367 The Brafferton Indian School, Part 1 Brafferton Indian School is a story of power, trade, land, and culture. It's an Indigenous story. It's also a story of English, later British, colonialism. Over the next two episodes, we will investigate the Brafferton Indian School and the stories it tells about power, trade, land, culture, and colonialism in early America. We'll also explore the legacy of the Brafferton and other colonial Indian schools by examining the connections between these schools and the creation of the Indian Boarding Schools that operated within the United States between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. In this episode, we focus on the history and origins of the Brafferton Indian School.

ysenkoism, named after Soviet botanist Trofim Denisovich Lysenko (Russian: Трофи́м Дени́сович Лысе́нко), was a Marxist-Leninist pseudo-scientific and political doctrine in Joseph Stalin's Soviet Union that mandated that all biological research conducted in the USSR conform to a modified Lamarckianevolutionary theory. The underlying appeal was that it promised a biology based on a plastic view of life that was consistent with the plastic view of human nature insisted upon by Marxist-Leninist dogma. As such, in a 1948 speech prepared by Stalin, Lysenko declared Mendel and any adherents of his science to be the "enemy of the people".[1]
Contents
Lysenko (left) speaking at the Kremlin in 1933, with dear leader Stalin and fellow comrades watching.
Lysenko was a thorough crank and a political favorite of Joseph Stalin who promised great advances in the Soviet agricultural system by breeding plants based on characteristics acquired from drastic alterations of their environments. Lysenko took the ideas of Soviet botanist Ivan Vladimirovich Michurin and twisted it to conform to to ideas of Lamarckism and anti-Mendelianism. Despite the political success of Lysenko's hypotheses, the actual implementation was a failure, wrecking Soviet biology research, and risking and even causing famine on several occasions. There seemed to be some initial success to the program, which can be largely attributed to the rapidly industrializing USSR acquiring and beginning to use modern machinery and fertilizers. However, this was not an integral part of Lysenkoism.
At the core of Lysenkoism was the rejection of the work of geneticistGregor Mendel and denunciation of the concept of genes as "idealist" (one of Stalin's favorite snarl words for ideas he found unacceptable). Though the three-dimensional structure of DNA had not been discovered at the time of Lysenko's rise in the 1930s, much productive work — starting with the understanding of how to breed "pure" (i.e. predictable) strains of plants and animals in order to provide proper experimental controls in breeding work — had been done since the discovery of Mendel's work. Lamarckism (the hypothesis proposed by Jean-Baptiste Lamarck that offspring inherit traits their parents acquired in their lifetimes) provided a more politically correct view in the eyes of Stalin, who felt (as had many Lamarckian holdouts) that Darwinian evolution rendered life unacceptably deterministic.[note 1]
The Lysenkoists employed Stalinist terror in their struggle with Darwinian biologists for bureaucratic and academic positions. Anti-Lysenkoists faced the threat of public denunciation, loss of Communist Party membership, loss of employment position, and arrest by the Soviet secret police. Between Lysenko's grip on power and the "disappearances" of numerous of his opponents, it would be years until Soviet biology academia would recover.[2] Similar political strong-arm tactics also hobbled the Soviet nuclear physics program, requiring Soviet scientists to follow only theories that had the Communist Party's blessing. This forced them to steal working designs from the United States, including the decisive Teller-Ulam hydrogen bomb design.
While it's commonly stated that Lysenkoism fell out of favor in the mid- to late-1950s and early 1960s, as Nikita Khrushchev "de-Stalinized" the Soviet Union, the truth is somewhat more complicated. Lysenkoism had actually started losing support in late 1952. It appears that Stalin took offense to Lysenko's accumulating power and influence; articles started being published criticizing Lysenko's theory and methods. However, while Lysenko himself had lost the position of the head of the Soviet Agricultural Academy in 1956, his replacement, Lobanov, was a devoted Lysenkoist, and did nothing to correct matters for as long as he held the position - until 1978 (with a four year gap). As for Khrushchev, he actually supported Lysenko, both due to finding a kindred soul in his deafness to criticism, and being shown the supposed success of an experimental farm complex. Open criticism of Lysenkoism once again became impossible, but so was physical elimination of opponents now, and articles about genetics kept being published. Brezhnev, after replacing Khrushchev in 1964, left the matter to its own devices. Naturally, under these conditions, pseudoscience had no chance of surviving, but the healing was long and painful.
Lysenko's ideas had a negative influence among the Eastern Bloc, especially Czechoslovakia and Poland, while East German scientists like Hans Stubbe successfully prevented the rise of Lysenkoism there. It also contributed to the Great Leap Forward in China which resulted in tens of millions of famine deaths, which led to criticisms of Lysenkoism by Chinese scientists such as Tan Jiazhen and Yuan Longping.
Bernard Davis and a number of other biologists and hereditarians have coined the phrase "neo-Lysenkoism" to refer to people who deny any link between genes and behavior.[3] The link between genetics and behavior/intelligence has, to put it lightly, very thorny social implications tied to it, and as a result it is a very difficult field to get any proper research done in since the vast majority of people "studying" it are racist assholes trying to hide behind a veneer of "science". As such, many of said assholes co-opted the phrase "neo-Lysenkoism" as a snarl word to attack those who do not support their "biological" views of race.[4]
His work has also been celebrated in recent years by Russian nationalists, who attempt to connect it to modern epigenetic ideas even though Lysenko entirely denied the existence of genes and had nothing in common with epigenetics; this appears to have more to do with a fondness for the era of Stalin than any merit in Lysenko's ideas.[5][6]
↑Perhaps coincidentally, perhaps not, the last big-name supporter of Lamarckism, the Austrian biologist Paul Kammerer, had taken a post at the University of Moscow in 1925 on the strength of his work with certain types of toads. When the results were proven faked a year later, Kammerer refused to take the blame but shot himself after donating his notes and library to his employers. Kammerer's case would later become a famous example of scientific fraud. | eng | 086cff87-ebb3-46d1-a74d-e97883fe4eb2 | https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Lysenkoism |

How Far Will Offset Stick Out?
Offset, also known as the stance or roll-out of a car, refers to the distance between the tires on the ground and the wheel's centerline.
Sticking out of the wheel offset depends upon the type of vehicle you are driving. If you have a higher offset in your car or the car, the wheel offset will not stick out. But if you put the wheel offset in the lower offset of the vehicle, you would see the inches of offset sticking out.
If you want to have better traction on slippery surfaces, you should go for the high offset in your car.
If you are looking for an aggressive look or want to avoid scraping your fender with every small curb you drive over, you may want to consider one of these higher-offset wheels.
If your car isn't equipped with a factory-style suspension system, going too high could cause suspension geometry and handling problems.
The offset of a wheel has little to do with the alignment of the suspension, but it probably will have some effect on steering geometry. For example, an offset that is too close to the cornering force axis will reduce stability when cornering.
Table of Contents
What Is A Wheel Offset?
If you're looking for a wheel and tire package that will give your car a balanced stance, you'll probably want to check out the wheel offset. You may have heard people mention wheel offsets before and not know what they're referring to.
The wheel offset is the distance from the hub mounting surface to the centerline of a given rim's lug bolt pattern or center bore.
This measurement is expressed in millimeters, with 50mm equal to about 2 inches. It might sound like a meaningless specification, but it can be quite important.
The offset lets you know how much the wheels will stick out from the fender openings on the car's bodywork.
This is essential information to know if you're working on a custom project that calls for larger tires and wheels. For example, imagine installing 17-inch off-road truck wheels onto your sedan.
What are you going to do?
Your first step should be looking at the wheel offset specs for each of your prospective wheel and tire packages.
You can find the offsets listed on the packaging or material specs sheet and a listing of standard rim specifications.
Most manufacturers publish these specifications, so you'll be looking for them in the appropriate places. If you don't see any specs published, it's a good sign that your offered package may not be suitable for your car.
Difference Between Negative And Positive Offset.
Wheel Offset and Backspacing Explained
A negative wheel offset is when the front wheels are further away from the vehicle's centerline, while a positive wheel offset has the front wheels closer to that centerline. However, this difference may not always be precisely 1 inch because of suspension geometry and other factors.
Avoid damaging chassis components, and negative offsets must be less than 0 inches and positive offsets greater than 0 inches.
There are several different clickers on-board with which you can measure these measurements yourself, including a coil-spring tester to verify if your car's shock absorbers are functioning correctly.
You can also find a positive and negative offset calculator on the internet that is commonly used to find offset values based on the chassis of a vehicle. If your vehicle has positive and negative offsets, it may need to be converted.
Negative offsets are no longer used as they were considered to serve no purpose and could potentially damage suspension components.
A negative offset does not necessarily mean that the wheels are further away from the vehicle's centerline; rather, it is defined as being at or above a certain threshold.
How Can You Distinguish Among Backspacing And Offset?
Understanding Wheel Offset and Backspacing
The first step to understanding the difference between backspacing and wheel offset is figuring out what each means. Wheel offset is simply the distance from any point on the wheels' hubcap to the vehicle's centerline.
On the other hand, backspacing is defined as how far away from the centerline of an axle or driveshaft any given point on a wheel hub is.
When talking about cars or trucks, you can think of it as offset, referring to both left-to-right and front-to-back measurements; backspace would be translated only into front-to-back measurements.
So, backspacing is the distance from the wheels' centerline to their center.
Well, while most people understand that backspacing refers to a front-to-back measurement, very few people take the time to figure out what it means to measure left-to-right and front-to-back when talking about wheels.
This is because backspacing and wheel offset is different things inherently. One can use heads and think in simple terms: one measures the distance from any point on a wheel to its centerline, while the other measures distance from the side of a wheel's hubcap to its centerline.
Wheels Offsets And Stability Of The Car.
How Far Will Offset Stick Out?
Wheels are made of rubber, which is elastic. This means that the more weight on the wheel, the bigger its contact patch with the ground becomes. The greater this contact patch, or footprint, the more stability a wheel has.
Taking this into consideration, it becomes evident that a higher offset will contribute to more excellent stability as a larger footprint is presented.
A low offset would be used for racing as it allows for quick changes in direction and offers less surface area to work with, therefore less stable. A low offset is also more susceptible to curbing and sudden bumps, making it more prone to spin out.
Know the driving you're doing. A low offset will better control the car if you're doing many cornering with high G-forces.
On the other hand, if you're doing a lot of hard braking, especially with very little spring tension, a high offset will help control weight transfer from the rear to the front end, thus preventing possible rollover problems.

When do i need to sign up for a personal mortgage?
Refinancing is much like combining. To refinance, you'll want to has an effective credit history and report. In case the credit rating is weak, it's unlikely refinancing is always to your own advantage.
However, for those who have good credit, try to find a loan provider exactly who also provides student loan refinancingpare individual pupil mortgage pricing and you will conditions about what you already have, and make sure their kept dominant doesn't meet or exceed their mortgage limits.
It is usually wise to implement as fast as possible, you dont miss one deadlines their college has, it doesn't matter if you might be handling an authorized or non-certified bank.
Often approval takes just minutes, even though it takes provided a couple weeks inside the almost every other circumstances. For this reason, if you intend to utilize with a beneficial cosigner, make sure to give yourself additionally the financial institutions a smallest amount of at least thirty day period. Thus giving him or her enough time to demand extra documents they might you prefer and gives you plenty of time to select and you may assemble they.
Even though you don't possess an excellent cosigner, allow yourself more 30 days the potential back and forth towards the financial. It's also wise to waiting to see the potential educational funding results from your FAFSA app.
How can private college loans rating paid?
This will depend on if the bank is actually specialized or non-formal along with your school. If it is authoritative, their bank will pay the college yourself, plus college or university will be sending your people remaining equilibrium immediately following university fees and costs had been applied for.
If you find yourself dealing with a non-formal bank, brand new look at would-be sent to your, sometimes compliment of head put or mail.
Just what are my personal repayment choice?
Repayment options confidence the lending company you choose. Full, you can find five cost preparations that most lenders will use:
Deferment: Having a beneficial deferment, the fresh new borrower will pay absolutely nothing while they're subscribed to university. Interest still accrues, in addition to loan balance expands slightly every day.
Limited Attention: Certain loan providers give a condo-speed payment per month which takes care of area of the month-to-month notice. That it has actually the bill increases down.
Notice Just: The debtor will pay merely attract monthly. That it features the balance an identical before the debtor is ready and also make full principal and you can appeal payments.
Principal and focus: This can be a complete payment per month, which is the exact same payment the new debtor tends to make once they scholar otherwise drops less than area-time enrollment.
How can i pay-off my personal student education loans quicker?
Build appeal otherwise dominant and you may notice payments when you're nonetheless enrolled. It suppress your prominent of increasing if you find yourself at school.
Create a supplementary student loan commission if you can. To do so, usually shell out your minimal fee. After that, just be sure to kepted as many most money as you're able. The majority of people should make an extra fee all 90 days, and therefore makes up about a total of five more money from year to year.
Before you make the excess percentage, make sure to make the lender and explain what you are creating on more money. If they don't get the fresh new letter, they might just suppose the bucks is to be lay for the your following month's percentage instead of heading completely towards your prominent.
Create a huge lump sum. Many people do that by the getting their tax statements toward their student loans.
Spend over minimal each month. Pay more than minimal every month and your principal often go down quicker. Appeal accrues every single day which will be considering your own dominant. The sooner your dominant decreases the earlier you can easily initiate purchasing smaller for the appeal. | eng | 7fe60710-ca3a-44e9-8544-d44f5bcef206 | https://www.pdiusvi.com/when-do-i-need-to-sign-up-for-a-personal-mortgage/ |
Bassnectar Bassdrop Symbol
Yigal Ben Efraim
Lorin Ashton, better known under his stage name Bassnectar, is an American DJ and record producer.
Lorin explained to his fans the meaning behind his infamous "Bassdrop" symbol. He said: "My dear friend who created the word "Bassnectar" helped me create the logo. We searched through books of images and icons, and found something similar to the first original design. We messed with it in photoshop and made it more circular (it almost looked like a bad 1970′s airline logo at first!) and I always took it to be kind of my own 'yin yang' interpretation, with an open end that flows out endlessly.
Depending on the color/contrast, there is one image that is ugly, looks insectlike, or like claws…it is sharp, cold, almost ruthless…or maybe just creepy. Or maybe just ALIEN and strange.
I have had a very deep relationship with the understanding of 'good & bad' or right and wrong. Although my opinions and perceptions always change, I currently do not really understand life to be either good or bad, but rather open to perception, with everything in a bizarre indecipherable balance… something that is good for one is bad for another and vice versa.
Sometimes what is best for the human race is WORST for our planet. Sometimes what is best for a species of animal is WORST for some humans. Sometimes what is best for a beautiful oak tree is worst for mistletoe that is trying to grow inside of (and live off of) the tree.
Like This:
it is kind of psycho creepy, but also beautiful.
and what is bad there? is the ant bad because it is gross looking? it looks like a monster.
or is it bad because it ruthlessly kills other insects?
or is the cordyceps bad because it kills the ant so viciously?
are all the insects bad because they overrun their environment?
are the spores/fungus bad because they keep the insects in check?
etc etc…
The logo is about letting go of human dogma (RELIGION!) and surrendering to a much larger universe, but also embracing every minuscule second and tiny experience as PRECIOUS.
It's a permanent, perfect SIMULTANEOUS dichotomy of total insignificance and total significance merged as one into every single flashing second.
And the logo means a lot of other things too, and you can say it means whatever you want to you as far as I'm concerned :)
As far as any other imagery, it's all just fun, interesting, playful art that you can interpret as you please!
The whole concept of the bassnectar logo/icon symbol is kind of a play on duality, in reference to the balance of positive/negative forces in the universe, and the relative aspects of these forces (meaning there is not absolute 'right' or 'wrong'…only subjective perspective)
Even though there is no Absolute right & wrong, and even though even the SUBJECTIVELY wrong will never be eliminated, nor shall "goodness prevail" …at least not absolutely…. EVEN THOUGH that is true…. I still think that following your natural reflex to help is good because it SUSTAINS the balance." So there you have it folks, the meaning behind Bassnectar's one of a kind, and infamous emblem. Have a good Sunday everyone :) | eng | e9d3646a-f05c-4db0-8451-13ca4e51da3b | https://www.symbols.com/print.php?id=bassnectar-bassdrop-symbol |
Idolatry in Our Modern World: How to Recognize Your Idols seemed so simple.
In His second commandment for the Israelites, God spoke of idolatry. In that day and age, the worship of statues and false gods was all the rage. Every pagan nation had multiple (even hundreds) of idols that they worshiped. So this command from God would have struck a chord with the Hebrew nation. They knew exactly what it meant to carve an image for yourself.
"You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth. You shall not worship them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God…" – Exodus 20:4-5
I can honestly say that I have never once been tempted to carve a statue and worship it. But even so, that doesn't mean idolatry has left the scene. Our American culture has its own unique form of idolatry.Remember, an idol is anything we worship that is man-made. It's the worship of creation rather than the Creator.
I have a friend who once said, "An idol can be anything we give all our strength to or draw our strength from." By that definition, an idol can literally be anything. Even a good, God-given thing (or person) can become an idol in our lives.
So what drives you? What sustains you? Who or what do you rely on for strength, peace, and joy? If the answer to these questions is anything other than the Creator, then it may be time to tear down some idols.
We spend our lives searching for something that fulfills. We build our bank accounts, we give all we have to our children and spouses, we further our careers, we make names for ourselves… many of us find our strength and security in these accomplishments; but in the end, only God can satisfy and sustain us. Salvation comes from Him alone. Nothing on this earth can save us.
In today's culture, it's easy to have idols in our lives and not even realize it… especially when things are going well. We spend so much of our time achieving goals and seeking success, that for many of us, our most dangerous "idol" may, in fact, be ourselves.
When the prophet Jonah was faced with a difficult circumstance (being swallowed by a large fish certainly qualifies as a "difficult circumstance"), he turned to the Lord for strength. (Jonah 2:8-9)
Jonah understood that God alone is the source of safety and security. Even in the midst of the most difficult time in his life, He could rely on God. Unfortunately for many of us, it takes hitting rock bottom to realize that God alone can save us and that He alone is worthy of our devotion. Nothing in this world is like our God!
Nothing we create or build for ourselves can last forever. Our finances, our careers, our reputations, our possessions… they can (and most likely will) fail us at some point. None of these things are bad on their own… but they can easily become idols if we allow them to be our source of strength, security, or devotion.
Little children, guard yourselves from idols. – 1 John 5:20-21
Where does your hope lie? Where do you find security? Who do you go to for strength?
Rather than worshiping something made by your own hands, worship the God who made you.

Over the years, I have witnessed many of my colleagues and friends experiment with different diets or health trends. One of the more recent trends in health and fitness has been the Keto diet. The "Keto Diet," also known as the "Ketogenic Diet", is a diet that consists of mainly low carb and high-fat content foods. I reviewed three articles from credible sources (Harvard Health, Women's Health Magazine, and Healthline) during my research. Women's Health Magazine and Healthline provided examples of meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Below I will provide you with three pros and cons concerning this diet.
Pros:
1) Some consumers of this diet report rapid weight loss
2) There are different types of Keto diets (cyclic, targeted, vegan, lazy keto, and dirty keto)(Miller and Mahtani, 2022)
3) It may lower insulin and blood sugar levels (Mawer, 2020)
Cons:
1) KetoFlu (reports of feeling sick during the first several weeks of initiating the dietary changes required to follow this diet). (Miller and Mahtani, 2022)

Why The West fears, India being the next superpower?
The rise of India as a superpower is a topic that has been gaining increasing attention in recent years. With a population of over 1.4 billion people, a rapidly growing economy, and a strong military, India is poised to become a major player on the global stage.
This rise has been met with mixed reactions in the West. Some see India as a potential partner in addressing global challenges, such as climate change and Western Created Terrorism. Others, however, are concerned about India's growing power and potential to challenge Western interests.
There are several reasons why the West fear India's rise as a superpower. First, India is a nuclear-armed country with growing military capabilities. This could lead to an arms race in the region, destabilising the entire world.
Second, India has a long history of conflict with its neighbours, including Pakistan and China. If India were to become a superpower, it is possible that it would use its power to assert its dominance in the region. This could lead to increased tensions and even conflict.
Third, India is a rising economic power. As its economy grows, India will become a more important player in the global economy. This could lead to greater competition for resources and markets between India and the West.
Of course, not everyone in the West is concerned about India's rise. Some believe India is a natural ally of the West and that its rise will benefit both sides. However, the abovementioned concerns are real and should not be ignored.
The India needs to consider how to respond to Western Future Steps, against india carefully. It is important to find ways to cooperate with West on issues of mutual interest while also managing the risks that its rise poses. If done correctly, India's rise can positively affect the world. However, if not handled carefully, it could increase tensions and conflict.
Here are some specific reasons, India's rise as a superpower:
India's growing economic and military power could challenge the West's dominance in the global order.
India's democratic credentials have been called into question by its handling of the Kashmir conflict and its relationship with Russia.
India's rise could lead to increased competition for resources and markets between the West and India.
However, there are also reasons why the West should not be too concerned about India's rise:
India is a long-standing democracy with a strong commitment to the rule of law.
India has a strong track record of cooperation with the West on various issues, including counterterrorism and climate change.
India's economy still needs to be developed more, and it is unlikely to challenge the West's economic dominance in the near future.
Overall, the rise of India as a superpower is a complex issue with both potential risks and benefits for the West. | eng | 70b7c591-2bd7-454b-86d4-db83d1f8f7a0 | https://salahuddinayyubi.com/news/why-the-west-fears-india-being-the-next-superpower/ |

Let the Sunshine in – Our Q&A with Bob Freeman, Committee on Open Government
Bob Freeman is a very smart guy. A leading authority on open government law, he is the Executive Director of New York State's Committee on Open Government, and in that role, he offers guidance to government agencies, citizen watchdogs, and members of the press.
He teaches lawyers, and students, and reporters, he gives advice to anyone who asks (including foreign governments), and he has an encyclopedic knowledge of statutes and case law concerning access to government records.
He's authored tens of thousands of advisory opinions on what information government should make public and what information may be kept from the public.
This topic may seem a bit dull…but only before you've spoken with Bob. You quickly realize that there are a myriad of rather fascinating issues here regarding privacy, democracy, security, corruption, and politics.
He's been doing this for over forty years…and he's pretty funny once he gets going.
The recent presidential election had me thinking about government transparency, so I got in touch with Bob to see if he'd mind answering some questions. He was, as he generally is, perfectly obliging. Here's what we talked about.
Bob Freeman Q&A
Date: December 1, 2016
What is your hometown and where do you live now?
I lived in the Boston area until I was nine, when we moved to Long Island. It was the mid-fifties, and there was bit of a language barrier, and as I was a Red Sox fan, life was rather difficult. I graduated from East Meadow High School, went on to Georgetown, then NYU for law school. My wife and I moved to the Albany area in 1973, and we've lived in Delmar for 38 years. It's a great place to raise kids, and a great place for day-to-day life.
***
What do you consider your occupation to be? Freedom of Information Guru?
I'm an attorney for state government, and the director of a small state agency. State employees are viewed as a monolith; people think we're all fat and lazy. I characterize myself as an idealistic government attorney.
That's something a federal judge told me once about working in government. You usually do have the luxury to do the right thing, so you should.
That's what I call the Spike Lee principle. Do the right thing! Fortunately for me, I've been given the independence to attempt to do what I think is right without infringement. The goal is to offer the right answer under the law, regardless of source of the question: if it's a member of the public, a public employee, the news media, it doesn't matter.
In our annual report to the governor and legislature, right at the beginning, we have the suggestion that sunlight is the best disinfectant. That's a Louis Brandeis quote from over a hundred years ago.
I knew that the freedom of information laws were called sunshine laws but I did not realize that the quote was from Brandeis. Interesting!
***
When we were setting up this interview, and I asked for the best number to reach you at, you said that you'd had the same number since 1974. You are pretty easy to find, then! May I publish your number in this article?
I think I'd jokingly said in an e-mail that either it's a great job, or I'm in the deepest rut ever created! I think it's the former. And sure, I'll leave publishing the number up to you.
Okay, then! [If anyone reading this wants to talk to Bob, they can call him at 518-474-2518]

