What is a worthy cause
We noticed that people – including ourselves – talk about "worthy" causes. In many ways the phrase is a "seal of approval." Yet what's "worthy" to one person or group, isn't necessarily "worthy" to another. The phrase assumes shared values, but doesn't always make clear what those values are, or why the cause is worthy.
Does helping one person make a cause a worthy? We've heard people say, "if we help just one person, it's worth it." We tend to question that logic: is it really "worth it" – for example – to have an organization with a $300,000 annual operating budget that "helps just one person?" We know that's an exaggeration, but on a feeling level, many people feel that way about organizations they are passionate about. They are saying "our work is priceless." That may be true, and there is a price attached to the work of nonprofits. In most communities – and in most households – there are limited funds and resources to be allocated. The issue of worthiness arises in the creation of criteria by which we make decisions. Some of these are spoken, and some of these are unspoken and often unconscious.
Other people believe an organization is worthy if it reaches a large number of people, has economies of scale, talented leadership, effective programs, consistent evaluation, and highly qualified staff. They can "make a dollar go far" – and that is the source of their "worthiness."
Some organizations serve people and families that other nonprofits cannot reach. Some offer specialized services to hard-to-serve populations, or to communities where "tried and true" solutions just don't work. The cost to serve one individual or family may be higher for these organizations, than others. Does that make them less worthy or more worthy? Who decides?
Related to this, which is more important: direct services that impact the lives of individual families and help them meet their immediate needs, or investments in public policy that change conditions for large numbers of people? Who decides which is more "worthy?"
"Worthiness" is a designation bestowed for different reasons. Sometimes an organization's mission is deemed worthy and that overrides the question of whether or not their impact or outcome is worthy. Worthiness can be bestowed when a donor makes a gift. It is also a designation bestowed by the people served or advocated for.
The dictionary defines worthy as "good and deserving respect, praise, or attention; having enough good qualities to be considered important, useful, etc. Having worth or value: estimable. Or, having sufficient worth or importance.
Our question to you: how do you define "worthy?" Can you communicate the value of your organization without using the word "worthy" or implying that others are somehow less worthy? What exactly makes your organization worthy?

Summer of climate catastrophes brings risks for workers

(The Hill) — In a summer filled with heat waves, fires, smoke and floods, workers face the brunt of climate-related catastrophes.
Many workers have worked inside or outside in scorching heat or while breathing in smoke, putting them as risk for illness or even death. Heat deaths have killed dozens of workers each year, a total of more than 400 between 2011 and 2021, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
And as climate change is expected to worsen, so too may these impacts.
While heat risk isn't new, "it's certainly getting worse with climate change and as temperature and other factors really have exacerbated the issue," said Rebecca Reindel, director of occupational safety and health at the AFL-CIO, the largest federation labor unions.
For weeks, the southern and western U.S has sweltered under brutal heat from the combination of human-caused climate change and an unusually stable heat dome hovering above the Texas-Mexico borderlands.
Those conditions have pushed heat to "oppressive" levels for most of Texas, Nevada and California, where heat indexes — the measure of how hot it feels — hovered above 110 degrees.
Climate change alone made Texas's current heatwave five times more likely, according to the nonprofit climate shift index.
Meanwhile, the world just experienced the hottest June ever recorded, according to the World Meteorological Organization. The month ended with a rapid succession of new heat records, starting with the highest average global temperatures ever recorded..
"This is further evidence of destabilization of the global climate system," one meteorologist told the journal Nature.
The changing climate is leading to outcomes including heat, fire and floods.
Rising temps, rising climate risk
Higher temperatures are adding stress to people and the planet.
Every degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit) of heat exposure increases the rate of death from heart disease by about 3%, according to a study in Lancet Planetary Health.
Recent research suggests that the human heart rate begins to increase at somewhere between 104 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit under 25% humidity — even for those resting in the shade.
That is a sign that the body is experiencing stress from no longer being able to efficiently cool itself through sweat, study author Lewis Halsey told The Hill.
Halsey noted that these impacts would be far more dramatic for people who were actually exerting themselves under those conditions, like workers.
Many laborers who work outside face conditions where "if they don't work, they don't get paid," he said. "So they are pretty much obligated to work outside of it.
These professions, he added, "are the ones that need protecting. That's not a physiological statement, of course — it's a social one. That's where the risks lie."
A 2019 study published in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine found that construction workers made up 36% of occupational heat-related deaths between 1992 and 2016 despite making up 6% of the total workforce.
Some of the most at-risk occupations included cement masons and roofers, said the study by the Center for Construction Research and Training, a nonprofit that aims to reduce injuries and deaths in the industry.
Construction workers "do a lot of outdoor work, a lot of time-sensitive work," said Chris Trahan Cain, executive director of the center.
She noted that for cement masons, "It's more difficult to arrange rest breaks. You work when the concrete comes, and it's often a very elevated pace for that time."
Domingo Garcia, Texas-based president of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) noted that in addition to construction workers, heat risk is also pronounced in agriculture, adding that both industries are "extremely dangerous in this type of heat"
As head of the U.S.'s biggest and oldest Latino civil rights group, Garcia emphasized the outsized risks that community faces from heat exposure.
Dehydration and heat stroke are common occurrences "that are often marginalized, unfortunately," Garcia said.
"Partly because many of them are Latino workers, and some of them may be undocumented, the enforcement that should be there is not there," he said.
The lack of state protections for workers laboring in the heat adds to the danger, Garcia added. While many bosses take care to give their workers access to water and rest breaks, he said, " You have a lot of bad apples that don't care about safety," he said.
When Garcia was on the job site in the summer, his bosses would usually run the shift from before sunrise till early afternoon and avoid the hottest part of the day.
But other employees on those same sites — working for different subcontractors — kept sweating through until sundown, he said.
The risk of heat-related illness is particularly serious in Texas, which is the only state not to require businesses to provide workers' compensation except to workers for companies contracted with the state government.
In other states, regulations are stricter. California requires employers to train workers in how to avoid heat illness and give access to water and shade.
Bad air: Smoke clogs workers' lungs
Meanwhile, the East Coast of the U.S. was recently pummeled with a deluge of smoke from Canadian wildfires, turning the sky orange and opening up anyone working outdoors to respiratory hazards.
The climate change picture for the wildfires in Quebec is complex.
Robert Field, scientist with Columbia University, told The Hill last month that climate change will make the fire season hotter and longer, but may also make the East Coast wetter, mitigating some fire potential.
But the event marked a harbinger for the western half of the country, which climate change is expected to make drier as well as hotter.
Exposure to the smoky air may cause conditions ranging from shortness of breath to asthma attacks to heart attacks. Heat also increases the risk of death rom heart disease.
Barry Levy, a physician and adjunct professor at the Tufts University School of Medicine, said that firefighters may face the greatest risk from wildfire smoke since they face the problem up close.
Levy, who is also the co-editor of the book "Climate Change and Public Health," noted that the firefighters are "vulnerable to heat exhaustion, burns, smoke inhalation" and injuries.
He added that they may face multiple hazards, such as extreme heat and heavy smoke, and also need to wear respirators, which can place an additional burden on the heart an lungs.
Other outdoor workers also face risks.
"The wildfire smoke that's affected the eastern half of the U.S. or more from Canada is a wake up call for a lot of the country, but it's something that our folks on the west coast have been dealing with for quite some time," Cain said.
Floods swamp worker health
Hazards for workers associated with floods include the potential for electrocution because of downed power lines, carbon monoxide poisoning from malfunctioning generators, falling trees and exposure to chemical and biological hazards.
While rescue and recovery workers often face the greatest risks, dangers also lurk for utility workers, Levy noted.
He said that the risks for rescue workers include drowning, as well as "being hit by objects that are caught up in the flood waters."
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters labor union's website also highlights the risk of coming into contact with health hazards including "intestinal bacteria such as E. Coli, Salmonella, and Shigella, Hepatitis A Virus, and agents of typhoid, paratyphoid, and tetanus."
Reindel, with the AFL-CIO, said that workers can come into contact with additional hazardous substances when they're sent to clean up the aftermath of climate-related storms like hurricanes, which are expected to become more intense as the planet heats up.
"You might be dealing with buildings and houses that have a lot of asbestos in there, lead, some heavy metals and many other chemicals," she said.
She said that workers who are cleaning up after a storm may only be provided limited protection, and that ultimately these situations leave "a lot of inequities for folks who need work and are untrained and are then opened up to dangerous working conditions." | eng | 459a3f67-1991-404b-8dd5-7ad4edaf7bb5 | https://www.wkrn.com/news/national/summer-of-climate-catastrophes-brings-risks-for-workers/ |

Action's Aspects
Fred distilled and defined. His ability to simplify without losing the essence set him apart from other management consultants. Clarifying without falling into formulaic cliches worked well for him.
Action's Aspects
There are three aspects to action: 1) concept, 2) system, and 3) philosophy.
The concept defines the basic principles. The system is the implementation of the principles, and the philosophy is the reason for doing. Said another way: The concept is the what to do – the system is now to do it – and the philosophy is the why of doing it.
Once the concept is clearly understood, the implementation or system becomes a technological procedure. This varies according to each specific situation.
For example, in military history we see General MacArthur planning the Inchon invasion. He studied the taking of Quebec by General Wolfe. The concept was surprise. The General asked his staff if this strategy would work, they all answered negatively. With their response, he went ahead and used this concept because he knew it would work. Surprise was going to be successful.
The technical approach was different from the one used by Wolfe. This was part of the genius. Often, leaders try to borrow the technique along with the concept and failure ensues. It is a mistake to understand few if any perfect strategic analogies exist in life. Each situation must have its own variation.
I faced this in the National Steel strike when I was called in to help management make plans. They had a past success and wanted to repeat it step by step. They failed to update the situation by grasping the difference in the two situations.
This leads me to one of my favorite principles: Stay current. One of the leadership pitfalls is relying on former successes to design a new plan. Many elements can be altered which affect the outcome. To ignore the full scope of the situation opens doors for failure. Staying current means being up to date on everything that will impact the strategy.
Philosophies and concepts are much more constant than the techniques of accomplishment. The three must all be part of the whole, but it is important to consider each separately before finalizing the plan. When we break it down, master each part, and learn to interweave them seamlessly we are well on the way to a workable strategy.
This week think about: 1) Which of the three is the easiest for me? Most difficult? 2) How intentional am I about my planning? 3) What keeps me current on my decision making?
Words of Wisdom: "Staying current means being up to date on everything that will impact the strategy."
Wisdom from the Word: "May He grant your heart's desire; may He bring all your plans to pass!" (Psalm 20:4 NET Bible) | eng | fda52b78-e2fb-4f34-adfb-fb3f12e3a8f3 | https://www.bwfli.com/actions-aspects/ |

The Blues for Kids — 12 Bar Blues — All Around This World
Not only are there are many variations of the blues but there are also many ways the spirit of the blues has inspired and created an emotional context for many other genres. Still, there is a generally agreed-upon "blues form."
In the basic blues form, there are four beats to each "bar" or "measure"–count 1-2-3-4. The guitarist–or pianist, but most often a guitarist–will play a series of three chords in a progression that lasts for 12 bars before the music cycles back to the beginning. Musicians call this THE 12 BAR BLUES. [Okay, this is hard to explain in words. Let this guy's video introduce you to the basic 12 bar blues, as well as the 1-4-5 (I-IV-V) chord progression. Wikipedia's blues page does a pretty good job of introducing the blues form in general.]
Blues lyrics appear within a similar 12 bar structure, usually there are two lines repeated (each line lasting four bars), and then a third line, also lasting four bars, that comments on the first–call, repeated call and response. The first and second lines, since they're basically the same thing repeated, are called the "A" lines, and the third line (different than the other) is the "B." The form is therefore called AAB.
For example, listen to Robert Johnson perform "Sweet Home Chicago":
A: Oh, baby don't you want to go
A: Oh, baby don't you want to go
B: Back to the land of California, to my sweet home Chicago.
In class we'll explore basic 12 bar blues and invent our own AAB songs about our current struggles.

Eye allergy
An eye allergy or allergic conjunctivitis is considered as an immune response on the surface of the eye. In an allergic reaction, histamines are released in the area of contact which results to red, itchy or watery eyes. An eye allergy can occur any time of the year but quite common during the spring, summer and fall season. Most cases of eye allergies are triggered by allergens present in the air such as dander, pollen and smoke. Once in contact, the individual will rub his/her eyes with his/her hands.
Common allergens
Pollen from grasses, trees and weeds are the most common allergens that can trigger an eye allergy.
Makeup, perfume and other chemicals
Pet dander, dust and other indoor allergens can occur all year round
Allergy to contact lenses will make the eyes sensitive and red in color
What are the symptoms of eye allergies?
The ideal treatment for an eye allergy is to avoid the allergen that triggers a reaction.
During an allergy, the symptoms will start to manifest as soon as the eyes come in contact with a particular allergen or will occur 2-4 days after the exposure. These symptoms are likely to manifest during an eye allergy:
Red, irritated eyes
Teary or runny eyes
Itchiness
Eyelids that are swollen
Sensitivity to light
Soreness or burning sensation
In most cases, these symptoms are also accompanied with other allergy symptoms such as sneezing and a runny nose.
Treatment for eye allergies
The ideal treatment for an eye allergy is to avoid the allergen that triggers a reaction. If the individual has not yet determined the exact cause of his/her allergy, an appointment with a doctor must be done to figure out the cause early. In some cases in which the symptoms can get serious, it would require the individual to take an antihistamine especially if other symptoms are present. As for severe cases, an allergy shot might be required.
Best eye drops for allergies
The eye drops that are usually prescribed by doctors for eye allergies typically contain olopatadine hydrochloride. Based on studies, this has been proven as a strong yet safe medication that provides effective relief if compared to other eye drops.
Natural remedies
There are also some homeopathic remedies used in treating eye allergies. It is best to consult a doctor first before using any natural remedies. In some cases, a cool and moist washcloth can provide relief for an eye allergy. You can perform this first aid measure by placing the washcloth over his/her closed eyes several times in a day.
You can also provide lubricating eye drops such as "artificial tears" to wash out the allergens present in the eye. Take note that some of these eye drops must be used on a daily basis while others can be used as needed to provide relief to the symptoms. Some eye drops can cause a stinging or burning sensation at first, but it usually diminishes within a few minutes.

Ken Flannery
Where are you from?
For this I usually answer New York, as it's where I was born and also the last place I paid rent. I grew up between there and Connecticut (divorced parents) and some stints in places like Utah and Maine. University was in Florida, then finally New York City for a couple years before I got on the road.
What do you do?
I hitchhike, brew beer, drink beer, hike, camp… many things. For money I do whatever comes up, usually short term odd jobs or the California marijuana harvest which usually can make me enough to the get through the year. I've helped on the bottling line at a brewery in Oregon, cleared a property for a home being built in central Washington, built a hiking website for a guy in New Zealand, split commissions with a rickshaw driver in India and a bunch of other gigs that have popped up.
How are you nomadic?
I trimmed my possessions down to what I could carry and hit the road in the summer of 2007. Since then I haven't been in one place for much more than a month, but typically a few days here, a day there, a week over there… I like to keep moving. I hitchhike to get around primarily. Besides friends, friends of friends and family I use websites like Trustroots and Couchsurfing to find accommodation, otherwise I default to camping my self-made bivy tent.
What's your favorite part of being a nomad?
I like being able to jump on just about any opportunity that comes up. I don't schedule very often and am obviously willing to travel, so if something interesting is going on, usually I can go check it out.
What's your least favorite part?
I don't get to try all the beer I brew, it's sad, but true. I learned how to brew while traveling and have had many opportunities to show other people how as well. From the time you brew to the time you drink can be around a month, so often I'm gone by the time it's ready and I don't always get a chance to circle back while it's still fresh. As a result I've gotten into the habit of brewing stronger and more robust beers that are meant to age well, this at least gives me a better chance of getting a chance to try it (assuming there's any left by the time I get back).
What's your craziest story?
Ah, crazy is often another way to say "I don't understand" or "unfamiliar", but I suppose is sometimes just a synonym for "awesome", so let's go with that. In that regard, I had a crazy time in Ireland for a month while making a mission of going to every bar with my last (Irish) name, "Flannery".
I wound up on both the biggest radio station and newspaper when they found out, covering me as a long-time traveler seeking out his roots. I drank my weight in Guinness ten times over for free with possible cousins as I arrived to each Flannery bar, many of them had seen the coverage and were waiting for me with pints and whiskey glasses.
As nomadic as I may be, they made Ireland feel like home.
What's next for you?
More road ahead, much of it completely unknown. I have a few projects, like a backpack that turns into a tent, a website to help travelers get around and a book I'm planning to write. I throw my attention at whichever one is most interesting in the moment, then keep on moving. There's always something or someone interesting just down the road to see next. | eng | 0bdbc435-cd8f-4322-b93e-dbd8b914345c | https://nomadasfuck.com/2017-08/ken-flannery |
Can You Live Without A Credit Card?
It's a frustrating world for those of us who have intentionally opted out. When it comes to buying or leasing homes and other big-ticket items, we're penalized for a history of living within our means and buying only what we can afford. Financial asceticism is supposed to be virtuous in America, especially in the midst of a political clime that denounces debt like it's some kind of domestic terrorism. But when it comes to credit cards, we're unwilling to put our Amex where our mouth is.
I haven't had a credit card for years, because I actually live like a fiscal conservative. I have one debit card and one Amex. And because of this, I was unable to get a mortgage on a second home in Provincetown! That's the kind of perverse logic of the last decade. People with massive credit card debt who regularly made payments were given mortgages they couldn't afford. People who'd saved and only bought when they had the actual means were punished. That's why I'm somewhat ambivalent about protecting people from credit card sheisters. No one has to get a credit card or get into debt. They can live more frugally.
David Wolman explains how "even when credit cards only exist at the periphery of our experience, they can boost our willingness to pay or borrow":
[In an] experiment, subjects entering the room where the research took place happened to see some credit card paraphernalia on a desk. The artifacts were supposed to appear irrelevant and the subjects were asked how much they would be willing to pay for an array of items. The subjects had been exposed to something without thinking about it directly. Merely by "decorating the experimental setting" with this visual equivalent of a subconscious whisper—credit card—willingness to pay jumped 50 to 200% compared to the control group. | eng | 5229394d-aa19-41d7-847e-5b20ec7d0aa1 | https://dish.andrewsullivan.com/2011/08/08/can-you-live-without-a-credit-card/ |
S Corp Advantages and Disadvantages
The S corporation (S corp) tax designation offers some excellent opportunities to potentially save money on taxes. However, it also carries additional scrutiny come tax season as well as other complications. This guide will cover the key advantages and disadvantages of electing S corp status to help you determine if an S corp is right for you.
What Are S Corps?
An S corp isn't a formal business structure but rather a tax designation. Limited liability companies (LLCs) and corporations can elect S corp tax status.
With an S corp tax designation, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) will consider the business's members and owners who also serve as directors, managers, or other roles within the company as employees. As a result, they must receive areasonable salaryand may also take distributionsfrom the company.
A reasonable salary is a fixed amount that should be comparable to what you'd pay for a similar service in the area. Salaries are subject to both employment and income tax.
Distributions are profits and losses the company passes through to its shareholder(s). They're only subject to income tax.
S Corp Advantages
S corp status can provide many benefits to companies and may make an excellent choice for some business owners. Here are the key benefits of electing an S corp tax designation for your business:
Tax Advantages: One of the primary advantages is the ability to take distributions in addition to your salary. Because the IRS doesn't consider distributions as wages, you don't have to pay employment tax on them. Therefore, if you take enough in distributions, you could potentially save a lot of money in taxes. Similarly, because an S corp passes its profits and losses through to its owner(s), the business isn't taxed at the corporate level. Therefore, corporations that elect S corp status avoid double taxation.
Flexibility: Another advantage is the ability to be flexible with your salary as your company grows. If you choose not to take distributions, you also can elect not to pay yourself a salary — or pay yourself a lower-than-average salary.
Easy Termination: Should you decide S corp status is no longer for you, it's easy to terminate your S corp tax designation. All that's required is a vote of shareholders who hold 50% or more of the voting shares.
Ability to Issue Stock: LLCs that elect S corp status can issue stock. This can prove beneficial for businesses in their early growth phases that need to use equity to build a team.
S Corp Disadvantages
The S corp tax designation also comes with a unique set of challenges outside the normal range you might expect of an LLC or standard corporation. These include:
Ambiguous Guidelines and More Scrutiny: One of the primary disadvantages of S corp status is that many of its requirements lack clear guidelines, such as on how to determine a reasonable salary or how much to take in distributions. Additionally, you can lose your S corp status if you fail to follow and meet certain guidelines set by the IRS — even if you do so unintentionally.
S corp status also can lead to higher IRS scrutiny, meaning you must be especially scrupulous in deciding how much to pay yourself and how much to take in profit distributions.
Greater Complexity: S corp status comes with increased paperwork and effort at tax time. Specifically, S corps must file the following at the end of each tax year:
Schedule K-1— This form lists what each shareholder made in profits or losses from the company in a given tax year. If you took distributions from your S corp, you must report them on your Form 1040.
Form 1120S(US Income Tax Return for an S Corporation) — This is the form S corps use to report the business's income, gains and losses, tax credits, and tax deductions.
Form W-2(Wage and Tax Statement) — This form reports an employee's income and all taxes withheld from their wages.
Form 1040(US Individual Income Tax Return) — This is your personal income tax return. To complete this form, you'll need to:
Use your Form W-2 to report your S corp salary.
Use Schedule E to report and pay personal income taxes on your S corp distributions.
Hiring a competent accountant can help you file the correct forms for your company on time. S corps also follow a calendar year for tax purposes vs. a fiscal year unless they can make a reasonable argument to the IRS for adopting a fiscal year model.
Limited to One Class of Stock: S corps may only issue one class of stock, which must have identical rights and dividends. This can make raising money through the sale of stocks quite difficult. It also means S corps can't allot losses or profits to certain stockholders. Allocations are solely determined by stock ownership — unlike a partnership or LLC, where you can allocate profits and losses based on partnership agreements.

