New gas-fired power plants
New gas-fired power plants
New gas-fired power plants are expected to eclipse wind and solar installations this year.
The latest capacity report covering the period through September issued by the US Energy Information Administration in mid-December predicts that more than 22,000 megawatts of new gas-fired power plants will be put in service this year.
Many are in PJM, the part of the utility grid covering the mid-Atlantic states out as far west as parts of Illinois and Michigan.
This is the first time since 2013 that that gas capacity additions will have outstripped renewables.
The numbers reflect a collapse in natural gas prices in the Appalachian basin in 2015, leading to a rush of new development two and three years ago.
The broad market shift to renewables is expected to continue, but any forecast has to take into account that US electricity demand is barely growing, and the best opportunities to add generating capacity are in parts of the country where coal and nuclear plants are being retired. Gas may have an economic advantage in such places over renewables. On the other hand, what load growth there is tends to be in places like Texas and Arizona, where renewables have the advantage.
A megawatt of gas capacity adds 2.9 times the electricity output as a megawatt of utility-scale solar because solar plants can only produce electricity during the day.
Capacity factors for solar vary by state. The best states are California with a 28.1% capacity factor, Arizona with 27%, Nevada with 26.7%, New Mexico with 25.8%, Colorado with 22.7% and Texas with 21.7%. | eng | 90c106b7-21b5-4544-92e3-ce1c255b8316 | https://www.projectfinance.law/publications/2018/december/new-gas-fired-power-plants/ |
Brahmaputra Dredging Set to be a Costly Affair
Posted on September 6, 2016
By Kalyan Deb, Gplus
The mighty Brahmaputra River has, from 1920 to 2008, wiped out over 4,000 square kilometres of land area at a rate of 80 sq kms per year, destroying more than 2500 villages and affecting more than five million people in Assam. Assam's water resources department has identified 25 vulnerable and very severe erosion-prone sites and estimated that the Assam valley portion of the Brahmaputra has lost approximately 7.4% of its land area due to river bank erosion and channel migration. With regard to management of flood and erosion of Brahmaputra-Barak basin, the recommendations of the workshop on thrust for water resources department, which recently concluded, included that it is necessary to specifically identify the source of silt being carried by a river and then to take appropriate sediment management steps, forestation, where found necessary to build silt and flood detention structures and take up any other tasks which would ultimately contribute in a positive way to reduce flood, erosion and undesirable depositions.
The experts opined that it will be appropriate to adopt integrated river basin planning approach for managing the Brahmaputra river system as a norm based upon the principles of Integrated Water Resource Management and geomorphic, hydrologic, hydraulic, sediment transport, topographical and cross-sectional data on priority basis. Following this, the Assam government said it will start dredging of the Brahmaputra River to give people relief from the perennial problem of flood.
According to an official release, chief minister Sarbananda Sonowal held a meeting with officials of the Dredging Corporation of India Limited. "In order to give succour to the people ravaged by perennial floods and erosion, state government with the help of Dredging Corporation of India, will start dredging of Brahmaputra River," the release mentioned adding that a survey team is likely to visit Assam in 8-10 days to carry out survey work. Based on the findings, an action plan would be prepared for dredging on an annual basis.
Dredging would primarily emphasize on erosion control, sediment management and flood control and the whole process would be carried out in line with the hydrological character of the Brahmaputra, the statement said. However, it remains clouded how dredging is actually carried out.
The exercise
Dredging is the removal of sediments and debris from the bottom of lakes, rivers, harbours, and other water bodies. It is a routine necessity in waterways around the world because sedimentation – the natural process of sand and silt washing downstream – gradually fills channels and harbours.
Dredging often is focused on maintaining or increasing the depth of navigation channels, anchorages, or berthing areas to ensure the safe passage of boats and ships. Vessels require a certain amount of water in order to float and not touch bottom. This water depth continues to shrink over time as larger and larger ships are deployed. Since massive ships carry the bulk of the goods imported into the country, dredging plays a vital role in the nation's economy.
The scrutiny
The water carrying capacity of Brahmaputra has significantly declined due to silt, which has caused an increase the state's vulnerability to floods in any season that witnesses good rains. Meanwhile, it has also been under the radar of scrutiny considering the mammoth investment the project will require. This is not for the first instance that a similar project has been initiated. A source said the shifting course of the Brahmaputra is a stumbling block in carrying out dredging. It was decided to take up dredging on an experimental basis in 1966 following which an attempt was made during 1974 to 1976 which was by and large unsuccessful. It was due to high end cost that the exercise remained confined to small stretches. It was again in 2010 that the Dibrugarh administration had taken up the exercise which was again stopped due to heavy expenditure. Thus, it clearly states that uninterrupted flow of fund is a must for the initiation and successful continuation of the project.
Officials of Department of Water Resource, Assam echoed a similar opinion. "The aim of dredging should be developing the banks that have suffered from soil erosion. In several locations the width of the river has increased whereas the depth has decreased. So with the process of dredge mining if the sediments can be restored at the banks it will also help in restoring banks of Majuli and other affected areas," an official asserted to G Plus.
"The cleanup of the Brahmaputra is crucial and only a perennial exercise of the project can provide a solution to the flood problems of the state. For the project to be a success we will require continuous support from the centre as there is already a fund congestion," the official added.
Meanwhile it was also reported recently that the World Bank has sanctioned an amount of Rs 980 crores for dredging the Brahmaputra. However, the timely release of fund remains a hurdle. The National Hydrology Project (NHP) funded by the World Bank is also underway for which Assam has been allotted with Rs 47 crores. The project is intended for setting up of a system for timely and reliable water resources data acquisition, storage, collation and management. It will also provide tools/systems for informed decision making through Decision Support Systems (DSS) for water resources assessment, flood management, reservoir operations, drought management, etc. NHP also seeks to build capacity of the state and central sector organisations in water resources management through the use of information systems and adoption of state-of-the-art technologies like remote sensing.
Out of the total outlay of Rs 3,679.76 crores, Rs 3,640 crores has been earmarked for National Hydrology Project while Rs 39.76 crores has been kept aside for NWIC. Out of the total outlay, 50% of the amount, that is, Rs 1,839.88 crores, would be World Bank loan which would be repaid by the central government. The remaining 50% that is Rs 1,839.88 crores would be central assistance from the budgetary support. The entire World Bank's loan component and central assistance to the states and central organisations shall be passed on to them as grants. It was also informed that most of the sediments are discharged from Arunachal Pradesh rather than China. Thus, the completion of NHP will play a vital role in dredging the river November | eng | f514253d-66ee-45f4-857b-d0ba3c349295 | https://dredgewire.com/brahmaputra-dredging-set-to-be-a-costly-affair/ |

A blood test is a great place to start and is quite essential. It enables medical experts to keep an eye on your oxygen saturation and find additional disease causes in your blood.
A bronchoscopy may be performed by your doctor. To check the lungs and airways for infections, a short flexible tube with a camera will be inserted within the body.
An X-ray will also be suggested as a test. It is easier for doctors to diagnose any issues when they can see your chest.
The images of your chest produced by a second X-ray and CT scan are more accurate, which makes it simpler to identify your sickness.
A blood test is an ideal place to start and is quite important. It lets medical professionals examine your blood to assess your oxygen levels and identify other disease causes.

Website Specification Documentation
When planning a new website it is critical both you and the developers have a clear idea of business needs before start.
What is a Document Specification and How Does it Work?
Having an agreed document, which includes specifications and objectives, together with agreed actions and noting who is responsible for different tasks reduces the likelihood of misunderstanding and misinterpretations. The more details included about how the site will work for the user the better.
To ensure that everyone is on the same wavelength when designing a new website, an in depth discussion needs to take place before and throughout the whole design process. Expectations must be noted down at the very start of the project, along with any problems that the client has with their existing website. By identifying the aims and objectives of the client at the outset, and the client understanding the website building process, you will be off to the best possible start, with everyone understanding the other's point of view.
From the initial meeting, by drawing up a list of requirements and tasks the website agency has a document it can refer to and develop into a specification document. The client can sign off on this, after asking any questions or identifying any possible problems, which may have been incorrectly missed off or misunderstood. Doing this before the website is built saves everyone time and stress.
When the project is complete the website can be checked against the specification document, and any subsequent debates with the client about the design can be checked against what was agreed in writing.
Document Specifications are Essential to Successful Website Projects
Producing a specification document helps by:
Improving Communication – It is vital for everyone involved in building the website to know exactly what is going on and what the client expects. From those who sell the initial idea, to the designers who will make the website look great to the coders who make it work and the copywriters who provide the content; everyone must know what the aim of the website is, so it's successful. Having a specification document means the information is available for everyone and eliminates guesswork or constant repeating of information between personnel.
Increasing Customer Satisfaction – Customers will want certain features to work in ways which will suit their business, so it is imperative that designers understand why such features are seen as important to the client. Sometimes the website agency will have better ideas to achieve the same outcomes, based on experience, or need to suggest alternatives owing to time or cost considerations. Discussing such issues is an important part of the website build and as the website agency knows more about the design of websites than the client it is important that they know when to challenge the client about unrealistic expectations. Simply presenting a finished version of the website in the last meeting, without discussing why features have been altered or excluded, will cause frustration and a lack of customer satisfaction. If designers have to go away and alter the functionality after the unveiling of the final website, time will be lost along with money and the trust of the client.
Making Scheduling Better - Agreeing the specifications enables you to break the site down into manageable chunks for costing and time allocation, so you know what the budget and timeframe should be to complete the website. This allows more accurate costings and an ability to explain to the client how much different features will cost and how long they will take to develop. Simply estimating is not good enough for either the client or the website agency. Adding in a contingency for the project is still advisable when using this method but clients will have the reassurance of ticking off milestones as the project advances.
Your Specification Documents Will Vary Due to Complexity
Considering the above, Splice Marketing believes that saving time by not having a specification document for your project can short sighted, and lead to additional costs and delays in the future.
For the average Splice Marketing project, our specification documents can take anywhere between 3 to 5 hours to put together, depending on the complexity of the project. Obviously, the more complex the project the longer the specification takes to write, but completing a full specification prevents a project from going over budget for both time and expenses.
Drawing up a document specification and agreeing all the points included in it may take time, but in the longer run it saves clients and agencies time, leading to a successful outcome and less stress for all parties.

the real world
Life is a vacuum that is meaningless at one point, but like a blank slate beneath every picture, its creatures paint a meaningless point into a meaningful state.
As above, so below; from form, to faculty; to, and fro ~ Things come; things go; things vacuum; things blow. - A poem I wrote
Everything that is "human" is just another creation made by this Universe. Our entire body was shaped by everything that already exists in this world, hence why our body contains both heat and water, much like a volcano (which creates life and sustains life) can exist underwater and on land. If you took a moment to look at the brain's neurons and the matter of space, you will see that our neurons are evolving and patterned in the same manner as space matter. If you look into our eye, you will see the nebula's pattern. If you do research on the human eye, you will see that it creates gamma rays under certain conditions - the human eye has what is called a photo receptor; this property of the Universe existed billions of years ago, before stars existed, thus it is not insanity to state that our eyes are the Universe's eyes looking back at itself, much like how our reflection stares back at us. I have forever been passionate about this Universe living its own story through us, since the moment I saw humans touch this world in this curiosity from being born into this world with absolutely no knowledge, in the same way the jelly fish touches space - furthermore, the human's fingers and the jellyfish's tools both can create sparks of electricity when you trigger the function.
At that moment, I knew the "human experience" was not limited to this body - it was created in many different forms before this body ever existed. | eng | ea063d94-299a-4ab8-9b48-2a026215766b | https://able2know.org/topic/254627-5 |

and a "GOD" would be Contradiction
New Member
How would you be able to time travel if a "GOD" existed. Most religions that have a "GOD" say that he has always existed. If you could keep going back in time, there would be no begining if God has been around forever. If you can't reach a begining, how would you ever be able to pick a certain point in time to travel to and how could you get back? We only use time because we are immoral. If we could live forever, we would eventually have no use for time.

When I refer to "God", I'm talking about the highest and supreme existese. Not a person or being but something that has existed which put 1 + 1 together and built the universe. Time travel would therefore be impossible for us because how could we go back in time and be able to survive in a void, a place where nothing exists except space. If you could time travel there would be so much we could never understand, such so complex concepts of creation and beyond that our brains would bleed if we got just a taste of it. Thanks for reading my thoughts, but this discussion board is just people's fantasies. A theory of how we could time travel might exist, but actually time traveling would never happen. Sorry to be an asshole and crush your dreams, but this is reality. Dreams rarely ever come true. They just sit there and rot in our minds and eventually decay into nothing.

God is a paradox unto Himself. Theoretically speaking, is both omniscient and omnipotent (all seeing and all powerful). But if God knows the future, that means the future is set. That means that God cannot change the future. If God can change the future, then He cannot see the future because it is fluid.
It's one of those paradoxes like "what's the sound of one hand clapping". I hate those paradoxes, because I always seem to have answers to all of them.
In my opinion, If God is omniscient AND omnipotent, that means that God can see all futures and choose whichever He likes.

I'm no expert but I have taken a philosophy class and thought you might find this argument interesting.
All particles are in motion. Our universe extends back in a cause and effect relationship to some point where you find an initial object that somehow instigates movement where none existed before. This unmoved mover is God.
I think it was Thomas Aquinas who posed the unmoved mover argument but I may be remembering that wrong. It is one of a few classic "god exists" arguments that exist in philosophy.

6 things I miss about the toddler years
A few weeks ago, we celebrated my youngest child's high school graduation. I remember people telling me how fast childhood would slip by, and I obviously didn't take it seriously enough because now they're practically grownups, and I still have their baby blankets in my closet.
I swear that every year with them is the best one yet, but there's something extra special about the toddler years. Here are some of the things I miss the most:
1. Their made up sayings.
When my now 21-year-old daughter was two, she'd beg us to take her to "dip dip." This meant a trip to McDonalds where she could dip chicken nuggets in barbecue sauce. Two decades later, and my daughter now rolls her eyes at the "dip dip" story, having heard it so many times before. But I can still remember my pigtailed little girl pointing to the golden arches, hoping we'll stop to "dip dip."
2. Their need for comfort.
There is nothing like a toddler hug, the kind where their whole body fits inside your arms and their little head rests against the crook of your neck. Sure, toddlers can drive you crazy, but when they need a hug, everything else is forgotten. My now 18-year-old son was my most cuddly toddler, and he would find every reason to sit in my lap or snuggle against my shoulder, making up for all the times he made me want to tear out my hair.
3. Reading to them.
I used to love curling up with my toddler and a book, reading it together. We had a few of our favorites—The Runaway Bunny, Goodnight Moon, and Sophie and the New Baby (for my daughter when I was pregnant with my son)—and we'd read them on repeat almost every night. They loved reciting the words with me, pretending they were reading, too, through their memorization skills. Now that they're older, both kids appreciate a good book, and I absolutely credit our early days of reading together.
4. The drama.
OMG, the drama. Toddler's are liable to melt over the stupidest things. Because he can't eat the crayons. Because the toast she wanted is toasted. Because he has to wear clothes. Because the dog is in her way. Because you didn't let him finish eating dirt. The temper tantrums are real…real ridiculous, that is. But years later, they sure are great sources of nostalgic entertainment.
5. Their imaginations.
My favorite times with the kids were when we played games of pretend. Stuffed animals became ferocious, protective beasts. Blankets became elaborate castle forts. The floor became hot lava. A simple sarong became a jeweled ballgown. Toddlers are so naturally imaginative, they are capable of bring the child out of all of us.
6. Nap time.
Toddler play hard, and they also nap hard. There were times when I couldn't wait for nap time just so I could get an hour or so of quiet to get stuff done, or even to take my own nap. But once my toddler was out, I couldn't help peeking in, seeing their chubby little hands curled in fists, their puckered mouths open, their long lashes against their flushed cheeks… Sleeping toddlers are truly like little angels—so much different than sleeping teens (not quite as angelic).
What are some of the things you love the best about the toddler years?

Calendula Growing Guide
All flowers have the uncanny ability to attract pollinators and beneficial insects to the garden and to put a smile on our faces, which is certainly worth a lot! Calendula is a profuse golden-yellow to deep-orange blossoms flower that can be picked over a period of 3-6 months. It has anti-inflammatory effects when it is used topically and it is also a potent antioxidant. Because of its antiviral and antibacterial qualities, it is also useful in treating minor wounds and abrasions. Also deters flies and mosquitos.
Sowing Style: Direct Sow. Broadcast or line sow as a hedge. Thin as required. You can also choose to transplant if you have less seeds.
Time to Sow: Monsoon, Autumn and Summer. Except for the cold months, the plants thrive in the sun.
Plant Spacing: 6-12"
Good Companions: Calendula is effective at deterring tomato hornworms, Mexican bean beetles, aphids, cabbage maggots and the asparagus beetle. Interplanting with pest-susceptible plants is the easiest way to deter unwanted critters.
Bad Companions: N/A
Soil and Cultivation Requirements: Not a high-nutrition demanding crop. Pretty low maintenance once established. Give a round of compost during sowing and after a month of harvesting.
Irrigation: Both drip and sprinkler irrigation works well for calendula. Water them regularly on hot days.
Harvesting and Storing: Harvest every 3-5 days as soon as the plants start flowering. Fresh flowers can be seeped in oil and placed under the sun or moon for a few days to extract their medicinal properties, and then sieve them out. For dried calendula, harvest them when they are young with a lot of fresh petals and shade-dry them to preserve their medicinal value. No need to crush the flowers. Store them in an air-tight jar or packet. (Check for bugs in the flowers before seeping or drying them) | eng | 77eb440a-de36-456d-94de-2bfacea99e4d | https://yarrowayfarm.com/calendula-growing-guide/ |