So, the United States now has a president-elect who has not released his tax records, and has been rather opaque about his business interests. My understanding is that it has been a longstanding tradition, rather than a legal requirement, to be open about these matters during campaigns. Is that correct? What are your thoughts?
I think that is true. There's never been an obligation that a candidate release tax forms. It is a tradition. If I went to the IRS and asked for yours, they would have to say no. If you had a job in New York State and I asked for them from the government, they would have to say no. In New York State, by statute, they are confidential. The W2 form you get in from your employer even says so.
But we've always believed (and it's a cornerstone of our law) that public officers and employees have less privacy than everyone else. We're supposed to be more accountable than anyone else. Ordinarily it is a given in the highest office in the nation. For what its worth, I hope that this it not a precedent. You can't help but wonder, when the government says NO, and it flies in the face of tradition: you wonder what is being hidden. I don't know. No one knows, that is the problem: that we don't know. The more we disclose, the more we can appreciate the government and have confidence in our officials.
Are we looking at an incoming administration that is likely to be hostile to open government?
I would imagine that we're looking at an administration that will be inconsistent. It is too early to judge. But responses to questions seem to be dependent upon someone's feeling on a given day. We've seen conflicting responses on any number of issues, appointments that conflict with campaign statements. I would guess with respect to secrecy, personally, that we will probably see damage to FOIA (the Freedom of Information Act—the federal open government law). That's just a guess.And Attorney General Jeff Sessions could hardly be categorized as a champion of open government, or of open-mindedness.
***
When I worked in New York City government, the tendency seemed to be that officials were much less concerned with releasing records that were going to prove costly, and much more concerned with releasing records that might be embarrassing.
In the Giuiliani years, I'd frequently get calls from attorneys who represented news organizations. He frequently said no.
Yes, he had some authoritarian tendencies even then. Things seemed a bit more open during the Bloomberg years.
***
If I remember correctly, FOIA, the US open government law, was passed largely as a reaction to the Watergate scandal with the Nixon administration, and had bi-partisan support. Do you foresee any legislative changes coming re open government at the federal level?
It seems unlikely to me, primarily because both houses will be dominated by the same political party. The history of the federal act and the New York State law is interesting. Who were the sponsors initially? Far to the right on one side, and far to the left on the other. Opposite ends of the spectrum, trying to promote change. Not those in the middle who have lost, just like in our recent election. It's impossible to predict ,but I don't anticipate positive changes in FOIA.
One US Senator, John Cornyn from Texas (and actually many legislative bodies are like this) is hard to figure out. There are strong proponents of certain aspects of the law, which I'd consider liberal, who are very conservative in other aspects, such as Cornyn. The leader in FOIA legislation is the Senator from Vermont, Patrick Leahy. How much power he will have remains to be seen.
Well, nothing surprises me at this point.
If nothing else, what have we learned is that we can't predict the future. We don't know what is coming next. Especially in the context of the most recent election. What will be tweeted next?
***
What are the biggest problems with the open government laws in the US, in your opinion?
Well, if we are talking about the federal act, the federal courts have rolled over for federal agencies. When an agency denies access and is sued, it has the burden of proof. In too many instances, an agency involving law enforcement withholds documents and the federal courts agree to let them withhold. A fabulous law review article came out on the "mosaic theory," which is the notion that individual bits of data are innocuous, but, if you could put them together, you could create havoc, you could engage in terrorism. Now agencies can't prove that this is a likelihood, just a possibility, and yet the courts have sustained that argument. There is also the Glomar principle. It's named for a spy ship that went down in the Pacific. The federal agencies won't tell whether they have anything but they say that if we did have any documents, we would deny access. There's no in camera inspection, and judges let them do that.
In New York, so far, the courts have been more serious about agencies' obligation to meet the burden of defending secrecy. Not mere speculation, but actual harm. That's what the access to records law is supposed to be about.
The other huge issue that every agency is facing is that technology has outstripped our ability to deal with the law. In the era of paper, it was easy, you could find it or you couldn't. The ability to locate your documents would depend on the filing system.
There's a silly stupid example I use for that. You request a record in a government office, say you're looking at the phone directory. You want to see all the listings with the last name of Smith. Or LaVelle. Piece of cake! No problem, it's a valid request, and it would reasonably describe what you're looking for. They make you a copy of all the listings of LaVelles, and you go away satisfied.
Now say you go back the next week, being so happy with the listing for all the LaVelles, and now you say that you want to see all the Lauras. Well, gee! There are lots of them in there. It's not an uncommon name. But the agency can't find them without going through thousands of of listings, one by one, and they just don't maintain them by first name alphabetically. They are not required to go through the haystack to find the needle. And that's been the view of the Court of Appeals.
But now it's 2016, and we can find all the Lauras with a query in a database. And, we are obliged to do it. The difficulty in so many instances has involved the ability to extract thousands of records, especially in the context of emails! Can we find 9,000? If we do, someone has to read them, and it is burdensome and time consuming. The federal government and New York State, and every other state, are trying to figure out a way to effectively deal with it. No one has come up with a solution yet, but we are going to try.
So two big problems are the obligation of the government to make its case to withhold, and the technology outstripping the law. We have precise time limitations in the New York law for responding to requests. But when an agency is dealing with a voluminous request, the simple request has to stand in line, and the delays have an impact on all potential users. We'll get back to you in 2022…
And here's a third problem with our laws, for better or for worse: what do we do when they say no? We go to court! Well, going to court involves time, it costs money, and many people won't do it. That's what I often refer to as the Nancy Reagan response. Just say no! Go ahead, sue us. Make my day. Most people will not initiate a lawsuit. It's even true with news media organizations. It takes too much time and money.
And something else: the federal courts have looked at the exception regarding personal privacy very differently from the courts in New York. In general, public employees have less privacy than others. That's not quite true at the federal level. In New York, if you want, you can see my attendance records, my salary (it's not that much), and if I've been disciplined, that's public too. What are the qualifications for my job? That's public, and you can see whether or not I meet the requisite criteria. Equivalent records are being withheld under the federal act, though.
Why?
I don't know. Government can withhold records when disclosure would result in an of unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. But if there's such a thing as unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, there must then be permissible invasions of personal privacy. That's clear, as a public employee. People can know your salary, miniscule as it may be.
When I worked in government, occasionally I would get a cranky person on the phone yelling about something and saying that they paid my salary! (Of course, by that logic, I also paid my own salary!)
This office, the Committee on Open Government: it's one of the few offices of its kind. We do training, we answer calls. This past year we gave 88 presentations. We're pretty active. My belief is that there can be a great law on the books, but if there's no one to call for confirmation, to answer a question, or to offer guidance, the law is not going to work particularly well. Reporters call here all the time, and they often know the answer. They call me for the quote. And sometimes that's enough to encourage compliance.
If you could wave your magic wand and change something about the US legal system, what would you do?
Oh, that's impossible to answer! But…in consideration of so much that we hear about these days, so much about we surmise about the future, it seems that we have to ensure that First Amendment rights are treated seriously. I was heartened recently by an unexpected source. Trump said that everyone who burns the flag should go to prison. But Senator Mitch McConnell said that flag burning is an element of free speech and should be protected; he said that he agreed with the Supreme Court.
We don't know if the President-Elect will shut out the news media. Some of it relates to the Freedom of Information Act, and some of it is day-to-day activities commonly known to the media in the day-to-day work of the government. I'm concerned. Regarding the First Amendment, there have been comments made by this President-Elect that bear upon each element of it. Establishment of religion: let's keep the Muslims out. Free exercise of religion and freedom of speech. The right to peaceably assemble, and to petition the government for redress. Some of us were beyond disappointed regarding the outcome of the election. Some of us are fearful. And so many people in this country who may not be here legally but whose kids are born here are worried: what will happen? Can 11 million people be deported? It seems that it could not possibly be so.
It would certainly be hard to do.
Just logistically, it would be exceedingly difficult, not to speak of being foolish. What ever happened to "Give us your tired, your poor"? What ever happened? I don't understand how so many Americans forgot where they came from. We all came from somewhere (unless we're Native American) and in many cases it was not so terribly long ago. I'm a second generation American.
So am I, on my mother's side. My grandmother was Irish. I have roots that go back further on the other side…family trees are complicated things. But my husband is first generation. His father is from Italy.
These are difficult times. People are scared for good reason.
***
I think we touched on this before a bit, but what are the practical obstacles to compliance with open government laws? Expense, unfunded mandates, confusion?
I think expense is a big issue when it comes to using the law, especially when it comes to using the law on behalf of the average person.
There are other issues too, in many instances, political. Why do we have delays in disclosure? The desire for control. The need to avoid embarrassment, even though there is very little that creates lasting embarrassment.
I used to think when I worked on government that if something is so embarrassing that we don't want to make it public, that maybe we shouldn't be doing it.
Lots of public employees would be embarrassed to find themselves named in the press. But it's almost all forgotten in practically no time.
Are you familiar with what I call the love letter principle?
I don't think so.
This goes to the notion of embarrassment of government officials. Often when I speak, the crowd involves government employees and officials and I ask if people if they've ever received a love letter. Many have at some point, and when they do, they read it again and again, they consider every nuance and every possible meaning, and they may remember it until they die.
And what happens when a government official sees his or her name in the newspaper? They read that story like it's a love letter. They look at it over and over again, think about how much of it was right, if there was a tone they don't like, the reaction is–the reporter is out to get me! Well, in reality, the reporter was 27 years old, just doing his or her job, with no particular political agenda. The person who sees his or her name in print will remember it for a long time. The average reader will forget about it practically no time at all. We are so bombarded with news and information that the likelihood that something will stick is minuscule. Who was the Vice President under the first George Bush? People don't remember. We forget. My name is in print 200 days out of the year. But only one person cares. You know who that is?
You? Or your wife?
No! I don't care. And my wife certainly doesn't care. It's my mother! (All mothers are crazy.) The article's not about me. But if I'm quoted at the bottom of article, she'll tell me she read the article about me. I do TV interviews often, and I'm a walker, and I took the bus for years, and people stop me in the street. And they say, hey, I saw you on TV! And I ask what they think about what I said, and they tell me they don't remember what I talked about, but that I looked good! It doesn't mean very much.
***
How do you feel about non-government organizations taking on government work? I'm thinking of NYC, where I worked for years, and park administration being taken over by non-profits, and parent teacher organizations so large that they're funding staff positions at elementary schools, and business improvement districts taking over government services in certain locations…another layer of bureaucracy. I know at least in NY State under FOIL that FOIL applies to records "kept for" an agency but in practical terms, what does that mean for open government?
Well, the federal law doesn't define what a federal record might be. Who prepared it, what is its function? Those issues were resolved in 1978 in New York: we got lucky. Back then, high tech was an electric typewriter. There was no internet, no email. But under the law, the term "record" is defined to mean "any information in any physical form, kept or held by or for a government agency."
Due to that provision, the records that are not in the physical custody of government often fall within the Freedom of Information Law here. Privatization is not as significant an issue here in New York as it is elsewhere. There have been scandals recently involving not for profit corporations that carry out functions for SUNY (the State University of New York). Our advice has been that an entity created by SUNY is covered by FOIL. But to attempt to ensure that it be so, we are recommending that FOIL should include an entity with a board of directors with a majority appointed by government, and any entity created by government.
So things like public authorities?
Authorities are already covered. And BIDs are covered. In the case of local development corporations: some operate right out of out of City hall, and some are more like chambers of commerce. The courts have been in agreement with us on this.
***
I've heard from you before that Mexico has an excellent open government law. What could we or should we learn from Mexico in this regard?
It's interesting, I first met the Mexicans at a conference in Lima, Peru, right around the turn of the century. (I love to say that.) Seventy-five years of one-party rule were coming to a close, and reform-minded Mexicans were ready. They did a bang up job with a freedom of information law. I was stunned that in the first year of the law, 40,000 requests were made, and of them, 36,000 were made via email. The Mexican government put kiosks all over the country, and people tapped out their requests, sometimes one finger at a time, and they got the information they requested. They built information technology into their law. There's an obligation that they must accept requests via e-mail when they can, and transmit records via email when they can. We (New York) were the first state in the US to pass the same kind of requirement. Another critical element: the Mexican law includes an obligation that government engage in proactive disclosure. Documents need to be posted on line. We have caught up on that, and many agencies do that, but Mexico did it by statute.
A third point: the Mexican law created an agency known as IFAI, which is the oversight agency in Mexico. It functions like the Committee on Open Government; it does training, gives advice. But, it also has the power to decide. I've been invited to share my knowledge in Mexico on eight occasions, regarding their federal law and also regarding their state laws. (Like the US, each of the Mexican states has its own version of open government law.) The US State Department and several of the Mexican states have asked me to share my experience. Some feared that IFAI would be under the thumb of whoever was in power, but the commissioners were serious about their function and they've done a great job. You don't HAVE to go to court if you have a grievance. You can go to IFAI.
So it acts something like an Administrative Law Judge?
Yes. And their local laws are patterned on the federal act. And what so many Americans believe about Mexico is so far from the reality. Mexicans are not law- breakers or rapists. The ones I've met are well-educated forward-looking wonderful people. I wasn't there as a tourist, I was there in a different capacity.
I haven't spent much time in Mexico but I went to a wedding in Cuernavaca, a resort town outside of Mexico City, a few years ago. I was very impressed with how polite and patient everyone was considering the traffic getting in and out of town! New Yorkers aren't nearly so patient or so polite getting to and from the airports.
They have to be patient with the traffic in Mexico City—it's a way of life!

Does the proliferation of social media and the fracturing of the national audience worry you? When you talk of sunshine being a disinfectant, we presume that once we as a culture learn about corruption or bad practices that we will be appropriately outraged and make changes. But with the 24-hour news cycle and so much information available and fake news being so prevalent…do real scandals get ignored even when exposed? What happens if we pick up rocks and see what horrors lie beneath…and no one cares? (Or am I being too cynical?)
Terrific question. And you're leading me to something else. I do worry about social media. It is commonplace with my kids. My daughter is a twitter queen. She gets alerts on a variety of subjects. And sometimes they present information that is simply wrong. How do we distinguish between what is true and what's not? It's difficult to do that. When I speak to journalism students, I tell them that we need good young journalists more than ever before. We need accurate and objective information. Any idiot can establish a blog or a website. We don't know what is true and what is not.
I know quite a few people, many of them attorneys, who are making it a point these days to subscribe to the New York Times and the Washington Post to support good journalism. It costs money to produce good newspapers and if we don't pay for them, they may go away.
I really like reading the Economist. It's excellent. They don't pull any punches. And they have a good sense of humor. I appreciate the variety there.
I love the Economist. I really appreciate that they do attempt to be global. They cover the entire world.
I was just reading an article about a section of southern Brazil…a place I didn't know anything about.
Another thing I'm concerned about with social media is personal privacy.
***
On a happier topic, what is a book everyone should read?
I happen to love novels. You probably know the name Ann Patchett. She wrote Bel Canto a number of years ago.
Oh, that was the one about a hostage situation, right?
Yes, and she didn't identify the place, but it was Lima, Peru, at least I think so. Beautiful passages: it was a love story, it was political. It had lots of elements that I found to be really fascinating. Another, and I'm generally not a Stephen King fan, was 11/22/1963. It's fabulous. Stephen King did an immense amount of research, it's a what if, it's food for thought. And Philip Roth's novels are also terrific.
***
What is your favorite movie?
I don't watch a lot of movies. There is one TV show I think is really great, "This is Us." It's on Tuesday nights at nine. It touches on so much: race, advantage, sex, how to raise kids, even obesity. There is a great deal that you can glean from that series. I've been pleasantly surprised.
***
Can you tell us a joke?
I hear so many silly ones from my grandchildren these days. I don't remember them. I get musical requests. Bobby (that's what my grandchildren and my wife call me), "Shut up and dance with me!" My granddaughter, not yet five…I wash dishes and fold laundry (those are two of my jobs) and when I'm washing dishes I have the radio on. And at four and a half she says, this is one of my favorite songs: Uptown Funk! She's amazingly cute.
***
If you could go back in time and do one thing over, what would it be?
I don't know. I will say to you something I've said to many, many people. I don't know anybody who is more fortunate than I am. I've been here at my job for 42 years. It's a great job. I went to college in the late 60s, and there wasn't a peace march I didn't go to. This job is based upon idealism. Not many people in government get paid to be idealists. It's been an amazing job. I'm going on 70, and I feel like a kid most days. Married to the same woman for 44 years, three kids, all contributing members of society, five unusually adorable grandchildren. And now we're done paying tuition. I never made a lot of money, but I was lucky in my investments, and now we have more money then we ever dreamed of. Now we can spend. It's okay to blow $20. Or buy expensive shoes!
No regrets…what would I have done differently? Not a lot. You don't know where the path will lead. I was at the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown and thought I'd go into the foreign service. But there was no exam given that year, so I went to law school.
My wife and I exercise every day. We are very fortunate. We do things physically many of our peers won't approach. One of my daughters bought a house that we can see from our house. She has two kids, ten and five, and they've practically grown up in our house.
Aww, that's terrific. I hope you just keep on doing what you've been doing! What is the best advice you've been given?
It's interesting, my first real boss was Mario Cuomo, and I go back to something we discussed from the start. You do the right thing. I remember going to him with an issue. I was looking for a car. I met someone at a convention, someone who worked for Chrysler, who could make me a deal. By law, that would not have been a conflict of interest, it wouldn't have been a violation, in any way. I spoke with Mario Cuomo, who was then the Secretary of State. His advice was, if it doesn't smell good, don't do it. And I've lived by that advice for many years.
Most ethics laws are a crock. No one understands them, no one knows what it all means. They've been made to be so complex and have so many exceptions. We've seen in in New York that there's not a great deal of value there.
I haven't had much to do with the ethics people in New York State (which seem to be often reorganized and reconstituted). But in New York City, the Conflicts of Interest Board has always been great, in my experience. You call them up and you get a lawyer on the phone, someone smart and helpful. They do have a narrower focus, though; just conflicts, not all ethical matters.
Yes, and they have been consistent in staffing and perspective. They practice Mark Davies' kind of ethics. He sets the tone. When precedents have been established, it is hard to take them away.

