Evolution And Rise of ePharmacy In India
The evolution of ePharmacy has transformed the way we access healthcare. With increased convenience, authenticity and accessibility, it has become the new normal for many people seeking prescription medication and medical advice online.
By Simran
02 Mar 2023
The rise of technology has revolutionised the way we live and work. In the healthcare sector, one of the most significant changes has been the emergence of ePharmacy, a digital platform for buying medicines online. The ePharmacy industry is growing at an unprecedented rate, and it is predicted to become the future of the pharmaceutical industry.
According to a report by Grand View Research, the global ePharmacy market size was valued at $57.8 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.3 per cent from 2020 to 2027.

What is an ePharmacy?
ePharmacy, also known as an online pharmacy, internet pharmacy, or virtual pharmacy, is a digital platform that allows consumers to purchase prescription and non-prescription drugs and other healthcare products online. It operates similarly to traditional brick-and-mortar pharmacies, but with the added convenience of being accessible from anywhere with an internet connection.
The concept of ePharmacy emerged in the late 1990s, but it wasn't until the early 2000s that it began to gain widespread popularity. Today, ePharmacy has become a booming industry, with a projected global market size of $177 billion by 2026.
How does an ePharmacy work?
ePharmacy is an online platform where customers can purchase medicines and other healthcare products. These purchases are made with a few simple steps, listed below:
Browsing products: Consumers can search for specific medicines or browse through the online catalogue to find what they need.
Uploading prescription: If the medicine requires a prescription, the consumer can upload a prescription online, and the pharmacy's licensed pharmacist will review it.
Payment and delivery: Once the order is confirmed, the consumer can pay online and choose a delivery option, either to their doorstep, at work or to a nearby pick-up location.
Follow-up: ePharmacies may also offer follow-up services, such as reminding consumers to refill their prescriptions or consulting with a licensed pharmacist online. Some also facilitate booking health checks and other diagnostic tests.
Current Scenario of ePharmacy in India
With the rise of ePharmacies, people can now easily buy medicines online, without having to physically visit a pharmacy. This convenience has made ePharmacy a popular option among people, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, when going out was restricted.
However, the growth of ePharmacy in India has been accompanied by various challenges, such as regulatory issues and concerns around patient safety. Here's an overview of the current situation of ePharmacies in India:
1. Regulatory Framework
The Indian government has been working on regulations for the ePharmacy industry to ensure the safety and quality of medicines sold online. In September 2020, the government issued draft rules for ePharmacies, which require online pharmacies to obtain a license from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO) and comply with certain norms such as maintaining records of prescriptions and ensuring the authenticity of drugs sold online. The regulations are expected to bring more clarity and credibility to the ePharmacy industry. In September 2018, the central government also issued guidelines for the online sale of medicines. As per the guidelines, ePpharmacies must be registered under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 and the Pharmacy Act, 1948. Because of these strict laws, no fake medicines can surface online on any of the ePharmacy platforms.
2. Patient Safety
Patient safety is a critical concern when it comes to ePharmacy. There are concerns about the authenticity of medicines sold online, as well as the risk of counterfeit products. To address this, the central government has mandated that ePharmacies must only sell medicines that are approved by the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI). They are also required to maintain records of all medicines sold and ensure that they are stored and transported in compliance with applicable laws.
In addition, ePharmacies must have a registered pharmacist available to answer any queries from customers. They must also have a process in place to verify the authenticity of the prescription and only sell medicines on a valid prescription from a registered medical practitioner.
The ePharmacy industry in India is poised for significant growth in the coming years. With the convenience it offers and the increasing adoption of digital technologies, ePharmacy is likely to become a preferred option for purchasing medicines. However, the industry will need to address regulatory and safety concerns to ensure that it operates in a responsible and sustainable manner. As the regulatory framework evolves, it is likely that the ePharmacy market will become more structured and organised, creating new opportunities for players in the market.
Why ePharmacy is the future?
A study published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research in 2020 found that ePharmacy users reported greater convenience, lower costs, and improved medication adherence compared to traditional pharmacy users.
1. Convenience and accessibility
The primary benefit of ePharmacy is convenience and accessibility. With ePharmacy, people can purchase medications and healthcare products from the comfort of their homes, eliminating the need to visit a physical pharmacy or doctor's office. This is particularly beneficial for people who have mobility issues, live in remote areas, or have busy schedules. It also allows patients to have access to a wide range of medicines and healthcare products, regardless of their location.
2. Improved medication adherence
ePharmacy platforms have features that enable patients to set reminders for medication schedules and refill requests. This helps patients stick to their medication schedules and avoid missing doses, which can have a significant impact on their health outcomes. Studies have shown that medication adherence is a significant challenge for patients, particularly those with chronic conditions. ePharmacy platforms can help to improve medication adherence and overall health outcomes.
3. Personalisation and patient-centric care
ePharmacy platforms collect data on patients' medical histories, medication profiles, and health goals. This information can be used to provide personalised healthcare advice and treatment plans that meet the individual needs of each patient. Additionally, ePharmacy platforms can provide patients with access to healthcare professionals who can answer their questions and provide advice on medication and treatment options.
4. Cost savings
ePharmacy platforms can help patients save money on their healthcare costs. By eliminating the overhead costs associated with a physical pharmacy, epharmacy platforms can offer lower prices on medications and healthcare products. Additionally, epharmacy platforms can help patients save money by providing access to generic medications, which are often cheaper than their brand-name counterparts.
5. Improved patient outcomes
ePharmacy platforms can play a significant role in improving patient outcomes by providing patients with access to healthcare professionals and medical advice. Patients can use ePharmacy platforms to ask questions about their medications, receive advice on managing their health conditions, and access information on new treatments and healthcare products. By providing patients with these resources, ePharmacy platforms can help patients manage their health more effectively and improve their overall health outcomes.
The future of ePharmacy in India looks promising with the increasing adoption of e-commerce, rising healthcare awareness, and government regulations. The industry can play a significant role in providing convenient and accessible healthcare services to people, especially in rural and remote areas. The ePharmacy industry can also leverage technology to improve the efficiency of supply chain management and ensure quality control. However, it is important for the industry to address the challenges and concerns of consumers and work towards building trust and credibility.

Book Review: Three Parts Dead
I was very impressed with this book. I picked up the whole series when it was on sale one day on Amazon. Never heard of it before, but I read Patrick Rothfuss's review of it, and I figured it certainly sounded worth $13 as an experiment. Why not?
So glad I bought it.
As far as fantasies go, it's a bit of a strange one. Set in a sort of alternate history feeling-ish present day, where magic and gods are real. Or were real. Most of the gods are now dead, usurped by magic users. Probably. The world building unfolds as the story goes on, so it's not something you necessarily wholly understand right at the beginning of the book, and Gladstone does a fantastic job doling out information through the narrative, as opposed to using information dumps.
Really, it's the sort of book that makes me jealous as a writer. It's so well done, I wish I'd been able to do it myself.
Better yet, that's all just the background for the story. This specific fantasy is more a murder mystery book with a legal slant, that happens to take place in a fantasy world. Pulling off all of that at the same time is incredibly difficult, and this book makes it feel like a breeze.
A god and a judge die the same day. The deaths seem unrelated, but a magic-using lawyer fresh out of school is hired by a law firm to come in and represent the dead god's priests in an effort to resurrect a zombie version of the god that will continue to at least do most of what the living god had done for his believers. And as she explores the case, she discovers all is not as it seems.
It's an intriguing book that's unafraid to shove its readers straight into the deep end. I can definitely see why Rothfuss loved it, and I'm already well into book two. If any of this sounds remotely interesting to you, I encourage you to give this book a shot. Best of all? It's a stand alone. Yes, it's part of a sequence of books, but this one exists perfectly all on its lonesome | eng | 362b6d99-20df-4c13-bbf1-79ae73d7915b | http://brycemoore.com/blog/book-review-three-parts-dead/ |

Guide to the Types of Restraining Orders in California
What Is a Restraining Order?
Restraining orders are court orders which stop individuals from performing certain actions. They're also known as "protective orders" because they protect people from violent or threatening behavior.
There are various types of restraining orders available. Broadly, though, they may be grouped into two categories. Protective orders can:
Stop people from getting too close to another person e.g. showing up at their home; or
Prevent people from contacting another person or physically harming them.
We'll break down the different types of restraining orders in more detail below.
Temporary Restraining Order vs. Permanent Restraining Order
ROs can be temporary or permanent, depending on the case.
A temporary restraining order (TRO) only lasts up to 25 days. These are used to protect a victim until a court hearing can take place.
Permanent restraining orders (PROs) can remain in place for five years. A judge only awards PROs if they're necessary to protect a victim in the long term.
How Many Types of Restraining Orders Are There?
California recognizes four types of restraining orders:
Civil harassment
Domestic violence
Elder abuse
Workplace violence
Civil Harassment Restraining Order
Civil harassment orders protect individuals from stalking or harassment. They can also protect people from threats, abuse or threatening behavior.
When can someone get a civil harassment RO? You can file for such an order if:
You're being harassed or threatened; and
You don't have a specific type of relationship with the defendant.
Civil harassment ROs protect people who are not in a romantic or close relationship. For example, you might file for a civil RO against:
Domestic Violence Restraining Order
You can seek a domestic violence RO if you have a romantic, intimate, or close family relationship with the defendant. Examples of such relationships include:
Spouses
Domestic partners
Romantic partners
Ex-spouses and ex-romantic partners
Parents or children
In-laws
These orders also protect people who have a child in common with the defendant.
Elder Abuse Restraining Order
Elder abuse ROs protect senior citizens from caregiver abuse or neglect. "Abuse" has a wide meaning and includes financial, physical, and emotional abuse.
To apply for such an order, the victim must be aged 65 or over. They can be younger if they're a dependent adult. The victim can apply if they have capacity or someone else – such as a lawyer – can apply for them.
Workplace Violence Restraining Order
A workplace violence RO protects employees at work. Volunteers and contractors are also protected.
Only employers who wish to protect an employee from a real and credible threat of violence can apply. An employee with safety concerns must seek their own civil harassment RO or domestic violence RO instead.
The abuse must normally occur at work for an employer to seek this order. This can include abuse over the phone or by email.
What Is the Process for Obtaining a Restraining Order?
To get any type of restraining order, the victim must file a court petition. If the judge grants a temporary order, the victim becomes known as a "protected person".
Then, once there's a TRO in place, it must be served on the defendant. Process servers or police officers can do this. It's possible that the defendant will be arrested if there's violence or a credible threat of violence.
A court date will be set for a full hearing to take place. The hearing is the defendant's chance to show why the RO is unnecessary. However, if the judge decides the victim needs further protection, they'll make the temporary order permanent.
Consequences of Violating a Criminal Protective Order
Violating a protective order in CA is a criminal offense. It's usually considered a misdemeanor. However, it can still result in jail time and substantial fines. If it's a second offense or involves violence, it could be a felony.
You can only be punished for a RO violation if you knew about the order and wilfully violated it. It's on the prosecutor to show that this is the case.

The Beginners Guide To Veggie Gardening
by Kristin Bugden - June 03, 2022
Have you thought about starting a vegetable garden, but not sure where to begin? While it does take some effort to plan and prepare, the good news is that it's possible to start small and gradually increase the complexity of your growing techniques over time. We've rounded up some basic veggie gardening tips below, so take some notes, and who knows maybe it'll become one of your new favorite and rewarding hobbies.
What do I need to get my veggie garden started?
Starting your veggie garden can be exhilarating, but also overwhelming when it comes to the large scope of garden tools and supplies out there. Allison Vallin Kostovick, organic gardener and founder at Finch + Folly, says her best advice is to start small and slowly build up bed-by-bed over the years. She breaks down some additional handy recommendations here:
Structure: A 4 x 4 ft. or 4 x 8 ft. raised bed are both great ways to start a garden from scratch. Additionally, there's the low-cost option of fabric grow bags—these come in a large array of sizes, are easy to move around and allow you to grow pretty much any veggie you'd like in them.
Quality Soil: When it comes to good garden soil, look to fill your bed/container with a mixture of 60 percent compost and 40 percent topsoil. If you have a large bed to fill, you can place some twigs, branches and leaves as a bottom layer across the bed prior to topping with soil (this will create future compost as the twigs and leaves slowly decompose and feed nutrients back to the soil).
Watering Source: A garden hose and watering can are all that you'll need to get growing—just be sure that your water source can easily reach your garden. Also, look for a sprinkler nozzle for your hose that allows for different levels of water flow, so you can have control over the spray.
Lively tip: when watering your veggies, always try to avoid getting their leaves wet, instead, focus on watering at the base of the plant which helps deter the spread of disease and fungus.
Garden Scissors: Keep a nice pair of garden shears nearby to help you harvest, deadhead (remove spent flowers from plants) and trim back on the spot.
Hand Tools: In terms of hand tools, a hand-held hoe and pronged cultivator are great to have in your gardening arsenal.

What veggies should I choose?
So, how do I know which veggies to plant? Vallin Kostovic tells Lively to simply start by growing some vegetables that you love. A few of her favorites for new growers to plant include: beans, lettuce, peas, carrots, radish, herbs, bush tomato, summer squash, zucchini, beets, hot peppers and strawberries.
"When just starting out, visit your local nursery for established seedlings that you can plant straight into your garden," she notes. "If you'd like to try your hand at starting via seeds, beans, radishes, carrots and squash are wonderful ones to begin with that can be directly sown into your garden bed."
One other important thing to keep in mind is that veggies are seasonal, so some crops prefer cooler weather, like peas, spinach and lettuce, while others flourish in warm weather, including tomatoes, peppers, squash and basil.
Related Articles
What is the right location to grow the veggies?
Vallin Kostovic points out that many vegetables prefer to be grown in a location that receives at least six to eight hours of direct full sunlight, preferably afternoon sun as those rays are stronger than the morning rays. "This is especially true when it comes to fruiting vegetables like tomatoes, peppers, squash and cucumbers, as well as root veggies like onions and carrots," she explains. "Leafy veggies such as lettuce, spinach and kale can all tolerate partial shade and prefer morning rays as they can wilt under strong afternoon sun."
She recommends placing tall or trellised plants at the northern end of your garden so they do not cast a shadow over neighboring plants.
Anything beginner vegetable gardeners should avoid?
Sarah Symonds of Grace In My Space shares that beginner gardeners are often overzealous when it comes to planting. "If you are brand new to gardening, start with two or three vegetables either in patio containers or raised beds. This way you can get a feel for how much time it takes to weed and care for these plants," she says, adding that you can then adjust accordingly how much to plant the following year.
Try to avoid anything chemical if possible, adds Vallin Kostovic, sharing that pesticides and weed killers not only get rid of your garden pests and weeds, but also kill all your "beautiful bees and other beneficial insects which are key to a successful harvest as they pollinate your plants." She alternatively suggests using organic solutions to achieve better results that are "much kinder to the garden you're trying to grow."
Any final words of wisdom?
Finally, we leave you with some last tidbits of advice from our seasoned gardeners. For one, Vallin Kostovic suggests growing lots and lots of herbs. "Herbs are a gardener's best friend for many reasons, but they are especially kind to beginner gardeners as they are fairly hassle free to grow, plus they'll provide endless uses both in and out of the kitchen," she says.
Symonds adds that her first years of gardening were discouraging because she overplanted and couldn't keep up. "Like most beginner gardeners, I didn't know what I was doing — start small and don't give up after one difficult growing season, instead learn and adjust for the next year," she tells Lively.
And to wrap up, have fun and take the time to enjoy what you've created! "Gardening is a wonderful activity for the mind, body and soul—it's a beautiful journey to take," notes Vallin Kostovic | eng | 183b976e-7ce5-4253-8a70-31d9ff01ac0d | https://www.vitalproteins.com/blogs/lifestyle/beginners-guide-to-gardening |

Go Map To String: Go-String Explained
Table of Contents
Go-String is a function in the Go programming language that allows developers to convert complex data structures, such as maps and arrays, into strings. It is an invaluable tool for developers who need to take complex data and make it more easily readable for applications and databases. In this article, we will explore what the Go Map To String Function is, how it works, the advantages of using it, popular use cases, common issues, and tips for optimizing your code with it. We will also provide some alternatives to use while looking at the conclusion of the article.
What is the Go Map To String Function?
The Go Map To String function, also known as Go-String, is a built-in function within the Go programming language. It is used to simplify complex data structures into more readable strings. It does this by taking a provided map, which contains keys and values, and turning it into a string. This makes it easier to work with these data structures and make them more useful for applications or databases.
The Go Map To String function is especially useful when dealing with large amounts of data. It can help to reduce the amount of code needed to process the data, as well as make it easier to debug and maintain. Additionally, it can help to improve the performance of applications, as the data is already in a more readable format.
How Does Go-String Work?
The Go-String function takes a map that contains keys and values as the input and then translates it into a string. The data structure is first translated into a JSON string, which is then converted into a string by the function. The string is then indexed and made easier to read. It is important to note that the keys and values of the initial map are maintained during this conversion process.
The Go-String function is a useful tool for developers who need to quickly and easily convert data into a readable format. It is also useful for data analysis, as it allows for the easy manipulation of data. Additionally, the Go-String function is highly efficient, as it can quickly convert large amounts of data into a readable format.
Advantages of Using Go-String
The advantages of using the Go-String function are numerous. Firstly, it makes complex data structures more readable and easier to work with. This makes it perfect for applications or databases that need to store data in an organized manner. Secondly, it allows developers to avoid errors due to the conversion process being done in-language rather than manually. In addition, since the keys and values are maintained when being converted, it simplifies debugging and maintenance of data structures.
Go-String also provides a great way to quickly and easily convert data between different formats. This makes it ideal for applications that need to communicate with other systems or databases. Furthermore, it is a lightweight and efficient solution that can be used in a variety of scenarios.

It can be used for anything from storing user information, to tracking inventory and managing customer relations. Additionally, it can be used to convert maps from one format to another, allowing developers to work with data from disparate sources.
Go-String is also used for data analysis and visualization. It can be used to create interactive charts and graphs, allowing users to quickly and easily identify trends and patterns in their data. Additionally, it can be used to create predictive models, allowing users to anticipate future outcomes and make informed decisions.
Common Issues with Go-String
While Go-String is a powerful and versatile tool, there are some common issues that can occur when using it. As with any programming language, there can be compatibility issues between versions of Go and versions of Go-String. Additionally, there can be issues due to syntax errors or data type inconsistencies when translation into the string format occurs.
Tips for Optimizing Your Code with Go-String
In order to get the most out of your use of Go-String, there are a few tips you should keep in mind. Firstly, you should make sure that your map has consistent data types as this makes the translation process easier. Secondly, you should be careful when indexing the result string as overly complex indexes can cause errors. Lastly, you should take advantage of the debugging options in Go to help identify any issues with your code.
Alternatives to Go-String
For applications requiring the same data structure conversion capabilities as Go-String, there are a few alternatives available. A popular solution is the Apache Commons Lang library, which provides functions for converting map structures into readable strings as well as other conversion functions. Additionally, there are various third-party converters available if your specific requirements require additional features.
One such third-party converter is the JSON-to-Go library, which provides a simple and efficient way to convert JSON data into Go data structures. It is also capable of converting Go data structures into JSON data, making it a great choice for applications that need to work with both formats. Additionally, the library is open source and actively maintained, making it a reliable choice for developers.
Conclusion

Autism
Spectrum Disorder That Affects How the Brain Develops
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a lifelong condition that often appears in the first three years of life. ASD affects how the brain develops and creates numerous challenges that affect social skills, interaction and communication.
Autism has risen steadily over the past few decades. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about one in 68 children in the U.S. has this disorder. This increase is due in part to greater awareness of ASD and also how it is diagnosed.
It's not clear what causes ASD. Most scientists agree that it has more than one cause and both genes and environment play a role. Although there are claims that vaccines can cause ASD, no scientific studies have linked ASD and vaccines.
Symptoms, Diagnosis and Outlook
People with ASD have trouble with social interactions and communication. Their interests may be minimal. They may also show repeated patterns of behavior and activities. ASD symptoms often start in early childhood, but may also appear later.
For example:
Children with severe ASD may be diagnosed as early as 12 to 18 months of age.
Children with milder ASD may not show major symptoms until early in their teen years.
Some people with ASD are not diagnosed until they are adults. They have often been diagnosed with other mental health conditions first.
Common symptoms include:
A sing-song or flat tone of voice
A tendency to avoid or ignore other people
Difficulty following or participating in a conversation with others
Excessive talking about different subjects without the ability to gauge interest levels in others
Facial expressions, gestures and movements that don't correspond to what's being said
Inconsistent or infrequent eye contact
Making unusual movements, including arm flapping, rocking from side to side and or twirling
Autism is typically diagnosed based on its signs and symptoms. A multidisciplinary team will conduct a neurological, language and cognitive assessment to evaluate your child for ASD.
People with autism can lead active, full lives. For many, symptoms improve with age and treatment.

Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer was on a constant hunt for inspiration– and found novelty everywhere on his travels…
In 1520 Albrecht Dürer was in Brussels when the contents of a treasure ship sent back from the Americas by Hernán Cortés were put on display to celebrate the coronation of Charles V. The cache contained, among other items, obsidian weapons, jaguar pelts, feathered shields, gemstones and mosaic pieces, and gold wrought in innumerable inventive ways. Dürer, the son of a Nuremberg goldsmith, was flabbergasted. "All the days of my life I have seen nothing that rejoiced my heart so much as these things," he wrote, "for I saw amongst them wonderful works of art." But then, for him, everything was a work of art – either God-made or man-made. His well-known watercolours of a piece of turf and the iridescent wing of a blue roller bird are themselves marvels of creation that show marvels of creation.
For Dürer, even more than for most artists, the world was a place of wonder. If Leonardo da Vinci, his senior by 19 years, looked longest and deepest at natural phenomena – from the flow of water to the action of veins and sinews – Dürer (1471-1528) was in thrall to materiality, where sight became an extension of touch…
As we wonder, we might spare a thought for Ludwig Emil Grimm; he died on this date in 1863. A painter, art professor, etcher, and copper engraver, his subjects included his two brothers, the folklorists Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm.
As we ponder the perception of permanence, we might send polymathic birthday greetings to someone who has so far transcended time– the painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, physicist, chemist, anatomist, botanist, geologist, cartographer, and writer– the archetypical Renaissance Man– Leonardo da Vinci.

Hermina's friend, Have you ever had a lump on your eyelid? Be careful; don't just think of it as a nodule. Yes, it could be a sign that your eyes are not doing well. The problem of lumps on the eyelids that are similar to nodules, one of which is chalazion, Chalazion itself is a swelling or lump that can occur on the eyelids; this lump is also sometimes referred to as an eyelid cyst or meibomian cyst. This lump starts with the accumulation of oil glands (meibomian), which slowly causes a blockage. At first, a lump will usually make the eye feel uncomfortable and can also be painful, but gradually the pain will decrease.
Causes of Chalazion
Chalazion is usually caused by inflammation that occurs in the oil (meibomian) glands in the eyelids. The meibomian glands are used by the eyes as a lubricant needed to moisturize and protect the eyes. Inflammation that occurs in the meibomian glands causes the lubricant produced to thicken and become a blockage in the meibomian gland ducts. In addition to blockages, infection can be one of the causes.
Risk Factors
Apart from being caused by a blockage or infection, several risk factors can cause Friends of Hermina to get chalazion, including :
Suffering from skin diseases such as seborrheic dermatitis or acne rosacea.
Experienced Kalazion before
Suffering from TB (Tuberculosis)
Suffering from inflammation of the eyelids
Chalazion Symptoms
Typical symptoms that occur with chalazion sufferers are usually marked by the appearance of a small lump on the upper eyelid, but it turns out that besides the lump that appears, there are several other symptoms that often occur, including :
Watery eyes
Swelling in the eye area
Mild eye irritation (red eyes)
An uncomfortable sensation in the eyes because there is a feeling of being stuck.
Vision is out of focus if it occurs in a large enough circle.
Chalazion Treatment
In some conditions, chalazions can be treated independently at home. This is because chalazions can improve on their own after a few days or even weeks after a lump appears. Independent therapies that Hermina's friends can do at home include :
Clean the eyelid area 1-2 times a day.
Do a compress on the swollen eyelid area using warm water.
Gently massage the lump to remove fluid from the lump. Make sure your hands are clean so they don't become infected.
If the independent handler has been carried out but the situation has not improved, immediately do an examination with an ophthalmologist at the nearest Hermina Hospital. Friends of Hermina can also do an online consultation through the Halo Hermina application. | eng | d3d2ae3a-bf66-4b1d-af1e-f85ce4b9b020 | https://herminahospitals.com/en/articles/sering-disangka-bintitan-ini-dia-kalazion-benjolan-di-mata-yang-membuat-tidak-nyaman |

You cannot manage something unless you can see it clearly.
Simone
June 4, 2021
And if you want to love yourself, you want to clearly "see" your inner critic and deal with it effectively.
Yes, the inner critic. The demanding and harsh voice in your head that believes you are not good enough. That holds you up to very high standards, doesn't give you a break, makes you feel bad when you do not achieve what you want, and doesn't allow you to celebrate your wins because it thinks that you could have done better.
How can you love yourself when this voice is abusing you without control?
It takes time, dedication and persistence to learn how to deal with your inner critic. But the results are priceless.
Here is a way to start. Take paper and pen.
1. Write down all the thoughts your mind is creating related to a problem you are facing or a situation you want to improve. Do not judge the thoughts your mind is creating; simply capture them on paper.
2. Read your notes and separate the facts from the stories. Usually, there are few facts. Almost all of your thoughts are invented by your mind. For example, "I can't build a business" is a story; "I have two children" is a fact.
3. Question whether the stories your mind is telling yourself are serving you. You don't care if your mind believes the stories are true. A story is a story; it is just a perception and can be changed. Ask yourself if the stories your mind has created benefit you.
4. Select the stories that make you feel bad (= do not serve you), and look for reasons why the opposite might also be true. Create new empowering stories that benefit you and make you feel great. For example, you could ask yourself, "How can I build a business?"
Repeat this simple exercise every day or any time your inner critic shows up.
This exercise allows you to practice stepping back from your thoughts, observe what's happening inside your brain, separate the information that serves you from the one that doesn't, and reframe the latter by creating new empowering stories.
Let me know how it goes, and if you struggle with the exercise, do not hesitate to contact me. I am here | eng | b9587a74-d55a-4b52-92d8-db56a3006ef0 | https://simonecoaching.com/2021/06/04/you-cannot-manage-something-unless-you-can-see-it-clearly/ |
What is VPN?
A for third parties to track your online activity.
A VPN can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
Security: A VPN can protect your online activity from prying eyes by encrypting your data and making it unreadable to hackers, government agencies, and other third parties.
Privacy: A VPN can help you maintain your privacy online by masking your IP address and location, making it difficult for websites and advertisers to track your activity.
Access: A VPN can help you access content that may be restricted in your location, such as streaming services or websites that are blocked by your government or internet service provider.
Overall, a VPN is a useful tool for anyone who wants to protect their online privacy and security, access restricted content, or simply browse the internet anonymously.
Why do I need a VPN?
Privacy and security: A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and hides your IP address, making it difficult for hackers, government agencies, and other third parties to track your online activity.
Access to restricted content: A VPN can help you access content that may be restricted in your location, such as streaming services or websites that are blocked by your government or internet service provider.
Protection on public Wi-Fi: Public Wi-Fi networks are often unsecured, which makes it easy for hackers to intercept your data. A VPN can help protect your data when you're using public Wi-Fi by encrypting your traffic.
Anonymity: A VPN can help you browse the internet anonymously by masking your IP address and location.
Avoiding internet censorship: If you live in a country that censors the internet or blocks certain websites, a VPN can help you bypass these restrictions and access the content you want.
Overall, a VPN can provide you with enhanced privacy, security, and online freedom, making it a useful tool for anyone who wants to protect their online activity and access restricted content.
How to Use a VPN?
Using a VPN is generally a simple and straightforward process. Here are the basic steps to using a VPN:
Choose a VPN service: There are many VPN services available, both free and paid. Research and choose a VPN that meets your needs and budgetBrowse the internet: Once you're connected to a VPN server, you can browse the internet as you normally would. Your internet traffic will be encrypted and routed through the VPN server, which will protect your online activity and hide your IP address.
Disconnect from the VPN: When you're finished using the VPN, disconnect from the VPN server by closing the VPN software or clicking the disconnect button provided by your VPN service.
Overall, using a VPN is a simple process that can provide you with enhanced privacy, security, and online freedom.
How VPN Works
A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, works by creating a secure and private connection between your device and a remote server. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of how a VPN works:
You connect to the internet through your device (e.g. computer, smartphone, or tablet).
You connect to a VPN server through the VPN software on your device. This creates a secure and encrypted connection between your device and the VPN server.
All of your internet traffic is routed through the VPN server. This means that your internet service provider (ISP) cannot see your online activity, and your IP address is masked.
The VPN server decrypts your internet traffic and sends it to its final destination (e.g. a website, streaming service, or online game).
The website, streaming service, or online game sends data back to the VPN server, which encrypts the data and sends it back to your device.
Your device decrypts the data and displays it to you.
Overall, a VPN creates a secure and encrypted connection between your device and a remote server, which protects your online activity and hides your IP address. This can help protect your privacy and security online, as well as provide you with access to content that may be restricted in your location.
How to Set Up a VPN?
The process for setting up a VPN can vary depending on the VPN service you're using and the device you're setting it up on. However, here are some general steps to set up a VPN:
Choose a VPN service: Research and choose a VPN service that meets your needs and budget.
Subscribe to the VPN service: Sign up for a subscription to the VPN service you've chosenConfigure the VPN settings: Depending on the VPN service you're using, you may be able to configure additional settings such as your preferred VPN protocol or the location of the VPN server.
Test the VPN connection: Once you're connected to the VPN server, test the connection by browsing the internet or using other online services.
Overall, setting up a VPN can be a relatively simple process. However, if you have any issues or questions, be sure to consult the documentation provided by your VPN service or contact their customer support for assistance.