Description: How many of you know that you encounter Artificial Intelligence almost daily? AI in Customer Service is firmly in the driver's seat, and today we'll talk about why.
How AI Technology is Enriching Business
The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technology is revolutionizing the business world. This technology is being introduced into all new areas, creating unique opportunities for those who are open and willing to embrace recent trends. So what can we expect from this cutting-edge tech?
Neural networks use processing algorithms that mimic the brain's thinking and how it solves problems. The AI can work without prior knowledge, drawing information only from experience. The more data that comes in, the more efficiently the AI works. It learns, analyzes, and can produce results and even predict them.
Today, AI is a centripetal system of customer service, references, and virtual assistants like Alex, Cortana, and Siri. AI sorts content by user preference, etc. It needs no rest and is not prone to errors due to loss of concentration or attentiveness.
How Customer Experience Benefits from AI Implementation
Customer experience is vital for any business. It helps to attract new users, retain customers, and create a pleasant attachment to a product or service. To improve the customer experience, you must work through many metrics, including service, speed, convenience, attention, and customer satisfaction. In addition, the quality of the user's encounter with the company must be high at all stages to increase overall profits. AI is becoming an indispensable tool for improving these processes.
Analysis and Prediction
AI analytics algorithms enable more profound insights into the data and behavior of visitors to websites, apps, and other platforms. The ability to process a considerable layer of information allows AI tools to see all the patterns, highlight the average value, combine the data into a system, and see the current customer picture. An AI-based tool can also group current and new users according to metrics and then make assumptions about their behavior. By actively working with the data, predictive analytics can be used for decision-making.
Better Decision Making
Quick response time and flexibility save costs and allow for effective use of marketing budgets. Using AI analytics and predictive data, you can prepare for upheaval or change events ahead of time. It's much cheaper to prevent, for example, a visitor churn in time than it is to attract new visitors. Artificial intelligence uses data on current and departing customers to establish patterns that identify customers prone to churn before they leave.
Better Customer Engagement
The length of a customer's relationship with a business depends on customer engagement. AI development services help shape marketing activity tasks to engage customer groups, increase interaction, and increase repeat purchases.
Automation
A wide variety of AI-based tools help automate customer service processes: chatbots, virtual assistants, etc. They are aimed at helping not only users but also business employees to improve internal operational processes.
How AI Can Improve the Customer Experience
The continuous development of technology gives companies additional tools and resources to interact with customers, improve their work, and improve the result.
AI in Customer Service
When we think of the customer experience, we first refer to customer service. It's the most direct way to communicate with a brand, which can be either positive or negative. Nowadays, it wouldn't surprise anyone to have support available at any time or day of the week. It's made possible by introducing AI in chatbots and assistant technology. They are available every second and can handle more requests. AI is optimizing the communication industry. New chatbot models are becoming more intelligent thanks to an embedded "intent recognition" feature. It allows bots to understand better what users say and respond with more detail and precision. Chatbots with "intent recognition" can decipher the essence of any question, whatever its formulation.
Customer's Journey
Artificial intelligence technology is inherently dynamic and constantly adds new information and patterns to its databases. Thus, AI in customer service is continuously evolving. It can use vast amounts of data to create "customer prototypes." Not only is AI able to determine what the customer wants based on the data it provides, but it can also decide whether the customer can benefit from the business. This is why customers can find the products or services they need more quickly, making the customer journey comfortable and fast. In addition, AI can use previously learned patterns to provide customers with a personalized, customized, and precisely tailored experience. From the customer's perspective, the less effort it takes to find something, the better. Consequently, AI finds the fastest and shortest path between customers and the desired product or service.
Emotional Coloring Analysis
Emotional coloring can be detected by natural language understanding (NLU) technology. It goes beyond traditional speech analytics. This feature enables intelligent assistants to interpret users' moods and intentions, recognize emotions, track their intensity, prioritize contacts, and direct them to competent operators. This tool is perfected by analyzing millions of customer interactions in different industries. All in order to get the most accurate results and to offer companies improved opportunities for successful interactions with their audiences.
Targeted Offers
Artificial intelligence is able to personalize the customer experience based on incoming data and continuous learning. The system analyzes customer actions and adapts to them. For example, personalized loyalty programs automate the interaction with the user so that they buy more often.
AI in customer service is becoming a trend these years. We're getting used to convenience and attention, and we're not ready to lower the bar on our requirements. AI is the technology that is driving the entire customer experience culture forward. Data science and machine learning advances enable mid-sized businesses to achieve the same results that were previously only available to market leaders with large analytics staffs. | eng | 320e1b75-e9f2-44d5-91e0-e709632f7959 | https://cleekdigital.com/ai-in-customer-service-how-to-enrich-your-customer-experience/ |

Let's face it: Game code is a mess. There are just so many moving parts, so many things that interact, so much stuff to process that your code eventually starts resembling a plate of spaghetti that's been hit by a tornado. However, there are patterns and techniques one can use to at least alleviate some of these problems. And one of the most powerful tools in the gamedev's arsenal against chaos theory are states.
HaxeFlixel comes with many powerful features, and one of the most useful ones is the built-in collision handling. Collision can be a very complex and difficult topic in gamedev, but HaxeFlixel makes it very easy to get it working. And this is not only extremely useful for quickly prototyping a game idea; the whole system is actually robust and performant enough for real production! So in this post, let's take a look at how to leverage the built-in collision features to smash things together in our games.
Update: Mar 7th 22 - Made the shader code a bit cleaner to prevent issues with some graphics cards that are more strict about implicit type conversions.
As you may have read in my latest devlog, I recently implemented a pixel-perfect water shader in Go! Go! PogoGirl. Since then I've been asked to write a tutorial on how I did it, so here it is! I hope you'll find it helpful.
HaxeFlixel is a very powerful framework and my personal favorite. However, it's still relatively unknown, which is unfortunate. So, in order to show off how kickass HaxeFlixel can be, I decided to create a crash course that'll show you how to create a 2-player Pong game in less than an hour!
Before we begin, make sure that you've installed and set up HaxeFlixel as described on the official homepage. It's all fairly straight-forward. | eng | 0091dc7e-8a80-41c2-a31b-9cf076bc1e78 | https://www.ohsat.com/tags/haxeflixel/ |
TV and internet a necessity for half of Britain
TVs and the internet are a necessity, not a luxury, in modern Britain, according to a MoneySavingExpert.com poll of over 15,000 people.
In the new technology age, these gadgets are now a core part of many households (see the Digital TV and Cheap Broadband guides).
According to the survey, which asked people to select essentials for a family with children, a basic TV is vital for 49% of people, while a computer with internet access is crucial for 45%.
Nevertheless, 27% of UK households do not have internet access, which means they do won't always qualify for the cheapest deals. Only 3% of households do not have a colour TV.
Traditional must-haves top the list of essential items such as boilers, cookers and fridge/freezers.
Here is how MoneySavers rated common households items.

Martin Lewis, MoneySavingExpert.com creator, says: "The world is changing. Without web access or contact with the wider media, some children may be disadvantaged in their education. Families who aren't on the internet also pay more for basic facilities, so perhaps it's to be expected web access and TV are described as a need for some.
"This is more than just a water-cooler discussion. With spending cuts looming, when it comes to deciding what benefits should be given or what counts as a minimum living standard, it's crucial to define what most people think of as necessary.
"Even official definitions of child poverty no longer look at the historic need for food, shelter and clothing; they rely on how much income a family has compared with the average. So in the long run, as the nation hopefully prospers, what counts as the bare minimum increases too."
Are games consoles a necessity?
For some, the net of what is a luxury stretches even further. In the discussion on our forum, some spoke up for the 4% who said games consoles were necessary.
One user writes: "Games consoles are a normal, standard everyday thing for children to have. If they want one, and all their friends have one, then it's pretty essential for their happiness. A child who goes through their childhood without a console, in a society where it is expected, is having a deprived childhood."
Another says: "My little cousin was injured a while ago and has been unable to participate in any boyish rough and tumble, as well as his usual raft of team sports, for months. He said: 'It's just as well I'm good at Xbox or I wouldn't have any friends left.' He's 10.

Practical, Not Perfection
A lot of runners are type A: we like a plan, we like lists, and we like everything being just how we like it (weather, timing, etc.)
While this makes us efficient and able to execute training plans it also gets in our way.
We get hyper focused on ever pace, every run and every stat that we can possibly grasp on to. If we don't hit it we turn into grumps which can also be equated to a toddler tantrum....I do it, I'm honest!
The most important thing to remember is that most of us aren't elites (unless one of the pros are reading this then heyyyyyy!!!) We day to day runners have jobs, kids and have to figure out perpetually what's for dinner every night because who has the time/energy to actually meal plan? All of this adulting really gets in the way of our runs. No matter how hard we plan or move things around something always just get thrown at us and we have to swerve.
Life gets busy and if I am waking up early for a speed session my 4 year old doesn't care. She doesn't care that I'm training for a marathon nor can she count to 26 so basically the rules are made up and the points don't matter.
So I move my workout to accommodate her needs and then run when it's hotter than I'd like. It's not the end of the world even though it feels like it sometimes. This brings me to being practical. If I've learned anything this marathon cycle is perfection has no place in running—it HAS to be replaced with practicality or you won't get through it.
As I write this I am heading my own advice. (Shocking I know)
I set my intention today to get my strength training done but one thing after another had to come first. By the time 7pm rolled around I was beyond done—-life and 21 miles over two days caught up with me and I had to ask myself why was I pushing myself to strength train after dinner.
The only reason was to seek that perfection of hitting the plan. I didn't actually believe that session would serve my training, it was just so I could put a check mark next to todays goal and that isn't a good enough reason
So instead I snuggled into bed, watched Below Deck and went to be early. Practically the rest/recover was going to do more for me than the planned upper body workout on this given day. Perfection Shelby struggled to deviate from the plan but I know to have longevity and to
not fall into that overtraining mindset you gotta give yourself the grace to let the practical side of our minds reign every once in a while.
Do you struggle with being practical over perfect? Just in your running or in general?
For the record my answer is yes to all of the above but I'm working on it 😅 | eng | 715f25eb-2e03-45c4-9f68-5d5913d020b9 | https://www.runningandschmidt.com/post/practical-not-perfection |

Message Queue
Message Queue is one of the IPC(Inter process communication).
What is message queue in IPC ?
It is queue that is used from inter process communication and it exists independently(if sender/es or receiver/es processes are terminated they will not effect the life of MQ) , It sends "block of data" and each block of data has a type.
Advantage:
It is very easy and efficient way of communication.
MQ exists independently of both sender and receiver process.
We don't have to think about of opening and closing of MQ like pipe.
Disadvantage:
It has restriction on size of each block of data.
It has restriction on number of message on queue.
Diagram:
Header file:
#include<sys/msg.h>
API's:
int msgget((key_t)key, int msgflag); => create and access.
key is the integer, it is name of MQ, it should be unique in running system.
msgflag: this is related to permission, 6(Read+ Write) and IPC_CREAT is used to create a MQ but it will be ignored if MQ exists.
msgID is the ID of MQ that was generated by msgget(), it is identity of MQ.
msgptr is the pointer to "structure of message" that we want to send.
//Message structure
struct my_msg
{
long int type; = This is type of message, its mandatory field.
char text[gSize]; = This is actual message, it could be array or int or
or other structure based on message that we want to send.
};
msgSize is the size of message, it does not include "long int type" of messagemsgID is the ID of MQ that was generated by msgget(), it is identity of MQ.
msgptr is the pointer to "structure of message" that we want to receive.
msgSize is the size of message, it does not include "long int type" of message.
msgType is long int type and it defines the priority of message, it has 3 value:
0: first available message on queue will be retrieved.
>0: Message with "same message type" will be retrieved, if value is 5 then only message with type 5 will be picked.
<0: Message with "same message type" and all smaller type value will be retrieved, if value is -5 then message with type 5 and all smaller will be pickedalpha:~$ cd IPC/MQ
alpha:~/IPC/MQ$ g++ -o sen sender.cpp
alpha:~/IPC/MQ$ ls
rec reciever.cpp sen sender.cpp

In Main
Enter the message that you want send or enter end to stop
DigestCPP

Gravitas: Why hundreds of birds fell to death in Mexico
WION Video Team|Updated: Feb 16, 2022, 07:20 AM IST
A viral video shows hundreds of migratory birds falling to death in Mexico. Some netizens say the birds flew through power lines. Some blame the death on 'magnetic field issues'. Experts have a different explanation. Palki Sharma brings you a report. | eng | 500b39a7-f56c-4d63-bd1b-5e5a35f58284 | https://www.wionews.com/videos/gravitas-why-hundreds-of-birds-fell-to-death-in-mexico-453597 |
According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), almost 1.3 billion tonnes of food is wasted around the globe. To help consumers reduce food waste in the household Somdip Dey, an Indian-born embedded machine learning scientist, co-developed Nosh - an artificial intelligence powered food waste management app, alongside Suman Saha, a computer engineer from Kolkata.
Dey was schooled at South Point High School and PathaBhavan and pursued a bachelor's degree in Computer Science at St. Xavier's College, Kolkata. After graduating from St. Xavier's College, Kolkata, he moved to the UK to pursue his master's degree at the University of Manchester. In 2014, while pursuing his master's degree he co-developed a crowd food-sharing platform to help consumers to share their food surplus with other people around them, which went on to inspire other entrepreneurs to develop similar solutions to fight food waste.
In 2020, during the Covid-19 pandemic, Dey co-developed the Nosh app with Saha to help consumers to reduce food waste by helping them to better manage food in the household while providing recipes, in-app shopping list planning and intelligent analytics to track food buying and wasting habits. So far, Nosh has already helped more than 13,000 users to save more than 176,000 food items and reduce CO2 emissions by 105 tonnes. Given the success of Nosh, Dey and Saha co-founded Nosh Technologies - a deep tech company focused on reducing food waste, which was also featured at TechCrunch Disrupt 2021.
Nosh Daily, the blogging and news platform of Nosh Technologies, reported that the Nosh team uses blockchain as one of their core technologies in developing solutions to reduce food waste. The Nosh team has developed an intellectual property called FoodSQRBlock that aims to digitize food supply chain data using blockchain, QR code and cloud computing to help farmers and consumers to be able to trace their food easily for improved food safety.
The Nosh Daily editorial team also reported that Dey and Nosh Technologies are using Bitclout.com, the cryptocurrency and social media platform based on the DeSo blockchain, with the hope to raise funds to support their projects through ICO. Upon reaching out for comments Dey, who is also the CEO of Nosh Technologies, mentioned, "One of the key reasons we are one of the first companies to be on Bitclout is because it is a new social media platform where the engagement rate is much higher compared to other already established popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Bitclout's team shares our vision for investing in technology such as blockchain to serve consumers better."
Dey continues, "Moreover, in future, if we plan to raise funds through ICO from our supporters on Bitclout then we could also do that comparatively easily while at the same time enabling our supporters to directly fund the project in exchange for long term benefits."
As part of Nosh's pitch at the TechCrunch Disrupt 2021 Impact session, Dey also announced the launch of a new service called Nosh Shop, which would allow restaurants to sell food at a discounted rate that might go bad soon thus, creating another revenue stream for the company. | eng | dda82b41-f0f9-4ccc-bddb-58e5f38e8034 | https://www.outlookindia.com/outlook-spotlight/food-waste-startup-uses-ai-and-blockchain-to-fight-food-waste-news-51435 |

This turned out not to be what my students needed. It may be very useful for some students....
There were also some pretty emotional parts in the book which made it even better as a parent read so we could discuss them. If you can put your paws on that one, you'll get my point, I hope. It is unfortunate that letter writing has faded from common life. Not the end of the world, but would have been nice to know.

