]]>Every year, November 13th marks the start of Transgender Awareness Week. Everyone should feel safe to bring their whole true self to work and should never face discrimination because of who they are.
Here are some key ways to create a trans-inclusive workplace, and the simple steps your organisation can take to overcome the barriers too often experienced by trans people at work.
1: Names and pronouns
You can signal to trans colleagues that they are valued by paying close attention to their correct names and preferred pronouns. The "misgendering" of trans employees, whether intentional or unintentional, is relatively common at work. A onetime slip-up, such as using an incorrect pronoun for a colleague who has recently transitioned, can be an honest mistake. It happens. If you do get it wrong, quickly apologise and ensure to get it right the next time. There is no need to make excuses or give long apologies. And if you're not sure which pronoun to use, ask "How do you prefer to be addressed?". Don't simply assume.
Encouraging everyone to add their own pronouns to their email signature and social profiles (e.g. 'She/Her' 'He/Him' or 'They/Them') is another simple act of trans-allyship and helps create a further sense of trans visibility. It is also more inclusive for non-binary and gender neutral colleagues and, in addition, helps to avoid confusing a colleague's pronouns who, for instance, has a gender-neutral name.
Call people all across the gender spectrum by the names they tell you they would like to be called. The word 'deadname' refers to the name a trans, non-binary, and/or gender-expansive person used prior to changing their name. If you realise that you've unintentionally deadnamed someone, apologise the moment you realise you've done so and move on. If you deadname someone, and they (or someone else) inform you, thank them. Let the person know you appreciate the correction.
2: Inclusive Recruiting Practices
This one seems pretty obvious to us! You may be the most accepting and vibrant organisation but external applicants will have no idea of your workplace culture towards transgender employees unless you take special steps to show your company's commitment to and celebration of equity, diversity and inclusion.
You can also demonstrate your organisation's regard for equality to the outside world by listing the opportunities for new recruits to involve themselves in diversity activities, such as network groups or events. Many transgender employees will look for this when applying for jobs, as offering these kind of opportunities is usually indicative of an accepting workplace.
3: Data Collection
Understanding the people who work for you – and the people who don't – can reveal how unconscious bias manifests itself in your workplace. Data collection can help you see which social groups apply for a role, progress through the application stages but perhaps don't end up landing the job.
This can also highlight possible imbalances of employee demographics in different job bands. You might have several openly transgender employees, but statistics show that trans people are more likely to be in more junior roles, with many not being open to senior workers about their gender identity. Gathering data will help you identify the necessary steps to build an inclusive workplace culture.
It's also important to diversify areas of your data. Having a greater, more diverse choice of suffixes for employees and applicants to select from demonstrates your awareness for those who do not wish to identify through a binary suffix (e.g. Mr. or Mrs.). Offering alternatives, such as the gender-neutral suffix 'Mx.', demonstrates your organisation's dedication to social equality.
4: Support and Awareness Training
Equipping your line managers with a comprehensive understanding of transgender issues can be done through training. Obviously transgender awareness is a great place to start but also unconscious bias and more general EDI training, to extend their ability to manage social issues that emerge at work.
This is one of the most important steps towards changing your trans employees' experiences if they open up about their gender identities at work. Their line manager's trans awareness will vastly alter their experience with coming out at work or deciding to openly transition. If your line managers have received the appropriate support, training and guidance, they will be able to best support to their transgender colleagues.
5: Allyship
Now more than ever, trans people need allies. It has never been more difficult to be transgender in the UK. Transgender people are facing more discrimination and transphobic rhetoric in the media and online, fuelling a moral panic concerning transgender rights. Every trans person is unique, there is no universal experience of being transgender. If someone is questioning or exploring their gender identity and they choose to share that with you, listen to them and support them in this process by respecting their decisions. Also be mindful about accidentally "outing" someone – not all trans people will be comfortable with everyone knowing that they're trans. Give them the space and time they need to come out on their terms if they choose to do so.
Have clear policies in place combating transphobic behaviours and create a culture where people feel that, if they want to disclose various aspects of their identity, they can do so without fear of discrimination. It must always, however, be up to the individual whether or not they choose to disclose and who they choose to disclose to. Employers must be ready to respond to individual needs and create a culture where trans people feel they have allies, are supported and ultimately protected by their organisation.

Tue, 24 Oct 2023 15:00:00 +0000 is Black History Month in the UK and we are loving the opportunity this year's theme gives us to 'Salute Our Sisters'! It is truly joyous to spotlight and celebrate the crucial role that Black women have played in shaping our history, inspiring change and building our communities...
October is Black History Month in the UK and we are loving the opportunity this year's theme gives us to 'Salute Our Sisters'!
It is truly joyous to spotlight and celebrate the crucial role that Black women have played in shaping our history, inspiring change and building our communities, through literature, music, art, fashion, sport, business, politics, education, healthcare, socially, and so much more. The few incredible individuals we are highlighting here have been selected from a very, very long list of other outstanding women we could have chosen!
So, why the focus specifically on Black women? Well, we say, why not? Throughout history, Black women have faced unique challenges and triumphed over adversity in remarkable ways. The voices of Black women have been suppressed, silenced, and side-lined for centuries. Despite these challenges, Black women have persevered. Despite adversity, Black women have not just survived but thrived and made a mark upon all our history.
We tend to talk about race inequality as separate from inequality based on gender, sexuality, age, or socio-economic status. What's often missing is how some people are subject to many or even all of these, and the experience is not just the sum of its parts. To quote Kimberlé Crenshaw, "All inequality is not created equal". An intersectional approach shows the way that people's social identities can overlap, creating compounding experiences of discrimination. For example, all women can face gender discrimination in the workplace. However, Black women have also been unfairly stigmatised in the workplace, where natural hairstyles or protective styles are sometimes deemed unprofessional, highlighting the inherent biases in the workplace, and in our society, generally. Or there is the application of "adultification bias" which has led to the rights of specifically Black girls being diminished or ignored and the outrageous ordeal of Child Q.
Intersectionality is a lens through which we can see where power comes from and collides, where it interlocks and intersects. We need to recognise how the negative effects of bias, microaggression and privilege are amplified for individuals with layered identity. Layers of intersectionality can hinder access to education and employment opportunities, they can shape thinking and mindsets, the view we hold of ourselves and our place in the world, they can potentially diminish aspiration and ambition, and have a serious impact on mental health.
Before Florence Nightingale, there was Mary Seacole – a pioneering nurse and unsung heroine of the Crimean War
Recognising the accomplishments of Black women is not just a gesture of appreciation, it is an acknowledgement of the power to rise and succeed despite the cards often being heavily stacked against you. It's a necessity to be part of a positive change to the narrative, in a move towards eradicating inequality and inequity in the workplace and wider society through better understanding and allyship, and to challenge the systems that oppress.
As a proudly Black female founded and led organisation, we recognise and celebrate the awesome resilience of Black women to overcome, contribute and excel.
To all Black women, wherever you are, whoever you are, we salute you.. this month and always!
]]>The US Supreme Court recently ruled that the US Constitution prohibits American universities from having affirmative action policies on the grounds of race.
Affirmative action first made its way into policy in the US in the 1960s, and has been defended as a measure to increase diversity. Some universities used affirmative action policies to increase the number of Black, Hispanic, and other underrepresented groups of students on American university campuses.
This Supreme Court case was sparked by conservative activist Edward Blum, who filed lawsuits in 2014 against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill challenging their use of race-conscious admissions. Blum and other critics of affirmative action have said college admissions should be based on equal standards and merit.
We do not welcome the Supreme Court's decision and are certain that this will further discourage students from under-represented groups from applying for these institutions. The knock-on effect will be had in terms of representation in the workplace if these students are no longer applying for these institutions, knowing that the inequitable selection process will see them not be successful.
In the UK, we do not have the concept of affirmative action. Instead, under the Equality Act 2010, there is something called "positive action".
Positive action is the use of measures which are permitted under the Equality Act 2010 to help and enable people from under-represented workplace groups to overcome barriers when competing with other applicants who are not under-represented. The aim of positive action is to lessen and remove discrimination from the workplace, making it more equitable.
UK employers and organisations should focus on inclusive EDI policies that positively include individuals from multiple backgrounds. Businesses and organisations in the UK should look at what practical steps they can take to encourage and support those from under-represented groups to join and thrive in their team.
When was the last time you considered how diverse individuals of intersectional backgrounds may experience your organisation or your people and culture policies?
Positive action examples include:
placing job adverts to target particular groups, to increase the number of applicants from that group
including statements in job adverts to encourage applications from under-represented groups, such as 'we welcome disabled applicants'
offering training or internships to help certain groups get opportunities or progress at work
offering shadowing or mentoring to groups with particular needs
favouring the job candidate from an under-represented group, where two candidates are 'as qualified as' each other
Are your organisation's people policies considering intersectionality? How are you supporting all of your employees?
]]>Affirmative Action: Supreme Court RulingEDI: Leading with Equity
Fri, 23 Jun 2023 11:00:00 +0000 us, it's EDI and not DEI. While both of these acronyms describe the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion, we prefer to use the term EDI because it places equity before diversity and inclusion, to emphasise its importance.
For us, it's EDI and not DEI. While both of these acronyms describe the concepts of diversity, equity and inclusion, we prefer to use the term EDI because it places equity before diversity and inclusion, to emphasise its importance.
Multiple studies have proven that diverse teams drive better business performance and organisations with greater diversity become more resilient and innovative. And inclusion is required for diverse groups to thrive. But where should the starting point be to achieving this? There's little point in considering how to recruit a more diverse workforce, nor how to ensure talented individuals from different backgrounds are fully included, if your organisation has not yet considered what different people need to be successful. And to do that, you need to lead with equity.
Elevating equity is critical because even in organisations that are both diverse and inclusive, individuals who come from different backgrounds can still run into policies, practices, or assumptions that prevent them from being fully engaged, supported, and able to reach their potential, especially when layers of intersectionality are additional impacting factors.
That's why rather than DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), at Inclusive Recruiting we prefer to say EDI – placing equity as the first consideration.
When it comes to EDI vs. DEI, without a focus on equity, well-intentioned diversity initiatives can appear disingenuous. Ensuring your organisational practices and policies are equitable is essential to the sustainability of your investments in diversity and inclusion – and ultimately, your ability to create belonging and retain top talent.
Leading with equity is about recognising that different people have different needs and being committed to giving people what they need to succeed.

]]>Ramadan, the holiest month of the Islamic year, will begin this evening.
Do you understand what this might involve for Muslim colleagues observing Ramadan, including the challenges they could face in the workplace?
Many Muslims will be balancing their religious commitments with their work during the month, especially if they are fasting from sunrise to sunset. They may also wish to spend time in prayer, engage in charitable activities, and spend time with family and friends to celebrate.
Employers need to be considerate and flexible, taking steps to ensure support is there at work during this time. For example, identify and offer a prayer space; hold meetings at suitable times of the day; avoid or make it optional to attend working lunches, evening meetings or social events; raise awareness of Ramadan among your whole team.
With sleeping patterns likely to be disturbed, employers can help to minimise the impact of fatigue by being open to employees adjusting their work patterns by, for example, amending their start and finish time. You could also temporarily amend the ratio of time spent attending the workplace compared with time working remotely and allow fasting employees to spend more time working at home during Ramadan.
And be flexible with annual leave requests, especially towards the end of the month as employees look to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the three-day festival to mark the end of Ramadan. This year, Eid al-Fitr is expected to start on either Friday 21st April or Saturday 22nd April. While there is no automatic right to time off for religious reasons, line managers should be sensitive to the needs of employees who are observing religious events, including Ramadan.
Showing colleagues who are observing Ramadan that you are open and willing to support their needs during this month will help make them feel valued and respected.

]]>As this year's Black History Month draws to a close here in the UK, we've been reflecting on how we want to meaningfully and mindfully celebrate going forward.
Black history is often centred around racism, trauma and suffering, most obviously with the aberrations of the slave trade or more recent incidents of police brutality. While it is crucial that we educate ourselves on this important part of history, it should not be the sole focus of Black History Month. Black trauma constantly being highlighted is not celebratory, it is harmful. It is triggering. Mentally exhausting.
So while we acknowledge the traumatic events of Black history, and indeed we back British writer Malorie Blackman's recent call for year-round Black history to be taught in schools, we believe we should also highlight and celebrate all that has been achieved, seek ways to support Black businesses, communities and individuals, and educate ourselves not just during Black History Month but year-round. We should celebrate Black History Month by uplifting Black communities, Black culture and Black achievements. We want to see a focus on Black Talent and Black Joy!
Our team have put together a few suggestions of how you can build your knowledge and get involved to nurture genuine allyship…
Spotlight on Black Excellence
The UK's 2023 Powerlist, an annual list that aims to provide professional role models for young people of African and African Caribbean heritage, has just been announced. Congratulations to Dame Sharon White, the first ever female chair of John Lewis Partnership, who is named the UK's most influential Black person. White made history in a previous post as chief executive of Ofcom, when she became the first woman – and the first Black person – to lead the media regulator. She was also one of the most powerful women in Whitehall, when she was responsible for overseeing spending cuts as second permanent secretary at the Treasury.
Dame Sharon was selected for the top spot by a panel of judges led by retired high court judge Dame Linda Dobbs Image: johnlewispartnership.co.uk
Immerse yourself in a movie celebrating Black Joy! We love this list of films compiled by PopSugar Entertainment UK, including the comedies "Friday" and "Coming To America", the musicals "Dreamgirls" and "Sister Act", Disney's "Soul" and "The Princess & the Frog", and Questlove's glorious music documentary "Summer of Soul".
The highly-anticipated sequel "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" will be released in less than two weeks, with a storyline this time focused more on the female characters. It looks as incredible as you would want it to be! We'd also strongly recommend searching out "The Woman King", starring the fiercely magnificent Viola Davies. A tale inspired by true events that took place in the Kingdom of Dahomey, one of the most powerful states of Africa in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is epically good.
Celebrate Black Music
Where do we begin, when there is so much to choose from? If you'd like to explore some classical composers from history who may be new to you, Classic FM has put together this great list of 10 Black composers who changed the course of classical musical history. For example, did you know that Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, was a contemporary of Mozart and is remembered as the first classical composer of African origins? There is even a popular theory that Mozart 'borrowed' one of Saint-Georges' ideas in his Sinfonia Concertante. Moving forward to the artists of now, trumpeter and composer Wynton Marsalis is one of the biggest stars in jazz, who's inventive and infectious jazz, gospel and spiritual-infused compositions have become some of the most important new works to hit classical concert halls.
Huge congratulations to London rapper Little Simz for her recent win of this year's Mercury Music Prize with her fourth album "Sometimes I Might Be Introvert" – a coming-of-age tale which takes you on a journey through her family background and artistic struggles over a funky, orchestral brand of hip-hop. The album debuted at number 4 in the UK album charts and also won BBC 6 Music's Album of the Year.
Seeing artists such as Stormzy,Dave and Beyoncéheadline the Pyramid stage at the Glastonbury Festival in recent years has been a real positive step forward in terms of diversity and representation. We celebrate the Joy these incredible powerhouses of 21st century music channel through their talent, passion and originality.
Supporting Black Businesses
You can support UK Black businesses by following and supporting Black Pound Day. BPD was founded by cultural influencer Swiss from So Solid Crew to empower the community, build the economy and gain greater knowledge to be able to access and invest in black businesses, addressing the economic inequalities affecting Black businesses in the UK. Held on the first Saturday of each month, when people are encouraged to buy from Black businesses and Black products for the day. BPD has moved offline as well, with the Black Pound Day store in London's Westfield Shopping centre stocking more than 80 Black-owned companies and brands. Here's a list of 12 Black-owned brands to check out, compiled by Hello magazine.
Celebrating Black Achievement in Business
The latest British Black Business Awards ceremony was held last month, celebrating the often unsung contributions of exceptional Black professionals and entrepreneurs, and recognising and rewarding exceptional role models and the businesses that support them. The BBBAwards have been credited with inspiring confidence in the strength of the ethnic minority talent pipeline across the sectors it engages and is currently the only premium awards programme of its kind in Britain. Take a look at this year's remarkably talented, deserving winners here. Is there someone in your network who you could put forward for recognition next year?
Eat Black food
Another way to educate and immerse yourself in Black culture is to experience the different cuisines and try some new dishes. Whether you fancy Caribbean, Nigerian, Ghanaian, Somalian or Ethiopian, you can by visiting one of the hundred's of amazing Black-owned restaurants here in the UK or by experimenting with new flavours and recipes at home. If you're based in London, here's a list of 15 Black-owned restaurants for you to enjoy. If you've never tried jollof rice before, join the heated debate and rivalry between Nigeria and Ghana over which variation of the meal tastes better!
Jollof wars: the rivalry between Nigerian and Ghanaian styles of jollof is a (mostly light-hearted!) debate among the West African diaspora
Black Authors
Reading Black literature is elemental in understanding diverse narratives and experiences. It provides a rich conversance with some of the most impactful, world-changing cultures, through tales and accounts of strength and fearlessness, as well as pain and vulnerability. And it can bring such joy! There are many recent works by Black authors that deserve recognition, here's a list of some of the best ones for your next reading session. Representation is important, especially so in children's literature. Check out this list of 13 wonderful children's books by Black authors and illustrators, featuring Black characters.
CelebratingBlack Theatre
The Black British Theatre Awards were established in 2019 to celebrate the influence of Black performers and creatives on the UK's artistic legacy and highlight the impact of their contributions on an international level. The BBTAs highlight the abundance of Black talent and seek to change the lack of recognition by amplifying the positivity of talent and creativity in UK theatre through their work. This year's joyous event was held on October 16th. You can view the winners here.
Black Visual Art
The British artist Sonia Boyce's award-winning work 'Feeling Her Way' will come to the UK in 2023, the British Council has just announced. The installation, which won the Venice Biennale's Golden Lion prize this year, combines video, collage, music and sculpture. Boyce's win was a historic moment – she was the first Black woman to represent the UK at Venice.
Black artists have had a huge impact on the global art scene. From the ground-breaking American sculptor Edmonia Lewis to the Turner Prize-winning Mancunian Chris Ofili, they have helped to shine a spotlight on what was underrepresented. Some have drawn on their heritage to make art that is explicitly political and confrontational; while others have produced work completely separate from issues of race. Here's a list of 13 important Black visual artists everyone should know.
Kehinde Wiley's portrait of Barack Obama (2017) – 44th President of the United States and America's first Black leader
While not ignoring the history, we would like to focus on Black Future. The talent, the opportunities we can open up, the contributions to society we can celebrate. Together let's create a network of allyship that isn't performative and there for praise and reward, but is done because it is needed. Let's continually educate ourselves and each other. And let's celebrate Black Talent and Black Joy not just during the month of October, but each and every single day.
"We are so beautiful and have such a wonderful history of strength, overcoming, talent, innovation, creativity, invention and love."

To order – as they are all amazing individuals in their own right! – here's who we've picked:
Rachel Morgan-Trimmer – Founder of Sparkleclass.com, Rachel is a coach and neurodiversity consultant, who has autism and ADHD. Through her work, she gives advice on how to be more inclusive of people with ADHD, autism, dyslexia and dyspraxia. She says that traditional interview processes have always been challenging for neurodivergent individuals, to the point where many struggle to get a job, despite evidence that neurodivergent workers are more productive and learn faster than their neurotypical peers. She suggests employers ask individuals what they'd like the first step to be – whether that's a phone interview or video. Giving them these options – and the option to review their answers afterwards – can help reduce anxiety around the interview process by allowing them to perform in a way they feel more comfortable, and by giving them the ability to clarify or elaborate after the event.
"When it comes to inclusion, it doesn't just stop at accessibility. Being able to enter a building is not enough – we also need to feel safe enough to speak, to be ourselves, and to feel included." – Rachel Morgan-Trimmer
Asif SadiqMBE – Chief Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Officer at Warner Bros and multi-award winning diversity and inclusion expert.

April is Stress Awareness Month. We all know what it's like to feel stressed and experience stress from time to time. It can help motivate us and improve our performance, but if it's happening too frequently it can cause problems.
Stress overload is a big issue in Britain. In the UK's largest ever stress survey, 82% of people said they felt stressed at least some time during a typical week whilst 74% have felt so stressed that they have been overwhelmed or unable to cope (source: Mental Health Foundation 2018). With the events of the past two years, these statistics would likely look even worse today.
Is all stress 'bad'?
A common misconception is that stress is inherently negative. This is not the case, we need some low-level stress to learn, grow and develop. 'Good stress' might look like this: we feel motivated, buzzing with energy, we are focused, can concentrate deeply and think clearly and creatively.
However, when our workload, family or finance issues or other challenging events tip us into a state of ongoing stress and we aren't able to work through the issue(s), it can lead to anxiety, sleeplessness, brain fog, low productivity, low mood and physical health issues.
Often our own expectations, self-criticism and past experiences can cause us stress too and greatly affect our ability to deal with challenges with a positive mindset.
A big misconception is a belief that your sense of busyness is coming from your long to-do list. It's likely not. Let me explain…
Realistically, you can focus on one thing at a time, you can't do it all at once. If you are frenzied, you are likely indecisive. Your mind is trying to negotiate decisions about your day in real-time from when to leave for a meeting to what to work on after. This indecision will create stress. Decide ahead of time. Take time to plan your day. Schedule it, stick to it and move on. The faster you decide the more you follow through, the less overwhelmed you feel and the more efficient and productive you will be.
You may feel stressed because of the meaning your mind is attaching to your day. Thoughts like "I have so much to do" or "I can't get this all done" are sending a signal to your body that things are out of control (fight or flight)! These thoughts will make you feel trapped, stressed, and BUSY. You are less productive when you have mind drama. You are less focused. When your mind starts to scream "I have so much to do! I can't get this all done!" talk to it the way you would talk to a child having a meltdown. Here are my go-to drama zappers:
One thing at a time. Nothing has gone wrong. It's just tasks. Focus on what is in front of me. Practice moving through your day without the drama. Be a person who is not frenzied. Be a person who moves from one thing to the next as if nothing is on fire. Because nothing is on fire.
Beware multi-tasking: Multitasking feels helpful but promotes stress and damages productivity. The constant mental switching fatigues your brain and makes you less efficient. Do one task at a time and avoid distractions.
Give your brain a break! Take regular breaks throughout the day. Even 10 mins in between meetings make a huge difference to your state of mind. An activity that consumes your energy and attention and helps you to be in the moment is best to destress your mind. If you are stuck for ideas, take some deep breaths with your eyes closed and your mind focusing on the sensations of breath.
Also, protect your time 'off the clock'. More hours don't mean you are more productive. There is always more to do. Safeguard some time to do something you find calming or that brings you joy outside of work hours.
Be confident in your ability to deal with your challenges. Think about your personal resources such as your strengths and skills (or other competencies), social networks etc. that you can draw upon. Think "This is a tough and stressful situation, and yet I am still here, still dealing with it – what has helped so far, what else could I build on?" (your own abilities or external resources). What has worked before for you? How did you relax, calm down and focus? Reflect on what you have done in previous times in your life when you felt calmer and less overwhelmed and then craft ways to bring more of that into your here and now.
Take care of yourself
Pay attention to your own needs and feelings. Do things you enjoy, find relaxing and that make you happy. Spend time with people who lift you up. Connection fuels us. Of course, also try to exercise regularly, eat healthy food, and get a good night's sleep. Taking care of yourself enables your mind and body to deal with challenging situations that require resilience.
And finally, watch out for the inner judge!
A lot of our stress comes from fears about 'bad outcomes'. That voice in your head, saying "I am screwed if I fail in this project" or "people will think I am not capable if I don't get this done". Paradoxically, you are more likely to prevent these 'bad outcomes' if you don't worry about them so much. This is because you are less likely to get derailed by overreacting and stressing out every time a small glitch happens.
Your clear-headed, positive and centred mind is more resourceful and creative in responding to hiccups along the way helping you to recover from setbacks and challenges faster. Ultimately, there is learning and an opportunity even in failure if we look for it. When we approach challenges from this perspective, our stress reduces. We can be our best and deal with situations with a positive mindset, no matter what happens.

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 23:21:42 +0000 Random Acts of Kindness Week. Everyone could do with more kindness in their lives, especially so after the last two tough years.

]]>It's Random Acts of Kindness Week. Everyone could do with more kindness in their lives, especially so after the last two tough years. Scientific evidence shows us the positive effects of doing kind acts for others, as well as receiving or even witnessing kindness.
For this year's Random Acts of Kindness Week, we're putting our focus again on Random Acts of Inclusive Kindness.
Even the smallest act of kindness can foster inclusion! For example:
Education and understanding are the first steps toward creating more diverse and inclusive communities. Set aside time to participate in a mental health awareness workshop or sign your team up for an inclusion training session together.
Lunch and learn. Choose a lunch break to sit down with your colleagues (in person or virtually) to listen and learn about someone else's culture or disabilities. Freedom to talk and gain a greater understanding of each other is a kindness which can benefit us all.
Remember to always be mindful in your communication. This includes using the right pronouns, avoiding strange acronyms or jargons when speaking with people who have a different first language, and ensure you have considered alternative resources such as Braille, audio descriptions, subtitles, sign language interpreters, and large print for use in interviews, meetings or presentations.
With kindness as your starting point, there are many ways you can create a sense of belonging and inclusion in your workplace and for your work colleagues. Here are some more suggestions:-
1. Active listening
When people take a little more time to genuinely listen, without distraction, it makes us feel valued and more able to be ourselves at work. While this is not surprising as important, it is surprising that many people frequent their workdays without feeling truly listened to.
Active and genuine listening in the workplace is not only important in the moment, but impacts individuals and the overall ability of an organisation to be inclusive. An inclusive kindness could as simple as someone in your organisation demonstrating they have remembered something you have said, like the name of a family member or a detail about a project you are working on or a hobby you love. Each time you show you have really listened to someone is an act of kindness that can make a BIG difference to their day.
2. Recognise achievements and contributions
Acknowledging and recognising someone for their work is an act of kindness we can all do to foster inclusion.
This could be sending an email to highlight someone's contribution to a project or simply a colleague saying "that's a good idea" in a meeting. People feel most included when their work contributions are shared in front of others, widening the recognition of their accomplishments and contributions.
It need not be management acknowledging great work or contributions to a project – it's equally important when colleagues make an effort to share recognition for the contributions of others.
Similarly, people also feel included and valued when colleagues support their ideas and contributions in meetings and discussions, amplifying their voices and crediting them.
3. Seek opinions, help and the expertise of others
We all feel more valued and included when we're proactively asked for our opinion or advice on a project. Whether it's consulting someone in a decision-making process, asking for help on a task, or being looped into a meeting outside of your own department or area, these inclusive kindnesses help make the workplace feel more collegial and collaborative.
Similar to having our work, contributions or ideas recognised, people appreciate and feel included in the workplace when they are called upon for their opinions, help or expertise.
4. Welcome new employess
This may seem like an obvious act of inclusive kindness but from day one someone should take an active role to introduce a new employee, orient them and include them in social opportunities, so that they feel included and welcomed. Take the time to show them around the office building and surrounding area and provide helpful tips to orient them (e.g. where to get a coffee, where to eat) as well as highlighting workplace norms and culture. People will also appreciate the inclusive gesture of management sharing a personal "to all staff" announcement by email or holding a meeting to welcome them. Even if for now it is only a virtual welcome, everyone feels included when they are actively and warmly welcomed as new employees to an organisation.

There is a secret to applying for and getting jobs. Being your best at interview is a combination of having a great application to get you in the room, plus wowing the interviewers on the day.
People with dyslexia may face unique challenges when applying for a new job when it comes to preparing the application and performing at the interview stage.
Watch this video for great advice on how to be your best at interviews for people with dyslexia. Daniel Brooke, CEO and Director at Neurodiversity Specialists, talks tips and tricks with Elizabeth Takyi, CEO Aspire to Inspire Dyslexia CIC.
Here's a quick rundown of the interview if you don't have time to watch today.
How to Prepare for an Online Job Interview
Plan, plan, plan! This is great interview advice for anyone. But if you have dyslexia, then here are some really great tips to help you be your best in the interview.
Test Your Equipment before an Online Interview
Covid 19 means that most interviews are now conducted online. This may continue for some time so it's good to be prepared for a video interview.
Testing your equipment ahead of time will reduce stress on the day. Does your headset work? Is your microphone functioning? Maybe you can test this with a friend.
Make sure the environment works too. Is the lighting right? Can the person at the other end see you?
Mind Map Potential Questions
If you're comfortable disclosing that you have dyslexia ahead of time then you might ask for additional time ahead of the interview. You are entitled to request extra time if, for example, you need to mind map answers to questions.
It is also reasonable to ask for a copy the interview questions or request to see the question on the screen. A multiple part question can be a challenge if your dyslexia impacts your short term memory.
If you're not comfortable disclosing, then do some research on common potential interview questions ahead of time. If you've already mind mapped the questions, you're much more likely to be your best in the actual interview.
Research the Organisation and the Team
Maybe you don't feel comfortable about disclosing your dyslexia before the interview for whatever reason. Perhaps you've had a poor experience at work in the past.
Whatever the reason, you will want your new organisation to be a place where you can be your best at work. Putting in the time to research the organisation you're looking to work with will give you a good idea of whether you'll like it once you start. It will also provide some great questions to ask in the interview!
Do they clearly support dyslexic and neurodivergent individuals? If you spot any red flags while you're researching, then maybe this isn't the right place for you.
Employers are required by law to put reasonable adjustments in place for anyone who needs them. Many organisations are not aware of this responsibility and don't always fully understand the challenges for people with dyslexia.
A reasonable adjustment in the workplace can include:
Assisted software.
Adaptive equipment.
Workplace coaching.
Awareness training for colleagues.
Innovation and creativity are much higher in the dyslexic population which are invaluable skills in any organisation. These are great reasons for any organisation to hire you.