ome of turmeric plant decoded
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research in Bhopal have sequenced the genome of turmeric1.
They identified specific genes that help the plant synthesise important secondary metabolites, fight pathogens and tolerate environmental stress. The researchers say this is likely to open up new commercial uses for these metabolites, which have a wide range of medicinal properties.
To better understand the genomic and molecular basis of turmeric's characteristics, the researchers, led by Vineet K Sharma, sequenced the whole genome of the plant by extracting DNA from its leaf tissues.
The team identified more than 50,000 genes that encode specific proteins. Among these they found 172 genes with multiple signs of adaptive evolution. These genes are associated with the plant's secondary metabolism and defence responses against stress conditions such as cold, heat, drought and salinity.
The team also focused on four key genes involved in biosynthesis of three important secondary metabolites – curcumin, demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin.
Genes with multiple signs of adaptive evolution are also associated with jasmonic and salicylic acid signalling pathways. These pathways are important components of plant immune response and play crucial roles in plant-pathogen interactions.
The researchers say these genes evolved gradually, allowing turmeric plants to adapt to diverse environments and develop resistance to various diseases. | eng | 98f85d42-304f-480d-a88f-89e898e5a262 | https://www.nature.com/articles/d44151-021-00065-3?error=cookies_not_supported&code=60b0afa8-1640-48c1-9e8a-7307404d0336 |
FAQs
I use an Orton-Gillingham and a multisensory approach. My instruction addresses the five components of effective reading instruction that were identified by the National Reading Panel's extensive research. These components include: phonemic awareness (sounds), phonics (decoding), fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension.
My lessons are organized in a very logical way and we will progress through a sequence of skills. The starting point is determined based on your child's assessments. Then each one of my lessons builds on the previously learned concepts.
I have a master's degree as a reading specialist along with two bachelor's degrees in early childhood education and human development & family studies. With over 10 years of experience in education, I have been a child care specialist, a classroom teacher, a literacy and math interventionist, and I have developed an early learning program for a nonprofit.
My training focuses on Orton-Gillingham, the Science of Reading, English as a Second Language, and Structured Literacy. I have extensive education in online instruction and am a Google Certified Teacher.
Zoom: I conduct all of my online tutoring sessions through Zoom. It is free for families to download and use! The same Zoom link will be used for each session and can be found in your calendar invite or on Tutorbird. Just click on the link and it takes you to our online session!
Tutorbird: Tutorbird is used to make payments, check invoices, schedule or change sessions, and store all of the materials/resources I use with your child. You will create an account after your FREE consultation.
Recommended: Ipad or touchscreen computer with a stylus pen is ideal, as it makes it easier for students to interact on Zoom
Not Recommended: Preferably not a Chromebook, they do not allow students to use the annotation features on Zoom
Headphones or earbuds that can be plugged into the device. This lets learners hear my voice better and it blocks out any distracting noises. Bluetooth headphones can have problems with consistently connecting.
A quiet place at a table/desk with a chair
Dry erase board with a dark dry erase marker
Other necessary materials will be mailed to you after the first three sessions!
Optional (but helpful): Access to a printer. I send weekly resources that can be printed OR used on a device.
I will contact you to set up a FREE consultation over email, Zoom, or over the phone to discuss your child's interests, dislikes, hobbies, strengths, weaknesses, any concerns you may have, and any questions you may have.
After our initial conversation, a contract will be agreed upon by the child's guardian and we will set up consistent session times!
You will set up a free Tutorbird account, which will be used to schedule, access resources, and pay invoices.
The first session is always FREE. This session includes the start of several initial screeners to assess where we will begin. This session will also allow me to get to know your child and show them all the fun technology features we'll be using!
A student's first session with me will be engaging and enjoyable! The goal for this lesson is for me to learn who your child is as a learner, to get to know each other, and explore all the fun tech features we will be using!
At the same time, this will be a time to begin to assess your student's reading skills and assess what his or her needs are. Screeners would include a phonics assessment (letter sounds and reading skills), a spelling inventory, and a phonological awareness screener.
With an understanding of their likes and dislikes, along with their assessment results, I can plan for their effective lessons.
Click on the Zoom link in your calendar invite 2-4 mins before the lesson starts (a reminder is always emailed out 30 mins before a lesson). You will be placed in a waiting room and I will let your child into the class at the start time.
We do a quick check in (update on how they are doing!), go over our expectations, and schedule for the session.
*Your child gets to interact by using the interactive white board on Zoom, taking control of my computer (kids LOVE this feature, as it allows them to move things around on my screen!) the multi-sensory materials I send to your home, an actual whiteboard, and so much more.
I make online tutoring very interactive! There is no sitting and just listening to me talk.
Working 1-on-1 with students isn't something that happens a lot in the classroom. Teachers are managing 25+ kids with 25+ different needs. Typically, students receive large/small group instruction.
When you tutor you get a 1-on-1 session that is geared towards your child's learning needs. Your child will benefit from the undivided attention of a licensed Reading Specialist. Personalized lessons allow students to ask questions, participate 100% of the time, and have the lesson designed to meet their needs.
Remote learning did not work well for every child. However, 1-on-1 virtual tutoring will be a different experience. Unlike an online classroom where your child may find it very difficult to keep up, participate, or stay engaged, a personalized tutoring session enables them to learn at their own pace.
Online tutoring through the Early Learning Place is very interactive. Your child will not just be staring at a screen! They will be participating using multi-sensory materials, writing words, reading decodables, movement, playing games, etc..
This is not a simple answer and is based on several factors! Like your child's specific struggles/needs, their age (there is a much smaller gap to fill for younger students and a much larger one for older students), consistency with tutoring, learning speed, etc…
Students must be proficient in one reading skill before moving onto the next. We will move as slow as we need to and as fast as we can to build a strong foundation. Luckily, with 1:1 tutoring your child can get exactly what they need at the exact right time. This allows for growth to happen quicker!
You already are! You clearly are invested in helping your learner! Helping at home can be challenging since the vast majority of adults have learned to read differently. Science of Reading reveals how our brains acquire and learn to read and spell, which is contrary to how most adults were taught (and sadly many teachers do not have the training to help students learn to read and spell)!
I will send you weekly suggestions on words to practice and how to practice them, a decodable to print and read at home, and other activities created just for your child (game boards, practice sheets, etc…) | eng | 4edff227-b3c2-4c4d-a36c-738fac1fe1c4 | https://theearlylearningplace.com/pricing-faq/ |

Food as a fungible commodity
All around the internet, you can find vigorous discussions about how, with the impending risk of international economic meltdown brought about by massive overspending, the smart bet is to invest in things like gold, which is a fungible commodity that will retain its value even if the rest of the economy self-destructs.
While, in some ways, this exhortation to invest in things like gold makes all kinds of sense, typical economic-downturn commodities like it have many disadvantages: they're expensive, hard to move in quantity, limited in availability, and difficult to produce. These disadvantages mean that, even if one accumulates quite a bit of them, they will be harder to use when the time comes and will eventually run out.
On the other hand, food is also a fungible commodity, and while it often lacks the durability of other commodities, it has the significant advantages of being cheaper, easier to move in quantity, largely available if you want it to be, and surprisingly easy to produce. In fact, before precious metals, gem stones, and oil, food was the currency de jure in most parts of the world for millenia.
What is so amazing about food production is that almost anyone can do it, even on marginal land or land often presupposed not to be agricultural. As I have challenged everyone to do in my "10-10 Challenge" and is discussed in a variety of books like You Can Farm, Small-scale Grain Raising, and The One Straw Revolution, just about anyone can produce quite a bit of food on small plots of land with minimal investments of time and effort. Historically, families in the East have fed themselves and sold surplus off plots as small as a quarter of an acre, which includes raising livestock.
The beauty of small-scale food production is that, if the economy does tank, the food you produce will still have value–perhaps even more value than it did previously. Further, unlike traditional economy beating investments, producing your own food means that you do not have to rely on someone else to produce that food for you, which then means that the other fungible assets you might have accumulated are now available to procure all sorts of other things.
Even if you don't want to produce your own food, you can still invest in food as a commodity against economic disaster. The company Heirloom Organics sells investment grade seed packs designed for long-term storage and that contain open-pollinated, heirloom crop seeds that will become very valuable if the economy collapses. Companies like Emergency Essentials sell supplies of long-term storage foods like cereal grains and legumes. Even if one does not use these food items himself, they can become a valuable commodity in the case of economic hardship.
Of course, my underlying argument here is that everyone should establish a higher level of self-sufficiency by growing their own food, one of the benefits of such activity being that it can act as insulation against economic hardship. Doing such a thing seems like a double benefit and an easy choice to me. | eng | d842a546-04fd-4324-b522-648073be382e | http://dennis.hitzeman.com/blog/2010/10/04/food-as-a-fungible-commodity/ |

Bullets Over Broadway, a musical based on the Woody Allen film, fits an undemanding appetite for light entertainment at the Kravis Center. But it's what some theater fans call a "Why Musical," as in why bother musicalizing the original near-perfect property. | eng | 0e576f0b-280b-4736-b0ec-165a010b6973 | http://www.floridatheateronstage.com/tag/susan-stroman/ |
Hope this helps. This is because when we multiply it with a likelihood function, posterior distribution yields a form similar to the prior distribution which is much easier to relate to and understand. Or in the language of the example above: The probability of rain given that we have seen clouds is equal to the probability of rain and clouds occuring together, relative to the probability of seeing clouds at all. Lets visualize both the beliefs on a graph: > library(stats) of heads. As more and more flips are made and new data is observed, our beliefs get updated. Most books on Bayesian statistics use mathematical notation and present ideas in terms of mathematical concepts like calculus. 1) I didn't understand very well why the C.I. Do we expect to see the same result in both the cases ? Read it now. I've tried to explain the concepts in a simplistic manner with examples. y<-dbeta(x,shape1=alpha[i],shape2=beta[i]) Thx for this great explanation. In several situations, it does not help us solve business problems, even though there is data involved in these problems. The entire goal of Bayesian inference is to provide us with a rational and mathematically sound procedure for incorporating our prior beliefs, with any evidence at hand, in order to produce an updated posterior belief. At the start we have no prior belief on the fairness of the coin, that is, we can say that any level of fairness is equally likely. That is, as our experience grows, it is possible to update the probability calculation to reflect that new knowledge. Bayes Theorem comes into effect when multiple events form an exhaustive set with another event B. The denominator is there just to ensure that the total probability density function upon integration evaluates to 1. α and β are called the shape deciding parameters of the density function. When there was no toss we believed that every fairness of coin is possible as depicted by the flat line. Bayesian statistics uses the word probability in precisely the same sense in which this word is used in everyday language, as a conditional measure of uncertainty associated with the occurrence of a particular event, given the available information and the accepted assumptions. CI is the probability of the intervals containing the population parameter i.e 95% CI would mean 95% of intervals would contain the population parameter whereas in HDI it is the presence of a population parameter in an interval with 95% probability. Bayesian Statistics For Dummies Author: ��Juliane Hahn Subject: ��Bayesian Statistics For Dummies Keywords: Bayesian Statistics For Dummies,Download Bayesian Statistics For Dummies,Free download Bayesian Statistics For Dummies,Bayesian Statistics For Dummies PDF Ebooks, Read Bayesian Statistics For Dummies PDF Books,Bayesian Statistics For Dummies PDF Ebooks,Free … i.e If two persons work on the same data and have different stopping intention, they may get two different p- values for the same data, which is undesirable. Contributed by Kate Cowles, Rob Kass and Tony O'Hagan. Inferential Statistics – Sampling Distribution, Central Limit Theorem and Confidence Interval, OpenAI's Future of Vision: Contrastive Language Image Pre-training(CLIP), The drawbacks of frequentist statistics lead to the need for Bayesian Statistics, Discover Bayesian Statistics and Bayesian Inference, There are various methods to test the significance of the model like p-value, confidence interval, etc, The Inherent Flaws in Frequentist Statistics, Test for Significance – Frequentist vs Bayesian, Linear Algebra : To refresh your basics, you can check out, Probability and Basic Statistics : To refresh your basics, you can check out. Then, the experiment is theoretically repeated infinite number of times but practically done with a stopping intention. We can interpret p values as (taking an example of p-value as 0.02 for a distribution of mean 100) : There is 2% probability that the sample will have mean equal to 100. An example question in this vein might be "What is the probability of rain occuring given that there are clouds in the sky?". I blog about Bayesian data analysis. Suppose, you observed 80 heads (z=80) in 100 flips(N=100). It's a high time that both the philosophies are merged to mitigate the real world problems by addressing the flaws of the other. (M2). correct it is an estimation, and you correct for the uncertainty in. But the question is: how much ? So, if you were to bet on the winner of next race, who would he be ? Since HDI is a probability, the 95% HDI gives the 95% most credible values. Quantitative skills are now in high demand not only in the financial sector but also at consumer technology startups, as well as larger data-driven firms. So, there are several functions which support the existence of bayes theorem. > x=seq(0,1,by=o.1) I like it and I understand about concept Bayesian. Yet in science thereusually is some prior knowledge about the process being measured. Without wanting to suggest that one approach or the other is better, I don't think this article fulfilled its objective of communicating in "simple English". The product of these two gives the posterior belief P(θ|D) distribution. Lets understand this with the help of a simple example: Suppose, you think that a coin is biased. So that by substituting the defintion of conditional probability we get: Finally, we can substitute this into Bayes' rule from above to obtain an alternative version of Bayes' rule, which is used heavily in Bayesian inference: Now that we have derived Bayes' rule we are able to apply it to statistical inference. Thanks for the much needed comprehensive article. In the following box, we derive Bayes' rule using the definition of conditional probability. Steve's friend received a positive test for a disease. A parameter could be the weighting of an unfair coin, which we could label as $\theta$. This is an extremely useful mathematical result, as Beta distributions are quite flexible in modelling beliefs. y<-dbeta(x,shape1=alpha[i],shape2=beta[i]) We have not yet discussed Bayesian methods in any great detail on the site so far. Models are the mathematical formulation of the observed events. of heads is it correct? a p-value says something about the population. could be good to apply this equivalence in research? We can actually write: This is possible because the events $A$ are an exhaustive partition of the sample space. Overall Incidence Rate The disease occurs in 1 in 1,000 people, regardless of the test results. For example: 1. p-values measured against a sample (fixed size) statistic with some stopping intention changes with change in intention and sample size. List of ebooks and manuels about Bayesian statistics for dummies. For every night that passes, the application of Bayesian inference will tend to correct our prior belief to a posterior belief that the Moon is less and less likely to collide with the Earth, since it remains in orbit. It states that we have equal belief in all values of $\theta$ representing the fairness of the coin. Frequentist statistics tries to eliminate uncertainty by providing estimates. A p-value less than 5% does not guarantee that null hypothesis is wrong nor a p-value greater than 5% ensures that null hypothesis is right. However, if you consider it for a moment, we are actually interested in the alternative question - "What is the probability that the coin is fair (or unfair), given that I have seen a particular sequence of heads and tails?". It looks like Bayes Theorem. Before to read this post I was thinking in this way: the real mean of population is between the range given by the CI with a, for example, 95%), 2) I read a recent paper which states that rejecting the null hypothesis by bayes factor at <1/10 could be equivalent as assuming a p value <0.001 for reject the null hypothesis (actually, I don't remember very well the exact values, but the idea of makeing this equivalence is correct? After 20 trials, we have seen a few more tails appear. Regarding p-value , what you said is correct- Given your hypothesis, the probability………. To define our model correctly , we need two mathematical models before hand. Our Bayesian procedure using the conjugate Beta distributions now allows us to update to a posterior density. Moreover since C.I is not a probability distribution , there is no way to know which values are most probable. Versions in WinBUGS which is available free. I have some questions that I would like to ask! Let's try to answer a betting problem with this technique. To understand the problem at hand, we need to become familiar with some concepts, first of which is conditional probability (explained below). In panel B (shown), the left bar is the posterior probability of the null hypothesis. Thus we are interested in the probability distribution which reflects our belief about different possible values of $\theta$, given that we have observed some data $D$. Archives. To reject a null hypothesis, a BF <1/10 is preferred. Bayesian statistics for dummies. It calculates the probability of an event in the long run of the experiment (i.e the experiment is repeated under the same conditions to obtain the outcome). True Positive Rate 99% of people with the disease have a positive test. "do not provide the most probable value for a parameter and the most probable values". unweighted) six-sided die repeatedly, we would see that each number on the die tends to come up 1/6 of the time. Let's find it out. understanding Bayesian statistics • P(A|B) means "the probability of A on the condition that B has occurred" • Adding conditions makes a huge difference to evaluating probabilities • On a randomly-chosen day in CAS , P(free pizza) ~ 0.2 • P(free pizza|Monday) ~ 1 , P(free pizza|Tuesday) ~ 0 The dark energy puzzleWhat is conditional probability? It starts off with a prior belief based on the user's estimations and goes about updating that based on the data observed. In the example, we know four facts: 1. In this, the t-score for a particular sample from a sampling distribution of fixed size is calculated. As more and more evidence is accumulated our prior beliefs are steadily "washed out" by any new data. "Bayesian statistics is a mathematical procedure that applies probabilities to statistical problems. How can I know when the other posts in this series are released? False Positive Rate … The visualizations were just perfect to establish the concepts discussed. Let me know in comments. I didn't knew much about Bayesian statistics, however this article helped me improve my understanding of Bayesian statistics. After 50 and 500 trials respectively, we are now beginning to believe that the fairness of the coin is very likely to be around $\theta=0.5$. It has some very nice mathematical properties which enable us to model our beliefs about a binomial distribution. 0 Comments Leave a Reply. This indicates that our prior belief of equal likelihood of fairness of the coin, coupled with 2 new data points, leads us to believe that the coin is more likely to be unfair (biased towards heads) than it is tails. A natural example question to ask is "What is the probability of seeing 3 heads in 8 flips (8 Bernoulli trials), given a fair coin ($\theta=0.5$)?". Nice visual to represent Bayes theorem, thanks. How to implement advanced trading strategies using time series analysis, machine learning and Bayesian statistics with R and Python. But, what if one has no previous experience? share | cite | improve this answer | follow | edited Dec 17 '14 at 22:48. community wiki 4 revs, 4 users 43% Jeromy Anglim $\endgroup$ $\begingroup$ @Amir's suggestion is a duplicate of this. Thanks. Yes, it has been updated. > for(i in 1:length(alpha)){ of tosses) – no. ": Note that $P(A \cap B) = P(B \cap A)$ and so by substituting the above and multiplying by $P(A)$, we get: We are now able to set the two expressions for $P(A \cap B)$ equal to each other: If we now divide both sides by $P(B)$ we arrive at the celebrated Bayes' rule: However, it will be helpful for later usage of Bayes' rule to modify the denominator, $P(B)$ on the right hand side of the above relation to be written in terms of $P(B|A)$. Business statistics for dummies free hp laptops pdf toshiba laptops pdf. What do you do, sir?" Good post and keep it up … very useful…. Good stuff. Part III will be based on creating a Bayesian regression model from scratch and interpreting its results in R. So, before I start with Part II, I would like to have your suggestions / feedback on this article. What we have seen now is the process known as Bayesian Updating or Bayesian Inference. It has become clear to me that many of you are interested in learning about the modern mathematical techniques that underpin not only quantitative finance and algorithmic trading, but also the newly emerging fields of data science and statistical machine learning. I agree this post isn't about the debate on which is better- Bayesian or Frequentist. The mathematical definition of conditional probability is as follows: This simply states that the probability of $A$ occuring given that $B$ has occured is equal to the probability that they have both occured, relative to the probability that $B$ has occured. Now, we'll understand frequentist statistics using an example of coin toss. In this case too, we are bound to get different p-values. This is denoted by $P(\theta|D)$. Bayesisn stat. This is incorrect. This is carried out using a particularly mathematically succinct procedure using conjugate priors. Did you miss the index i of A in the general formula of the Bayes' theorem on the left hand side of the equation (section 3.2)? 3- Confidence Intervals (C.I) are not probability distributions therefore they do not provide the most probable value for a parameter and the most probable values. It provides us with mathematical tools to update our beliefs about random events in light of seeing new data or evidence about those events. What we now know as Bayesian statistics has not had a clear run since 1. When I first encountered it, I did what most people probably do. If we knew that coin was fair, this gives the probability of observing the number of heads in a particular number of flips. Lets represent the happening of event B by shading it with red. Bayesian statistics adjusted credibility (probability) of various values of θ. Part II of this series will focus on the Dimensionality Reduction techniques using MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) algorithms. In statistical language we are going to perform $N$ repeated Bernoulli trials with $\theta = 0.5$. If they assign a probability between 0 and 1 allows weighted confidence in other potential outcomes. Author. Think! I think, you should write the next guide on Bayesian in the next time. "Since HDI is a probability, the 95% HDI gives the 95% most credible values. We can see the immediate benefits of using Bayes Factor instead of p-values since they are independent of intentions and sample size. i.e P(D|θ), We should be more interested in knowing : Given an outcome (D) what is the probbaility of coin being fair (θ=0.5). As such, Bayesian statistics provides a much more complete picture of the uncertainty in the estimation of the unknown parameters, especially after the confounding effects of nuisance parameters are removed. of heads and beta = no. Parameters are the factors in the models affecting the observed data. In particular Bayesian inference interprets probability as a measure of believability or confidence that an individual may possess about the occurance of a particular event. Thanks for share this information in a simple way! Hey one question `difference` -> 0.5*(No. Let's calculate posterior belief using bayes theorem. Conveniently, under the binomial model, if we use a Beta distribution for our prior beliefs it leads to a Beta distribution for our posterior beliefs. I would like to inform you beforehand that it is just a misnomer. Preface run the code (and. What if you are told that it rained once when James won and once when Niki won and it is definite that it will rain on the next date. It makes use of SciPy's statistics model, in particular, the Beta distribution: I'd like to give special thanks to my good friend Jonathan Bartlett, who runs TheStatsGeek.com, for reading drafts of this article and for providing helpful advice on interpretation and corrections. For different sample sizes, we get different t-scores and different p-values. A Little Book of R For Bayesian Statistics, Release 0.1 3.Click on the "Start" button at the bottom left of your computer screen, and then choose "All programs", and start R by selecting "R" (or R X.X.X, where X.X.X gives the version of R, eg. Bayesian Statistics (a very brief introduction) Ken Rice Epi 516, Biost 520 1.30pm, T478, April 4, 2018 See also Smith and Gelfand (1992) and O'Hagan and Forster (2004). I am deeply excited about the times we live in and the rate at which data is being generated and being transformed as an asset. Don't worry. Let's see how our prior and posterior beliefs are going to look: Posterior = P(θ|z+α,N-z+β)=P(θ|93.8,29.2). Bayesian statistics uses a single tool, Bayes' theorem. This makes the stopping potential absolutely absurd since no matter how many persons perform the tests on the same data, the results should be consistent. It is the most widely used inferential technique in the statistical world. The Amazon Book Review Book recommendations, author interviews, editors' picks, and more. To know more about frequentist statistical methods, you can head to this excellent course on inferential statistics. Bayes factor is defined as the ratio of the posterior odds to the prior odds. So, if you were to bet on the winner of next race, who would he be ? Now, posterior distribution of the new data looks like below. Keep this in mind. I have studied Bayesian statistics at master's degree level and now teach it to undergraduates. Isn't it true? The next panel shows 2 trials carried out and they both come up heads. As more tosses are done, and heads continue to come in larger proportion the peak narrows increasing our confidence in the fairness of the coin value. As Keynes once said, \When the facts change, I change my mind. @Nikhil …Thanks for bringing it to the notice. Over the last few years we have spent a good deal of time on QuantStart considering option price models, time series analysis and quantitative trading. Hence we are now starting to believe that the coin is possibly fair. Then, p-values are predicted. It should be no.of heads – 0.5(No.of tosses). (2011). We wish to calculate the probability of A given B has already happened. Thus it can be seen that Bayesian inference gives us a rational procedure to go from an uncertain situation with limited information to a more certain situation with significant amounts of data. At this stage, it just allows us to easily create some visualisations below that emphasises the Bayesian procedure! This interpretation suffers from the flaw that for sampling distributions of different sizes, one is bound to get different t-score and hence different p-value. What makes it such a valuable technique is that posterior beliefs can themselves be used as prior beliefs under the generation of new data. So, we learned that: It is the probability of observing a particular number of heads in a particular number of flips for a given fairness of coin. What if you are told that it raine… bayesian statistics for dummies - Bayesian Statistics Bayesian Statistics and Marketing (Wiley Series in Probability and Statistics) The past decade has seen a dramatic increase in the use of Bayesian methods in marketing due, in part, to computational and modelling breakthroughs, making its implementation ideal for many marketing problems. Thank you and keep them coming. Both are different things. A model helps us to ascertain the probability of seeing this data, $D$, given a value of the parameter $\theta$. It is also guaranteed that 95 % values will lie in this interval unlike C.I. This article has been written to help you understand the "philosophy" of the Bayesian approach, how it compares to the traditional/classical frequentist approach to statistics and the potential applications in both quantitative finance and data science. Join the QSAlpha research platform that helps fill your strategy research pipeline, diversifies your portfolio and improves your risk-adjusted returns for increased profitability. P(B) is 1/4, since James won only one race out of four. I was not pleased when I saw Bayesian statistics were missing from the index but those ideas are mentioned as web bonus material. Out-of-the-box NLP functionalities for your project using Transformers Library! Let me explain it with an example: Suppose, out of all the 4 championship races (F1) between Niki Lauda and James hunt, Niki won 3 times while James managed only 1. I googled "What is Bayesian statistics?". Although I lost my way a little towards the end(Bayesian factor), appreciate your effort! In the first sub-plot we have carried out no trials and hence our probability density function (in this case our prior density) is the uniform distribution. Set A represents one set of events and Set B represents another. Thank you, NSS for this wonderful introduction to Bayesian statistics. Let's understand it in detail now. Enter your mobile number or email address below and we'll send you a link to download the free Kindle App. By John Paul Mueller, Luca Massaron . (The full title of the book is "Doing Bayesian Data Analysis: A Tutorial with R and BUGS".) Bayes theorem is built on top of conditional probability and lies in the heart of Bayesian Inference. P(D|θ) is the likelihood of observing our result given our distribution for θ. and well, stopping intentions do play a role. Calculating posterior belief using Bayes Theorem. January 2017. Now I m learning Phyton because I want to apply it to my research (I m biologist!). From here, we'll first understand the basics of Bayesian Statistics. How to find new trading strategy ideas and objectively assess them for your portfolio using a Python-based backtesting engine. Confidence Intervals also suffer from the same defect. For completeness, I've provided the Python code (heavily commented) for producing this plot. In order to demonstrate a concrete numerical example of Bayesian inference it is necessary to introduce some new notation.

The Basics of Poker
Poker is a card game played by two or more people. It has become a popular spectator sport due to television shows featuring poker tournaments and the rise of online poker games. The game is a mixture of chance and skill. The best players are adept at reading other players, have patience, and can adapt their strategy to the situation at hand. They also have the ability to calculate pot odds and percentages quickly.
The player with the highest ranked poker hand wins the pot, which is all of the money that has been placed in bets for the current hand. The winner is determined at the end of each betting round. Each player receives 2 personal cards in their hands and the remaining 5 community cards are revealed on the table. During the betting rounds, each player may place an amount of money into the pot (ante, blind, or bring-in) to participate in that round.
When deciding whether to call, raise, or fold, it is important to think about how much the other players will bet and what their chances are of having a good hand. A strong poker hand is comprised of matching cards of the same rank or consecutive cards of different ranks. A straight or flush contains 5 consecutive cards of the same suit, while a full house is composed of 3 matching cards of one rank and 2 matching cards of another rank, and a pair has two identical cards of the same rank.
To begin a betting round, the player to the left of the dealer places an initial bet into the pot, called an ante. This bet is usually small and is made to encourage all players to continue betting. Depending on the rules of the game, other players may also be required to place an initial amount into the pot before their turn. These bets are called blinds and come in the form of cash or chips.
After the antes and blinds have been placed, all players reveal their cards and the highest ranking hand wins the pot. Players may bluff during the hand by betting that their hand is higher ranked than the other players'. If they are successful, the other players will stop betting and drop out of the hand.
Poker is a complicated game that requires a lot of practice and observation of other players to develop quick instincts. The best players are able to read the other players at the table and make decisions that will increase their chances of winning. They have the mental toughness to stay calm after a bad beat and remember that there will be more good hands than bad ones. They will not let their emotions get ahead of them and will focus on improving their game. Those who can do this will eventually find themselves winning at a much higher rate than they are currently breaking even. | eng | 3023ec74-b1b8-496a-869d-68bd55072d0b | https://love2createitall.com/the-basics-of-poker-14/ |
How to keep your house cool during a heatwave
The MET Office has issued a rare Amber, extreme heat weather warning after consultations with Public Health England. The warning says to prepare for temperatures to reach a staggering 35 degrees in some areas of the UK. There have also been concerns regarding people's health and wellbeing during such extreme weather conditions. The vast majority of people do not have air-conditioning in their homes, and the rising heat presents a lot of challenges.
As much as we enjoy visiting idyllic locations, and sitting by the pool with a good book, it's not quite the same at home when you're stuck to your bedsheets, unable to sleep and have to start work in 3 hours.
Here are 10 tips for keeping your house cool during a heatwave
1. Close all windows, blinds & curtains
Ensure that all windows and exterior doors are closed to prevent hot air from entering into the home.
Close any blinds and windows as glass creates a reflective glare which creates heat and in extreme cases in can result in a fire. Once the temperature drops, open any windows, curtains and doors to allow cool air into the house.
2. Prepare ice-water bowls
This simple but very effective solution is very easy to prepare, fill up as many bowls as possible with cold water. Add some ice cubes into each bowl, you can buy big bags of ice cubes from most supermarkets if you have none prepared, and place the bowls around the house. This will create cooler air in each of the rooms and help to bring the temperature down.
This method is especially effective when placing the water bowls in front of, or directly under ceiling fans, not only will this help to keep the water cold for longer, but it will also. Circulate the cool air around the house.
3. Eat Alfresco
Many of us do not need an excuse to fire up the BBQ and preparing food outside is a great way to keep the house cool. This method of cooking means you won't have to use the oven or hob, which is ideal as they create a lot of heat.
Many supermarkets stock disposable BBQ's that are easy to use, or an alternative is to have a picnic serving a selection of sandwiches, salads and pastries. By cooking food outside, it keeps any excess heat out, and it also provides the perfect opportunity for you to enjoy your outdoor space.
4. Freeze bed linen & pyjamas
As much as many of us would like to retreat into our freezers on a hot day, the idea is impractical, and as whacky as it seems, freezing clothing and bed linen are one of the most ingenious hacks around.
Simply pop any bed sheets, pillowcases and pyjamas into a plastic bag and tie it closed. Pop the sealed bag in to the freezer for a few hours before going to bed.
5. Switch the lightbulbs
Using natural light as often as you can, will save energy and money, but when needs must, consider switching the lightbulbs to reduce the heat throughout the house.
Many of us are unaware of how much heat is generated from ceiling lights and lamps, especially those fitted with halogen lightbulbs. Switching to LED bulbs is a far better way of lighting up space when trying to keep the house cool.
6. Turn off all unnecessary devices
Devices such as consoles and televisions give off a lot of heat and this also applies when on "stand by" mode. The majority of machines have internal fans to stop them from overheating, the fans work to extract any hot air from the machine, which is then circulated around the room.
To avoid this, turn off all machines and devices that are not in use so that no warm air is created unnecessarily. To avoid this, turn off all machines and devices that are not in use and unplug them to make sure they are off.
7. Dry Laundry Outside
Avoid using the tumble dryer and dry any washing outdoors on a clothes maiden or washing line.
Tumble dryers produce a lot of heat and it can be impossible to get rid of on a hot day. Another alternative is to do the washing on a cooler day, there is no judgment here.
8. Turn a hot water bottle into an ice pack
If you don't have an ice pack to hand, don't panic, this nifty hack is very effective for calming temperatures, saving the day when a cold compress is required and it is also ideal for pets to lean on and sleep by on a hot day.
Fill the hot water bottle with cold water, secure the lid and allow it to freeze. Once frozen, it can be carried around or placed in bed for a couple of hours before you go to sleep. Cooling any sheets helps to achieve restful sleep.
9. Take Cooler Showers
The Shower creates a lot of steam, which is virtually impossible to get rid of without ventilating the area.
Open the windows when you take a shower so if any steam is created, it has a way to escape, and it's wise to allow wet hair to air dry instead of using a hairdryer.
10. Sleep Downstairs
As heat rises, the upstairs will always be the warmest area of the house, and during such intense heat, it will be much more comfortable to nap or sleep downstairs.
Sleeping downstairs is handy when you have little ones as it can make an otherwise uncomfortable and restless night more fun. We hope these tips help in making the heat a little more bearable. Take care, use SPF & stay hydrated. | eng | e6039a93-3da5-4556-a08e-db98afbbfabc | https://www.markkingproperties.co.uk/how-to-keep-your-house-cool-during-a-heatwave/ |

