The importance of Silvopastoral Systems for the recovery of forests and soils in the peruvian amazon
Written by: Miguel Erazo
PERU-Hub Communications Office
Did you know that out of the 70 million hectares of forest that used to exist in the Peruvian Amazon, 10 million hectares have already been deforested?
When we talk about the Amazon, we think of the great wealth of flora and wildlife that is abundant in this important tropical area of the Peruvian territory, but do we also think of the enormous problems it faces? Deforestation and soil degradation are clearly the main reasons that have caused an enormous loss of biodiversity in the so-called 'green lung of the world', which hosts a great variety of tropical forests and plays an important role in the reduction of greenhouse gases. This is well known to Julio Alegre, PhD., PERU-Hub's Crops Coordinator and renowned professor and researcher who has dedicated more than 40 years of his life to the management and recovery of degraded soils in the Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon. His work has taken him to different countries, especially in Asia and Africa.
In view of the situation the Peruvian Amazon region faces, we talked to Dr. Alegre to learn a little more about silvopastoral systems, a strategic axis promoted by PERU-Hub that brings benefits such as reforestation, sustainable livestock production and, of course, land recovery.
Julio Alegre, PhD., is a professor and main researcher at Universidad Nacional Agraria la Molina. He belongs to the Academic Department of Soils of the Faculty of Agronomy.
What is a Silvopastoral System?
A Silvopastoral System (or simply SPS) in a very simple way, is a tree that coexists with pastures and animals. If you have a paddock (site dedicated to cattle raising) where there are fences of pure trees and pastures that are grazed with animals, you will have a Silvopastoral System in that space.

Are there models of Silvopastoral Systems or is there only one?
There are many variants. The Silvopastoral System is an Agroforestry System (also known as SAF) and as a concept, can have a series of prototypes or variants. Within the Silvopastoral Systems can be for example: trees in rows within the paddock, scattered trees within the paddock, among many others, where the tree serves as shade or food for the animal.
Which SPS will be applied in San Martin?
Any of the above. We have studied this issue quite a bit in the area. The farmers themselves already do it. They do not know what Silvopastoral System is, but they apply it already. Farmers in San Martin commonly use live fences to prevent animals from escaping, and these live fences also serve as food for the cattle, fulfilling a double function: protection and food.
What key aspects should a producer consider before establishing an SPS on their farm?
He must know the wood producing or forestry species that he wants. If they are interested in feeding their animals, they would choose a shrub type tree that serves as fodder. And if they just want protection against the wind, they could put large windbreak trees. Now if they want it to serve both purposes (protection and food), they should use a specific species. The key is the knowledge about the plants, about the species that are going to grow in the system.
What are the benefits of a correctly applied SPS?
It reduces the tendency for pasture degradation. A farmer usually overgrazes the pasture without a Silvopastoral System, that is, he does not manage it properly. Whereas when he has trees, this process is regulated, and the stocking rate can be managed more efficiently.
At the same time, the SPS helps with soil conservation, pasture reforestation, higher pasture production, erosion prevention, animal, and farm productivity, among others.
It also adds value to the farmer's farm or pasture. If we plant timber trees, we will have timber in the long term. It will generate more money than all the cattle that have been raised. In the interim the farmer can sell milk, beef, etc. In other words, while you are waiting for the tree to produce, you are building your productive system for milk, meat, etc.
San Martin is one of the regions that is continuously working on the reforestation of degraded areas in the Peruvian Amazon.
«If the farmer has a tree on his farm, this tree will also serve as a greenhouse gas sink.Environmentally it is also a benefit.»
What is the difference between Silvopastoral Systems and Agroforestry?
All the terms that we use: silvopastoral, alley cropping, row cropping, are all names of Agroforestry Systems, i.e., the general term is Agroforestry. Agroforestry includes Silvopastoral Systems, Agrosilvopastoral Systems, Row Crops, Fence Crops, and other variants. In the Agrosilvopastoral System you have: Agro=Crops, Silvo=Trees, Pastoral=Pasture and Animals. So, it is simply when you work initially with crops, then with trees (preferably protected if they are not yet grown), then with a cover (pasture) and finally with animals.
What species of trees, pasture, animals, and crops make up the Agrosilvopastoral Systems that PERU-Hub is implementing?
We are studying the following options:
Trees. We are going to emphasize those of fast and medium growth, which are Capirona, Bolaina, Tornillo and Shaina.
In the case of Grasses, we would work with those that are already known and established, such as: 'Brachiarias', grasses that farmers already use. We can also use leguminous plants as a protein bank with Centrosema macrocarpum, Desmodium ovalifolium, etc. We also have shrubs such as Leucaena leucocephala, Erythrina sp. among others.
Animals: We have Gyr (a breed of cattle) on the farm. They are 100% milk producers.
Trees act as a protection for the soil in the presence of water from heavy rainfall.
Regarding degraded soils, can an SPS recover the soil, or does it act only to prevent soil erosion?
It recovers it. I have recovered degraded improved pastures with hedges and trees. Crop hedges improve soil fertility, fix nitrogen, and have other properties such as providing quality organic matter that improves soil physical properties such as the ability to improve soil structure and water retention and serves as food for a great biodiversity of soil macro and microorganisms that determine good soil health.
Leguminous trees also have properties such as nitrogen uptake from the atmosphere and the leaf litter improves soil fertility. If these trees are on slopes, you put them in the contour, and they generate living barriers that protect from runoff and erosion and decrease the washing of nutrients and organic matter.
Do you know of any case of silvopastoral systems successfully applied in tropical regions of the Peruvian Amazon? What key information or data can you gather from this experience and how could it be useful for the work you are developing with PERU-Hub?
One thinks that farmers do not do agroforestry or silvopastoral systems when they have been doing it for many years. As I said before, farmers do agroforestry when they produce cocoa or coffee with shade trees.
We have found 12 different silvopastoral systems from Chachapoyas to Tarapoto, some of which are excellent and in reforestation programs the trees were left in pastures and are still grazed with animals.
On the other hand, the success of an SPS, as the farmers of Chachapoyas know, lies in the use of electric fences, because it allows the management of the animal load and grazing, thus avoiding the animal to walk alone and excessive consumption of the vegetation on the soil.
Electric fences for the Pucayacu farm plots at the Regional Development Institute (IRD) in Tarapoto, San Martin.
"Overgrazing is the main cause of deforestation and land degradation in Peru and worldwide. It is controlled simply with adequate animal stocking, adequate pastures, silvopastoral systems, annual maintenance with fertilization, rotation of paddocks and this is synthesized in a simple way by giving rest to the pasture so that it resumes, not using it until it is exhausted for sustainable production."
Finally, how do you see the development of SPSs in Peru, especially in tropical regions? Have we made significant progress, or do we still have a long way to go?
The road is always long in Peru. Other countries are already 20 years ahead of us and we had started together. For example, Colombia, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica have had SPS's for more than 40 years. The inclusion of trees is in itself a long process.
I have the experience of having visited farmers in Colombia and they have implemented thousands of hectares of SPS for meat and milk production with the management of electric fences. It means that they have already adopted it by recognizing and understanding its importance. Those SPS designs from the Colombian experience will help to solve the problem of deforestation and soil degradation, very big problems we face in our country.
«There are only 60 million non-deforested forests left out of the 70 million we used to have.»
My hypothesis is that we should not open a single hectare of primary forest to make any kind of intervention in the Peruvian Amazon, there is already enough degraded area and we do not need to extend the agricultural frontier. Rather, we need to recover what is already degraded. Through recovery, we will improve the environment and be in line with the demands of the international community regarding the care of our forests.

I finally got to fire my 1919a4 today. It was a bit frustrating at first until I dialed out the headspacing a lil bit and she started running much better. The reason for this post, is that the trigger/lockframe seem to be acting a lil strange. When I pull the trigger, it seems like I have to pull it all the way to its stops, then there is a hesitation before it finally releases/fires. I had heard people mention KMP triggers etc. I was wondering what the best trigger would be for my semi 1919a4. I am curently using the one that came with it from ORF. Will I have to modify anything or is it just a simple field stripping and replacemement?. Your imput is much appreciated and valued as always.

In this article, we are discussing the ATmega328P analog comparator hardware feature.
Atmega328p DIP Dual Inline Package Pin Out
What You Will Learn
How the internal Analog Comparator works in Arduino?
Which Registers control the Analog Comparator of AVR ATmega328p?
How Analog Comparator is enabled in ATmega328p?
Analog Comparator
The Analog Comparator compares the input values on the positive pin AIN0 and negative pin AIN1. When the voltage on the positive pin AIN0 is higher than the voltage on the negative pin AIN1, the Analog Comparator output, ACO, is set. The comparator's output can be set to trigger the Timer/Counter1 Input Capture function. In addition, the comparator can trigger a separate interrupt, exclusive to the Analog Comparator. The user can select Interrupt triggering on comparator output rise, fall, or toggle.
ATmega328P Analog Comparator Block Diagram
The Power Reduction ADC bit, PRADC must be disabled by writing a logical zero to be able to use the ADC input MUX.
Analog Comparator Multiplexed Input
It is possible to select any of the ADC7…0 pins to replace the negative input to the Analog Comparator. The ADC multiplexer is used to select this input, and consequently, the ADC must be switched off to utilize this feature. If the Analog Comparator Multiplexer Enable bit (ACME in ADCSRB) is set and the ADC is switched off (ADEN in ADCSRA is zero), MUX2…0 in ADMUX select the input pin to replace the negative input to the Analog Comparator. If ACME is cleared or ADEN is set, AIN1 is applied to the negative input to the Analog Comparator.

Free standing sculpture is a type of three-dimensional artwork that is created to be viewed from all sides and is not attached to a wall or other supporting structure. It is a self-contained artwork that is meant to be viewed independently, rather than as part of a larger architectural or decorative scheme.
There are many different materials that can be used to create free standing sculpture, including metal, stone, wood, and various types of plastic or composite materials. These materials can be manipulated in a variety of ways to create different forms, shapes, and textures, allowing for a wide range of artistic expression.
One of the key characteristics of free standing sculpture is its ability to engage the viewer from multiple angles. This allows the artist to create a sense of movement and dynamism within the work, as the viewer is able to see the sculpture from different perspectives as they walk around it. This can create a more immersive and interactive experience for the viewer, as they are able to fully engage with the work and see it from all sides.
Free standing sculpture can also be an important part of public art projects, as it can be placed in outdoor spaces or public squares where it can be viewed by a wide audience. This type of sculpture can serve as a focal point for a community, providing a gathering place and a source of inspiration and contemplation.
In addition to its visual impact, free standing sculpture can also have a strong symbolic or conceptual meaning. Many sculptures are created to convey a message or theme, and can serve as a way for artists to express their ideas and ideas about the world around them.
Overall, free standing sculpture is a versatile and powerful form of artistic expression that allows artists to create three-dimensional works that can be viewed and engaged with from multiple angles. It is a rich and varied medium that has the ability to capture the imagination and inspire the viewer.
Relief Sculpture: Definition, Types, History
Not every sculpture is as large as Mount Rushmore! The sculpture basically shows up from a plane. Common cold glass techniques are engraving, rubbing, sandblasting, and acid etching. However, a few things are universal about sculptures: they can be For those of you who may not know, a freestanding sculpture is one that can hold its own weight or is supported by a base, while a freestanding sculpture definition is not attached to the ground and will not be moved. The sculpture is made of approximately 80,000 blocks of ice and took over 400 hours to assemble. I believe that everyone has an inner artist and all it takes is an open mind and some playful experimentation to find it : Welcome to Artistry Found! The advantage sculptors have in this regard is that they can make use of both the solid mass of the object, as well as the voids in and around the sculpture, to create the illusion of motion. Buying and collecting original sculptures While we generally see sculptures in public places, they can also be privately collected and displayed. This is one of the oldest methods in the history of sculpting and many important sculptures have been made using these two techniques.
Relief Sculpture vs. Free Standing Sculpture
Often mistaken for one another, freestanding sculptures and relief sculptures both refer to sculptures that sit on the ground but operate differently. Most statues are three-dimensional and entirely free-standing; the artist traditionally had to understand the balance of the artwork to ensure it stayed upright safely. If you take a moment to look up the word sculpture, you will find it is a popular and broad term whose meaning varies from person to person. Early on, sculpture was related to religion and idol worship, but slowly became one of the most recognizable art forms in existence today. It consists of a stainless steel tower that serves as a support structure for a large, circular piece of stainless steel that is 40 meters 131 ft high and 30 meters 98 ft in diameter. What does freestanding mean in art? Relief Sculpture People normally visualize sculptures as 3D arts that are projected out into space.
What Is Freestanding Sculpture?
The first preserved art object was a small, stone-carved female figurine that dates back to 230,000 years B. When viewed from this angle, a viewer can enjoy the true nature of that sculpture. This unique work features high relief granite portraits of American Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt. It is not conceived as a receding perspective space or The central problem of relief sculpture is to contract or condense three-dimensional solid form and spatial relations into a limited depth space. Recently, a freestanding sculpture in Japan made from a 2-meter-tall 6. Low-reliefs or bas-reliefs are relief sculptures in which projections of images are low.
Sculpture
A relief sculpture, therefore, is not separate or distinct from but is connected and therefore dependent on its background to be visible. Sculptures can also be abstract or representational. Sculpture is subject to the demands of balance, including physical balance and balance as a principle of design, as well as to principles of proportion. A relief is a part of a wall with sculpted elements but remains attached to the solid wall, column, ceiling, or another background of the same material. Freestanding sculptures, as the name suggests, are stand-alone objects that can be seen from all angles and can be walked around or turned in the hand, depending on their size.
Awasome Free Standing Sculpture Definition Ideas
Thus, a relief sculpture is typically viewed like a picture. Architectural Press, 2003 Weiss, Jeffrey S. Freestanding sculpture is sculptural work that is purchased and purchased from a retail store. It is meant to represent the famous Mount Fuji. Examples can be seen with coins. Performance art projects may involve a variety of participants or simply one person, usually the artist. Freestanding sculpture is a sculpture created in the form of a free-standing object, meaning it exists in its own right, without having to be attached to a supporting structure.
What is Freestanding Sculpture?
The Parthenon frieze for the Athenian Acropolis is perhaps the most well-known example of a relief sculpture. Some three-dimensional works can portray different meanings when looked at from certain angles. Once the sculpture is completed, weather and sun damage can severely damage a sculpture. Thus, a free standing sculpture can be viewed from all angles. Traditional 3D Art Forms In the beginning, people created statues out of stone and wood. Freestanding sculpture is unattached to the background and has space on all sides.
Sculpture vs. Statue What's The Difference?
We can recognize several different types of reliefs. The voids are soft, while the solids interact with our personal space and cause both physical and subliminal reactions. That means that I'm spending my time these days working on more personal and fine art projects. Relief Sculpture generally refers to a kind of sculpture that is essentially attached to a background from which the artwork was carved or shaped. Notable examples of statutes include Michelangelo's "David," the "Venus Di Milo," New York's "The Statue Of Liberty," Brazil's "Christ The Redeemer,""The Grand Buddha" are just a handful of the many beautiful statues in existence today. A work of art produced by carving or shaping stone is known as sculpture.
What is three dimensional art sculpture?
The Statue of Liberty stands tall as the epitome of the friendship between France and USA. This process resulted in the appearance of installation art and performance art as the contemporary variants of 3D media. Pentelic, Carrara, Parian marbles. This is one of the oldest art techniques that date back to prehistoric times. This is most apparent in relief sculptures because the work of art is basically attached on the background. Since the inception of this art, humankind has developed several types of sculpture. Some sculptures are free-standing, while others, like relief sculptures, are fixed to a wall or structure.
Freestanding sculpture, for your consideration
A viewer either walks around a free-standing sculpture or turns it in their hand, depending on the sculpture's size. This combination of understanding and sensitive response, often called a sense of form, can be This article deals with the elements and principles of design; the materials, methods, techniques, and forms of sculpture; and its subject matter, imagery, symbolism, and uses. It is also referred to as sculpture in round. Another one is the Cloud Gate is an abstract piece of art by Sir Anish Kapoor. After this, the artist starts adding finer details to the sculpture, but he or she should always remember to maintain the basic shape and proportions of the sculpture to help it retain its identity and aesthetic appeal. These may be multimedia events with light effects or video projections, or they may rely on audience interaction. Other types of relief—for example, Classical Greek and most Indian—are conceived primarily in sculptural terms.
Freestanding Sculpture (Definition & Famous Examples)
We can practically walk around the sculpture and view it from all sides. The V Shaped Crest Of Muscle That Separates The Groin From The Hips. This creative process involves pouring hot metal into pre-prepared molds to create colossal statues or compositions. Tuma, Pablo Picasso, and the National Gallery of Art U.

EDR: Does EDR Capture CVE-2023-23397 in a Threat Intelligence Feed?
Environment
Question
Does the EDR server have a threat intelligence feed to monitor for CVE-2023-23397?
Microsoft Outlook Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Answer
The detecting the malicious message properties themselves is something better handled by an email security gateway as this is all happening on the network layer.
You can create a watchlist specific to your environment that looks for netconns to standard SMB and LDAP ports for IP ranges outside of where your authentication infrastructure is located. This can help monitor an attempt occurring from the EDR side. Because of the need for something very specific to your environment, a threat intelligence feed cannot be created.

