Cultivating Connection: The Rise of Community Gardens and Urban Farming in [Your Area]
Unearthing the Green Revolution in [Your Area]
In recent years, a green revolution has been quietly sprouting in [Your Area]—community gardens and urban farming initiatives have been gaining traction, transforming pockets of urban landscapes into vibrant, sustainable oases. In this article, we delve into the roots of this movement, exploring the various benefits and initiatives that have fueled the growth of community gardens in our midst.
The Soil of Social Connection
Community Gardens as Gathering Spaces
Beyond the rows of vegetables and colorful blooms, community gardens serve as fertile ground for social connections. These green spaces act as communal meeting points, bringing together people from diverse backgrounds who share a common passion for cultivating the earth. Gardening workshops, seed exchanges, and collaborative projects not only enhance gardening skills but also foster a sense of community among participants.
Urban Farming for Food Security
As urban areas expand, concerns about food security become increasingly pertinent. Urban farming initiatives in [Your Area] aim to address this issue by promoting local food production. Rooftop gardens, vertical farming, and repurposed vacant lots are now flourishing with a variety of crops, providing fresh, nutritious produce for local residents. This not only reduces dependence on external food sources but also mitigates the environmental impact of long-distance transportation.
Greening Our Concrete Jungle
Environmental Benefits of Urban Farming
The benefits of community gardens and urban farming extend beyond social connections and food security—they also contribute to environmental sustainability. These green spaces act as urban lungs, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, thereby improving air quality. Additionally, they promote biodiversity, providing habitats for various species and enhancing the overall ecological balance in urban areas.
Reducing Urban Heat Islands
Asphalt and concrete prevalent in urban landscapes contribute to the creation of heat islands. Community gardens and urban farming projects incorporate green infrastructure, helping to cool the environment by providing shade and reducing the heat absorbed by concrete surfaces. This, in turn, contributes to a more comfortable and sustainable urban living environment.
Initiatives and Collaborations
Government Support and Community Partnerships
The success of community gardens and urban farming initiatives in [Your Area] is not a solo act. Local governments, recognizing the manifold benefits, have been providing support in the form of grants, land allocations, and policy incentives. Community partnerships with local businesses, schools, and nonprofit organizations have also played a pivotal role, creating a web of support that sustains these green initiatives.
Growing Together
In [Your Area], the seeds of community gardens and urban farming initiatives have found fertile ground, sprouting into a flourishing movement that extends far beyond the boundaries of individual plots. As we cultivate connections, safeguard our environment, and ensure food security, the green revolution in our urban landscape continues to thrive, fostering a more sustainable and interconnected community | eng | abaec630-af13-40d3-88c3-307a135f5b9c | https://quantumcristal.com/cultivating-connection-the-rise-of-community-gardens-and-urban-farming-in-your-area/ |
Dr Jonathan Leach looks at the role friends play within the recovery state of a person mental health problems. How friendship and support, even from a stranger can be therapeutic.
'Quite often talking is the best form of therapy and having someone who knows you, who you can confide in and can talk back to you on a personal level based on the fact they know you, can sometimes be very comforting.'
(Service user quoted in Leach, 2015)

BBC Radio 4's All in the Mind Awards invites listeners who have experienced mental health problems to nominate individuals or groups who have played a special role in their recovery.
One category for nominations is friends and family members, whilst other categories include those in paid and professional roles.
So what is the difference between the support that a friend or a professional can give?
This article looks at some the differences that exist between the roles of someone providing talking therapies, such as might be accessed through IAPT (Improving Access to Psychological Treatment), and the informal support provided by friends and relations.
The Collins Dictionary definition of 'therapy' is typical of many:
'the treatment of physical, mental, or social disorders or disease'.
More specifically the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) explains that: 'Counselling and psychotherapy are umbrella terms that cover a range of talking therapies.
They are delivered by trained practitioners who work with people over a short or long term to help them bring about effective change or enhance their wellbeing.'
So a therapeutic relationship is concerned with working towards change and dealing with problems, but what about friendships?
Sociologist Graham Allen (2008) has studied the nature of friendship and suggests that there are at least three key features in maintaining a friendly relationship: shared interests, equality and reciprocity.
We form friendships with other people because we like them.
However, those friendships are only likely to persist if both parties share enough of a common outlook, are roughly equal in terms of their social and economic status, and are able to give and take in providing mutual support.
People may be changed by their friendships, but this is not usually the main reason for engaging in them. Friendships are about having fun and for some people part of preserving a friendship may consist of taking their problems to a professional instead:
'It is much easier to talk to a stranger than to sit down and talk about certain personal issues with someone who knows you.
Part of your self-respect is to promote a healthy picture of yourself to friends, not to show all the eyesores that only you can see on the inside.'
(Student quoted in Leach, 2015)
In contrast to friendships, the relationship between therapist and client does not rely on shared interests (other than a successful outcome of the therapy), and is not based on equality of status or reciprocity.
In therapy there are clearly stated time limits and boundaries to the relationship, whereas in friendships the boundaries are less clear and are often up for negotiation. What is said in the consulting room is classed as private and confidential and so may encourage discussion of topics that it would be too embarrassing to mention to friends.
The therapist will have a structured approach to their interaction with their client which is based on psychological theories, training and supervised practice. Friends interact with each other in an intuitive manner and are unlikely to apply a structured and theory-based approach to their relationships.
When a friend is experiencing mental distress people tend to rely on their own experiences and understanding to provide help, some of which may work better than others.
Although friends may not be officially 'qualified' to support someone in distress, there is no doubt that their help can be greatly valued. Just being listened to can be very supportive, as can be the provision of companionship and distractions from worry:
'My friends who were there to talk, to make me cups of tea, to share their experiences or just take my mind off things with a silly movie and lots of cake!'
(Service user quoted in Leach, 2015)
Friends can help out in other ways too, such as providing practical support and advice and helping the distressed person to access other forms of support when the need arises.
They can give hugs and suggest fun things to do as well as providing a sympathetic ear.
Research on informal support indicates the value of being alongside the person in distress, taking their situation seriously, but without making it seem too catastrophic, and reminding the person of the small but positive steps they can take towards greater wellbeing through doing everyday activities such as going for a walk or watching a light-hearted film (Borg and Davidson, 2008).
There are things that trained therapists are better equipped and supported to do than friends, these include: opening up difficult emotional issues, identifying new ways of thinking about problems and challenging self-defeating beliefs and behaviours.
Taking everything into account it would seem that you don't have to be your friend's 'therapist' in order to help them and, in fact, you can be more helpful by being a good friend to them in a number of ways that a therapist can't Admin | eng | ba773604-f6b6-4d44-bb6b-32a826015ca3 | https://mentalhealthtraining.info/mental-health/is-talking-to-a-friend-the-best-kind-of-therapy |

In today's fast-paced world consumerism often takes the front seat. However, it's essential for all Sanatanis to pause and reflect on the subtle but significant changes occurring around us. Sanatani Identity is repeatedly under attack by 'Woke' brands. Big conglomerates and brands are subtly suppressing the rich culture of Bharat by eliminating elements like bindi, mangalsutra, and more from their advertisements. Are we prepared for this Battle against Brand Suppression? Can we reclaim or revive Sanatana Identity?
The Silent Subtle Suppression of Sanatana Identity
Sanatana identity is a celebration of traditions, customs, and values. The celebration of life is aptly phrased by the adage "बारह महीनों में तेरह त्यौहार |" These festivals and rituals have evolved over thousands of years and are part of the deeply rooted Sanatana Dharma and its culture. However, in recent times, Bharat has witnessed a troubling trend in advertising by big brands. In their pursuit of global appeal, 'liberal' leanings, and secularism; brands have slowly begun erasing the distinctive marks of Sanatana identity from their campaigns.
Missing Symbols of Sanatana Identity
PC OdiaLive
In 2021, the Bindi was photoshopped out of the ads by Reliance Jewelry ads. Bindi, the mark of pride for Sanatani women, was also missing from PNG jewelers' ads. The brands went out of their way to deny symbols of the majority of Bharat. Was this not a clear contempt of Sanatana Identity? Was this not overtly pushing secularism down the throats of Sananti consumers?
PC Times Now
In 2021, the clothing brand Fab India faced criticism for removing all Hindu references from a Diwali ad campaign named "Jashn-e-Riwaaz". The brand defended itself by using secularism as a key to celebrating Diwali.
However, their Diwali celebration ads were without the standard puja, tilak, or even diya.
How did this advertisement relate to the biggest festival for Sanatana Dharma? Why was secularism used as a key element for a Diwali Advertisement?
Propagation of Woke Secularism
In 2020, the jewelry brand Tanishq also stepped into hot water to showcase a 'secular' marriage and its baby shower. The brand went secular by highlighting a Hindu-Muslim couple in a 'Woke' baby shower. Why was a 'godbharai rasam', a symbol of spirituality and celebration of motherhood, used for pushing 'Woke' secularism?
Why are symbols of Sanatana Identity conspicuously missing from many brand advertisements today? It's a subtle yet potent suppression of Sanatana Dharma. By doing so, these brands inadvertently send a message that these sacred symbols are no longer appealing to the youth or masses. By extension, they are negating the entire Bhartiya identity and Sanatani customs in the new generation's minds.
Power of The Purse
PC United Way of Midland
As Sanatanis, it's our duty to preserve and protect our identity. In times of severe suppression by subtle narratives, the only recourse left is the power of the purse. Sanatani consumers need to use this potent tool at their disposal to demand the removal of objectionable ads. In the modern consumerist society, Brands have to listen to their consumers. Thus, in the upcoming festivals, Sanatani voices can demand that Brands that want Hindu business must correctly represent Sanatana culture and values. If a brand's campaign misrepresents Sanatana Dharma or its identity, Bharatvasi must ensure that our voices are heard through boycotts or protests.
A Call for Reclaim
PC Harper's BAZAAR
The recent reload of Sanatana Dharma and its values into Bharat has forced brand campaigns in India to face a strong backlash for their cultural insensitivity. Particularly, social Media campaigns like #NoBindiNoBusiness, #boycottTanishq, #BoycottFabIndia, etc. have helped Sanatanis reclaim the power of narrative building. Bharat has repeatedly made brands face the wrath of the majority. These 'Woke' and 'Secular' conglomerates were forced to issue public apologies and take corrective actions.
As the festival season approaches, it's a wake-up call for Sanatanis. Let's pause our retail-therapy dreams for a moment and reflect on the power we hold as consumers. Thus, by demanding accuracy and respect in brand campaigns, we can forge a new path that celebrates our rich heritage, our customs, and our values.
Moreover, we as a society must celebrate our identity. We must wake up from 'Woke' dreams to rescue our rituals from the clutches of commercialization. Let's celebrate bindis, mangalsutras, and our rituals proudly. Let's demand that brands represent our culture accurately, without dilution or misrepresentation. Moreover, let those who ignore us face our fury and protests. Let's use the 'Power of Purse' to ensure that brands respect and honor our culture. Therefore, this upcoming festive season, let's celebrate not just with lights and sweets but with a renewed commitment to safeguarding our Sanatani identity. | eng | f5acda57-b06f-4afb-9f1e-426f2febb46e | https://www.thejaipurdialogues.com/sanatana/reviving-sanatana-identity-the-battle-against-brand-suppression/ |
Spin-orbit coupling and magnetocrystalline anisotropy
Magnetic recording would not be possible without a relativistic effect called spin-orbit coupling. It determines the orientation of the spins with respect to the crystal lattice, or the magnetocrystalline anisotropy. The strength of this effect determines the storage density on an magnetic storage device. Therefore, finding new materials with large magnetocrystalline anisotropies is of substantial importance and the theoretical understanding of this material-dependence is achieved by extensive ab-initio calculations. The picture on the right shows a Pt(111) step edge decorated with Co atoms. The formed Co wires are an example of a low-dimensional magnetic system that has an highly anisotopic out-of-plane magnetization.
(X.Nie, A. Shick, G. Bihlmayer, S.Blügel).
Electric fields on surfaces
In many experimental techniques (like in scanning tunneling microscopy) an electric field acts on a surface. How the electronic structure of a surface or interface (e.g. in a tunneljunction) is changed by this field can be studied on a ab-inito (quantum mechanical) basis. The figure shows the screening charge induced in the a Xe covered Ag(001) surface when a field is applied. We can see that the screening still occurs at the metal surface and not where the adsorbate sits and that the adsorbate atom becomes polarized.
(S.Clarke, M. Weinert, S. Blügel).
Magnetic surfaces with spin-polarized STM
Direct observation of the two-dimensional atomic scale antiferromagnetic structure of a monolayer magnetic film by spin-polarized scanning tunneling microscopy (SP-STM). All atoms of the monolayer film (red and green) are of the same chemical species (Mn) and differ only by the orientation of their magnetic moment. Using a magnetic probe tip it is possible to measure an SP-STM image (see the height profile) showing one kind of magnetic atoms (red) as hills and the other kind (green) as valleys, i.e. a direct image of the atomic scale magnetic order within the magnetic film. | eng | 8d2c5f3c-823b-4ae9-ab22-112f7e961468 | https://www.fz-juelich.de/en/pgi/pgi-1/research/nanomagnetism/nanomagnetism |

Genetic Susceptibility to COVID-19
Perhaps one of the most unique characteristics of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the large variability in infection-related morbidity and mortality. Disparities have been noted on several levels: between different ethnic groups and even within relatively homogenous demographics. Questions remain as to why some healthy, young adults have asymptomatic or mild infections while others require admission to the intensive care unit. For some researchers, these trends point towards the possibility of genetic and evolutionary determinants of COVID-19 susceptibility.1
For patients with known genetic abnormalities, deletory effects on immune response to infection might be expected. For example, inborn errors of immunity, which include primary immunodeficiencies, increase susceptibility to a number of different infections, COVID-19 included, as well as autoimmune, inflammatory, and allergic diseases.2 A study performed by the COVID Human Genetic Consortium demonstrated that a myriad of monogenic predispositions which had been previously associated with influenza susceptibility also increased susceptibility to COVID-19. By performing both exomic and genomic sequencing on a large cohort of critically ill COVID-19 patients, the Consortium revealed thirteen such genes, including core immune genes TLR3, IRF7 and IRF9.2
However, most individuals with genetic susceptibility to COVID-19 infection likely have a more complex etiology, orchestrated by multiple genes. The growing prevalence of genetic testing, both commercially and in healthcare settings, has made large-scale GWAS studies in the COVID-19 era possible. For example, the largest meta-analysis of genetic susceptibility to COVID-19 infection included approximately 125,500 cases and over 2.5 million controls.3 As a result of this mass study, the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative identified almost two dozen loci significantly associated with disease susceptibility or severity. One locus which was particularly prominent in their findings was on chromosome three, location 3p21.31 – a gene thought to encode an ACE-2 interacting sodium transporter.3 Given that SARS-CoV-2 targets the ACE-2 receptor on the cell membrane, the relationship between the 3p21.31 locus and increased disease susceptibility is consistent with known mechanisms of COVID-19 infection.
As previously mentioned, significant discrepancies in the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection have been noted across different ethnicities. Individuals of European ancestry tend to have reduced morbidity and mortality related to infection. While there is speculation that this disparity could be attributed to pervasive socioeconomic differences across racial groups, adjusting for these variables failed to fully ameliorate the difference for Black and South Asian populations, suggesting additional factors at play.4 Continued investigation revealed one unexpected predictor for susceptibility to COVID-19 infection: Neanderthal ancestry.5,6,7 A study conducted by the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative reported that a roughly 75kb haplotype, which is likely traceable to Neanderthal descent and is absent in African Homosapiens, is associated with a nearly 25 percent reduction in hospitalization risk due to COVID-19.6 The haplotype encodes antiviral enzymes which contribute to improved immunity. However, the beneficial effect of this haplotype may be negated by the inheritance of other, less advantageous genes: on chromosome 3, 3p21.31, a 50kb Neanderthal haplotype has been linked to increased severity of COVID-19 infection.7 This specific Neanderthal haplotype is at least three times more prevalent in South Asian populations and is associated with as much as a 60 percent increase in hospitalization.7
Overall, much is still to be learned concerning evolutionary and genetic susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection, particularly when it comes to the influence of Neanderthal ancestry on disease severity. However, continued investigation will continue to improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying severe COVID-19 infection and may even help us to better identify at-risk populations or create more targeted curative treatments. | eng | c5bc416c-81fd-4be2-bf8a-27df258d0697 | https://xenonhealth.com/genetic-susceptibility-to-covid-19/ |

What Determines the Value of a Cryptocurrency?
The price of cryptocurrency is more understandable and consists of many central parts. Depending on the technology used in developing a cryptocurrency, the parameters for forming the value of a digital asset may differ. Decentralized assets are highly resistant to market changes and other negative factors, which should be taken into account when planning all your costs. By using public registries, it is possible to ensure the simplicity, security, and transparency of any modern cryptocurrency.
As a rule, cryptocurrency prices directly depend on the security of a particular digital asset. Specific bugs can be embedded in the coding, so attackers can take advantage of such vulnerabilities, which will lead to the loss of a large number of cryptocurrency assets stored in users' wallets.
Many companies introduce specific changes to their Blockchains to comply with certain security requirements. As a result, users cannot independently make significant changes to the program code which could lead to negative consequences. Each of the cryptocurrency options has its characteristics and advantages. Individual forks can make reaching a certain consensus among network participants difficult, leading to unpleasant factors. That is why it is essential to understand all the main pricing mechanisms in the modern cryptocurrency market.
Number of active users
The number of nodes is one of the critical indicators of quality and cryptocurrency price. Typically, the number of active nodes indicates the number of active users and cryptocurrency wallets on the network that can be used on the web. Usually, all information about the assets used is displayed on the corresponding pages of a particular cryptocurrency. These parameters can be viewed in real-time.
To analyze the formation of a positive fair value, it is necessary to familiarize yourself with the number of active nodes, as well as evaluate the market capitalization of the cryptocurrency. Comparing these indicators with other cryptocurrencies is essential to distribute them among other cryptocurrencies rationally. This is one of the critical ways that will help you find out if a cryptocurrency has been repurchased.
The number of nodes also shows how developed the community of a particular digital asset is. The greater the number of actively used nodes, the more functional and in demand is the cryptocurrency in question. It is also essential to correctly calculate the currency's value to reduce the risks of a crisis and the loss of your investments.
Demand for cryptocurrency
Major online exchanges help track the cryptocurrency prices live, which makes things easier for many beginners and experienced investors. It is essential to consider the parameters of the market capitalization of an asset to choose the best option for managing your funds. Due to the high growth in popularity and decision-making by many firms, many countries are trying to introduce cryptocurrency into everyday life using available market tools. That is why the value of cryptocurrency is constantly rising, and the value is growing, which makes digital assets a profitable investment for everyone.
Supply and demand are fundamental factors that influence the cryptocurrency price today. For example, the more people try to buy a cryptocurrency, the higher its value and vice versa. The limited amount of supply makes the asset even more valuable, which affects the growth of its value. At the same time, the cryptocurrency market may change based on other factors. For example, moods among people or any major world events, news directly affect.
Mass distribution
If If
Fiat asset inflation
If cryptocurrency prices today fall, then the value of a digital asset grows in these currencies. This can be explained by the fact that with the help of cryptocurrency, you can purchase a lot more investments than fiat funds. This phenomenon can be seen with various holdings because banks encourage artificial inflation by printing much more money and lowering interest rates on citizens' deposits.
Development cost
It is also essential to consider the costs of developing certain digital assets. The cost of a particular cryptocurrency directly depends on this. For example, the high cost of producing a cryptocurrency shows the limited supply of this asset and increases its value. The resources invested in mining can be perceived as factors that affect the increase in value. Also, for the extraction of most of the cryptocurrencies, technical installations, and technical equipment are required. You need to purchase a powerful computer and a modern cooling system.
Despite the popularity of cryptocurrencies, there are questions about more efficient and affordable mining of cryptocurrencies for each user so that the means used are safe and environmentally friendly.
Regulatory issues
At the moment, cryptocurrency is not regulated by central authorities. At the same time, much is being done to use adjustment tools to control digital assets and earn citizens. Some organizations are even trying to ban the use of cryptocurrencies.
The main features of the formation of the value of cryptocurrency
You should regularly get acquainted with the current list of cryptocurrencies' prices. It is also essential to pay attention to such features of pricing:
The cost of cryptocurrency changes quickly, so assessing all possible risks and development potential at the initial stages is difficult.
The usefulness and actual weight of a digital asset determine the long-term value of a cryptocurrency. Understanding that security and usability parameters are essential in developing the cryptocurrency market is also important.
Accurately predicting the value of a cryptocurrency is quite problematic, but it is an exciting question for beginners and experienced traders.
It is essential to familiarize yourself carefully with all the intricacies of the formation of the value of a cryptocurrency to choose a profitable trading instrument that works right now.
A wide variety of cryptocurrencies on the modern market makes investing for novice investors quite tricky. You need to carefully read all the factors affecting pricing to choose the best digital asset | eng | acf3f9a3-90ab-43cd-ac4e-3389e11bf971 | https://riverjournalonline.com/business/what-determines-the-value-of-a-cryptocurrency/67231/ |
A Guide to Photographing October's Night Sky
NASA has released a guide to the night sky in October advising that planetary giants, partial eclipses, and meteor showers will all be visible this month.
The space agency notes that stargazers will find Jupiter and Saturn southeast in the early evening and the pair will gradually move westward over the course of the night. The two gas giants will form a triangle with Fomalhaut, a bright star found in the "Southern Fish" constellation.
"When observing this trio, note how the planets shine with a steady light, while the star twinkles. This can be an easy way to know if what you're looking at is a planet or a star," writes NASA on its blog.
Mars' U-Turn
Mars has been moving east all year but in October it will reverse course and start to head westward. It will continue in this direction until January when it will continue its eastward journey.
This phenomenon is called the retrograde motion of Mars and it happens roughly every two years. The illusion is caused by the differing orbits of Earth and the Red Planet.
About every 26 months Earth overtakes Mars and during this period Mars appears to change direction in the sky, even though it is still continuing with its normal orbit.
This was once a great mystery in astronomy but it is now known to be the sign that two planets are passing each other.
Meteors, Moons, and a Partial Eclipse
The Orionid meteor shower peaks during mid-October each year and is a highlight of the comet calendar. It is expected to be at its strongest on October 20, producing 10 to 20 meteors per hour.
Meanwhile, October's full moon will come in on October 9 with the new moon arriving on October 25.
And on the same date as the new moon, the Sun will undergo a partial eclipse as it appears that a bite has been taken out of it.
The moon's shadow will fall on parts of the Earth, unfortunately not in the U.S. where it won't be visible. However, swathes of Africa, Asia, and Europe will be able to see it, the best vantage point will be from Russia and the north pole. | eng | 1eaa6447-fd88-47c6-a3a4-d34ee3559fa2 | https://science-writing.org/a-guide-to-photographing-octobers-night-sky/ |
Explained | Taxing windfall profits of oil companies
Source: The post is based on the article "Explained | Taxing windfall profits of oil companies" published in The Hindu on 16th February 2023
What is the News?
The Union government has hiked the windfall profit tax levied on domestically-produced crude oil as well as on the export of diesel and aviation turbine fuel(ATF).
What are Windfall Profits?
'Windfall profits' refer to an unanticipated spike in earnings of an entity resulting from an exogenous event (which could be one-off and/or prolonged) and not resulting from a business decision.
The B.K. Chaturvedi committee's report on the Financial Position of Oil Companies (2008) stated that taxing these windfall gains has been seen as a prerogative of governments, in part to meet social needs and in part to pursue redistributive justice.
The central idea here is for sovereigns to capitalize on the lofty profits made by the entities and use it for specific domestic pursuits, for example, spur collections (of taxes) to guard against the consequences of a larger geopolitical event or redistribute them for it to be used for domestic social service schemes, among other reasons.
What led to the windfall gains for oil companies?
Russia's actions in Ukraine were central to the volatility observed in the oil market in the previous calendar year.
For perspective, Russia was among the major players in the global oil market and among the largest producers alongside Saudi Arabia and the U.S. As a response to Russia's actions, several Western countries moved to stop or curtail their energy imports from Russia.
This led to sharp increases in fossil fuel prices as countries went to look for other suppliers for their energy needs, culminating in major profits for oil companies | eng | 9a44abf4-9549-45fc-b582-285feaf6e681 | https://blog.forumias.com/explained-taxing-windfall-profits-of-oil-companies/ |
Porta-Potty vs. Restroom Trailer: Which Is Right for You?
Flood's Royal Flush
August 31, 2021
Figuring out the correct bathroom setup for your guests or workers is extremely important when organizing events and worksites. Your decision may be influenced by the environment and the needs of the individuals who will be using the bathrooms. If you're wondering, "Should you get a restroom trailer or a porta-potty?" read on to find the answer.
Atmosphere
For many outdoor events, such as concerts and festivals, having enough porta-potties to meet every person's needs is the perfect solution to solve people's bathroom needs. However, suppose your event calls for an upscale atmosphere, like a wedding. In that case, you may find that a more luxurious option like a portable restroom trailer offers a lot more amenities for guests. These include options like mirrors, running water, A/C, extra space, and more help make guests feel like they are in their bathroom at home.
Available Utilities
In some areas, you may not have access to running water or power. Porta-potties can be a fantastic alternative in these situations because they can operate without these utilities and get serviced to keep them fresh throughout the day. When you have consistent access to these utilities, you can use lights, running water, and other amenities within a restroom trailer, making visitors feel more comfortable.
Number of People
Determine how many people you anticipate attending your event. When you expect a large audience, porta-potties are flexible enough to be put beside each other in a row to handle more significant events such as summer festivals and sporting events. Restroom trailers are convenient when you're looking to accommodate a smaller-scale event.
Location Size
When you are operating in a location where there isn't much additional space for a full-sized restroom trailer, porta-potties will typically be the better alternative. Because the units are more compact, they are perfect for placing in confined and discrete locations.
Check the Forecast
Portable bathroom trailers are an excellent choice for hotter and colder environments since the temperature inside can be changed. During the summer and winter months, you should think about what the weather will be like outside before making a rental.
When you're wondering if you should get a restroom trailer or a porta-potty, each circumstance will help dictate the best choice. Portable trailers are an excellent option for luxury events in spacious settings, but porta-potties can be a better solution for larger crowds and more enclosed spaces.
Floods Royal Flush offers the best choices for a portable restroom rental in Chicago, and we can assist you with all of your needs the next time you organize an event or job site.

