I've never liked those kinds of fighting games so mortal combat is out. Golf? I don't know why such a game even exists. the last time I played a golf game was on the Apple ][. And finally hell let loose looks like just another in the endless stream of ww2 shooters, I already have enough of those in my backlog that I will probably never play either
This month just didn't appeal to ME personally. If it's a good a good month for others, hey more power to them. And please, I'm willing to bet I've bought more Playstation games than you have. Probably shouldn't make assumptions about people without really knowing them, just a thought.
How much you willing to wager, sir? I've purchased just over 20 games this month alone. Have over 830 games in my digital library 250 on my shelf and that is only the PS4. We'll skip the PS1, PS2, PS3, PSP, VITA, and PS5 just to keep it fair. Who's counting though?🤷🏾♂️
Whatever you'd like. Since the PS1 days, my collection is in the thousands, just on Playstation alone. Pissing match aside, again, you shouldn't make comments in the future where you look stupid (ex. Telling someone you don't know that they don't buy games)
Hell Let Loose looks great but it's not a casual game and a bit of a acquired taste. It's nice for people to dive in a d try it though. MKX is already on PS5 for free with the PS collection so that bad for PS5 owners and it was only two months ago everyone complained about a sports title being included as a game but yet they follow suit with another one 🤦🏻♂️
I never thought I'd see a day when people complain about what they get for free. Hey, there is another great alternative to settling for free games, BUYING what you want.
How much do you think a market leader is going to be willing to cut into their own pockets? How many games do you actually purchase or do you just wait for them to hit plus?
We actually are grown enough to know that we have to pay for greatness over here. You have an option to go to MS if you'd like as well. Otherwise, add it to your library, say thank you, and move on. How old are we here?🤔
I've been subbed to PS plus since the very day it started when all we'd get is PS1 and minis on PS3. PS Plus as a service was always about the games. Now they've made it a requirement for online play you mistakingly think these games are the bonus. They're not. We pay for access to the games via the subscription. They're not free so before running your mouth and giving it the big one, please educate yourself before calling people out.
Well sir, I too have been a PS+ member since it's inception and own well over 3,000 games on PS3, 1200 of PS4, and close to every game available on PS5. I speak from a supporting standpoint and I'm strongly against people who do more talking with their mouths than their wallets.
If you've not invested into the best experience possible, then why should your opinion be acknowledged? Plus is 70 dollars a year that equates to about $6 dollars a month....what do you expect to get, a choice?🤣
The day that beggers become choosers is the day that gaming dies. How many of the new releases have you purchased? If the answer is none, be happy with what is given. When you're playing the latest, you have little concern for the hand outs. Just a thought, champ.🤣
Personally I am looking forward to Hell Let Loose. I don't think I would have dived in with a purchase for that one, but I am dead curious to play it... I am hoping it is just the kind of MP I have been hoping for since R6S went doolally.
Hell Let Loose looks great, and it's a great choice for PS plus as the downfall of games like this on console tends to be a failure to establish a playerbase early. Tannenberg was like this; I got it and jumped in and really liked it, but it was so hard to find populated servers that I stopped trying pretty quickly. I don't really care about MKX but it's a really popular AAA game so I assume a lot of people will take advantage.
I actually like golf games but never buy them so I'll play a little . MK10 I may mess around but I don't play fighters much anymore , pretty sure I have it in library already not positive . I have zero idea what Hell Let Loose is so I'll check it out . Not a great month but it's the first year of PS5 so I don't expect much really , there has been some good offerings this year and some lesser but I do think overtime as PS5 matures we will get some great PS5 games in the future .
Calm down there slugger, you're paying a whole $6 a month let's not get carried away. It would seem that there is a volume of people vastly over valuing their contribution out here. Name 3 AAA titles you can buy monthly for $6, I'll wait.🤔🤣
Easy, because people actually spend money on the PS side of things and don't have to have their games purchased for them. How many great games are there available to purchase? You really show your level of support when you're focused on what's given for free....invest in your experience and you wouldn't care about the quality of free stuff.🤷🏾♂️ | eng | 8daab2d5-309d-4a10-a8a3-784f25d3dad3 | https://n4g.com/news/2445142/playstation-plus-games-for-october-hell-let-loose-pga-tour-2k21-mortal-kombat-x |

Dogs, But Not Pigs, Look to People for Help with a Problem
Every dog owner has probably had a situation where their dog has looked to them for help, perhaps when a coveted ball or treat has ended up out of reach under the sofa. Is this something special about dogs and their relationship with us? Research already shows that wolves (not domesticated) don't do this, and nor do cats (domesticated, but not a social species in the same way as dogs). So what about pigs?
Pigs are both domesticated and social as a species. And individual pigs are especially friendly if they have been reared just like pet dogs are. This is the case for the miniature pigs at the Family Pig Project at Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary. New research from the Department of Ethology at the university, published today in Animal Cognition, compares pigs to dogs when it comes to help-seeking behaviour.
10 juvenile pigs and 12 young dogs, all around 7 months of age, took part in the study. All of them (dogs and pigs) had been brought up in family homes from around 8 weeks old.
The scientists used something called the unsolvable task paradigm. Each animal was tested individually in the lab at the university. At first, they could see an upturned see-through plastic container with the lid not attached. Then, food was placed in the plastic container such that it was easy for them to remove the lid and get the food. But after doing this a few times, the scientists changed the set-up: now the lid was fixed in place, making getting at the food an unsolvable task.
The food used was pieces of apple or dog food for the pigs, and pieces of sausage for the dogs. Both the owner and an experimenter were present in the room during the tests.
Dr. Linda Gerencsér, research fellow in the department says,
"When the box was first in the room without food in it, pigs and dogs performed similar human-oriented behaviours, The differences appeared when we put food in the box and opening it became an exciting challenge. Pigs were faster than dogs already in solving the task and getting the reward, perhaps due to their better manipulative capacities. Then, when the task became unsolvable, dogs turned to the humans more than before. In contrast, pigs performed less human-oriented behaviours, but they were more persistent than dogs in trying to solve the task, which may reflect their predisposition to solve problems independently."
In addition, during the unsolvable part of the study, both dogs and pigs spent more time oriented to the experimenter than to their owner.
PhD student Paula Pérez says,
"The similarities that we found between the two species point to their similar capacities for engaging in communicative interactions with humans. However, species-specific predispositions might be responsible for the found differences. Dogs are naturally more dependent on and cooperative with humans. This explains their unique success in interacting with us."
There are several possible explanations, as the different anatomy of pigs, the fact that the task seems suited to their normal rooting behaviour, or differences in food motivation cannot be ruled out. There may also have been some differences in socialization, especially prior to the animals joining the project at 8 weeks. But the scientists think these results reflect the unique abilities of dogs.
Pigs are not the only farm animal to have been tested in an unsolvable task paradigm. Earlier research with goats (Nawroth et al 2016) has shown that they are sensitive to whether or not a person is looking in their direction. And in this new research, the results from both pigs and dogs are fascinating. As more people keep miniature pigs as pets, they will be interested to see future work on the unique cognitive abilities of pigs too. In the meantime, if your dog is looking at you, maybe they need help with something. | eng | 68d03259-7361-4e7e-9eb7-5a6b6e43a856 | https://avsab.org/dogs-but-not-pigs-look-to-people-for-help-with-a-problem/ |

Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a rare but debilitating condition characterized by chronic pain and sensory and motor disturbances in an extremity or body region. Its epidemiology, etiopathogenesis, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are detailed below:
Epidemiology:
Complex regional pain syndrome can affect anyone, but it is more common in women and in people between 40 and 60 years of age. Although its exact prevalence is unknown, it is estimated to affect between 5 and 26 people per 100,000 population.
Etiopathogenesis:
The exact cause of complex regional pain syndrome is not completely known, but it is believed that it may be the result of an abnormal response of the nervous system to injury or disease. Risk factors include nerve injuries, bone fractures, surgeries, infections, autoimmune diseases and certain medications.
Symptoms:
Complex regional pain syndrome is characterized by chronic, severe pain, usually in one extremity, which may be disproportionate to the original injury. Other symptoms include swelling, changes in skin temperature, sensory and motor disturbances, such as changes in sensation, mobility, sweating, and hair and nail growth. These symptoms can affect the patient's quality of life and limit his or her ability to perform daily activities.
Diagnosis:
The diagnosis of complex regional pain syndrome is based on the patient's symptoms and the exclusion of other conditions that may cause chronic pain. There is no specific test for complex regional pain syndrome. | eng | 6ea698c8-7ee6-4e3c-bab9-7a1cd904afa3 | https://www.teknon.es/en/especialidades/castro-dominguez-francisco/diseases/complex-regional-pain-syndrome |
In the lead-up to the highly anticipated clash between Australia and Fiji at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, there's been quite a buzz surrounding the Wallabies' decision to include Will Skelton as their captain, despite concerns about his calf injury. Let's dive into the details and unravel the mystery behind this selection.
First things first, Captain Skelton, a towering presence in the second row, was named as the leader of the Australian squad for the World Cup. However, just a day before the match, he was conspicuously absent from the official team photograph, raising eyebrows and generating speculation about his fitness.
According to Australia's line-out coach Dan Palmer, there are no mind games at play here. The decision to include Skelton is driven by the genuine desire to give him as much time as possible to recover from his calf injury. It's evident that Skelton's presence is pivotal to the team, and the Wallabies are ready to wait for their skipper.
But what if Skelton is unable to take the field? Palmer provided some insight into Plan B. In the absence of Skelton, hooker David Porecki will don the captain's armband, and Matt Philip will step into the second-row position. Palmer expressed confidence in Philip's abilities, referring to him as a world-class lock who can seamlessly fill Skelton's shoes if necessary.
Now, let's take a peek at Fiji's strategy. The Fijians, who lost their opening pool game to Wales, are in desperate need of a victory to stay in contention for a spot in the quarter-finals. Head coach Simon Raiwalui has made some tactical changes, including shifting Semi Radradra to the left wing to face Australia. They hope this rejigged backline, featuring power runner Josua Tuisova, will give them the edge against the Wallabies.
In summary, the inclusion of Captain Will Skelton in Australia's lineup for the clash with Fiji is not a mere mind game. It's a testament to his importance to the team, and the Wallabies are willing to wait for him to recover from injury. However, they also have a backup plan in place with David Porecki and Matt Philip ready to step up if needed. Meanwhile, Fiji is gearing up for a must-win match, hoping their tactical adjustments will lead them to victory in this crucial encounter at the Rugby World Cup.
Stay tuned for what promises to be an exciting showdown on Sunday at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard in Saint-Etienne. Rugby fans, mark your calendars!

KIBO Drawing
We have attached a pen to the back of the KIBO using 5 clothespins as depicted below, and scotched plotter paper on the floor (with a surface of approx. 2m x 2m).
And the game was on: as the KIBO turns around it center, you can decide if you want the KIBO to move in a regular way, e.g. in a square, but drawing something funny in the meantime. Or you want something regular to be drawn, e.g. a circle, while the KIBO is not really going anywhere. Or you might simply want to experiment!
A square?
A circle
Experiment!
Finally, if one is short on paper, testing the program becomes crucial (even without putting the KIBO on the floor), so the question becomes: what would be the correct movement of the wheels if program Z is written and scanned correctly? | eng | 8f4c71a0-db50-4aaf-853e-c2906b036e47 | https://kinderlabrobotics.com/resources/kibo-drawing/ |

How to prevent flu naturally
Flu can be dangerous. In the USA only, 36 000 people die and more than 200 000 are hospitalized each year because of the flu. Hopefully, we are not helpless against it.
How to prevent flu naturally?
Eat well
A well-balanced diet which provides all necessary nutritions has a big impact on building your body's immune system. Food rich in vitamin C, B, D, beta-carotene and well as zinc, iron, and copper can promote the growth of white blood cells. This can increase your body's resistance to infection. You can find them in fruits and vegetables, fish, lean meat, whole grain bread, and groats.
Diet full of good bacteria can increase vitamin and minerals absorption. Try to eat dairy products (yogurt, kefir), pickled cucumbers or cabbage once per day.
Avoid Alcohol
Alcohol has no health benefits, additionally, excess drinking can damage lymphocytes and compromise their flow. As a result, the immune system of heavy drinkers is much weaker compared to people who don't drink or drink moderately. Smoking isn't a good idea either. Tobacco damages mucous membranes of respiratory passages.
Sleep well and get some move
During the night resting accelerates regenerative processes in the body, including restoration of immune cells. It is necessary to get the right amount of sleep (7-9 hours) to fully restore your body. To get the most out of your sleep remember to ventilate the bedroom and keep the temperature no higher than 20 ° C. Also, it's not a good idea to eat a heavy dinner just before going to bed.
It is also important to exercise regularly. Moderate exercising 3 times per week for 30 minutes will help boost your immune system.
Boost your immune system, naturally.
If you are not into flu shots, you don't have time to sleep well and eat a well-balanced diet, you can consider natural supplements, like Apogen.
Apogen is not a medicine, it's a 100% natural product. Apogen's formula creates a natural "viral firewall" that many viruses can't cross. It is a natural way to boost your immune system.

Does Scotland have its own football team?
It competes in the FIFA World Cup, the UEFA Nations League, and the UEFA European Championship. Scotland, together with England, has the world's oldest national football squad, having played in the world's first international football match in 1872. They have not missed the tournament since they entered it in 1950.
Scotland is one of only eight countries that have won the World Cup. They did so in 1982 after defeating France in the final. The Scottish team was known as Scotland until 1998 when it became clear that they would be competing as an independent nation rather than as a region within Britain. Since then, they have failed to qualify for any further tournaments.
Scotland's most famous player is probably David Beckham, who came from London but grew up in Scotland. He was a superstar during the 1990s, playing for both Milan and Real Madrid.
Now he is back in England with Los Angeles Galaxy, but he does travel abroad occasionally to play games for his new club.
The biggest rivalry in Scottish football is between Glasgow's two teams - Celtic and Rangers. Both are top-flight clubs and have very passionate fans. Games between these two teams can be very intense - this is reflected by the fact that there have been several incidents of violence at soccer matches in Scotland over the years.
Is the Scottish national football team in the Olympics?
It competes in the FIFA World Cup and the UEFA European Championship, the two largest professional events. As a component country of the United Kingdom, Scotland is not a member of the International Olympic Committee, and so the national team does not compete in the Olympic Games. However, it may take part in future games as an independent nation.
The Scottish team first entered a world tournament when it took part in the 1930 World Cup in Argentina. It has since participated in every World Cup but one, and is considered one of the powerhouses of international football. In addition to its participation in each tournament, Scotland has reached the final stage on three occasions - in 1990, 2006, and 2014 - winning one medal (silver). Its record against other competing nations is excellent; only Brazil has beaten it more often than Scotland's five matches to date.
Its first game was on 16 June 1930 against Argentina at River Plate Stadium, New York. The match ended in a 1-1 draw after extra time with both goals coming from British players. Argentina won the first leg of their subsequent series 2-0 and went on to win the group.
Scotland's first World Cup match was also its first official international match. It was played on 4 July 1950 in Paris against France, who had been awarded the trophy due to World War II restrictions on soccer competition in Europe. France won the match 3-0.
Who was the first team Scotland played in the World Cup?
Scotland had the honor of beginning the tournament against the defending champions, Brazil, who had become Scotland's recurrent World Cup foe. It was possibly the most important game in Scottish football history. The stage had been set, and the entire world was watching.
How many Scottish football clubs have won the European Cup? Rangers followed this up in 1972-73, and then Dundee United became the third club from Scotland to win the trophy when they beat Hamburg 5-3 on aggregate in the final.
Celtic and Rangers continue to compete in the UEFA Champions League, with both clubs playing in the Scottish Premiership now. Dundee United were relegated to the Scottish Division 1 after just one season in the Premier League. Heart of Midlothian, who finished fourth in the SPL, was entered into a play-off round against the third-placed team from the Netherlands' Eredivisie league. However, despite winning this game 3-1 on aggregate, they were not reinstated into the top flight due to concerns over financial irregularities at the club. In addition to these five clubs, several other Scottish teams have played in European competitions over the years including Albion Rovers, Alloa Athletic, Ayr United, Brechin City, Cowdenbeath, Dunfermline Athletic, Hamilton Academical, Inverness Caledonian Thistle, Kilmarnock, Livingston, St Johnstone, St Mirren, and Ross County.
How many World Cups has Scotland won?
FIFA eight Scotland initially competed in qualification in 1950, and has subsequently appeared in eight FIFA World Cups, including an amazing run of five consecutive tournaments between 1974 and 1990. Scotland last missed the finals tournament in 1992.
Scotland has never been defeated in its group stage match at a World Cup finals tournament. It is also one of only three nations to have reached each of the last four World Cup finals (the others being Brazil and Germany).
Scotland played its first World Cup match on 16 June 1950 against France. The Scots lost 1-5 at home but came back two weeks later to win 1-4 away from home. That was enough to see off Switzerland and qualify for their next World Cup finals tournament in 1954. Since then, Scotland has always qualified for the finals tournament, except in 1958 when it failed to obtain a visa for Egypt's controversial Zaf Zaf player Ezz El Arabi.
The record books show that Scotland has achieved more than most people would expect given its small population, expensive economy and lack of world-class players. However, its failure to advance beyond the group stage at two previous World Cups - in 1930 and 1938 - means that it lacks the trophy cabinet to prove it is one of football's great powers. | eng | fa283371-0bd9-4963-bdef-13f8030c7812 | https://sportsmanist.com/does-scotland-have-its-own-football-team |
What is the principle of protein purification equipment for protein purification?
2020-08-12
Protein purification equipment Regarding protein purification, there are many types of protein extraction and preparation products, and there are great differences in properties. They are proteins of the same type. Due to the selection of building materials, the methods are not very different, and they are in different development systems. However, the basic information of the key components in most separations is still common. Most of them are proteins that are soluble in water, dilute salt, dilute acid or dilute alkali solution, and a small number of proteins combined with lipids are soluble in ethanol, butyric acid, etc. in organic solvents such as alcohols. Proteins and enzymes can be extracted, isolated and purified using a variety of different solvents. The difference in the solubility of proteins and enzymes in different solvents mainly depends on the ratio of non-polar hydrophobic groups to polar hydrophilic groups in protein molecules, and secondly depends on the arrangement and dipole moment of these functional groups.
2. Electrophoresis: The protein is charged in a solution above or below its isoelectric point, and can move to the positive or negative pole of the electric field in the electric field. According to the support, there are thin film electrophoresis, gel electrophoresis, etc.
4. Chromatography: Ion exchange chromatography, using the free nature of these proteins, at a specific pH of a certain company, the charge and properties of each protein are different, so it can be realized by studying ion information exchange chromatography technology at the same time separate. For example, in anion exchange chromatography, proteins with a small negative charge are eluted first. Molecular sieves, also known as gel filtration. Small proteins are inserted into the pores and have a long residence time, while larger proteins cannot flow in and out of the pores and straight.
5. Protein purification equipment Regarding protein purification, ultracentrifugation: it can be used to achieve separation and purification of protein, or it can be directly used to determine the molecular weight of protein. Proteins of different influences are separated by differences in density and morphological structure. | eng | 506a5ec8-2e4d-4e4b-9036-f601d393bec1 | https://en.sepuretech.com/news_1/1585141598636277760.html |

This eliminates the duplication of learning, meaning that they don't have to relearn things they already know.
A dedicated online resource for learners, businesses, and higher education institutions was launched today at This website is a jumping-off point for anyone seeking to engage with RPL as a route in to higher education and will provide businesses and enterprise with an understanding of how RPL can benefit workers.
IADT President David Smith says: "IADT has a long and proud history of welcoming and supporting students through their journey in Higher Education via Recognition of Prior Learning. The success of our many graduates across a variety of disciplines is a testament to the robustness and value of the process. IADT welcomes this national initiative to encourage learners to make the most of their experience and life skills in the attainment of both a formal qualification and the opportunities afforded through participation in Higher Education."
"Learning is a lifelong adventure that takes place in various contexts, and RPL provides an opportunity to validate and build on prior formal, informal and non-formal learning experiences", according to Rebecca Roper, Co-Ordinator of the RPL project and Head of Teaching and Learning in IADT. "This potential not only benefits individuals but also enterprise and higher education institutions alike. Incorporating RPL into present and future practice will lead to more inclusive and diverse learning communities and ultimately a more equitable society."
Claire McGee, Head of Education and Innovation Policy at Ibec agrees. "Staff hiring and retention is a huge issue for employers. In the 'war for talent', RPL can help employers to develop from within and retain employees through contributing to career progression, whilst also boosting employee motivation, confidence and self-esteem."
IADT RPL Learner Profile: Osgur Breathnach
Osgur Breathnach is a writer, creative, documentary maker and human rights activist. He is currently undertaking the MA in Screenwriting in IADT. He is a mature student and accessed the course through RPL. Osgur is currently working on an autobiographical screenplay as his major thesis, about the violation of human rights and the Sallins Inquiry.

Revision 40a09ee1
The first can be problematic if poll(2) returns POLLHUP|POLLERR on a socket. Before it would be only be respected for SOCKOP_RECV, but since they can also occur on other socket operations, esp. in combination with OpenSSL, letting the socket functions handle POLLHUP|POLLERR seems to be the right thing.
The second is a typo leading to an endless loop if the first line of an HTTP connection is empty (simply "\r\n"). Instead of removing the empty line, it would remove anything after it. | eng | 8c7ccc6a-4ed8-454f-b391-848b95cdc2bb | https://code.grnet.gr/projects/ganeti-local/repository/revisions/40a09ee128082ff0453dec0f60497187c9aeb2a7 |

I was recently doing some background reading on the history of general circulation models (GCMS) for a paper and thought I'd share two of the nice histories I found. The first is one that I've shared with many colleagues, both for information and for inspiration:
ABSTRACT: The climate system is too complex for the human brain to grasp with simple insight. No scientist managed to devise a page of equations that explained the global atmosphere's operations. With the coming of digital computers in the 1950s, a small American team set out to model the atmosphere as an array of thousands of numbers. The work spread during the 1960s as computer modelers began to make decent short-range predictions of regional weather. Modeling long-term climate change for the entire planet, however, was held back by lack of computer power, ignorance of key processes such as cloud formation, inability to calculate the crucial ocean circulation, and insufficient data on the world's actual climate. By the mid 1970s, enough had been done to overcome these deficiencies so that Syukuro Manabe could make a quite convincing calculation. He reported that the Earth's average temperature should rise a few degrees if the level of carbon dioxide gas in the atmosphere doubled. This was confirmed in the following decade by increasingly realistic models. Skeptics dismissed them all, pointing to dubious technical features and the failure of models to match some kinds of data. By the late 1990s these problems were largely resolved, and most experts found the predictions of overall global warming plausible. Yet modelers could not be sure that the real climate, with features their equations still failed to represent, would not produce some big surprise.
And here is one of my favorite passages about the birth of the enterprise:
In 1922, the British mathematician and physicist Lewis Fry Richardson published a more complete numerical system for weather prediction. His idea was to divide up a territory into a grid of cells, each with its own set of numbers describing its air pressure, temperature, and the like, as measured at a given hour. He would then solve the equations that told how air behaved (using a method that mathematicians called finite difference solutions of differential equations). He could calculate wind speed and direction, for example, from the difference in pressure between two adjacent cells. These techniques were basically what computer modelers would eventually employ. Richardson used simplified versions of Bjerknes's "primitive equations," reducing the necessary arithmetic computations to a level where working out solutions by hand seemed feasible. Even so, "the scheme is complicated," he admitted, "because the atmosphere itself is complicated."
The number of required computations was so great that Richardson scarcely hoped his idea could lead to practical weather forecasting. Even if someone assembled a "forecast-factory" employing tens of thousands of clerks with mechanical calculators, he doubted they would be able to compute weather faster than it actually happens. But if he could make a model of a typical weather pattern, it could show meteorologists how the weather worked.
So Richardson attempted to compute how the weather over Western Europe had developed during a single eight-hour period, starting with the data for a day when scientists had coordinated balloon-launchings to measure the atmosphere simultaneously at various levels. The effort cost him six weeks of pencil-work Perhaps never has such a large and significant set of calculations been carried out under more arduous conditions: a convinced pacifist, Richardson had volunteered to serve as an ambulance-driver on the Western Front. He did his arithmetic as a relief from the surroundings of battle chaos and dreadful wounds.
The work ended in complete failure. At the center of Richardson's simulacrum of Europe, the computed barometric pressure climbed far above anything ever observed in the real world. "Perhaps some day in the dim future it will be possible to advance the calculations faster than the weather advances," he wrote wistfully. "But that is a dream." Taking the warning to heart, meteorologists gave up any hope of numerical modeling.
I also found this chapter in a Google-book from a decade ago which had a very nice introduction to some of the early experiments and technical innovations. It's slightly more technical, but extremely succinct. Less history but maybe more science. | eng | 7ad35803-774f-4051-9a9f-f755786aad72 | http://www.fight-entropy.com/2011/01/histories-of-numerical-climate-models.html |

OPENING SESSION
Organised by The Clingendael Institute, The Hague
Recognizing the opportunities and disruptions that accompany the digital transformation globally, the EU and its member states and countries in Asia are increasing their engagement on a broad array of digitalization issues. The aim is to establish mutually beneficial relationships between governments, commercial and civil-society stakeholders that strenghten connectivity, interoperability and compatibility. The EU has evolved into a frontrunner of digital regulation with extraterritorial effects, while the Indo-Pacific region is home to a vibrant digital ecosystem buoyed by booming e-commerce and FinTech applications, and the largest and most rapidly growing internet user bases in the world. But what are the norms and standards underpinning the digital infrastrucures, the digital economy and cyber security?
High-level representatives of governments and financial institutions in this opening panel kick off the debate about tangible steps that may foster digital connectivity between likeminded partners from the Asia and Europe. They will set the scene for the accompanying debate on the principles, approaches and standards that should guide the digital transition. Digital connectivity is broadly defined, and includes digital infrastructure, norms and standards for trusted connectivity, digital for development, and opportunities in the digital economy. What actionable steps can help promote an open, transparent and inclusive digital domain, and vibrant and resilient digital economies that benefit people? Can digital connectivity partnerships enhance sustainable and secure digital connections that support a prosperous and resilient Indo-Pacific region and European Union? Discussions also seek to make recommendations on how best to use the ASEM and other multilateral fora to achieve these objectives | eng | 247ff1cf-f0ec-4ca4-a635-c76af9a4c2d2 | https://www.aescon.org/2022/opening-session/ |

Finding Beowulf: Is Some of the Famous Anglo-Saxon Heroic Epic Based on Truth?
Beowulf is possibly the most famous example of Anglo-Saxon literature. The heroic epic was created between the 8th-11th century and is set in Scandinavia. In the tale, Beowulf helps the king of the Danes, Hroðgar, by defeating a monstrous being called Grendel. Until Beowulf showed up, Grendel had been wreaking havoc on the mead hall and the rest of the kingdom. Just a piece of fiction? Maybe not. The 6th century dining hall at the center of this epic has been found in Denmark.
Beowulf, The Legend
In the Beowulf story, Hroðgar had a 'great and splendid hall' created to share the gifts of God. The legend says craftsmen came from distant lands to build the hall and their skilled hands completed the construction quickly. This hall was called Heorot and it was the site of grand feasts, the gifting of gold rings, and the sounds of songs and poetry around a harp. But all the merrymaking annoyed Grendel, who snuck into the hall while Hroðgar and his warriors were resting…he devoured many of them.