Health Benefits of Using Hand Dryers after Washing Hands
Maintaining good health requires practicing hand hygiene, and it's crucial to dry hands properly after washing them to stop the transmission of bacteria and germs. The use of hand dryers is one of the most well-liked and effective methods for drying hands. We shall look at the advantages of utilizing hand dryers after washing hands in this article.
Keeping Bacteria and Germs from Spreading
The ability of hand dryers to lessen the spread of bacteria and germs is among their many health advantages. Paper towels and other conventional hand drying techniques might potentially transmit bacteria and germs. Visit thereputable Davidson Washroom for the greatest commercial hand dryers.
According to studies, paper towels can harbor bacteria after just one use, and when hands are dried, these bacteria can spread to the hands. Contrarily, hand dryers use a high-speed airflow to dry hands, which can actually clean the hands of bacteria. This can lessen the spread of infections and germs in hospitals, schools, and public restrooms.
Lowering the likelihood of infection
The ability of hand dryers to lower the risk of infection is another advantage. Because moisture on the skin can foster the growth of germs and viruses, hands that are wet are more likely to become infected.
Hand dryers can speed up the drying process, cutting down on the amount of time hands are wet and, thus, cutting down on the danger of infection. Additionally, by eliminating the need to share a towel or paper towel, employing hand dryers can help lower the risk of cross-contamination.
Environmental Friendly
Hand dryers can also be more environmentally friendly than traditional hand drying methods, such as paper towels. Paper towels are not only wasteful but also require a significant amount of energy to produce. Hand dryers, on the other hand, use significantly less energy and produce less waste. This can help to reduce the environmental impact of hand drying and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Cost-effective
Additionally, hand dryers can be more cost-effective than traditional hand drying methods. Paper towels and other disposable hand drying methods need to be regularly replenished, which can add up over time. Hand dryers, on the other hand, require a one-time investment, and their energy consumption is relatively low. This can help to reduce ongoing costs and save money in the long run.
Convenient and Hygienic
Moreover, hand dryers can also be more convenient than traditional hand drying methods. Paper towels can run out, and they can be messy to use. Hand dryers, on the other hand, are always available and easy to use. They also take up less space than paper towel dispensers, which can be especially beneficial in small restrooms.
Hand dryers are also more hygienic as they do not require contact with a surface that has been touched by many people, reducing the risk of cross-contamination.
Improving the Cleanliness of Public Restrooms
Another benefit of using hand dryers is that they can help to improve the overall cleanliness of public restrooms. Traditional hand drying methods, such as paper towels, can create a mess in public restrooms. Paper towels can be left on the floor, clogging up sinks and creating unsanitary conditions. Hand dryers, on the other hand, do not create any waste, and they can help to keep public restrooms cleaner and more hygienic.
Accessible for People with Disabilities
Additionally, hand dryers can also be more accessible forpeople with disabilities. Paper towel dispensers can be difficult for people with limited mobility to use, and they may not be able to reach them. Hand dryers, on the other hand, are easily accessible for people of all abilities and can be used by people in wheelchairs or with other mobility issues.
Gentle on the Skin
Furthermore, hand dryers can also be beneficial for people with sensitive skin. Traditional hand drying methods, such as paper towels, can be harsh on the skin and can cause irritation, dryness, and itching. Hand dryers, on the other hand, use a gentle airflow to dry hands, which can be gentler on the skin. This can be especially beneficial for people with sensitive skin or eczema.
Reducing Exposure to Allergens
Moreover, hand dryers can also be beneficial for people with allergies. Traditional hand drying methods, such as paper towels, can contain allergens such as tree pollen, mold, and dust mites. Hand dryers, on the other hand, do not contain allergens and can help to reduce exposure to allergens in public restrooms.
Advanced Technology in Hand Dryers
In addition to the health benefits, hand dryers can also have other advantages over traditional hand drying methods. For example, some hand dryers are equip with HEPA filters which can remove 99.97% of airborne particles, including dust, pollen, and bacteria. This can help to improve the air quality in public restrooms and create a cleaner and healthier environment for everyone.
Hand dryers' cost-effectiveness
It's also crucial to take into account the cost-effectiveness of employing hand dryers, which is a non-health benefit. While conventional hand drying techniques, like using paper towels. It may appear less expensive at first, the costs can pile up quickly over time. Paper towels can be expensive to buy and have continuously restocked, especially in locations with a lot of traffic.
On the other hand, hand dryers only need to be purchased once and use a small amount of energy. In the long term, hand dryers may prove to be a more economical way toencourage personal hygiene and stop the spread of bacteria and germs. Some hand dryers also include automated shut-off features, which can aid in energy conservation and save operating expenses.
Finally, using hand dryers after washing your hands has a number of health advantages. They can aid in reducing the spread of germs and bacteria, lower the risk of infection, and improve hygiene while also being more cost- and environmentally-friendly.
To promote good hand hygiene and stop the spread of germs and bacteria, it's vital to take into account using hand dryers as an appropriate hand drying method. It's also crucial to remember that hand dryers need to be constantly cleaned and maintained in order to function correctly and provide the best level of hygiene | eng | 015992b3-cfc6-4c18-925d-f4cfef7b5753 | https://immow.net/health-benefits-of-using-hand-dryers-after-washing-hands/ |
Passing aircraft wring extra snow and rain out of clouds
Date:
January 31, 2019
Source:
American Geophysical Union
Summary:
Planes flying over rain or snow can intensify the precipitation by as much as 10-fold, according to a new study. ThePlanes flying over rain or snow can intensify the precipitation by as much as 10-fold, according to a new study.
TheUnder the right conditions, this effect can boost rain and snow storms over airports, where many planes intersect the cloud layer on approach and descent.
"The interesting thing about this feature is that it is caused by aircraft, but it is not caused by pollution," said Dimitri Moisseev, a researcher at the University of Helsinki and the Finnish Meteorological Institute and the lead author of the new study in AGU's Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres. "Even if there would be absolutely ecological airplanes, which don't have any combustion, no fuel or anything, it would still happen."
Although the bands of enhanced precipitation are artificially created, the physical process jump-started by the passage of planes can occur naturally, which makes them useful laboratories for studying the formation of precipitation, according to Moisseev. Observing them may help meteorologists "nowcast" natural rain and snow conditions 2 to 6 hours into the future, which is essential for airport operations.
"When you, like myself, look at the radar data every day there is always something interesting going on," Moisseev said. "Surprisingly enough, there's always new things that we cannot explain still."
Moisseev discovered curious streamers of heightened precipitation in scans from the campus radar antenna at the University of Helsinki Kumpula. The unnaturally straight patches of intense precipitation appeared against a background of lighter rain or snow and seemed to bend toward the nearby Helsinki-Vantaa airport.
Their shapes looked intriguingly like the inverse of cloud formations known as fallstreaks, hole-punch or canal clouds, phenomena which can occur when aircraft fly through clouds of water droplets that are colder than 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit) -- but aren't freezing.
The new study demonstrates that a similar phenomenon can enhance or elicit rain or snowfall from cloud layers underlying these supercooled cloud layers.
Supercool
Both tiny water droplets and ice crystals form clouds. Pure water can stay liquid down to -40 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit) without dust particles or other suitable surfaces present to seed crystallization into ice. So water droplets that condense into clouds can be much colder than the typical freezing point of 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit). Such supercooled liquid clouds are common in low- to mid-level cloud layers.
Air pressure changes from passing aircraft can trigger these supercooled water droplets to freeze into ice crystals. Air expands abruptly in the wake of wing and propeller tips, causing a dramatic local drop in pressure and temperature. Inside a cloud of water droplets that is already supercooled between -15 to -20 degrees Celsius (5 to -4 degrees Fahrenheit), the passing aircraft can drop the temperature below -40 degrees Celsius (-40 degrees Fahrenheit) and instigate the formation of ice crystals.
The new ice crystals help freeze more supercool water droplets, setting off a chain reaction of crystal formation in a widening circle around the path of the aircraft. When the crystals fall, they create holes or streaks of clear air in the cloud, sometimes opening a window of blue sky if the cloud layer is thin. In most cases, the ice crystals evaporate before they reach the ground.
Meteorologists have known that passing aircraft can freeze water droplets into ice crystals and previous work had suggested that the process could enhance rain and snow in underlying clouds, but the effect had not been captured in detail.
Andrew Heymsfield, a senior scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research's Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology Laboratory in Boulder, Colorado, and a researcher unaffiliated with the new study, had noted the potential for inadvertent seeding of supercooled clouds over airports in a previous paper about the formation and spread of aircraft-induced holes in clouds. He observed similar arcs of heightened snowfall in radar data collected near Denver, Colorado's former Stapleton Airport in 1992.
"We know that planes can trigger precipitation. The authors of this study have a lot of cases, with wonderful data from ground-based instruments -- radar, lidar -- good information about particle size and concentration, and radiosonde data to show the likely temperature for formation," Heymsfield said. "They succeeded in documenting the phenomenon."
To find out if the streamers of heightened precipitation could be caused by aircraft, Moisseev and his colleagues reviewed 11 years of the University of Helsinki's weather radar data and found 17 days with repeat cases of the characteristic linear streamers between December 2008 and January 2018.
They examined flightpaths near the airport to see whether the streamers could be caused by passing aircraft. Flightpaths archived to 2011 confirmed aircraft passed within 2-10 kilometers (1-6 miles) of the intense precipitation streamers in most of the cases observed.
"The intensified precipitation basically follows the track of an airplane above the cloud," Moisseev said. "It could extend over hundreds of kilometers, but the cross-section would be maybe 100 meters. So it's a very narrow, long feature."
Seeding snow
The additional ice crystals raise the rate at which crystals collide to form larger snowflakes, intensifying snowfall, according to the authors.
This could happen if an airplane flies directly through a precipitating cloud, but the authors suspect something more complicated is going on, because their data locates the starting height of rain and snow enhancement far above the layer that is already precipitating.
The new study concludes the airplane-generated ice crystals most likely fall from a supercooled upper cloud layer into a lower layer that is actively raining or snowing, begetting more rain or snow from the lower cloud layer.
Satellite data support this scenario, showing a top layer of clouds composed of supercool droplets or a mix of ice and water, poised at about the right temperature to turn to ice crystals under the influence of aircraft. This upper, supercool layer floats at the typical approach altitude of planes flying into the Helsinki-Vantaa airport.
Rain and snow artificially enhanced by air traffic has useful clues for natural precipitation and the factors affecting the efficiency of formation, according to Moisseev. The streamers are accidental experiments that allow the researchers to observe the effect along the path of the aircraft, and just outside it, and ask questions the kinds of microphysical processes taking place.

About Part of the One
Here's one - creating Nightblood was supposed to be an attempt at creating a shardblade with Endowment's investiture. But instead of trying to animate any old piece of metal, they used an actual, dead shardblade they got from Roshar, and woke it up into kind of a Frankenstein's monster (lifeless spren?).
My money would be on an Ashspren, because Division seems like Nightblood's thing. To be clear, not an abandoned spren, but one they tried to take back to Nalthis which caused it to die, which maybe they didn'tknowwould happen. So Shashara tried to fix it...
I haven't read anything that would specifically disprove this even though there's a good chance it's out there.
I definitely think that the splintering of Honor, the weakening of the Oathpact, and the Heralds' madness is all related. My theory is that the Heralds betraying the spirit of their oath (though not tge letter of it) led to the splintering of Honor, but the events could have been in reverse too where Honor's death weakened the pact and done something to their minds.
I think this is definitely a likely point, that the Oathpact was changed and the bonds were all transferred to Taln.
I was also wondering if this was a catalyst that might have led to the splintering of Honor. Not quite a broken oath, but enough of a deviation that it allowed Odium an opening, or that the shift took an even greater part of Honor's power to bind Odium and so left him weaker like Preservation in MB. The timeline would indicate that Honor was dying during the time of the false desolation, which is after the Heralds abandoned Taln.
For the guy Lift found - Mraize was also after his aviar. In fact I think his aviar was trying to hunt it, which would imply that he was targeted. And further, after he dies, someone stole his shardplate, which seems like a GB thing even more so as they're all about collecting invested items.
I'm going team Endowment. I think she's got a big part to play in how all this will go down, between Vasher's and the creation of Nightblood which obviously has major cosmere implications.
Speaking of Vasher's purpose for being Returned, the name Warbreaker might still have a foreshadowed meaning in the future, like finding a way to stop an interplanetary war.
I'm actually not sure about this. Bronze allows allomancers to feel a pulse (rhythm) of investiture being used. Vin can even tell the difference between different types of metal being burned eventually. To me it suggests that this is a Cosmere wide phenomenon, though you would need the right combination of magics and equipment to be able to both detect and duplicate the creation of different types of anti-Investiture the way Navani has. Though Gavilar's ability to create it before means there might be still other ways of creating anti-light that we don't know about yet.
If the smoke that bleeds off of NB is converted Ruin investiture (cool idea btw) that opens up some other interesting possibilities. Would there be a way to freeze/coalesce that investiture into Atium?
And speaking anti investiture, if you had a source of anti-Ruin, you could destroy whoever was holding NB in the physical realm by bring it close and letting them mix. In a gem? The way it eats/bleeds the investiture it would be like setting off a nuke probably.
I have a couple of thoughts on this. Firstly, humans look different when they are physically in the CR, vs when they can be seen from there but are still in the physical realm. So this means a couple possibilities:
-Spren aren't physically transported to the CR when their radiants go there, but are merely seen in their cognitive aspect once the radiants cross over.
Or
-Spren do look different when they cross over because their cognitive entities, and this is how they perceive themselves. However, something about the box blocks the cognitive aspect of the seon, and so it remains in physical form when being transported over to the CR.
I tend to think this second one is closer to the truth, which potentially means that the metal in the box somehow blocks connection. If the Ghostbloods knew what this was made of, it might be exactly what they need to transport a cognitive shadow offworld. Though it's possible that severing that connection could have similar issues to trapping a Herald in a gemstone and they would just kind of dissipate in transport.
I'm definitely in agreement that it's probably Autonomy, for these and other reasons. But I can't deny that this was a new and intriguing idea @Attentea proposed. And half the fun with the Cosmere is theorizing wacky stuff like this in lieu of any real knowledge.
Some interesting, if conflicting info on the Coppermind related to this. First, Raysium and Trellium do not appear physically the same:
Raysium is a bright golden metal, so light it is almost white.
Trellium is a silvery metal with a red cast to it, and dark red spots similar to rust.
But also interesting to note, there are similar known properties of the two metals:
Raysium can naturally conduct Investiture, drawing it in from any source. This applies to all of the Lights, but also to spren - allowing someone to transfer spren between gemstones, including spren halves produced during the creation of pairing fabrial.
Trellium can steal Allomantic and Feruchemical abilities and grant them to kandra. Presumably its Hemalurgic ability is similar to that of Atium, allowing the transfer of any ability with somewhat variable success depending on the binding point.
One can conduct investiture and cognitive entities, and the other, through hemalurgy, can transfer an individual's connection to investiture. Presumably it could also be used to spike out a nahel bond from a radiant in the same way, feasibly granting anyone with the right knowledge the same capability in that regard as Ishar and his ability to steal bonds. Or Dalinar as an unchained Bondsmith under Odium's direction.
This leaves open the possibility that Trellium is an alloy, perhaps of Raysium, with an existing metal or another god metal. Also (and I can't find the citation for this), Brandon has said that a new vessel carrying a shard could, over time, produce a god metal with different properties. It's possible that with T as the new vessel that after some time (not sure if MB era 2 is long enough after his ascension) that this could be the case.
Another concept: could the Iri use one their globes full of anti-Selish investiture to try to make the CR there less dangerous? And if they screwed up and blew it up instead...
Though I doubt they'd be able gather enough anti-Investiture to make a dent in the problem there, they could still make a spectacular CR explosion
I've been lurking around here a while, but with all the juicy stuff that came with RoW felt like I finally had to make a post and contribute. I had some thoughts about the potential to seriously weaponize anti-investiture that could have devestaconsequences for both Roshar and the greater Cosmere.
I understand that by the end, El is already testing a spren-killing weapon, but that's not what I wanted to talk about here. Rather, this is about the possibility of intentionally making bombs like the one that Navani's scholars accidentally set off.
This fairly explosive reaction that was enough to turn a couple of people to chunks was set off by a small gemstone's worth of anti-Voidlight. How much bigger could an explosion exponentially be using something like a gemheart, or even a perfect gem? If a Fused could sneak into the vault in Lasting Integrity where they store the Stormlight, would they be able to make an explosion capable of leveling the fortress itself? I'm not sure that it could permanently damage the spren in the CR, but at the very least it would destroy their reserves of light.
I can imagine in the future making bombs out of two gemstones, one infused with storm/void/lifelight, and the other with it's opposite, with a trigger switch of Raysium that could be flipped to connect the 2 and set off the detonation with a remote fabrial. For that matter, what would happen if you blew up a conjoined ruby? Would it's opposite detonate as well? That takes this from more of a suicide bomb Fused potential to being able to assassinate someone from the other end of a spanreed, which has some terrifying consequences.
Other horrifying ideas: could you infuse anti-Towerlight into the Sibling and detonate the mountainside of Urithiru like an atomic bomb? Could you have an anti-Stormlight sphere that could blow up a Bondsmith trying to open a perpendicularity?
It also raises the question of analogous anti-Investiture for other shards, and how that would work. Let me know what you think! | eng | 67361d5e-b287-484c-8e01-d592abc058c8 | https://www.17thshard.com/forum/profile/44563-part-of-the-one/ |

So, you are accessing "ageRate" as a class variable in EpidemicWorld (I'm assuming EpidemicWorld is the name of your world class). Does such a variable actually exist? Have you declared it in EpidemicWorld? Is it definitely a variable and not a method? (If it's a method you need to put "()" after the name to signify a method call). Is it definitely a class variable (declared as "static")? - if not perhaps you should be accessing it in a different way.
My point is, just looking at the code where you get the error is not enough to tell what the problem is nor how to fix it. Can you also show the declaration of "ageRate" in the EpidemicWorld class?
'ageRate' is the number of cycles that represent a year; I am thinking about changing it to '8'.
1) So they do not die off so quickly
2) Term-length (pregnancy) would be an even 6 cycles (3/4th of a year)
Or, maybe better would be '12' (each cycle would represent a month; and 12 months is a full year); therefore '9' would be Term-length (pregnancy) in months (which is normal).
Anyways, make yours whatever you feel comfortable with! | eng | 021ecca7-8c3d-4530-a2db-bed6279db8f0 | https://www.greenfoot.org/topics/132/60 |

Sleep Is Kind Of A Big Deal
We all know sleep is important, and most of us probably need more, but do we necessarily know why its so important, and how much we actually need?
Well, here we'll explain exactly that. The what, why and how of sleep.
So firstly, what is sleep?
Sleep is simply a recurring state of rest which is essential for all bodily functions. From brain function, to immune health, to weight management and anabolic functions for the muscular system.
So yeah, its a big deal and should be one of the first things to address on any program. If you have all those functions working optimally, you'll undoubtedly see a positive change in your health + physique.
Now lets delve a little deeper into the mechanisms of sleep.
Sleep occurs in cycles of different phases.
Light Sleep (NREM):
So we have 2 cycles of light sleep - non rapid eye movement 1 (NREM 1) - which makes up around 10% - as the name suggests this is a light sleep.
Then, NREM 2 light sleep makes up approximately 50%, for a total of 60% of our total sleep being from light sleep.
Role of sleep in NREM 1-2 phases:
Promoting memory
Suppressing cortisol - important as cortisol is a hormone which is responsible for regulating metabolism, blood pressure + blood sugar levels and managing inflammation (usually considered the 'stress' hormone). | eng | 5edff241-cece-4b2c-94d7-1aa3b727b6f2 | https://www.spartanomics.com/post/sleep-is-kind-of-a-big-deal |
Finesse ZenDesk Integration
Hope you are doing good. I am trying to integrate Finesse with Zendesk and here are my requirements.
> Create a ZenDesk Ticket and assign it to the agent
> Grab the ticket number and do a screen pop to the agent
I would like to understand what would be the best way to achieve this. I can do a REST call from CVP but if the call gets abandoned while customers are in the queue there would be plenty of tickets without any assignments . Also, CVP will not have agent id so i cannot use this method. Hence, i am trying to achieve this using Finesse answer event.
As per my understanding, i can create a ticket with Zendesk using REST call by screen pop and sending the agent id for assignment . However, once the ticket is created and Zendesk sends the ticket number back - How would Finesse act on it ? I would need to do a screen pop for the agent and open up this ticket in their browser.
This makes me think that i might need a custom Gadget which would basically take inputs from the Finesse and create a ticket and act on the data received. Is that the right thing to do ? | eng | b4d784a7-5bb9-4ce0-b2ec-30f2278f29dd | https://community.cisco.com/t5/contact-center/finesse-zendesk-integration/m-p/3538794/highlight/true |

Quickly Scrap Your Car for Cash in Oman
Quickly Scrap Your Car for Cash in Oman
Scrap your car for cash in Oman with WeScrapCar.com because every month, we assist thousands of individuals just like you in receiving cash for their abandoned cars! It has been stated numerous times. The amount of money you receive when selling your carin Oman to a junkyard is determined by the car's weight. However, what does that really mean, and what is the weight of an automobile?
The junkyard weighs your car when you bring it in! On the way to its final resting place, the car drives over an industrial-sized scale. When an automobile is tow trucked into a salvage yard, the driver and the car are weighed, the car is dropped off, and the tow truck is weighed again on the way out.
After that, the difference is computed. While some scales are accurate to tenths of a pound, the majority are accurate to the pound. You receive payment for your car based on its weight as determined by the scale after it has been weighed. You're done; they'll give you cash or maybe a check right away.
However, when you bring your scrap car to the junkyard, how much should you anticipate it to weigh? How much does the typical junk car cost? And how can one sell a scrap carin Oman for the most cash?
Scrap Your Car for Cash in Oman | The Average Weight of a Car!
Do you want to know the prices in advance for the salvage yard or do you believe the scale is off? Some kind of baseline number is required. While most scales measure in pounds or kilograms, you are usually paid by the ton when it comes to car scrap prices.
What is the weight of an automobile in tons? These are a few instances of curb weights for cars. Just over 2,000 pounds makes up the smallest cars currently available on the market. That is just over one ton, and that is for a vehicle similar to the Mitsubishi Mirage.
Bigger cars are another matter. A Mercury Grand Marquis from the 1990s, for example, weighs just under 3,800 pounds, or 1.9 tons. The weight of a midsize car like the Chevrolet Malibu is about 3,100 pounds.
How many tons, though, is a car? The average passenger vehicle weighs slightly more than 1.5 tons, but the range is between one and two tons.
What Is The Weight of An Average SUV?
A small SUV would be comparable to a Toyota RAV4 or a Honda CR-V, both weighing about 3,300 pounds. Then there are enormous full-size SUVs that weigh about 5,800 pounds, or nearly three tons, with massive V8 engines and a ton of options inside! The Ford Explorer, which weighs in at, is an average SUV.
What's The Weight Of A Truck?
Compact and full-size pickup trucks differ so much from one another that it would be unfair to lump them together. Around 3,300 pounds is the approximate weight of a compact SUV and a compact truck like the Ford Ranger. A typical pickup truck weighs about three tons, or 6,000 pounds. An example of this would be a Dodge Ram 1500.
However, there are also much larger trucks available, such as the Duramax diesel-powered Chevrolet Silverado 2500, which creeps up to 7,000 or 8,000 pounds of curb weight.
Accordingly, the typical pickup truck weighs about 6,600 pounds, or 3.3 tons, when it is on the scale. The average value of a junk car is undoubtedly raised by these weights.
What Is A Minivan's Weight?
Minivans appear larger and heavier than they actually are, so it can be challenging to weigh them down with curb weights!
A car similar to the Kia Sedona weighs about 4,400 pounds at the curb, or about the same as a small pickup truck.
Despite appearing heavier, a larger minivan like the GMC Safari from the 1990s weighs only roughly 3,900 pounds.
The incredibly popular Dodge Grand Caravan weighs in at just under 3,800 pounds, or slightly less than two tons.
At the auto junkyard, it's reasonable to assume that a minivan will weigh approximately two tons.
What Is The Typical Car Scrap Price?
Similar to the stock market, the cost per ton of junk cars fluctuates daily or even hourly. Thus, it is challenging to determine the average scrap car price. To find the best scrap car price per ton for your car, you'll need to be extra careful because it varies amongst the junkyards in your area.
Thus, determining the value of your junk car can be challenging. The price per ton for scrap from a junk yard can be vary or more, depending on the current market rates. Furthermore, there is no assurance that the price will not have decreased after you get your car there.

