A Leader, Yet an Exemplary Servant (Part 1)
Written By: Sadhu Shukmunidas
Leading with Love
We may not realize it, but we are all leaders in some form in our own circle of influence: professionally, socially or personally.
How one handles even the simplest of tasks reveals the leadership skills of a person. Visiting the supermarket, organizing a house-warming gathering, arranging a birthday party, raising children or working with others, and other such tasks reflect one's leadership skills.
To be a successful leader in any aspect of life requires the ability to communicate well, listen to feedback, be flexible, motivate others, plan effectively and, crucially, lead by example. Put simply, do what you say.
Parents are leaders of their households. They inspire their children to work hard, do well, carry out important chores, and live with noble values.
Pramukh Swami Maharaj, guru of the BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha between 1971 and 2016, was a leader like no other. He inspired hundreds of thousands of people to lead moral, spiritual and pious lives. He inspired the building of more than 1,200 mandirs across the globe and initiated over 1,000 sadhus. His teachings and practices continue to transform people and societies everywhere.
This is due to his unique leadership style. The way he connected with people was peerless, because he would lead with love.
A Loving Servant Leader
Looking at leaders who have shaped world history, we may think that here's a huge difference between them and us.
Well, is there? We're all made of flesh and blood, and have the same number of hours in a day. Successful leaders have dreamt big, worked hard, made decisions and had courage. This is something that we can all do.
John Maxwell, a leadership thinker, said, "Leadership is about how one's life influences another." How we do this depends on the choices we make and the way we choose to undertake tasks.
Leadership is about having an impact on the people within our circle of influence. This could be our family, friends or co-workers, and might be just a handful of people or many hundreds.
Steve Jobs, cofounder of Apple, put it very simply, "Leadership is about inspiring people to do things they never thought they could do."
Great leaders throughout history have done just that. They have stamped their mark on the world and influenced generations that have followed.
Pramukh Swami Maharaj was such a leader. He did not go to war, but he showed the way to fight wars with our internal enemies of anger, greed, lust, jealousy and other base instincts that torture us every day.
This is what sets Pramukh Swami Maharaj apart from other leaders. With his unique and loving style, he inspired innumerable people to lead pure and pious lives, to work on improving themselves and their inner nature, to give up damaging lifestyles dominated by addictions, and to keep God at the centre of everything. He transformed people through love. And this was one of his defining leadership features.
With his credo, 'In the joy of others, lies our own', Pramukh Swami Maharaj helped people to change and improve, and taught them to be selfless and put others first.
Ronald Reagan, former president of the USA, once said, "The greatest leader is not necessarily the one who does the greatest things. He is the one who gets people to do the greatest things."
This is exactly what Pramukh Swami Maharaj did; he inspired people to do great things. He did this in a number of ways, primarily leading from the front, but as a servant.
President Washes Utensils
In 1950, at the young age of 28, Pramukh Swami Maharaj was appointed as president of BAPS by guru Shastriji Maharaj. On this day, he made a pledge: "Today, O Guruji, before you and this gathering, I pledge that I shall sincerely uphold my duties, without caring for my body, and in every way remain loyal to the Sanstha and faithful to you."
All the senior sadhus and elderly devotees wholeheartedly supported Shastriji Maharaj's decision in appointing him as the president.
After the memorable function was over, the devotees had dinner before departing. But Pramukh Swami, the newly appointed president noticed the pile of used dishes, cups, bowls, pots, pans and cooking utensils and washed them all – without a fuss and without asking anyone for help.
As the president, he could have asked someone else to do it; however, he didn't do that. Nor did he complain to anyone. He simply did the seva himself, as per his pledge. Such humble service was a hallmark of his unique personality. | eng | 69374a72-1a04-4ff6-8670-c8dcd5665b3a | https://www.baps.org/EnlighteningEssays/2022/A-Leader-Yet-an-Exemplary-Servant-(Part-1)-22879.aspx |
RoSPA Virtual Home Safety Conference 2023
Tuesday, February 28, 2023
What can we learn to prepare for the way we live now?
The last few years have seen major changes in the ways in which we live, work and use our homes. Many of us are now spending more time there than ever before as boundaries between home, work and leisure become merged. It remains true, however, that although the home for most of us is the most familiar and comfortable place, more people are injured in accidents in their own home than anywhere else. Challenges to the cost of living only adds further uncertainty to the mix as we seek to heat, light, cook and live more economically.
The RoSPA 2023 Home Safety Webinar will look at a range of activities aimed at better informing us on how we can reduce accidents and stay safe at home. What can we learn from the evaluation of a major home safety equipment scheme? Does it have lessons for how we protect our young families at home today? How is the cost-of-living crisis affecting our capacity to stay safe at home and what can we do about it? Will better data on home accidents from hospitals help us in the fight to reduce accidents and raise awareness? How safe are the products made for our homes and what is being done to make sure that they are as safe as possible?
This webinar will be of interest to anyone who is involved in work to help consumers, families and work colleagues live their lives free from serious accidental injury in the home.
Programme:
13:05 - 13:25 – Safe at Home – What did we learn?An evaluation of the National Home Safety Programme, and insights for the future
Can home safety equipment schemes save lives and can they do this cost-effectively. The National Home Safety Equipment Scheme, delivering home safety equipment to over 67,000 families between 2009 and 2011, was probably the biggest intervention of its kind. Now, as a new evaluation has been published into both effectiveness and economic costs of the programme, what can we learn that will help us to deliver similar local schemes effectively. Professor Denise Kendrick and Matthew Jones, from the research team at the University of Nottingham will share their findings.
Professor Denise Kendrick leads the Injury Epidemiology and Prevention Research Group (IEPRF) at the University of Nottingham. She is trained in public health, medical statistics and general practice. She has worked in the field or injury prevention for over 30 years. Her work focusses on:
Evaluating the effect of interventions to reduce injuries and minimise the impact of injuries on patients' lives
The epidemiology of injuries, including exploring social variations in injury risk
Measuring the long term impact of injuries and improving injury outcomes
Matthew attained a BSc in Economics from the University of York in 2007, going on to study for a MSc in Health Economics. Matthew joined the University of Nottingham in 2008, first working in the Research Design Service for the East Midlands, before starting a PhD in economic evaluation in 2010, which he completed in 2015. Since then, he has been working as an Assistant Professor of Health Economics supporting various research groups within the Lifespan and Population Health Unit within the School of Medicine. His primary focus is on further refinements of the Economic Impacts of Smoking in Pregnancy (ESIP) model as well as other economic evaluations.
13:35 - 13:45 – The Product Safety Data Project: What did we do, what did we find, and where do we go from here?
There is often a cry for better data in relation to home accidents and the products that are often involved in them. It's now over twenty years since reliable data was available through the Home Accident Surveillance System. A pilot project, supported by BEIS, has sought to find out what data may exist within hospital accident emergency records that can shed light on accidents that happen at home. This presentation will explore the approach taken and some initial findings.
Ashley Martin is the Public Health Adviser for the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA). RoSPA is a leading safety charity that has been giving advice, education and training aimed at preventing accidents for over 100 years. Ashley is responsible for advising on home safety policy, working with national and local government, the health service, business and charity sectors and other safety organisations. He manages a range of programmes aimed at raising awareness of home and product safety among all age groups. He joined RoSPA in 2009, after over 20 years in injury prevention and public health in local government.
13:45 - 14:05 – The Product Safety Review
Speaker: Susan Bide (Office for Product Safety & Standards)
We want the products we buy for our homes to be safe and reliable, and to be able to purchase them from trusted, reliable sources. The Office for Product Safety and Standards, the Government department responsible for the safety of consumer products in the UK will give an update on the recent Product Safety Review and priorities for ensuring that products are as safe as possible.
14:05 - 14:25– Cost of Living Increases – What has the impact been for safety? Insights from the Fire Service
The increased cost of living is affecting all our decisions at the moment. But how can we make sure that we are taking decisions that do not compromise our safety and that of our families. The Fire Service often sees some of the worst effects of accidents that could have been prevented. This presentation will highlight the deadly effect of some "cost saving" measures and the importance of putting safety first. | eng | 3bf16bdb-2527-4d3f-9538-c69f48007cba | https://www.rospa.com/events/schedule/rospa-virtual-home-safety-conference-2023 |
You can only select a single trigger at a time. So there's no way to copy more than one trigger at a time unless you attach it to a dummy object.
For example, draw a square off stage and copy your triggers to that object. When you copy and paste this object your triggers should be transported with it. Some of the triggers may break if the destination doesn't contain the targets of the trigger. These are clearly indicated by red underlined text.
I just figured out how to lock the navigation with variables and now I need all five of the triggers I've set up to be on over sixty slides.
I noticed the post date of this discussion and am hoping this issue has been resolved in a newer version. Is it so and I just can't find it? If not, how do we submit a request because I certainly don't look forward to copy/pasting all of those triggers one at a time or using Steve's hack.
Other option is putting the triggers on the master slide. If your trigger conditions are variable listeners, the triggers should still work.
I've been using objects to transport variables quite a bit. Adding triggers to a hidden object (with one last trigger to hide the object) and showing the object with a separate trigger is a neat way to make the object behave like a function.
Steve. Thanks for the reply. I just tried your solution and it solved one problem (easily copy/pasting triggers/variables) but again this is another workaround. And it does create a lot of work, albeit not as much as recreating all of those variables and triggers again for each slide.
This is being used to lock the next button until (?) so when I use your solution by attaching the triggers to an object I have go back and edit every trigger on every page so they point to the slide instead of the object. Otherwise all of the functionality breaks. I've been able to move one trigger to the slide master: The set variable to false when timeline starts (this resets my lockNextButton so it can be used again from previous slide). All others have to be on each slide individually (total of 4, so not too bad).
If you select the trigger you want to copy, using the 'copy' button, then go to the left hand pane where your slides are listed. You can select multiple slides by holding the SHIFT key down and clicking on the slides you want to copy to. Press 'control v' (NOT the Paste button on the right hand side) then it will copy that trigger to all the slides you have selected.As Michael mentioned it's not a feature of Storyline 2 either. Depending on what triggers you're looking to copy, if they're assigned to an object, copying and duplicating the object would take all the triggers as well and copy those, so possibly that is an option for you?
Additionally I'd also invite you to share your feedback here as well, as those go to our product development team for review.
I do the math. Sometimes it is worth duplicating the slide. You get all the objects, layers, and triggers. Sometimes it is easier to delete a bunch of unwanted objects than it is to copy a bunch of triggers.
Sorry for my confusion you mentioned "copy a bunch of triggers for showing a slide" - if you need to copy multiple layers at once, I'd look instead at duplicating the slide as that'll keep all the layers as well. If you copy just that one layer, it will copy the objects and triggers on that layer, but there isn't a way to copy more than one layer at a time. | eng | be176b7c-1ffb-4a4c-94ad-3c11c8028eb8 | https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/copying-triggers |
November 7If you look at the religious affiliation of any powerful group in the U.S., you're bound to do some noticing.
I think the explanation is pretty simple. If Ashkenazi Jews have an IQ about 1 standard deviation above the normal, that means they are 20 times more likely to produce a person with a +3 standard deviation IQ. So in the +3 group, the percentage of people that are Jewish is going to be very noticeable. Then, combine that with network effects. People who are Jewish are much more likely to be connected or even related to these +3 people. Nothing nefarious needs to happen. Just natural talent and connections, both of which Sam Bankman-Fried had in spades.
Why does it seems to be mostly black people who are doing the noticing lately? There's also a simple explanation for that. Post-2020, there has been a huge societal push to give black people extra privileges. Things that would easily get a white person canceled are fine and even encouraged from the black community. So black people feel they have the ability to freely express themselves in a way that white people do not. They are now learning the limits of that ability.
The only thing that feels weird or objectionable about this whole thing is that it's okay to attack non-Jewish white people, but Jewish people are given special protections despite on average being much wealthier and more powerful.
The only thing that feels weird or objectionable about this whole thing is that it's okay to attack non-Jewish white people, but Jewish people are given special protections despite on average being much wealthier and more powerful.
This is my main gripe about this whole thing. As a white gentile I don't even care so much about jewish people disproportionately in positions of power. Its just the special pleading that prevents gentile whites from their own self advocacy in the age of identity politics. Just let all groups undergo in-group nepotism and advocacy or let no groups do so.

Islam is a lecture delivered by the Promised Messiah on 2 November 1904 in the town of Sialkot in Punjab, India. It was read before a large crowd of Hindus and Muslims. Later it was published under the title of Lecture Sialkot. In this lecture, the Promised Messiah(as) compares Islam with other religions and gives the proofs of the truthfulness of Islam. He mentions that in the beginning all religions were from God but after Islam was revealed Allah has stopped taking care of other religions but in Islam there has always been divines and reformers appointed by God. In continuing this traditions Allah has appointed him for the revival of Islam in 14th Century Hijrah. The Promised Messiah (as) first time in this lecture, claims to be the Krishna for Hindus. He mentioned Krishna in the following words "Let it be clear that Raja Krishna, according to what has been revealed to me, was such a truly great man that it is hard to find his like among the Rishis and Avatars of the Hindus. He was an Avatar-i.e. Prophet-of his time upon whom the Holy Spirit would descend from God. He was from God, victorious and prosperous." - from Amzon | eng | 3a8b42bd-bbfe-4677-b798-5a02b2b64de2 | https://islamindallas.librarika.com/search/detail/3938782 |

and it is a well deserved error. the way you want to use the if
command makes no sense at all. it doesn't operate like this. just look
at its documentation and you should understand. you simply cannot have
a global operation being executed on a per (local) atom basis.
you need to include your logical expressions into the atom style
variable definitions, because what you want is a decision that is made
locally not globally. keep in mind that logical expressions in a

Global Warming and the Flu
Among the dire forecasts of global warming alarmists are increasing numbers of flu cases. One claim, for example, is that the winter flu season could become a "year-round event" as "the tropical air mass around the Earth's equator expands".
So if the alarmists are right about higher temperatures in the future, we may well see a drop in flu cases, not an increase.
But don't hold your breath waiting for this to be hailed as a benefit of global warming. Influenza causes several hundred thousand deaths annually around the world. If flu deaths decline, you know what that means, don't you? | eng | b2c79095-5fe3-49eb-be37-78219c5da87b | http://www.globalwarming.org/2007/12/05/global-warming-and-the-flu/ |
How To Clean Data?
Data is the lifeblood of any organization, and keeping it clean is essential to maintaining a healthy operation. Whether you're dealing with customer data, financial data, or another type of data, there are a few basic steps you can take to ensure its accuracy and completeness. Today, we'll explore some tools for data cleaning and how to use them. Keep reading to learn how to clean data.
Understanding Data Cleansing
Data cleansing is the process of identifying and cleaning up inaccuracies and inconsistencies in data. This may involve correcting misspelled words, standardizing data formats, or identifying and removing outliers. Data cleansing can be a time-consuming process, but it is necessary for creating accurate and reliable data sets. The goal of data cleansing is to improve the quality of data so that it can be more effectively used for decision-making.
Data cleansing is an important step in data management and is essential for ensuring that data is accurate and usable for decision-making. By identifying and correcting inaccuracies and inconsistencies in data, data cleansing can improve the quality of data and help organizations make better decisions.
Specialized Cleaning Tools
Specialized data cleaning tools are essential for any business that wants to keep its data clean and organized. These tools typically deal with a particular domain, mostly name and address data, or concentrate on duplicate elimination. They extract data, break it down into individual elements, validate the information, and then match the data. After matching the records, the tool merges and presents them as one.
This process cleans and organizes the data, making it easier to work with and eliminating any possible duplicates. It's critical to have clean data in order to make sound business decisions, and data cleaning tools make this process much simpler.
This can be a huge timesaver, especially if you are dealing with a lot of dirty data. These tools can clean up your data quickly and easily, so you can focus on the important task of analyzing it. ETL tools are frequently used to cleanse and consolidate data so that it can be used in business intelligence (BI) and data mining applications.
Extract, Transform, and Load Tools
Extract Transform and Load (ETL) tools are used to cleanse and prepare data for analysis. The first step is to extract the data from the source. This might be a table in a database, a file on a server, or a data stream from a sensor. The data is then transformed into a format that is ready for analysis. The final step is to load the data into the target dataset. This can also be a table in a database, a file on a server, or a data stream from a sensor.
The transform step is where the real work happens. This is where the data is cleaned and prepared for analysis. During transformation, these tools remove inconsistencies and errors, detect missing information, and transform the data into a format that is ready for analysis
The Challenges of Data Cleansing
Data cleaning is an essential process in data management, but it can also be one of the most challenging. This is because data cleaning can be time-consuming and tricky, especially when dealing with large and complex datasets.
One of the biggest challenges of data cleaning is finding and correcting inaccuracies and inconsistencies. This can be a time-consuming and tedious process, and it's easy to introduce new errors into the data.
Another challenge is ensuring the accuracy and completeness of data. This can be difficult when there is a large amount of data to be cleaned, and it's crucial to ensure that all data is accounted for and correct.
The timely completion of data cleaning tasks is also a challenge. Data cleaning can be a complex and time-consuming process, and it's necessary to ensure that all tasks are completed in a timely manner.
Cleaning Data
The importance of cleaning data is that it's necessary to ensure that data is accurate before it's used for analysis or decision-making. If the data isn't clean, it can lead to inaccurate results and incorrect decisions. Businesses can use specialized data cleaning tools or ETL tools to clean data. While data cleansing comes with challenges, it's an integral part of the decision-making process. | eng | 4bb6bd08-790f-4b5e-ab7f-fa61ec503364 | https://timebusinessesnews.com/how-to-clean-data/ |

The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016
Before, "The Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016 (RPwD)" came into existence, India's legislation concerning persons with disabilities was dealt with under the Persons with Disability Act, 1995 (PwD) which was introduced on February 7, 1996. The PwD Act was the first law introduced by the Indian Government to expound the rights of persons with disabilities. The main motive behind this law was to provide equal opportunities and to bring equal participation of the disabled person in all aspects including education and employment to that of normal persons.
This law mainly defined 7 types of disabilities which range from blindness to mental illness. One of the main provisions of the PwD Act which created impact was that it provides a 3 percent reservation in government jobs for people with disabilities [1]. Even though this Act was landmark legislation it was highly criticized as it provided vague definitions and created difficulty in implementation. For example, a mental illness that was included in the set of disabilities was very difficult to interpret as there was only a little understanding of the nature of the disability and its development in the current field. Furthermore, this Act defines a disabled person as a person suffering from 40% or more disabilities but in the case of mental illness we can't measure the percentage and it also does not specify whether it includes all mental disorders such as epilepsy and dyslexia [2]. The United Nations opted to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2006 and India ratified this convention in 2007. As the 1995 Act had a lot of loopholes it was eventually replaced by the Right of Persons With Disabilities Act, 2016.
The disability mental retardation was changed to intellectual disability which is defined as the limitation in behaviour to adapt to everyday skills that include social and practical skills and intellectual functioning such as reasoning, learning, and problem-solving ability. This Act also gives an elaborate and clear definition of mental illness [3].
The RPwD Act lays down certain principles to empower the person with disabilities they are to respect for inherent dignity, individual autonomy including the freedom to make one's own choices and to become an independent person, non-discrimination, effective participation, equality of opportunity also equality between men and women, accessibility, respect for the children with disabilities and their rights to preserve their identities. According to this Act no person with a disability should not be treated unfairly, women and children with disabilities should enjoy their rights and the government should take necessary measures to ensure that. They also have the right to live with the community. The appropriate government should take measures to protect them from being subjected to torture, cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment, abuse, violence, and exploitation. They have also had the right to equal protection and safety in situations of risk, armed conflict, humanitarian emergencies, and natural disasters. These provisions are dealt under Section 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 of the Act.
No child should be separated from the parents on the grounds of disability except by the order of court if required, in the best interest of the child. The government should ensure that they should have access to all information regarding reproduction and family planning. The election commission of India should ensure that all polling stations are accessible and all material related to the election is made easily understandable for disabled persons. They also have access to justice without discrimination. They have the right to inherit property movable or immovable, control their financial affairs and have access to bank loans, mortgages, and other financial credits. If they are unable to take legally binding decisions on their behalf their guardian can take decisions in a manner prescribed by the State Government. These provisions are dealt under Sections 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14.
Duty of educational institutions, specific measures to promote and facilitate education, adult education is dealt with Sections 16, 17, and 18. The government should also formulate skill development programmes such as vocational training and self-employment. Non- discrimination in employment, equal opportunity policy, maintenance of records, and Appointment of Grievance Redressal officer are dealt with in Sections 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, and 23. Social security, health care facilities, insurance schemes, rehabilitation, research and development, culture and recreation, sporting activities, free education for the children with bench mark disabilities, reservation in the higher educational institution not less than 5%, for government jobs not less than 4% and other reservation in the allocation of land, poverty and other schemes 5% for persons with bench mark disabilities and those in need of high support. These provisions are dealt between Section 24 to Section 38 [4].
The Centre and State Advisory Board for persons with disabilities should be set up and serve as policy-making bodies at the Central and state level. The office of Chief Commissioner was strengthened by 2 commissioners for assistance and an Advisory Committee was set up of not more than 11 members who are experts in various disabilities. The office of State Commissioner is assisted by the Advisory board comprising not more than 5 members who are also experts in various disability fields. The Chief Commissioner and State Commissioner will act as regulatory bodies in grievance redressal and also ensure proper implementation of the Act. District-level committees will also be established and will be monitored by the State Government. The National and State Fund established to support the person with disabilities the existing National Fund and the Trust Fund will now come under the National Fund.
Any person who violates the provisions of any rule under this Act will be imprisoned up to 6 months or will be fined Rs. 10,000 or both. For Future violation and offences, he/she will be imprisoned for a period of 2 years or will be fined Rs. 50,000. If a person intentionally insults or intimidates a person with a disability or sexually exploits women and children with disability will be imprisoned for a period of 6 months which may extend up to 5 years and will be fined. Special courts will be established in each district to handle cases related to violation of rights of persons with disabilities [5].
Case Laws
In Disabled Rights Group v. Union of India[6], this petition was filed to seek judicial intervention in admitting persons with disabilities in law college. The apex court directed all government and higher education institutions to immediately comply with S. 36 of the RPwD Act. The RPwD Act providing reservations in higher education for people with benchmark disabilities does not limit the study in a particular discipline. So, the apex court highlighted this and widened the coverage of its direction to all educational institutions. The apex court not only directed in compliance with the reservation scheme but also stated that it is equally essential to impart education in a fruitful manner. Unless the students with disabilities have easy access to all sections of education the main motive behind this law will not be achieved. The court observed that there were inadequate provisions to facilitate proper education to persons with disabilities and this would amount to discrimination. The apex court directed UGC to set up a committee and consider the feasibility of 'Guidelines for Accessibility for Students with Disabilities in Universities/Colleges' to make a progressive move, the apex court further directed the UGC to weigh the feasibility to set up an in-house body to help persons with disability in educational institutions. The Supreme Court will oversee the effective implementation of the Act.
In Rajive Raturi v. Union of India & Ors.[7], the apex court also acknowledged another petition that proposes all accessibility requirements to meet the needs of visually impaired persons. The Court recognized the concerns of visually impaired people in accessing the obstacle-free walking areas and ease in using transportation facilities. The court stated that without these facilities the visually impaired persons will face difficulties in moving from one place to another, this can also be treated as a violation of fundamental rights of the Indian Constitution under Article 19.
Conclusion
Recently in July 2020, The Union Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment proposed notification for the amendment of the RPwD Act to decriminalise minor offences to improve business sentiment and to unclog the court process. This created an uproar and eventually led to protests from the disabled person community, activists, and organisation. The disabled community contended that the 2016 Act has given the marginalised community robust protection and it should not be amended.
The Department of Empowerment of Persons with Disability under the Ministry stated that decriminalisation of minor offence will considerably lessen the risk of imprisonment for those who do not have malafide intention. Further, they stated that the risk of jail acts as an obstacle in attracting both foreign and domestic investors and it also became pertinent after the pandemic in order to revive the economy. Delhi-based activist Satendra Singh stated that if the government removes penal provision it means diluting the Act and also going against the Commitments it made internationally [8]. Amendments should be made only to strengthen the Act by including Penal Provision and not by removing it. If the penal provisions are removed the perpetrators will no longer be afraid of law which will ultimately lead to an increase in offences and we can't stop the injustice happening to the disabled communities. | eng | 623d9e11-a441-4426-b7f6-325251f1a51c | https://legalreadings.com/rights-of-persons-with-disabilities-act-2016/ |

