For better digestion of proteins that are in corn, it is recommended to use it in combination with milk, cheese and other dairy products. They enrich the dishes of corn important amino acids for the body: tryptophan, lysine, methionine.
Dishes from corn of milk ripeness are not only recommended to healthy people, but also used in dietary foods, as they improve digestion.
How to choose corn for cooking
Prepared for boiling cob should not be overripe. After all, the hardened grain will remain the same after cooking. It should be soft and be in the stage of milky-wax ripeness. The color of the corn is milky white or slightly yellow. If the grains have a bright yellow color, then they are already overripe, and therefore hard.
Grain shape also matters. The kernels of the corn of milky ripeness are dense and rounded. Fully ripened grains have dents that indicate that the corn has over-ripened and is not very suitable for cooking.
The young corn leaves are green and bright. They fit snugly to the cob. The old corn leaves are already dried and hard.
The cobs for cooking are selected with the maximum number of grains that must not be eaten away by insects or disease.
It is not recommended to buy corn without leaves. This may indicate that the maize was subject to the onslaught of pests or she overslept.
Plucked corncobs should not be stored. Firstly, the sugars that are in the grain, from long storage, begin to turn into starch. And secondly, the ripened grain dries out and becomes unsuitable for cooking, and a little underripe can rot.
How to prepare corn for cooking
Before cooking, remove the stem from the cob so that the leaves do not fall off. Because corn is cooked with them.
The ear is well washed under running cold water.

Fill with cold water so that it covers the cob.
Put on the stove and bring to a boil.
The fire is reduced and, with a low boil, boil the cobs until ready. Cooking time (from 20 minutes to 1, 5 hours) depends on the variety and degree of ripeness of the corn. Well cooked grains are soft and have a pleasant taste and smell.
At the end of the cooking salt. If you salt at first, the grains can remain very hard for a long time.
Turn off the heat and leave the cobs in the liquid for 20-30 minutes.
Get out of the water.
The boiled corn is freed from the leaves and spread on a plate. Separately served a piece of butter.
Method 2
Prepared corn is boiled together with the leaves at a low boil until cooked.
At the end of the cooking salt.

Take the cob out of the liquid and release it from the leaves.
Separate the kernels.
Spread them on a plate and pour over butter or milk sauce.
If the grains are needed for salad or vinaigrette, they are poured into a colander, washed in cold water and wait until it is completely drained.
Method 3. Corn in milk
Corn of milky ripeness is freed from the leaves and washed well under cold running water.
Grains are separated from the cobs.
Pour them with hot milk and boil until cooked (200 ml of milk are taken for 150 g of grains).
10 g butter mixed with 8 g flour.
Combine with milk and corn and, while stirring, boil. Seasoned with salt.
How else is corn being cooked
Many hostesses corn is cleared of leaves and already in this form it is boiled.
Take a wide saucepan and put leaves from cobs on the bottom.
In corn, the stalk and the top are cut, which most often are grain-free or dried. If the cobs are very long, they are cut in half.
Fold in the pan and top with the remaining leaves. This will help cobs not to surface.
Fill with water. It is better to use boiling water.
Put on the stove and at maximum heating bring to a boil.
Fire is reduced and the corn is boiled until soft.

Some leaves are placed on the bottom of the bowl, and corn is placed on them.
So much water is poured so that it covers the cobs of 3-4 cm. Cover them with leaves. Corn is not boiled in large batches in order to avoid splashing water over the edge of the bowl.
Close the multicooker and turn on the "Steaming" function.
Cook for 30-40 minutes.
Leave the cobs for 20 minutes in water, and then spread on a plate.
How to cook corn in a microwave

The History of Home Economics -- Ida Marie Snorteland
Ida Marie Snorteland presented "The History of Home Economics" to an appreciative audience of the Spearfish Area Historical Society on Feb 7, 2017. The term "Home Economics" began as a government training program to improve the living conditions at home with emphasis on Science and common sense. Home Eeconomics, now known asFamily and Consumer Sciences(FCS), is thefield of study that deals with theeconomicsand management of the home and community.
One of the first to champion the economics of running a home was Catherine Beecher, sister to Harriet Beecher Stowe. Catherine and Harriet both were leaders in mid-19th century North America in talking about domestic science.
The Morrill Act of 1862 propelled domestic science further ahead as land grant colleges sought to educate farm wives in running their households as their husbands were being educated in agricultural methods and processes. Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Illinois, Minnesota and Michigan were early leaders offering programs for women. There were women graduates of these institutions several years before the Lake Placid Conferences which gave birth to the home economics movement.
Ida Marie took the group through the changes in time and changes in discplines of Home Economics, including: | eng | ff31a612-caa7-4b41-8e8e-82a701d364eb | https://www.spearfishhistory.org/2017/03/the-history-of-home-economics-ida-marie.html |
Why do donors disconnect from your mission?
Let's face the facts. You can keep up with all the best practices and try every new trick in the book. But donors will still disconnect from your mission if you don't have a strong foundation in place.
Are you struggling to retain donors? Or do you find supporters seem excited after their first donation but engage less and less over time? These are common signs that something is causing donors to disconnect from your mission.
You can't let your audience lose sight of the big picture and what your organization is all about!
Your message doesn't stick.
So, first things first. Remember to keep the reason your organization exists in mind. You should connect back to it and the donor's role in making your vision possible with every touch.
Your nonprofit's mission statement should guide all your communications and messaging. But the nature of your work or your nonprofit's mission may have evolved over time. And donors will disconnect from your mission if these elements aren't aligned!
The design doesn't do it.
But what if it's not a problem with the message itself? What if there's something about the way your mailers, emails, and website look that is causing donors to disconnect from your mission?
This is a possibility too many fundraising professionals don't consider right away. But we find the right strategic design can have a huge impact on how donors receive your messages and how they will engage.
Some emails may benefit from a less stylized design. Donors will disconnect if all your emails have the same polished look and feel. Mix things up by sending an email that looks like it was typed moments before it was sent to the donor!
And don't forget to consider a donor's experience as they open an appeal package. What do they see first when they open the envelope? Does the reply card stand out? Or get stuck in the shuffle?
You don't vary your communications.
Everyone knows the misery of those "Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" road trips. Yet, this is the exact same approach some nonprofits apply to their outreach strategy. And then they're surprised when response rates flatline.
After all, the world is a noisy place. It's easy to get caught in the clutter if you send appeal after appeal without other communications in between. And sending too many consecutive appeals tells donors you care more about what they can give than about them as an individual.
So, make sure you include plenty of other messages that remind donors of their impact and invite them to engage in other ways. Surveys, impact reports, invitations to events or volunteer outings, awareness messages, and birthday cards are all great places to start. | eng | 2e8f936b-aacc-4d2f-9fde-8a24b769c95f | https://amplifinp.com/blog/disconnect-from-your-mission/ |

Project Story: Olympic Pins and Challenge Coins
Project Story: Olympic Pins and Challenge Coins
The collecting and exchanging of pins (lapel pins) is a long-held tradition of the Olympic Games, dating back to the 1896 Summer Games in Athens. One might say the pins are as much a spectacle as the games themselves. Athletes, spectators, journalists, and delegates all take part in the pin trading tradition. Pins are displayed on lanyards, hats, jackets, and bags, and are the topic of discussion and enjoyed throughout the various events and games. For many, it serves as the most cherished memento of their attendance and participation.

Yup, I would. The PhD life is one of intense emotions and ups and downs. It isn\'t for everyone and that\'s okay, but it is an interesting path to walk.

Day of the Caiman
Unblinking red eyes glide along the silent black surface of the tropical river like faintly glowing embers in the dusk. Hoarse barkings nearby always remind cameraman and biologist Rainer Bergomaz that he is close to one of the biggest living reptiles on earth- the black caiman. Up to seven meters long and more than one ton weight it tops bison or grizzly bear. The black caiman is probably the largest predator of the Americas and definitely the least studied. | eng | daa55c30-428d-4f2d-8d35-0b4e87cd3730 | https://www.zdf-studios.com/en/program-catalog/international/unscripted/wildlife-nature/animal-river-challenge/day-caiman |
I've figured out a way to calculate the true cost of anything you buy.
It's simple:
Take the item you want to buy and figure out what accessories you want/need to buy with it, and calculate it as a total cost.
For example, with my Garmin Nuvi 255W GPS system I knew it'd cost around $250 before tax, but I had to buy a case to carry it in, something small, sleek and easy so that I don't leave the electronic gadget in the car.
By the way, did you know that thieves (in Montreal and New York) can now scan for electronic devices in the car, even if they're turned off and hidden well?

Not tired - And a night of poor Not tired can quickly snowball into fatigue, Not tired, and anxiety the next day, which can then perpetuate a vicious cycle of more sleeples...
Should babies sleep through the night? Is my child crying too much at bed time? Discover the truth behind these four common sleep myths. Actually, the thought that babies will sleep later if put to bed later is a common myth. Babies sleep better, longer, and cry less if they are put to bed early in the evening. The first signs of tiredness—eye rubbing, yawning, slowing down—should signal a transition to the bedtime routine. This may occur as early as or pm for babies. Many parents dream of nothing more than getting their baby to sleep through the night. Most babies have the capacity to make it 8 hours or more without a feeding when they are about 4 months and at least 16 pounds. Most babies and adults wake up one or more times during the night. As adults, we usually just roll over and go back to sleep. Babies typically wake 2 to 4 times a night. They have not yet learned how to get themselves back to sleep , so they cry out for help. The key is helping your baby learn how to get herself to sleep.
Tiredness and fatigue
It is recognised that fatigue is more likely to be a factor in crashes in rural areas as they can involve long trips and extensive periods of continuous driving; however, anyone can be affected by fatigue, even when driving in the city or suburbs. Driver fatigue is particularly dangerous because one of the symptoms is decreased ability to judge your level of tiredness. Research has shown that not sleeping for more than 17 hours has an effect on driving ability the same as a Blood Alcohol Concentration BAC of 0. Not sleeping for 24 hours has the same effect as having a BAC of 0. If you don't get enough sleep you will go into sleep debt and will 'owe' yourself more sleep. The only way to repay this debt is by sleeping. Until you catch up on your sleep, before driving, you will have a greater risk of having a fatigue-related crash. Fatigue can cause a driver to drift across to the incorrect side of the road and collide head with another vehicle. It is important you are aware of the signs of fatigue. Listening to the radio, drinking coffee and opening the windows or vents for fresh air are not sufficient to prevent fatigue over long trips.
8 Obscure Words for Sleepy Times
Friends and family call you the night owl even though you desperately wish to turn into an early bird. Sleep debt is a function of sleep homeostasis, a process in which sleep pressure builds up during the daytime and depletes at night when you sleep. If that sleep debt accumulates over time and isn't repaid, acute sleep deprivation becomes chronic. Consequently, your overall well-being deteriorates as you face an increased risk of health issues like heart disease, obesity, Type 2 diabetes, and even cancer. For one thing, if sleep pressure keeps rising from wake time to bedtime, why do we not succumb to sleep during the day or in the case of napping, can sleep easily at some times and not at others? For another, if sleep pressure evaporates with sleep, why do we only wake up when the alarm clock goes off and not hopefully before that, say, at 3 a. The answer to these questions lies in your circadian rhythm the internal body clock , which helps regulate the timing and consolidation of both sleep and wakefulness. Light, especially natural, bright light, is the greatest time-giving cue for your circadian rhythm. When you wake up, your eyes receive light that kick-starts a series of interrelated processes throughout the body: the master clock in your brain releases circadian alerting signals, which promote wakefulness to counter the now rising sleep pressure. At the same time, the body steps up its production of cortisol, norepinephrine, and serotonin to help you feel more awake and alert. The internal body clocks also govern your core body temperature CBT. From 4 a. Circadian-alerting signals rise steadily throughout the day, with a temporary drop in the early to late afternoon. Your CBT also climaxes at around 6 p.

GPU Computing
GPUs enable modern ML algorithms to run at accelerated computational times because of parallel processing capabilities.
GPU Computing (general-purpose computing on graphics processing units) enables many modern machine learning algorithms that were previously impractical due to slow runtime. By taking advantage of the parallel computing capabilities of GPUs, a significant decrease in computational time can be achieved relative to traditional CPU computing. CUDA, developed and provided free of charge by NVIDIA, is the parallel computing runtime and software API for developers used to power most leading machine learning frameworks.
What you need to know
By using the CUDA platform and APIs, the parallel computation pipeline originally developed for computer graphics rendering can now be utilized by software developers for general-purpose computing on NVIDIA GPUs. With a parallel architecture and massive memory bandwidth, GPU hardware enables the completion of computationally intensive assignments orders of magnitude faster compared with conventional CPUs. For example, training of deep neural networks that would have taken years on CPU can now be completed in hours or days thanks to the advantages of GPU computation.
But why GPUs? Because GPUs have thousands of computational cores while CPUs have only up to 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 or so cores. The level of parallelization of the code is limited to the number of cores on one's machine. Additionally, many GPUs include cores specialized for the sorts of mathematical computations used in machine learning such as NVIDIA's tensor core for performing matrix multiplication-accumulation.
In order to execute code on NVIDIA GPUs, traditional serial code can be rewritten into parallelized code using CUDA C/C++, FORTAN, or other interfaces which is then compiled to take advantage of the specific compute capabilities of the GPU hardware available. The dataset is distributed across different workers (processors) and then tasks assign for each worker with the results being collected at the end of the computational pipeline. Many popular deep learning frameworks such as Tensorflow, Pytorch, MXNet, and Chainer include CUDA support and allowing the user to take advantage of GPU computation without writing a single line of CUDA code.
However, not all tasks can be accelerated by GPUs; a task has to able to be parallelized in order to be worked on a GPU. These problems are called inherently serial problems. Thankfully many of the computations important in machine learning algorithms such as artificial neural networks can be parallelized. For example, in convolutional neural networks one of the slow computational steps is the process where a sliding window has to "slide" through the image and apply the convolution kernel to each piece of the image. In this case, each step of computation is independent of its previous step. This allows us to easily parallelize the code, so that each processor can perform calculations without interrupting others. This is only one example of why GPU computing is so popular in the machine learning field where huge datasets and massive computation renders traditional CPU computation impractical.

The best way that water molecules behave in proton conducting supplies is essential for understanding—and profiting from—their properties. This implies with the ability to take a look at very speedy snapshots to catch modifications within the water movement.
Researchers from Osaka College have taken a detailed take a look at semiclathrate hydrate crystals utilizing quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS). The article, "Quasi-elastic neutron scattering research on quick dynamics of water molecules in tetra-n-butylammonium bromide semiclathrate hydrate," was revealed in Utilized Physics Letters.
Semiclathrate hydrates have water molecule frameworks that home different molecules or ions as "visitors" of their buildings. The general properties of the framework can due to this fact be managed and tailor-made to specific necessities by introducing completely different visitors.
Nevertheless, a number of the finest proton conductors are extremely acidic options and are troublesome to be dealt with. Stable electrolyte options are due to this fact wanted. Tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (TBAB) semiclathrate hydrate is understood to be a promising strong electrolyte, however the mechanism behind its efficiency has been unclear.
The researchers took a detailed take a look at the water molecule dynamics in TBAB semiclathrate hydrate utilizing QENS. This allowed motions of the water molecules to be captured over a lot shorter durations than have been achieved with different methods, offering a clearer image of what's occurring.
"The switch of protons within the semiclathrate hydrate is suspended by the water molecules," explains research lead creator Jin Shimada. "The best way the water molecules then reorient—their reorientation movement—then tells us about what may be affecting the conduction."

As well as, the vitality wanted to immediate the change is according to that wanted to interrupt a hydrogen bond, the kind of interplay that happens between the visitor ions and the water molecules.

roof may have a variety of effects on the function, appearance, and value of your house. If you need a new roof placed on your house or company, deciding between a flat roof and a pitched roof might be difficult. To learn more about your flat or pitched metal options, contact a certified roofing company today. In this article we are going to look at the advantages of the two main choices available to you when selecting a roof for your building: pitched roof and flat roof.
Advantages Of Pitched Roof
Pitched roofs provide ventilation.
The area between the pitched roof and the flat internal roof increases the building's energy efficiency by permitting ventilation, which removes hot air from the roof space in the summer and expels cold and damp air in the winter. Simply add a ventilation tower to the roof while it is being built.
Insulation for pitched roofs is simple to install.
Add insulation between the pitched roof and the flat internal roof for even more energy savings. Insulation limits heat conduction via the ceiling substantially. Roof insulation may not be viable to install in a flat-roofed property.
Pitched roofs are durable and long-lasting.
During periods of severe rain, pitched roofs are more sturdy than flat roofs and provide significantly more effective drainage. A pitched roof drains water readily and uniformly, but a flat roof might accumulate water, causing structural strain.
Rainwater from a pitched roof can be reused.
A sloped roof makes rainwater collection easier. The water quickly drains into the external drainage system (guttering), which is easier to maintain and adjust than a flat roof drainage system. Modern roof tiles have little influence on the quality of water.
Pitched roofs require less upkeep.
Pitched roofs are easier to maintain than flat roofs, which require continual upkeep to keep water from accumulating on them. High-quality roof tiles may survive for 100 years or more, and roof tile and gutter repairs are inexpensive and simple.
A sloped roof gives an inexpensive extra room.
A pitched roof adds space to the house that may be utilized for attic storage or even more living space without incurring the expenditures of constructing an altogether new story.
Solar panels on pitched roofs are simple to install.
Rooftop solar panels must be installed at an angle in order to function properly. Installing solar panels on pitched roofs, which are already inclined, is a straightforward task, whereas on flat rooftops can be trickier and require additional brackets or equipment.
Pitched roofs offer a lot of visual charm.
Pitch roofs, as opposed to flat roofs, are visible from the ground, providing architects and homeowners with an extra means of expressing themselves. Pitched roofs are available in a range of sizes and forms and may be covered with any type of tile.
Pitched roofs provide more thermal mass.
Homes with pitched roofs are often more compact than those with flat roofs, limiting the area of the exposed surface to the elements. A thinner building envelope equals more thermal mass, which helps maintain the house at a more pleasant temperature all year.
Advantages Of Flat Roof
Contemporary design.
Clean, straight, minimalist lines are the current building style, whether residential or commercial. If that's the look you're looking for, a flat roof is the best way to get it as it is very popular for contemporary designs.
Lower initial investment.
A pitched roof is more costly to install than a flat roof. This is due to the fact that it uses less resources and is structurally simpler. This also implies that flat roofs can be constructed more quickly, which is one of the reasons why they are appealing to many business owners. A more cohesive environment. There is some debate about whether a pitched roof or a flat roof gives a structure greater room. In any case, a flat roof provides a more coherent, usable area for a whole structure. Unlike a pitched roof, which may contain a triangular attic, a flat-roofed building's whole top level has the same size and form as the lower floors. Again, this makes a flat roof an excellent choice for commercial usage since it allows for additional offices and storage space.
Easier leak and damage inspection
Imagine being able to inspect your roofs by stepping on them without fear of injury. This is one of the primary reasons why homeowners choose flat roofs. Although it is recommended that you hire a professional roofer to perform any inspections, if you must climb up on your roof, you will be far safer than on a sloping roof.
Ease of cleaning and additions
With flat roofs, you may be creative in your extensions. Some flat-roof residences include "living roofs" (such as an outdoor eating or entertainment space) or rooftop gardens that are not only eco-friendly but also lend a gorgeous aspect to the roof. Cleaning the gutters on flat roofs is likewise a very stress-free task. There is less surface area, but there is usually a little slope, so rainwater drains to the gutter.
Flat roofs are long-lasting
Another little-known characteristic of flat roofs is their long-lasting nature. With good care and design, they may survive over 30 years in great condition. Compared to other roof types, a well-constructed low-slope roof may endure a long period, making it less expensive. Flat roofs are also often safer to utilize in high wind zones due to their superior wind resistance.