How Much Is It To Scrap An Automobile?
You probably want to know how much scrap auto is going to cost, whether you're shipping your car to a recycler or a dismantler. Because of the shift in the market for spare metal and other components, the cost of scrap cars in 2023 is significantly different from what it was years ago. Thankfully, junkyards' methods for determining the worth of abandoned cars have not changed.
Your payment will be determined by how many tons your car, van, truck, or SUV weighs. Therefore, you should budget more money for a heavier car.
How Much Are Cars Worth To Scrap Yards?
Deals are typically based on whole car scrap prices at junkyards. On the other hand, depending on demand, a salvage yard might pay for individual parts. To choose the best financial option for you, quotes for both options are available at various yards.
The cost of a scrap car may vary in your area from that of the next town over or even from one junkyard in the same town to another. It will therefore be necessary for you to visit several yards and get estimates before you can determine the exact amount they are willing to pay.
FAQS:
What Is The Value Of A Scrap Car Per Ton?
The junkyard and the current metal prices will determine the current scrap car prices, just like they do for all other kinds of cars.
Rather than charging per pound for scrap cars, most junkyards measure their junk cars in tons. This is due to the fact that cars, even the smallest ones, have a weight of one ton or more. They'll estimate you based on this weight.
How Much Can You Get for Scrap Metal in a Big Van?
Vans often fetch substantially higher junkyard scrap prices than sedans and other small cars. It's difficult to know for sure how much you can get for a van, but you can get a rough idea by multiplying the weight by the going rate for metal.
What is the amount I can get when I scrap my truck?
Because there are so many different types of trucks available, prices for scrap trucks can differ. Furthermore, trucks come in a variety of sizes, from compact to heavy-duty, and as a result, their weights vary greatly. So, the only way to find out how much you can get for scrapping yours is to weigh it when you visit a junkyard. | eng | 0bd471d9-f79e-42b4-ad95-2be1ad1c6a5c | https://wescrapcar.com/blog/quickly-scrap-your-car-for-cash-in-oman |
One of the most common words thrown into our vocabularies as we grow up is 'credit score' and it is very important to know how it may impact your financial planning. Before we move forward to understand how taking a personal loan can directly impact your credit score, you should know what it is how it is calculated.
What is Credit Score?
In easy terms, a credit score is a three-digit number that represents the probability of you
paying back your loan / bills on time. There are various different scores and algorithms to
calculate but they typically are between 300 and 850, with higher scores representing more
favourable credit terms. CIBIL Score is the most widely used score in India and is calculated
from the credit history found in the Credit Information Report (CIR) which is your credit
payment history gathered from different institutions and loan types.
Why is your credit score important?
If you're wondering why is credit score such a big deal, the answer is simple - Most lending
institutions in the formal sector will consider your credit score before sanctioning a loan to
you, whether it is a bank, a credit card company or a car dealership. Hence, those with
higher credit scores have more probability of being sanctioned a loan and with more
favorable credit terms. However, with FastALoan, you do not have to worry about how high
your credit score is or whether it even exists to be able to receive a loan. We believe that
each individual should have access to small cash to get through financial emergencies, and
our operating model lives up to this philosophy.
Before diving in for that personal loan, you should know how it will impact your credit score.
Having a good credit score is the modern-day equivalent of having a telephone considering
our reliance on credit cards and personal loans to get through life.
How can a personal loan impact your credit score?
Now that you're familiar with all the credit score basics, let us try and understand how it can
be impacted by your personal loan. If you're worried thinking about the consequences of
taking a loan online, don't be! If you're responsible about paying back your instalments in
time, your credit score can even improve . An individual's payment history is the most critical
factor that goes into calculating their credit score and timely payments will give a positive
boost to your payment history, which will positively impact your credit score.
However, it is important to steer clear of many myths that surround the domain of credit
scores. For instance, many people believe that taking a personal loan will negatively i,pact
their credit score, which is as far from the truth as you can imagine. Many young working
professionals are now looking for ways to improve their credit score so it becomes easier for
them to take a home loan, car loan, education loan or personal loan.
Tips to improve your credit score
What people seldom know is that there are some small tips and tricks you can keep in mind if you wish to improve your credit score. We have listed down a few for you below -
(1) Don't apply to multiple vendors - Each time you get rejected for a personal loan, your
credit score dips and so does your chance of receiving a loan. Do your research and
apply to only those places where you know you are eligible and the finances will suit
you.
(2) Choose a personal loan amount that doesn't make you nervous - Make sure you're
getting a loan sanctioned only for an amount that you can easily pay off.
(3) Calculate the EMI:NMI ratio : After you know the EMI instalments, you should do a
quick calculation to ensure that the EMI amount is not more than 40-50% of your net
monthly income. | eng | 4b66637b-3516-4537-9f58-1c253467ae58 | http://fastaloan.com/blog/1 |
To really understand what life was like years ago, history must go beyond words on a page. Recipes must be cooked, games must be played, historical art must be examined, and crafts must be done. Each day there is an activity that brings history to life.
What's Inside
The first part of the lesson is for 1st to 2nd grade. These lessons are broken shorter paragraphs and simpler terms for young learners.
The second part repeats the same lesson but with more detail for the 3rd to 6th grader. These lessons have more detail, more in depth information for slightly older learners.
Each lesson is accompanied by paintings or images, some labeled, to help tell the story.
Following the lesson text there are review questions to recap what was learned. It's a very short portion with only a few questions for example 4 or 5. Answers are in the back of each book.
After that there are activities to go with each lesson. Such as….
To give your child some writing practice there may be a Writing essay portionafter each lesson. There are an average of two questions in this section. The writings are things like, "Pretend you are so and so in the year 18bladeyblah. What would you do if?" This can really help spark your child's imagination.
Vintage crafts projectssuch as, make vintage paper, make a stamp from food, create a hornbook, and more.
There is also Taste Some History projects where you can make biscuits, cakes, soups, and such.
Listen to Some History famous speeches and readings from history.
Sing Some Historyfeaturing popular songs from certain eras.
Some other things that may included with each lesson is a simple Geography lesson.
And then there may reading recommendations for going further and a memory scripture verse for each week's lesson. Did I mention that I love how Amy incorporates God's Word into the lessons?
The lessons run from 30 minutes to an hour depending upon the activities.
How We Used It
Learning about the original Americans was particularly fascinating for The Sweet Peanut and opened up the forum to discuss our own Native American ancestry and the many names of cities, bodies of water, streets, parks and more named for individual Native Americans in our history.
One of our projects was to seek out all the landmarks, cities, streets, etc, with Native American Names.
Mommy used to live in Seattle (Chief Seattle).
We buy Tilamook Cheese (An Indian word meaning "land of many waters.")
We love produce from Yakima (named for the Yakama peoples)
And apples from Wenatchee (named for the Wenatchi Indian tribe)
My grandmother has long dark hair inherited from her Native American grandmother.
Daddy used to live in Tacoma ( name after the nearby Mount Rainier, originally called Mount Tahoma)
Many of the foods we enjoy we introduced to us by the People of North America (
and much more…
While we were driving through our beautiful country Peanut and tried to imagine what it would be like back then, living on the land, walking the through beautiful wilderness. We have some lovely mountains and trees here in the Pacific Northwest and it's easy to imagine yourself in another time when driving through the countryside.
Following this lesson the craft was to make a canoe and a teepee but since we already made both of these projects in earlier grades we are searching for ways to make a bow and arrow which we also learned a little bit about in lesson 1.
After going through Lesson 1 since we had been studying the life and times of George Washington and also The Constitution, the Bill of Rights and expansion into the American West we moved further into the curriculum to The Formation of the Union and The Period of National Development.
As you know (0r maybe not) the Sweet Peanut is in the third grade. It seems this is the year to introduce how our country and laws were created so making sure those aspects of our history are understandable but interesting for a young 8 to 9 year old is key.
We used the Listen to Some History to hear
Declaration of Independence, 1776
The Constitution, September 17, 1787
Bill of Rights, ratified December 15, 1791
I'm telling you I learned a lot in this section. Peanut too.
Peanut is a visual and aural learner so after reading the lessons out loud we would talk about the included graphics while I went over the lesson. Next, if we had any, we would listen to the excerpts that went with the lesson and then look up more information or pictures. The Sweet Peanut always has a bunch of questions that go beyond the lesson so we make lists to checkout books from the library or research more items if necessary.
Somethings we did not use.
We didn't use the skits (yet). There is also an optional Coloring book you can purchase to go with the curriculum.
I clearly remember not learning, very well, about American History all my years in school (okay to be fair we did live overseas for a bit of my childhood).
Digital Heroes & Heroines of the Past: American History Curriculum may be called "Heroes and Heroines" but it is much more than that. The well rounded introduction and study of the founding and creation of America is told in a story like manner so that children can grasp what is being taught. The addition of crafts and activities makes it come alive.
If you're looking for a good American History Curriculum I think you'll enjoy this one. Be prepared to not only learn with your children but look at your country with new eyes | eng | e3c5dd6c-2504-4fcf-bdad-a20750e89e99 | https://www.homemakingorganized.com/homeschool-2/homeschool-reviews/digital-heroes-heroines-schoolhouse-review-crew/ |
Not defending the aw system, but statistically you probably had better odds of getting a gun you wanted in Aw, like, if you wanted the stg, any variant of it unlocked it, blops3 was the worst possible one
This so much. How anyone could call the A.W. worse than B.O. III is beyond me. I managed to get almost every single weapon in Advanced Warfare. I played B.O. III even more and never even came close to getting every post-launch weapon.
Yea, I honestly think they put in TOO much work into the grips in the game. There are way to many grips for how important they are. I do like that they put the effort in, but the grips don't really matter.
I know very few people played the last COD but in that game you would instantly unlock dlc weapons if you had the season pass and have to complete a challenge to unlock it if you didn't have the season pass. So there is still hope.
If IW hasn't sold enough, they should have milked the fanbase BO3-style to compensate for lower sales. There were some CP-only bundles, but most of them were with keys and favoured the player (guaranteed epics, dupe protected sds and such).
BO3 was the best selling advanced movement CoD, yet they shat all over us with 40+ supply drop only weapons, 20 of them being fucking reskins.
Must be, I understand all the hate on EA right now but this game launched with 1 melee weapon, and 3 pistols... years in development spent on what? Ain't the damn weapons, guar-en-fucking-te it wasn't for the maps.
Bet we'll have to buy these weapons that were obviously cut from the launch.
Worst part is seeing all this excitement.
SHG and Activision are going in dry; "2xp", 9 maps + 3 locked on disc, so so so so many bugs and errors and now what looks like more nickel & diming players.
... and people are smiling. Thta's why we can't have nice thing
although they were common, literally every gun was viable to use, and at range at that.
the smaller maps, in recent games, have introduced wet noodle cannons (spaghetti straps, if you will), and airsoft guns, and the damage drop off for most guns is ridiculous. as of recent cod games ship with like 4 guns of 15 or w.e. that are good and viable to use/make up 80% of peoples classes. mw3 I maxed all guns multiple times, and had fun doing it.
I shoot someone twice and they die, but I shoot a rocket half a foot away and it doesn't even hurt them.
I think it's because you get to a certain point where there's so many weapons that they start feeling too similar, or some being way worse to use than others, or the other way around (looking at you, MP7)
If these guns become too op and mp turns into pay to win I think I'll be done with it for good. Lootcrates shouldn't determine how well you do in game, gaming is slowly becoming something that I don't enjoy like I used to.
I'm so happy sledgehammer spent time on making 16 microtransaction guns with over 30 variants to go along with them instead of fixing the known issues before launch/after the beta.
Shitty ass dev company, you too activision.
Not defending their slow response time to fixing game breaking bugs but the gun making team (The art team) isn't going to have anything to do with menus breaking, servers etc. They may have something to do with maps but that is also more likely another team too.
Pretty much any gaming subreddit believes that any entire studio only focuses on one thing at a time. People don't seem to realize that there are teams for different parts of the game, like asset design, art and network. But it doesn't matter because most people on reddit don't care.
"Cosmetic only". Lmao who believed that shit. As soon as I saw how few guns were in the game (especially with the Gewer and a lot of Japanese guns missing) I knew it was a matter of time. I hope he was telling the truth and that they give us the base variant but I doubt it. So slick with their wording to say weapon variants and gear variants.
This is the problem; people don't read their statements properly and only see what they want to see. Like you say it's very slick wording. They made no mention of not putting NEW weapons in Supply Drops.
I absolutely hate to be that guy defending this, because I despise what they're doing, but he doesn't say anywhere there won't be NEW weapons in Supply Drops. Just that the VARIANTS of these launch guns aren't stat changing. See how it's worded perfectly.
He also made a statement on twitter in regards to weapons and made it a point to say there were no weapons in Supply Drops AT LAUNCH. So, technically, everything he's said is true.
Honestly though, If you really didn't think there would be new weapons in the loot crates you have been living under a rock for 3 years or are just REALLY naive.
We've known for months that guns would be coming in supply drops. It was in the coding. And Condrey clearly was talking about the variants in supply drops, not new weapons. Lots of people want to say "CONDREY LIED TO US", but the truth is that they just lied to themselves. If you choose to take a statement the wrong way, then get upset when it's not the way you took it, that's on you.
it wouldn't do anything to the tanks though. the PTRS didn't have enough kenetic force to pen anything over 50MM of frontal armor. that's not even enough to pen an very early M4 Sherman. shit the only thing those things can pen is the early German panzers, and maybe the rear of an M4 Sherman if it gets lucky.
their is a reason Anti-material rifles until the introduction to the beret 50.cal were completely shelved. they in practice don't really work.
And people downvoted and commented on my post a few days ago saying that guns may not come to crates. I mean, really, how gullible can some of you be? There is so much content cut out of these games now, yet this community rolls over for daddy Activision for literally no reason. When is enough, enough?
I mean really, 9 maps on launch? A single melee weapon and only three pistols? Do people really think they just forgot to make more? They're trying to sell us more shit, it's not a secret, it's just never been done on this level before with Call of Duty.
Here's my thinking (hoping), they said supply drops will be cosmetic only, so I hope they give us the base variants, either behind challenges or for free, and put the variants in supply drops. Here's to hoping.
You are not going to get away with this Activision. Please can we boycott them like the Battlefront community did to EA? This is 16 weapons that were supposed to be in the main game and yeah some of them are in campaign so this means they took em out of the main game and put them into supply drops. Like I said you will not get away with this.
I'm still hoping they add an ironsight-default MAS 36. Kind of surprising they're adding all these Japanese weapons (the Type 4/5 was just an unissued prototype Garand clone damn it!) and they haven't yet added a single French weapon. Although now that the Beretta 38 and Breda 30 will be added, maybe we'll eventually see the rest of the CoD 2: BRO lineup.
So these are indeed confirmed via datamined or something? Is it too soon to say that there would be only cosmetic only supply drops, not weapons in there game? Interested to see if they give the season pass owners the base variants and the people who don't challenges to get them or if it's going to be like AW all over again smh but I am glad to see some Japanese and Italian weaponry as it's been non-existent for a WWII game. Loving the Gewehr variant with another Treyarch nod with the 935 on the side, that's cool. Now if only they'll add the variant you get from a side Easter egg for the PPSH-41 in zombies called "The Classic" which is sick and another nod to Treyarch from sledgehammer. Hope its coming to multiplayer as well
Weapon supply drops and legendary supply drops... could we get these from major Howard's challenges? If we could, it could be actually be a fair way to get these new guns. I'm hoping introduction of supply drop weapons will be done in a fair way. No cod has done that yet, it's always been bullshit. Even MWR. Although it was the best system, it was still a ridiculous grind to get any gun. Man they better get this right...
Where is the tweet or proof where Michael "SJW" Condrey said that they will not be weapon variants only cosmetic. Can't wait for all the CODCocksuckers to upload videos opening supply drops unless the whole community joins like the SWBII community.
Nah fuck this. C'mon people, if these weapons are supply drop only then we really need to say something. The fans of battlefront II stood up against this shit and so should we. We will not be taken advantage of any longer. If it worked for them then it'll work for us. We can't be afraid to stand up against greed.
MG81? Are you shitting me? Why do they keep adding aircraft guns instead of the MG34, the single most produced German machine gun and the gun that literally all German squad tactics were based around? SHG has the worst research/advisory team.
This microtransaction BS is so unbelievably sad, and it's really sucking the fun out of this game. Not even that it's there, but the fact that we have regressed to this rip off system. If you told me during Black Ops II that in a few years the game developers could get away with locking the same amount of content as before behind a paywall that you have a fuckall chance of getting, I'd have though you were insane. And the way they put in the useless items like melees and pistol grips just adds insult to injury. I really hope this game works like IW where everybody can access this, but I have no reason to hold onto that, and more importantly I wish we actually had the power to put an end to this practice.
Remember when you could just play the game by just purchasing it? Now you buy it, have to add on a "season pass" to play all of the maps, then either have to pay for the weapons or "get lucky" (which i have not for every cod featuring supply drops...coincidence...) just to get on an even playing field with everyone else | eng | 0bb59c56-21f2-4854-9a9a-e2b3585b5609 | https://www.reddit.com/r/WWII/comments/7e5hfs/call_of_duty_wwii_new_weapon_pics_information/ |

