What is an Escape Room ?
"An escape room, also known as an "escape game", is a physical adventure game in which players solve a series of puzzles and riddles using clues, hints, and strategy to complete the objectives at hand."
— Wikipedia
Escape Maze games each have completing the mission. Excitement builds as the clock ticks down and time runs out.
Strategies for playing an escape game room :
Pick Your Team
The people you bring with you to play in the escape room are your greatest asset. Their attitude, energy, skill set, and ability to work together will be one of the determining factors in successfully completing your mission. Your team should be made up of family members, friends, or coworkers who have different ways of looking at things and like puzzles. Some of the most successful teams are not always the " smartest". Common sense and street smarts can be very valuable. Your best team will have different skills but should have a similar attitude – want to play, ready to play and excited to complete the mission!
Get There 10 Minutes Early
Give yourself plenty of time to arrive before the escape game begins. Your team shouldn't be stressed about arriving late and the last thing you want to do is lose precious time in the room because your team was late. Arrive early enough to take care of any remaining payments, to get comfortable at our venue and to use the restroom if necessary before playing.
Be Clear About The Rules
Your Gamemaster will go over the rules before your escape game so that you will know what is allowed in the escape room. We are not trying to trick you. We are telling you the rules. When we say that items that are screwed down, glued down or stapled down are meant to stay down, we mean it. Having the Gamemaster enter your room to tell your team the rules again or to ask your team not to disassemble or break items that can affect your experience and those of future players will waste your game time. If you have any questions or concerns once you have been given the rules please ask. We are happy to go over them to clarify.
Pay Attention To The Intro Video
All of our escape rooms have a theme and story to immerse yourself into. The intro video will outline the mission you need to complete in order to escape the room – pay attention.
How to beat escape rooms during the game :
Search
Split up and open everything you can find. Open doors and desk drawers and books and boxes and cabinets and trunks and chests. Look under rugs and tables and chairs and anything else that's not nailed down, screwed down or stapled down. While we wouldn't go so far as to say the first few minutes make or break your ability to succeed, they are very important towards setting the tone of your escape experience. Start strong by scattering your team around the room, but make sure that you put all the clues you find in a common area so that everyone can find them and start solving puzzles.
Delegate Tasks
If five people are working on the same clues to complete the mission, you probably have too many hands on the padlock. Also, you are probably wasting valuable time you could be using to solve two other clues simultaneously. Don't be afraid to delegate tasks. If someone on your team looks like they don't know what to do next, they will probably be grateful if you kindly pointed out a puzzle they could start solving. If one person is able to take charge of assigning distinguishable tasks, everyone is better able to keep track of what has been done and what still needs to be done. While some puzzles will be harder than others, all puzzles are important, since you must solve them all to beat an escape room.
If You Need A Hint, Ask For One
The age-old question: To ask for a clue or not to ask for a clue? This is a point of pride for many teams. But consider this: would you rather ask for one clue and beat an escape room, or waste so much time being stuck on various puzzles that you don't escape? Often, you can't tell how much of the escape room you still have left to solve, so it's hard to judge how much time you need to complete the rest of your tasks. Can you escape? Do you have an extra five minutes to wander around looking for the next clue, or do you need to use every minute you have left to reach your goal? If the whole team has been stuck for more than 5 minutes, ask for a clue. There is no shame in asking for hints for escape rooms; in fact, it shows wisdom and good time management skills. | eng | 9d970f0a-2caf-4e8b-ac2a-8c31a3ed5170 | https://escapemaze.ca/what-is-an-escape-room/ |

Your top plot is in the frequency domain and is called a frequency Bode plot. Notice the axes. X is frequency in decades, and Y is output voltage ( somewhere on top of C1) relative to 1V in decibels. That's calculated as:-
$$ \text{dB} = 20 \log_{10} \big( \frac{V_{out}}{V_{in}} \big) $$
The 1V you entered into the small signal analysis box is the amplitude of a test signal applied across source V1. That's fed into the circuit, and the plot is the output frequency response. The 12V isn't used in a .ac analysis as the frequency of a DC voltage is 0 Hz.
By entering specifically 1V as the test signal, the decibel calculation makes for real world sense as Spice assumes that the dB loss is relative to 1V. It's kinda a convention for such analysis and typically works.
So as the frequency of the test signal increases, the amplitude of the output signal drops due to L1, R1 and C1 forming a low pass filter.
\$\begingroup\$@JoeyB 150-1: Yes, that's it. However, notice the 1k. That means a 1000 data points per decade. I normally do 10. Pragmatically, can you spot all 1000 points between 10 MHz and 100 MHz? More than 10ish is semantically redundant.\$\endgroup\$
\$\begingroup\$One minor correction: "The 12V isn't used in a .ac analysis" -- for this case, it isn't, since the circuit is linear, overall. But if there were active devices, the DC voltage would have been used for calculating the operating point, so it's not a universal case of "no, it isn't", but rather an "it is, depending on the circuit".\$\endgroup\$ | eng | a612e7c4-1ffb-4efc-9af5-518ba2b6f308 | https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/616185/ltspice-voltage-source-understanding |
11 DO'S AND DONT'S OF SUSHI ETIQUETTE
Japanese restaurant is always a festival of color and flavor. The pieces are very well prepared, delicate and tasty . But do we know the right way to enjoy this Japanese specialty?
Well, here are 11 tips that will help a lot, in our next Japanese treats:
1. ARRIVING IN A JAPANESE RESTAURANT
It is polite in any restaurant to greet the host or hostess, who may greet you with the traditional "irasshaimase" which means "please come in." You just need to acknowledge their greeting and are not required to say anything back, other than to answer the questions about your evening (seating, etc).
2. ORDERING
Ask the itamae ( Sushi Chef) what he would recommend, never "is that fresh?" as it is insulting to imply that something may not be. If you think it may not be fresh, you shouldn't be eating there, however a good itamae will steer a diner towards the food he feels will be most satisfying and highlight his skills.
3. CHOPSTICKS
Do not rub your chopsticks together. It means that you think that they get poor-quality chopsticks. When not in use they should be placed parallel to yourself on the holder (if there is one) or on the shoyu dish. They should also be placed there when finished with your meal. Also, never stick your chopsticks in your rice and leave them sticking up. This resembles incense sticks and again brings to mind the symbolism of the Japanese funeral and prayers to one's ancestors.
4. SHOYO/SOY SAUCE
Don't fill your cup with too much soy sauce. that's insulting to the sushi chef. Just a touch in there. Whenever you get your sushi, it's been prepared the way that he thinks it should be prepared. His vision. It's meant to be eaten that way. If you feel like you need a little more flavor, just dip a little bit of the piece (fish-side) into the soy sauce. If you dip the rice it'll soak up too much.
5. WASABI
Don't put wasabi directly in the shoyu dish. Nigiri-zushi (fingers of rice topped with fish or another topping) comes with wasabi placed under the fish by the itamae, and reflects what he feels is the proper balance of wasabi to fish. Some of us like a little more, and you can always sneak some separately on the fish or with it.
6. GINGER
Don't top your sushi with ginger. The pickled ginger is there for a palate cleanser, not to be eaten with the sushi.
7. HANDS
It is OK to eat nigiri-zushi (sushi) with your hands. Turn the piece upside down and put it in your mouth so the fish hits your tongue first. The fish is the star, so it's the first thing your palate experiences.
8. SASHIMI
Sashimi is only to be eaten with the chopsticks.
9. PASSING FOOD
Never pass food to another person using chopsticks as this is too close symbolically to the passing of a deceased relative's bones at a traditional Japanese funeral. Pass a plate instead allowing an individual to take food themselves.
10. SAKE
Technically one doesn't drink sake with sushi (or rice in general) only with sashimi or before or after the meal. It is felt that since they are both rice based, they do not complement each other and therefore should not be consumed together. If you are in Japan, green tea is a great option with sushi or sashimi. If you are not there, try a Japanese beer, or, don't worry about it!
11. CHEERS
Please, do not say "chin chin" when toasting, as to the Japanese, this is a reference to a certain male body part best left out of proper conversation. Say "Kanpai!" ("empty your cup") that is the traditional Japanese toast. | eng | 5338ace2-a1de-4e28-bf1c-9d342dbe9188 | https://www.itsuptomeblog.com/post/2016/07/11/11-do-s-and-dont-s-of-sushi-etiquette |
Background
How did we get here?
Recognising the need to increase timely treatment in emergency departments, a Shorter Stays in Emergency Departments (SSED) target was introduced in 2009 by the New Zealand Ministry of Health. The SSED set a time-based target of 95 per cent of all patients leaving the emergency department within six hours of arrival.
In 2011 the Council of Australian Governments agreed to a set of nearly 50 indicators with regards to the performance of hospitals and other healthcare providers. For Australian emergency departments, a National Emergency Access Target (NEAT) was introduced with the expectation that by 2015 all states and territories would ensure that 90 per cent of all patients presenting to public hospital emergency departments would depart within four hours of arrival.
What is the situation now?
Despite initial improvements in patient flow through the emergency department upon the implementation of both NEAT and SSED, emergency departments have become increasingly busy. They are busier than ever before. More people are presenting to public emergency departments, and the time people spend within the emergency department is increasing. More people who present to EDs are requiring hospital admission and hospital beds. However, the number of available hospital beds is decreasing, leading to extended stays in the emergency department for patients.
Extended stays in the emergency department, caused by bottlenecks in other parts of the healthcare system, is a patient safety risk. Waiting in the emergency department more than eight hours for a hospital bed leads to longer stays in the hospital. Delays of more than 12 hours increases the chance of dying in hospital by 67 per cent. Recent research has also show that new patients presenting to an emergency department have a 10 per cent greater chance of dying within seven days of admission when more than 10 per cent of current patients waiting for admission in that emergency department are suffering access block.
A decade after NEAT and SSED were implemented, it's time to ensure that systems and processes are beneficial to patient care and the overall patient journey. Decision makers need to determine whether they stick with the status quo – where hospital bottlenecks lead to poorer patient health outcomes, longer hospital stays, increased errors in care, and an increased chance of dying in hospital – or whether they are willing to take the steps needed to move to targets that not only focus on different emergency department patient groups, but also provide better information to drive meaningful change and improvements across the healthcare system | eng | bba52ab4-c0a2-44a1-b66c-9744c6aab0a2 | https://acem.org.au/Content-Sources/Advancing-Emergency-Medicine/Better-Outcomes-for-Patients/Access-Block-(1)/Background |

The Case for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Higher Education
As a white woman, there are a great many things I have never needed to consider when in public. For example, proximity to the elderly, being alone in a store aisle, or the consideration that the children in my shopping cart may not be my own flesh and blood. After nearly a decade of marriage to a man of ethnic background, I've discovered the ignorance that was ever present during my formative years concerning the need for diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Saturated by predominantly white, middle class community members, exposure to DEI was not a strong point in southwestern Idaho. It is important to note that I did not have Klu Klux Klan for neighbors. In fact, most of my immediate acquaintances were the salt-of-the-earth farming type. We simply lacked exposure. Ignorance grows in the absence of exposure.
Equity means that everyone has the opportunity to dance/experience the music.
A common American cultural practice is that of high school dances. Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, Prom, etc. Though the high school I attended was broadly caucasian, there was a large percentage of ethnic students in our student body. Were these students invited to Prom? Did they know that they could attend? Possibly. Were they involved in the planning and the execution of the event? Not likely. Therefore, very few of my ethnic classmates ever attended school functions.
The collegiate years have the potential to be some of the most impactful in life. When pursuing a degree at the traditional late teen or early 20's age, adults are being developed. Through experiences gained in and out of the classroom, individuals transitioning from youth to adulthood often set themselves on a trajectory that will determine their success. Campus life ranging from clubs to athletics to academics can be a vehicle for future success. Are these opportunities being presented to all students regardless of race, religion, or sexual orientation? Even if an individual decides not to attend a specific event, are they being invited? Are they presented with the opportunities to contribute in a way that would make them and those like them comfortable in their participation?
Typically when addressing issues concerning DEI, most believe it to be an racial affair. While race does have a great impact on how DEI is implemented in the high ed systems, other diverse groups, like gender, sexual orientation, religion, and disability status, are also affected. DEI is designed to create equitable access to formal education for one and all.
The purpose of this blog is to explore best practices as we discover a universal understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion. We must begin by asking the question "why is DEI important in higher education?" DEI creates a welcoming environment, encourages diverse perspectives, promotes social justice, fosters critical thinking, and ultimately, prepares students for a diverse workforce.
Creates a Welcoming Environment
Acceptance, in the case of DEI, begins at the top. As upper leadership implement inclusive policies, provide diverse and equitable training, and hire like-minded support staff, the ripple effect will be great. If university administration is supportive of DEI movements, affinity groups and support networks will be created. There will be an increased representation of underrepresented individuals and curriculum and pedagogy will diversify. More often than not, a university has a great impact on the community in which it is located. If a local university embraces DEI practices, there is an increased likelihood that the surrounding community will also adapt to a more inclusive environment.
Encourages Diverse Perspectives
The relationship between a local university and its surrounding community is a two-way, fast flowing street. While university events frequently draw community members' support, community members often provide opportunities to students at the university in means of internships, networking connections, and even job offers. All in all, a diverse perspective at the university level will carry over as students accept local employment.
A diverse perspective is also enhanced through exposure. As underrepresented populations are admitted to a university, the student body naturally diversifies and will provide experiences to the masses in the form of ethnic, religious, and identity exposure.
Promotes Social Justice
The National Association of Independent Schools noted in an article titled, Using a Social Justice Framework to Guide DEI Work, " Taking action often centers on ceding power and control, but at its very heart, this work requires trust and acknowledgement that we watch have unique experiences in this work – and that no one knows their own problems better than they themselves."
Representation is vital for the study and pursuit of social justice. How can I, as a white woman from Idaho, possibly understand the intricacies of an African American male who was raised in the Bronx? And ultimately, the reverse? While we may not be able to understand one another's experiences first hand, we can develop a near perfect sense of empathy as we learn more about each other. From empathy is born inclusivity. Inclusivity will foster equity. Equity will naturally generate diversity and the process becomes cyclical.
Fosters Critical Thinking
Similarly to the promotion of social justice, the exposure to diverse groups will construct questions needing solutions to problems that have not yet been solved. By encouraging inclusive dialogue and discussion, DEI efforts will allow for individuals from differing backgrounds to share their thoughts and experiences in a safe and respectful environment. DEI practices embolden active listening, thoughtful reflections, and constructive questioning. Might I suggest that DEI practices be written into legislation and implemented into congress, effective immediately? Can you imagine how different politics would be with active listening, thoughtful reflection, and constructive questioning? I smell world peace a coming.
Diverse Workforce Preparation
DEI practices also will expand access and opportunities for those entering the workforce. Educational Institutions are not the only place where inclusive curriculum is needed. However, it is a practice arena where inclusive and supportive learning environments can be preserved through the intentional planning and instruction of a well represented faculty.
DEI efforts in workforce preparation programs often involve engaging with employers and industries to promote diversity and inclusivity in the workplace specifically. This can include partnerships with companies and organizations that are committed to DEI principles and advocating for inclusive hiring practices.
Succinctly, DEI practices are needed so desperately in the sphere of higher education. Through the creation of welcoming environments and diverse perspectives are encouraged, social justice and critical thinking will be promoted, thus better preparing students for a diverse and inclusive workplace.

During this semester students get acquainted with the development of the different classification systems and those factors which motivate this process.
The course discusses how the main psychiatric disorders are categorized according to the different classification systems. In this way students get to know the different aspects of the mental disorders.
Moreover the course discusses how the standardized classification of mental disorders based on scientific data contributes to the improvement of the diagnoses and treatments of these disorders through different cultures and countries.
The course discusses the utilization of the classification systems in different fields as clinical practise, research, education, epidemiology and public health. The course provides knowledge on the limitations of the current classification systems. The cousre has a special focus on childhood. It discusses those childhood characteristics as well which are not taken into account in the classification systems.

Furniture Advertising During a Recession
When an economy experiences a recession, consumers tend to tighten their budgets and reduce spending on non-essential items such as furniture. As a result, many furniture stores may be tempted to cut back on their advertising efforts to save money. However, this can be a mistake. Here are a few reasons why it's important for furniture stores to continue advertising during an anticipated recession:
Maintain brand visibility: Advertising helps to keep a company's brand top-of-mind with consumers. When a furniture store reduces its advertising efforts during a recession, it risks becoming less visible to consumers and losing market share to competitors who are still advertising.
Attract price-sensitive consumers: During a recession, many consumers become more price-sensitive and are more likely to shop around for the best deals. Furniture stores that continue to advertise during a recession can attract these price-sensitive consumers by promoting special offers and discounts.
Foster customer loyalty: Advertising can help to build customer loyalty by reminding consumers of a furniture store's existence and the value it offers. When a furniture store cuts back on advertising during a recession, it risks losing loyal customers who may forget about the store or be drawn to a competitor with a more visible presence.
Prepare for the recovery: While a recession may lead to a temporary dip in demand for furniture, it's important to remember that economies eventually recover. Furniture stores that continue to advertise during a recession will be better positioned to take advantage of the recovery when it comes.
People are still buying: No matter what's going on with the economy, not everyone is affected, and there are still people actively looking to buy furniture. Whether it's because of graduation, buying a home, moving to find work, marriage, divorce, new baby, or hundreds of other reasons, there are still shoppers in the marketplace, and you want your business to be on the list of places they shop.
While it may be tempting to cut back on advertising to save money, the long-term consequences of reduced visibility and market share can be far more costly. | eng | e5aefc3b-caa8-4c4f-b350-61e89c1a2196 | https://tangomultimedia.com/furniture-advertising-during-a-recession/ |

What is the LAM App and How Does it Work?
The LAM app presents itself as a platform that allows users to earn money by completing simple tasks on their smartphones like watching videos, taking surveys, playing games, and more. It is available on both Android and iOS.
Some key points about how LAM claims to work:
Users earn points called "LAM Coins" for each task they complete within the app. These points can then be redeemed for cash.
Tasks generally only take 1-5 minutes each and include options like viewing videos, installing other apps, participating in market research surveys, etc.
Earnings are said to range from 20-100 LAM Coins per task which can then be cashed out starting at just 500 coins (£2).
Its business operations, marketing tactics, and universally poor reviews align it as most likely fraudulent rather than a genuine work and earn opportunity.
Consumers are advised to stay far away and instead focus time and effort into proven methods of building real skills or advancing a legitimate career. Approaching such programs armed with knowledge best protects users from deceptive income schemes. | eng | 6fb495fc-a45d-4a78-a6e1-ac5384ddcf75 | https://holyprofweb.com/lam-app-is-real-or-fake-reviews-and-complaints/ |

Brucellosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Gram-negative coccobacilli of the genus Brucella, which affects different mammals, including humans. Brucella spp. is a facultative intracellular pathogen the ability of which to replicate and persist in host cells is directly associated with its capacity to cause persistent disease and to circumvent the innate and adaptive immunity of the host (12). The Brucella genus is composed of eight terrestrial species and at least two marine species (24). Each may infect different host species but has a preferred host (4). Terrestrial Brucella spp. include B. abortus (cattle), B. melitensis (sheep and goats), B. suis (pigs), B. ovis (rams), B. canis (dogs), B. neotomae (the desert woodrat – Neotoma lepida), B. microti (the common vole – Microtus arvalis) (19) and B. inopinata (originally isolated from a human patient, but its preferential host is not known) (20). The Brucella species isolated from marine mammals are B. ceti (porpoises and dolphins) and B. pinnipedialis (seals) (5). Recently, B. papionis and B. vulpis were isolated from the baboon and red fox, respectively (21, 22).
Bovine brucellosis, caused mainly by B. abortus, is a major economic problem due to the extensive damage it inflicts on commercial animal husbandry (15). Although bovine brucellosis has been eradicated in most of the developed countries, it is still prevalent in southern Italy, particularly on Sicily, Basilicata, Campania, Calabria and Apulia regions. Different genetic lineages spread as a result of frequent introductions of infected livestock in past centuries (6, 7). From a public health point of view, brucellosis is considered an occupational disease that mainly affects slaughterhouse workers, butchers, laboratory personnel and veterinarians, but it is also a travel-associated disease (8, 17).
The gold standard for the diagnosis of brucellosis is microbiological isolation of the pathogen from the host tissue or its secretions and subsequent identification of the species. However, the isolation of Brucella spp. is considered a hazardous procedure, requiring high-security laboratory facilities of biological containment level 3 and highly skilled personnel, and is also known to be a technique with an extended turnaround time for results (24). In order to overcome these limitations, molecular detection by real-time PCR can be employed. This technique is becoming a very important method for the routine identification of Brucella, because it requires minimum biological containment and can provide results in a very short time (2, 10, 18, 24).
Material and Methods
Sample collection. In February 2016, in a herd from the Apulia region of southern Italy composed of 40 cows, seven animals tested positive for Brucella spp. when evaluated by routine serological testing. This followed several sporadic cases of brucellosis, and consequently, the entire herd was slaughtered in compliance with the current regulations in Italy. The serological status of the animals was evaluated by the rose Bengal test (RBT) and complement fixation test (CFT), the official methods used in the European Union countries (2). The carcasses of ten animals from the infected herd were taken and target organs were subjected to microbiological procedures for Brucella isolation. Seven of these animals were seropositive (RBT+/CFT+) and three seronegative (one RBT+/CFT− and two RBT−/CFT−). The following organs were collected: the submandibular, supramammary, retropharyngeal and internal iliac lymph nodes, udder, spleen and cotyledons. The foetus was taken from one pregnant cow in the fourth and from another in the seventh month of gestation. Amniotic fluid, the brain pleural fluid, a lung, the liver, spleen, abomasum and cotyledons were collected from each foetus. All samples were stored at 4°C after sampling and quickly transported to the laboratory.
Sample analysis. Briefly, tissue samples were prepared by removal of extraneous material (e.g. fat), cut into small pieces, macerated using a stomacher (Mayo International, Milan, Italy) with 10 mL of sterile phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.2) and homogenised for 10–15 min (20). One millilitre of each homogenate was immediately inoculated in duplicate onto blood agar plates containing 5% (v/v) of defibrinated sheep blood and onto Brucella agar culture media plates (23). The tissue cultures were incubated at 37°C, both aerobically and microaerobically (5–10% (v/v) CO2) for at least 7 days. In addition, a 1 mL aliquot of the homogenate was added to 9 mL of enrichment Brucella broth and incubated at 37°C in air supplemented with 5–10% (v/v) CO2 for up to 6 weeks, with weekly subcultures into solid selective medium.
The suspected colonies were subcloned to confirm the presence of Brucella spp. and the organisms were identified by conventional procedures such as colonial morphology, Gram staining, catalase, oxidase and urease activities, and by agglutination test with polyclonal antisera.
The real-time PCR was carried out immediately from the homogenates and then every week for six weeks from the enrichment broths. Total DNA was extracted using a DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen, Hilden, Germany) following the manufacturer's protocol for Gram-negative bacteria. For real-time PCR analysis, 2 μL of DNA was amplified using the SsoAdvanced Universal Probes Supermix (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA), with a 300 nM concentration of each forward and reverse primer and a 200 nM concentration of the probe (all products of Eurofins Genomics, Ebersberg, Germany), in a CFX Connect Real-Time PCR Detection System (Bio-Rad). The primers and probes were designed to target the genus-specific IS711 insertion sequences and the B. abortus-specific BruAb2_0168 target, as previously described (9). The reaction conditions were the following: 95°C for 3 min followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 95°C for 30 s, primers annealing at 60°C for 30 s, and elongation at 72°C for 20 s. The cycling was followed by a final extension step at 72°C for 10 min. A negative control (PCR mixture without DNA template) and a positive control consisting of DNA were included in each amplification run.
Results
The results of the real-time PCR and of other diagnostic investigations are summarised in Table 1. Brucella spp. were detected in 44 out of 67 broth culture media bearing organ tissue inoculate with both cultivation and molecular methods, while only 4 out of 44 samples were positive by real-time PCR performed directly on the homogenates of the organs. All the positive isolates were subsequently identified as B. abortus by real-time PCR. All samples collected from foetuses were negative for Brucella spp. by both methods, presumably because the bacteria had not yet crossed the placental barrier.
Table 1
Results of serological, culture and real-time PCR analyses in organs of slaughtered cattle following a brucellosis outbreak
The lymph nodes of the head (submandibular and retropharyngeal lymph nodes) and of the sublumbar region (internal iliac lymph node) were the sites where Brucella was most frequently detected. It is worth highlighting that positive cultures and PCR results were also obtained when testing samples from the three seronegative animals (Table 1).
The detection of Brucella using PCR in combination with cultivation was possible, on average, two weeks sooner than when cultivation alone was used. In almost all cases Brucella was detected by real-time PCR after the first week of cultivation in Brucella enrichment broth (Fig. 1), while bacterial growth was usually visually evident on average after 2–3 weeks. In only four cases was bacterial growth from direct seeding of the homogenate possible to discern in one week.