Don't spend a fortune traveling—those tips could save you hundreds!
Share
Traveling is a common activity for many people, and it can be both exciting and challenging at the same time. Here are some tips to help you make a safe trip.
Be aware of your surroundings, avoid unfamiliar places, and stay on the main roads.
Carry traveler's insurance, especially if you have health issues or if you have children with you.
Keep your documents in order: passport, visa, plane tickets, etc.
Be organized for emergency conditions consisting of herbal failures or terrorist attacks
Traveling is a great way to broaden your horizons and see the world. However, it can also be a dangerous experience. In order to have an enjoyable trip, you have to do your research and understand the safety alerts in other countries.
There are two main ways that people travel:
1) Citizens traveling: These are people who live in one country but want to travel abroad for vacation or business purposes. Be prepared for emergency situations, which include natural disasters or terrorist attacks!
2) Foreign travelers: These are people who live outside their home country but want to visit another country for vacation or business purposes. They don't need visas because they are not citizens of the country they're visiting. They just require a passport and some documentation from their home country that proves that they're allowed into another country without requiring a visa first.
Traveling can be an exciting, fulfilling, and rewarding experience. However, it also comes with risks that need to be considered.
How to Travel for Less, 6 Tips for Succeeding
Traveling can be expensive, but it doesn't have to be. You can save money on your next trip by following these five tips.
1) Stay in Hostels: Hostels are a great way to save money when you travel. They are usually cheaper than a hotel room, and they provide a communal atmosphere where you can meet other travelers and make friends.
2) Visit the US: The US is one of the most expensive countries in the world to visit, so it's important to know where you can find cheap flights, hotels, and food.
3) Avoid Tourism: Tourists are always looking for the most popular attractions such as temples, monuments, or beaches—which often cost more than what locals pay for them. Instead of visiting these tourist attractions that cost more, visit local markets or small shops that sell local goods and souvenirs.
4) Ride Public Transportation: Public transportation is often cheaper than taking taxis or renting cars; it's also easier on the environment.
5) Go to the Countryside: It's not always possible to see the beautiful countryside in a big city, but if you want to get out of the city, take a bus or train and visit one of these places.
6) Eat at Home: Eating out every day can add up. Instead of eating food that is high in calories and sugar, cook your own meals at home instead – it will be much cheaper and healthier for you!
Top 5 Ways to Save Money on Your Next Trip
The United States is the most expensive country to visit. This is a fact that many travelers are not aware of, but it's true. However, there are ways to save money on your next trip and these five tips will help you get started:
Travel during the off-season.
Stay in hostels instead of hotels.
Use public transportation and avoid taxis/Uber/Lyft when possible.
Opt for a cheaper destination like Mexico or Thailand instead of Europe or North America
Get creative with your travel experience by going on an adventure trip or volunteering abroad.
Who should stay in where? How To find which places with the cheapest rates?
The idea of finding the best places to stay for a particular budget is not new. However, technology has changed, and with it, the way people search for a place to stay. We have seen how big companies like Expedia and Airbnb have revolutionized the travel industry by providing alternatives to traditional hotel booking platforms.
Check for safety
The embassy or consulate in your destination country can provide advice on the best way to obtain emergency help in case you need it. You can also visit the embassy's website for more information on what to expect at the destination country's embassy or consulate.
It is important to know the safety alerts and precautions before traveling abroad. There are some countries that have a lot of safety alerts and advisories. These countries are also known as high-risk countries.
Canada has a lot of safety warnings for travelers, but it also has many opportunities for travelers to enjoy themselves. There are many things to do in Canada besides visiting the capital city, Ottawa. You can go skiing or snowboarding in the winter, or enjoy some sun in the summer.
When you are planning your vacation, it is significant to be aware of the safety alerts and potential risks that may come up along the way.
If you require some extra help on your trip, office-Tourisme-USA can help you with your travel itinerary, plan a trip or even find a cheap flight. You can also use Covid-19 to spell-check your texts before sending them and make sure that they are free of any mistakes.
Covid-19 provides travelers with an easy way to stay safe while they're away from home. It provides emergency alerts during emergencies and safety tips for travelers in order to keep them informed about their surroundings.

The 1950s (pronounced nineteen-fifties; commonly abbreviated as the "Fifties" or the "'50s") (among other variants) was a decade that began on January 1, 1950, and ended on December 31, 1959.
Throughout the decade, the world continued its recovery from World War II, aided by the post-World War II economic expansion. The period also saw great population growth with increased birth rates and the emergence of the baby boomer generation.
Despite this recovery, the Cold War developed from its modest beginnings in the late 1940s to a heated competition between the Soviet Union and the United States by the early 1960s. The ideological clash between communism and capitalism dominated the decade, especially in the Northern Hemisphere
In the United States, a wave of anti-communist sentiment known as the Second Red Scare aka McCarthyism resulted in Congressional hearings by both houses in Congress. In the Soviet Union, the death of Joseph Stalin would lead to a political campaign and reforms known as "De-Stalinization" initiated by Nikita Khrushchev leading to the deterioration between the relationship of the USSR and the People's Republic of China in the 60s.
The beginning of the Cold War lead to beginning of the Space Race with the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957 and the United States would create NASA in response in 1958. Along with increased testing of nuclear weapons (such as RDS-37 and Upshot–Knothole) called the arms race, the tense geopolitical situation created a politically conservative climate.
The beginning of decolonization in Africa and Asia also took place in this decade and accelerated in the following decade albeit would lead to several conflicts throughout the decade and so on. Wars include the First Indochina War, Malayan Emergency, Korean War, the Algerian War, the First Sudanese Civil War, the Vietnam War, the Cuban Revolution, and the Suez Crisis. Coups include the Egyptian revolution, the Iranian coup d'état, the Guatemalan coup d'état, the 14 July Revolution in Iraq, and the Pakistani coup d'état in 1958.
Television, which first reached the marketplace in the 1940s, became a common innovation in American homes during the 1950s culminating in the Golden Age of TV. This led many to purchase more products and upgrade whatever they currently had resulting in mass consumerism. While outside of America, it would take a few decades for TV to become commonplace in other countries.
The 1950s saw a turning point for polio with the successful discovery of the polio vaccine. Following the widespread use of poliovirus vaccine in the mid-1950s, the incidence of poliomyelitis declined rapidly in many industrialized countries while it would gradually decline for the next few decades in developing countries reducing the number of death rates from this disease.
During the 1950s, the world population increased from 2.5 to 3.0 billion, with approximately 1 billion births and 500 million deaths. | eng | 45d0623b-682a-4fad-84d5-c33fbf122255 | https://www.devopscloud.io/doku.php?id=1950s |
MULTILINGUAL DATA LABELING
As AI technology becomes more and more advanced, it is no surprise that people are utilizing its capabilities for various applications. From healthcare to retail to consumer products, AI can bring immense value to any organization. However, a key factor in the success of any AI-based system is data labeling.
WHAT IS DATA LABELING?
Data labeling is the process of categorizing and organizing data in order to make it machine readable. This allows machines to identify patterns, trends, and relationships in data that would otherwise go unnoticed. By doing so, AI can make more accurate predictions and decisions. Data labeling plays a crucial role in the success of AI-based systems, and organizations must make sure they have the right protocols in place to ensure accurate data labeling. With proper data labeling techniques, AI can bring a wealth of new opportunities to any business. It is important to understand the importance of data labeling and how it can drive success when utilizing AI.
LABELED VS UNLABELED DATA
Labeled and unlabeled data both play an integral role in the data labeling process. Labeled data provides machines with an accurate way to learn and classify similar types of data, while unlabeled data provides them with a range of new learning opportunities. Together, these two types of data allow machines to become even more accurate and efficient in labeling data and making decisions.
LABELED DATA
Data that has already been tagged with a specific label or set of labels., oftentimes used if you're looking for specific insights related to pre-defined categories.
UNLABELED DATA
MULTILINGUAL DATA LABELING AND HOW AKORBI CAN HELP
Data labeling is a powerful tool that can be used to label and organize a variety of source types. From video, image and text sources, data labeling can help to better understand and analyze data in order to make more informed decisions.
Video data labeling can be used for applications such as object detection and tracking, while image data labeling can help identify objects or features in an image. Text data labeling can be used to categorize text-based data into topics or classes. No matter the type of source, data labeling is a valuable tool for organizing and understanding data. With it, organizations can gain insights into their data and use it to make better decisions. So if you're looking for a way to organize and analyze your data, look no further than data labeling. It's an efficient and powerful tool that can be used to quickly sort and understand any type of source. With data labeling, you can turn your data into valuable insights.
EXAMPLE USE CASES FOR MULTILINGUAL DATA LABELING
Natural Language processing
Data labeling plays an important role in natural language processing as it helps machines understand the context of written information, allowing them to better interpret and analyze the data. By labeling words and phrases with specific categories, machines can understand the intent of language and properly identify topics.
language data annotation
Data labeling helps to categorize, organize and label text data to make it easier to interpret and understand. With the help of AI algorithms, data labeling can be done quickly and accurately. It also helps to identify the most important words, phrases and topics in a given text.
Chatbots
Labeling helps bots identify and understand the data that they process, enabling them to differentiate between different types of user queries and provide accurate responses. Labeling also allows bots to be more efficient in their interactions with the user, as they can react quickly and accurately to their requests, where the data is then tagged. By tagging data, bots can be taught how to respond in different scenarios and learn from their mistakes.
Text-to-speech
By labeling data with specific tags and markers, computers can more accurately understand the context of spoken words and phrases and how to pronounce them. Data labeling also helps with intonation, as it gives a computer information about the tone of a sentence, helping to create more natural sounding TTS conversions.
Named Entity recognition (ner)
Labeled data provides a set of annotations that can be used to train a model to recognize text entities, helping the model understand which words or phrases represent specific entities and makes it easier for the model to make accurate predictions. By having labeled data, NER models can learn to recognize entities more quickly and accurately than when trained on unstructured data.
Customer Sentiment Analysis
By using data labeling to analyze customer reviews, companies can identify which features of their products customers like or dislike and make informed decisions about how to improve their products. Data labeling also helps companies better understand customer sentiment, by allowing them to categorize reviews or social media posts as positive, negative, or neutral.
SUPERVISED VS. UNSUPERVISED LEARNING
Supervised learning and unsupervised learning are two major categories of machine learning. Both approaches to machine learning can be incredibly useful in solving complex problems, but it's important to understand the differences between the two so you can pick the right one for your project. With supervised learning, you have an idea of what kind of outcome you want and can tailor your model accordingly.
When it comes to labeling data, there are two main approaches: supervised and unsupervised learning. Supervised learning is the process of using labeled data to train an algorithm, which allows it to make predictions about unseen data. Unsupervised learning, on the other hand, does not use labeled data. Instead, it relies on the algorithm to identify patterns and trends in the data without any prior knowledge of what those patterns may be.
BENEFITS OF MULTILINGUAL DATA LABELING
AUDIO ANNOTATION
The process of taking sound recordings and clips of conversation to identify sounds in the audio, which will then be used to provide contextual information around the sound.
DOMAIN SPECIFIC DATA
Dataset is created to be specific to your domain in interest, making it easier for you to quickly and accurately create the data labels your project requires, while offering a more refined approach data storage and analysis.
SCALABLE
Labeling allows data scientists to classify the data they are working with, so that algorithms can learn from it and identify patterns more accurately. This helps improve scalability with AI by enabling faster and more accurate analysis of large datasets.
IMPROVED ACCURACY
Labeled data provides training data that can better detect patterns in data, which allows the AI system to more accurately recognize new inputs, helping them recognize new information more quickly.
MULTILINGUAL DATA LABELING AND MACHINE LEARNING
Data labeling is a crucial part of machine translation, as it helps teach the software how to correctly interpret language. For example, if you label a certain phrase as "greeting", the machine translation software will know to translate it in an appropriate way. This helps ensure that the machine translation is accurate and effective. Data labeling also helps the software learn how to make connections between words, allowing it to better recognize patterns of language. Additionally, data labeling helps the software to better understand context and pick up on nuances of language. All in all, data labeling is an important element in helping machines understand language, and is essential for producing quality machine translations. By providing the software with a set of labels, you can make sure your translations are as accurate and effective as possible.
MULTILINGUAL DATA SECURITY
SECURED ACCESS
Organizations can implement firewalls, encrypt data with passwords and restrict access to specific users. These measures ensure that labels are only applied by authorized personnel who understand the data and its usage. This helps reduce the likelihood of mistakes being made, as well as the risk of data being misused by unauthorized people.
DATA CONFIDENTIALITY
Akorbi will keep your data entirely secured and confidential. Ensuring data privacy and keeping the labeled information protected, organizations can ensure that they have accurate insights, and no malicious actors are able to exploit the data. It helps to protect customers' privacy, as well as the organization's reputation and trustworthiness.
AUTOMATED COMPLIANCE
When it comes to data labeling, businesses need to ensure compliance with the relevant laws and regulations in order to avoid any legal issues. Automation can help ensure that data labeling is done correctly and efficiently, as it can take care of the tedious task of manually checking labels for accuracy.
AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION
Authentication is the process of verifying someone's identity before granting them access to confidential information. Authorization involves granting users certain rights and privileges with regards to the data they can access or modify. Together, these two processes provide an extra layer of security for sensitive data labeling.

Construction Scheduling and Planning
PERT – Basic Concept
PERT was first used by NASA to manage their ventures and to prepare flow charts of their operations where the duration of activities are mostly guessed works and estimation of cost highly depends on such guess works.
PERT, stands for Program Evaluation and Review Technique, a practical display of a theoretical developed plan which is designed to investigate and show the task required for completing a project. The technique of PERT chart works together in complement with the concept of identifying the activity which can influence the project completion time this concept in project management is called the critical path technique, CPM.
PERT network mesh gives details about an activity involved in the project, besides that it gives suitable information about the interrelation of different activities and how long they would take to get completed. This chart comprises several nodes. There is no fixed number of nodes, however, as a rule of thumb two nodes one at the beginning known as initiating node and one at the end known as closing/ending node, form part of the PERT chart. If a various number of tasks form the initiation of the project then all the activities will begin from the initiating node. Every task is assigned with a code, and a line is drawn to connect it to the inheriting activity. This line is assigned a special coded name or the real name of the activity, and it gives information about the resources allocated to the activity and the duration required for the activity to get completed is also given. The other end of the line concludes at a new node representing the initiation of a new task, or the start of slack time, that is available or waiting duration among the tasks.
Every task representing a job is related to its inheritor in such a way that they form a mesh of nodes and connectors. The chart gets completed once all the final tasks join the completion node simultaneously. If the slack duration is there among the end of one job and start of another, then a hatched or dotted line is drawn between the endpoint of one job and initiating point of another job which initiates the dependant task immediately after this task. There is a high probability that different activities may be executed at the same time or different activities may follow one another in a sequential manner which can be shown on the PERT chart by showing parallel networks. There are some nodes where the project needs to be reviewed these critical points are known as milestones. PERT chart through smart action and intelligence ensures that major activities terminate on a review node for better project quality. It is worth noticing that the reviews, recommendations, and approvals take at least one to two weeks time and the common mistake made by most of the project planners is that they underestimate this time by keeping the minimum time for review activities. An appropriate time, say 1 to 2 weeks or more should be kept as it's a time-consuming activity. The poorly managed project always underestimates the time required for documentation of the project works. It may appear unimportant initially but at later stages, one realizes its importance. Therefore the appropriate time for completing the documents of the project and compiling them should be kept in consideration.
PERT chart is drawn on special sized and special format paper in which the x-axis represents the duration. Though drawing a PERT chart for the complete project is possible but least recommended. Instead of drawing the PERT chart for the entire project, the project is broken down into small jobs and more influential parts. The main advantage of implementing this tactic is that it saves time because if there is an error due to an incorrectly estimated task, a need to draw the whole Chart again won't arise. In fact, only a specific job's chart will be redrawn.
Many construction companies follow the trend of ending the major tasks at the funding review node. This helps in determining which activity needs more funds, which activity can spare funds, which activity requires more human resources and from which activity human resources can be spared. Human resource certainly affects the pace of work. If such planning is not done then there is a chance that an activity may be having human resources more than required or an activity may be having human resources less than the required number. All such matters should be taken into account for a successful project plan and schedule.
PERT Planning Process
In the planning process, the points where data of activities need to be checked are identified, moreover, important activities which can turn out to be critical may be identified as well. The next step is to define a pattern in which activities should be executed for the timely completion of the project. After this step, the PERT chart is developed. Then a careful estimation of time for each activity is done. When the estimation is done then the path with max duration is identified and shown as a critical path. When the project is initiated then according to the progress in actual the PERT chart is constantly updated for better information control. (Donaldson and W. A, 1965)
The below figure shows the PERT chart to give a better understanding:
Advantages of PERT Chart
PERT chart clearly identifies and shows precedence relationships of elements of Work Breakdown Structure, WBS. PERT chart is an easy way of marking critical paths and critical activities merely by looking at the duration and sequence. It helps in defining the early start, late start and the duration of an activity can be delayed. Further PERT gives a better understanding of the precedence relationship which helps in overlapping or executing a job simultaneously which makes the reduction of project duration feasible. The resources from activities with idle time can be allocated to activities on the critical path to make sure the project is not delayed.
Disadvantages of PERT Chart
In real-time, there are hundreds of activities and individual precedence relationships. The network chart needs a special page setup and it is larger in size and may need several pages to print the network chart. Although different colors can help show the progress status but usually the time frame on most of the PERT charts is not mentioned which is a big disadvantage. The PERT charts are at times so much difficult to carry. Irrespective of how much care is taken while time estimations for the project activities are made, PERT will still assume beta distribution and this may result in a situation different than real. (Farnum, N. R. and Stanton, 1987). If any other activities in any path other than the critical path face delay in completion, it results in that path becoming critical. So due to this issue, more than one critical path may exist which will cause misunderstanding and ultimately wrong estimation of the time. (Schonberger, R. J, 1981)
Forward Pass
In forwarding pass, we determine early start (ES) and early finish (EF) times for each task. The calculations are made while working from left to right. Then the times in each path are added. It should be kept in mind that when a number of tasks end at a similar node then the ES for the next activity is the largest EF of the preceding activity.
Reverse Pass
In order to determine for how much duration an activity can be delayed in starting or finishing, we move in a reverse manner in contrast to forward pass. In this case, the end node becomes starting node. The bottom pair numbers are calculated in the backward pass. The durations are deduced from connecting nodes' earliest start times.
PERT is used for planning large-scale complex projects with numerous interdependent tasks, a project which requires various activities, some of which need to be performed at the same time and some of which are to be performed one after another in a specific sequence.
Assumptions in PERT
The time estimates for the completion of every task are of equal importance. PERT starts with three possible assumptions those are optimistic, most likely and pessimistic.(MacCrimmon, K. R. and Ryavec, 1964)
Optimistic time(a)
According to assumptions of optimistic time, things will go according to the schedule with minimum difficulty. However, this is not close to a realistic approach as this may occur once in hundred times.
Most pessimistic time(b)
Most pessimistic time assumes that not everything planned will go accordingly and will assume that maximum potential difficulties may occur.
Most likely or normal time(m)
This is an assumption according to which thing would mostly occur if reported time and again.
The estimated time of the activity to be completed is given by:
te= (a+4m+b)/6
Where:
te = estimated time
a = most optimistic time
m = normal time
b = most pessimistic time
Recent Studies and Research About PERT
Modern Studies reveal that when PERT is properly used then it effectively cut the project cost and reduces time. Along with this it also speeds up the planning process. It helps in eliminating the idle time that is slack time. Through such effective Project Management tools, one can give time to activities of priority in a much smart and effective manner. Project Managers can obtain extensive details by examining the network charts of the projects. Like a PERT chart will show how the activities are sequenced and which activity can occur simultaneously and which needs certain tasks to get completed before initiation of a particular task.
For difficult problems involving a number of activities, Computers are used to develop and examine the project schedule and network. Early start, Late Start, Early Finish Late Finish, is the value that is given to the computer as input. When the computer reads these values, its predefined perimeters and algorithm give information about the duration of the project, where and what resources are to be reduced or increased. Though computer algorithms are used however conclusion is that estimates should be good to get the best possible results. (Management Theory and Practice, 2005)
PERT is advantageous to Project Managers. For example, it helps them to sequence and sort the activities of the project and also give a diagrammatic view of how the activities of the project would take place and in what sequence. It also helps them to understand which activities are critical to the project completion duration and should be carefully observed, and which activities involve idle time and can be delayed without influencing the project completion duration. In a project with complex nature, there are various interdependencies involved and it makes it difficult to determine how things would occur in the future. The expertise of personnel in project management will definitely make things easy to understand and implement. (Keefer, D. L. and Verdini, 1993)
A recent report revealed the facts behind the failure of PERT in construction Management. The construction industry has inferred that PERT deviation from on-ground reality is due to its less closeness and information about processes involved in construction. This tool could not become famous in construction industries because the approach was nonrealistic and quite different from the way how things happen in reality. Due to the failure of techniques of Network many construction companies do not rely on PERT completely. These negative aspects make it difficult to project and promote PERT for schedule and network formation. If some contractors have to provide a PERT chart and schedule in the bid at the will of the client, they usually hire services of the third party and pay them to get things done in a suitable manner. So far, no matter how progress has been made in the construction industry still the use of project management software and employment of project managers is at a minimum because the construction industry so far could not adapt itself to this change. Very few realized the effectiveness of PERT. However, It is quite useful in projects where the requirement is neither a true model nor a process involved in construction. (Krajewski, L. J. and Ritzman, 2005),
In Construction each subcontractor is very keen on the smart use of his resources on all projects he is executing. A good project manager will efficiently manage resources according to the requirement and importance. Finishing earlier in some projects least matters whereas, in some projects finishing earlier can entitle you to a bonus. At the minimum, lowering cost is to be taken into account as much as an aim of reducing the entire duration.
Similar to the situation of medicine in which human bodies sometimes reject the transplanted organ from other humans who is not genetically connected to the patient, this should not be surprising that the construction industry has not accepted and incorporated the use of modern project managing tool into its functional stream completely because of the high possibility of errors that may occur. The concepts of PERT, despite rewarding and fruitful in other industries, are alien to the process involved in construction which developed its processes over years and got evolved to this state and satisfies the need of construction steps involved. Construction Industry believes in an approach that manually scheduling things is though time-consuming but still, the chances of error and underestimation leading to cost and time constrain and cost impact is minimized in comparison to those schedules devised by computers by using PERT as there is a bright chance of beta distribution and biased distribution of time and there is a chance that critical path selected by computer is not the really critical oneoutput | eng | 8a64e940-6fea-4beb-8f2d-5384d5a73f02 | https://assignster.com/construction-scheduling-and-planning/ |
Let's Play Git Tag! Why and How You Should be Tagging in Git
Article summary
Tagging in Git is not a new concept, and some readers might be thinking, "Why am I reading this article about Git tags?" But, for those who are curious or who have never used Git tags before, I will explain what tagging is and the best use of these tags.
Tagging in Git
Let's start by talking about what tagging in Git is and how to go about it. To put it simply, Git tagging is creating a named marker on a specific commit of a repository. This can be on any commit for any branch that is currently part of the repo. This tag will come with a message or title to help identify it in the sea of tags.
This name could be anything you want. If you really felt like it you could name a tag "tag-your-it" and the next one "No-tag-your-it" and the following one "it-is-you're-not-your." Those tag names will now be tied to the commits you're currently on when creating the tag. Also important to note is that tag names are unique, meaning no two tags will have the same name to avoid confusion.
So, that sounds great, but how do you actually tag a commit? The command is this:
Git tag <tag-name>
Simple right? Well, not exactly. Much like any other tool, there are some caveats. The first thing to understand is that Git tags are not branch-specific but repository-specific. That means if someone creates a tag, it will be available to everyone with access to the repository. You don't get up-to-date tags when you do a Git pull. To get the latest tags, you must perform a Git fetch command.
Git fetch
With that command, you will have all the up-to-date tags pulled down into your remote repository. From here we can check out a tag using the checkout command. For example, using the previous example tags we can run this:
Git checkout tags/tag-your-it
This will check out that tag locally.
Using Git Tags
The best use I have found for tags is to use them to help with the releases of your app. Say you have multiple environments that you deploy to and you only want certain versions of the codebase in one environment. You can use tags to keep track of what version of the code should go into that environment.
With a Git tag you will have a way to know exactly what code to deploy down to the commit. The proper order for this would be to tag the commit using the command listed above, and then you will need to push that tag up to the origin with the command.
Git push origin <tag-name>
You can either manually deploy or set up your CI/CD pipeline to deploy anytime a push has a tag with it. This way you can have better and more granular control over what code is deployed where.
Git tagging is a great way to keep track of the state of your code for releases. I hope this clears up what tagging in Git is and how to use it. | eng | 60b99f13-200d-46a9-98ea-484a4d6241c2 | https://spin.atomicobject.com/2023/02/22/tagging-in-git/ |
guide to writing characters with mental illness.
Do Your Research
Research is a crucial part of all of our writing. We want to bring a certain sense of authenticity to our writing. Researching mental illness is even more crucial because it involves accurately portraying a subset of people. When writing about mental illness, be sure you look at the comorbidity of different mental illnesses. Also, remember that no one person reacts the same to their mental illness, so the best practice would be to use resources like The Mighty to help see different perspectives.
Give Your Character a Life Outside of Mental Illness
Make sure your character isn't there simply as the token mentally ill person. Even if your book focuses on mental illness, your characters need a life. They need friends and family. They need hobbies and activities to do. The goal is always to make our characters authentic. Making a character one-dimensional where the only thing they add to the story is being someone with mental illness is a dangerous practice.
For example, in (Not) Alone-which is free to download here-Henry is an avid hunter and that is represented throughout the book. It brings a certain sense of reliability to the character. While the theme of the book was mental illness, that wasn't the only thing about Henry that readers knew.
Use It As a Source of Pride
While having a mental illness may not necessarily be something somebody is proud of, overcoming that mental illness to become successful is something to be proud of. In (Not) Alone, there was a major theme of pride throughout the book. Every time Henry overcame his latest struggle with mental illness, you could feel and see his sense of pride and self-confidence increased every chapter.
Show, Don't Tell
As writers, we hear this every time we send a manuscript to our editor. No matter how many times we hear it, we inevitably have places in our writing where someone can say "I wish they would have shown that instead of telling it." The same is true for mental illness. Don't tell the reader someone has anxiety, show them. Allow the reader to experience the fine details of the story through the character's actions, details that rely on the reader's senses, intentionally using words, or the expression of characters' emotions. Some examples:
Instead of "I was starting to have an anxiety attack," use something like "The closer I got, the more my heart beat against my chest. It felt like I was having a heart attack. The anxiety flooded my mind again, making me question everything."
Instead of "He was having an anxiety attack," use something like "He felt like his breath was escaping him and every time he tried to catch it, more got away from him. Henry couldn't talk anymore. He was afraid that his next breath would be his last. He just focused on moving his legs. The ground felt like it was slowly giving way beneath him. His chest was slowly tightening its grip, causing an unbearable pain. His stomach was in a thousand knots as he struggled to breathe."
Instead of "He was experiencing bipolar rage," use something like "He couldn't make out the sound of his engine roaring through the sound of his heart pounding within his chest. All he knew was that he wanted to get away from his current surroundings. He wanted the Earth to stop spinning. He slammed his car into reverse as he backed out of his grandparent's driveway."
Hire a Sensitivity Reader
I got lucky with my latest book and my editor also served as a sensitivity reader. You can find tons of resources for quality sensitivity readers online, or reach out to your fellow writers or social media followers to get recommendations. Sensitivity readers give you a better understanding of how readers will react to your writing. It gives you the opportunity to fix the mistakes that may not be quite correct or maybe unintentionally offensive before it goes out to the masses | eng | c747945d-5aa0-4d02-a385-4fdd2c10667a | https://tylerwittkofsky.com/2021/10/04/writing-mental-illness/ |
Maximizing Learning With Virtual Reality Classrooms
The world has been altered drastically in the past two decades due to advancements in technology, and education has been no exception. Once exclusive to physical classrooms, education has been virtualized, making it possible for students around the world to connect online and engage in learning. As technology continues to evolve, Virtual Reality (VR) classrooms are becoming more widely used as an alternative to traditional education. VR classrooms allow learners to explore a virtual environment to gain new knowledge while providing an immersive and engaging experience.
This blog post will discuss the advantages of Virtual Reality classrooms, strategies for maximizing learning in VR, and future perspectives of the technology and its applications in education.
What are VR Classrooms?
Virtual Reality is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment that can be accessed using devices such as headsets, gloves, and other forms of physical and tactile feedback. VR classrooms provide an alternative to traditional education, allowing students to participate in a range of learning activities in an immersive digital environment. VR classrooms can be used for a variety of activities, such as exploring a space station, leading a group debate, or practicing a virtual lab experiment.
Benefits of Virtual Reality Classrooms
VR provides an opportunity to create a learning environment that is safe and engaging, allowing students to explore and gain new knowledge without the fear of failure. By connecting learners from different backgrounds, it allows students to work together in a collaborative and inclusive environment. Furthermore, the use of VR can help to create a more immersive learning experience for students as it enables them to engage with the content in a more vivid and realistic way. It also provides students with the opportunity to interact with an environment without the need to travel.
Strategies for Maximizing Learning with VR Classrooms
In order to maximize learning in a VR classroom, educators must be aware of the best practices for using the technology. To ensure that learners get the most out of their experience, educators must focus on creating an environment that is both engaging and appropriate for the activity. This includes selecting content that is appropriate for the age group, as well as designing activities that are relevant and interactive.
In addition, educators should be aware of the limitations of VR, such as the potential for motion sickness, and make adjustments as necessary to ensure the safety and comfort of their students. Additionally, educators should think about the visual and auditory components of VR and make sure that the settings are adjusted to suit the learners' preferences. Finally, educators should use analytics to track student progress and adjust the content accordingly.
Case Study: Yoga Education in VR Classrooms
Yoga teachers have embraced the use of VR classrooms to offer their classes in an immersive, interactive environment. To maximize the learning experience, teachers use VR to create an environment that is tailored to the needs of their students. They make use of visuals to create a calming and peaceful atmosphere, as well as provide audio guidance for students to follow along.
Teachers also take advantage of the analytics provided by the VR platform to track students' progress over time and make adjustments as necessary. They also use the technology to allow students to interact with each other in real-time, helping to create a sense of community.
Future Perspectives of VR in Education
The use of VR in education is still in its infancy, and there is still much to be explored in terms of creating a more immersive learning experience. As technology advances and the capabilities of VR expand, educators will be able to create an environment that is tailored to their learners' needs. Additionally, the availability of inexpensive, wearable devices and the advancement of virtual and augmented reality technologies will enable teachers to create a more realistic learning experience.
Conclusion
Virtual Reality classrooms provide an innovative and engaging way for educators to deliver lessons in a safe, immersive environment. Through the use of VR, teachers can create an engaging learning experience that allows students to explore and gain new knowledge without the fear of failure. Additionally, VR classrooms allow students to interact with their peers in real-time and learn from their experiences.
By implementing strategies such as selecting appropriate content and adjusting the environment to suit the learners' preferences, educators can maximize learning in a VR classroom. As technology advances, the possibilities for creating a more personalized and engaging learning experience are limitless. | eng | a12d1f0b-0eff-4348-baf2-606026ac9be5 | https://getcourse.com.au/blog/maximizing-learning-with-virtual-reality-classrooms |
Fencing: Understanding the Basics of Fence Installation
Fencing is an essential part of any property, providing privacy, security, and aesthetic value. If you're considering installing a fence, it's essential to understand the basics of fence installation. In this article, we'll discuss the fundamental principles of fencing, including materials, styles, installation, and maintenance.
Choosing the Right Material
The first step in fence installation is choosing the right material for your needs and preferences. There are several options to choose from, including wood, vinyl, aluminum, and chain-link. Each material has its unique features, such as durability, maintenance requirements, and cost. Wood is a popular choice for its natural beauty and affordability, while vinyl is low maintenance and long-lasting. Aluminum is lightweight and durable, while chain-link is affordable and versatile.
2. Picking the Right Style
Once you've chosen the material, the next step is to pick the right style for your fence. Fences come in various styles, including picket, privacy, split-rail, and more. Picket fences are classic and traditional, while privacy fences provide maximum privacy and security. Split-rail fences are rustic and charming, while ornamental fences are decorative and elegant.
3. Measuring Your Property
Before installing a fence, it's crucial to measure your property accurately. This will help you determine the length of the fence and the number of materials you'll need. You'll also need to consider any obstacles, such as trees, rocks, or slopes, that may affect the installation process.
4. Obtaining Permits
In some areas, you may need to obtain a permit before installing a fence. This is especially true if you're installing a fence on a public property or near a street or sidewalk. Check with your local zoning department to see if a permit is required and what regulations you need to follow.
5. Setting Your Posts
The first step in fence installation is setting your posts. This involves digging holes in the ground and placing the posts securely into the soil. The posts should be set at equal intervals, usually between 6 and 8 feet apart, depending on the style of your fence. Use a level to ensure that the posts are straight and upright.
6. Attaching Your Rails and Pickets
Once the posts are in place, it's time to attach your rails and pickets. Rails are the horizontal boards that connect the posts, while pickets are the vertical boards that create the fence's design. Use screws or nails to attach the rails and pickets securely to the posts, making sure that they're level and evenly spaced.
7. Adding Gates
If you're installing a fence with a gate, it's essential to plan for this during the installation process. Gates should be installed in the same manner as the rest of the fence, using sturdy posts and secure attachments. It's also important to consider the size and style of the gate, as well as any hardware, such as hinges and latches.
8. Maintaining Your Fence
Proper maintenance is essential for the longevity and appearance of your fence. Depending on the material and style of your fence, maintenance may involve cleaning, painting, staining, or sealing. Regular maintenance can help prevent damage from weather, pests, and wear and tear.
9. Hiring a Professional
While installing a fence may seem like a straightforward process, it's essential to hire a professional if you're not experienced with fencing. A professional installer can help you choose the right materials and style for your needs, as well as ensure that the fence is installed safely and securely. They can also provide guidance on maintenance and repairs to help your fence last for years to come. | eng | 0d219de9-71e4-4d44-816d-c9a79f434407 | https://psionplace.com/fencing-understanding-the-basics-of-fence-installation/ |