Hiker's essential medicine kit
A hiking trip can do wonders for the mind and body — but tread carefully. Hikes can be remote and physically challenging, and you can fall ill even when you're fit.
Whether you're doing a day walk in rainforest, trekking a long desert track or scaling the heights of the Himalayas, packing the right advice and a suitable medicine kit is the key to staying well.
Check before you trek
While age and ongoing medical conditions like diabetes needn't stop many travellers from hiking, Dr Philippa Binns, clinical adviser at NPS MedicineWise, says it's still important to talk to your doctor first.
"You 05/need to gradually build up your fitness over a few weeks, or months, before you can hike", says Dr Binns.
Your doctor can advise what vaccinations you need, and if any changes to managing your conditions are necessary.
"Changes in physical activity, climate, or seasons can affect some medical conditions. For instance, hiking in cold dry environments, or when pollen counts are high, 05/trigger asthma attacks for some people".
Your doctor or travel health clinic can help tailor a medicine kit for your trip. As well as your usual medicines, here are some other items you 05/need to pack.
Dressings and bandages
Some of the most common problems for hikers are blisters, cuts and grazes. Look after them carefully to help healing and reduce infection.
Wear comfortable well-fitting shoes to protect your feet from injury. Check your feet daily for cuts, blisters or grazes, especially if you have diabetes or circulation problems. You can also attend to "hot spots" by using a blister prevention product that provides padding or acts like a second skin.
Cover injuries with sticky dressings (e.g. bandaids) or gauze dressings, and pack some bandages or tape to secure them. For burst blisters leave the broken skin intact, press gently to remove fluid, and cover with a sterile dressing.
Soft padded dressings are useful for painful blisters, or where blisters 05/burst such as the soles of your feet.
Altitude sickness tablets
If you hike above 2500 metres you 05/get altitude sickness, even if you're fit and haven't experienced it before.
Altitude sickness mostly causes headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, or difficulty sleeping. It can be severe and life-threatening if it causes fluid to collect in the brain or lungs. Let your body adapt to less oxygen by increasing altitude very gradually (including rest days).
Acetazolamide tablets can also help prevent and treat symptoms. You 05/be advised to take them if you've had severe altitude sickness before, your hike is particularly risky, or you're flying from sea level to above 3000 metres.
Sunscreen and eye protection
Sunburn is another risk, especially at altitude where UV rays are more intense. UV rays reflecting off snow increase your chance of sunburn and eye problems, including snow blindness or future cataracts.
Pack a broad spectrum sunscreen with a high sun protection factor (at least SPF 30). Apply daily and reapply according to directions. Wear close-fitting wrap-around sunglasses (meeting Australian Standard AS1067) or snow goggles, even on cloudy and hazy days.
Insect repellent and mosquito nets
Malaria is one of the most serious infectious diseases for hikers in tropical destinations. Antimalarial medicines are usually advised, but avoiding mosquito bites is crucial to prevent malaria and other diseases like dengue fever.Pack an insect repellent containing at least 30% diethyltoluamide (DEET). Mosquito nets and pale long sleeves and loose pants soaked in insecticide (permethrin) are useful, especially between dusk and dawn, and while you sleep.
Diarrhoea treatments
Traveller's diarrhoea is very common, especially if you're drinking water from untreated tanks or streams. Diarrhoea can cause severe dehydration. Drink clear fluids like water and restore lost fluid with oral rehydration solutions (such as Gastrolyte). They're worth packing especially if you're hiking with kids (they can dehydrate much more quickly).
Adults can take an antidiarrhoeal medicine like loperamide (brands include Imodium) in case you need to stop diarrhoea for a short time. Don't take these medicines if diarrhoea is severe as they can stop clearing out what's causing it and make it worse.
If your kit includes antibiotics for certain situations of persistent or severe diarrhoea, ensure you take them exactly as prescribed — and never use them to treat another person's illness.
Pain reliever medicines
Hiking ailments such as sprains and strains, altitude sickness, colds and chest infections often cause headache, pain or fever.
For these situations pack an over-the-counter pain reliever like paracetamol (e.g. Panadol) or ibuprofen (e.g. Nurofen). Ask your doctor or pharmacist which medicine is most suitable for you.
If you need a pain reliever, ensure you take it safely and effectively by following the instructions on the label or packaging or given by your health professional.
Insulated pouch or bag
Temperature extremes 05/make it difficult to control the storage conditions for your medicine kit.
"Most medicines need to be stored under 25°C away from direct heat, moisture and sunlight. If you're hiking in a very warm or humid environment, you might need to use a cooler bag, esky or insulated pouch to protect your medicines," says Dr Binns 1300 633 424 ).

How to Hold a Camera Properly
How to Hold a Camera
While it's important to hold your camera in a way that feels natural to you, it's also JUST AS IMPORTANT to hold the camera in a way that will prevent blur and unsharp images due to camera shake.
Here are a few tips to help you properly and securely hold your camera when shooting with a tripod is NOT an option:
1. Brace Your Arms Against Your Torso
When taking photos from a standing position, brace your arms against your torso to help keep your camera steady. If your arms are splayed out to either side of you, you will be giving the camera a lot less support.
To support the front of your camera, place your hand underneath the lens. Placing your hand on top of the camera not only takes away support, but you can sometimes accidentally push the camera, resulting in blur due to camera shake.
Be sure to stand up as straight as possible. Relax your neck and shoulders and take deep breaths between shots to avoid tensing up. You may also find it helpful to hold your breath when pressing the shutter.
2. Brace Your Arms Against Your Legs
When shooting at a lower angle, try bracing your arms against your legs rather than bending over at the waist, or even get down on the ground to provide maximum stability.
If you bend at the waist, you will have less control of your balance, but if you get into a slightly different body position, you will have the same angle of view but will be less likely to have a blurry photo as a result of camera shake.
If you have good knees and decent balance, you can try positioning the back of your upper arms on your knees when squatting down. This is a relatively easy position to get in and out of quickly.
If you are like me and have bad knees (hello, knee surgery...I know you well) and cannot squat down and stand back up quickly and with ease, then try sitting with your elbows resting on your knees:
3. Lean on Something
Just because you don't have a tripod doesn't mean your images will be blurry! Finding something to lean against will really help you steady yourself by supporting your arms, torso, and hips. Anything sturdy enough to support your leaning body weight, like a tree, wall, doorway, etc., will work well.
Conclusion
How you hold your camera can make a big difference in the sharpness of your photos. Each of these methods can prevent blur and create maximum stability, so use them to ensure your next images are as sharp as possible.

Their overlapping symptoms, and similarity with common cold cause delay in the diagnosis and hence timely and proper management.
RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS (RSV)
It is a virus affecting air passages and lungs. It is a common viral infection that mostly affects young children. Older children and adults may also be infected with RSV.
How does it spreads?
It is a contagious infectious disease, that is easily spread from person to person.
The virus is carried via respiratory droplet. A person can contract the respiratory syncytial virus through their mouth, nose, or eyes, when an infection person coughs or sneezes close to you. The virus can also spread by direct touch, such as hand-to-hand contact, on hard surfaces like toys, crib rails, and countertops, the virus can live for hours. After contacting a contaminated object, if you touch your lips, nose, or eyes, you are likely to pick up the virus. An individual remains infectious from the start of the symptoms to up to 10 days of illness.
Sign and symptoms:
The virus affects our breathing passages, which start from the nose, throat, air passages (bronchioles) and down to the lungs. Symptoms are usually mild including: Coughing, Runny nose, sneezing and wheezing (abnormal breathing sounds. Some general signs like fever, loss of appetite and irritability.
In severe cases, air passages in the lung get severely inflamed leading to fast/rapid breathing, nasal flaring, purses lip, bluish discoloration of skin which is a sign of low oxygen supply to the tissues.
High risk group developing severe infection: newborns particularly premature infants, older adults, those with heart and lung disease, or those with weakened immune systems, are susceptible to severe infection from RSV.
Children older than 5 years and adults may not have any symptoms of RSV, or they'll have very mild symptoms. If a child or adult does get symptoms of RSV, they're similar to symptoms of the common cold and include: Runny nose, Congestion, Mild headache, Sore throat, Cough, Fatigue and Fever.
Diagnosis:
A detailed medical history and examinations helps in making the diagnosis. Nasal swab for PCR confirms the diagnosis.
TREATMENT
RSV usually goes away on its own within one to two weeks. Milder symptoms can be treated at home with antipyretics (medicine for fever like acetaminophen or ibuprofen), drinking fluids to stay hydrated and eating regularly even if you have a low appetite, applying saline nasal drops to loosen mucus in your nose and getting plenty of rest.
For severe RSV one should immediate attention from a health care provider, as it may require hospitalization.
Antibiotics aren't a treatment option for viral infections like RSV, unless a superimposed bacterial infection is suspected. In such it will be a decision of your health care provider for choosing appropriate antibiotic | eng | 42c41153-420b-4400-9732-014520344aa4 | https://lung-specialist-karachi.com/916-2/ |
Cortinarius camphoratus
What You Should Know
Cortinarius camphoratus is an agaric fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. It is characterized by pale blue lilac colors when young, and a strong distinctive odor. The fungus is found in Europe and North America, where its fruit bodies (mushrooms) grow on the ground in a mycorrhizal association with spruce and firs in coniferous forests. Sources disagree as to the edibility of the mushroom, but they are generally not recommended for eating.
The convex cap is buff with a hint of lavender and is covered with matted fibers. The cortina, or partial veil, is white. The inrolled margin unfurls as the cap expands with age. The gills are initially pale lavender but become rust-brown as the spores mature. The solid fibrous stem is concolorous with the cap and is typically wider toward the base.
Cortinarius camphoratus is found in Europe and North America, where it grows in a mycorrhizal association with conifers, including firs but especially with spruce. Mushrooms are found on the ground growing singly, scattered, or in groups, usually between September and October.
Cortinarius camphoratus Mushroom Identification
Cap
Young caps are convex with an inrolled margin, later flattening as they expand but often retaining a shallow umbo. The cap diameter varies from 4 to 10cm at maturity.
At first, a beautiful pale ochre flushed with lilac, the cap surface is finely fibrillose; the cap center turns golden ochre and becomes more smooth and shiny with age. The flesh of the cap and of the stem is a beautiful lilac or pale purple color.
Gills
The adnate gills are pale lilac at first, turning rusty brown as the spores mature.
Stem
5-10com long and 1-2cm in diameter, the stem of the Goatcheese Webcap is the same color as the cap; it is covered with fine longitudinal fibrils below the ring zone, which becomes more evident with age as it gathers a fine dusting of falling rust-brown spores. The stem is solid, not hollow.
Spores
Ellipsoidal, finely warty; 9-11 by 5-6μm.
Spore Print
Rusty brown.
Odor and Taste
The odor reminiscent of camphor, mature goat's cheese, rotting potatoes or (some people say) sweaty feet. Taste is not significant.
Habitat & Ecological Role
Often on acid soil, in coniferous woodland, where it is mycorrhizal with spruces (Picea species) and firs (Abies species).
Cortinarius camphoratus Look-Alikes
Has a dark violet cap, gills, and stem, and its flesh is a much deeper violet throughout.
Cortinarius tasmacamphoratus
It has a somewhat duller fruit body color and gills that turn brown with age. Found in Tasmania, Australia.
Cortinarius camphoratus Taxonomy and Etymology
When in 1821 the great Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries described this webcap mushroom in his Systema Mycologicum he gave it the scientific name Cortinarius camphoratus; this was the name sanctioned via his Epicrisis Systematis Mycologici: seu synopsis hymenomycetum of 1838 camphoratus refers to a camphor-like odor, and to those of us of 'a certain age' that suggests the smell of mothballs; however, with extensive use of synthetic fibers clothes moths are not such a problem nowadays, and not everyone recognizes the smell of camphor (despite its many other uses in medicine, fireworks, etc).
The common name adopted in the British Mycological Society's English Names of Fungi refers to the somewhat similar odor of cheese made with goat's milk.

Early Sport Specialization
Early sports specialization is a hot topic in today's health/fitness world. Have you ever wondered what age your kid should start playing sports? When should my kid focus on one sport? These are the questions that our Made 2 Move team sought out to answer. We hope you enjoy what we found!
15 years old. This was the ageMicheal Jordan tried out for his high school basketball team and did not make it. At that same age, the famed Chelsea soccer player Didier Drogba, seriously picked up the sport of soccer. 15 years old was also the age that NBA star Hakeem "The Dream" Olajuwon was when he dialed into the sport of basketball. None of these athletes started playing their sports as toddlers and yet, all of them still went on to play professionally. What do the early athletic backgrounds of these sports legends tell us? Their stories show us that it is possible, and even perhaps optimal in regards to injury and burnout, to avoid early sports specialization. Rather, kids may reap greater athletic benefits if they spend those early years experimenting in multiple sports.
What is Early Sports Specialization?
Early Sports Specialization can be defined as " intense, year-round training in a single sport with the exclusion of other sports'' (Jayanthi et. al 2013). Early sports specialization typically begins in early elementary aged children with a focus on intense training in one sport, but it is important to consider this definition as a sort of continuum with various training volumes and beginning ages amongst youth athletes. | eng | 54a01fd3-49be-4f3e-aa2d-afa21c6feece | https://www.made2movept.com/post/early-sport-specialization |

It is often desirable to restrict flows—whether of sound, electricity, or heat—to one direction, but naturally occurring systems almost never allow this. However, unidirectional flow can indeed be engineered under certain conditions, and the resulting systems are said to exhibit chiral behavior.
The concept of chirality is traditionally limited to single direction flows in one dimension. In 2021, however, researchers working with Taylor Hughes, a professor of physics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, introduced a theoretical extension that can account for more intricate chiral flows in two dimensions.
Now, a team led by Hughes and Gaurav Bahl, a UIUC professor of mechanical science & engineering, has experimentally realized this extension. As the researchers reported in Nature Communications, they constructed a topological circuit network, a system of electronics that simulates the microscopic behavior of quantum materials, to explore the entirely new behaviors predicted by this extended, or higher-rank chirality. | eng | f33516b6-a717-4a70-968b-7c77164916e3 | https://russian.lifeboat.com/blog/2023/05/a-new-twist-on-chirality-researchers-extend-the-concept-of-directionality-and-propose-a-new-class-of-materials |

Additionally, maintaining strong relationships with key clients and providing exceptional customer service can encourage them to recommend the business to their network, further expanding the customer base.
6. Automating Business Processes: As an Ampoule Examiner, one strategy to improve efficiency and reduce errors is to automate certain business processes. This could involve implementing barcode scanning systems to track ampoules throughout the production and inspection process, using automated data analysis tools to identify trends and patterns, or utilizing robotics for repetitive tasks. By automating these processes, the business can save time, minimize human error, and increase overall productivity.
7. Daily Tasks that can be Outsourced: To optimize the Ampoule Examiner's workload and focus on core responsibilities, certain daily tasks can be outsourced. This could include administrative tasks such as data entry, report generation, or scheduling. By outsourcing these tasks to specialized service providers or utilizing technology solutions, the Ampoule Examiner can free up time to concentrate on critical tasks such as inspection, quality control, and process improvement, ultimately contributing to the business's success
Ampoule Examiner AI Prompts & Strategies
Want to get started using AI in your Ampoule Examiner work? We've compiled ways that you can use AI and the AI prompts that you can use in your Ampoule Examiner work.
Ampoule Examiner is responsible for inspecting and examining ampoules in the manufacturing industry. Here are five ways they can utilize AI in their daily work:
1. Automated defect detection: AI can be used to develop computer vision algorithms that can automatically detect defects in ampoules. By training the AI model with a large dataset of images, the examiner can use the AI tool to quickly identify any abnormalities or flaws in the ampoules, saving time and improving accuracy.
2. Quality control optimization: AI can help optimize the quality control process by analyzing historical data and identifying patterns that lead to defects. By leveraging machine learning algorithms, the examiner can gain insights into the root causes of defects and take preventive measures to improve the overall quality of ampoules.
3. Predictive maintenance: AI can be used to predict when a machine used in the manufacturing process might fail or require maintenance. By analyzing sensor data and historical maintenance records, the examiner can proactively schedule maintenance activities, reducing downtime and improving efficiency.
4. Process optimization: AI can analyze data from various stages of the manufacturing process to identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, or areas for improvement. By using AI tools, the examiner can gain insights into how to optimize the production process, reduce waste, and increase productivity.
5. Data analysis and reporting: AI can assist in analyzing large amounts of data collected during the manufacturing process. The examiner can use AI tools to extract meaningful insights, generate reports, and visualize data trends, enabling better decision-making and facilitating communication with other stakeholders.

Tag: gender-based violence
By Guest Writer Shagnik Mukherjea
Image by the EU Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid
In April 2023, the Sixth Committee of the United Nations initiated a two-year process to deliberate and negotiate the draft articles on the prevention and punishment of crimes against humanity. At the forefront of the multitude of issues being tackled by the International Law Commission (ILC) and numerous States are gender-based issues, with a particular emphasis on reinforcing legal obligations and ensuring safeguards for victims of sex and gender-based violence.
Over the past few decades, significant strides have been made in achieving justice for gender-based crimes. However, most of these legal frameworks have required incorporating gender-specific concerns into existing structures that were not originally designed to address these issues. For instance, the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) investigated and prosecuted individuals for wartime sexual violence, considering rape and sexual enslavement as crimes against humanity in the Kunarac et al. Case. Furthermore, the Furundžija Case emphasized that instances...

This January, an eight-year-old girl hailing from a minority shepherding family in India was abducted, gang raped and brutally murdered in the Kathua region of Jammu and Kashmir. In the subsequent months, the incident generated polarized reactions in India and around the world, with public outcry juxtaposed against the response from individuals in authority and alleged politicization of rape owing to the victim's minority status. The ensuing public discourse has placed the ruling dispensation headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi under intense scrutiny, particularly in relation to the government's stance and policies regarding child rape.
In April 2018, the Criminal Law Amendment Ordinance, 2018 was promulgated. The said ordinance brought in several changes to the existing legal framework pertaining to child rape in India, the most significant being the imposition of the death penalty as punishment for rape of a girl below the age of twelve years. The move, while hailed by...