What's something most people don't know about you?
My life has been an open book for an awfully long time! I don't know. Some people don't know that I'm old! I don't know to answer that. Hmm….to a lot of people, I'm a voice on the phone.
I'm pretty open. They don't know that my wife is a psychotherapist, she keeps me in line. I get a lot of attention, but all she does is save people's lives!
***
What's the biggest risk you've taken in life?
You know there were a couple of risks associated with this job. Years ago, probably longer ago than you would recall, Ed Koch was running for governor of New York.
I remember that! I was a kid but I do remember that.
He was mayor of NYC. He looked like a shoe-in, initially. His opponent in the primary was Lieutenant Governor Mario Cuomo, and Lew Lehrman was the Republican in the race. Koch gave an interview to Playboy Magazine. And when he was talking about upstate voters, he said that the women wore gingham dresses, and the men drove pick up trucks.
Hmm…got some people unhappy with that, then?
And, he kept recordings of his interviews in his offices. And of about fifteen hours of interviews, they only used about two hours for the story. Gannett Newspapers sent me a request for an opinion: they wanted to gain access to the Playboy tapes. Were they covered by FOIL? Very interesting.
And what was more interesting…I attended a news media event to give a presentation, and to receive an award. The candidates were invited. Everyone had read the Playboy interview, and Cuomo turned and looked at me and said—just wait until we hear those tapes! Koch's people were calling me, saying FOIL doesn't apply. Playboy said they include trade secrets and they can't be disclosed. I heard from Lehrman's people, they said they were going to be in court the day right after the primary looking for those records.
I wrote the opinion: to the Mayor, to the City, if you have them, they are records covered by FOIL, and the trade secret exception doesn't apply. Off the record comments with intimate personal information might fall under the personal privacy exception.
And then, an unpredicted event occurred. Mario won the primary, and everyone forgot all about the Playboy interview. No one cared! No one took it to court. But there was trepidation. Koch wasn't known for being kind. I would have been instantly out. I don't have a civil service job. I've been serving at the pleasure of seven governors.
Here's something else most people don't know: I retired and came back two days later. There's a completely valid reason for that. Due to a quirk in the New York State tier 2 of the retirement system, if I'd died suddenly, my wife would get no pension. So, I retired to protect her, and came back two days later. They rehired me. My new salary is the difference between what it was and my pension. And no one will read about that in the New York Post. I'm saving the taxpayers a bunch of money this way.
Here I am, knock on wood, and I don't see retirement coming. I don't get it. It's not an appealing picture to me.
***
Last but not least, is there anything you'd like to pitch, promote, or discuss?
There's one issue we didn't touch upon which I would like to bring to light…there's an awful statute on the books. It deals with public employees who have the most power over people's lives: Section 50-a of the New York State Civil Rights Law. It covers police and corrections officers and keeps their records confidential. If a police officer has engaged in misconduct, it is out of bounds. We have no right to know about it.
It makes no sense. They should be the most accountable, not the least. We have been pushing for an amendment or a repeal for a long time | eng | 2b50509b-af93-4ced-9c5b-a8acf47fcd0b | https://newswhistle.com/let-the-sunshine-in-our-qa-with-bob-freeman-committee-on-open-government/ |
How do they earn money?
Social media has given rise to a new generation of celebrities: influencers. These individuals who have built a loyal online community have become powerful players in the marketing world. He has found clever ways to capitalize on his influence. But how exactly do influencers make money?
Brand Partnerships and Collaborations
Brand partnership is one of the main sources of income for influencers. Brands recognize the influence of these content creators. They want to leverage their ability to reach and engage target audiences. Influencers are paid to promote specific products or services on their social media platforms. This can be done through sponsored posts, demo videos, contests or other forms of embedded content.
Brand collaboration can take many different forms, from simple endorsements to long-term partnerships. Some influencers are even asked to create exclusive collections of products in collaboration with brands. This gives them a profit from a share of the sales made. Partner contracts may also include benefits such as all-expenses paid travel, special events, and branded gifts.
It is essential for influencers to choose brand partnerships that align with their image and interest their audience. Transparency is also paramount: influencers must clearly disclose their relationships with brands. They should avoid promoting products or services that they do not actually endorse
social media advertising
Social media advertising is another source of income for influencers. Social media platforms such as Instagram, YouTube and TikTok provide advertising opportunities for content creators. Influencers can monetize their content by placing ads in their posts or creating sponsored videos. They are paid according to the number of views, clicks or engagements these ads generate.
Some influencers also use tools like Google AdSense to embed ads in their blog or website. This allows them to generate additional revenue through traditional online advertising. The most popular influencers can negotiate higher advertising rates due to their high reach and engagement.
influencer-specific products and services
Many influencers use their platforms to launch their own products or services. They leverage their notoriety and their relationship with their audience to develop a product. This could be clothing, accessories, beauty products, books, online training or consulting services. By selling these products directly to their followers, influencers can generate significant revenue while building their personal brand.
To be successful in selling products or services, influencers must build a strong connection with their audience. They must offer quality products that suit the interests and needs of their community. Building a strong brand and implementing effective marketing strategies are the keys to being successful in this business.
Membership and Discount Codes
Influencers can also earn money through affiliates and discount codes. They associate with businesses as affiliates and receive commission on sales made through their affiliate links or unique discount codes. It allows influencers to monetize their content while offering their audience special discounts on products or services they recommend.
Affiliate programs are common in industries such as fashion, beauty, fitness and travel. Influencers should choose affiliate partnerships that align with their niche and the interests of their audience. They must also be transparent about their relationships with affiliated brands and provide honest and genuine recommendations.
in conclusion
Influencers have been able to turn their online presence into a real profitable business. Through brand partnerships, social media advertising, influencer-specific products and services, as well as through affiliations and discount codes, they have diversified their revenue streams. They take advantage of their influence. However, it's important to note that it takes time, effort, and consistency to create quality content that can be monetized.
Influencers must also maintain a relationship of trust with their audience, taking care not to sacrifice their integrity for financial gain. Transparency and authenticity are the keys to maintaining the trust of their community. | eng | 346f80a0-1e9b-46e7-a823-597f900455f3 | https://blogbusiness.xyz/how-do-they-earn-money/ |
I'm no JAG, but I understand that many individuals can be tried in one Military courtroom simultaneously. Multiple courtrooms have been built on Guantanamo and a secure facility / community in Nuremberg has also been completed.
I've only been tracking it closely for about a year now and actually made a spreadsheet to "observe" what changes in an attempt to see a trend (if possible).
In January 2023, there were ~4,006 cases that were unsealed. Where exactly they went (which counties), I don't know. 🤷♂️ Another autistic anon that doesn't have a full time job would be better suited to research that.
Edit: To further clarify, the "unsealed" and Sealed remaining" almost always add up to the total sealed indictments that have been logged into the database.
My son's soccer club rents fields for practice from an expensive K-12 academy in Massachusetts. It's not too far from Cape Cod so most house prices are over $750k. I couldn't believe how many houses had pride signs, "Love is Love" BLM etc all over the place.
These people must be virtue signalling to their neighbors. It's the new way of "Keeping up with the Jones's ".
I've thought this also, BUT if the lower-level rubes that depend on the 4:00 am talking points to set the narrative don't know that the head of the snake has been cut off, would they dare to step out of line? Probably not since they may not know who's really in charge and are damned if they do and damned if they don't.
Thanks. My employer required everyone to get injected for the scamdemic, but I just ignored them.
I can't ignore it in this situation since the B!T@# on wheels that monitors all the compliance is drunk on her power trip. Plus my older boy dumped her drama queen granddaughter. She'd love to make an example of us before the administrators | eng | af8a9e28-d958-4490-b5ce-c3f21e2be1f9 | https://greatawakening.win/u/What-Me-Worry/ |
Angular Animations
Angular animations are a way to add motion and visual effects to your application. Animations in Angular are implemented using the @angular/animations module, which provides a declarative API for defining animations and applying them to components.
To use animations in Angular, you will need to import the BrowserAnimationsModule into your application module, and include the animations metadata in your component's @Component decorator.
In this example, we are using the animations metadata to specify the myAnimation animation that we defined earlier. We are also using a component property, state, to control the state of the animation.
To apply the animation to an element in the component's template, you can use the @myAnimation directive:
<div @myAnimation="state"> This element will animate when the state changes. </div>
You can also use the animation binding to bind the state of the animation to a component property:
<div [@myAnimation]="state"> This element will animate when the state changes. </div> | eng | a3c13c95-5aa6-4a7d-b8b3-5fcaebf137ed | https://www.sparkcodehub.com/angular-animations |
Can I Get VA Disability Benefits if Injured in Boot Camp?
August 7, 2019 Updated: August 25, 2021
What Are VA Disability Benefits?
VA disability benefits come in the form of monthly compensation paid to veterans who are suffering from service-connected conditions. A service-connected condition is one that resulted from military service, whether at boot camp or deployed, as determined by VA. Specifically, entitlement to service connection requires the following:
A current, diagnosed condition;
An in-service event, injury, or illness; and
A medical nexus linking the in-service event and the current, diagnosed condition.
After granting service connection, VA will assign a disability rating based on the severity of the condition. VA will combine each of your separate disability ratings together to establish your combined disability rating. Importantly, the amount of monthly compensation you receive depends on your combined disability rating who have a combined disability rating of 30 percent or higher may be eligible to receive additional compensation for qualifying dependents.
Who is Eligible to Receive VA Disability Benefits?
In order to qualify for VA disability benefits, a veteran's injuries or illnesses must have occurred or been aggravated during active duty military service. A service member on active duty is one who is in the military full-time, meaning they are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, may live on a military base, and can be deployed at any time. Importantly, active duty includes full-time training duty, annual training duty, and attendance (while in active military service) at a school designated as a service school. Essentially, the date you start boot camp or basic training, you are on active duty and therefore subject to service connection for any disabilities incurred.
Active duty service members cannot receive VA disability benefits while on active duty as they are not yet considered veterans. However, it is important to note that they can later receive benefits for events, injuries, and/or illnesses that occurred during any of the active duty circumstances described above (including boot camp). They can file for VA disability benefits 180 to 90 days prior to separation from service, or at any point following separation from service.
Another important factor in eligibility for VA disability benefits involves the veteran's type of separation or discharge status. There are several ways in which you can separate from service, including:
Honorable discharge
General discharge
Other than honorable conditions discharge
Bad conduct discharge
Dishonorable discharge
To qualify for VA disability compensation, you must have received any discharge status other than dishonorable.
VA Disability Benefits for Accidents Not Related to Combat
Again, service-connected compensation is available for all active duty injuries (including those that happened in boot camp) except those that resulted from willful misconduct or while AWOL (i.e. absent without official leave). Since you are considered to be on active duty for 24 hours a day, you can be service-connected for disabilities resulting from almost any type of accident or injury that occurs during that time, including:
While on leave;
While traveling to or from leave; and
While on base during off-hours
You are on active duty between the time you enlist and the time you are discharged or separated, regardless of whether you are on leave, on base, at boot camp or training, or in combat | eng | def94993-7cb1-4508-8cf5-6b614e4f7812 | https://cck-law.com/blog/VA-Disability-Benefits-Injured-Boot-Camp-non-combat/ |
Who's Hurting Black Girls in School?
Women in the Room Productions announced its premiere schedule for "Pushout: The Criminalization Of Black Girls in Schools, Friday."
The documentary aims to feature "a close look at the educational, judicial and societal disparities facing Black Girls," the film's website says. "Inspired by the groundbreaking book of the same name by renowned scholar, Monique W. Morris, Ed.D. The documentary confronts the ways in which the misunderstanding of Black girlhood has led to excessive punitive discipline which in turn disrupts one of the most important factors in their lives, their education."
Dr. Morris, the Founder and President of the National Black Women's Justice Institute (NBWJI), is a 2012 Soros Justice Fellow, former Vice President for Economic Programs, Advocacy and Research at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and the former Director of Research for the Thelton E. Henderson Center for Social Justice at the UC Berkeley Law School.
"Black and Brown girls continue to disproportionately experience harsh and exclusionary school discipline for incidents and behaviors that do not pose a critical threat to the safety of the learning environment," Morris said via an October 11 press release. "Many of these behaviors are fueled by experiences with trauma, much of which is under-reported for girls of color,"
Morris is both executive producer and co-writer of the film.
"Pushout" explores these aforementioned alarming disparities in treatment and outcomes between White and Black girls in school.
Citing 2018 Discipline Data for Girls in US Public Schools, Department of Education office for Civil Rights, study, Black girls are six times more likely to be suspended, four times more likely to be arrested, and two times more likely to receive corporal punishment.
"Pushout" premiered in New York City this weekend, and will continue to premiere across the country. The schedule includes dates in Richmond, Virginia (November 12), Atlanta, Georgia (November 13 and 14), and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (December 6).
The weekend premiere coincided with the "Black Girl Takeover" of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. | eng | a2fb5e50-0c50-4d7b-a0f6-25ccb3b7a27b | https://pushoutfilm.com/whos-hurting-black-girls-in-school |

Learn the Basics of Poker
Poker is a game of skill and chance has a very small role in the average hand. The skill that is involved lies in analyzing ranges, balancing bluffs, and the actions of other players. This analysis involves the use of computer software that provides a variety of analysis tools, including a hand history.
Game of skill
Poker is a game of skill and chance. Unlike other card games, where all outcomes are determined by chance, poker requires players to consider several factors before making a decision. These factors may include the strength of a player's hand and the odds of the hand improving. A player's perception of the other players may also play a role.
Although poker has been considered a game of chance by some courts, it is actually a game of skill. In Germany, for instance, it is legally considered a game of chance and is only played in casinos. However, it is classified as a game of skill when played in a tournament, where money is awarded to the winner. Similarly, a New York judge has ruled that poker is a game of skill.
Variations of poker
The game of Poker is a diverse one, with many different rules and variations. There are also many different stakes and betting options. There are even different versions of the game that can be played with more than ten players. Learning more about the different game variations can increase your overall knowledge of poker. These games are often played in online casinos.
Among the most popular poker variations is Texas Hold'em. Almost all online poker rooms offer this game. It's a community card game in which players attempt to create the best five-card hand possible. The game starts with each player receiving two face-down cards and then the dealer reveals the first three face-up cards. Once the flop is revealed, a second round of betting begins.
Limits of poker bets and raises
In poker, bets and raises are regulated by limits, which set the maximum and minimum amount of money a player can bet. There are four common types of poker betting limits: no limit, pot limit, fixed limit, and spread limit. Learn more about these limits and what they mean in poker.
In no limit and pot limit games, players must open action with a minimum bet, usually the big blind. For pot-limit games, players must raise at least as much as their previous bet, but not more than the previous bet. This means that a player cannot raise by only $2. Therefore, a player raising from $5 must raise by $7.
Ways to win
If you want to learn how to win poker, you must understand your opponents' strategies. The more you play, the better you will become at the game. If you play online, it is important to read other players' strategies to understand how they play the game. Different players will employ different strategies. This will help you defeat your opponents.
Whether you play online or in a land-based casino, you should always play on a legitimate website. Check out the terms and conditions carefully to make sure you are playing on a safe site. Also, always read the minimum bet limit. You must also set a budget for your daily playing. This way, you will know exactly how much you can spend daily on playing poker and avoid going over your budget. | eng | f5142955-7184-4628-8aec-2f7a273cb6f6 | https://irishemeraldrestaurant.com/learn-the-basics-of-poker-2/ |
Candidiasis is an infection caused due to the yeast named candida or also categorized as fungus. It is present in the different parts of the human body including belly, mouth, and on the skin. The yeast is dormant in the human body and can lead to candida infection at any stage in a person's life and is closely limited to immunity level of the person. There are different types of infections caused due to candidiasis such as thrush/ oropharyngeal candidiasis, genital yeast infection/ invasive infection, and cutaneous candidiasis.
The global candidiasis market size was valued at US$ 873.8 million in 2017, and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 4.6% over the forecast period (2018–2026).
Market Drivers
Growing incidence of invasive candidiasis is expected to drive growth of the global candidiasis market during the forecast period.
With growing number of invasive candidiasis and vaginal candidiasis cases and preterm birth is posing significant economic burden on patients. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2017, candidemia, a form of invasive candidiasis, was one of the most common bloodstream infections in the U.S., with an average incidence of around 9 per 100,000 cases between 2013 and 2017.Moreover, according to the same source, 2017, around 84% of the total healthcare cost and 48% of the hospitalizations for Candida infections were due to invasive candidiasis, where the average cost per hospitalization for invasive candidiasis was around US$ 64,723- US$ 153,090.
Furthermore, health complications pertaining candidiasis during and after pregnancy is expected to propel the global candidiasis is expected to propel the global candidiasis market growth over the forecast period. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2015, vaginal candidiasis was the second most common type of vaginal infection after bacterial vaginal infection. The CDC estimates that around 1.4 million outpatient visits for vaginal candidiasis occur annually in the U.S.
Moreover, increasing number of preterm births is expected to boost the global candidiasis market growth over the forecast period. According to the Kolling Institute of Medical Research, 2015, vaginal candidiasis can increase the risk of preterm births. Moreover, according to a survey by researchers from the University of Miyazaki in 2017, the incidence of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VC) during pregnancy is around 13–20% globally. Furthermore, according to the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, Italy, 2018, VC is estimated to be the second most common cause of vaginitis and is found in 40% of women with vaginal discomfort. VC can cause systemic infections in premature neonates, particularly those with low birth weight.
Market Restraint
Increasing adoption of alternative therapies such as over-the-counter treatment, boric acid capsules, and herbal treatments including probiotic supplements, tea tree oil, etc. for treatment of candidiasis is expected to hamper the global candidiasis market growth over the forecast period.
Market Opportunity
Continuous research and development activities for novel treatments can present lucrative growth opportunities
Key companies are focused on research and development activities, in order to develop innovative treatment options. For instance, in June 2019, microbiologists at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) demonstrated that combination of anti-fungal and anti-bacterial medications can effectively target multidrug resistant Candida auris. Similarly in October 2018, researchers at the American Society for Microbiology identified a compound alexidine dihydrochloride, which has the highest antifungal and anti-biofilm activity against a diverse range of fungal pathogens, thus having a greater potential for use as a pan-antifungal drug.
Major institutes and universities are focused on R&D activities related to candidiasis. For instance, on September 09, 2019, a team of researchers from Southmead Hospital, Bristol, in collaboration with Triticum Exploitatie B.V., tested the vulnerability of Candida albicans to honey and an MGH formulation (L-Mesitran) by evaluating five isolates from vaginal samples of symptomatic patients suffering from recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis.
In August 2019, researchers from Complutense University of Madrid developed fast-dissolving orodispersible films of amphotericin B for or opharyngeal candidiasis.

Addressing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) in the Christian School
The title of this article may have already stirred some emotional response in the reader—topics of diversity often do. As Christians, we can develop more understanding, compassion, and empathy for any group, while holding fast to our biblical worldview and Christian practice. In fact, I believe our faith in Christ encourages us to show God's love to all people, even if we disagree with them. There is a way to judge no one and love everyone without giving up our Christian values.
Another reason for a possible emotional response is that almost all people have some discomfort discussing topics of racism and would rather avoid it altogether. Most white people I have met, for example, become immediately defensive or evasive when the topic comes up. We tend to deny that racism remains in our society, which negates the experiences of people of color as well as other marginalized groups. That is exactly how I was before I opened myself to the possibility that racism and other prejudices might actually still exist in America. An African American friend of mine loved and cared for me enough to start me on a journey of discovery, which radically changed my understanding of the problem and of how to be part of the solution.
The Challenge
The challenge of discussing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) can be even more pronounced in Christian circles than in the general public, because we rightly believe that we are all created by God and that there is only one race—the Human Race. Verses such as Galatians 3:28 reinforce this: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." While this verse primarily expresses that there are no lesser or greater Christians based on background, it can be misinterpreted that cultural challenges are not present in the Body of Christ. We can incorrectly use verses like this and others to recuse ourselves from any serious examination of cultural problems affecting our school communities.
While we can agree that the Lord wants all people to live in harmony, He never said it would be easy. The Bible shows us the ideals of godly behavior, but we know that we often fall short of those ideals. I submit that appropriately addressing DEI in Christian schools is one of those areas in which we too often fall short. So much so that we seldom, if ever, directly address the topic. We must have the courage to get past our defensiveness and discomfort, so we can begin the process of identifying the problem and creating solutions in our own school communities.
Awareness
My experience as a leader of six Christian school systems has clearly shown me that we have a problem. I could cite multiple examples from each of those schools to illustrate this point, but I will share just one. As a superintendent, I invited the just-named valedictorian to my office to congratulate her for that honor and for receiving a full ride to Harvard. I asked her how her experience at our school—a large, highly respected Christian school in that area—had been. She told me that the education was good but that she had experienced consistent racism for the entirety of her time there. She experienced multiple racial slurs, was not accepted into social groups, was frequently asked to speak for her race in class discussions, and had students constantly and inappropriately touch her hair and ask how she treated it. While I knew that racism still existed, I had not been aware that this level of prejudice was present at our school. I asked why she never came to me about this, and she said that she had gone to teachers and principals before, but they had always told her that she was overreacting, so she gave up reporting anything. Instead, she decided to keep her head down and just get through school. I asked her parents to come in and they verified her story, and felt that many parents, staff, and teachers treated them with racial overtones as well. I deeply apologized, which they appreciated, but added that it came far too late for them.
Before you think I am unfairly picking on Christian schools, know that the problems we have are reflective of the larger society in which we live. You need look no further than the current headlines to realize that we still have a racial problem in this country. No matter what you may think of it, it is a problem. Any serious study of American history reveals patterns of oppression and persecution of certain groups that persist to this day even though sometimes in different form or degree. It is inaccurate to imagine our society, our schools, or ourselves as somehow completely free from all the prejudices, biases, and stereotypes of the past.
Mission-Driven Planning and Strategy
What do we do once we are open to the prospect that we can and should address DEI in Christian schools? The approach must be strategic, well planned, and mission driven. You may have someone in your school that is an expert, or you may need to consider engaging an outside consultant who is also a Christian. This will be a process, not a one-time event, and the approach should include:
Definition of terms and understanding of the issues
Multicultural training of all school constituencies
Cultural discovery of the self and others
Honest yet guided dialogue
Developing programs and approaches to systemically enhance DEI in your school
Connecting every step to biblical truth and the love of Jesus
One practical step I took was to develop an African American Parent Forum at the school I mentioned above. I thought no one might show to a meeting of this type led by a white superintendent, but 50 parents showed up for the first meeting. While tentative at first, they thanked me for being transparent, for giving them a forum to dialogue and for the concern I was showing them. This type of program and others can be created to interact and build mutual understanding and respect between all school constituents.
Challenging and Necessary
Addressing DEI in our Christian schools is challenging, yet necessary. At times it can be uncomfortable and sometimes messy, but it can be done sensitively, civilly, and with positive results. The mere fact of school leadership embarking upon a multicultural journey will speak volumes to your community. You will demonstrate the love of Jesus by showing concern for your neighbors of every background. You will not only create a healthier environment for all our constituents, but you will create growth and change in yourself in ways you may never have imagined.

8 recommendations for winter running
The days are getting shorter and the air is getting colder, but that doesn't mean you have to trade in the running trails for the treadmill.
Those that keep up their outdoor running through the chilly winter months tend to perform better come race season – and you can burn more calories just trying to stay warm too!
Instead of heading to a busy gym to run on the treadmill, the recommendations below may make it easier for you keep up with your routine and help you prepare for running outdoors this winter.
8 recommendations for winter running
1. Keep your head, hands, and feet covered
A significant amount of heat loss comes from our extremities. Opt for clothing that has zippers around the neck/underarms so that you can unzip if you get too warm. Hat, gloves, and even a face cover are a must for those bitterly cold runs!
2. Dress like it's warmer
You should be slightly cool when you start, but you'll get warmer as you run. Sweat too much and you might get a chill. Be sure to change clothes quickly after your run is complete so as to not get damp/cold.
3. Prolong your warm up/warm up indoors
At lower temperatures, it'll take longer to warm up your muscles and joints – give your body the time it needs to warm up to prevent injuries.
4. Wear the right shoes/socks
Wear ice grips over your soles for better traction on the ice, or if your budget allows, invest in a pair of studded winter running shoes. As for your socks, they should be warm but help to wick moisture away.
5. Choose a safe route
You probably know every inch of your favourite running route, but if it's not being plowed, salted, or sanded, it's probably not worth the risk. Stick to well maintained routes to minimize your risk of falling.
6. Make yourself visible
Motorists may not be expecting pedestrians on cold winter days. Depending on road conditions, they won't be able to stop on a dime. Wear reflective gear and a headlamp and stay alert during your run – even if it means going without tunes.
7. Bring a friend
It's hard enough sticking to a running routine when the weather is nice – don't let the frigid temperatures outside your frosted windows get you down. Commit to a schedule with a friend to keep up your motivation (misery loves company!).
8. Be ready to mix it up
All of these tips can help you pound the (frozen) pavement, but some days, the conditions will simply be too bad to go for a run. Be open to trying indoor exercises so you can maintain your fitness routine at home (i.e. stair climbing, HIIT exercises) or at the gym.
Winter running is a different beast entirely, but these recommendations will help you prepare to tackle it! Lace up, stay warm and safe, and keep running until the snow melts…eventually! | eng | 308f24f4-b0e9-4a73-b277-1b51ce601fc2 | https://www.lifemark.ca/blog-post/8-recommendations-winter-running |
Extemporaneous Presentation: Definition and Actionable tips
There are several forms or methods of speech delivery out there and it can be impromptu (with no warning, more improvisation required), or the most common case: extemporaneous presentations.
EXTEMPORANEOUS PRESENTATION DEFINITION
We need to define this properly and make sure people don't get confused here. Because from a literal sense extemporaneous and impromptu have the same exact meaning, the difference being that extemporaneous is an older term, both mean out of time, without preparation, ad-hoc, etc.
Now, here's the tricky thing: From a dictionary point of view, they're one and the same, but in the art/science of public speaking, they are taught as different things.
Extemporaneous, which comes from Latin ex tempore ("out of the time"), joined the English language sometime in the mid-17th century. The word impromptu was improvised soon after that. In general usage, extemporaneous and impromptu are used interchangeably to describe off-the-cuff remarks or speeches, but this is not the case when they are used in reference to the learned art of public speaking. Teachers of speech will tell you that an extemporaneous speech is one that has been thoroughly prepared and planned but not memorized, whereas an impromptu speech is one for which absolutely no preparations have been made.
In Short: an extemporaneous presentation is a form of speech delivery where the speaker is notified with some antecedence that he/she will be presenting, giving an opinion, or sustaining arguments about a particular subject, and usually, he/she prepares for it and brings some keynotes.
Here the speaker has time to prepare himself, he can have some notes as a reminder with him, but the audience does not expect them to be read. The speaker has to be spontaneous and deliver the speech with the soul, a more formal way of speaking because it is carried out using notes.
Extemporaneous Presentation or Speech Tips
This speech delivery method is significant because it follows the outline that usually comes from the notes we take; most of them come from our personal experience and research.
Even if we have a full manuscript or tons of notes, memorizing the speech is a bad idea the audience expects us to be prepared and know what we talk about, yet when we show up, our heart has the speak up.
One key thing that makes or breaks your extemporaneous presentation is the lack of planning, research, outlining, mastering the topic.
The extemporaneous presentation can happen in situations such as:
A business meeting or negotiation;
When delivering a press conference or an interview;
A school presentation;
A graduation or birthday speech;
A political debate.
A Training session with your Team at Work
Let's take this last scenario as an example…
Extemporaneous Presentation Example & Actionable Tips
Training Your Sales Team About a New Product
Say you have to deliver a 2hr training session to your sales team about the launch of a new product in the next 3 days
As we mentioned above, having a decent amount of background knowledge allows us to discuss any topic or question that can pop up from the audience.
Here are the steps you will take to ensure that you deliver a great extemporaneous presentation not one time, but more and more in the future.
A) Planning and Preparing an Extemporaneous Speech
Research all you can about the new product, the place where the training will take place, and the target customers of that product.
Prepare your Presentation Outline, based on key findings and most critical needs identified
Fill out the Deck or Slideshows with some of the pointers /features/pictures/or any relevant info about the product
Highlight the Pitch to be used to Convert many prospects
To connect with the audience and build engagement prepare a small session where the trainees can rehearse the pitch
Make sure you know your slides and the topic well enough to answer most questions fired at you
Prepare handouts if need be, and ensure you get feedback after your Presentation, and iterate on them for the next one
B) Delivering an Extemporaneous Speech
Start your speech with a Bang! It goes without saying that the opening of the speech or presentation is key to making an impact on your audience. Here, it could be something as simple as the results of your audience research and the astounding findings on the potential of sales…or, a great sales quote.
Tell Stories that are Relatable: In your research, you spoke to prospects, and you have got some real-life feedback on the product, and the challenges it may solve. Share those stories with the trainees.
Engage the Audience: Make sure to ask questions about how the audience feels they could sell the product and the challenges they'd face. Collect feedback and share your own thoughts and findings and ask for their feedback as well.
Posture and Confidence: You did all the preparatory work, you know your topic, and you really want to share some valuable insights and learnings with the audience. Stand proud of your work, and exude confidence – that builds trust in your teachings.
Ending an Extemporaneous Presentation: Make sure you voice the trainee's opinions, summarize them, highlight key learnings, key findings from your research, the expected number of sales, the commissions they'll earn, and end with a motivational quote on perseverance and success.
Here you have six characteristics of an extemporaneous presentation
Has a Script / Notes / Teleprompter and it is not expected to be used too much
Has a Specific topic of discussion
Delivered with very little notes
Performed after some preparation
Practical, clear, and somewhat improvised at times (not sticking to reading notes)
The speaker has some background knowledge on the topic
Conclusion
It is possible to be ready for surprises and unexpected events, in this case.
An extemporaneous presentation if we make our daily steps by choosing activities like reading, and surround ourselves with wise and creative people with helping us in a future extemp presentation.