1. Internal consistency 2. Market competitiveness 3. Recognition of individual contributions.
Internal Consistency – Internal consistent compensation systems clearly define the relative value of each job among all jobs within a company. This ordered set of jobs represents the job structure or hierarchy. Companies rely on a simple, yet fundamental, principle for building internally consistent compensation systems: Employees in jobs that require greater qualifications, more responsibilities, and more complex job duties should be paid more than employees whose jobs requires lesser qualifications, fewer responsibilities, and less –complex job duties. Internally consistent job structures formally recognize differences in job characteristics, which therefore enable compensation managers to set pay accordingly.
Market Competitiveness – Market-competitive pay systems play a significant role in attracting and retaining the most qualified employees. Compensation professionals build market competitive compensation systems based on the results of market surveys and compensation surveys.
A Strategic analysis entails an examination of a company's external market context and internal factors. Examples of external market context are the industry profile, information about competitors, and long-term growth prospects. Internal factors encompass the company's financial condition and functional capabilities - for example, marketing and human resources Strategic analysis permit business professionals to see where they stand in the market based external and internal factors.

Discuss and explain the considerations when building market-competitive compensation systems.
A company that strives to be competitive in whatever market they belong to will always look for strategic and competitive advantages. Building a market-competitive compensation system is the first step needed to attract, retain, and promote high performing individuals who will help a company reach and maintain that edge over competitors, so it is imperative to get it right the first time: offer compensation that is far above the median wage and the company must lower its bottom line, leaving it less money to reinvest, pay stockholders, etc. Offer too low a compensation package and the company will not be able to attract the high performers it is looking for to drive the competitive advantages furtherBefore formulating a strategy, an organization has to gauge its current position in the market using strategic analysis. This involves the use of internal and external analysis tools to gain both an inside view of an organization and the macro environment
Components of Strategic Management
Strategic management involves environmental scanning. Externally one must know the organization's opportunities and threats as well as societal environment and task environment including analysis of the industry. Internally one must know the organization's strengths and weaknesses, the organizational structure including chain of command and organizational culture including the mission statement, beliefs, expectations, and values. Other than knowing the internal and external environment of the company, knowledge of the company's assets, skills, competencies, capital, and human resources are essential considerations when designing a strategic plan. These components are used throughout the four phases of strategic management are basic financial planning, forecast-based planning, externally oriented (strategic) planning, and strategic management.…
The External Analysis examines opportunities and threats that exist in the environment. The goal of this analysis is to identify external opportunities, threats, trends, and strategic uncertainties.

How do wheel spacers affect my car's performance?
A wheel spacers are a type of suspension component that is used to adjust the distance between the wheels on a vehicle. This can affect performance, especially when it comes to handling. The more spacers for wheels you have in your car, the more likely it is that your vehicle will have problems handling. If you're not careful, one or more of your wheels could become loose or break off. If this happens, you'll be stuck with a damaged wheel that has to be replaced. In addition, if you're driving fast and heavy, the weight of the car could cause your wheels to rotate out of alignment and make things worse. In short, if you're not careful with your wheels, they could cause damage to your car's performance.
Do wheel spacers offer better handling This is because they have a more pronounced wheelbase and an increased wheelbase width. This means that they provide a better steering feel than a wheel spacer alone. Another benefit of wheel spacers is that they offer improved handling by reducing the amount of torque applied to the vehicle's wheels. This means that you can steer your car more easily and smoothly. Finally, wheel spacers offer a better look because they are often made from materials such as aluminum or steel. These materials offer better durability and longer service life than standard wheel spacer materials. Must visit to buy all automobile accessories of high quality at affordable rates.
Wheel spacers are also used for safety purposes: One way to do this is by having spacers installed in your vehicle that connect to a separate airbag that protects your eyes from debris and road debris when you're driving. How do wheel spacers affect my car's performance?
Another way is to install a head-up display (HUD) that displays information about hazards such as speed limits, road conditions, and other relevant information about your surroundings. Another consideration when installing spacers is that they should be installed at an angle so that they don't interfere with other road users or obstruct your view in any way | eng | ad918f62-a122-43ed-9bff-a40d67b92ff3 | https://theforbestimes.com/how-do-wheel-spacers-affect-my-cars-performance/ |
#ReThinkSchool Day 1
#ReThinkSchool Day 1
Yesterday, the U.S. Department of Education kicked off their first back-to-school tour called #ReThinkSchools! The purpose of this tour is too many kids are trapped in schools that don't meet their needs and how a family's income or ZIP code shouldn't dictate the quality of education a child is to receive!
The first stop on the #ReThinkSchool Tour was Woods Learning Center, a public elementary through middle school in Casper, WY. They believe school should be a personalized and meaningful experience for all of our students, where they become motivated and empowered to pursue their own goals and dreams. The school is led by a collaborative team of teachers and staff rather than a principal. They are teacher-powered, and student-centered.
It's time to re-think what education means to each individual student and to re-think what it means to engage students in a life-long learning journey and prepare for successful careers and lives | eng | a5fb57cb-ff59-4edd-a15a-d01a72b67b74 | https://www.poweredbyeducation.org/rethinkschool-tour/ |

Riley Christoffer
HRMC Surgical Tech
When Riley Christoffer was approached with an opportunity to apply for a paid apprenticeship in surgical technology at Huron Regional Medical Center (HRMC), she jumped at the prospect. Christoffer, who completed her training in May at Southeast Technical College, is now working on completing her technical training as a certified surgical technologist at HRMC. Christoffer speaks highly of the opportunity to gain first-hand educational experience while getting paid. "It's hard to work to earn money while completing a required internship 40 hours per week" said Christoffer, "and this apprenticeship helped me to do both."
Huron Regional Medical Center was one of the first health care organizations in the state to offer paid apprenticeships through the StartTodaySD Registered Apprenticeship Program. Brooke Sydow, EdD, HRMC program manager, was instrumental in initiating registered apprenticeships at HRMC and has continued to secure grant funds while developing initiatives to expand apprenticeships for health care at HRMC.
In 2018, HRMC began offering apprenticeships for juniors and seniors in high school with interest in becoming certified nurse assistants (CNA). In addition to the Youth CNA and surgical technology apprenticeships, HRMC also offers apprenticeships in surgical technology, licensed practical nursing (LPN) and respiratory therapy, and is set to launch a health care based information technology (IT) apprenticeship in January 2023.
The IT apprenticeship will focus on the business side of health care and holds significance to HRMC president and CEO, Erick Larson. "Enrolling in an apprenticeship program in college launched my career in health care. This is a great opportunity to expose individuals to many aspects of IT in healthcare, including analytics, hardware, network systems and the electronic health record," said Larson.
For Sydow, it's important to offer a variety of opportunities for those who might not normally be able to leave the community to gain further education, "A major goal of the registered apprenticeship programs is for our workforce at HRMC to reflect our community population, " she said. Registered apprenticeships at HRMC offer a pathway for individuals interested in health care to explore careers while earning a living and help to secure a future workforce for the demands of rural health care.
More information about HRMC's apprenticeship programs is available at or by calling Teresa Haatvedt, career development specialist at 605-353-6589 or Brooke Sydow, program manager at 605-461-8364. | eng | 224ea296-b0a7-4b2e-8d25-3f84cc290b53 | https://www.huronregional.org/about-us/blogs/earned-experiences-while-training-for-tomorrow |
Baastrup Syndrome Overview
When Baastrup syndrome is a chronic back pain the lower lumbar spine, which often is associated with hard work and can also occur in older age. This results in complaints such as severe pain in the lower back, restricted mobility and poor posture, which can severely limit the quality of life of those affected. The treatment of Baastrup syndrome is initially conservative with medication, exercise and heat therapy. Surgical intervention can only be considered after all conservative methods have been exhausted.
What is Baastrup Syndrome?
The Baastrup syndrome is one of the chronic pain syndromes of the lumbar spine (lumbar spine), the cause of which is usually the contacting spinous processes (spinous processes). The unphysiological contact of the bone processes causes moderate to severe pain, which can occur depending on movement and is only slightly improved by rest.
An association with degenerative diseases of the spine, such as a decrease in the height of the vertebrae with age, can often be established. In addition, people who have to lift heavily at work are more often affected, as there is also greater stress on the spine.
Causes
There are various causes that can lead to the development of Baastrup syndrome. The most common cause is oversized spinous processes. These are unpaired bony protrusions that arise from the vertebral arch of a vertebra and point towards the back. Each vertebral arch therefore has only one spinous process.
Taken as a whole, all spinous processes are an important holding element of the deep back muscles as well as of fascia, ligaments and tendons. They contribute to the stability of the entire spine and to an upright gait. A Hyperlordosis the lumbar spine, the emergence of a Baastrup syndrome favor.
Hyperlordosis is an excessively convex forward curvature of the spine, which leads to an approximation of the neighboring spinous processes and, in the long term, can result in poor posture of the whole body.
In old age, degenerative changes in the intervertebral discs are responsible for a reduction in the height of the vertebrae in relation to one another. This is also connected with the development of Baastrup syndrome. In most cases, hard workers and the elderly are affected by the disease.
Symptoms, ailments & signs
The symptoms of Baastrup syndrome are relatively unspecific, especially at the beginning, and can only be distinguished from other lumbar spine problems with difficulty. Those affected frequently complain of increasingly severe pain in the lower lumbar spine area, which is only slightly improved by rest. An aggravation of pain occurs especially when a hollow back is formed and when stretching.
This can mean that everyday movements can be severely restricted. For this reason, those affected often take a gentle posture, which can worsen the symptoms in the long term. The physical examination reveals tenderness and tenderness in the lower lumbar spine. In addition, the pain can be aggravated by shaking the hip.
Diagnosis & course
The first indications of the existence of Baastrup syndrome can already be obtained after a consultation with a doctor and a detailed physical examination. Many patients express pain in certain situations such as when cycling (jolting pain) or when stretching in the morning. Imaging usually confirms the diagnosis.
Either an X-ray or a CT is made, as these imaging processes enable the best possible representation of the bony structures of the spine. The mutual contact of the superposed spinous processes ("kissing spines") can be made directly visible, especially in the CT. Often there are bony attachments (osteophytes) on the adjacent bones of the vertebral arches.
The deep back muscles can show calcifications in the affected regions.
Occasionally, local anesthesia is performed for diagnostic purposes. An anesthetic is injected into the affected area with a syringe. An improvement in pain speaks strongly in favor of Baastrup syndrome.
Complications
Baastrup syndrome can have many serious complications. In most cases, patients complain of severe back pain. As a result, the patient's movement is only possible to a limited extent. Those affected are often dependent on walking aids in order not to lose their mobility completely. The quality of life is severely restricted by the Baastrup syndrome.
In many cases, patients take a relieving posture when the pain occurs. Although this relieves the symptoms and pain for a short time, it is very unhealthy in the long term and usually leads to the worsening of Baastrup's syndrome. However, the pain caused by Baastrup syndrome does not have to be permanent.
For some people, they only occur in certain situations or when doing heavy physical work. The hip is also affected by this pain. In severe cases, surgery is possible. However, operations on the spine are very risky and often lead to complications and consequential damage.
Furthermore, therapeutic treatments are possible, but they cannot completely combat the cause of the pain. However, you can limit the pain so that you can go about your everyday life. Further complications and worsening can occur if the patient does heavy physical work despite the Baastrup syndrome.
When should you go to the doctor?
Since the Baastrup syndrome is associated with relatively severe restrictions in everyday life and in the life of the person affected, a doctor should definitely be consulted if the patient experiences pain in the back and restricted mobility. Especially in the case of poor posture or relieving posture, a doctor should definitely be consulted who will correct this posture in order to avoid further damage to the body.
Above all in the area of the spine there are permanent complaints that can also lead to a hollow back. As a rule, severe pain with light exertion or when pressure is applied to the back is a sign of Baastrup syndrome, which must definitely be investigated. Treatment by a doctor is also necessary in the event of discomfort or pain in the hip.
In most cases, a family doctor can be consulted. Baastrup syndrome can be diagnosed relatively easily. The actual treatment then takes place in the form of massages or physiotherapy, which can significantly alleviate and reduce the symptoms.
Treatment & Therapy
The treatment of Baastrup syndrome is mainly conservative. It is important to strengthen the deep back muscles in the lumbar spine area through physiotherapy. The aim is to widen the distance between the individual spinous processes, which leads to relief from pain.
The same goal is pursued by treatment with trunk orthoses, which also contribute to better posture. Heat and pain therapy are used as a support in order to avoid relieving postures and to be able to implement physiotherapy successfully. Drug pain therapy also contributes to an increased quality of life and can maintain the ability to work, which is a prognostically favorable factor.
Only in rare cases is conservative therapy insufficient for treatment. Then surgical treatment methods can be considered. A spinous process is removed under general anesthesia in order to remove the contact with one another and thus the cause of the pain. It should be noted that operations on the spine are always associated with a particular risk.
Outlook & forecast
The Baastrup syndrome has a good prognosis and a good prospect of recovery provided the patient is actively involved. In some cases, the sufferer can achieve relief and cure for the condition without seeking medical treatment and care.
Building up the muscles in the back is necessary for the healing process. This can be done independently with a very good chance of success. People who feel insecure about good and healthy muscle building can get the help and support they need from a doctor. In a targeted treatment plan, he refers the patient to a physiotherapist and, in parallel, checks the results achieved.
The cooperation of all parties usually leads to relief of the symptoms after a few months and then to freedom from pain for the patient. The exercises learned should also be carried out outside of therapy. This supports the healing process to a considerable extent. In addition, the patient can pursue various sporting activities that optimally promote the development of his muscles.
Movement sequences should also be controlled and optimized. It is also necessary to achieve restructuring, especially when the body is exposed to everyday occupational stress.
The vision of healing diminishes as soon as the patient suffers from other diseases of the skeletal system. If there are already movement restrictions, this makes it more difficult to build up muscles.
Prevention
A lot can be done to prevent Baastrup syndrome from developing. The most important thing is the consistent strengthening of the back muscles through endurance sports such as running or swimming. Through strength training, the deep back muscles, which are supposed to serve as spacers between the individual vertebrae, can be trained in a targeted manner.
It is also important to make the workplace back-friendly. A change from sitting, standing and walking activities makes sense here. Activities in the office should be carried out alternately at the desk and the standing desk. Lifting that is too heavy should be avoided.
When lifting moderately difficult, it is important not to bend at your hips but to get up from your knees and keep your back straight at all times. Targeted physiotherapy and back training can be useful for people with an existing back problem.
Aftercare
After healing, the typical symptoms can recur. The patient is obliged to take preventive measures. These aim to strengthen the back muscles. Regular visits to a fitness studio are advisable. If there is sufficient reason, a doctor may order physical therapy.
There the patient learns exercises that he can use in his spare time. There are also opportunities for optimization in the workplace. Lifting heavy loads should always be done in the correct posture. Anyone who sits at a desk for a long time should value an ergonomic office chair.
The most important indicators of Baastrup syndrome are back pain and restricted mobility. Imaging procedures such as an X-ray and computed tomography provide information about the structure of the back. A doctor orders these examinations in the event of acute complaints or documents the progress of the disease.
Baastrup syndrome can be present for a long time. This applies when conservative treatment methods are initially given preference, even in the case of severe illness. Given the abundance of options, it is important to find the right mix of therapies. Pain cannot always be ruled out. At his request, the patient can receive medication in order to experience a tolerable everyday life.
You can do that yourself
The most important contribution to self-help that those affected can make is to strengthen the lower back muscles in the lumbar spine area. In this way, a widening of the distance between the spinous processes (bone processes on the vertebrae) can be achieved, which leads to a reduction in pain.
At a very early stage and for prevention, it is usually sufficient for those affected to do endurance sports on a regular basis. Sports such as running, walking or swimming are particularly suitable. In addition, the muscles can be strengthened through targeted strength training. In every good fitness studio there is special equipment and professionally trained staff who put together a suitable training plan for those affected.
In more severe cases, especially if the movement has already been restricted, physiotherapeutic therapy should definitely be started. This not only aims to strengthen the relevant muscle groups, but also to correct malpositions, which counteracts further degeneration.
It is important for heavy workers to maintain correct posture while doing their work. So should never be bent from the hips, but rather lifted from the knees. If the employer does not offer appropriate training, those affected can receive training from a physiotherapist or request information from their health insurance company. Anyone who works sitting down and is affected by Baastrup syndrome should ensure an ergonomically oriented workplace and, if possible, alternate between sitting and standing. | eng | b2969339-7aa4-4f7e-8fd0-49dd6b2a54df | https://www.homethodology.com/baastrup-syndrome-overview/ |
Social Networks Leaking Users Data To Tracking Sites
Greetings! I'm Mark Micheau, manager of research and translation services at Today, I would like to share an extremely important article with you; one that zooms in on something that social networks are or may be doing. Something that may be infringing on your personal data and information. I invite you now to read on. Have a great day and a happy Thanksgiving to our American friends and customers.
Many popular social networking sites typically make personal information available to companies that track users' browsing habits and allow them to link anonymous browsing habits to specific people, according to a new study by the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI).
"When you sign up with a social networking site, you are assigned a unique identifier," says Craig Wills, professor of computer science at WPI.
"This is a string of numbers or characters that points to your profile. We found that when social networking sites pass information to tracking sites about your activities, they often include this unique identifier. So now a tracking site not only has a profile of your Web browsing activities, it can link that profile to the personal information you post on the social networking site. Now your browsing profile is not just of somebody, it is of you."
»» Do you worry about your data from Facebook or Twitter getting leaked to tracking sites? Let us know in the comments. Social networks use third-party tracking sites to learn about the browsing habits of their users. Cookies are managed by a browser and contain information that allows tracking sites to build profiles of the websites visited by a user. Each time a user visits a new website, the tracking site can review those cookies to offer ads that might be relevant to the user.
Wills says social networks go to far by allowing the transmission of unique identifiers. "Users put a lot of information about themselves on social networking sites," said Wills.
"A lot of that information can be seen by other users, by default. There are mechanisms users can use to limit access to their information, but we found through previous research that most users don't take advantage of them."
With a unique identifier tracking sites could gain access to a users personal information. Wills says this could lead to having one's identity linked to inaccurate browsing profiles, depending on how many people use the same computer.
"Tracking sites don't have the ability to know if, for example, a site about cancer was visited out of curiosity, or because the user actually has cancer," said Wills. "Profiling is worrisome on its own, but inaccurate profiling could potentially lead to issues with employment, health care coverage, or other areas of our personal lives."
"Once someone is in possession of your unique identifier, there is so much they can learn about you. And even if tracking sites do not use the information themselves, can they guarantee that it will never find its way into other hands? For these reasons, we feel this issue is something that we should to be concerned about." | eng | 7d9d3517-37a5-4348-bb32-15b3a443aaaa | https://sterlingcreations.ca/uncategorized/social-networks-leaking-users-data-to-tracking-sites |