Understanding how motor planning affects social skills
Children with motor planning difficulties use their strengths to overcome their weaknesses in ideation, motor planning and adaptation. They request familiar things (foods included). They become the directors of their world – telling other kids how to play the games, telling teachers how they want to solve the math problem or form their letters, telling parents in which order to complete the bedtime routine. They excuse themselves from novel experiences – responding, "I don't know" when asked what they would like to do, saying "no thanks" when offered to play a new game, or on the more common side of things walking or running away when something new occurs in play or social interactions particularly when it is unexpected. These cues tell us that the social situation they are in is hard for them and there is likely a motor planning weakness to blame. If these subtle cues for regaining security are missed (which they often are in our busy world) then the feeling of threat increases and they may enter fight mode. This is when physical responses are seen – hitting, pushing, spitting. Since the more subtle signs of an underlying motor planning challenge have been missed, this response is seen as bad behavior and often treated as such.
By understanding the underlying sensory motor weakness and validating the emotional response experienced because of this weakness, we can enter a state of mutual problem solving. When we enter shared problem solving with our sensory kids with dyspraxia we are working on the ideation, planning and sequencing capacities that are weak. We are forming positive social habits that lead them into engagement with others. We are reframing their emotional response of "I can't" to "I can" and building resilience and persistence. We are improving social skills and emotional regulation.
The next time you feel like your child is being "bossy" and "inflexible" or if she is demonstrating challenging social behaviors, think about the possibility of motor planning weaknesses being the cause. Name their experience, validate their emotions and get into a conversation about how to solve the real problem at hand. | eng | ccba93bc-acdf-4d8b-9ee2-ffec44969301 | https://www.hychecenter.com/about-6 |

Birth control is a highly debated topic, especially when it comes to the potential carcinogenic effects of certain forms of contraception. While some studies have suggested that certain forms of birth control may increase the risk of certain types of cancer, other studies have found no link between the two. This debate has caused confusion and concern among many women who are considering using birth control. In this article, we will explore the current debate surrounding birth control and carcinogen concerns, and discuss the potential risks and benefits of different forms of contraception. We will also look at the evidence for and against the potential link between birth control and cancer, and provide some tips for making an informed decision about contraception.
Exploring the Link Between Birth Control and Carcinogen Exposure: What You Need to Know
The use of birth control is a common practice among many women, but it is important to be aware of the potential risks associated with certain types of contraception. Recent studies have suggested that certain types of birth control may be linked to an increased risk of exposure to carcinogens. This article will provide an overview of the research on this topic and discuss what women should know about the potential risks associated with birth control.
The most commonly used form of birth control is the oral contraceptive pill, which contains synthetic hormones that prevent ovulation and thus prevent pregnancy. However, some studies have suggested that these hormones may increase the risk of exposure to carcinogens. For example, one study found that women who used oral contraceptives had higher levels of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in their urine than women who did not use oral contraceptives. PAHs are known to be carcinogenic and can be found in cigarette smoke, vehicle exhaust, and other sources of air pollution.
Other studies have suggested that certain types of intrauterine devices (IUDs) may also increase the risk of exposure to carcinogens. IUDs are small, T-shaped devices that are inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. Some studies have found that IUDs may increase the risk of exposure to dioxins, which are known to be carcinogenic.
It is important to note that the research on this topic is still in its early stages and more research is needed to fully understand the potential risks associated with birth control. However, it is important for women to be aware of the potential risks and to discuss them with their healthcare provider. Women should also be aware of the potential sources of carcinogens in their environment and take steps to reduce their exposure.
In conclusion, there is some evidence to suggest that certain types of birth control may be linked to an increased risk of exposure to carcinogens. However, more research is needed to fully understand the potential risks associated with birth control. Women should be aware of the potential risks and discuss them with their healthcare provider. They should also take steps to reduce their exposure to carcinogens in their environment.
Investigating the Potential Health Risks of Carcinogens in Birth Control: What the Research Says
The potential health risks associated with the use of birth control containing carcinogens is a growing concern among many women. Carcinogens are substances that can cause cancer, and some birth control products contain them. While research is ongoing, there is evidence that suggests that certain types of birth control may increase the risk of certain types of cancer.
The most commonly used form of birth control is the oral contraceptive pill. This type of birth control contains hormones, such as estrogen and progestin, which can act as carcinogens. Studies have shown that women who take oral contraceptives for more than five years have an increased risk of developing breast cancer. Additionally, women who take oral contraceptives for more than 10 years have an increased risk of developing cervical cancer.
Another type of birth control that contains carcinogens is the intrauterine device (IUD). IUDs are small, T-shaped devices that are inserted into the uterus to prevent pregnancy. IUDs contain copper, which is a known carcinogen. Studies have shown that women who use IUDs have an increased risk of developing ovarian cancer.
In addition to the potential health risks associated with the use of birth control containing carcinogens, there are also other potential risks. For example, some birth control products contain synthetic hormones, which can increase the risk of blood clots and stroke. Additionally, some birth control products can increase the risk of depression and anxiety.
It is important to note that the potential health risks associated with the use of birth control containing carcinogens are still being studied. While there is evidence that suggests that certain types of birth control may increase the risk of certain types of cancer, more research is needed to determine the exact risks. Women should talk to their healthcare provider about the potential risks and benefits of using birth control containing carcinogens.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the debate surrounding birth control and carcinogen concerns is complex and multifaceted. While there is evidence to suggest that certain types of birth control may increase the risk of certain types of cancer, the overall risk is still relatively low. It is important to weigh the risks and benefits of any form of birth control before making a decision, and to discuss any concerns with a healthcare provider. Ultimately, the decision of which form of birth control to use is a personal one, and should be made with the help of a healthcare provider.
Nutrition is an important part of our overall health and wellbeing. Unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation out there about nutrition and what constitutes a healthy diet. It can be difficult to know what to believe and what to ignore. In this article, we will explore some of the most common nutrition myths and provide facts to help you make informed dietary choices. We will look at the science behind the myths and provide evidence-based advice to help you make the best decisions for your health.
Debunking the Myths: Separating Fact from Fiction in Popular Nutrition Advice
Nutrition advice is everywhere, from the internet to magazines to television. Unfortunately, much of this advice is based on myths and misconceptions rather than scientific evidence. To help you make informed decisions about your diet, this article will debunk some of the most common nutrition myths.
Myth 1: Eating late at night causes weight gain.
Fact: Eating late at night does not cause weight gain. What matters most is the total number of calories consumed throughout the day, not when they are eaten. Eating late at night can be unhealthy if it leads to overeating, but it is not the cause of weight gain.
Myth 2: Eating fat makes you fat.
Fact: Eating fat does not make you fat. Eating too many calories, regardless of the source, can lead to weight gain. Fat is an important part of a healthy diet and should not be avoided.
Myth 3: Eating carbohydrates makes you gain weight.
Fact: Eating carbohydrates does not make you gain weight. Eating too many calories, regardless of the source, can lead to weight gain. Carbohydrates are an important part of a healthy diet and should not be avoided.
Myth 4: Eating organic food is healthier.
Fact: Eating organic food is not necessarily healthier. Organic foods are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, but they may still contain harmful bacteria or other contaminants. The nutritional content of organic and non-organic foods is similar, so it is not necessary to buy organic to get the most nutrition from your food.
Myth 5: Eating breakfast is essential for weight loss.
Fact: Eating breakfast is not essential for weight loss. Eating breakfast can be beneficial for some people, but it is not necessary for everyone. Eating breakfast can help to regulate blood sugar levels and provide energy for the day, but it is not a requirement for weight loss.
By understanding the facts behind popular nutrition advice, you can make informed decisions about your diet. Remember, the most important thing is to eat a balanced diet that includes a variety of healthy foods.
Exploring the Science Behind Common Nutrition Myths: What the Research Really Says
The world of nutrition is filled with myths and misconceptions. From the idea that eating late at night causes weight gain to the belief that all carbohydrates are bad, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction. However, it is important to understand the science behind nutrition in order to make informed decisions about what we eat. This article will explore the research behind some of the most common nutrition myths and provide insight into what the evidence really says.
Myth 1: Eating Late at Night Causes Weight Gain
This is a popular belief, but the research does not support it. Studies have found that the timing of meals does not have a significant effect on weight gain or loss. What matters more is the total number of calories consumed over the course of the day. Eating late at night may lead to overeating, but this is not necessarily due to the time of day.
Myth 2: All Carbohydrates are Bad
Carbohydrates are an important part of a healthy diet and should not be avoided. Complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains, legumes, and starchy vegetables, provide essential nutrients and fiber. Refined carbohydrates, such as white bread and sugary snacks, should be limited, but they can still be part of a balanced diet.
Myth 3: Eating Fat Makes You Fat
This is another myth that has been debunked by research. Eating fat does not necessarily lead to weight gain. In fact, some studies have found that diets high in healthy fats, such as olive oil and nuts, can actually help with weight loss. It is important to choose healthy fats, such as those found in avocados, nuts, and fatty fish, and to limit saturated and trans fats.
Myth 4: Eating Gluten-Free is Healthier
For those who do not have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity, there is no evidence that a gluten-free diet is healthier. In fact, some gluten-free products may be higher in calories and sugar than their gluten-containing counterparts. It is important to read labels and choose products that are high in fiber and low in added sugars.
Myth 5: Eating Organic is Healthier
Organic foods are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides and fertilizers, but there is no evidence that they are more nutritious than conventionally grown foods. However, organic foods may be better for the environment and may contain fewer pesticide residues.
In conclusion, it is important to understand the science behind nutrition in order to make informed decisions about what we eat. While some nutrition myths have been debunked by research, others may still have some truth to them. It is important to read labels, choose healthy fats, and limit refined carbohydrates in order to maintain a balanced diet.
Conclusion
Nutrition myths and facts can be confusing and overwhelming, but it is important to make informed dietary choices. By doing your own research and consulting with a healthcare professional, you can make sure that you are making the best decisions for your health. Eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and getting enough sleep are all important components of a healthy lifestyle. With the right information and guidance, you can make sure that you are getting the nutrition you need to stay healthy and happy.

Burned Out in Kindergarten?
Burned Out in Kindergarten?
Burned Out in Kindergarten is a phenomenon that has gained attention in recent years. It refers to the exhaustion and emotional strain experienced by some kindergarten teachers. These educators are responsible for nurturing young children and helping them transition into formal education. However, the demands of the job, coupled with high-stakes testing and limited support, can contribute to burnout.
One major contributing factor to burnout in kindergarten is the increasing academic expectations placed on young children. In recent years, there has been a push for a more structured curriculum, including early literacy and numeracy skills. This has resulted in less time for play-based learning and social-emotional development, which are crucial for the holistic development of young children. Consequently, teachers are often overwhelmed with trying to meet these academic standards without sacrificing the well-being of their students.
Furthermore, kindergarten teachers often face challenges related to classroom management and student behavior. Young children are still learning how to navigate the social dynamics of a classroom, and it can be stressful for teachers to handle disruptive behaviors and conflicts. The lack of resources and support from school administrators and parents can further exacerbate these challenges, leading to increased stress and burnout.
Moreover, the emotional toll of working with young children should not be underestimated. Kindergarten teachers are responsible for establishing a safe and supportive learning environment for their students. They must address the diverse needs and experiences of each child, provide emotional support, and foster positive relationships with families. This requires a high level of empathy and emotional intelligence, which can be draining over time.
To address burnout in kindergarten, it is crucial to prioritize the well-being of teachers. Schools should provide adequate resources, professional development, and support systems for early childhood educators. This can include workshops on stress management, self-care strategies, and effective classroom management techniques. Additionally, reducing the emphasis on standardized testing and promoting play-based learning can help alleviate some of the academic pressures on teachers and students alike.
In conclusion, burnout in kindergarten is a complex issue that requires attention and action. By recognizing and addressing the factors contributing to teacher burnout, we can create a more sustainable and nurturing environment for both educators and young children. It is essential to prioritize the well-being of kindergarten teachers and provide the support they need to thrive in their crucial role of shaping future generations. | eng | e722b079-b94e-4d11-a55f-b6b0f18f2e43 | https://entelechy.app/burned-out-in-kindergarten/ |
The mystery behind the dying crabs and lobsters on the North East Coast
The North-East coast (between Hartlepool and Bridlington) has Europe's largest crab and lobster fishery.
At least, it used to... Since October, hundreds of thousands of crustaceans have mysteriously been washing up dead on our shores. This mass die-off could be considered one of the greatest British environmental disasters of our time. Fishermen have reported a 95% decrease in crab catches, showing the devastation to the marine environment as well as local fishermen's livelihoods.
Source: Paul Grainger, the Guardian
An initial Defra investigation concluded that the deaths were caused by large algae blooms, a naturally occurring but unfortunate event. However, this theory has since been debunked.
Further independent research carried out by researchers from York, Newcastle and Durham Universities found that intensive dredging of the Tees riverbed was a more likely cause.
For over a century, a toxic substance called pyridine was poured into the Tees from chemical factories, settling in concentrated reservoirs. Researchers believe that the capital dredging undertaken to create Teesside Freeport had disturbed this sediment, as dredging began two days before crustaceans started washing up dead. Furthermore, dead crabs were found with 40x more pyridine in their system than controlled crabs (pyridine is extremely toxic to crabs, even in minuscule amounts).
Given this evidence, Defra's silence and complacency on the issue is mystifying. Had an ecological disaster of this scale occurred on land, there would be public outcry and demands to find the cause.

One can't help but question whether the government are allowing political motives to blur the scientific facts. The creation of Teesside Freeport is a key priority for the UK's Levelling Up agenda. Confirming the pyridine theory would have implications for the seven other freeports around the UK. Southampton and Liverpool, for example, also have lethal chemicals hidden under the seabed, and once these enter the sea, the damage cannot be reversed.
The latest results from a DEFRA investigation last week were inconclusive, stating that "it was not possible to identify a clear and convincing single cause for the unusual crustacean mortality". Rather than waiting to find a cause, the government have given the green light to start dredging again this week.
This calls into question the government's commitment to environmental protection, as well as the competency of the regulators responsible for the health of our waters. With investment increasing for marine development projects, such as offshore wind farms, it is vital to understand the true cause of these disasters to avoid irreversible ecological damage. We can only hope the Government have not lost their moral compass to be guided only by political motives and not by the threat facing our seas.

WordPress Text Color And Size Edit
When writing a post in WordPress you will see a few text options on the post editor screen like bold, italics, and strikethrough. But what if you want to change and edit the WordPress text color and the size of the text?
There is seemingly no simple solution for this on the post editor screen. So I am going to show you some workarounds to get it done. This will involve some light HTML coding. But even if you are a beginner you should be able to copy and paste the examples I give to get your desired effect.
The method I am going to show you should only be used. If you want to make changes to just a few words in your post. If you don't like the overall look of the text on your blog, it is better to just install a new theme on your blog that has a font type, size, and color that you like.
Customizing WordPress Text Color
At first look, you probably won't see an easy way to change the text color. This is because, for some reason, the developers of WordPress decided to hide this feature. Here is how to get to it:
In your WordPress dashboard go to the "Posts" section and click on the post you want to edit.
Once you are on the post editor screen click the "Toolbar Toggle" button just about your post (circled in red below).
Changing WordPress text color and size
This will bring up some extra options in the toolbar above your post. One of these options is a "Text color" drop-down box.
Customizing WordPress text color and size
Use your mouse to highlight the text you want to change and then click the "Text color" drop-down box. Choose whichever color you like for your WordPress text color.
Changing Text Size
Editing your text size follows a process similar to the one we used to change the text color. This one is a little more complicated though. Here is how to do it:
1 – In your WordPress dashboard go to the "Posts" section and click on the post you want to edit.
2 – Once you are on the post editor screen click the "Toolbar Toggle" button just about your post (circled in red below) to open the WordPress color selector and size.
3 – This will bring up some extra options in the toolbar above your post. One of these options is a drop-down box that says "Paragraph".
Edit WordPress text color and size
4 – Use your mouse to highlight the text you want to change and then click the "Paragraph" drop-down box. Choose "Heading 3" to follow along with this example.
5 – Once you choose a text size you will notice that it not only changed the text you highlighted, but all of the text in that paragraph!
Extra Options To Edit WordPress Text Size
6 – To fix this, we need to get into the HTML code of the post. To do this, click the "Text" tab (circled below) to edit the WordPress color.
7 – Now that you are in the "Text" view you will not only see the text of your post, but also the codes that control things like text size. Look at the paragraph where we changed the text size. Just prior to the paragraph you will see this: <h3>
Just after the paragraph, you will see this: </h3>
These codes mark where Heading 3 (the text size we chose in step #4) starts and stops. In order to change this, and only change the size of the text we want, we need to move those codes to the appropriate place. Take a look at the screenshots below to see how to do this:
Before:
HTML text view WordPress
After:
HTML text view WordPress
8 – As you can see, all you need to do is copy and paste the codes to surround the text that you want to change. Once you have done that you can click the blue "Update" button on the right-hand side to save your changes.
Please note This tutorial is for WordPress.org blogs. If you are still using a WordPress.com blog the process may be slightly different. To utilize the full power of WordPress you may want to consider transferring your WordPress.com blog to WordPress.org.
In addition to changing text size and color, when you click the "Toggle Toolbar" button you will see some other new features. These include useful things like underlined text and indentations, so keep the "Toggle Toolbar" button in mind in case you need to use these features in the future.
You will see all this WordPress text color options a much more text edition possibilities on all our WordPress themes to expand your options and design. | eng | 90637d4c-647e-4ca1-a6a6-3b0ef274a5da | https://visualmodo.com/wordpress-text-color-size-edit/ |
Allergy: Diagnosis, Therapy and Treatment of Asthma
Antihistamines are drugs that target histamine receptors, particularly H1 and H2 receptors. H1 antagonists are competitive and reversible inhibitors of H1 receptors. First-generation antihistamines cross the blood-brain barrier and can cause sedation. Additionally, with the ability to block muscarinic receptors, anticholinergic effects are also observed with this class of drugs. The 1st-generation H1 antagonists include chlorpheniramine, diphenhydramine, dimenhydrinate, and meclizine. Second-generation antihistamines generally do not cause drowsiness as these agents do not cross the blood-brain barrier. Examples of 2nd-generation antihistamines include loratadine, desloratadine, and cetirizine. Due to their antihistaminic activity, H1 antagonists are prescribed to treat allergy symptoms. Moreover, 1st-generation antihistamines are also used to treat motion sickness, nausea, and vomiting. H2 antagonists (blockers) target the H2 receptor, reducing gastric acid production and secretion. Thus, the general indications of H2 blockers include treatment of GERD and gastric and duodenal ulcers.
Type I hypersensitivity reaction is an abnormal immune response triggered by exposure to specific antigens known as allergens. In this type of hypersensitivity reaction, the presentation of the antigen to the T-helper cells (Th cells) initiates a cascade of immunologic events leading to the production of antigen-specific IgE antibodies. Reexposure to the antigen promotes degranulation of the IgE-bound mast cells and basophils, releasing chemical mediators that cause various allergy symptoms. Manifestations can be local, depending on the route of entry of the antigen. In severe cases, systemic reaction leads to anaphylactic shock. To determine allergic etiology, skin testing as well as in vitro tests are available. Management includes avoidance of triggers to reduce exacerbation. Common treatment options are antihistamines and glucocorticoids to control the inflammatory response. Anaphylaxis, however, is a medical emergency that requires immediate airway access with administration of epinephrine and fluid resuscitation.
00:01
Atopic allergy can be diagnosed using the skin prick test, wheresmall amounts of the suspected
allergen are injected under the skin.
00:10
This leads to the release of inflammatory
mediators from any mast cells thathave been pre-sensitized with IgE
antibody against the suspected allergen.
00:23
This will lead to vasodilation and edema causing thecharacteristic wheal and flare response that is detected as aresponse to the suspected allergen, if that proves to be theallergen that is responsible for the patient's symptoms.
The amount of IgE specific for aparticular allergen that is present in
a patient can be measured using theallergen specific IgE test or RAST.
In this test, the allergen is immobilized on a disc orsome other surface, and then patient's serum is added.
If the patient has antibodies that are specific for theallergen, then those antibodies will bind to the allergen.
If the antibody is IgE antibody, it can bedetected using a labeled anti-IgE antibody.
In the past, the label most commonlyemployed was a radioactive isotope.
Hence, the name of this test, RAST whichstands for radioallergosorbent test.
However nowadays, most commonly instead of using aradiolabel, some other type of detectable label is used.
For example, an enzyme that causesa colour change in a substrate.
What are the therapeuticoptions for allergy?
Well of course the easiest approach isto remove or avoid the allergic trigger.
If you are allergic to the cat, then it would be agood idea maybe to give your cat away to a friend.
If you're allergic to pollen,don't go out in the spring time.
Of course this is very easy to say,it's much harder to achieve in practice.
But where possible, avoidanceof the allergen is the best.
And if you're allergic to a particularfood, it may not be too difficultto avoid exposure to that food as long as you know what it is.
02:28
If removal or avoidance of the allergen is not
practical, then one can use H1 blockers, mastcell stabilizers, anti-inflammatory corticosteroids
and leukotriene inhibitors or immunotherapy.
02:48
Another approach is to use a monoclonal antibody
that is specific for the IgE class of antibody.
02:56
This particular antibody,
omalizumab, is specific for IgE.
03:02
And when injected into the patient, the antibody binds
to IgE and removes it from the patient's circulation.
03:12
And therefore mast cells
do not get sensitized.
03:16
It also has a secondary effect of reducing the number
of FcεR1 receptors on the surface of mast cells,because it turns out there's a feedback mechanism
where the less IgE there is, the less FcεR1 there is.
03:32
So it has a doubly beneficial effect.
03:35
And we can see here, the antigen
activated mast cell, or basophilsin the circulation can also release
these inflammatory mediators.
03:44
And by using this monoclonal antibody
against IgE, you can block this activity.
03:52
Cromolyn is a mast cell stabilizer
that prevents mast cell degranulation.
04:00
And here you can see the cromolyn is
blocking the release of mast cell mediators.
04:07
Leukotriene antagonists such as
montelukast, can block bronchialconstriction caused by leukotrienes, here shown on this diagram.
04:19
β-adrenergic agonists such as albuterol
can stimulate bronchial relaxation.
04:27
And finally, corticosteroids can suppress
transcription of pro-inflammatory genes.
04:35
Histamine does not play a significant role
in bronchial constriction, and thereforeantihistamines such as H1 receptor
antagonists are not used to treat asthma.
04:56
One potentially very beneficial approach to the
treatment of allergy is to use immunotherapy.
05:04
And this is used for allergens that are hard to avoid suchas pollens, house dust mites, molds, insect venoms and so on.
05:13
It involves the subcutaneous injection of small
amounts of allergen in gradually increasing doses.
05:22
These are increased weekly or biweekly by two or less
times until the maximum tolerated dose is reached.
05:31
That is the dose at which symptoms begin
to be seen in response to the injections.
05:38
The patients are observed for 30 minutes post injection
during dose escalation due to the risk of anaphylaxis.
05:46
Alternative routes of administration include
sublingual and oral rather than subcutaneous.
05:53
And the way in which these allergen immunotherapies
work is by shifting the immune response awayfrom the Th2 IgE mediated type of response and by
increasing the activity of regulatory T-cells.

How To Get To Messages On TikTok?
TikTok has been growing tremendously in the past couple of years. Most of us are familiar with the platform, and most are on the platform too. The video-sharing platform has become very popular among the present generation. But since it is primarily a video-sharing platform, direct messaging on TikTok can get confusing. Mainly because, by default, TikTok only allows direct messages between accounts that follow each other. Direct messaging on TikTok helps you connect with your friends on the platform by sending each other text messages, GIFs, and other TikTok videos. In this article, we will take you through how to get messages on TikTok.
Send Direct Messages on TikTok
Sending direct messages on TikTok is simple, like any other app. You can easily send messages to your friends. However, unlike other platforms, you can't send messages to people who don't follow you. By default, TikTok allows direct messaging between accounts that follow each other. So, if you wonder why you might not receive messages from someone on TikTok, check that you both follow each other.
If you both follow each other, here is how you can send direct messages on the Platform.
Open TikTok App and Tap on the Inbox icon from the bottom.
You can select the conversation from the inbox, or if you both follow each other on TikTok, you can also search for their account from the top and send them a direct message.
Type a message in the message box; you can include text messages, emojis, or even send stickers and GIFs.
Tap the Send button, and your message will be sent.
You can also open the profile, tap on the Message button, and send them a direct message.
Who Can Send you Messages on TikTok?
Generally, anyone who follows each other can send messages on TikTok. But you can also manage who can send you messages on TikTok. By default, only your friends can do that, but here is how you can change that:
First, open your Tiktok and head to your Profile.
Next, tap on the three horizontal lines on the top right and Click on Settings and Privacy.
Next, tap on Privacy and Tap on Direct Messages.
Next, you will see Direct message; click on it, and then you can choose who can send you direct messages on Tiktok.
You can choose from three options: Suggested friends, Followers you follow back, and people sent messages to, and No one.
Select the option you wish and change who can send you direct messages.
FAQs On Messaging on TikTok
How to delete direct messages on Tiktok?
You can quickly delete unwanted direct messages on Tiktok. For example, if you wish to delete a chat on Tiktok, you can open Inbox on your Tiktok and scroll to the conversation you want to delete. Then, press and hold the chat and select delete. A pop-up message will appear for your confirmation to delete the message, Click on Delete. To delete a single message, you can open the conversation, press and hold the message and then select delete.
How to filter messages on Tiktok?
Based on your preference, you can filter messages on Tiktok. To filter direct messages, Open Tiktok and tap on Inbox from the bottom. Click on Message requests and go to settings. Now, you can filter preferences to allow different messages on your Tiktok.
How to toggle the read status on Tiktok?
If you don't want people to see your read status on Tiktok, you can quickly turn them off on Tiktok. To turn off or on read status on Tiktok, Open your TikTok and then head to your Profile. Next, tap the three horizontal lines in the top right and then Tap Settings and Privacy. Head to Privacy and then go to Direct Messages. You can easily toggle on/off your read status for Direct Messages.
Can you message someone you don't follow on Tiktok?
Besides video sharing, Tiktok also helps people connect through the platform. For example, people can send direct messages and connect with each other online. But there is a limitation to that; you cannot send or receive messages from someone you don't follow on Tiktok. In addition, TikTok doesn't let people who aren't following each other share messages between them. So, if you want to message someone, ensure you both follow each other on Tiktok.
How long can my Tiktok Video be?
Tiktok started as a platform allowing users to post videos only up to 15 seconds long. After a while, Tiktok extended the limit allowing videos up to 60 seconds on the platform. Some time back, till 2021, we could only upload videos up to 3 minutes long, but now Tiktok is cranking its maximum limit, allowing users to post videos of lengths up to 10 minutes. With the app's growing popularity, it is also challenging other platforms like Youtube by letting Tiktok users post 10-minute | eng | c00643a6-12f4-4c56-943a-bc0b9e65eaaa | https://howtosguru.com/how-to-get-to-messages-on-tiktok/ |

A future where artificial intelligence is part of medical care may not look all that different. That's one lesson we can take away from a new AI tool, made by Stanford University researchers in computer science and medicine, which is designed to help clinicians identify brain aneurysms.
Built around an algorithm called HeadXNet, the tool looks through head scans -- made using computed tomography angiography -- and for every voxel, the 3D version of a pixel, decides whether or not there is a sign of an aneurysm.
At the end of this process, a semi-transparent red overlay shows up on the scans everywhere that HeadXNet predicts there is an aneurysm. This visualization is purposefully subtle; a way to encourage clinicians who use HeadXNet to give those areas a closer look.
"Search for an aneurysm is one of the most labor-intensive and critical tasks radiologists undertake," said Kristen Yeom, MD, associate professor of radiology and co-senior author of the paper, in a Stanford press release. "Given inherent challenges of complex neurovascular anatomy and potential fatal outcome of a missed aneurysm, it prompted me to apply advances in computer science and vision to neuroimaging."
In order to see their tool in a realistic work flow, the researchers put a lot of time and effort into integrating it within scan viewers, which radiologists currently use. Eight clinicians tested it by evaluating a set of 115 brain scans for aneurysm, once with the help of HeadXNet and once without. The tool improved clinicians' ability to correctly identify aneurysms at a level equivalent to finding six more aneurysms in 100 scans that contain aneurysms. It also improved agreement between the clinicians.
There are many directions the researchers could take their work from here. Yeom has suggested the possibility of altering the algorithm to identify aneurysms that have burst, a dangerous condition. The researchers are also planning to establish a multi-center collaboration to make AI health care technologies, like HeadXNet, easier to use across different hospitals, which tend to have different hardware, patient populations and imaging protocols.
Given the challenges of making AI work in all these different situations -- and the vital importance of accurate diagnoses -- these researchers think that collaboration between AI health care technologies and clinicians is a particularly promising path forward.
"There's been a lot of concern about how machine learning will actually work within the medical field," said Allison Park, a Stanford graduate student in statistics and co-lead author of the paper. "This research is an example of how humans stay involved in the diagnostic process, aided by an artificial intelligence tool." | eng | eabcd29c-5ddd-481f-9803-00a96b9e5ef0 | https://scopeblog.stanford.edu/2019/06/13/artificial-intelligence-tool-helps-find-brain-aneurysms/ |

12 Examples Of Blended Studying –
Blended studying is a sort of on-line training the place college students are taught in each conventional (face-to-face) and on-line or 'digital' codecs.
This strategy can be utilized in a wide range of settings, from universities to companies. Whereas not ideal for every circumstance, blended studying has a number of benefits over conventional training: it may be extra versatile, extra inexpensive, extra personalised, and extra environment friendly.
Examples Of Blended Studying In Schooling
What are some examples of blended studying?
Within the Definition Of Blended Learning, we provided that "blended studying is an strategy to studying that mixes face-to-face and on-line studying experiences. Ideally, every (each on-line and off) will complement the opposite through the use of its specific energy."
In Types Of Blended Learning, we additionally included precise blended studying fashions like Station Rotation Blended Studying, Distant Blended Studying, and Undertaking-Primarily based Blended Studying. As for precise working examples of blended studying you would possibly see in a college or classroom? Let's have a look.

