Mise en place: Design your life workshop
Well, I just learned a new term today, a new term from French used in English: mise en place.
And it means everything in its place, and it's used by chefs and cooks in kitchens to speak to the idea of having all your tools and ingredients organized and ready to go, so that when it's time to work, you can most easily grab all the tools and ingredients that you need.
This idea has been extended beyond the world of food.
It certainly applies to any kind of work: arranging our workspace so that the things that we need are easy to take and easy to use, so that it can be as convenient as possible, and our work can go as smoothly as possible.
But I think this idea can even be extended further into anything in life, the way that we live our life.
Just like a lot of the principles, I think: a lot of the principles from work can apply generally to life.
Work is just one specific part of our day, and one specific activity, but the same principles apply to any activities that we're doing.
And work is just doing useful activity.
That's really all it is: doing useful, valuable activity.
Creating value.
Well, doesn't that apply to everything that we do? We are doing things that are useful for some reason.
Even if we're just having fun, it's useful to create fun and have a feeling of fun.
So this is yet another example of how things that we can use from work, principles from work, can be applied throughout our lives.
And in this case, it's the idea of our tools and our workshop, our environment, where we live, what we surround ourselves with, we can arrange it and organize it in a way where it is convenient for us to do good work.
We can make the things that we want to do convenient, and then make the things that we don't want to do, we can make them less convenient.
So a simple application would be, if we have a habit that we are attempting to reform, we can make it more difficult to access that habit, for example, keep it out of the way.
For example, if one is quitting smoking, to have smoking materials, to have a lighter and cigarettes ready at our side, is a mise en place really making it very easy and convenient to smoke.
Whereas, if the cigarettes and lighter are kept in an inconvenient location where we have to go out of our way to get them, that makes it slightly less convenient.
This is no replacement at all for actually the mental- the work that we have to do to actually quit.
Because, of course, making cigarettes inconvenient to access is not going to lead to quitting smoking.
Because if you really want to do the bad habit, you'll simply go out of your way to do it, and doesn't matter if it's inconvenient.
But it just makes that little bit of difference, where it becomes a little bit more difficult.
It makes us think more about it.
It makes it less efficient to follow the bad habit.
We have to think about it more and go through more of a process to be able to do it.
It makes it a little bit out of the ordinary.
Deliberately sabotaging our workshop.
If you think of, like, a workshop of bad habits, all the bad habits that we can reach for, we disrupt that workshop and make it an inconvenient workshop.
And that could have just a little bit of a nudging effect on making those habits a little bit less simple and smooth to continue on with.
And then with good things that we want to do, if there's work we're working on, we can have it ready and organized, ready to go in a convenient way.
If we're working on building a habit of exercising, we can have all the exercise equipment or whatever we need, the running shoes, everything, laid out, ready to go.
This is something that- I think there's a lot of potential for me to improve this for myself and really try to arrange my environment in a way that encourages the kind of mindset and the kind of work that I want to do.
We arrange our environment, and it sends messages to ourselves.
So when we wake up and we look around, imagine the difference between seeing all your bad habits ready to go or seeing all the good work you can do.
The tools for bad things, the tools for good things.
Have the tools for good things be readily arranged and ready, and that becomes like our menu for action.
Our menu for action is all around us.
With all the tools we have around us, that is our menu of what we will choose to do.
So by arranging our environment, we can make it easier to do what we want. | eng | 3e456db4-e4ce-4f80-9bf0-1656ee3f8803 | https://questforameaningful.life/mise-en-place-design-your-life-workshop/ |

Armenian blackberry Growth Stages
posted on January 1, 2023
Armenian blackberry (Rubus armeniacus) is a perennial shrub in the rose family that is native to Asia and Europe. It is a deciduous plant, meaning it loses its leaves in the fall. The Armenian blackberry is a fruit-bearing plant, producing blackberries that are edible and often used in pies, jams, and other desserts.
The Armenian blackberry has a short life cycle, typically living for only 2-3 years. However, in some cases, the plant may live up to 5 years. The plant has a growth period in the spring and summer, during which it produces new leaves and flowers. The flowers eventually turn into blackberries, which ripen in the late summer or early fall. Once the blackberries are picked, the plant begins to die back, with the leaves falling off and the stems becoming dry and woody.
There are four main growth stages of the Armenian blackberry:
1. Germination: This is the stage where the blackberry seeds begin to sprout and grow into seedlings.
2. Vegetative growth: The seedlings continue to grow and develop leaves and stems.
3. Flowering: The blackberry plant produces flowers, which eventually turn into blackberries.
4. Fruiting: The blackberries ripen and are ready to be picked.
After the fruiting stage, the plant will begin to die back and will eventually die completely.
The Armenian blackberry, also known as the drupelet blackberry, is a species of blackberry that is native to Armenia. The Armenian blackberry is a shrub that typically grows to be about 3 feet tall. The Armenian blackberry has black, glossy berries that grow in clusters. The Armenian blackberry is a popular fruit to eat fresh, and is also used in jams, jellies, and pies.
How long does it take for a blackberry to mature?
A blackberry will take around 3-4 months to mature. The plant will produce flowers which will then turn into berries. The berries will ripen at different times, so you will need to keep an eye on them and pick them when they are ripe.
What are the stages of blackberries?
The stages of blackberries are flowering, fruit set, and ripening.
How can I make my blackberries grow faster?
The best way to make blackberries grow faster is to provide them with the right conditions. They need full sun and well-drained soil. Be sure to water them regularly, especially during dry periods. Fertilize them in early spring and again in mid-summer. You can also prune them to encourage new growth.
Do blackberry bushes bloom the first year?
Blackberry bushes are typically grown for their fruit, which is produced on canes that are 2 years old or older. However, blackberry bushes can bloom the first year after planting, depending on the variety. For example, the Cheyenne blackberry bush blooms the first year after planting, while the Arapaho blackberry bush does not bloom until the second year.
1. Armenian blackberry bushes should be pruned in late winter or early spring.
2. Flowering occurs in late spring or early summer.
3. Fruits ripen in late summer or early fall.
4. Armenian blackberry bushes can be propagated from seed, cuttings, or division.
5. Armenian blackberry plants are tolerant of a wide range of soil and climatic conditions.
Armenian blackberry is an early-maturing variety with a short growing season. It is well adapted to cold winter climates and has a high tolerance to drought. The fruit is large, round, and black with a sweet flavor. Armenian blackberry is a good choice for home gardens and commercial production. | eng | 2cf149f6-db53-4791-a291-0becf68dc643 | https://soetrust.org/biology/armenian-blackberry-growth-stages/ |
"It's a Marathon Not a Sprint": Advice for Rare Disease Parents
Nasha Fitter, CEO of the FOXG1 Research Foundation and Vice President of Rare Disease at Ciitizen, describes what it is like for parents of children with rare diseases and gives advice to parents whose children have just been diagnosed.
Raising a child with a rare disease, as Ms. Fitter asserts, is exhausting and requires individuals to take on multiple responsibilities. These often include learning the science behind their child's rare disease(s), taking care of their child who is often sick, raising money for a disease most people have not heard of, and maintaining a day job.
Ms. Fitter advises newly diagnosed parents to take it one day at a time and remember they are not alone. She also advises parents to be realistic about the number of goals they can achieve to avoid burnout and to be strategic about achieving those goals.

Construction Dispute Resolution: A Brief Guide
Published on 02nd May 2023
Construction projects can involve numerous parties, complex contracts, and a variety of technical issues. With so many moving parts, it's no surprise that disputes can arise. When they do, an effective and timely resolution is critical to avoid costly delays, damaged relationships, and potential litigation. Two primary methods of resolving construction disputes are arbitration and litigation. While each has its advantages and disadvantages, deciding which is best for a specific dispute can be challenging.
In this blog post, we'll explore the pros and cons of each method for construction dispute resolution, and provide guidance on factors to consider when deciding between them.
What are construction disputes and why it happens?
Construction disputes are disagreements or conflicts between stakeholders of a construction project. The dispute can be between any two or more stakeholders like owners, contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers.
The reasons for the disputes can be many. Generally, misunderstandings, violations of construction contracts, project delays, changes in work scope, design changes or faulty design, and payment issues are the reasons for the disputes. Furthermore, breach of contract is another major reason for construction disputes.
When disputes remain unresolved for long, they may lead to cost overruns in the form of delayed projects, year-long legal proceedings, and higher compensation.
Some common types of construction disputes
Payment disputes
This is, by far, one of the most common disputes in the construction industry. Contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and project owners may often disagree with each other regarding the terms of payment.
Payment disputes may arise due to the value of work completed or over the quality of the work. Even the timing of payment is often a cause for disputes among the parties involved in the project.
Scope disputes
This dispute arises when the owner and general contractor disagree over the scope of the work to be done. Project owners often demand changes in the scope of the project during its construction phase. This leads to disputes as the new changes might not be mentioned in the contract. Having different interpretations of the project's scope may also cause disputes to arise between the contactor and the project owner.
Schedule disputes
This dispute arises when the construction schedule suffers delays or disruptions. This might happen for a multitude of reasons, including weather, unforeseen site conditions, or labor shortages. Schedule disputes can result in cost overruns and ultimately the project may witness delayed commissioning.
Design disputes
When the project owner and contractor disagree over the project's design or specifications. This might happen due to unclear design, erroneous design, or if something is missing from the design.
Quality disputes
As the name suggests, this dispute arises when the project owners and contractors don't agree on the overall quality of the work completed. Incomplete work, defective work, or inability to meet the required construction regulations and standards can contribute to quality disputes among the stakeholders of the project.
Safety disputes
Safety disputes occur when there are disagreements over safety issues on the construction site. This can happen if the contractor does not follow the required safety standards or if there are unsafe conditions on the site. Safety disputes can lead to injuries, legal action, and a damaged reputation for the parties involved.
Different Construction Dispute Resolution Methods
NEGOTIATION
Negotiation is one of the most common dispute resolution methods. Here, the parties or their representatives attempt to reach an agreement without the participation of any third party. The meetings are private and often confidential.
This is often the first step for resolving disputes among the stakeholders in a construction project. Negotiation avoids a rigid attitude and focuses on finding solutions to both parties satisfaction. The success of any negotiation hinges on the quality of the parties' communications with one another.
Pros
The mutual agreement benefits both parties
Can time-consuming and expensive methods like arbitration and litigation
Parties can control the outcome of the dispute
Business relationships remain intact between parties
Cons
Can not happen without the willingness of both or all parties involved
Ineffective if no mutually acceptable agreement is reached
Multiple rounds of negotiation can delay the resolution process
MEDIATION
Mediation is facilitated by a mediator to settle disputes. The mediator is a neutral third party assisting the conflicting parties to reach an agreement or understanding.
Mediation is also known as "brokered negotiation" or 'assisted discussion. Unlike arbitration or litigation, the mediator just facilitates communication between the parties involved in the conflict. It does not provide any verdict or does not make any decision for the parties.
It depends solely on the parties to decide the terms of the agreement. There is no legal right or wrong involved in the process.
Pros
Helps to maintain a healthy business relationship
The quickest dispute resolution method
Completely confidential
Huch cheaper than litigation and other dispute resolution options
Seeks to find a resolution that leaves both parties happy
Cons
If an agreement cannot be reached, further action will be required and the cost of mediation has essentially been wasted
Risk of sharing sensitive information that might weaken the participant's position
CONCILIATION
In many references, conciliation is similar to mediation. However, unlike mediation where the mediator meets the involved parties privately, here the neutral third party facilitates settlement in the presence of both parties.
Shuttle diplomacy is involved in conciliation where the independent third party listens to the disputants of both parties. Based on the proceedings, the conciliator proposes a resolution in writing. Thereafter, it depends upon the parties to either accept the proposed resolution or reject it. In no way, the parties are obliged to obey the outcome.
In case, the dispute moves to arbitration, the conciliator can not be appointed as an arbitrator unless both parties agree in writing.
Pros
Faster resolution of disputes than litigation or arbitration
Less expensive than other methods of dispute resolution
All communications and proceedings are open and transparent
The outcome is tailored to suit the needs of both parties
Cons
The outcome of conciliation is not legally binding
The conciliator has no judicial power to enforce the resolution
ARBITRATION
In arbitration, the conflicting parties agree to submit the dispute to one or more independent arbitrators. It is often called privatized litigation since the proceedings and verdict are outside the domain of the legally binding and enforceable judicial jurisdiction. Yet parties involved in the conflict are bound to obey the outcome of the arbitration procedure since they mutually choose the arbitrator.
It may be important to observe that arbitration, like litigation, focuses on the parties" legal rights and an arbitral proceeding is sometimes not much different from a court proceeding. However, unlike litigation where everything is made public, arbitration maintains the privacy and secrecy of the matter. Entities who are not involved in the proceedings are not allowed.
Pros
Arbitrators hold stronger powers than adjudicators
Completely confidential process
Both parties can decide on the arbitrator
Arbitration is cheaper than litigation
Offers more flexibility to court proceedings
Cons
Limited appeal rights for the losing party
Parties must bear the costs of the arbitrator and the venue
Limited power is available if the parties fail to here to the arbitration
ADJUDICATION
Adjudication is a process similar to arbitration except for the fact that it is legally binding. Unlike arbitration which is private process of resolving disputes, adjudication is a public process and decisions are taken by a judge or a panel of judges who acts as the adjudicator. Adjudication being governed by a country's formal rules and acts, it requires more formal evidence and rule based procedures.
Pros
Adjudicator is completely independent of both parties
Helps to maintain a company's cash flow
Inexpensive compared to court proceedings
Cons
The adjudicator's powers are limited
Further action may be required if the losing party fails to adhere to the outcome reached
LITIGATION
Litigation is a confrontational way of resolving disputes that focuses on legal rights. This is due to the adversarial nature of the litigation process, where one party confronts the other party/parties using the formal rules and laws of the jurisdictional area.
However, litigation as the final means of dispute resolution has decreased in recent years due to the extended time it takes to settle disputes or reach to a verdict. Instead, it's being used to supervise and support other dispute resolution mechanisms or to enforce their results. This helps to efficiently implement alternative dispute resolution methods.
The final decision is binding and enforceable to all parties involved in the proceeding
Cons
Undoubtedly, it is the slowest yet most expensive process among all the dispute resolution methods
The whole proceeding is public and nothing can be kept confidential
Which Method is Best for Construction Disputes?
The circumstances and context of every construction dispute can be different. Hence, the best method for construction dispute resolution depends on the specific circumstances of the dispute. Some disputes may be more complex than others and may require a more formal and lengthy process.
Other disputes may be less complex and could be resolved more quickly and cost-effectively through dispute resolution methods such as negotiation, mediation, or arbitration. When it comes to more formal dispute resolution methods, arbitration and litigation are the most popular, especially for binding and enforceable decisions.
Litigation can be a time-consuming and expensive process, and the parties have less control over the outcome, as the decision is in the hands of a judge or jury. In contrast, arbitration can be quicker, and less expensive, and the parties have more control over the process and the outcome | eng | cebbf341-b997-4dc7-a619-376767b2dfdd | https://www.blackridgeresearch.com/blog/construction-project-dispute-conflict-resolution-settlement-methods |
What are the optimal conditions or requirements for a patient undergoing an IVF cycle?
There are no optimal conditions, as each patient is different, but there are certain requirements for good physical and mental health to be able to carry a pregnancy to term. The younger the woman is, the better the results will be, as age is the main factor limiting the success of assisted reproduction.

At least 125 tombs discovered at Roman-era cemetery in Gaza
GAZA (Reuters): Archaeologists working on a 2,000-year-old Roman cemetery discovered in Gaza last year have found at least 125 tombs, most with skeletons still largely intact, and two rare lead sarcophaguses, the Palestinian Ministry of Antiquities said.
The impoverished Palestinian territory was an important trading post for civilisations as far back as the ancient Egyptians and the Philistines depicted in the Bible, through the Roman empire and the crusades.
In the past, local archaeologists reburied findings for lack of funding but French organisations have helped excavate this site, discovered in February last year by a construction crew working on an Egyptian-funded housing project.
"It is the first time in Palestine we have discovered a cemetery that has 125 tombs, and it is the first time in Gaza we have discovered two sarcophaguses made of lead," Fadel Al-A'utul, an expert at the French School of Biblical and Archeological Research, told Reuters at the site.
One of the two sarcophaguses was decorated with images of grapes and the other with dolphins said A'utul, whose organisation is supervising the work with help from French aid agency Premiere Urgance International.
"We need funds to preserve this archeological site so that history does not get washed away," he added.
A'utul said he hoped the site would become a tourist destination, with a museum to display the findings.
At least 25 engineers and technicians were engaged on Sunday, despite the soaring heat, in digging, clearing the dirt, and preserving the skeletons. They have also been piecing together clay jars found inside some of the graves. | eng | 02163d3d-1840-4fa6-ac86-6685a397e7b2 | https://thefrontierpost.com/at-least-125-tombs-discovered-at-roman-era-cemetery-in-gaza/ |

I can´t really help. The only a bit churchy based music I heard was stuff like Mingus´"Wendsday Night Prayer Meeting" or Horace Silver´s "The Preacher" or Hank Mobley´s "Baptist Beat".
They groove, that´s all I can say.
Not more, maybe because religion never was a topic with my parents or friends or women..... and I´m no member of a religious group and don´t intend to have a religious funeral after my last beat.....
Nor has it ben with me. As I said multiple times in the thread, I was raised with zero, zilch religion and am completely agnostic. This kind of thing appeals to me as an outsider looking in, and also because the mood nicely pairs with the bleakness of January and February.
But it is really an aesthetic I am seeking. Messages of rebirth, the ecology, etc. The best examples will have a choir, along with a jazz-rock backing, e.g, updating religious messages with the sounds of today. If they throw in a Moog, even better. Any religious elements will be coming from a 70s progressive perspective and not an 80s fundamentalist angle.
David Axelrod's Earth Rot album is probably the purest distillation of what I'm seeking, and he sustains it for the entire LP. If In a Silent Way had a choir and lyrics about rebirth or the ecology, it would make the cut. | eng | e2f00f02-db22-45d7-aa75-838ce8a1faf7 | https://www.organissimo.org/forum/topic/88910-help-ttk-with-weird-post-jesus-christ-superstar-religiousecology-compilation/page/2/#comment-1811520 |

