Alopecia is a medical condition characterized by hair loss. It can affect both men and women, but it is more common in women. The most common type of alopecia in women is female pattern baldness, which is also known as androgenetic alopecia. This type of alopecia we see at the Hair Club in Dublin is caused by a combination of genetic and hormonal factors, and it is the most common type of hair loss in women. We have a range of wigs, hair pieces and hair toppers that will blend naturally with your own hair.
The first signs of female pattern baldness are usually thinning hair on the top of the head. This can be followed by a receding hairline, and eventually complete baldness. The rate of hair loss can vary from person to person, and it can be slow or rapid. In some cases, the hair may start to regrow after a period of time, but this is not always the case. Alopecia can be emotionally and psychologically difficult for women to cope with. It can lead to low self-esteem and feelings of insecurity. Women may also experience anxiety and depression due to their hair loss. It is important to seek help if you are struggling with the emotional effects of alopecia. There are several treatments available for alopecia in women. These include medications, topical treatments, and hair restoration surgery. The most common medications used to treat alopecia are minoxidil and finasteride.
Minoxidil is a topical solution that is applied directly to the scalp. It works by increasing blood flow to the scalp, which can promote hair growth. Finasteride is a pill that is taken orally. It works by blocking the production of... | eng | ff3c4546-1293-473d-a5c4-daf944f93938 | https://hairclub.ie/blogs/hair-club-news/tagged/alopecia |
Spinal Correction and Improve Nerve Function
CORRECTIVE CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Your brain controls every organ, cell, tissue, and system in your body. This happens via the spinal cord and the nerves that exit it. The spinal cord is housed and protected by the spine. If the spine loses its proper position (subluxation), it will cause nerve pressure and spinal cord tension. Proper function then decreases, often leading to disease and pain. Maintaining proper alignment of your spine via Chiropractic Care is vital to your health.
At Kestner Health and Wellness, we specialize in Corrective Chiropractic Care, using spinal correction to enhance and expedite the process of helping the body heal itself.

Can the authorities force you to unlock your phone?
More and more, it seems like cellular phones are a vital part of people's lives. Most of us conduct a great deal of communication, business, leisure activities and hobbies online.
Naturally, if you're arrested on suspicion of certain types of crimes, whether it's a white-collar offense or drug distribution, the authorities may be eager to get a peek at your phone's data. You're probably just as eager to keep them out of your device.
So who wins? The answer is a bit complicated
If the authority in question happens to be a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agent and you're at the airport, they have broader abilities than regular police officers and law enforcement agents.
They can force you to open your phone if it's locked with biometrics (fingerprint or facial recognition) as a matter of national security. They can also confiscate your phone if they so choose.
Until recently, local authorities and federal agents were able to force suspects to unlock their phones using biometrics, but they could not compel someone to turn over another type of passcode (like a numerical lock). Thanks to a ruling in 2019 by a Northern California judge, that is no longer the case.
The judge essentially ruled that the authorities don't have the right to force anybody to unlock their phones — whether the passcode is biometric or not. Instead, the authorities are expected to go through traditional means of gathering evidence, like a warrant or subpoena for the data.
Don't expect the police to play fair
Just the same, the police may try to pressure you into "voluntarily" unlocking your phone before or after an arrest. The wise move to make is to call an attorney immediately and refuse to answer any questions(or unlock your devices until your legal representative arrives | eng | 242d521a-7364-4f1e-a794-c828f9c5e944 | https://www.williamcausey.com/blog/2021/03/can-the-authorities-force-you-to-unlock-your-phone/ |

What is in a name? Being a parent of a gender exploring child || By Annabelle Denmark, MA, LPCC Beside some exceptions, names are gendered and reinforce the social expectation of behaviors linked to genders assigned at birth. This tradition, set through generations, wasn't questioned until recently.
As a parent, counselor, and member of our local community, I have observed a quiet cultural revolution in the way that our children explore their identity. Where 30 years ago, kids would not change their name/pronouns, or very few did, it seems that many children today are setting on a journey of identity exploration by changing their names and pronouns, exploring in ways that families are not prepared for. There is a critical difference between past cultural trends of nicknames where both names could coexist, and today's rejection of one's birth name as a "dead name." It also seems that often with a name change, the child also adopts new pronouns to facilitate their gender exploration.
From the parent's point of view
The parents' experience of their child coming out does not have a lot of research or space for conversation. Most websites and blogs I have perused talk about the experience of the child and the necessity for parents to be supportive. The content of those sites is important, but so is the parents' experience and what it means for them to go through this process with their children. I cannot speak for all parents and all experiences, I can only speak from the lens of my own experience, and what has been shared with me by clients.
When a child comes out to their parents, by sharing their need for a different name, using different pronouns, and changing their gender, parents go through stages of grief, pain, loss, and rejection that is normal and to be expected.
Dos and Don'ts
If you are a parent going through this process, here are some dos and don'ts of taking care of yourself during this transitional phase or your relationship with your child
Don't take it personally. Think of it as your child's journey and not a rejection of you.
Don't take it out on your child. Your child is not trying to hurt you. You are going through a process just as they are. When you feel angry, walk away. When you feel hurt, seek comfort with a partner or a friend.
Do tell them that you love them, and what you love about them, including parts of their new identity.
Do tell them that you will make mistakes, But that you will alway work on doing better.
Do ask your child for help on how to represent them to the outside world. When in doubt about how to address them in front of neighbors, friends, and family members, ask them, and then work out any fear.
Process your feelings away from your child. Seek therapy and/or a support group. Talk to other parents who are going through it. What you are feeling is normal, and needs to be shared with others who can help. Your child cannot and should not do that for you.
A paradigm shift
How can we, as parents, move forward with our children as they become? How can we shed an idea or belief that we have about them and stay open hearted to their experience?
We need to change our framework from clinging on to norms to opening ourselves to freedom. This freedom has been earned by our ancestors and it is now our turn to give it to our children.
Our children can receive the freedom to: Be and to become. Stumble, explore, and change their minds. Love themselves, unconditionally, as we love them
This gift of freedom comes at a cost – we have to overcome our own fear and shame of judgment, our old patterns of seeing the world as it was. We have to change. And when we do, we set ourselves free.

Welcome to the wonderful world of alpha software. :D The performance you
see for conventional MD on normal GPUs is because it follows a new code
path that has been GPU optimized, and the simulation data doesn't leave
the GPU. Not everything in NAMD works that way, and so sometimes you get
to use the old code path, where the GPU computes only some of the terms
needed, and timestep integration has to happen on the CPU. Even if you
use more than 1 CPU to help accelerate the integration steps, shuffling
data back and forth still limits simulation performance on modern
hardware. So you aren't doing anything wrong per se (you are using more
than 1 CPU, right?), but your performance is going to be much worse

Handling Disagreements and Agreements: Insights and Resources
When it comes to agreements and disagreements, understanding their significance and finding ways to effectively navigate through them is crucial. Whether it's a legal contract, a personal conflict, or a marriage vow, having a solid grasp of the underlying principles can make a world of difference. In this article, we will explore various aspects of agreements and disagreements, their meanings, and their importance in different contexts.
The Meaning of Broad Agreement
Before diving deeper, let's first understand what is meant by broad agreement meaning. It refers to a wide consensus or general consensus on a particular topic or issue. This type of agreement involves a large number of people or entities coming together to reach a common understanding or decision.
The Significance of Obligation and Contract
Now, let's explore why obligation and contract holds immense importance. Obligation and contract provide a legal framework for parties involved, ensuring that both parties fulfill their responsibilities and obligations. They are vital in establishing clear terms and conditions, protecting the rights of each party, and facilitating a smooth and fair exchange of goods, services, or other agreements.
Understanding Specific Agreements
Agreements come in various forms and serve different purposes. For instance, the IATA model fuel supply agreement sets the standards and guidelines for fuel supply in the aviation industry. This agreement ensures consistent quality, pricing, and delivery of fuel to airlines worldwide.
Another unique type of agreement is the Jewish marriage agreement. This agreement, known as a Ketubah, outlines the rights and responsibilities of each partner in a Jewish marriage. It acts as a safeguard for both parties, ensuring their needs and expectations are met throughout their union.
Focusing on the business realm, the franchise agreement template Australia provides a framework for franchisors and franchisees to establish a successful working relationship. This agreement defines the rights, obligations, and expectations of both parties, contributing to the growth and sustainability of the franchise.
In the healthcare sector, the health services collective agreement plays a vital role in ensuring fair and equitable working conditions for healthcare professionals.

Resolving Disagreements
Disagreements are an inevitable part of life, whether among classmates, friends, or colleagues. It is important to handle them with care and empathy. If you're wondering how to handle disagreements among your classmates or friends, communication, active listening, and finding common ground are key. It's essential to approach conflicts with an open mind, seeking resolution rather than escalating tensions.
Legal Understanding: Material Obligations in Contracts
When it comes to contracts, understanding the concept of material obligations is crucial. Material obligations refer to the essential or fundamental responsibilities that each party must fulfill. Failure to fulfill these obligations can result in contract breaches, legal consequences, and potential disputes. Therefore, it is important to identify and prioritize material obligations when drafting or engaging in contractual agreements.
The Importance of Master Agreements

For example, the Pickerington Local Schools master agreement provides a comprehensive framework for teachers, administrators, and school districts. This agreement covers a wide range of aspects, including salaries, benefits, job responsibilities, and more. It ensures a fair and conducive working environment, supporting educational excellence.
As we can see, agreements and disagreements are central to various aspects of life, be it legal, personal, or professional. By understanding their meanings and significance, we can navigate through conflicts and establish strong foundations for successful collaborations, relationships, and endeavors. | eng | 15dd5a7c-69a1-447c-ae20-5bb16f47a039 | https://www.giftgaemall.com/article/6195/ |
Does The Dryer Kill Dust Mites?
Dust mites are pests, parasites, insects, and terrible allergens that can cause too much trouble for asthmatic people. It is like nonstop scratching, sneezing, and coughing, which can lead to such extreme conditions. These bugs are termed "environmental allergens," which is because dust mites are everywhere and anywhere.
There is no season as to when it attacks. The mites are present all year long. No matter how clean your house is, there will always be dust mites in it. This is an allergy suffered by many all year long, so prevention of its spread is a must. With some lifestyle changes, medicine for allergies, and home cleanliness where necessary, allergies from dust mites can be contained.
These bugs are so tiny that the naked eye cannot see them. Under a microscope, though, it is visible, and it looks like an eyeless spider. It has pointy legs and what would appear as pincers. These pincers are the ones responsible for collecting dead skin cells that shed off from living things. Dust mites are scavengers. They scavenge skin because it is how they live. The problem is when these mites get into contact with a person's body. It will create allergies that can be very uncomfortable.
Dust mites do not bite. They do not have a mouth, nor do they have teeth. Instead, those pincers collect the dead skin cells, and from doing so, the dust mites release a digestive enzyme. This enzyme causes allergies to human skin.
The naked eye cannot see dust mites. These bugs are microscopic and very tiny at up to 1/3 of a millimeter only. The life span of male dust mites is at most 30 days, while the female dust mites live longer, up to three months. People get allergies from mites because of the droppings it leaves when it comes to contact with people. You will know that you have dust mites present in your home if:
You keep on sneezing.

Your throat is itchy.
Can You Get Rid Of Dust Mites?
Yes, there are many ways to get rid of dust mites. It can be done naturally, as well. Anyway, one way to get rid of dust mites is by adjusting the humidity inside your home.
Dust mites do not like dry areas and so if your home has a humidity level of less than 50%, then dust mites are less likely to stay within. But if your home's moisture level is higher than 50%, you have to expect that allergens like dust mites are lurking.
Do not put aquariums inside the house, and you can also use a machine that humidifies and disinfects air.
Does The Dryer Kill Dust Mites?
Some suggestions suggest that dust mites are killed by washing them with hot water, if possible, in a washing machine. It is recommended to wash beddings every week and to change the bed covers weekly for hygienic purposes. You can also put the beddings inside the dryer. The temperature of the dryer should be 54.4 degrees Celsius so that the dust mites will be eradicated.
Remember, dust mites cannot withstand heat. Place your beddings in a dryer with a temperature of 54.4 degrees Celsius and tumble dry for at least fifteen minutes. That should kill the mites.
Can Putting Pillows In The Dryer Kill Dust Mites?
Yes, you can do that. Putting your pillow inside the dryer once a week can eliminate dust mites. The issue is that even by doing this, dust mites will still find their way to your pillows and beddings. You may wash and dry it today, but after a few days, it will re-surface. This is the reason why you have to wash and dry your pillows, pillowcases, beddings, and even have your mattress air out because dust mites are just everywhere.
Why Can't Ordinary Washing Kill Dust Mites?
Dust mites love and thrive on high moisture levels. With ordinary washing, tap water is cold. Dust mites will not die in cold water. It will be killed on high heat and hot water washing. And so, to eliminate it, washing your beddings in hot water or using a dryer at 54.4 degrees Celsius, as stated above, will kill the dust mites.
What Laundry Detergent Kills Dust Mites?

Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCD) – Playing with heart
Many of us know about the tragic story of Wes Leonard, a student-athlete at Fennville High School outside of Detroit, who after hitting the game winning shot that ensured his basketball team's perfect season, collapsed and died. This seemingly incomprehensible twist of fate shocked family, friends, and the general community at-large. We were taken by the stories of this fine young man, the feeling of exhilaration of winning in sports, but also the suddenness in which life can be lost.
Teammates hoist Wes Leonard up after he hit the game-winning basket, March 3, 2011 as the Fennville (Mich.) Blackhawks celebrate their victory against the Bridgman Bees, bringing their record to 20-0. (AP)
In addition to this mix of emotions, what Wes's story brings to the forefront is discussion of how we can possibly do more to at least minimize the risk of this happening again. We came across an initiative that is addressing the issue of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), an initiative that could possibly be replicated around the country. What will be needed, as seen in the efforts of the Ranney School, is a multi-party approach that includes the school, parents, companies, and non-profits working together to educate upfront and be ready if a student is in need of emergency help. We are seeing such an approach employed in other areas of sport and development and are confident we will see success at Ranney and other schools and communities around the country.
To read the full release at PR Newsire, "Ranney Promotes Healthy Initiatives and State-of-the-Art Heart Screenings for Athletes,"please click here. An excerpt is included below.
Excerpt
Ranney School recently announced a series of heart-healthy initiatives that launched during American Heart Awareness Month and will continue throughout the school year. Most significant is the chance for Ranney spring varsity athletes to receive state-of-the-art cardiology screenings on campus designed to identify and evaluate dangerous heart murmurs that can lead to sudden cardiac arrest (SCD) in young athletes. Although SCD in young athletes is rare, Ranney is taking the initiative to educate its athletes and their families at a time when SCD continues to make national headlines and has caused great concern.
…
According Shant Hovnanian, Chairman of Zargis Medical Inc., Ranney is the first school to take part in the "Project HeartRox" outreach program aimed to bring this technology to thousands of schools nationwide and help eliminate SCD among athletes in our schools. "Ranney's collaboration with a local medical center, medical personnel and nonprofit health organizations is a model for other schools to follow," Hovnanian said. He also referenced the American Heart Association's 12-step screening process, which may also help reduce SCD. | eng | 2f055d81-d724-48fb-af80-706bf3121f3a | https://sportsdoinggood.com/2011/06/01/sudden-cardiac-arrest-sca-playing-with-heart/ |

15 Common Things That Weigh About 8 Ounces (oz)
There are two primary ways to measure ingredients when cooking: by weight and by volume. Most bakers will tell you that they would prefer to weigh dry ingredients because this yields an accurate measurement and is more consistent.
Weight measurements are more suitable for dry and solid ingredients; volume measurements are more suited to liquid ingredients. Converting dry ingredients from volume to weight measurements should be the first step in tackling any baking recipe. We'll assist by providing some common baking ingredients listed by weight at about 8 ounces.
Sugars
Sugar provides sweetness, and it also performs a number of interesting functions in baking. It slows down the formation of gluten in wheat flour so that the more sugar a baked good has, the softer it will be. Sugar also gives color to baked goods. Sugar also helps baked goods retain moisture which keeps it fresher longer.
1 Cup of Sugar (7 ounces)
White granulated sugar is the most common form of sugar and it's what most people will use most of the time in their homes. This is the go-to-sugar for everything from baking and desserts to sauce-making.
1 Cup of Light Brown Sugar (7.5 ounces)
Light brown sugar is a less-refined version of white granulated sugar that contains a certain amount of molasses and caramel to make it a browner shade. Light brown sugar contains less molasses and caramel than dark brown sugar.
1 Cup of Dark Brown Sugar (8.5 ounces)
Dark brown sugar is a less-refined version of white granulated sugar that contains a certain amount of molasses and caramel to make it a browner shade. Dark brown sugar contains more molasses and caramel than light brown sugar.
Shortenings
Shortening is any fat that is solid at room temperature and used in baking, this includes lard, margarine, and hydrogenated vegetable oils. It's also a cook's best tool for imparting richness and flavor in their food.
1 Cup of Butter (8 ounces)
Butter is a fat that is made from cream that's been churned into a solid state. It's versatile, reliable and can add flavor to any dish. Butter is around 80 percent fat; the rest is water and milk solids.
1 Cup of Shortening (6.75 ounces)
Shortening refers to all fat and oils. The oils are hydrogenated, so they stay semisolid at room temperature. It's 100 percent fat and shouldn't be used interchangeably with butter.
1 Cup of Vegetable Oil (6.75 ounces)
Vegetable oils are oils extracted from seeds, and may refer to vegetable fats which are liquid at room temperature and used for cooking.
1 Cup of Water (8.3 ounces)
Cooking with water is simple, but not understanding water cooking terms can be the difference between a nicely prepared dish and a ruined one. Some common cooking terms when it comes to using water includes: boiling; simmering and poaching; parboiling and blanching; reducing; and steaming.
Creams
Whether poured over a bowl of fresh strawberries or added to a sauce, cream is one of the most delicious treats and is great when added to any dish.
1 Cup of Milk (8.5 ounces)
Milk is commonly used as a beverage but is also an ingredient for a variety of recipes like cakes, bread, cookies, sauce, and pasta.
1 Cup of Buttermilk (8.5 ounces)
Buttermilk is a fermented milk product that was originally produced from the residual liquid that is left behind from churned butter that comes from cultured or fermented cream.
Buttermilk has less fat than milk, and is used in a variety of recipes like pancakes, cakes, biscuits, and cornbread. Buttermilk can also be consumed as a beverage but has a sour and acidic taste.
1 Cup of Sour Cream (8.5 ounces)
Sour cream has a fat content of 18 percent and cannot be whipped. Sour cream is used in soups, sauces and dressings, casseroles and cakes or served on vegetables.
1 Cup of half & half (8.5 ounces)
Half and half is a mixture of half cream and half milk, and is usually used in coffee. However, it can be used in place of whipping (heavy) cream in many recipes for less fat cooking and may replace whole homogenized milk in some recipes for a fuller, richer flavor.
1 Cup of heavy cream (8.1 ounces)
Heavy cream has the highest amount of milk fat and can be used as a whipping cream. It can be whipped, churned into ice cream or added to sauces and soups.
Conclusion
Weight measurements allow for the most precise measurements in baking or preparing meals. Once you've settled on a recipe you like, it's very easy to scale the recipe up or down and the result will be the same.
Try making a recipe, calling for any one of these ingredients, with the given measurement (at about 8 ounces), and you'll be able to identify the ease and consistency in maintaining a great dish regardless of the number of servings | eng | 9856c033-df22-4cb0-b095-a2fa382839d6 | https://weightofstuff.com/15-common-things-that-weigh-about-8-ounces-oz/ |