From: Daniel D Suthers <suthers+@pitt.edu>
CLIM 1.1 (on Dec/Lucid, though that shouldn't matter):
We don't understand how inferior-output-record-changed is supposed to work.
My counsel is to avoid trying to use this. I think you will not
succeed -- and it's different in CLIM 2.0 as well.
Specifically, why do you have to provide old-position and old-extent?
These are already stored in the output record. The fact that they have
to be provided as arguments suggests to us that we should have done
something to modify the output record, thereby invalidating this
information before inferior-output-record-changed gets called.
Could someone provide a template for the usual code pattern in which
this is used?
thanks,

North London Has a Damp Problem
Residents of London suffer from damp and draughts in their homes. A YouGov and Shelter poll from 2016 found that 39 per cent of renters in London had to contend with damp or mould.
Relatedly, a quarter of London homes have consistently been given poor energy ratings since 2009.
Cold, damp, and mould in such high quantities can lead to persistent health problems. On a large scale, they also point to lower levels of energy efficiency.
The UK has old housing, with about 21 per cent of homes being built before 1919 and 16 per cent between 1919 and 1945.
Schemes have been undertaken by the government at national and local levels to update the insulation in housing, so homes aren't so cold and damp.
These measures have only worked to an extent, though, as many North Londoners still experience problems with damp. As a result, damp proofing companies have proliferated.
The Causes of Damp in North London Homes
If damp is such a problem in North London, what are the causes behind it? According to the Property Care Association, failed or compromised insulation is a possible cause.
This includes poor pointing and cracked render in filled cavity wall buildings.
Indeed, improper materials, inferior ventilation, and sub-par maintenance account for the top three causes of damp in North London.
Improper Materials
Incorrect building materials for adequate damp and waterproofing are most commonly found in old houses.
Homes predating the mid-20th century don't contain modern building materials. Builders didn't account for damp proofing when constructing these homes.
Updating these homes can be done but it's usually a complicated process inserting modern insulation or waterproof substances into old homes.
Inferior Ventilation
Moisture will build up in homes that don't vent properly. It's wise to keep air circulating through your home by opening the windows and ensuring you have an extractor fan in high-moisture rooms like the kitchen and bathroom.
Sub-par Maintenance
With damp being such a common problem in North London, keeping it away requires regular inspection and maintenance. | eng | 17e88371-ef5b-4309-af7b-62d769834f18 | https://www.dreamlandsdesign.com/why-damp-proofing-basement-waterproofing-big-businesses/ |
QgsOgrProvider::reloadData calls close() and open(), which in turn called setSubsetString with mSubsetString.
Since setSubsetString does nothing if the passed sql string is equal to mSubsetString, this resulted in the

How does council tax work in Scotland?
Council tax was first introduced in 1993 and is a type of property taxation that is calculated on your home's assigned valuation band.
This band is based on the value of your home on April 1, 1991, with these bands running from A (the lowest) to H (the highest), says Citizens Advice.
How do I check my council tax band in Scotland?

Hi All, How do we change the baud rate of FT260? I compiled and ran the sample example that is provided in LibrbaryFT260. From there I came to know that by default FT260 is running at 115200 baud rate. I want to change this to 9600. How can I do that?
Yes, I saw that. But what is the input it is expecting. For example when I run uart.exe(From librbaryFt260) in my command prompt. How to set the baud rate in that command prompt? The datasheet gives us a register but to to set that register?
I changed the baud rate of FT260 to 9600 and my MCU baud rate is also 9600. Now when I execute sample uart.cpp project, I am only receiving the first character i.e 'a' from that sample and not the whole string. Can you tell me why? In my MCU program , I am trying to capture whole string. . | eng | e7a62fb3-6ae7-46ef-a0b7-c908af67500a | https://www.ftdicommunity.com/index.php?topic=838.msg2414 |
Easy Does It: High-mileage or High-intensity?
There have always been competing training philosophies in the sport of distance running. At the most general level of classification, there are two training schools: the high-mileage school and the high-intensity school. Representatives of the high-mileage school believe runners should do most of their training at an easy pace--but lots of it. Representatives of the high-intensity school believe that it's better to run less but run hard.
While most competitive runners continue to favor the high-mileage approach, exercise scientists have lately found more merit in the high-intensity school. This belief is based on short-term studies in which the addition of high-intensity workouts to the training schedule of volunteers seems to improve their performance. I believe these studies need to be taken with a grain of salt, however, because they do not closely represent the real-world training environment of competitive runners.
It's very difficult to conduct truly valid scientific studies on the general effectiveness of specific training practices. The reason is that it's hard to adequately control the training of large groups of runners over extended periods of time. Some of the best studies on the effects of specific training practices in runners have been conducted by a team of researchers at the University of Madrid, Spain. And it so happens that a recent study by this team provides support for the philosophy that distance runners should do most of their training at an easy pace.
The team divided 10 high-level male runners into two groups. At the beginning of the study period, all 10 runners completed a 10.4-km time trial and their times were recorded. Over the next five months, the runners in the two groups trained identically except for one key difference. The members of one group did two threshold runs per week, while the members of the other group did just one. Their total training mileage, speed training schedules and strength training regimens were the same. The only difference was that the members of one group did more threshold running and less easy running than the members of the second group.
At the end of the study period, all 10 runners repeated the 10.4-km time trial. The members of the "threshold" group improved their time by 2:01, on average, while those in the "easy" group improved by 2:37. Statistical analyses revealed that such a large discrepancy was extremely unlikely to occur by chance. Therefore the researchers concluded that a training program in which 81 percent of running is easy, 10.5 percent is done at threshold pace, and 8.5 percent is done at speeds exceeding race pace is more effective than an equal-mileage program in which only 67 percent of running is easy, 24.5 percent is at threshold pace, and 8.5 is fast.
These results are very troubling for those who deem threshold training to be the holy grail of training for distance running. But it's important not to draw too extreme a conclusion from this study. The runners in the "easy" group trained pretty hard, and those in the "threshold" group arguably trained foolishly hard, even by the standards of most representatives of the high-intensity school. Take a closer look at those numbers in the "threshold" training regimen: 24.5 percent of their weekly miles were run at threshold pace (plus another 8.5 at speed pace). I've never known of any runner who did such a high percentage of his or her training at such a high intensity level. Here's an example of a week of training that fits this breakdown: | eng | 252819d8-4f50-48e0-8b7c-36b8f36e0be4 | https://www.active.com/running/articles/easy-does-it-high-mileage-or-high-intensity?page=1 |

VIII. Conclusion
Practicing gratitude at work is more than just a feel-good exercise – it's a powerful tool for creating a positive and productive environment. By expressing appreciation and recognizing the efforts of our colleagues, we foster stronger relationships, boost morale, and increase overall job satisfaction.
When we cultivate gratitude at work, we not only enhance our own well-being but also inspire those around us to do their best. It creates a ripple effect that spreads throughout the entire team or organization, leading to improved teamwork, increased motivation, and higher levels of productivity.
Starting a team gratitude practice doesn't have to be complicated. Simple gestures like saying thank you, writing thank-you notes or emails, or publicly acknowledging someone's accomplishments can go a long way in fostering an atmosphere of gratitude. Encouraging regular expressions of appreciation can become part of the team culture.
In addition to these individual acts of gratitude, there are also various ways to incorporate collective practices into the workplace. Setting up gratitude circles or holding regular team meetings where individuals share what they're grateful for can deepen connections among teammates and generate positivity within the group.
Remember that showing gratitude should not be limited to specific occasions like Thanksgiving or Employee Appreciation Day; it should be an ongoing practice woven into the fabric of everyday interactions at work.
By incorporating intentional acts of appreciation into our daily routine at work, we create an environment where people feel valued and appreciated. This leads to greater job satisfaction and engagement which ultimately contributes to higher levels of success for both individuals and organizations as a whole.
So let's embrace the power of gratitude in our workplaces!

What Age Do Leos Fall In Love? The Cosmic Journey of Leo's Heart
Hey there, fellow astrology enthusiasts! Are you ready to dive into the fiery and passionate world of Leo and their love life? Well, grab your cosmic snacks and cozy up because we're about to explore the burning question: What age do Leos fall in love?
Now, Leos, with their majestic manes and roaring personalities, are ruled by the Sun. They shine as bright as the celestial body that governs them and are known for their confidence, charisma, and love for the spotlight. But when does this dazzling sign find that special someone to share their limelight with?
Let's begin our cosmic journey, shall we?
The Early Stages: Childhood and Teen Years
You know, even little Leo cubs have a flair for romance. Picture this: a Leo toddler dressed as a tiny prince or princess, already commanding attention from everyone in the room. They might not know the ins and outs of love just yet, but they sure know how to turn heads!
As they grow into their teenage years, Leos often find themselves drawn to crushes and puppy love. Their outgoing nature makes them popular among peers, and they may enjoy a few innocent flirtations during this time. But deep, meaningful love? Not quite yet; they're still figuring themselves out.
The Roaring Twenties: The Adventure Begins
Ah, the twenties! This is when Leo's love life starts to get interesting. By now, they've learned a lot about themselves and have grown more confident in their skin. Leo's magnetic personality shines even brighter, attracting admirers from all corners of the zodiac.
During this period, Leos may experience their first real, passionate love affair. It's like they've finally found the leading role in their own romantic drama. They're eager to shower their partner with affection, grand gestures, and, of course, plenty of compliments. But remember, Leos can be a bit dramatic at times, so brace yourself for a whirlwind romance!
The Thriving Thirties: Finding Balance
As Leos enter their thirties, they begin to strike a balance between their personal ambitions and their desire for a deep, lasting love. They've learned that love isn't just about admiration and adoration; it's also about partnership and compromise.
This is when Leos may find a more stable and committed relationship. They seek a partner who understands their need for the limelight but can also hold their own ground. It's no longer just about being the center of attention; it's about sharing that spotlight with someone special.
The Fabulous Forties and Beyond: A Mature Love
By the time Leos reach their forties and beyond, they've truly matured in matters of the heart. They've honed their communication skills, learned the art of compromise, and realized that love isn't just about grand gestures but about the everyday moments that build a deep connection.
Leos at this age may be in a long-term relationship or even married, basking in the warmth of a love that has weathered the storms of life. They continue to exude confidence and charm, but now it's accompanied by wisdom and a profound sense of self.
But Wait, There's No One-Size-Fits-All Answer
Now, let's not forget that astrology is a fun and insightful tool, but it's not an exact science. Just because you're a Leo doesn't mean you'll follow this timeline to a tee. Love is a wild and unpredictable ride, and it can happen at any age.
So, when do Leos fall in love? It's not about a specific age, but rather about their personal journey, experiences, and the cosmic alignment of stars. Some Leos might find love early on, while others might take a bit longer. The key is to embrace their Leo charm, stay open to the possibilities, and let love find its way to them.
In the end, what truly matters is that when Leos do fall in love, it's a passionate, heartfelt, and unforgettable experience. So, whether you're a Leo or just someone fascinated by astrology, remember that love has its own timetable, and the journey is just as important as the destination.
So, let's raise a cosmic toast to all the Leos out there, may your love story be as magnificent as the constellations in the night sky! 🦁❤️🌟 | eng | 80b54e39-2c93-45bb-838a-09fc83c5f2fb | https://zodiacsignsexplained.com/what-age-do-leos-fall-in-love-the-cosmic-journey-of-leos-heart/ |
Speakers share experiences in TEDxYouth Wayland
Pictured above is the TEDxYouth sign. TEDxYouth events are TED talks organized independently of the TED organization and the talks are given by youth, in Wayland case, middle schoolers and high schoolers. "I want them to at least think about what I'm saying," junior speaker Lila Masand said. "I know that I won't reach everyone in the audience but I hope at least a few take what I have to say to heart."
Wayland High School hosted a TEDxYouth event this past weekend, on Saturday, May 9. Thirteen TED talks and three performances took place under the theme of "daring greatly."
The event was well-attended, with the front section of the theater filled out, and the audience positively received the speakers.
"It was really cool how Jameson [Hunt] could make up music on the fly," sophomore Graham Macklin said. "He showed me that you don't always have to prepare for things and can just go with your gut."
Before presenting, the speakers were nervous but excited about spreading their messages.
"I want them to at least think about what I'm saying," junior Lila Masand said. "I know that I won't reach everyone in the audience, but I hope at least a few take what I have to say to heart."
The speakers thought their talks responded well with the audience, and the messages of their talks were well-received and thought about.
"I think my talk went well because I felt very engaged with the audience," speaker Rachel Hawley said. "There were a lot of students in the audience, and a lot of them told me afterward that my experience was consistent with their experience, and it made them think about stuff, which is all you want."

Transform risk management with advanced software solutions
In today's ever-changing business landscape, risk management has become integral to organizational success. According to CSOonline.com, ERM professionals highlighted that information security risks (32%) were identified as the top risks likely to have the most impact on businesses, followed closely by risks related to data confidentiality (28%).
Traditional approaches to risk management were often reactive, focusing on identifying and mitigating risks after they had already occurred. However, the advent of advanced software solutions has revolutionized the way organizations approach risk management, making it possible to move from reactive to proactive strategies.

In this article, we'll explore how advanced software solutions are transforming risk management and enabling organizations to stay ahead of potential risks.
The limits of reactive risk management
Under the traditional reactive risk management approach, organizations focused primarily on identifying risks once they materialized. This approach had several limitations:
1. Late response
As described in a Security Boulevard article, reactive risk management is characterized by the absence of a pre-established plan to deal with threats. In this approach, organizations simply react to risks as they arise, putting them at a constant disadvantage.
Unfortunately, by the time the risks are identified, they have usually already caused significant damage. This late response not only results in higher costs, but also leads to reputational damage and missed opportunities.
2. Ineffective risk assessment
Reactive risk management relied heavily on manual processes and subjective judgment, making it difficult to accurately and objectively assess risk. This has limited the effectiveness of risk mitigation strategies.
3. Lack of foresight
Reactive risk management has failed to anticipate emerging risks and trends, leaving organizations vulnerable to unexpected threats. It lacked the ability to proactively identify and address potential risks before they became critical issues.
Here are some key features and benefits of advanced software solutions:
1. Real-time risk monitoring
Advanced software solutions continuously monitor various data sources, including internal systems, external databases and social media platforms, for early warning signs of potential risks. This real-time monitoring enables organizations to react quickly and take proactive steps to mitigate risks before they escalate.
3. Automation and efficiency
Advanced software solutions automate manual processes involved in risk management, such as data collection, analysis and reporting. This automation not only saves time, but also improves accuracy and efficiency, allowing risk managers to focus on strategic decision-making rather than administrative tasks.
4. Integrated risk management
Advanced software solutions provide a holistic view of an organization's risk landscape by integrating various risk areas, such as operational, financial, compliance and reputational risks. This integration allows risk managers to identify interdependencies and make informed decisions that consider the broader risk context.
To dig deeper, we encourage readers to learn more about these advanced risk management software solutions by researching online and exploring relevant sources.
Strengthen proactive risk management
Adopting advanced software solutions enables organizations to proactively manage risk and achieve better business results. According to an article on ComplyAdvantage, in 2023, proactive risk management is about to become more crucial than ever, especially given the growing prevalence of financial crime.
Here are a few ways these solutions facilitate proactive risk management:
1. Early identification of risks
With real-time monitoring and predictive analytics, advanced software solutions can identify risks at an early stage, enabling organizations to take timely action. This early identification helps prevent or mitigate potential risks before they escalate into major problems.
2. Data-driven decision making
Advanced software solutions leverage data analytics to provide risk managers with actionable insights. By basing decisions on data rather than intuition, organizations can make more informed and effective risk management decisions.
3. Scenario modeling and simulations
Advanced software solutions allow risk managers to simulate various scenarios and assess their potential impact on the organization. This capability allows organizations to evaluate different risk mitigation strategies and make proactive decisions to minimize potential losses.
Overcoming Challenges and Ensuring Success
1. Data quality and integration
To obtain accurate information, organizations must ensure the quality and integrity of data used by software solutions. This may require cleaning data, integrating from disparate sources, and establishing data governance practices.
2. Change management and culture change
Implementing advanced software solutions for risk management requires a cultural change within the organization. Educating and training employees on the benefits of proactive risk management and creating a culture that values data-driven decision-making is crucial.
3. Cooperation and communication
Risk management is a multidisciplinary function that requires collaboration between different departments and stakeholders. Organizations must foster effective communication channels and encourage cross-functional collaboration to maximize the benefits of advanced software solutions.
4. Ongoing Monitoring and Adaptation
Advanced software solutions should be continuously monitored and updated to keep up with changing risks and technologies. Organizations should establish processes for regular system evaluation, maintenance, and adaptation to ensure solutions remain effective over time.
By leveraging these features, organizations can identify risks at an early stage, make data-driven decisions, simulate scenarios, and continuously improve their risk management practices. This transformation enables organizations to stay ahead of potential risks, prevent major issues, and achieve better business results.
However, successful implementation requires addressing challenges such as data quality, change management, collaboration, and ongoing monitoring. Embracing proactive risk management through advanced software solutions is essential for organizations to navigate an ever-changing business landscape and ensure their long-term success. | eng | 4400c05e-be05-4dfd-bf1d-35c3f48ddd98 | https://theinsightsglobal.com/2023/05/18/transform-risk-management-with-advanced-software-solutions/ |
Comparing Ronaldo and Messi using international career is like comparing Haaland in Norway and Mbappe in France
Imagine using a World Cup as criteria to decide who the GOAT is when some teams are historically favourites while others are outsiders.
Messi comes from a country which has a World Cup legacy while Portugal's football legacy was created by Cristiano Ronaldo.
Comparing Ronaldo and Messi using international career is like comparing Haaland at Norway and Mbappe at France. Its not a fair ground. With the facilities available to him, Cristiano has maximised Portugal's opportunities.
But I don't care how many Persians disagree with me but I'm very proud that Cristiano won 2 major trophies for Portugal .He carried a dead Portugal team for almost 2 decades which is the greatest achievement ever.He put Portugal on the map and compete with big boys.
14 years have gone by, and Cristiano Ronaldo is still the last Premier League player to win the prestigious Ballon d'Or.

How Entity Framework Core's query cache works
27 Oct 2020 3 mins Entity Framework Core
Last week, when speaking at .NET Developer Days, I got a question about the query cache in Entity Framework Core – is it shared across DbContexts or is it per instance? With this question I realized I know how the cache work(ed) in Entity Framework 6, but I'm not entirely sure how it's done in Entity Framework Core. Time to explore! And you can go with me.
Let's do some basic thinking first. Does it make sense to have query cache across instances? For the same DbContext type and hence same model (IModel) for sure. Could it be useful for different DbContexts? Maybe. Probably not. Although you can have, i.e. when using bounded contexts, DbContexts with overlap, the query would have to use only the overlapping part of the model and the cache would have to be able to work on fine granularity.
I'll try to figure out the result only searching file names, types, content and reading pieces of code. Here we go.
The query cache should be in some file containing query and cache in its name, right? Luckily there's a CompiledQueryCache.cs. Nice, there's a IMemoryCache being used and the description states it is a singleton. And the GetOrAddQuery method already has the key as an input argument. This comes from QueryCompiler class and ICompiledQueryCacheKeyGenerator.GenerateCacheKey is used. The CompiledQueryCacheKeyGenerator is the implementation of that interface and it just returns instance of CompiledQueryCacheKey, which is defined as protected readonly struct CompiledQueryCacheKey : IEquatable<CompiledQueryCacheKey>. Cool. The equality is implemented as follows.
OK, so it's checking the selected tracking behavior, whether it's async and finally the model plus query. The ExpressionEqualityComparer and specifically the ExpressionComparer seems to be checking whether the "structure" of the query is the same. Makes sense, the canonical version of the query is very likely done in another place. That leaves us only with ReferenceEquals(_model, other._model).
Clearly this is comparing references, hence the question is whether the model (IModel) is somewhat cached between instances too. Again, probably the file is gonna have model and cache in its name. And there seems to be IModelCacheKeyFactory where the implementation ModelCacheKeyFactory is using just ModelCacheKey. And this class has a nice comment.
/// A key that uniquely identifies the model for a given context. This is used to store and lookup
/// a cached model for a given context. This default implementation uses the context type as they key, thus
/// assuming that all contexts of a given type have the same model.
So, the Type of DbContext is used for equality comparisons.
And here you have it. When everything is put together, we can infer the query cache is using IMemoryCache as an implementation, it's a singleton (aka shared across everything in Entity Framework Core) and caching key ultimately depends on the model, which is the same across same DbContexts | eng | 7a35756a-fc0e-467f-ae70-1a410c550263 | https://www.tabsoverspaces.com/233841-how-entity-framework-core-query-cache-works |
Structures in Turkey's Panaztepe pointing out a 5,000-year-old settlement found
Structures in Turkey's Panaztepe pointing out a 5,000-year-old settlement found
In the 5000-year-old Panaztepe settlement located in the Menemen district of Izmir, structures thought to belong to the oldest period of the city were found. It is estimated that Panaztepe was used as a settlement area from 3000 BC to the Byzantine period.
Although it is located 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) inland today, it is believed to have been an island settlement and port city during the Bronze Age.
New discoveries have increased the historical importance of this ancient site.
According to Dr. Ümit Çayır of Sivas Cumhuriyet University's Archaeology Department, who is also the head of the archaeological excavations in Panaztepe, the site was a significant centre, especially during the year 2000 B.C., with connections stretching to the Eastern Mediterranean, western Aegean, and even the Caucasus region, and was located at the intersection of the Mycenaean civilization in the west and Hittite civilization in the east.
Noting that his team was examining the era's cultural structure via the dig, Çayır stated that they had discovered strata of habitation going back to the Early Bronze Age and classical times.
Although Panaztepe is 10 km inland today, it is thought to be the most important port city of the period.
Although the scientific community has studied the remains of Panaztepe's early Bronze Age, according to Çayır, the architectural evidence that Panaztepe was a settlement before that period is a new discovery.
According to Dr. ümit Çayır, the architectural evidence indicating that Panaztepe was a settlement before that time period is a new discovery.
"We can say that we found the earliest-known settlement of Panaztepe. In other words, this is a settlement area dating back approximately 5,000 years.
We plan to continue our work in the newly excavated area, in the acropolis and its foothills in Panaztepe," he said.
He said the unearthing of architectural remains dating to the Early Bronze Age could also add a new dimension to the cultural history of the region.
He also said the remains of walls of the period's houses and stone fishing net weights discovered along with the ceramic finds show that it was once a port city. "Preliminary reports of geographical studies conducted in the region and Panaztepe also support this," he added.
Çayır added that they hope to encounter important results for understanding the size and quality of the settlements belonging to these periods in the coming years. | eng | 8d89e9d1-cf77-4cca-b5cb-c8b43fa30b2b | https://archaeologynewsnetwork.com/2022/04/28/structures-in-turkeys-panaztepe-pointing-out-a-5000-year-old-settlement-found/ |

In general, classification tasks are discussed without acknowledging the very real problem of data imbalance in real-world training data. Some classes will have a significantly lower number of samples compared to other classes. The term 'minority class' is used to describe these problematic classes. There are multiple strategies used to ameliorate this issue. Cost-sensitive learning is one such approach where the loss function is modified. The (admittedly basic) concept in cost-sensitive learning is to give a higher weight to samples from minority classes compared to others.
Your task in this question is to devise a weighting scheme for epoch (i+1) based on the following:
? A non-weighted loss function L
? A confusion matrix Ci, obtained from a model under training after epoch i. Ci(a,b) is the number of times a sample with ground truth class a was predicted (by the model) to be b.
The intent of this question is to find an answer where the weighting scheme will take into account the frequency at which a ground truth class a is being misclassified as some other class d.