This is a pure JS library that gives you access to an easy to use API that you can use to create Minecraft Java 1.16.3 servers. This package has types built in. You have full control over the packets that are being sent to the Clients in an easy to use way. This means you can send different information to each Client, so that for example, for one Client it is raining and for a different one it's not.
In this case, there are two Clients online; Notch and jeb_ (top level) and they both see one another. A Player doesn't have to be a Client, it could also just look like one, without being actually connected to the server. Here's an example of that:
Here Notch sees jeb_, but jeb_ doesn't see Notch. Both jeb_ and Notch see the Player (not connected to the server) Hub. Hub isn't a Client that is connected to the server, but looks like one to Notch and jeb_.

Quit work when married

In Mustafa Kemal Atatürk's (anachronistically) "undemocratic" Turkey, women won the right to vote in municipal elections in 1930 and were granted full suffrage by a constitutional amendment on Dec. 5, 1934; 25 years earlier than Swiss women. Turkish women obtained 35 parliamentary seats in elections in 1935.
On the 77th anniversary of the merry event of 1934, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan issued a formal message that pledged "an exemplary country where women take roles in all walks of life in a more efficient and participatory way." Nice? Very nice. But the trouble is with facts and figures.
The gender inequality index prepared by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 2011 put Turkey to the 77th place out of 146 countries. According to the UNDP, only 9.1 percent of Turkish women hold parliamentary seats; 27.1 percent of adult women have a secondary or higher level of education, compared with 46.7 percent of their male counterparts; and female participation in the labor force is 24 percent compared to 69.6 percent for men. Moreover, Turkey is probably better known to the rest of the world for its habitual honor killings, rape stories, underage marriages and violence against women than its beaches, sunshine and kebabs.
This is not surprising at all in a country where the prime minister perpetually prescribes at least three children for every family. But of course, that is not the only explanation. Women's suffrage was granted in Egypt in 1956; in Iran in 1963; in Iraq in 1980; in Jordan in 1974; in Morocco in 1963; in Oman in 2003; in Qatar in 1997; in Libya in 1964; in Tunisia in 1959; and in the United Arab Emirates in 2006. Saudi women do not yet enjoy that right.
Being an "exemplary country where women take roles in all walks of life in a more efficient and participatory way" is not about anniversary-day speeches by dignitaries. It is about the mental paradigm.
The findings of a 2011 survey by a team of academics from Istanbul's Bahçesehir University revealed hints about the related Turkish mental paradigm: 33 percent of Turks think women deserve to be beaten; 60 percent (both male and female) think women should obey men and surprise, surprise, 81 percent identify themselves as religiously devout. A separate study in 2010 had found that 25 percent of Turks think it would amount to sinning if women and men worked in the same office. Not enough to be pessimistic? Then you should try to understand the reality behind the household profiles of Turkey's conservative rulers whom you might naively expect would make Turkey "an exemplary country where," for instance, our first lady graduated from secondary school at 14 and married (President) Abdullah Gül when she was 15. She never worked.
I do not want to go into the stereotypical details of the professional careers of the lady members of the families of our esteemed prime minister and Cabinet members since they are boringly analogous and tell you one thing: for the pious mind, the only suitable profession for a female family member, even if she holds a degree from the world's finest university, is housewifery.
A clear majority of such profiles sport the fancy "quit work when married," with only a couple of ministerial wives in EU-candidate Turkey following professional careers. And simple logic would tell you that this cannot be an unpleasant coincidence.
I do not mean to be disrespectful about the private choices of Cabinet members or toward their spouses and children. Whether their wives and daughters should work or not is entirely their free choice, which no one has any right to approve or disapprove of.
My point is about the undeniable linkage between the choice to avoid work and piousness. And about the irony that the "liberal Muslims" publicly pledge to do what they meticulously avoid at home. | eng | 7f7782c3-c6aa-4d90-a47e-164b947f9cc9 | https://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/opinion/burak-bekdil/quit-work-when-married--8740 |

JULIET, NAKED and why I enjoy reading.
Every time I pick up one of his books, I'm reminded of
why I enjoy reading.
It's simple: I enjoy storytelling. And although it's the reason why I like
movies and gaming, there's something about reading a good story that connects
with me more than the other two mediums ever could. I've done some thinking and, for myself, I've
figured out why. With (most) movies or
games, you're told a story and you see the action. Even if it's dialogue, it's still
action. Everything you see is after the
fact. You're not really given a glimpse
into the thought process, the weighing of options and possibilities and
everything in between. Even the
expositions in movies give you only so much.
That's where a good book has its advantage. The thought process is allowed to be
dissected. You get to see what goes
through a character's head even before he or she makes the simplest decision. You're given history as to why he or she
might feel a certain way. The thought
becomes richer and deeper. And it's this
very reason that makes a book more relatable, more connectable. It parallels reality as you have that
build-up, that drama in your head, that playing out of scenarios before you
make some significant decision in your life.
You just need to match the right story with the right person.
But I digress. The
book!
Juliet, Naked tells the story of Annie and Duncan, a
couple who came to be not because they were initially in love, but because
circumstantially, it was fitting. They
had similar interests, so why not. The
most prominent and central interest between them was in the form of Tucker
Crowe – a famed rock musician in the 80's somewhat akin to Leonard Cohen or Bob
Dylan.
Tucker Crowe, who was a huge star in yesteryear,
disappeared into obscurity at a club one night at the height of his fame. Over the past two decades since his
disappearance, a cult following was built up around him, fueled by the advent
of the internet.
The drama begins when an unreleased live and unplugged
album of Crowe's most famous album "Juliet" arrives at Duncan and
Annie's doorsteps, aptly titled "Juliet, Naked". Duncan, as soon as he listens to it, is
enthralled; it's the best thing he's ever heard. He quickly posts up a glowing review on the
internet in response. The internet geeks
explode. It's the newest material
they've heard from Tucker Crowe in two decades and they bawl in delight.
Annie, however, has a different sentiment.
To her, it's not such a great album. It's in fact, shitty. Not usually one to give into the internet
fanboyisms as Crowologists are wont to do, she drafts up a rather negative
review. As soon as it's up, she's hit
with a wave of backlash from the geeks.
But despite all the noise and internet ruckus on forums,
her review catches the eye of someone in particular. Someone quite important to the fanboys. Yes, Tucker Crowe himself. They begin to build a secret relationship
online, and it's here, that the drama escalates.
The story swings from Annie's perspective to Tucker's and
a bit of Duncan's to give you a full spectrum of views.
As I was suggesting early on, what made Juliet, Naked really
work for me was the relatability of the characters. Sometimes they think how I think and do
things like I do. As I was reading the
book, there were multiple times when I was on the subway, banging the book
against my head because my idiocy felt validated by the characters!
After reading Juliet, Naked, I realized that it helped me
verify either one of three things. That:
a) I'm not a complete
fucking mess,
b) Everyone's a
complete fucking mess; or
c) I'm not a
complete fucking mess because everyone's a complete fucking mess.
Just reading the way Hornby writes his characters, I'm
convinced there's no way that the thought processes aren't from personal
experience. I can't be the only one like
that! This is a testament to Hornby's
writing and why he continues to be my favourite author. There's no other author that I've read where
each book I pick up consistently makes me say, "I do that too!".
The way he writes about relationships, and not even
necessarily the relationships themselves, but everything surrounding them,
continues to echo with me. And it's not
just romantic relationships, but relationships in general encompassing all branches
like friendships, familial, strangers, etc.
On the whole, I think I enjoyed Hornby's Slam more, only
because it focused on the adolescent way of thinking and often times, well...
"I'm just a boy inside a voice".
That's not to take anything away from Juliet, Naked which
is quite an enjoyable read. It hits all
the right emotional cues and is laced with Hornby's style of humour
throughout. If you're not a Hornby fan,
I think this is the way to go. Either
this or High Fidelity. Start there. Til next time, later geeks!

There's nothing quite like the smile and satisfaction you get after you flipped the last page of a good book. Nowadays, I can relate it to the feeling of seeing my bread cooling on the table top after 8 hours of careful tender. I envy you book readers, especially Rebeka and yourself, just because I'm a painfully slow reader and my imagination runs a little too wild that I sometimes forget if I read it or dreamt it. However, I do get to feel a bit of that joy when someone shares it with me! So for that, thank you! | eng | 3ed0d5d5-bf7d-4232-ab8a-1a8bc1684c49 | http://www.billiontyonethgeek.com/2012/05/juliet-naked-and-why-i-like-reading.html |

Nanoscience Moves the Continents
Schematic cross-section of Earth's crust and mantle, showing a profile from the surface to a depth of 3000 km. A local maximum in the viscosity of ferropericlase, which occurs at depths between 700-1000 km, causes subducting slabs from Earth's crust to stagnate at this depth, and also deflects plumes rising from Earth's core.
What is the scientific achievement?
CFN users from Yale University measured the melting behavior of ferropericlase (MgO–FeO), one of the main constituents of Earth's lower mantle, at high pressures using a laser-heated diamond-anvil cell. The measurements indicate that ferropericlase has a local viscosity maximum at pressures of ~40 GPa, likely caused by a spin transition occurring in iron.
Why does this achievement matter?
The melting relations determined by this study predict the ferropericlase viscosity depth profiles required to explain some of the observed tectonics of Earth's continents, such as subducting slabs stagnating at depths between 700 and 1000 kilometers.
What are the details?
Convection provides the mechanism underlying the tectonics of Earth's continents, including subduction of the oceanic lithosphere into the mantle as "slabs," and new rock generation by volcanism. Stagnation of subducting slabs and deflection of rising plumes in Earth's shallow lower mantle have been suggested to result from a viscosity increase at those depths. However, the mechanism for this increase has remained elusive until now. In this work, CFN users examined the melting behavior in ferropericlase (a MgO–FeO binary system) at high pressures using the laser-heated diamond-anvil cell, and showed that the system exhibits a local viscosity maximum at ~40 GPa — likely caused by the spin transition of iron. This result supports a single mechanism being responsible for both slab stagnation and plume deflection in in Earth's mantle.

TI does not provide a driver for the TPS40400. The TPS40400 uses standard PMBus commands to implement output voltage control, so standardized firmware designed to use a processors I2C Master peripheral to send VOUT_COMMAND values to the TPS40400 would work once the VOUT_SCALE_LOOP register is programmed to match the resistor divider used between VOUT and FB. The format used for VOUT_COMMAND in the TPS40400 is Linear16 with an exponent of -9, so each LSB of the 16-bit VOUT_COMMAND value is equal to 2^-9V or 1.95mV
The TPS40400 is deigned to accept frequent output voltage changes as long as the output voltage changes are within the bandwidth of the voltage mode control loop.

Car Mishap
Last Saturday was an unlucky day for our car Nissen. While traveling on Coastal Road going to Manila, its windshield got hit by a stone and cracked. The hubby and his passengers at that time (my in-laws) barely noticed it. They just heard a sound akin to a newly-popped balloon and before they knew it, the windshield was already damaged.
According to the hubby, after the windshield got broken, he was already calculating the expenses in his head. If it were just a dashboard scorecard for reporting (ooopps, not car-related!), the expenses would surely be lesser. But it is a windshield priced at not lower than 25K (total package)…oh goodness gracious!
It's a good thing they didn't get hurt. It could've been worse, like a collision or something. The windshield or any other parts of the car can be replaced anytime, but lives can't.
It's a good thing also that the windshield is gonna be replaced with a new one soon. And we only have to pay a minimal fee for it. Thank God for car insurance! 🙂 | eng | 1d6755d2-0922-40ce-b084-7e3a8137cd44 | https://lifeinmanila.com/2012/09/car-mishap/ |

Don't know about the curries living abroad but here in India till date the girls don't have much say when it comes to marriage and dating and intercourse before marriage is still prohibited and thanks to the arranged marriage system here everyone with functioning limbs and a income would get married no matter how bad they look. That was about the majority of the population. Some of new generation especially in the southern region of India have dating culture which I don't know much about but yeah the one to get girls will definitely will be the one who will be accepted by the girl's family same wise versa
Coming to your question
1. Most of the curries might seem to like white women because of the widespread dms they get and else but as even girls of India get the same messages from Indian creeps who have nothing else to do in their life I would say that the answer will be "not in general". Some might like women of other race but for the majority they prefer their own race
2. As I elaborated above dating culture isn't wide spread in India. Yes tinder and other stuff exists but it's hard that the girls will actually show up even if you get matches.
I personally believe that if they are given freedom they will choose the guy who looks the best. Not necessarily white because they might feel weird with them and also the fact that the majority of the population can't speak or write English for shit. But the the answer would be same 'not in general' | eng | a9e7e21c-1594-4afe-a214-a0b5f1f0240d | https://looksmax.org/threads/question-for-the-curries.53097/ |
First things first, I'm not looking for a man, or a relationship. I'm strictly looking for a woman to embrace a desire I have. I want to experience a night with a female and my husband may or may not join in. If that's not your thing then I'm not interested. I've never been with a woman but really want to. Experienced or not, doesn't matter to me!!

The Problem of Racism In Sports: Football And Boxing
In the world of sports, racism has long been an issue, particularly in football and boxing. It is a major problem that has an impact on not only the athletes but also the spectators, coaches, and authorities who work in the sports industry. Racism in sports can manifest itself in a variety of ways, including verbal discrimination, physical abuse, and the unfair treatment of athletes based on their race. Specifically, in football and boxing, we will discuss the issue of racism in sports in this article.
Football:
One of the most well-liked games in the world is football, which has a long history of racism. This is evident in how spectators, coaches, and referees have acted toward black athletes. For instance, spectators have discriminated against black players by using racist shouts, monkey noises, and other offensive noises. They have also endured racial remarks from officials and coaches. This thing resulted in a number of high-profile instances, like supporters being suspended for their racist behavior and black players being harassed on the pitch.
Additionally, racism in football manifests itself as prejudice in the hiring and advancement of coaches and officials. For instance, there is a lack of black coaches and officials in the sport, and they are sometimes passed over for advancements in favor of their white counterparts. This has resulted in a lack of diversity in the sport, which could be harmful to its growth.
Boxing:
Another sport that has been impacted by racism is boxing. Black boxers in the past were frequently compelled to compete against white boxers and were not afforded the same opportunity. This was especially true when black boxers prohibited from competing in the world championship during the age of segregation. Black boxers were still not able to afford the same opportunities as white boxers after authorities abolished segregation, and they frequently had to compete in different weight divisions.
The way black fighters portrayed in the media is another example of racism in boxing. For instance, boxers of color are frequently represented as being more violent and aggressive, whereas boxers of white skin are portrayed as being more technical and disciplined. This reinforces unfavorable perceptions and may have an impact on how fans and the media view black boxers.
Solutions:
A good effort from all parties concerned, including athletes, coaches, officials, and fans, required to eradicate racism in sports. Increasing the proportion of black coaches and officials in the sport is one way to create a more inclusive and varied atmosphere. A second alternative is to enforce harsher sanctions for racism, such as fines, suspensions, and bans. Athletes, coaches, officials, and fans can all be made aware of the negative impacts of racism in sports through the implementation of education and awareness initiatives.
Along with the implementation of anti-discrimination laws, there should also be active oversight of sports organizations' rules. The media's importance in this struggle must also be appreciated. Because it has a big influence on public opinion and has the potential to be a potent tool for advancing inclusion and diversity in sports.
Conclusion
In conclusion, racism in sports is a major issue that not only impacts the athletes but also the spectators, coaches, and officials that work in the industry. It is an issue that authorities should resolve if the sports industry is to become one that is more inclusive and equal. Racism in sports may be defeated, and a more welcoming and equitable atmosphere for all athletes can be established, with the correct solutions and a collaborative effort from all parties concerned. | eng | 11e0dd12-672a-41ab-8106-dca874e21377 | https://speaksscope.com/the-problem-of-racism-in-sports-football-and-boxing/ |

Are you looking for a major that will challenge your critical thinking and analytical skills? Look no further than the political science program at UC Davis. The exciting field of political science navigates the relationships between individuals, governments, and institutions that shape our world.
At UC Davis, the political science major offers students a robust and comprehensive education. Whether you're interested in American politics, global governance, or international relations, our program has you covered. The major offers engaging coursework and hands-on experiences. You'll develop the skills to navigate the complex and ever-changing political landscape of the 21st century.
At UC Davis the political science division is divided into three majors:
Undergraduate advisor Saira Delgado explains the difference between the two political science majors. "The political science major is intended to give students a broader understanding of political concepts, political institutions, political behavior, political processes," Delgado says. "The political science — public service major is a little bit different. It focuses on American politics and policy, but really focusing on how policy is formulated and implemented and how that works in terms of governing and governance." Students can choose which major fits their interests in the diverse field of politics.

Political science majors dive into the fundamental concepts that underpin the field. They examine power, authority, and democracy. They explore the origins of political institutions. And they analyze contemporary challenges of governments around the world.
But the political science program at UC Davis isn't just about theory. The program also provides opportunities for students to engage with real-world political issues. They become informed and engaged citizens. Students in the major take on internships with local political organizations or participation in political campaigns. You'll have the chance to put your skills and knowledge to work in the real world.
The major also teaches students how to collaborate. "I would say the culture is one of working together," said political science department chair Benjamin Highton. "There's not a competitive zero-sum nature where, you know, for one student to do well requires another student not to do well. So that helps reduce, I think, at least some of the competitiveness."
Resume-building opportunities for political science majors

The political science major offers opportunities to gain experience outside of the classroom. Every year, the Global Learning Hub offers several study abroad programs. "Many of these programs are good fits for political science students," said Ryleigh Parker, peer advisor for political science. "Past programs have taken place in Europe, Asia, and South America. And they have covered topics such as culture, economics, and environmental policy. The breadth of the major means everyone has a different combination of interests and specialties. There's something for everyone. Many students are involved in a variety of extracurriculars, like student government, pre-law organizations, mock trials, student papers, activist groups, and more."
Political science majors can also participate in the UC Davis Washington Program and the UC Center Sacramento Program. There, students get first-hand experience working in government, public policy, and advocacy. The programs supplement classroom education with real-world experience. You can build a network of professional contacts that can serve you well in your future career.
What can you do with a political science degree?