Provide your sourcing agent with a detailed brief that outlines your requirements, including the type of products you are looking for, the quantity, quality, and budget. This will help your agent to identify the right vendors that meet your needs.
Step 4: Ask your sourcing agent to source potential vendors
Ask your sourcing agent to source potential vendors that meet your requirements. They will be able to leverage their networks and experience to identify the right vendors for you. Your agent should provide you with a list of potential vendors along with their prices, product specifications, and other relevant details.
Step 5: Evaluate potential vendors
Evaluate potential vendors based on their product quality, pricing, delivery times, and other factors. Your sourcing agent can help you to negotiate with vendors and finalize orders.
By following these steps, you can work with a sourcing agent to find reliable and trustworthy home decor wholesale vendors in China. This will help you to source high-quality products at competitive prices and build a successful business.
What are the logistics methods for exporting home decor to Europe or America from China
There are different logistics methods that can be used for exporting home decor to Europe or America from China. Below are some options:
1. Air Freight: This is an efficient and fast way to transport goods from China to Europe or America. It is usually more expensive than sea freight, but it is ideal for small and light home decor products.
2. Sea Freight: This option is cheaper than air freight, but it takes longer. It is ideal for large shipments of home decor products.
3. Rail Freight: This option is becoming more popular in recent years as it offers a balance between cost and speed. Rail freight is ideal for transporting goods from inland China to Europe.
4. Courier Services: This option is suitable for small shipments of home decor products. It provides door-to-door delivery and is faster and more reliable than regular postal services.
5. Trucking Services: This option is suitable for transporting goods within China and across borders. It is ideal for shipments that require door-to-door delivery.
It is important to consider factors like delivery time, cost, and the nature of the products being shipped when deciding which logistics method to use | eng | cab9a0f5-c320-4233-9c78-96d72193c26c | https://www.sourcingagent.net/how-to-find-wholesale-home-decor-vendors-with-china-sourcing-agent/ |
Longeing: Communicate with Voice and Body
When one lunges their horse, it's essential to be constantly alert to get the most out of it. Just imagine a rider who stands passively in the centre of the riding arena, expecting the horse to exercise itself. That approach won't benefit the team much. Proper longeing is as mentally demanding for the rider as riding itself, and it's crucial to understand this if you want to reap the benefits. So, don't think of a lunge day as a day off for you. Instead, it's a day where you "ride" your horse from the ground, using your voice and body to ensure the horse moves correctly.
When you're not mounted on the horse, you need to communicate differently. Your voice becomes a crucial tool, which, unlike when you're riding, you use to give commands. Everything that your legs and seat usually do must now be taken over by, among other things, your voice.
Always use consistent words for each command, so your horse eventually understands and responds promptly. This consistency will make future longeing sessions much smoother. Whether you say "forward," "trot," or "hop on," every time you want your horse to move into a trot doesn't matter much. The key is not to use the same word when you want the horse to canter. Therefore, you might teach your horse that "trot" means to trot and "canter" means to canter. This way, you can also train it to move directly from a walk to a canter, and you can simply use a command like "forward" when you want the horse to speed up without changing its gait. Of course, teaching this to a horse is more challenging than it sounds, but with consistent use of commands, it's certainly achievable.
The same principle applies to commands that slow down the horse. For instance, if you want your horse to slow down without transitioning to a walk or trot, it's beneficial to use two distinct commands.
You might differentiate between the words "back" and "trot on." Note that the word "trot" here is used differently, as the horse should slow down, introducing a new command. It's also a good idea to elongate the "e" sound, making it "troooteee" and "backeee" and saying it in a deep tone. This approach instills calmness in the horse, helping it understand that the goal is to reduce speed. The horse, of course, doesn't grasp the actual meaning of the words but recognizes the sound's intensity, depth, and rhythm. Therefore, it's especially the tone that one should be mindful of when communicating with the horse using their voice.
Key Commands
The most crucial commands, for which you should find a unique word and appropriate tone, include:
Over time, you can undoubtedly teach your horse even more commands. The ones mentioned here are assumed to be the most basic and thus the most crucial to start with.
Communicate with the Body
Your body is also a vital communication tool when working with your horse with a lunge line between you. The significant difference compared to riding is that the lunge line, unlike reins and the rider's seat, can't tell the horse, for instance, to slow down. Along with your voice, you can use your body language on the ground to convey this. By shortening the lunge line slightly, stepping a bit towards the horse, and perhaps extending a hand or whip in front of it, you can signal the horse to halt, especially when combined with the chosen vocal command. In other words, body language can both support and amplify the voice's commands, allowing you, the lunger, to have a more substantial influence, and the horse to understand you better.
Moreover, try to move with the horse rather than standing passively in the centre. It doesn't mean you should run alongside it, but merely move in sync with it. This approach strengthens the bond between you two and makes communication easier because you get closer. One mustn't lose the strong connection with the horse just because they're not riding it.
If your horse is comfortable with a lunge whip, you can create a formation where the horse, lunge line, and whip form a triangle with the tip pointing at you. This setup can provide necessary stability, using the whip to encourage the horse forward and the lunge line to hold it back a bit. However, be aware that this makes it harder for you to use your body language and move with your horse around the circle, thus making it more challenging to achieve the closeness that ultimately enhances communication. | eng | 8d1b7393-af3b-4195-a92f-e585f0bf3a0e | https://www.malgretoutmedia.com/longeing-communicate-with-voice-and-body/ |

$26Young People and the Future of News traces the practices that are evolving as young people come to see news increasingly as something shared via social networks and social media rather than produced and circulated solely by professional news organizations. The book introduces the concept of connective journalism, clarifying the role of creating and sharing stories online as a key precursor to collective and connective political action. At the center of the story are high school students from low-income minority and immigrant communities who often feel underserved or misrepresented by mainstream media but express a strong interest in politics and their communities. Drawing on in-depth field work in three major urban areas over the course of ten years, Young People and the Future of News sheds light on how young people share news that they think others should know about, express solidarity, and bring into being new publics and counter-publics.
Examines the connections between youth identity, online storytelling, and online sharing of politically relevant news information as a precursor to collective political action
Focuses on high school students from low-income, minority and immigrant communities, who are not adequately considered in existing literature on youth and media
Debunks the popular belief that young people are politically apathetic and don't follow news, drawing on rich ethnographic data collected in three urban areas over the course of a decade to reveal how young people encounter and construct stories and political information through social media platforms
Awards
Reviews & endorsements
'Clark and Marchi take an unsparing look at how young people today are getting, creating and sharing their news by-passing traditional news organizations. It's a sobering, insightful probe into four urban communities and a cautionary tale for news organizations whose very existence depends on reaching the next generation of news consumers.'
Lulu Garcia-Navarro, Host of 'Weekend Edition Sunday', National Public Radio
'Much here will be eye-opening to those who are too quick to dismiss the political consciousness of the coming generation and the future of journalism. Rather than focusing on youth news consumption as a problem, this book shows what's working about how young people share news and information with each other and what its implications are for fostering even greater degrees of civic and political participation.'
Henry Jenkins, Co-author of By Any Media Necessary: The New Youth Activism
'In this beautifully written book, Clark and Marchi insightfully look beneath popular claims of youth apathy to reveal the multidimensionality of young Americans' engagement with the news and the potential for reconnecting them to powerful media and political processes.'
Sonia Livingstone, The London School of Economics and Political Science and author of The Class: Living and Learning in the Digital Age
'The future of democracy depends on how today's young people learn to use, share, and produce the news. Clark and Marchi offer an impressive theoretical framework and rich and insightful narratives of actual youth to diagnose the current crisis and propose solutions.'
Peter Levine, Associate Dean and Lincoln Filene Professor, Jonathan M. Tisch College of Civic Life, Tufts University, Massachusetts
'A timely and pertinent volume. If you are curious about how young people can reinvent the future of journalism, read this outstanding and insightful book.'

Work From Anywhere
What does 'Work From Anywhere' mean?
'Work from anywhere' (WFA) refers to a flexible work arrangement between an organisation and its employees that extends workers the freedom to choose where they work, regardless of their physical location.
This concept goes beyond traditional 'remote work', which might involve working from home or a specific remote location. 'Work from anywhere' means that employees are not required to tie themselves to a particular geographic location because they can perform their job duties from anywhere – their home, co-working spaces, coffee shops, different cities, or even different countries.
What are some characteristics of a WFA arrangement?
'Work from Anywhere' arrangements give workers the autonomy to choose environments that support their productivity and personal needs. As a result, they're often viewed as positive contributions to improved work-life balance and well-being.
Here are a few key characteristics a 'work from anywhere' arrangement might include.
Location independence
'Location independence' means employees can work from any location that has a computer and internet connection. This could be their home, a different city, a different country, or any place they find suitable.
WFA provides employees with the flexibility to choose the environment that suits them best for a particular day or period. They can adapt their work location to their personal preferences, time zone considerations, or other factors.
That said, location-independent workers should be mindful of their tax residency. Spending more than 6 months in a certain jurisdiction will likely result in them becoming local tax residents there, requiring them to pay local employment taxes. Both the employee and the employer should be mindful of this kind of change and how it may affect statutory salary deductions and overall employer payroll contributions.
Outcome-based focus
Rather than being tied to a specific schedule or location, WFA tends to prioritise the completion of tasks and achievement of goals. It shifts the emphasis from hours worked to outcomes produced.
On the surface, this may sound like a great setup. But it can also have its drawbacks. It's important for an employee and their employer to work together and construct outputs and expectations to ensure assigned tasks are due within a reasonable time limit, such as within regular 40 hour week, and do not require the employee to work excessive overtime.
Trust and autonomy
Trust is paramount to making a WFA arrangement successful.
Employers must trust their employees to fulfil their responsibilities regardless of their physical location and without a 'helicopter' management style like the one famously portrayed in Office Space. Meanwhile, employees must take responsibility for managing their tasks effectively and efficiently, meeting deadlines, and being available during specific hours determined by the organisation.
Documenting a WFA arrangement
'Work from anywhere' arrangements offer significant benefits in terms of flexibility and expanded talent, but it can also present challenges. Every company needs to strengthen remote bonds, prioritise asynchronous collaboration and communication, and maintain a positive company culture. Furthermore, employees working abroad must also adhere to tax residency regulations to ensure both the employer and workers are obeying the law and don't find themselves in trouble.

Boundless can help you plan and implement policies, tools, and practices to ensure the successful execution of a 'work from anywhere' strategy as you employ great workers from | eng | 6ad4de65-bf73-439c-9e7c-83e1e9c7a40c | https://boundlesshq.com/glossary/work-from-anywhere/ |

Yes, sir. Problem nine. We are on our you pack naming. Okay, so we have this molecular model in here, and we're supposed to name it. So the first up is still find the longest Jane we could find.
Okay, so just by looking at it, all right, I think this should be the longest jane in this in the structure, right? And then we'll have those. We'll have those two branch points right here, okay? And so we're gonna have to count our carbons. And we are gonna come from where the closest branch point is. So say, um, so versus left or right. It looks like the branch point the first branch point is closer to the left.
So we are gonna count, starting from the left kick. So let me raise everything we have so far and count from the left. So we have one two, three for 56 Okay, so we're only counting the carbons an hour main chain. Okay, Since we have six carbons, that's gonna have the the prefix hex right hooks. And since they're old single bonds, that's gonna be a vaccine.
Okay. And then on carbon, too. We have the ch regroup. So we have two metal, right? That's a method group. And then we have another method group on carbon three.
Right, So that's three metal. Okay, so now that we have all the information we need, you could go ahead and combine all of these information. Okay, so we're going to start with the numbers. We have two. Three.
And since we have two metal groups, that's gonna give us a dime, Ethel. Okay, Dime Ethel. So 23 dime. Ethel Hexi. Okay, so that s the name for this molecule..

splendour, magnificence. The glory of God in the writings of Moses, denotes, generally, the divine presence; as when he appeared on Mount Sinai; or, the bright cloud which declared his presence, and descended on the tabernacle of the congregation, Exodus 24:9-10; Exodus 24:16-17 . Moses, with Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy elders of Israel, went up to Mount Sinai, and "saw the glory of the Lord." Now "the glory of the Lord was, as it were, a burning fire on the mountain; and under his feet was, as it were, the brightness of the sapphire stone, resembling heaven itself in clearness." The glory of the Lord appeared to Israel in the cloud also, when he gave them manna and quails, Exodus 16:7; Exodus 16:10 . Moses having earnestly begged of God to show his glory to him, God said, "Thou canst not see my face, for there shall no man see me and live. And the Lord said, There is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: and it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in the cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by; and I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts:" (the train, the fainter rays of the glory:) "but my face shall not be seen," Exodus 33:18 . The ark of God is called the glory of Israel; and the glory of God, 1 Samuel 4:21-22; Psalms 26:8 . The priestly ornaments are called "garments of glory," Exodus 28:2; Exodus 28:40; and the sacred vessels, "vessels of glory," 1Ma_2:9; 1Ma_2:12 . Solomon "in all his glory," in all his lustre, in his richest ornaments, was not so beautifully arrayed as a lily, Matthew 6:29; Luke 12:27 . When the prophets describe the conversion of the Gentiles, they speak of the "glory of the Lord" as filling the earth; that is, his knowledge shall universally prevail, and he shall be every where worshipped and glorified. The term "glory" is used also of the Gospel dispensation by St. Paul; and to express the future felicity of the saints in heaven. When the Hebrews required an oath of any man, they said, "Give glory to God:" confess the truth, give him glory, confess that God knows the most secret thoughts, the very bottom of your hearts,
Joshua 7:19; John 9:24 .

Medha Patkar
In the choice of technologies and the priorities of goals and objectives, the preference should be given to the neediest sections, not to those who already have.
— Medha Patkar
Medha Patkar (born 1954) has been the force behind the Narmada Bachao Andolan (NBA), a massive grassroots mobilization of people against the construction of a series of dams across the Narmada river. For two decades, Medha has led the people in a struggle to win recognition for the rights of indigenous communities to their natural resources, and to establish the need for a sustainable model of development. While the Narmada question remains unresolved, Medha and her colleagues have managed to prominently pin the issue of big dams on the world map.
Medha Patkar is the face of the NBA, arguably one of the largest people's struggles worldwide. The World Bank-financed Sardar Sarovar and other big dam projects were coming up on the Narmada river about the time Medha began working in the tribal areas of Gujarat, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh. In 1985, she organized the peasants and tribals of the three states to fight for information about the Narmada Valley Development Project. The NBA stressed the government's failure to involve the local communities in decisions that affect their lives and livelihoods. As Medha and the NBA continued their work, and emerged as one of the strongest voices against this manner of insensate "development", even the World Bank was forced to undertake an unprecedented review of the Sardar Sarovar dam. The World Bank completed its review in 1991, concluding that the project had been ill-conceived.
Medha's work did not begin and end with just the protest against unplanned and unsystematic development: she worked with villagers to develop alternative sources of energy and water. Education is another area she focused on: the Reva Jeevanshala, which the NBA set up, is a network of nine residential schools in the villages across the Narmada belt in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat.
A veteran of several fasts (including a 22-day fast in 1991 which nearly killed her), monsoon satyagrahas, marches, and rallies, Medha is almost single-handedly responsible for bringing the concerns of the tribals from the Narmada valley into the living rooms of the urban elite. | eng | e4383ea3-2d4d-41d2-96ae-38e8c2da280b | https://1000peacewomen.org/en/network/1000-peacewomen/medha-patkar-1332 |

How Do I Work out the Cost of Medicare?
April 18, 2022
Many people choose to retire around the same time they start Medicare. Medicare eligibility begins at 65 for most people. However, you can qualify for Medicare earlier if you have specific disabilities. If you plan on retiring around your 65th birthday or after, you'll want to budget for the cost of Medicare. Medicare has premiums and deductibles and cost-sharing as well that you are responsible for. Assuming Medicare is free is a big mistake. Therefore, you will want to prepare ahead of time and be aware of your potential costs.
As you research Medicare, you'll likely learn that plans like Medigap and Advantage plans can help with your cost-sharing. You can visit Boomer Benefits – Medicare Advantage vs. Medicare Supplements to learn more about these options and how they will help with your Medicare costs. But what exactly are your costs with Medicare? Let's break it down.
Medicare Premiums
Medicare consists of Part A and Part B, which the federal government provides. Since there are two parts, there are two premiums. If you worked at least 40 quarters or ten years in the U.S. and paid FICA taxes, you would qualify for premium-free Part A. While you worked all those years, you were paying into Medicare and will have a $0 monthly premium for Part A. However, if you worked less than 40 quarters, you will have a premium. Depending on how many work credits you have, it could be either $274 or $499 per month.
Suppose you do not qualify for premium-free Part A, but you are married, and your spouse is at least 62 years old and has 40 work credits. In that case, you can qualify through your spouse's work history for premium-free Part A.
However, Medicare Part B is not free. Everyone pays the Part B premium, which in 2022 is $170.10 per month. If you are a higher-income earner, you can pay more for Part B than the standard $170.10. You could potentially pay as much as $578.30 if you fall in the highest income bracket. Social Security evaluates your income at the beginning of each year to determine what you will pay for Part B. They use your tax return from two years before to assess your income, so if your income has changed since then, you can appeal it.
How to Pay Your Medicare Premiums
Your Part B premium will automatically be deducted from your Social Security check each month when you start receiving Social Security benefits while enrolled in Medicare. If you are not receiving Social Security benefits and enroll in Medicare Part B, Social Security will send you a bill. Typically, that bill is a quarterly bill. However, there are ways you can pay it monthly online.
Medicare Premium Assistance
If you have a low income and qualify for Medicaid, you can receive assistance with your Part B premium. Medicaid can pay your Part B premium for you, so it doesn't hurt to apply for your state's Medicaid assistance program if you are low-income.
Medicare Deductibles and Coinsurance
When you enroll in Medicare, you will not only have to pay the monthly premium, but you will have deductibles and coinsurance. The Medicare Part A deductible in 2022 is $1,556. This deductible is per benefit period, so you could pay this more than once during the year.
The Part B deductible is an annual deductible and is $233 this year. This deductible applies to all Part B services. Once you pay that deductible, Medicare covers 80% of Part B services. You must pay the remaining 20% coinsurance, skilled nursing facility cost-sharing, and more. There is no cap on your expenses with Medicare, and therefore, it could be financially devastating. Many people will choose to enroll in a Medigap or Advantage plan to help with these costs.
Medicare Part D and Assistance
Medicare Part D is your prescription drug plan. If you have Original Medicare and a Medigap plan, you'll want a Part D drug plan to provide prescription coverage. These plans have a premium, deductible, and cost-sharing that you will pay. Depending on your income, you can qualify for Extra Help or Low-Income Subsidy, which can help lower your costs for Part D.
Summary
There are many parts and factors with Medicare. You will want to break everything down and look at your potential costs to prepare for that transition. Speaking with a licensed Medicare agent can help you explore all options and come up with estimated amounts. | eng | 3c912040-40a3-4490-9bd4-721a7a2cdf0f | https://thepayoffprinciple.com/how-do-i-work-out-the-cost-of-medicare/ |
New COVID law: schools must provide remote learning
October 2020
At the start of October, the government published a new Direction which comes into force from 22 October. The Direction states that schools will have a legal duty to provide remote education for state-funded, school-age children unable to attend school due to COVID.
This is will be relief for many Duchenne parents, and should ease much of the burden of home-schooling if children much shield. However, this Direction from the Education Secretary does not cover areas such as childcare. You can read the government's explanatory note on the direction here (PDF).
During the first lockdown the government suspended education, health and care plans (EHCPs) until the end of July. While the Department of Education has not indicated they will suspend EHCPs again, the Education Secretary can do so without parliamentary approval and without delay. However, unless that happens, it remains the duty of the local authority and any health bodies to secure or arrange the delivery of the provisions in EHCPs in the setting that the plan names. Scenarios where this is made more difficult by, for example, shielding, will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
More detail on what remote learning schools should provide can be found here.