Individuals fortunate enough to have survived traumatic events are commonly referred to as "resilient." In fact, a resilience framework/agenda has become part of commonly-accepted humanitarian and human rights language and programming. But what does this framework, which attempts to foster resiliency among trauma survivors, actually accomplish? This is the question I have spent the past year attempting to answer. My paper titled "Genealogy of Resilience: Women's Resiliency to Conflict-Related Sexual Violence" was recently chosen as a winner of the 2017 Human Rights Essay Contest through the Institute for the Study of Human Rights.
The application of the term "resilient" to women who have experienced gender-based violence, either locally or globally, remains unclear. What is more evident is that linkages can be drawn between the usage of resilience theory and the popularization of describing women as "survivors." Referring to women who have survived gender-based trauma as "resilient" pays homage to the extreme emotional... | eng | ba2ba8c9-a3a9-4c1c-b265-254e48bd040e | https://blogs.cuit.columbia.edu/rightsviews/tag/gender-based-violence/ |

Maybe. The logo on the back is different because they had to work in a city that was split in the middle. Any info you've got would be appreciated.
I was about 7 years old when we went back and visited Germany. (I was born there). We still had relatives on the east side. My mother and I were not allowed off the train as we had American passports but, my grandmother was still a German citizen and was allowed to meet her family, briefly in East Germany.
I swear, you could feel the change as we crossed the border into East Germany. Colors were subdued.Sounds were muted. It felt oppressive. You could actually feel it View attachment 97805
In the former "DDR", GDR in English, the " Kriminalpolizei (KRIPO)", Criminal Police in English, belonged to the "Volkspolizei (VOPO)", People's Police in English, and had nothing to do with the secret police, called "Staatssicherheit (STASI)", State Security in EnglishThere is one hint that PPK is a abbreviation: In Walther's own pre-far factory publications we can read sometimes "P.P.K." which seems to be more than just a model code like "PPK" could be and for example "PPX" really is. I agree completely that the term "Kriminalmodell" was the gun's common name used often in the mentioned literature. But reading the slide's inscription "Mod. PPK" leads me conclusively to "Modell Polizeipistole Kriminal" instead of "Modell Polizeipistole Kriminalmodell" whith the full common name. The repetition of "Modell" sounds terrible in my earsIndeed. The numbers 1 through 8 were assigned to the districts making up East Germany and issued to the Vopo-Kripo in 1950. Number 1 was (East)-Berlin.
The back said "Volkspolizei der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik". For the Berlin discs, that became an immediate issue as East Berlin under Four-Power status was not legally part of the "German Democratic Republic".
I don't know who complained, but the 1 discs were immediately withdrawn and replaced by the 9 discs like yours, which just said "Deutsche Volkspolizei" on the backI've always liked the explanation that they attached the K to the back rather than the front (KPP = Kriminalpolizeipistole) because around 1930 in Germany any abbreviation with the letter sequence KP would have triggered the wrong associations within the prospective customer circles | eng | 0cb98d4f-a0f0-4aee-b348-c26c5b1dedfe | https://www.waltherforums.com/threads/kurtz-or-kriminal.3226/ |
How can an immigration lawyer help me with my immigration case?
The United States is one the most wealthy countries in the modern world. People from other countries want to immigration and move to the United States. It doesn't matter if you agree with the process, legal moving to the US is not easy. Once you're here, it is not easy to keep your immigrant status intact and remain in the country. This is the right place to find out if you are trying to migrate to the United States or fighting deportation. You don't have to worry about what will happen in your immigration case. Instead, hire an immigration lawyer. Immigration lawyers are experienced legal professionals with extensive knowledge of immigration laws. Finding the right lawyer can make the difference in winning or losing your case.
6 ways that an immigration lawyer can help with your immigration
Deportation Cases
The threat of deportation is one the most terrifying things that an immigrant can face. A lawyer who specializes in immigration can help you keep the United States safe, regardless of whether your loved one is at risk. An individual who hires an immigration lawyer has a greater chance of staying here than one who doesn't.
Application in Green
A lawyer who specializes in immigration can help you determine if your eligibility for green cards or to apply for one. The first step towards becoming a citizen in another country is to obtain a green card. This grants you temporary citizenship. A lawyer can help you with your immigration issues.
You're looking for asylum
You can apply for asylum in the United States if you are under threat of physical harm or imprisonment. It can be difficult and confusing to complete the paperwork and navigate the many hoops that you have to jump through. A missed step or a mistake in your paperwork could lead to your case being rejected. An immigration lawyer can be invaluable in helping you navigate the process and help you gain asylum in the United States.
A Government Official Detains Someone
The fear and destruction that can result from deportation is comparable to the horrors of detention. An immigration lawyer is essential for anyone who has a loved ones being detained by the US government. An immigration lawyer can help locate the place where your loved ones are being held and help you to win their freedom.
You plan to marry a foreigner
In love, the heart will do what the heart desires. But if you want to marry someone from outside the United States of America, love may not be enough to make it through the legal procedures. Your spouse or you can apply for special visas which will make it easier to go to the United States to wed. It can be difficult to apply for these visas. An immigration lawyer will help make it less stressful and easier.
You want to be a naturalised citizen
Naturalization in the United States can be more complicated than it should be. No matter how you view the process of getting citizenship, it is not an easy one. When applying for citizenship, you will need to fill out many forms and meet eligibility requirements. It is easy to forget a step or get confused. A single mistake can result in your application being rejected and you losing citizenship.
Hiring an immigration lawyer will give you a better chance at success. Immigration case lawyers are experts in the US citizenship process and can assist you at every step. | eng | 9203200a-560c-431e-ada4-a3a7fa24aa9a | https://www.allowlaw.co.uk/immigration-lawyer/ |

Netflix recently came out with a reality TV show called "Dating Around" and if you like "The Bachelor," then you'll love this!
"Dating Around" is about six couples who go on blind dates with five different people. Each show consists of the first five dates, then the person looking for love has to pick one of those people to go out on a second date with which you don't find out until the end of the episode.
What makes this show different from "The Bachelor" series is that this seems more real, and the producer from "The Bachelor" who is now producing this show agrees 100%. "The truth is, "The Bachelor" is a fantasy show about Cinderella. "The Bachelor" isn't real. This show to me, felt like what real people do: Try to connect with others through conversation," says the ex-Bachelor producer, Alycia Rossiter.
This show captures the essence of what actually goes on during first dates, the conversations, the nerves, the accidental dialogue, the bits of awkwardness, and the filler jokes. Each date is so different which is what makes it so interesting to watch, and my favorite part is trying to guess which one of these dates went the best before the end! You'd be surprised how many times I have been wrong!
Every episode is someone with a completely different background whether it is a divorced Indian woman looking for a partner after family pressure ruined her first marriage, or an old widower just trying to find love again. This show is unique in its diversity as well as in its emphasis on the word "reality" as a reality show. Every blind date has someone with a personality varying from the other and I think that's what makes this show so interesting.
The editing is so seamless and everything flows so well, there aren't any unnecessary gaps and the show is very fast paced which makes it very EASY to binge the whole season in one sitting. It's very watchable and it almost makes you think that blind dates really aren't as bad as they might be perceived? Maybe?
This show can be appealing to everyone so if you haven't seen it, go check it out and let me know what you think.
Even though there isn't a rose ceremony at the end, it's worth the watch!
When I think of the word family, I think of the words belonging, love, forever, care, safety, acceptance. Some people may describe family as those who you share your blood with, but I think (and know) that family can and does encapsulate a lot more. Specifically, being adopted, I know that you don't have to share the same DNA with your parents or siblings to love them just like in any normal family. Out of curiosity, I turned to the internet to see how others defined family. What I found was 6 "common" family structures: nuclear family, single parent, extended family, stepfamily, childless family, and grandparent family. While these are legitimate categorizations, I believe that there are multiple subcategories within these groups that deserve their own recognition, as well as categories that exist out of the 6 "common" ones. So, what exactly defines a family? Here are 13 different ways a family can look.
1: Adoptive Family:
An adoptive family is typically where one or more of the children are adopted. However, generally speaking, if any family has an adopted family member, this can be also categorized as an adopted family.
There are, however, many different ways an adoptive family can come to be. Here are some examples:
a. Transracial adoption: when the race of the adoptive parents is different than that of the adopted child. This is the family structure I was lucky enough to be adopted into!
e. Biological family member adoption: when a family member adopts a child that is not their own within the family due to circumstances
2. Foster family
A family where one or more of the children are foster children (and therefore legally are temporary members of the household.)
3. Sperm/Egg donor family
Where a sperm or egg was donated to a couple (or person) who wished to have a child of their own but could/did not.
4. Nuclear family
The nuclear family consists of a married man and woman and their biologically related children. While this is a perfectly legitimate family structure, there exists some conservative viewpoints that the nuclear family is one of the only ways a family should look.
5. Single parent family
A family where one person is the sole parent and caretaker of his/her child(ren).
6. Divorced/separated family
In some families with divorced/separated parents, one of the parents may be out of the picture. However, in many situations, a co-custody situation will arise. I have many friends with divorced parents that have a co-custody arrangement, and I know how difficult this lifestyle can be. Many of my friends had to move from house to house every weekend throughout their childhood. In co-custody families, both the divorced parents have legal responsibility for their child(ren). This can mean that the children may alternate between which parent they live with, or live with just one and plan regular visits the other.
7. Conditionally separated family
A conditionally separated family is when one of the family members is separated from the family due to circumstances, but still are an integral, significant member of the family. Some examples of said 'circumstances' may be serving in the military, being incarcerated, hospitalization, or having a job far away.
8. Stepfamily
Where one of the parents are a step-parent. The stepfamily often overlaps with the divorced/separated family lifestyle.
9. Childless family
Families do not necessarily have to have children in order to be deemed a 'family'! There's not one way a childless family has to look (besides that no one in the family has any children, of course.)
10. Blended family
A family that typically merges extended family with immediate family. However, a more general definition would be when 2 or more previous families merge to form one big family.
There also exists 'grandparent families', which I decided to categorize under blended family. This is when the grandparent(s) live with one of their children and his/her family.
11. LGBTQ+ family
A family wherein one or more of the family members are of the LGBTQ+ community. I believe that this family dynamic is a perfectly legitimate, yet different experience, and deserves its own category and recognition.
12. Biracial or multiracial family
A family where the parents are of different heritage(s), and therefore have multi-ethnic children!
13. Immigrant family
Where one or more of the parents have immigrated into the country as an adult; their children may be immigrants as well, or may be citizens (if they were born in the country following their parent(s)'s immigration.
As you can see, there are so many different ways families can look. I know I definitely missed some, and I'm curious to discover more family structures throughout life as I meet more people. So, what does family look like to you?
Here in 2019, there is often a debate of what is acceptable to joke about and what isn't acceptable. There is a lot of controversy surrounding it, but if it is something sensible to the person that the joke is being told to, you should ask for consent. Some, however, are off-topic unless specifically given the okay by friends that are affected by it to talk about it around them. So here are 11 topics no one should really joke about.
Rape
Don't ever joke about rape, this includes false rape allegations. If someone opens up to you about it, don't joke about it because it is an awful thing and I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Your "joke" could make them hate you and possibly add to their trauma.
Abuse
Abuse can be in many different ways, physical, mental, psychological, and emotional. Don't joke about someone's abuse, it is flat out disrespectful and makes you look like a jerk. Like rape, your "joke" could add to the trauma and they'll remember it.
Terminal Illnesses
It is bad enough that someone will die because of an illness. Don't make fun of someone because they are dying, death is scary for most people and you don't want to add to the fear and pain they are going through. Also, don't make fun of children with terminal illnesses either because it makes you a bigger jerk.
Race
People didn't choose their race (unless you're like the crazy German model, if so then seek help). No race is inferior to another if anything race is another thing that makes us all unique. If some makeup companies can see that race makes unique and create shades for every skin tone with a decent formula, that would be amazing.
Religion
I get it we all don't believe in the religion and that is what makes us unique. However, it is no excuse to ridicule someone because they may not be the same religion. I understand that everyone has a different viewpoint on other religions, but please keep it to yourself. Making fun of religions is not a joke, but it is disrespect.
Mental Illnesses/Trauma/Self Harm
Don't joke about this because this can be a result of the abuse they have gone through in their lives. Don't assume everyone has to act like insane all the time either because that is not true. Everyone has their own set of symptoms based on the past and coping skills they have learned. Don't joke about because it makes you a jerk or unsympathetic to those suffering. Also, don't make fun of ant physical scars because that is just awful
Culture
Everyone comes from different countries and have different traditions. America is a melting pot full of other cultures. my thing is as long as it does not hurt anyone, it should be left alone, and should not be joked about at all because it is apart of identities of many people all over the world.
Family Situations
Most families are in untraditional situations, such as being divorced, have combined families or being raised by relatives. You don't know their stories, and it should not be fun of because some of these families spent thousands of dollars to keep their family together, it may be untraditional, but it works.
Sexual Orientation
People can't choose who they love, yes some people may not agree with it but keep your mouth shut. It is not hurting anyone (unless children that can't give consent are involved). Yes, they are "aware of the mistake they are making," which they aren't making a mistake unless they aren't following their heart. Love is love, and no one can change that.
Disabilities
Don't make fun of someone's disability because they didn't choose it. No one said, "hey I want to get hit by a drunk driver and be paralyzed for the rest of my life." No one asked to be born with disabilities either, they want to live a normal life like the rest of us. Don't pick on their obstacles, but rather celebrate their successes.
Children
They are small, they can't defend themselves because they are little, don't be mean because they learn from adults and you could damage them. Just because you hate their parents does not mean you can hate their kids (unless they do sometimes bad, but even then don't go hardcore on them). So leave the kids out of adult games (drama) unless they willingly enter into it.
One may have heard of the show "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel," especially during the last award season, as it won many high awards in television. When I finally gave it a try I automatically fell in love with the charming characters, interesting and original plot, beautiful costumes and honestly the whole show.
It's funny, interesting, and is full of beautiful clothing from the time. It also gives watchers a look into New York City and the club life of the time. I'd recommend to anyone to watch this show and enjoy the beauty of "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel."
1. The show and Mrs. Maisel makes you laugh
I mean it's a show on a woman and her journey to become a stand-up comedian, but one can never be too sure. This show has plenty of laughs, whether it's from the seriousness of Abe, the banter between Midge and Suzie, or Midge's stand up routines. There's a different kind of comedy present for everyone, making plenty of laughs throughout the two seasons.
2. The awards are numerous for the show and cast
This show swept the award season last year and has promising reviews for this coming award season. Last year it was nominated for 13 Primetime Emmy Awards and out of them won a whopping 8 awards. The show was also Nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG) for the first season and won a Peabody Award and two Golden Globes.

3. Midge doesn't put up with the sexism present, especially at the time
When one thinks of the 1950s, it easy to think of the stereotypical housewife. Midge is this wife, yet so much more. She is a woman of the time, yet speaks out about things she believes in and doesn't let people take advantage of her. Even when people think they are getting the better of her, she never lets it keep her down and make her feel less. When her husband left her and some blamed her, she stood up for herself and pointed out that just because she was a woman it was not her fault and she shouldn't get the blame. Midge also points out the disadvantages of women and how they are given to women by men to keep them less successful and pushes for successful, thriving, and slightly nontraditional women to be the norm.
4. She shows you can have hard times and still rise to the top
Being a woman in the 1950's already sets you up to have fewer advantages than most. Given this, Midge doesn't let this keep her down. When her husband leaves her she has a bit of a meltdown, but rises back up and takes care of herself by getting a job. Later, when she hits problems and barriers in her comedic road she may show discourage for a bit, but then proceeds by pushing through and showing everyone just how great she is, giving them hell for ever doubting her.
5. MISS UNGERMEYER
When I saw Suzie pop up in the show, the inner "Lizzie McGuire" loving child in me freaked out. Miss Ungermeyer is a staple of my childhood considering I watched the "Lizzie McGuire" movie 50 million times as a kid. Once I got over my internal freak-out and started to see more of the character, I realized just how different this character is. Gone is that Disney chaperone and instead is a foul-mouthed, determined, and hysterical woman who becomes Midges right-hand woman and manager on her road of stand up.
6. The families, though in the 50's are really relatable
Every family has their quirks, problems, and dynamics. This family is no different from others in that respect. They may be from the '50s, but they still each have their parts, issues, and personalities. They also show many sides that many can relate to, such as having less than enthused parents about a career, to having parents have the slight favorite child, to feeling like they just aren't quite ever on your side. Yet even with these feelings and problems they still stick together and have each others' back through it all, which is what family is.
Having divorced parents are any age is tough, and sorry to tell you, but it never gets easier. There are so many reasons why parents split and so many different outcomes. Not only does it affect the two getting a divorce, but it affects the kids so much more than one could imagine. I come from a divorced family and things aren't a cake walk. You take sides, you listen to your parent's different sides and ultimately, never understanding why it happened. You could think of all the reasons, maybe your fault, maybe how you acted, maybe how this could've stemmed even before you knew things were about to go down.
No matter the case, there are some things you should never say to a child of divorced parents. Ever.
"Are you okay?"
The question of all questions. Do I look okay to you? Is something suppose to look wrong? I'm fine, besides I have a whole new family life, but thanks for asking.
"How are your siblings taking all of this?"
Well, this could go both ways, considering if your siblings are younger or older. But if your siblings are younger, it's always tougher. They have no idea what is wrong and why mom and dad don't like in the same house. But everyone takes it differently and that's just the part that stinks.
"At least you'll have two holidays to go to!"
Y'all act like this a good thing. You're totally...wrong. I dread having to chose which house to go over first or how much time I have to spend there, how much to eat at one house so I'm not full for the next, who I'm going to see at these places, the things you have to witness, etc. It just doesn't sound like the best ride at Disneyland.
"How's your mom/dad doing?"
They are doing fine, just separated obviously. They were unhappily married, saw things differently, (so many other reasons) so now I have to deal with the aftermath. Or you answer the question as my mom/dad is blah blah, blah, or "I don't know how my mom/dad is doing, I don't talk to them. Which stems from the question of, "why?" A unwanted cycle of questions.
"Who do you live with?"
One, that's none of your business. But you can't get out of the question being asked. "I live with my dad because things are complicated, I live with my mom because of certain things that happened." It's never easy, just like a divorce isn't. | eng | 247d92ff-0244-4562-b99f-109cc67fa6b6 | https://www.theodysseyonline.com/tag/divorced |
In further discussions, she explained that her latest composition 'Every Man Cheats' is a tune to empower and encourage women to firmly stay grounded and stop making sacrifices for men who ultimately cheat on them.
"The song is to make a statement that men are prone to cheat and no matter a woman's status, beauty, or influence, men will still cheat so it's about time women came to the realization and understand that keeping a man goes beyond big boobs and big buttocks.
I've seen many women lose their lives because they went under the knife thinking that would save their marriages or relationships and I think women should rather build their inner qualities rather than focus too much on their physical,"
She advocated for women to focus on developing their inner qualities, which ultimately make them attractive and independent, not reliant on a man's validation | eng | f024de7f-7e89-4fcb-a881-0c0547b575de | https://gabsfeed.com/i-wont-ditch-music-for-marriage-wendy-shay/ |

Whether the month lasts longer than your paycheck does or a sudden emergency expense pops up, sometimes you may need a small loan for extra cash.
The good news is that there are plenty of options for small loans with bad credit. The bad news is that many of these loans are financially risky and can put you in a worse position than when you started.
That?s why you need to be strategic about getting a loan if you have bad credit | eng | 4eb43e1d-9331-4cd9-ad42-913cec49703f | https://toploansproviders.com/questions/question/how-to-get-a-small-loan-with-bad-credit/answer/3394/ |
Towards improved earthquake analysis with artificial intelligence
Worldwide, hundreds of earthquakes occur every day, and more than a million every year. However, most of them have a magnitude of 1 to 2 on the Richter scale and are so minor that they can only be detected by sensitive instruments. Only earthquakes of magnitude 4 cause noticeable vibrations, while earthquakes of magnitude 5 can cause damage to buildings. Even earthquakes of this magnitude occur more than 10,000 times each year.
Even earthquakes with a magnitude of more than 7 happen monthly. Earthquakes with a magnitude of more than 8 occur approximately once a year. The strongest earthquake ever measured was the Valdivia quake, which occurred in Chile on May 22, 1960. It had a magnitude of 9.5 and triggered a 25 metre high tsunami. In Germany, too, the earth trembles almost daily. Between January 1 and May 30, 2019, 114 earthquakes with a magnitude between 1 and 2.8 were registered.
While the earthquakes in Germany do not cause any damage, in many countries of the world earthquakes not only cost people their homes and possessions, but also their lives all too often. However, it is not always the main earthquakes that cause the most damage and are the strongest, often it is the relatively weak aftershocks that have far more catastrophic effects. Much of the damage could certainly be minimised and lives saved if these quakes could be predicted.
Neuronal network to locate the epicentre
There are essentially two types of earthquakes: tectonic and volcanic. Tectonic earthquakes are much more frequent than volcanic ones and are also much stronger. In these earthquakes, seismic waves travel through the earth, consisting mainly of compression or primary waves (P-waves) and shear or secondary waves (S-waves). The faster P-waves arrive first at a seismological station, followed by the slower S-waves. Both can be recorded in seismograms.
Despite constantly improving technology, earthquake prediction is still not completely reliable. But researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have now found a way to precisely locate earthquake centres. They use a neural network to determine the arrival time of seismic waves. In the journal Seismological Research Letters, they explain that artificial intelligence can evaluate data just as accurately as an experienced seismologist.
Support Us!
The scientists explain that it is important to precisely determine the arrival of the many earthquake waves at the seismometer station – the so-called phase input – in order to precisely localise the seismic events. Only then would it be possible to carry out further seismological evaluations. It could also be possible to predict aftershocks, which can sometimes cause more serious damage than the first quake. The precise localisation of earthquake centres would also make it possible to better distinguish physical processes underground, which in turn would enable scientists to draw conclusions about the structure of the earth's interior.
Evaluation by AI more accurate than by seismologists
The evaluation of the seismograms, the so-called picking, is traditionally done by hand. This is not only very time-consuming, a certain subjectivity of the seismologist can also affect the accuracy. However, the picking algorithms developed for automatic evaluation so far have not achieved the accuracy of manual picking by an experienced seismologist, as various physical processes influence the seismic wave field.
However, scientists at KIT's Geophysical Institute (GPI), the University of Liverpool and the University of Granada have now shown that artificial intelligence can evaluate data with the same accuracy as humans. They used a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and trained it with a relatively small data set on 411 earthquake events in northern Chile. CNN then determined the operating times of unknown P-phases and S-phases at least as accurately as an experienced seismologist when picking manually – and it was far more accurate than a classical picking algorithm.
"Our results show that artificial intelligence can significantly improve earthquake analysis – not only with large amounts of data, but also with limited data," explains Professor Andreas Rietbrock of the GPI | eng | c03b061b-2758-45e7-828b-a179356597e4 | https://innovationorigins.com/en/towards-improved-earthquake-analysis-with-artificial-intelligence/ |