Why Uber Eats Is A Necessary Evil
Uber Eats. The delivery service we love to hate. There are others of course, but for the sake of this post I?ll focus on Uber Eats since I know it best.
As a consumer, I love Uber Eats. They bring me food when I?m short on time and introduce me to new spots I never knew existed. They make me more productive, allowing me to keep working while my salad magically makes its way to my desk. They bring me joy, when after a long day, my favourite pizza is waiting for me at home. Plus, they prevent me from getting hangry! Thanks to the convenience, I spend more at restaurants ? ordering more food (leftovers!), more often.
As for restaurants, many hate Uber Eats. Why? Because rather than charging consumers the full cost for on-demand food delivery, they shifted a large cut onto restaurants. This only adds to our skewed perception of food costs, now also distorting the reality of what food delivery costs. Devious little devils.
Why would they do this? Cause they know how stingy we can be. They knew we?d complain if they charged us more upfront, so they cleverly lured us in by obscuring a large part of the cost ? getting restaurants to foot the bill instead. And they get away with it because their massive audience gives them leverage. Cunning evil geniuses.
But hold up. Let?s be fair. Uber Eats does bring something to the table. Like, literally thousands of new customers to the table (and it?s their own tables at home vs tables restaurants pay overhead for). They provide access to a whole new audience and give restaurants the power to deliver directly to customers ? with no investment, infrastructure or logistical nightmares. So, that?s something.
Now, I?m going to share some info to help us analyze this third party delivery business a little better. These are just facts ok, so don?t shoot the messenger.
Let?s start from the top with a quick break down of Uber Eats fees. Customers pay a service fee of 15% of the subtotal, a delivery fee (based on location, driver availability, etc.), and a $2 small order fee (if under $10). Restaurants, for their part, pay a 30% commission on orders. Seems like a lot. Is it though?
Let?s flip things around for a minute. Let?s put ourselves in Uber Eats? shoes. Ever wonder what their business looks like? Why don?t we take a quick peek at their costs just for kicks.
The most obvious one is drivers. What do Uber Eats drivers get paid? Do you think it?s the delivery fee? But that?s like nothing? often $.99 to $3.99, or $0 during promos. Wait a minute?. So ya, that?s not really how it works. In fact, there?s no relation whatsoever. Here?s how it actually works:
?It?s important to note that the delivery fee paid by the customer is less than what Uber Eats pays drivers. Drivers earn based on actual time and distance required for the delivery. Also, they make additional money with incentives and referrals, which is important to attract more drivers. Thus, the overall payment to drivers is higher than what the customer pays.? -BStrategyHub
How about labour cost? I looked it up. Uber Eats has about 10,000 employees (not drivers). That?s quite the payroll. Why so many? Can you imagine the amount of issues they deal with on a daily basis ? from consumers, drivers, and restaurants, all at once? They must need an army of support staff. Then there?s the actual tech. We tend to ignore the fact that this little app that allows us to summon food and watch a little car bring it to us ? someone had to build that. And scale it. And update it. And fix bugs. And it?s not just one guy, this requires hundreds of coders. And coders ain?t cheap.
Then there?s all the fun stuff all businesses pay for: rent, payment processing, lawyers, accountants, etc?. What am I missing? Oh, marketing! Have you noticed all the $0 delivery promos? Don?t you love that? Uber Eats spends a ton on marketing. You might think it?s a waste, but you must understand that these types of networks work best at scale. The bigger they get, the better the unit economics get. And those must get better. Why? Well?
Are you ready for a curveball? Uber Eats is losing money. Like a lot of money. Didn?t see that coming did you? We just see big revenue numbers and think ?those greedy monsters? ? but remember: revenue is not profit. See, we forgot to ask: ?Hey Uber, just wondering, like how much did you spend for those millions exactly???
?Analysts didn?t say how exactly Uber is losing all that money, but a good guess would be on regular and incentive pay for drivers. Uber paid out $253M more to drivers than it recognized in revenue (plus another $5M in referral bonuses). Uber also spends money on discounts for Eats customers.? -Yahoo Finance
Oh. That?s a lot. Why are they doing this then? It?s all part of the plan ? investing to reach economies of scale, so that one day, the business model actually makes sense (and money).
?He said Uber would accelerate growth at its loss-making food delivery Uber Eats, to become the top player in most worldwide markets, eventually increasing the segment?s margins, which are currently a drag on earnings.? ? Venture Beat
Yep, you read that right ? they have margin problems too! How relatable! And, just like restaurants, Uber Eats looks for ways to cut costs. One strategy is batching orders so a driver picks up multiple meals at once. They also entice customers with free delivery from restaurants that already have a courier en route. These tactics help them make trips more cost effective. But for now, they lose money on most deliveries.
?So next time you order through UberEats, take a small amount of satisfaction knowing you are costing Uber more than your meal is worth.? ? Eater
Ya. Let?s just digest that for a second.
The reality is, it costs more than we realized to have any food, brought right to our doorstep, at any time. That?s why Uber Eats charges restaurants 30%. But since restaurants don?t have 30%, many are left feeling like ?We know they are no good for us, but we can?t break up with them either…? Uber Eats has become a necessary evil. But is there a lesser evil?
Yes. There is a way to make it work. I know because we did it at Wolf Down. And it works quite well in fact. You just need to charge more on Uber Eats. That?s it. Then customers at least have the choice. Our dners are $11 in-store or $13 on Uber Eats. If you want to save $2, no problem, come see us. If you wanna Netflix and wolf down for an extra $2 ? you do you.
I?ll admit I expected a lot of push back on this. I was ready for it. Prepared to explain and defend myself. I waited for the complaints. They never came. We?ve literally received zero complaints about our pricing on Uber Eats. In fact, the only time we get complaints is when we have to turn it off because we?re slammed in-store.
Some people say we aren?t allowed to do that. And it?s true Uber Eats didn?t initially support this. But that was then, and this is now?
?Uber Eats said menu pricing is determined by restaurants. ?We strongly encourage restaurants to provide the best price possible while ensuring they have a compelling business opportunity,? the company said.? ? Global News
I can only assume they finally realized it?s unsustainable. Or maybe they were just like ?wait a minute, if we let them charge more, we make more??
?A High Priest burger from popular chain The Burger?s Priest is $10.29 on their website but $12.59 on Uber Eats. A spokesperson said the premium helps manage the extra costs; including a 25-35 % service fee and a significant increase in packaging costs. A Oaxaca Bowl from Freshii is $8.99, however, the same bowl is $10.79 on Uber Eats. Freshii declined to comment.? ? Global News
At this point, charging a premium for delivery has become a widespread practice, with many restaurants charging about 20% more. Even McDonald?s and Subway have higher prices on Uber Eats.
?Doordash, Postmates and Uber Eats said restaurants controlled their food prices. Big national chains tend to give smaller commissions to delivery apps, so menu prices are sometimes inflated to collect more commission.? ? New York Times
So here?s the deal, rather than hate on Uber Eats, we made friends with them. And that friendship has been fruitful ? see below for a summary of our experience so far. Thanks to Uber Eats, over 8,000 Wolf Down dners have been delivered to happy customers (4.8 star rating seems to indicate as much anyway). We?re nearing $200k in incremental revenue which is not too shabby for a brand that?s not even 1 year old (chart drop off due to COVID-19).
Now, I know you?re thinking ??hey now, that?s revenue, not profit!?. You?re right. Proud of you! But don?t worry, there is a tiny bit of profit in there ? because we charged more on Uber Eats from Day 1. And there?s another benefit: the added revenue helps offset fixed costs, boosting our margins over all. So ya, thanks Uber Eats!
To quickly revisit our food cost break down from my last post, here it is again including third-party delivery. You?ll notice labour and overhead are reduced since delivery doesn?t use up staff time taking orders nor require space for seating. On the other hand, packaging costs are slightly higher, and of course there?s the Uber Eats fee. As you can see, without the bump up from $11 to $13 for delivery, we?d be bleeding out like mad.
If you?re annoyed with me, thinking ?Is increasing prices her answer for everything?? Sorry? Not sorry. It?s not like I?m making this shit up just for fun. I simply want us to understand why it is what it is so we?re not all so irrationally upset about it all the time.
But wait! What if we just did delivery ourselves? Ok, let?s look at that. Why don?t restaurants do their own delivery? For one, it?s difficult to hire a full-time delivery person without ruining (already razor thin) profit margins. Do you know how much time and money it takes to develop your own app? Do customers really want to download different apps for every restaurant? What happens at dinner rush when you have 19 delivery orders at once?
?The average person expects their food within fifteen minutes of their order.?
Just for fun, here are some quick numbers. Say we wanted to hire our own delivery guy. We are open 12 hours a day and pay them $15/hour. We?d need 2 guys at least, which would cost us 2 x 12hrs x $15 = $360. On an average day we do over $1k of sales on Uber Eats. At 30% we are paying them $300. And with Uber Eats, we often have 5 or more deliveries happening at once, which we couldn?t do with just two guys. Not to mention, since we pay based Uber Eats based on volume, there?s less risk on slower days. And don?t forget the app that makes ordering and payment so quick and convenient for customers.
Let?s be real, we can?t hope to match the efficiency of Uber Eats. This is what they were designed for. Why not let them do what they do best, and instead focus on how we can improve our businesses. Cause guess what? They ain?t going nowhere.
?Even with quarantines in place, Uber Eats? saw an approximate 10% increase in sales last week. That?s a significant uptick considering there is a global pandemic underway. In addition, Uber Eats has seen a 30% surge in customer sign ups, an influx of new drivers, and more restaurants joining.? ? Forbes
The reality is, we?re moving towards a society that values convenience. And if anything, COVID-19 is only accelerating things.
?In China, where physical-distancing restrictions have already been loosened, surveys reveal the following three trends: post-crisis spending in-restaurant is expected to be lower, demand for takeout is expected to return fairly quickly, and consumers will likely spend more on food delivery than before.? ? McKinsey
It?s time to stop blaming Uber Eats. And start leveraging them instead. So restaurants: be brave, adjust your pricing, and stand by your value. Then it?s up to customers to decide. Better to give them the option than not, because many want it ? and they will pay for the convenience.
One final feel-good thought: not sure if you noticed, but food delivery services have actually been pretty generous during this COVID-19 crisis ? offering free delivery (free for us, not them), donating millions to restaurant employee relief funds, lowering commission fees, and more? Uber Eats even added a feature to donate directly to restaurants (I can confirm 100% goes to the restaurant). I?ve been blown away by how many of our orders since include donations. Thank you donors! And thank you Uber for making it so easy! These features don?t just pop up out of nowhere ? Uber pays coders to build them, for us. | eng | 0738be7a-9c45-468a-afaf-64c4150cff7c | https://911weknow.com/why-uber-eats-is-a-necessary-evil |

My GUESS is that you would use these to count gear teeth - used for feedback to determine how fast/far your robot moves, or for sensing the motion of anything else using chain/sprocket. However ours were missing when we did our kit inventory …
Okay. A gear-tooth sensor sits in your gearbox and uses a magnetic field in order to sense each specific tooth go by. The Hall Effect is the concept that allows the integrated circuit to take a measurement of the magnetic field surrounding it. (Hall effect compasses are also popular) The amount of time that elapses between the each tooth gives the speed of the rotating gear, which can then be scaled to the speed of the wheel, etc.
This is not a gyro. A gyro returns your angular acceleration (NOT your angular heading… you would need to integrate the acceleration to get that)
This is not a gyro. A gyro returns your angular acceleration (NOT your angular heading… you would need to integrate the acceleration to get that)
Gyros measure angular velocity, not acceleration. The first integral of the velocity it the distance, so integrating a gyro provides angular distance, or relative heading.
Using a gyro to measure the robot's heading is pretty common with FIRST robots. The parts teams used last year are the Analog Devices ADXRS150EB and ADXRS300EB. The only difference is that the 150 can measure ± 150 degrees per second and the 300 measures up to 300 degrees per second.
Alright so this isn't a gyro, I'm good with that, but is this what was Demoed at the kickoff where the robot was able to correct its position? Does the hall effect sensor return your angular heading?
I BELIEVE what was demoed at the kickoff (not 110% sure) was the accelerometer. An accelerometer gives back a reading that tells how fast you are accelerating, i.e. changing speed, in a given direction. Using some programming, you can sense when you are moving and take steps to remedy it. A hall-effect sensor uses a magnetic field to detect a metallic presence, and therefore does not return angular headings. I am pretty sure they put out pulses when a metallic presence is detected. It's just an FET, in other words.
To clear things up, the HAL effect sensors have NOTHING TO DO WITH ACCELERATION, OR HEADING. They are a type of sensor that detects the presence of ferrous materias. They are designed to be mounted up against(but not touching) the teeth of a gear in a gearbox or other assembly. They will output 1 pulse for each gear tooth that goes by them. IfIfNo. To be honest it's still dead reackoning and you still do not percisely know where the robot is with 100% certainty.
These guys simply output a digital signal corresponding to whether or not a gear tooth is in front of them or not, and the polarity of the signal depends on the direction of gear rotation wrt the sensor itself (see the data sheet for more details: Think of this device as a one-bit wheel encoder when you program for it.
The air gap, according to the manufacturer, should be 0.5-2.5mm, though they assure us that their adaptive sensing technology can make it work for an even bigger gap, especially with larger gear teeth.
The device has an open-drain output stage, but the digital inputs on the RC have pull-up resistors built-in, so you can directly connect the signal to the RC's inputs. Try to avoid grounding the signal wire, though, as this would technically be a short-circuit. Don't worry if you do – the manufacturer says it has short-circuit protection on the output stage.
We are given two Hall Effect Sensors. By using them to count teeth of sprockets on opposite sides of your robot you can calculate the difference in number of wheel rotations, and from that rotation of your robot.
If they are used this way, i believe, they work as a replacement for a gyro, although they would not account for being pushed or otherwise interfered with.
Guys,
Read some of the posts above before making guesses. The Hall effect sensors are easy tachometers that can tell you how fast a gear is rotating and how many gear teeth have passed by the front of it. Using two on the same gear, about 90% apart, can also give you direction information with some simple electronics or software interpretation. The accelerometer can be used only to give an indication of turning. It will give a large output for a bump or fast turn and a small output for a slow turn. Combine the data from all three and you will know that you have traveled "X" inches in some direction relative to your starting direction.
As a caveat, if your wheels are not firmly on the ground, counting gear teeth tell you nothing.
Check the Accelerometer bag. They are very tiny things and many teams have found them stuck to the accelerometer so they look like part of it.
Thanks, I haven't had a chance to re-check our kit yet, but I see that this is documented in the "Guidelines, Tips and Good Practices" document (page 26 - see attachment). IMO this should have been documented on the kit checklist (to look on the accelerometer). Seems these could be easily missed, even for those who know what they are looking for :o | eng | 4ecf7d07-f6eb-4a89-b860-96dada0ffb3b | https://www.chiefdelphi.com/t/hall-effect-sensor/57628 |