Graduates in political science can apply their skills to many different fields. Students learn critical thinking, collaboration, and fundamental concepts behind organizations and power. These skills open doors both during and after college.
"Students have certainly gone into law and law school government positions at the local, state, federal levels," said undergraduate advisor Saira Delgado. "Nonprofit work, international security, and certainly academia. I have also seen students go into sales, technology, education, consulting, marketing, PR, communications."
Department Chair Benjamin Highton added that he's seen students go to professional schools, such as business and law. Though students can still land a variety of jobs after undergrad. "There's a range of jobs that we will see them go into depending on their focus," Highton said. "Then you also will sometimes see them going into academics and then pursuing a Ph.D. whether in political science or other fields"
Advice for political science majors

The community at UC Davis helps political science majors to navigate undergraduate life. Faculty and students offer their tips for any student wondering if the major is right for them:
Try out some lower-division courses
"The most important advice I would give them is take a couple courses in the department and see if you like it. We all have in our heads preconceived notions about what all these different majors and possibilities are in college. And one thing to find out is what they are actually like. And really the only way you can do that is by taking courses." — Benjamin Highton, political science department chair
Consider double-majoring or minoring
"The political science majors are relatively short majors. There's not a ton of units that students need to take to complete these majors. That actually leaves space for students to be able to explore potentially a double major or maybe a minor or two. Or just being able to take elective courses that may just be able to help them in furthering their career goals or their academic goals. If you want to declare a POL major, also consider what kind of things you may want to study outside of political science." — Saira Delgado, political science undergraduate major advisor
Speak with a peer advisor
"If you are interested in political science, I recommend taking a lower division course (POL 001-004 are good bets) to see if you enjoy it! These four courses are the basic background classes for each of our four concentrations. So they provide a good overview. If you're interested in Poli Sci, I also recommend visiting peer advisor drop-in hours to discuss requirements and any questions." — Ryleigh Praker, peer advisor for political science and political science — public service

About The Book
Countryfile's best nature and wildlife books for 2023
Shortlisted for the Wainwright Prize
'Elegiac, informative and funny; some truly magical encounters in the wild' Peter Fiennes
Britain is teeming with wildlife, often in the most unexpected places. There are stone mines where bats hang out with pot-smoking teenagers and water voles thrive without water in Glaswegian parklands. Our coastlines are laden with seals. That's the good news. The bad news is that a quarter of British mammals are at imminent risk of extinction.
Tim Kendall and Fiona Mathews take us on a safari unlike any other. Armed with binoculars, a Thermos and, regrettably, an inexhaustible supply of puns, they travel from Scotland to the Isles of Scilly in search of their elusive subjects.
You'll find answers to questions you never thought to ask: do pine marten droppings really smell like Parma Violets? Should we give squirrels access to family planning? And what do wild boar have in common with a certain royal? Black Ops and Beaver Bombing is a celebration of Britain's marvellous mammals, and a rallying cry to save them.
About The Authors
Fiona Mathews is professor of environmental biology at the University of Sussex. She is the founding chair of Mammal Conservation Europe and author of the UK government's official census of British mammals. She advises the UK government and its devolved authorities on a variety of conservation issues.
Tim Kendall is professor of English literature at the University of Exeter. He is the author of works of poetry and literary criticism, and he edited Britain's Mammals 2018. He lives in the wilds of East Devon with Fiona, and they share their house with two teenage daughters, two rabbits, a Labrador and a rehabilitating common pipistrelle bat.

"Anang" and "Andreas": Provenance Research on Human Remains in Germany as a Lens on Inter-Colonial History
Human remains occupy a very delicate position in the discussion over the future of ethnographic collections. Provenance research on the skull of a presumed Borneo rebel and murderer, whose skull was donated to Duke Ernest II of Saxe-Gotha in 1862 by a German officer in Dutch services, leads to the story of the rebel's alleged victim. This victim was the first known casualty of the Banjar war in 1859 and Borneo's first Christian martyr. Reduced to a "zoological object," the rebel's individual destiny is forgotten in the museum trajectory, much as that of the victim, who as a non-European was accorded a marginal role at best. The example can serve to provide insight into the types of questions and issues involved in researching the provenance of human remains.
Long forgotten by the general public and specialists alike, the Baroque Palace of Friedenstein in Gotha (Thuringia, Germany) houses notable Indonesian collections in its art, oriental, ethnographic, and naturalistic departments. Some Javanese weapons date back to the very beginnings of the collection as a "chamber of miracles" founded by Duke Friedrich I in the mid-17th century. Donations increased dramatically from the mid-19th century. In this period, German traders, missionaries, administrators, doctors, and military men began to participate in large numbers in the colonial expansion of the Dutch in "East India" – today's Indonesia – in particular, in the colonization of its "outer islands" such as Sumatra, Borneo, and Sulawesi.
Among the large collections – which include ethnographic objects, oriental art, weapons, and remains of exotic animals – are 33 human skulls. After lying forgotten in museum storages for a century and a half, the provenance and history of these skulls is being studied by a multi-disciplinary, international team partly funded by the German Lost Art Foundation. 1
Provenance and history of the collection of Indonesian skulls of the Schloss Friedenstein Gotha Foundation, project KK_LA09_II2020 ( and Information not referenced here is from unpublished archival sources for this project, planned to be completed by May 2022. See also
One of the earliest collectors to be found in the museum inventory was the "Royal Dutch Captain Ullmann," who played a key role in sending the skulls to Friedenstein. Captain Ullmann spent close to 25 years in Sumatra, Borneo, and Java. During a home leave from his service in the Banjar War (1859-1863) in Borneo, he donated 48 items to the Duke, which entered the latter's "Art Cabinet" on September 4, 1862. The donation comprises weapons of various types, artisanal products, articles of clothing, jewelry, and objects of everyday and religious use. Also included are several rare or historically important items, such as personal weapons of "a priest from Mecca (actually a haji), who played an important role in the murder of the Christians in Banjarmasin in the year 1859."
According to a list written by Ullmann, most of the items are said to originate from different parts of Borneo, with a few from Sumatra. Somewhat hidden at the end of the list are four human skulls, under a special heading – "Zoological Objects" – that also includes three bottles with animal preparations in spiritus and a large skull of a Gavial Crocodile [Fig. 1]. The human skulls are marked in China ink with numbers 42-45 and the inscription "Kapit (for "Captain") Ullmann," together with the sign for his military rank consisting of three points between two lines. The skulls were later mounted on wooden stands including names and some biographical information. They became part of a collection of 42 Asian "race skulls," for the most part from Batavia hospitals. Of these 42 skulls, 33 are still present in the collection, currently in Gotha's Perthes Forum.
For all four skulls, Ullmann's list gives personal names and ethnic attributions. It also mentions that they belonged to murderers: two of them were said to have "participated in the murder of the Europeans," while another "participated in the murder in the Banjarmasin area." In addition, it is said in museum catalogues and/or on the stands that they were executed, an addition possibly provided orally by the donor.
Osteoanthropological research suggests that two of these men were decapitated, followed by their heads being exposed on stakes or poles for an extended period. This was a usual practice after executions.
The Banjar War
The expressions "murder of the Europeans" and "murder in the Banjarmasin area," without any further explanation, suggest that the events referred to were known to the recipients. In fact, the news about the dreadful "Massacre of Europeans in Borneo," which occurred in late April and early May 1859, spread far beyond the Indies' and Dutch world. Every important German- and English-language newspaper reported about it.
For instance, the Welsh newspaper Illustrated Usk Observer and Raglan Herald reported the following intelligence on July 23, 1859, from a correspondent at Batavia forwarded to Scottish merchants Finlay and Co.: "We have the greatest regret in informing you that we have […] received the most disastrous tidings regarding the coal mine establishment of Kalungair, 2
Erroneously for Kalangan
which has, by some accounts, been entirely, by others only partly, destroyed by an insurrection among the native subjects of the Sultan of Banjermassing; 3
Banjarmasin on Borneo's south coast, capital of the sultanate and main Dutch colonial center.
but, saddest of all, the whole of the European employés have been brutally murdered, without leaving one to tell the tale." The paper goes on to explain the causes of the insurrection: Disputes on the Sultan's legitimate succession and agitation by "Mohamedan priests" (actually hajis) returned from Mecca. Among the 50 or 51 European victims are mentioned four German missionaries, three of their wives and a number of children. While the information so far is generally accurate, this is definitely not the case with the paper's contention that the "cause of the insurrection proceeds in no way from dislike to the mines." The statement is clearly meant to placate alarmed shareholders in the recently established coal mining industry. Actually, the mines were scenes in which workers – consisting largely of native debt-slaves and chain gang laborers often brought over from Java suffered terrible brutality. Consequently, large numbers sided with the rebels and turned against their bosses during the attacks.
Along with the Dutch and indigenous mining personnel, members of the Rhenish Mission Society were attacked and killed at several stations. These German people were not collateral victims as has sometimes been claimed. Rather, the Christian mission constituted a threat to Muslim activists who came under increasingly anti-Christian influence on their pilgrimage to Mecca. Also, many Dayaks in and around the mission settlements had developed strong resentments due to violence exerted by some of the missionaries towards redeemed debt-slaves living and working in their colonies. Dutch retaliation for the initial attacks soon developed into a long and bloody conflict known as the Banjar War. With utmost cruelty on both sides, the war saw the participation of large numbers of foreign mercenaries from Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, France, and Luxemburg. Although it officially ended in 1863, resistance and "punitive expeditions" continued until 1905.
Captain Ullmann
Captain Ullmann played a crucial role in the war. Born in Pirmasens (Bavaria) in 1813, he entered the Dutch military service as a volunteer at the age of 18 and came to the Dutch East Indies in 1841 after having participated in the suppression of the Belgian uprising in 1831-1834. He fought in Sumatra and was involved in important cartographic endeavors both in Sumatra and Borneo. After being awarded the knighthood of the Militaire Willemsorde, he got married at the end of 1852. He produced an important description of the island of Bangka, besides other ethnographic and archeological contributions. In 1857, he was promoted to the rank of a captain and made military commander of the Zuid- en Ooster-Afdeeling of Borneo, based in Banjarmasin.
Upon receiving intelligence of increasing unrest from Dayak or Banjarese informants, he warned of the impending uprising, asking for military reinforcement. The danger was minimized by the civil Resident, another German, resulting in severe conflict between the two men. When finally the uprising broke out in late April of 1859, troops were sent over from Java, and Colonel Andresen took over both the civil and military command. Hurt by the loss of his function, placed under the command of a junior officer, and suffering from severe health problems, Ullmann tried to obtain an honorable discharge or at least a leave, all without success.
In 1860 Ullmann took part in the "castigation" (tuchtiging) or "punitive expedition" under the new military commander Major G.M. Verspijck, which was undertaken in revenge for the humiliating destruction of a Dutch war ship 'Onrust' (which translates as 'Unrest,' an exceptional name for a ship). The major ordered: "Every Dayak or Malay showing evidence of complicity in the crime has to be put to death without mercy, every village in which any object from the Onrust was found, be laid in ashes. Only women and children should be spared." Diaries of participants and contemporary reports amply document that the campaign took place accordingly, with countless burned villages and rice-fields, and summary executions of prisoners.
Skulls became thus available in great numbers, initially as trophies, for which the Dutch authorities offered fixed rewards, varying according to the wanted person. Soon, such skulls also came to meet the increasing demand for "race skulls," which became popular in the Dutch East Indies for craniological studies. Major Verspijck, as a member of the Royal Naturalistic Association, was asked "to help the Association in obtaining skulls of known persons, stating their names, their place of birth, etc., and also to add some indications about the easiest way to remove the soft parts of skulls."
Ullmann must have obtained his four skulls in 1860, since, having finally been granted his home leave, he left Borneo for Java around December 19, 1860. Unless the skulls were sent by someone else after his departure or were obtained in Java rather than directly in Borneo, we can therefore take the middle of December 1860 as the latest possible date for the death of these individuals.
"Anang"
Let us now have a closer look at one of the skulls, Nr. 43 on Ullmann's list. The entry reads in German, "Anang. Malaijer geboren zu Tjoeboel (Bandjermassing) hatte theilgenommen am Mord der Europäer." ("Anang. Malay born at Tjoeboel (Banjarmasin), had participated in the murder of the Europeans.")
According to osteoanthropological research, he was male, 30-45 years old at the time of his death, of medium height (160.8 ± 7 cm). The skull vault is stained, apparently from dirt or blood, and there are remnants of grease on the skull base, indicating an insufficient, probably hasty preparation. There are various skeletal alterations probably associated with a weakened immune system due to nutritional deficiencies or chronic infections.
The most interesting information is found in Dutch handwriting on a piece of old paper glued on top of the skull: "Anang, born at Gunung Cubul above Sungai Raya, murderer of Andreas Jacob and participant in two attacks on Pengaron, faithful follower of Pambakal Aliakbar, Banjarese"[Fig. 2]. 4
"Anang geb. te Goenoeng Tjoeboel boven Soengei Raja, moordenaar van Andreas Jacob en deelnemer aan twee aanvallen op Pengaron trouwe volgeling van den muiteling Pembekkel Aliakbar. Bandjeres". Pambakal (Banjarese), Pamakal (Dayak), Pembekal (Malay) or Pembekkel (Dutch) is a term for a village chief.
A similar label is found on a second skull. The use of the Dutch language, content, and writing style all indicate that the label was written by a person habitually writing in Dutch. The content presupposes familiarity with the local situation and events. A native person would have written in Malay, the lingua franca generally used also to address Dutch colonial personnel. The handwriting is not Ullmann's, and he would probably have used his native German to address persons in Gotha. The fact that the labels appear to have been written by another person might indicate that Ullmann did not take these two skulls from the site of the decapitation himself, but received them from another, probably Dutch, person.
Anang or nanang was originally a title for nobility in the Hindu Kingdom of Dipa Negara and the subsequent Islamic Sultanate of Banjar. Later it became a common nickname for boys among the Banjar people. In fact, several fighters called Anang are known from the early phase of the Banjar war.
Interestingly, the ethnic attribution "Bandjeres" is changed to "Malay" in the museum documents, following "racial" classification usage of the time. Gunung ("mountain") Cubul, now called Bukit ("hill") Cubul, is located in today's Desa ("town") Madurejo, in South Kalimantan. In 1859, the area was part of the region of Sungkai, over which Pambakal Ali Akbar, whom "Anang" was said to follow faithfully, was chief. Ali Akbar was among the main leaders of the massive assault on the fortified Oranje Nassau coal mine at Pengaron on April 28, 1859.
"Andreas," the purported victim, was born around 1828. After the death of his Dayak mother, he was raised and adopted – along with his younger brother Jacob – by J.H. Barnstein (1802-1863), the first Rheinisch missionary in Borneo. His Dayak name, Kedjang (meaning "stiff"), points to a somewhat difficult character. He became a missionary teacher and part-time trader, joined German explorer H. Von Gaffron (1813-1880) on his pioneering expedition in West Kalimantan in 1853, and finally became a writing clerk at the Kalangan mine. On May 3, Barnstein wrote in a letter what happened on April 28 or 29 after the attack on Pengaron: "24 Dayaks, who had taken Mohammedan wives there and lodged outside the fort, had joined the enemy. Our Andreas, Jacob's brother, who supported himself by trade and wanted to come to Banjer anyway, 5
Several newspaper reports state that "Andreas Jacob" was sent to bring news of the attack to Banjarmasin.
had escaped with others just before the attack, but at Sungai Raya, 1 hour from Pengaron, they found the river blocked; the boats were examined, the Mohamedans were let through, but our Andreas, one of our baptized, confessed that he was a Christian. He was promised freedom if he would become a Mohamedan, the prayer formula was recited to him, but Andreas refused to repeat it. There he was stabbed and is thus, as far as we know, the first blood witness of our community. His father was Chinese, his mother a Dayak. The matter is confirmed, because a Mohammedan woman, mother of Mr. Eman, has solemnly confessed this as an eyewitness here before the court." In several other early reports, the name of the victim is given as "Jacob," "Andreas Jacob," or "Andries Jacob." Whether Andreas used his younger brother's name as a family name or he was simply being confused with Jacob, who lived outside of Pengaron, cannot be established based on available sources. Unfortunately, the court testimony mentioned by Barnstein could not be located. It might be hidden in military archives in Bandung, which remain inaccessible so far.
Although he was hailed as Borneo's first martyr, on the memorial picture of the killed missionaries later published by the missionary society, his portrait is missing, as are those of the killed children. His death as "first blood-witness" in European-type clothing, being speared by an olo Kajau (headhunter), is represented only marginally in a vignette drawing as part of the frame for the main picture [Fig. 3]. In Gereja Kalimantan Evangelis, the region's church that eventually grew as a late fruit of Rheinisch missionary activities, murdered German missionaries are remembered on certain festive days, while Andreas, the first martyr, remains entirely unknown.

On December 12, 1860, the newspaper Java-bode reported: "On November 26, five mutineers were hanged in Martapura, of whom two had participated in the murder of Mr. Jacob at Pengaron, and another, former watchman of Mr. Wijnmalen, who first took down the Dutch flag at the latter's establishment. Now, everything here is quiet and peaceful, etc." 6
"Den 26sten November heeft men te Martapoera vijf muitelingen opgehangen, van wie twee deel hadden genomen aan den moord op den Heer Jacob te Pengaron, en een ander, gewezen oppasser van den Heer Wijnmalen, die het eerst de Hollandsche vlag bij diens établissement naar beneden rukte. Thans is hier alles stil en rustig, enz."
The latter deed is mentioned on the label on a second skull donated to Gotha together with Anang's. Therefore, it can be assumed that this execution was the origin of at least these two skulls. The date of the hanging is two to three weeks before the latest possible date established above. Ullmann would thus have had time to get a hold of the skulls and have them prepared.
What we do not know is how and why he was able to obtain them. From other cases, it is known that local people brought the heads of enemies to military or civil authorities to prove their death, often to claim the head money, even for victims of an execution. Unfortunately, no other report confirming the newspaper article has turned up. Again, it would be most helpful to consult documents that remain inaccessible in the Indonesian military archives. Other possible sources of information might be found in letters, diaries, or personal memoirs by Ullmann, other participating soldiers, or surviving missionaries; in Banjarmasin archives; or in oral traditions of regional families.
To make the matter more complicated, another man said to be the killer of "Mr. Jacob" was caught together with five others in the wilderness near Sungai Raya on March 20, 1861: a certain Poe Said, Ali Akbar's "infamous brother." 7
I thank Mansyur M.Si., M.Hum in Banjarmasin for some of the information in this paragraph.
A month later, on April 26, five "mutineers"were hanged, among them a certain Kemis, watchman of Wijnmalen and murderer of Mr. Boodt at Kalangan, as well as "the presumed perpetrators of the murder of Mr. Andrias [sic] at Pengaron." Whether any of these are identical with "Anang" cannot be determined; after all, 24 fighters were involved in the killing of Andreas, also known as Mr. Jacob. On October 9, 1861, Ali Akbar turned up in the Martapura region with 400 armed men "who had participated in the murder of Jacobs [sic]." If the skull brought to Gotha by Ullmann was from a man who died in 1861, it would have had to be sent to Europe rather than apprehended by Ullmann in the field, since he left Batavia for the Netherlands on March 18.
In Gotha, at the end of May 1864, "Anang's" skull, together with the three others, was transferred from the "Art Cabinet" to the craniological collection of the "Natural History Cabinet." There it was integrated into the Sammlung Vierfüssler (Collection of Quadrupeds) as homo sapiens together with the other mammals, in exchange for a number of ethnographic objects that did not fit the modern scientific specialization of the Naturalienkabinett.This recontextualization marked the shift of interest from individual war trophies to natural scientific, actually zoological, study objects. The rebel from Borneo had definitely lost the last traces of his obscured identity, much as his purported victim, the forgotten martyr.
What this case study illustrates is that provenance research into museum collections can unravel much more than just one particular history. Not only is there information found about the skull and its specific historical context, but also about collection practices in general, about repression and extreme violence in a colonial context, about processes of forgetting and remembering, and about changing meanings and contextualizations of these skulls. Finally, it reminds us of the presence of human remains and skull collections, not only in formerly colonizing countries and established anatomical collections, but also in other countries and collections.

In this week's episode, we amplify the voice of pre-med student and entrepreneur Sarah V. Bondzie. Sarah's focus is in the area of Optometry, where she currently scribes for Optometrists and shadows surgeons at Nemours DuPont Children's Hospital.
At the age of 23, under the guidance of her Pharmacist father, she created her very own eye vitamins catered to vision health and whitening the sclera by the name of "Bonne Vue" BVE eye multivitamins. BVE capsules are natural minerals and vitamins which help to replenish, nourish, and brighten the eyes. Their focus lies primarily on nature's playground with ingredients like goji berries, green tea, riboflavin, lutein, and flax seeds. During their research, they made sure to stand out by keeping the necessary vitamins for healthier vision but in a more fruitful way. Bonne Vue's vision is to reduce the risk of getting eye diseases and experiencing any AMD-related vision loss.
Listen in as we speak about Sarah's journey in optometry.
What you'll learn:
What sparked Sarah's interest in the field of optometry?
The representation gap of black professionals in the field.