Loose Diamonds: How to Determine Their Worth for a Successful Pawn Deal intricate process, but understanding it can lead to a successful pawn deal.
Here, we break down the key factors that affect a diamond's value and provide guidance on how to secure the best pawn deal for your precious stones. Stop by GNJ Pawn Big to get a free quote and find out how you can get cash in hand immediately.
Grasping the Four Cs
The value of a diamond is determined largely by the "Four Cs"—Carat, Cut, Clarity, and Color.
Carat: This is the measure of a diamond's weight and size. Larger diamonds are rarer and, therefore, typically more valuable.
Cut: The cut of a diamond refers to how well the diamond has been cut from its raw form. Factors such as symmetry, proportions, and the ability to reflect light determine the quality of the cut.
Clarity: This measures the presence of internal or external flaws, known as inclusions and blemishes, respectively. Diamonds with fewer flaws have higher clarity and are more valuable.
Color: Ideally, diamonds should have no color, resembling a drop of pure water. The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) grades diamond color on a scale from D (colorless) to Z (light yellow or brown).
Appraising Your Diamonds
An accurate appraisal of your loose diamonds is crucial before you approach a pawnshop. Consider seeking the services of a certified gemologist who can provide a detailed assessment. It's important to have a realistic understanding of your diamond's worth, keeping in mind that the price offered by the pawnshop will be a percentage of the appraised value, as they also need to consider their potential resale margins.
Choosing a Reputable Pawnshop
Not all pawnshops have the expertise to accurately evaluate diamonds. Seek out a reputable pawnshop that has experience dealing with loose diamonds. In Southern California, there are several pawnshops that specialize in precious stones and jewelry. Their expertise will ensure a fair evaluation of your diamonds. Visit GNJ Pawn Big or call us at (661) 224-1999 for assistance.
Navigating the Pawn Deal
In a pawn deal, you can either sell your diamonds outright or use them as collateral for a loan. If you choose the loan route, you'll have a fixed period to repay the loan (plus interest and fees) to reclaim your diamonds. Otherwise, the pawnshop is legally entitled to sell them. If you're not interested in reclaiming your diamonds, selling them outright to the pawnshop might be a better option.
Is Today the Day to Sell Your Loose Diamonds?
Loose diamonds can be a significant source of value, making them an excellent choice for a successful pawn deal. By understanding how diamonds are evaluated and the process of pawning, you can ensure you're getting the best possible deal. Remember, the aim is not just to get instant cash, but also to ensure your precious stones find a new home where their beauty and value can be truly appreciated. | eng | 48e06063-3cd6-4b5a-ad44-519664357dc8 | https://www.gnjpawnbig.com/loose-diamonds-how-to-determine-their-worth-for-a-successful-pawn-deal/ |

15 Gifts for the is grilled fish healthy Lover in Your Life
It's a good choice to eat fish that's grilled or broiled since it does not contain harmful chemicals.
While I like grilled fish, I can't say I've come across many people who do. That's the problem, I'm not a grill-guy. If you're in the market for a new fish you'll want to check out the grilled salmon, but I'd recommend checking out the broiled fish as well.
Grill fish is a great idea because it doesn't put chemicals into the water that are harmful to humans. The problem is those chemicals are the food the fish was actually grown in. A lot of people are concerned about mercury, which is a neurotoxin found in fish that can cause confusion, difficulty in speech, and difficulty in swallowing.
We actually know that grilled fish is good for humans. They say that eating the fish increases the number of vitamin C found in the fish. The problem is that there are a ton of fish on the market that are not grilled. The reason is that the fish are then raised in a environment where they are not eaten. The difference between grilled fish and non-grilled fish is that the grilled fish has chemicals in it that are harmful to humans.
There's a lot of confusion and difficulty in speech and swallowing with grilled fish. The problem is that fish are typically raised in the environment where they can't make the same mistakes as humans. So when a grilled fish is raised in the environment where it will eat a grilled fish, it will eat the grill and the grill will make mistakes.
The best way to avoid this is to buy fish that is raised where they dont make mistakes. Its much harder to make mistakes with fish raised in the environment where they dont make mistakes.
I think the most obvious example of the problem is when you overcook your food. I think this is more and more common these days. You may have a recipe that requires a certain amount of heat and a certain amount of time, but you overcook your food. When it goes into "chill" you have to use more of it and the fish you eat will have a less favorable taste.
Cooking fish can be a mistake, but overcooking it is a real problem. For example, salmon is so easily overcooked that when it is cooked properly it actually becomes a lot tastier than when it is cooked properly. This is something that happens in all fish farming operations, and the fish are raised in a factory environment that is not conducive to eating fresh fish. In fact, I think the most common source for overcooked fish is sushi restaurants.
However, as many people have pointed out, this also means that the fish is not actually safe to eat. Many people find the taste of grilled salmon to be too strong, and because of this, they are prone to eating it in large amounts. Even worse, because of this, the fish is often made up of more mercury and other toxins than regular fresh fish.
I don't have any experience with grilled fish, but it seems as though a lot of these health problems are due to the fact that the fish has not been properly cooked. Of course this leads to a lot of confusion for fish lovers out there, but it's also a major problem for anyone who is eating a lot of fish | eng | 79d1ef5a-b9ae-43cc-b123-a6096ee65c64 | https://counterstatistics.com/is-grilled-fish-healthy/ |
How to Calculate Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) in Shopify
7 minute read
Running a successful Shopify store requires more than just listing products and waiting for sales to pour in. In order to grow your business, you need to focus on acquiring new customers. However, customer acquisition isn't cheap, and it's important to understand how much money you're spending to bring in new business. That's where Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) comes in.
Understanding Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
Before we dive into how to calculate CAC for your Shopify store, let's first define what it is.
Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is the cost of acquiring a new customer for your business. This includes all of the money you spend on marketing, sales, and other expenses related to acquiring new customers.
It's important to note that CAC is not a one-time cost. Rather, it's the total cost of acquiring a customer over their lifetime with your business. This includes any ongoing marketing or advertising expenses, as well as the cost of retaining the customer through excellent customer service and other retention strategies.
Why is CAC Important for Your Shopify Store?
Understanding your CAC is crucial for making informed business decisions. If you don't know how much it costs to acquire a customer, then you won't know how much you can afford to spend on marketing and advertising.
By calculating your CAC, you'll be able to make more strategic spending decisions, and ultimately, grow your business more effectively. For example, if your CAC is high, you may need to adjust your marketing strategy to focus on more cost-effective channels. On the other hand, if your CAC is low, you may be able to invest more heavily in marketing to acquire even more customers.
Additionally, understanding your CAC can help you identify areas where you can improve your business processes to reduce costs and improve efficiency. For example, if you find that your CAC is high due to inefficient sales processes, you may be able to streamline your sales funnel to reduce costs and improve conversions.
How to Calculate CAC for Your Shopify Store
Calculating your CAC is a relatively straightforward process. Simply divide your total marketing and sales expenses for a given period by the number of new customers acquired during that same period.
For example, let's say you spent $10,000 on marketing and sales in a given month, and acquired 100 new customers during that same month. Your CAC would be $100 ($10,000 / 100 = $100).
It's important to note that your CAC will likely vary over time, depending on the effectiveness of your marketing and sales strategies, as well as other factors such as seasonality and competition.
Conclusion
Understanding your CAC is essential for making informed business decisions and growing your Shopify store effectively. By calculating your CAC and monitoring it over time, you'll be able to make more strategic spending decisions, identify areas for improvement, and ultimately, drive more revenue for your business.
Components of Customer Acquisition Cost
Customer acquisition cost (CAC) is a crucial metric for businesses to understand. It represents the total cost of acquiring a new customer, and it's important to keep this cost as low as possible to maximize profits. Now that we've defined CAC and its importance, let's break down the different components that make up your CAC.
Marketing and Advertising Expenses
Marketing and advertising expenses are costs associated with promoting your business, such as social media ads, print ads, and email marketing campaigns. These expenses are a key part of your CAC because they directly contribute to the acquisition of new customers. However, it's important to note that not all marketing and advertising efforts are created equal. Some strategies may be more effective than others, and it's important to track your return on investment (ROI) for each campaign to ensure you're getting the most bang for your buck.
For example, if you're running a social media campaign, you'll want to track metrics such as click-through rates, conversion rates, and cost per acquisition to determine if the campaign is worth the investment. By analyzing these metrics, you can make data-driven decisions about where to allocate your marketing and advertising budget.
Sales Team Expenses
If you have a sales team, their expenses (such as salaries and commissions) contribute to your CAC. This is because they are responsible for creating relationships with potential customers and convincing them to make a purchase. However, it's important to ensure that your sales team is targeting the right customers and using effective sales strategies to maximize their impact.
One way to ensure your sales team is performing at their best is to provide them with ongoing training and support. This can include sales training sessions, mentorship programs, and access to customer data and analytics. By investing in your sales team, you can increase their effectiveness and ultimately lower your CAC.
Overhead Costs
Overhead costs are expenses that are necessary to run your business but aren't directly related to acquiring new customers. For example, rent, utilities, and office supplies all fall under overhead costs. While these expenses don't directly contribute to your CAC, they can still have an impact on your overall profitability.
To minimize your overhead costs, consider implementing cost-saving measures such as energy-efficient lighting, remote work policies, and bulk purchasing of office supplies. By reducing your overhead costs, you can free up more resources to invest in customer acquisition efforts.
Discounts and Promotions
Offering discounts and promotions to new customers can be an effective way to acquire new business. However, the cost of these promotions also contributes to your CAC. It's important to carefully consider the ROI of each promotion and ensure that it's worth the investment.
One way to maximize the impact of your promotions is to target them towards specific customer segments. For example, if you're a clothing retailer, you may want to offer a discount to customers who have previously purchased from your store. By targeting your promotions towards existing customers, you can increase customer loyalty and ultimately lower your CAC.
In conclusion, understanding the components of your CAC is key to optimizing your customer acquisition strategy. By analyzing each component and identifying areas for improvement, you can lower your CAC and increase your overall profitability.
How to Calculate CAC for Your Shopify Store
Now that we've broken down the components of CAC, let's get into how to actually calculate it for your Shopify store.
Step 1: Gather Your Data
The first step in calculating your CAC is to gather all of the data you'll need. This includes your marketing and advertising expenses, sales team expenses, overhead costs, and any discounts or promotions you offered during the time period you're analyzing.
Step 2: Calculate Marketing and Advertising Costs
Add up all of the expenses you've incurred related to marketing and advertising during the time period you're analyzing. This includes things like social media ads, print ads, and email marketing campaigns.
Step 3: Calculate Sales Team Expenses
If you have a sales team, add up their expenses, including salaries and commissions.
Step 4: Calculate Overhead Costs
Add up all of your overhead costs, such as rent, utilities, and office supplies.
Step 5: Calculate Discounts and Promotions
Add up the total cost of any discounts or promotions you offered during the time period you're analyzing.
Step 6: Determine the Number of New Customers Acquired
Next, you'll need to figure out how many new customers you acquired during the time period you're analyzing. This can be done by looking at your customer data and determining which customers made their first purchase during that time period.
Step 7: Calculate Your CAC
Once you have all of the necessary data, you can calculate your CAC by dividing the total cost of acquiring new customers by the number of new customers acquired. The formula for calculating CAC is:
By following these steps, you'll be able to calculate your CAC for your Shopify store. This number will give you valuable insight into the cost of acquiring new customers and allow you to make more informed business decisions. | eng | 3a913d3c-7b35-4c75-8d6e-6272ebb97dbf | https://thoughtmetric.io/calculate/how-to-calculate-customer-acquisition-cost-cac-in-shopify |

state of the art
GDPR is coming. Rapidly, as it so happens, and at the time of writing there is just over 6 months to go until the 25th May 2018 deadline for compliance. Since the GDPR was adopted by the EU in 2016, businesses have been trying their best to understand the impending data protection regulation and, ultimately, ensure they are compliant. The GDPR is no straight-forward matter, though, as much of the phrasing is purposely vague to allow for possible technological advances, and to ensure that the regulation itself does not become obsolete in the near future. The idea is that if the GDPR specified which technologies were to be employed by a business in order to safeguard its data, it may be superseded by new technologies – thus reducing the effectiveness of the regulation. A key GDPR requirement, under Article 32, states that data controllers and processors are required to "implement appropriate technical and organizational measures" taking into account "the state of the art and the costs of implementation" and "the nature, scope, context, and purposes of the processing". But what exactly does state of the art mean?
The EU has specifically worded some GDPR requirements in a vague manner, to 'future-proof' them from technological advances | eng | 8a89053a-3868-4f26-9cb9-8b3c7e2567f5 | https://www.techguard.ie/blog/tag/state-of-the-art/ |

How to Become a Stockbroker - Everything You Need to Know!
If you're looking for a fulfilling career field that involves the stock market and Wall Street, becoming a stockbroker might be the perfect fit for you! But how to become a stockbroker? It's not as simple as watching "Boiler Room" or "Wolf of Wall Street" and then jumping into the field. There's much more to it than simply shouting on the trading floor.
A stockbroker is a professional who buys and sells securities on behalf of clients. This job entails extensive knowledge of the stock market, as well as strong communication skills and an ability to build relationships with clients. While movies like "Wild Films" may portray brokers as ruthless and cut-throat, in reality, successful brokers are those who establish trust with their clients and provide valuable advice. So, if you're interested in pursuing this career path, there are certain steps you'll need to take to get there.
What Is a Stockbroker?
A stockbroker is a professional who acts as a middleman between buyers and sellers in the stock markets. They help individuals and large institutional investors buy and sell stocks, making trades happen. When an individual or institution wants to make a trade in the stock market, they go through their broker who executes the trade on their behalf.
There are two types of stockbrokers: human brokers and discount firms. Human brokers, like those at Charles Schwab, offer advice and find clients, making trades and giving advice for a flat fee. Discount firms like Fidelity, TD Ameritrade, and E-Trade allow clients to make trades themselves online without assistance from a human broker. In either case, the job of the stockbroker is to execute orders at a specific price or order type.
The role of a stockbroker goes beyond just facilitating stock sales. They also offer investment advice to their clients and work with them to develop investment strategies that align with their financial goals. The profession requires dedication, strong communication skills, attention to detail and an ability to thrive in fast-paced environments. Becoming a successful stockbroker takes time but can be very rewarding both personally and financially for those who are dedicated to learning about the markets they serve.
Revolutionary Upgrades in the World of Brokerage
The brokerage industry has gone through significant changes in recent decades. Traditionally, stockbrokers worked on the trading room floor, shouting and gesturing to buy or sell stocks for their clients. However, technological advancements have made online trading possible, and this has led to a significant decrease in the number of brokers working on the trading room floor. Today, only 205 floor brokers work for 22 firms compared to NYSE's heyday when there were over 1,300 brokers representing 125 firms.
These upgrades have also made it easier for individuals to become stockbrokers. The need to be physically present on the trading floor has decreased; instead, most brokerage activities are now conducted online. This means that aspiring stockbrokers can work from anywhere with an internet connection. In conclusion, revolutionary upgrades in technology have transformed the brokerage industry significantly and created new opportunities for those seeking to join this exciting field.
Who Uses Stockbrokers?
Individuals who want to invest their money but don't have the time or knowledge to do it themselves turn to stockbrokers. These brokers can be human brokers, like those at Charles Schwab, or online discount brokers that allow investors to make personalized decisions. Those who have large sums of money to invest often use stockbrokers for their expertise and guidance in the market.
Exploring the Essentials of Stockbroker Licensing
Becoming a stockbroker requires obtaining certain licenses. The absolutely required license is the General Securities Representative License, or Series 7 administered by FINRA. This license enables the holder to sell virtually any individual security and packaged products basically made up of preferred stocks, options, and bonds.
In addition to the Series 7 license, those who intend to sell commodities futures, real estate, life insurance, and other financial products will also need additional licenses like Series 3 for those who aim to sell commodity futures contracts and Series 31 for those who want to sell managed futures in pooled groups. These are important licenses that cover a good portion of topics covered in the series 7 exam.
For financial representatives who prefer hourly fee structures or work with managed-money accounts, it's recommended to take the NASAA Series 63 (Uniform Securities Agent License) exam along with either Series 65 (Financial Planners) or Series 66 exams. The series 65 content focuses on investment strategies and ethical practices while the series 66 rolls both series 63 and series 65 together into one exam.
Unlock Your Potential with Online Discount Brokerages
In the world of stock trading, there are two ways to sell stocks - through a human broker or an online platform. While traditional human brokers have been around for generations, online discount brokerages have become increasingly popular in recent years. These firms offer a helpful service for people trading stocks, providing expert advice and making complicated trades happen at a fraction of the cost of a human broker.
With online stock accounts discount firms, investors can trade stocks and invest money using an easy-to-understand online platform. For instance, an average investor can purchase 20 shares in a well-known company without ever leaving their home or office. In this age of technology, the need for a human broker isn't needed as much as it once was. Instead, investors can utilize the services provided by online discount brokerages to unlock their potential in the stock market.
Frequently Asked Questions