6 ways to make time to read
Cultivating a love for the written word
Reading is one of my favorite pastimes and has been for as long as I can remember. I have fond memories from my childhood of staying up into the wee hours of the night, devouring books. My mom read aloud to us as children and did an excellent job instilling a love of reading into me.
I wanted to share some tips and tricks I've learned along the way to help build reading into my regular rhythms. (If you need some reading recommendations, here are the books I read in 2018 and 2019) Before we dive in, I thought I'd share some of my favorite quotes about reading.
"Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again." – C.S. Lewis
"If you don't like to read, you haven't found the right book." – J.K. Rowling
"You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me." – C.S. Lewis
"To learn to read is to light a fire; every syllable that is spelled out is a spark." – Victor Hugo
I hope you find these suggestions helpful and that they give you an appetite for the written word.
1. Develop a rhythm of reading
If you want reading to be a regular part of your life, you need to make it a priority. Duh, right? But seriously, block off time on your schedule, and develop the habit of reaching regularly for a book, instead of defaulting to reaching for your phone or the TV remote.
Below are a few suggestions for habit building:
Read in the morning before you get ready for the day.
Read before bedtime.
Read 10 pages a day.
Set a timer, and read for a certain amount of time without touching your phone.
Personally, I read a few pages of a book in the morning after my quiet time and read before bed at night a few times a week.
2. Always carry a book
I always carry a book with me. Whenever I have a few spare minutes, I'll take out a book and read a few pages. A few pages here and there really add up. Try it for a week. You'd be surprised how often you'll be able to read.
If you want reading to be a regular part of your life, you need to make it a priority.
I try to be selective about the book I carry with me. I aim for one that's easy to pick up and jump into without taking a ton of time to reorient myself back into the book. I recommend a biography or a personal development type of book.
3. Read books that are interesting
Life is too short to read books that don't capture your attention. If a book just isn't interesting to you, quit the book. Your time is precious, and you shouldn't waste it on bad books. Give yourself permission to quit books.
4. Use the library
I'm such a fan of the library. I love it for checking out novels and books I know I likely won't reread. Also, if you haven't heard of the app "OverDrive," you're missing out. It's your local public library's free access to thousands of e-books and audiobooks.
5. Put your phone on "Do not Disturb"
How often have you started doing a task only to be interrupted five minutes later with a notification on your phone? I've been there more times than I can tell you. That's why I regularly use the "Do not Disturb" feature on my phone. Or better yet, put your phone in the other room so you're not even tempted to pick it up.
Sometimes it takes me a while to get into a book, but it's easier if I'm not constantly distracted by my phone. You'd be surprised how much you can read if your focus is entirely engrossed in the task at hand.
6. "Read" on your commute
Halfway through this year, I decided to purchase an Audible subscription, and I've loved it. Oftentimes, I'll pop on an audiobook and listen on my commute. A few other creative ways I find time to "listen" to books is while I'm cleaning, folding laundry, cleaning out my inbox, etc. (I don't usually listen to anything while I'm walking outside. I like to be able to fully engage in nature when I'm outside.) Audible is $15 a month, but well worth the investment.
It's important to remember that reading looks different in the changing seasons of life, and that's okay. If you're a mom of small children, chances are it's going to be a lot more difficult to find time to read. Give yourself grace, and don't compare your reading pace with someone else's. I'm currently in a season of life that allows me to read more, but I know that it won't always be this way.
Reading is worth the effort. I hope these suggestions encourage you to at least give it a try. Reading is a pleasure and a privilege, and I want to equip you to deeply enjoy it. I challenge you to take these suggestions and put your own personal spin on them as you begin a new year.

Boston College
Recommended Posts
The history of Boston College is a narrative of response to society's call. In 1863, that call came from an immigrant community that sought a Jesuit education to foster social mobility. Boston College offered that promise.
Today, the call emanates from a world that has experienced an explosion of knowledge, but not a corresponding growth in understanding a world that too often lacks trust in its leaders and faith in its institutions. It is a world that has developed great technologies that link continents but isolates human beings, leaving many men and women weary and dispirited, feeling distant from moral purpose, uncertain about knowledge, or the very worth of human endeavor.
Boston College is uniquely capable of answering this call, of speaking to this world. As an institution of higher education, Boston College is committed to the discovery and transmission of knowledge. However, reflecting its Jesuit and Catholic heritage, it also seeks to integrate excellence and religious commitment to inform and form its students.
Boston College endeavors to educate a new generation of leaders—men and women who will be capable of shaping the future with vision, justice, and charity—with a sense of calling, with concern for all of the human family. Boston College builds upon its traditions. It seeks to be the national leader in the liberal arts to fulfill its Jesuit, Catholic mission of faith and service to continue to develop model programs to support students in their formation and to seek solutions—as researchers, educators, leaders, and caregivers—that directly address the world's most urgent problems.
Boston College remains committed to leading its students on a comprehensive journey of discovery that integrates their intellectual, personal, ethical, and religious formation. Inspiration for Boston College's academic and societal mission is drawn from its distinctive religious and intellectual heritage. As a Jesuit, Catholic University, Boston College is rooted in a world view that calls us to learn, search for truth, and live in service to others. To fulfill that mission, we welcome and embrace a diverse student body's contributions from many faith traditions.
We are educating men and women who shape the world with vision, justice, and charity. Be part of a new generation of independent thinkers and change-makers addressing the challenges of contemporary life.
With nearly 3 million volumes housed in multiple repositories, Boston College's libraries are at our University's heart. They are where you can find the latest research or discover a rare book, from a quiet carrel or the convenience of your tablet. Regularly cited as one of the most beautiful libraries globally, Bapst offers 400 quiet study spaces in a combination of individual carrels and tables. More than 51,000 volumes on art, architecture, museum studies, and photography are housed in our original campus library. Our University's rare books and special collections, including the largest and most comprehensive Irish collection in the United States, are housed in Burns Library. Students and scholars can access original materials from saints and Nobel laureates, surrounded by fantastic art and dramatic stained-glass windows. The ERC meets the Lynch School of Education's specialized resource needs, with an emphasis on learning in K-12 classrooms. An interactive technology room and 50-seat multimedia classroom offer the latest classroom innovations for projects and lesson plans.
Education is a process of discovery and development. At Boston College, you engage in that process in the classroom and through programs across the campus that inspire creativity, nurture friendship, cultivate leadership, and promote social good. Across disciplines, collaborative teams of undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty are examining our contemporary world's complex problems, proposing new solutions and new ways of thinking about religion and culture, science and technology, art and education, business, and ethics, and announcing the Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society. The Schiller Institute for Integrated Science and Society will be the centerpiece of a new 150,000 square-foot science facility scheduled for construction beginning in the spring of 2019 at roughly $150 million.
Boston College was founded in 1863 by the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits) to educate Boston's predominantly Irish, Catholic immigrant community. On September 5, 1864, it opened its doors in a building on Harrison Avenue in Boston's South End, a "small streetcar college" for commuting students. When it outgrew the space's limitations, then-president Rev. Thomas I. Gasson, S.J., bought 31 acres of the former Lawrence Farm in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, and broke ground in 1909 on a new campus, today fondly known as "the Heights." BC began as an undergraduate liberal arts college, but as its aspirations grew, it added graduate programs and professional schools fulfilling its charter.
Boston College, the first institution of higher education to operate in Boston, is today among the nation's foremost universities, a leader in the liberal arts, scientific inquiry, and student formation. Grounded in the ideals that inspired our Jesuit founders, Boston College urges students to look inward but always reach out—to develop their minds and talents to the fullest and use them in service to others.

$ can come consistently
Accounts Receivable (AR) is a key parameter in the financial division of every healthcare facility. It is defined as the money owed by the healthcare facility for the services rendered to the patients. Being a vital aspect of the revenue cycle management, the cash flow of the healthcare facility is directly proportional to the managing of AR.
AR is calculated as:
Total charges for last 6 months/number of days in last 6 months = average daily charges
Total AR / average daily charges = days in AR
AR can be duly managed if the medical billing and coding professionals are knowledgeable about coding parameters, insurance rules, timely claim filing and follow up (of regular and rejected claims). Usually, the healthcare facility is paid by the insurance and the patient. A delay in either of these negatively affects revenues and leaves a great deal on the table. Hence, it is imperative to monitor the AR on a continuous basis. And this must be done by professionals who know the healthcare practices' contract terms claims adjudication. The professionals managing AR must also know how to calculate copays which the patients are required to pay.
Other practices to be followed are: prior authorization, copays collection, insurance verification, referral management, and financial policies made clear to the patient.
Technology:
For an effectual revenue cycle, the workflow of the revenue cycle must have standard processes that need to be followed, including a unified front and back office. For this, a practice management system (PMS) or the electronic medical record (EMR) must be in use. Technology makes work a lot easier and must be embraced. The EMR maintains vital information such as patient records, visits, reimbursement related documents, and other details of claims and follows ups, assisting in managing ARs well.
Metrics:
Although other metrics are equally important in the healthcare business, with tighter margins, it is getting all the more imperative to manage the number of days in AR (the days refers to the number of days between the patient discharge and when the payment is made, creating a direct impact on the revenues). Further, the personnel responsible for collecting AR must be informed of the applicable benchmarks to be used for measuring performance. AR's performance must be measured each month to know of any potential collection issues and the result it has been having on cash flows. The ultimate goal is to minimize the time between the claim submitted and the payments received. AR days measure this time and let the healthcare facility know their medical financial stability.
Benchmarks for collections:
30 days for a high performing, 40-50 days for an average performing and 60 days or more for a below-average performing medical billing department.
Variables of A/R:
1) Payer mix:
The medical billing and coding professionals handling AR must know the payers who pay sooner and those who don't. "Cash in 60 days" is the time shown for newer bills. If this is not shown, it indicates a delay.
2) Payment discrepancies: Meeting with payers is a good option to solve discrepancies, taking steps to avoid them in the future, and dealing with pending claims to ensure timely payments.
3) Aging bucket:
This bucket deals with 0-30 days, 31-60 days, and 61-90 days. A report must show the amount of A/R in each aging bucket. This is then converted to a percentage of total AR. A monthly report showing these measures can be particularly helpful to monitor AR and its performance.
If these practices are followed well, there should be no concern in getting reimbursed timely and accurately. Minimizing AR must be a team effort. The quicker the turnover in AR, the lesser amounts of efforts required in looking around for cash from other sources.

Assessor
The assessor is a local government official who estimates the value of real property within the Town of Burke's boundaries in accordance with New York State Property Tax Laws. This value is converted into an assessment, which is one component in the computation of real property tax bills.
The assessor performs many other administrative functions, such as inspecting new construction and major improvements to existing structures. This ensures that the record of each property's physical inventory is current and that the appropriate improvements are assessed.
The assessor also approves and keeps track of property tax exemptions. Among the most common are the senior citizen, School Tax Relief (STAR), veterans, agricultural, and business exemptions.

stuck on java track task? not sure how to compare the last name to a character
I have modeled an assistant for a tech conference. Since there are so many attendees, registration is broken up into two lines. Lines are determined by last name, and they will end up in line 1 or line 2. Please help me fix the getLineFor method.
NEW INFO: chars can be compared using the > and < symbols. For instance 'B' > 'A' and 'R' < 'Z'
ConferenceRegistrationAssistant.java
publicclassConferenceRegistrationAssistant{publicintgetLineFor(StringlastName){/* If the last name is between A thru M send them to line 1 Otherwise send them to line 2 */intline=0;if(lastName.substring(0,1)<'M'){intline=1;}else{intline=2;}returnline;}}
3 Answers
publicclassConferenceRegistrationAssistant{publicintgetLineFor(StringlastName){intline=0;if(lastName.charAt(0)>'M'){/* The getLineFor method takes a String "lastName" as an argument. Strings are concatenations of characters and they can be counted from 0 . You can use the charAt() method to compare the char at the place 0 inside String "lastName" with a single character of your interest. Here we write a condition: if char at position 0 of the "lastName" is greater then character 'M', the line is 2.*/returnline=2;// return int 2}else// everething is under 'M'// line is 1returnline=1;// return int 1}}
If this is helpful please make sure to vote best answer! Happy coding!
You need to compare the first character of the last name to the aforementioned intervals of characters:
lastName.charAt(0) >= 'A' && lastName.charAt(0) <= 'M'
The reason your code doesn't work is because the substring() method returns a String and not a char primitive type and you cannot compare incompatible types. The Java compiler simply doesn't know how to infer this type of comparison.
The first error is telling you that you can't compare two different types, they must be the same type (either both Strings or both Chars). The substring method returns a string, and 'M' is a char. I would recommend using the charAt method instead of substring since you are only interested in a single char. The other two problems are telling you that you can't create new variables with the same name (int line), so remove the 'int' from the last two.
if(lastName.charAt(0) < 'M') {
line = 1;
}

Robert Dunlap Clarke traveled along the Bozeman Trail in 1867 and 1868
as United States Army paymaster for the forts along the Trail. Clarke was born
in Brownsville, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Kenyon College, Ohio. He
married Mary Evans Willson with whom he had three children: Alpheus, Sarah
Robertina, and Eliza Willson. Eliza Willson Clarke married Major Thomas Tipton
Thornburgh who was killed during the White River Ute war of 1879. Major Clarke
lived in Washington D.C. after retiring from the army. He is buried in
Uniontown, Pennsylvania.
The collection contains two diaries kept by Clarke from October to
November 1867, and from May to July 1868, while he was traveling as paymaster
to Forts Phil Kearny, Fetterman, and Reno in present-day Wyoming and Fort C.F.
Smith in present-day Montana. Clarke drew sketches of the forts and surrounding
areas in his diaries, and in the back of the 1867 diary he transcribed personal
anecdotes and myths and history of the Sioux and other Plains tribes told to
him by Nicholas Janis, guide for the party. The collection also contains three
photoprints of drawings of Fort Omaha by Clarke, a drawing of Fort Omaha by
fellow army officer Albert G. Brackett, and some items regarding Major
Thornburgh. | eng | 7a8eb538-9b04-4d38-b866-c80e44e51fcd | https://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:/80444/xv696092 |
Global awareness as part of IB learning
Continuing our themes for 2014, this month we focus on global awareness and what it means in the classroom.
The internationally-minded IB student is a critical and creative thinker. They engage in global ideas and issues with humanity and compassion. The world in which we live in can be unpredictable and challenging at times, but the IB student can break down these problems and make ethical, reasoned and balanced arguments based on continual development.
Engaging IB students in regular discussions about world issues doesn't have to be another challenge. We have created a global engage calendar that is available for teachers to use in the classroom:
It contains interesting facts and reflective questions, and provides ideas for student activities linked to IB learner profiles. Every month, students get involved in global-based activities to better understand the world around us.
As long as IB learners are responsible members of local, national and global communities, they will help create a better and more peaceful world | eng | ed17c603-0406-4cae-bc93-40940c228ff0 | https://blogs.ibo.org/blog/2014/08/14/global-awareness-as-part-of-ib-learning/ |
Awesome Son-in-law Chapter 5615
As for why he wanted to tell a fortune for him, the reason was also very good, it was that Charlie wade had been explicitly and implicitly telling them to be careful, and the reason he said that was that he hoped that he would not leave Aurous Hill University in the near future, and it would be strange if he could not comprehend that instead.
So, it was after he had comprehended this that he himself had a fortune told for him.
After reading his fortune, he found that he was in no danger, and out of gratitude, he also wanted to read Charlie wade's fortune, so because of this, he himself called to ask Charlie wade's birthday, and everything went back to the very beginning.
In this way, the logic would be self-consistent.
Sometimes it takes a hundred lies to explain a single lie told, and the reason for this is that it is difficult for the liar to be logical and self-consistent, always being found out;
But for a girl like Lin Wan'er, who was extremely intelligent, the lie had already completed its logical self-consistency and formed a closed loop in her brain before it was uttered, so when Charlie wade heard it, he did not notice anything unusual at all.
He felt that Lin Wan'er's desire to tell his fortune should also be out of good intentions.
Thinking of this, he did not hide it anymore and told Lin Wan'er his birthday.
When Lin Wan'er heard that the birthday Charlie wade had mentioned was exactly the same as the one she had found on his profile, she could not help but feel a surge of relief in her heart.
It seemed that Charlie wade should really trust himself.
She then spoke, "Brother Charlie wade, I will do the calculation for you now and tell you the first time when I have the results."
"Good."
……
When Charlie wade drove back to Townsend One, his phone received a message from Lin Wan'er.
In the message, Lin Wan'er wrote: "Brother Charlie wade, I have done some calculations for you, the trigrams show that you may encounter a very serious danger in the near future, the danger is coming from the north and there is no way to resolve it, you must be careful and careful again recently!"
When Charlie wade saw this message, he couldn't help but frown, he didn't get out of the car, but sent back a message asking, "What does it mean that there is no way to resolve it? How can't you avoid it?"
Lin Wan'er replied, "Yes …… there is no way to resolve it, you can only face it ……"
Charlie wade's expression suddenly flinched.
He had an intuition that what Lin Wan'er had said was by no means something that was created out of nothing.
Combined with her mysterious identity background, her understanding and mastery of the eight trigrams of the I Ching might have really surpassed Exoer.
So, this was further proof that what she said was on target.
More importantly, Charlie wade had a bad feeling the moment he saw her.
Grandmother's family had come to Aurous Hill, and so had Lin Wan'er, and his first thought at that moment was that the Earl of the Broken Qing Society was afraid that he was also on his way to Aurous Hill.
Now, in combination, the danger Lin Wan'er spoke of was the same as his own suspicions.
Charlie wade's heart suddenly tensed up.
He felt like a general guarding a fortress, the sound of the enemy's iron hooves was getting closer and closer, while he did not know whether to guard the eastern wall or the western wall.
His wife had to guard, his grandparents had to guard, and if he had that ability, Lin Wan'er had to guard too.
Just when he was feeling divided, he suddenly remembered the details Lin Wan'er had said on the phone earlier.
Lin Wan'er said that she had told her own trigrams and that they showed that she was in no danger.
In that case, it was his wife, as well as his grandparents, who he had to guard.
With so many people coming over from the United States, it would be difficult to keep the noise down and not be noticed by someone with an eye on the situation.
Therefore, Charlie wade concluded that if the other party came to Aurous Hill, the target should be grandparents' family! | eng | a5d5f181-e4f1-45f4-b53a-151e68a04903 | https://avranovel.com/1/awesome-son-in-law-chapter-5615/ |