Saroo Brierley's Biography
Saroo Brierley is the inspiration behind the award-winning film, 'Lion' which is a remarkable and touching story of survival and sheer determination.
Saroo was born in a small Indian town. In 1986, aged only 5, he lost all contact with his family when he was separated from his brother at a train station. He never saw his brother again.
After living on the streets of Calcutta for three weeks by himself, Saroo was placed in a local orphanage before being adopted by an Australian family. He grew up with his new parents in Hobart, Tasmania for the next 25 years. But he was unable, and unwilling, to forget the land of his childhood.
Determined to rediscover his past, he embarked on a virtual odyssey of his homeland and, after many hours pouring over Google Earth, armed only with the images etched into his memories as a 5 year old, he managed to recognise his home town, and track down his mother.
Their reunion in 2012 made headlines across the world, and his full story is recounted in his No.1 international bestselling autobiography, A Long Way Home.
The film 'Lion', which stars Nicole Kidman and Dev Patel, was released in November 2016 and nominated for four Golden Globe and six Academy Awards | eng | 54f5cf65-48d6-467a-ab14-8c59e819d552 | https://www.chartwellspeakers.com/speaker/saroo-brierley/ |

Used Coffee Grounds Make For Stronger Concrete
Coffee is a drink that keeps on giving. Whereas once you've finished drinking your coffee you may assume that its gifts have been exhausted (even though you no longer are), but that's really where it all begins. Industrious folks have found ingenious and eco-frinedly uses for spent coffee grounds including bio-fuel, biodegradable plastic, a palm oil substitute, shoes and clothing, brain activity sensors, materials for roads, and battery electrodes. And now, Australian engineers are looking to grow that list even more by creating a newer, stronger type of concrete from, in part, used coffee grounds.
As reported by The Guardian, engineers from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) have found a way to convert used coffee grounds into a substance that, when added to traditional concrete, makes it roughly 30% stronger. Their finding were recently published in the Journal of Cleaner Production. To do this, they take used coffee grounds, which Australia produces an estimated 165 million pounds of per year, and turn it into biochar through a process known as pyrolosis.
For pyrolysis, coffee grounds gets heated to 350°C (662°F) in an oxygen-deprived environment "to prevent carbon dioxide from being produced" and "[adding] to greenhouse gas emissions," state's co-lead author Dr. Rajeev Roychand. Their process has the knock-on effect of being more energy efficient than most pyrolysis operations, which require much higher temperatures, generally ranging between 700°C and 900°C (1,292°F to 1,652°F).
The result is biochar, a porous lightweight residue similar to that of charcoal. When added in place of 15% of the sand used in creating traditional concrete, the resulting mix was found to be 29.3% stronger. The additional strength is due to the porous nature of the coffee biochar, which the concrete mixture binds more firmly to.
The newer, more resilient concrete is a eco-friendly double whammy. It takes a material headed for a landfill and finds a new use for it as well as reduces the amount of natural sand being used in construction.
Use of coffee biochar in concrete is still in the early stages, but per the Guardian, researchers are already "collaborating with local councils on future infrastructure projects such as the construction of walkways and pavements."
Still, it's an exciting development and further, indisputable proof that the good coffee can do is limited only by human imagination. Some may even call it… concrete evidence. | eng | 5a893d74-f25d-4c80-a217-7ef44453fc65 | https://sprudge.com/used-coffee-grounds-make-for-stronger-concrete-214469.html |
Bitcoin mining extremely lucrative: More profit in Q2 than in all of 2022
Bitcoin Miners Profiting from Increased Revenue
Bitcoin (BTC) miners are experiencing a surge in profitability, with revenue reaching $184 million in the past quarter. This represents a staggering 270% increase compared to the previous quarter and surpasses the total revenue generated throughout 2022.
The primary factor driving this significant growth in revenue is the introduction of BRC-20 tokens on the Bitcoin network. This innovative method of token sales, along with the booming demand for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), has led to a frenzy of activity on the Bitcoin blockchain, resulting in a higher number of transactions.
In addition to the token frenzy, the surge in Bitcoin revenue can be attributed to the rising BTC price. At the beginning of the year, Bitcoin was trading around $17,000, but it has since nearly doubled in value, reaching almost $31,000.
Halving Event Looming
However, there is a caveat to the current mining profitability. Miners are currently earning 6.25 BTC per block, which serves as a powerful incentive for their massive hashing power. However, this reward structure will change with the upcoming halving event in May, which occurs every four years. The halving will halve the rewards to 3,125 BTC per block, potentially impacting the profitability of mining.

El Salvador's Ambitious Bitcoin Mining Project
Reflecting the lucrative nature of mining, Volcano Energy, an El Salvadoran company, recently secured $250 million for an ambitious Bitcoin mining venture. This project, backed by renewable energy sources, aims to become one of the top twenty largest mining operations globally. Max Keizer, the company's director, estimates that the project will generate 241 megawatts of energy, primarily utilizing solar and wind power.
The mining project will be situated in the Metapán region of El Salvador, and it has received government support from the country, which recognized Bitcoin as legal tender last year. The combination of abundant renewable energy and favorable governmental regulations makes El Salvador an attractive location for mining operations.
Conclusion
In summary, Bitcoin miners are currently enjoying a surge in revenue, primarily driven by the introduction of BRC-20 tokens and the increasing popularity of NFTs. The rise in BTC price has further contributed to the profitability of mining. However, the impending halving event may impact future profitability. Despite this potential hurdle, the mining industry continues to attract significant investment, such as the ambitious project in El Salvador, which showcases the potential for sustainable and large-scale mining operations. | eng | ef54bd24-ca31-412f-b6af-544c338cb4f1 | https://cryptodetective.net/bitcoin-mining-extremely-lucrative-more-profit-in-q2-than-in-all-of-2022/ |

What are literals in MySQL?
junho 23, 2023 | por dbsnoop
In the example above we've assigned the literal ALEXANDRE to the var_Name variable. We can say that the content (or meaning) of var_Name is ALEXANDRE.
Ah! Got it!!! Everything between quotes is a literal. Not so fast. The analogy is good but imperfect.
SET var_I_like_move_move_it = FALSE;
SET @var_Price = 10;
SET @Qty = 3;
SET @Total = @var_Price * @Qty;
FALSE (0) is a literal that has been assigned to var_I_like_move_move_it. Although my children love Madagascar, and, I am sympathetic to King Julien, I don't like to dance. Therefore, FALSE (0 in MySQL) describes the contents of the variable to which it was assigned.
10 is the literal assigned to the integer variable @var_Price. Like, 3 tells me how much the @Qty variable is worth. The computation (calculation) of the literals contained in the environment variables @Var_Price and @Qty describe the environment variable @Total, or the value within the variable.
So a literal can be of any type: string, numbers, dates, booleans, or even binary.
SELECT * FROM tab_1 WHERE purchase_date > = '2020-01-01'
The literal '2020-02-01' was used to make a comparison with the purchase date, making it possible to filter the data from table tab_1. | eng | a8102670-8879-4adf-bfb5-88a80107979e | https://dbsnoop.com/what-are-literals-in-mysql/ |

Psalms 37:1-11
Bitterness is a remnant of something very distasteful left in your mind and heart. Hebrews 12:15 "see to it that no one comes short of the grace of God, that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled." As long as the root is still there, the sickening feeling will return again and again. "Do not fret" What to do to uproot bitterness 1. Wait (vs. 7) Nothing earthly lasts forever. (2, 11) Don't let bitterness control your actions. 2. Change your focus of attention (vs 4) a. Delight in the Lord. b. Commit your way to Him. c. Trust in Him.
3. Act Constructively . Repent from evil and do good. (vs. 8, 11) The only action you need to be taking is positive action. Jesus' example 1. John 17:3 He knew He would be glorified. 2.

Bob: So today we begin with a question, how did we get here? How did you and I, and our society get from a place where we were little kids able to play with those little door stopper, things that go, buuu…dooiiiiiiiii on the back of the door for hours or a cardboard box and some crayons making spaceships, or like hanging over the floor vent and just stick our face in it and say, look, I am your father or in front of fans or things like that. How did we go from being children that was at that level of total involvement and total joy in life to a place where right now, based on the statistics of everything that's happening and I get the statistics can lie and are skewed and all kinds of other stuff, but based on the general trends of what's happening in our society right now that mental health care is like one third of all of healthcare costs that it's a $200 billion industry that people actually grow up looking forward to the day where they can go to school for years so that they can step into an office helping people out with their depression and anxiety issues, where they can step into an office with a steady stream of people coming in with ailments. [01:47.3]
Not because they're sadistic or they're excited that people are suffering, but because it's so common in the world that it's accepted as a fact that this is just the nature of human life. That this is the way things go, that this is what we're in for. How did we get to this point where if you look, take all these statistics and then you break them down so that you get a clear picture by just imagining an average street. Let's say there's 20 houses on an average street, 20. That means when you look down the street, your street, or your apartment building floor, or your complex or something like that. And you look at around 20 of those houses, that means seven to eight of the couples in those houses are going to be divorced in the next five to eight years. That means three or four of the teenagers in those homes are going to be contemplating suicide and two of them, one to two of them will actually attempt it. That means that about three of these teenagers will leave high school with a drug issue or having tested drugs out for the first time. That means that there's domestic violence happening in one to two of those homes on a regular basis that doesn't even count verbal abuse or anything of that sort that happens and isn't really qualified as domestic violence. [02:59.6]
Just down your street alone, that type of stuff is happening. That means that there are that like a good, solid 60% of those homes people are going to addictive behaviors of some kind. That means that half of the people in those homes are on medication for some sort of mental ailment. This is the state that we've come to for the world today. How did we get here? And more importantly, what if we got here because we were looking at the situation wrong and what if there's a simpler and more direct way out? [03:31.7]
I mean, I could look at my life, right? I started out my life, my father is a fighter pilot. We were, I had a great childhood by all accounts. I mean, we moved into different places. I lived in Europe for about six years. Lived in various places all over the US, had some amazing opportunities. Some opportunities, obviously I missed because I didn't stay in one place for, for a long time. So, I had a great childhood, many people have, my wife had a great childhood, but she stayed in one place pretty much the whole time, different opportunities presented for all of us. I had two sisters; we didn't have any family issues so to speak. You know, there wasn't really any sense of mental illness or anything there in the family. Wasn't a lot of hatred or drama and whatnot and yet still by age eight, I was worried about what people thought about me. By age 14, 13, I was shoplifting and trying to do things that were against the laws of the land, just so that I could fit in with a group of friends. [04:30.5]
By age 14, I had discovered pornography and all of its associated activities. And by age 17 or 18, I had contemplated suicide for the first time and was just, just, you know, even just in fleeting passing thoughts. By age 24, I was married, but I was hating myself so much and it took me until age 32 before I could finally get out of the death spiral that was all of my compulsive behaviors and my relationship struggles and my hatred of myself and all this stuff. I had a great childhood, but I thought there was something wrong with me and that I would never measure up to anything that I, that it wasn't even possible for me to measure up that I was a huge disappointment that nobody wanted me around that I wasn't lovable and all of these different things. How does that happen? How do we go from like on my outside, everything's perfect, but on the inside, it's not. Well, let's start at birth, shall we? [05:28.9]
Get this, when you're born, you come out of the womb and the perceptions that you have are, there's just this haze of light and color and sound and it's all together. You don't have any discrimination between, what's an object, what's not an object; it's all brand-new information. And in the midst of all of this, you start hearing noises, right? And you start feeling things and you start to kind of figure out that this body thing that you have is somehow attached to you more than the thing across the room, right? Or the other colors like you can, will, and the hand moves, but you can't will and the, the little doily on top of the bed, what's it called? It's not a doily, the little spinny things on top of the crib that, that that's not moving, just because you're willing it necessarily. And so, you start to associate, okay, cool. This body is me and that isn't me. And as soon as you have this notion of identity, this buildup of, Oh, this is me, what happens? Well, now you have something to protect, right? And so, you don't have it as kids. If you've ever watched infants and toddlers run around there, they have no real sense of where their body is in space. A lot of times it takes a little bit of training, but they avoid things or they get scared and whatnot. And then they start hearing sounds. [06:43.2]
And let's say your name was Bob, let's just say it was. You hear the sound, Bob. You don't know what it means. It doesn't have any sense to you. But that sounds, it seems to proceed somebody showing up and making fun noises that you're like, Oh, Hey there, Oh, and you get attention and you get held and you get rocked and all kinds of other stuff. And so, you start to associate, Oh, when I hear that sound, when I hear that sound, that means I'm going to get a cool experience. Right. And then pretty soon you start hearing the sound and somewhere along the way, you're like, Oh, when I hear that sound, that means someone is trying to get ahold of me. And then pretty soon you get to school and someone says the sound, Hey, Bob, and you raise your hand. Or I raised my hand and I say, that's me. It's not me. It's just sound waves in the air. But I have made believe that those sound waves are me. And as a result, because I think it's me because it's become a part of my identity. Now it's something I have to protect. [7:41.6]
Have you ever heard the phrase, protecting your good name? You protect your reputation when someone says Bob, Oh, it feels like they hurt you. When all they did was make a sound. And when they go Bob, Oh, it sounds like they tickled you or something good's happening inside you, when all they did was make a sound. Because of my association with the sound Bob and your association with your name, because you believe it's you, as soon as it gets tickled or smashed around in some way, as soon as it gets dragged into conversation, whole parts of your emotional self-jumps into the fray to try and protect it, to keep it safe, to keep it alive. Same with your body. Now, this happens with all kinds of other things as you and I grow up. You grow up and you start to identify with your name and then your last name. Oh, a gardener does this and a gardener doesn't do that. Oh yeah. And then your socioeconomic status and the career of your dad and the subjects you're good at, in school and the clubs that you're in and the sports that you play and your school mascots and your hometown, and then your favorite college team and your religion and your nationality and your political party and the color of your hair and the, your height and weight and the clubs you're in and the extra hobbies that you have and get involved in. [09:05.3]
And then you get identified with the things you've done and the skills you've learned, all of these millions of little fake IDs that you and I made, none of them have anything to do with your original nature, with the thing that was born. They're just experiences. They're just skillsets. Right? I can teach someone to do accounting and that doesn't make them a better being. It just means they're capable with accounting, but we think that our skills are us. And so, we end up having to protect them. So then when somebody like makes an insult toward a certain skillset, like, Oh, that's just stupid. Like my, my son's friends right now, my son's really into Rubik's cubes and has been studying at nonstop for the last few weeks and is doing incredible times on his Rubik's cube. And some of his friends think it's dumb. Now, do they actually think it's dumb? Or are they jealous? Well, that's yet to be decided. Right? [09:56.1]
But because they're saying it there's a certain sense of him that like, feels like it has to protect it. And then he might get upset when people make fun of it. Right. But someone can insult your religion and all of a sudden you have to go to the defense. If your religion is true, does it need a defense? It's going to be true, no matter what, right? Something at some point in time is going to bear it out. Do they have to believe that it's true in order for it to be true? No, but because it's our identity we go on and we have to defend it. Same with political parties, same with jobs and careers and the way that you think about entrepreneurship or the way that you think about money, all these things, Oh, that's dumb. That's stupid. And I do this. It's not like I'm exempt from this. We get into this place where, who I am has to be protected because if that's wrong, then somehow, I die. Never mind that we haven't died whenever we've changed our opinions, because you've changed your opinion during life, you've gotten into new interests and discarded old ones, and it feels like you're changing who you are and you've become a better person or something, but really, really have you changed your essential nature? Have you really? Or have you just simply changed your circumstances and interests? [11:02.0]
If you or someone you know is looking to drop the F-bomb of "Freedom" in their life, whether that's from past trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, or any other host of emotional and personal struggles, but they just don't know how or wants some help doing it. Head on over to thefreedomspecialist.com/feelbetternow and check out some of the things we've got in store for you or book a call so we can look at your unique situation and get you the help that you're looking for. [11:30.2]
So, we get to this point where we have this set of fake IDs, that this is who we are. And someone else has a different set. And someone else has a different set. And these authorities that we believed in our life are standing up and they're telling us, no, this is the right set to have. And so, we all start believing there's something wrong with us. And this starts from the time we're a kid when we are like two, three feet tall and adults that are five, six feet tall, AKA giants with much louder voices and much stronger arms and stuff, sit there and even with a kind voice, look at us with so much love and they say, no, that's not how you do it. No that's wrong. Or you should do this, or that's not appropriate. Or this, that, and the other. I'm not saying it's bad or good people want what they want adults throw a, we'd throw our own temper tantrums all the time, but people want what they want. That's fine. That's happening. [12:23.8]
And the kids without anything else to reference can easily start looking at that as, Oh, obviously there's something that is I'm supposed to be that's not me. And so, this knowing, feeling shows up this idea that here I am, somebody who's got something wrong with him. Somebody who wasn't born quite right, and up springs, this coaching industry not only is the mental health industry, a huge industry, the coaching industry has taken the world by storm. It might even be more lucrative than the mental health industry in many ways. And you have people all over the planet that are running around, trying to improve their life, trying to improve who they are by trying to improve their circumstances, nothing wrong with changing your income levels and all this other stuff. But a lot of that stuff is built around people saying, no, no, your identity is wrong. Like you can't think of yourself this way, you have to think of yourself this way. [13:17.3]
And they had people run around and try and invent or create and imagine a different identity for themselves when they haven't even discovered the true nature of who they are to begin with. You see a lot of the personal development and self-improvement work stuff that I've done. And I was stuck in this drag for a long time and I think I'm probably still stuck in it in certain ways. A lot of self-improvement and personal development is around this idea that, Oh, God made everything else perfect in creation except for me, he messed up royally on this one. So, hold my beer. I got to get into the fray and fix God's handiwork. Or if you don't believe in God, you can say the universe in life somehow seems to have orchestrated all of the cosmos just fine. But this one me, it's got a problem with. Isn't that arrogant? Isn't that a little bit too arrogant to suppose that you and I have the capacity to judge whether or not the creation itself made a mistake on us. Sure, we may not be having experiences that we like, but the second we take that extra leap and assume that it's because there's something wrong with us instead of simply because there were experiences, we had, and if we want to change them, we might have to learn a new skill or move locations or shift friendships or jobs or things like that. That has nothing to do with our original nature. [14:33.2]
But because you and I have twine, entwined them together in such a way that they feel inextricable, that the amount of money I have is an indicator of my spiritual position. Oh, nut if I have too much money, then I'm also spiritually problematic. That the amount of, that the kind of relationship I have and how long my marriage lasts and how many kids I have is some indicator of whether or not I'm a good person. That the kinds of activities I get involved in is an indicator of my spiritual soul. That all of these things are indicators of something far deeper that you and I have not even been able to see, glimpse. It's a little bit over the top, don't you think? To step into the world and say, No No, I know the truth of all that we are. And therefore, I know that I am messed up and therefore have to change things. Or I know the truth of all that is. And therefore, I can tell you that your messed up and my religion is right and your wrong and all of these other things. And my political ideas are right and my, my thoughts on money are right and you're wrong. And you can't do it this way. That's the dumbest way to raise children and all of these other things, that we step in. It's okay to have an opinion. I mean, it happens at least as far as I know, it's okay to have an opinion. [15:41.0]
But the minute that you and I believe that our opinion is truth, that our thoughts about ourselves, are truth, that our thoughts about other people are the truth is the minute we get diluted and we wander through life trying to fix everything. We try to fix our kids. We try to fix ourselves. We try to fix things that aren't going the way we want them to go. And we assume that they're supposed to go a certain way, that there's some cloud of the way things are supposed to be. And that if we don't live up to that, if things aren't that way, then, then we're going to feel bad and bad things are going to happen. But if you really look with your own eyes, have you ever seen evidence that that's the case? You may believe that's the case. That's fine. You're allowed to believe it, but don't sit there and assume that your beliefs are knowledge. They're beliefs, they may, they may be beautiful things in your life. Believing those things may give you a sense of hope and purpose and meaning and that is beautiful. You have learned a way of using your mind and body that has produced a powerful, powerful experience of life for you. Don't get rid of it. [16:39.0]
Likewise, for people who have discovered that believing certain things is not helpful for them. And so, they've shifted and it found a way to find a powerful experience for life. Same too, the beliefs are fine. Admit that they're just beliefs, that they're not knowledge. That you and I don't really know who we really are or what we really are at the bottom of it. That it would be impossible for us to know, because we would have to just like step outside of ourselves in order to be able to see ourselves clearly. That there's no way that we really know it, that all of our circumstances and physical attributes and hobbies and, and skills, and all of those things are simply dressing there, like the wrapping paper of the gift and we haven't even unwrapped the gift yet. [17:18.0]
And with that recognition, with that simple recognition, even if you believe that our souls or whatever's on the inside is this beautiful thing. That's still a fantasy that you're making in your mind based on what you think from the past. That's still nothing that pales in comparison to what life is. This is of course my hunch. This is my thought process, that who I am is something I have not fathom. That who my wife is and my kids are as something that lies beyond my perception. I've seen what they've done. I've seen things that they've done. I've seen things they've said, but I don't know who they are at a basic level and that makes me keep paying attention. So, if we can just admit that our beliefs about those things are just beliefs that we really don't know then maybe just, maybe we can get off this notion that there's something to fix about us. Now, where would it have come from? Obviously, if people are telling us as we grow up that, Oh, no, that's right, that's wrong. Even if they're doing it kindly, it's easy to figure that out. On top of that if kids understand cause and effect, I punch a wall in my hand hurts. Awesome. I pinch my sister, she screams. Sometimes she does, sometimes she doesn't awesome. [18:22.7]
But if I do that and one time my parents are entertaining guests and they're like, honey, be nice. And another time they blow their lid because they've had a rough day at work and I'm the last straw. How am I going to know which of those punishments is related to it? And I'm going to just start to worry about like some, I don't know when, when some bad things might happen, if I'm not the way I'm supposed to be. And in, so doing what has happened is adults have manipulated their kids into believing that they're supposed to be a certain way. When, how are we ever going to know that? It's not like you and I sat down and designed our children. You know, they're going to have this personality. They're going to do this, that and the other. You and I are not the creators of these people nor were our parents, our creators. They happen to have given us the space to have a body, but that body wouldn't have grown had you and I whatever's inside us, not been building it. Your body is being built from the inside out right now. You eat food and your body creates it into more of you. It doesn't matter what food you eat; it'll still make a human that is your shape and size, right? [19:21.5]
At the same mango I could eat and it would make me and a monkey could it, and it would make a monkey. That's a level of intelligence on the inside and inside your mom's embryo. I mean your mom's womb and my mom's womb, we had the raw materials that they gave us the chemistry, the DNA and everything else. And still, whatever that is, that could build a human life, took that and made it into something, took it and made it into something. Right? So, let's say you got a bad set of Legos. Does that make you a bad person? No. Let's say you happen to have been a drug baby for some reason. Does that make you a bad person? No. Let's say you ended up with like trisomy 11, which I think is down syndrome. Does that make you a bad person? No. It just means you got a bump set of Legos or a set of Legos that went a certain direction. That's it, that's all that it means. And you still were able to make what you've made of your life right now, out of that. Does that mean there's something wrong with you? No. Does it mean you might want to try and experience different sets of Legos? Sure. [20:16.1]
But the raw material of your life and your circumstances has nothing to do with your worth as a being, because you don't even see yourself as a being. And if you could really glimpse and perceive whatever it is that day in and day out, minute in, minute out, second in, second out is creating the possibility for your heart to beat your lungs to breathe, is causing cells to divide. And it's producing the opportunity for you to be alive. That if you could really quick glimpse that, source of creation inside of you, maybe we wouldn't sit here saying there's something wrong with it. Maybe we wouldn't sit here believing there's something to fix. It all came because we just guessed about what was going on in life. Like a little kid. Why, why is this happening? We just guessed. And we guessed like little kids guess, without logic, without clear perception, we just did our best. And because no one was around to challenge our guess, so many of us grew up believing that there's something to fix about us, or if it's not us, then we grew up believing that there's still a way that everything's supposed to be. And we gripe and complain about how other things are. [21:21.9]
But what if, what if there's really nothing to fix? What if this life is the gift? What if this life is an opportunity to have some experiences? What if there's nothing wrong with you in the first place? What if there never was? What if the only thing we've ever been dealing with are our experiences, our Lego sets, the raw material that we're building things out of. And what if we could stop beating ourselves up about it and just learn to shift the circumstances? That's the work that I do for myself. That's the work that we work on with our clients and stuff. Giving them the capacity to set down the negativity in their life, to set down this feeling like there's something to fix inside them. So that they can finally step into life and recognize, wow, maybe there's nothing wrong. Cool. What's actually happening in this moment and what do I want to do from here? And the key, the key to getting out of it is to change your perception. We're going to talk about that on another, in the next episode. But to change your perception, not to change your thoughts and feelings, your thoughts and feelings are built on perception, but to change the actual the way that you see the world. Once that changes all the thoughts and feelings that were built on the old way you saw, they vanish. And then life becomes an entirely different possibility.