Sydney Lawyer Insights: NSW Police Illegal Interrogation
Drink driving is one of the most common causes of car accidents in Australia, and it is also a problem all over the world. Sydney lawyers can confirm with the number of traffic-related legal cases they handle every year. Random breath testing is a practice which helped in decreasing the incidents of alcohol-related traffic accidents. NSW police conduct around 5 million breath tests each year. The police have the authority to:
Stop drivers for random breath testing for alcohol.
Arrest drivers who are over the legal limit.
Conduct a sobriety test in some cases.
Conduct a breath test on any driver involved in a crash
Although random breath tests exist to ensure the safety of each citizen in New South Wales, some police officers abuse their power to illegally interrogate drivers under the pretence of a random breath test. Serious concerns about the misuse of this authority intensified because of the coronavirus lockdown. Lack of understanding of the newly imposed lockdown can lead to misconceptions that NSW police have the freedom to conduct activities in any way they want.
Sydney Lawyers Say: The Police Have Limits
NSW residents are not new to news about illegal random breath testing. However, everyone should know or do what they can to spread awareness that the police have strictly defined limits to their authority. There is a limit as to what they can and cannot do.
For instance, in the R v Buddeecase, the accused possessed a small mints tin, which contained 6.76 grams of methylamphetamine at an approximate purity of 80%; however, the evidence was obtained unlawfully.
The police were acting with lawful intentions when they stopped the accused's vehicle; however, their conduct became unlawful when they used the random breath test power with an ulterior purpose to conduct a criminal investigation. This action was not authorised at law; specifically, the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002 ("LEPRA").
The coronavirus lockdown in Australia has made the citizens more anxious about the possibility of the police illegally stopping vehicles and interrogating the occupants under the guise of a Random Breath Test. The police may tell you that they are stopping you for a random breath test despite having the clear intention of questioning you about why you left your house.
The question here is whether this is an illegal use of the random breath test powers. Sydney lawyers would say, yes. Much like the R v Buddee case, even if the police have lawful intentions, stopping your vehicle and interrogating you under the disguise of RBT is an improper and illegal use of police powers.
Is There Really a Police Power to Stop Vehicles?
The truth is that the NSW police do not have a general power to stop vehicles for either questioning or interrogation. They also have no authority to stop a car for a license check. That is a common misconception that should be abolished. NSW residents are protected from the undue harassment and interference of police officers acting on a hunch.
However, there are a few circumstances wherein the police can stop a vehicle. The police can stop a car for the following:
Random breath test
An arrest under Section 99 of LEPRA
The police do not have the authority to stop any vehicle outside these two exempted purposes. The police are not allowed to stop your car to conduct an interrogation; doing so will result in an illegal stop.
About the Public Health Act
Why are the police disguising stops and interrogations as random breath tests? The coronavirus lockdown order is made under the Public Health Act— an act that has many limitations. The lockdown restrictions may be strict, but the Act gives police very few powers to enforce these restrictions. For instance, the Public Health Act does not provide any authority for the NSW police to stop vehicles and question the occupants about their decision to leave the house.
It is unclear if the government does not deem it necessary for the police to have the authority to stop vehicles or if this is an oversight. The lack of power does not mean that the police won't find ways to stop vehicles anyway. This reason has to be considered as one of the reasons why NSW police officers have been disguising questioning and interrogations as random breath tests.
How Does the Coronavirus Relate to Illegal Random Breath Tests?
Ever since the implementation of the coronavirus lockdown, the police have fined hundreds of people who have allegedly breached the lockdown restrictions. Most of these fines were issued to drivers who were stopped by the police for RBT.
The officer would ask the person questions while conducting the breath test– an action not supported by the law. However, if a police officer did stop a vehicle so they can conduct a random breath test and for that purpose only, but the occupants end up volunteering information, then that is not considered as an illegal stop or interrogation.
Keep in mind that it is not illegal for the police officers to ask questions per se, but demanding you to answer their inquiries is improper conduct. You have no legal obligation to answer any questions ask while they are conducting RBT.
If it is clear or established that the RBT is not the real reason why your vehicle was stopped and that the true purpose of stopping you is to interrogate you, then that is an illegal stop.
Sydney Lawyer Tips for Proving an Illegal Random Breath Test Stop
For your safety, you should record your interactions with the police officer that stopped your vehicle. Ensure that you have video material to review. It will also serve as evidence if any legal action is needed.
You should also ask the police officers about the stop, but keep in mind that being doubtful of an officer's intentions is not an excuse to be rude. Be polite and friendly to avoid any conflicts. Here are some things that you should do:
Inform the police officer that you are going to record the interaction with your phone. Keep in mind that it is not illegal to record interactions with a police officer; don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Again, do not be rude about this as that may lead to more conflict than the RBT itself.
Politely ask the officers to identify themselves. Ask for their name, rank and station.
It is okay to provide them with your license if it is requested.
Ask about why they stopped you— emphasis on not being rude.
If they claim that it is for RBT, then let them know when you are ready.
In case the officers ask about your movement or anything else that isn't related to the test, then you may refuse to answer. Politely let them know that you want to exercise your right to silence.
Once the test is complete, ask the police if you may leave. In case that they won't allow you, then politely asked for the reason you are being detained.
Do not argue with the officers if they issue you a fine. Accept it, get a Sydney lawyer, and settle the issue in court.
You can determine a police officer's real intention based on your interaction. For example, if they ask excessive and invasive questions, then chances are that they have ulterior motives behind the RBT.
What to Do If Proven that the Police Conducted an Illegal Random Breath Test?
In case you have been fined by the police, but the evidence is obtained through illegal random breath testing– you may bring this detail up in court. If you can prove that the police conducted an unlawful random breath test, the court can dismiss the police evidence under Section 138 of the Evidence Act.
The exclusion of evidence due to an illegal random breath test will result in the dismissal of the case– which means that you don't have to pay the fine. Depending on how inappropriately the police handled the situation, you can even sue the officer in question.
Regardless of whether improper police activity is common or not, it is a big deal. The law does not take the abuse of authority lightly. Personal liberty cannot be taken away without lawful authority. Rest assured, courts take illegal random breath tests seriously.
Conclusion
People need to fight for their rights. Illegal random breath tests are unacceptable; staying silent will not resolve the issue. Even with the coronavirus lockdown in play, the police have no reason or right to be invasive or to demand answers from you when they stop you for RBT. They do not have the authority to act outside their legal powers.
However, you must also keep in mind that there is a right way to handle an illegal random breath test. Violence should not be an option, and being rude can make things worse. Act civil and polite, if any improper police activity takes place, get in touch with a Sydney lawyer to help you work out a case.

Abstract:
Coalescent theory deals with the dynamics of how sampled genetic material has spread through a population from a single ancestor over many generations and is ubiquitous in contemporary molecular population genetics. Inherent in most applications is a continuous-time approximation that is derived under the assumption that sample size is small relative to the actual population size.

Outdoor Pool Lighting vs Indoor Pool Lighting
Lighting is a very important part of swimming pool design. The right lighting scheme can provide a better pool experience for swimmers. In this article we will look at the differences between outdoor and indoor pool lighting. Let's start now.
Influence of ambient light
Both outdoor and indoor pools are affected by ambient light. The main differences are in the source, intensity and stability of the light.
Outdoor
Outdoor pools are affected by both natural and man-made factors such as the sun, sky, surrounding buildings and vegetation.
The position and intensity of natural light sources vary with the time of day and the weather, so the lighting environment of an outdoor pool will also change. On a clear day, the sun's rays can shine directly on the pool water, causing strong reflection and refraction. Too much light can cause glare that irritates the eyes. On cloudy days or at night, natural light becomes dim and adequate lighting from lamps is required.
Some outdoor pools can also be affected by overly tall or dense surrounding buildings and vegetation. The effects include a lack of natural light due to heavy shading, poor air circulation and an increase in mosquitoes. At night, if buildings are too close together and their internal lighting is too bright, external light is also refracted and reflected into the pool.
Indoor
Indoor pool lighting is not overly influenced by natural light and surrounding buildings, and it is much easier to control the effects of these factors than in outdoor pools. It is easy to achieve a good lighting experience by simply planning the room and pool lighting design and installing the right lighting products.
Lighting Products
Outdoor
Outdoor pool lighting is more susceptible to weather, temperature, water quality and other factors. Poor quality pool lighting is more prone to deterioration, cracking, rusting and water ingress in these conditions. It is best to choose lighting products made from more durable materials that are better suited to the outdoor environment.
Indoor
Indoor pools are not as harsh as outdoor environments, but underwater pool lights need to be rustproof and IP68 rated.
Light Colour
Outdoor
The colour of the light is the most important factor in the lighting effect. The most common light colours for outdoor pools are blue and white.
Blue is close to the colour of the sea and sky and has a softer lighting effect, making it easier for the body and mind to feel relaxed and comfortable. Blue light penetrates the water well and can illuminate larger underwater areas.
White light is very bright and clear and provides very good colour rendition when illuminating objects. Many pools use white light to illuminate the surrounding area.
Indoor
Indoors is a more intimate environment and the lighting options for swimming pools are more varied and individual. In addition to blue and white light, red, yellow and other vibrant colours are commonly used in indoor pool lighting design.
Light Intensity
Outdoor
Outdoor pool environment with plenty of natural light. In most cases, it is only necessary to light the pool at night. If you also have the need to light up the pool during the day, you need to control the intensity of the pool lighting according to the climate. When natural light is strong, turn down the brightness of the lights. If it is raining, snowing or foggy, increase the brightness of the pool lighting to ensure that the pool is well lit.
Indoor
If an indoor pool is located in a more enclosed space, it will not receive enough natural light and will need to be well lit at all times.
Lighting Layout
Outdoor
Outdoor areas are much larger, more open and susceptible to natural light interruption. Most outdoor pools have a greater choice of lighting products and a wider range of products than indoor pools. The buildings, roads and landscaping surrounding the pool can affect the lighting of the pool.
Outdoor pool lighting will also have low wattage lighting products installed on steps and other areas to ensure adequate lighting and safety.
Indoor
Some indoor pools have less space and often opt for more compact pool lights to achieve a better overall effect. Indoor lighting has a smaller footprint than outdoor lighting and there is also a need to avoid the effect on room temperature when the lighting heats up. The higher the wattage of an LED light, the more heat it generates. For this reason, indoor lighting products are not selected for too high a wattage.
Indoor lighting layouts are more detail-oriented and need to create a more harmonious lighting atmosphere. When designing lighting for an indoor pool, you also need to consider the effect of the walls, floor and ceiling on the lighting effect.
Outdoor pools need to take into account the different times of day and night and should ideally be remotely controllable. If the weather is bad, you can use the remote control to switch off the power quickly. This prevents short-circuit problems caused by gusty winds and heavy rain.
Indoor
Indoor swimming pools are a more stable environment and in most cases only need to provide the right brightness and light colour. As a result, the control requirements for indoor pools are often simpler than those for outdoor pools.
In lighting scenarios such as mini pools, bathtubs, spas, etc., may be only one light installed. In this case, the use of a single controller is less expensive and easier to operate than other controls.
Maintenance
Outdoor
Outdoor pools are outdoors and are very susceptible to the elements, collecting dust and other types of dirt more quickly than indoor pools. In addition, sunlight, rain, wind and sand can accelerate the ageing and wear of equipment. The frequency, cost, difficulty and time required to maintain outdoor pool lighting is in most cases greater than for indoor pools.
Indoor
Indoor pools are a better environment than outdoor pools, but lighting products still need to be maintained according to actual use.
Similarities
There are many similarities in lighting design for indoor and outdoor pools:
Conclusion
There are many similarities between the lighting products used in indoor and outdoor swimming pools. Outdoor pools require more consideration of natural and environmental influences. Indoor pool lighting requires a more individual and detailed lighting design in order to achieve a better installation and lighting effect in a limited space.

Climate advisors for schools in new education scheme
A new scheme has launched to provide crash courses in climate change for teachers. The Climate Ambassador Scheme aims to help schools, colleges and nurseries transition to net zero by linking them up with leading experts working on climate.
Led collaboratively by the University of Reading and STEM Learning, involving partners from universities and research institutions around the UK, the scheme will support the new Department for Education Sustainability and Climate Change strategy.
Schools and colleges will receive free, tailored advice from climate ambassadors to help them develop their own climate plans.
Professor Steve Fletcher, Director of the Global Plastics Policy Centre at the University of Portsmouth, one of the scheme partners, said:
"This is an exciting initiative and one we are delighted to be involved in. The University of Portsmouth is leading the way on a number of projects which should lessen the impact of climate change. This includes our Revolution Plasticsinitiative and Global Plastics Policy Centre. The University is committed to becoming climate positive by 2030. If we can share our knowledge and expertise with teachers of the next generation we will help make significant steps towards solving the climate crisis together."
Examples of activities that Climate Ambassadors might get involved in include teacher training days, fact-checking resources for teachers, advice to school leaders or governors on cutting carbon emissions, or even making practical suggestions on when to schedule sports days to avoid heat stress.
Professor Andrew Charlton-Perez, the University of Reading climate scientist who has led the scheme's creation, said:
"The Climate Ambassador Scheme goes beyond the occasional class talk or school assembly and, importantly, is about more than just science. We believe that climate change is relevant in every classroom, across all subjects.
"Teachers have told us they would like support from top experts, giving them confidence to help their students learn about climate change with accurate and up-to-date information. Young people have been telling anyone who would listen that they need the skills and knowledge to face their future under a rapidly changing climate."

The Rise of Generative AI: Implementation and Opportunities for Today's Enterprises
Since its inception, our boundless curiosity has driven us to push the boundaries of current technologies. Our quest for advancement leads us into an era where artificial intelligence can shoulder our daily burdens, transforming the mundane into the effortless.
Words by Kritika Kishore
By far generative AI is the epitome of technical advancements. Its implacable capabilities have sparked immense interest in its adoption. Business leaders always find the new capabilities of generative AI lucrative, and they want to adopt it in their business.
But one common question lies in the mind of all leaders, What is the right approach to deploying the suitable generative AI model?
A comprehensive approach to deploying generative AI
The number of pre-trained generative AI models and apps is growing exponentially. As a result, enterprises face the challenge of aligning the suitable AI model with their business use case. With the right approach to generative AI deployment, companies can enhance their overall productivity and outcome. Let's have a look to understand each model in detail.
Pre-trained generative AI
These generative AI are exclusively designed for end-users who do not have technical knowledge. Businesses can leverage these tools to elevate their customer experience, boost productivity, and streamline operations. Firefly, Midjourney, ChatGPT, and Google Bard are examples of consumable embedded generative AI.
However, a notable drawback is their limited scalability. Such models don't offer flexibility. Organizations might find themselves with reduced control over security and data privacy concerns.
Custom embedding model
Generative AI in a custom application frame has emerged as a transformative approach for business leaders. It allows users to customize the prompt templates based on their business requirements. It can be best used for sentiment analysis, where with the help of specific instruction, the exact results can be drawn.
This model is highly effective, offering value across diverse business scenarios. However, there's a limitation on the amount of data that can be transmitted through the app.
Retrieval augmented generation model
Extending generative AI models through data retrieval involves training the AI with a company's specific knowledge. This knowledge is proprietary and vast but often goes unused. By tapping into this resource, companies can organize and deploy their unique insights more efficiently and effectively. It allows them to enhance accuracy on domain-specific tasks. At the same time augmenting the prompt may increase latency which impacts its viability in real-time business use cases.
Fine-tuning in generative AI model
Fine-tuning is a technique in which pre-trained models are customized to perform specific tasks. It involves modifying a pre-trained model to cater to a more specific topic or targeted objective. For example, a pre-trained model that can generate natural language texts can be fine-tuned to write poems, summaries, or jokes.
This technique is capable of learning from existing artifacts to generate new, realistic artifacts (at scale) that reflect the characteristics of the training data but don't repeat it.
Foundation model
These models are fully customizable, allowing companies to train them using their own datasets. This approach grants businesses total control, ensuring outcomes tailored to their specific domain. Organization can build their own foundation from scratch.
However, building a model from scratch is costly. Along with significant financial investment, it's challenging for an organization to keep pace with rapidly advancing technological trends. Such models run a high risk of becoming outdated quickly.
Interpreting AI for Businesses: Crucial Points of Consideration
In case you want to deploy these models based on your business requirements, you must consider some crucial points. Here we discuss a few considerations for your reference.
Cost
The financial implications of each approach are largely dictated by the intricacy of the chosen model. Custom-embedded generative AI models are simple, typically incurring a standard subscription fee. In custom application frameworks, costs remain low as only prompts are modified. Data retrieval models, which add more data to the model prompts, cost more to the user. Fine-tuning model costs fluctuate based on the size and parameters on which the models are updated. Among these, custom foundation models are the most expensive.
In the generative AI sector, security and privacy encompass a wide range of concerns. There's a need for robust access control and data sovereignty. Building or fine-tuning custom models grants businesses greater ownership and control over these assets. While AI providers are continually enhancing their security measures, user organizations must recognize the shared responsibilities between them and the providers. It's crucial for these organizations to implement audit procedures to identify and address any vulnerabilities in generative AI products.
The New Frontier: Safely Integrating Generative AI in the Workplace
The digital age is witnessing a transformative shift, with Generative AI. However, with the surge in pre-trained models, enterprises must judiciously select and deploy the most fitting AI solutions for their needs. As we look to the future, the role of Generative AI in reshaping the world of work is undeniable. It's imperative for businesses to not only understand the diverse deployment strategies but also to prioritize safety and knowledge. By doing so, they can harness the full potential of Generative AI, blending technology and human endeavors for enhanced productivity and innovation. | eng | 5857ba59-4b1a-40ef-af12-56ed1b7119ac | https://www.simplifai.ai/blogs/the-rise-of-generative-ai-implementation-and-opportunities-for-todays-enterprises/ |
In 2015 the US Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") issued guidance on how to conduct shedding studies during the preclinical and clinical development of virus or bacteria-based gene therapy products. Shedding, as described by the FDA, is the excretion or release of a product from a vaccinated person's body. The shed gene therapy product may be infectious and so raises safety concerns "related to the risk of transmission to untreated individuals."
Various studies and documents, including a study by Pfizer, indicate vaccine shedding and transmission are occurring. Would you trust anything that's shed from a Covid injection as good for you or anyone around you?
Aerosol Transmission and Contagious Vaccines
A University of Colorado study published in May provided evidence "for a new mechanism by which herd immunity may be manifested – the aerosol transfer of antibodies between immune and non-immune hosts."
Consistent with the results reported by others, the researchers detected antibodies in both vaccinated people's saliva and their face masks. "Given these observations, we hypothesised that droplet/aerosolised antibody transfer might occur between individuals, much like droplet/aerosolised virus particles can be exchanged by the same route."
To test whether the transmission was occurring, the researchers took nasal swabs from unvaccinated children of vaccinated parents and tested them for SARS-CoV-2 specific antibodies and found a significant positive relationship.
The concept of self-spreading vaccines is not "new" as the University of Colorado study claims. But the study does leave us wondering whether the researchers proved that only antibodies are being transmitted or whether viral particles, such as the spike protein contained in the injections, or graphene are also being shed.
In their November 2020 dose-finding study, Pfizer called this transmission, or shedding, "environmental exposure." Which, Pfizer stated, can occur by breathing the same air or touching the skin of the person who has been vaccinated. i.e., according to Pfizer, the "vaccine" contents are both infectious and contagious. The Pfizer document specifically mentions healthcare providers, family members, breastfeeding babies and pregnant women as at risk of environmental exposure.
Slate reported on the release of Pfizer and BioNTech's interim data results: "It's promising – but important questions remain."
FDA Guidance on Vaccine Shedding
The knowledge of vaccine shedding goes a lot further back than the Covid era as demonstrated by guidance issued to "sponsors of virus or bacteria-based gene therapy products" ("VBGT products") by the FDA in 2015.
On 5 June 2021, Dr. Richard Fleming presented 'Event 2021, The Published Science on SARS-CoV-2 & COVID-19. Virus – Vaccines – Treatments'. It is a four-and-a-half-hour presentation which has been split into 15 shorter videos for easier consumption. Below is a clip from Event 2021, Part 10 [begin timestamp 04:32]. Links to all 15 parts are listed HERE.
The FDA's Office of Cellular, Tissue, and Gene Therapies ("OCTGT") issued guidance and recommendations on how to conduct shedding studies during the preclinical and clinical development of VBGTs.
VBGT and oncolytic products are derived from infectious viruses or bacteria. It is likely that these products are shed to a lesser extent than during natural infection by the parent strain, the FDA's guidance stated. "Nonetheless, the possibility that the shed VBGT or oncolytic product may be infectious raises safety concerns related to the risk of transmission to untreated individuals. To understand this risk, shedding studies that are conducted in the target patient population(s) may be appropriate before licensure."
Covid Injections are Unsafe
If you are left in any doubt that Covid "vaccines" are unsafe and unnecessary then consider the case of the refugees. After reading this we need to ask ourselves if anything the Covid injections shed could be considered safe, necessary or anything but a bad idea. We don't need scientific studies to raise the alarm, their "philanthropic" actions speak for themselves.
In December 2021, Reuters reported that refugees lacked Covid injections because drugmakers feared lawsuits. As some reports have a strange habit of disappearing from the internet, we have downloaded a copy of Reuters' report for safekeeping and attached it below.
As Reuters reported, according to officials and internal documents from GAVI, major "vaccine" manufacturers were worried about legal risks from harmful side effects.
Quoting the United Nations, Reuters stated that many Covid injection manufacturers required countries indemnify them for any adverse events suffered by people as a result of the so-called "vaccines." As we've previously written, this has been challenged by the likes of Member of the European Parliament ("MEP") Cristian Terhes on more than one occasion.
However, where governments are not in control – for example, in refugee, migrant and asylum-seeker camps – indemnity is not possible. GAVI set up a "humanitarian buffer" in March 2021, planning to reserve up to 5% of vaccine doses as they became available to COVAX, but claimed it did not have any mechanism to offer compensation to those who were injured by the "vaccines."
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's initial pledge of US$ 750 million in 1999 provided the seed money to launch GAVI. Since then, additional pledges have brought the Gates Foundation's total commitment to GAVI, to date, to over US$4 billion. The Gates Foundation plays both a technical and financial role in GAVI's efforts to shape vaccine markets.
It seems Bill "Vaccine" Gates and other major partners of GAVI – WHO, UNICEF and The World Bank – "do not have the mechanism to offer compensation" to those injured by Covid injections. Conversely, through funds taken from taxpayers, national governments do.
More importantly, we can assume from their refusal to administer "vaccines" – for which they would be liable – that GAVI and WHO did not have sufficient confidence in the safety of the Covid injections to inject those who did not fall under the jurisdiction of a national government.
Or, perhaps GAVI's business model was to save money by vaccinating as few stateless people as possible – as there is no taxpayer-funded government to pay for the vaccines either – and then let the vaccinated spread antibodies and whatever else to those around them?

Hydrogen fuel will play a role in fostering a cleaner environment and reducing the use of fossil fuels in many industries. (Image by Shutterstock.)
Scientists and engineers across the country celebrate National Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Day every Oct. 8, a date aptly chosen for the atomic weight of hydrogen (1.008).
Hydrogen fuel will play a role in fostering a cleaner environment and in reducing the use of fossil fuels in many industries. For example, hydrogen fuel cells are appealing as alternative power sources for vehicles, buildings and other applications due to their quick refueling time, high efficiencies, high energy densities and lack of harmful emissions or byproducts.
But before hydrogen can reach its full potential, it needs to be less expensive and easier to produce.
Argonne scientists are tackling these challenges from many angles, leveraging world-class facilities and expertise to advance hydrogen science and accelerate fuel cell research and development.
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory are working to improve performance and lower the cost of hydrogen and fuel cell technologies, with research and development solutions from the atomic to commercial scale.
As part of the national celebration, we answer common questions surrounding hydrogen as an energy carrier.
Where does hydrogen come from?
Hydrogen is the simplest chemical element, consisting of just one proton and one electron. It's also the most abundant element in the universe, constituting around 75% of all normal matter. Hydrogen also carries a lot of useful energy. A kilogram of hydrogen has more than double the energy of a kilogram of gasoline or diesel.
Vast amounts of hydrogen exist in water and living things, but hydrogen molecules don't typically occur by themselves on earth. Here, hydrogen usually must be produced from other substances that contain it. There are many ways to produce hydrogen today. The most common process that doesn't use fossil fuels is to split water using electricity from nuclear or renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, geothermal and hydro-electric power.
Scientists are also developing more efficient processes to support future hydrogen fuel production. One potential approach is to produce hydrogen by harnessing and mimicking the biological processes of bacteria and algae.
What is a hydrogen fuel cell?
Hydrogen fuel cells convert the chemical energy stored in hydrogen and oxygen gas into electricity. Unlike with gasoline-fueled combustion engines, there are no carbon dioxide or other harmful emissions. The only exhaust is heat and water. And unlike with batteries, fuel cells don't require lengthy recharging.
In a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (a common type of fuel cell often used in transportation applications), hydrogen molecules are split into protons and electrons. The electrons flow through a circuit, creating a supply of usable electricity. The protons pass through a membrane and then combine with the electrons and oxygen molecules from the surrounding air to produce water and heat, the only emissions.
How can hydrogen fuel cells be used?
Hydrogen fuel technologies could be applied in many sectors of the economy. Hydrogen fuel cells can provide power for transportation, building infrastructure, energy storage for the grid and more.
For example, hydrogen and fuel cells offer a solution for energy storage. They are already being used for backup power for critical functions like telecommunications and data centers, and this role could grow with additional applications in the residential and commercial building sectors. Hydrogen is also expected to provide solutions for hard-to-decarbonize sectors of transportation, such as long-haul trucking, maritime shipping, aviation and more. Some vehicles are already being powered by hydrogen fuel cells, and this technology will become more popular as the technologies improve.
What are the barriers to large-scale implementation of hydrogen fuel?
Hydrogen presents a promising avenue for large-scale clean energy, but producing reliable, affordable and safe hydrogen comes with some challenges.
For example, clean hydrogen production often requires catalysts, which are substances that increase the rate of chemical reactions. Many of these catalysts use materials in short supply, such as platinum and iridium. There is a current emphasis on developing approaches that will reduce the need for catalysts that contain these and other expensive and critical materials.
Building a national hydrogen delivery infrastructure is also a big challenge. Cities, highways, airports and more will require significant infrastructure changes to accommodate hydrogen storage, transportation and refueling.
Durability and performance also present challenges, both for the production of hydrogen from water and for the use of hydrogen in fuel cells. Under realistic operating conditions, fuel cells need to maintain performance for long periods of time (over a million miles for long-haul trucks) under all sorts of conditions.
Argonne scientists are tackling these challenges from many angles, leveraging world-class facilities and expertise to advance hydrogen science and accelerate fuel cell research and development.
Our research is making fuel cells more affordable and durable; improving the efficiency, durability and cost of fuel cell vehicles; quantifying the carbon footprint of different methods of hydrogen production and use; and lowering the cost of hydrogen produced from the most abundant and carbon-free substance on Earth — water | eng | cb34cda5-75b5-4336-980d-be41da7e430e | https://www.anl.gov/article/fueling-your-curiosity-argonne-answers-top-questions-on-hydrogen-fuel |