Rep. Seth Moulton (Mass.), a 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, said Sunday that the Trump administration doesn't have a strategy to deal with China.
"We absolutely need to get tough with China, and it's not just on trade. It's the rising threat that China is to our national security, I mean they are stealing American ideas and American military secrets through the internet every single day," Moulton said on "Fox News Sunday."
{mosads}"But we need a strategy, and I listened to Mr. Kudlow's interview, I don't think this administration has a strategy, they don't have any sense of urgency, and they clearly don't know what this means to American families.
"Wielding tariffs like a cudgel because it makes the president look tough? That only hurts American families," Moulton added.
White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow appeared on the program directly before Moulton to explain the administration's next moves with China.
The U.S. and China appeared close to a deal on their year-long trade war last week, until President Trump ordered a steep increase in tariffs on Chinese goods after top Beijing officials reportedly backtracked on previous agreements with the White House.
Fox host Chris Wallace pressed Moulton on how he would differentiate his approach to China from Trump's if elected president.
"You have to have a comprehensive strategy, and I'm not saying tariffs shouldn't be an option on the table, and that means that we actually build our alliances in the Pacific," Moulton explained. "I am calling for using the NATO model in the Pacific to help contain China and North Korea.
"It means using institutions like the World Trade Organization, now that's not perfect, it's not going to solve every problem, but every case that the Obama administration has brought before the WTO, every one that's been decided has been in our favor."
Moulton, one of the over 20 Democrats in the 2020 race, has been touting his focus on foreign policy to try to carve a niche for himself in the crowded field. | eng | 23662a3a-be58-4b09-a3d4-ab73ff6a33e4 | https://thehill.com/homenews/sunday-talk-shows/443287-moulton-trump-administration-doesnt-have-a-china-strategy/ |
What can you put inside candles?
It is easy to find almond, orange, and lemon extract in grocery stores. The scent should not be added to the hot wax for too long. As the wax is poured from the boiler to the candle mold you can add your scent.
Are essential oils toxic in candles?
With the above being said, essential oils can evaporate and evaporate faster than fragrance oils and can hold their scent for less than a year in a candle. It is generally safe to use essential oils in candles.
Are fragrance oils flammable?
Even though they have a higher flash point than essential oils, they are still considered to be flammable liquids and can catch fire easily.
Can you put glitter in candles?
Don't use glitter to make candles. A bundle of glitter gathers at the bottom of hot wax. If you want to add glitter to your melted wax, you shouldn't do it.
Can I use vanilla extract in candle making?
If you want to add fragrance when wax is melted, bring the candy thermometer to the manufacturer's recommended temperature and place it in the wax. For every 2 cups of melted wax, stir in 1 cup of ground cinnamon, 1 cup of ground cloves and 1 cup ofVanilla extract.
What brand of candles burn the most fragrance?
The scores were affected by my scent preferences. I don't think the strongest candle was my favorite scent. When I smelled WoodWick by Yankee Candle Co. and Bath & Body Works, I knew that they smelled the best.
How can I add scent to candles without essential oils?
Spices and herbs can be found in the kitchen. The sweet and spicyNutmeg and cinnamon are used in Christmas candles. The smell of nature can be brought to your home with dried herbs. It's a good idea to raid your garden.
Can you put real fruit in candles?
For a rustic addition to a dinner or wedding table centerpiece, you could make the candles to order in canning jars with your own fruit. Fruit gel candles are easy to make and can be used to make thoughtful gifts.
Can you put flower petals in candles?
Place your flower petals on the sides of your candle jar once your wax has been scented. Press the petals onto the glass for a few seconds and you will be good to go.
Are fragrance oils safe to inhale?
Even though it is safe, breathing in essential oils can be good for your health. Inhaling essential oils can have a positive effect on your mental and physical well being.
Are essential oils safe in wax melts?
It is important to follow some safety precautions if you want to put essential oil in a burner. If you're like me, you can't live without essential oils because they're a part of your daily well-being routine.
What candles have the strongest scent?
Innovative Fragrance Technology is used to create strong scented candles. Pure Integrity has a soy candle that is authentic Cranberry Spice.
What happens if you put salt in a candle?
If you put the candle in the freezer, it slows down the rate at which the wax will melt, giving you a longer burn. It's helpful to keep the candle's length trimmed to a quarter inch in order to make it burn quicker.
How much oil do you put in candle wax?
We recommend using 10% fragrance oil for optimal scent throw if you want to keep the candle stable. If your candle is 100g in total, 90g should be wax and 10g will be your perfume.
What happens if you add too much fragrance to soy wax?
The excess oil that was not able to bind with the wax can be burned off if your fragrance load is too high.
How many candles will 10 pounds of wax?
There is more that you can see. If this is something that you enjoy doing, then you should do it. A pound of wax is enough to make two 14 ounce candles. 10 lbs should be a lot more than that.
Why does my candle have no hot throw?
A hotter burning wicks are required for soy wax to work. The chemical bonds are the reason for it. These bonds take a lot of heat. Regardless of the type of wax you are using, make sure that your size is large enough to provide plenty of hot scent throw, but not too large to create a fire hazard.
Is soy wax good for candles?
Soy wax is a 100% all-natural wax that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be used to make container candles, such as jarred candles, tins, votives, tealights, and tarts.
Is fragrance oil for candles flammable?
It is important to keep fragrances away from fire and other heat sources. Don't smoke near the oils.
Are essential oils flammable in candles?
Is essential oils bad for candles? It's a good idea to use essential oils alone. Adding essential oils to a burning candle is not a good idea. The essential oils are mixed into the waxes and other oils to make candlesCan you put gold flakes in candles?
It's one of the best decorating trends right now with gold foil. It is possible to add gold leaf to almost any part of your home. These gilded candles are a great way to make your own or a loved one's candle.

I recently heard 5G can be targeted at people to within inches.
I don't know if they meant that it can track you to within inches for their RPGs or if the radio towers can microwave only you in the middle of a crowd like chemo on cancer.
" These results lead to the question of whether man-made EMF may have an impact on I. ricinus activity and, as such, be a contributing factor to the ongoing changes in the distribution of the tick and its pathogens currently observed in Europe and elsewhere."
This one is actually a better than average show for the technicalities, however the production value is low compared to documentaries. I recommend either reading the articles in full or skip the intro to the reading of select paragraphs of many articles that he expertly highlights for their information. Playing at 2x speed halves the 48 min to 24 min.
I prolly should have posted it in /s/movies instead of the last topic I landed on.
Tous Les Matins is just soooo heartbreakingly sad. Rare in media to do so unapologetically. I think my life would be a tragedy too. Besides the profoundly gorgeous cinematography I looooove the soundtrack. Last year I shared a clip of the "Improvisation" on YouTube and discovered that the soundtrack tune I so loved was actually a classical music piece with dozens of arrangements and variations (covers and remixes)!!! La Follia / Les Folies d'Espagne / Folías de España, etc.
Also, FYI, Gérard Depardeu's son plays the younger version of his character. Died too young though.
Ok, sorry to respond OT for the sub, but I had totally forgotten about Cyrano and Tous Les Matins--both huge faves of mine back in the day. Thank you for the reminder(s), I shall seek them out again all these years later. They are both exquisite masterpieces, imho.
The main issue is not heat, until it is.
Yet, all our safety standards are based on heat.
In most cases we get ions being pierced through cell membranes or other disturbance
of electrochemistry that is common in biological systems.
It is not well researched and usually neglected.
I would even say: purposefully neglected for profits.
p13: The effects of superhigh frequencies
(accumulation of effects)
Two weeks after the ending of exposure of rats to the 50 microwatt/cm2 field, the level of chromosome damage was considerably higher than after the end of the exposure.
..the chromosomal anomalies caused by irradiation from the 500 mircowatt/cm2 field markedly declined 2 weeks after the end of irradiation. This, can be explained by the fact that changes originating in the bone marrow cells under the effect of the high intensity of SHF radiation are so great that the damaged cells are eliminated. This leads to a reduction of the quantity of chromosomal damage.
p1: (about previous experiment)
We previously obtained direct experimental data on the effects of SHF waves on permeability of human erythocyte membranes to potassium and sodium ions. [These are also very active in the brain] Exposure of a suspension of erythrocytes to 45 mW/cm2 SHF radiation in the range of 1009 Mhz elicited an increase in amount of potassium ions and decrease in sodium ions in the incubation medium, as compared to the control...
This means that WIFI /cell phone radiation affects the chemical processes at the membranes. Which may cause stress at the neurons for example. Stress is something that we see in official research too.
Figure3 illustrates changes in EM as a function of deformation of double electrical layer (DEL) and possible structural changes in erythocyte membranes.
These are all nice examples of a harmful effects by non-ionizing radiation.
Proven by scientists in 1977.
There were a few more reports.
I think it is possible, because birds often get very close to the antennas. And if you are very close, you receive the full power of the antenna. So it is very possible that they are getting fried. Similar to radar injuries.
I've no doubt the radiation is harmful. I don't place routers on the same floor I sleep...What I have an issue with is that politicians have conspired with telecom companies to radiate everyone else with this knowingly.
idk if 5g and ccp-virus are connected (i don't think they are, but i have done no research), but the commies are masons and so is italy - a heavily masonic, mafia infested country. and catholic spain is run by the socialists too..
just by abusing the extraordinary powers granted to them by the covid-alarmism these governments (lets not forget about iran here) can control the information and the media as they wish. who will check if any of the coffins presented on tv are empty if everyone is ordered to stay at home after all?
i am not crazy about the 5g conspiracies, but radiation is harmful, no matter what you think about conspiracies... there are different types of 5g tech being deployed, high speed, high energy and low speed, low energy (and possibly others). plus the range is limited... so, if you are somebody living on little st john, or in a nyc mansion with three feet thick granite walls, or in the buckingham palace, or behind the walls of the vatican, your exposure will be different to those having drywalls.
also, there is nothing stopping the powerfuls deploying dummy, unconnected 5g cells in their own vicinity. just to maintain appearances.
Explain to me the conspiracy where the conspirators wanna radiate the larger populace but also as well themselves because radio waves can't tell monetary class....?
And how are Jesuits behind this one too?
The world citizenry needs to be educated right now on all of this! I hope a non-corporate agency is collecting data on deaths and infection rates in 5G cities as compared to others. It is not at all unlikely that those exposed constantly to that brand of microwaves are succumbing more easily as they count as the immunocompromised.
As far as I understand , China deployed 5G on a massive scale, and their infection rate was also massive. I wonder if Italy and Spain have widespread 5G?
I like the hooded scarf. I could sleep in that too. I hear voices falling asleep or waking up. I suspect it's voice-to-skull tech until my paranoia fades and I get fully awake. Usually it's because I had too much caffeine.
I've had my eye on this hoodie for a long time, but it's always "out of stock":
The other ones I've seen are more than twice as costly, so I still don't use any shielded clothing.
I can't source the following exactly but it was from Harpers Magazine years ago. The article said that for years the Minuteman missile silos contained "missiles" that in fact could not function. Just one example of how: Everything We Know is Wrong. I didn't see Thunderf00t's explanation so will read it now. You might like the post I just submitted to /s/alternativehistory if you've never seen Sylvie Ivanova's NewEarth series but I'll bet you have. It is yet another example of how much we do not know.
I've seen enough new and old Hollywood to know for certain that a lot of it is propaganda.
On some levels all wars, including the Cold War, are very real. But on others they are entire fabrications.
It wouldn't surprise me if he was not as crazy as he sounds.
It's in "their" interests to keep us dependent on their energy. They want us all to have individual cars rather than having better frequent public transit (including personal cabins, cargo capacity, etc) and more loaner/rentals. Conversely they don't want everyone to have personal power, whether it's in a mini-fridge-sized to car-sized generator that could placed along every river bank, or even on piles in the middle of the river. They want us to believe it needs to be a giant thing like Niagra Falls or the Hoover Dam. That may be true if you're doing a bunch of cities all in one place - to control ALL the power.
Yeah, I watched the whole thing and heard him say it was a giant scam. And I remember The China Syndrome with Michael Douglas, Jane Fonda, and Jack Lemmon that he says was nonsense. So those with the big bucks it takes to build reactors want to keep the money to themselves and scare everyone else away. Clever of them.
I thought it might be unsuitable so glad you like it. There are longer versions of it. Quite hilarious. They must have slowly realized they were part of an experiment, laughing all the way. You have been busy while I have been shitposting.
Very interesting. Here is a non-sarcastic question: What happened at Chernobyl? According to Winsor, exposing the fuel rods is not a problem, so did something else happen at Chernobyl or was it another Three-mile Island hoax? No, I didn't see the TV series yet. The answer is probably in the voluminous source material you included. Thanks.
Galen Winsor is a nuclear physicist of renown who worked at, and helped design, nuclear power plants in Hanford, WA; Oak Ridge, TN; Morris, IL, San Jose, CA; Wimington, NJ. Among his positions of expertise he was in charge of measuring and controlling the nuclear fuel inventory and storage.
Galen Winsor has traveled and lectured all over America, spoken on national talk radio, and made several videos exposing the misunderstood issues of nuclear radiation. He shows that fear of radiation has been exaggerated to scare people ... so a few powerful people can maintain total control of the world's most valuable power resource. Filmed by Ben Williams in 1986.

Another Look at Nuclear Energy
Nuclear energy is on the go, helping countries in Europe and other parts of the world solve their energy woes economically and safely. Will America get back on board?
The new U.S.-Asian pact on global warming has more to do with transferring technology to China than with saving the planet from greenhouse gases.
The New Fuel Crisis
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita have exposed our nation's vulnerability to disruptions in fuel supply. Weaknesses in the system are due to unnecessary regulations and bureaucracy.
Race for Fuel
China's growing thirst for fuel has led the Communist country to search aggressively for oil outside its borders. That search may sow the seeds of conflict with the West.
Free Market vs. Price Controls
As gas prices hit record highs, calls are inevitable for government to remedy the "problem" through price controls— -- though that solution hasn't worked in the past.
The U.S. is headed for Third World status unless we change government policies that are driving U.S. businesses offshore, destroying jobs and putting entrepreneurs out of business.

Just go to Qualcomm Ericsson - you can't miss it.
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated (NASDAQ: QCOM), and Ericsson announced the successful completion of a 3GPP Rel-15 spec compliant 5G NR over-the-air (OTA) call over sub-6 GHz bands on a smartphone form factor mobile test device. The OTA call was conducted in the Ericsson Lab in Stockholm, Sweden on the 3.5 GHz band. Similar to the companies' first OTA calls performed using millimeter wave (mmWave) in both 28 and 39 GHz spectrum bands, which occurred in September 2018, today's sub-6 GHz call used by Ericsson's commercial 5G NR radio AIR 6488 and baseband products and a mobile test device powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon ™ X50 5G modem and RF subsystem.
Ericsson owns all the 5g patents, they use shell compays like qualcomm etc to put this shit up everywhere.
I'm going to break the mould and go for a "disagree, agree, disagree" tactic. I'm interested to know how effective it is at convincing people (I'm guessing not very, but let's see.)
So you're applying a barrier to entry that filters out only the people who are willing to sit through hours of videos about certain topics? Sounds like you're trying to manually generate an echo chamber. If the best argument you've got against my words is that I'm not in a certain set of people, then that suggests you actually don't have much of an argument against my words.
You seem angry. In my experience, people only usually get angry about words (that aren't personal attacks) when they're causing some sort of internal conflict in the reader. It's not my place to say whether this is due to cognitive dissonance or some event in your past or something else; I don't know you well enough.
I deleted Scientism from the Open Source article on Wikipedia because it's not about Open Source.
Your own statement proves yourself wrong and exposes the twisted logic they get you in.
I simply do not understand what you're trying to say here. I'm not saying that it doesn't work. I'm merely saying that I'd bet my life savings that it doesn't work, based on my previous life experiences.
Now we've disagreed, time to agree.
Meanwhile a lot of home remedies work way better than [allopathic cures].
Many do, yes. Very traditional remedies are only still around because they work, and work well.
The same cannot be said, however, for newly-invented scams passed off as traditional, natural or "naturopathic" cures. And I've no doubt that many of these are promoted by big companies. I've no doubt that some big commercial allopathic cures, especially those around mental health issues, are passed off as working to cure things that they don't, solve problems they never have, and have a much higher success rate than they actually do.
But those things aren't cancer.
Cancer is a name for a vast variety of similarly-behaving catastrophic revolts of the body. A cell or group of cells somehow gets the idea to go off and do its own thing, and our body's usual defence system just lets it do just that. We've tried loads and loads and loads of different things to solve the problem, from synthetic chemicals to mashed-up herbs to sharp objects to laser beams to standing on your head to poison to radiation to pure oxygen to diets. And we've got something that kind of sort of works.
Thousands died to teach us what we know now. Thousands more will die to teach us still more. We are unable to save millions. And yet we have given millions of people just another month, year, decade – and some we have cured.
The usual approach goes something like this:
Surgery – cut out as much cancer as possible. This one's falling out of favour somewhat, as there's evidence that some types of cancer get more aggressive when damaged, and if even a single cell remains…
Chemotherapy – poison the cancer. This has been improving, as we've found different chemicals that target rapidly-dividing cells more and more effectively, and so can avoid killing the rest of the patient.
Traditionally, this tends to make the patient's hair fall out and reduce the effectiveness of their immune system. However, we're getting closer and closer to a "magic bullet" for cancer. In fact, for some cancers, we're already using chemicals that target the cancer itself, which leaves the patient less vulnerable to other diseases, etc..
Radiotherapy – damage the tumour so much that it can't divide any more. This is dangerous, as it has the potential to cause cancer in other cells, and it only works for solid tumours. However, it's effective when it works, and we're developing more techniques (like robots and tattoo-guided laser guns) for increasing the dose to the tumour while decreasing the dose to the rest of the body.
There are also other treatments. A months-old technique injects immunostimulator into the tumour itself, basically making it a sort of beacon and allowing the immune system to properly attack and kill it. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a treatment involving basically killing the whole immune system and then making a bone marrow transplant has proven somewhat effective for treating leukaemia (and, as an added bonus, HIV too).
If an alternative medicine cure has promise, like IPT, then it'll be pursued by researchers, refined (if possible), marked up at a higher price (in the US; not as much where we've got Universal Healthcare) and become mainstream – it ceases to be alternative medicine. Yes, there's not enough funding for this, so it's slow, and people tend to play it safe and not test things that aren't guaranteed to work…
… but there's nothing stopping you from combining cancer treatments. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are often combined to produce much better results. Likewise, if you think there's a promising approach that hasn't been picked up by doctors yet for whatever reason, go ahead and try that too.
But forbidding a child known-effective cancer treatment is wildly unethical.
This is the reason Steve Jobs died, and he was an adult who was able to make his own choices. But having a parent decide that they'd rather be Right™ and stick it to the institutions than have the child survive? Reprehensible. Understandable, but a terrible, terrible thing.
The parents shouldn't have had to pay for it, but the system in America is known to be broken. I'd argue that this was a symptom. But the state's "kidnapping" to provide the child with potentially life-saving treatment? It is, in my mind, the moral thing to do.
I'm glad you appreciate the importance of this topic, and sad along with you that more people didn't see it. It's so creepy to watch a global kleptocracy deploy their madness on the world stage, in a coordinated strategy, with sound of crickets from the MSM. Once it starts affecting people en masse it will likely be too late to do anything about it.
Okay, allegedly cured - according to the lady in the video. Look it up if you don't trust her.
Considering that every single "alternate medicine cancer cure" I've come across has been a scam, I'm extremely suspicious of this.
Proof?
There is ABUNDANT proof that allopathic medicine is a rigged racket and that there are scams everywhere. My dad's a fucking doctor and he doesn't know shit despite knowing a lot of shit. My brother is a chiropractor. I dated a naturopath for a couple years.
I know all the games and I can tell you "they" want you to believe all but their scams are snake oil.
Meanwhile a lot of home remedies work way better than the Big Pharma poisons.
SCIENTISM

Your own statement proves yourself wrong and exposes the twisted logic they get you in. Watch the video again, or for the first time.

I don't think it's a matter of visibility. I think it the inherent nature of Saidit/Reddit. A LOT of stuff doesn't get the eyes and votes.
Not only that there's no difference between things I like a little and those I like a lot.
A good joke that 20 people think is moderately funny will get less points that a post that 9 people think is fanfuckingtastic.
If I could vote 0-10 rather than 0 or 1 then there's be a better quality to the votes and a more accurate reflection of quality and more authentic popularity.
Take that to the next level and rank what subs am I most interested vs less interested. If I don't want to unsubscribe from games, but would rather see 30 other subs first, then the binary thing doesn't reflect this either.
I don't know of a "better" sub would be. I'm just sad others missed it.

a boy with cancer was kidnapped by the state, parents charged, and will now be forced to endure 28 days of chemotherapy.
The only problem with this is that the parents were charged for the lifesaving treatment, but that's how things go in America. The fact that he was forced to undergo treatment that could save his life – well, the real problem is that his parents were withholding one of the only things that could stop his body from eating itself alive.
No, I haven't watched the video. I don't care to; it's almost certainly another one of these hour-long incoherent ones. The title's bad enough. | eng | a26cbb20-80bb-4e46-bd9c-0bac6b474374 | https://saidit.net/s/Radiation/comments/ |

Flipping Mean in an IPO
The concept of flipping has long been in existence in investment and financial markets. Typically, flipping represents the fact that investors buy an asset having a short holding time. The intention of this action is to sell the asset and make a quick profit. There is no long-term appreciation gauged for particular assets, so this may work for some investors and particular investments. In the field of initial public offerings, or IPOs, flipping an IPO is a term that is often employed to describe actions by some investors.
What is flipping?
The common use cases of flipping occur in the arena of finance. However, flipping is a general term that can be applied to any scenario in which an asset is bought only to be sold in the short term, with a view to turning a profit. Consequently, this is applicable to the purchase of stocks (after you open a demat account and store them for a short while), cryptocurrency, commodities, real estate, IPOs, etc. The most popular use of flipping is seen in the area of IPO investment and real estate purchase. Nonetheless, this is a practice that can be risky in cases where there is no scope to get a profit in the short run.
Flipping an IPO
When you speak about flipping, in terms of an IPO, or any upcoming IPO you have plans to invest in, an investor will resell stocks in the very first weeks, or even days, after the IPO has been listed. The investors who adopt this strategy to make money benefit from the "IPO pop" which hot IPOs are touted to have in the early days of their listings. In the true sense of investment, flipping is not undertaken by serious investors who look at profitability with solid stocks in the long run.
Is IPO flipping recommended?
Initial Public Offering, or IPO, flipping is not encouraged for investors just beginning their investment journey. There are rules in terms of lock-ups and other guidelines to be followed. Novices may not fully understand these. However, any new IPOs should ideally have a degree of flipping action as this serves to create substantial trading volume. In turn, this creates a buzz in the markets, required by new companies to draw in more investors.
Flipping in an IPO also makes a lot of sense, financially, as there are many stocks and shares that experience peak prices in the initial weeks or months once IPOs have become listed companies. After the peaks have been reached, stocks may go on a downward trend and this may last for a while
Flip with Caution
If you want to be a flipper, tempted with short-term gains, you should make sure that the upcoming IPO you are investing in holds the promise of being profitable in the near term after the company that it represents gets listed. Otherwise, flipping an IPO won't work for you. You can also open a demat account, and try flipping with a few good stocks first. Beginners should gain some experience in the markets and study new companies' backgrounds before any flipping activity | eng | 7f0f6337-e4e2-4613-93fe-db6236a55eeb | https://www.motilaloswal.com/article-details/flipping-mean-in-an-ipo/5488 |

The child being observed is Michael playing at a playground among other children of different ages. This 3-year-old boy nearing his fourth birthday within a month is my nephew. In addition to other children and their parents, the boy's mother and my sister are present at the site. Michael is of mixed ethnicity, and his parents come from the middle class and are not religious. He is the firstborn and has no confirmed congenital diseases. During childbirth, my sister had a cesarean section because, according to the doctors, Michael's umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck, and there were health risks. Both parents of the child speak English, including other children and their parents at the playground. Michael is in a relaxed atmosphere, actively playing with the children he knows, and sometimes runs up to my sister and me to say something. There are also other children of mixed ethnicities at the playground.
Child Observation
Michael is hopping and standing with periodic chasing or running while playing with other children of similar age. Occasionally, he climbs a small ladder at the playground for three to five steps, followed by descending with a subsequent small jump from the second step. He confidently runs, walks backward, and bends over as a part of his body language. After seeing how older children are chasing each other, he attempts to engage in the play by trying to chase them with some stops to observe. I have been at the playground for over an hour and can learn Michael's behavioral and communication skills when interacting with peers and adults.
I am writing to request an observation of Michael, your son, to assess his development characteristics and obtain comprehensive information about his individual skills. This is required for my study project, and your input would be greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions regarding the observation and its course, you can always contact me. No special preparatory measures are required, and my assessment will not involve making appropriate diagnoses or identifying potential abnormalities. I hope for your assistance and will be glad to meet my nephew.
Observation Notes
While observing the child, I notice that his vocabulary is not as full as that of some of his peers. However, the boy understands others' words of other children well and retells them to his mother. He also tries to imitate the behavior of other children, especially older ones. At one point, he runs up to us and says the following: "Look how I can jump," accompanying this with jumps that he saw from others. He has an understanding of what belongs to him and what does not, which is observed when playing with his toy truck. When seeing the children's attempts to take his toy, he first looks at his mother, who nods approvingly, and then the boy gives his truck.
He understands well the speech addressed to him and answers questions. When his mother asks whether he is hungry, he replies, "No, Mommy, I'm not hungry." While assessing the actions of other children, for instance, jumping and rolling down a slide, he uses facial expressions and laughs openly. At the same time, he is one of the least talkative kids at the playground. According to my sister, Michael started talking about a year ago, which is quite late. The child joins games with others, but he himself is not the initiator of new games. When answering children's questions, he uses short answers, usually "yes" or "no." However, he occasionally uses some mature phrases, especially when showing approval, such as saying "you're so good!" and "you're so good at it!" Michael is not naughty and only once makes a direct request for a drink.
Observation Interpretation
Based on the results of the observation, relevant conclusions can be drawn in the context of Michael's individual indicators with a focus on development domains. From the perspective of the physical domain, the boy is not inferior to his peers and can perform activities that are familiar to children of his age, including running, jumping, and other exercises. He is not overweight, which speaks of his parents' concern for proper nutrition.
Regarding Michael's cognitive development, some individual factors are crucial to mention. According to the observation, there is a slight delay in his speech development, which may be a consequence of pathology during pregnancy and urgent cesarean section. According to Takács et al., some studies have shown a negative effect of cesarean section on subsequent cognitive outcomes in children (1099). This also includes challenges with speech, which directly depend on the intrauterine development of the fetus. At the same time, as the observation shows, Michael interacts with children actively and uses the vocabulary available to him appropriately. While looking at his dialogue with his mother, one can see that she has chosen the right approach to stimulate her son's vocabulary skills, which is expressed in his adult remarks. As Napoli and Purpura argue, the role of parents in this aspect is significant because children adopt the speech patterns of adults, and constant oral dialogues are favorable for the development of speaking (595). Therefore, despite some delays, it is obvious that Michael will be able to achieve the same level of speaking skills as his peers.
Active play with other children demonstrates Michael's normal social development skills. He is not afraid of direct contact and enters into dialogues. In addition, the boy shows emotions openly and is not afraid of judgment, which is essential for his further psychological development. He trusts adults and does not demonstrate sudden mood swings. Michael shows interest in other children's games and does not alienate from them, which confirms his normal socio-emotional development.
Conclusion
Observing the selected child's individual characteristics allows for analyzing his unique traits within the main developmental domains. Based on this assessment, Michael, who is the target child, is a boy with normal physical, social, and emotional skills. Some difficulties with language development may be due to pathologies during pregnancy. Although the boy speaks less fluently than his peers, he understands and interprets their speech and the speech of adults well, which indicates adequate cognitive development. | eng | 98855505-df62-444b-966f-90e2468acd1f | https://psychologywriting.com/toddler-observation-and-assessment/ |