How to Start an Ecommerce Store?
How to Start an eCommerce Store With the Right Platform
If you're thinking of starting an eCommerce store, you've probably already gathered a few questions. Which business entity type should you use? Which product niche do you want to specialize in? And how do you choose a platform to sell on? This article will explain all of these topics and more! Read on to find out how to start an eCommerce store with the right platform! The first step is choosing a domain name and business entity.
Dropshipping
To sell products through a dropshipping service, you'll need an eCommerce platform, a good supplier, and something to sell. But how do you go about setting up your dropshipping store? Here are some tips to help you get started. Before you start selling, make sure to do some research. Once you've found a good supplier, the next step is to find a product.
To start, look at popular websites and determine which products sell best. For instance, a fashion retailer might organize their store according to trend categories. Another great way to determine which products will sell the best is to browse the top-selling products on other eCommerce stores. In addition, you can also measure how popular your products are by looking at the order volume. If your products are relatively new and have low order volumes, they may not be as popular as other items.
Choosing a business entity type
When launching an eCommerce store, it's crucial to choose the right type of business entity. This decision has important financial and legal implications. In most cases, you'll opt for a sole proprietorship. This type of business structure is the easiest to form, has the least amount of paperwork and fees, and passes all profits on to the owner. However, if you plan to sell goods, a limited liability company may be a better choice.
In addition to being the best option for eCommerce stores, LLCs are also advantageous for those running their businesses. For one, LLCs protect personal assets, which means that your business can't sue you. An LLC also offers limited liability protection, which means that your assets are protected in the event of a lawsuit or default. Ecommerce stores also face a high risk of product liability and intellectual property claims. Therefore, it is essential to choose a business entity type that protects your assets.
Choosing a product niche
Choosing a product niche when starting an online store is essential. Unlike a traditional brick-and-mortar store, where a small number of products are available, eCommerce stores can offer a large variety of products. Depending on the niche, you may sell only a handful of products or an entire category. However, if you're aiming to be a successful eCommerce store owner, you must have at least forty products to sell.
To start your business, you need to choose a niche that will be profitable to competitors. However, a small niche that will be flooded with many brands can also be profitable. It's important to research the market for saturation and understand the strategies used by your competitors. For example, there are millions of brands in the dog toy niche, and that means that you need to find a competitive advantage (USP) for your brand. The most successful USPs are those that help the shopper in some way.
Choosing a platform
When you choose a platform for your online store, be sure to consider the features and the support provided by that platform. The software you use must support multiple features, including a consistent experience across all platforms and devices, as well as allowing you to have multiple versions of your products and manage their prices. Also, look for an ecosystem that offers extensive learning resources and customer support to ensure that you are not stuck trying to learn everything yourself.
Shopify is the most popular online store platform, and it's easy to use and beginner-friendly, yet powerful enough to handle large sales. This eCommerce platform is also very affordable, starting at just $9 per month for a basic plan that lets you add "Buy Now" buttons to existing websites. Full online stores start at $29 per month. Shopify is easy to use and has received positive reviews from its users. | eng | 02f7f78b-9afc-493f-95b5-de8206312aeb | https://omaha-seo.com/how-to-start-an-ecommerce-store-2/ |
活够了的一个感觉|A feeling for lived enough
Maybe they understand that the meaning of life is "death", and "death" is only to go to "another world" better and try a different life. It's probably a kind of enlightenment, a feeling of the soul "ascending"! In the "reality", the spirit and life are reshaped for the second or multiple times; in the eyes of "another world", it is just a change of "existence" in some sense and form.
Understood such a truth. No matter what, a person will generally not choose to go to "another world" and live on their knees; instead, they will cherish it even more and travel back to "reality" with their soul, every day and every time will be a new birth. | eng | 519f3ca2-4e68-45c3-803a-e8455979385d | https://o10er.com/12972/ |
This paper examines theories of teaching that can be used by effective teachers to provide instruction to a variety of learners. This learning theory attempts to engage all forms of learners by speaking to each student individually and what better way to do that than to have the students learn from each other along with some using the student centered learning model. A variety of teaching concepts have been combined to construct a comprehensive format for instruction. .
Customized Learning Theory:
Introduction
It has been stated that all people are created equally; this does not hold true in the case of learning. All students are actually created individually. All students have their own significant ways of processing information that is unlike any other. People best relate learning to personal experiences and since all students' experiences in life are different so are their perceptions of a subject. Unfortunately, it is impossible to have an individual teacher for each student. This leaves teachers with the task of reaching all students on a personal level while still staying within the time constraints of a lesson plan. This can be a difficult task to accomplish but, not impossible using the student centered classroom model.
The best idea for accommodating a variety of different students is to allow them to learn from one another. This way all students are socialized to the others' experiences at some point they all are thinking on the same level. The experiences that one student has had in life has been share with the others so they are then able to conceptualize the subject matter as if they have lived it themselves. In this form of teachers face the obstacle of stepping away from the conventional role of teacher and become a facilitator. Now although this form of dialog may hold well for some students, what happens to the shy standoff is student who does not have the courage to participate in group conversation? That student may be learning and even have some great ideas to add but lacks the confidence to speak out. This student still has the opportunity to show their understanding through tests and essay assignments.
Learning Theory
Learning theory is the perception of how people learn and the process by which the information is internalized so it can be understood. Everyone has a different process of understanding information. The different ideas of what those processes are is learning theory. Learning theory is important as it informs of the best possible route of instruction so that understanding and retention are achieved. Without the perception of learning theory, there would be no way of making learning meaningful, which is the only way to achieve retention. Teachers need to have the ability to reach the entire class; through efficient understanding of learning theory the needs of the class population can be met. The teacher should then take this knowledge and apply it to how the instruction is delivered. This means they should mix different elements of the instruction on a topic so that all students have an equal opportunity to understand.
Effective Teaching
An effective teacher is one that is intentional. Intentional teachers set goal followed by plans of action to follow through to get students in engaged in the process of learning. An effective teacher's goal is not to stand in front of a class in lecture but to get students involved in the learning process so they learn from each other. Effective teachers have the ability to step away from the traditional role of instruction and act as a facilitator in the learning process to guide student in to a way of thinking and discussing interesting topics in such a way that meaning and understanding is developed. The ability to help students mature and encourage strengths is one that must be attained by any teacher who intends to be effective.
The ideal environment for teaching and learning is in the classroom where students have the opportunity to openly discuss ideas. According to Shabani, Khatib, & Ebadi (2010) individuals learn best when working together with others during joint collaboration, and it is through such collaborative endeavors with more skilled persons that learners learn and internalize new concepts. Student are made to feel comfortable by having an open platform. Smagorinsky (2007) states writing and talking to learn are more inviting to students because they need not fear being wrong. It is explained that creating a positive school environment where students are free to explore the possibilities of their own identity help student become well rounded individuals.
The teacher must have a great deal of control over the class. In this form of learning respect for others opinions and tolerance must exist for learning to be success for and to keep the class orderly. Effective teachers must emphasize this respect and be sure that the students are operating on the belief of Matthew 7:12 however, you want people to treat you, so treat them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Since in student centered leaning keeps students in the lesson there is less time for horse play and goofing off.
Direct instruction is more beneficial for use in some lesson as concepts have to be delivered to the student and some understanding must be gained in order for dialog to be meaningful. In direct instruction students are given information directly by way of lecture this is a more traditional method of teaching. With this method is students tend to become bored quickly and fail to retain information. When direct instruction is used it should be followed by some form of dialogue this makes a way for information can be related to real life experiences which gives a better chance for what has been learned to be retained.
When dealing with problematic student direct instruction can be the best method of teaching there is little room for interruptions. Since no student participation is required, students don't have the ability to throw off the lesson plan or be lead off topic. This would be an ideal learning scheme for a class of exceptional learners.
Technology is a tool that will be often used by the effective teacher. Technology can be used in the classroom to keep students involved. In today's society all classrooms must students used many forms of technology in the everyday lives. Moorhead (2009) states, use of these technologies can help overcome many challenges by helping engage students in an otherwise one-way teaching environment. It is key to step away from this one way teaching and engage our student in the lesson in order to achieve optimal learning. Moorhead (2009) goes on to suggest, technologies can dramatically impact overcoming classroom challenges and improve student retention are the use of interactive whiteboards and student response systems.
Learning Characteristics
The teaching method will include many multimodality to reach all students needs. The class will use a mix of leaning techniques throughout the semester. Class content will include oral presentations, role playing, videos, and in class demonstrations. Students will be placed into mixed ability groups. The main idea if the student centered classroom is to get student to learn from one another all other grouping would call for a homogeneous mixture. Students need to be socialized with people who are above their level so they can learn from them. This can aid student in catching up to the level where they are supposed to be. According to Slavin (2012) when using mixed ability grouping students construct a shared understanding of a topic by building on each other's ideas, discussing the significance of personal beliefs until mutual agreement is reached. Also grouping student homogeneously room for student to be judged negatively by their peers. Labels can then be set such as "geeks" or "nerds". Students in lower ability groups could be considered "dumb".
Hamman & Hendricks (2005) suggest that creating a positive school environment where students are free to explore the possibilities of their own identity help student become well rounded individuals. Many have argued that that mixed group learning can have negative effects on gifted learners as they are being held back from learning new concepts because the lower level students are taking away precious time from their advancement. This is an unfair view. Philippians 2:4 states "Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others." People must learn this is not hurting student what is actually happening is we are looking to better the world on a whole. Students are learning patience and tolerance. School is a learning community not only facts and mathematic calculations are taught but also the correct ways of living. The Bible states (Ephesians 4:2) we must handle people with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love.
Personal Reflection
According to my learning style profile I am a progressivist. I find this to be very accurate, as I feel that the best was to understand a topic is by hands on interaction. Students learn through experience. I also believe that students learn through their environment but, environment alone does not determine learning. Environment merely sets a stage for beliefs but those beliefs can be modified over time. My learning theory is focused on group work and discussions as these set a platform for learning to be related to real life experiences which in itself gives the opportunity to make learning meaningful and more easily retained. My beliefs are deeply rooted in John Dewey's theories that school is a community where the teacher is not a authoritarian but a facilitator for learning.
Conclusion
The learning centered classroom is most beneficial to students because they are given exposure to other student's experiences. These experiences are used to gain and retain information. Mixed ability groups along with classroom discussion will keep student more intrigued that listening to a teach lecture on a topic. School is not only for teaching student's facts and calculations; it is an environment where children learn the proper way to conduct themselves in society. Teachers are a part of the learning community not only put here to give information but to provide a stage for a lifetime of learning. This is like the Chinese proverb "give a man a fish he can eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he can eat for a lifetime". I am looking to educate students for a lifetime.

What Are Convertible Bonds & How Do They Work?
What Is a Convertible Bond?
A convertible bond is a type of corporate bond that can be converted into shares of common stock in the issuing company upon or before its maturity. Like traditional corporate bonds, convertible bonds may entitle their holders to coupon (interest) payments at regular intervals and can usually be redeemed for their par value (original price) upon maturity, assuming they were not already converted into shares.
In other words, the holder of a convertible bond can decide to convert it into a pre-determined number of shares of stock or have its par value returned to them upon its maturity.
Technically, convertible bonds are considered debt instruments until they are converted into shares. Because they act like debt but can be converted into equity, however, most investors consider them hybrid securities.
What Is a Conversion Ratio?
A convertible bond's conversion ratio specifies how many shares of common stock it can be redeemed for. The higher the ratio, the more shares the bond is worth. For instance, a 5:1 convertible bond is redeemable for five shares, a 3:1 is redeemable for three shares, and so on. A convertible bond's conversion ratio is specified in its indenture (the legally binding document that outlines the terms, rules, and provisions of the bond) when it is issued.
What Is a Conversion Price?
A convertible bond's conversion price is the bond's par value divided by its conversion ratio. It is also the minimum price the stock of the underlying company must reach in order for the bond to become eligible for conversion into shares.
For instance, if a convertible bond had a conversion ratio of 5:1 and a face value of $500, its conversion price would be $100 ($500/5). If the issuing company's stock reached this price, the bondholder could redeem their bond for stock.
What Are the Advantages of Convertible Bonds for Investors?
Convertible bonds can be advantageous for investors because they offer the safety and stability that come with traditional bonds in the form of fixed-income payments and an eventual return of principal.
Unlike traditional bonds, however, they can also be exchanged for shares if the underlying company performs well and its share price increases to a level that makes conversion more valuable than the bond's principal and remaining interest payments. In other words, convertible bonds provide their holders the security of bonds but the upside potential of stock.
The above illustrates how vanilla convertible bonds (the most common type) work in practice.
Convertible Bond Example
Imagine a convertible bond with a par value of $1,000, a coupon rate of 0.5%, and a conversion ratio of 7:1 that matured in 5 years. When the bond is issued, the company's stock trades at $90 per share, so 7 shares would be worth $630. The bond's par value and remaining interest payments, at this point, would be worth $1,025.
If, 4 years later, the company's stock is trading at $150 per share, 7 shares would be worth $1,050 ($25 more than the bond would paid in interest if held until maturity), so it would be to the investor's advantage to redeem the convertible bond for the 7 shares and resell them rather than waiting to receive the remaining coupon payments and their $1,000 principal.
If, on the other hand, the bond's maturity was approaching, but the company's stock was trading at only $125 per share, 7 shares would be worth only $875, so it would be in the bondholder's best interest to hold the bond until maturity and have their principal returned rather than converting it into shares.
Why Do Companies Issue Convertible Bonds?
Companies often need to raise capital, and when they do, they have two options: They can create and sell new equity (stock) or they can borrow money from investors or a bank.
By issuing corporate bonds, a company borrows money from investors that it will have to pay back later with interest. By issuing stock, on the other hand, a company can raise money without taking on debt (although creating shares does cost money), but creating new stock dilutes the ownership value of all of its existing shares, which doesn't look great to investors and can result in a drop in share price.
Both of these options come with pros and cons, but convertible corporate bonds offer a sort of "best of both worlds" middle ground. Because convertible bonds come with the option to redeem for shares, investors are willing to accept a lower coupon rate for their loaned money. In other words, if a corporation issued two identical bonds, one convertible and one traditional, it could pay a lower interest rate on the convertible bond, meaning it would pay less in total for the borrowed money.
Additionally, because convertible bonds can but don't necessarily have to turn into new shares of stock, the issue of share dilution is pushed into the future. If holders of convertible bonds don't redeem them for shares, no dilution occurs. If they do, dilution occurs sometime in the future, by which point the company hopes to have increased its value enough to offset the effects of the share dilution.
Types of Convertible Bonds
There are several unofficial "types" of convertible bonds, the features of which are detailed below. The above sections primarily describe "vanilla" convertible bonds, which are the most common.
Vanilla
Vanilla convertible bonds are the simplest and most common. They may or may not pay interest (most do), and if the underlying company's stock reaches the conversion price, their holder may exchange them for shares at their specified conversion rate on or before maturity. Once the bond is converted to shares, interest payments cease, and the principal no longer has to be repaid to the former bondholder.
Mandatory
Unlike vanilla convertibles, mandatory convertible bonds must be redeemed for shares. They convert automatically on a certain date regardless of the share price of the underlying company. Because conversion isn't optional, holders of mandatory convertibles are compensated with a higher interest rate.
Reverse
Like vanilla convertibles, reverse convertible bonds can either be converted into shares or not, but in this case, the decision is made by the bond issuer—not the bondholder. In other words, upon a reverse convertible's maturity, the issuing company has the option to either repay the bondholder's principal or provide them with the number of shares specified by the bond's conversion rate.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Below are answers to some of the most common questions investors have about convertible bonds.
However, investors can gain portfolio exposure to the convertible bond market by investing in a convertible bond-themed ETF like the iShares Convertible Bond ETF (ICVT) or the SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Convertible Securities ETF (CWB).
What Sorts of Companies Offer Convertible Bonds?
Convertible bonds are most often issued by companies that have less-than-ideal credit ratings but high growth potential. This may include startups and younger, highly leveraged companies in growth phases.
What Is a Conversion Premium?
The amount by which a convertible bond's price exceeds the present value of the shares it can be converted into is known as its conversion premium.
What Is Convertible Bond Parity?
Convertible bond parity occurs when the value of a convertible bond is equal to the present value of the shares it can be redeemed for.
Are Corporate Bonds Callable?
Many corporate bonds are callable, meaning the issuing company can "call" and redeem the bond before it matures. When this occurs, the issuer returns the bondholder's principal, and interest payments cease.

Is Balakrishna Helping This Heroine Once Again?
Honey Rose, a Malayalam actress, gained recognition among Telugu audiences through her film "Veerasimha Reddy." However, her prominence in Telugu cinema seemed to have waned over time. Despite that, she made a lasting impression on Telugu viewers during her stint in the film industry.
It was with her role in "Veerasimha Reddy" that Honey Rose introduced herself to Telugu audiences, and she garnered attention with her performance. She played a significant role in the film, even though Shruti Hassan was the lead actress. However, despite her popularity in this role, Honey Rose did not seem to have made a long-lasting impact on the Telugu film industry.
Now, Balakrishna, is considering giving Honey Rose another opportunity in Telugu cinema. Balakrishna is known for his generous spirit, and he is planning a special guest role for Honey Rose in his upcoming film. The details of this film, including its plot, are still shrouded in suspense.
Balakrishna is currently working on the film "Bhagavanth Kesari," where Honey Rose is not part of the cast. However, she might receive another chance to collaborate with Balakrishna in the near future. Balakrishna has a big heart, and if everything falls into place, Honey Rose could potentially have a significant role in one of his upcoming projects. We will have to wait and see how things develop.
As of now, Balakrishna is actively involved in the film "Bhagavanth Kesari." Whether or not Honey Rose gets another opportunity in his subsequent films remains uncertain. Her future in Telugu cinema may largely depend on Balakrishna's choices and her ability to secure appealing roles.

Indicator Phrasing
INDICATOR PHRASING: Number of in-depth campaign, prayer or lifestyle actions taken as a response to your intervention and that of allies where you have played a catalytic role
What is its purpose?
Indicates reach and depth of campaigning and movement building through counting the number of in-depth campaign, prayer or lifestyle actions taken as a response to your intervention and that of allies where you have played a catalytic role. Depending on your context, actions could include that people: write to an elected government representative or government official, go on a march, volunteer at a campaign event, eat less meat, reduce food waste, fit a solar panel, speak in church, participate in social action or a justice group at their church, or start a community sustainability project. Participants opting in to events that you host, facilitate or speak at, including online.
How to Collect and Analyse the Required Data
Keep a tally using a database or a simple spreadsheet. If actions are online there may be online tools that can track numbers for online data such as numbers of participants at online events or seminars.
In contexts where exact data is difficult to collect, you could estimate the total number of campaign actions by extrapolating from 'spot checks' or from information that is more easily obtained. For example, if you encouraged a church congregation of 100 people to take a lifestyle action, then it may be reasonable to assume that at least 10% of people would have gone on to take at least one lifestyle action. You could therefore count 10 actions, without having to verify this with each person attending. Another option would be to ask for a show of hands at the end of the service and count the number of people pledging to take a particular action, and then assume that at least half the people would go on to do that action. So if 30 people say they will make a particular lifestyle change (for example, eat less meat), you can assume that at least 15 people go on to do so, and count 15 in-depth actions. (Note that these percentages are just examples; you will need to come up with your own estimates based on what is reasonable in your context.)
Disaggregate by
This indicator is not usually disaggregated.
Important Comments
This indicator counts the number of actions taken, not the number of individuals who take action. This means that one individual could take more than one in-depth campaign action; for instance, attending more than one event. The main reason for counting actions, not individuals who take action, is that it tends to be much easier to count the actions taken, than to try and identify which individuals have taken more than one action and filter those out.
This indicator does not count the number of actions you, your partners and allies take - rather, it counts the number of actions that other people took in response to your activities. It also does not simply count the number of people you communicated to as part of your campaign, but only the number of actions that those people went on to do. For example, if you speak at a church with 100 people attending, you cannot count this as 100 actions unless those people actually took an action in response. (As noted above, where it is not possible to count such follow up actions, you can provide a reasonable estimate.) If, as a result of the service, 20 people start attending a social justice group, then that counts as 20 in-depth actions. If those same 20 people also each write to their local government, that counts as a further 20 in-depth actions, so 40 in total. (As noted above, if one person takes two separate in-depth actions, that counts as 2 in-depth actions even though they were done by one individual.) | eng | 6ca8e1dd-6e87-455a-bd72-4e5a9e93f7eb | https://tearfund.indikit.net/indicator/3822-in-depth-campaign-actions |

Abstract
CO2 emissions from the steel industry are amongst the most difficult to abate, since carbon is used as a stoichiometric reducing agent in most steel mills. This carbon ends up as a CO/CO2 mixture in the steel mill gases, which are combusted to generate heat, electricity, and more CO2. Strategies to capture and store (CCS), utilize (CCU) or avoid CO2 in steel production exist, but are highly dependent on the availability of renewable electricity for the production of low-carbon H2. Steel mill gas contains energy, and can thus be re-used more easily than combustion gas or process gas from the cement industry. In this study, we evaluate several strategies to reduce CO2 emissions in the steel industry and rank them according to their renewable electricity requirement. We propose the following steps: (1) shut down the steel plant's power plant, since it produces electricity with a carbon intensity that is even higher than coal-based power plants; (2) replace steel mill gas with natural gas to generate heat within the steel mill; (3) recover the reducing gases, H2 and CO, from the steel mill gases: e.g., using pressure swing adsorption to obtain a H2-rich stream from COG, and sorption-enhanced water gas shift to obtain a H2-rich stream and a pure CO2 stream from BFG and BOFG; (4) the recovered H2 converts some of the CO2 to methanol, excess CO2 is stored. The proposed CCUS scenario can retrofit existing infrastructure, uses proven technology and reduces CO2 emissions by 70% for a marginal renewable electricity demand. Other energy-intensive alternatives have the potential to reduce CO2 emissions by 85%, but require an order-of-magnitude more renewable electricity | eng | 83b7c6d4-ba04-413e-be82-49ef2ec29252 | https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2020/EE/d0ee00787k |

Partial Loss
Table of Contents
What Does Partial Loss Mean?
A partial loss refers to damage to an insured property that is not total, meaning that it does not prevent the property from performing its function nor does the damage exceed the coverage limit of the insurance policy.