In mammals, iodine functions biochemically as a component of thyroid hormones, which are required for many aspects of normal metabolism, growth, and development. In addition to the iodine that is required as a central component of the thyroid hormones, selenium is essential for thyroid hormone synthesis and activation and for their proper metabolism. The role of selenium in biological systems is much more complex than previously supposed. Selenium deficiency may cause abnormal thyroid hormone metabolism1–3 that then results in decreased growth rate, reduced fertility, and impaired immune responses and resistance to infectious diseases.4 Thyroxine, which is the major hormone product of the thyroid gland, is biologically inactive and needs to be converted to its active metabolite T3 via 5a-monodeiodination.5,6 Deiodination of T4 to T3 is catalyzed by selenoenzymes, namely deiodinase types I, II, and III. These enzymes contain selenium as seleno cystein at their active sites.7–9 Another effect of selenium on thyroid hormone metabolism is derived from its action on selenium-containing GSH-Pxs and thioredoxin reductase, which protect the thyroid gland from H2O2 that is released during the synthesis of thyroid hormones.10–12
The discovery of the influence of selenium on thyroid hormone metabolism has concentrated considerable research into the effects of selenium deficiency on thyroid hormone homeostasis in humans and other species. Nutritional deficiency of selenium in rats results in decreases in the activity of deiodinase type I and serum T3 concentration.13 A similar situation has been observed in calves that are fed diets low in selenium.14,15 Effects of a low-selenium diet on serum concentrations of T4 and T3 in calves,1 heifer calves on pasture,15 Angus and crossbred beef cows,16 and housed dairy cows consuming preserved food17 have also been reported. However, there is limited information about thyroid hormone status in association with naturally occurring clinical forms of selenium deficiency in farm animals kept under field conditions. The purpose of the study reported here was to assess changes in serum concentrations of thyroid hormones associated with selenium deficiency myopathy in lambs. The lambs included in the study were affected with a subacute form of selenium deficiency myopathy (nutritional myodegeneration or so-called stiff-lamb disease), which is the most well-described and common clinical form of selenium deficiency in large animals.
Materials and Methods
Animals—The study proposal was reviewed and approved by the Department of Clinical Sciences' review board at the Veterinary Faculty of Urmia University (reference No. 003.D.84). The study was conducted in Urmia (northwest Iran), where selenium deficiency myopathy is a common disease in lambs. Lambs with subacute selenium deficiency myopathy, which had been either referred to the Veterinary Teaching Clinic and Hospital of Urmia University by clients or identified by veterinarians during farm visits, were the target population. Tentative diagnosis was made on the basis of clinical signs including stiffness; trembling of the limbs; weakness; inability to stand; and large, firm muscle masses. These lambs were from flocks in which previous cases of selenium deficiency myopathy had been confirmed through determination of circulating concentration of selenium and activities of GSH-Px and CK, response to treatment, or necropsy findings.
The group of 35 affected lambs was comprised of 11 males and 24 females that were 3 weeks to 4 months old; each lamb had clinical and clinicopathologic characteristics of selenium deficiency myopathy. Affected lambs that had both low erythrocyte GSH-Px activity and high plasma CK activity were classified as selenium deficient and included in the study. Thirty healthy agematched lambs (6 males and 24 females) from herds without any evidence of the disease were also included (with owner consent) in the study. Erythrocyte GSH-Px and plasma CK activities in these healthy lambs were within reference ranges; these lambs were therefore classified as non-selenium deficient. Data collected from each group during the study were compared.
Sample collection—Ten milliliters of blood from the jugular vein of each lamb was collected into tubes that contained no anticoagulant or heparin (1 U/mL of blood). Heparin-treated blood samples were centrifuged at 1,500 × g for 15 minutes to separate plasma from erythrocytes. The plasma was used for CK activity determination; erythrocytes were washed 3 times with saline (0.9% NaCl) solution, and the hemolysate was stored frozen at ×20°C (for < 4 days) until GSHPx activity determination was performed. Serum was harvested from blood samples with no anticoagulant by centrifugation at 1,500 × g for 15 minutes; serum aliquots were frozen at ×20°C for subsequent determination of TSH, tT4, and tT3 concentrations. The duration of storage (interval from sample collection to assessment) was < 8 days. Samples (plasma and serum) with hemolysis were excluded from analysis.
Sample preparation and enzyme and hormone assays—All samples were run in duplicate. Glutathione peroxidase activity of hemolyzed erythrocytes was measured spectrophotometricallya at 37°C by use of a commercial kit,b according to the modified method of Paglia and Valentine.18 Both intraand interassay coefficients of variation were < 2%. Plasma CK activity was assessed by use of a commercial kitc and an autoanalyzer.d
Serum TSH concentration was measured via radioimmunoassaye; for use in sheep, the method was modified with the inclusion of rabbit anti-sheep TSH,f according to the procedure described by Sapin et al.19 Intra-assay and interassay coefficients of variation were 5.1% and 6.5%, respectively.
Serum tT4 and tT3 concentrations were determined by use of commercial ELISA kits according to the manufacturer's instructions.g,h Briefly, serum was added to microtiter plate wells that were coated with anti-T4 or anti-T3 antibodies and then incubated with T4-horseradish peroxidase or T3-horseradish peroxidase conjugates for 60 minutes before the wells were washed. Horseradish peroxidase substrate was added into each well and incubated for 30 minutes. The intensity of the color formed is inversely proportional to the concentrations of T4 and T3 in the samples. The absorbance was measured by use of a microtiter plate reader. A set of standards was used to plot a standard curve from which the amounts of T4 and T3 in samples were calculated. In our laboratory, the intra-assay and interassay coefficients of variation have been determined to be 5.4% and 7.2% for the T4 assay, respectively, and 3.8% and 4.2% for the T3 assay, respectively.
Statistical analysis—Descriptive statistics were calculated and data were checked for outliers and for normality by use of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Except for serum tT3 concentration and plasma CK activity, which were transformed to normal distribution by logarithmic conversion, the distributions of other variables were considered normal (P > 0.05 [significance set at a value of P < 0.05]). For each variable, independent Student t tests were used to compare the mean values between affected and healthy lambs. Pearson correlation was used to investigate the interrelationships between variables. Data are expressed as mean ± SD. For all comparisons, a value of P < 0.05 was considered significant. Analyses were performed with statistical software.i
*For this variable, value is significantly (P < 0.001) different from that of the healthy lambs. NR = Not reported.
In all lambs with selenium deficiency myopathy, erythrocyte GSH-Px activity was < 60 U/g of hemoglobin (reference range, 60 to 180 U/g of hemoglobin), which is the lower reference limit suggested by other researchers.20 Mean ± SD plasma CK activity of affected lambs was 1,993.2 ± 856.9 U/L, a value that was greatly increased from the accepted normal plasma activity of 52 ± 10 U/L20 in sheep (reference range, 100 to 547 U/L).21 In addition, in lambs with selenium deficiency myopathy, mean serum tT4 concentration was 77.2 ± 6.0 nmol/L; this value was increased, compared with the published mean value of 56.8 ± 14.5 nmol/L (reference range, 38.0 to 79.2 nmol/L).22 In 14 of 35 (40%) affected lambs, serum tT4 concentration was greater than the upper reference limit (79.2 nmol/L)22 reported for sheep. Mean serum concentration of tT3 in the affected lambs was significantly less than that in the healthy lambs; however, the value in any individual affected lamb was not less than the lower reference limit for this hormone concentration in sheep (reference range, 0.97 to 2.30 nmol/L22). Mean serum tT3 concentration in lambs with selenium deficiency myopathy also did not differ markedly from the mean value reported for sheep (1.40 ± 0.15 nmol/L and 1.53 ± 0.43 nmol/L, respectively).22
Discussion
Results of the present study provided some information regarding alterations in thyroid hormone metabolism in lambs with selenium deficiency myopathy. Affected lambs had higher serum concentrations of tT4 and lower serum concentrations of tT3, compared with findings in healthy lambs. Similar findings in rats23,24 and calves fed selenium-deficient diets14,15 and in cattle grazing on selenium-deficient pasture25 have been reported. In agreement with results of another study,20 a significant negative correlation between erythrocyte GSH-Px and plasma CK activities was evident in lambs with selenium deficiency myopathy in the present study, which suggests that muscular damage increases with deterioration of selenium status.
Selenium-containing deiodinases regulate the synthesis and degradation of the biologically active thyroid hormone T3, and peripheral deiodination of T4 plays a primary role in regulating thyroid hormones homeostasis.26,27 The tT3:tT4 concentration ratio has been considered as a functional marker of selenium status in humans.12 Conversion of T4 to T3 can be assessed by monitoring the T3:T4 concentration ratio in blood. In humans, progressive reduction of this ratio can be reversed with selenium supplementation.28 In agreement with the findings from animal experiments29 and human studies,28,30 lambs with selenium deficiency myopathy in the present study had significantly increased serum concentration of tT4 and significantly decreased serum concentration of tT3, compared with values in healthy lambs, and there was a significant negative correlation between erythrocyte GSH-Px activity and serum tT4 concentration. These alterations could be attributed to reduced conversion of tT4 to tT3 in peripheral tissues as a result of decreased activity of selenium-containing deiodinases, which in turn decreased the tT3:tT4 concentration ratio.
The mean serum concentration of T4 in lambs with selenium deficiency myopathy was significantly higher than that of healthy lambs; however, in 14 of 35 affected lambs, the serum concentrations of tT4 were higher than the upper reference limit reported for sheep. We do not have an explanation for this finding; nevertheless, the intensity and duration of selenium deficiency and individual variations could be among the probable possibilities.
Although high T4 concentration in the blood of selenium-deficient animals is a well-recognized finding,23,31 there are conflicting reports about alterations in T3 concentration in those affected animals. Golstein et al32 reported that the plasma half-life of T3 in control and selenium-deficient rats was similar and concluded that there is a higher efficiency of thyroid hormone synthesis in the thyroid gland of selenium-deficient rats. In another study,33 serum T3 concentrations in selenium-deficient rats remained within reference range, despite markedly high circulating T4 concentrations; furthermore, the serum half-life of T3 in the selenium-deficient rats was increased by 20%, compared with values in selenium-supplemented rats. From these data, the investigators concluded that increased T3 sulfate generation in selenium-deficient rats may lead to greater T3 availability through enterohepatic recycling of the iodothyronine and that this may explain why there were only minor changes in serum T3 concentration.33 Although selenium-deficient lambs in the present study had significantly lower circulating tT3 concentration, compared with that in healthy lambs, the mean concentration of this hormone in affected lambs was within the reference range defined for sheep. In addition, the serum tT3 concentration was not lower than the minimum reference limit for sheep in any affected lamb. Furthermore, although both erythrocyte GSH-Px activity and serum tT3 concentration in the lambs with selenium deficiency myopathy were significantly lower than the values in healthy lambs, there was a significant negative relationship between these variables in the affected group. The cause of this interrelationship is not clear, but it is likely that the increase in plasma half-life of tT3 that has been identified in selenium-deficient rats32,33 may also occur in selenium-deficient lambs. Our observations suggested that, as in selenium-deficient rats, the alterations in the blood concentration of tT3 are not as remarkable as alterations in blood concentration of tT4 in selenium-deficient lambs. However, because of the significant decrease in serum tT3 concentration in lambs with selenium deficiency myopathy in the present study, compared with the value in healthy lambs, and because of the important roles of this hormone in the regulation of metabolism (eg, stimulation of oxygen utilization, provision of glucose to cells, enhancement of the basal metabolic rate and heat production, stimulation of protein synthesis, and increasing lipid metabolism), growth, and development, it is necessary to evaluate the effects and consequences of alteration of serum T3 concentration in the well-being of selenium-deficient lambs.
Another finding of the present study was that, compared with the findings in healthy lambs, the serum concentration of TSH in lambs with selenium deficiency myopathy was increased, despite an increased circulating concentration of tT4. Similar findings in seleniumdeficient euthyroid rats have been reported.26,31 Under normal circumstances, plasma TSH concentration decreases as plasma T4 concentration increases, but in rats with hyperthyroxinemia of selenium deficiency, plasma TSH concentration is unchanged or increased, indicating an inability of the pituitary gland to respond to the increased plasma T4 concentration.26 The absence of significant correlation between serum TSH and T4 concentrations in selenium-deficient lambs in our study is in agreement with results of studies26,31 in seleniumdeficient rats. Chanoine et al31 reported that serum T4 concentrations increased by 38%, serum T3 concentrations decreased by 22%, and serum TSH concentration increased by 52% in selenium-deficient euthyroid rats, compared with values in rats receiving a selenium supplement. Because T3 was the only thyroid hormone for which circulating concentration was decreased in selenium-deficient rats, those authors suggested that basal TSH secretion was modulated by circulating T3. Although serum TSH concentration was only increased by 52% in selenium-deficient rats in that study,31 serum TSH concentration in lambs with selenium deficiency myopathy was increased by 370%, compared with values in healthy lambs, in the investigation reported here. In addition, the significant positive correlation between serum TSH and serum tT3 concentrations in seleniumdeficient lambs in our study was unexpected. The cause and consequences of such an extraordinary increase in serum TSH concentration and its interaction with T3 need to be determined through further investigation.
Overall, the results of the present study suggest that in sheep with selenium deficiency, as in seleniumdeficient laboratory animals, thyroid hormone metabolism is altered. Those alterations may contribute to economically important disorders, such as reproductive abnormalities (abortion, early embryonic loss, and stillbirth), neonatal death, and septic processes, which develop frequently in selenium-deficient flocks in the geographic region of this investigation. | eng | 16aac1fb-2bb1-4a22-b367-4bcc44660df9 | https://avmajournals.avma.org/view/journals/ajvr/69/5/ajvr.69.5.659.xml?rskey=0X3GOe&result=54 |

Not reliably. First of all, it is not rated for outdoors use, so may be disabled or damaged by the outdoor environment (moisture, temperature extremes). Even if not, it is a "change in heat" sensor, which is likely to be confused by the constantly changing outdoors temperatures as opposed to the "constant temperature" it is designed for.
@commonsensezon the sensors itself do not run on wifi they run on there own signal and communicate to the base station, wifi extender or booster will do nothing for that. The only thing that runs on wifi is the base station for primary signal to communicate to the monitoring company and any cameras. | eng | 055a36ef-f4d4-498f-80aa-0614978ba7e2 | https://support.simplisafe.com/conversations/gen-3-simplisafe/outdoor-motion-sensor/6190c67a8ea41ebb06239265 |

If so, we're going to use some cool, neuro-reflexes today, to help improve what you're experiencing.
We've been talking for the last few weeks about pain, different inputs, and how pain can be created from visual issues, from breathing issues, from all kinds of stuff, but I also want to point out that how we move through the world can also influence our mechanics, and eventually our pain.
So what I'm gonna show you today are a couple of quick fixes for restricted ranges of motion in the shoulder, or pain, by using, or taking advantage of neurology. All right?
So the easiest way for me to explain this is to think about walking. All right?
When we walk, our arms swing opposite one-another, right? They don't swing like this, hopefully. And hopefully they do move.
It's not normal to walk and not have your arms not in motion, 'cause we have actual pathways devoted to this in our nervous system.
Now one of the things that's very useful in understanding this is that you can take advantage of some of these inborn reflexes, or native reflexes, to help improve movement, and improve pain issues.
So let me give you a very simple follow-along plan based off your shoulder.
So the first thing I need you to think about, let's say we're gonna work on my right shoulder, and we're going to test this motion, all right? So I move up like this. This is called shoulder flexion.
Now if I have problems, I come up and I go, "Okay, I have pain, or I start to get stiff right in here." I want you to think about what would be the opposite motion, with the other arm, in a normal portion of the gait cycle.
So if I'm having issues here, what we would be doing in a gait cycle, if we were really moving our arms, is our other arm would be going backwards. It would be going into what's called extension.
Now one of the things that we find is that by activating, if you want to call it that, or facilitating the extension on the opposite side of the body, we can actually improve flexion on the side we're interested in.
So if you, again, have problems in this motion, here's an easy way to start to work on it. You can grab a band. It doesn't have to be a band, it can be a rope, anything that you want to work on, anything you want to use, and you can load isometrically the non-painful, non-stiff arm, into the opposite motion of the motion of the motion that you want to improve.
So, for instance, I'm here, I want to improve my shoulder flexion. All right? So what I can do is I can load the opposite arm into the opposite motion.
So in this particular case, I'm gonna take the band, I'm gonna pull my arm backwards, all right? I'll stay a nice tall posture, so this is activating the extension on this side is just hard because I'm utilizing a band.
So I'm gonna pull hard into extension, and I'm gonna hold that. Six, seven, eight seconds. As I'm holding, I'm going to actually keep working on, and retesting the restricted range of motion that I have. All right?
So that's version number one, where I do an isometric hold into the opposing motion.
So let's say I have problems raising my arm out to the side. This is called abduction. The opposite of that would be pulling my arm into my side.
So let's say I'm stuck here. Grab my band, wrap it up, pull into my side, so I'm now activating adduction on this side, and as I hold that, I then go back and keep practicing the problematic range, making sure that I'm not moving into pain.
Now that's version one of this particular series.
The second version of this is to actually reverse the movements. Now what I mean by that is pretty simple.
In this last example, I was holding an isometric contraction, meaning I'm just pulling and holding on the non-dysfunctional side, as I'm moving the opposite side.
What we want to do now is we actually want to work the opposite side while we're holding the dysfunctional side still.
Let me give an example. Right shoulder, let's say it's a problem here. I have pain, or I have restriction. What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna come to that spot and then I'm gonna reduce my range of motion. I don't want to be right at the edge of pain, all right, I want to be back below. Edge of the Grand Canyon, take one big step back.
All right, so come down below that. Hold that position, and now I'm going to actually use the band, and do some small repetitions of motion into the opposing direction. All right?
So in this particular case, I'm pulling my arm in, that's called adduction, so I'm just going to do that five, six, seven times, holding this position. Relax, and retest. All right?
So it's two different versions. In one, we're holding an isometric on the good side. In the second version, I'm moving the good side, while holding a safe isometric position on the dysfunctional side.
Now I know this can be a little confusing. You might want to take a piece of paper out and write it down, or figure out a little diagram, but conceptually, it's very simple. And as I said, it's all based off the fact that when you have some intrinsic wiring patterns in the spinal cord and the brain, that whenever I flex my right arm, that naturally helps me extend my left arm, depending on what parts of the musculature we're looking at.
So this is not a fix it for everybody kind of exercise. But in many cases, we find that the addition of something like this to other things that we've already been working on, is a really, really powerful rehab tool.
We also use exercises like this in a gym setting, in an athletic setting, in order to facilitate better function, so even if you're not in pain, and you're just wanting to get stronger, in a given motion, you may find that using some kind of similar setup actually improves your results.
So I know this one can be a little confusing. If you have any questions, type your questions below the blog. We'll get back to you, try and give you some direction.
Otherwise, just go slowly with it, play with it. This little exploration. And see what happens.