The Hanged Man As Feelings
March 11, 2023
5 Min Read
The concept of emotional intelligence has gained a lot of attention in recent years, as people have started to realize the importance of understanding and managing their emotions. Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to recognize, understand, and manage our own emotions, as well as the emotions of others. It is a crucial aspect of personal and professional growth, as it enables us to build strong relationships, make better decisions, and handle stressful situations with greater ease. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of emotional intelligence and discuss how it can benefit us in our personal and professional lives.
The Hanged Man as Feelings: Surrendering to Emotions
Tarot cards have been used for centuries to provide insight and guidance into various aspects of life, including relationships, career, and personal growth. One of the most intriguing and often misunderstood Tarot cards is the Hanged Man. While some may see this card as a symbol of punishment or suffering, it actually represents surrender, sacrifice, and letting go.
In this blog post, we will explore the Hanged Man as a representation of different feelings and emotions. Whether you are going through a difficult time or simply seeking a new perspective on life, understanding the Hanged Man can provide valuable insights into your innermost thoughts and feelings.
The Hanged Man: A Closer Look
Before we delve into the different emotions and feelings that the Hanged Man represents, it is important to understand what the card actually means. The Hanged Man is depicted as a figure hanging upside down from a tree or beam, with one leg crossed over the other. The card is often associated with sacrifice and surrender, as the figure appears to have willingly put themselves in this position.
The Hanged Man is also associated with the element of water, which represents emotions and intuition. This ties in with the card's theme of surrendering to one's emotions and allowing oneself to experience them fully. The Hanged Man is not a passive figure, but rather someone who has actively chosen to surrender and let go.
Now, let's explore the different feelings and emotions that the Hanged Man can represent.
The Hanged Man as Acceptance
One of the primary meanings of the Hanged Man is acceptance. When we feel stuck or trapped in a situation, it can be difficult to let go and move on. The Hanged Man reminds us that sometimes the only way to move forward is to accept our circumstances and surrender to the flow of life. This can be a difficult lesson to learn, but it is essential for personal growth and healing.
The Hanged Man as Surrender
Surrender is another key theme of the Hanged Man. When we feel like we are constantly fighting against the current, it can be exhausting and frustrating. The Hanged Man reminds us that sometimes the best course of action is to surrender and let go of our need for control. This can be particularly challenging for those who are used to being in charge or taking charge of their lives, but it can also be incredibly liberating.
The Hanged Man as Patience
Patience is another important emotion that the Hanged Man represents. When we are going through a difficult time, it can be tempting to try to force a resolution or push for change. However, the Hanged Man reminds us that sometimes the best course of action is to be patient and wait for things to unfold naturally. This requires a great deal of trust in oneself and in the universe, but it can ultimately lead to a more positive outcome.
The Hanged Man as Letting Go
Letting go is a theme that is closely tied to surrender. When we hold onto grudges, resentments, or old patterns of behavior, it can be difficult to move forward in life. The Hanged Man reminds us that sometimes the best way to grow and evolve is to let go of the past and embrace the present. This can be a painful process, but it is essential for personal growth and healing.
The Hanged Man as Transformation
Transformation is another key theme of the Hanged Man. When we are going through a difficult time, it can be hard to see a way out or a path forward. The Hanged Man reminds us that sometimes the only way to transform our lives is to let go of old patterns and beliefs and embrace new ways of thinking and being. This can be a scary and uncertain process, but it can also be incredibly empowering.
The Hanged Man as Self-Reflection
Self-reflection is another important aspect of the Hanged Man. When we feel stuck or unsure of our next steps, it can be helpful to take a step back and reflect on our lives and our choices. The Hanged Man encourages us to look within ourselves and examine our beliefs, values, and priorities. This can help us gain clarity and perspective on our lives and make more informed decisions.
The Hanged Man as Trust
Trust is a theme that is closely tied to patience and surrender. When we are going through a difficult time, it can be challenging to trust ourselves and the universe. The Hanged Man reminds us that sometimes the only way to move forward is to trust in ourselves and in the universe. This requires a great deal of faith and courage, but it can ultimately lead to a more positive outcome.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Hanged Man is a powerful symbol of surrender, sacrifice, and letting go. It represents a willingness to accept our circumstances, surrender to our emotions, and trust in the universe. Whether you are going through a difficult time or simply seeking a new perspective on life, the Hanged Man can provide valuable insights into your innermost thoughts and feelings. By embracing the themes of acceptance, surrender, patience, letting go, self-reflection, and trust, you can transform your life and move forward with greater clarity and purpose. | eng | 49fd84f0-e9d9-49d4-a237-196867965699 | https://www.websplashers.com/the-hanged-man-as-feelings/ |
No matter what kind of wound you have, the healing process can be a long and tedious one. But there are steps you can take to help speed up the process for a faster recovery. In this blog post, we will discuss 6 expert tips for speeding up wound healing so that you can get back to your normal routine in no time.
We will also discuss the importance of hygiene, proper wound care, and nutrition. So, whether you're dealing with a scraped knee or a more serious injury, use these tips to help make the healing process go as smoothly as possible.
# Start Using Peptides
Peptides are protein molecules that help stimulate collagen production, which is important in wound healing as it speeds up the growth of new tissue. Applying peptide topical treatments to your wound can help reduce inflammation and accelerate healing time. Also, BPC 157 peptide has been researched and found to have a positive effect on wound healing, so it might be worth trying out.
It has been proven to be effective in helping to reduce swelling, increase cell regeneration, and speed up wound recovery. Additionally, the peptides can be used to help heal scars and improve the appearance of them. For instance, applying a peptide cream or serum to the scar can help reduce its size and make it less noticeable.
# Make Sure You Keep the Wound Clean
It is important to keep your wound clean in order to reduce the risk of infection, which can slow down healing. Make sure you wash the wound with soap and water, and apply a topical disinfectant like iodine or hydrogen peroxide. Additionally, cover the wound with a sterile bandage and change it daily in order to prevent dirt and bacteria from getting into the wound.
# Eat A Healthy Diet
Eating a healthy diet is essential for speeding up wound healing. Eating foods that are rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants helps to promote tissue growth and repair. Additionally, make sure you're eating enough protein as it helps build new cells and replace damaged ones. Foods like lean meats, fish, eggs, beans, nuts, and seeds are all great sources of protein that can help to improve healing time.
# Take Supplements
Certain supplements can aid in the wound-healing process. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that helps promote collagen production for faster healing. Additionally, zinc is important for skin health and wound repair as it helps to form new tissue and support immune system function. Also, omega-3 fatty acids are beneficial for reducing inflammation and promoting healing in the body.
Taking a daily supplement with these three ingredients can help accelerate recovery time. Furthermore, there are also specialty wound healing supplements available that specifically target the repair and regeneration of tissue.
For example, a supplement containing arginine, glutamine, and cysteine has been found to be effective at promoting wound healing. Or, you can take a multivitamin that contains these vitamins and minerals. Either way, be sure to consult with your doctor before taking any supplements.
# Avoid Stress
Stress can impede the wound-healing process, so it's important to try to reduce stress as much as possible. Make sure you are getting enough sleep and taking time for yourself to relax and unwind. Additionally, try to limit the amount of strenuous activities or exercise that you do until your wound is fully healed. It's important to give your body the time it needs in order to complete the healing process.
# Seek Professional Help
If your wound isn't healing properly or if you have any questions about wound care, it's always best to seek professional medical advice. Your doctor can provide personalized treatment recommendations for speeding up the healing process and preventing further complications.
Additionally, they may be able to prescribe antibiotics or other medications if necessary. For example, some wounds require the use of antibiotics to prevent infection and promote healing. Or, if your wound is particularly deep or severe, they may recommend a skin graft or other surgical procedure to help repair it.
Skin grafts involve transplanting healthy skin from another area of the body to the wound in order to help fill it in and make it look more normal. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions in order to ensure a successful recovery. So make sure to consult a doctor if you're concerned about your wound healing process.
Final Words
By following these 6 expert tips for speeding up wound healing, you can help make the recovery process go more quickly and smoothly so that you can get back to feeling like yourself again in no time!
If you have any questions or concerns about wound care, be sure to reach out to your doctor for more personalized advice. With the right treatment plan and some dedication on your part, you can get back to your normal routine in no time | eng | 51f9db0d-f473-4b43-9e2b-cd016b9a9fea | https://viebly.com/expert-tips-for-speeding-up-wound-healing/ |
Broadleaf pepperweed
Broadleaf pepperweed bites back. There's a reason they call it the wasabi of Scandinavia—it tastes like the Japanese horseradish that comes with your sushi. Some even think that it goes better with sushi than the Japanese version, because it doesn't overpower the taste buds.
Where to Find It
Broadleaf pepperweed can be found along the coast in the southern and eastern parts of Denmark. It's a very hardy plant that can survive out in the water, in full sun, and even in the wind. It needs salty soil to survive, so you'll typically find it on beaches where the decomposing seaweed furnishes nutrients, or further inland where the soil is richer but still salty. You can also find it growing along harbor entrances and in port facilities between the rocks and stones.
Salt marshes, beaches, towns.
When to Find It
You can pick broadleaf pepperweed leaves and shoots from May until August. Pick the flowers throughout summer, but the seeds won't be ready until the end of summer.
How to Spot It
Broadleaf pepperweed is a grayish-green herb that can grow up to a meter tall. It has a matte, pale green stem and oblong, oval leaves that taper to a point. The surface of the leaves is glossy and waxy, with small, sharply defined teeth around the edges. It starts the season as a rosette of leaves on the ground but will later sprout a stem, branch out a bit, and reach upright into the air. It develops small, white flowers that grow together in tiny, round clusters at the top of the plant. The seeds are flat and look like pale green bell pepper seeds.
How to Pick It
Broadleaf pepperweed should be gathered with a knife or pruning shears to avoid uprooting it. Collect the leaves at the beginning of the season; later you can pick the whole top of the plant with stem, leaves, and all. Feel down the stem to the point where it is no longer soft and flexible, and clip there. The young, bright green parts of the plant taste best.
On the palate
Broadleaf pepperweed is crisp and succulent to the bite and has a clean taste of horseradish and mustard, with a slight saltiness. At first it causes a burning sensation in the mouth, but that quickly fades.
Aroma
Broadleaf pepperweed has no particular scent.
Preparation
Like horseradish, broadleaf pepperweed loses its flavor when cooked, so use the leaves and stem raw or add them as a topping to a dish. As soon as you chop broadleaf pepperweed, it begins to lose its flavor—especially if it's chopped finely. It's also best to use the seeds and flowers raw. They are little flavor bombs, so use them sparingly and mix them well into any preparation.
Uses
Broadleaf pepperweed adds a spicy sharpness to food. Mix broadleaf pepperweed with oil to get an emerald green oil with notes of horseradish that can be used in mayonnaise, as a sauce on its own, or drizzled over creamy soups just before serving. Broadleaf pepperweed is very good paired with all types of shellfish, potatoes, eggs, brined pork, and umami-packed dishes like beef tartare.
Storage
Cover the broadleaf pepperweed with a moist cloth and store in a sealed bag or airtight container inside the crisper drawer of your refrigerator, where the leaves and stems will stay fresh for up to a couple of weeks. Store the seeds and flowers in a cool, dry place. The flowers should be used as quickly as possible, but the seeds can keep for up to 14 days.
Substitutions
Horseradish or European sea rocket can be substituted for broadleaf pepperweed.
Risk of misidentifying the plant
There is no risk of mistaking the plant for another dangerous or undesirable plant. | eng | 4a4e00e2-3e88-4c9f-9fb6-827c6c0356c9 | https://vildmad.dk/en/ingredients/broadleaf-pepperweed |

How AI can help investors, according to Toggle AI CEO
AI can help investors harness and better understand data about the markets, said Toggle AI CEO Jan Szilagyi on Yahoo Finance Live (video above).
"We've taken this really incredible technology that allows us to communicate with computers, train it in a lot of the analytical methods that allow you to then understand better what's going on in the markets," he said. "Just like this morning, when you were really trying to get a narrative of a range of assets, and I think this has become substantially easier with all the progress we've seen in generative AI."
The AI hype cycle is in full swing, and it was kicked off at the end of last year by the release of OpenAI-built ChatGPT. Toggle AI, an analytics firm, is looking to use the power of generative AI to track what's happening in the markets on a sector-by-sector and company-by-company basis. However, Toggle AI is very careful not to make recommendations; the company's priority is to provide information.
"So, very importantly, it doesn't issue Buy or Sell recommendations," said Szilagyi. "We have a lot of advisers who are actually using our platform. It allows them to very quickly do a data check. For example, you're trying to understand what's currently going on with banks. Why are banks, for example, up today versus technology, which might be down? Is it more earnings-driven? Is it positioning-driven, and so on?," he said.
"It provides context by harnessing this large amount of data and distilling it down to the key things that really matter, but it it definitely works in tandem with us as opposed to replacing advisers, as opposed to replacing what all of us do," he added.
It's also important to note that the platform Toggle AI is working with, while it might have some things in common with ChatGPT, has been built to specifically provide accurate financial information.
Toggle AI
"ChatGPT, of course, is in the limelight because everybody is now learning to use this technology," said Szilagyi. "What we've taken is foundationally the same model, but we've trained it specifically and much more narrowly on financial analytics, because the concern you might have when you're using this technology in finance is, 'What if I get a wrong answer?' There could be hallucinations. How can I be sure that what you're telling me is factually correct? So, what you see with Toggle is that each time analysis is done and summarized for you, you have complete traceability."
Ultimately, AI is unlikely to replace human financial advisers, but what it can do is be that proverbial tide that raises all boats, helping create a financial system that everyone understands better across the board.
"To an extent, [AI] does elevate everybody's level of understanding of the market, but I don't think it necessarily changes dramatically the relative hierarchy," he said. "There will be people who will be spending more time with it to continue to understand the markets better, and will use it differently than others. I do think that just in the sense of financial literacy and a better understanding of how to avoid some really bad mistakes and outcomes – that's where the technology can be very helpful | eng | 4deb9126-3a7e-4f2a-8b24-605890efc0cd | https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-ai-can-help-investors-according-to-toggle-ai-ceo-175010377.html?fr=sycsrp_catchall |
Matthew Fowler: With biomarker testing, what targets are you specifically looking for? Which of these have therapeutic implications?
Oliver Sartor, MD: Several are covered by the FDA as having approved therapies. One would be the homologous recombination repair genes. These are the well-known BRCA1 and BRCA2 but also potentially other genes, such as ATM, CHEK2, PALB2. There's a whole list of these that are part of the olaparib FDA approval; that's easily referenceable. I can't remember all 14 genes, but I don't have to. I can look it up when I need to. For the rucaparib-accelerated approval, those are both for castration-resistant disease. We're not talking about the initial diagnosis—that's a BRCA1 and a BRCA2 story, which is a little different for the rucaparib predictive biomarkers, as opposed to the olaparib FDA approval.
Of course, we have mismatch repair genes; there are ways you can look at this. In nongenomic manners, you can look at immunohistochemistry for things like MSH2 and MSH6, where for the classic mismatch repair genes you'll get loss in protein staining. You can also pick it up genomically; it's nice to do both. We have another parameter called MSI [microsatellite instability], which can be looked at it in a very specific genomic type test. It's amplifying the little CAG repeats, the little triplet repeats that you can see in tumors. They have instability when there's mismatch repair alterations.
We can also look at tumor mutational burden [TMB], which is important. Let's draw that together. Mismatch repair deficiency, MSI-high, and high tumor mutational burden are all indications for the future use of pembrolizumab. Not initially in the up-front setting, but for pembrolizumab very specifically. I named the drug by name because it's not all PD-1 inhibitors. This is FDA approved in a tumor-agnostic fashion. There are other things out there I'm potentially looking for, but that's in a more experimental sense. I'll stop right there and say that homologous recombination repair, mismatch repair, MSI-high, and TMB—put that together. Those are the predictive biomarkers that are FDA approved today.
Matthew Fowler: What are some of the challenges or barriers to getting biomarker testing?
Oliver Sartor, MD: It turns out, for the germline, there are very few barriers today. We generally do this as part of our routine. I know that there's potentially some controversy with the way we approach it, because I don't refer to a genetic counselor up front. We tried that model, and by the way, others have as well. Hospitals like Royal Marsden [in London, England] have also managed to do it without the genetic counselor being involved from day 1. We go through the pros and cons, and I'm there to answer any questions. Yes, there are some issues related to germline. Not on the medical front, but you can be discriminated for life insurance, you can be discriminated for various employee insurance, not for medical insurance. It turns out that discrimination for life insurance can play an important role for certain individuals; that can be a challenge for the germline side.
On the somatic side, the real test is going to be reimbursement issues that arise. Not everyone is going to have insurance that will embrace the NGS [next-generation sequencing] approach toward tissue. Sometimes we must fight that battle a little. There's also the potential challenge that tissue can be very scarce, or it's difficult to obtain. It's not uncommon that we may have a patient who was seen and diagnosed in a community urology clinic 7 years ago, and then they show up to me with metastatic disease. If we're trying to get archival tissue, then we must chase that community hospital sample from 7 years ago. That could be a substantial issue. We don't have any problems with circulating tumor DNA, so then I move a little more toward the circulating tumor DNA if I have trouble with the somatic tissue, getting the tissue. Sometimes you just can't get tissue at all. Sometimes you get tissue and there are quality control problems. If we look at the large olaparib study called PROfound, it turns out that about 30% of the patients who had had a sample submitted did not have a result because of quality control issues with the DNA of the tissue. The variety of potentially problematic issues whenever you're starting to try to get a piece of tissue from somebody diagnosed with prostate cancer can run all the way from a tissue availability to quality and reimbursement issues. All those have to be dealt with. | eng | 03cd1bfd-7239-4794-aa0f-722a1c6c29ed | https://www.cancernetwork.com/view/biomarker-testing-in-metastatic-prostate-cancer |

Title:
Under the Yoke: Europe's Natural Gas Dependency on Russia42.0
Abstract:
Russia provides Europe with less than a quarter of its natural gas requirements. Yet, it has used this resource to both coerce and punish European nations. Gas has become Russias foreign policy tool of choice. Although Europe has attempted to minimize Russias leverage by diversifying their suppliers, Russia has actively resisted this strategy with a combination of divide-and-conquer tactics and the acquisition or creation of gas pipelines that supply Europe. Due to a number of reasons, including environmental restrictions against CO2 emissions and a declining acceptance of nuclear power, the EUs need for gas is increasing while its limited organic gas sources, such as the North Sea, are depleting. Hydraulic fracturing is having an impact on the world natural gas markets, but it is unlikely to reduce Europes reliance upon Russias gas due to the procedures possible environmental impact. | eng | d912b4c2-4f3b-4737-89bf-07e3e74af928 | https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/citations/ADA561551 |
1. THE STEP OVER DRIBBLE - WINNING FOOT SKILLS • AGES 6-9
THE STEP OVER DRIBBLE - Winning Foot Skills for Ages 6-9. USSF Certified Coach and former NAIA All-American Mike Araujo demonstrates a football skill for attackers to beat their defender and create space. The player takes a step over the ball in the direction of the inside of the foot, and then takes a touch with the outside of the same foot in the other direction. This dribble is used ...to fake out a defender and get them moving on one direction, while the dribbler accelerates in the other. It can be used to beat a defender in a 1v1, or to simply create some space for the dribbler to find a pass or shot. Players should practice this move frequently and along with many other dribbles, which will make them hard to predict and confident on the ball in many different situations | eng | 0aaf93bb-3716-43aa-8ea4-11555d70fc0b | https://sportsedtv.com/sport/soccer-instructional-videos/the-step-over-dribble-winning-foot-skills-ages-6-9 |
In this ninth and penultimate installment of #The101: iRules, we're moving ever closer to equipping you with what I hope will be a solid arsenal of iRules knowledge. With it, the idea is for you to go forth and prosper in the ways of iRules fu. So far we've covered a wide range of topics starting from the overtly simple and introductory to things more and more germane directly to iRules as a technology and language. Today's topic, strings and their manipulation, strikes deeper towards that end of the spectrum than before. First, though, let's make sure we're all on the same page here and recount what's been covered so far. Keep in mind this series builds upon itself in places and if you're not keeping up, you may find yourself confused. So, take a minute to read through the titles here and be sure you're read up on the series.
Now…to say we're getting to the heart of the matter, dealing with string commands and parsing, re-arranging and modification, would almost be saying it too lightly…understating. String manipulation is a massive part of iRules, and is in fact a solid part of why we are using Tcl as our language of choice, along with many others that I've covered elsewhere in detail. String manipulation is useful in many ways, in many places. Whether it's re-writing a URI for an inbound HTTP request or parsing part of the TCP payload and twiddling the bits to read a bit differently, or perhaps just determining the first n characters of a string to be used for some purpose or another…all of it revolves around strings.
Fortunately for us, Tcl handles strings extremely well. In fact, everything is a string in Tcl's eyes, and as such there are many powerful tools with which you can twist strings to your desires with relative ease, and great effect. To cover all of the options would be a huge process, but we'll go over the basics here, the things seen most commonly within iRules, and you can research the more obscure wizardry at will. The publicly available documentation is good for most of the commands in question. So, in this article we will cover:

What is a string and why do I care?
A string is a particular data type, and is generally understood to be a sequence of characters, either as a literal constant, or represented in variable form. This means that basically anything can be a string. A name, an IP address, a URL…all of them are strings, especially in Tcl. Generally speaking, unless things are specifically typed as an integer or some other data type, it is a safe bet to assume they are a string. That being said, since Tcl is not a statically typed language and thereby does not allow you to specify data types explicitly, it treats everything as a string save for a few specific conditions. This is a good thing for iRules, as it means that there isn't a lot of messing about with data types, and that you can generally manipulate things in string format without much hassle. That means less programming fuss, and more getting the effect you want.
What are the most commonly used string commands?
First off, the most common and widely used command in Tcl for dealing with strings is, quite simply, "string". Mind you, in and of itself this command has little use. There are many, many permutations of this command from changing the case of a string to referencing only a portion of it, to re-ordering it and more. With this single command, and the many sub commands, you can perform the lion's share of your string work within iRules. So the question is really which "string" sub commands are most commonly used?
This one is a bit of an intense, broad sweeping question. There are so many things that you can do with a string in Tcl that listing them all here would be an indigestible amount of information, and wouldn't make sense to portray. As such, I'll do my best to list a few string commands that seem to often crop up in iRules, and discuss what each does. For a full reference on the string command and other Tcl base commands, you can find the official Tcl documentation online here ( )
string tolower
string tolower string ?first? ?last?
Without question the most common and widely used string command within iRules is also one of the simplest. The tolower command does pretty much what it sounds like. It converts the entirety of a string's contents to lowercase. Meaning, if you had a variable named "$uri" and the contents were, "/Admin/WebAccess", you could run the string tolower command when performing comparisons to get a different result.
For instance:
1:set uri "/Admin/WebAccess"
2:log local0. "Uri : $uri"
3:log local0. "Lower Uri: [string tolower $uri]"
Would result in "Uri: /Admin/WebAccess" for the first log message, and "Lower Uri: /admin/webaccess" for the second. This is thanks to the string tolower command. Why is this so useful in iRules? Because any time you're performing a string based comparison, it is important to be sure you're comparing things in the same case. Think about comparing a host name, a URI, etc. and suddenly you may see why there's so much value in this simple command. This becomes increasingly important with things like datagroups, where you are comparing a single value against a broad range of key values. Being able to assure they are all in the proper case, and then force the incoming comparison value to that case is extremely useful.
Keep in mind that this, like most of the other string commands, does not actually modify the string itself. If you took our above example where we provided the lowercase URI and referenced $uri again, it would still maintain the original case, unaltered. For example, ensuring you directed users attempting to access the admin portion of an application while ensuring they aren't worried about proper casing gets simpler with the tolower command:
Much as you'd expect given the name, the string length command returns the length of the string in question. This can be used for many different things, but probably the most common use-case observed so far in iRules has been to ascertain whether or not a given command returned a proper result. For instance:
1:whenHTTP_REQUEST {
2:set cookie_val [HTTP::cookie "x-my-cookie"]
3:if {[string length $cookie_val > 1} {
4:log local0. "cookie was passed properly"
5:pool http_pool
6: }
7: }
Of course there are many ways to perform a similar check, and some are even more efficient if all you're trying to do is identify whether or not a command returned null or not, but if you want to check to see if a specific answer was set of at least n characters, or for a few other very handy purposes I've seen, the string length command can be handy.
The string range command allows you to reference a particular portion of a given string and retrieve only that specific range of characters. This could be characters 1-10, the first character to the 3rd, or perhaps the 15th to the end of the string. There are many different ways to reference string segments and divide things up using this command, but the result is the same. It returns the value of the portion of the string you define.
This has proved useful time and time again in iRules for things like retrieving portions of a URI, ensuring that a hostname starts with a particular prefix, or dozens of other such seemingly simple requirements. Without the string range command those benign tasks would be a major headache. Note that the first character in the string starts with an ID of 0, not 1.
For instance, if you're looking at a URI that is "/myApp?user=bob" where bob is a variable username, and you're looking to return only the username you have a few options, but string range makes that quite simple:
1:whenHTTP_REQUEST {
2:set user [string range [HTTP::uri] 12 end]
3:log local0. "User: $user"
4: }
string map
string map mapping string
Where string range allows you to select a given part of a string and return it, string map allows you to actually modify sub strings in-line. Also, instead of acting on a count or range of characters, string map works with an actual string of characters. Whereas with string range you may want to look up a particular part of a URI, such as the first 10 characters, and see if they match a string, or route based on them or…something; with string map you are able to make changes in real-time, changing one string of characters to another.
For instance with string range you may have a logic statement like "Do the first 10 characters of the URI match x". You'd supply the string to fetch the range from and the number of characters you want, by giving a beginning and end character. With string map you'd be saying something like "look for any string that looks like x, and change it to y in the given string" by providing the string to work against as well as a source and destination string, meaning "Change all cases of http to https".
The string first command allows you to identify the first occurrence of a given sub string of characters within a string. This can be extremely useful for combining with the string range command. For instance, if I want to find the first occurrence of "/admin" in a URI and collect the URI from that point to the end, it would be quite difficult without the string first command. What if I don't know what the exact URI will be? What if there is a variable portion of the URI that comes before "/admin" that I don't want to collect, but have to somehow account for even though it is variable in length? I can't just set a static range and use the string range command alone, so I have to get creative and combine commands.
By making use of the string first command, if I have a URI that looks something like "/users/apps/bob/bobsapp?user=admin" where the username is variable length and I can't be certain of the length of the URI because of it, but I wanted to retrieve the user argument being passed in, I could do something like:
What the above is doing is finding the first occurance of "user=" in the URI and returning the index of the first character. Then adding 5 to that, since that is the length of the string "user=", and we want to reference what comes after "user=", not include it, then take the range of the string from that point to the end, and return that as the value of the username being passed in. It looks a bit complex, but if you break it down command by command, you're really just stringing together several smaller commands to get the functionality you want. And now you can start to see why string commands are so important and powerful in iRules.
Again, a command true to its name, the string trim command allows you to manipulate the beginning and end of a given string to trim off unwanted characters. Perhaps you have a string that you need to ensure doesn't begin or end with white space, or you're looking at URI comparisons and need to be sure that you don't have a trailing slash in some cases and not others. Regardless, the string trim command makes that easy. All you'd do is specify which characters you want to ensure are removed, either whitespace or slashes in the examples just mentioned, and you'd be set to ensure standardized comparisons. For instance, if you want to ensure that someone is making a request to the admin section of your domain you can be sure that they are going to have a slash at the beginning of the URI, but they may or may not include a trailing slash. You could use the starts_with comparison operator to ignore this, but that would also ignore anything else they may include after the specific string. If you want an exact match for either "/admin" or "/admin/" you could use an or, or could trim the URI, like so:
1:whenHTTP_REQUEST {
2:if{[string trim [HTTP::uri] "/"] eq "admin"} {
3:pool admin_pool
4: }
5: }
Note that by using the trim command it removed both the preceding and trailing slashes. There are trimright and trimleft versions as well, for only trimming one end of a string, if that's necessary.
What commands besides the Tcl "string" command would be useful for strings?
While there is a massive amount that can be done with the string command and the many subcommands thereof, there are some limitations. Some functional, others performance, that should be accounted for. In some situations you may need more power than a simple string command, or even a set of string commands. If that is the case then you're looking at either the scan command, or using regular expressions. I won't cover them in detail here, as there's just too much and it gets advanced very quickly, but I'll give a brief overview.
scan
The scan command also has many permutations and a near endless set of possibilities. It is insanely high performance, but almost equally as unintuitive. It is not for the feint of heart to begin tackling the advanced end of the pool with the scan command's options, but the easier things are more palatable, and can serve very useful purposes. We encourage people looking to do slightly more advanced string matching or mapping to look at scan as an alternative to multiple string commands, and for those things that string commands just can't accomplish. It is very fast, very efficient code-wise, and offers a wide range of possibilities from string conversion to mapping and more. You can read more about the scan command here ( for official documentation and here ( for some more DC info.
regex
Regular expressions are also available to you within iRules. They are amazingly powerful, as is always the case with regex style matching, even though lookbacks are disabled for efficiency in this implementation. They have amazing potential and are highly portable, as regex syntax is fairly ubiquitous in the *Nix world whether in programming or otherwise. Unfortunately they are also amazingly inefficient, as far as iRules commands go. Regular expressions are the single most expensive operation you can perform in an iRule, suspending commands aside. Firing up the regex interpreter alone runs about the same as the cost of 10 standard string commands, and that's before you've done any actual comparisons. For this reason we tend to encourage people to only use regular expressions when necessary, and to seek out other solutions where it's possible. | eng | e86a22e0-15f1-4624-b288-5eb76faea3d3 | https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-articles/the101-string-handling-and-manipulation/ta-p/280757 |