Boffins ready air-to-fuel converter
A team at Sandia National Laboratories thinks it may have a new toy for generating a variety of fuels – including hydrogen, methanol, and even petrol and diesel – from thin air.
Dubbed the Counter Rotating Ring Receiver Reactor (or CR5) the device is designed to break the carbon-oxygen bond within carbon dioxide to form oxygen and carbon monoxide using concentrated solar energy. Okay, so it doesn't exactly make petrol from 'thin air', but bear with me on this one.
The original idea, as described by the brains behind the scheme Rich Diver, was to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen. The team soon realised that the same system could be used to break down carbon dioxide instead. Carbon dioxide and water are both by-products of the combustion process, so the scheme to take the waste products and turn them back into fuel has eco-warriors delighted.
The hydrogen and carbon monoxide the system recovers can be used as the starting block for synthesised versions of various fossil fuels which can then be used again and again in much the same way as we purify waste water for drinking. The system isn't lossless, of course, but anything which gives us a bit more bang per gallon of crude has to be a good thing.
The fuels created using the system would be carbon-neutral and, wonder of wonders, work in existing engines (including generators and vehicles) without the need for any modification.
The team is currently putting the finishing touches to the prototype, having already proven the science works well enough to be practical. Sadly for anyone who fancies telling people they run their car on 'sunlight and air', the technology is probably about ten to fifteen years away from commercialisation: by which time we'll certainly need it.
A more likely way to turn sunlight into energy than solar cells, or are you going to rely on old-fashioned pedal-power to keep the lights on when we run out of oil? Give us the skinny over in the forums. | eng | 10530c0a-83de-4027-a9eb-ab9f40d2eae5 | https://bit-tech.net/news/boffins_ready_air_to_fuel_converter/1/ |

Updates in the Field of Climate Change and Health
Updated: Jun 8, 2020
Regardless of political views, everyone can agree that good health is preferable over illness and disease. In order to live a healthy life, most of us know that we should exercise, eat a nutritious diet, and try to avoid excess stress. However, it may come as a surprise that climate change has the potential to negatively affect human health in a variety of ways. Indeed, the Lancet Medical Journal has gone so far as to label climate change the biggest global health threat of the 21st century (1). Shake Up the Establishment has already provided a great introduction to the links between climate change and health which can be accessed here (2). The purpose of this article is to highlight a few recent publications and news events related to this topic, particularly in a Canadian context.
Building on their landmark 2018 report on health and climate change (1), the Lancet Countdown released an updated report in November 2019 focused on "ensuring that the health of a child born today is not defined by a changing climate" (3). Under a 'business as usual' framework of global carbon emissions, a newborn child will face the catastrophic implications of a world whose temperature has risen by more than 4°C (above the pre-industrial average). Keep in mind that this estimate refers to a child who is born today. Children of future generations could experience even greater risks, coupled with the reality that younger individuals are disproportionately vulnerable to many climate-related threats, including undernutrition, diarrhoeal disease, and air pollution.
According to this latest report from the Lancet Countdown, humanity is at a fork in the roads where our (in)action now (and in the near future) will put us on one of two pathways: Either we'll prevent a global temperature increase of 2°C (and ideally remain well below this point), or we won't. Striving for 1.5°C, with an 'acceptable' ceiling of 2°C degrees, is at the core of the Paris Climate Agreement (4). However, it's important to remember that any incremental degree of warming contributes to a worsening of climate-related events, the impacts of which are not proportionately distributed. For instance, Indigenous peoples in the Canadian Arctic are already experiencing dramatic changes in their homelands due to accelerated warming conditions (5,6).
The 2019 Lancet report also provides a summary of updated evidence on 41 indicators across 5 categories, all of which are relevant to humanity's 'choice' of pathway as we enter a new decade in the fight against climate change. Some key indicators from the Lancet Countdown were further distilled into a policy brief for Canadians (7) with assistance from Canadian Medical Association and the Canadian Public Health Association. First, it should not come as a surprise that Canadians have faced increased exposure to wildfires, resulting in serious concerns for our collective health, safety, and wellbeing. Second, transportation in Canada remains largely powered by fossil fuels (with some promising developments in electricity and biofuels), and there exists great opportunities for investments in sustainable and active transportation (public transportation and cycling infrastructure being prime examples). Third, healthcare services around the world emit large amounts of greenhouse gases, thereby inadvertently contributing to the health impacts of climate change. The policy brief points to a 2018 study which concluded that carbon emissions solely from the Canadian healthcare sector account for 4.6% of our national total!
While structural changes are needed to decrease the carbon footprint of the medical community, it's promising that future generations of Canadian physicians are increasingly aware of the links between human health and the health of the planet. The Health and Environment Adaptive Response Taskforce (HEART), a subgroup of the Canadian Federation of Medical Students, recently evaluated the planetary health education provided by all 17 medical schools in Canada to identify areas for improvement (8). Including more content on climate change would ultimately help physicians better understand, and subsequently address, the impacts of environmental changes on the health of their patients and communities.
Another group currently active at the nexus of climate and health is the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment (CAPE). In January 2020, CAPE released a detailed report (9) entitled 'Fractures in the Bridge: Unconventional (Fracked) Natural Gas, Climate Change and Human Health'. This report highlighted numerous concerns associated with the use of fracking to extract unconventional natural gas and oil reserves (i.e. where extraction cannot be accomplished via vertical well bores), including negative health outcomes, effects on nearby (often Indigenous) communities, and contributions to climate change. Among other recommendations, CAPE called for a Canada-wide moratorium on any new development of unconventional natural gas and oil reserves via fracking.
Many Canadians will be aware of the debate surrounding the proposed Teck Frontier Oil Sands Mine in Alberta, and this is another issue on which CAPE has been actively outspoken. In February 2020, CAPE, along with over 175 medical experts as co-signatories, submitted a letter to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Jonathan Wilkinson (Minister of Environment and Climate Change) regarding this project's approval (10). These health experts called on the federal cabinet to "reject Teck to protect children's health", and they were not alone in their plea; dozens of Nobel prize winners published a letter in opposition to the Teck mine, claiming "projects that enable fossil-fuel growth at this moment in time are an affront to our state of climate emergency" (11). On February 23, Teck officially withdrew their regulatory application for the Frontier project (12). This was viewed as a success by the organization Indigenous Climate Action, whose 'Reject Teck' campaign voiced strong concerns over the implications of the Frontier mine for Indigenous communities and the environment (13).
A lot has happened over the past few years in the sphere of climate change and health, and the examples provided in this article represent only a handful of noteworthy publications and developments. Children's health is a common theme of this work as we consider the potentially devastating impacts that increasing global temperatures will have on future generations. In line with this thinking, the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the Lancet recently published a commission entitled 'A future for the world's children?' which "presents the case for placing children, aged 0–18 years, at the centre of the SDGs [Sustainable Development Goals]" (14). Regardless of partisan affiliations, the health of children (and all of humanity) is something that should unite Canadians as a strong motivator for serious climate action. During the next cycle of elections, let's remember what's at stake and vote accordingly. | eng | 2188705c-2563-494b-aad7-b01212655001 | https://www.shakeuptheestab.org/post/health-climate-change |
Top Interesting Facts about Mary Shelley
2. Mary Shelley was only 18 when she wrote Frankenstein..., 3. Frankenstein Is Considered One Of The First Early Examples Of Science Fiction., 4. Mary Shelley's Mother Was A Feminist, Which Influenced Her Writing., 5. Mary Shelley Wrote More Than Just Frankenstein., 6. Mary Shelley was born to infamous parents, 7. Mary Shelley ran away from home at 16. A goth icon, Mary Shelley wrote the famous horror book Frankenstein. She depicted the most gruesome settings in her literature, wrote about the evils of humanity, and led a mysterious, tragic life. There is more to her story than just being the author of Frankenstein, as some people may only be familiar with. Here are a few interesting facts about Mary Shelley you might not be aware of!
Mary Shelley Was Inspired To Write Frankenstein For A Ghost Story Challenge During "The Year Without Summer."
Percey Shelley and Mary Godwin (at the time) came to Geneva, Switzerland for the summer of 1816 despite the miserable weather. There, Lord Bryon, who was touring with John Polidori, his doctor at the time, was encountered by Percy, Mary, their son William, and Mary's stepsister Claire. They discussed personal philosophies and the origin of life throughout the dismal summer days, according to the British Library.
Lord Bryon then suggested one day that they all create ghost stories to exchange with one another. "I busied myself to think of a story", Mary Shelley wrote in the opening to Frankenstein. "One to make the reader dread looking around, to make the blood curdle, and to quicken the heartbeats – one to speak to the mysterious anxieties of our nature and arouse exhilarating horror. I would not be able to call my ghost story a ghost story if I did not succeed in doing these things".
Mary Shelley was inspired to write her most famous horror novel, Frankenstein, which would be read for many generations to come thanks to the ghost story competition and the depressing atmosphere of their summer. This is one of the interesting facts about Mary Shelley.

Mary Shelley was only 18 when she wrote Frankenstein…
When reading Frankenstein, it's simple to think that the book was written by a more experienced, more senior author. Mary Shelley was only a teenager when she actually wrote it which is an interesting fact about Mary Shelley. She wrote it in response to Lord Byron's challenge to her to write a ghost story while they were vacationing in Switzerland. Lord Byron is a fellow author and a close friend.
Frankenstein, however, did not enjoy quick popularity; it was turned down by three publishers until the Lackington Company decided to publish it. It was released in early 1818 with an unidentified author listed. It would be another five years before Mary Shelley's name appeared beside the renowned Gothic novel. Readers who like the gothic moral story of Dr. Frankenstein and his monster quickly adopted Frankenstein as one of their favorites.
Numerous reviews that were written after the book's initial release attacked the plot, with one written in 1818 by John Wilson Croker claiming that the book "inculcates no lesson of conduct, manners, or morality; it cannot mend, and will not even amuse its readers unless their taste has been deplorably vitiated." Nevertheless, despite criticism from certain reviewers, Frankenstein was a big hit with readers at the time who adored the gothic tale that swiftly became a classic work of literature.

Frankenstein Is Considered One Of The First Early Examples Of Science Fiction.
Mary Shelley had a nightmare one gloomy night when she and her companion were cooped up in their summer villa with nothing to do but read poetry and discuss ideas with one another. She stated in her author's introduction that Victor Frankenstein was a dream of hers. The horrifying monster is standing by his bedside, opening his curtains and staring at him with yellow, watery, but curious eyes. "He sleeps, but he is woken.
When Mary Shelley awoke, she felt impelled to continue her story and announce to her readers, "I have discovered it! Others will be startled by what frightened me; all I have to do is describe the apparition that had been haunting my pillow at midnight.
People have regarded Mary Shelley as the originator of science fiction ever since Frankenstein was released and readers flocked to read the gothic horror tale about a scientist who uses galvanization to generate new life.
Frankenstein is "the best-known fiction of the Romantic age," according to the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, and is one of the oldest works of science fiction in recorded history, a point that has been disputed by numerous readers over the decades.

Mary Shelley's Mother Was A Feminist, Which Influenced Her Writing.
It's crucial to recognize the significant influence Mary Wollstonecraft had, even though Mary Shelley was unable to know her because she passed away after giving birth. In her book, A Vindication of the Rights of Woman, the philosopher and writer Mary Wollstonecraft argued that women must get an equal education if they are to advance in society.
While it's possible that these two significant women—each in their own right—couldn't have coexisted, it's obvious that Mary Shelley came from an intellectual family unafraid of challenging social conventions. At a time when women were stigmatized for writing about the more sinister aspects of life, this might have inspired her to create Frankenstein.
Despite growing up without a mother in her childhood, Wollstonecraft's writings had a strong influence on Shelley's writing and ideas because she devoured and relentlessly studied them. Shelley also had no idea that decades later, she would use the abilities and natural aptitude her literary parents had endowed her with to produce one of the most important and timely works of horror sci-fi literature ever produced: Frankenstein, the Modern Prometheus. It is therefore strange that the portrayals of women in Shelley's first book and Wollstonecraft's forceful critique of the misogynistic culture of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Europe could not be more dissimilar.
Shelley portrayed her women as meek, obedient, and dependent on the dominant male narrative, in contrast to Wollstonecraft's arguments for educational equality and female freedom. A thorough reading of Frankenstein, however, reveals how Shelley deftly crafted the stories and characters of these women to actually further the feminist messages Wollstonecraft left behind, rather than to disregard them, quelling the curiosity of this thematic paradox.

Mary Shelley Wrote More Than Just Frankenstein.
Mary Shelley wasn't just an overnight success. Mary was not only a very motivated and prolific writer, but she also enjoyed experimenting with different genres and wrote a lot more than simply the renowned Frankenstein.
Mary Shelley wrote several other books throughout her career that readers might not be aware of, even though she is best known for creating the classic Frankenstein. The historical fiction book Valperga, written by Mary Shelley in 1823, follows Castruccio Castracani as he invades an imaginary country ruled by euthanasia. Contrary to the plot of Frankenstein, Castruccio forces Euthanasia to choose between her love for him and her love for her home, Valperga, throughout the course of the narrative.
Her works include the historical fiction novel Valperga and the post-apocalyptic novel The Last Man, the latter of which, in a twist that may be most pertinent to the year we are currently experiencing, explored a world where the population had been wiped out by a fatal plague. An end-of-the-world science fiction book that imagines a world where a plague would obliterate humanity. Lodore, a book she also authored in 1835, was very different from her other works because it focused on the roles that women play in families and society. Mary, although having a pretty scandalous personal life, worked closely with Percy Shelley and Lord Byron on their writings and dedicated herself wholeheartedly to her writing career.

Mary Shelley was born to infamous parents
Another interesting fact about Mary Shelley is that she was born on August 30, 1797, to the feminist author and activist Mary Wollstonecraft and political theorist William Godwin. Mary was destined to have a pretty distinctive personality. Only 12 days after Mary's birth, her mother passed away, yet Mary spent countless hours reading her mother's feminist literature and visiting her cemetery.
William Godwin, her father, was an outspoken opponent of aristocratic privilege and an advocate of anarchy and utilitarianism. The pamphlet An Enquiry Concerning Political Justice and the book Things as They Are; or, The Adventures of Caleb Williams are among his most well-known writings. St. Leon: A Tale of the Sixteenth Century, another intriguing book by Godwin, tells the story of a French aristocrat who learns the key to life's immortality. Although St. Leon isn't widely read today, many scholars think its concepts impacted Shelley's writing of Frankenstein.
Both parents led unconventional lives that would have been unorthodox today. They were adamantly opposed to the institution of marriage, had several partners throughout their lives, and frequently wrote surprising things. Being raised in such a setting had a significant impact on Mary Shelley's development as a female author in 19th-century England.
A fantastic intellectual challenge for Mary Mary did not have a formal education, but she was exposed to a lot of intellectual stimulation from a young age. In fact, her father's home served as a gathering place for notable thinkers, authors, and poets like William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge. She reportedly used to hide behind a sofa as Coleridge read aloud his poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner as a little girl. This poetry had a significant impact on her novel Frankenstein, or The Modern Prometheus.

Mary Shelley ran away from home at 16
It should not be surprising that Mary grew up to be a feisty and extremely independent young woman given her odd parents. So much so that when she was 16 years old, she made the decision to flee her house with a married guy! As a student of Mary's father, William, Percy Shelley was one of the young intellectuals who frequently visited the Godwin home.
Young Mary Godwin piqued Percy's interest, and he was soon smitten by her passionate and astute character.
Godwin tried everything he could to keep Percy and his daughter apart once Percy confessed his feelings for her to him. He was anxious that if Mary left with a married man, not only would her reputation and future possibilities be wrecked, but that his other two daughters, Fanny and Jane, would not receive any marriage proposals. Contrary to her father's desires, Mary nevertheless trudged off with Percy and her sister Jane to France and eventually to Switzerland | eng | 0cdb0818-4154-4b3e-8c9c-3720d67443b7 | https://top-list.co/top-interesting-facts-about-mary-shelley-v749.html |
MJ, welcome. That's a tough question to answer, even with pics. I always encourage people to research/learn about color selection on their own, just as I encourage learning to paint without tape. Life is about learning, and your outcome will be that much more rewarding when done. Asking a question like that in a forum will only produce a stream of random color options, but will still leave you with the final decision, which is really where you're hung up. It takes a bit of time, but it's really not as complicated as most people think/dread. Find some information on the color wheel and info on color schemes, about how colors work together. Learn about terms like monochromatic, analagous, complement, split complement, etc. Once you have that basic understanding, it's really just a matter of plugging colors into the formulas. And, since the floor/wall pairing is just one aspect of decorating, you'll have the basics for choosing all the other elements of interior design, window treatments, area rugs, artwork, decor, etc. To start, go to a Benjamin Moore outlet. IMO, they do the best job of teaching how to pair colors, and have the best instructional material. And, many have decorators on staff. They also have large 2 foot sqaure color samples that you could lay out on the floor. If they don't have colors you like in that size, get some samples and poster board and make your own. Reaching color conclusions on your own will be more fun, more rewarding, and you'll feel a greater sense of independence, rather than leaning on the opinion/suggestions of people who don't know you or your tastes. Good Luck.

The New Immune Therapies for Cancer: A Scientific American Article
Immune therapy offers the best new hope for the treatment and cure of many cancers. Immunotherapy is the most recent treatment to arrive in the long history of attempts to treat and cure cancers. Surgery came first, described by the Egyptians and later the Greeks. Radiation therapy followed, beginning in the early 1900s. Chemotherapy, the major form of cancer treatment today, arrived mid century, in the 1950s and 60s.
I remember from my early days at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute at Harvard the constant discussions and hope that immune therapy might one day become a reality. I was privileged to create the company, Dendreon, that launched the first approved immune therapy for cancer, Provenge, for the treatment of prostate cancer. Our approach is described in Scientific American as a dendritic cell vaccine.
Immunotherapy has made dramatic strides in the recent past. Two new types of immune therapy have arrived. One type of new treatment stymies the ability of cancer cells to protect themselves from destruction by the body's own immune system. To grow and survive, cancers must evade the body's natural immune response. Check point inhibitors restore the ability of the body's immune system to kill cancer cells. Several such drugs are now approved. These drugs are proving to be active against many types of cancers that were previously resistant to traditional therapies.
A third approach relies upon modified immune cells to kill cancer cells. The immune cells are modified outside the body so that when they are injected back into the bloodstream, they find and kill the cancer cells. This therapy goes by the awkward name CAR-T Cell Therapy.
These are just the first approaches to what, in my opinion, is the biggest advance in cancer treatment in decades. It has come none too soon for the generation of baby boomers who are just now entering the risk time of life for cancer. There is now hope for most of us.
If you or your loved one have cancer, or have recently been diagnosed with cancer, you should ask what immunotherapy is available.The therapies are new, still only available in specialized centers. Do not take no for an answer. Be persistent. Immunotherapy may save your life and the lives of those you love.

State Panel Approximates $569 Billion In Reparations Is Due To Black Residents
A task force in California conducted a study on the long-term effects of slavery and systematic racism on black residents there. It was found that $569 billion in reparations is due to the descendants of those who were enslaved.
The panel that involved 9 people found that black Californians whose ancestors were in the U.S. in the 19th century are owed $223,200 each because of housing discrimination in 1933 to 1977.
This possible payout is shown to be the biggest reparations campaign in recent history. In 2020, the mission of the Reparations Task Force was created by legislation and received Gov. Gavin Newsom's written approval.
The task force aims to decrease the wealth gap between white and black Californians.
A record of housing discrimination against black Californians entails a great amount of the compensation that the panel suggests. Many Black communities had been paid out or taken because of imminent domain in order to be disconnected to infrastructure programs, the panel noted.
The government would usually offer black homeowners less money than what they bought their homes for and made them leave.