Islam, Women and Feminism ( 8 Nov 2017, NewAgeIslam.Com)
A Lesson to All Men
By Rafia Zakaria
November 08, 2017
SHAHZAD Saqib was a married man who wanted to marry again. Not bothering to get permission from his wife Ayesha Bibi, he proceeded to marry another woman. When she found out, she did what many more first wives in Pakistan should do — she took her case to court. In court, her lawyers argued that the Family Laws Ordinance requires that the man obtain permission from his first wife prior to marrying the second. Saqib, for his part, made the argument that since it was his right to marry four wives, he should not have to obtain permission from anyone at all.
He was wrong. As the verdict showed, the Family Laws Ordinance requires that any man seeking permission to marry a second time must submit a written application to the chairman of the Arbitration Council. If no chairman has been appointed, the application, it has been pointed out, can be submitted to the council. If such an application is not submitted then the ordinance imposes fines and even imprisonment for men who do not follow the letter of the law.
Few judges in Pakistan have enforced the provision. Some are amenable to the premise that since the permission to marry four women has been granted in Islam, all the conditions attached to the union which are also established by religion, can be ignored. The matter came up in a Supreme Court decision sometime ago. The judges in that case correctly pointed to the fact that the permission for polygamy is not a blanket grant but rather qualified by the idea of doing justice between all wives.
Under the provisions of the ordinance, the failure to obtain permission from the wife and the Arbitration Council can be brought to a court's attention by the 'aggrieved party'. In simple terms, under the ordinance any woman who knows that such permission either from her or the chairman of the Arbitration Council was not obtained can take the man to court. In the second case discussed here, a sentence of one month's imprisonment was imposed on the man who had flouted the law. In the case of Shahzad Saqib, a jail term of six months has been imposed. The law permits judges to impose a prison sentence of up to one year.
The imposition of these sentences marks a commendable move forward in the effort to make family laws more equitable for Pakistani women and sets a good example for other Muslim countries to emulate. As organisations such as Sisters in Islam from Malaysia have been pointing out for many years, there is no blanket permission for polygamy in Islam or in the Holy Quran.
Furthermore, the deleterious effects of polygamy on women and children documented by this organisation call for intervention by judicial institutions whose very purpose is to maintain equity among different members of society and to protect institutions such as the family. The evidence collected by the group reveals that both women and children living in polygamous households experience high amounts of emotional stress and upheaval leading to depression and other illnesses. Most of the children reported neglect from the father once he acquired a second wife.
More recent research published in the Journal of Family Studies in 2015 found that children in polygamous families suffer more mental health issues than those in monogamous families. Specifically, children and adolescents in non-monogamous families are said to exhibit poor adjustment, aggressive and anti-social behaviour, communication disorders and poor self-concept.
Some may have a predilection for drug abuse and alcoholism. Unsurprisingly, children from such families have lower levels of academic achievement than those from families with one father and one mother. Incidents of family violence, marital discord and ultimately divorce are also more likely in polygamous homes, leaving everyone involved subject to high levels of stress and insecurity.
All these findings have a bearing on the issue of polygamy because increasingly and regularly marrying multiple women is presented by the men involved as an altruistic act aimed at helping women who otherwise do not have a male protector, or children who may not have a living father.
Going by the findings mentioned, it appears that polygamy creates far more problems than it solves, leaving both the women and children involved in far worse shape than if they were fending for themselves. The problem in these cases is not the destitution faced by women, but rather a society that imagines having a male protector as the only way women can obtain safety and security in a society.
For all these reasons, the judicial enforcement of the imprisonment provisions of the Family Law Ordinance must be saluted and welcomed. Unless existing laws that underscore the requirement of punishment when permission is not obtained are enforced, the myths that polygamy is an unqualified right, that all men are judges who can issue unilateral decrees upon their wives, and that everyone benefits from polygamy, will never be displaced in the minds of the ignorant and self-absorbed. Legislation, enacted as it is by elected representatives, is the first step towards ensuring that Pakistani women are treated as the equals that they are under Pakistani law; actual enforcement of legislation is the second and equally crucial step.
The case of Shahzad Saqib, who set out to marry again without obtaining permission from his first wife and without following the correct legal procedures, should be a cautionary tale for all men. What conscience seems to have been unable to stop, perhaps the fear of prison will. | eng | 22bad628-72fa-4ae6-9f8b-a78d9a2c75a5 | https://www.newageislam.com/islam-women-and-feminism/rafia-zakaria/a-lesson-to-all-men/d/113149 |

How Often Should a Dog Poop?
A question as old as time itself, and a topic that many shy away from. But a dog's poop can be an important indicator of his/her overall digestive health. It's important, therefore, that we, as loving dog owners, check their stool from time to time.
Besides the composition of the stool itself, another good indicator of gut health is the frequency of stools. With that in mind, we've put together this comprehensive guide answering questions on just how often your dog should be pooping.
How Often Should Dogs Poop?
There's no simple answer to this question. Some dogs poop more than others, simply because that's just the way they are. But a good rule of thumb is that dogs should poop at least once a day. Some may poop up to five times, and others in between. So if your dog poops 3 times a day, that's fine too. Anything over five, though, could be worth keeping an eye on.
What Time Do Dogs Poop?
There's no special poop time zone. It takes dogs roughly four hours to digest their food. This usually works out as being first thing in the morning or early in the evening. It's worth mentioning that the above is for adult dogs.
How often should a puppy poo, we hear you ask? Well, puppies will often poop more than five times per day as they eat little and often, so their digestive system is always working at maximum capacity and what comes out the other end follows suit.
What Can Change How Often a Dog Poops?
There are many things that can have an impact on your dog's digestive system and how often they need to do their business. Some are unavoidable and caused by things beyond your, or your dog's, control; others can be solved or, at least, lessened to an extent:
How much they've eaten in the last 24 to 48 hours. This is fairly plain and simple; the more dogs eat, the more they need to poop.
The amount of fibre in their diet. Dog food needs an even balance of the right fibre. Too much can cause constipation.
Medication. Certain types of medication may have an impact on your dog's digestive system, increasing or reducing how often they poop.
Stress. Just like humans, how dogs feel can sometimes cause them to have irritable bowels.
Dogs will show irregular pooping patterns throughout their lives, but there are two ends to the spectrum which are less common. In this instance, we're talking about diarrhoea and constipation. These can both be caused by a number of factors similar to the ones listed above, things like eating too much or eating poor quality food. Roundworms and ringworms can also cause issues with your dog's pooping frequency/regularity, too.
How to Solve Irregular Pooping
If your dog appears to be struggling with constipation or diarrhoea, then the first thing you need to do is consult your vet. They'll help you diagnose the problem and help you find a solution.
For dogs with diarrhoea, there are some things you can try yourself.
Fasting for 12 hours should allow your dog's tract to settle down and their stool to firm up. Another option may be switching them to sensitive stomach dog food to help ease anything that's upsetting their digestive health.
If your dog appears to have constipation, then you should look to buy food that's high in fibre and encourage them to drink more; fluid helps to keep things moving. This should help get things back to normal and restore an ideal balance. Exercise is also a great way to help food move through the intestine faster, so a walk or some playtime in the garden can help, too.
The Bottom Line
While the frequency of your dog's poop is something to keep an eye on, there are other things that tell us more about their digestive health. Even if your pooch appears to be pooping a lot more than usual, it's not something you should be too concerned about if the poop is well-formed and looking healthy as these things can.
As long as the state of their stool ticks the below criteria, then their increased poop rate is likely to be down from eating too much food. Generally speaking, if the stool is okay, then there's no need to panic.
Healthy Poop Checklist
Consistency
Healthy poop should be compact, moist and hold its shape when you pick it up. If it's watery and runny, then it's likely they've got an upset stomach.
Shape
The shape of your dog's poop should be like a log, and should largely maintain this shape when you pick it up with compostable poop bags.
Size
This really does depend on the size of your dog. Smaller dog breeds should obviously have smaller poop compared to a Great Dane or Mastiff. The general rule is that your dog poop should be consistent. If it's larger than normal, this could suggest food isn't being digested properly; if smaller, then it could be down to a loss of appetite, illness or a blockage.
Colour
Dog poop should be light or dark brown – any other colour could be a cause for concern. The colour of your dog's poop is a great indicator, so make sure to give it a second glance from time to time
How Many Times a Day Should a Dog Poop? | Conclusion
There's no definitive answer for the number of times a dog should poop every day. Each dog is different, and their digestive systems are, too. Generally speaking, they should be pooping at least once per day, though.
It's important to keep a watchful eye and identify anything unusual or irregular. But as long as their stool is the right colour, maintains its shape, consistency and size, then it's likely everything is okay. They're probably just having one of those days.

The XBee 3 is not the same as the XBee S1. The S1 used a fixed clock rate where by the XBee 3 does not. As such, its actual baud rate is considerably more accurate than the old S1 was.

There are people (*) who say that the Buddha did not believe in rebirth. They claim the 'evidence' is that the Buddha mentioned rebirth only to lay people but never to his disciples. I think the reason these people are confused is that they don't know the difference between mundane right view and supramundane/transcendent right view. (To those who understand the four noble truths and dependent co-arising, the Buddha did not even need to mention rebirth.)
If my memory is right, there were suttas in which someone dies and the disciples ask the Buddha where the person gets reborn and the Buddha gives them the answer. Does someone remember which suttas they were? I think such a sutta might help those (*) realize their confusion.
the 'evidence' is that the Buddha mentioned rebirth only to lay people but never to his disciples
When people make such obviously wrong arguments, it's usually not enough to just point out that it is wrong. Anyone familiar with the suttas would immediately know how silly that is. Yet to them it means something.
Underlying this is a clash of views. Typically it happens when people believe two things:
In a purely materialistic interpretation of modern science.
That the Buddha was enlightened.
If the Buddha taught rebirth, then in their eyes, this conflicts with the evidence of modern science, and forces the unpalatable inference that the Buddha was not enlightened. Reluctant to accept that, they then make various arguments against the idea the Buddha taught rebirth, all of which founder on the obvious fact that rebirth is literally everywhere in the early texts.
This is why it's usually impossible to convince people who have made up their mind. Now, if someone is still exploring that's different. But if they're committed to the view, they'll just shift their ground or cite some authority or whatever. This is no longer a rational and civil discussion that can have a useful outcome. The more they are challenged, the more defensive they'll get and the less amenable to reason.
And driving all this is a fundamental craving: the fear of death. We all cope with this in our own ways, by reassuring ourselves that we understand and know what will happen. People sometimes argue that religions offer an idea of another world to stave off fear of death, as if believing in nothing was brave and real. But this misunderstands the psychology. Most religions, and certainly Buddhism, don't present rebirth as an unalloyed comfort. On the contrary, the Buddha went to great lengths to make it appear as scary as hell. Literally!
The comfort comes from a sense of knowing. Knowing what comes next, or what does not come next. Having the idea that you are not facing an abyss of uncertainty. And so "knowing" there is no rebirth is just as much, or as little, of a comfort as "knowing" there is rebirth.
The crucial thing, I think, is to recognize that such views distort science just as much as they distort religion. Science cannot say whether there is rebirth or not, or whether everything can be reduced to matter. That is an inference, an interpretation, and it belongs to the philosophy of science rather than to science itself. There are plenty of scientists who believe in rebirth (or some other non-scientific views) and it is usually the non-scientists who insist on materialism. Scientists are well aware of the limits of their methods.
So how to proceed? Well, start by recognizing that when people insist on views that are contrary to the facts, it is not because they are stupid (I mean, they might be!), but because they have some sort of emotional or spiritual need, some lack. So begin with empathy. Listen to them. Acknowledge their views. Find a connection. Give them the space to relax and feel unthreatened. When they finish the conversation, no matter what they say they believe, what they will remember is the feeling they had. And if the feeling is one of compassion and understanding, their walls will start to melt.
Once I was part of a panel of religious leaders from several faiths; we did a Q&A at a school. One kid asked, "what happens after we die?" The priest said, "I don't really know, but this is what my church teaches". And the rabbi said the same, and the imam said the same, and the pastor said the same, and I said the same. When you have confidence in your heart, you don't have to be defensive. And so the kids went away from that meeting knowing that a deep religious faith does not require you to be dogmatic about your beliefs.
OMG. Dear Bhante Sujato, I cannot thank you enough for having created such a wonderful site like this and also for trying to give your answers to as many questions as possible. I deeply appreciate the time and effort people put here to inform one another. It is a prototytical act of pure mettā.
When I run into self-professed Buddhists who make arguments contradicting the EBT, I feel heart-broken in a way. So I tend to focus on letting them realize their contradictions. But I realize thanks to you that it may be as much clinging on my end as their clinging.
Underlying this is a clash of views. Typically it happens when people believe two things:
In a purely materialistic interpretation of modern science.
That the Buddha was enlightened.
…One can answer the question from many angles. Firstly you can just say that they have a wrong view.
Or you can just say that they are unwise not wise, muddleheaded and confused. For example they seem to recognise the distinction between ariya and puthujjana, but basic description of certain ariya, namely sotapanna contains information that he has to be born again at most seven times. One can hold certain wrong ideas, because he is not well informed - doesn't known Suttas. But in the case of one who knows them and who holds views evidently contradictory to Suttas and doesn't perceive the contradiction, lack of wisdom (I choose more polite negative description then the positive one: he is …) is a good explanation.
whatTBH I'm not familiar with that argument. I'm sure there can be other drivers for views, I was only focusing on that case. It just seems, regardless of whether or not someone explicitly says so, the whole fact that the debate exists is because of the encounter between Buddhism and modernity.
not so clear to me that that argument is driven by a materialistic interpretation
I think the basic (doctrinal) argument here is that mundane right view is clearly spelled out to include rebirth, while supermundane right view is more equated with anattā.
This kind of view tends to be espoused by American Vipassanā teachers who find teaching rebirth to Americans a "losing battle" anyway. So, if Vipassanā practice and Stream Entry only require anattā, then why bother trying to get people to mundane right view, when we can just "jump" straight to the supermundane?
Right view, I tell you, is of two sorts: There is right view with effluents, siding with merit, resulting in acquisitions [of becoming]; there is right view that is noble, without effluents, transcendent, a factor of the path.
In some cases such arguments refer to Ajahn Buddhadasa's book Paticcasamuppada - Practical Dependent Origination and quote passages such as this:
When teaching morality, it is necessary to speak as if sentient beings existed, as if persons, selves, and even the Tathagata, existed. It is even necessary, in teaching morality, to go so far as to teach that people should make merit, so that when they die they will receive the results of that merit. But when teaching the ultimate truth, the Buddha spoke as if sentient beings, persons, even the Tathagata himself, did not exist. There are only those interdependent events which arise for a moment and then pass away. Each of those events is called paticca-samup-panna-dhamma (events which arise by reason of the law of conditionally) and are called Paticcasamuppada when they are connected together in a chain or string of events. There is no way to say "who" or "self" in any of those moments, even the present one, so there is no one born and no one to die and receive the results of past deeds (karma), as in the case of the theory of eternalism. Moreover, it is not a matter of dying and disappearing altogether, as in the theory of annihilationism (uccheda-dilthi), because there is no one to be annihilated after this moment. Being here now is Dependent Origination of the middle way of ultimate truth, and it goes together with the noble eightfold path—the middle way which can be used even in matters of morality. | eng | c485f86b-7d89-4fb3-b5c7-a693de4c3d8b | https://discourse.suttacentral.net/t/the-buddhas-answer-on-someones-rebirth-place/28593 |

Abstract
Artificial neural networks are function-approximating models that can improve themselves with experience. In order to work effectively, they rely on a nonlinearity, or activation function, to transform the values between each layer. One question that remains unanswered is, "Which non-linearity is optimal for learning with a particular dataset?" This thesis seeks to answer this question with the MNIST dataset, a popular dataset of handwritten digits, and vowel dataset, a dataset of vowel sounds. In order to answer this question effectively, it must simultaneously determine near-optimal values for several other meta-parameters, including the network topology, the optimization algorithm, and the number of training epochs necessary for the model to converge to good results. | eng | 11f1f87a-f182-47a6-83b9-f898f0ed8339 | https://scholarworks.uark.edu/csceuht/44/ |

Germany History – The Hohenstaufen
The game between the aristocracy and the king of Germany – who as such, moreover, was the designated emperor – was mainly played around the question of the elective nature of the sovereign function. In fact, Henry V was not called to succeed the throne by the German princes the Duke of Swabia Frederick, his natural successor, but Lothair of Supplimburg, with the result that during all or almost all of his reign (1125-37) he had to reckon with the rebellion of the Swabians.
On Lothair's death, the aristocracy did not elect the designated heir, Henry the Superb Duke of Saxony, but Conrad III of Hohenstaufen, head of the Swabian party. Thus the foundations of the struggle for control of the crown were laid between the house of Swabia – whose supporters, named after the castle of Waibling, were called Ghibellines – and that of Bavaria and Saxony, or the party of the Guelphs, descendants of Guelph duke of Bavaria (fig. 2); the struggle lasted throughout the reign of Conrad (1138-52) before being temporarily blocked under Frederick I Barbarossa (1152-90).
The effort of the Hohenstaufen was to build a strong central power, using elements related to them for the administration – in particular the ministeriales -, and inserting the German aristocracy in an iron feudal pyramid which had the sovereign at its apex. The construction of vast territorial lordships was also supported, entrusted to loyal vassals, such as the Babenbergs, who at first obtained Bavaria and then saw their county of Austria transformed into a hereditary duchy. If on the southern side the Hohenstaufen strengthened their position, the same cannot be said for the North-East, where in that same period the Margrave Alberto l'Orso excelled, who in 1142 obtained the brand of Brandenburg as a fief, and the Duke of Saxony, the Guelph Henry the Lion. Returning from the unfortunate 2nd crusade (1147-49), Conrad reconciled with Henry, who for his part had launched a real crusade against Vend and Abodriti (1147).
A true Guelph territorial state thus began to take on its own physiognomy, which from Saxony reached the lands beyond the Elbe, snatched from the Slavs also with a massive peasant penetration from Rhineland, Franconia, Thuringia, Saxony and the Netherlands: peasants (called guests) were settled in the center of the land to be cleared, in new villages, with privileged statutes. Alongside the villages, real new cities were also born. It is the beginning of the process that will lead German peasants, knights and merchants to re-Germanize the eastern part of Germany, settling deeply in the heart of Eastern Europe and profoundly changing its physiognomy. The foundation must be framed in the context of this mighty growth of Germany nordof Lübeck (1143), which became the main freight port of the Baltic when in Visby, in 1161, the Hansa.
Frederick I Barbarossa
Committed, however, hard in Italy, against the communal powers and the papal opposition to an increased Germanic presence in the peninsula, Frederick I failed in the attempt to create between northern Italy and Germany a block capable of acting as an effective counterweight to the evolution of the German North. The defeat of Legnano against the Lombard League (1176) reduced the Italian ambitions of the sovereign and rekindled the conflict with Henry the Lion. Frederick, who had been elevated to the Empire by Hadrian IV in 1154, tried Henry as his feudal superior, deposed him depriving him of Bavaria and Saxony and forced him into exile (1181). The Guelph state was then dismembered among numerous feudal lords: Bavaria went to Otto of Wittelsbach, Saxony was divided between the archbishop of Saxony and Bernardo d'Anhalt, increasing the shattering of public authority. In fact, throughout his political career Frederick, despite his high conception of imperial majesty, behaved in Germany as an authentic faction leader, aimed above all at granting privileges and favors in order to build a clientele that was able to supply troops. for his Italian expeditions and to control the kingdom during his absence. His sixth descent in Italy was aimed at having his son Henry crowned king of Italy and marrying Constance of Altavilla, heir to the Norman Kingdom (1186). Two years later, Frederick met his death in the third crusade.
From Henry VI to Frederick II
His son Henry VI, neglecting the authentic Germanic frontier (that of the North-East), engaged in a hard war to have his rights on the Kingdom of Sicily recognized; crowned emperor in 1191, he then had to face a revolt of the great aristocracy in Germany His early death in 1197 put an end to his plans for a universal empire and again plunged Germany into the whirlwind of the civil war between Guelphs and Ghibellines. The crown was disputed by Otto of Brunswick, son of Henry the Lion, who was elected with the support of the archbishop of Cologne, and Philip of Swabia, brother of Henry VI and uncle of little Frederick Roger, son of the deceased emperor. I support that Pope Innocent III said to Otto aimed at preventing the union of Sicily with Germany. But, the alliance soon cracked, the pope excommunicated the Guelph and supported the candidacy of Frederick, who in 1212 managed to get himself elected king by some of the German princes; the battle of Bouvines (1214), won by the arms of Philip Augustus of France, marked the definitive defeat of Otto, ally of John Senzaterra king of England, in favor of Frederick, ally of the king of France. In 1220 Frederick was also crowned emperor in Rome by Pope Honorius III. Before leaving Germany, Federico had issued the Confederatio cum principibus ecclesiasticis, with which it granted the bishops authentic powers of territorial government by renouncing to impose new taxes on the lands of the Church, to intervene in the succession of fiefdoms, to build cities or fortresses in the bishop's domains.
At the same time the presence of military religious orders began to make itself felt in the Baltic area: the creation of the order of the Sword Knights by Albert Bishop of Livonia dates back to 1201. In 1226 the Teutonic Order received, through the great master Ermanno di Salza, a bull that attributed Prussia, largely pagan and still to be conquered. The conquest turned into a war of extermination against the pagan Baltics and, although already in 1234 Gregory IX granted Prussia as a fief to the Teutonic Order (which two years later merged with the Sword-holders, thus expanding into Livonia), only in 1283 the conquest of the country could be said to be assured. From that moment colonization developed by German and Polish peasants. However, the development of Prussian cities with the passage of time ended up constituting a counterweight to the authority of order. Meanwhile, the expansion of the Teutons towards the east had been stopped in 1242 by the Russians of Novgorod. The birth of Germanic Prussia also marked a decisive moment for the economic growth of Hansa, which in those same years had to deal with the resourcefulness of the kings of Denmark, in particular of Valdemaro II. (1202-41): Pomerania, Mecklenburg, Norway, the cities of Hamburg and Lübeck had been subjected to tribute and forced to take oaths of submission. Valdemaro went to Estonia and Lithuania ; the German reaction materialized in the battle of Bornhöved (1227), where Valdemaro was defeated thus leaving the Germans free field on the Baltic.
Henry VII at the 'Great Interregnum'
According to Topschoolsoflaw, Frederick, embroiled in the problem of the crusade, was excommunicated and also had to face the too autonomous politics of his son Henry VII, elected king of Germany (1228), who became the interpreter of more strictly German interests, relying on the small service aristocracy of ministeriales and the rich and advanced Rhenish cities. The opposition of the princes forced Henry to grant, in the Diet of Worms, the Constitutio in Favorm Principum(1231), ratified by Frederick II the following year, with which not only the ancient rights of the feudal lords over the cities were restored, but the princely power also made great strides: the feudal lords reserved the right exclusive of minting coins; the emperor undertook not to build cities and castles in their territories without their consent. Going to Germany to put an end to the frond of his son – who had made a pact with the cities of Northern Italy connected in the second Lombard League -, Federico deposed him and imprisoned him: Henry died in 1242 and heir to the throne became the second son Corrado. Frederick finally promulgated a great imperial peace in the Diet of Mainz of 1235, which should have formed the basis for a new legislative order of the Kingdom. Taken by Italian problems, Federico in his last years lost interest in Germany, where his son Corrado took over on his death (1250). Corrado died after only four years, the Germany fell into the so-called Great interregnum (1254-73). | eng | 65523640-d456-4e8c-b7aa-aace55fb3476 | https://www.smber.com/germany-history-the-hohenstaufen/ |

Have a Sustainable Summer with Wisconsin Beef
Are you firing up the grill this weekend? As we remember and honor those who served our country, over half of Americans will enjoy burgers, hot dogs, brats, steaks and more prepared on a grill.
Whether you picked up your hamburger and steaks at the grocery store, your favorite local butcher or bought it directly from a local farmer, you can be certain that the beef meets the highest standards for animal and environmental care.
Wisconsin farmers prioritize caring for the environment and are committed to caring for high-quality beef while finding innovative ways to protect the land.
Farmers work with experts to develop the best environmental and animal care practices. Similar to following the guidelines from your pediatrician or doctor, farmers work with nutritionists to formulate rations that ensure each cow is getting the proper nutrition. They also work with veterinarians to practice the best care and comfort for their animals year-round.
Grazing cattle helps to improve the ground year after year. Cattle put nutrients back into the soil and spread their own manure.
Cattle graze on land that is not suitable for farming. They can upcycle this otherwise unusable land into high-quality protein for your grill and picnic table. We would prefer to enjoy a juicy hamburger over a handful of grass during the long weekend, and thankfully cows allow us to do that by eating the grass we cannot eat and turning it into delicious meat.
Sustainable beef might have more than one connection to your Memorial Day picnic. Cattle also eat leftovers from human food production. Spent grains from brewing beer provide energy for cattle. While you enjoy your cold refreshment at your picnic, remember that cattle have an important role in eliminating food waste. They are turning the leftovers of products we enjoy into even more food for our tables.
If you have your own leftovers after your Memorial Day picnic, get creative storing and reusing them. Try adding your leftover steak or hamburger to a salad for some extra protein. You can also freeze leftovers for a quick and easy meal during busy summer nights. Reusing and correctly storing leftovers helps to reduce food waste and your overall impact on the environment.
When you fire up your grill this summer, you can feel confident that your hamburger patties and fresh cuts of steak come from the best beef in the world – raised with sustainability and animal care as a top priority. Farmers care about their animals and land. That exceptional care is reflected in the high-quality product on your table feeding your family. Make beef part of your sustainable summer! How will you enjoy beef this holiday weekend | eng | 07e39168-677e-465f-9697-f1809baaca77 | https://wfbf.com/food-and-farming/have-a-sustainable-summer-with-wisconsin-beef/ |
Designing For Neurodiversity in the Workplace
Share
min read
The workplace has evolved to support new ways of working and accommodate individuals' needs; it is no longer just somewhere people go to do work. Designing a workplace that provides the right balance of spaces is an integral part of a high-performing workplace. The office should give people the freedom to move around and interact with their surroundings in a way that's best for them.
Designing an inclusive workplace that accommodates neurodiversity and supports a range of working styles has become a priority for businesses. While neurodiversity and inclusion have become increasingly common talking points in the workplace, there is still a disconnect between the physical environment and supporting employee mental health. A poll held by CIPD showed that only around 10% of employers would say neurodiversity is a consideration in their organisations' people management practices.
The word "neurodiversity" is not new terminology but there is still a need to raise awareness of how to design spaces that support neurodivergent workers and make the workplace more inclusive overall. While some employers may not fully understand the complexities of the challenges their neurodivergent workers may face individually, the overarching view is that those that can create balanced, inclusive workplaces will see a positive impact on staff wellbeing and productivity.
What is neurodiversity?
"Neurodiversity" is an umbrella term for people who have a variety of conditions which causes them to think, act and create in a non-typical way. Someone who is neurodivergent may have autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, dyslexia and Tourette syndrome or other conditions.
Personality types, such as Introvert, Extrovert and Ambivert, do not qualify as neurodiverse. While these personality types will have their working preferences and traits, it is important to distinguish that neurodiversity goes beyond social behaviours.
It is estimated that around 15-20% of people are neurodivergent and designing for neurodiversity is not a one-size-fits-all approach. Having the ability to understand that people have a variety of needs will enable your workplace to be better equipped for all employees. When we talk about designing for neurodiversity, we are focusing on creating inclusive environments that provide spaces for people to complete their tasks in a way that suits them best. While this sounds like a similar premise to activity-based working, the environment is designed for people to work how they like, rather than their task dictating the type of space they need.
What types of workspaces support neurodiversity?
A space that accommodates neurodiversity has subtle differences between areas, offering unique settings that allow people to work in areas that are best suited to them. However, it is critical that these areas feel incorporated into the main design.
Designing a workplace which supports neurodiverse workers can be achieved by making considerate, intelligent changes as the types of spaces don't necessarily need to be that different to accommodate neurodivergent staff. Including headphones in meeting rooms to help prevent sensory overload or manually adjustable light controls are two quite simple adjustments which can transform an environment.
Organisations and business leaders are realising their role in making workplaces more inclusive as more than just a moral decision. Harvard Business Review reports that neurodiversity has shown to be a competitive advantage for major companies who are running specific programs.
"Managers say they are paying off in ways far beyond reputational enhancement. Those ways include productivity gains, quality improvement, boosts in innovative capabilities, and broad increases in employee engagement."
Creating an inclusive workspace requires you to consider more than just neurodivergent workers, you must also consider the different personality types and subsequent working preferences of your people. By analysing how people work, it is possible to attribute certain spaces to different working types. Having a selection of workspaces is a generic rule that applies to all workplaces but if you want to help people achieve their maximum productivity levels, the office must flex in different ways.
Which working styles do you need to support in the workplace?
We all work in different ways and the design and layout of an office is responsible for making it easy for people to be productive by working in conditions that they respond to best. Working styles are more generic than the intricate needs of a neurodivergent employee, however, it does help to consider the four main groups to understand how different people respond to certain spaces.
With a wide range of working styles and preferences, there is a definite need to design a workplace that provides choices and accommodates diversity. If the environment doesn't respond to people and how they like to work, it will be an uphill struggle for companies that want to attract more staff back into the office.
Data orientated
Data orientated workers are best suited to quiet spaces. Quiet workspaces are an essential part of a workplace but they are especially important when supporting a variety of working styles and individuals. There should be dedicated areas that allow people to escape the main working areas and concentrate on more challenging tasks.
There should be an option between an area to sit quietly and think between meetings, as well as a dedicated space for highly focused work.
Detail orientated
Detail orientated workers are those that thrive in a traditional environment with a task chair and desk. These workers will tend to avoid the more casual environments unless when they are working with others as part of a group.
Having a wide range of meeting rooms which provide different tools, technology and commitment will enable detail orientated workers to work in spaces that benefit their productivity. The lighting, seating and fabrics used in these spaces play an important role for neurodiverse workers as they will allow them to move to the best location for the activity they are doing.
Emotionally orientated
Workers that are more emotionally, or socially, driven require dedicated space for collaboration and interaction. Establishing a connection with the wider working community is a defining feature of an emotionally orientated worker as they typically benefit from other people and respond to the energy of the people around them.
These emotionally orientated workers will tend to move towards open, louder workspaces where they can speak with others and work as a team rather than be tucked away in a quiet setting.
Idea orientated
Idea orientated workers need more agile and open spaces to embrace their creativity. Agile spaces are any type of space that allows employees to move away from their fixed desks; not only somewhere to go and work on a task.
Idea orientated workers need the freedom to move around and innovate. Multifunctional spaces like booths, height adjustable desks and informal workspaces allow for movement and a choice between settings which allows workers to select their workspace based on the task at hand.
Enabling neurodiversity in the workplace
Designing a workplace that supports neurodiversity is more than adding diverse spaces that will make people more productive by listening to their needs. Neurodiversity accounts for a broad range of conditions, all of which may manifest in different ways so there needs to be a dynamic solution. The office itself can be designed to give people what they need from an operational level but the individual nuances may require adapting to deliver a long-term solution.
Organisations can improve their input by becoming more aware of the challenges and approaching the subject with greater knowledge and sensitivity. These changes come down to improving the office experience for workers and this can be approached on many levels to ensure people are getting the most out of their time in the office.

