International Women's Day 2023 – What's changed (and changing) in the UK and Europe
Recent evidence suggests that progress towards gender parity has slowed and that the gender gap has in fact widened since the pandemic. So, on this International Women's Day, we highlight some key legal developments in the UK and Europe that are intended to support women in the workplace - from menstrual leave in Spain to increased redundancy protections for pregnant employees in the UK. We also consider what employers can do now to keep progress on the agenda.
Where are we with gender parity?
Unfortunately, there is evidence that the gender gap has widened since the pandemic. For example:
According to the World Economic Forum, at the current rate of progress it will take another 132 years to reach full gender parity worldwide (up from 100 years in 2020).
Recent studies show that, despite women making up roughly 50% of the population, only one in four C Suite executives is a woman and that less than one in ten of the largest listed companies in the EU have a woman chair or CEO (see here and here).
Women leaders are reported to be leaving their companies at the highest rate in years.
Minding the gaps
While the reasons are of course multifaceted, certain issues either solely or disproportionately affect working women. For example:
Gender pay gap: Evidence suggests that there is still a significant gender pay gap both in the UK (recently reported to be 14%) and the EU (13%).
Gender care gap: While of course men may also be carers, evidence (see here and here) suggests that women are far more likely to have caring responsibilities.
Gender health gap: There are certain conditions that only affect people who menstruate, for example:
- Menopause:evidence suggests that more than 75% of women will suffer menopausal symptoms, and for 25% the symptoms will be severe. Bearing in mind symptoms may last an average of seven years.
- Painful periods: it is estimated that 10% of women suffer from endometriosis, which notoriously can take years to diagnose and can be debilitating.
Respect at work gap:this Government study showed women were more likely to have experienced sexual harassment than men.
Legal developments
So what legislative changes have been happening or are on the horizon to help redress some of these disparities? Here are some highlights to be aware of in the UK and Europe:
Highlights from the UK
The Government pledged in 2019 to introduce a new Employment Bill, which would introduce new statutory leave entitlements to support employees in their family life. As we highlighted in our articles (here and here) in the absence of this, several Private Members' Bills have been gaining momentum in Parliament, with most of them winning (or being predicted to win) Government support indicating they are likely to become law.
This includes Bills to introduce:
Amendments to the existing statutory flexible working regime to make it easier for employees to make a flexible working request.
Entitlement to unpaid carer's leave.
Entitlement to leave (and, subject to qualifying criteria, pay) for time off for neonatal care.
Entitlement for paid bereavement leave for parents who have suffered a miscarriage.
A right to take paid time off work to attend fertility treatment clinic appointments.
Other Bills and developments in this space include:
A Bill to give the Government powers to extend the existing redundancy protection for employees during a period of maternity, adoption or shared parental leave to also cover employees during and after pregnancy, and for a period after an employee has returned to work from maternity, adoption or shared parental leave. Key detail is awaited.
New laws proposing to impose a positive duty on employers to prevent sexual harassment of employees and to make employers liable for harassment of employees by third parties. See here for more information.
Although the Government has rejected the suggestion that menopause should be a recognised protected characteristic for equalities legislation, women in England will be able to access cheaper hormone replacement therapy (HRT) (the main treatment for menopause) through a new prescription prepayment certificate from 1 April 2023, which will likely reduce annual HRT costs (often hundreds of pounds) to less than £20.
Highlights from Europe
While we are unable to cover every change and proposed change across Europe, as with the UK there is a general trend towards increasing protections.
Recent changes include:
Spain: As we previously reported, Spain has become the first European country to give workers the right to paid menstrual leave (potentially up to five days). This will be paid for by the Government.
The EU Work Life Balance Directive: Several EU states have introduced new and extended rights for carers and working parents. For example, one of the key changes is the right to receive five days unpaid carer's leave per year and an extension of the right to request flexible working. We recently reported on its implementation in Ireland.
Some states have gone beyond the requirements of this Directive and provided additional rights. For example, in Belgium 'paternity leave' (which is called 'birth leave') has recently increased from 15 to 20 days.
Ireland: As we previously reported, Ireland has recently introduced gender pay gap reporting obligations for certain employers, starting with those with over 250 employees and to be extended from the fourth year onwards to apply to those with at least 50 employees. This comes ahead of a new Pay Transparency Directive.
Future changes include:
EU Pay Transparency Directive: This is expected to be passed by the EU soon. Some key aspects include requiring employers with at least 250 employees to report on their gender pay gaps (with this threshold being lowered to employers with at least 100 employees five years after the Directive is implemented) and to carry out a pay assessment in cooperation with worker's representatives if there is a pay gap of at least 5%, which the employer is unable to justify on objective gender-neutral factors.
Many EU states already require gender pay reporting but there will likely be changes to existing regimes to comply with the Directive. Changes will not be immediate as EU states will have up to three years from the date it is passed to implement the changes into local law and employers will likely have up to a year from that date to comply with this.
Women on Boards Directive: This will mean that, within EU states, at least 40% of NEDS or 33% of all director positions in large, listed companies (those with more than 250 employees) must be held by the underrepresented gender. As well as these gender quotas this will include requiring transparent recruitment procedures and an explanation where these targets are not met.
Some EU states (like France for example) will already have provisions in place. To the extent that they do not or do not meet the new requirements, they must implement the Directive into national law by the end of 2024 and relevant companies are required to meet these targets by 2026.
While some businesses may be concerned by the prospect of quotas, it is worth stressing that this Directive is not intended to 'lower' the bar. 'Suitability, competence and professional performance, not gender', remain the key factors for the selection process and only when two candidates are equally qualified should the choice be made in favour of the underrepresented sex.
So, what can employers do now to keep progress on the agenda?
Whilst developments may have been slower than many would have wanted (the Women on Boards Directive was first proposed 10 years ago), the conversation on how to advance gender equality in the workplace appears to be having a renewed focus with legal developments on the horizon. In part, this may be driven by the evidence that following the pandemic and recent global crises, gender disparities appear to be increasing. It remains to be seen whether these changes will go far enough to address some of these disparities. In the meantime, what can employers be doing?
Legal compliance
Employers will of course need to ensure they are compliant with existing local law obligations and will want to keep apprised of upcoming changes. Ahead of these proposed changes coming into force, employers may also want to carry out an internal audit of how they align with any new obligations and understand what steps they would need to take to be compliant. For example, in relation to gender balance on boards, do you have gender balance? If not, consider why not and what steps you might want to take.
Beyond the law
Of course, these changes only set out minimum requirements for legal compliance and employers may want to do something sooner and/or go further to effect change. While there is no "one size fits all" approach, here are some steps for employers to consider:
Be curious: Listen to employees to understand their needs and how you might be able to minimise impediments to recruitment, retention, and promotion. For example, understanding any benefits, policies or training that may help.
Encourage open conversations: For example, through training and workshops to raise awareness and encourage an inclusive and supportive culture.
Promote policies: So individuals can access support for themselves, signpost support for others and talk about policies knowledgeably if asked about them by applicants.
Train and upskill managers: So they can identify and understand issues that may disproportionately affect women and can provide appropriate support.

Importance Of Wearing Exam Gloves In Drug Testing
In general terms, the uses for medical exam gloves will vary from one type to the next, with each having its own advantages and disadvantages. When conducting panel drug tests, it is important to keep yourself safe from potentially hazardous compounds in a patient's blood or other bodily fluids.
Considering that the majority of the content on our website is devoted to assisting you in locating drug test kits that you can maintain in your laboratory or refer to businesses that you work with, it makes perfect sense for you to look through some variety of gloves.
It is imperative that exams and drug tests be handled with extreme care. Especially when you are dealing with delicate items like test tubes, delicate pipettes by pipette tip manufacturer, flasks, etc. So get your examination gloves right away!
Hand safety is critical when working with drug testing faculty. You'll know it better as we'll go through below.
2. A Layer Of Defense Against Accidental Splashing
As a general rule, always wear gloves when handling dangerous materials, caustic and hazardous chemicals, and abrasive materials. Disposable nitrile or neoprene gloves are commonly used to protect lab workers from accidental chemical splashes or contact. However, the safety data sheet (SDS) should be examined to ensure that the gloves being worn are chemically compatible.
3. Prevention Against Acute Toxicity
You should always use gloves that are compatible with the chemical and the task at hand while working with high acute toxicity, when using corrosive materials in high concentrations, or when handling chemicals for extended periods.
Selection Of Gloves
Think about the following before purchasing a pair of exam gloves:
Rating of deterioration
Time for a breakthrough
Rate of permeation
1. Degradation
When a glove's physical qualities are altered due to exposure to a chemical, degradation occurs. The most common signs of degradation include hardness, stiffening, swelling, shrinking, or cracking of the glove.
Tests to see how long a glove can withstand exposure to a specific chemical are known as degradation ratings.
2. Breakthrough Time
It is the period of time that elapses between the first contact of the test chemical on the glove's surface and the subsequent analysis of the chemical on the glove's interior.
3. Permeation Rate
A glove's permeation rate measures how quickly a chemical test goes through the glove after breakthrough and equilibrium are attained. The chemical is absorbed on the glove's surface, diffused through the glove, and expelled from the glove's interior. Permeation rate cannot be assessed if a chemical breakthrough does not occur.
Inspection, Use, And Maintenance Of Exam Gloves
Before putting them on, check for signs of wear or punctures on the gloves. In order to check for pinholes, blow or trap air inside the gloves and then roll it out. Filling the gloves with water will make them unpleasant and make it more difficult to detect a leak while wearing them.
Any time there is a chance that the disposable gloves have been contaminated, they should be replaced. If you plan to use reusable gloves for a long amount of time, you should wash them periodically. The long term reusable gloves are usually used by no health sectors like furniture manufacturers who deal in acrylic chairs wholesale. This is because there's less chances of contacting dangerous substances or germs.
Keep your hands off the work surface when not in the lab. Move supplies between the lab and other places of assistance with the help of carts or carriers.
Allow for common area objects, such as door knobs and elevator buttons, to be touched with one gloved hand and the other ungloved hand.
Wearing gloves, be careful not to touch anything other than the materials needed for the procedure. Contamination can be spread by touching things like equipment, phones, wastebaskets, and other surfaces.
Refrain from allowing anyone to make any kind of physical contact with your face, hair, or clothing.
Before taking them off, wash the glove's exterior. By grabbing the cuff and peeling the glove off the hand, you can avoid any skin contact with the first glove, which should be inside out. Touch the inside of the glove cuff instead of the outside with the second hand. Soak your hands in soap and water as soon as possible.
Reusable gloves should be cleaned and cared for according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
Allergies To Latex And Other Latex Products
Those exposed to latex might risk developing a sensitivity to it or an allergy. Asthma, shock, and skin rashes are all possible side effects of latex exposure.
Sensitization to natural rubber latex can be minimized by reducing exposure levels, although the exact amount of exposure needed to cause sensitization is unknown.
Conclusion
Wearing gloves may provide protection but won't keep your hands clean. After removing gloves, hands must be cleansed and disinfected.
It's a good way to ensure no infectious material gets in through an unnoticed tear. The use of disposable gloves is not only more cost-effective but also eliminates the necessity for cleaningosing weight is a challenge for many people.

Abstract
This article focuses the discussion on the challenges that Social Pedagogy must assume in order to increase young people's civic engagement in the globalized world in which we live, putting an emphasis on their everyday reality. Taking into consideration that being young in a network society can have multiple meanings, five key transitions are analysed with the aim of making a socio-pedagogic (re)interpretation of the youth condition: from object of attention to subject of social action; from the approach to the needs to the recognition of abilities; from education to work as fundamental rights; from family dependency to civic chore; from individual actors to social network builders. Within this framework, suggestions are proposed to generate new pedagogical and social opportunities for young people, who are fully involved -in their capacity as free and responsible citizens- in the creation of a more sustainable, fair and equitable world. | eng | 1943bb92-f6f1-4a9a-8788-29c49ae40c99 | https://revistaschilenas.uchile.cl/handle/2250/26366 |
In a story that reads like something from a 19th-century novel, a con man from the Volga region in Russia succeeded in establishing a colony in the African nation of Djibouti.
Ivan Ivanovich Sheikhov, better known as "The Cossack of Djibouti," was born in the 1850s in the Volga region of Russia. A swindler, thief and liar, Sheikhov was well known in the area for his shady dealings. But in 1887, Sheikhov had a new idea — he would travel to Africa and set up a colony of Russian settlers.
Sheikhov traveled to Djibouti, then a French protectorate, and with his charm and charisma managed to convince the French authorities to grant him a piece of land. He then declared himself the "Chief of the Cossack Colony" and began to attract settlers from his home region.
The settlement, known as Sheikhovka, grew quickly and soon had a population of around 500 people. Sheikhov established a school, a post office and a small trading post. He also built a church and a mosque in the town, in a sign of the religious tolerance that was practiced there.
Despite his criminal past, Sheikhov proved to be an effective leader. He was well-liked by the local population, and his colony prospered.
Unfortunately, Sheikhov's success was short-lived. In 1908, the French authorities revoked Sheikhov's lease on the land and evicted him and his followers. Sheikhov returned to Russia, where he died in 1915.
But the legacy of Sheikhov and his Cossack colony lives on in Djibouti. The town of Sheikhovka remains, a testament to the audacity of a con man from the Volga region who managed to found a colony in Africa. | eng | fcbcd07f-87c3-4afc-b138-d2a44133c4ee | https://eutimes.eu/world/a-cossack-from-djibouti-con-man-founded-colony-africa/ |

This chaotic West German poster for Der söldner des syndikats caught our eye for a couple of reasons. One was its sheer garishness, and the other was because the unknown artist depicted diminutive Mickey Rooney all swoll up like a Marvel Comics superhero. It just screams cheeseball classic, so we had to check out the film, which is known in English as 24 Hours To Kill. When a plane makes an emergency landing in Beirut the flight crew learns that one of their number (Rooney, decidedly un-swoll and unheroic) is hunted by a criminal smuggling syndicate he's double crossed. The repaired plane leaves in twenty-four hours, and the crew decide to protect Rooney until that time. Abandoning him is out, because he's a pal, and going to the police is out, because they'd be stuck in Beirut for days or weeks, thus making the syndicate's job easier.
So the plan is to protect Mickey Louse for a day and then jet—if they can manage it. What follows is a series of botched abductions worthy of Raiders of the Lost Ark, ornamented with location shooting in Byblos, Baalbeck, Casio Du Liban, and a Beirut long since reshaped by war and bulldozed for high rises and privatized resorts. Those locations possibly make the movie worthwhile all on their own, and other beautiful sights are provided by co-stars Helga Sommerfield and France Anglade. A minor '60s thriller, this one feels like a television movie, which means the level of tension is not nearly high enough. Nor the level of action—there's more on the poster than in the film. But even if the art misleads, the movie is entertaining enough. Made in English by the West German production company Grixflag Films Ltd., Der söldner des syndikats premiered in West Germany today in 1965 | eng | db867286-ea5f-4685-9fe6-d52066fbb109 | https://pulpinternational.com/pulp/keyword/France+Anglade.html |

Compressed Air Isn't Free! Capacity Control Options Help Manage Your Compressed Air Production – and Your Budget
Turns out that same lesson from my mom many years ago applies to compressed air as well. Producing more compressed air than you need means you're wasting money. Compressors are frequently one of the biggest users of electricity in an industrial setting. But while producing compressed air isn't free, there are ways to help balance the compressed air your operation demands with the supply available.
First, a few high-level concepts to understand the options. For simplicity, we are going to focus primarily on flooded rotary-screw compressors.
Fully Loaded – this can be compared to "full throttle" in an automobile. The compressor is essentially utilizing full power and producing the maximum amount of air it can. In a fully loaded state the sump is fully pressurized.
Part Load – when a compressor is operating at less than its full load capacity, this is considered part load. For most customers, part load performance is much more important than full load. Rarely does an operation continuously use all the available capacity of a compressor. Many factors affect part load efficiency. To fully understand part load efficiencies, performance (or power) curves can be developed showing energy usage at various flow rates.
Turndown – the turndown ratio refers to the effective operational range of a compressor. The design of a rotary screw compressor relies on pressure and temperatures to operate in specific ranges. Maintaining these ranges is critical to manage the competing forces of physics including rotor and housing expansion and bearing loads.
As noted above, operations continuously using a fully-loaded compressor are rare, especially as the size of the compressor increases. For this reason, it is important to understand options available to better match the compressed air supply available to the compressed air demand of your facility. And since full load is not common, understanding how to manage part load with effective turndown is critical. The closer you can match available supply to demand, the more cost-efficient your compressor operations are.
Common Methods to Manage Compressor Capacity
Start/Stop:
The most basic control method available is start/stop. Simply put, when additional air is not needed, power to the motor is stopped. When a need for air returns, the power is restarted. An easy way to picture this concept is a light switch. Flip it up – power goes through the lines and we have light. Flip it down – power is shut off and the lights go out. Start/Stop is appropriate only for operations without frequent on/off cycling, and typically smaller size compressor operations. If we consider our light switch analogy, repeated flipping on and off will lead to premature failure of the switch.
Inlet Modulation:
With inlet modulation, a reduction in demand is addressed by adjusting the inlet to reduce incoming airflow and, thus, pressure. This method provides limited capacity control due to system requirements needed to maintain appropriate operating pressures.
Variable Displacement:
Variable displacement control allows the effective length of the compression chamber to grow and shrink based upon changes in air demand. This is accomplished through specially designed air ends which include bypass ports. Opening bypass ports shrinks the size of the compression chamber reducing the amount of air compressed while reducing energy consumed. The means of opening and closing these ports varies by compressor manufacturer but the principle works similarly.
To picture how lengthening or shortening the compression chamber works, consider a bicycle pump. When you pull the pump to its full length and push all the way down, you are using the full chamber. However, using short strokes on that same pump means you are shortening the compression chamber.
There are a number of different means to actuate variable displacement air ends. Two of the most common are rotating valves and poppet valves. A rotating valve works by gradually opening and closing bypass ports, providing a generally smooth power curve until reaching maximum turndown. Units utilizing a poppet valve create a "stairstep" power curve as the capacity changes.
Because variable displacement control is primarily focused on shortening and lengthening the effective compression chamber, these options are typically not affected by atmospheric conditions such as altitude and dirty environments.
Variable Speed Drive:
With a variable speed drive (vsd), the motor speed automatically adjusts to increase or decrease compressed air production based upon changes in demand. This direct connection to the compressor motor means the most precise correlation of production to demand among available control methods. Using our earlier automobile analogy, the variable speed drive acts like smooth gas pedal operation – gradually increasing and decreasing speed.
Additional control options are available when multiple compressors are utilized in a facility. Similar to individual compressor control, system controls can help manage multiple compressors in a fashion which optimizes energy efficiency.
With so many options, how do you decide the best choice for your facility? The best place to start is a comprehensive compressed air audit. These audits can help you identify solutions which will best optimize your compressed air operations. One deliverable from most audits is the opportunity to model different options in terms of compressor sizing and control methods.

That's right…today, is finally my birthday and I'm 33! I am excited to be celebrating another trip around the sun. Yay…there's something special to me about today. So why not celebrate it?
With every year that passes I totally embrace my age, always thinking that my new age is better than the previous one. It goes to show that change is something we should embrace. The things that we fear – including the fear of the unknown – can be what makes us happy when we look back.
So how excited am I? As you can see…very!
I don't know if one's 30s are really that different from your 20s but if they are, I'll be telling you about it here.
Age really truly is just a number and I think society sets expectations for us to feel like we need to have something by a certain age or we should be something at this or that age – and I think that isn't really fair or true. It isn't fair to pressure ourselves to feel something by this age or that 'this' should be happening in my life; I truly believe that what's meant to be will be and there is no time limit on the things you want to achieve.
I would say for where I am in my life, personally and professionally, I am exactly where I would want to be and have even exceeded my expectations for what I wanted to achieve by this age.
Since it's my birthday, I figured that I would compile a short list of some of the most important things I've learned thus far.
Never miss real stories from India's women.
1. You never know
Don't judge until you've walked in someone's shoes. People assume they know everything about me because a lot of my life is documented through social media. They don't. In fact, they don't know 50% of my past or my life. I have had many bumps in the road. MANY. No one has seen my struggles and that's ok with me but to judge without knowing isn't logical. Life online looks flawless, blessed and glamorous. Don't judge a book by its cover because you never know.
2. You can not change people
This is probably the hardest thing ever for me. For years I would try to control the outcome of family, friendships, work, etc. This year I've realized that 'it is what it is'. My trying to control the situation and change people into something they're not is counterproductive and f&@#ing pointless. It's a waste of my breath. People are who they are. This year I've become more accepting…especially because you never know the whole story. People are set in their ways for their own reasons.
3. No one is going to do anything for you
If you want something to happen, get off your ass and make it happen. A godfather isn't going to come create a dream career for you because you want it. Life is what you make of it. It's not going to fall into your lap. If you want to be in a better relationship, work on yours or get out and say BYE. If you want to do good in the world, then do good. Opportunities don't just fall from the sky, you gotta make it happen.
4. Worrying gets you nowhere
Worrying is pointless. Pointless. What's the point of worrying? Whenever I start worrying about something I cannot control, I shift my focus. Life is going to flow how it flows.
5. You are going to get criticised no matter what you do, so do your thing
No matter where I've been in life, people have criticised me. If I had listened to every piece of negative feedback, I'd be like sitting in a dark room. We've all been criticised at one time or another. You gotta do what you gotta do and either way someone, somewhere will have something to say. If you don't want to be criticised, say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.
6. Start small but look for bigger opportunity
Doing things outside of your comfort zone is something I've written about before. It keeps you feeling alive. Even if it doesn't work out quite as you'd hoped, you're always the better person for it. Life should be about occasionally taking risks. Not necessarily crazy, stupid, death-defying ones, just steps of varying sizes towards an end goal.
That end goal? To enrich your life. To fill it with people you want to spend time with. To learn new skills. To help someone else achieve something. To see new places and have new experiences.
Obviously this is a list of things that I need to work on daily because I'm not perfect by any means and need daily reminders. Really, it just kind of helps to write these reminders down! I'm not preaching, just sharing…again, do what works for you!
Thank you so much for giving me the best birthday gift I could ask for – your love and support for me mean so much and I am forever grateful to share with you! Continue to take a journey with me and explore the amounts of Love available in the blessing called Life and sprinkle it with as much Laughter as possible…

In the time of a new capital foundation on the Neva river shore, dances were inherent part of European society life which was the ambition of Peter the Great. It was not only an entertainment and a kind of leisure activity. It was widely thought that dance helps to work out a deportment distinguishing a noble person from a bumpkin and it also helps to learn and hone manners. One could tell person could become a good courtier from the way person danced.
In the new capital first balls comes out quite early, in 1711. In 1718 after his return from Europe, Peter the Great issued his famous edict about Assemblies which became prototype of splendid Russian balls. Also he brought into vogue dancing skill – imperial couple loved to dance and knew a lot of dances.
In the days of Anna Ioanovna dances flourished. Namely this Empress opened Overland nobleman site where all Russian noble sons dreamed to learn and where dances was a compulsory subject; dancing school famous nowadays as the Russian Ballet Academy named after A.Ya. Vaganova. During the reign of Anna Ioanovna made appearance a tradition of a regular imperial balls – each year at the same feasts, for example at the patron saints Remembrance days of Russian orders St. Andrew the First Called and Alexander Nevsky, at the Christmastide, at the Empress Name day and at the day of her enthronement – at these days there were the balls at the Winter Palace or another imperial residence. As the years passed during the reign of other emperors some of the celebration days were changed, but tradition of annual imperial balls dedicated to important calendar milestones remained constant.
«Elizabeth was the joyful queen, she sing and joy…» – wrote Aleksei Tolstoy about the reign of Peter the Great's daughter. For float, at the days of this Empress all Saint Petersburg danced, moreover at the books of that times was written that all novelties featured at the Versailles appeared in Petersburg within 4 weeks only. Foreigners admiringly imaged that 15 pairs were organically and contemporaneous stepping a Minuet ahead of the Empress. At the days of Elizabeth fancy-dress balls were remarkable popular. In fairness it must be said that usually all balls for which were prepared special dancing dresses was called "fancy-dress balls". Faces were masked not in every instance.
Loving of fancy-dress balls also was inherited by Catherine the Great. At her reign public court balls and fancy-dress balls didn't budge on the splendor of similar feasts in the days of Elizabeth. Aspiring for enlightenment Empress didn't wasting the opportunity to use public feasts to liquidate a widespread society vices: for example, in December 1764 guests of the public fancy-dress ball had an opportunity to watch a few moral performances before it's starting. Gained popularity in a high society fancy-dress balls however didn't push out traditional balls. Ball was organizing at the court on each Sunday and it was starting with a Minuet: the Grand Prince with the Grand Princess, after them courtiers and guard officers holding the rank not lower than Colonel. After that were following contradances and «Polish» dances. Grandees organized private balls every day. According to the Komarovsky, on Wednesdays balls had princess Golitzina, on Sundays – countess Saltykova and so on. Merchants also organized balls and fancy-dress balls at their assemblies.
During the reign of Emperor Pavel situation changed. Balls and fancy-dress balls became disfavor, especially it concerned a new dance appeared at that period – waltz, which was temporary forbidden by the Emperor. There was issued a directive binding to turn off the light at 10 p.m. and therefore to finish all entertainment. According to the directive policemen watched at all fancy-dress balls which were marching on at private houses and theaters. For five years fancy-dress balls were liquidated substantially.
The beginning of Alexander's reign was marked by splendid celebrations in both capitals – Saint Petersburg and Moscow. Fancy-dress balls became one of the most popular entertainment in XIX century by reason of their freedom and in-game origin. Public fancy-dress balls traditionally took place at the Winter Palace on the 1st of January. Delegates of different classes got together at the feast with more than 30000 guests. Feasts were stately, halls were decorated with great painters' works which inspired societarian beauties to compose a life paintings. Balls were opening with the «Polish dance», after there were following anglaises, ecossaises and quadrille. Mazurka appeared in Saint Petersburg in 1810.
In the days of Nicholas I balls were given all year round except abstinence period. As before winter was a main ball time. Balls were held at the Bolshoi Theater and Nobility Assembly. They started at 9 or 10 p.m. to the strains of the polonaise from Rossini's opera «Hermiona» and commonly continued till daybreak. Carousels – horse dances – come into vogue reflecting interest in past. «Ball with a servant» as a tribute to the times was held on the 1st of January 1828 at the Winter Palace. More than a half of the ball guests were St. Petersburg bourgeoisies. Also at those days dancing parties were very popular, not only balls. The difference between dancing party and ball lied in that dancing party didn't claim a lot of guests. There was equal immodestly to put on street clothes or evening dress at a party – guests had to primp slightly. Party atmosphere was easy and joyful, evening program depended on host's flair: it could be dances, dinners or card plays, discourses or argument conducts. Sometimes guests played skip rope and forfeits or danced waltzes.
In the days of Alexander II, in mid-to-late XIX century public balls in aid of a charity with entrance fee or special police permission became more popular. Public fancy-dress balls and concerts were organizing by the Imperial Theaters Directorate, about six fancy-dress balls were organizing by Petersburg Nobility Assemble and Moscow Honorable Assemble. Charities couldn't organize fancy-dress balls. They was able to organize only public balls with lotteries, bazaars and auctions no more than once in a year at the days coordinated with the Imperial Theaters Directorate. At educational institutions and private clubs fancy-dress balls were organizing without entrance fee. Also there were children balls. In the halls of Nobility Assemble on 16th of February 1878 the charity ball was given by French colony to support of families of killed and wounded in the war. The ball ingathered about 5000 guests in spite of entrance tickets high price.
Court balls of the last quarter of XIX century in the reign of Alexander III were fundamentally symbolic and they had strongly pronounced political character. On 24th of January 1888 famous Green or also known as Emerald ball took place at the Winter Palace. At that ball most of women wore emerald jewelers had color of evergreen hope. Growing animosity between Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires reflected in so called Black ball which was given on 26th of January 1889 at the Anichkov Palace in Saint Petersburg. "Black dresses, black hand fans, black gloves and black shoes – all of dresses were delightful. White diamonds and pearls on black satin, silk, gauze and dark tulle shimmered bright. Music program consisted of Viennese music only." Guests waltzed to the «Wiener Blut», had supper to the strains of the «Hungarian dance» analogous to czardas.
In the early XX century in the days of Russian last Emperor, capital ball life abated in steps. Dancers continued their «light» dances repertoire with mazurka and waltz only. Usually after waltz there was the Hungarian dance, cracovienne, pas de patineurs, pas d'Espagne and pas de quatre. Polka, mazurka and others were extruded step by step with more reposeful dances in which dancers could `show` their grace and exquisiteness. Pas de quatre and chaconne resembled the idea and tempo of «Fêtes galantes» old dances – the period of court culture flourishing.
In the end of the First World War cosy family parties became popular. Tango and fox-trot were novelty. However fox-trot wasn't counted as a float dance, tango role wasn't sizable and there were a lot of indelicate anecdotes about this dance. | eng | 5fc95b7b-621c-4961-9580-bba87957d365 | https://www.visit-petersburg.ru/en/route/tp-166-balnaya-zhizn-stolitsy-rossiyskoy-imperii/ |

How many days should I spend in Busan?
Assuming you spend about two weeks in South Korea, I think 2-3 days in Busan is a good amount of time to spend. This allows you a full day to explore all the city's major tourist attractions, plus time for a day trip outside the urban core, such as to coastal Haedong Yunggungsa temple.