Village Funds Wells for Neighbors
There are three new wells in Africa thanks to your help. But here's the amazing part: It all started with one. Why does that matter? Because when you gave to BGR, you gave one community the tools to deliver others from the pit of hopelessness.
For a village of 2,000 people in West Africa, the "pit" was a literal one.
A dark, open pit well, where groundwater seeped up, brown and muddy. This was the water they cooked with, washed with, and drank. But it was all they had. The flow was so slow, women would sleep by the well so they could wake each other when enough water had filled back into the pit for the next one to draw.
That's no way for people to live. With your support, two BGR partners provided a quick solution: repairing a broken hand pump on a nearby well. For only a few hundred dollars, they extracted the old galvanized pipes, replaced them with longer-lasting stainless steel, and taught several local villagers how to repair the pump themselves. After a few hours, clean water was flowing again!
But one clean water source for 2,000 people? The math didn't add up. BGR partners returned a few months later—and this time, they brought the big trucks. After drilling a borehole 70 meters into the earth, a new fresh source of water was available. The villagers erupted into song and dance.
To make sure people understood the importance of their new water source, the team gathered seven locals and christened them the WASH team—a group dedicated to maintaining the wells and teaching the people about sanitation and hygiene. They even learned how they could make money from the pumps to fund other initiatives in the community.
There's so much to praise God for in this story! And you should celebrate that you have a part in giving clean water to villages like this every day!
But BGR measures success by when a community no longer needs people like BGR for help. When they can live—and thrive—on their own. And when they can pour their blessings into others. In the case of this village, clean water was a gift to be shared.
When BGR teams returned a year later, the village had done such a good job maintaining the wells that they'd saved enough money to help two other villages fund wells of their own. Now, that's worth celebrating | eng | 0f043f91-10a7-4d84-b203-1620d72b86d7 | https://gobgr.org/news/paying-it-forward-african-community-helps-fund-wells-for-neighboring-villages/ |
Is there any bare metal example of using HPS EMAC? Some low level functions to control EMAC module. I can't find any in hwlib directory. I'm also interested in UDP support for bare metal applications. What is the programming model for this interface? Has anyone worked with Ethernet controller not from U-Boot or Linux?
I have not come across one and to implement one from scratch would be a lot of work. It would probably be possible to port a light weight UDP stack to it but if that hasn't already happened then again that could be a lot of work. Even with Nios you typically run a network stack with an OS to add networking | eng | d996a573-434d-48c1-8e8c-7760012d0968 | https://community.intel.com:443/t5/Nios-V-II-Embedded-Design-Suite/Bare-metal-Ethernet-example/td-p/125480 |

I get that people either hate movies or love them, but this was a middle of the line movie. It had a pretty decent story, with a good twist at the end. Th acting was done very well, and the writing was decent. Yes the cinematography could have been better, but for a low budget movie, I think it was pretty good. It isn't a 10, but it aint a 2. If you want a movie that gives you some action, (but is shot in one location like reservoir dogs, so it can get a little slow), and is an ok thriller then this is your movie. It is a good Monday night movie. 6.4 | eng | 6d506ce2-363c-46c1-870d-5e3653bd5e74 | https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5304996/ |
What Causes Hair Loss?
Have you been noticing a significant amount of hair loss lately? It's completely normal to lose about 50-100 strands of hair per day because of our hair's natural growth cycle. If you've been seeing some bald patches or combing out more hair than normal, you might be experiencing hair loss or hair growth problems.
The good news is that there are methods of remedying hair loss. The first step in finding a hair solution is understanding the root of the issue.
If your hair is always up in a tight bun, ponytail, or braids, you're putting a lot of friction on your hair follicles. Prolonged friction can cause traction alopecia, or hair loss that results from constant friction. The best hair solution for traction alopecia is to give your hair a break from tight styles as much as possible.
2. Hormonal changes
Many women notice that their hair things after giving birth. This type of hair loss is caused by a drop in estrogen levels. The good news is that women's estrogen levels typically balance back out after giving birth, but it can be difficult to deal with in the meantime.
A thyroid imbalance may also be the cause of your hair growth issues. The thyroid plays a significant role in hair production – if the thyroid is over or underactive, it will be difficult for your body to maintain normal hair growth.
3. Prescription medications
Certain prescription medications have hair loss as a side effect. These medications include blood thinners, acne medication, antidepressants, and medications for lowering cholesterol.
4. Poor nutrition
A balanced diet is important to keep all parts of your body healthy – including your hair. Hair loss can occur if you aren't getting enough protein and vitamins through your food. Make sure your diet includes plenty of vegetables (dark, leafy greens are best) and plenty of sources of protein like beans, meat, and eggs.
5. Genetics
Hair loss is very often a product of genetics. Most people will notice that they lose hair in the same pattern as older people in their family have – hair loss will occur in the same areas and begin around the same age. If you take proper precautions and use hair solutions, you might be able to remedy the genetic predisposition for hair loss for yourself and future generations.
6. Stress
Stress has the power to manifest itself in physical ailments such as allergies, headaches, weight loss, hair loss, and more. Finding ways to manage stress is important for your overall wellness. You may be able to cure stress-related hair loss through activities like meditating, exercising, and talking to your friends and family members about what is causing your stress.

To prevent Omicron, experts teach you 7 tips to enhance your immune system against COVID-19
Since 2019, the world has been grappling with a global pandemic caused by a coronavirus known as SARS-CoV-2, leading to a highly infectious disease called COVID-19. This disease can result in severe acute respiratory syndrome, specific high-inflammatory responses, vascular damage, microvascular changes, angiogenesis, and extensive thrombus formation [1]. Currently, the primary global public health response centers around the administration of COVID-19 vaccines, with various vaccine options available [2]. After more than two years of this pandemic, Taiwan has also imported newly developed COVID-19 drugs for individuals with risk factors for severe disease and those diagnosed with mild to moderate COVID-19 [3]. Amid the ongoing pandemic, it's crucial to continue taking measures to protect oneself from COVID-19 transmission, particularly as the Omicron variant, known for its high transmissibility, the potential for reinfections, and breakthrough infections, continues to spread [4].
What is COVID-19? What is Omicron?
SARS-CoV-2 is a novel human coronavirus responsible for the global pandemic of 2019, causing the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) worldwide [5]. COVID-19 diagnosis generally follows four clinical stages: the first stage is characterized by upper respiratory tract infections; the second stage involves respiratory distress and pneumonia onset; the third stage is marked by clinical deterioration dominated by a cytokine storm and severe inflammation; the fourth stage involves recovery or, in severe cases, death [1]. Several variants have been identified, including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, with the Delta variant demonstrating increased resistance to public health control measures like mask-wearing and isolation [6]. Currently, the predominant variant is Omicron, initially discovered in South Africa, raising global concerns about its transmissibility, pathogenicity, and vaccine immunity. Increasing research indicates higher transmissibility and breakthrough infections with the Omicron variant [7].
What are the symptoms of Omicron infection?
The U.S. CDC has noted that most individuals infected with Omicron experience mild symptoms. However, the large number of mild cases in the community can strain the healthcare system. That's why taking measures to protect oneself remains crucial [8]. Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare provides information on the clinical manifestations of confirmed COVID-19 cases, including fever, dry cough, fatigue, and approximately one-third of cases experiencing shortness of breath and low blood oxygen levels. Other symptoms may include muscle pain, headache, sore throat, diarrhea, and some cases even report the loss of smell or taste, or abnormal changes [9]. However, the Omicron variant typically causes milder or asymptomatic symptoms, but it can still lead to moderate or severe illness, especially in unvaccinated individuals [8].
How to prevent Omicron infection?
The Ministry of Health and Welfare recommends measures to prevent infection with the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2). People should avoid direct contact with secretions from suspected COVID-19 cases and prevent airborne transmission. Related preventive measures include:
Stay updated and comply with the latest epidemic control policies announced by the Central Epidemic Command Center.
Maintain good hand hygiene, especially before meals and after using the toilet. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unclean hands.
Adhere to mask-wearing and other epidemic prevention measures when using public transportation.
Reduce visits to hospitals and other non-emergency medical needs.
Comply with relevant regulations if you are under home quarantine or isolation.
If you feel unwell, stop attending work or school and stay at home to rest. Contact health authorities promptly if medical care is required. Provide information about your travel history, contact history, occupation, and whether there are any clusters of cases among your family members or colleagues.
Adhere to COVID-19 vaccination policies and complete vaccinations as scheduled.
Regarding vaccination, current vaccines are effective at preventing severe illness, hospitalization, and death caused by Omicron variant infections. However, fully vaccinated individuals may still experience breakthrough infections. Vaccinated individuals have a reduced risk of severe disease compared to those who are unvaccinated. Therefore, it is recommended to receive the COVID-19 vaccine to reduce the risk of severe illness, in addition to following the Ministry of Health and Welfare's guidelines [8].
What to do if you contract Omicron?
The Pharmacists Association recommends keeping common medications at home for individuals diagnosed with COVID-19:
Fever and pain relievers (acetaminophen).
Antihistamines (for runny nose).
Cough suppressants and expectorants.
Gastrointestinal medication and electrolyte supplements.
Thermometer and pulse oximeter.
Vitamin B and C supplements.
If you continue to feel unwell or your symptoms worsen, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly.
Nutrient Supplements to Boost Immunity
Vitamin D
An analytical study of 14 research studies found that lower blood levels of vitamin D were associated with higher COVID-19 incidence and severity. The authors suggest that this evidence should be sufficient to recommend the use of vitamin D supplements for preventing or treating COVID-19. Vitamin D can reduce the risk of acute respiratory infections and COVID-19 through various pathways, such as decreasing virus survival and replication, reducing the risk of inflammatory cytokine production, and maintaining endothelial integrity. [10].
Vitamin C
COVID-19 treatment options are limited, with a focus on supportive care. Clinical studies on respiratory infections have found that oral vitamin C (2-8 grams/day) can reduce the incidence and duration of respiratory infections. Research on using vitamin C to treat COVID-19 in confirmed patients is ongoing, with a focus on its potential to help with acute respiratory distress syndrome and multi-organ dysfunction. [11].
Studies suggest that vitamin C has positive effects on respiratory infections.
Vitamin B
Research indicates that vitamin B not only helps establish and maintain a healthy immune system but may also prevent or alleviate COVID-19 symptoms or support treatment of COVID-19 infection. Vitamin B contributes to appropriate stimulation of innate and adaptive immune responses, reduces proinflammatory cytokine levels, improves respiratory function, and maintains endothelial integrity, thus reducing hospitalization time for COVID-19 patients. This study concludes that vitamin B can be used as an adjunct in COVID-19 treatment. [13].
Minerals
Zinc and selenium are important trace elements for the body's immune response.
Zinc is involved in immune regulation, and its deficiency significantly increases proinflammatory cytokines. [14]. Zinc is considered a mineral to supplement during COVID-19 infection and has dual immune-regulating and antiviral properties, inhibiting coronavirus synthesis, replication, and transcription. Research shows that zinc supplements can reduce COVID-19-related symptoms, such as lower respiratory tract infections. [15].
Selenium also has antioxidant abilities. A lack of selenium can lead to changes in immune response and viral pathogenicity. Studies have observed a correlation between selenium levels in the body and recovery rates after getting COVID-19.[16].
Fish Oil
Rich in Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), fish oil has a beneficial impact on immunity and inflammatory responses. Research has found that Omega-3 fatty acids can act against viruses by inhibiting influenza virus replication. [15]. According to experts from the European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism, the use of Omega-3 fatty acids may help improve oxygenation in COVID-19 patients. [17]. A large-scale epidemiological study found that people who supplemented Omega-3 fatty acids were 12% less likely to contract COVID-19. [18].
Elderberry
Elderberry has traditionally been used to prevent and treat respiratory diseases. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been increased discussion about elderberry supplements for treating or preventing viral respiratory diseases. An analysis of multiple experiments found that elderberry reduces the duration and severity of colds, making it a safe option for adjunct treatment of viral respiratory diseases. [19]. Another study found that elderberry inhibits the replication and attachment of human coronavirus NL63 (HCoV-NL63). While different from COVID-19, NL63 belongs to the same coronavirus family, making elderberry helpful in preventing coronavirus infections. [20].
Probiotics
Research indicates that COVID-19 can cause an imbalance in the gut microbiota, and probiotics are helpful in treating respiratory viral infections. Regulating gut microbiota is considered to have a supportive role in preventing and treating COVID-19. Research has found that Lactobacillus paracasei can regulate the expression of immune response-related genes, preventing the expression of proinflammatory markers induced by COVID-19 infection and suppressing inflammatory infections, potentially preventing COVID-19 infections. [22]. Research also found that Lactobacillus fermentum has antiviral activity against influenza A and COVID-19, preventing diseases caused by respiratory viruses. [23]. Lactobacillus rhamnosus significantly reduces COVID-19 activity and inhibits the secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6), a mediator of inflammatory storms. [24].
Conclusion
To prevent COVID-19, it's crucial to get vaccinated, wear masks, maintain social distance, avoid poorly ventilated spaces and crowds, wash your hands regularly, cover your coughs and sneezes, and monitor your health daily. [13]. Good nutrition is also essential for maintaining a strong immune system, and the listed nutrients can help you enhance your immunity by incorporating them into your daily diet to prevent infections | eng | 131e76bb-a882-4363-92b1-171c35a70593 | https://medschool.cc/en/article/omicron |
Combating Crime and Hate Speech with Big Data
Fighting crime isn't easy, and no matter how hard we work, there will always be tragedies and missed opportunities. But what if we could work to anticipate crimes? What if we could stop them before they happen? No, this isn't Minority Report, but just another instance of using big data to predict the future.
Predicting the future may be a little too bold, but it's not far off. Using the ever-increasing amounts of data we create everyday, big data toolshelp us recognize patterns, important variables and other key insights we can use to create predictive models. Already, we have seen big data potential in fighting and preventing disease. Could law enforcement not use the same techniques to fight and anticipate criminal activity? The LAPD is just one example of many using crime data, and other pieces of information, in an effort to improve crime prevention. Big data analytics have helped officers determine criminal hotspots, and have effectively lowered crime across Los Angeles. Already the LAPD has seen a reduction of 33 percent in burglaries, 21 percent in violent crime, and 12 percent in property crime in areas where these algorithms are being applied.
However, it isn't just local law enforcement looking to benefit from big data. In an effort to take things further, the Federal Government is teaming up with big data and social media in the hopes of cracking down on hate speech and preventing hate crimes. Unfortunately, hate crimes continue to be a major issue in the United States, with nearly 6,000 incidents reported in 2013. The Government is hoping to develop algorithms that could identify regions that tend to have higher instances of hate speech. From there, authorities could focus their efforts on improving awareness and outreach programs to combat the problem. Also, like in the case of the LAPD, officials could target potential hotspots or aggressors.
This may seem like a great solution. After all, we could stop crime before it strikes, which could mean saving lives. However, this approach could come at a cost some aren't willing to pay. At what point does constant monitoring of our conversations start to trample our right to free speech. As deplorable as some of these comments may be, this is still the United States, and people are entitled to speak their mind. In addition, all of this begs an interesting question; what would someone have to say, or post online, in order to become a person of interest in the federal database? If someone makes one simple comment, or shares an image for fun, are they now subject to greater oversight by the federal program? Will they suddenly be a suspect in every hate crime that occurs in their area? And finally, who decides what is considered a threat, hate speech or simply a joke?
The issues don't stop at interpreting online conversations. Whenever we look to anticipate behavior or predict crime, there is a serious concern for potential discrimination and profiling. When we start using data to profile possible criminals, we walk into a grey area. Someone may exhibit questionable behavior, but can we really condemn them if they haven't committed a crime? If analysis determines those with brown hair are 75 percent more likely to commit a hate crime, do we stop and question everyone with brown hair when we see them in a criminal hotspot? Will we start to follow people around, or label them as racists, simply because they live in areas our analyses have shown to have higher occurrences of hate speech?
It's certainly possible that big data, and big data analytics, could hold great potential in promoting civil rights and combating hate speech. Already we have seen the success of the LAPD and other crime units using data as a crime fighting strategy. The hope is it will serve as a tool to protect and empower those who feel underserved and voiceless, while helping us overcome prejudice and preventing crime. Still, authorities need to be very careful to not overstep their rights, and ignore civil freedoms. Overcoming one problem simply to create another won't solve anything. | eng | eee4859c-00ce-4491-8291-6b6adc275f20 | https://dzone.com/articles/combating-crime-and-hate |
sinus rhythm is important for a normal blood pressure
In order to understand the relationship between sinus rhythm and blood pressure, we first need to focus on the concept of blood pressure.
What is blood pressure?
Simply put, blood pressure is the outwards force that blood exerts on the walls of arteries. We need to keep this pressure within certain limits, so that nutrients, oxygen and waste products can be transported effectively around the body, between the various cells and organs.
Blood pressure is determined by two factors: the volume of blood being pumped out of the heart within a given timeframe and the resistance to the flow of this blood within the blood vessels (referred to as peripheral vascular resistance).
Recording blood pressure
When we record blood pressure, we get two values. The top value is called the systolic pressure and this relates to the contraction of the ventricles and ejection of blood from the heart, causing a pressure wave through the arterial system.
We can detect this pressure wave when we feel a person's pulse. The bottom value within the blood pressure recording is called the diastolic pressure, which is the background pressure within the arteries when the heart is resting between beats.
The volume of blood pumped out of a ventricle (usually referring to the left ventricle) in one beat is called the stroke volume and the volume ejected from the ventricle in one minute is called the cardiac output.
Cardiac output = stroke volume x heart rate (the number of stroke volumes in one minute).
Cardiac output is related to blood pressure as follows:
Blood pressure = cardiac output x peripheral vascular resistance
The above illustrates why the effective ejection of blood from the heart is crucial for maintaining blood pressure.
What is sinus rhythm?
Sinus rhythm coordinates the order and timing of atrial and ventricular contraction, ensuring that the atria have contracted and emptied their contents into the ventricles before the ventricles then contract. | eng | cf3f5e57-3a60-4a68-9904-9b139abdc6a8 | https://www.futurelearn.com/info/courses/ecg-assessment/0/steps/9344 |
Origin and Use of the Paschal Candle
ROME, APRIL 4, 2007 (Zenit) - Answered by Father Edward McNamara, professor of liturgy at the Regina Apostolorum university.
Q: Can you explain the origin of the paschal candle and how long after Easter is it to be lit during Mass? Is it to be brought out into the sanctuary and lit also during weddings and funerals throughout the year, as is done in one parish I visited? -- E.L., Fresno, California
A: The origin of the paschal candle is uncertain. The most likely origin is that it derived from the Lucernarium, the evening office with which early Christians began the vigil for every Sunday and especially that of Easter.
In turn, this rite is probably inspired by the Jewish custom of lighting a lamp at the conclusion of the Sabbath. The rite therefore has its roots in the very beginning of Christianity.
In the Lucernarium rite the light destined to dispel the darkness of night was offered to Christ as the splendor of the Father and indefectible light. This Sunday rite was logically carried out with greater solemnity during the Easter Vigil.
There is clear evidence that this solemn rite began no later than the second half of the fourth century. For example, the use of singing a hymn in praise of the candle and the Easter mystery is mentioned as an established custom in a letter of St. Jerome, written in 384 to Presidio, a deacon from Piacenza, Italy.
Sts. Ambrose and Augustine are also known to have composed such Easter proclamations. The poetic and solemn text of the "Exultet," or Easter proclamation now in use, originated in the fifth century but its author is unknown.
The use of the candle has varied over the centuries. Initially it was broken up after the Easter Vigil and its fragments given to the faithful. This was later transferred to the following Sunday; but from the 10th century the use prevailed of keeping it in a place of honor near the Gospel until the feast of the Ascension (now until Pentecost).
From around the 12th century the custom began of inscribing the current year on the candle as well as the dates of the principal movable feasts. The candle hence grew in size so as to merit the attribution of pillar mentioned in the "Exultet." There are cases of candles weighing about 300 pounds. The procession foreseen in the present rite requires much more moderate dimensions.
The paschal candle is usually blessed at the beginning of the Easter Vigil ceremonies and is placed on a special candlestick near the altar or ambo.
During the ceremony, five grains of incense representing Christ's wounds are inserted in the form of a cross. An alpha above the cross and an omega below (the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet) indicate that Christ is the beginning and end of all. The current year is traced on the four sides of the cross.
The candle remains in the presbytery during the 50 days of Easter season and is lit for all liturgical offices. After Pentecost it is left next to the baptismal font.
During the year it is lit during all baptisms and funeral services; the candle is placed next to the casket during the funeral Mass. In this way it symbolizes baptism as a death and resurrection in Christ, and also testifies to Christian certainty in the resurrection of the dead as well as to the fact that all are alive in the risen Christ.
The paschal candle may also be lit for some devotional practices, such as the fairly common custom of the faithful renewing their baptismal promises on concluding retreats and spiritual exercises.
Finally, while venerable legitimate customs might exist in some places, I am unaware of any official liturgical role for the paschal candle during the celebration of matrimony | eng | 7830e6c9-507e-4f19-87c9-87e65151e6be | https://www.catholic.org/featured/headline.php?ID=4221 |
The Heat Is On … Hydrate for Good Health
We are beginning a series of articles on the benefits of living in a senior care community. As the "Texas heat wave" we typically experience with triple-digit temperatures begins this month, we are starting with the importance and benefits of staying hydrated.
Hydration is vital for everyone, especially the elderly. In Assisted Livings, we recognize how essential it is to keep our residents hydrated, as dehydration can have serious health consequences. Dehydration can cause cognitive sluggishness and fatigue, lead to weight loss, constipation, diarrhea, and in extreme cases, death.
However, getting residents to consume enough liquids — roughly 3.7 liters a day for a man over 70 and 2.7 liters for a woman over 70, according to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics — is easier said than done. If not encouraged to drink water, the residents often will only consume water when taking their medications or at mealtimes.
Finding an Assisted Living that focuses on monitoring and encouraging hydration throughout the day is extremely important since residents like to sit outside in the sunshine to enjoy birds and nature and take walks around the facility for exercise.
Benefits of maintaining hydration
Drinking water just to check the "enough box" can seem like a chore. But, when you recognize the many reasons hydrating is beneficial, it can be motivating. Drinking sufficient water:
Increases energy
Keeps your muscles and joints lubricated
Prevents overeating
Impacts brain power
Improves the quality of your skin
Drink water first
It's important to drink water every day. A good goal is six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily. However, this goal will change depending on how active you are and other factors that may contribute to dehydration.
Eat water-rich fruits and vegetables
While water is the best way to hydrate your body, it's not the only option. There are other ways you can rehydrate. In addition to drinking water and other hydrating beverages, 20 percent of most people's total water intake comes from water-rich foods. These foods not only have a high-water content but are rich in vitamins and minerals.
Water-rich fruits include:
Watermelon
Strawberries
Cantaloupe
Peaches
Pineapples
Water-rich vegetables include:
Cucumbers
Leafy greens
Radishes
Celery
Zucchini
Tomatoes
Cheers to hydration!
If you only drink when you feel thirsty, you may already be dehydrated. Having people who look out for your loved ones at an Assisted Living to ensure they are staying hydrated is more than basic. The bottom line is proper hydration contributes to good health, and good health leads to a better quality of life. | eng | de95ca53-361a-476e-b561-4839909cbf57 | https://celestecare.com/the-heat-is-on-hydrate-for-good-health-2/ |