Insuranceopedia Explains Partial Loss
There are two types of losses in the context of policy insurance: total and partial.
Total loss is further subdivided into two types: actual and constructive. An actual total loss occurs when the property is totally destroyed, such as when a fire has obliterated a house and rendered it entirely inhabitable. A constructive total loss happens when the property is not totally damaged but can no longer function as it is supposed to. It may also occur when the cost of repairs exceeds that of the insurance.
There are also two types of partial loss: partial average loss and general average loss. A fire that destroyed a room but not the entire house would fall under partial average loss. General average loss, on the other hand, is a voluntary loss but one that is taken on in order to save the property, for example, hosing down a room to put out a fire | eng | 6b482e56-c67f-4512-8822-8ab333b4adf3 | https://www.insuranceopedia.com/definition/440/partial-loss |

A charity is a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to serving a specific cause or group of people in need. Charities operate with the primary objective of making a positive impact on society and addressing various social, environmental, or humanitarian issues. These organizations rely on the generosity of individuals, corporations, and government grants to fund their activities and fulfill their missions.
Charities can focus on a wide range of causes, including poverty alleviation, education, healthcare, environmental conservation, animal welfare, disaster relief, and many others. They aim to improve the well-being and quality of life for individuals, communities, and even the planet as a whole.
Key features of charities include:
Mission and Vision: Charities have a clearly defined mission and vision statement that outlines their purpose, goals, and the specific cause they are addressing. This mission acts as a guiding principle for all their activities.
Nonprofit Status: Charities are typically registered as nonprofit organizations, meaning that any surplus funds they generate are reinvested back into their programs and initiatives rather than being distributed as profits to individuals.
Voluntary Contributions: Charities rely on the generosity and support of individuals, corporations, and philanthropists who make monetary donations, provide resources, or offer their time as volunteers to further the organization's cause.
Programs and Services: Charities develop and implement various programs and services to address the specific needs of their target beneficiaries. These can range from direct assistance, such as providing food, shelter, or medical care, to long-term initiatives like education and skills development.
Advocacy and Awareness: Charities often engage in advocacy work to raise awareness about the issues they tackle, lobby for policy changes, and promote public support and understanding for their cause. They act as catalysts for change by influencing public opinion and driving systemic improvements.
Accountability and Transparency: Charities are expected to maintain high standards of accountability and transparency in their operations. They are required to provide financial reports and disclose how their funds are utilized, ensuring that donors have confidence in their work.
Impact Measurement: Charities strive to measure and evaluate the impact of their programs and initiatives. By monitoring outcomes and assessing the effectiveness of their interventions, they can continuously improve their strategies and maximize their positive influence.
Overall, charities play a crucial role in addressing societal challenges and supporting vulnerable populations. Their dedication, compassion, and relentless efforts contribute to building a more equitable and sustainable world. | eng | 41400f59-2b41-4648-bc14-0cd610dc962d | https://samanwaya.ca/aenean-vulputate-eleifend-tellus-aenean-leo-ligula/ |

Valley arm merging into Ares Vallis
This image was taken by the HRSC on board Mars Express from an altitude of 350 kilometres. North is up.
The image shows a ten-kilometre-wide valley arm merging into Ares Vallis from the west. Ares Vallis is one of several big outflow channels on Mars in this region that formed billions of years ago. Many surface features suggest that erosion of large water flows had carved Ares Vallis in the Martian landscape. Most likely gigantic floods ran downhill, carving a deep canyon into Xanthe Terra. Rocks eroded from the valley flanks were milled into smaller fractions and transported in the running water.
Large amounts of water originating from Aram Chaos (outside the image) joined the northward running stream of Ares Vallis through this valley arm. Fan-shaped deposits on the valley floor are the remnants of landslides at the northern flanks. | eng | f954ae35-b9da-4e9a-a09e-07414052773e | https://sci.esa.int/web/mars-express/-/37529-valley-arm-merging-into-ares-vallis |

Valentine's Day is overrated and you can't change my mind
Making one day a year the day you're supposed to show how much you love someone--with a paper card and a bundle of dying flowers.
These are the reasons that Valentine's Day has never been appealing to me. Yes, before you ask, I am definitely, 100% single and have been for a long time. Does that make me biased? Probably. But I can assure you that I disliked this made-up holiday before it was cool... *finger guns*.
Frankly, I refuse to acknowledge it exists--except for the possibility of half-off candy the next day. I know I'm not breaking new ground by saying Valentine's Day is a hoax, but for some of you I'd like to explain why.
It's neither practical nor logical
Look at the Target ad to the right. Perfume, roses, heart-shaped accessories, jewelry, candy: obviously, Target seems like the one-stop shop for all your V-day needs. But who really needs these things? Do you need jewelry every year to feel loved? Do you need waxy containers of milk chocolate going stale in the cupboard?
All of those material things are utterly pointless in the scheme of things. Yeah, they might make you feel special and spoiled for a couple hours, but unless your gift is actually thoughtful and premeditated, I'd wager most of those items just end up in landfills--polluting the soil with cheap dyes and polyester, or clogging our waterways. In the end, it's more of your money going down the drain on artificial symbols of your romantic commitment to another person.
Yeah, I might be a little cynical. Bear with me.
Most companies take advantage of every holiday they can, shoving the next themed product into our faces immediately after the climax of the last holiday. Sales teams find the most relevant topic and push, push, push. To me, V-Day is one of the most irritating, probably because after Christmas and New Year's I'm all holidayed-out. I don't want to see ads. I don't want to buy any more things. I just want to hibernate by myself for the rest of the winter.
I also don't find any significant meaning to Valentine's Day because of its origins: violent Roman rituals, beheadings, and then Hallmark capitalizing on it all in 1913. Here's NPR's short history on it.
I've never been a fan of cutesy and/or tacky colors like pink and purple. Valentine's Day is all about them, but more often it's red: romance, hearts, sex. Part of a marketing team's job is to study their audience's psychology and behaviors, and over time researchers like Small Biz Trends have learned that the color red:
Creates a sense of urgency (which works well for clearance sales)
Encourages appetite (think of all the fast-food chains, what colors are in the logos?)
Stimulates the body by raising blood pressure and heart rate (which is why red is associated with movement, excitement, and passion).
Obviously, Valentine's Day is not the only day where corporations take advantage of the human psyche, but it's definitely another sales tactic I don't want to fall for and waste money on.
It's eco-destructive
Remember what I mentioned about all those valentine gifts and products polluting the environment? Yeah, it's a big deal, and there's a lot more to it than you might think.
Sourcing precious metals and gems for jewelry, especially gold and diamonds, can have terrible costs. One example from ResearchGate: "to source the gold needed to create one 18 karat ring results in at least 18 tons of metric waste being left behind. This waste often contains toxic residues such as mercury or cyanide that can lead to the local environment being poisoned, as was recently the case...in Colorado."
What about chocolate? It'll leave a bitter taste in your mouth. The same article from ResearchGate states that "cocoa farming has led to deforestation and the destruction of habitats," as "more than three quarters of protected areas in the Ivory Coast...have been turned into illegal cocoa bean farms." The article also mentions how the chocolate industry has become notorious for child slave labor, with corporations like Nestle getting into deep trouble.
And think twice about buying those roses. Over 65% of the cut-flowers sold in the US are imported, and one-fifth of the pesticides used overseas are banned in America. Pesticides are used much more heavily on flowers than on food crops, so you can imagine the negative impacts this industry has on its workers and even those purchasing the flowers. This post at World Resources Institute goes into further detail, the detrimental effects of JUST the cut-flower industry (floriculture), including fresh water scarcity, food insecurity in developing countries, toxic chemicals and pesticides, land use and degradation, air-miles, and its overall carbon footprint.
It's reinforcing harmful cultural norms
How often do you see ads with same-sex couples? Mixed-race couples?
Why are most of the products marketed only as gifts for men to buy for women? Why is it frowned upon if your significant other can't afford to take you out to a 5-star restaurant?
Why does everything have to be about sex? How many smelly chemicals are we going to coat ourselves with to make us more appealing? How many unsatisfied partners have learned to keep their mouth shut and go along with it, "because it's Valentine's Day"?
Why are we made to feel so terrible about being single--on this particular, random day during the second month of every year?
Not to mention that I completely disagree with the fact that we are making one day a year the most important, just one day where you're supposed to express how much you love someone. No amount of candy or roses or fancy dinners or lengthy Facebook posts can convince me that someone is truly, deeply in love with me. That's not how things work.
"You know what's romantic? Buying the person you love something special that you know they will love for no damn reason, out of nowhere — because that day you happened to see something that made you think of them, or that you knew would make them smile, and you wanted to give it to them.
"Romance is meeting you at the car when you get home with the groceries so you don't have to lug them inside by yourself...It's your sig-O picking you a flower from the side of the path when you're hiking in the woods and putting it in your hair...not grabbing a dozen cellophane-wrapped wilting red roses sitting in a bucket of gray water at your local grocery store amid a clump of identical charmless bouquets.
"It's giving you a ring — as in a phone call during the day just to say she's thinking of you. Not going into debt to buy you something sparkly to prove how much he loves you."
In conclusion: love your person and cherish your person, even if that's yourself, always and year-round. And don't cave to cheap gimmicks or social "norms" that usually cause more harm than happiness.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to the gym so I can run off my exasperation. Peace! | eng | 8a307096-b35d-40c7-93c7-2a0228c205e7 | https://www.jessays.net/post/2019/01/05/valentines-day-is-overrated-and-you-cant-change-my-mind |
What is an Eikaiwa? Jobs, Teaching in Japan, Salary & More
A universal language is spoken and understood by the majority of the people around the world. While more people speak Chinese than English, most Chinese speakers are Chinese. Only a handful of people from other nationalities use Chinese as their main language of communication. That's where teaching English in Japan, specifically, an Eikaiwa can come in.
Teaching English in an Eikaiwa
On the other hand, English knows no boundaries since the language is spoken by nearly all nationalities around the world. In fact, English classes are mandatory in many countries and one of these countries is Japan.
But some people may ask, if English classes are mandatory in Japan, how come a lot of Japanese still struggle to speak the language?
Well, let's take a look at English teaching in Japan in an Eikaiwa so we'll know the answer.
English Teaching in Japan in an Eikaiwa
English classes are mandatory for Japanese students in primary school. To be specific, English classes are compulsory for students in the 5th grade and above since April 2011. Since tests are conducted to check the level of understanding, the students tend to focus more on passing the test rather than really understanding the language.
In this situation, fluency is not the priority among the students. Despite this, there are still some students who are quite interested in improving their English skills. These students see the importance of being able to carry a conversation in English.
Since they aren't able to get what they need from the traditional educational system, they turn to English conversation schools known as the Eikaiwa.
What is an Eikaiwa?
If translated directly from Japanese, the word Eikaiwa means English language conversation. With this in mind, Eikaiwas are schools where Japanese students learn to have an English conversation. The students who attend these schools along with their parents recognize the importance of learning how to speak English properly and hold a conversation in the language.
Even as students enroll in an Eikaiwa to improve their conversational English skills, they also get to improve their grammar skills since the schools also include it in their curriculum.
These schools are privately-owned and act as a supplement to the public education system. If you want to work in public schools, consider a company like Interac. There are bigger schools with branches located in different towns and cities in Japan. There are also smaller schools offering the same services in one specific location in Japan.
Eikaiwa teachers are typically native English speakers. They come from English-speaking countries, such as the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia.
Class sizes can range from just one single student to a class of a dozen or so students. The ages of the students also vary. They range from young children up to elderly individuals.
Now that you know what an Eikaiwa is, let's talk about working in one.
What are the Most Popular Companies?
This list can certainly change from year to year as companies expand and others go out of business. However, in 2020, the biggest private language institutes in Japan include the following options:
Bertlitz
Coco Juku
Aeon
Gaba
ECC
They are known as the "Big 5."
Teaching ESL in an Eikaiwa
Working as an Eikaiwa Teacher
If you're interested in working in an Eikaiwa, here are some things to think about before you you're your final decision in joining these English conversation schools in Japan:
Working in an Eikaiwa is unlike working in a regular school since the students themselves are interested in learning. This makes your job to motivate your students easier.
Eikaiwas can either be a small one where the teacher works in one location or a big one that sends the teachers to different locations in Japan. One of the most coveted positions for teachers is in Okinawa.
If you're working for an Eikaiwa that sends teachers to different locations, you'll likely stay in these locations for nine weeks or more. You should also make sure to bring all your tools and materials in case they aren't available at your assigned location.
Since these companies aim to improve the English skills of the students, the students are asked to make a simple speech to showcase what they learned in their Eikaiwa classes.
As an Eikaiwa teacher, you'll teach around six hours each day for five days each week. Sometimes it may be a block whereas some companies may require a split shift.
While these things may be appealing to anyone looking to teach in Japan, it's best for us to look at the advantages and disadvantages of working as an Eikaiwa teacher.
Advantages and Disadvantages of working in an Eikaiwa
The following are the advantages and disadvantages of working as an Eikaiwa teacher:
Advantages
The following are some advantages of working in an Eikaiwa:
As indicated above, one advantage of teaching at an Eikaiwa is the students are eager to learn English. This makes it easier for you as a teacher to motivate your students once the class starts.
The working hours are more flexible compared to a regular corporate job or even a regular teacher's job. This gives you time to pursue your passions outside your classes.
Eikaiwas normally start classes in the afternoon, which is ideal for people who aren't early risers.
Class sizes are small, which makes it easy for the teacher to manage the class.
If you love travelling, working for a chain of Eikaiwas will be to your advantage. These companies normally expect teachers to work in different locations depending on the need for each location.
You'll also have the chance to be creative in teaching English conversation and grammar skills to your students in an Eikaiwa since the state does not dictate how the course is taught.
Disadvantages
The following are some disadvantages of working in an Eikaiwa:
Even if most of the students are eager to learn English, some young students may be nervous and may require some prodding to practice speaking.
While a flexible schedule is ideal for Eikaiwa teachers living in the city, the same cannot be said for Eikaiwa teachers in rural areas. They normally have limited options when it comes to activities outside of work.
Eikaiwas normally have classes on Saturdays, which means the weekends of Eikaiwa teachers will not be regular. They may end up resting on Sunday and Monday and will have to forego any Friday night activities.
Even as Eikaiwa teachers are paid better, some companies only pay the teachers for class time and don't include the time they take to write reports.
If your class is made up of small children, your class management skills will be put to a test, especially if you have a class of 12 children. But consider yourself lucky if your Eikaiwa doesn't offer classes to children.
Working as an Eikaiwa Teacher
Even as the advantages and disadvantages of working as an Eikaiwa teacher balance each other out, some people may find it fulfilling to work as one. The intimate setting of an Eikaiwa gives teachers the chance to motivate their students to learn and encourage them to participate.
Sure, you may encounter challenges when teaching young children or you may have some objections to your workload, but in the end, seeing your students learn something from you is quite gratifying as a teacher.
With this in mind, if you are a teacher by heart, you'll likely find working in an Eikaiwa a dream come true. Aside from getting paid well and getting the chance to go around Japan, you'll also have a feeling of fulfillment once your students demonstrate what they learned from you.
Teaching in an Eikaiwa
Should I Work in an Eikaiwa?
Deciding whether to work in an Eikaiwa (English conversation school) is a personal choice that depends on your preferences, career goals, and individual circumstances. Here are some points to consider when making your decision:
Teaching Environment
Eikaiwas provide a structured teaching environment with an established curriculum and resources. Consider if you prefer a structured approach to teaching and if you enjoy working with a variety of students, including children, teenagers, and adults.
Work Hours and Schedule
Eikaiwa positions often involve working evenings and weekends to accommodate students' availability. Determine if the work schedule aligns with your preferences and lifestyle. Some Eikaiwas also offer part-time or full-time positions, so consider what suits your needs best.
Curriculum and Materials
Eikaiwas typically provide lesson plans, textbooks, and teaching materials, which can be beneficial for less experienced teachers or those who prefer having structured resources. If you prefer flexibility in designing your own lessons, an Eikaiwa may not be the ideal choice.
Professional Development Opportunities
Research the Eikaiwa's policies on professional development and training. Some Eikaiwas offer training programs, workshops, or opportunities for career advancement. Consider if the Eikaiwa provides the level of support and professional growth opportunities you desire.
Salary and Compensation
Research the salary range and compensation package offered by the Eikaiwa. Compare it with the cost of living in the area where you will be working. Consider if the salary aligns with your financial goals and expectations.
Reputation and Reviews
Read reviews and gather information about the Eikaiwa from current or former employees. This can give you insights into the work environment, management, and overall satisfaction of teachers working there.
Personal Teaching Style
Consider your preferred teaching style and whether it aligns with the teaching methods and approach used by the Eikaiwa. If you prefer a more student-centered, interactive teaching style, ensure that the Eikaiwa's approach is compatible with your methodology.
Alternative Options
Explore other teaching opportunities, such as public or private schools, online teaching platforms, or freelance tutoring. Consider if these alternatives may better align with your preferences and teaching goals.

Happy Easter and Happy Resurrection are both appropriate greetings during the Easter season. The holiday of Easter is celebrated in many different ways all around the world, with different customs and traditions.
Easter is the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, making Happy Resurrection a common greeting for many Christians and others during the Easter season. Similarly, Happy Easter is typically used to express good wishes during the Easter season.
Both of these greetings are appropriate, no matter the religion or culture of those celebrating the Easter season.
Why are people saying happy Resurrection Day instead of happy Easter?
Happy Resurrection Day is a term used by some people to focus on the core message of Easter—the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. It reflects the idea that Christians should primarily remember the miraculous event associated with Jesus' death and resurrection, rather than the bunny, chocolate, and egg-centric activities that people often associate with Easter.
This phrase also acknowledges the historical root of Easter as a day of celebration of the resurrection. Finally, it allows people across denominations to celebrate the day, while avoiding any potential theological debates over the liturgical calendar and its timing.
Thus, by saying "Happy Resurrection Day" people are expressing an important part of their faith, while also not infringing on the sacred observance of other faith communities.
Is Resurrection Sunday the same as Easter?
No, Resurrection Sunday and Easter are not the same. While Easter is commonly celebrated on a Sunday, usually the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox, Resurrection Sunday is the specific Sunday that Christians commemorate the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his death on the cross.
Therefore, while Easter is an entire season lasting several weeks that commemorates the resurrection of Jesus, Resurrection Sunday is the specific day on which the resurrection is celebrated within this season.
Generally speaking, Easter emphasizes the celebration of spring and the renewal of life while Resurrection Sunday focuses specifically on the resurrection of Jesus as the ultimate act of restoration, reconciliation, and justification.
What do you say instead of happy Easter?
Instead of saying "Happy Easter", many people choose to say alternate phrases that are commonly used during the Easter season. Phrases like "He is Risen", "Happy Resurrection Day", "Easter Blessings", and "Christ is Risen" are all common alternatives to "Happy Easter" for those who celebrate the holiday as a religious or spiritual holiday.
Additionally, many people also choose to share non-traditional Easter phrases such as "Wishing You a Hoppy Easter", "Enjoy Your Baskets", and "Egg-cellant Easter" as a way to wish someone a happy and enjoyable Easter season.
How do you wish Resurrection Day?
I like to wish Resurrection Day with a heartfelt message of love and hope. This day symbolizes the ultimate victory of our Lord over death, and marks the beginning of a new life for us all – eternity in Heaven with Him.
May the risen Lord bring peace and joy to our hearts and homes. May we recognize his victory and overcome our weaknesses. May our hope and prayers reach out to a world so in need of new life. Celebrate this day with faith and joy, knowing nothing can separate us from the love of God!.
What is the resurrection message?
The resurrection message is the core belief of Christianity – the belief that Jesus of Nazareth was resurrected after his crucifixion, or "raised from the dead" by God. It is the central pillar of faith for many Christians, and is seen as a sign of Jesus' divine power and authority.
The resurrection message conveys the idea that Jesus died to pay the penalty for human sin, and that he was resurrected by God in order to reconcile humanity to himself. The bible teaches that Jesus' resurrection vindicated his sinless life and his teachings, and serves as a reminder that Jesus is both Lord and Savior.
It also teaches that Jesus is alive and will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. The resurrection is the cornerstone of Christianity, and those who accept Jesus as the risen Lord receive eternal life and hope.
What is a good sentence for resurrection?
A fitting sentence for resurrection could be "It is never too late to be reborn and start anew. " This speaks to the idea of being able to rise above challenging circumstances, no matter how difficult, to create a better version of oneself.
It suggests that we can always use a difficult experience as an opportunity for personal growth and transformation.
What is the promise of the resurrection?
The promise of the resurrection is one of the most significant beliefs of Christianity. It is the fundamental belief that Jesus died on a cross for the sins of humanity, was buried and then rose from the dead three days later, thereby triumphing over death.
This gives hope to believers, as it teaches them that death is not the end but that there is life after death. It promises hope, comfort, and assurance to believers by providing them with an eternal perspective.
It tells them that following the death of the body, their soul will live forever with Jesus in Heaven. It also affirms the belief in the power of God who can overcome any hardship. Ultimately, the promise of the resurrection serves to strengthen the faith of Christians, as it reminds them of the divine grace and love that God bestows upon us, and of His willingness to bring us into His eternal kingdom.
Is Happy Resurrection Day?
No, Happy Resurrection Day is not a recognized holiday. However, many Christians around the world observe Easter as the day they believe Jesus was resurrected. Easter can also be referred to as Resurrection Day.
Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon occurring on or after the vernal equinox. Many Christian denominations refer to Easter as Resurrection Sunday. On this day, many churches hold special worship services, such as Easter Sunday services, to celebrate Jesus' resurrection from the dead.
How do you congratulate someone on Easter holiday?
One way is to send them a card or an eCard with a thoughtful message. You could also give them a call or drop by their house to wish them a Happy Easter in person. If you are a crafty individual, you could make them a handmade card or a DIY gift.
If you are miles away, you could also send them a bouquet of flowers or a gift basket. Sharing a warm hug and smile will always make someone feel special, so no matter what, express your jubilant joy for the Easter season with your loved ones and show them how much you care.
Wishing them a very Happy Easter!.
What is an appropriate Easter greeting?
An appropriate Easter greeting is something that acknowledges the religious holiday while being inclusive and respectful to everyone celebrating. The most common Easter greeting is "Happy Easter," but there are many other ways to express your wishes for a happy Easter season.
Other ideas include "Wishing you a blessed Easter," "Hope your Easter is filled with joy," "Wishing you peace and happiness this Easter," "May your Easter be blessed with joy," and "Best wishes for a joyous Easter.
" Whatever message you choose to share, it should bring a lighthearted feeling and represent the spirit of the holiday season.
Which is correct Happy Easter or Happy Resurrection Day?
Both "Happy Easter" and "Happy Resurrection Day" are correct greetings to use during the Easter holiday season. The Easter holiday is celebrated in remembrance of the religious event of Jesus' resurrection and so either one of these greetings can be used.
"Happy Easter" is the more common phrase used as Easter also marks other cultural or traditional spring events, such as the beginning of a new season, as well as the celebration of life with the presence of family and friends.
Many people recognize both the religious significance of Easter with their greeting of "Happy Resurrection Day", as well as the more general cultural aspects of Easter with the classic phrase "Happy Easter".
Should I wish someone a happy Easter?
Yes, absolutely! Wishing someone a happy Easter is a great way to spread cheer during the holiday season. Depending on your relationship with the person, you can be as creative or formal as you'd like when sending your Easter wishes.
A simple "Happy Easter" is always appropriate, or you could choose to send a more heartfelt message that expresses how much they mean to you. Easter is a time to celebrate the joy of the season with family and friends and wishing someone a happy Easter is an excellent way to show them you care.
Do you say happy holiday for Easter?
Yes, it is appropriate to wish someone "Happy Holidays" to celebrate Easter! Easter is a major holiday, and it is a time of religious celebration and feasting. During this time, many people greet each other with "Happy Holidays" or "Happy Easter.