Can I Use the Same Recommendation Letters when Applying to the same Program 2nd Time?
Most colleges or universities require recommendation letters when you are applying for a program. If you are applying for quite a few colleges or universities then you can use the same recommendation letter if you are applying for the same subjects. However, if you are applying for different subjects like engineering and business then you should use different recommendation letters.
What is a Recommendation Letter?
A letter of recommendation, mostly known as a recommendation letter is a type of written document that offers information about an individual's character and work ethic. According to Wikipedia –
"A or function. Letters of recommendation are typically related to employment, admission to institutions of higher education, or scholarship eligibility."
For example, an employment reference letter includes the below information –
The employee's tasks and responsibilities
The duration of employment or tasks/ responsibilities
The position relative to the author of the reference letter
The employee's abilities, knowledge, creativity, intelligence
The employee's qualifications
The employee's social attitude
The employee's power of rapport
Reason for employment termination
Some text with the actual recommendation itself
How to Ask For a Recommendation Letter?
If you need a recommendation letter then you have to ask for it. In order to get stellar recommendations, you can follow the below steps –
Step – 1: Choose the Right Person
It is very important to choose the right person for the recommendation letter. You should keep in mind that the best recommendation letter will come from someone who knows you very well. Therefore, you should make a list of people who know you the best. Then find out whose recommendation letter will suit your requirement. Then ask the person politely to write a recommendation letter for you. For example, if you are applying for a university then you should consider asking a teacher from your college or the high school guidance counselor. This is because teachers will have the freshest memories of you. On the other hand, if you are trying to apply for grad school then you have to submit a letter of recommendation from one or more of your professors. Politely ask your professor for a letter of recommendation.
Step – 2: Prepare a Resume
If you want to get the best recommendation then you should make it easy for the person. So, preparing a resume will help the person create the recommendation with the correct information. While creating the resume, you should include the below information –
Include the information about the courses that you took with this teacher or professor
Step – 3: First Ask in In-person
Before sending a formal request letter, you should ask the person first and find out whether he/she will write a recommendation letter for you. Speak with the person individually and explain why you will need the recommendation later. If the person agrees to write the letter of recommendation for you then move to the next part.
Step – 4: Send a Formal Request
Now, if the person agrees to give you a letter of recommendation then you have to send a formal request. You can use various types of templates to write a formal request. While sending the request, you should include the below information –
Step – 5: Follow Up and Send Thank You Note
After sending the formal request, you have to follow up with a polite reminder about the due date. You can send the reminder own or two weeks before the recommendation letter due date. If they need additional information then send them the information with a thank you note. After the due date, you should send a thank you note to every individual who wrote a letter on your behalf. You can also send the update of your application to your recommenders. They will appreciate it.

FAQs about Can I Use the Same Recommendation Letters when Applying to the same Program 2nd Time
Is it ok to reuse a letter of recommendation?
If you are applying for the same subject, and if the recommendation letter meets all the requirements then you can reuse a letter of recommendation.
Can you use the same letter of recommendation for multiple students?
It is very highly unlikely that you can use the same letter of recommendation for multiple students. This is because each student has a different bio and educational information. So, the information of a student won't match with the information of another student. This is why you won't be able to use the same letter of recommendation for multiple students.
Do universities verify recommendation letters?
Yes, every educational institute verifies a recommendation letter. It is a very important piece of document that educational institutes ask for during the admission process. So, you should make sure the recommendation letter you are submitting with your application form is legit. | eng | f479aaad-2323-4096-b649-ae5348803e98 | https://mgtblog.com/can-i-use-the-same-recommendation-letters-when-applying-to-the-same-program-2nd-time/ |
The difference between VR and AR
Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment that can be interacted with using special equipment, such as a VR headset with a screen and sensors. The user is fully immersed in the virtual world and can look around and interact with objects as if they were real.
Augmented Reality (AR) is similar to VR, but instead of creating a completely virtual environment, it overlays digital information on the user's view of the real world. This can be done using a smartphone or tablet camera, or specialized AR glasses.
Both VR and AR have a wide range of applications, such as gaming, education, and training, as well as in fields like medicine, architecture, and engineering. | eng | b4b93824-1a39-4998-9c36-c236939f02cf | https://www.phenicie.com/2023/01/23/the-difference-between-vr-and-ar/ |

Carl Jung Quotes on Humanity
If you're looking for words that can stir your soul and set your heart ablaze, here are the Carl Jung Quotes.
Introduction
Carl Jung was a Swiss psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who made significant contributions to the field of psychology. He was born on July 26, 1875, in Kesswil, Switzerland, and grew up in a family of pastors.
Jung studied medicine at the University of Basel and later worked at the Burghölzli psychiatric hospital in Zurich, where he developed his theories of psychology and psychoanalysis. He was a student of Sigmund Freud and became one of the founders of the psychoanalytic movement.
However, Jung eventually developed his own approach to psychology, which he called analytical psychology. This approach emphasized the importance of the individual's psyche and the role of the unconscious in shaping human behavior and personality.
Jung's ideas were influential in fields such as dream analysis, mythology, and religion, and he wrote many influential books, including "The Archetypes and the Collective Unconscious" and "Man and His Symbols."
Jung died on June 6, 1961, in Küsnacht, Switzerland, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most important figures in the history of psychology. His theories continue to be studied and debated by psychologists, psychoanalysts, and scholars around the world, and his ideas have had a profound influence on the way we think about the human mind and behavior. here are the Carl Jung Quotes.

Barking Dog Guidelines
To make a barking complaint you must first determine whether you live in or outside a sphere of influence of unincorporated Butte County. If you live in the unincorporated, rural areas of Butte County, please refer to Process 1 below. If you live within city limits, please refer to Process 2 below.
Things to consider when filing a barking dog complaint:
"Barking dog" means a dog that barks, bays, cries, howls, or makes any noise for an extended period of time to disturb any person at any time of day or night, regardless of whether the dog is physically situated in or upon private property.
An extended period of time shall consist of incessant barking for sixty minutes or more in any twenty-four-hour period or intermittent barking for sixty minutes or more during any twenty-four-hour period.
A dog shall not be deemed a "barking dog" for purpose of this Article if, at any time the dog is barking, a person is trespassing or threatening to trespass upon private property in or upon which the dog is situated, or when the dog is teased or provoked by someone other than the owner.
Is the dog owner aware there may be a barking problem?
If possible and you feel comfortable, speak to the dog owner about the noise. Often people are unaware that there is a problem.
If other neighbors share your concerns, try talking to the dog owner as a group, or sending a letter outlining the neighborhood's concerns.
Keep a written log, documenting the times and duration of the barking. This will help your case should you consider further action against the dog owner.
Process 1
Unincorporated, Rural Areas of Butte County
The following procedure shall be used to document a barking dog nuisance in the rural areas of Butte County. "Rural areas" are defined as those areas that are not within the sphere of influence of a city. For more information, see the Barking Rural Area Process Chapter 4-1.2b (PDF).
Any audio or video documentation may be submitted but is not required.
Upon receiving an initial call or statement form, a barking dog packet will be sent to all parties with further information. Please allow 10 days for the situation to be addressed by the owner.
If the barking continues you and at least one other neighbor will need to submit individual logs indicating the dates and times of the barking.
After the barking logs are submitted, they will be reviewed for completeness and evaluated to see if enough evidence has been collected to issue a court citation.
If a citation is issued and contested, you will be notified and asked to appear as a witness if the dog owner requests a court trial. Failure to appear in court will result in the dismissal of the case.
Process 2
Barking Complaints in the Sphere of Influence of a City
Upon the filing of complaints, an animal control officer will make a personal visit with the dog owner or responsible person to offer information and to provide educational materials on correcting the barking.

Modeling Crustal Folds
Overview
In this activity students will use playdough to build 3D models of Earth's crust to observe how it bends and folds as a result of tectonic stress. These formations, when found in nature, give geologists a picture of how Earth has formed and changed over geological time.
One of the many things that makes Earth's geology unique is the presence of tectonic plates. The movement of these plates over eons of Earth's history is responsible for the formation and breaking of supercontinents, such as Pangea. This movement occurs at tiny but measurable rates of only one to 10 centimeters per year, and can either result in the plates spreading (divergent), crashing together (convergent) or sliding past each other (transform).
Knowing how and which way these plates are moving at these boundaries between plates allows us to predict future movement, as well as risk zones, where the stress of movement can result in Earthquakes. These stress zones are what we commonly see as cracks, or faults, and are typically found in brittle rocks.
However, many sedimentary rocks, which form by deposition of eroded rocks over time, are far more pliable and deformable than their brittle counterparts. This deformation causes folds in the rocks rather than cracks. These folds give us features such as synclines and anticlines where Earth's crust has folded up like an accordion as a result of compressional stress. In the case of synclines, the folds point upward from the central axis, or "hinge line", whereas in an anticline, the folds point downward from the central axis.
Geologists do field research to look for exposures of these faults where erosion has worn down the surface rocks over long periods of time and exposed some of the rocks deposited underneath.
While the work of field geologists remains crucial to the study of plate tectonics, NASA has also begun using satellite images to help track the subtle movements of Earth's surface over time.
For example, missions such as Terra have provided global images of high-risk erosional zones in coastal areas. The LANDSAT 8 mission, which monitored natural disasters such as lava flows from space, took hundreds of photos a day with a resolution of up to 15 meters per pixel. At this resolution, scientists were able to observe land movements as a result of natural disasters, but tracking finer movements on a geological scale was limited.
The NISAR spacecraft, slated for launch in 2022, will have those capabilities and more, mapping Earth's surface with a resolution up to a few centimeters per pixel. This is possible due to the satellite's two synthetic aperture radar bands, which will allow the mission to create a global map every 12 days at a quality never before seen in a NASA Earth science mission. This finely detailed map will allow scientists to identify areas impacted by erosion, landslides, earthquakes, and other natural hazards, monitor geological changes, and make predictions that could help communities better respond to natural hazards.
Procedures
Remind students that Earth's crust is generally made of brittle rock, the sedimentary rocks that make up much of the surface can actually deform under stress and pressure, causing bends and folds. This is called "plastic" or "ductile" deformation as opposed to when the pressure gets too extreme or is applied to brittle rocks, causing cracking of the crust, or "faults". These folds and faults give us hints about how tectonic plates have stretched or collided over time.
Break students into groups of two to four. Give each group three to four colors of playdough and a small plastic knife to trim the edges of their models. Have them follow along on their student worksheets. Provide colored pencils that are the same color as the playdough to help them sketch their layers.
First, have groups stack their playdough into thin layers 0.5-1 cm thick and 5-6 cm wide on each side. The plastic knife can be used to create clean edges.
Have students apply pressure to the short sides of the block of playdough, causing it to deform into a wavy structure. Model erosion over time by trimming horizontally roughly 1 centimeter off the top of the block, exposing the layers underneath.

Have students draw what they see in the empty box on part 1 of their worksheet. Tell students that a syncline is the part of the structure where the arms of the fold turn upward, like a smile, while the anticline is where the arms fold downward. Then have them draw a dotted line at the center axis, or "hinge line," of their sketched structure. Prompt students to explain which of the exposed colors are younger versus older.

Cut another centimeter off your block, this time vertically from the top to the bottom at an angle, shaving off the forward-facing side of your model. Notice that the newly exposed layers are no longer on the same plane. These are called plunging synclines and anticlines, and they occur when the folds dip in or out of the ground. Have students draw this new perspective of their model in the empty box on part 2 of their worksheet.
Students trim off another side of their block to reveal the synclines and anticlines in their model. Image credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech | + Expand image
Have students create a fresh set of layers and once more apply pressure from the short sides of the block, but this time making the waves lean to one side. As before, they should model erosion by trimming away the front face of their block vertically from top to bottom. The exposed layers should now look like a wave leaning to one side. This is called an asymmetrical syncline and anticline. Have students draw their observations in part 3 of their worksheet and explain how they could tell the difference between an asymmetrical and symmetrical fold just from the top view.

Lastly, with the old block or with a new set of layers, have students cut through their block from top to bottom at an angle. This cut will represent a fault. Have students slide one side so that it's lower than the other and lightly push the sides back together. Have students erode away another centimeter from the top of their model, which will produce layers that no longer match up on any side. Students should draw their model in the empty box on part 4 of their worksheet. Have students explain how they can use the top view to determine which side of the fault was uplifted.

Discussion
How would you be able to determine if you had a syncline or an anticline if you only had the top view of your model, which is often all geologists can see when out in the field? Consider creating a playdough model to show students to help them make a determination.
Again, thinking only of the top view, how could you tell if you were walking above a normal syncline or anticline (like in Model 1) versus a plunging fold (like in Model 2)? What about an asymmetrical one (like in Model 3). Hint: think about the surface area exposed after your cut.
From your fault model (Model 4), can you determine which side of the rock moved upward or downward from the top view? What type of pressure would have caused this – pulling the pieces apart (divergent) or pushing them together (convergent)?
Assessment
Although student responses will vary, Model 1 should show parallel lines on the top and sides, while in Model 2, the lines should be leaning forward or backward. Conversely to Model 2, Model 3 will have symmetry on the top and side but not on the front of the diagrams, as the fold should lean to the left or right. Model 4 will show a cut in the middle of their diagram with disconnected layers throughout.

Soccer, the beautiful game, not only captivates millions of fans around the world with its thrilling matches but also offers an exciting opportunity for sports betting enthusiasts. Betting on soccer matches can add an extra layer of excitement to the game and, if done strategically, can lead to substantial profits. However daftar sbobet successful soccer betting is not just about luck; it's about employing winning strategies and gaining an edge over the bookmakers. In this article, we will explore some effective soccer betting strategies that can give you that coveted winning edge when using platforms like SBOBET.
1. Research and Analysis
Knowledge is power in soccer betting. Start by thoroughly researching the teams, players, and competitions you intend to bet on. Study past match statistics, team performance, injury reports, and head-to-head records. Analyze the form of the teams, both home and away, as well as their recent performance trends. The more you know, the better you can make informed betting decisions.
2. Understand the Odds
Before placing a bet, it's crucial to understand how odds work. Odds represent the bookmakers' assessment of the probability of an event occurring. Familiarize yourself with different types of odds formats, such as fractional, decimal, and moneyline odds. A deep understanding of odds will help you assess the value of a bet and determine if it's worth the risk.
3. Bet on Markets You Understand
Soccer offers a wide range of betting markets, from simple win-draw-win bets to more complex options like Asian Handicaps and Over/Under goals. It's essential to focus on markets you understand well. If you have a deep knowledge of a specific league or team, consider specializing in that area. Specialization allows you to spot valuable opportunities that others might miss.
4. Bankroll Management
Effective bankroll management is a fundamental aspect of successful soccer betting. Set a budget for your betting activities and stick to it. Avoid chasing losses by betting more than you can afford. Many experienced bettors recommend risking no more than 1-2% of your total bankroll on a single bet. This conservative approach helps protect your funds during losing streaks.
5. Value Betting
Value betting involves identifying bets where the odds offered by the bookmaker are higher than the actual probability of the outcome occurring. This strategy requires a keen understanding of the sport and the ability to spot discrepancies in the odds. Look for opportunities where bookmakers may have underestimated a team's chances or overestimated an underdog.
6. Asian Handicaps
Asian Handicap betting is a popular choice for soccer enthusiasts. It levels the playing field by giving one team a goal advantage or disadvantage. This strategy minimizes the possibility of a draw, providing a clearer outcome. Asian Handicap betting can be especially useful when there is a clear favorite, but the odds for that team are not favorable.
7. In-Play Betting
Live or in-play betting allows you to place bets while a match is in progress. It's an excellent strategy for gaining an edge because you can assess the flow of the game and make informed decisions based on real-time events. Pay attention to factors like momentum shifts, injuries, and tactical adjustments during the match.
8. Bet Against Public Sentiment
Sometimes, betting against the public sentiment can be a smart move. When the majority of bettors favor one team, bookmakers may adjust the odds to attract more bets on the opposing side. This can lead to more favorable odds for the less popular team. If your research suggests that the public sentiment is biased, consider betting against the crowd.
9. Keep Emotions in Check
Emotions can be a bettor's worst enemy. Avoid making impulsive bets based on personal biases or gut feelings. Stick to your research and analysis, even if it contradicts your initial inclinations. Successful bettors remain disciplined and objective, focusing on data and strategy rather than emotions.
10. Track Your Bets
Maintain a detailed record of your betting activities. Document your bets, including the type of bet, odds, stake, and outcome. This record-keeping allows you to evaluate your betting performance over time, identify patterns, and make necessary adjustments to your strategy.
Conclusion:
Soccer betting can be a rewarding endeavor when approached with a strategic mindset. By conducting thorough research, understanding odds, specializing in specific markets, practicing effective bankroll management, and employing strategies like value betting and Asian Handicaps, you can gain a significant edge over the bookmakers. In-play betting and contrarian strategies can further enhance your chances of success. Remember that successful soccer betting is a long-term endeavor that requires discipline, patience, and continuous learning. With the right strategies and a commitment to ongoing improvement, you can turn soccer betting into a profitable and enjoyable pastime while using platforms like SBOBET to your advantage. | eng | 2c690e2f-0007-4b13-9d18-9169b9b80c36 | https://kankensbackpacks.com/soccer-betting-strategies-a-winning-edge/ |

Id assume it's very difficult to get into the gun manufacturing business, and even tougher to overcome brand loyalty popular brands have, and skepticism customers will have buying a brand they never heard of.
Guns are in short supply now but the last two years of Obama's and the first two years of trump's presidency had some of the best gun deals since I've been alive. Colt 6920s at sub 800 dollars, used glocks at sub 400 during a lot of that time frame.
PwnedCakes - I know guns are in extremely short supply now with Biden being (wink wink, nod nod) elected. But they've basically been in short supply as long as I can remember. All through Obama's presidency for sure. If they are in short supply, then prices are higher, meaning there should be a market for more companies to get into the fray and start making and selling guns. Why have more companies not stepped up to make that extra $$$? Has capitalism failed us?
Just curious.
Thanks!
You are misremembering.
18 months ago there was no shortage of firearms or ammo. It's panic buying, pure and simple. In another 18 months the buying frenzy will have subsided and you will see shelves stocked againYes, but only X per day. And the companies aren't going to add machinery or hire more people so they can run the machines 24/7 because this is being driven by people acting stupid. Panic buying. They know that once the panic subsides, and it WILL, then demand will drop to the point where they once again can make more than the channel will buy.
Nothing artificial about it. Supply could not meet the sudden demand from democrat riots and the threat to defund police.
The ammo situation is even worse. Supply and prices were perfectly normal in 2019
This right here. Even some ultra liberals I know have purchased guns this year. Nobody wants to fall victim to "mostly peaceful" protesters invading your neighborhood
I want to point out that I also know ultra liberals that purchased firearms and will still vote in restrictive laws. When an ultra liberal guy buys a firearm, they do so to generally "feel safe." Buy a Glock 17 and couple boxes of ammo and then it sits in their safe for just in case. No training, no diving into the subculture. Things like the handgun roster, ammo background checks, evil features on a rifle (for CA) don't really apply to them. And we rarely care about something that doesn't apply to us.
And for the rest of the US, before you know it, you may see CA type restrictions coming your way. Wouldn't shock me in the least. It really boggled my mind when Biden released his gun safety laws he wanted to push out and it dawned on me that he would have never released that if it threatened his chance at presidency. It strengthened his position. Which means, most people, including many gun owners, are for or indifferent to further gun restrictions. Because "I got mine, fuck you"No clue as to the particulars. I imagine Glock (or whoever) limits the quantity it sells to stores and other 3rd party sellers as a means to artificially drive the price up. Perhaps, the same as ammo. As you said, it seems to just be casted/stamped parts so with such a great demand, one would think they could easily ramp up productionAll those cunts who hoarded that TP and haven't side sold it now just have a lifetime supply. So they no longer need guns or ammo at least not for a set amount of time in which they would've still purchased said guns and ammo just in a longer stretch you fat buffoon. | eng | 0a2aec2a-4f42-41ea-bcc4-2be046a89ab6 | https://forums.mixedmartialarts.com/t/why-are-guns-always-in-such-short-supply/2857929?page=2 |
this post is about how to use tax exempt on amazon. This is not an article or tutorial on how to use tax exempt on amazon, this is a how to article.
When tax exempt is on amazon, you are required to use the standard Amazon shopping cart. But, for a tax refund, it can be helpful to use a different tool if you don't have a shopping cart. Like for example, if you are using tax exempt on amazon to buy something from amazon that is not on the standard Amazon shopping cart, but you do have a tax exempt account, you can get free shipping.
If you are a regular user of tax exempt on amazon, please remember that this is not an article or tutorial on how to use tax exempt on amazon. This is more of an article on how to use tax exempt on amazon.
This is of course one of those things, where you can choose to do it in two ways: a) Make a tax exempt on amazon account which is set up for the purpose of making a tax refund, and b) Make a direct Amazon purchases from amazon. I personally do not recommend doing the second, because it can be a pain in the ass to do.
The first thing you should do is go to tax exempt on amazon.amazon.com, log in to your Amazon account, and then click "add to cart". (I do this step because it's easy, but I'll make it short.
Then go to pay using your credit card on amazon.amazon.com. From there, you can follow the steps listed above. I don't recommend doing this step, because you will still be charged for the tax refund.
That being said, I do encourage you to go to amazon.com and look for the "tax exempt on amazon" section. It will help you decide if you're going to be OK with the charge, because it will either say "yes" or "no". I have done this for years, and I'm pretty happy with how it works out.
This is an area where you will have to decide what you want to do with the money. You can use it to pay for a tax refund, or you can use it to pay for amazon.com purchases. Either way, it will help you decide if you want to use the tax exemption to make things easier on yourself. If you want to use the tax exempt to make things easier on yourself, then you have to put up a blog to tell people how you did it.
Amazon is only allowed to use tax-exempt money for purchases on Amazon.com. That's because Amazon is a public charity, so all the money it receives is tax-exempt money. However, Amazon accepts donations (via Paypal) for all purchases from Amazon.com as well as from other retailers. So if you want to use the tax-exempt to buy amazon.com purchases, you have to make sure you register your tax-exempt money with Amazon | eng | 158bd7eb-d1ca-4c40-9048-96fa0c4ef3a8 | https://kevinlikes.com/how-to-use-tax-exempt-on-amazon/ |

Mental Wellness – What You Ought To Understand About Mental Disease
Posted on by
Mental health is a term used to define the general wellness of a person. It includes their physical, emotional, as well as social health and wellbeing. It establishes exactly how well they deal with anxietyand interpersonal connections, and also how well they choose. Below is what you ought to know regarding mental disorder You might be amazed to find out that many individuals have this problem. There are many false impressions about psychological health problem Thankfully, there are several means to learn more about mental health and wellness and enhance your condition.
Understanding mental disease.
If you are not getting the therapy you need, you may be experiencing a mental disorder. Unattended psychological health problem can cause numerous troubles, including drug abuse, homelessness, and also unsuitable incarceration. The good news is, much of the very best therapies for mental disorders can assist people significantly boost their quality of life and also obtain back on their feet. This post will offer you some info on mental illness as well as just how to identify it. After that, you can get the help you require to live a complete, fulfilling life.
Frequency of mental disorder.
Several large surveys have been performed to approximate the frequency of mental health problems. These researches use self-reported signs and symptoms to estimate occurrence and also severity of each condition. These surveys typically occur over the telephone. The authors of the meta-analysis caution that while the frequency of mental disease is enhancing, it is still a little minority of the complete populace. They attribute this to changes in demographics as well as therapy approaches. For instance, the frequency of schizophrenia and major clinical depression are substantially more than their particular ages.
Therapy options
There are lots of treatment alternatives for psychological illness, but they all have the same objective: to obtain you to really feel better. For individuals with milder problems, your medical care provider can deal with the concern. For more extreme issues, like schizophrenia, a group technique ought to be utilized. Treatment alternatives may include psychological drugs. While psychologicalmedicines do not treat a mental disorder, they can aid with symptoms as well as make various other treatments extra reliable. The ideal drug relies on your symptoms as well as body reaction.
Misconceptions about mental disorder
Myths regarding mental disorder provide embarassment for individuals experiencing from the problem. Regrettably, these myths are not necessarily real, and also we have to work to eliminate them. Among the most effective methods to eliminate these myths is by educating ourselves and also others about real nature of psychological ailment. One in 5 people will experience some kind of psychological health concern throughout any kind of given year. One in every 25 individuals has a serious mental disease, such as bipolar illness, schizophrenia, or significant anxiety.
Obstacles to looking for assistance
This study examined the barriers trainees face when seeking mental health and wellness treatment. The chances that a person will certainly seek treatment were significantly connected with the variety of obstacles and their professional attributes. However, it was necessary to keep in mind that several of one of the most typical barriers had no organizations with the odds of getting psychological health and wellness therapy. Thankfully, there are numerous ways to reduce the probability of not seeking therapy. These techniques are detailed listed below. Having a mental illness should not be a reason not to look for help.

How Breast Enlargement Pills Work to Enlarge Breast Size methods of increasing your breast size is the threatening surgery. It's dangerous, it's expensive and it might have side effects that only become visible in years. Most women choose to avoid it. Lately, herbal breast enlargement pills have been heavily advertised and they raised the interest of many women.
Since pills seem to be cheaper and safer than surgery, women looking for bust enlargement finally hope that they could see their dream come true. However, some women still have their doubts and wonder how herbal breast enlargement pills work to increase breast size. Once you understand their working principle, it might be easy to evaluate their potential effectiveness or side effects.
Herbal breast enlargement pills actually trick your body into believing that it has more estrogen than it really has. Estrogen is a hormone responsible with the size of your breast. You have probably noticed that during period or during pregnancy, women have firmer and fuller breast. This is because the amount of estrogen in the body is higher. Herbs contained by bust enlargement products contain a substance called phytoestrogen, which actually substitutes the real estrogen in the body. Mainly, this is the secret behind the efficacy of herbal breast enlargement pills. Phytoestrogen seems to have the same effect on the human body as estrogen, so a bust enlargement is promoted.
Not all the herbal breast enlargement pills that are on the market work. There are also ineffective ones and in order to indeed achieve your goal it is best to choose a product that is known for also helping other women. You can also check the herbs it contains because even though it's less likely than in synthetic drugs, herbal pills can also have side effects. If you are not sure on what you should use for bust enlargement, it might be wise to check with a specialist.
Herbal breast enlargement pills are going to be even more effective if you combine them with exercises for the bust. Avoid coffee and cigarettes while taking such pills and keep in mind that it might take a few weeks or months before the result can be seen | eng | 59dc0f9b-9221-4c64-b616-4315e2418254 | https://www.zendo-coffee.com/2022/10/19/how-breast-enlargement-pills-work-to-enlarge-breast-size/ |
The ORA-01555 Error: A PL/SQL Developer Solution
he "ORA-01555 snapshot too old" error, which causes user transactions to fail, is a nightmare for Oracle DBAs and developers. It usually occurs after queries or batch processes have been running for a long time, which means that it can cause you to lose many hours of processing.
In my previous 10-Minute Solution on this subject, "The ORA-01555 Error: A DBA Solution," I explained the causes of this error and described two examples of how to avoid it from the DBA's perspective.
In this 10-Minute Solution, I show you a third example: how to avoid the ORA-01555 error programmatically?that is, from the PL/SQL developer's perspective.
How do you avoid the ORA-01555 error, which is hard to recreate and crops up inconsistently?
From the developer's perspective, you can restructure your PL/SQL code to avoid fetching across commits that cause the ORA-01555 error.
How the Error Occurs Recently I've been working on optimizing the DeleteClassification stored procedure. It works mainly with two tables?ValidTransaction (parent) and Classification (child)?which are in a one-to-many relationship with the TransactionId foreign key.
The purpose of this stored procedure is to delete Classification records for all ValidTransactions that fall within a specified period/month. Using the TransactionDate field from the ValidTransaction table selects records in the date range. In my case, ValidTransaction contains data for 12 periods (one year) with 1.2 million rows total (100,000 rows per month on average). The Classification table has 10 rows on average for one row in the ValidTransaction table, with 12 million rows total. Cleaning up the Classification data for a specified period/month means deleting 1 million rows from the Classification table.
This presents two major problems:
Execution is slow. It takes about 30 minutes to delete 1 million Classification records from a total of 12 million records.
The "ORA-01555: snapshot too old" error keeps cropping up. Although it happens only occasionally, whenever it does so it always occurs during the last six minutes of the run. The error occurs on the line where data is fetched from the cursor (also shown in red in Listing 1):
fetch TransactToReset into v_TransactionId;
Listing 1 shows a simplified version of the original DeleteClassification stored procedure. TransactionId values are selected into the TransactToReset cursor for all rows in the ValidTransaction table within a specified month. Then these TransactionIds are fetched into the v_TransactionId variable and are deleted one by one. The v_LoopIndex variable is used to count deleted records and commit every one-hundred of them.Modifying the DeleteClassification Procedure: First Iteration The TransactToReset cursor definition can be improved to eliminate the inefficient DISTINCT clause, which forces an extra step of sorting and eliminating duplicates. Moreover, the original query joins two tables, ValidTransaction and Classification, even though it returns data only from the ValidTransaction table.
I've decided to use a correlated subquery with an EXISTS clause instead of joining tables. This is much more efficient and results in significant performance gains.
Here is the modified version of the TransactToReset cursor found in Listing 1:
I've also decided to utilize some of Oracle 8i PL/SQL's new features, such as BULK BINDS and BULK COLLECT (described in my previous 10-Minute Solution, "New PL/SQL Features in Oracle 8i: Part II"). These features improve the performance and also increase the number of rows committed in one transaction, thus decreasing the number of transactions and lowering the probability of the ORA-01555 error.
Fetching across commits is a common and accepted practice in the Oracle programming world, even though it's not an ANSI-supported operation. Read on…
I use the LIMIT clause to limit the number of rows fetched (see sidebar) from the cursor to a p_CommitBatchSize value, which is passed as a parameter. Using 10,000 as a default value of p_CommitBatchSize, 100,000 TransactionId values are retrieved in 10 bulk fetches versus 100,000 fetches in the original version. Moreover, using the BULK BINDS feature (FORALL clause), 100,000 TransactionId values are sent to the SQL engine in 10 batches, as opposed to 100,000 individual batches, as before. That leads to a significant performance gain.
The improved procedure executes 20 percent faster and the ORA-01555 error occurs less frequently. However, I cannot eradicate the error completely, even though I've reduced the number of transactions from 1,000 to 10. ORA-01555 errors still occur inconsistently during the day when transactional activity is high due to other users' activity.
Modifying the DeleteClassification Procedure: Second Iteration It's clear that we can't leave the cursor open for fetching while we keep processing data and committing data changes. In order to eliminate this error completely, you need to modify the code so it supports the following algorithm:
Listing 3 shows the final version of the DeleteClassification stored procedure. Now the whole TransactToReset cursor is fetched into the v_TransactionId PL/SQL table in one step using the BULK COLLECT clause. Then the cursor is closed immediately. This way you avoid fetching across commits and you eliminate the ORA-01555 error completely. In addition, the procedure's execution time becomes about 24 minutes, which is 20 percent faster than with the original version.
As you can see, restructuring PL/SQL code in combination with new Oracle 8i features, such as BULK BINDS and BULK COLLECT, allows you to eliminate the ORA-01555 error as well as significantly improve database performance | eng | 64f13d2e-0d5d-4b22-ae60-eb9b72d224b9 | https://www.devx.com/get-help/16600/ |

Gwen Petreman heads up this coalition and is quick to point out the tremendous benefits of the cost-free efforts of the partnership.
Trees and gardens make a tremendous difference in the health of our community. A living tree absorbs up to 57,000 gallons of water a day, she says. Their roots absorb chemicals and fruit trees stimulate activities for bees resulting in increased pollination.
Trees purify the air; they help to reduce the negative effects of climate change. They positively affect our respiratory and cardiovascular health. Trees are a simple solution to the environmental ups and downs of drought and flooding caused by our uncertain climate these days. And planting native trees and plants make any project practically maintenance free. Planted in their natural environment, trees and plants need no maintenance.
Armed with all these reasons, volunteers have been planting trees and plants all over Barrie, protecting watercourses, stimulating water table retention, and increasing the environmental health of our city.
For instance, the Urban Canopy folks planted over 1000 native plants along the creeks at Queen's Park this spring. They also planted oaks, spruce, pines and tamaracks along the Huronia Buffer located between McConkey and Bristow streets in April. Earlier that month they planted weeping willows and shrubs to aid in soil retention at Sunnidale Park.
Volunteers who help in these projects tend to be different groups for each planting. They connect with Gwen through Living Green's facebook page… You can register as a volunteer on the website.
A month from today, October 5, volunteers will begin work on the Environmentally Protected Land at Loon Ave in the south end. They'll plant native saplings. Gwen pointed out that at the Huronia project, Barrie Chiropractic sponsored the final planting of 1000 trees. Their staff actually assisted in the planting, too.
She's looking for any level of corporate sponsorship from area businesses, and of course is always signing up volunteers.
A retired teacher, Gwen has turned her hand to writing children's books, usually tied into an environmental theme. She has self published some of her books, and sought excellent illustrators to make her words come alive. Her stories blend environmental realities to child empowerment for change.
Gwen, in keeping with her commitment to Living Green, is donating 10% of every book sale to the organization this fall.
She believes that children will be true game changers in environmental efforts like the Urban Canopy Coalition. She's always happy during a planting to see youngsters among the volunteers.