Why wouldn't the DoJ confiscate them and just check it out? It would finally answer the question. Maybe they did confiscate them, although we have no evidence that is the case.
WI courts ruled that the largest US manufacturer of voting machines, ES&S, has no right to suppress the findings of our upcoming inspection of voting machine source code. The inspection will bring much needed transparency & accountability to the software that counts our votes.
Stein, a former presidential candidate, tweeted about findings after the lawsuit was settled. Votes in Wisconsin were miscounted. One in every 170 votes was miscounted. In Michigan, there were 84,000 undercounted presidential votes. In Detroit, over 80 ballot scanners broke down.
That code could easily have been removed by now. The DOJ was key to allowing delays so that the criminals could cover their tracks. And any evidence seized by the DOJ will never be seen.

Subpoena the source code that was used in this election. Then compile that code and compare it to the code that was running when the votes were recorded and tabulated. If it's not absolutely identical, charge them with perjury and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.

[Solution]Why is it important to communicate effectively with others?
Communication is an essential part of everyday life. It has the potential to bring people closer together and foster meaningful relationships, but it can also create tension and misunderstanding if done improperly. That's why it's so important to communicate effectively with others—to ensure that your messages are accurately understood, expectations are met, and mutual understanding and respect are achieved.
Why is it important to communicate effectively with others?
Effective communication isn't just about speaking clearly or writing well; it involves listening carefully, considering all perspectives involved in any given situation, understanding the power dynamics in play between two people or groups of people, being aware of cultural differences when applicable, being able to read body language cues from other individuals to gauge their reactions and feelings on a particular topic or issue at hand. The more you practice these skills while communicating with others, the better you will become at doing so.
However, there are several key benefits associated with effective communication beyond simply avoiding misunderstandings or unnecessary disputes:
1) Improved Relationships: When we reach out to someone else using clear communication techniques such as active listening (listening without bias), nonverbal cues (facial expressions/body language), making eye contact (showing interest), reflecting back what they said (showing understanding) etc., we establish strong connections with them since they know that we truly heard them out without judgment. This leads to improved interpersonal relationships over time as trust is built between both parties through open dialogue and understanding each other's thoughts/feelings better than before.
2) Productivity Increase: Effective communication helps boost productivity levels among employees in organizations because everyone knows what their duties entail for them as well as how their actions affect the team overall due to having established clarity beforehand via conversations between different members within the group itself which helps eliminate any confusion related tasks.. For example: if a manager wants his/her staff members working on a project promptly yet efficiently then he would lay out all necessary details for them during initial planning stages preventing any delays due later down line! This maximizes efficiency across board by providing necessary information upfront thus eliminating any bottlenecks caused by lack thereof.
3) More Openness & Understanding In Society: As more people learn how important it is to communicate effectively with one another – cultivating genuine empathy towards those who may have different opinions than ours – this leads towards increased openness & understanding within society overall where instead of judging those around us based upon our own beliefs alone our entire outlook changes into one which encourages constructive debates leading up successful resolutions rather than arbitrary arguments spilling over into heated confrontations!
4) Conflict Resolution : Communication plays a crucial role in conflict resolution since both sides need clear lines of dialogue open for proper exchange ideas/perspectives on disagreements occurring between them which can help lead towards finding common ground that satisfies all parties involved – this usually takes place after plenty discussions revolving around topics such dispute helping achieve mutual agreement eventually!
Ultimately effective communication is more than just talking or exchanging information; it's about creating an environment conducive for learning ,exploring new possibilities & building lasting relationships . So don't be afraid take some extra time invest into yourself improve your ability understand perspective behind words used by another person leading up healthier outcomes overall

Standardize testing plays an important role in America's public schools. These tests provide a yardstick for teachers to evaluate the performance of schools and their students. Results of these tests can have a significant impact on school assessment, funding, a child's class placement and grade promotion.
That is a lot of pressure on a child and there is no escaping the realities of the student academic experience. If you are a parent or guardian and are concerned about what you can do to help support your child, here are some tips to help them perform at their best on test days.
Don't miss out! Get top Black headlines in Houston/Texas/America in your inbox Monday-Saturday.
Establish a daily routine
Success in school begins with a good routine at home. Does your child have a quiet space in the home for them to comfortably study properly? Do you have frequent conversations with your child about their strengths and weaknesses during testing? Are they getting enough sleep? Are they eating well in the mornings? The goal is to create an environment of calm as they prepare for the test.
Communicate with the teachers
Reach out to your child's instructor to understand their progress. Set up a meeting with them to learn what they've been working on, what areas the student is struggling in, and best practices you can use at home. The teacher can be a good source for additional preparation material and resources your child can benefit from.
Encourage your child
Words of affirmation are powerful. The thought of failing can impact the emotional and mental well-being of a child, especially if it's a student who is afraid of failing or becomes anxious before taking exams. Too much pressure can affect their test performance. Show them that no matter what the results are, they will always be supported.
Familiarize your child with the exam and environment
Students will feel more in control when they know what to expect. There are many practice tests you can find online. Parents should also discuss the testing environment (whether on paper or computer), what day the test will be administered and where, and how to maximize their break times.
Keep things in perspective
Standardized testing is important, but one test does not sum up the academic success or intellect of the child. There are other factors that determine how well your child will do in the classroom. If the testing doesn't go as planned, don't get upset; regroup, re-evaluate and be positive.

Britain's Royal Marines Won a Mock Desert Battle with US Marines

A Victory for the Royal Marines? In October, an exercise in the California desert involving marine forces from across NATO spurred some unintended drama when reports surfaced about the swift defeat of US Marines at the hands of their British counterparts.
Marines from the US, UK, Canada, the Netherlands, and the United Arab Emirates "fought" against one another in mock combat drills. During one five-day event, the Royal Marines Commandos defeated their American counterparts despite having smaller numbers.
While many have disputed those reports, they have highlighted the skills and capabilities of both forces. Here's how they stack up.
Royal Marines Commandos
The Royal Marines Commandos are a very interesting unit when it comes to classification. For centuries they served as naval infantry, sailing on Royal Navy ships and fighting on sea and land, in addition to being the troops responsible for enforcing discipline on the British navy.
After the Napoleonic Wars and the British navy's rise to dominance of the seas, the Royal Marines increasingly deployed on land as a naval infantry force. By World War I, they were fighting in the trenches alongside regular infantry units.
It was during World War II that the Royal Marines first entered the special-operations realm. After Germany swept across Europe, the British stood up commando units to take the fight to the continent and keep the Germans on edge.
Initially, the "Commandos," as the units themselves were called, were composed of British Army soldiers and volunteers from many countries that had surrendered to the Nazis.
In 1942, the Royal Marines created their own commando units and added the coveted "Commando" designation to their title. They specialized in amphibious operations against Axis forces in occupied Europe and the Pacific theater throughout the war.
The Royal Marines Commando were the only "Commando" unit of the roughly 40 that existed during the war to survive the major demobilization that came after Germany and Japan surrendered.
Similar but different
While the US and British forces are similar as marines, comparing them is like comparing apples to oranges.
Whereas the US Marine Corps is a combined warfare force that can conduct expeditionary campaigns, the Royal Marines Commandos are a much smaller, more specialized unit that has served as a quick-reaction force of sorts for the UK.
The US Marine Corps has about 200,000 troops and more than 1,000 fighter jets and helicopters and until recently operated its own tank fleet. In contrast, the Royal Marines Commandos field less than 8,000 troops total, only half of them being line infantry. The British Marines have no armor or fighter jets of their own.
The Royal Marines Commandos earned respect and accolades for their actions in several engagements during World War II, but perhaps their most important campaign was during the Falkland War, when they marched across the rugged South Atlantic islands with full combat load — each troop carrying more than 100 pounds of gear — and defeated the Argentines in a series of brutal engagements.
The Royal Marines Commandos are now entering a new phase as British special-operations forces evolve for a world in which potential near-peer warfare against Russia or China has replaced large-scale counterterrorism operations as the main concern.
As part of that modernization, the Commandos are getting new weapons and gear in addition to restructuring into smaller, more agile units.
"We've always been an elite force, but not many people outside the UK know about us. Our military is small compared to the Americans, and the Royals [Marines Commandos] are even a smaller part of that. But we're the fellas you want in a trench when the going gets tough," a former Special Boat Service operator told Insider.
The SBS was for decades the tier 1 special-missions unit of the Royal Marines, recruiting solely from the commandos. It was equivalent to the US Naval Special Warfare Development Group, which used to be called SEAL Team Six.
Nowadays, however, the SBS and the Special Air Service (SAS), its Army counterpart, recruit from the wider British military. And like the Royal Marines, the SBS has always worked closely with their American counterparts.
"We have a close working relationship with the Americans, and we have frequent exchange programs, or at least we had back in my days," the former SBS frogman said. "How that works is usually one of our lads or an American getting seconded to the opposite number for a year or two and serves as a regular member of that team. They train, work, and deploy with them as part of the unit."

Fly Fishing 101: Your Fly Shop and You
I get a lot of messages from people who want to get into fly fishing but don't know where to start. Most ask for book and fly rod recommendations, but fail to mention where they live or, more importantly, what they'd like to fish for. My response is always the same: start at the fish, then work back to the fly, leader, rod and reel.
But the checklist extends beyond tackle—it's impossible, after all, to start with the fish if you don't know the fish in your area. This is why the first step aspiring anglers should make is straight through the front door of their local fly shop.
Fly shops are typically small businesses owned by a family or group of anglers. They often function as the cultural centre and memory bank of the local fly fishing community and provide advice and equipment to visiting anglers as well.
Getting Into a Relationship In 2019, texts seem to be replacing phone calls, direct messages overtaking conversations, and e-vites making snail mail redundant. Some people feel that walking into an actual brick-and-mortar store is an unnecessary mashup of pleasantries, vulnerabilities, even a waste of fuel. For many, it's easier to anonymously scour the Internet for fishing tips and good deals while sitting half-naked in front of a computer screen.
While there is a lot of great information online, a good fly shop clerk can quickly determine someone's experience level, physical condition, destination, budget, preferences and expectations—taking a lot of the guess work and intimidation out of learning to fly fish.
Your Place or Mine? Fly shops are a great place to acquire local knowledge about fish populations, seasons, and to help new anglers get started. Many employees guide out of the shop and are more than happy to take a customer fishing (for a fee) and bring sample gear that he or she can try out before making a purchase. It's a win-win situation.
Experienced anglers tend to forget just how daunting the initial stages of fly fishing can be. Regulations, licensing, rigging, etiquette and safety can be difficult to learn and remember. A responsible shop employee can help you look past the social media hype and obscure online theories to discuss the nuts and bolts of actual fishing.
Plus, fly shops usually have a vested interest in the community and can be ground-zero for like-minded people to gather and exchange information. Many shops regularly host barbecues and fly tying nights. They also tend to participate in conservation efforts, river clean-ups and educational events, making the employees the best available resource for quick and reliable introductions to gear, fisheries and people.
"Thanks, Just Looking" When I used to work at my local shop, customers would frequently duck behind the rod racks as soon as they walked in to avoid making eye contact. In a game of chicken, I worked to close the gap, only to be slapped with "thanks, just looking" before I could even say hello.
Most fly shop employees are paid hourly and don't make any commissions from sales, so such avoidance is unnecessary. The highlight of their day might be discussing how hot fishing's been, or how well the new Sage 5-weight casts. They're not usually desperate to sell gear.
Even though fishing equipment may be slightly cheaper online or in big box stores, it's important to remember the value of the particular shop that helped influence your decision. I try to think of this as a small investment towards trust, friendships, knowledge and peace of mind. Personally, for the sake of $20 or $30, I'd rather support local businesses and people who see value in me. Bass Pro Shops isn't going away anytime soon, but it's likely the fly shop down the street operates on very narrow margins.
It's Not Me, It's You Not all fly shops are equal, however. Some staff would clearly rather be on the water than stuck behind a counter. In my experience, every shop has that one crusty guy who should probably stick to tying flies, rowing boats and balancing budgets—which is quite likely what he's been hired to do. If you've had a run-in with this sort of shop personality, chances are you've probably accidentally intercepted him on his way from the office to the front door. Have at least one more conversation with a different employee before deciding the store isn't for you. In the event that two or more employees make you feel uncomfortable, move on to the next shop. I assure you, there are plenty out there that would love to have your business and won't ridicule your inexperience.
Here are a few suggestions for establishing what will, hopefully, blossom into a long-term and mutually beneficial relationship.
Don't be afraid of looking dumb Pretending to know more than you do because you don't want to appear stupid won't prevent you from looking stupid. Set that ego aside, admit your ignorance and trust the professionals in the shop.
Ask for information, not coordinates
Shops don't give away the exact locations of their favorite fishing holes to everyone who walks in the door. If they did, those spots would cease to be very good for very long. Asking them to do so makes you seem entitled and signals that you're not willing to do the work to figure out spots on your own. Instead, request directions to access points and ask what kinds of water the fish on that particular stretch tend to favor. That kind of question will help you become a more knowledgeable angler and likely raise their opinion of you.
Buy Something
As I've explained, fly shops are fantastic resources that will provide you information and access to the fishing community. Don't exploit them. When you go into a shop and they help you out, buy something. You don't have to buy a brand new thousand-dollar set-up, a half dozen flies will suffice.
Test drive If you're looking for a new rod, set aside some time and ask to cast a few different models. Most (though not all) shops have demo rods ready to go and a place to cast them. Most employees would much rather be outside watching you test out rods than standing behind the counter. You can even ask for a casting tip or two. Do not, however, test out rods at your local fly shop and then go home and buy the one you like online to save 20 bucks.
Pet the dog Most shops worth their salt have a dog somewhere on the premises. Stoop down and give it a belly scratch. Its owner will notice.
Developing a relationship with one or two specific employees in a shop can help you continue your learning process. Once they're familiar with your experience level and ability, they can help steer your development on an upward trajectory. These people may become your guides, friends or even mentors, but mostly they're bound to make your entrance into fly fishing much more fun and personal—something Google or Amazon are unlikely to do. | eng | c0f49df9-4b66-4e53-a275-2041df4100af | https://www.themeateater.com/fish/fly/fly-fishing-101-your-fly-shop-and-you |