When the torque is maximum and minimum?
Answer: Torque is defined as τ = rF sin θ, where F is the force, r is the distance from the pivot that the force is applied, and θ is the angle between r and F. (b) The maximum torque occurs when θ is a right angle and sin θ = 1. (c) Zero (minimum) torque occurs when θ is zero and sin θ = 0.
What is torque in electric field?
The measure of force that causes an object to rotate about an axis is known as torque. Torque is a vector quantity and its direction depends on the direction of the force on the axis.
What is torque in magnetic field?
A magnetic field exerts a torque which tries to align the normal vector of a loop of current with the magnetic field. The size of the torque on a loop of current is torque = (# turns) * (current) * (loop area) * (mag field) * sin(theta) where theta is the angle between the magnetic field and the loop's normal vector.
When would the torque be at a maximum?
Torque Calculation
Note that the torque is maximum when the angle is 90 degrees. A practical way to calculate the magnitude of the torque is to first determine the lever arm and then multiply it times the applied force.
Related guide for What Is The Torque On A Dipole In An Electric Field?
Which case torque on the dipole is I Maximum II minimum?
Case 1: When Ɵ is 900 then Torque is maximum and is equal to pE which means the dipole moment should be perpendicular to the direction of the uniform electric field E. Case 2: When Ɵ is 00, then Torque is minimum.
For what angle of inclination the torque on a dipole in an electric field be maximum?
So Torque is maximum on Dipole if angle between P amd E is 90 degree.
How does torque on the dipole in uniform field depends on its orientation?
Electric dipole will experience a torque when dipole vector is not parallel to electric field direction. The torque τ = p × E = pESinθ. when p and E are parallel then angle θ between the two vectors is zero, hence there will not be any torque.
How do you calculate torque on a dipole?
τ = (q E sinθ) d = q d E sinθ
Since 'qd' is the magnitude of dipole moment (p), and the direction of dipole moment is from positive to negative charge; torque is the cross product of dipole moment and electric field.
How do you calculate minimumWhen the torque experienced by an electric dipole is maximum and minimum?
When an electric dipole moment is kept in an electric field, force acts on both charges in a dipole. The force acting on the charges acts as a couple and the dipole experiences a torque. The torque is maximum when it makes [90^o] with the electric field, which is the most unstable position.
What is the minimum value of torque?
The torque is minimum refers to zero torque. This is possible only when the angle is 90 or perpendicular.
Where is the electric field the maximum in a dipole?
When the angle between the dipole moment and electric field is 180° then the potential energy of electric dipole is maximum.
Does an electric dipole always experience a torque in electric field when is the torque on the electric dipole maximum and minimum in uniform electric field?
Maximum torque acts on a dipole when the angle between P and E is maximum i.e. θ=90∘and its minimum when θ=0∘ in a uniform electric field.
What is the angle between the electric dipole moment and the electric field strength?
Therefore, the angle between dipole moment and electric field is 180°.
What is the value of angle between electric dipole and electric field for minimum torque?
The dipole is in constant equilibrium if θ = 00. A dipole in stable equilibrium, when Electric filed and dipole moment are perpendicular to each other i.e. the angle between them is zero degrees and torque will be maximum.
Which produces the largest torque?
For all cases the magnitude of the applied force is the same. the force that is at 90° to the lever arm is the one that will have the largest torque.
What is torque in physics class 12?
Torque is the measure of the force that can cause an object to rotate about an axis. Hence, torque can be defined as the rotational equivalent of linear force. The point where the object rotates is called the axis of rotation. In physics, torque is simply the tendency of a force to turn or twist.
What will be the torque acting on a dipole if it is placed parallel to the electric field?
In case the electric dipole gets parallel or antiparallel to the electric field then the torque will be zero.
How the torque and net force affected when the same dipole is placed in non uniform electric field?
When an electric dipole is placed in a non uniform electric the net force on the dipole due to the electric field will be non-zero as well as the torques it experiences in the field will be non-zero.
What is maximum torque in induction motor?
So, when slip s = R2 / X2, the torque will be maximum and this slip is called maximum slip Sm and it is defined as the ratio of rotor resistance to that of rotor reactance. NOTE: At starting S = 1, so the maximum starting torque occur when rotor resistance is equal to rotor reactance.
What is maximum torque of motor?
This condition is possible when the value of the denominator shown below is equal to zero. Hence, the developed torque is maximum when the rotor resistance per phase is equal to the rotor reactance per phase under running conditions.
How do you calculate max rpm torque?
Find the peak speed of the motor or engine in rpm. It should be displayed on the nametag on the motor or equipment; if not, refer to the manufacturer's specifications. Calculate torque (T) using the formula T = 5,252 x horsepower/rpm.
What is peak torque in dc motor?
Peak torque is the motor's maximum torque it can output for a short period of time, typically for acceleration/deceleration or overcoming friction. Our motors are rated for 10% duty cycle and thus the peak torque is 3.1 times the continuous stall torque.
When the dipole is in stable equilibrium the magnitude of torque is?
Note: Stable equilibrium means the lowest potential energy at the equilibrium point. Therefore the stable equilibrium the torque should be zero and the potential energy of the dipole should be minimum. | eng | 7a296884-1e6e-4097-a72a-2a4cf537a2d1 | https://blogmeyeube.com/what-is-the-torque-on-a-dipole-in-an-electric-field/ |

Common denial of services that you need to know about
January 22, 2021
0 265 2 minutes read
When the IP stresseris used for denial of services, it is best that you know the types which are available. First, you should understand the categories of denial of service attacks before. They include the following:
The application layer attacks
They normally go for the application of the web, and most of the time, use great sophistication. The attacks tend to exploit the protocol of layer 7 weakness which is stack by the connection that is establishing with target, then having to exhaust the server resources through the process of monopolizing transaction. They are hard to mitigate and identify with a common example being HTTP flood attack.
Protocol based attacks
It focuses on having to exploit a weakness in the layer 3 and layer 4 of the stack protocols. Such attacks might consume the capacity of processing of the victim or else, resources that are critical like a firewall, which then results in disruption of service. The ping of death and sync flood are some of the examples.
Volumetric attacks
They send a high volume of traffic to saturate the bandwidth for the victim. The volumetric attacks are normally very easy in generating through using techniques that are amplified and thus, the common attack forms. UDP floods NTP amplification, TCP flood, and the DNS amplification are a few of the examples.
The common attacks of denial of service
The goal of DDoS or DoS is to ensure that it consumes enough network or server resources to ensure the system gets unresponsive to the requests which are legitimate.
Syn flood: It is a SYN request succession that is directed to the system that is targeted, attempting to overwhelm it. The attack does target the sequence of TCP connection exploits which is referred to as handshake of 3-way.
HTTP floods:It is an attack type where the HTTP POST or the GET requests are utilized in attacking the web server.
UDP Flood: It is type of attack where ports that are random on the target get overwhelmed by the IP booters which contain the datagrams of the UDP.
The ping of death: The attacks involve sending of IP packets deliberately, larger than the ones which are allowed by the protocol of IP. The IP/TCP deals of fragmentation deals with larger packets through having to break them done in smaller packets of IP. If the packets happen to be larger when placed together, then tend to be larger than the 65536 bytes that are allowed, with the legacy servers having to break most of the time. It is something which can be fixed in the modern systems. Ping flood is the incarnation in present day of the attack.
ICP protocol attacks: They are attacks happening on the IMCP protocol, taking advantage of the fact that, each of the request has to be processed by the server long before a response is able to be sent back. ICMP flood, smurf attack, and the ping flood is what takes advantage of the same through inundating the server with ICMP's requests without having to wait for a response. | eng | 74cd6da9-db54-4083-8d1e-49717e20ffac | https://densipaper.com/common-denial-of-services-that-you-need-to-know-about/ |

How fucking annoying is it when you feel so restless with creative energy but you can't decide what to do with it and when you finally try to create something it comes out shit so you just give up and sit there being all creatively annoyed and jittery.
1 - Decision Making Fatigue is a thing. --> Make a list of possibilities. --> Use a random number generator to pick something off the list. --> If you hate the idea cross it off and generate a new number. --> Continue until you either find a project or cross off the whole list. --> If you cross off the whole list pick a random short story prompt, write for five minutes, and call it a good work day.
3. When you're stressed you aren't unbiased about your work. --> Don't judge your work while your are actively working on it. --> Remember to drink water, take your meds/vitamins, eat something, and get sleep. --> Double-check to make sure the restless creative energy is not displaced emotional worries over something else. If it is, displace with intention and let the worries go into your work. You shouldn't keep stress in your head, put it on a page, or canvas, or in a carving, or a meal, or something. Get it out and let it go.
4. No work is ever wasted. --> All time spent planning and creating is useful in some way. --> Failure means you tried, which is good. --> Try again. Fail harder. Fail better. --> Keep going until you like what you're making.
5. Love yourself enough to allow yourself to not be perfect. --> Seriously. --> If this is a struggle I highly recommend seeing a doctor or therapist about depression. --> Because you are dang lovable, my friend. You rock. You do great things. I'm proud of you.
I hope this reaches every author on this site. If they haven't written a word in years, only are writing in their head and haven't put it down yet, are hip deep in their own War and Peace wordcount fic.

I was high off my ass last night and had this dream where I was in this dense ass forest and sitting there was a tall woman. She was so tall I couldn't see her face but she was wearing gold and I was like "uh…hi?" And she said "I made you, do you know that?" And I nodded and she was like "I hear your thoughts. Why do you hate my creation? Why do you try to destroy yourself? I made you perfect as you are. Please don't break my heart". Then she started crying and it flooded and I woke up with fucking heart palpitations like what does it Mean™️????

Another fun thing I do with customers - specifically parents of very small children who don't know they're alive yet - is directly imply I think the coffee is for the baby, not the parent. and lemme tell you, like 70% of parents eat that shit up. They immediately go along with the bit and start discussing it with their newborn child, while the baby just stares at us like 😮

I want to say that Black girls and women in fandoms are some of the strongest people in the world, but that in and of itself is microaggressive (I'm Black, but still). We put up with a lot of hate, icing out, misplaced jealousy and concern trolling, and that's even the case when Black female characters are treated well by the narrative, which they often are not. And yeah, we're still here and everything, but we deserve better.
Fandom is for enjoyment, not having to be the strongest toughest person in the room. I'm older now so I have the benefit of not giving nearly as much of a shit as I did in my early 20s, but I want more for the ones still finding themselves, trying to find community and make art about the things they love.

making posts about how beer tastes bad is a lot like that painting of a jester harassing a bunch of dogs while leaning over a wall, except the jester is below the dogs and trying so hard to reach them, and all the dogs are extremely beautiful and strong, and have a wonderful community built on love, and they never want for anything. they never want for anything.

1) You should assume good faith (good intentions, the most flattering interpretation of their speech) when taking with people, 2) it is normal to do so unless you have a serious, ongoing reason as to not do so, and 3) if you do not regularly approach people, especially strangers, in good faith during discussions, then that is a sign of something wildly unhealthy within your psyche.
4) You do have options to change how you think, 5) it will require work to train your brain to approach people sincerely and 6) you may have to stop hanging out in spaces that are toxic or destructive.
But, 7) by tempering your mind, 8) taking accountability for how your words harm others and 9) not hanging out in places that give you an addicting, self-righteous, sense of anger, 10) you can move towards having meaningful, adult, conversations, honestly and openly with others, 11) in such a way where social safety and kindness allows you to be intellectually curious, exploratory, and to grow.

those first couple weeks after escaping a time loop have gotta be disorienting as all fuck. all those little cues that used to tell you what's about to happen are now triggers that cause you to brace for something that isn't coming. you have to relearn the permanence of death -- hell, you have reacquaint yourself with the entire concept of finality altogether. everything keeps changing but it never changes back and you keep having to remind yourself that this is normal. "it won't reset anymore," you echo to yourself, over and over and over, like a broken record, like you're still trapped in a loop, like someone who escaped the time loop but was doomed to bring it into the future with them | eng | 435d97b3-6d08-4bca-80de-c386338ded19 | https://www.tumbex.com/yellowmarshmallows.tumblr/posts |

AeroWeather changes Windows Aero color by weather
AeroWeather is a fun application that sits in the background and retrieves the temperature or current weather conditions for your location, and then set the Windows Vista and 7 Aero color based on the temperature. Now before you proceed to the download page, let me tell you that the application only accepts US zip codes, so it's pretty much useless for non-US based users.
Once you have launched the application, punch in the zip code of your location, choose the regulator of the color type (temperature or weather condition) and the color range (from zero to 100). The temperature based color ranges between red and purple. When the temperature gets colder, the window color gets closer to purple and during hot seasons the window color shifts towards the reddish hue. If the color regulator is set on condition, the aero color takes a greyish look on cloudy days, blue if it's sunny, white if it's snowing, dark grey if it's raining, etc
Once you get familiar with the window color and the associated temperature and condition, you can gauge the outside condition by just glancing at the window border.
Besides changing color based on weather, AeroWeather has a night mode option that dims the aero colors automatically at night. The colors become less vibrant. The information on the time of sun set is retrieved from the weather server, based on your location.
AeroWeather is a neat utility but has some issues. The lack of support for location outside the US is a bugging one. AeroWeather will also not revert the window color to the initial configuration once you exit the program | eng | f8f27450-85ea-4184-8244-5e55ba30998e | https://www.instantfundas.com/2010/11/aeroweather-changes-windows-aero-color.html |

6 Female Artists Who Turned Modern Art On Its Head
These often overlooked women helped shape modern art around the world.

Despite their mastery and innovation of the arts, the visionary women of the modern art world are rarely discussed in mainstream histories.
"When you look at the way most art history [of the modernist era] has been written, if these women are mentioned, they're mentioned in passing," says Deborah Gaston, the director of education and digital engagement at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. "A lot of them are also involved with other artists who are part of that circle. It continues that narrative of them being followers instead of creative innovators in their own right."

To search all databases and collections, type your search term(s) (for example, "COVID-19") into the search box in the upper right-hand corner (1) of the home page, and click on the icon (2) or hit Enter. The results will be organized in tabs by database or type of evidence: systematic reviews, trials, etc.
Database Features
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews
The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) is the leading journal and database of systematic reviews in health care. It includes systematic reviews (1), as well as protocols (2), editorials (3), and supplements.
Systematic reviews attempt to answer a carefully formulated research question according to pre-specified eligibility criteria by identifying, appraising, and synthesizing all available evidence. By synthesizing all of the available evidence, they provide a higher level of evidence compared with individual randomized controlled trials.
Protocols describe the proposed approach for conducting a systematic review. They include the research question of interest, and act as a public record of how review authors intend to answer the question.
Editorials analyze evidence in an attempt to stimulate discussion and promote good decision making in clinical care and health policy.
Cochrane Clinical Answers (CCAs)(B) summarize the results of a Cochrane Review in a short, easy-to-read, question and answer format. Since CCAs are written by clinicians for clinicians, the information of greatest interest to clinicians is made more accessible, with the aim of informing health care decisions.

the right line drawn through the two points of contact of the two tangents drawn from a given point to a given conic section. The given point is called the pole of the line. If the given point lies within the curve so that the two tangents become imaginary, there is still a real polar line which does not meet the curve, but which possesses other properties of the polar. Thus the focus and directrix are pole and polar. There are also poles and polar curves to curves of higher degree than the second, and poles and polar planes to surfaces of the second degree

How To Calculate Integral With Defined Limits?
No doubt the education technology has made it very much facilitating for the students globally. But
still, now many students face difficulties in getting various concepts regarding different subjects.
Mathematics, a ghost-like subject, is one such curriculum. A huge number of scholars are still unable
to get through mathematics the way they are supposed to. But they keep endeavoring for it for sure as
well. Some are also there who skip taking interest in mathematics just due to the complexity involved
in the subject topics.
Well, this all may sound like something disturbing to you, but we have very good news to announce in
this read. Yes, this is something that you people are going to get an advantage from. We are talking
about an online integration calculator by calculator-online.net. This advanced and well-programmed
online tool has provided a large number of scholars to get a firm grip over the calculations regarding
complex integral problems. How does it sound to you?

integral manually or with the assistance of an online integration calculator. Stay with it!
What Is An Integral?
A mathematical object that may be viewed as an area or a generalization of the area in calculus is
called an integral. Integrals and derivatives are the two most basic objects in calculus. Antiderivative
and primal are two more terms for integral. You can calculate integral nowadays with the assistance
of an online antiderivative calculator with a few clicks.
Types of Integrals:
Basically, there are two major types of integrals that could also be simplified by using a free online
indefinite integration calculator. These include:
●
Indefinite Integral
● Definite Integral

The Forbes Simulachres
How does one account for the differences seen between modern Dances of Death and their historical antecedents? At Cambridge University's 1929 Linacre Lecture, Dr. Peyton Rous (1879-1970, 1966 Nobel Laureate) delivered a presentation titled The Modern Dance of Death, in which he suggested that modern medical diagnostics and treatments contributed significantly to the idea that people could oppose death on many fronts. Dr. Rous wrote, "One sees that people know how often his activities can be deferred, that men no longer have such bitterness as would lead them to find satisfaction in his ravages."[1]
The fact that advanced medical care exists, however, does not mean that everyone has equal access to it. Human agency in the resistance of death resulted in the recognition by artists of human culpability in the deaths of others. This is most apparent during the early half of the 20th century in works that responded to World Wars I and II. Artists of the second half of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st began to draw enhanced attention to the detrimental impact of social and economic inequities. Didier Mutel's The Forbes Simulachres functions as a momento mori addressed to the individuals celebrated in the annual list of the world's richest people.