Busan is one of the most beautiful cities to visit for a holiday. Busan in winter is all the more exciting. From local seafood to nightlife and spiritual experience to major festivals, Busan offers everything one must experience during a lifetime.
How cold is winter in Busan?
Though it doesn't often snow or even rain in Busan in the winter months, temperatures range from 29 degrees Fahrenheit (-2 degrees Celsius) to 49 degrees Fahrenheit (9 degrees Celsius), and Siberian winds from the north often make the city seem much colder.
Which is better Jeju or Busan?
When we compare the travel costs of actual travelers between Busan (Pusan) and Cheju (Jeju), we can see that Busan (Pusan) is more expensive. And not only is Cheju (Jeju) much less expensive, but it is actually a significantly cheaper destination. So, traveling to Cheju (Jeju) would let you spend less money overall.
Is Busan or Seoul better?
As you might have guessed it really comes down to why you are going to Korea in the first place. If you want to enjoy the nightlife in Korea then Seoul is definitely the correct choice. If you want to enjoy the scenic views of the Korean coast, then Busan is much better than Seoul in that regard.
Do they speak English in Busan?
The people are generally more conservative and English is not as widely spoken in Busan.
How cold Is Korea in winter?
In winter, the average temperature is a few degrees below freezing (0 °C or 32 °F); sunshine is quite common, and a cold wind blows from the Asian continent.

around 12 hours
The Busan Jeju ferry route connects South Korea with South Korea. Currently there is just the 1 ferry company operating this ferry service, MS Ferry. The crossing operates up to 3 times each week with sailing durations from around 12 hours.
Is it cheaper to live in Busan or Seoul?
Busan is a lot cheaper than Seoul, especially for transport and rent! The standard of living, like the air quality, is excellent and that could tip the scales when choosing your destination, especially if your budget is very limited.
Is Korea English friendly?
People in South Korea generally understand more English than they speak. Even though English is taught in schools, Koreans, by and large, don't get enough opportunities to speak English. Still, Koreans are friendly and helpful, and you should be able to get around, even in less populated areas.
Is Busan better than Seoul?
Does it snow in Seoul?
Seoul gets its first snow of the year in late November but it melts away almost immediately. You'll get real snow from December through early March but Seoul does not get that much snow considering its freezing weather. (Seoul is very dry-cold in the winter!)
Why there is no snow in Busan?
So why is it then, that Busan rarely gets any snow? Basically, the reason is Busan's geography. One of the biggest reasons is the Sobaek Mountain Range. As this mountain range runs diagonally through the peninsula, it acts as a barricade from snow forming over parts of the Eastern coast of Korea. | eng | a94f6ad6-3648-4dd2-a6d2-30cadeb03052 | https://www.camomienoteca.com/essay-writing-guide/do-people-live-in-gamcheon-culture-village/ |

Here's how often you should clean and replace your pillows, according to allergists
If you're like most people, you probably find a pillow you like and stick with it until it basically disintegrates. But while having a comfy, lulling pillow is crucial to a good night's sleep, sticking with the same one for ages isn't the best thing for your health. And if you rarely — or never — wash your pillow, that's even worse. "Your pillows are filled with dust mites as well as other allergens that you bring into bed with you," Dr. Purvi Parikh, an allergist and immunologist with the Allergy & Asthma Network, tells Yahoo Life. If you're an allergy sufferer, you're doing yourself a huge disservice by not cleaning and replacing your pillows on a regular basis. So: How often should you wash and replace your pillows? The answer might surprise you.
In general, allergists say you should be washing your pillows at least once a month. "Pillows should be washed regularly in hot water," Dr. Shaan Waqar, an allergist and immunologist at ENT and Allergy Associates, tells Yahoo Life. "Once-a-month washing of your pillows can be very helpful to reduce dust mite allergen exposure." (Worth noting: It's important to read your pillow's label to make sure it's washing machine–safe.)
Got bad allergies? Consider washing your pillows even more often. "You should wash your pillows at least once every two weeks in hot water to kill germs, mold and dust mites that have colonized your pillows," Dr. Evan Li, an assistant professor of medicine in Immunology, Allergy & Rheumatology at Baylor College of Medicine, tells Yahoo Life.
You're probably aware on some level that using your pillow until it falls apart isn't a "best practice," but you're also likely not aware of just how often you swap it out. Well, the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America recommends replacing pillows every two years to — you guessed it — protect yourself from dust mites and other allergens. That's true even if you're good about washing your pillow regularly. "They collect allergens, dirt and debris, even with frequent washing," Parikh explains.
Not sure how old your pillow is? There are a few hacks that can help signal when it's time to replace your pillows. One is the folding trick, which involves folding your pillow in half and putting a book on top of it. If the pillow is in good shape, it will open back up to its original shape; If it's not doing so hot, it will stay folded in half. (Memory foam pillows, by the way, should be replaced when they can't keep their original form.)
You can also help extend the life of your pillows — and keep dust mites from penetrating your pillow — with pillow protectors, Parikh says.
These zippered pillowcases are Amazon bestsellers. They come in a range of sizes and colors, just in case you want to go beyond the basic white. The covers are bed bug- and dust mite-proof, and can be tossed in the wash as needed.
Amazon's bestselling pillow set has an army of fans. It's filled with a fluffy down alternative and has a 250 thread count cover for a soft, cooling feel. The pillows are versatile — they work great for side, back and stomach sleepers — and have a bounce-back design that won't shift on you.
You can't beat the price of this popular pillow two-pack. They feature a gel down alternative for a cooling feel that holds its shape and won't pancake out on you. The polyester cover is also soft and cooling, so you don't have to stress about waking up looking like a sweaty beast. Choose from standard, queen and king sizes.
This dual-sided memory foam pillow has an gently arched side designed for back sleepers, along with a flatter side for stomach and side sleepers. It's crafted from the brand's specialized Tempur material, which doesn't lose its shape or support over time.
"I have purchased so many pillows and I have been so unlucky," said a five-star fan. "I wasn't expecting this pillow to be any different, but shockingly I have been sleeping a lot better with this pillow. I used to wake up almost daily with head and neck aches. My neck is significantly less sore and my headaches have decreased drastically. I don't have any other explanation than to give credit to my new pillow | eng | 18e958db-5e18-4782-bc8f-1de52d1414fd | https://uk.style.yahoo.com/how-often-to-replace-pillows-145250324.html |

I Samuel 10
I Samuel 10
Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said: " Is it not because the Lord has anointed (rub with oil, consecrate) you commander over His inheritance? (an estate, portion, possession)
I Samuel 10:1 NKJV
There are 4 persons involved in this leadership ordination: 1.The Lord, 2.Samuel the prophet, 3.Saul the commander and 4. the Lord's inheritance, His people.
Ultimately, the authority given to Saul did not come from the people, nor did it come from Samuel, but it came directly from the Lord Himself. But without Samuel who heard from the Lord and faithfully carried out His instructions, Saul wouldn't have been recognised and anointed as commander, and His people would be without a leader of God's choice and blessings. Saul was chosen to serve the people who was God's inheritance or possession. The people do not belong to the leader nor to the State, they belong to God!
God the Commander-in-Chief – the prophet – the commander – God's inheritance the people
There are many leaders today, either politically or in the church, that unfortunately bypassed this process, resulting in either self made leaders, or leaders made by the people (usually through an election system), or leaders who inherited or appointed by previous leaders, but God was not involved in the process, and we wonder why there are so much confusions and lacking in God's blessings? (I am not talking about your church of course). And we wonder why there are so much power struggles, fights, slanders, backslapping and so on in our political world today? All because man try to get ahead of God and bypass Him being the ultimate authority and Chief Commander.
If we want stability and blessings from our Lord, we need to go back to God's original pattern of leadership process and initiation. We also need someone like Samuel who can hear from God and recognise the God ordained leaders from amongst the people. Moreover, we need someone (Saul unfortunately did not follow instructions from above) who faithfully follow instructions from the Lord of hosts to be able to govern as commander of His people. Finally, we need people who recognise, support and obey the leader of God's choice.
God has His pattern and set up of leadership in heaven and on earth. Unfortunately, so does the devil, the one who usurped God's authority as self appointed leader, who sets up his own leadership structure on earth! Man also have their own leadership set up and hierarchical structures which do not necessarily involve God. So are ALL authority from God? The answer obviously is NO!
Romans 13:1-2 KJV
Not ALL governing authorities that exist on earth are from God, not every hierarchy set up by man in the name of God are necessarily of God either.
We are only required to submit to and obey godly authorities ordained by God. In Samuel's days, for example, that would include king Saul who was later on replaced by king David.
1 Samuel 10:1
Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said: " Is it not because the Lord has anointed you commander over His inheritance?
1 Samuel 10:1
Notice that it was the Lord, rather than Samuel, who anointed Saul as the king of Israel. Nevertheless, Saul did not turn out to be a godly man, and as a result, the Lord ended his reign and replaced his position with "a man after His own heart", David.
Saul derived his power and authority from above, but sadly due to his disobedience, God terminated his term of rulership over Israel. We need to be careful that the leaders we submit to are not people carrying titles whose authority from above has already expired long ago. | eng | 377648f8-803d-480c-bc01-af4bbeaa12d4 | https://soundofdestiny.com/index.php/2020/05/12/i-samuel-10/ |

What Is An Axon In Neuroscience
What is an Axon?
An axon is a long, slender projection of a neuron that transmits electrical impulses, known as action potentials, away from the cell body to other neurons, muscles, or glands. Axons can vary in length, with some extending up to several feet in the human body. They are an essential component of the nervous system, facilitating communication between different cells. Axons are insulated by a fatty substance called myelin, which helps speed up the transmission of electrical signals. This myelin sheath is produced by glial cells, such as oligodendrocytes in the central nervous system and Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. The myelin sheath is interrupted at regular intervals, called nodes of Ranvier, which further facilitate the rapid conduction of nerve impulses along the axon.
Examples of Axons in neuroscience
Action Potential Propagation
Action potentials are generated at the axon hillock and propagate along the axon towards the axon terminals. The myelin sheath and nodes of Ranvier enable saltatory conduction, a rapid mode of signal transmission that allows the action potential to "jump" between the nodes.
Neuromuscular Junction
The axon of a motor neuron extends from the spinal cord to the neuromuscular junction, where it connects with muscle fibers. The electrical signal transmitted by the axon is converted into a chemical signal at the synapse, leading to muscle contraction.
Neuronal Communication
Axons play a critical role in the transmission of information between neurons. They help form synapses with dendrites or cell bodies of other neurons, facilitating the exchange of electrical and chemical signals within the nervous system. | eng | 17fac3c3-d784-448a-ab1e-904ac7adf39d | https://www.thebehavioralscientist.com/glossary/axon |
Risk Factors for Gum Disease
Risk Factors for Gum Disease
Gum disease is an infection that damages the gum tissue. Gingivitis is the earliest stage, and it causes red and swollen gums. If untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, which can result in tooth loss. Here are some common causes of gum disease:
Tobacco Use
Smoking or using other tobacco products can increase your risk for gum disease and tooth loss. These products contain harmful chemicals that can also affect your oral health. People who smoke or use other kinds of tobacco are more likely to get cavities, gum recession, and oral infections than people who don't use these products. Cigarette smoking also causes bad breath and yellowed teeth.
Genetics
When a person has a family history of gum disease, they may be more susceptible to developing the disease themselves. While genes aren't the only determining factor when it comes to a person's oral health, they can play a significant role. If a parent or sibling has had gum disease, they may want to consider having more frequent cleanings at their dentist's office in order to reduce their chances of also getting the disease.
If the disease is already present, a dentist may recommend more intensive treatments such as scaling and root planing to help reduce the damage that has already been done to the gum tissues. This can help prevent further damage from occurring to teeth and the surrounding bone.
If a person has a genetic predisposition toward gum disease, they shouldn't feel discouraged from seeking treatment for their oral issues. The earlier the condition is treated, the better the prognosis will be in the long run.
Hormonal Imbalances
Hormone imbalances may weaken your immune system, which can put you at risk for periodontal disease. Some common symptoms of hormonal imbalance include:
Changes in appetite
Weight gain or loss
Fatigue or lethargy
Sensitivity to hot and cold foods and drinks
Mood swings
Each of these symptoms can affect your oral health and increase your risk of gum disease. Talk to your dentist about any hormonal issues you're having and how they might be affecting your body. They can advise you on how best to manage your hormones for a healthier smile.
Diabetes and Other Medical Conditions
People with diabetes or conditions that cause inflammation are at higher risk for gum disease, but you can help protect yourself by maintaining good oral hygiene. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a toothpaste containing fluoride, floss daily, and visit the dentist regularly. If your dentist identifies gum disease early, you may only need regular cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

If you're looking to increase your revenue, owning a car wash is a great option. With an estimated 2895 million registered cars in the United States in 2022, there will be no shortage of customers. 20,000 cars washed in one year can bring in an average revenue of $139,000.
Car owners should plan to tip 15% to 20% of the total cost for a full-service car wash and wax. The quality of the services rendered, as well as the car owner's relationship with the service provider, are significant factors to consider when deciding on a gratuity. Additional tips may be appropriate for outstanding work.
How much should I charge to wash a car by hand?
There is no set rule for tipping, but a gratuity of 15 to 20 percent is generally expected. This is based on the etiquette experts at The Emily Post Institute and a CreditCardscom survey that peg the median tip in the US at 18 percent.
How many times a week should you wash your car
If you want to keep your car looking its best, washing it every two weeks is a good rule of thumb.

Do microfiber towels scratch cars
Microfiber towels are made of very fine fibers that are less likely to cause scratching than other materials. However, if you use them incorrectly, you may still scratch the paint. Be sure to use a soft, lint-free microfiber towel and avoid rubbing the surface too hard.

In most cases, this gratuity is added to the bill by the restaurant. tips are usually not necessary at fast-food restaurants, though you may want to leave a small amount if the service was particularly good.
If you have a good experience with your hair assistant, it is common practice to leave a tip of $3-$5. This lets them know that you appreciated their services and will help encourage them to provide even better service in the future!
How does 20% tip work
When giving a tip, a good rule of thumb is to round off the total amount and double it. For example, if your check total is $4286, you would round it off to $43 and then double it, which would be $86.
While you can wash your car by hand, it's best to focus on the wheels as they are most likely to be the dirtiest. Use a hose with a nozzle that provides good water pressure to spray the wheels of the car.

Warring States Period of Japan (1 ene 1467 año – 4 agos 1590 año)
Descripción:
In the years since Japan came under the military rule of the shogunate, the country had slowly fractured into various provinces controlled by warlords. At the same time, trade and agriculture boomed due to trading with China; this meant that the Japanese lords developed a hunger for more land as commer-cial cities developed. It was in these turbulent times when a controversy arose on who would be the next shogun; and as a result, two provinces fought it out in what's known as the Ōnin War. This civil conflict then spiralled out into all of Japan; and from 1467, all twenty-one provinces waged war on each other in an attempt to become the next shogun. Historians refer to this time as the "Sengoku period", meaning "Age of Warring States". | eng | 633b89ab-a7bc-45fe-a9b9-d344ec3bf6cf | https://time.graphics/es/period/149265 |

Treraven farm is made up of a variety of habitats and is a haven for wildlife. Our site management aims to improve the site's wildlife value over time and we want to involve expert partners and volunteers in that process.
species
habitats
Reptiles and Amphibians People have seen lizards, slow worms, grass-snakes, frogs and toads at Treraven; mostly in the hay meadows and adjoining woods.
The salt marsh meadows These were drained circa 1800, and then re-flooded for wild-life habitat and to aid flood prevention in 2006.During the 1950's and 1960's the drained flood plain was used for summer autocross racing, car racing on grass.
Birds Many people enjoy bird watching at Treraven, especially looking out over the salt marshes at water birds, or watching barn owls hunting over the hay meadows at dusk. In late spring Will Delacour leads a dawn chorus bird-song walk, teaching how to recognize birds by their calls and flight patterns
New woodlands and orchards The new woods on the borders of the open-access hay meadows contain diverse species and were planted in 2002. They need thinning and coppicing, and other forms of management to improve their value as wildlife habitat.
A small fruit orchard with plums, apples and other fruit was planted near the top of the hill in 2015 and there are plans for more orchards in time.
Butterflies and moths Nearly 200 moth species have been identified on summer mothing nights at Treraven; 68 in a single night in 2014. , and we are yet to assemble a list of butterflies at the site. So far, we are yet to assemble a list of butterflies at the site and even less attention has been paid to surveying other types of insects, though ground-dwelling beetles have been surveyed as part of a student ecology dissertation.
Old native woodland Mostly on steep slopes on the edge of a stream and estuary, these are a mixture of beech, ash and oak, with an understorey of hawthorn, gorse, holly and brambles. Bluebells, wood anemones and wild garlic brighten the woodland floor in the spring and early summer.
Farmland and meadows Treraven is subject to a Higher Level Stewardship Scheme. The majority of the land within the scheme is managed by low intensity cattle grazing with low inputs. Facilitating public access and education are also key elements. | eng | e712e435-edc1-40a8-bced-1d7c4b3e202c | http://www.gaiatrust.org.uk/treraven-wildlife1.html |
Impacts of Cultural Capital and Economic Capital on Student College Choice Process in China

Abstract
The world economy is changing, as knowledge becomes the key source of development. Knowledge is getting more important, and so is higher education. At a time in which higher education has never been more meaningful to the individual and society, providing access to higher education regardless of a family's socioeconomic status has become a primary concern in many countries.
Bourdieu's cultural capital theory posits that cultural capital is the property that middle and upper class families transmit to their offspring, which supplements the transmission of economic capital as a means of maintaining class status and privileges across generations. Extensive empirical research has supported cultural capital theory by demonstrating the significant role that cultural knowledge and family values play on educational attainment and the consequent economic and social status. In higher education, college access research has also shown that students' college choice is largely dependent on a family's cultural capital and financial ability to pay. Drawing on cultural capital theory, this study aims at analyzing how students' college choice process varies by social class in China. By exploring different cultural and financial factors that influence different stages of students' college choice process, this study hopes to
contribute to identifying the most appropriate policies and practices for raising the representation of students from the lowest social class among college participants. | eng | 72c4459d-5c04-4ee2-8d39-87247278095f | https://drum.lib.umd.edu/handle/1903/8187 |

Women in Ministry
Category
Specific Sin Issues
Tags
Women in ministry is a highly debated and controversial topic in our society today. Highview Baptist Church holds to a complementarian view. Compiled are verses that egalitarians, the opposing view of complementarians, will use in support of their view.
Before you delve in to what the Word of God says about this topic, these are definitions of these two opposing views.
Definitions
Egalitarianism: Equality of men and women without distinction in roles.
Complementarianism: Equality of men and women with distinction in roles.
**These definitions may vary in extent in practice.
A Warning
In the case that you find yourself debating about this topic in evangelism, this is not necessarily helpful or a hill worth dying on. With our culture, this will be a wall we have to overcome in evangelism because it'll be an opposition to what we believe, but the only hill worth dying on is the gospel, not these second tier issues.
Passages that explicitly speak about women's roles in ministry:
1 Timothy 2:12
Context
This verse is Paul's apostolic instructions to the church for the ordering of church practice when the church is assembled together.
Explanation
This verse teaches two points:
Women are not permitted to publicly teach Scripture and/our Christian doctrine to men in church.
Women are not permitted to exercise authority over men in church.
When Paul calls for women to be quiet, he means "quiet" with respect to the teaching responsibility that is limited in the assembled church. We can verify this because Paul elsewhere indicates that women do speak in other ways in the church assembly. ( See 1 Corinthians 11:5)
What grounds this passage of teaching is verse 13 in the creation order. It's not a result of the fall. This pattern of male headship, leadership, and teaching; it was already the standard that was ordained at creation. This isn't a new idea and is not just something that was spoken specifically to Timothy. This is a creation mandate which is universal and binding upon all people without distinction.
1 Timothy 3:1-7
Context
This passage is the qualifications of an overseer.
Explanation
In this passage, we see the character of one who should hold this office. One of the first ones mentioned being a "husband to one wife". Although this trait is referring to an overseer's faithfulness, Paul assumes that the overseer is a man. It is sin that a woman would be married to a woman, so we know that he would not be talking about a woman here. This is backed up throughout the rest of Paul's theology.
1 Corinthians 11:2-16
Context
Paul is addressing different groups within the church context of how they can faithfully follow Christ and love one another.
Explanation
When looking at this text, we don't look at the actions it is prescribing, but the principle that it is describing within the actions. The principle in this text is man is distinct from woman, which again finds its origin in creation. The manifestation is found in culture which enables subjectivity to display the principle. Still, the principle is applied in the context of the culture that there is a distinction between man and woman.
1 Corinthians 14:33-35
Context
The immediate context is verse 29, Paul is speaking about the judging of prophecies.
Explanation
Since Paul seems to permit wives to pray and prophesy (See 1 Cor. 11:5), as long as they do not dishonor their husbands by the way they dress, it is difficult to see this as an absolute prohibition. Paul is likely forbidding women to speak up and judge prophecies, since such an activity would subvert male headship.
"Law also says" in verse 34 is speaking of the woman's creation "from" and "for" the man (See Gen. 2:20-24), as well as a general pattern of male leadership among the people of Israel in the Old Testament.
Titus 1:5-9
Context
This passage is similar to 1 Timothy 3 as this passage includes qualifications. But instead of qualifications for an overseer, these are qualifications of an elder.
Explanation
Again, we see Paul's reference to the elder as a man, and from that we assume that he is not speaking of an elder as a woman.
Matthew 10:2-4
Context
Included in these verses is a list of the 12 Apostles.
Explanation
All of the 12 apostles listed are all men. We see other followers of Jesus who were women, and would be considered disciples, but they were not his apostles (whom he gave authority to teach).
Passages that the opposing argument (egalitarians) will use:
Genesis 3:16-17
Egalitarian Argument
The opposing view will use this text to argue that role subordination is a consequence to the fall; therefore, gender roles or hierarchy within the relationships between man and women were not the intended design.
Complementarian Argument
We would refute this by going to Genesis 2:20-24, which teaches that gender roles and a hierarchy were already instituted before the fall; therefore, it is not a consequence of sin, but God's original intention.
Judges 4-5
Egalitarian Argument
The opposing view will use this text to argue that Deborah is seen as a prophetess and a judge of Israel operating as a speaker and a leader for the people of Israel. Therefore, it is appropriate for women to speak and lead in the church.
Complementarian Argument
We would refute this by recognizing that in the context of Judges, this was an unfaithful time of Israel to the Lord. Therefore, many things that the judges were doing are not necessarily ideal for a leader or speaker of Israel (descriptive revelation - chapters 4-5 are describing a time, it is not prescribing what to do. The time it is describing is in effect of Israel's disobedience. It's not because they're obeying and doing the right things.)
We would also say that Deborah refuses to individually lead Israel and requests/summons the assistance of Barak, indicating she should not be solely leading Israel. Then, Barak shamefully refuses to lead Israel into battle. Deborah acknowledging his cowardness & unfaithfulness, tells him that he will not be honored when they achieve victory because the Lord has given the enemy into the hands of a woman. Therefore, indicating that the model leader should be a man.
Proverbs 31
Egalitarian Argument
The opposing view will use this text to argue that we have a woman that is working, providing, and caring for her home. Therefore, she has authority in her home.
Complementarian Argument
We would refute this by saying that the error of the opposing side is assuming to much about working, providing, and caring for a home. Complementarianism has nothing against a woman working and obtaining money to care for the home.
Women at the Tomb narratives at the end of the gospels
Egalitarian Argument
The opposing view will use these texts to argue that women are seen as communicating and proclaiming the gospel to others. Therefore, they can be seen as teachers of the word.
Complementarian Argument
We would refute this by saying the context of the women proclaiming the gospel is not within the context of the local church and it is not necessarily teaching. At best, they appear to be sharing a gospel message. The only thing this text promotes is that God will use women to share the gospel and that women have a responsibility of making disciples, as is commanded in the Great Commission.
Acts 18
Egalitarian Argument
The opposing view will use this text to argue that Priscilla (Aquilla's wife) is involved in teaching the Scriptures.
Complementarian Argument
We would refute this by saying that, once again, this is assuming too much. One, she is not in the context of a local church. Two, at best, she is evangelizing, not teaching, or preaching. And three, she is doing it with her husband.
Acts 16
First, here's some context. Lydia, a seller of purple goods (inferring she is wealthy), is converted (v. 14) and then they gather in Lydia's house (v. 40). When we reach the book of Philippians, Paul writes his final greetings to the church, mentioning the gifts they have given him. He mentions that he has received everything he needs, in abundance and more. This infers that Lydia, by her profits, is facilitating a local church and supporting Paul's ministry.
Egalitarian Argument
The opposing view will use this text to argue that Lydia, being a supporter and provider for Paul's ministry and a facilitator of a local church, is an authoritative figure within the local church.
Complementarian Argument
We would refute this by saying yes, Lydia is a provider and facilitator for the local church and Paul's ministry, but all that this concludes is that she is serving and using her economic welfare to support the ministry of the church. Also, there are men in the church, as we know from Acts 16, therefore, it is likely considering 1 Tim. 2 and 1 Cor. 14, that they are leading and teaching while Lydia is serving in the church.
Galatians 3:28
Egalitarian Argument
The opposing view will take this verse to mean that Paul is eliminating roles and a hierarchy within the church and marriage since, in this verse, there is no distinction between man and woman, but all is one within Christ Jesus.
Complementarian Argument
We would refute this affirming that there is no distinction between man and woman in this verse; however, the topic is not gender roles or hierarchy in marriage of the church. The topic is an inheritance as a son or daughter of Christ. This text is in reference to salvation and who receives it, not how men and women relate to each other once again in church or in marriage. Paul is breaking down all gender, racial, and vocational barriers for believing the gospel.
Final Thoughts
There is nothing in the verses that the opposing arguments will use that is explicit about women in ministry or women roles. There are, however, verses that explicitly instruct how women should be involved in ministry (which we looked at first). We also recognize that this goes directly against our flesh. We can see this issue as being a result of the fall (see Genesis 3:16). But God's intention for women are rooted in creation. Ultimately, we have to recognize what God's word teaches and be willing to submit to it as authoritative and without flaw, even when we or our society don't agree with it. There will always be issues within a society that go against the teachings of Scripture, but as believers, we must hold fast and submit to God's infallible Word. | eng | 89901f30-3868-47d1-9f73-05e157a11ff2 | https://highview.org/discipleship/resources/women-in-ministry |
What's Polygon (MATIC)? Polygon Community & MATIC Token Defined
BitPay lately introduced our help for Polygon (MATIC), providing you with the power to purchase, retailer, swap and spend much more cryptocurrencies. For these new to Polygon (MATIC), we've created this information to assist perceive what Polygon (MATIC) is, the way it works, easy methods to use it and different widespread questions.