Heart Failure (HF)
Heart Failure (HF) has become a large part of cardiovascular medicine and with new technologies much more interesting.
Patients that have HF will never be cured so the strategy is how to slow the progression of the disease. A multidisciplinary approach to caring for HF patients seems to be the best for the medical team, the patient, and patient families. There are many reasons why a patient has HF. It may be from ischemia, abnormal heart rhythms, ETOH excess, viral and the list goes on. There are two types of HF: diastolic and systolic HF. They are descriptions of how well your pump pumps.
The Cardiac Care Unit (CCU) that I work in cares for many HF patients in the Atlanta area. We are an 11 APP critical care cardiology team with interventional cardiology oversight. We admit HF patients into our unit, and care for them throughout the course of stay in the intensive care unit. We perform invasive line placements for accurate hemodynamic monitoring as well as use inotropic therapies with the advanced HF consult service guidance.

How to Build a Fulfilling Relationship With Your Partner
Today we want to share tips on how to build a fulfilling relationship with your partner. The journey to creating a fulfilling relationship with your partner requires dedication, effort, and a deep commitment from both of you. Like a beautiful garden, a fulfilling relationship flourishes when nurtured with love and care.
It's a collaborative effort where both of you sow seeds of trust, cultivate open communication, and bask in the warmth of emotional intimacy. Together, you'll navigate the highs and lows, watering the roots of your connection with understanding, respect, and shared goals. If you are in a relationship let's begin this incredible journey of love and fulfillment, hand in hand.
Trust and Respect
Trust and respect are the sturdy pillars upon which a fulfilling relationship stands. They are the bedrock of a deep connection, fostering a sense of security and emotional safety. Building trust and respect is gradual, like carefully crafting a delicate masterpiece. It requires honesty, transparency, and consistent actions.
Be patient, for trust blooms from shared experiences while respect grows from acknowledging each other's boundaries and choices. Nurture these qualities by actively listening, valuing each other's opinions, and being reliable. They enrich your love and allow it to flourish in the most beautiful ways imaginable.
Intimacy and Romance
They are vital aspects of a fulfilling relationship, adding depth, passion, and connection. They create a sacred space where you and your partner can explore and celebrate your desires.
It is crucial to communicate your desires openly, allowing room for experimentation and trying new things together. For example, you can turn to role-play, adult toys like a real whizzinator XXX, or other exciting elements that align with your shared boundaries and desires in bed. Even if your offices keep you physically apart during the day, you can use technology to stay connected.
For example, exchanging flirtatious messages and playful banter. Sharing intimate moments through text or pictures can enhance the anticipation and keep the flame alive. They are beautiful expressions of love that ignite the spark and keep your connection vibrant.
Shared Values and Goals
These serve as a compass in a fulfilling relationship and provide a sense of direction and purpose. When you and your partner align on fundamental beliefs and aspirations, it creates a strong foundation for growth and unity.
Identifying shared values involves open and honest discussions, where you explore your principles and find areas of agreement. Setting shared goals requires envisioning a future together and working collaboratively towards achieving those aspirations. As a result, they promote understanding & harmony and foster a sense of teamwork and mutual support.
Emotional Intimacy
Emotional intimacy is the trendy and invaluable essence that fuels a fulfilling relationship. The deep connection transcends the physical world, allowing partners to understand and empathize with each other's emotions truly.
You create a safe space for emotional exploration and support by sharing vulnerabilities, fears, and dreams. Expressing appreciation for one another adds a touch of warmth and affection. Moreover, nurturing emotional intimacy requires active listening, validating emotions, and being fully present in each other's lives.
Bottom Line
With dedication, effort, and a shared commitment, you have the power to create a love story that defies expectations. Together, you'll dance through the highs and lows, celebrating each milestone and supporting one another's growth. So, hold hands, dream big, and create a world where love thrives | eng | 31b17d9d-368d-4e1f-bfec-4d47f141b3b0 | http://clichemag.com/lifestyle/relationships-lifestyle/how-to-build-a-fulfilling-relationship-with-your-partner/ |

Are crucial development tasks getting lost, causing delays, and contributing to misunderstandings? That's the danger of a disorganized product backlog, and you can only solve these issues when you start at the root of the problem.
Through this blog post, we'll provide a comprehensive guide to backlog prioritization. This is a powerful tool that will help you navigate through the process with ease and precision. Keep reading to explore benefits, techniques, and tips for better product backlog prioritization to enhance your team's productivity.
5 benefits of backlog prioritization
In its simplest form, a backlog is a list of all things that need to happen within a project. Making that list of backlog items is a good first step, but it's not the only one to take. Making the choice to prioritize your product backlog offers several benefits. Here is a closer look at what they are and why they matter.
1. Getting to the valuable items first
There are many moving parts of the development process and it's easy for distractions to get in the way of progress. By honing in on the most important matters at hand, you can ensure that your team is working on tasks that provide the most value to all parties.
2. Identifying the most critical issues
What do you do when you feel like there are small fires everywhere that are waiting to be put out? Prioritizing backlog items allows you to identify the most critical issues that need to be addressed.
3. Responding to the environment faster
Technology developments or changes in customer needs can have a big impact on what your roadmap should look like. Prioritizing your backlog enables businesses to respond quickly and efficiently to shifts in priorities and requirements.
4. Improving alignment and productivity
There may be many different voices that contribute to conversations and opinions about where to start with your product backlog. Agreeing on backlog prioritization ensures that teams are working toward the same goals and collaborating effectively. According to one McKinsey report, well-connected teams see a productivity increase of 20 to 25 percent.
5. Speeding up time-to-market
Companies everywhere are facing the need to do more with less, faster than ever before. That's no easy feat, businesses can reduce costs and deliver products and services to market faster by putting their attention and resources to the best possible use.
Important factors for prioritizing product backlog items
Not sure where to start when organizing your backlog? Consider this your bite-sized guide to putting backlog tasks and items in the proper order.
Business value: You should focus on items that provide the most value to customers and the business. This will help support Return on Investment (ROI) for your development costs.
User feedback: The voice of the customer must be a key consideration when prioritizing product backlog items. User feedback can help you identify the most important features to develop.
Risk: Prioritize items that address the most significant risks. For example, if there are critical security issues that need to be addressed, they should have top priority.
Dependencies: Do some digging to ensure dependent backlog items come before less urgent items. This way, you can clear the path and avoid the surprise of discovering a previously unknown dependency down the line.
Effort and cost: Once you work through the other four criteria, prioritize backlog items that are easier and less expensive over those items that are more complex and costly.
Effective product backlog prioritization techniques
While there are best practices for product backlogs, it's worth exploring the different options that are available to you. To prioritize items effectively, businesses can use several techniques. These include:
MoSCoW
This method involves categorizing items as Must-haves, Should-haves, Could-haves, or Won't-haves. Must-haves are critical items that the product has to include. Should-haves are important but not critical. Could-haves are desirable but not essential. Won't-haves are low-priority items that can be deferred or removed altogether.
Kano model
In this technique, you organize your list into basic requirements, performance requirements, or excitement requirements. Basic requirements are essential features that customers expect. Performance requirements are features that increase customer satisfaction. Excitement requirements delight customers and add to your unique selling proposition.
Buy a feature
This is a customer-driven method for prioritizing product backlog items. First, a select group of customers get a budget and purchase the features they want. The most popular features get top priority from stakeholders. Less popular features are deprioritized.
Note: Each technique has its strengths and weaknesses. That's why it's essential to select the technique that works best for your business and team. You want to choose one that maximizes business value and customer satisfaction.
What's the most effective way to order the product backlog?
Answering this question requires you to establish a balance among all factors, with your unique business needs and objectives in mind. Then you can develop a process tailored to your organization.
Who handles prioritizing the backlog?
To make meaningful progress, you need someone to ensure the project stays on track and your backlog helps to deliver maximum value. At the heart of this process is the Product Owner, who can take the lead in aligning the backlog with strategic objectives and customer needs. Part of the job is actively collaborating with stakeholders, customers, and the development team. This helps to maintain a comprehensive understanding of priorities and expectations.
Take the guesswork out of your product backlog
It's your turn to make a change and begin the journey toward a more efficient development process. You can transform your product backlog into a tool for success with the right strategies in place | eng | c49f4f80-6841-48d5-90e3-659b89a9979d | https://www.unosquare.com/blog/prioritizing-product-backlog-key-factors-for-effective-project-planning/ |
How to Use 'Who' vs. 'Whom'
What you really need to know
What to Know
Who performs the action of a verb (e.g. "Who sent us this gift?"), while whom receives the action ("We got this gift from whom?"). In grammar terms, that makes who a subject, and whom an object. When following a preposition, whom is the preferred choice ("To whom should we address our thank you note?").
What You Really Need to Know About 'Who' and 'Whom'
Trust your instincts. The choice between who and whom can sometimes be confusing, and this has always been the case. But English is extremely flexible, and actual usage doesn't always follow the strict rules of grammar. Our ears are our guides, and there are many constructions (like "Whom did you speak to?" vs. "Who did you speak to?") in which whom may be technically correct but still feel fussy or unnatural. In these cases, it is perfectly standard to use who.
A Detailed Guide for Hardcore Grammar Fans
Whom is both simple and complicated. It is simple in that it is simply the objective case of who, which means that it's the form of who that is in the object position in a sentence. What exactly constitutes the object position in a sentence is where things get complicated.
An object, in grammatical terms, is a noun or noun equivalent (such as a pronoun, gerund, or clause) that receives the action of a verb or that completes the meaning of a preposition—so, for example, sandwich in "They bought a sandwich"; it in "My dog ate it"; apologizing in "an appropriate time for apologizing"; and that it was true in "I was afraid that it was true."
Who is a pronoun, which means that it's used instead of a noun or noun phrase to refer to a noun/noun phrase that has already been mentioned or that does not need to be named specifically. Whom replaces who in spots where that word would receive the action of the verb or complete the meaning of a preposition.
'Who' vs 'Whom' Examples
Let's look at some of the grammatical places who tends to appear and see whether whom ought to go there instead.
Who often functions as an interrogative pronoun, which means that it introduces questions that have nouns as the answer:
Who told my dog about that sandwich?
Who should my dog apologize to?
Both of these sentences sound natural with who, but if we want to know whether whom is the grammarian's choice in either of them, we'll have to determine if each who is in the object position. With questions, the easiest way to do this is to reimagine the question as a statement. "Who told my dog about that sandwich?" becomes "X told my dog about that sandwich," with "X" standing for the unknown divulger of sandwich existence. "X" is the subject of the verb told, since "X" has done the telling, so who is indeed correct.
Reimagining the second question as a statement, "Who should my dog apologize to?" becomes "My dog should apologize to X." "X" is the object of the preposition to, so who should technically be whom: "Whom should my dog apologize to?" (If you don't like the terminal preposition—which is ancient and perfectly grammatical—you may prefer "To whom should my dog apologize?") We'll highlight the preferred versions:
Whom should my dog apologize to?
OR
To whom should my dog apologize?
Relative Pronouns and Subordinate Clauses
Who and whom also frequently function as relative pronouns, which means that they refer to a noun or noun phrase that was mentioned earlier:
Again, some analysis is required to determine if who here is in the object position and should therefore technically be whom. Relative pronouns introduce subordinate clauses, a subordinate clause being a group of words that has a subject and predicate but that doesn't by itself form a complete sentence. In the sentences above, the subordinate clauses are "who told my dog about the sandwich" and "who my dog apologized to." To determine whether whom is the preferred pronoun, we need to figure out if the noun or noun phrase that who refers to is in the object position or not. We'll replace who with the noun/noun phrase it refers to, and split the whole thing into two sentences for clarity:
The person told my dog about the sandwich.
The person was unhelpful.
In "The person who told my dog about the sandwich was unhelpful," who refers to "the person," which is the subject of both predicates: "told my dog about the sandwich" and "was unhelpful." Therefore, who is indeed the preferred choice.
Now we'll look at the second relative pronoun example, replacing who with the noun/noun phrase it refers to, again splitting the original into two sentences:
The sandwich's owner requires a replacement sandwich.
The sandwich's owner my dog apologized to.
To make that second one grammatical, we have to do some rearranging, as we did with the questions:
My dog apologized to the sandwich's owner.
In "The sandwich's owner, who my dog apologized to, requires a replacement sandwich," the subject of the verb apologized is "my dog"; who is actually the object of the preposition to, which means that whom is the preferred pronoun here:
I know that who is on the cat's good side always matters in such cases.
Here, we have the conjunction that introducing a subordinate clause headed by the pronoun who. The first part of our analysis is determining the subject and predicate of the entire sentence. The subject is I; the predicate is everything else. Know is the main verb, and everything else is actually the object of that verb: "I know x."
Now that we know much, we can focus on what who is doing in that very long subordinate clause:
Who is on the cat's good side always matters in such cases.
Who here is a relative pronoun referring to an understood noun/noun phrase along the lines of "which person/creature." Since the sentence is still quite complex, we'll simplify again, finding the main subject and predicate. Stripped down to its most essential meaning, the sentence can be understood as "Who (aka, which creature) always matters," which tells us that the subject is the entire bit "Who is on the cat's good side," and the predicate is "always matters in such cases."
Note, though, that the subject is itself a clause with its own subject and predicate: "Who is on the cat's good side." Who is the subject of the verb is: "X is on the cat's good side." This means that our original sentence is indeed technically correct, despite the fact that who appears in what looks like an object position, after the verb know:
I know that who is on the cat's good side always matters in such cases.
After all that, surely no one can claim that keeping who and whom in their prescribed places is easy to do. In fact, it's about as easy as keeping a dog from eating an unguarded, and ostensibly abandoned, sandwich. | eng | 3989e1b5-741c-49e9-b077-3e52eb720c53 | https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/who-vs-whom-grammar-usage |
Try This Speed Reading Technique To Read Faster Than Everyone Else
Aug 23, 2013 20:10
Here's a new speed read technique you can try to through more books and articles than the average reader. The trick is to read the middle. Andra writes on the Pixel 77 on how to avoid the slow word-by-word reading most of us do:
One of the major drawbacks of reading word-to-word is that your eye only focuses on a single word at a time. The average eyespan is 1.5 inches which means you can read up to four words on either side of a word. For instance, if there are ten words in a sentence, placing your eyes on the 5th word can help you see the sentence in a single glance. This will help you view the text as a block of words rather than in single units. This is one of the major hindrances to speed reading that people generally face. Their perceptual gaze isn't conducive to reading fast, which makes it difficult for them to enhance their reading speed.
The middle sentence or the fifth word can help train you to cluster words together for faster reading. Try it out and let us know that goes | eng | 004feacc-1f5f-41d3-9987-8e1e9f4d1b4a | https://fooyoh.com/?mid=menknowpause_lifestyle_living&sloganx=reasons-to-have-an-hvac-maintenance-plan%2Fwhat-is-naternal&page=1358&document_srl=8623353 |
For some disabled people, to wear a face covering could cause genuine risk to their individual health and safety
Posted 23.02.2021
In October last year Disability Action was asked to comment on a story published in the Down News on the wearing of face coverings. As the wearing of face coverings continues to be an issue, below is a comment from Orla McCann, Disability Action.
Disability Action encourages everyone who can wear a face mask to do so to protect themselves, their families and others. We as a society, however, need to recognise that for some disabled people to wear a face covering could cause genuine risk to their individual health and safety. The Government Guidance on this has always been clear that there are exemptions to this regulation.
Disabled people should not be made to fear intimidation or discrimination, nor should someone feel the need to disclose their personal circumstances or to carry documentation to prove that they are exempt. There are options available for those who would prefer to carry some form of an exemption notice, notably developed by disability organisations.
A simple approach to this is for everyone to be kind to each other.

Military Nurse Mailing Lists For Marketing
Military nurses play an invaluable and essential role in healthcare and medical management. They assist military patients at military hospitals as well as civilians during emergencies. Military nurses face many challenging and demanding environments and situations; therefore it is crucial that an accurate and up-to-date list of registered nurses be created prior to embarking on any marketing campaigns; herein comes Mailing Lists into play!
Who are Military Nurse ?
Nursing in the Armed Forces has a rich tradition and remains one of the cornerstones of military medical readiness. Military nurses provide care for active duty personnel and their families as well as work to ensure medical facilities and equipment are available during wartime or peacetime deployment. Furthermore, military nurses actively engage in research, evaluation, education, training to continue developing the profession of nursing.
Becoming a military nurse requires at least a bachelor of nursing (BSN). The Army and other branches of the military offer RN to BSN programs sponsored by either the United States Army Nursing Corps or another branch of the Armed Forces; alternatively, several private institutions also offer degrees that have been accredited by either the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education or Accrediting Commission for Independent Colleges and Schools.
After graduating, each branch of the Armed Forces requires you to complete a nursing course that varies in duration depending on their role in life and military protocol; medical system; general soldier and leadership skills and opportunities within each Armed Force. You will also learn more about nursing roles and opportunities within their branch.
Each branch of the military has specific recruiting requirements, so it's advisable to speak to their representative first before researching schools. Also, gain civilian nursing experience before embarking on your military nursing career journey.
Military nurses typically enjoy an attractive salary and could qualify for additional bonuses, including student loan repayment as a sign-on bonus. Exact salary details depend on numerous factors, including branch of service and duties performed; | eng | fb79077c-8dbf-4f4a-80c6-0c0a19392d58 | https://promarketingleads.net/military-nurse-email-mailing-list/ |

Help Remineralize Your Teeth, Naturally!
You know how they say "drink your milk for strong bones and teeth"? Well, that's not entirely true. Research shows that teeth have the ability to repair and heal themselves, just like bones, but only under certain conditions. Let's break it down:
Teeth are made up of a tough outer layer called enamel, which is mostly minerals. However, enamel is porous, which means it can be damaged and lose minerals. When this happens, cavities can form. Cavities are holes in the teeth caused by the loss of minerals.
The good news is that some cavities, especially small ones on smooth surfaces between teeth or on the cheek and tongue sides, can heal themselves through a process called remineralization. Remineralization means the lost minerals can be replaced, and the cavity can improve.
But here's the catch: most cavities can't heal themselves naturally. To keep your teeth healthy, you need to create an environment that helps remineralization happen and prevents further damage (demineralization).
Demineralization occurs when bad bacteria in plaque (the sticky stuff on your teeth) turn sugar into acid. This acid breaks down the minerals in your enamel and causes damage. If demineralization is not stopped, the cavity can get worse and may need a dental filling.
So, the key to protecting your teeth is to keep the right balance. Avoid too much sugar and keep your mouth clean to prevent bad bacteria from causing demineralization. This way, your teeth have a better chance of healing themselves naturally and staying strong. Regular dental check-ups also help catch and treat any cavities before they become a big problem.
To promote teeth remineralization and keep your teeth healthy, here are some easy steps you can follow:
• Brush and floss regularly: This is the most important step. Brush your teeth thoroughly and floss to remove plaque and sugars that can cause damage.
• Eat alkaline foods: Include non-sugary and non-acidic foods in your diet to keep the pH level in your mouth balanced. Vegetables are great because they also help clean your teeth while you chew.
• Try oil pulling: Swish coconut or sesame oil in your mouth for a few minutes to reduce harmful bacteria and prevent demineralization.
• Keep your tongue clean: Use a tongue scraper to remove bacteria from your tongue, which can contribute to tooth decay.
• Cut back on sugar and complex carbs: Limiting these foods can help reduce acid production and prevent demineralization.
• Use natural mouthwash: Choose glycerine-free toothpaste and natural mouthwash that doesn't hinder remineralization. Our Dentist in a Bottle, a unique anti-bacterial natural mouthwash that you can safely swallow.