Antimicrobial Potential of Honey Samples of Apis cerana indica
Abstract
Honey is an ancient remedy for the treatment of infected wounds, which has recently been rediscovered by the medical profession, particularly where conventional modern therapeutic agents are failing . Honey samples were collected from two different geographical regions , i.e Hill (kodaikkanal) and plain (Mannargudi) . The antimicrobial activity of honey was performed by well diffusion assay against pathogens i.e, bacteria [Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa Enterobacter aerogenes, klebsiella], Fungi [Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Trichoderma viride], yeast [Saccharomyces cerevisiae, candida], Actinomycetes [Streptomyces] and antibiotic sensitivity test was also performed for these pathogens using some antibiotics [Gentamycin, Auxamine, Tetracycline, Ampicillin].

SERVICES FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH
TRAUMA-INFORMED PLAY OR GAME/ART/MUSIC THERAPY
A variety of play therapy materials, therapeutic books, and therapeutic games are available for treatment of behavioral health and/or developmental concerns, particularly those associated with trauma as a cause or as an effect (e.g., bullying, medical trauma, accidents, etc.). Parents can be present during these therapy sessions and are encouraged to reinforce what is learned in therapy with the child afterwards, when the child is in the family environment.
LEADERSHIP AND ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOL-AGED CHILDREN
To avoid stigma and the use of mental health or behavioral health labels, our school-aged children participate in an individualized leadership and enrichment program that includes activities with family members and with one another using technology and community-based resources such as therapeutic horseback riding, music theater, theme-centered karaoke performances, field trips, 4-H club projects, and community service activities.
SOCIAL SKILLS TRAINING
A variety of social skills are taught to children and youth of all ages in whatever setting works best for them. Children on the Autism Spectrum, along with children with developmental delays, anxiety, anger management issues, and/or a behavioral health diagnosis can benefit from social skills development. Many children learn social skills from their parents, extended family members, and other role models, but a number of things can interfere with this leaving a child vulnerable to bullying, exclusion, and other types of maltreatment.
CHILDREN'S CREATIVE ARTS CENTER
"Life is the art of drawing without an eraser" -John Gardner
"Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life" -Pablo Picasso
The Children's Creative Arts Center is both a place on-site and a virtual (on-line) space where all children, not just those with behavioral health issues, can combine one or more of the creative arts with imagination and creativity to do what children do best...use play, creative writing, art, music, drama, carpentry, building materials, and a variety of other crafts to express themselves, to share their talents and developing areas of expertise, to take refuge from stress and affect dysregulation, and to communicate their hopes and dreams and wishes and wants and idealism. Sometimes, we adults can learn a great deal from what they have to say this way.
Call (724) 733-2928 to arrange for individual, family, or group time in the Children's Creative Arts Center.
This space can also be used for:
Supervised visitation or parent-child reunification activities;
Organized recreational group activities such as 4H Club meetings, scout meetings, DFC Kids-for-Peace music practices, small recreational group classes;
Small group lessons in a performing art.
Gender Disparities and Autism
Most individuals who have been diagnosed with autism are male. In fact, it is diagnosed at a rate of 3 to 4 times more often in males (Loomes et al, 2017). However, what appears to be a definitive ratio is much more complex than at first glance. Much of the research regarding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) has centered on males (Giambattista et al, 2021). As such, all of the tools we use to diagnose and support autistic kids and adults are based on a male standard. Additionally, assessment of females is "restricted to areas where they are most similar to males." (Giambattista et al, 2021). In the process, females with ASD often remain undiagnosed, unidentified, and unsupported, particularly those with symptoms that are not immediately obvious.
There are many reasons that females are underdiagnosed, one of which is gendered socialization. In order to understand this phenomenon, it is important to note that the criteria for an autism diagnosis include social skill and communication impairment. Girls are socialized to be less aggressive and more mindful of the emotions of their peers, and therefore, autistic girls tend to have more vibrant social lives than autistic boys overall. Even when autistic girls are more introspective or quiet, they are thought to simply be exhibiting characteristics of femininity rather than of ASD. They might also be experiencing problems with socializing or communicating, but perhaps not in ways that are apparent. There are subtle but important differences in the manifestations of autism between females and males that are not always caught by standard screening tools (Giambattista et al, 2021). What does this mean for you as a parent?
If you have a female child who tends to be quieter, be mindful of how she discusses her social interactions. Keep in mind that the traditional screening tools for autism are designed for male children. Although your child may not be exhibiting characteristics of what you traditionally perceive as autism, it may be helpful to seek a professional opinion, particularly if she reports having some difficulties at school socially. Try to keep your own biases in check.

VTOL Crashes
Vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) vehicles are a widely accepted part
of aviation. From helicopters to F35B fighter jets, vertical take-off
and landing has shown many benefits. In fact, many electric aircraft designers
are focusing on creating electric or eVTOL aircraft in order to create
commuter flight services that may one day have less environmental impact
and cost than conventional airplanes.
A VTOL aircraft reduces the need for a runway and, in many cases, for other
transportation to move you from those runways to where you actually need
to go. VTOL offers direct point-to-point transportation. The direct nature
of VTOL flight is why helicopters are commonly used in military and emergency
medical situations.
From an environmental perspective, VTOL reduces the fuel used during the
runway and taxiing portions of the flight, along with time spent circling
busy airports waiting for runway space. But from a safety perspective,
increased VTOL aircraft usage presents a host of new safety concerns.
Increased VTOL Use Could Lead to Serious Safety Concerns
Although VTOL aircraft provide some safety benefits over traditional airplanes—including
not needing a runway to taxi, take-off, or land—there are still
real challenges behind the move to increase VTOL transportation. As with
the move to self-driving vehicles, the move to eVTOL will have its benefits,
but could also have very real drawbacks.
Consider what might happen when VTOL air-taxi services begin landing at
the tops of buildings downtown. That could create massive air traffic,
with only a limited number of controllers to tell operators when it is
safe for them to take off or land. This increases the risk of a catastrophic
accident involving a VTOL aircraft. Accidents in urban areas increase
the risk of fatalities on the ground, as well.
And, while the aircraft might be smaller than typical planes, they could
still cause a lot of damage if they were to crash into a building.
These are all issues for regulators to explore before VTOL aircraft becomes
widely used as an alternative commercial transportation system. Although
the damage caused by a VTOL accident might be small compared with that
of a passenger jet, it's possible that accident patterns could become
similar to those of passenger cars. A lot of small accidents involving
one or two VTOL aircraft can quickly add up to a large number of severe
injuries or fatalities | eng | 5f28ab35-f14f-4268-873f-978b8c22969b | https://www.wisnerbaum.com/aviation-accident/vtol-crashes/ |

Workplace Pollution
What Is Workplace Pollution?
The definition of workplace pollution is the presence of hazardous materials or noises within a workplace that may affect people while performing their job. Such workplace pollutants may affect workers' health, especially if exposure continues over longer periods of time even at low levels. The most common exposure is that to workplace air pollution. This involves workplace hazards from airborne pollution, or, in other words, the presence in the workplace indoor air of hazardous substances either as gases (fumes) or as particulate matter (tiny particles - dust) dispersed in the air. Other types of exposure may occur involving skin contact, ingestion, and/or injection. The exposure to hazardous materials can occur in several ways, including through:
breathing polluted air – if the air indoors at the workplace gets contaminated
direct contact with toxic and/or corrosive materials
accidental ingestion of toxic chemicals or of polluted water/liquids
Additionally, workplace noise is another example of workplace pollution that could affect workers' hearing and psychological well-being. Another danger might come from the possibility that Chinese drywall was used in the building where you work.
Are You at Risk?
These days we hear about pollution so often that it seems as if it could be anywhere! The word has almost lost its meaning, while it seems to be intrinsically connected to the modern society and has become so much a part of our way of living that it is hard to imagine we can really have any escape from it. And yet, this is far from the truth, as there are many things we can do both as individuals and as a society in order to prevent and change our pollution exposure at the workplace or elsewhere. The first step is to become aware that some people are more exposed or more at risk than others. If we identify that we are at a higher risk, then there are many things we can do to change this. In this section, we provide information related to workplace pollution and simple things you can do to test and change the exposure and risks, with the final goal of pollution prevention. Below is a checklist with professions/jobs at higher risk of workplace pollution:
Some office jobs – depending on the location and/or building materials used for the office building
Research jobs (researchers) – may be exposed to various hazardous materials if accidents occur in the research lab
Additionally, any jobs involving the storage and disposal of waste may also create a pollution exposure risk.
Environmentalists that Work with Pollution
In addition to the jobs listed above, the environmentalists or environmental professionals may also be exposed to hazardous materials while performing their job. However, the environmental professionals, unlike other workers, are aware of the risks and thus take precautionary measures. However, this category of professionals usually performs field work in polluted environments and could still be exposed to hazardous materials in the following situations:
when accidents occur;
when new pollutants or a mixture of pollutants become of health risk in certain environmental conditions; in such a situation, the precautionary measures may not be effective or enough to prevent dangerous exposure situations
These events are however disparate and, although they can cause acute exposure episodes, overall they may pose a lower threat than the exposure to lower levels of hazardous materials through workplace pollution in the situation of the jobs listed above.
Thus, one may ask: what kind of regulation corrects air pollution or job discrimination? There are many regulations in place, starting with safety procedures and preventive regulations under OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration) and various EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) regulations. In general, employees are required to comply with such regulations, while employers ensure safe workplace environments. Pollution prevention at the workplace involves the same measures as anywhere else. These include: wearing protective equipment if contact with hazardous materials may not be avoided otherwise, good air ventilation indoors and deployment of safety procedures (e.g. such as identify and avoid direct contact with toxic materials, do not drink or eat in the presence of hazardous materials, wear protective equipment whenever required). In fact, any environmental investigation must take into consideration the appropriate Health and Safety Plans. | eng | c265e1d2-f06e-4e48-9e17-2e4ddbb85c16 | https://www.environmentalpollutioncenters.org/workplace/ |
GDPR Reforms and Scope
Data Protection Legislation and Reform
Data protection law restricts the collection, storage and use of personal data. Personal data is that which concerns a living person. The objective is to protect privacy and to restrict the use of information to legitimate purposes. Personal data must be collected for specified explicit and legitimate purposes and must not be processed in a way, incompatible with those purposes. The legislation applies both to electronic information and to structured physical files or manual data, where it is structured by reference to individuals or criteria relating to individuals.
Data Protection legislation derives from European Union Directives. The Irish and UK Data Protection Acts are broadly similar because of this common origin.
The GDPR which became effective on 25 May 2018 has replaced most of this legislation with similar but enhanced EU wide rules. It is accompanied by the Data Protection Act 2018 in Ireland and the Data Protection Act 2018 in the UK, which covers some areas which EU member states competences are and gives effect to options which the GDPR grants to Members States.
The GDPR Reforms
The EU wide General Data Protection Regulation (the GDPR) came into effect on 25 May 2018 (Regulation (EU) 2016/679). As a regulation, it is directly effectively law in all European Union States. It is now the principal source of Data Protection Law in the UK and Ireland.
Common EU wide law has now replaced most national legislation, which was based on older EU Directives. There are narrow exclusions on EU competences in relation to criminal and security legislation, this continues to be governed by domestic law.
This area is the subject of a separate EU Directive dealing with processing of personal data by national authorities for the purposes of the prevention, investigation, detection and prosecution of criminal offences and the execution of criminal penalties. The Directive (EU) 2016/680) is given effect in Ireland by the Data Protection Act 2018 in Ireland.
Both the GDPR and law enforcement Directive (implemented by the Data Protection Act 2018) are based on in Article 16 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and they provide for significant reforms to current data protection rules based on the EU's 1995 Data Protection Directive.
Both instruments generally provide for higher standards of data protection for individuals ("data subjects") and impose increased obligations on bodies in the public and private sectors that process personal data ("controllers" and "processors").They also increase the range of possible sanctions for infringements of these standards and obligations.
EU Objective of Single Regulation
Many key data protection concepts and principles remain broadly similar under the GDPR, to those already set out in the Data Protection Acts 1988 and 2003 (which have given effect in national law to the 1981 Council of Europe Data Protection Convention (Convention 108) and the EU's 1995 Data Protection Directive respectively).
The GDPR seeks to provide for a more uniform interpretation and application of data protection standards across the EU, thereby providing a level playing field for those doing business in the EU digital market. The European Data Protection Board comprising representatives of the data protection authorities of all Member States, will play an important role in this respect
The GDPR lays down rules relating to the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and rules relating to the free movement of personal data.
The GDPR protects fundamental rights and freedoms of natural persons and in particular their right to the protection of personal data.
The free movement of personal data within the EU shall be neither restricted nor prohibited for reasons connected with the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data.
Scope
The GDPR applies to the processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means and to the processing other than by automated means of personal data which form part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system.
The GDPR does not apply to the processing of personal data:
in the course of an activity which falls outside the scope of Union law;
by the Member States when carrying out activities which fall within the scope of Chapter 2 of Title V of the TEU;
by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity;
by competent authorities for the purposes of the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties, including the safeguarding against and the prevention of threats to public security.
For the processing of personal data by the EU institutions, bodies, offices and agencies, Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 applies. 2Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 and other Union legal acts applicable to such processing of personal data shall be adapted to the principles and rules of the Regulation in accordance with Article 98.
GDPR Territorial Scope
Data protection law and the GDPR applies to the processing of personal data where that data controller or processor is established in the State and data is processed in the context of the activities of that establishment. This is the case regardless of whether the processing takes place in the European Union or not.
The GDPR applies to the processing of personal data of data subjects who are in the EuropeanThe GDPR also applies to the processing of personal data by a controller not established in the Union, but in a place where Member State law applies by virtue of public international law.
Risk Based Approach
The EU Regulation and Directive (implemented by the Data Protection Act 2018) introduce new elements and some enhancements. Both require a "risk-based" approach to data protection. This requires that each individual data controller and processor is required to put appropriate technical and organisational measures in place in order to ensure – and to be able to demonstrate – that their processing of personal data complies with the new data protection standards.
For the purposes of assessing the nature, level and likelihood of risks for the rights and freedoms of data subjects, they must take account of the nature, scope, context and purposes of the data processing. In certain cases, this requires the carrying out of data protection impact assessments, and where mitigation of risk is not possible, prior consultation with the Data Protection Commission will be mandatory
Language and Scope of the Legislation
The original data protection legislation predates the internet and modern data processing. To some extent, it does not sit well with the vast and growing amount of personal information that is available on the internet, instantly. Even, in the reformed GDPR setting, the essential scope and terminology of the earlier legislation remains intact.
The legislation applies to all data held electronically or to all other data (e.g. on paper etc.) which is held as part of a filing system. Some of the key definitions and concepts in Data Protection legislation are very broad and their full scope and meaning is not intuitively obvious. Some are in such general terms that its extent and boundaries may not always be apparent.
Much of the key language used in the legislation is not commonly used in everyday life. The legislation applies primarily to personal "data" and its use by data controllers and data processors. "Data" is a very broad concept and refers to information in any form or media whatsoever. Data "controllers" and "processers" are broadly those who acquired store or use information.
Personal data is information that can by itself or with other data, directly or indirectly, identify an individual. This key concept is very broad in scope and includes much data which would not be readily thought to be personal information in an everyday sense. It includes images and sound files. The data subject is the person to whom the information refers.
This General Data Protection Regulation applies to the processing of personal data wholly or partly by automated means and to the processing other than by automated means of personal data which form part of a filing system or are intended to form part of a filing system. Files or sets of files, as well as their cover pages, which are not structured according to specific criteria, do not fall within the scope of this Regulation.
The GDPR does not apply to the processing of personal data:
by a natural person in the course of a purely personal or household activity;
in the course of an activity which falls outside the scope of Union law;
by the Member States when carrying out asylum and immigration functions
by competent authorities for the purposes of the prevention, investigation, detection or prosecution of criminal offences or the execution of criminal penalties, including the safeguarding against and the prevention of threats to public security.
The second, third and fourth category of data is covered by the domestic Data Protection legislation enacted pursuant to a contemporaneous directive.