Evidence Based and Individually Tailored Instruction in Behavior Analytic Schools for Children with Autism
Saturday, May 27, 2006
2:30 PM–3:50 PM
University
Area: EDC; Domain: Service Delivery
Chair: Robin A. Nuzzolo-Gomez (Fred S. Keller School)
Discussant: Katherine M. Matthews (Virginia Commonwealth University)
Abstract: When building evidence based and individually tailored instruction in behavior analytic schools for children with autism a priority of any instructional model should be staff training. The research literature shows that when school staff acquire more expertise in verbally mediated and contingency shaped teaching skills, students learn not only more, but acquire skills at faster rates. This presentation highlights three key areas of teacher training in schools. The TPRA observation tool can be used by behavior analysts when conducting staff interactions with children, decision protocol training, and numerous child driven tactics that can be implemented to ensure student progress.
Training Teachers to be Effective Pedagogues Utilizing the TPRA.
ROBIN A. NUZZOLO-GOMEZ (Fred S. Keller School)
Abstract: The Teacher Performance Rate and Accuracy Procedure (TPRA) (Greer & Ingham, 1991) is used in schools in the United States and internationally to train teachers to become more effective pedagogues. It is a tool that can be used by behavior analyst supervisors and administrators to ensure that flawless learn units are being presented and consequated to students. It can also be used to increase the rate at which teachers instruct and students respond. A step by step how-to-use presentation will be done with in situ examples.
Decision Protocol Training for Teachers.
KATHERINE M. MATTHEWS (Virginia Commonwealth University)
Abstract: Measurement is essential when instructing children. It is not enough just to measure, one must also Frequently analyze the data collected. The decision protocol training for teachers is an easy to implement procedure for those collecting data on their students' progress. The protocol instructs teachers when it is time to intervene with a change in instructional strategy via a tactic from the corpus of behavioral literature based upon trend and length of the data path. It also ensures that instructional strategies are not used for a longer length of time when they are no longer effective. A step by step how-to-use presentation will be done with in situ examples.
Using Child-Driven Tactics When Instructing Children with Autism.
EMMA HAWKINS (The Jigsaw CABAS School)
Abstract: The corpus of behavioral literature contains over 200 instructional strategies or what we will call tactics that can be applied based on the child's level of verbal behavior and instructional history. It is important that every teacher become fluent with a handful of tactics for each specific level of verbal behavior. This presentation will expose the audience with approximately 10 of these tactics that we have found to be the most commonly used tactics for students. | eng | ffc85225-c8bb-4b0e-9e17-b2302479d8d6 | https://abainternational.org/events/program-details/event-detail.aspx?&sid=28078&by=Domain |
I would like to put in a request for subsection. This is not based on P2E playtest, where intrigue heavy campaigns have not come up, but on my regular pathfinder game I ran today.
I would like a subsection under perception, after detecting creatures, for detecting spells.
This needs to go through the four ways to detect a spell. I believe these are.
1. A spellcaster using a V, S or M component can be detected casting a spell. Explain how hard this is. How much does distance effect it? What about if your normal senses cannot detect them (eg S M spell cast in darkness). Please add a reference to Conceal Spell.
2. Manifestations. How do you adjudicate if a spell has a manifestation? How does this work if your normal sense cannot detect it (eg a thrown ball of acid in complete darkness). How do you know where it comes from? Can I indentify a spell from the manifestation, and is that an action? It is worth noting some manifestations go long enough someone might wander on the scene and see them - can they work out it is a spell, or what spell it is, and if so how?
3. Being affected. e.g. If a concealed, manifest free charm person spell is cast on me, it has an effect if I fail. Do I notice this? What about if I make the saving throw? Do I know I threw off a spell? Do I know what it was supposed to do?
4. Extra sensory perception. e.g. If I have continual detect magic (which some monsters do) and someone casts a spell, presumably even a manifestation-free effect cast from concealment (or distance) on someone else it will be detected. Is there a way to stop this? (This is the place where it might be okay to mention detect levels, and things like Nondetection, maybe?
This area in P1 is a poorly defined minefield where a lot of the way to discover how the rules work was by finding the feats that said they got rid of a problem you did not know you had! This doesn't need to be a large subsection, even explicit "is up to your GM to determine" would help.
What I'd love is a section where, when my players do something crazy, I can put my head in my hands and read through the section to see what the recommendations are.
Edit: there were previous discussion on the manifestation part of this, and on how they interact with invisibility. They asked for more in general, where I'm asking four a four stage parallel to the Detecting Creatures section.
Edit2: If spells had a "Manifestation" trait for perceivable manifestations, that'd be amazing.
In order to cast Comprehend Languages, you have to hear someone talk the language. That means that in the tense first moments when you meet strangers you cannot communicate with, you cast an obvious spell - which can be taken as a hostile act, as they don't know the spell is harmless. How *do* you handle this? | eng | dab329cb-855a-4aa5-aeee-76fc2ebb50b0 | https://paizo.com/threads/rzs42d1p?Request-for-section-on-Spell-Perception |
Preserving Our World
Ensuring the future of the next wine-loving generation
We employ many "green" practices here at von Stiehl Winery including nitrogen and ozone generators. Our nitrogen generator was purchased in 2011 and has given us the ability to generate nitrogen that is 99.99% pure, which is utilized in the bottling process to prevent oxidation from happening. By producing the nitrogen onsite, we are reducing our carbon footprint by eliminating the travel expense and carbon impact of heavy steel cylinders to and from suppliers.
Numerous chemicals can be used in the sanitization process in food production plants, like wineries. One way to avoid using those chemicals is to use our ozone generator. Ozone is infused into water and then sprayed onto any non-porous surface. The ozone will attack and destroy the cell wall of bacteria, immediately eliminating it. To sanitize the entire winery, our ozone is released in a gas form into the air of the production facility at night.
When enjoying a bottle of von Stiehl wine, have you ever noticed that our corks aren't made out of real wood? We have stopped using corks from cork bark and have fully switched to Nomacorc corks, a carbon-neutral wine closure. Nomacorc corks are made from renewable plant-based polymers, including sugar cane, and have a #4 recycle code so they are 100% recyclable after they are used.
Other green practices that you will find around von Stiehl are our electric forklifts instead of propane and a heat reclaiming system in the production room so we end up using less Natural Gas to heat our facility. | eng | cbe1ed10-127e-479f-a162-72fa83867adb | https://vonstiehl.com/von-stiehl/about-us/sustainability-at-von-stiehl/ |

Setting an Employee's Working Pattern
Setting an employee working pattern
In TimeKeeper, you can set up a working pattern for an employee. This is a set of expected start and end times on specific days, contractual hours, overtime settings along with a memorable name.
These settings dictate when TimeKeeper will send clock in/out reminders, dictate what days employees are expected to work and can book off on leave, as well as how to calculate overtime correctly.
The default contracted hours is set to 0. This means that all time worked will be counted as regular time.
Alternatively, if you wanted to calculate overtime above 40 hours in a week, you would change the weekly contracted hours to 40 hours and select that they are eligible for overtime above 40 hours in a week.
To set different multipliers for each day of the week, tick 'Specify Overtime Rates Per Day'. You can also set overtime rates which will apply to hours worked at different times of day (Intraday Time Blocks) or after a certain number of hours worked per day (Intraday Hours Blocks).
Below you will see their working hours, which is the scheduled start and end time for each employee on each day. The ticked days are days that this employee is expected to work as well as days they can book off on leave. | eng | 6cf0a226-62cc-499f-ac87-500053d1c546 | https://help.timekeeper.co.uk/en/article/setting-an-employees-working-pattern-rf8wvr/ |
So, what you have, is an abstract class, with several types of methods, being the main template method, and a combination of abstract and/or hooks, that can be extended by different subclasses that all have the option of customizing the behavior of the template class without changing its underlying algorithm structure.
Template methods are useful to help you factor out common behavior within your library classes.
Note that this pattern describes the behavior of a method and how its inner method calls behave.
Hooks are default behavior and can be overridden. They are normally empty by default.
Abstract methods, must be overridden in the concrete class that extends the template class.
Terminology
Concrete Class: A subclass that extends some or all of the abstract class primitive methods.

Strategic insights, perspectives and industry trends for healthcare executives. Brought to you by CareCloud.
Why Electronic Health Records are Better than Paper Records?
Patient documentation is an integral part of delivering quality care. Despite the modernization of electronic health records and digitization in data keeping, many healthcare institutions still juggle between electronic and paper records.
MARKET FACTS ON EHRs
Over recent years, several studies have been conducted comparing electronic health records to paper-based records. This comparison relied upon various factors like record completeness, accurate retrieval ability, time consumed, and other economical and clinical parameters.
Published way before the pandemic, a 2007 international Journal for Quality in Health Care study quoted "On average, electronic medical records were 40% more complete and 20% faster to retrieve." The study analyzed EHR vs Paper records in mental health centers and found that EHR-associated medical documentation was prompt and more complete than conventional data-keeping.
Further, both researchers suggested healthcare providers shift either side of health recording and train their staff to settle with the upgraded system accordingly.
"The lessons learned from this study are that medical professionals should be cognizant of the possible discrepancies between paper and electronic information and look toward combining information from both records whenever appropriate."
JAMIA (Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association)
MEDICAL RECORDS
A medical record is a detailed report made at the initial registry of a patient. It includes all symptoms, signs, physicians and other healthcare provider comments. A patient's medical record is the complete directory of a patient's health, quoting all care observations and treatment plans.
PAPER-BASED RECORDS
Paper-based patient records (PPR) date back to the 1960s. For decades, they have been considered the "Gold Standard". Often electronic health records are validated against paper-based data records.
Traditional paper-based records imply recording patient information using paper, discs or films that are stored in physical space. Color-coded cards and filing systems are famous types of PPRs.
Drawbacks of PPRs
ALTERATION HASSLES are created while making constant changes in the records manually.
EXTRA PHYSICAL STORAGE is mandatory with PPRs. Increasing patient flow is good news for any practice, buts it comes with larger record-keeping issues. The external warehouse can be booked but that comes with two additional problems:
Medical records should be kept in hand and easily accessible when needed. No matter how close the warehouse is, it will delay the emergency treatment of critical patients.
ELECTRONIC HEALTH RECORDS (EHR)
Due to the frequency and diversity in the electronic health record systems, many healthcare organizations are shifting towards EHRs. These are digital filling of patients' conditions and all relevant data that might intervene in future diagnoses.
Pros and Cons of Electronic Health Records
Even though technology holds the charge in EHRs, we live in a tech-dominated society where 90% of healthcare workers are tech-savvy. Hence, EHRs have long-term benefits that outweigh those of PPRs.
DATA ENCRYPTION is mandatory with all electronic health records, abiding by the HIPAA compliance rules. Thus, maximum security is prioritized in EHRs through which patient data is protected within the organization and unrelated staff cannot access it.
MINIMAL COST IN THE LONG RUN. For practices that allocate thousands of dollars annually in data keeping and practice management, assigning an initial generous amount to integrating electronic health systems is beneficial.
Drawbacks of EHRs
HIGH UPFRONT COST, as discussed EHRs only cost high initially. With greater annual revenues, these costs are easily affordable by organizations.
HIGH-SPEED INTERNET SERVICE is one con, however, considering the technology boom nowadays, it seems less of a hassle.
FINAL THOUGHTS
Although paper-based records are considered the Gold standards for patient records, with advanced coding rules, EHR shows qualitative and quantitative benefits in procedural coding. | eng | b54a9d23-51db-4d55-9aad-4c043c125839 | https://www.carecloud.com/continuum/electronic-health-records-better-than-paper-records/ |
Dusty Circus™
What is the Dusty Circus™ font?
Dusty Circus™ is a five layer stacking display face designed to be infinitely morphed. The metrics are set identically in the individual and family set, to provide for typographic ease (although we seem to prefer an offset appearance). Great for a vintage western feel or a modern aesthetic.
In addition, note that it is very easy to omit a layer and add multiple copies of other layers to produce a 3D bevel on the fly, or inline styles with flair and substance.
LTD is a short set for non-commercial use only and combines two of the layers with many features/glyphs removed.
Dusty Circus™ Font families

Social Media Career Path: How To Get Started
The social media landscape has changed drastically since we started using Facebook in the mid-2000s.
Nowadays, companies rely heavily on social media platforms to connect with their customers and build communities around their brands.
As a result, many people are getting into social media marketing as new opportunities arise and career paths develop. But it can be challenging to know where to start.
What steps should I take to start my career path in social media? Is it possible to become a professional social media marketer without previous experience or a degree?
I'll answer these questions and more in this social media career guide.
How To Get Started
Like with most career paths, it becomes easier once you know what you're doing.
The first step is deciding which platforms you want to learn more about, researching, and using them. If you're already comfortable with and have a profile with specific platforms, such as Facebook or Twitter, you should already have a knowledge base.
Once you've got the basics down, you should also consider building out your understanding of other platforms like LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok, and Instagram.
The best way to get started with social media marketing is to build your audience on your profiles. It's the best place for trial and error. And it will help clarify which platforms you actually want to work on within your career.
Once you understand the different platforms, you can start evolving your social media skill set.
Essential Skills
Over the years, businesses have relied upon social networks to gain insights into consumer psychology and gauge public opinion.
This has enabled them to identify trends or changes before they take place. But what skills do you need to identify these trends or create engaging social media posts?
1. Copywriting
Now I'm not talking about copyright or intellectual property rights. I'm talking about crafting compelling copy to market a brand, product, or service.
Even if you don't have a background in writing, you can still develop the skills to become an effective copywriter. Pay attention to the ads and social media posts today.
Who's getting it right, and what brands are clearly missing the mark? You can start practicing copywriting by simply editing brand copy that misses the mark.
While copywriting is a career in itself, it's important to practice and perfect the art of social media copy.
2. Research And Analysis
Whether you're researching a brand and its competitors to get the lay of the land or finding the right time to post, becoming a good researcher will save you time and help you with social media marketing.
You'll also need to be able to interpret the key performance indicators (KPIs) for different brands. This is usually based on the platform's insights or other programs used to analyze social media performance.
Comprehending and utilizing the insights social media platforms and programs provide are necessary skills to have in this career path. And things change fast online, and that's no different for social media, so becoming a great researcher and analyst is a beneficial path.
3. Understanding Brand Personality And Tone
If you're working as a freelance social media manager or with a marketing agency, you'll need to be able to understand a brand guide.
These guides usually include the brand tone, colors, fonts, and the target market personality.
Surprisingly, not all brands have this, and sometimes, you'll need to help establish a brand guide for a company.
Understanding and utilizing a brand guide will help you keep the right tone and personality when addressing customers and creating social media copy for brands.
4. Creative Development
You'll need to develop a creative perspective incorporating the brand identity when producing videos and graphics for a brand's posts. In addition, staying within the brand's colors and font types can help create unity across posts.
Now, you don't need to be an expert graphic designer to create social media posts. There are numerous free platforms out there, like Canva and Adobe Express, that can help you create professional and unique social media posts.
5. Customer Service
If you go the route of social media manager, you'll also likely be monitoring the comments and direct messages for a brand's social media accounts.
Customer service generally requires critical thinking and problem-solving, which you'll also need in this career field.
In addition, it'll be important to be polite, respond quickly and thoroughly, and know whom to direct your questions to if you can't answer them yourself.
Recommended Education
There are numerous ways to educate yourself on social media marketing, from getting a bachelor's in social media management, interning and getting some hands-on experience, online courses, and countless free online resources.
If you're entirely new to the field and are serious about learning about social media management, get a bachelor's in marketing or social media management. The courses within these programs can lay the foundation to understand the business world and prepare you with the skills you need and practice and excel in the field.
If you're not entirely sold on the career field or simply want to expand your knowledge, you can take a seminar or course for social media management or a specific skill.
You will benefit immensely from learning more about copywriting and dealing with brands from the CCA course.
Usually, online courses like these also allow you to join online communities, like private Facebook groups. These groups can help give feedback on coursework, answer questions, and even help you land a job.
You can also read online resources such as ours on Social Media Strategy and Social Media Advertising. There are many excellent and free online articles, tools, and ebooks that can help you stay on top of social media trends and learn more about specific skills and strategies.
Roles Available In Social & Career Path To Follow
Today, social media plays a crucial role in advertising, customer service, and brand management. Social media marketers play a vital role in helping businesses scale and grow.
Several career paths are available, from freelance social media manager to social media strategist. Here are a few career paths you might want to consider:
Social Media Strategist
A social media strategist will help develop the brand's strategy for each online social media platform.
They will help identify and track the KPIs to ensure the social media strategy stays on track. This could include monitoring incoming followers, likes, shares, mentions, and comments across posts.
This role will likely work with different teams within the brand to create a cohesive and accurate portal of the brand. They will also need to understand search engine optimization (SEO) and how to incorporate it into the social media strategy.
Social Media Manager
A social media manager needs to know how to create content for various social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok. The social media manager must also understand how to optimize each platform and use analytic tools to measure performance.
In addition, a social media manager should be able to communicate effectively with both internal and external audiences.
As mentioned earlier, you'll also need to use your customer service skills to respond to comments and direct messages on each platform.
Your income could vary depending on whether you are a freelancer or work for an agency, but salaries usually range from $42,000 to $66,000.
Social Media Influencer
People who create content using social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat are social media influencers or simply influencers. Many companies hire them to promote their brand or products through images, tweets, posts, video clips, blogs, and more.
In addition, they usually pay influencers to post content on their behalf because they want to reach targeted audiences.
This can be a lucrative and unique career path. Like being a freelance social media manager, being an influencer gives you the autonomy to create your career path and solely work with brands that align with your values.
Depending on your following and the brands you work with, a social media influencer could make between $41,000 to $69,000. Now, if you have a Huda Kattan level following, this could extend far past that.
Social Media Consultant
A brand might hire a social media consultant if it needs someone to evaluate its current strategy or social media profiles.
Sometimes getting a fresh set of eyes and an unbiased perspective can help take a brand's social media presence to the next level. They can also help brands set goals and evaluate their SEO for their platforms discounts views | eng | fa32e1aa-0ae6-43b0-8df2-7f3b226c30c3 | https://articles.entireweb.com/seo/social-media-career-path-how-to-get-started/ |

Exercise
In a recent study, researchers from the University of New Mexico found that regular exercise is beneficial for the gut health. Exercise boosts the development of healthy bacteria which is crucial to our overall health. This, in turn, can improve our mood and psychological well-being. It also plays an important role in neurogenesis, which helps to ensure the development of new neural connections in the brain. The kind of exercise you choose should also promote gut health.
The effects of exercise on gut microbiomes were discovered in a study which was conducted on two previously inactive people and women for six months. Both groups showed improvements in the composition of gut bacteria , as well as higher levels of biologically relevant compounds. Additionally, both high-intensity aerobic exercise and voluntary wheel running have resulted in an increase in the amount of gut bacteria. But while these results are promising, they must be confirmed with further research. | eng | 1b9e9560-0c8a-4394-a4b8-cd42fb10a32b | https://www.thinktwicepakistan.com/rhubarb-gut-health/ |