World Alzheimer's Disease Month And How Marijuana Matters
Dementia is a disastrous disease that affects as many as 50 million people worldwide with an annual growth of 10 million people. Two in every three people with dementia live in low- to middle-income countries. Dementia is a group of brain disorders like Alzheimer's Disease; that is characterized by impaired intellectual, social and cognitive abilities.
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE
Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a progressive neurological disease of the brain that leads to the irreversible loss of neurons. AD is the most common cause of dementia among older generations, making up between 50 and 70% of cases.
Research shows the medical use of marijuana for AD may prevent the formation of deposits in the brain associated with the disease. THC and other cannabinoids may be an improved therapeutic for AD by simultaneously treating both the symptoms and their progression.
For sufferers, the memory and thinking skills are slowly destroyed and eventually they require assistance to perform the most basic tasks. There is no known cure or proven treatment to slow the progression of AD, the medication that patients have been prescribed is to alleviate symptoms.
Early indicators may start with forgetting recent events leading to advance symptoms that can include problems with language, disorientation, mood swings, loss of motivation, not managing self-care and behavioural issues. Alzheimer's patients that have developed such severe symptoms eventually tend to withdraw from family and friends. Their bodily functions shut down over time, leading to their eventual death.

Although the exact cause of AD is still poorly understood the following are known to be contributing factors:
Genetics – has only be proven to be a contributing factor to early-onset AD.
Environment – which could include a history of traumatic brain injuries or a low-level education which prevents mental development.
Age – the biggest risk factor contributing to AD.
Gender – it is thought that AD affects more men than woman, as woman live longer on average.
Comedic legend Seth Rogen and his wife Lauren Miller Rogen are serious about creating and promoting awareness around Alzheimer's Disease. HFC is an American national non-profit organization whose mission is to take care of families facing this disease as well as educating young people about healthy brain habits. These include at least eight hours of sleep, regular cardiovascular exercise, balanced nutrition, mental fitness and emotional | eng | a7582f87-26ad-42cc-9ba7-0daf8cb8cad4 | https://stonedcitizen.com/world-alzheimers-disease-month-and-how-marijuana-matters/ |

Why It's Important
This year's Wimbledon is not the first major sports event that IBM has worked it, nor is it its first Wimbledon. IBM has worked with the tennis tournament for three decades. Still, its continued push for technology innovation has drawn it to pull on some of the most innovative technologies of the moment in support of this year's tournament.
"The WatsonX platform has allowed us to quickly leverage the power of generative AI without sacrificing trust or transparency. This is what we mean when we say 'AI for Business.' To use AI in a commercial setting, you need to have confidence that a model is scalable, reliable, and trusted," writes IBM engineer Aaron Baughman.
As we previously reported, IBM also worked with the 2023 Masters Tournament in Georgia earlier this year. Its coordinated data collection and tracking technology, processed through the cloud, allowed the company to process golf coverage in real-time—providing near-instantaneous scoring predictions, highlight reels, and spoken commentary using large language AI models through its Masters Tournament app.
IBM's iX team has worked since 2017 to develop AI-driven highlight reels—working year-round to adapt its technology to different sports events, including the FIFA World Cup and US Open. | eng | 404405d3-9a67-4d56-aa10-991ed3ab0c43 | https://leaders.com/news/innovation/how-ibm-and-a-i-transform-wimbledon/ |
Whale populations in New York Harbor are booming—here's why
A few cetaceans appeared in 2011, but now they're in the hundreds, surprising scientists and tourists alike.

New York Harbor"There's a spout!" naturalist Celia Ackerman calls excitedly to the captain. "Behind the green buoy!"
It's half an hour into a whale-watching cruise aboard the 95-foot American Princess, and we're not in Hawaii or Alaska—we're in New York Harbor, within sight of Coney Island and the Brooklyn shoreline.
About 30 tourists rush to the rail, and moments later, the distinctive outline of a humpback whale surfaces. Cries of delight echo round the boat. "I've never seen a whale," says Milo Bartolotta, 15, who's on holiday with his family from Florence, Italy. "So I am really excited."
Such a sighting would have been almost unimaginable 20 years ago, when the waters around New York City were some of the most polluted in

The Grand Egyptian Museum will open in 2023 after 20 years of labour and almost $1 billion. The final date of the opening is yet to be announced by the Egyptian government and it is expected to be one of the top events of the year.
Facts about the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)
The most extensive museum in the world is devoted to a single culture, with an annual attendance of 5 to 6 million people and expected to be open in 2023.
Both the protection and maintenance of Egypt's cultural heritage and the development of the country's tourist industry are bolstered by GEM's efforts.
Over one billion dollars were spent on the construction of the GEM complex, which covers 117 acres in Giza.
The museum is home to 100,000 artefacts that date back to ancient Egypt.
The GEM is the first sight in the world to have a hanging obelisk, and the grand staircase is filled with artefacts of tremendous significance.
The Grand Egyptian Museum was founded to house the treasures of ancient Egyptian artefacts and be the largest of its kind in the world. The old Egyptian museum in Cairo's Tahrir Square, which had a long history of housing the treasures of ancient Egypt, was built due to its capacity limitations. Strategically, the new museum is situated just over a mile from the Sphinx and the Giza pyramids. Since the new structure is precisely aligned with the lines of the Pyramids, this location was chosen primarily to create harmony between the present and the past as well as to offer a unique experience for tourists and visitors who can access various sights within a short distance.
The GEM is planned to serve as a museum as well as a cultural and tourism complex. The structure will include boutiques, eateries, a meeting centre, and a movie theatre. The goal is to help revitalise Egyptian tourism, a crucial sector of the economy. Six million people a year are expected to visit the new museum, and they will be able to see the Giza pyramids as well with only one ticket.
Heneghan Peng, a Dublin-based architect firm, presented the winning offer in 2003 after a UNESCO-sponsored contest received over 1500 responses. Work got going immediately but was interrupted multiple times, most notably by the Covid-19 outbreak and the 2011 revolution.

The construction Timeline
The design team submitted nearly 5,000 drawings to the Egyptian Ministry of Culture in late August 2008. The building tender was then launched in October 2008. Earthmoving has started to prepare the construction site.
Tenders were due in September 2009, with a completion deadline of 2013. The construction has been interrupted due to political instability and the revolution in 2011.
On January 11, 2012, a joint venture between Egypt's Orascom Construction (OC) and the Belgian BESIX was granted the $810 million contract for phase three of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM).
Besix and Orascom hauled in and placed an 82-ton, 3,200-year-old statue of Ramses II at the Grand Egyptian Museum in January 2018. Due to its enormity, it was the first artefact to be displayed in the Museum during its building.
On April 29, 2018, a fire broke out at the GEM's entrance, although no artefacts were harmed, and the origin of the fire remained unclear.
The final of King Tutankhamun's chariots were transported to GEM in May 2018.
According to Tarek Tawfik, GEM's director, the estimate for a complete opening was pushed back to the fourth quarter of 2020 in November 2018.
The museum's intended opening date was put back to 2021 in April 2020 because of the COVID-19 epidemic.
There have been more delays, and no official opening date has been set. Prior to its formal inauguration, the GEM is open for private visits.
The building will soon be delivered by the Egyptian authorities. The final cost is expected to be around twice the original budget. It has been built to reflect the magnificent ancient civilization, making it a monument that even the pharaohs would be proud of.
The Design of the Grand Egyptian Museum
The magnificent alabaster structure spreads out behind the pyramids, a half-hour drive from the city's centre. The structure itself blends with the desolate setting. The exterior, which is three floors high, is embellished with Egyptian-inspired pyramidal patterns.
West 8 was involved in the landscaping design and master plan for the entire site, while German firm Atelier Brueckner was appointed to design the Tutankhamun galleries, Grand Stairs, Piazza Atrium, and the Children's Museum. The Irish firm has worked alongside BuroHappold Engineering and Arup for the engineering work. West 8 was involved in the landscaping design and master plan for the entire site.
There will be 24,000 m2 of display area within the museum, which is equivalent to six football fields. The vast collection of artefacts hosts some ancient Egyptian gems that have never been viewed by the general public. A 12 m tall statue of King Ramses II welcomes tourists as soon as they approach the museum. If you look up, you'll see the grand staircase that ascends to a massive glass lobby and is flanked by 60 sculptures. The three Giza pyramids are seen from there in an unrivalled panorama.
Because of the level difference between the plateau and the surrounding plain, the layout and placement of the museum added a new 'edge' to the terrain. This new edge is defined by a large transparent stone front that alters its appearance depending on the time of day. The structure of the design was determined by a series of visual axes that extended from the site towards the three pyramids that were located in the surrounding area.
The architectural company aimed to convey the museum's distinctive topography to visitors and provide them with "layered" experiences as they walked around the building, which was the overarching goal of the museum's basic design concept. Therefore, while entering the museum, each visitor makes their way via a magnificent court, which is followed by a covered entry area and a grand staircase that leads up to the plateau level, which is where all of the galleries are situated. When visitors reach that plateau level, they will be able to look out from within the museum and view the pyramids.
The Largest Egyptology Museum in the World
What does the Grand Egyptian Museum contain?
The museum's collection has approximately 100,000 artefacts, which are presented in 12 exhibition rooms covering 484,000 square feet of floor area. Around 18,000 unique antiquities collections (including almost 5000 in the Tutankhamun galleries and over 13,000 in the other galleries).
Tutankhamun's burial collection includes the golden funerary mask, which is perhaps the most iconic Egyptian artefact and one of the world's most valuable works of art. The 5000 pieces of Tutankhamun's wealth, which Howard Carter initially discovered in the Valley of the Kings in Luxor in November 1922, are expected to draw crowds of visitors from all over the globe to the museum. All the riches of the young king, undiscovered for three thousand years, will be on display behind the exhibition cases of the large gallery. These treasures include golden masks, sarcophagi, golden beds and chariots, and mother-of-pearl jewellery inlaid with precious stones.
Khufu's solar boat, the wooden ship discovered near Giza's pyramids. The renowned solar barque belonged to the pharaoh Khufu and was intended to transport souls to the great beyond, is one of the GEM's crown treasures. It is the largest wooden vessel in the world, measuring 42 m in length, 20 tonnes in weight, and 4600 years old which has been found in 1954.
The famous statue of Ramses II, one of the greatest monuments formerly stood near Cairo's Ramses Train Station will be standing at the entrance of the GEM.
The Grand Egyptian Museum will include permanent displays for half of its items. The other half will be preserved in storage and repaired and examined there at a sizable research centre with 17 enormous, state-of-the-art restoration labs.
Location and Transportation
Cairo International Airport is the closest airport which is almost 1 and half-hour journey from the location. There are also plans to expand to nearby Sphinx International Airport which is a half hour away from the museum and the Pyramids of Giza. This location is ideal for tourists who want to book a one or two days Cairo tour and gain the most from a short visit to Egypt.
The precise day on which the Grand Egyptian Museum will welcome visitors is all that is left to be determined. Numerous dates have been speculated about but not proven. The start of the opening ceremonies is expected to be magnificent.
What other activities in you can do If you visit the Grand Egyptian Museum?
There are several things you can enjoy while you visit the museum including visiting the Great Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Pyramids of Saqqara day tour. You can also enjoy a safari trip to the nearby dunes of Fayyoum Oasis and have a sandboarding experience. Additionally, you can book a Skydiving over the Pyramids or Paragliding experience which is considered one of the most unique activities in Egypt.

My first encounter with Maki Na Kamura's art left me perplexed with what exactly the German-based, Japanese artist was intending to show her viewers in her paintings. Although I was confused by the subject matter of her paintings, her cosmopolitan color palette and spontaneity of her compositions immediately grasped my attention.
Maki Na Kamura's vibrant works of art are ultimately considered to be abstract, figurative landscapes. Although they are innovative and "a breath of fresh air" in comparison to other landscapes in the history of art, I believe her landscapes are derived from those of Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai and from the classical masters of the Western tradition, such as Giorgione and Jean-François Millet. Maki Na Kamura shows us how the artistic heritage of her current home in the West and her ethnic heritage in the East can come together to create landscape compositions that diverge from the styles created in the past.
Maki Na Kamura, See XV, 2019. Setareh Gallery.
Hokusai's Influence
Layers upon layers of paint immediately capture the eyes' attention when observing Na Kamura's eclectic landscapes. The multiple layers of paint that are divided into multiple lines is a testament to Na Kamura's lack of a belief in the straight horizon line that has always been used by artists in the Western tradition. Her absence of a primary element in Western painting also shows that no boundaries exist between sky and land.
Katsushika Hokusai, The Suspension Bridge on the Border of Hida and Etchū Provinces (Hietsu no sakai tsuribashi), from the series Remarkable Views of Bridges in Various Provinces (Shokoku meikyō kiran), c. 1830, Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY, USA.
However, in the Oriental tradition, a horizon line tends to be absent in landscape paintings. Thus, it is evident that the lack of a traditional horizon line in Na Kamura's paintings seems to have been inspired by the 19th century Japanese painter-illustrator, Hokusai. His most notable work, Great Wave off Kanagawa, is a prime example of Hokusai's works that do not use a horizon line that is interrupted by clouds.
While many Western landscapes use straight, parallel horizon lines to give paintings their static nature, Na Kamura creates a sense of dynamism by dividing the horizon line into pieces. It gives the artist's landscapes their fragmentary nature. However, figurative elements such as people and buildings are also found in her paintings. The combination of both abstract and figurative elements within Na Kamura's compositions creates interesting contrast within the paintings.
The Use of Ancient Masterpieces of Giorgione and Millet
Recently, Maki Na Kamura revealed in an interview that her use of Japanese landscape painting techniques did not come from close examinations and studies of these paintings but through her memories of seeing these paintings in a museum. The unconventional nature of this series of landscapes is further attributed by the use of a German word: Landschaftsdarstellung, dubbed "LD." It means: 'landscape representation' and might be a statement that Na Kamura's landscapes escape from the reality of nature.
Sleeping Venus
In LD XXV, Maki Na Kamura recalls the work of the Italian artist, Giorgione, and, more specifically, his composition, Sleeping Venus. She has transformed Venus's body into a white and beige void. The other figurative elements present in Giorgione's composition are reduced to abstraction: the red cushion upon which Venus rests is reduced to red stripes, the trees in the background are quick brush strokes, and the blue of the mountains dissipates into the air and rock. She has completely transformed Giorgione's Venus into a compilation of various colors and abstract shapes.
The Gleaners
Another reference to a classical master can be seen in LD XXIII. Na Kamura has extracted the three women from Jean-François Millet's TheGleaners and drops them into an abstract landscape. The painting comes from a series Steine legen, Äpfel lessen, which means 'to put stones, to read apples' and is a reference to a 17th century masterpiece by Guido Reni. Maki Na Kamura's compositions contain references to classical mythology.
Although Na Kamura's paintings are considered to be landscapes, they digress from the traditional landscape painting that clearly delineates all the features of the land. Instead of following academic art tradition, Maki Na Kamura trades clarity for abstraction and reality for imagination by using a vibrant color palette, loose brushstrokes, and abstract shapes.
Tradition clearly does not seem to be followed in Maki Na Kamura's landscapes but introspection into the artist's ethnic background, personal experiences, and comparison of other paintings indicates that she does follow artistic traditions of both the East and the West. The abstract and figurative quality of Na Kamura's paintings not only is an exemplification of a divergence from the typical style of the landscape painting but also a compilation of how the people of the West and the East see landscapes through the use of a brushI believe that art makes us better people and gives us many ways of reflexion on the world of today, past and future. I am amazed and look every time through the eyes of a child. That makes me an art lover and a big admirer of Pablo Picasso. I enjoy visiting art galleries and take at least 40 different looks at the same work of art. | eng | c6165a75-01a7-4e84-8319-7e2ff2854eef | https://www.dailyartmagazine.com/the-landscape-paintings-of-maki-na-kamura/ |
How to use "Workforce" in context?
The workforce is made up of the people who are employed in any given setting. This can be factories and other industrial settings, schools, hospitals, or offices. It can also be made up of government employees, such as police officers and firefighters, or volunteer workers, like carpenters. The workforce can also be made up of self-employed people who run their own businesses. Whatever the makeup, the workforce is an essential part of any organization.
The workforce is vital to any business. Without it, businesses would be unable to run. The workforce is also important in terms of the overall economy. | eng | 02b679f2-e5d0-4421-acf2-da2ee4e65261 | https://www.thesaurus.net/workforce |

It's 2023, and traditional marketing is not cutting it if your company wants to excel. With the rapid growth of technology, marketers have several channels they need to satisfy. You are missing out if you are marketing to your prospects on only one channel. Yes, marketing on more than one channel takes planning, but consider all the leads that could be going to your competitors! So, what is multichannel marketing, and how does it work?
Your prospects aren't just on one marketing channel. They are on social media, watching TV, opening their mail, and searching online. So why would you target them on just one channel? But don't just take our word for it. Multichannel marketing is an effective approach to capturing more leads. In a recent study by ClickZ, multichannel campaigns saw an 18.6% engagement rate, while single-channel campaigns saw just a 5.4% engagement rate. It seems like a big difference, right? This is why adding a multichannel approach to your marketing campaign could significantly grow your business.
What is Multichannel Marketing? Multichannel marketing is all about choice.
What is Omnichannel Marketing?
You might have heard of omnichannel marketing. Is multichannel marketing and omnichannel marketing the same? Well, not exactly. Multichannel marketing is reaching leads by focusing marketing efforts on several traditional and digital (indirect and direct) channels to acquire leads. So, what is omnichannel marketing? Omnichannel marketing includes pulling together all of an organization's marketing efforts into an integrated, consistent brand experience across ALL channels. What does this mean? In simple form, it means that messaging and tone, visuals and graphics, and any prior interactions that a customer has are harmonized.
Still confused? Here is an example. Let's say you are looking to buy a crockpot at Target. What's the first step? You might go online and see their options and then call your local Target to make sure they have it in stock. Lastly, you'll purchase the crockpot from your local Target brick-and-mortar store. All of these channels combined and their consistent brand and experience make up omnichannel marketing!
Benefits of Multichannel Marketing
Higher awareness
Multichannel marketing is so powerful because combined channels are more effective. So, it makes sense that with more channels, you'll have the opportunity to create a higher awareness for your brand and consequently meet more customers.
Improved brand experience
Another benefit to connecting with your audience via multiple channels is how they will start to perceive your brand. By using several channels in your approach, you will make sure that your potential customers know all about your products and services. This will increase your brand awareness and improve your brand perception.
Increased engagement
More marketing channels mean more engagement and a higher number of potential customer touchpoints. Multichannel marketing gives customers more opportunities to interact with brands. So, in conclusion, you'll get to interact with more customers, resulting in more engagement.
Extended reach
Marketers who expand their efforts to new marketing channels increase their reach and potential audience. Many customers only use a limited number of channels, so you'll find new leads with untapped potential by increasing your campaign.