GIANNA MOLINARI
A village afraid of vanishing takes measures to make sure it doesn't: the hedge so popular with tourists is tended to and taken care of, and a regular check is kept on the village finances. Above all the children, Pina and Lobo, the village's future, are taken care of. However, it's a long time since Pina and Lobo grew. Whilst the village waits for a growth spurt, Pina's mother sits in the Artic and watches the ice melt and borders shift.
Once again, Gianna Monlinari presents a striking portrait of the way nature and culture interweave, a novel that challenges our ideas about growth and stagnation. | eng | bb5e7d65-4fe1-47cb-9fb2-ee25ddf188b2 | https://www.literaturhaus-basel.ch/en/event/2023_gianna-molinari/ |
How Blue Can A Blue Norther Be?
By Bob Henson
Nov 22, 2022 In some locations, this is even larger than the difference between the coolest and warmest month, leading to the old saying that "night is the winter of the tropics."
For a parched contrast, let's consider the semiarid climates just to the east of the central and northern Rockies. Here, a downslope chinook wind can send the temperature rising by 20°F or more in a matter of minutes. Spearfish, South Dakota, famously rocketed from –4°F at 7:32 a.m. to 45°F in at 7:34 a.m. on January 22, 1943.
Growing up in Oklahoma, where air masses regularly jostle for position across the open plains, I marveled at the rapid temperature swings produced by cold fronts. The most dramatic of all were the "blue northers", the fast-moving fronts of autumn that can sweep across the unobstructed landscape from North Dakota to north Texas in a single day, sometimes moving at close to highway speeds. The name originates from the gunmetal blue-gray clouds that typically form along and just behind the surface front.
Once, on November 11, I remember my favorite childhood weathercaster, the late Jim Williams, commenting on the fact that Oklahoma City's record high of 83°F and its record low of 17°F occurred just hours apart on the same date. That was November 11, 1911 (or 11/11/11), a date that Oklahoma state climatologist Gary McManus has dubbed "a palindrome to remember."
Daily high temperatures on November 11, 1911, stayed below 0°F over parts of the northern High Plains, while they soared above 80°F from most of Texas to southern Missouri and Mississippi. (NWS/Louisville, KY)
This bluest of all blue northers in U.S. history—sometimes called the Great Blue Norther of 11/11/1911—turned a springlike Saturday into a bone-chilling Saturday night for millions of people across the central United States.
As the cold front and associated upper-level storm swept across the nation, they spawned a major autumn tornado outbreak from Illinois and Iowa to Michigan. At least 13 people were killed by at least nine significant tornadoes that day, including three rated F3 or F4 on the Fuijita scale. The worst was an F4 that plowed through Rock County in southern Wisconsin, where rescuers and survivors were engulfed in blizzard conditions less than an hour later.
The twisters rated front-page mention on the New York Times on November 12, 1911, in an article headlined "23 DIE IN CYCLONE IN THE MIDDLE WEST". (Tornadoes were often called cyclones in the early 1900s, as in the film The Wizard of Oz; the death toll from this outbreak was later lowered.)
An excerpt from the front page of the New York Times on Sunday, November 12, 1911. (NYT TimesMachine)
Tornadoes do happen in the central United States in autumn, though seldom so far north. The Times' subhead (secondary headline) alluded to what was even more unusual about this particular weekend: "MERCURY DROPS 50 DEGREES."
Indeed, many locations saw temperature drops of 50°F and more in less than 24 hours. The most dramatic drop-offs were in a belt from Oklahoma to Missouri, where some locations saw temperatures plummet more than 60°F in less than 12 hours.
Temperature drops (in degrees Fahrenheit) observed with the passage of the Great Blue Norther of November 11-12, 1911. (Image credit: NWS/La Crosse, Wisconsin)
From Missouri east and north, the frontal passage was quickly followed by bursts of sleet and snow. Columbia, Missouri, went from 82°F at 2 p.m. to 38°F at 3 p.m., with sleet falling by 4 p.m.
In Springfield, Missouri, a record high of 80°F around 3:45 p.m. was followed by a record low of 13°F just before midnight. By morning, it was 9°F, and the next day's high was a mere 21°F.
Springfield's experience on November 11 was recounted at a website produced by the National Weather Service office in Louisville, Kentucky: "Winds to 54 mph for five minutes with gusts to 74 mph accompanied the passage of the front, causing damage to buildings. Thunderstorms brought hail, followed by rain, which turned to sleet less than two hours after the 80° reading earlier in the afternoon."
In Louisville, "on the morning of the 12th the temperature fell from 74° at midnight to 50° at 1am, and was into the mid 20s by the time the sun came up that morning. Winds to 48 mph accompanied the front around 12:30am. When Louisville was in the mid 70s at midnight, Saint Louis was in the upper teens."
In Columbus, Ohio, where early-morning temperatures on November 12 were around 70°F, the front arrived at 3 a.m. with an intense thunderstorm that tore down trees and power lines. According to a local history website, "Columbusites who had been walking around in shirtsleeves on Saturday afternoon made their way to church Sunday morning in a light snow, with ice forming on the puddles, and a bitter wind blowing out of the northwest."
The dual records of 11/11/11 stood in Springfield, Missouri, for many decades. The pairing was eventually disrupted when the record high of 80° was tied on November 11, 1989. The low of 13°F hasn't yet been tied or broken, though.
In Oklahoma City, the dual records both remain untouched. If this ever changes, it'll most likely be because of warmth, as was the case in Springfield. Eleven of Oklahoma City's 30 daily record highs for November have been set since 2000, compared to just one daily record low.
At least for now, these intact twin records from 11/11/11 are like a pair of weather-beaten historical markers along a dusty roadside, providing numerical testimony to just how intense an autumn cold front can get in the Great Plains. | eng | 05814412-5d59-4de4-aed8-df282e255f85 | https://amsweatherband.org/index.cfm/weatherband/articles/how-blue-can-a-blue-norther-be/ |
Shakespeare First Folio Facsimile
On 8 November 1623, Isaac Jaggard and Edward Blount submitted the Folio for registration at the Stationers office. The process of printing this book, begun by William Jaggard, Isaac's father, who unfortunately died shortly before completion, took two years, in part because of numerous interruptions. The Jaggard print shop was a particularly busy one, and other projects sometimes took priority.
On display here is a 1968 photographic facsimile of the Folio prepared by the late University of Kansas Professor of English Charlton Hinman, who taught at KU from 1960 to 1975. He chose the pages from numerous copies of the First Folio (82), held by the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C.
William Shakespeare. The First Folio of Shakespeare Prepared by Charlton Hinman. New York, 1968.
This title page presents a visual image of Shakespeare that has become iconic. Martin Droeshout was the engraver. We find here the official title of the Folio: "Mr. William Shakespeares Comedies, Histories, & Tragedies," which lets us know the principle of organization. The title page also includes this claim: "Published according to the True Originall Copies." The tricky word is "Originall," for the compilers offer no explanation or definition of that term. But it certainly is a shrewd advertising word.
Opposite the title page is a brief poem by Ben Jonson, who urges readers to look "Not on his Picture, but his Booke."
This straightforward page lists the plays included in the volume. Well, not completely: Troilus and Cressida, while in the Folio, is not listed—some problem in the printing process. Cymbeline, we note, comes at the end of the tragedies; today scholars typically put this play among the comedies. We can puzzle over why The Tempest, among Shakespeare's final plays, comes first in the Folio. This volume does not include Pericles, which had been produced and published as recently as 1619 and is accepted in the Shakespeare canon.
This list of 26 actors captures the makeup of the King's Men acting company from 1603 when it came under the patronage of King James. Interestingly, but not surprisingly, Shakespeare's name comes first—a clear pride of place, which John Heminge and Henry Condell, compilers of the First Folio, granted their friend and fellow actor. The second name is Richard Burbage, the recognized greatest actor of that time and for whom Shakespeare wrote most of his leading roles.
Shakespeare's will in 1616 named Burbage, Heminge, and Condell as recipients of money for which they should buy rings, a sign of friendship.
Condell and Heminge write an elaborate epistle dedicatory (dedication letter) that recognizes the patronage of two of the most important noblemen in the Jacobean court: William Herbert (Earl of Pembroke) and his brother Philip Herbert (Earl of Montgomery). William, also singled out by Ben Jonson, remained Lord Chamberlain in 1623 and, with Philip, had received the honor of Order of the Garter. Philip Herbert had the additional distinction of being a Gentleman of the King's Bedchamber, for a while being the only non-Scot in this elite group. Condell and Heminge have obviously chosen wisely. They note that the Herbert brothers have been supporters of Shakespeare and of the theater generally. They had liked the plays when they were acted. The actors assert that they have undertaken the process of collecting the plays solely to honor their friend and fellow. They now "humbly consecrate" to the Herberts "these remains of your servant Shakespeare." As with the address to readers, Heminge and Condell by "remains" mean Shakespeare's body of work.
In this address to readers, Heminge and Condell make several cogent points, the first being that potential readers must first buy this book, an unashamed and rather blunt request. Inherently, this imperative raises questions of the relative rate of literacy and economic status among the public. The actors also note that the plays have already received approbation from audiences, having passed the test of scrutiny in the theaters. Next, the writers indicate something of their editorial procedure as they went about creating this collection of plays. These actors also create a romantic view of how Shakespeare wrote, everything being perfect and not needing revision. They close the address by insisting that readers must read Shakespeare again and again. "And if then you doe not like him, surely you are in some manifest danger, not to understand him." | eng | 234d3980-338c-41a1-94e8-9b163eaf7f03 | https://exhibits.lib.ku.edu/exhibits/show/shakespearesfirstfolio/shakespeare-first-folio-facsim |

Mechanical failure is likely to occur in a mechanical system, be it a simple or complex machine. Machine failures are classified into:
Sudden failures,
Intermittent failures, and
Gradual failures.
A sudden failure is an unexpected breakdown in machinery. An example of this is a melted wire due to overheating.
Intermittent failures come and go, usually on their way to a complete machine failure. Think of a flickering light in your home. It will keep flickering for a few days, and then quit.
A gradual failure reduces the performance of a machine over time. These include things like:
Slowly shedding of a belt,
Dulling of a pipe, and
Pipes that eventually clog with residue buildup.
The common signs of failure in mechanical components are:
An increase in vibrations,
Excessive component heating, and
Leaky joints.
Aside from non-typical vibration and heating, other failure indications are:
Clogged pipes,
Corroded pipes,
Burning smells, and
Abnormal sounds.
The failure of a machine component can cause business interruption. For example, an unplanned machine failure could shut down an entire production line. This is because a business has to remain closed until repairs or replacement of its equipment can take place. During a business interruption, other equipment and resources like rent, wages, and salaries still have to be paid. This makes it necessary to troubleshoot any failure that occurs in a system as soon as possible.
Troubleshooting is a method of finding the cause of a problem and corr ecting it. The ultimate goal of troubleshooting is to get equipment back into service as quickly and as thoroughly as possible.
Troubleshooting is the identification and resolution of problems, especially problems of a technical nature. In comparison, a repair is fixing the damaged condition of the equipment.
Think of a punctured tire. During troubleshooting, we find the exact location of the puncture and solve the problem. Repair is the process of fixing the hole in the tire. During a repair, we know exactly what is wrong with the equipment and how to solve the problem.
A troubleshooting technician must have the following skills to troubleshoot a problem:
A good understanding of a system's workings,
Attention to detail so they can spot the slightest errors in equipment,
Understand everybody's interests,
Communicate decisions, and
Technical skills and experience.
Technical knowledge and experience helps in improving troubleshooting skills. Apart from technical knowledge, troubleshooters need to know the cause of mechanical failure. This will help to reduce future failures of a machine.
Common causes of mechanical failures are:
Not reading the operator's manual,
Improper maintenance, and
Overrunning machines.
Constantly pushing machines to run at maximum performance can strain joints and machine failure is more likely to occur. That's why proper maintenance of machines is necessary. For example, it's essential to lubricate all moving parts periodically.
Mechanical failures can also occur because of:
Not replacing worn parts,
Ignoring warning signals,
Improper storage,
Component misalignment, and
Poor electrical connections.
We can avoid these mechanical failures if the operator performs proper maintenance on a system.
Diagnosing a Problem
If machine failure occurs because of improper maintenance, the troubleshooter needs to diagnose the problem. The troubleshooter needs to ensure that the problem is rectified and does not mask another issue, which could repeat the breakdownLet's learn about each step in detail.
The troubleshooting process begins with symptom recognition. A symptom of poor wheel alignment is a car pulling to one side. During this step, the troubleshooter should note all abnormal symptoms and evaluate what's observed.
The second step of the troubleshooting process heavily relies on the troubleshooter's technical skills and experience. The troubleshooter is responsible for narrowing down the root cause of the problem.
Troubleshooters should narrow down the causes of failure by:
Looking at low maintenance items first to save time, and
Using built-in features in the appliances to self-test and diagnose the issue.
For example, some refrigerator models have diagnostic test modes to detect the cause of a problem. This test mode allows us to diagnose a malfunction inside a refrigerator. This method helps us to narrow down the cause of a problem.
The third step involves rectifying the problem by performing equipment repair. In this step, the troubleshooter has to ensure that the equipment is ready to use.
Next, we need to test the component to verify if the problem is eliminated. This is always done before the machinery is returned to active service. The purpose of this is to prove that the issue no longer exists.
The fifth and final step in troubleshooting is the follow-up that will limit and prevent future issues. Actions may include:
Altering the preventive maintenance schedule, and
Recommending procedure modifications for more dependable performance.
General Safety
While performing troubleshooting, we always need to wear the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). A lack of PPE leads to many injuries in workplaces. For example, wearing gloves while using a portable grinder or buffing wheel can save you from a sharp cutting blade.
While troubleshooting, we should wear the following safety gear:
Safety glasses,
Gloves,
Safety-toed shoes, and
Hard hats.
We also need to remove all jewelry that could be caught in moving machinery.
We need to use the proper tools for a job while troubleshooting equipment to avoid injury. We also need to make sure lubricants are correctly labeled and stored. Improper labeling and storage can lead to contamination and the use of the wrong lubricant.
Mechanical failure is likely to occur in a mechanical system, whether a simple or complex machine. During business interruption, the cost of other equipment and resources still has to be paid. This makes it necessary to troubleshoot any failure that occurs in a systemThe following safety gear is important to wear while troubleshooting to protect ourselves from harm:
Safety glasses,
Gloves,
Hard hats, and
Safety-toed shoes.
General Mechanical Troubleshooting
In this module, we will learn about common failures of mechanical systems. We'll also learn about how to troubleshoot these failures. Skip to Quiz!
Common Failures
Recall thatLet's go over each of these in detail.
Corrosion
Corrosion occurs when metals are exposed to moisture and oxygen. Recall that all mechanical systems, from a simple lever to complex valves, are made of metals. When these systems are exposed to moisture and oxygen, iron and steel will react, forming an oxide.
Recall that peeling paint damages our home walls. Similarly, oxide formation results in the flaking off of material from a metal surface, leading to cavity formation.
Cavity formation is similar to cavities in our teeth. Like germs that eat into our teeth, oxygen in the air flakes off metals and forms a cavity. If corrosion is not prevented, it can cause the failure of a mechanical system.
Corrosion of vital industrial parts, like couplings and gearboxes, is one of the most common causes of equipment failure. That's why we need to troubleshoot rust formation on these components.
It's easy to locate rust, as it can be visually detected. After locating rust, we need to spray WD-40 over the rusted surface and wipe off the rust using a pad. If that does not remove the rust, we can use sandpaper.
To prevent rust from getting on a surface again, we should cover it using protective coatings. Just like brushing our teeth protects germs formation, the paint on metal surfaces protects corrosion. We can apply anti-corrosive coats like inorganic paints on a surface.
Pipe Clogs
Apart from machines, corrosion is most likely to occur in pipes. This is because water or moisture inside a pipe reacts with steel to form iron oxide. The amount of iron rust deposits generated has the potential to clog a pipe.
Food and substances that do not break down will build up in our pipes because of clogging.
We need to remove all pipe fittings and check water flow to detect a pipe clog. If water is not flowing through a particular section of pipe, it indicates a clog. Calcium, Lime, and Rust Remover (CLR) solution clear almost all household clogged or sluggish drains in seconds.
Leaky Joints
Recall that corrosion eats away our pipe material. This can create openings for water to leak out.
Leakage can also result from damaged watertight seals on our pipes. These seals can degrade over time, causing leaks at their source. This leakage is easily identified by dribbling water.
If a leak exists in a plumbing joint, the usual solution is to tighten that joint. But when the problem is found on the pipe itself, usually there is a need to remove the leaking section and replace it with a new one.
We need to apply a suitable solution around the portion where the leak is found. We can also remove the leaking section and replace it with couplings.
Wear
Another common machine failure is due to wear of the material. Wear is a failure mode that occurs due to materials rubbing against each other. For example, a pipe resting on pipe support rubs against the support every time the pipe moves.
Wear can be easily located visually. We can eliminate the cause of pipe erosion due to wear by inserting a pipe wear pad between a pipe and a pipe support.
Since pipe wear pads are softer than a pipe's metal, the pipe pad wears instead of the pipe. We can also lubricate the moving components in a machine to prevent wear.
Vibration and Noise
As machine components like ball or roller bearings, drive belts, or gears become worn, they may cause vibration. Vibration can also result when machine shafts are not aligned with a machine axis.
If a machine is vibrating, it makes unusual sounds. For example, if the axes of a motor and pump are not aligned, we can hear disturbing sounds. To troubleshoot the issue of vibration and sound, we need to align the axes by shifting the machine.
We can also prevent vibration by reducing the wear of machine components. Recall that wear can be reduced by lubricating moving components.
Lubricants need to be applied in an exact amount. This is because under-lubrication risks metal-to-metal contact. In comparison, over-lubrication causes heat build-up and friction as the moving parts continuously push extra grease out of the way.
Overheating
Overheating can also be caused if a machine is running in a much warmer environment. This is because outside temperatures make it more difficult for a machine to cool down properly.
The most likely causes of overheating are:
Blocked ventilation holes,
Using less capacity motor for the application, and
High ambient temperatures.
We need to clean a machine and operate it in the temperature range recommended by its manufacturer.
TheWe need to fix these common failures to avoid total system failure.
Anti-corrosive coats can prevent corrosion. Lubrication reduces friction and allows moving machine parts to slide smoothly past each other. Wear can be reduced by lubricating moving components, which will help reduce vibrations and noise.
Troubleshooting Static Machine Components
In this module, we will learn about the failures of static components in a machine. We'll also learn about how to troubleshoot these failures.Skip to Quiz!
Static Machine Components
A mechanical system consists of stationary and moving components. Some of the stationary components that are part of a mechanical system are:
Mechanical seals, and
Valves.
Let's look at each of them.
Mechanical Seals
Mechanical seals are leakage control devices used in mechanical systems. Mechanical seals prevent fluids, like water or oil, used by a machine from leaking into the external environment. For example, seals on a pump prevent the leakage of liquids.
Mechanical seals come in various forms. These include:
Spring seals,
Multi-spring seals,
Metal bellows seals, and
Cartridge seals.
Considering that there is more than one type of seal, it's essential to identify their best application. Most seal failures occur by selecting the wrong seal for the application. So, we should always follow manufacturer recommendations to select a seal type.
Installing a seal in the wrong direction is another common cause of failure. Improper installation and mishandling of mechanical seal parts can cause chips and cracks in a seal ring.
A mechanical seal might fail due to poor lubrication, or no lubrication at all. When there is no liquid around a seal, it will increase the temperature inside a system. This rapid increase in temperature can damage o-rings or rubber on the seal.
A change in operating conditions may affect the performance of a mechanical seal. For example, high-pressure levels inside a pump can potentially cause parts of a seal to break off.
Now that we know the reasons for failure, let's learn how to identify seal failures. Most seal failures are easy to identify visually. Common signs of seal failures are:
Deep grooves on a seal face,
Cracked seal face, and
Uneven wear tracks.
When you start noticing deep grooves on a seal face, inadequate lubrication may be to blame.
However, these deep grooves could also be caused by abrasive materials present in the fluid used in a pump. When abrasives are embedded in the soft face of a seal, it forms a groove on the seal.
To troubleshoot this issue, flush the seal using proper lubricant. Consider using seal face materials that can withstand abrasive materials in the fluid carried by a pump.
Thermal shock and mechanical seal impact are two reasons a seal face can fracture or crack.
To troubleshoot this failure:
Avoid uneven or over-tightening of seals, and
Eliminate the cause of shock or impact, like misalignment of a shaft.
An even wear track on a seal face usually indicates good contact between the mating seal rings. An uneven wear pattern will usually indicate that a seal ring is distorted due to over tightening, clamping, or excessive pressure.
Other culprits for an uneven wear pattern could be elevated temperatures. We always need to review installation guidelines, techniques, and current operating conditions for the proper running of a seal.
Apply a small amount of grease to the seal and the area of the shaft in contact with the seal. Orient your seal the same way as the initial install. The last step involves the actual pressing-in of the seal.
Valves
Many factors can cause valve failure. Some of the more prominent causes include:
Worn elastomers and seat seals,
Debris in a pipeline,
Operating in excessive high-temperature situations, and
Improper valve installation, maintenance, and assembly.
Failing valves will emit warning signs at the first hint of trouble. For example, failing check valves will start to vibrate and even lose some internal parts when problems arise.
Other symptoms of check valve failure include reverse flow and excessive component wear and damage. Check valves will also emit noises as they start to break down.
Failure of a valve can be identified visually. For example, we can notice too little or too much gas coming out of our gas stove if the gas valve is failed.
Valve failures are caused by damage to the individual components of a valve. The possible causes of component failure are:
Damage to the valve body or valve seat,
Actuator failure,
Coil burn out, and
Damaged seals.
Let's look at each of them.
Valve seats and valve bodies can corrode over time if there is debris inside a pipe. We can notice a hint that a valve is corroded if there is no water coming out of our tap. To troubleshoot this, we need to clean the valve parts and ensure the pipes are clean too.
Actuators facilitate the movement of valve components, enabling a valve to open and close as needed. If we notice that a valve is not opening or closing automatically, there could be actuator failure.
Common issues in an electric actuator may include motor failure or major electrical issues.
Recall that a solenoid valve is actuated using a solenoid coil. If our solenoid valve stops working, the possible cause could be coil burnout. A symptom of coil burnout is burn marks on a coil.
There are several causes of a burnt coil in a solenoid valve. They include:
Wrong voltage, and
A short circuit.
We need to check the voltage signal using a multimeter to troubleshoot this issue.
A valve doesn't shut off or leak if a seal is damaged or worn. Recall that seals prevent the fluid used by a machine from leaking into the external environment. If a valve is leaking, then the possible cause of the valve malfunction is a damaged seal.
We need to follow general guidelines to troubleshoot valve failure once it has been identified. The first step is to identify the location of valve failure.
After identifying the issue, we need to take necessary troubleshooting steps to solve the issue further. We need to ensure appropriate spare parts are on hand before removing a valve from service.
If it is necessary to remove a valve from piping, we need to follow the appropriate procedure. This includes:
Disconnecting the electric supply, and
Lockout Tagout.
Recall that lockout tagout is a procedure used to make sure that equipment is shut down and tagged before performing maintenance. It's used to prevent people from working on machines that may injure them.
After a system is shut down completely, we can start disassembling the valve from the pipe. We need to follow proper disassembly and maintenance procedures to resolve the issue. Then, we need to re-install the valve into the piping with correct electrical connections.
For example, to resolve the issue of coil burnout, we need to check the solenoid valve coil voltage specifications. If the voltage is not in range, then we need to change the coil. Install a new coil thats voltage requirements are in line with our power source.
If a valve is damaged, we need to replace the valve.
The valve on the main supply line is closed before replacing the main shut-off valve. We need to actuate and test the valve to ensure proper function. Monitor valves during an initial run to ensure the replaced valve is operating correctly.
Mechanical seals fail because of:
Selecting the wrong seal,
Installation error,
Lack of lubrication, and
Improper operating conditions.
Valves fail because of:
Damage to a valve body or valve seat,
Actuator failure,
Coil burn out, and
Damaged seals.
We need to troubleshoot these issues to avoid system damage.
Troubleshooting Rotating Machine Components
In this module, we will learn about the failures of rotating components of a machine. We'll also learn about how to troubleshoot these failures.Skip to Quiz!
Rotating Machine Components
Recall that a mechanical system consists of stationary and moving components. Some of the rotating components that are part of a mechanical system are:
Couplings, and
Bearings.
Let's look at each of them.
Couplings
A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts. A coupling permits some degree of misalignment between two shafts that are connected.
A coupling is classified into different types depending on the shaft alignment. A rigid coupling is used to connect two shafts that are perfectly aligned. In comparison, a flexible coupling is used to connect two shafts with lateral and angular misalignment.
Some external signs that indicate potential coupling failure include:
Abnormal noises, like screeching, squealing, or chattering,
Excessive vibrations or wobbles, and
Failed seals indicated by lubricant leakage.
Some of the prominent causes for coupling failure include:
Selecting the wrong coupling,
Misalignment, and
Installation error.
Let's discuss each of them in detail.
Considering that there is more than one type of coupling, proper coupling selection is essential. Improper selection of a coupling can lead to coupling failure.
For example, a universal coupling is used when two shafts axis intersects at a slight angle. In comparison, an Oldham coupling is used where two shafts have a lateral misalignment.
Misalignment of a coupling beyond its specifications introduces the possibility of accelerated wear. Excessive misalignment between joined shafts is one of the most common reasons for coupling failure.
When misalignment exists beyond the specifications of a coupling's manufacturer, we should rectify it with shaft realignment. Then we need to select the appropriate coupling for the application.
After selecting the appropriate coupling for our application, we need to install it correctly. We need to follow coupling installation instructions to avoid installation failure. Far too many times, a coupling is installed without knowing manufacturer specifications, leading to premature failure.
Some of the primary coupling installation instructions might include:
Prepare the coupling and shafts before installation,
Clean mating parts and oil shafts lightly, and
Check to ensure that any misalignment between shafts is within the coupling's ratings.
We need to ensure the proper alignment of a coupling during installation. Always refer to the specific manufacturer's instructions when performing a coupling installation. This reduces the possibility of failure.
Bearings
Bearings are mechanical assemblies that consist of rolling elements and usually inner and outer races. Bearings support and guide components that rotate relative to one another.
There are many reasons why bearing failure may occur. Some of the most common are:
Improper lubrication,
Contamination,
Misalignment, and
Poor-fitting.
Let's look at each of them in detail.
The majority of bearing failures occur because of lubrication failure. If a bearing has been exposed to excessive temperatures, then it can cause the lubricant to degrade. This will lead to the failure of the bearing.
Contamination of lubricants is another common cause of bearing failure. Contamination is caused by foreign substances getting into bearing lubricants. These include dirt, abrasive grit, dust, steel chips from contaminated work areas, and dirty hands or tools.
While some bearings can handle minor misalignment between a shaft and bearing housing, not all can. Typical causes of misalignment include:
Bent shafts,
Contaminated components, and
Improperly positioned shafts and locking nuts.
Recall that misalignment of a shaft can cause vibrations. This can lead to uneven load distribution. If we do not fix the misalignment, excessive vibration can result in bearing failure.
A bearing needs to be properly mounted to an accurately sized shaft. If a bearing does not fit correctly on a shaft, it can become damaged during installation or while operating. In most instances, bearings should be mounted with a press fit on the shaft.
If a shaft is oversized, it will result in a tight fit. If a shaft is undersized, it will result in a loose fit. Both these fits result in damage to the bearing. Just like a pair of shoes, too tight or too loose can mean an improper or uncomfortable fit.
A bearing can be damaged during the actual installation. Installation damage is easily noticeable. For example, if the bearing is not aligned correctly during installation, it cuts the bearing raceway.
Installation damage can be avoided by using correct tools and handling procedures during assembly.
We need to use proper tools when handling and installing bearings. Avoid general-purpose tools like hammers and screwdrivers. All components used to mount bearings should also stay clear of contaminants.
If a bearing failure occurs, it is essential to know the best tools to dismount bearings. To remove failed bearing, we use bearing pullers. A puller securely grips the component with specially designed jaws before driving it off the shaft.
There are two types of bearing pullers. These include:
Internal bearing pullers, and
External bearing pullers.
External bearing pullers are used when a bearing is mounted onto a shaft. They have jaws that grip the outer diameter of the bearing.
Internal bearing pullers are used to fit a bearing or component within a small gap, with an opening in the inner diameter. For example, for removing bearing in a gearbox casing, an internal bearing puller is inserted into the inner diameter of the bearing.
If a bearing fails, we need to replace it.
A coupling is a device used to connect two shafts. Some of the more prominent causes for coupling failure include:
Selecting the wrong coupling,
Misalignment, and
Installation error.
Bearings support and guide components that rotate relative to one another. Some of the most common bearing failures are:
Improper lubrication,
Contamination,
Misalignment, and
Poor-fitting.