Computer Hardware and Software Components
Hardware Components
Central Processing Unit (CPU)- The CPU is a component responsible for enabling a computer to function as it serves as the computer's brain. The CPU is composed of sub-components such as the arithmetic logic unit (ALU), instruction pointers, cache, memory management unit, control unit and random-access unit.
Memory/storage– this component involves space where data is processed and instructions for the commands are stored. The memory is divided into parts known as cells which have unique addresses varying from zero to minus one memory size (Amid et al., 2019). Memory is divided into three types such as cache, primary or main, and secondary memory.
Cache memory- this is a high-speed semiconductor that speeds up the CPU and acts as the buffer between the computer's main memory and the CPU (Chen, 2016). The cache holds parts of data and programs that are utilized by the CPU.
Random access memory (RAM)- The RAM acts as the main storage and serves as a crucial part that stores programs and data, making them ready for use any moment the CPU requires the data and programs.
Read-only memory (ROM)- this is electronic storage that is non-volatile thus, meaning it can store data and information permanently in the computer.
Flash- flash memory is a non-volatile chip used for storage on a long-life basis and is useful in embedding systems. It keeps stored data even when the computer is switched off.
Direct memory access (DMA) is a feature in a computer storage component that allows some hardware subsystems to have access to RAM independently of the CPU.
Hard disk is a data storage device fixed in the computer motherboard with spinning disks used for storing data magnetically and can read or write data using in-built transducers.
Keyboard- this is a peripheral component that contains alphanumeric keys, function keys, cursor movement keys, space bar, and special keys and it is used for typing characters on the computer screen or monitor.
Monitor- This output device displays information from the storage systems and records characters being typed on the keyboard. It is also known as a video display unit (VDU). Other components include the mouse, adapter, motherboard, sound card and charger.
Computer Software Components
Operating system (OS)- this is a collection of programs that are used to control the running commands and organize computer system resources such as the keyboard, monitors, printers, and disk drives (Chen, 2016). OS comes with commands and utilities that are used to maintain files, messages, and other elements.
Application programs– these are software layers on top that perform specific tasks, for example, using Microsoft word processor for writing, spreadsheet for accounting and 3D access to drawing.
Device drivers– These are specialized programs that support the application programs and the OS to perform commands in the computer (Kanner et al., 2021). The drivers do not interact with the user but rather with the hardware elements during computer usage.
Root user processors– They are specialized programs that can be run by a computer user but under root authority, such as system administrator for the computer processes (Kanner et al., 2021). Root processes may include reading and writing objects, calling system functions, and performing control operations, among others.
Utilities and system services– these are programs that add the capabilities of the OS. Examples may include antivirus, file management systems, and disk cleanup tools, among others.
Communication Components
Layer 1– this is a physical networking layer that provides electrical and mechanical support in enabling or disabling transmission bits on physical connections. It involves electrical signals such as laser and optical fiber, electromagnetic waves such as wireless connections and sound (Kanner et al., 2021). Services performed by layer 1 include line coding, circuit switching, and modulation, among others. Examples include Ethernet physical layers, universal serial bus (USB) and Bluetooth physical layers.
Layer 2– this is a network that uses hardware addresses to process and forwards information at the data link layer technology (Kanner et al., 2021). For example, layer 2 allows a switch to operate as a bridge to networks such as Wi-Fi, ethernet and cable data transmission and access.
System devices- these are a set of integrated devices that are used for the input and output of data. They allow a computer user to manipulate and store data. For example, a router receives and sends data hence enabling the connection between devices in electromagnetic technology.
Layer 3 is responsible for functional and procedural modes of data transfer in varying lengths and sequences from a source's host to a given destination. The most notable layer in this case is the internet protocol (IP) that routes packets across interconnected networks.
Layer 4 is the transport layer responsible for creating a virtual transfer control protocol (TSP) or user datagram protocol (UDP) interconnection between the hosts. Through TSP and UDP, layer 4 sends and receives data to and from the computer application programs running in a specific host.
Application layer– this is an abstraction layer that distinguishes the shared communication protocols and interface modulation used by the host network. It is specified in TCP and IP in the OS model. Examples include hypertext transfer protocol secure (https), extensible markup language (XML) and real-time transport protocol (RTP).
Data Components
File system– this is a method and data structure that OS controls on storage and retrieval.
Data at rest- it means data that is not moving from one device to another or network to another.
Data transition– it is the process of analyzing how current data is stored in a legacy practice management system and preparing the data for import into the required host.
Types of media– it can be computer hard drives, removable drives, flash memory that are used to bring pictures into the display, or voice and video into a definition in output (Kanner et al., 2021). For example, fax involves the transmission of scanned printed materials connected to an output device.
Encryption and compression– encryption is the shuffling of data that makes it hard to find the data without a key. Compression uses patterns to reduce the size at high levels.
Data encoding converts data or a given character sequence, alphabets, or symbols into a specific format that is secure to transmit data (Kanner et al., 2021). It includes converting analog data to digital files that can be encrypted and compressed efficiently.

Apple's M1 chip has a storage controller and flash technology that delivers double-speed solid state (SSD) performance when compared to intel design. According to the disks speed tested, the results showed that SSD in M1 MacBook Air is twice faster as the other generations recording a whooping 2190 megabytes per second and 2675 megabytes in terms of reading speed (Vorobets, et al., 2018). The intel results indicated the speed was about 1085 megabytes per second hence M1 having an advantage over the intel. In terms of data transfer, M1 chip beats Intel on that metric. The Apple mac takes only 27 seconds to transfer 40 gigabytes, while Intel takes 90 seconds for the same volume of transfer (Vorobets, et al., 2018). In terms of starting and shutting the computer, M1 mac is faster and gives a nice experience when tabbing multiple pages or opening simultaneous applications. Lastly, M1 chip has a neural network processing (NNP) technology that uses artificial intelligence to observe human traits and work on them. | eng | 0572fce2-0e62-456c-9784-fb440c2a0c1b | https://edufixers.com/computer-hardware-and-software-components/ |
Programming: Why We Need To Program/Update Modules
While most updating is done using online access, you don't have actual access to the files that contain the programming.
Writing the code or software for a transmission or engine control module is immense and complex. It is impossible for one person to write it or even comprehended completely by a single person. And even though the code is checked by several programmers and computer programs, it might still have errors in there that will cause issues during certain operating conditions.
Related Articles
These problems are known as "bugs" and can cause several complaints including erratic shift behavior without a clear cause. These bugs are fixed throughout the lifetime of a module and are covered with the updates we use to reprogram the module.
Next to bug fixes, these updates cover much more. Known driveability or comfort issues are also addressed. But the new program can also contain improvements that will help to reduce wear or even fuel consumption, and can even add functions. The mapping in the program is pretty much untouched (unless it's the cause of a problem), so that the drive experience is pretty much unchanged.
Updating the programming can help you solve problems you didn't even know you had and can protect you from chasing problems. There are however, some downsides or pitfalls to reprogramming.
While most updating is done using online access, you don't have actual access to the files that contain the programming. And unlike with Tuning, the programming isn't first read completely before it's altered. This means that you can only update the software to a newer version, but can't downgrade back to the old version(some exceptions are possible). So if the customer notices changes in the way his transmission drives now, you can't revert back to the old software. Luckily, this happens in very rare occasions.
The other thing you have to keep in mind, is the fact that you could cause damage to the module when the programming fails.
Also keep in mind that programming isn't something that you do "in between." These processes can last between three minutes and 24 hours. As we know, the number of modules in a modern car can go as high as 100 modules that work in harmony, each containing a piece of software and communicating with each other. If a car has only seven modules and for each module there are two software versions available, you can come up with 27 different combinations. That equals to 128 unique combinations with only two software versions for seven modules. If you would have the ability to test a car completely in two hours, and you would have 128 unique combinations, that means you would be busy for 256 hours. If you would add another piece of software and one extra module, the number of unique combinations will go over 6000.
Testing all these combinations to see if everything works is nearly impossible and immensely time consuming, especially as you can't even test it completely within two hours. Whenever you are starting with programming for the first time, take your time with it. It's better to spend a few hours reading the manual on how to install the software and take your time, instead of rushing it. These things take time, and rushing it might get you in trouble. It's a delicate process that can kill your module if you do something wrong or forget something | eng | 0efacd7d-433a-4dca-b16a-56b198c60567 | https://www.brakeandfrontend.com/programming-why-we-need-to-program-update-modules/ |

Unraveling the Power of Forex Indicators for Effective Trading
Deciphering Forex Indicators: A Strategic Asset for Traders
Forex indicators serve as critical resources for traders, aiding in the dissection of market information to shape better trading decisions. These tools rest on the premise that historical price trends can provide valuable insights for predicting upcoming market behavior. A plethora of Forex indicators exist, each boasting its unique merits and demerits. Among the most widely used ones are moving averages, momentum indicators, and volatility indicators.
Forex indicators wield power over trading in myriad ways. They provide traders with a means to recognize trends, pinpoint overbought and oversold states, and ascertain volatility. By leveraging these indicators, traders can enhance their decision-making process, thereby improving their odds of success in the market.
The Art of Handling Forex Indicators
When maneuvering Forex indicators, certain key considerations come into play. Firstly, selecting the appropriate indicators that align with your trading style is crucial. A universal solution does not exist, and various indicators may prove more advantageous for different traders. Secondly, indicators should be employed along with other significant factors such as fundamental analysis and risk management. Relying solely on indicators can lead to deceptive signals. Lastly, backtesting trading strategies with historical data is vital. This practice allows you to discern which indicators align most favorably with your trading style and risk tolerance.
A Glimpse into Various Forex Indicators
Forex indicators are a varied lot, each serving a unique function. Here are some of the most commonly used types:
Moving averages: These simple yet effective tools are used to discern trends. They're computed by averaging the closing prices of a security over a specific duration.
Momentum indicators: These indicators gauge the velocity and course of price shifts. They're useful for detecting overbought and oversold states and potential trend reversals.
Volatility indicators: These measure the degree of price variation in a security. They're employed to spot periods of high and low volatility and to establish stop-losses and profit targets.
Implementing Forex Indicators
Forex indicators are versatile tools that can be put to use in diverse ways. While some traders use them for trend identification, others may use them to detect overbought and oversold states. They can also be used to assess volatility and establish stop-losses and profit targets.
Experimentation is key when it comes to using Forex indicators. There's no singular approach that suits all; different traders will find different indicators more effective.
Here are a few additional tips for employing Forex indicators effectively:
Begin with a couple of straightforward indicators and master their usage before expanding your trading toolbox.
Always employ them along with other factors, like fundamental analysis and risk management.
Conclusion: Forex Indicators as Valuable Trading Aids
Forex indicators, when used judiciously, can be indispensable aids for traders. It's vital, however, to recognize their constraints and not use them in a vacuum. Indicators should be used synergistically with other factors such as fundamental analysis and risk management. Proper utilization of indicators can significantly elevate a trader's success potential in the Forex market. | eng | 5cb589f2-2ce3-42d0-a609-51e26f590ec5 | https://investworld.net/unraveling-the-power-of-forex-indicators-for-effective-trading |
Simple Present in Conversation (B2)
Simple Present, as you are well aware by now, is only one of the present tenses - and to make matters more interesting, it is not even used to refer to the presence at all - great! So, when do you use it then? If you catch yourself using simple present rather than present continuous from time to time, you might enjoy and benefit from this module, which provides you with ample practice and some useful clues to look out for, as well the ever present exceptions there | eng | ab6e6821-cfbb-4d8d-bd06-1439f73999b0 | https://vhs-mg.de/programm/kw/bereich/kursdetails/kurs/231G1142T/kursname/Simple%20Present%20in%20Conversation%20B2/ |
Abstract
Nowadays, noise pollution, one of the crucial
environmental problems as a result of increase in the population, has caused
physical and psychological negativities in people's lives. The increase in the
number of vehicles along with the population, the lack of infrastructure in the
existing roads, misbehavior of the drivers due to the lack of education lead to
an increase in noise pollution. The current study aimed to determine how much
noise pollution that people are exposed to in traffic, schools and hospitals in
Kayseri, one of the most important industrialized centers in Turkey with a
population approximately 1.4 million. The levels of noise pollution averagely
varied between 62-72 dBA in the streets and it is observed that the noise level
changes depending on the vehicle intense in traffic. The noise levels in
schools ranged from 41 to 57 dBA in the morning when window was closed that
were higher than the regulation limit. The noise levels in hospitals were
between 46 and 58 dBA when window is closed. The results of the survey
conducted among a total of 153 people showed that noise was considered as environmental
pollution by 98% in residential, 90% in schools and 73% in hospitals. The most
noise-related health effects specified by the participants was the headache
with 41% followed by frustrated and stressed with 24%. | eng | 289f38cb-a9a5-49bb-9773-c46dc9503d5d | https://avesis.erciyes.edu.tr/yayin/b8dd845f-2be1-4f3a-81dd-b4a2485f976c/evaluation-of-environmental-noise-pollution-traffic-schools-hospitals-and-noise-perception |

How to use Google Sheets FILTER formula to populate multiple sheets based on a criteria
To use the Google Sheets FILTER formula to populate multiple sheets based on criteria, follow these steps:
Create a source sheet that contains the data you want to filter and distribute to other sheets. The source sheet should have a consistent structure, with a header row and one or more data rows.
Create the destination sheets you want to populate with the filtered data. The destination sheets should have the same structure as the source sheet, with a header row and the same number of columns.
In the first cell of the first column of the destination sheets, enter the FILTER formula. The formula should reference the range of data in the source sheet and specify the criteria to filter by.
Copy the formula to the rest of the cells in the first column of the destination sheets. The formula will automatically adjust to reference the correct rows in the source sheet and return the filtered data for each destination sheet.
Repeat steps 3-4 for each column in the destination sheets if necessary.
Save and close the Google Sheets file. The destination sheets will automatically update with the filtered data from the source sheet based on the criteria specified in the FILTER formula.
Note: The key to using the FILTER formula to populate multiple sheets is to reference the correct range of data in the source sheet and specify the correct criteria to filter by. The formula will update automatically if you add new rows to the source sheet that meet the filtering criteria.
Example
Here's a simple example that demonstrates how to use the FILTER formula to populate multiple sheets based on criteria:
Suppose you have a source sheet named "Sales Data" with the following data:
Product
Region
Sales
A
East
$100
B
West
$200
C
East
$150
D
West
$50
E
East
$75
And you want to create two destination sheets named "East Sales" and "West Sales" to show the sales data for each region.
To do this, follow these steps:
Create the "East Sales" and "West Sales" sheets with the same structure as the "Sales Data" sheet, including a header row and the same number of columns.
In the first cell of the first column of the "East Sales" sheet, enter the following FILTER formula:
=FILTER('Sales Data'!A:C,'Sales Data'!B:B="East")
This formula will filter the data in columns A-C of the "Sales Data" sheet to show only the rows where the value in column B (Region) is "East".
Based on the example, the "East Sales" sheet will show the sales data for products in the East region. The content of the "East Sales" sheet should look like this:
Product
Region
Sales
A
East
$100
C
East
$150
E
East
$75
This is because the FILTER formula used in the "East Sales" sheet filters the data in columns A-C of the "Sales Data" sheet to show only the rows where the value in column B (Region) is "East". Therefore, only the rows for products with sales data in the East region are shown in the "East Sales" sheet.
Based on the example, the "West Sales" sheet will show the sales data for products in the West region. In the first cell of the first column of the "East Sales" sheet, enter the following FILTER formula:
=FILTER('Sales Data'!A:C,'Sales Data'!B:B="West")
The content of the "West Sales" sheet should look like this:
Product
Region
Sales
B
West
$200
D
West
$50
This is because the FILTER formula used in the "West Sales" sheet filters the data in columns A-C of the "Sales Data" sheet to show only the rows where the value in column B (Region) is "West". Therefore, only the rows for products with sales data in the West region are shown in the "West Sales" sheet.
Now, when you add new rows to the "Sales Data" sheet and the region is "East" or "West", the "East Sales" and "West Sales" sheets will automatically update with the filtered data based on the criteria specified in the FILTER formula. | eng | ca4f2e44-9387-4d45-9f81-40c3bb277888 | https://support.cloudhq.net/how-to-use-google-sheets-filter-formula-to-populate-multiple-sheets-based-on-a-criteria/ |

$20 million grant supports clean-burning fuel studiesChung Law
Frank Wojciechowski
Emily Carter
Frank Wojciechowski
When the U.S. Department of Energy announced a five-year, $777 million commitment to research in clean and renewable energy last April, Energy Secretary Steven Chu said the program would "mobilize the enormous talents and skills of our nation's scientific workforce."
At Princeton, that process kicked off in October when researchers from seven universities and two national laboratories met to plan the agenda of the Princeton-based Combustion Energy Frontier Research Center, one of 46 centers funded by the Department of Energy program — and the only one devoted to the combustion of alternative fuels. The center will receive $20 million over the next five years.
Understanding combustion is "an important aspect of the energy equation," according to mechanical and aerospace engineering professor Chung Law, director of the center, because it could help researchers design and develop efficient, clean-burning fuels and engines.
Chu has told Congress that decreasing America's dependence on oil and cutting carbon emissions will require "transformational" and "game-changing" advances — the kind of discoveries that win Nobel Prizes. In combustion, that means starting with fundamental science, Law said.
"If you really want to make big improvements, you have to understand the combustion process from the very basics — the chemistry of reactions, the physics of fluid mechanics, and now, of course, the behavior of the biofuels," he said.
Those fundamentals are complicated because the rate of reaction and heat release from burning a fuel molecule varies with temperature and pressure, according to Emily Carter, a mechanical and aerospace engineering professor and computational science expert who shares the center's leadership duties. Understanding reactions is important for several aspects of the center's research, which will examine combustion "from electrons and molecules all the way up to engine design," Carter said.
The Combustion Energy Frontier Research Center will focus its initial studies on butanol, an alcohol that can be produced from biomass. Law said that the center will use butanol to develop a set of analytic and experimental methods that can be applied to examine the characteristics of a wider range of alternative liquid fuels. | eng | 323ade66-452e-47a4-9826-7b0ddb9faa40 | https://paw.princeton.edu/article/20-million-grant-supports-clean-burning-fuel-studies |
Bankruptcy – How Does It Work?
The quick answer
A creditor (someone you owe money to) who is owed over £5,000 can make you bankrupt by applying to Court. You will get notice of the hearing and the right to dispute the debt or attend the hearing.
You can make yourself bankrupt by applying to Court.
In more detail
What Happens Once I Am Made Bankrupt?
Once you are declared bankrupt your assets vest with your Trustee in Bankruptcy who then controls them prior to a sale.
One of the first things to happen when you are declared bankrupt is that you will receive a letter from the Insolvency Service asking you to come in for a meeting. The purpose of the meeting is to find out what happened as well as what assets you own and what you owe.
You will also be asked about your income and your monthly outgoings. This will include your spouse. This is to establish if you can afford to make an Income Payments Agreement (this is a monthly instalment for up to three years) into the bankruptcy estate. This is used to pay back creditors and cover costs.
The Insolvency Service is a government registered agency and they are impartial. The Official Receiver is the title of a person who works in the Insolvency Service. That person will be your initial Trustee in Bankruptcy who is deemed to be responsible for your financial affairs.
If your case is more complicated or a creditor (or number of them) requests it, an independent Licensed Insolvency Practitioner may be appointed as your Trustee.
In all cases you should co-operate with your Trustee in Bankruptcy. There are serious consequences for not doing so.
What Is The Purpose Of Bankruptcy?
The purpose of bankruptcy is for the Trustee to sell your assets to pay back all or part of your debts (known as creditors).
WHAT IF I WAS WRONGLY MADE BANKRUPT?
Even if you have assets that exceed what you might owe you can still be made bankrupt. In fact, you can be quite well off and still be made bankrupt for not paying a debt. If you have ignored a liability for more than £5,000, despite being chased and the creditor applies to Court then the Court has the power to make you bankrupt.
You can not just pay off the bankruptcy debt to get the bankruptcy annulled. You need third party monies to pay off all of your unsecured debts. Then, you'll need to apply to the Court to have the bankruptcy annulled. Alternatively, you could propose an Individual Voluntary Arrangement to creditors in the first 12 months.
HOW LONG DOES BANKRUPTCY LAST?
Bankruptcy normally lasts for 12 months. If your bankruptcy is not complicated, you may not hear from the Insolvency Service again until they send a letter advising that you have been discharged from bankruptcy.
WHAT RESTRICTIONS ARE PLACED ON ME WHEN I AM BANKRUPT?
Whilst bankrupt, you will be restricted from being a director and certain occupations such as a solicitor or policeman. It will also have an adverse effect on your credit rating that can last up to 7 years.
If you own a home with equity (or a part share in a home perhaps with your spouse), usually the home will be sold to pay your debts. There are special rules about working out your level of equity. For example, if you have re-mortgaged to pay money into your business this may count as you using up your equity under the rules for "equity of exoneration".
If you fail to co-operate with your Trustee in Bankruptcy or hand over your assets they can apply for a Bankruptcy Restriction Order – this will delay your release from Bankruptcy.
WILL I LOSE MY HOUSE AND CAR?
You will not necessarily lose your car and house.
If your house has little or no equity the Trustee will not force it's sale and you can keep it and keep paying the mortgage. If you have a car and need it for work and its value is not too high (usually less than £3,000) then you will be allowed to keep that as well.
Should I TRy And Avoid Bankruptcy?
It depends on your circumstances. Sometimes it is a really good way of clearing all your debts. Once you are annulled from Bankruptcy you are free of the old debts. For example, credit card balances, personal loans, council tax, income tax and VAT are all written off and they can not pursue you.
You should try and avoid bankruptcy if you have a lot of assets as the costs of going bankrupt are quite high. You will lose control of them and there maybe a better solution for you and your creditors.
Some Final Advice
If you have any questions about bankruptcy, a good starting point is the Insolvency Service. If you have been made bankrupt after running a business, your affairs may be more complicated. It may be worth getting professional advice from a Licensed Insolvency Practitioner who could help you annul the bankruptcy or deal with your Trustee for | eng | 421cf9a1-2539-4058-b2bb-ede0e6470c17 | https://www.kirks.co.uk/faqs/personal-bankruptcy/bankruptcy-how-does-it-work/ |
"After much consideration over the last two or three years, I have decided to surrender plan-it-x records. Plan-it-X will not be releasing any more music in a physical format. It is not financially possible for me to do this anymore. In my opinion concept of the record label is no needed. Bands can do it themselves which is what this scene has always been about for me. Sam and I only started this label to help bands that could not afford to release their own music or had no interest in doing mail order themselves. We just released music for bands that we fell in love with, and wanted the world to hear. It was a passion, a community, not a business. We served a purpose at the time. Plan-it-x is no longer needed. I also refuse to give in to the social media push to be more aggressive and advertise and market our bands. The D.I.Y. punk scene has always meant so much more to me than that. I have tried to grow and change with the times but I'm really not feeling it. I also think that if Sam was here today, she would agree with me. She felt these things long before I did. I believe it would dishonor her memory to keep going.
The catalog will stay active for a few months, so if you want to buy something do it soon. After that, P.I.X. releases will be available from No Idea Records. They have a P.I.X. section in their distro catalog. The bandcamp will remain up for a while, unless I start to feel weird about it. If you're reading this as an active P.I.X. band, and would like your records, contact me and you can have them. I've very grateful to all the bands that have been a part of P.I.X. and I regret that this might be the first you have heard about the end.
Also, I regret to announce that there will not be a Plan-it-X fest this year, I know I told many people that I was 90% sure their would be, but I don't think it's a good idea. I'm not saying there will never be another one, but there will not be one in 2016.
I'm very sorry if this news makes you sad, it makes me very sad too. It has taken me a very long time to come to this conclusion, to admit that the thing I have devoted twenty one, or twenty two years of my life to is no longer possible.
I look forward to moving on to something new and feeling inspired again soon. I'm open to suggestions (please don't suggest that I keep doing P.I.X. unless you can pay for all the records to be released and maybe help out with storage of those records that won't sell).
With the most sincerity possible, I want to thank all of the AMAZING people that have been involved with P.I.X. over the years. I mean everyone: bands, helpers, record assemblers, people who wrote nice letters, all the people that helped me move heavy boxes of records, other labels and distros that allied with P.I.X. and everyone that came to plan-it-x fest and everyone that worked at any P.I.X. fest.
I am so grateful for the friends I have made over these years because of this record label. Thank you. -chris"
I'm starting to get pretty serious about making this happen, I am thinking 5 years from now? I want to move to Scandinavia or the Netherlands most likely. Top choice is Amsterdam because I'm a cliche and also I really don't want to drive and also because I just finished the Letters of Vincent Van Gogh. Alternatively, Canada, which would probably be the easiest but also the most like America, which I am sick to death of. Cost of living has always been the biggest drawback, but I live in Portland, so the comparison is actually pretty equal it seems. Really just want to know how hard it really is, if anyone has done it before? I've seen that they have a tax break if you are a "skilled worker" in Amsterdam at least... Anyone know how open that interpretation is? Tattoo artist is pretty skilled.... but it's not exactly the super techy jobs that most people talking about the tax break have...
(just fyi - oregon has the strictest tattoo licensing in the country and requires that you receive formal training from a licensed school unless you have years of experience tattooing in another state. tattoo school if you plan to work in oregon is not optional, and the school i'm applying to is extremely professional, and legit! just a disclaimer, because i've had to explain it to people not familiar with the oregon licensing criteria, and people who went through traditional tattoo apprenticeships feel reeeal threatened when you talk about tattoo school. it is true - in most states it's basically a money making scheme, but in oregon it is basically like an art school, with a similar application process. okay cool!)
ANYWAY, I'm working on submitting my portfolio, and have a bunch of stuff that is about a year old from when I was in art classes and shit. but i want to have a few brand new pieces, and thought I might as well try my hand at some traditional tattoo styles, just to see what I'm already capable of. Drawing is taught at the school as well, so they're not expecting you to be perfect by any means... but I've drawn tattoo style shit for as long as I remember anyway, so why not.
I get why Native American stuff is appropriation because it's profiting off an oppressed culture and everything. Egypt is obviously not my heritage but I don't feel like this crosses the same lines as like a headdress or war bonnet would. Am I wrong?? I feel like ancient Egypt is part of a history we all share... Is that also wrong?? I'm obviously not saying I'm part African or anything. Ahhhh I don't know.
this woman moved in next door and she is wasted all the time - not sure on what but it's probably painkillers or something along those lines? she doesn't have meth teeth or anything, just very vacant, slurs a lot, etc. she never leaves the apartment, yells at the top of her lungs on the phone for hours a day using incredibly foul language (there are kids running around outside who are definitely in earshot), tonight she's been listening to an ipod (I GUESS - there is no actual music playing) and singing LITERALLY at the top of her lung since i got home 3 hours ago. I don't even know how she still has a voice she's singing so loud. Our walls are concrete blocks and I NEVER hear my other neighbors. She chain smokes in her doorway and has left cigarette butts scattered all over the walkway and into my doorway. If i leave my window open (which is pretty necessary since i don't have ac) my apartment smells like cigarettes for days. (sidenote that i couldn't actually complain about but she's outside ALL THE TIME and basically latches on like a starving puppy and she tries to talk to you because she is desperate for attention i guess). I UNDERSTAND she probably has mental health issues, she told my boyfriend the first day she moved in that she's suing her ex-fiance for causing her to miscarry triplets... which is really sad if it's true and really really fucked up to say if it's not (which is the direction i'm leaning), i want to be sensitive to that but she is also driving me NUTS. I'm not calling the cops for a noise violation or anything... can i do ANYTHING? I've started taking random recordings of her yell/screaming....
normally i'm suuuuuuper chill about this stuff but holy shit it is incessant! | eng | 30177834-c117-42bc-bb14-45bb57b8fe80 | https://bbs.hijinx.nu/index.php?action=profile;area=showposts;sa=topics;u=60 |
Peer pressure
Peer pressure
Peer Pressure is a term describing the pressure exerted by a peer group in encouraging a person to change their attitude, behavior and/or morals, to conform to, for example, the group's actions, fashion sense, taste in music and television, or outlook on life. Social groups affected include "membership groups", when the individual is "formally" a member (for example, a political party or trade union), and social cliques. A person affected by peer pressure may or may not want to belong to these groups. They may also recognize "dissociative groups" with which they would "not" wish to associate, and thus they behave adversely concerning that group's behaviors. Peer pressure can also cause people to do things they wouldn't normally do, e.g. take drugs, smoke, etc. Peer Pressure is defined in life coaching: [ the necessity of the individual to create the appearance in his group(s) that all his well with him.] Peer pressure is not created externally but from within the individual. Children may copy behaviour patterns of their parents but usually do so voluntarily rather than compulsively.