The meat section of the grocery store is the first place to check if you're looking for where to find Prime ribs. Some stores like Whole Foods Market have in-house butchers, so you can check for freshly cut prime ribs there.
But Prime ribs aren't always labeled as Prime meat. Some stores mark them with "Beef-Bone-in-Rib-Roast" or "Standing roast ribs." To learn more about Prime ribs and stores where you can find them, keep reading this post.
Where can you find Prime ribs inside the grocery store?
The first place to check is the meat section. This is where pre-cut and packaged meat is. You'll also find other types of meat there like chicken and pork. Another section you should check is the Butchers. Not all grocery stores have them, but it's the section to visit if you need your meat cut right in front of you.
If you don't find Prime ribs in the grocery store, it's most likely due to the following reasons:
You're looking out for the name "Prime ribs". Prime ribs are also called "Beef-Bone-in-Rib-Roast" or "Standing roast ribs" in the grocery store. So lookout for those.
The store doesn't have it. Prime ribs are the highest meat grades, meaning that they have the best quality for cooking. Because of this, customers place high demands on it. That's why it's so expensive. You'll have better chances of finding it in a high-end hotel or restaurant.
How do you shop for prime rib?
Shopping for Prime rib is easy. In our previous post on grocery stores with the best steaks, we discussed some of the tell signs of good meat. Before shopping for Prime ribs at the grocery store, decide on the size you want.
Typically, a whole Prime rib comprises six or seven bones and weighs between 16 to 20 pounds. This size can serve up to 14 people. One trick to determine how many ribs you'd need is to reserve one rib for two people. So if you're cooking for four people, you'll need two Prime ribs.
The next thing is to observe the meat at the store. Look at the color. If it's red, it should tell you that it's fresh. If it's a pale shade and has a foul odor, then it's a sign that the meat has stayed out for too long. Avoid buying such beef, especially if you want your dish to taste nice.
Then look out for marbling and connective tissues. Marbling refers to those white specks on the meat, and the tissues are the white fibrous tissues surrounding the meat. If the meat has plenty of both, you should avoid it. Too many connective tissues make the meat tough, so you're going to spend a long time cooking it. Meat with a fair amount of them is ideal. Not only will it taste good, but it'll take a shorter time to cook.
On the other hand, too much marbling can be dangerous for your health. Marbling in meat is unsaturated fat. High intake of such fat can raise your blood cholesterol and cause heart disease.
Most importantly, ask the butcher or store employee what grade the meat is. Most grocery stores sell Choice meat because Prime beef is expensive. In the following section, we'll explain the difference.
Prime or Choice: What's the Difference?
Prime meat is the highest grade of meat, and it's gotten from young cattle. As a result, it has just the right amount of marbling, making it suitable for dry heating, boiling, roasting, or grilling.
Meanwhile, Choice meat is the next meat grade or quality after Prime. It has less marbling than Prime beef, but you can still boil, roast or grill it. Other meat grades include:
Select
Standard
Commercial
Utility
Cutter
Canner
These are the lower meat grades, and we wouldn't recommend shopping for them. Overall, look out for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) shields on meat packaging. This should tell you if the Prime ribs you want to buy are authentic.
Grocery stores that sell Prime ribs
Amazon
You might be skeptical about purchasing meat online, but Amazon has positive reviews in that aspect. The e-commerce giant sells fresh USDA Prime ribs, which you can order from the comfort of your home. The bones have been removed and tied together for you in the package. It's also shipped with ice to prevent spoilage and retain freshness.
Sam's Club
Sam's Club sells Prime ribs, but it's a membership-only warehouse. So you'll need to purchase a plan to shop there. The store no longer offers the 90-day free trial with all-access to products for new customers. So you can't buy Prime ribs from the store without membership.
Costco
Like Sam's Club, Costco is a membership-only warehouse. So you'll need to purchase a plan to buy Prime ribs. Fortunately, Costco also allows you to shop without a membership. But there would be a 5% surcharge for you on the prices posted for their members.
Whole Foods Market
Whole Foods Market is the most popular grocery store, in terms of organic and natural quality. So if you're conscious of your health, you should shop there. Unfortunately, the store doesn't do deliveries, so you'd have to buy the Prime ribs in-store.
Safeway
Safeway sells USDA Prime ribs, and they're available for delivery and curbside pickup. If you look at the store's website, you'd also find great recipes for cooking your Prime ribs.
Trader Joe's
Trader Joe's sells Prime ribs. But like Whole Foods Market, the store doesn't do deliveries. So if you want them delivered to you, you'd have to use a third-party grocery delivery service like Instacart or Shipt.
Kroger
Kroger sells deboned Prime ribs at affordable prices. Currently, they're not available for home delivery. Still, you can use the website's store locator to find a Kroger store near you that sells it.
Conclusion
Now, you know where to find Prime ribs at the grocery store. Remember that not all meat that carries the Prime label is Prime meat. Most grocery stores carry Choice meat and label it as Prime. So ensure to check out for the signs we've aforementioned.
Also, make a price comparison before buying the meat. Prime rib prices vary across stores. But the average cost of full Prime ribs is around $400. So if you get it for prices around $199 or $200, then it's a Choice grade. Stores like Aldi may sell Prime ribs as part of the SpecialBuys items. But because of the store's low price margin, you can tell that it isn't authentic Prime ribs.
We hope this post helps you find and select quality Prime ribs at the grocery | eng | 9275ce2f-8d1f-4958-80fe-0dcb494c983b | https://grocerycorridor.com/where-to-find-prime-ribs-at-the-grocery-store/ |
The day King Charles III visited an OCL Bay Boat
On the Coronation Day for King Charles III in London it seemed appropriate to remember the occasion just over 53 years ago when he visited one of the first OCL Bay Boats, the Encounter-class Discovery Bay.
From the left: Captain Brian Hinderwell, 2ON Joe Welch, King Charles, 2ON Colin Johnstone and A S Mayne, OCAL Director for Victoria (photographer not known but image thought to be a company publicity photograph).
From late March to early May 1970 Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip, Charles and Princess Anne were making an extensive tour of Australia in connection with the bi-centenary of Captain James Cook. In 1770 the British explorer, then a Navy Lieutenant had charted the east coast of Australia and claimed the eastern seaboard of the continent for the British Crown.
On Sunday 5 April the Royal party on board HMY Britannia arrived in Melbourne, the capital city of Victoria.
During the four-day visit to Melbourne, King Charles (then the Prince of Wales) visited the OCL container ship Discovery Bay. She was then one of only a handful of purposed built container ships plying their trade around the globe, so this was an opportunity for him to see one of these new vessels up close.
In the photograph on the left, King Charles is seen talking to the Discovery Bay's master, Captain Brian Hinderwell and 2ONs Colin Johnstone and Joe Welch. Joe has kindly provided us with a number of photographs and the following recollections of the day:
"On my first voyage on the Discovery Bay the ship happened to be in Melbourne with the Royal Yacht Britannia when the Queen was doing one of her Royal Tours of Australia. HRH Prince Charles expressed a wish to see for himself one of the new container ships and a visit was arranged for him. Prince Charles was about to start on his career in the Royal Navy and was interested in the new container revolution.
"Captain Hinderwell showed Prince Charles around the ship and as Second Officer my job was to show him around the deck to see how the containers were loaded. At that time I had a full beard. The workings of the cell guide 'flip flops' were demonstrated but the loud bangs which they made startled the hidden security men who dashed out from behind containers thinking HRH was in danger. The Australian wharfie driving the crane was so overcome by it all he could not latch on to the OCL container - so a new one was sent for, but this container belonged to our competitors 'ACT' - Red faces all round. Later HRH called in for a drink in the Officers' Wardroom and I got him to sign the Visitors' Book."
The signature in the Discovery Bay's Officers' visitor book.
Out on deck, watching containers being loaded.
An article on the visit written by the Captain B N Hinderwell (reproduced below)
"PRINCE CHARLES WANTS TO MAKE ANOTHER VISIT - BY CAPTAIN B. N. HINDERWELL
"It was only with passing interest that we originally heard of Prince Charles' request to visit one of the Bay class vessels. But after a period of delays it became more certain that Discovery Bay would chalk up another first for OCL and CFL.
"The visit was finally made definite on our arrival in Melbourne, and a meeting was arranged with Mr. Stan Mayne, OCAL Executive Director, to discuss a plan of action.
"Owing to the limited time allowed for the visit, a total of 25 minutes, everything had to be timed to the second, so that afternoon the terminal stop-watch was brought into use when a small party could be seen panting up and down gangways and interior staircases. For all those who arrived out of breath at 'A' deck or the Bridge, the time allowed from the gangway to the bridge was two minutes flat. From these activities developed the final itinerary.
"PREPARATIONS
"Over the weekend preparations were put in hand to have Discovery Bay at her best, with everyone playing some part in this activity, even if some ideas were cribbed from the Queen's Coxswain, Royal Barge.
"A break was called just before noon on Sunday to watch the passage of the Royal Yacht Britannia, carrying the Royal Family, pass up the River Yarra. The Royal Family showed much interest in the ship and waved enthusiastically.
"It was afterwards learnt from Prince Charles that they could not understand why the containers did not fall off in heavy weather. We sometimes wonder ourselves!
"The day of the visit, 6 April, arrived, a day we will long remember, and final preparations were completed in time for all and sundry to obtain a 'wash and brush up'.
"Security police arrived by the dozen, together with the Press, and we all awaited the arrival of the Royal Barge and His Royal Highness.
"Right on the scheduled time the Royal Barge swept round our stern and, with beautiful precision, moored to the Harbour Board pontoon. Prince Charles disembarked and was met by Mr. Mayne and Captain Ross, Melbourne Harbour-Master.
"On behalf of the ship I met his Royal Highness at the gangway head and we then climbed to the Bridge, myself trying to answer questions without getting winded. Perhaps I should take up polo during my long leave. The three Senior Officers were introduced, and the ship's Visitors Books signed.
"Cargo operations were explained from the Bridge wing, a keen interest being taken by our Royal Visitor. Safety helmets were then issued before descending to the main deck to watch the loading progressing.
"Arriving at the bays being worked, a glance at my watch indicated that we were still keeping time, but at this stage a slight technical hitch occurred ashore which lost precious seconds. While our party awaited for the arrival of the containers to be leaded, the operation of the flip-flops was demonstrated, to the alarm of the security officers who, I am sure thought something dreadful was happening to their Royal
charge. Eventually the two containers swung into sight but by some oversight (?) they were both ACT boxes.
"As they swung towards where we were standing, Prince Charles did raise the hope that the Portainer driver was not an anti-royalist!
"As time was running out, we had to head back to the gangway. In passing our two bearded Second Officers (N) Prince Charles asked if it was necessary to have a beard before being employed 2.O (N).
"FAREWELLS
"Farewells were made at the gangway, and during his descent our visitor noticed Mesdames Evans and Anderson, the two wives being carried, and stopped to have a chat with them.
"Unfortunately the bulwark prevented the chance of a curtsey being seen, which was a disappointment, especially after the practice they had put in.
"The post mortem was held over R and R drinks in my cabin, and all felt it had been a worthwhile experience and honour, especially as Prince Charles had requested the chance to visit one of those vessels at greater length when we eventually berth in Tilbury.
"Our only regret was that owing to the shortness of the visit, very few of the ship's company could meet our Royal Visitor."
With thanks also to David Burrett who was 2OC on the Discovery Bay at the time of the King's visit. It was David's recent comment about the day under a post about Captain Hinderwell on OCL Bay Boats (the ex-sea staff Facebook group) which prompted this article | eng | 5171deba-c31e-464f-8668-5c24077c9da9 | https://www.ponlheritage.com/staying-in-touch/memories/king-charles-visited-ocl-bay-boat |

After fetching a webpage we begin looking for artifacts that were left behind by the underlying systems.
In HTML, we looks for things like <meta name="generator"> tags and common paths for images.
We inspect for custom headers and common session names.
In all, we check every page for thousands of possible artifacts before returning the results. | eng | 1f5e91f8-4b8a-45d1-a64b-2d4140324441 | https://whatcms.org/ |
First step in determining which ratio is bigger will be of taking LCMs of both the sides. Here the LCM of both the1/1000 denotes one out of the absolute 1000 units that are being taken into account, while 1:1000 refers to 1 out of every 1000 units analyzed, which can be 1,000,000 units also.
Ratios ":" are meant to relate two things, while "/" is used for a fraction or division.
The query related to the pronunciation of 1/1000 and 1: 1000 will be solved here. All you need to do is stick till the end.
How do I say 1/1000?
1/1000 is said as 1 by 1000, or 0.1 percent. It is 1, which is in the numerator, divided by 1000, which is in the denominator.
According to the mathematics rule, the answer after division is 0.1. It is denoted as 0.1 % as 1/100 is 1 percent and 1/1000 becomes 0.1%. An analogy is used between both values to create a relationship.
For example, if we take 1 in 4, it equals 25%. One to four equals one in five, or 20%. They cannot be used interchangeably.
Illustration of 1/1000 and 1:1000
Here is an illustration to get a better understanding:
Let's suppose we have a large organization that employs thousands of employees.
Now, shall we think that 1/1000 of these employees are female? According to this method, if you were to take a thousand people from this institution, you will get exactly 1 Female and 999 males, in context to the mathematical logic.
On the other hand, let's consider that this institution has a ratio of 1:1000 of adult females to men.
This way, for every 1:1000 equals to 1001 people you're taking from the group, you'll get exactly 1 female and a thousand men.
This is the distinction between 1/1000 of the employees being adult females and 1/1000 of the staff comprising of adult males.
I hope these examples give you a clear idea about fractions and ratios such as 1/1000 and 1:1000 respectively.
Understand fractions better by taking a look at these oranges.
Are 1/1000 and 1:1000 interchangeable?
1/1000 and 1:1000 are not the same. They cannot be interchanged and they cannot substitute their values as well.
1/1000 means (one by thousandth, that when represented in decimal form is 0.001, while 1:1000 represents a ratio of 2 numbers which is no longer necessary in a fractional shape.
Are 1:1000 and 1/1000 pronounced differently?
Yes. Both the values have different pronunciations. 1/1000 is spoken as one over one-thousandth), it is a fraction. While 1:1000 is spoken as 1 to a thousand.
Is there any difference between 1:1000 and 1/1000?
They are slightly different from each other. Here's an example that will demonstrate the picture more clearly.
Take the primary ratio; 1:1000. This way that one is 1/1000 for each thousand. You may also have seen that many universities have their faculty-pupil ratio like 1:8. This means that there's one school for each eight college students in that university.
Now take the other fraction 1/1000, it hits me that 1 is a part of one thousand.
For example, we take an American. He is one of the people among the 329.5million people in America. And we will use it for probability functions also. If there are one thousand students in a school. The possibility of finding the Topper is 1/1000 considering only one could be the topper. Now, this one member is also certainly one of those 1000 students.
For me, this example worked wonders. It solved all the queries I had in my head.
Here's a simplified look at decimals and place values
Is "1:1000" a ratio?
1:1000 is considered as a ratio. It is spoken as 1 ratio thousand. The colon sign ": " symbolizes ratio.
A ratio may be used to explain a numerical relation between things. It compares two quantities that are having the same unit e.g. a:b is a/b as well but only if they have the same units. For example, in a 50:50 ratio manner, the two matters are equal in length. When simplified, you will get the answer, 1:1. This means both the matters are the same and hence have the same ratio.
Ratios are used together with proportions.
Before symbolic algebra was invented approximately 500 years ago, plenty of mathematics changed phrases of ratios and proportions as an alternative than in terms of equations. A facility with proportions was vital, however, it is not necessary.
For instance, you knew A:B:C:D (a study that as A is to B as C is to D), then you definitely would routinely recognize that (A+B):B::(C+D):D and A:(A+B)::C:(C+D) (known as ratios taken at the same time). There simply isn't a difference between "numerators" and "denominators" while you're talking about ratios.
These are some of the amazing examples to define ratios in a detailed manner.
I hope we are familiar with the concept of 1:1000 and how it's a ratio.

How do you spell 1/1000 and 1:1000?
Zero point one percent "0.1% for 1:1000 and one to one-thousandth or 0.0001 for 1/1000 is the right way to spell them. Apart from this, there are some other ways of spelling them.
Such as,
one thousandth for 1/1000
One-one thousand (1/1000)
1 out of thousand (1/1000)
1 to 1 thousand (1:1000)
Per thousand or One per thousand
Point one percent for 1:1000 or 0.1%
Hence, these are some of the most convenient and authentic ways to pronounce these words.
Can ratios express strengths?
Yes. Ratios are a method to express the strengths of the preparation of a liquid or any solution while experimenting.
For example when a sodium chloride solution is prepared in a laboratory , 1:1000 refers to 1g of sodium chloride in 1000ml of a solution.
In other words, if 0.1 percent concentrated NaCl solution is required, we will take 1g of NaCl and dissolve that to 1000ml of solution. This can also be represented as 1:1000. In both cases, ratios are the same while concentration is determined through percentage.
Similarly, epinephrine strength is sometimes measured in 1:1000. It represents 1g of epinephrine in 1000ml of a solution. Thus units are defined as 1g/ml.
So, 1:1000 and 1/1000 are different in pronunciation as well as in terms of solutions . One is a ratio while the other falls under the category of a fraction.
The first step in determining which ratio is bigger will be of taking LCMs of both sides. Here the LCM of bothIs 1000 and 1:1000 whole numbers?
There's no lie that 1000 is a whole number. A whole number is one that is without any decimals or fractions. As you can see the number 1000 is without any such component. Therefore, the final verdict is that it is a whole number. However, the same cannot be said about 1:1000.
Ratios can't be identified as whole numbers even though they are made up of them. They will only be pronounced as whole numbers when they are simplified and there is no remainder left behind.
For instance, 30:6 is not a whole number. However, once simplified we are only left with 5. This 5 is a whole number.
Final Thoughts
In conclusion, 1:1000 is a ratio while 1/1000 is a fraction. They are not interchangeable unless expressed in the same units. They differ in pronunciation, answers, representation, and expressions. Their use has a little bit of contrast as well.
To summarize it, ratios compare two numerical entities while fraction defines the part of an entity out of the other.
1:1000 refers to one to one thousand while 1/1000 shows that 1 in a thousand. 0.1% is expressed as 1:1000. In contrast to that, 1/1000 gives a simplified answer i.e. 0.001.
Mathematical rules and expressions are better understood with examples and scenario-based illustrations. Therefore to make you have a better idea about fractions and ratios, illustrations are provided in the article.
Thus, slight differences also account for drastic variations. To avoid any inaccurate usage of certain expressions, we must have an understanding of the topic to gain an advantage in terms of knowledge and perception. For mathematics, the process is long and hefty, but one that is important.

The air filter is considered a crucial part of any HVAC system, as it keeps the air clean and free of contaminants. Different types and sizes of air filters are available on the market, each designed to suit a specific need.
Pleated Air Filters
Air filters keep our homes and workplaces clean and free of airborne contaminants. Pleated air filters are one type of air filter that can be used to help achieve this.
Pleated air filters are designed to capture more particles than traditional flat air filters, making them the perfect choice who want to improve the air quality in their home or office.
Pleated air filters are available in various sizes and can be custom fit to your specific needs. Everyone has different choices and needs when it comes to air filters. That's why there is a range of custom air filters options so that you can find the perfect fit for your home.
Cons
Pleated air filters may not be as effective as traditional flat air filters at capturing very small particles.
Non-Pleated Air Filters
Non-pleated air filters do not have any folds or creases in them. These filters typically have a lower initial pressure drop and higher dust holding capacity than pleated air filters. They are also less likely to cause airflow problems due to their lack of pleats.
Cons
Non-pleated air filters can be more difficult to install than pleated air filters.
They also have a shorter lifespan and need to be replaced more often.
They are not as effective at trapping small particles as pleated air filters.
Spun Glass Air Filters
Spun glass air filters are a type of HEPA filter that can remove 99.97% of airborne particles that are 0.3 microns in size or larger. These filters are often used in clean rooms and other environments where airborne contaminants must be removed.
Cons
One downside of spun glass air filters is that they can be more expensive than other HEPA filters.
These may need to be replaced more often than other types of filters.
Media Air Filters
Media air filters are designed to remove particulates from the airstream to protect sensitive electronic equipment. There are a variety of media air filters available on the market, each with its advantages and disadvantages. The most common types of media air filters are activated carbon filters, ionic filters, and mechanical filters.
Activated carbon filters are the most effective at removing particulates from the airstream. However, they are also the most expensive and require regular replacement. Ionic filters are less expensive than activated carbon filters but are not as effective at removing particulates. Mechanical filters are the less expensive type of filter but are also the least effective at removing particulates.
Cons
They can be expensive, and they require regular replacement.
They are not as effective at removing particulates as other air filters.
Media air filters can restrict airflow, leading to HVAC system problems | eng | 8e2f523b-ae8e-48a6-8eb7-5f7b545164fb | https://tricitypropertysearches.com/most-common-types-of-air-filters/ |
Advocating
As a foster parent, you will care for children who may require special services like therapy. At first, they may be behind schedule with their regular checkups. Therefore, you will need to ensure that you are connecting the children with all the services they need.
Communicating
If the child you are caring for is in school, it is essential to have good communication with the child's teachers and other staff at the school. Further, the child may not have had a concerned adult making inquiry into school matters in the past. You will want to let the school know that you are interested in the child's education and helping him/her to succeed.
Listening
As a stranger, and depending on the age of the child, it may take some time for you to build rapport. Don't get discouraged. In fact, one of the best things you can do is to be a good listener. Allow the child to tell you about his/her day, friends, things he/she finds important. If the child is not yet talking age, take care to spend quality time with him/her.
Enriching
If the child is already involved in activities like sports or gymnastics, try to continue their participation to facilitate continuity. However, if the child is not engaged in any activities, find out what he/she is interested in and look for efforts that can enhance their being.
Educating
Although you may have parented your own biological children, continue to educate yourself about issues that may be specific to foster youth.
Supporting
Foster parenting can be hard work. Take advantage of avenues of support for yourself as a parent, whether family and/or foster resource groups. They can be invaluable sources of assistance and information.

Stormy Seas Ahead
(Written by Jagresta)
I've never really considered myself much of an artist, but I definitely consider myself an emotional person.
I'm the type who wears their emotions on their sleeves and apparently, I wear them all over my artwork too.
I only started painting a couple of years ago. I'm more of a singer and musician, but I needed to pick a major that I could complete in the two years left at Auburn that I had.
I've always struggled with figuring out where I am and where I'm going. Sometimes I feel lost at sea, but as many people say, it is not always the destination, it's the journey.
I feel like this painting may depict a lot of college kids' life (probably a lot of undeclared majors at least). You're halfway between being a kid and being an adult and no one you want to take you seriously even hears you talking and those who shouldn't ask you for that much responsibility yet almost insist upon it.
It can feel like you're drowning, enveloped in the waves as the current takes you away from your life before, when all you had to worry about was what time is dinner so you could stay outside and play with your friends a little longer.
Right in front of you are only giant waves that seem impossible to overcome, but if you can hold your head above water, you can see a horizon not so far off in the distance.
The journey of college and young adult life is vast and open, remember to embrace the moments and to never forget that there will always be someone waving at you from shore. | eng | 7547ee52-becd-4463-99a7-d99ef8495d44 | https://thewishdish.com/stormy-seas-ahead/ |
Managing a Small Business in Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe is a beautiful country with a vibrant economy, but it can also be challenging. There are many ways to start a small business in Zimbabwe, and this article will outline some of the most important ones that you should keep in mind as you plan your venture. Here are some tips on how to make your business thrive:
The best way to start a small business in Zimbabwe is to make sure it's profitable.
The best way to start a small business in Zimbabwe is to make sure it's profitable. This is easier said than done, but there are some basic steps you can follow that will help you get there.
Start by creating a plan B and making sure it works before moving on to step two: setting up your actual business. Be flexible when things don't go according to plan, take things slowly and pay attention to the details; don't be afraid to ask for help if anything seems too complicated or overwhelming!
Start with a plan B. If your business doesn't work out, you'll need one.
Have a backup plan: It's not always possible to predict what will happen in business and life. You might want to consider having a backup plan in case things don't go according to plan.
Be flexible: You may find that there are times when your plans change or fail completely–and that's okay! Being able to adapt quickly makes it easier for both yourself and those around you (like employees).
Ask for help: Don't be afraid of asking other people for help if needed; they might even have some ideas on how best forward with things!
Be prepared for the unexpected.
The unexpected is always possible, and it's important to be prepared for it. If you're not sure how to handle a situation or if something goes wrong, don't panic. Take a deep breath and think through your options before making any decisions.
Here are some examples of unexpected events that could happen:
Be flexible.
When you're managing a small business, it's important to be flexible. You can't know everything about your industry or market, so don't be afraid to change your plan or even change your mind about what you want for your business. You may need to adapt as circumstances change around you–and that's okay! Sometimes the best thing for a business is not what was originally intended; it might even be something entirely different from what was expected.
This is especially true when it comes down deciding whether or not now is the right time for expansion into new markets (or even just another location). If there isn't enough demand at home yet but there appears potential elsewhere then maybe now isn't quite right yet either… but maybe later?
Take things slowly.
Take your time to get things right. Don't rush into anything and don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
If you're not sure about something, change your mind!
Pay attention to the details.
When you're starting a business, you need to keep your eye on the details. The best way to do this is by doing your research before you begin. Make sure that the market is there for what you're selling and that there are enough customers who want it. You also need to find out what other businesses in your industry are doing and how they operate, so that you can figure out how yours will be different from theirs–and why people should choose yours over theirs!
Finally, make sure that every aspect of running your company has been thought through and planned out ahead of time; otherwise things could go wrong very quickly without warning. This means having contingency plans for any problems (and making sure employees know them), as well as knowing exactly how much money comes into each week/month/year so there aren't any surprises later down the line when bills come due but revenue isn't quite where expected
Don't be afraid to ask for help.
Don't be afraid to ask for help. If you're struggling with a problem, don't just sit there and think about it. Contact someone who has been through what you are going through and ask them how they did it. Don't be afraid of the person's credentials or experience level–you never know what kind of insight they might have!
There is no shame in asking someone else for their opinion on your business decisions or practices; even if their answer seems off base at first glance, there is always something useful that can be gained from hearing another perspective on things. If nothing else, getting feedback helps remind us how well we know ourselves (or don't).
You can survive in Zimbabwe if you pay attention to these tips
You can survive in Zimbabwe if you pay attention to these tips:
Be prepared for the unexpected. It's not easy, but it can be done. You just have to take things slowly and not be afraid to ask for help when needed!
Conclusion
If you want to survive in Zimbabwe and make a profit, there are some things that you need to keep in mind. First of all, make sure your business is profitable. You can't just start up an organization without knowing what it costs and how much money it will bring in at the end of every month. Secondly, plan for failure by having backup plans ready if things don't go according to plan; this way if something unexpected happens then at least there's something else besides bankruptcy looming ahead! Finally, take things slowly because rushing through projects or decisions will only lead towards disaster down the road when everything comes crashing down around us… | eng | 66e26a29-c6c7-4c73-a206-d88bcbe8cadc | https://tremhost.com/blog/managing-a-small-business-in-zimbabwe/ |

things to know before Moving to
NEW YORK CITY
10
10
The neighborhood matters more than you think
Your budget will afford you drastically different living arrangements based on the neighborhood you choose. It can be really eye-opening. For example, $3,000 will get you a decent one-bedroom in the Upper West Side and questionable living quarters (at best) in SoHo.