Veronica Parkes describes how the rest of the Beowulf story involving Grendel goes:
"As a result, Heorot is abandoned by those who are left and a call is made for aid. Beowulf answers this call and faces Grendel one on one, without any weapon. Beowulf's men come to his aid in the heat of battle, but their swords cannot pierce the monster's skin. Finally, Beowulf tears Grendel's arm from his body and the monster retreats to the marshes and it dies."
That's not even the end of it. Grendel had a mother and she sought revenge for her son's death. Beowulf tracked her down, found she took Grendel's body with her, and that her skin was also immune to his weapons. But he was able to defeat her with a sword found in her lair. The warrior decapitated Grendel's mother and Grendel, then brought the heads to Hrothgar and was presented with many gifts at Heorot.
The Real Setting of Heorot
Heorot has now been named a real location. It was discovered in the old royal capital of Denmark, Lejre, 23 miles (37 km) west of modern Copenhagen by Tom Christensen and his team. The archaeologists found, excavated, and dated the building to the late 5th or early 6th century. They also managed to name the foods that were probably consumed at the grand feasts held in Lejre's first royal hall.

By analyzing the bones of hundreds of animals discovered at the site, the researchers showed that suckling pig, beef, mutton, goat meat, venison, goose, duck, chicken, and fish were all feasted on. They also found fragments of glass drinking vessels, pottery from England and Rhineland, and 40 pieces of bronze, gold, and silver jewelry.
Reflecting on the discovery , project director Dr. Christensen, curator of Denmark's Roskilde Museum, said, "For the first time, archaeology has given us a glimpse of life in the key royal Danish site associated with the Beowulf legend."
Is There More Truth to the Beowulf Story?
The find raises the question as to how much of the Beowulf story is legend and what may be truth. Historical records also state that the grand hall was abandoned due to Grendel's attacks. If Grendel (literarily 'the destroyer') existed as a malevolent spirit causing disease and death, or was a fierce human enemy, is still unknown.
Another depiction of what Grendel may have looked like. ( Public Domain )
Riley Winters has explored this topic in a previous Ancient Origins article . She came to the conclusion that:
"Grendel is likely a version of a Scandinavian giant . While the Anglo-Saxon author—whoever he was—might have created his own version of a "monster" while placing the tale of Beowulf in Scandinavia, the numerous interactions with Viking forces in modern day England, Ireland, and Denmark make it possible that the author attempted to incorporate Scandinavian mythology in the text as well. Further, there is quite a bit of overlap between pre-Christian Anglo-Saxon gods and Norse ones."
Either way, it is exciting to think that at least some of the Beowulf story is based on real life – as shown by the identification of the story's legendary hall. | eng | 6e303b18-eef8-4557-8cda-4a7a8c46a0d8 | https://1992daily.com/finding-beowulf-is-some-of-the-famous-anglo-saxon-heroic-epic-based-on-truth-hoang/ |
SARMS, or selective androgen receptor modulators, are a class of drugs that have similar effects to anabolic steroids, but behind fewer side effects. They are becoming increasingly popular in the course of bodybuilders and athletes, as capably as those looking to tote up their innate declare or fight the effects of aging. In this article, we will cover all distinct tissues. This allows them to have thesame effects to anabolic steroids, such as increased muscle addition and strength, without the similar increase and strength, as well as a stop in body fat. Additionally, SARMS can furthermore assist include back you construct muscle and buildup your strength, which can be beneficial for bodybuilders and athletes.
Decreased body fat: SARMS can with back up you lose body fat, which can be beneficial for those looking to augment their physical gone interchange Types of SARMS
We will lead you through the swap types of SARMS genial and what you compulsion to know virtually each one.
Ostarine (MK-2866)
Ostarine, also known as MK-2866, is one of the most popular SARMS on the market. It is known for its realization to addition muscle buildup and strength, as skillfully as halt unusual popular SARM that is known for its realization to bump muscle accumulation skill to accumulation muscle deposit and strength, as without difficulty endowment to layer muscle accrual capability to growth muscle enlargement gone adequately understand their effects. One of the most important aspects of using SARMS is accord the proper dosage. In this article, we will explore the science of SARMS dosage and how much to agree to for maximum results.
The optimal dosage for SARMS can revise later than your doctor before starting any SARM cycle and to monitor your body's greeting to the supplement.
Furthermore, it's important to note that taking SARMS for a long time of mature can lead to suppression of natural testosterone production. Therefore, it's important to cycle SARMS, meaning taking them for a mature of mature and subsequently taking a break. Additionally, it's important to decide the timing of your dosage. For example, taking your dosage in the hours of daylight or past your workout can be more in force than taking it at night.
In conclusion, SARMS can be an working tool for increasing muscle mass and strength, as capably as decreasing body fat. However, it's important to understand the proper dosage for maximum results and to avoid taking too much, which can guide to side effects. It's afterward important to recall that SARMS are nevertheless considered experimental drugs and that more research is needed to adequately understand their effects. It's vital to consult with your doctor back starting any SARM cycle and to monitor your body's acceptance to the supplement. Additionally, it's necessary substitute types of SARMS to accomplish specific goals. In this article, we will consider the ultimate guide to SARMS stacks and how to maximize your results.
A SARM stack is a amalgamation of exchange SARMS taken together to attain specific goals. The most common target of a SARM stack is to lump muscle accrual like your doctor since execution to addition muscle lump and strength, even if Andarine (S4) is known for its capability to halt body fat. Combining these two SARMS can provide help them gain muscle and tally their performance. SARMS, or selective androgen receptor modulators, are a class of drugs that have similar effects to anabolic steroids, but subsequent to fewer side effects. They are becoming increasingly well-liked along with bodybuilders and athletes as a artifice to gain muscle and intensify performance. In this article, we will question the ultimate lead to using SARMS for bodybuilding and how to get muscle.
SARMS pretense by binding to androgen receptors in the body, which are found in various tissues, including muscle, bone, and fat. afterward they bind to these receptors, they mimic the effects of testosterone, the primary male sex hormone. This leads to an enlargement in muscle buildup and strength, as competently as a grow less in body fat. However, it's important to recall that SARMS are nevertheless bump muscle accrual bump attach a immersion of weightlifting, cardio, and rest. Additionally, it's indispensable to consume satisfactory protein to sustain muscle growth, as competently middle of 5-10 mg per day.
It's furthermore important to cycle SARMS, meaning taking them for a mature of mature and then taking a break. This is to minimize the suppression of natural testosterone production and to avoid any potential side effects.
In conclusion, SARMS can be an vigorous tool for increasing muscle growth and strength, as skillfully as decreasing body fat. However, it's important to remember that SARMS are not certified for human use by FDA and that more research is needed to adequately comprehend their effects. It's critical to consult behind your doctor past starting any SARM cycle, and to monitor your body's acceptance to the supplement. Additionally, it's necessary to follow a proper training and nutrition plan, comprehend the proper dosage, and cycle SARMS for bodybuilding. | eng | 918ac4e4-7bf1-4ce4-a0ed-040bd0bbb2b9 | https://repubikla.org/sarms-and-serms/ |
Troubleshooting MySQL Connection Attempts
MySQL connection issues are pretty common because of how it handles user accounts. A lot of people get used to the idea that a username is unique and represents ONE account, and they expect the same thing on MySQL.
One Username, Multiple Accounts
However, MySQL accounts are identified by a username -AND- the location that the connection is coming from. So a user account in MySQL like this:
'testuser'@'localhost'
…means "The account with the username testuser when connecting from localhost."
You might have another user account with the same username but a different host:
'testuser'@'1.2.3.4'
…which means "The account with the username testuser when connecting from the IP address 1.2.3.4."
When you try to connect to MySQL, the MySQL server will first try to find the correct user account based on the username you've provided and the location you're connecting from. If it doesn't find an account, then it'll just fail.
If it DOES find an account, then it will attempt to authenticate against that account using the password you provided.
Again, it doesn't matter that the usernames of two accounts are the same – that location part makes them COMPLETELY different. So testuser@localhost and testuser@1.2.3.4 can have different passwords and different permissions, for example.
Location Types
There are 3 types of locations that can be used in an account name:
A hostname like "foo.com" or "localhost"
An IP address like "1.2.3.4" or "127.0.0.1"
The wildcard character "%" that means "a connection from ANY location"
Now, MySQL has an order of preference. Let's say you DID have all of the above accounts and you were trying to connect to the database from the server itself, so the hostname is localhost and the IP is 127.0.0.1. So your connection attempt technically matches 3 accounts here:
'testuser'@'localhost' 'testuser'@'127.0.0.1' 'testuser'@'%'
Which one does MySQL chooose?
Order of Preference The order of preference used when checking for an account is:
IP address
Hostname
Wildcard
So MySQL will first look for:
'testuser'@'127.0.0.1'
…and if it finds an account matching that, it stops and will try to authenticate against it. If it doesn't find that account, then it will next look for:
'testuser'@'localhost'
…and if it finds an account matching that, it stops and will try to authenticate against it. If it doesn't find that account, then it will next look for:
'testuser'@'%'
…and if it finds an account matching that, it stops and will try to authenticate against it. If it doesn't find that account, then it fails.
Name Resolution
There is a small catch here. By default, MySQL will try to perform name resolution during the connection attempt. What this means is that it can already see your IP address (in the above example, IP address 127.0.0.1), but it doesn't YET know that 127.0.0.1 resolves to the hostname "localhost".
Without doing the name resolution, MySQL can only look for accounts that have the IP address or the wildcard. However, by default, it WILL attempt to do that name resolution so that it can check for user accounts with the hostname, too.
So if name resolution was turned off, then an account like testuser@localhost or testuser@foo.com would never be checked. The name resolution is controlled by a configuration setting in your my.ini (Windows) or my.cnf (Linux) file called:
skip_name_resolve
If skip_name_resolve is set to 1, then MySQL will -not- do the name resolution, so all your accounts have to be identified by either IPs or the wildcard.
If it's commented out or set to 0, then MySQL -will- do the name resolution.
Many servers turn off name resolution simply for performance and simplicity reasons.
What Do You Do?
Troubleshooting a connection attempt for someone does require you to be able to connect with an admin account, so if you can't even get to that, then you might need to talk to your server administrator about resetting the password for MySQL's root account, but that should only be a last resort if no admins at all can get in.
Now, if you're having trouble connecting to MySQL and you get this error message:
Access denied for user 'foobar'@'1.2.3.4" (using password: YES)
…then you need to log into the server as an admin and go check out the mysql.user table and pull all records where User='foobar' (or whatever username is in the message). Then check to see if skip-name-resolve is enabled (you'll use the _ instead of – in the name here):
SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'skip_name_resolve';
Based on that, check the results from the mysql.user table and figure out which user account matches the connection attempt.
If one doesn't exist, you might need to create an account. However, if one DOES exist, then you might just simply have the wrong password. | eng | 498aed31-c9c8-4698-9bda-69ffff101b28 | https://devunit.com/2023/04/26/troubleshooting-mysql-connection-attempts/ |

ASK DOCTOR YAGODA
Question: I'm a 49-year-old female, living on the Upper West Sideand I have never been put under for a surgery. Can I undergo an eye lift without anesthesia?
Answer: You can certainly have a blepharoplasty(eye lift) without general anesthesia. But, there is no need to be a martyr and reject all anesthesia! Upper eyelid surgery can be done safely and comfortably in the office operating room under topical and local anesthetic. Lower lid blepharoplastycan be done under intravenous sedation and local anesthetic. In both cases, you will be completely comfortable and feel nothing!
ASK DR. YAGODA
Question: How fast can I return to work after getting an eye lift? I'm 55, male, and my works leaves me little vacation time. Can I come in on a Friday and return to work Monday?
Answer: You can…but you may not want to! The surgery is not painful at all, but the eyelids can feel heavy for 24-72 hours after. You will feel fine, but you will have some swelling and black and blue marks. If you are not worried about anyone seeing you in this condition, you can certainly go back to work. Just make sure there is no heavy lifting, no flying, no swimming and no carrying anything more than ten pounds for ten days after the surgery. | eng | 318ce4c7-fbc8-407f-853f-93bfb25634da | https://www.dryagoda.com/category/ask-the-doctor/page/2/ |

What does Brett smell like?
More commonly known as Brett, Brettanomyces is a yeast commonly associated with red wine spoilage. It's usually pretty obvious when Brett is present, as your wine will smell of barnyard, sweat, gym socks… and those are some of the less offensive descriptors!
How would you describe bad wine?
Bad wine can be remarkably hard to describe. … For example, the winemaker may have fermented the wine a bit too long in new oak barrels—resulting in a wine whose fruit is squashed by excessive oak flavor—or tried to de-acidify a wine that seemed a little too sharp and ended up leaving it lifeless and flabby.
What is a funky Flavour?
Funky tastes would be the kind of flavor that people either love or hate, the taste equivalent of the smell of a basement.
Is Brett a wine fault?
Brett is an aroma associated to several wine regions (such as the Côtes du Rhône, some Italian wines and a few classic wineries in Napa). … This is because Brett is considered a wine fault. Large amounts of the yeast will nearly completely disguise the other flavors of the wine.
What do you call the smell which wine gives off?
As a wine ages, chemical reactions among acids, sugars, alcohols and phenolic compounds create new smells that are known as a wine's bouquet.
How do you describe good wine?
Velvety — smooth; feel in the mouth of an excellent wine that is mature, mellow, fine-textured and soft. Words are needed to describe the general character of a wine. Balanced — quality of a wine in which the sugar and acid are in harmony.
How does a good wine taste?
Good wine is usually one that has a good balance of sweet, sour, salty, and bitter elements. Tannin, as mentioned, is usually the source of bitterness in the wine. Saltiness is rare, although spicy is a common adjective for wine, believe it or not.
What is beer funky?
Earthy beers are often sour and typically described as "funky". These beers posses intense rustic qualities like earthy, grassy, barnyard, and leather notes. In the aromas, milder fruit flavours, like peaches, apricots, grapes, and strawberries can be present.
What does funky mean in slang?

Why is it so important to learn how to win others to Christ? Written by Evangelist Z.F. Shab
Why is it so important to learn how to win others to Christ?
Because of the value of a human soul. Why is the human soul of such great value? Because it will live forever.
Every person you meet has a soul that will live forever—either in the blessings of Heaven or in the miseries of hell. God values the souls of men so highly that He sent His Son to die on the cross that men might be saved. When we see how precious all men are to God, we will do all we can to win them to Christ.
In seeking to win a person to Christ you must be bold, yet you must be tactful and courteous. You must turn the conversation to spiritual matters without causing offense. Next, you must find out what a person believes about the way of salvation.
One way to do this is to ask this question: "If someone were to ask you, 'How can I become a child of God?,' what would you say?" Most unsaved people think that a person becomes a Christian by being baptized, by joining the church, or by doing good deeds.
These things are good, but they do not save anyone. The Bible says,
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9
After you have explained this, you can ask, "Would you like for me to show you from the Bible what God says about how a person is saved?" If the answer is "yes," then you can proceed with leading a person to Christ. | eng | 34ac2966-7cbb-408a-a5b1-cc4bc38a5ad0 | https://www.dailypropheticwordsofgod.com/post/copy-of-why-is-it-so-important-to-learn-how-to-win-others-to-christ-written-by-evangelist-z-f-shab |
presetWhen differentBanking today has a lot of one-click convenience, and you may hear the terms EFT and ACH used interchangeably. There is, however, a key difference between these two acronyms: ACH is one kind of EFT.
To understand this better, first know your definitions. Automated Clearing House (ACH) is a national network linking U.S. financial institutions. This electronic system allows them to debit money from one account and then credit it to another. ACH payments are one variety of EFT, or electronic funds transfer. The term EFT includes additional methods of moving money electronically, such as wire transfers.
So all ACH transactions are considered EFT, but not all EFTs are ACH.
Keep reading to learn more including:
• Which payments are considered ACH?
• What are some other EFT payment methods?
• How do EFT vs. ACH vs. wire transfers compare?
ACH Transfers
ACH stands for Automated Clearing House, a network governed by Nacha (National Automated Clearing House Association). The first ACH association appeared in 1972 in California; by 1974, multiple regional networks joined together to form Nacha, which has since overseen the ACH network nationally.
But what is ACH? Put simply, ACH is a type of electronic fund transfer (EFT) that allows individuals, corporations, and even the government to electronically move money from one bank account to another. It can be thought of as a hub that keeps funds flowing.
ACH payments work domestically; that is, among banks and credit unions within the United States. You may be able to send money via international ACH transfers, but other countries will have their own networks and governing bodies. Some countries do not have an equivalent network at all.
Funds first go to the Automated Clearing House, which then reviews the payments and releases them in batches throughout the day. For this reason, ACH transfers are not immediate. How long ACH transfers take can vary: Traditional ACH transfers can take one to two business days, but in recent years, Nacha has enabled same-day transfers for eligible transactions.
How Do ACH Transfers Work?
ACH transfers work thanks to a data file that includes information about a prospective payment. The file goes to the payor's bank to the clearing house and then on to the payee's bank, with details on the transaction. The funds get moved into the intended location, and the process is completed, transferring money from one account to another.
How Is ACH Used?
Consumers and businesses can use ACH for a variety of purposes. For example, employers often use the ACH network for direct deposit. This enables them to deposit paychecks directly into employees' bank accounts. When an entity, like an employer or the government, initiates the ACH process to send funds, this is classified as an ACH credit.
Individuals can provide bank account information to businesses, such as mortgage lenders and utility companies, to enable ACH debit transactions as part of their electronic banking. This means those companies are able to directly debit funds from the individual account using ACH as a form of electronic bill payment. Businesses and individuals may utilize ACH debit for autopay (recurring payments) or for one-time payments.
Even peer-to-peer (P2P) payment methods like PayPal and Venmo can utilize the Automated Clearing House network for electronic transfers. (When such services offer instant payments, they may charge a fee and use your credit card instead, so proceed carefully in these situations.)
Typically, the employer or merchant enabling ACH payments is the one to pay ACH fees.
What Is EFT?
Electronic fund transfers (EFTs) refer to a much broader range of electronic payments. ACH is a type of EFT, but EFT can also include payments like wire transfers, debit card payments, credit card payments, local bank transfers, instant P2P payments, and even ATM transfers. Electronic fund transfers can be domestic or international in scope.
The Consumer Finance Protection Bureau refers to electronic fund transfers as "any transfer of funds that is initiated through an electronic terminal, telephone, computer, or magnetic tape."
Note: Another common term in finance is ETF (exchange-traded fund). The acronyms are similar, so it's important to recognize that an ETF is an investment security, not a payment method.
How Do EFT Payments Work?
EFT payments may use the ACH network, or they may not. An example of a transaction that doesn't use ACH is tapping or swiping your debit card to make a payment. It's an instantaneous transfer of funds, without banking information being exchanged. The money is moved from your account to the store's without any verification other than your PIN.