Protecting Yourself in a Nuclear Emergency with Potassium Iodide
If a nuclear incident strikes, are you protected? The FDA recommends potassium iodide to guard against thyroid cancer due to radioactive exposure, but most communities are unprepared. Here's what you can do.
The possibility of radioactive contamination from a device detonated by terrorists within the country's borders is a frightening scenario. In such an emergency, exposure to radioactive iodine is a haunting specter that could see many individuals succumb to thyroid cancer.1
Fortunately, a readily available, stable compound called potassium iodide can help protect you and your family against the dangerous radioactive iodine that can permeate the environment after a nuclear catastrophe. Safe, inexpensive, and highly effective, potassium iodide should be an essential part of every family's anti-terrorist emergency preparation strategy.
Nuclear Attack: Terrorist Threat
Evidence is mounting that terrorist organizations worldwide are aggressively working to obtain military-style nuclear weapons2 through the black market and from terrorism-sponsoring governments around the world.
Alarmingly, these devices could end up in the US or Europe through a number of potential schemes whereby various state sponsors of terrorism could distribute nuclear weapons to groups such as Al Qaeda. The detonation of these larger nuclear weapons could cause cataclysmic devastation in large urban areas, whereas those living in the periphery of such cities could receive radiation exposure that is less than lethal. In the short run, this type of exposure could lead to radiation sickness, while in the long run, it could contribute to a variety of diseases, such as thyroid cancer.
How would radiation released by a terrorist attack or a nuclear accident affect your health? A nuclear or radiological event can generate radioactive iodine, among other contaminants. Once released into the air, this radioactive element can be inhaled into the lungs. Radioactive iodine can also penetrate the food and water supply, leading to further contamination and potential exposure. Any of these pathways into the body can lead to what is called internal contamination. Once internal contamination with radioactive iodine occurs, the body immediately begins to absorb this compound. Nearly all of the absorption of radioactive iodine occurs in the thyroid gland, leading to thyroid damage and a dramatic increase in cancer risk, particularly for young children.1
The Thyroid Gland: Essential to Health
Preventing damage to the thyroid gland is critical to the short-term and long-term health of those exposed to radioactive iodine. Positioned at the base of the neck, the thyroid gland produces thyroid hormone, which has effects on every organ, tissue, and cell in the body. These effects include a variety of functions and mechanisms that impact on energy levels, heart rate, muscle strength, skin health, menstrual cycles, cognition, and cholesterol metabolism.
The thyroid gland is especially important to growing children. Not surprisingly, children are believed to be more vulnerable to the effects of radiation. Studies suggest that exposure to radioactive iodine during childhood is associated with a greatly increased risk of thyroid cancer in later life.3 Children not only have greater susceptibility to radiation-induced cancer, they also have a longer life span than adults, giving latent cancer a longer time frame in which to develop.
Potassium Iodide Offers Protection
Is there any way to protect against a less-than-lethal-exposure to nuclear radiation? Many experts believe that the compound potassium iodide can protect individuals from some of the harmful effects of radiation exposure. This protective effect occurs because potassium iodide blocks radioactive iodine from being absorbed by the thyroid gland.4 The thyroid cannot distinguish between radioactive iodine and potassium iodide. Once the potassium iodide is taken and the thyroid gland becomes saturated with the compound, no more radioactive iodine or potassium iodide can be absorbed for the next 24 hours.
Potassium iodide is therefore highly effective in protecting against the effects of radioactive iodine exposure.5 The rate at which potassium iodide is absorbed into the blood helps determine the effectiveness of the compound. It is critical how much time elapses between exposure or contamination with radioactive iodine and the use of potassium iodide. Clearly, the most rapid use of potassium iodide possible allows for the maximum protection against radioactive iodine. Its efficacy is greatest when administered immediately before the exposure, and it has greatly diminished clinical value when administered 12 hours or more after radiation exposure.
Potassium iodide cannot provide a protective effect once the thyroid gland has been destroyed by radioactive iodine.4 In addition, potassium iodide cannot protect other parts of the body from exposure to radioactive iodine nor can it protect against elements other than radioactive iodine.4
The thyroid gland.
Potassium iodide is a salt of the stable form of iodine, which is a naturally occurring chemical element that is used in the body to make thyroid hormones. The source of most of the iodine used in the body is from food. Potassium iodide is also a stable form of iodide that is used for medicinal purposes.
Potassium iodide is often added to table salt, known as "iodized" salt. Although this iodized salt contains sufficient iodine to keep most people healthy in most situations, it does not contain enough iodine to prevent radioactive iodine from entering the thyroid gland. Iodized table salt is therefore not a replacement for potassium iodide.
Using Potassium Iodide
Potassium iodide is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is available as an over-the-counter drug in liquid and tablet forms. The recommended doses usually range from 65 to 130 milligrams (mg), and potassium iodide tablets are available in 65 mg and 130 mg tablets. The liquid form provides 65 mg of potassium iodide in each milliliter (mL) of liquid.
What are the typical doses of potassium iodide? The FDA recommends the following doses before or following exposure and contamination with radioactive iodine:6
Newborns up to one month of age: 16 mg of potassium iodide, which would be one-fourth of a 65 mg tablet or a one-fourth dose of liquid
Infants between the ages of one month and three years: 32 mg, which would be one-half of a 65 mg tablet or a one-half dose of liquid
Children between the ages of 3 and 18 years: one 65 mg tablet or one mL solution
Adults: 130 mg, which could be one 130 mg tablet, two 65 mg tablets, or two mL of liquid
Breastfeeding mothers: 130 mg
Children who weigh more than 150 pounds: 130 mg.
These doses described protect the thyroid gland for 24 hours. A one-time dose will likely be sufficient in most situations. If high levels of radioactivity persist in the environment or food supply, public health officials may recommend daily dosing as outlined above. Newborn infants, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers should be evacuated if radioactivity persists in the environment, and should not receive additional doses of potassium iodide unless other protective measures (such as evacuation, sheltering, and control of the food supply) are unavailable.
Potassium iodide has generally been found to be safe when administered in recommended doses. Higher doses of potassium iodide do not increase protection against radioactive iodine. In adults and children at risk for exposure to radioactive iodine, the overall benefits of potassium iodide far exceed the risks of overdosing. Closely monitoring the dose in infants, however, is particularly important.6
Administration of potassium iodide to newborns has been associated with changes in thyroid hormone levels, so their thyroid function should be monitored.6 Individuals who are allergic to iodine and those who have certain skin, kidney, or thyroid conditions should consult a physician before using potassium iodide.7
Protecting Yourself in a Nuclear Emergency: What You Need to Know
The threat of a nuclear attack is ever present in the United States. Those who survive a nuclear attack may succumb to the short-term and long-term effects of radiation exposure, such as radiation sickness and thyroid cancer.
One dangerous contaminant released by a nuclear event is radioactive iodine. Radioactive iodine can enter the body through food, water, or air. Once in the body, radioactive iodine accumulates in the thyroid gland, where it contributes to harmful processes such as thyroid cancer.
You can protect yourself against radioactive iodine by using a salt called potassium iodide. By saturating the thyroid gland, potassium iodide prevents the gland's uptake of dangerous radioactive iodine.
Potassium iodide is most effective when used before or immediately after exposure to radioactive iodine. Potassium iodide does not protect against other radioactive agents.
Potassium iodide is FDA-approved and may be used by children and adults. Maintaining a supply of potassium iodide is an essential component of a radiological emergency plan.
Chernobyl Demonstrates Safety of Potassium Iodide
One of the best evaluations of the safety of potassium iodide use occurred following the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident in 1986. Some 16 million persons living in nearby Poland were given single doses of potassium iodide as a preventive measure following the accident.8 Researchers investigating the accident found that potassium iodide supplementation reduced the dose of radiation in the thyroid by at least 40%. Furthermore, they found only rare instances of side effects in this population. In general, the side effects associated with the proper use of potassium iodide included mild gastrointestinal symptoms and rashes.
Emergency Preparation with Potassium Iodide
Whether radioactive release is from a nuclear power plant accident, a terrorist attack on a nuclear power plant, or from the detonation of a nuclear bomb, potassium iodide plays a key role in emergency preparedness.
Rapid evacuation is the best way to prevent whole-body exposure to radiation from these sources. Evacuation protects the entire body rather than specific areas of the body. However, when radioactive emergencies occur, rapid evacuation or protective sheltering is not always possible, and this is when access to potassium iodide supplementation becomes so important. In these circumstances, potassium iodide supplementation is an inexpensive, safe, and logical preventive measure against radioactive iodine. It should be noted that potassium iodide is ineffective for other radionuclide exposures.
The United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission has developed a policy that ensures adequate stockpiles of potassium iodide for populations within a 10-mile radius of every nuclear power plant in the United States. In general, government distribution of potassium iodide and emergency preparedness involving its use have been less than ideal. A recent study found that potassium iodide distribution was poor in an area near two nuclear power plants.9 These researchers also found that the New Jersey community in question had highly variable knowledge about how to use potassium iodide prophylactically following a nuclear accident.
FDA approval of over-the-counter potassium iodide opens the door for individuals and communities to acquire this agent to provide for their own emergency planning. This planning should include knowledge of the proper prophylactic use of potassium iodide among all those concerned with emergency preparedness, including local public health authorities, physicians, emergency personnel, and individuals.

For the gst part you can write it as a set of sinks, sources and
bins/pipelines. Then you can test each component independently by using
test sources, fake sinks, or example media files.
I find it nice to launch the gobject event loop in a separate thread,
then I can execute some code in that thread using gobject.idle_add() (I
actually use a decorator which takes care of that, as well as not
returning a True value so that the code is not executed repeatedly)...
Thus the bulk of my test suite is still written in a synchronous style.
To communicate results from the event loop I use a Queue. I put the
value in the queue at the desired place in the asynchronous event flow
(probably in a signal callback); in the main thread I do a queue.get()
with a timeout.
To give an example this is the code for a very simplistic test.
"to_av_loop" is the aforementioned decorator.
def test10():
# AV loop
q = Queue()
@to_av_loop
def f():
q.put(1)
f()
assert q.get(True, 1.0) == 1
Here is a less empty test. It checks if a decoder is able to decode a
given file. You don't need to know the details of the helper functions
("_filesrc()", etc.) which are quite straightforward.
def test1():
# Ogg Vorbis file
q = Queue()
src = _filesrc(_ogg_file())
decoder = _decoder()
sink = _fakesink()
pipeline = _linear_pipeline(src, decoder, sink)
def _src_pad_ready(*_):
q.put(1)
decoder.connect("src-pad-ready", _src_pad_ready)
pipeline.set_state(gst.STATE_PLAYING)
try:
assert q.get(True, 1.0) == 1
finally:
pipeline.set_state(gst.STATE_NULL)
(note: I use nosetest -
- rather than
Python's unittest but the advice should still apply)

Poo Vs Porn!
I was told recently by someone very close to me that I don't contribute to society in any way because of what I do. Is this true? Do I do NOTHING for society as a porn star?
In an episode of Jackass I remember witnessing Johnny Knoxville lick a ding-a-ling (a piece of poo dried to hair) off of a farm animal. Last week I made sweet, passionate love to a beautiful man, and it happened to of been filmed. Which person contributes less to society? Now don't think I am knocking Johnny Knoxville--he can be very entertaining. The point I am making is the moment it involves sex movies are labeled x-rated and nasty and inappropriate, yet eating doo doo is funny and hilarious and ok to show in mainstream theaters, as long as he's not having sex at the same time.
Isn't sex natural? And in general, doesn't everyone do it and really like it? And isn't eating poo unnatural and not very many people like to do it? I see. Let's show something totally off the wall that only a few human beings would attempt, and we'll rate it PG-13, meaning "most anyone can watch it." If it shows sex, we'll rate it X, meaning "nobody wants to or should be allowed to see this ridiculous, disgusting behavior."
It seems what we're saying is it's OK to be an entertainer and catapult yourself into the air in a port-a-potty or shove a toy car up your butt hole, but it's definitely not OK to be an entertainer in the sex industry. Those who lick poo get tons of money, movie deals and representation, and those in the sex industry get shunned and blurred out.
We're not all saints in this industry, but the mainstream movie industry isn't batting 1000 either. I'm not trying to get everyone to watch porn, but I want them to understand that we are a form of entertainment and people in our world vote and pay taxes just like everyone else. We're perfectly capable of leading normal, well educated lives. So hip-hip-hooray for the porn industry | eng | 0d44ebf0-ebce-4c4f-85e4-9c778253f967 | https://fleshbot.com/8765303/poo-vs-porn/ |

The students at Mountain View Elementary School decided that the time capsule they recently buried at the newly opened Haymarket Gainesville Community should contain a good representation of life in the early part of the 21st Century. So they found pictures of clothes, books, shoes, stores, restaurants, hairstyles, houses, phones and other mementos and used them to create collages that were made into five posters – one for each grade at the school.
Fifth-grader Deanna Dominguez said she hoped people who dig up the time capsule in the future would see the posters and find them interesting. "I think they will think it was cool how we lived now compared to how they're living 50 years from now."
A plaque that marks the spot of the time capsule reads, "Time Capsule, Celebrating Completion of the Haymarket Gainesville Community Library, October 2015, Filled by Students of Mountain View Elementary School and the Friends of the Gainesville Library, Presented by Gainesville Supervisor Pete Candland."
Candland spoke to the children in an assembly before they buried the time capsule and told them he, too, thought future students would be interested in the capsule's contents. "Future kids will be able to open up this time capsule and get a sense of what life was like for all of you."
Candland encouraged the children to enjoy the new library. He said libraries are amazing places to learn, meet other people and prepare for the future. "A library is like an amusement park for your mind. It is a place that you can go and learn about all sorts of different places all over the world. It is so exciting. Life is about learning something new every single day, and that is the wonderful thing about a public library."
Fifth-grader Rylie Swenson said she thought the time capsule might give the future students ideas. "I think it will inspire them to do what we do. Maybe they'll be inspired to do a time capsule on how they lived."
Mountain View Elementary School Principal Adrian Harrison said the children had fun in gathering the stuff to put in the time capsule. "They're excited. It's so wonderful to have the children participate, and it really brings a partnership between the school and this new library that's right next door to us."
The children also put a little zip-lock plastic bag of dirt from the library groundbreaking into the capsule. | eng | 19a8d200-05c4-48dd-ab02-cac18b0b3bbf | https://whatsupwoodbridge.com/haymarket-students-unearth-time-capsule/ |

What to Consider When Buying Children's Roller Skates
When purchasing roller skates for your child, several factors must be considered to ensure that you choose the right pair. Here are some of the most important things to remember:
1. Size and Fit
Choosing the right size and fit ensures your child's safety and comfort while skating. It's essential to measure your child's foot and refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer to select the appropriate size.
Here's how to measure your child's foot.
First, have the child stand on a flat surface like paper or cardboard. Make sure their weight is evenly distributed on both feet.
Trace the outline of the child's foot using a pen or pencil held vertically. Ensure the pen is perpendicular to the paper and not angled.
Repeat the process for the other foot. Measuring both feet is essential, as they might be different sizes.
Using a ruler or measuring tape, measure the distance between the heel and the longest toe on each foot. Make sure to measure from the furthest point of each toe, even if it's not the big toe.
Take note of the measurements in either inches or centimeters, depending on your preference.
2. Wheel Type and Size
The type and size of the wheel will impact your child's skating experience. Roller skate wheels can be large, small, hard, or soft.
Larger wheels are better suited for outdoor skating, while smaller wheels are better for indoor use. The wheel's hardness will also affect the grip and speed of the skate.
Sure, here are the pros and cons of large wheels, small wheels, hard wheels, and soft wheels:
Large Wheels
Pros
Faster speed and better momentum due to the larger wheel circumference
Better suited for outdoor skating on rough surfaces, as they can handle bumps and cracks better than smaller wheels
Easier to maintain speed with larger wheels
Cons:
Harder to maneuver and turn compared to smaller wheels
Heavier than smaller wheels, making them less ideal for younger children or those who are new to skating
More difficult to stop quickly due to their larger size
Small Wheels:
Pros:
Easier to maneuver and turn compared to larger wheels
Lighter in weight, making them easier to handle for younger children or beginners
Better for indoor skating and smooth outdoor surfaces due to their small size
Cons:
Slower top speed compared to larger wheels
Less able to handle rough outdoor surfaces due to their smaller size
Can lose momentum more easily compared to larger wheels
Hard Wheels:
Pros:
Faster top speed and better momentum due to the hard wheel surface
Easier to maintain speed with hard wheels
Better for indoor skating and smooth outdoor surfaces due to their hard surface
Cons:
Less grip on surfaces compared to soft wheels, making them less ideal for outdoor skating on rough surfaces
More difficult to stop quickly due to their hard surface
Less shock absorption compared to soft wheels, leading to more discomfort during skating
Soft Wheels:
Pros:
Better grip on surfaces, making them ideal for outdoor skating on rough surfaces
Better shock absorption compared to hard wheels, leading to more comfort during skating
Easier to stop quickly due to their softer surface
Cons:
Slower top speed compared to hard wheels due to the softer surface
More difficult to maintain speed with soft wheels
More susceptible to wear and tear compared to hard wheels
3. Boot Material and Support
The material and level of support in the boot of the skate will impact your child's comfort and the overall performance of the skate. It's essential to consider the level of padding, ventilation, and ankle support when choosing a skate.
4. Closure System
The closure system will impact the skate's fit and ease of use. Common closure systems include laces, Velcro straps, and buckles, each with pros and cons.
Laces:
Pros:
Provide a customizable and secure fit
Can be adjusted to fit various foot shapes
Allow for more precise tightening or loosening of the skates
Offer a traditional and classic look
Cons:
Can be time-consuming to tie and untie, which can be frustrating for younger children
Laces can come undone during skating, which can be dangerous
May require adult assistance to tie properly
Velcro Straps:
Pros:
Quick and easy to use, making them ideal for younger children who may struggle with laces or buckles
Provide a snug and secure fit
Can be adjusted quickly and easily
Cons:
Velcro can wear out over time, causing the straps to become loose or ineffective
May not provide as secure a fit as laces or buckles
Velcro can become clogged with dust and dirt, reducing its effectiveness
Buckles:
Pros:
Offer a secure and adjustable fit
Are easy to use and can be adjusted quickly
Provide a modern and sleek look
Cons:
May require adult assistance to adjust properly
Can be difficult to use for children with smaller hands or weaker grip strength
May not provide as customizable a fit as laces
5. Brake Type and Position
The brake is an essential safety feature on roller skates. It's important to consider the type of brake and its position on the skate when selecting.
Roller skates have two common brakes: the toe brake and the heel brake.
The toe brake is located at the front of the skate and is operated by lifting the toes of the skate upward, causing the brake pad to come into contact with the ground. This type of brake is typically found on quad skates.
The heel brake is located at the back of the skate and is operated by pressing down on the skate's heel. This type of brake is typically found on inline skates.
Regarding position, the brake can be located on either the right or left skate or on both skates. Some skates also have adjustable brakes, allowing the user to position the brake where it feels most comfortable and effective.
When choosing a brake type and position, consider the skill level and preference of the child.
The toe brake may be easier for beginners to use and is more commonly found on quad skates, while more advanced skaters may prefer the heel brake which is typically found on inline skates.
The position of the brake should be comfortable for the child and allow for easy access when needed.
6. Intended use
Consider whether the skates will be used for recreational purposes or more competitive activities such as roller derby or roller hockey. Different types of skates may be more appropriate for different activities.
7. Experience level
If your child is a beginner, look for skates that offer more stability and support, such as quad skates or skates with a lower wheel size. More experienced skaters may prefer inline skates or skates with larger wheels for greater speed and maneuverability.
8. Terrain
Think about where your child will be skating. If they will be skating primarily indoors on a smooth surface, then skates with smaller wheels may be suitable.
If they will be skating outdoors on rougher surfaces, then skates with larger wheels and a softer durometer (wheel hardness) may be more appropriate.
9. Budget
Roller skates can vary greatly in price, from budget-friendly options to high-end skates that can cost hundreds of dollars. Consider your budget and look for skates that offer the features your child needs while staying within your price range.
10. Safety
Safety should always be a top priority when choosing roller skates for children. Look for skates with sturdy materials, good ankle support, and reliable brakes.
Make sure the skates fit properly to prevent injuries from falls or blisters. Finally, remember to invest in protective gear such as helmets, wrist guards, knee pads, and elbow pads.
Wear Protective Gear
Wearing a mouthguard to protect against dental injuries is also a good idea. Make sure the protective gear fits properly and is in good condition.
Choose Safe Surfaces
Where your child's roller skates can significantly impact their safety, make sure they skate on smooth, level surfaces free from debris.
Avoid skating on busy roads or uneven surfaces. If your child is just starting, choosing a skating rink or a designated skating area is a good idea.
Learn the Basics
Before your child starts roller skating, make sure they understand the basics. Teach them how to stop, turn, and maintain their balance. It's also important to teach them how to fall safely and get up without injuring themselves.
Stay Alert and Aware
While roller skating, it's essential for your child to stay alert and aware of their surroundings.
They should know of any obstacles, other skaters, or hazards that could cause injury. Encourage your child to skate at a safe speed and avoid reckless behavior.
Skate with Supervision
Finally, children need to skate with adult supervision. Make sure there is always a responsible adult present when your child is roller skating. This will ensure that your child follows safety guidelines and can get help if needed.

How to Maintain Children's Roller Skates
Roller skating is a fun activity for children, but it's important to keep their skates well-maintained to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience. Here are some tips on how to maintain your child's roller skates.
1. Clean Skates Regularly
It's important to clean your child's roller skates regularly to keep them in good condition. Dirt and debris can accumulate on the skates, causing damage to the wheels and bearings.
To clean the skates, wipe them down with a damp cloth after each use. Use a soft-bristled brush to remove any dirt or debris from the wheels and bearings. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that can damage the skates.
2. Check and Replace Parts
Regularly checking and replacing parts on your child's roller skates can help prolong their lifespan and ensure they're safe to use.
Check the wheels, bearings, and brake regularly for wear and tear. Replace any parts that are damaged or worn out.
You can also upgrade the parts on your child's skates to improve their performance. For example, upgrading to faster bearings can make the skates roll smoother and faster.
3. Store Skates Properly
Properly storing your child's roller skates can help prevent damage and prolong their lifespan. When not in use, store the skates in a cool, dry place.
Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, as this can cause the materials to warp or crack. You can also use a skate bag to keep the skates protected and organized.
Frequently Asked Questions About Children's Roller Skates
How often should I replace my child's roller skates?
The frequency of replacing roller skates for kids depends on several factors, such as the frequency and intensity of use, the quality of the skates, and the child's growth rate. Generally, if the skates are well-maintained and not showing signs of wear and tear, they can last for 1-2 years.
However, if the skates are heavily used or the child has outgrown them, replacement may be necessary sooner. It's important to regularly check the condition of the skates and replace any worn or damaged parts to ensure your child's safety while skating.

Nighttime driving: What you should know
While you may be familiar with navigating the West Virginia roadways after the sun has set, you may be unaware of the dangers that come from driving at night. Not only does the lack of sunlight lead to vision difficulties, but the increased number of drowsy, drunk and distracted drivers on the road leads to an increased fatality rate.
According to the National Safety Council, more than 50% of motor vehicle accident deaths occur at night, even though you only spend 25% of your time driving during nighttime hours. It is important to know how to drive at night and be aware of potential dangers so you can minimize your risk of becoming involved in a deadly accident.
What are the risks?
The absence of natural sunlight can make it difficult for you to see properly, affecting your peripheral vision and depth perception. This is especially true if you are over the age of 50, as you require twice as much light to see as a 30 year old. It can be hard to judge the distance and speed of an oncoming vehicle, so it is critical to be extremely cautious. Although the streets are filled with headlights and streetlights, the bright artificial light may actually compromise your sight.
Furthermore, there are more drowsy drivers on the road at night. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 103 million people admit to falling asleep at the wheel, and 60% of drivers say they have driven while drowsy. Drunk and distracted drivers are more prevalent on the roads at night as well.
What should you do?
There are some steps you can take to reduce your chances of getting into an accident. The NSC recommends the following:
Have your vision checked regularly
Avoid driving distractions, such as using your cellphone, programming your radio and eating
Get plenty of sleep and avoid driving if tired
Avoid driving at night if possible
Remain extremely cautious
It is important to take your time and drive safe so you can arrive at your destination unharmed. | eng | a2cbef45-bc74-4dbb-914c-30ba6e44f717 | https://www.ellislawoffices.com/blog/2021/03/nighttime-driving-what-you-should-know/ |

Truck Tire Air Pressure: Why Proper Inflated Tire is so Important?
Truck Tire Air Pressure: Why Proper Inflated Tire is so Important?
The air pressure in your tires plays a fundamental row in the operation of your truck. Tire inflation is the first rule of vehicle safety that you should always remember to check and keep right. The right tire pressure will ensure that your truck works how it was designed efficiently while also extending the age of your tires. Make sure that the pressure is right at the tire manufacturer's recommended air pressure level. In the long run, this practice will also increase the safety of your vehicle and gas savings.
What can cause tire inflation changes? There are factors that can affect tire pressure and some are non-avoidable. The temperature can change your PSI (Pounds of force per square inch), approximately 1 PSI every time there is a 10-degree temperature change. Depending on where you live, the temperature can change drastically in each season. From summer to Winter up to 5 PSI can change depending on the weather changes. Time is also another consideration with about 1 PSI affected per month. This is why regular tire pressure checks should be practiced normally.
Underinflation
Believe it or not, underinflation is the most common pressure issue with tires. In fact, it is probably the reason why your previous tires did not last as long as they should have. About 95% of tire failures are caused by underinflation. Especially if your truck is used for heavy work daily, driving with underinflated trucks can be very dangerous and lead to unexpected incidents. A temperature 20 degrees warmer than usual means your operating a vehicle with tire pressure that is 10% lower than usual. This can lead to damaging your internal tire structure from heat buildup. In the worst cases, it can even lead to tire blowouts.
Overinflation
We have to remember that the tires are carrying the truck at all times. The right tires for the job are crucial and so is the air pressure the specific tires require. Overinflation is less risky than underinflation, but you still need to avoid it. This causes tight tires meaning that they will be weaker, increasing the chances of punctures. The tire footprint will change and affect the tire traction. Overinflation will reduce your tire life by up to 15% and is also a safety concern.