CH 23
I went back to my room and pulled out the leather ball from a while back. The ball was already flat from just a couple days of negligence.
Let out a deep breath and lifted my left arm up straight into the air. I rhythmically tapped up from the elbow to the wrist with my right finger. As I performed the promised somatics, my body squeezed some mana out and into my left arm.
"To think the day I initiate the ball game would come. It's a human's disgrace, but remember it well, you mutt. Humanity hasn't lost. It's only me."
The mana gathered. What was once spread throughout my body rode up my bloodstream and towards my left finger. I could feel a sense of near-omnipotence at the tip of my finger. At the same time, I could feel its limits. I could also feel the disappointment in realizing that, upon using the mana pool that could only fill my finger, I would lose this feeling of power.
Why is my mana pool so small?
I put my finger in the ball as I chanted a 0 level spell while complaining about it.
The event of exploding the air, the 0 level magic that called it.
"Pascal."
With a bang, the ball tensed up as the leather stretched out. A ball made of a small piece on the inside and a large piece on the outside didn't leak air when blown up in an instant. I pulled my finger out of the ball, closed the hole with alchemy, then headed to the cafeteria with it in hand.
There, an Azzy—who was more excited than ever before with her front paws on the table and tail wagging—was there.
I spoke as I lifted the ball.
"Will a ball game be enough?"
"Woof, woof! Yummy food too!"
"Sure. I'll make yummy food."
"Awoooo! Good! Good! You, good! Now good!"
"Now, get that thing out of there."
After nodding, Azzy headed straight for the drain and stuffed her hands in as if she were digging up the ground. After scraping the end of it a couple times, she put her head halfway in with her butt pointing to the sky and finally started pulling something out.
An arm that was severed below the elbow.
One leg.
A large hand.
And the last thing she pulled out struggling was a large body with only one arm and one leg attached.
A muscular body—that almost looked harder than the golem—with a short mustache and hair. It looked like a noble monk's body, but its severed appearance was gruesome to no end. Its cross section showed very toned muscles.
"Uwegh—"
I can feel a gag reflex coming.
That's not a human, that's a 'human'.
The cut itself was clean. If you only looked at the disjoint, it looked twisted off, as if a giant twists a toy's arm and leg off while playing with it. However, there were no signs of blood, and the bones were intact like it was a perfectly made anatomical figure. The disconnected arm and leg made it look gruesome, but the fact that there were no blood stains on its brownish skin would make you wonder if it was actually killed.
But seeing how I couldn't hear a single thought, it must be dead.
'Someone probably attacked it, chopped it up, then chucked it into the drain. It might have survived for a couple days through sheer will power but ended up slowly dying away since no one found it.'
"Dang. To meet its fate in a place like this…"
'The thought I heard before must be its very last thoughts. It's unfortunate, but nothing can be done about it.'
I picked up its right arm, thinking of at least burying its cut-up body.
This might be a cursed land, but surely it's better to be buried…
As I grabbed the arm, it also grabbed me.
Huh.
…
Huh?
"UWAAAAGH!"
I tried to throw the arm away in freight, but it had incredible strength that it only shook along with my arm and didn't fall off.
What the fuck? A severed arm has this much strength??? If it were still an intact arm, it would have crushed my arm with its grip!
This is not the time to panic.
I flipped my other wrist around and pulled out a hidden card. An ace of diamonds, a trump card composed of fine and dense metal made by alchemy that was strong and tensile.
I put the thin card between me and the fingers that were grabbing me. By twisting it slightly, the fingers slid off. By this method, I pried off the fingers from the pinky to the middle finger. Eventually, I was able to barely throw the arm off.
"H-Huff. Huff… What is that?"
The arm that had fallen to the ground tried to crawl up using its fingers but stopped as if it had lost all strength. I gathered my breath after the horror and gore in front of me.
I asked the golem that had an unimpressed air, as if it had already known.
"Captain Avey, what is that?"
[A severed hand that moves. It can be concluded to belong to that of an Undying.]
"That used to also be a trainee?"
[Correct. When the prison break happened, trainees were killing each other. But it seems that it is still alive due to it being an Undying. To be able to revive from such a wound, I should raise its evaluation level.]
"You should have told me about it earlier! It scared me!"
Azzy poked at the arm with curiosity. She jumped back every time the arm twitched, then came back every time it calmed down. I pushed Azzy out of the way then lifted the right arm carefully, trying to stick it onto the corpse's elbow.
The arm itself fit perfectly, but it didn't stick. It moved and acted as if it were a completely separate being from the body.
Holy… An arm that moves by itself.
"So you're telling me that right arm took the stew?"
[Affirmative. It had sought out food in an effort to regenerate the muscular mass it had lost being in a state of suspended animation.]
"What. The fuck. That's scary."
Now there's an arm that moves on its own. There really are a whole lot of different monsters in Tantalus.
The golem looked at me to ask.
[What are you going to do?]
"About what?"
[The Undying.]
"That? What am I gonna do with that?"
At my temperamental response, the golem glared. From its inorganic-esque, no, inorganic eyes came a cold light. | eng | 85b607b7-055d-4854-a6b2-c03856afb146 | https://www.lebanon-asia2000.com/read/leb-Omniscient-First-Person-s-Viewpoint-5084942/23_2 |

Andre Leslie Rodgers
Carson, CA
Andre Leslie Rodgers saved Paul E. Jury from burning, Carson, California, February 19, 1995. At night, Jury, 73, was asleep in a first-floor bedroom of the house where he lived when fire broke out in the attached garage that adjoined his room. Rodgers, 25, trade school student, was driving by and saw the fire. He stopped at the scene and went to a side door to alert any occupants of the house. Gaining access to the house, Rodgers met Jury's cousin, who alerted him to Jury's location. With flames engulfing the garage and rapidly spreading, including to the second floor over Jury's room, Rodgers entered Jury's room, which was filled with smoke. He picked Jury up and carried him through the house to the side door, then outside to safety. Rodgers was given oxygen at the scene and treated at the hospital for smoke inhalation. | eng | a0d345df-8ee5-4837-908b-c2da0ec23c98 | https://www.carnegiehero.org/hero-search/andre-leslie-rodgers/ |
The food forest brings hope that 85 percent of the southern city's residents will be within a half-mile of accessing fresh food — an undertaking of Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. The land would also serve as a public park teeming with various food sources as well as hiking trails, communal spaces, a gardening area, and freshwater habitats. Park maintenance will be provided by Trees Atlanta, a non-profit organization dedicated to the improvement and protection of Atlanta's ecosystem, but will fall under the domain of the city's parks and recreation department.
Crops harvested will be free of charge to residents. Having access to healthy, nutritious food is long overdue.
"Instead of talking about a food desert, the better term is really 'food swamp,'" Kwabena Nkromo, Founder and Lead Principal of Atlanta Food & Farm LLC, told The Guardian. "There is an abundance of food, but it's not healthy or varied."
Roughly 23 million Americans live in food deserts across the country. It has been proven that over time, not eating fresh foods can lead to serious health issues and diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and obesity | eng | ca225e00-70de-4101-81da-9157fabab3c6 | https://www.diversityinc.com/atlanta-fights-food-deserts-with-the-nations-largest-public-food-forest-2/ |
Channels of Distribution ppt
1. Distribution Management and Sales Promotion:
Sales Techniques for Consumer and Industrial Users, Channel
functions and Flows, Channel Levels, Channel Management
Decision- Communication mix- Sales force management-
Promotinal Mix- Communication Strategies.
It includes all activites concerned with the efficient
movement of goods from the place of prodction to the place of
consumption. It includes wide range of inter-related activies
which includes order process, inventory management , storage
and transportation etc.
Main objectives are
1.Consumer satisfaction 2. Profit orientation
3. Distribution Channels
Definitions:
" A channel of distribution or marketing channel is the structure of
intra company organisation units and extra company agents &
dealers, wholesale and retail through which a commodity, product or
service is marketed" ----American Marketing Association
"Distribution Channel is a set of interdependent organisation involved
in the process of making a product or service available for use or
comsumtion by consumer or business use". ----Phillip Kotler
Producers produce fewer products in large quantities and customers
want more product in smaller quantities and broader assortments
wanted by the customers and break them into smaller and broader
assortments wanted by the customers
6. Nature and Importance of Channels
Most businesses use third parties or intermediaries to bring their
products to market.
They try to forge a "distribution channel" which can be defined as
"All the organizations through which a product must pass between
its point of production and consumption"
Why does a business give the job of selling its products to
intermediaries?
The answer lies in efficiency of distribution costs. Intermediaries
are specialists in selling. They have the contacts, experience and
scale of operation which means that greater sales can be achieved
than if the producing business tried to run a sales operation itself.
8. Consumer is interested in different services from the
company and the channel must deliver value to the
consumer. We need to identify his needs and satisfy it.
Consumer convenience, the mode of delivery, credit,
service, installation, place of purchase, type of product
assorment. All these factors required here.
Nature of the company, product characteristics, type
of channel memebers, competitors and the prevailing
business envornment should be considered by the
company.
Legal conditions and macro ecnomic situation of the
country should also be considered. It is based on PLC
12. The company should select the best channel which will
suit its long term objectives.
It should consider the factors like probability, share of
control and adaptive nature of each of the channel
Cost of transaction is low for direct marketing channels
like internet and telemarketing but value addtion also
very low.
With direct sales channel like company sales force the
cost per transtion is high and the value addition is high
Indirect channels like retailers, distributors the cost per
transaction is moderate and the value addition is also
moderate. | eng | 0997c382-3cc5-4879-a430-220174adbc8c | https://pt.slideshare.net/sriprasadnavulla/channels-of-distribution-ppt |
Introduction
This assignment is designed to give you some initial experience with programming in C, as well as compiling, linking, running, and debugging. Your task is to write 9 small C programs. Each of them will test a portion of your knowledge about C programming. They are discussed below.
First: Looping (5 points)
The first part requires you to write a program that checks whether a number is prime or not. A number is prime if it is divisible only by 1 and that number.
Input and output format: This program takes an integer argument from the command line. It prints "yes" if the number is prime, "no" if the number is not prime, and "error" if no input is given. You can assume the input will be a proper integer ( 0). Thus, it will not contain '.' or any letters. The command prompt in the examples below is indicated by '$'.
Example Execution:
$./first 10 no $./first 7 yes $./first error
Second: Linked List (10 points)
In the second part, you have to implement a linked list that maintains a list of integers in sorted order. Thus, if the list contains 2, 5 and 8, then 1 will be inserted at the start of the list, 3 will be inserted between 2 and 5 and 10 will be inserted at the end.
Input format: This program takes a file name as an argument from the command line. The file is either blank or contains successive lines of input. Each line contains a character, either 'i' or
1
'd', followed by a tab character and then an integer. For each of the lines that starts with 'i', your program should insert that number in the linked list in sorted order if it is not already there. Your program should not insert any duplicate values. If the line starts with a 'd', your program should delete the value if it is present in the linked list. Your program should silently ignore the line if the requested value is not present in the linked list.
Output format: At the end of the execution, your program should print all the values of the linked list in sorted order. The values should be in a single line separated by tabs. There should be no leading or trailing white spaces in the output. Your program should print "error" (and nothing else) if the file does not exist or it contains lines with improper structure. Your program should print a blank line if the input file is empty or the resulting linked list has no nodes.
Example Execution:
Lets assume we have 3 text files with the following contents: "file1.txt" is empty file2.txt: i 10 i 12 d 10 i 5
file3.txt: d 7 i 10 i 5 i 10 d 10 Then the result will be:
$./second file1.txt
$./second file2.txt 5 12 $./second file3.txt 5 $./second file4.txt error
Third: Hash table (10 points)
In this part, you will implement a hash table containing integers. The hash table has 10,000 buckets. An important part of a hash table is collision resolution. In this assignment, we want you to use chaining with a linked list to handle a collision. This means that if there is a collision at a particular bucket then you will maintain a linked list of all values stored at that bucket. For more information about chaining, see
2
For this problem, you have to use following hash function: key modulo the number of buckets.
Input format: This program takes a file name as argument from the command line. The file is either blank or contains successive lines of input. Each line contains a character, either 'i' or 's', followed by a tab and then an integer, the same format as in the Second Part. For each of the lines that starts with 'i', your program should insert that number in the hash table if it is not present. If the line starts with a 's', your program should search the hash table for that value.
Output format: For each line in the input file, your program should print the status/result of that operation. For an insert, the program should print "inserted" if the value is inserted or "duplicate" if the value is already present. For a search, the program should print "present" or "absent" based on the outcome of the search. Your program should print "error" (and nothing else) if the file does not exist. The program should also print "error" for input lines with improper structure.
Example Execution:
Lets assume we have 2 text files with the following contents: "file1.txt" is empty file2.txt: i 10 i 12 s 10 c 5 i 10 s 5 The the results will be:
$./third file1.txt
$./third file2.txt inserted inserted present error duplicate absent $./third file3.txt error
Fourth: Matrix addition (15 points)
The fourth part requires you to add 2 matrices. The matrices need to have same dimensions (number of rows and columns) for the addition to be valid. The output will be of the same dimensions as well.
3
Input and output format: This program takes a file name as argument from the command line. The first line of the file will contain two numbers separated by a tab, m and n, where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns. This will be followed by the m lines of first matrix followed by a blank line and second matrix, also on m lines. Each row will have n tab-separated values. You can assume the input will be properly structured for this part of the assignment. The program should output the result matrix in m lines. Each line will contain n tab-separated values.
Example Execution:
Lets assume we have a text file, file1.txt, with the following contents: file1.txt: 3 3 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Then the output will be: $./fourth file1.txt 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
Fifth:Matrix Multiplication (15 points)
The fifth part requires you to multiply 2 matrices. The matrices need to have consistent dimensions (number of rows and columns) for a valid multiplication: the number of columns of the first matrix must be equal to number of rows in the second. Input and output formats: This program takes a file name as an argument from the command line. The first line of the file will contain 2 tab-separated numbers, m1 and n1, where m1 is the number of rows in the first matrix and n1 is the number of columns in the first matrix. This will be followed by the m1 lines of first matrix, containing n1 tab-separated values, followed by a blank line, then 2 tab-separated numbers, m2 and n2, where m2 is the number of rows in the second matrix and n2 is the number of columns in the second matrix. Again, this is followed by the m2 lines of the second matrix. Each row will contain n2 tab-separated values, the same as the first matrix. You can assume the input will be properly structured for this part of the assignment. The program should output the resulting matrix in m1 lines. Each line will again contain n2 tab-separated values.
4
Lets assume we have "file1.txt":
3 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
2 3 1 1 1 1 1 1
The output will be:
$./seventh file1.txt 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4 4
Sixth: String Operations (5 points)
The sixth part requires you to read an input string representing a sentence, generate an acronym from the first letters of the words, and print it out. The letters of the acronym are the same case as their respective words in the input sentence. Input and output format: This program takes a string of space-separated words, and should output the acronym as a single word.
$./sixth Hello World! HW $./sixth Welcome to CS211 WtC $./sixth Rutgers Scarlet Knights RSK
Seventh: String Operations II (5 points)
The seventh part requires you to read an input string representing a sentence, form a word whose letters are the last letters or punctuation of the words in the given sentence, and print it. Input and output format: This program takes a string of space-separated words, and should output a single word as the output.
$./seventh Hello World! o! $./seventh Welcome to CS211 eo1
5
$./seventh Rutgers Scarlet Knights sts
Eighth: Binary Search Tree (15 points)
In the eighth part, you have to implement a binary search tree. The tree must satisfy the binary search tree property: the key in each node must be greater than all keys stored in the left sub-tree, and smaller than all keys in right sub-tree. You have to dynamically allocate space for each node and free the space for the nodes at the end of the program. Input format: This program takes a file name as an argument from the command line. The file is either blank or contains successive lines of input. Each line starts with a character, either i' or 's', followed by a tab and then an integer. For each line that starts with 'i', your program should insert that number in the binary search tree if it is not already there. If it is already present, you will print "duplicate" and not change the tree. If the line starts with a 's', your program should search for the value. Output format: For each line in the input file, your program should print the status/result of the operation. For an insert operation, the program should print either" ''present", followed by the height of the node, or "absent" based on the outcome of the search. Your s 1
Executing the program in the following fashion should produce the output shown below:
$./eighth file1.txt inserted 1 inserted 2 inserted 3 inserted 3 inserted 2 present 3
6
Ninth: Deletion with Binary Search Tree (20 points)
In the ninth part, you will extend the binary search tree in the eighth part to support the deletion of a node. The deletion of a node is slightly trickier compared to the search and insert in the eighth part. The deletion is straightforward if the node to be deleted has only one child. You make the parent of the node to be deleted point to that child. In this scenario, special attention must be paid only when the node to be deleted is the root. Deleting a node with two children requires some more work. In this case, you must find the minimum element in the right subtree of the node to be deleted. Then you insert that node in the place where the node to be deleted was. This process needs to be repeated to delete the minimum node that was just moved. In either case, if the node to be deleted is the root, you must update the pointer to the root to point to the new root node. Input format: This program takes a file name as argument from the command line. The file is either blank or contains successive lines of input. Each line contains a character, 'i', 's', or 'd', followed by a tab and an integer. For each line that starts with 'i', your program should insert that number in the binary search tree if it is not already there. If the line starts with a 's', your program should search for that value. If the line starts with a 'd', your program should delete that value from the tree. Output format: For each line in the input file, your program should print the status/result of the operation. For insert and search, the output is the same as in the Eighth Part: For an insert operation, the program should print either " "present", followed by the height of the node, or "absent" based on the outcome of the search. For a delete, the program should print "success" or "fail" based on the whether the value was present or not. Again, as in the Eight Part, your i 2 s 1 d 3 s 2
Executing the program in the following fashion should produce the output shown below:
7
./ninth file1.txt inserted 1 inserted 2 inserted 3 inserted 3 inserted 2 inserted 4 present 3 success present 4
Structure of your submission folder
All files must be included in the pa1 folder (if you use it) and a make file. For example, the subdirectory first will contain, first.c, first.h (if you create one) and Makefile (the names are case sensitive).
pa1 |- first |– first.c |– first.h (if used) |– Makefile |- second |– second.c |– second.h (if used) |– Makefile |- third |– third.c |– third.h (if used) |– Makefile |- fourth |– fourth.c |– fourth.h (if used) |– Makefile |- fifth |– fifth.c |– fifth.h (if used) |– Makefile |- sixth |– sixth.c |– sixth.h (if used) |– Makefile |- seventh |– seventh.c |– seventh.h (if used) |– Makefile |- eigth |– eigth.c |– eigth.h (if used)
8
|– Makefile |- ninth |– ninth.c |– ninth.h (if used) |– Makefile
Submission
You have to e-submit the assignment using Sakai. Your submission should be a tar file named pa1.tar. To create this file, put everything that you are submitting into a directory (folder) named pa1. Then, cd into the directory containing pa1 (that is, pa1's parent directory) and run the following command:
tar cvf pa1.tar pa1
To check that you have correctly created the tar file, you should copy it (pa1.tar) into an empty directory and run the following command:
tar xvf pa1.tar
This should create a directory named pa1 in the (previously) empty directory and a make file. For example, the subdirectory first will contain, first.c, first.h and Makefile (the names are case sensitive).
AutoGrader
We provide the AutoGrader to test your assignment. AutoGrader is provided as autograder.tar. Executing the following command will create the autograder folder.
$tar xvf autograder.tar
There are two modes available for testing your assignment with the AutoGrader.
First mode
Testing when you are writing code with a pa1 folder (1) Lets say you have a pa1 folder with the directory structure as described in the assignment. (2) Copy the folder to the directory of the autograder (3) Run the autograder with the following command $python auto grader.py It will run your programs and print your scores.
9
Second mode
This mode is to test your final submission (i.e, pa1.tar) (1) Copy pa1.tar to the auto grader directory (2) Run the auto grader with pa1.tar as the argument. The command line is $python auto grader.py pa1.tar

Smoke Rises, and Rizal Smokes.
Ok, I hope someone from Indonesia reads here, so they can explain this to me. How in hell does a two-year-old child start smoking? Actually, how does a two-year-old child already reach the point of having a 40-cigarette-a-day habit? Please explain to me how Ardi Rizal's situation is possible, because I can't figure it out.
I'm starting to think the dad might have something to do with it, since he thinks there's nothing wrong with the situation, but they say other young children in the country are smoking.
But this one seems exceptionally ridiculous. I wonder if dad will see a problem when junior has cancer at the tender age of 14, if he lives that long | eng | 7bebda35-e4d2-482a-ba76-ae51172ac22f | https://www.vomitcomet.org/2010/05/27/smoke-rises-and-rizal-smokes/ |

FACT CHECK: Is HIV Not Contagious?
A video shared on Facebook allegedly shows a doctor injecting himself with an HIV-infected needle to prove that HIV is not contagious.
Verdict: False
The claim is baseless. A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) spokesperson confirmed that HIV is contagious in an email to Check Your Fact.
Fact Check:
An HIV patient recently become the oldest to be cured of the virus after receiving a stem cell transplant, according to New York Post. He is one of the five people worldwide to be go into full remission of HIV, according to ABC News.
The Facebook post claims HIV is not contagious. The post shares a video that allegedly show footage of a man injecting himself with a needle that had HIV-infected blood.
"In 1993 Dr. Robert Willner inoculated himself with HIV positive blood on live television," the text on the video reads. "He wanted to prove that the HIV virus was not contagious. He never tested positive."
It's true that Willner gave such a demonstration, according to a Washington Post article that was published in Nov. 1994. Anthony Fauci dubbed the experiment "extremely dangerous" and was concerned about the effect it would have on citizens' views of safe sex.
The claim that HIV is not contagious, however, is false.
"Yes, HIV is contagious. Most people get HIV through anal or vaginal sex, or sharing needles, syringes, or other drug injection equipment (for example, cookers)," a CDC spokesperson confirmed in an email to Check Your Fact. "But there are powerful tools to help prevent HIV transmission." | eng | c491d2c3-7608-48fb-98ca-a7cc4f357fed | https://checkyourfact.com/2023/04/17/fact-check-hiv-not-contagious/ |

Banning "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn written by Mark Twain" in Schools
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn written by Mark Twain might seem like a good book to have high school students read since it's about a boy named Huckleberry Finn and his adventures through his life by dealing with the struggles that he has or when he finds a runaway slave, named Jim, who is on an island trying to stay hidden so he will not be sold as a slave. Throughout the novel the reader will see that Huck has an adventurous personality, comes to find out who is father is and tries to help Jim, the runaway slave, to live and hopefully see his family again. Also, there are people out there that might think Huck Finn may not be a good book to read and think that it should be banned from schools and libraries. The reason why people think that is, because they think the book has to do with racism, not showing enough respect for the white race, or because the book includes profanity like the word "nigger" (Twain 2). There are probably a lot reasons on why this book is banned, but there's really two that are probably the main ones which are the usage of "nigger" (Twain 2), its controversial, and also some people think that Huck Finn should not be banned from schools or libraries.The first thing a person might think of when they think of the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn would be that it's about a boy seeking adventures, trying to help a runaway slave, and living down South in the state of Missouri. All of those assumptions might be true or just their own personal thoughts what they do not realize though that Huck Finn is also a book that is being banned in so many different places around the United States. One of the reasons for being banned is for the usage of profanity like the word "nigger" (Twain 2). People livin…
…nk that Huck Finn should not be banned since it's considered a classic in today's society, while other people would think that it should be banned since the novel uses profanity. In today's society a person reading Huck Finn think that this book is controversial, yes that might be true but it should not be considered that anymore it should be considered a classic and a book that involves real life events or situations. The last thing that a reader would get or know from reading Huck Finn would be that banning this book for using profanity is ridiculous since music and movies use profanity and yet they're not being banned. There are two main reasons on why people are trying to get The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn which is using the word "nigger" (Twain 2) and for being categorized as controversial, and then some people think that this novel should not be banned. | eng | c6f09f7b-6b35-4660-891e-c4ca68e4b961 | https://savedelicious.com/banning-the-adventures-of-huckleberry-finn-written-by-mark-twain-in-schools/ |

Some are added directly to our foods and some additives are in the packaging and seep into the food. Research is now showing that when even small amounts of these additives combined together can have much more serious adverse effects on our health and many processed foods have hundreds of additives. Avoiding food additives is particularly important for children. If a child is exposed to chemicals during critical developmental times, before birth and after, it can affect their reproductive, neurological and immune systems. For example, additives such as propyl paraben, a food preservative found in muffins, tortillas, cakes and food dyes, is an endocrine disrupting chemical and can alter hormone signaling and gene expression. The European Union removed this chemical from their safe list back in 2006 because of its potential health hazard. It is still a very common additive to found in nearly 50 name brand snack items and in cosmetic and personal care items.