Babylon Bee, a popular satirical website known for its humorous content, faced controversy when it was temporarily suspended from Twitter. The reasons for this suspension are not explicitly stated by Twitter, as the platform generally does not disclose specific details about individual account suspensions. However, based on similar cases and general Twitter policy, several factors may have contributed to the temporary suspension:
1. Violation of Twitter's policies: Twitter has a set of community guidelines and policies that users must adhere to. If any content posted by Babylon Bee violated these policies, such as promoting hate speech, inciting violence, or engaging in harassment, it could have led to the suspension.
2. Mistaken action by Twitter's algorithms: Twitter utilizes automated systems and algorithms to enforce its policies. Sometimes these algorithms may make mistakes and flag content that isn't actually in violation of the rules. As satire can sometimes be misconstrued, Babylon Bee's posts might have been misinterpreted by these algorithms, prompting the suspension.
3. Reports from users: Users on Twitter have the ability to report content they believe violates the platform's policies. If Babylon Bee received a large number of reports against their content, it could have triggered a suspension while Twitter reviewed the reported posts.
4. High-profile controversy or criticism: Babylon Bee, being a satirical website, often covers sensitive or politically charged topics. In some cases, high-profile controversies or criticism may have resulted in a temporary suspension as Twitter reviewed the content and evaluated its compliance with their guidelines.
It's important to note that this response is based on a hypothetical scenario and does not reflect any actual event involving Babylon Bee and Twitter. To obtain accurate information about such incidents, it's always best to refer to official statements from the parties involved or trusted media sources.
Video Tutorial: What celebrities are banned from twitter?
Does twitter remove inappropriate content?
Yes, Twitter does have policies and mechanisms in place to remove inappropriate content.
1. Community Guidelines: Twitter has a set of Community Guidelines that outline the expectations of user behavior on the platform. These guidelines prohibit harassment, hate speech, violence, and other forms of inappropriate content.
2. Reporting System: Twitter provides a reporting system that allows users to flag tweets, profiles, or other content they find inappropriate or violating the guidelines. Users can report tweets for various reasons such as spam, abusive behavior, or sensitive content.
3. Content Moderation: Twitter employs content moderators who review reported content and determine if it violates their guidelines. They review and remove content that is deemed to be inappropriate or in violation of the rules.
4. Automated Tools: Twitter also uses automated algorithms and tools to identify and remove content that may violate their policies. These tools can detect spam, hate speech, and other forms of inappropriate content.
5. Partnership with Government and NGOs: Twitter collaborates with government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other entities to identify and remove content related to terrorism, violence, or illegal activities.
It's important to note that Twitter's content moderation process is not perfect and may sometimes face challenges in accurately identifying inappropriate content. However, Twitter is constantly working to improve these systems and ensure a safe and respectful environment for its users.
What does Twitter do with permanently suspended accounts?
When Twitter decides to permanently suspend an account, it takes several actions regarding the suspended account. Here are the steps or actions Twitter typically takes:
1. Account Suspension: Twitter suspends an account when it violates its policies and community guidelines. This could include engaging in harassment, sharing abusive content, spreading misinformation, or participating in other prohibited activities.
2. Notification: Twitter sends an email notification to the account holder, informing them about the suspension and specifying the policy violation that led to the action.
3. Access Restriction: The account is immediately locked, preventing the account holder from accessing their profile, tweeting, or engaging in any activity on the platform.
4. Removal from Public View: The suspended account becomes inaccessible to other Twitter users. Tweets and other content from the account are hidden and no longer appear in search results or on the user's profile.
5. Enforcement Actions: Twitter may also take additional enforcement actions, such as removing specific tweets or media that violated its policies. This helps in maintaining a safe and respectful environment for its user base.
6. Appeals Process: If the account holder believes that their suspension was a mistake or wants to request reinstatement, Twitter provides an appeals process. The account holder can submit an appeal detailing their case, and Twitter reviews it to determine if the suspension should be overturned or maintained.
7. Permanent Suspension: If Twitter concludes that the account's violation is severe or repeated, it may decide to enforce a permanent suspension. In such cases, the account and its associated content will remain permanently suspended, and the account holder will lose access to it indefinitely.
It's important to note that Twitter's policies and enforcement actions may evolve over time, so staying updated with their official announcements and guidelines is crucial to understand the most accurate and current practices regarding suspended accounts.
How long does Twitter jail last?
Twitter jail, also known as a Twitter suspension or lockout, occurs when Twitter restricts a user's access to certain features or suspends their account due to violations of its rules and policies. The duration of a Twitter jail can vary depending on the type of violation committed. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Temporary suspensions: Twitter may impose temporary suspensions in cases of policy violations, such as posting spam content, engaging in abusive behavior, or violating copyright rules. The duration of these suspensions typically ranges from 12 hours to 7 days, depending on the severity of the offense.
2. Repeat offenses: If a user commits multiple violations or is repeatedly suspended, the duration of subsequent suspensions may increase. Twitter's moderation system is designed to escalate penalties for repeated rule-breaking behavior. In some cases, a suspension can last up to 30 days.
3. Appeal process: Users who believe their suspension was unjust or wish to challenge it can appeal to Twitter. The appeals process allows users to provide additional information or explain their position. While there is no set timeline for the resolution of appeals, Twitter aims to address them within a reasonable timeframe.
4. Permanent suspension: In extreme cases where a user engages in severe or repeated violations of Twitter's policies, the platform may permanently suspend their account. A permanent suspension entails a complete loss of access to the account and its contents.
It's important to note that the specifics of Twitter's policies and enforcement may evolve over time. Therefore, it's always advisable to refer to official Twitter guidelines or contact Twitter support for the most accurate and up-to-date information on suspension durations.
How do I get out of Twitter jail?
Getting out of Twitter jail refers to the situation where a user's Twitter account is temporarily suspended or restricted due to a violation of Twitter's rules and policies. Here are some steps to potentially resolve the issue and regain access to your account:
1. Understand the reason: Twitter usually provides you with a reason for the account restriction. Read the email or notification thoroughly to understand what policy or rule you violated. This will help you determine the appropriate steps to rectify the situation.
2. Acknowledge the violation: Before taking any action, it's essential to admit any wrongdoing, if applicable. Recognize the violation of Twitter's terms and policies, and accept responsibility for your actions.
3. Review Twitter rules and policies: Familiarize yourself with Twitter's rules and guidelines to prevent future violations. It's crucial to understand what behavior is allowed and what is not to avoid similar situations in the future.
4. Delete offending content: If your account was restricted due to a specific tweet or series of tweets, consider deleting the content that caused the violation. Removing the problematic material can potentially facilitate the reinstatement process.
5. Appeal the decision: Twitter usually provides an option to appeal the account suspension or restriction. Follow the provided instructions to submit an appeal. Craft a concise and sincere message, explaining the steps you have taken to understand and rectify the violation. Provide any relevant information or context that might help Twitter reconsider their decision.
6. Wait for resolution: After submitting your appeal, patiently wait for Twitter's response. The time it takes to process appeals can vary, so it's important not to repeatedly submit appeals or create new accounts, as this may further delay the resolution.
7. Contact Twitter support: If a significant amount of time has passed without any response, you can try reaching out to Twitter support through their help center or their official Twitter handle dedicated to support inquiries. Be polite and explain the situation, expressing your concern over the prolonged period of waiting.
8. Adjust behavior for the future: Once your account is reinstated, it's crucial to be mindful of Twitter's rules and policies moving forward. Pay attention to the type of content you post and engage with, ensuring compliance with the platform's guidelines to avoid future account suspensions or restrictions.
Remember, the above steps are recommendations, and individual situations may vary. Twitter's terms and policies are subject to change, so it's always a good idea to consult official resources provided by Twitter for the most up-to-date information on account suspension and restoration procedures.
Who was the first person to be permanently suspended on Twitter?
The first person to be permanently suspended on Twitter was Chris Gethard. This incident occurred on September 29, 2020. Initially, Twitter did not provide a specific reason for the suspension. However, it has been reported that Gethard's account was suspended due to multiple violations of Twitter's policies, which could include harassment, abuse, or other behavior that goes against the platform's terms of service.
It's important to note that Twitter has suspended various accounts since its inception, and other notable individuals have been permanently banned as well. The reasons for these suspensions may differ, ranging from harassment and hate speech to spreading misinformation or engaging in coordinated manipulation campaigns. However, identifying the very first individual to be banned on Twitter can sometimes be challenging due to factors such as account age, deleted accounts, or privacy concerns.
To fully grasp the context and obtain accurate and up-to-date information, it is always recommended to refer to reliable news sources or Twitter's official statements.
How many people left Twitter?
In recent years, Twitter has experienced fluctuations in its user base, and tracking the exact number of people who have left the platform can be challenging. However, there are a few factors and indicators that can provide insights into the number of people leaving Twitter:
1. Declining User Growth: One clear signal of people leaving Twitter is a slowdown in user growth. Tech analysts and industry experts closely monitor the user base growth rate reported by Twitter. If this growth rate slows down or becomes negative over time, it could indicate that people are leaving the platform.
2. User Engagement Metrics: Monitoring user engagement metrics such as daily active users (DAUs) and monthly active users (MAUs) can also provide an indication of how many people are leaving Twitter. If there is a significant decline in these metrics, it suggests that users are less interested in the platform and may be leaving.
3. Public Reports and News: Occasionally, news outlets and research firms may report on the number of people who have left Twitter. These reports may be based on surveys, user interviews, or insider information. Keeping an eye on credible sources can help provide estimates or trends regarding user departures.
4. User Sentiment: Monitoring user sentiment on social media platforms, including Twitter itself, can offer some insights into whether users are leaving or expressing dissatisfaction. Users often share their experiences, frustrations, or intentions to leave on various online forums and social media. Analyzing this sentiment can provide a qualitative perspective on the number of people leaving.
However, it's important to note that specific and up-to-date statistics on the exact number of people leaving Twitter may not always be available. Twitter's user base is dynamic, with new users joining and others leaving for various reasons. Therefore, understanding the broader trends, monitoring user growth metrics, and following credible reports and user sentiment can help gauge the number of people departing from the platform. | eng | d5e9cc40-2ef1-4ad6-a351-29886cc2ea43 | https://www.androidphonesoft.com/social/why-did-babylon-bee-get-kicked-off-twitter.html |
Where Milk Comes From i tend to rate pretty hard, so 7 is a very high rating from me. This flash needs more... voice narration, music, something. If it's meant to be educational for kids, the homoginization/bleaching process should be shown (milk doesn't go straight from a cow into a milk container).
Despite the fact that it feels like just about everything is missing from this flash, and i'm pretty sure it's going to get blammed for this reason, it's incredibly cute and short, and the flash animation is very smooth & well done. If this had a voice narration, was a little more accurate, and had some background music, i'd probably have 5/10'd it.
nice drawing quality and smooth animation, but you should also add sound effects droplet sound, milk in bucket sounds and so on, also, some sort of title page should be added. other than that, you have a fine animation ( as a sidenote though, your little carton is shaped more like a juice box, regular childeren's size milks are stubby miniature versions of regular cartons)
You are correct, it was a little boring. The animation was very smooth and clean, and I really like your style. The thing that would really improve this flash would be to add sound, and definitely make a better icon.

Muscle Cramps
by Dr. Karen LeggettDecember 18, 2019
General Information
Although of unknown cause, muscle cramps are a frequent problem in elderly patients. Cramps can occur because of electrolyte abnormalities, but more commonly an idiopathic or unexplained variety of leg cramp is the problem in older patients. These muscle spasms occur at night and awaken an individual from a sound sleep. Muscle cramps, commonly called a charley horse, may occur at any age. They often follow exercise or prolonged posture in an unusual position. Although these cramps may have a similar effect, they differ in cause from the cramps that occur in the elderly.
Important Points in Treatment One can relieve a leg cramp by standing and placing the involved muscle under some tension. The need to do this disturbs the night's sleep.
Cramps can be prevented with a nightly dose of medication. It is most common to use quinine, although other medications may be effective. Chronic use of these medications can lead to side effects, and they should be used under the direction of your physician. Physical therapy may help, particularly if you do the prescribed exercises just before bedtime.
The best management for cramps that result from metabolic abnormalities and renal disease is treatment of the underlying problem. | eng | 2d8f129c-1cd8-494b-8a1a-1862d51b6a90 | https://leggettmedical.com/blogs/quick-reads/muscle-cramps |
Description
The secret to Chris Hadfield's success and survival is an unconventional philosophy he learned at NASA: prepare for the worst and enjoy every moment of it. In his book, An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth, Chris Hadfield takes readers deep into his years of training and space exploration to show how to make the impossible possible. Through eye-opening, entertaining stories filled with the adrenaline of launch, the mesmerizing wonder of spacewalks and the measured, calm responses mandated by crises, he explains how conventional wisdom can get in the way of achievement and happiness. His own extraordinary education in space has taught him some counter-intuitive lessons: don't visualize success, do care what others think, and always sweat the small stuff. You might never be able to build a robot, pilot a spacecraft, make a music video or perform basic surgery in zero gravity like Colonel Hadfield. But his vivid and refreshing insights in this book will teach you how to think like an astronaut, and will change, completely, the way you view life on Earth especially your own. | eng | 3672dd26-c7fe-4d25-a689-13a172402381 | https://www.thebookbundle.com/products/an-astronauts-guide-to-life-on-earth-book-by-chris-hadfield |
What is the function of the right primary bronchus?
What is the function of the right primary bronchus?
The right bronchus carries air to your right lung. Your bronchi are an essential part of your respiratory system. As you breathe and your lungs expand, your bronchi distribute the air within your lung.
Where is the right primary bronchus?
right lung
The right main bronchus is wider, shorter and courses more vertically when compared to the left main bronchus 1,2. It is approximately 2.5 cm long and reaches the root of the right lung at the level of T5, lying inferolateral and posterior to the right pulmonary artery 1.
Is the right bronchus higher than left?
Bronchi. The right mainstem bronchus originates higher than the left mainstem bronchus; it is also shorter, wider, and more vertical. It measures about 2.5 cm and appears as a direct continuation of the trachea. The left mainstem bronchus is about 5 cm in length.
Is the right primary bronchus more horizontal than the left?
Gross anatomyWhy is the right bronchus wider?
Structurally similar to the trachea, the two primary bronchi are located inside the lungs. The right bronchus is slightly larger than the left one. Because of this, foreign objects breathed into the lungs often end up in the right bronchus.
Why is the right primary bronchus more prone to obstruction?
Is right bronchus shorter and wider?
The right main bronchus is wider, shorter than the left main bronchus, which is thinner and longer. The right main bronchus subdivides into three lobar bronchi, while the left main bronchus divides into two.
Why is right main bronchus shorter?
The right main bronchus has a larger diameter, is oriented more vertically, and is shorter than the left main bronchus. The practical consequence of this arrangement is that foreign bodies passing beyond the larynx will usually slip into the right lung.
Why is the right bronchus shorter and wider?
How many alveoli do humans have?
480 million
In six adult human lungs, the mean alveolar number was 480 million (range: 274-790 million; coefficient of variation: 37%). Alveolar number was closely related to total lung volume, with larger lungs having considerably more alveoli.
Which bronchi is more prone to obstruction?
right main bronchusWhy is the right bronchus larger?
Which primary bronchi is longer?
Gross anatomy.Are there two primary bronchi?
There are two primary (extrapulmonary) bronchi, the right and left main bronchi that connect the trachea to the two lungs. Right main bronchus (primary) The branch that leads to the right lung is called the right main or primary bronchus. With about 2.5 cm in length, it is shorter than the left primary bronchus.
What are primary secondary and tertiary bronchi?
Primary bronchi are located in the upper portion of the lungs, with secondary bronchi near the center of the lungs. Tertiary bronchi are located near the bottom of these organs, just above the bronchioles. No gas exchanges occur in any of the bronchi.
What is the function of the left bronchi?
Function of the Bronchi. The part of the respiratory tract entering the lungs, the right primary bronchus is responsible for making the air enter the right lung, while the left primary bronchus lets air pass to and from the left lung [16]. | eng | 37f1ece7-d3e1-4ca5-8787-da39db69b127 | https://runyoncanyon-losangeles.com/blog/what-is-the-function-of-the-right-primary-bronchus/ |

SLC 2023 Preview: Leveraging AI for a Personal Touch
Sept. 14, 2023
Artificial intelligence and vision processing creates massive amounts of data. It's what you do with the information, which can go far beyond the raw data, that can lead to lasting changes for workers.
It's not an either/or situation but a yes/and situation, says Heather Chapman and Virginia Mackay. Data helps safety professionals reach more people, and it helps them do so with more personalized feedback. Those data points can help safety professionals be more efficient and productive with their time, and it can lead to improved outcomes for individual workers, who can be told how exactly to adjust their position for fewer ergonomics injuries.
EHS Today caught up with Chapman, head of ergonomics for Soter Analytics, and Mackay, senior health and safety advisor for United Farmers of Alberta, about how data and AI-vision processing can help mitigate and prevent safety risks. They will share their experiences at the Safety Leadership Conference, which will be held September 18-20 in Orlando, Florida.
More information about the conference, including registration, can be found at Below is a preview of what to expect from Chapman and Mackay's presentation.
EHS Today: Safety often involves a personal touch, but technology can often feel impersonal. How can technology be used to support or complement what safety professionals already do, rather than take away from it?
Heather: Technology can give you all sorts of measurements and data, but it's the safety person who is actually going to use that data. They're going to make it relevant to the work that's happening and apply it to the organization. So, the technology can help give us information to make good, informed decisions about how we protect our employees. It can help to make those decisions quickly, but how we get to those decisions and actually how we act on those decisions and convey the message is where safety people need to—and must—work with the employees to get buy-in.
Mackay:Certain technology can feel intrusive and impersonal to the worker, which takes away from the personal interaction they are seeking. Technology can facilitate communication; however, it cannot replace the relationship building that HSE professionals bring to the table. HSE professionals play a crucial role in interpreting rules and ensuring that organizations comply with all current regulations and standards. This requires a deep understanding of the organization's culture, processes and goals. Technology can assist HSE professionals by processing vast amounts of data, which allows them to identify potential hazards and assess risks. By using this trending analysis and working with key stakeholders, they can stay ahead of the curve with their health and safety programs.
Heather, what's one exciting (and potentially unexpected) way you have seen safety professionals using data and AI-vision processing to improve safety?
Chapman: When the video processing was originally released, it was for ergonomic assessments, which it does a great job at that. But I've worked at some organizations in the past year where we're actually using video technology to build out job safety analyses, so essentially creating a visual job aid instead of just the ergo evals. This video processing is now part of the onboarding process and can be available on tablets at workstations to show you how to complete a job—not having to read a written instruction. Now, I just push a button and watch how the task is done. We actually filmed people at the organization doing the work, so it's recognizable by all their employees. They say, "Hey, that's our own people showing us how to do this right." That's been pretty cool to see.
Virginia, when did United Farmers of Alberta's AI-vision journey begin, and what are the company's plan for the future?