Types of EFT Payments
EFT payment is a broad category, including common transfers like ACH and wire transfers. Here is just a short list of payment methods that can be classified as EFT:
• ACH transfers
• Wire transfers
• Peer-to-peer payments (often done through ACH)
• Debit card transactions (in person or online)
• Credit card transactions (in person or online)
• ATM transfers
• E-checks
• Telephone orders
Do EFT Payments Have Fees?
Typically, a merchant will pay a small percentage of a transaction's amount for the privilege of using an EFT method. In some situations, you, the consumer, may be assessed a fee for using these methods. For instance, some merchants may add a surcharge for credit card vs. cash or debit card payments. Or if you pay by phone, there may be a surcharge. You should be alerted to these add-on costs, however, in advance, so you can decide if you want to proceed or not.
What Is the Difference Between ACH and EFT?
We've established that the key difference between ACH and EFT is that an ACH is a type of EFT. This table further breaks down the distinction:
ACH
EFT
Availability
Traditional ACH is available domestically (in the U.S.).
Various types of EFTs can be used internationally.
Security
Transfers pass through the ACH, which provides an added level of security over paper checks and debit card transactions.
While ACH and wire transfers are less prone to fraud, other forms of EFTs (like debit and credit cards) can be susceptible.
Speed
Can be same-day but never instant; may take multiple days.
Can be instant.
ACH vs EFT vs Wire Transfers
When banking, you're likely to hear about different ways to move money, including ACH, EFT, and wire transfers. Here's a closer look: ACH is a type of EFT, but another common type of EFT is a wire transfer, which can be used to send money to someone's bank account.
Wires can be both domestic and international and often have a fee for both the sender and the receiver, depending on the banks or transfer service agencies (like Western Union) involved. Wire transfers allow you to make an electronic payment "by wire," such as through SWIFT, the Clearing House Interbank Payments System, or the Federal Reserve Wire Network. Wire transfers can take up to two days to fully process; international ones might take longer.
Should You Use Electronic Transfers?
Electronic transfers are common in modern banking. It is likely that you already utilize some form of electronic transfer, whether you receive a direct deposit from your employer like 96% of American workers, have your utility bills on autopay, pay for groceries with a debit card, or use peer-to-peer transfer apps to split the dinner bill or pay a friend for concert tickets. When you buy a house, the mortgage company may even ask you to wire funds in time for the closing.
The Takeaway
Automated clearing house (ACH) transfers are a type of electronic funds transfer (EFT), which allows for the direct debiting and crediting of funds from one bank account to another. Common examples of ACH include direct deposit from an employer into your bank account or an automatic bill payment debited from your account.
ACH is only one type of EFT, however; other types include wire transfers and debit and credit card payments, among others. These kinds of payments are commonly used today to keep funds flowing quickly and securely and play an important role in your banking lifeIs EFT the same as direct deposit?
EFT stands for electronic funds transfer. Direct deposit is one example of EFT.
Is ACH a wire transfer?
While ACH and wire transfers are similar transactions, they operate on different timelines and according to different rules. Wire transfers (especially domestic ones) can occur almost immediately, while ACH transactions can take a couple or a few business days.
What is the difference between ACH and autopay?
ACH is a method for electronically transferring funds between accounts. Autopay involves your setting up recurring payments of bills with a vendor. It typically uses the ACH network to complete those transactions.
Is ACH the same as direct deposit?
Direct deposit is one kind of ACH payment, but other kinds of ACH transactions are possible as well.
What is the best EFT payment method?
The best EFT method will depend upon various factors, such as timing and the technology you can most easily access or are most comfortable usingBy Rebecca Lake |

Comments Off on Which Entries on a Credit Report Will Decrease Your Credit Score?
Credit scores are a measure of your overall financial health and how responsibly you manage debt. If you're curious about which entries on a credit report will decrease your credit score, the biggest culprits are late payments, missed payments, collection accounts, foreclosure proceedings, and bankruptcy filings.
Are those the only things that can negatively impact your credit scores? Not necessarily. Can you do anything about entries on your credit that decrease your score? Perhaps, if you're able to dispute them. Filing a credit report dispute may help to add points back to your score.
Credit Report Basics
A credit report dispute allows you to challenge information that you believe is inaccurate. If you'd like to initiate a dispute, you'll first need to know how to read a credit report.
Credit reports include four categories of information:
• Personal information. This section of your credit report includes your name and any other names that you're known by, your date of birth, Social Security number, addresses you've lived at, and employment history. Your personal information does not affect your credit scores in any way.
• Credit accounts. Information about your credit accounts is used to calculate your credit scores. Here, the most relevant details include what types of credit you're using, when your accounts were opened, your available credit limit and current balance, the monthly minimum payment, and your payment history.
• Credit inquiries. A credit inquiry can show up on your credit reports when you apply for a loan or line of credit if it's a "hard" credit pull. The difference between a soft credit inquiry vs. hard credit inquiry is that hard inquiries can affect your credit scores, while soft inquiries do not.
• Public records. Information that's included in the public record about your credit accounts goes here. The types of things that can be listed include collection accounts, judgments from creditor lawsuits, and bankruptcy filings.
There are three major credit bureaus that compile credit reports: Equifax®, Experian®, and TransUnion®. Thus, you can have multiple credit reports. A tri-merge credit report compiles information from all three bureaus into a single report. As far as which credit bureau is used most, there's no single answer as it depends on the lenderWhen Can I Dispute Credit Report Information?
Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), you have the right to dispute inaccuracies on your credit reports with the credit bureau that's reporting the information. You can file a dispute at any time.
Examples of errors you can dispute include:
• Credit accounts listed that don't belong to you
• Inaccurate payment history or balances
• Current accounts that are erroneously reported as past due
• Duplicated entries for the same account
Why would someone want to dispute a credit report? In short, doing so can help your credit score if you're able to get inaccurate information corrected or removed.
Information from your credit reports is used to calculate your credit scores. FICO® scores are the most widely used credit scoring model. Simply put, it's a three-digit credit score ranging from 300 to 850 that reflects your credit health. The higher your score, the less risky you appear to lenders.
A middling or "fair" credit score is anything between 580 and 669. Fair credit can get you approved for loans, but you'll need a good to excellent score to qualify for the lowest interest rates.
Does Filing a Dispute Hurt Your Credit?
Disputing credit reporting errors won't hurt your credit. Depending on the outcome of the dispute, it could even help your score. During the dispute process, the credit bureau is legally required to investigate your claim to determine if your reason for the dispute is valid.
Keep in mind that disputing credit report errors isn't necessarily an instant fix for bad credit. If you have multiple negative items on your report, then getting just one of them corrected or removed may do little to improve your score. Disputing information could hurt your credit if a correction negatively affects your credit file.
It's also important to know that disputing credit report information doesn't guarantee its removal or correction. If there's negative information on your credit reports but it's accurate, you can't dispute it. The upside is that most negative information falls off your reports after seven years, though it can take up to 10 years for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing to disappear.
💡 Quick Tip: An easy way to build your credit score? Pay your bills on time. Setting up autopay can help you keep your account in good standing.
Possible Outcomes of Disputes
When you file a credit report dispute, the credit bureau has 30 days to investigate it. That involves reaching out to the business that reported the information initially to confirm whether it's correct. The business must review your account history and report back to the credit bureau that's handling the dispute.
There are several ways your dispute might be resolved.
• Scenario #1: Your dispute is deemed to be frivolous by the credit bureau. The investigation will stop and you'll be notified as to why. You may be given an opportunity to provide additional information to support your claim.
• Scenario #2: The business that reported the information acknowledges an error. It must send written notice to all three credit bureaus to have the information corrected. The credit bureau must send a correction notice to anyone who received your credit report in the previous six months. Notices must also be sent to anyone who ran a credit check for employment for you in the past two years.
• Scenario #3: The business verifies that the information is accurate. No change is made to your credit report.
When your dispute is upheld, the credit bureau must correct or remove the inaccurate information. If a dispute is not resolved in your favor, you can ask the credit bureau to include a statement of the claim in your credit file. You can also ask the credit bureau to send a copy of the dispute statement to anyone who's received your credit report but you might pay a fee for that.
Note that you can also add or update personal information to your credit file. For instance, you might choose to add a recent address or a job to your employment history. Changes to personal information won't affect your credit scores.
Disputes Related to Accounts, Inquiries, and Bankruptcy
Disputes involving credit accounts, inquiries for credit, and bankruptcy cases can have the same outcomes as described above. Depending on what the investigation finds, your account may be:
• Updated to reflect accurate information
• Deleted entirely from your credit report
• Unchanged, if the information is deemed correct
The outcome can determine what changes you might expect, if any, to your credit score. Having negative information corrected or removed can help your score, though the extent of the improvement depends on whether you have other negative items on your report.
If you're interested in how to find out your credit score free, there are a few ways to do it. First, you might be able to get your credit score for free from one of your credit card companies. Many issuers offer free FICO scores as a cardmember benefit.
Signing up for free credit score monitoring is another option. In terms of what qualifies as credit monitoring, it generally refers to any service that automatically tracks changes to your credit reports that affect your credit scores. For example, that might include opening or closing credit accounts, late or missed payments, or paid-off accounts.
How Long Will Information Stay on My Credit Report?
Generally, negative information can stay on your credit report for seven years. That includes things like:
• Late payments
• Missed payments
• Charge-offs
• Collection accounts
• Creditor judgments
• Foreclosure proceedings
As mentioned, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing can stay on your credit report for up to 10 years. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy can linger for up to seven years. As long as information on your report is accurate, it can't be removed prematurely, even if that information is negative. Once the time is up for reporting of a negative item, it will fall off naturally; you shouldn't have to request its removal.
Credit inquiries can stick around for 24 months, while positive information about your credit accounts can remain indefinitely. If you close any credit accounts in good standing, they can stay on your credit reports for up to 10 years.
What Are Some Ways to Avoid a Credit Score Drop?
Practicing good financial habits is the easiest way to avoid a credit score drop. You can do that by:
Reviewing your credit reports regularly for errors or inaccuracies is another way to prevent credit score hits. You can dispute those errors to have them removed or corrected, which can help your score recover if it's dropped temporarily.
How to Dispute Accurate Information in Your Credit Report
Accurate information on a credit report usually isn't up for dispute, unless the same account is being reported multiple times. In that case, you dispute the "extra" entries on your report to have them removed.
If there's negative but accurate information on your credit report, then you might try writing a goodwill letter to the creditor asking them to remove it. However, they have no obligation to honor your request. If the account is past due and they've been trying to collect what's owed, they may also ask you to pay before they delete the item.
Credit repair companies charge you to remove negative items from your report. However, the tactics they use are ones that are already available to you, including disputing negative information, goodwill letters, and paying for deletion. It's important to weigh whether paying a fee to repair credit is worth it, especially if the company's promises seem too good to be true.
The Takeaway
Keeping up with credit scores is important if you plan to borrow money. The better your score, the easier it is to get approved for loans and qualify for the lowest rates Insights helps you get your money right.
FAQ
What factor causes your credit score to decrease the most?
Negative payment history has the biggest impact on credit scoring under the FICO model. Late payments, missed payments, charge-offs, collections, foreclosure proceedings, and bankruptcies can all hurt your credit score more so than things like new credit inquiries or closing credit accounts.
What are negative entries on a credit report?
A negative entry on a credit report is anything that's harmful to your credit score. That can include late payments, missed payments, collection accounts, and judgments. A high credit utilization ratio can also negatively affect your credit scores.
What are 3 ways to decrease your credit score?
Three things that can hurt your credit score are paying late, not paying at all, and running up high balances on credit cards relative to your credit limits. Letting accounts slip into collections, being sued by creditors for debt, and filing bankruptcy can also cost you major credit score points.

There is bare minimum on this request, but im presuming it means that you can drag and drop a pdf file (with comments) onto the import panel in INDD. if that is the case then YES! count me in. that would be awesome.

I have had a similar issue with mapping of markup. As you can see in the attachment the cursor is in the correct place on the pdf but when imported it shifts over 1 character.

This is another recipe from Of Blood and Bones by Kate Freuler. It is not used to magically mürder your enemies, so much as for banishing / cursing / endings. It is meant to be used to symbolically kill something. I have not made it.
Dead insects
Animal bones
Graveyard dirt OR Fallow dirt
Dead leaves / plants / sticks
An object used to kill something
I would add fallen and dried pine needles / yew leaves collected on a dark moon. And maybe deadly nightshade, poison hemlock, or black henbane oil. Or all three.
This could be used as a heavy-duty cord-cutting oil. I'd let it gestate from one dark moon to the next, in the hour of Saturn or the Moon.
I don't have an object used to kill something. If I get one later, I'll add it inIt's uncomfortable for sure. He was like, oh you need something for a death oil? Would this help? And whips out a dead mouse baby he told me killed by putting it on ice after cutting it out of its mother. For science. He's a gentle and loving person.
apparently my fiance had to kill a baby mouse after dissecting the mom in a bio course and pulling it out of her tummy () and still has it preserved in ethanol. I'll add a few drops of the ethanolAt least with mercy killing It's a better end then it could have had if he hadn't mercy killed it.
From what I've learned (from animal documentaries, vet shows and reading), it's nearly impossible to nurse baby mice by hand and they often die from the consequences of people trying to nurse them.
If you ask details I'll tell what I learned about it (it might be better for your emotions if you don't learn it) but if you don't ask let it suffice to say it was mercy and trying to keep it alive it probably would have died anyway and died in a worse manner then your bf used to free it's spirit.
Edit add: just noticed my reply is a bit late but it still that it was probably better off being mercy killedI've mercy killed animals before and would've done it to that poor mouse for this same reason. I still remember them and this was because it was out of mercyLol, I'm gonna use my own hands cause when I was 7yo I used to kill pigeons (I'm incredibly sorry for that) | eng | 585f6379-41cf-4872-b85c-1b654725aae9 | https://forum.theoccultmirror.net/t/death-oil-banishing-cursing-cord-cutting-curse-breaking/484 |
Frasier Farms
I think historically a person would be hard pressed to say that the drought we've been in recently is any more severe than what my father experienced in the 1950's or my grandfather in the '30's. When you look directly at any one aspect of weather – variability, precipitation, temperature, length of growing season – those are always in flux. In the environment where we live, 40 degree fluctuations in temperature are not uncommon any time of the year. Our precipitation comes in concentrated periods of time and it's not necessarily predictable. There is an inherent unpredictability about our environment.
Frasier Farms is a family owned and operated ranch that spreads across 44,000 acres of rolling native shortgrass prairie in Eastern Colorado, where the land is dry and the wind is almost always blowing. Brothers Mark, Joe, and Chris Frasier manage the ranch in two divisions, one near Limon and the other near Woodrow. Frasier Farms produces cattle with an 800 head cow-calf and stocker operations and offer hunting leases and custom grazing. The rolling hills of native grasses such as blue gramma and buffalo grass are managed using planned grazing practices that improve soil health and the health of the grassland, recycle nutrients and enhance biodiversity on the ranch.
Mark Frasier has managed the Woodrow division of Frasier Farms for more than thirty years. In addition to the calves produced on the ranch each spring and fall, Mark buys stocker cattle each spring to run about 5,000 head when fully stocked. The cattle are split into three large herds and moved through 125 pastures on the 29,000-acre ranch, leaving 90 percent of the ranch free of cattle at any one time. Cattle produced on the ranch are marketed to feedlots through value-added natural beef and source-verified programs. Mark also sells into higher value markets by planning production to catch seasonal high prices and retaining ownership of a portion of the cattle sent to feedlots.
Mark says that year-to-year variability in seasonal weather patterns, dry periods, drought and winds are the most significant long-term challenges to dryland ranching on the eastern Colorado plains. Particularly critical is the timing and type of precipitation through the year, because grassland response to weather conditions changes throughout the growing season. Mark explains, "Let's put it this way: A two-inch rain in September doesn't have near the value of two inches of rain in April or May. We just get a lot more bang from an earlier precipitation event. Spring rainfall tends to be a drizzling, all-day sort of affair in the best case. When we have the same amount of precipitation in the late summer months, it's more likely to come in an afternoon thunderstorm, so it is not as effective in terms of capturing that moisture into the soil because there is more runoff." Wind can also present some challenges to cattle management. "On the plains, especially in the spring," says Mark, "we can have some very strong winds and we can have winds in the summer as well. If it's hot, those summer winds can just whip moisture out of the soil and have a very great drying effect on the plants and the soil."
Weather variability and extremes have always been a part of life in the Great Plains region, and Mark doesn't perceive that there has been any change in these challenges in his lifetime. "Our operation is entirely native forages," says Mark, "and the production that we get from that varies year by year per the growing condition that we experience. It has everything to do with temperature and the amount and timing of precipitation. In terms of first day frost, in terms of wind, in terms of how long the grass stays green, all those kinds of things vary year by year. No two years are the same and they never have been. So that's really one of our challenges is trying to manage in a highly variable environment. We develop a plan but that plan has to have significant contingencies in it because the conditions will always change."
Mark goes on to explain that the natural environment in eastern Colorado is well adapted to the weather variability and extremes typical of the region. "For example, the grasses are extremely opportunistic," Mark says. "They don't have a narrow window within which they need to grow or to put out seed or perform some other function. They will stay in near dormancy until conditions are just right and then they'll just explode and we'll have a significant amount of growth in a very few days. Plants have evolved in the sense that they are adapted to an environment that is unpredictable. Our environment is not ungenerous, but the plant has to be ready to grow when the conditions are right."
This same kind of preparedness to take advantage of opportunity when it comes is a central feature of Frasier Farms management. "Personally, I don't understand when people complain about not getting rain and then when it does rain oh, now it's too muddy," says Mark. "We constantly prepare for the next rain, because, generally speaking, our most limiting factor is soil moisture. If in everything that we do, we can create an environment that is receptive to precipitation, so that whenever it does come we can take advantage of it, we will just be that much more efficient and more effective. It's an attitude or a philosophy that's grown over time. It is something a person experiences in the sense that, after you're unprepared a time or two, you begin to think ahead a bit more. So it's just a function of maturing and management, I think, as much as anything else."
Mark draws on many resources to enhance the capacity of Frasier Farms to weather variability and extremes, but the use of adaptive management strategies have proven key to his success. He explains, "I look at that key word, variability. You've got to have adaptive management to respond, both in terms of knowing how to respond, but also anticipating what a change will bring. Oftentimes making a timely decision is key, either in a cost-saving sense or in a sense of conservation of natural resources."
Managing both a cow/calf herd and a stocker operation gives Mark the flexibility he needs to respond to changing weather conditions. "We have the two components." he explains. "The cowherd is actually a smaller piece of what we do. We're bringing in most of the livestock on the ranch. If conditions are not favorable for the growth of grass, we don't bring as many cattle to the ranch or we can destock early or in some other way change the number of cattle on the ranch. That's our control valve. We have certain performance expectations for the cattle. If conditions are not good, then we don't meet those expectations, and on the flip side, if conditions are very good, we exceed them. It's not a doomsday situation for us to pull the cattle from the grass because they're destined for a feed yard anyway so the fact that they may be going to the feed yard forty-five days earlier than normal or weighing fifty or a hundred pounds less than what we expected is not good, but it's not a complete disaster."
Mark also uses some other tools to reduce weather-related production risk. He finds that long-term weather forecasts — one or two months ahead — can be helpful when making stocking decisions if conditions are dry. He is also trying out a new type of federally subsidized insurance that insures the livestock producers against a large deviation from normal precipitation. This "rainfall insurance" is a pilot program of the USDA Risk Management Agency and at present is only available in a few locations.
Thinking about the future, Mark is fairly confident that he has the resources needed to keep Frasier Farms healthy, productive and profitable despite weather variability and extremes, although his confidence is related to the particular situation, as he explains. "I'd say it is really situational. It depends on what the extreme is and when and how it presents itself. There are times when I feel very compromised just because there's not much I can do at the moment. And there are other times that situations unfold more slowly and if you have the capacity to understand what's happening, you can modify the resources you have or take advantage of opportunities to mitigate risks." He feels fortunate to have had the opportunity to learn how to successfully manage grasslands and cattle in the more variable climate of the Great Plains. "I've seen extremes in almost every sense and so I know what comes next. I know what the end result is likely to be. I have been through it and I am prepared to deal with it. Although no one likes to be in that position, I'd say I'm comfortable with it."
Mark is active in the civil life of his community and has provided leadership over the years to a number of community-based and agricultural organizations. He consults with other ranchers on holistic range management and is a regular speaker at agricultural events. Mark currently serves as the president of the Colorado Livestock Association. In 2003, Frasier Farms received the National Cattlemen's Beef Association Regional Environmental Stewardship Award, which recognizes the outstanding stewardship practices and conservation achievements of cattle producers across the United States.

Since lakes cover 3.7% of the earth's non-glaciated land area, it's only logical to wonder which ones make it at the top of the list. Take a wild guess before scrolling down to the largest lakes in the United States. | eng | 0a8b172d-5766-4f34-bdf8-6a6db0faa5fd | https://flipboard.com/@boutiqueadv/largest-lakes-in-the-united-states-opqisobtr8qh1tdm |
Abstract
A meshless method based on the local Petrov-Galerkin approach is proposed, to solve static and dynamic problems of two-layered magnetoelectroelastic composites with specific properties. One layer has pure piezoelectric properties and the second one is a pure piezomagnetic material. It is shown that the electric potential in the piezoelectric layer is induced by the magnetic potential in the piezomagnetic layer. The magnetoelectric effect is dependent on the ratio of the layer thicknesses. Functionally graded material properties of the piezoelectric layer and homogeneous properties of the piezomagnetic layer are considered too. The magnetoelectric composites are analyzed under a pure magnetic or combined magneto-mechanical load. Various boundary conditions and geometric parameters are considered to analyze their influence on the value of the electromagnetic parameter. | eng | d8b174e2-ecad-4cce-b156-97587b3a5e7d | https://techscience.com/cmc/v29n1/27872 |

CCNA Final Exam 4 functionality do access control lists provide in the implementation of dynamic NAT on a Cisco router?
A. 
Define which addresses can be translated
B. 
Define which addresses are assigned to a NAT pool
C. 
Define which addresses are allowed out the router
D. 
Define which addresses can be accessed from the inside network
Correct Answer A. Define which addresses can be translated
Explanation Access control lists (ACLs) provide the functionality to define which addresses can be translated in the implementation of dynamic NAT on a Cisco router. ACLs allow network administrators to specify the specific addresses or range of addresses that are eligible for translation. By configuring ACLs, administrators can control which addresses are allowed to undergo NAT and which addresses are not. This helps in managing and controlling the translation process and ensures that only authorized addresses are translated.

Refer to the exhibit. Every time the administrator reboots this router, the boot process ends in setup mode. What is a possible problem?
A. 
There is insufficient RAM for the IOS to load on this router.
B. 
A password recovery process should be done on this router.
C. 
The bootstrap version and the version of the IOS are different.
D. 
The IOS image is damaged and must be reloaded using tftpdnld.
E. 
The configuration register is set to ignore the startup configuration.
Correct Answer E. The configuration register is set to ignore the startup configuration.
Explanation The possible problem is that the configuration register is set to ignore the startup configuration. This means that when the router reboots, it is not loading the configuration file that is stored in the startup configuration. Instead, it is going into setup mode, which is the default mode when no configuration file is found. To fix this issue, the administrator needs to change the configuration register to load the startup configuration.

Refer to the exhibit. Which statement correctly describes how Router1 processes an FTP request that enters interface s0/0/0 and is destined for an FTP server at IP address 192.168.1.5?
A. 
The router matches the incoming packet to the statement that was created by the access-list 201 deny icmp 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 any command, continues comparing the packet to the remaining statements in ACL 201 to ensure that no subsequent statements allow FTP, and then the router drops the packet.
B. 
The router reaches the end of ACL 101 without matching a condition and drops the packet because there is no statement that was created by the access-list 101 permit ip any any command.
C. 
The router matches the incoming packet to the statement that was created by the access-list 101 permit ip any 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 command and allows the packet into the router.
D. 
It matches the incoming packet to the statement that was created by the access-list 201 permit ip any any command and allows the packet into the router.
Correct Answer C. The router matches the incoming packet to the statement that was created by the access-list 101 permit ip any 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 command and allows the packet into the router.
Explanation The correct answer is that the router matches the incoming packet to the statement that was created by the access-list 101 permit ip any 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255 command and allows the packet into the router. This means that the router has a specific rule in its access control list (ACL) that permits any IP address to access the FTP server at IP address 192.168.1.5.

. A network administrator has changed the VLAN configurations on his network switches over the past weekend. How can the administrator determine if the additions and changes improved performance and availability on the company intranet?
A. 
Conduct a performance test and compare with the baseline that was established previously
B. 
Interview departmental secretaries and determine if they think load time for web pages has improved.
C. 
Determine performance on the intranet by monitoring load times of company web pages from remote sites
D. 
Compare the hit counts on the company web server for the current week to the values that were recorded in previous weeks.
Correct Answer A. Conduct a performance test and compare with the baseline that was established previously
Explanation To determine if the VLAN configurations have improved performance and availability on the company intranet, the network administrator should conduct a performance test and compare it with the previously established baseline. This will provide objective data on the network's performance before and after the changes. By comparing the results, the administrator can identify any improvements or issues that may have occurred due to the VLAN configurations. This method allows for a quantitative analysis of the network's performance and provides a more accurate assessment than subjective opinions or anecdotal evidence.

Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator is trying to connect R1 remotely to make configuration changes. Based on the exhibited command output, what will be the result when attempting to connect to R1?
A. 
Failure to connect due to Telnet not being enabled
B. 
Failure to connect due to incomplete configuration for Telnet
C. 
A successful connection and ability to make configuration changes
D. 
A successful connection but inability to make configuration changes because of the absence of an enable secret password
Correct Answer C. A successful connection and ability to make configuration changes
Explanation The exhibited command output shows that the Telnet line is configured with "Transport input all", which means that all transport protocols (including Telnet) are allowed for incoming connections. Therefore, there will be a successful connection to R1. Additionally, there is no mention of an incomplete configuration or the absence of an enable secret password, so the ability to make configuration changes should not be affected.

The configuration of the network has changed recently. To identify the problem, individuals from both teams responsible for the recent changes begin to investigate the source of the problem. Which statement applies to this situation?
A. 
Scheduling will be easy if the network and software teams work independently
B. 
It will be difficult to isolate the problem if two teams are implementing changes independently
C. 
Results from changes will be easier to reconcile and document if each team works in isolation.
D. 
Only results from the software package should be tested as the network is designed to accommodate the proposed software platform.
Correct Answer B. It will be difficult to isolate the problem if two teams are implementing changes independently
Explanation In this situation, the issue of response time has arisen on the application server after both the software package and network configuration have been changed. To identify the problem, individuals from both teams responsible for the changes need to investigate the source. If the teams work independently and implement changes separately, it will be difficult to isolate the problem. This is because the changes made by both teams could potentially interact with each other and cause the response time issue. Therefore, collaboration and coordination between the software and network teams are necessary to effectively identify and resolve the problem.

A. 
There is a Layer 2 loop
B. 
The VTP domain names do not match.
C. 
Only one switch can be in server mode.
D. 
S2 has a higher spanning-tree priority for VLAN 11 than S1 does.
Correct Answer B. The VTP domain names do not match.
Explanation The VTP domain names do not match. VTP (VLAN Trunking Protocol) is used to synchronize VLAN information across switches in a network. In this case, the VTP domain name on S2 is different from the VTP domain name on S1. Since the domain names do not match, VLAN 11 that was created on S1 is not being propagated to S2.