Attribution is important to every event marketer, but what's the best way to go about quantifying the value of your online marketing efforts? Our marketing experts highly suggest using Google Analytics' robust UTM (Urchin Tracking Module) parameters for all your online marketing campaigns! They're simple yet highly effective, and it's free to append the tracking parameters to any URL you share via your email blasts, Facebook Ads, Twitter posts, and more. Read on to learn how and why UTM parameters are a pertinent part of any modern event marketing strategy.
What are UTM parameters?
UTM parameters are tags added to a specific URL, such as a link to your event listing. When a user clicks a link that includes these parameters, the tags are sent to your Google Analytics account to further empower tracking efforts and give you more insight on where your traffic is coming from.
How are UTM parameters used?
Once you have a Google Analytics account and have implemented pixel tracking on your website and event listings, you can create these URLs quickly and easily! The use of UTM parameters allows you to accurately track the traffic from each unique source to where you used the URL. For example, you might be interested in seeing the comparative success of the various places you distribute a link to sell tickets. In this case, you could use UTM parameters to create unique URLs to distribute to influencers for sharing with their personal networks. You could also use them for paid social media advertisements to separate ads and their respective success and in organic content such as email marketing.
What do active UTM parameters look like?
Let's say you want to track the traffic that comes from the event listing URL you're using in a Facebook Ad campaign. Your UTM parameters might look something like this:
utm_source: The "source" identifies the platform that the campaign is using. This could be Facebook (as in the example), a sponsor's website, an email campaign, etc.
utm_medium: This identifies the type of campaign, which can vary based on your objectives and campaign. In the example, "conversions-remarketing" denotes the campaign objective and targeting type.
utm_campaign: The "campaign" indicates the promotion or marketing push you're running. The example above is for campaign around a holiday sale.
utm_term: The "term" field is used primarily in your Google Ads search campaigns to track the keywords used.
utm_content: This is used to differentiate specific aspects of your ad or promotion. For example, is it a video ad or a specific image? This parameter is especially useful for A/B testing in your campaigns.
What are the best practices for UTM parameters?
Once you get into the habit of using UTM parameters, be sure to follow a few simple best practices. First, create a systematic way to tag your URLs. For example, use lowercase universally, separate words with dashes, etc. You can create your own system, just be sure to stay consistent to ensure easy and accurate campaign analysis. Next, consider using a URL shortener, like bit.ly, for distribution of the tagged links to avoid overbearing length and potentially spammy appearance. Lastly, use your tagged links across your marketing strategy; in order to have a full understanding of what sources or posts are driving the most traffic or conversions, you need to track, track, track! | eng | f6582f4d-bfb7-41e7-a9c4-11b724fea11c | https://blog.showclix.com/why-event-organizers-need-to-use-googles-utm-parameters-to-track-campaigns/ |

Right now, according to the votes everyone can see, maintaining the status quo is winning 17 to 16 over change. But if you look at the breakdown of up and down votes, it's [+19 -2] for status quo, and [+20 -4] for change, which means according to the upvotes only, change is winning 20-19.
Which way will it be counted?
If we count downvotes towards the total, then I can either upvote the option I want, or upvote the option I want and downvote the option I don't want, thereby cancelling out someone else's vote. And six people have done this already.
Should we all rush to cast our second vote and do an awareness campaign to get everyone else to do so? As it stands, this would result in a final vote of -1 for status quo, and +1 for change. Most voters won't realize that they can also downvote their "dispreferred" option for double effect, so some people's votes will be represented doubly. All of that seems ridiculous.
Assuming nobody downvoted without upvoting too --I think a fair assumption-- the number of upvotes represents the actual number of people who want each option, and the number of downvotes means nothing and should be discarded.
So, I propose that if we're currently intending to count based on net votes, that we change to only count upvotes. And whatever the final case, it should state clearly in very visible font in the question either that the apparent vote doesn't reflect the true vote and only privileged users can see the true vote count, OR that downvotes count as much as upvotes and everyone should vote twice.
@ilkkachu Nobody knows who. However, we can infer that the people who downvoted also upvoted. And the point is moot because all the answers are already in the initial post on that question which I didn't bother to read to the end.

The reason for this 'rule' is that while most users with a minimal amount of participation are able to upvote, but not all of them are able to downvote. It's quite common in polls across Stack Exchange. Unfortunately, it's also quite common that not all users read all the way until the bottom... I am happy with the amount of participation and it clearly shows we are rather divided on this issue; a few votes one way or the other probably won't matter.
I can only think the company suspected it would be a clear preference for the Stack Overflow behaviour (stop pinning the accepted answer) on all but a few 'special' sites in network (Puzzling, Code Golf) where the reverse would be true.
Anyway, our divided stance on this matter has led the company to decide to keep the status quo and the accepted answer remains pinned on English Language Learners:
Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Seeing that some sites do not want to unpin the accepted answer, we decided to move forward with the status quo and not to change the default behaviour on existing sites.
@nick012000 or let one person who could not vote (me, I created those answers) decide? :P Seriously, the goal of the poll is to check people's stances on this matter, not to force a majority decision. We wouldn't even be in a position to demand the company to adhere to our decision... | eng | 60068326-317d-4942-9ea6-457fb98bc6bf | https://ell.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/5557/on-user-vote-questions-do-we-count-the-net-votes-including-downvotes-or-just-t |
Video Conferencing Changing The World
August 26, 2019/
There was a short delay after a primary school understudy asked Expedition 17 space traveler Garrett Reisman,"What do you talk about on the ISS?" When the appropriate response came a couple of minutes after the fact (work, preparing, and family), a live question and answer session between members on Earth and the International Space Station had started.
Understudies and teachers accumulated at the One Stop Richmond Hill Community Center in New York and at the Valley Christian Elementary School in California to participate in a 20 moment, multi-point video telephone call with the ISS. The occasion was facilitated by NASA's Johnson Space Center through satellite, while the synchronous New York–California (across the nation) occasion was made conceivable with a TANDBERG video conferencing arrangement given by industry master IVCi. The occasion was made open to watchers across the country through a spilling video connect on the NASA site.
Notwithstanding having their inquiries replied by Mr. Reisman, the youngsters were given a live exhibition of the impact of microgravity; the space explorer played out a somersault in mid-air, and easily lifted a 80-pound compartment of water.
Neme Alperstein, Richmond Hill's Technology Program Administrator, has confidence in the influence of video conferencing to take understudies to places they may somehow or another never observe direct. "Understudies come here to partake in video meetings, so the kids know about the innovation. They did their exploration and were readied when they talked with the space explorer. Video conferencing is extremely intuitive, and with video conference it upgrades the kids' learning. I don't believe it's the future, I believe it's the present."
NASA runs projects like this in-flight instructive session to move understudies to contemplate science and investigate the probability of a profession in space investigation. Based on the understudies' responses, the occasion had an effect. "It is incredible to converse with a real space traveler – it feels stunning," commented one understudy. "It resembles an experience! | eng | 95b2b6ec-a683-42ab-8961-35d24c5ec83c | https://aconteceunocarnaval.org/video-conferencing-changing-the-world/ |

Sunday School: History Lesson 10
John S. "Jocko" Thompson was a left handed pitcher for the Phillies from 1948-1951. Jocko had been in the Red Sox organization prior to World War 2 breaking out, but served military duty as a paratrooper and company commander prior to making his major league debut.
Jocko was set to enter the 1942 season with the class A Scranton Red Sox but, when World War 2 broke out, he was called to duty and sent to basic training. After completing training in Louisiana, he became a paratrooper with the famed 504th Paratroop Regiment of the elite 82nd Airborne Division.
Thompson and the 82nd Airborne made jumps in nearly every major war zone. One of Jocko's early jumps was into Sicily in 1943. This invasion led to the Allies' capture of dictator Benito Mussolini. The list of Jocko's notable war experiences is long. When the war ended, so did Thompson's military career.
Upon his return to the United States and baseball, Thompson was the most decorated professional ball player. He served in North Africa and Europe and, while there, was awarded two purple hearts, a Silver and a Bronze Star, seven battle stars and numerous other ribbons, citations and awards along with a battlefield commission during his heroic career at war. In spring 1946, the 29-year-old reported to Scranton.
Herb Pennock, a former director of the Red Sox minor league system, was now the general manager of our Phillies. Pennock recruited members of his Boston staff to fill spots in the Phillies organization. One of his key hires was Scranton's business manager Joe Reardon, as the Phillies minor league director. Pennock and Reardon were familiar with Thompson and his history of heavy combat and the men made up their minds to acquire Thompson. They knew Jocko was a fighter and had heart. Prior to the 1947 season, Thompson's contract was purchased from the Red Sox.
Jocko would spend parts of the coming seasons with both the triple A Toronto Maple Leafs and the Phillies. Thompson, over his 4 ML seasons, appeared in 41 games, with a 6-8 record, 1 save, and a 4.24 ERA. Some say that the war took far too much out of him to have a sparkling pitching career, but his military service was far more important that what he did on the baseball diamond | eng | 5f975572-4d42-4034-932d-7bbd71a625ea | http://www.phoulballz.com/2009/03/sunday-school-history-lesson-10_29.html |

When this topic was first raised, I thought it was pretty useless:
And in general, it's not even a necessary feature:
But it seems to be a checklist feature these days.
It may actually provide some value to sites that do regular backups of their
raw DB files. It may actually be useful in some cases where you provide an
encryption key on separate removable media (e.g. a USB flash drive). It might
actually prevent a news article down the road on how some organization lost
their 5 million record customer database and now all that unprotected data is
now being exploited by criminals.
I doubt it, of course. It exacts a performance penalty on every DB operation,
so I don't think anyone will be able to use this long-term. For the off-site
backup scenario, it makes more sense to just encrypt the backup images (tar
format or whatever backup utility is used). That way you only spend cycles on
encryption once, at backup time. Any site that's savvy enough to do automated
backups can certainly figure out how to protect those backups with encryption.
But the question comes up from time to time, why we don't offer this feature
in the DB itself, and sometimes it's easier to just say "ok" than try to
educate people. (In fact we did a custom build of OpenLDAP for a bank a few
years ago, that requested this feature from us. They didn't even care about
the key management, the key was just a 96 character string hardcoded into the
back-bdb patch. The current patch in CVS is obviously a little better than that.)
So anyway, if you're wondering, no, I still think it's a dumb solution. It's
here as a marketing gimmick, for feature list checkboxes, not for any
technical merit.

An apocalyptic vision of greed, paranoia, crime, vengeance, and death! The vengeful father, the fanatical mother, the rebellious daughter, the unlucky son, and the greedy son-in-law come to the remote hideout with the priceless stolen ancient Inca gold necklace. Then, mysteriously, deadly copperheads begin to appear. Is their neighbor, the artist, planting them? Are the snakes attracted by mice that infest the abandoned church? Is there another explanation having to do with the father's vicious murder of the South American family who found the Inca necklace? Magnum pistols and tearful prayers can't stop the hundreds of copperheads that surround them. Seldom has vengeance been so exquisitely cruel or so graphically portrayed.

Angular Diameter
The apparent size or angular diameter refers to an object's size as viewed from a specified place. It is the object's visual diameter as determined from an angle. This is known as a visual angle. It is the visual diameter perspective projection diameter of an object. In this case the object is set on a plane through its middle that is perpendicular to the view direction.
Apparent Sizes of the Earth and Sun
The apparent size of the orbit of the Earth round the Sun is 2" (two arcseconds). This is from a one parsec distance. The apparent size of the Sun is 0.03", and the Earth 0.0003". This is at a light year distance. The Sun 0.03" apparent size is similar to that of an individual at a distance of the Earth's diameter.
Apparent Sizes of Celestial Bodies
These angular sizes are based on views on Earth. For the Sun it is 31.6' – 32.7'; for the Moon it is 29.3' – 34.1' and for Venus it is 9.565" – 66.012". The angular diameter of Jupiter is 29.800" – 50.115" and for Saturn it is 14.991" – 20.790". For Mars the apparent size is 3.492" – 25.113". The apparent size of Mercury is 4.535" – 13.019".
The apparent size of Uranus is 3.340" – 4.084". Neptune's apparent size is 2.179" – 2.373". Ceres is 0.330" – 0.840". The apparent size of Vesta is 0.20" – 0.64". For Proxima Centauri it is 0.001". For Deneb it is 0.002". The apparent size of Altair is 0.003".
The apparent size of Sirius is 0.005936" and for Canopus it is 0.006". For Alpha Centauri A, it is 0.007" and for Alphard it is 0.00909". The apparent size of Eris is 0.00909". Betelgeuse is 0.049" – 0.060"; R Doradus has an apparent size of 0.052" – 0.062" and for Pluto it is 0.063" – 0.115".
More about the Sun Apparent Size
The figures given indicate the Sun apparent size is 250,000 times compared to Sirius. The Sun apparent size is 250,000 compared to Alpha Centauri A. The Sun is 40 million times as bright. The Sun's apparent size is almost equal to the Moon in this respect. Objects that are not circular are given two diameter measurements: Minor and Major Diameters. For instance, the Small Magellanic Cloud has a 5 degree 20' x 3 degree 5' visual diameter.
Angular diameter measurements may not be the same as the object's physical diameter because of foreshortening. The figures are the same for a disc shaped object however.

Suicidal Ideation: Causes and Prevention.
Suicidal ideation? Well, it's nothing but your thoughts of committing suicide. Suicidal ideation is the reason why you may have lost some of your friends, relatives through the act of suicide. Actually speaking, it comes out of the lack of awareness about who you are. Suicidal ideation is the result of your misperception which makes you plan suicidal actions. The range of suicidal ideation varies from passive thoughts, to extensive thoughts, to detailed planning. Those who have active suicidal ideation try their best to commit suicide and are ready to make the favorable situation to commit suicide.
What Suicidal ideation is: Actually speaking, suicidal ideation is not a mental illness in itself, but a serious potential consequence of a treatable mental disorder. Your depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, personality disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety disorders, and even eating disorders may get developed into some mental disorder. The mental disorder you have is likely to put you in a situation where you feel that you are not worth living. People who have suicidal ideation sometimes express that causally or passively. These passive expressions are the result of active planning inside. You are supposed to identify such passive expressions and take the situation seriously into consideration. A positive smile, or approach from your part will be extremely helpful in this regard. Understand that all of your reactions are the result of the moods you have. And most of your moods are generated out of misperception. Every single moment you change your moods and this is how your biochemistry is at work.
Why you have it: Understand the fact that suicidal ideation is your health care problem rather than a mental problem. Your depression can be the main reason behind it. It can come out of your traumatic stress as well. Your traumatic stress is generated out of some of the painful or tragic experience you had like childhood sexual abuse, rape etc. Addiction to drugs or alcohol or war trauma can be the causative factors to your suicidal ideation. The physical problems like loss or fear of loss, serious financial problems, incarceration,hopelessness, your chronic pain with no hope of a cure, your belief that your life Is a burden to others, and your social isolation when you lose your friend, or spouse or your breakupor separation, or divorce, physical or mental illness, social anxiety due to retirement, or a move to a new location etc contribute to the decision to commit suicide. Actually speaking, it's not the problems but the way you have chosen to deal with your problems can be held responsible for suicidal ideation.
How can you get over it: You can definitely get over it. Accept the fact that you are always the maker of your reality. Just follow the steps below.
Step 1: Acknowledge what is happening: First of all, you need to understand the fact that the Universe doesn't bear anything valueless. If you exist that means that you are needed. Never fall victim to the misperception your mind gives you. You can rewire your brain anytime you want. If your mind tells you that you are never worth the value, try to show your mind the real value you have. Listen to your heart always. Your heart is a perfect organ, comparing to the brain. Try to have your thoughts generated right from the heart rather than from the brain which is bipolar by nature and deceptive by behavior. You are powerful enough to use both of your heart and brain as an antenna to be tapped into the universal consciousness. It's your brain that makes you believe what you see. Actually speaking, life lies way beyond what you can see. Approach your local help agencies for prevention of suicidal thoughts and you can google their numbers. It's your thoughts that decide the course of your life. You are here to enjoy every moment. Your failure is your opportunity to be more successful. Your perception is the reason behind your thoughts. But most of your perceptions are wrong as you are living in a simulated world with a limited living structure which operates with its limitations. Use your consciousness to make your perception right. You are so powerful and are the personification of the Universe. You have come here with a bunch of unique skills, most of which lie dormant inside if you don't discover them. Start your day with a 5-minute meditation to raise your energy level. Use meditation to develop positive mentality.
Step 2: Know how special you are: You are so precious and your willpower is the greatest force you have and you can conquer your chronic diseases or genetic problems on demand with practice. You are capable of self healing. You are the Co-creator with God and are the advanced form of God's expression on the planet. The whole World is made for you. Use your skills for the betterment of society and the World is waiting for you. If you have lost someone or something, never get over worried about it as it's your optical illusion. When someone/ something is dead, energy (spirit) trapped inside, gets released, getting ready for the next avatar, according to the soul(Accumulated experience while living), it's built up. A pitch of energy can never be destroyed but be converted. Always remember that you are here just to make some experience, get evolved and enjoy it for a while. You are an eternal spiritual being rather than a human being.
Step 3: Promote your interaction: You are a social species. Get away from your social isolation. Solitude sometimes leads you to suicide. Never let your feelings burn inside and always be ready to share it with someone else. Your friends and family members can definitely help you out and try to solve the problems you have. It's the mood that makes you think about suicide and your mood is the trick being played on, by your mind. Your mood is the mis-projection of your mind and is always changeable. You are a new person every single moment. Use music always to change your moods. It's the best possible means through which you can quickly change the way your biochemistry works.
You should never try to manage suicidal feelings on your own. Professional help and support from loved ones can make it easier to overcome any challenges. Many people have experienced suicidal thoughts and survived, only to be very thankful later.
Step 4: Avoid drugs and alcohol: It's one of the important things you can do. Drug or alcohol abuse always puts you down and fortifies the misperception, generated from your mind. It actually pulls you back from achieving your true self. Know that there are other things for you to explore and enjoy thoroughly. Suicide makes you repeat the birth cycle of the same conscious level one more time, once you get your spirit awakened. Know the fact that you are an eternal spiritual being with a unique pattern of resonant frequency. Nothing can destroy you. Suicide kills only your body. Practice love and it will make you more peaceful and powerful. Follow your passion and maintain a healthy network of people, supporting you always. Throw the negative people from your life away as you do with a piece of rubbish as their weird reality is not a match with yours. Why should you waste time spending on them, getting yourself negatively more polarized? Raise your energy and start enjoying every single moment of life. Build your life around service to others mentality, thus making the World work in tandem with you, giving you more success, luck and favorable situations | eng | 6a3879e9-aebe-4ce9-8a7f-2c255de5a733 | https://www.youtheuniverse379.com/2020/09/suicidal-ideation-causes-and-prevention.html |
RV Legends - Wally Byam
Wally Byam (1896-1962) was an influential figure in the world of recreational vehicles (RVs) and the founder of Airstream, a renowned manufacturer of travel trailers. Byam's vision and innovative designs revolutionized the RV industry and continue to be celebrated by RV enthusiasts today.
Byam's passion for travel and adventure led him to create Airstream in the 1930s. He designed and built his first travel trailer, called the Airstream Clipper, in his backyard. Byam's trailers were characterized by their sleek, aerodynamic design and lightweight construction, making them more fuel-efficient and easier to tow than other trailers of the time.
Byam's attention to detail and commitment to quality craftsmanship set Airstream apart from other manufacturers. He believed in the principle of "endless travel," which encouraged Airstream owners to explore the world and connect with other like-minded adventurers. To foster this sense of community, Byam organized caravans, where Airstream owners would travel together to various destinations.
Byam's dedication to excellence and his emphasis on creating a lifestyle around RV travel helped popularize Airstream trailers and cemented his status as an RV legend. Today, Airstream is recognized for its iconic silver bullet-shaped trailers that are instantly recognizable on the road.
Wally Byam's legacy continues to inspire and influence the RV industry. Airstream trailers remain highly sought after, and the company continues to innovate while staying true to Byam's original vision of providing a high-quality, comfortable, and stylish way to travel and explore the world.