Searching for an apartment in New York City is a bear
Finding an apartment in any city feels like a daunting task, but NYC takes the cake. Competition is steep and prices are sky high. The process can take weeks, sometimes even months. It's extremely important to be on top of the process and if you like an apartment submit your application ASAP- don't take time to "think about it"
8
You must (must, must) tour the apartment in person
Brokers sometimes use stock photos when posting rental apartment. Moral of the story — NEVER sign a lease sight unseen unless you like surprises…especially bad ones.
New York City is so damn expensive it will make you cry
6
Have a job lined up before you move here
Job competition is steep and people are going to burn through their savings faster than you can imagine.Living in New York City is the experience of a lifetime precisely because you have access to the best of everything. But you simply can't enjoy everything if you don't have a job and are constantly broke
5
Not all grocery stores are created equal
Here's a tip on moving to New York City that some people don't mention — not all grocery stores are created equal. Do your research! If you are on a budget, try shopping at Trader Joe's. Their prices are the same country wide, so it's less of a shock and you know what to expect.
4
You won't need a car when moving to NYC
The subway system is very efficient (even though everyone loves to hate on public transportation). The subway will get you where you need to go 24/7 and for the small cost of $2.75 per ride ($33 for a 7 day pass, $127 for monthly pass) the price can't be beat. Plus, some employers provide monthly subway passes.
3
You can find incredible food 24/7
New York City is a melting pot of different cultures which makes you privy to the best-of-the-best regarding all types of cuisine. The best part? It's not hard to find delicious food late into the evening.
2
It's normal to get depressed after moving to NYC
This might seem counterintuitive since a lot of folks that move to NYC do so to pursue a dream, but it's true (and it makes sense when you think about it). Moving to NYC is a huge life change. There's no other city in the world quite like it, and there's a lot of anxiety that comes with the territory.
1
If you hate living in NYC, don't feel pressured to stay
You are not a tree. You don't have roots, you can move around. If you find that living to New York City doesn't jive with your vibe as expected, give yourself some grace. The city is not for everyone and some folks discover that only after moving to NYC. | eng | be2fc221-466f-48f9-a61f-87d01aea958a | https://newyorksimply.com/web-stories/moving-to-new-york-city-10-things-to-know/ |
Yuvraj Sidam, 14, is unmistakably bold. The Class 10 student from picturesque Dewala village in Chandrapur district's Pongorna block recently turned heads as he decided to work towards de-stigmatising menstruation and promoting menstrual hygiene. Located on the eastern edge of Maharashtra in Nagpur division, Chandrapur lies in the Vidarbha region and in such a rural set-up, it's quite unusual for teenage boys to address gender issues, especially sensitive, 'embarrassing' subjects like menstruation. Sidam, however, isn't hesitant to speak up – and his confidence and sensitivity are courtesy a progressive, inclusive Adolescent Life Skills programme, introduced by UNICEF and jointly implemented in schools across the region by Chandrapur Zilla Parishad and the Pune-based non-profit, Yashvant Rao Chauhan Academy for Development Administration (YASHADA).
As part of this intervention, select students of Class 8 and 9 from 100 schools in 15 blocks of the district have been trained to become peer educators, who, in turn, talk to their classmates on a wide range of issues with the help of creative tools and "exciting" activities.
With some guidance and hand-holding from an appointed 'prerika', or motivator, the teens are imparted useful information and equipped to take interactive sessions spanning an-hour-and-a-half every Saturday after class.
By participating in games, street plays, song-and-dance routines, painting exhibitions and poetry recitals students in local government schools have developed a seamless understanding of previously overlooked, complex social issues such as domestic violence, lack of sanitation, addiction, child marriage and discrimination, and they are not afraid to take a stand.
"When I started talking about menstrual hygiene in my village, the older women were alarmed. They shouted at me and asked if it was alright for boys to talk about such things. I clearly told them that menstruation was natural and that there was nothing good or bad about it," recalls Sidam, with a smile.
As the teenage boy frankly shares his point of view, Sunil Sherki, 46, his teacher and a trainer associated with the programme, looks on proudly. He is convinced that "good communicators" like Sidam, who educate and advocate on "subjects that are necessary in life", will surely bring about a much needed positive change. He elaborates, "It is remarkable to see how these young people have been able to connect these subjects to their homes and communities and have broken through societal barriers."
Sidam's classmate Sanjeevani Therkar is creating waves as well. In a rather unusual move, the duo joined forces to spread awareness on menstruation with the support of their 'prerika', Asha Bhadke.
Together they tirelessly worked to create a bunch of posters that drove home messages around the importance of menstrual hygiene. On her part, Therkar even intervened when her friend's parents decided to isolate their daughter from the family after she started menstruating. "I could not stay silent when my friend was going through such emotional and physical turmoil. They put her out of her own house. I spoke to her parents and told them to take her back in and ensure she was given proper food and fruits. It took me some time to convince them but I am glad I took some action. They realised their mistake and never sent out her out again," she narrates.
Of course, Therker is quick to point out that had she not been part of the Life Skills programme, things would be very different. She says, "The life skills education we got in school really changed things for all of us, especially our mindset. I'm really happy that we got to learn so much."
Bhadke concurs with the youngster's observation, "These children are our future leaders; they have blossomed so well with very little effort." Therkar's father, Kamal, a farmer, is immensely proud of his daughter, "She has not only become more knowledgeable, particularly about important problems being faced by our community, she is also more outgoing and outspoken. I know she can take on anything."
Pratima Therkar, 40, is another proud parent. Her son, Sangharsh, 16, a Class 10 student, was hand-picked to be a peer educator, an experience he cherishes dearly. "It was amazing to learn through games. I remember one time during the role playing exercise our topic was disability. To prepare for our play act, my team and I did research on the life of the differently-abled and we came to know of the various kinds of challenges they face. I would have never got sensitised had we not done this. Such creative ways to teach and learn can reap rich benefits for all students," remarks a beaming Sangharsh.
Today, the children can't stop talking about the advantages of the Life Skills programme.
However, as Sangharsh candidly puts it, "it took a long time for my classmates to take me seriously". What helped in keeping things going were the sustained sessions and the "surprisingly fun and innovative" activities. "Eventually, we didn't have to convince them to stay back after school; everyone began looking forward to participating wholeheartedly," he adds.
At the Zilla Parishad High School in Neemgaon village in the neighbouring Saoli block, Damini Lakde, 16, a differently-abled Class Ten student got inspired to kick her 'kharra' addiction after she sat through a few Life Skills sessions. 'Kharra', an addictive substance, is popular with adolescents and adults in the area. "When I saw a film on cancer, I was realised that I simply had to stop eating Kharra if I want to remain healthy. As it is, because we are poor people, we cannot afford treatment for cancer. Those days, nearly everyone I knew was consuming it so we all jointly pledged to stop. One added advantage of giving 'kharra' up is that we have more money saved up which we can utilise for something better later on," she shares.
"The main aim behind introducing this programme," according to Pramod Kalekar, UNICEF's Divisional Consultant, "was to enhance children's abilities. Adolescent Life Skills Education is an interactive process of teaching and learning that focuses on acquiring knowledge, attitude, values and skills. This enables children to take up greater responsibility in their lives and in society by making healthy life choices, gaining greater resistance and minimising harmful behaviours."
Clearly, for the nearly 20,000 adolescents in Chandrapur, who have had the opportunity to benefit from this approach, there is no going back. In fact, a short span of time, they have learnt to take a lead in their community, challenge age-old discriminatory attitudes, and prepare themselves to address concerns that have been considered ignored in the name of traditions for generations. Such a dramatic shift in the confidence levels of the students will certainly bring on a sea of change in this most backward area of the district | eng | ee759147-28c4-4682-bd05-010a9884a98a | https://www.thebetterindia.com/88992/menstruation-taboos-gender-issues/ |
What's St. Patricks Day Anyway?
St. Patrick's Day is a holiday that is celebrated around the world, but many people don't know the history behind the day. In this article, we'll explore the origins of St. Patrick's Day and how it became the holiday we know today.
St. Patrick's Day is named after Saint Patrick, a patron saint of Ireland. Saint Patrick was born in Britain in the 4th century, and at the age of 16, he was captured by Irish raiders and brought to Ireland as a slave. During his captivity, he became deeply religious and began to see himself as a missionary to the Irish people. After six years of slavery, he escaped and returned to Britain, but he later returned to Ireland as a Christian missionary.
Patrick spent the rest of his life spreading the Christian faith throughout Ireland. He is credited with using the shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to the Irish people. Legend has it that he also drove all the snakes out of Ireland, although this is unlikely since snakes never existed in Ireland in the first place.
St. Patrick died on March 17, 461 AD, and this day became his feast day. The day was first observed as a religious holiday in Ireland in the 9th or 10th century. It was a day of solemn religious observance, and it was not until much later that it became a more secular celebration.
The first St. Patrick's Day parade took place in New York City in 1762. The parade was organized by Irish soldiers who were serving in the British army, and it was a way for them to celebrate their Irish heritage while they were serving abroad. The parade grew in popularity over the years, and it is now the largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the world.
In Ireland, St. Patrick's Day was a public holiday, but it was not a day of celebration in the way that it is now. It was a day of religious observance, and the pubs and bars were closed. It wasn't until the 1970s that St. Patrick's Day became a national holiday in Ireland, and it was not until the 1990s that it became the kind of celebration that we see today.
The modern celebration of St. Patrick's Day is a time for people to celebrate Irish heritage and culture. It is celebrated with parades, parties, and other festivities. The color green is often associated with St. Patrick's Day, and people often wear green clothing and accessories.
One of the most iconic symbols of St. Patrick's Day is the shamrock. The shamrock is a three-leafed clover that is said to have been used by St. Patrick to explain the Holy Trinity. It is also said to represent Ireland, and it is a symbol of good luck.
Another important symbol of St. Patrick's Day is the leprechaun. Leprechauns are small, mischievous creatures that are said to be part of Irish folklore. They are often depicted as wearing green and gold, and they are said to be the guardians of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
While St. Patrick's Day is celebrated around the world, it is particularly popular in the United States. Many cities hold St. Patrick's Day parades and festivals, and people often gather with friends and family to celebrate the day. It is also a popular day for drinking, and many bars and restaurants serve green beer and other festive drinks.
Despite the popularity of St. Patrick's Day, there are some who criticize the holiday for perpetuating negative stereotypes of the Irish people. Some argue that the holiday has been commercialized and that it has lost its original meaning.
Despite these criticisms, St. Patrick's Day remains a beloved holiday for many people around the world. It is a day to celebrate Irish culture and heritage, to gather with loved ones, and to have some fun. And while the origins of the holiday may be rooted in religious observance, its modern incarnation is a testament to the resilience and enduring appeal of Irish culture.
In addition to the parades and parties, many people celebrate St. Patrick's Day by cooking traditional Irish food. Corned beef and cabbage, Irish soda bread, and shepherd's pie are all popular dishes that are often served on the holiday. Some people even make a traditional Irish breakfast, which typically includes bacon, sausage, eggs, and black and white pudding.
St. Patrick's Day is also a time to celebrate the contributions of Irish Americans. Millions of Americans are of Irish descent, and the holiday is an opportunity to honor their heritage and recognize the ways in which they have contributed to American society. Irish Americans have made significant contributions to fields such as politics, literature, music, and sports, and their influence can be seen in many aspects of American culture.
Despite its popularity, St. Patrick's Day is not without controversy. In recent years, some people have criticized the holiday for promoting binge drinking and other forms of excessive behavior. The holiday has also been criticized for perpetuating negative stereotypes of Irish people, such as the idea that they are all heavy drinkers and that they are prone to violence.
In response to these criticisms, some people have sought to reclaim the holiday and to promote a more positive and inclusive vision of Irish culture. They have emphasized the role of Irish Americans in American history and culture, and they have worked to counter negative stereotypes of Irish people.
As we celebrate St. Patrick's Day, let us remember the rich history and traditions that underpin this holiday. Let us honor the legacy of Saint Patrick, who dedicated his life to spreading the Christian faith in Ireland. And let us celebrate the contributions of Irish Americans, who have played a vital role in shaping American society and culture.
Above all, let us come together in a spirit of unity and celebration, to enjoy the festivities and to appreciate the richness and diversity of Irish culture. Whether we are Irish by birth, heritage, or simply by choice, let us raise a glass to the Emerald Isle and to all those who have contributed to its enduring legacy.

UF Offering Free Crisis Management Course to Schools
Findlay, Ohio – The University of Findlay (UF), through its All Hazards Training Center, offers a free, eight-hour course on crisis management to schools throughout the United States. Already presented more than 250 times in 42 states, "Crisis Management for School- Based Incidents" is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium.
"A major issue that does not receive enough attention across the US is school violence prevention. In every case, there is always available information that, if properly collected and analyzed, can prevent acts of school violence. This course contains information on how to do just that " says J. Randall VanDyne, assistant vice president and executive director of the Center.
"In light of the recent school shootings in Connecticut, we want to make sure schools know that this course is available to them," VanDyne adds. " While the course is available online, we usually offer it in a face-to-face venue so participants can interact directly with the instructor and other students."
"Crisis Management for School-Based Incidents: Partnering Rural Law Enforcement and the Local School Systems" is an awareness level training course designed to educate administrators and personnel responsible for school safety/security. It also addresses rural law enforcement's effective response to school-based emergencies.
Instructors address topics including:
• Incident Planning and Preparedness
• Proactive Threat Mitigation
• Vulnerability Assessments
• Threat Assessment Management
• Incident Response and Recovery
• Incident Defusing and Debriefing
• Parent Reunification
The school violence prevention portion of this course comes from a program called Threat Assessment Management, which was developed by the U.S. Secret Service and approved for use in schools by the U.S. Department of Education.
Work is being completed on a second course, "Crisis Management for School-Based Incidents for Key Decision Makers" which should be available this spring. The two-day program will provide the operational-level details to support many of the topics covered in the eight-hour awareness-level course.
For more information, or to schedule Crisis Management for School-Based Incidents, contact VanDyne at 419-434-4572 or visit

Why Are They Surprised?
The Financial Times reports that several market analysts now think that the fallout from bad mortgage debt will continue for some time and be much worse than they had expected. Given that these people are paid very high salaries to understand these markets, it would be worth asking why they apparently got this one so badly wrong. It would also be a very good story to report on the extent to which these high priced experts suffer any professional consequences as a result of such a costly mistake | eng | 9084c002-4f7f-4ee2-b7d7-fee4eea9e98a | https://prospect.org/economy/surprised/ |