Discussion
Currently, the gold standard diagnostic techniques continue to be based on bacterial isolation from aborted material (foetal tissues, cotyledons and vaginal exudates), lymph nodes, and the udder and spleen followed by microbiological characterisation (16). In recent years, different PCR protocols have been developed and used for the identification of Brucella spp. including B. abortus (9). Such assays, alone or in combination with microbiology, have proved to be an important alternative fast method that overcomes some problems and disadvantages of traditional microbiological methods.
Even though microbiological isolation is considered the gold standard test for brucellosis diagnosis, and is prescribed by the Terrestrial Manual of the World Organisation for Animal Health (23), in this study we showed that a real-time PCR in combination with enrichment broth cultivation was able to identify the same percentage of infected animals faster. Moreover, diagnostic results using PCR were obtained, on average, two weeks before they could have been with cultivation alone. In almost all cases, Brucella was detected by real-time PCR after the first week of cultivation in Brucella enrichment broth, while bacterial growth was visually evident usually after 2–3 weeks. To our knowledge, no comparative studies have been conducted until now on the detection of Brucella abortus in cattle samples via broth culture using a real-time PCR in combination with it. Most of the studies reported in the literature compared classical microbiological methods and PCR directly from organ homogenates (1, 3, 11, 13, 16) and did not analyse broth cultures of the organs at different times of incubation. We have demonstrated that PCR can have some limitations on its capacity for detection if performed directly on organ homogenates because of low concentrations of Brucella in some organs or inaccurate DNA extraction, and moreover, the presence of large amounts of bovine genomic DNA may have inhibitory effects on PCR assays (18). In this study, we showed that PCR is very useful if carried out in combination with cultivation, in order to shorten response times. The molecular approach adopted in this study presents some advantages compared to classical bacteriological techniques with respect to the sensitivity and rapidity of the analyses. In fact, the classical cultivation method shows disadvantages, i.e. the long incubation time (six weeks, due to the slow growth of this bacterium), the possible overgrowth of contaminating bacteria and the longer exposure of laboratory personnel to infection risk. In contrast, real-time PCR is a fast and simple method, less hazardous, highly sensitive in this application, extremely specific and relatively inexpensive. Furthermore, the results of this molecular method are not affected by the presence of contaminants.
In conclusion, rapid, definitive and accurate diagnosis of brucellosis is very important for the positive outcome of eradication programmes (14), and the methodology presented here seems to hold promise as such a diagnostic technique. The presented data are preliminary and need to be confirmed by studying a larger number of animals over a longer observation period. However, on the basis of these preliminary results, real-time PCR could be a reliable method for routine identification and differentiation of Brucella isolates in addition to classical microbiological methods, providing more rapid and sensitive results. | eng | af829734-0338-4300-bae4-ee180cd363fa | https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/jvetres-2022-0062 |
Imaging and Low Back Pain
You have back pain. You go to the MD. They take an X-ray, even an MRI. They find you have disk degeneration, a mild disc bulge, maybe some facet degeneration. Is this something that is going to cause pain for the rest of your life?
Take a look at the graph. What it shows is that once you reach your 40's you will likely have some level of normal age related change in your lumbar spine. The good news is most of these abnormalities will NOT cause pain.
Don't be too quick to believe that a disk bulge at L3 is causing your low back pain. Or disk degeneration from L2-L5 is going to stop you from participating in your favorite activities. Your symptoms need to match the imaging for it to be meaningful.
If, for example we look at the L3 disk bulge. Significant symptoms related to that would include radiculitis (symptoms along the L3 nerve distribution), burning, sharp pain, weakness and even muscle wasting are indications. If radiculitis is not present then you don't need to be as worried about that bulge.
In many cases of low back pain the cause is mechanical. You cleaned out the garage over the weekend. Monday morning your back is stiff. Tuesday you wake up and are too stiff to stand up straight. These symptoms are likely a result of something you did cleaning out your garage, not disk degeneration, a disc bulge or facet degeneration. | eng | 84e96307-e32c-4332-8e74-bbbfb5690fd4 | http://reboundclinic.com/imaging-and-low-back-pain/ |
Photosensitive epilepsy and online content
This is particularly the case if the flash has a high intensity and is within certain frequency ranges.
Online, this often relates to the use of animated GIFs and videos.
What are the guidelines for producing safe content for people with photosensitive epilepsy?
The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is the international standards organisation for the internet. Their accessibility guidelines recommend that web content does not:
Contain anything that flashes more than 3 times in any 1 second period or
Flash below the general flash and red flash thresholds
They also suggest:
Reducing contrast for any flashing content
Avoiding fully saturated reds for any flashing content
Reducing the number of flashes even if they do not violate thresholds
Providing a way to stop any flashing content before it begins
Slowing down live material to avoid rapid flashes (as in flashbulbs)
Freezing the image momentarily if there are 3 flashes in 1 second
Dropping the contrast ratio if there are 3 flashes in 1 second
Allowing users to set a custom flash rate limit
If the user is not able to control the flickering, blinking and moving (this includes stopping the content from starting), then the effects should not be used.
Am I breaking the law by producing flashing content?
In many countries, such as the UK, it is illegal to discriminate against disabled people. This includes people with epilepsy.
If your content breaks the W3C good practice guide (above), then you should consider if there is a valid reason for it to do so. If there isn't then you should edit your content to make sure it meets the W3C guidelines.
I have produced some content that flashes. Should I give a warning to users?
If you feel there's a good reason why your content should break the W3C guidelines, then we strongly urge you to give a warning before the flashing starts. For example, on a video, the warning should be before the user starts to play the video.
If you don't alert people with photosensitive epilepsy to flashing and someone has a seizure as a result of your content, you may be breaking the law | eng | 8ef54a15-1625-4adb-8254-1f0e87563506 | https://www.epilepsy.org.uk/press/photosensitive-epilepsy-and-online-content |

Trade License in Bihar is a license that permits the businessperson to setup a trade in notified area within a city or district. Municipal Corporation or Nagar Parishad generally issues a license to all business units working in their area as proof of registration, which allows business units to function within jurisdiction of that Municipal Corporation or Nagar Parishad.
The License Department is the metropolitan companies of city or area which issues licenses in interview with other specific consultative offices like: Fire Brigade, Health, Engineering, Estate and others of same kind. In context of this, any business foundations genuinely must take central licenses from the License Department prior to beginning assembling, trade or capacity of any movement/ware. The application should be gotten from the business foundation, 90 days before the beginning of action. Exchange permit is an archive/testament which concedes the option to work a business or exchange a specific region for which it is given. The State Governments issue exchange permit to screen and manage the business or exchange. In this article, we take a gander at the technique for acquiring Bihar exchange permit detail. An exchange permit alludes to an authoritative record that delivers a grant to the candidate (individual trying to set up a business) to begin a particular exchange or business a specific region/region. It guaranteed that the exchange or business was performed by conforming to all the important security arrangements as carried out by State Municipal Corporation. It protects the inhabitants from being hampered by any wellbeing risks. Notwithstanding, the permit doesn't allow the entrepreneur to play out any business exercises that fall outside the ambit of the permit.
The primary objective of exchange permit is confined to individuals to control business area from executing any sort of business from their inhabitant regions by keeping up with the business climate and territory climate.
The need of Trade License: The main one is that it keeps you from being punished. Further it is a proof that no criminal behavior is completed in your foundation The Shop and foundation Act directs the lead of efficient working hours, advantages to representatives what not. Exchange permit is the method for managing explicit business from a specific area. The exchange permit is a way to guarantee that the way and region in which the business is being continued is as indicated by the significant principles, norms and wellbeing rules. It is given by the metropolitan company of where business is found. Any unapproved running of exchange is an offense which might bring about a significant punishment and resulting indictment. The entrepreneurs should apply for exchange permit whenever expected specifically region immediately. Permit once gave requires periodical restoration on yearly premise. Application for recharging should be recorded no less than 30 days before expiry of permit. Records requires:- Dish Card of the foundation if there should be an occurrence of organization, LLP or Firm. Dropped Check and bank articulation of the foundation Endorsement of Incorporation, MOA and AOA of the organization or LLP/Partnership Agreement by and large Premises Proof of the foundation as Sale Deed, Electricity Bill/water bill and NOC from proprietor. Variety Photograph, Pan card and ID Proof and Address Proof of all Directors/Partners Front-Facial Photograph of the foundation with Display of products exchanged from the premises Site/Key Plan Showing the region under the control of the candidate reserving the neighborhood of the site Handling time:-
Trade License must be gotten inside 7-10 days in metropolitan urban areas, on the off chance that reports are not filled by the principles, it will require investment as in 35-40 working days. It must be acquired in somewhere around 30 days of beginning of business in other little urban communities and country regions.
All business foundation that fall under the accompanying classes should acquire exchange permit:
A foundation or managerial help wherein people utilized or chiefly occupied with office work. A lodging, eatery, boarding or eating house, a bistro or some other reward house. A theater, film or some other spot of public entertainment or amusement.
An exchange permit is an archive/authentication that allows to the candidate (individual trying to start a business) to begin a specific exchange or business a specific region/area.
It guaranteed that the business or exchange is conveyed by sticking to every one of the guidelines of wellbeing as given by State Municipal Corporation . It shields the occupants from being impacted by any wellbeing dangers.
Be that as it may, the permit doesn't permit the holder to complete some other exchange or business than for it is given. Moreover, this permit gives no sort of property possession to the holder of the permit.
Regularly Asked Questions
Q. What is the timetable for getting an Trade license?
Typically it requires multi week however at that point you can never make certain about the course of events from the Government body. So for all intents and purposes it can require as long as a month yet assuming that you have applied for an exchange permit, the receipt of the application is pretty much as great as an exchange permit assuming you really want it.
Q. Who is the contact official, assuming I have requests concerning my Trade License?
Wellbeing Inspector of the concerned ward and Zonal Chief Officer is the contact Officer for permit enquiry.

4 Factors That Help Make Profits on Real Estate Properties
Many people view real estate investing as a way to make money quickly. However, while it is possible to make a lot of money in the short-term, sustainable and long-term profits are more likely if you take a systematic approach. Whether you invest in residential or commercial real estate, there are several strategies you can use to maximize your profits. Below are four tips for maximizing your profits on real estate investments.
Tenant Screening
Effective tenant screening is one of the most critical aspects of maximizing profits with rental properties. This includes conducting background checks, verifying employment, and checking references. By screening tenants thoroughly, you can avoid costly problems down the road, such as damage to the property, missed rent payments, and legal issues.
When screening tenants, it's crucial to pay attention to any red flags that may indicate a problem. These include a low credit score, past evictions or other legal issues, references that cannot be verified, and evidence of drug use. Additionally, look for signs of poor communication, such as failing to promptly return your calls or emails. Taking the time to screen tenants properly can help minimize potential future damages.
Rent Prices
Another critical element of maximizing profits is setting the right rent price. If you charge too little, you'll miss out on potential income. On the other hand, if you charge too much, your property may sit vacant for extended periods. The best way to determine an optimal rent price is to research comparable properties in the area and track how quickly they are being rented.
When setting the rent price, you should also consider any amenities or features that make your property stand out from other rental properties in the area. For example, if your property offers a community pool or gym access, this could justify a higher rent price than similar properties without these features. Additionally, consider offering incentives such as discounted rates for longer leases to attract tenants.
Renovation
If you're planning to Flip a property, it's essential to renovate it to maximize profits. This means avoiding over-improving the property beyond what is necessary to attract buyers in the target market. It's also important to stay within budget and not go overboard with luxury finishes that will eat into your potential profits. Instead, focus on making smart choices that add value without breaking the bank.
For residential properties, it's essential to focus on areas with the most impact. This includes updating kitchen appliances and cabinets, replacing flooring, and adding fresh paint. Additionally, investing in energy-efficient features such as solar panels or energy-saving windows can help boost resale value while increasing profits. While commercial properties may require more extensive renovations, the same principles still apply: focus on areas with the most significant impact while keeping costs low.
Proper Maintenance of the facilities
Another key component of sustaining long-term profits is proper Maintenance of both the property itself and any amenities or common areas that are part of the investment. This includes regularly scheduled landscaping and cleaning to major repairs, such as fixing leaks or replacing roofs and HVAC systems. By proactively maintaining your investment, you can prevent costly issues from arising and keep your property attractive to tenants or buyers.
When it comes to commercial properties, one area that often gets overlooked is the restroom. Refurbishing commercial restrooms can make a big difference in attracting tenants and increasing profits. This includes replacing aging fixtures, updating paint colors, and adding amenities such as automatic lighting or hand dryers. Investing in energy-efficient toilets and other water-saving features can also help keep energy costs low and maximize profits.
For residential properties, preventive Maintenance is vital to keep costs down and ensure the property remains attractive. This can include regular inspections of elevators, plumbing, HVAC systems, and electrical wiring. Additionally, regularly cleaning gutters and replacing air filters can help keep energy costs low and prevent any major issues from arising down the line.
In Closing
Real estate investing can be a great way to generate sustainable profits over time. However, it's crucial to approach it in an organized manner to maximize returns. Following these tips can help ensure that your real estate investment generates healthy returns for years. Investing in real estate the right way can generate long-term profits while also helping to create better living spaces for those who live and work there. As a real estate investor, you can also offer an essential service for your local community by helping to improve neighborhoods and revitalize run-down buildings. By investing in real estate responsibly, not only can you turn a profit, but you can also make a positive difference in your community. | eng | a2610044-babc-42bd-b35d-34571ce023fe | https://www.cohesia.com/make-profits-on-real-estate-properties/ |
Essay Preview: Body Composition
Your body is made up of water, fat, protein, carbohydrate and various vitamins and minerals. If you have too much fat -- especially if a lot of it is at your waist -- you're at higher risk for such health problems as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and diabetes (di"ah-BE'teez or di"ah-BE'tis). That increases your risk for heart disease and stroke.
Obesity is now recognized as a major, independent risk factor for heart disease. If you're overweight or obese, you can reduce your risk for heart disease by starting a weight management
program.
Waist circumference and body mass index (BMI) are indirect ways to assess your body composition. Waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is another index of body fat distribution. However, WHR is less accurate than BMI or waist circumference and is no longer recommended.
What is the waist circumference?
Waist circumference is the distance around your natural waist (just above the navel). If your BMI is greater than or equal to 25 kg/m2, your goal for waist circumference is less than 40 inches if you're a man and less than 35 inches if you're a woman.
What is the body mass index (BMI)?
Body mass index assesses your body weight relative to height. It's a useful, indirect measure of body composition because it correlates highly with body fat in most people. Weight in kilograms is divided by height in meters squared (kg/m2). In studies by the National Center for Health Statistics,
-1. BMI values less than 18.5 are considered underweight.
-1. BMI values from 18.5 to 24.9 are healthy.
-1. Overweight is defined as a body mass index of 25.0 to less than 30.0. A BMI of about 25 kg/m2 corresponds to about 10 percent over ideal body weight. People with BMIs in this range have an increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease.
-1. Obesity is defined as a BMI of 30.0 or greater (based on NIH guidelines) -- about 30 pounds or more overweight. People with BMIs of 30 or more are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease.
-1. Extreme obesity is defined as a BMI of 40 or greater.
Some well-trained people with dense muscle mass may have a high BMI score but very little body fat. For them the waist circumference, the skinfold or fatfold measurements, or more direct methods of measuring body fat may be more useful measures.
How do you find your BMI risk level?
-1. Use a weight scale on a hard, flat, uncarpeted surface. Wear very little clothing and no shoes.
-1. Weigh yourself to the nearest pound.
-1. With your eyes facing forward and your heels together, stand very straight against a wall. Your buttocks, shoulders and the back of your head should be touching the wall.
-1. Mark your height at the highest point of your head. Then measure your height in feet and inches to the nearest 1/4 inch. Also figure your height in inches only.
-1. Find your height in feet and inches in the first column of the Body Mass Index Risk Levels table. The ranges of weight that correspond to minimal risk, moderate risk (overweight) and high risk (obese) are shown | eng | 260e974d-34ab-42d6-adff-f96ebcda9ccd | https://www.essays24.com/essay/Body-Composition/15306.html |
4 Types Of Hickory Trees In Iowa
Hickory trees are a type of deciduous tree that are native to the eastern United States, including the state of Iowa.
These trees are known for their strong, hard wood, which is often used in the production of furniture, flooring, and other wood products.
In this blog post, we will explore the different types of hickory trees that can be found in Iowa, their characteristics, and the role they play in the state's ecosystem.
There are four types of hickory trees that can be found in Iowa: shagbark hickory, pignut hickory, bitternut hickory, and red hickory. Each of these trees has its own distinct characteristics, including size, leaf shape, and nut flavor.
Types of Hickory Trees in Iowa
Shagbark hickory (Carya ovata) The shagbark hickory is a common type of hickory tree that can be found in Iowa. It is named for its shaggy bark, which peels away in long, thin strips. The leaves of the shagbark hickory are dark green and have five or six leaflets. These trees can grow up to 100 feet tall and have a spreading crown. The nuts produced by the shagbark hickory are a favorite food of squirrels and other animals.
Pignut hickory (Carya glabra) The pignut hickory is another type of hickory tree that is native to Iowa. It is smaller than the shagbark hickory, typically growing to a height of 50-75 feet. The pignut hickory has a straight trunk and a rounded crown. Its leaves are similar to those of the shagbark hickory, but the nuts produced by the pignut hickory are smaller and less flavorful.
Bitternut hickory (Carya cordiformis) The bitternut hickory is a medium-sized hickory tree that can be found in Iowa. It grows to a height of 50-75 feet and has a straight trunk and a narrow crown. The leaves of the bitternut hickory are dark green and have seven to nine leaflets. The nuts produced by this tree are small and have a bitter taste, hence the tree's name.
Red hickory (Carya ovalis) The red hickory is a rare type of hickory tree that can be found in Iowa. It is similar in size and appearance to the shagbark hickory, but has reddish-brown bark and red or yellow fall foliage. The nuts produced by the red hickory are small and have a sweet, nutty flavor.
Characteristics of Hickory Trees
Hickory trees are known for their strong, hard wood, which is often used in the production of furniture, flooring, and other wood products.
The wood of hickory trees is also highly resistant to decay, making it a popular choice for outdoor use.
In addition to their wood, hickory trees are also valued for their nuts, which are a favorite food of many animals.
Hickory trees are deciduous, meaning that they lose their leaves in the fall.
During the spring and summer months, hickory trees are covered in a canopy of dark green leaves.
In the fall, the leaves of hickory trees turn yellow, orange, or red, adding a splash of color to the landscape.
Hickory trees are long-lived, with some specimens living for over 200 years.
They are also relatively slow-growing, taking several decades to reach their full size.
The Role of Hickory Trees in the Iowa Ecosystem
Hickory trees play an important role in the Iowa ecosystem, providing food and habitat for a variety of animals.
The nuts produced by hickory trees are an important food source for many animals, including squirrels, chipmunks, and birds.
These nuts provide a source of energy and nutrients that help these animals survive the winter months.
In addition to providing food, hickory trees also provide habitat for a variety of animals.
The thick canopy of hickory trees provides shelter and protection for birds, squirrels, and other small animals.
The strong, hard wood of hickory trees also makes them an important source of nesting sites for woodpeckers and other cavity-nesting birds.
Hickory trees also play a role in soil conservation and water management in Iowa.
The deep root systems of hickory trees help to anchor the soil, preventing erosion and promoting healthy soil structure.
The canopy of hickory trees also helps to intercept rainwater, slowing down the flow of water and allowing it to be absorbed into the ground rather than running off into streams and rivers | eng | 3535eb49-b05a-473b-ad42-e411503aa633 | https://hickorytreereport.com/hickory-trees-in-iowa/ |

Jesus Pleads for You
"Who then will condemn us? No one—for Christ Jesus died for us and was raised to life for us, and he is sitting in the place of honor at God's right hand, pleading for us" (Romans 8:34 NLT).
A few days ago, we noted the amazing truth that the very Spirit of God prays for us (vv. 26-27). Today we add to our amazement. In Romans 8:34, we see not only that Christ died for us and was raised for us, but also that, as he is sitting at the right hand of God, he is "pleading for us." The verb translated here as "plead" is essentially the same verb applied earlier to the Holy Spirit.
This passage from Romans envisions a court of law, with God the Father as the judge. As we stand before the judge, there is no one to condemn us because Christ has taken our guilty verdict upon himself. But, even more wonderfully, he takes the role of our defense attorney, pleading for us with the divine judge. The Greek grammar makes clear the fact that this is not a one-time thing. Rather, Christ is continuously interceding for us.
You and I will never fully comprehend the wonder of the Trinity. We can only stand back and marvel at the fact that the triune God not only hears our prayers, but also prays for us. God is on our side, not in a passive way, waiting for us to ask for his help. Rather, God is actively seeking our best. The persons of the Trinity are working together for our good.
When I consider this truth, my heart is strengthened. My challenges seem less overwhelming. My defeats are revealed to be temporary. God is for me. Both the Holy Spirit and the Son are interceding for me. With the Triune God on my side, how can I fail to become everything God has designed me to be?
QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: Do you ever think of Jesus pleading for you with the Father? How does this thought impact you? How might your life be different today if you remembered that Christ is praying for you?
PRAYER: Gracious, holy, triune God, once again I am astonished by you. Not only do you hear my prayers, but also you pray for me. In the mystery of your triune communication, you are interceding for me.
Thank you, Lord, for this great encouragement. Thank you for being on my side. Thank you for being strong when I am weak. Thank you for helping me in ways I grasp, and in ways far beyond my comprehension.
Let me live today, Lord, with the assurance that you are both hearing my prayers and praying for me. Wow! Hallelujah! Amen.