Every Time You Think About Going Back To Him, Read This
I know it's hard for you to shut him out of your life, from your head, from your heart. I know you go to bed at night, all alone, fighting with your thoughts, staring at the empty, cold walls.
I know that you are lonely, but that doesn't mean you have to go back to him. I know that you got used to him and his touch.
I know that you were around him for so long and you know nothing else. I know you think he gives you security when actually he makes you anxious.
You can't stop rewinding in your mind everything you've been through, in the hope that you'll find the situation where everything went wrong.
There is an eternal fight inside you because one part of you knows it's best for you to forget him and move on, but the other part is still hooked on to him.
That small part of you is scared and it holds you back. It keeps you running around in circles and getting hurt every single time.
I know you are dying to find out when the love disappeared. Where did it all go wrong? Why did it all become so messy and complicated?
Stop stalking him. Stop calling his number and putting your phone down in panic after you realize what you were about to do.
Stop looking at his profile to see where he's at and who he is with. That won't make it any easier.
It will only make you feel worse. It will make you want him back even more.
You know why you left. You left because he wasn't the same man you fell in love with. You know that, so don't go back to him.
You can't turn back time and relive the moments when the two of you were in love, when he cared about you, when he loved you. Those times are gone and nothing will bring them back.
He is not the man he used to be. He changed.
You don't have to know why or when he changed, you just have to understand that he changed and nothing will bring him back.
Erase him from your memories because you're only hurting yourself. He doesn't care about you and even if you go back to him, he will hurt you again because he still won't care.
Sometimes you dream of changing him and making him see that his behavior is wrong, that he acts like a total jerk. That is what gives you hope and pushes you to get back to him.
But you have to realize that you can't change him, you can't help him. He is the only one who has the power to do that and if he doesn't want to or doesn't get that he needs help, there is no point in staying.
When you were together and when things started to change, do you remember how you felt? Do you remember that you were the one who was responsible for everything bad that happened?
You were the one who wanted to work on your relationship, you wanted to save what was left of your relationship.
You tried so hard to look past all the dumb things he had done, but somehow it all came backfiring at you.
You remember that you had beautiful moments together when you forgot about everything that was going on.
You really thought your relationship got its old spark back, you thought that it had only been a rough patch and you thanked God for that because you loved him.
Well, that bubble was burst in a second because his behavior changed out of nowhere. He went crazy for no reason. He created fights out of nothing.
You don't even remember how it all happened, how you found yourself in the situation where you felt like a piece of shit, unworthy of living.
How did you get yourself into the situation where he was yelling his brains out to you?
How was it possible to hop from one moment of complete happiness to what feels like an eternity of utter sadness?
Every time you wish to get back to him, remember that you were the person he took his frustrations out on.
Remember that his anger and rage were projected onto you and afterward, he was feeling better and you felt like crap. Do you really want to go through all that again?
He doesn't deserve you and he never did.
At the beginning, he was sweet, he cared for you. He called just to say he loved you, but then all of that disappeared, like someone turned off a switch.
He became someone you no longer recognized. He wasn't your person anymore, he was just a person.
You wanted to get out then, but it was like he knew you were about to leave him so he would switch back to the good old days and become the person you fell in love with, just to keep you, to emotionally blackmail you, to make you feel too guilty to leave him.
And when you decided to stay, everything would be the same, so he would stop caring, and he would ignore you and treat you like you didn't even exist.
Once again you were left degraded and hurt. All alone in a relationship with a man who had turned into a complete monster.
I know you were scared to move on. I know it was unbelievably hard for you to leave him because he was all you had known for quite some time.
You doubted yourself because you thought you wouldn't it make a day without him. But you were wrong. You found that strength and you left. That was the best thing you could have ever done.
Don't ruin it by going back. There will always be hard days when you don't want to get out of bed.
There will be days when you won't be able to look yourself in the mirror.
There will be days when you will want to get back to him. Don't, just don't. You're better off alone.
Just think of the pain and misery he caused you and remember that nothing can be worse than that.
Don't go back to him because you deserve so much more than him. You're so much stronger and more beautiful when he isn't around.
You shine bright when you are away from him, so please don't go back to him.
You know that this has to end sometime. Let it be this time. Don't go back to him. | eng | ebaf3455-a78c-4120-8e1e-9503e77c1c0e | https://herway.net/about-going-back-to-him/ |

The Carbuncle Ditch (aka Garbell Ditch)
Runs from the junction with the River Moselle at Scotland Green, (just south of the Tottenham High Road) in a straight line through Tottenham Marshes into Pymmes Brook.
Created in the early 15th century to alleviate flooding upstream by the River Moselle and the Ditch is basically a continuation of the Moselle. Originally known as The Garbell and then the Carbuncle by the 19th century though I am unable to find any explanation for the origins of these names. One can only assume that as a carbuncle is caused by bacterial infection, this ditch was associated with disease especially as around this period the population of the area increased and the once pure Moselle became heavily polluted. Carbuncle is now also used as a modern day term for something considered unsympathetic to its surroundings after the Prince of Wales in the 1980s described a planning proposal for an extension to the National Gallery as a "monstrous carbuncle". Locally to Tottenham this could perhaps apply to the fly-tipping that this vicinity now attracts.
The Carbuncle was partly culverted in 1906, but some parts remained open until after the Second World War. Much of the route now forms the Carbuncle Passage, a wide walkway providing rear access to rows of houses on either side. The gushing outfall at Pymmes Brook can be heard (and smelt) on the far edge of Tottenham Marshes though fencing and dense undergrowth hinder a decent view.
Carbuncle Passage runs directly above the course of the Ditch

Digestive Enzymes After Eating
The human body can go for weeks without eating and still be healthy, food is vital to our existence. Food that you like eating, comfort food, snacks or even eating in an expensive restaurant or food that you need to eat in order to sustain yourself. It's food.
Food is food insofar as our tastes are concerned. But, if the stomachs, and in turn our entire body is concerned, food is more than just food. It's the battery that keeps our body functioning optimally.
I mentioned earlier that the body could go months without eating, and it is indeed true. The body can survive with only water, however, that isn't a good idea. There is not only an absence of taste the body would also have nothing to digest. Digestive Enzymes After Eating After Eating
When we eat food it is processed in a way that the nutrients can be beneficial to our body. This process is what we are all familiar with as digestion. This digestion happens in the digestive system that starts from the mouth and ends with waste being deposited in the anus.
Of course, we all know this. This has been taught in schools since 5th grade. But, do we actually understand what goes on inside the stomach? Do we really know how and why food is digested?
When we talk about digestion, there is one other thing that should really not be overlooked in the subject. Enzymes. These chemicals are the major players in turning food from food into nutrients. The enzymes are also responsible for the majority of biological reactions within and outside of our bodies.
It is certain that life wouldn't be like it is without enzymes. That is, if life can even exist in the first place in the first.
There are three organs that are mostly responsible for supplying our body with enzymes. They are the stomach, the small intestine, and the pancreas.
In this regard, the pancreas is known as to be the "powerhouse" of the body since it supplies the enzymes required to break down carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
You may already have an idea however, there are many types of digestive enzymes and they all break down different types of food items. The pancreas is the only powerhouse that we talked about, produces three types of digestive enzymes that are the main ones. They are:
Amylase, which breaks down complex carbohydrates. Also produced in the mouth
Lipase, which breaks down fats.
Protease is a protein-breaking enzyme that breaks down proteins.
The small intestine is also the source of several major enzymes, which include:
If your body is lacking certain enzymes, or if the body does not have the ability to release the needed enzymes, they are being affected by a disease called digestive enzyme insufficiency.
When someone suffers from digestive enzyme insufficiency is unable to break down certain foods and absorb certain nutrients. In this case wherein the body cannot produce enough lactase to digest sugars found in dairy and milk products.
Digestive enzyme insufficiency isn't an illness to be taken lightly. It could cause digestive irritation and malnutrition doctor. For milder symptoms, it is possible to boost your digestive enzymes with supplements. Digestive Enzymes After Eating
Vitapost Digestive Enzymes
Vitapost Digestive Enzymes is a nutritional supplement that can aid those who have difficulty digesting your food or you are deficient in certain enzymes within your body. It is carefully selected combinations of enzymes that can help improve digestion and nutrient absorption.
Vitapost DIgestive Enzymes aid in digestion of food by combining a blend of specially selected enzymes that help to correct the deficiencies or improve what is already inside the stomach. As an "everyday digestive support" It is designed to be utilized often
But, it does not mean that the product can be used to treat or prevent illnesses or allergies. VitaPost Digestive Enzymes are just a supplement. It is not a medicine that should never be used as such.
While digestive enzyme supplements are helpful to you, but the best ingredients for digestion are those naturally produced by your body. As such, supplements should only be utilized when absolutely necessary. Always consult your physician before taking any kind of supplement. Digestive Enzymes After Eating
Digestive Enzymes in Action: How VitaPost Digestive Enzymes Perform
Let's face it, the internet and its online stores all over is brimming with digestive enzyme supplements. Some of these supplements contain specific enzymes that digest certain kinds of food items. If you are having difficulty digesting starch or sugar the supplements will provide you with the specific enzymes that digest starch or sugar.
However, Vitapost Digestive Supplements is quite different. Its formula is made of numerous enzymes. This lets the supplement process various kinds of food. All in all made up of digestive enzymes that breakdown the body into nutrients and chemicals which your body needs.
By looking at the ingredients lists, you cannot help but assume that this digestive supplements have all their bases provided. From the common gluten, protein, starches and dairy, to oils, fats grains, and table sugar, it appears that it's the ViaPost Digestive Enzyme supplement is here to help you digest.
VitaPost Digestive Enzymes Ingredients
When looking to buy supplements, it should be the norm to verify on the ingredients that the product is made up of. Be it probiotic, dietary or even digestive enzyme supplements, any kind of supplement that doesn't clearly show their ingredients should not be trusted.
VitaPost Digestive Enzymes is not the same. In their case, Vitapost Digestive Enzymes clearly have its list of ingredient in the forefront. This can be found at the bottle's packaging.
But, you may find that there's a noticeable difference between the usual label of ingredients and the one that is listed on this products list. For instance, you may see that one of the ingredients has the unit of DU or HUT instead of the usual grams or kg.
The reason for this has a lot to do with what the ingredients that make up the product contain. As its name suggests, Vitapost Digestive Enzymes are primarily made up of enzymes.
For the sake of transparency, VItapost label these enzymes according to the type of food that they break down. For example, when the product talks about the enzymes responsible for breaking up carbohydrates, like Amylase the name will appear in the form of DU.
In addition, because the supplement is composed of enzymes, the components are classified into the types of food they eat. They are divided into three categories that include protein enzymes carbohydrate enzymes, and various other beneficial enzymes.
Protein Enzymes
Protein enzymes are among the most hardworking enzymes in the human body because they perform multiple functions in the body. One of these is breaking down proteins that the body consumes and converting them to amino acids.
Protease 1 and 2. These two enzymes are among the most important in proteolysis, which is the process of breaking down proteins into amino acids. In addition, these two enzymes can be utilized to develop new protein products.
Bromelain – This is a type of enzyme that is commonly be found in the juice of a pineapple, and specifically at the root of the pineapple. Since the beginning, it has been used in Asia as a treatment for burning, pain and soreness of the muscles as well as numerous other ailments.
Papain is another enzyme that aids in the breaking down of proteins into amino acids and peptides. Papain is specifically found and extracted from raw papatay fruit. In addition to breaking down proteins, papain may aid in neutralizing harmful chemicals in cheeses, meats, and nuts.
Aspergillopepsin is another enzyme which breaks down gluten. In contrast to mammalian pepsin can protein peptides. Not only do they break proteins, but they can also be used to modify more proteins.
Carbohydrate Enzymes
As the name suggests, Carbohydrate enzymes are enzymes which are primarily focused on the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. After consumption of carbohydrates and absorbed, they are combined with saliva in the mouth. This is the first step towards the digestive process. Following that, it travels into the stomach, and later goes to the small intestine
Amylase – If you consume starchy foods like rice and potatoes, it is amylase, the main enzyme responsible for digestion. Amylase is produced naturally by the pancreas before entering the small intestine. It assists in transformation of starch into glucose syrups
The Glucoamylase is an enzyme that performs the same function with amylase, in that it is able to break can also aid in digestion and smoothness, while helping deter many digestive issues, including heaviness and bloating, as well as lethargy, gas, and loose stools.
Lactase is an enzyme that mostly process lactose, a chemical found in milk. Inadequate lactase levels could cause someone to become lactose-intolerant. Lactase breaks down the sugar that is present in milk into two basic sugars: galactose and glucose
Beta-glucanase is an enzyme that results in the hydrolysis of beta-glucans. In simple terms it breaks down the sugars found in oats and barley, in which beta-glucans exist within the cell walls of microorganisms.
Invertase Invertase Invertase is named after inverted sugar syrup. The process for creating this substance comes from invertase breaking sucrose down into fructose and glucose that are the sugar syrup that was previously referred to as an inverted syrup.
Other Enzymes
In order to aid the protein and carbohydrate enzymes in their work additional enzymes are added to the formulation of Vitapost Digestive Enzymes. These enzymes are specifically designed to help digest and break down a greater variety of food types. From plant-based diets to fatty and oily food items these other enzymes are sure to aid in breaking them down easily. Digestive Enzymes After Eating
Lipase A lipase enzyme is a vital enzyme that is especially beneficial to people who like oily and fat-rich food items. Afterall, it is common to know that foods rich with oils and fats, although delicious, can be very difficult to digest for your stomach. This can make the delicious food less enjoyable. With lipase, the body should have no trouble digesting them all. It is also proven to decrease the sensation of being fuller when this enzyme is taken alongside meals.
Cellulase Hemicellulase, xylanase and pectinase – This group of enzymes are what breaks down plant matter that you consume in your daily diet. Particularly, they work on breaking down the difficult cell walls of plants and plant fibers present in these kinds of diets.
The Phytase enzyme is one of the vital enzymes required to digest food. The phytase enzyme is an essential enzyme in the context of bone health. When phytase is activated, it breaks down a chemical called phytic acid. The acid can bind important minerals needed by the body such as zinc and iron. When you use Phytase, these iron and zinc are released, and are easily taken in into the body. In addition, Phytase is also used to increase the absorption of minerals, such as calcium, and also the iron and zinc.
VitaPost Digestion Enzymes Dosage and Utilization
Like most supplements in the market, it requires a consistent dosage to get the most benefit out of VitaPost Digestive Enzymes. In this instance, it is recommended to take 1 or 2 capsules at the beginning of each meal.
However, this might not be feasible given that a bottle of VitaPost Digestive Enzyme has 60 capsules. If you follow the recommended dosage, it could just last for only 10 days.
A good place to start is to take two tablets daily, making sure to take it during the heaviest meals. This will maximize the use of the capsule while still allowing your body to work without any supplements. That said, the amount of times you take the capsule is entirely your choice.
But, six capsules should be your limit. More than that may cause adverse effects.
VitaPost Digestive Enzymes Effects
As a digestive aid, VitaPost Digestive Enzymes main benefits are to aid in good digestion. If properly taken the supplements will allow the body to have a more easy and faster process of absorbing nutrients from the food you've eaten.
If you have a healthy and balanced digestion Other positive effects will be evident. These include clear skin, less migraines, body pains, and headaches.
The way your skin looks is a tell of the overall health of your body. The appearance of acne can be an indication of something wrong inside your body. In contrast the clear complexion indicates a healthy body. This includes having a well operating digestive system.
As a result having a healthy skin and healthy digestive system also means lesser suffering and fatigue. This is because migraines, body pains, and headaches, are results of underlying issues from an inflammation of the gutFor VitaPost Digestive Enzymes Supplements there is no evidence of a negative side effects. As such, it is safe to consume so long as you adhere to the dosage guidelines.
However, like any other food supplement, if you are nursing a baby or are pregnant it is recommended to visit and check with your physician. Digestive Enzymes After Eating
Another thing to note it is that the product contains dairy, soy, as well as wheat, which can cause some people to develop allergies. Therefore, if you are someone who have allergies to these ingredients, it might be better to find another alternative product.
VitaPost Digestive Enzymes Price
VitaPost Digestive Enzyme comes in bottles with 60 capsules in each bottle. VitaPost also sells this product as bundles. Also, it is important to note that shipping is not free. The cost for shipping is added onto the cost list.
1 bottle: $24.80 Plus $4.95 Shipping
2 bottles: $44.80 Plus $4.95 Shipping
3 bottles: $67.20 plus $4.95 Shipping
4 bottles: $74.80 + $4.95 Shipping
Buying multiple bottles rather than only one bottle can save you many dollars and it even saves a lot of shipping. Simply by looking at and comparing the price, buying the 4 bottle bundle for $74 would be as buying three bottles and receiving one free.
If you think that you will use the VitaPost Digestive Enzyme for an extended period of time I suggest going all in on the 4-bottle bundle.
VitaPost Digestive Enzymes is only available online at their official website. It is therefore essential to access them only there. If you purchase the supplements from other places on the internet could be a scam.

Upon getting my supplements, which, mind you, only took 3 days to arrive I was excited about starting my digestive supplement regimen.
A good arome welcomed me when I opened the bottle. That was something I did not anticipate as I was used to supplements that smelled too "medicinal". The pills also are ideal in terms of size. They're not big enough for people to struggle and not too small to make one wonders if they are getting enough of it. Digestive Enzymes After Eating
I'm on my 3rd bottle at the moment and have been taking the supplement for three months to date (I choose taking two pills per day, which was the perfect amount for me.) and I have experienced a more regular bowel movement and less digestive issues.
However, the results were not overnight. It was around the third week when I realized that my stomach was feeling better , and my frequent trips to the toilet become more regular than irregular.
You can rest assured. I will continue taking these supplements into the future. Of course, that's unless I find something better, but for now I doubt it.

During this year's HLPF,
The need for a more systemic and people-centered approach extends beyond individual issues, to all 17 of the SDGs
By The Women's Major Group Organizing Partners and Secretariat
While the SDGs were created in 2015 to address inequalities, the world today is – in many ways – worse off than it was then. Over the past several years we have witnessed rising inequality, the COVID-19 pandemic, increasing wars and militarism, and a worsening climate crisis, among other systemic setbacks to the sustainable development agenda.
In such states of "crisis," the demands of the feminist movement are often deprioritized by decision makers behind more so-called "urgent needs." In doing so, states fail to recognize that the human rights of women, girls, and gender-diverse people cut across all of the development goals, and that bringing attention back to gender inequality can actually tell us a lot about the systems we operate in.
"Women's rights are not given naturally; these are the result of strong fights of our predecessors," says Pille Tsopp-Pagan of the Women's Support and Information Centre NPO in Estonia. "These can be removed with a split second as we have seen in Afghanistan – or most recently – in the United States. A balanced society is healthy and prosperous, and that can only be achieved by fulfilling the human rights of women, girls, and gender-diverse people around the world."
During this year's High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development (HLPF), These policies should be one and the same: COVID-19 recovery policies that push forward the 2030 Agenda, rather than undermine it. The pandemic must be seen as an opportunity for systems change, rather than an excuse to further derail progress on the SDGs.
Why is a human rights approach so critical, and what are the consequences of separating human rights and sustainable development? One illustration of this problematic phenomenon can be found in the issue of safe abortion. Denying people access to safe abortion denies them rights that are already enshrined in human rights frameworks (such as CEDAW) – such as the right to healthcare, to privacy, and to remain free from cruel or inhumane treatment.
We know that reducing maternal mortality will not be possible without safe and accessible abortion services. Yet, abortion access is not included in the sexual and reproductive rights (SRHR) indicators within SDG 5, and remains highly contested by many states. Thus, we see abortion being used as a lever issue to shape public opinion on reproductive rights, to maintain the status quo of patriarchy, and to place control in the hands of the state rather than to drive a rights-based development, which centers bodily autonomy.
"When looking at reproductive needs and justice around the world, there are so many other things we must also consider – aspects such as maternity leave and childcare access," said ARROW Executive Director Siva Thanenthiran during an official Women's Major Group side event. "We see that the reproductive rights indicators are not adequate, and that we need a more holistic understanding of how a person's reproductive rights are realized."
Similarly, recognition of the rights to land and resources – rights that are less clearly protected in core human rights treaties – are fundamental to a host of established human rights, such as the right to food, water, housing, and culture, as well as the ongoing fight to curb climate change. Thus, we see that the need for a more systemic and people-centered approach extends beyond individual issues, to all 17 of the SDGs. Though it may seem a daunting task, the interlinked nature of the goals means that our action in one can catalyze action in others, if they originate from an intersectional perspective. Just as a crisis in one area affects so many different aspects of our lives, holistic solutions can serve to heal interrelated problems as well. For this to happen, solutions must be rights-based, gender-transformative, and locally driven – including communities affected by decision making.
Ultimately, governments and the international development community must recognize that human rights must be at the center of any development agenda, that these are not in opposition to one another, but are necessary for the transformative change the world needs | eng | 7b75c9dd-45ca-4ad7-9b7f-b3aaa7b9a763 | http://sdg.iisd.org/commentary/guest-articles/want-to-achieve-the-sdgs-by-2030-center-human-rights/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=SDG%20Update%20-%2014%20July%202022&utm_content=SDG%20Update%20-%2014%20July%202022+CID_750d73c4dcaefce3ddeb584236de8ea9&utm_source=cm |

6 Reasons Why Are Kratom Capsules Popular Among Teenagers
Recently, enthusiasts have asked, "why are kratom capsules popular?" Mitragyna Speciosa capsules have recently become increasingly popular among teenagers, sparking curiosity about why they have gained such traction. It is believed that the portability and convenience of these capsules make them so attractive – they are simple to consume and require no preparation.
Furthermore, their small size makes them easy to store, allowing teens to keep them on hand if needed discreetly. Interestingly, these capsules come in various flavors, which may be why some teens prefer them over other consumption methods. With all its advantages, it's no wonder why kratom capsules are famous among teenagers – easy to take any time and anywhere without causing a commotion or giving away their identity.
6 Reasons Kratom Capsules Are Popular Among Teenagers
Kratom capsules are an increasingly popular choice among teenagers looking for an herbal supplement for energy and focus. A product made from the Mitragyna Speciosa tree, widely grown in Southeast Asia, is said to contain compounds similar to caffeine. Users can experience heightened awareness, improved concentration, and a natural energy boost as a dietary supplement. These capsules are easy to find online and at local health stores. For those curious about potentially trying this all-natural supplement, it's best to consult your doctor before consumption, as research is ongoing on these capsules.
1. Easier to measure dosage
Kratom capsules are popular among teenagers as they make it easy to measure desired dosages precisely. Additionally, taking a capsule is more convenient than other methods of ingesting Mitragyna Speciosa, such as brewing tea or mixing it into a drink. These capsules are also lightweight and portable, making them easy to keep on hand at all times. Capsules also provide an efficient way to package and store the Mitragyna Speciosa powder, making it easier to transport and handle. Not only that but they can be made into different sizes or even flavored with natural extracts to improve the taste. These factors make Kratom capsules an attractive option for teens who want an easy and accurate way to take their dose while on the go.
2. Available in a variety of flavors
Kratom capsules come in various delicious flavors, making them popular among teenagers. From classic sweet and spicy to exotic tropical fruits, there's something for everyone. Some of the most popular flavors of Mitragyna Speciosa include citrusy lemon and lime, rich chocolate and malt, earthy coffee, cocoa, and fruity strawberry and apple. They offer a unique taste experience and can also be used to create exciting recipes like smoothies and mocktails. The range of flavor options available in Kratom capsules makes it easy to customize your daily dose with whatever flavor suits you best.
3. Discreet to consume
Kratom capsules have become increasingly popular among teenagers due to their discretion in consumption. These capsules are small, discreet capsules that contain powdered Mitragyna Speciosa leaves and can be easily stored and consumed without drawing unwanted attention. Furthermore, the taste of Mitragyna Speciosa leaves is considered to be quite unpleasant when used as a tea or powder, making capsules more attractive since they are tasteless and easy to ingest with water. This convenient form of discreet consumption has made these capsules attractive among teenagers who appreciate using Kratom without being caught.
4. Convenient for on-the-go use
Kratom capsules are popular among teenagers due to their convenience and easy portability. Not only can they be kept in a pocket or purse for on-the-go use, but they also contain pre-measured doses of Mitragyna Speciosa, eliminating the effort of measuring and preparing the powder for each dose. The capsules also bypass the bitterness associated with its powder and make it easier for those who don't like taking bitter substances. Moreover, since many teenagers lead hectic lifestyles, having an easily accessible product that is convenient makes kratom capsules appealing.
5. Reduced mess compared to powder form
Kratom capsules have quickly become popular among teenagers due to the reduced mess that comes with the powder form. Unlike other alternatives, these capsules can be quickly taken, and no mess must be cleaned afterward. Taking a capsule each day is a more presentable and cleaner way to take the supplement than having it in its form as powder, making for an easier transition for teens wishing to try out this product. This convenient factor also makes maintenance easy and hassle-free, appealing to many young adults.
6. Sealed capsules prevent exposure to external elements
Teenagers turn to Kratom capsules as a natural alternative to traditional medicines due to their effective sealing technology. Sealed capsules prevent the active compounds of Mitragyna Speciosa from coming into contact with external elements and can retain their freshness and potency. This technology ensures that the substance remains pure and gives users more control over their dosage, meaning teenagers can better track how much of the substance they consume. Additionally, the sealed capsules mean no bitter taste or pungent aroma associated with taking Kratom, which can be significant drawbacks for many users. All in all, sealed capsules are one of the key reasons why Mitragyna Speciosa is becoming so popular among teens.
Things A Teenager To Keep In Mind While Consuming Kratom Capsules
As a teenager, there are a few things to keep in mind when considering taking kratom capsules:
It's essential to understand the strength you are consuming, such as starting with a low dosage and gradually increasing over time until feeling the desired effects.
Additionally, taking breaks from using these capsules is wise to allow your body adequate time to reinvigorate and restore natural balance. Choose a trustworthy Mitragyna Speciosa supplier who can guarantee good quality and accurate product labeling whenever possible.
Finally, monitoring any potential side effects associated with consuming these capsules and ceasing use if necessary is vital to avoiding unwanted issues or risks.
Conclusion
Kratom capsules are increasingly popular among teenagers due to their convenience and accessibility. Mitragyna Speciosa has been used for centuries for its benefits but has only become mainstream recently. While more research is needed to explore the potential benefits of these capsules, they may provide a safe and effective way to experience kratom's effects. The premium kratom capsules for pain come in various forms and are often tested for quality and potency to ensure users have the best possible experience. With the growing popularity among teens, capsules are an attractive option for those looking to reap its potential benefits. | eng | 66e1ef33-b460-4732-b467-c43c20071fa1 | https://cbdgummies.me/6-reasons-why-are-kratom-capsules-popular-among-teenagers/ |
What You Should Do When You Feel Constant Chest Pain

You want to be sure that the cause of your chest pain is appropriately diagnosed and treated.
When Should You See a Doctor?
If your chest pain is mild but consistent—or even more severe but comes and goes—it's always best to see your doctor immediately. Your doctor can determine the cause of your chest pain and provide treatment recommendations accordingly. They may also recommend various tests that can help diagnose the source of your discomfort. Some tests that you may take are as follows:
a. Echocardiogram
An echocardiogram scan will give the doctor images of your heart from different angles. This will help them better understand the structure and functioning of your heart if it's related to your chest pain.
b. Coronary angiogram
This test is used to determine if there are any blockages or any other abnormalities in the coronary arteries. It can also help your doctor assess your heart's overall health.
c. Stress test
A stress test is used to evaluate how well your heart is functioning while under stress. It involves your doctor assess your heart rate, blood pressure, and other parameters while you're exercising.
d. Blood tests
Blood tests can help rule out other potential causes of chest pain, such as an infection or inflammation. If your doctor suspects that the cause of your chest pain is related to a heart condition, they may use specialized blood tests to diagnose it.
Even if they don't find anything out of the ordinary during an examination or tests, they may still recommend lifestyle changes that could help lessen any discomfort you may be feeling in your chest area going forward. This could include quitting smoking, reducing stress, exercising regularly, and eating healthier.
How Can You Manage Chest Pain In The Moment?
In some cases—especially when you're unsure whether or not medical attention is necessary—you may want to try some home remedies for managing acute chest pain at the moment. Here are some tips to help you ease the discomfort:
a. Take a deep breath and relax.
The American Heart Association suggests taking several slow, deep breaths. This can help slow your heart rate, which in turn will help lessen the intensity of your discomfort. You can also try relaxation techniques such as guided imagery or progressive muscle relaxation.
b. Adjust your posture.
If you've been sitting in one position for a long time, try taking a few moments to change your posture. Sitting up straight or standing can help reduce chest pain.
c. Take an over-the-counter pain reliever.
If you're feeling chest pain and it's not going away, taking an over-the-counter pain reliever such as ibuprofen can help temporarily reduce the sensation. But it's important to note that this won't resolve the underlying cause of your chest pain.
d. Apply heat or cold.
Applying heat or cold to the area of your chest where you feel pain can help ease the discomfort. Heat therapy can be especially helpful if your chest pain is caused by muscle tension or inflammation. Cold therapy can be beneficial if you're experiencing chest pain due to an injury or trauma.
Chest pains can come in varying intensity; however, all should be taken seriously since they could indicate something more severe than mild discomfort. If you experience constant chest pains (or any other worrisome symptoms), it's essential to seek medical attention immediately so that proper diagnosis and treatment can be administered quickly and effectively. In the meantime, some home remedies and lifestyle changes can help manage chest pain at the moment. Remember to listen to your body to stay healthy and safe. | eng | de0044bd-42eb-4bed-8740-6ec1bd2495bd | https://www.catsupandmustard.com/constant-chest-pain/ |
Fuel System Problems: Causes and Signs
Vehicle function relies on a fuel system to effectively pump fuel from the gas tank into the engine. However, this system can develop a fault resulting in dampened fuel efficiency. In dire instances, your car may not start at all.
More often than not, fuel system problems stem from a faulty fuel pump responsible for maintaining gas flow through the lines. In other cases, blocked fuel filters or fuel lines are the culprits. Still, fuel system problems can also occur due to a leak. When this happens, the consequences can be dangerous to you and your car.
Signs of Fuel System Problems
Faulty fuel systems usually present different signs that hint at the problem. Most times, these signs are easy to notice. If you act fast, you might be able to avoid further damage.
As a car owner or driver, it'd be best you pay close attention to the following signs:
Sputtering Engine
Engine sputtering can indicate different fuel system problems, like a low gas level.
However, it denotes a flawed fuel system, especially when your gas tank is full. As you drive, you'll hear or feel your engine sputter as it tries to smoothly generate power.
This effect is more pronounced when you're driving at high speeds.
Engine sputtering shows an interruption in the steady flow of fuel to the engine. It'd be best to take your vehicle for a fuel system car maintenance and have your fuel pump looked at by an expert.
Trouble Starting Your Car
A car you drove around some hours or days ago may suddenly prove challenging to start. When this incident occurs, it might point to mechanical issues such as a failing ignition system, dead battery, alternator, or spark plug.
Also, starting your vehicle can be difficult due to a fault in your car's fuel system. If you find yourself in this situation, it'll be best to contact an expert engineer to thoroughly assess the car and find out the exact cause of the problem. With proper diagnosis, they can come up with the right solution to the problem.
Noise From the Fuel Tank
Vehicles showcase specific signs drivers should pay close attention to. A notable mention is noise coming out from any part of the vehicle. If a car's fuel system starts to fail, it often produces a whining noise from the fuel tank.
Weird sounds from the fuel tank can stem from:
Low fuel level
Contaminated fuel in the tank
Malfunctioning fuel pump
Identifying this noise on time is crucial to seeking necessary assistance for a fuel system car repair and avoiding further damage to the car.
Loss of Power
Under adverse driving conditions, a car's fuel system can malfunction. Here, your vehicle can suddenly start to sputter or switch off entirely when you count on it the most. This issue often points to a fuel system problem.
Sudden power loss can leave you stranded in the worst places. Hence, it's vital to habitually take your car to a workshop for thorough fuel system car maintenance.
Fuel Leak
Another major indicator of a fuel system malfunction is spotting a gasoline or diesel leak from under your car. In this situation, it's essential you don't attempt to drive the car without fixing the problem because a fuel leak can be dangerous. Due to how flammable fuel is, it can result in a vehicle fire or explosion.
Surging as You Drive
While driving, ensure you take nothing you experience out of the ordinary for granted. Experiencing a surge while you drive often serves as an indicator of a fuel system issue.
A defective fuel system can make your car surge while you're driving. As a result of this scenario, the car won't maintain a constant speed, and you'll feel the struggle when you step on the gas pedal.
Reduction in Gas Mileage
Although we've already examined some tell-tale signs of a malfunctioning fuel system, a gas mileage is often responsible for the car's malfunctioning fuel system.
For context, your vehicle's gas mileage is the distance measured in miles it can travel for every gallon of fuel you put in it.
Identifying this fuel efficiency loss is easier for drivers that constantly keep an eye on their gas mileage.
Conversely, drivers who don't keep track of their gas mileage might continue to run their cars with the issue while the fuel system keeps deteriorating.
Common Fuel System Problems
Generally, fuel system problems reduce fuel pressure and flow, resulting in poor vehicle performance. Fixing these problems is often difficult and consumes time.
Nevertheless, thanks to the work of diverse fuel system car repair experts, you can identify significant locations where related problems usually originate.
The major sites include:
Fuel pump
Fuel injectors
Fuel filter
Fuel lines
Each of these sites can be affected independently. Still, sometimes, a fault in one part can lead to problems in another region.
Faulty Fuel Pump
As an essential component of your car, the fuel pump generates a fuel stream from the tank, takes it through the fuel lines and filters till it gets to the fuel injector, which channels fuel to the engine.
Regardless of whether your vehicle's fuel pump system is hydraulic or electric, there's a possibility it could clog and malfunction.
Vehicles with an electric fuel pump often show signs of a defect when driving at high speeds, going uphill, or carrying a load. Your driving may be going smoothly till your car abruptly loses power or jerks and accelerates without any input from you for some moments before it goes back to normalcy.
However, immediately after you step on the gas pedal, the pump restores fuel pressure, enabling the engine to function normally.
Most drivers often mistake a faulty fuel pump for other conditions due to their similar presentation.
Vehicles can sputter or jerk when the fuel is bad or contaminated. A similar response also happens on an nearly empty fuel tank. Furthermore, people blame the fuel pump for sputtering, wrongly assuming it might be clogged with dirt.
To identify the problem, fuel system car repair experts will look out for a damaged fuse or assess the pressure in the fuel lines. Additionally, set time aside to listen to your fuel pump's sound when you turn on the ignition. Assuming you don't hear the fuel running, and your car won't start, your fuel pump is probably faulty
Spoilt or Blocked Fuel Injectors
Fuel injectors spray gasoline into the intake cylinders through special nozzles. In turn, the vehicle's engine mixes the gas with air, creating the necessary condition for combustion.
The fuel combustion process creates carbon deposits that can block fuel injectors. Additionally, note that your fuel injectors may develop a fault if they fail to remain fixed in the open or closed position.
Fuel system issues originating from malfunctioning fuel injectors are easy to notice. Injectors that fail to open can cause difficulty starting the vehicles, lack of power, and disturbing running conditions.
If the fuel injectors are stuck in a partly open position, there's most likely a significant drop in fuel pressure or gas leaking into the cylinder.
Furthermore, dirty or completely failed injectors remain stuck in the open or closed position.
The effect of this condition is the accumulation of extra liquid from the fuel system In the oil sump. After some time, you'll notice an oil level rise when you pull out the dipstick. Additionally, you might perceive a strong smell of raw gas mixed with engine oil on the dipstick.
You could also uncover fuel injector leakages if you experience a run-on after turning off the key to kill the engine. Here, instead of stopping, the engine stays on or sputters for a period.
As a result, fuel drips into the combustion chamber.
When a run-on happens, the problem might be due to a dirty injector — a condition brought on by a build-up of carbon deposits hindering it from closing correctly.
Obstruction in the Fuel Filter
Fuel filter clogging is a typical fuel system problem and puts the vehicle at a higher risk of more damage.
The fuel filter acts as a barrier, removing debris from the gasoline before it's pumped into the injectors.
Without the filter, dirty particles can find their way to the injector, clogging it or moving into the engine, where it can cause sizable damage. When a filter gets clogged, it brings about an engine performance reduction.
The effects of an obstructed fuel filter are similar to the experience characterized by faulty fuel pumps.
Here, your vehicle might encounter a power loss while in motion, while the engine may run-on when idle.
A clogged fuel filter can result from a disintegrating fuel pump. As the fuel pump breaks down, it introduces tiny particles into the filter that causes an obstruction in the fuel system.
In light of a clogged fuel filter, the solution is to take the car for fuel system car repairs and replace the filter.
For this repair, don't engage the services of a roadside mechanic. Instead, ensure that you hire an adequately skilled expert for the job.
However, if your fuel filter isn't clogged, it'll be best to change it periodically. Manufacturers often recommend a due time to change your fuel filter.
Clogged or Leaking Fuel Lines
Gasoline moves through lines in the fuel system to get to the engine. However, these lines can get clogged or leak at some point. Such leaks can expose your engine to harmful driving situations.
The accumulated fuel can ignite, throw off the vehicle's exhaust or shoot flames out of the pipe.
Clogged or leaking fuel lines can crop up in your car due to aging. As a result, it's vital to indulge in the habit of periodic total fuel system car maintenance.
Filing Your Fuel Tank With the Wrong Gasoline
Car manufacturers recommend a fuel suitable for each vehicle. These fuel types are distinguishable by octane numbers. Filing your fuel tank with the wrong gasoline can have adverse consequences. For instance, fueling a truck with 87-octane fuel can damage your vehicle's engine, fuel injectors, lines and pump.
However, to avoid this problem, conduct due diligence to ensure you're using the recommended fuel type for your automobile.
These notable indicators may accompany one or more fuel system issues ranging from a faulty fuel pump to leaking fuel lines.
To avoid bad driving experiences, you may want to pay attention to your vehicle because it could give off signs of a possible defect from time to time.
Whenever you notice any of the aforementioned signs, contact an expert for proper diagnosis of the problem and timely redress. If you think you can keep managing the condition, your vehicle will deteriorate further.
Nevertheless, it'd help if you didn't wait for the first sign of trouble to take your vehicle to a revered auto shop. An intelligent approach is developing the habit of taking your vehicle for routine fuel system car maintenance.