The Link Between Untreated Lyme Disease and Cardiac Complications for causing cardiac complications.
Lyme disease primarily affects the musculoskeletal and nervous systems, but it can also affect the heart. The bacteria can invade the heart muscle, causing various cardiac problems. Studies have shown that approximately 4-10% of Lyme disease patients develop Lyme carditis, an inflammation of the heart tissue.
One of the most common cardiac complications associated with Lyme disease is heart block. Heart block occurs when the electrical signals that regulate the heart's rhythm are disrupted or slowed down. This can lead to a slow heart rate or even a complete blockage of the electrical impulses between the upper and lower chambers of the heart. As a result, the heart may not pump blood efficiently, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, fainting, and shortness of breath.
In addition to heart block, Lyme carditis can also cause other heart conditions such as myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle), pericarditis (inflammation of the sac surrounding the heart), and cardiomyopathy (weakening of the heart muscle). These conditions can have serious implications for a person's cardiovascular health, potentially leading to heart failure or even sudden cardiac death if left untreated.
Recognizing the link between untreated Lyme disease and cardiac complications is crucial for early intervention and proper treatment. However, diagnosing Lyme carditis can be challenging as its symptoms can mimic other heart conditions or even go unnoticed in some cases. Physicians must maintain a high index of suspicion for Lyme disease, especially in areas where it is endemic, when evaluating patients with cardiac symptoms.
If Lyme carditis is suspected, specific tests, including blood serology, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and electrocardiogram (ECG), may be used to confirm the diagnosis. Once diagnosed, treatment typically involves a course of antibiotics, such as doxycycline or amoxicillin, which are effective against the Lyme bacteria. In severe cases, hospitalization and the administration of antibiotics intravenously may be necessary.
Preventing Lyme disease through tick avoidance is the best strategy to reduce the risk of developing cardiac complications. This includes using insect repellents, wearing protective clothing, checking for ticks after spending time outdoors, and promptly removing any attached ticks.
It is important to remember that Lyme disease is treatable, and early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can prevent the progression to cardiac complications. Seeking medical attention if you experience symptoms suggestive of Lyme disease, including joint pain, fever, headache, fatigue, and especially if you have recently been exposed to ticks, is crucial.
In conclusion, while Lyme disease is commonly associated with joint pain and neurological symptoms, it is crucial not to overlook its potential impact on the heart. Untreated Lyme disease can lead to cardiac complications, including heart block, myocarditis, pericarditis, and cardiomyopathy. Recognizing the link between Lyme disease and cardiac complications, along with prompt diagnosis and treatment, is vital for preserving cardiovascular health and preventing long-term complications.
Similar Posts is a complex and often misunderstood illness that can impact every aspect of a person's life. While conventional treatments such as antibiotics are often used to manage Lyme disease, many people are turning to holistic healing methods to complement their traditional treatments and improve their overall wellness.

How often do navy ships need to refuel?
How often do navy ships need to refuel?
They have long core lives, so that refuelling is needed only after 10 or more years, and new cores are designed to last 50 years in carriers and 30-40 years (over 1.5 million kilometres) in most submarines, albeit with much lower capacity factors than a nuclear power plant (<30\%).
How often does a ship refuel?
Generally speaking, cruise ships can only stay at sea for around twelve days before they need to refuel. Despite this most cruise ships will refuel every few days as they stop at different ports. Just because a cruise ship could in theory stay at sea for 12 days, this doesn't mean that they do.
How often do aircraft carriers have to refuel?
First commissioned in 1992, the aircraft carrier is close to nearing the middle of its service life and is in need of an over $600 million refueling. So even if the refill is costly, it only needs to be done once every couple of decades or so.
The limits on how long they can stay underwater are food and supplies. Submarines generally stock a 90-day supply of food, so they can spend three months underwater. The diesel-powered submarines (not now used by the United States Navy) had a limit of several days submerged.
How do warships refuel?
Astern fueling The fuel-supplying ship throws a marker buoy into the sea and the receiving ship takes station with it. Then the delivering ship trails a hose in the water that the fuel-receiving ship retrieves and connects to. This method is more limited, as only one transfer rig can be set up.
How far can a ship travel without refueling?
At a petite 878 feet long and 75,500 tons, this ship is much more fuel efficient. When sailing, the Spirit chugs along at an average speed of 24 knots and burns approximately 1,100 gallons per hour. Thus, with a fuel capacity of over 350,000 gallons, it can conceivably remain at sea for 12 days without refueling.
about twenty years
Nuclear power allowed submarines to run for about twenty years without needing to refuel. Food supplies became the only limit on a nuclear submarine's time at sea. Since then, similar technologies have been developed to power aircraft carriers.
How long does it take to refuel a ship?
In theory, such a process could simply involve only refueling or only an overhaul, but nuclear refueling is usually combined with an overhaul. An ROH usually takes one to two years for submarines and up to almost three years for an aircraft carrier, performed at a naval shipyard.
How often do nuclear ships get refueled?
Depending on the ship, the reactor fuel is replaced every few years. Russian icebreakers need to be refueled every 5 years. The older gen nuclear subs are refueled every 10 years. Russian Kirov class ships are refueled after around 10-15 years. US Navy carriers are refueled every 25 years.
What is refueling and overhaul in the Navy?
Refueling and overhaul. In the United States Navy, Refueling and Overhaul (ROH) refers to a lengthy process or procedure performed on nuclear-powered naval ships, which involves replacement of expended nuclear fuel with new fuel and a general maintenance fix-up, renovation, and often modernization of the entire ship.
How long can a submarine run without refueling?
It will run for 33 years without refueling. That is especially true of the Virginia class, which unlike previous nuclear subs has a life-of-the-ship reactor core — meaning it requires no refueling during its entire 33 years in | eng | 7377c29f-f7e2-4e77-8ca2-527f724ed06a | https://yoursagetip.com/popular-guidelines/how-often-do-navy-ships-need-to-refuel/ |

For years, unrecycled plastic bottles have been dumped in landfills. Now, thanks to new research from UBC Okanagan, those bottles may have a second life in that landfill — stabilizing its earth walls.
Used plastic bottles and textiles pose an increasing problem for landfills worldwide. Researchers say nearly a hundred million metric tons of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), also known as microplastics, are produced globally each year — with a fraction of that number being recycled — making it one of the largest sources of plastic waste.
"One way we can manage plastic waste is through integrating it into geotechnical construction," explains doctoral student Alok Chandra. "By finding new ways to use these discarded plastics, we can divert them from landfills and use them to stabilize cover materials within landfills."
Chandra and his supervisor, UBCO Engineering Professor Dr. Sumi Siddiqua, have developed a new method of incorporating PET waste into clay soil stabilization.
"Due to its nontoxicity, low biodegradability and accessibility, it shows considerable potential for use in landfill designs. However, a considerable amount of research is still required," says Dr. Siddiqua. "This not only solves the solid waste problem but also increases the economic value of waste and encourages its re-circulation back from already polluted lands and oceans."
The study suggests the reused material strengthens the soil and serves as a water-resistant layer that will keep pollutants such as lead from escaping the landfill.
"Our results show great potential, but there is still some work to be done before we will integrate the PET waste into landfill soil stabilization management," says Chandra.
The research is published in the journal Waste Management and funded by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada Discovery Grants Program.

EWARE OF THE INFOGRAPHIC
WPCNR BOOKMARKS.By Savannah Jacobson, from the Columbia School of Journalism. Oct. 29, 2019:
Alberto Cairo is on a mission to improve how journalists use charts.
"Visualizations, charts can be incredibly powerful at exploring data," he told me recently. They can also be powerful as tools for communicating information to news readers. "If you know how to use them well," Cairo added. To his endless frustration, too many reporters do not.
In his new book, How Charts Lie: Getting Smarter about Visual Information, Cairo, who is the Knight Chair in visual journalism at the University of Miami, aims to dispel the myth of objectivity, and the air of truthfulness, that has been undeservedly awarded to numbers.
A chart, he said, is a "visual argument" that is only as strong as the data on which it's based. To tell a reliable story with a chart requires an understanding of its data—what it consists of, how it was gathered, who it might leave out.
"We journalists are mediators," Cairo explained. "Mediators between science and complexity, and the general public."
Throughout the book, Cairo breaks down common mistakes journalists make.
First up: assuming that correlation indicates causation. To demonstrate why that's wrong, Cairo produces a chart, using data from the World Health Organization and the United Nations, showing that cigarette consumption by country is positively correlated with life expectancy.
"I have seen graphics like that described by journalists—including myself because most of these things are mistakes that I have made myself— describing this kind of chart as 'the more we smoke, the longer we live,'" he told me. But in reality, he writes, "a chart only shows what it shows, and nothing else" (emphasis his).
Cairo then breaks the data down further, with fifteen more charts, grouping countries by income and region. Ultimately, he shows, the original chart cannot prove anything definitive—it can merely point to a pattern.
His step-by-step instructions, at risk of becoming dry, are livened up with humor (a data point about the glam rock band Poison has no place in a chart about heavy metal, he argues).
"I try to do it in a way that could be used as a template by translators, communicators, journalists, to do the same thing," he told me.
When journalists are wrong, Cairo warns, there can be serious repercussions. A town in danger of storm damage, for instance, may fail to take proper precautions because a broadcaster misinterpreted a graph.
Just look at Hurricane Dorian projections: the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration relies on a graphic—called the cone of uncertainty—to explain potential paths for major storms and, during Dorian coverage, many reporters interpreted the cone graphic as showing the entirety of the storm's wrath.
That left out a lot of possibilities. "I have seen TV newscasters explaining this map wrong and it drives me crazy," Cairo said. "Like saying, 'Oh you're outside of the cone, you may not be in danger.' Well that's actually not true."
Cairo doesn't want to put journalists off charts, and he has ideas about how to produce them effectively.
When news outlets design their own graphics, Cairo suggests, they should introduce a "me-layer" into the design. Why was the New York Times' dialect map so popular? "Because people see themselves in the data," he writes. "And they see their families in the data, and they can compare the way they talk with how other people talk."
Perhaps most important, Cairo writes, reporters shouldn't assume that visuals serve as a substitute for words. Sometimes, a lengthy explanation is what's required. At the same time, when reporters are trying to make a point, they need to just spit it out:
"If you really want to emphasize something, emphasize it," he said. "So people will not miss it. If there's a particular pattern, or a particular data point or a particular fact that should not be missed, just show it."
And when all else fails, ask a data scientist. "You need to basically give them whatever it is that you're writing," Cairo advised, "and very openly say, 'please destroy it.'"
"The main reason this chart is so deceptive," Cairo writes on his blog, "is that it compares things that aren't comparable. Come on, Breitbart or The Federalist rags at the same level of 'bias' as Vox? The Washington Examiner at the same level as NPR? Those aren't equal. Neither in terms of trustworthiness, nor in terms of ideological bias."
"His book reminds readers not to infer too much from a chart, especially when it shows them what they already wanted to see," The Economist writes in a review of Cairo's book, noting that he has sent a copy to the White House. | eng | 0689d616-2681-43e6-8821-e9ac8686990e | https://whiteplainscnr.com/2019/10/29/beware-of-the-infographic/ |
She said that she considers his death a poisoning because he thought that he was taking cocaine, but the substance was laced with fentanyl. She said without testing, many people who use illicit substances are not confident that what they purchased is what they have received.
"(People) should be able to go to the pharmacy… and be able to get what they need."
People with substance use disorders may not always be ready to seek help or stop using. It is important to have supports in place that are available anytime people are ready to seek help.
She advocates for prescribed safe supply, so that people can "stop the pain enough that they can get help."
Lukash said that programs like safe supply coupled with additional social supports are an important step in combating the toxic drug supply.

Urban Computing
Course
2019-2020
Admission requirements
Not applicable.
Description
Urban computing, as an interdisciplinary field, is the science of using computing technology in solving urban challenges such as traffic, and pollution. This course provides a comprehensive introduction to this topic. Throughout the course, students will get familiar with data acquisitions, integration, and modeling skills required for urban computing research.
Spatio-temporal data is the data collected as a result of movement of mobile objects, such as cars and people, over space. Spatio-temporal data mining is the core to most urban computing research projects. Most previously designed machine learning algorithms do not consider the specific characteristics of spatio-temporal data. In this course, we will talk about how different classes of machine learning algorithms have been designed so far to perform on such data. We will also learn how additional data sources can be fused and integrated with spatio-temporal data. The concepts throughout the course are explained using examples extracted from the state of the art urban computing research literature. Students will put the knowledge of spatio-temporal data mining they acquire in this course into practice, using different assignments and a final project.
Course objectives
This course aims at providing knowledge on computational skills for urban computing research. Topics to be addressed are: | eng | 76950a08-79d2-4383-91b9-68899bee26ba | https://studiegids.universiteitleiden.nl/en/courses/96297/urban-computing |

For the health of your teeth, you must visit the dentist regularly. You can find a good dentist anywhere in the world, whether you are searching for a dentist in Inglewood or somewhere else in the world. If you are one of these people who don't visit the dentist regularly, then there are some situations in which visiting the dentist becomes essential. When you face any of the following issues, you should visit a dentist.
Whenever you feel pain or swelling in the tooth:
You should visit a dentist whenever you feel pain or swelling in your tooth. If you ignore that pain or swelling, then you will face tooth loss at the end. So, don't ignore any kind of swelling or pain in your tooth and immediately visit your dentist. He will provide you the proper treatment and save you from losing a tooth.
Swelling in gums:
If you feel swelling in the gums, you must visit your dentist. In many cases, the swelling in gums is recoverable, and you can completely recover it by visiting your dentist regularly. Swelling in gums is a disease that will destroy your gums if you can't get its treatment on time. The dentist will do the scaling of your teeth and provide your teeth a deep cleaning on every appointment. It will undo the swelling of your gums, and your gums become healthy again.
Feel sensitivity:
If you feel sensitivity to cold and hot while eating or drinking anything, you should visit your dentist. Normal teeth sensitivity can treat by using toothpaste, but if you are feeling extreme sensitivity, it means that you have a serious issue. So, visit your dentist and don't ignore this problem.
Extreme pain in molar:
Visit your dentist whenever you feel extreme pain in the molar. The pain of the molar will become unbearable if you can't get its treatment urgently. There are two treatments for this problem. Either the dentist will perform a root canal or remove your infected molar. In the root canal, the dentist does a treatment of dying or dead teeth. After a root canal, your molar stays at its place, but the dentist removes its connection with gums. While in the other procedure, the dentist completely removes your molar. So, visit your dentist whenever you feel extreme pain in the molar because if it doesn't get treatment on time, the pain will become unbearable for you.

AN ACT Relating to supporting music education for young children in
public schools; adding a new section to chapter 28A.630 RCW; and
creating a new section.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF WASHINGTON:
NEW SECTION.Sec. 1 (1) The legislature finds that: (a) Scientific brain research indicates that music lessons help
children improve their language skills. Music can fundamentally shape
brains in ways that may enhance everyday tasks, including reading and
listening; (b) Perhaps equally important, especially for young children, is
that music education provides opportunities for students to engage in
social interaction, play, creativity, and imagination; and (c) Unfortunately, an increased emphasis on academic learning,
combined with budget constraints, has led schools to reduce or
eliminate music education for young children, especially in
high-poverty schools with limited resources. (2) Therefore the legislature intends to take advantage of
innovative new curriculum in music education for young children and
provide support for its use in state-funded all-day kindergarten
classes.
NEW SECTION.Sec. 2 A new section is added to chapter 28A.630
RCW to read as follows: (1) Subject to funds appropriated specifically for this purpose,
the office of the superintendent of public instruction shall allocate
grants for a music does matter program to support music education for
young children, with funding provided to schools with state-funded
all-day kindergarten programs under RCW 28A.150.315. If funds are not
sufficient to cover all kindergarten classes in schools with
state-funded all-day kindergarten, the office of the superintendent of
public instruction must allocate the funds first to schools with the
highest percentages of students qualifying for free and reduced-price
lunch. (2) The music does matter grants must be used to purchase a
standards-based music curriculum designed for preschool, kindergarten,
and first grade classrooms that may be taught by regular classroom
teachers without special music training. Grant recipients must
implement the curriculum in state-funded all-day kindergarten classes. | eng | 1298d9ce-4496-47c7-8a68-8111088f070d | https://lawfilesext.leg.wa.gov/biennium/2013-14/Htm/Bills/House%20Bills/1248.htm |
Project
Info
Broken Mirror
A vertically-scrolling PC game that allows two players to work together in a cooperative mode, with a specific emphasis on creating a chaotic gameplay experience.
I am responsible for designing part of combat, designing UI, creating 2D VFX and UI programming in Unity.
Overview
Problem
In the genre of two-player games, there are many established interaction patterns. However, players may want to try something new and innovative. How might we design a fresh two-player interaction that is engaging and intuitive?
Solution
We created an asymmetrical two-player roguelike vertical scroller where the players play different roles with the ability to help or hinder each other to create tension and unpredictability.
End Result
Over the course of 6 weeks, we developed an asymmetrical two-player roguelike vertical scroller game with a focus on unique gameplay mechanics. Our goal was to create an engaging and challenging game that encouraged players to work together and rely on each other's skills to progress, while also having the ability to hinder or prank each other. This game also won the "Best Game Design Award" within the company.
In our game, Broken Mirror, we have a unique asymmetrical gameplay experience where one player takes on the role of the Mirror Knight in "the material world", while the other plays as the Reflection in "the mirror world". The gameplay mechanics are designed to be complementary, with the Mirror Knight destroying environment objects to acquire items that power up the Reflection. In contrast, the Reflection must fight off monsters and prevent them from reaching the Mirror Knight and the material world.

Defending Your Custody Agreement: Protecting Your Education Choices
Why You Should Involve A Reputable Lawyer In Your Child Custody Battle
20 December 2022
by Daryl Young
The process is a bit tricky because the judges base their arguments and verdict on what favors your child's interests and rights. So trying to handle the case alone is the most unfortunate thing you can do. Hiring a lawyer for your child custody case is vital for the following reasons.
They Are Experienced
Custody cases are usually rigorous. So unless you are a lawyer, you shouldn't attempt to handle yours alone because you will definitely lose. Hire a child custody lawyer because they are more conversant with these cases. A lawyer who has handled such cases for several years has a lot of legal knowledge. Even if your case is a bit more complex, the lawyer will know how to approach it and help you win. They know the tactics that work better than others do and things that can ruin the expected outcome.
They Are Familiar with Courtroom Rules
A child custody lawyer should handle your case because they know a lot about family law statutes. They also know what goes on in the courtroom and the procedures followed. They are also more confident and know how to present a case before the judges. Actually, your lawyer may have presented other cases to the same judge. As a result, they understand what the judge could be interested in when preparing their verdict. Self-representation is dangerous because you may unknowingly violate courtroom regulations, attracting an unfavorable outcome.
They Know How to Negotiate
A case involving child custody will definitely involve negotiations. For this reason, let a seasoned lawyer handle your case because they will negotiate on your behalf. You need a skilled negotiator to ensure your ex-spouse doesn't take advantage of you. Remember that getting what you want or winning a custody case isn't automatic. Your lawyer negotiates with the child's interests in mind. They also protect your rights and suggest what you could do to win the case.
So if you have decided to divorce and have kids, ensure you involve a competent child custody lawyer. Don't handle the custody case yourself because you don't understand family law or even know the steps involved while filing one | eng | 679b71ee-a1dc-4a6c-a728-2db4e4e412f8 | http://jhwoning.com/2022/12/20/why-you-should-involve-a-reputable-lawyer-in-your-child-custody-battle/ |

Alberta Campgrounds | Posh Camping
Posh camping is another name for glamping, which is gaining popularity in many Alberta campgrounds. Glamping which is a mashup of the word glamorous and camping. Is simply a word describing people who are camping while taking many luxuries of home with them.
And although it is gaining popularity. With more people going glamping then they have ever before. This is not a new phenomenon. There have been instances of people going glamping for centuries.
Previously, it was a way that royalty used to travel. To ensure that they did not have to leave all of the luxuries and comforts of their palace behind. Even though they needed to travel across the country.
They were known for bringing luxuries such as silk drapery, rugs, and even setting up fountains that ran red wine instead of water. So that they could have all of the comforts they wanted.
Although glamping is not reserved just for royalty. In the nineteen twenties as African safaris became a popular way for the rich to see the beauty of the African desert and surroundings.
The tents that they stayed in could only be described as luxurious. Offering every single comforts that they could want while in a foreign country.
Nowadays, when people go to Alberta campgrounds for their own glamping experience. This typically means staying in a recreational vehicle. Or staying in one of the many glamping sites that are available throughout Alberta.
More…
Depending on the campground, there might be luxury tents, yurts, or tiny cabins. That while offering many of the luxuries of home. Also help people feel as though they are still camping. So that they can continue to enjoy nature.
In fact, there are many different glamping sites throughout the province. Including more than just luxury tents and yurts. Allowing people to stay in pods, grain bins that have been modified. As well as treehouses with all of the comforts of home.
When people are getting ready for their glamping trip. They should ensure that they are looking at the different glamping sites that will offer them the experience that they desire.
The different glamping sites available will have different amenities and luxuries not typically found in the great outdoors. So they need to know about what they are looking for. So that they can get a glamping site that matches with what their idea of glamping is.
They should think about amenities such as heaters and air conditioning. As well as things like if there is satellite television, Wi-Fi or indoor plumbing.
Since there is a glamping site for every style of camper. They should find one that will allow them to experience camping in a way that allows them to feel as comfortable as they want.
There is also owing to be different prices for various glamping sites. So by planning their trip ahead. And calling the various Alberta campgrounds they wish to travel to. Can help ensure that people are heading the glamping experience that they desire.
Alberta Campgrounds | Posh Camping
Any time someone visits Alberta campgrounds and takes comforts that are not normally found will camping. This can be considered posh camping. Or as it is commonly known nowadays as glamping.
There are many reasons why people may want to go glamping instead of camping when they visit Alberta campgrounds. From already travelling through the province but not having their camping gear with them.
Having glamping sites available. Means that people can make an impromptu stop along their way. So that they can enjoy the beauty of the province. Even if they had not intended ongoing camping in the first place.
It may be something that people who have extended families who love to camp. But they do not enjoy the activity themselves. Going glamping. Means that their families can camp. While they are not excluded from the camping trip themselves.
And most importantly, camping is not always accessible to everybody. There may be physical limitations that people experience. That makes going camping something that they are unable to do.
By going glamping, people will be able to enjoy the feel of camping. But at the same time, will be able to do it in a way that is more possible for them to do.
However, people need to keep in mind that the various campgrounds throughout the province. Will have various glamping sites that have different amenities.
Some do not have indoor plumbing. So that people get a feel of what it is like to go camping. And some will have fire pits outside, so that they can still have a campfire and feel like they are camping.
More…
People should make a list of all of the amenities that they need to have or they want to have when they go glamping. So that they can choose the glamping sites that matches them the best.
Glamping sites also very in cost depending on where people go. And what type of amenities are available when they booked their site.
They should also look to see what other activities are in the Alberta campgrounds that they visit. So that they can ensure that they are going to be enjoying the trip. Based on what else they can do once they get to the campsite.
For example, at elevated experience they offer many different amenities on site. Such as go to yoga, and arcade and a candy shop. Just name a few of the things that make them different than they other campgrounds.
So by being aware of everything that each campground has to offer. Can help people choose the right venue for their summer vacation. So that they can spend their time enjoying the Alberta wilderness.
Without feeling like they are leaving something at home. Or that there is not enough activities to keep them busy when they are camping.

Testing My Christianity: The First To Speak Seems Right … Why Is the Truth So Hard to Find?
The first to put forth his case seems right, until someone else steps forward and questions him. Proverbs 18:17
It's like we're in a matrix where there's the truth – the actual truth, i.e., what is happening in this dimension – and then there is the "truth" those in power, entertainment, culture, and the traditional media outlets have been reinforcing using their international open mic. The difference between these two realities is becoming increasingly disparate.
It's like when we were kids and you would get in trouble for hitting your brother back. The key phrase here is hitting back. Your mom would fuss you out and possibly send you to your room for what you did. Sometimes you would get through to her and explain that your brother hit you first for no reason and you were simply reacting to that. Oh, now that would bring out the justice warrior in mom!
We all know that it's fundamentally unfair to punish the second one. Why does the first one, the one who starts the mess, get away with it so often? Is it because the second one is so put off by the unfair infringement of the first one that his reaction garners attention? Is it because the one who starts it is usually so sneaky that his surprise attack goes unnoticed? Whatever the case, we have all experienced some form of misrepresentation when the focus goes to the reaction instead of the cause.
There is a common sense approach that instinctively asks: What is she reacting to? Aside from unstable or diagnosed individuals, people don't just randomly yell, hit, or lash out. They do it in response to something they heard, saw, or experienced. So the rational person, when seeing someone lash out, should ask: What happened that this person is reacting to?
Whether or not their reaction is warranted and reasonable, or overblown and excessive is another story altogether. Either way, there is a root cause for their response and that is where the focus should be if we want to get to the truth; particularly truths about fairness, responsibility, and consequence.
The scripture says that the first person "seems" right. That implies all is not what it seems and judgement is to be withheld and reserved until all sides have presented their information. Further attention, in the form of questions, is required, as we see in the last part of the verse: "until someone else … questions him". Questions are a powerful tool to get to the heart of any matter. Don't just blindly accept and believe everything you hear. Think critically and ask questions.
Unfortunately, this way of communication is difficult and rarely seen when first person troublemaker is purposely devious. For to expose such deceit and ill will is to awaken the beast who is quite unwilling to go quietly into that good night. You might find yourself attacked with vitriol, lies, excuses, and emotion-laden outbursts; anything to take attention off the root cause of the conflict. This brings us back to the second one in the scenario getting the blame, while the initiator slinks back into the shadows a la cartoon demon, with the pointy-toothed, squinty-eyed, hee-hee-hee-grin Once it is known from whence the conflict comes, consequences can be rightly applied. This part can be difficult because no one truly wants consequences – even those that are deserved.
As Christians, we must be willing to ask the tough questions that lead to truth. Truth will not just set us free, but it has the power to set free those that wrong and those that are wronged. A few simple questions will shine light into dark places of misunderstanding, deceit, and confusion. Motives can be exposed, leading to repentance and forgiveness or stubbornness and bitterness. Either way, there are challenges to be met, lessons to be learned, and growth to be had for all involved.
So, go out and love people, be humble, be strong and courageous, and ask those questions that invite the Spirit to the conversation because when the Spirit shows up, we are all made better. | eng | 1703039c-8717-41a5-b543-5e00ac97900a | https://emmsix.com/2019/08/01/testing-my-christianity-the-first-to-speak-seems-right-why-is-the-truth-so-hard-to-find/ |
rot Cages and Accessories
By Sally Blanchard
In this article, Sally Blanchard gives her opinion on how best to keep our birds active and healthy.
Something I have really never understood is the number of people that I have met over the years who thought it was horrible to keep parrots in cages. Perhaps if we had called them "parrot homes" from the very beginning, there wouldn't be that stigma that some people have about cages. I have noticed that some owners put their parrots on a T-stand instead of a cage, which actually restricts activity.
In a properly set up spacious cage, there is a lot more activity possible. If, on the other hand, a parrot is kept in a bird-safe room with hanging perches, boings, swings and toys hanging near them with a way to access food and water, that would give it lots of activity. In a few places I have lived, I had set-ups like that for the birds during the day that hung from the office ceiling. I was careful to arrange them so that there was no danger of them messing on office equipment. Not all of them could be out at the same time and they would be in their cages as they took turns. They also slept in their cages at night. | eng | 650fac70-8952-4116-9a4b-cb4b3de41008 | https://parrotmag.com/1283-parrot-cages-and-accessories.html |
Haha, I've put in 650 flight hours in the past 90 days, so maybe I should chill out for a bit and have some fun with it instead of constant hubs and heavy traffic.