Boone and Crockett to collaborate with National Archery in the Schools Program
The Boone and Crockett Club's Conservation Education Program will soon begin a new mobile archery sport program to provide a hands-on archery, hunter ethics and conservation education module, the organization said in a news release Thursday, Aug. 3.
The Boone and Crockett Archery-Mobile (BCAM) program is collaborating with the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP) to initiate a new way to promote healthy outdoor activity for youth and set them on the path to become future hunter-conservationists, the release said.
The BCAM will contain an entire NASP-approved archery setup, which is capable of hosting 10 archers at once. The NASP-approved curriculum will be delivered to middle- and high school-aged youth during school hours, primarily while in physical education classes, the release said.
An "Archery-Mobile" trailer will transport the archery equipment to and from each school. BCAM is currently targeting 50-plus schools across north and central Montana with four schools already signed on to host the program later this year.
The NASP program has been taught in 14,000 schools in five countries with widespread support from teachers, parents, students and administrators, the release said. The BCAM will be fully implemented by November; the organization said it still needs funding for additional gear, travel costs and maintenance of equipment in future years.
To learn more about the BCAM or to make a contribution to the program, contact Luke Coccoli at luke@boone-crockett.org. | eng | 710ed8cb-ae93-4ce4-b4aa-d2a70e3bac49 | https://www.outdoornews.com/2017/08/04/boon-crockett-collaborate-national-archery-school-program/ |

Which can be a problem if your son is likely to be installing many apps and games, and some games can be over a 1GB, e.g. Asphalt 8. Music, photos and videos can be stored on an SD card, if added. Also if your carrier/network is Verizon, which is CDMA/EVDO, this phone being GSM/HSDPA won't work on it. You'd have to use a GSM carrier with it, like ATT.

How Many Sundays in a Month
The Ultimate Guide to Counting Sundays in a Month
Have you ever wondered how many Sundays are in a month? It's a common question that many people ask, especially when planning their schedules or events. Knowing the number of Sundays in a month can help you plan your weekends and make the most out of your free time.
Counting Sundays in a month may seem like a simple task, but it can be tricky, especially if you're not familiar with the calendar system. The good news is that there are several methods you can use to determine the number of Sundays in a month.
The first method is to count the number of days in the month and divide by seven. Since there are seven days in a week, this will give you an estimate of the number of weeks in the month. For example, if a month has 31 days, dividing by seven gives you 4.42. This means that there are four full weeks and two extra days. Since Sunday is the first day of the week, you can assume that there are four Sundays in the month.
However, this method is not always accurate since some months have 28, 29, 30, or 31 days. To get a more precise answer, you need to consider the specific dates of the month and the days of the week they fall on.
The second method is to use a calendar and count the number of Sundays in the month. You can do this by marking all the Sundays on the calendar and counting them at the end of the month. This method is more accurate than the first one since it takes into account the actual dates of the month.
Another way to count Sundays in a month is to use a formula. The formula is as follows:
Number of Sundays = (Total days in the month + Day of the week of the first day of the month – 1) / 7
For example, let's say you want to know how many Sundays are in August 2021. August has 31 days, and the first day of the month is a Sunday. Using the formula, we get:
Number of Sundays = (31 + 0 – 1) / 7 = 4
Therefore, there are four Sundays in August 2021.
It's important to note that this formula works only if the first day of the month is a Sunday. If the first day is any other day of the week, you need to adjust the formula accordingly.
Knowing how many Sundays are in a month can be useful for various reasons. For example, if you're planning a weekend getaway or a family outing, you can choose a month with more Sundays to maximize your time off. Similarly, if you're trying to schedule appointments or meetings, knowing the number of Sundays in a month can help you avoid conflicts.
In conclusion, counting Sundays in a month may seem like a trivial task, but it can have practical implications for your daily life. Whether you use a calendar, a formula, or a simple division method, knowing the number of Sundays in a month can help you plan your time more efficiently and make the most out of your weekends. So next time someone asks you how many Sundays are in a month, you'll know exactly what to say!
Why Some Months Have More Sundays Than Others
Have you ever wondered why some months seem to have more Sundays than others? It's a question that has puzzled many people over the years, and the answer is actually quite simple.
Firstly, it's important to understand that there are seven days in a week, and each month can have anywhere from 28 to 31 days. This means that some months will naturally have more Sundays than others simply because of the number of days they contain.
For example, if a month has 30 days, it will have four full weeks plus two extra days. Since there are seven days in a week, this means that there will be four Sundays in that month, with two days left over. These two extra days could fall on any day of the week, depending on which month it is.
However, there is another factor that can affect the number of Sundays in a month, and that is the way in which we define a "month". There are several different ways to measure a month, including the lunar month, the solar month, and the calendar month.
The lunar month is based on the cycles of the moon, and lasts for approximately 29.5 days. This means that there are roughly 12.4 lunar months in a solar year. However, since the lunar month does not align perfectly with the solar year, there can be significant variations in the number of days in each lunar month.
The solar month, on the other hand, is based on the position of the Earth in relation to the sun, and lasts for approximately 30.44 days. This means that there are roughly 12.17 solar months in a solar year. However, like the lunar month, the solar month does not align perfectly with the calendar year, so there can be variations in the number of days in each solar month as well.
Finally, there is the calendar month, which is the most commonly used method of measuring a month. The calendar month is based on the Gregorian calendar, which was introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. This calendar has 12 months, with each month containing either 28, 30, or 31 days.
So, why do some months have more Sundays than others? It all comes down to the number of days in the month and the way in which we define a "month". If a month has 31 days, it will always have at least four Sundays, while a month with only 28 days will never have more than four Sundays. However, variations in the lunar and solar months can also affect the number of Sundays in a given month.
In conclusion, the number of Sundays in a month is determined by a combination of factors, including the number of days in the month and the way in which we define a "month". While some months may seem to have more Sundays than others, this is simply a result of the natural variation in the length of each month. So next time you're wondering how many Sundays are in a particular month, just remember that it all depends on the calendar!
How to Plan Your Month Around the Number of Sundays
Have you ever wondered how many Sundays are in a month? It's a question that may seem trivial, but it can actually have a significant impact on your monthly planning. Knowing the number of Sundays in a month can help you plan your schedule, budget, and even your social life.
Firstly, let's answer the question: how many Sundays are in a month? The answer varies depending on the month. Some months have four Sundays, while others have five. February is the only month that can have either four or five Sundays, depending on whether it's a leap year or not.
Now that we know the answer, let's explore how this information can be useful. If you're someone who likes to plan ahead, knowing the number of Sundays in a month can help you create a schedule that maximizes your time. For example, if you have a project due at the end of the month, you'll want to make sure you have enough time to complete it. If there are only four Sundays in the month, you'll need to plan accordingly to ensure you have enough time to work on the project.
Similarly, if you have a busy social life, knowing the number of Sundays in a month can help you plan your weekends. If there are five Sundays in the month, you'll have an extra weekend to spend with friends and family. On the other hand, if there are only four Sundays, you may need to prioritize which events you attend.
Budgeting is another area where knowing the number of Sundays in a month can be helpful. If you get paid bi-weekly, you'll receive two paychecks in a four-Sunday month and three paychecks in a five-Sunday month. This can affect how you budget your money for the month. If you have more income in a five-Sunday month, you may be able to save more or splurge on something you've been wanting to buy.
In addition to personal planning, knowing the number of Sundays in a month can also be useful for businesses. For example, if you own a restaurant, you may want to adjust your menu or hours of operation based on the number of Sundays in a month. If there are five Sundays, you may want to offer a special brunch menu or extend your hours to accommodate more customers.
Overall, knowing how many Sundays are in a month may seem like a small detail, but it can have a big impact on your monthly planning. Whether you're scheduling work projects, planning social events, budgeting your money, or running a business, this information can help you make informed decisions that maximize your time and resources.
So, next time you're planning your month, take a moment to check how many Sundays there are. It may just help you create a more efficient and enjoyable month ahead.
Fun Facts About the History and Significance of Sundays in a Month
Sundays are a special day of the week for many people. It is a time to relax, spend time with family and friends, and reflect on the week that has passed. But have you ever wondered how many Sundays there are in a month? This question may seem simple, but the answer is not as straightforward as you might think.
The number of Sundays in a month depends on the length of the month and the day on which it starts. If a month begins on a Sunday, then there will be four Sundays in that month. However, if a month begins on any other day of the week, there will be either four or five Sundays in that month.
For example, let's take the month of August 2021. August begins on a Sunday, so there will be four Sundays in August. On the other hand, September 2021 begins on a Wednesday, so there will be five Sundays in September.
But why is Sunday such an important day of the week? For many cultures and religions, Sunday holds significant religious and cultural significance. In Christianity, Sunday is considered the Sabbath day, a day of rest and worship. The tradition of observing Sunday as the Sabbath day dates back to the early Christian church, where it was believed that God rested on the seventh day after creating the world.
In Hinduism, Sunday is associated with the sun god Surya. It is believed that worshipping Surya on Sundays can bring good health, wealth, and prosperity. Similarly, in astrology, Sunday is associated with the sun, which represents power, authority, and leadership.
Sunday is also a popular day for leisure activities and entertainment. Many people use Sundays to catch up on their favorite TV shows, go to the movies, or attend sporting events. In some countries, Sunday is a designated day off from work, allowing people to spend time with their families and pursue their hobbies and interests.
In conclusion, the number of Sundays in a month varies depending on the length of the month and the day on which it starts. While Sunday may seem like just another day of the week, it holds significant cultural and religious significance for many people around the world. Whether you spend your Sundays relaxing with family and friends or pursuing your passions, take a moment to appreciate the history and significance of this special day. | eng | 403c1979-5330-4ea6-8373-6a2148c4edbc | https://tech.joellemena.com/tech/how-many-sundays-in-a-month/ |
Spotlight on the 2016 Children's Media Yearbook: Animating the Holocaust
Share this:
In the first of a series of articles offering a glimpse inside the Children's Media Yearbook, this is Kath Shackleton's account of creating an animation for the BBC, focused on children's survival of the Holocaust.
The Yearbook is a comprehensive review of the trends, issues and news surrounding children's media over the last year, with contributions from leading academic researchers, content creators and distributors. Read the full Yearbook today by downloading a PDF copy for £7.95 or purchasing a paperback copy for £10.
The Holocaust. Genocide. Child refugees. Not the easiest of topics for animation and for a new studio as our first series.
Fettle Animation is a 2D animation production company in Pennine Yorkshire. We were given the task of making the Holocaust relevant to today's young people, and we relished taking on the challenge.
'Children of the Holocaust' is an animated series based on real-life stories. We animated six elderly holocaust survivors' memories of their dramatic escape as children from Nazi occupied Europe and the process of rebuilding their lives in the UK.
We worked with BBC Learning to produce the series. It was initially intended to be a learning resource aimed at 14 year-olds studying the Holocaust as part of the National Curriculum in schools, but it soon grew into something far bigger than we could have ever imagined. Clips are permanently online at
Animation is a great way of putting complex subjects across on screen. It can show abstract thoughts and emotions, tell stories for which there are no images, portray hopes, fears, dreams, aspirations and memories. It's a really condensed form of communication and can put across a lot of information in a short amount of time, telling difficult stories with wit and sensitivity.
We created 'Children of the Holocaust' with Leeds-based charity, The Holocaust Survivors Friendship Association, who are involved in widespread educational work. We recorded several hours of really moving interviews with six of their members and edited them into short clips.
A still from Children of the Holocaust
Fettle Animation's director, Zane Whittingham, designed simple digital cut-out characters to tell these stories, carefully researched from period photographs. We then worked to find age-appropriate ways to convey some of the brutality of the Nazis to our young audience without directly showing the full horror of what they did. We found powerful imagery in the political propaganda of World War Two: giant, brutish soldier figures picking up helpless, tiny people; animals symbolizing human behaviours; wartime insignia used as tools and weaponry. Zane referenced German Expressionist artists such as George Grosz, graphic novels such as Art Speigelman's Maus, and 1940s political cartoonists. This gave the project richness and a subtle humour and brought a fresh approach to a subject that people have encountered many times before.
We worked with Creative Skillset and their wonderful Trainee Finder programme, which gave us subsidised, bright young graduates to work on our production. They worked on animation, backgrounds and as production assistants. Our trainees were excellent and the Skillset support came at a perfect time for our company, helping us to scale up to the challenges of our first series. We all worked tirelessly and learned such a lot from one another during the process of production. Particularly successful were animator Ryan Jones, who now works permanently at Fettle Animation, and Oana Nechifor and Laura Tattersfield, who are now successful freelancers. Executive producer Helen Brunsdon helped us to plan out our animation production pipeline. Music was composed by The Composer Work's Paul Honey, who did an excellent job conveying the light and shade of the stories through music and gave added drama to our animations. Sound was by the Digital Audio Company's Dave Aston with online editing from Phil Bedwell at The Other Planet.
We also worked with executive producer Liz Molyneux and self-shooting director Tim Baxter to make short live-action interviews with the survivors reflecting on their lives today and why it is still important to talk about the Holocaust.
We got a great response from our first screenings of this work and realised how much interest there is around the world in the subject. We went on to create a TV documentary, combining the animated shorts and live-action interviews. This was broadcast on primetime BBC Four on Holocaust Memorial Day in 2015 and has been subsequently broadcast in ten countries worldwide including Australia, South Korea, China and Israel, thanks to our agent Sydney Neter from SND Films in Amsterdam.
We've had to all get new passports, as 'Children of the Holocaust' has also appeared at ten festivals around the world – a full run from Chicago to Annecy. We've had lots of travel adventures! We've also had to buy ourselves a trophy cabinet: we've won a Japan Prize, the first ever Sandford St Martin's Children's Award and two Royal Television Society Yorkshire Awards. We were also nominated for a Children's BAFTA, a British Animation Award and a BUFVC Learning Onscreen Award. We have really appreciated this recognition and the increased profile has been really helpful in building our company.
We were also one of the first companies to claim a UK animation tax break on this project. Thanks to the BFI and HMRC and all those involved in campaigning for this – it has made a huge difference to us as a small company and has given us the resources we needed to get our work out there.
We are now publishing a book, 'Survivors of the Holocaust', with Hachette Children's Books, a graphic novel based on the artwork from the films. It's so exciting to see our work in a different medium, and for our survivors to tell their stories to another new audience.
However, it's making a difference that matters most to us. We feel we've helped our survivors tell their stories to the wider world with power and dignity and to draw parallels between their experiences and the experiences of child refugees today. Young people can learn so much by watching the films, not just about a difficult period of history but also about why diversity and tolerance are so important today.
Here are the stories:
Ruth: Aged five, she escapes over the mountains from East Germany into Czechoslovakia. She is saved by the courage of her mother who travels perilously across Europe, arriving in England at the very last moment before war is declared.
Martin: Aged eight, he is marched brutally from Germany to Poland in the middle of the night by the Nazis in the so called "Polkenation". Escapes to England on the Kindertransport, only to experience the worst of the Blitz in Coventry.
Trude: Aged nine, she witnesses Nazi tanks occupying her hometown of Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. She is taken by her aunt to England but is lonely and struggles to settle there without her mother and father. As an adult, she is still searching for the truth about what happened to her parents in the concentration camps.
Heinz: Aged 13, his schooling and social life in Germany is affected by the rise of anti-Jewish laws. He gets caught up in the horrific events of Kristallnacht, a violent pogrom. He escapes to England, only to be interned by the UK government as an "enemy alien".
Arek: Aged 14, he survives the squalid conditions, hunger and cruelty of Auschwitz-Birkenau, but 81 members of his family and most of the Jewish population of his hometown in Poland are murdered. Forgiving the Nazis is impossible for him.
Suzanne: Aged six when the Nazis enter her parents flat. A neighbour rescues her and hides her under her kitchen table. Her idyllic Parisian childhood is snatched away from her and she is taken to live in hiding and work on an isolated rural farm. Neglected and forgotten, she is not rescued by the Red Cross until two years after the war.
The survivors in these films are incredible people who all have risen above their adversity. They have gone on to have families of their own and to achieve great academic success, stellar careers and positive involvement in their communities. They are all still active and healthy well into their 90s. They are warm, funny and have very distinctive personalities. They are generous with their time and all have enjoyed working with us on this project. They are our constant Inspiration. We'd like to thank everyone who has been involved in this project – there are far too many to list. They have shown dedication above and beyond the usual call of duty. We'd like to pay particular tribute to our commissioner on this project, the BBC's Katy Jones, who died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2015. Her energy and faith drove us forward on this project. She is very much missed. We are so proud of the impact that this project continues to have. Thank you again to everyone who has been part of our incredible journey! What an awesome year!

How to Manage the Emotions of Trading.
How to Manage the Emotions of Trading.
Managing the emotions of trading is one of the most challenging areas in the new trader's task list. For those who have not yet dabbled in the volatile world of currency trading, they are likely unaware of what it takes to stay calm and collected while trading. It takes more than just one strategy to successfully trade here, because emotions often get in the way. You can't afford to be caught off guard by
your emotions, which means you need the best forex trading strategies to keep emotions at bay.
Learning how to manage the emotions of trading is the first step in becoming an effective and profitable trader. Traders who can successfully keep their cool during times of stress and anxiety generally fare better in the long run. They are less prone to emotional breakdowns and tend to be more successful overall.
The stock market is no different, and being able to effectively manage your emotions is part of the new trader's package. Your trading experience will improve dramatically, and you'll be making more money in no time. So what exactly is the formula for handling stock market emotions? The answer is simple, find a solid trading system that uses trading signals to trade stocks. Any good training program will teach you how to do this, and provide you with a demo account so that you practice until you build up some real money.
Using an online trading account, allows you to set up a dummy account, or to use a dummy stock. This allows you to practice your skills in hypothetical market conditions, allowing you to get used to how things work before risking real money. You will find that signal based stock markets are not all that different from regular stock markets, as you should still be following the basic rules of buying and selling stocks when the signal to do so is obvious. The difference lies in the fact that the signal will often come from a real person or an automated system, both of which you need to know about if you want to successfully handle your emotions.
The first step towards successfully handling the emotions of trading is to keep your emotions under control. Emotions are terrible at deciding what to buy or sell but are incredibly effective at determining when to sell. Use the research provided by a good online training program to find a solid indicator that you can follow. Once you've got your indicator, use it to find solid stocks based on the information it provides. Make sure to take the time to thoroughly learn about each indicator, including how to interpret it. If you don't have time to devote to learning how to do this, try outsourcing your stock market information collection duties, which will save you time and energy.
Once you feel confident enough to start trading in real-world market conditions, remember to always have a stop loss amount set to reduce your risk, and to never invest more money than you can afford to lose. If you don't have enough money to trade for a while, start up with small amounts and make quick money. Never use leverage; instead use just a tiny fraction of your available capital to do trades. You should also never use automatic Forex trading programs, as they're designed only to take advantage of people who don't have the patience or experience to effectively trade on their own.
When emotions get out of hand and begin to cloud your judgment, it's important to take time to gather as much stock market information as possible. You should never rely solely on automated software to make financial decisions, so if you're not feeling too confident about doing your own market research, consider outsourcing it to a professional. Even if you choose to handle the information yourself, it's important to remember to check it several times before making a trading decision, as human emotions can make mistakes. An automated software program can be an incredible tool to help you get a leg up on the competition, but it's important to make sure that you're not putting your entire life on the line every time you make a move.
Remember: There is no reason to be emotional about investing. In fact, emotions can actually be quite harmful to your potential for profit in the stock market. You'll rarely make a huge, unexpected buy or sell, so instead of drawing your emotions from the prospect of making money, focus on the information and data that will affect your buying and selling decisions. Also, if you have an automatic Forex trading system that you trust, don't hesitate to use it as often as you need to make positive decisions regarding the markets. With proper information analysis, you'll be able to make smart decisions that will increase your chances for overall success, not limit them. | eng | d78a9bee-d839-4a1e-ad75-375a66abc02d | https://corsoinvestigaciones.com/forex-news/how-to-manage-the-emotions-of-trading/ |

What is the matching principle?
What is the matching principle?
What is the matching principle? The matching principle says that a square of its own shape can be matched to any square of its shape and vice versa. What is the key to the matching principle to match a square of the same size as that square of its original shape? By matching the square of the original shape to any square, an object of the square can be matched. For example, if you have a square of 25×25, you can be matched by adding 2 squares of 24×24 to the original shape. The key to the match principle is to get the matching pattern from the matching pattern of the original square to the matching pattern. For example: The pattern of the match will be the pattern of the matching pattern, Similarly, you can match any square of the matching square to any square that you have an original pattern of. Here is your pattern: So, what is the matching pattern to match a piece of the original pattern, given the original square of the square you have an object of? What is the match pattern to match the matching pattern? How to match a pattern of a square to a square of a square? To match a square, you simply match the square of a matching square to your original square of a pattern of the square. If you want to match a matching pattern of your original pattern to a matching pattern, you can use the matching pattern using the matching pattern and the matching pattern for your original square. In this chapter, we have outlined how to match a single object of a square of shape: This is the matching program. You can use it to match a specific square of shape. In this program, you can find a square of all shapes and have the square matched to a specific shape. You can also use it to find a matching pattern for the square of your original shape. In the program, you have to be careful, because this program is very complicated. How do I match a square to its original shape without using the matching program? Suppose you are looking for a square of 3×3. In this case, you have the matching pattern you want to find. Supposing that you had a square of 1×1, you would have to find a square that is a matching pattern. For example, if your square is 25×25 and you wanted to find a match for it, you would get 25×25. In this program, the square of one of the original shapes will find matched. To find a match, you would use the following program: // Find the matching pattern // Match the pattern of square of original shape // If your square is the matching square, you want to know that // the matching pattern is the pattern of matching square of original // A match can be found if the squareWhat is the matching principle? There are many types of matching algorithms in digital photography, such as pixel matching, coda matching and matching, but there is one common one: 1. Matching in a single image. The matching principle is applied to video as well as audio and television images, and many approaches have been developed to improve and extend it beyond the idea of pixel matching or coda matching.
Online Class Tutors
As a result, many computer programs and algorithms have been developed that can match images to a specific image, but not to another one. 2. Matching between pairs of images. This principle is applied in many ways: a. A single image, or block of images, is matched to a series of images. Each image is represented by a block of pixels common to the block's pixels, and with the same color (i.e. RGB), in which each pixel is the same color. b. A group of images is matched to multiple blocks of images. This is performed by choosing a set of pixels and matching them together, and then selecting a set of blocks of pixels common in the groups of images. The matching principle is used to combine images into one image. As a result, the three kinds of images match each other: A group of images, or blocks, is matched by selecting a set, called a set of images, common to the groups of the images. A block of images is selected from a set of groups of images, and the blocks of the images are matched together to form a block of images. A set of blocks is then combined to form a set of sets of images, with each set being matched to the set of blocks. There is a particularly attractive approach to this principle in digital photography: the matching principle can be applied to a digital image. This is because the images are represented by a set of four independent blocks in the digital image, and it is the image that is to be matched. 3. Matching of blocks. A pair of images is used to create a block of blocks.
Online Class Help Customer Service
The blocks are chosen randomly from each block of images by using a set of random numbers (usually 1–10) and the random number's center-to-center point is chosen randomly from the set of random points on the block of images (for example, 10–10.25). The random numbers are chosen from the set with the center-to–center point randomly chosen from the random number. 4. Matching the center-point: The center-to‐center point is the center of the image (normally centered on the image) that is to match to the center of one of the blocks. The center-to‑center point is also a point on the image where click here for more center-witness is the center-of-the-picture, which is in the center of a block of four images. TheWhat is the matching principle? The matching principle is the principle that every person can be matched with the same person in the same way. This principle is a common principle in sociology, psychology, and political science. It is a principle that is used in many fields of society and sociology. Why? People often try to match people with things. Some people get matched with someone else while others get matched with other people. A match is found when two people are matched to the same person. There are several reasons for doing this. The first is to give you a way to match people that you can. The second is to give people a way to select and match something that they think is fitting.

Why are my bonsai leaves turning yellow?
Why are my bonsai leaves turning yellow?
Bonsai leaves turn yellow if the tree is deciduous. This is the same as any full-sized tree in the autumn. If it is not autumn or it is an evergreen, yellow Bonsai leaves could be related to a care issue. It can be related to nutrition deficiencies, overwatering, cold air, trimming, or stress.
Why are the leaves of my plant turning yellow?
Poor drainage or improper watering Water issues — either too much or too little — are the leading reason behind yellow leaves. In overly wet soil, roots can't breathe. They suffocate, shut down and stop delivering the water and nutrients plants need. Underwatering, or drought, has a similar effect.
What kinds of trees can I turn into bonsai?
Japanese Maple
Bodhi tree (Ficus Religiosa)
Cotoneaster horizontalis
Baobab
Common Beech (Fagus sylvatica)
Boxwood
Pomegranate
Juniper
Ficus Retusa
Ficus Benjamina
Why is the bonsai tree turning brown?
Bonsai trees need proper nutrients to grow and develop healthily. Nutrient deficiency may turn the leaves of a bonsai tree brown due to a lack of iron, nitrogen, or magnesium. Like any other plants, bonsai trees also need fertilizer, including nitrogen, phosphorus as well as potassium.
Do Ficus bonsai trees lose their leaves?
Indoor Ficus Ginseng bonsai are usually affected by poor light access that leads to the loss of leaves. Outdoor Ficus bonsai rarely get affected by poor light since they are generally placed in ideal locations. To stop your indoor Ficus bonsai from dropping leaves, you need to transfer it to a different location with proper sunlight.