Adventure
There's no question that we love camping and sustainability here at Terradrift, but many people overlook the importance of keeping things sustainable while you're actually camping. But it's just as important–if not more important–than at home. So if you want to preserve the beauty of the great outdoors, be proactive in your approach to sustainability when it comes to packing up your sustainable camping gear and heading off on your journey, but also when it comes to enjoying the campsite itself. So whether it's about keeping your campsite clean or being mindful of the resources you use, here are five sustainability hacks that you can utilize on your next camping trip so you can be a sustainability superhero.
Ready to hit the trail on two wheels? In this guest post, Ashley Parsons from the En Selle duo offers some tips to start planning your first bikepacking adventure in this intro to bikepacking. We hope you're ready to get inspired, don those bike shorts, and get pedaling!
Whether hiking, backpacking or traveling, water filtration and purification is important. But not all portable water filters do both. So we're gonna compare three portable water purifiers and filters in …
Thinking about getting started with bikepacking? We don't blame you—while bikepacking isn't exactly a new phenomenon, it's grown in popularity and trendiness in recent years as more and more people notice the benefits of using a bike to explore the great outdoors. This self-supported style of mountain biking has sparked the imagination of many adventurers seeking to experience the world in a simpler, more sustainable way.We love being outside. We love it when others love being outside. We don't love it when others don't respect outside. So with more and more people heading outdoors these days, we thought it was high time that we discussed a few rules for the outdoors so all of us can enjoy the outdoors together. Some of these are suggestions that merely make the whole outdoor experience more pleasant for everyone involved, and some are hard and fast rules that can destroy delicate ecosystems (or your life) if not followed. So read up, then get outside and wander on!It's still summer. In fact, we're sliding into August, which is typically the hottest month of the year in most places in the Northern Hemisphere. Which means if you're playing/hiking/cycling/backpacking outside, you're probably sweating. A lot. And a lot of sweat means your body is losing a lot of H20 (and other stuff). Which means your risk of dehydration is higher. So you need to drink more water. But here's the thing: if you're out working hard and sweating for over an hour at a time, your body needs more than water to keep itself functioning properly. It needs salt and minerals like potassium. It needs electrolytes. But not all electrolytes are created equal. So if you're looking for better electrolyte drink mixes without all the artificial color, flavor, additives or sweeteners, we've got you covered. Here are 5 sports hydration mixes that aren't Gatorade so you can hydrate and keep wandering on.
As vegans, we get asked a lot: what do we eat when we're backpacking? I personally enjoy a witty response like "food," but I appreciate that that's not a terribly helpful answer, especially for those who might be genuinely curious about eating plant-based in the outdoors. That's why we created a whole e-book full of plant-based backpacking recipes! But let's be honest: 15 recipes are really only a starting point for a lifetime of backcountry meals and if you're just looking for an idea or two to get your creative juices flowing, well, this post has you covered. So here's a breakdown of a simple 3-day backpacking menu, including what we actually ate on our last backpacking trip. So chow down, cause there's no hiker hunger here. (And if you're not vegan, yes, you can make these meals, too. You don't need meat to survive in the wilderness, promise.)
We've all been new at something at some point in our lives. And chances are, we weren't great at that something right out of the gate. There's a learning curve with most activities that can only be gained through experience. And that includes backpacking. But if you're new to shouldering a pack and hiking off into the woods to spend a few nights under a canopy of trees, we've got your back. Here are 5 mistakes beginner backpackers make (so you can get them right and stop looking like such a noob). | eng | 8d2e330f-60e7-4f2d-a8d9-2d65bdd1acce | https://terradrift.com/category/adventure/page/2/ |
Garden Thyme Podcast Season 3 Episode 9 Fall colors.
The Garden Thyme Podcast
: Upbeat Music:
[00:00:01.690] - Emily
Hello, listener. Welcome to the University of Maryland Extension presents the Garden Time podcast, where we talk about getting down and dirty in your garden. We're your host. I'm Emily.
[00:00:11.400] - Mikaela
I'm Mikaela.
[00:00:12.920] - Rachel
I'm Rachel.
[00:00:14.870] - Emily
In this month's episode. We're talking all about fall foliage and the plants that will give you great fall color for your garden.
: Upbeat Music:
[00:00:24.270] - Emily
I don't think it's a secret to anyone who's been listening to our podcast for a long time that we all love fall.
[00:00:31.030] - Mikaela
It's that time of year that everybody's excited they've gone back to school. If you're in school and you're getting your pumpkin spice lattes, buying your pumpkins, it's a really great time of year and, well, it's my birthday,
[00:00:49.180] - Emily
I always think of September as apple season, so like apple cider and the nice crisp apples and all that. So Im super excited for the fall. Still a little warm out, so I am pumped.
[00:01:05.860] - Rachel
So am I. I'm here for apple cider donuts.
[00:01:10.950] - Mikaela
So we look at the changing of leaves as being kind of like the harboring of fall. But do we really understand why plants change color? Or why is it that some leaves are yellow and some are orange and some are red or some just don't have any cool color at all?
[00:01:38.050] - Emily
Okay, so there are three factors that actually influence fall leaf color. The first one is leaf pigment. The second is the weather, and the third is daylight. It's interesting because the timing of the color change itself and the onset of fall leaves is primarily regulated by the length of the day. So what happens is as daylight gets shorter, there's a biochemical process in the leaf that causes the leaf to start to change. So there's actually a clump of cells near the stem in the leaf. And then as that daylight changes, it triggers the cells to divide and multiply and grow. And as they grow, they slowly constrict the vein, which reduces the amount of sugar that's coming into the leaf and out of the leaf. Once this happens, it triggers the chlorophyll or the green pigment to break down. So if you have leaves that have keratin or xylophone, which are the pigments for yellow and orange, those are already presents in the leave all the time. So those will become more enhanced as the green breaks down. Interestingly enough though, the red pigment is caused by anthocyanins, actually get created as the leaves undergo this process. So the red pigment is created specifically for the fall when all the other pigments are actually found on the leaves all year.
[00:02:58.430] - Mikaela
Who knew death could be so beautiful?
[00:03:01.450] - Emily
I know.
[00:03:03.930] - Rachel
I love trees that have yellow leaves in the fall.
[00:03:17.740] - Emily
I know they're not native, but the lane by our office is aligned with ginkgo. And there's something about that beautiful yellow gold that they have. And when it all is like half fallen, so the path is covered in it and they're in the trees. They're just beautiful.
[00:03:31.440] - Rachel
They are really beautiful trees.
[00:03:33.050] - Mikaela
Do we have time for fun facts about ginkgo trees?
[00:03:36.550] - Rachel
Yeah, let's do some fun facts about ginkgo.
[00:03:39.370] - Mikaela
I got two fun facts. One is that ginkgo is like a dinosaur age tree. It just hails from a really long period of time, long ago. The second interesting thing is that a lot of those ginkgos planted on the streets, they are male, so they're diacious. They have a male and a female plant, and they primarily selected the males to plant because they don't produce these really stinky fruits, which if you guys have ever walked by ginkgo fruits, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. They're very fleshy, and then when they start to ferment, they're like, really stinky. Well, ginkgos have the ability to change their gender if they do not sense nice another female in the area. And so a lot of these male ginkgo trees have reverted to female so that they can reproduce and have created all of those stinky fruits people were trying to avoid.
[00:04:34.750] - Emily
So it's like Jurassic Park but with trees.
[00:04:37.300] - Mikaela
Yeah.
[00:04:38.950] - Rachel
That's pretty awesome.
[00:04:40.750] - Mikaela
The smell is very assaulting.
[00:04:44.050] - Rachel
Yes. But in a species chooses to be the gender that it can be to reproduce, that's pretty amazing, right?
[00:04:54.350] - Mikaela
Yeah, nature is really interesting that way.
[00:04:57.940] - Rachel
Yeah, it is really cool.
[00:05:00.100] - Emily
Nature finds a way.
[00:05:01.960] - Rachel
Exactly.
[00:05:04.210] - Emily
Okay, so the additional factors that will influence your leaf colors, particularly the weather and your leaf pigments. So obviously, trees and shrubbery that only produce certain pigments that kind of defines the coloration that they do. But the weather in particular can help determine how brilliant or bright those colors are going to be in the season. So the weather conditions that occur before and during the time where the chlorophyll in the leaves is dwindling, such as temperature and moisture, are going to be your main things. If you have a secession of warm, sunny days and then crisp, cool nights that are not freezing just a little bit cooler, that's when you're going to get the most vibrant color displays. During these days, a lot of sugars are going to be produced in the least, but those cold nights allow for the veins to kind of close up, to hold and maintain a lot of the sugar in the water. This will produce the most brilliant anthocyanide pigments, which is going to give you that red, purple, and crimson colors. Because the carotenes are always present in yellow and gold, they're going to remain pretty consistent year to year.
[00:06:09.650] - Emily
But those reds and purples will be much more vibrant when we have those nice, warm, sunny days, and then again those cool, crisp nights. The amount of moisture in the soil will also affect your coloration. So the countless combinations of high variable factors in the autumn will make it so that every autumn will be a little different. A late spring or severe summer drought can also delay the onset of fall coloration by a few weeks. A warm period during the fall will also lower the intensity of your fall coloration. And likewise, a warm, wet spring and a favorable summer and warm, sunny days and with those cool nights will produce your more vibrant colorations. So now that we kind of understand a little bit about the science behind our fall leaf, what are some of you guys'favorite fall foliage trees?
[00:06:57.460] - Mikaela
So we actually had to narrow this down because we had a pretty long list when we started. But we've all pretty much concurred on these particular trees when it comes to fall color and how they look.
[00:07:11.000] - Emily
So you guys have a top five list of great fall foliage trees, but we do have a few honorable mentions.
[00:07:17.070] - Mikaela
So the first one we can talk about real quick is red maple. And lots of people give this a lot of attention. It's iconic. But there are some other choices if you're willing to kind of look outside the box. Red maples, they can vary in color. They can be brownish to reddish. It really depends on the weather, just like all those factors Emily mentioned before. And the cultivars tend to have better fall color, probably selected for that reason.
[00:07:45.590] - Rachel
I kind of feel like red maple is like a scrub tree. I'm going to get some hate for that.
[00:07:50.900] - Mikaela
Well, it's very much you know a swampy tree. It likes to be in wetlands. It creates all those surface roots. So it really doesn't make a very good landscape tree. But that's where we put it because we like that fall color. Even the cultivars, you can't breed out the way the roots grow. You can't always breed out that it drops branches. It's got many branches, so you often have to thin them out. And there's a variety of factors. So even though they're used commonly as a landscape tree, it's probably not fair because there are better landscape tree picks. But as far as fall color goes, red maples are a good one to mention. We'll give this an honorable mention on our list.
[00:08:35.530] - Mikaela
Another tree family that I think should really make the honorable mentions list is anything in the hickory family, because a lot of the hickory trees turn beautiful, brilliant yellow color, and they're pretty distinctive in the forest. So bitternut or picnic hickory are pretty common around here. One of the lesser grown, but one of my other favorite trees is the shaggy bark hickory, which, just like its name implies, it has a really interesting bark that is super exfoliated like comes off in huge sheets. It's really cool. And they have high wildlife value because they produce all of those hickory nuts.
[00:09:16.570] - Rachel
So, Mikalea, do you think shaggy bark would be like, a great alternative for people that like that bark and plant crepe myrtles?
[00:09:29.350] - Mikaela
No. The only reason I say it not because it's not comparable to them, but it's just a little different in terms of exfoliating. So it's very peeling. It doesn't come off with different shades of colors. So a good substitute for crepe myrtle, I would think, would be Sycamore, because that's kind of similar in terms of it's got kind of like camouflage pattern with different colors. The shaggy bark hickory is more of just like its coarse texture is what gives it such an interesting landscape appeal. I'm trying to think of something comparable like, I guess silver maple, but it's even more intense than silver maple bark. I feel very strongly about trees.
[00:10:16.390] - Rachel
We know you do. That's why we're letting you do so.
[00:10:20.730] - Mikaela
Our last honorable mention and the reason it makes the list, because it has some of the most intense fall color is sweet gum, which people tend to be polarized about. People feel very strongly against sweet gums because they produce the seed pods that are quite large, and people think they're messy. They don't like them in their yard. But I still think it deserves an honorable mention because the fall color is very close to some of the best that we have on our list. It has different shades of maroon, of yellow, of orange. I mean, it really has kind of every spectrum of fall color. So I think it just deserves a little attention, even though it doesn't really make our list.
[00:11:07.090] - Rachel
I love sweet gum. I know that people really don't like it because of those seed heads, but I find them interesting.
[00:11:17.720] - Mikaela
They can be sort of aggressive. They produce a lot of seedlings, but in the right place, they are a great tree.
[00:11:26.410] - Rachel
Yeah, we have them on our property in the hedge row kind of area, and I think they're just a beautiful tree to have, especially in the fall. But then they give you some type of added benefit. I mean, think about all the different wildlife that are going to use those seed heads, too, and how they colonize a little bit. I think they're a great little tree to have.
[00:11:46.330] - Emily
Okay, so on that note, what would be a more interesting fall foliage tree than the red maple? The red maple is kind of the token one people go to. What are some other alternatives that you guys can think of?
[00:11:57.950] - Mikaela
So I'm manipulating the list as we talk because I felt like our number five was too good to be number five, so I bumped tulip poplar to number five, which is a very beautiful color. The leaf shape itself is already really interesting, and the leaves pretty much hold their shape when they change color. So it's not like they curl up and dye. They're pretty much they stay the same shape as they fall, and it's a very deep yellow. So the tulip poplar's mature height is up to 70ft, but it has a very narrow form, so it actually grows very straight and very tall, which is great. That means it doesn't form those multi branch trunks that are at risk for falling, like some of the maples are breaking and it creates great shade. And there's a tulip shaped bloom in the spring once it matures, which is another great bonus. It's great for pollinators and it's just really another iconic kind of leaf shape that we're particularly fond of out here on the Eastern shore, too.
[00:13:04.470] - Rachel
I love tulip poplars because of their interesting bark color as well, so it adds that winter interest to your landscape as well. Once the leaves are gone. It has a very modeled, almost white with gray bark color, and it's very smooth.
[00:13:21.190] - Mikaela
Okay, Rachel, what's number four?
[00:13:24.250] - Rachel
So number four is one of my favorite native trees, and that's the bald cypress. Although we're on the northern range for bald cypress, it is a beautiful tree to have in your landscape. And although many of our conifers are evergreens, the bald cypress is a deciduous conifer. So they shed their needle like leaves in the fall and back. The name bald cypress comes because they do drop their leaves so early in the season, and the fall color is like this bright, fiery orange, almost gold to cinnamon, and it's just such a beautiful tree and it has a very interesting bark as well. Now, they do like to be in somewhat wetter areas, so if you are going to plant one, you need to make sure that you have the size and the space for it and the wetness, because they like to have really.
[00:14:15.960] - Mikaela
Wet feet, and in fact, they will form what we call knees. So they're like little nodules of root mass that kind of pop up. And if it's in a really wet area, they grow in standing water. So they'll actually pop these knees up through the water, through the mud. It's just a really cool tree. Another really ancient species.
[00:14:37.750] - Rachel
It is a very ancient species, and like I said, if you have time to take a little trip to Trap Pond in Delaware and visit their bald cypress stand or to go canoeing through there, it is just an amazing trip. So it's one of my favorite places to visit.
[00:14:54.750] - Mikaela
We were down in Virginia Beach earlier this year, and First Landing State Park, which is just outside of Virginia Beach, also has some really cool stands of bald cypress swamp. There are a couple of areas I think that are sort of nearby, very coastal, but great opportunities to see bald Cyprus.
[00:15:15.490] - Emily
Yeah, I think these guys are particularly unique because you don't think of conifers as having fall foliage.
[00:15:22.360] - Mikaela
Exactly. Another really cool conifer that is also deciduous and also has a really cool fall color, is the larch, which is not I don't believe it's native to Maryland, but it is in the Midwest and in Wisconsin, and those were some of the coolest trees to see in the fall. Are these like deciduous evergreens? Which is an odd thing to say. Deciduous conifers, I think is a better term.
[00:15:46.510] - Emily
The number three tree on our list is black gum. Few trees are able to compete with black gum in regards to summer and fall color. In September, it's deep green foliage, gives way to an intense hues of red, orange, yellow and can even go into the purple scheme as well, which makes it a wonderful selection for home landscape. In the landscape, these trees can reach a mature height of about 30 to 50ft and can spread about 20 to 30ft. So it's a reasonable size tree, which makes it ideal for a home landscape, particularly compared to some of the other ones on our list.
[00:16:21.550] - Rachel
Now, when you think about black gum versus sweet gum, sweet gum is in a separate species altogether from black gum. So black gum, you're not going to get those messy balls like you do with sweet gum, so people can think about it that way.
[00:16:37.740] - Mikaela
That's a really good point, Rachel.
[00:16:39.650] - Emily
I believe the black gum does have fruit, though, so it does have a high wildlife value without like, the messy seeds that also kind of can add to it.
[00:16:49.210] - Rachel
Yeah, and that's incredibly important in the fall as our wildlife is storing up fat to hibernate or to migrate. So it's a really intrinsic tree to have in your landscape.
[00:17:02.530] - Emily
So we did have some debate about which one should be number one and which one should be number two. So, Rachel, would you like to tell us about our number two tree on this list?
[00:17:11.150] - Rachel
All right, so our number two tree, Sassafras. It is absolutely one of my favorite trees to find in the fall and even find in the midst of summer. And it produces some of the most interesting leaves of any woody species in the Northeast, in my personal opinion. The leaves are simple and alternate, and they are bright green in the summer, and then they turn this fire engine red and yellow and orange. So they have a mix of all of those colors in the fall. And the shape of the leaves is what's the most interesting aspect of the plant for me, because you have these different lobed leaves and they're just really interesting to find. An important fact is that it is an understory plant that grows on the woodland edge or in woods. So being an understory tree, it likes to be in part shade to part sun. It is really soil tolerant, so they'll grow in clay or loam or even sandy, acidic soil if there is adequate drainage provided. And they also need to be protected from heavy winds. Like, you just can't throw them in an area that's going to get really windy.
[00:18:25.630] - Rachel
sassafras has a really interesting history. It's native to North America and was used by the Native Americans for different medicinal uses and as a cooking spice. And this was recorded as early as 1577. The Choctaw Indians first used and dried the ground leaves as a seasoning and as a thickener, and then Sir Walter Raleigh brought it back to England from Virginia.
[00:18:51.220] - Emily
Awesome. Thanks, Rachel. So, Mikaela, what is our number one fall foliage tree?
[00:19:00.130] - Mikaela
Oh, man, super excited. So it probably is no surprise it's sugar maple. So while the red maple is more widespread and probably more common, especially out on the coastal plain and does have some nice fall color in itself, it's really hard to compare to the sugar maple. This hardwood tree belongs to the Piedmont and Mountain ranges, especially areas that have cooler climates. So we'll definitely find these more out west in Maryland and definitely in the Northeast and the Midwest of the country. It has maybe the loveliest fall, oranges, reds and yellows, but it's also better known for its sappy by product, aka maple syrup. And this tree is just the iconic fall tree. It's a medium sized sort of tree. It works well in the landscape. I think it represents up to like 9% or 10% of hardwood forests in its native ranges. But it definitely also makes a nice landscape tree for the fall color. Of course it's a nice shape. It doesn't get too large. I think it's about 40 to 50ft tall with an equal spread, if not maybe a little bit more. And I think some records have stated that in about 1663, a chemist informed Europe about this thin bark tree that produced a sweet sap.
[00:20:27.580] - Mikaela
It was something that Native Americans, of course, taught settlers about how they processed this product and probably the first beginnings, of course, of maple syrup. But Native Americans have probably been involved in it for much longer, much earlier than that. But that's kind of like the first recorded history about maple syrup. I won't go into maple syrup facts, but it also has wood that is highly sought after. It has high value in terms of lumber and definitely in wood making and furniture. And some other historic uses include making soap from the ashes, using the bark as a dye, and Native Americans would also use the inner bark to make a tea to treat coughs and diarrhea. But of course, we are not medical professionals. We do not advocate for the use of these type of products on your own without consulting your medical health care provider.
[00:21:25.270] - Emily
Awesome.
[00:21:26.350] - Mikaela
But we can advocate for maple syrup because that for sure is something that's delicious.
[00:21:34.270] - Rachel
That's a given.
[00:21:35.710] - Mikaela
All right, I think that concludes our very opinionated list of best fall color. Although we should also really quickly maybe talk about some shrubs that have equally good color. We narrowed it down to a lot of native plants, so I know Rachel's favorite is oak leaf hydrangea.
[00:21:57.880] - Rachel
It is my favorite, hands down, and not just because it has cool fall color, but the bark is just so cool, too. The bark is almost like a river birch. It has that, like, torn appearance. And I mean, the fall color for oak leaf hydrangea is outstanding. It's got that deep crimson, red, almost burgundy leaves that last for a long time. And then the flowers for an oak leaf hydrangea almost look like an upside down snow cone. So they're just absolutely beautiful. But you have to have the right space for it because it likes that part shade, part sun environment, and it can get really big if it's happy. I planted one probably eight years ago in like a corner of our house, and it had a good ten foot space, and the thing is taken over the entire space. I love it because it fills in a blank canvas and I don't really have to worry about anything in the summer because it's just this giant oak leaf hydrangea.
[00:23:06.920] - Mikaela
Another shrub that gets really cool, dark maroon leaves in the fall is Virginia Sweet Spire. And there's a lot of cultivars available that kind of highlight its fall color because it is so red. Another one of my really favorite one is anything in the blueberry family. So vaccinium, they will turn a wide range of yellows and oranges and reds as well.
[00:23:33.220] - Rachel
And we also have Eronia arronia.
[00:23:39.490] - Mikaela
Unfortunately, the Japanese beetle got my eriona this year, so I don't have a lot of leaves left for turning color, but still beautiful color, and I'm not sure if they go after our budifolia or not. I have melanocarpa, so maybe they are more resistant, but viburnum are fantastic.
[00:24:00.510] - Emily
That's one of my favorites. Yeah.
[00:24:02.340] - Mikaela
And there's so many different species of viburnum, and so they can change color at different times, so you can really have a nice staggering of color change depending on what species you plant. I have arrow wood viburnum at my house, and it seems to turn really late, and it will get like a maroon to kind of yellow color depending on where it is in the yard.
[00:24:25.770] - Rachel
And I know one of your favorites is sumac. I don't think you can talk enough about sumac.
[00:24:34.090] - Mikaela
I know Sumacs have the best fall color. You guys, everybody hates on sumac, but this time of year, let me tell you, they look fantastic. And they also have those clusters of berries, which are kind of very pretty as well.
[00:24:49.630] - Rachel
Yeah, they are beautiful. So those are our shrubs.
[00:24:53.270] - Emily
So hopefully we've convinced all of you guys, if you were considering putting in a shrub or tree anytime soon, these are some great additions to your landscape that will help heighten it during the fall. The fall is a great time of the year to plant trees and shrubs. There's a few exceptions of this. Things like dog woods, white oaks, tulip poplar, and some of those more softer wood plants do prefer to be planted in the spring. But as long as your soil is not frozen, you can plant a lot of these species in the fall. And there's some benefits from doing it in the fall and that it gives them a longer period of time to start establishing a root system before the summer heat really comes in. So if you are going to plant anything in the fall, we do recommend take that soil test first.
[00:25:38.090] - Mikaela
Ding, ding, ding.
[00:25:39.050] - Emily
Always take a soil test. It goes back to that. Putting a $5 plant in a $25 hole. Well, it's much easier to amend those soils now and plant and wait and plant in the spring if need be, then to plant and then take that test in the spring and find out that you need to shift things around when you already have a living plant in there.
[00:25:58.780] - Rachel
Very true.
[00:26:00.140] - Emily
Yeah. So some other tips for getting ready to plant, particularly trees and shrubs, is the soil around your site should be moist before you plant. So when you dig your hole, take a few minutes to kind of soak it down and make sure you soak the root ball as well before you put it in. This just gives the plant a nice good drink of water before it goes in, because, again, it doesn't have any root system established yet, so giving it that nice soak will be really beneficial to it. We do not recommend loosening up the soil underneath where you're going to be planting it. This can lead to compaction issues once you put the plant in. And as it grows, it will compact that area, making it harder for those roots to get established and to spread out. We also don't recommend adding organic matter into the bottom of the hole either. I know a lot of people think that this is really good because it gives nutrients to the plants right away. But what happens is the plant will sink its roots down into that layer of organic matter and it will stop spreading until it uses up all that organic matter.
[00:27:01.750] - Emily
The organic matter will also hold water there as well, which can eventually lead to root rot. Newly planted trees and shrubs do not require fertilizer for the first few years. And in fact, if you do fertilize them, they're going to take that fertilizer and spend a lot more time putting on leaves, which is not what you want them doing in the fall at all. And even in the spring, they'll put all of that energy into their lease. And what you really want those first few years is a good root system being built. So if you want more planting tips and advice on how to get that great $25 hole for your $5 plant, we recommend checking out the university of Maryland Extensions Home and Garden Information Center.
[00:27:40.980] - Mikaela
And just as a reminder, Home and Garden Information Center has a great series of YouTube videos covering like every topic imaginable on their YouTube channel, including how to plant a tree. So it's kind of nice sometimes to have a visual.
[00:27:56.390] - Rachel
Yeah, that's a great recommendation, Mikaela.
[00:27:59.580] - Mikaela
I always forget about it. I just watched one the other day, I'm like, I didn't know we had this.
[00:28:05.990] - Emily
So we know that when it comes to the fall, the trees and the shrubs tend to steal the spotlight because they're big, they're beautiful, they're bold, you notice them as you're driving around. But they are not the only plants that have some great fall color that add to our landscape. So for some of us, we might have limited size on our landscapes. The trees and shrubs may not be an ideal option for fall color. So Mikaela, I can tell you're super excited for this. What are some great grasses that you can plant to add some fall color?
[00:28:38.470] - Mikaela
So you guys told me to pick three grasses and three flowers. So I picked five of each. So I'm going to go ahead and say the five grasses. So we definitely have some really great options. And in fact, I'm going to change one of my answers on the spot because I think it will be better suited for a home garden situation. I'm going to talk about some grasses that are more manageable size. Emily is totally right. Not everybody has the space to plant a tree or a shrub. But certainly even if you have a little strip of lawn, you could easily replace them with some native grasses or fall blooming wildflowers. So top five grasses, little blue stem has the best color probably hands down. It turns like reddish color in the fall. It's got beautiful fuzzy seeds on it. There's a lot of different varieties available, different cultivars, but even the straight species is really great. You know, I also have to mention broomsedge because it's probably one of my all time favorites. And not to mention it's going to give you color all winter long. So not only does it look great in the fall, but it will continue to look great throughout the season until you cut it down in the spring.
[00:29:52.290] - Mikaela
Purple love grass is one that people don't often think about, but this is a very short grass. It's only like, I think 2ft tall maybe. And it looks like clouds of pink seeds. It's really beautiful and it's really good for tough soils, like really dry areas. So it might be great next to sidewalks or actually I find it on the side of the road all the time where there's like really crappy soil. It's really hot and dry. But co is another one. And I know you guys are familiar with this one as well. The seed head is probably the most distinctive. It's the largest seed and they kind of droop and they make a little soft clacking noise when the wind blows them. They really are beautiful, but they can be aggressive if you don't cut those seed heads back after a certain amount of time. So if you're worried about them spreading, after you've enjoyed them, cut them back. Although I encourage to leave them because they look great through the season, and then prairie drop seed is one that's one of my favorites, just like the name implies, the seed is very globular, so it's very round and the leaves are very tidy and they're shorter.
[00:31:00.380] - Mikaela
But then the stocks that have the seeds on them grow a little bit taller, and they really do. They just look like little drops, droplets of golden light. So prayer drops. I know, isn't that poetic? So I really do like prairie drop seed. I think that makes a really nice landscape grass.
[00:31:17.810] - Emily
So I know one of my favorite fall blooming native perennials is golden rod. I love the little pops of yellow. I just think it's a really pretty plant. I know that sometimes they can get a little ratty looking, like they're not very manicure-ish because they're sort of all over the place, but they have a very high wildlife value. They have all kinds of native bees that will come to them. They have several different goldenrod beetles that you can find on them. You will oftentimes find the golden rod spittle bug on them, which if you come and it looks like there's a big blob of spit on it, that's a spittle bug. He's living inside there. He's not going to harm the plant, he's not going to hurt you, your pets or your kids, but he just lives inside this big spit wad in order to keep himself safe. I think that they are super fun. The nice thing about golden rod is that there are lots of different varieties, so that you can probably find one that's ideal for your soil type in your environment. There's the seaside one, which I believe tolerate wet a little bit better, and there's, I don't remember the variety, but there's one that tolerates the heat a little bit better if you have dry soil. So it's a really nice, diverse group that gives you that little pop of yellow in the fall time.
[00:32:27.690] - Mikaela
Emily is exactly right. We have something like 27 different species of golden rod, and you mentioned sometimes they can look ratty. I think that's a couple of species, not all of them look ratty, depending on where they are and how bad the summer was. So I agree that there's probably a species that could fit in anywhere. There's also wreath goldenrod, which does a little bit better in the shade and in woodland environment. So it doesn't necessarily need a full sun hot environment. It doesn't need to be a meadow. It can fit in well, in the home garden as well.
[00:33:02.450] - Rachel
I think it's really important to mention that in the fall we get a lot of complaints or you hear a lot of people saying, "oh, that golden rod. My eyes are itchy. I'm sneezing," but in actuality, the culprit is going to be ragweed, and both plants are members of the Asteriska family and they grow very commonly in roadsides and ditches or open fields. But golden rod flowers have a heavier pollen that stick to our insect bodies versus ragweed. The ragweed pollen is very lightweight and easily transferable, and the pollen for ragweed has the ability to blow for miles. And one single ragweed plant is capable of producing over a million pollen grains, so what you think is golden rod causing your allergies is an actuality ragweed. And ragweed is a very inconspicuous plant, and it really doesn't have a very bright bloom like goldenrod. So that's why the two are easily confused when you get that fall allergy.
[00:34:13.630] - Mikaela
So the Astra group is a very broad group that belongs to the composite flower family, which is really critical to a lot of pollinators because it provides a lot of different species of bee and insect with access to nectar and pollen. But we have all sorts of different aster of different shapes and sizes and colors. My native plants of the month is actually an astras . I'm not going to linger on this particular group right now. But whitewood Asters is another one, which actually is not in the symphony of tricky genus. It's in its own genus, but it also is very attractive. And this is a really nice option for shady areas. Most of the asters prefer full sun, but whitewood aster, just like the name implies, will grow in more shaded environments. And it's a very tough plant, so it can handle dry and even handle kind of wet. The area I have it in is fairly wet and it seems to be doing just fine. And then one group I think is also worth mentioning because these late season nectar sources are super important to all of our insects, is late flowering boneset, which is a type of euphoriterium, or common boneset, which is a different species of eupitorium.
[00:35:27.730] - Mikaela
But both of them produce small clusters of white flowers, very distinctive, and they're usually pretty tall and they can grow in just about any soil condition available. So some people actually think they're weeds. I get at least one picture a year, probably more than that, where people are asking about boneset and wondering if it's a weed that they should remove. So my last pick is swamp sunflower, which is a plant that I spend all year waiting to see because it's probably the last blooming perennial in the landscape. I don't know if you guys can refute that claim or not, but it can bloom into November sometimes. And just like it says, it's a sunflower, so it's a very bright yellow flower that's very distinctive. So it's really kind of cool to see such a cheery bright color at the end of October and beginning of November. So that kind of endears it to me a little bit because it's like that's how I know fall is over and that we're approaching winter is when the sunflower blooms and when it starts to fade away.
[00:36:39.630] - Emily
Well, that's a great list of flowers, which can also help add a pop of color in your garden in the fall.
[00:36:46.820]
:Bird song: It's the Native Plant of Month with Mikeala.
[00:37:00.670] - Mikaela
Okay, so my native plant of the month is no surprise. It's New England Aster, which is Symphyotrichum novae-angliae, which is maybe not the right pronunciation, but I gave it my best shot. So, just in time for our topic of interest this month is New England Aster, and it's a great pick for September. This is a native herbaceous perennial that is easily identified by the electric purple flowers, and they have bright yellow ray flowers in the center, so it's a very iconic looking aster. But this plant is not for shy growers. It does reach heights of four to 7ft tall, depending on where it is. The stems are very stiff and hairy, and you almost need to plant other things around it to have a support system so it doesn't flop over. The aster flowers are particularly notable because they are part of those late season bloomers, attracting lots of wildlife like bees and butterflies. And it is important to provide these pollinators with the source as they approach colder weather, and distinctly important for migrating monarch butterflies as well. So it's a great pop of late season color. It's very bright, distinctive, but it also is really good for clay soils, although it prefers good drainage.
[00:38:17.060] - Mikaela
I find it ironic that it'll grow in clay soils because they have poor drainage, so it kind of is pretty adaptable. I really look forward to seeing these in the fall, and they completely changed the look of the landscape just because that color is so vibrant. I will say that I have occasional challenges with this plant. This year the Japanese beetle seemed to really be attracted to the foliage, so the foliage took a hit. But this does not necessarily affect the flowering, which will happen in the fall. And the plant has a nice habit of spreading, but not aggressively so. It's really easy to propagate, and whenever I find like a little seedling, I'll move it to a place I want it to grow or I'll share it with somebody. Now, there are lots of different cultivars available with shorter heights or different variations of flower color, but honestly, I don't think anyone can beat just the straight species when it comes to the color of the flowers, so I just don't mess with it and I don't even try. But that's my native pick of the month. I have a hard time narrowing it down to one aster, but this is definitely the front runner.
[00:39:24.430] - Rachel
You know, this was the very first native plants that I planted.
[00:39:32.090] - Mikaela
It is a special plant.
[00:39:33.070] - Rachel
It's a special plant for me. Yeah. I bought it Atkins during one of their plant sales, like, 20 some years ago. Oh, my God. And this was probably when I was still living at home, and now it's kind of taken over some of my dad's back pasture, but it's completely fine. Like, he doesn't care.
[00:39:56.170] - Mikaela
Good. Well, I was going to ask you, and I was going to ask you in what location do you have it and do you have to support it or anything?
[00:40:05.930] - Rachel
He just lets it go.
[00:40:07.290] - Mikaela
Yeah, I do, too.
[00:40:08.930] - Rachel
Yeah.
[00:40:09.960] - Mikaela
You just go aster! You be you.
[00:40:12.410] - Rachel
Yeah. It's a really good mix that he has. Like, that's a mix between asters and golden rod. They pair so well together because of the purple and the yellow, the opposite spectrums of the color wheel. Yeah. So it's a really good plant. Those are two really good plants to pair together.
[00:40:34.730] - Emily
I was reading Braiding Sweet Grass at the beginning of the year, and she has a whole section where she talks about one of her grad students did a thesis project looking at why you find goldenrod and aster commonly together. And I can't remember what the conclusion was, but that just made me think of that. Anyway. Okay, awesome pick for native plant of the month.
[00:40:56.020]
:Buzzing sound: It's the Bug of the Month with Emily.
[00:41:04.890] - Mikaela
And I both love and hate your pick.
[00:41:10.090] - Emily
Yeah. I feel like this group of bugs is a little misunderstood. They're one that we have a lot of negative feelings around because of the potential for them to sting. And they do tend to get more aggressive in the fall as they're wearing out their queens that will be overwintering. So my pick for bug of the month for this month is paper wasps. This is a type of wasp, so it's in the family vespidea, so it has the notched eye. You've got roughly about 300 species worldwide. Paper wasps are semi-social insects, meaning that they form a colony that contains three classes. So they'll have workers, which are females. They'll have a queen, which is your reproductive one, and then they'll have drones or males that are basically just there for mating, and then they throw them out. So there are many different types of paper wasps that will have different habits and life cycles. The ones you're going to commonly find here in the Mid-Atlantic area are going to be about 3/8 to 1/4 of an inch in length. They're going to have brownish to yellow markings. We've got a few species that will have some red markings.
[00:42:14.720] - Emily
They tend to have a slender, narrow waist with kind of smoky black wings that are folded when they're at rest. Paper wasp should not be confused with yellow jackets, which a lot of people will confuse them because yellow jackets have very similar colorization. Their also in the family Vespidae. Yellow jackets are the ones that actually make the big round nest that looks like it's made out of paper, which is why a lot of times people assume those are paper wasps because they think paper nest paper wasps. So paper wasps make the small umbrella shaped nests that are going to have open, exposed cells in that honeycomb sectioned, shape versus yellow jackets are going to have this sealed in nest. Bald faced hornets are another one that oftentimes get confused with paper wasps because, again, they are these colonizational ones. They sting, they can become aggressive, particularly in the fall. Again, the paper nests are going to be open cells and they tend to be in an umbrella like shape, and they tend to be a lot smaller. Like your paper wasp nest is going to be maybe about the size of your two fists, kind of put together a little bit bigger, but they're not going to be like football plus larger shape, which your hornet nest and your yellow jacket nest will get.
[00:43:31.150] - Emily
Although they are not aggressive, paper wasp can sting, making them a concern for many people, especially if that wasp is building their nest in or around the homes. And a lot of times they'll build underneath rafters or the door frames and stuff like that. I actually have a paper wasp nest that's in the boxwood next to my mailbox. So I really carefully had to trim the bush back so my mailman could get pass it and not have to worry about it. But you know what? You just prune a little and you let them calm down and you prune a little.
[00:44:00.070] - Emily
Because the one thing about paper wasps is while a lot of people are scared of them because of the fear of them getting stung, paper wasps are actually incredibly beneficial. They feed their larvae exclusively small caterpillars. So these are incredibly beneficial to have near AG fields or even near your home for your garden, because these are going to come in and feed on all these tiny young caterpillars. Those caterpillars aren't feeding on your plant. The adults feed on pollen and nectar and are sort of pollinators to some extent, but not the same way we think of a bee being it. But these guys do have some beneficial aspect with regards to bio control.
[00:44:36.730] - Emily
So during the winter, most paper wasp die, except for the new queens. And the queens will survive winter by nesting in protected places, such as under the barks of trees or on the cracks and crevices around structures. In the spring, queens will emerge and they will find your location and they'll start building their nest and colony for that year. Some queens will build solely on their own. Others will band together with several queens that will build a nest together until eventually one establishes herself as a dominant queen and forces the rest to be workers, basically. So they make their nests by scraping and chewing wood into a pasty pulp like consistency and then they shape that into the honeycomb cells. An exposed kind of umbrella shape tend to be built in protective locations such as shrubs on tree branches, porch ceilings, window and door frames, roof overhanging. If you've got a crack up in your attic, they can get into attics and build on the rafters the queen deposit an egg into a cell. After it hatches, you have a grub like immature insect that's fed the small caterpillars or other soft bodied insects. It will eventually pupate in that cell and then it will emerge out as an adult and it will become a worker to help rear other young, take care of the queen, build bigger nests and so forth. And the adults again feed mainly on nectar and pollen.