Not only that, the panel reviewed four different locations, including a grand amount of incarcerations, unlawful property seizures, and the deterioration of black companies and health care.
However, the nine-person panel, who have performed interviews and gathered data, can only make suggestions to the state.
The California legislature must determine what to do with those suggestions and if they should offer political support and money to offer reparations to the descendants of the enslaved people.
The panel is also determining how reparations could be given out. The choices include direct cash payments, or tuition and housing grants, reports indicate. | eng | 15bdf593-b319-4fbf-9fd6-fe2081ee66de | https://trendingcrime.com/state-panel-approximates-569-billion-in-reparations-is-due-to-black-residents/ |

Why Cavities Can Be Hard to Spot On Your Own
Cavities, those pesky little dental problems that can wreak havoc on your teeth, are not always easy to spot on your own. Despite our best efforts at oral hygiene, cavities can still develop and grow unnoticed until they become painful or cause more significant dental issues. This month, we will explore the various reasons why cavities can be challenging to detect, why some individuals are more prone to cavities than others, and the role of regular dental check-ups in cavity prevention.
1. Causes of Cavities:
Cavities, also known as dental caries, form when bacteria in your mouth feed on sugary and starchy foods, producing acids that erode your tooth enamel. Poor oral hygiene, inadequate brushing and flossing, and a diet high in sugars are common culprits for cavity formation. However, these are not the only factors at play.
2. Individual Susceptibility:
While oral hygiene is essential, genetics can also influence your likelihood of developing cavities. Some people naturally have stronger enamel, making it more challenging for cavities to take hold. Saliva plays a significant role as well, as it helps to neutralize acids and re-mineralize teeth. Individuals with dry mouth conditions or certain medications that reduce saliva production are more prone to cavities.
3. Beyond Hygiene:
Besides hygiene and genetics, other factors can contribute to cavity formation. These include habits like teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism) that can wear down enamel, as well as chronic conditions like acid reflux, which exposes teeth to stomach acid. Even misaligned teeth can create nooks and crannies where bacteria can hide, making it harder to maintain proper oral hygiene.
4. The Importance of Regular Dental Check-Ups:
Regular visits to your dentist are crucial in catching cavities early. Dentists can use X-rays and clinical exams to identify cavities that might be invisible to the naked eye. Moreover, they can assess your risk factors, offer personalized advice on oral care, and provide treatments such as dental sealants or fluoride treatments to strengthen your enamel.
Additionally, mineralization is the process of replenishing minerals in your tooth enamel, making it stronger. On the flip side, cavitation occurs when acids demineralize your enamel, creating a hole or cavity. Regular dental check-ups can help monitor these processes, ensuring that your teeth remain healthy. By understanding the various causes and risk factors, as well as the importance of regular dental visits, you can stay one step ahead in cavity prevention.

It's Saturday, England whupped the Aussies in the Third Test yesterday, and I've just been out and bought a load of fiction to read on my holiday in a week's time. To celebrate all that, here are two GIFs, both from science folk on Twitter. The first, via Ed Yong, shows the aurora from the ISS the second, via Adam Rutherford, shows Papal Pong (make sure you have the sound on).
(14 seconds in) So, it's a Star Wars (the New Trekkin' Generation) take on things. (I may be out of date on the re-namings of the series.) And let me guess, Jar-Jar Binks – the most hated anthropoid in cinema history – takes the white smoke?
[Resumes watching] Who on earth are the people with candles in their hats?
There are some very peculiar people about.
Oh, God. I was just watching the introductory parts of "Dune", the movie, and the description and appearance of characters in "A New Pope" were dead-on ringers for the actors in the film. Once thing is certain, they both involve plenty of imaginative fiction.
The first is indeed an image in GIF format (however you choose to pronounce it).
The second is, like Grania's Earth reentry example, a looped MP4 video.
So if we've now reached the point where GIF is no longer just the proper name of a specific file format, but may legitimately refer to any short looped video, regardless of file format, then it seems to me we're well beyond the scope where prescriptions on pronunciation apply. Undirected linguistic evolution has taken over, and may the fittest pronunciation survive.
ISS orbits well below the van Allen belts and is shielded by the Earth's magnetic field. Auroras happen at the poles where the field lines are near vertical and the van Allen belts intersect the atmosphere.
While they do travel fairly close to the beams of electrons and protons that come down from he Van Allen Belts to form the auroras, they're normally a good distance south of the main path. Plus, beta particles (electrons) are not particularly penetrating radiations. Protons, a bit more so, but as Bender would remind us, we're sacks of dirty water, and all that hydrogen is pretty good at scattering protons before it gets much more than skin deep, so not a huge concern their either.
Astronauts do have to monitor their radiation exposure, but aircrew on over-the-pole routes probably get hit worse. I believe that airlines have in the past been threatened with having to put radiation monitoring dosimeters on their regular crew, and opted to change rosters to reduce exposure rather than have the PR debacle of having staff wearing dosimeters explain to customers why it's perfectly safe. | eng | 04156433-e99b-4819-b0c9-50a780980b63 | https://whyevolutionistrue.com/2015/08/01/two-gifs-pronounced/ |
Clark County, located in the central part of Wisconsin, has a rich history dating back to the early 1800s. Here are seven interesting facts about Clark County's history that you probably didn't know:
1. Named After Two Governors
Clark County was named after both William Clark and James Clark, who were both governors of the Missouri Territory and famous explorers. William Clark was also known for his role in the Lewis and Clark Expedition, which mapped out the western region of the United States.
2. Logging Industry
One of the most significant industries in Clark County's history was the logging industry. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, the county was one of the largest lumber producers in the country. The industry employed thousands of people and had a significant impact on the local economy.
3. Clark County's Origin
Clark County was formed in 1853 from the eastern portion of Chippewa County. The county's early settlers were primarily of Norwegian and German descent, with a few English, French, and Irish settlers as well.
4. County Seat
Neillsville, the county seat of Clark County, was named after James O'Neill, who founded the town in 1845. Today, Neillsville is a small but thriving community, with a population of around 2,400.
5. Historic Buildings
Clark County has several historic buildings, including the Dewhurst Hotel, which was built in 1870 and is still standing today. The hotel was a popular destination for loggers in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The Clark County Courthouse is another historic building, built in 1907 and still in use today.
6. Clark County's Population
As of 2021, Clark County's population is estimated to be around 34,000. It is interesting to note that the county's population has been steadily declining since the 1970s, with many people moving away in search of better job opportunities.
7. Agriculture
While the logging industry was once the backbone of Clark County's economy, agriculture has taken its place in recent years. The county is known for its dairy farms, and it is home to several cheese factories and milk processing plants.
In conclusion, Clark County has a diverse and fascinating history that has shaped the area into what it is today. From logging to agriculture, from historic buildings to famous explorers, there are many interesting facts about Clark County that you probably didn't know. Whether you're a local or a visitor, it's worth taking the time to learn more about this unique part of | eng | c1657890-35b9-404c-b99f-d61d291b5cf7 | https://www.tfdsupplies.com/blogs/local-historical-events/7-interesting-facts-about-clark-county-wisconsin |
Are We Stealing History II: The Price Of Privacy
We are not cavemen because our ancestors passed down information so we would be better off than they were. If they had not, we would still be cavemen.
In 2016, I had to read The Letters of Tolkein for a class. I read all those letters, which gave me a peek into his time. I read his personal letters to his son and his wife. He talked about the second world war too. I hope to someday purchase that book just to preserve history for people to come.
Will people have the same privilege 60 years later? Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Telegram will likely not exist by then. They will not be able to read conversations that happened during the two years of corona and now the Russia-Ukraine conflict, because these exchanges happened and are happening on social media, emails, and chat services.
Think of what happened when Orkut and Experience Project shut down. Every conversation that happened there was erased forever. No man in the history of mankind will ever find out what worries, issues, excitements people expressed and talked about on these platforms. Think of My Space. The website still exists, but people have abandoned it. Millions of conversations that happened are now locked behind passwords and will be forever erased when the service shuts down. Here's a related article about a man who tried to access his old Myspace. This is the fate of every social network and every email service.
200 hundred years down the line, people who want to know what happened in the decade of 2020s will have a hard time. They won't be able to read letters like we do about events that happened in the past. All worries, excitements, pains and sorrows that were expressed will remain locked behind a password until eventually erased. Can we really afford this?
Humans will collectively pay a massive price for privacy. Letters were private, but they were not as private as digital communications. Digital communications can only be accessed by the password holder. Once he dies, it is over forever.
In order to preserve history for our descendants, we will have to print everything out, which brings me to the same old question: why then do we communicate online if we will eventually have to print everything off? | eng | bbd47c1b-f8e2-4d8f-9b07-454140ff1772 | https://www.philosophicallyinclined.com/are-we-stealing-history-ii-the-price-of-privacy |

The phenomena of Microservice technology.
The phenomena of Microservice technology.2018-09-052022-11-01 Networks
Two pilots, working together and going through a long list of procedures to start-up an engine of a 180-186 seated Airbus plane, thats getting ready to departure to Dubai, UAE. How do they do it?
Whether it's a piston engine or a turbine engine, the process is roughly the same as starting your car. The difference is that, pilots ensure that they have an ignition source (spark), then they get the engine spinning, but before introducing fuel, one of the pilots monitors the instruments (gauges) of the plane to ensure that the flow of air is not moving front to back the ignited gases, as it could flow in the wrong direction, with catastrophic results. That's why pilots have to ensure that the engine is spinning at a certain minimum level and is getting the right air flow in the right direction.
Each pilot is working on a function and each function in the system has a role to start up these big engines.
What about PureCloud?
PureCloud, is different from planes, as they aren't a monolithic system in which stability requires each component to function perfectly. It's rather built on Microservices, where each function in your call center works independently. One Microservice might handle voicemail retrieval while another provides outbound campaigns and yet another routes incoming customer calls. They are very efficient that they could recover quickly if they fail — so fast, that you'll never know an outage has occurred.
PureCloud & Netflix
Both, PureCloud and Netflix are almost the same (built on Microservies), except that one is for contact centers and the other is for customers watching movies, series and documentaries. In Netflix, you could be watching a movie and at the same time a new movies is being uploaded, with no interruption. The same is with PureCloud, updates can happen at the same time, while your agents are handling customer interactions. PureCloud has many features but the main ones are:
On-demand scaling:
Microservices can scale up or down to match current demand. Which means that if one needs to send a million messages it won't affect the functionality of the other Microservices, nor will it delay your system. Regardless, of how big or small your organization is, it meets your company's needs
Meeting Business Needs
A flexible platform that adjusts according to your business. If you have a slow season our platform can shrink to help you save costs. Genesys can update PureCloud on a continuous basis—fixing bugs almost instantly and adding new features fast. The independence of Microservices enables Genesys to administer bug fixes without those fixes disrupting another service. Additionally, Genesys can create Microservices for new functionality, such as web co-browsing, without affecting other services. There's no need to take down the platform to administer these updates. | eng | 5539a1e4-3090-4747-a7b9-ecd18d700476 | https://www.istnetworks.com/blog/the-phenomena-of-microservice-technology/ |

Gone, Baby, Gone
Young Affleck is making some very smart decisions. Here, following the direction of older brother Ben, Casey plays Patrick, a private detective that's hired to find a missing little girl, Amanda, which coincidentally looks a lot like Maddie McCain (the girl who went missing in Portugal in May). The resemblance is really eery, but once you get past that the movie is really suspenseful, thought provoking and very entertaining. Casey Affleck is proving time and again that he's the next greatest actor of our generation. Let's hope he keeps making smart movie decisions. | eng | 9d597136-5f00-4d53-bc56-87b5a50caba4 | https://okmagazine.com/news/gone-baby-gone-2/ |
(2023) Ideal Scenario for using Edge Computing Solution
What is Edge Computing?
Introduction
In the rapidly changing digital landscape of today, where the generation and consumption of data are increasing at an unprecedented pace, there exists an ideal scenario for using edge computing. The advent of groundbreaking technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and autonomous vehicles has presented traditional cloud computing infrastructure with various hurdles. These challenges include latency, limitations in bandwidth, and concerns regarding data privacy. In response to these obstacles, edge computing has emerged as a practical and effective solution. It addresses these challenges head-on, enabling expedited and optimized data processing. By leveraging edge computing, organizations can overcome the limitations of traditional cloud infrastructure and ensure seamless and efficient data management.
Definition of Edge Computing
Edge computing entails a decentralized computing framework that brings computational resources and data storage in proximity to the origin of data generation. Unlike traditional cloud computing, where data is processed in centralized data centers located far away, edge computing brings the processing power closer to the edge of the network, reducing latency and enabling real-time data analysis and decision-making.
How Edge Computing Works ?
In edge computing, computing resources, such as servers, storage devices, and data analytics tools, are deployed at the edge of the network, typically within close proximity to the devices generating the data. This allows for faster data processing and analysis, as the data doesn't need to travel long distances to reach the cloud.
Edge computing relies on a distributed network of edge nodes or edge devices, which can be anything from routers and gateways to IoT devices and autonomous vehicles. These edge devices collect and preprocess the data locally, applying real-time analytics and filtering.

1. SDK Integration
Install Blueshift's Android SDK
To install the Blueshift Android SDK, add the following line to the app level build.gradle file. To get the latest version, check the releases page on GitHub.
implementation "com.blueshift:android-sdk-x:$sdkVersion"
Install Firebase Cloud Messaging
Blueshift uses Firebase Messaging to send push messages. Integrate Firebase Messaging into the project in case it is not already integrated.
If this is the first time that you are integrating FCM with your application, add the following lines of code into the AndroidManifest.xml file. This code enables the Blueshift Android SDK to receive the push notification sent from Blueshift servers via Firebase.
If you have an existing FCM integration, let your FirebaseMessagingService class extend BlueshiftMessagingService. This enables the Blueshift Android SDK to receive the push notification sent from Blueshift servers via Firebase.
public class AwesomeAppMessagingService extends BlueshiftMessagingService {
@Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
if (BlueshiftUtils.isBlueshiftPushMessage(remoteMessage)) {
super.onMessageReceived(remoteMessage);
} else {
/*
* The push message does not belong to Blueshift. Please handle it here.
*/
}
}
@Override
public void onNewToken(String newToken) {
super.onNewToken(newToken);
/*
* Use the new token in your app. the super.onNewToken() call is important
* for the SDK to do the analytical part and notification rendering.
* Make sure that it is present when you override onNewToken() method.
*/
}
}
Permissions
Add the following permissions to the AndroidManifest.xml file.
<!-- Internet permission is required to send events,
get notifications and in-app messages. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<!-- Network state access permission is required to detect changes
in network connection to schedule sync operations. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<!-- Location access permission is required if you want to track the
location of the user. You can skip this step if you don't want to
track the user location. -->
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION" />
4. Blueshift Deep Links
Blueshift's deep links are usual https URLs that take users to an installed app or a web browser to show the content. If an email or text message that is sent as a part of a campaign contains Blueshift deep links and a user clicks on it, the OS launches the installed app and Blueshift SDK delivers the deep link to the app to navigate the user to the respective screen.
To open the app when someone clicks the link, add the following intent filter to the <activity> tag for your MainActivity inside your AndroidManifest.xml file. Ensure that you replace links.clientdomain.com with your email domain name. | eng | f9dc6bed-d096-4315-8ada-ba04f0b2c699 | https://developer.blueshift.com/docs/integrate-your-android-app |

Interior Design Style Home in 2023
People always confuse modern design same things as contemporary design. Both designs are different but similar. Modern house design element refers to crisp lines, clean, a simple colour palette and the use of materials such as metal, glass and steel.
In every aspect, including furniture, modern design employs a sense of simplicity. A term widely used to characterize contemporary style is elegant, and a modern style does not require a lot of clutter or accessories.
2.Cotemporary Interior Design
Modern and contemporary are two styles frequently used interchangeably while contemporary is about here and now. The key distinction between modern and contemporary types of design is that modern design is a strict interpretation of design that originated in the 20th century. On the other hand, modern is more flexible and can reflect a sense of currency with less commitment to a traditional style. Contemporary design, for instance, can include curvy lines but modern doesn't.
3.Minimalist Interior Design
One that's popular here in Singapore along the year is the minimalist home design. It takes ideas of industrial design and further simplifies them. Colour palettes are neutral and airy; furnishings are plain and minimalist, and in accessories or decor, nothing is extravagant or flamboyant. A sense of simplicity and ultra-clean lines essentially characterize minimalism.
The industrial style takes influence from a factory or an urban loft; Think high ceilings with minimal practical furniture, old timber and hanging metal light fixtures. To add a splash of colour to an otherwise neutral colour scheme derived from the primary wood and metal materials, one or two pieces of abstract art or photography could possibly be present. In many of the elements, there's a feeling of unfinished rawness, and it's not unusual to see exposed brick, ductwork and wood. A restored loft from a previous industrial building will be an iconic home with an industrial design theme.
5.Scandinavian interior design
Scandinavian design describes simplicity of life demonstrated in Nordic countries. It characterized by minimalism, simplicity, and functionality which incorporates natural forms, abstraction, and the use of natural elements. Bright colours such as white, grey, medici extremely popular in Scandinavian design. Spacious, natural lighting, less accessories and functional furniture characterizes Scandinavian designs. Although the Scandinavian design has been around since the 1950s, it is still among the most common and most requested designing styles by Singapore homeowners.
6.Modern Country Interior Design
Modern country style features dynamic layers of rugged and the organic for a warm; that is influenced by traditional farm houses and the value of people and gatherings. It celebrates outdoor living and creates a relaxed feeling that transforms a house into a home. In order to create a distinctive, authentic look, country style combines elements from rustic and retro interior design trends. | eng | b68780a5-8276-430c-a25c-be1a317765c7 | https://www.albedodesign.com.sg/interior-design-styles |
There's a reason transmaxxing is a thing but not poonmaxxing.
Everyone secretly knows being female is an improvement and the world would be better off mostly feminized except for maybe plumbers or people who work in construction.
What's really based is the person who wrote it isn't even a tranny.
He's a guy who thinks incels should become girls in a darwinian sense, like that's how they should adapt.
And the amount of detail and charts and footnotes and everything is all really crazy.

I aggressively pinkpilled anons for a few months just for fetish reasons. Don't do it as much anymore but used to turn me on a lot imagining desperate lonely incels shooting up female hormones and giving themselves tits and a plump ass and pouty fat redistributed girl faces and getting ejaculated into by men, hopefully with some realizing in horror afterwards the full extent of what they did to themselves4 weeks ago

I allow myself to feel that, but I'm a masochist now 7w7
I enjoy the feeling after feeling the of despair, it longs about a minute but it can be longer and then turn into a normal girl again a few minutes later, so no permanent damage, just fun in the end
That dude is an artist. Makes me feel bad I'm not as hardcore a tgirl appreciator and pinkpiller as he is.

Seems like it'd be difficult since usually girls are too nice to dom like that spontaneously, and being female they usually won't see femininity as hot in that same degrading / emasculating kind of way. You might have to openly ask her to indulge that.

I wonder what's going to happen if like 5 to 10 years from now suddenly everyone realizes the number of mtfs jumped to something crazy like 1 in every 8 amabs.
Would definitely solve inceldom and would be a pretty trippy harem type planet filled with mostly girls.
Also we could have a diaper transbian President.
>you're an ugly autistic malebrained dyke
I was exactly this before.
No, transitioning to male didn't help, and I didn't think it would. Absolutely nothing changed in how people treated me. You're retarded. No one likes ugly autisitic freaks, male or female.If you don't want to make love to women, why do you care so much about ftm? Don't your life change if the homie decides to stuff himself with testosterone, acne is just a thing to take care of, after all and he's not deformed to raise pity, he's just a regular guy, not everyone is going to be attractive to x and z and no one gives a second look for that; it's not like he was a supermodel before taking t.
>If you don't want to make love to women
I do >why do you care so much about ftm?
I don'tI'm mildly AGP but also very into women who aren't me. But there's definitely non-AGP transbians, AGP straight trans women, and everything in between. Honestly I think the non-AGP transbians might be the least trutrans acting of them all.
You are a very based woman. Admitting that you want to crush some breasts, kiss some women, is always very nice.
Because some MtFs cannot step outside of themselves, and project their own life experiences onto other people. Unironically NPD traits. And they especially cannot understand how someone could just accept that life and be themselves and not care.
I don't know, maybe the person doesn't even mean it, maybe whoever said that isn't even a trans woman, and we're just discussing hypotheses that could lead to that... maybe it's a misunderstanding!

You may be right, there are always some people who think this way, but maybe they just need to get in touch with ftms more? We can't be pessimistic, are they sometimes open to understanding how ftms feel and having a more positive view of them?

Arinova went from pudgy low test beta male to unfortunately masculine looking tranny.
Vincent went from above average cute girl to fruity looking guy (and acne obviously but he can fix that with accutane).
Vincent hurts more since something was lost there. Arinova didn't really have anything to lose although also she didn't turn out good post-transition. But only one of them is tragic. | eng | 211e0601-87db-4889-8fb9-f2576d5c8b95 | https://lulz.com/post-couples-trooningpooning-out-together-453000-434487/ |
Is Spongebobs Grandma A Sponge Or A Cookie?
Grandma's cookies are cookies that SpongeBob's grandmother, Grandma SquarePants, bakes for him every Christmas. They are a dessert that both SpongeBob and Patrick like eating, with the former enjoying them the most. Besides the episodes ″ Grandma's Kiss ″ and ″ BlackJack,″ they also feature in the comic book series of the same name.
She is shaped like a round sponge, much like the rest of SpongeBob's family.
Is SpongeBob's mother a cookie or a sponge, as the case may be? Because they have round skulls, his parents are more like natural sponges than SpongeBob, in contrast to SpongeBob. It is revealed in the episode ″Whelk Attack″ that her maiden name was BubbleBottom.
Are SpongeBob's parents cookies or old sponges?