1914 Silent Era Movie Poster
Value (2015) |
$1,500Auction
–
$2,000Auction
Watch
GUEST: I purchased it at a local flea market. It's from a 1914 silent film. I just loved the graphics on it, I loved the flying A. I actually collect old signs and advertising, and it reminds me of Flying A Gasoline. I don't think it has anything to do with it, but I love the graphics on it.
APPRAISER: And how much did you pay for it?
GUEST: $500.
APPRAISER: And do you have any other posters in your collection?
GUEST: This is the only poster.
APPRAISER: So you've never owned a poster before, you saw this at a flea market, it was $500, and something about it reminded you of gasoline, so you bought it.
GUEST: Plus the beautiful women on it.
APPRAISER: Fair enough.
(laughs)
APPRAISER: And how do you know it's from 1914?
GUEST: Did a little research on the internet. And I could find some information, but I couldn't find the exact poster.
APPRAISER: Did you find out anything else about it?
GUEST: Not much. It listed the actors and actresses.
APPRAISER: Yes, it is a movie poster from 1914, and it's one of these movies that has been lost to time. So if we wanted to watch it now, we couldn't. As you said, there's a record of the director, there's a record of the actors, but that's it. Now, in the world of movie posters, what makes a poster valuable are the fame and the renown of the actors and the director. I'll point out on this poster, it doesn't even name who the director is. But the poster really is a great image, and it has a very interesting message: "A sociological drama in which human nature is given free play." It sounds a little bit like a temperance movie about anti-drinking, but in fact, it's not. And if we read at the bottom, "Her losses at bridge cause many anxious moments." So we can imagine that here's a woman who's losing a lot at cards and is getting upset, and what follows.
GUEST: She looks like it.
APPRAISER: And you were saying something about the coloring on it to me earlier?
GUEST: It almost looks like it's got a little bit of hand-drawn... The diamonds and the hearts don't look...
APPRAISER: You know, it's not hand-drawn, it's a lithograph, and where the ink is missing, that's because the register of the lithographic stone was slightly off. Now, what drew me to this poster was not so much that it was color coordinated with my outfit, although you might think that's the reason I chose it, but the fact that it is a playing card motif. And a lot of people collect playing cards, a lot of people collect images of gambling. This, as I mentioned, is a bridge poster. And when you looked it up, you weren't able to find any comparables. So we know that it's rare. So how do we price a very rare, lost movie poster for a not-so-famous movie? Any guesses what it might be worth?
GUEST: I'm hoping around $1,000.
APPRAISER: Well, I talked to some of my colleagues at the collectibles table and I said, "Maybe there's a big market for people who collect images of bridge." And in fact there's not. Bridge is sort of a game that's going out of vogue. Had it been a poker image, it would have an additional value. Even if it were a chess image, people collect chess imagery. It's our opinion that at auction, an estimate for this piece would be between $1,500 and $2 | eng | 396ec510-7a8a-41e6-8d71-dc6b17767caf | https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/roadshow/season/20/little-rock-ar/appraisals/1914-silent-era-movie-poster--201505A13/ |

Steering behaviors aim to help autonomous characters move in a realistic manner, by using simple forces that combine to produce life-like, improvisational navigation. In this tutorial, I'll cover the wander behavior, which makes the character move randomly.
Note: Although this tutorial is written using AS3 and Flash, you should be able to use the same techniques and concepts in almost any game development environment. You must have a basic understanding of math vectors.
Wandering Around
Often the characters of a game must randomly move around their environment. Usually those characters are just waiting for something to happen (like a battle against the player) or they are looking for something. When the player is able to see that behavior, the character's wandering ability must be visually pleasant and realistic enough.
If the player is able to identify strongly defined path lines or unrealistic move behavior, it will generate frustration. In the worst case the player will figure out how to anticipate the character's movements, which results in a boring game experience.
The wander steering behavior aims to produce a realistic "casual" movement, which will make the player think that the character is really alive and walking around.
Seek and Randomness
There are several ways to implement the wander pattern using steering behaviors. The simplest is using the previously described seek behavior. When a character is performing seek, it will move towards a target.
If the position of that target changes every few seconds, then the character will never be able to reach the target (and even if it does, the target will move again). Placing the target randomly in the game area will make the character eventually move around the whole environment chasing the target. The demo below shows this approach in action:
The seek behavior and a random target. Click the demo to show force vectors.
The code for this implementation would be:
1
2
// Calculate the wander force
3
privatefunctionwander():Vector3D{
4
varnow:Number=(newDate()).getTime();
5
6
if(now>=nextDecision){
7
// Choose a random position for "target"
8
}
9
10
// return a steering force that pushes the character
11
// towards the target (the seek behavior)
12
returnseek(target);
13
}
14
15
// In the game loop, handle forces and movement just
16
// like before:
17
publicfunctionupdate():void{
18
steering=wander()
19
steering=truncate(steering,max_force)
20
steering=steering/mass
21
velocity=truncate(velocity+steering,max_speed)
22
position=position+velocity
23
}
Even though this is a simple and good approach, the final result is not so convincing. Sometimes the character completely inverts its route because the target is placed behind it. The character's behavior seems much more like "Damn, I forgot my keys!" than "Okay, I will follow this direction now".
Wander
Another implementation of the wander behavior was proposed by Craig W. Reynolds when he invented those behaviors. The basic idea is to produce small random displacements and apply to the character's current direction vector (the velocity, in our case) every game frame. Since the velocity vector defines where the character is heading to and how much it moves every frame, any interference with that vector will change the current route.
Using small displacements every frame prevents the character from abruptly changing its route. If the character is moving up and turning right, for instance, in the next game frame it will still be moving up and turning right, but at a slightly different angle.
That approach can also be implemented in different ways. One of them is to use a circle in front of the character, using that to calculate all forces involved:
The displacement force has its origin at the circle's center, and is constrained by the circle radius. The greater the radius and the distance from character to the circle, the stronger the "push" the character will receive every game frame.
This displacement force will be used to interfere with the character's route. It is used to calculate the wander force.
Calculating the Circle's Position
The first component required to calculate the wander force is the circle's center position. Since the circle should be placed in front of the character, the velocity vector can be used as a guide:
1
2
// The CIRCLE_DISTANCE constant below is
3
// a number defined somewhere else.
4
// The code to calculate the circle center:
5
varcircleCenter:Vector3D;
6
circleCenter=velocity.clone();
7
circleCenter.normalize();
8
circleCenter.scaleBy(CIRCLE_DISTANCE);
The circleCenter vector above is a clone (copy) of the velocity vector, which means they point to the same direction. It is normalized and multiplied by a scalar value (CIRCLE_DISTANCE, in this case) which will result in the following vector:
Displacement Force
The next component is the displacement force, which is responsible for the right or left turn. Since this is a force used to produce disturbance, it can point anywhere. Let's use a vector aligned with the Y axis:
1
2
vardisplacement:Vector3D;
3
displacement=newVector3D(0,-1);
4
displacement.scaleBy(CIRCLE_RADIUS);
5
//
6
// Randomly change the vector direction
7
// by making it change its current angle
8
setAngle(displacement,wanderAngle);
9
//
10
// Change wanderAngle just a bit, so it
11
// won't have the same value in the
12
// next game frame.
13
wanderAngle+=(Math.random()*ANGLE_CHANGE)-(ANGLE_CHANGE*.5);
The displacement force is created and scaled by the circle radius. As previously described, the greater the radius, the stronger the wander force. The wanderAngle is a scalar value that defines how much the displacement force should be "tilted"; after it is used a random value is added to make it different for the next game frame. It produces the required randomness in the movement.
For the sake of understanding, let's assume the displacement force calculated above is placed at the circle's center. Since it was scaled by the circle radius value, it would be something like this:
Tip: Remember that math vectors do not have a position in the space, they have a direction and a magnitude (length). As a consequence they can be placed anywhere.
Wander Force
After the circle center and the displacement vector are calculated, they must be combined to produce the wander force. That force is calculated by adding those two vectors:
1
2
varwanderForce:Vector3D;
3
wanderForce=circleCenter.add(displacement);
We can visually represent these forces like so:
The wander force can be imagined as a vector that goes from the character to a point on the circle's circumference. Depending on the position of that point, the wander force will push the character to the left or to the right, strongly or weakly:
The more the wander force is aligned with the velocity vector, the less the character will change its current route. The wander force will work exactly like the seek and flee forces: it will push the character towards a direction.
Similar to seek and flee where the force direction is calculated based on a target, the wander direction is calculated based on a random point on the circle's circumference. The final code for the wander force is:
1
2
privatefunctionwander():Vector3D{
3
// Calculate the circle center
4
varcircleCenter:Vector3D;
5
circleCenter=velocity.clone();
6
circleCenter.normalize();
7
circleCenter.scaleBy(CIRCLE_DISTANCE);
8
//
9
// Calculate the displacement force
10
vardisplacement:Vector3D;
11
displacement=newVector3D(0,-1);
12
displacement.scaleBy(CIRCLE_RADIUS);
13
//
14
// Randomly change the vector direction
15
// by making it change its current angle
16
setAngle(displacement,wanderAngle);
17
//
18
// Change wanderAngle just a bit, so it
19
// won't have the same value in the
20
// next game frame.
21
wanderAngle+=Math.random()*ANGLE_CHANGE-ANGLE_CHANGE*.5;
22
//
23
// Finally calculate and return the wander force
24
varwanderForce:Vector3D;
25
wanderForce=circleCenter.add(displacement);
26
returnwanderForce;
27
}
28
29
publicfunctionsetAngle(vector:Vector3D,value:Number):void{
30
varlen:Number=vector.length;
31
vector.x=Math.cos(value)*len;
32
vector.y=Math.sin(value)*len;
33
}
Adding Forces
After the wander force has been calculated, it must be added to the character's velocity so it can affect its movement. The addition of that force is performed in the same way as before:
1
2
steering=wander()
3
steering=truncate(steering,max_force)
4
steering=steering/mass
5
velocity=truncate(velocity+steering,max_speed)
6
position=position+velocity
The wander force will affect the character's route in the same way that the previously described behaviors did, with the difference that it pushes the character to a random direction each game frame:

The demo above shows several characters wandering in the environment. If they leave the screen they are respawned at the center.
Conclusion
The wander behavior is an excellent way of implementing random movements. It is controlled by an imaginary circle placed in front of the character, which can be tweaked to produce the desired movement pattern. | eng | 0aa1dc48-829e-4535-bb09-85352b339492 | https://code.tutsplus.com/understanding-steering-behaviors-wander--gamedev-1624t |
The Positive Effects of Melon on Human Health
Melon is a popular fruit that may be eaten both sweetly and savory. Most people like this fruit for its sugary flavor. But did you know that melon has various uses and benefits?
It's funny timing that we get to talk about the health advantages of melons right now. Don't waste any more time; the advantages are listed below.
A list of advantages of melons
It's important to note that melons contain a wide variety of nutrients and may even be beneficial to your health. Some of these advantages, for example:
1. Stay hydrated.
When your body doesn't get enough water, you get dehydrated. In addition to drinking water, eating foods high in water content like melon will help you stay hydrated.
Two melon slices contain as much water as half a glass of water, or 159 grams. It helps replenish electrolytes in the body because of the many minerals it contains. As a result, you will no longer feel dehydrated. You may use it as a snack for that purpose.
2. The importance of prenatal nutrition
Pregnant women have an increased need for minerals and vitamins. It's possible that even pregnant women's immune systems aren't at their peak.
Pregnant women may benefit from eating melon. This fruit's high potassium content helps keep blood pressure and heart rate normal, while the vitamins B6 and C help the spine and immune system develop.
3. Benefits the digestive system
Those of you who have trouble defecating may find that eating melons helps. The melon's high water content and high fiber content are responsible for these advantages. Fiber and water help bulk up the stool while keeping it soft enough to pass easily.
Melons may not have as much fiber as other fruits, but that might be a beneficial thing for those who are just starting to increase their fiber intake.
4. Lessening one's blood pressure
The risk of cardiovascular disease and hypertension may be reduced by eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. When the potassium content of your diet is high and the salt content is low,
Sodium has the ability to bind water and raise blood volume, both of which contribute to elevated blood pressure. Melons' high potassium content helps maintain a healthy blood pressure. This allows for a gradual decrease in BP.
5. Boost immunity and protect against illness.
Melon is a great source of vitamin C, which boosts the immune system. Nutrients reports that vitamin C encourages specific cells to devour germs and aids in the transportation of immune cells to sites of illness.
Vitamin C fortifies immune cells, making them better able to protect organs against infection. Eat at least one slice of melon daily to boost your immune system and protect your body from illness.
6. Protecting one's eyes and skin
Daily consumption of melons has been linked to clearer skin in humans. Vitamin C, which may be found in melons, plays a critical role in collagen synthesis. Collagen is a protein responsible for the development, upkeep, and repair of skin tissue.
Vitamin C, which is abundant in melons, also acts as a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants help prevent sunburn and free radical damage to skin cells. This maintains the glow, health, and suppleness of your skin.
In addition, melons are just as good for your eyes as carrots. The zeaxanthin and lutein in this melon are responsible for its health advantages. Both of these chemicals are known as carotenoids and serve as precursors to vitamin A.
Antioxidants like zeaxanthin and lutein help shield eye tissue from damage. The risk of solar, environmental, and age-related eye impairment may be mitigated with such precautions.
7. maintain healthy blood sugar levels
Melon, despite its sweet flavor, has little risk of hypoglycemia or other complications for diabetics. This is because melon's high fiber and water content slow the digestion and absorption of sugar, keeping blood sugar levels stable.
Consuming fruit on a daily basis has been shown in one Chinese study to lower the chance of developing diabetes by 12%. This simple behavior modification may help people with diabetes avoid nerve, renal, and heart problems. | eng | 1c742e9d-5719-44cc-bd2f-438704b7aee8 | https://www.caralox.com/2023/04/The-Positive-Effects-of-Melon-on-Human-Health.html |
But in my case, I went through all these steps to ensure these issues are eliminated.
The message suggests that the Task Scheduler service was unable to save the file to the network share. This could be due to a permissions issue, network connectivity issue, or some other issue related to the Task Scheduler service.
You could try running the task with a different user account that has the necessary permissions to access the network share. Or try saving the file to a local directory instead of the network share.
Additionally, check the network connectivity and ensure that the network share is accessible from the computer where the task is running.
Task Scheduler (0x1)
The Task Scheduler (0x1) is associated with a system path issue. When you check the task history or event logs, the task does run successfully but the actual result will never be achieved. Please see how to fix Windows Task Scheduler 0x2 Error.
Why was this error prompted?
In my case, the issue had to do with the following parameters "Action, Program\script, Add arguments (optional), or the Start in(optional)". In the resolution step, I will show you how t fix this task.
Open the task scheduler by clicking start and typing in "Task Scheduler". Click to open it. Click task scheduler library, and then right-click on the required task and select the properties
On the Actions Tab, click on Edit as shown below. In the Start in (Optional) field type in the required path only. If this field is omitted, the following 0x1 Error Status will be prompted if not done correctly. Please specify the following parameters:
Alternatively, you could specify the right path only in the Add arguments (optional) field as shown below. and this will be sufficient as well.

You could also determine the Python installation path via the Python interactive Shell as shown below or Command Prompt by using the Where Python command. In this case, Python was not installed from the Microsoft store. Please see this guide for an alternative step: How to run Python Script via Windows Task Scheduler".
Re-run the scheduled task again. When this is done, the last run result is 0x0 which means the task ran successfully as shown below.
Logging and Error-Handling to Debug Task Scheduler Error 0x1
If none of these steps above works which I am pretty sure will. Kindly add an exception handler to the script to log the traceback. For example, you could use the logging module to write detailed logs to a file or add try/except blocks to catch and handle exceptions. You can see this guide for more information "Python Automation in Windows with Visual Studio Code". To troubleshoot this issue further. You could try the following steps:
Alternatively, consider using a different scheduling tool or method to execute the script, such as a third-party scheduling tool or a Windows service. One example of a third-party scheduling tool is called "Task Scheduler Pro"
Let us run with the first option to add logging and error handling to the script. For example, you could use the logging module to write detailed logs to a file or add try/except blocks to catch and handle exceptions. You can add logging to your Python script using the built-in logging module. For example, you can add try/except blocks to catch exceptions and log them to a file. Here is an example of how to do this:
In this example, logging is configured to write messages at the DEBUG level and above to a file named script.log. You can use different logging levels to control the verbosity of the logs, such as INFO, WARNING, ERROR, and CRITICAL.
Inside the try block, you can write your script code as usual. If an exception occurs, it will be caught by the except block, where you can handle the exception and log the error message using the logging.error() function.
View the log output
This will write any exceptions to a file called "script.log" in the same directory as the script. You can choose to specify a different directory if you wish. This can help you diagnose any issues that may be occurring when trying to access or write to the UNC folder. Below is the output of the logging and error handling we added to the Python script | eng | 3ef81c91-e96b-4e15-858b-293bde84a28a | https://techdirectarchive.com/2023/04/18/fix-windows-task-scheduler-error-0x1/ |
The Salvation Army Denies 'Going Woke' After Getting Slammed for Racism Guide
"They have claimed that we believe our donors should apologize for their skin color, that The Salvation Army believes America is an inherently racist society, and that we have abandoned our Christian faith for one ideology or another. Those claims are simply false, and they distort the very goal of our work." - C.Leaders
Discussion
Those who are just trying cancel those who believe in "cancel culture" don't realize that they are part of the problem.
Responding to an organization along the lines of "you said some things that resemble a couple of things that CRT people say so I'm not giving you money anymore" is cancel culture at its worst and not a bit better than what we see going on among those who lean (or are far) left.
But I think we can agree that "McCarthyism" as a label is probably as much of an incendiary charge as is being "Woke" or supporting CRT in the hands of others. That aside, I find those that expose directional shifts, misguided bandwagon jumping and flat-out embraces of noxious notions are doing a service I appreciate as I try to stay abreast of this rapidly changing culture.
I read the article you linked above. The best the author could do was point out that TSA's statements on race used language that resembles CRT on a couple of points. Since CRT isn't wrong about everything (nothing persuasive ever is), this isn't saying much. The article is disproportionately critical given the evidence. I wouldn't call that McCarthyism, but the general reaction on this has been disproportionate, overly suspicious, and not well reasoned. This certainly resembles the red scare, McCarthyism, etc. I want to point out also that my subject line has a question mark in it … "A new McCarthyism?" This is not a charge. It's more along the lines of raising the possibility of "directional shifts, misguided bandwagon jumping and flat-out embraces of noxious notions."
Lately, this is regarded as OK when the right is doing it toward the left, but not when the right is doing toward the right (or middle toward right or left toward right). I'm tired of the double standards you're going to insinuate that Mr. Koukl is "seeing wokeness behind every bush," and accusing him of having the attitude: "you said some things that resemble a couple of things that CRT people say so I'm not giving you money anymore," gives one the distinct impression that one never bothered to give the Salvation Army guide even a cursory glance.
It's clear that he believes CRT is false doctrine and he is taking a stand against it as directed by Paul in Romans 16:17-18. Kinda sounds like Paul was recommending "cancel culture" if that's how you're defining it. Should he just shrug false doctrine off? Is that what you do?
Is CRT Biblical? Are people born oppressors merely due to their skin color? Do we have chapter and verse on that?
Is CRT Biblical? Are people born oppressors merely due to their skin color? Do we have chapter and verse on that?
Can you share with me primary sources from CRT authors that CRT teaches that people are born oppressors merely due to their skin color? I've read over 50 primary sources and haven't found any.
That's fair. Just like postmodernism doesn't really teach "everything is relative" and communism isn't really about killing off the rich and taking their stuff. So what's a good term for people who say that "people are born oppressors merely due to their skin color?" Because it's definitely out there.

"Glad you asked!!!! I call them progressive racializers. And you can find them mainly in college universities and infinity groups, along with some outlying journalists, among peddlers of radical politics and even a few of the DEI trainers. And the racism that they are peddling is the "velveeta-cheese" version of Critical Race Theory, but its not Critical Race Theory. Velveeta cheese in comparison to cheese has very little dairy ingredients but its a pasteurized, processed, full of additive ingredients such as oils, salts, colors and chemicals) imitation product. Velveeta cheese was forced to change their marketing label by the FDA from cheese to "pasteurized prepared cheese product" in 2002 as a result. Velveeta may have been inspired to look like cheese but has very little in common with actual cheese. Actual Critical Race Theory has very little interest in labeling white people as oppressors and racist but rather their interest lies in how systems in society became and are still affected by racism.
The big question is: Why all the confusion about Critical Race Theory? What is driving the misinformation and McCarthyism campaign witch hunt that we are witnessing today, including the Salvation Army? The main two people that are fueling this racial culture war and moral panic are Christopher Rufo and James Lindsay, who happen to be agnostic hyper-individualistic neoliberals without any regards to ethics, and therefore lie, slander, and misrepresent CRT including its history, its main elements and how its permeated society. Both Lindsay and Rufo have done videos for PragerU and thoroughly lie and misrepresent CRT throughout their videos. I have written extensively about Jame Lindsay and his lies and misrepresentations in previous posts and Biblical compromise that Voddie Baucham, the Founders Group, G3, Al Mohler, and other Southern Baptists have succumbed to with their association with him. As for Christopher Rufo, he is primarily a journalist as well as a conservative activist with the Manhattan Institute. He intentionally uses the term CRT wrongly to create guilt by association when it comes to race and what he deems leftist. As he stated to Lindsay on Twitter without remorse, "We have successfully frozen their brand-Critical Race Theory-into the public conversation and are steadily driving up negative perceptions. We will eventually turn it toxic, as we put all the various cultural insanities under that brand category. The goal is for the public to read something crazy in the newspaper and immediately think "Critical Race Theory." We have decodified the term and recodify it to annex the entire range of cultural constructions that are unpopular with Americans."
Rufo's writings influenced Trump to make an executive order banning "CRT"-trainings within all government institutions (which Biden later reversed). Rufo has met with Senators and governors such as Tom Cotton and Desantis and many other legislators who (with conservative media) are fueling an unnecessary moral panic about CRT (falsely equating it to communism) as laws are being passed to stop it being taught in public schools across America. Basically, Rufo, Lindsay, Cotton, Desantis, Fox news, and etc..are violating the 9th commandment of bearing false witness against their neighbor. Lindsay and Rufo and others are living out consequential ethics where what makes something right is the consequence of the action, rather than the action itself, which is unbiblical. That is, It doesn't really matter if they are lying and misrepresenting something. As long as in the end they turn the term toxic. While there are many areas I feel CRT is not Biblical, we conservative Christians need to be careful not to join in violating the 9th commandment by repeating their lies and misrepresentations about CRT from secular agnostics when their own secular enlightenment idol is being threatened.
By me pointing out the lies of Rufo doesn't mean that I'm downplaying the progressive racialization that is going on in public schools in America or that parents should not be concerned or attempt to address some of the racial insanity. At the moment, our urban ministry is dealing with this exact issue right now with a public school that we partner with in our community. While the school's academic performance is among the worst in the State of Michigan and as it attempts to recover from a wasted year of learning because of COVID, there is a new teacher (newly out of college) who is aggressively attempting to bring in her progressive racialization to the DNA of the school. With all of her talk about anti-racism, oppression, intersectionality with the LGBTQ, she is completely missing the point that she herself is actually doing more to oppress these teenagers by being a social activist rather than an educator.
I am blown away how many conservative Christians really don't step back and give thought to this racial cultural war that's being waged: that it is a war between secular ideologies of hyper-individualists verses the hyper-collectivists waged primarily by non-Christians, all of whom do not share the same commitment to how Christians see the world (Creation-Fall-Redemption-Restoration), moral truth and deontological ethics or virtue ethics no matter which cultural side of the battle that they land on. Thus, lying, slandering, shaming, and misrepresenting their opponent's positions is morally justified because it is more about the outcome (winning the culture war) that determines what is right or wrong. The moral actions that lead to the consequence are considered "righteous as long as their side (whichever that is) wins. And winning is everything. As Christians we should be calling "balls and strikes" as umpires or "fouls or penalties" as referees guided by Scripture when it comes to this racial culture war rather than exchanging our zebra referee shirt for a culture war team uniform.
I'm not aiming the points below at anyone in particular because I've seen it in so many places, especially in social media and the punditry.
One of the fallacies we studied in the logic class I used to teach was a category error we called "lump and dump." It's what happens when we lump things into a category based on a similarity or two, but ignore relevant and important (often fundamental) differences.
We end up basically asserting things like "affirming the full humanity of homosexuals = 'gay rights' = anti-Christian sexual ethics = anti-family = the ruin of all western civilization." What gets lost in that sequence is the fact that folks who identify with LGBTQ+ are human beings made in God's image and do indeed have rights, some of which need protecting and some of which even need expanding (others, not so much, e.g. marriage). We're seeing a similar phenomenon right now with race issues, where a couple of buzzwords lead to reasoning like "belief in systemic racism = you can be racist and not know it = all white people are racists because they're white = CRT = the end of Western civilization."
The worst part of 'lump and dump' is that individual ideas don't get examined on their merits. They get lumped together and rejected by association with other ideas/groups/agendas, etcI don't know if "systemic racism" is real or not. I think it probably is. My gripe with "systemic" anything is that it moves a problem in to the realm of unsolvability. You can't really fix "the system." You can change how individuals think and behave and systems arise out of that. So all the "systemic" talk is, to me, not very helpful in solving problems. I don't see it as an insidious evil. Regardless, it isn't proved true or false by association with some extremistsEven though we disagree on much in this topic, I agree with this. My thoughts on TSA's "Let's Talk About Racism" are based on the document itself (I saved a copy), not on confusing it with CRT or because Fox or Rufo or anyone else told me it's a problem, even though I first heard about it through regular news feeds. I agree that you go to the source and examine the ideas directly, on their own merits. The document itself says a number of things that are easy for me to disagree with. It's now been officially withdrawn, so it will be interesting to see it when it's re-released with whatever edits they are going to make to it.
My real concern in trying to discern the intent of TSA and whether I contribute to them in the future would be whether any new, edited version actually represents what they think, or if they are disingenuously putting out a version they don't agree with to try and smooth over the controversy the first version caused. | eng | bef056f4-4a6b-4bf4-9e3a-6f99a2bd160e | https://sharperiron.org/comment/125427 |
Alternatives to Dissection in Your High School Biology Classroom
Dissection is a classical biological and anatomical activity in many middle, high school, and college-level courses. The experience can be quite traumatizing for some students and could turn some students away from medical or other biological careers... even if those careers don't involve live or dead organisms. Alternatives exist that can keep everyone involved, reduces trauma, reduces animal suffering and death, and may serve to save money in the long run.
In the list that follows, I have provided a brief introduction to some programs and opportunities for students in your biological sciences classroom. Many of these alternatives provide high-quality, interactive experiences that can sometimes be even more instructive than traditional dissection.
Computer Simulations and Digital Dissections: With the growth of technology, there are many digital dissection tools available. Programs like Froguts, Digital Frog, and others provide virtual dissection experiences where students can "dissect" a variety of organisms on their computers or tablets. They usually provide high-quality images, comprehensive information about the organism, and interactive exploration opportunities. Students can often dissect and reassemble the organism multiple times, improving their understanding.
Implementation: An assignment could involve students using a program like Froguts to virtually dissect a frog. The students would follow the on-screen instructions to make cuts, remove organs, and identify structures, and then submit screenshots or written answers to questions about the structures they identified.
3D Models: These are physical models of animals or parts of an organism that can be used to teach students about anatomy. 3D models can be highly detailed and accurate, and they can be taken apart and put back together.
Implementation:During a unit on human anatomy, you could use a detailed 3D model of the human heart. Students could work in groups to take the heart apart, identify the different structures, and then put it back together. They could also be given a worksheet with questions about the function of each part of the heart to answer as they work.
Videos and Animations: Videos of actual dissections can be a powerful tool in the classroom. They can show real-life examples of the processes and techniques involved in dissection, which can be paused, replayed, or slowed down for further understanding. Similarly, animations can provide a more stylized and approachable way to demonstrate the same concepts. Though still a violent act, this provides an option. Teachers could show an older video without having to contribute to fresh acts of violence and animal capture just for dissection. This could also be a possibility for teachers where their administration is more adamant about having a "LIVE' experience. This still could be a traumatic experience however so teachers must use caution and survey the room.
Implementation: Show a video of a professional biologist dissecting an animal, and pause the video periodically to discuss the techniques being used, the structures being identified, and any other relevant points. Students can take notes and answer questions related to the video.
Online Interactive Anatomy Platforms: Sites like BioDigital offer comprehensive, interactive 3D models of various organisms. These can be rotated, zoomed in, and virtually dissected to provide a highly detailed view of anatomical structures.
Implementation:For a lesson on fish anatomy, students could use BioDigital to explore a 3D model of a fish. They would identify different structures, learn about their functions, and complete a worksheet or quiz based on their exploration.
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) Tools: These tools, such as VictoryXR, can provide an immersive dissection experience. With AR, students can use a smartphone or tablet to view and interact with 3D models in the real world. With VR, students can use a headset to step into a virtual lab and perform a dissection. There are smartphone apps such as Visible Body as well as inexpensive cardboard VR headsets to use. Advanced apps such as Dissection Master XR is a great tool for advanced Medical courses in AP, college, and University.
Implementation: Using a tool like Microsoft HoloLens, students could perform a VR dissection of a shark. They would use hand gestures to "cut" into the shark, remove organs, and identify structures, then submit a report or presentation based on their findings.
Synthetic Animal Models (like SynFrog): SynFrog, created by SynDaver, is a highly realistic, synthetic model of a frog that can be used as an alternative to traditional dissection. The model is crafted to mimic the texture, color, and complexity of a real frog's anatomy. The synthetic frog includes removable, anatomically correct organs and does not contain any harmful chemicals or odors, ensuring a safe and ethical learning environment. SynFrog presents a unique opportunity for students to learn about anatomy without causing harm to living creatures. This realistic model eliminates the exposure to potentially hazardous chemicals like formaldehyde and formalin which are commonly used in traditional dissection. Moreover, this tool provides a unique hands-on experience to understand anatomy in-depth. Implementation: Teachers could use the SynFrog Dissection Model in a lesson about amphibian anatomy. The lesson could begin with a brief lecture about frog anatomy, after which the students, working individually or in small groups, could dissect their SynFrog models following the instructions provided in the dissection lab guide. Students could remove and identify organs, and then put them back. To wrap up, students could complete the provided lab worksheet to reinforce what they've learned or prepare a short presentation discussing the frog's anatomy and the function of its various organs.
The alternatives to traditional animal dissection, such as digital tools, 3D models, animations, online platforms, VR/AR technology, and synthetic models like SynFrog, provide a significant advancement in humane biology education. They help reduce student stress and give more wary students the confidence to participate without feeling traumatized. They reduce animal suffering and death, eliminate exposure to harmful preservation chemicals, and offer reusable, cost-effective learning solutions. These resources foster a detailed understanding of anatomy through safe, interactive, and engaging experiences. By incorporating these innovative tools, educators can promote respect for life and science while ensuring a high-quality, affordable education for their students. | eng | db40ce8f-a03b-4edf-a58e-38bcebaca939 | https://www.amazinglife.bio/post/alternatives-to-dissection-in-your-high-school-biology-classroom |

WOULD HILLARY'S ELECTION CAUSE AN AMERICAN CIVIL WAR? That's what Roger Simon is pondering at his Diary of a Mad Voter blog:
Almost no one who voted against her would be giving her the benefit of the doubt. Why should they? They would be looking for ways to reject her presidency. Tax avoidance would be endemic. Why give money to a country where the president abjures the rule of law? (Yes, that's already happened but this would, after a political campaign, be a force multiplier.) With the national treasury under threat, all sorts of results could occur — a stock market meltdown beyond what we are experiencing now, full scale depression like the 1930s, urban riots that make Baltimore and Ferguson look like Kiddyland, nonstop demonstrations of all sorts from all sides, millions of people opting out á la John Galt (most without knowing who he is), an American decline beyond recognition (if you think things are bad now, you haven't seen anything), little border control with giant Islamic spillover from Europe, terror attacks routine, and, yes, remote a possibility as it may be, a violent civil war between between sides in a hugely split society.
Who would believe a President Hillary Clinton — already a documented liar — to prevent or ameliorate all this?
Is this a screenwriters fantasy or the reality of, say, 2018? You decide.