Monday
The devotionals this week were each penned by different Glenkirk students in recognition of our annual "Youth Sunday" emphasis. We hope that you will appreciate the students' insights and reflections!
Can you remember your first day of class? That was probably a long time ago. But often on your first day of class, you get some sort of syllabus. This document helps you know what's expected of you for the class, and when many of the major assignments are due.
When it comes to the things of God, we have a document, a sort of syllabus too. It's the Bible. And in it we can see ways that God wants us to live our lives and learn many great things.
One of the things that we see taught in the Bible is relationship with God. Over and over again, we see verses that speak of spending time with God. We see people who spent time in prayer and in God's presence. Often we can see that when a culture or person reads the Bible or Scriptures, they are wise and prosperous.
Today's featured verse, John 15:7, talks about "remaining in God." When we remain in His presence, we learn about Him. We learn who He is. And in those times that we spend with Him, we begin to see God's nature and character.
So no matter how busy you get, no matter how successful you are, life is really meant to be spent "remaining in God." Be determined to get to know Him; make it a priority to know Him more. Determine to know who He is and what He has for you. As you do, you'll find purpose, meaning and contentment in Him.
It's all about spending time with God.
Questions
Though the Bible is no "self-help book," there is no other book that is more helpful. Do you spend enough time in God's Word, enabling you to know Him more and to draw closer to Him? Is Bible study a task or responsibility instead of an amazing opportunity to spend time with your Loving Creator, the Author of Life? Some call the Bible "God's Love Letter to Humanity"; others, "The Guidebook to Life," offered by the Guide and Designer Himself. Do you see the Bible this way, cherishing time in it? How will you make more time for God's Word, not as an added "to-do" item, but as an awesome privilege?
Prayers
For "For His Children" Ministry
Pray that God would provide adoptive families for Mayte and Shirley. Both girls have special needs and have been waiting for a family for many years.
Tuesday
Read 1 Corinthians 6:20
Today's devo is the second of the five penned by different Glenkirk students for "Youth Sunday"—enjoy!
It takes a lot of work to see yourself as God sees you. It's easier to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others. You see how you don't say the right thing or do as well in school as a friend does. You see how no matter how hard you practice, you aren't as good as the other players on the volleyball team. All the comparison can make you feel discouraged.
However, there is hope. Regardless of whether you say the right thing or make the winning point for your team, to God you have value. God paid a great price for you. You have value because God was willing to give everything that He had to bring you into a relationship with Him.
Knowing that we are bought should empower us to live for God. In light of what Jesus has done for us, we should want to honor God. We should be desiring to honor God with all our decisions. You have value because God was willing to give everything that He had to get you.
So, if you have struggled with insecurities, failure and low self-esteem, be encouraged. God doesn't love you based on your ability—nothing you could ever do would make Him love you more than He already does. Because God loves you in such a deep way, this causes us to want to honor Him.
God's love makes us want to know Him, to get into His Word, and to live differently. That's what today's Bible verse is saying. Because God paid such a high price for us, we should now live our lives in ways that honor Him.
Do you ever get caught up in the "comparison game"—focusing on what you don't have and what others seem to have? The Bible warns against this, calling it "covetousness," which indicates dissatisfaction with God's provision. The enemy loves this, which is why the Bible teaches us not to judge others, gossip, etc. When we focus on others compared to ourselves, we take our eyes off of God. We are saved by God's mercy and grace; and grace, being a gift, cannot be earned. If it could be earned, it would not be a gift!
Questions
God loves you infinitely! How does that impact you? How do you live as one loved fully by the Creator of all things, the King of the universe?
Prayers
For "For His Children" Ministry
Pray for Dashil and Shirley Melanie, two children recently welcomed to FHC. Pray that they can adjust well and begin to heal from the trauma they experienced. Please also pray that their disruptive behavior won't influence the other children, and that they can begin to change through love and consistent care from others.
Wednesday
Read 2 Corinthians 12:9-10
When I was first asked to write this devo, I thought, "I have too much on my plate right now. I want to write a devo, but I don't feel like I can because of everything going on—I am balancing school, sports, social life, and church. God has given me a gift to do all these things, but it can be overwhelming."
Despite my busyness, I decided that I need to make more time for God—there should always be time for Him. I decided to try to focus on deepening my relationship with God. I made this a healthy alternative to social media. I turned to the Bible App and read the verse of the day and other Scriptures.
Since starting this, I find myself filled daily with good spiritual things instead of the intoxication of social media. One reminder came while I was traveling to Italy as part of a school trip. On this 11-hour flight, I found myself thinking about many of the upcoming hurdles that I still need to overcome as this school year comes to an end. I decided to open my Bible App and see if I could still read the Bible even though I didn't have Wi-Fi service. Sure enough, my app worked and it took me to today's featured Scripture.
I was reminded that God's power is made perfect in weakness, and all my weaknesses can be overtaken by God's power. When I have weaknesses, I just need to turn to Him. I want Christ to rest on me when I am struggling because He is always there for me.
Weaknesses and stress are only temporary. I have to be weak first and then God will make me strong. When we are dealing with difficulties or hardships, we can't do it alone because we need God. We shouldn't be ashamed of our weaknesses because we all have them and deal with them.
It's amazing that the Bible was written thousands of years ago and the Scripture still relates to us; it's fully applicable to our lives today. That just shows you how incredible our God is—He knows what we need to hear!
Questions
Do you ever find yourself "too busy" for God? Aren't you grateful that He is never "too busy" for you? Is time with God a priority—in study, prayer, Bible study or godly service? Do you take your weakness and your failures to Him? Who is better equipped to help you than God?
Prayers
For "For His Children" Ministry
Praise the Lord for His faithfulness to the children and young adults in the FHC ministry. Recently a small fitness center was created for the young adults with special needs—thanks to a generous donation of equipment. This allows them to grow stronger and be more physically active.
Thursday
Read Isaiah 43:1
"But now, thus says the LORD, who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: 'Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.'" (Isaiah 43:1)
This verse in the Old Testament spoken by Yahweh is such a profound thing for our Lord to say. There are many interpretations of this verse; but for me, whenever I read it, it gives me comfort that the God of Jacob, the God of Israel, is present to love me, to love you, and to love us.
"Fear not" is a command—a statement really—that our God will be there with us through it all. Why should we not fear? Because He is the One who created you, created me, created all of us! If the very God who sent His One and only Son to die on the cross for us tells us not to fear, then why should we fear?
"I have redeemed you," says the LORD, our God. He took all of our faults, cast aside all our pain, and bought us with a payment that could only be made from perfect love. This is our King! "[He has] called you by your name," because He wants you, i.e., He does not need us, but He wants us! The statement "You are Mine" brings me a warm feeling of love, comfort, and peace. We are His creation. You and I are not alone. This is our home.
Let us be confident and rejoice that we are His people, and He is our God. I pray that we can remember that very first moment when we fully surrendered ourselves to Jesus so that we can be excited for the journey that we are trekking through together. And if you have yet to begin this journey, know that you are trekking towards the right path. I mean, you read this right?!
May the God of love, peace, joy, and so many other things be with you as you continue this enduring path! Jesus loves you! Shalom!

Do you ever struggle with the Bible's admonition to "fear not"? What does it mean to know that God has redeemed you and declares, "You are Mine"? How will you walk in the coming days like one who is fearless, redeemed, and claimed by the loving Creator? Will you embrace God's "Shalom" (peace), making it a compelling, attractive example to others who don't know Him?

Friday
ReadPsalm 5:1-2
Sometimes within our lives we may experience hard traumatic events that we don't understand. In the midst of grief, we—as humans—often turn to things that we think can satisfy a void that we are experiencing within our hearts. However, it is important to remember that nothing can fill this void except God.
Psalm 5:1-2 reminds us that we are not alone when we are struggling through grief or traumatic events. The psalmist teaches us to lift up our pain and struggles to God and allow the Creator of the universe to take the burden from us. Going through these experiences is not easy, but it is important to remember that it is a process and a journey that God wants to walk us through. Are you feeling grief? Are you feeling pain? Are you lacking understanding about your current dilemma? Run to God.
There is a beauty in being authentic and vulnerable in our conversations with God, and God is inviting you to do exactly that. Be like the psalmist and bring your plea and cry to the Lord; allow Him to fill the void in your heart with His love and peace. Remember that this is a process that will take a little bit of time; however, God wants to walk this journey WITH YOU! Abide in the love of the Father and He will abide in you.
Lastly, remember that your identity is rooted in God. You are God's beloved, regardless of what you have done, or even what you will do. Living in this identity can remind us of how God runs after us.
Sometimes in the midst of grief or hard life experiences, we may be confused about our circumstances and even our identity. Remember that your identity is rooted in a beautiful, loving God. Our God is powerful and works for the good of those who love Him. In your confusion, allow yourself to give all control over your life to the God who loves and fights for His people. God wants to remind you that you are not alone; allow Him to co-partner with you alongside this hard journey called life.
Questions
When you are grieving, is God someone you blame or perhaps even ignore? Is your identity grounded in your performance, family relationships, politics, affluence, or something else—or in knowing that you are God's child? Do you spend sufficient time abiding in God's love? What if you did?

Dealing with the Dragon
By Dr Kislay Paday
It sounds cliché to blame the British Raj for our present domestic and international problems. Unfortunately thanks to the British legacy, we are still grappling with the problems left by them. The present Indo-china dispute can be attributed to the British Raj, though it is difficult to say if they did it unknowingly or on purpose; to keep things contentious so that people squabbled with them even after their departure.
The present Indo China border dispute is indeed the making of the British. They defeated the Sikhs in 1845 and chose to govern the Kashmir & Ladakh by their proxy Dogra king, Gulab Singh. While they demarcated their boundaries on the western and southern sides, they left the eastern border with China un-demarcated. It was to be later demarcated by their appointed commissioners. This would be the area of Aksai Chin where both former colonies of the British would be staking their claims years after they left.
After defeating the Sikhs in the last Anglo Sikh War, the British forced Sikhs to sign a non-aggression treaty. They also signed Amritsar Treaty with their proxy Dogra King Maharaja Gulab Singh in February 1846 establishing their suzerainty often referred to as paramountcy over the state of Kashmir. They left the administration to Maharaja Gulab Singh, their proxy.
The whole mountainous area lying east of Indus River was left undefined. It was indeed a controversial decision that left a boundary of around 2150 kilometers un-demarcated which is a bone of contention between India and China even today.
Later WH Johnson was entrusted with the job boundary demarcation. He proposed the boundary line in 1865 which envisaged Aksai Chin as part of Kashmir. This was a unilateral decision but China did not object to it. Later McCartney-MacDonald in 1899 was entrusted to the same job. They suggested a new demarcation with included part of Aksai Chin within China by treating Indus watershed as the border. The Indus valley includes Galwan valley as it is the tributary of Shyok which is the tributary of Indus.
The demarcation was done on the basin boundaries rather than military control over the territory. This was the last British demarcation of the Indo China border and continued till 1947 and beyond. The Chinese Government on its part didn't react to the proposal of 1899 but the British Indian Government on its own went ahead with Johnson line.
India has a reasonably strong case for Aksai Chin because there is evidence for it. If Amritsar Treaty, Johnson line, and McCartney-MacDonald's demarcation are taken into account. Indian Rulers controlled the region militarily as well. They built a fort to protect trading caravans at Xaidullah. Dogras had traditionally established firm control over Ladakh under the suzerainty of first under the Sikh Empire and later under the British.
Even China had accepted this reality. There is evidence to show that China had informally accepted the Johnson line. The "Postal Atlas of China", published by the Government of China in 1920s showed the boundary in Aksai Chin as per the Johnson line. The "Peking University Atlas", published in 1925, also showed Aksai Chin in India
Galwan valley falls under India even by applying McCartney-MacDonald line of 1899. Thus, China has no claim over the entire Galwan valley. At present, LAC cuts through Galwan valley above 6 km from its confluence with Shyok River! So based on the historical evidence India has a very strong legal case.
The fact of the matter is that no official boundary had ever been settled between China and India. The India claims a boundary in the western sector similar to the Johnson Line of 1865, whereas China considers a line similar to the McCartney–MacDonald Line of 1899 as the boundary
Now here is the interesting part. Why this kind of loose border been allowed by the two regional powers for so long? Why did not china tried to assert its position all these years and why now? Why haven't India asserted its claim all these years and why we are so bogged up by Chinese action now?
The answer is rather simple. No one cares. As Nehru ones put it, 'not a blade of grass grows there'. And that is largely true. Apart from strategic and psychological value, there is not much for anyone there to fight for. The weather and difficult terrain is the number one enemy in the region. If the stakes were high enough the Indian and Chinese teams wouldn't be patrolling the area with sticks and torches.
As they say, History repeats itself. It was not for the piece of land that China attacked India in 1962. China attacked India despite bonhomie and goodwill due to its domestic reasons. In the 1960s the Cultural Revolution wasn't yielding good results and people's unease was rising. The Chinese rulers wanted a mood swing and what better than an unnecessary war.
The conditions again are grim for china domestically as well as internationally. It has evolved as a merchant nation whose well being depends on business sentiment. It is flexing its muscle to ensure its empire consolidates. This is actually annoying other countries including the USA. Hence the South China Sea, Hong Kong, and India. But it makes a big mistake. It is alienating itself further while India gets the brownie points and international support. War and business don't go hand in hand.
Now the big question for us is how do we deal with the dragon? By sending troops to the border and engaging in a limited war, or by cutting Chinese imports to bleed China economically or by indulging in a diplomatic and legal tussle.
Let's examine the options one by one. Though India not India of 1962 and is a formidable power but so is China. Even if we can inflict damage on China we must be prepared for collateral damage. War with China would not be easy or short. And there is a real chance of limited war becoming a full-scale war to nuclear war! Besides, it will do us big harm economically and we cannot afford to speed up the economic slowdown.
Coming to the Economic offensive, we are a net importer of Chinese goods but, our share of Chinese exports is two percent. It will hurt China but not to the extent of crippling it. We will again risk the slowdown of the economy if we do it in a rush of blood without any preparations. For example, Chinese input into India's solar power is substantial; blocking the imports would mean putting a break on our quest for clean energy.
Now a viable option is a diplomatic and legal engagement which is as mentioned earlier is our forte. India can easily show to the world that the Chinese are indeed indulging in self-aggrandizement and discredit it worldwide. Today the world sentiment is against China and India is the flavor of the day. Rather than sending jets, we would do well to send our lawyers to the international court of justice. We have a very strong case and we are likely to muster more moral support that way.
Even if things don't go in our favor for some reason we don't lose any territory as the international court's order is not binding. A clear win-win situation - Without incurring any loss of men and machines we can achieve our desired goal. If China does not fight us in the international court of justice even better. We have scored an outright victory and if it comes pleading it would be red-faced. This is not to suggest that it would immediately vacate the area or surrender. But it will eventually have to give in. It is also not to suggest that we should not deploy more army or not make our economy less dependent upon China. The present border dispute is an opportunity to settle the matter once and for all amicably. An opportunity to correct the British mistake made 174 years ago!

Blind Opinion
(4th Sunday of Lent)
By Pastor John Partridge
John 9:1-41
There is a way of misinterpreting scripture that may have grown out of the primitive worship of gods and idols that existed long before God revealed himself to Abraham. For primitive people, if you prayed for rain, and it rained, then it was clear that the gods loved you. But if there was a drought, then it must be because the gods were angry with you. Despite testimony to the contrary that we find in the story of Job, that frame of mind shows up with some regularity in the Old Testament, where we find people claiming that they were wealthy because God loved them but that if you were poor, it much be because you sinned or did something wrong. If we pay attention, we will notice that there are plenty of times in scripture where bad things happen to faithful, and good, even beloved, followers of God.
This attitude toward the poor, the unfortunate, the victims of accidents, the sick, the infirm, the crippled, those with birth defects, and many others, continues into the time of the New Testament and, if we're honest, still rears its ugly head in the words we hear from some televangelists and others who are selling some variation of what is now referred to as the prosperity gospel. Jesus specifically preached against this attitude and understanding on multiple occasions, but one of the clearest of these is found in the story of his healing of the man who was born blind. (John 9:1-41)
9:1 As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"
So common was this method of interpretation, that Jesus' own disciples assumed that this man's blindness simply must have been the result of someone's sin. For the disciples asking this question, that part of the equation wasn't even in doubt. The puzzle for them wasn't if someone sinned, but who it was who had sinned. Sin and punishment was assumed to be a part of this man's infirmity and so the question that the disciples ask Jesus is "who sinned?" They likely wonder how the blind man might have sinned even before he was born, or if God was somehow punishing the sin of his parents by making him to be born blind, which certainly seems unfair. But Jesus replies that both options are wrong.Jesus explains that sin isn't the only reason that bad things happen. But it's also important to note that neither does Jesus say that God intentionally caused the man to be blind. He doesn't say that God made the man blind. But he does say that God intends to use the man's blindness for a higher purpose. In this particular instance, God has chosen to use this man's blindness to reveal a little bit of Jesus' light to the world.It's worth stopping again here to point out that some of the man's neighbors didn't even consider the possibility of blindness being cured. Even though they saw this guy every single day, they assumed that if the man in front of them wasn't blind, then it simply had to be someone else.
But he himself insisted, "I am the man."
The man insistently tells his neighbors "No, REALLY, it MEEEE!
10 "How then were your eyes opened?" they asked.
11 He replied, "The man they call Jesus made some mud and put it on my eyes. He told me to go to Siloam and wash. So, I went and washed, and then I could see."
12 "Where is this man?" they asked him.
"I don't know," he said.
And here we gain some additional insight into the minds of the blind man's neighbors, and maybe into the entire culture of that time. As soon as they determine that their neighbor is no longer blind, their first reaction isn't to throw a party, or to congratulate him, or to celebrate with him, their first response is to drag him into court. To be fair, maybe this is because whenever a leper was cured of leprosy (which could have been any one of a dozen or more different skin diseases such as psoriasis), the cured person had to be brought into the temple, inspected by a priest, and "legally" or "officially" declared to be clean. In that case, what we see here is that his neighbors bring the man into the courts of the temple so that he can be declared to be cleansed from the "sin" that had presented itself as blindness and therefore welcomed back into worshipIt is obvious that the man is no longer blind. And so, now the argument shifts from his blindness to Jesus. They don't like Jesus and they don't want to admit that Jesus could have been the agent who performed the healing of the blind man. But the only way to deny that Jesus healed the blind man, is to discredit him and insist that because Jesus is a sinner, that the blind man was somehow healed some other way. And, as we will see, this turns into an almost laughably funny circular argument.
But others asked, "How can a sinner perform such signs?" So,The blind man's parents are dragged in front of these powerful leaders and even before they are summoned, they already know that these powerful men do not like Jesus and have threatened to excommunicate anyone who claims that Jesus is the Messiah. And so, being good and faithful Jews, but also parents who love their son, they do the best that they can to stay out of whatever trouble he is in, and not get caught between Jesus and these angry and powerful leaders. They want to support their son, but they don't want to get thrown out of the temple or their local synagogue. And so, their answers don't go any farther than they must. They tell the truth but refuse to speculate beyond their own knowledge. They swear that their son was, indeed, born blind but they have no firsthand knowledge of how he was healed, or who healed him and they refuse to speculate or comment further.
Their son, on the other hand, has spent his entire life outside the temple. His blindness, much like leprosy, though not communicable, was seen as uncleanness, or more specifically un-wholeness, and thus prohibited him entering into a holy space. Not only does he want to support the man that healed him, he literally has nothing to lose because they are threatening to take away something that he has never had. And so…
24 A second time they summoned the man who had been blind. "Give glory to God by telling the truth, "TheyAnd right there we see that these church leaders believe the same misinterpretation of scripture that the disciples had. They dismiss the (formerly) blind man and dismiss the value of his opinion and the value of his eyewitness testimony, because they believe that his blindness must have been caused by either his parents' sinfulness or his own, and this continued blindness must, therefore, have been an outward sign of his sin and of God's displeasure. But… that were listening to Jesus teach were not stupid men. They had dedicated their lives to studying scripture, and a strict obedience to keeping the oral and written law and they were surprised and offended that Jesus would call them blind. But Jesus says that their blindness came because of their insistence that only their interpretation of scripture could be correct.
The truth was that bad things happen to good people. The truth is that being poor doesn't mean that God hates you, or is angry with you, or that God is punishing you for being sinful. The truth is that being rich, or living in a rich nation, doesn't mean that God loves you any more than poor people or people who live in other nations, or that your wealth is a sign of your righteousness. The truth is that good people can be rich or poor, American, Asian, European, or African. The truth is that sometimes bad things happen. But when we have faith, God can use those bad things to accomplish good.
The other truth is that what God wants isn't always obvious. And, even when we spend our lives trying to get it right, we need to have the humility to recognize that sometimes we can get it wrong. | eng | 89cf718b-e79e-4858-9c92-964171c75963 | https://pastorpartridge.com/tag/opinion/ |
Ag Census response important to future of agriculture
The USDA Census of Agriculture is a once-every-five-years survey that aims to capture U.S. farms and the people who operate them. If $1,000 or more of agricultural products are raised or sold, whether from a rural or urban plot of land, you can be counted. The Census of Agriculture captures information about a variety of topics, including land use and ownership, operator characteristics, production practices, farm income, and, important this year, farm inputs and expenditures.
Reliable data from the Census of Agriculture helps elected officials make data-based decisions when it comes to federal legislation and programs for farmers. As agriculture evolves, capturing the health and status of farms in Illinois is increasingly important. The Census of Agriculture also helps to convey the economic impact that farming has on Illinois communities small and large.
We encourage you to participate in the 2022 Census of Agriculture. Take a minute to watch these videos from Illinois farm leaders: | eng | 75457530-ce51-420a-9ea8-d473649d8195 | https://ilfb.org/get-involved/ag-census/ |
Amazing Automatic Melting Aluminum ᴍᴀɴufacturing Factory – The production process of the factory is amazing.
A soft, lightweight silver-wʜɪᴛe metal that is bendable, aluminum is ideal for sand casting. But there are particular difficulties with aluminum sand casting. In the casting process known as sand casting, a sand mold is used in place of the wax mold. The mold is typically made of two halves that, when joined, exactly reflect the negative of the shape to be cast. ᴍᴀɴufacturers start by sandwiching a die between flask-shaped mold frames to create the mold.
After placing it, they dust it with powder and bury it behind a layer of finely ground clay and clay. The smoothness and dimensional precision of the object are preserved by this mixture. The ᴄᴏᴘe and the drag are then submerged in the remaining sand-clay mixture by ᴍᴀɴufacturers. The sand is then tightly compacted, with the exception of at least one pipe-supported opening in the ᴄᴏᴘe. ᴍᴀɴufacturers access the mold by removing the ᴄᴏᴘe and the remaining die when they're ready. They carry out the remaining steps of the casting process using the mold.
The application of Aluminum sand casting
The most common casting ᴍᴇᴛʜod, sand casting, uses disposable sand molds to create intricate metal components that can be produced of almost any alloy. Sand casting normally has a poor production rate since the sand mold must be ᴅᴇsᴛʀᴏʏed in order to extract the part, known as the casting. The metal, pattern, sand mold, and furnace are all used in the sand casting process. The pattern-formed cavity of the sand mold is filled with melted metal that has been ladled and poured into the furnace cavity. The hardened casting can be removed when the sand mold separates along a parting line.
A vast variety of metal components with complex shapes are produced using sand casting. These components might range from a few ounces to several tons in weight and size. Components like gears, pulleys, crankshafts, connecting rods, and propellers are some examples of smaller sand cast elements. Huge applications include hefty machine bases and housings for large machinery. Automobile parts like engine blocks, engine ᴍᴀɴifolds, cylinder heads, and gearbox cases are frequently made using the sand casting process.