Learning to Dad with Tyler Ross 022 - Curtiss Weinstein
Speaker 2: Welcome to learning [00:00:30] to dad. This is Tyler Ross. My guest today is Curtis Weinstein. Good to see your brother. Thanks for being here.
Speaker 3: Good to see you, man. Happy to be here. Thanks for having me on.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. I know that you got, uh, two boys that are, uh, you know, like high school, college age and,
Speaker 3: Well, I got one graduating, uh, this Saturday man, and, uh, I got his gown hanging in my closet and I'm just, I'm absolutely blown away. To be honest with you that, that I'm here already. I can't even my wife and I were like, really, I got a 13 [00:01:00] year old, who's going into eighth grade. So he's going to have four years by himself here at home. And my son's going to be going to the university of Tampa, real excited about, about his progression. And, but it wasn't an easy path. I can promise you that.
Speaker 2: I believe that. And then I'm glad that he's going to be at least close enough to home. Cause you're in Orlando now, right?
Speaker 3: Yeah. I am in Orlando and he, yeah, he needs to be close to home because, uh, oh, does it four years? Three and a half years ago. I believe he was diagnosed [00:01:30] with type one diabetes and probably the most challenging part of, of our parenthood is, uh, since, since his dad diagnosed diag my saying that right since he was diagnosed and my, my wife was diagnosed a year prior to that. So it's, it's been, it's been a weird, uh, it doesn't usually happen this late in life. The wife was, uh, in her early forties when she got diagnosed. And um, and my son a year later at the age of 14 got diagnosed. So it's [00:02:00] been a, it's been a definitely a shift it's I would say it's probably dominated our family for the last three years. It's been the, probably the hardest thing I've ever faced in my entire life. And I've run big businesses and had successful things happen in my life. And I've had failures and, and this has probably been the most challenging thing I've ever went through.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I usually like to start out with little personal history and business history, but I'd like to jump right into the, the diagnoses late in life, because I don't really even know anything about diabetes. You usually [00:02:30] picture, you know, people that are overweight and unhealthy, but you guys are, you know, take care of yourselves and exercise. Your wife is fit.
Speaker 3: Type two is a, is, is, is where you do it to yourself, basically through diet and you don't manage, you don't manage your health correctly. And so for they're diagnosed with type one, which means, you know, something genetic where their, their pancreas just doesn't, it doesn't work anymore. So it doesn't produce the insulin it's supposed to produce. So, you know, just the whole learning curve [00:03:00] of understanding, you're new to you. I mean, picture this to me, I've never understood diabetes at all. So even when my wife called me to tell me she had it, it didn't even register the complexity I was faced with. You know, she's been in the intensive care unit a couple of times and twos and with keto acidosis when she's learning how to do it, and she's now on a pump. And when you've got a teenager though, who's 14 years old who eats whatever he wants.
Speaker 3: Pizza does all the things. And the problem with diabetes is it's a carb issue, right? [00:03:30] So carbs turn to sugar when it gets into your body. And so if you don't count your carbs properly, and then, then I've learned there's fast carbs, there's slow carbs. There's, there's so many different things that contribute to their health, that it's just, it's just mind boggling. And then if they get sick, their immune system affects it and their sugar can go high and you can wake up in the middle of the night and your sugar goes low. And so there's there's technology though that helps them, you know, just Dexcom meter that I, you know, we can look on our phone to see what his sugar levels are and Hershey. [00:04:00] The problem is his phone has to be charged all the time. You know, teenagers, aren't always responsible. And so it's nerve wracking.
Speaker 3: Like you just couldn't even imagine. So it's nothing to do with being helpful. It just has to do with, they just got a broken pancreas, really is what it comes down to. But with technology, we're super blessed that they're coming out with stuff now, that's it, it's almost like an, you know, like an artificial pancreas that it's getting to the point where you, you don't even need to check your sh you know, it just kinda, it gives insulin when [00:04:30] it needs to, it slows it down when it doesn't, it balances it. So we're just not to that. We're my wife wears a pump. We're just not that to that point with my son yet. He he's, he hasn't, he hasn't really embraced it as, as, as, as it's really part of his life for the rest of his life. I mean, there's no cure for it when you can. The good news is you can live a perfectly healthy life if you manage it properly.
Speaker 2: So I remember you were up here. I think actually with my dad when you got a phone call. So as what's, yeah, what's the Intel. [00:05:00] Tell me about that story and what the danger is for when you're not regulating your sugar.
Speaker 3: So, so, you know, my wife got super skinny and you you're like, okay, that's cool. You know, as a husband, you're like, Hey, I'm digging it. Right? Like she's always been, but I'm like, then it got to the point where she was super skinny. I'm like, something's not right here. Cause I've never seen you like this. And, and so she went a while without really knowing she had it. And then when Nicholas went to his routine appointment, my wife says, you know, the doctor said, you know, for dads, [00:05:30] man, just to think, uh, you know, dads are listening to this, you know, don't, you know, when you see something's different, don't just brush it off. And I think that's the, really the, the thing that, that I've learned. And you would've thought I learned my lesson because I have not to regress. But back in, um, about 18 years ago, 17 and a half years ago, my wife had a stroke and you're like, yeah, in her thirties.
Speaker 3: And you're like, okay. So, but there were signs of it. And we just didn't think, you know, you [00:06:00] just think it's, you don't, you don't think that, right. But when you look back, you're like, oh my God, all the signs were there, but you never think it. So I think the advice is make sure you pay attention to your body, make sure you pay attention to your kids and the changes that are happening. If they seem weird, you should question them. And so my wife had enough, you know, smarts or mother intuition to tell the doctor, can you just check his sugar? Because he had grown, but re but went down in weight. And so it's a big weight issue [00:06:30] and it makes you real thirsty. And this is when, before you get control of everything and his sugar was so high that they said, either you drive immediately to the dock, to the hospital, or I'm calling an ambulance.
Speaker 3: Cause it was at high where he could have went into ketoacidosis. And so I was with your dad. And when my wife called me, as a matter of fact, we were at RTJ and I'll never forget it was, it was, my wife was beside herself because she had already gone through it. Right. So she was really a year into it and she knows how difficult it is. So I think her fear and [00:07:00] discipline her fear and upset nature was about a, it's going to make it even harder on her, but B she knows what he's going to have to go through now. And she doesn't know nobody wants your kid to go through anything. And what is ketoacidosis else when your sugar gets so high? I don't know the exact details. And I do a little bit of a disservice to the, to the disease, but just a rough idea.
Speaker 3: It's like where your BA I guess when you, when you, your sugar gets too high, it's almost like your body produces more carbon monoxide or something similar [00:07:30] to that. And literally your organs start to, can start to shut down. You like it you'll die. I mean, you literally could die from it. And so, um, it makes your heart function differently. You remember it, it affects your muscles in the biggest muscle in your body is your heart. So if you don't keep your sugars balanced, that's, that's the muscle that you're going to hurt the most. That's hard to rebound from. So now when your sugar goes low, it's a different thing. You can, you pass out and then you can just, I hate to say it would just die [00:08:00] in your sleep. I mean, there was a, there was a story just, just this year where a fifth grade girl would stay at or a burst sleep over just, uh, I mean, how many sleepovers we've been in our life, right.
Speaker 3: As a kid over. And, uh, the parents did everything, right. They, they gave the other parents, all the instructions, the insulin, everything. Right. And, um, they did everything. They were supposed to do the hosting parents. And, but the, you know, the kid was likely not doing what they were supposed to do. And kids went to bed and [00:08:30] in fifth grade and the sugar dropped and nobody noticed, and kid passed away. So, you know, so you hear stories like that. It's, it's frightening. And it's, it makes your heart just twist. And you're you just go, God, I hope that's never my son or my kid, you know, but it it's, it can happen. It's it's horrific. So, and the problem is when you've got a 14, 15 year old Tyler, they don't, they don't trust. They don't you yet. They don't realize the magnitude of it.
Speaker 3: They think they're Superman and it's our job. Not to necessarily [00:09:00] be their friend, but to be their protector, you know? And, and, and you, you keep saying it and that you repeat what the doctors say. And they're like, I feel fine. I'm not, I don't need to do this. I don't need to do that. Especially when they become teenagers, they'll, they'll eat stuff without telling you they're eating it. Yeah. Our doctor, his doctor give him a hard time recently because the sugar has been high. So it's just so hard to manage. But ketoacidosis is probably the worst thing that could happen really. Cause you end up in the ICU and she [00:09:30] was in the intensive care unit twice for a couple of days, each time. So that's unbelievable. He hasn't, he, it hasn't happened to him yet. And, but what's funny. Well, not funny, but what's, you know, he'll say things like, well, I haven't been in the hospital yet. That's why you giving me a hard time about my sugar, but he's really a kid kind of mindset. So I'll tell you it's not easy, man. That's probably been, I'm telling you it's by far the hottest subject in our home on a daily basis,
Speaker 2: How do you, I mean, how [00:10:00] do you manage that? I guess 15 year old. I want to call it ego or sense of pride or lack of experience. Like, what are the things that you feel like you can do to paint a real reality picture?
Speaker 3: He's going to be 18 in a, in two weeks. And, um, you know, I, I don't know. Oh, I, I tried to be a father who cared and I found myself being a father who was angry all the time, because I couldn't get him to understand [00:10:30] the importance of it, you know? And when you feel like you're out of control, you don't have control or something. And you feel like a child is being, I would say unintentionally defiant. Right? I don't think he's waking up going. I want to make sure my sugar is not balanced. I want to off my parents. I want to do all these things. Just upset them. I don't think that's the case. I just think he's a young man who at 18, you're not, I don't think you're an adult yet. I mean, I don't think you're an adult until you're in your mid twenties, to be honest with you.
Speaker 3: I mean, you still got so much. [00:11:00] There's no way, right? I mean, you know, I found myself getting angry all the time, to be honest with you. And because I felt to me, I'm so stressed. You know, I was in the military for seven years. I've been running a business for over 20 years. To me, everything comes crystal clear. Like I am, oh, I don't, I'm not, I don't ever look at things as obstacles. I just, I am always focused on solution. It doesn't, it just doesn't matter to me. Like some people look at, you know, they're trying to get to the other side of the river [00:11:30] and they see all they see is the deep canyon in the water below. And I see the trails left to right. You know what I mean? So that's how I've always been. And I think that's survival mode.
Speaker 3: I, you know, personally, I grew up, uh, the youngest of four boys in government housing in Connecticut, a single mom. And so I didn't, you know, what's funny about me being on this podcast is I didn't grow up with a debt. So it's interesting that, that I'm here given father advice, because you, you know, it's like Mike Tyson said, [00:12:00] man, you can, you can have a game plan. Right? What did he, they said, they said to Mike, they said, Mike, do you have a game plan? And he said, he said, and this is my bad impersonation. He said, he said, you have a game plan. But as soon as you get punched in the mouth, that game plan is thrown out the window.
Speaker 3: You can read as many books as you want, and you can study as much as you want. But I've found that where, where I learned to be a dad is hanging out with guys that are just, I've always been, uh, friends with [00:12:30] people that are older than me. For example, Mike Stonehill, I could, my best friends in the history have always been much older than me. Cause I've always picked people as mentors that, that are father figures that are responsible, that are, and I think that's helped me grow. And the fact that I went in the military for seven years helped help quite a bit. But man, I'll tell you what Tyler being a dad is the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Every day I leave the house going, did I do the right thing that I, you know, should I have said [00:13:00] that, that it's hard, man.
Speaker 3: There's no perfect. I think, I think the best thing you can tell dads out there is it's okay to make mistakes. Like we're all trying to figure this out. There's no, there's no manual for this. Right? There's no manual to control emotion. I think it's wild. Yeah. The thing that people would tell you how to raise your kid, let them know their own kid in a particular way. All these relationship experts, the guy from, uh, what does it matter from Mars [00:13:30] and Venus or whatever he got divorced. So like just maybe not like these people are experts on things. It doesn't mean they're good at it. Sure.
Speaker 3: Really, really hard. And you know, I don't want my kids to look back and go, my dad was tough or my dad was this. I want, I want them to look back and go. My dad, you know, my dad, my dad cared about me. And, and I think sometimes, you know, guess what, [00:14:00] I, as a dad, I just want you to know that our feelings do get hurt. Like my feelings get hurt. I'm not this robot, you know? So like when you do a lot of nice things for your kids and you don't get reciprocation back in the form of respect or acknowledgement of the stuff that sacrifices you make as a parent, I think it does weigh on you after awhile. You know? And, and, and I think sometimes I get resentful almost like, do you not see what I do for you? And you, you can't do these simple things to make our, [00:14:30] our house happier.
Speaker 3: And I think, you know, you try to look and go, okay, it's not, I don't think they're doing it intentionally, but you know, I didn't have a great example of a father. So, you know, I only had my mom worked 80 hours a week and when she got home, she was so tired that all she did was yell at us. And, and I mean, she was a good mom. Don't get me wrong. I love her to pieces. She's, she's an amazing person. And I look back at what she had to do. I shoot, I look at my life now, I'm, you know, I'm successful. You know, my [00:15:00] business is successful financially successful. I've been married for 22 years. So I'm relationship successful. I have two kids who are healthy to the most for the most part, you know, without diabetes. But I mean, they're, they're, they're going to graduate high school.
Speaker 3: They're going to go to college. And so, I mean, I all, I've, I've beat the odds. You know, if you look at where I came from and my mom, you know, I told my mom that all the time, you know, I wouldn't change it for the world, uh, what, what I went through, but I wouldn't want my kids to go through what I went through and that, you know, that your, your law, [00:15:30] um, it's, what's his, I'm so sorry, Jesse. Itzler I loved listening to him because I've used this no less than 50 times, which is he used an analogy that his dad used to let them get hit in the face all the time with the ball, right? The ball is anything in life. And I feel like I am like a professional catcher, you know, you know, there's times where I want to induce pain. I'm like, [00:16:00] I've never thought you could love something so much, but want to take his life away at the same exact
Speaker 3: Pain. I want it to be really quick, but now I'm just kidding. Sandra. You're like, I can't believe you're my son. Why are you doing this to me? Why are you acting like this? You know, but you also have to remember, he's not just your son. He's, he's a, he's a human, he's a man with emotions. He's, he's, he's learned to be somebody he's gotta be independent at some time. You know, [00:16:30] you know, at some point in the wild, they, you know, there's no, they don't meet for dinner. You know, they separate and go start their own pride, right? The lion they leave, right. There's not room for another male lion. And so eventually even as a kid, you're kicked out of the house and thank God we have emotion and feelings and empathy and compassion as humans. But, you know, he still is trying to figure out how to be a man.
Speaker 3: He's going to challenge you. They're going to do things that you know, so, and I look back and the reality [00:17:00] is his worst moments. Aren't even like on the radar compared to my worst moment. So I have that to, to have that to, uh, really rest on. But I think we're in a different day and age, we didn't have social media. When I was a kid, we didn't have all this technology when I was a kid. And I think my biggest frustration as a father is my, I think my kids are literally addicted to their phones costing to me now, not to get off point, but that, that is just being a father, managing [00:17:30] that in itself is a hard thing. It tracks it doing homework, whatever. Yeah.
Speaker 2: The things that I like to talk about is a different context. You know, the w the, the time in which you grew up is different than me is different than your kid. And would you say that's kind of the biggest difference your growing up, like with the biggest empire?
Speaker 3: Well, well, I mean, Tyler, I grew up the youngest of four boys and government houses. We didn't have, I can remember not having electricity and not having [00:18:00] heat because you need an oil in Connecticut, not having a whale, sleeping with my winter clothes on using socks as gloves. In the winter time, I would go door to door, shoveling snow, raking leaves, mowing lawns. When I was nine years old, I had a paper route when I was nine. Hartford would get up at five in the morning, rain, sleet, or snow rain, sleet, or shine. I'm delivering newspapers. I have trouble getting my kids to pick their clothes up off the floor. I mean, it's weird. It just in a different era, man, I had to, literally, I was, I didn't do it cause I wanted to, I did it because we [00:18:30] had to, and we would give the money to our mom to help pay. And I'm not telling you, I didn't skim a little off the top. You know, the under one light, you don't grow up in the bourbon housing and the projects and not learn a few survival skills. So, but, but for the most part, I was forced into that. And I wouldn't change it for the world because it allowed me to learn how to go. You know, my whole career started knocking doors, selling home security systems.
Speaker 2: If somebody had recorded that that would have been one of these viral videos where people go, holy, people sell that like [00:19:00] that effectively, that well, I've seen you pretend to sell and I wanted to buy whatever you had. I didn't care.
Speaker 3: Well, it's definitely, but I will tell you, I learned that through survival. It wasn't, I didn't, there was no manual. So someone says like, do you have a book? Write a book. And I'm like, and I thought about it. And it's hard for me to sit down. I would have to hire somebody to just listen to me because when I read books that about sales or things that or anything, it just, to me, it's like, [00:19:30] why are you like, you're really people are buying this. This seems like common sense to me. But common sense is not so common. That's the thing you have to understand. But you know, getting back to the, to the kids, they, you know, I grew up so much different now. They're, they're growing up with this. The conversation I have all the time is my biggest fear is my kids don't know what the real word world adversity really is. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? First, they got to come home early varsity to them is do the dishes, [00:20:00] adversity that was take the dog out, clean up the dog crap out of the yard. That's adversity. I mean, adversity to me was, am I going to eat tonight? Am I sleeping with a winter jacket on and moon boots? Because I'm freezing in my own house. So do you have
Speaker 2: Contrive adversity so that the kids grow up to be resilient?
Speaker 3: You know, the problem is, you know, you in a marriage, you have two people, you have a mom and you have a dad. And mom is very compassionate. And dad is probably, [00:20:30] I'm a hard, I'm a hard man. I mean, in a sense of, I expect excellence. My son got a 3.8 GPA. He should add a 4.4 he's that smart, never did homework. You know? And here I went to a post school, barely graduated. His high school cost 22 grand a year. You know what I'm saying? What is the adversity? I mean, like when I didn't do my homework, I got an F when he didn't do his homework, I got nine [00:21:00] emails at home giving us more than 27 chances for him to catch up. So you wouldn't get a good grade in a totally different environment than we were growing up. And I think that the biggest issue is I honestly think social media and the internet and these false narratives that float around and everybody thinks everybody's successful.
Speaker 3: And everybody thinks everybody's got all this great things happening. And what they don't realize is how hard it is to get there. [00:21:30] You know, my son never says to me, or anybody even P anybody who wants to do what I do or have the success I've had, which is nothing compared to a lot of people out there. I mean, I'm blessed. Don't get me wrong, happy with my life. But you get guys like Sr or who is, you know, I mean, just, geez, I've completely different planet, right? And I'm not complaining cause I'm totally blessed with, with what I have, but they don't realize nobody asks how, what you had to do to get there. They just, I want that. And they come [00:22:00] to work for you and they expect to, to be an executive day one. And I'm like, look, I, I, I was knocking doors for 10 years. So now new owners, I have a dealer program, my business and the new owners come in and they, they think they can do what I do. And I'm like, no, you're, you're missing the first 20 years of my career. You're not paying attention to that.
Speaker 3: I am enjoying the result of all these years of work. You want the result without the effort and nothing. It doesn't work that way. [00:22:30] One of my favorite lines is I worked 15 years to become an overnight success applied by the way. And I'll steal that line from you because you're, it's, you're a hundred percent, right. People just see the success. Like they don't realize how hard life was, you know? And, and I'm not, I'm not like it's not a pity party for me. I'm not asking for anybody to feel sorry for me. I wouldn't change the way I grew up at all. Why, why why'd you grow up without a dad? My dad left when I was, [00:23:00] I know two under two years old. I don't ever remember him being at home. My parents just got divorced and I was the youngest. And, uh, he just wasn't involved in my life.
Speaker 3: My older brothers had had time with him. Uh, he tried later in life to get involved and you know, it's a weird thing. I'm, I'm wired a little bit differently. I think I, you know, growing up the way I did, I, I learned to be a survivor. So I'm very resilient in a sense that I don't allow [00:23:30] toxicity into my life. Something's toxic. I cut it out of my life. And so prime example is my wife was always concerned that it's very easy for me to cut people out of my life if I don't feel like they bring value. And so I'm very positive person. And, um, it's not that I don't, I don't like negative people it's that I won't entertain the fellowship of it. Right. And I said to my dad, I said, look, I love you for life. And you don't like you, like, [00:24:00] I'm not happy with you for the decisions you made.
Speaker 3: And then I tried, I tried to bring it back in my life and it just didn't work right too late. And, and he, he, uh, he has a lot of personal thing issues. And so I don't, I don't want to pick on him because, you know, I'm sure he had issues growing up too, but I've just decided that if something doesn't bring me joy or value, I look like this, that the word I use is there's people in life who are energy inducers and there's people that are energy reducers. Right. [00:24:30] And he was an energy thief. Yeah. You can just steal my energy with negativity all the time. And so for me, I don't ever want to be that person. Right. I want to be, I want to be a great dad. Um, I don't know if I'm a great dad. You'd probably have to ask my kids. You know what I mean? I mean, I really don't know why we're
Speaker 2: Here trying to figure out what that is, what that looks like.
Speaker 3: I don't know what the debt is it a roof over the head? Probably not. You know, is it money in the bank note? Is it, I mean, I think it's time spent and, uh, like my, my wife was [00:25:00] worried that, you know, my son would me off to the point where I would cut him out and in that would never happen. You know, he's my, he's my boy. You know, I love him and you know, I'm going to love them unconditionally, but I don't always have to like them.
Speaker 2: Sure. That makes perfect sense to me. I get that. Well, let me, let me ask you, um, where you with your company successful prior to having kids, or was it after you have kids, I'm wondering where you were in your professional life?
Speaker 3: I was successful prior. I got out of the air force in 1997. [00:25:30] It was an interesting, I, I, I met my wife in October of 96, married her March of 1997. Nobody thought we would survive. We want to get to the married for 22 years now, got out of the air force in November of 97, moved to Florida in November 97, had another wedding in November of 97 because we eloped in March of 97. Didn't tell any family wedding in November 97. So now my wife's been milking me for two anniversaries,
Speaker 3: [00:26:00] Scammed it, totally getting milk in it too. So I've been, been asking for, for, for that to be, uh, an old, the first one. So, uh, so we got that going on and, and then, uh, and then moving. So I did three, look it up three of the most stressful things you can do is change jobs, move and get married. I did all three of them at the same time. And so [00:26:30] we, we, um, I mean, if you really want to get deep into, into what, what it was like, we actually built a business. It was pretty successful. I mean, you know, not where I am now, but still very successful compared to what security business. Yeah, yeah. Yep, yep. Yep. Well, actually my first business was the Kirby business selling vacuum cleaners door to door vacuums for, for a couple years. Um, and I was, uh, I was, I always focused on the alarm side of things, but, you know, I guess I [00:27:00] wouldn't do any justice without at least talking about that.
Speaker 3: I, I started selling door to door vacuum when I got out of the military and I was really good at it. And I was the fastest promoted factory distributor in the history of the company. I went from sales rep to factory distributor 13 months. Yeah. It meant I made a lot of money doing it, but I hated my job. Absolutely despise what I did. I would leave the house at seven in the morning, go to the gym, run a meeting at 11 leave to go to the field. I'd get home at midnight, one o'clock in the morning everyday. So I almost destroyed my marriage over it, but what I built, I built [00:27:30] a good business. And, but, but here's something I would share with you that there is no success, no success outside the home that will ever make up for failures inside you. I want that to resonate a little bit right outside the home that will ever make up for failures inside your home. But so, so the success for me, I think came while at, at the beginning, I always knew I was going to be successful. I just, I didn't know at what level I just knew [00:28:00] I was always going to go out and make my, my own difference. And I, even, when I was in the military, I had part-time jobs. He used to tell me I was Jamaican. They said, look, if they go, what are you look for jobs in the obituary, man, there's gotta be an opening.
Speaker 3: I met my wife at a pool hall. I was a bartender at fast Eddie's billiards in Alexandria. Virginia was a dormant back when I was in the military, my job was carrying caskets. I weighed over 200 pounds. I was lifting weights every day and never played golf. I wasn't golfing then. [00:28:30] And, uh, she was a bartender going to school and that's how we met. And so it's just, it's weird how, how life evolves, man. But, but the success in business was there. And then we, we locked, we ended up, my wife got pregnant with our daughter and unfortunately we lost that baby at seven months. Wow. Then we ended up getting pregnant again and eight and a half months pregnant. And she, my wife had a terrible situation where her placenta abrupted and we lost the second daughter. And so that was, it was pretty awful.
Speaker 3: We [00:29:00] didn't think we were ever going to have kids, you know, and that was late, late pregnancy. And we had Nicholas. So he was a gift from God. And then six months later, she had a stroke. We found out all the reasons they were all the same reasons why she had the complications with the, with the, with the pregnancies as she did with her stroke. And so they at least figured out what was wrong. And so they got that part. And then we, we weren't even, we weren't going to try again because of how hard it was and she got pregnant again. And it was, [00:29:30] I don't want to say by accident, but it was, we weren't trying to have another kid and we were trying to be careful, you know? So, uh, Michael Phelps got in there somehow, so,
Speaker 2: Well, let me, the, those two experiences are, are horrible. And there are other people that have had those experiences or might have those, like, is there anything you can say to those people on how to help manage that, you know, working together on your own,
Speaker 3: You know, [00:30:00] to be raw and authentic. I don't know if my advice works for everybody because my wife is still dealing with it to this day. There's a thing in business or in life. It's, you know, you have an IQ, I would just your intelligent quotient. Then you have an IQ which is adversity quotient. And I realized that I have a very high adversity quotient. And that for me, not a big mortar on death because I kind of feel like it is what it is. There's nothing you can do about [00:30:30] it. You can't change it. Right. Not saying I don't mourn. I'm not sad. I just remember I told you, I looked for the trail to get to the other side, focused on avoiding the pain by thinking about what I can do moving forward. Yeah. So for me, my wife and I are polar opposites when it comes to that, she is, um, she sees every problem with every [00:31:00] attempt on everything. I never see a problem. I see the solution and that's why I'm successful in business, but it's really hard being a dad and a husband, because she'll say something and I'll be like, well, that's easy to fix. And she's like, I don't want you to fix that. You listen to me. And you're like, well, okay, well, but, but aren't you upset because it's not fixed? No. Okay. Um, now I'm really confused
Speaker 2: After I th I feel like that's a pretty common theme among men and women [00:31:30] in my experience. My wife's the same way.
Speaker 3: Oh, do you see the video? That was a, what viral would the, the guy is it's it shows a closeup, but just the back of their heads and they're talking and he's like, she's like, you just, you don't understand. You never listened to me. And then he looks up at it. I'll send it to you, Tyler. But he's like, you do have a nail sticking out of your forehead. She had literally had a nail. Jack's not about the nail. She goes, just listen. He goes, okay, I'll listen. She goes, you know, I've been having these headaches [00:32:00] when I roll over, it hurts. And my sweaters are snagging. Um, do you know if you remove the nail, it's not about the nail. You can picture
Speaker 2: Feels that way. Right. It can feel that way. I've learned, I'm learning. There's an author. There's a quote from the office where Michael Scott just has to say, yeah, that really sucks. And then it's fun. Like, she's happy. I'm sorry. That sucks. [00:32:30] And then I have to stop talking and everything's okay.
Speaker 3: I try that. But when I do that, you know, she says you're being condescending, but she knows it's not, I can't win. So I'm just like, I love her to pieces. So, uh, you know, we worked through it, but, um, I am, again, I'm, uh, I am truly a problems. I'm a solution oriented person. How's that
Speaker 2: The impact? Talk to me about sales a little bit, because you are, you probably are very natural, [00:33:00] but you've got honed skills over experience. Like, are there any, you know, if you were going to write a book, you have some ideas of what you'd put into it for people that are in sales,
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting. Cause I, I thought the reason I never wrote a book because I thought it wouldn't be a good book because the stuff I have to say it to me, like I was telling you earlier, it just seems so common sense. Right? Like it, it kind of like I'm reading stuff, I'm reading people's books and I'm going like, okay, I guess I could have wrote a book because this is like, is this what people [00:33:30] are starving for? That's what I I'm thinking. Like, it's so common sense to me. Like, you know, in business, I don't overanalyze. If you make five, spend four, you made one, right? Like you've made five, spent six, you lost one. And I, I don't have a business degree and I've never not made money. You know what I mean? I've always had, now it took me about six years to realize that I wasn't, I was probably, you know, so for me, my lack of skills of actually being a business [00:34:00] minded person, I was business-minded meaning I was a hustler.
Speaker 3: I would hustle, hustle, hustle, and go make money. But if I had somebody on my board early on that understood P and L and economics and things of that nature and streamlining things, I wouldn't have had to sell so much to make the money I made. And every time something would seem hard, I would just go sell more. Right. You know, they say, there's a, there's a saying in business that prosperity hides a lot of sin. Right? And so in business, you have a lot of big companies. [00:34:30] If you get deep into the weeds, you'll find a lot of errors, but because they're selling a lot of stuff and they're making a lot of money, then it, it sort of gets whitewashed out. But when you're a small business, if you pay it, if you, if you have a bad week, you don't have the depth, deep pockets of wall street has to fill the coffer.
Speaker 3: Right? Like you hear all the time, these big public, a $1 billion loss in quarter three, and you're like billion dollars and they're still in business. Right? Like, so, you know what I mean? It's different, it's different numbers. And [00:35:00] so for me, I just took a very common sense approach. Now I will tell you, after 20 years, I've learned to surround myself with really smart people. And I would say this, if you're no you're spot on the bus and mine is sales motivation. And I actually, you know, I've got a really good compliment from my, our CFO is my business partner is a Harvard business grounded. And he, you know, he said, you know, he's you think you think about things correctly. Right? And so I was like, oh, okay. That's he goes, you do it very naturally. [00:35:30] You don't realize it. But he goes, you're, you're, you're regurgitating things I've learned in school.
Speaker 3: And you obviously never went to school. And I, well, I feel like 20 years of businesses and then knocking doors for so long. I mean, that's like a degree in communication. If you think about it, right. You're truly where else can you, you're meeting new people every day, all day, you're being rejected, nonstop. Right? You have to learn how to, you have to learn how to capture someone's attention in a split. Second, a deal is made or broken it that you don't [00:36:00] get them. You don't get them to, to, to, to break the ice like, like that. And I've always done it through humor. I was always really good at getting in houses just to share my story, to sell my product. And you know, people would go to the door robotic. Right. And they'd stick to the script and the script's important, but the delivery is probably more critical, right? Like a joke is only a good joke. If someone knows how to deliver it properly. Right. Your dad and I, I would give myself, put myself in that category was very good at delivering jokes. [00:36:30] But, but there's other people who could take that same joke and deliver it. They'd be like, oh, that was not that good.
Speaker 2: You got to know your audience too. You got to be,
Speaker 3: It's just the delivery. So in business, it's very similar, right? It's, it's, you know, there's a lot of people who are book knowledge that can't apply it to anything, the book knowledge, Tyler. But I have the experience, which I think is greater than the book knowledge. Cause remember, books are written from experience. Yeah. I just haven't written my book yet, but I have, [00:37:00] I have enough experience and knowledge to write a book, but I'm just not a scholar in a sense that I just don't think I'm to add. I couldn't picture myself sitting here. I really, I mean, I think if I'd sat, if I recorded a lot of stuff over time and then had someone transcribe it, then that would be my book. Yeah. Like I get in front of a thousand people to speak about certain things and I don't, I never go, I never have a plan. It's just tell me what you want me to talk about. Cause it's coming here. They were like, don't you have something prepared. [00:37:30] I do. It's right here. It's called experience. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like we're not, we didn't, we didn't prep for this call. Did we
Speaker 2: Point you in a direction, wind you up and go,
Speaker 3: I hope I'm giving you good information at least. Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about sales a little bit. Like if you were selling now and selling 20 years ago, is your approach different? Because the time is different.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it definitely would. Because when [00:38:00] I started selling, we didn't have the technology. Yeah. So it was really like a scattered approach. Right. So we, we would, you know, if we're going door to door, we would just go into a neighborhood and just pound, pound, pound, pound, pound, there was no rhyme or reason to it. Now today you can really hone your skills more through, through data and technology. Right. So I can, I can know before I go the best neighborhoods to go to, like, I know what kind of credit I'm looking for, what kind of customers I'm looking for, what the household [00:38:30] median is. You get all their information.
Speaker 2: Are you still knocking on doors? You got not so
Speaker 3: Much anymore, but I have hundreds, hundreds of people who do, and they're still following the same script and philosophy I did 15 years ago. So selling hasn't changed, man. I mean, door to door has been around forever. My grandfather used to sell shoes, door to door. Don't have a catalog. So picture that, wow,
Speaker 2: Here are pictures. Pick one
Speaker 3: And be like, doesn't that picture look comfortable to you? You know
Speaker 2: What I mean?
Speaker 3: [00:39:00] Right. So it's like naps shoes, kn app. And uh, you know, he was a door to door tailor. And so I think, I think inadvertently, I was going to end up as a door to door or something. You know, people go, I've had people at the door, told me, go get a real job. And I would laugh as I walked to my Lexus. You know, what is a real job, man? I mean, I'm out here hustling. What's a real job is a real job. McDonald's I mean, what's a real job. I mean, what does that mean? I mean, anybody [00:39:30] who's out trying to, I commend anybody doing anything, man. You know, as long as you're making a difference and you try, I've always been a big believer in, um, you growing up where I did, it's just important to stay humble and not look down on people, you know?
Speaker 3: And even to this day, like my favorite people that I like, even at my country, I'm a member of a really nice club and it's funny Tyler. Cause I like, I don't belong with this class. I'm not this guy. Like I'm, you know, I'm successful, but I really [00:40:00] still think I'm still the guy from the hood, you know? And I mean, I'm more articulate than when I was a kid, but, but I still have that survival mentality. And my favorite people are the workers, the guys cutting grass. And I mean, I always ask people, do you ever just stop and say thank you to the garbage man. Like, cause you look, the problem is most people look down on the garbage man. I mean, without garbage man we'd have filthy streets. Like I feel like you got to thank the people, you know, that's bagging your groceries. I mean that are, you know, like [00:40:30] the people that it's unfortunate, not it's, we're not in an equal system, right? Like not everybody gets to experience the same level of success. We all, if you can't have a number one, unless you have a number of 10. Yeah. Same. It doesn't. If everything on your list is important, then nothing's important. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well w what do you do to maintain that perspective? Do you have like a practice like journaling church?
Speaker 3: We do go to church and I am, I am a Christian. Uh, uh, [00:41:00] but I'm not a Puritan. Let me make that clear. You know, uh, I am saved and I do go to non-denominational Christian and, and, but that's my thing is I'm a member of a nonprofit organization called bro brothers reaching out. And it was started by Tony McGee. Who's a 14, 12 or 14 year veteran in the NFL and Joe Logan, who was a major league baseball player. And we got some other athletes involved as well. And we work, we work with the inner city kids down in Orlando, at the boys and girls [00:41:30] club. And it's staggering man, like heartbreaking that most of these kids they're after the kids, we sat in a room with take 20 kids. 10 of them, their dads are dead. Five of them, their dads are in prison.
Speaker 3: And the other five, they don't know who their dad is. And so in, in, in, in the lower income areas, it's, it's so prevalent for single moms to be raising kids. And it's, you know, I, I feel like I got lucky when I joined the military. [00:42:00] Well, I'd say some of it's locked. My other brothers are fairly 60 too, but not none of us went to college. I think my mom did a good job setting us up. So I got to give my mom props, but, you know, cause she taught us right from wrong. And you know, we didn't, we weren't like in trouble with the law. I had one brother that was, and unfortunately he passed away in prison in jail. I don't wanna say president, but he was in jail. And so a horrible accident. But, but the, the, [00:42:30] the thing, the thing is that you have, but that's another example, Tyler, where it's like, it is what it is.
Speaker 3: Right. But what, what do you do? You do all you can do about it. And I'm not a big, I don't believe in pity parties, man. So like when my kids are upset, I have compassion for them. But at the same time, dude, pull your, pull your pants up. Let's like enough. Like we got to move on. Like you we're, we're not gonna sit here and let these things control what you do next. Yeah. It is [00:43:00] what it is. And you, I don't believe in focusing on things you can not control. And I know it's easier said than done sometimes, but I think most people struggle in business and in parenting and in life because they let the emotions control them.
Speaker 2: Couldn't agree more. Yeah. One of my, one of my favorite sayings to anybody who I get the opportunity to tell it to is if you can't control it, don't worry about it. If you can control it, control it and don't worry about [00:43:30] it.
Speaker 3: Right? You still got to do something about it, but what does worrying do? It affects your immune system. It, I mean, it's, it's a horrific anxiety is such a terrible disease that you, that you live in. If, if you let these things get to you and you either you have a choice in business to either respond or react and believe me as a father, I think I've reacted too many times. Sure. When I wish I would have responded. And it just, I think, you know, when I think back as I'm talking to you, I [00:44:00] think every situation for me, the reason I would get so angry is because I felt disrespected. I think for me, it's I think, I don't think it's about my kids being perfect. I think it's about them showing respect for the situation they're in.
Speaker 2: Do you think that's unique in your particular circumstance or do you think at some age, all kids go to like the dark side of the moon and then eventually circled that?
Speaker 3: I, you know, listen, [00:44:30] I thought we were the only ones dealing with all this and I've become friends with a lot of dads now who were, you know, in the area and far worse issues that I'm dealing with. So I think it's teenager. I think, I think it's, I think he's just growing up. He's figuring life out, man. And I think what I've done, what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to let him get hit in the face with the ball. Yeah. I told my wife, I said, we have got to let him figure this diabetes. [00:45:00] I said, I'm not saying we're not going to be here to bring them to the hospital, but we, we have to let go a little bit and let him realize that when he controls it himself, this is the result almost has to get to the, to the spot where, where he, he it's dramatic because otherwise you're never going to know what you're doing wrong, how it's affecting you. And so I, I told her, so we got a little get hit in the face with the Baltimore. You know,
Speaker 2: Some of the things that you think have created the best [00:45:30] growth for your kids, like, uh, being involved with volunteering or playing in sports leagues or, you know, school, like what do you think is built their character the most?
Speaker 3: I think them being part of a team, I also think, you know, while my wife and I are always perfect, we, we argue from time to time. But I think them seeing that when we do argue and get upset with each other, that we still go to bed together and we wake up together [00:46:00] and that we're still here. Yeah. You know, and I think being an example of a unit, not running from things, I mean, don't get me wrong. There's times where I'm sure my wife is wanting to leave and there's times I want, you know, it's just, that's, that's just human emotion. Right. But at the end of the day, we don't. And you know, I made a decision when I got married that I was the only, I'm the only one in my entire family has never been divorced. You know, that's like, and I don't want to be, I want to be that statistic. You [00:46:30] know, there's just no reason. Like it's, you know, just because you don't say the grass is not greener on the other side, it's greenest where you water it the most. Right? Yeah. I've never
Speaker 2: Heard that. I like
Speaker 3: That the greatest reward the most, but it's also green right. Above septic tanks.
Speaker 2: Ah that's that's good.
Speaker 3: Right. So just because things look good from the outside doesn't mean it always smells good on the inside. And so, you know, [00:47:00] we have, you know, we have issues. I mean, you know, everybody does, right. And a lot of it, unfortunately, most of it stems from health, my wife's health and my son's health, but also my tenacity to like, um, I'm such a doer that I act everybody else to be a doer. I just, I don't understand how, you know, you, you can walk by something and see that it's out of place and not pick it up. Or do you know? I, I'm not wired like that. My wife's like, why are you always doing stuff? Like, because [00:47:30] like that's because it's not supposed to be there. And like, do you agree? Yeah. Well, it's been there. I mean, you've seen it 20 times. I'm going to fix it when I was serving at church.
Speaker 3: It's kind of a funny story. When I was serving at church in Virginia, I was a, I was an usher and this guy that's been in charge. I always heard him kind of being hard on the other ushers, like, cause they're trying to have this perfect situation. And they, their church was at a high school and [00:48:00] I just it's, it's so funny. Cause I think it applies to our life and fatherhood and stuff. And he said, she said, your jobs, make sure the door doesn't slam. Right. So because they record the sermons and they put them on Facebook live and things like that. So, so some lady came up with a wheelchair or something. I had to help her. Well, why did that? Someone else opened the door when they came out and the door slam comes up to me and he goes, you know, I told you it's important for the doorknob.
Speaker 3: He didn't ask [00:48:30] me why. And so I left, I left church. I didn't say anything to him then. And I went to a baby supply store. It was Burlington, baby's Burlington coat factory. And I said, I looked and they had these foam wedges that you put on the door, so it doesn't slam. Right. So the kid's fingers don't get caught. I came back, I bought like 10 of these things, right. They're like five bucks a piece, whatever. So I bring it back. And I, and I, there was two services. So I was able to get back there before he left. And I pulled him to the side and I said, [00:49:00] um, a couple of things I want to share with you. The first thing is, uh, just as a man, not as a Christian, if you ever talk to me like that again, you'll get probably thrown through the wall.
Speaker 3: Okay. Cause I'm here serving in a Gobby fashion and you're not going to talk to me or try to embarrass me in front of other people. When you don't know the circumstances, I'm a grown man. You're a grown man. We're both volunteering. Don't ever talk to me like that. Again, the other side of the note I said to him, I said, here's your solution? I said, but what I want you to understand is you've been in charge here for over a year, [00:49:30] for a year. I've been sitting in here listening to that door slam. And so what you've been doing is coming here, telling everybody not to let the door slam. So now I'm giving you a tool. So the door never slams again. So instead of telling people not to let something happen, why don't you be a problem-solver and go find a solution to the problem.
Speaker 3: And so instead of putting buckets under leaks, right. Fix the dang leak. Yeah. And so, you know, he looked at me and just, just pathologized, like he like made sense to him. Right. He was like, so I [00:50:00] said, look, I'm not mad at you, but just, you have to understand you're you're getting upset about something you could have fixed a long time ago. So I asked people, I use that as a, as a point in one of my sales, in many of my sales meetings, are you the person who complains about the doors slamming or are you a person who stops the door from slamming? Right. So there's a solution to everything. And so, so, so next thing I know these things, those things I got because they were just made for houses, they started ripping. So he, he comes up to me, he goes, Hey, don't worry.
Speaker 3: I got duct tape. [00:50:30] I made these things are never going to fall apart again, look how good they work. And he was a different person. So it was like an educational moment for him. But I think it was a moment for everybody. Cause I was able to share this story to so many people, like, don't be the guy that complains about the door slam and be the guy that solves the problem. Right. And so it's, that's, that's just how I am wired. I don't know, man. I don't know if it's unique or rare. I don't know if it's because of the way I was brought up. I don't know, but I just don't know why other people don't think like that, but [00:51:00] yeah,
Speaker 2: It's, it is funny. I can relate to you on that level because I'll, I'll ask what I think is a simple question with a simple solution, but maybe people get lost in the trees and don't see the forest. And I know I do that on occasion have to get drawn out so I can get back to 40,000 feet and see the big picture. But what do you, what do you think drives people into those inability to see what's going on?
Speaker 3: Well, because I think they're so focused on, they're worried about the, [00:51:30] they're worried about the here and now and you know, it, that's why inefficiencies happen in companies because they're, they're only were like, I it's a prime example. I was just at my Richmond office and I used the bucket analogy is I went into my call center and one of the complaints we had from our dealers were that there was long hold time. Right? And so I went in to find out, I'm like sitting there for two days, listening to calls, watching what's going on and what I'm seeing calls come in that really shouldn't be coming in. [00:52:00] And I said, well, why are these technicians calling 200 times a day? I want to say, oh, well, because when they get scheduled and install in the system, they're not assigned to a certain office. So every technician has a perimeter they're supposed to work in and each perimeter as an office.
Speaker 3: Well, every now and then, well more, more than now. And then quite often they get assigned an installed just outside their perimeter. Well, they can't see the customer. So they have to call in and say, can you change the office location so I can see the information. So I can go to the customer's house. This would take [00:52:30] 10 minutes. That's a long time on the phone, in a call center. So I said, this is ridiculous. So then one of my, one of my install directors was there and he said, um, yeah, I remember when I was in, I am same thing. We, you know, I'd have to take these calls all the time and it's been happening for years and I'm sitting there going, this is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. So I picked up the phone, I called one of my it, my code writers guy works our database.
Speaker 3: And I said, this is just, doesn't make sense to me. And he goes, well, explain to me what's going on. And I explained to him and he goes, give me, give me 10 minutes, [00:53:00] calls me back. He, he wrote code that now every morning it queries the installs to make sure the offices are lined up. Like that was just another bucket. You know, they were, they were taking this leak, putting the bucket in my office to solve the problem when they needed someone to go on the roof and fix the leak. And, and so in business you have a lot of buckets, right? That those are the inefficiencies. You're still getting it done. Right. But you it's costing you more time and money and effort than necessary. [00:53:30] And so I I've gotten, I've gotten to a point where instead of working in my business, I work on my business.
Speaker 3: And so these are the things like I, I told my manager, I was there and I literally was, I was like, I love this stuff. I love doing this because it's like, you're fixing real problems. You're you're, you're, you're, you're not just, but, but like you said, you used the word 40,000 feet, right? So I'm at 60,000 feet. The problem is when you're in the trenches, in the call center, all you have time that if you stick your head up, you get shot in the head. [00:54:00] Yeah. My job to say, guys, I see an easier route, right? Like I understand you're taking shots all day and you can't come out of your foxhole cause you're scared to get killed. You're just trying to accomplish what you're trying to accomplish. My job is to say, look, I made it safe for you to come out of the box. It's safe. Now look what we accomplished. Right? And so that in business, working on your business is different than working in your business.
Speaker 2: Completely agree. I've been lost in my business last couple months and I'm excited to be working back on
Speaker 3: It again. Big [00:54:30] difference. Isn't it truly, it
Speaker 2: Feels different just the way you feel
Speaker 3: A hundred percent because you, you start solving problems, you see efficiencies. If you pay attention to the ecosystem in your organization, you start seeing opportunities that technology can solve, right? And you don't have to hire more people and you know, just different. It's just streamlining. And I've used technology to the highest level of my organization to, to legitimately systematically change the way we [00:55:00] do things. So I've been real lucky to have good people around us. I got lucky to hire some good people that just are really good at solving problem. I'm good at identifying the problem. And I rely on that smart people to fix them. Right.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, man. Well, there you talking about being a doer. I want to get into some of my short answer questions for you. So like being a doer as a father, what's on your not to do with
Speaker 3: As a father. Yeah. [00:55:30] I think, uh, I think my biggest, one of the biggest mistakes I make is, um, I say everything that's on my mind to my kids. And I think sometimes I probably should just keep my mouth shut.
Speaker 2: Is that because your mind changes or is it because like,
Speaker 3: I need to hear it. I see things as so raw and sometimes the kids are fragile. [00:56:00] Right. And you know, I don't know, but like I'm sure every dad can relate to this is, is hygiene. For example, with kids, it's like, come on, man. I'm like, you had the coolest comedian said it best. He's like, he's like Joe, Joe, I can you're you're I'm over here. And I, and why do I smell you first? You're like four inches from your arm pain. Right? Why aren't you smelling you? You know? And so like I have I'm, I'm [00:56:30] probably pretty hard on them about their hygiene because I expect, I don't know. I just like, we have nice showers. Why aren't you, you know, why aren't you using it? I don't, I just don't get it. So my wife gives me a hard time all the time because I, I, she goes, you really don't need to say everything that's on your mind.
Speaker 3: You know that, right? Yeah. I don't know if I, I don't know if I'd have the ability not to, this is so, so simple to me. So I think for me, I think if you, the don'ts are, if I were to change anything, I would have let my kids get hit [00:57:00] in the face a lot more with outside stuff. And maybe I would have hit them a little bit less on the inside. You know what I'm saying? Like, I think if you, if you're too critical, you become like th they don't feel like they could ever please you. And I think, you know, I think at times I worry that my son feels like he doesn't satisfy me. And the reality is he does like, I'm so proud of him, what he's accomplished with everything that he's faced with. But, but I don't know. I've I was told [00:57:30] that your job as a dad is not to be their best friend it's to be there, you know, for them to grow up first. Right. Healthy, safe. And I just want what's best for them, Tyler. And I don't know if I'm doing it right or wrong. Be honest with you, you know?
Speaker 2: Uh, what's the biggest hope that you would have for your kids. Like what's, what's the, what would make you feel
Speaker 3: Like you do what they want to do? I don't give a talking about how much money they make. I don't care about any of that because the result is at the [00:58:00] end of the day, if I continue to do what I'm doing, they're going to, there'll be fine financially down the road, you know, uh, one recommendation, I would say for people who have portfolios who have successes, one of the things I was taught long time ago in our, in my, in my estate is that my kids are going to get equal distribution of, of our wealth. But what they, at a certain age, they'll get their portion. When my wife and I leave this earth. But until they hit that age, they [00:58:30] can only draw out to match their salary. Interesting. So, you know, now, if one of them becomes a school teacher, he's going to feel like he's getting punished, but he's going to have a lot more money when he hits do you're following Zion, total bigger payout at the end. But so it's not to punish them. It's just to drive them to want to do more. So if one of them make 500 grand a year, he's going to deplete his money much quicker than the guy making 50 grand a year. But they're still going to get the same amount of money. Does that make sense? Totally doing
Speaker 2: How are your kids to [00:59:00] not make a decision based on what the salary is? You know, to be a teacher has gotta be incredible, incredibly fulfilling. Otherwise, no one would do it for 33.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's the most underpaid position. I just want them to be just be them. I don't give a. I really, if my son says, I want to be the singing garbage man, I want to be the well-known garbage man in the history of garbage man. I'm to be like, dude, if you love what you do, if you love picking up garbage and you bring peace and happiness to [00:59:30] everybody, you talk to at work and be a good garbage man. I really like that. It's not what they do. I just want whatever they do to do it with excellence. If they care, if they clean, if they're janitors, I mean, I swear to you just whatever you do, do it with excellence. And I think that's to go back. I think that's probably the most frustrating thing that I, you say sweep the garage, right?
Speaker 3: It's half-ass not excellent. The best compliment [01:00:00] I ever received when I was in the military was Weinstein. You I've never seen a bathroom that clean. I don't like cleaning bathrooms. Tyler, the commander told me to clean the bathroom. You can bet your. It's going to be the cleanest bathroom that's ever been cleaned because I'm not going to do it half. I'm going to get behind it. I'm going to get underneath it. It's going to be done. Right. So if you tell me to do something, I am only programmed to do it the right way
Speaker 2: Trained in you. Or do you think you were conditioned to be that way?
Speaker 3: [01:00:30] I just think condition because I had to do so much. I mean the first, this true story, when I was five years old, I built my own bike. It had, I try to picture it. It was a, was a 10 speed frame with dirt bike forks, tiny tire on the front banana banana seat. And it had monkey handlebars. There was no breaks and it was a free, you know, a 10 speed FreeWheel and all parts I found at the dump and a pair of vice grips. I was five [01:01:00] years old. I built my own bike and you know, so I grew up building bikes and scrounging from the dump. And then I became a freestyler. I ended up bikes were my passion. I rode quarter pipes. And then I went from bikes to fun fact. I was, uh, I was, I think if I stuck with it, I would've went pro as a skateboarder.
Speaker 3: I was sponsored as a skateboarder. I was, I was before I went in the military. I mean, I was all doing all this stuff and I just poured, you know, I would get up at four in the morning, go to a parking lot with lights [01:01:30] and practice skating. It was just my, whatever I want to be good at. I put passionate, like my house. I have a golf studio. Like I don't do, like, I don't want shoot pool anymore because I'm not good at it anymore. And it doesn't bring me joy. I only want to do things that I feel like I'm good at. And if I'm going to do it, I'm going all in. So
Speaker 2: You're not saying you're not doing new things. You just, if you're going to start something new, you're going to do it until you're good at
Speaker 3: I got it. A hundred percent. I want to play the guitar so bad. I want to learn how to play [01:02:00] the guitar so bad, but I know I don't have time right now and I'm going to do it. And I I've already said to myself, when in 2023, when I 2023, I'll probably semi retire and just work on the board. I kind of have a plan. And, but that's what I mean. I will go full fledged, learn to play the guitar. I guarantee I'll learn how to play it. I believe you. It's just, I mean, it's just, I have a goal. I will not die without learning how to play the guitar. They might not be great at it, but I'm going to try, [01:02:30] you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Yeah. So if you, if you're writing a book about your life as a parent, what would be the name of some of the chapters?
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's a good question, man. Wow. Uh, being a dad, I can't afford chapter one was I can't believe I said that.
Speaker 3: I can't believe I said that y'all had a situation the other day where I told my son he was [01:03:00] upset and knew I was not that I said, dude, you're going to be 18 in two weeks. I said, here's the deal, man. You, uh, you get to do what you want when you're 18. I said, you can move out. I said, but you're just so you understand, you gotta drop off the stuff. That's not yours. The car, the phone. I'll give you a few pairs of shoes and a few outfits. But do you have credit to get your own apartment? Do you have like just, you know, and I was really just trying to make a point. And then he got in my face and he was like tears in his eyes. You really want me to, you [01:03:30] could have kicked me out when I'm 18.
Speaker 3: I'm like, I never said I was going to kick them out. You know, I never said that. What I'm saying is you're acting like you can do all this on your own. You're forgetting as a, as a parent. I think another chapter would be why, you know, something along the lines of why, can't why can't a teenager feel like he's part of the team, right? Teenagers want to be individual and I get it. But the teenagers, I think that become successful quickly and have a [01:04:00] lot of peace in their life is when they realize that the people at home are there to help them and not working against. I think my son feels like a lot of times we're working against him. Walls. I want is like excellence. I bought him a brand new Nissan Sentra, fully loaded leather, interior sport package. I mean, it's a Nissan Sentra. Right? I get it. Now he's upset that my wife, you know, we drive range rovers and our aides. And he said, people at school made fun of him for that car. And I was like, geez, you need some new friends, bro. Because I had a [01:04:30] 73 Pontiac Sunbird with duct tape on the sunroom. So it wouldn't leak. And don't like, don't like, are you kidding me? They're making funny. You have a brand new car. That's a dream card of some single moms buddy. You know?
Speaker 2: No, I totally agree. My first car was an 85 Volvo that my dad overpaid $3,500 for me. I still got the car. I didn't appreciate it at the time. But my dad gave me the car.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's hard to appreciate it, man. And so I think what would another chapter be? It would be, um, [01:05:00] I don't know ways to get them to appreciate things. I, I, I don't know how you ever do that. I mean, it's like, it's funny because my son, I took him to the super bowl. We're Patriot fans. So we've had just total success, right? The son is, my son doesn't know the Patriots when they sucked, know the page, his whole life for the last 20 years, he's 18. They've been, it's been a dynasty for 20 years and they've been to [01:05:30] nine Superbowls in 20 years and have one six of them like the stats are. So I took him to the super bowl against the giants at Lucas oil stadium and we lost and he was crying the whole time. But he said it was his farm, this fault that they lost.
Speaker 3: Cause he went there and I'm like, he was a little and I'm like, dude, I'm like dude. And I, and I told people, I said, it was such a better lesson for him to see them lose. If he won, he would have went to school and bragged. And he was more upset because [01:06:00] he said there was a jets fan that was going to make fun of him at school. And the reason he was upset because he was being somewhat of a jerk, bragging about the Patriots. And I always told them, I said, don't brag, dude. Just wear the logo. Like, you know what I mean? Like there's a saying in golf, Tyler, that act act like you've been there before. Never ruined a good shot with your mouth. Meaning let's say the pin is tucked far left, right against the water. And you hit a bit, you're, you're aiming for the right side of the green.
Speaker 3: You hit a hook and it lands three foot from the pin [01:06:30] will only, you know, need to know that you weren't trying to do that. You know what I'm saying? You got to say, man, I finally pulled it. So I T I teach like guys that, that are trying to go pro. I mean, I, I'm not as good as them. I'm a pretty good golfer, but I'm not as good as them, but I am psychologically. I, I know how to kind of overcome adversity. I said, you gotta, I said, when you hit a bad shot, you need this, you know, but it works out instead of letting your opponent know that you hit a bad shot, you should, you should say, I finally pulled [01:07:00] it off and just walk away because it's very psychological. Cause if you, if you're not dead, once it starts getting upset, you have. Now I look at bad shots as an opportunity to hit a great shot. Wow. If it's in the middle of the fairway, it's so much better when you got to punch it from under a tree and you bump and run it up the four feet. I mean, that's pretty awesome, right? Like, you know, hitting it on the green from the fairway, we're expected to do that. Right. So, you know, life is, I think until you end, till you [01:07:30] get punched in the mouth, you don't know what your game plan really is.
Speaker 2: Have you, uh, you ever done jiu-jitsu before? I
Speaker 3: Have not. I
Speaker 2: Just did my second class yesterday and I brought my four year old daughter to class. Yeah. Just started my neck is sore as today. I spent three hours between the two days learning my place in the world. I got really good at tapping out. Yeah. It's like, it was, [01:08:00] it was a big slice of humble. They
Speaker 3: Probably weren't even being that hard on you.
Speaker 2: They just play with you until they don't feel like playing with you. I outweighed these guys by 20 pounds. I could dead lift or bench twice there. You know what? They just
Speaker 3: Kept getting you in different. Put it
Speaker 2: Technique the idea for me, it was if I can get my daughter into this and she got her butt kicked by another four year old, she didn't know the difference between winning and losing. And if she [01:08:30] blues she'd tap out and then smile. Look at me, give me the thumbs up and go again. It's like, if she knows, she doesn't know what I know the world. Hadn't conditioned us to compare ourselves to other people and winning and losing. But it's an immediate feedback to know where you are to lose and then go again. And I felt like it, that will build resilience. My daughter, she sticks to it. And you just made me think of that because I'm so fresh off of it. But what an incredible [01:09:00] practice, I think that is. And you're okay. You just be okay losing because you get to go, you have to get your up and go right again.
Speaker 3: I want to, I want to take a second to compliment my kids. I was just thinking about something. You talk about resilience and stuff, but I think something I've seen my kids do that. They shine and I just, it makes me so happy is they are so anti-bully, I've taught them to hate bullies and to protect the weak, right? [01:09:30] Because I, when I was at school, I just couldn't stand. Seeing people bullied. It just used to make me so angry. And so they were very, very aware of that. And then I see them interact with less capable kids and handicap kids. And, and it just, it makes me feel so good to know that they have, I've had parents come up to me and say, Hey, your son is, was so nice to my kid when everybody was ignoring him, I just want to say, thank you. And it's like, it's, it's weird because you're like, it's so powerful to hear that [01:10:00] because you can't like, that's not that's in his heart. You know what I'm saying? It's hard. He was doing something when he didn't know anybody who was paying attention.
Speaker 2: That's
Speaker 3: Beautiful. It is beautiful. And it's, and I think about that and I have to, I, I need to think you got me thinking more about that because it's so isn't it so easy to focus on the flaws. We focus so much on the floor. I joke around because it's, you know, for me, my son, I always say, you know, like, [01:10:30] cause it used to drive me nuts. You'd take our showers. Right. And I'm like, dude, you still smell like sweat. I mean, something smells like [inaudible]. So it was just, we joked around about that because we were like, how can you be in the shower for an hour and come out and still have body odor. But that's still one thing I have not been able to just ignore me. Not because you have the means. I would go days without Shannon because we didn't [01:11:00] have hot water.
Speaker 3: My mom literally would have to boil water on the stove. We had a gas stove, put it in the sink, mix it with cold water and give me a bath in the sink. We would keep the oven open for heat. Wow. You know? And so it was just, it is what it is. And so, you know, we've had people throw boulders to our door throughout with none. We grew up in the projects, you know? And like I, every, they have everything they need, they have $50 bottle of cologne. [01:11:30] They have dealers, they have toothpaste, they have showers, they have clean towels. They have clean clothes. They have everything they need yet. They still walk out of the room with dirty clothes on them. It's like, really dude, like it's, I don't know if that's part of being a teenager or if I did a crappy job, teaching them about that stuff.
Speaker 3: I don't know the answer to that. I talked to other parents and it cracks me up. And there was a comedian, Joe coy, this Filipino guy who talks about hygiene on his 12 year old. And it's so funny. We had our kids watch it. We all laughed. And they laughed together because [01:12:00] it was so right. You know, it was, he talks about kids, kids, breath in his armpits. And, and even my son was laughing because, you know, I just, I got to a point now where I just, I said, dude, I just want you to know. I love you have a great day. You stink.
Speaker 3: All right. So let's see, I'm going to ask you. Who's your favorite television dad. Oh, wow. Favorite television. Dad used [01:12:30] to be bill Cosby, bill Cosby. You know what? I grew up a lot watching. It was a little house in the Prairie. Yeah, I did. What was it? What was it about the dad there? He was hardworking and he was compassionate in, he loved his kids so much. It was just, you could just see. So I think I liked it so much. Cause you saw it at night. When they go to bed, you just saw mom and dad there and [01:13:00] they're reading. And I don't know if I watched it inadvertently seeking that wishing I had that. But I think when I think back as a kid, I would probably say the data on little house on the Prairie and growing pains was another one.
Speaker 3: Uh, was it, uh, Kirk. Cameron was in it. Oh, was it uh, who was the dad and growing pains? Um, he passed away his son. His, uh, his son's [01:13:30] the, the Fox? Nope, not Michael J. Fox. Oh, what the heck is his name? Oh, I can't think of it. It's going to pop into your head. I'm going to have to Google it Tyler, because it's driving me nuts. Dad, in growing pains, you, you you've known him. He, I think he just passed away. Alan Thicke. Yeah, of course. Robin thick, thick Canadian guys. He was a cool dad too. You know, like it just [01:14:00] remember that, you know, watching those shows and it was Hollywood, you know, it was my sense of fantasy wishing I would always go hang out at friend's. Is that it was interesting growing. I never was able to have sleepovers at my house, but I went to a school that was sort of in between a nice area in the hood.
Speaker 3: So it was a public school, so it was mixed. And so I was able to do sleepovers at other. People's always, I think back the parents would like give me care packages when I left, I thought [01:14:30] it was the coolest thing I got. They would give me clothes, food to take home. And I'm like, nice. But really what? They, they just felt bad for me. Cause I would come over with dirty clothes on no toothbrush, no change for tomorrow. And you know, just go to do a sleepover and I'd come home with a new outfit.
Speaker 2: Got it. So hard to think about like, I can't fathom that life.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I wouldn't change it, but it is what it is, man. I mean, you know, when you're a kid, you just it's all hand [01:15:00] me downs. But, but it wasn't abnormal to me. Yeah. You don't like if you grow up in, if you grew up in a jungle and a tribe, you don't know any different. I could never live in a jungle and yes you could. If you were born into it and you don't know any different, the only reason, the only reason we miss TV is because we know what TV is, right? Like if you never had something, how can you not miss? How can you miss it? Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah. That makes perfect sense. Tim Ferris. I don't know if you've listened to me as [01:15:30] one of them. One of my favorite questions I steal from him. It's the a billboard question. You know, imagine you're on I four going 80 miles an hour. You like, you must not be in the heart of the city. You're you're out somewhere else. If you're going 80 miles an hour, you've got a billboard and you get all the dads, see this billboard and you get to, they get, it's gotta be legible, but you can put a message on there to all the dads. There's a piece
Speaker 3: Wasting time is murdering opportunity. Wasting time [01:16:00] is murdering opportunity. I, I say that a lot because every day that goes by that you don't take action on goals, dreams, and aspirations. Every day, that goes by that. You don't tell someone that you really love that you love them every day. That goes by that you don't pour into your family or think about what's next wasting time is murdering opportunity and procrastination is the assassin to success. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I love it. Gift. This is one of my favorite questions too. It's just kind of a stealing [01:16:30] from Tim Ferriss too. If you could,
Speaker 3: We all still, by the way, Tyler and stuff, this is how it works. Let me tell you how this works in. When you take someone's information. So the first time you use it, you're going to say Tim Ferris always says right, and the next time you use it, the second time you use it, you'll say a friend of mine uses this statement. The third time it's yours. You own it. You don't ever have to say Tim Ferris anymore. It's yours. If you've used it three times, you got to own it.
Speaker 2: I've got this great question that I own [01:17:00] that I'm going to ask you now a gift. If you could give a gift of whatever you can think of to every father on the planet, what would that gift be?
Speaker 3: Something I lack tremendously patients. I think, I think if you could be, if you could be patient and ask yourself before you react, is it really gonna matter tomorrow? Next week or next [01:17:30] year is what I'm upset about? Like it, can I not react, have enough patients? I always can. I have enough patients not to react to try to understand what's really happening so I can truly make a difference. As a dad. Patients is definitely patients,
Speaker 2: Patients. All right. I got two more questions. Ah, three more questions. So this one is, uh, was provided to me by a friend. [01:18:00] And, uh, it is when do you feel the most loved?
Speaker 3: Well, my kids are happy and when my, when I'm with my family and all the stars are lined up, when it's hard, it went, it was going to try to put this in words, it's, it's as simple as the four of us sitting together and our kids' phones kids. [01:18:30] Aren't buried into the phones and they're talking to me about exciting things in their life. And, and like, I feel like I'm actually part of part of something with them. I don't know if I'm putting it in the right context, but so many times I feel like I'm constantly just being there, the thumb on their head, you know, get this done, get this done where I think I miss out so much on how much they really do love me. So when I stop [01:19:00] everything I'm doing and I'm only focused on them and I realized that there is reciprocation in the amount of love.
Speaker 3: I give them sometimes I'm so blinded, by the way, I process things that I view too many things as being disrespected instead of as this is a normal growth process for these kids. So for me, it's when, when I'm engaged, as simple as my son telling me a funny story, that he's willing to come home and share a cool story with me. Yeah. [01:19:30] You know what I'm saying? It's like, it has no meaning to anything other than to him. And the fact that he took the time to share that with me and I can laugh and say, that's cool. That's funny. I love you, man. It just to feel like he to feel like he sees me as part of his life. They, my boys
Speaker 2: On Monday, I took my daughter to the first class. It was daddy daughter time for like three hours, just the two of us. And when we got home, she followed me around everywhere. [01:20:00] I'd sit down, she'd sit next to me, stand up. She'd walk next to me. And it wasn't like holding my hand. It wasn't sitting in my, it was just sitting next to me. And it felt like the love that moms get all
Speaker 3: The time, all the time, bro. I don't want to
Speaker 2: Cry that. I'll never have a love that
Speaker 3: A hundred percent man. And, and, and I think as dads, we have this hard persona, right? We're we're the, you know, my wife is a stay home mom and you know, she's, she does a lot, you know, for the family, but at [01:20:30] the, at the same token, it's like, we, we are so focused on having to get stuff done that I think we, you know, a lot of times I'll come home. And I, I think, you know, if you were to ask my wife the most time she feels unloved is probably when I get home and I'm trying to decompress. Yeah. And I'm not listening to her day. You know what I mean? Like, I can't believe you're talking to you about this right now. Do you realize what my day was like? And that's selfish of me to even think like that as if her day doesn't matter to her.
Speaker 3: [01:21:00] I always tell, I tell my wife this and I have practiced. What I preach is when a kid tells you he's upset about something. And I would tell this to all dads, don't brush it under the rug. Like if someone says, man, if she broke up with me and I loved her and endorsing Zayas, you don't know what love is. Like, how do you know what love is this young? Well, if you're a Christian and you, and you say, Jesus has, God is love. And they say they're Christian. And they believe in God. Well then how can you say that? They don't know what love is. Right? So it's, it's unfair for an adult [01:21:30] to tell a young person and kids end up doing terrible things to themselves and go into great depression because they get conflicting messages from their parents. Like they, I was in love when I was a kid.
Speaker 3: I at least I thought I was, and then my heart was broken. And then, you know, my mom had compassion for that. Parents don't always have compassionate. Like you don't know how love is, man. We talking about get over it. Yeah. That's that's that then you're telling you, then you're, you're telling your kid that he [01:22:00] does that his feelings and emotions are not real. Yeah. They're very real. I would say, no matter where your kids are at in life, give validity to their feelings. I think we discount their feelings. Do you think a kid can
Speaker 2: Love a parent? As much as a parent can love a kid?
Speaker 3: I think a kid naturally loves his parent, but doesn't recognize it always until later in life. I think when push comes to shove, like my son, my oldest son, you know, he can be really, [01:22:30] really hard on his mom. And, but I, whenever I watch, whenever there's desperation in need, I see him full like a lawn chair and just mom's mom's care and mom's arms. You know what I'm saying? There's a certain love that a mom can give the dads just don't have. Yeah. It's not a fair comparison because ma like, think about how natural survival is in the wild, w w they're [01:23:00] designed to survive and protect. You know, I watched, um, there was, there was a, yesterday, there was a, a goose with baby geese and one of the baby geese get hit by a car and the mother would not leave the dead goose. They're just stood right in the middle of the road with their other babies. And didn't know what to do.
Speaker 3: That's maternal instincts. When a bear attacks you, cause you're near his caught there, her Cub, it's a maternal instinct, right? You [01:23:30] can't. So if you think the animals in the wild are do that and they do it without, without any recourse, realizing that if they kill somebody, there's no recourse to them. Right. It is what it is in life. We have recourse because we are programmed with emotions and feelings and we have results. We have, uh, consequences to our actions. And so, but the maternal instinct is so powerful. You can't run from it. My, my wife's really maternal and I'm maternal, but, [01:24:00] but I'm also like, um, feel like I'm at the point where it's like, alright, now it's time for you to go find your own way. Yeah. You know? Not, not without my love, not without the car. I bought. Yah. Not without the clothes I've given you, not without the money in the bank, I'm giving you, but it's time to go. Yeah. Yeah. You gotta leave the nest kid gotta leave the nest because you become a man at some point. All right,
Speaker 2: Let me get, what kind of father do you want to be remembered as
Speaker 3: Hard worker love, you know, compassionate dad. [01:24:30] Yeah. I have a feeling. People are going to say I'm feeling when, when it comes to the job, my kids are going to describe me as my dad was tough, but I always knew how much he loved me. I hope, I hope that I hope it's not. My dad was an because I know for a fact they've said it
Speaker 2: Probably with just cause,
Speaker 3: Um, I'm like hard on stupid things, but, but I've learned, I mean, as early on, I've learned [01:25:00] to lighten up a little bit. Yeah. I think if I would've had it, I couldn't even imagine if I think God, I told my wife, I said, God really looked out for me. I said, I know we didn't want to lose two daughters, but we ended up two sons because I got, I don't know how I could handle two daughters. I would've been way protective, tough one. But
Speaker 2: I think, I think they condition you over time. You know? Like [01:25:30] you th I, I asked people with older daughters, you know, how do you, how do you manage, you know, boys being in their life and stuff. And I, and I think they start prepping you for it early. Like in when they're four, they come home with a crush on whoever. And you just, you're always uncomfortable a little bit. You're never like super uncom.
Speaker 3: Um, you don't want nobody touching your baby, you know, it's like, and that's going to be your baby forever. But at some point you're going to walk her down the aisle. Right. And you know, and [01:26:00] you don't think about it like that when they become adults. But when they're kids like, whoa, it was way too soon. But, you know, I mean, I started way too young because I had no supervision, but yeah, I want to be remembered. I want to be remembered as a, as somebody who cared, somebody who, who really looked out for his kids and I worked hard, you know?
Speaker 2: So this is my last question for you. Your boys are going to have kids. They're going to have kids. Those [01:26:30] kids are going to have kids in the event, this message, this audio lasts for eternity. What's a message that you would want to pass along to your family forever.
Speaker 3: Making me dig into my Rolodex. That's a good question, Tyler. I mean, that's a really good question and I'm glad you, you didn't ask me ahead of time and give me time to think about it because I don't know if I would've given, you know, I would probably gave you [01:27:00] a Google dancer. You know what I mean? That's what I love about this conversation. It's just authentic. There's no, there's no prep, right? I mean, people are getting authenticity, probably in the same
Speaker 2: Questions, but I've only asked four of
Speaker 3: Them. You didn't give me those questions. What would I want? My great, great, great, great grandkids to know about me. Or
Speaker 2: You got, you got two minutes to [01:27:30] say whatever you want.
Speaker 3: Well, I hope, I think what I think what I hope, what I hope is that I will be the first example in my family of till death do us part as, uh, as parents. Right? I, I remember on my 20th anniversary, I told my, my wife says to me, she says, 20 years, can you believe it? And of course, with a smile, I look at, I go, you know, I was thinking, man, if I would've killed you the first time I wanted to, I'd probably be on a good behavior [01:28:00] on her.
Speaker 3: Of course she knows my humor. If we had a dime for every time someone said to my wife, how do you do it? She's a strong woman because I'm always, you know, I'm, I'm a fun guy. Joke. I say things off color, but I always do it with a smile. And I think good, good humor is when you can, you can say things that you don't really mean, but Sam, like, it mean it, but they know you don't mean it. You know what I mean? Like have fun, but I [01:28:30] would, I would want, I would want them to see an example. Hopefully we set an example where my kids realized that through the good, the bad and the ugly that, that you don't run you. I probably in my life, we've gone through, you think about it losing two kids, wife, having a stroke, diabetes, all these different things.
Speaker 3: This is when my wife and I get in heated moments. I say to her, yeah, it sucks right now. But just remember who your rock is like. Um, I haven't left. Yeah. Maybe I'm not perfect [01:29:00] in certain, but I have not left. I laid down next to you every single night. No matter what happens, I've never slept on a couch. I don't sleep in a different room. I'm always here. And I might not always be happy to be here because you know, that's called marriage, man. It's not perfect. Right. So I've learned to be more patient. I've learned to be more compassionate. I've learned to let things brush off my shoulder a little bit, even though, and I've gotten my car and screamed, you know what I mean? But, but [01:29:30] I've always come home. I never not come home. And so I hope that my grandkids, I hope that when they find their mate and their partner in, I think I hope that they, I hope they view us as a good example.
Speaker 3: Right? Not, I hope my kids, I hope at the end of the day, my kids view me as an example of what to do, not what not to do because I viewed my dad is what not to do. Yeah. Right. I want my kids to view me as what to do. And so, you know, someone said [01:30:00] something to me the other day that really made me my heart just kind of mush was, um, I was frustrated with my son and I, we have a lot, I have a lot of good friends and they, they are very interested in my kids. Right. And they show interest in my kids. And he said to me, he goes, dude, I know you're upset. I know that he's giving you a hard time. He goes, but I've talked to him. And your son, all she wants to do is impress you. And the only reason he lies [01:30:30] to you about certain things is, and he knows he's always going to get caught, but he he's trying to avoid disappointing you at the moment. Yeah. He would rather delay the disappointment than see the pain on your face, face to face. And so it took me a minute to realize, and then I just think, think back I lied to my mom zillion times, Tyler. I mean, God, if I was honest with my mom, she would have had me put down.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean? Like [01:31:00] it's, I always say like, I don't know if I'm more upset that my son does things that he shouldn't do and it's not horrific. Don't get me wrong. It's not like we have like drug problems or anything in my house. It's not that it's just, it's other, it's silly things. But I feel like if you don't take care of the little things, they turn into big things. Right. It's like if I was straight forward, oh my gosh. I just don't like to be lied to, but I've, I've, I've lightened up a little bit. I say to my, I actually, [01:31:30] I actually stick up for him sometimes when he's not telling the truth. I said, babe, you would, wouldn't you try to avoid telling us, disappointing us. If you made a mistake like that, like, come on. Like don't lighten up a little, let's lighten up a little bit. You know, the reason he's doing this is because he's upset and he's angry with himself and he's mad at himself and he's, don't make, let's not make it about you. And I let's think about his perspective hopefully to answer your question. I hope it's. I hope that we were an [01:32:00] example of what to do, not what? Not to do a good enough answer, but that's that's what's on my heart.
Speaker 2: No, I think that's an awesome answer. And has learned a lot talking to you. I appreciate your time. Thanks so much for being on the podcast and sharing your experiences. No doubt. Anybody that listens to it is going to get great stuff out of it from parenting to, to selling man.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's I think it all, I think it all goes hand in hand. Tyler. I think, you know, you're, [01:32:30] you're, you're a good salesman. You can sell your way through parenthood to keeping kids happy as a constant sales pitch. Right. Obviously a great salesperson. Cause she melts me for two anniversaries.