Notes from the field A nurse's determination
When we started our Nurse Aide programme, we aimed not only to meet a demand for health workers, but also to address unemployment among young women. Various social and emotional challenges arise in the path to employment, and our counsellors work with our nurse aides to support them through these challenges.
Priya* was compelled to go back to her parent's house after being mentally harassed by her alcoholic husband and in laws. She felt the need to be independent despite objection from her in laws. During that time, her aunt, who did the nurse aide course herself, introduced her to the course.
He husband would make random visits to the hospital she worked in and demand for her salary. After she completed four months of theory, she was called back by her in laws to do household chores, since her sister-in-law was delivering a baby. She was highly overworked and was unable to complete her internship on time moreover her in laws objected to her taking up a night duty job.
Her faculty understood the situation and gave Priya flexibility in timings so she can attend the classes after completing the household chores. This encouraged her to be resilient.
Priya is now earning and is able to financially support her in laws and parents.
"I am very thankful and grateful to SNEHA for giving me skills so I can earn a livelihood. I am now confident that I can face any challenges in life" she says. | eng | 79609701-ecb9-4809-86d9-ab76877d5b1b | https://www.snehamumbai.org/nurse-aide-programme/ |
Welcome to why people shouldn't get too excited about the Chauvin verdict. For every appropriate guilty verdict and sentence there are a dozen incidents wherein obviously criminal cops suffer no consequences worse than forced paid vacation.
Interestingly, the author of that article concludes that the Supreme Court is trending towards being stricter on qualified immunity claims and that this 5th Circuit decision is in opposition to that momentum.
Off-duty, out of uniform cop chases down car full of teenagers, brandishes gun, shoots one, chases some more, and makes no attempt to arrest them nor provide any aid to the driver he shot.
Quote:
In pain and bleeding, the teenagers drove a short distance away, pulled over, and got out of their car, Howe said. They saw Dolan drive up in his white pickup truck and get out, too. That time, Howe said, Dolan did not approach them or make any attempt to take any of the teens into custody. He did not acknowledge that the driver had been injured.
"It's so clear he wasn't stopping what he thought was a crime. He would have approached the person that he shot ... and either take them into custody and call an ambulance," Howe said. "I've been a lawyer for 40 years. This is an intensely questionable story."
Interestingly, the author of that article concludes that the Supreme Court is trending towards being stricter on qualified immunity claims and that this 5th Circuit decision is in opposition to that momentum.
This was an observation about the current SCOTUS, too... so this is including Barrett and Kavanagh__________________ "If everyone in the room says water is wet and I say it's dry that makes me smart because at least I'm thinking for myself!" - The Proudly WrongGoing by how these things go they probably have video of him doing something entirely different. But who are you going to believe the police or your lying eyes?In many situations this should include criminal prosecution of the police service not just the grunt on the ground. Command responsibility. If The officers commanding were at risk of conviction for the actions of those under their command standards would be enforced / improved. Continuing to prosecute individual officers will have less impact than prosecuting the Sheriff / police chief, etc. At present it easier to keep dubious people in post and not stand up to the
union. If keeping someone in post who was not suited to be a police officer meant those in charge might have to take responsibility for subsequent happenings I think there would be more steel in dealing with police unions.
Cop shot and killed a 17 year old boy that was armed with a blue jug. Witness at the scene says cop made no commands or warning, just opened fire striking the boy in the neck.
Quote:
During a traffic stop last week, an Arkansas sheriff's deputy shot and killed a teenage boy who was only armed with a neon-blue jug of antifreeze, family members told VICE News.
Lonoke County Sheriff's Office Sgt. Michael Davis stopped 17-year-old Hunter Brittain near Cabot, Arkansas, at about 3 a.m. last Wednesday, and it's still unclear why. Hunter had been having trouble with his truck when Davis pulled in behind him outside of a local auto repair shop and flashed his emergency lights, according to the account of a 16-year-old riding with Hunter at the time. When Hunter went to put the antifreeze behind his back tire so his vehicle wouldn't roll into the officer's, Davis allegedly fired at him.
"In potentially dangerous situations, deputies are often forced to make split-second decisions," Staley said. "Second-guessing those decisions, especially when the facts are still unclear, is dangerous and unfair."
Some might argue that getting shot dead for trying to chock the tires on your broken truck is dangerous and unfair, but opinions differ.Story seems to add up so far:
Quote:
Scott Hundley owns Hundley Construction and he said that Brittain worked for him on and off for the past few years. Hundley said he talked to Hunter around 7 p.m. the night before.
"I was checking with him on his truck," Hundley said. "[He was] sending me pictures of his truck at the shop. He says he's been working on this truck but he's trying to make it."
Hundley said Hunter worked harder for him than many adults. Hundley showed KATV the Facebook messages between the two where Hunter tells his boss he'll ask for a ride from another co-worker if he's unable to get his truck up and running.
Quote:
There's only one other person who was there that morning. Jordan King, 16, spoke to KATV off camera. He said he and Brittain had worked through the night to change the transmission on his truck so he could work that morning and drove about a mile down the road to Mahoney's Body Shop to make the repairs. He said their families are friends with the owner.
Sounds like a 17 year old kid trying to get to work on time to me. According to this he had a good work ethic. Some young people do.
ETA:
Let's try this version:
I can think of twenty other possibilities of why someone would do this, the least common being "guy was about to shoot cop"
- guy is drunk or high
- guy has mental issues
- guy is dumb
- guy doesn't expect cops to shoot people carrying objects that don't look like guns.
I would think that all of these happen much more frequently then
- guy gets out to shoot cop
Agreed. Did you make it to the end of the post you are responding to?What other explanation do you propose that is more plausible? Seems like you're casting a lot of doubt based on your personal incredulity butWhat other explanation do you propose that is more plausible?

...?'m just baffled by your comment that suggests it's routine for 17 year olds to be able to effortlessly and correctly perform automatic transmission repairs.
It's kinda known to be a tricky operation, especially if you're trying to save bucks by rebuilding a broken transmission rather than paying thousands of dollars for a drop in replacement.Quote:
There's nothing at all suspicious about the story told by the surviving teen. They botched a transmission repair and the parking gear didnt work"someone else's child" is an odd way of saying a teenager and his similar aged friend. I suppose this is a useful verbiage to make it seem unusual that a couple teenagers might hang out together.
"someone else's child" is an odd way of saying a teenager and his similar aged friend. I suppose this is a useful verbiage to make it seem unusual that a couple teenagers might hang out together. freaking freakingYou're strawmanning pretty hard there, man. I don't treat anything as more likely except that the objective truth will likely be different from the recounting of a 16 yr old actor in the storyA crowd has formed at the officer involved shooting scene. Some participants have thrown objects and tried to enter the closed area. An officer's baton was grabbed by someone and when another officer intervened, the officer was sprayed with a chemical.
The video shows a protestor approach the riot line and yell at a cop and point their finger. The cops apparently doesn't like being talked to this way, takes a couple swats at the person's pointed finger, then starts charging with his nightstick. All the fellow riot cops charge in and start spraying pepperspray everywhere. If any cop was sprayed, it was friendly fire.
The video is unambiguous in showing that the cops initiated the violence, but you wouldn't get that impression from how the police describe events.
It surprises me that the cops still seem unaware that lots of people carry video cameras with a direct link to the internet these days.
Or they don't care. The Chauvin conviction was an exception to the normal course of events. Cops not even being charged, much less convicted. No matter how stark or compelling the evidence against them may be.
Quote:
They still seem to think they can make stuff up when they know it will be filmed and that people will swallow it.
They figure they can get away with it.
And most of the time they will be right.

Essay on Duddy vs Macbeth
The Corruption of Macbeth and Duddy Everyone should follow their dreams, but sometimes when you get too caught up in your dreams; you begin to forget about reality. Throughout the play Macbeth, written by William Shakespeare and the novel The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz, written by Mordecai Richler, protagonists Macbeth and Duddy become corrupted as they on the pursuit of their dream. Throughout the novel The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz and the play Macbeth, both protagonists have characters in their life that influence them into becoming corrupt. Both characters, Duddy and Macbeth have such a strong ambition that it leads to the corruption of themselves. Duddy and Macbeth's pursuit of their dreams leads them to be greedy which…show more content… Just like Macbeth, Duddy is willing to do anything he can in order to obtain his dream and have all his land even if it means hurting others that are close to him. We see this when Duddy steals money from Virgil when it says "Duddy took a quick look virgil's bank balance, whistled, noted his account number and ripped out two cheques. He forged the signature by holding the cheque and a letter Virgil had signed up to the window and tracing slowly." (Richler, 307-308) This shows that Duddy's ambition to get his land has him doing anything he can to get it which leads to his corruption. Also, throughout both Macbeth and Duddy, their ambition to pursue their dream leads to death or injuries of other characters which leads to their corruption. As Macbeth's ambition grows and he murders Duncan, we see him feel guilt when
Page 4 he says "I'll go no more. I am afraid to think what I have done; Look on 't again I dare not." (Shakespeare, 30) We see Macbeth begin to feel guilty and the more characters that die we see he begins to become more and more corrupt. Similar to Macbeth, we see Duddy's ambition to pursue his dream lead to a very severe injury of one of his friends.

The last blogpost (nasc thíos) introduced a few words from off the beaten track, even though the basic vocabulary was probably pretty familiar for advanced beginners and up. Today we'll look at some of the more familiar words from that post, but with some new examples and contexts. And a post after that will deal with the perhaps less familiar words.
I'm not going to try to give all the plurals and genitive cases here, just as they relate to the movie titles discussed in the previous blogpost. Ó, agus dála an scéil, tá cúpla bearna le líonadh isteach:
Seo an grúpa bunúsach, ar dtús gan an t-alt agus ansin leis an alt:
1)) áthas, happiness, an t-áthas; áthais, of happiness, an áthais, of the happiness. On its own, the phrase "the sixth happiness" would be "an séú __áthas," but remember, the actual movie title says "of the sixth happiness," so we add a couple more letters, to say 'Ósta an __Séú __Átha__s' as opposed to something like "Seo an séú __uair" (with no change to the word "séú" and no change at the end of "uair").
2)) breithe, born, as in 'lá breithe,' which, of course, can also be 'breithlá." from the verb '__ __ __ __'
3)) cineál, type, kind, sort; an cineál, the type/sort/kind
4)) dlúth, most typically 'thick' or 'condensed' but in the context 'Dlúth-Theagmhálacha den Tríú Cineál,' it means 'close' (that's "close," the adjective, not the verb "to close"). Hmm, come to think of it, what about "Condensed Encounters of the Third Kind'? Would that mean "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids' meets 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'? Or perhaps Twilight Zone's "The Invaders'(the episode starring Agnes Moorehead)?
5)) domhan, earth, world; an domhan, the earth, the world; an domhain, of the earth, of the world, as in "Seacht __Iontas an Domha__n.' That phrase wasn't included in the last blogpost, which, as you may remember, dealt with "orduimhreacha,"not "bunuimhreacha." The title we worked on last time was actually "Kong: Ochtú __Iontas an Domha__n.'
6)) iontas, wonder, surprise; an t-iontas, the wonder/surprise. And even though it's a repeat from the previous 'focal stórfhocail,' please complete the title again: Kong: Ochtú __Iontas an Domhain
7)) réalta, star; an réalta, the star, as in 'An Réalt__ __ __ __ __ __ __' (where the two "a's" overlap). Or for a few more samples using "réalta":
'Cogadh na Réalta__,' meaning '__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ ," or more literally "The __ __ __ __ of the __ __ __ __," which, by the way, as an Irish term got a grand total of seven Google hits when I searched for it. The English version got about 200,000,000 hits, not surprsiingly. Anyway, it's an interesting contrast to the phrase "cogadh na réaltraí' (galactic wars, or more literally, the war of the galaxies).
'Cathréalta Réaltrach,' which is as close as I can get to … hmm … got it? __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ . Hope you're good at counting blanks, 'cause those are both long words in English. So far no Google hits for that one came up in my search.
And then, taking "réalta" more abstractly, we could have,
"Beirtear Réalta," or, hmm, should that be, "Tá Réalta Á Breith"?
And here's a fun one:
Beithíoch Réalta, which translates to '__ __ __ __ __ __ __ __ __' and which apparently was the 'teideal oibre' for none other than the 1979 'Alien.' But actually, I'm really wondering, if we should use "beithíoch," which often simply refers to a cow (more specifically "bó"), an ox (more specifically "damh," or a horse (more specifically, "capall" or "each")
We could also say "brúid" but I see that can also be translated as a "depraved person." Hmm, should we call dangerous space creatures "depraved" just because we don't like how they behave?
Or is it a monster? In that case, we could use "ollphéist" or "arracht" or "ainbheithíoch." Aarrgh! An oiread sin de roghanna!
By the way, yes, I couldn't believe it when I first saw it, but the traditional Irish word for a squid is "máthair shúigh," which I can simply translate as "mother of sucking." Umm …?
And if it was really a monster, why didn't the filmmakers use "Star Monster" as the working title? Well, it's all more philosophical than I can deal with now. Even if it is good food for thought. Good food, that is, unless the "food" consists of "d'aghaidh" (your face) being sucked off by the squid-like organism!

The Pros and Cons of Having Fiberglass Shingles: Which is Better for Your Roof?
Roofs are a vital part of our homes—they protect us from the elements, are a visual representation of our style, and can even add to the resale value of our properties. But with so many roofing materials on the market, it can be difficult to decide which one is right for you. In this blog post, we'll weigh out the pros and cons of having fiberglass shingles on your roof. So grab your coffee and take a seat, it's time to go over why fiberglass shingles might (or might not) be the perfect choice for your roof!
The Pros of Fiberglass Shingles
When it comes to roofing, fiberglass shingles have a lot going for them. They're lightweight, durable, and easy to install – making them a popular choice for homeowners and businesses alike.
But what are the other benefits of fiberglass shingles?
Let's take a look:
Fiberglass shingles are fire-resistant. This is thanks to the glass fibers that make up the material, which won't burn or support combustion.
That makes them ideal for areas that are prone to wildfires or where there is a risk of fires starting on your property (such as near BBQs or grills). They're also wind resistant.
The same properties that make fiberglass shingles fireproof also help protect against high winds and severe weather conditions. That means they can stand up to heavy rains, strong gusts of wind, and even hailstorms without sustaining damage.
Plus, they last longer than most other types of roofing materials – with an expected lifespan of 20-30 years (compared to 15-20 years for asphalt).
And because they don't degrade in the sunlight as organic materials do, you won't have to worry about fading or discoloration over time either. So if you're looking for a durable, long-lasting, and fire-resistant roofing material, fiberglass shingles are worth considering!
The Cons of Fiberglass Shingles
Fiberglass shingles are an increasingly popular roofing option due to their durability and affordability. While these shingles have many advantages, there are certain cons associated with them as well.
One of the major downsides to fiberglass shingles is that they often present challenges for contractors who are not familiar with this type of roofing material. Fiberglass shingles can be challenging to install correctly due to their lightweight nature and the need for special tools and techniques. In addition, improper installation can easily lead to leaks, which can be costly to repair.
Another potential downside of fiberglass shingles is that they do not offer much protection from fire or high winds. Although they typically come with a fire rating of Class A, non-combustible materials such as slate or clay tiles offer better protection in case of a fire. Similarly, fiberglass shingles do not hold up well in extreme weather conditions like hurricanes or tornado activity, so homeowners in areas prone to these types of events may want to opt for another type of roofing material instead.
Still another disadvantage of fiberglass shingles is that over time they can become more susceptible to algae growth and UV rays, making it necessary for homeowners to conduct regular maintenance on their roofs to maintain their integrity and appearance. In addition, while fiberglass shingles generally have a longer lifespan than organic-based materials such as asphalt shingles, they tend to degrade faster when exposed to harsh weather conditions or airborne pollutants.
Ultimately, although there are some drawbacks associated with using fiberglass-based roof coverings, it is still a viable option for those looking for an affordable and long-lasting roof solution. However, before making any decisions regarding roof replacement or repairs individuals must consult with experienced contractors who understand the pros and cons of various types of roof coverings so that the best possible decision can be made for their home and budget.
How Long Do Fiberglass Shingles Last?
But how long do they last? We did some digging and here's what we found.
Fiberglass shingles can last anywhere from 15-30 years. However, this depends on several factors such as the quality of materials used, installation methods, ventilation, weather conditions, and maintenance. For example, if your fiberglass shingles are constantly exposed to strong sunlight or high temperatures, they will not last as long as those that aren't subjected to these extreme conditions.
Another important factor is whether or not you have proper ventilation in your attic space. If you don't have enough vents installed or if they are blocked by insulation, heat and moisture can build up under your roof which will cause the fiberglass shingles to deteriorate faster than usual. If you live in an area with severe weather conditions like hurricanes or tornadoes, then your fiberglass shingle roof might not last as long either since it could sustain damage from flying debris.
And finally, if you don't regularly inspect and maintain your roof (by removing leaves and branches) then its lifespan will be reduced because dirt and grime can clog up the tiny spaces between each fiberglass shingle.
All things considered though – assuming none of these negative factors apply to you – a properly installed fiberglass roof should give most homeowners no problems for at least 2 decades!
Key Takeaway: Fiberglass shingles can last 15-30 years, but this depends on several factors like installation, weather, and maintenance.
FAQs about The Pros and Cons of Having Fiberglass Shingles
Are fiberglass shingles worth it?
Fiberglass shingles are a popular choice for roofs because they're durable and fire-resistant. They also come in a variety of colors, so you can match them to the exterior of your home or business. Fiberglass shingles usually cost more than asphalt shingles, but they last longer – up to 30 years with proper maintenance.
One downside of fiberglass shingles is that they're not as recyclable as asphalt shingles. This means that when it's time to replace them, they'll end up in a landfill. Fiberglass shingles also require more initial energy to produce than asphalt shingles. However, over their lifetime, fiberglass shingles have lower embodied energy because they last longer.
What are the 3 disadvantages of composite shingles?
Fiberglass Shingles Disadvantages There are a few disadvantages to fiberglass shingles. One is that they can be more brittle than other types of asphalt shingles, so they may not stand up as well to impacts or severe weather conditions. They also tend to absorb heat more readily, which can cause them to deteriorate faster over time.
Finally, because they are lighter in weight than other types of shingles, they may require additional reinforcement around the edges and at points where high winds could potentially lift them off the roof.
How long does fiberglass shingle last?
Fiberglass shingles are one of the most popular roofing materials on the market today. They offer many benefits, including a long lifespan and low maintenance requirements. However, there are also some disadvantages to consider before installing fiberglass shingles on your home or business. One of the biggest advantages of fiberglass shingles is their longevity. When properly installed and maintained, these types of roofs can last for 20-30 years or more. This makes them an excellent investment for property owners who want to avoid frequent repairs and replacements.
Fiberglass shingles are also relatively easy to install, which can further reduce costs over time. Another benefit of fiberglass shingle roofs is that they require very little maintenance compared to other types of roofs. In most cases, all you'll need to do is clear away debris periodically and inspect for damage after severe weather events. If any problems do arise, they can usually be quickly repaired without needing to replace the entire roof.
Are fiberglass shingles the same as asphalt shingles?
Fiberglass shingles are made of glass fibers and mats, with asphalt as a binding agent. Asphalt is also used in making conventional shingles; however, fiberglass adds strength to the material. Fiberglass-based products do not absorb water, which makes them ideal for roofing because they resist cracking, curling, and moss growth. Because of these properties, fiberglass shingles last longer than organic ones—20 years or more compared to 12–18 years for organic materials like wood or felt paper.
They are also less likely to catch fire since glass is a non-combustible material. One downside to fiberglass shingles is that they can be brittle and may break if stepped on too hard without flexing first.
Also, because they don't contain any recycled content (unlike some asphalt products), their manufacture requires higher energy inputs than other types of roofs—though this difference has been decreasing as manufacturing processes have become more efficient over time.
Are fiberglass roofs good?
Pros and Cons of Fiberglass Shingles There are pros and cons to having fiberglass shingles. One of the main advantages of fiberglass shingles is that they're lightweight, making them easier to install than other types of roofing materials.
Fiberglass shingles also have a Class A fire rating, meaning they're highly resistant to fire. Additionally, fiberglass roofs reflect heat well, which can help keep your home cooler in the summer months and reduce energy costs.
Conclusion
The debate between fiberglass and asphalt shingles will continue as long as both products are on the market. In the end, it's up to each homeowner to decide which is best for their home.
Be sure to weigh all of the pros and cons before making your final decision!