Although paper wasps do not readily attack people, they will sting if they feel threatened or provoked. So a lot of times if you get too close to the nest, you start shaking the shrubbery or something like that, they can feel provoked and they can sting. Their stinger is not barbed, so they can sting multiple times. They will die with the first hard frost. So at this point being September, I probably would recommend unless you have a nest that is in a very difficult location, it's probably not worth treating now and I would probably just live with it. If you do see a nest getting built in the springtime, you can definitely get some of the wasp or hornet spray and treat it. You can also call a pest control company to come out and deal with it. If you find the nest in kind of a more natural area or it's away from your structure, you should probably just leave it alone because again, these guys are beneficial.
[00:46:55.150] - Emily
Make sure that if you are using a wasp and hornet spray, that you read the directions and that you make note of the wind patterns so that it does not blow back in you. You want to treat early evening hours when the wasps are on the nest or around it. Do not use a flashlight to light up the nest as this will irritate the wasps. If it's something you're not comfortable doing, you can always hire to a pest control company to come and treat it. After the wasps are killed, you can knock the nest down and go ahead and dispose of it. If a new paper wasp colony continues to nest in the same area around your home, consider making some sort of alterations to the area. For example, a fresh coat of paint or varnish a lot of times will deter wasp from building nests as it makes a more slick surface so the nest does not stick as well. You can also keep your bushes well trimmed.
[00:47:45.880] - Emily
If they do start to approach you. You want to raise your hands up by your face, and you want to slowly back away. You want to remain calm and avoid swatting, or running as these quick motions could potentially cause the wasp to attack or sting. And if you wear light colored clothing, so light gray or whites, this also reduces the chance of a wasp approaching you. Unlike honeybees, paper wasps have a smooth stinger, so they can sing multiple times. If you are stung, you can put some ice on the area to do a cooling effect and to smooth it down. I will say that their venom tends to be less of an issue compared to honeybees, because, again, they have a smooth stinger, so they're stinging in, and it's not like you've got the stinger and the venom sack still in you. So the stings tend to be a little bit more docile than compared to a honeybee. And that is my bug of the month.
[00:48:37.710] - Mikaela
It's a good one, man.
[00:48:39.210] - Rachel
That is a good one.
[00:48:40.130] - Emily
Yeah.
[00:48:40.920]
:Music: It's your Garden tip of the Month with Rachel!
[00:48:55.190] - Rachel
All right, so it's time for your tip of the month. First and foremost, we're headed into fall. And although fall doesn't officially start until September 22, hopefully by September 22, we're not in the Indian summer where it's, like, nice and cool in the morning and then blazing hot by the afternoon. Hopefully Maryland kind of figures out what she's doing, and
[00:49:22.550] - Emily
I'm not holding my breath.
[00:49:24.650] - Rachel
So as we go into the fall, remember that poison ivy leaves are going to change this month. So they're going to change from that nice, shiny green leaf to a very beautiful red leaf. That's one plant that we didn't talk about.
[00:49:40.810] - Mikaela
You know what? That should be a notable mention because they are very attractive.
[00:49:47.070] - Rachel
They are so attractive.
[00:49:49.450] - Mikaela
Super bad to touch.
[00:49:51.130] - Rachel
Yeah. And I'm pretty sure that Mikaela could just walk near one and get a rash from poison ivy. So we've talked about planting trees and shrubs this episode as well. But if you're going to plant this fall, try to avoid planting one type of shrub or one type of tree. We call this a monoculture, and when you're planting this type of environment, your trees and shrubs can be more susceptible to diseases and insects and are typically host specific, so you run the risk of losing entire colonies that you're planting. So mix it up a bit. In most cases, healthy, mature trees and shrubs do not require fertilizer, like Emily mentioned. And woody plants can receive nutrients from lawn fertilization if their roots are adjacent or growing underneath turf. So that's why we usually don't fertilize our trees and shrubs. And then the roots also take up nutrients from decaying mulches and leaves and different minerals from our soil. It's a really good month to take a soil test. If you're planning on doing any lawn revitalization or if you're planting any trees, shrubs, or perennials, hold off pruning any of your trees and shrubs until later in the fall and into the winter. Pruning stimulates growth, and any new growth produced now will not have a chance to harden off before winter, so you have more of a chance of actually harming those trees or shrubs.
[00:51:27.170] - Rachel
Spruce spider mites are active and growing on evergreens, so you want to monitor the pest by holding a piece of white paper underneath the branch and then tapping that branch down on top of the white paper. And you're going to look for black specks of moving pepper. And you can control this with an ultra fine horticultural oil, but do not use horticultural oil on blue spruce. And always make sure that you're following the label instructions and wearing your personal protective equipment. If you're going to fertilize your lawn, you want to do it in accordance with the University of Maryland Extension Fertilizer schedule and the Maryland Department of Agriculture regulations on l lawn fertilizer make sure that you sweep any fertilizer that lands on sidewalks or driveways back into the grass so that we don't have any issues of runoff from rain incidents and having fertilizer wash off into your storm drains. If you have a really bad area in your landscape that you just can't grow turf, think about this as a perfect opportunity to convert that lawn area into a lawn alternative like a flower bed or maybe plant some shrubs there, but first, always do your soil test.
[00:52:41.720] - Rachel
I love September and October because it's a really good chance for me to go through all the different varieties of bulbs that are coming out and pick out what I want to plant. So if you're like me, and I'm sure I talk about this every fall, it's like I'm beating the drum. Look for some different varieties. I have really grown to love re-blooming bearded irises because they bloom in the spring and they bloom in the fall. It's the perfect time to find a different variety that you might want to incorporate and order it and plant it. You want to do your ordering in September so you can get it in the ground before November before we get that hard freeze. And then it falls a really good time. You can still work in your vegetable garden. You can plant lettuce, radishes, kale if you like, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage. You can buy transplants at a local home and garden store or a big box and plant those. Invest in a floating row cover so that you can cover those cold weather crops from insects like cabbage, worm and harlequin bugs so that you don't have any pests on them. They do really well under a floating row cover and they can last into November. So that's all the tips I have.
[00:53:56.890] - Mikaela
Awesome. Because as we know, September is always a really busy time of year. So I'm always thankful that Rachel reminds me of all the things I need to do.
[00:54:07.010] - Rachel
Add it to the list.

Kratom: The Double-Edged Leaf and Addiction
Table of Contents
In recent years, a substance known as Kratom has been making headlines, often touted as a natural remedy for various ailments. However, there is a side to Kratom that is less talked about but critically important to understand, especially for individuals who find themselves struggling with Kratom addiction or those who are concerned about a loved one. Kratom, while derived from a plant, is not without its risks and potential for addiction. In this article, we aim to shed light on Kratom, its effects, and the importance of being informed about substances that may impact one's journey to recovery.
Whether you are personally affected or seeking to support someone in your life, knowledge is a powerful tool in addressing the challenges that Kratom can pose. At The Nestled in Las Vegas, we believe in empowering individuals with the information and resources they need to make informed decisions about their health and well-being. Let's delve into the world of Kratom and explore what it means for those on the path to recovery.
What Is Kratom?
Kratom, scientifically known as Mitragyna speciosa, is a tropical tree native to Southeast Asia, primarily in countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia. The leaves of this tree have been used for centuries in traditional medicine, but in recent times, they have found their way into Western markets, often marketed as a natural remedy or supplement.
The Kratom Tree and Its Leaves
The Kratom tree belongs to the coffee family and thrives in tropical climates. Its leaves are the primary source of the substances that have made Kratom popular. These leaves can be consumed in various forms, including as a powder, in capsules, or brewed as tea. Some people also chew the raw leaves.
Active Compounds in Kratom
Kratom leaves contain several active compounds, but the most notable are mitragynine and 7-hydroxymitragynine. These compounds interact with opioid receptors in the brain, which is why Kratom can have pain-relieving effects. However, this interaction with opioid receptors is also what makes Kratom potentially addictive.
Different Strains and Colors of Kratom Leaves
Kratom leaves come in different strains and colors, which are often used to market the product in various forms. The colors – red, green, and white – refer to the color of the veins in the leaves. Some believe that different colors and strains have different effects, but it's important to note that such claims are often not backed by scientific evidence.
As we delve further into the effects and risks associated with Kratom, it is crucial to recognize that, despite being a natural substance, Kratom has the potential for abuse and addiction. In the following sections, we will explore the rise of Kratom use, its effects, and the importance of seeking help for Kratom addiction.
The Rise of Kratom Use
Kratom has been used for centuries in Southeast Asia, but its surge in popularity in the Western world is relatively recent. This rise can be attributed to various factors, including marketing strategies that often portray Kratom as a natural and safe alternative to conventional medicine.
How Kratom Gained Popularity in the Western World
In the early 2000s, Kratom started to gain attention in the United States and other Western countries. Its popularity grew through internet forums, where users shared their experiences. Online vendors began selling Kratom, often marketing it as a natural remedy for pain, anxiety, and depression. The ease of access through online platforms contributed significantly to its spread.
The Marketing of Kratom as a "Natural" Alternative
One of the key selling points for Kratom has been its natural origin. Many vendors and proponents of Kratom emphasize that it is a plant-based substance, which they suggest makes it a safer alternative to prescription medications. However, it is essential to understand that just because something is natural does not necessarily make it safe.
The Reality Behind the "Natural" Label
While Kratom is derived from a plant, its effects on the human body can be complex and potentially harmful. The active compounds in Kratom interact with opioid receptors in the brain, similar to opioids like morphine. This interaction can lead to dependence and addiction. Additionally, the lack of regulation means that Kratom products can vary in potency and purity, sometimes containing contaminants or other drugs.
In this context, it is crucial for individuals, especially those in recovery or struggling with addiction, to approach Kratom with caution. The portrayal of Kratom as a harmless natural remedy can be misleading, and understanding the substance's true nature is vital in making informed decisions regarding its use.
Short-term Effects
In small doses, Kratom often acts as a stimulant, with users reporting increased energy, alertness, and sociability. However, in larger doses, it can have sedative effects, similar to opioids. Some of the short-term effects include:
Euphoria
Increased energy and focus
Pain relief
Drowsiness
Reduced anxiety
Long-term Effects
Prolonged use of Kratom can lead to a range of adverse effects, including:
Weight loss
Insomnia
Fatigue
Constipation
Darkening of the skin
Loss of appetite
The Potential for Kratom Addiction and Dependence
As mentioned earlier, the active compounds in Kratom interact with opioid receptors in the brain. This interaction can lead to physical dependence, where the body adapts to the drug and requires it to function normally. Additionally, users may develop a psychological addiction, craving the drug and its effects. Withdrawal symptoms can occur when usage is reduced or stopped, including:
Muscle aches
Insomnia
Irritability
Aggression
Emotional changes
The Risks and Dangers
While Kratom is often marketed as a natural alternative for managing pain and anxiety, it is essential to recognize the risks and dangers associated with its use. This is particularly important for individuals who are in recovery or struggling with addiction, as Kratom can have a significant impact on one's mental and physical health.
Health Risks Associated with Kratom Use
Kratom's interaction with opioid receptors can lead to a range of health risks, including:
Respiratory depression
Increased heart rate and blood pressure
Liver toxicity
Seizures
Increased risk of mental health disorders such as depression and anxiety
The Impact on Mental Health and Well-being
Kratom can have a profound effect on mental health. While some users report temporary relief from anxiety or depression, others experience worsening symptoms over time. Dependence on Kratom can also lead to social isolation, financial problems, and difficulties in relationships, further exacerbating mental health issues.
The Dangers of Mixing Kratom with Other Substances
Combining Kratom with other substances, especially opioids, alcohol, or sedatives, can be extremely dangerous. This combination can lead to respiratory depression, where breathing becomes shallow or stops altogether, which can be fatal.
Legal Status and Concerns
The legal status of Kratom varies by country and even within regions in the United States. Some places have banned or regulated Kratom due to concerns about its safety and potential for abuse. The lack of regulation in areas where it is legal raises concerns about the purity and consistency of Kratom products.
The risks and dangers associated with Kratom use are significant, especially for individuals struggling with addiction or in recovery. It is crucial to approach Kratom with caution and to be informed about its effects on mental and physical health. If you or someone you know is using Kratom and experiencing adverse effects, it is important to seek help and support.
Seeking Help for Kratom Addiction
Recognizing and acknowledging Kratom addiction is the first step towards recovery. It is essential to understand that addiction to Kratom is a serious issue that requires professional help. In this section, we will discuss how to recognize the signs of Kratom addiction and the importance of seeking treatment.
Recognizing the Signs of Kratom Addiction
Some signs that may indicate a person is struggling with Kratom addiction include:
Increased tolerance, needing more Kratom to achieve the desired effects
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms when not using Kratom
Using Kratom despite negative consequences on health, relationships, or finances
Inability to cut down or control Kratom use
Spending a significant amount of time obtaining, using, or recovering from Kratom
The Importance of Professional Help
Kratom addiction, like any substance addiction, can be challenging to overcome alone. Professional help can provide the support, resources, and treatment necessary to address the underlying issues associated with addiction and to develop strategies for managing cravings and avoiding relapse.

Be Patient: Recovery is a process that takes time. Be patient and understand that there may be setbacks.
Stay Involved: Attend family therapy sessions if possible, and stay involved in their recovery process.
Taking Control: The Path Away from Kratom

As we have explored in this article, Kratom's interaction with opioid receptors can lead to dependence and addiction, with a range of adverse effects on physical and mental health. It is imperative for individuals and their loved ones to approach Kratom with caution and to be informed about its true nature.
If you or someone you care about is struggling with Kratom addiction, it is crucial to recognize that professional help is available. Addiction is a complex issue, but with the right support, treatment, and determination, recovery is attainable.

How can a dominatrix cam session improve communication with your partner?
Exploring the world of BDSM can be an intimate and thrilling journey to embark upon with a partner. However, for some, the idea of incorporating a Dominatrix into their bedroom activities can be intimidating or taboo. Yet, with the rise in popularity of cam sessions and virtual experiences, more individuals are discovering the benefits of exploring with a Dominatrix.
One of the most significant benefits of engaging in a Dominatrix cam session is improved communication between partners. Communication is the cornerstone of any healthy relationship, and this is especially true when it comes to BDSM. Unfortunately, it can be challenging to communicate one's desires, boundaries, and expectations.
Thankfully, a Dominatrix cam session provides a safe and controlled space where individuals can explore their BDSM desires and communicate with their partner. During the session, the Dominatrix will ask for the participant's limits, needs, and expectations, allowing them to communicate their desires effectively. In turn, this opens up room for discussion with one's partner about specific BDSM interests, which can lead to a healthier and more fulfilling sexual relationship.
Furthermore, a Dominatrix cam session can help couples navigate the often taboo subject of BDSM. Society often views BDSM as taboo or perverse, which can make it difficult for individuals to feel comfortable discussing it with their partners. Cam sessions remove the pressure of face-to-face interaction and provide an anonymous and safe space for individuals to explore their desires while feeling accepted.
In addition to improving communication, a Dominatrix cam session can help individuals develop trust in each other. BDSM is an intimate and intense practice that requires trust and vulnerability. A session with a Dominatrix can help individuals build trust with their partner, allowing them to explore their limits, desires, and fantasies without fear of judgement. When trust is established, it cultivates a stronger bond between partners and can translate to a more fulfilling and healthy relationship outside of the BDSM context.
Moreover, a Dominatrix cam session can help individuals discover their BDSM identity, which can further enhance communication with their partner. Many people are unsure of their BDSM preferences, and a session with a Dominatrix can help individuals better understand their desires, limits, and boundaries. This newfound understanding can then be communicated to their partners, guiding them through the BDSM experience more effectively.
In conclusion, a Dominatrix cam session can improve communication between partners in many ways. It provides a safe, anonymous, and controlled space for individuals to explore their BDSM desires, communicate their preferences and boundaries, and ultimately build trust with their partner. By developing a better understanding of their BDSM identity, individuals feel more comfortable discussing and exploring their desires with their partner, leading to a more fulfilling and healthy sexual relationship.

What Are the Benefits of Centipedes
Gulshan Banu
Other Pests
Centipedes offer numerous benefits to the ecosystem. Despite their unsettling appearance, these creatures are valuable predators that help control pest populations, reducing the need for harmful pesticides. They also contribute to soil fertility by decomposing organic matter, aiding in nutrient cycling. Additionally, the venom of centipedes holds potential medicinal properties that could be utilized for therapeutic purposes. Lastly, centipedes play a crucial role in soil aeration, promoting overall environmental health. Understanding and appreciating the multifaceted advantages of centipedes is essential for the development of sustainable ecosystems.
One surprising way centipedes benefit the ecosystem is by controlling populations of other arthropods, such as spiders and insects. Centipedes are voracious predators that feed on a wide range of invertebrates, including pests that can cause substantial damage to crops and gardens. By preying on these arthropods, centipedes help maintain balanced populations and prevent outbreaks of harmful species.
Additionally, centipedes play an important role in pollination. Although they are not typically considered major pollinators like bees or butterflies, some studies have shown that certain species of centipedes can transfer pollen while moving between flowers or plants. This incidental pollination contributes to the reproductive success of various plant species.
Furthermore, centipedes contribute to biodiversity by occupying different niches within ecosystems. Their ability to thrive in diverse habitats makes them valuable indicators of environmental health and stability. As part of the soil fauna community, centipedes enhance nutrient cycling through their feeding habits and decomposition activities.
The Role of Centipedes in Pest Control
The role of centipedes in pest control involves their ability to prey on various insects and arthropods, contributing to the regulation of pest populations. Centipedes are important components of biodiversity due to their predatory behavior and ecological interactions with pests. They are efficient hunters, using their venomous fangs to immobilize and consume their prey. With an appetite for a wide range of insects, centipedes help control populations of pests such as spiders, ants, cockroaches, termites, and silverfish. This natural form of pest control can have significant benefits for ecosystems by reducing the need for chemical pesticides or other interventions that may harm beneficial organisms. Understanding the role of centipedes in maintaining balanced pest populations is essential for sustainable management practices that promote biodiversity conservation and minimize human impact on ecosystems.
Centipedes as Decomposers: A Vital Job in Nature
Centipedes play a vital role in nature as decomposers, breaking down organic matter and facilitating nutrient recycling in ecosystems. Their contribution to nutrient cycling is crucial for maintaining the balance of elements required for life. Here are four key ways in which centipedes contribute to this process:
Organic matter breakdown: Centipedes feed on dead plant material, animal remains, and other organic debris found on the forest floor or within soil layers. Through their feeding activities, they accelerate the decomposition process.
Nutrient release: As centipedes consume organic matter, they excrete waste products rich in essential nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus. These nutrients become available for uptake by plants and other organisms.
Soil structure improvement: By burrowing through the soil, centipedes enhance its physical properties. Their movements create tunnels that allow air and water to penetrate more effectively, promoting healthier root growth.
Biodiversity support: The presence of centipedes in an ecosystem indicates a healthy food web with a diverse array of prey species supporting their populations. This diversity contributes to overall ecosystem stability and resilience.
Overall, centipedes act as important drivers of nutrient cycling processes, supporting both the health of ecosystems and biodiversity within them.
The Medicinal Potential of Centipede Venom
The medicinal potential of centipede venom lies in its diverse array of bioactive compounds, which have shown promise in areas such as pain management and cancer treatment. Centipede venoms contain a complex mixture of peptides, proteins, and enzymes that exhibit various pharmacological activities. These bioactive components have been found to possess analgesic properties, making them potential candidates for the development of novel pain medications. Additionally, centipede venom has been investigated for its anticancer effects due to its ability to induce apoptosis (programmed cell death) in cancer cells. Pharmacological research on centipede venom is ongoing, with scientists exploring the mechanisms underlying these therapeutic effects and identifying specific compounds responsible for their activity. Although more studies are needed to fully understand the medicinal applications of centipede venom, it holds great promise for future drug development in pain management and cancer treatment.
Centipedes and Soil Aeration: Improving Environmental Health
Enhancing soil aeration can contribute to the improvement of environmental health. Adequate soil aeration is crucial for maintaining soil fertility and supporting nutrient cycling processes. Here are four key ways in which centipedes, as important members of the soil ecosystem, can enhance soil aeration | eng | fa42003b-6cce-4693-a96e-f73e2f5c3b72 | https://www.pestkeen.com/what-are-the-benefits-of-centipedes/ |
Engine rebuild starts tomorrow
[/IMG]Parts arrived yesterday to rebuild the engine in my bigfoot. The nasty little gremlin did a bit of damage. But caught it in time. Its disassembled and waiting. Should be ready and running by the weekend. There's a picture of the gremlin in the gallery that always popped out at the worst time. When it wasn't around the engine was smooth and quiet. How it got there and when, I don't know. Nevertheless you just can't beat the pure pleasure of these machines. | eng | 86986bce-4acb-4aa6-b5d3-2e0fae5d6a5f | http://www.6x6world.com/forums/showthread.php?t=42789&s=4232641267d69f6d7adae82dc87440f2&p=240791&mode=threaded |

welcome to the autism shed
welcome to the autism shed
The team here at the autism shed know from lived experience that coming for diagnosis can be a confusing, disorienting and upsetting time. The process can also be uplifting, freeing and empowering. We are here with the experience, expertise and empathy to make the process as positive as possible.
The British Psychological Society Guidelines (2021) advise that assessment, formulation and diagnosis are carried out using gold standard measures by a multi-disciplinary team.
Jim Sharman
Our Philosophy
Our aim is to educate, empower and reduce stress in context – that might be with family, school or work. It is our philosophy that this is not done by fixing or treating the autistic person but supporting the person to understand themselves as fully as possible and providing information so that the context supports everyone to function to their fullest potential.
Pragmatic, useful and here as long as you need us
As a psychotherapist who has spent over fifty thousand hours working 1:1 with autistic people I understand that neurodevelopmental disorders have a profound impact on the autistic person and their family. Autism is not something that we view here as a superpower or a problem to be treated or fixed. We view autism pragmatically. There are areas that an autistic person will have strengths and other areas of life and relationships that will be challenging. We are the first practice that incorporates education and workplace assessment into our core report, recommendations and plan.
Multi-disciplinary
Each autistic person is completely individual. It is important that there is a multi-disciplinary perspective offered throughout the assessment, reporting and support process. We collaborate and debate following our meeting in order to offer a thorough assessment and reporting process. Every person at the autism shed has worked with autism for many years and the majority of us have lived experience of autism in one way or another. We strive to know you as fully as possible and do not presume that our experience will be the same as yours.
Gold Standard Testing
Accurately diagnosing autism can be complex, which is why it is important to use tried and tested tools used by professionals who have a depth of knowledge in autism.
The Autism Diagnostic interview – Revised (ADI-R) is a systematic, organised, and structured interview used for the diagnosis of children, teenagers and adults with an autistic spectrum disorder. In assessing with ASD, ADI-R together with ADOS-2 is used as the Gold Standard.
The Autism Diagnosic Observation Schedule (ADOSII) is a semi-structured, standardised assessment of communication, social interaction and play. This tool can be used in the assessment and formulation process for toddlers to adults with varying degrees of language skill. These tools supplement the multidisciplinary evaluation approach along with evidence from family, school and work setting settings.
Autistic people should be assessed according to (DSM-V, British Psychological Society, 2021). Georgie and the team are active in research to ensure that our knowledge is at the cutting edge of autism research.
We are committed to providing a service for all. If you are not able to afford the service please do get in touch. We believe that assessment, education and support should be for all. Our teaching, supervision and writing supports knowledge sharing – please get in touch if you would like us to produce one of our bespoke training packages fro your school or organisation. | eng | e10fe906-30a5-4fbc-8564-5a01e46e42b7 | https://theautismshed.com/ |