Instagram, in particular, has emerged as a powerful tool for businesses––including manufacturers—to reach their target audience and grow their business.
With over 1 billion monthly active users, having an Instagram strategy for manufacturers will provide a unique opportunity to showcase their products, engage with their customers, and increase brand awareness.
As a visual-first platform, Instagram allows manufacturers to showcase their products through visually appealing images and videos, creating an emotional connection with their audience. By leveraging Instagram's features, manufacturers can create engaging content, build a loyal following, and drive sales.
However, Instagram is not the only social media platform that manufacturers should consider. Facebook, which owns Instagram, offers a suite of advertising tools that manufacturers can use to expand their reach and target specific audiences. By using Facebook and Instagram together, manufacturers can create a cohesive marketing strategy that allows them to reach a larger audience and maximize their marketing efforts.
In this blog post, we will explore tips and how to form an Instagram strategy for manufacturers and use Instagram's paid and organic strategies to generate leads and grow your manufacturing business. Whether you're just getting started with Instagram marketing or looking to take your strategy to the next level, this post will provide you with actionable insights to help you succeed on this powerful platform.
Understanding Instagram Vocabulary
What is the vocab that you need to know about Instagram before you get involved?
Before diving into making an Instagram strategy for manufacturers, it's important to familiarize yourself with some of the platform's key vocabulary.
One such term is "hashtag," which refers to a keyword or phrase preceded by the "#" symbol that is used to categorize and discover content on Instagram.
Hashtags can also help manufacturers reach a wider audience and connect with users who are interested in similar topics.
The "feed" is the stream of photos and videos that appears on a user's Instagram home screen.
It is the main content section of the app, where users can browse and view photos and videos posted by accounts they follow.
It's a curated collection of visual content that appears in chronological order, with the most recent posts appearing at the top.
The feed is an essential part of Instagram and is used by individuals and businesses alike to showcase their content and engage with their audience. Instagram's algorithm determines the order in which posts appear in the feed, taking into account factors such as engagement, relevance, and timeliness.
Users can also interact with posts in the feed by liking, commenting, or sharing them, which helps increase engagement and exposure for the content.
A "story" is a photo or video that disappears after 24 hours and is used to share more casual, in-the-moment content.
These short-lived posts offer a more casual and in-the-moment approach to sharing content, making them a great tool for brands and individuals to showcase behind-the-scenes glimpses, share real-time updates, and engage with their audience.
Instagram Stories also offer a variety of interactive features, such as polls, quizzes, and questions, that can help increase engagement and drive user participation.
With their prominent placement at the top of the Instagram app, Stories have become an essential part of many brands' social media strategies.
"Reels" are a short-form video feature on Instagram, similar to TikTok.
Instagram Reels is a feature on Instagram that allows users to create short, entertaining videos with music, filters, and special effects.
With Reels, users can create videos that are up to 60 seconds long and share them with their followers and the wider Instagram community.
Reels offer a new way for users to express themselves, share their creativity, and connect with others through video content.
The feature has become increasingly popular on Instagram, and many businesses and influencers are using Reels as a way to promote their products and services, showcase their talents, and reach new audiences. Other features include:
The "explore page" is a section of Instagram that suggests photos, videos, and accounts based on a user's interests and activity on the platform.
A "direct message" (DM) is a private message sent between Instagram users.
"User-generated content" (UGC) refers to content created by users, rather than the brand or business itself.
User-generated content (UGC) is a powerful tool for brands on Instagram. This refers to any content created by users or customers of a brand, such as photos or videos, that the brand can then repost or feature on its own page.
UGC can help increase brand awareness, engagement, and loyalty, as it shows that customers are genuinely using and enjoying the brand's products or services.
Brands can encourage UGC by creating hashtags, running contests, or simply asking their followers to share their experiences. It's important to give credit to the original creators and ask for permission before reposting, as this can help build trust and credibility with followers.
Overall, UGC is a valuable and authentic way for brands to connect with their audience on Instagram. Some more key vocabulary to know:
A "follower" is a user who subscribes to an Instagram account and sees its content in their feed, while "engagement" refers to the level of interaction a post receives, including likes, comments, shares, and saves.
The "algorithm" is the system used by Instagram to determine which posts appear on a user's feed and explore page, based on a variety of factors such as engagement and relevance.
Speaking of "engagement", it refers to the level of interaction your content receives, including likes, comments, shares, and saves.
The more engagement your content has, the more likely it is to be seen by a wider audience. Therefore, it's important to create engaging content that resonates with your audience and encourages them to interact with your posts.
For manufacturing businesses and brands, knowing Instagram vocabulary is particularly important for creating effective social media strategies and campaigns.
Understanding Instagram vocabulary is crucial for effectively navigating the platform and engaging with the community. It allows users to communicate with each other and understand the different features and functions of the app.
Using Instagram vocabulary in captions and hashtags can help increase visibility and engagement on posts.

The manufacturer's website link should be included in the bio to drive traffic to their website.
Once the profile is set up, manufacturers should focus on creating engaging content that resonates with their target audience. This could include product photos and videos, customer stories, behind-the-scenes footage, and more.
It's important to create a consistent posting frequency so followers know when to expect new posts from the manufacturer.
Instagram is a powerful platform for manufacturers to reach their target audience and promote their products. However, simply setting up a profile isn't enough; manufacturers need to have a well-defined strategy in order to maximize the impact of their presence on the platform.

Beyond simply posting frequently, it is also important for manufacturers to consider when they are posting and the types of content they are sharing.
The best times for manufacturers to post on Instagram are usually during peak usage hours, which range from Monday through Thursday between 7am and 10pm, as well as Saturday and Sunday between 9am and 10pm

Paid Instagram Strategies
Paid Instagram strategies refer to the use of Instagram's advertising platform to reach a larger audience and promote a manufacturer's products or services.
Instagram Ads allow manufacturers to target specific demographics, interests, behaviors, and locations, making it a highly effective way to reach potential customers who are most likely to be interested in their products.
Instagram Ads offer a variety of ad formats, including photo ads, video ads, carousel ads, and Stories ads. Each format has its own unique features, allowing manufacturers to choose the format that best fits their marketing goals and target audience. For example, carousel ads can showcase multiple products, while Stories ads can provide a more immersive and engaging experience for viewers.

Rhino crushes Salzburg zookeeper to death
VIENNA (Reuters) - A rhinoceros crushed one zookeeper to death and injured another at Salzburg's zoo on the outskirts of the Austrian city on Tuesday, zoo officials said.
The incident happened during the morning rounds in which the animals are fed and treated with insect repellent, Salzburg Hellbrunn Zoo director Sabine Grebner told a news conference.
"We do not know exactly how it happened," Grebner said, adding that the female zookeeper who was killed had suffered chest injuries. The injured male zookeeper was rushed to hospital but his life is not in danger.
The female zookeeper, a German from the state of Bavaria, was very experienced and specialised in rhinos, while the male colleague was in charge of animal feed. The declared time of death was 7:04 a.m. (0504 GMT).
The rhino involved was a female called Yeti, Grebner said, adding that all the rhinos at the zoo have been there a long time and are cooperative with their keepers. | eng | 8c69b27e-0513-456c-908b-6f7b30378efd | https://au.sports.yahoo.com/rhino-crushes-salzburg-zookeeper-death-093639006.html |

Beside the name of the colour, sometimes you need to know the shade, too. The names of shades can be made by adding certain adjectives to the base colour. For example bright, dark, light, etc. They will allow defining the saturation of the colour of the described phenomenon or object. Here are the words that will help you to more accurately define the desired colour:
After you have learned the names of all the colours in Russian, for better memorization and further training you can try to name familiar subjects in Russian, adding the name of the colour to them. For example красный ковер, белый стол, синий стул, темно-оранжевый блокнот, фиолетовая ручка.

Why is Shaq Covered in Leaves in the Adirondacks
Shaquille O'Neal ran through the Adirondacks with Bear Grylls. The NBA legend fell during a hike, ate a placenta for dinner and was buried in leaves.
While on the Adirondack Scenic Railroad to meet Bear, Shaq does a Tarzan yell to let the animals know he's coming. While making camp, he hides from the animals under a pile of leaves. "I've never sat in a bunch of leaves before. I feel like a big Christmas tree right now," Shaq says as Bear covers him up. "I want no one or nothing to see me. Not a coyote. Not a moose. Not a bear. Not even another leaf."

It's a simple hot key definition. Click on a blank area of the desktop (so the focus is the desktop). Hit F1. Help screen will pop up. Type "hot key" in the search box, hit return. Read the directions what apply to your situation.
Linux has similar functionality but details will depend on whether you're running KDE, Gnome, or something else.

(The strange "red dot" notation is one of my "parts" gimmicks that forces parameter declarations into the netlist rather than the .CIR file, helping me automate complex subcircuits... this example is part of the subcircuit module that models excess phase in OpAmps.
Some may wonder at PIE=.... That's because many simulators balk at double declaration of a parameter... some of you will have a system parameter PI declared and some will not, so I dodge the possible conflict.) ...Jim Thompson
My keyboard is both bland and old enough to drink! The ones that have all the extra buttons for "start browser" or "start media player" sometimes have their own drivers.
I have a USB 3G modem that does this. It has a little bit of flash storage with the driver install package on it. Brand new out of the box, you plug it into your PC and it tells the OS "I'm a CD-ROM!" The OS dutifully finds the autorun.inf (in the flash) and executes it, which installs the modem driver. The first thing the modem driver does is to look for a USB "CD-ROM" drive with a certain vendor and product ID, and if it's there, it sends a magic byte sequence to the "CD-ROM". This causes the modem to drop the USB connection briefly, and then reconnect, this time saying "I'm a modem!" The OS then goes through the "I have a new modem" routine, and uses the drivers that were just installed. I think it's kind of slick, but it will get outdated over time as newer drivers and newer OSes come out.
Once I had a Casio programmable that crashed badly in response to a few functions. A couple of other calculators did funny things like incrementing all digits (1111111111...2222222222...etc) if you turned it off and on rapidly. | eng | 165142fe-1a53-4188-8ce0-1e0a4343f5ea | https://www.electrondepot.com/electrodesign/political-rant-781027-.htm |

Taste and See: the generous giver
The first reading at Mass on Sunday, the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary time, came from Israel's Wisdom tradition. That tradition reflects on the business of human living. Those writings – for example Wisdom, Proverbs, Ecclesiasticus… – contain some passages that sometimes seem indistinguishable from a down-to-earth sort of good advice. Yet it comes from the practice of pondering on the ways of God as well as the ways of men. And sometimes, as in the passage this week, the two run into the other. We are urged to act in a particular way not just because it is a good way to be human, but because it is a way close to the Lord's own heart.
My son, be gentle in carrying out your business, and you will be better loved than a lavish giver.
The greater you are, the more you should behave humbly, and then you will find favour with the Lord; for great though the power of the Lord is, he accepts the homage of the humble.
There is no cure for the proud man's malady, since an evil growth has taken root in him. The heart of a sensible man will reflect on parables, an attentive ear is the sage's dream. | eng | 72525ecc-ae85-4756-9e47-d3acaf1e347f | https://livingeucharist.wordpress.com/2016/08/31/taste-and-see-the-generous-giver/ |

When profiling or debugging, it is normally necessary to pass -g or other flags to cause the compiler to emit debugging symbols. CMake uses a build type to control the compiler flags used for optimization and debugging. The CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE variable is used to set the build type.
Currently the following build types are supported by the JEDI ecbuild bundles:
The LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,now flag is recommended when debugging or profiling. From man ld, the -znow option had the following effect:
When generating an executable or shared library, mark it to tell the dynamic linker to resolve all symbols when the program is started, or when the shared library is linked to using dlopen, instead of deferring function call resolution to the point when the function is first called.
Allowing the default behavior of -zlazy can confuse debuggers and performance profilers, as symbol resolution and dynamic library loading will occur during debugging. | eng | da0311cf-bc9e-4cd0-9609-c73b14f9ec78 | https://jointcenterforsatellitedataassimilation-jedi-docs.readthedocs-hosted.com/en/latest/inside/developer_tools/debuggers.html |

What Does Your Forecast Look Like?
When you want to start up a conversation with someone new, there are several commonly used topics. Given the polarization today, the topic of politics may produce far too many "F" sharps than most of us are comfortable with in polite conversation. So "How 's the weather?" works. Typical responses you get the basic, "nice", "sunny", "rainy", or if you are from my area, "snowy". But those are not really the responses you are searching for if you want to keep the conversation going. You want some input.
What can I expect if I visit? What is the forecast and how accurate is the projection being provided? Is it from a barometer in your home, dropping as a storm approaches or is it based on national measurements, updated hourly as the storm approaches? If you say it is going to be sunny, I may start planning for a day off because I have not seen the sun in sooo long. But I don't want to waste a vacation day. If it is going to rain, I want to find that umbrella hidden in the back of the closet, needlessly carried all day if it does not.
If I am having the conversation with you, I may fall back on the old tried and true, "How 's your business going?" If your answers are "Good", "Holding our own", "Doing ok considering the market", my curious nature wants to know more. I live in Buffalo. If something is coming, I want to know more. It is good compared to what? As in the weather conversation, how can planning be done with such ambiguous answers? What are you basing that on? What are you monitoring, forecasting with and how often are they checked?
The buzz a few years back was to create a data warehouse. A place to store all things happening in your company so that information could be used for metrics or trending. But like a true brick and mortar building, what it contains is only what you control, what you already know. What happened in the past? It does not give you any clue what the climate is outside. It is also very rigid. It needed to be more fluid. A place that would be fed by multiple streams. Like a lake…yes a Data Lake. Now you can start determining what external winds are blowing, causing the ebb and flow of your business. That is if you include the data streams truly affecting your business and understand how they are. Assuming you get this 100% correct. You know why your business is "good", now what? What if the answers require change? You have a forecast. What's your plan?
It is common knowledge a business should have a five year plan. Most do, but that plan is not something you can frame and mount on the wall. It is a rolling 1,825 days. Five years from today will be different than five years from yesterday or tomorrow. Creating a five year plan is a mile stone, not a finish line. It is a never ending series of next step mile stones which are constantly set and changed. Waiting for an annual meeting for review and adjustments would be like waiting for an employee's annual review to bring all the year's actions up for correction. You would have missed improvement opportunities to both. How do you determine what new influencers are in play and compensations need to be put in place? You are building a forecast. What's your plan to keep it updated?
You don't need to be a multi-national company to experience work silos. Once a business grows to more than one person, responsibilities are divided. You work in your area, making improvements, setting goals, setting up work flows, all based on what you are experiencing in your part of the business. Your data warehouse. How are other streams of information from others with different responsibilities being collected and incorporated into your decision making? Do you have regular S and OP (Sales and Operations) meetings? Expose people to others with different perspectives and opinions. Knowledge is power, lack of it is ignorance. If the weather is changing, does everyone know the forecast? What's your plan?
As a business consultant, I don't have the luxury of spending months or years with the people I am consulting. Starting subtle conversations like above and digging into their answers is my method. I have to be able to read a room within minutes to determine who the influences are, who does not want me there because my visit could mean change, what is the best way to convey the idea in my head to theirs. I want to help them know the forecast coming and plan accordingly. It's not really a skill, it's not being burdened by years of small changes, influencing an opinion of "that's just who they are". Who they are today is the only thing we have to work with helping them develop into tomorrow. How they work today is how the business is run. How can what I say help them understand what the forecast for their roles looks like. How can they take advantage of the sunny days or plan for rougher weather. What changes have taken place over the years to your business making it "what it is"? Can you see it for the potential it could be?
Take it from a Buffalonian: snow in the forecast is never as welcome as sun. But not actioning a plan to deal with that forecast will make it much less pleasant. We're here to help, no matter the forecast. | eng | 241a9f94-f2a7-48b8-9a64-69908cebfaae | https://nsacom.com/blog/what-does-your-forecast-look-like/ |

oultry and poultry products constitutes an important component of human diet in most of the countries of the world. This consumption is also increasing at a rapid rate due to low fat content, easy availability & cost effectiveness. The poultry industry has evolved into a streamlined system of industrial mass production. Poultry is an important farm species in almost all countries. It is an important source of animal protein.
Poultry is the least cost alternative only next to fish & produces more of animal protein from the same amount of feed compared to milch cow, sheep, Goat & Pig. Two eggs provide 160 calories of energy and more than 20% of the daily requirement of proteins, Vit A, D & B12, Riboflabin, folic acid, Panthothenic acid, Phosphorus, Iodine along with fat. Poultry farming require less area with high return than any other animal husbandry and agriculture activities. Poultry farming involves high grade sophisticated technology with higher profitability for which younger generation prefer this activity as their occupation than any other agriculture & allied activities.
• By breeding new birds are produced.
• In poultry farm broilers and layers are grown up, which are used for meat purpose and layers for production of egg purpose.
• Eggs are used for breeding of new birds or it is used for the domestic eating purpose or commercial processing purpose.
• Broilers are used for meat processing industry.
The poultry meat and egg production over many decades have shown positive growth in the overall performances of the livestock sector. Poultry farming business is one of the most promising sources of additional income. Besides, this poultry and broiler farming has a number of advantages:
• It produces much needed protein, food, it serves as a source of income and employment to many and it has good returns.
• Most breeders rear broilers to be ready for sale during festivals when demand of profit is high. A layer of mature age generally lays 250 300 eggs. These eggs provide high quality protein to the house hold.
• In addition to eggs and meat poultry provide manure that is of great value on the farm. It has been observed that nearly 40 hens or deep litter yields about 1000 kg of manure per year.
Poultry industry has made tremendous progress through improvement in genetics, management and nutrition, for obtaining maximum growth in broilers and egg production in layers. However still due to one reason or the other, the farmers in the field are not able to achieve the optimum level of growth in broilers and egg production in layers, as per hatchery norms.
The plastic industry in India plays a very important and key role in Industrializations. A wide spectrum of plastics and articles manufactured by the industry has touched the life of every Indian in many ways through consumer plastics. The disposable plastic cups are manufactured by thermoforming technique. They are fast replacing conventional cups. Ice cream and other dairy products are packed in disposable cups. Besides Ice cream industry, hotels, restaurants, canteens etc. have been increasingly using disposable cups as against conventional glass wares or ceramic cups. Disposable cups are mainly used for food items and are made out of polypropylene or polystyrene sheets. Sheets having thickness 0.35 mm to 18 mm are used for these items in thermoforming machine. The disposable cups are gaining popularity due to attractive look, low weight for container, ease of transportation and low impermeability. Organizations like Railways, Airlines are using disposable cups for serving coffee, tea etc. now a days.

It is hard to find a place where one will not get to see these cups. A person goes for a jog, works out and after he/she is done with the daily exercise routine, the first thing they reach out for is a Disposable Plastic Drinking Cup for a sip of water. Pointing on disposable items is also quite easy and cheaper. The technology and machines are available in India and the cost is also less. This makes the disposable items more competitive and helps in increasing its marketActivated Carbon is a unique material because of the way it is filled with holes (voids, spaces, sites, pores,) whatever the size of molecules. It is that, although they are spaces of zero electron density, these pores possess intense vander wall forces (from the near proximity of carbon atoms).
Activated carbon is a non graph basedUses and Application
A wide variety of activated carbon products are available exhibiting markedly different characteristics depending upon the raw material and activation of technique used in their production. In selecting the activated carbon it is important to have a clear understanding of both the adsorptive and physical characteristics of the material in order to optimize the performance capabilities.
Activated Carbon of three grades namely powder, granular and pelletlized finds hundreds of different applications. By chemical activation, predominantly powder activated carbons are made and these qualities are mostly used for wastewater treatment. Granular products and pellets used for gas purification are predominantly made by gas steam activation. To cite some examples from the numerous applications: decolorization of sugar and sweeteners, drinking water treatment, gold recovery, production of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals, catalytic process, off gas treatment of waste incinerators, automotive vapor filters, color/odor correction in wines and fruit juices.
Market Survey
The global activated carbon market was worth $1.8 billion in 2011 and is estimated to reach $3 billion by 2016, growing at a CAGR of 11.1% from 2011 to 2016. The powdered and granular activated carbon segments are the key revenue generators for the activated carbon market.
The demand for activated carbon (AC) is expected to grow due to the new demand in mercury control technology for industrial air purification applications.
Paper is one of the necessities of civilization and it is almost impossible to imagine the continuance of a world without the printed books and newspapers. People require paper to meet the basic needs of modern life because it has many diverse uses. Modern paper is made from cellulose derived from a limited numbers of plants, the fibres being mixed with sufficient water to render possible the formation of a continuous sheet of wells of paper of uniform thickness. The invention of this method of paper making is attributed to the Chinese about 80 to 150 B.C. Cellulose is the substance of which the permanent cell membranes of plants are composed and it forms the bulk of the tissues of wood and similar plant structures. In most cases the presence of colouring matter and various waxy and resinous substances taken up by the growing plant render the cellulose impure, and it is desirable that as far as possible all impurities should be removed before the fibres are made into paper. Vegetable fibres of all kinds may be converted into paper among the various types of paper serving different end uses Tissue and Air mail paper are required for very specific purposes. France is recognized to be the largest producer of tissues of various grades in Europe, thus becoming a major exporter of this commodity.
Facial and tide tissue papers fall in the category of (Light weight sanitary tissue: and comprise of items viz. facial tissue sanitary tissue, table howkins and toweling paper such varieties of papers are normally un sized and manufactured in soft, loosely felted conditions it as to obtain maximum absorbency in order to enables them to take up water quickly and bold it after absorption.
Uses and Applications
Tissue paper is often used for direct inside part wrapping as in the jewellery, liquor, fruit and florist trades, various other tissue papers are used for specific purposes.
Paper napkin is used in all hotels and restaurants, It is used by human being as a substitute of handkerchief, In homes at the time of dinner, lunch or breakfast it is extensively used, Paper napkin is a costlier affair and cannot be afforded by all categories of persons. Therefore, high or medium class family uses it and Special quality Tissue paper is used for cigarette manufacture.
Napkins are manufactured from Tissues. Paper Napkin age becoming poplar with catering Industry due to its manifold uses. These are absorbent, hygienic light and can be had with attractive printing. Facial Tissue paper though recently introduced in Indian market is fast becoming popular with the public. Tissue paper for capacitors is used extensively by electrical and electronic Industry. In electronic industry paper capacitors are used in circuits for blocking, buffering.
Market Survey
Indian paper and newsprint industry has a huge potentials and prospects in coming future. In our, country, demand for paper and newspaper is rapidly increasing. There are vast demands in the area of tea bags, filer paper, tissue paper, medical grade coated paper, lightweight online coated paper, etc. Indian paper industry is one of the underestimated industries, because India's per capita consumption of paper is just about 5 kg. where as it is 337 kg in North America, 110 kg. in Europe and 30 kg. in China. Compare to this scenario India's per capita consumption is one of the lowest in the World.
The Indian tissue paper market is at an inflexion point and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 20% in the next 3 to 5 years, with the organized segment growing even faster. This growth will be driven by increasing hygiene awareness, disposable income and deeper penetration of organized retail.
In urban India tissue paper is trying to ease out the handkerchief, creating a niche in dispensers in washrooms and looking towards the kitchen. For e.g. Premier is now looking to innovate for hairstyling salons while Origami is innovating for kitchen wipes and party usage.
With the economy growing, demand for higher grade tissue will increase, and, as a result, a shortage could occur in the next five years. The market for consumer paper, including toilet tissue, napkin tissue and facial tissue, has great diversity in design, type, brands and original source. World average per capita consumption of tissue paper is 3.4 kg. The differences between regions are huge. Per capita consumption levels are highest in North America (22 kg), Western Europe (13 kg) and Japan (over 13 kg). In China, other Asia and Africa, the consumption levels are 2 kg.

Orient Paper & Inds. Ltd.
Pamwi Tissues Ltd.
Premier Tissues India Ltd.
Pudumjee Hygiene Products Ltd.
Tainwala Healthcare Products Pvt. Ltd.
Cost Estimation
Capacity : Paper Napkin: 46980 Packs/day
Tissue Paper 46980/ day
Handkerchief 31320/ day
Toilet Rolls 6400 Nos./ day
Kitchen Rolls 6400 Nos./day to to beverage can is a metal container designed to hold a fixed portion of liquid such as a carbonated soft drink, alcoholic beverage, fruit juice, herbal tea etc. Beverage cans are made of aluminium (75% of worldwide production) or tin plated steel (25% worldwide production). Worldwide production for all beverage cans is approximately 52 billion units.
Aluminium recycling is the process by which scrap aluminium can be reused in products after its initial production. The process involves simply re melting the metal, which is far less expensive and energy intensive than creating new aluminium through the electrolysis of aluminium oxide (Al2O3), which must first be mined from bauxite ore and then refined using the Bayer process. Recycling scrap aluminium requires only 5% of the energy used to make new aluminium. For this reason, approximately 31% of all aluminium produced in the United States comes from recycled scrap. Used beverage containers are the largest component of processed aluminium scrap, with most UBC scrap manufactured back into aluminium cans.
Ingot and billet play an integral part in the production of many aluminium products. Plate, sheet, foil, wire, rod, and bar products are all produced by pressing or rolling ingot and billet.
Ingot and billet are cast from molten aluminium. In the cast house, crucibles of molten aluminium empty their silvery liquid either directly into molds or into a holding furnace where the metal is kept molten at temperatures between 1,200 and 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Alloying elements are then added.
Most metal is cast by the direct chill (DC) process, which produces huge sheet ingot for rolling mills, round log like billet for extrusion presses, or square billet for production of wire, rod, and bar.
Advantages
The recycling of aluminium generally produces significant cost savings over the production of new aluminium even when the cost of collection, separation and recycling are taken into account Over the long term, even larger national savings are made when the reduction in the capital costs associated with landfills, mines and international shipping of raw aluminium are considered.
Aluminium recycling is economically beneficial to both the aluminium and recycling industry. The capital cost for the production of recycled aluminium is already recognized to be far lower than making new aluminium. The financial benefit has also spurred the development of the recycling program.
The price of scrap aluminium has fluctuated in the market but its traditionally high value has generated enough income. Aluminium cans are the poster child of the recycling movement. This is by far the most valuable component in the solid waste stream. The aluminium can is also the most recognized recyclable item among household waste.
The aluminium beverage can is 100 percent recyclable into new beverage cans indefinitely demonstrating recycling at its finest. Aluminium can recycling helps fund the entire collection system. The aluminium can is the only packaging material that more than covers the cost of collection and re processing for itself. It also helps subsidize the collection of other recyclable materials.
Market Survey
The worldwide capacity to produce alumina was placed at around 80 mn tonnes in 2007 and was slated to touch 100 mn tonnes in 2010. Alumina accounts for about 22% of the cost in the production of aluminium.
India's share in world aluminium market is estimated at around 3%. India ranks fifth in bauxite production after Australia (62 mn tonnes), Guinea (17.50 mn tonnes), Brazil (16.20 mn tonnes) and China (10.75 mn tonnes). With a total output of 9.25 mn tonnes, the country contributes about 6% of the world's total production of 159 mn tonnes, India holds the fifth position in reserves base and is ahead of China with 2300 mn tonnes. India ranked seventh in alumina production with a total output of 3 mn tonnes, a share of nearly 5% of the global production of 61 mn tonnes.
However, internationally, the pattern of consumption is in favour of transportation, primarily due to large scale aluminium consumption by the aviation industry. White goods account for nearly 5% of aluminium consumption in the country. The products include electric fans, air conditioners, refrigerators and coolers. The white goods industry uses both extruded products and flats.
In the transportation sector, aluminium is used for panelling, floors and windows. So far, it is not used for structural parts and bodies of automobiles. An Indian car uses only about 54 kg of aluminium against a global average of 100 to 110 kg. This sets the high potential for growth with the increase in the automobile sector.
Demand for aluminium is estimated to grow at 4 to 6% per annum. The demand for the metal is expected to pick up as the scenario improves for user industries like power, infrastructure and transportation, which are all on the move.
Water is the necessity of our daily life, it's so important for us that we need clean, safe and sanitary water every day, and usually there's a more strict inspection standard in the more advanced country.
Potable spring waters containing, sulphur iron, magnesium and other mineral salts occurring in certain regions are claimed to be beneficial to human metabolism. The therapitic value of such waters is questionable carbonated mineral waters also contain lithium salts.
There are two kinds of drinking water in the market. One is the natural water, which is called mineral water. The other is processed water coming from underground or from the pipe of water plant, which is called R.O. water, space water or pure water.
Uses and Application
Mineral water is bottled under very hygienic conditions under strict quality control before being marketed. Its major use is in five star Hotels and Hospitals where good quality pure water is required for potable purposes. It is marketed at places and regions where hygienic drinking water is not freely available.
Market Survey
The bottled water market is growing at a rapid rate of around 20% a year (down from 50 to 60%). At this growth rate, the market is estimated to overtake the soft drinks market soon. Multi nationals Coca Cola, Pepsi, Nestle and others are trying to grab a significant share of the market. There are more than 1800 brands in the unorganized sector. The small players account for nearly 19% of the total market.
Bottled water industry, colloquially called, the mineral water industry, is a symbol of a new lifestyle and health consciousness emerging in India. While a large segment of the population is struggling to get access to potable water supply, a new generation especially in the urban areas is getting accustomed to bottled water paying handsome prices.
The growth trends in packaged drinking water and a growing demand is indicative of the fact that water and its variants will be the single largest beverage category, growing and becoming at least 20 times of the current market size within the next 10 12 years.
There is a very good scope for this product and it is the right time for new entrepreneurs to venture into this field.
Few Indian Major Players are as Under : waste is a popular, informal name for electronic products nearing the end of their useful life.
WEEE has been identified as one of the fastest growing sources of waste in the EU, and is estimated to be increasing by 16 to 28 per cent every five years. Within each sector a complex set of heterogeneous secondary wastes is created.
Electronic wastes, e waste, e scrap, or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) is a description of surplus, obsolete, broken or discarded electrical or electronic devices. Technically, electronic waste is the component which is dumped or disposed or discarded rather than recycled, including residue from reuse and recycling operations. Because loads of surplus electronics are frequently commingled (good, recyclable, and non recyclable), several public policy advocates apply the term e waste broadly to all surplus electronics.
Uses & Application
Electronic Waste – or e waste – is the term used to describe old, end of life electronic appliances such as computers, laptops, TVs, DVD players, mobile phones, mp3 players etc. which have been disposed of by their original users. While there is no generally accepted definition of e waste, in most cases, e waste comprises of relatively expensive and essentially durable products used for data processing, telecommunications or entertainment in private households and businesses.