How would I write an Automator action or Applescript to paste or type a word in every single font? The screenshot is what I have so far. The hitch I'm running into is in the "make a selection from the popupbutton" stage. Because Pages keeps a list of the last 6 fonts you used, you can't just click on the font drop-down and press "down". You'd have to do it at least 6 times, then "n+1" every single time afterward, and Automator doesn't let me edit the results of recording UI actions. | eng | b99f5aea-d336-4711-b69b-25f43a2a2756 | https://apkknow.com/applescript-automator-action-to-paste-a-word-in-all-fonts/ |

SEO is a subset of Search Engine Marketing. SEO is also referred as SEO copyrighting, because most of the techniques that are used to promote sites in search engines, deal with text
– About 80% of internet ser sessions begin at the search engines – About 55 of online purchases are made on sites found through search engine listing
Search Engine:
Search Engine is a tool that enables users to locate information on the World Wide Web. Search Engines use keywords entered by the users to find Web sites which contain the information like. Major Search Engines are: Google , Yahoo, MSN , Bing etc…
The best search engine Worldwide is Google. According to the recent statistics, Google is the most popular search engine with stunning 87.35% market share
SEO Techniques:
SEO techniques are classified into two broad categories:
• White Hat SEO – Techniques that search engines recommend as part of a good design
• Black Hat SEO – Techniques that search engines do not approve and attempt to minimize the effect of these techniques are also known as spamdexing.
White Hat SEO
A SEO tactic is considered as White Hat , if it has the following features:
• It conforms to the search engine's guidelines.
• It does not involve in any deception • It ensures that the content a search engine indexes, and subsequently rank is the same content a user will see. • It ensures that a web page content should have been created and not just for the search engines
• It ensures good quality of the web pages
• It ensures availability of useful content on the web pages
We should always follow a White Hat SEO tactics and do not try to fool your site visitors .
Black Hat SEO or Spamdexing
An SEO tactic is considered as Black Hat or Spamdexing if it has the following features:
• Attempting ranking improvements that are disapproved by the search engines or involve deception • Redirecting users to a page that is built for search engines to one that is more human friendly • Redirecting users to a page that was different from the page the search engine ranked
• Serving one version of a page to search engine spiders/bots and another version to human visitors. This is called Cloaking SEO tactic.
• Using hidden and invisible text or with the page background colour, using a tiny font size or hiding them within the HTML code such as frame sections
• Repeating keywords in the Meta tags, and using keywords that are unrelated to the website content. This is called Meta tag stuffing
Creating a rogue copy of a popular website which shows contents similar to the original to a web crawler, but redirects web surfers to unrelated or malicious websites. This is called Page hijacking
We should always stay away from any above Black Hat Tactics to improve rank of the site .