Branched-chain amino acids weight loss, how much muscle can you gain in a month on steroids
Branched-chain amino acids weight loss
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs): BCAAs are a class of essential amino acids that the body can use for energy and muscle synthesis. One of the most plentiful BCAAs is leucine. It is a simple (only 4 carbon atoms) molecule and is a building block of protein, anabolic steroids testosterone cypionate. The body synthesizes enough leucine for an animal to function without the need to eat protein. A high proportion of your body's leucine supply is derived from milk, how much arimidex for 750mg test.

Because of this, milk consumption is important to maintain your muscle mass, and can aid with an athletic performance.Lysine (L): L-glutamate is a simple (only 2 carbon atoms) amino acid and is a part of phosphoglycerides (also known as glycoproteins) that are made by the body and used as energy storage for our cells, muscle anabolic supplement store. L-glutamate is needed for the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is a precursor to our cells' metabolism of glucose, branched-chain amino acids weight loss.Glutamine (G): G-alanine is an amino acid that is very important in our body, do anabolic steroids suppress the immune system. Glutamine is an important amino acid necessary for cell protein synthesis, the building of energy, and energy storage in the body. Glutamine is also important for the formation of the nerve signals that can regulate the heart beat. This is important in the treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease, gear test steroids.Methionine (M): Methylglyoxal (Glu)- is a simple, non-essential amino acid that is necessary for the formation of protein and cell wall in our bodies. However, methylglyoxal is only an important source of this amino acid in our bodies, gear test steroids. Methylglyoxal is a form of glucose in our bodies that is used for energy production.Phenylalanine (PAr): PAr is an amino acid and is necessary for our bodies to manufacture neurotransmitters, acids amino weight loss branched-chain. PAr is also required for the production of hormones and other substances that support growth, differentiation, and repair in the body.Valine (V): Valine is the most abundant carbohydrate in the body, do anabolic steroids suppress the immune system. Unlike amino acids, which require very little sugar to work their magic, the body needs no energy to work its magic, how much arimidex for 750mg test0. In fact, the only energy our body needs is from protein.

In fact, it appears to be one of the strongest anabolic steroids in this regard. However, at this time there is no known use for it.A source of creatine monohydrate is creatine. It comes in powder form such as powder creatine monohydrate. It's sometimes called creatine monohydrate powder.Some bodybuilders use creatine monohydrate tablets or chelates instead of creatine monohydrate powder. Many of these sources of creatine monohydrate powder are not good sources of creatine.The most commonly used sources of creatine monohydrate powder are:A.L.I.-CEN1g500gA.L.I.-CEN can be purchased here.Some sources of creatine monohydrate powder such as A.L.I.-CEN, are made from cow's or sheep's muscle. It's also possible that these supplements are made from plant-based (organic) sources and contain some sort of animal by-product that is converted into creatine. However, it's also conceivable that these supplements contain some sort of synthetic creatine.It's worth noting that some sources of creatine monohydrate are sometimes referred to as "natural powders". Some of these natural sources don't contain any synthetic form of creatine, but contain other ingredients that may or may not have the same effects as synthetic forms of creatine.What is Dihydrotestosterone?Dihydrotestosterone is synthetic testosterone that is typically found in supplement form. It's most often used to help boost testosterone levels. It can be found in creatine sources, such as creatine monohydrate. There are sources that are made from the same plant sources as creatine, such as soybeans.Dihydrotestosterone can also be found in animal sources. Like soybeans, the testicles of animals have a high amount of Dihydrotestosterone.What is Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)?Dihydrotestosterone is a naturally occurring metabolite of testosterone that may or may not be related to steroids. DHT is not produced in large amounts in most animals, and even in some animal species that do produce high amounts of testosterone. DHT is a type of lipotoxic chemical called DHT. It has a very high affinity for cholesterol.Many forms of DHT are considered highly carcinogenic.

Is it possible to send context features in predict API only once and not copy them to every instance? I use tensorflow recommenders library - ranking model. I want to rank batch of 100 entities. Each entity has some entity features and all entities have the same set of common/context features. I don't want to send context features through network in each 'instance' record but only one and join this features on the server side - tensorflow serving. Is this possible / have you some examples?
Each entity has some entity features and all entities have the same set of common/context features.
In any case, I haven't done or seen examples of what you're wanting to do, but I'm also interested if someone can help, because it does seem reasonable to append some features on the server side just before inference.
Sorry for my english.
Each instance for ranking is composed from item and context features and context features are the same in each instance. So is ineffective to send them for each instance through HTTP request to tf serving service. We want to send item features for each instance and in extra attribute context features a then join this data before inference on tf serving side. | eng | 1fafaed8-4572-4f0b-9d3f-50f6ac1e3439 | https://discuss.tensorflow.org/t/how-to-send-contextual-features-to-predict-api-only-once-and-not-for-all-instances/9330 |

From source to sea transport and fate of plastic waste Indonesia
Published | 8 June 2021

The World Bank has published Deltares-led study estimating plastic waste discharges from land-based sources in Indonesia. In this study, we provide the first Indonesia-wide assessment integrating local waste data with actual hydrological conditions to tell the story of how local waste handling practices contribute to marine plastic pollution.
The Government of Indonesia has made ambitious commitments to improve waste management and tackle marine litter. In recent years, some global studies that estimated inputs of plastic waste into the oceans ranked Indonesia as one of the largest contributors to plastic marine pollution. The challenge of plastic waste and marine litter requires a robust national response to curb the significant impacts on Indonesian marine biodiversity, its communities and its economy. However, there is still lack of detailed understanding on the current state and origin of plastic pollution that is meaningful to design appropriate measures.
Mismanaged municipal solid waste transported via rivers
Our assessment indicated that mismanaged municipal solid waste in Indonesia results in plastic waste inputs into the sea between 201.1 and 552.3 kton/year, most of it transported via rivers. Huge amounts of plastic waste generated remain uncollected, in particular in rural areas. As such, communities lack sustainable alternatives to deal with their waste, relying on improper waste handling practices, such as burning and disposal of waste in waterways.
Transport and fate from source to sea
In the assignment, we constructed a spatially and temporally variable representation of the generation, transport and fate of plastic waste from source to sea, as a reflection of certain performances of waste generation and management from the communities that live within a catchment area.
Using Deltares suite of models, we simulated the mobilisation and transport of plastic in all major catchments in the country, considering the topography, elevation, soil-type, land-use and spatially and variable weather data, such as rainfall. These results were then aggregated to determine the contribution of each river to marine plastic pollution, the regencies/cities that are most problematic, as well as the total national estimate of plastic discharges from Indonesia into the marine environment.
Pinpointing where and which interventions are most needed
Such a detailed type of information can help the Indonesian government to tackle plastic pollution by pinpointing where and which interventions are most needed, as well as providing a realistic baseline against which progress in preventing plastic inputs into the sea can be tracked.
The study was welcomed by the Indonesian Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment, who oversees marine litter policies in Indonesia. | eng | 51e99dc5-1ef5-442c-aac3-9c4740e084ea | https://www.deltares.nl/en/news/from-source-to-sea-transport-and-fate-of-plastic-waste-indonesia |
One reason your diversity initiative isn't moving numbers
When people don't belong, they will go to extremes to fix it, like seek another employer.
Of the four concepts that comprise DEIB (diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging), belonging may be the most elusive. Organizational leaders struggle to define it and measure it, two factors that result in belonging getting relatively less emphasis in diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Belonging is the sense of acceptance and inclusion in a group or organization.
And it is crucial. Nearly 30 years ago, the belongingness hypothesis was proposed by researchers Baumeister and Leary, who suggested that human beings have an almost universal need to form and maintain at least some degree of interpersonal relationships with other humans. This is why creating an inclusive culture where people feel they belong can be so incredibly powerful in retaining talent.
When people feel they belong, the workplace can be a source of meeting this foundational human need. What is stickier?
More than that, consider how belonging drives other organizational behavior. Behaviors like exerting power, creating intimacy, seeking approval, driving toward achievement and generating positive affiliation with others all stem from the underlying need to belong. When people don't belong, they will go to extremes to fix it, like seek another employer.
What the data say
Looking across thousands of BetterUp members, we have seen a significant correlation between belonging and life satisfaction. People with high belonging have 43% higher life satisfaction. When you think about what few things in our lives actually make a dent on overall life satisfaction, that's pretty important.
We have also seen that belonging creates a deeper embeddedness for employees. People who feel they belong have 34% higher intent to stay at their organization and are 167% more likely to recommend their company as a great place to work to others.
But it's not just retention that creates a return-on-investment for belonging. There are also gains in productivity and overall performance. If all workers at a 10,000-person company felt a high degree of belonging, productivity gains would top $52 million a year.
Why it matters
Belonging something that matters to everyone. In fact, whether looking at geography, race, gender, or ethnicity, rates of loneliness are equivocal. Helping people find belonging in their teams and in the organization, helps them feel a sense of interconnectedness to others. Building cultures where people feel they belong is going to inspire higher commitment to the organization.
When organizations ignore the belonging piece of the DEIB puzzle, they often continue to have diverse representation issues — especially at the higher levels of the organization. This can leave leaders scratching their heads wondering why their recruitment efforts or bias training are not moving the numbers. But if belonging hasn't been a central part of the strategy, any diversity intervention can fall flat.
The bottom line is: when organizations don't foster belonging, diverse talent will seek other employers who will. But when organizations make the investment in a truly inclusive culture where everyone can feel they belong it can profoundly impact the lives of their people. And this is how the leaky diverse talent pipeline can close. | eng | 822ce7eb-b825-4471-b9a5-81e5fe33b9ca | https://www.betterup.com/blog/one-reason-your-diversity-initiative-isnt-moving-numbers |

10 Tried and Tested Home Remedies For Irregular Periods
Ask any girl, and she'd let you know how traumatic intervals are. There is virtually no escape while it's that point of the month. With all of the soreness of float and ache, periods may be traumatizing. And with irregular intervals, there is added stress.
The average menstrual cycle is 28 days. However, this may vary from woman to female and month to month. If your periods come each 24 to 38 days also, they're nonetheless taken into consideration irregular.
If the time between durations continues changing and your intervals come in advance or later, it's far considered irregular.
However, there is a treatment for everything, and no, we aren't speaking approximately you taking drug treatments but some home remedies that'll assist you in regularising your durations.
10. Having buttermilk that is rich in calcium, potassium, proteins, and vitamin B complex, aids hormone secretion, for this reason supporting cure irregular periods. You certainly might rely on any one of the many natural home remedies you have heard about when you have a mild ailment or a common disease. It is perfectly normal for people to rely on something they have at their disposal rather than run to the doctor or the drugstore when they are not feeling well. There are also cases in which the standard treatment of a medical condition may be painful or insufficient to relieve the symptoms. Hence, sufferers resort to using home remedies to feel better.
It is worth defining what natural home remedies are first. These are different substances that are made from products commonly found in the home. These include herbs, spices, other cooking ingredients, vegetables, and fruits. The medications are made through different processes. The instructions for preparation are described in recipes.
It is not known exactly who invented the homemade remedies that we know today. In the past, people did not have medications like we do today. Sciences, such as chemistry and biology, were not invented. It is believed that many of the medicinal properties of different plants and foods have been discovered accidentally. For instance, a person with a stomach upset decided to chew a good-smelling plant, and he felt better. In turn, others started using it as well. As people began to learn more about plants, vegetables, and fruits, they started making more complex recipes, including various ingredients | eng | 08c0ddde-66ad-42be-a572-d308d027558f | https://motivness.com/10-tried-and-tested-home-remedies-for-irregular-periods/ |