– Introduction to Stress: Understanding the Enemy Within
What is stress? Essentially, stress is the body's natural reaction to anything that is perceived as a threat or a challenge. It can be beneficial in small doses, as it can help us focus and be productive. However, prolonged stress can have negative impacts on our physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Prolonged or chronic stress can result from ongoing situations like financial struggles, relationship issues, or workplace demands. Chronic stress can lead to heart disease, high blood pressure, depression, anxiety, and other serious health problems. But how exactly does this happen?
When we experience stress, our bodies release hormones like cortisol and adrenaline that help prepare us to handle the situation. Our heart rate and blood pressure increase, adrenaline surges through our body, and we may even start sweating. These bodily reactions are helpful in the short-term, but when experienced repeatedly over time, they can lead to long-term health issues.

Fortunately, there are many ways to manage and reduce stress in our lives. By understanding what causes our stress and how it affects us, we can learn to identify stressors and develop effective coping mechanisms. So, let's dive deeper into the world of stress and develop strategies to manage it effectively.
– Identifying Your Personal Stress Triggers
Stress is a part of everyone's life, and identifying your personal stress triggers is crucially important when it comes to managing it. Most people would agree that it's not possible to avoid stress completely, but with the right approach, you can find a way to cope with it better and lead a healthier, happier life.
A stress trigger is something that causes stress in an individual. Triggers can be either internal or external. For example, an external source of stress could be a heavy workload or financial difficulties, while an internal source of stress could be an internal dialogue of negative self-talk. Understanding the personal triggers that cause stress can help identify patterns of behavior and thought processes that can be modified to reduce stress levels over time.
One of the best things about identifying your stress triggers is that it can help make you more self-aware, and can make it easier to manage the symptoms of stress. In addition, learning how to identify stress triggers will make it easier to avoid them in the first place, or at least respond to them in a way that minimizes stress.
Remember that everyone's stress triggers are different, and what may be stressful for one person may not be stressful for another. Knowing what your stress triggers are is a big first step in getting the help you need to reduce the stress in your life. With some simple strategies in place, you can learn to manage and reduce stress in your life effectively. By making stress reduction a priority, you can improve your physical and mental health and live a happier life.
Practicing coping strategies can help individuals better manage stress and maintain a healthy mental state. Here are tried and tested techniques that you can use to prevent stress from taking over your life.
1. Mindfulness meditation is an effective stress-reduction technique that involves focusing your attention on the present moment. It enables you to identify stress triggers and manage them better. Start by setting aside a few minutes each day to concentrate on your breathing, and gradually increase the duration as you become more comfortable.
2. Engage in physical activity to reduce stress. Regular exercise helps to improve your mood by releasing endorphins, which are the feel-good hormones. Go for a walk, jog or hit the gym. More importantly, aim to make physical activity a part of your routine.
3. Learn the art of relaxation. Relaxation exercises such as deep breathing, yoga, and progressive muscle relaxation are techniques that can help you reduce stress. These techniques teach you how to relax your body and mind, which helps you to handle stress better.

4. Social support can also help alleviate stress. Talk to family and friends, engage in activities that you enjoy, or attend support groups. Discussing your feelings with others can help you feel better, and provide you with an opportunity to get perspective on your situation.

Managing stress is a lifelong process that takes practice. However, with these tried and tested techniques, you can reduce your stress levels, feel better and live a healthier life.
– Exercises and Activities for Stress Relief: Unwind and Relax
Breathing Exercises:
Breathing exercises are one of the simplest and quickest ways to combat stress. Sit comfortably and take a few deep breaths, inhaling for four seconds and exhaling for four seconds. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. Try to focus solely on your breath and clear your mind of any intrusive thoughts. Repeat this exercise for five minutes.
Yoga:
Yoga is a great way to relieve stress while also improving flexibility and strength. Certain yoga poses, including downward dog, child's pose, and tree pose, can be particularly effective for stress relief. Find a quiet place to practice yoga and try to focus on your breathing throughout the session.
Meditation:
Meditation is a practice that involves focusing your attention on a particular object, thought, or activity to achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm state. Sit in a comfortable position and focus solely on your breathing. Try to clear your mind of any intrusive thoughts. If your mind starts to wander, gently bring your focus back to your breath. Repeat this for a few minutes each day.
Coloring:
Coloring is a simple and effective way to reduce stress. Coloring can be meditative and offer a way to focus on something other than your stress. Find some coloring pages or a coloring book that you enjoy and set aside some time to color. Make it a relaxing time as you let go of your worries.
– Self-Care and Lifestyle Changes: Live a Stress-Free Life
Creating a stress-free life is all about taking care of yourself and making some lifestyle changes. If you're feeling overwhelmed and anxious, try incorporating self-care practices. These can include things like going on walks or doing yoga, taking relaxing baths, or simply taking a break and doing something you enjoy. Prioritizing your mental health is key to living a happier, healthier life.
Another lifestyle change that can help reduce stress is establishing a routine. Creating a consistent schedule for things like work, exercise, and sleep can help you feel more grounded and in control. Additionally, make sure to take breaks and give yourself time to rest throughout the day. This can help you feel refreshed and ready to tackle whatever comes your way.
Finally, be mindful of the things you consume. Eating a healthy, balanced diet can improve your overall well-being and reduce stress levels. Avoiding excessive caffeine, sugar, and alcohol can also help. Additionally, limit the amount of time you spend on social media or in front of screens. Instead, try reading a book, practicing mindfulness, or spending time outside. Taking these small steps toward self-care and making lifestyle changes can help you live a more stress-free life. In conclusion, stress is a natural part of life, but it's essential to identify it and deal with it effectively. Don't let stress take control of your life. Take some time to learn and practice these stress-busting techniques, and discover how much happier and healthier life can be. Because ultimately, our mental and emotional well-being is an essential aspect of our overall health and success in life. So, take control of your stress, and get ready to live your best life yet | eng | 9e18cb04-a845-4731-895f-ca6760bc7c2a | https://digitalidahonews.com/beat-stress-learn-effective-techniques/ |

9/11 has rolled round again. Everything that happened there is still one of the most terrifying things I can imagine, although maybe not for the reasons you might think. Just like, imagine dying in a horrible way and *then* your death is used to justify years of atrocities. Doesn't matter who you were or what you thought. For the rest of eternity you'd be at best a statistic and at worst a symbol of nationalism and racism. You'd be warped forever without your consent. It haunts me and it could happen to me, to anyone at any time. Even if you *want* to dismantle the systems that made it happen, it means nothing in the face of war.

Informative and awareness-raising meeting
AWEN, in collaboration with the Psycho-Social Center "Vatra" Vlora, has continued organizing informative and awareness-raising meetings with students from the "Ali Demi" high school in Vlora. These meetings aimed to address the causes and social consequences of domestic violence and gender-based violence, as well as the legislation and protection mechanisms available for victims of violence.
The objective of these meetings was to inform and raise awareness among young people about the phenomenon of violence, while providing information on where victims of violence can seek protection and support for their rehabilitation and reintegration. During the sessions, students were educated about the causes and social consequences of violence among minors, as well as the legislation and protection mechanisms in place for survivors of violence. The students actively participated in the discussions and posed various questions, with a particular focus on sexual violence and online violence.

Now Boomers are to blame for lack of Fast Food workers
The person in question was probably not properly articulating the fact that the number of retirees is increasing which leaves many positions open.
There is an all around labor shortage and part of it has to do with the shutdowns and how many people chose to retire earlier than return to the labor
force coupled with the normal annually increasing retirement figures.
Huge problem in skilled trades is the older generation not retiring leaving no skilled jobs for the younger generation. Why am I competing for jobs
with 60, 70, sometimes 80 year olds when they should be retired or taking their dirt nap. Got redneck talking about how great boomers work ethic is
when the first thing they do when the work bell rings is go to the bathroom and take a dump for a half hour on company time. So maybe these old
timers can #1 retire at appropriate age 55-60, #2 train next generation better, boomers did not train me or my boomer dad like boomer egos claim. a
reply to: dawnstar
Yes reality. Maybe you should realize its not going to be the way you see it anymore? Cell phones and internet have drastically changed the world. My
company doesn't even use physical technical blueprints anymore its all on iPads and we have access to every drawing in the company's files. Did you
ever think something line that would ever happen? Scrapping paper blue prints?
All great, but you can only recycle the same old, same old so much. Someone, somewhere has to know how to make more and new blueprints at some stage
of the game.
I work with a younger gal. She's one of my minions. She certainly isn't disdaining a job that isn't high wage. She works two, in fact with one being
mine.
She and her partner are not disdaining hard work at entry levels, and they are busy converting an Amish-built shed into a tiny house for the two of
them using their money. That's more hard work of the handsy variety that most younger folks think is beneath them these days.
They have that mentality still. It's just expressed and funneled in different ways.
You can't force young people to be like you were as a kid or teen. It's like when new parents have their parents trying to tell them how to raise
their kids, it doesnt work like that. Sure a tip here and there works, but grandma isn't the one living and growing with that kid day in and out.
Again, times are changing. And they are changing fast. A little too fast to be honest.
Your idea of a tiny home sounds a bit bigger than mine.... is it an actual tiny home, built on a trailer? Or just a smaller house? Either way, your
doll house sounds nice.
Are the tiny homes legal where you are at? Aren't you kind of in hurricane country? That is what gets me. They seem to be legal in areas where it
would be more likely to be blown away in a tornado or hurricane but illegal in what would seem to be safer areas.
You might want to think about at least finishing the book. There does seem to be more interest in downsizing. The mc mansions ended up being overly
expensive pieces of crap really.
a reply to: Jdubious
Retirement age is what?? 62? Or is it older than that? And, it's not like they all have a pension to fall back on. I doubt if they can retire at 50
or 60!!
As far as training... we should have more apprenticeship opportunities. But.. well, you also have to consider that the boomers learned the trade in a
different world. A world without computers. My husband would come home from the machine shop and spend hours on the computer learning cad, or how to
run a cnc machine. He was still playing catchup to the technology till the day he passed on!
It isn't the employees job to train as much as it is the employers.
Not all younger people hate hard work. But the hard work is being selectively and carefully chosen.
I worked at a place that had people who basically just walked in and got a job on the spot and never stopped working until they retire.
The options today are much more refined. Automation and ai has really changed the labor force. It's made people more technical and focus on the
aspects that make automation and ai work in more streamlined ways.
As for your comment about teaching people to create technical drawings, hate to say it but engineers barely do anything beyond sign off on drawings
nowadays, and the detailers just run it through a computer program. Most of the screw ups are fixed or refined by the guys in the shop.
But over all its almost made junior engineers a redundant position. All you need is a team of detailers and a lead engineer, all because drafting by
hand and crunching numbers is done by a computer.
So maybe these old timers can #1 retire at appropriate age 55-60, #2 train next generation better
#1: Retirement age is normally 62-65 (I retired early on disability). The longer someone works, the more they draw after retirement. So if you don't
like that, how about addressing the real issue there? Social Security Retirement. Might work better than expecting old folks to either go quietly into
poverty or die sooner so you can catch a break.
#2: The job is not to train people; the job is to do the work. If you want to learn what we know, you have to actually ask and listen. We don't owe
you a damn thing. To be honest, with your attitude, I wouldn't help you improve either. Maybe that's the problem?
Oh, and I'm really and truly sorry you can't compete with the old guys. Maybe if you were more like them, you could. Maybe if you had tried to learn
from them instead of expecting them to stop and pamper your little hiney, you could. After all, they would seem to be pulling their weight just fine,
even with long restroom breaks. Not to mention the aches and pains that start popping up after 50 and get really annoying after 60.
Maybe you should realize its not going to be the way you see it anymore?
Maybe you should realize that the more things change the more they stay the same.
People are still people, despite the cell phones and Internet. Physics is still physics, despite cell phones and Internet. None of that is going to
change. All this technology has done is make it easier for people to goof off and for things to go foul.
I was still a draftsman when the computer revolution took over the industry. I used to be Chief Draftsman in a medium size steel fabrication shop. We
had one of the new million-dollar state-of-the-art CAD systems that the executives wanted to see working so bad it made their heads hurt. But, what
really gave them a headache was when we got in a job with several small buildings, all different but basically the same size and complexity. I split
the job up into two equal parts: one part I programmed into the system, and the other I drew by hand. I finished mine before the computer could, and
that's with me taking time out to keep the computer updated!
Had a friend come to me after I started my own company. He was trying out a new CAD system the customer wanted. There was this big set of bracing that
wouldn't close and he couldn't figure out why, so he brought it to me. Took a while, but I found the problem... it had one brace being cut to
-5.5 inches long.
Yep, that's not a typo. Negative 5.5 inches. Now how exactly do you do that? Not gonna mention the required hole pattern in it was about 6" long...Oh, and before you start in with that tired old cliche about old folks not being able to work computers, I have CAD capability here and I use it
pretty regularly. I have an AMD 1090T running 16 gigs RAM in my shop that does everything form circuit board design to CAD to 3D modeling to complex
mathematical analysis to circuit simulation. I have a Ryzen 5 pushing 32 gigs RAM in my home office that does the same thing... only a little faster.
I'm not your typical anti-computer old fogey... I know how they work and I use them regularly. I just also know what they can't do, something that's
sorely missing from young-'uns today.
Remember: To err is human; to really screw things up takes a computer. Or don't... it'll slap you up side the head eventually.
The "doll house" is just a smaller house, not a "tiny house" like you see on some of the TV shows today. Those are actually a little inefficient
because of the size, believe it or not. Now, combine 4 or more into one structure, and you fix that inefficiency.
Maybe someday I'll get back on it... too many things left to finish and at my age I don't feel like breaking my back trying to get to all of them. I
do what I feel like now and if something remains undone after I'm done, it'll be up to my kids to finish or not. All of my work is safely tucked away
in digital form, some backed up on paper, for them to run with as they see fit when I move on.You just plain and simply put it all together right there...
I'm not saying that people themselves have not changed as in human psychology and how we think. It's the nature of society around us that changes, and
the material world that changes. Humans create things to ease the burden of physical labor on our bodies and other things such as living longer, and
pleasuring out minds.
That's what is changing, you even said it yourself, you know how run and build computers, you yourself hasn't changed, but the technology you use has.
I noted in another post here that where I work there is no hand drafting, and junior engineers are almost a redundant position. It's all automated and
AI driven now. We have an entire shop that is on the verge of becoming almost humanless and can build an entire steel framework for a Walmart or
something with maybe a workforce of five people, robots and machines do all the rest of the work. So, where do you think those workers who would have
filled those positions before are going to work now?
They aren't going to take up a fast food job, they'll be forced to take on a job that the market is demanding, their focus will be on something
else.
I should also say that we haven't gone back to the moon because of some obvious reasons, there's no need. And once government stopped funding NASA
that was it. The technology is still there, it just took billionaires to get it back up to speed and become profitable somehow. Now imagine if all
those billionaires got together and collaborated with the will of a nation accepting that some of their taxes will aid such a venture again.
Can't have that tho, too socialist sounding.
Maybe we need to change how we think a tad.
Computers are supposed to be making our lives much easier, aren't they? The idea is that they work hard, so we don't have to, isnt it? Just like we
tap into china or India's cheap labor force. They work hard so we don't have to and we get our products at a cheaper price to boot... supposedly.
So, we are working at getting our computers and robotics working hard, the overseas labor working hard, but still expecting our workforce to keep
working just as hard as the generations before them. Sooner or later on of these two competing ideologies are gonna have to be laid aside or we are
gonna be drowning in products the computers are spitting out at top speed that no one can afford to buy because there is no hard work to be found.
Best post I have read all week. That, unfortunately , is the truth..I see it every day at work. I am a whisker from turning 60, and find myself
outworking most of the 30 year olds I work with. I don't really care who does what, but I was raised with a work ethic and don't shy away from doing
what it takes to get the job done...That ethic seems to be lacking these days. Oh and by the way, if you don't like your job, find something else. If
you are worth hiring, someone will hire you......
Sooner or later on of these two competing ideologies are gonna have to be laid aside or we are gonna be drowning in products the computers are
spitting out at top speed that no one can afford to buy because there is no hard work to be found.
And thus we enter the realm of 'the great reset'. And this coming 'fourth' industrial revolution.
I'm not saying that people themselves have not changed as in human psychology and how we think. It's the nature of society around us that
changes, and the material world that changes. Humans create things to ease the burden of physical labor on our bodies and other things such as living
longer, and pleasuring out minds.
The problem is that the change you speak of is not sustainable. Robots make errors; computers make errors. Humans have this ability to detect when
something unexpected goes wrong and can take steps to minimize any consequences. A robot cannot; it an only respond as programmed to sensory input
that is available.
A single sensor malfunction that goes undetected can completely ruin an entire job in your shop. The machinery will keep right on keeping on, happily
doing its job (incorrectly), while a person can look at a stick of steel they're working on and often realize that something is amiss. That is the
difference between thousands of dollars of material going to waste, the entire job being delayed, and who knows how much delay cost, and a minor
glitch that wastes a few sticks of steel.
What you are seeing as some sort of "evolution" of society is in reality what it takes to try and function with all the errors being made due to lack
of human oversight. Combine that with the expectation that everything will be easy and no one should have to spend a lifetime doing what every
generation before spent a lifetime doing to get to the same place, and you have this great big glorious clusterf**k going on.
Sorry for the language; I know of nothing else that even comes close to describing it. And no, I will not accept it. I may be forced to watch
everything crumble before enough people get enough gumption to actually do something about it, but I will never accept it.
As for the space program, we haven't been back to the moon because we have been too busy trying to "fix" society.
Computers are supposed to be making our lives much easier, aren't they? The idea is that they work hard, so we don't have to, isnt
it?
The problem there is we intended to use robots/computers as our servants, having them do the things we didn't want to or couldn't do. They're great
for that. Wonderful machines to make our lives easier.
But then people began to get lazy. Suddenly they were expecting computers to do everything. Need directions? Just punch the address in; GPS
will guide you. Want to know something? We don't need no stinkin' books.. ask Google and Alexa! House needs vacuuming? Roomba will handle it. They
even have a similar unit to tend a garden now! All the things we should have been doing for ourselves, we now demand computers do it, no matter how
simple.
So of course, managers wanted to get in on the act. Workplaces set up computers to handle everything. You don't even have to read the buttons on a
McDonald's cash register; they have pictures of the food! So now computers are no longer working for us; we are working for them. We do as they say,
buy what they say is available, pay what they say something costs, go where they tell us to go, etc., etc., etc. I can't count the number of times I
had a problem with an order or something and was told "the computer won't let me do that" to fix it.
I can tell you how many times I heard that and continued to deal with that company: zero!
So now we are no longer using computers for servants; we are using them for masters. And in a master role, computers suck!
Yes, humans do view errors at a much faster rate than AI.
But AI is learning at a much faster rate than anyone ever expected, so who knows what the future holds. Especially with quantum computing almost

On October 10, 1774, a battle was fought between American colonists and the native Shawnee and Mingo tribes for control over the junction where the Ohio and Kanawha Rivers met. The colonists came out on top of the conflict, leading to a peace treaty between the tribes and the colonists. The treaty opened the Ohio River Valley to further exploration and new settlements.
The treaty also kept colonists from having to fight a two-front war when the American Revolution began just a few months later.
Know Before You Go
The Point Pleasant Battlefield can be found at the end of Main Street in Point Pleasant, WV. Main Street ends at the edge of the Kanawha River. The site is illuminated at night and is open until 10 p.m.
Point Pleasant can be easily reached via WV Route 62 from Mason, WV or by using WV Route 2. US Route 35 passes within two miles of the site. The Mothman Museum is a few blocks back up Main Street from the battlefield | eng | 8927d73b-6e58-4fa6-836f-d9568485cc98 | https://assets.atlasobscura.com/places/point-pleasant-battlefield-memorial |
Circumstantial Evidence
Circumstantial evidence is any evidence that requires some reasoning or inference in order to prove a fact. This type of evidence is sometimes referred to as "indirect evidence," and it may have more than one explanation or lead to more than one conclusion. In many situations, more than one piece of circumstantial evidence may be used to draw the judge or jury to a specific conclusion. To explore this concept, consider the circumstantial evidence definition.
Definition of Circumstantial Evidence
Noun
Proof of facts offered as evidence from which other facts may be inferred.
What is Circumstantial Evidence
Circumstantial evidence is evidence which strongly suggests something, but does not exactly prove it. Circumstantial evidence simply helps people draw inferences about a fact, or the events that took place. This type of evidence is, on its own, considered to be weak or ineffective, so it is used in conjunction with direct evidence in both criminal and civil cases. Whether or not the judge or jury makes the intended inference has a major impact on the outcome of the case.
For example:
Mary testifies in court that she saw Robert standing over a man with a bloody knife in his hand. Mary did not see Robert stab the victim, so she can only testify and describe what she saw. This circumstantial evidence is likely not enough by itself to convict Robert, so the prosecution provides other evidence which, when added to Mary's testimony, leads the jury to the conclusion that Robert stabbed the victim.
Validity of Circumstantial Evidence
There are popular misconceptions surrounding the validity of circumstantial evidence, as many people believe it is not as convincing as direct evidence. In reality, circumstantial evidence is an important tool used by prosecutors to convict people. Circumstantial evidence, which can be derived from a variety of sources, can be used to lay a foundation of belief, and backed up by witness testimony and direct evidence for credibility.
Examples of Circumstantial Evidence
Nearly anything can be used as circumstantial evidence, so long as it helps create a picture of the incident or crime, leading the judge or jury to a valid conclusion. Facts that do not necessarily prove a defendant's culpability, such as prior threats made to the victim, fingerprints found at the scene of the crime, testimony that a neighbor saw the defendant in the neighborhood, or the fact that the defendant was the beneficiary of the victim's life insurance policy, are all circumstantial evidence. Even in the absence of an eye witness to the crime, these pieces of evidence, when taken together, certainly lead to the conclusion that the accused is guilty.
For example:
Mark and Bob get into a heated argument, during which Mark declares in front of a room full of people, that he wanted to kill Bob. A week later, Bob is found murdered in his back yard. Mark's declaration is not direct evidence that he committed the crime, but it gives police a suspect.
How an individual treated or interacted with the victim before the crime is another point that may be used as circumstantial evidence.
For example:
Helen, one of Bob's coworkers, has been romantically obsessed with Bob for about a year. A few months ago, she began sending him unwanted emails and text messages containing romantic messages, and then gifts began showing up at his home. Bob asked Helen to stop, but she only stopped talking to him at work. Recently, Bob told a friend that he had seen Helen at his softball games, and once saw her following him at the mall. This information is not direct evidence that Helen murdered Bob, but it gives police a second suspect to investigate.
In a civil lawsuit, circumstantial evidence serves the same purpose, to lead the judge or jury to a desired conclusion.
For example:
Leo has filed a civil lawsuit against Fred, claiming that Fred backed into his car in a parking lot, causing substantial damage. In court, Fred admits to being in the parking lot at the same time as Leo, but denies he hit anything, and there were no other witnesses to the incident. Leo presents photos of the parking lot, with a diagram of how the accident occurred, and shows photos of the damage to both vehicles, and points out the red paint transfer from his car to Leo's bumper.
While none of this is direct evidence of Fred's culpability in the incident, the circumstantial evidence leads the judge to believe it is more likely than not that there was an accident, and that it was Fred's fault.
Infamous Conviction Based on Circumstantial Evidence
Scott Peterson Murder Conviction
Laci Peterson, a 27-year old mother-to-be, went missing from her Modesto, California home on Christmas Eve 2002. Husband Scott Peterson reported Lacy missing, telling police that she simply was nowhere to be found when he returned from a fishing trip that day. Days and weeks went by with no suspects. Friends and family said they didn't believe Scott would murder his wife, but he eventually became a suspect, as he began giving police inconsistent information.
In January, police discovered that Scott had engaged in several affairs, the most recent being with a woman named Amber Frey. Frey approached police after learning Scott was married to the missing pregnant woman. Soon after, police taped phone calls between Frey and Scott in hopes they would hear a confession. The only thing they learned from the taped conversations was that Scott had planned on taking Frey out of the country on vacation, only days after Laci went missing.
Laci's body, and the body of a fetus, were found in April of 2003, washed up on shore in Richmond, California. This was the same shoreline where Scott reported going fishing the day the Laci disappeared. After discovering the bodies, police searched Scott's truck, his boat, and his home, as well as the area where they believed Laci's body had been dumped, but nothing turned up.
On April 18, 2003, San Diego police arrested Scott. He had altered his looks and had belongings on him that led police to believe he would flee the country. The media closely followed the subsequent murder trial, in which there was virtually no direct evidence, but a long string of circumstantial evidence pointing to Scott Peterson's guilt. Such evidence included the inconsistencies in Scott's stories, his admitted affair with Frey, the fact that he sold Laci's car soon after she disappeared, that he had expressed an interest in selling the house right away, and a 6-inch long, dark hair found on a pair of pliers located in his boat.
Although the defense attempted to explain away each piece of circumstantial evidence, the jury was convinced that Scott Peterson had murdered his wife and unborn child. Peterson received the death penalty, and awaits execution in California's San Quentin prison.