Don't Be Intimidated – File Your Truck Accident Lawsuit
After being injured in a truck accident, it might feel intimidating to file a personal injury lawsuit. Insurance companies can be fierce, and the thought of facing them in court is overwhelming.
If you're considering filing a lawsuit for injuries sustained in a truck accident, know that you're not alone. Between 2011 and 2021, fatal truck crashes increased by 49%. That's a concerning number. Many of those people filed lawsuits and recovered compensation with the help of a skilled attorney. This is something you can do as well.
Does the idea of facing a lawsuit alone make you anxious? With a lawyer on your side, you will be in good hands. They'll fight hard for you in the courtroom no matter how hard the other party tries to diminish your claims.
Your attorney will fight so you can relax
Personal injury attorneys are used to the intensity of insurance companies desperately trying to hang onto their money and not pay out on justified claims. This is all too common in the industry since insurance companies are for-profit businesses. This won't be your concern because your attorney will know exactly what to say and how to prove your case.
Know that you won't have to deal with any pressure from the other party. You'll be present and will likely need to speak, but your lawyer will take all the heat and advise you on what to say and do at all times.
You shouldn't have to pay your own medical bills
There is no reason to pay your medical bills out of pocket or allow yourself to fall into debt to the point where you need to declare bankruptcy. When your injuries are not your fault, the person who caused them should be the one to cover your bills. Usually, it's their insurance company who will pay, so don't feel bad about filing a lawsuit. Insurance companies have plenty of capital to pay claims – they just make it hard to get, which is why a lawsuit is required.
4 Tips to win your truck accident lawsuit
Going forward, here are some tips to help you win your lawsuit.
1. Hire a personal injury lawyer
The most important factor in winning your truck accident case is hiring a lawyer like this one. If you try to represent yourself, you probably won't win. If you do, you're likely to get only a tiny fraction of the compensation you would have received with legal representation. No matter how confident you might be about winning, once you get into the courtroom, you will be intimidated by the environment.
Worse, you'll be expected and required to follow all courtroom procedures even if you don't know the rules. The first time you have to file a motion and hold up the proceedings because you did it wrong, you'll quickly realize you need an attorney. Don't leave anything up to chance. Get legal representation as soon as possible. If you don't have money for a lawyer, find one who works on a contingency. You won't pay anything until or unless you win your case.
2. Keep detailed medical documentation
Documentation is critical for every lawsuit, but in personal injury cases, especially in no-fault states like Florida, winning your case hinges on medical documentation. You might be able to win some compensation in other states regardless, but no-fault states actually limit who can bypass insurance claims and file a personal injury lawsuit after a truck accident.
In Florida, for example, if your injuries don't meet the requirements for being significant or permanent, you can't sue the truck driver. If you file a lawsuit and can't prove your injuries meet the state's definition of a "serious injury," you won't win your case. The only way to prove this is through proper and thorough medical documentation.
3. Don't skip medical appointments
Winning your case will require demonstrating that you are legitimately injured and taking steps to recover. One thing insurance companies nitpick about is skipping medical appointments without a good reason. When you don't follow through with suggested care, it looks like you aren't injured and don't really need the money for medical bills.
4. Remain calm
Last, but not least, take a calm approach to your case and let your attorney handle the chaos, intensity, and any other stressful situations that may arise. Cases can get heated, but when you stay calm, you won't be touched by the flames.
You deserve to be compensated for your injuries
Whether you were injured by a commercial semi-truck, tractor-trailer, or any other vehicle, don't shy away from filing a lawsuit; don't let fear stop you from pursuing the compensation you deserve. | eng | 1182d3b9-a7b5-4701-9327-b9c78b15975b | https://articlesnatch.com/article/dont-be-intimidated-file-your-truck-accident-lawsuit/ |
I am attacking a city and would like to know how many hitpoints it has remaining. I have tried hovering over the hex and city plaque.
All you can see from the screenshot is that the city is in the red with hitpoints.
I know you could approximate this. However, when a city is in the red of a 100HP city. There could be as much as 15 HP remaining. The scale of the red bar makes it difficult to guess. So my question stands where I am not looking for just guess it answers.
It may be the city is totally ruinned, and just waiting for you to send some infantry units in to capture it (artillery can't capture cities, iirc). But, as it's Birmingham... I'd say leave it their til you have nukes and deal with it that way. | eng | b0845258-32e3-4da7-9700-fda73e383c83 | https://gaming.stackexchange.com/questions/53215/how-many-hit-points-does-a-sieged-city-have-remaining |
Welcome to Year 5
Spring Term
English
This term we will look at two wonderful books that will hopefully get you in the mood for your summer holidays and adventure! Both involve voyages of discovery and boats but are set at very different times!
Our first book is Homer's Odyssey and links wonderfully with our work on Ancient Greece in history. The version we will look at is a retelling by award-winning children's writer Gillian Cross. It charts the ten year epic voyage of Odysseus as he returns from the Trojan War to the island of Ithaca. On his journey he encounters all manner of perils, from the man-eating Cyclops and the evil sorceress Circe, to the deadly lure of the Sirens and the wrath of the sea-god Poseidon. Hopefully it will inspire some wonderful creative writing of our own!
Later in the term we will study Kensuke's Kingdom by the amazing Michael Morpurgo. Here we follow a boy called Michael as he sets out on a once in a lifetime adventure which sees him separated from his parents and shipwrecked on a desert island!

Description
The Drentsche Aa winds its way through a landscape where farmers have held sway for years. They have nevertheless managed to keep the landscape reasonably intact and have adapted to the meandering river with respect for nature. This is an area where fields have been made on bulbous ash trees, where fields have been laid out on higher ground and where meadows and meadows in lower-lying stream valleys can be found. The farmlands are dominated by Saxon farms around village greens. The result: a unique esdorp landscape like you can't find anywhere else. In a beautiful bocage landscape, open and closed areas alternate strongly, so that the picturesque area always remains exciting. From the starting point of the route, you can park your car for free at De Koningsberg, you cycle to a historic burial mound. Drenthe also houses several of these ancient graves and all burial mounds in the Netherlands are archaeological monuments. In these ancient hills the dead were given their final resting place. When someone died, he was kept in a coffin or urn, after which a burial mound was raised over the human remains. Several people were buried in a burial mound. Even burial mounds have been found that have been used in different times and that have been adapted and raised over the centuries. The burial mounds in Drenthe date from the Bronze Age. Another historical element during your trip is Motte Gieten. A motte-and-bailey castle is a type of fortress from the Middle Ages, usually made of wood and built on a landscaped mound of earth: a motte. A residential tower (donjon), castle or defense structure was built on that hill, and the earth with which the hill was raised often came from the moat that was dug around it. It is not clear whether the motte Gieten had a permanent resident and what the motte looked like in full uniform. | eng | 65b9a818-c980-4af3-9cfb-6db73b1d8fa5 | https://routiq.com/route/124993 |
A Look at Bipolar Disorder
1387 Words3 Pages
Bipolar disorder, also known as manic depression, is more than just ordinary mood swings. People suffer from periods of mania to periods of depression. Bipolar disorder is a significant medical condition that is a great health interest in America (Hopkins Medicine). The number of people being diagnosed with bipolar disorder increases every year; therefore, the importance of education and understanding of this disorder also increases because it can affect so many people's lives.
According to Johns Hopkins medicine, manic depression affects more than 5.7 million American adults--or about 2.6 percent of Americans age 18 and older in a given year. Both sexes are affected equally. Bipolar disorder does not discriminate against race, ethnicity, or social class. Adolescence or early adulthood is when bipolar disorder normally begins, with 25 being the average age. Although researchers have not yet identified the gene, it is believed to be hereditary and likely runs in the family (Hopkins Medicine).
The precise cause of bipolar disorder is not known, but there are a few components that to may lead to bipolar episodes. Experts believe bipolar people have biological changes in their brain and an imbalance in brain chemicals (neurotransmitters). Hormone imbalance is also believed to be a cause of episodes. People that have a blood relative with bipolar disorder have a greater chance of also being bipolar. When someone has a stressful, abusive event, or has suffered a great loss may also trigger bipolar (WebMD).
Symptoms of bipolar disorder can vary from mild to severe. The symptoms of mania consist of mood changes such as periods of feeling "high" or exceedingly happy and outgoing while also being agitated. People suffering from mania ...

These emotional states can alternate cyclically or one mood may dominate over the other. It is also possible for the two to be mixed or combined with each other. disorder, also known as manic depression, is a psychopathology that affects approximately 1% of the population. (1) Unlike unipolar disorder, also known as major affective disorder or depression, bipolar disorder is characterized by vacillating between periods of elation (either mania or hypomania) and depression. (1, 2) Bipolar disorder is also not an illness that remedies itself over time; people affected with manic depression are manic-depressives for their entire lives. (2, 3) For this reason, researchers have been struggling to, first, more quickly diagnose the onset of bipolar disorder in a patient and, second, to more effectively treat it. (4) As more and more studies have been performed on this disease, the peculiar occurrence between extreme creativity and manic depression have been uncovered, leaving scientists to deal with yet another puzzling aspect of the psychopathology.

,,Where is the Hover-bike stored?'' its probable something like a tunnel to launch it or some sort of storage room but the energy barriers seem a bit misleading (seems weird to have energy walls in an area that isnt really sealed off)
Also the things that hold the Craft seem oddly out of place...deosnt give the feeling that the objects have in this room.
(Nitpick woud be that the Robot with the bird-like pose look very simple but it kinda fits...just the one-piece neck and static legs look not like something that woud move)
I noticed that the placeholder is kinda like a clamp (there are 2 arms...the one you see in the front and the one that is in the shadow)
Maybe try to make it stand out like having some kind of bearing. Like a Clamp. I think it distracted me because it looked like the arms squeezed the carft just onto a wall to hold it.
also maybe have the arms maybe on the same hight to make it look more like a machine that woud hold all kinds of things...just make one arms look like being longer because hydraulic stuff...(cant really discripe it but the things shoud be on the same plane and one just having the ,,Clamp'' extending)
And i am aware that the beam is a Game object but you coud move them away a bit so the one on the left doenst cut on the carft. Or move the carft a little into the middle...i know its a weird perspectiv wich make things like that akward but scene just seems weird because the craft isnt in the middle or exactly between the beams that seal that area for that craftNot particularly! Instead of removing bits, try bending the legs forward a bit until they hit center mass! Here, I've done a bit of an edit: IEDIT: Metal Gear D has a similar design with regards to the legs and weight distribution! | eng | febfec4b-30fe-4713-965a-f2341aa77d88 | https://pixelation.org/index.php?topic=22396.msg184912 |

Celebrities And Chemtrails
You might have heard about chemtrails at one point or another in the past. While most people do not really think that much about them, some believe they are incredibly harmful. Why is the government not doing anything about it?!? Kylie Jenner, Hayden Panettiere, Billy Corgan, Roseanne Barr, and Erykah Badu are on record for not "trusting" chemtrails. Of course, the word itself is sort of a nonsense term. It is an alternate word for contrails, which is essentially just condensation trails that last a little longer in the sky. The assumption by some is that planes are leaving harmful chemicals behind, leading to the now infamous "chemtrails" term. | eng | c6e9b588-3792-4ad1-9c2f-ebdb8fdf245f | https://sciencesensei.com/bad-celebrity-science/16/ |

Rockstar responds to GTA V mod ban complaint. Well, let's explain what has happened first, a Mod "FiveM" lets you use of dedicated servers, but allows the user to have custom levels, assets, gameplay modes, and any addition mods, which is not possible and won't be possible in GTA Online. Which make clear sense, if they allowed this sort of things to happen then it would give people the unfair advantage, as it would be easier to exploit and it would make it a lot easier to hack into the game without even getting noticed.
This is where FiveM mod was useful in a way, it allowed users to have their own servers and do what they wish, honestly, I don't really see anything wrong with this (it would be good to have a devil's advocate to disagree with me), let users have custom servers of their own and everyone is happy.
Well, recently users that had the mod enabled, and any affiliated users are getting banned, completely locking them out of Rockstar. They weren't sure why they got banned, but the moderator of the FiveM subreddit Qaisjp confirms that the FiveM wasn't causing this issue, which actually was the reason they got banned. This got quite big, users getting furious with Rockstar, you know how it's like. This even got numerous media outlets posting, some with incorrect information, and some just jumping on the bandwagon.
Rockstar responds and confirms that the bans were the result of the FiveM mod, and that it does in fact violate their policies. "The FiveM project is an unauthorized alternate multiplayer service that contains code designed to facilitate piracy," Rockstar said in a statement. "Our policy on such violations of our terms of service are clear, and the individuals involved in its creation have had their Social Club accounts suspended."
Weirdly the mod contained code to make sure the game was using a non-pirated version of the game. Meanwhile, GTA V online has a ton of hackers still undetected, maybe this mod was a bigger threat. | eng | bd58ccda-88ed-4f74-94db-3cbe58f56311 | https://www.helpwithdiy.com/rockstar-responds-to-gta-v-mod-ban-complaint-contains-code-designed-to-facilitate-piracy/2015/ |
YEAR 4 : Schwartz and Coleridge-Taylor
In Year 4, we have been exploring the question 'What are the climate zones and how do they impact their inhabitants?' In literacy, we have retold the text 'Hodgeheg' by D. King Smith. We innovated the story changing the character and setting. We then went on to writing non-chronological report about different climate zones. The children really enjoyed their trip to Bristol Downs.
In maths, the children enjoyed exploring place value up to 10,000 including the formal methods of addition and subtraction. In the wider curriculum, we have been learning about the different climate zones thinking about the animals, plants and people who live there. In DT, we have designed and made money containers. Finally, in PE, we have been looking at net games and have improved our skills.
Term 2
In Year 4, we have been exploring the question 'Is the water we drink today the same water that Dinosaurs drank millions of years ago?' We have been learning all about the water cycle and exploring various different states of matters. The children have enjoyed taking part in a range of different science experiments.In literacy, we have been exploring the icy world of Starjik, which included solving the mystery of the missing boy and inventing a different ending to the story the 'Ice Palace'. We have also been studying discussion texts including whether we should wear school uniform to school or not. The children enjoyed exploring different people's views and opinions.
During maths, we have been learning how to find the perimeter of quadrilaterals up to express ourselves. The children finished the topic creating an eight-pose sequence. Finally, in D.T, we learned about heathy eating and the importance of a balanced diet in which they created a winter stew.
Term 3
In Year 4, we have been exploring the question "What did the Ancient Greeks do for us?' We have been learning all about the digestive system, human teeth and their functions and exploring food chains and webs. The children have enjoyed creating their own Greek pots using mod roc and then painting them. In literacy, we have been exploring a variety of Greek Myths such as Theseus and the Minotaur. The children wrote their own versions adapting the setting to make it their own. We have been focused on including subordinating conjunctions and using characters thoughts to portray feelings in our writing. We have also been studying persuasive texts, focusing on Greek culture and leisure activities.
During Maths, we have been focusing on understanding and manipulating multiplicative relationships us to express ourselves. The children finished the topic creating an eight-pose sequence. Finally, in computing we have been focusing on programming, learning how to write algorithms. The children have particularly enjoyed applying this new skill.
Term 4
In Year 4, we have been exploring the question, 'Does the light stay on when the fridge door is closed?' We have been learning all about where electricity is sourced from, the safety precautions we need to take when working with electricity and have designed and created their own circuits. In literacy, we have been writing adventure stories based on the novel 'Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo which the children have very much enjoyed.
In maths, the children started the term by learning about plotting co-ordinates on a graph. They then moved on to looking at different fractions and learning how to convert between mixed numbers and improper fractions. They have been learning how to add fraction with like denominators and using their knowledge of both mixed numbers and improper fractions to add two numbers. In Science, the children have been learning about how electricity is created and how it travels through the wires into our appliances.
In P.E, the children worked with the sports coaches to complete a dance and games unit. Finally, in DT, the children designed and created a buzzer game bringing together the learning from science and applying it to product design.
Term 5
Year 4 enjoyed exploring symmetry using 2d shapes and a ruler as the line of symmetry. The children took it in turns to create a pattern for their partner to copy.
In Geography we studied volcanoes. We discovered where to find them, how they are formed and what happens when they erupt. We used papier mache to make our own volcanoes and then a variety of 'magic' ingredients to make them erupt.
As part of our topic on The Romans in Britain, we visited Caerleon in Wales where there is a Museum, a Roman Baths and an Amphitheatre and Barracks. The children enjoyed a workshop with a Roman centurion, where they learned about the life of soldiers, wore a tunic and practised marching with a sword and shield. They followed orders given in latin and had a good attempt at forming the special battle formations of the Wedge and the Tortoise. We visited a barrack room and had the opportunity to wear metal helmets and upper body armour ...it was very heavy!! In the Roman Baths we watched videos telling us about how the Romans bathed, exercised and spent their leisure time. The mosaic floor was beautiful and the remains of the pool and the heated floors fascinating. Our final stop was the Roman Amphitheatre where we imagined Gladiators fighting while the crowd cheered them on. It was a great day out.
In Art Year 4 studied the Fauvist movement which began in Paris in the 1920s. Fauve in french means wild beasts which is what established artists thought of painters like Henri Matisse because they used the wrong colours when representing what they saw. Year 4 had a go at copying some fauvist paintings and did really well | eng | aeb43089-e89c-45f0-b39f-95367bf2802d | https://www.fairfurlong.bristol.sch.uk/children/class-pages/year-4-1 |

Over 6,000 Students Yet to Report to Junior Secondary
At least 6,000 students who sat for last year's Kenya Primary Schools Education Assessment (KPSEA) Examinations in Kajiado County yet to report to their respective Junior Secondary Schools (JSS).
The County Director of Education, Dr. Martin Cheruiyot says only 76% of the learners have so far reported to the various approved public and private junior secondary schools within the county.The director attributes the high number of missing students to the ongoing drought that has affected the source of livelihood of most of the residents.
Speaking to KNA in his office in Kajiado, Dr.Cheruiyot remarked that the education stakeholders in the county are putting all strategies in place to ensure that there is a 100% transition to junior secondary schools.
"We want to ensure that through the multi-agency approach, we will be able to reach out to the last child to ensure all children report to school. The government has approved many day schools for JSS so as to cut on boarding costs and the children can walk to schools. The only costs the parents will incur is the voluntary feeding program in the schools," he said
The County Director noted that children have an open reentry program to the schools even for those who dropped out due to various reasons.
"Our schools are open and they can come back. We have the whole of first term for reentry and we are hoping they come back as soon as possible irrespective of the challenges. The leadership should be able to address those challenges," said Dr.Cheruiyot
Dr.Cheruiyot further instructed the teachers not to charge any extra levies on the parents saying that the government has already deployed teachers for the JSS and is distributing teaching materials from Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD).
"Some of the issues we are seeing regarding transition is because some schools are having hidden costs that don't come to our attention. That should desist. Children in JSS should walk to class even in grade six uniforms. For JSS, not a single coin should be paid by the learners and we will deal with the concerned schools as we get the information. We must be able to embrace our children unconditionally even with the challenges they come with," said Cheruiyot.
He has cautioned parents and teachers who have registered their grade six students for Kenya Certificate of Primary Examinations saying that the National Education Management Information System (NEMIS) will eventually track them and they will be forced to go back to the grade they are supposed to be in.
"We are thinking of penalizing the teachers who are helping the parents and learners to register for KCPE instead of enrolling them in JSS," he said. | eng | 18f68174-007b-4414-871a-b50dc7ec8a14 | https://www.kenyanews.go.ke/over-6000-students-yet-to-report-to-junior-secondary/ |

Don't Take Our Word For It!
Why Dental Implants? What You NEED To Know
Why Dental Implants? What You NEED To Know
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are replacement tooth roots that are inserted into your jaw. Dental implants are made from specific materials which easily assimilate to the rest of your body. They support a prosthetic tooth that will blend in with your natural teeth.
Because of the strong materials that implants are made of, they are more toothlike than any other dental prosthetic. They replace every part of the tooth, from root to crown. If you're looking for a reliable tooth replacement, dental implants are worth a try.
Can I Just Live With Missing Teeth?
You should not delay treatment for missing teeth. Missing teeth can have a detrimental impact on your self-esteem, your oral health, and your overall health. You can develop low self-esteem, gum infections or malocclusions, and malnutrition or digestion issues.
Don't wait to get missing teeth replaced. Dental implants can solve all of the problems related to missing teeth because they restore each part of the tooth.
Implants Prevent Bone Loss
Your teeth do more than chew your food! They also keep your teeth from shifting, prevent further tooth loss, and encourage healthy jaw bone growth.
Without the presence of some sort of tooth root structure, your jawbone can degrade. As the jaw deteriorates, more teeth may fall out. Getting dental implants to replace missing teeth can stimulate the jaw and prevent jawbone deterioration and tooth loss.
Implants Secure Your Teeth!
Dental implants make a sturdy foundation for false teeth. They are made out of titanium and are built to act like the rest of your mouth. You shouldn't even notice they are there!
The strong titanium post paired with a porcelain crown makes dental implants the strongest option on the market. Dental implants can last 20 years and even a lifetime with proper dental care and regular dental visits.
Dental Implant Options
During your implant consultation, your dentist will recommend specific types of implants based on your needs and smile goals. Implant options can include the following:
Implant-supported crowns are typically for single missing teeth in a jawline.
Implant-supported bridges typically replace a set of concurrent teeth in a jawline.
Implant-supported dentures are typically used to replace large sections of teeth.
Implant Full-Mouth Rehabilitation
Full-mouth rehabilitation is a customizable combination of many procedures including dental implants. Here are a few other treatments that could be included in a full-mouth reconstruction:
Best People For Dental Implants
Dental implants are the best option for those with missing teeth. However, it's also important to have good oral hygiene habits or your implants could fail. A certain amount of jawbone material is required to support an implant, so those with weaker jawbones will need to seek a graft before getting implants.
You should not get dental implants if you struggle to recover from surgery or take certain medications.
Reliability: Dental implants are a multi-step process that is handled best with a dentist who is consistently available.
How Does the Dental Implant Process Work?
1
Preparation for the Implant
The dentist will perform a comprehensive dental consultation before installing implants. This consultation will give the dentist a chance to understand your situation and make a diagnosis. During this visit, the dentist will:
Thoroughly inspect the areas with missing teeth.
Determine whether bone grafting is needed.
Create a treatment plan for the implants.
Take impressions and x-rays as needed.
2
Bone Graft
Your dentist may suggest a bone graft during the dental consultation. Recovery from a bone graft may take several months. You must be fully healed before the metal implant surgery can take place.
Finding the proper placement for your implants is an important part of the process. Many patients need bone grafting in their jaw to create this spot. A bone graft can be made of either bone marrow or synthetic material.
3
Placement Surgery
Placement surgery often goes like this:
The dentist will provide anesthesia to provide you with a calm and comfortable surgical experience.
The dentist will then insert the implant posts into your jaw. This process will be quick and painless.
We'll send you home with instructions on how to care for your implant. You'll come back for your crown after you've had time to heal.
4
Healing
With your implants installed, it's time to take it easy. For the next week or two, you'll want to take some time off of work and eat only soft foods. Even after your mouth feels better and looks healed, your implant will need time to adjust.
In a process called osseointegration, your implant will take 2–3 months to integrate with your mouth. Once this process is complete, we can move on to the next step.
5
Abutment Placement
Once the implant post is healed, we'll place a special appliance called an abutment on the post. An abutment allows the dentist to easily attach a crown, bridge, or denture to the implant.
You will need to recover for a few more weeks after abutment placement. Some dentists place the abutment in the same procedure as the implant to make the process faster. Talk to your dentist to find out how your treatment will go.
6
Crown Forming
Your dentist will use impressions of your teeth, x-rays, and additional examinations to determine the size and shape of your crown. This is often completed once the abutment has been placed.
The CEREC 3D printer allows a dentist to make your crown almost instantly! Your dentist will prepare the crown as you are recovering from the abutment placement. The end result will look and act just like your natural teeth!
7
Crown Placement
The final step in the implant process is dental crown placement. You might receive a dental bridge or implant-supported dentures instead of a crown, depending on how many teeth you're having replaced.
The dentist will place the dental prosthetic on top of the abutment and adjust it so that it fits well with the alignment of your existing teeth. Once that's done, you can enjoy your beautifully complete smile.
Types of Implants To Consider
Dental implants are versatile tools that can treat many different types of patients with missing teeth. Your needs and desires will determine the type of implant you get. During the dental consultation, your dentist will evaluate the options they offer and choose a route that works best for you!
Here is a crash course on some of the options. With so many options, dental implants can help anyone with missing teeth!
Mini Dental Implants
A mini implant is half the width of a traditional implant. It is still the length of a normal implant, so it still stimulates the jawbone. A mini-implant procedure is easier to recover from so it is ideal for patients with weaker jaws or difficulty dealing with surgery.
The All-on-4® Treatment Concept
The All-on-4® treatment concept is a dental implant technique that includes placing four dental implants on the upper or lower portions of your jaw. These implants are strategically placed in a spot that maximizes support and stability for implant dentures.
Fixed Implants
Fixed implants use a traditional implant post and a permanent crown, bridge, or denture. The restoration on top cannot be removed unless by a dentist. These are perfect for patients who want to replace a single tooth and never think about it again.
Removable Implants
Removable implants are a type of dental application that is supported by implants in the jaw. Instead of the tooth/teeth being permanently fused on the implant, the false teeth simply snap on or off. This method is usually used for dentures or bridges.
Dental Implants FAQ
Dazzling smiles require a lot of preparation and strategic planning. Here are some frequently asked questions we get from people looking for their perfect smile. Please feel free to ask us any questions along the way. Our West Palm Beach dentistry is here to help!
How Much Will Dental Implants Cost?
The cost of implants will vary depending on whether prior treatment is needed and how many teeth need to be replaced.
Due to the complexity of insurance contracts and treatment methods, we can not estimate exactly how much your care will cost. Before we start treatment, we'll go over your treatment plan and let you how much your treatment will cost.
Please see our Financing and Insurance page for more information.
Are Dental Implants Painful?
The procedure should be painless. Dental procedures will not be performed unless we have confirmed that the anesthesia has worked.
After your dental implants are installed, the area of the new dental implant may feel tender. Recovering from each phase of the implantation process depends on your health and self-care. Your dentist will provide directions for how to manage any pain or soreness following your procedure.
How Long Do Dental Implants Last?
Dental implants should be treated just like your teeth. Dental implants can last as long as 25 years or more if they are properly maintained.
Your oral care is key to the longevity of your dental implant. This includes having regular dental check-ups, brushing, and flossing your teeth.
If you have any problems with your implants such as persistent pain or crowns falling out, please contact us immediately for a visit!
Am I a Good Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are for those with missing teeth.
Sometimes, a tooth might need to be removed. This is usually due to an infection that has reached the root of your tooth and cannot be saved. Accidents may also cause teeth to fall out or break, losing full functionality.
Dental implants are not needed for healthy or intact roots. In these situations, dental fillings may prove to be a better option to clear decay.
How Do I Prepare for Dental Implants?
Contact your dentist if you're interested in getting dental implants. Their industry experience and knowledge can help you choose the course of action that will most improve your oral health.
Before your implant procedure, schedule time off work so you have time to heal from your procedure afterward. We recommend stockpiling soft foods like yogurt and smoothies. Other than that, just keep your teeth clean and healthy.
Is There Any Additional Care After Dental Implants Are Installed?
Be sure to follow the instructions as described by your dentist after the implant procedure. This may include diet changes, steps to heal wounds, or just proper dental care.
There may be soreness after your dental implants are installed. While your mouth is healing, it may be best to not irritate the area with your toothbrush or floss. Try using some ice and over-the-counter pain medication to relieve any discomfort.
Why Does Implant Failure Happen?
Unfortunately, a dazzling smile can be cut short. Some reasons for this may include the following:

Let's celebrate the fusion breakthrough, even if it's 'bulls-t'
Since the beginning of time, mankind has yearned to create the sun. And for over 70 years, scientists have known how to create an artificial nuclear fusion reaction, forcing positively-charged particles to slam together and fuse, generating an enormous amount of heat. It's something that the sun has been doing for roughly 4.6 billion years.
But whenever humans have tried it in the past, it's taken enormous amounts of energy to heat up the protons and get them moving fast enough to overcome their natural repulsion to one another — far more than has been generated by the reactions themselves. Containing the reaction — that is, keeping it from turning into a bomb — has also proven dicey. Achieving those two goals has been a holy grail, a dream that holds enormous promise for clean energy, long-distance space flight and other sci-fi advances. It's also been "20 years away" for as long as the concept has been around.
That all changed on Dec. 5, at 1:03 a.m., when a handful of night-owl scientists at the National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory bombarded a tiny capsule of frozen hydrogen with 192 intense lasers, forcing the atoms to bounce around the container at an incredibly high speed. The protons in these atoms were positively charged, which means they repel each other.
But when they moved fast inside a relatively confined space…well, sometimes they couldn't help but bump into each other. And forcing the protons together triggered them to fuse, emitting a burst of gamma rays with 1.5 times the energy the lasers had put into the capsule. It was the first time scientists ever managed to trigger a process called ignition, the same series of chain reactions that power the sun, producing more heat than they poured in.
In other words, they f-king did it.
The idea of tabletop fusion has been a white whale for both scientists and consumers for the bulk of my lifetime. But now, the promise looks a lot closer to reality: Truly clean energy. No uranium. No plutonium. No nuclear waste. No gas, no coal. Hydrogen in, energy (and maybe a bit of helium) out. The lab didn't explode. No one died in the reaction, or transformed into a superpowered octopus. So congratulations. You lived to see the dawn of the fusion age.
…Or did you?
There are a lot of signs that the narrative around this discovery is a classic exercise in American salesmanship. First off, experiments like the one that NIF conducted do, in fact, produce radiation, in the form of stray neutrons. They can make anything they pass through radioactive, and not in the fun comic book way.
More damning, the scientists only produced a net gain in energy if you count the power from those 192 lasers themselves, and not the power needed to run those lasers. These are very hot, concentrated lasers, which means that it takes an awful lot of power — hundreds of times the amount of energy produced in the reactor. So the official energy surplus announced this week is something of a trick of accounting.
"Lasers are an incredibly inefficient way to do anything," says Phillip Broughton, a health physicist (if you're wondering what a "health physicist" is, Broughton says it's actually a radiation safety specialist) and laser safety officer at UC Berkeley, who previously worked at the Livermore lab in a similar capacity. "It's so much more power at the wall to make the lasers… It's bulls-t for power. It's not a power generation thing, and never will be."
Broughton also noted that, while the scientists were able to produce an energy surplus from the fusion reaction, there was no way to HARNESS that energy. There was no water tank in their testing room that made steam to spin a turbine. There was just a brilliant burst of heat, and then nothing.
Still, those limitations didn't stop other physicists I spoke with from registering their excitement (or, at the very least, their admiration) for what the Lawrence Livermore team has accomplished.
"This is huge," said Matthew Bellis, associate professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Sienna College and a member of the CMS Collaboration involving the Large Hadron Collider. "There's a running joke that fusion energy is always 20 years in the future. You go back to when they first started working on this, probably in the '50s or '60s, and they were like, 'Well, it's 20 years down the road.' Then 20 years later, 'Well, just give us 20 more years, and we'll have this. We'll be able to create more energy out than in.' That's the holy grail."
Bellis, like Broughton, is well aware of the power requirements of those big honking lasers. He believes that what the NIF team did qualifies as ignition, and pointed out that the techniques used could be applied by other labs, with more efficient lasers. Clean nuclear power generation was never the priority of the Lawrence Livermore lab, which was clandestinely founded in conjunction with The Manhattan Project to ensure the safety of America's now-aging nuclear arsenal. Other labs, particularly in the private sector, have already been dedicating enormous resources to this project; now, they have something much closer to a blueprint for striking atomic gold.
There's also the possibility that this is less of a scientific breakthrough, and more of a psychological one —- one that Bellis believes could potentially accelerate a global race to producing fusion energy on a commercial scale. Let's be frank: If something isn't gonna happen in our lifetimes, we're far less inclined to ever give a f-k about it, whether we're investing in a technology or voting for our government to do so. Now, today, it feels possible — even reasonable — to give a f-k about fusion, because it might actually be coming. There's a very big difference between something being theoretically possible and it being definitively so, and this event made the idea of fusion much more tangible, attainable, to a lot of very important and oddly useful people.
"Funding agencies can show the general public that this money is being invested in something worthwhile. I think that's huge. I think it's really big to be able to show people like, 'No, this is here. Now we just have to figure out how to scale it up,'" Bellis told me. "To do a proof of principle that mankind can produce the same conditions that happen in the sun, if only for like a millisecond, is huge in giving everybody the confidence that there is a path forward for this type of energy."
That confidence is no small matter. It has the potential to change both how the world sees fusion power and how aggressively it chases after it. You have been told, many times over, there's no stopping the climate apocalypse, that democracy is on its deathbed, that guns will win, and on and on and on. It's easy to forget that the future is unwritten, and that humankind is much more resourceful than we're often given credit for.
But listen. We went to the f-king MOON. We've put robots on Mars. We've launched two probes that are currently floating outside of our home solar system. Almost all of those breakthroughs were preceded by accidents, wrong guesses, opposition, tragedy, red herrings and false hopes. We kept trying anyway.What the scientists in Livermore did was a reminder that we have some measure of control over our destiny — and that we don't have to choose our own demise as that destiny.
We have to keep trying, and now, hopefully, we will. Because if we let reality hold us back, we're all gonna f-king die. | eng | 05ddf409-756a-45b3-b5f4-3df965bea660 | https://www.forexfx.xyz/cbmiygh0dhbzoi8vd3d3lnnmz2f0zs5jb20vbmv3cy9hcnrpy2xll3boexnpy2lzdhmtzglzy3vzcy1iyxktyxjlys1mdxnpb24tynjlywt0ahjvdwdolte3nju3ndgwlnbocnibaaoc5/ |

New Protected Grounds Necessary in Equality Law to Tackle Discrimination Says Commission
20/07/2023
The Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission ('the Commission') has today published a second set of recommendations to Government as part of ongoing engagement with theReview of the Equality Acts, including the Equal Status Acts 2000-2018 and the Employment Equality Acts 1998-2015.
As Ireland's national equality body, the Commission is recommending that equality legislation be changed to include discrimination on the ground of socio-economic status and on the ground of criminal conviction.
On the introduction of a socio-economic status ground, and following two decades of calls for its introduction, the Commission believes "it is a matter of justice that this ground be incorporated into Irish legislation" and its introduction would not only strengthen the effectiveness of the Equality Acts, but would constitute a crucial shift in the equality landscape in Ireland (See page 50 of submission).
On the introduction of a criminal conviction ground, the Commission recommends the inclusion of a broad prohibition on discrimination on the ground of criminal conviction that is not limited to spent convictions, in both the Employment Equality Act and the Equal Status Act, and further research, safeguarding victims' rights, to be conducted to determine the appropriate exemptions needed in relation to this ground (See page 67 of submission).
The Commission has also recommended change to the existing gender and family status grounds. The gender ground in the Equality Acts, should be amended to include explicit reference to, and define gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics (See page 57 of submission). The 'family status' ground should be renamed the 'carer' status ground, and be defined to ensure a broader range of parents and persons who provide care to adults are protected.
The submission, sets out over 55 specific recommendations on access to justice and legal aid; on exemptions under the Equality Acts; on protected grounds; on positive duties; on positive action and measuring effectiveness and data collection. It also recommends the introduction of a 'purpose and principle clause' to guide implementation of the law.
Speaking today, Chief Commissioner Sinéad Gibney stated:
"People across Ireland experience discrimination in many different ways throughout their lives. Equality law is a significant part of the State response to discrimination so the Government's Review of Equality Law in Ireland is a milestone opportunity for change. The law must adapt to provide effective prevention of, and protection against, discrimination, now and into the future.
"Our recommendations will assist with the current Government review and also serve as a pathway to help shape future equality law in Ireland. We brought together legal experts [section 18 of the IHREC Act 2014] from academia and civil society to assist us in setting out a vision for what equality law in Ireland might look like into the future."
ENDS/Editor's Note
The full submission from the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission is available at the following link
The Commission has published these legislative observations as Ireland's National Equality Body and in line with its mandate to keep under review the adequacy and effectiveness of law and practice in the State relating to the protection of human rights and equality, and to make recommendations to the Government to strengthen and uphold human rights and equality in the State.
In its submission, the Commission makes over 55 specific recommendations on:
Access to Justice and Legal Aid
the State return complaints of discrimination in licensed premises to the purview of the Equal Status Acts and the jurisdiction of the Workplace Relations Commission by repealing section 19 of the Intoxicating Liquor Act 2003.
The Workplace Relations Commission is renamed with an alternative that represents and reflects the full extent of its remit, beyond 'workplace relations' alone, by amending the Workplace Relations Commission Act 2015.
a tailored approach to the provision of legal aid for minority and structurally vulnerable groups to redress a systemic imbalance and a culture of discrimination.
The Civil Legal Aid Scheme is expanded to include a wider range of areas including, at a minimum, employment and equality cases before the Workplace Relations Commission.
Exemptions
a review of exemptions under the Equality Acts, guided by the general principles of proportionality; accessibility and clarity; consistency with Ireland's EU and international obligations; coherence; and effectiveness.
Grounds
the broad scope and effective practical application of the current definition of disability be retained.
consideration be given to reviewing any outdated and stigmatising language used in the current definition, in close consultation with Disabled Persons Organisations, but any proposals for amending the definition must avoid unintended negative consequences and maintain the broad scope and effective practical application of the current definition.
an asymmetric (limits the ground to only those who are disadvantaged because of their socio-economic status) approach be applied in defining a new socio-economic ground.
the inclusion of indicators within the definition of the socio-economic ground.
the removal of the provision 'socially or geographically identifiable group' from the definition of socio-economic disadvantage in the Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2021.
the gender ground in the Equality Acts be amended to include explicit reference to, and define gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics. The ground should continue to be called the gender ground, to facilitate and ensure retention of protections under the case law of the current gender ground.
in reforming the gender ground, consideration should be given to reframing the exemptions relating to gender to ensure the current protections for trans men and women are not diluted. Consideration should also be given to reframing exceptions relating to gender to ensure discriminatory treatment between different groups within the gender ground is not unintentionally facilitated.
the 'family status' ground be renamed the 'carer' status ground, and be defined to ensure a broader range of parents and persons who provide care to adults are protected.
the inclusion of a broad prohibition on discrimination on the ground of criminal conviction that is not limited to spent convictions, in both the Employment Equality Act and the Equal Status Act, and further research be conducted to determine the appropriate exemptions needed in relation to this ground.
consideration be given to reframing the housing assistance ground as a 'source of income' ground which would apply to the entire material scope of the Equality Acts.
Positive Duties
the powers under section 42(5) of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act 2014 be strengthened by providing that the Commission may 'require' public bodies to undertake an equality and human rights review or action plan.
section 42(11) of the Irish Human Rights and Equality Commission Act 2014 be deleted to allow for a cause of action to be conferred on a person against a public body in respect of the performance of its functions under the Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty.
that the requirements for reporting compliance with the Public Sector Equality and Human Rights Duty be strengthened.
the introduction of positive equality duties for the private sector that are goal oriented, plan-based and comprehensive into the Irish legislation.
Positive Action
the current approach to positive action in the Equal Status Acts be replaced with a single overarching provision which permits specific group-based measures to ensure full equality in practice is achieved across all grounds of discrimination.
Measuring Effectiveness & Data Collection
urgent action is taken by the State to develop and roll out disaggregated equality data collection, processing and communication systems across relevant public bodies in order to monitor the effectiveness and impact of the legislation in Ireland, and that the relevant bodies publish statistics and analysis on an annual basis | eng | 22a0311c-67a7-45c5-8157-99902b204c90 | https://www.ihrec.ie/new-protected-grounds-necessary-in-equality-law-to-tackle-discrimination-says-commission/ |

Rap Culture and Resistance against Marginalization of the African-Americans
The intellectual perception of racial oppressions that has taken place in the United States is one of the most important events (Riphagen). The slavery of African Americans implied a low degree of equality in comparison to the whites and undesirable work for the whites. In the early cultures of the USA, Slavery was an inspiring thought and was also codified in law in the 1950s. African American citizens were denied the ability to engage meaningfully in community affairs as a marginalization occurred. African-Americans have since attempted to combat slavery and injustice. Most of their lyrics showed how the whites hated them while they were equal before the eyes of God. Moreover, there was brutal harassment of the African-Americans by the police, which led to greater rivalry between them. In light of the racial discrimination and police brutality, many rappers emerged and had to pursue their struggles out of these oppressions (Adedeji). To achieve freedom, there was need for unity and education. There was need to come together and raise their voices. It is during these needs that rap culture begun and it would later transform to be a powerful tool for communication and enlightenment of the African-Americans about their rights and freedom. Rap sounds, rhythms and lyrics were used to spread information to the African-American communities in which case they felt motivated to stand for what was rightly theirs and defy the old norm of marginalization (Douglass).
Rap culture has one of its onsets during the early 1980's as African-Americans were rejected the chance to access more formal music training and instruments (Howard) during Ronald Reagan's budget and they had to revert to their traditional music. Rap culture is a culture that was dominant amongst African-American and is characterized by the use of rapping in the verbalization of politics, conditions of each day life, sexual exploits, and their individual uniqueness. According to many critics, rapping constitutes the greatest symbol of postmodern music (African-American Resgistry). Rapping gave African-Americans a leading voice, which they used to express their dissatisfactions or grievances. Rap culture fostered an environment where freedom for political disputes prevailed. Rap culture mirrors racial confusion and can be described as a cultural innovation in the age of digital technology, cable television, and the marked class stratification. Rap culture goes with music that represents or manifests self, ego, and the competition that trail the African-American signifying and toasting. The significance of rap culture is that it enables individuals to acquire confidence, verbal humor, and derision in the US (Sullivan).
In the recent times, controversies have surrounded rap music, a constituent of rap culture. These controversies have been at the front of most of the American media. Stretching from the period that the East Coast-West Coast enmity shadowed the murders of rappers such as Notorious B.I.G. and Tupac Shakur to the demonization of the contemporary music following the school shootings in Colorado, Littleton, media and political groups quickly placed blame on rap, which turned out to a trend for youth violence. Thus, the today's rap music has its roots in the hip-hop culture that prevailed in young, urban and working-class Americans, and has its roots in the African oral traditions and functioned as a voice for the underrepresented groups. Rap culture has grown in popularity and has been commercialized and appropriated in the music industry (Blanchard). R&B, ragtime, jazz, and other African-American musical dimensions took the form of a mainstream culture during the earlier century. Since then it has become an essential musical and cultural form throughout the globe and encompasses performances and dance, multimedia, visual arts, and attitude and fashion. As a great protean and an assimilative cultural ethos, it engrosses new influences that are adopted all through a myriad cultural forces and forms across the universe. Rap culture is intensely an oral culture and finds its expression in sounds, dances, and gestures. It is a sound and voice of hip-hop culture.
Rap music has been described as one of the most controversial and distinctive genres of music since past decades. As a pivotal part of the hip-hop culture, rap articulated conditions and experiences of the African-Americans that lived in spectra of marginalized circumstances that ranged from the struggles for survival in the extreme and violent ghetto conditions to the racial stigmatization and stereotyping. Within this cultural contexts, rap offered voices to those who were voiceless, which denoted protests against oppression, and an aesthetic option for identity and style to the marginal groups. Therefore, rap was not just music to party and dance but represented a potent custom of cultural identity. It grew to become a powerful driver for the expression of cultural politics and served as a media for black people to be heard outside. Also, rap was considered a satellite communication system and a medium for information in which people could tune into and offered a description of the broad range of oppressions, decreasing street opportunities, adjusting moods in the streets and the nature of their daily lives in the streets. Rap became a cultural virus that circulated sounds, images, and attitudes all through the body politic and culture (Blanchard).
Due to oppression, underrepresentation, and violence against African-Americans, rappers took to the stage to enlighten their societies the need to stand up for themselves and demand their rights. Most of these rappers offered a description and the means to cope with political and social oppressions that they faced in the US. Due to its lyrical ingenuity and blend with melodic backgrounds and creative beats, rap acquired a worldwide recognition. The historical significance of rap music goes back to the time when rappers like Lauryn Hill and Tupac Shakur used rap to communicate and educate African-Americans about their rights and position in the society. Using descriptive lyrics of rap music, they were able to create bonds between their communities that yielded into unity to fight for their rights and freedom. Rap was characterized by the application of beats, lyrics, and rhythms that had roots in the African tribal communities. A storyteller, referred to as a griot, used stories to relate his tribe's history that could be followed by rhythmic beats. Because the history of African culture was majorly handed down orally, much of it became lost because of the detrimental slave trade. The breakage of tribes due to African slave trade caused the loss of history, but the significance of beats, rhythms, and lyrics never changed. Rap music united African-Americans against the concepts of "Divide and Conquer," which was applied to elaborate the destruction of the Africans. Using rap music, they were able to express their disappointments about racial discrimination.
Rap lyrics, rhythms and sounds have been misunderstood and manipulated over time so that there is a negative perception about it. Initially, rap was created to foster and push for equality in all aspects of the US economy, employment, representations, distribution of resources, etc. However, rap has transitioned through manipulation that has led to misunderstandings of where rap music lies in the society. Many have created lyrics that perpetuate violence amongst the youths, and this has led to crimes and criminal lawsuits. As rap continue acquiring negativity in the eyes of the authorities, many have been prosecuted and convicted where this art is put on trial. For instance, in the article, Rolling Stone (Nielson), Antony Murillo is convicted for using a rap song in threatening female students. Like many other rappers before him, Murillo became a target of a rising popular law enforcement tactic that uses rap lyrics as evidence of an offense. In the courtrooms, prosecutors present lyrics as literal factual statements instead of artistic expressions. Clearly, there has not been any other fictional genre that has been handled this way. This misunderstanding presents questions regarding the way racial double standards function to describe rap music and those being tried. The primary cause of misunderstanding of the significance of rap when it was created has been fostered through manipulation of lyrics that encourage street killings, violence and shootings. The FBI and the police launch many investigations into probable relationships between DJs and moguls behind the creation of violent strains of rap music, shootings of their closest associates and friends (Gumbel).

20% Wind Energy by 2030: Wind, Backup Power, and Emissions By AWEA
As America and the world grapple with the immense problem of climate change, one energy source stands out as an abundant, affordable and readily available supply option: wind power. The U.S. Department of Energy's 20% Wind Energy by 2030 Technical Report ( finds that wind energy can supply 20 percent of America's electricity by 2030 and reduce projected emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), the leading greenhouse gas, by 25 percent.
This fact sheet is one in a series aimed at informing decision-makers and the public about this critically important option for America's energy future and countering persistent myths about wind energy.
The "no reduction in emissions" myth
Wind opponents sometimes argue that wind energy doesn't actually reduce the fuel use or harmful emissions of other power plants. On its face, this claim does not make sense: utility system operators must precisely balance the total supply of electricity with the total demand for electricity at all times, so the electricity produced by a wind plant must be matched by an equivalent decrease in electricity production at another plant.
When it is available, system operators use wind turbines to reduce the output of the power plants that are the most expensive to operate, which are almost always natural gas or coal power plants because of their high fuel costs. Wind energy is also occasionally used to reduce the output of hydroelectric dams, which can store water to be used later to replace more expensive fossil fuel generation.
By directly reducing the use of fossil fuels, wind energy significantly reduces emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) and other harmful pollutants. A number of detailed power system studies, as well as real-world experience with wind plants, have demonstrated that wind energy significantly reduces fossil fuel use and emissions:
-In 2007, wind energy in the U.S. reduced CO2 emissions by over 28 million tons, equivalent to taking almost 5 million cars off the road. On average, each Megawatthour (MWh) of wind energy – the amount produced by two typical modern wind turbines in an average hour – reduces CO2 emissions by 1,200 pounds.
-The DOE report found CO2 emissions would be reduced by over 825 million tons in the year 2030 alone, an amount equal to 25% of all electric sector carbon dioxide emissions in that year–the equivalent of taking 140 million cars off the road.
-The DOE study also found that wind energy would cut the amount of natural gas used for electricity generation by 50% in 2030.
-A study by the grid operator in Texas found similar results, concluding that adding 3,000 megawatts (MW) of wind energy to the state's grid would reduce CO2 emissions by about 5.5 million tons per year, sulfur dioxide emissions by about 4,000 tons per year, and nitrogen oxide emissions by about 2,000 tons per year.2
-In regions where a large share of electricity comes from coal power, the emissions savings of wind energy can be even larger. A DOE analysis found that Indiana could reduce CO2 emissions by 3.1 million tons per year by adding 1,000 MW of wind power.3
-The 30 MW Kaheawa wind farm in Hawaii directly offsets power from oil-burning power plants, reducing oil imports by almost 10 million gallons per year.
The "backup power" myth
Sometimes wind opponents claim that because wind energy output varies with the wind speed, wind plants require an equivalent amount of "backup power" provided by fossil fuel plants, negating the environmental and fuel savings benefits of wind energy. Understanding why this myth is false requires some explanation of how the electric utility system operates.
Overview of Power Grid Operations
System operators always maintain significant "operating reserves," typically equal to 5-7% or more of total generation. These reserves are used to deal with the rapid and unpredictable changes in electricity demand that occur as people turn appliances on and off, as well as the very large changes in electricity supply that can occur in a fraction of a second if a large power plant suffers an unexpected outage. Instead of backing up each power plant with a second power plant in case the first plant suddenly fails, grid operators pool reserves for the whole system to allow them to respond to a variety of potential unexpected events.
System operators use two main types of generation reserves: "spinning reserves," (regulation reserves plus contingency spinning reserves) which can be activated quickly to respond to abrupt changes in electricity supply and demand, and "non-spinning reserves," (including supplemental reserves) which are used to respond to slower changes.
Spinning reserves are typically operating power plants that are held below their maximum output level so that they can rapidly increase or decrease their output as needed. Hydroelectric plants are typically the first choice of system operators for spinning reserves, because their output can be changed rapidly without any fuel use. When hydroelectric plants are not available, natural gas plants can also be used to provide spinning reserves because they can quickly increase and decrease their generation with only a slight loss of efficiency. Studies show that using natural gas plants or even coal plants as spinning reserves increases emissions and fuel use by only 0.5% to 1.5% above what it would be if the plants were generating power normally.5
Non-spinning reserves are inactive power plants that can start up within a short period of time (typically 10-30 minutes) if needed. Hydroelectric plants are frequently the top choice for this type of reserve as well because of their speedy response capabilities, followed by natural gas plants. The vast majority of the time non-spinning reserves that are made available are not actually used, as they only operate if there is a large and unexpected change in electricity supply or demand. As a result, the emissions and fuel use of non-spinning reserves are very low, given that they only rarely run, the fact that hydroelectric plants (which have zero emissions and fuel use) often serve as non-spinning reserves, and the very modest efficiency penalty that applies when reserve natural gas plants actually operate.
Accommodating Wind Energy
Fortunately, the same tools that utility system operators use every day to deal with variations in electricity supply and demand can readily be used to accommodate the variability of wind energy. In contrast to the rapid power fluctuations that occur when a large power plant suddenly experiences an outage or when millions of people turn on their air conditioners on a hot day, changes in the total energy output from wind turbines spread over a reasonably large area tend to occur very slowly.
While occasionally the wind may suddenly slow down at one location and cause the output from a single turbine to decrease, regions with high penetrations of wind energy tend to have hundreds or even thousands of turbines spread over hundreds of miles. As a result, it typically takes many minutes or even hours for the total wind energy output of a region to change significantly. This makes it relatively easy for utility system operators to accommodate these changes without relying on reserves. This task can be made even easier with the use of wind energy forecasting, which allows system operators to predict changes in wind output hours or even days in advance with a high degree of accuracy.
Moreover, changes in aggregate wind generation often cancel out opposite changes in electricity demand, so the increase in total variability caused by adding wind to the system is often very low. As a result, it is usually possible to add a significant amount of wind energy without causing a significant increase in the use of reserves, and even when large amounts of wind are added, the increase in the use of reserves is typically very small.
The conclusion that large amounts of wind energy can be added to the grid with only minimal increases in the use of reserves is supported by the experience of grid operators in European countries with large amounts of wind energy, as well as the results of a number of wind integration studies in the U.S. The table below summarizes the results of some of these studies.
Because wind energy output adds almost no variability on the minute-to-minute time scale, very large amounts of wind energy can be added to the grid with virtually no impact on the use of spinning reserves. While modest amounts of wind energy have very little impact on the system's hour-to-hour variability, as the amount of wind increases, it may be necessary to add non-spinning reserves to accommodate the more gradual changes in electricity supply caused by wind energy. Fortunately, as explained above, non-spinning reserves produce far fewer emissions than spinning reserves.
The following example further illustrates that the net emissions effect of any additional reserves to accommodate wind energy is inconsequential:
On average, adding 3 MW of wind energy to the U.S. electric grid would reduce the emissions from fossil power plants by 1,200 pounds of CO2 per hour. Adding this amount of wind would at most require anywhere from 0 to 0.01 MW of additional spinning reserves, and 0 to 0.07 MW of non-spinning reserves. It is likely that these reserves would be provided by zero-emission hydroelectric resources, but even under the worst-case scenario that an inflexible fossil fuel plant with an efficiency penalty of 1.5% must be used for reserves and that all of the non-spinning reserves would actually be activated, the increase in emissions would still be less than 1 pound of CO2.9
Even under this worst-case scenario, the emissions savings of wind energy (1,200 pounds) would outweigh the added emissions (less than 1 pound) by a factor of 1,000.