How The Stock Market Affects MLK Day
7 min read
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a U.S. federal holiday that commemorates the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr., the leader of the American civil rights movement who fought for racial and economic justice in the United States. This day celebrates his life's work and accomplishments, recognizing not only his leadership but also the importance of carrying on his legacy today.
MLK Day first became a national observance in 1986 and was officially designated as an annual federal holiday in 1994. It is observed on the third Monday of each January, usually close to Dr. King's actual birthday – January 15th – taking place from 2021 through 2025 on:
January 18th, 2021
January 17th, 2022
January 16th, 2023
January 15th, 2024
Januay 20th 2025
As this occasion continues to garner accolades every year, perhaps its significance can be measured in part by how traders react to this day when markets open again after a long weekend closed for observance – one thing they can count on is significantly less volume when markets open up again after MLK day closes out trading sessions that Monday night or early Tuesday morning (depending on which coast you are talking about), and accordingly price movements – due to supply/demand happenings – will often reflect thin and thinning trading numbers until heavier volumes retake control after market resets following MLK Day's closure within that minutes typical during normal market hours' occurrences for regular trading sessions throughout most weekdays across America each year excepting holidays (National & State ordained).
All in all what almost always happens when stock exchanges come back online following MLK day: much like economies throughout a given nation or even global economies – more often than not – prices will remain steady without any real hikes or dips since few people trade stocks over such days while some instruments/assets see unusually high volumes as investors try to get back on track afterwards as this holiday justifiably deserves meaningful recognition each year due to its importance going forward towards future progress socially long-term yet even still economically reestablishing itself across many stock industries worldwide who favor Dr. King's dream-filled legacy perpetually known today & hereafter though we break forth anew with hope more so everyday during MLK day!
Are stock markets open mlk day
Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is a federal holiday in the United States that celebrates the life and legacy of the civil rights leader. It also falls on the third Monday of January, which often leads to people wondering if the stock markets will be open on MLK day. In this article, we'll take a look at the impact of the stock market on MLK day and what might happen if markets are open.
Stock Market Closures on MLK Day
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is celebrated as a federal holiday on the third Monday of each January, in honor of the civil rights icon and Nobel Peace Prize winner. This important day also has an impact on one major part of the economy – the stock market. Though some day traders may still participate in stock market transactions, there are specific markets that are closed on MLK Day due to legal regulations, including both NASDAQ and NYSE.
This closure can have several effects on both the US economy and individual investors who rely on updating their portfolios regularly. For example, traders that take advantage of high frequency trading opportunities may have fewer chances to participate during this time period due to delays or longer wait times in order to complete their transactions. Additionally, investors must pay close attention to when corporate earnings are announced as these often occur right around MLK Day since it is a non-trading holiday. As a result, they must be prepared if they plan to adjust their investments accordingly in response to any sudden news developments.
The securities markets' closure also has implications for certain municipal governments that use this day as an opportunity to conduct bond offerings or float new debt securities for infrastructure projects and other needs within their community. As a federally recognized holiday that almost all municipalities observe, MLK Day provides ample time for such activities as no one will be working at the exchanges during this period due to the nationwide closures in effect for this day each year.
Stock Market Openings on MLK Day
The Sunday before Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a popular weekend for day trips, BBQs and general relaxing, however, one area of life that remains consistent during MLK Day (and other federal holidays) is the stock market. Knowing whether or not the stock market is opened or closed on such days will give you a better understanding of how the holiday affects your finances.
One important thing to note is that while trading on the major exchanges (such as the NYSE and NASDAQ) are closed on MLK Day, there are still some exchanges open throughout the world. These include global markets like Bloomberg and Tokyo Stock Exchange, as well as some alternative platforms including 3-letter stock codes (such as OTCBB) where after-hours trading can occur.
While trading isn't normally conducted at these exchanges during U.S.-based holidays like MLK Day, international traders may still continue to buy and sell securities around the globe––albeit more slowly than usual due to reduced liquidity in specific markets. Additionally, it should be noted that if a particular sector is issued with a Direct Market Access (DMA) order before 4 p.m., then this could affect global market activity until 12 p.m UTC/GMT+1 on MLK Day––with varying results across multiple sectors depending on volatility within each respective market.
In summary, while trading within U.S.-based stocks and options remains closed for Martin Luther King Jr., certain exchanges will still be open around the world with limited activity––presenting traders with unique opportunities for clever investments in various sectors if they choose to participate in such activities across different global markets during this time frame.
Investing Opportunities on MLK Day
Martin Luther King Day (MLK Day) is a U.S. holiday observed on the third Monday in January, to honor the life and accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
For investors, MLK Day can offer some interesting investing opportunities as the stock markets are often open on this day. In this article, we'll take a look at what the stock markets offer on MLK Day and how investors might be able to make the most of the holiday.
Investing Strategies on MLK Day
Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a federal holiday observed on the third Monday of January in the United States, to celebrate the life and accomplishments of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr.
It's a day of commemoration and celebration – many people choose to relax, join parades and demonstrations, or spend time with family in honor of Dr. King's legacy – but it's also an important day on Wall Street and investors should be aware of how the stock market will likely react as this holiday approaches.
In recent years, stocks have typically moved in one direction or another on MLK Day – either up or down. While this does not guarantee that the same phenomenon will happen each year, it's important for investors to pay attention when investing on or near MLK Day so that they can maximize their returns.
When investing around MLK Day, there are several strategies investors can employ. A few popular tactics include:
Taking advantage of low trading volume due to less market participation
Investing in long-term investments instead of short-term trades
Diversifying portfolios with multiple types of securities
Monitoring global economies to assess how trends may affect U.S. markets
Utilizing conservative buy/sell strategies
These are just some techniques that investors can use to navigate what may be a volatile day on Wall Street during MLK Day celebrations. Depending on your goals and preferences, you could decide to abstain from trading all together during this time period in order to minimize risk. Ultimately the decision belongs to individual investors and should depend largely upon their investment goals and risk tolerance levels.
Market Volatility on MLK Day
The stock markets are often volatile on Martin Luther King Jr. Day, since the holiday is a U.S. federal holiday, and many investors take the day off from investing or trading. This can lead to reduced volume in trading activities and higher sharp moves in stock prices.
Volatility on MLK Day is often seen at all types of exchanges including the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the NASDAQ Stock Exchange, and the Chicago Stock Exchange (CHX). While it can be difficult to accurately predict how much effect this impact will have on particular stocks or ETFs, it is important to consider when choosing your investments.
It has been historically observed that during MLK Day, there may be pronounced buying or selling pressure in specific industries, such as banking and financial services companies which are popular among retail investors due to their relatively low risk when compared to other sectors like technology stocks which involve higher risk taking behavior from traders.
It is recommended for traders to pay close attention not just to stocks that could be affected by lower volume during MLK Day but also those that usually have strong seasonal correlations with certain holidays as well, such as retail and travel companies during Christmas season while tech stocks tend to outperform during summer months when everyone is 'staying home' more than usual due to vacation time away from work or school. Understanding market forces helps inform decisions when selecting investments on MLK Day and beyond! | eng | 896feec2-5d32-436c-abcc-7a407e818b84 | https://official-city.com/how-the-stock-market-affects-mlk-day/ |

Can crabs and peaches eat together
Crabs and peaches cannot be eaten together as it is possible that crabs and peaches eating together may cause diarrhoea and therefore do not eat peaches for an hour after eating crabs. Peaches contain a lot of vitamin C, whereas crabs have a lot of arsenic, and consumption of both together produces chemicals that react to produce toxic substances. Meanwhile, peaches contain tannic acid, while crabs contain large amounts of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, and consumption of both together generates indigestible substances that are highly detrimental to human health.

Hours, minutes and seconds
Seconds, minutes, and hours all are units of time. The smallest unit of the three is seconds. A second is approximately the time between 2 heartbeats. it takes $60$60 seconds to make up $1$1 minute, and it takes $60$60 minutes to make up an hour.
Knowing this relationship helps us to convert between seconds, minutes, and hours.
We can use multiplication and division to change between them.
If we want to know how many seconds are in $5$5 minutes of time, we can multiply that by $60$60 seconds because there are $60$60 seconds for each minute. $5\times60=300$5×60=300, so there are $300$300 seconds in $5$5 minutes.

Movie Review
Half-baked Green Book can't find nuance in racially charged story
I've never been of the opinion that actors or filmmakers should be limited by the genre in which they became known. There have been way too many examples of comedians doing drama or Oscar winners being hilarious to pigeonhole someone. However, if they do make the switch, they have to prove themselves worthy of that respect.
Writer/director Peter Farrelly, heretofore known for Dumb and Dumber, There's Something about Mary, and Stuck on You, is for the first time aiming for some dramatic respectability with Green Book. Set in the mid-1960s, it tells the story of Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen), a goombah who works in New York nightclubs, and Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali), a highly sought-after concert pianist who lives above Carnegie Hall.
The two become acquainted when Tony agrees to take a job as the driver for Don for a concert tour of the Deep South. Given the racist reception Don expects outside — and sometimes inside — the venues he will play, Tony is there to ensure he is protected at all times. The hours that they spend driving together lead each of them to challenge assumptions they had about the other.
First of all, there's no bad time to release a movie that preaches racial harmony. We could all do with more examples of people of opposite viewpoints and backgrounds coming together. And the fact that this film flips the script, featuring an uncultured white man finding common ground with a highly educated and talented black man, makes it interesting on the surface.
That said, the broadness of Green Book makes it feel like it's a movie that's 20-30 years too late. Mortensen employs a "Noo Yawk" accent so thick that it's nearly impossible to take him seriously. On the opposite end, Ali plays Tony as so buttoned up that he's robbed of almost all personality. The story couldn't scream Odd Couple any louder than it does.
The whole point of the film, which is named after the guide black travelers would use to know where it was safe to stay and eat in the South, is to show how the duo handled themselves in a variety of racially-charged situations. But Farrelly and his co-writers put little nuance in any of those scenes, especially with racist characters Tony and Don encounter, and the film quickly becomes redundant.
Still, either through force of will or just the amount of time they spend together, the relationship between Tony and Don becomes affecting. Their conversations are never all that deep, but it is fun and occasionally thought-provoking to see how they interact with each other.
Likewise, the performances of Mortensen and Ali grow on you, probably because the film goes on for an overlong 130 minutes. They are both fine actors who have earned their Oscar nominations and win, respectively, and their acting skills keep their characters from becoming more stereotypical than they already are.
With so many other recent movies finding a way to address racial issues in both entertaining and considerate methods, Green Book feels like a wrongheaded throwback. It may give you some good feelings, but its message is only half-baked | eng | 0c9fb793-07ec-4289-9f89-7e55ab982a3c | https://sanantonio.culturemap.com/news/entertainment/11-21-18-green-book-movie-review-mahershala-ali/ |

Does self-stigma impact blood glucose control in people with type 1 diabetes?
JANUARY 25, 2023 - Individuals with chronic medical conditions may experience self-stigma, or negative beliefs, emotional reactions, and behaviors towards themselves as a result of their illness. New research published in the Journal of Diabetes Investigation found a link between self-stigma and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c)—a marker of blood glucose levels—in adults with type 1 diabetes.
The study included 109 adults in Japan with type 1 diabetes who completed questionnaires that generated scores based on a self-stigma scale. Although the findings support a link between self-stigma and sub-optimal HbA1c, additional studies are needed to show whether this is a causal relationship.
"We focused on this issue through clinical experiences with people with type 1 diabetes, whose glycemic management improved markedly by social supports of eliminating diabetes-related stigma. Although the finding of an association between self-stigma and HbA1c is significant, further longitudinal research is required to determine whether self-stigma leads to sub-optimal HbA1c," said corresponding author Yukiko Onishi MD, PhD, of the Institute of Medical Science, Asahi Life Foundation, in Tokyo. "This research does support and highlight the importance of eliminating self-stigma when treating people with type 1 diabetes." | eng | 979518c0-5688-41e5-b9c2-a35fa2217154 | https://smj.org.sa/content/44/2/224 |

Arizona is located in the southwestern corner of the United States, bordered by California to the west, Nevada and Utah to the north, New Mexico to the east, and Mexico to the south. It is home to some of America's most iconic natural wonders including Grand Canyon National Park and Monument Valley Navajo Tribal Park. The state also offers visitors a wide range of activities from hiking and biking in its canyons and mountains to exploring its deserts via 4x4s or horseback riding. Arizona's cities offer plenty of entertainment as well as diverse cuisine with Mexican food being especially popular.
The state has a long history that goes back thousands of years when Native American tribes such as the Hohokam inhabited it. Later on it was explored by Spanish conquistadors who established missions in what is now Tucson in 1775. In 1848 Arizona became part of the United States after being ceded by Mexico following their defeat in the Mexican-American War. Following this period there was an influx of settlers into Arizona mostly due to its gold discovery which led to many boomtowns springing up throughout the state during this period.
Today, Arizona is known for its diverse landscape which ranges from desert plains in its southern regions all the way up to pine forests in its northern mountains such as Flagstaff's San Francisco Peaks or Humphreys Peak near Williams. The state also has several large lakes including Lake Havasu on the Colorado River near Parker where you can find beaches perfect for swimming or boating activities during summertime when temperatures are usually very hot throughout most parts of Arizona due to it being one of America's four "Sunbelt" states (along with California, Florida & Texas).
The culture in Arizona is also very interesting with many different Native American tribes living throughout various parts of it such as Hopi Nation at Oraibi or Navajo Nation at Window Rock both having their own unique customs which visitors can experience first hand through visiting cultural centers or attending local festivals like Native American Heritage Month celebration held annually at Phoenix Indian School Cultural Center & Museum every November since 1962!
Arizona also has lots of great attractions for visitors who want an exciting vacation away from home but not too far away since it's only about 8 hours drive from Los Angeles! Some must-see places include Saguaro National Park near Tucson where you can take pictures with giant saguaro cactus; Havasu Falls near Grand Canyon National Park where you can take a dip into crystal clear turquoise water; Montezuma Castle National Monument just south east from Flagstaff where you can explore ancient cliff dwellings; Horseshoe Bend just outside Page near Lake Powell where you can witness stunning views over Colorado River winding around red rock formations; plus many more!
In conclusion, there are so many reasons why people should visit Arizona! From its incredible landscapes ranging from deserts & forests to rivers & lakes; fascinating cultures that have been preserved for centuries; amazing attractions like Grand Canyon or Havasu Falls; plus much more – this beautiful state will definitely leave any visitor with unforgettable memories!

Way too much writing in this book. Very time consuming to have to go in and erase before being able to use....
"Karbo describes nuanced moments of nearly excruciating tenderness, embarrassmennt, frustration, and love, balanced with passages of often side-splitting humor. When an emergency arises, special vehicles are called to the scene. This is a great book. Poems are fine, but if I wanted to read about them i would have picked up a book about them. I have a blind missionary friend who established the first Braille library in Liberia where 3% of the population is blind.

Multi-Factor Authentication for Microsoft 365 is a critical security feature that requires a user to approve a login attempt using their mobile device. A simple prompt is displayed, and the user can reject the attempt if it wasn't them.
The most important thing to remember? MFA is only displayed when a successful login attempt is made. In other words, the user's credentials are known and being used successfully. MFA is highly effective because the user is now aware that their credentials are known, they have the opportunity to reject the login attempt, and they can change their password immediately.
What is MFA Number Matching, and why has Microsoft made the change?
On February 27, 2023, the basic "Yes" or "No, it's not me" options presented during the MFA process will be enhanced to include a random number. The random number must be entered during approval (see the images below for examples).
Here's what you can expect to see soon:
App is the requesting application (informational)
This allows the user to understand which system or service is trying to access the account. For example, the application or service name is provided if Microsoft 365 is used to log into third-party services
Location (informational)
This lets you know where the login request came from.
Number Matching (behavioural)
Instead of simply approving a login request, you must provide a two-digit number.
Why is Microsoft doing this?
This change introduces a human step to avoid mistakes or complacent behaviour. In the example above, the user is presented with "88" on the login page and enters it into the Microsoft Authenticator app on their mobile device. The change ensures users don't accidentally click "Yes" or ignore the importance due to MFA fatigue.
The SIRKit team has tested the incoming changes, there were no issues. The extra security and enhanced information are valuable.
Check out this article with your IT team if you're interested in activating these new features before Microsoft's general roll-out. Alternatively, call us if you need a fantastic Managed IT partner, and we'll take care of it for you. | eng | 73fa6975-55fa-4a52-b68c-3cd2211dfcae | https://www.sirkit.ca/microsoft-authenticator-enhancements-mfa-security/ |
Kidney Disease
Your kidneys are among the most important organs in the body. They filter out toxins and other waste materials, ensuring the fluids in your body achieve a balanced level and keeping harmful particles from circulating throughout the body. While it is possible to live with one kidney, if you are forced to have both kidneys removed, you will require dialysis. Kidney failure presents itself in acute and chronic forms and can be the result of an autoimmune disease or organ failure.
The team of professional at Cords of Revitalization are helping patients with kidney disease regain their quality of life with stem cell iv therapy. There are a variety of stem cells, each containing properties that serve unique benefits. We have carefully sourced our stem cells to ensure our patients receive the highest quality and greatest effect towards helping improve their condition.
What is Kidney Disease?
Chronic Kidney disease is a condition that will not repair itself over time but will actually worsen as time goes on. The primary cause for chronic kidney disease is persistently-high blood pressure. This increased blood pressure damages vessels inside the kidney until it is unable to perform its normal function.
Acute kidney failure occurs when your kidneys suddenly become unable to filter waste products from your blood. When your kidneys lose their filtering ability, dangerous levels of wastes may accumulate, and your blood's chemical makeup may get out of balance. Acute kidney failure develops in less than a few days. Acute kidney failure is most common in people who are already hospitalized, particularly in critically ill people who need intensive care.
Lastly, As mentioned above, your kidneys could begin to decline due to autoimmune dysfunction, in which your immune system begins to attack kidney cells, gradually breaking down one or both kidneys.
Symptoms
Some forms of kidney failure are only detectable via a blood test. Symptoms of acute kidney failure may include:
Causes
Kidney disease can develop due to direct and indirect factors so it is always best to seek medical help as soon as symptoms present themselves. Early intervention could dramatically improve recovery. Below are some of the common causes of kidney disease:
How Stem Cells can Help With Kidney Disease
Stem cells can help manage and mitigate kidney disease in two main ways, repair and replace damaged and dying kidney cells, and help restore order to your immune system- they simply take direction from nearby cells.
For patients with kidneys that have damaged cell structures or forms of degenerative kidney diseases, stem cells can help encourage cellular repair. This can help fortify damaged kidneys, improving efficiency and enabling them to properly filter fluidsAutoimmune conditions that target the kidneys can be suppressed with the introduction of stem cells into the system. These new cells contain immune blockers that can deactivate overly aggressive immune functions. This helps manage kidney damage and provides the stem cells the opportunity to repair the damaged tissue and restore function.

Google Tulip | Available on April 1, 2019
Decoding the language of flowers has been a decade-long challenge. But that changed today Thanks to the great progress of artificial intelligence, Google Assistant on the phone and Google Home has been able to understand the tulips, which allows translation between the language of tulips and dozens of people.
If you want to try for yourself, set your Google Assistant in English or smart speaker language in English and say "Talk to a Tulip Translator".
Throughout time, people have made more effective ways to communicate with each other. But the technology did not create it with flowers, although it is not a secret that members of flower world talk to each other.
Scientists have found that plants use their roots to send signals to neighboring plants, as a way to maintain their safety and well-being.
The ability to speak with tulips comes with great environmental and social benefits. Tulips are now a way to point to people that they require water, light or anything else. Their needs are more clearly expressed, they are able to live a happy and healthy life.
Socially, it turns out to be the plant, and especially tulips, very sticky, and made for great friends. Tulips offer excellent advice and sound advice, while listening.
It does not come suddenly that the Google Toolpip Netherlands, where 12.5 billion flowers are produced annually, are mostly developed and tested. In particular, Dutch is famous for their tulips and is known in the world as a famous flower park, some kennelhof, which provides the perfect test ground.
Google is resolving the challenge of talking with plants separately.
Based on a progress in the name of Neural Machine Translation, we have worked with Wagnenin University and Research for Tulip Signal Maps in Human Language.
At the end of two years of training, we were finally able to add the tulips as a language in the broadcasted interpreter mode of Google Home | eng | 59322b91-ba40-4d67-b859-ffb25b5f64f4 | https://www.the-daily-story.com/google-tulip-available-on-april-1-2019/ |

The Difference Between Dyskinesia and Tremor
Although distinguishing between Parkinson's dyskinesia and parkinsonian tremor can be difficult, recognizing the differences can significantly impact both treatment and quality of life for a person with Parkinson's. Here, we'll highlight some of the differences and similarities and share how treatments vary depending on the diagnosis.
What Is Dyskinesia?
Literally meaning "abnormal movement," dyskinesia is an uncontrolled, involuntary muscle movement that is irregular in motion. Although it can be a stand-alone condition, in people with Parkinson's, it is most often associated with long-term use of levodopa or other Parkinson's medications that increase levels of dopamine in the brain. This type of levodopa-induced dyskinesia involves symptoms ranging from writhing or wriggling to dramatic rocking and head bobbing. Severe dyskinesia, also referred to as troublesome dyskinesia, can significantly interfere with daily life and compromise gait and balance, limiting the person's engagement in activities such as running errands, participating in hobbies, meeting with family and friends, and eating in public.
How is dyskinesia diagnosed?
Parkinson's dyskinesia is most often diagnosed via a physical examination and clinical history review. Movement disorder specialists and neurologists are best equipped to make this diagnosis. To help confirm the diagnosis more objectively, your doctor may also suggest that you video yourself when you're at home or use a wearable device that can detect movements over time.
What is parkinsonian tremor?
Like dyskinesia, a parkinsonian tremor involves involuntary muscle movements. Unlike dyskinesia, however, a tremor is characterized by regular, rhythmic movements.
A tremor can affect one or more parts of the body, with the most common being a person's hands. In the early stages of Parkinson's, tremor is typically seen on one side of the body often starting in a hand; however, as Parkinson's progresses, tremor may impact both sides and affect more body regions.
Typically, Parkinson's tremors, often referred to as a rest tremor, occur when the person is at rest or under emotional or physical stress. During sleep and other relaxed states, and when the affected part of the body is actively moving, tremors often subside.
Regardless of the body parts they affect, tremors can interfere with routine activities such as writing, shaving, getting dressed, tying shoelaces, cutting, and other tasks that require fine motor coordination.
How is parkinsonian tremor diagnosed?
Doctors often diagnose tremors through physical and neurological examinations and a medical history review. During the physical evaluation, a doctor will assess the tremor to see if it occurs when your muscles are at rest or in action, where they are located on your body, if they occur on one or both sides, and their frequency and amplitude. They will also assess other neurological functions such as walking, balance, speech, muscle tone, and mobility.
What is the difference in treatment?
At times, it can be difficult to distinguish between dyskinesia and tremor, so it is essential to find a doctor with enough expertise to do so. Making the correct diagnosis is critically important, as it can profoundly alter treatment decisions.
If a person with Parkinson's is having dyskinesias that are bothersome and/or present most of the time, one option is to reduce the levodopa dose or other related Parkinson's medications. However, if doing so would adversely affect the control of your chief Parkinson's symptoms, your doctor may prescribe treatment to specifically target the dyskinesia. An extended-release formulation of amantadine (GOCOVRI) has been approved by the FDA specifically for the treatment of levodopa-induced dyskinesia in people with Parkinson's and has been demonstrated to also reduce OFF time, when Parkinson's symptoms re-emerge. Another option is to consider other forms of amantadine, which are approved to treat Parkinson's – and may be prescribed off-label to treat dyskinesia.
However, if a person with Parkinson's is experiencing a parkinsonian tremor, you would do the exact opposite and increase the dosage of levodopa or related Parkinson medications. As the most common medication used to control movement symptoms of Parkinson's, levodopa typically helps relieve tremors in people with Parkinson's. Other medications, such as anticholinergics, are sometimes used to control tremors, but because these can cause significant mental and physical side effects, be sure to discuss all options with your doctor carefully. Propranolol, a drug used for hypertension, heart disease, and migraine headaches, is occasionally helpful for managing parkinsonian tremors, as is Clozapine, a drug used for treating schizophrenia. Although it may be effective for controlling tremor, Clozapine requires those taking it to adhere to strict monitoring of blood work for the first year and a half of use.For people with Parkinson's who are good candidates and willing to undergo surgery, deep brain stimulation (DBS) can be a successful treatment option for controlling Parkinson's dyskinesia and parkinsonian tremor.