5 Positive Pandemic Outcomes in Healthcare (and 5 Negative Impacts)
As my compatriot, Sir Winston Churchill once said, "Never let a good crisis go to waste."
The last couple of years have been surreal in terms of what we have all experienced during the pandemic. And while we are sensitive to the pain and suffering experienced by many, there has also been a lot of opportunity for digital transformation, particularly in the healthcare industry.
In this blog, we will highlight five positive outcomes from the pandemic, as well as five negative impacts, along with some interesting use cases.
Let's begin with…
5 Negative Impacts of the Pandemic
At Bluedoor, we prefer to take the "glass half full" approach and look at these not as negatives but instead as opportunities for innovation:
1. Healthcare Workers Facing Burnout
According to a survey conducted by KFF/Washington Post, 3 in 10 frontline healthcare workers said the crisis took a toll on their mental health. The same survey reported that 62% of frontline healthcare workers said pandemic-induced worry and stress took a toll on their mental health with 49% saying it affected their physical health.1
2. Patients Forced to Punt Elective Procedures
In areas overwhelmed with Covid-19 patients, many hospitals have been forced to postpone treatments and surgeries for patients suffering from other serious conditions. When possible, many hospitals and physicians are trying to strike a balance between limiting or shuttering elective screenings and procedures versus keeping them to ensure those delays do not put their patients at risk.
3. Healthcare Inequities Even More Pronounced
The pandemic has cast a spotlight on many gaps in the healthcare system that were not visible before to the general public. One of these gaps is inequities in access to healthcare.
For example, according to KFF:
"Recent data from before the COVID-19 pandemic showed that people of color fared worse compared to their White counterparts across a range of health measures, including infant mortality, pregnancy-related deaths, prevalence of chronic conditions, and overall physical and mental health status. As of 2018, life expectancy among Black people was four years lower than White people, with the lowest expectancy among Black men. Research also documents disparities across other factors. For example, low-income people report worse health status than higher income individuals, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals experience certain health challenges at increased rates." 2
4. Misinformation Has Run Rampant
Alarmingly, many people have received and acted on information that is not based on scientific evidence, which has caused many to put themselves and others at risk.
According to KFF,
"78% of the public believes or is unsure about at least one false statement, and nearly a third believe at least four of eight false statements tested." 3
5. Mental Health Issues Take Center Stage
Healthcare workers were not the only ones who saw an increase in mental health issues. According to KFF:
"The COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic recession have negatively affected many people's mental health and created new barriers for people already suffering from mental illness and substance use disorders. During the pandemic, about 4 in 10 adults in the US have reported symptoms of anxiety or depressive disorder, a share that has been largely consistent, up from one in 10 adults who reported these symptoms from January to June 2019." 4
Next, let's turn our attention to…
5 Positive Pandemic Outcomes
1. Increase in Virtual Care Options for Both Clinicians and Patients
There is no doubt that the pandemic has been a catalyst for virtual care. According to the CDC, the number of telehealth visits increased by 50% in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the first quarter of 2019.5 McKinsey reports that the use of virtual care is 38 times higher than before the COVID-19 pandemic, and both providers and patients are happy with their experiences.6
2. Public Agencies Forced to Modernize
The pandemic certainly accelerated the digital transformation efforts of public agencies such as the NHS, and NIH, and forced clinical trials to decentralize – which in turn prompted the FDA to accelerate approvals for digital therapeutics and remote patient monitoring.
See how Bluedoor client, Huma, is helping to bring the hospital to the home and tackle waiting lists for the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. Meanwhile, Castor is helping to democratize clinical research through their decentralized clinical trials platform.
3. Increase in People Thinking About their Health and Ways to Improve It
The pandemic gave people a lot of time to stop and reflect on what is most important in life. And many came to the realization that prevention through exercise and a healthier diet was something they should personally invest in.
To that end, Bluedoor partner, Wholistics Health, has launched a chatbot program that provides evidenced-based tips and guidance to promote engagement and sustained behavior change over time. Designed by behavioral health experts, the chatbot takes a holistic approach to guide activities of daily living to manage chronic conditions and enhance overall health and wellness.
4. Mental Health is in the Spotlight
As we discussed above, mental health is in the spotlight. And because mental health is being discussed more and more, the stigma around receiving mental health care is subsiding. And consequently, because the need is greater and in-person sessions are harder to access, telepsychiatry has become more readily available, making mental health care more accessible to those in need.
See how Bluedoor client, MindCare, has become a leading provider of round-the-clock telepsychiatry and behavioral health services to hospitals, emergency departments, outpatient clinics and correctional facilities, conducting more than 100,000 virtual visits a year.
5. Increased Innovation in Healthcare
The pandemic increased innovation in healthcare due to the fact that we were forced to break out of our traditional siloes and think differently about how to solve problems.
See how Bluedoor client, Infermedica, is making it easier to pre-diagnose, triage, and direct patients to appropriate medical services via their AI-enabled digital front door.
As we have illustrated above, there were many things that haven't worked well during the pandemic. However, we have also seen some shining examples of those who have taken the opportunity to address these challenges head-on to not only innovate their business models, but more importantly, to save lives and help those in need leveraging digital health technologies.
With that being said, let's end where we began, with a reminder and lesson to us all that we should… | eng | d64e4ba3-f872-4c05-82d7-000a0907c548 | https://bluedoor.us/5-positive-pandemic-outcomes-in-healthcare-and-5-negative-impacts/ |
tip411 Can Help Students Keep Their Schools Safe
Like many of you, the recent tragedy in Parkland, Florida has left us wondering what more we can do to help protect our kids in school.
While there's no easy solution, we believe tip411 can help students to more effectively share information anonymously with administrators and/or law enforcement.
tip411 School Edition enables students to send anonymous tips to Administrators, School Resource Officers (SROs), and other authorized personnel who can respond to the tips in real time from any internet connected device, creating a two way anonymous chat.
It provides a "safe space" for students to communicate with authority figures through two-way anonymous communications that facilitate dialogue, leading to more accurate information.
"Our SRO's have great relationships with many students, but tip411 allows our SRO's to build relationships with students they have not yet been able to reach. tip411 also promotes kids being responsible for the safety of their schools and having them take that kind of ownership is priceless." – McKinney Independent School District's Director of Safety, Greg Hill
Many communities across the US have begun to use tip411 to improve school safety, and examples of how they've use it can be found here: | eng | 3ab0b43f-56bd-473f-a48a-9d613aaf61a9 | https://home.tip411.com/2018/02/tip411-can-help-students-keep-their-schools-safe |

Work-Life Balance in Times of Economic Uncertainty: 5 Key Strategies
July 3, 2022
Maintaining a healthy work-life balance is an ongoing challenge, but it becomes even more crucial during periods of economic uncertainty, inflation, and market fluctuations. The pressure to excel at work and safeguard your income can be overwhelming, making it essential to reassess your priorities and ensure a balanced lifestyle. Here are five strategies to help you regain control of your work-life equilibrium during uncertain times.
1. Set Limits for a Well-Managed Schedule
Initiate the process of reclaiming your work-life balance by setting clear limits. Avoid overscheduling yourself and learn to say no when necessary. The Mayo Clinic emphasizes the importance of managing your schedule effectively to ensure you allocate enough time for personal activities and relationships. Establishing boundaries is a foundational step in achieving a healthier balance between your professional and personal life.
2. Detach from Work for Mental Well-being
With technology blurring the lines between professional and personal life, detaching from work has become increasingly challenging. Resist the temptation to check work-related matters during your off-hours, as it can lead to chronic stress. Seek guidance from your manager regarding expectations for disconnection, especially if you work from home. Create a clear boundary by dressing for the job, having a dedicated workspace, and transitioning into home life with activities that signal the end of the workday.
3. Take a Meaningful Vacation
Recharge both mentally and physically by taking a vacation that allows you to fully disconnect from work. Even a one-day staycation can make a significant difference. Leave your laptop behind and immerse yourself in activities that bring you joy. Utilize all your allotted vacation days to ensure a complete break from the demands of the workplace. A well-deserved vacation is a powerful tool for resetting and achieving a healthier work-life balance.
4. Optimize Your Workday Structure
Efficiency during your workday is crucial for preventing an overflow of tasks into your personal time. Implement time-management strategies to set achievable goals and analyze your to-do list. Identify the most productive hours of your workday and allocate them to essential activities. Minimize distractions, such as excessive email and phone checking, which can consume valuable time. Streamlining your workday enhances productivity and contributes to a more balanced lifestyle.
5. Embrace Relaxation Through New Activities
Discovering new ways to relax is key to achieving a balanced life. Engage in activities like yoga, meditation, or hobbies such as gardening, knitting, or painting. Hobbies provide an outlet for relaxation, diverting your focus from work-related stressors. Consider activities you can enjoy with your partner, family, or friends, fostering social connections while maintaining a sense of relaxation. Whether it's hiking, dancing, cycling, or cooking classes, shared activities contribute to a more fulfilling work-life balance.
In conclusion, proactively managing your work-life balance during economic uncertainty is crucial for overall well-being. By setting limits, detaching from work, taking meaningful vacations, optimizing your workday, and embracing relaxation, you can navigate challenging times with resilience. Striking a harmonious balance between your professional and personal life is not only achievable but imperative for long-term success and happiness. | eng | 1c510da5-7243-4c94-b4d0-28fa7616fe0b | https://venetakis.com/5-easy-steps-to-improve-your-work-life-balance.html |
Occupational Hygienist – Understanding Occupational Hygiene
Understanding Occupational Hygiene and Occupational Health
When it comes to the health and safety of employees in the workplace, it is advisable to seek guidance from an accredited health officer and occupational hygienist. Together, they would work to prevent health and safety related risks whilst staying compliant with regulations.
Improved worker health reduces absenteeism and the number of individuals who might have to leave employment prematurely through injury or illness. A healthy workplace not only protects employees from injury and illness. It can increase productivity, raise employee morale, and improve the quality of products.
Workplace Health and Safety
Occupational health studies the effects and consequences that environmental hazards or stress have on the health of employees in the workplace. The primary objective is to prevent workplace-related illness or injury through a course of proactive actions, which would include:
Promoting thought safety in the working environment through safer work practices.
Ensuring that staff utilise ergonomic methods and actions.
Monitoring the overall health within the organisation and finding opportunities to improve standards through potential preventative measures.
Supporting staff who are struggling with illness or absence related to sickness.
Providing ongoing mental health and wellness support for those with work and domestic stresses.
What is the Role of an Occupational Hygienist?
An occupational hygienist assists employers and employees in improving workplace conditions and work practices by quantifying exposure levels and health risks. By doing this, control measures can be put in place to minimise or eliminate exposure to environmental work hazards. Chemical, physical, biological, and ergonomic hazards are studied and analysed so that controls can be put in place to measure, quantify, monitor, and eliminate these dangers.
An Occupational hygienist also needs to anticipate, recognise, evaluate, control and apply the principles of industrial hygiene to prevent injury or illness. Due to the complexities of work environments and the measuring instruments, workplace monitoring needs to be carried out by these professionals.
Through monitoring, the occupational hygienist will be able to capture the exposure levels of workers during their work activities at certain times. This would measure a specific physical, biological or chemical agent and identify exactly where the exposure occurs. The hygienist would then be able to consider variations in exposure during different work shifts or maintenance activities. The defined purpose of this is to determine if exposures are safely below or dangerously above the exposure limits of hazardous materials.
A Symbiotic Relationship
Hazards in the workplace can reduce the life expectancy of employees. Providing them with a clean, pollutant free and hygienic working environment through measured controls is where an occupational hygienist excels. Dealing with the exposures that these hazards have on employees, physically and mentally, is what occupational health is all about. By working together, a safe and healthy workplace can be achieved.
Employees are a company's most important asset, and employers need to safeguard them against potential risks by employing the assistance of an Occupational Hygienist. Understanding occupational health and hygiene is key to reducing overall health costs, improving productivity, and creating a safe workplace.

how to tell if you have an anxiety disorder or just stress: a cognitive therapist weighs in
October 6, 2020
Signs of Stress vs Anxiety Disorder
These days it's hardly uncommon to be stress-free.
In the best of times, our many responsibilities both at home and at work can leave us feeling stressed; add in the limited scope of activity and fear a pandemic brings, and most of us can feel like we're drowning.
For me, the anxiety seems to creep in when I sit still just long enough. It's usually in the afternoons, when I've done school pickup, am getting things in order for the kids' activities and dinner, and I'm starting to feel exhausted. Something about that physical exhaustion brings on the endless list of questions:
Will we be okay? What if one of us gets sick? Why aren't I doing better at work? Why can't I seem to keep up with everything I need to do in the house?
And then I realized, I'm certain I'm not the only one who questions:
What's normal when it comes to anxiety?
Everyone will of course be different, but there are of course some red flags to watch for when it comes to deciding how best to deal with your stress.
I reached out to friend and cognitive psychotherapist Niro Feliciano, who's been on my podcast several times (see below for the episodes!), and who dedicates her own podcast and work to educating people on mental health. And her answers can help us decide what's really going on in our minds.
Is It Stress or an Anxiety Disorder?
"A clinical anxiety disorder is a period of 6 months or more, characterized by excessive daily worry usually about two or more aspects of life—relationships, work, finances, parenting. This is often accompanied by physical symptoms of anxiety increased heart rate, shortness of breath, dizziness, nausea.
There are six types of anxiety disorders, some more specific [than others]: for example phobias, separation, social anxiety, agoraphobia, and panic, too.
However, someone can have significant anxiety and not a full blown disorder and it still warrants treatment. There can be a particular situation or place that triggers these feelings and irrational thoughts.
If anxiety both for kids and adults gets in the way of living your normal daily life, especially if it prevents that person from doing the things they need and want to do- it's time to get help. If it's a situation that causes worry, but one that is not impairing the normal routine of life, then it is not as imperative to treat it at that stage."
What At-Home Treatments Work Best for Anxiety?
"[For] a-t home treatments, focus on self-care.
What does this person enjoy that relaxes or distracts them from the issue? Mindfulness meditation and relaxation breathing with an app like Calm, Headspace or Insight Timer can be very effective at not only reducing acute anxiety, but training the body at the neuro-chemical level to become less reactive when this type of breathing becomes a practice.
CBD products have helped people reduce symptoms of anxiety and sleep better. Use at the supervision of a CBD specialist and consult with a physician as well. Epsom salt baths can also help as the body absorbs magnesium very quickly this way and can have noticeable effect.
For acute severe anxiety, sticking your face in a sink full of ice water actually helps. It shocks the system into parasympathetic mode, bringing down the neurophysiological symptoms of anxiety quickly.
As for modalities, CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) has proven very effective in the research in treating anxiety, by identifying the irrational thoughts and unfounded core beliefs and limiting beliefs that are at the core of anxious thinking. It provides a framework to essentially rewire an anxious mind by thought replacement based on evidence. DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) is also helpful for those suffering from dual diagnosis."
Thank you, Niro, for weighing in with your advice and expertise! Of course, it's always best to talk with your own doctor or therapist when it comes to deciding the best course of therapy or treatment for you.

The Enchanting Bear's Paw Plant
The Bear's Paw plant, also known as Cotyledon Tomentosa, is a delightful member of the succulent family. Its thick, ovate leaves are covered in a velvety green fuzz, with striking dark red toothed edges that resemble a bear's claws. This unique texture and beautiful contrast make it a perfect addition to any space. Standing at over 30cm tall, this shrub-like plant produces large orange bell-shaped flowers during the spring. While caring for Bear's Paw is relatively easy, its delicate leaves require special attention.
General Care
Light
When considering the placement of your Cotyledon Tomentosa, keep in mind that if you want it as a houseplant, it should be positioned near a south-facing window or a bright spot with at least six hours of indirect sunlight daily. In contrast, if you plan to include it in your garden alongside other succulents, choose a bright shaded area where the plant won't receive too much direct sunlight. Bear's Paw is fragile and can suffer from overwatering, so it's essential to plant it in well-drained soil to prevent water accumulation.
Temperature
Cotyledon Tomentosa is not cold hardy and will struggle in temperatures below 30°F (-1°C). If you live in a colder region, it's best to plant it in a container that can be easily moved indoors during freezing weather. During this time, it's also advisable to avoid feeding and watering the plant.
Watering
Just like other succulents, Bear's Paw enjoys being thoroughly soaked but then allowed to dry out. During the summer or dry periods, make sure to water the plant deeply once a week, using approximately ¼ cup of water for small paws and 1 to 1 ½ cups for larger ones. For potted Bear's Paw, water only when the soil has completely dried. After watering, remove any excess water from the saucer. In winter, the plants require less water as they become dormant. Water them at least once every other week to prevent the soil from completely drying out and the paws from shriveling.
Soil & Fertilizer Needs
Cotyledon Tomentosa doesn't require much fertilization, especially in cold climates. However, during its active growth period from April to August, it's recommended to feed it with a light balanced all-purpose water-soluble succulent fertilizer twice a month. The plant prefers a well-draining soil mix to prevent root rot. You can use a specialized cacti and succulent soil or enhance regular potting soil with perlite and coarse sand. Aim for a slightly acidic soil with a pH of around 6. Also, choose a pot that is just one size larger than the root system for optimal growth.
Propagation
There are several methods to propagate your Bear's Paw plant. The easiest and most common way is through cuttings. Simply take a 15cm cutting from the main plant, remove some of the leaves, and let it callous over for a few days. Then, place it in warm, well-draining soil with a temperature between 22 to 27 degrees Celsius and water whenever the soil feels dry. Another method is leaf propagation, although it is more challenging compared to using cuttings. If you decide to try it, gently twist a leaf off the plant, allow it to callous for a few days, and then place it on well-draining soil.
Common Problems
1. Pests and Insects on Bear's Paw
Bear's Paw leaves can attract pests, especially cochineal. Regular inspection is crucial, as these pests can be easily missed due to the silver hair on the leaves. Mealybugs, spider mites, and scale insects are common intruders. To remove mealybugs, use a soaked cotton swab with rubbing alcohol directly on the pests. Scale insects can be scraped off with a fingernail.
2. Overwatering
Like most succulents, Bear's Paw is susceptible to fungal diseases caused by excessive watering. Overwatering can lead to limp leaves that easily collapse. Care must be taken when handling the plant to prevent damage.
3. Cold Hardiness
Cotyledon Tomentosa is cold hardy in zones 9b to 11b. If you live in colder conditions, it's best to treat the plant as a houseplant. Ensure it receives enough light to remain healthy, and consider transferring it outside during the summer months.
Bottom Line
Bear's Paw is a stunning stand-alone plant for pots and a real showstopper when combined with other plants. To keep it thriving and healthy, extra care is necessary. By following the tips mentioned above, you can enjoy the charm of these adorable little paws. For more information, watch the video below:

Fashion Expert Mohit Kapoor Guides on Styling Floral Saris for the Festive Season
- Advertisement -
Mohit Kapoor, the Fashion Director and Producer, and the brain behind Moda Fashion Week and Awards, provides valuable insights into rocking the floral sari look during the festive season. Floral saris have made a comeback, gracing Bollywood actresses both on and off-screen. Kapoor offers his expertise on embracing this trend with style.
Kapoor suggests pairing floral saris with deep V-neck blouses or even a bandhgala for a chic look during the festive season. To strike a balance, he recommends avoiding heavy makeup. For daytime events, pastel-colored floral saris are recommended, while brighter hues are suitable for evening occasions. Kapoor advises against using jewelry with floral motifs, as the sari itself features a floral theme. Bold jewelry and a Gajra for the hair can enhance the overall look without overpowering it.
The fashion expert emphasizes experimenting with different draping styles for saris to express individual style. He recommends nude-colored or matching footwear and suggests avoiding glittery heels. To complete the ensemble, temple jewelry and statement rings can be incorporated, along with matching bangles.