Classical management theory is a framework of management thought that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is based on the idea that there is a single "best" way to manage organizations, and that this approach can be determined through scientific analysis.
The classical management theory is often associated with the work of Frederick Winslow Taylor, who is credited with developing the concept of "scientific management." Taylor believed that the key to improving efficiency and productivity in organizations was to carefully analyze and break down each task into its component parts, and then to develop a standard way of performing each task. He believed that this would allow managers to identify the most efficient way of doing things, and to eliminate waste and inefficiency.
Another key figure in the development of classical management theory was Henri Fayol. Fayol developed a set of principles for management, which he believed were applicable to all organizations. These principles included the division of labor, the chain of command, unity of direction, unity of command, subordination of individual interests to the general interest, and the scalar chain.
Classical management theory is based on a number of assumptions, including the idea that people are rational and motivated by self-interest, and that organizations are rational entities that can be managed in a rational way. It also assumes that there is a clear hierarchy of authority within organizations, and that decisions should be made by those at the top of the hierarchy.
One of the main criticisms of classical management theory is that it is overly prescriptive and inflexible. It assumes that there is a single "best" way to manage an organization, and that this approach can be determined through scientific analysis. However, critics argue that this approach does not take into account the complexity and unpredictability of organizations and the people who work within them.
Despite its criticisms, classical management theory has had a significant influence on the way that organizations are managed and has shaped many of the management practices that are still in use today. It continues to be an important and influential approach to management, and is often studied in business and management courses.
What is Classical Management Theory? Definition, Features, & Types
The movie camera is used to conduct this study. The research resulted in the development of classical management theory. There is also a clear organizational hierarchy. Henry Fayol was a French mining engineer turned chief administrator in a large French mining and metallurgical company. At the very top are the owners, board of directors and executives that set the long-range objectives for a firm.
Weaknesses of the Classical Management Theories
It proposes that employees will work harder and be more productive if they are awarded incentives based on their work. Under this branch, written rules and regulations describe how the organization should operate. Management Theories Management is a vital part of any organization. Principles of Scientific Management : ADVERTISEMENTS: The Scientific Management Approach propounded by F. Functions of Management according to Fayol : i Planning ii Organising iii Coordinating iv Commanding, and v Controlling. It implies to build team spirit among the employees so that they work with proper mutual understanding as to make their respective contribution for achieving goals.

Fayol observed that discipline is what leaders make it. While the manufacturing industry is not as prevalent today given all the advancements in technology and outsourcing, manufacturers still use this type of management theory. Bureaucratic organization is the most rational means of carrying out proper control over human beings. Hierarchical Structure In classical management theory, the highest level of the management hierarchy comprises of c suite executives, board of directors, etc. All employees in bureaucratic organization are attached to hierarchy of authority which is rational and legal in nature. Bureaucratic standardized principles, rules, and regulations trained administrative personnel, etc.
What is Classical Management Theory? Define, Types, Application
When they did this, they began to notice some new problems inside their factory systems. Employees also want to feel valued and take pride in their work. Fredrick Winslow Taylor is the father of scientific management. The main aim of the scientific management approach, to optimize the efficiency of the work process, was not its weakest link. Sessions get recorded for you to access for quick revision later, just by a quick login to your account. You also can consider other alternative management styles such as the. Static conditions Organizations are influenced by external conditions that often fluctuate over time, yet classical management, theory presents an image of an organization that is not shaped by external influences.
Classical Approach to Management
Behavioral management theory humanizes business. It also implies compliance with organisational directives and rules, orders and instructions of superior and to co-operation with fellow workers. The notable contributions have also been made by Oliver Sheldon, Haldane, Luther Gullick, Mooney and Reiley, Urwick and many others. Both these factors motivate the workers to work harder and in doing so they earn more wages. On the other hand, Foyal has described his principles as the general principles of management.
2.1 Classical Management Theories
Principles of Management : Fayol listed fourteen principles based on his experience. According to this system, wages are paid on the basis of work done and not on the basis of time spent in doing the work. Human machinery Classical theories leave the impression that the organization is a machine and that workers are simply parts to be fitted into the machine to make it run efficiently. Work should be divided and assigned to each employees in the organization to achieve high degree of precision, ii Hierarchy of Authority — The bureaucratic structure is hierarchical in nature. They also assume that productivity is the best measure of how well a firm is performing. It uses emerging technologies and statistical analysis to make decisions, streamline operations and quantify performance. Managerial Qualities and Training: Henry Fayol identified the various qualities for a manager.
Scientific Management Theory: Definition, History, Principles, Goals
ADVERTISEMENTS: If such an atmosphere prevails in an organisation, then both the parties would aim for the achievement of the same goal i. Other contributors like Frank and Lilian Gilbreth, Henry Gantt Emerson also suggested the effective use of human beings in industrial organisation. Also, specialization ensures that there is complete clarity of the roles and responsibilities of each and every individual worker. This type of management does not take into consideration the job satisfaction of employees or their social or emotional needs. In bureaucratic management, the promotion of the employee is solely based on the employee's quality of work. Under this type of management there is a rigid three-tiered leadership structure, lower or first, mid, and top. Fayol tried to develop a complete theory of management.
Classical Management Theory Explained
How the task is performed? Lesson Summary During the industrial revolution, a time when factories were in a rapid state of growth, the study of management became extremely popular due to the need to find the best way to perform tasks and supervise employees. In spite of these limitations, Fayol made a unique and outstanding contribution to the management theory. The Classical Manager To better understand classical management theory, let's take a peek into this 19th century factory and see what's going on. Scientific management provides workers with both these things. As its name implies, this management theory uses scientific methods to assess work processes. Probably no other person has had a greater impact on the early development of management.
Classical Management Theory
Manufacturing organizations needed to do these processes to beat out their competition and keep up with demand. Division of labour leads to specialization and rationality brings effectiveness in decision making. That is why they both have laid stress upon the practical aspect of work. He has been with Business News Daily and business. The theoretical side is used to understand how specific management theories relate to learning organizations. It believed in a few basic principles. Since organizations wanted to increase their production, they looked at the job to be completed and broke it down into smaller specialized tasks. | eng | d307ac1e-d5cc-4fcb-a181-d91cd8c61c5d | http://childhealthpolicy.vumc.org/murigyd24015.html |

27 APRIL 2020 BLOG 4 BOOK OF SONGS AUTHOR'S 2ND AUTOBIOGRAPHY
27 APRIL 2020 BLOG 4
A partial part of one's life, well, my life has been led
in the shadow of fear, doubt, and everything else that wasn't aligned with my
soul. Some parts of my life were lived without any glow, without any light, and
I knew it all too well. I talked about some of this in my book Let Go and Let God…And Then What? But
now we are moving on. All of my attention and focus are on where I am and want
to be.
So, from a different
set of lenses, I now know that I've lived a charmed life, both in the shadows
and in my own light.
Let it all go
Cover your heart with whatever you decide;
Keep it locked, keep it hidden away.
Someday it will find you where you are.
Can you hide from your reflection?
A time ago what so long ago.
Let it go and step into today.
How far back do you want to go?
Let the wind in your sail.
The spring of your life is here.
See the cherry blossoms.
Believe me when I say,
Each pedal is a life that goes on and on.
Each one is perfect.
You can never get wrong.
It's never ending,
So let it go and step into today.
Let it go, release yourself.
Let the wind in your sail.
hmmm, hmmm, hmmm.
Oh….oh…oh.
Let it all go.
Release yourself to today.
It's where life goes on and on,
In the pedal of each cherry blossom,
This can never be taken away.
Let it go, release yourself.
Let the wind in your sail.
hmmm, hmmm, hmmm.
Oh….oh…oh.
Let it all go.
It's
a hard life when you do everything but follow your very own instinct. I know that
you know this already. A common default response to life when we don't get what
we want, or when things turn out differently than what we wanted is to say "what
will be will be", and "there is nothing I can do about it".
You don't need me or anyone else to tell you what you
already know. So why do we do the exact opposite of what it is we know we are
supposed to be doing? Why do we explore the caves of despair, the valleys of
sorrow, and the mountains of pain? Is it all a part of life? Are we meant to
know dark in order to know light? We've heard this before somewhere. Why do we
accept "what will be will be"?
What's the gain in experiencing despair, sorrow, and
in experiencing pain when it is self-inflicted?
I too try to understand the world we live in, as well
as myself. "Where have I gone wrong?" I ask myself. "Where have I gone right?"
"Where bla bla bla …", all sorts of questions…and still there is never really a
right answer, one that is very satisfying other than…I didn't follow my
instinct. So why did I not follow my instinct?
There are many answers to this question. Some have
been revealed not only to you but to myself in Let Go and Let God…And Then What? But overall, this question I've
answered many times, over and over again, and I always land on…Suzanne, you didn't
follow your instinct.
Not following your instinct can lead to what we know
as a self-fulfilling prophecy. I've said to myself on many occasions – "I knew
this would happen!". I'm certain you've walked down this same path. We must be
magicians to be able to control the future, right? Well…if we are magicians who
can control the future, why can't we do it and be certain of our craft, in that
we will get what we want…the good stuff…the stuff we really want and not what
we fear we will get, and what we fear we'll experience?
I feel we try too hard when we want something. We try
too hard when we don't want something. We just try too hard in most things and
everything. Why do we try so hard? I don't have an answer to that question for
you. I only have the answer to that question for me. I try so hard because I
believe that's what I'm supposed to be doing. I will fight a storm around me
when I know that I am to be still and calm. I will run when I know that I am to
walk. I will be frightened when I know that I am safe. I will cry when I know that
I should be smiling. I will be sad when I know that I am to be happy.
We accept orders and commands from some other being
other than our true self on how we 'think' we should be feeling, and how we
'think' we should be doing, and how we 'think' we should be acting, instead of
trusting our own feelings. What can possibly go wrong when we trust our
instinct?
There is always 'what will be will be'. That's an easy
one. Then there's the whole world to blame when you bleed out from your own
choices. You will dig yourself in deeper into that cave of despair. You will walk
head low in the valley of sorrow. You will grip the rocks until your fingers
bleed to reach that mountain of pain. It's all very dramatic, but it's what
many of us do. We do this until we decide otherwise, and act on not doing this
any longer.
Your decision to not do this to yourself is only valid
if you take action to not do it again. Otherwise, all of your decisions remain
in your head. Unless those decisions get out of your head and out into the
world, I fear that you will be on that treadmill until you actually step off
it.
It's a tricky one, isn't it? When do you make that
decision? Who are all the people you think you will hurt when you decide to act
on this decision? Would they be all of the people you currently know? Probably
some of them. But you know what? That's not your problem. Do not add this to
the list of problems you created for yourself. We think that by being kind,
considerate, etc…towards others, we are doing what we are supposed to be doing.
Are we a little too self-righteous in our thoughts and actions? Think about
this one. Are you more concerned about someone else's feelings than you are
about your own? Really think about this question. Allow yourself to really feel
this question. Does being a person who is totally correct or morally superior
look around at the world or down at it? Do you want to be a part of this world
or above all of the others who make up this world?
Does this virtue you cling to actually separate you
from your sphere – your highest self? This virtuous energy you cling to can be
transferred to a strong belief in what is right – your instinct -of your own
actions or opinion of what is best for you, instead of projecting this onto
others. Imagine the power this would have on your day-to-day life!
Yes, imagine! Where can your imagination take you with
all of this energy that is focused on yourself, when you are in total alignment
with your highest self? What do you mean to yourself? How much do you mean to
yourself? Imagine what it feels like and looks like when you are being the real
version of You. | eng | 5c027eb8-b083-4283-afed-59688579cd59 | https://suzannemondoux.com/2020/04/27/book-of-songs-authors-2nd-autobiography-4/ |
how to make camp fire
If you're anything like me, you love spending time outdoors and enjoying a good camp fire. Here are some tips on how to make your camp fire the best it can be!
Introduction
Campfires are one of the best ways to enjoy the outdoors, but they also require responsibility and knowledge to build and maintain safely. Use this guide to learn how to build a campfire, get it started, and keep it going throughout your night in the great outdoors.
What You'll Need
Building a campfire is an essential skill for any budding outdoorsman or woman. Not only can it be used to cook food or boil water, but it's also great for warmth and light in emergencies. With a little practice, you'll be able to build a campfire anywhere, anytime.
All you need is some tinder (dry grass, leaves, etc.), kindling (twigs, small branches), and fuel (larger pieces of wood). Once you have these materials gathered, you're ready to build your fire.
Step One: Find a Good Spot
The first step in building a campfire is finding a good spot. You'll want to find a spot that's away from any trees or bushes, and clear of any dead leaves or grass. Once you've found a spot, clear away any rocks or sticks that might be in your way.
Step Two: Gather Your Materials
Now that you've found a good spot, it's time to gather your materials. You'll need some wood, of course, as well as some rocks for your fire pit. If you have a campfire ring, now is the time to set it up. If not, you can just build a small fire pit out of rocks.
Step Three: Build Your Fire
Now it's time to build your fire. Start by creating a tepee out of your smaller pieces of wood. Then, add your larger pieces of wood to the tepee. Once your fire is built, light it with a match or lighter.
Step Four: Enjoy Your Campfire!
Once your campfire is lit, sit back and enjoy the warmth and light. Be sure to keep an eye on the fire at all times, and make sure to put it out completely when you're done!
Step Two: Clear Away the Debris
Be sure to clear away any leaves, sticks, or other debris from where you intend to build your fire. If you build your fire on top of flammable materials, there is a greater risk that the fire will get out of control. Once you have cleared a spot for your fire, use a shovel to dig a small pit. This will help to contain the fire and prevent it from spreading.
Step Three: Create a Circle of Stones
If you're using a stone fire ring, place the ring on level ground in the area you've chosen for your campsite. If you don't have a stone fire ring, gather a bunch of medium to large rocks and piled them in a circular shape that's about three feet across.
Step Four: Build Your Fire
Building a campfire is pretty simple. Just remember the acronym "TEAL": Tinder, Kindling, Air, Logs.
Tinder is your small, easily combustible material. This could be things like dry grass, leaves, or small twigs.
Kindling is slightly larger pieces of wood that will help ignite your fire. These could be things like small sticks or branches.
Air is important for keeping your fire oxygenated so that it will continue to burn. You can do this by blowing on the fire or using a bellows.
Logs are the final piece of the puzzle. These are the large pieces of wood that will keep your fire going for a long time.
Step Five: Add Fuel and Light Your Fire
Now it's time to light your fire. You can use a lighter or matches, but we recommend using a Ferro rod. A Ferro rod is a metal rod that you can strike with your knife to create a spark. This is a great skill to have in case you ever find yourself in a survival situation.
To use a Ferro rod, hold the rod in one hand and the knife in the other. Place the blade of the knife against theRod at a 45-degree angle. Then, quickly scrape the blade down the length of the rod. This will create sparks that will fall into your tinder bundle and start your fire.
Enjoy Your Campfire!
Building a campfire is an essential part of the camping experience. Not only will it provide warmth and light, but it can also be used for cooking or simply enjoying the flames. Follow these steps to build a safe and enjoyable campfire.
Choose a location. Make sure your fire pit is at least 10 feet away from any flammable objects like trees, bushes, or tents. If you're in a area with lots of trees, make sure to clear an area around your fire pit down to the ground.
Gather your materials. You'll need tinder (small pieces of dry wood that will catch fire easily), kindling (smaller pieces of wood that will help the fire grow), and fuel (larger pieces of wood that will keep the fire going).
Build a tepee structure with your tinder and kindling in the center of your fire pit. This will help the air flow through your fire and make it easier to light.
Light the tepee structure with a match or lighter. Once the tepee is lit, carefully add some of your fuel logs to keep the fire going.
Enjoy your campfire! Remember to extinguish your fire completely before you leave by dousing it with water and stirring the ashes until they're cool to the touch. | eng | 916441de-c6ca-4b38-861b-f2b3b167c0b7 | https://www.freshisfierce.com/how-to-make-camp-fire/ |
How To Cope With Hearing Loss
If you notice signs of hearing loss, talk to your doctor. If you have trouble hearing, you should:
Let people know you have a hearing problem.
Ask people to face you and to speak more slowly and clearly. Also, ask them to speak louder without shouting.
Pay attention to what is being said and to facial expressions or gestures.
Let the person talking know if you do not understand what he or she said.
Ask the person speaking to reword a sentence and try again.
Find a good location to listen. Place yourself between the speaker and sources of noise and look for quieter places to talk.
The most important thing you can do if you think you have a hearing problem is to seek professional advice. Your family doctor may be able to diagnose and treat your hearing problem. Or, your doctor may refer you to other experts, like an otolaryngologist or an audiologist .
How Bad Is My Hearing Loss
The only way to answer this question is to have it measured by a hearing professional and charted on anaudiogram. We will document your hearing thresholds using various tests, charting the softest sounds you can hear at different frequencies or pitches. The result will be an audiogram, which visually shows what sounds you have the most trouble hearing and how severe your hearing loss is.
How Does The Ear Work
It is easier to understand sensorineural ;hearing loss if you know more about how the ear works. The ear is made up of 3 main parts: 1) the outer ear, 2) the middle ear, and 3) the inner ear. The outer ear extends from the part of the ear you can touch to the ear drum. The outer ear acts like a funnel to direct sound to the ear drum.
The ear drum separates the outer ear and the middle ear. Behind the ear drum is the middle ear, which is normally filled with air. Three tiny bones inside the middle ear are named for their shapes: the malleus , the incus , and the stapes . The 3 bones connect to form a chain. The first bone, the malleus, is connected to the ear drum. The last bone, the stapes, is connected to another tiny membrane called the oval window.
The oval window is the beginning of the inner ear, or cochlea. When sound hits the ear drum, the tiny bones are set in motion, and the last one pushes on the oval window. Inside the cochlea are more than 15,000 tiny nerve endings, called hair cells. These hair cells are surrounded by fluid. The hair cells change the sound waves into electrical impulses that travel along the auditory nerve to the brain. The brain processes these impulses and changes the sounds into something meaningful to you.
Symptoms Of A Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Typically, a sensorineural hearing loss develops gradually and slowly becomes worse and worse. It does not happen from day to another unless it is a sudden sensorineural hearing loss . In this way, we often do not notice that our hearing has becomes worse.
But if it has become more difficult to hear voices in places with background noise, e.g. at parties, restaurants or family gatherings, or it has become more difficult to hear or understand females or childrens voices, you might have a sensorineural hearing loss. Problems hearing soft or high sounds such as the clock ticking, the refrigerator humming or the birds singing may also be an indication of a sensorineural hearing loss.
If you are not sure whether you are suffering from SNHL, you can find more information about the general signs of hearing loss.
If you think that you might have a sensorineural hearing loss, we recommend that you get your hearing checked by a hearing professional.
How Is It Treated
Treatment for hearing loss varies depending upon the cause of the hearing impairment. Treatment may involve removing wax or dirt from the ear or treating an underlying infection. If there is damage or a structural problem with the eardrum or ossicles, surgery may help to repair it. If the problem is with the cochlea or hearing nerve, a hearing aid or cochlear implant may be recommended.
Hearing aids come in various forms that fit inside or behind the ear and make sounds louder. They are adjusted by the audiologist so that the sound coming in is amplified enough to allow the person with a hearing impairment to hear it clearly.
Sometimes, the hearing loss is so severe that the most powerful hearing aids can't amplify the sound enough. In those cases, a cochlear implant may be recommended.
Cochlear implants are surgically implanted devices that bypass the damaged inner ear and send signals directly to the auditory nerve. A small microphone behind the ear picks up sound waves and sends them to a receiver that has been placed under the scalp. This receiver then transmits impulses directly to the auditory nerve. These signals are perceived as sound and allow the person to hear.
Depending upon whether someone is born without hearing or loses hearing later in life , medical professionals will determine how much therapy the person needs to learn to use an implant effectively. Many people with implants learn to hear sounds effectively and even use the telephone.

The Symptoms Of Sudden Hearing Loss
Ear pressure and/or tinnitus are the first signs of a sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Symptoms usually occur at once or after a few days, usually in one ear. The severity of the symptoms may vary significantly. In worst case scenarios, permanent deafness may be possible.
The symptoms for sudden hearing loss include: Occurrence of hearing loss without a recognizable cause The absence of earache Hearing loss in one ear only
The accompanying symptoms include: Loss of sensation in the outer ear Ear pressure
Canadian Academy Of Audiology
Presbycusis is the loss of hearing that gradually occurs in most individuals as they growolder. Hearing loss is a common disorder associated with aging. About 30-35 percentof adults between the ages of 65 and 75 years have a hearing loss. It is estimated that40-50 percent of people 75 and older have a hearing loss. The loss associated withpresbycusis is usually greater for high-pitched sounds. For example, it may be difficultfor someone to hear the nearby chirping of a bird or the ringing of a telephone. However,the same person may be able to clearly hear the low-pitched sound of a truck rumblingdown the street.
There are many causes of presbycusis. Most commonly, it arises from changes in theinner ear of a person as he or she ages, but presbycusis can also result from complexchanges along the nerve pathways leading to the brain. Presbycusis most often occursin both ears, affecting them equally. Because the process of loss is gradual, people whohave presbycusis may not realize that their hearing is diminishing.
Causes Of Sensorineural Hearing Loss
There are several causes of sensorineural hearing loss. One frequent cause is age-associated hearing loss, which can begin at the age of 50 or 60. This type of hearing loss is usually accompanied by a reduced perception of high tones.
The second most common cause is noise. Noise related hearing loss is one of the most frequently recognized occupational illnesses in the United States. Six to eight hours of noise above 85dB on a daily basis is able to cause this type of hearing loss.
Additional reasons for sensorineural hearing loss include circulatory problems, as they may occur in diabetes mellitus, arteriosclerosis, or sudden hearing loss, as well as metabolic illnesses, such as thyroid malfunction.
Surgery For Conductive Hearing Loss
Conductive hearing loss occurs when there is an;obstruction or damage to the outer or middle ear that prevents sound from being conducted to;the inner ear. Conductive hearing loss may be temporary or permanent, depending on the cause and sometimes, medical or surgical intervention can restore hearing.
The Distortional Component Of Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Lets talk about the distortional component of hearing loss.; As I said, we have studied a lot about threshold and loudness changes in sensorineural hearing loss, or at least dynamic range size changes in sensorineural hearing loss and how you would change the prescribed compression in a hearing aid based on loudness changes.; Of course, there are many more elements of the processing disruptions in sensorineural hearing loss.
Autoimmune Inner Ear Disease
As explained above, autoimmune inner ear disease is a specific kind of autoimmune disease that targets certain inner ear cells and causes your immune system to view them as foreign. This disease can occur on its own or be part of a wider spread autoimmune disorder.;
AIED is also extremely rare. While hearing loss is one of the most common disabilities, less than one percent of people with hearing loss will experience AIED. Despite it being so rare, it has had very definable presentations in the people who have developed it.;
Typically a person who has AIED will experience this disease with a sudden onset of hearing loss. This is called sensorineural hearing loss, or SNHL.
Not only does it develop quickly, but it typically develops unilaterally before eventually becoming bilateral. This means that the most common presentation of AIED will be sudden, unexplained loss of hearing in one ear over a short period of time, eventually followed by loss of hearing in the second ear as well.
This disease has proven hard to diagnose because it is similar in presentation to many others. The ability to recognize that the immune system is attacking healthy cells in the ear is difficult. One symptom that has been reported commonly with AIED is the presence of tinnitus.;
Hearing Aids Turn An Invisible Disability Into A Visible One
One of the biggest problems for someone with a hearing loss is that it is invisible. Meaning that someone looking at you cannot tell if you have a problem hearing or not. Now, you may like this fact but in reality, it does you a disservice.;
When someone knows that you have a hearing loss they will naturally try to speak slower and more clear. People articulate their words more and face you when speaking to you. If they are not aware of your hearing loss, they likely speak while not looking at you and talk to you when there is background noise present.
Think of it this way with this analogy. Imagine that you were in a wheelchair. No one in their right mind would ever take you to a set of stairs and ask you to walk down it. However, if you have a hearing loss, anyone wouldnt think twice about taking you into a very noisy restaurant and say lets have a conversation.;
This is because hearing loss is an invisible disability, people do not realize that you may struggle to hear in a complexed noisy environment. When you wear a visible hearing aid. Meaning one that isnt hidden down deep in your ear canal, co-workers, strangers and anyone else will be able to see that you have a hearing loss and naturally use better communication strategies.;
What Causes Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss
A cause for SSHL can be identified in only 10 to 15 percent of diagnosed cases. Some possible known causes include:
Can Conductive Hearing Loss Be Treated With Surgery
If you do have conductive hearing loss, the odds are good that it can be reversed through a surgical procedure.
Common surgeries for correcting conductive hearing loss include:
PE tubes. Patients with chronic ear infectionsusually childrenmay be treated with pressure equalization tubes. These provide ventilation and allow fluid that has built up in the inner ear to drain. PE tubes are inserted surgically and should fall out on their own after 6-18 months.
Stapedectomy. Patients whose hearing loss is caused by a hardening of bone tissue in the middle ear known as osteosclerosis often undergo a surgical procedure called a stapedectomy. This involves either partial or total removal of the stapes bone, letting sound waves pass through to the inner ear unimpeded. 90 percent of patients who have this procedure report a significant improvement in their hearing afterward.
While its great that surgery can, in some cases, reverse hearing loss, its important to note that the vast majority of patients have damage to the inner ear, which cannot be corrected.
Can Sshl Be Treated With Surgery
Most patients are prescribed hearing aids to help them hear better and communicate more effectively. Those with severe hearing loss or deafness may be candidates for cochlear implants.
This surgical procedure bypasses damaged portions of the inner ear to directly stimulate the auditory nerve.
How do cochlear implants work?
Cochlear implants contain an electronic device that is surgically implanted beneath the ear; it is connected to electrodes that are placed in the cochlea. An external portion includes a microphone that captures sound and a processor that converts the sound to electrical signals that are transmitted to the internal component and converted to sound. This isnt true hearing, however; cochlear implant patients must learn how to decode signals in order to understand speech and other sounds.
The Role Of Hair Cells
The human ear is divided into three sections; the outer ear, the middle ear, and the inner ear. There is an organ known as the cochlea in the inner ear, which contains microscopic hair cells known as stereocilia. The stereocilia are responsible for the conversion of vibrations in sound waves into neural signals that are transported to the brain through the auditory nerve. The brain interprets this signal as a sound and relays it back to the ear. These inner ear hair cells that play a vital role in your hearing can get damaged by exposure to loud noise. Exposure to sounds or noise louder than 85 decibels can permanently damage the hair cells. This type of damage often results in severe hearing loss. In most cases, you will not experience sensorineural hearing loss until about thirty to fifty percent of the hair cells in your inner ear have been damaged. Once they are damaged, hair cells cannot be repaired or replaced. This means that your hearing loss will be permanent. Sensorineural hearing loss often starts with difficulty understanding high frequency or high pitched sounds, but as more damage occurs, hearing in the lower frequency may become worse.
In Search Of Better Faster And Safer
What is a sensorineural hearing loss?
So things seemed to stand, until recently. Then several studies were published that challenged these long-held assumptions, suggesting that steroids given by injection into the ear, called intratympanic steroid injection, could achieve a higher concentration of the drug in the inner ear than could oral administration and that this might salvage more hearing than oral steroid therapy. The use of the injection was rst studied in guinea pigs by Lorne Parnes, M.D., and his colleagues, who later showed the efcacy of this approach in some cases of SSNHL in humans.7 The steroid, injected into the middle ear in a simple ofce procedure, will partially diffuse into the inner ear uids. Parnes reported some hearing improvement in 6 of 12 patients with SSNHL treated this way. Since then, a handful of other uncontrolled studies on intratympanic steroid injection for SSNHL has suggested that treatment is benecial in one-half to three-fourths of cases, similar to the results of using oral steroids.
For all its apparent promise, however, the actual success rate is not known for intratympanic steroid injections as compared with oral treatment, because no studies have been published with control populations treated with conventional oral dosing. To produce the evidence and answers needed, a national multicenter clinical trial sponsored by the National Institutes of Health is now underway.
The Importance Of Getting A Hearing Evaluation
About one in four U.S. adults who report excellent to good hearing already has hearing losswhich means, getting a professional hearing exam not only helps identify existing hearing loss, but also provides a baseline for measuring any future loss.
Its important for anyone who believes they may have a hearing loss to see an otolaryngologist or an audiologist to get a proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Hearing aid specialists also can provide basic hearing tests.
Although procedures may vary somewhat from state to state and among practices, a basic hearing evaluation is likely to involve three steps:
A review of the individuals hearing and general health, including family history
A visual examination of the ear canal with an otoscopea special magnifying light used for this purpose
Hearing testing, which may include:
A tone test during which the individual wears headphones and listens for short tones of different volumes and pitch that are played into the right and left ears separately
A pressure test, which uses air pressure to determine the flexibility of the eardrum and tiny bones in the middle ear
A speech test, which involves listening to spoken words at different volumes, and repeating them
Why Has Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss Not Been Addressed Sooner
Most of us have become educated about the warning signs of stroke, heart attack, and other illnesses. And in order to hold off or treat those conditions, weve been advised to watch our diet, exercise more, control our cholesterol and blood pressure, perhaps take baby aspirin, or other medications. But what about SSHL? Are there warning signs? Which protocols should you follow if you should experience SSHL? What are the treatments to resolve SSHL? And is there agreement about these questions in the medical community?
Every year, about 8,000 people in the US experience sudden onset hearing loss, according to Healthy Hearing and the American Hearing Research Foundation. That number, of course, does not include those cases that go unreported and undiagnosed. Nine out of 10 occurrences of SSHL is in one ear only, but sudden bilateral hearing loss also happens. Men and women are affected equally. The average age of first occurrence is mid-40s to mid-50s, with an increasing incidence with age. Tinnitus is reported in roughly 40% of cases. SSHL accounts for 1% of all sensorineural hearing loss cases. | eng | 6b35d3a8-faa5-4819-8f46-e12e87254d4e | https://www.healthyhearingclub.net/can-sensorineural-hearing-loss-get-better/ |
Benefits and drawbacks of 3D-printed food technology
Conventional cooking appliances may soon be replaced by software-driven processes that incorporate three-dimensional printers and lasers. However, the commercialization of this technology might take some time to get accustomed to as people consider getting them on their kitchen countertops. Researchers from the Columbia University School of Engineering and Applied Science explored the pros and cons of 3D-printed food technology as compared to the normal food we eat, as well as the future landscape of household kitchens.
Currently, the technology has only been limited to a small portion of uncooked ingredients and many consumers perceive dishes coming from it as less than appetizing. Blutinger and his team broke away from this limitation by laser printing a dish composed of seven ingredients. For a successful multi-ingredient layered print, multi-ingredient designs are built into multi-tiered structures following the same principles to architecture; more structural elements to support softer substrates. They further noted that printing multi-layered food items with precision will result in the production of more customizable foods, promote food safety, and enable its users to modify the nutrient content of their meals with ease.
Considering that 3D food printing is still a budding technology, it needs a group of supporting industries and an environment in which to create and share recipes. The highly customizable capacity of this technology makes it practical for the plant-based meat market, where careful formulation for texture and flavor is needed to mimic real meats.
One problem of 3D food printing is the low-nutrient value of these processed foods. However, the technique will enable people to tailor and personalize their nutrition - helping chefs to localize flavors and textures in the creation of new food experiences, people with dietary restrictions, parents with picky youngsters, dieticians, and athletes who need to plan their meals. Making the food look more visually appealing by mimicking the shapes of real, pureed, texture foods will be great for patients with swallowing disorders. And with the heightened need for safety amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, food prepared with less human handling lowers the risk of contracting foodborne illness and disease transmission. | eng | c01014cf-e699-4ff2-b3ba-a98ad9fe21fe | https://lab.equipment/benefits-and-drawbacks-of-3d-printed-food-technology |