Technology Transforms Allowance
4 years ago
With the advent and rapid adoption of technology, parents are modernizing their allowance strategies.
The practice of giving allowances to children developed in the early twentieth century when movie tickets and toys raised concerns about children's spending habits, according to the Encyclopedia of Children and Childhood in History and Society.
As wealth and opportunities for spending money have increased over the last century, so has the need for money management skills. Parents are shifting from cash, coins and piggy banks to pre-paid debit cards and online resources. These electronic tools allow parents to teach their children the critical skill of money management.
"They are a nice bridge between cash and credit cards," says Dr. Sue Lynn Sasser, former director of the Oklahoma Council on Economic Education and associate professor of Economics at the University of Central Oklahoma. "Some cards allow parents to set limits as they can with cash, which is an advantage over a credit card. The additional benefit is they can monitor online what the children are buying, which they cannot do with cash.
"We view this as a win-win for children and parents. Since there's a limit, the children can't overspend and parents can monitor expenditures online. This helps them teach and guide their teenagers or college students," says Don Walker, president and Arvest Bank, Tulsa.
Arvest Bank ranks highest with satisfaction in retail banking for the southwest region according to the recently released J.D. Power and Associates 2010 Retail Banking Satisfaction StudySM. Arvest Bank operates more than 230 bank branches in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas through a network of 16 locally managed banks, each with its own board of directors and management team. | eng | 261525de-47f1-4f07-a804-f5d5e2f6a27f | https://gtrnews.com/technology-transforms-allowance/ |

China and Russia have jointly called for the US to abide by a United Nations convention on biological weapons, as the powers continue to accuse each other of ramping up their military strength and threatening global safety.
The focus on biological weapons has intensified as Beijing and Washington have traded claims that the coronavirus' origin could be linked to each other's research in that field – accusations that have been largely rejected by scientists and denied by both governments.
The call was made on Thursday at an arms control committee discussion of the UN's Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons and on their Destruction (BWC).
It comes as China and Russia, each of which has rocky relations with Washington and its allies, have been stepping up military cooperation.

Why is China peddling a coronavirus conspiracy theory?
Why is China peddling a coronavirus conspiracy theory?
In a joint statement, the Chinese and Russian foreign ministers called for the abilities of the United States and its allies to be checked and limited, arguing that "in light of rapid advances in the field of science and technology with dual-use capabilities, the risk of biological agents being used as weapons has increased".Advertisement
Geng Shuang, China's deputy permanent representative to the UN, called for Washington to agree to add a legally binding protocol to the BWC.
The two countries proposed that under a monitoring mechanism, there should be "mobile biomedical teams" to investigate use of biological weapons and "help combat epidemics of various origins".
Biological weapons have a history dating back to the world wars and the Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union. The US government under George W. Bush rejected adding a draft inspection protocol to the convention in 2001, despite several letters carrying anthrax being sent to US senators and media, killing five and sickening 17 people, after the September 11 terrorist attacks that year.
At the time of the rejection, Donald Mahley, the US government's then special negotiator for chemical and biological arms control issues said the draft protocol "will not enhance our confidence in compliance and will do little to deter those countries seeking to develop biological weapons". There were also concerns that declarations about biodefence facilities and activities would pose national security risks.
The BWC, a Cold War-era treaty from 1972, is the only major international arms pact to lack an inspection mechanism. It commits parties not to develop, stockpile or use biological weapons and to promote the peaceful use of biology and technology.

Since Joe Biden entered the White House, Washington's security dialogue with China and Russia has been conducted through bilateral channels, after the previous US administration under Donald Trump called for trilateral military meetings and was rejected by Beijing.
The US has been alerted to China's build-up of nuclear and missile capability, with the US Defence Department saying in its annual report last year that China was trying to at least double the number of nuclear warheads in its arsenal in the next decade.

If he seems intimidated by this new environment or frightened by all the new things around him (especially if he hasn't been exposed to much before), try giving him treats as positive reinforcement for engaging with his surroundings instead of fear-based punishments like squirting water at him when he paws at something outside his comfort zone.
Keep in mind that dogs were born hunting predators who need lots of exercise every day!
Give Your Dog a Massage
Start by warming up your dog's muscles with a gentle rubdown. A few minutes of this can be enough for older dogs, but younger ones will enjoy a more vigorous massage.
Now that your pup is sufficiently warmed up, you're ready to start massaging in earnest. Begin by applying pressure in all directions: backward (from head to tail), forwards (from tail to head), side-to-side, and circularly around each limb from the shoulder to wrist or elbow-to-paw.
If possible, work on one body part at a time—this will help ensure that you don't inadvertently miss any crucial areas while also making it easier for your dog's muscles to relax during the massage process.
You can also apply deeper pressure when massaging certain areas like paws or ears; these are susceptible places where most dogs appreciate being touched gently with both hands at once (if possible).
Stock Up on Winter Pet Toys
If your dog loves to chew, you know that it's important to find toys that are safe for him. A toy that is too small or has sharp edges can become a choking hazard.
Additionally, ensure the toy is appropriate for their age (you don't want a very young puppy chewing on something intended for older dogs). You also need to consider their size—whether they are small enough to swallow or if the squeak is too loud.
These factors should help you identify the safest and most enjoyable toys for your pet this winter.
You can have fun pampering your pets this winter.
You can make your pet's winter coat softer by giving them a massage. After all, who doesn't like getting massages? Dogs especially enjoy this kind of pampering—it's a great bonding experience for the two of you and helps keep their coats healthy!
Set up an indoor play area for your puppy or dog so they can have fun running around and playing with toys when it's too cold outside. This will keep them from getting bored while they wait for the sun to come out again!
Give your dog CBD honey if they suffer from anxiety due to poor weather conditions (or separation anxiety). It works just as well as other medicines but is much more natural and safe than pharmaceuticals.
Conclusion
Before you know it, your pet will enjoy these winter pampering options. You'll be satisfied knowing that your animal is getting the care they need to stay healthy and happy while giving them something fun and exciting to look forward to during this cold season. | eng | b2e7ede1-5bd8-43cc-beb3-942f50efd1be | https://dogsvets.com/unique-ways-to-pamper-your-pet/ |
movie thoughts … Elysium
Or maybe it was because on the surface it seemed like an intriguing concept, mingling life in space with current income inequality issues that we face today.
It might still be an intriguing concept if somebody wants to write an actual movie about this dystopian, impoverished planet and why all of the well-to-do folks decided to leave the lesser folks behind in favor of living in a giant space station in orbit … at least it seems like the opportunity to do so should still be there because *I* certainly didn't see anything in resemblance to a plot in this 109-minute waste of my time this evening!
So many unanswered questions…
Why did the rich folks build Elysium? And seriously, a little more context then "to preserve their way of life" … like, what happenedthat made Earth such a shit hole that they all wanted to leave???
And once they left, why didn't they all just, errrr, leave for good and never look back?! What's the point of them hanging around out in orbit, just begging the lesser folk to try to sneak in so that they can send them back home to build more robots for the sake of policing … themselves???
If the rich folks could build these sweet med pods that can heal anything and everything in a matter of seconds, are they just gigantic dicks for not wanting to share that technology with the rest of the population? I mean, I've got to figure that the kind of healing capabilities that they commanded should've been able to turn around a destitute civilization in no time flat.
And if illegal immigrants are such a concern, why doesn't Elysium just blast every unauthorized approaching ship with missiles and call it a day? How much legitimate traffic can really be going back and forth between shit hole and utopia that they can't have a more automated defense system?
And lastly, for the sake of there being a lastly, does Elysium have no backup plan if their computer systems – that seem to run everything – somehow find themselves compromised?! Literally it's just hacker … blah blah blah … reboot the system … lights go out, then come back on … then no more exclusion – everybody is now welcome, even though we don't have the houses or the resources and you all still smell kinda funky!
I feel like the way this movie got created was that somebody sat down with a legal pad and scribbled "rich people in space, poor people on Earth" at the top, and then maybe got up to go use the bathroom or something, and while he was gone somebody turned those eight words into the entire movie. 😕 | eng | d914711a-7933-4af7-afa9-aecbb43db9c3 | https://scottsevener.com/blog/2013/movie-thoughts-elysium/ |
Emotions and types of emotional responses
Emotions are a paradoxical experience of consciousness, bodily sensation, and behavior that reflects the personal importance of a thing, an event, or any state of affairs.
These body responses are a subjective state of mind. Emotions can be the response to internal stimuli (such as thinking or linked memories), and they could have events that occur in one's environment.
Emotions are not the same feeling as mood. A mood is a specific state of mind that motivates us to react in a certain way. For instance, someone in a low or bad mood is more likely to feel irritated when they slide on a rock. Conversely, someone in a good or high mood is more likely to feel amused by any incident. In general, emotions are reactions to an event, while moods are present before and throughout the event.
Our emotions by themselves are neither good nor bad; they are dependent on other factors. They are simply reactions. However, the way we act on our emotions can strongly affect our well-being.
The Six Types of Emotions:
During the 1970s, psychologist Paul Eckman identified six basic emotions universally experienced in all human cultures. The feelings he identified were happiness, disgust, fear, sadness, surprise, & anger. He further expanded his list of basic emotions, including Pride, Shame, Embarrassment, and Excitement.
Happiness
Of all emotions, it tends to be the one that everyone strives for the most and to the fullest. It defines as a pleasant emotional state characterized by feelings of contentment, joy, gratification, satisfaction, and well-being.
This nature of emotion is sometimes expressed through:
Facial expressions: such as smiling face.
Body language: such as a relaxed stance uttered by the person
Tone of voice: an upbeat and pleasant way of speaking
Sadness
Sadness is another type of emotion defined as a transient emotional state characterized by disappointment, hopelessness, disinterest, grief, including dampened moods.
Like other emotions, it is something that all people experience from time to time. In some examples, people can experience prolonged and severe periods of sadness that can turn into depression. We can express such feelings as sadness in several ways. Some of them mentioned below
Crying
Dampened mood
Lethargy
Quietness
Withdrawal from others
Fear
It is a powerful emotion that can also play an essential role in survival. When you face danger & experience fear, you pass through the fight or flighting responses.
Our muscles become tense, our heart rate and respiration increase, and our mind become more alert, priming our body to either run from the danger or stand & fight.
This response helps guarantee that you are prepared to deal with threats in your environment effectively. Expressions of this sort of emotions can include:
Facial expressions: such as widening both eyes and pulling back your chin.
Body language: attempts to hide and flee from any threat
Physiological reactions: such as fast breathing and heartbeat
Disgust
It is another of the original six basic emotions described by Eckman. Disgust can be displayed in several ways, including:
Body language: turning away from any object of disgust
Physical reactions: such as vomiting and retching
Facial expressions: such as wrinkling the nose & curling the upper lip
Anger
Anger can be a compelling emotion characterized by feelings of agitation, frustration, hostility, & antagonism. But, like fear, anger can also play a part in your body's fight or flighting responses.
When a threat produces feelings of anger, you may be inclined to fend off the danger and protect yourself. We see anger through:
Facial expressions: such as frowning or glaring
Body language: such as taking a solid attitude or turning away
Tone of voice: such as speaking gruffly and yelling.
Physiological responses: such as sweating and turning chili red.
Aggressive behaviors: such as kicking, hitting, or throwing objects
Surprise
It is another one of the six basic types of human emotions originally described by Eckman. Surprise is usually relatively brief. It is a physiological startle response following something purely unexpected.
These sorts of emotions can be positive, negative, or even sometimes neutral. | eng | 81a3a13c-2b0a-4065-aac3-2e05530c1325 | https://soulwhale.com/emotions-and-emotional-responses/ |

Image Change Script
Question: I am trying to get an image change script to be downward compatible, but Internet Explorer 3.0 does not recognize MouseOvers. Is there another way to do an image change script? I had heard something about onClick, but I am not familiar with it. Would it work, and if so, how? Thanks.
Greg Davis
Answer: Greg,
Unfortunately, you're out of luck. IE 3 does not support DHTML in the way IE 4 does. You can try to use an alternate technology like Macromedia's Flash or mBed's Interactor. However, this is a sub-optimal solution. The best way to go is to author for version 4 browsers but with a fall-back for those still on version 3 and below–for example, non-changing images | eng | 5f2251cb-cbb9-4b08-90f0-b0fbd5990017 | https://www.devx.com/tip-bank/23969/ |
The National Christmas Tree is often measured in numbers. Over 13,000 feet (or 2.5 miles) of lights strung end-to-end, 63,750 individual LED bulbs, and 400+ ornaments. This season's ceremony commemorates another number – the 100th lighting of the National Christmas Tree.
Part of the Subaru-funded Don't Feed the Landfills Initiative, Yosemite's composting and fuel cylinder diversion and recycling programs have grown tremendously over the last year. One woman, Tina Moseley, leads the charge.
By donating to the National Park Foundation, you support programs like these that help ensure that iconic species have the best chance of survival across their native environments, and that the lands and waters set aside within the National Park System remain an abundant resource, promoting ecological diversity throughout our parks. | eng | b4811dca-f3b6-482c-a178-9c108147069b | https://www.nationalparks.org/stories |

New World Trade Organization (WTO) paper explores linkages between trade and the spread of diseases of animal origin
November 5, 2020

Adult Male Health
Do you know the top male health threats? The list is surprisingly short — including heart disease, cancer and sexual dysfunctions. Thankfully, most men's health threats are largely preventable. Make healthy lifestyle choices, such as eating a healthy diet and including physical activity in your daily routine.
It's also important to manage risky behavior, such as drinking too much and engaging in casual sex. Of course, common-sense precautions — such as using safety ladders and wearing a seat belt — count, too.
As you get older, your adult male health concerns are likely to change. Could a beer gut lead to health problems? Is male menopause a myth or a true men's health issue? Could testosterone therapy help you feel young again? Get answers to these and other men's health questions.
Health of Aging Men
As men age, their bodies undergo various changes that can impact their health and well-being. It is important for men over the age of 40 to prioritize their health and seek proper healthcare to address any concerns that may arise. In this section, we will cover the most vital aspects of taking care of men's health after 40, including sexual health, sex life, erectile dysfunctions, libido problems, low testosterone levels, sperm production, fertility, and penile curvature.
Aspects of adult male health
Sexual health is an important aspect of men's overall health and well-being. As men age, their sexual function may decline due to a variety of factors, such as chronic health conditions, medication side effects, and hormonal changes. It is important to discuss any concerns or changes in sexual function with a healthcare provider to identify and address underlying causes.
Erectile dysfunction is a common issue for men over 40. It occurs when a man has difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection during sexual activity. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including chronic health conditions, medication side effects, and hormonal imbalances. Treatment options for erectile dysfunction may include medication, lifestyle changes, or surgery.
Libido problems are also common in men over 40. Decreased libido, or sex drive, can be caused by a variety of factors, including chronic health conditions, medication side effects, and hormonal imbalances. It is important to discuss any concerns about libido with a healthcare provider to identify and address underlying causes.
Low testosterone levels are a common issue for men over 40. Testosterone is a hormone that plays a crucial role in men's sexual function, as well as their overall health and well-being. Low testosterone levels can cause a variety of symptoms, including decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, fatigue, and depression. Treatment options for low testosterone levels may include hormone replacement therapy or lifestyle changes.
Sperm production and fertility are important aspects of men's health after 40, particularly for men who are trying to conceive. Sperm production can decline as men age, which can impact fertility. It is important to discuss any concerns about sperm production or fertility with a healthcare provider to identify and address underlying causes.
Penile curvature is a condition where the penis is abnormally curved during an erection. This can be caused by a variety of factors, including scar tissue, Peyronie's disease, or other underlying health conditions. Treatment options for penile curvature may include medication, surgery, or other interventions.
How to Take Care of Men's Health After 40?
Taking care of men's health after 40 involves a combination of preventative measures and self-care habits. One important step is to schedule regular check-ups with a healthcare provider. During these check-ups, your healthcare provider can screen for chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, and provide guidance on managing any existing health concerns.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is also crucial for men's health after 40. This includes eating a healthy diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein sources, and limiting processed and high-fat foods. Regular exercise is also important for maintaining optimal physical and mental health. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic exercise per week, along with strength training exercises that target major muscle groups at least two days per week.
Getting enough sleep is also crucial for men's health after 40. Aim for seven to nine hours of sleep per night, and establish a consistent sleep schedule to promote healthy sleep habits. Additionally, managing stress is important for overall health and well-being. Consider incorporating stress-reducing activities into your daily routine, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or yoga.
In addition to these lifestyle habits, there are several preventative measures that men can take to maintain their health after 40. These may include getting recommended screenings and vaccinations, such as a colonoscopy, prostate cancer screening, or flu shot. It is also important to practice safe sex to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted infections.
Finally, men should prioritize their mental health by seeking help if they are experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, or other mental health conditions. This may involve talking to a healthcare provider, therapist, or counselor, and seeking support from friends and family.
Summary
Taking care of men's health after 40 is crucial for optimal health and well-being. This includes addressing sexual health concerns, such as erectile dysfunction, libido problems, low testosterone levels, sperm production, fertility, and penile curvature. By seeking proper healthcare and addressing any underlying health concerns, men can maintain a happy and healthy sex life well into their golden years.