8.5-8: EXCELLENT. Had no flows and enjoyed it a lot. A masterpiece, but not to me. Great generally, maybe not enough perfectness to put it on masterpiece category.
7.5-7: GOOD. The anime was enjoyable but it had some flows. They didnt keep me from not enjoying it though and i would gladly recommend it to a friend.
6.5-5.5: AVERAGE. It was okay, and had enjoyable moments. But genuinely it was boring and not something that im into. Not that bad, just boring and forgatable.
5-4: DISAPOINTING. I didnt really like it, and wouldnt recommend it to anyone except they like the specific genre a lot. Didnt find it interesting at all but wasnt a total pain to get through either.
3.5-2: BAD. This category is for the anime i hated r didnt like at all. It was genuinely really bad and deadly boring with no interesting plot or a really bad exucatiom of the plot. Theres no character development or anything. The only thing that keeps me from not putting it in the lowest tier is that there was a concept or that the writers atleast tried.
1.5-0.5: HORRIBLE. An insult to the anime industry. Very bad, probably dropped it. Disapointing and not what i excpected. Would never recommend to anyone. The defenition of terrible.

What is Micro Coiling
Micro coiling is used for a number of different things. If you have never heard of it, then you might be wondering what we are talking about. In this article, we're going to be taking a look at what micro coiling is and when it can be useful. Keep reading down below if you would like to find out more.
What Is A Micro Coil?
A micro coil is an electromagnetic coil that is produced by winding an electrical conductor into the shape of a coil or spiral. The shape is created to perform a particular purpose along with the dimensions. Essentially then, a micro coil is the same thing as a regular coil, but it's just an extremely small version of it.
In fact, they are so small that they often need a magnifying glass or microscope to see and work with them. They are specifically used in devices that require something smaller than the regular coils that are manufacturers.
What Is Micro Coiling?
Micro coiling is the process of turning wires into even smaller coils so that they can work with the medical device that they have. This is going to feature variable outside diameters, stiffness, tolerances, and pitch spacing.
The micro coil winding process will require you to engineer the machines yourself. There are things such as soldering, joining wire terminals and so much more that needs to be considered. Some of the coil making processes are:
Winding wires in rectangular or square shape and then removing the core, leaving the coil
Self-bonded and coreless coils
What Is Micro Coiling Used For?
One of the problems that designers face when they are designing devices is that they need to be able to fit the physical size of the device constraints. This means that micro coils are needed, even smaller than they have previously been manufactured.
There are a number of things that micro coiling is beneficial for. For example, it is useful when monitoring or controlling pace-makers or deep brain stimulation components. It can also be helpful when it comes to diagnostics, as it can wirelessly communicate with miniature sensor implants whether this is physiological or flow.
It is also used for navigation and orientation sensors. This includes things such as targeted drug delivery, stent poisoning, implanted markets and so much more. As you can see, micro coiling can be used for a lot of things throughout the medical industry.
However, micro coils are not just used for medical reasons. A micro coil means that the wire is wrapped close together and touching, as well as the inner diameter. These are also used in vapes and other devices where a regular coil is simply too big.
You should now have a far better understanding as to what micro coiling is, what it is used for and how it can be helpful. Micro coils are extremely beneficial for the medical industry specifically, and that is why micro coiling is an important process. | eng | 6792143d-a710-4545-aaef-d110388724c2 | https://www.awe.sm/2021/10/14/what-is-micro-coiling/ |

How Can E-Cigarettes Be Dangerous?
How Can E-Cigarettes Be Dangerous?
An nicotine. Therefore, using an e-cigarette regularly is commonly referred to as "vaping."
Although the use of an e-cigarette will not result in the smoking of tobacco, it does contain the same harmful ingredients. The main ingredients found in an e-cigarette are nicotine and chemical compounds called "tar," a few of which can be highly dangerous when ingested. Also, many other chemicals can be released into the air when e-cigs are used. These chemicals are regarded as harmful both to the smoker and to those around them.
Inhaling vapors from an electronic cigarette can release dangerous chemical compounds into the air. Tar and other chemicals can stay in the air for up to several hours after cigarette smoking. The tar in tobacco can stay in the lungs and bloodstream for years. Electronic cigarettes do not release tar such as a normal cigarette, but do release compounds that may be harmful to the body. Therefore, vaporizing is not recommended while smoking and should be avoided all the time.
Likewise, because an e cigarette does not release smoke such as a cigarette, the particles produced are much smaller. This means that it is harder to breathe the smoke from an e cigarette. Those people who are close to a smoker may experience problems in breathing after only a few minutes of vaping. This impact is similar to the effects of secondhand smoking and could be difficult to notice until it becomes routine.
One of many newest problems that has appear regarding the Cigarettes may be the possibility of accidentally swallowing some of the aerosol produced. An e cigarette does not contain nicotine, but its byproduct, propylene glycol, can still be dangerous. When the glycol is usually ingested, the pancreas could make use of it to make insulin to eliminate glucose from the bloodstream. This can cause high or low blood circulation pressure. If the total amount ingested is a lot more than the pancreas can use, there exists a risk of hypoglycemia, a disorder where the blood sugar levels level becomes too minimal.
There are numerous rumors encircling the contents of the vapor from an e smoke. Some people state that the vapor is really as harmful as smoke, due to the fact that they usually do not contain nicotine. Propylene glycol can be used as a stabilizer in lots of products that do not contain nicotine. You should note that although the substance can be used in stabilizing certain products, it is in fact a toxic chemical substance when consumed internally. The vapor from any product or service that will not contain nicotine pose little to no danger to a user's health, but in the event that you must consume a cigarette products, make sure you do so in a well ventilated place.
Nicotine in virtually any form is harmful to your body, but it is especially dangerous if a smoker inhales significant amounts. Countless users think that aerosol e smokes are safer because they do not contain nicotine. It should be noted that if something is advertised as containing "no nicotine" but includes a large amount of the addictive substance, chances are that the user will get a bad buzz from utilizing the product. Further, if a person were to ingest any level of nicotine through the inhalation of the aerosol, it really is highly likely that he / she would get a big hit of the hazardous substance. The amount an particular receives from inhaling the aerosol depends upon several factors. For instance, some individuals will only inhale a few drops of e smoke aerosol, while others will inhale the entire bottle of e cigarette aerosol.
Whether you want to use e JUUL Pods cigarettes to help you stop smoking or to basically give yourself a "kick", it is important to understand how the actual use of the product can be dangerous. Although e Smokes contain significantly less toxins than a normal tobacco product, they're still poisons that require to be avoided at all costs. If you choose to work with a cigarette products, it really is imperative that you know and understand how the utilization of these products can be harmful. | eng | be84d6b5-7d78-4d16-874b-b8ae66cd2b9d | https://halsearach.tech.blog/2021/04/10/how-can-e-cigarettes-be-dangerous/ |

Real Time Calculator using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
In this article, we are going to discuss how to develop a Real-Time Calculator using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Usually, if we observe any real-time calculator we know that it has −
A grid of numbers (0-9 and 00).
Some basic athematic operators (+, -, /, x, %).
And some symbols for special operations such as (clear, backspace, equal)
The output of our desired program will be as shown below −
However, for this we need a UI and logical programming to handle the operations; where UI is a user interface in which the user interacts with an application or a website. In this context, by the interface, we mean the things displayed in the output. They can include a display screen, buttons, input fields, etc.
Use of HTML
In this program, we are using HTML to create content for the calculator UI; that means we are creating boxes, input fields, buttons, etc.
Use of CSS
We are using CSS for managing the content of HTML like the content color, width, height, font size, padding, margin, etc.
Use of JavaScript
In a calculator, it is established that there are different buttons and all these buttons have different functions. For example, the + button performs the addition operation, and – performs the subtraction, and it is possible to assign these operations to these buttons using JavaScript.
Developing a Real-Time Calculator
Following are the files in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript respectively to develop the real-time calculator −
calculator.html
This is the HTML file for our calculator below. Here, we are using the HTML script to create the content of the calculator UI. We are including the buttons of a calculator, input fields, etc.
In the HTML code, we are also using an onclick event; it means that whenever the user clicks on any of the buttons then the corresponding operation is performed at the backend of the calculator. | eng | e4749595-99c0-4098-a7b6-ffcbf5862122 | https://www.tutorialspoint.com/real-time-calculator-using-html-css-and-javascript |

School Swimming
Swimming is a life skill that every child has a right to learn. Schools have a duty to teach high quality swimming and water safety to all pupils, irrespective of their ability, during their primary education. The purpose of this is to ensure all pupils have the opportunity to achieve the national curriculum standard.
In the academic year 2022/23, The Hive Class (Key Stage 2 pupils) will go swimming in the Spring term. More details | eng | 4c40ba90-8c16-465f-8737-3bdc3da075ca | https://www.mattersey.notts.sch.uk/parent-information/school-swimming-1 |
While Working
Make a Plan You Can Follow
Talk with your healthcare provider about your plan to increase your physical activity. Once you know what's safe for you, make a plan.
Think about a few things to try. We have some examples below. You can try these, or you may have other ideas. Mixing it up can be helpful. Write down what you plan to do for the week. Keep your list where you can see it as a reminder. Keep in mind there are 2 types of exercise that most adults need to stay healthy:
Aerobic activities make you breathe harder and get your heart beating faster. Aim for 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity activity, such as walking or dancing. That's about 30 minutes, 5 days a week.
Muscle-strengthening activities make your muscles stronger. Examples include lifting weights, using resistance bands, and doing push-ups. Aim to do these types of activities 2 days a week.
Pick a date to start. It may be helpful to tell a close friend or family member. You can even invite them to be your exercise partner.
Get started. Take it slow, especially if you're new to being active.
Start with 10 minutes of activity at a time and work your way up to 30 minutes at a time. Getting at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity a day 5 days a week is best for your health. It's OK to take your time building up to that. Every bit adds up.
Walking, dancing, and riding a bike are usually moderate-intensity activities. If you're breathing hard but can still talk easily, you're doing a moderate-intensity activity.
Running, fast bike-riding, and jumping rope are common vigorous activities. If you can only say a few words before you have to take a breath, you're doing vigorous physical activity.
Reward yourself at the end of the week. When you reach one of your goals, treat yourself to some rest and relaxation by reading or watching your favorite TV show. Do something with friends and family that makes you happy. You deserve a reward for all your hard work.
You can also reward yourself after each exercise by taking a few minutes to enjoy the good feelings that exercise gives you. Tracking your goals and planning your rewards each week can help you stay motivated to exercise.
Set goals for next week. You may want to just repeat what you did last week, or increase or change your goals. Think about where you want to be. Plan goals about how to get there.

"Impact" as a Verb
Some writers try to solve the problem by refraining from using affect as a verb. Instead, they use the verb impact. Dictionaries do recognize the verb impact as meaning "to influence." Thus:
The policy impactedthe economy.
Many people use impact as an intransitive verb (a verb that cannot attach directly to a noun). Thus, they will write:
The policy impactedon the economy.
I would urge you to limit your use of impact as a verb to those situations where you mean "strongly influence." I would also urge you never to use impact as an intransitive verb (impact on). That use might raise the eyebrows of your readers.
Usage Note: The use of impact as a verb meaning "to have an effect" often has a big impact on readers. In our 2001 survey, 85 percent of the Usage Panel disapproved of the construction to impact on, as in the sentence These policies are impacting on our ability to achieve success; fully 80 percent disapproved of the use of impact as a transitive verb in the sentence The court ruling will impact the education of minority students. It is unclear why this usage provokes such a strong response, but it cannot be because of novelty. Impact has been used as a verb since 1601, when it meant "to fix or pack in," and its modern, figurative use dates from 1935. It may be that its frequent appearance in the jargon-riddled remarks of politicians, military officials, and financial analysts continues to make people suspicious. Nevertheless, the verbal use of impact has become so common in the working language of corporations and institutions that many speakers have begun to regard it as standard. It seems likely, then, that the verb will eventually become as unobjectionable as contact is now, since it will no longer betray any particular pretentiousness on the part of those who use it. | eng | 9062f2cf-e334-400c-8af1-e7f398f18435 | https://www.grammar.com/print.php?name=impact-as-a-verb |
What Moscow looked like at the end of the 19th century (PHOTOS)
While St. Petersburg shone as the capital, Moscow was considered an island of coziness and old times. In the 20th century, it would completely change its look and turn into a parade "shopfront" of the USSR. Take a look at the views of the city at the turn of the century, many of which have survived only in these photos.
The 1870s
The 'Ivan the Great' Bell Tower in the Moscow Kremlin. Until 1860, before the Cathedral of Christ the Savior was built, this was the tallest structure in Moscow.
Below are the then-brand-new Cathedral of Christ the Savior, where construction work was still underway, and the ancient Church of the Exaltation of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Both buildings were destroyed in the 1930s.
In 1883, after more than 40 years of construction, the Cathedral of Christ the Savior was finally consecrated and services were conducted in it. The Kremlin Embankment (in the forefront) already had busy traffic.
The Red Gate. This baroque triumphant arch was erected back under Peter the Great; the Bolsheviks tore it down to widen the road. However, the name 'Red Gate' remained in the toponymy of Moscow – it's a square and a metro station, still. On the left is the Church of Three Holy Hierarchs, which was also demolished.
And this is the Barbara Gate of the Kitay-gorod wall that encircled the entire center of Moscow. Now only its fragments remain.
Nikolay Naidenov
In 1887, on Ilyinsky Gate Square, a memorial to the heroes of Plevna was installed, commemorating the 10-year anniversary of the Battle of Plevna during the Russo-Turkish war.
Public domain
Nikolskaya Street; on the left – the Synod typography, built at the beginning of the 19th century on the site of the Moscow Print Yard. Today, it houses the Historical and Archival Institute of the Russian State University for the Humanities.
The 1890s
This luxurious neo-Gothic mansion of Zinaida Morozova was built in 1898 on Spiridonovka Street. Architect Fyodor Schechtel was the project's author. Today, it hosts the Reception House of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
Sparrow Hills – the favorite holiday destination for Moscow denizens. The Novodevichy Convent can be seen in the distance. Today, this side of the river has a whole complex of sports buildings and the Luzhniki Stadium.
One of the most beautiful buildings of Moscow – the Pashkov House. Since the middle of the 19th century, it has hosted the collection of the Rumyantsev Library, which was reformed and now is known as the Russian State Library (Lenin Library). Today, the building also belongs to the library. | eng | 8768c91a-b53d-46b8-aa6f-b3c4cb0764e3 | https://www.russiaislove.com/history/335983-moscow-late-19th-century-photos |
Discuss the implications of treatment of pain with an opioid side effects, adverse effects, nursing assessment.
Directions: Answer the following questions using critical-thinking. All answers must be typed into the document Chapter 1 1. Describe role of the rapid response team (RRT). Describe three patient changes where it would be appropriate for the nurse to notify the RRT.
Answers: 2. QSEN identified patient-centered care as a nursing competency. Describe one way in which nurses can encourage patients and their family members to become empowered. How will this make the healthcare experience safer? Answers: Chapter 2 3. Discuss the role of activity/mobility in the older adults' life. Discuss implications of poor physical functioning. Answers: 4. For each of the SPICES categories/conditions, describe one physiological age-related change that may be responsible for the condition. Answers:
Key Points • One of the most successful IHI initiatives was the creation of the Rapid Response Team (RRT), also called the Medical Emergency Team (MET). o Rapid Response Teams are one initiative to save lives and decrease the risk for patient harm before a respiratory or cardiac arrest occurs. o Members of such a team are critical care experts who are on-site and available at any time to respond to calls for assistance. o Early clinical changes in condition occur in most patients for up to 48 hours before a "Code Blue." o Therefore, observe for, document, and communicate early indicators of patient decline, including decreasing blood pressure, increasing heart rate, and changes in mental status.
Quality and Safety Education for Nurses Core Competencies
• The six core competencies for health care professionals based on research by the Institute of Medicine (IOM; and Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN; are: PATIENT-CENTERED CARE, TEAMWORK AND COLLABORATION, EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE, QUALITY IMPROVEMENT, INFORMATICS, and SAFETY. • Nurses, as advocates for the patient and family, teach them how to be empowered and have more control over their care. • The Joint Commission recently started a Speak Up™ campaign to provide information to patients and families to increase their empowerment. • The three ethical principles to consider when making clinical decisions are self-determination, beneficence, and justice. • Respect for people is one of six basic ethical principles that nurses and other health care professionals should use as a basis for clinical decision making. • Respect implies that patients are treated as autonomous individuals capable of making informed decisions about their care. • Patient autonomy is referred to as self-determination or self-management.