The Problem With Handling Data From Multiple Sources
We recently conducted a poll posing the question 'What do you find the most challenging when presenting and analysing Data?' in Schools and Trusts, with a number of options for participants to choose from. After reviewing the results we found that handling data from multiple sources was the most common obstacle to successfully analysing data.
This is not really a surprise when you consider that Multi-Academy Trusts, for example, comprise of multiple establishments, frequently with a myriad of MIS's such as SIMS, Arbor, Bromcom, iSAMS, Schoolbase to name a few. Then add to that if you'd like to analyse individual School and Trust data from finance and HR systems, and the whole thing becomes waaaay more complicated!
One solution to this problem could be to use a data integration and management tool to combine data from multiple sources and create a centralised, easily accessible location for the data. This can help to streamline the process of gathering and analysing data from multiple sources, as well as ensuring that the data is accurate and consistent. Additionally, using a data visualisation tool can help to present the data in an easily understandable format, making it simpler for decision makers to identify trends and patterns.
It's also important to establish clear guidelines and protocols for how data should be collected and stored, to ensure that it is accurate and up to date. This can involve creating a detailed data dictionary, setting up data validation checks, and developing a system for regular data quality checks.
Ensuring that data is organised and properly labelled also helps with the presentation and analysis of data. A common format and clear labels can help to ensure that the data is easily understandable to all members of your team.
Additionally, implementing a data governance framework can help ensure that data is used ethically and in compliance with any relevant regulations.
It's worth noting that a one-size-fits-all solution does not suit all, you may need to evaluate what is the best for your specific establishment and team. An expert on data integration or data visualisation could help you design a better solution. | eng | 98c4b3a3-3bc4-47f2-9923-847e52caa3ee | https://www.schoolsbi.co.uk/news/article/the-problem-with-handling-data-from-multiple-sources |

Cycle of Learning and Teaching Cycle
Throughout our life, we never cease to learn. We learn through our experiences and events that occur. It requires good acquiring skills, and knowledge about particular things, We learn through improved performance and also through future learning.
What is the learning cycle?
A learning cycle is a term for how people learn from experience. A learning cycle may have a number of stages and doesn't particularly have a pattern to follow.
This cycle of learning follows five steps:
Past knowledge
Having past knowledge about a topic is vital. Every person consumes knowledge and experience at every stage of life. If one lacks past knowledge, one can gain it through learning.
2. Exploration
There are a million things around us. There are 2% chances that we know them all. Another cycle of learning is through exploring the things around us. This improves our knowledge and also gives us a better experience.
3. Explanation
In this stage, one can use the collected data in solving problems or using it in daily life. It enables you to try and figure out things by analyzing them with the help of past knowledge and by exploring new areas. It also helps check how you use the data collected more effectively.
Importance of Learning Cycle:
Opportunities are reflective and deliberate throughout the cycle. The Learning Cycle is a continuous process students use whenever they acquire a new skill or gain new knowledge. Experience helps create awareness and connection through knowledge and skills. It is governed by one's beliefs and perceptions. It also helps apply the received knowledge in real life through decision-making.
Teaching cycle
The teaching cycle plays a vital role as it is responsible for emitting knowledge to students. Effective imparting of knowledge enables students to better understand the context. This builds understanding of the role of texts in our culture and understanding of the topic Guided practice with the help of teachers and students construct a text.
The teacher learning cycle involves beyond what students can read and understand. It is related to the area of study of the student's choice. This is done by providing methods of good writing and by providing clear evidence of available grammatical choices and how the chosen choices add meaning to the texts.
Steps of Teaching Cycle:
Discussion on the area of study
Activities and experiments that include brainstorming, mind mapping
research on the Topic required
Vocabulary building
These steps are important as they help impart knowledge effectively. It enables the students' understanding and also through experimenting in the field of area. Throughout the cycle, students are engaged in extended discussions about their reading and are provided with opportunities to use and reuse subject-specific language.
Teachers play a leading role in shaping the students. Teachers are experts of subject knowledge in specific areas. To deliver the knowledge effectively, a teacher adheres to the stages of the teaching and training cycle. These stages are demonstrated in a circular form as it is an ongoing process. There is always room for improvement in the teaching and learning process. | eng | 273f398a-a309-4ee8-a2b2-06d24e3472fb | https://nullclass.com/cycle-of-learning-and-teaching-cycle/ |
Evolutionizing Your Trips To The Dentist
Over 20% of American struggle with fear and anxiety when it comes to making a trip to the dentist. Reasons vary from patient to patient, but the most common reasons people neglect their oral health is due to fear. This is known as dentophobia.
Do any of these phrases sound like you or someone you know?
"This is going to hurt." (Fear of pain)
"I've had a bad experience in the past." (Fear of the dentist)
"I feel unable to control the situation." (Fear of hopelessness)
"My teeth are really bad." (Fear of judgement)
"I can't afford to see the dentist." (Fear of financial impact)
If the answer is yes, then you or the person you know may benefit from sedation dentistry.
The word "sedation" may sound scary, but it really isn't! That's because it's an excellent way to bring comfort and ease to our patients who struggle with anxiety and fear over seeing the dentist, and make sure they get the oral care they need.
Using a combination of general anesthetic and sedation, sedation dentistry is revolutionizing the relationships between dentists and their patients. It gives patients the power they need to know they're getting a gentle and care-free experience.
How exactly does it work?
Not the way you might think. If you're worried about a loss of control, you need not worry. Under sedation dentistry, you're actually aware of everything taking place during your procedure. You will still be able to communicate with your dentist and the staff — you just may feel like taking a light nap. It's also likely that you won't remember much, if any, of the procedure afterward. Sedation dentistry relaxes you for 2-8 hours after administration, giving you the ability to remain calm during your appointment and after. | eng | 09d1fed6-8177-4f52-9fa9-9d41f89be43d | https://www.texassedationdental.com/uncategorized/evolutionizing-your-trips-to-the-dentist/ |

HOW TO SELECT MOUNTAIN BIKE TIRES?
When it comes to riding off road, your tires play a huge role in performance. Having the right tire can be the difference between ripping corners and sliding out. It's all about finding the perfect combination of traction, weight and durability, so let's get started!
Selecting Mountain Bike Tires
Are you riding on dirt, sand, mud, or snow? Good, then this is the right category for you. If you're riding on paved surfaces, make sure to check out our guide to road bike tires. The first question you need to ask yourself when selecting tires is where will I be riding? Deep dust, mud, lots of rocks, slippery roots, hard pack, gravel/ dirt road? The type of dirt and the conditions play a key role in the type of tire you'll want to use. Next, you'll want to consider your goal while riding. If you're a recreational rider looking to have a good time and be safe, your tire choice may be different from an XC racer riding the same trail. When you're making tire selection decisions here are some of the things you want to think about:
Tire Tread
2) XC Racing: In general, stick to shorter (low-profile) knobs that are spaced close together. This tread will reduce rolling resistance and is ideal for trails that are hard-packed and fast.
3) Trail, Enduro, Downhill: In general, you'll look for bigger knobs that can bike into the trail for more traction on loose dirt and mud.
4) The pattern of the tread can make a difference in how the tire performs in different conditions and on different trail surfaces. For example, tall knobs in the center of the tire tread can be great for fresh, loamy trails or mud, but could be a nightmare when riding on rocky trails.
5) The sidewall of the tire can also play a role in how the tire performs. Tires with thinner sidewalls are lighter weight, but can sacrifice durability, flat protection, and cornering stability.
Type of Tire
Tubeless: most mountain bike tires are tubeless ready now-a-days, meaning when paired with a tubeless rim and sealant, the tire will hold air. Tubeless tires are ideal for mountain biking because you can run lower tire pressure for better traction without the risk of pinch flats. Tubeless sealant also fills small punctures that would cause flats with traditional tires and tubes.
Folding vs Wire Bead: this refers to the material the edge of the tire (or bead) is made of. Folding tires use a Kevlar bead which is lighter weight and can be incredibly durable. Wired tires cannot be folded because the bead is made of metal. These tires are heavier, but also could have a more durable bead. Many "downhill casing" tires are not offered in folding versions. One of the biggest differences between these two types of tires is price – folding tires are more expensive.
Compound
1) Mountain bike tire compounds range from Hard to Ultra Soft.
2) Harder compounds roll faster and are more durable but sacrifice on traction control.
3) Softer compounds provide more grip but may wear out quicker.
4) Compound choices will be made based on the trail conditions, performance needs, and what is the most economical for the rider. | eng | 22314f4b-db5b-4b91-a741-6302a01b7c11 | https://alien-pros.shop/en-ca/pages/blog-how-to-select-mountain-bike-tires |

THE BASICS
Key points
Anxiety problems have a strong genetic component; most individuals with an anxiety disorder have a family history of anxiety problems.
The brains of anxious individuals tend to interpret danger or potential harm in situations that pose no actual threat.
Source: Victoria_Watercolor/Pixabay
To be able to effectively advocate for your child or teen with anxiety problems, you may first need to educate yourself a bit more. Anxiety disorders are the most common reason that children and teens seek mental health support. Despite this, anxiety issues are often missed, misdiagnosed, or misunderstood by mental health professionals who have not been adequately trained. Lay people, parents, and even mental health professionals are often confounded by the irrational nature of anxiety problems, their tendency to come and go, and what sometimes appears to be their peculiar nature.
The training I received in graduate school taught that life experiences, traumas, relationships, and the like caused anxiety problems. As a result, when I began working as a psychotherapist, I was woefully ill-equipped to treat many anxious individuals who sought my help. Talking about their anxiety didn't help my clients overcome it. It wasn't until a dear friend suddenly developed an extreme fear of flying that I took matters into my own hands and looked for better solutions. I learned about cognitive behavioraltherapy (CBT), did additional post-doctoral training, started applying these methods with my clients, and have never looked back.
I believe parents need some basic information in order to make effective decisions regarding how to deal with anxiety problems. Three topics are helpful for parents—and kids—to understand: genetics, neurological differences, and perceptual differences.
Genetics
It is widely known that anxiety problems of all types have a strong genetic component (Shimada-Sugimoto et al., 2015). In my clinical practice, I treat many anxious young children and teens, and it is rare for them not to also have a family history of anxiety problems. The parent who brings the child to therapy may themselves suffer from anxiety. At other times, the parent may initially be unaware of their own family history of anxiety because older family members have hidden their anxiety issues.
Yes, some anxiety can be cause by trauma. For example, post-traumaticstress disorder (PTSD) results from witnessing or experiencing life-threatening trauma. However, up to 40% of individuals who develop PTSD have a genetic predisposition for it (Banerjee et al., 2017).
Neurobiological Differences
Researchers have identified various neurobiological and brain-related characteristics that predispose individuals—including children—to develop anxiety problems. Comparing the brain functioning of anxious individuals with that of those who are not anxious, researchers report differences in the neural activity levels of their amygdala (Forster et al., 2012). The amygdala is part of the brain's limbic system and is responsible for the processing of fear and other emotions. Neuroimaging studies tell us that anxious individuals have overly sensitive amygdalas, which, once activated, stay activated longer than those of non-anxious individuals.
It is helpful to understand that when your child experiences fear, their amygdala is activated; this is a physiological condition, and it can lead your child to experience prolonged distress and fear.
Perceptual Differences
A child who suffers from an anxiety disorder will not fear everything. For example, one child may fear being in social situations, while another may fear germs or be afraid to eat certain foods. Although these forms of anxiety may be different, they have a common mechanism—that is, the brains of anxious individuals tend to interpret danger or potential harm in situations that pose no actual threat. It is as if the anxious brain has finely-tuned radar set to find and amplify possible dangers even where none exist.
In other words, anxious people perceive the world a bit differently than others do. Knowing this can be an important first step in overcoming your child's anxiety.
Most people with anxiety problems will tell you that they know their fears are irrational or overblown, but they nonetheless feel terrified when they are triggered. This reflects the over-activation of the amygdala. When it's hyper-activated, the person loses their rational perspective for the duration of heightened activity. Once it calms down, they regain perspective—until the next trigger. | eng | eebe97bb-66ac-4b0a-818c-101e7777019e | https://cdn3.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/anxiety-relief-for-kids-and-teens/202301/getting-help-for-your-child-or-teen-with-anxiety |
Debunking the Myth: Can Banana and Milk Really Make You Fat?
Bananas and milk are two of the most talked-about food items when it comes to weight gain. While some people swear by their weight loss benefits, others question whether consuming these two together can lead to weight gain. It's no wonder people are confused!
In this article, we'll explore the nutritional value of bananas and milk, the relationship between calories, weight gain, and food intake, and whether consuming banana and milk can lead to weight gain. We'll also share tips on how to incorporate these two into a healthy diet without gaining weight. So if you're someone who is interested in learning more about bananas and milk, keep reading!
The nutritional value of bananas and milk is high.
Bananas and milk are a powerhouse duo when it comes to nutritional value. Bananas are packed with potassium, fiber, vitamin C, and vitamin B6, while milk is rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein. Together, they provide a balanced combination of nutrients that can benefit the body in numerous ways.
Milk's high levels of calcium are essential for building strong bones and teeth. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium more efficiently while also supporting immune system function. Protein is crucial for muscle growth and repair.
Combining bananas and milk in a smoothie or cereal bowl can create a delicious breakfast or snack option that provides sustained energy throughout the day. Additionally, this combination can be beneficial for athletes looking to refuel after exercise or individuals seeking to maintain their overall health.
Incorporating these two foods into one's diet can have significant benefits for both physical health and overall well-being. So next time you're considering what to snack on or add to your meal plan – remember the power duo of bananas and milk!
The relationship between calories, weight gain, and food intake is complex.
When it comes to weight gain, the relationship between calories and food intake is a crucial one to understand. While bananas are often touted as a healthy snack option, they can still contribute to weight gain if consumed in excess.
Calories are units of energy that our bodies use for various functions, including physical activity and maintaining organ function. When we consume more calories than we burn through these activities, our bodies store the excess energy as fat.
Bananas are a nutritious fruit that contain essential vitamins and minerals. However, they also contain carbohydrates in the form of sugar and starch. When consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, bananas can be a healthy snack option.
But consuming too many bananas or other high-calorie foods can lead to weight gain over time. It's important to pay attention not just to the number of calories in our food but also how much we're consuming overall.
In addition to monitoring our calorie intake from food sources like bananas, it's also important to incorporate physical activity into our daily routine. Exercise helps burn off excess calories and maintain a healthy weight.
Overall, understanding the relationship between calories, food intake, and weight gain is essential for anyone looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle – even when snacking on seemingly innocent fruits like bananas.
Can consuming bananas and milk lead to weight gain?
There is a popular belief that consuming bananas and milk can lead to weight gain, but is there any truth to this claim? The answer is not as straightforward as one might think.
Bananas are rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals, making them a great addition to a healthy diet. They also contain natural sugars, which provide energy for the body. Milk on the other hand, contains protein and calcium which are essential for building and maintaining strong bones.
However, both bananas and milk also contain calories. Consuming these foods in excess can lead to weight gain. It's important to note that weight gain occurs when there is an imbalance between calories consumed versus calories burned through physical activity.
If you're looking to incorporate bananas and milk into your diet without gaining weight, it's important to practice moderation. One banana contains approximately 100-120 calories while one cup of milk contains around 150-160 calories. Consuming more than what your body needs can result in excess calorie intake leading to weight gain.
It's also important to consider the type of milk being consumed. Whole milk contains more fat than skim or low-fat options which may contribute more significantly towards calorie intake if consumed excessively.
In conclusion, consuming bananas and milk does not necessarily lead directly to weight gain but overconsumption can contribute towards excess calorie intake leading towards this outcome. Moderation is key when it comes incorporating these foods into your diet while maintaining a healthy lifestyle overall.
How can I incorporate banana and milk into a healthy diet without gaining weight?
Bananas and milk are two nutrient-rich foods that can provide many health benefits when incorporated into a balanced diet. However, some people may be hesitant to consume these foods due to concerns about weight gain.
Fortunately, there are ways to enjoy these foods without sabotaging your weight loss goals. One strategy is to practice moderation and portion control. While bananas and milk can be healthy choices, they also contain calories that can add up quickly if you consume too much.
Another approach is to combine these ingredients with other low-calorie options such as leafy greens or berries. Adding spinach or kale to a banana smoothie made with milk can help boost the nutritional value while keeping the calorie count in check.
Additionally, it's important to consider timing when incorporating bananas and milk into your diet. Consuming these foods earlier in the day can help give your body time to burn off the calories throughout the day rather than storing them as fat overnight.
Overall, incorporating bananas and milk into a healthy diet can be done without sacrificing weight loss goals by practicing moderation, combining them with other low-calorie options, and being mindful of timing. These delicious and nutrient-rich ingredients have too many benefits for us not incorporate them into our diets!
Check out our other articles to find out even more about banana.
The verdict is in: banana and milk can be a part of a healthy diet without leading to weight gain or other health risks. To get the most nutritional benefit out of these two ingredients, it's important to keep an eye on portion size and eating habits.

In this post I will discuss the relationship between chakras balancing and healing, and also how meditation can help in curing diseases.
For ages humanity fought diseases by plants, prayers, shamans and doctors. In modern times, starting with the 19th century, the public health systems were established and we still use them today. The problem is that medicine in general deals with the effects of the diseases and less with its causes. If one acts only on the effects, even if being successfu in canceling the effects, if the causes are still there then in time the disease will return, whether the same disease or another.
The ancient spiritual masters discovered that our bodies rely on energy coming from the universe around to be able to survive and thrive, and tested that beyond the physical energy there are also other levels of higher energies, subtle ones, that our bodies need to survive. This energy was called prana by Hindus and chi by ancient Chinese. The Hindus distinguished 7 major chakras as gates of input/output of prana in our bodies.
You can look at prana or chi energy as tiny streams of energy that flow along with the nervous system throughout the entire body. They have multiple functions, but the main ones are to adapt the amount of prana needed by the body organs, shift the energy vibration according to needs, and feed the body organs around with the much-needed energy so they function properly. Kundalini energy is also prana or chi energy, it's just that it is located in the root chakra which is the main chakra that acts as a gate for Earth's energy entering our body and maintaining it.
Another point is that healing is very much dependent on the body vibration of that person. If it's the normal average body vibration (3.5 awareness level on the chakra scale) healing using acupuncture and other related techniques can take weeks, months, and years, or even never. If the patient has a much higher body vibration like in 4.5, he that reached by spiritual growth, then it takes just days to weeks. If it's a very high body vibration the same procedures heal it in minutes to just days.
The lower the body vibration the lower the prana flow speed; the higher the body vibration the higher the prana flow and results appear faster obviously, it's just basic Physics of Creation.
If one has already a grave disease like cancer for instance, then he should first go to an official MD and follow the medical treatment prescribed.
Any energy treatment takes time, the bodies here in 3D (D-dimension of vibration) are very dense and the energy access the spirituals have to prana/chi is quite low. The denser a body is the larger quantities of energy one needs to have access to in order to change/heal the body. The majority of spirituals have no idea actually how much energy as usual human body hosts in terms of prana so as to sustain its current physical shape, organs, mechanisms, and so on so that it functions properly.
While mainstream medicine acts much quicker on an illness than energy-treatments, it also has secondary effects since its drugs are chemical-based. These chemicals have all sort of hazardous secondary effects as many studies showed.
Disease, chakra healing and chakra balancing
Ideally the prana flow runs unobstructed through our chakras and all chakras are balanced. In real life, due to the limiting beliefs we keep in our subconscious, the energy flow is many times distorted and obstructions start to occur. Many of these clogs occur at the level of the main chakras, in which case the energy flow is obstructed and energy doesn't reach the body organs as it was supposed to. Therefore, the organs are depleted of energy and in time start to malfunction and disease is declared. Only then mainstream medicine officially acknowledges the illness and starts treatment for the disease which is an effect.
By doing chakra healing we can normalize the prana flow in us hence reach chakra balancing, so to preserve our health. If the chakras are already obstructed, then we can apply specific procedures to for chakra healing, and I recommend in the same time to work on the limiting beliefs by releasing them so to eradicate the causes. There are specific methods to release these limiting beliefs.
Generally speaking, you can apply energy procedures for chakra healing and chakra balancing in two main situations concerning grave illnesses for instance:
If a patient follows the usual official medical treatment, then in parallel an adequate energy treatment can truly hasten the healing process, and alleviate secondary effects of drugs, mental suffering, etc, I've seen this in many cases.
When medicine gave up on a terminal patient and sent him home telling him he's got only a few months to live, then obviously everything should be tried including energy treatments. I've seen such cases where patients declared hopeless by medicine were saved by some special meditations, diet, and energy procedures.
Different meditations and healing procedures have very different healing effects, and might be effective for some illnesses and ineffective for others. Only experienced and competent spiritual healers and energy healers should give advice on this.
Factors influencing healing
The healing is very much influenced by:
The trust the patient has in the treatment and the healer, or else he might even oppose internally to it even if he formally follows the treatment.
The type of person the patient is, e.g. more fire personality, more earth, etc. For the same illness different treatments are needed for different personalities.
The treatment needs to be supported by the active participation of the patient, for instance by doing meditations and humbly acknowledging the reason for having cancer for instance, which is generally an old and deep negative belief he harbors for a good number of years. An illness is a strong warning signal to a person he went adrift for a quite long time from his correct destiny Path. If he doesn't understand this, then even if for a period a treatment looks like getting results, in time the illness will return, or another grave issue will hit the patient; I followed personally several cases like these over years.
Wrong energy procedures like a kundalini stirring done by some kundalini procedures can even accelerate the disease and lead to a patient's demise before his time, so be very sure what kind of spiritual/energy procedures you apply and if they are adequate. Don't treat yourself from spiritual/healing books, or appeal to charlatans who are self-proclaimed "shamans", you need to check them out beforehand.
A good health strategy is to have a body energy scanning, like an aimed psychic reading, like once a year by a competent spiritual healer who can look into your energies and see the energy issues that might have started to take shape in you. By doing this you can intervene at the energy level before the distorted energies reach the physical level when healing is much more problematic. | eng | c9043288-2d55-4101-8866-399981d85016 | https://hammburg.com/chakra-healing-and-meditation-help-in-healing-diseases/ |

Frédéric Chopin
Impromptu for Piano no 2 in F sharp major, B 129/Op. 36
Add To Playlist

This selection has been added.
About This Work
Impromptu is a term that has little technical or formal meaning, but it usually refers to a composition for piano (or, occasionally, another solo instrument) with an improvisational. An impromptu is often described as a work that results F sharp major, Op. 36, in 1839, not long after beginning his relationship with Aurore Dudevant (George Sand). The piece was first printed in Leipzig in 1840.
Chopin begins the Impromptu in F sharp major with a device he uses in several other works: it starts with a motive that has melodic characteristics, but eventually proves to be accompanimental. In this case, six measures of an idea occur in the left hand before another voice enters in the right, inverting the direction of the left-hand voice. What is most interesting is that the reiterated D sharp - C sharp at the end of this right-hand phrase also appears in the first two measures of the left-hand phrase. The second half of the theme is a flamboyant, six-measure phrase with a prominent dotted figure. Chopin repeats this pair of ideas, transposing the second of the two and extending it with a chordal passage that acts as a transition to the central section.
In D major, the central section employs the dotted figure from the A section in the bass to underpin a melody that gradually becomes thicker and more forceful over leaping octaves in the left hand. This dissolves quickly, heralding the return of the first theme, which begins, oddly, on F major, eventually returning to F sharp. The coda, as lengthy as the music that precedes it, begins with one of Chopin's technically dazzling passages. The extremely fast scales and turns of the right-hand line are given a simple accompaniment, allowing the listener to completely focus on the awesome technique necessary to perform the right-hand passage. | eng | 53746636-45fe-4e4c-880a-42b31b519461 | http://www.steinwaystreaming.com/steinway/Drilldown?name_id=2211&name_role=1&role_wanted=22&comp_id=4564 |
Say Yes to Yoga
A new randomized study shows efficacy in treating anxiety.
My own personal fascination with yoga dates back multiple decades to a daily, individualized routine at the Yogic Health Center in Mumbai during a gap year in my early 20s. It seems quite fitting that my love would start in Northern India, the birthplace of yoga's origins more than 5,000 years ago. For a practice to continue forward thousands of years, there must have been perceived advantages along the way.
Now research shows the physical benefits of yoga can include enhanced flexibility and agility, reduced body mass index, improved hypertension, better glycemic control, reduced lower back and neck pain, and improved menopausal symptoms. Yoga may have additional mental health benefits including improvement in well-being, sleep, resilience, and symptoms of depression and anxiety.
The past several months, COVID has caused families across our nation to worry about issues including change in employment routines, fears of contracting the virus, child care, food security, and social isolation. New CDC Pulse data from January 2021 shows that 36% of Americans are experiencing symptoms of an anxiety disorder, 28% are experiencing symptoms of a depressive disorder, and 41% are experiencing symptoms of an anxiety or depressive disorder.
Therapy and medications are the first-line treatment for depression and anxiety disorders. Yet there may be a role for yoga as an adjunct treatment or for milder symptoms. A study published this month in JAMA Psychiatry of 226 adults with generalized anxiety disorder found a 12-week course of yoga was efficacious in treating GAD. Yoga was shown to be more effective than stresseducation received by a control group; however, this study did still support cognitive behavioral therapy as a first-line treatment.
Dr. Elizabeth Hoge, director of the Anxiety Disorders Research Program at Georgetown University Medical Center, explains, "Several controlled research trials have examined the impact of yoga practice on anxiety and stress symptoms. Though in general, they have found positive effects, many of these studies compare yoga against no treatment, so participants may be biased to answer positively. Our JAMA Psychiatry study design is more methodologically rigorous; it compares yoga participants against a group of participants receiving education as well as attention and support from staff."
So how do you get started with your yogic practice? First, your practice should be under the guidance of a qualified instructor. Adults who are pregnant, older, or have a health condition, should discuss their individual yoga plan with their doctor and yoga teacher.
Ease yourself in and avoid extreme poses during your practice. Tara Antonipillai, Cultivate founder and yoga teacher, recommends that if you are new to yoga and have no restrictions, you should look for three things: a Beginner/Level 1/or All Levels class, Vinyasa or "Flow" style, and a Certified Teacher.
Do you have limited time and a day of back-to-back Zoom calls? Taking a quick break with a few poses might allow a few moments of necessary movement and stretching. Tara reminds us, "These should be gentle and warming so that you don't injure yourself. ... You can hold each pose for several deep breaths ... changing poses with each inhale and exhale." Forward fold, chair pose, and mountain pose are her three choices for a quick break.
GM and yoga instructor at FLEXX fitness, Anne Bailey, underlines the importance of our breathing to center ourselves if we only have a couple of minutes, "The box breath method can be such a powerful mechanism to reset your body and your mind."
How do you get more regular with your practice during COVID? Eleanor Gollob, a teacher at CorePower Yoga, discovered the power of yoga in her 50s. She recommends trying a few different beginner online classes, figuring out which one works for you, and then setting a goal to stick with it twice a week for a month. | eng | 488701be-ebf4-4a58-aa44-c22a712af216 | https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/work-wellness/202101/say-yes-yoga |