Job Titles

Feeling stuck on Job Titles Job Titles
Ben describes why Job Leveling is almost always necessary, the inherent risks with it (including the law of crappy people), and how to manage those risks with a strong promotion process.
• Job titles become important for two reasons: employees need them for future jobs, and as companies grow, titles provide a shorthand for roles.
• However, without proper management, titles can lead to issues like the Peter Principle and the Law of Crappy People, where incompetent people get promoted. The best way to mitigate these issues is through a disciplined promotion process, similar to how martial arts dojos promote students.
• The promotion process should have clear definitions of skills needed at each level and compare candidates to existing employees at that level.
• Ben reviews Meta's approach, where Zuckerberg gives lower titles to ensure fairness. Zuckerberg's approach forces managers to understand the leveling system, which boosts morale. Meta misses out on some candidates due to lower titles, but they may not be the right fit anyway.
• Ultimately, a disciplined promotion process is more important than the actual titles given. It avoids internal inequities that can obsess employees.
How to Create Job Title HierarchiesGokul argues that CEOs should avoid giving out Director and VP titles as much as possible, ideally never. They should focus on recognizing employees based on scope and impact, not titles. Once titles are given out, it's hard to take them away, creating organizational challenges.
• Titles can become a primary motivator for employees, who focus more on getting the next title than the actual work. Titles can lead to entitlement and politics, with employees asserting power based on their titles.
• Gokul proposes using descriptive job titles for individual contributors and the generic "Lead" title for people managers. The "Lead" title satisfies employees' needs while avoiding the problems of Director and VP titles. It's easier to change someone's role from a "Lead" to an individual contributor, or have them report to a new "Lead," compared to changing Director/VP titles.
Job Title Case Studies
Blend takes a fresh look at traditional workplace practices, including job titles. Some of their tactics include:
• Their CEO, Nima Ghamsari, believes that traditional titles are often misrepresentative and dangerous to Company Culture. Blend aims for Transparency and meritocracy as principles, but traditional titles are often given out as honorary rewards rather than based on actual responsibility and impact. Titles are also not consistent across companies so they are not a good indicator of a person's suitability for a role.
• Matt Morgan, the article author and Blend's head of people, had an experience where honorary titles led to inequities and confusion about people's actual roles and responsibilities.
• Blend's principles for titling are that titles should be descriptive, honorific titles are counterproductive, titles and Compensation should be decoupled, and ambition for titles alone is misguided. At Blend, titles reflect functional responsibilities and management levels, not perceived value or seniority.
• While some employees want frequent promotions for recognition, Blend focuses on growth, impact and Compensation instead of titles.
Asana's Head of People Operations, Anna Binder, describes how they use job titles primarily to describe a person's role or the type of work they do, not to indicate level or seniority.
• They use titles like "Lead" to refer to both people managers and individual contributors who run a function. People who run functions often use titles like "head of" to describe their role.
• They use traditional titles in Job Descriptions to attract candidates and when representing Asana externally. They decided not to use titles internally to indicate level to avoid demoralizing people.
• Asana values impact over titles, granting authority based on Accountability, not titles. Employees can have a huge impact regardless of their title through Areas of Responsibility.
• They recognize titles may matter externally, so they empower employees to decide how to represent their roles outside Asana. | eng | fd00ae94-4ade-49f0-9612-1c8cdfc24811 | https://practicahq.com/skill/job-titles |

Cats that have the skin condition hepatocutaneous syndrome deal with a rare, difficult condition. It is a multisystemic illness that affects the liver and the skin, causing sores and ulcerations on the skin. We learn more about this condition in this article.
Hepatocutaneous Syndrome is a rare, complex, and challenging skin condition that affects cats. It is a multisystemic disease that involves both the liver and the skin, leading to skin lesions and ulcerations. This condition is characterized by the formation of nodules, scaly patches, and crusts on the skin, along with a variety of other symptoms, including itching, hair loss, and chronic infections.
In this article, we will delve into the symptoms, causes, and treatments for Hepatocutaneous Syndrome in cats and explore the recent developments in this field.
Causes
The exact cause of Hepatocutaneous Syndrome in cats is still not fully understood, but several theories have been proposed. One of the most frequently accepted explanations is that the disorder is caused by liver disease, which hinders the liver's ability to cleanse the body and causes hazardous compounds to accumulate in the skin. The development of Hepatocutaneous Syndrome may also be influenced by genetics, immunological conditions, and environmental factors such as exposure to specific poisons or chemicals.
There is also evidence to suggest that the condition may be related to feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) or feline leukemia virus (FeLV), as cats with these viral infections are more prone to developing skin lesions and other symptoms associated with Hepatocutaneous Syndrome.
Additionally, some studies have suggested that certain breeds of cats may be more predisposed to developing Hepatocutaneous Syndrome. Breeds like Siamese, Burmese, and Himalayan cats.
Regardless of the exact cause, it is clear that Hepatocutaneous Syndrome is a complex and multifactorial condition that requires careful diagnosis and management by a veterinarian.
Symptoms
Hepatocutaneous Syndrome in cats can present with a wide range of symptoms. However, the following ones are the most typical:
Hepatocutaneous Syndrome is characterized by skin lesions, which can appear as nodules, scaly patches, crusts, or ulcerations on the skin. Although the lesions can form anywhere on the body, the head, neck, and legs are where they are most frequently seen.
Hair Loss: Cats with the hepatic cutaneous syndrome may experience hair loss in the affected areas, leading to bare patches of skin.
Itching: Cats with Hepatocutaneous Syndrome may also experience itching and scratching, which can exacerbate the skin lesions and lead to further skin damage.
Chronic Infections: As a result of the skin lesions brought on by hepatocutaneous syndrome, germs may be able to enter the body and cause persistent infections that are challenging to cure.
Generalized Weakness: In some cases, cats with the hepatic cutaneous syndrome may experience generalized weakness and a decreased appetite, which can be related to the underlying liver disease.
Jaundice: Jaundice, which is a yellowing of the eyes and skin brought on by an accumulation of bilirubin in the blood, can also appear in cats with liver illness.
Treatment Options
It can be difficult to treat Hepatocutaneous Syndrome in cats and may require a variety of methods. Controlling the skin lesions, the underlying liver disease, and any associated symptoms are the goals of treatment. Part of the most popular forms of therapy are:
Liver Support: Cats with the hepatic cutaneous syndrome may get supplements like S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe) or ursodeoxycholic acid to boost liver function (UDCA).
Immunomodulatory Therapy: In some cases, cats with Hepatocutaneous Syndrome may be given immunomodulatory therapy, such as immunoglobulin therapy, to help regulate the immune system and reduce skin inflammation.
Surgery: In severe cases, cats with Hepatocutaneous Syndrome may require surgical removal of the skin lesions or liver biopsy to determine the underlying cause of the condition.
However, the treatment for Hepatocutaneous Syndrome may need to be adjusted over time as the cat's condition changes. In some cases, the skin alterations may resolve with treatment, while in others, they may recur.
Can You Prevent Hepatocutaneous Syndrome In Cats?
There is no known technique to avoid Hepatocutaneous Syndrome in cats at the moment. Given the condition's complexity and multifaceted character, a mix of genetic, environmental, and immunological variables are probably responsible for its emergence. However, there are steps that cat owners can take to help minimize the risk of liver disease and associated skin issues in their pets:
While there is currently no known way to prevent Hepatocutaneous Syndrome in cats, taking these steps can help minimize the risk of liver disease and associated skin issues and ensure that your cat remains healthy and happy. | eng | 8900b310-b2ff-486c-b1ee-30ab819ba55d | https://www.petcarerx.com/article/hepatocutaneous-syndrome-in-cats/6616 |

Best Generator Sizes to Run a Furnace
Running a furnace in your home lets you keep the house warm, but you need a way to run it. If you own a generator, you need to see if your furnace works with it. Unfortunately, the situation leaves people wondering what size generator they need to run a furnace.
If your furnace can run on a generator, you must understand the sizes and watts available. Doing so will help you know if your generator works for your furnace or if you need to purchase a new generator.
Overview of the Article:
Which generator watt sizes can run a furnace
Why you would want a larger or smaller generator
Frequently asked questions about running furnaces with generators
As winter approaches, it's crucial that we keep hot air flowing through our homes. There's no better way to achieve this than with a furnace. However, furnaces need power to run at their best in winter and all year long, and generators play a big role in it.
As you look into the details and review the FAQs, you'll understand generators and how to get your furnace running off of one.
What Size Generator Do I Need to Run My Furnace?
Furnaces have various sizes and require different amounts of power. For example, a furnace that requires two horsepower will need more watts than a furnace with one horsepower.
You also must think about additional appliancesyou plan to connect. For example, while most people connect generators to multiple devices, you may not need to worry about a more significant generator for just a furnace.
On top of this, you must strive to run your generator at full load. Doing so means getting your generator to max capacity when possible so you don't damage it.
You must consider how much power you plan to use before getting a generator. As you do, you must focus on keeping your generator at full load.
How Many Watts Does My Furnace Need?
Some people assume they just need a generator with enough watts to run a furnace. However, you must consider the watts needed to start the furnace since that varies from the required amount.
For example, most appliances require double the watts to turn them on and keep them running. With this in mind, if your furnace needs 2,000 watts to run, then you need a generator that can handle 4,000 watts.
With this in mind, we want to talk about different generator watts, if they can run furnaces, and if you can use additional appliances with them. Doing so will help you gauge which generator works best for your situation.
For example, you need to go with a larger generator if you want to connect multiple devices to it. On the other hand, a smaller size works well if you only want to worry about heating and a few other appliances. You can also swap devices as needed.
As we go through the different sizes, you can see which options help you in your situation or home size.
Will a 7,500-Watt Generator Run a Furnace?
As you check furnace blowers, you'll notice one requires 0.25 to 0.5 horsepower to run. So every 0.25 horsepower your furnace uses, you need to have about 1,000 watts. While it seems like a furnace can heat a home at a lower output, that isn't always the case.
When it comes to a 7,500-watt generator, you can efficiently run a furnace off it with enough power to heat your home. It also works great if you plan to add multiple appliances such as your lighting, the fridge, or any other essentials.
You also have space to add a few other appliances you don't need. For example, the 7,500-watt generator works excellently if you want a flexible furnace or to heat a larger house.
Best Generator Sizes To Run A Furnace 4
Will a 6,500-Watt Generator Run a Furnace?
Going off the previous point, you can use a 6,500-watt generator to run a large furnace. You can attach most furnaces to this size and still have some power left over for other appliances.
For example, you can add a fridge, your lights, and maybe another necessary appliance. You could potentially add other devices to it, but you need to realize it doesn't have as much flexibility as a 7,500-watt option.
However, if you don't have enough appliances to add to your generator to warrant a 7,500-watt option, this one works great. You can also go with it if you want to focus on necessary or important appliances rather than ones you want to use during a power outage.
Despite that point, you most likely will have a bit of room for one or two additional appliances.
Will a 5,000-Watt Generator Run a Furnace?
You can use a 3,000 or 5,000-watt furnace to run most houses when it comes to generators. However, since this one sits at the higher end, it can run a furnace, a fridge, lights, and similar appliances.
The 5,000-watt option gives you additional power for other appliances you want to attach. However, if you own an average-sized home, you may not have as many options for your generator.
Some people don't mind swapping appliances on their generators as needed, so a 5,000-watt option could work for some larger homes. However, if you want to avoid switching appliances, go with a 5,000-watt option to cover your essentials in an average home.
Will a 4,000-Watt Generator Run a Furnace?
A 4,000-watt furnace has a similar approach to the 5,000-watt option, but you'll need to give up an appliance. Since multiple essential devices require about 1,000 watts to turn on, you may not have enough power to run another machine.
However, a furnace canefficiently run off a 4,000-watt generator while providing room for a few other appliances. So if you own an average home or a smaller one, the 4,000 option might work for your entire home.
You also can swap appliances when you need to use different ones. However, you won't find as much flexibility as the larger options, so stick with the essentials.
Will a 3,500-Watt Generator Run a Furnace?
While 500 watts may not seem like a significant difference, it can prevent an entire appliance from working with your generator. You don't want to go over the maximum watts since it can damage your generator, so you must know how many watts you plan to use.
A 3,500-watt generator can power an average home with just the necessities or a smaller one with a few other appliances. With this in mind, you could run a furnace with a fridge, but you may not have enough power for more appliances.
The 3,500-watt generators also work well as portable options. You can bring them with you on a trip and use them to power a couple of appliances. However, you need to push it to its limit if you want it to power an average house or use it for a few other items with a smaller home.
Will a 2,000-Watt Generator Run a Furnace?
While a 2,000-watt generator can run a 0.25 or 0.5-horsepower generator, it won't work for most situations. For example, you can power your furnace and heat your home, but you can't add other appliances.
You may use the furnace, but you might not have enough watts to add the lights. You may also struggle to use your fridge and the heater simultaneously, so you could lose food if your fridge gets too warm.
In short, 2,000-watt generators work for light use, so don't rely on them for powering multiple appliances. However, if you only need to worry about one machine during an outage, a 2,000-watt generator can work well.
Because of this, a 2,000-watt generator won't work for most people, but you can use it if you want to. They work better as portable power sources when people want to use appliances as they camp.
FAQs
Now that you understand which generator sizes can run furnaces, you must check out the frequently asked questions (FAQs). Doing so will help you address concerns and problems with generators or furnaces.
Will A generator damage my furnace?
If you don't correctly use your generator, you could damage your furnace. In addition, when you overload the generator, you could face the following side effects:
The process permanently damages the generator and any appliances attached to it.
The generator can overheat and pose a fire hazard.
If fuel spills out, the generator could explode and damage more property.
If you follow the instructions and properly use your generator, you won't need to worry about damage. Make surenever to plug in more appliances than the generator can handle. Each generator states its max load.
Instead of pushing your generator to the limit and facing potentially deadly consequences, you need to buy a new one as necessary. Even if your generator doesn't catch on fire, you can still damage your furnace.
Can I plug my gas furnace into a generator?
You can, but it depends on the furnace type. If the furnace requires an electric motor, it may need to be plugged into a power source to work. However, other furnaces only run on gas, so you can't plug them into your generator.
If you plan to use your generator to power your gas furnace, you need to double-check the instructions. First, look at the instructions for both the gas furnace and the generator. You can see if they mention any warnings concerning their use with furnaces.
If you can't find any information about safely using your gas furnace with a generator, don't use them together. Doing so could pose fire hazards, so you don't want to risk anything. If you need to know for sure, call the manufacturers for more information.
How do you hook up a furnace to a generator?
If you want to hook your furnace to the generator safely, you need to follow these steps.
Review the manual for any specific instructions or quirks concerning the generator.
Always use the generator outdoors to avoid any gas leaks or damage in your house.
Turn all the appliances off and plug them into the generator.
Turn the generator on.
Turn each appliance on one at a time to avoid overloading the generator.
Check the generator every once in a while to ensure it doesn't overheat or face problems.
These steps keep you safe and avoid damage to your generator and furnace. Make sure you take it slowly to minimize issues and mistakes.
What size generator do I need to run my furnace and refrigerator?
Although it depends on the power required to run a furnace and refrigerator, a 3,000-watt generator should work in most situations. You could also use a 2,000-watt one if you need to heat less space or have a mini-fridge.
However, if you think a 3,000-watt option won't work for your fridge and furnace, you could try a 4,000-watt one or a larger generator. Of course, you need to think about the size of your house as you pick one, so look at these numbers as rough estimates to get you started.
What size furnace do I need for my house?
The furnace size you need depends on your house size. For example, a 1,500-square-foot house will require a smaller furnace than a 3,000-square-foot house. If you know the size, you can use a furnace size calculator to help you figure out what you need to buy.
Check how much horsepower you need for the required appliances as a general guide. You can figure out how many watts you need to power your home as you remember these points.
What size generator do I need for a 1,500-square-foot house?
You can go with a smaller generator to run a 1,500-square-foot house. While it may vary depending on what you plan to plug into your generator, you can use a 3,500-watt generator for the basics.
Double-check how much power your furnace, fridge, lights, and other essentials required to run. While a 3,500-watt option might work, you may need a larger one depending on what you plan to plug into it. | eng | 3bc40860-41f8-4317-a066-3e439b725f9d | https://surgeaccelerator.com/best-generator-sizes-to-run-a-furnace/ |

Report on Cowdung effect in Okra
Okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) (L.) Moench is a member under Malvaceae family and is also known as Lady's finger. It is an annual vegetable crop grown from seed in tropical and sub-tropical parts of the world (Tahkur and Arora, 1986).). It is well distributed throughout the Indian sub-continent and East Asia (Rashid, 1990). Its tender green fruits are popular as vegetable among all classes of people in Bangladesh and elsewhere in the world.
Okra is a nutritious and delicious vegetable, fairly rich in vitamins and minerals. Per 100 gm of edible portion of pod have moderate levels of vitamin A (0.01 mg) and C (18 g), calcium (90 mg), phosphorus and potassium. The content of thiamine (0.07 mg), riboflavin (0.08 mg) and niacin (0.08 mg) per 100 g edible portion of pod is higher than that of many vegetables (Rashid, 1990). Tender pods have high mucilage content and are used in soups and gravies. The pods also have some medicinal value and a mucilaginous preparation from the pod can be used as a plasma replacement or blood volume expander.
In Bangladesh vegetable production is not uniform round the year. Vegetables are plenty in winter, but are lower in summer. The total vegetable production, around 30% is produced during kharif season (April to September and 70% is produced in Rabi season (October to March) (Annon., 1993). Though it is popular in the country, its production is mainly concentrated during summer. Total production of okra is about 19210 metric tones produced from 6210.53 hectare of land in the year 2003, and the average yield is about 3.093 t/ha (BBS, 2004), which is very low, compared to that of other developed countries where the yield is as high as 7.0-12.0 t/ha (Yamaguchi, 1998).
Growth and yield of okra depend on nutrient availability in soil, which is related to the judicious application of manures and fertilizers. Nutrient may be applied through two sources viz. organic and inorganic. Increased use of inorganic fertilizer in crop production causes health hazards, Pollute the air, water and soil etc. The continuous use of chemical fertilizer badly affects the soil texture, structure, color, aeration, water holding capacity and microbial activity of soil. A good soil has an organic matter content of more than 3%.But in Bangladesh soil of most region have less than 1.5%,some soil have less than 1% organic matter. For continuous cropping, organic manures applied to the crop fields through cowdung, poultry litter, farmyard manure etc. are insufficient. Now a days, gradual deficiency in soil organic matter and reduce yield of crops are alarming factors and burning issues for the farmers and agriculturists. All efforts should be made to develop consciousness of the farmers about the importance of soil organic matter in the long term maintenance of soil productivity. Kamaluddin (1968) reported that organic manure increases soil organic matter and essential nutrient elements for plants. In recent year livestock farming is increasing. So manure like cowdung etc. is becoming available. Wright (1960) studied that Horse and Cow manure contains approximately 0.5% N, 0.55% K and 0.25 % Phosphoric acid. It thus supplies three of main elements needed by fruit plants.
Considering the above facts, the present research was under taken with the following objectives:
To study the effect of cowdung as organic sources of nutrient on the growth of okra.
To know the optimum dose of cowdung this would be better for the growth and yield of okra.
To find out the possibilities of obtaining better yield instead of using inorganic fertilizer.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Specific approach requires a close understanding of the subject matter. This paper mainly depends on the secondary data. Different published reports of different journals mainly supported in providing data for this paper. This paper is completely a review paper. Therefore, no specific method has been followed in preparing this paper. It has been prepared by comprehensive studies of various articles published in different journals, books and proceedings available in the libraries of Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU), Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI), Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) and Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council (BARC).Valuable information has been also collected through personal contact with some resource personnel and with the help of Internet facilities. After collection of data from the above mentioned sources compilation was done carefully and was arranged systematically for presentation.
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
Okra is one of the most important vegetables in Bangladesh, as well as in the world. Researches on various aspects of its production technology have been carried out worldwide .Among these researches, very few numbers of works were reported where the effect of cowdung was studied.

3.08Attractiveness
Attractiveness of okra green pod was estimated in score by eye estimation with 10 to1 scale (most attractive to less attractive). Attractiveness of okra green pod was influenced by color, size, shape and free from blemices. So in case of numbering color, size and shape was considered. Highly significant variation in score was observed among the organic sources of nutrients. Cowdung produced attractive green pods (score 6.10) and less attractive green pods (score 5.78) were produced from control treatment.
Tenderness
Tenderness is one of the most important qualitative characters for green okra in the consumers market. The tenderness of green pod was influenced by the organic sources of nutrients. Tenderness of green pods was estimated in a 10 to1 scoring scale (tender to hard). The most (score 5.83) tender green pod was produced from cowdung and less tender green pod (score 5.51) was produced from control treatment.
Shelf life
Storage ability of okra green pod is an important qualitative character. Storage ability of okra green pods treated with different organic sources of nutrients showed highly significant difference. Storage ability was measured in days up to which the pod remained in marketable condition. Higher storage ability (score 3.34) of okra was observed from cowdung and the minimum storage ability (score3.25) was observed from no manure (control treatment).

CONCLUSIONThis study is laid to evaluate the effects of different levels of cowdung on the growth and yield of okra.
Different levels of cowdung significantly influenced all parameters. It was observed that cowdung applied at 16.8 ton/ha increased the plant height, number of leaves, leaves length, leaves breadth, petiole length which was significantly different from at, 15 DAS, 30 DAS and 45 DAS. It was revealed that cowdung application at 16.8 ton/ha also influenced the Green pod length, green pod diameter, number of green pod per plant, green pod yield/plot, green pod yield/ha, which were significantly different from all other treatment levels. | eng | 53bde390-0940-40ed-bb0d-6dd767177ac8 | https://assignmentpoint.com/report-on-cowdung-effect-in-okra/ |
History Of MMA
Wrestling is one of the oldest sports in history. Evidence suggests that wrestling has been a part of military training since at least the time of ancient Greece. Wrestling as a modern sport began to develop in England and the United States around the 19th century.
Wrestling got its start in ancient Greece and Rome. Ancient Greece was called "pale" and was a popular sport for upper-class males. The Roman Empire later banned it for being too brutal. Wrestling eventually evolved into modern-day American wrestling during the 19th century.
Wrestling is a sport involving physical competition between two people or groups. The intention is to impose one's will on the opponent through techniques that emphasise an individual's strength, speed, and endurance.
UFC is a mixed martial arts organisation. It was founded in 1993 by Rorion Gracie and Art Davie.-The UFC is considered the top MMA promotion company on the planet.-They are based out of Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
In 2015, UFC wrestling was the most popular sport in America. It was aired on Fox channels and ESPN. UFC had a huge marketing plan that included TV commercials, billboards, and interviews. The event took place in Las Vegas and lasted for one day. In 2015, the UFC had a record-breaking year. With new television contracts and pay per view deals, the company earned an estimated $600 million in revenue.
Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov are two of the biggest stars in the world of mixed martial arts. Recently, they have been involved in a feud that started during a press tour for their fight on October 6. The rivalry has led to some shocking events at UFC 229 on October 6.
Conor McGregor, a UFC fighter, and Khabib Nurmagomedov, a Russian MMA fighter, had been arrested in the post-fight brawl that occurred after Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor at UFC 229.
UFC is an organisation that uses mixed martial arts to deliver action-packed fights. The UFC has grown over the years as a professional sports company that hosts events worldwide, including the U.S., Brazil, Great Britain, Canada, Australia and France.
In recent years UFC has reached many countries. Their brawls are discussed worldwide. New fighters emerge in MMA from various countries; such countries have a low presence in sports industries. Fighters are now recognised globally and have several endorsements under their name.
UFC has taken MMA on to the next level. UFC also has many numbers of partners who sponsor the event. Celebrities from various industries come and watch the matches. Other sports industries also invite UFC fighters for their events. | eng | acd5f28d-37e9-4cde-a16d-26880da84aa4 | https://wrestlingculture.com/opinion/history-of-mma/ |
Ergonomics can generally be defined as the study of people in their working environment. The goal with ergonomics is to design or modify the work to fit the worker, and therefore eliminate discomfort and decrease risk of injury due to work. In the world of dance, where the work is creating art and the tool of the craft is the dancer's body, we often think of this in terms of biomechanics. Biomechanics can be defined as the science of movement of a living body, including how muscles, bones, tendons, and ligaments work together to produce movement.
– Erika Mayall, Registered Physiotherapist
Injury rates in dancers are high. One study found that 86% of dancers sustained one or more injuries during the study period, with 59% of all injuries being time-loss injuries. These numbers are consistent with other similar studies. The majority of injuries in dance, up to 75% of all injuries, are repetitive overuse injuries. One of the main etiologic factors leading to overuse injuries is the alteration of the biomechanical conditions of the exercise, often referred to as technique. Technique is the basis of all fundamental movements of dance, from holding your body or posture correctly, to executing skills and steps in a proper fashion. Insufficient or inadequate technique has been linked to the occurrence of overuse injuries.
If incorrect technique is a risk factor for injury, what exactly is proper technique? The answer to this may vary depending on the genre of dance as well as the skill level of the dancer. However, there are some commonalities that are generally accepted to be best practice when it comes to ideal biomechanics, or technique. For example, when performing movements that involve knee bending, such as a plié, lunge, or squat, the ideal biomechanics would have the knee tracking in line with the foot (roughly over the second toe). If the knee falls inwards (valgus position) or outwards (varus position) this may leave the dancer susceptible to injury at the foot/ankle, knee or hip joints.
In many dance forms, technique has developed over centuries and is based solely on tradition rather than any research-based or scientific rationale. For example, in classical ballet dancers utilize turnout, or lateral rotation of the legs so the feet are facing outwards rather than forward. This developed when ballet moved from the royal courts to the proscenium stage, where the audience was now primarily in front rather than surrounding the dancers. Dancers spent more time moving side to side which necessitated a degree of turnout. Since then, this turnout has been exaggerated, where 180 degrees is now accepted as the ideal and primary aesthetic in ballet. Sideways locomotion does not require this degree of rotation, and although some lateral rotation facilitates lifting the leg above 90 degrees (another desired aesthetic in dance), 180 degrees of rotation is not required.
As the field of dance medicine and science has emerged and evolved, this notion of technique based in tradition is being challenged. One could argue that 'good' technique is technique that is adapted to the dancer's biomechanical condition, or more simply put, adapted for their individual anatomy. When it comes to turnout, most dancers will anatomically not be able to achieve 180 degrees of rotation safely. In this case, development of proper technique, where a dancer is utilizing their own personal limit of rotation – not striving for an unrealistic 180 degrees – may be one of the most effective ways of preventing overuse injuries.
One of the central tenets of ergonomics is to design or modify the work to fit the worker, and not the other way around. In dance, the choreographer is generally the one who designs and sets the work based on their artistic vision. Choreographic process varies greatly person to person, but oftentimes the work will be envisioned long before the choreographer ever knows which dancer or company will be performing the work. When the work is ready to be set for a specific dancer or company, the choreographer may adapt the work to fit certain physical characteristics or abilities to reduce the risk of injury. We can truly embrace the ethos of ergonomics and its application to the dance world if we are ready to respect a dancer's unique biomechanics and anatomy and adapt choreography accordingly.