The CI pipeline for a blog such as zerokspot.com should be quite simple. Run Hugo and push the result onto a server via rsync. Over the years, though, the site has gained a lot of functionality that is (or at least was not possible at the time of implementing it) with a plain Hugo setup and so the pipeline became more complicated, too.
It also didn't help that the whole setup started out on GitHub, then moved to GitLab, and then back again. I also wanted to add things like preview builds along the way but eventually abandoned that plan without properly cleaning the pipeline up again. One of the problems with all of that was also that I couldn't simply test these things locally. I always had to modify the CI configuration, push it, and then see it either fail or succeed. And do that like 10 times in a row.
A couple of months ago I stumbled upon Dagger thanks to the ShipIt podcast, which might help with some of my issues. Months went by and I couldn't find the time to properly play with it. Turns out, that was a good thing as it has matured quite a bit since then!
What is Dagger?
OK, but what does that mean? It means that you write your pipeline actions in (for instance) Go and use the Dagger SDK to interact with OCI containers, building them, and running operations inside of them.
The Dagger SDK itself just builds GraphQL requests and sends them to a special container running the "Dagger Engine". This, in turn, translates those requests to instructions about building and coordinating other contains to run the operations you've requested. You can also re-use those contains, running multiple commands in them and also share data (like files and directories) with the container to get data in and out.
Pipelines as code
Thanks to the Dagger SDK the whole pipeline (or at least those parts you want to handle through it) becomes just another piece of code inside your repository.
At this point, SDKs for the following languages are provided:
Go
JavaScript/TypeScript
Python
"GraphQL"
GraphQL is under quotes simply because the Dagger Engine itself offers the GraphQL endpoints and so this isn't really an SDK but simply an API. The SDK then just talks to a container running the Dagger Engine which then just talks to yet another OCI runtime in order to handle the containers.
Implications
This has a couple of implications but most of all it means that you can just run your pipeline locally if you have an OCI runtime like Docker installed. Things like secrets and artefacts that are handled by your current CI setup still need to be injected but that's pretty much it!
As long as you don't require the execution of jobs on multiple machines and orchestration of all of this, Dagger should do just fine!
The tiniest example
Let's go and look at a small example: The CI/CD pipeline for GoGraz.org. The pipeline needs to do the following things:
Checkout the source code
Build the website inside a Hugo container
Save the output as artefact
Deploy the artefact using GitHub Pages
Out of these, Dagger will handle step 2: The building of the website.
So where do we start? As far as I can tell there's currently no clear recommendation or standard where to put your Dagger configuration so I'll just use ./ci/main.go for now.
The first thing that code needs to do is to connect to the Dagger Engine:
That's what dagger.Connect is all about. To make the execution a bit more transparent I've also passed the WithLogOutput(os.Stderr) option which will cause any operations by the engine to be logged to Stderr.
Once that connection is established, we want a Hugo container with access to the local working directory in order to build the page:
The lines above do just that and also execute the container with some flags to generate output inside the /src/public folder.
One thing to keep in mind here: Dagger will not actually execute anything inside the container unless you query it for an output/exit-code. So the container.ExitCode call is essential for things to actually happen.
Finally, we need the content of that folder on the host operating system again so that we can save it as artefact and the publish it.
A more advanced example
On zerokspot.com I have a slightly more advanced pipeline. I won't post the whole source file here so please take a look instead It does a handful of command execution in the same calendar in then also share files and folders within that container with another one to upload the result to a server.
This also uses "secrets" that are just environment variables on the outside. When Dagger sees those, though, they receive some special treatment in the logs and the output of the pipeline so that it's harder to leak them.
Finally, it also generates a list of URLs that should be called via webmentions. If that list is empty, though, we can skip this step:
Some things to try out
With Dagger now in place for these two pipelines, I want to try a handful of things eventually:
Stop using GitHub Secrets for secrets and use a central HashiCorp Vault server for that. The secrets can then be loaded directly from there and GH Secrets just need to provide me with an access token for that Vault.

things rot because bacteria consume them. We can slow this process down, through means of lowering pH, lowering water content, removing oxygen, chilling/freezing, all of which slow bacteria down, but dont stop them. We can vacuum seal foods, and that slows down the spoilage process, but it still occurs, as some bacteria do not need oxygen to survive
Things rot because on this planet there exist microscopic organisms called bacteria that live on the surface of nearly every living thing, including fruit, vegetables and living animals. When an Apple grows, for example, it's attached to the parent Apple tree and draws nutrients from the tree to grow, develop and protect itself from the damaging effects of bacteria trying to eat away at the surface skin. To a degree, the tough skin on an Apple protects it from the worst effects of the bacteria.
However, when the Apple is picked, it is already doomed to whither and rot. The supply of nutrients from the parent plant is cut off permanently and the store of nutrients in it's flesh begins to deplete. Over time, even if the Apple is put in a very cold environment to slow down the activity of bacteria, it will still rot.
The bacteria eats away at the skin producing waste products that further aid decomposition. Eventually the Apple will dissolve into a puddle on the floor except for the rock hard core containing the seeds and pith.
In a vacuum, there is still stuff. Just no air. Bacteria can survive in a vacuum (certain species) and there are still corrosive particles. The Apple will start to decay from the inside too, because its store of nutrients depletes and it cannot repair dying cells in it's structure. Eventually this process will win out and the Apple will rot from the inside without the help of bacteria. | eng | 87ec8761-0f03-4487-a977-84068189fd6a | https://answercult.com/question/why-thing-rot/ |
Why ? AI Aircraft Parking Issues - Airport Design Editor
Recommended Posts
I'm fairly new to designing AFCAD with Airport Design Editor and things have gone more or less smoothly, but I have noticed that not a single GA AI aircraft seem to park at medium sized (14 meter radius) parking spots. They all seem to hog small sized (10 meter radius) parking spot while leaving medium sized parking spots utterly empty.

AI park in the smallest spot available, that is large enough to accept them.
That is how FS works.
The only time they would park in the larger spots would be when the smaller spots are all full.
If you want them to use those larger spots you could resize them. The obvious downside to that is you would reduce the number of available spots for larger planes, though that does not seem to be a problem for you, if those spots are now always empty. | eng | 932375f4-f937-4f27-bee0-4293750277a6 | https://www.flightsim.com/forums/topic/17974-why-ai-aircraft-parking-issues-airport-design-editor/ |
Encouraging Thankfulness in Children
With Thanksgiving coming up at the end of the month, it is an especially good time to think about how we can encourage our children to be thankful.
As I think about the letters T-H-A-N-K-F-U-L, an acrostic poem helps illustrate a few useful tips.
The "T" in Thanksgiving stands for telling stories. The children enjoy a good story. In the Montessori classroom, we give the children stories to illustrate how human beings have lived and what accomplishments they have left to us. Parents can participate as well by telling stories about their own lives. What was it like when you were growing up, Mom? Dad? What about the Grandparents? Their life was different. We've come from then to now. This gives children a sense of place in the progression of their family and an appreciation of why things are the way they are now.
The "H" is for hardworking. When the children do want something, give them an opportunity to work for it. Resist the urge to shower them with too much "stuff." Let them save their own money and work toward getting something they really want. They will appreciate it more and understand the value of a dollar because it took hard work to get. Additionally, they will take ownership of what they buy and want to take better care of it.
The "A" is for appreciating. Making a list of everything and everyone they are thankful for can be an uplifting activity for children. They can be thankful for acts of love and kindness as well. Each day they can share something they are thankful for. Each member of the family can also take turns to share. Additionally, writing Thank You Letters is a great way to express appreciation. In the classroom, we talk about appreciating others, including those who have come before us and have left so many inventions for us to use from the computer to the car to the cell phone and to even furniture such as the chair.
The "N" is for neighbor. Notice your neighbors, those who are around you, and help them. Each day presents opportunities for the child to help someone by smiling at them, saying a kind word, sharing a funny story or just helping them out in some small way. In the classroom, we encourage the children to help each other by pairing younger children with older children as a role model, holding open doors, seating them in collaborative groups so they can ask each other questions, and more.
The "K" is for kindness. Expressing kindness through respect and grace and courtesy is a great way to reach out to others. In the Montessori classroom we give grace and courtesy lessons, and encourage the children to practice it daily with each other. Your child can practice saying please and thank you in a variety of situations. Parents can role model this politeness by expressing it in front of their children in daily living.
The "F" is for focusing. Focusing on others before themselves, is a great way to feel a sense of purpose, belonging and gratitude. In the Montessori classroom, we encourage children to focus on respecting another's needs and point of view. With parents, children can volunteer for organizations that support people in need, participating in walks or runs that raise money for a good cause or simply help a neighbor in need.
The "U" is for understanding. The children begin to understand it is more than just about them. It is about everyone. In the Montessori classroom, we share the story of bread, illustrating how many people are involved from farmer to shop keeper to getting our bread that we enjoy eating. The realization that everyone does their part to arrive at getting everything they need, increasing their appreciation and understanding for all those they don't even know about.
The "L" is for love. Children come to love not only their own family, but their neighbors, their community, those less fortunate and the whole world. This love for all humankind helps them to be less focused on themselves, wanting to give to others, and being grateful for what they have. They come to realize they are a part of a bigger picture of all human beings and they have a very special role to play in it.
With this acrostic poem of being "THANKFUL," the children can experience gratitude for the many opportunities and people in their lives and feel thankful not only at this time of year, but throughout all the years to come. | eng | 454dae63-cf8c-42f0-bcd9-04214157c81f | https://www.arborland.com/post/encouraging-thankfulness-in-children |
The IRS is simply the collection agency for the payments that are made on the money the government borrows from the FED. Since the government has been borrowing a lot lately, to send to Ukraine, we need more IRS collectors to make sure that enough collections are made to make the payments on those loans. After all, we wouldn't want the government to be foreclosed on again, like it was several times in the past. Gotta keep the payments flowing. | eng | 019decca-12c6-46df-a954-7e38e7a4bcaf | https://www.freedomsphoenix.com/News/343224-2023-05-02-disarm-the-irs-de-militarize-the-bureaucracy-and-dismantle-the.htm |
Notes:
The Change of State Concept Builder is an adjustable-size file that displays nicely on smart phones, on tablets such as the iPad, on Chromebooks, and on laptops and desktops. The size of the Interactive can be scaled to fit the device that it is displayed on. The compatibility with smart phones, iPads, other tablets, and Chromebooks make it a perfect tool for use in a 1:1 classroom.
Teaching Ideas and Suggestions:
This Concept Builder is intended for use in the middle to latter stages of a learning cycle on Newton's Second Law. It makes for an exceptional formative assessment of student understanding of the connection between forces and motion. Students are given a short description of an object's motion and an accompanying free-body diagram. The motion of the object changes and they are to predict what the new free-body diagram would look like if the object's motion to change in the manner described. They must pick a free-body diagram from a selection of five choices.
This Concept Builder was intended as an in-class activity. The Concept Builder includes 12 different situations, organized into two different ability levels. Teachers using the Concept Builder with their classes should preview the activity (or view the Questions in the separate file) in order to judge which levels would be most appropriate for their students. Our summary of the two levels is as follows:
Master Level (moderate difficulty): Includes six situations in all. These include six situations involving various types of changes in state. Students must identify the free-body diagram associated with the change.
Wizard Level (most difficult): Includes 12 situations. These include six situations of the Master Level plus six more situations involving various types of changes in state. Students must identify the free-body diagram associated with the change.
In order to complete a level, a student must successfully analyze each situation. If a student's analysis is incorrect, then the student will have to correctly analyze the same situation twice in order to successfully complete the level. This approach provides the student extra practice on situations for which they exhibited difficulty. Second, third, and subsequent attempts at the same situation will only differ in terms of the order of the choices. They are the same five answer choices each time but their order is shuffled.
As a student progresses through a level, a system of stars and other indicators are used to indicate progress on the level. A star is an indicator of correctly analyzing the situation. Once a star is earned, that situation is removed from the cue of situations to be analyzed. Each situation is color-coded with either a yellow or a red box. A red box indicates that the student has incorrectly analyzed the situation and will have to correctly analyze it twice before earning a star. A yellow box is an indicator that the situation must be correctly analyzed one time in order to earn a star. Once every situation at a level has been analyzed, the student earns a medal that is displayed on the Main Menu. This system of stars and medals allows a teacher to easily check-off student progress or offer credit for completing assigned levels.
The most valuable (and most overlooked) aspect of this concept-building activity is the Help Me! feature. Each situation is accompanied by a Help page that discusses in detail the specifics of the question. This Help feature transforms the activity from a question-answering activity into a concept-building activity. The student who takes the time to use the Help pages can be transformed from a guesser to a learner and from an unsure student to a confident student. The "meat and potatoes" of the Help pages are in the sections titled "How to Think About This Situation:" Students need to be encouraged by teachers to use the Help Me! button and to read this section of the page. A student that takes time to reflect upon how they are answering the question and how an expert would think about the situation can transform their naivete into expertise.

Different Types of Templates in WPF
Templates provides the visual and data repression of WPF element, by using Templates we can easily change the visual Look and feel of WPF elements and data presentation. In WPF each control has default template associated with it which give the control's default appearance. WPF provides three types of Templates to update the Look and Feel of elements
Control Template
Data Template
ItemPanel Template
WPF elements have Template, ContentTemplate and ItemTemplate Properties, while DataTemplate and ControlTemplate are the types.
Template property defines the Visual Representation of control and ContentTemplate and ItemTemplate properties define the Data part representation of control.
Template Property accepts the ControlTemplate object while ContentTemplate and ItemTemplate accept the object of DataTemplate.
Control Template
The Control Template is responsible for visual appearance and behaviours of WPF UI Controls. By changing the control template we can change the default look and feel of control.
There is a Dependency Property "Template" in each control.
We can define control template for a control.
As we can see by changing the Control Template we can customize the button appearance.
Now we can see the Content("ControlTemplate") inside the button is missing. When we change the control template for showing the content we need to use ContentPresenter, you can read about this topic in following post "WPF ContentPresenter"
See below code with "ContentPresenter"
Data Template
As control template work for aperance of conrol, DataTemplate gives the ability to change the the appearance data. it gives the flexibility to change the representation of data for Collection of data, it is mostly used with Item Controls such as List Box, Combo box, List view, Data Grid even we can use those control which has ContentTemplate as button, ContentControl
In Wpf most of the control have two way to represent the data
ContentTemplate
ItemTemplate
Data Template is type which can use with ItemTemplate and ContentTemplate
Little confused? actually Template and ContentTemplate are two properies.
Template Property denotes the apperance of a Control
While ContentTemplate denotes the apperance of content part of a control
While ItemTemplate denotes the apperance for content part of collection controls
So Template property of the control accepts the object of ControlTemplate while ContentTemplate property and ItemTemplate property accept the object of DataTemplate.
DataTemplate with ContentTemplate DataTemplate with ItemTemplate
Data Template : ContentTemplate
ContentTemplate type accept the DataTemplate to display the content of the ContentControl.