California, a new law came into effect on July 1, which is likely to make many teens happy. It delays school start times, requiring public high schools to start at 8:30 a.m. or later — half an hour later than the U.S. average — while high schools start at 8 a.m. or later. The result: Teens sleep in more.
This is the first law of its kind in the US and it's a big step in the right direction.
Sleep loss is such a common problem that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) declared it a public health issue epidemic† It can be the result of insomnia, when you can't fall asleep despite the chance to do so, or sleep deprivation, when your schedule denies you the opportunity.
Researchers at Columbia University say that teens, in particular, are in the midst of a "Great sleep recession† The proportion of American adolescents getting enough sleep has plummeted over the years. Adults don't fare much better: We need at least seven hours of sleep a night, but only 35 percent of Americans report sleeping between seven and nine hours on average, according to Gallup's State of Sleep in America 2022 Report†
It wasn't always like that. According to Gallup poll data from 2013In 1942, only 11 percent of us slept six hours or less a night, but that figure had risen to 42 percent by 1990.
Sleep loss is a huge problem because it is possible increases our risk for diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and even early death. It can also cause a lot of emotional distress, from loneliness to anxiety. Plus, low-income people and racial minorities get less sleep than others, making this both an equity issue and a health problem.
Research shows that losing sleep can actually lead us to: behave unethically† When we are sleepy, our ability to resist temptation decreases, so we tend to act more selfishly and less cooperatively. Sleep-deprived people vote less, donate less and sign petitions less quickly.
So, what can be done to cure the sleep loss epidemic? The solutions we often throw at it – devices, drugs – often have serious drawbacks (more on that below). In addition, they focus on the individual. As a widespread public health problem, the epidemic of sleep loss calls for a solution that will help everyone, not just those who have the time and money to access individualized treatments.
"I think governments should intervene"
Experts blame the sleep loss epidemic a number of factorsincluding longer working hours, longer commute distances, excessive alcohol and coffee consumption, insufficient sunlight during the day and excessive artificial light at night. The invasion of technology in the bedroom harms us, both because the blue light from our screens tells our brains to stay awake, and because playing with our phones prompts us to delay sleep (just one more scroll!).
Then there's the fact that sleep has an image problem. In many developed countries, the prevailing cultural assumption is that very little sleep means you are working hard, and a normal amount of sleep means you are lazy.
"That's a terrible stigma for us to have to fight in society," said Matt Walker, a professor of neuroscience at the University of California Berkeley and the author of Why do we sleep?† "There's this sleep-macho attitude, this boast, where we like to wear our insufficient sleep as a badge of honor."
The association of sleep and laziness has seeped into family life, with parents often pushing their teens to "get up and shine" instead of "wasting the day" in bed, Walker said.
But teens need more sleep than adults—eight to 10 hours a night—and they have a natural tendency to… fall asleep later and wake up later due to a shift in circadian rhythms that begins in puberty. To give them ample opportunity to sleep, American Academy of Pediatrics and CDC say schools should start at 8:30 a.m. or later. Even so, most U.S. high schools and high schools still open earlier.
That California passed a law that delays school start times, it may encourage others, such as: New York and New Jerseyconsidering similar legislation.
Once students are in school, more can be done to teach them the importance of a good night's sleep. Just like we have sex, maybe we should have slept.
"Why don't we work with the World Health Organization to create a standardized sleep educational toolkit, translated into many languages for many countries?" Walker suggested, adding that hospitals should also put up posters with recommendations about sleep, just as they put up posters about getting flu shots and exercise.
"I think governments should get involved," Walker said. "The first thing they can do is make people aware of the importance of sleep, with an announcement or public policy. There is no memorable set of information, visual or otherwise, that has been given to the public."
In contrast, many of us have seen the US Department of Agriculture iconic image of a plate show how much we should eat of each food group.
The government needs to be motivated to make sure we all get enough sleep – if not out of health concern, then out of concern for the economy. Since sleep loss negatively impacts our well-being, it reduces our productivity at work, which comes with economic costs.
A Rand Corporation report quantifying these costs found that the US loses $411 billion a year, or 2.28 percent of its GDP, due to insufficient sleep. And yet small changes could really help: If Americans who sleep less than six hours get six to seven hours of sleep, it could add $226.4 billion to the economy. That is certainly an investment that is worth it.
Therapy, apps, pills: do they make for a better night's sleep?
For people who suffer from insomnia, cognitive behavioral therapy can help. CBT focuses on challenging maladaptive behaviors or negative thinking patterns (in the context of sleep, that could be, "I couldn't sleep last night, so I bet I won't be able to sleep tonight!"). its spin-off, CBT-I, has been developed over the past 20 years to specifically target insomnia. It's so effective that it's now "usually recommended as the first-line treatment for insomnia," according to the sleep physician Guy Leschziner†
But therapy can be expensive, time consuming and difficult to access. So in recent years, we've seen an explosion of apps like Sleepio that claim to cure our sleep problems with gamified exercises extracted from CBT. But just because CBT exercises work in a clinical setting doesn't automatically mean they will work when delivered through gamified apps. The apps need a deeper evidence base.
A host of other technologies claim to help with our sleep, such as Fitbits, Apple Watches, and other wearable sleep trackers. But experts say this one can paradoxically make our sleep worse by increasing our anxiety and becoming obsessed with achieving perfect sleep, a real condition known as orthosomnia.
And then, of course, there is the plethora of sleeping pills on the market.
Unfortunately, many prescription sleep aids are less effective than many people think and can be addictive. Melatonin, marketed as a naturally produced hormone, has become a popular alternative, but like many dietary supplements in America, it is not well regulated, sold in excessive doses, and the risks of long-term use have not been assessed.
That's not to say there aren't conditions under which it makes sense to take melatonin or another sleep aid. But as a solution to our global epidemic of sleep loss, they are inherently limited.
There are broader social conditions that cause sleep loss. Low-income people and racial minorities get less sleep than others. This also applies to people who live in noisy neighborhoods and who work irregular shifts. In fact, night shift work classified as likely carcinogenic because of the way it disrupts circadian rhythms.
Scientists have found that you feel stressed or unsafe – due to anything from: racial discrimination to the Covid-19 pandemic – often translates into poor sleep as it signals the brain to remain vigilant.
The ethical implication here is that if we really want to help all people get the sleep they need, we can't just say "there's an app for that" or "there's a pill for that" and put the burden on the individual. lay to solve the problem. We need to change the social conditions that keep us awake in the first place | eng | 0b7f942e-0ddf-4b74-9331-54cd0e14a2ca | https://cafe-madrid.com/to-fight-an-epidemic-of-sleep-loss-california-is-postponing-school-start-times/ |
How to Reduce Poverty Essay – 8 Ways to Solve Poverty
How to reduce poverty essay: Simply, poverty means the inability to access basic human needs such as water, food, shelter, security, and so on. But in the modern economic world, human trafficking, prostitution, child soldiers are also concerned as the people who live in poverty situations. So, nowadays poverty is called as wide range of areas instead of the basic needs. In this essay, we will discuss how to reduce poverty (solution to poverty essay)
As the initial step to reduce poverty, we should correctly measure poverty and increase awareness of global poverty. This will help countries to understand their poverty level, compare the poverty level with other countries and reduce the poverty level. Also, these measurements will helpful to global financial institutions identify the most help-needed countries that should be supported.
World Bank has measured global poverty as the number of people who live under $1.9 per day. The following graph shows the percentage of the world population who live less than $1.9 per day.
(World Bank, n d.)
According to the above graph global poverty has been decreasing. In the year 1981, 42.7 percent of people in the world have suffered from poverty. In the year 2017, it has been reduced up to 9.3 percent of the world population.
Next, "Our World in Data" organization has measured and graphed the Gini Index of the counties as follows.
(Roser & Ortiz-Ospina, 2013)
According to the above graph, most South American and African countries show the higher Gini Index value which presents higher poverty and economic inequality. On the other hand, most of the European countries, North American countries and, Australia show the lower Gini Index value which shows lower income inequality and poverty.
Next solution to poverty is invest more on the education
2. How to reduce poverty: Invest more on the education
Children who receive an education are given the knowledge and life skills necessary to reach their greatest potential. We can assist children in obtaining a high-quality education through educating teachers, constructing new schools, and removing obstacles that prevent many children from doing so.As an example, we can say, the village banking system of FINCA (Foundation for International Community Assistance) provides quality education.
3.How to reduce poverty: Increase the access for clean water and sanitation
Health is directly impacted by access to clean water and sanitation. At the moment, 800 million people lack access to clean water, and 2.5 billion lack sufficient sanitation. Girls are prevented from attending school due to filthy bathrooms, which prevents them from gaining an education. More than one million children die each year from diseases like diarrhea and cholera, which spread when there is a lack of safe water. As an example, we can say, the village banking system of FINCA (Foundation for International Community Assistance) provides clean energy, safety managed sanitation facilities to the poverty groups. By offering these facilities, they wish to improve the standards of living of poverty groups.
Next solution to poverty is empower the gender equality
4. How to reduce poverty: Empower the gender equality
With women making up two-thirds of the world's illiterate. Therefore, it is important to equalize the number of boys and girls in primary, intermediate, and higher education. Girls who attend school are less likely to marry before turning 18, resulting in a 64 percent reduction in child marriage rates globally. Similar to this, literate women are less likely to spread diseases like HIV/AIDS because they have a better understanding of how diseases are transmitted, which in the long run speeds up the elimination of poverty.
5. How to reduce poverty: Improve the infrastructure in rural areas.
By improving infrastructure in rural areas, we can increase the health, education, sanitary facilities. So, they will be helpful to reduce poverty. The World Bank conducts a special program to reduce poverty which is called Guangxi Poverty Reduction Program. Under this program, the world bank work to improve the rural road infrastructure and drinking water supply.
6. How to reduce poverty: Create job opportunities
If you own a business or an organization in the community, look for areas you could use some help with. The fact that many persons in poverty may not have had access to advanced education or specialized certificates does not imply that they lack the abilities necessary to contribute. One method to affect change to assist neighbors living in poverty in your community is to broaden your recruiting pool, identify areas of opportunity within your business or group, and offer a decent wage.
N7th solution to poverty is provide financial support
7. How to reduce poverty: Provide financial support.
We can provide different types of financial assistance to lower-income countries and groups of people who feel in the poverty. As examples for some financial funds we can say, the PRGF (Poverty Reduction and Growth Facility) is provided by International Monetary Fund (IMF). Under the PRGF program, IMF provides financial support to the developing countries and countries in transition. Also, FINCA provides essential financial services and provides financial assistance to lower-income families.
8. How to reduce poverty: Provide technological assistance
By providing technological assistance economic growth can be increased. Because technological improvements are one of the determinants of economic growth. So, many global financial institutions provide technological assistance to developing countries to enhance their technology. As examples, we can say World Bank helps small-scale farmers to develop their skills under the Guangxi Poverty Reduction Program. This will help to reduce rural poverty. Because most rural people engage in agricultural-related economic activities. FINCA also has introduced a new financial technology (FinTech) under the program of the "FINCA Forward". Because of this program, people can enjoy new facilities such as mobile financing when they transact with the FINCA microfinance branches. IMF also helps countries to strengthen their policymaking capacity by providing advice on institutional organizations and providing training to the officials. | eng | 09949c31-c435-4fe5-8c76-3a2fc1ae31fe | https://economictopics.com/how-to-reduce-poverty-essay-8-ways-to-solve-poverty/ |
Tracking the Latino Student Experience

Ebelia Hernandez, an assistant professor at Rutgers' Graduate School of Educationhopes her experience as the daughter of Mexican immigrants can help fine tune the campus experience for a new generation of Latino students.
With funding from a Rutgers Faculty Grant, Hernandez is exploring such matters as adherence to faith and devotion to family to gauge their impact on day-to-day undergraduate life among students whose families hail from the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, Colombia, Peru, and Ecuador.
"There is a disparity in higher education – Latinos are on the lowest end in terms of access to college and degree attainment," Hernandez says. "We lag behind all the other ethnic groups." | eng | 9ce8efd4-dc09-4b35-bb43-d46edc774f5f | https://gse.rutgers.edu/tracking-the-latino-student-experience/ |

Billionaires taking action on climate change are part of a long tradition
Written by David Tuffley, Senior Lecturer in Applied Ethics & CyberSecurity, Griffith University
If governments won't act quickly enough on climate change, who will?
Enter the new breed of (mostly young) billionaire philanthropists[1]. Their goal is to use their influence and money to push the boundaries of science and technology for society's benefit.
One example is Mike Cannon-Brookes, billionaire co-founder of software developer Atlassian[2] and his partner Annie Cannon-Brooke who this month pledged A$1.5 billion[3] to invest in climate projects by 2030.
$1 billion will be in financial investments and $500 million in philanthropic and advocacy work, with the aim of keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees. He wants other executives to follow suit.
In the US the world's largest funds manager Blackrock has injected funds into billionaire Bill Gates' Breakthrough Energy[4], which is using philanthropic money to accelerate investments in new technologies.
Breakthrough has reportedly secured US$1 billion in investments from Microsoft, General Motors, American Airlines, Boston Consulting Group, Bank of America and ArcelorMittal.
In India, in Denmark, in Australia
In India, its richest citizen Mukesh Ambani[5] has pledged to take his energy giant net-zero by 2035, an undertaking he will fulfil by switching to renewable sources and converting carbon dioxide emissions into useful products and chemicals.
Elsewhere a Danish sceptic on carbon pricing Bjørn Lomborg has made a case for innovation in energy research[10] in energy research as the way to limit carbon emissions, citing a parallel from the 1860's when whales were hunted to near extinction for oil that was used to light homes.
He says the solution was not to tax whales, it was the invention of kerosene[11] that undercut the cost of whale oil.
What's happening isn't new
In 1919 businessman Raymond Orteig[12] offered US$25,000 for the first person to fly non-stop from New York to Paris.
The prize was won by an unknown 25-year-old US Army Reserve officer, Charles Lindberg[13], spurring enormous advances in aviation.
Le Journals' coverage of Charles A. Lindbergh's 33 hour flight from New York to Pariswhich won him US$25,000 in prize money.
The prize will go to the team from anywhere on the planet who can invent a machine that extracts carbon dioxide from the atmosphere or oceans at gigatonne-scale.
Previous X Prizes have been awarded for the application of artificial intelligence to global issues, turning carbon dioxide into useful products, developing cheaper methods of mass testing for COVID, and creating water from thin air[15].
Horses for courses
There is a sound argument that important pledges and projects should be the responsibility of governments rather than individuals.
Billionaires often get where they are by acting on self-interest, so it isn't reasonable to expect them to act in the interest of the entire public.
On the other hand, some problems are too important and time sensitive to leave in the hands of governments that can't act with agility.
If an individual loses their money, it's their loss. If the government loses the money, its the taxpayer's loss. So governments have to be cautious.
It's probably not a matter of one or the other. Governments shouldn't abandon their responsibility to act in the public interest. On the other hand, wealthy philanthropists throughout history have been prepared to help.

California's Delta water dilemma
If you don't understand the California water scene, you're in a large company. Most of the state's residents don't either.
Partly because it is almost impossibly complicated.
Some explanation is in order.
In the first place, most of California receives practically no rain between May and November. Agriculture thus relies heavily on irrigation, using water from the great state and federal water projects.
The state's Central Valley—the heart of its agriculture, including the produce industry—runs some 450 miles more or less north-south (more or less) between Redding in the north and Bakersfield to the south. It is 40-60 miles wide at various spots.
These valleys are created by the Sacramento River in the north and the San Joaquin River in the south. They meet in the Delta, a marshy region southwest of Sacramento. (For more on the Delta, see here.
These rivers are largely fed by rainfall, runoff, and snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada Mountains in the east.
The torrential rains of the past few weeks (which delivered 15-25 inches of rain to various areas) have put an end to the "extreme" aspect of the drought.
But they have resurrected a perennial issue in the fertile but semiarid state. It focuses on the Delta, which is fed not only by the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers, but other rivers coming down directly from the Sierras.
The Delta is not only the center-point of California's water system but of controversies about it.
These have to do with how much water should be allowed to flow through the Delta into San Francisco Bay and how much should be diverted for agricultural use (especially in the San Joaquin Valley).
Agricultural interests want more of the Delta water pumped south so they can grow crops without having to delve even further into their depleted groundwater supplies. Of course, they feel this need especially acutely now, after years of drought.
Environmental interests want to keep the Delta flow-through high to maintain it as a wildlife habitat.
Here is another detail you need to know: by and large, California agricultural interests favor (and are favored by) Republicans, while environmental interests favor (and are favored by) Democrats.
The Democrats control both the governorship and the Legislature. This helps explain why many California agricultural leaders (rightly or wrongly) contend that the state government is blind to their interests, such as increased Delta pumping.
This article is not a call to action, nor does it engage in editorializing.
It is simply explaining some basics without which you just won't understand what's going on with California water.
It took me some years to figure all this out, so I'm trying to make it easier for my readers | eng | 6fcc9f0d-e47c-4504-a993-7407c029112e | https://www.producebluebook.com/2023/01/25/californias-delta-water-dilemma/ |
So, instead of coming up with a new name to hide behind, Claro is taking the unorthodox approach of just calling its faster LTE network 4.5G, and then making the "5" bigger in hopes that you just don't notice the "4" next to it?
4.5G still isn't actual 5G, no matter how big you write the five
Now, Claro's network isn't new — the company has been advertising it for a few months now with the new logo. And in case there was any doubt, Claro's website clarifies that this is basically the same type of network as AT&T's 5G Evolution (and basically every other LTE Advanced network) — with support for 4x4 MIMO, 256 QAM, and carrier aggregation technology. Claro says that the new network should be up to 10 times faster than its 4G network, which sounds like a lot, but 4.5G still isn't actual 5G, no matter how big you write the five.
Honestly, the 4.5G branding isn't that insulting on its own — sure, it's not the actual name of the spec from the 3GPP (that'd be either LTE Advanced or LTE Advanced Pro, depending on what specifications Claro is using), but it's not as baldfaced a deception as AT&T's 5G E. I still don't know which is worse — AT&T for lying so openly, or Claro for doing it so badly.
But that logo is just such a perfect mix of ineptitude and evil that I can't help but just stare in awe. It's like seeing a bad superhero villain monologue about an obviously flawed plan — sure, it's never going to work, but you can't help but watch. | eng | 0c6b05cc-2d88-49ae-b49a-5c3a005192a9 | https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2019/2/14/18225318/claros-4-5g-network-logo-dishonest-brazil-cell-carrier |

Aerospace Engineering Laboratory Embraces Diatoms
Dr. Santiago Garcia's research group at the department of Aerospace Structures and Materials at the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering is currently investigating the potential use of algae as a source to develop environmentally friendly surface treatments and coatings for corrosion protection.
Delft University of Technology's (TUDelft) department of Aerospace Structures and Materials is currently investigating the potential use of algae as a source to develop environmentally friendly surface treatments and coatings for corrosion protection.
Leading this project team at the Dutch research center is Dr. Santiago Garcia. "The research we are doing with algae and other microorganisms (e.g. fungi) has sparked the interest of academics and industry alike to study the potential that microorganisms may hide for the development of novel surfaces and materials for aircraft and spacecraft," he says.
In a preliminary work in collaboration with Dr. Corina Brussaard from the Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research (NIOZ), the research team explored how different diatom monocultures grow biofilms on different aerospace relevant materials observing crucial differences. This has been followed by interdisciplinary research carried out by Sèra Zalman, an MSc student of the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering.
In her MSc thesis, Ms. Zalman is performing a detailed study to understand the potential effect that local microstructure of aerospace aluminum alloys has on the motility and surface interaction of a selected diatom species. Besides this line of research with living diatoms, PhD candidate Jingjing Zhao is studying how to make an efficient use of diatom exoskeletons to protect aircraft against corrosion in the framework of an ongoing research collaboration with Airbus.
Now that the starting infrastructure has been established and the first promising scientific results have been obtained, the team intends to consolidate the work and expand the perspectives of this promising research through solid collaborations with other academics and industry.
Starting this research would not have been possible without some initial investment in basic equipment such as a new incubator, which was partially sponsored by Aerospace Engineering alumni and the Delft University Fund. The incubator allows the research team to grow the algae in their labs which is very useful when doing this kind of research where control growth parameters, time, and environmental cyclic exposure may have an impact on the algae-surface interactions. An incubator at the very lab where the characterization takes place reduces the risk of disturbing the cultures and allows for more direct parameter-property relationship studies.
"Getting this project started took us quite some effort," says Dr. Garcia, "as we had to begin a totally new research topic and get into scientific domains quite uncommon for material scientists and engineers. This required the establishment of new collaborations and protocols in our lab but also the strong support from NIOZ and colleagues at TNW (Applied Sciences) to whom we are very thankful. It is a pleasure to see that we established solid and fruitful collaborations that should lead to more breakthrough and exciting interdisciplinary research | eng | f4708f08-26dd-4d41-9f7d-dbe7b7d3a638 | https://algaeplanet.com/aerospace-engineering-laboratory-embraces-diatoms/ |

Protesters Demand Troops Leave Embattled Kazakhstan Town
Hundreds have protested for a third day in oil-rich western Kazakhstan against the police shooting deaths of at least 15 people demonstrating against job cuts.
The protesters were demanding troops pull out of the town of Zhanaozen Monday, where President Nursultan Nazarbayev declared a state of emergency because of the violence.
Kazakhstan's ambassador to the United States, Erlan Idrissov, says the government had no choice but to impose a state of emergency to protect what he calls innocent lives. Ambassador Idrissov says the government regrets the loss of life in Zhanaozen. He says a commission will seek to resolve disputes between oil workers and the state-owned energy company.
Fired oil workers and others demanding higher pay destroyed a Christmas tree and tents in the Zhanaozen town square Friday and burned several buildings, setting off clashes with police. Kazakhstani officials put the death toll at 15, but witnesses say that number is much higher.
Mr. Nazarbayev calls the rioters foreign-inspired hooligans. Some of the demonstrators in Zhanaozen say the police surrounded them in the square and opened fire.
Such violence is rare in Kazakhstan where public dissent is not tolerated and critics decry President Nazarbayev's human rights record. But Kazakhstani oil wealth has led to more stability and a higher standard of living than in other former Central Asian Soviet states. | eng | 222ad2f2-0c50-4d4a-b7d5-2ae92b465eb9 | https://blogs.voanews.com/breaking-news/2011/12/19/protesters-demand-troops-leave-embattled-kazakhstan-town/ |
FBI Warns Companies of Vishing Attacks
The FBI warned that companies and organizations are increasingly being targeted voice phishing, or "vishing," attacks.
In the January 14 Private Industry Notification (PIN), the FBI warned of an increase in the use of social engineering to target remote workers for access to company networks and data.
"[C]yber criminals collaborated to target both US-based and international-based employees' [sic] at large companies using social engineering techniques. The cyber criminals vished these employees through the use of VoIP platforms…. During the phone calls, employees were tricked into loggin into a phishing webpage in order to capture the employee's username and password… thus allowing them to gain further access into the network often causing significant financial damage," the notification stated.
While the notification stated that the issue has been under investigation by the Bureau since at least 2019, it mentions that the potential for vishing attacks has increased due to greater difficulty managing and maintaining secure access to networks in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The notification ends with a series of suggestions to mitigate the risks of vishing and social engineering on company networks, including: | eng | a4cb49de-2f86-4ccb-86be-fe3f77e5effa | https://adamlevin.com/2021/01/20/fbi-warns-companies-of-vishing-attacks/ |
The Role of TMS Therapy in Treating Substance Use Disorders

TRAINING:
I have had cattle since I was 8 years old and that's how I learned my way around the horse. My dad and my uncles are cowboys that rodeoed then moved onto stunts. They introduced me to stunts through the horse. Which has led to the other stunts like high falls, air rams, jerk vests and bullet hits. | eng | 3e4871bf-d4bb-47bb-9493-a9f291deb6e8 | https://directory.stuntsunlimited.com/print-single-profile-to-pdf/?profileID=1616 |
Nash Point, South Wales
The striking headland of Nash Point is reached via the small road from Marcross, heading towards the lighthouse. Just before you reach the lighthouse you'll find a car park, which you'll have to pay for either at the small cafe or the attendant.
From the car park it's a short, but steep, walk down to the shore where you'll find angular rock formations and the iconic yellow cliffs. At the highest tides it can be difficult to get out far enough to see the headland itself, but at low tide the sea is far away from the cliff. So, it's best to shoot around an hour before or after high tide to get both sea and headland in the frame. This means that it can be a race against time (and tide) as you will need to move quickly to catch the perfect composition. Being west-facing, the sun will set over the sea, so it can also be difficult to get it and the cliffs in the same frame. | eng | 2684e98b-1827-4676-a453-0c3e1620923b | https://www.chrisrutterphotography.com/section775492_259491.html |
What Are Silhouette Portraits Called? portraits were popularized in the mid-1700s, when French artists were commissioned to create profiles for various members of the royal family.

In Japan, for instance, Silhouettes were used until well into the 20th century to capture important events such as weddings and births. Traditional Chinese shadow puppetry also resembles Silhouette portraiture in many ways.

MS Gettin' Intune
Intune, in short, adapts premise-based software such as Forefront, malware defense software, configuration tools, Systems Center and inventory management. And you get all this for the odd price of $11 a month for each user. That works out to $132 a year -- if my high school math is correct.
For Microsoft, it is an outstanding deal. It simply loads the software in some datacenter and charges for access. But hey, if the software does the job and saves IT hassles, it's well worth it.