The Extent Of Intake Of Alcohol On Students' Academic Achievement In Tertiary Institutions In Nigeria
The Extent Of Intake Of Alcohol On Students' Academic Achievement In Tertiary Institutions In Nigeria
Chapter One
Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
(Adeyemo, 2007) opined that alcohol use has socioeconomic and sociocultural consequences for individuals in society, particularly students. It is offered and used at ceremonies, oaths, vows, celebrations, and other enjoyable activities. In the early years, it was used as a symbol of admiration and respect in the colonial era. Palm-wine tapped from oil-palm trees and raffia-palms was a popular alcoholic beverage in the south-east area. Okonkwo (2018) stated that, beginning in the fourteenth century, encounters between Europeans and the natives of eastern Nigeria, notably during the Atlantic slave trade period, primarily introduced a variety of alcoholic beverages, gin and tonic and whisky.
Alcohol. Alcohol (Adeyemo, 2007).
Awoyinfa, (2012) stated that heavy alcohol use may be linked to poor academic performance among postsecondary students. This habit has made its way into the Nigerian educational environment, where undergraduate students may be spotted drinking alcohol at pubs and restaurants, as well as other secluded spots a few meters away from school. Some of these youngsters spend the whole day at such venues, returning home only after school. Alcohol misuse, defined in the context of this study as the daily intake of 4 bottles of alcoholic drinks or more, has a wide range of social and health consequences for Nigerian students, who are the leaders of tomorrow. Alcohol misuse relates to students skipping class, failing examinations, quitting out owing to bad marks, and jeopardizing institutions' and universities' academic missions (Awoyinfa, 2012). Alcohol intake shortens colleges and universities' academic vision and may jeopardize their goal of shaping future citizens. Heavy drinking (binge drinking) can have a negative impact on an institution's overall academic performance. Alcohol consumption is a major public health issue because it has a negative impact on people's health, social, psychological, and economic outcomes. Tertiary education presents students with unique challenges, and some students turn to alcohol to help them deal with their problems (Awoyinfa, 2012).
The majority of people with alcohol disorders are between the ages of 18 and 29, which is also the age range of the majority of university students. Indeed, heavy alcohol use among tertiary institution students has been well documented, and many students adopt heavy-drinking habits for the first time during their first year at university. A certain proportion of university students had drinking problems or had experienced drinking-related consequences, as well as an increased risk of heavy episodic drinking. Given that university study is a challenge for many students, academic performance is an important factor in student drinking (Adeyemo, 2007).
Academic achievement is used to measure success in educational institutions. As career competition in the workplace becomes more intense, the importance of students doing well in school has captured the attention of both parents and employers. Education is not the only path to success in the workplace; much effort is expended in schools to identify, evaluate, track, and encourage students' progress. Parents are concerned about their child's academic achievement because they believe that good grades will lead to more career opportunities and job security. Academic accomplishment, often known as (academic) performance, is the end result of schooling. Academic achievement is frequently assessed through tests or continuous assessment, but there is no widespread consensus on how it should be examined or whether components of procedural knowledge, such as skills, or declarative information, such as facts, are more significant. Gender, age, teaching faculty, students' schooling, father/guardian social economic status, what they consume, students' residential area, medium of instruction in schools, tuition trend, daily study hour, and accommodation as hostelries or day scholars all have an impact on students' academic gain and learning performance.
Alcohol usage has a negative impact on some students and families by increasing the likelihood of dropouts and failing classes. On the other hand, some students understand how to mix their academic work with their social lives without negatively impacting their academic achievement (Odejide, & Ohaeri, 1994).
1.2 Statement of the Problem
(Adeyemo, 2007) observed that University administrators and officials are concerned about the link between problematic alcohol intake and poor academic achievement. Alcohol use has been linked to poor academic performance, and heavy drinking has been considered as a possible contributor to student dropout. Among the issues that university students typically face as a result of drinking are missing courses and poor academic performance. Heavy episodic drinkers are significantly more likely than non-heavy drinkers to claim that their drinking led them to miss class, get behind in their homework, and do poorly on tests or other academic projects.
Students who drink heavily can have positive blood alcohol levels the next day, affecting whether or not they get up for class and, if they do, the quality of how information is processed and eventually stored. Sleeping off after a buzz is a popular practice; however, it might disrupt the sleep cycle, resulting in an increase in anxiety, jumpiness, and irritability the next day, as well as exhaustion the next day. Although most people assume that alcohol hinders recall of events that occur when intoxicated, alcohol consumption has far-reaching consequences for memory and learning ability. In some circumstances, there is a strong correlation between problem drinking and academic achievement. Drinking can have an impact on young people's biological development as well as their academic achievement and conduct. Severe alcohol usage among adolescents has serious neurological repercussions (Odejide, & Ohaeri, 1994).
Alcohol misuse has physiological and psychological impacts on students, as it impairs their performance by affecting their cognitive abilities, which are affected by even tiny doses of alcohol and can last for a long time after the acute symptoms of alcohol impairment have faded. Alcohol, for example, may impair memory by decreasing the transmission and synchronization of information, as well as reducing students' capacity to remember material gained before to going out for drinks (Presley et al., 1996).
1.3 Objectives of the Study
The primary aim of this study is to assess the Extent Of Intake Of Alcohol On Students' Academic Achievement In Tertiary Institutions In Nigeria. Other objectives of this study are:
To determine the relationship between alcohol intake and academic achievement
To determine the factors that cause alcohol intake in students of tertiary institutions.
To examine the effect of excessive alcohol intake on academic achievement of students in tertiary institutions.
1.4 Research Questions
The following research questions will guide this research.
What is the relationship between alcohol intake and academic achievement?
What are the factors that cause alchol intake in students of tertiary institutions?
What are the effect of excessive alcohol intake on academic achievement of students in tertiary institutions?
1.5 Significance of the Study
This study will be beneficial to University administrators as the findings of the study will show the effects of alcohol intake on students academic achievement and thus will put effective policies in place to combat this scourge. This study will also be beneficial to students as the effects of excessive alcohol intake will be shown.
Finally, this study will be significant to scholars as it will serve as an existing material for further research and further reference.
1.6 Scope of the Study
This study will be focused on the Extent Of Intake Of Alcohol On Students' Academic Achievement In Tertiary Institutions In Nigeria. It will further look at the causes of alcohol intake in students of tertiary institutions and the effects it has on academic achievement. Students of the University of Jos, Plateau State serve as enrolled participants of this study.
1.7 Limitations of the Study
This study is limited to the Extent Of Intake Of Alcohol On Students' Academic Achievement In Tertiary Institutions In Nigeria, it will look at the causes and effects of alcohol on students academic achievement. It will not be looking at the challenges and thus will not be proffering solutions.
This study is limited to the University of Jos and as such the findings of this study cannot be used anywhere else until firther research is carried out.
1.8 Definition of Terms
Extent: the area covered by something
Alcohol:
A colourless volatile flammable liquid which is produced by the natural fermentation of sugars and is the intoxicating constituent of wine, beer, spirits, and other drinks, and is also used as an industrial solvent and as fuel.
Academic Achievement:
Describes academic outcomes that indicate the extent to which a student has achieved their learning goals.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are tertiary education students more likely to drink alcohol?
The results of this study are broadly in keeping with both Australian and international studies suggesting that tertiary education students, particularly males, have relatively high levels of risky alcohol consumption.
How does alcohol use affect academic performance?
They concluded that students who drink more alcohol maintain poor sleep patterns, which negatively affects academic performance. Aertgeerts and Buntinx (2002) examined the relationship of alcohol abuse among first-year students and their academic performance.
What is the relationship between drinking and academic demands?
Butler et al. (2011) examined the relationship between drinking and academic demands. "National surveys indicate that 40% of college students binge drink regularly, and the rate of binge drinking appears to be increasing". The results of this study suggest that students drank 38% less when they had an exam or paper due the next day.
Does alcohol consumption inhibit high school students' learning?
Despite a growing literature in this area, no study has convincingly answered the question of whether alcohol consumption inhibits high school students' learning. Alcohol consumption could be an important determinant of how much a high school student learns without having a strong impact on his or her decision to stay in school or attend college.

Not every pain killer is created equal. Find out the differences between common over-the-counter medications and discover what's really in your medicine cabinet.
Two Groups of Pain Medications are there: Over-the-counter medications fall into one of two groups. The first are known as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This group includes aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, and ketoprofen. Ibuprofen goes by the brand names Advil and Motrin. Naproxen is better known as Aleve. Ketoprofen is sold as Orudis. These drugs work by preventing your body from producing chemicals that cause fever and swelling. Doctors recommend them for minor to moderate discomfort due to headaches and muscle aches, colds and the flu, menstrual pain, arthritis, and toothaches.
The other category includes just one drug: acetaminophen. It's also known as Tylenol. No one is sure exactly how it works. One theory is that it keeps the brain's pain centers from receiving nerve signals. It's good for fever and mild to moderate pain from headaches, including tension headaches and migraines, as well as back pain, sore throat, arthritis, and shingles. The main difference between acetaminophen and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs is that acetaminophen does not reduce inflammation. That means it won't help with aches caused by swelling due to sports injuries, for example.
Some Warnings Regarding Pain Medication:
In general, each one of these drugs is safe for most people when taken as directed. There are some exceptions. Don't give aspirin to children or teenagers because it can cause Reye's syndrome, a rare life threatening condition. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs shouldn't be taken by people who have ulcers or take blood thinning drugs, or by pregnant women. Acetaminophen is usually okay for pregnant women looking for short-term pain relief. In addition, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs shouldn't be given to children under 12 without first consulting a doctor. While acetaminophen is considered to be safe for children, pay close attention to dosage. Acetaminophen overdose is a common cause of drug-related deaths in children and adolescents.
Choose a Pain Medication:
So with all these choices, how should you decide which over-the-counter pain medication is best for you? It partly depends on your symptoms. They all help with pain and fever, but since acetaminophen doesn't work for inflammation, you'll need to use one of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce swelling. Because people respond in different ways to each of these drugs, most doctors suggest that you stick with the one that has worked for you in the past. That increases the chances that the drug will be effective and lowers the odds that you will suffer any side effects.
So do you need a cabinet full of over-the-counter pain medications?Not really. You're probably better off with just the one or two that work best for you. And if you've inadvertently collected more than a couple different kinds, some of them have probably expired anyway. So it may be worth checking to see what you've got. And what you can toss out.
Natural and Ayurvedic Pain relief Medication is most of the time hermless and can be safely used even without consulting any one.The main advantage is that they have no side effect.
Many people turn to supplements to combat the persistent tiredness and flu like symptoms that characterize this poorly understood and disabling disorder. Although no one knows its cause, a weakened immune system may be a factor.
Symptoms
Continuing or recurring fatigue lasting at least six months and not relieved by sleep or rest.
Memory loss, inability to concentrate, headaches.
Low-grade fever, muscle or joint aches, sore throat, or swollen lymph nodes in neck or armpits.
When to Call Your Doctor Fatigue that lasts longer than two weeks or is accompanied by sudden weight loss, muscle weakness, or other unusual symptoms may signal other, more serious ailments.
Fatigue can be a side effect of certain medications. Your doctor can rule out other possible and often correctable causes.
Have your doctor monitor your progress even if you are improving or if fatigue worsens despite home treatment. Reminder: If you have a medical condition, talk to your doctor before taking supplements.
What It Is
Marked by profound and persistent exhaustion, chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) affects more women than men, most younger than age 50. Patients feel weak and listless much of the time and often have difficulty sleeping, concentrating, and performing daily tasks; many also have underlying depression. Doctors disagree about whether CFS is a specific condition or a group of unrelated symptoms not attributable to a single cause.
What Causes It
The specific cause of CFS is unknown, but an impaired immune response may play a role in its onset. People with CFS have other immune disturbances as well: About 65% are allergy sufferers (versus only 20% in the general population), and some have autoimmune disorders such as lupus, in which the immune system attacks the body's own healthy tissues.
How Supplements Can Help
Supplement therapy aims to restore a healthy immune system, so begin with vitamin C and carotenoids. A powerful immune enhancer, echinacea can be added to the mix; it can be alternated with the herbs astragalus, which has antiviral and immunity-enhancing effects, pau d'arco, which fights many microbes (especially the yeast infections so common in those with low immunity), or goldenseal. For muscle pain, use magnesium too.
What Else You Can Do
Try behavioral counseling and relaxation techniques, such as hypnosis or meditation, to manage stress and treat any underlying depression.
Get a good night's sleep. If needed, use supplements for insomnia, such as valerian, melatonin, or 5-HTP.
Mild aerobic exercise may be excellent for chronic fatigue syndrome, according to a recent study in the British Medical Journal. After a 12-week program of walking, swimming, or biking from 5 to 30 minutes a day, 55% of CFS patients felt "much" or very much better. Relaxation and stretching exercises may also work. But start and proceed slowly: If you do too much, you may suffer a setback. It may help to keep an energy diary-to record peaks and ebbs of energy-and plan your schedule around the times you routinely feel the best.
Pau d'arco
Dosage: 250 mg twice a day. Comments: Standardized to contain 3% naphthoquinones | eng | ef3dbd28-15fd-4d7a-9927-ea82748311e1 | https://findmeacure.com/tag/institute-of-medicine/page/2/ |
The Importance of Selecting Proper Bathroom Lighting
The Importance of Selecting Proper Bathroom Lighting
Bathroom lighting is critical. This is usually the first room we enter in the morning, setting the mood for the remainder of the day. It's also the room we enter when we are half asleep in the middle of the night.
Washing, putting on make-up, shaving, grooming, and taking medications are but a few of the daily routines in the bathroom. There is no other room in the home where optimizing both daylighting (natural outdoor light) and lighting (light bulbs) is more critical.
Daylighting is important for our overall health and emotions as it sets our circadian rhythms (how natural light affects and resets our biological clock and consciousness). Lighting is critical for our safety (80% of all falls for older adults occur in the bathroom) and personal grooming.
Daylighting
Nothing comes close to beating the warmth, beauty, and emotional value of windows and skylights. These brighten your mood helping you feel more refreshed and energized. They make a smaller bathroom look much bigger. They also have the added value of fresh air and help reduce moisture levels (high levels of moisture can create harmful levels of mold and bacteria and destroy your walls and ceilings).
Windows provide free, energy-efficient, cost-effective lighting and ventilation. They are actually good for you. It has been shown in several prominent studies that daily exposure to natural light can enhance mental and physical well-being, boost concentration and energy levels, and offer a variety of other unexpected perks.
Multiple windows allow for balancing the natural light, cross ventilation, and "opening" the bathroom to the outside. Larger windows can have bottom-up / top-down shades for privacy. Windows can also open in various combinations. Skylights, especially the tube type, offer tremendous opportunities for natural light in small spaces where a traditional window is not practical. A 10″ tube type skylight lets in at least 5-10 times more light than a typical 2×3 sliding bathroom window.
Lighting
Recess lights, especially LED, are terrific for adding task lighting in the general space, including the water closet. For most bathrooms, LED recess lighting on a dimmer is best. It's always better to "over light" and use dimmers to adjust. Never use fluorescent lights – the bathroom is not a warehouse.
A light over the tub and shower is ideal for providing both mood and grooming lighting. Shaving legs is so much easier when you have overhead lighting.
For vanity areas, wall sconces mounted either overhead or on the sides of the mirror are best. This removes shadowing on the face which makes applying makeup much easier and gives definition when applying lines. Combining both wall sconces and recess lights within the vanity area solves both the shadow and task concerns. Putting on makeup and doing your hair is much easier when combining the two.
Always use multiple switches and dimmers for lighting. This permits a vast array of possibilities for everyone who uses the bathroom. Everyone has different needs and the value of doing this cannot be over stressed.
An LED receptacle type photocell nightlight is perfect in the water closet. It's ideal when using the facility at night without having to turn on the bedroom lights – blinding you and waking your partner.
For LED lighting, the color temperature and lumens are very important. Temperature does not refer to degrees. Rather, it refers to the color – reddish to blue sky. Lumens refer to the amount of visible light or brightness. Compared to incandescent bulbs, LED lighting uses 70-90% less energy, saves an enormous amount of money over their life span, last up to 25 times longer (23 years or more), and helps to protect the environment. | eng | 507f3830-28fb-4899-9597-3b8b8f7c6fb1 | https://muhammadmukarram-llc.com/the-importance-of-selecting-proper-bathroom-lighting/ |

Hi Triet,
To record live streams they must be kept running.