Respiratory Disorders
Respiratory Disorders
Case Study
Asthma is a complicated complication that affects the respiratory system; it is characterized by hyperresponsiveness, bronchoconstriction, and chronic inflammation. The main signs and symptoms of the condition-coughing, wheezing, and dyspnea- are brought about by mucus, edema, and bronchoconstriction (Loerbroks et al., 2016). Among the affected individuals the severity of the disease varies along a range, the typical scenario is the interplay between inflammation of the airway and the clinical symptoms (Lockey & Ledford, 2014). This paper will describe the condition in details touching on the alternative drugs available for treatment, its pathophysiology and possible complications that arise from the situation. Click here to see a custom concept of brain disorders paper.
Homeostasis is simply the maintenance of a constant internal environment in the body, tissue or the cell. The consistent environment is the only one that can support physiological function. The body's defensive mechanisms thus strive to maintain this environment without any alterations. The body's immune reaction can tend to overdo things in its bid to keep the constant environment, case in point, asthma. Asthma is a case of the body immunity trying too much to retain the context of the respiratory system as it was. The hyperresponsiveness becomes harmful to the patient (Lockey & Ledford, 2014). Homeostasis is the entry of allergens into the airway when they do get in it initiates defense mechanisms that impede the free flow of air. Click here to see a custom concept of brain disorders paper.
Ciclesonide, fluticasone, beclomethasone and budesonide are some of the inhaled corticosteroids that are available in inhaled form. Among these, beclomethasone is the least potent while fluticasone is the more potent. All the drugs fall under the category of corticosteroid drugs; Corticosteroids are potent anti-inflammatory agents. Despite their potency in reducing the inflammatory process, they come with multiple serious systemic side effects that result from systemic administration of the drugs. The alternative is inhaling the agents into the bronchial pathway significantly diminishes the systemic side effects. Inhaled corticosteroids are very effective in reducing hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammations.
Mechanism of Action
Corticosteroids are anti-inflammatory agents. The corticosteroids inhibit the rupture of the mast cells and reduce the synthesis of the inflammatory mediators. In addition to that, the production of new antibodies is stopped, and there is suppression of the immune cell (especially macrophages and lymphocytes) activity (Hossny et al., 2016). Inhibition of these actions subsequently leads to blockage of the pathophysiological symptoms such as the mucus production, edema, and the bronchoconstriction. These clinical effects do not happen immediately but take many hours after the administration of the drug through inhalation. This class of medications is particularly useful in treating the late phase of an acute asthma attack in addition to the chronic inflammation that may develop (Pino-Yanes et al., 2015).
To be more specific, these categories of drugs are the best choice for any patient who has persistent asthma. Corticosteroids inhibit the production of arachidonic acid via phospholipase An inhibition. The result is a direct anti-inflammatory effect in the patient's airways. The drugs do not achieve their effect by directly acting on the smooth muscles of the airway; they target the airway inflammation that is underlying (Hossny et al., 2016). They do this by decreasing the inflammatory cascade (T lymphocytes, eosinophils, macrophages) thereby decreasing the permeability of capillaries, reverse of mucosal edema, ad inhibiting the release of leukotrienes. After a long-term use of corticosteroids, the drugs reduce the hyperresponsiveness of the client's airway to different bronchoconstriction stimulants such as cold air, dust, allergens and exercise.
The selective β2 agonists currently available include terbutaline, formoterol, indacaterol, and salbutamol. The agents can be inhaled, taken orally, injected. Salbutamol and terbutaline are short-acting beta agonists (SABAs) while indacaterol and eformoterol are long-acting beta agonists (LABA). The β2 agonists relax the smooth muscles of the airway directly. This effect will reduce the bronchoconstriction caused by the inflammation. The drug is used to bring about quick relief in patients who have asthma attacks (Zaslau, 2014). The SABA has a rapid onset of action ranging between five and thirty minutes. Click here to see a custom paper on Learners with emotional and behavioral disorders. The β2 agonists have no anti-inflammatory effects rather they work by relaxing the smooth muscles in the bronchi thus relieving the bronchoconstriction which allows for easier passage of air into the lungs (Hossny et al., 2016).
Severe or persistent asthma is one that does not respond to the usual therapy. The asthma attacks could last as long as 24 hours or even more. Such long hours of the attack may lead to the patient becoming fatigued (Shah & Saltoun, 2012). During the attacks, the client experiences the usual symptoms of asthma and a decrease in the bronchial diameter are evident during an asthma attack. An abnormality in ventilation-perfusion develops leading to hypoxemia and respiratory alkalosis at the start and eventually developing to respiratory acidosis (Loerbroks et al., 2016).
Moreover, the patient, therefore, starts feeling tired because not enough oxygen can reach his tissues. Partial pressures of oxygen reduce during the respiratory alkalosis with low partial pressures of carbon (IV) oxide and a high pH value. As severe asthma exacerbates, the partial pressures of carbon (IV) oxide go up, and the pH value decreases leading to respiratory acidosis. Prolonged exhalation, labored breathing for long hours render the patient exhausted (Shah & Saltoun, 2012).
The patient has more work to do during breathing during an episode of severe asthma. The patient, therefore, requires more energy further increasing the oxygen demands leading to them feeling physically fatigued. Breathing through a normal airway would make the process less tiring (Shah & Saltoun, 2012). The bronchospasm, edema of the bronchial mucosa and the excessive production of mucus plug the usually clear airway. Consequently, the patient has a narrow airway that makes the process of expiration to become longer than normal (Lockey & Ledford, 2014). Also, the volume of air that could normally be exhaled by force in a second and the peak expiratory flow rate is reduced.
When the client has a severe asthma attack, inhaled air gets trapped behind the narrowed, occluded, and mucus plugged bronchial pathway thereby hyperinflating the lungs. Hyperinflation of the lungs implies an increment in the residual volume plus a decrease in the inspiratory reserve capacity and the forced vital capacity. This patient has no option but to breathe near their functional residual capacity. The physical fatigue will most likely set in since there is more work in breathing. Therefore, more energy expenditure is needed to overcome the tension that is in the lungs. More power is also necessary to overcome the tension in the accessory muscles so as to maintain ventilation and gaseous exchange (Shah & Saltoun, 2012).
Furthermore, Hypercapnia and hypoxemia in the body tissues contribute to fatigue as the condition goes on. The alveoli are no longer active in ventilation; the ventilation fails to match perfusion (Shah & Saltoun, 2012). Hypercapnia refers to elevated levels of carbon (IV) oxide in an individual's bloodstream and hypoxemia which relates to reduced levels of oxygen in a person's blood. Both are manifestations of persistent asthma that continue, and respiratory fatigue follows. Typically the human body would attempt to compensate for the excess C02 in the blood by increasing its elimination via the respiratory system. Click here to see a custom concept of brain disorders paper. This compensatory mechanism is however compromised by the fact that the patient has severe asthma. Worth noting is the fact that CO2 readily crosses the blood brain barriers; the central nervous complications that will likely follow are due to the entry of CO2 (Shah & Saltoun, 2012). Entry of CO2 into the blood brain barrier will cause complications that are linked to the fact that the pH of the brain fluids will be lowered.
An increase in CO2 concentration in the brain will lead to vasodilation of the blood vessels in the brain causing muscle twitching, blurring in vision, headache, and psychological disturbances. Also, through the normal physiologic compensatory mechanism, the body compensates for respiratory acidosis by reabsorbing more bicarbonate through the kidneys. Elevated levels of C02 cause the cerebral blood vessels to dilate subsequently causing the client to experience a headache. In some cases, the cerebrospinal fluid pressure may go up, and a rare papilledema may occur (Shah & Saltoun, 2012). Also, hypercapnia is also affected the neurological function of the client. Hypercapnia brings about an almost sedative effect on the central nervous system of the body leading to disorientation, somnolence and in urgent cases, the patient may slip into a coma or even die.
In conclusion, asthma is a complex complication that affects the respiratory system; it is characterized by hyperresponsiveness, bronchoconstriction and chronic inflammation. The main signs and symptoms of the condition-coughing, wheezing, and dyspnea- are brought about by mucus, edema, and bronchoconstriction. Among the affected individuals the severity of the disease varies along a range, the typical scenario is the interplay between inflammation of the airway and the clinical symptoms. This paper has described the mechanism of action for two classes of drugs that are used in the treatment of asthma. Click here to see a custom concept of brain disorders paper.
The beta-agonists work by reversing the bronchoconstriction. The drugs possess no anti-inflammatory properties like the corticosteroids do. Examples of the beta agonists include salbutamol and terbutaline which are short acting beta agonists that could take between 5 to 30 minutes to act. The other types include indacaterol which is a long-term beta agonist that is used as a long term drug to sustain the treatment. Inhaled corticosteroids are the other option that, they function primarily as anti-inflammatory agents. They hinder the inflammatory process by impeding the functions of immune cells such as macrophages and leukotrienes. The paper has also discussed Hypercapnia which is the elevation in CO2 levels in the patient's blood stream. It results from severe asthma which as discussed occurs when the asthma is unresponsive to conventional therapy.
The Hypercapnia can have far-reaching consequences, especially in the central nervous system. Persistence can cause a headache, disorientation, elevated CSF pressure and even the patient going into a coma and die. Fatigue also sets in for patients in severe asthma owing to the extended periods of labored breathing and reduced oxygen supply to the tissues. Asthma should be properly managed to avoid the serious complications arising | eng | fa2b5981-241f-408b-b872-d15bf6cc4851 | https://customnursingessays.com/respiratory-disorders/ |
Hi. I never have entered a contest here yet as I am new, but I would rather pay a $1.00 to not have to go through that process of entering/winning. For instance, I went to a local fair recently and there was raffle tickets for a $1.00. I didn't win one of the prize wood carvings, but paying a $1.00 for a raffle ticket online seems reasonable for something like computer hardware. | eng | 4b1e13a0-030d-468b-8992-44fcc15d86e9 | https://forum.level1techs.com/t/win-a-corsair-scimitar-moba-mmo-gaming-mouse-tek-syndicate/86791 |
Tired of using the weird and wobbly Surface type cover? A user on the r/3Dprinting subreddit is showing off a custom mounting system that attaches a wireless mechanical keyboard (the Keychron K6, to be specific) to the Surface Pro 7. Don't take this thing to a library, please.
Reddit user u/ikenbe, who designed this mounting system, used some basic YouTube tutorials to design and print the hinges for this adapter. "Some magnets are involved" in the build, says u/ikenbe, but the keyboard itself is connected to the Surface Pro tablet over Bluetooth (as opposed to the built-in Smart Connector).
The mechanical keyboard type cover is also missing a trackpad, and it's a bit thick. But crazed mechanical keyboard fans tend to carry around a lot of stuff anyway, including mice, so the design of this type cover really isn't as impractical as it looks.
While u/ikenbe hasn't uploaded the Fusion 360 files for this build to GitHub, they are responding to questions on their Reddit thread. If you're big on mechanical keyboards and own a Surface tablet, it's time to reach out and ask for some build files | eng | 92faa936-c844-4c47-8e99-1dc5e0eb6b39 | https://www.reviewgeek.com/103182/check-out-this-custom-mechanical-keyboard-type-cover-for-surface-tablets/ |
Room Parents are an integral part of each Eaton classroom. They work with teachers to communicate information to other families in a class, and help coordinate class participation in school-wide activities, such as Teacher Appreciation Week and Eaton's Annual Auction.

Helps the teacher organize for classroom events,
Solicits and collects funds and organizes class gifts for the teacher,
Solicits and collects funds and coordinates a class basket for the Annual Auction.

In general, Room Parenting requires a few hours each month, with additional hours necessary during holidays, Annual Auction planning, and end-of-the-year activities. This role does not require you to be at Eaton for most events, but an ability to forward emails in a timely manner to your class.
How do I learn more? Talk to or email Room Parent Coordinators at roomparents@eatondc.org. If you find the Room Parent role is not for you, there are many opportunities to be part of the Eaton community. | eng | bf3eada8-00d2-4d33-82ea-8a1fae81a005 | https://www.eatondc.org/room-parent-network.html |

How to connect RCA projector to Bluetooth
Checking the Compatibility of your RCA Projector
Before setting up your RCA projector, it is crucial to ensure that it is compatible with your devices. Although RCA projectors are known for their versatility, not all models support the same connectivity options. To determine if your projector is compatible, refer to the user manual or visit the manufacturer's website for detailed specifications.
One essential compatibility aspect to consider is the type of devices you plan to connect to the projector. Most RCA projectors offer multiple connectivity options, such as HDMI, VGA, USB, and Bluetooth. However, it is essential to verify if your devices support these connection types. Additionally, check if the projector's resolution is compatible with the resolution of your devices. Mismatched resolutions may result in distorted images or no output at all. By confirming compatibility before setting up your RCA projector, you can avoid any frustrations or issues during the installation process.
Gathering the Required Equipment
First, ensure that you have all the necessary equipment to successfully connect and use your RCA projector. The most essential item is, of course, the projector itself. Make sure it is in proper working condition and has all the necessary cables and connectors. Additionally, you will need a device that supports Bluetooth connectivity, such as a smartphone or a tablet. Ensure that your device is fully charged and has the necessary Bluetooth capabilities.
Next, check that you have the appropriate power supply for the RCA projector. This may be a power cord or a set of batteries, depending on the specific model. It is important to have a reliable power source to ensure uninterrupted usage of the projector. Lastly, if you plan on connecting external devices to the projector, make sure to gather the relevant cables and adapters. This could include HDMI cables, VGA cables, or audio cables, depending on the devices you wish to connect. Having all the necessary equipment beforehand will make the setup process smoother and more efficient.
Powering on the RCA Projector
To power on the RCA Projector, begin by locating the power button on the device. This button is typically located on the top or side of the projector. Once you have found it, press and hold the power button for a few seconds until you see the projector's LED indicator light up. This indicates that the projector is turning on and initializing its internal systems.
After pressing the power button, you will need to wait for a few moments for the projector to fully boot up. During this time, you may hear the projector's fan starting to spin and the device powering on. It is important to be patient and allow the projector sufficient time to complete its startup process. Once the projector has finished booting up, you can proceed to access the projector's settings menu and make any necessary adjustments for optimal performance.
Accessing the Projector's Settings Menu
To access the projector's settings menu, you will need to navigate through the device's user interface. Begin by locating the menu button on the projector's remote control or the physical menu button on the device itself. Pressing this button will bring up the main menu on the projector's display screen.
Once the main menu is visible, you can use the arrow keys on the remote control or the navigation buttons on the device to move through the menu options. Look for a submenu or category that is labeled "Settings" or "System Settings." Selecting this option will take you to a screen where you can adjust various settings and preferences of the projector. From here, you can customize aspects such as brightness, contrast, input sources, and display orientation to suit your preferences and needs.

The biggest question about AI is not as much what it will replace, since given time and proper implementation it will replace many things, hopefully allowing us to focus on ever higher levels of work. (I say hopefully since the reality is that buggy whip makers can not so easily pivot to becoming race car drivers)
Rather it's what's going into it:
An algorithm is only as good as its data set. In order to build apps and technology that are truly transformative, it's critical that we live lives endowed with actual goodness and meaning.
We're at a point where we realize how technology, unmoored from deeper meaning and higher morals, can be an incredibly corrosive force. However, when it's mined for meaning and purpose—when the goodness isn't just the tagline at the end of the pitch, but the actual core focus of the product—then there is this incredible potential for truly profound good.
At its heart, that's what #openShabbat, and Tech Tribe, are all about: If the technology of the future will inevitably be such a profound force in our lives, then it's critical that those building it do so from a place of true goodness. The pursuit of goodness, not just knowledge and definitely not just wealth, needs to be the guiding force in our lives. Founders and innovators who start their day with a routine act of goodness - giving something each day to those in need, creating a foundation of goodness each day - are essential to our futureOf interest:

"Unlock the Secrets of Sensory Seduction: The Art of Choosing the Perfect Parfum"
The Art of Perfume: Unveiling the Essence of Beauty
Perfume, the invisible accessory that has the power to captivate, seduce, and evoke emotions. It is an art form that has been cherished for centuries, transcending time and culture. The allure of perfume lies in its ability to transport us to different realms, to awaken memories, and to express our unique personalities. In this article, we will delve into the enchanting world of perfume, exploring its history, the science behind its creation, and how to choose the perfect scent that resonates with your inner beauty.
The Fragrant Journey through History
Perfume has a rich and fascinating history that dates back thousands of years. Its origins can be traced to ancient civilizations such as Egypt, Mesopotamia, and India. In these ancient cultures, perfume was not only used for personal adornment but also held deep religious and spiritual significance.
The Egyptians, known for their love of luxury and beauty, were pioneers in the art of perfumery. They believed that perfume was a gift from the gods and used it in religious ceremonies, as well as for cosmetic purposes. The famous Queen Cleopatra herself was renowned for her love of fragrance and would bathe in rose-scented water before meeting her lovers.
In ancient India, perfume was considered an essential part of daily life. The ancient Indian text, Kama Sutra, even dedicated a chapter to the art of perfumery. Perfumes were created using a variety of natural ingredients such as flowers, herbs, spices, and resins.
As time progressed, perfume-making techniques spread across the world. The Middle East became a hub for perfumery during the Islamic Golden Age, with Arab chemists perfecting the art of distillation. Perfume then made its way to Europe during the Crusades, where it gained popularity among the aristocracy.
The Science of Scent
Perfume is a complex blend of aromatic compounds, which are carefully selected and combined to create a unique fragrance. The science behind perfume lies in the art of perfumery, where perfumers, also known as "noses," meticulously craft scents that harmonize various notes.
Perfume notes are classified into three categories: top notes, heart notes, and base notes. Top notes are the initial scents that are immediately perceived upon application. They are usually light and refreshing, lasting for only a short period. Heart notes, also known as middle notes, emerge once the top notes evaporate. They form the core of the fragrance and provide its character. Base notes are the final scents that linger on the skin for hours, even days, after application. They are often rich and deep, adding complexity and longevity to the perfume.
Perfumes are created using a combination of natural and synthetic ingredients. Natural ingredients include essential oils extracted from flowers, fruits, leaves, and woods. Synthetic ingredients, on the other hand, are created in laboratories to mimic natural scents or to add unique characteristics to a fragrance.
Choosing Your Signature Scent
With countless perfumes available on the market, finding your signature scent can be a daunting task. However, by understanding your preferences and considering a few key factors, you can navigate through the vast array of options and find a fragrance that truly speaks to you.
Firstly, consider your personality and the image you wish to project. Are you drawn to floral scents that exude femininity and grace? Or do you prefer woody and spicy fragrances that convey strength and sensuality? Understanding your personal style and the emotions you want to evoke will guide you towards the right fragrance family.
Next, consider the occasion and the season. Light, citrusy scents are perfect for daytime wear and warmer months, while richer, more intense fragrances are ideal for evenings and colder seasons. Adapting your perfume to different situations will ensure that you always make a lasting impression.
Lastly, take the time to test perfumes on your skin. Perfume reacts differently with each individual's body chemistry, so what smells divine on one person may not have the same effect on another. Visit a fragrance counter or boutique and sample a variety of scents on your wrist. Allow them to develop over time, taking note of how they evolve and whether they resonate with your senses.
The Language of Fragrance
Perfume is a language that speaks volumes without uttering a word. Each fragrance has its own story to tell, evoking emotions and memories in a way that no other medium can.

Do structural adhesives really work?
On the one hand are rivets, bolts, welds. All methods which clearly their working methods, mechanical technologies which are extremely easy to understand, and have been known for a long time. No one needs any explanation on how to fasten a bolt, or how this mechanism can hold two pieces of metal tightly together. Moreover, we are used to seeing ships, buildings, and even bridges being held together by huge bolts, just as we take for granted that two pieces of metal must be joined together via welding. For all these reasons, we are naturally inclined towards usage of these "simple" mechanical fastening solutions. And this while being aware that, in many industrial sectors, in the most diverse needs, the same rivets, bolts, and welds have often been replaced by structural adhesives. These glues have become the default solution for the fastening of metals, plastics, and many other materials due to the various guaranteed advantages, such as increased lightness, instant fastening, absence of pre-drilling, clean aesthetics, and so on. These features are all true for high performance double-sided adhesive tapes as well and, therefore, not just for structural adhesives. Yet, doubt can often still arise: do structural adhesives really work? Are they actually strong enough to replace the rivets, bolts, and welds? Let's have a look.
Structural adhesives: a summary
We have already outlined what structural adhesives are, and so this section will be brief: in a nutshell, they are simply, in a way, extremely strong glues. When giving a qualitative definition, it is possible to describe a structural adhesive as a glue which creates a bond at least as strong as the materials it is used to join. But, when it comes to endurance, performance and safety, quality definitions are likely to be insufficient. In the United States, therefore, adhesives with a shear strength greater than 7 megapascals are defined as structural, whereas in Europe the requirement is even higher: structural adhesive can only be called such in the case of glue with a shear strength of higher than 10 megapascals.
A typical structural adhesive is liquid, thermosetting, but it must be noted that there are several variants. And, it has to be stressed, too, that this is not something which came on the market just recently. These are, in fact, tried-and-true products. Consider that 3M launched the first neoprene-based contact adhesive in 1942 and that, in the 1960s, it brought the first flexible structural epoxy adhesive to the market, as well as the first liquid adhesive spray. In short, structural adhesives are well-established and well-regulated: let's have a look at how well they can actually work.
Structural adhesives really work: here are the test results
To understand how and how much structural adhesives work, there is really nothing better and more useful one can do than comparing these glues with all those classic fastening solutions that they are called, in the most appropriate cases, to replace.
Here, the most important data used to express the power of a fastening solution is the already named shear overlap resistance: what solution, between flux welding, spot welding, rivets, bolts, or structural adhesive leads to higher strength? Well, the famous rivets are at the bottom of the list, with the worst marks. They, it is known, are quite cheap, and fast enough to use, but they certainly do not stand out for the design freedom and aesthetic result they offer. Then there are bolts which, like rivets, can certainly ensure a high resistance at the very point where they are installed, failing in any way to "work" on the remaining, uncovered surface. It is slightly better to carry out spot welding, but it is still a fastening method that really only works on distinct points. The fastening methods ensuring the highest resistance to overlapping shear are two: flow welding and structural adhesives, as they appear to be able to do up to 3 times better than the "weaker" rivets.
For any kind of use
The tests prove it, structural adhesives work, as much and, often, better than more classic fastening solutions. And they can be used in many different cases: to fasten metals, plastics, and composites, for stable and flexible surfaces, to withstand very high or very low temperatures, and so on.