Tips for Gut Health While Traveling
When you're preparing for a trip, you probably have several things on your plate to deal with. From packing and planning to getting your itinerary in order, there are plenty of things to take care of. That should include keeping your health and well-being in mind.
Your gut and stomach health might get overlooked while traveling, especially if you're with kids and trying to make sure they're taken care of. Unfortunately, the stress of travel can quickly take a toll. If you don't take care of your gut, it will certainly let you know! The combination of a strange schedule, foods, extra stress, and a lack of sleep can all wreak havoc on your digestive system.
So, what can you do while you're traveling to take care of your gut – especially in a different country?
Let's cover a few tips that will keep your gut happy and healthy while you're away from home, so you can enjoy your time rather than dealing with an uneasy stomach.
Keep a Routine
Your body is likely used to a pretty standard routine. Even if you don't do things the same way every day at home, your schedule is probably relatively similar each day. That includes getting a certain amount of sleep, eating certain foods and specific times, and staying active.
When you're traveling, that all can change. If you switch up your routine, it's going to take time for your body to adjust. For example, you might be sleeping less while you're away. If you don't get enough sleep, you could start to see changes in your appetite, driving you to eat things you shouldn't. Your immune system can also weaken, which directly impacts your gut health. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep when you're away from home. If you're having trouble falling asleep somewhere different, try some of the following tips:
Avoid looking at screens while in bed
Limit alcohol, caffeine, and nicotine at night
Avoid taking naps during the day
Try to wake up and go to sleep at the same time each day
In addition to keeping a sleep routine, try to mimic your routine from home as much as possible. It's okay for some things to be different. But, your body's natural circadian rhythms can get thrown off easily. Keeping them on track is better for your overall well-being – including gut health.
Watch What You Eat
When you're traveling somewhere new, experiencing different foods or indulging in your favorites is part of the fun! There's nothing wrong with eating local cuisine. But, take stock of what you're eating and how it could impact your gut. It's especially important to be careful if you have an existing condition like GERD or acid reflux. Some of the most common symptoms of GERD include:
Heartburn
Chest pain
Gas
Bloating
Regurgitation
Those symptoms might be exacerbated by eating the wrong things. You might also just have a sensitive stomach that can't handle certain ingredients. One of the best things you can do for your gut health is to stay hydrated. Carry a water bottle with you everywhere and drink from it throughout the day.
Additionally, making sure you're getting enough leafy greens each day can make a big difference. No, a big plate of vegetables might not sound as fun as an ice cream sundae. But, your body will thank you for it! You don't need to give up on those indulgences or avoid them altogether. But, make sure you're including nutrients that will help your digestive system, too.
If you have a hard time "eating your greens," consider packing probiotics or digestive enzymes in your suitcase. Adding them to every meal can help you digest food easier and maintain the balance of healthy bacteria in your gut. That will keep you from feeling bloated and sluggish while you're traveling.
Stay Active Each Day
Getting enough movement every day is crucial to maintain a healthy gut. First, exercise will help to "keep things moving" within your body, making digestion easier. It also raises your core temperature. That allows reduced blood flow to the intestines and more direct contact with your gut microbes. Think of exercising as a way to "massage" the muscles in your digestive tract. It's a fantastic way to keep from feeling bloated, and it can also ward off an upset stomach if you haven't been eating the way you should.
If exercise doesn't help with a stomach ache, try quick remedies like chamomile tea, apple cider vinegar, or ginger to get things back on track. Once your stomach feels better, you can get back to being active and using exercise to balance the bacteria in your gut.
From planning ahead to eating right and from keeping a routine to getting enough movement, there are plenty of ways to manage your gut health while traveling. You don't have to fall victim to constipation, bloating, or other digestive issues that often happen while away from home. Keep these tips in mind to enjoy your trip while feeling your best | eng | 39345500-74d8-492c-9edd-80cc7e7b84e4 | https://thinkingnomads.com/2021/08/tips-for-gut-health-while-traveling/ |

The Ultimate Keyword Research Guide for Ecommerce
July 07, 2021 |
nogin
Reading Time: 13 minutes
Keyword research is essential to any successful ecommerce storefront. Identifying which keywords to use for your product listings will help you increase traffic to your site and generate more qualified leads. The new coronavirus ecommerce environment has dramatically changed the retail environment, and marketers should focus on SEO and content creation sooner rather than later.
If you are new to search engine optimization (SEO) or would like to discover an easy-to-use guide to help you research, choose, and implement the best keywords for your ecommerce website, check out our helpful guide. We will give you the scoop on the best tools to use, our simple process, and the ultimate keyword research strategy you can use for your business.
What is Keyword Research?
Keyword research is the SEO process to discover and select the best keyword options to implement for a website. Marketers should conduct keyword research in the early stages of content creation and draft their pages around keyword targets. It is an ongoing process, and online merchants should continuously optimize their website with new keywords for poor-performing pages. Keyword research will also help marketers identify topics and search queries to incorporate into fresh content.
The four most important components to analyze for any given keyword include:
1. Monthly Search Volume (MSV)
The average number of monthly searches for a given keyword over 12 months. At least 71% of search traffic clicks are on first page results in Google, and 25% of people click on the first Google search result. Therefore, if a keyword has a MSV of 1,000, 710 users will select a website on the first page of search results. Marketers must identify searches with sufficient search volume and publish high-quality, in-depth content to climb the ranks and land on the first page of search.
2. Keyword Difficulty
The keyword difficulty index (from 1 to 100%) measures how hard it would be to outrank your competitors in the Google organic search for a given keyword. The higher the percentage, the harder it is to rank for a targeted keyword. Ideally, you want to pick keywords with high monthly search volume and low keyword difficulty.
Keywords with high difficulty scores often indicate there are many competitive pages indexed on the web that match the search intent behind the keyword and the landing page that ranks for the term exists on a site with high Domain Authority (DA). The ranking page is in-depth (2,000+ words), incorporates aligning queries relevant to the keyword search, and links to other websites or pages on the site relevant to the topic. Suppose you want to rank for keywords with high keyword difficulty. In that case, it is best to develop an in-depth pillar piece of content (2,000+ words) around that keyword topic and develop sub-pillar pages (600-1000) that align with the topic and include internal links back to the pillar page.
3. Cost-Per Click (CPC)
Cost-Per-Click (CPC) is the average price in USD advertisers pay for a user's click on a Google ad triggered by a given keyword. For instance, a keyword query for "red leather jacket" may have a $10 cost-per-click. An apparel company may want to bid on that keyword search to generate traffic to their website based on that query. If the company chooses to bid and run ads to a landing page based on that query, Google will charge them $10 per click generated from that query.
Clients are often willing to pay for Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns as a fast way to generate traffic and qualified leads to their site. However, PPC campaigns are only worth the investment if they see a sufficient return on their investment.
CPC is a valuable metric for keyword research because it is an excellent way to quantify the value of a business's content. If a page ranks organically for a keyword query, you will not have to pay for the clicks generated from your ranking landing page. Let's say that the apparel company develops an in-depth piece of content or an outstanding product page, and it generates an average of 20 clicks a month in search for the query "red leather jacket." The landing page will save the company $200 per month ($10 CPC X 20 monthly clicks)! Also, it will most likely rank for other similar keyword queries, such as "men's red leather jacket" or "real red leather jacket." SEO tools such as SemRush will quantify the monthly traffic cost for your landing pages in PPC value:
Businesses should target keywords with high CPC and develop landing pages that align with the query to save money on expensive PPC costs and rank for valuable keywords organically. The better and more in-depth landing pages you develop, the more likely the page will rank for valuable keywords, which will equate to more organic traffic and conversions. Not to mention you won't have to pay a dime for the clicks!
4. Competitive Density
Competitive density measures the level of competition between PPC advertisers bidding on any given keyword. It is measured on a scale from 0 to 1.00, with 1.00 being the most difficult to rank for the keyword search.
Competitive density is often confused with keyword difficulty; however, they are pretty different. Competitive density measures paid competition in Google AdWords campaigns, while keyword difficulty measures how hard it is for content creators to rank for a search term organically (SEO). Marketers should utilize both metrics to determine whether they should target a keyword through organic or paid efforts.
Best Ecommerce Keyword Research Tools
Every online business should use keyword research tools to find the best queries for their products and services. Let's discuss some of the best free, paid, and rank tracking tools.
Free Keyword Research Tools
Some of the best free keyword research tools for ecommerce include:
1. Google Analytics
For any online business, connecting your website to Google Analytics is a must. Google Analytics will give you access to crucial SEO information concerning your website performance, traffic metrics for your site, and user behavior. You can investigate the keywords driving traffic to your site and analyze the performance of each landing page. Content creators can revise pages with poor average session duration, high bounce rates, low traffic and can incorporate more relevant keywords onto the pages to improve performance.
2. Google Search Console
Google Search Console is an essential tool for any ecommerce online marketing manager. Once you connect your website to it, you will gain access to amazing capabilities to help you investigate your mobile usability, site coverage, and, most importantly, the exact keywords that generate clicks to your site. GSC gives website admins the ability to access information on each keyword, including:
The Total Clicks: How many times a user clicked through to your site from organic search.
Total Impressions: How many times a user saw your site in search results.
Average Click-Through Rate (CTR): The percentage of impressions that resulted in a click.
Average Position: The average position of your site in search results for any given keyword).
Once you begin to collect data on the keywords generating clicks to your site, you can revise your content to incorporate keywords resulting in more organic traffic and dump any poor-performing keywords. You can also select each landing page on your site that generated organic traffic and view every keyword that yielded results.
3. Google Trends
Google Trends is an excellent way to investigate the popularity of keyword searches over time. Once you enter a keyword into the search function, Google Trends will break down the search's popularity. Users can modify their search function to analyze the term across regions, categories, and types of web searches.
One of the most beneficial functions of Google Trends is that it allows marketers to assess interest by subregion. Suppose you notice that a particular keyword search is most prevalent in specific states. In that case, you can modify your product pages or paid ad targeting to cater to the most engaged area. Lastly, it will also provide you with related queries and topics to further improve product or site pages.
4. AnswerThePublic
AnswerThePublic is an excellent free keyword research tool to help marketers discover popular questions around any root keyword search. Enter your keyword into the search bar and presto! You'll find a sheet of top questions around your keyword search. You can organize the data in columns or a visualization wheel and download the results in a CSV. Although there is a premium option available, users can use the tool several times a day.
5. Soovle
It may not be the prettiest tool, but it's an excellent free option for marketers interested in discovering new related keywords around a topic. Enter a keyword search into the Soovle search engine, and it will display top search results around your root keyword. Best of all, it will break it down based on popular channels, such as Amazon, YouTube, and Google.
Premium Keyword Research Tools
Although there are many great free keyword research tools, every online business should invest in some premium keyword research tools for more advanced features and data. Some of our favorite paid keyword research tools for ecommerce include:
1. Semrush
Semrush is one of the most popular and powerful SEO tools available for marketers. Marketers can use SemRush for not only keyword research but also site analysis, local SEO, link building, backlink audits, and more.
The keyword research function is astounding. Enter a keyword into the Keyword Overview tool, and you will access a bounty of incredible information to help you identify the best keywords to use for your site. You can quickly see the monthly search volume, keyword difficulty, CPC, and competition for your searched query, along with keyword variations, questions, and related keywords around your search. Select keywords to add to your specified keyword lists to easily organize your targeted keywords for new product pages.
Best of all, you can investigate the pages that rank for any given keyword search and analyze that page to discover their top organic keywords, top position changes, and keyword trends to help you craft a landing page to compete for your target keywords. If there is one premium SEO keyword research tool I would recommend for ecommerce, it's Semrush.
2. BuzzSumo
BuzzSumo is an excellent keyword research tool to discover trending topics and research the most engaging content for any given keyword search on social media. This powerful tool allows you to discover topics, keywords, and questions for any search. You can also research related influencers on Twitter, YouTube, and authors for any given topic to help you craft a PR campaign. Dive into published articles around your search topic and build engaging ecommerce landing pages to mirror your niche's most successful content.
3. Keywords Everywhere
Keywords Everywhere is an excellent premium option on a budget. Install the chrome extension on your browser, and you can purchase keyword credits. Each credit equals one keyword, and you will see the MSV, CPC, and competition for each keyword populated based on your root search. To use the tool, enter a search in Google, and you will have a related keyword list presented with metrics. Download the list to a CSV and pick the ones you want to use. Organize your list in a Google spreadsheet or Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.
4. Moz
Moz is one of the top SEO toolsets for marketers. In addition to keyword research, users can conduct site audits, backlink analysis, and more. Like SemRush, enter a root keyword into the keyword overview function. You will see keyword suggestions, SERP analysis, and other data to help you create keyword lists for a new site page. The platform is intuitive and easy-to-use for inexperienced search-engine marketers, so if you're new to the game, it's a great option.
5. Ahrefs
Ahrefs is an excellent premium keyword research tool and over SEO powerhouse. Users can conduct site audits, research competitors, explore top-performing content in their industry, and of course, conduct keyword research. The user interface is very similar to SemRush. Both SEO tools share similar features and capabilities, so make sure only to pick one and save money on your marketing budget!
Rank Tracking for Ecommerce Tools
Keyword ranking tracking is one of the most important ecommerce KPIs for your business. Some of the premium tools we mentioned earlier, including SemRush, Ahrefs, and Moz, all have rank tracking capabilities. However, some of our favorite tools that have much more informative and dynamic features include:
1. SE Ranking
SE Ranking is an excellent SEO tool, but its keyword rank tracking capabilities are why marketers flock to purchase it. Users can purchase plans based on the number of keywords they want to track and access a bounty of information on each targeted keyword. Marketers can track keywords across up to five search engines and measure rankings in specific cities and locations.
Along with keyword rankings, SE Rankings tracks Google Maps results, Google Ads rankings, and specific SERP features, such as featured snippets or videos. You can also add track competitor rankings and access visibility scores based on particular keywords. Other features include social media management, website auditing, and backlink checkers.
2. Conductor
Conductor is a pricier keyword rank tracking software option, but if you can spring the cost, it's worth the investment. Conductor allows you to monitor your search position daily across locations, languages, and devices. You can easily adjust the keyword parameters to filter searches based on keywords that moved to the top page, dropped off the top page, and more to visualize areas of success quickly.
Marketers can also compare their market share to competitors and easily find competitive picks to create new content based on keyword opportunities. Lastly, filter your keyword list based on a specified time frame to help you make monthly reports to track progress.
3. AccuRanker
AccuRanker is my last keyword rank tracking software recommendation for ecommerce. Marketers can purchase keywords to rank in intervals of 500. They'll have access to integrate Google Analytics and Search Console into the platform and begin selecting the keywords they want to track. Refresh the keyword rankings whenever you please and access daily updates and advanced data.
Filter your rankings based on SERP features to gain insights into how users find your ecommerce storefront through organic channels. Segment and filter data and organize your data based on categories to guide content and SEO strategies. Gain access to historic data for keywords you track and utilize unlimited domains and users in AccuRanker.
Why is Identifying Keywords Important for Research?
Keyword research is one of the most essential components of SEO. It is the driving force behind content marketing. Marketers should implement a keyword research plan before content creation to ensure the site copy and pages discuss relevant topics around queries that match their target audience's searches.
Marketers should conduct thorough keyword research and implement target keywords in relevant sections of their site and product pages, such as title tags, meta descriptions, product titles, and body copy. A search engine's job is simple: provide the best site pages that match the user's search intent. Identifying keywords with proven monthly search volume ensures that they are the best picks to use throughout your site.
It helps Google understand that your landing pages match the search intent of its users. The better, more-in-depth content you can create based on the keywords you discover, your site will more likely appear in search results for the valuable keywords you want to rank for in Google, Bing, and other search engines.
Identifying the best keywords for PPC campaigns is crucial to discover selected queries that will maximize your budget and result in a better return on investment. Developing killer organic content that incorporates your targeted keywords will increase your chances to climb the rankings. Once you start to rank well for your targeted keywords, continue to develop supporting content and save money on paid-media efforts. You'll create a money-making making machine that brings your customers right to your front door.
How to Perform Keyword Research for Ecommerce: 3 Step Guide
If you're new to keyword research, we'll give an easy process to research, identify, and implement the best keywords onto your website. Many SEO keyword research tools give the user an abundant selection of information to dissect and interpret, which can quickly become overwhelming.
Don't worry! Whether you use a premium or free keyword research tool, our simple process will ensure you can research, catalog, and utilize the best keywords for your business to improve organic traffic, rankings, and conversions.
1.Conduct Broad Research Starting With Root Keywords
Always begin your keyword research journey with your target root keywords. A keyword root is the main keyword you want to dominate in the search rankings. It is a broad category topic that can come in many long-tailed keyword variations.
For instance, a root keyword for an ecommerce store could be "leather jacket." However, if your site lacks a strong domain authority and content on your website is sparse, you'll find that ranking for root keywords is a challenge and will take considerable effort.
You want to do your best to develop product and site pages to target root keywords. Still, you'll quickly discover plenty of keyword variations, questions, and related keywords you can target that will be easier to target.
Begin selecting long-tail keywords, questions, and related keywords and categorize them based on your root keywords. For instance, you can categorize the following search queries under "leather jacket":
Begin adding your selected keywords to a keyword list and categorize them based on your root keywords. Try to choose keywords with sufficient monthly-search volume, low keyword difficulty percentages, and a CPC price. The best way to start getting momentum for your site is to target keywords with low keyword difficulty since you will have a better chance to rank for them.
Once you have a good keyword list, begin outlining new product pages and site pages based on your research. Utilize your related keywords and long-tail keyword variations in your product titles and descriptions. Make sure to include plenty of related keywords that align with your product to capture the widest net of search queries.
Develop content pages that answer queries around your root topic. Use the questions you've identified in your research as headers and draft your content to answer the queries sufficiently. Supporting content pages are also an excellent way to link to your relevant product pages. Use your targeted keywords as the anchor text to link to your product pages to help signal to Google the relevancy of that page relating to the keywords.
The average first-page results on Google contain 1,890 words, so make sure to draft through content to give your website the best chances to climb the rankings, especially for luxury ecommerce websites. Sites with rich and informative content provide instant value to their visitors, elevate their website's quality, and build rapport with their audience. Great content and product descriptions also help lower return rates since visitors will have more information to understand your products, so they know what to expect when it arrives.

ERuDeF Institute Provides Alternative Trainings as Strike Persists
Some High School students in Meme, Manyu and Dian Division of the Southwest Region have expressed their determination to pursue a career in Biodiversity Conservation Studies when they leave high school. The students' passion was articulated recently during one of ERuDeF Institute of Biodiversity and Non-profit Studies (ERuDeF Institute)' outreach activity, February 25-27, 2015, to some high schools in the Meme, Manyu and Dian Divisions.
Aimed at grooming young Cameroonians for the future conservation and sustainable management of the country's biodiversity, the ERuDeF Institute outreach team schooled the students on career opportunities in biodiversity conservation.
This team exposed the future leaders to programmes offered by the ERuDeF Institute like Agroforestry, Biodiversity Conservation, Environmental Journalism, Environmental Education, GIS for Development, Mountain Studies and NGO & Fundraising Studies. They told the students how each of these programmes can contribute to the conservation and sustainable management of Cameroon's biodiversity and the future development of the country.
Given that most of the programmes offered by the ERuDeF Institute are still new in higher education curriculum, these students greeted the orientation exercise with lots of excitement.
An Upper Sixth student of GHS Ossing, Ashukem Moses Etchu recalled that people practicing agroforestry system in his community always have more financial returns especially in the in the cultivation of bush mango, njansang and many others than those doing mono-culture.
Another student from GBHS Mundemda, Ndingi Paul Ekpeni, was so much interested in the Biodiversity Conservation Programme. He sought and was told what it takes to study that programme at the ERuDeF Institute.
ERuDeF Institute will in the weeks ahead replicate such outreach and orientation programme to some schools in the Littoral, West and Northwest Regions. | eng | 83f4e5f0-0d01-4332-b1d3-0c72a9a6d88e | https://erudefinstitute.org/2017/04/17/erudef-institute-provides-alternative-trainings-as-strike-persists/ |
How to Share WiFi Password: A Comprehensive Guide
Introduction
Hello great people! In this digital age, staying connected is more important than ever you think. Whether you're at home, at work, or on the go, having access to a reliable WiFi network is crucial. However, sharing WiFi passwords can sometimes be a challenging task, especially for those who are not tech-savvy.