Tips On Winning Your Workplace Safety or Dispute Case
Some of the trickiest cases are the ones that have to do with employers. We would all like to assume that employers have our best interests at heart but this is often not the case. When it comes to workplace cases, there are a few kinds. First, there are disputes. These are related to things like wages, harassment, discrimination, or a combination of all three depending on the case. These types of cases can extremely hard, particularly because they are filled with so much emotion and conflicting reports of what occurred.
The other type of cases has to do with workplace safety and injuries. One of the worst things that can happen at work is that someone gets injured, especially in spaces where heavy and dangerous machinery is being used. The reality is that Human Resources might be your first point of contact, but they are essentially there to protect the workplace. They may work with you on certain things, but their end goal is to ensure that all parties are able to resolve things amicably and at no loss to the employer. This isn't always possible and that is when a lawsuit comes into the picture.
It's not ideal, particularly since suing your employer usually means you won't be working there anymore. If you are unable to secure other employment, losing a job and a steady income can be detrimental. Applying for a lawsuit loan is one of the best and easiest ways to ease this tension. We broke down a few of the things you need to do to ensure that you win your case against your employer and get the justice you deserve.
Write Everything Down
The first thing you will need to do in situations like this is to write everything down that is related to your grievance. Forgetting information or inaccurate recording can seriously affect your case. If possible, note down every instance related to the occurrence that may help you win your case. Especially if it concerns something that happened several times.
This is particularly important for things like harassment cases, where you might have to recall all the times that something happened. Writing everything down will also help you to establish the frequency of a particular occurrence rather than just discussing a one-off instance.
It's always in your best interest to get as many notes as you possibly can while it is still fresh in your mind. It's much easier to do that when it's something that has just happened rather than something that may have happened a few weeks or months ago. Take advantage of photos, videos, voice recording and the notes app on your phone to record all the important details to gather as much proof as possible.
Be Specific
While it's good to have a bunch of notes or recordings about things you need to include in your case, it's even better when all these details make them make sense when you put them all together. It's not always easy to see the big picture of what's happening when it comes to cases like this, that is why details matter. First and last names, contact information, dates and times and exact locations, it's all relevant. Gathering all these details helps you prove your case so you should not omit anything.
Be Patient
An important thing to consider is that whether you take a loan or not, it might take a long time to settle the case. It's important to be very patient in these situations, especially since many companies will fight with all they have to try and avoid paying you out. You want them to get to a point where settling for the amount that you ask for is their best option. But since it's not always easy to get there, you should be prepared for a long legal battle.
Don't Rely On HR
As bad as it sounds, but HR is mainly there to protect the company you work for and not you. Of course, you can turn to them with a problem, depending on what kind of an issue it is, but remember that your employer is also their employer. That is why reporting a problem to HR doesn't always result in the problem being resolved.
However, if you are able to find an ally in the HR department, that can be of great help. Regardless, a lawsuit loan can also provide great help and can alleviate some of the stress by reducing your financial burden.
Speak Up Right Away If You Can
In workplace-related lawsuits, it might be a problem if you wait too long to speak up. They may use this against you and argue that you allowed the problem to continue by not reporting it earlier.
We understand that these may be sensitive topics and therefore, it can be hard for you to reveal it. Particularly in a hostile work environment. Many employees fear losing their jobs and so they remain silent. However, if you feel this way too, we encourage you to document that as well. certain things, but if you feel that way, that is something that needs to be documented as well. If it's possible, try speaking to a manager about what is making you uncomfortable. This way, at least someone will be able to testify that you did speak up about what bothers you.
If it's not at all possible to report the problem before filing a lawsuit, make sure to document every detail of the incident/incidents to increase your chances of winning the lawsuit.

Woe to the person fleeing,
Setting off into the world!
The person striding amongst strangers,
Forgetting home,
Hating his mother's house,
Leaving his friends behind.
Alas, no blessing follows such a person
As he goes on his way!
You rustling breezes,
Gently rippling waves,
Hurrying sunbeams,
Never settling to rest:
To her who with pain, alas,
Broke this faithful heart –
Pass on greetings from the person fleeing,
Setting off into the world!
It takes some time for the reader to work out who is who and where we are in this rather strange text. It seems to begin as a denunciation of someone who has run away (from home, obligations and common sense) but eventually it emerges that the speaker is referring to himself. It was not an accusation but a lament. And what are we to make of the repeated participles, the piled up phrases which never seem to resolve or cohere into a meaningful sentence? It would be tempting to think that the poet is simply showing off, dazzling us with technical expertise, but that would only be the case if the resulting language made more sense. It is much more likely that it is the incoherence that is what matters: this is a speaker who is still in the midst of a disorientating experience for whom nothing has yet been resolved. He has not fled, he is a person still fleeing. The present participle points to the crucial point.
It takes the whole of the first strophe for the speaker to realise that his current situation is going to have implications, that the relationships that characterised his previous life will never be restored. He cannot expect anyone to give him their blessing. He sees himself as still in the process of leaving, of abandoning his friends, yet this very fact can only mean that he has already abandoned them. He is going to have to accept that he has burned his bridges.
The second strophe is where the 'fugitive' or 'escapee' finds himself most adrift. Participles struggle to be either nouns or verbs (or both at the same time), suggesting that the speaker is trying to make sense of the swirling thoughts that are now overwhelming him. In the end, there is no finite verb, no subject with a meaningful predicate. It is therefore more or less impossible to make any meaningful comment on the content other than to note that at the centre of the strophe is the word 'wendende' – turning. This central point of the whole text is where the speaker's thoughts do clearly turn. He now realises that he is already 'in der Ferne', a long way away from home. His thoughts turn back homewards.
In the final strophe he is more articulate. The participles here relate to the external environment rather than to the inner life of the speaker himself. He asks the rustling breezes, the rippling waves and the scuttling sunbeams to carry a forlorn greeting back to the person who has caused all of his suffering. He seems to have realised at last what it means to be someone who is fleeing, who is setting off into the world. Although the final two lines of the poem echo the first two, the speaker has undergone a transformation and the meaning of the words has changed accordingly. | eng | 6dfee481-cded-43d1-9d52-d12d26357f5f | https://www.schubertsong.uk/text/in-der-ferne/ |

30 Best Daniel C. Dennett Quotes With Image
Daniel C. Dennett | Introduction
Daniel C. Dennett is a prominent American philosopher, cognitive scientist, and writer who has made significant contributions to the fields of philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and evolutionary biology. He is widely recognized for his work on consciousness, free will, evolution, and the nature of mind.
Born on March 28, 1942, in Boston, Massachusetts, Dennett graduated from Harvard University with a degree in philosophy in 1963 and received his DPhil in philosophy from the University of Oxford in 1965. He then went on to teach at various prestigious institutions including the University of California, Irvine, and eventually became the Austin B. Fletcher Professor of Philosophy at Tufts University, where he currently holds an emeritus position.
Dennett's work encompasses a wide range of topics, but he is perhaps most famous for his ideas on consciousness and the philosophy of mind. In his groundbreaking book "Consciousness Explained" published in 1991, he challenged traditional views of consciousness and proposed a more scientifically grounded approach to understanding this elusive phenomenon. Dennett argued that consciousness is not a single entity but a collection of mental processes that emerge from the interaction of multiple layers of neural activity.
His influential concept of multiple drafts model of consciousness suggests that the brain generates a multitude of competing representations or "drafts" of what we experience, and our conscious mind is just the final result of this ongoing and interactive process. This approach has become known as the "informational" or "representational" theory of consciousness.
Dennett's work also delves into the philosophy of evolution and natural selection. In his book "Darwin's Dangerous Idea" (1995), he explores the implications of the theory of evolution for our understanding of human nature, culture, and even morality. Dennett argues that Darwin's theory provides a comprehensive framework for explaining the origins of complexity, design, and purpose without the need for supernatural or teleological explanations.
Beyond his contributions to philosophy and cognitive science, Dennett is known for his engaging and accessible writing style, making his work appealing to both academics and general readers alike. He has authored numerous books, including "Freedom Evolves" (2003) on the topic of free will, "Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking" (2013) which explores ways to enhance critical thinking, and "From Bacteria to Bach and Back: The Evolution of Minds" (2017) examining the evolution of human consciousness and culture.
Over the years, Dennett has received numerous accolades for his work, including being named a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the Cognitive Science Society. He has also been a highly sought-after lecturer and has given talks at various universities and conferences worldwide.
Daniel C. Dennett's intellectual contributions have significantly shaped the fields of philosophy, cognitive science, and evolutionary biology. His ideas have sparked widespread debate and discussion, challenging long-held assumptions and offering novel perspectives on some of the most fundamental questions about the nature of the mind, consciousness, and human existence.
5 Facts About Daniel C. Dennett
1. Daniel C. Dennett is not only a philosopher but also a prominent cognitive scientist and a well-known atheist. He has made significant contributions to the field of consciousness studies and artificial intelligence.
2. Despite being a renowned philosopher, Dennett has a background in mathematics and logic. He initially studied philosophy and literature but later developed a keen interest in the intersection of philosophy and science.
3. Dennett is a strong advocate for the idea that human consciousness and free will can be examined and understood through scientific inquiry. He believes that these aspects of human experience are not mysterious or supernatural but rather emergent properties of complex neural processes.
4. One surprising fact about Dennett is that he has received criticism from both religious believers and hardline materialists. Religious individuals often disagree with his staunch atheism, while some materialists believe he grants too much significance to consciousness and subjective experience.
5. Dennett has a strong interest in cultural evolution and memes. He has proposed that memes, analogous to genes, are units of cultural information that undergo replication and evolution, shaping human behavior and culture. This idea has been influential in fields such as sociology and anthropology.
Daniel Clement Dennett
Many academic philosophy books focus on the differentiation of concepts and the logical analysis of viewpoints. For anyone outside this field of study such texts can be baroque and confusing. However, the author of this book, Daniel C. Dennett, describes philosophy as "the very paradigm of useless cleverness". Luckily for us, Dennett uses this definition as the basis for Intuition Pumps and Other Tools for Thinking. He has designed many ingenious and easily understandable thought experiments that seek to inform and enlighten readers instead of landing them in a swamp of obfuscating academic terminology. He clearly and concisely presents the obscure and difficult questions regarding the philosophy of mind, collecting them into a bestseller that everyone can understand.
30 Best Daniel C. Dennett QuotesDaniel C. Dennett
1/30Explanation:
In this quote, philosopher Daniel C. Dennett reflects on his outlook as an atheist and the implications it has on understanding human suffering. He argues that by rejecting the existence of a higher power, he is compelled to view the suffering he has witnessed in his family and throughout the world as not attributable to an all-knowing, all-powerful, and compassionate deity. Instead, Dennett asserts that suffering arises from natural processes inherent in the functioning of the universe. By embracing a non-theistic perspective, he suggests that the causes of suffering become rooted in the complex interplay of natural laws, human interactions, and the vast intricacies of existence itself.
The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd.

8/30Explanation:
Daniel C. Dennett's quote highlights the notion that revenge and punishment are fundamentally futile and childish notions. According to Dennett, revenge is not a meaningful concept but a product of powerlessness. It is an act driven by an individual's desire to inflict harm on someone else due to their feeling of powerlessness. However, once one's sense of impotence diminishes, so does the desire for revenge. In this perspective, revenge is seen as a transient emotion that dissipates when one regains their sense of empowerment. Dennett's quote invites us to reconsider the worthiness of revenge as a solution, encouraging a more nuanced and mature approach to conflicts and justice.

Brains do not compute truth values, though they are designed to pick up relevance values from patterns of information that have been processed.
Daniel C. Dennett
20/30
Brains do not compute truth values, though they are designed to pick up relevance values from patterns of information that have been processed.
Explanation:
In his quote, Daniel C. Dennett suggests that while brains are not equipped to compute truth values, they possess the ability to discern relevance values from processed patterns of information. This implies that our brains are not inherently wired to determine absolute truths, but rather, they are designed to identify the significance and relevance of various information patterns. As complex and remarkable as our brains are, they are prone to biases and subjectivity, making the concept of objective truth elusive. However, our minds have evolved to recognize meaningful patterns, enabling us to make sense of the world around us and assess the relevance of the information we encounter. Thus, while arriving at immutable truths may be beyond our brain's capacity, our ability to discern patterns and relevance has its own intrinsic value.
The truth doesn't have to do with being blind or narrow-minded at all. It has to do with the nature of evidence and the methods used to collect and interpret it.
Daniel C. Dennett
21/30
The truth doesn't have to do with being blind or narrow-minded at all. It has to do with the nature of evidence and the methods used to collect and interpret it.
Explanation:
Daniel C. Dennett's quote highlights the fundamental essence of truth as being rooted in evidence and unbiased interpretation. While it is common to associate truth with an absence of blind or narrow-mindedness, Dennett argues that this perception oversimplifies the concept. According to him, truth is not contingent on the limitations of our perception or the narrowness of our beliefs. Instead, it is contingent on the objective nature of evidence and the rigorous methods employed to gather and comprehend it. In this view, truth emerges as a product of reliable, verifiable information supported by robust analysis, dismantling any subjective biases or limitations that may hinder the pursuit of accurate understanding. By emphasizing the significance of evidence and methodology, Dennett encourages a more objective, science-based approach to uncovering truth, devoid of ideological or cognitive distortions.
The story we construct is determined by what we know, or think we know, in the context of the past and present…but can be different in the future.
Daniel C. Dennett
22/30
The story we construct is determined by what we know, or think we know, in the context of the past and present…but can be different in the future.
Explanation:
Daniel C. Dennett's quote beautifully captures the idea that the stories we construct about our lives are not fixed or set in stone. Instead, they are shaped and influenced by our knowledge and understanding of the past and present. Our narratives are limited by what we know or believe to be true at any given moment. However, Dennett suggests that these stories have the potential to evolve and change as we gain new insights and perspectives. The future holds the possibility of altering our narratives, allowing us to challenge and reassess what we once thought to be certain. It highlights the dynamic nature of our understanding and encourages us to remain open to the transformative power of new information and experiences. Ultimately, Dennett reminds us that while our stories may be anchored in what we currently know, they are not fixed and can always be reinvented as we continue to learn and grow.

Daniel C. Dennett's quote, "In my personal conversations with scientists, I have been struck by how many of them explicitly invoke some higher power," sheds light on an interesting perspective within the scientific community. While science and religion are often viewed as separate entities, this observation suggests a more nuanced overlap. It highlights the fact that some scientists, despite their commitment to empirical evidence and rational thinking, recognize the existence of a higher power or transcendent force. Dennett's observation offers a subtle reminder that even those deeply rooted in scientific inquiry may find themselves acknowledging the limits of human understanding and the possibility of something beyond the material realm. It showcases the complex interplay between the realms of reason and faith, provoking contemplation and encouraging dialogue on the relationship between science and spirituality.
The power of history-based science lies in its freedom and autonomy from tradition and authority.

The power of history-based science lies in its freedom and autonomy from tradition and authority.
Explanation:
In contemplating Daniel C. Dennett's quote, "The power of history-based science lies in its freedom and autonomy from tradition and authority," one can grasp the significance of historical analysis in shaping scientific progress. History-based science refers to the incorporation of historical perspectives, insights, and analyses in scientific inquiry. By acknowledging the freedom and autonomy that history-based science possesses, Dennett highlights its ability to break free from the constraints of tradition and authority. History provides a unique lens through which scientists can explore the past and uncover the underpinnings of scientific development. By learning from historical lessons and avoiding the pitfalls of relying solely on tradition or authority, history-based science encourages innovative thinking, fosters new perspectives, and invites the exploration of alternate paths towards discovery and advancement. In essence, this quote emphasizes the transformative power of embracing the historical context of scientific inquiry, enabling scientists to forge ahead with newfound freedom and autonomy.
The power of judgment, like the power of accuracy, declines with too fast, too sudden, or too premature narrowing of options.
Daniel C. Dennett
25/30
The power of judgment, like the power of accuracy, declines with too fast, too sudden, or too premature narrowing of options.
Explanation:
In his quote, Daniel C. Dennett emphasizes the importance of maintaining an open mind and avoiding premature narrowing of options. He suggests that the power of judgment, much like the power of accuracy, diminishes when we hastily limit our choices. By rushing into decisions or restricting our perspective too quickly, we risk overlooking crucial information and alternative viewpoints that could lead to more informed and accurate judgments. Dennett's statement serves as a reminder to approach decision-making processes with patience and a willingness to consider a range of possibilities, allowing for a more robust and effective exercise of judgment.
The human mind, though not closed to any one kind of explanation, is highly biased in favor of one in particular: the design stance.
Daniel C. Dennett
26/30
The human mind, though not closed to any one kind of explanation, is highly biased in favor of one in particular: the design stance.
Explanation:
Daniel C. Dennett's quote, "The human mind, though not closed to any one kind of explanation, is highly biased in favor of one in particular: the design stance," highlights the innate tendency of the human mind to lean toward a specific way of thinking. According to Dennett, the human mind is naturally predisposed to favor explanations that revolve around design and intentionality. This suggests that when we encounter complex phenomena or observe patterns in the world, our minds are inclined to perceive them as products of deliberate planning and purposeful action rather than mere coincidences or spontaneous occurrences. The human mind's bias toward the design stance can be traced back to our evolutionary history, where the ability to detect design had significant survival advantages. Overall, Dennett's quote underscores the influence of human cognition on how we interpret and understand the world around us.
The community of science undergirds the community of technology which undergirds … practically everything else humans care about.
Daniel C. Dennett

The community of science undergirds the community of technology which undergirds … practically everything else humans care about.
Explanation:
Daniel C. Dennett's quote, "The community of science undergirds the community of technology which undergirds... practically everything else humans care about," highlights the interconnectedness and significance of science and technology in society. Science is the foundation upon which technology is built, enabling the development of innovative tools and ideas that shape the world we live in. From medical advancements to communications systems, transportation networks to environmental solutions, technology permeates every aspect of our lives. However, it is important to acknowledge that science provides the knowledge and understanding that fuel technological progress. By recognizing the profound role of science and technology, we can appreciate their influence on shaping the world and improving the quality of our lives.
The longing for an afterlife is the source of much inanity in philosophy.
Daniel C. Dennett
28/30
The longing for an afterlife is the source of much inanity in philosophy.
Explanation:
In his thought-provoking quote, Daniel C. Dennett highlights the inherent fallacy behind the longing for an afterlife and its impact on philosophical discourse. He suggests that the yearning for an afterlife leads many individuals astray, resulting in irrational beliefs and flawed arguments. Dennett argues that this desire, driven by the fear of mortality and the uncertainty of what lies beyond our existence, often obstructs the rational examination of life and its complexities. By fixating on an afterlife, philosophers may become distracted from engaging with the present and seeking meaningful answers within the bounds of our earthly existence. In this regard, Dennett challenges philosophers to approach philosophy with a clear and critical mindset, free from the confines of mythical promises, in order to uncover deeper and more meaningful insights about the human condition.
Freedom is real when we experience it. It is not something merely to be argued about or shelved because our debate hasn't yet been resolved.
Daniel C. Dennett
29/30
Freedom is real when we experience it. It is not something merely to be argued about or shelved because our debate hasn't yet been resolved.
Explanation:
Daniel C. Dennett's quote, "Freedom is real when we experience it. It is not something merely to be argued about or shelved because our debate hasn't yet been resolved," captures the essence of true freedom. It emphasizes the importance of experiencing freedom firsthand, rather than endlessly debating and theorizing about it. According to Dennett, freedom is not an abstract concept to be shelved or postponed until all debates are resolved. Instead, it is a tangible reality that manifests itself through personal experiences. This perspective urges individuals to actively seek and embrace freedom, acknowledging that it is not merely a subject of intellectual discourse, but an intrinsic aspect of human life that must be felt and lived to its fullest.
It is in the light of evolution that we discover our own minds have built-in biases.
Daniel C. Dennett
30/30
It is in the light of evolution that we discover our own minds have built-in biases.
Explanation:
Daniel C. Dennett's quote, "It is in the light of evolution that we discover our own minds have built-in biases," sheds light on an intriguing aspect of human cognition. When contemplating the operations of our minds, we often overlook the fact that they have inherited certain predispositions due to the processes of evolution. These biases, deeply ingrained within us, shape our perceptions, thoughts, and decision-making processes. Acknowledging these inherent tendencies allows us to gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us. By recognizing these biases, we become empowered to critically evaluate our thoughts and actions, enabling us to overcome limitations imposed by our evolutionary heritage. Ultimately, Dennett's quote invites us to approach our own minds with curiosity, embracing the opportunities for growth and self-improvement that lie in our exploration of the evolutionary underpinnings of our cognition. | eng | 8eac7b78-2d94-4f3d-a2dc-81522c65a84f | https://www.bookey.app/quote-author/daniel-c.-dennett |
Get Your American Visa Fast As A Slovak Or Slovenian Citizen
A solo travellers flight has been cancelled. She is standing in front of the departures board. She is wearing a protective face mask. Travelling during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Introduction
Americans are often considered to be the most powerful economic, social and political players in the world. This privilege is not only enjoyed by US citizens, but also by those from other countries wishing to visit and/or reside in the United States.
What is the American visa process for Slovak and Slovenian citizens?
Whether you are looking for a permanent move to the United States, a work or study opportunity, or merely wishing to enjoy a vacation of a lifetime, knowing the requirements to obtain a visa is essential. For Slovak and Slovenian citizens, the requirements and procedures to obtain a US visa (or travel authorization) will depend upon the type of travel visa you are applying for.
Citizens from Slovak and Slovenia are eligible to enter the US visa-free under the US Visa Waiver Program (VWP). This program is available to holders of an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) that was approved online. With ESTA, citizens from these countries can stay up to 90 days in the United States without having to apply for a visa.
What are the requirements for a Slovak or Slovenian citizen to obtain an American visa?
For a stay exceeding 90 days, for studyAMERICAN VISA for Slovak Citizens or work, travelers from Slovakia and Slovenia are required to apply for a US visa with the US Department of State. Depending on the purpose of the visit, a different visa category may be required. These include non-immigrant visas such as B-1/B-2 (temporary visitors), H-1B (specialty workers), and F-1/M-1 (students).
All applicants regardless of the visa category are required to attend an interview with a consular officer at the US Embassy or Consulate in their respective country. At this appointment, they will need to submit an application form, and provide personal and background information, as well as a valid passport and sometimes additional documents such as receipts of travel expenses and necessary interviews or medical exams.
How long does it usually take to receive an American visa?
Applicants will also be required to pay a non-refundable application fee. Additionally, biometrics that includes fingerprints and photos taken on the day of the appointment, may also be required. After the interview, the consulate will either approve or deny the application, and this decision may take up to several weeks.
In order to be granted a US visa, applicants from Slovakia and Slovenia must be able to demonstrate, in the US consular's opinion, that they have strong ties to their home country, intend to return, and have enough financial means to pay for their return. Furthermore, applicants need to present evidence in order to prove that the stay in the US will only be for the period allowed and that they do not intend to stay permanently.
Are there any special requirements for a Slovak or Slovenian citizen applying for an American visa?
By meeting all the requirements and following the application process correctly, Slovak and Slovenian citizens can acquire a US visa and take their journey to the United States. As always, guidelines are subject to change and it is highly recommended to contact the closest US Embassy or Consulate in order to confirm the application process.
The United States of America is a country that stands for exceptional freedoms, opportunities, and opportunities for growth, amongst other things. For this reason, it is understandably incredibly popular for citizens from other countries to apply for a visa to travel, reside, and/or work in the USA. There is a wide variety of visa types available depending on an individual's purpose of staying in the USA, and these visas are accessible to Slovak and Slovenian citizens.
What should a Slovak or Slovenian citizen do if they encounter any problems during the American visa process?
Slovak and Slovenian citizens can obtain a variety of different US visas, depending on the purpose of their trip, including the B-2 visa which is for tourism, the J-1 visa for cultural exchange and student exchange, the L-1 visa for intra-company transfer, and the H-2 visa for temporary workers.
Furthermore, the visa system also provides E-1, E-2, and E-3 visas for some Slovak and Slovenian citizens, which are mainly directed towards people with an interest in investing, exporting, and trading in the US.
What are the risks associated with not having an American visa?
Each individual visa type in the USA has specific requirements and eligibility criteria that must be met in order to be accepted, and the entire AMERICAN VISA for Slovenians Citizens process may involve a significant amount of paperwork. However, the process can be well worth it as receiving a US visa allows an individual to experience the American way of life, open up incredible business and educational opportunities, and even become part of the diverse American culture.
The one thing to keep in mind is that no matter what type of US visa a Slovak or Slovenian citizen is applying for, the application for each visa may require evidence of the purpose of stay, a passport valid for at least six months, financial documents and proof of family relationships, as well as details of any previous trips to the US. It is also important to note that visa acceptance does not guarantee entry into the USA, and an immigration officer will decide if an individual is eligible for entry at the time of arrival.
In conclusion
the US visa program is available to Slovak and Slovenian citizens and can provide an opportunity to reap the many benefits of living and working within the US. Although it can be a long process, understanding the specifics of different visa types and ensuring the proper documents are provided can make the process go much smoother. | eng | c2a9d04b-7b1e-4254-a4df-0ab9d1e16e26 | https://www.24businesstrends.com/get-your-american-visa-fast-as-a-slovak-or-slovenian-citizen/ |
NOTE: This study follows the historicist perspective, which keeps the trumpets in the order of their historical fulfilment.
HOW DID WE GET HERE?
Chapter 6 portrayed the opening of the first six seals. Chapter 7 interrupted the opening of the seals to show that God has a true people who will be able to stand through all that has been pictured. The return of Jesus is the subject of the seventh seal. The vision now returns to the opening of the seventh seal in chapter 8, which is where the trumpets begin.
1. What happens when the seventh seal is opened?
"And when he had opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." (Rev. 8:1)
"There was silence in heaven." This silence has been explained in at least two ways: 1) heaven is empty because all the heavenly hosts are with Christ at the Second Coming (see Matt. 25:31). 2) heaven is silent as it waits in expectation of the opening of the seals and the blowing of the trumpets, which implies that there is more to come (see Rev. 8:6).
2. What was given to the angels standing before God?
"And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets." (Rev. 8:2)
"Seven Trumpets." In the Bible, trumpets were used in various ways. They were used at worship, in the sanctuary, and to declare judgment. In the context of Revelation, the seven trumpets connect to the theme, which is judgment. The blowing of each trumpet announces a judgment against those who have oppressed God's people.
3. What does the angel do with the golden censer?
"And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he shouldoffer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne" (Rev. 8:3).
t with the prayers of all saints." In ancient Israel, sinners brought their sacrifice to the sanctuary. The high priest sprinkled the blood of the sacrifice upon the mercy seat while the fragrant cloud of incense ascended to God. Today, Christ our heavenly high priest (see Heb. 6:20; 9:11, 12), pleads His atoning blood for those who confess their sins a mixes them with His fragrance of grace and mercy.
4. What does the angel do after offering prayers?
"And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake." (Rev. 8:5)
As the ministration of the prayers conclude, the angel fills the censer with coals of fire and cast it to the earth, symbolizing the close of probation. As for the voices, thunderings, lightning and earthquake, they depict the events that will occur at the end of the seventh trumpet. These events follow the opening of the temple (Rev. 11:19) and before Jesus finishes His role as High Priest, declaring each individual either just or unjust, holy or unholy, (Rev. 22:1). At that time, Jesus utters the words "It is done" (Rev. 6:17). No more prayers will be offered on the altar and the judgments of God will begin to fall.
5. What happened after the first angel sounded his trumpet?
"And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound. The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up." (Rev. 8:6, 7)
"Hail and fire mingled with blood was cast upon the earth." This signifies that judgment upon those who persecuted God's people would begin.
NOTE: It is significance to know that God's people were establishment when Jesus was upon the earth and not before. The Jewish nation had been given the opportunity to become God's people, but they rejected Christ. (see John 1:11, 12; Daniel 9:24; Acts 7:59, 60). Subsequently, the trumpets begin in apostolic times with the establishment of the apostolic church. Consequently, the first trumpet is a judgment upon the Jewish nation who first oppressed God's people; the Christians. The apostle Peter says, "Judgment must begin at the house of God" (1 Peter 4:17) and the prophet Ezekiel declared that judgment would "begin at my [God's] sanctuary" (Eze. 9:6).
6. What happened when the second angel sounded?
"And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed." (Rev. 8:8, 9)
When the second angel sounded his trumpet, John sees a great mountain on fire being case into the sea. The prophet Jeremiah had depicted literal Babylon as a "destroying mountain" that would be made a "burnt mountain." (see Jer. 51:25). He describes how God would punish literal Babylon for oppressing His people. (Jer. 50:15-18; 51:49, 50). While it is true that literal Babylon had ceased to exist, spiritual Babylon or Rome, remained. Like literal Babylon, spiritual Babylon also oppressed and abused God's people. Therefore, it will be punished as well.
NOTE: In the literal sense, scholars ascribe the second trumpet's fulfillment as the attack upon Rome by barbarians. The barbarians destroyed the trade routes of commerce, decimating the entire social and economic order of the Roman Empire. In 378, the Visigoths wiped out an entire Roman army including the Roman Emperor Valens and in 410, Rome was ravaged. In 455, the Genseric and Vandals had great sea victories against the Roman ships and the Vandals looted and pillaged the city of Rome for two weeks.
7. What happened after the third angel sounded his trumpet?
"." (Rev. 8:10, 11)
"There fell a great star from heaven." The star which falls from heaven, in this passage, cannot refer to the original fall of Satan from heaven because that occurred before the creation of our world. It also cannot refer to Satan's fall at the cross because the third trumpet occurred after the Cross. Yet, we cannot escape the reality that the star fell from heaven as did Satan. Here is how the Bible explains what this is.
First, there was a war in heaven. Lucifer, the great dragon, and his angels were cast out into the earth (Isaiah 14:12-14; Rev. 12:7-9). When the dragon saw that he was cast out, he attempted to deceive the world. When he failed to reach that objective, he waged war against God's church, persecuting her for "a time, and times, and half a time." But God intervened and the church survived. (Rev. 12:13-17)
Second, Scripture revealed that the dragon passed his power unto the entity which succeeded the Roman Empire; giving it "his power, and his seat, and great authority" (Rev. 13:1-2). History reveals that "Out of the ruins of political Rome, arose the great moral Empire in the 'giant form' of the Roman Church" (A. C. Flick, The Rise of the Mediaeval Church [1900], p. 150). (See Daniel 7:23, 24; Rev. 2:13; 13:2). Like its predecessor, the Roman Church first attempted to deceive the people by exalting itself to the height of God. It's leader, the Pope, sat in the temple of God claiming to be God (2 Thess 2:3, 4). He claimed to have the ability to forgive sins and even change the Ten Commandments. Subsequently, the purity of the gospel and the plan of salvation were contaminated, which subjected those who followed their teaching to eternally damnation. This concept parallels the working of "wormwood." It is a notoriously bitter herb that contaminated whatever it contacts. When it failed to secure the worship of God's people, like ancient Babylon, it too persecuted them. Therefore, the great star which falls from heaven can best be represented by the great apostasy that entered the Roman church when Papal Rome rose to power and claimed the prerogatives of God.
8. What happened when the fourth angel sounded his trumpet?
"." (Rev. 8:12)
The idea of the thirds implies a substantial part, but not the major portion. Yet, they point forward to greater judgments to come.
The historical fulfillment of this prophecy is said to refer to the great luminaries of the Western Roman Empire. Its emperors, senators, and consuls, represented by the sun, moon, and stars, came to an end with the removal of its last emperor, in 476. Later, its senate and consulship also ended.
A secondary last day fulfillment of this prophecy might refer to great signs in the heavens that cause the sun, moon and stars to become partially darkened both day and night. This may be what Jesus referred to when He said, "the powers of heaven shall be shaken." (See Luke 21:26.)
We must remember, the trumpets are not the seven last plagues. The seven last plagues culminate in the very last days just before the return of Jesus while the trumpets cover a more substantial period in both their historical application, which covers centuries, and their last day application which cover a short period of time just before Jesus returns. Also, we must be careful that we are not too dogmatic. God will reveal more insight as the end draws nearer.
9. Before the fifth angel sounded, what did John hear an angel say?
"And!" (Rev. 8:13)
John hears "woe" repeated three times to the inhabiters of the earth. This is because three judgments are yet to come at the blowing of the three remaining trumpets. Each of the trumpets are designated a "woe" (see Rev. 9:12; 11:14). These trumpets will impact the unrighteous who are not kept by the power of God during the hour of temptation that will fall upon the earth. (see Rev. 3:10).