The Many Benefits of Children Playing a Team Sport
Outside of the classroom, one of the best ways to teach a child the value of collaboration and how to get along well with others is through team sports. Along with the sheer joy of hitting that first home run or making that first goal, playing a team sport is a wonderful way to help a child enjoy being physically fit. But how does a parent or caregiver choose the right sport for their child?
Benefits of Playing a Team Sport
First, let's look at the many positive aspects of a child playing team sports:
Self-Esteem: Team sports not only help children feel better physically, they can help a child with emotional and mental development. In turn, these benefits help a child build self-esteem, feel pride in learning new skills and find fun in competitive play. Kids can also learn the value of practice and how working hard to master a task can work in other areas of their life.
Teamwork and Leadership Development: One of the best ways to get along with others is to work together as a team and team sports is one of the most natural ways to work together toward a common goal. In every team, there's also the opportunity for leadership skills to develop, skills that can help a child do well in school and in all areas of life.
Healthy habits: The physical benefits of team sports are obvious and can help a child see and feel the value of being physically fit. Also, active play can be a stress reliever and helps kid deal with the normal challenges of childhood. And don't forget that team sports should be about having fun—one of the best parts of being a child.
At what age should a child start playing sports?
Although sports can be enjoyed by children of all ages, toddlers and pre-school aged children are a little too young to begin team sports. For younger children, sports should not be so much about competition but ideally concentrate on being an opportunity for physical activity and fun.
Most experts agree that, ideally, kids should first begin team sports around age 6 or 7. This is the time when most children have the physical and developmental skills as well as the attention span that team sports demand. Parents and caregivers should remember that kids will need to understand the rules of the game to play. And when choosing what type of sports league for a child to play on, make sure it's a league that emphasizes a fun, positive experience that emphasizes safety at all levels.
One last thing to keep in mind is that, despite adult encouragement, some kids simply may not be interested in playing team sports. Some may prefer individual sports like tennis, karate, dancing or swimming—while others may not be interested in traditional sports at all. Sports or no sports, the important thing is to encourage a child to get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day, even if it's simply walking, dancing or doing chores around the house. | eng | ac25997b-f8f7-445b-9c19-7602ce9db8f6 | https://abcquality.org/posts/2020/the-many-benefits-of-children-playing-a-team-sport/ |
Asthma patient education
What is asthma?
Asthma is a chronic lung problem and is the most common long-term illness in children. There is no cure for asthma, but with proper management and control, children can live normal, active lives.
Asthma can cause the inside of your airway to become swollen and inflamed and the muscles around the outside of the airway to be sensitive or "twitchy". Asthma can also cause airways to produce a thick mucus. When children are exposed to certain conditions or triggers, the swelling/inflammation will increase and the muscles will tighten, making it harder to breathe. Your child may also cough up some thick mucus.
Signs and symptoms of asthma
The most common symptoms of asthma include:
wheezing,
coughing (especially a pro longed cough after an illness),
shortness of breath,
chest tightness, and
difficulty breathing with excretion or exercise.
The symptoms can range from mild to severe. Asthma symptoms may be different for children as well different for an individual child from one episode to the next.
Asthma attack
Symptoms of an asthma attack may include one or more of the following:
severe shortness of breath,
rapid shallow breathing or
sucking in the skin at the base of the neck or just below the base of the ribs.
If your child is having an asthma attack:
Stay calm.
Follow your child's asthma action plan.
Give your child their "Blue" Ventolin inhaler. Remember your child's "Blue" inhaler should start to work in 10-15 minutes and should last for four (4) hours. If there is no improvement after the first 10-15 minutes, make sure the "BLUE" inhaler isn't empty and that your child used proper technique when taking the inhaler.
Monitor your child's symptoms. If they persist more than 10-15 minutes with no improvement after giving the "BLUE" inhaler, seek emergency attention.
Management of asthma
Each child will have a specific asthma management plan to ensure they can enjoy normal, active lives. When developing this plan, the health-care team will conduct an assessment of the child's environment, identify possible triggers in the environment or in the child's life and discuss with you how to avoid and/or decrease risk of exposure to triggers.
Asthma triggers
Avoiding triggers play an important role in managing your child's asthma. Triggers are things that can make your child's asthma worse. It is important to know what your child's asthma triggers are and whenever possible, to remove or avoid them.
Common cold:
One of the most common asthma triggers for children is the common cold. Since the common cold is most common trigger, we recommend children and their families get a yearly flu shot.
Exercise
Cold air
Before going out into cold weather make sure you child has a scarf that covers the mouth and nose.
Exercise or play inside on cold days.
Cigarettesmoke
Do no not smoke inside the house or car. Remember that cigarette smoke sticks to your clothes, so wear designated smoking clothes when possible.
If someone in the household smokes, try to quit.
Wood/oil/cooking smoke
When cooking, make sure to use a fan vented to the outside.
Avoid fireplaces, woodstoves and campfires.
Have heating ducts cleaned on a regular basis.
Mold
Frequently clean moldy areas with soap and water.
Reduce humidity by using fans and dehumidifiers. Humidity levels in the house should be below 50%.
Fix leaks in the plumbing or roof immediately.
Weather changes
Emotional stress
Pet dander
Reduce contact with pets as much as possible.
Keep pets out of the bedroom.
Use an air purifier.
Pollen
Keep windows and doors closed during peak season.
Consult with your physician regarding use of an allergy medication or nasal spray.
Cockroaches
Hire a professional exterminator and keep your child out of the house while chemicals are being used.
Dust mites
Use dust mite proof mattress and pillow covers.
Reduce clutter and stuffed animals in your child's bedroom.
Wash and dry bed linen weekly on a hot cycle (do not use an outside clothesline).
Make sure there are no words like ibuprofen, aspirin, ASA or acetylsalicylic acid on the labels of the medication you give your child.
Medications
After review of possible triggers and environmental assessment, the health-care team will discuss medications that may help to manage your child's symptoms. There are two types of inhaler medications that are used to manage asthma: reliever and controller medications.
Reliever medications
Used during an asthma attack or before exercise.
Work quickly to relax the muscles around your child's airways when they become tight.
Should be accessible to your child at ALL TIMES.
Are often referred to as your "Blue puffer".
Should always be used with a spacer unless your device is a turbuhaler.
Ventolin® is the most common type of reliever. Upon use, Ventolin should start to work in 10-15 minutes and should last for four (4) hours. If your child is using Ventolin more than four (4) days a week, or finds that the Ventolin is not lasting 4 hours, it could be a sign that your child's asthma is not well controlled. In this case, please contact your doctor.
Controller medications
MUST be used daily, either once or twice a day depending on what your doctor recommends.
MUST be taken even when your child is well.
Contains a steroid to reduce inflammation and mucus inside the airways.
Can cause a yeast infection in your mouth called thrush. To reduce risk of thrush ALWAYS use a spacer with a puffer and rinse the mouth with water after each use.
Takes 2-4 weeks to start to work.
NOT effective for treating an asthma attack; your "blue puffer" should be used to treat an asthma attack.
Asthma action plan
Once you and your health care team decide on the appropriate medications to manage your child's asthma, an asthma action plan may be developed. An asthma action plan is a written care plan that you and your doctor mutually agree upon, to help control your child's asthma. Your doctor will help you select the right medication(s) for your child's symptoms and outline when and how to use them. Always follow dosing instructions carefully and contact your health-care team if you have any questions.
Inhaler technique
Improper inhaler technique is a common cause of poor asthma control. Please view the resource handouts for more information.
Asthma control questionnaire
The following questions may assist you in determining your child's health.
Is your child's asthma in good control?
Does your child have a daytime cough that is less than 4 times days per week?
Does your child have a nighttime less than 1 night per week?
Is your child's physical activity normal? (Are they able to keep up with other children their own age without becoming short of breath, coughing, and wheezing or experience chest tightness?)
Is your child's asthma flare up mild or infrequent?
Has your child had any absences from school or work because of trouble breathing?
Is your child using their blue puffer (Ventolin, Bricanyl) less than 4 times per week?
If you answer YES to all the above questions, your child's asthma is controlled. If answer NO to any of the above questions, contact your physician to discuss your child's asthma action plan | eng | 43ffb56a-2421-4498-b7e6-c75bfcc79d30 | https://cwhp.easternhealth.ca/children-and-youth/outpatient-services/asthma/PEM/ |

a range of pathogenic bacteria worldwide that can affect all age groups of both sexes. In the worst cases, certain bacterial infections may cause severe morbidity and mortality in human population. Moreover, some pathogenic bacteria have acquired the genes to become multidrug-resistant (MDR) strains due to an extensive use of antimicrobials. The MDR bacterial strains have posed serious challenges to the scientists and clinicians in the last few decades. There is a dire need either to find new antimicrobials or replace or modify the currently available antimicrobials to combat drug-resistant bacterial infections.
Recent advances in the field of Nanotechnology have provided new hopes for patients and practitioners to overcome the problem of drug resistance. The effectiveness of nanoparticles (NPs) depends on the interaction between the NPs and the microorganisms. The NPs have extensively been studied for acting as antimicrobials to fight against drug-resistant bacteria. The NPs can be defined as intentionally produced particles that have characteristics dimension from 1 to 100 nm and have properties that are not shared by non-nanoscale particles with the same chemical composition.
The synthesis and biomedical application of noble metal NPs, especially gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) is a promising field of research and has garnered the attention of vast groups of researchers. The tailored ability to ensure cellular uptake with controlled release of the drug to specific cell target, significant stability, bio-inertness with non-toxicity of gold have made AuNPs a popular candidate for biomedical applications such as biosensors, drug delivery for cancer chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
There are many characteristics making NPs strong alternatives for traditional antibiotic drugs. Firstly, they have a high surface area to volume ratio, which can increase the contact area with target organisms. Additionally, they may be synthesised from polymers, lipids, and metals. Furthermore, a multitude of chemical structures, such as fullerenes and metal oxides, allow for a diverse set of chemical functionalities.
Nanomaterials have become a promising and efficient drug candidate that can replace conventional materials with most applications in the field of science and technology. Commonly used nanoparticles are formulated with silver, gold and zinc, each with different properties and spectrum activities. AuNPs are widely used in enormous biological applications mainly in medical and gene therapy and biosensors for diagnosis. AuNPs are easy to be prepared by co-precipitation approach and may have lower toxicity compared to other metallic nanomaterials such as silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and their emphasis on healthcare costs, has encouraged researchers to innovate new approaches to develop more effective antimicrobial agents to overcome the bacterial resistance and reduce their cost. The present study was aimed to assess the effectiveness and mechanism of the antimicrobial activity of AuNPs as a novel therapeutic formulation against E. coli strains.
Methods
The stool, urine and wound samples were collected from patients from different hospitals in Qassim region, Saudi Arabia. The samples were collected during the period between September and December 2018. The samples were then processed using appropriate methods. They were cultured on blood and MacConkey agar plates and incubated at 37-degree C for 24 hours. Gram stain, API20E and other biochemical tests were then performed to confirm E. coli isolation.
The macrodilution method was used to establish the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of AuNPs. The antibacterial effect of AuNPs against E. coli strains was evaluated at the MICs of the NPs. In brief, two-fold serial dilutions (200–0.39 μg/ml) was prepared. Each well was consequently filled with 100 μl of inoculum. To evaluate the antibacterial action of AuNPs on bacterial growth, the MICs for all isolates were determined after 24 hours using the optical density (OD600) of the bacterial culture solutions. The final cell concentrations of bacterial inoculants were 106–107 CFU/ml.
To determine MBC, 50 μl aliquot from the tubes not showing any turbidity was transferred onto Tryptone Soya Agar (TSA) plates not supplemented with AuNPs and then incubated at 37-degree C for 24 hours. All plates were examined before and after incubation for the presence or absence of bacterial growth. The number of surviving organisms was determined by viability counts. The lowest concentration of NPs that inhibited the growth of ≥99.99 per cent of E. coli was defined as MBC. All of the experiments were duplicated on two different days.
Synthesis of nanoparticle formulation
Aqueous colloidal AuNPs suspension (0.05 mg/ml) was purchased from PlasmaChem GmbH (Berlin, Germany) to use in this study. Chemical reduction method was used for synthesis of vwAuNPs. This was carried out by a reduction of 10-mM tetrachloroauric acid (HAuCl4) using sodium citrate (Sigma-Aldrich, USA). Briefly, an aqueous solution of HAuCl4.3H2O was boiled under reflux while being stirred. Changing the colour of the solution from yellow to deep red after adding 10-ml trisodium citrate (1 per cent) indicated the formation of spherical AuNPs. The solution was refluxed for 20 min, then left to cool at 25°C. Afterward, the solution was filtered through a 0.45-μm acetate filter and stored at 4°C. Morphology of the synthesised NPs was examined by transmission electron microscopy (Oberkochen, Germany). NPs size distribution was measured according to the dynamic light scattering using a Malvern Zeta sizer Nano ZS device (Sysmex, the Netherlands).
Results
Twenty-eight E. coli strains (N=28) were successfully isolated. Fourteen E. coli strains were isolated from the stool samples, while 10 strains were isolated from the urine samples. Only 5 strains were isolated from the wound samples. All isolated strains were initially stained with Gram stain to confirm that they are negative. All isolated strains were then checked by API20E and other biochemical tests for confirming that they were E. coli.
As shown in Figure 1, doses of 100 and 200 µg/ml were found to be effective. The results showed that the majority of E. coli strains (60 per cent) were sensitive to the dose of 100 µg/ml, whereas remaining 40 per cent showed resistance to the same concentration. The dose of 200 µg/ml was found to be effective against the E. coli strains that were resistant to a dose of 100 µg/ml as shown in Figure 2.
The suspension from the tubes of 100 and 200 µg/ml was inoculated in nutrient agar plate and incubated for 24 hours. No growth of bacteria was observed that confirmed as bactericidal concentration. The presence or absence of turbidity was denoted as + or – respectively. As bacterial growth at different concentrations of AuNPs was assessed after 24 hours, the MIC and MBC of E. coli was observed maximum for a concentration of 100 µg/ml, and 200 µg/ml, indicating that it has both bacteriostatic and bactericidal activity (Figure 1).
Statistical analysis of MBC for different concentrations when assessed showed significant inhibition of growth for both 100 µg/ml and 200 µg/ml when compared to 0.09 to 50 µg/ml, however, the optimum MIC was obtained with 100 µg/ml. Therefore, these results confirm that the MIC and MBC of AuNPs can be effective at dilution of 100 µg/ml.
Conclusions
This study investigated the antimicrobial activity of AuNPs against E. coli isolated strains. The current study determined the MIC value by observing the turbidity to determine bacterial growth inhibition in the liquid. The results suggested that the sensitivity of E. coli strains against AuNPs in concentration 100 µg/ml was higher than 200 µg/ml at MIC.
NPs can be used either by combining it with various antimicrobials or capping material of NPs. Coating or capping of NPs often ensures an increase in biocompatibility and reduction of toxicity. The combination of NPs with other antimicrobials can help to reduce the intrinsic toxicity of NPs for mammalian cells. Therefore, the synthesis of AuNPs can be performed either by chemicals or biosynthesis techniques.
This study suggests that AuNPs showed strong antibacterial effect against E. coli strains. It can also be assumed that AuNPs have created immense interest in the field of medicine as an antimicrobial agent. The assessment of the potential toxicity of AuNPs remains a major concern before their clinical applications. However, further studies are required to determine the activities of AgNPs against the same E. coli isolates. | eng | fdc4da7d-1ae0-4a3f-bbe2-9df549f97c5c | https://insights.omnia-health.com/laboratory/antibacterial-effects-gold-nanoparticles-against-e-coli-strains |

Don't throw water at a grease fire; it'll make it much worse
Throwing water at a grease fire is dangerous and can make the fire much worse due to the following reasons:
Oil and Water Don't Mix: Water and grease (oil) do not blend well together. When water is poured onto a grease fire, it sinks to the bottom of the pan where the hot oil is. As water is denser than oil, it causes the water to vaporize into steam instantly.
Rapid Expansion of Steam: The conversion of water to steam happens extremely quickly, leading to a sudden expansion in volume. This expansion creates a violent burst of steam that can propel burning oil droplets and hot grease in all directions, spreading the fire further.
Splattering Effect: The steam generated can cause the hot grease to splatter, potentially igniting nearby objects or people and causing additional fires.
Cooling Effect is Short-Lived: While water initially absorbs some heat from the fire, the effect is short-lived. As the steam rises and dissipates, the water quickly evaporates, exposing the hot grease, reigniting the fire.
Fire Triangle Disruption: To sustain a fire, three elements are needed: fuel (in this case, grease), oxygen, and heat. By throwing water on the grease fire, you introduce a fourth element, steam, which can disrupt the balance of the fire triangle and potentially lead to uncontrolled flames.
What to Do Instead:
If you encounter a grease fire, follow these steps to handle it safely:
Turn off the Heat: Immediately turn off the heat source to the pan or stove.
Cover with a Lid or Baking Sheet: If it is safe, cover the pan with a lid or a baking sheet. This action will help smother the flames by removing the oxygen supply.
Use a Fire Extinguisher: If you have a Class B fire extinguisher rated for flammable liquids and gases, use it to extinguish the fire. Aim the extinguisher at the base of the flames.
Baking Soda or Salt: If the fire is small and manageable, try using baking soda or salt to smother the flames.
Evacuate and Call for Help: If the fire becomes uncontrollable, evacuate immediately and call the fire department for assistance.
Remember, never try to extinguish a grease fire with water. It's essential to remain calm, act quickly, and use the appropriate methods to safely control and put out the fire.
More details
Oil and Water Don't Mix
Oil and water do not mix. This property is due to the difference in their molecular structures.
Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a slight positive charge at one end and a slight negative charge at the other. This polarity allows water molecules to attract each other and form hydrogen bonds, creating a cohesive and stable liquid.
On the other hand, oil is a nonpolar substance. It consists of molecules with no significant positive or negative charges. As a result, oil molecules do not form hydrogen bonds and do not have a strong attraction to water molecules.
When water and oil are combined, they will separate into distinct layers, with water at the bottom and oil floating on top. This property is the basis for various separation techniques, such as in cooking, where oil and water-based ingredients are kept separate while preparing certain dishes.
Due to the immiscibility of oil and water, it's crucial to remember that water should never be used to extinguish fires involving oil-based substances, like grease fires. Instead, appropriate fire extinguishing agents, such as baking soda, salt, or a Class B fire extinguisher, are essential to handle such fires safely. | eng | 343060da-9a26-4fd3-ab6d-b78b6b036fa8 | https://trendingnow.xyz/dont-throw-water-at-a-grease-fire-itll-make-it-much-worse/ |

Dominates Crypto Despite Minimal Utility02%) $6.13
Current Price
$26,592.14
Price as of September 23, 2023, 9:42 p.m. ET
Bitcoin started it all.
Bitcoin(BTC 0.02%) drew a lot of early attention from investors as a hedge against inflation and a means of decentralization. But is it still relevant today? In this Motley Fool Live segment from "The Virtual Opportunities Show," recorded on May 10, Fool.com contributors Jose Najarro, Travis Hoium, and Demitri Kalogeropoulos examine the real-world utility of this dominant cryptocurrencyJose Najarro: Why's Bitcoin like such a big-known name compared to all the other cryptos, even though it doesn't have, like the utility, like you mentioned with Ethereum, you can do all these things like smart contracts and stuff like that with Bitcoin, it doesn't seem like we could do that, but yeah, this is like the first name we think of when we hear of crypto.
Travis Hoium: Simply because it was first. I think Bitcoin is what started it at all. In the theories behind Bitcoin in the blockchain and decentralization was something that a lot of people bought into, and it's like you get this ball rolling and then people start trading it and then they start making money and then they think it's valuable, and when you go back to first principles, that's what I tried to do with some of these things that would be my argument for not owning Bitcoin is because I'm interested in what you can build with these things and I'm not seeing things being built on top of Bitcoin. I'm seeing them being built on Ethereum and Solana and a whole bunch of other cryptocurrencies have potential advantages there as well.
But it's always something that's evolving too. We know that Block is working on something Bitcoin-related, is that some sort rails that payments can run on, things like that maybe. One of the issues I have with that one specifically is that, it's like the arguments for Bitcoin oftentimes aren't realistic. Like, it's not really decentralized when a huge percentage of it is owned by like 20 wallets. [laughs] It's supposed to be the hedge against inflation, but we've got a ton of inflation right now, and it's dropping like a rock, so some of these things, you could say the same thing about gold though.
Jose Najarro: I think Coinbase is reporting earnings today and I think their earnings share their top three trading. I'm probably going to take a look to see if market sentiment has shifted between the coins and what are they trading at the moment.
Travis Hoium: And so what they have reported typically is transaction volume, and then I think they do transaction volume for the dollar volume of bitcoin, ethereum, and then they just have this other bucket, which would be the 200 other tokens that they do trading on. Bitcoin is typically over time, become less and less important for their trading volume, which is what we're seeing. Like as things are being built on these other blockchains and with these other cryptocurrencies, those are gaining adoption and Bitcoin is sort of losing that market-leading position. I mean that's my thesis over the long term, we'll see if that's that's what continues to play out.
Demitri Kalogeropoulos: I know Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett made some comments about Bitcoin at the recent annual meeting? Yes. [laughs] I'm looking at Motley Fool article that described this a little bit and apparently said, "even if it were offered all the bitcoin in the world for $25, he wouldn't take it."
Rachel Warren: I heard that. I was listening to that and I was like, well, OK.
Demitri Kalogeropoulos: Yes, very interesting it's got a couple of this article anyway, I will go into link it in the slider but discusses a few of the reasons that like what Travis mentioned, Bitcoin doesn't produce anything tangible. Just real quick that two, it's not actually currency, and three, he doesn't understand it and it's a good idea to not buy something you don't understand, that's always good advice.
Demitri Kalogeropoulos has positions in Berkshire Hathaway (B shares). Jose Najarro has positions in Block, Inc. and Coinbase Global, Inc. Rachel Warren has no position in any of the stocks mentioned. Travis Hoium has positions in Berkshire Hathaway (B shares), Block, Inc., Coinbase Global, Inc., Ethereum, and Solana. The Motley Fool has positions in and recommends Berkshire Hathaway (B shares), Bitcoin, Block, Inc., Coinbase Global, Inc., Ethereum, and Solana | eng | 4ed0a151-4ee7-47e4-9527-c95ada5aa2a3 | https://www.fool.com/investing/2022/05/19/why-bitcoin-dominates-crypto-despite-minimal-utili/ |