How To Save The Frogs? Add Some Salt
A study from the University of Newcastle in Australia suggests that simple sea salt could protect amphibians from the ongoing decimation caused by infections of the chytrid fungus.
Unknown to science until 1998, chytridiomycosis – the disease caused by the microscopic, parasitic fungi Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd) – is now known to be a huge contributor to the alarming worldwide decline in amphibian species that began in the 1950s. Given that the moisture-loving fungal species has existed for some time, the cause of the recent pandemic remains mysterious, though climate change and human-led environmental alterations have been strongly implicated.

"Chytrid disease is incredibly prevalent worldwide. It has devastated frog populations in Australia, the Americas, Africa and Europe," said lead researcher Dr Simon Clulow in a statement. "In fact, it's easier to say where chytrid isn't found as the only major climatically suitable landmass left on Earth where it hasn't been detected is New Guinea."
After the free-swimming spores of Bd have been introduced into a new aquatic or damp forest ecosystem, they seek out and burrow into the skin of a frog or salamander. Once embedded, the growing fungal fibers disrupt the amphibian skin's ability to uptake electrolytes, leading ultimately to heart failure. Dozens of species have already gone extinct and more than 6,000 species are known to be susceptible.
Thus far, biologists have struggled to identify effective methods for containing the disease that can actually be applied on a large scale. According to the paper by Dr Cudlow and his co-authors, published in the Journal of Applied Ecology, experts have been toying with a new proposition – alter the environment just enough to give the amphibians a shot at success without compromising the health of the other life forms.
When looking for options that fit these difficult criteria, the team reviewed past studies on chytridiomycosis outbreaks. Several had observed that amphibian populations living in slightly more saline habitats fare better, leading to an intriguing possibility: Could the recipe for saving frogs be as simple as adding a pinch of salt?
To test their theory, the researchers turned to the green and golden bell frog, a threatened species native to eastern Australia that has gone extinct in 90 percent of its range thanks to chytridiomycosis.
A group of 10 juvenile frogs infected with Bd and a group of 18 non-infected frogs were each put into one of 16 artificial outdoor "pond" environments containing either high or low salinity water (4 parts per thousand vs 0-1 ppt) that fell within the safe range for the species.
After 23 weeks in the experimental ponds, the frogs initially free from Bd infections that were released into high-salinity ponds had a 77 percent greater survival rate than those living in low-salinity conditions. Sadly, frogs who already harbored fungal infections showed poor survival rates in both saline conditions.
The results indicate that a high-saline environment can't cure an existing chytridiomycosis outbreak, but it may be able to save future generations of amphibians by preventing Bd transmission.

"This treatment requires the use of simple pool salt, which is very affordable and easy to access. This overcomes many initial hurdles, particularly in majority world countries where resources are scarce and so many species are at risk," said Dr Clulow.
A conservation program for an endangered Ecuadorian frog has been chosen to test whether altering saline levels will work in a natural environment.
"If we can show that this works just as well on the other side of the globe, it should provide further proof of concept that this strategy could help declining frogs everywhere." | eng | bbe7cefb-3f0d-4753-9285-14396f46629c | https://www.iflscience.com/how-to-save-the-frogs-add-some-salt-45952 |
What are the benefits of effective communication skills?
1. Improves relationships – A great communicator can make others feel that they are being heard. Paying attention to what people are saying, offering constructive criticism, and honest feedback can help you develop your relationships in both your personal as well as professional life.
This also allows people to communicate through conflicts and come out even stronger. With effective communication skills, you can mitigate conflicts in workspace and even in your personal life. This helps you understand others' expectations of you.
2. Gives job satisfaction – An employee is more likely to report higher job satisfaction if they feel trusted and respected by their coworkers. Efficient communication helps you develop an open-minded attitude. This is important while working in a community since you work with people having different beliefs and views.
Additionally, you get to work with clarity which will help you work efficiently by understanding your employer's expectations of you.
3. Boosts productivity – Understanding is ensured via clear communication. In other words, you can often notice that employees do not have clarity where there is a lack of efficient communication. They just cannot fully comprehend their responsibilities or the expectations of the firm.
4. Fewer conflicts – Conflict resolution and the averting of future ones are both greatly aided by efficient communication. To avoid miscommunication and disagreement, we must be open with one another. This can be achieved by keeping cool, making sure that all sides are heard, and coming up with a solution that works best for everyone.
5. Fosters a collaborative environment – Trust and communication are essential for ensuring that everyone in the team is aware of the expectations and responsibilities of the group, whether this involves assigning tasks to different team members or making sure one person knows they are responsible for them.
In order to make the greatest judgments for your team or company, you must be able to listen to others, explore ideas and viewpoints, and engage in discourse. The more open communication there is within your team, the better the working environment will be for your employees.
6. Provides clarity in a workspace – You can provide your staff with clear expectations and goals if you have good communication skills. This entails coming up with effective ways to point out when something isn't working and offering constructive criticism to help individuals get back on track. They will be aware of their individual duties and responsibilities as well as those of their teammates, reducing misunderstandings and confrontations.
How to improve your communication skills?
Now that we know about the perks of having effective communication skills let us learn more about different ways in which we can improve our communication skills.
1. Be a good listener – We all want to be heard. Thus the most important way of maintaining sound communication is by practicing listening. Instead of focusing on what to say next, pay close attention to what the other person has to say.
Additionally, one communication at a time is important. This means that you shouldn't send a text message or reply to an email while you are on the phone with someone. This will make the other person perceive as they do not have your complete attention.
2. Have an assertive tone – How you express your thoughts is as important as what you say. Your tone, like other nonverbal cues, can either strengthen and emphasize your message or completely detract from it. When there is a dispute or disagreement at work, tone can be a particularly significant element. A badly chosen term with ambiguous or unfavorable meanings can cause misunderstandings very quickly.
Thus it is important that you understand exactly what tone is. The tone in speech refers to the voice modulation and the selection of words while speaking. Make sure that you use appropriate words to avoid any misunderstandings.
3. Avoid making assumptions – It's practically an invitation for an argument if you start the conversation by blaming them for something. When we are accused, we naturally become defensive, and that conversation has no positive outcomes.
Making assumptions is the root cause of miscommunication. It can lead to conflicts and misunderstandings. In this case, the active listening paradigm can save the day. Excellent communication skills depend heavily on empathy or making an effort to understand what the other person is thinking. You can also repeat back what they want to completely understand that you both are on the same page.
Also, make sure to get honest feedback. You can gain a better understanding of how you come across while communicating by asking for suggestions on how to improve your communication skills. Develop openness to hearing different perspectives so you may build stronger bonds and enhance your communication skills.
5. Be precise – Keep your communication brief without sacrificing its significance. The majority of misunderstandings occur when there is an abundance of unnecessary information. This will help others understand your needs and what you expect from them.
Maintain eye contact with people. It will persuade them of the importance of what you are saying to them and inspire them to respond in kind. To communicate more effectively, you must match your body language to the words you speak.
Conclusion
Developing effective communication skills is essential in today's time. This will help you function efficiently. However, it is never too late to start developing these skills. If you wish to polish your communication skills and be able to express your thoughts distinctly, then you can join various communication skills-enhancing training programs.

Two of Pittsburghers' favorite things, beef and beer, are the biggest sources of planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions in the local food system, according to a new study by a team of 19 Carnegie Mellon students.
The study found that Allegheny County's entire food system produces 3.7 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year, with each person responsible for 3.1 tons — equivalent to each of us driving 7,600 miles in a car.
The food system includes everything that gets food from the farm to the table, such as production, packaging, transportation, distribution, refrigeration and food waste going to landfills.
"What we tried to do for the first time is to put together an overall picture to give policymakers an idea of where the biggest impacts are, and where actions to change the system could be beneficial," says Ed Rubin, a professor of engineering and public policy at CMU and faculty advisor for the project.
"We couldn't find any other major metropolitan areas that had done something like this," says Rubin.
By weight, beer was the single most consumed food product in the county, representing 29% of of the total. Beef represented less than 3% of total food consumed, but 34% of all greenhouse gas emissions, by far the largest source. Beer was second at 10%.
"Emissions associated with most meat products, and especially beef, are roughly ten times higher than the equivalent weight of vegetables," explains Rubin.
Feeding cows is very energy-intensive, and of course cows also produce methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.

In other areas, the study found that Pittsburghers consume 73% of their food at home, and 27% at food service locations like restaurants and cafeterias.
The project was a massive undertaking, and involved 19 students, two project managers, two faculty advisors and an expert review panel that included city government officials, local nonprofits and supply chain experts.
What stands out in the things we can control? "One is the effect of changes in diet," says Rubin. "Meat products, and beef in particular, are far greater generators of greenhouse gas emissions than other types of meats and seafood, and especially vegetables. Any significant shift away from meat and towards vegetables and fruits can have a significant impact."
Food waste is another major source of greenhouse gases in the food system. About 370,000 tons of food end up in the trash each year in Allegheny County. There are greenhouse gas emissions embodied in this wasted food, as well as further emissions in trucking it to the landfill. When it decomposes, it also emits greenhouse gases.
"One of the surprising numbers for me is how much food is wasted," says Rubin, who says it's close to 30% of all food in Allegheny County. "Reduction in food waste is the second-most significant way in which local action could reduce carbon footprints."
"Think about refrigerators," notes Rubin. "A lot of our food supply requires refrigeration to keep from spoiling and the major energy source is electricity. A lot of our electricity still comes from burning fossil fuels in power plants that supply electricity."
He adds, "The students found that many of the refrigerators that are used in homes and restaurants are not nearly as efficient as newer models. Actions to modernize equipment can go a long way towards reducing that energy consumption | eng | c00d4967-44a3-477f-b98f-57fa874dc784 | https://nextpittsburgh.com/latest-news/beef-and-beer-are-the-biggest-greenhouse-gas-emitters-in-pittsburghs-food-system-says-study/ |
Vaccinations
Vaccinations are an essential part of preventive care for dogs and cats. Vaccines work by stimulating the immune system to produce antibodies that can protect against specific infectious diseases.
Common vaccines for dogs include those for distemper, parvovirus, hepatitis, and rabies.
For cats, vaccines are available for diseases such as feline herpesvirus, calicivirus, and panleukopenia, as well as rabies.
The specific vaccines your pet needs will depend on their age, lifestyle, and risk of exposure. Your veterinarian can help determine which vaccines are appropriate for your pet and create a customized vaccination schedule. | eng | 0eb67d4b-bbd6-4805-84dd-b2a24a5ebae1 | https://www.tendercarevetcenter.com/services/vaccinations |

Game Stages
Game Stages provides a framework for creating modpack progression systems in Minecraft. These progression systems are built using stages which are named true/false flags which are stored on a per-player basis. Stages are not linear and have no implicit connection or dependency on each other.
Game stages only provides the framework for handling stage data. It saves the data, it synchronizes it with clients, and it provides commands that can be used to interact with the data. It does not alter game mechanics or interpret what stage flags are meant to do. This functionality is provided through Game Stage addon mods.
Addons
Other mods can hook into Game Stages and use a player's stage data to change how certain mechanics work. These addons and their mechanics provide the tools that modpack authors use to build their progression systems.
FaQ
How do I give players a stage?
This mod provides the /gamestage add @p stagename command which will give a player a stage. These commands can be used in command blocks, functions, advancements, signs, books, etc. Many mods will also allow you to run a command when a player does something. Keep in mind the @p is substituted to be the current player.
How do I stage a recipe/block/item?
Game Stages does not provide the actual progression mechanics. You will need to use addons such as ItemStages to do these things.
Maven Dependency
If you are using Gradle to manage your dependencies, add the following into your build.gradle file. Make sure to replace the version with the correct one. All versions can be viewed here. | eng | f9edf324-39f6-492a-81de-1c693a23c3f2 | https://www.opensourceagenda.com/projects/game-stages |

"If anything, I think people are even avoiding the term MMO," Pardo said. "A really good example is Destiny. It clearly is an MMO. But they're really trying to avoid calling it that, and obviously it is a very different type of game. But I think that's a good example of how with MMOs, the term has been eliminated. But you kind of continue to see the influence in games that are persistent world games that have spawned out of that. It's just people seem to avoid the term MMO now."
Pardo also affirmed that Blizzard hasn't given up on MMOs, even though the studio canceled Titan last year. "I think there's still a big belief within Blizzard that MMOs are a great genre to be in," he commented, going on to say that WoW's success meant that the studio kept more people on that team instead of farming them out to Titan and other projects. | eng | 420163a1-48ff-4659-9880-e5d54273e91d | https://massivelyop.com/2015/08/03/ex-wow-lead-rob-pardo-says-industry-devs-are-avoiding-the-mmo-label/ |

How To Use Virtual Machines for Cross Browser Testing of a Web Application
Arnab Roy Chowdhury
How To Use Virtual Machines for Cross Browser Testing of a Web Application
Working in IT, we have often heard the term Virtual Machines. Developers working on client machines have used VMs to do the necessary stuffs at the client machines. Virtual machines are an environment or an operating system which when installed on a workstation, simulates an actual hardware. The person using the virtual machine gets the same experience as they would have on that dedicated system. Before moving on to how to setup virtual machine in your system, let's discuss why it is used.
Use of Virtual Machine
Apart from testing an application in multiple devices or working on a remote system, virtual machines have several other uses. Let's discuss what are those.
Often a developer may need to work on multiple operating system. For example, if only one workstation is available, and a person needs to work on both windows as well as Linux, Virtual machine is the best option available.
Suppose you are having Windows 10 installed in your system. If you need to test an application that only runs on Windows XP or 7, the only choice is to use virtual machine instead of downgrading your operating system.
A preferable way to test a complex software is by using virtual machine because if your software crashes while testing, the primary and secondary memory of your hardware remains unaffected.
If you want to leave your laptop at home and work from other location, the only choice is to install VM at the workstation and connect your laptop from there. Remote Desktop Protocol can even allow you to access your workstation from your mobile device.
How to Install Virtual Machine
In this article we shall discuss the steps to install Virtualbox, a virtual machine interface developed by Oracle. It is free to use and one of the most popular VMs used by developers in today's world.
You will need an ISO file of the operating system that you are going to install on your VM.
After launching Virtualbox, an empty welcome menu will be presented to you.
Once you click on the New icon, you will be prompted to name the VM and select its type. You can choose Linux, BSD, IBM OS, Solaris and also Mac OS from a list of available items in the dropdown.
In the next step you will need to allocate a physical memory size to your VM. A recommended suggestion is to go with the memory size recommended by your VM.
You will be asked if you want to allocate a virtual drive to your VM. Once you have done that, click the Create button. You will get a menu with a list containing the hard disk file types. Select VDI, name the drive and confirm its memory size. Click on Create and the process will be completed.
Your virtual drive now being created, its time to install the operating system. Click on the Start arrow and browse to the folder where your ISO is located.
Select the ISO, and click on Start to begin the installation of the operating system on your virtual machine.
Installing the operating system will take some time. Once that is done, you can open it and use it just like a normal computer with a different operating system.
How to Perform Cross Browser Testing on Virtual Machine
For a tester who works on testing Web Applications, Virtual machine acts as a boon since it allows the user to emulate different environment for testing an application.
If you have different versions of Windows installed in your VMs, install all the major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, IE and Microsoft Edge.
For Linux, browser differences are not that much noticeable. All the commonly used browsers in Windows work perfectly in Linux machines.
Challenge arrives when you have to test an application in MacOS. Web applications that run perfectly in Windows specific browsers are often observed to render incorrectly in Mac browsers like Safari. To make your website accessible for Mac users, it is important to create a virtual Mac environment in your workstation and test your web application there as well.
Virtual Machine is available on the cloud as well. It is not necessary to install it on your workstation only. LambdaTest is a great solution that provides virtual macOS online for cross browser testing by providing a virtual environment on the cloud where you can test your application across different browsers in different operating systems.
Limitations of Virtual Machine
No matter how much reliable they are, limitations of any new technology is always persistent.
The biggest disadvantage of a virtual machines is the slower speed. Based on the number of virtual machines installed in your system and memory allocated to them, often you may find certain processes executing quite slowly than expected.
Certain hardware features are only utilizable when used in native machines. Those features should be considered while running a test on your VM.
Virtual machines are highly advantageous for executing automated tests for your web applications. Using VM, you can simultaneously run your test scripts across different environments in a single workstation. In that case, the browsers become completely isolated from one another and the test results are flawless and reliable. By going through the points stated above, it can be concluded that virtual system is the best solution for cross browser testing in the different environment instead of testing cross browser compatibility of a website in different operating systems in physical machines.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

60-year-old company shows off star tracker at Small Sat
For functional demonstrations, the 200g Auriga-CP star tracker was mounted on a tripod at Sodern's vendor booth.
Sodern, a space instrumentation company based in Paris, France, is celebrating their 60th anniversary this year. At Small Sat they displayed their newest star tracker, the Auriga-CP. A 200g instrument that attaches to small satellites. Among other vendor booths at the USU fieldhouse, business communication officer, Axelle, explained the function of star trackers on small satellites.
"It's like a GPS, like in your car. You're driving and you need to go to a direction, so you need your GPS, if you don't know the road," Axelle said.
According to Axelle, most satellites contain internal mechanisms that allow them to be remotely oriented in space. However, to properly orient a satellite towards, for example, the earth, or towards a distant star of interest, scientists on the ground must first know the orientation of the satellite in its current position.
"Star trackers enable satellites to orient themselves in space just by looking at the stars. Just like ancient travelers did before," said Axelle.
Product manager Jerome Reecht said Auriga-CP is designed to identify unique clusters of stars.
"Basically we take a picture of the sky, identify your pattern of stars, and then compare it to a library," Reecht said.
According to Reecht the star tracker pattern recognizes not just the spatial pattern of stars, but also their varying light intensities to decide what part of the sky the satellite is viewing in that moment.
Satellites are often spinning, a technical term called tumbling. Reecht says that their tracker can pattern recognize the stars even when tumbling at high speeds. Additionally, the Auriga-CP can regain tracking within 4 seconds of being subjected to bright intensity light, like the Sun.