Just a simple video we shot for Milwaukee Cycles, to promote their chainring guard, the Stout. I know a lot of people don't like the way chainring grinds look on fixed gears, but man, it's a lot of fun. When you can dial in a long-ass grind on a nice waxed ledge, on the same bike you ride to work on and pretty much spend most your time on while riding, it's worth something!

Product support
Agile Feature
Relevant templates
Agile Feature
A feature in Agile development is a distinct and valuable functionality or user capability that contributes to the overall objectives of a software project. It is typically a customer-facing aspect of the software that can be developed, tested, and delivered independently, often represented as a user story or item on the product backlog.
What Is a Feature in Agile?
In the dynamic world of agile software development, the term "feature" plays a pivotal role. It represents a fundamental unit of work, a building block of functionality that serves as the core component for delivering value to customers.
Understanding what a feature is, why it's crucial in Agile, and how to craft effective feature descriptions is essential for successful project management and product development.
Why Use Features in Scrum and Not Only User Stories
In Agile methodologies like Scrum, user stories have long been the favored means of defining and managing requirements.
These user-centric narratives encapsulate specific end-user needs and act as the driving force behind software development. However, features offer distinct advantages that complement user stories, making them indispensable in Agile workflows.
The Power of Features
Features provide a broader context for user stories. While user stories focus on individual user needs, features encompass a more comprehensive view of functionality. They serve as a container for multiple related user stories, helping teams organize their work efficiently.
Moreover, features can represent internal improvements, technical enhancements, or regulatory compliance, which may not directly translate into user stories but are equally crucial for a successful product.
In Scrum, the product backlog primarily consists of user stories, but the inclusion of features allows for a more balanced approach. This mix ensures that user needs are met while addressing technical, architectural, and business considerations.
Epics vs Features vs Capabilities in Agile
In Agile terminology, several terms are often used interchangeably or in tandem, leading to some confusion. Clarifying the distinctions between epics, features, and capabilities can help teams better structure and manage their projects.
Epics
Epics are the largest units of work in Agile development. They are overarching themes or initiatives that encapsulate numerous features and user stories. Epics provide a strategic view of a project and help prioritize work on a broader scale.
For example, "Enhance Security" could be an epic that includes multiple security-related features and user stories.
Features
Features, as mentioned earlier, are self-contained units of functionality. They are more granular than epics and serve as the bridge between user stories and high-level project objectives. A feature might encompass several user stories related to a specific aspect of the software, such as "User Authentication."
Capabilities
Capabilities are often used at an even higher level than epics. They represent long-term, ongoing organizational goals that may span multiple projects. While epics and features are specific to individual projects, capabilities reflect an organization's strategic intent. For instance, "Become a Market Leader in Mobile Banking" could be a capability.
Example of Well-Written Feature Description
Well-defined features serve as a roadmap for the development team, aligning everyone's understanding of the desired functionality.
Here are some examples of well-written feature descriptions:
Feature: Social Media Sharing
Description: Allow users to share their achievements, content, and progress on various social media platforms, enhancing user engagement and expanding the product's reach.
Feature: Payment Gateway Integration
Description: Implement secure payment processing through popular payment gateways, including PayPal and Stripe, enabling users to make seamless transactions within the app.
Feature: Advanced Search Filters
Description: Enhance the search functionality by adding advanced filters such as date range, category, and location, providing users with more precise and efficient search results.
How Usersnap Can Help with Feature Validation and Template for Using Usersnap
Feature validation is a critical step in Agile development, ensuring that implemented features meet user expectations and function seamlessly.
One invaluable tool for this purpose is Usersnap, which simplifies the feedback and validation process. Here's how Usersnap can assist in feature validation, along with a template for using it effectively:
Feature Validation with Usersnap
Visual Feedback: Usersnap allows users to provide feedback visually by capturing screenshots and annotating them. This helps in precisely identifying issues or areas of improvement within a feature. | eng | 12710821-b7b4-419d-8f2f-32842f0d2664 | https://usersnap.com/glossary/agile-feature |
Implementing DevSecOps for better security
In today's fast-paced digital landscape, ensuring the security of software applications is of paramount importance. Cyber threats are constantly evolving, making traditional security measures inadequate. To tackle this challenge effectively, businesses are turning to DevSecOps – a revolutionary approach that integrates security into the entire software development lifecycle. In this article, we will explore the concept of DevSecOps and how its implementation can significantly improve the overall security posture of organizations.
What is DevSecOps?
DevSecOps is a collaborative methodology that brings together Development (Dev), Security (Sec), and Operations (Ops) teams to work in unison throughout the software development process. Unlike the traditional approach where security is an afterthought, DevSecOps infuses security from the very beginning. It involves automating security practices, integrating security tools, and fostering a culture of shared responsibility among all stakeholders.
The Benefits of DevSecOps
By adopting DevSecOps practices, businesses can reap a multitude of benefits. First and foremost, it enables early detection and mitigation of security vulnerabilities, reducing the likelihood of cyberattacks. Additionally, the continuous monitoring and automated security checks ensure that security remains intact even as the software evolves. DevSecOps also facilitates faster development cycles, as security measures are seamlessly integrated, eliminating bottlenecks.
Culture of Collaboration: DevSecOps fosters a culture where developers, security experts, and operations teams collaborate closely. This collaboration ensures that security is everyone's responsibility, leading to a proactive security approach.
Continuous Integration and Delivery (CI/CD): CI/CD pipelines enable the automatic integration of security checks into the development process. It helps in quickly identifying and rectifying vulnerabilities, leading to safer and more reliable software releases.
Container Security: With the rise of containerized applications, DevSecOps focuses on container security to ensure that containers are adequately hardened and continuously monitored for potential threats.
Getting Started with DevSecOps
Embracing DevSecOps might seem challenging, but the benefits outweigh the effort. Begin by conducting a comprehensive security assessment and identifying potential areas of improvement. Develop a tailored DevSecOps strategy that aligns with your organization's specific requirements and culture. Engage with a trusted DevSecOps service provider, such as GLOBUS.studio, to guide you through the implementation journey seamlessly.
In conclusion, the era of DevSecOps has ushered in a new paradigm for software security. By bringing together development, security, and operations teams, organizations can enhance their security posture significantly. DevSecOps empowers businesses to identify and mitigate security issues proactively, ensuring that applications are robust and resilient to cyber threats. Embrace DevSecOps today, and fortify your software against the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity threats. | eng | b12f64c7-3e74-44d3-a164-6897f7a4db02 | https://globus.studio/implementing-devsecops-for-better-security/ |

In April, the HEDCO Institute released findings from our first review on school-based depression prevention programs for K-12 students. Understanding the benefits of these programs on youth outcomes such as mental health, student well-being, and educational achievement, is important given that depression is one of the most common mental health challenges facing students today, affecting nearly 5 million youth. If you haven't yet read those findings, you can read the overview here and the full technical results here, but a brief spoiler – we found, on average, students in depression prevention programs had less severe depression symptoms compared to students in control groups.
More research is needed to build a body of evidence for culturally specific depression prevention programs
One of the most frequently asked questions we receive about the review is: "But will these programs work for my school, with my student population?" More specifically, many educators are interested in programs that are culturally specific. Yet in this review, only 31% of reviewed studies reported the race and ethnicity of their student sample, and just 33% offered information on cultural tailoring of their programs. Because of this, we were not able to evaluate whether depression prevention programs were more or less effective for students from different racial or ethnic backgrounds or based on the cultural specificity of interventions. But this is an especially critical issue because youth from racially or ethnically marginalized communities are more likely to have unmet mental health needs and less likely to receive timely and appropriate mental health services.
Cultural adaptation of interventions can help address racial and ethnic disparities
Taking existing interventions and adapting them for different student populations is an important method for tailoring interventions for students from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds. This process of cultural adaptation or cultural tailoring can occur at multiple levels of an intervention. For example, cultural adaptation of a program may alter who delivers an intervention or where the intervention is delivered. Adaptation might also attend to the cultural sensitivity of program materials, for example, language, imagery used, or the adaptation of how different skills or psychoeducation are framed, and finally, to the adaptation of core components of an intervention.
Given the opportunity for school-delivered prevention programs to address the unique needs of students from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds, we'll focus this post on depression prevention programs that are making steps toward intentional design for students, individuals, and families from historically marginalized communities. First, we describe two promising programs: Rise Above and Strong African American Families – Teen.
Rise Above is a depression prevention program intentionally designed for Latina/o youth
Online programs have been proposed as one solution to reduce barriers to depression prevention program access for adolescents, and web-based programs can often be easily integrated into school settings. One such program, Rise Above or Siempre Sale el Sol is an online depression prevention program specifically designed for Latina/o youth. Cultural tailoring included choice of language (Spanish or English), infusion of cultural values such as personalismo and use of cultural metaphors to improve engagement with program content and skills practice. In this intervention, the content, concepts of depression, and descriptions of treatments for depression were all presented using cultural rationales to increase engagement and relevance of the program for Latina/o adolescents. To date, this program has been qualitatively evaluated by mental health clinicians who provide services to the Latina/o/x population. Although this study was not eligible for inclusion in our review, this intervention offers a promising approach for beginning to build broader, culturally relevant, and accessible services to support the mental health of Latina/o/x youth.
Strong African American Families – Teen is a family-centered prevention program that effectively prevents depression in teens
SAAF-T is another example of a culturally specific intervention designed to prevent negative outcomes and support the positive development of African American adolescents. Some key examples of culturally intentional design include teaching parents flexible racial socialization guidance that can assist them in helping their teens navigate experiences of discrimination and for teaching adolescents about ways to respond to racism. This program also explicitly incorporates African American cultural values into sessions.
Although SAAF-T was originally designed as a treatment, more recent research has documented that delivery in adolescence can serve as prevention against depression symptoms, substance use, and delinquency for nearly two years following completion of the program. Program developers note that the manualized nature of the program may support the implementation of SAAF-T in schools, but to our knowledge this program has not yet been tested in schools and was not included in our overview as a result. Educators can read more about the evidence base of SAAF-T here.
Culturally tailored programs
Though many of the programs in our review didn't account for adaptations for different student populations, we'll highlight two studies that outlined cultural adaptations or testing with students from diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds.
The Resourceful Adolescent Program-Adolescent (RAP-A), endorsed by the California Evidence-Based Clearinghouse as a well-supported program, is a depression prevention program included in our recent review. RAP-A has undergone cultural adaptation and can serve as an example of the essential steps that researchers can take to ensure that programs address the cultural and contextual relevance for diverse students.
Specifically, this program has been culturally adapted for Indigenous youth in Australia. Program developers involved the voices of Aboriginal communities in Australia in the adaptation process, compiling recommendations from those communities who had implemented the un-adapted version of RAP-A in their schools. Adaptations included supporting the cultural match between students and program deliverers (Indigenous tutors and education assistants delivering the intervention to Indigenous students), and modifications to the interpersonal and cognitive components of the program. The RAP-A adaptation for Indigenous youth has been evaluated and shown to be effective across four secondary schools in rural Australia.
It is fundamental for researchers to evaluate programs to understand potential variability in benefits for students from different racial and ethnic backgrounds and to ensure those programs are not causing harm. One program reviewed by the HEDCO Institute was the Penn Resiliency Program. Although this program was not designed to be culturally specific, it has been tested and shown effective in preventing depression in samples of students entirely composed of youth who identified as Latina/o and Black, with positive effects for Latina/o students, specifically. For school professionals interested in learning more about the Penn Resiliency Program, including its evidence base, you can find more information here.
In sum, these programs highlight important efforts to ensure that communities of color have access to effective and culturally relevant depression prevention services. Yet findings from the depression prevention overview discussed here show that significantly more work is needed to ensure that culturally specific programs are being developed and tested in partnership with students, families, and communities who have been historically marginalized. This work should be accompanied by efforts aimed at addressing risks at individual and systemic levels to address structural inequities that contribute to the persistent racial disparities in mental health and service receipt among youth. | eng | 6ac76729-3900-416e-9d9c-eae57853ee56 | https://hedcoinstitute.uoregon.edu/blog/1/culturally-specific-depression-prevention-programs |

Uncovering the Hidden Danger: What is Cryptojacking and How to Stop it
Cryptojacking is a growing threat that is silently damaging businesses all over the world. With cybercrime becoming more sophisticated, it's important to be aware of the latest tactics and understand how to defend against them. In this comprehensive guide, we will be discussing what cryptojacking is, how it works, the risks and consequences it poses, and most importantly, how to detect and prevent it.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!
Introduction: What is Cryptojacking?
Cryptojacking is a type of cyber attack that involves the unauthorized use of someone else's computer resources to mine cryptocurrency. Unlike traditional malwareattacks that are designed to steal sensitive data, the goal of cryptojacking is to use the target's computing power to mine digital currency, such as Bitcoin or Monero, for the attacker's benefit.
How Cryptojacking Works
The process of cryptojacking works by the attacker injecting malicious code into a vulnerable website or computer system. When the target visits the infected website or opens a malicious file, the code runs in the background and starts mining cryptocurrency using the target's computing power. The miner then sends the mined cryptocurrency to the attacker's wallet.
The Risks and Consequences of Cryptojacking
Cryptojacking not only slows down the target's computer, but it also poses a risk to the security of the network. As the malicious code is running in the background, it can also open the door to other types of cyberattacks, such as malware or data theft.
Furthermore, cryptojacking can also result in increased energy costs as the target's computer is using more power to mine cryptocurrency. This can be especially damaging for businesses that rely on large-scale computing resources, as the costs can quickly add up.
How to Detect and Prevent Cryptojacking
There are several steps you can take to detect and prevent cryptojacking. The first step is to keep your software and operating system up-to-date with the latest security patches. This will help to prevent attackers from exploiting known vulnerabilities.
It's also important to install anti-malware software that can detect and remove cryptojacking code. Some anti-malware programs even have dedicated features for detecting and removing cryptojacking attacks.
Additionally, you can implement network-level security measures, such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems, to prevent attackers from accessing your network. By monitoring your network for unusual activity, you can quickly identify and respond to any potential threats.
Conclusion: Protecting Your Business from Cryptojacking Attacks
Cryptojacking is a growing threat that can harm your business in many ways. By understanding what it is, how it works, and the risks and consequences it poses, you can take the necessary steps to prevent it from affecting your business.

Hi all,
Prelink currently fails to relocate the debug info in MIPS libraries
because they use a custom section type.
Here is an example section from PPC:
[29] .debug_frame PROGBITS 00000000 0021b0 00002c 00
0 0 4
The type is "PROGBITS", which is what prelink likes, so it works correctly.
Now, here is an example from an equivalent MIPS binary:
[28] .debug_frame MIPS_DWARF 00000000 000ee8 00002c 00
0 0 4
Here the type is "MIPS_DWARF", a type not handled by prelink.
Please accept the attached patch to fix this.
Thanks

3 Things Your Child's Teacher Wants You To Know
It's officially back to school season which means something different to everyone. For children, it's a time of excitement and exploration. For parents, it's school supplies and some free time. And for teachers, it's the chance to connect with a whole new group of students to mentor for the year to come and possibly beyond. In all of the rushing around and preparation, it can be easy to lose sight of some of the simple practices that will fuel your child's success. Here are 3 ways you can start supporting teachers outside the classroom:
Communication is key
When parents and teachers communicate effectively, everyone wins. Research has shown that with families involved, children do better both academically and socially. Not only this, but a key part of supporting teachers lies in communication. Forming a collaborative partnership with your child's teacher not only benefits your peace of mind but also aids in your child's growth and development. Avoid rushed conversations in the drop-off or pick up line. At the onset of the new school year, set up a time to sit down and discuss what's on your mind. This also helps the teacher understand your child better. You can share personality insights; explain how the child typically expresses her emotions; indicate what you believe her learning style is; and share any home life events that may have an impact on her performance or behavior. Establishing open and honest dialogue that can be continued throughout the year fosters a strong parent-teacher partnership with the singular goal of your child's success.
Homework is their work
Every parent wants to help their child perform well academically, but taking over their homework can become detrimental to this. Homework drives home the lessons learned throughout the day and allows both the student and the teacher to assess where they are with the material. While answering questions and offering supportive encouragement helps, avoid providing actual solutions. This not only empowers your child to learn problem-solving skills but also allows them to recognize areas that they may need to brush up on in class. If your child brings home a bad grade or a less-than-stellar report card, let them know that mistakes do not define them and are an inevitable part of the learning process. If you want to spend time cultivating the skills learned in class, focus on reading. Whether a picture or chapter book, the simple act of sharing a story can inspire a lifelong love of reading.
Home time is just as important as school time
Learning doesn't stop when the bell rings, nor does supporting teachers. What you do at home is just as important as what goes on at school. Your child's personality and potentialities take shape at home. Creating a warm and safe environment for them to unwind and grow should be just as important as making sure they have all of their school supplies. A few simple things to remain mindful of:
Spending quality time with your child. From going for a walk in the park to snuggling up on the couch with a book, activities that let them know you care are key in fostering healthy self-esteem and the desire and motivation to learn in school.
Feeding your child nutritious, whole foods gets their brain ready to absorb all of the information they learn day-to-day. The brain develops substantially in childhood and what a child eats significantly affects their focus and cognitive performance.
Trying to limit screen time. In this digital age, it seems like we are constantly surrounded by screens. While children will need to learn to use smart technology to function in modern society, becoming entirely dependent upon it deprives them of certain rites of passage. Get them outside to play, go for a bike ride, read a book together, play a board game – real life happens here and now, not on a screen.
Most importantly, letting your child know they are loved, no matter how busy your day may be. The rest of their relationships grow from this foundation.
Get involved, stay positive and trust the teacher. And remember, teachers are human too! | eng | 0922991b-4038-464b-a445-82e55c151fb0 | https://unitedwaymassbay.org/blog/3-things-your-childs-teacher-wants-you-to-know/ |

Roses bloomed in our garden with the onset of summer.With the summer setting in Canada with the Summer Solstice on 20 June, 2021, the roses in our garden came to full bloom.For hundreds of years the rose has been widely recognised as a symbol of love, sympathy or sorrow.The world's oldest living rose is believed to be 1,000 years old. It grows on the wall of the Cathedral of Hildesheim in Germany and its presence is documented since A.D. 815.Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of India, is associated with his attire of pinning a fresh red rose to his coat every day. He made it a point to wear a rose as a remainder of his life with his wife Kamala, who passed away in 1938 after a prolonged illness.Roses are said to be the favourite flower of Venus, the Roman goddess of love.The rose is one among the only three flowers mentioned in the Bible. The others are lilies and camphire – akin to henna.Rose is England's National Flower and the United States' national flower since 1986.George Washington, the first president of USA, was also the first US rose breeder.Roses have been a beautiful symbol of celebration in all cultures. Nothing expresses personal sentiments better than roses, and they're always in style.Ancient Romans cultivated the flowers to decorate buildings and furniture, and even laid rose petal carpets.According to the Guinness Book of World Records, roses are the oldest species of plant to be grown as decoration.Roses are edible. Their petals can be used to make jams, syrups, and rosewater.About 100 million roses – mainly red – are grown for Valentine's Day each year.The other popular rose holidays in Canada are Mother's Day and Christmas.Colour of the rose depends on the species. Roses can be found in different shades of white, yellow, pink, orange and red colors.Red roses are a symbol for love and affection.Pink roses convey poetic romance and gentleness.White rose symbolised innocence and purity, which is how it became associated with weddings and bridal bouquets.Peach coloured roses signal modesty.Orange coloured Roses imply fascination.The colour yellow conveys happy thoughts and a positive feelings of warmth. Though yellow roses signifies friendship, the color once signified the negative traits of jealousy and greed.There are neither any black roses nor blue roses.What might sometimes be referred to as a black rose is actually a dark red rose.Roses do not bloom hurriedly; for beauty, like any masterpiece, takes time to blossom. – Matshona Dhliwayo (Canadian Philosopher, Entrepreneur, and Author) | eng | 0e6ef967-da20-4c90-b6db-69b1b8a539a8 | https://rejinces.net/tag/flowers/ |

Sharing the Power of Assessment with Students
Sharing the power of assessment with students is a natural segue from the digital learning chapter in Maximizing School Librarian Leadership. Power sharing with students became a central feature of effective instructional practices when technology tools and digital information first entered our classrooms and libraries. Educators literally "handed over the keys" to learning when multiple resources, perspectives, and devices supplanted textbooks as go-to information sources. In this context, educators who could best share power in the classroom were the most effective at technology integration.
Perhaps the same can or will be said about educators sharing the power of assessments with students. If "research shows that less teaching plus more feedback is the key to achieving greater learning" (Wiggins 2012, 16), then making a regular practice of both educators and students assessing students' progress can also lead to transferrable learning. Students who have the authority to monitor their learning process and progress can apply self-assessment strategies throughout their lives.
Self-regulating Learners "Students must be given opportunities to self-assess their progress if they are to become self-regulating independent learners" (Moreillon 2019, 42). Self-regulating students know how to focus their attention on classroom activities, ignore distractions, and direct their actions. They also know how and when to apply skills and strategies and marshal their dispositions. Self-regulating learners are more effective at carrying out a task and without external interventions. These behaviors help them succeed in school… and in life.
Ensuring that students have agency is a trending topic in education. Self-regulation is an aspect of agency. "Agency can help motivate students as they develop positive dispositions, such as perseverance and the ability to tolerate ambiguity. Agency also supports students as they personalize, self-regulate, and own their learning, including negotiating unequal access to tools and resources" (Moreillon 2018, 95). As Eric Sheninger and Thomas Murray note: "Our students will enter a world where their ideas—their genius—will only matter if they have the agency to develop and share them. Helping students become their own biggest advocates is key" (2017, 77).
Inquiry Learning and Self-Assessment Inquiry learning supports students as self-regulating learners by connecting them to their own background knowledge and asking personally meaningful questions. When student take responsibility for assessing, analyzing, and evaluating information to answer questions and using reliable information to take action, they practice and demonstrate their ability as agents of their own learning.
Self-assessing their learning process, solutions, and final products is the next level of self-regulation and agency. Educators guide students in using various self-assessment tools throughout the inquiry process to help learners monitor, track, and evaluate their process and products. When students self-assess their inquiry process, they analyze the information sources, they use during their investigation. One key commitment of school librarians within the AASL Shared Foundation of "Curate" is defined as "making meaning for oneself and others by collecting, organizing, and sharing resources of personal relevance" (AASL, 2018, p. 94).
Educators provide students or create along with students graphic organizers, exit slips, journal prompts, rubrics and other assessment instruments to help students assess their progress. Students can complete these assessments as individuals or in partners or groups depending on the organization of instruction.
Evaluating Solutions and Final Products Students can use checklists, rubrics, and other assessment tools to evaluate their solutions and final products. Again, students can conduct these self-evaluations as individuals or in teams, and can also provide assessments or evaluations of other students' work. Student-led conferences in which they share their learning with educators and family members are a way for students to take ownership of their process and final products. Students can also reflect and identify how they will take the next steps in their learning as part of their self-evaluation.
As Rick Stiggins and Jan Chappuis (2012) have noted, assessment should be for learning rather than of learning. Assessment must be a path to improvement for students and for educators. Educators whose ultimate goal is to help students become independent lifelong learners who apply critical thinking and take action in the world will want to guide students in becoming self-regulating learners. They will want to share the power of self-assessment and self-evaluation with students.