The report does, however, note that while an earlier draft of the NEP suggested spending 1.4 percent of total government expenditure on ECE universalization, the final report is silent on funding.
New Delhi: According to a report released by the Centre for Budget and Governance Accountability (CBGA) and the non-profit Save the Children foundation, India spent only 0.1 percent of its GDP on early childhood education in 2020-21. Early childhood education is the education of children aged three to six years.
The report on Cost of Universalising Early Childhood Education (ECE) in India, stated that India has the highest number of children aged 3 to 6 years, more than 9.9 crore, but it lags far behind rich countries that spend more than 0.7 percent of GDP on ECE.
What the report suggests?
Based on the report, India will spend only Rs 8,297 per child on ECE services in 2020-21. It is estimated that India will need to spend at least Rs 32,500 per child per year in anganwadi and Rs 46,000 per child per year in pre-primary to achieve ECE universalization by 2030. It also stated that this can only be accomplished if India allocates 1.5 to 2.2 percent of GDP to ECE universalization.
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 states that universal access to high-quality early childhood development, care, and education must be achieved by 2030.
The report does, however, note that while an earlier draft of the NEP suggested spending 1.4 percent of total government expenditure on ECE universalization, the final report is silent on funding.
In the report, the country's allocation to ECE, which includes both state and central government allocations, is only about 0.39 percent of the total budgetary allocation in 2020-21. It also mentions that prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the percentage of total budgetary allocation was 0.44 percent in 2018-19 and 2019-20.
Highest and lowest spenders on early childhood education
Andhra Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, and Sikkim had the highest allocation for ECE services per child showed the findings. Andhra Pradesh spent Rs 34,758 per child in 2020-21, followed by Himachal Pradesh at Rs 26,396 and Sikkim at Rs 24,026. Meanwhile, in 2020-21, Meghalaya, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh spent the least on ECE services per child. Meghalaya spent only Rs 3,792 per child, while West Bengal spent Rs 5,346 and Uttar Pradesh spent Rs 6,428.
The operational costs per child should be increased between Rs 32,5000 and Rs 50,000 per child, depending on the type of institution, in order to ensure universal access to early childhood education by 2030 shows the report. Based on a sample of 14 different ECE institutions, the study estimated that the operating costs per child in standalone anganwadi centres should be between Rs 32,529 and Rs 45,759 and between Rs 46,294 and Rs 49,159 in pre-primary sections of government schools.
Based on the report, independent pre-schools and day-care centres will need to spend between Rs 36,524 and Rs 56,328 per child for the same purpose. | eng | a3d78efb-221f-477f-947b-30ac92c06f83 | https://www.freepressjournal.in/education/india-spends-01-of-gdp-on-early-childhood-education-andhra-pradesh-highest-spender-report-2 |

"You light a fire in them," she said. "You help them grow emotionally and socially. You give kids a spring in their step when they get out of bed each morning. You give them something to look forward to after school each day award was in recognition of the local non-profit's Job Training Program, which is an after-school program for middle schoolers that focuses on developing art, computer and life skills. Susan Jenson, executive director of DAVA, accepted the national award alongside Aurora eighth-grader and job training program participant Boris Cochajil.
"It is an incredible honor to be recognized for this award, and we are proud to bring it home to our community," Jenson said in a statement. "This recognition validates our efforts over the last 20 plus years to impact the economic vitality of Aurora by engaging youth in the arts and opening their eyes to a future of possibilities."
Selected from a group of over 350 nominations and 50 finalists, DAVA was one of 12 youth development programs from around the country to be honored for the annual award.
On top of being invited to attend Monday's ceremony in Washington D.C., DAVA will also receive a $10,000 grant as well as communications and capacity-building support from the President's committee on the Arts and the Humanities more than 20 years, DAVA has offered free, after-school and summer programs to Aurora youths between the ages of 3 and 17. The non-profit focuses on providing local kids with a safe environment to develop artistic and technological skills through a variety of media.
Free for local students between the ages of 11 and 14, the job training program is held twice a week at the DAVA facility on Florence street.
"The Job Training Program goes a long way toward developing problem solvers, responsibility and team work, " Jenson told The Sentinel in September.
Currently, DAVA is displaying its "Artbots" exhibit,which features paintings and sculptures of robots, as well as fully animated ones, created by DAVA students.
The first lady presented national arts and humanities awards to 12 after-school programs from across the country and one international program in India. Some of the programs teach dance, music and graphic design.
The White House ceremony included a head-bopping musical performance from the Delta Blues Museum Arts and Education Program Band of Clarksdale, Mississippi, and remarks by Jennifer Guadalupe Gonzalez, 16, of Chicago, who explained how acting in a production at Chicago Shakespeare Theater gave her a boost in confidence.
The first lady encouraged the students to embrace their opportunities in the arts, but to also remember their education is just as important.
"Your education is critical," she told the youngsters. "Don't play around with it. It's the best investment that you'll make."
The 2014 National Arts and Humanities Youth Program Awards are hosted by the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities in partnership with three national cultural agencies | eng | 0c46ba4c-a707-481c-83c3-ef82a8a26965 | https://sentinelcolorado.com/metro/white-house-honors-aurora-youth-arts-program-colfax-dava/ |

Mr. Sarma had sparked a huge controversy earlier on Friday by claiming that Muslim vegetable sellers were raising the price of vegetables and if "Assamese people" were selling vegetables, they would never charge more to "their Assamese people".
"Who has raised the price of vegetables so much? They are the traders, who are selling vegetables at high prices," said Mr. Sarma.
'Miya', in the local language, refers to Bengali-speaking Muslims who live in Assam but are believed to have originally migrated from Bangladesh. Assam's chief minister has often criticized the Mia community as "too communal". He even suggested they were 'outsiders', accusing them of trying to distort Assamese culture and language.
"Mia traders are charging higher prices for vegetables from Assamese people in Guwahati, while the price of vegetables is lower in villages. If Assamese traders were selling vegetables today, they would never have charged higher prices from their Assamese counterparts," he added. In a BBC report.
"There is a mandali (group) in the country who will blame Miyaji even when the buffalo doesn't give milk or the hen doesn't lay eggs in their house. Perhaps they also blame Miya Bhai for their 'personal' failures," he said.
The AIMIM chief also took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying there was a deep friendship going on between the Prime Minister and foreign Muslims.
"Manage them by asking for tomatoes, spinach, potatoes, etc." He quipped, referring to the Prime Minister's recent visit to Muslim majority countries. | eng | ca813459-42f5-4b26-9db3-f303a70cd54f | https://latest-world-news.online/1-3398/ |
The Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation (WARF) is seeking commercial partners interested in developing a fertile corn line carrying genes from teosinte that could help prevent cross-pollination by genetically modified varieties.
Share:
Overview
Teosinte is a wild relative of maize that is native to Mexico and unable to grow in the United States. Although closely related, teosinte does not interbreed naturally with cultivated corn.
UW–Madison researchers previously discovered a gene cluster in teosinte that creates a genetic barrier between teosinte and corn, blocking cross-pollination (see WARF reference number P00005US). The researchers managed to breed this "cross-incompatibility" gene cluster into a corn variety, thus preventing it from being pollinated by other corn cultivars.
The teosinte gene cluster could be bred into traditional, non-genetically modified (non-GM) corn to block cross-pollination by other varieties. This would help segregate GM from non-GM corn while maintaining organic status.
The Invention
The researcher has developed a new teosinte/W22 crossed corn line. The new line shows the best fertility phenotype to date while maintaining cross-incompatibility traits.
Applications
The new corn line could be used in a crossbreeding program to create new commercially viable varieties. | eng | 926cc3f1-3967-4369-b0a0-304f4acf2862 | https://www.warf.org/technologies/summary/P140120US01/ |

Why is your Gaming Laptop Overheating, and How to fix it?
Is your gaming laptop overheating? Or are you considering getting a gaming laptop but worried about overheating during your game? That is the question that most laptop enthusiasts and gamers ask when buying or upgrading to a new laptop.
Like gaming phones and PCs, the competition among gaming laptops is also high concerning heat resistance and optimal performance. Gaming laptop issues must be addressed and resolved via quick fixes as gamers spend most of their time playing. Follow here to know why your gaming laptop overheats and find ways to fix the issue.Otherwise you can also visitlaptop repair dubai.
Besides other laptop problems, gaming laptops tend to encounter more issues due to their high intensive usage. They usually come with high processors with a crisp frame rate and graphics that create a lot of energy when running. Even though they are designed to perform high hardware-intensive tasks, overheating is a significant yet common issue.
Possible causes of laptop overheating problems
Overheating problems of gaming laptops result in a damaged system, or you have to shut down your game. Pushing the computer to perform hard while overheating is a bad idea. It could ruin the graphics card and the processor.
So, here are the few possible causes that lead to overheating issues in gaming laptops, or any computer for that matter.
The gaming laptop's hardware is incompatible or insufficient to handle the game or gaming software you want to run.
Active programs in the background add additional pressure on the CPU's performance.
The laptop's cooling system is poorly designed or not up to the mark for a gaming laptop.
The effectiveness of the laptop's thermal paste is low.
Your laptop is seated on a soft surface while playing games on it.
The laptop's software configuration may be poor, restricting the fan's spinning speed.
The laptop's air intake vents might be clogged with dust, dirt, and other particles.
The laptop fan went defective and had to be replaced.
So, these are the reasons gaming laptops get too hot when playing games continuously for a long time. Even if gaming laptops get heated over time, there is a limit to how much they should get hot.
Ideally, the average temperature of a laptop should be within the range of 30degC and 40degC. When running and loading games, the average temperature of both GPU and CPU must be between 70degC and 80degC.
You can say that any laptop or gaming laptop should stay below 80degC to run effectively. The laptop will start malfunctioning beyond that point. However, the design and intended purpose of the laptop could vary the ideal and average temperature limit.
Quick ways to troubleshoot gaming laptops from overheating
You can apply the following solutions to minimize or fix the possibility of your gaming laptop overheating issue.
Make use of cooling stands.
A cooling stand is an external tool designed for laptops. When you place the laptop on it, it will help improve the airflow reducing the smothering effect of where the laptop is seated. Some of these cooling stands now come with in-built fans that help reduce the heat faster.
Plug in your laptop to the charger.
When you use the laptop without plugging it into the charging port, they do not run at its full capacity to retain the battery. With continuous use, that would instead generate heat and damage the battery. So, using your laptop when plugged into the charge would be better. That would minimize the overheating problem.
Reboot your laptop.
Restarting the laptop to fix any error or problem is the fundamental solution that everyone follows. And it works most of the time. When you restart the laptop, all the background processes and active apps in the background are closed. That cools down the system a little bit, minimizing the heat build-up.
Close unnecessary programs running in the background.
There are a few programs and processes that run automatically during startup. They even update in the background. All of these put unwanted stress on the CPU leading to laptop overheating problems. Closing them would help minimize the adverse effects. Relieving extra stress will prevent overheating.
Go to the Task Manager of your laptop. Select all the active unnecessary programs that run in the background and force stop (close) them by clicking on the "End Task" button. Now go to the "Startup" tab and "Disable" the programs that automatically run during startup.
Reapply or replace the laptop GPU and CPU thermal paste.
Thermal paste, grease, or compound applies between the processor, graphics card, and heat spreader to fasten the heat dissipation. For better results, it can also be replaced with liquid metal.
While the thermal paste is very effective and runs for a long time, it does get ineffective over time. Follow the laptop manual before replacing or reapplying thermal paste on your laptop.
Check the laptop fan.
Laptop fans are a crucial component of a function and cooling system. If they are clean, there would be maximum airflow. Over time the fans and air vents could get dirty and clogged with dust and dirt. You should clean them to enhance the overall airflow into the laptop. That also reduces the overheating problem.
Check the fan speed.
In laptops, the speed of the fan increases as the GPU or CPU rises in temperature. If the fan speed is not increasing, the system will overheat. BIOS settings need to be adjusted to set the fan speed.
The ways to access BIOS settings vary between laptops. That could be any keys such as DEL, F1, F2, F10, or F12. You need to press them when you startup the laptop. Once you access the BIOS settings, go to the "Hardware monitor" > Fan configuration settings.
Use an integrated GPU.
Gaming laptops come with integrated graphics cards and a dedicated graphics card. Most game files run on the integrated card. But, most often, dedicated cards kick in that generate unnecessary heat. To prevent that, you can make changes to the settings. Set your gaming laptop to use the integrated GPU only for better efficiency. You can find this setting in the Control Panel > Advanced power options.
Underclock or undo the laptop overclocking.
The laptop's GPU and CPU run at a higher speed than intended when overclocking. If the cooling mechanism of the system is not correct, the extra heat will not be dissipated, resulting in overheating.
To fix this, you can set the GPU and CPU to their default settings. This solution should be applied if you use a regular laptop instead of a gaming laptop for intensive gaming.
Conclusion
It is normal for laptops to overheat. The problem arises when it surpasses the safe limit. Besides the solutions mentioned above, there could also be other underlying hardware and software problems.
If none of the resolutions work, you might as well take your laptop for repair to professionals. Anyhow, it is better to fix the overheating or other laptop problems as soon as possible to prevent irreparable damage to the system. | eng | c1f657b0-e041-4a4c-901a-18d6f2c05e05 | https://trustedwrites.com/why-is-your-gaming-laptop-overheating-and-how-to-fix-it/ |
Oat groats are a versatile ingredient that you can use in sweet or savory dishes. Their wholesome, chewy texture and nutty flavor make them a great addition to hot cereal, soup, salads, or grain bowls.
Learn how to cook oat groats with several different cooking methods, including the stovetop, Instant Pot, rice cooker, and slow cooker.
You may be wondering, 'what are oat groats'? Oat groats are whole oat kernels that have been cleaned of their inedible outer hull. They are a whole grain that is minimally processed, leaving them high in fiber, protein, and minerals.
Why This Recipe Works
You can easily scale this recipe up to make a double or triple batch. Store the cooked groatmeal in the fridge or freezer.
Whole grain oats have more fiber than rolled oats, leaving you feeling full longer.
Oat groats are versatile. Add savory or sweet toppings to make a filling breakfast, or add them to soups and stews. You can even use them like farro in a grain bowl.
From left to right: oat groats, steel-cut oats, rolled oats.
Oat Groats vs Steel Cut Oats
Steel-cut oats (sometimes called Irish oats) are whole oat groats that have been chopped into smaller pieces but not rolled or flattened like traditional oatmeal. Both steel-cut oats and whole oat groats are minimally processed, but steel-cut oats will cook quicker because they are smaller in size.
Oat Groats vs Rolled Oats
Rolled oats are more processed than oat groats, and they get steamed or soaked in water, then flattened. This process makes them cook faster, but it also removes some of the fiber and nutrition. Oat groats have a chewy texture and a nutty flavor, and more nutrition.
Ingredients Needed for Oat Groats
Here is a list of the ingredients you will need to cook oat groats. Scroll down to the printable recipe card for all the details.
Raw oat groats
Salt
Water. You can also use chicken broth or beef broth if you want to make savory oats.
Toppings and mix-ins, if desired. Fruit, nuts, honey, cream, granola, and dried fruit are great for sweet toppings. You can also top the groats with savory goodies like fried eggs, bacon, chives, cheese, or avocado.
How to Make Oat Groats
You can cook oat groats in the instant pot, slow cooker, stovetop, or even in a rice cooker. Here is a brief overview of each of the processes. For all the details, scroll down to the printable recipe card.
To cook oat groats on the stovetop, bring the oats, water, and salt to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Place the lid on the pot to reduce evaporation.
For Instant Pot oat groats, add everything to the Instant Pot, seal the lid and make sure the pressure valve is in the sealed position. Cook the oats on high pressure, then let it do a natural pressure release.
To cook oat groats in a slow cooker, add the water, salt, and groats to the inner pot, clamp the lid down and select either high or low heat.
If you have a slow cooker that automatically switches to warm, use this method to cook the oats overnight.
Making oat groats in the rice cooker is similar to making rice in the rice cooker. The appliance will automatically shut off when the groats finish cooking.
If you want a softer texture, add a bit more water and start the rice cooker again.
Tips for Success
For savory oat groats, use chicken broth instead of water.
If there is any water left in the cooking pot when the groats finish cooking, just pour the excess liquid out.
You don't need as much water if you cook the oat groats in an Instant Pot because there is very little evaporation.
You can reheat cooked oat groats in a microwave to make a simple and healthy breakfast.
Rinsing the whole oats is optional but recommended, especially if you purchase the groats from bulk food bins, as they could have debris on them.
If you presoak the oats, reduce the cooking time.
Save several portions of oat groats in the freezer if you want to. Thaw a portion of frozen oat groats in the fridge overnight, and reheat them as usual the following morning.
Frequently asked questions
Do oat groats need to be soaked?
No, you don't have to soak oats. Some people prefer to soak their groats to help them cook faster and to reduce the phytic acid. If you want to pre-soak your groats, reduce the cooking time.
What is the ratio of oat groats to water?
The ratio is 1 part oat groats to 3 parts water. However, if you cook oat groats in an Instant Pot, you only need a 1 to 2.5 ratio.
Are groats healthier than rolled oats?
Yes, whole oat groats have more nutrients because they have not been processed.