Virginia: In November 2021, there was great concern with the number of ergonomic injuries that we were experiencing at a distribution center. We have a lot of workers coming and going, and ergonomic injuries at one site were contributing to increased stats within our whole network. This is when I reached out to Heather, and we looked at what Soter Analytics had to offer. When I had done research on other devices, this is the one device that I thought would be well-received from the workers because it was a small device, and it was easy to use. When we implemented the program there, we knew we had a bit of a battle to bring down those injury rates and get people more aware of what they're lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling. Within the first six months, we started to see some real, true, amazing results.
When I look at the stats from the time we started to today, we've had reported ergonomic injuries, but they have not rated a Workers' Compensation Boards (WCB) claim. We've been able to interact differently. We use SoterTask to reenact what that worker was doing and to try and better improve that situation so we're not having another ergonomic injury in that particular area. From 2021 to now, we're only had one lost time claim at that center. It's been absolutely amazing.
Our future is to continue using this device. We are implementing it in the rest of our network throughout the field. We're getting some excellent results. We're getting some great feedback from workers. We've actually made some changes in our operations in terms of material handling and storage, which we were never aware of before. It has made us more aware of what we thought was good practice was maybe not such a good practice.
Heather, for those who already use data and AI-vision processing, can you give some ideas for how to leverage the technology further?

Chapman: Usually when an organization starts, it's in an area of the company, maybe a department or a location. So, if you're already using it, and you have figured out your best practices, the next step is to expand and create this wider net of users so you can have a bigger impact with more people participating. Get departments outside of safety using the technology. For example, engineers can use the technology before purchasing new equipment or tools to evaluate how an employee's ergonomic conditions will be impacted.
The other thing I see some people struggle with is this does generate a lot of data. It's a hurdle to figure out what you should do with that data and then act on it. It's not practical for us to think that our production or maintenance or engineering departments are going to be logging into the dashboard to see what's going on. It's far easier if we just provide them with a weekly summary report to say "Look, within your group, here's what's happening. You may want to touch base with these people to see why aren't hazards reducing." It gets them involved, and it gives other people outside of the safety group visibility to what's going on and how they can actually take part in the process.
If the technology is used across multiple sites, meet with the site safety leaders monthly. Whether that's in person or remote, it's getting some people with real ownership within the organization engaged in the process, even if it's a 15-minute meeting to let your vice president know, "In the last month, here's what we've experienced. These are the pros, these are the cons, here's what we've learned." Summarize the information, so they feel connected to the program.
Share results often. As safety people, we're in the dashboard, we're seeing what's happening and we're seeing the good news but how does this actually impact employees? I think it's really important that visually there's something available for employees to see what's happening, what's going on. Because ultimately, we talked about trust already, but employees and leaders will be more engaged if they understand that the technology is helping to make the workplace safer. People want to see how technology is impacting their job. If you can visually show how it can actually help them, that makes them want to participate in this type of program.
Virginia, what's something you were surprised by on your implementation journey?
Mackay:We make it voluntary for workers to be part of the program. I was surprised about how many people wanted to wear the device and see where they're at. We actually got to a point at one location where we had to keep that box there a little longer because people were upset. They said, "It's my turn now." It's become quite the challenge, because they're competing against each other about who's going to be the best in ergonomics. They said they couldn't even tell they were wearing it; they loved that. I was a little surprised about that—and just how easy it is to use and implement the program.
Heather, for those looking to implement such technology, what are some aspects to consider and plan for in the short-, medium- and long-term?
Chapman: In the short-term, organizations really need to consider how they want to use this technology and what's their reason for pursuing this type of technology. For many, it's simply, "I want to reduce injuries." For others, it's part of our onboarding; it's going to be part of our training program. You need to understand your reasons why you want to use this, then its setting goals and expectations and assuring you have budget to do this type of program. It's not something that's a two-month deal. If you really want to make an impact and have long-term gains, it's at least a year, if not longer, commitment. We usually tell the organizations we work with you need a minimum of six weeks ahead of your launch to socialize the idea and just getting people onboarded to the whole process and the rationale behind the why.
Then, in the mid-term, look at how you're going to train others. If you have a union committee, a safety committee or an ergonomics committee, I recommend training them and helping them own part of this program with you. That gets their participation and their input. Also, if you have your employees helping to run this program, what better message to the other employees that you're trying to market to and get to participate. And just having other people help you as the safety person helps leverage your time.
Usually, when people start, it's a site or a division. But, in theory, this should be considered as part of enterprise risk management for your entire operations, whether it's nationally or globally. How does this play a role into all of these different divisions and into other departments? You get a ton of information about people's hazardous movements from this type of technology. Why not build that into your human resources job descriptions? If you have physical demand analyses, this should be integrated into that. And then building it into existing systems, so if you have an early intervention program, a return to work, job safety analyses, etc. In the long-term, you want to embed this type of technology into existing systems so that it's part of your normal operation.
In an ideal world, everyone would see the data, agree with the findings and allocate adequate budget for safety. Unfortunately, that doesn't always happen. Do you have any advice for safety professionals that are trying to use safety technologies to improve or for someone who has that hard data but still doesn't get buy-in?
Chapman: I think a big piece of this is organizational culture but also drilling down into the safety climate of an organization. You may have the hard data and the business case to say "Look, based on this type of work, we're experiencing these injuries, and we think, because we've gone in with video processing and done some analysis, that if we spent $30,000 on this new engineering control, we're going to reduce injuries." If the culture isn't there, the answer could very well be, "No thanks, we're not going to do that. We don't have budget allocated for that."
The other thing is, let's just say the culture is good, but the wearable technology is a stop gap for you. Maybe the solution you want to deploy ultimately is a six-figure solution, and it's gonna take some capital funding and it's not happening until next fiscal year. OK. Well, your stop gap is this wearable technology that coaches you into better body mechanics. So hopefully, overall, you're reducing risk and people are learning and changing behaviors and it buys you time until you can actually implement a correct strategy.
Mackay:I would have to agree with Heather on that. It's all about where your company is and about the culture you have currently that's going to determine how successful you're going to be with the program. If I look back at UFA, say eight to 10 years ago, our culture was not there. We would never have the buy-in to look at this, so I feel blessed that now have a great culture at, and we have the buy-in from the top. They strongly believe in safety, and they do whatever they can to improve safety at all of our locations, whether it be at a distribution center or our retail stores.
Virginia, what are some of the outcomes you are most proud of? What still eludes you?
Mackay:I would have to say the thing that I'm most proud of is the results that we're getting. Our WCB ergonomic claims have gone down—and how easy that was just by using one small little device. I mean, who knew! I'm proud of our workers who have volunteered to be in the program. The feedback that we're getting from them helps us improve the program and how we're implementing it. Looking back from the time we first started until now, the way we implement the program is very, very different. It's because we've had that good feedback.
What still eludes me sometimes is trying to get some of the workers to accept this AI technology. They're always so suspicious of what you're up to when you're gathering all this data. One common concern is if I have a WCB claim, will this be held against me because I wore that device? No, but hose are the things that we still have to address fully. Other than that, we have more success than challenges when it comes to this program.
I imagine that's pretty similar to what you've seen, Heather?
Chapman: Absolutely. Most people end up being quite proud of a reduction in injuries, which generally means a reduction in your workers' compensation costs. And to Virginia's point about full acceptance of AI, I think, across the board, every organization struggles with that, whether its wearable AI technology for ergonomics or if it's getting used for something else, whether for productivity or in your trucks. People aren't fully accepting of that yet. They feel like they're being watched, so overcoming that is likely a challenge everywhere for everybody.
What advice do you have for those on their data vision and injury prevention journey?
Chapman: If you're considering going down the path of wearable technology or video processing, you need to know your audience. Are they going to accept this type of technology? How do I need to propose this to them? How you speak to a union committee is going to be very different from how you would approach your CFO. So, knowing your audience and anticipating their questions and being prepared to answer those up front. They need to feel confident that you fully understand the technology, and its capabilities and limitations. You need to be able to alleviate concerns that people might have. Often, that comes in the form of in-person meetings, letting people ask you those questions and being able to answer those. And then just sharing and communicating what are our use cases: why are we going to use this, how are we going to use this, and why is this beneficial to you.
Mackay: My biggest thing is to do your homework. You need to pick the right technology for your organization. Start by defining your company's health and safety problems and which technologies would be most effective for you. When it comes to any kind of program, whether it be AI technology or any other program, you've got to spend the time to introduce that program and do it well. Workers always need to know ahead of time what's coming at them, so they have the time to absorb that information, ask the questions that they need to ask before you actually implement the program; that was, for us, key in terms of our success. We did spend time with the workers introducing what we were looking at implementing at each of those locations.
And then, once you've gathered all your data, especially when the workers have taken the time to volunteer to wear the device, they need to see that report. They need to see how well they did. They need that feedback of: This is where you were at the beginning of the program, and this is where you are right now at the end of the program. The only way that they can improve is by listening to those alerts from that device and the coaching from their supervisors. Or, if they didn't improve, what can we do to help them, and this data will help us help them. We even look at the operations, so if they didn't improve, what area do they work in? We can onw determine where we need to make a change operationally because this worker's task didn't improve. That's what I would say is just gather the data and validate where they're at. Feedback is pretty key.
One more important thing is to have your champions. We're developing champions at each of our locations because I'm not always available. I spend more time with them with how the program works and how they can further coach the workers. They do involve me from time to time when they're struggling with something and then we actually brainstorm and come up with ideas together on how we can make a change.
What's one thing you hope attendees learn from your session at the Safety Leadership Conference?
Mackay: AI technology can elevate your existing programs and move your safety culture. It will enhance your program, and it'll actually make you more aware of some of the challenges you might be having within your company that you don't typically see, but you can see it in your stats.
Wearable devices can also help your new employees to develop those correct behaviors, and we've seen that at our distribution center. They start developing good behaviors right off the start before…it's being proactive, is what it is. And it makes your existing employees more aware of some of the harmful habits that they have developed that they were not aware of. Everyone thinks that they're good at lifting, carrying, pushing and pulling—and that they're doing it right—but when you wear that device, it will tell you that maybe you're not as good as you think you are. Maybe you're complacent at some of those things that you're doing. If anything, it's going to address some of that complacency.
Chapman: I like to just give people practical steps that they can take. None of this technology is new anymore. It's been around for years, so we all know it's there and we basically know how it works. But I think it's important, and what I hope people will see in the session, is how you can integrate this into your existing systems. How you could use this because there's so many use cases and, to Virginia's point, how you can enhance your existing safety culture and programs. | eng | c95b6e28-05ac-4bb2-9635-2c473d1bc57f | https://www.ehstoday.com/safety-leadership-conference/article/21273589/slc-2023-preview-leveraging-ai-for-a-personal-touch |
Pocket Prairie Walk
Did you know a prairie can grow in a parking lot? Southeastern native prairie plants can be an attractive, low-maintenance alternative to sod in underutilized urban areas such as parking lots. Additionally, unlike sod, these pocket prairies can also be beneficial to pollinators such a birds and butterflies. Visit a Duke Gardens pocket prairie project in a nearby parking lot for a show and tell demonstration from Maegan Luckett, horticulturist of the Blomquist Garden of Native Plants at Duke Gardens on how the ecological benefits of prairies can coexist with a built environment. You'll leave with a plant list and an appreciation for the power of prairie plants.

MISUSE OF FIRE
18 February 2019
On Saturday, 16 February 2019, St Helena Police responded to an incident where a number of children had lit a fire close to the Fire Station building at Ladder Hill.
On arrival at the scene it was noted that two separate fires had been lit – one in a disused building, and another at the base of a tree near the rear of the garage used to house the Fire Service vehicles and equipment.
A member of the Fire Service attended immediately and made sure that the fires were fully extinguished and that there were no further risks.
The implications of this sort of activity are extremely serious. With the amount of dried vegetation in the immediate area, the resulting consequences could have been severe.
Not only were the Fire Service vehicles and equipment, essential for maintaining community safety, subject to potential damage, but the children themselves, other members of the public, or even Fire Service personnel could have been seriously injured attempting to extinguish a deliberate fire.
The Police Directorate encourages all parents and guardians to explain to their children the very real risks associated with fire and warn them against this dangerous activity. | eng | 7e47bb25-b356-4760-a6b8-6770e6353044 | https://www.sainthelena.gov.sh/2019/public-announcements/misuse-of-fire/ |

Why Cities in the Middle East Need More Trees?
In 2016, The Nature Conservancy, one of the largest environmental NGOs in the United States, released a report entitled "Planting Healthy Air" that examines the role planting trees in urban areas plays in reducing pollution and extreme heat. As the report indicates, the population of city dwellers globally is increasing, as is the number of deaths associated with exposure to pollution and intense heat waves. The authors of the report argue that urban forestation projects are one of the most cost effective means to reduce particulate matter in the air and cool temperatures in the world's largest cities.
Urban forestation projects in the Middle East are an inexpensive and effective way of reducing air pollution, lowering temperatures by producing shade, improving health, and even raising property values. The return on investment (ROI) for tree planting is often more financially beneficial than other more costly investments, but ROI projections fluctuate when measuring effects in different neighborhoods. In general, the more densely populated, polluted, and hot a neighborhood is, the higher the return on investment tree planting will be.
For this reason, it is understandable why major cities in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region are predicted to have a high return on investment for both reducing particulate matter in the air and mitigating heat waves. Some cities mentioned to have the highest return on investment in the region are Cairo, Beirut, Damascus, Rabat, Sanaa, and Baghdad. Other cities like Amman and Tripoli are mentioned to have a high ROI for reducing pollution but not lessening extreme urban heat.
Tree Planting Projects in MENA Region
Since this report five years ago, many MENA cities have initiated tree planting programs. In Beirut, AMWAJ began the Beirut River Forest and Green Cedar Lebanon agreed on a program with the city's municipal government to plant over 10,000 trees in 10 years. Despite these apparent victories for Beirut's urban canopy, the city destroyed the Mufti Hassan Khaled Garden in 2019, replacing it with a parking lot. One of the most ambitious urban planting projects in the Middle East is Saudi Arabia's Riyadh Green plan. The initiative intends to plant seven and a half million trees in the Saudi capital as part of the country's Vision 2030 plan. Other Middle Eastern planting efforts such as Jordan's Green Amman 2020 Project and Qatar's Plant Million Trees initiative will benefit the environment despite their cities having a lower comparative ROI.
These tree planting projects listed above are by no means the entirety of green initiatives in the MENA region, but many national projects do not directly benefit urban forestation. Morocco, for example, announced its Forests of Morocco 2020-2030 project to grow 600,000 hectares of dense tree cover around the country. Algeria, Tunisia, and Oman are also investing in large tree planting projects across their territories.
These initiatives intend to plant trees to prevent desertification and replace previously existing forests far from urban centers. While such projects are vital to slow desertification and reduce particulate matter from sand, they do not directly benefit city residents in the same manner as urban planting.
Benefits of Urban Forestation
The range that a single fully grown tree can filter air is approximately 15-30 meters. The greater concentration of trees in any given area, such as a city park, the more particulates the trees will filter. Similarly, urban design such as tree lined streets reduce a greater amount of pollution as the airborne particulate matter is filtered by multiple trees as wind carries the pollution down the road. Research from The Nature Conservancy's report indicates that a tree lined street can reduce particulate matter in surrounding buildings by up to 50%.
Higher density tree planting also casts more shade and absorbs more sunlight which in turn lowers nearby temperatures. As climate change causes temperatures to rise in the already hot climates of the MENA region, efforts to cool urban centers such as tree planting are both cost-effective and reduce electricity usage for air conditioning.
Challenges in the Middle East
In many Middle Eastern cities, urban tree planting offers a large return on investment when factoring in health benefits as a result of more tree cover. What is more difficult than financing the projects is motivating local governments to prioritize urban tree planting over other development opportunities. Cities in the MENA region must proactively set aside land to invest in urban forestation rather than develop the area for commercial or residential use. Municipal governments also must research which species of trees to plant due to the limited water access in many Middle Eastern cities.
Almost every city in the MENA region listed by The Nature Conservancy's report to highly benefit from urban tree planting are situated in arid environments. The report advises city administrators in arid regions to consider which trees are best to plant and if additional irrigation infrastructure must be built to ensure the trees' survival.
While urban forestation is a useful tool to build healthier cities, governments must couple it with other environmental strategies. Cairo, for example, began a green roof initiative along with street level tree planting to reduce particulate matter in one of the Middle East's most polluted and congested cities. Inhabitants of cities across the region must request, advertise, and support local initiatives to produce more sustainable environments.
These solutions do not need to be expensive or crippling to the local economy. The Nature Conservancy report suggests that investments of as low as $4 per resident in tree planting projects can dramatically reduce temperatures and filter pollutants from local air. As the MENA region moves their economies away from fossil fuels towards more sustainable energy, we must monitor their developments at the local level to promote environmentally friendly growth.