The speaker urged people not to leave Tripoli "for the rats." It further implored listeners to "Go out into the streets and fight."
CNN cannot independently confirm the authenticity of the recording. Gadhafi has previously described his adversaries before as rats.
[Updated at 10:49 a.m.] The main source of the opposition's supplies is coming from fighters loyal to Gadhafi. As the rebels win battles, they gather up the enemy's weaponry and equipment to add to their own arsenal.
In Ras Lanuf, home to an oil refinery capable of producing hundreds of thousands of barrels of oil a day, a long line of trucks awaited refueling. Most of the trucks had been taken from Moammar Gadhafi's loyalists and been retrofitted with heavy weaponry, including anti-aircraft guns and a rocket launcher.
Ras Lanuf is about 125 miles from Sirte, Gadhafi's hometown and one of the Libyan leader's last strongholds.
Gadhafi has a $1.4 million bounty on his head, but despite claims that he is holed up in an apartment complex in Tripoli, observers are skeptical because of a past rebel assertion that they knew where the Libyan leader was hiding and another announcement that they had captured his son, Saif al-Islam. Neither were accurate.
[Updated at 10:15 a.m.] There has been sporadic but intense artillery fire throughout day near Tripoli International Airport as rebels try to capture the highway connecting the airport and the capital. The airport is about 17 miles south of the capital.
[Updated at 10:09 a.m.] It is difficult to tell exactly what is happening on the ground because while there are legitimate firefights taking place, there is also plenty of celebratory gunfire, including from the rebels' large-caliber, anti-aircraft guns.
CNN's Dan Rivers, however, said there was a fierce firefight in one corner of Moammar Gadhafi's compound about two hours ago.
[Updated 10:02 a.m.] Smoke can be seen rising from Bab al-Aziziya, the Libyan leader's compound.
You are exactly correct, for oil, for gold, for elimination of national sovereignty and true freedom and liberty. Another conquest by the economic hit men, the jackals, the elite, the politicians, the bankers, the corporatiions and their Khazar puppet masters over the real human citizens of the world.
#Jimin – he's a really bad guy – doesn't care about 'his people', only the lust for power, like a dictator does. This is liberation and CREATION of freedom. All such rulers eventually die under internal attack by their own people. Your statements are a bit hyperbolic.
Indeed...The dumb rebels are just clearing the path for the economic hit men..Dumbos! How did so-called "protecting the civilians" become a full-blown war, and man-hunt eventually? Destroy a country to protect their civilians?LOL..They must think the whole world is dumb! Oh wait..no, actually they don't care.Long as they get their oil! OOh well, God still reigns...
Actually, the economy of Libya is far better managed than that of the United States. Do your homework before reaching the conclusion you reached. Gadhafi was going to unify Africa, establish a single African currency based upon gold, demand payment for oil and other African commodities in gold not dollars, ensure the continuing sovereignty of the African nations and improved the plight of the Africans as he has done for Libya. The evidence has been presented and is easy to find if you want to find it, but we refuse to do our homework for ourselves and would rather have our ears tickled by the government and media.
I LOVE that there are still a few smart ones like JiminNM around..folks who can read between the lines and not swallow everything the 'media' shovels down our throats...
I guess the rioters in London should have been given arms as well..bull-–
In Libya, medical students were only required to pay 20 dollars as tuition, under Ghadaffi.Yup, the media , doesn't tell you that part huh?!
Oh well, lets see how much they start paying for tuition now with their 'so called new-found freedom"..and no Ghadaffi
Is the West fighting for democracy or for their interest. In Palestine, Is Hamas Democratically elected or terrorist. Am confused in this world of the west and crude oil. God please dry all the crude's underground at least all this wars will stop for good.
It's wonderful to have the latest on Libya, however why put ALL THIS FOCUS and ENERGY into what's happening in the US? Many of us need to hear job reports, market stats, health insurance referendums, not Libya, the Rebels, or Ghadafi. We are in deep doo-doo in this country and Congress whines about their annual "vacation" and the President of the United States, which is in the hopper at this time, is on vacation on Nantucket, or Martha's Vineyard, or someplace he shouldn't be...........he outta be kickin' the a** of every opponent to changes needed to get this machine working again, starting with Cantor: what a tw*t!
There are plenty of places to get the info you seek on the US economy which is directly affected by events all over the world, including the very important and historic fight for freedom in Libya. We fought the brits for our freedom and the Libyans are fighting a dictator for theirs. This isn't about you so quit your sniveling.
Not much he can do while congress is on their five week vacation. If he did anything now, the tea partiers and Republicans would say he was acting without their approval. Let the man relax until congress gets back | eng | 3fdbd0d5-0c63-46d6-8fa3-e9a3641af29d | https://news.blogs.cnn.com/2011/08/25/report-rebels-say-they-have-gadhafi-surrounded/comment-page-1/ |
A Plentiful Harvest
Gracious God, who makes all good things grow, may your love continue to grow in our lives and bear the fruit your world needs. In this time of worship, may we rest in your presence, listen for your guidance, and open our hearts and minds to your Spirit's call. Amen. _____________________________________________________________________________________
Today, as we continue our sermon series, Don't Just Go Through It, Grow Through It, we are considering the idea of harvest. What good produce has God brought forth from seed, to sprout, to fruit? What is the bounty that God's beloved creation needs to be nourished and fed? And who will help God with the harvest by getting to work to gather it up and get this good food to all in need?
Jesus had been traveling all around the region of Galilee, going from town to town. He was teaching in the synagogues, healing people, and proclaiming the Good News that the Kingdom of God was at hand to all who would listen. His band of disciples and followers was growing.
And one day, Jesus stops and looks out over the crowd of people – everyday folks – who were mostly poor, some who were sick, some who were struggling to survive, some who were looking for a day's work and wages, some who were getting by alright but may have been longing for direction, purpose, and joy… and he is filled with compassion for them.
They were "harassed and helpless," Matthew says, "like sheep without a shepherd." And we know how well sheep do without a shepherd… not very well at all. They don't always stay together or know where to go. They are vulnerable to wolves and other predators, especially when they get separated from the flock.
"Like sheep without a shepherd." It's one of those phrases that pops up many times throughout the biblical text to describe how God's people sometimes get scattered – lacking commitment, lacking organization, lacking direction and purpose.
But Jesus doesn't make this observation with a tone of judgment. Matthew explicitly tells us that Jesus had compassion for the people.
And so he turns to his disciples and says, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few." In other words: disciples, it's time to get to work.
Jesus is preparing his disciples to become shepherds themselves. Eventually, they will need to do that because Jesus will not always be there in person to shepherd them.
And Jesus is calling them to be laborers in the work of the harvest. Look at this "plentiful harvest," Jesus says. Sure, at first glance they may seem to be "helpless and harassed," unorganized and uncommitted, but what potential! These are God's people – potential disciples of the Way, potential builders of the Kingdom of God who are ripe for the picking, ready to be called.
Perhaps they just need some compassion and encouragement; some presence, care, and help. Perhaps they just need to be reminded of their own potential; their own gifts, and strengths, and abilities. Perhaps they just need some guidance and direction. Perhaps they just need a sense of belonging and purpose.
You see, I think in this moment Jesus is calling his disciples to become community organizers.
Just as his band of disciples needed Jesus to shepherd and lead them, so too would the early church need their shepherding and leadership. He was teaching them by example how to do this. And he began with compassion.
The harvest, of course, brings to mind the fulfillment of the Reign of God. Harvest is often lifted up as a symbol of the eschaton – not simply the end of the world – but the end of the world as we know it – and the fulfillment of the world as it could be; as it should be – the end of suffering and injustice – the end of war and violence – the end of hopelessness and despair.
Can we imagine such a world? Can we imagine such a harvest?
"The harvest is plentiful," Jesus says. God's deep and abiding love is plentiful. God's good visions for this beloved world of God's creation are plentiful. God's hopes and dreams for our lives and our communities are plentiful.
But God needs our help to gather in the harvest. God needs our labor. God need our help to bring these visions, hopes, and dreams into reality. And the time is now.
After all, we don't want to let God's good fruit rot on the vine, do we? We don't want it to go to waste. We don't want the fruit of peace, the fruit of justice, the fruit grown by God's compassionate love and patient tender care, to wither and spoil – to go unconsumed, undigested.
We want God's good fruit to nourish, and fill, and fuel God's people for the good of God's world. And so, all of us have a job to do in the harvest. And our labor, our contributions to the harvest, might just bring us all closer to the vision of God's Reign.
You know, I can't say I have a lot of literal harvesting experience. As a kid, I was pretty good at picking strawberries in my mom's garden – but many of them ended up in my mouth and never even made it to the house.
In college I went on a weekend service trip to La Puente home in Alamosa, Colorado. La Puente (which means the bridge) offers shelter and food to anyone in need. And many of their clients are migrant farmworkers who move throughout the region doing day labor, especially during peak planting and harvesting seasons.
One of the projects we helped La Puente with that weekend was to glean a nearby potato field. The farm owner regularly allowed La Puente to glean and keep for their meal program whatever produce was left after the initial harvest. And perhaps you know that there is an astonishing number of potatoes left behind in the field after the harvesting machinery has rolled through – many small or oddly shaped, but plenty good for eating. I was amazed by how much we collected that day.
It was hard work in the hot sun – a lot of bending over and carrying buckets. And it gave me new appreciation for the migrant farmworkers who do this kind of work regularly, sometimes for too little pay and without much job security.
I had some moments of frustration that day though because I had just sprained my left wrist the day before. And so, I felt like I was struggling along at half the speed of everyone else. I could carry my bucket by the handle in the crook of my left elbow for a little while, but only until it was about a third full when it became too heavy and painful and I had to put it down. I could carry my full bucket to the truck but had to have someone else dump it into the collection bin for me.
And, as I got worn out, I started to feel a bit useless. But later, as I looked back on the day, after I got some rest, I realized that the truth is that I wasn't useless. I did what I could. And I adapted as I needed.
And then I felt ashamed because of the internalized ableism I was exhibiting as I was having this self-pity party. I was ashamed because the truth is that people with different abilities are incredibly adaptable and creative in the ways they live, work, and contribute to society. And people have demonstrated great ingenuity in creating assistive and adaptive technology to address issues of accessibility and to help people do their work and live their lives.
But we all have our moments, don't we? Perhaps we all feel useless at times – or more mildly, like we aren't doing enough, or living up to our potential. Those voices of self-criticism pop up sometimes. That's normal. The question is how will we process them, move through them, and not let them stop us in our tracks?
It's not unusual to feel a little useless, a little "harassed and helpless" to use Jesus' words. And we're facing some pretty big challenges right now as we are trying to navigate our way through this pandemic and as we face the reality once again of the big injustices of racism and poverty that continue to plague our society.
But that was also the world of Jesus. His world was plagued by disease and injustice. And yet, even in those circumstances, he said "the harvest is plentiful." And he looked to his disciples to help bring in the bounty. And that call now extends to us.
It is a call to action. It is a call to mission. It is a call to justice-seeking and peacemaking. Now is the time. The seeds God has planted have sprouted and grown, and the fruits of God's field are ripe and ready to be gathered up. Don't wait until it is too late. Now is the time.
We, like Jesus' first disciples are being called to help bring in the harvest – each of us of us beloved of God, each of us with abilities to offer.
And we are being equipped – each of us inspired and empowered by the Holy Spirit, guided by the Way of Jesus, supported by a church community of care, and given the tools we need.
And we are being sent (we are always being sent, aren't we?) – each of us sent into the places where we can serve, where we can do the work of love in action, where we can be a laborer in the harvest of God's great love, of God's great dream and vision for this world.
And one of the questions we all face from time to time is can I prioritize this call in my life? Can we put this call above our own desires and ambitions? Can we do without something we want so someone else can have enough? Can we listen, and learn, and follow another's lead? How will we find the courage and willpower we need to follow this call?
I do think one place to start is with gratitude. So, today, let us pause for a little Thanksgiving in June. Let us give God our thanks and praise for the blessing of this life, for the beauty of this world, for the fellowship of friends, and family, and community who accompany us on this journey.
Let us not take for granted the abundance of God's love in our lives. And let us recognize that though it is a challenging time, it is also an exciting time to be alive. Indeed, it always has been both. We have so much to be grateful for.
And then, inspired by gratitude and empowered by our faith and God's love, let's get out there in that field. And let's start picking. Let's start looking for the ripe fruits of justice, the ripe fruits of peace, the ripe fruits of God's love in action… the food for which the people of our world, God's world, hunger.
And let's get out there and glean those potato fields. Don't be fooled by a barren appearance at first glance. Sometimes what lies beneath the surface of the soil is exactly what is needed to nourish and feed. Don't be afraid to dig a little deeper. Sometimes it takes a little digging to find hope. Sometimes it takes a little digging to find faith.
But we know that hope and faith are part of the spiritual nourishment we need to keep going. And we can trust they are there. Sometimes we just need to find them. So, keep digging.
And when it comes to finding, harvesting, and sharing those fruits of justice, all of us can do our part. We've been talking about how we might do our part in our conversations on race over the past couple of weeks. And we plan to keep the conversation going, so stay tuned.
We can all help address the systemic injustices of racism and poverty (among others) by getting educated, by listening to and learning from those who have offered their voices, and lived experiences, and expertise to teach others. And we can approach this education with an open mind and heart, and with a willingness to be challenged and changed.
And we can use our financial resources and volunteer our time, energy, and abilities to support the work of individuals and organizations that are doing good work in our communities and our society to bring about a positive change and a more just future.
And we can use our voices. You don't have to be a social media influencer or a frontline protester. If you are, great. But all of us can use our voices in dialogue with our friends, families, communities, and elected officials. We can expand our communities by finding new conversation partners and getting to know folks in organizations that are new to us. And we can vote.
Maybe this isn't new for you. Maybe it is. But it's never too late to start. And all of us need a fresh start now and then.
And remember, wherever your path of discipleship may lead you in the days, weeks, months, and years ahead, there is always an abundant harvest of God's love in our midst. So, let's get out into that field and see what's ripe for the picking. | eng | 2776193a-09b0-40ba-ab48-5207298654d1 | https://bayshorechurch.org/sermons/a-plentiful-harvest/ |

DEB – Developmental timing, Environment, and BehaviorsBackground:
Environmental modulation of the Neuroendocrine Circuitry: Development and Behaviors. In insects and mammals, the juvenile-to-adult transition is trigger by a burst of steroid hormones production instructed by the brain neuroendocrine circuitry. The precise timing of hormonal burst is defined in the brain by a dynamic interplay between genes and the environment, which take place from the embryo till the juvenile ages. During this interplay, the brain is the final tissue, which integrates internal and environmental signals to triggers the onset of JDT. Due to this long-term back-and-forth between internal and external milieu, our knowledge of the regulation of the neurohormonal circuitry activity is incomplete. Therefore, our main interest focuses on understanding how do the environmental and internal cues modulate the activity of the neuroendocrine circuitry during the developmental period to times JDT and coordinates its associated behaviors.
Biological Model:
We use Drosophila melanogaster as our favorite model due to its ease use for genetic modifications that enabled the identification of novel conserved genes. The life cycle of Drosophila can be classified in four distinct phases: the embryonic developmental phase, juvenile growth phase, prepupa and pupa maturation phase (metamorphosis) and adult stage. Sexual maturation in Drosophila and other holometabolous insects occurs during pupariation stages through a process named metamorphosis.
Scientific originality of the team:
Despite the physiological divergence between insects and mammals, studies have shown that insect metamorphosis and mammalian puberty exhibit similar neuroendocrine design principles and pathways, suggesting the existence of common regulatory signals controlling JDT onset between them. Indeed, we just identified a conserved brain circuitry regulating steroid hormones production and the timing of JDT in both mammals and Drosophila melanogaster. This, in combination with the genetic amenability of flies, has made Drosophila a top-choice model for our team to study the instructive role of the brain on timing juvenile-to-adult developmental transition.
Research topics and objectives:
(i) Define the environmental signals timing JDT:
By performing unbiased genetic RNAi screens, we will identify the environmental signals involved in the activation of the neuroendocrine circuit at the onset of JDT. Besides, D. melanogaster shows a close relation with D. suzukii, suggesting that genes identified in this project could be conserved between those species, offering possible new targets for the development of bio-pesticides.
(ii) Assess the communication between the neurons and the gland cells:
The neuroendocrine circuit projects its axon into the prothoracic gland, where it secretes a neuropeptide to stimulate the production of steroid hormones. We take advantage of this simple brain-gland model to assess how do neuropeptides stimulate glands; and whether adverse environmental conditions could strengthen or weaken this communication to define JDT timing.
(iii) Determine the coordination between the developmental and behavioral programs. We are currently developing different strategies to test how does the behavioral program is set up and coordinated with the developmental program. Indeed, in most animals, JDT is accompanied by multiple behavioral changes leading towards exploring and engaging in social complexities.
Scientific and social issues
Understanding the mechanism timing the onset of this transition is essential for public health but also agriculture. For instance, slow-down of the exponential insect population growth is crucial to improve pest management strategies, and this also impacts medical research if the insect is a vector for dangerous diseases like dengue. Moreover, knowledge about the JDT timing mechanism is indispensable to battle against a current trend for earlier initiation of puberty, which causes several adverse health consequences. | eng | b0be8044-e477-48e9-99d7-83505f5387f2 | https://www6.paca.inrae.fr/institut-sophia-agrobiotech_eng/Research-teams/DEB |
The Captain fell overboard! Now What?
August 24, 2023
Share
Link
My wife and I were sitting in a Safety At Sea conference in the spring when the realization hit her."If you fall overboard, I don't know what to do."Actually, I am pretty confident she would figure it out enough to get me onboard in reasonable conditions.After all, the Navy did qualify her to drive an aircraft carrier.
However, there is a world of difference between driving a warship with a fully trained crew and being the last man or woman on the deck of a sailboat with the captain bobbing astern.This got me thinking about the differences between our navy experiences and operating a pleasure boat and how to improve safety.In a nutshell, I think it comes down to procedures and practice. In the navy we had procedures for everything from normal operation of equipment to complex emergencies.More importantly, everyone had to learn the procedures and we practiced and practiced until the muscle memory was locked in.This was especially true for emergencies or "casualties" in navy speak.
Casualty response is broken down into three basic parts:Immediate Actions, Supplementary Actions and Recovery Actions. Immediate actions are the ones that you need to memorize and can do without looking at the book or the procedures.Immediate actions are the actions that save the ship from the immediate danger and put her in a stable or semi-stable state that allows the crew time to complete supplementary actions and work on the recovery.
You might not be driving a warship in harms way but as a colleague is fond of saying "The boat is trying to hurt you and the ocean is trying to kill you".Do you have basic procedures written down and does your crew know what to do in emergencies?Have you practiced?
In a follow-up post I'll share my thoughts on some of the more common emergencies we might encounter sailing around the bay.If the captain does go over the side one day, let's make sure that recovery won't be left to chance. | eng | f636242e-31cd-4dd6-be57-13419e31aa81 | https://chesapeake-sailing.com/blogs/news/the-captain-fell-overboard-now-what |
Decoding Morality: Bioethics and its Role in Ethical Decision Making
Decoding Morality: Bioethics and its Role in Ethical Decision Making
Bio the moral implications of various practices and interventions in the field of healthcare. In this article, we will delve into the world of bioethics, exploring its significance and how it shapes ethical decision making.
Understanding Bioethics
Bioethics, as the name suggests, is the study of ethical issues related to life sciences, healthcare, and medical research. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including but not limited to medical ethics, research ethics, environmental ethics, and reproductive ethics. By analyzing the ethical implications of these domains, bioethics aims to provide guidelines and principles that can be used to make informed and morally sound decisions.
Medical Ethics
Medical ethics is a branch of bioethics that deals with ethical issues that arise in the context of patient care and medical treatment. It covers a broad spectrum of topics, including patient autonomy, confidentiality, end-of-life decisions, and resource allocation. Patient autonomy is a fundamental principle in medical ethics, emphasizing the right of individuals to make informed decisions about their healthcare without coercion or undue influence. Confidentiality is another critical aspect, highlighting the importance of protecting patient information. End-of-life decisions, such as those related to euthanasia or withdrawal of life support, require careful ethical consideration. Resource allocation poses ethical challenges, as healthcare professionals must make difficult decisions regarding the fair distribution of limited resources.
Research Ethics
Research ethics is another key area within bioethics. It focuses on the ethical conduct of research involving human subjects. Research involving human participants raises unique ethical concerns, such as informed consent, protection of participants' rights, and the balance between potential benefits and risks. Bioethics provides guidelines for researchers to ensure the ethical conduct of studies, safeguarding the welfare of both individuals and society as a whole. Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) play a crucial role in ethical oversight, reviewing research protocols and assessing potential risks and benefits.
Reproductive Ethics
Reproductive ethics explores the ethical questions surrounding reproductive technologies and choices. Advances in technology, such as in-vitro fertilization (IVF) and genetic testing, raise complex ethical dilemmas regarding the beginning and end of life. Bioethics examines the rights and responsibilities associated with reproductive choices, ensuring that ethical considerations are taken into account. It helps navigate issues related to genetic selection, surrogate pregnancies, and the ethical implications of altering the human genome.
Environmental Ethics
Bioethics also addresses environmental ethics, recognizing the impact of human activities on the natural world. Issues such as climate change, pollution, and resource depletion require ethical considerations to develop sustainable practices. Bioethics aims to strike a balance between human needs and the preservation of the environment. It encourages responsible stewardship of natural resources, promoting practices that minimize harm and ensure the long-term well-being of the planet.
Ethical Decision Making in Healthcare
Ethical decision making in healthcare is a complex process that requires careful consideration of various factors. Bioethics provides a structured approach to navigate ethical dilemmas, ensuring that decisions are grounded in moral principles. Here are some key aspects of ethical decision making:
Autonomy
Respecting patient autonomy is a fundamental principle of bioethics. It emphasizes the right of individuals to make informed decisions about their healthcare, free from coercion or undue influence. Informed consent, shared decision making, and patient-centered care are all rooted in the principle of autonomy. Healthcare professionals must empower patients to actively participate in their care, providing them with the necessary information and support to make autonomous decisions.
Beneficence
Beneficence entails promoting the well-being of patients and maximizing positive outcomes. In healthcare, this often involves balancing potential benefits against potential risks and harms. Bioethics helps professionals weigh these considerations, ensuring that interventions are in the best interest of the patient. It emphasizes the importance of evidence-based practice and the continuous evaluation of the benefits and risks associated with medical interventions.
Nonmaleficence
The principle of nonmaleficence emphasizes the obligation to do no harm. It guides healthcare professionals to minimize risks, avoid unnecessary suffering, and prioritize the safety and well-being of patients. Bioethics provides a framework to assess the potential harms and benefits of medical interventions, allowing professionals to make informed decisions that prioritize patient safety and minimize harm.
Justice
Justice refers to the fair distribution of resources and equitable access to healthcare services. Bioethics addresses issues of distributive justice, ensuring that healthcare resources are allocated in a manner that is fair and just, regardless of an individual's socioeconomic status or other factors. It promotes policies and practices that aim to reduce healthcare disparities and ensure equal access to quality care for all individuals.
Confidentiality
Protecting patient confidentiality is a critical aspect of ethical decision making. Bioethics emphasizes the importance of maintaining privacy and confidentiality, respecting patients' rights to have their personal information safeguarded. Healthcare professionals must adhere to strict confidentiality guidelines and ensure that patient information is securely stored and shared only with authorized individuals.
The Role of Bioethics in Advancing Medical Science
Bioethics not only guides ethical decision making but also plays a significant role in advancing medical science and research. Here's how:
Ethical Oversight
Bioethics committees, such as Institutional Review Boards (IRBs), ensure that research involving human subjects adheres to ethical principles. They review research protocols, assess potential risks and benefits, and safeguard the rights and welfare of participants. Ethical oversight is crucial to ensure the integrity of research and protect the well-being of those involved.
Policy Development
Bioethics informs the development of policies and regulations that govern medical research, clinical practice, and healthcare delivery. It ensures that ethical considerations are taken into account when formulating guidelines and standards. By incorporating bioethical principles into policies, healthcare systems can ensure the provision of safe, effective, and ethical care to patients.
Public Discourse
Bioethics fosters public dialogue and engagement on ethical issues in healthcare. It provides a platform for discussions on controversial topics, such as euthanasia, genetic engineering, or organ transplantation. By promoting informed decision making and societal consensus, bioethics enables individuals and communities to participate in shaping healthcare policies and practices.
Education and Training
Bioethics education is an integral part of healthcare professional training. It equips healthcare providers with the knowledge and skills to navigate ethical challenges and make informed decisions in practice. By integrating bioethics into the curriculum, healthcare professionals gain a deeper understanding of the moral dimensions of their work. This education fosters a culture of ethical awareness and promotes compassionate care.
Conclusion
Bioethics plays a vital role in guiding ethical decision making in healthcare, research, and the broader field of life sciences. By examining the moral implications of various practices and interventions, bioethics helps professionals navigate complex ethical dilemmas, ensuring that decisions are grounded in principles such as autonomy, beneficence, and justice. As medical science continues to advance, bioethics will remain a cornerstone in shaping a morally responsible and compassionate healthcare system.