The Three Generations Theory: How Bitcoin Reaches Mass Adoption In 60 Years
Read More In recent years, Bitcoin has become increasingly popular as more people become aware of its potential and its implications for global financial systems. One of the primary questions that come up when discussing Bitcoin is how to reach mass adoption. According to the Three-Generations Theory, proposed by the Swiss computer scientist and cryptography specialist Nick Szabo, the process of reaching mass adoption for Bitcoin may take up to sixty years.
The Three-Generations Theory suggests that three distinct generations of people are needed for a new technology to reach broad acceptance. The first generation is a group of early adopters and innovators who have the technical knowledge to understand the technology and a strong commitment to its success. The second generation provides a bridge to the mainstream, consisting mostly of early adopters who can explain the technology to a wider audience. Finally, the third generation consists of the mass market, who use the technology without a deep understanding of it.
According to the Three-Generations Theory, it takes a least sixty years for any technology to pass through the three generations in order to reach broad acceptance. Szabo believes that significant amounts of education and outreach will be needed to reach the mass market. He believes that Bitcoin could eventually become a widely accepted payment system, but that this process will be gradual and unfold over time.
The Three-Generations Theory provides an important perspective on how Bitcoin may eventually reach mass adoption. It suggests that it is not a quick process and will take a significant amount of time and effort. Although there have already been significant advances, it will take a number of generations of people to fully understand, appreciate and incorporate Bitcoin into our financial systems and everyday lives. | eng | 9d5b8f1a-cee3-4516-8992-25ea6e5de019 | https://wallstreetreview.com/the-three-generations-theory-how-bitcoin-reaches-mass-adoption-in-60-years/ |

The Vermillion River at Lafayette, Louisiana, crested at its highest level since an August 1940 hurricane, about 7.5 feet above flood stage and about 6 feet above the March 2016 flood.

How the Flood Happened: Described as "Like an Inland Tropical Depression"
Deep, tropical moisture in combination with low pressure near the earth's surface and aloft were the main ingredients that fueled the serious flooding in Louisiana and adjacent parts of southwest Mississippi.
On the morning of Aug. 12, NOAA's Weather Prediction Center said this when talking about the heavy rain event: "The best description of this system is that of an inland sheared tropical depression."
The rainfall it produced was indeed very similar to what one would expect from a slow-moving tropical depression or storm since rainfall potential is related to the forward speed of those types of systems.
This graph shows that the slower the forward speed of a tropical cyclone, the higher the potential for extreme rainfall amounts.
Rainfall totals in the double digits from slow-moving tropical depressions or storms can wreak extreme havoc on a region. Rivers can rise rapidly and easily exceed flood levels by a wide margin, inundating homes and businesses and in some cases making travel impossible. We saw all of that happen in Louisiana and southwest Mississippi.
More evidence for how this situation was similar to an inland tropical depression is the amount of moisture that was in the atmosphere.
A weather forecast discussion from the National Weather Service in New Orleans on Aug. 12 said that the moisture content in the atmosphere was higher than what has been observed there during some tropical cyclones. It was even close to an all-time record for the area, they added.
When that much moisture is available in the atmosphere, thunderstorms can produce excessive rainfall of several inches in a single hour, leading to astronomical totals over time.
While no one likely forecasted 24+ inches of rain ahead of this event like we saw in southeast Louisiana, this is the type of thing that can happen on a very localized scale in situations like this one | eng | 7252d1bd-11aa-46e0-88c5-a49dfcab2d40 | https://weather.com/forecast/regional/news/rain-flood-threat-south-mississippi-ohio-valley |

Returns
In my previous Goodnight Tango post, I have written about the verse-chorus pattern of songs and the similarities they bear with the typical story of a hero going on an adventure and getting back home changed.
A very interesting and enjoyable discussion evolved between me, Nadine, Ramiro, and Kostas who at a point wrote that in Tango the learning process is the adventure and the dancing itself is the home… our destination.
I liked a lot this idea… and I'd like to expand on it. So if dancing is the home… and every dance is different from any other previous (as Ramiro very well said) that means that almost every tanda is like home… a destination we reach. Sometimes we like it a lot… sometimes we are not sure and we want to pay another visit… and sometimes it's so horrible you don't want to see it again.
My question then is… if we constantly learn and change… and then want to visit a "home" we liked (dance the same kind of tanda with the same person). What makes us believe it will still be there?… and what guarantee do we have that we will still like it? Can we really return to that same home? Or do we just get back to it hoping it will still be nice?
To me… it seems like the homes… the dances… the tandas we built… are destined to live only in our memory and get demolished right after we built them! How ironically beautiful is this?… we are all building something that is destroyed the next moment… and although we know that… we still seek and long to return to it.
But what do we find there?
PS. Tonight's Goodnight Tango is the story of a man who returns to the home where his love once lived only to find… nada | eng | fb3c0571-b51b-46c8-9f1b-99a4c245bf24 | https://goodnighttango.com/2021/10/08/returns/ |
The Adventures of the Galactic Gopher Video Slot Game
online casinos are hoping that you would consider their HabaneroNext But the best for many casino players is to play free and have a lot of fun.
Even if some countries have different types of slot machines, the general idea is still the same. Coin operated machines are the traditional type of slots, which have different reels that turn when a lever is pulled. There are many myths associated with playing slots, some more believable than others.
Some believe that such a machine gets "warm" or "cold," yet the odds for hitting a jackpot can't change because the casino slot machines software uses a random number generator. Some of the AWP machines (Amusement with Prize) used by the British are the only deviation from that rule and most often they are progressive, which allows the jackpot to steadily increase until someone wins and the machine pays out. If it will help to meet their percentage of payouts, then the casino software has the option of allowing more paying combinations.
There is no real logic behind where they are placed on the gambling floor, with the exception that higher paying machines are not placed in areas with more traffic. However, many times a casino one will be put with other slots that have similar payout percentages.
Some people believe that you will have more luck with slot games by the temperature of the coins inserted, but of course, the machines do not sense temperature. And again, contrary to popular belief, a slot machine game that has not paid out in a long time is not "due to hit" a jackpot. It is impossible to predict when a machine will hit, since each spin is a random event and is not dependent on the previous spin.
If someone tries to tell you that a particular slot machine game is due to win, then don't believe it. Due to the random number generator, your outcome is only decided at the precise moment when you pull the lever and it randomly generates the numbers. | eng | 6b900b14-d47d-4fb7-ab18-e681d928ba0f | https://damoclestrio.com/the-adventures-of-the-galactic-gopher-video-slot-game/ |
I've been searching for the right words to describe the differences between McCain's response to the war Russia has waged on Georgia, and Obama's initial response (which was later revised to sound more like McCain's), but Investor's Business Daily pretty much sums up my feelings on the matter. The differences, as they note, are indeed stark.Â
Russian armored vehicles are moving deeper into Georgian territory, shattering a truce to end six days of fighting in the country that has displaced 100,000 people and battered the Georgian landscape.
Ah yes, we see the Russians act with impunity since the world is rendered impotent by the new "isolationist" attitudes sweeping the globe. Obama's Chamberlain like statements are a perfect example. Five or six years ago the Russians would have never tried this.
Europe sure isn't going to do anything, not while relying on Russia so heavily for natural gas and oil.

Oracle has always been the foundation of DCUO (for Super Heroes, at least), and her Birds of Prey will soon be swooping into our world in full force. Get ready with Oracle's Time Capsule so that when the time comes, you can look the part. Join us Wednesday, February 19, 2020, for a livestream preview of this next Time Capsule.
The livestream will begin at 9AM PT on February 19, 2020, over on Twitch.
Let's not and just say I did, I'm tired of getting banned for the DCUO twitch chat, I'm sorry but I can't help railing against all this RNG lootbox nonsense .. just put it in the marketplace under a short term store feature so it's direct purchase Per-Item not per RNG box, can ya tell I'm sick of the RNG mechanic yet?
.
Time Capsules let people get feats without working their socks off in annoying, boring and sometimes tough quests like farming, "Activate 631436413641 consoles before knocking out the boss". Why should they remove them?
"Time Capsules let people get feats without working their socks off in annoying, boring and sometimes tough quests like farming, "Activate 631436413641 consoles before knocking out the boss". Why should they remove them?"
Oh god, really? Well done, big round of applause for standing at the broker, have 5 skill points.
Way back, before New52 When Oracle was in the JLA, they had an Angelic member named Zauriel.
Now religious implications aside, I thought this was a chance for Barbara Gordon to get back on her feet.
Zauriel as an angel could (theoretically) heal her injuries in a way medical science couldn't.
My idea following that line of thinking was that Barbara would continue on as Oracle. but instead of being just a voice on the comm-links, she would actually have a costume with her mask icon actually being the face of a full-head mask. (we already had a new Batgirl running around by that point and Babs wasn't (at that time) the kind of person who would just take back the name and kick Cassandra to the curb.

Working their socks off? Sitting somewhere pushing buttons. You guys are like the middle child. Nothing's fair.

I got 2 of those backpacks. One was after about 9 capsules. The other was after about 30.

#savebharatvan : Moving towards a Policy change in the development of Urban Jungles
Bharat Van, an urban forest which has been a part of Nagpur city much before humans started settling here. A forest that slowly started shrinking due to urban developments, but still kept performing its most vital duty of giving us O2 to breath, protecting wildlife's and a shelter to them. Many activities like illegal cutting of trees kept happening but the forest never complained. Now, did humans listen to its silent cries yet? The things that are available to us without a fight, we take them for granted, and sadly the same is happening with Bharatvan today!
This Forest despite giving much more then it is supposed to give, is again facing an event of extinction level. All aware people have already stood ground to fight against its extinction, but more soldiers are required, for this battle isn't easy. For we are fighting against our own chosen one's. Urbanisation and modernisation has become so important for them that they are forgetting the reason for the fresh air they breathe every morning.
Fake promises made to plant more trees and sapling, has there been any data published for how much was done? A 70-80 year old tree will give 400-500 times more oxygen than a sapling, ever considered that before killing that tree? There are 500 such huge trees in Bharatvan which give this amount of oxygen.
Now opposing development is synonymous with siding with terrorism or having a soft corner for the dreaded naxals. Development is one of the most used political planks for elections and hence the one standing for development positions oneself as being a visionary. Roads have become the flag bearers of development because roads quite literally are visible in black and white. So anyone who opposes a road risks being seen as anti development social element. So invisible powers can envision a road and lay it over almost anything under the definition of development. So one must pause and think what development really means.
Is development a visible process? most people would intuitively feel that yes development is a very visible process. It is associated with structures built out of concrete, tar and steel. So 10 years later if a space is filled with the concrete stuff, we would have definitely developed, isn't it?
Dr. Abheek Ghosh
Cutting of trees for widening or laying of roads is a largely accepted sacrifice and there are laid down rules which allow cutting of trees for development if equivalent number of trees are planted elsewhere. it is another matter that what really happens to the replacement trees is hardly documented and no one is accountable if the trees don't survive. Would demolishing an old building to make way for road also amount to development? Hmm quite likely. Afterall it is said to be an old building and afterall roads never do any bad. What if the old building were to be a Taj Mahal? Then the one asking this question is crazy because the Taj is irreplaceable for many reasons which need not be devolved into here. Taj Mahal itself is an epitome of developed architecture which cannot ever be duplicated.
Then why aren't the 150 years old trees? if we were to plant trees today it is a slim chance they would survive enough to take root themselves let alone survive 150 years. 150 years ago was the year 1869. The same year our father of Nation was born. They have been witness to the changing fortunes of this country and during those 150 years i.e. every second since 1869, the great great grand dads…those trees have toiled hard to give us oxygen, ensure timely rains, shelter to hundreds of generations of the birds and may be respite from the hot sun to one of our forefathers. they are no less important than the man made Taj Mahal.
It is important to recognize that behind the garb of development comes the scheme of land grab. Road sides clear ways for grand buildings and the value of the land increases manifold. Land brings wealth, but to very few. So while you get the road, a politician or his relative gets the land. Think about it…who is driving the development and why?
Here's some food for thought for everyone –Â
Can we not look at alternative development strategies when we think of developing urban jungles like Bharat Van ?"Â
How can we develop Bharat Van without cutting the trees ?
It is a humble request to the citizens of Nagpur to sign the petition and urge the authorities from taking such grievous decision. Following is the link for the petition :

Plastic Shoebox Organization
Inside our craft closet, I have quite a few shoeboxes piled up with various craft and school items. Over the years, I've bought a few here and there. Generally, I was able to find them for right about $1, so it wasn't too pricey over time.
I love that they are clear, so I can see what is inside of them easily. If you buy the same kind, they also stack nicely | eng | 1cbf1d1e-011c-48d5-9e42-5965cc3bb0cd | https://www.motherhoodonadime.com/living/plastic-shoebox-organization/ |

How to Be a Better Teacher for Students at Risk
Teaching is a passion-driven career. Most teachers go into this profession because you want to make a difference, you want to be a positive impact on students, especially those who need it the most. Most of us can remember our favorite teacher, or the teacher who had the biggest influence on our lives. That may even be the driving inspiration behind your career choice – an endeavor to pay it forward.
For some students, a caring teacher can make all the difference in the trajectory of their lives. But the responsibilities of teaching are time-consuming and tiring, and the tutelage of students who are at risk can leave you emotionally exhausted as well.
How Can Teachers Help Students Be Successful?
An important goal of any educator is to provide the right tools to help individual students absorb the lessons they teach. This applies to the academic curriculum, of course, but K-12 students are also learning how the world works and how to behave in it. Without supportive environments and good models of proper behavior, either at home, in the school, or in the community, the challenges mount against our students who are at risk.
How can we help our students thrive when they feel the world is stacked against them? Here are some classroom techniques for providing a supportive environment for your pupils:
Utilize a democratic classroom model: Children need firm boundaries, but they also need freedom within those boundaries. When possible, give your students a say in how things are done. This tells them their opinions and decisions are important, and that they have value. By giving them ownership, we get their active participation and support.
Build personal relationships: Positive, personal interactions with students are huge for creating a supportive environment. Allowing open communication and celebrating achievements will, again, tell the student that their thoughts and ideas have value. Framing failures in a positive manner, such as "challenges" and "learning opportunities," will help them succeed.
Connect with families: Keeping active, open communication with parents and caregivers connects classroom progress with the at-home environment. A back-and-forth with the parent helps show the student that everyone is invested in their progress.
While this advice is usually applicable to all students, for those who are considered at risk, these techniques are of particular importance. Having an accurate picture of the challenges the student faces is vital, especially for communication with caregivers. You can get a good sense of the student in personal interactions, but concrete data is also key to creating a full picture, and to conveying that information to caregivers and administrators.
Sifting through and compiling data on your students who are considered at-risk is extremely time consuming, but the good news is that there are software options to help you see trends in student behavior before issues emerge or escalate.
Incorporate Data Into Your Academic Success Strategy
A big advantage of the techniques listed above is that they fit nearly any budget. If your district's budget has a line item allocated specifically toward managing student risk, you might look at additional training for teachers, or hiring a counselor specializing in students at risk.
Those might be great options for your school district. But implementing the right software program can be a highly cost-effective way to help every teacher and every grade with identifying and tracking students who may need extra attention and assistance.
With Eidex PRISM, our software module assesses data that you're already collecting to help identify students who are at risk.
Take these concrete datapoints to improve your whole-child approach and apply the native reporting function to communicate status and progress. Using the built-in tools, you can:
Track chronic absenteeism and address the connection between attendance and performance.
Monitor the effectiveness of interventions, and even use the module for your at-risk (31a) reporting.
Generate clear, visually intuitive reports to improve communication with all the stakeholders, from parents to school boards.
Best of all, the extra time commitment is minimal. With the integrated data management, you don't need to crunch the numbers, just react to the results.
Help Students at Risk With Extra Support from Eidex
Eidex is a company comprised of educators, which means we have been in your position and understand how challenging it is to support your students who are at risk. We offer extra support to make sure your at-risk strategy is as effective as it can be. The following resources are completely free, so even if you aren't ready to partner with Eidex today, you are still more than welcome to check these out for more information.
Data Coaches: Our experts know all the tips and tricks to PRISM and the at-risk modules and are just a phone call away if you need help. We'll make sure you know how to optimally use PRISM to boost your students at risk when using our software. And if you're not ready to commit to Eidex yet, you can contact us for a free demo.
With Eidex, You Can Be a Better Teacher for Students at Risk
We know that teaching is your passion. It's ours, too. That's why we spend our time building ways to make education easier. Every child is different, and with Eidex, we can help you address each child's individual needs.
If you're ready to start using data to impact your students — both those who are at risk and otherwise — more efficiently, let us know how we can help. Call us at 844-512-3282 or fill out our contact form and we'll work with you on the best solutions for your classroom or district. | eng | 4edd4acc-10bf-4a63-9425-5cfd1b854d39 | https://www.eidexinsights.com/post/how-to-be-a-better-teacher-for-students-at-risk |

🎧 Levi's Jeans
150 years ago a patent was lodged for the first ever pair of jeans (what we'd think of as jeans today at least). There were two names on it. One was the inventor Jacob Davis. The other was the company he was going into business with: Levi Strauss & Co.

The Expectations and Progress of Women
Confucius once said, "a hundred women are not worth a single testicle." Kurt Vonnegut thought that "Educating a beautiful woman is like pouring honey into a fine swiss watch, everything stops." And Clayton Williams expressed that "If rape is inevitable just relax and enjoy it." These are all but a few examples of how many view or have viewed women. For centuries women have been mistreated, belittled, and objectified with the justification that men were superior.
To this day some still believe that a woman's place is solely in the home, to completely submit to her husband and to bear and raise children. Make no mistake, a woman displays significant strength and courage to give birth, but haven't history shown that women are stronger and have exceeded societal expectations of them?
Take World war II for example, with no men around the women had to work to provide for themselves and their families. Women became drivers, mechanics and took on roles in offices and factories. The education of women after the war continued and although a woman with any political view or independence seemed to be chastised as if she wore the scarlet letter herself, the pursuit to be more than just a housewife continued.
This present day, women are doctors, lawyers, politicians, prime ministers, soldiers, and teachers not just mothers. But with all this progress inequality still seems to exist and its seen in the comments and opinions of others reflecting their actions. Why would a female news anchor with the same ratings than her male co star be paid less? Or a female doctor with the same experience than her male counterpart? Inequality is seen in our pay checks, the hiring ratio of females in a business or cooperation and the acceptance rate of females in what we call male dominated fields. Like science, Why can't a female scientist make tremendous scientific contributions? Last I fact checked it was Rosalind Franklin's work that identified the helical conformation of DNA, it was Alice Ball, a black female who at the age of 23 developed an effective treatment for leprosy in the early 20th Century. And Jennifer A. Doudna, who won the 2020 Nobel prize in the field of chemistry for her remarkable work in CRISPR gene editing. Those were just a sample of brilliance women have shared and are capable of so if you ask me a hundred women overpowers a single testicle. Educating a beautiful woman is like planting poisonous herbs in a garden, making it lethal. And rape is not inevitable, but an act committed by the twisted and weak minded.
This stigma that stains a female's ability to succeed as been proven wrong time and time again. Unfortunately, you can take a stained shirt off, but the stain will still be there. So, lets wash the stain off. We can change the sexist ideals being expressed through our actions and teachings and it all starts with our generation. Revisions on maternity leave, abortion and pay equity laws are imperative as well as the endorsement of salary transparency. And by continuing the chain of enlightenment we can achieve what others could not complete, we need to teach our children to be and do better so they may do the same with the generation after. | eng | aab4604f-406b-41da-b3b4-0c62c96bfaf7 | https://www.sfsuscicomm.com/single-post/the-expectations-and-progress-of-women |

What Is an Estate Plan?An estate plan is a collection of legal documents that gives you control over what happens to you, your assets and any dependents you may have if you become disabled or when you die. The plan can include a will, power of attorney forms, trusts and more.
A will. This is a written statement of who should get a deceased person's assets. A will can also name who will assume guardianship of minor children. The requirements for a will to be deemed valid vary state to state. You should consult with an experienced estate planning attorney to make certain that yours is legally binding. Without a will, state intestacy laws govern who receives your assets.
Power of attorney. A health care power of attorney form grants permission for someone else to make decisions on your behalf if you are unable to do so. The financial power of attorney names a person to manage your finances should you be unable to yourself.
Trusts. A trust is an agreement to hold assets for the benefit of another person. Parents create trusts to ensure their assets are properly allocated to their children. Without a trust, the children might inherit all the money at once.
Life events — like turning 18 and going to college, getting married, changing careers, or moving states — often trigger estate planning. Pregnancy is also a good time to begin the process. Work with an experienced estate planning attorney to ensure that your documents are legally correct. In addition to updating an estate plan after a major life change, you should review your plan very few years.
An estate plan can take little time to draft, perhaps a week or two with an attorney, who will work with you every step of the way. Don't put this important task off | eng | 24c51f2d-6396-46f9-9b01-af29f6136a6b | https://leeshawlaw.com/what-is-an-estate-plan/ |
Any of three species of nocturnal, arboreal primates in the family Lorisidae.
Lorises have soft gray or brown fur, huge eyes encircled by dark patches, and no tail. They move slowly and often hang by their feet, leaving their hands free to grasp branches or food. The slender loris (Loris tardigradus) of India and Sri Lanka is 8–10 in. (20–25 cm) long; it eats insects and small animals. The slow lorises (genusNycticebus) of South Asia and the Malay Peninsula eat insects, small animals, fruit, and vegetation. Nycticebus pygmaeus is about 8 in. (20 cm) long; N. coucang is 10.5–15 in. (27–38 cm) long. Habitat degradation and hunting have seriously depleted loris populations.

▪ primate group
any of about eight species of tailless or short-tailed South and Southeast Asian forest primates. Lorises are arboreal and nocturnal, curling up to sleep by day. They have soft gray or brown fur and can be recognized by their huge eyes encircled by dark patches and by their short index fingers. They move with great deliberation through the trees and often hang by their feet, with their hands free to grasp food or branches.
The slender loris (Loris tardigradus, now generally classified as two or more species) of India and Sri Lanka is about 20–25 cm (8–10 inches) long and has long, slender limbs, small hands, a rounded head, and a pointed muzzle. It feeds mostly on insects (predominantly ants) and is solitary. The female usually bears a single young after five or six months' gestation.
The five slow lorises (genusNycticebus) are more robust and have shorter, stouter limbs, more-rounded snouts, and smaller eyes and ears. They are found in Indonesia and on the Malay Peninsula. The smallest species (N. pygmaeus), restricted to forests east of the Mekong River, is about 25 cm long; the larger N. coucang and its relatives, widespread in Southeast Asia, are about 27–37 cm long. Slow lorises move more slowly than slender lorises; they feed on insects, small animals, fruit, and vegetation. The females bear one (sometimes two) young after about six months' gestation. Lorises are related to the pottos and angwantibos of Africa; together they constitute the family Lorisidae.

010 lists other flight numbers assigned to that flight (code share flights sold by other carriers). In your example you are on three flights operated by Etihad, but seats are also sold under code share agreements by Air Berlin, Alitalia, Jet Airways, etc
050 lists the actual flight number of the operating carrier, which in your example is Air Berlin. Etihad sells seats on that flight under code share agreements with their airline designator but you fly on an Air Berlin plane.
So if I understand correctly 010 and 050 are inverse of each other. Secondly, 050 will alway refer to one flight number where as 010 could be one or more and 050 will have an 'OPERATED BY' clause under it? | eng | 37a301bc-96af-4097-a464-5050a6235938 | https://travel.stackexchange.com/questions/39024/amadeus-gds-itinerary-code-what-do-050-and-010-codes-mean |

Parking space is one of the most valuable assets in urban India. The scarcity of parking is a common issue in most Indian cities, which makes renting out parking spaces a lucrative business. If you own a parking space, it is wise to have a rental agreement in place to protect yourself legally. In this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about car parking rental agreement India.
What is a Car Parking Rental Agreement?
A car parking rental agreement is a legal document that outlines the terms and conditions of renting a parking space. It includes important details such as the rent amount, duration of the tenancy, payment terms, responsibilities of the tenant and landlord, and termination clauses. A rental agreement is a binding contract that protects both parties involved in the rental process.
Why is a Car Parking Rental Agreement important?
Having a rental agreement in place is important for several reasons:
1. Legal Protection: A rental agreement protects both the tenant and the landlord legally. It ensures that both parties understand their rights and responsibilities and have a clear understanding of the terms of the rental.
2. Clarity: A rental agreement provides clarity on rent, payment terms, duration of the tenancy, and other important details. This helps avoid misunderstandings and conflicts between the parties involved.
3. Termination Clause: A rental agreement comes with a termination clause that outlines the conditions under which either party can terminate the agreement. This provides security to both parties and helps avoid any legal disputes.
How to Draft a Car Parking Rental Agreement in India?
Drafting a rental agreement can be a complex process. Here are the key elements that must be included in a car parking rental agreement in India:
1. Parties involved: The rental agreement must clearly identify the parties involved, i.e., the landlord and the tenant.
2. Date and Duration: The agreement should specify the date of commencement of the tenancy and its duration.
3. Rent and Payment Terms: The rent amount and payment terms must be clearly stated in the agreement. This includes the due date for the payment of rent and the mode of payment.
4. Responsibilities of the Tenant: The agreement should outline the responsibilities of the tenant, such as keeping the parking space clean, not using it for any other purpose than parking, etc.
5. Responsibilities of the Landlord: The agreement should also outline the responsibilities of the landlord, such as maintaining the parking space, providing access to the parking space, etc.
6. Termination Clause: The agreement should include a termination clause that outlines the conditions under which either party can terminate the agreement.
Conclusion
In conclusion, a car parking rental agreement is an essential legal document that protects both the landlord and the tenant. It ensures that both parties understand their responsibilities and helps avoid any conflicts or misunderstandings. If you own a parking space and are renting it out, it is essential to have a rental agreement in place.