How to Cook Oat Groats
Yield: 4
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour5 minutes
Oat groats are a versatile ingredient that can be used in sweet or savory dishes. Their wholesome, chewy texture and nutty flavor make them a great addition to hot cereal, soup, salads, or grain bowls.
Ingredients
3 cups water**
1 cup whole oat groats, rinsed
1 teaspoon salt
optional toppings, see notes
Instructions
Stovetop Directions
Add the water, oat groats, and salt to a medium-sized saucepan. Bring the pot to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and place the lid on the pot.
Cook for 45 minutes for a slightly chewy texture or 60 to 70 minutes for a soft, creamy texture.
If there is any liquid left in the pot, drain it off.
Instant Pot Directions
Add 2-1/2 cups water, oat groats, and salt to the Instant Pot. Close the lid and set the valve to seal.
Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes for a slightly chewy texture or 22 minutes for a softer texture.
Let the Instant Pot do a natural pressure release for 10 minutes. Taste-test the oats to determine if you like the texture. If you prefer a softer texture, replace the lid and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes (make a note of your desired cook time for the next time you make oat groats in the Instant Pot).
If there is any liquid left, pour it out.
Slow Cooker Directions
Place the water, oat groats, and salt in a slow cooker.
Cover the pot and cook on low for 4 to 6 hours or on high for 2 to 3 hours. Slow cookers vary in temperature and timing. Check the doneness of the oats and adjust the cooking time according to your slow cooker.
Oat Groats in the Rice Cooker
If you have a smaller rice cooker, some of the liquid may foam up and bubble over as it cooks. Place the rice cooker on a plate or tray to catch any liquid that may bubble over.
Add the water, oat groats, and salt to the rice cooker.
Place the lid on the rice cooker and push the tab down to start the cooking. The tab will pop up when the oat groats are finished cooking. If your rice cooker has a timer, set the timer for 45 minutes.
Taste-test the oats. If you prefer a softer texture, add 1/2 cup of liquid and push the tab down to cook more.
Notes
It normally takes 3 cups of liquid to 1 cup of oat groats to cook whole oat groats. However, since there is little to no evaporation from the Instant Pot, you only need 2-1/2 cups of liquid if you are cooking the groats in an Instant Pot.
For savory oat groats, replace the water with chicken broth or beef broth Gooday Pat,

What does it mean to control your tongue?
Control your tongue by thinking what you want, but saying only what is appropriate. Stand by the advice, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." If you can't think of anything positive to say, then just smile politely, nod, and subtly change the subject.
What does Bible say about holding your tongue?
Proverbs 13:3; "Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin." 2. Ephesians 4:29; "Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear."
When should you hold your tongue?
If you hold your tongue, you do not say anything even though you might want to or be expected to, because it is the wrong time to say it. Douglas held his tongue, preferring not to speak out on a politically sensitive issue.
How can I improve my tongue control?
As example, you may be asked to:
Inhale and hold your breath very tightly.
Pretend to gargle while holding your tongue back as far as possible.
Pretend to yawn while holding your tongue back as far as possible.
Do a dry swallow, squeezing all of your swallowing muscles as tightly as you can.
How can I control my slip of tongue?
5 Ways To Stop Mumbling!
1 – Train your mouth muscles. One tool to speak more clearly is to train your mouth muscles so that you enunciate better.
2 – The power of intention.
3 – Practice tongue twisters.
4 – Tongue warm-ups.
5 – Use a mantra to boost your confidence.
What is the spiritual meaning of tongue?
Many Pentecostal churches encourage members to speak in tongues during prayer in order to communicate with God. Pentecostals also believe that speaking in tongues is a sign that the Holy Spirit has filled a person's body after they have been baptized and accepted Jesus Christ.
Who can control the tongue KJV?
James 3:7-12What does Proverbs say about the tongue?
Proverbs 15:4 – "A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit."
Where should you rest your tongue?
When your tongue is at rest, the tip of your tongue should touch the roof of your mouth, just behind your front teeth, as a study published in Radiology and Oncology notes. The tip of your tongue shouldn't rest low on the floor of your mouth.
Why should I hold my tongue?
Practicing proper tongue positioning can help protect teeth from shifting and can improve sleep, decrease neck and jaw pain, and reduce the number or intensity of headaches.
How do you train your tongue?
Extend your tongue to the bumpy part on the top of your mouth right behind your teeth. Then curl your tongue back toward the back of your mouth as far as possible. Hold for a few seconds. Repeat 5 times.
What is slips of the tongue examples?
It means an error in speaking in which the speaker says something unintentionally. Example of use: "Be careful talking to the police tomorrow; one slip of the tongue could get us into big trouble."
Why can't I control my tongue?
Causes. In a person with dysarthria, a nerve, brain, or muscle disorder makes it difficult to use or control the muscles of the mouth, tongue, larynx, or vocal cords. The muscles may be weak or completely paralyzed. Or, it may be hard for the muscles to work together. | eng | 07058408-c1a8-433e-8625-4b3bc22d4709 | https://eleanorrigby-movie.com/what-does-it-mean-to-control-your-tongue/ |
11 Steps on How to Start a Corporation
How to start corporation: Adam and David have spent the last few years getting their exotic spices business up and running. From salt to pepper to cumin and saffron, Adam and Dave only source from the best locales and ensure the highest quality of product. They are sure that their business stands apart from the rest, and they want to take it to the next level by forming a corporation. This is due to a few reasons. Adam has heard that becoming a corporation can lend legitimacy to a business. By adding "Inc." to their name, customers and vendors will think of them as credible. Perhaps that inherent trust will make them choose to associate with Adam and Dave versus other competitors. Dave, meanwhile, is more practical. He has heard that forming a corporation can protect founders from liability in the event of a lawsuit. Dave has a Maserati that he adores, and Adam has two young children. Neither want to lose their assets or personal savings in the event of a judgement. Adam and Dave therefore want to know how to start a corporation, hoping to take their business to the next level Let's review how to start a corporation.
1. Choosing a Business Name
When an individual sets about creating a corporation, the first step is to choose a name for the business. In most states, it is necessary to include some indication of corporate status, such as "Inc.," or "Co."
In California, no two corporations can have the same name, or one that is very similar. Therefore, when a business owner believes he or she has come up with an original name, it is good practice to do a trademark search first. This way, he or she will not infringe on any existing trademarks.
Additionally, there are some words that cannot be in a corporation's name. These words include "bank," and "insurance."
It is always possible to verify that a name is available and legal by checking with the relevant Secretary of State.
2. Registering a DBA
In some cases, a company may wish to do business under a different name than its official corporate name. The company would have to register a second name that keeps the identity of the corporation separate from the name used for business.
This second name may be known as DBA, or "doing business as." It may also be referred to as an assumed name or a trade name.
The laws regarding DBA names vary by state, so it is a good idea to check with the relevant state's Secretary of State office.
3. Appointing Directors
Typically, upon creating a corporation, an owner will appoint directors. The owner can appoint themselves as director, as well as others. A director has the following responsibilities:
Governing the corporation
Managing business and affairs
Electing officers
Attending corporate meetings
How many directors a corporate requires will depend on the specific state's laws.
4. Filing Articles of Incorporation
In order to create a corporation, a business owner will need to fill out and file Articles of Incorporation with their state's Secretary of State office. This establishes the corporation as its own legal and business entity.
Normally, Articles of Incorporation include the following:
Name and address of the corporation
Purpose of the corporation
Number and type of shares of stock to be issued
Name and address of the registered agent
What is a registered agent? This is the contact person listed for one's corporation. He or she will receive service of process notices, correspondence from government agencies, and legal documents on behalf of an owner's corporation.
Other names for Articles of Incorporation include:
Certificate of Formation
Certificate of Incorporation
5. Writing Bylaws
When an individual creates a corporation, he or she must also create corporate bylaws. These are rules that define how the corporation will be run and managed.
Bylaws usually cover topics such as:
The number and type of shares the corporation can issue
How many directors the corporation can have
Corporate procedures such as meetings and record-keeping
States do not normally require that corporations file their bylaws. That said, writing bylaws is still an important step in incorporating that should not be skipped. It may be helpful to hire a corporate lawyer to assist in writing bylaws.
6. Drafting a Shareholder Agreement
A shareholder agreement can help protect the interest of shareholders in the event of certain situations. These situations might include:
The owner's death
The owner transfers ownership of their shares
While this is not a mandatory document, it is nevertheless helpful to have.
7. Holding a Board of Directors Meeting
It is important that an owner hold a first meeting of the board of directors, regardless of how many directors the corporation has. This initial meeting is important, because it establishes the direction the company will take, offers any clarifications, and sets a precedent for how the company will be managed.
This first meeting should cover the following topics:
Corporate bylaws
Corporate officers
Issuing stock
It may also be the time to discuss whether or not the corporation should be classified as an S corporation. This decision would need the approval and vote of the board.
8. Issuing Stock
Stock is issued to help finance a corporation. Once the board of directors approves the issuance of stock at the initial board meeting, it is possible to start issuing stock to investors.
This is where bookkeeping comes in handy. With stocks, it is important for a business to record the following information:
The purchaser of the shares
How many shares were bought
How much the shares cost
When the shares were bought
Often, stock is issued in the form of a physical certificate or as digital shares.
9. Getting Business Licenses and Permits
A corporation may only start conducting business once it receives the required permits and licenses. The nature of these permits and licenses will depend on the following:
City and country laws
State and federal laws
Specific industry regulations
It is possible to check one's state requirements on the Small Business Administration website.
10. Registering the Business
A corporation will require its own specific tax ID numbers. ID numbers will likely be required from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the specific state's revenue agency.
A corporation's tax rate will depend on the state it operates in as well as the type of corporation it is.
11. Opening a Bank Account
When starting a corporation, it is necessary to open a corporate bank account. This account will be separate from those of the owners, which will help protect personal savings and funds from being lost in a lawsuit.
Depending on the bank, different documents may be required to set up the account. Examples of required documents include the following:
Corporate resolution
Articles of incorporation

Avoid applying for new credit. When you apply for new credit, your credit score can take a hit. Lenders look for signs that you'll be able to manage the extra debt responsibly, so taking on too much new debt can be a red flag.
Check for errors on your credit report. Sometimes mistakes or errors can appear on your credit report, which can drag down your score. Check your credit report and dispute any mistakes or discrepancies you might find.
There are a few steps you can take to try to increase your credit score quickly in order to buy a house:
Pay your bills on time: Payment history is the biggest factor that affects your credit score, so making sure you pay all your bills on time is important.
Pay off debt: High levels of debt can hurt your credit score, so try to pay off as much debt as possible, particularly credit card debt.
Keep balances low on credit cards: Your credit utilization ratio, which is the amount of credit you are using compared to the total amount of credit you have available, can affect your credit score. Try to keep your balances low relative to your credit limits.
Don't open new credit accounts: Every time you apply for new credit, it can have a negative impact on your credit score. Try to avoid opening new credit accounts, or at least limit the number of new accounts you open.
It's important to note that building or improving your credit takes time, so it's not something that can happen overnight. It's also worth noting that there is no magic formula for increasing your credit score quickly. The best thing you can do is to manage your credit responsibly, pay your bills on time, and try to reduce your debt. | eng | 7d59cef3-c07a-44df-a6ac-6ea9968ef932 | https://forum.getloanme.com/thread/how-do-i-increase-my-credit-score-quickly-to-buy-a |
When Was Running Invented? All You Need To Know!
When was running invented? Running is one of the oldest and most basic forms of exercise around, but it may surprise you to learn that running wasn't always as popular as it is today. If we are late for work, got to catch a cab, or rushed into the crowd, we run to get on time.
Many readers on our platform want to know the origin of running and when running was invented. The infotakeaway team gathered a lot of data and wrote it for our readers in simple terms so you can understand it within this article. Read on to learn more about when running was invented and its place in athletics through the years.
When Was Running Invented
You have watched the films where hero runs faster to catch the bad guy. You see marathon runners who run from one city to the other. Running is so popular these days. The question "when was running invented" is ambiguous to answer.
Thomas Running did not invent running. Running is inherited in humans by their ancestors. You will find one answer on an online search which is Thomas running. Thomas Running invented running in 1748 by walking twice faster.
There is no actual history or written statement that when was running invented. Everyone has their own beliefs on it. Some people say that since man was firstborn in the world. Some people will say that our ancestors discovered it with trial and error.
The majority of people say that it is a natural habit of our human body. Your body will receive a response to run if you are getting late. Anybody can run but how to run faster is a different game. You can train your body to cover more distance in a shorter time by training like marathon runners, sprinters, etc.
We will discuss the origin and history of running, like when it becomes a part of sports? How many types of running exist? Etc.
History Of Running
According to science and archaeologist, Australopithecus are ancestors of humans. The Australopithecus started to walk upright on two legs four and a half million years ago. After that, when humans started to evolve more, they developed skills like walking, crawling, and running.
Early humans practised running for hunting purposes. The hunting process is called "chase myopathy", in which humans runs along with prey until it is exhausted. With time, the human body changed and developed big knee joints muscular glutei maximi, which helps in running.
The scientist also gave comparative physiological proof of running as the natural habits of the animal kingdom in which humans also exist. Running was also used as a tradition in many areas like Greece, Egypt, Asia, etc. Running was either used as a religious ritual or tradition in the human race.
Running is also used as a sport in the origins of the Olympics. Olympics also have a major role in running, which we will discuss in later sections.
Human Race And Running
Humans are known as sapiens. But were we the sapiens from the start? No, we as humans went through many phases in the stone Age. Humans save themselves from predators and manage to run for their lives.
This is how humans developed running skills—running not only help humans to survive but also to hunt too. Running became a competition in a later era where people who ran faster were considered to be the fittest.
Other tactics humans do while hunting prey are running with their prey and hunting it down when exhausted. During the hunt, humans run for catching their prey. This is how running comes into humans.
Who Invented Running?
We have discussed running earlier that humans did not invent it; it is within human behaviour. Running was a part of human life. With the passage of time, mankind is improving its running skill by making new shoes, platforms, places, etc.
A person named Thomas Running in 1748 discovered that he could run faster if the wind was opposite to the direction he was running. He tried to put his foot twice for running. This is not authentic information that Thomas Running invented running. Running is a part of human behaviour.
Running Is Known As Symbol
Running was not only used in sports or military combat. Running is known as a symbol for many ancient societies like Mayans, Chinese, Egyptians, etc. We are going to discuss the Egyptian symbol of running.
Egyptians used to celebrate a festival known as Sed Festival or Heb Sed back in 3100 B.C. The festival was held after 30 years of Pharaoh's rule. The Heb Sed was the celebration of the completion of the successful ruling of Pharaoh's kingdom. Running was the symbol of the Heb Sed festival.
Sed festival is one of the giant festivals in Egyptian history. The Pharaoh offered to pray to their Gods, and the re-crowning ceremony was held again for Pharaoh. It states that the Pharaoh is going to rule Egypt again. During this ceremony, the central part was focused on running, which Pharaoh ran too.
Sed festival consists of four laps of running. Pharaoh will run in royal clothing in the first two laps stating that he is the king and rules the entire Egypt. The last two laps state that Egyptian society is moving from the old to the new era. Another reason why Pharaoh has to run by himself is to see if he is medically fit or not.
When Was Running Became The Part Of Sports?
Running was not known as a sport. However, a sports festival named Tailteann games used running as a sport in 600-1000 B.C. Running was also used in the Olympics, held in Olympia, Greece, in 776 B.C.
Olympics, which is also known as the religious festival of Greece, was held to honour Greek God Zeus. There were many games in the first Olympics besides foot running. There was boxing, wrestling, and chariot racing too.
The Tailteann Games
The Tailteann Games, also known as the Irish Olympics, was first exhibited in 1829 B.C. Tailteann Games were held for the memory of Irish Goddess and queen Tailtiu. Tailteann games festival also make a competitive racing competition.
There are other competitions in Tailteann games besides racing. The names of games in Tailteann games are:
High Jump
Spear Throwing
Long Jump
Sword Fighting
Archery
Chariot Racing
Boxing
When Was Running Invented As A Profession?
Running has its impact in sports but did you know that running is used as a profession in Greek messengers. In 490 B.C, there were Greek messengers known as Pheidippeides. There were Hemerodrome, who is known as a man courier. Hemerodrome was used to run for bringing things from one place to the other.
According to an account of his life and times, he ran from Athens to Sparta and back (about 150 miles), for which he received free meals for life at any temple. That's not all, though; Pheidippeides is said to have run more than 40 marathons during his lifetime (not bad). The first recorded marathon took place in 776 B.C and was won by Leonidas of Macedonia.
When Running Becomes A Part Of Olympics?
The Olympics is one of the great sports entertainment in history. Olympics first started in 776 B.C in the town of Greece "Olympia." Greece formed Olympics before the Tailteann games.
Greek introduced sports competitions in the Olympics to bring together people from different parts of the world who can unite and have fun through it. Greek arranged the first running race in Olympics in 724 B.C. The running game in Olympics was known as the "Stadion Race", in which participants had to run for 200 yards.
A stadion is a place where people are gathered just like in stadiums. The stadium originated from the stadion. The Pheidippides inspired marathon in 490 B.C. Greek introduced the marathon race in Olympics in 1896.
Types Of Running
You can run on a shorter or longer distance. You can also run faster or slower according to the rules of the running competition. In this section, we will tell you the main types of running used today.
Track Running
Track running is a type of running in which a group or individual has to run at a specific distance made in an oval running track. It has a specific distance, and it can use for sprints, long-distance, hurdling, or middle-distance running.
Road Running
Road Running is used in groups of runners. Road running is mostly used to cover distances more than 5 kilometres. This type of running includes half marathons or marathons.
Cross-Country Running
Cross-country running is a proper activity in which a group of people has to run and cover whole rough terrain. Cross-country includes water, hills, mud, grounds, woodlands, etc. The sport's purpose is to reach a destination point by crossing all the hurdles, including swimming, cycling, running, hiking, etc.
Sprints
Sprints are running in which an individual or a group of runners runs for a shorter distance with maximum impact. Sprint has three types of racing :
50 Metres Sprint
55 Metres Sprint
100 Metres Sprint
200 Metres Sprint
400 Metres Sprint
500 Metres Sprint
Sprint is the oldest running competition in which athletes runs on a short distance track or field. The first 13 Ancient Olympics Games only introduced the Stadion race, in which participants had to run from one side to the other side of the stadium. Over time, Sprint also includes the Olympics.
Sprint starts in a crouching position in starting blocks. However, the art of Sprint is gradually moving into an upright position while leaning slightly forward. During the position, athletes run faster to cover the distance in a short time. Sprints are also known as endurance running because they are made perfect with time.
Another thing you should know about Sprint is that it cannot be longer than 30 seconds. Because the human body cannot maintain top speed for more than thirty seconds because it will build lactic acids, and the legs will deprive of oxygen.
Conclusion – When Was Running Invented?
The origins of modern running can be traced back to Ancient Greece. Over time, civilizations have continued to add their unique spin on our beloved sport. So the question is, when was running invented exactly? And who do we credit with developing it as a sport? When you begin to look at these questions in detail, there's one name that jumps out: Pheidippides.
There is no exact date, or a person is known as the inventor of running. Running is human behaviour and going through ages from human ancestors. There are many formations in the running like sprints, jogging, vertical running, etc. | eng | 913b9a13-209f-4be5-9329-9fdcccf4e7f8 | https://infotakeaway.com/when-was-running-invented/ |
One of the most common signs that you need new glasses is frequent headaches. If you find yourself experiencing headaches more often, especially after reading or spending time in front of a screen, it could be due to eye strain caused by an outdated prescription. When your eyes have to work harder to focus, it can lead to tension headaches. Consulting an optometrist for an eye exam can help determine if your headaches are related to your vision and if new glasses are necessary | eng | fb24de20-d7ee-4947-8fa4-e50baa085627 | https://www.appbookmarks.com/four-signs-that-you-need-new-glasses/ |
Paul Farrell
June 2020
Professor Paul Farrell is based at Imperial College London, UK. In this interview, he tell us more about his research which focuses on the molecular biology of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and why this research is important to microbiology.
Tells us more about your research.
I work on the molecular biology of Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), particularly how natural variation of the virus genome affects its biology and its role in human diseases. Most people are infected with EBV without symptoms, but EBV also causes infectious mononucleosis (glandular fever), several types of human cancer (lymphomas and carcinomas) and may contribute to multiple sclerosis. The incidence of these EBV associated diseases varies greatly in different parts of the world.
Why is this research important?
Our work is important for understanding the disease mechanisms, new approaches to early diagnosis and treatment of the cancers, and possible immunisation to prevent disease associated with EBV. In 1981, I became involved in the first sequencing of the 172kb genome of EBV. I brought analysis of the genetic content and gene expression to the sequencing team. Since then I have spent many years working out the genetic map and functions of some of the important viral genes.
Virologists often worry about whether they are working with the right strain of their virus. It was only recently that a new technique enabled us to sequence EBV directly from clinical samples. Now we have hundreds of EBV genome sequences, and we can make mutant viruses to analyse gene functions. This has given us an understanding of geographic variation and some indications of variants that are found more frequently in the cancers.
The cancer-associated EBV variation currently points to strains that may activate the virus replication program better or to certain deletions in the viral genome, which may alter the normal control of gene expression. There are also two main types of EBV (type 1 and type 2); we know some functional differences between these, but we are now trying to understand their in vivo significance.
I think immunisation could prevent infectious mononucleosis and some of the cancers associated with EBV; our knowledge of virus variation helps the current EBV vaccine projects. The new PCR-based diagnostic tests for early stage (i.e. treatable) nasopharyngeal carcinoma and current efforts to identify novel drugs that target specific EBV proteins in EBV-associated cancers also rely on our characterisation of the virus genes.

It covers google, Instagram and Facebook and how to advertise on those platforms. These days TikTok and YouTube are two of the biggest platforms and no mention is made of them. If you are a complete beginner and have never used google or FB & Insta then this course is for you.

Content of the course is good, but information about certificate is a lie. There is no certificate. After I finished test I was redirected to page with 404 error on it and that's it. I've read other reviews and I see that many people have the same situation. To be completely honest, I don't understand why do people have to lie so blatantly, there are many free courses on Udemy without any certificate of completion and lectors don't promise any certificates in the video, they just talk about course topic. In the future I definitely won't buy anything from this Indian Institute.

I came here to understand digital marketing in a nutshell and this course serves the purpose. A crisp course and Karan Shah gave simple and easy to understand examples. He does a great job in turn, marketing and introducing his website, company and courses as well.
Time well spent!
It could have been better if there were some tutorials for free. Then i could guess if i'm understanding or not and if these paid courses are suitable for me. Hope to watch some free tutorials from Udemy. Thank You . | eng | 9075f43b-d582-4e31-a1be-2cddfee05543 | https://comidoc.net/udemy/digital-marketing-101-complete-digital-marketing-course |
Central Part of the Island
Kos Island is not only an island and coast. It's a home to a few villages located in the middle of the island such as Zia, Pyli, Zipari and Antimachia.
The island houses vineyards, farms and numerous workshops producing various goods. After tourism the second well-developed field of activity on the island is agriculture.
You can also visit many historical monuments including ruined castles, basilicas and Asklepion which is considered to be the major historical monument of the island. | eng | cfdafcd4-6cab-462e-bb0f-5ec3e36869be | https://itinerary.expert/greece/kos/the-central-part-of-the-island/ |