Save our Venus' flytrap
It seems only fitting that in a place called Cape Fear we have plants that eat flesh, albeit insect flesh.
Sure, we can lay claim to Michael Jordan. But nowhere else in the world will you find naturally occurring Venus' flytraps except within 100 miles of Wilmington.
These hungry herbs like bogs and damp savannas. Not too wet. Not too dry. These areas can be sparse in nutrients, so the plant has evolved to get nutrition via the insects and spiders that may land on its leaves.
They thrive in areas such as the Green Swamp in Brunswick and Columbus counties. You'll also find them in the woods near Alderman Elementary School in Wilmington. But don't dig one up - it's against state law.
Interestingly, the flytraps prosper in wooded areas that have had fires. A few seasons with no fire activity, and the habitat becomes less hospitable.
The biggest threat to flytraps is the booming development in Southeastern North Carolina and across the state line into South Carolina. In fact, The Associated Press recently reported that in the Palmetto State the plants are now almost entirely confined to Horry County.
For years, Wilmington horticulturist Stanley Rehder has been the flytrap's best friend, working to preserve habitat and to educate the public about the unique plant. Let's hope there will be people to take up his cause.
Meanwhile, it would help if the state raised the status of the plant from "special concern" to "threatened." Currently there are enough populations to keep it off the threatened list, but not many of those populations are in good condition. With a plant this unique to our area, adding it to the "threatened" list seems like a reasonable move.
No matter the status, with a staff of only three, the N.C. Plant Conservation Program would find it difficult to enforce regulations. So it's ultimately up to the people of the Cape Fear region to preserve this mysterious part of our ecosystem.
Education efforts and the identification and protection of habitats are the best options. Areas such as the Green Swamp Preserve are off limits to development, but the plant needs a wider range of habitat to survive and flourish.
And who knows? Maybe one day the plants will develop an insatiable appetite for mosquitoes. | eng | 7561444f-91fe-48cf-a357-4f288d51a897 | https://www.starnewsonline.com/story/news/2008/10/12/editorial-save-our-venus-flytrap/30464222007/ |

The layers of data centre security and how to achieve them?
We have security standards in place for a reason, to keep all data centres regulated to ensure they're properly equipped to withstand an attack. How does the layout of these security systems help to reduce intruders, trespassers, or attackers?
A method that is favoured by many is the layered approach. This strategy gives sites an in-depth defence that deploys a series of mechanisms to slow the advance of an attack. The idea being that if by some chance one layer is breached, then a subsequent layer is already in place to prevent the threat progressing further into the compound. The 4 layers that are usually implemented include Perimeter Security, Facility Security, Computer Room Security and Cabinet Security.
Data Centre Perimeter Security
As we know the first layer is going to be the first line against defence, used by data centres to discourage, deter, and delay any unauthorised entry. The main element to the perimeter security is an effective fencing system that can keep individuals out. Fencing systems are an excellent way to keep boundaries clear and stop trespassers entering just on their own accord. With this, a data centre fence line must be accredited with a security rating that lessens the potential level of threat, to comply with the physical security standards. Many require at least a minute's delay time in attack, allowing responders to arrive on the scene. That's why our systems within our high security range are tried and tested to LPS 1175 from LPCB, with the minimum delay being 1 minute. Although fencing systems are a major part of the perimeter security, it's not the only thing that can be used to deter an attack. In conjunction with an effective high security fence line, many sites use video surveillance systems, motion activated lighting, and even manned security guard stations to track movement and deter an intruder from attempting to gain access.
Facility Security
If the perimeter security were to be breached somehow, then the next layer of security would be facility control. This restricts access into the building by using access control systems like key cards and biometrics. The key card access or biometric entry points allow for authorized personnel only accessing the building. To go one step further in protecting the facility, high security temporary gate systems could be used around entry points that are able to withstand force. If you have another physical barrier to overcome within the site as well as the exterior, then this might deter some intruders from trying | eng | 846827ac-6cc3-4519-b27e-9e0951b8dd91 | https://www.cld-systems.com/2022/02/23/the-layers-of-data-centre-security/ |

If you compete at a high level, then you've likely had to deal with an injury, be it small and nagging or season-ending and significant. Regardless of its severity, there are common contributors that directly lead to most injuries. One of the main contributors is incomplete recovery from consecutive bouts of high-intensity training or competition. This scenario of incomplete recovery can result in subsequent underperformance and injury. However, proper nutrition is key to helping aid and quicken recovery. A second main contributor to sports injuries is free radicals and inflammation.
Failing to plan is a plan to fail. Athletes who plan their meals and snacks for competition will have an advantage over their competitors.

General description
Curcumin is a yellow-colored polyphenol obtained from the rhizome of Curcuma longa L. It constitutes an important part of various diets and herbal medicines, especially in the Asian continent for its various salubrious effects on human health.[1][2][3]
Application
Curcumin has been used:
to study its effect on the consequences and mechanism involved in the suppression of human homeobox gene NKX3.1 in the prostate cancer cell LNCaP[1]
to examine its effect on stress in pigs by having an inhibitory impact on the serum cortisol concentration, hippocampal nitric oxide production, and brain-derived neurotrophic factor expression[2]
to study its effect as a dietary supplement on the growth, immunity, antioxidant activity, and disease resistance in Oreochromis niloticus[3]
to analyze its protective effect on the organotypic hippocampal slice cultures against the synaptic toxicity caused by amyloid beta peptides (Aβ1–42)[4]
to examine the possibility of its non-toxic concentrations to decrease the inflammation caused by interleukin-1beta (IL-1β) in cartilage explant cultures[5]
to study its protective impact against intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats[6]
Curcumin possesses anti-inflammatory, cancer prophylactic, and anti-oxidant properties. It also exhibits antagonistic nature towards the cluster of colon, breast, and blood marrow cancer. It does so by means of having an inhibitory effect on the various associated enzymes such as cycloxygenase-2 (COX-2), lipoxygenase and ornithine decarboxylase.[1] It is also postulated to have anti-depressant, anti-stress and neuroprotective effects on humans and other animals.[2] It is being proclaimed to be used as a treatment for Alzheimer′s disease due to its ability to cause synaptic toxicity.[4] Additionally, it also shows anti-fungal, antiviral, anti-microbial, chemosensitizing, radiosensitizing, and wound healing activities.[6]

Chess In A Nutshell – Basic Movements Of Each Chess Piece And Special Moves
Game Parts
The chessboard consists of 64 perfectly alternating black and white squares, whichever way it is oriented. It consisting of eight ranks (rows) and eight files (columns).
There are 32 chessmen, 16 black and 16 white:
8 Pawns each
2 Castles or Rooks each
2 Horses or Knights each
2 Bishops each
1 Queen each (plus one additional queen each for 'pawn promotion' – see a section entitled special moves)
1 King each
Board Set-up
The board must be oriented such that both players have light-colored squares at the right-hand corners of the rank closest to them.
At the start of each game, chessmen are arranged along the two ranks nearest to each player, with chessmen of opposing players facing each other.
The front rank on each side comprises eight pawns each, while the rear rank on either side is arranged as follows:
Two Castles or Rooks at the two extremes
Two Knights next to the two Rooks
Followed by the two Bishops
With King and Queen bringing up the core of the rear. The Queen occupies the matching square (black on black, white one white). The King occupies the remaining position.
Gameplay
The player with white pieces always plays the first turn. This may be decided by the toss of a coin or a blind draw of pieces.
Players must maneuver their pieces around the board – following the movement stipulations laid down for each type of piece – adopting various offensive and defensive strategies (game-specific) and tactics (turn-specific), in an attempt to weaken the opposition by capturing as many of their pieces as possible, while strengthen their own position by keeping as many of their own pieces in play, and holding strategically strong positions.
When one player moves any of his pieces to a position that directly threatens the opposing King, that player must issue a warning to his or her opponent, by saying "Check"
The ultimate objective for both players is to "Checkmate" the other, by using any one or more of their own pieces to trap the opposing King, such that it cannot avoid capture.
Moves
The various types of pieces, are restricted to certain types of moves:
THE PAWNSmove up the ranks, one rank per turn, up the file to which it is assigned. Two exceptions: (1) They may move two ranks up a file on their opening moves. (2) They may capture any opposing piece positioned one step diagonally ahead of it, in either direction. A capture is the only common condition under which pawns can switch files. Pawns are the only pieces that can never move backwards.
THE ROOKSmove vertically up and down the ranks, or horizontally left and right through the files, covering an
unlimited number of squares per turn, within the confines of the board, unless it is impeded by another piece en
route. If the impeding piece is an opposing one, the Rook may capture it.
THE KNIGHTSmove two steps in a horizontal or vertical direction, then turn 90-degrees left or right to take another step (effectively, an L-shaped move) – all within a single turn. They are unique, in that they can jump over any other piece, en route to its 'destination square'. However, they cannot move to a 'destination square' already occupied by another piece belonging to the same player. On the other hand, if any of the 'destination squares' is occupied by any opposing piece, the Knight may move to that square and capture the opposing piece.
THE BISHOPSmove diagonally across the board, covering an unlimited number of squares per turn, within the confines of the board, unless impeded by another piece en route. If the impeding piece is an opposing one, the Bishop may capture it. Because of its diagonal movement Bishops that start the game on a black square are confined to black squares, and those starting out on white squares are confined to white squares, right through the duration of the game.
THE QUEENis the most powerful piece. Her moves effectively combine those of the Rook and the Bishop. And like both, she may capture any opposing player impeding any of the many pathways open to her – in horizontal, vertical or diagonal directions.
THE KING, like the Queen, moves in horizontal, vertical and diagonal directions, but only a single step per turn. He is the most valuable, but also the most vulnerable, piece on the board.
Special Moves
Promoting Pawns:
A pawn that can make its way to the final rank of the opposing side, no matter which file it occupies, it may be promoted to any other piece of the corresponding players' choice – Queen being the most obvious choice. This is the reason why most chess sets come with two additional Queens – one black and one white.
En Passant:
When a pawn's first move – two ranks up its file, takes it to a position adjacent to an opposing pawn, effectively preventing the opposing pawn from capturing it in the normal fashion, then the opposing pawn may play the 'en passant' move – capturing the first pawn by 'passing' it diagonally across its rear, to occupy the square right behind it. The validity of this move lasts only for a single turn – i.e. it needs to be played immediately after the first pawn's move – thereafter the option doesn't exist.
Castling:
The only dual move in chess, where King moves two square left or right, while the Rook jumps over the King to occupy the square next to – but on the opposite side of – the King, within the same turn. This may be done with the Rook on either side of the King. This move helps protect the King while also freeing-up the Castle for offence or counter-offence. However, a few conditions need to be met for the move to be made:
It must be the King's very first move.
It must be that Rook's very first move.
There must be no other pieces in any of the intervening squares.

What is a Custom Software Development Life Cycle?
A Software refers to a collection of instructions that notifies the computer how to work. A Software is also called a Computer Program. Each computer function requires a unique set of instructions. That is why there are multiple Software or Computer Programs available. Take the example of videos that are played on a computer. It can play the video only when a specific set of instructions is loaded on to the computer as a Software or a Computer Program. However, where does this Software come from? They are created by professionals through an extensive process. The process is known as Software Development. In addition to the Software Development term, we have also been hearing about the term, Software Development Lifecycle. Let us understand what the Software Development Life Cycle is?
Software Development Life Cycle
It refers to a structured and sequential process that a professional follows to create a Software or Computer Program. The entire process is broadly divided into seven steps.
Project Initiation Phase – This is the first stage wherein the user submits a request for a desired Software to professionals.
Requirement Gathering Phase – At this stage, professionals try to understand the user's requirement in terms of the functionality of the Software. They also figure out the feasibility of the Software production in terms of technology and finance. If it is feasible to make the Software, professionals give the go-ahead and plan the project delivery schedule and resources.
Design Phase – At this stage, the Software is designed based on inputs received from the user. Professionals write a set of instructions or codes. If required, the Software is also linked to other Computer Programs at this phase.
Implementation Phase–At this stage, the completed software is installed or loaded on to the user's computer.
Testing Phase – The professionals test the software for required functionality, portability, and any other related issues. The bottlenecks are solved at this stage.
Deployment Phase – The Software is ready to be used at this stage. The user receives training regarding the operation of the software.
Maintenance Phase – Technology and user environment keeps changing from time to time. This calls for an upgrade in the existing Software. Maintenance Phase takes care of this.
After getting insight into the entire process of creating or developing a Software, let us understand what a Custom Software is and what is Custom Software Development Life Cycle?
Custom Software and Custom Software Development Life Cycle
Some of the users need specialized Software to support the functioning of their field of work, as off-the-shelf software do not have special features to cater to their needs. In such a scenario, the user approaches professionals and ask them to develop a specific Computer Program that can serve their purpose. Such tailor-made Software is known as Custom Software. This Software is more specific in nature. Unlike Generic Software, they can also be updated based on the user's need, time, and budget. One of the examples of Custom Software is 'Jira,' which is a bug tracking software. It is used by Cloud Technology dependent users to track bugs or technical issues. Custom Software Development Life Cycle is the process of developing Custom Software. The stages of development of a Custom Software is the same as any other software. However, professionals follow different models for developing or creating a Custom Software or a Generic Software. Let us get an understanding of these models.
Software Development Models
Models define the basic strategy of an off-the-shelf Software Development or custom Software Development. However, the phases of the Software Development Life Cycle mentioned in earlier section remains the same but not necessarily in the same sequence. Few of the models are:
Waterfall Model – It is the simplest and the oldest model. According to this model, all the phases of Software Development Life Cycle follow the same sequence as mentioned in the above section.
V-Model – This model is an extended and improved version of the Waterfall Model. It follows the phases in the same sequence, but testing and validation are involved at each stage.
Agile Model – This is the most modern approach that is being followed today. According to this model, the entire Software is developed after multiple iterations. With each iteration, continuous improvement is made in the Software based on feedbacks. This means that in the beginning a simplified version of the Software is produced following the phases of the Software Development Life Cycle. In the next iteration, the created Software goes through the same phases, and a modified version with advanced features is created. Thus at the end of multiple iterations, a complete Software solution is produced.
Conclusion
In the present world, developing a Software is a complex process that involves continuous inputs and feedback. The dynamic world of technology calls for continuous improvement and maintenance of the Software once it has been developed. An efficient software development service provider who can make a user's life easy is the need of the hour | eng | fc41cf01-461c-4909-83fd-86d08ad1db1a | https://www.wesuggestsoftware.com/what-is-a-custom-software-development-life-cycle/ |

AI "art" is not innocuous. It is having real negative impact on the arts. From magazines and book publishers deciding to use AI "art" instead of hiring illustrators, to literary magazines having to close down submissions because they've been swamped by AI "stories," to art contests being won by AI "art," opportunities for artists to make a living are already being cut, especially for newer, less established artists. Even for me, with a 20 year career and an agent, I'm seeing fewer avenues to paying work. I can't imagine being 18, wondering if there will be any way to get a job in the arts when every entry level art job will be taken up by AI by the time they're halfway through art school.
So many AI "artists" have this idea that real artists have had it too good for too long, holding creativity hostage somehow, living easy lives, when most of us have to constantly hustle just to stay regular poor instead of homeless poor, our mental and physical health in rough shape all the time. To work so hard not only to hone our skills but to take on the equally hard second job of chasing down opportunities for work, only to see those opportunities go to someone who told a computer to do all their work for them, who then turns around and says we artists don't deserve money or even attention... it's such a slap in the face. It's such a breathtaking insult added to grievous injury.
It's not that these people are using AI to *assist* the creation of their work. This isn't like Photoshop, which is a tool. PS might make some aspects of the work easier or faster, but it's still a lot of work, a lot of time, a lot of skill. AI does it all for you. AI "artists" are no different from clients who commission me. If a client describes to me in great detail what they want me to draw, and then I draw it, are they somehow the artist? No! Telling it to a computer instead of a person doesn't change that.
I know AI "art" can be interesting. It's nifty to see what we've taught computers to do. It's funny to laugh about how many fingers they have. But it's really having such a huge negative impact on the creative world right now that the drawbacks far outweigh the curiosity of it. I wish I saw more people outside of artist communities thinking about this, caring about this, talking about this. | eng | a9879fec-d1d0-4ad6-b8c8-dfed96b036c3 | https://www.tumgik.com/tippenfunkaport |

was South Korea able to pursue its nuclear weapons program in the 1970s? Was U.S. coercive diplomacy the primary driver leading to South Korea's decision to abandon the weapons program? This seminar examines South Korea's nuclear weapons program and U.S. non-proliferation efforts from the Nixon to the Carter Administrations in the broader context of international nuclear history.
Please join us! Coffee and tea provided. Everyone is welcome, but admittance will be on a first come–first served basis.
South Korea attempted to acquire nuclear reprocessing facilities from France in the mid-1970s. U.S. and Canadian pressure led South Korea and France to abandon the negotiations.

Developing bullying surveys or questionnaires
It's really important to monitor levels of bullying in schools and settings. This gives you a picture of levels of bullying and wellbeing and also helps you to identify where you might need to focus your anti-bullying energy.
When developing anti-bullying surveys and questionnaires for children and young people (CYP), it is particularly important to ensure your indicators are accessible by all and provide accurate and reliable data.
We have written some tips about developing questionnaires/surveys:
The term bullying should be deliberately avoided when developing questionnaire items for a number of reasons.
First, research shows that 'bullying' is often conceptualised differently by different children, for example younger children do not tend to distinguish between bullying behaviour and fighting when compared to older children (Smith, Cowie, Olafsson & Liefooghe, 2002).
Second, research has shown that behaviour-based questions assessing bullying are a more sensitive measure of bullying compared to a single items directly asking about bullying frequency (Sawyer, Bradshaw & O'Brennan, 2008). As such, we suggest focusing on on specific bullying behaviours commonly reported in the literature.
Based on research we suggest a structure for your questionnaire across four areas:
(i) assessing CYP's experience of bullying within the school context;
(ii) assessing bullying behaviour, in order to more closely examine the concept of reactive bullying – bullying behaviour perpetrated by CYP who are also bullied by their peers;
(iii) assessing school climate and belonging, including relationship with teachers; and
(iv) assessing CYP's emotional and behavioural problems as an index of well-being and the socio-emotional impact of bullying experiences.
Before administering the questionnaire it is critical to undertake piloting to provide feedback on the adequacy of wording, questions or response options that may pose a challenge for CYP with language or communication difficulties. Ensure your focus group you test it with are representative of the school community. Ask yourself if the data you get back from testing reflect accurately the population and if questions were understood by all pupils.
We would recommend an electronic system to collect the questionnaire data that both presents the questionnaire items and securely collates the associated data. Research has shown that systematised approaches to questionnaire presentation with CYP result in fewer missing data points, and less variable overall scores when compared to paper-and-pencil questionnaire administration (De Leeuw et al., 2003).
It is vital though that any electronic platform or paper version of the questionnaire is fully accessible for all pupils, for example, can screen readers read the questions? Is the font accesible?
If developing the system online we suggest presenting questions individually will go some way to ensuring that each individual question is given due consideration.
Parent/carer permission should be obtained before questionnaire completion.
Ensure you monitor bullying levels of groups of pupils with certain characteristics - for example, children with SEN, looked after children, children on free school meals, children from a race or faith minority group - best practice would be that you had an online secure system for pupils to record their answers which will record data about these characteristics. If we rely on children to report their own characteristics, you run the risk of the data being inaccurate however it is very important that you are able to see if certain groups are more vulnerable to experiencing bullying.
At the Anti-Bullying Alliance, we have developed our own questionnaire with the Anna Freud Centre, which was reviewed and updated in 2021 by Goldsmiths University. For schools that are registered for our free United Against Bullying programme, they are able to administer this questionnaire free of charge via our online platform.
If you complete the pupil questionnaire and need to analyse the results, please note the following:
Part one is about school experiences. The more "Always" and "A lot" answers, the more positive pupils felt about their school (and vice versa).
Part two is on Pupil Relationships, measuring being bullied, and bullying others. Questions 1-5 are of being bullied experiences and will give an idea of bullying levels in schools ("A lot" or "Always" answers being indicative of frequent bullying). Questions 6-10 are about bullying others and would give a measure of bullying perpetration within the school.
Part three is about Wellbeing. Questions 1, 2, 8, 9 and 10 are positive, so answers of "Always" and "A lot" indicate more positive pupil wellbeing in the school, whereas questions 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are negative so the opposite would apply.