Tree fruit phenology is advanced based on historical observations. In southern counties some early blooming varieties are 5-10% bloom. Redhaven was at bud swell on March 9, about 3 weeks earlier than the median observation date. Red Delicious was at silver tip on March 9, about 12 days earlier than the median observation date. Plums are in bloom and Pears are at green tip. The recent cold weather has helped slow things down. Peach phenology is about 2 weeks earlier than normal and apple phenology is about normal.
Peach:
Brown Rot: Blossom infections from the brown rot fungus can occur whenever pistils are exposed and a favorable climate exists. Infections can occur during any wetting period when temperatures are between 41 and 86 °F. However, optimum conditions for infection occur with wetting and temperatures in the mid 70's. During long wetting periods (several days or more) blossoms can be infected regardless of temperature. Generally infections that occur when conditions are sub optimal are less severe. Blossoms and fruitlets will remain susceptible until the pistil dessicates (sometime between petal fall and shuck split). Initiate coverage for blossom blight starting at pink for short petaled varieties and 5-10% bloom for showy flowers. See the NJ Commercial Tree Fruit Production Guide for recommended materials and rates.
Bloom Cankers: Bacterial Spot is a key pest of Peach, Nectarine and Plum and in some years can cause significant losses. It is caused by the bacterium Xanthomonas arbicola pv. pruni. Black tip cankers caused by bacterial spot usually appear during or just after bloom. Typical symptoms are a gradual blackening of the tip with dead tissue moving down the twig and is often observed on highly susceptible cultivars (Fig. 1). Tip die back may also occur from abiotic factors such as frost. Tip die back from frost is often accompanied by blind wood usually 6-8 inches below the tip where leaves and flowers have fallen off after being killed by a freeze. Spring cankers that are caused by bacterial spot may also form around flower buds and may be confused with constriction canker or brown rot (see below) Spring cankers are not commonly observed in our region.
In some cases the twig may appear healthy and a shoot begins growing from the tip only to die back after leafing out and flowering. This is often a symptom of fall infections of leaf scars by constriction canker. Many times a bud that was infected in the fall and never leafed out may be found just below the new shoot that is dying (Fig. 2a). Mild gummosis around the dead bud may also be observed. These symptoms may be more prevalent in old trees that have a history of the disease. Growing tips may also be killed if the leaf scar was infected and may be confused with black tip from bacterial spot.
Another disease that causes cankers on flower buds is Monolinia fructicola, the cause of brown rot blossom blight. During bloom flowers that are infected by the brown rot fungus will rapidly dessicate and form a canker around the bud similar to late winter or early spring infections by constriction canker (Fig 2b.). These can be distinguished from blossom blight by waiting a few days to see if the brown rot sporulation appears on the canker. Symptoms of brown rot also differ from constriction canker in that excessive gummosis will appear at the canker site (Fig. 3).
Oriental Fruit Moth: A biofix point for OFM has not yet been set. OFM biofix is defined as the first sustained trap captures (2 or more consecutive days of trap captures of more than one adult.) It usually coincides with full bloom (about 4/13 in southern counties) but can start as early as late March. The first insecticides for first generation Oriental Fruit Moth control should be applied at 170-200 degree days (base 45 deg F) after biofix. This timing generally coincides with petal fall in peaches. Timings can be calculated using the degree day calculator at the NEWA website by choosing the weather station nearest your farm, entering the biofix date as the start date, and choosing base 45 in the "degree day type" menu. Mating disruption may be substituted for insecticide applications by placing dispensers or initiating sprayable formulations of pheromone in the orchard anytime before biofix. See the NJ Commercial Tree Fruit Production Guide for more information.
Green Peach Aphid: GPA colonies begin forming sometime during bloom. Examine trees for the presence of colonies from pink to shuck split. Count the number of colonies on ten trees and use a treatment threshold of 2 colonies/tree at petal fall for peach, and 1 colony/tree for nectarine. The best way to scout for aphids during bloom is with a beating tray. Blossoms may also be collected, opened, and examined for the presence of aphids using a hand lens. See the NJ Commercial Tree Fruit Production Guide for recommended materials and rates.
Tarnished Plant Bugs and Other Catfacing Insects: Catfacing insects cause little damage at this time of the year. Catfacing insects will become more of an issue as temperatures warm and mowing and other ground cover activities become more common after bloom. Insecticides for catfacing insects are not recommended until after all petals are off.
Scale Insects: Oil applications may be safely applied up to pink on peach. Other options include Centaur, Sivanto Prime, Esteem, and Venerate. These products can be combined with oil or applied alone. See the apple section below for more information.
Apple:
Diseases: Fire blight is the main target at this stage. Copper formulations applied for fire blight suppression should be adequate for scab control at green tip to 1/4″ green, unless scab was not controlled in 2022. If your orchard had scab last year, include a protectant such as vangard or syllit at 1/4″ green tip. Copper should not be applied after 1/4″ green where fruit russet is a concern. Beginning at 1/2″ green highly effective scab materials should be used. Primary apple scab spores are released during any substantial infection period. At tight cluster include products effective for powdery mildew and cedar apple rust. See the NJ Commercial Tree Fruit Production Guide for recommended materials and rates.
Scale and Rosy Apple Aphid: One sees many recommendations for mixing materials efficacious for scale sinsect growth regulators (Centaur; Esteem) with delayed dormant oil applications. The general consensus from data review seems to be that the addition of scale insecticides to oil do not significantly improve control over oil applied alone. Recent tests performed by Dr. Neilsen's lab indicate that both Sivanto Prime and Centaur and Venerate when applied alone in the pre-bloom period are comparable to dormant oil for scale control. Esteem has good efficacy for scale when applied up to to 1/2″ green. Closer has some efficacy against scale, however it has not been evaluated for control of overwintering scale.European Red Mite; San Jose Scale: Oil applications for mite suppression and scale control should start at 1/4" green. Apply 2% dilute or 4-6 gals oil/acre concentrate at 1/4"green to tight cluster; 1% dilute or 2-3 gals/acre concentrate at tight cluster to pink. Oil should not be applied if temperatures are expected to dip into the mid 30's within 48 hours of application, and captan or sulfur should not be applied within 14 days of any applications of oil or oil based formulations. Check the product labels for additional phytoxicity precautions.
Pear:
Pear Psylla: Dormant oil applications should have already been started to deter psylla egg laying. At the green cluster stage a pyrethroid is generally included with oil to knock down adults migrating into the orchard. In lieu of oil, Surround may also be applied starting at swollen bud and continued through bloom. If using Esteem for psylla control make one application delayed dormant through popcorn or two applications; one at delayed dormant through popcorn and one at petal fall. Centaur is also effective and one application may be made pre-bloom or at petal fall. Sivanto Prime is also labeled for early season applications and should be combined with oil.
Pear Diseases: It's not too late to apply copper for fire blight suppression, but copper should not be applied past the green tip stage if fruit russet is a concern. Include effective materials such as Ziram or EBDC formulations for Pear Scab and beginning at the cluster bud stage. At white bud use products effective for rusdt, pear scab, and fabrea leaf spot. Particular attention should be paid to rust on aisan varieties. Start planning for blossom sprays using antibiotics. For both apples and pears, consider using Kasumin at bloom. Kasumin is an antibiotic like Streptomycin and Oxytetratracycline. It contains Kasugamycin which is a different chemistry. Kasumin is only labeled for bloom and petal fall applications while strep and oxytet are labeled for post bloom use. Using 3 different chemistries in rotation allows for resistance management while extending the protection into the post bloom period when late blossoms typically appear. Which ever material you use, the addition of Actigard or other plant defense elicitors during bloom may improve control.

32060 Weed Control with Residual Herbicides for New Jersey Highbush Blueberry
Tue, 14 Mar 2023 18:17:46 +0000 T3 stage forecasted for the end of March this year, soil-applied preemergence herbicides should be sprayed before blueberry bud break to minimize the risk of crop injury and allow sufficient time for residual herbicide to be "activated" by rainfall.
Soil-applied preemergence herbicides should be applied prior to weed seed germination. If applied to weeds that are already out of the ground, most of these products will not control them if they are not tank-mixed with a postemergence herbicide. Glufosinate (Rely 280), paraquat (Gramoxone and generic formulations) and carfentrazone (Aim) are postemergence herbicides that may be applied with preemergence herbicides with little risk of crop injury. Keep in mind that at least ½" rainfall or irrigation is needed within 7 days after application to move ("activate") preemergence herbicides into the soil solution. Delaying activation may reduce overall performance if some weeds continue to germinate under low soil moisture conditions or if herbicide at the surface of the soil is susceptible to sunlight breakdown.
Make sure the herbicides you plan to apply will be effective at controlling the weed species in your field by checking the herbicide label. Usually, residual herbicides will suppress weed for 5 to 8 weeks depending on irrigation as well as soil and weather conditions. After this period, another residual herbicide can be needed to control weeds through harvest and could be mixed with postemergence herbicides to control emerged weeds. To reduce the potential of selecting for herbicide-resistant weeds, it is highly recommended mixing two herbicides that belong to two different WSSA (Weed Science Society of America) groups whenever you apply preemergence herbicides.
WSSA group 0 – Unknown Site of Action
Devrinol 50DF-XT or Devrinol 2-XT (napropamide) will provide good control of annual grasses and should therefore be tank mixed with a PSII or a PPO inhibitor for controlling broadleaf weeds. Devrinol is rapidly degraded if left exposed on the soil surface, so it should be applied less than 24 hours before a rain event to incorporate the herbicide in the soil.
WSSA group 2 – Acetolactate Synthase (ALS) Inhibitors
Solida 25WDG or Matrix 25SG (rimsulfuron) or Sandea 75DF (halosulfuron) are ALS-inhibiting herbicides that have both preemergence and postemergence activity. They control most annual broadleaves but are weak on common groundsel, common lambsquarters and eastern black nightshade. Sandea is ONLY recommended for postemergence control of yellow nutsedge.
However, these two herbicides will NOT control ALS resistant weeds (horseweed, ragweed) already widespread in New Jersey. Thus, these herbicides should always be tank mixed with a partner effective at controlling these weeds.
WSSA group 3 – Mitosis Inhibitors
Kerb 50WP or Kerb 3.3SC (pronamide) is effective at controlling many annual grass species for 4 to 6 weeks after application. Surflan should not be applied to soils containing more than 5% organic matter. Kerb also helps controlling perennial quackgrass as well as annual bluegrass. If applied to warm soils, Kerb persistence and weed control can be severely reduced; therefore, keep Kerb for fall/winter application when soil temperature remains under 55°F. Do not use Kerb on blueberries that have not been established for about a year.
WSSA group 5 and 7 – Photosystem II (PS II) Inhibitors
PS II inhibitors have a broad spectrum of control and will be effective against many broadleaves and annual grasses when applied in spring. Karmex80DF (diuron) and Princep 4L or Princep Caliber 90WDG (simazine) have relatively low solubility and have been very safe on blueberries. Sinbar80WDG (terbacil) has a longer residual life in the soil and also is more soluble, so it should be used infrequently on light, wet soils. These herbicides are effective on many broadleaf weed species, including common chickweed, common lambsquarters, common groundsel, henbit, nightshade, redroot pigweed, pineapple weed, shepherd's-purse, smartweed, and some mustards. Princep and Sinbar will also control many annual grasses and help suppressing quackgrass. Do not exceed more than 1 lb/A of Sinbar to minimize the risk of crop injury.
Trellis 4.2SC(isoxaben) is registered for bearing and non-bearing blueberry. Trellis will be most useful in new plantings for preemergence control of annual broadleaf weeds such as common lambsquarters, ragweed, black nightshade, horseweed and smartweed. It does not control grasses.
Velpar2L or Velossa 2.4L (hexazinone) is very soluble and should not be used on blueberries grown on sandy soils as the risk of crop injury is high with this herbicide.
WSSA group 12 and 27 – Carotenoid Biosynthesis Inhibitors
Solicam 80DF (norflurazon) can be applied in fall or early spring primarily for annual grass control and quackgrass suppression. Solicam may also provide partial control of many broadleaf weeds as well as of yellow nutsedge. Do not use Solicam on blueberries that have not been established for about a year.
Callisto 4SC or Motif 4L (mesotrione) will control many annual broadleaf weeds as well as annual sedges. It controls large crabgrass but no other grasses, such as goosegrass. Callisto may be used as a broadcast spray between rows to control broadleaves and crabgrass without injuring the fescue sod. However, Callisto CANNOT be applied after the onset of bloom.
WSSA group 14 – Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase (PP0) Inhibitors
Chateau EZ (flumioxazin) and Zeus 4XC or Zeus Prime 3.5XC (sulfentrazone) have activity against many annual broadleaf weeds (pigweeds, common lambsquarters, ladysthumb, mallow, shepherd's-purse) when applied preemergence in spring. Chateau and Zeus Prime XC also have some postemergence activity on newly emerged seedlings of annual weeds. Herbicides containing sulfentrazone will also provide suppression of yellow nutsedge. Chateau has a 7 days pre-harvest interval (PHI) and Zeus Prime XC has a 3 days PHI, allowing these herbicides to be applied later in the season to extend preemergence broadleaves control into summer. Blueberry plants must have been established at least two years prior to use of these herbicides.
WSSA group 15 – Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase (PP0) Inhibitors
Dual Magnum 7.6ec (S-metolachlor) has a 24(c) Special Local Need label for blueberry in New Jersey. This herbicide provides preemergence control of many annual grasses and some small-seeded broadleaf annual weeds such as redroot pigweed, nightshade and common purslane. Dual Magnum also suppresses emergence of yellow nutsedge. Use Dual Magnum only on plants established for more than one year, and lower rates are suggested on 2- to 3-year-old plantings.
WSSA group 29 – Cellulose Synthesis Inhibitors
Casoron 4G (dichlobenil) is a cellulose synthesis inhibitor recommended for fall application to control many annual and perennial broadleaves, grasses and yellow nutsedge. If left on the soil surface or if applied to warm soil (> 55°F or 70°F depending on Casoron formulation), Casoron can lose much of its activity.
Alion 1.67SC (indaziflam) IS NOT LABELED FOR USE ON HIGHBUSH BLUEBERRY GROWN ON SANDY SOILS AND/OR ON SOILS WITH ≥20% GRAVEL CONTENT. Additionally, Alion requires significant rainfall for being activated which is not guaranteed with spring applications. Field trials at the Marucci Center have consistently shown better weed control efficacy with fall applications than spring applications.
Casoron 4G and Alion 1.67SC should be used ONLY for fall/winter applications. Plants must be at least one year old before Casoron 4G or Alion 1.67SC should be used.

31975 Bureau of Water Allocation and Well Permitting Workshops Held
Thu, 02 Mar 2023 20:36:36 +0000 New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection coordinated workshops in the past two weeks to assist farmers with Agricultural Water Certifications/Registrations who needed 5-year renewals. Those farmers with certifications expiring in 2023 were invited by NJDEP to attend the scheduled workshops. NJDEP Staff visited the 4 counties: Gloucester, Salem, Burlington, and Cumberland to complete renewals for 2023. These workshops are an efficient way to make sure forms are accurate, complete, and acceptable to NJDEP – avoiding the need to mail back paperwork to correct any information. If a farmer receives an invitation in the future to attend these NJDEP coordinated workshops, it is really important to attend and update your forms.
If a farmer was unable to attend workshops, or their county did not have a workshop, they must complete the 5-year renewal form mailed by DEP and make an appointment with the County Agricultural Agent in their county to finalize the forms in order to keep their status current. County Agricultural Agents do not have access to obtaining the renewal packets and farmers must bring them completed to the appointment or contact NJDEP for another copy, if they cannot locate their copy.
As per the NJDEP's instruction, Agricultural Agents are to complete an "agent irrigation calculations sheet" and sign off on the form prior the forms are submitted to DEP. The forms can also be reviewed during an appointment with the Agricultural Agent. All other portions of the form are the responsibility of the farmer to complete. Also, it is important to read all instructions – that includes having a written daily log of the last month water was used in the past year to submit with the 5-year renewal application.
If a farmer does not have an Agricultural Water Use Certification or Registration, they can contact the NJDEP using the information below to obtain the forms.
If a farmer has any questions, NJDEP asks they contact staff at:
NJ Department of Environmental Protection, Division of Water Supply and Geoscience, Bureau of Water Allocation and Well Permitting, Mail Code 401-04Q, P.O. Box 420, Trenton, NJ 08625-0420, 609-984-6831. Also see the website at
Dormant Oil Sprays: The first pest control applications in tree fruit usually consist of oil and copper sprays. These are long standing standard recommendations that are not without special considerations. Oil is generally recommended at rates of 2%, or 2 gals. per 100 gallons of water for dormant applications. Traditionally this has translated to 4 gallons of oil per acre for stone fruit based on a dilute volume of 200 gallons per acre: the amount generally considered to cover a mature peach tree to the point of drip. For pome fruit the recommendation has been 6 gallons of oil per acre based on a dilute volume of 300 gallons per acre: the amount generally considered to cover a mature semi dwarf apple to the point of drip. The use limitations and application rates vary by product and growth stage so be sure to read and adhere to the product label.
Oil acts by suffocating overwintering scale insects and mite eggs as they begin to respire in the spring. Coverage has always been challenging and is increasingly so in recent years as weather extremes have increasingly been the norm. Mite eggs and overwintering scale can be found on any part of the surface area of the canopy, and can multiply rapidly during the growing season. Since a single female san jose scale can produce up to 400 crawlers per generation it's important to try to get as close to 100% coverage of the scaffold and trunk surface area as possible. It's worth mentioning that opening up canopies with proper pruning can go a long way toward accomplishing that goal. The key takeaway is that since fruit tree architecture includes many cracks and crevices as well limbs and twigs that exponentially increase surface area, coverage to the point of drip is the most important consideration regardless of the products applied.
Dormant oil can be safely applied up to the pink stages of peach, apple and pear. Delayed dormant applications applied for mite suppression should provide good control of scale and suppress early season aphids. Multiple applications are often recommended in apple and may be beneficial where both scale and mites are a concern in peaches. Since conditions are seldom optimal for good coverage in the spring, multiple applications also help to get closer to the goal of 100% coverage. Where multiple applications are made the rate is generally dropped the closer an application is made to bloom. So a split application in apples for example might consist of a 2% application up to ½" green, and a 1% application up to tight cluster. An application of 0.5% at pink is an option that may provide additional insurance. Growers that have been having difficulty controlling scab may consider control programs that shift to materials like captan in pre-bloom or bloom sprays. This type of program would not be compatible with split oil applications since captan applied within 10-14 days of an oil application can injure fruit trees. Refer to the product label for crop specific safety precautions. In the event that oil is in short supply or subject to dramatic price increases, mite suppression on Pome Fruit might be achieved by making a single application of a reduced rate of oil in combination with Apollo, Onager, or Savey, although the cost of these miticides may cancel any cost savings by cutting the oil rate. If oil cannot be applied for any reason, Apollo, Onager or Saavey could be applied around petal fall or first cover for mite suppression. If oil cannot be applied for scale control in pome fruit, or if you are trying to clean up a scale infested block, Movento applied at petal fall in should control scale as well as pear psylla, wooly apple aphid, and green apple aphid. In stone fruit Movento can be applied at petal fall or shuck split for scale and green peach aphid. It must be applied with oil a non-ionic surfactant as per the label.
One sees many recommendations for mixing materials efficacious for scale such as Diazinon or insect growth regulators (Centaur; Esteem) with delayed dormant oil applications. The general consensus from data review seems to be that the addition of scale insecticides to oil do not significantly improve control over oil applied alone, however some of the newer products are compatible with oil and have efficacy on their own when applied at the delayed dormant stage of growth. Recent tests performed by Dr. Neilsen's lab indicate that both Sivanto Prime and Centaur when applied alone in the pre-bloom period are comparable to dormant oil for scale control. Venerate (1-2qts.) is also labeled for delayed dormant application alone and has a good rating for scale. Esteem has good efficacy for scale when applied up to to 1/2″ green. Diazinon,On pears dormant petroleum oil applications are a standard practice for early season pear psylla control. Unlike applications made for scale control and mite suppression, oil acts less as an insecticide and more as a method of exclusion since pear psylla adults tend not to lay eggs on oily surfaces. Therefore oil needs to be applied as early as weather and soil conditions permit. Usually the first applications are made in southern counties from mid to late March when oviposition begins, however in this mild winter psylla adults have already started ovipostion.
These applications are useful throughout early bud stages and are generally long lasting; about 2 -3 weeks. In the dormant or delayed dormant stages apply a 2 % solution of oil (2 gals/100 or 6 gals/acre), or two applications of 1% through the green bud stage (when buds are swollen and green tissue is present). At this stage a pyrethroid is generally also recommended to knock down adult populations. Adjust rates downward for later stages: 1% (1 gal/100) from swollen bud through green bud, or 2 applications of 0.5% (0.5 gals/100) from green bud through white bud (flower parts are visible). During the delayed dormant stages the addition of an insect growth regulator such as Centaur or Esteem may improve control. Sivanto Prime combined with oil in the delayed dormant timing is an also an option. Surround, a clay product, may also be applied with oil at a rate of 25-50#/ acre in the delayed dormant stages. Surround applications without oil can be applied through bloom to disrupt the entire oviposition period and has shown to provide good control of the first generation nymphs. Surround alone is also useful in the delayed dormant period when temperatures are too cold to safely apply dormant oil.
Dormant season copper Sprays: Coppers are early season fungicides recommended for early season scab control and fire blight suppression in apples and pears. Coppers, Ziram, and Bravo (Chlorothalonil) are also used for peach leaf curl control, and should be applied before or at bud swell. Many different copper formulations are available and it's often difficult to decide which one is best, and is also labeled for the crop and season of application. See the following detailed discussion's at Michigan State, and Penn State about the different forms of copper and their use for disease control.
Care must be taken when applying copper to prevent unintended consequences. Copper phytoxicity takes the form of leaf damage on stone fruit and leaf and fruit injury on pome fruit. We recommend season-long copper applications at very low rates in peach for bacterial spot suppression. But significant phytoxicity can occur from tank mixes, especially when applied after a long period of overcast weather, and/or the spray water ph is less than 6. Therefore it's recommended to have some ph strips and buffer on hand to test the finished spray mixture and adjust the ph to lessen acidity if necessary. On apples and pears, coppers should not be applied much past green tip unless fruit finish is not a concern. Copper ions present after half inch green can cause russet, especially on sensitive varieties. The risk of fruit injury is increased in years with little rainfall between bud break and pink, because more copper will be present when the fruit is fully exposed.
Dormant season urea sprays: One final early spring chore is to get a jump on apple scab in orchards that have high inoculum from the previous season. Here orchard sanitation using urea and/or by shredding leaves is of benefit. Last season's leaves carry the overwintering inoculum of the fungus. Urea works in two ways to reduce this season's inoculum: it helps organisms in the ground cover decompose the leaves quickly; it also suppresses the development of spores so that they are not released. Chopping the leaf litter with a flail mower will accomplish the same end, and if combined with a fall or early spring urea application will greatly reduce overwintering inoculum. This is useful for getting the upper hand on primary scab control and for resistance management.
Urea is applied at rate of 40# per acre in 100 gallons of water per acre. This can be applied with an airblast sprayer with the nozzles directed at the ground cover. It is best done after leaf drop in fall but can still be applied in the spring before bud break or as late as green tip. Applications made after bud break should be done with a boom sprayer since urea drifting onto green tissue may make it more susceptible to phytotoxicity from copper or oil sprays.
This online program offers growers a deeper dive into audit standards and on-farm food safety issues they face on their farms. Current hot topics in food safety will be discussed as well as how to foster a food safety culture on your farm, updates to the harmonized audit, post-harvest sanitizer use and labeling and more! Certificates will be sent out to those who participate in this program.
Topics included horticulture sanitizer chemistry and how they work, a risk vs. hazard hands-on training, updates to the FSMA Ag Water Rule, an update on Traceability, what the New Jersey Department of agriculture found in 2022 during FSMA inspections and more. Certificates will be sent out to those who participate in this program.
As the interpretative statements within the reports explain, sulfur analysis/interpretation is very complicated (similar to nitrogen) due to the many factors influencing it. Also, there is not full consensus among soil fertility experts on a best extraction method and critical values. Still, the sulfur value on the revised reports will provide an extra degree of information for understanding the soil & plant health. As with all micronutrient interpretations on the reports, the relevant RCE publication is referenced for further information; in the case of sulfur, RCE bulletin E365.
With respect to plant nutrition, sulfur deficiencies were once considered rare, due in part to atmospheric deposition from sulfur dioxide emissions (pollution) from burning of coal. Since implementation of the Clean Air Act (esp. CCA of 1990), atmospheric deposition no longer supplies as much sulfur to soil, and sulfur deficiencies have become more common for certain crops in certain regions under certain management situations. The crops that need/extract more sulfur from soil and therefore are more susceptible to deficiency include agronomic crops, legumes, and vegetables in the Brassica/Cruciferae family or Allium (onion) genus.
The natural, major source of plant-available soil sulfur (sulfate ion) is organic matter decomposition. Sulfate is water-soluble and so susceptible to leaching, and so sandy, low organic matter-soils are most prone to sulfur deficiency. Deficiencies may be time- and weather-dependent, such as in spring when cold soil limits organic matter decomposition and leaching from frequent rainfall is most likely. However, established, deep-rooted vegetation may have access to sulfur in subsoil, so sampling soil at greater depths is suggested for better assessment of sulfur availability. | eng | 6f94152b-b0ed-4f4b-a3c9-5018e50344e4 | http://feeds.feedblitz.com/PlantPestAdvisoryFruit |
How do you identify an acid or base in organic chemistry?
To determine whether a substance is an acid or a base, count the hydrogens on each substance before and after the reaction. If the number of hydrogens has decreased that substance is the acid (donates hydrogen ions). If the number of hydrogens has increased that substance is the base (accepts hydrogen ions).
What organic compounds are considered bases?
How do you identify the base of a chemical formula?
Step 2: Determine if the ionic compound is capable of accepting a proton. If capable, it is identified as base.
Step 3: Determine if the molecular compound is capable of accepting a proton.
KOH is the base.
Is NH2 an acid or base?
base of NH3 acting as an acid is NH2^-. This makes NH2^- a strong base.

What is a base in chemistry?
Table of Contents. base, in chemistry, any substance that in water solution is slippery to the touch, tastes bitter, changes the colour of indicators (e.g., turns red litmus paper blue), reacts with acids to form salts, and promotes certain chemical reactions (base catalysis are organic acids and bases?
The most common organic acids are the carboxylic acids, whose acidity is associated with their carboxyl group –COOH. … The relative stability of the conjugate base of the acid determines its acidity. • An organic base is an organic compound which acts as a base.
Is HCl an acid or base In summary: the stronger the acid the more free H+ ions are released into solution.
What makes a compound a base?
A base is also defined as a molecule that has the ability to accept an electron pair bond by entering another atom's valence shell through its possession of one electron pair. There are a limited number of elements that have atoms with the ability to provide a molecule with basic properties.
Which is not a base?
Answer: (d) C2H5OH C2H5 OH is alcohol, not a base. An acid is any hydrogen-containing substance that is capable of donating a proton (hydrogen ion) to another substance. A base is a molecule or ion able to accept a hydrogen ion from an acid.
Why is nh3 a base?
NH3 is a base because this nitrogen has a lone pair that is capable of accepting a proton. (The Bronstead definition of a base is a substance that accepts a proton.) NH4+ does not have a lone pair on the nitrogen and thus it does not have the ability to accept a proton, it can only donate one.
Is CH3COO an acid or base?
A weak acid (e.g. CH3COOH) is in equilibrium with its ions in water and its conjugate (CH3COO–, a weak base) is also in equilibrium in water.
Is NH4 acid or base?
Yes, NH4+ is an acid. It has a pH of around 5.5 and is also capable of donating a proton in an aqueous solution. NH4+ ions do not dissociate completely in an aqueous solution and therefore NH4+ is considered as a weak acid. NH4+ is the conjugate acid of base Ammonia (NH3).
Is CO2 basic or acidic?
Is CO2 an acid or a base? Carbon dioxide(CO2 is considered to be as acid, or we can say it as a Lewis acid, due Resonance it acts as a Lewis acid(which accepts a lone pair of electrons. Was this answer helpful?
Is COOH an acid or base?
Carboxylic acid is an organic compound containing a carboxyl group (COOH) attached to an alkyl or aryl group. They react with metals and alkalis to generate carboxylate ions. These reactions of carboxylic acids indicate their acidic nature.
Is HCO3 a base or acid?
HCO3- acid or base is main focus here, it is an oxoanion of carbon, named bicarbonate. Bicarbonate is the conjugate base of carbonic acid. Generally, HCO3- behaves as a base but in some conditions, it can act as an acid also. In the bicarbonate structure, the C atom is attached by two O and one -OH groups.
What are the 3 types of base?
The word base has three different definitions in chemistry, and they are Arrhenius base, Bronsted base, and Lewis base. All the base definitions agree to the fact that bases react with acids.
What are 20 examples of base CH4 an acid or base?
Substances such as CH4 (methane) are not acidic as all four hydrogens are bound very tightly to the carbon and are not going anywhere. CH4 has a neutral pH, around 7.
Why nh2 is a base?
Is no2 an acid or base?
Nitrogen dioxide is an acidic gas. NO2 dissolves very well in water react with water to give nitrous acid and nitric acid.
Is h2so4 a base?
Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is a strong acid. Because when it is dissolved in an aqueous solution, it completely dissociates into H+ and HSO4– ions in the solution.

Description
Miss Porter's School
2019-20 School Year
With the theme of "innovation" for the school year, there were three full school days dedicated to "Innovation Day." A significant portion of the programming was done by the students as the elected leaders in the T.I.E. program hosted the event, designed and led workshops (faculty participated as students), built game-like experiences (laser cut tokens), and invited guest speakers.
Ultimately we focused on learning about the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and how to tackle these global issues using innovation. Part of this experience included students and faculty creating a short video (same day, shown as videos here) and doing a conference-style exhibition of solutions each group came up with. The winning teams took a field trip to Manhattan to visit the UN and learn more about what's being done with SDGs through people who work at the UN | eng | 4cee3e8a-a562-4102-94eb-aef7a3c4df30 | https://sam-ahn.com/project/school-wide-innovation-days/ |

I found a couple beautiful Custodes files on Cults3d, and printed out a dozen.
Then, I wanted a pair of special dreadnoughts, but wanted to do my own twist on them, so I mixed a few meshes up from other people. I like the He-man and Thundercats mods, which hearken back to my 80s childhood.
The dreads are meant to emulate Contemptor dreadnoughts, specifically the Custodes Galatus dreads. Look up their stats on their ForgeWorld page in the PDF section. They're nasty.
MyThe super limited stuff will have different bindings, mostly leather or cloth. Last I checked stuff like the Guardsmans Uplifting Primer was going for $100+ on ebay.
Atom bomb baby, little atom bomb, I want her in my wigwam.
She's just the way I want her to be, A million times hotter than TNT...Are these the game books or the novels?Okay, that makes a difference. There's not a lot of collector value in many of the novels. However, Black Library (Games Workshop's fiction department) has over the past few years stopped publishing some volumes. Some of those are the larger omnibus editions for example. Check Amazon for the Eisenhorn Omnibus edition in English. Scalpers on there have it listed starting at $155. Now, it goes without saying that no one in their right fucking mind would drop $155 to $256 (the range of used editions of the Eisenhorn Omnibus as of right now) on that. But, finding someone who might put $50-60 on it isn't out of the realm of possibility. It consists of three separate novels which on their own retail for like $16, plus it has several short stories that aren't readily found elsewhere. It might be worth it to just run the titles of each one through Amazon and see what's in print and what's not.
Also of note, is that the desirable books from Black Library are far outnumbered by the ones that are kind of throwaways. Black Library is, if we're being honest, a publisher of modern pulp novels. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but, the value of used editions of a lot of their books reflect that.
Gotcha. There are a bunch of omnibuses in the tote, but I'm not sure which ones. I'll see what he wants to do with them. They have a coin/collectibles shop and people come in with some weird stuff, lol.
I was suspecting something was happening behind closed doors. This must be one of the reasons why he went silent on his Patreon since November.
Still, I'm not very convinced it will be a win for the fans, this is what happened to Richard Boylan after he made Helsreach. He went working for GW, they released a couple of trailers a year ago about an upcoming Blood Angels short coming up, and then nothing. I fear this might happen again with Astartes.