Compound exercises like squats, deadlifts and planks engage multiple muscle groups, promoting a balanced and sculpted midsection. While some belly fat burner supplements incorporate ingredients like caffeine, green tea extract and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) that have shown potential to aid weight loss, they are not magic pills.
Results vary greatly from person to person and these supplements should never replace a healthy diet and regular exercise. Consulting with a healthcare professional before introducing any supplements is imperative, as certain ingredients might interact with existing health conditions or medications. Ultimately, achieving a dream midsection necessitates commitment, consistency and a holistic approach.

Once total Price is calculated with the normal AIF procedure and the contract rules specified (CNCT, CNSR, CNSU…), special taxes must be applied by using the new structure [ATAX].
In order to determine the taxes that apply over the final price generated, you must apply the first record of every tax type that verifies the following application criteria:
Room code in tax is empty or is the same as the room code that is valuating.
Board code in tax is empty or is the same as the board code that is valuating.
Stay period of the booking must be included in the period defined by initial date and final date from ATAX structure.
NOTE 1: Application order is already included in ATAX structure, this is, first line is the first tax you must apply, second line is the second tax to apply … Remember that only first record of every tax type must be applied.
NOTE 2: If there are 2 (or more) taxes with the same code but different age range, and paxes in the booking comply both, then both taxes must be applied, as the age range do them different. In the same way, if there are 2 taxes with the same code and different age range (first from 10 to 20 and second from 21 to 30) and the pax in the booking is 25 years old, the second tax must be applied (that comply the conditions) and dismiss the first one.
NOTE 3: The way to calculate included taxes (except for Canadian taxes) is the following: (ServiceAmount/(1+TaxRate/100))*TaxRate/100
Example:
ServiceAmount: 139.47
Tax: 14.42%
Based on the formula above, the way to calculate included taxes would be the following:
((139.47/(1+0.1442))*0.1442)=17.58
NOTE 4: For Canadian taxes, the calculation is different even if they are included in the price too.
The formula is the following: (ServiceAmount*TaxRate)/(100+TotalTaxRate), where TaxRate is the percentage/amount of the single tax and TotalTaxRate is the sum of all the Canadian TaxRates available for the availability requested.
The way to know if taxes in ATAX section are Canadian taxes or not is by checking if they have legal description or not.
Calculation of tax must be done over Net price. For doing that it is necessary you complete the calculation for the net price and apply the tax over the total net price (above in red).
Once you have the total net price (net price, board supplements, general supplements…), it is necessary to apply the tax percentage and sum it to the total price you would get previously for the binding (Price in blue).
Please remember that the valuation process is composed by:
1. Calculate the base price
2. Calculate the board supplement and discount
3. Calculate the occupancy supplements and discounts
Child
Additional bed
Individual use
4. Calculate the general supplements and discounts
5. Calculate the frees
6. Check the combinable supplements and discounts
7. Calculate the handling fees
8. Apply taxes
So it is necessary you complete this calculation BEFORE applying any tax.
Amounts must be grouped bearing in mind the columns: Maximum number of nights, Minimum age, Is per night and Is per pax for doing the calculation.
The way to calculate the amount bearing in mind every case is the following:
Maximum number of nights: Informs about the maximum number of nights that tax amount must be applied.
Minimum age and maximum age: Tax must only apply on the paxes aged between these 2 fields.
Is per night: Indicates if tax must be applied per every night in the stay or per whole stay (just once).
Is per pax: Indicates if tax must be applied for every pax in the room or per room (just once). | eng | 4b23e98f-54ad-479e-bf9a-d43f0c5671d8 | https://developer.hotelbeds.com/documentation/hotels/cache-api/internal-inventory-process/tax-breakdown/ |
How AI will Disrupt the Insurance Industry
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more sophisticated, businesses are increasingly adopting the technology to streamline processes and improve efficiency. One area poised to be revolutionized by AI is the car insurance industry.
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more sophisticated, businesses are increasingly adopting the technology to streamline processes and improve efficiency. One area poised to be revolutionized by AI is the car insurance industry.
AI is revolutionizing the industry, offering more personalized services and better fraud detection, along with overall improved efficiency. Down the road, expect further disruption in this sector as insurers take advantage of AI to offer better services and lower costs.
AI is changing the way insurers interact with customers. Automated chatbots are now used to respond to customer inquiries, provide personalized recommendations, and even help customers find the best insurance policy for their needs. AI also enables insurers to streamline their processes and increase efficiency. Automated systems can quickly and accurately assess the risk of a claim, process payments, and provide customers with personalized recommendations.
AI has improved fraud detection. By using AI to analyze data from customer activities, insurers can detect suspicious activities more quickly and accurately, reducing the chances of fraudulent claims.
Finally, and perhaps more importantly, AI enables auto insurers to offer their customers more personalized and tailored services. Because the technology can quickly analyze large amounts of data, insurers can make more accurate risk assessments and calculate premiums more accurately. This translates to more affordable rates based on each customer's individual needs and risk profile.
At Streetscope, we use AI in many steps of our toolchain. From object detection to pattern recognition and beyond, our engineered solution leverages many of the latest developments. AI aids us in detecting and assessing traffic safety in context, taking advantage of new tools (soon to include computing on-the-edge) to provide insurers and vehicle developers with an objective measure of risk. While some are afraid of new technologies, we believe there's no better use of new technology than to improve (and even save) lives. | eng | d4b2e01f-94fc-4637-8b94-4f409f81c519 | https://www.streetscope.com/news/how-ai-will-disrupt-the-insurance-industry |

What is a web server and how to choose it
What is a Server
The term "server" can be a bit complex, as it applies to various fields.
It can refer to Hardware, Software, or both working together.
When referring to Hardware, it speaks of the devices that contain information.
When we talk about Software, we refer to the programs that manage the same information stored on these devices.
Any computing equipment capable of storing information and running the software to manage it can be a physical server (hardware).
How Does a Web Server Work
Web server software is accessed through the domain names of websites and ensures the delivery of site content to the user requesting it. The software side also consists of several components, with at least one HTTP server. The HTTP server can understand HTTP and URLs. In terms of hardware, a web server is a computer that stores the web server software and other files related to a website, such as HTML documents, images, and JavaScript files.
When a web browser, like Google Chrome or Firefox, needs a file hosted on a web server, the browser will request the file via HTTP. When the request is received by the web server, the HTTP server will accept the request, find the content, and send it back to the browser via HTTP.
More specifically, when a browser requests a page from a web server, the process follows a series of steps. First, a person will specify a URL in the web browser's address bar. Then, the web browser will obtain the IP address of the domain name, either by translating the URL through DNS (Domain Name System) or by looking in its cache. This will lead the browser to a web server. The browser then requests the specific file from the web server via an HTTP request. The web server will respond by sending the requested page back to the browser, again, via HTTP. If the requested page does not exist or if something goes wrong, the web server will respond with an error message. The browser can then display the web page.
Multiple domains can also be hosted on a single web server.
Examples of Web Server Uses
Web servers often come as part of a broader package of Internet and intranet-related programs used for:
Sending and receiving emails.
Downloading file requests using File Transfer Protocol (FTP).
Building and publishing web pages.
Many basic web servers also support server-side scripting, used to employ scripts on a web server that can personalize the client's response. Server-side scripting runs on the server machine and typically has a broad set of functions, including database access. The server-side scripting process will also use Active Server Pages (ASP), Hypertext Preprocessor (PHP), and other scripting languages. This process also allows for the dynamic creation of HTML documents.
Depending on the size and complexity of the information to be managed, one must have either a local physical server or a remote one. This decision should be made by an expert. If opting for a physical server, it's important to remember that it will also require an expert to choose it according to the needs, install it, maintain it, and respond to the multiple requirements involved in having it.
However, it is increasingly easier to have a sufficiently powerful and robust server in the cloud, without incurring the many expenses of having an on-site one.
When considering having a server in the cloud, the key question arises:
How to Choose the Right Server for Me or My Company
The first thing to know is how the existing servers are classified according to the service they provide. This is thanks to the software they have installed.
There are file servers, print servers, proxy servers, backup servers, database servers, among others. But the most common is the one that hosts websites, known as a Web Server or Web HTTP Server.
A web server or HTTP server is a program hosted on a physical server that offers a response to a request from the requester's side, whom we can call a client; or vice versa, making bidirectional or unidirectional connections. This can be done in any language or application. The code received by the client is rendered by a web browser. This transmission follows a protocol that is usually HTTP (hence the name HTTP Server).
In simpler terms, when we perform a search on the Internet, our browser extracts information from external servers, where websites we can visit are hosted. This information, hosted there, is translated into a simple language by that same browser and is what we see on our device (computer, laptop, cellphone, tablet, etc.)
Now, being us who will offer the information, it is very important to know which web server to choose to host our website, our services, or our information.
There are thousands of offers on the net talking about free hosting or very low-cost hosting. Hosting is nothing more than the option of hosting our information (in the form of a website, for example) on a server that is not ours.
However, these options, which at first may seem very captivating due to being cheap, can turn out to be very costly, as the service they offer is not very robust.
Firstly, a server requires continuous maintenance. For a website to be available 24/7 and fully fulfill its function as a permanent virtual branch, the place where it is hosted must always be available. In addition, it must be secure. It's possible that digital pirates could take our information stored there, including our clients' information, and ask for its release in exchange for something, like money, for example.
There are also people who do it just to demonstrate their computer skills. Or to sell through other means. In any case, security is essential and must be preserved by professionals who spare no expense in this service.
Finally, there is support. Free hosting sites are places that have a huge flow of customers, so they do not have permanent or personalized customer service lines, and their responses to difficulties with the sites are, in most cases, generic or from frustrating pre-programmed bots. In addition, in the fine print of their contracts, in many cases, they are free from any responsibility that may go beyond the basic part of the service.
Common Servers in the Market
There are several common web servers available, including:
1. Apache HTTP Server
Apache HTTP Server, developed by the Apache Foundation, is one of the most popular web server software globally. It's highly admired for its versatility, robustness, and performance. Apache supports a variety of features, many implemented as compiled modules which extend its core functionality. These capabilities include server-side programming language support, authentication schemes, SSL and TLS support, URL rewriting, custom log files, and filtering support. Its ability to work on a wide range of operating systems makes it highly adaptable for different environments.
2. Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)
Microsoft IIS is an extensible web server created by Microsoft, primarily for use with Microsoft Windows. It is known for its integration with Windows NT-based operating systems and supports various Windows authentication schemes. IIS also offers administrative tools for server management and tools for application development, including ASP.NET. It's known for its security features, including automatic certificate management and integration with Microsoft's ecosystem, making it a preferred choice for Windows-centric environments.
3. Nginx
Nginx, pronounced as "Engine-X," stands out for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption. Unlike traditional servers, Nginx doesn't rely on threads to handle requests. Instead, it uses a much more scalable event-driven (asynchronous) architecture. This architecture makes it extremely efficient and capable of handling thousands of concurrent connections. It's commonly used for load balancing and as a reverse proxy, in addition to being a web server.
4. Lighttpd
Lighttpd is known for its speed and efficiency, designed to combat server load spikes with minimal memory footprint. This makes it an excellent solution for servers suffering from load problems. It offers fast CGI, SCGI, Auth, Output-Compression, URL-Rewriting and many more features, while being optimized for high-performance environments. Lighttpd is an ideal choice for websites that require high performance under tight resource constraints.
5. Sun Java System Web Server
Sun Java System Web Server, from Sun Microsystems, is optimized to deliver high-volume web traffic and is known for its scalability, security, and extensibility. It supports various features like JavaServer Pages (JSP), Java servlets, and Java web services. This server is suitable for both static and dynamic content and is often used in combination with Java-based web applications. It's designed to handle the needs of medium to large-scale websites and enterprise-level web applications.
Each of these servers has unique strengths and capabilities, making them suitable for various uses depending on the specific needs of a website or application.
Considerations for choosing a web server include how it works with the operating system and other servers; its ability to handle server-side programming; security features; and the publishing, searching, and site-building tools that come with it. Web servers can also have different configurations and default settings. To create high performance, a web server with high capacity and low latency will help.
Web Server Security Practices
There are many security practices that people can implement when using a web server to have a safer experience. Some examples of security practices include processes like:
A reverse proxy, designed to hide an internal server and act as an intermediary for traffic originating on an internal server.
Restricting access through processes such as limiting the web host's access to infrastructure machines or using Secure Socket Shell (SSH).
Keeping web servers patched and up-to-date to help ensure that the web server is not vulnerable to vulnerabilities.
Network monitoring to ensure that there is no unauthorized activity.
Utilizing a firewall and SSL, as firewalls can monitor HTTP traffic while having a secure sockets layer (SSL) can help keep data secure. | eng | 286cba49-d8b9-4e25-85b9-91e2a6c3087f | https://dazzet.ca/what-is/web-server/ |

Cucumbers are refreshing summer treats that provide a wealth of vitamins, minerals, and hydration. One of the most widely-grown backyard veggies in the U.S., cucumbers can grow and produce mightily under the right circumstances. Still, if your cucumber leaves are starting to turn yellow, it might be time to examine your growing situation and find out which of your potential pickling produce's needs aren't being met.

Why are my cucumber leaves turning yellow?
According to GardeningVibe, the loss of green coloration could be caused by a loss of chlorophyll, the compound in plants that gives that distinct green color and is essential for converting sunlight into energy. Any loss of chlorophyll is known as chlorosis and it can be a death knell for your cucumber plant.
Article continues below advertisement
The solution can be rectified, of course, but the first step is determining what exactly is causing the chlorosis in the first place. The discoloration could be caused by a number of different factors, which we detail below.
Water problems
Cucumbers can be overwatered, just like any other plant. Cucumbers only need about 1 to 2 inches of water a week. Too much water could lead to oxygen-deprived roots, which, according to GardeningVibe, can cause the leaves to turn yellow or wilt. The problem could be caused by soil drainage, but you can rectify this problem by loosening the soil with sand or growing your cucumbers in raised gardening boxes. Underwatering can also cause wilting, though, so keep that in mind.
Soil problems
Cucumbers are notoriously heavy feeders when it comes to soil nutrients, and according to SFGate, their leaves can turn yellow if they aren't getting enough nitrogen or potassium in their "diet." Nitrogen is an essential nutrient when it comes to plant growth. It encourages foliage growth and is necessary to keep those leaves full, green, and healthy.
Adding nitrogen to the soil could put an end to the yellowing problem, and you can do this by adding some compost, coffee grounds, or other nitrogen-rich fertilizer to the soil. If your leaves are a deep yellow or bronze, then a lack of phosphorus could be the culprit. This sort of deficiency will result in less fruit production, so it won't be hard to miss. If this is the case, try looking for organic fertilizers that are rich in phosphorus.
Article continues below advertisement
Note that either of these deficiencies could point to soil problems all throughout your yard, so you may want to spend some time preparing the soil for gardening before you plant the following year.
Sunlight problems
Most of us know to plant our cucumbers in a good, sunny spot in the garden, but yellowing, droopy leaves could be an indication that your cukes aren't getting nearly enough sunlight. If you suspect this is the case, try moving them to a place where the sun will shine on them for at least six hours a day.
Pest problems
According to GardeningVibe, insects and other garden pests are a common cause of leaf discoloration. Aphids, whiteflies, potato leafhoppers, and spider mites are among the most common garden pests. Many of these little buggers suck nutrients and sap out of cucumber leaves, leaving small, yellow patches behind.
Plant experts recommend using insecticides on these types of bugs, but we would recommend using a homemade or natural insecticide rather than a potentially toxic one. You could also remove all the weeds and other grasses from your vegetable patch to minimize the number of insectile pests that can call your garden home.
As you can see, there are many root causes of chlorosis out there, but just as many solutions. | eng | c0e8248a-4066-4cb4-9cb6-f4c3a5503606 | https://www.greenmatters.com/p/why-cucumber-leaves-turning-yellow |

Women's Equality Day
Women's Equality Day is celebrated this month on August 26th. It is the day we commemorate the anniversary of the 19th Amendment and women's constitutional right to vote in the U.S. Since its inception in 1973, women's equality has spread so much further than voting. The right to healthcare designed explicitly for women, and the right to safe, effective treatment options.
Taking Care of Yourself with a Well-Woman Exam
Your annual well-woman exam is essential. It's a fundamental part of preventative care. Several vital assessments take place during this visit, including a health check, a physical exam, and health screenings.
Here are some important reasons to make this a part of your plans every year.
It provides an opportunity to discuss and assess your reproductive health needs to reassess your birth control options, discuss preconception planning or the symptoms of menopause.
Prioritizing Your Health with Clinical Research Studies
Women haven't always been included in clinical research studies. In the past and currently, treatment plans have been based on data from males for many medications. This has compromised the safety and effectiveness of several medications for women. As more women participate in clinical research studies, more therapies become safer.
Participating in women's health research studies helps improve healthcare for future generations of women and allows participants to prioritize their healthcare. You can learn more about your condition, allowing you to better care for yourself in the future.