Australia: How To Refinance A Home Loan
If you're a homeowner in Australia, you may be considering the option of refinancing your home loan. Refinancing can be a valuable strategy to potentially save money on your mortgage repayments and unlock additional financial opportunities. In this blog post, we'll delve into the process of refinancing a home loan in Australia and shed light on its significance.
What is Home Loan Refinancing? Home loan refinancing involves replacing your existing mortgage with a new loan that comes with improved terms and features. By refinancing, homeowners aim to secure a lower interest rate, better loan conditions, and potentially access the equity built up in their property.
The Advantages of Home Loan Refinancing:
Saving Money: One of the primary advantages of refinancing a home loan is the potential to reduce your mortgage repayments. By securing a new loan with a lower interest rate, you can enjoy considerable savings over the life of your mortgage. These savings can add up significantly, allowing you to allocate your funds towards other financial goals or enhance your overall financial well-being.
Access to Equity: Refinancing also provides an opportunity to tap into the equity you have accumulated in your home. Equity is the difference between the market value of your property and the outstanding balance on your mortgage. By refinancing, you can access this equity and utilize it for various purposes, such as funding home renovations, consolidating debts, or investing in other ventures.
Improved Loan Features: Refinancing allows homeowners to explore and secure loan options with more favourable terms and features. These may include flexible repayment options, additional repayment facilities, redraw facilities, or the ability to switch between fixed and variable interest rates. Such enhancements can provide greater control over your finances and align your loan with your evolving needs and financial circumstances.
Consolidating Debts: Home loan refinancing can also enable you to consolidate high-interest debts, such as credit card balances or personal loans, into your mortgage. By merging multiple debts into a single, more manageable loan, you can streamline your repayments and potentially reduce your overall interest costs.
Financial Security and Peace of Mind: By refinancing to a loan with more favourable terms, you can experience a sense of financial security and peace of mind. Knowing that you have secured a competitive interest rate and improved loan features can provide confidence in your ability to manage your mortgage effectively.
Determining the Total Cost of Your Home Loan in Australia
When it comes to understanding the true cost of your current home loan in Australia, it's essential to consider not only the interest rate but also any associated fees and charges. To estimate the overall cost of your loan over its lifetime, you can rely on online calculators designed specifically for this purpose. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to calculate the cost of your home loan using an Annual Percentage Rate (APR) calculator:
Determine the Interest Rate: Begin by finding out the interest rate on your existing home loan. This information is typically provided in your loan documentation or through your mortgage lender. Take note of the current interest rate applicable to your loan.
Account for Fees and Charges: In addition to the interest rate, it's important to identify any fees or charges associated with your loan. These could include application fees, annual fees, valuation fees, or any other costs incurred during the loan process. Ensure you have a comprehensive list of all the fees and charges relevant to your specific loan.
Utilize an Online APR Calculator: To obtain a more accurate estimation of the total cost of your home loan, including both the interest and fees, make use of an online APR calculator. Bankrate, a trusted resource, offers a free APR calculator that can assist you in calculating the overall cost of your loan over its entire duration.
The APR represents a comprehensive measure of the total loan cost, as it considers both the interest rate and associated fees. By inputting the interest rate and fees into the calculator, you'll receive an estimate of the total amount you can expect to pay over the life of your loan.
Remember, calculating the cost of your home loan is an important step in understanding your financial obligations. However, keep in mind that this calculation serves as an estimate and may not reflect the exact amount you'll pay. For precise figures and personalized advice, it's recommended to consult with a mortgage professional who can analyze your specific loan details and provide accurate information tailored to your circumstances.
By gaining insights into the true cost of your home loan, you can make informed decisions about your mortgage, explore refinancing opportunities, or evaluate strategies to potentially reduce your overall loan expenses.
Factors to Consider When Comparing Home Loans
When it comes to comparing home loans from different lenders, it's crucial to evaluate various factors that can impact your financial situation. By carefully considering these factors, you can make an informed decision and find the loan that best suits your needs. Here are some key elements to consider during the comparison process:
Interest Rate: The interest rate plays a vital role in determining the overall cost of your home loan. Look for loans with competitive interest rates, as lower rates can result in substantial savings over the loan term.
Fees and Charges: Home loans often come with associated fees and charges, such as application fees, valuation fees, or ongoing fees. It's important to have a clear understanding of all the fees involved with each loan you're considering. This knowledge will help you assess the true cost and affordability of each option.
Loan Features: Different home loans offer a range of features, such as offset accounts or redraw facilities. Consider your individual preferences and requirements to identify which features are important to you. Look for loans that provide the specific features that align with your financial goals and lifestyle.
Repayment Options: Flexibility in repayment options is valuable when it comes to managing your loan effectively. Look for loans that offer flexible repayment structures, allowing you to make extra repayments or adjust the repayment frequency as needed. This flexibility can help you pay off your loan sooner and potentially save on interest.
Comparison Rate: While the interest rate is a significant factor, it's also important to consider the comparison rate. The comparison rate combines both the interest rate and associated fees, providing a more accurate measure of the total cost of the loan. This rate allows for a fairer comparison between different loan options.
To effectively compare home loans from different lenders, it's advisable to request Loan Estimates from multiple lenders. These estimates will provide you with detailed information about the loan terms, fees, and features offered by each lender. Take the time to review and analyze these estimates carefully, making note of any differences and assessing which lender is offering the most favourable terms for your specific needs.
Remember, choosing the right home loan is a significant financial decision, and thorough research and consideration are key. It's always beneficial to seek guidance from a mortgage professional who can provide expert advice tailored to your unique circumstances.
Expenses to Consider When Switching Lenders
Before making the decision to switch lenders, it's crucial to be aware of the costs involved in the process. Here are some expenses that you should keep in mind:
Appraisal Fee: To determine the value of your property, an appraisal may be required. This process involves a fee to cover the cost of assessing the property's worth accurately.
Assignment Fee: When transferring your mortgage from the current lender to a new one, an assignment fee may be applicable. This fee covers the administrative tasks associated with the transfer.
Discharge Fee: Discharging the existing mortgage and registering the new mortgage may incur a discharge fee. This fee covers the administrative and legal procedures involved in releasing the old mortgage and establishing the new one.
Legal Fees: Engaging a lawyer to handle the legal aspects of signing the new mortgage agreement may involve legal fees. These fees cover the services provided by the lawyer, ensuring that all legal requirements are met during the process.
Refinancing a home loan in Australia presents several potential benefits, including saving money on mortgage repayments, accessing equity for other purposes, and enjoying improved loan features. However, it's crucial to carefully assess your financial situation, evaluate the costs and benefits, and seek professional advice from mortgage brokers or financial advisors. They can guide you through the refinancing process, ensuring it aligns with your long-term financial goals and helps you achieve greater financial freedom. | eng | f7df2471-9439-4310-a2f4-38e6858430d8 | https://pgvlog.com/refinance-home-loan-australia/ |

Do you want to start a garden in your yard but don't know how? Chances are that you do not have knowledge on what is needed to have a successful garden. That is where the following article comes in– you are going to be given advice that will make gardening easy and fun.
Find some plants that will give you a higher yield. Many times, a cold-tolerant or disease-resistant hybrid can have a higher yield versus traditional ones.
Grow seasonings and kitchen herbs in your garden. Herbs are generally very simple to grow, and can even be made to thrive in a window box or indoor pot. However, these easy plants are very expensive to buy at the store. Growing them yourself can save you significant amounts of money.
To maximize the benefits of compost, put it in your garden about two weeks before you plant. Compost actually needs time to integrate with soil and once you combine the two they need time to stabilize. Plan to gather enough compost to fertilize your garden a couple of weeks ahead of planting to produce healthier and stronger plants.
When gardening, beware of stink bugs and other insects, particularly in the autumn. They like beans, peppers, tomatoes and many fruits. If you do not check, they do a lot of damage to plants so try to get rid of them if you can.
Start a compost bin, and enjoy nutrient-rich fertilizer that you can use for your vegetable plants, herbs, flowers and more. Food scraps and peels, coffee grounds, eggshells, newspaper, paperboard, yard waste and other organic matter are perfect additions to your compost bin. Keep a small bucket or bag in your freezer as an odor-free way to collect kitchen waste, and empty the container into the outdoor bin when it is full.
Try using latex or plastic gloves instead of cloth gardening gloves. Cloth gardening gloves do not block moisture well – a problem when working with moist soil, and they often get stiff, crinkly, and uncomfortable after a few uses. A sturdy pair of plastic or latex gloves, like those used for cleaning, are a much better choice. They protect against moisture, and cleaning is as simple as rinsing them off under a hose and hanging to dry.
Plant self-seeding flowers. Let your flowers do the work of re-stocking the garden for you. If you allow your flowers to go to seed, the following year you will have new seedlings popping up everywhere. If things get too crowded, or if plants appear in the wrong place, simply thin them out. Good self-seeders are alyssum, bellflower, forget-me-not, poppy and columbine.
Pay attention to the temperatures in your garden. When it is early, or late, in the season there is a chance that your plants could be exposed to frost. Freezing temperatures will cause many plants to die, and some that live will not produce at the level they would have otherwiseFor those new to gardening it is suggested to experiment with annuals. The following varieties are hardy, thrive in average soil, and take minimum care: sweet alyssum, marigold, zinnia, sunflower, nasturtium, petunia and verbena. Just remember to deadhead them frequently to encourage new flowers to grow.
Why buy new garden covers when you can use your old blankets to cover plants in the winter time? If you don't have any old blankets you can buy used ones at thrift stores cheaply. Use tomato cages to support the blankets over your plants. Individual bricks or garden rocks can be used to hold the blankets and down and insure good coverage for your plants.
As was stated in the beginning of the article, if you do not know how to start a garden, it is probably because you do not know what goes into making a garden flourish. The advice that you were given in the above article is going to help you prepare for the ideal garden | eng | aadc5768-03d6-476a-a6e1-34ee339b9a32 | https://gardenplanters.net/sunday-morning-peace-and-tranquility/ |

I've been using the composite_primary_keys gem in my Rails applications for quite some time, particularly for defining relationships with composite keys in a clean and efficient way. With the gem's success since 2006 and its adaptability with various Rails versions, I'm starting to wonder about the broader community's thoughts on its integration.
Is there a consensus within the Rails community on the inclusion of composite primary keys as a core feature, leveraging the well-maintained composite_primary_keys gem? What might be the pros and cons of such integration, especially considering use-cases like join-table entities? How do others approach composite keys in their Rails applications without this gem?
Composite Primary keys are will be part of Rails in 7.1. We didn't use the gem because as an Rails extension this gem is not as well integrated with the framework as it could be. The gem was basically monkey patching Rails internals, which Rails itself should not be doing.
API should be compatible.
I'm not sure if all features are implemented, so if you could give a try in the 7.1 feature and report back any missing features that would be great.
Thank you for pointing out the inclusion of Composite Primary keys in Rails 7.1. It's indeed an exciting update. I totally understand the hesitation with the gem. Using gems that monkey patch Rails internals can sometimes lead to unpredictable behaviors, and it's always better if such features come integrated with the framework itself.
I also check this -
Regarding the API, it's good to know that it should be compatible. As for the completeness of the features, I'll definitely take a closer look at the Rails 7.1 feature and test its functionality. I appreciate the heads-up and will report back if I notice any missing elements or encounter issues. | eng | a6c499ea-05fa-4b0f-9eee-647fb4cfe2e0 | https://discuss.rubyonrails.org/t/integration-of-composite-primary-keys-gem-in-latest-rails-pros-cons-and-best-practices/83436 |

Researchers seek to re-use waste plastics to make valuable petrochemicals
"The produced ethylene and BTX aromatics from plastic upcycling can be used as feedstocks to re-make plastics"
WVU Photo
Researchers at West Virginia University's Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources have received a $859,136 grant from the REMADE Institute and Braskem to increase the recycling rate of single-use plastics by converting the plastic waste into valuable aromatics that are used to create petrochemical materials.
"Americans throw away 100 billion plastic bags annually, that's about 307 bags per person," said Yuxin Wang, research assistant professor of chemical and biomedical engineering and principal investigator of the project. "Single-use plastic waste ends up in landfills or the water, harming the ecosystem and natural environment. Most of the energy and carbon in plastic wastes will be recovered and the proposed technology will significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions."
Funded by a $859,136 grant from the REMADE Institute, a public-private partnership established by the U.S. Department of Energy, and Braskem, Wang, Research Assistant Professor Changle Jiang, and John Hu, professor of chemical and biomedical engineering, aim to increase the recycling rate of single-use plastics by converting plastic waste into valuable aromatics that are used to create petrochemical materials.
Petrochemicals are used to manufacture many of the goods that people use daily, ranging from medicine and cosmetics to electronics and solar panels, and furniture and appliances.
"Over the past decade, great efforts have been made to upcycle single-use plastics, especially thermochemical technologies," Wang said. "However, all thermochemical processes suffer from severe challenges. As a result, it is difficult to achieve upcycling efficiently by these energy intensive and complex processes."
Since the 1950s, the rate of plastic production has grown faster than any other material, with only 9 percent of plastic waste ever produced having been recycled, according to a report by the United Nations Environment Programme.
According to Wang, current technologies to upcycle single-use plastics are energy intensive, causing a high volume of greenhouse gas emissions and prohibiting large-scale upcycling.
The researchers from the Statler College of Engineering and Mineral Resources will use a simple one-step microwave catalytic process to upcycle single-use plastics into high value benzene, toluene and xylene (BTX) for use as petrochemical materials. Wang explained that this will enable cross-industry reuse of recycled feedstock and reduce primary fossil fuel consumption.
In 2019, the global market for BTX aromatics reached 100 million tons per year with a value of over $100 billion per year. According to Wang, the market is predicted to reach $247 billion by 2027.
"The produced ethylene and BTX aromatics from plastic upcycling can be used as feedstocks to re-make plastics," Wang said. "That will reduce demand on fossil fuel derived ethylene and BTX aromatics from conventional petroleum refinery, leading to a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions."
The Bayer Foundation announced today it has bestowed a $380,000 grant to West Virginia University's (WVU) College of Engineering and Mineral Resources to create the Bayer Scholars for Extrusion-Compounding program in the Department of Chemical Engineering.

Abstract
On April 6, 1917, President Woodrow Wilson declared that the United States would enter World War 1 on the side of the Allies, a move that would mobilize the American army and propel the 26th National Guard Division onto the world stage. Originally comprised only of boys from the New England states, most of whom had barely left home and had never fired a rifle in combat, this brave unit was put to the test on the Western Front against the Kaiser's army, an enemy who had been at war for three years. The 26th was the first American military unit to arrive in full force in France. With almost 12,000 casualties in the 37 kilometers it had advanced by the end of the war, the 26th gained notoriety for its brutal fighting and recognition for its courage under fire, securing a place for itself in the annals of history. Steven Alboum, who came from Hillsborough, New Jersey, to study at the University of Maine, is currently working on a Bachelor of Arts in History. He hopes to eventually earn a doctoral degree and become a college professor.

Science & Math Summer Research Experience
The 2023 SNU Summer Research Experience (SRE) will take place from May 17 to June 29, 2023. The SRE is sponsored jointly by SNU and the Oklahoma NASA Space Grant Consortium (OSGC). You can read more about OSGC activities here.
Current SNU students may apply for the 2023 SRE if they have completed their first one or two years of study in an academic major offered through the SNU Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science/Network Engineering, Mathematics, or Physics Department.
Project Descriptions
A description of the research topics in each area is given below along with the respective research adviser(s).
Biology Dr. Caio Franca
West Nile virus (WNV) is the most widely distributed arbovirus (viruses transmitted to humans and other animals by arthropod vectors) and the most important and widespread mosquito-borne disease in the U.S. According to the Oklahoma State Department of Health WNV was first detected in Oklahoma in 2002. It has since produced three major outbreaks, and it's established as a seasonal endemic disease causing human clinical cases and death mainly during May to October.
Infectious disease surveillance and forecasting have greatly improved with the development of new analytical and modeling tools. NASA Earth-observations (EOS) data have been used to track the ecological impacts of changing climates and landscapes and the implications of these changes for ecosystem and human health. From the vantage point of space, satellite observations can provide information to determine disease-favoring conditions in the environment.
Our goals are to (i) assess the correlation between environmental factors, mosquito surveillance, and epidemiological data; (ii) Use geographical information system maps to understand mosquito vector ecology in central Oklahoma; and (iii) utilize NASA earth observations in an early-warning system for WNV disease outbreak in Oklahoma.
Biology Dr. Daniel Rocha
Project Title: Factors that Affect Terrestrial Mammal Distributions
Why do some species occur in high densities at some locations but are absent at other locations? Why do some areas exhibit such rich diversity of species while other areas show such poor diversity? How do different species respond to an environmental feature? How are human-driven factors affecting species' communities? For centuries, naturalists and biologists have been interested in this type of ecological question.
Terrestrial mammals are notably sensitive to habitat disturbances and have fundamental importance in the maintenance of the structure and function of ecosystems. For the past years, I have been using camera traps (camera that is automatically triggered by movement in its vicinity) to study terrestrial mammal distribution in different areas in the Brazilian Amazon. Building on previous research, I would like to use already collected camera trap data from the Brazilian Amazon as well as new data from Oklahoma, combined with NASA-derived earth observation data (e.g. satellite) to identify the main factors that influence patterns in mammal (and possibly bird) distributions.
This project also aims to equip undergraduate students with basic knowledge and tools to process and use spatial data in independent ecological research. Importantly, we want these tools to be available to the students when they no longer have access to the university resources. Therefore, we will use only free sources and open software (mainly QGIS and R) during data processing and analysis. This project may also include a one-week camera trapping survey in Oklahoma and a trip to Point Loma Nazarene University for collaboration with a Point Loma faculty member.

Project Title: Analyzing Outcomes and Strategy on a Game Show
A game show called The Wall debuted on NBC in 2016. Contestants on the show win prizes by dropping balls through a tall game wall with staggered pins. Each slot at the bottom of the wall has a prize value attached to it. Contestants win money based on their ability to answer trivia questions and the final location of balls that are dropped down the wall.
The game wall used on the show resembles a Galton board. It is known that a ball dropped through this device will fall into slots at the bottom of the board in a pattern governed by the normal distribution. One goal of this project is to audit the outcomes of the ball drops on episodes of the show. Do they follow a normal distribution? We will use statistical tests to attempt to answer this question.
Summer Support and Stipend
Participants are eligible for free room in a SNU dorm facility. Each participant will receive $3,000 as a stipend for research. Payments will be made throughout the summer program; a final installment will be paid at the conclusion of the program. Participants are expected to commit to 40 hours of research a week as scheduled by the research adviser, generally from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. If participants anticipate being gone for any reason during the program, they should make alternate arrangements with their research adviser for making up research. Additionally, participants must present the results of their research in two different settings during the 2023-2024 academic year:
During the weekly Math and Science research seminar
At an off-campus academic conference or at the annual SNU Undergraduate Research Symposium (in March or April 2024)

Dealing with Hate Speech
Summary
This article explains to the youth the concept of hate speech, why people are spreading it, and it provides advice that you can follow to avoid being a victim of it.
What is Hate Speech?
Hate speech is a form of communication where the person writing the content has the intention of attacking you on the basis of gender, religion, race, and/or disability. The most common types of hate speech on the Internet are from unknown sources. The person sending the hateful comment or content will typically create a fake account (troll) and use it to protect themselves from being identified. While they are comfortably sending all of the messages, you, on the other hand, are receiving them and being affected negatively.
Although in most cases, people use troll accounts to send messages, in some cases, they are sent from a real profile which you might be familiar with. Thus any message that is created to harm you, whether it is valid or not, can be defined as hate speech.
Why do people post hate speech online? What is the best way that you can respond to it?
Being the target of online hate speech can be extremely painful. A very important part of evaluating the situation is understanding that when a person creates any kind of hate speech, it is automatically a sign of weakness on their part. Similar to any kind of bullying, people who intentionally hurt others, do so because they are unable to deal with their insecurities and weaknesses and as a result try to transfer it on others. Which is why in most cases, hate speech is based on false facts and inaccurate information. Imagine a person who is unable to be strong so instead, they create a false strength. It is sad that in many cases people don't reach out until the thread has gone too far and what could have been stopped at the beginning has become viral and more difficult to control.
There are numerous reasons as to why a person creates hate speech, here are a few:
Unable to deal with their own insecurities
Low self-esteem
Conditioned by surrounding that aggression defines strength
Seeking attention
Diversion of emotions where some people are unable to deal with their own negative emotions and resort to diverting the negativity on others
Victims of hate speech, so to protect themselves, they might create hate speech to empower themselves after falling victim to hate speech themselves
It takes thirty seconds for a post to go viral online. The moment you receive the message, you have automatically become the target of hate speech and should immediately recognize it. In most cases, you might feel you prefer not to tell anyone, as you might either feel that you are somehow responsible for the other person's behaviour or in some cases be concerned that if you talk, it might have a negative effect on you. Reaching out is the most vital step to putting a stop to any kind of hatred. The moment you face any kind of hate or witness it, you are automatically responsible for doing something about it. While it may seem that the Internet has become a place for ongoing negativity, it is still very much a safe place. Reporting the troll account is extremely important to help save others from facing a similar situation.
How do I make sure I don't fall victim for hate speech?
Anytime we face anything that is negative, we tend to personalize it and, in some cases, allow it to control us. No matter what the situation, you must never allow yourself to believe what is not true or relevant. One of the best ways and strategies to overcome any situation is to take control of the situation. Therefore, separating yourself from the incident and creating distance can be a useful way to help you understand more of what is really happening. Taking care of yourself and not carrying the weight alone is extremely important as well. Create the following checklist which helps you deal with any situation that you might face:
REPORT-BLOCK-DON'T SHARE-REACH OUT! Follow the steps and move on knowing that you have taken care of the situation. Separate yourself fully from the incident and take charge of the situation.
Whether you have been directly affected by hate speech or not, being an advocate and helping to put an end to any kind of negative online behaviour will result in self-empowerment.
When we help others and empathize with them, we immediately feel a sense of satisfaction. By taking a stand when you happen to see any kind of negative online behaviour, the results will surely be positive as it has been found that doing good, in ways big or small, not only feels good but also gives you a sense of purpose which will manifest in vigorous mental health.
How do I make sure I do not become a hater myself?
During any sort of situation that you might find yourself in, that may or may not trigger negative thoughts, it is always important to ask yourself what you would like the end result to be. When you face any kind of hatred online, you have the right to decide what you want to do with the situation. Alternatively, if you learn to recognize your emotions and control your thoughts in order to avoid losing control of the situation, you will ultimately reach a solution in which you decided on. If you are ever facing any kind of online negative behaviour, it is extremely important for you to always keep in mind that your online reputation is important, and you are the only person in control of it. By allowing the hater to trigger a negative response, you are willingly giving them the ability to predict others' perception of you. Attempt to master the art of not allowing people to trigger your negative reaction, instead, always stay in control and decide on the action yourself. | eng | a94e18c4-a3fc-4ec0-8687-1ee652e35de0 | https://www.safespace.qa/en/topic/dealing-hate-speech |

Focus on: Fluorescence
We are increasingly asked about fluorescence by customers who are looking for a diamond. Routinely mentioned on certificates though rarely spoken about by salespeople, fluorescence can make a significant difference to the price and sometimes the appearance of a diamond, but it is a tricky subject and it can be difficult to pin down exactly what its impact on a stone can be.
Fluorescence is an effect seen when a material emits visible light under exposure to high energy radiation such as ultraviolet (UV) light. Around 25-35% of diamonds fluoresce to some degree. The fluorescent colour is usually blue, but it can also occasionally occur in other colours. The intensity of the glow can also vary, with some diamonds exhibiting a very strong fluorescence while others have only a weak glow. On a Gemological Institute of America (GIA) certificate the level of fluorescence will be stated as None, Faint, Medium, Strong or Very Strong. For Medium to Very Strong fluorescence the colour will also be noted, as this can alter the effect of the fluorescence on the appearance of the stone. For an example of the massive variation possible just take a look at the two images below: they are of the same pendant, one in natural light and one under UV light.
Fluorescence can have a positive, negative or no impact on the appearance of a diamond to the eye. For stones with a faint yellowish body colour, perhaps graded I to M (see our blog on colour for more), the presence of blue fluorescence can cause the colour to appear whiter than a similar stone with no fluorescence. This is because blue and yellow are complementary colours; when one is removed from white light you are left with the other. Natural daylight and many electric lights contains an amount of UV radiation, causing enough of a fluorescent effect to alter the balance of blue to yellow without giving the stronger blue glow that is seen under a special UV light source. With diamonds of a higher colour grade the advantages of this "whitening" effect diminishes and fluorescence becomes increasingly undesirable.
The problem with fluorescence is that in some cases it can cause a diamond to appear hazy or milky, especially if the fluorescence is strong. If the fluorescence has a positive impact on the colour of a stone an amount of haziness is sometimes forgivable, but with finer stones or those where the colour is not improved it is generally better to avoid a property which can lessen the stone's attractiveness. Stones which fluoresce are usually less expensive than those which do not, all other factors being equal, so it is worth checking the detail before making a purchase.
In the above diamonds the variation in appearance is significant. Both are the same size, colour grade and clarity grade and both have very strong blue fluorescence. The stone on the left has a very hazy appearance while the stone on the right does not. Without seeing the diamond or being told of this difference by the seller it wouldn't be possible to infer it from the certificate, but the hazy stone is considerably less expensive so would sound the best value on paper yet in reality could disappoint.
Despite extensive research experts have found it to be virtually impossible to accurately predict and quantify the impact of fluorescence on the appearance of a diamond. Only viewing a stone in person and in various lighting conditions can really provide an answer. Even seeing photographs is no substitute for seeing the diamond as it isn't possible to say if a hazy appearance is due to the diamond or the photography or if the diamond has been photographed in complementary lighting.
Regardless of the challenge it poses, fluorescence is fascinating, and can be incredible to view like in the picture of the pendant above. Because the property varies so much in diamonds it is possible to see a wide range of effects. Jewellery with clusters of diamonds will usually display a variety in fluorescence across the piece with some stones remaining inert under UV while others glow with varying levels of intensity. Sometimes diamonds surprise us, fluorescing with an unusual colour or simply having an unusually bright glow. It can be fascinating to observe the variation between different stones.
Once you understand fluorescence and its affects it's another quality to consider when finding the right diamond. If you are sensitive to a tinted colour or eye visible inclusions but wish to find a particular size to fit into your budget then accepting a diamond with noticeable fluorescence may be the best option for you, as always it's about making an educated and considered choice. Perhaps more than any other quality if you choose a diamond with fluorescence it's important to have trust in your jeweller to advise you on its impact on the beauty of the diamond and to compare with another diamond that doesn't fluoresce, as you can't rely on a diamond report to guide you.
If you have any questions about diamonds including fluorescence or even if you would just like to see the fluorescence for yourself, our qualified gemmologists and diamond graders are always available in the showroom. | eng | d6618be3-0462-4da8-ba99-c5af05d701e9 | https://www.pajewellery.com/blogs/pa-jewellery/focus-on-fluorescence |

Cultural observation post
A cultural observation post is an outpost camouflaged, usually by hologram, and employed by anthropological teams for the purpose of observing species who have not yet discovered the ability to create faster-than-light technologies.
Such societies are designated as pre-warp civilizations and are governed by the Prime Directive.

Each year, we make more than 1,000 recommendations to help improve the federal government. We alert department heads to where they can save the most money, address issues on our High Risk List, or significantly improve government operations.
This report outlines our 12 priority open recommendations for the Environmental Protection Agency as of March 2022. For example, in November 2020, we recommended that EPA develop a plan to modernize the national ambient air quality monitoring system.
What GAO Found
In June 2021, GAO identified 22 priority recommendations for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Since then, EPA has implemented ten of those recommendations by, among other things, requiring states to report quarterly to EPA on the number of lead service lines in each public water system in the state and providing direction to staff on integrating climate change information into risk assessments at nonfederal Superfund sites. We are not adding any additional priority recommendations this year. The total number of priority recommendations remaining is 12. These recommendations involve the following areas:
assessing and controlling toxic chemicals;
reducing pollution in the nation's waters;
ensuring cybersecurity at EPA;
addressing data and risk communication issues for drinking water and wastewater infrastructure;
managing climate change risks; and
protecting the nation's air quality.
EPA-making on major issues; eliminate mismanagement, fraud, and abuse; or ensure that programs comply with laws and funds are legally spent, among other benefits. Since 2015 GAO has sent letters to selected agencies to highlight the importance of implementing such recommendations. | eng | 09d44f6f-780c-48e0-a309-b323e5396f4c | https://www.gao.gov/products/gao-22-105600 |
It is through your broad intention and willingness to move forward, even if you don't know where you are going, that you become a truly empowered co-creator with a universe that adores you.
Dear Ones, it is time to up-level your manifestations. When you try to create within what is already known, or within what you think is possible, you limit yourselves. If you have been feeling like you don't know where to go or what to do next, it is because you have already gone as far as you can in the energies of the known.
The old method of manifestation, which involves holding a very specific vision of what you want, does work, but it is still playing within the energy of the known. That method involves micro-managing the universe, and completely limits what you are willing to receive. It is like having access to an entire ocean, but only being willing to accept what can trickle through a straw.
But you are pioneers, and your soul craves expansion! It is time to allow yourself to be led into the discovery of what exists for you just beyond what you can see, in the realm of potentiality. You get there by casting your net wider, being curious, and by being willing to be led. It involves letting go of all expectations and attachments to things looking a certain way.
It means allowing your soul, and your guides, to reveal the highest matches for you that you never could have dreamed existed. It is through your broad intention and willingness to move forward, even if you don't know where you are going, that you become a truly empowered co-creator with a universe that adores you. | eng | 3324a7f6-14c3-489d-9934-da7891c306f6 | https://feelmorethanfine.eu/?p=15833 |

Sticky clutch on a 89 Pete with an Eaton Fuller 13 speed.
I have an 89 Peterbilt with a 3406 Cat motor and a 13 speed. When I depress the clutch I can put the truck into gear without a problem but the pedal is very slow to extend out. I know from my time as an auto mechanic (many years ago!) that more than likely it's a bad pressure plate. Does the same hold for a truck or are there other possibilitiesSomething in the linkage is likely frozen and rusted. Most commonly the clutch pivot box under the cab/ floor. The link between the pivots will become frozen at the end joints. Disconnecting the linkage will verify where it is frozen. Best to just replace the whole box with new.Click to expand...
I have two 89 Petes; As @Goodysnap mentioned, there is likely a lack of grease on the clutch linkage. Those two grease fittings are a kind of hard to see and get to, and easily overlooked.
Define 'truck had sat for awhile'. Generally speaking, trucks that had a period of extended parking lot time(several years), the clutch/pressure plates will be the first things that need attention once the truck is put back into service | eng | 2a8a1b4f-2025-4d58-b1cf-56cdfcfe7b6e | https://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/threads/sticky-clutch-on-a-89-pete-with-an-eaton-fuller-13-speed.2467101/ |
Scorpio Daily Horoscope For Saturday, Apr 3, 2021
The largest stadium is in North Korea. Get well informed but try to avoid situations and places that seem risky to visit or explore. This is a time when you cannot say with certainty what might be lurking behind the corner and all possibly toxic substances should also be avoided unless specifically prescribed.
Choose a detox treatment, a day at a spa, go for a walk, sweat it out, and eat healthy food that isn't easily spoiled. You need to care about possible small, invisible threats today, more than you usually do. | eng | 306bd895-2480-4a3d-a030-7aea8b9ab830 | https://www.zodiacsign.com/horoscope/scorpio/daily/apr-03-2021/ |