FROM THE TRIUMPHANT ENTRY TO THE TRIUMPHAL PASSION HOMILY FOR THE PASSION (PALM) SUNDAY Rev. Fr. Boniface Nkem Anusiem PhD
Once upon a time in Haarlem, a city in Netherlands, there lived a young boy called Hans Brinker. One evening, he asked his mother to allow him to visit his friend, a blind old man and to present some cakes to him. His Mother allowed him and after spending some quality time with this old friend, he started making his way home. It was actually getting late and he increased his pace.
As he was passing through the dikes (the stonewalls that prevented the North Sea from overflowing into the city), he noticed a leakage; the sea water was flowing in rapidly through a tiny hole on the dike. The little boy stopped on his way and looked at the leakage. He was convinced within his little but reflective mind that if nothing was done immediately, the entire city and even the whole country would be taking up by the sea.
Going closer to the leakage, Hans Brinker could only think of one thing, inserting one of his fingers into the opening from where the water leaked and the leakage stopped. However, he could not move because he was convinced that if he left that the sea water would empty into their city and indeed the entire Holland. Consequently the little boy stayed on all through the cold night with his numb finger inserted into the hole. He remained there till morning when his parents were on their way to the blind old man's house to check him out.
The young heroic Hans saved the whole city and indeed the entire Holland with a little finger stuck into a leaking hole on the dike. He endured the cold and a sleepless night to save the people. While the rest of the city was asleep, a young boy was awake and in pain so that they could live.
The Holy Week commences today with the ceremonies of the Palm Sunday. Today our Lord Jesus Christ gallantly entered Jerusalem not for merriment but for some painful encounter which included accusations, condemnation, insults, beating, crucifixion and death. From the celebration today we notice a quick transition from joy to sadness, from the sanguine shouts of joy to the melancholic face of gloom. The two situations jointly reflect our human experience. There are points of joy and points of sorrow, there are ups and downs but with God there is an end to all ill situations. It is all about staying focused and looking at the end like the young boy in our story.
Before the procession that led us into the Church, we heard the Gospel Reading (Matt. 21:1-11) where we are told that our Lord asked two of his disciples to go into the village facing Bethphage where they would see a donkey tied to a tree. He further told them to untie it and bring it to him. And should anyone question them they should say that the Master needed it urgently. This directive which fulfils the oracle of Zechariah (9:9) gives us ponderable lessons.
The donkey represents our souls that God needs urgently. The coming of Jesus Christ into our context is to untie our souls from the tree of sin. The tree around which the donkey was tied reminds us of the tree at the middle of the Garden of Eden in Genesis (3:3) where Adam and eve contracted the sin of disobedience which befell humanity. Furthermore, the Village is known as Bethphage and the name means "house of unripe fruits". We can clearly see from the name that the soul is suffering from deficiency; if you like unripe. Christ our Lord came not only to undo the power of that tree and replace it with the tree of redemption namely the Cross of Calvary but also to raise the donkey from being unripe and unfit to being ripe and fit for the harvest.
Attentive to the foregoing, we understand that the Lord has need for our souls that have been tied securely on the stake of sin and damnation. He has come to deliver our souls from its prison of abandonment to the tree of sin outside Jerusalem into the Jerusalem of redemption. Our Lord's triumphant entry into Jerusalem marks the actual beginning of the triumph over sin and death that have besieged our souls being represented by the Donkey upon which he rode. The highest point of the triumph will be his death on the cross and his resurrection on the third day!
From the passion reading we just heard from the account of St. Matthew, we discover that between the entry and the crucifixion there was so much suffering. The concept of suffering had elicited so much discussion among thinkers from various areas of specialization. Often, the question revolves around why God should allow His Son to go through the route of suffering in order to save us. Without going into much debate, we can actually point out here that God allowed our Lord Jesus Christ to suffer for our sake because it was the only way for our redemption to come about. In the Acts of the Apostles (Acts 3:18) we are told that the suffering of Christ is part of the fulfilment of God's words through the prophets.
In the Old Testament, people offered up animals as victims without blemish to atone for one sin or the other. But in the New Testament we have only one victim who is capable to taking away the sins of the world (John 1:29). To be able to accomplish the work of freeing us, our Lord had to suffer, shed his blood and die! The harsh reply of our Lord to Peter ("Get behind me Satan") when he wanted to discourage him from going the way of suffering tells us that the suffering of our Lord Jesus Christ issues from the irreprehensible will of God (Matt.16:23)
After the triumphant entry with Palms and the singing of hosanna came the passion of the Lord. We can fully appreciate and understand the Lord's passion on three centres of gravity. These represent the three important places and instances where our Lord suffered under three different hands.
The Gethsemane Passion
At Gethsemane our Lord Jesus Christ suffered in the hands of Satan. In Luke (4:13) we are meant to understand that after the temptation, the devil left Jesus Christ and waited for an opportune time. Gethsemane represents one of such opportune moments for the devil to attempt at stopping the redemptive work of Christ. The depressing and agonizing monologue our Lord had in the garden showed clearly that he was troubled and deeply distressed (Mark 14:33). In the account of Matthew (26:37) our Lord said: "my soul is sorrowful unto death".
At that point, he was feeling the impact of the load of our sins and the devil was at hand to discourage him from carrying the load of our sins. At Gethsemane Christ shuddered before the cup of God's wrath upon our sins that was orchestrated by the Satan. Often we get "beautiful suggestions" from the devil on our way to do the will of God which may involve some suffering. Gethsemane actually means "oil press". It thus appears that the load of our sins was pressed upon him that it seemed to be too much for him to bear. No wonder then he asked if the cup could pass, but let the will of God be done.
The Gabbatha Passion
At Gabbatha our Lord suffered in the hands of sinners. The gospel of Matthew (26:45) confirms this when Jesus asked the apostles with him: "are you sleeping? The hour has come and the son of man is being delivered into the hands of sinners".
At Gabbatha, as Isaiah (53:3ff) prophesied, he was betrayed, deserted, beaten, rejected, mocked, scourged, crowned with thorns and condemned to die by those he came to untie from the tree of sin.
The Golgotha Passion
At Golgotha our Lord Jesus Christ suffered in the hands of divinity; he suffered in the hands of his own father. But this suffering is unlike the preceding ones because it is the kind that is sacrificial. It was the kind of suffering that was most needful for our redemption. The kind of suffering that St. Paul recommended to the followers of Christ (Philippians 1:29).
At Golgotha God dealt with sin fully and finally in the body of his own son. At Golgotha our Lord Jesus Christ suffered in his full humanity and did not count on his equality with God (Phil.2:7) At Golgotha the Father forsook the Son (Mark 15:34) and allowed him to taste the bitter gall of death so that humanity can be saved and be reunited with the Father once more.
We are called within this Holy Week to make an active connection with our Lord Jesus Christ in his suffering and death. There is need for us to be "Holy Strong" in the Holy Week and not "Holy Weak". We become Holy Weak when we remain inactive and unmotivated by the transforming activities lines up within the Holy Week. We become Holy Weak when the passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ fails to find a place in our lives. The only way we can appreciate our Lord for what he did for us in the manner of the young boy in our story (but more than him) is to make a harvest of holy and committed lives within this period. Holland was saved by little boy's finger but humanity was saved by our Lord Jesus Christ who gave not just his finger but everything so that we can be saved. | eng | e5e61075-6675-4142-8777-31df033692c6 | https://frbonnie.com/2015/03/28/from-the-triumphant-entry-to-the-triumphal-passion-homily-for-the-passion-palm-sunday-rev-fr-boniface-nkem-anusiem-phd/ |
How The Tax Code Affects MinoritiesRepublicans have put out a blueprint for their tax overhaul. Professor Dorothy Brown of Emory University tells NPR's Lulu Garcia-Navarro it favors wealthy white Americans over minorities.
The only two certainties in a Republican Congress are health care and taxes. After the failure to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the Republican Congress and President Trump are turning their attention to a tax overhaul.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
KEVIN BRADY: This is our year to chart a new course, to provide tax relief to millions of middle-class families and those who want to be middle-class families.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: That's Texas Republican Kevin Brady, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee. But some early analysis suggests the GOP tax plan would mostly benefit the wealthy. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
CHUCK SCHUMER: Under this plan, the wealthiest Americans and wealthiest corporations make out like bandits while middle-class Americans are left holding the bag.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: So who will benefit? Professor of law Dorothy Brown from Emory University writes on how tax policy impacts minorities, and she joins us now. Thanks for being with us.
DOROTHY BROWN: Thank you for having me.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: From what you've read, how would this outline proposal affect minorities in this country?
BROWN: So when you look at who is benefiting - so, for example, they're keeping the homeownership tax subsidy, mortgage interest deduction. That's going to benefit more whites than blacks and Latinos, who don't own homes to the same extent. They're keeping retirement plans. Retirement plans from private employers tend to go to those who hold jobs at the higher incomes which, again, tend to be disproportionately white. So we know that even with the minimal sketching that we see in the Trump tax plan, rich, white Americans are going to benefit the most.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Let's talk about the deduction known as head of household. That's what single parents use. This...
BROWN: Correct.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: ...Tax plan doesn't mention them, so it's not really clear what the fate may be. But first, explain what that is and why it's important for single parents in particular.
BROWN: So there's a system for singles. There's a system for married, and there's a tax system if you're head of household. So you're a single parent. The rate structure for you is better than, for example, a single tax payer. So that means a single mother or a single father is going to ultimately pay lower taxes. That isn't included in this plan. Maybe it gets added back in. Maybe it doesn't. But if it doesn't, then that's going to be detrimental to single parents.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: And single parents are overwhelmingly minorities?
BROWN: Yes. That's absolutely right - will impact disproportionate percentage of people of color. You're a single parent. You're trying to make ends meet, and Uncle Sam wants to tax you more.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: If you were asked to create a tax code that gave the middle class a break, what would it look like? What would you like to see?
BROWN: I'd like to see a tax break targeted towards two-earner household because right now, if you have two single earners who get married, they pay higher taxes. And it just so happens that black married couples are more likely to have two equal-wage earners. And white married couples are more likely to have single-wage earner, stay-at-home spouses. So as it works out, white married couples - more likely get a tax cut. Black married couples - more likely to pay higher taxes.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: We've been speaking about the impact of this tax policy on people of color. What are you hearing among leaders and minority groups about what their impression is and what they're prepared to do about it?
BROWN: You know, honestly, I haven't seen much about that. So I think it's really important that we're having this conversation because I happen to think it's the 21st-century issue. You know, you shouldn't pay more taxes because of the color of your skin.
GARCIA-NAVARRO: Professor of law Dorothy Brown from Emory University, thank you | eng | ab855a98-d2d9-4233-9977-777920e34eda | https://www.npr.org/transcripts/554854506 |

Is gaming a place for superstitions? wonder that in the game's universe everything has developed into a kind of specific science. The players are famously superstitious and if you also follow rituals of conduct while spinning the reels, you don't need to feel awkward. Of course, people argue about whether casino superstitions work or not, but no one can deny that these traditions and behavior patterns are legal. After all, they are part of someone's style,
Things that bring bad luck
What could be more undesirable to a superstitious gambler than things or events widely believed to be the triggers of bad luck? Let's take a look at some basic superstitions that are generally assumed to have a negative impact on the outcome of a game of chance.
bad numbers
There are certain numbers that are widely regarded as lucky or unlucky. For example, in Western culture, there is arguably the most notorious belief that the number 13 is severely unfavorable. As a result, numerous hotels in Las Vegas do not nominally have the 13th floor, as most guests would rather refuse to book a room on such an "unhappy" floor.
Speaking of the East, China has its own national unlucky numbers. The Chinese really believe that the number 4 is the source of all problems, because it sounds surprisingly similar to the word "death". Therefore, it is quite common practice for office buildings or other establishments not to have a fourth floor.
cross your legs
A hardcore player will never think about crossing their legs, as this common movement is believed to immediately produce negative consequences. Crossed legs are a very strange superstitious belief, the origin of which is unclear. Some say it is due to the fact that a player must maintain focus and attention when playing, and being relaxed at the table does not contribute to one's concentration.
Count your money openly
Counting money while other players can detect your actions is a bad idea that could lead to you losing all your funds. It harkens back to the old days, when players had a tradition of never counting their stacks of chips until the end of a poker game. Tradition has moved to today's casino where no one counts chips during an entire blackjack session.
itchy hands
A player's itchy hands can be an indicator that they are too stressed, which experienced competitors can use to predict or interpret their actions. So this has consequently developed into another superstition about misfortune that comes to you every time your hands itchy.
Enter through the front doors
Many avoid going through the front entrance of a casino because they are sure it is a bad sign. There are two different explanations for this:
Using the back doors is a way to prevent bad luck from passing from people leaving the casino to people entering it.
The connection to the famous front gate of the MGM Grand Casino, which was built in the shape of a giant lion, and players were supposed to come through its mouth, which resembled the act of eating.
Since playing online doesn't require a player to use any ports, you don't have to worry as this superstition is simply irrelevant for online casinos.
Those scary 50$ bills
Many Americans are afraid to use $50 bills in many places, including casinos. It's especially hilarious just because these bills are the most common denomination of the dollar in the US.
The original reason to avoid 50 dollar bills may have roots in the history of American mafias. In Nevada, according to legend, gangsters often dumped victims' bodies with 50$ bills tucked inside their jacket pockets. It's how this green piece of paper became the symbol of the most unlucky outcome for any unsuccessful player who lived through those difficult times.
Borrowed money
Sometimes superstitions can be very practical in nature. So, if you've agreed to lend money to someone at a casino, your fortune is at risk. If someone suddenly asks for a few bucks, remind the person about casino traditions and say that it could completely jeopardize your own luck.
The things that bring good luck
Now it's time for us to learn some countermeasures that help attract fortune. There are countless numbers of good omens promising success.
Whether it's a lucky charm like a four-leaf clover or outlandish outfits like an Elvis jumpsuit, players wear it all. Below are the most notable and easy-to-implement ways to improve your chances of winning.
Lucky Numbers
The most magical are 3 and 7, they appear in popular culture, fiction or music many times because nothing, as is believed, attracts fortune better than these two. If you can find a bill with these digits on the line, keep it in your pocket during every visit to a casino. By the way, 777 is the wish number used to identify a jackpot on a regular slot machine.
cross your fingers
The gesture when you place your middle and index finger on top of each other. The sign is considered a magnet for good luck.
The explanation is simple – for many centuries, people have believed that a cross is capable of warding off evil that seeks to destroy any well-being. Strictly speaking, it's an easy psychological trick helping someone to stay calm and confident, which in turn helps them make right and calculated decisions.
wear red
The perception of red as a lucky color originates in Asia, where a red wedding dress is very popular. According to folklore, an evil creature, Nian, attacks people, except for those who wear red, as it is their greatest fear. It's also the reason why the Chinese wear so many red objects on New Year's Day.
Many gamblers put on something red before going to a casino, and as it is not very common for men to wear red clothes or shoes, they simply wear red underwear. Some roulette pros even claim that betting on red works best.
final words
However, you should always remember that your good mood and sound mind are more important than any of the aforementioned superstitions. No black cat could spoil your splendid day when you only see it as a cute and dear animal, not as a bad omen. Fortune prefers self-confident individuals who are able to think twice about rolling the dice. | eng | 3acb3326-d4bf-4dfb-8df1-abfb23ece311 | https://cathedralprogrock.com/is-gaming-a-place-for-superstitions/ |
HBO Max Raises the Price of Ad-Free Subscriptions: Is the Streaming War to Blame?
HBO Max has announced that it will be raising the price of its ad-free subscriptions in the United States by $1, bringing the monthly cost to $16.
The new price for ad-free HBO Max subscriptions will take effect immediately, and existing subscribers will see their charges go up in their next billing cycle on or after February 11.
The streaming wars continue to heat up, and it's likely that we'll see more companies raising their prices in order to stay competitive and invest in more original content.
HBO Max has announced that it will be raising the price of its ad-free subscriptions in the United States by $1, bringing the monthly cost to $16. This move comes as other subscription video services, such as Netflix and Disney+, have also recently increased their prices.
According to the company, the new price for ad-free HBO Max subscriptions will take effect immediately, meaning that anyone who signs up for the service from now on will be paying the higher price. Existing subscribers who are currently paying the old rate of $15 per month will see their charges go up in their next billing cycle on or after February 11.
The announcement from HBO Max comes as the streaming service continues to expand its content offerings and attract new subscribers. The platform, which launched in May 2020, currently offers a wide variety of programming, including original series, movies, and licensed content from other networks.
It's worth noting that the ad-supported version of HBO Max will remain at $11 per month, making it more affordable for those who don't want to pay extra for an ad-free experience.
As the streaming wars continue to heat up, it's likely that we'll see more companies, such as HBO Max, raising their prices in order to stay competitive and invest in more original content. While the price increase may be a disappointment for some, the additional revenue may help the streaming service continue to grow and offer more high-quality programming to its subscribers.
Overall, the price hike is an indication of the industry trend toward streaming services, and the cost for it. As streaming becomes more and more popular, it is likely that prices will continue to rise as companies invest in new content and technology to remain competitive | eng | eac4a448-296f-4176-bde6-88c679d44d1f | https://103degrees.com/hbo-max-raises-the-price-of-ad-free-subscriptions-is-the-streaming-war-to-blame/ |
The styling of nested lists with mixed or multiple child elements isn't great. If you have only a single paragraph of text or a single nested list item within a parent list item then there's no issue, but as soon as you have more than one child element the styling starts to get a bit unpredictable. This is most noticeable when you have nested lists along with paragraph text in the same parent list item, but also affects things like code blocks and quotes.
Just for reference, this is how the previous example looks with the improved CSS:
Maybe I'm overlooking some other case where those rules are important or maybe they're used elsewhere and simply removing them isn't the best option but at least change the rule affecting paragraphs from :last-of-type to :last-child and stop removing the bottom margin on all nested lists...
This is also a problem with non-nested lists when multiple paragraphs are used. This:
- List item
Second paragraph for item
- List item
- List item
is rendered like this:
List item
Second paragraph for item
List item
List item
as an image for posterity:
The second paragraph of the first item shouldn't be visually closer to the second item than it is to the preceding paragraph in the first item.
The second variation results in a dense list. It uses em-spaces at the start of, and normal double-spaces at the end of, each line to manually create the entire nested list.
(The double-space at the end could also be replaced by a <br> at the start.)
The third variation results in an evenly-spaced sparse list. It uses a leading manual line break, a trailing double-space, and em-spaces to manually create the entire nested list.
(Could also use an extra <br> at the start instead of the double-space at the end.)
Using the example from this question to demonstrate how to deal with consecutive nested items and extra long lines:
With a double-space at the end of the 1. and 2. lines<br> 1. Line 14: `my $testType`
<br>
2. Line 18: my $right_frame
In the first line you use camelCase, whereas in the second you use snake_case.
Function name casing:
Removing the leading manual line breaks 1. Line 14: `my $testType`
2. Line 18: my $right_frame
In the first line you use camelCase, whereas in the second you use snake_case.
Function name casing:
The dense version (double-spaces at the end of every line):
 ● **Variable name casing**: See [wikipedia article]( on *"Snake Case"*. In Perl, we use
  *"snake_case"* instead of *"camelCase"*, and be consistent. Example:
   1. Line 14: `my $testType`
   2. Line 18: `my $right_frame`
  In the first line you use camelCase, whereas in the second you use snake_case.
 ● **Function name casing**:

1. Line 14: my $testType

Smurf
Note the missing space in front of New faunal. It is not required, but doesn't affect the result if included.
Also note the different usages of ' ● ' (trailing space) and '  ' (no trailing space). These, and all the spaces in them, are critical for correct alignment.
While the workaround is interesting, IMO it's best not to use it. Not only does it make the markdown harder to read, it also generates semantically incorrect HTML, which can negatively impact screen readers, etc..
@Bob: I very much hesitate to use that heroic workaround and run the risk of incompatibility with some browsers. Plus in my actual use case, I'm running into the 30000 character limits in the markdown for an answer! The real answer is: the powers that be do the right thing and fix the CSS or whatever it takes!
@Cai I did think there might be issues on mobile devices. However, I just tested on an iPad using Safari 7.1 and Puffin Browser, and on an iPhone 6 with Safari. Also changed default font and size in Firefox. Apart from a minor long line glitch on the iPad and the iPhone in landscape orientation, the only major issue is long lines on the iPhone in portrait mode (as expected). Other than long lines, do you have any specific info on exactly what breaks in which browsers?
@Cai Minor glitch fixed :P Just a matter of learning how long to leave lines before manually breaking them ;) Seriously, though, I agree with you that it's probably not a good idea manually break long/mid-length lines.
@robinCTS Semantic HTML means your HTML tags are supposed to describe the actual data. When you pull tricks like this, you end up with a <p>item1<br><br>item2</p>, which is semantically incorrect - it's actually supposed to be <li>item1</li><li>item2</li>. Semantic HTML can be seen as a kind of "standard" to better support atypical display methods, e.g. a screen reader might navigate two <li> differently to a single <p>, a crawler (like Google) might parse <li> into one of those info boxes, etc. | eng | 7c162ba0-60e3-4ce7-91af-3888941b7036 | https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/287967/better-list-spacing-nested-lists-and-or-lists-with-multiple-paragraphs |

Why you should buy from us
Dissolved Oxygen in your aquarium
What is dissolved oxygen in your aquarium and why is it important?
Fish need oxygen to breathe, just as humans do. Since they don't have lungs, however, they obtain their oxygen from the water they inhabit. The air we breathe contains 21% oxygen. However, water only has a very small amount of dissolved oxygen (oxygen that is dissolved in the water). Fish use their gills to move oxygen into their bloodstream in the same way that humans use lungs to take oxygen from the air. If fish do not have enough oxygen, they can suffocate and die. This is why it's important to take proper steps to ensure your aquarium has enough dissolved oxygen. Luckily, taking a few simple measures can achieve this.
Causes of Low Oxygen
The amount of oxygen water can hold is called saturation. Water temperature, salinity, and atmospheric pressure all affect the level of saturation. A number of factors can contribute to low dissolved oxygen in an aquarium:
Excess waste
Lack of water movement
A combination of low light with plants
Overstocking the fish tank
Higher water temperatures
What do I need to do?
Air Stones
The most familiar step is to install an air stone or bubble wand. While most aquarium hobbyists are already familiar with these, I have seem claims that they aren't necessary for a thriving tank environment. While a few fish species can tolerate a lower level of oxygen, they would still benefit from having a good amount of dissolved oxygen available to them. Of course, whether using a stone or a bubble wand, they are powered by air pumps and connected with airline tubing.
Water circulation
Along with pumping extra oxygen into the aquarium water, the aeration system mentioned above will help circulate the water and break the surface tension. The rate of diffusion increases by doing this. Placing an airstone near the bottom adds oxygen more efficiently than having bubbles occur at the top of the tank since oxygen exchange occurs at the water's surface. Stagnant water has lower oxygen levels and isn't able to reach the lower level of the tank.
Powerheads, water pumps, and filters also play an important role in circulating aquarium water. You can also increase water movement by adding an additional filter or replacing the current filter with one of a higher gallon per hour capacity.
Live Plants
Adding aquatic plants can also help to increase the level of oxygen in the water because of the photosynthesis process. A large benefit of live plants is that they produce oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide and ammonia. Though it is uncommon, live plants can contribute to low dissolved oxygen if there isn't enough light provided. When exposed to light, plants produce oxygen. When there is no light, however, all plants consume oxygen. If a tank has no or low light for a long period of time, oxygen can become depleted. It is generally recommended to have light on a planted aquarium for 8-12 hours a day. The type and intensity of lighting will depend on the size of the tank, and the specific requirements of the individual plants.
Stocking
Avoiding overstocking the tank will also help. All fish will take in oxygen, so having too many fish consuming the available oxygen will, of course, shorten the supply. Most of the time, it is recommended to have no more than 1 inch of fish per gallon of water. (Goldfish are an exception to this rule - for goldfish, 5 gallon per 1 inches of fish is the typical suggestion).
Water Quality
It also can't be stressed enough how important it is to maintain good water quality. Excess waste can lead to spikes in ammonia and nitrates, as well as the depletion of oxygen, so regularly performing water changes and cleaning substrate will help to retain oxygen in the water. Keep in mind, too, that higher water temperatures don't hold as much oxygen as lower water temperatures.
Signs of Low Oxygen
If the oxygen levels in your aquarium drop too low, it will affect the behavior of your fish. Early warning signs of this are fish being less active and possibly eating less. As levels of oxygen decrease further, fish will display labored breathing and faster gill movement in an effort to get sufficient oxygen from passing more water over their gills. Finally, they will begin gasping at the water's surface, sometimes opening their mouths very wide.
If you observe fish gasping, emergency steps should be taken immediately to increase the oxygen levels. The first step you should take is to perform a large water change. At this time, you can also add a filter, air stone, or powerhead if you need to increase water flow.
Once good oxygen levels are reestablished, any corrective steps should be implemented and continued to keep the fish healthy and happy. | eng | 0ff9728a-2586-4768-91fb-8bd5c577611c | https://new.joshsfrogs.com/blog/dissolved-oxygen-in-your-aquarium |

River Birch Live Stakes Are Easy To Grow
River Birch live stakes are small branches or cuttings from the River Birch tree (Betula nigra) that are used for propagating new trees. They are typically harvested in winter or spring when trees are dormant, planted in moist soil, or submerged in water to encourage rooting.
Live stakes are a cost-effective and environmentally friendly way to propagate new trees, as they require fewer resources and have a higher success rate than other propagation methods. River Birch live stakes are particularly popular for stabilizing riverbanks, as they have a robust root system that can help prevent erosion.
To plant River Birch live stakes, prepare the soil by loosening it and ensuring it is moist. Then, insert the stakes into the ground or water, ensuring that at least one bud is above the soil line.
The stakes should be spaced about 2-3 feet apart and oriented in the same direction as the original tree.
With proper care and maintenance, River Birch live stakes can grow into healthy, mature trees in just a few years.
River Birch Live Stakes Can Provide Numerous Benefits
Soil erosion prevention: River Birch live stakes can stabilize soil along streams, rivers, and other waterways, helping to prevent erosion caused by water flow.
Water quality improvement: The River Birch tree's extensive root system can help filter and improve the quality of water that flows through the soil. This can lead to better water quality for wildlife and humans.
Wildlife habitat creation: River Birch live stakes can provide critical habitat for various wildlife, including birds, small mammals, and insects. The tree's bark provides food and habitat for numerous insects, providing food for larger animals.
Aesthetic appeal: River Birch trees are known for their attractive bark and graceful form, which can add to the aesthetic appeal of a landscape or property.
Low maintenance: River Birch trees are relatively low maintenance once established, requiring little watering or fertilization. This makes them a good option for areas that are difficult to maintain or access.
Flood resistance: River Birch trees are resistant to flooding and can withstand saturated soil conditions. This makes them a good option for areas prone to flooding or waterlogging.
Overall, River Birch live stakes can provide various environmental and aesthetic benefits, making them a good choice for various landscaping and conservation projects.