Meditation is considered to be one of the most effective stress reduction techniques, and is part of the body's natural healing process. Meditation calms the nervous system, supports immune function, slows heart rate, lowers blood pressure, and eases anxiety and depression.
Relaxation is a state of rest for both body and mind, triggered by the parasympathetic nervous system. Relaxation techniques used to reduce stress include diaphragmatic breathing, guided visualization, and other therapeutic yogic practices. The body completes most of its healing, detoxification and regeneration when in a relaxed state.
Inspiration in the form of creativity and art-making has been shown to reduce fear, anxiety and nervousness in people receiving medical treatment. The creative process fosters deep relaxation and reduces pain perception. Art changes the consciousness by shifting the focus from bodily sensation and thoughts of limitation to the limitless imagination.
Education is key in utilizing the limitless power of the mind. Studies have shown that optimism and positive thinking lead to stronger immune responses in the body and more effective coping skills in times of stress. Replacing negative thoughts with positive statements and affirmations increases overall resilience and well-being. | eng | 0a7bc591-5b05-44ab-8ae3-5d20d3a4567e | https://www.lifespan.org/centers-services/healing-arts-lifespan/our-programs/heart-song |
WHY EARLY POTTY TRAINING IS BETTER POTTY TRAINING
It's WAY Easier To Train When Your Child Is In "The Zone"
As a general matter, training early is better than training later. Specifically, there is a window of opportunity that generally starts around 18-to-24 months and closes around 30 months, when your is behaviorally "ready" to potty train. At the beginning of this window your child will start demonstrating the communication skills and bodily awareness necessary for training—these, however, are the basics. What really matters is that during this time period your child will be very eager to please you as his or her parent.
If there is one KEY TAKEAWAY, it's to start potty training when you child is between 20-and-30 months old, if not earlier."
If you've already raised one child, you know that the "terrible two's" are really more like the "terrible two-and-three-quarters or early three's." In short, you want to start training before 30 months in order to avoid teaching a child who is old enough to want to be rebellious. By this we mean children who like to say "no" for the sake of saying no, which will make training exponentially more difficult. This rebelliousness is a natural part of your child's individuation process as detailed below—regardless of the cause, however, its best to avoid training during it.
The Science Behind "Early Is Better"
Its All About Brain Development (i.e. Train In "The Zone")
Starting early is crucial to successful potty training because you want to train your child BEFORE he or she progresses too far down the process of individuation (i.e. recognizing his or her own sense of being), which typically begins occurring around 12 months but really takes off after 30 months.
"Individuation" is the process through which you child begins to recognize his or her own sense of being.
Specifically, children younger than 30 months tend to be attached to their parents and to want to please them, making children under 30 months particularly open to toilet training. We call this "THE ZONE."
Once the process of individuation really takes off around 30 months, however, your child will begin saying "NO" and being defiant just for the sake of it. Training a child at this stage of the individuation process makes training exponentially more difficult. Furthermore, as children get older and become more self-aware, they naturally require more privacy and it can be difficult to "teach" potty training to a child who is demanding privacy.
The Real Reason People Are Starting So Late
Things Weren't Always This Way . . .
While many self-professed "experts" claim it is best to wait "until your child is ready" to potty train—by this they usually mean somewhere around three years old—waiting this long to potty train is a historical anomaly. Specifically, prior to the 1960's, potty training as early as 18 months was the norm in the United States. In fact, one 1957 study at Stanford University found that 92% of children were potty trained by the time they were 18 months old.
Prior to the 1960's the vast majority of children (over 90%) were potty trained by 18 months of age. This changed in the 1960's and 1970's when a world famous pediatrician (and PAID diaper company consultant) introduced 'child-led training.'"
This changed when the world famous pediatrician, Dr. T Berry Brazelton, began introducing a "child-led" approach to potty training in the 1960's. This approach relied on the child to decide when to become diaper free, with the predictable result that children began completing training later and later (according to a 1999 New York Times article, a then-recent large scale study had found that only 60% of children were potty trained at 36 months). Somewhat insidious, however, is the fact that Dr. Brazelton was a paid consultant for Proctor & Gamble or P&G, the owner of the Pampers line of diapers!
Since the advent of 'child-led training,' the age when the average U.S. child is potty trained has been pushed back significantly."
Large portions of the globe never caught onto the "child-led training" fad, and it is quite common in Asia and elsewhere for children to be almost completely trained by 18 months. In fact, it took a trip home to South Korea for one of the moms in our Real Life Potty Training Stories series to realize that she could really potty train her young son, which she did with great success. Thankfully, many true experts in the United States have recently begun to come back around to what the rest of the world has always known: early is better.
More Reasons To Start Early
Ditching Diapers Is Good For A LOT of Reasons
Other than the fact that training earlier is literally easier, there are real cost, environmental and time benefits from ditching diapers early. While the cost and environmental benefits may seem obvious, it has been estimated that changing diapers and related activities take around 9 hours a week of a caregiver's time—that is a tremendous hidden burden.
For working parents, perhaps as important as the time and cost savings is the fact that many preschools and some day cares have potty-trained-only policies, meaning completing your child's training earlier allows you to get back to work earlier.
Lastly, successful potty training is a huge confidence booster for your child. This will likely be the first task in life she will take ownership of—successfully completing it and stepping up into the world of "big boys and girls" provides a sense of belonging and accomplishment.
Our Call To Arms!
At One Proud Toddler (if you couldn't already tell) we are adherents to the early is better approach. While "child led" training has a nice ring to it, the fact is that adults are responsible for teaching children how to properly behave in this world, which includes using the toilet.
In short, we don't allow toddlers to make their own major life choices in other realms and potty training, as one of your child's first major learning exercises, is no exception! | eng | 47b69d94-e09e-4596-acdf-3e7b89de62c5 | https://oneproudtoddler.com/blogs/potty-training-explained/why-early-is-better |

How Long Can We Store The Soup?
Storing Chickpea Cabbage Soup properly will ensure its freshness and maintain its flavors. Here's how long and how you can store it:
Refrigeration
Cool First: Before storing the soup in the refrigerator, allow it to cool down to room temperature. This prevents the growth of bacteria and reduces the risk of the container warping from the heat.
Sealed Container: Once cooled, transfer the soup to an airtight container. This helps retain moisture and prevents the soup from absorbing other odors in the refrigerator.
Duration: Stored in this manner, the Chickpea Cabbage Soup should last 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
Freezing
Cool First: Let the soup cool down to room temperature, like refrigeration.
Portioning: If you plan to eat only part of the batch at a time, consider freezing the soup in individual portions. This makes it easier to thaw only what you'll consume.
Airtight Containers or Freezer Bags: Use freezer-safe containers or bags to prevent freezer burn. If using bags, lay them flat to save space and allow for quicker thawing.
Leave Space: If using a container, leave some space at the top, as the soup can expand when frozen.

Can AI help us filter out media misinformation and fake news?
5 minute read
The idea of a cognitive immune system - similar to our "standard" immune system, but to protect us against "bad" information - is not new. But with AI, it has new relevance, and it might give us a real-time shield against deception and misinformation in the media
Unless you're severely immunocompromised, you have a biological immune system to protect you against hostile bugs. It's an incredibly sophisticated biological protective shield, but like all armour, it's not perfect.
But do we have an immune system that protects us against bad ideas and deception (a "cognitive immune system")? It depends. In some ways, we do - we wouldn't survive long if we didn't have one. Think about how a child learns about the world. If you've never experienced a flame, and nobody has warned you to avoid putting your finger in one, then it's a lesson you'll learn quickly and probably only once. Similarly, most higher animals, from mice and cats to primates and humans, recognise the edge of a cliff or an open trapdoor and stay away from it.
When you move towards higher-order information, it's not as clear-cut because different people see the same things differently.
Atheists have issues with the fact that there are multiple religions in the world because there can't logically be several all-powerful gods. People of one or another religion have no problem, however, claiming that other religions are false. Ever-widening political divisions mean that we have few intrinsic internal checks and that your worldview can adapt to whatever you believe or feel comfortable with and, essentially, what your peers and broader community accept as the "truth".
So, is the truth entirely relative? Can there be multiple truths about the same "fact"? The answer, of course, depends on how you define "fact".
All of this is a preamble to the central topic of this discussion, which is, given that our cognitive immune system (if, indeed, that's what you can call it) is so subjective, so contingent on our belief system, can we reasonably expect AI to help us to determine what is true and what is false?
Let's look at the issues. First of all, what would this look like? It could take several forms.
Reducing hallucinations
You can already use AI in the form of Large Language Models (like ChatGPT) to verify information. This method is currently not dependable. LLMs' greatest skill is actually not being correct but being plausible. Not only do these AI models make mistakes, but they mask them by wrapping them in convincing language.
An LLM is a prediction model: it predicts the future in a very specific and limited way, which is that it predicts the next word in a sentence. If you have any experience whatsoever of using an LLM, you'll know that's an oversimplification, but it is at the core of how LLMs work. To be more specific, they don't just try to predict the next word but the next plausible word. So if the sentence so far is "I've spent the day fishing by the river "….", it knows the word is "bank", but also that it's a different bank from the sentence "I've just been to the high street "…." to pay my salary into my account". So it's working deeper than mere letters: it knows about context.
LLMs are trained with real sentences, paragraphs and entire literary works, which means they are trained in plausibility. It doesn't know how not to be plausible. This being the case, it is awkward when it makes mistakes because they seem plausible as well. Ask an LLM to give you a list of ten things, and the chances are that nine of them will be entirely correct but also that one of them will be plausible, convincing and completely wrong. This drawback is called "hallucinating". Hallucinations are very convincing.
But self-checking and cross-referencing with other LLMs will reduce the errors. At some point, these models will be more reliable than almost anything else - but when they do make mistakes, they will, unfortunately, be even more convincing and, hence, misleading.
If the best AI models designed to check and verify another AI's answers can't spot an error, we're even less likely to. This shortcoming might be something we have to get used to. You can never build a perfect aircraft, but knowing and accepting that means you can devise all sorts of redundancies, cross-checks, regulations and procedures to make it so unlikely to fail that we barely think about the possibility when we board a plane. And it's true: this works very well in practice.
The tsunami of information and content that we're deluged with every day is becoming increasingly challenging to filter. Ironically, much of this is due to AI, either curating and modifying our feeds to show us material designed to make us think one way or another - because that increases engagement and hence advertising revenue - or actually generating the content itself. What chance do we have when AI can generate photorealistic images of things that have never existed and can be created merely with a short text prompt, which another AI may have generated?
The best chance for us might be to use AI itself in a fact-checking role. As we saw earlier in this piece, this idea is not without issues when many of us can't agree on what a fact is. But facts are objective, or they're not facts. To be more precise, a fact is something that is independently verifiable.
What would an AI fact-checking system look like?
We're already part way there. It's clunky, but if you made a real-time transcription of, say, a news bulletin and fed it into an LLM, it could do some fact-checking. But you can immediately see some issues - especially if it's breaking news. How does an AI fact-checker deal with new information arriving in real-time? That AI model will only be trained on information that's existed before. But that's not a reason to think it could never work, because we are intelligent, and we deal with new information, mostly successfully. How is that possible?
It's possible because of context. Context is how we and AI "understand" things in relation to other things. We do it differently to AI because we have an internal "world model", which is our understanding of the world and how we interact with it. In their initial state, LLMs don't have a world model.
Nevertheless, LLMs do have virtually instant access to a vast body of information. An LLM will know from context whether to flag up apparent falsities. Whether or not it can do this in real-time is a big question, but through continuous improvement and optimisation, it is not unreasonable to think it could happen near-instantaneously.
But who trains the models? How do we know that they're objective? We don't. To achieve true objectivity, you must have an agreed set of rules and objective oversight over the material used to train AIs. That won't be easy, but again, possible.
What would it look like? Perhaps a traffic light in the corner of the screen. Green would mean, "This sounds plausible and is likely to be true", Amber would be, "We can't verify this", and Red would be, "We know this to be false or misleading".
I'm sure everyone reading this has the same thought: isn't this open to manipulation? Yes, it absolutely is. But there are ways to safeguard it. Trusted sources could act as "verification servers" to supply previously verified information as a reference for the AI. An AI safety belt only has to be better than not having one and to avoid misleading us.
Some might say that this is too big a step, that it's another arm of the "Nanny State". But I don't think so. You'll be able to turn it on and off.
Imagine you're in a library with all the books that have ever existed surrounding you. You read something that sounds a bit off, but you have means to verify or disprove what you're being told. The internet is like that, augmented by AI
The real question is: is the AI acting as a helpful librarian, or is it writing the books now?

So we're still in the middle of this 7 day post-hospital challenge.
In the past we haven't had the typical 'allergic' reactions like hives, but experienced some changes in behaviour with significant tantrums that were particularly hard for our son.
So we backed off, continued to work on gut healing, and have gone back for follow up challenges.
Why? Because the research suggests that those who can tolerate baked dairy are more likely to be able to tolerate non-cooked dairy in the future, than those who don't have (or keep) the dairy in their diet.
It would be wonderful to know that when eating out, he doesn't have to worry about his dairy allergy any more.
To date, he's no longer allergic to:
eggs

Call Stack: this is where your stack frames are as your code executes
Within JS , we have WebAPIs ,Callback queue, and Event Loops that is used to run the JS code that is responsible for to achieve Async.
Web API: this executes the timeout function and places the code in the callback queue
Call Back Queue: these are queues that hold callback functions to asynchronous operations when they have been completed in the background.
Eventloop: this checks if the call stack is empty or not or whether there is any statement in the callback queue that needs to be executed all the time
Try this below sample code
This example uses setTimeout to delay the printing of the log message by 2 seconds. And here setTimeout is part of the window object in the browse but not belongs to Javascript | eng | 8939bc4a-34a6-4efa-9e02-0f645b5db97d | https://tutorialslink.com/Articles/Javascript-Runtime-Environment/2524 |
Top Great Tips On Exercise
Find a form of exercise that you enjoy: It's easier to stick to an exercise routine if you actually enjoy the activities you're doing. Experiment with different types of exercise, such as running, swimming, cycling, dancing, or yoga, to find something that you enjoy and look forward to doing.
Set realistic goals:
It's important to set goals that are achievable and realistic, rather than trying to do too much too soon. For example, if you're just starting an exercise program, you might set a goal of walking for 30 minutes a day, rather than trying to run a marathon right away.
Make time for exercise:
It can be challenging to fit exercise into your busy schedule, but it's important to make time for it. Try to schedule your workouts in advance, and look for ways to incorporate movement into your daily routine, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator or going for a walk during your lunch break.
Warm up and cool down:
Always start your workouts with a proper warm-up to loosen your muscles and prepare your body for exercise. After your workout, spend a few minutes cooling down by gradually decreasing the intensity of your activity and stretching.
Listen to your body:
Exercise should leave you feeling energized, not exhausted. If you feel tired or sore after your workouts, take a break and rest for a day or two. It's important to allow your body time to recover and repair itself in order to avoid injury and improve performance.
Great Tips On Exercise
Find a form of exercise that you enjoy. Whether it's running, dancing, or lifting weights, choose something that you look forward to doing so that it becomes a sustainable part of your routine.
Set goals for yourself. Having a specific target to work towards can help you stay motivated and on track with your exercise routine.
Make time for exercise. It's important to schedule in time for physical activity, just like you would any other important task.
Mix things up. Your body adapts to the same routine over time, so it's important to switch up your workouts to challenge your muscles in new ways.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. Whether it's hiring a personal trainer or joining a group fitness class, getting guidance from a professional can help you reach your goals more effectively.
Listen to your body. Exercise should not cause you pain or discomfort. If something doesn't feel right, take a break or modify the activity.
Stay hydrated. It's important to drink plenty of water before, during, and after exercise to help your body perform at its best.
Don't get discouraged. It's natural to have ups and downs with your exercise routine, but it's important to stay consistent and not get discouraged by temporary setbacks.
Reward yourself. Celebrate your progress and accomplishments by treating yourself to something you enjoy, like a massage or a new piece of workout gear.
Remember the big picture. Exercise isn't just about the physical benefits; it can also improve your mental and emotional well-being. Keep this in mind to help stay motivated and focused on your goals.
Warm up before your workout. Take a few minutes to stretch or do a light cardio activity to get your body ready for more intense exercise.
Use proper form. It's important to use proper form when exercising to avoid injuries and get the most out of your workouts.
Don't forget to cool down. After your workout, take some time to stretch and allow your body to recover. This can help reduce muscle soreness and improve flexibility.
Find a workout buddy. Having a friend to exercise with can make workouts more enjoyable and help you stay accountable to your fitness goals.
Don't compare yourself to others. It's important to focus on your own progress and not compare yourself to others. Everyone's fitness journey is unique, and it's important to celebrate your own accomplishments.
Don't be afraid to try new things. There are so many different types of exercise out there, so don't be afraid to try new activities and find what works best for you.
Take breaks as needed. It's important to listen to your body and take breaks when you need them. Don't push yourself too hard, as this can lead to burnout or injury.
Be consistent. It's important to make exercise a regular part of your routine in order to see progress and achieve your goals.
Don't let weather hold you back. If it's too cold or hot to exercise outside, find ways to stay active indoors. This could include going to a gym or finding workouts you can do at home.
Find ways to make exercise fun. Whether it's listening to music or finding a new activity you enjoy, finding ways to make exercise enjoyable can help you stick with it in the long run. | eng | f997b072-ebfc-4c83-80e0-e58ea75c14ca | https://highranknews.com/top-great-tips-on-exercise/ |

About のがへた
~のが下手(へた) is a phrase that behaves in almost exactly the same way as ~のが上手(じょうず), but rather than meaning 'to be good at (A)', it means 'to be bad at (A)', (which is a much more handy expression, if you are like me!). This particular expression is used with the plain (dictionary) form of verbs only.
私(わたし)は漢字(かんじ)を教(おし)えるのが下手(へた)。
I am bad at teaching kanji.
彼(かれ)は運転(うんてん)するのが下手(へた)です。
He is bad at driving.
In these examples, we can see that there is no difference between Ichidan verbs and Godan verbs. Both will appear in their plain form. In this expression, のが is performing the same function as in the regular のは, and のが constructions. This function is nominalization (turning a phrase into a noun). However, のは cannot be used with this phrase, as が is always required with adjectives.
Caution
If you want to express that you were bad at something (in the past), the verb will still remain in the plain form, but 下手(へた) will change to the past tense. | eng | 993f5fe1-c4a5-432b-9d22-cacda389a506 | https://bunpro.jp/grammar_points/%E3%81%AE%E3%81%8C%E3%81%B8%E3%81%9F |