There are two basic types of dental emergencies: that can be treated and even prevented altogether with early detection. Conditions like gum abscesses, pulpal assesses, infections, cracked teeth, and inflammations can often be prevented by visiting your dentist on a regular basis.
Undoubtedly the best way to prevent these types of common dental emergencies is to ensure that your teeth are in good condition, to begin with. You can do this by practising proper oral hygiene habits and getting your teeth professionally cleaned every six months.
Although many dental emergencies in the first category can be prevented, the second category is a little bit more difficult to see coming. This is because they are dental emergencies resulting from accidents or injuries. That being said, there are some things that you can do to avoid injury or at least reduce the impact of injuries when accidents do occur.
PREVENTING ACCIDENT-RELATED DENTAL EMERGENCIES
In the case of an accident, the most common dental emergencies are trauma to the tooth and chipping and breaking of teeth. There are a few simple things that you can do to avoid damaging or minimizing the injury when in an accident. Let's take a look.
Safety tips for adults
If your teeth are weak or you've recently had a filling put in or a root canal treatment performed, you're more prone to damaging your teeth by chewing hard objects. Ice, popcorn kernels, and even candy can do some serious damage if you aren't careful. It's best to avoid chewing or biting them completely. A lot of people also have a habit of using their teeth to cut tape or thread. This is a bad habit and can damage your teeth. Spare yourself the trouble of tooth damage and go look for a pair of scissors.
If you play sports, it's important for you to take measures to protect your teeth. Mouthguards are highly recommended by dental professionals to prevent or at least minimize dental injury. Get a mouthguard that fits well so that you aren't as likely to hurt your teeth while enjoying your afternoon playing rugby.
Safety tips for kids
If you have children, you have an obligation as their parent to teach them how to take care of their teeth. Chances are you've helped them brush and clean their teeth and encourage them to eat well. When it comes to preventing common accident-related dental emergencies, however, you may have to do a little bit more.
Babies like putting things into their mouths. Make sure that their teething toys are soft and safe to chew and that they aren't putting dangerous hard objects into their mouth, particularly if they're a choking hazard. After a trip or a fall, check your child's teeth to make sure everything is alright. Keep an eye out for loose teeth, breaks, cracks or even those missing entirely. Addressing such problems early on will prevent more serious situations later.
If you have an older child who enjoys contact sports, it's highly recommended that you invest in a good mouthguard for them too. There are plenty of cheap ones available in just about any sporting goods store. However, do some research to ensure that you're getting a quality one that can prevent damage even from hard hits. | eng | a29881e9-e609-4a0e-b6e5-bec18efc6960 | https://www.dentistsperth.net.au/how-to-prevent-accident-related-dental-emergencies/ |

Beware Of Stroke And Heart Attack Symptoms This Holiday Season
Regardless of how you celebrate this holiday season, there is something you should be aware of: stroke and heart attack symptoms.
Why? This is the time of the year in which doctors see more cardiovascular emergencies.
Thanks to my ongoing partnership with Baptist Health South Florida, I want to share with you why it is so important to know risk factors and what to watch out for to protect our health and our loved ones. Above all, I want to raise awareness so nobody delays getting urgent medical care due to the pandemic.
"The increased incidents for both stroke and heart attack around the holidays has been studied for quite a while," said Leo Huynh, D.O., chief of emergency medicine at Baptist Hospital. "A lot of it is preventable, as far as overindulgence of food, alcohol, as well as salt intake, which will put a big stress on the cardiovascular system."
Strokes are quite common and require urgent care
Both Dr. Huynh and Felipe De Los Rios, M.D., medical director of the stroke program at Miami Neuroscience Institute, shared valuable information during a recent Baptist Health's Resource Live program.
Dr. De Los Rios explains that strokes are very common. "Actually, one out of six people will have it in their lifetime. It's the fifth leading cause of death. And what happens is the brain receives, needed oxygen and nutrients that come through the blood to survive. And when you have a stroke, there's an interruption of blood flow to an area of the brain."
Dr. Huynh says people should act as soon as they suspect something is wrong. "I think the most important thing regarding strokes as well as heart attacks is timely care. Certainly with COVID everyone's a little more tentative in their daily life, but it's really important to distinguish a medical event and they have to get immediate attention."
He explains hospitals take special precautions like separating COVID patients versus the non-COVID patients right from the point where they enter the door. "It's a separate process, separate waiting room. And we really worked hard to protect all the patients and all of our staff," says Dr. Huynh.
Stroke and heart attack symptoms that merit urgent medical care
Doctor De Los Rios is very clear that if we see a loved one stop being able to do something they used to do, like speaking, moving or feeling, we should call 911 or go to the emergency room. Since not all hospitals can treat a stroke, it is better to call 911. "911 lets us know before the person arrives. So the whole team is much more ready to really streamline the process," says Dr. De Los Rios.
Dr. De Los Rios shares there is a simple way to detect about 70 to 85 percent of all stroke symptoms. Just remember the acronym FAST. "What it stands for is F is for face. So you can have facial weakness, one side of the face looks more droopy than the other. A is for arm. So there's arm weakness, arm or leg weakness. Usually one side. The S is for speech changes, any speech change, meaning it's a little slurred or the person doesn't understand language or can't speak normally. And then the T is for time."
Tips from the doctors to stay healthy this holiday season
Drink in moderation: "Alcohol and binge drinking really increases the risk of stroke and heart attack as well as accidents and all other sorts of things," explains Dr. De Los Rios.
If traveling, don't let anxiety to take over. "Don't get overanxious with traveling and plan ahead, make sure you have enough medication supplies to last the whole trip."
Be proactive with your health. "Be aware of the protections that you need during these COVID times, because it's not just COVID. I mean, stroke risk goes up with all sorts of infections," says Dr. De Los Rios.
Finally, Dr. Huynh reminds us to keep an eye on ourselves and our loved ones. "Listen to your body, pay attention to those around you, I think that will keep everyone a little safer. In this day and age there's a lot of access to medical care. So, certainly do not be afraid to seek medical care because it could save your or your family member's | eng | 9265ea0d-0e3e-4ae0-89d1-be65c3e4d8fb | https://hispanaglobal.net/beware-of-stroke-and-heart-attack-symptoms-this-holiday-season/ |
Making Artistic Noise Part 2: Contemporary Activist Art
Lauren Adelman
15 years ago
To continue from my first post, at Artistic Noise, we teach a curriculum that focuses on issues relevant to the lives of incarcerated and system-involved youth and uses art to encourage them to develop his or her voice. For every topic we explore, we study the work of contemporary artists who are creating work related to the one at hand. Our use of contemporary art can be as in-depth as creating an artwork inspired by an original piece or as simple as a daily check-in question. We have the luxury of ninety-minute classes to explore a different idea about contemporary artwork in almost every session.
Violence is something that affects so many of these teens. On a recent field trip to MoMA, we looked at, and took back with us, Felix Gonzalez-Torres's "Untitled" (Death by Gun). Our students used his poster-sized artwork to create books with their own views on gun violence. We have also explored Walid Ra'ad's work, Oh, God, He Said Talking to a Tree, while discussing the issue of violence. Through these in-depth discussions, the students explore why contemporary artists, such as Gonzalez-Torres and Ra'ad, choose the materials and imagery they do to convey their idea, meaning, or message.
Felix Gonzalez-Torres. "'Untitled'" (Death by Gun)," 1990.
In our art and entrepreneurship studio, we have an entire wall of examples of contemporary artwork. Our programs are based on the Restorative Justice philosophy, in which we begin and end every group in a circle with a check-in question and a check-out question. Quite often, our check-in question will relate to the contemporary art wall. Recently, we asked students to choose a piece and say one word that they felt described it. One of the boys chose a photo of a woman wearing a shirt with the Jenny Holzer truism stating ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SURPRISE. The discussion about the artwork was lively, excited, and involved. Not knowing that this piece was part of a series entitled Truisms, the young man described the work as "the truth."
Artistic Noise is also partnering with a GED program that works a similar population. With the teachers, we create art curriculum to reinforce what they are working on in their regular class. This past fall, they had their students studying anatomy. After a visit to the Bodies exhibit with the teachers and their students, we began to cast the students' faces and arms. We studied the art of Kiki Smith closely. One young woman cast her face and spent weeks painting it. She must have painted 15 coats on her mask. She was inspired by one of Smith's works and added tears coming from her own eyes accompanied by her own words.
On a different trip to MoMA while working on this project, this same student saw Specter of Gardenia by Marcel Jean—a plaster head with eyes zippered shut. Since then, the student has begun to expand her body of work in a much more focused manner. In her artist's statement for a linocut she wrote:
If you look in my eyes, what do you see? Pain, hurt, lies, darkness, and more. Just by looking at her you will start to understand her story. You will begin to feel her pain, hear her lies and become one with her in her world of darkness.
Working with art allows these students to express themselves, as well as consider different approaches artists employ to communicate in general and advocate for change specifically.

The aesthetic and scientific values of caves are being degraded by the
impacts of recreational use. Although these impacts are recognised,
little research has been undertaken in impact assessment, mitigation and
monitoring. This paper discusses the physical impacts of recreational
use on caves and some research methods which are currently being used to
assess and monitor impacts in Gardner's Gut Cave, Waitomo and Honeycomb
Hill Cave, North Westland, New Zealand.
Introduction
Caves, and the features within them, are of considerable scientific
interest and recreational value, both intrinsically and aesthetically.
They also have cultural and historical significance, as well as being of
educational importance. Human activity in caves is likely to have
a detrimental impact on the cave environment. The activities of cavers
have had widespread impacts on caves throughout New Zealand, despite the
conservation ethics that are stressed by organised caving clubs and the
New Zealand Speleological Society.
This study considers the activities of cave visitors including caving
clubs, organised recreational groups, and casual cavers. The scope
of this study excludes conventional tourist caves as these have been hardened
against visitor impacts by management procedures such as the provision
of electric lighting, constructed walkways and barriers.
Many disturbances or impacts on a cave system are likely to be irreversible.
It is important that impacts are quantified and monitored so that management
strategies can be implemented. This is important in order to avoid
or minimise disturbance to the cave environment in the future and to check
that current management strategies are effective. Possible management
strategies may relate to controlling both visitor behaviour and numbers,
and identifying limits of acceptable environmental change.
Few detailed scientific studies concentrating explicitly on human impacts
in caves and cave management have been undertaken in New Zealand.
However, notably research by Wood (1983) on cave carrying capacity at Zweihohlen,
Waitomo; and Rautjoki and Millar (1985) on the management of Honeycomb
Hill Cave, Karamea; have discussed impacts of human activities on the cave
environment.
Objectives
To properly manage the cave resource, it is important to be able to
accurately assess human use and impacts on the resource. Impact mitigation
and monitoring are also essential if successful cave management is to occur.
The objectives of this study are to:
Assess the natural state and conservation status of the cave resource,
at Gardner's Gut and Honeycomb Hill Caves, and identify the attributes
and values of significance that are vulnerable to human disturbance, including
disturbance from recreational use.
Develop a method of assessing the vulnerability of areas of the
cave to recreation impacts and prepare a vulnerability map for sections
of the cave systems.
Assess impacts of recreation activities that have already occurred
on the Gardner's Gut and Honeycomb Hill cave environments.
Develop methods for quantifying recreation impacts and potential
impacts on the cave environment.
Assess the effectiveness of photomonitoring as a recreational impact
assessment method in Honeycomb Hill Cave.
Set a baseline for future monitoring of recreation impacts.
Consider using the results to contribute to a development of a generic
methodology for assessment of individual cave values, their spatial distribution
and their vulnerability, including reference to the comparative conservation
value of other cave systems.
Provide general recommendations on ways in which management might remedy or mitigate recreational impacts in Gardner's Gut and Honeycomb Hill caves.
Study sites
There are two study sites for this project; a site at Waitomo, and a
site in the Oparara Valley near Karamea.
The Waitomo site for this research is the Zweihohlen and Henry Lambert
sections of Gardner's Gut Cave, near Waitomo Caves. Gardner's Gut
is the longest cave system in the North Island at almost 13 kilometres
in length (Worthy 1991). The section of cave to be included in this study
lies under the Ruakuri Scenic Reserve. Access to the Cave is uncontrolled
and managed by the Department of Conservation. It is one of the most
visited sections of cave in New Zealand and has seen heavy use by cavers
over the last 35 years (Ash 1985).
Gardner's Gut Cave is presently used heavily by cavers, recreational
groups and commercial adventure tourist operators. The increased
activity has had a detrimental effect on the Cave. Conservation measures
have been carried out in the Cave by the New Zealand Speleological Society
since the 1960s however the damage is continuing. There has been
no previous study of the physical impacts of visitors to the Cave.
Honeycomb Hill Cave is located in the Oparara Valley to the north of
Karamea, North Westland. The Cave was discovered in 1976 by local
cavers. Further exploration realised the significance of the unique
formations and, more importantly, sub-fossil bone deposits that are up
to 20,000 years old. Entrance to the 14 kilometres of passages is
controlled with a gate and permit system administered by the Department
of Conservation from its Karamea office. The Department of Conservation
also has a photomonitoring record of key sites within Honeycomb Hill Cave
beginning in 1985.
Since the Cave's discovery cavers have extensively explored much of
the Cave and, more recently, part of the Cave has been opened for a commercial
tourist operation. Both the cavers and the tourist operation are
likely to have a detrimental impact on the fragile cave environment — most
of which is irreversible. Honeycomb Hill Cave receives far fewer recreational
cavers than Gardner's Gut — records indicating only 850 permitted visitors
since 1987.
Despite the contrast in visitor numbers and management between the two
caves, similar impacts have occurred in both areas.
Impacts of Recreational Cavers
Literature focusing on the human impact on caves and cave conservation
is limited. Considering there is much literature on the scientific
and recreational value of the cave resource and the "conservation" ethics
and codes accepted by the caving fraternity internationally, it is surprising
that there has not been more objective discussion or criticism of caver
impacts. Unfortunately these impacts are poorly documented — likely
due to the difficulty in quantifying and subsequently documenting impacts.
One of the overall themes in cave conservation literature states that
cavers do have an impact and stress the need for research into this area
(Gillieson 1996; Wilde & Williams 1988). The lack of research
is surprising considering the value and vulnerable nature of the cave resource
that is frequently echoed.
In reviewing the literature such as Gillieson (1996), Hardwick and Gunn
(1993), Reider (1976), and Spate and Hamilton-Smith (1991), the physical
impacts of recreational cavers can be categorised into groups as follows:
Carbide dumping and marking of walls
Erosion, compaction and transportation of cave sediments
Erosion of cave surfaces (ladder and rope grooves, foot traffic)
Introduction of energy sources from mud on clothes and food residues
Modification of cave entrances and destruction of entrance vegetation and soil erosion
Damage to speleothems may be intentional or accidental. In both
cases the damage is permanent. Damage includes formation breakage,
discolouration due to mud transfer onto formations from caver's hands and
clothing, as well as graffiti. Vandalism includes the intentional
destruction of formations and evidence of mud fights.
2. Sediment transport/deposition
Sediments may be tracked into the cave from outside or between different
areas of the cave. Organic material transported into the cave on
the boots and clothing of cavers may have an impact on cave biota.
Sediments are transported by cavers and also by natural processes.
Mud transfer from sediment areas to clean surfaces and to stalactites and
stalagmites is an obvious sign of degradation. The clastic deposits
on the cave floor are very vulnerable to trampling. Once disturbed,
these deposits may be compacted, liquefied, eroded and subsequently transported
to other places within the cave. Often beautiful and delicate structures
may be destroyed along with their scientific and aesthetic values.
3. Erosion of floor and slopes
Visitors moving through caves can have long lasting impacts on the
scientific and aesthetic value of silt deposits and surfaces. This
is because the forces of weathering and erosion (which are constantly reworking
deposits above ground) often do not exist in caves making it possible for
deposits to remain undisturbed for thousands of years. Constant removal
of cave floor sediments by the activities of cavers can cause the development
of an incision in the cave floor. This incision may proceed to the
bedrock, often breaking through interbedded layers of calcite as it becomes
exposed to the impacts of human trampling (Wood 1983).
The erosion of unconsolidated cave materials may also have an impact
on water quality within the cave streams. Transport and compaction of floor
sediments may lead to 'dimpled' pathways, which are common in heavy use
areas. Sediment transport from elsewhere in the cave can lead to
the development of a pathway on which the surface actually builds up above
the original floor level (Spate & Hamilton-Smith 1991).
Visitor movement up and down silt and talus slopes within the cave causes
considerable reworking and movement of material downslope. Movement
of visitors up and down limestone faces may lead to a polishing effect
to the point where it becomes difficult to climb the faces and thus visitors
will seek an easier less challenging route thereby expanding the impact
(Spate & Hamilton-Smith 1991).
4. Floor impacts
The flowstone floors in areas of the cave are easily damaged or discoloured.
Cavers aware of this fact often remove their boots before walking on the
flowstone. Once the flowstone is cracked or broken a knick point
may develop which retreats as the edge of the flowstone is broken back.
This exposes the fragile clastic material beneath to disturbance by visitors.
Research Methods
This study is attempting to gain both qualitative and quantitative information
regarding caver impacts — the latter has proved to be the more difficult
of the two.
Acquisition of quantitative data in cave research is difficult for two
main reasons:
Limited timeframe for a research project poses difficulties for long-term
monitoring data collection
Quantitative data is being collected in three experiments:
Trenchlines to measure erosion of slopes/trails
Compaction measurements using an index penetrometer
Boot washing experiments to measure the amount of foreign sediment being transported into the cave
Qualitative data that is being collected includes:
Impact/vulnerability mapping
Photomonitoring
Monitoring of a cave environment is the best method to determine the
extent of human impact on the area. It provides a means of gauging
how visitor activity affects the resource, or how the impacts relate to
existing visitor patterns/activity.
Trench-line surveys
Some floor areas in the cave that receive heavy human traffic are several
centimetres lower than undisturbed areas. This indicates that visitors
have either compacted, or removed, unconsolidated material from the area
as they move over it. This is referred to as trenching. The
amount of trenching may be measured by stretching a string or level bar
between relocatable points across the passage containing the trench.
Distances and corresponding depths along the strings can be measured and
then repeated at a later date to determine if significant trenching occurs.
Changes in sediment compaction and trail width are also being recorded
at trenchline sites.
Measurement of sediment tracking at entrance
Organic rich material is being tracked into the caves by cavers.
This has an obvious aesthetic impact on the floor surfaces of the cave
but there may also be cumulative impacts on other parts of the cave.
The extent of areas covered and volume of material may be determined and
graphed.
At Gardner's Gut Cave an experiment will be carried out to determine
what effect a boot bath at the entrance to the cave may have on sediment
tracking. This will be done by firstly assessing the extent of the
sediment tracking prior to the introduction of a boot bath and signage
at the entrance and then cleaning up the tracked sediment and providing
cleaning facilities. Impacts will be assessed after a recorded number
of visitors.
Mud tracking onto speleothems is difficult to control. Visitors
must be made aware of the potential impact of touching these formations.
Photomonitoring will assess how much of the formation is affected and impact
mapping will determine the severity of the damage to the formation.
Vulnerability and impact mapping
Vulnerability mapping involves dividing the cave into manageable sections
and then mapping the sections according to their vulnerability to visitor
impact. I propose to develop a scale to rate vulnerability of cave
areas to visitor impact. The vulnerability of each section/type of
formation will be rated on a scale from 1 (high vulnerability) to 5 (low
vulnerability) dependent on the risk of damage and the type of formations
at risk. For example areas within the immediate reach of visitors
on the trail are more vulnerable to damage than those out of reach.
Other particularly vulnerable areas are fragile formations such as straws,
helictites and crystal pools.
Impact mapping will be used to assess the impacts of human activities
that have already occurred. Areas of the Cave will be divided into
sections and both floor and/or ceiling impacts in each of the grids are
ranked relative to the severity of the impacts. This study plans
to utilise a system adapted from Bodenhamer (1995). An impact mapping
system can then be repeated at a later date and data is compared to note
the extent of change.
Vulnerability and impact mapping will give a good indication of the
range of impacts occurring or likely to occur in each area of the cave
and is a useful management tool when combined with photomonitoring.
The maps are also important for management as they provide an inventory
of cave resources. Obviously a good basemap of the cave is needed
before any vulnerability/impact mapping can take place. This meant
a total re-survey of the Waitomo study site.
Photomonitoring
Cave photomonitoring is a term to describe precise photographs of selected
points within the cave taken on a regular basis. The photographs
can be used for inventory, as a record of change, and as a basis of information
for management decisions. Regular photomonitoring of key sites (fixed
photo points) within the cave will become an invaluable management tool
for the future. A good photomonitoring record will establish a baseline
database which can be added to over time as the sites are re-photographed
on a regular basis and photos compared to identify any changes. The
key to a successful photomonitoring system is that it must be effective,
efficient and simple to use and must be used regularly.
The Department of Conservation has a photomonitoring record of key
sites within Honeycomb Hill Cave. This record began in 1985.
As part of this project the photosites within Honeycomb Hill Cave will
be re-photographed and compared to the 1985 photos. The comparison
will be useful in determining the appropriateness of photomonitoring as
a management tool in cave management.
Some photomonitoring of Gardner's Gut Cave was carried out in the mid
1980s and the sites will be photographed again to compare changes.
In the past photomonitoring has been a very slow process as information
at each photopoint must be accurately recorded. At each photopoint
many measurements are taken, including grid references, compass bearings,
elevations, camera, flash and film details, tripod height, distances from
subject, distances and orientation of flashes from subject. This
all makes the process very time consuming and poses many difficulties in
accurately repeating the survey at a later date.
As part of this study, photomonitoring is being carried out in the
Zweihohlen and Henry Lambert levels of Gardner's Gut Cave in order to establish
accurate baseline data.
The photomonitoring method being used does not require fixed photopoints
within the cave that can be relocated at a later date. Initial baseline
photos are taken in the cave and the location (on the cave map or detailed
sketch map), tripod height, camera, lens, film and flash details are recorded.
When repeating the photomonitoring it is possible with previous photo data
on hand to accurately replicate past photos using a centre frame system
on a tripod mounted camera.
Camera flash systems are the most crucial factor in replicating past
photo surveys as the slightest shift in flash orientation can dramatically
alter photo detail, texture, tone and colour. I propose using a camera
with a single fixed flash unit at a measured distance from the lens and
a second flash located on a bar fastened to the tripod at a fixed distance
from the camera lens with flash orientation directed towards centre frame.
To improve consistency in film processing a close-up shot of a colour
scale will be taken on the first shot on every roll of film. A colour
scale will also be included in every photo of the survey. All data
for each photo will be included on a standardised data sheet with a sketch-map,
as this will aid surveys in the future.
The repeat of the photomonitoring at Honeycomb Hill was undertaken
in April 1997. Outlined below are some of the problems that were
experienced:
Different equipment was used in the 1986 photomonitoring. Important
equipment details were not recorded in some cases. Two different
cameras were used with different lens and flash guide numbers.
Some location markers were missing or proved difficult/impossible
to relocate. Some were buried in mud or had been moved by cavers.
Location markers are of no use if a different camera/lens configuration
is being used.
Many of the 1986 photos were of sites that will not show actual wear
and tear on the cave. More should have been taken of floor impacts/potential
impacts. This study has included a further 24 photosites of floor
impacts.
In some cases more damage would have been caused around the photosite
when attempting to re-photograph so these sites were not re-photographed.
Conclusion
Caves have unique scientific, recreational, and scenic values.
These values are endangered by increasing use and misuse of the caves by
cave visitors. Once these values are diminished they cannot be recovered.
Therefore, it is crucial that research be carried out to quantify and monitor
impacts, and to suggest appropriate mitigating strategies.
This study is due for completion in February 1998 and it is hoped that
the results and further discussion will be presented at the next ACKMA
conference.