In-Person, Online, Hybrid or Hyflex Classes? Choose Your Best Fit
South Dakota State University offers different opportunities for student education that work for each student's schedule. With multiple types of class options available, students are free to create a semester schedule that perfectly fits them. Here's how to know the difference between the types of classes available and see what each option entails.
Online
When registering for classes, it is an option for some courses to choose a version that is completely online, or asynchronous, compared to on-campus. This type would be taught entirely over D2L, with instructors posting lectures, notes, class information like a syllabus or schedule and other materials online.
Online courses allow you to work on assignments at whatever time best fits your schedule. There is not a designated time frame that requires you to be on D2L at a certain time. You work at whatever pace needed to meet the assigned due dates. Be prepared to check the course syllabus to understand the expectations of each online class.
There are also many ways to contact your instructor during online classes. Interaction is possible through email, discussion boards and office hours. Read through your class syllabus to see which option offers the best way for the two of you to communicate. Be sure to check out what courses are offered as online classes are always available for student throughout any school year.
Hybrid
Another type of class always offered is a hybrid class. These classes combine face-to-face lecture and remote learning components. Registering for classes will have this format listed as 'blended' or 'hybrid.'
Some sections of hybrid classes may use cohorts, or groups of students, to decide which days are for face-to-face lectures and which ones could be done remotely. Hybrid classes may also incorporate Zoom lectures into the course work based on the cohorts.
A hybrid class format gives you the opportunity to speak with your instructor directly during class and additionally through office hours or a scheduled appointment. Check your university email and class information on D2L to find out exactly how your course will function.
Hyflex
Hyflex courses are a new form of classes created in order to meet COVID-19 restrictions in classroom sizes. This type of class also has a combination of face-to-face lecture and remote learning components. These classes were originally meant to be offered as a face-to-face lecture in a typical semester but were moved to the hyflex format.
Similar to the hybrid format, some sections of hyflex classes may use cohorts to decide what days are meant for an in-person class and which days are done remotely. This option also allows students to have the option of attending class in the classroom, remotely or through a recorded lecture.
Hyflex classes also allow the chance to interact with your instructor during an in-person class as well as during office hours, a scheduled appointment or through Zoom. Be sure to look out for classroom updates or information on the format of your class from your instructor either on D2L or in your university email.
It is possible to register for a class intended for in-person lecture but later changes. Watch your class homepage on D2L for information about how your class will function in either online (asynchronous), hybrid (combination), hyflex (combination) or in-person formats. | eng | eefad3d6-ccfc-401d-897c-9a0ac613abfa | https://rabbitfood.sdstate.edu/academics/in-person-online-hybrid-or-hyflex-classes-choose-your-best-fit |

Lyrica Can Be Highly Effective For Fibromyalgia
What Is Fibromyalgia?
Fibromyalgia causes many sufferers to experience significant pain, and the condition can be disabling. Typically, the pain only occurs at certain points on the body. Doctors still don't fully understand the causes of fibromyalgia.
However, there are certain factors that can make you more likely to develop it. Some examples of risk factors for fibromyalgia are arthritis, other conditions that cause severe pain, and a history of emotional or physical abuse.
It's thought that fibromyalgia is caused by the brain becoming over-sensitized to physical pain.
What Is Lyrica? How Does It Benefit Fibromyalgia Sufferers?
Lyrica is a medication called pregabalin. This is a central nervous system depressant. You can learn more about Lyrica in this video.
It works by reducing the activity of nerves that cause pain. The drug works on a neurotransmitter called GABA. It's pharmacologically similar to a medication called Gabapentin. However, the effects of Lyrica are stronger.
Is There A Generic Version Of Lyrica?
Unfortunately, there's no generic version of Lyrica. This is because Lyrica has a patent that prevents generic versions from being legally sold.
Some fraudulent online pharmacies have illegally sold a product that is often called "generic Lyrica". This is not the same as the medication that's prescribed, and it may be dangerous.
What Dosage Of Lyrics Is Prescribed For Fibromyalgia?
The effective dosage of Lyrica varies somewhat from one patient to another. According to Very Well, the daily dosage of Lyrica is generally between 300 and 600 milligrams per day.
Typically, patients with Lyrica are started on an extremely low dosage of the medication. Generally, this is around 75 milligrams. This helps to ensure that patients tolerate the medication well.
Is It Possible To Overdose On Lyrica?
According to Live Strong, an overdose of Lyrica can be serious. If you or someone you know may be experiencing a Lyrica overdose, it is important to get medical attention right away.
An overdose of Lyrica can cause muscle fibers to break down. This can cause the material to be deposited in the kidneys and lead to kidney failure.
How Do You Take Lyrica?
Lyrics are often prescribed an extended-release tablet. Therefore, you should not crush or break the pill. This could lead to an overdose of the medication.
If you forget to take the medication after your evening meal, you can take it at bedtime with a snack. If you forget to take it in the evening, you can take it in the morning.
According to WebMD, if you are taking the immediate-release tablet, you are likely to be prescribed the medication two or three times per day.
While it's generally prescribed in pill form, liquid versions of it are available. If you are using this type of Lyrica, measure the dosage using a specialized measuring spoon rather than a household spoon.
Are There Side Effects Of Lyrica?
According to RX List, it can cause side effects. Often, the side effects are relatively mild. However, more serious side effects can occur. Here are some potentially serious side effects of Lyrica:
Allergic Reactions: In rare cases, allergic reactions to Lyrica can be fatal.
While this is not common, it's important to immediately stop taking Lyrica and consult your doctor if you experience swelling of the eyes, face, lips, throat, tongue, or nose.
Skin Problems In Those With Diabetes: Lyrica can worsen the skin manifestations of diabetes. Therefore, it's important to tell your doctor right away if you have any sores, redness, or other problems with your skin.
Mental Health Problems: You may experience significant changes in your mental health while taking the drug. In some cases, this could lead to depression, suicidal thinking, or mania or anxiety.
Withdrawal Effects From Going Off Of The Medication: If you stop taking the medication abruptly, you might experience a headache, nausea, vomiting, nightmares, insomnia, irritability, and tingling sensations.As a result, you should not stop taking Lyrica without talking to your physician.

What Does Lyrics Interact With?
Lyrica interacts with certain medications as well as alcohol. If Lyrica is combined with alcohol, it can depress the central nervous system to the point of preventing normal heart rate and respiration. This can be fatal in some cases.
Also, Lyrica interacts with other central nervous system depressants, such as benzodiazepines. These are some important examples of medications that Lyrica interacts with:
Blood Pressure Medications: Lyrica can lower blood pressure since it is a central nervous system depressant. If the two are taken together, it can cause blood pressure to dip dangerously low.
Narcotic Pain Relievers: The reason why these medications interact is that they are both central nervous system depressants.
Medications For Diabetes: It can interact with certain medications that are used to treat diabetes. Some of the most noteworthy examples of this are pioglitazone and rosiglitazone.
Antihistamines
How Effective Is Lyrica?
According to Fibromyalgia News Today, Lyrica can be highly effective. However, the effectiveness of the medication varies significantly from one patient to another.
It's important to be aware that Lyrica does not cure fibromyalgia. Many patients still have some fibromyalgia symptoms while taking Lyrica.
In addition, it can take a significant amount of time for patients to receive the full benefit of the drug. While the amount of time that it takes to experience the full benefits varies from one patient to another, it can be several weeks or more determine the cause of fibromyalgia but there are various factors that contribute to itOne Comment

LAPEER, Mich. — Renee Thompson couldn't figure out why she was so sick all the time.
She suffered from chest pains, nausea and headaches. She'd be so tired she could barely walk. When she stayed home, she'd just get sicker.
Renee Thompson at her kitchen sink. Water from one faucet contains arsenic, used for washing. A second faucet provides filtered water free of the toxin, used for drinking and cooking. David Heath/Center for Public Integrity
Thompson went to 13 doctors near her home in Ortonville, Michigan, before one finally decided to test her urine for arsenic. Her levels were in what was considered the normal range, but Dr. Edward Adler told her that many of her symptoms matched the profile of somebody poisoned by the toxin.
"I called my husband that day and said, 'Please bring home water, because we can't drink the water in the house anymore until we know this for sure,' " Thompson recalls. "We then checked the water in the house, and we found that we had high levels of arsenic in our well water."
Soon, Thompson was feeling much better. This was nearly 20 years ago. Today, she and her two daughters say their health has improved dramatically since they switched to filtered water.
Arsenic is an element found in the Earth's crust, and it finds its way into food, water, soil and air. In 2000, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considered tightening the drinking water standard for arsenic — then at 50 parts per billion — to as low as 3 ppb.
Because of fears about the cost, the agency ultimately set the standard at 10 ppb, though it said there was essentially no safe level of the toxin.
Some scientists believe there are harmful effects from arsenic below the drinking water standard. These include bladder, lung, liver and skin cancer, heart disease, strokes and diabetes. Recent studies have suggested that arsenic may cause IQ deficits in children and may be harmful to fetal development.
June 28, 2014
Arsenic makes up part of the Earth's crust and is commonly found in groundwater. In 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency lowered the drinking-water standard from 50 parts per billion of arsenic to 10 parts per billion. The agency had initially proposed a limit of five parts per billion but faced criticism that it would be too costly for water companies to hit that target.
This map is based on arsenic readings from 45,000 wells collected by the United States Geological Survey throughout the country going back four decades. In addition, the states of Texas and Minnesota provided data gathered on arsenic in private wells. In several other states, few readings were available.
The easiest way to curb your exposure to arsenic is by paying attention to your drinking water. Federal law requires water companies to disclose the amount of arsenic in tap water annually. Often, you can go to the water company's website to find that information. Or, you could request the annual report over the phone.
If you drink water from a private well, it's unlikely that you've ever had it tested for arsenic. More than 40 million Americans drink from such wells; of those, the U.S. Geological Survey estimates that as many as 3 million consume water that wouldn't meet the EPA standard.
Arsenic is especially common throughout the western United States. Some states have hot spots, such as Michigan's "thumb" region, northwest of Detroit, where Thompson lives. Maine has some as well. Andy Smith, a toxicologist with the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention, estimates that about 80,000 people in the state drink water from private wells and another 9,000 drink public water that exceeds 5 ppb of arsenic. In isolated cases, wells in the state have had readings far above the EPA standard.
"When I look at our public water supply data and I don't see a lot of arsenic exposure, even in the 5 to 10 range, but I know I've got half the population of this state on private wells that still have not even tested their well, I know I have arsenic levels that are way above" the EPA limit, Smith said.
He suggests that private well owners get their water tested. Some states will do the tests for minimal cost. In Maine, the CDC charges $20.
If you discover that your water has arsenic in it, you can install a reverse osmosis filter next to your kitchen sink. Prices start at about $200.
"It's important to recognize that the current drinking water standard of 10 micrograms per liter was never claimed to be a safe level," Smith said. "It is a risk-management decision that was made by U.S. EPA under the Safe Drinking Water Act that takes into account the health effects but also the cost of mitigating [them]."
Conventional wisdom holds that arsenic doesn't cause acute symptoms except at extremely high levels. But Dr. Michael Harbut, who specializes in occupational medicine in the Detroit area, said he's seen scores of patients with classic symptoms of acute arsenic poisoning from drinking well water. You can find out if you have arsenic in your body with a simple urine test.
Harbut said that when patients with elevated levels of arsenic in their urine switched to distilled water, their symptoms eventually went away.
"If you start drinking distilled water you'll cut the [arsenic] level in your body in half by this time tomorrow," he said.
Even if you eliminate arsenic from your drinking water, you'll still consume some in your food. Consumer Reports tested rice and rice products and found what it described as "worrisome levels" of arsenic, greater than five ppb. The magazine provides a list of recommendations for limiting consumption of rice. They include cooking a cup of rice in six cups of water to remove more arsenic and occasionally substituting other grains, such as quinoa.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has said there is no immediate health risk from eating rice, but the agency is continuing to explore whether there may be long-term risks.
The FDA also has been looking at arsenic in apple and pear juice. Recent tests showed that all samples of apple juice would meet the drinking water standard. However, past tests found some juice that exceeded that standard. So, the agency has proposed a new standard for apple juice that matches the drinking water standard | eng | f9b11ac3-e5b8-4cd9-b192-ca36b62257e5 | https://publicintegrity.org/environment/what-to-do-if-your-drinking-water-contains-arsenic/ |
1 First of all, you can sleep on it.
Your guests can sleep on it. Kids love sleeping on it. If you sit on it, you might fall asleep too, so just be warned.
It measures 75″ in diameter (a little over 6 feet), so no, it's not the biggest bed in the world. If you are over 6 feet in height, you probably shouldn't torture yourself by sleeping on this lounger full time. (Note: the headrest is detachable, so you can remove it and add more space to the sleeping surface.)
However, many people are shorter than 6 feet, and I would bet that plenty of people would jump at the chance to sleep on a round mattress. It's simply a rare opportunity.
2. Second, it's great for watching movies.
Watching TV or movies on a sofa or chair is fine… until you've tried an ultra lounger. Sprawl yourself across this giant inflatable chair, or share it with a friend if you feel inclined.
It's somewhat like a bed, except that you can easily pick up and carry the inflatable daybed to wherever you want to put it. (You can even take it outside and create an outdoor movie screen or just watch the stars.)
3. Third, you can throw it in the pool.
You heard me right. You can instantly turn your indoor inflatable into an outdoor pool toy because it's waterproof and obviously, it floats.
Get your tan on, read a book or take a nap. The important thing to keep in mind is to not get off the lounger because if you do, someone else is likely to get on it and then you're stuck. Unless you have a secret backup, that is.
4. Fourth, it makes great patio furniture.
The reinforced, laminated base along with the waterproof flocked top surface make these round loungers ideal for outdoor use. They are durable, so they stand up to the elements, and many argue that they are more comfortable than regular chaise lounge chairs.
Don't forget your air pump!
They are also extremely lightweight, which therefore makes them easy to move. Plus, you can deflate them for taking on camping trips, beach days, relaxing at the park and more.

What Is A Permaculture Keyline Design?
Landowners all around the world are seeking more sustainable, cost-effective ways to manage their properties. Carbon emissions and a loss of biodiversity are common side effects of traditional land management styles. Permaculture keyline design, on the other hand, is a land management practice that helps to combat these issues.
Keyline design is a land management practice that uses the natural ridges and contours of a property's topography to slow, spread, and sink rainwater. Doing so allows rainfall to spread more evenly throughout the property, resulting in less runoff, more drought tolerance, and improved soil fertility.
In the rest of this article, we'll discuss the history of keyline design, the key aspects of applying it to a piece of land, and the benefits it can offer.
The Origins of Keyline Design
The concept of keyline design was developed in the 1940s in New South Wales, Australia, by a man named P. A. Yeomans. In Australia, it's difficult to retain water or improve the soil because of erratic weather patterns. Long droughts are followed by torrential rainfall, leading to massive runoff and soil erosion.
Yeomans, a geologist and an engineer, developed keyline design in an effort to utilize the land's natural topography to circumvent these issues on his farms.
What Are The Steps of Creating A Keyline Design?
The first step in creating a keyline design is to understand the topography of the land and where water naturally collects. To do this, look at a topographical map of your property and take note of these characteristics:
Keypoints
A keypoint is the spot on a slope where the slope transitions from being convex to concave. In simple terms, this is where a hill begins to flatten out.
Keylines
To create keylines, a true contour (level) line is formed and marked going in both directions from the keypoint. Roads, treelines, or other landmarks are often placed along the keyline to permanently notate the location of the keyline.
Keyline Cultivation
After marking the keyline, plowing the land can begin. Each row is plowed parallel to the keyline, ignoring the normal contours of the land.
According to Yeomans in a 1955 video explaining keyline design, the first year of cultivation is called the "conversion year". The ground is plowed several times during this year to help break up the heavily-compacted soil. In the following years, the ground is cultivated once per year.
What Does Keyline Cultivation Achieve?
Water naturally takes the shortest path to the bottom of a hill. This means that, in areas with steep hills and flat valleys, the water will travel down a single line on the hill and collect in the lowest part of the valley.
When this happens, little to no water is absorbed on the hill, while the valley below is flooded with water. This leads to soil erosion, a decrease in root depth, and a loss of nutrients in the soil.
Keyline cultivation helps to change the flow of water down steep hills. The trenches and ridges in the soil created by the plow give rainfall a slower route to take down the hillside. The water moves more slowly because it takes a less angled path down the hill.
Because the water is slowed down, it's able to sink deeper into the soil. The altered water path also allows moisture to soak into ground that would otherwise remain barren and dry.
Do You Need A Special Plow For Keyline Cultivation?
While any plow can technically be used for keyline cultivation, P. A. Yeomans developed a specialized plow (aptly named the Yeomans plow) for this purpose.
The Yeomans plow works the ground without turning over the soil, meaning there are no clumps of dirt beside each of the keyline trenches. This is incredibly helpful because it causes less disturbance to the soil structure and prevents nutrients from being exposed to the elements.
According to Keyline Water Management, a field research company, this specialized plow also requires fewer horsepower to pull than other types of subsoilers. Because it can be pulled by a smaller tractor than other plows, the Yeomans plow is more accessible to small-scale landowners.
Irrigation Dams
Creating water storage areas is a crucial part of keyline design. This allows for water that overflows the keyline trenches to be captured and used during dry spells.
One of the easiest places to place a dam is at the keypoint of the valley. Because the keypoint is above the lowest part of the valley, water collected here can be transferred to lower elevations by gravity. Piping and valves are often used to easily move water from the dams to lower pastures.
Because there will be water runoff lower than the keypoint dam, another dam is often constructed near the lowest point in a valley. This will collect excess water between the keypoint dam and the bottom of the hill.
These ponds store water that can then be used to irrigate pastures or water livestock during a drought. In lands not managed by keyline design, this water is typically lost through runoff. Not only does this runoff reduce the amount of water available to the land, but it also carries away topsoil and nutrients.
What Are The Benefits of Keyline Design?
It's clear that implementing keyline design on your property helps with water retention, but what are the long-lasting effects of this land management style?
Decreased soil erosion
As mentioned above, excessive water runoff facilitates soil erosion. This creates a negative feedback loop; when soil erodes, there is less to hold it in place, creating more erosion.
Because keyline design offers another route for water to take downhill, the overflow of water is greatly reduced. This results in less soil and water being carried down the hill.
The decrease in erosion also benefits nearby streams and bodies of water. Less erosion equals less sediment being deposited into waterways, helping to keep them clean and healthy.
Increased drought tolerance
The increased water retention, both beneath the surface of the soil and in irrigation dams, helps to make a property more drought tolerant. Water held in the soil lasts longer because it can sink deeper into the ground where it's less likely to evaporate. When a dry season persists, pastures and livestock can be watered with the irrigation dams.
Increased carbon sequestration
The Yeomans plow plays a crucial role in the reduction of carbon in the atmosphere. When the plow works the ground, the soil is aerated.
This aeration gives plant matter (carbon) room to travel down deeper below the surface, where it decomposes. The buried carbon is then made available to growing plants, which helps create strong root systems and thriving plants.
Sinking carbon into the soil is a fantastic way to rapidly improve the fertility of the land while also lowering contributions to carbon in the atmosphere. This method of land management builds topsoil at much quicker rates than typical soil-building management practices.
Increased Yields
Because keyline design helps to create healthy, fertile soils, those who implement it on their properties experience higher yields. More abundant, dense crops equal a greater harvest and allow for a greater number of livestock per acre.
Increased independence
Keyline design is a sustainable way to become self-sufficient. The heightened water retention means less water is needed from outside sources, such as wells and municipal water systems.
Because the topography of the land is used to retain water and increase the nutrient levels in the soil, the land will largely care for itself. It requires less and less maintenance as time goes on.
The improved fertility of the soil also proves to be money-saving over the long run. Chemical pesticides and fertilizers can be very expensive. Thankfully, lands managed with keyline design principles rarely need to be treated.
Increased cooperation between farmers and environmentalists
Another important benefit of implementing keyline design is that it improves the relationship between farmers and environmentalists. Keyline design provides benefits for both farmers and environmentalists, creating a common ground for both parties.
Conclusion
P. A. Yeomans' keyline design principles helped to show the world the benefits of sustainable agriculture. His understanding of geometry and geology allowed him to manage his land in a way that exponentially increased its fertility, yield, and water retention.
Though it was first implemented nearly 75 years ago, keyline design has skyrocketed in popularity in the past two decades. As farmers become more aware of unsustainable farming practices and seek to find a better way, they are increasingly moving towards this land management style.
Keyline design can be used on all properties, whether they are large-scale farming and ranching operations or small hobby farms. Even land without large ridges and valleys can benefit from keyline cultivation and planning.
Keyline design can seem complicated, but it's actually quite simple to apply. It may take a few years to make noticeable improvements, but as time progresses, the benefits are unmistakable. The improvements to the land and environment pay for themselves rather quickly, making keyline design a choice even small landowners should consider | eng | ba9002ab-11c1-488e-a776-3d970a978f17 | https://redemptionpermaculture.com/what-is-a-permaculture-keyline-design/ |

What is SOC 2 Type II Compliance?
According to a recent IBM report, cybersecurity breaches cost an average of $4.2 million in 2021, making data security a critical concern for businesses across all industries. In particular, organizations that outsource essential business operations to third-party vendors like SaaS and cloud computing services should be even more concerned about data security. When these third-party vendors mishandle the data and networks entrusted to them, it leaves your organization vulnerable to cyberattacks. To avoid this, your organization needs an auditing procedure to ensure providers manage your data securely. SOC 2 Type II compliance is one such procedure and a minimal requirement for a security-conscious organization with SaaS providers.
In this guide, we discuss SOC 2 Type II compliance, its benefits, and how to attain continuous compliance.
Let's dive in!
What is SOC 2 Type II Compliance?
SOC 2 is a data security procedure created by the American Institute of CPAs (AICPA) and outlines the principles for managing customer data. The criteria are based on five "trust service principles"—confidentiality, privacy, security, processing integrity, and availability. Below is an overview of the trust service principles:
Unlike other compliance regulations like PCI DSS, which has stiff requirements, SOC 2 reports are exclusive to each organization. Depending on your organization's setup and business practices, you'll need to design unique controls to comply with at least one of the trust service principles. The internal reports provide you and regulatory agencies with critical information on how your service providers manage data.
You do not need to meet all the trust services criteria to achieve SOC 2 Type II compliance. Only the security criterion is necessary. The other criteria typically become added to the audit report to answer the risk-related questions received from clients or to highlight the unique risks facing your organization. For instance, if the availability of healthcare data is critical to a service offering, the availability criteria should get included in your SOC 2 report besides the security criteria.
SOC 2 Type I vs. Type II Reports
Since the SOC 2 auditing and reporting process typically gets exercised according to Type I and Type II reports, the two often get confused with each other. The main similarity is that they provide an organization with independent service reports highlighting the controls in place.
Nonetheless, timing is what distinguishes SOC 2 Type I and Type II reports. A Type II report can only be undertaken at a specified point, whereas a Type II report can be conducted over a longer period, usually six months. Moreover, SOC Type II reports evaluate control systems and describe the service tests regarding the organization's operational efficiency.
Who Needs SOC 2 Type II Compliance?
Businesses are increasingly outsourcing critical services besides switching their workspaces to the cloud. This has heightened the need for SOC 2 reports because they're the only way a service organization can prove to its stakeholders that its services are offered securely and reliably.
SOC 2 Type II compliance is for organizations that process and store sensitive customer data. Data centers, SaaS companies, and managed services providers are the primary recipients of SOC 2 reports. In addition, SOC 2 Type II compliance is the industry standard for information security. For this reason, non-conventional service providers such as law firms, cryptocurrency exchanges, and consultancies are also starting to receive compliance reports.
Customer Demand
Every organization should prioritize protecting its network and customer data from unauthorized access. Without SOC 2 attestation, customers will always have second thoughts about trusting you with their data. Besides, non-compliance could point to a poor cybersecurity posture, which is bad for business.
Cost Effectiveness
A common misconception is that SOC Type II reports are costly. Moreover, the fact that these compliance reports aren't legally mandatory could tempt you into overlooking them. Having SOC 2 Type II compliance shows you've implemented the necessary security measures. Since the cost of cyber breaches keeps rising, an SOC 2 audit report can help you avoid costly breaches.
Business Advantages
Whether you're a SaaS provider or a healthcare organization, SOC 2 compliance gives you a business advantage over competitors that can't prove compliance. In particular, the certification comes in handy when signing service-level agreements, and you need to prove that clients' data will remain private and secure.
Peace of Mind
With SOC 2 Type II compliance, you get the peace of mind that your networks are secure. Passing the audit attests to your enhanced security posture. You won't have to worry about breaches in your systems and networks.
How to Attain SOC 2 Type II Compliance
SOC 2 compliance may seem stressful, but it offers numerous benefits. Since SOC 2 compliance is voluntary, you must consider how it fits into your existing compliance program. Generally, these are the steps to take to ensure continuous SOC 2 Type II compliance:
Identify Your Scope
Identifying the scope of your audit is critical to its long-term success. Including too much means you'll waste time and resources on procedures you don't need. Similarly, narrowing down your scope means you risk leaving out essential aspects that matter to your customers and stakeholders.
The five trust services criteria should help you scope your audit. Not every audit should cover the five criteria. Therefore, you should determine what you'll audit, then identify the policies, procedures, and systems to include in the audit.
Gap Analysis and Control Mapping
Before you start your audit, undertake a readiness assessment of the organization's control environment. It will help you pinpoint gaps between the control environment and the trust services criteria. In doing so, you'll tell whether the controls can sufficiently meet the auditor's expectations. In addition, the assessment helps you to plug existing gaps in your compliance posture, enabling a more effective audit.
After assessing your control environment, align it with the trust services criteria. You should start preparing applicable documentation, including your organization's data security policies. The mapping will provide the foundation required to prove that you have the necessary controls in place and that your organization meets all SOC 2 criteria.
External Reporting
It's essential to find a credible partner for your SOC 2 Type II audits. Ideally, you should leave the audit to a CPA firm, but that doesn't necessarily mean that every firm will get the job done right. In this regard, identify an audit form that understands the specific needs of your organization and its industry.
It's equally advisable to forge a relationship with external auditors who will undertake an independent audit and provide an opinion on whether they agree with the CPA firm's findings. Ultimately, you'll have a thorough audit of your control environment, which helps achieve your compliance certification.
Identify the Technologies That Support Continuous Compliance
Like other compliance regulations, SOC 2 Type II certification isn't a one-off undertaking. Consider investing in a GRC tool for compliance management. It will enable you to manage the framework, assign and monitor control gaps, collect evidence for attestation, and create regular reports. With such a solution, subsequent SOC audits will be turnkey because your control environment is monitored constantly. Rather than playing catch-up, your focus will shift to gathering documented evidence constantly.
Conclusion
As your organization shifts its workspaces to the cloud and outsources critical services to MSPs, its regulatory requirements expand similarly. SOC 2 Type II compliance may not be mandatory, but it's critical because it attests to your organization's commitment to data security.