The Secret Behind the Perfectly Toasted Subs at Jersey Mike's
Introduction
Jersey Mike's Subs is a popular American chain of fast-food restaurants that specialize in submarine sandwiches, commonly known as "subs." The restaurant franchised globally, and it is known for delivering quality subs that are made fresh, with high-quality ingredients. One of the key reasons why people keep coming back to Jersey Mike's is because of the taste of their perfectly toasted subs, which adds that extra bit of flavor and crunch.
At Jersey Mike's, the toasting method they use is seemingly unique, but it's credited for the top-quality taste of the subs. The reason why the sandwiches get perfectly toasted is due to the right type of grill, temperature, and timing that are used. As a customer, it will take you only a few seconds to know that the sub you purchased at Jersey Mike's is the real deal. It's a combination of high-quality ingredients and unique toasting techniques that will do the trick.
In this article, we will delve into the secret behind the perfectly toasted subs at Jersey Mike's.
The Philosophy behind the Subs
The Jersey Mike's franchise believes in using only the highest quality ingredients to craft the perfectly toasted sub. They believe that it is essential to use fresh vegetables, meats, and cheeses, to enhance the customer's experience. With this philosophy, customers are guaranteed to get high-quality ingredients with their meal, which is something that differentiates the franchise from other fast-food chains.
Grill Type
At Jersey Mike's Subs, they use a countertop grill, which is also known as a clamshell grill. The grill plays a significant role in the toasting of the subs. The grill has two plates that come together and heat up to provide heat to the sub, which ensures the ideal toasting process. The plates are made from industrial-grade materials that can withstand high temperatures and last longer than traditional grill plates.
Temperature & Timing
Aside from the grill, temperature is another critical aspect in the toasting of the subs. To attain the perfect toasted sub, the grill's temperature must be adjusted to specific levels, which is typically between 425°F to 475°F. This temperature ensures that the sub is toasted evenly and that it is not burnt.
The timing for toasting subs is also essential. Jersey Mike's staff is trained to know the exact time frame that each sub should spend on the grill, giving the perfect golden crust while leaving the sandwich soft and warm inside.
The Bread
The bread is equally as crucial to the toasting process as the grill and timing. The franchise uses submarine rolls, which are perfectly crafted to absorb the right amount of flavor from the fillings. The rolls must be fresh, soft and have a texture that can withstand the toasting process. The rolls are heated just enough to give them the perfect toastiness without compromising the texture.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Does Jersey Mike's toast their subs?
A: Yes, Jersey Mike's toast their subs using a countertop grill with two plates made from industrial-grade materials. The grill's temperature must be correct, and the timing must also be precise, making sure that the sub is toasted to perfection.
Q: Can I ask for my sub to be toasted more?
A: Absolutely. At Jersey Mike's, the subs are made per the customer's request, and the staff will be more than happy to cater to your preference.
Q: Can I get my sub untoasted?
A: Yes, you can request your sub untoasted at Jersey Mike's. Upon your request, the staff will make your sub to your preference.
Q: Does Jersey Mike's use fresh ingredients?
A: Yes, freshness is one of Jersey Mike's core philosophies, and they use fresh vegetables, meats, and cheeses to make their subs.
Conclusion
Undoubtedly, the toasting technique Jersey Mike's use to create their subs is unique and sets them apart from competitors. The use of high-quality ingredients, the right grill type, temperature, and timing contribute to the perfect toasting of the subs, leading to a great taste. Next time you visit Jersey Mike's, take a few extra seconds to notice the perfectly toasted subs, which are a result of the unique toasting technique, the best quality ingredients, and the staff's dedication to delivering high-quality subs.
As the saying goes, "Better bread, better subs." Jersey Mike's Subs are famous for their amazing sandwiches, and their use of high-quality ingredients and perfectly toasted subs is the reason behind their success. | eng | 928ef987-a5ea-4164-997e-511ec9304661 | https://authenticjerseys.top/the-secret-behind-the-perfectly-toasted-subs-at-jersey-mikes/ |

Demonstration Project
A small-scale demonstration project provides multiple benefits, including serving as a proof-ofconcept. A demonstration project allows for the assessment and measurement of benefits and risks without a full-scale, long-term investment. A strong performance assessment plan defined in the CONOPS document will support implementation of the demonstration project and will justify whether or not to continue investment in TSP operations.

Planting Seeds: The Mangrove Tree Preschool
Last November, shortly after receiving the paperback version of the Jane Addams award-winning The Mangrove Tree, Susan Roth received an unexpected email. It was from Fathima Toprawalla, who has been a director of a Montessori preschool in Calgary, Canada for the last six years. Last year Fathima decided to create a brand-new preschool with the intention that each student would be able to grow a plant or tree of his or her own. And her special wish was to name her new school The Mangrove Tree Preschool, for the book that she found inspirational for herself as well as for her young students.
As soon as Lee and Low granted the permission to use the name, Fathima moved ahead with her plans. The school location in Calgary has been chosen and secured. The school's website has been created and its opening season has been designated for this September.
Everyone involved wishes that Gordon Sato were still here to enjoy this honor, but Gordon's work will continue to be celebrated in Fathima's school. Fathima has invited Susan to present a collage workshop at The Mangrove Tree Preschoolin the fall. Susan is already imagining the Mangrove Tree forests of collages that Fathima's students will create, decorating the walls in their brand new classroom.
Susan L. Roth is an author and illustrator who creates unique mixed-media collage illustrations that have appeared in numerous award-winning children's books, many of which she also wrote. The Mangrove Tree, which was released in 2011 and addressed Dr. Gordon Sato's mangrove tree-planting project, was the winner of Jane Addams Children's Book Award. Roth lives in New York.

Voting in Central Arizona: A Comprehensive Guide to the Electoral Process
Voting is a fundamental right of citizens in the United States, and Arizona is no exception. With 15 counties, each with its own Board of Supervisors, County Recorder, and Elections Director, the voting process in Central Arizona can be complex. This guide will provide an overview of the laws and regulations that govern elections in the state of Arizona, as well as the key deadlines and requirements for voting. The Arizona Legislature is responsible for setting the policy for how elections are conducted in the state.
This includes determining when elections will be held, when early voting begins, and the requirements to vote. Titles 16 and 19 of the Arizona Revised Statutes (ARS) apply to elections. The Board of Supervisors (BOS) is an elected office in each county that is responsible for overseeing the electoral process. The County Recorder is also an elected office that is responsible for maintaining records related to elections. The Elections Director is appointed by either the BOS or Registrar and is responsible for administering elections. In order to vote in Central Arizona, citizens must first register with their county's Elections Department.
This can be done online or by mail. Once registered, citizens must provide proof of identity when they go to vote. This can be done with a valid driver's license or other government-issued ID. Voters must also provide proof of residence if they are voting in a different county than where they are registered. Once registered and at the polling place, voters will be asked to sign a voter registration form.
This form must be signed in order for the voter's ballot to be counted. After signing the form, voters will receive their ballot and can begin voting. Voters can cast their ballots either electronically or on paper. Electronic voting machines are available at most polling places and allow voters to cast their ballots quickly and easily. Paper ballots are also available at most polling places and allow voters to mark their choices on a paper ballot before submitting it to be counted. Once a voter has cast their ballot, it will be counted by the Elections Department.
The results of each election will be posted on the county's website as soon as they are available. Voting is an essential part of democracy and it is important for citizens to understand the process in order to make informed decisions when casting their ballots. By following this guide, citizens in Central Arizona can ensure that their votes are counted and that their voices are heard.

Cycle Counts
A cycle count is an auditing method for estimating the inventory of a warehouse without counting every single object inside. It's a sampling technique that involves counting some items and using those numbers to calculate how many items there are in the whole warehouse. Cycle count systems may save time and avoid plant closures for full inventory counts. There are several methods for cycle counting that are appropriate in different situations. Since a cycle count IS NOT an exact count, the estimate of total inventory may be stronger or weaker according to the process used to perform the cycle count. If the cycle count is erroneous, the estimate of the entire inventory may be incorrect as well. Methods include (but not limited to) counting the top percentage of items that are "movers," (aka ABC method) or top percentage of higher dollar value items. | eng | bcfc74e2-c931-4b73-887c-7016eeb8d31a | https://goldenstateinventories.com/cycle-counts/ |

Where to get your vaccine
California and San Mateo County has done a great job getting vaccinated. If you have not yet received your vaccine and would like to find out where you can go, go to:
All about testing
Who should get tested? Anyone unvaccinated or vaccinated with symptoms of COVID-19.
Rapid Antigen tests (results within 15 minutes) are good to be used when you have possible COVID symptoms. These can be purchased over-the-counter or online.
PCR tests tend to be more accurate. These are preferred for asymptomatic screening and for confirmation of a rapid antigen test.
What kind of test should I get?
If you do not have symptoms but had an exposure, a PCR test is the most accurate, test 3-5 days after exposure.
If you do have symptoms, then a rapid antigen test is acceptable.
Things to know about COVID-19 testing:
Remember that rapid antigen tests due have a high false negative rate (you test negative even though you likely have COVID-19) but a low false positive rate (if you test positive, it is very likely true).
PCR tests can remain positive for some weeks/months after COVID-19 recovery. If your rapid antigen tests remain positive >1 week after onset of symptoms, talk to your physician for more information.
Positive for COVID-19? Available Treatments and Guidelines.
The current COVID-19 variants are highly transmissible. If you have avoided COVID-19 until now, there is a good chance you may contract it. The good news is, you are less likely to die or be hospitalized if you are vaccinated and there are some treatments available.
If you are at risk for severe disease, the following treatments are available:
Paxolovid (ritonavir)- oral drug and available but numerous potential drug interactions. Should be given as soon as possible and within 5 days. Would recommend for those over 50 with risk factors, given increasing rebound symptoms requiring re-quarantining due to transmission.
Xevudy (sotrovimab)- monoclonal antibody, single intravenous infusion given in the hospital or emergency room.
If you are immunocompromised and were unable to be vaccinated, you may be eligible for (PrEP) Pre-exposure prophylaxis with Evushield, two monoclonal antibodies administered as two separate intramuscular injections. The criteria are health carecannot be currently infected with COVID-19 or have had a COVID-19 exposure.
What if you have mild disease? What can I take?
Vitamin D- many studies have failed to show benefit but low risk to supplment
Zinc- in high doses, can be toxic. The total recommended dose should be no larger than 40mg a day.
You can take: fluids, tylenol/ibuprofen, get a pulse oximeter from Amazon* and rest. If your pulse oximeter is less than 90%, please go to the emergency room or call 911. If you develop chest pain or shortness of breath, call your physician or call 911.
I'm vaccinated. What activities can I do safely?
On June 15, the state of California lifted many restrictions and the economy is fully open. San Mateo County has not added any additional restrictions.
When do you have to mask?
There are not mandatory mask requirements except for health facilities. The San Mateo and San Francisco County Departments of Health do strongly recommend indoor masking and using high quality masks such as N95 and K95. | eng | 761f084b-c1db-4974-8348-7f80f109009b | https://www.bloomprimarycare.com/covid |
RESOURCES FOR FOOD WASTE EDUCATION
Urban Green Lab believes education leads to action, especially in reducing wasted food in our cities. In 2023, we teamed up with the Posner Foundation of Pittsburgh to create a series of videos about how Urban Green Lab uniquely delivers education on sustainable food consumption in classrooms, households, and workplaces. To supplement those videos, we also created a series of toolkits in collaboration with the Environmental Law Institute full of resources you can use every day as an educator, a professional, or a family member. Read more below about our experience educating on food waste and how the resources can be used.
Urban Green Lab is a nonprofit that teaches communities how to live sustainably in Nashville, Tennessee. We believe education is transformative, and we envision a Nashville where sustainability is a part of everyday life for everyone.
Our approach is toorganize teams and individuals, train them on making sustainable choices, and connect them with peers to continue learning and resources that make a difference. We focus on spaces where people work, learn, and live, like classrooms, households, and workplaces - places where the systems and culture of our city are formed.
In 2023, the Posner Foundation of Pittsburgh funded a project to expand this work and to share scalable solutions for other cities, communities, and organizations looking to promote sustainable food consumption. The resources on this page are the result of their generous support and years of experience in Nashville.
Watch the following videos for an overview of our programs in classrooms, households, and workplaces - places where the culture of our city is formed. We aim to integrate thinking about food waste into each of these places and the daily decisions of Nashvillians.
Use the resource guides compiled by ELI to find vetted, science-based resources, categorized by audience and medium, for educating on sustainable food consumption. The topics for the guides were selected from the modeled solutions for reshaping consumer environments in ReFed's Roadmap to 2030.
Use these resources and videos to inform programs and curricula on sustainable food consumption however it makes the most sense for you - whether that means learning from what we have done in Nashville to build your own educational programs or to expand the education and culture of sustainable food consumption you already enjoy.
Urban Green Lab is always happy to connect with you to ideate, troubleshoot, or celebrate. Please contact Stephanie Roach at stephanie@urbangreenlab.org to connect.

Aquatic Resource Surveys
Indicators: Acidification
What is acidification?
Acidification is a broad term that refers to the process by which aquatic ecosystems become more acidic. Acid rain and acid mine drainage are major sources of acidifying compounds, lowering the pH below the range where most living organisms function. Some aquatic ecosystems can also be acidic due to natural causes, e.g., high levels of organic compounds or presence of acid producing vegetation in bogs.
Why is it important to evaluate acidification?
Acidification can have adverse effects on fish, vegetation, and other aquatic organisms. Acid-sensitive organisms cannot tolerate high levels of acidity or changes in acidity levels. Acidification can also release toxic metals from soils into the water.
What can acidification tell us about the condition of water?
Most living organisms, especially aquatic life, function at the optimal pH range of 6.5 to 8.5. Acidification can be measured by testing for acid neutralizing capacity (ANC), which is the ability of a water body to reduce the effect of a strong acid. Sufficient ANC in surface waters will prevent pH levels from straying outside the range in which aquatic life can function. When ANC values are low, the water is considered acidic and can be either directly or indirectly toxic to aquatic organisms. | eng | f3aa4c75-8d7e-4a1f-9768-eff2daa370a2 | https://19january2021snapshot.epa.gov/national-aquatic-resource-surveys/indicators-acidification_.html |
Top 5 Most Common Household Pests and How to Prevent Them
Posted on April 20th, 2023
No homeowner enjoys having pests on their property. These pesky creatures cause damage to structures and pose a significant health risk to the people who live or work inside the infested building. Somehow, they often find their way indoors despite our best efforts to keep them at bay. This is because even the tiniest cracks in a house's exterior provide easy access for the critters to enter. Once inside, they quickly multiply and become a serious concern.
In this article, we will be discussing the top five most common household pests. Specifically, we will cover the signs of infestation, the health risks associated with each insect and how to prevent future infestations. By the end of this article, you'll better understand how to keep your space pest-free.
Most Common Household Pests and How to Eradicate Them
Knowing the most common household pests is the first step in identifying whether you have an infestation, allowing you to promptly take the necessary steps in household pest control.
The following are the usual vermin found in homes:
1. Cockroach
Cockroaches are brownish-black insects that adapt to a wide range of environments and are found in many parts of the world. They are nocturnal pests and are most active at night.
Dangers of a Cockroach Infestation
Cockroaches are more than just a nuisance. The main danger they bring into your home is their ability to spread diseases that are particularly dangerous for young children, the elderly and those with weakened immune systems.
In addition to spreading disease, cockroach droppings, saliva and shed skin trigger allergic reactions, which can exacerbate asthma symptoms. This leads to difficulties in breathing and may sometimes result in a life-threatening asthma attack.
Signs That You Have a Cockroach Infestation
If you notice any of the following, you might have a cockroach infestation in your hands:
Foul Smells: Cockroaches produce a pheromone with a distinctive musty odor, which can be particularly strong in areas with severe infestation.
Shed Skin: Cockroaches shed their skin as they grow, leaving behind tiny, brown exoskeletons found near their hiding places.
Egg Cases: These cases, also known as oothecae, contain multiple eggs and are the clearest sign of a cockroach infestation in homes.
Dead or Alive Cockroaches: The ultimate sign is seeing the cockroach, whether dead or alive.
2. Bed Bug
Bed bugs are small insects that feed on the blood of both humans and animals. They are found in areas where people rest, like couches, beds and other upholstered furniture. These insects are flat and oval, with a size ranging from 1mm to 7mm, making them difficult to spot.
Dangers of a Bed Bug Infestation
Unlike cockroaches, bed bugs do not transmit any diseases, but their bites cause various health problems. Some people may experience an allergic reaction, resulting in redness, itching and swelling around the bitten area. In severe cases, bed bug bites lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening reaction that requires immediate medical attention.
Aside from physical discomfort, bed bugs also cause psychological distress. An infestation can cause anxiety and fear of being bitten, leading to depression, insomnia and other mental health concerns.
Signs That You Have a Bed Bug Infestation
Do you suspect that you have bed bugs in your home? Keep an eye out for the following signs:
Musty Odors: Bed bugs produce chemicals to communicate with their kind, and this causes musty smells.
Specks of Blood on Beddings: These specks of blood are usually caused by bed bugs that have been crushed while feeding on their hosts.
Exoskeletons: Bed bugs shed their exoskeletons as they grow and develop. These are found near their hiding places, like the seams of mattresses, box springs or bed frames.
Eggs: Bed bug eggs are small and white. They are about the size of a pinhead and are often in clusters.
Tiny Black Spots: These spots are bed bug excrements that are easily mistaken for dirt or mold.
3. Mosquito
Mosquitoes are small, winged insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals, which they require to develop their eggs. Mosquitoes are found worldwide but are most common in warm and humid places. There are over 3,500 species of mosquitoes, each with its unique characteristics. Most of them are active during the evening and are attracted to their hosts by the carbon dioxide they exhale.
Dangers of Having Mosquitoes in Your Home
Mosquitoes are feared because they carry life-threatening diseases like malaria, dengue fever, Zika virus and West Nile virus. These conditions cause various symptoms, from mild fever to more severe complications such as paralysis and even death. For those with weak immune systems, such as young children and older adults, the dangers of mosquito bites can be even greater. Therefore, preventing mosquitoes from entering your home is essential to protect yourself and your family from their bites.
4. Tick
Ticks are tiny, blood-sucking arachnids commonly found in wooded areas and grasslands. They are ectoparasites, meaning they feed on the blood of other animals, including humans. These insects have a hard, protective outer shell called a cuticle, which helps them to survive in harsh environments. They also have specialized mouthparts that allow them to attach to their host and feed for extended periods.
While ticks are commonly found outdoors, they can also infest a house by hitching a ride on pets. Once inside, they can hide in cracks and multiply quickly. Ticks are particularly attracted to warm and damp areas and usually hide in basements and crawl spaces. You can also find them where pets spend time, such as bedding, carpets and furniture.
Dangers of a Tick Infestation
While not all ticks carry diseases, those that do can pose a severe threat to human health. Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and ehrlichiosis are just some conditions that ticks can transmit.
In addition to disease transmission, they can also cause health issues for your pets. Animals with ticks may experience symptoms such as lethargy, loss of appetite and fever.
Signs That Your Home Is Infested With Ticks
The first sign of a tick infestation is often the presence of ticks themselves. They are usually brought indoors by pets, so pay close attention to areas where ticks are commonly found in animals, such as the scalp, neck and armpits.
5. Termite
Termites are small, pale pests that eat wood and other cellulose-based materials. They are social insects that work together to build and maintain their colonies. They communicate with each other through chemical signals and pheromones, and each member of the group has a specific role to play.
Dangers of a Termite Infestation
A termite infestation is hazardous since they cause significant structural damage. Termites feed on wood and consume large portions of your home's structure, including support beams, walls and floors. This weakens the structural integrity of a building, making it unstable and unsafe. Termites also cause damage to personal belongings because they chew through books, clothing and furniture.
Signs of Termites in Your Home
Unfortunately, termites are often difficult to detect until it's too late. However, there are some signs that can indicate their presence in a building.
A telling sign of a termite infestation is seeing mud tubes or tunnels. These are made from soil, wood and saliva, providing a protected pathway for the insects to move from their nest to a food source. You can find these tubes on the exterior or interior of your home, particularly around the foundation, walls or plumbing.
Another sign of termites is the presence of discarded wings. After termites swarm, they shed their wings, leaving them behind in piles near windows, doors or light sources.
Tips for Sustainable Home Maintenance to Deter Future Infestations
Preventing pest infestations is essential in keeping your home safe from the dangers these pests carry. You can do several things to prevent them from entering your space. First, ensure all entry points are appropriately sealed, including windows, doors and any cracks or crevices in the walls. Use weather stripping and caulking to fill gaps they may use as an entryway to your house.
Next, be sure to keep your space clean and tidy. Pests are attracted to food and garbage, so ensure all food is stored in airtight containers and that garbage is taken out regularly. Keep your floors and countertops clean, and don't leave dirty dishes in the sink for too long. Also, keep your yard clean and well-maintained. Pests, particularly ticks, like to hide in tall grass, so make sure your lawn is regularly mowed. | eng | 5c0fb16d-46e3-48e2-b2eb-3d7b8727f9ca | https://www.pestcontrolunlimited.com/top-5-most-common-household-pests-and-how-to-prevent-them/ |

I'll give you an hour to circle your choice.
Done? Well, if you're Vivian Krause, a blogger based in Vancouver, your screen has a big, black circle around No. 4. (If you're not Ms. Krause, and circled No. 4, and you wrote on your screen, you got it wrong in at least two different ways.)
The correct answer to our quiz was basically Nos. 1, 2, or 3. American nonprofits working only to curb fossil fuel production and consumption in America isn't exactly going to stop global warming. But to Krause's credit, her argument isn't the silliest accusation that has been leveled at Canadian environmental organizations. That honor goes to Sen.