How do you cope up with the feeling of missing out and how difficult is it to break the habit of disconnecting when you're so used to it?
Shraddha N.
My Instagram feed is mainly surrounded by positive affirmations related to what I want to do. If it's weight loss then about weight, if it's vegan food then about vegans. So I don't feel like I am missing out in anything. My problem though is that I play games before I go to sleep. So now I just decide I will finish x tasks of the game and put the phone aside and sleep.

Canada hosts the sixth freest economy in the world and the freest economy in North America according to the 2014 Index of Economic Freedom. The country has a transparent and stable business climate that makes it one of the world's most attractive investment destinations. This economic image has generated a GDP of over $1.8 billion U.S. dollars for the country in 2014.
Yet, even with this back drop of positive fiscal news, several Canadians are accusing the country of failing the children of the lower class. Despite making up almost three percent of the global economy Canada still has roughly 967,000 children living in poverty.
This number ranks it 15th for lowest child poverty rate out of 17 peer countries. Roughly 15 percent, or one in 10 children, live in poverty. In 1989, the House of Commons voted unanimously to end child poverty within Canadian borders. There was initial success when the rate dropped from 15 percent to 12 percent, but in the mid-1990s childhood poverty was again on the rise and by mid-2000s the rate was back to 15 percent.
According to Dr. Elizabeth Lee Ford-Jones, a professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Toronto, Canada may loose its high economic status unless it starts addressing the problem of child poverty. Dr. Ford-Jones explains, "mounting evidence in the field of social epidemiology shows that poverty limits the futures of children, especially babies, who lack living environments with family support and opportunities to learn and be active, mentally and physically."
She goes onto say that the only way to eliminate this problem is to provide access "to jobs that pay a living wage and appropriate community supports for every Canadian." To help promote the awareness of this problem, she and her colleagues started an elective in the social pediatrics course. Students visited homes with case workers and witnessed the social impacts on a patient's health. "The stories they report back from the field are deeply troubling, particularly for a country as wealthy as Canada."
The OECD, or the Organization for Economic and Co-Operative Development, echoes the sentiments presented by Dr. Ford-Jones. The OECD concluded that "failure to tackle the poverty and exclusion facing millions of families and their children is not only socially reprehensible, but it will also weigh heavily on countries' capacity to sustain economic growth in years to come."
The OECD also put forth its own recommendations for any country that wishes to reduce its child poverty numbers. "The answer lies in striking the appropriate balance between a 'benefits strategy' and a 'work strategy'." In other words it's up to each country to ensure adequate income assistance to families and provide incentives for people to work and support themselves. A meeting ground between the two is still in debate around the world. | eng | 43105075-0ec0-48c3-b9cf-5b0bb4aa3a82 | https://borgenproject.org/tag/canadian-childhood-poverty/ |

Well, it sounds very reasonable, but why is the monstrous pin count
of the chips ? All mask PROMs i have found have much less (and
flash too).
>Q: could the socket be somehow compatible with 720 sockets???
It's also Molex, also slimstack, but much smaller, because 720 itself
is smaller.
>The 720 people seem to be able to replace their ROM with Flash, aren't they?
This was a completely new board, which also has 64 or 128MB SDRAM,
if i am not mistaken. The only thing we can "in principle" reuse are
the flash chips.

AAVS is the oldest organization in the United States dedicated to eliminating experiments on animals. Since 1883 we have been effectively and legally fighting cruelty to animals through advocacy, education and activism. We work with students, teachers, parents, grassroots groups, the media, and members of the scientific community to end the use of animals in science and to develop alternative methods to animal use.
Programs
Animalearn is AAVS' education division and focuses on ending vivisection and dissection in the classroom from elementary through college levels. Animalearn operates The Science Bank, a dissection alternatives lending library, which provides alternatives to using animals, from basic dissection to psychology experiments. By participating in national teacher conferences, hosting workshops and in-service days and providing information to individuals who request assistance, Animalearn helps countless students, teachers, parents and other community members make their classrooms more humane. AAVS' Outreach division educates the public about animal issues through our award winning quarterly publication AV Magazine and bimonthly newsletter ActiVate For Animals, both of which are sent to all members and provide comprehensive, up-to-date information on animal experiments and alternatives. Outreach staff also speak at conferences and place advertisements to reach a large audience, exposing what occurs behind laboratory doors. The Alternatives Research and Development Foundation (ARDF) is AAVS' scientific affiliate. ARDF awards grants to scientists and educators working to develop non-animal methods and promotes alternatives through seminars and workshops as well as writing articles for various scientific publications. | eng | 8e5e58e3-06c6-4b79-870e-87c939bdd269 | https://www.givemn.org/organization/The-American-Anti-Vivisection-Society |
PEER PRESSURE
HERE ARE OUR 5 TIPS WHENDEALING WITHPEER PRESSURE.
If you're dealing with peer pressure know that you're not alone. No one ever wants to be left out and this is why peer pressure often happens. There isn't a specific manual or guide of ways to prevent peer pressure, but we've put together 5 tips that may come in handy if you ever find yourself being under peer pressure:
Analyse who you associate yourself with:
If you ever feel uncomfortable with certain subjects and behaviours the people you surround yourself with talk about and do, then maybe they are not the right group of friends for you. You are more likely to be easily influenced and pressured into doing things you may not want to do in order to fit in. The people you associate yourself with are a reflection who you are. If you feel like what they are doing isn't really what you want to be involved with, then maybe you need to find yourself a new group of friends who accept you for who you are without having to compromise yourself in difficult situations.
Spend time by yourself and study who you are:
It's no secret that we tend to learn more about ourselves as we grow older. Those who don't really know themselves as well as they should are often more vulnerable to peer pressure – they tend to follow the crowd. Taking the time to figure out your strengths, weaknesses and your likes and dislikes can help build your confidence and courage. Another useful way to get to know yourself better is through reading, particularly the Bible as it is a good book for encouragement and guidance for the different aspects of life. Autobiographies and motivational books and speeches are also very useful.
Learn how to say "No":
This tip goes hand in hand with tip number 2. Research shows that the ones who are more likely to be pressured into things are those who find it hard to say no. If you know who you are as a person, you are more likely to have the courage to say no when you don't want to do something. It's also always important to remember that friends that care about your well-being will not pressure or force you into something even after you've said no.
Be cautious of what you expose yourself to:
Curiosities are strengthening with more and more people continuously seeking to know more about things they're probably better off not knowing. You have to be careful of what you expose yourself to particularly on the internet. You should also not give into any pressure that will place you in situations that leave you vulnerable.
Seek advice from someone you trust:
Everyone has had to deal with peer pressure at some point in their lives. Going to someone you trust and who cares about your well-being for advice is always a good option . They may have knowledge that will help you deal with whatever it is that you are being pressured into. | eng | 8da8c179-b645-49bb-8fd1-3cf2c309b2a2 | https://youngxgifted.com/2015/06/13/peer-pressure/ |
Amidst a climate crisis, technological disruption, evolving work landscapes and eroding institutional trust, current educational models are inadequate in preparing individuals of all ages to navigate these changing times. This highlights the urgent need for a profound redesigning of educational models to map to sustainable global systems. We invite you to this rolling workshop series that works together to proactively address the demands of our swiftly evolving worldIn This Summit, We Will …
Create a space for youth to collaborate on meaningful redesigns of education
Address how the loneliness crisis and lack of trust models prevents and impacts youth's ability to proactively solve the climate crisis
Address the importance of preparation for a rapidly changing world
Collaborate on effecting curriculum changes in the time necessary
Learn how the Phoenix Platform can amplify youth voices and support their intentions while providing opportunities to be a part of climate solutions and free education
SUMMIT GOALS
1
Discover pathways to empower youth, women and underrepresented groups by redesigning the educational system from the ground up.
2
Examine the impact of AI on current and future education, considering its alignment with addressing the climate crisis, while also exploring the potential utilization of AI and technology tools for the near-term redesign of the educational system.
3
Explore how the educational system can be transformed to result in green jobs creation and venues for application of the necessarily acquired skills.
4
Determine the requirements and preferences of young adults so that AI systems and global education designs can map to their preferences, ideas and statements so that the world they live in is intentional and one they are supported in creating.
5
Establish and develop an ongoing educational environment and workshop model and strategy that fosters ongoing youth collaboration to magnify their efforts in climate crisis resolution. Workshops will enable collaboration on transforming the existing educational systems and empowering youth to affect their intentions and capacities driving essential global change.
6
Create a space for educational experts to be in collaborative conversation with all young people, and especially marginalized and diverse young people to optimally align their efforts and understandings in order to improve educational offerings and assuredly meet the rapidly changing educational needs of the world's young people in order to empower them to collectively build a new and sustainable future.
Inclusivity – no matter who you are, where you come from, what you look like or what you identify as, we must all have an adequate seat at the table in terms of educational opportunities and participation in solving the climate crisis.
Shifting away from the mindset of prioritizing profit over the well-being of the world.
How we can inspire green jobs and opportunities that support a sustainable future.
The role education plays in society and how it ripples out to affect our world.
Whole systems thinking and application of education to synchronize currently fragmented understandings and shift them into a more comprehensive approach.
AI's application in every phase of education.
Collaboratively arrive at shared understandings and models that reveal and resolve current blind spots in understandings of the climate crisis.
Leading up to this Summit, we partnered with Youth Climate Action Team to learn what is most important to youth in education. In these conversations, we learned that:
Youth want to be met with a higher level of sophistication. They want to be empowered to learn about the crises that are occurring, even though many adults think they are too young to understand.
Youth want climate curriculum integrated into their educational experience and to be empowered to work with and uplift others in the divided world we now share.
Students are frustrated at spending the first twenty years of their lives in a system that maintains the status quo, rather than one that can empower and support them in creating a world and future that works.
Youth recognize that the traditional strategy of getting good grades and going to college will no longer guarantee the bright future and that a new approach, one that addresses the current reality is now required.
The threats posed by climate change to food, water and other resources, combined with the emergence of the automation era and AI, present children of the future with hugely different realities to navigate. Join the WSS Youth Climate Summit to weigh in on these pressing issues and collaborate globally with a community dedicated to solving the climate crisis in the time necessary!

This is a 1:100 (15mm) Chi-Ha Shinhoto, the later version with the long 47mm gun, that I designed a while ago for a commercial client, though I don't believe they've actually produced it (yet).
Since I printed it, a few months ago, both the turret and hull have developed some pretty bad cracking, and I'm not sure why. Both components were printed solid, and it may be that the innards have not cured properly, or else maybe the outer layers were over-cured... but really, I'm just flailing in the dark.

The Gospel Tears Down Divides (2:11-21)
Bible Passage: Galatians 2:11-21
Galatians 2 tells of two meetings between Paul and Peter, with Barnabas present on both occasions. Both meetings were in the context of pressure from those insisting that following the Jewish law was necessary for Gentile believers. The first meeting (v1-10) took place in Jerusalem, and Paul and Peter were of one mind. The second meeting is the focus of today's sermon. It took place in Antioch and this time there was a confrontation between them.
Note, in verse 14, Paul's words to Peter are quoted. As quotation marks are not present in the original Greek, the translators needed to make a judgment call where the quotation starts and finishes. Some interpreters believe the quotation runs all the way from verse 14 to 21, and given the seamless flow of thought in these verses this seems likely to be the case.
Peter's Hypocrisy: The presenting issue in the conflict was table fellowship. Peter (Cephas) had travelled from Jerusalem to visit the Antioch church, and at the start of his visit he ate together with Gentile believers (there is the record of a vision from God in Acts 10 teaching him not to consider certain foods or ethnic groups of people as unclean). However, when a group of other came from Jerusalem, Peter stopped eating with Gentiles because he was worried about how those in the circumcision faction would react. As a leader in the church, Peter's actions carried a lot of weight, and other Jewish believers, including Barnabas, also stopped eating with Gentiles.
The issue at stake here is a very important one. The gospel completely breaks down all ethnic and social divides. Under the law there was a sharp distinction between Jews and Gentiles, but at the foot of the cross we are all equal. When we introduce distinctions or hierarchies into Christian practice and only associate with certain kinds of believers then we are acting in contradiction to the gospel. For Peter and the others, the primary driver here was fear of man. We must extend gospel fellowship to all believers, regardless of what divides others might want us to uphold.
Paul's Response: On seeing the way Peter and Barnabas were acting, Paul confronted them. His response here is very instructive in a number of ways:
Firstly, Paul could see clearly the gospel implications of the situation. Whereas others were swept up in the pressures created by the different factions, Paul's mind was on how their actions hindered or helped the gospel. We should all aspire to develop such clear gospel thinking that it becomes the framework through which we can determine what needs to happen.
Secondly, he spoke to Peter face to face. It would have been easy for Paul to complain to others, or to start agitating against Peter, but instead he spoke to him directly and clearly and explained how he saw the issue. Peter's words at the council of Jerusalem in Acts 15 show that he had accepted Paul's argument.
Thirdly, he brought the issue up publicly. Not every dispute needs to be resolved in public, but because this was a circumstance where a leader had acted in front of others in a way that undermined the gospel, there was a need to have the discussion in front of others and use it as a teachable moment to clearly articulate the gospel.
Gospel, Law and Faith: In Paul's speech to Peter and the others (taking all of v14-21 to be that speech), he points out how ridiculous it is to expect Gentiles to adhere to the Jewish law, when even Jewish believers such as Peter and Paul do not adhere to the law, but are instead justified by faith in Jesus.
Refusing to eat with Gentiles would be in effect rebuilding the very law that they have worked so hard to tear down through their preaching, as they have instead pointed people to the gospel. As believers we are dead to the law, and alive in Christ. It is through faith in him, and by his indwelling presence that we now live. So we must not return to the old distinctions and divisions.
These verses are quite dense and complex, but they are a strong warning against trying to return to a way of life based on the law. As Christians, faith in Jesus is not merely how we start but is also how we go on.
Potential Applications:
The gospel tears down divides between people. Ask people to think about which believers they might be reluctant to have table fellowship with them and challenge them to repent of this.
How do we react when we see other believers acting in ways that undermine the gospel? Can we follow Paul's example in being clear, bold and direct where we need to be?
Invite people to consider any ways they are living according to law rather than by faith in the Son of God? | eng | 5ad77338-0661-4b45-83a3-6e064755329d | https://thebroadcastnetwork.org/lessons/the-gospel-tears-down-divides/ |
Named for a California flower that smells like rotten fish, Addertongue is, like its namesake, not exactly what it seems.
It's a band…sort of, but the collaborators rarely meet. It takes its inspirations from the 1960s and 1970s, but doesn't try to directly mimic the past. It has soaring moments of melody as quickly as it heads into trippy, experimental territory. Because the personnel changes with each release, album will have a slightly different angle and vibe.
However, Addertongue is consistent in its exploration of its members' dreams, visions, and imaginations, and wherever that might lead is where Addertongue will go. | eng | aa4461d0-84d5-4a92-beb2-8dea68b72146 | http://www.addertongue.org/about-us/ |