INDUSTRIALIZATION
Industrialization brought about many
social and economic changes including where people lived as
well as how they lived. As a period, industrialization
began at different times for different countries all over the world.
Migration and immigration increased dramatically as a result of a because of new jobs that became available in the world's developing industrial centers.
IMPORTANT PEOPLE…1. Adam Smith
2. Thomas Malthus
3. Karl Marx
4. Jethro Tull
5. James Watt
6. Edward Jenner
7. Henry Bessemer
ADAM SMITH Has been referred to as the father of
economics.
His book An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
described various aspects of the market economy.
Smith believed in a free market economy, arguing that only free market economies would
lead to a productive society. He wanted to see a shift
from the older style of mercantilism to a more laissez-faire Laissze-faire (french for "let do") approach in regards to economic activity.
WRITE A FEW WORDS…OF WHAT MARKET ECONOMY MEANS
WHAT IS LAISSEZ- FAIR…. (KNOW THE DIFFERENCE)
THOMAS MALTHUS
was an English political economist and demographer
studied population growth. He focused on what caused populations to
increase faster than the supply of food could be produced.
One of his writings, An Essay on the Principle of Population, discussed population growth and its negative effects on society, namely the widespread poverty faced by citizens.
KARL MARX 1. A German
a. philosopherb. theoristc. sociologist
2. Marx is said to be the father of communism.
3. Marx was a firm believer in a classless society (socialism).
4. His teachings influenced many communist leaders such as Vladimir Lenin and Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union.
5. The Communist Manifesto, an essential piece of work to the socialist movement, was co-written by another German philosopher, Friedrich Engels.
JETHRO TULL
1.was a wealthy farmer who lived in Great Britain and experimented with ways to increase agricultural production.
2.Tull invented the a)seed drill,b) a horse drawn machine that planted seeds one by one in well-spaced rows and at a good depth in the soil.
JAMES WATT 1. invented a steam engine in 1769
that produced more power than anything had before.
a. Steam allowed factories to be built anywhere,
b. when they had previously needed to be built by water sources to use water power.
c. Steam was also the source for the greatest transportation inventions of the Industrial Revolution:
The railroad locomotive and the steamboat.
EDWARD JENNER
• A British doctor who developed the world's
first successful vaccine.
• In 1796, he created a vaccine to prevent smallpox•a disease that was quite deadly during this time period.• Jenner's vaccine was a significant medical breakthrough that saved millions of lives.
INDUSTRIALIZATION CONT…GREAT BRITAIN3. This meant Great Britain had an advantage
a. Why…..? because it had the resources to fuel industrialization at a time when most other
nations did not.
4. Therefore, the Industrial Revolution in Great Britain is
normally referred to as the "First Industrial Revolution.
INDUSTRIALIZATION IN DIFFERENT NATIONS….CONTINENTAL EUROPE
1. France and Germany both followed Britain's example and began industrializing in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
2. Industrial growth in France grew slowly in the late 1700s, but the growth was steady into 1800s.
3. Germany, however, grew explosively beginning in the mid-1800s and became the leader of industrialization by the beginning of the 1900s.
4. One of the reasons for this was that Germany's access to the Ruhr Valley and Saar Valley, river areas that were rich with coal and iron resources.
5. Both materials are used in many industrial products, and are particularly important in the production of steel.
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION UNITED STATES
• The United States began to industrialize in the early 1800s.
• Due to the establishment of a stable, democratic government, the economy of the U.S. grew explosively during the early to mid-1800s.
• Eli Whitney helped this process with the invention of interchangeable parts,• making production easier and cheaper • as people could simply change a single part that needed to
be replaced instead of having to repair the entire machine or object
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION UNITED STATES….
• The United States also shifted from being an agricultural society to an industrial society• This is because increasing industrialization meant that agriculture became more mechanized. •As machines did more of the harvesting • This led to a dramatic increase in urbanization as people left rural areas and flocked to the cities looking for jobs in factories.
INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA The term "serf" refers to the status
of peasants under the feudal system. Feudalism---- Peasants were held in a
type of modified slavery and forced to work farmland for their landowning masters.
In 1861, responding to many calls for reform, Tsar Alexander II abolished serfdom. This helped the process of
industrialization in Russia as many newly-freed serfs traveled to cities and worked in factories.
Russia would not fully industrialize until the twentieth century under the Soviet Union.
Communism is a theoretical economic system based on the principles of socialism.
Socialism - It can be defined as a system in which the central government plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian, party holds power.
The goal --- of this system is progression toward a higher
social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.
2. Utopianism was another response to the social inequalities of capitalism.
• How does it relate to Socialism---- Utopian ideas center on making a society in which everyone has equal benefits.
SOCIAL DEMOCRACY…
Social democracy---People who believe that the government taking an active role in the protection of its citizens.
URBANIZATION
Urbanization was largely a result of increasing industrialization and can be defined as the development of rural areas into urban areas. As fewer people were needed to work on farms, many flocked to cities to find jobs. Growth in urban centers in countries like England was directly influenced by the industries that were found there. Manchester, England, for example, developed because of its textile industry.
FACTORY SYSTEM
The factory system is a method of manufacturing that involves bringing workers and machines into one building in order to make the production of goods more efficient.
In the domestic system, people worked from home or in small workshops using simple machines and hand tools in order to produce goods.
The factory system grew in England in the beginning stages of the Industrial Revolution.
RISE OF THE MIDDLE CLASS
The developments of the Industrial Revolution also resulted in the growth of the middle class. Middle class occupations included jobs such as the foremen of a factory or office clerks. Life for people in the middle class became better and as they had more money, they also had more time for leisure. Many families found they had more time to take a vacation or visit the beach, a development that was also encouraged by better transportation technologies. The growth of the middle class also coincided with more women being able to stay home. It was considered a sign of status if a family could afford for a wife to stay at home. Poor families, on the other hand, found that they had little to no leisure time and continued to rely on two incomes.
WORKING CONDITIONS
By the late 1800s, many people worked in factories under terrible conditions. Children from poor families skipped school to work in dangerous factories for very little money. Women and children were both paid significantly less than men. Factories also did not have safety requirements, and many injuries occurred on the job. Those who sustained injuries were left to pay their medical bills without any assistance from their company. Factories forced their employees to work twelve, fourteen, and sixteen hour days or more for at least six days of the week. Some factories employed the sweatshop technique for their workers. In sweatshops, women and children worked long hours, but instead of being paid by the hour, they were paid based on how much work they did.
GROWTH OF THE LABOR MOVEMENT
These working conditions slowly started to change as labor unions emerged in the late 1800s. In the United States, groups like the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor formed to negotiate better working conditions like higher wages and shorter hours. The American Federation of Labor was formed in 1886, and Samuel Gompers was the president of the organization. Gompers became the leading spokesman during the American labor movement.
In many parts of Europe, poor working conditions led to labor movements that attempted to reform their governments. Many reformers began to speak out against capitalism as industrialization spread. These reformers, known as socialists, wanted to end private ownership of businesses and industries in hopes that government-owned businesses would treat workers better. One German philosopher, Karl Marx, asked for workers to unite in revolution to bring down capitalism.
POLLUTION
Pollution damages the health of people who live in it. During the Industrial Revolution, people who lived in cities were forced to be in environments where the air and water were polluted. Black smog filled the skies of these cities, and water was often not drinkable. This made life even harder for factory workers who worked long weeks and earned little money. | eng | a32a8bdf-f44d-4348-b9b2-380945b825c9 | https://fdocuments.us/document/impact-of-the-industrial-revolution.html |
6 Things to Remember When Searching for a Diamond
Buying a diamond for the first time is an exciting adventure.
Sometimes though, information overload can stifle your ability to make a decision, or high-pressure sales tactics from certain types of jewelers can lead to making decisions in haste. Before you even stand before a diamond showcase, educate yourself on what to look for when shopping for gemstones, especially diamonds.
Whether purchasing a diamond for any piece of jewelry, be it a one-of-a-kind engagement ring or a re-design of a family heirloom, the goal is the same. You want to buy a quality stone that fits your budget, which will wow your loved one (or yourself). With this in mind, we have some tips to prepare you for your diamond search.
6 Things to Remember When Searching for a Diamond
Learn the Four Cs – Cut, Color, Clarity and Carat – The quality of a diamond is judged on these four attributes. Each category has a scale on which the diamond gets ranked. If you want to learn more about the four Cs, read our article, Shopping for Diamonds.
Decide What You Want – Determine the shape, carat weight and color of the diamond you're looking for. It will influence our next suggestion.
Create a Budget – Have a set budget in mind before heading out to shop. If you cannot find what you want within your price range, consider adjusting your expectations on the rating of color, clarity and If you want a one-carat diamond, think about shopping for a stone 10% or less in weight. It is close enough in size and can save you money. Discuss the setting or mount with your jeweler – it can enhance the look of any stone with optical illusion. Be willing to get creative to stay on budget.
Look for a GIA-Certified Jeweler – Established in 1931, the Gemological Institute of America(GIA) is the foremost authority on diamonds, gems and The non-profit organization focuses on the education and standardization of the jewelry and gemstone profession. When shopping, look for a jeweler who is a graduate of the GIA training program (like Indy Facets). We will not only educate you about diamonds, we'll demonstrate the four Cs of a diamond and assist you in staying within your budget – while getting you the gemstone you totally want.
Obtain a Diamond Grading Report – This document includes an appraisal of the diamond, a diagram of the clarity characteristics and a graph outlining its proportions. It serves as proof from a jeweler that the quality of the stone is as described.
Buy Insurance – Protect your investment with an insurance policy to cover any loss or damage to the jewelry. An appraisal of your diamond is needed to get a policy.
Define Your Shopping Experience
Searching for the perfect diamond embodies more than just shopping for a quality stone. It is also about your overall shopping experience. You want to work with a reputable jeweler, who takes the time to explain the complexities of diamonds, gemstones, jewelry-making and custom design so that you can make an informed decision about your diamond selection. Being able to discuss ideas, one-on-one with them, makes you feel a part of the design process. Yes, buying a diamond is about finding the highest quality stone possible for the right price. It is also about working with an experienced jeweler to find the right gemstone and create a unique work of art that stuns the lucky recipient into uttering one word: yes | eng | 9f93c47c-0ea8-42fe-badb-2f93594e04e2 | https://indyfacets.com/blog/6-things-to-remember-when-searching-for-a-diamond/ |

How to Rev Match in a Manual Car
The best way to rev match in a manual car is to downshift through the gears as you approach a corner. This will help you slow the car down without using the brakes and keep the engine speed up so you can accelerate out of the turn. To do this, you'll need to listen to the engine and match the RPMs with the speed of the car.
Get your car up to speed in the gear you want to downshift into
Lift off the throttle and push in the clutch pedal just before you reach the RPM that you want to be at in the lower gear
While holding the clutch pedal down, use your other foot to blip/rev match the throttle so that the engine speed is now at the correct RPM for the lower gear
Push in the shifter and release the clutch pedal while still giving it gas so that you don't stall out
Rev-Matching + Heel and Toe Downshifting – POV Tutorial
Can You Rev Match With the Clutch I?
No, you cannot rev match with the clutch in. Rev matching is a technique used by drivers to ensure a smooth shift when downshifting. The idea is to blip the throttle just before engaging the lower gear, which brings the engine speed up to match that of the wheels.
This prevents the jolts and jerks that can occur when shifting gears without rev matching. In order to do this, the clutch must be disengaged (i.e., in).
What Does Rev Match Do in a Manual?
When you downshift in a manual transmission car, you need to blip the throttle to match the engine speed to the new wheel speed. This process is called rev matching, and it prevents the car from jerking or lurching when you downshift.
There are two ways to rev match: manually or automatically.
If you're doing it manually, you'll need to press the clutch pedal and use your right foot to blip the throttle just before you release the clutch pedal. Some cars have an automatic rev-matching feature that does this for you; all you need to do is hold down the brake pedal and shift into a lower gear.
Rev matching is important because it helps keep the car's engine from being damaged by sudden changes in RPMs (revolutions per minute).
It also makes driving a manual transmission car smoother and more enjoyable overall.
How Do You Rev a Manual Car?
There are a few ways to rev a manual car. The most common way is to push down on the accelerator pedal and then use the clutch to release the engine's power. This can be done by either dropping the clutch or feathering it.
Another way to rev a manual car is to hold the accelerator pedal down and use the gears to build up speed. This is known as gear-holding and is often used by racing drivers.
Do You Only Rev Match When Downshifting?
One of the most common questions I get as a driving instructor is whether or not you should only rev match when downshifting. The quick answer is no, but there's a bit more to it than that.
The purpose of rev matching is to ensure that the engine speed is matched to the speed of the wheels before you engage the clutch and shift gears.
This helps to avoid gear clash and makes for a smoother, more controlled gear change.
However, there are some circumstances where you may not need to rev match. For example, if you're simply slowing down and don't need to downshift, then there's no need to rev match.
Similarly, if you're coming to a stop and don't need to downshift into first gear, then there's also no need to rev match.
In general, though, it's always best practice to rev match whenever possible – especially when downshifting – as it'll help you maintain control of your car and make for smoother gear changes.
Credit:
How to Rev Match in an Automatic
When you're driving an automatic transmission car, there's a right way and a wrong way to downshift. The wrong way is to just slam on the brakes and hope that your car automatically shifts down for you; this can cause your engine to overrev and possibly damage your transmission. The right way is called "rev matching," and it's not difficult to do once you know how.
Here's what you need to do:
1.slow down gradually while simultaneously depressing the brake pedal.
2. When you're approaching the speed at which you want to shift down, begin lightly pressing the accelerator pedal so that the engine speed rises slightly above idle.
3. As you depress the brake pedal and prepare to shift into a lower gear, release the accelerator pedal briefly so that the engine speed falls back into line with the new gear ratio. This "blips" the throttle and preventsthe engine from lugging or stalling when it's shifted into a lower gear.
4. After you've shifted into a lower gear, slowly release the brake pedal and resume accelerating as normal.
That's all there is to it! With a little practice, rev matching will become second nature – and your car will thank you for it in both performance and longevity!
Conclusion
If you're driving a manual car, you'll need to learn how to rev match. This is when you shift gears without using the clutch. To do this, you'll need to keep the engine speed high enough so that it doesn't stall when you let off the gas.
Here's how to rev match:
1. Press the gas pedal and bring the RPMs up to where they need to be for the next gear.
2. Let off the gas and press in the clutch pedal all the way down.
3. While holding in the clutch pedal, use your other foot to move the shifter into place.
4. Once the shifter is in place, slowly release pressure on the clutch while still pressing down on the gas pedal. | eng | 4b544d7c-5142-49e3-88d2-ae016fc5a032 | https://carinfohut.com/how-to-rev-match-in-a-manual-car/ |
What can you do to ensure bone health as you age? Here are a few suggestions:
Exercise Regularly; Especially the Weight-Bearing Variety. In the past few decades, mounting evidence suggests that most people do not participate in enough physical exercise to support strong skeletal growth. A research review published in Sports Health emphasizes that weight-bearing exercises, especially those that include higher levels of strain such as running or jumping, can be effective in enhancing bone health and preventing future diseases and injury.
Eat Right and Take Bone-Building Supplements. Due to the mass consumption of processed, overcooked and nutrient-depleted foods, most people absorb and utilize too little calcium and vitamin D for good bone health – even if they're eating foods that are high in both. However, eating a diet that consists primarily of fresh organic fruits and vegetables will do the trick, since most contain healthy levels of calcium, vitamin D and many other beneficial vitamins and minerals readily absorbed by the body.
Dedicating oneself to getting enough calcium and vitamin D through an organic diet can be challenging, so supplementation becomes necessary. Remember that it's important to get adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D, since the latter improves absorption of the former.
What about dairy products? Contrary to popular belief and advertising, dairy products, including cow's milk, while containing high levels of calcium, are in a form that is not compatible with human digestion, assimilation and absorption. Typically, they also are high in saturated fat, can have high levels of pesticides, antibiotics and hormones, and if pasteurized, contain deactivated enzymes caused by high heat. Dairy products contain lactose, which many people have difficulty absorbing due to the lack of the digestive enzyme lactase.
Many bone diseases such as osteoporosis and osteopenia are preventable and treatable. Since there are no obvious warning signs for many bone ailments, it is important to be aware of the risks and be proactive in being responsible for one's own health primarily through diet, supplementation and resistance exercise.

Sustainable agriculture is a "mindset"
Formerly from England, a Manitoba farm couple signs a conservation agreement with DUC
Tony Prynne points past his house and a pond dotted with waterfowl, past the fence-line to his farmland along the Manitoba-Saskatchewan border.
"I've got no interest in draining the sloughs," he says. "I'm more than happy to see wildlife running around and flying around. I like it. It adds character to the land."
Tony and his wife Angela emigrated from the United Kingdom in 2001, leaving a picturesque region in southwest England to farm sheep and cattle in western Manitoba. They purchased a grain farm near McAuley and seeded the acres to grass for their livestock.
"I had this vision of being a stay-at-home farm mom," explains Angela over a cup of tea. "My mom didn't go out to work. She did the farming thing but we couldn't do that. We both had full time jobs on top of the farm, and two children. When we moved here, we thought 'that's it'! We've got six quarters of land…surely, I can stay home."
"Within a short time, we realized that wasn't the case," laughs Tony. "We gotta get a job."
Tony worked 10 years for a Saskatchewan grain farmer. The job helped pay the bills as the Prynnes built their own farm and herd. They also saw how agriculture and conservation on the Canadian prairies is different from their homeland.
In England, farms are much smaller and often bordered by hedges, which provide shelter to wildlife. The hedges are protected by law in many regions. In Canada, conservation has largely been left to private not-for-profit groups including Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC), who provide financial incentives to landowners to protect and restore habitat on their property.
In July 2022, the Prynnes committed to conserve 296 acres (120 hectares) of wetlands and grassland habitat on their farmland in Manitoba. They had previously protected land in Saskatchewan with DUC in 2021 and continue to own and farm all their conserved acres.
Conservation can be a touchy subject among farmers and ranchers, notes Mark Francis, DUC's manager of provincial operations in Manitoba. Some believe wetlands need to be drained and all available acres put into production, despite research showing enormous benefits to the land, wildlife and humans from retaining wetlands and native grasslands. Others worry that conservation agreements hurt land prices, even though studies have found the money received by a landowner from DUC over-compensates for any value lost when the property is sold.
"We always advise landowners to weigh all options," says Francis. "The one-time payment from a conservation agreement can be used for many things, including new investments, mortgage pay-downs or buying additional acres."
Tony and Angela plan to scale back their workload and spend more time with the grandkids. They also hope to return to England for the first time in 12 years.
With the teacups empty and the agreements signed, Tony offers a final thought about sustainability and conservation-friendly agriculture, shaped by farming 35 years on two continents.
"I think it's a mindset," says Tony. "We just like to keep the land as we see it. Preserving the land to its natural state and protecting it for future generations is important to us." | eng | 70ef3360-c62f-4724-a16e-697683134b6a | https://www.ducks.ca/stories/landowners/sustainable-agriculture-mindset/ |
The Intimate Bond: How Animals Shaped Human History
By Brian Fagan.
2015, Bloomsbury Press, 978-1-62040-5-727, $28 hb.
Reviewed by Tom Verde on September 9, 2020
"Few animals had a more profound effect on history" than the camel, says anthropologist Brian Fagan. It could carry twice as much as an ox, at twice the speed, and across greater distances than a donkey. Serving as a source of milk and as pack animals for nomads in the Arabian Peninsula as early as 3000 BCE, camels changed these people's lives and those in Saharan Africa with the invention of the camel saddle, as early as 1500 BCE. The subsequent incense trade, with camels as the key conveyors, linked southern Arabia with the Greco-Roman world, facilitating the exchange of goods and ideas. Fagan's study begins around 15,000 BCE, when humans domesticated dogs. Goats and sheep followed 5,000 years later in Southwest Asia and pigs came shortly after. Cattle were tamed around 9000 BCE in what is now Turkey. Donkeys, like camels, helped establish global markets. Beginning some 5,000 years ago Mesopotamians, Indo-Iranians, Hittites, Egyptians and Romans rose to power on the backs of and in chariots pulled by "the ass of foreign mountain countries," as Mesopotamians described the horse. | eng | 1c25172f-adf6-44cc-aaf9-2f3d42ae2787 | https://www.aramcoworld.com/Resources/Books-and-More/The-Intimate-Bond-How-Animals-Shaped-Human-History |

Butterflies and Bison - Beauty and the Beast
During a sunny Saturday while searching for the elusive Genesee bison, a seemingly insignificant insect stole the show. In one day, we must have seen a thousand painted lady butterflies perched on purple thistle and yellow rabbitbrush.
The painted lady prefers the warmer climate associated with the desert southwest and Mexico but after an especially wet winter, they have migrated north en masse. During the hurried return south this fall, their population has exploded.
Fueled by favorable weather conditions and abundant food, they are churning across the American landscape like a cloud of orange smoke. This rare phenomenon is one of nature's great spectacles, containing an air of mystery and unparalleled beauty.
As for the beasts, we found the buffalo grazing peacefully on a steep hillside near the forest's edge. At one time, more than a million of these impressive animals roamed without hinderance across the vast Great Plains.
With their numbers greatly reduced, the bison are now confined to public preserves or private ranches. On the other hand, the painted ladies are currently prospering as they can cover 100 miles per day while traveling freely across the entire continent.
These small creatures look fragile but they're actually quite resilient as the race across our rugged foothills at nearly 30 miles per hour. They don't have much time to waste because their brief lifespan only lasts for about fourteen days.
During their short existence on this earth, the painted lady butterflies flutter about with a joyful enthusiasm. When contemplating the impending future, take your cue from these fun-loving insects and always try to live your life to the fullest.

NASA: The most spectacular meteor shower in years will happen THIS day
According to NASA, in just about a week, Earth will be greeted by one of the brightest meteor showers of the year. Find out details about this meteor shower and when you can see it.
Earth has been given the opportunity to witness one of the most beautiful phenomena in the night sky in just a week's time. According to NASA, some of us will be witnessing one of the brightest and most powerful meteor showers in years. It was named Tau Herculids. Some scientists have even claimed that the event could be as intense as the Leonid meteor shower witnessed 20 years ago. And interestingly, this potentially spectacular meteor shower is caused by a fragmented comet that was once a faint spot only observed through telescopes. Keep reading to learn about this comet's fascinating journey into this dazzling meteor shower and know when we might witness it.

A small comet turns into a spectacular meteor shower
This particular comet, SW 3, was first discovered in 1930 by two German astronomers, Friedrich Carl Arnold Schwassmann and Arno Arthur Wachmann. The comet orbits the Sun once every 5.4 years and makes several passes close to Earth but is never visible to the naked eye. In fact, the comet was not seen again until 1979. But a few years later, things changed dramatically. In 1995, astronomers observed SW 3 and found that it was 6.5 degrees brighter than usual, increasing its luminosity almost 400 times! Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the meteorite was fragmented into 4 pieces.

When the comet breaks up, the released gases emit a light that is spectacular to see. But that's not the end of the story for the comet formerly known as SW 3. Over the years it has continued to break into more pieces, and now it's predicted to split into 70 smaller pieces. . According to NASA, this will be the first time since 1995 that the comet and Earth have come this close. And that makes this potential meteor shower both interesting and mysterious.

When can you see the meteor shower?
The Tau Herculids meteor shower is expected to pass by Earth at around 5:00 GMT (10:30 AM IST) on Tuesday, May 31. The meteor shower will be visible over large areas of the United States. Canada, Mexico and central South America as well as parts of West Africa will see meteor showers. Sadly, it will be daytime in India when that happens, the people of the country will miss the meteor shower. However, they can easily look up various live streams to watch the meteor shower from within their homes. | eng | 029c065b-4f3a-4109-8e97-225ff8ce921f | https://news7h.com/nasa-the-most-spectacular-meteor-shower-in-years-will-happen-this-day/ |