Children often possess unwavering clarity about their future aspirations. While these ambitions may be short-lived, they exhibit wholehearted commitment during that time. However, as we mature and gain a broader understanding of the world, this certainty diminishes. We become more realistic about the demands of various careers and assess our own interests and abilities. Upon completing our education, we may have some notion of our options, but determining the ideal career path becomes an immensely challenging task. If you find yourself in this predicament, explore this comprehensive guide to selecting the perfect career path.
Take a good look at yourself
The first stage of your process should be to take a good look at yourself. You need to honestly evaluate your strengths and weaknesses, as well as your soft skills (or lack of), interests, values, and personality. There are lots of personality tests out there which can help you to identify your key traits as well as career tests that will assess which careers you are most suited to. Some will also generate a list of possible careers that you should consider. Alternatively, you could arrange an appointment with a career counselor or similar professional who can advise and support you as you think through your options carefully.
Create a list of possible careers
Now you have a list of potential careers based on your conclusions about yourself and any self-assessment tests you took; the next step is to make a list. It should include of all of those which appeal to you, those which you know nothing about, and even some which you have previously dismissed. You need to conduct research on each of them, and you never know what you might discover during the process.
Research each of the careers on your list
Work through your list of careers to find out the key information you need. This includes descriptions of the roles, key responsibilities, qualifications required, potential salaries, and opportunities for advancement in the future.
Streamline your list
You should be able to rule out several of the careers on your list after your research. For example, some careers could include poor future prospects, responsibilities, or required skills you would find uncomfortable or would require higher education or training which you are not able or willing to achieve. Ideally, your shortlist should include no more than 3 to 5 possible careers as you will want to look into each of them thoroughly.
Arrange interviews with professionals in each career
To get a real insight into the last few choices you have in front of you, you should deepen your research. The best way to get a real idea of what's involved in a career is to interview people who are already working in those jobs and in your chosen industry. They will be able to give you honest advice and may even be able to put you in touch with contacts who could arrange an internship or work shadowing.
Your research should help you to gain enough of an understanding of each option to choose your career path. You should choose the path which makes you feel passionate and motivated and which gives you enough flexibility and opportunities for development in the future. Of course, your choice is not set in stone, and it's common for people to adjust or change their careers in the future. You can only make a decision based on the information you have at the time.
When you have made your decision, it's time to work out what you want to achieve in your career in both the short-term (6 months to 3 years) and long-term (4 to 6 years). You need to work out what education and training you will need and how long those will take to complete. If you need to attend college, how will you fund your course? There are government loans and grants, but often these aren't enough to cover all the costs of study and additional private loans might be needed. You can find out more about the best private student loans at Crediful.com.
Finalize your career plan
To solidify your career path, it's crucial to document your plan. Outline the necessary steps to achieve your goals, consider incorporating a timeline, identify potential obstacles, and devise strategies to overcome them. From short-term objectives to long-term aspirations, this comprehensive plan will serve as your guiding compass, ensuring you stay focused even when faced with uncertainties along your professional journey. | eng | 14e8a24f-8a34-4208-8f85-2cfaffb59f3e | https://careeralley.com/how-to-choose-the-perfect-career-path/ |
The nurse is caring for a preschooler with nephrotic syndrome. Which of the following signs and symptoms is a characteristic of minimal change nephrotic syndrome?
Weight gain, edema, and proteinuria
Explanation
• Nephrotic syndrome is a nonspecific disorder in which the kidneys are damaged and allow the leakage of proteins into the urine. Minimal change disease refers to damage to the glomeruli of the kidneys that cannot be seen under a regular microscope. It is idiopathic in origin.
• Minimal change disease is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children.
• Clinical manifestations of nephrotic syndrome include edema, proteinuria, and weight gain due to fluid overload.
Incorrect options:
• Gross hematuria is associated with nephritic syndrome.
• Fever would occur only if there is an infection.
• Hypertension may occur, but these patients are generally normotensive. | eng | d9cde087-c3ce-4cc1-84e0-046a542758bc | https://nclextestpro.com/quiz/the-nurse-is-caring-for-a-preschooler-with-nephrotic-syndrome-which-of-6242c491e1c9b544d06250ce/ |
A grouping of the total population into non-Aboriginal or Aboriginal
population, with Aboriginal persons further divided into Aboriginal groups,
based on their responses to three questions on the 1996 Census form. Included
in the Aboriginal population are those persons who reported identifying
with at least one Aboriginal group, i.e. North American Indian, Métis
or Inuit (Eskimo) and/or who reported being a Treaty Indian or a Registered
Indian as defined by the Indian Act of Canada and/or who reported they
were members of an Indian Band or First Nation.
2. Comparability of 1996
Place of Work Data
Working at home can be measured in different ways. In the Census, the
"worked at home" category includes persons who live and work
at the same physical location, such as farmers, teleworkers and work camp
workers. In addition, the 1996 Census Guide instructed persons who worked
part of the time at home and part of the time at an employer's address
to indicate that they worked at home if most of their time was spent working
at home (e.g. 3 days out of 5). The 1995 Survey of Work Arrangements asked
respondents whether they did some or all of their paid work at home. The
difference between the 1996 Census and the 1995 Survey of Work Arrangements
work at home data is the result of differences in the way these workers
are measured. The place of work question has been asked in virtually the
same format in each census since 1971. However, the term "no fixed
workplace address" replaced "no usual place of work" in
1996. For 1996, the Census questionnaire was modified by adding a check
box for the "no fixed workplace address" response category. In
previous censuses, respondents were asked to write "no usual place
of work" in the address fields. It is believed that previous censuses
have undercounted the number of persons with "no fixed workplace address".
Annexations, incorporations and amalgamations of municipalities could create
some difficulties when comparing spatial units and structures which change
over time.
3. Highest Level of Schooling
The overall quality of the education variables from the 1996 Census
is acceptable. However, a specific data problem has been identified. There
is an inconsistency in the "Highest Grade of Elementary-secondary"
variable in the province of Quebec. The proportion of persons with the
value of 'No schooling or kindergarten only' has increased from 0.8% (44,440)
in 1991 to 1.2% (72,070) in 1996. The problem appears to be the wording
of Question 24 on the French 2B Census questionnaire. The "Highest
Level of Schooling" and "Total Years of Schooling" variables
are also affected as they are derived from a number of education questions
including "Highest Grade of Elementary-secondary".
4. Historical Comparison of Census
Metropolitan Areas, 1991 and 1996
A few of the census metropolitan areas (CMAs) have different geographic
boundaries in 1996 than they had in 1991. In order to facilitate comparisons,
1991 data shown in the 1996 data products reflects the 1996 CMA geographic
boundaries.
5. Income Reference Period
Canadian censuses were conducted in 1991 and 1996. Income data from
these censuses relate to the calendar year prior to the census year, i.e.
1990 and 1995 respectively.
6. Income Suppression
Income statistics have been suppressed where the total number of units
(all persons, males, females, families or households) in the reference
year is less than 250. All suppressed cells and associated averages, medians
and standard errors of average income have been replaced with zeroes.
In all cases, suppressed data are included in the appropriate higher
aggregate subtotals and totals.
7. Incompletely Enumerated Indian
Reserves and Indian Settlements
On some Indian reserves and Indian settlements in the 1996 Census, enumeration
was not permitted, or was interrupted before it could be completed. Moreover,
for some Indian reserves and Indian settlements, the quality of the collected
data was considered inadequate. These geographic areas (a total of 77)
are called incompletely enumerated Indian reserves and Indian settlements.
Data for 1996 are therefore not available for the incompletely enumerated
reserves and settlements and are not included in tabulations. Data for
geographic areas containing one or more of these reserves and settlements
are therefore noted accordingly. Because of the missing data, users are
cautioned that for the affected geographic areas, comparisons (e.g., percentage
change) between 1991 and 1996 are not exact. While for higher level geographic
areas (Canada, provinces, census metropolitan areas and census agglomerations)
the impact of the missing data is very small, the impact can be significant
for smaller areas, where the affected reserves and settlements account
for a higher proportion of the population.
It was possible after the census to obtain population and dwelling counts
for the Wendake (Quebec) Indian reserve. These certified counts amount
to 1,462 persons and 563 occupied private dwellings. These numbers are
not included in the census population and dwelling counts, since they were
established after the census using a different methodology.
In 1991 and 1996, the Census of Population enumerated both permanent
and non-permanent residents of Canada. Non-permanent residents are persons
who held a student or employment authorization, Minister's permit or who
were refugee claimants, as well as family members living with them, at
the time of the Census.
Prior to 1991, only permanent residents of Canada were included in the
census. (The only exception to this occurred in 1941.) Non-permanent residents
were considered foreign residents and were not enumerated.
Today in Canada, non-permanent residents make up a significant segment
of the population, especially in several census metropolitan areas. Their
presence can affect the demand for such government services as health care,
schooling, employment programs and language training. The inclusion of
non-permanent residents in the census facilitates comparisons with provincial
and territorial statistics (marriages, divorces, births and deaths) which
include this population. In addition, this inclusion of non-permanent residents
brings Canadian practice closer to the UN recommendation that long-term
residents (persons living in a country for one year or longer) be enumerated
in the census.
According to the 1991 Census, there were 223,410 non-permanent residents
in Canada, representing slightly less than 1% of the total population.
There were fewer non-permanent residents in Canada at the time of the 1996
Census: 166,715 non-permanent residents or 0.6% of the total population
in 1996.
Total population counts, as well as counts for all variables, are affected
by this change in the census universe. Users should be especially careful
when comparing data from 1991 or 1996 with data from previous censuses
in geographic areas where there is a concentration of non-permanent residents.
These include the major metropolitan areas in Ontario, Quebec and British
Columbia.
Although every attempt has been made to enumerate non-permanent residents,
factors such as language difficulties and the reluctance to complete a
government form or understand the need to participate may have affected
the enumeration of this population and resulted in undercounting.
9. Number of Weeks Worked
The data for the 40-48 and 49-52 weeks worked categories must be interpreted
with caution because some respondents tend to exclude their paid leave
of absence due to vacation or for other reasons from their work weeks,
when in fact such leave of absence should be included. As a result, the
49-52 weeks category may be understated.
10. Population Counts Based on
Usual Residence
The population counts shown here for a particular area represent the
number of Canadians whose usual placesee special note on this group). In most areas, there
is little difference between the number of usual residents and the number
of people staying in the area on Census Day. For certain places, however,
such as tourist or vacation areas, or those including large work camps,
the number of people staying in the area at any particular time could significantly
exceed the number of usual residents shown here.
11. Product Updates
Errors have been found in the 1996 and 1991 counts for the areas indicated
below. Due to operational constraints, adjustments cannot be made to the
Census databases. Consequently, all data products from the census, standard
or custom, will reflect the population and dwelling counts published on
April 15, 1997.
The original and revised population and dwelling counts are shown below:
EAuid 60001266 is erroneously shown as part
of Yukon, UNO (CSDuid 6001045).
EAuid 60001266 should be shown as part of
Tagish, SET (CSDuid 6001036).
(1)
This represents coverage errors.
Coverage errors occur when dwellings and/or individuals are missed, incorrectly
counted or double counted. An estimate of the coverage errors for the provinces,
territories and Canada will be included in "The Daily" which
will be available in September 1998.
12. Structural Type of Dwelling
Movable dwellings, one category of structural type of dwellings, were
suspected to be under-reported in the 1996 Census. This is thought to be
due to the misclassification of a number of mobile homes as other structural
types. For large geographic areas, this error is not expected to have a
significant impact upon other dwelling categories because of the relatively
large number of dwellings in that area. However, for small geographic areas,
the impact may be more pronounced.
13. Temporary Residents
Unlike previous censuses, the Temporary Residents Study was not carried
out in 1996. Therefore, the census did not verify, on a sample basis, if
temporary residents (persons found on Census Day at a place other than
their usual place of residence) were enumerated at their usual place of
residence. In the 1991 Census, the number of people included as a result
of the Temporary Residents Study was as follows:

The Ford F-150 Lightning looks like it has one big edge over Tesla's upcoming Cybertruck. And it has to do with what is — or isn't — under the hood.
Since they don't have a bulky engine, electric vehicles often offer extra cargo room up front in the form of a front trunk (AKA frunk). It's a bonus area you can use when the actual trunk is packed to the gills, and it's one of the things EV owners love most about their cars. Not all EVs have them, but all Teslas and many others do.
(It's worth noting that this is probably isn't what the final frunk will look like. In production trucks, there will likely be some kind of insert that hides all the exposed mechanical bits. And we don't know how close the vehicle pictured here is to production-ready.)

Tesla hasn't provided actual dimensions of the frunk, so we can't be totally sure of its size. But it looks like it's no match for the F-150's, which holds about as much stuff as a Honda Civic's trunk. I mean, just look at it:
The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning's front t.

It's unclear from the photos whether there's any room for a frunk at all, but Tesla's website says the Cybertruck will indeed have one.
GMC's Hummer EV and Rivian's R1T have large front trunks, as do upcoming e-pickups from Ram and Chevy. It makes sense that the Cybertruck's frunk would be practically nonexistent, since its futuristic wedge shape and long windshield leave almost no hood at all. The electric trucks from major automakers look basically like regular gas-powered ones, so they have long hoods and room underneath to play around with.

Frunks play an important role for EV truck buyers, since they provide lockable, weatherproof storage and mean not everything needs to go in the bed. When I drove the F-150 Lighting last year, the truck's frunk easily handled multiple backpacks and duffels that I didn't want sliding around in the bed.

The Cybertruck won't leave buyers starved for cargo space, though. Tesla says it will have a six-foot bed, an under-bed compartment, and extra exterior storage in the diagonal pieces that run from the cab to the back of the bed. | eng | 9be909f0-8743-4522-86bc-e776c16525e2 | https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-cybertruck-frunk-ford-f150-lightning-electric-truck-2023-7 |

The Good Shepherd.
The Good Shepherd.
"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." John 10:11.
It was Abraham Lincoln that said,
"The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep's throat, for which the sheep thanks the shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty. Plainly, the sheep and the wolf do not agree upon a definition of liberty."
Jesus Christ, my Savior, is the good shepherd. That is why the problem of everyone who believed in him become His problem. He is a father of the fatherless, and the defender of the widow, through Him we find rest and liberty. He is Love, and one of the so many ways God relates to human is by being their shepherd. A shepherd's role of God puts Him in the position of the leader, guide, and protector of the sheep.
The shepherd is saddled with the safety and acting as the guide of the sheep to where the pasture can be found. When we come to God, we need to know that God knows more than us; no matter how knowledgeable we are, we cannot fathom in fullness the extent of the knowledge of God and hence. We need to trust Him as the sheep trust in the shepherd to always lead them right, away from wolves and thieves and further lead them into the green pasture and the clean waters.
This is what David as a Shepherd did when wild beasts attacked his dad's flock: He chased out the lion or the bear. He kept the sheep and tendered the flock carefully. (1 Samuel 17:34-35). Just like David, Jesus did not only save us but laid down his life for the sheep. Remember, that He that delivered before will surely deliver again, therefore trust in Jesus. Through the Shepherd, we are assured of His abiding presence and glory every time we awake and see the new day.
The Shepherd will do anything to secure His sheep from the evil ones because it is only the careless shepherd that give his sheep as food to the wolves. Jesus is the shepherd and not just any shepherd; He is a good shepherd who never abandons the sheep for anything. Another striking detail about the shepherd's relationship is that we get to know His voice, and that voice serves as the guide as to when to come in, go out, where to go and the path to follow.
As the good shepherd, when we miss the road, He comes looking and won't leave us until we are found once more with Him. Rest assured in this God, the good shepherd and face the day with confidence, because through Him you shall lack nothing. In Psalm 23, David was so assured that "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want."
Prayer
1. Lord, thank you for being my good shepherd and Lord.
2. Today, I will align with your instructions, and the word for it brings me safety and profits.
3. I scatter the plan of every wolf planning to turn my liberation in Christ into suppression | eng | 3f4fa3bd-6d61-4589-8e5a-acb1a8ca7fdc | https://maglife.org/the-good-shepherd-2/ |
Increasing Your Chances of Success With Warzone Cheats
Warzone is a popular battle royale game that has captured the hearts of gamers all around the world. While the thrill of the game is in trying to outplay your opponents fairly, many gamers have resorted to using cheats and hacks to win more easily. In this ultimate guide, we'll be discussing the various cheats and hacks available to players and how they work. We'd also like to mention that cheating is unfair and ruins the game for others, so it's important to use warzone 2 hacks responsibly.
1. Wallhacks and ESP:
Wallhacks and ESP are among the most popular cheats in Warzone. They give players the ability to see through walls and other objects, which makes them aware of their opponent's location and movements. This is an advantage that is hard to beat and results in more wins. However, it is also considered unfair and can lead to a ban if the player gets caught.
2. Aimbot:
Aimbot is another popular cheat in Warzone that helps players to aim and shoot their opponents more accurately. This cheat automatically locks onto the opponent's head or body, making it almost impossible to miss. While aimbot can help players win more easily, it is also frowned upon and can result in a ban.
3. Speed hacks:
Speed hacks give players the ability to move faster than their opponents, which is a huge advantage in Warzone. Not only does this help the player to escape from danger more easily, but it also enables them to cover more ground quickly. Speed hacks are also considered cheating and can lead to a ban.
4. ESP only:
This cheat only reveals the location of the enemy team to the player, leaving the rest of the game untouched. It's not as advantageous as Wallhacks or ESP, but it's still considered cheating. ESP-only is preferred by Warzone players who don't want to be too overpowered and only want a slight advantage over their enemies.
5. Radar Hacks:
Radar hacks provide the player with a bird's eye view of the map, allowing them to see where their opponents are at all times. This is a game-changing hack and can lead to a much easier win rate. However, like all other hacks, it is considered cheating and can lead to a ban.
Cheating in Warzone may seem like a quick way to increase your win rate, but it's not worth the long-term consequences. At the end of the day, the game is only fun when it's played fairly, and no one likes losing to someone who's cheating. Instead of using cheats and hacks, players should focus on improving their gameplay and developing their skills. The satisfaction that comes with winning fairly is unmatched, and that's what makes the game exciting. So, practice more, play fair, and enjoy the game! | eng | ec863342-09f8-4436-b2a5-586f97064978 | https://rawstoryworld.com/increasing-your-chances-of-success-with-warzone-cheats/ |

The Bechdel test is a simple but effective way of assessing the feminist qualities of a film, and how women are represented. The test was introduced by Alison Bechdel in 1985, in a comic strip called 'The Rule'. The test asks three simple questions of a film: 1) Are there more than two (named) female characters in the film? 2) Do they interact with each other? 3) If they do, do they talk about something other than a man?