Why do I have a little belly even though I'm fairly lean?
One reason could be that you're "skinny-fat". Masculine hormones generally cause us to store fat in our stomachs, so it's actually pretty common for skinny guys to start developing a bit of a belly—and only a belly—if they aren't eating very well or doing much to encourage muscle growth (like lifting weights). The solution to that would be to start eating and training for muscle growth.
…However, many of the skinny "pot bellies" we see have nothing to do with fat at all—they're postural. More specifically, they're caused by an anterior pelvic tilt. This is incredibly incredibly common. I'd guess that around 80% of the skinny guys coming into our program have them. So around here we affectionately call this postural pot belly issue "ecto-belly."
Here's what I mean:
In the first image you've got a typical skinny guy with ecto-belly. His pelvis is tilted forward, perhaps from years of spending a lot of time sitting and not a lot of time developing strength or working on mobility. This creates an arch in his lower back (lordosis). In order to keep his upper body upright, his ribs then need to flare upwards. This creates a flat zone in the mid back. In order for his head to remain upright, his upper back rounds forwards and his neck juts forward. This creates rounding (kyphosis) in his upper back and something called "forward head syndrome."
This arsenal of postural compensation patterns isn't that bad. Many skinny guys go through their entire lives without ever addressing it and nothing all that horrifying happens. This posture also boosts the perceived size of your tush, making it a create choice when taking belfies*.
Most men try desperately to get out of it though, and there's good reason for that. It can make it dangerous to lift weights overhead, it could potentially reduce athletic performance, it gives you the appearance of a skinny dude with a pot belly, and it also makes you look a whole lot less confident. In fact, it mirrors a timid posture so perfectly that your brain will respond to it by reducing your actual confidence levels.
Luckily it's very fixable. Learning how to do deadlifts, squats push-ups and planks properly will go a long way to fixing it, so a good strength training program (like ours!) will help a tremendous amount even if you don't pay that much attention to your posture. You can also work on building up better glute strength, doing planks, and practicing maintaining a neutral pelvis and strengthening that position with lifts like the dead bug:
Postural stuff can take time. If you're lifting well though, you're well on your way. You'll be standing a little taller and more confidently each week | eng | 2b506fbd-87ba-4bdc-a0c7-4cb6b411bf51 | https://bonytobeastly.com/why-do-i-have-a-little-belly-even-though-im-fairly-lean/ |
Inputs
1. Introduction
The total number of user inputs is equal to 9.
Among these inputs, 5 are standard inputs and 4 are advanced
inputs.
2. Standard inputs
2.1 Modes of computation
There are 2 modes of computation.
The " Fast " computation mode is the default one. It corresponds
to a hybrid model which is perfectly suited for the pre-design step. Indeed, all the
computations in the back end are based on AC finite element computations associated to
symmetrical component transformation. It evaluates the electromagnetic quantities with
the best compromise between accuracy and computation time to explore the space of
solutions quickly and easily.
The " Accurate " computation mode allows solving the computation
with transient magnetic finite element modelling. This mode of computation is perfectly
suited to the final design step because it allows getting more accurate results. It also
computes additional quantities like the AC losses in winding, rotor iron losses and
Joule losses in magnets.
2.2 Line-Line voltage, rms
Note: The number of parallel paths and the winding connections are
automatically considered in the results.
2.3 Power supply frequency
The value of the power supply frequency of the machine: " Power supply
frequency " ( Power supply frequency ) must be provided.
The power supply frequency is the electrical frequency applied
at the terminals of the machine.
2.4 Definition mode
There are 2 common ways to define the working point. It can be defined by indicating the
slip " Slip " or by defining the operating speed of the machine "
Speed ".
2.5 AC losses analysis
The " AC losses analysis " (AC losses analysis required only with
"Accurate" computation mode) allows to compute or not AC losses in stator winding. There
are three options available:
None : AC losses are not computed. However, as the computation
mode is "Accurate", a transient computation is performed but without representing the
solid conductors (wires) inside the slots. Phases are modeled with coil regions. Thanks
to that, the mesh density is lower which results in a lower number of nodes and a lower
computation time.
FE-One phase : AC losses are computed but only one phase is
modeled with solid conductors (wires) inside the slots. The other two phases are modeled
with coil regions. AC losses in winding are computed with a lower computation time than
if all the phases were modeled with solid conductors. However, this can have a little
impact on the accuracy of results because we have supposed that the magnetic field is
not impacted by the modeling assumption.
FE-All phase : AC losses are computed, and all phases are modeled
with solid conductors (wires) inside the slots. This computation method gives the best
results in terms of accuracy, but with a higher computation time.
2.6 Slip
When the choice of definition mode is " Slip" , the value of
machine's slip " Slip" ( Slip ) must be provided.
Note: The slip (s) corresponds to the difference between the speed of
the rotating magnetic field in the stator (N s = Synchronous speed) and the
rotor operating speed (N).
Unit can be % or PU.
2.7 Speed
When the choice of definition mode is " Speed" , the value of
operating speed " Speed" ( Speed ) must be provided.
3. Advanced inputs
3.1 Number of computed electrical periods
The user input " No. computed elec. periods " (Number of computed
electrical periods only required with "Accurate" computation mode) influences the
accuracy of results. Indeed, the computation often leads to have transient current
evolution which requiring more than an electrical period of simulation to reach the
steady state over an electrical period.
The default value is equal to 2. The minimum allowed value is
0,5. The default value provides a good compromise between the
accuracy of results and computation time.
3.2 Number of points per electrical period
The user input " No. points / electrical period " (Number of
points per electrical period required only with "Accurate" computation mode) influences
the accuracy of results (computation of the peak-peak ripple torque, iron losses, AC
losses…) and the computation time.
The default value is equal to 40. The minimum recommended value
is 20. The default value provides a good balance between accuracy
of results and the computation time.
3.3 Skew model – No. of layers
When the rotor bars or the stator slots are skewed, the number of layers used in Flux
Skew environment to model the machine can be modified: " Skew model - No. of
layers" ( Number of layers for modelling the skewing in Flux Skew
environment ).
3.4 Rotor initial position
The initial position of the rotor considered for computation can be set by the user in
the field « Rotor initial position » ( Rotor initial position
).
The default value is equal to 0. The range of possible values is
[-360, 360].
The rotor initial position has an impact only on the induction
curve in the air gap.
3.5 Mesh order
To get the results, the original computation is performed by using a Finite Element
Modeling . The geometry of the machine is automatically meshed.
Two levels of meshing can be considered for this finite element
calculation: first order and second order.
This parameter influences the accuracy of results and the
computation time.
By default, second order mesh is used.
3.6 Airgap mesh coefficient
The advanced user input " Airgap mesh coefficient " is a
coefficient which adjusts the size of mesh elements inside the airgap. When the value of
" Airgap mesh coefficient " decreases, the mesh elements get
smaller, leading a higher mesh density inside the airgap, increasing the computation
accuracy.
The imposed Mesh Point (size of mesh elements touching the points of the geometry),
inside the Flux ® software, is described as:
MeshPoint = (airgap) x (airgap mesh coefficient)
Airgap mesh coefficient is set to 1.5 by default.
The variation range of values for this parameter is [0.05;
2].
0.05 gives a very high mesh density and 2 gives a very coarse
mesh density.
CAUTION:
Be aware, a very high mesh density does not
always mean a better result quality. However, this always leads to the formation of a
huge number of nodes in the corresponding finite element model. So, it means a need of
huge numerical memory and increases the computation time considerably.
3.7 Convergence criteria on temperature
The advanced user input " Converg. Criteria on temperature "
(Convergence criteria on temperature ) is a percentage driving the convergence of the
computation.
This advanced user input is available when the iterative thermal
solving mode is selected in the thermal settings.
The iterative process (loop between electromagnetic and thermal computations) must run
until the convergence criteria has been reached leading to the electromagnetic-thermal
steady state. The convergence process is completed when the variation of temperature
between two iterations gets lower than the ratio " Converg. Criteria on
temperature " set in input.
Convergence criteria on temperature is set to 1.0 % by
default.
The variation range of values for this percentage is ]0;10].
A percentage close to zero gives more accurate results, but a
longer computation time. A high percentage can make the convergence
shorter but decreases the accuracy of the results. The default
value of 1.0% gives a good balance between accuracy and computation
time on most of the computations, but a smaller value can also be
used to increase the computation accuracy on some working
points.
Note:
Two conditions are required to make the "Convergence criteria" available:
The type of machine is Induction Machines with Squirrel cage with Inner rotor
(Thermal computations are available only for inner rotor machine)
One of the two following thermal solving modes is selected: One iteration or
iterative solving mode. | eng | 3c14cbfd-403e-4388-8003-bdee7194bfc3 | https://help.altair.com/FluxMotor/AA_DITA/RecupDocfxM2022_1/DocFluxMotorInDita/topics/4091-Inputs.htm |
Q&A: North Carolina Opens COVID-19 Vaccines To All Adults
As of April 7, all North Carolinians age 16 or older are eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. This open eligibility comes at a tenuous point in the pandemic. Nationwide, new cases are rising in states with similar populations to North Carolina. While this state's numbers are stable, experts are warning there could still be a new surge of cases.
WUNC reporter Will Michaels and digital producer Laura Pellicer cover common questions about this latest phase of vaccinations in North Carolina.
How many people in the state have received their shots and where does North Carolina rank nationwide?
We have about 31% of the population that's received at least one vaccine, according to CDC data. The US average is about 33% of the population with at least one vaccine, so we are hovering right below the middle of the pack for that metric.
How do different counties compare when it comes to vaccine distribution?
Because this is a decentralized process, the vaccine rollout distribution varies pretty widely for different reasons. Looking at Orange County, for instance, they are above the average, approaching 40% at least partially vaccinated. Rural Hyde County is at more than 40%. Hyde County only has a little more than 5,000 people, but their strategy was a bit different. For example, the superintendent of public schools coordinated with the local health department to get teachers from Ocracoke Island over to the mainland in groups to get vaccinated.
And then you look at a county like Johnston, which is at just a little more than 20%, way behind the state average.
So location matters, vaccine hesitancy matters, proximity to mass vaccination sites matters. And remember that vaccine distribution from the state is based at least in part on local providers' ability to get vaccines out quickly. If they get an allocation that they don't use up in the week, they won't get quite as much the next week. But if they show that they are able to get the vaccine out quickly, they'll get a little bit more as the weeks go on.
When will the state be fully vaccinated, and when can we fully reopen?
We have seen other states like California that have started to put a date on it. They plan to reopen June 15. But one of the big reasons why it's hard to pinpoint an exact date is because of vaccine hesitancy. We have certain groups, certain demographics, who are wary of the vaccine.
A new report from the Associated Press highlights a March poll run by Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs that found 40% of white evangelical Protestants said they likely won't get vaccinated compared with about 25% of all Americans. This is just one of many groups who have some vaccine hesitancy.
Governor Cooper has said in a public briefing a couple of weeks ago, that the state would consider implementing some kind of incentive for vaccinations should supply exceed demand. And he has said that the state will release some forecasts soon for what this summer may look like. So essentially, folks just have to wait for more announcements from the state government. But they should be coming relatively soon.
How are we supposed to behave and how do we operate safely in this semi-vaccinated society?
As people start to see the light at the end of the pandemic tunnel, it may be hard to stay vigilant, and that's understandable. But the CDC says fully vaccinated people, that means people who have gotten their second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines at least two weeks ago or the Johnson & Johnson single dose at least two weeks ago, can travel more freely now. They can visit with other fully vaccinated people without a mask.
But the caveat here is fully vaccinated. And only about 20% of North Carolinians are fully vaccinated at this point.
Can you choose which vaccine to receive? How do you find out where the different types of vaccines are being distributed?
It depends on which provider you're asking. For example, a county health department in a more rural area might be getting the Moderna vaccine rather than the Pfizer vaccine because of how complicated it is to store in ultra-cold temperatures.
Larger vaccination sites might have numerous types of vaccines available, but it depends on which day you're trying to make an appointment. If more than one is available on a given day, you will get to choose. The state health department is encouraging people to get whatever is available to them.
Is the 2nd vaccination the same dose as the first?
The quick answer is yes. For the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines (both two-dose vaccines) the second dose is the same type of vaccine and the same amount of vaccine as the first dose.
This doesn't mean you'll experience the same symptoms both times. Generally, folks will experience more elevated symptoms after the second dose.
Dr. Melanie Swift, the co-chair of the COVID-19 Vaccine Allocation and Distribution Work Group at the Mayo Clinic, explains the body's reaction in a post on the Mayo Clinic website. Here's an excerpt.
"When you take two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine, the first dose is the first time for your body to see the spike protein that the COVID-19 vaccines produce, and your body begins to develop an immune response. But that happens slowly. Then when you come back with a second dose, your body is ready to attack it. Your body is primed by that first dose of vaccine. The second vaccine dose goes into your body, starts to make that spike protein, and your antibodies jump on it and rev up your immune system response. It's kind of like they've studied for the test. And it's acing the test."
The CDC does say that in "exceptional situations," a different mRNA COVID-19 vaccine product may be administered at least 28 days after the first dose.

How do I dehumidify my pool room?
The air is not being adequately dehumidified. If you want to control the humidity in your pool room, you should install a dehumidifier. A commercial-grade dehumidifier is able to eliminate humidity problems that can cause uncomfortable environments a portable dehumidifier worth it?
Is it worth it to have a dehumidifier? You can if you have damp problems. Less expensive models may not be as efficient at water removal. Pricier models have a bigger tank capacity, higher energy efficiency, and better water removal capability.
How much humidity does a hot tub produce?
It takes 6 litres of water per hour to evaporate a 4 m2 spa, which is the equivalent of 20 people having an intense sporting activity. The humidity in the air of the spa and the house can reach 80% or more.
Does DampRid get rid of humidity?
It is possible to bring humidity down to a comfortable level with the help of DampRid. If you want to lower indoor humidity and save on energy costs, you should take your plants outside during the summer.
Does DampRid dehumidify?
There is a disposable, non-electric dehumidifier called DampRid. A substance that sustains a dry environment is contained in DampRid. Unlike other dehumidifiers, a desiccant one doesn't have to use electricity or batteries.
Do dehumidifiers use a lot of electricity?
Mini models can use as little as 22 watt, while high volume models can use as much as 500 watt. An hour's usage would cost just under 16p if the dehumidifier could extract up to 20 litres a day better than a dehumidifier?
If you're having problems with black mold, a PIV system could be a better option than a dehumidifier.
What is better anDo you leave a dehumidifier on all day 92 degrees hot for a hot tub?
A temperature between 92F and 94F is ideal for most warm water therapies.
Can I keep my hot tub at 85 degrees?
The hot tub is not always hot. You can lower the temperature for summertime use if you keep them between 99 F to 102 F and a maximum heat of 104 F. You can either lower the temperature of the hot tub or turn it off.
How does a pool room dehumidifier work?
A dehumidifier works by cooling the air so that it can't hold as much water. Liquid water has a lower energy state than water vapor, so heat energy is taken off when it condenses into | eng | 25cb3954-98f6-4e4c-bbbc-f00f4442e038 | https://humidguru.com/best-dehumidifier-for-spa-room/ |

—Victoria Waldock, MA '06
A scholar's perspective
Like many, Tim first learned of Papua New Guinea through the pages of National Geographic as a boy. The highland tribes were still portrayed then through an outdated framework, which he came to question as he learned more about modern anthropology. As Tim explains, "my understanding of Papua New Guinea cultures today has been informed by my studies in the interdisciplinary Human Biology program at Stanford, whereby I am looking at ethnography, anthropology, and the cultural dimensions of conservation through a more sophisticated lens."

I got an answer, it is a reusable heat pad cover. These were made and used from WWII to the 1990's. The bag had several changes over these years. This one is an early one, possibly WWII as it has the fabric strap. Newer ones from Vietnam have snaps and the latest ones have foldover that is angled only one way for the entire width. These used a chemical heat pad that could be reused at least 8 times and they lasted 8 hours.
Some people get "funny ideas" when they have something for sale such as stripping an item to it's component parts and then selling the bits separately. If you want the complete item, obviously, you then have to purchase all the component parts which is rather difficult if someone else decides to buy some of the bits. Another "pet hate" of mine is when someone has something for sale, that you want to buy, but then they refuse to give any indication of how much they want for the item or only say "Open to offers". | eng | 5bd4887f-8894-4484-b0b9-4b75fdb45129 | https://www.milsurps.com/showthread.php?t=78353&s=2529b1e0b7808ee8a2a77eeb87d4d0d7&p=528412 |

How to get flat abs in 10 steps
Losing belly fat doesn?t happen overnight. It
takes a lot of strong commitment and a healthy lifestyle to accompany it.
Although, major changes are able to happen in just a week!
You should follow a workout plan and have a
proper diet and I?m here to give you a proper workout plan that you will find
easy to stick to.
Causes of belly fat
Belly fat can be deadly, and can create risks of cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, cancer, diabetes and even in severe cases death.
It can be difficult to get rid of belly fat, but a healthy diet and the proper exercises can help towards getting rid of stubborn fat.
To ensure that you?re going down the right path with healthy eating, you must avoid eating a lot of carbs and saturated fats.
Instead, more vegetables, polyunsaturated fats, whole grains, lean protein, fruits should be included in your diet.
Exercise burns down calories and boosts your
metabolism, so it is important for weight loss.
There are some specific flat stomach exercises that can target belly fat which I have included in this article.
There are many factors that aid towards belly
fat, such as:
Aging
As you grow older, it is more likely that your body holds onto fat
content more.
This is due to your body beginning to lose muscle mass which causes all
of the excess calories to get stored in your belly.
Hormonal changes
Hormone changes can be a factor of gaining belly fat. If you?re a woman and your estrogen levels drop due to the menopause this can cause fat to get stored in your belly.
Lack of exercise
You might be consuming a lot of calories during the day and not
involving yourself in any exercise or activities, which will cause fat store up
in your belly area.
If you involve basic cardio activities such as running, walking or
cycling into your daily routine, it can go a long way to lose calories.
Poor sleeping habits
If you struggle to get into a good sleeping habit at night, and you find
yourself waking quite a lot, this can aid in gaining belly fat. You are more
likely to gain if you don?t get enough sleep.
Stress
Stress causes your body to create excess cortisol and is a major cause
of excess belly fat. This hormone makes your body to store excess calories in
the belly area as fat.
Poor diet
One of the most common causes of excess belly fat is a bad diet. If
you?re someone who drinks lots of sugary drinks and indulges throughout the day
into night, you?re more likely going to gain belly fat.
Now that you?re aware of the causes of belly fat, let?s take a look at
the solutions. | eng | 20b81083-d7a6-4ac0-a472-dc61c7a1a7e1 | https://www.wholesomeinside.com/flat-abs-fast/ |
They Called It Macaroni
Yankee Doodle went to town A-riding on a pony, Stuck a feather in his cap And called it macaroni.
American fans may recognize these lyrics from the song "Yankee Doodle", a popular tune dating back to the American Revolution. The above stanza, used in later versions of the song and still sung today, refers to a fashion style popularized in the early 19th century: maccaronism. This referred to a fashion style adopted by young men who wore flamboyant clothing with unique and bold ornamentation. Does this remind you of any birds you know?
The Macaroni Penguin was first named for science at a time when macaronis were deeply embedded in popular culture. The flamboyant yellow head feathers found on this dapper little black and white penguin gave the species its common name.