The trumpets and the plagues fall upon the same things and in the exact same order: | eng | c3308685-3fdd-4865-b072-3df3846d19d8 | http://touchoffaith.org/bible%20studies/WTR08.htm |
Section One
Introduction to the Unit: Unit summary This unit is aimed at those who work in health or social-care settings or with children or young people in a wide range of settings. The unit explores the central importance of communication in such settings, and ways to meet individual needs and preferences in communication. It also considers issues of confidentiality. This is a mandatory unit in the Edexcel Level 3 Diploma in Health and Social Care (Adults) for England (QCF) Assessment requirements This unit must be assessed in accordance with Skills for Care and Development's QCF Assessment
The assessment process is the back bone to any package of care and it is vital that it is personal and appropriate to the individual concerned. Although studies have found that there is no singular theory or understanding as to what the purpose of assessment is, there are different approaches and forms of assessment carried out in health and social care. These different approaches can sometimes result in different outcomes.
In health and social care effective communication a key skill all professionals should have when working with families, carers, children and young people. Having this skill helps to build trust it can also encourage the individual to use the services. Effective communication is essential when trying to establish and maintain relationships and it is a process that involves listening, questioning, responding and understanding. However there are many barriers that can effect how effective the communication is a few examples of these barriers could be: language, personality, visual or auditory impairment or a disability. In order to over come these barriers there have been many advances in the strategies that can help in situations where the
Communication is constantly happening within the day care centre and in my job role I have a responsibility to communicate with staff, service users and other professionals. I use various forms of communication but I also seek to make sure that it is understood. Communication has got to be understood before it can be effective and so I try to ensure comprehension when I am verbally speaking by getting staff to repeat what I have asked them to do. I also write simply worded memos and emails to ensure ease of comprehension. When communicating with other professionals I speak clearly and seek affirmation when organising meetings or planning events. I also
This document contains all the assessment information you will need for the HNC Social Care. They are collated in chronological order with the lecturer responsible (where this is known) identified on the assessment. It is up to the learner to ensure that the assessment is handed in by the deadline. The assessment schedule will be posted on the moodle site.
Assessment tools are used in the care planning process to build up a holistic picture of an individual's needs. When all the details have been recorded an assessment can be made and suitable care and support can be identified. A few of the assessment tools are information from the individual such as diaries, observations, medical histories and checklists.
As a HNC Health Care student I am required to provide evidence of the following principal aims and objectives: to integrate knowledge, theory and practice, to develop and apply a broad knowledge and skills and to have an individual patient/client focus in my practice. To achieve all of the above I am required to complete project in a form of Graded Unit which consists of three stages: planning, development and evaluation.
Therefore every care practitioner should endeavour to promote theses rights when dealing with services users and their relatives. Furthermore, it is crucial for service users to understand that any information they give will be with strict confidentiality. It is a legal requirement for health and social care services to keep personal data confidential.
Communication is very important to meet the needs of children, with families and other members of staff on a daily basis to ensure effective team working. It also ensures any health and safety issues are recognised and reported. People communicate with each other for different reasons;
There are many differing ideas on the best way to communicate in health and social care and there are many strategies used by the many differing professionals working in health and social care. This assignment will review the different strategies used and then will evaluate the differing strategies and their effectiveness when overcoming barriers to effective communication and interpersonal interactions.
This can be done by detecting and treating a disease or injury as soon as possible to slow its progress, to prevent re injury and implementing programs to return people to their original health and function to prevent long-term problems. An example of secondary prevention is working with the community and voluntary groups to develop needs assessments and health and wellbeing strategies to provide services to patients who are unable to access health services. Having regular exams and screening tests to detect disease in its earliest stages eg mammograms to detect breast cancer is also an example of secondary prevention and nutrition and exercise programs to prevent further heart attacks or strokes. The needs assessments is a process for determining both the needs and resources of the community which include the felt needs, expressed needs, normative needs and comparative needs. Felt needs is what people say they need eg having sore throat whereas expressed needs is putting the felt need into action eg going to see the GP for your sore throat or waiting lists to see the GP. Normative needs is determined for people by the experts based on research or professional opinion eg immunization status for school and comparative needs which is determined by comparing the services available to the people in one geographical area to another eg eating healthier and exercise regularly to decrease health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Le Va is a non-government organisation that works alongside individuals, families, communities and services such as Vaka Tautua. They provide resources, information and support to help people with their health, wellbeing and social outcomes, to ensure they live long and healthy lives. Vaka Tautua also works alongside Manukau Institute of Technology. This is because the older persons support group hold their meetings every Tuesday in our Pacific
Beginning of this week, the Unit Based Council was held with revision of goals and outcomes to discuss further if any issues to enhance patient, healthcare professionals, and institution betterment.

Karunanidhi was the most anti-Hindu guy u could find in whole of India.Because of him, thousands of Tamil Brahmins had ro exile themselves. He named his son after Stalin, a tyrant who murdered millions of his own people. Why do every @BJP4India run to him as if he is a holy man?
The same mistake that Vajpayee did, @narendramodi Govt seems to be doiing - caring what Media says,adopting VVIP culture, thinking that all r brothers & sisters, not fighting for #HIndus who elected them in the first place, ,getting duped by the Chinese, & praying for enemies
#Hindus don't understand how much they r hated by Marxists & Karunanidhi was a hard core one. When Hindus come to power, they should care for Hindus. There r a billion on this planet -every 6th person is a Hindu. Good, educated, affluent, law abiding people who dont riot and kill
unless @BJP4India Govt doesnt redeem some of major pledges @narendramodi made t Hindus -Ram temple, Article 370, common civil code,etc, it will not get unified Hindu vote in 2019 and will end up in a coalition Govt which will tie its hands. Goodbye then to improvement of Hindus
Why do Hindus when they come to power fall in same trap of trying to be goody-goody with everybody & forgetting about those who elected them, so that Hindus, huge majority of India, who r treated as 2d class citizens, despised, ignored & made fun of,can see their culture honored?
I only read newspapers when I fly. It pains me to see how Indian Media is still so Marxist in his outlook, so anti-Hindu, pro-Muslim and whoever hates the Hindus. It pains me even more when I see a Hindu Govt, elected by the #Hindus,which doesn't stand for its electorate.

Designs That Scratch a Hard-to-Reach Itch
Ease of use from the user's perspective
Product design that explains itself
What is design? It's a broad field that is difficult to define. Still, excluding objects that originally exist in nature, it can be said that design encompasses any artifact in the world that someone conceived of and created. So, design could be almost anything.
We recognize what an object is by looking at its design. This means that at the very outset of a design there is always awareness for expressing concept, benefit, and effectiveness. Especially in product design, communicating product appeal and simplicity plays an enormous role.
Envisioning design and function from the user's perspective
Every year we see new products with technological innovations and multiple functions, but if a user can't operate a product then these improvements are meaningless. This stands in sharp contrast to the many users looking for effective operation that produces quick results as easily as possible―preferably with one simple touch of a button.
Even when products are loaded with useful functions, simple designs are being emphasized to provide easy operation for users. Conversely, if taken to the extreme, oversimplification can result in making products more difficult to operate since users are unaware of the product functions. Similar issues are seen in the design of air conditioners. Focusing excessively on creating the perfect contour to blend into a certain decor may cause the primary functions of the product to be lost. Obviously, a sense of balance is necessary in designing products.
While ease of use is an extremely important goal to pursue, a designer cannot be solely confined to the tenet of "being simple to use." Rather than leaning too heavily on either design or function, a designer looks for areas where the one complements the other and envisions products from the user's perspective.
Being able to scratch a hard-to-reach itch
This type of ease of use from the user's perspective is called usability. To put it simply, it is the realization of products and functions that are easy for the user to use and are simple to understand.
At the other end of the spectrum, users may feel that a product is "difficult to use" and "hard to understand," and this becomes the source of great frustration and dissatisfaction. Consequently, if you can make a product that is easy to use and simple to understand by making improvements and resolving the issues associated with it, the user thinks, "This is just what I've been waiting for," and you succeed in scratching a hard-to-reach itch.
In Japanese, we often use the expression "to scratch a hard-to-reach itch" to mean being meticulous in pursuit of a difficult challenge.
To understand the little details that appeal to users requires a designer to engage with users and listen to what they have to say. Because their real-life experience in using a product touches areas overlooked by the designer, their comments provide us with new insights into a product or function and often serve as inspiration for a new concept or functionality. At DAIKIN design, too, we utilize user focus groups, and many of the opinions we receive from them are incorporated in our designs.
For example, one comment we often heard was: "Reading the operation manual is a real pain, and I never know where it is when I need it." This inspired us to design air purifiers with a product care guide inside the unit, eliminating the time and hassle of trying to locate the manual. It also made product care easier. The top of air conditioners is hard to clean" was another user comment. That is why we designed the indoor unit so that users could remove the ceiling grill. Likewise, we changed the intake grid, which is on the front of the indoor unit. At the time, it was the main air outlet at the time, and we flattened the shape so that users could clean it with only one wipe of a damp cloth. This flat design is now standard for Daikin air conditioners today.
There are also times when problem solving and design ideas originate from a casual remark by family or friends. In my own experience, I remembered my wife saying, "Tables with sharp corners shouldn't be in rooms where infants and small children play," and this convinced me to design an air purifier with attached air humidifier to be compact and egg-shaped. Air purifiers are often placed in children's rooms, and because the new design had no corners it was difficult for children to run into and hurt themselves. For this reason, it is a product that customers can use with absolute confidence.
Like a present for someone important
"Being able to scratch a hard-to-reach itch" calls for designs that demonstrate close attention to detail in areas that are not readily apparent. However, within these details lie great opportunities for designers. Making subtle improvements in products and diligently building upon them, one-after-another, leads to even higher user satisfaction.
Creating a design that "scratches a hard-to-reach itch" is like giving a present to close friends or family members. When thinking about what to give them, you go back and forth asking yourself, "What would they like? Maybe this would make them happy. How would they use it?" You may even ask them directly, "What do you want?"
This process is equally true of designs. When thinking of a design, you have meetings with users to find out their needs, and you often have to go back and forth to verify just exactly what they want. When you think of users as the important people in your life, you naturally begin moving toward designs that can fulfill the need to be easy to use and simple to understand. | eng | 5b2a4457-07df-40bb-a54b-77781f845386 | https://www.daikin.com:443/about/design/2017/04/entry-4 |
Although he had had a conflict with Haru before and was extremely unconvinced, after being easily defeated last time, he had put away his pride.
Since he had acknowledged the other party as his boss, he would be his boss for the rest of his life!
Now that someone dared to disrespect his boss, they were humiliating him!
Inuzuka Kou and the others also looked indignant.
Although they had yet to establish a complete set of three views, they still knew how to be loyal and protect their own people.
"Idiot, who do you think you are The clan leader of Hyuga's clan" The other side spat back without showing any weakness.
The atmosphere between the two sides immediately became tense!
At this time, Haru and Tsunade who were ridiculed by the crowd did not even say a word, and the two sides were already about to fight.
No wonder it turned into this situation.
However, although Hyuga Tokugawa and the others were a little stunned, they were also a little cute
Even though the matter was caused by them, they were able to protect him at the first possible moment.
This also caused Haru to have a trace of recognition towards them from the bottom of his heart.
These fellows were actually not bad in nature.
They were only spoiled to the point that they had some bad habits and that damnable energy that they had nowhere to vent!
"I'm sorry, I'll interrupt you for a moment…"
Haru's sudden words broke the anger between them, and they all turned to look at him.
"This has nothing to do with you.
Children should go home and drink milk, lest they accidentally hurt you in a fight." Uchiha Fuu said sarcastically, looking at his expression, he did not put Haru and Tsunade in his eyes at all.
After all, Haru and Tsunade were two years younger than him, and the boy was slow to develop, so they looked a head shorter.
Right now, Uchiha Fuu only wanted to have a good fight with these enemies, he did not want to cause trouble.
Moreover, he did not have any desire to make a move against this kind of little bean, so he was sincerely afraid of hurting Haru and Tsunade.
He just used his 'tone' to say it…
It should be said that the people of this family were born with different levels of sarcasm.
Haru chuckled, "Yes, we are all children.
You are right.
May I ask, how old are you this year"
Uchiha Fuu frowned slightly.
He could already tell that the other party was secretly mocking him.
However, before he could speak, a pig teammate behind him had a proud face and said with his nose facing the sky,
"Our Brother Fu is already five years old this year!"
Uchiha Fuu: "…."
Senju Haru: "……"
Haru said with a face full of 'sincerity', "Amazing, amazing! My apologies, my apologies! So you are the big brother who is 5 years old!"
"It's good that you know how amazing you are.
Hurry up and…"
"Shut up!"
Uchiha Fuu's face turned black, and he immediately turned around and shouted at the pig teammate who was still smug.
"Boy, don't talk nonsense here.
Which family are you from" Uchiha Fuu decisively skipped this topic and stopped talking about children.
Haru still asked with an innocent face, "What Do you have to introduce yourself first in a fight When did you become so well-behaved"
He was scolded again…
Uchiha Fuu took a deep breath.
"Alright, then I won't ask.
It's enough to know that you are all together.
Come on!"
"Wait a minute."
Uchiha Fuu, who had just set up his formation and was ready to attack, finally could not help but explode this time, "What are you doing again! Are you still going to fight or not!"
He heard Haru lazily say, "Of course, we have to fight, but what benefits are there if we win What punishment is there if we lose Shouldn't we say it in advance"
As soon as these words came out, everyone on both sides was stunned.
They had always fought for the sake of fighting.
To put it nicely, it was called fighting for the honor of the family.
To put it bluntly, it was a battle of the face.
So they did not think too much about it and only fought first!
Uchiha Fuu, who didn't want to show his fear, suddenly had an idea and said, "What do you want to do Decide!"
Haru smiled slightly.
Only children would fight for right and wrong.
For the sake of losing face, adults always talked about benefits!
Now was such a good opportunity.
If he didn't cheat the other party, he really couldn't forgive himself.
"It's very simple.
First of all, we have seven people on our side, and you only have five.
For the sake of fairness, and to prevent others from going back on their word later, I can allow you to find two more helpers."
Hearing this, Uchiha Fuu also restrained some of his anger.
It seemed that although this guy was very irritating with his words, he was still a very particular person, and he actually thought for them…
What he did not know was that the reason why Haru did this was to pave the way for the future.
Uchiha Fuu, who had a good reputation, naturally would not mobilize a large number of people to go back and call for reinforcements just because Hyuga Tokugawa found the two little guys.
Moreover, he was also confident in himself, so Uchiha Fuu snorted and said, "There is no need to go through so much trouble.
Even if it is five against seven, you will not be our match!"
When Hyuga Tokugawa and the others heard this, they almost exploded.
If not for Haru's timely signal to stop them, they would probably have no plans at this time and directly started fighting.
Being looked down upon, Haru was not angry, or it could be said that he wished that his future enemies would all be this arrogant.
He continued, "Alright, since you guys are so confident, then even if you lose in the end, you won't deny it, right"
"Of course!"
"Alright, then will the battle be a team battle or a team battle How will we determine the outcome There are no limits to the endurance and ability of the user Which vital points can't be attacked Will we retaliate out of humiliation afterward"
Haru's series of questions directly stunned Uchiha Fuu and the others!
'Damn it, I just wanted to fight, why do you still say so much'
'If we delay for a while longer, it will be dark, and when we go home and can't catch dinner, who will it be'
Uchiha Fuu directly said impatiently, "Whatever, whatever, you have the final say in everything."
"Alright, then that's it…"
Haru, who had already expected this result, immediately made the rules in detail.
Everyone was confused and confused, so naturally, no one dared to raise any objections.
"Now we can finally start a fight, right"
Seeing that Haru had finished speaking, Uchiha Fuu hurriedly asked with a relieved look on his face.
However, Haru still had that hateful smile on his face.
"Don't worry.
The most important thing has not been said yet.
What benefits does the winner get What if he loses"
"Is winning not enough Do you still want benefits"
"What should I do if I lose If I lose, I will fight back next time!"
Uchiha Fuu said matter-of-factly.
The rest of the people, including Hyuga Tokugawa and the others, all nodded, looking as if they should be. | eng | d35d698e-1fea-4712-89a3-620d08834bbd | https://www.raravaxter.com/raravaxtI_Am_Not_Really_Related31066118/read_32.html |
Taxation for dummies
"To those who insist that he who pays the greatest share of taxes, ought to have the greatest number of votes; it is a sufficient answer to say, that this rule would be destructive of the liberty of the others, and would render them slaves to the more rich and wealthy—That if one man pays more taxes than another, it is because he has more wealth to be protected by government, and he receives greater benefits from the government."– Luther Martin, "The Genuine Information" (emphases in original) | eng | 08545f60-fe29-4237-802e-21a30a9750c6 | https://www.tetmancallis.com/2014/09/27/taxation-for-dummies/ |
WorkFound it? It's the comparison to null. My intention was to get rows where another_column was null, however the query did not do so. It didn't give me any results where another_column was null, but didn't give me any error either. Why?
Null in SQL is not a real value. Null means "lack of a value" or "unknown". Anything compared to null leads to an "unknown" result. Therefore, in SQL there are actually three values conditions can evaluate to: true, false, and unknown/null. This is called three-valued logic. SQL WHERE clauses only return rows that evaluate to true, not rows that evaluate to false or "unknown".
The proper way of checking for null is by using the IS NULL or IS NOT NULL predicates. The correct SQL query would have been as follows:
So if you're used to languages where you check for null with equal signs, remember that in SQL, you must use the special IS NULL or IS NOT NULL predicates instead of the equals sign or other comparison operators. Don't get tripped up like I did.
If you want to read more about, Wikipedia has a detailed article on null in SQL.
This past week, the co-op students at A Thinking Ape participated in an internal hackathon where they had two days to develop something to show the rest of the company.
Among the games and tools that resulted, one project stood out to me: a hello world app. Yes, a hello world app. (For those not in the software development field, "hello world" is usually the first output that developers code when trying out a new platform or language.)
It had a white background, black text that said "Hello World," and a green button that was labeled, "I am a button." It was built using Microsoft's latest platform that supports writing universal Windows apps that can be run on Windows phones, tablets, and desktop computers.
What stood out to me was the way he presented this simple app. He described the app not as any other hello world app, but one with a button and that it was green! As he went on, he told us that the green button was also "self aware," because it was labeled describing itself as a button.
Then he went on to clicking the button. The text that appeared below said, "You clicked the button, " or something to that effect. He described this like predicting the future, but in reverse!
He finally proceeded to show us that how it looked on a phone simulator.
By the end of it, many of us were quite entertained by the way this seemingly simple and ordinary project was described. This presentation reminded me of the "reality distortion field" Steve Jobs had when he presented his keynotes (here's one when Steve Jobs revealed Safari for Windows in 2007).
This example is to show that no matter what kind of product you have, the way you present it to people and the way you market it has a great effect on what the audience will feel and remember about the product. | eng | 3ec6a2c4-4f32-4cd9-9a90-a649a0007a4c | https://dennistt.net/category/work/ |

Defining Playbooks
Correlated allows you to define product usage triggers that you care about to prioritize customer outreach. Your team can create flexible Playbooks using data from multiple data sources without writing a line of code. This means that your entire revenue team can work together to design Playbooks based on existing domain knowledge.
They can identify either Accounts or Users that exhibit certain behaviors. Correlated then tracks your customer base as they trigger (or stop triggering) Playbooks, and automates downstream notifications and actions accordingly.
📘
Correlated automatically joins data that describes product usage with the associated accounts and users. As such, all analyses can be run for either an account or a user. Please read our documentation on data models to better understand how these different data types work.
To get started on building your own Playbooks, it's helpful to classify them to measure the customer lifecycles you care about. | eng | cb4e6a7c-01e9-4824-b013-524f1a9c6b1c | https://docs.getcorrelated.com/docs/defining-signals |

Dyslexia Spotlight Hannah J
Learning the strengths of Hive Members
We were so lucky during our Dyslexic Spotlight this month to hear from community member Hannah J! Hannah is a Delivery Project Manager in the tech industry from Derbyshire and a proud mother!
Hannah has had a really inspiring story! She was diagnosed at 35 with dyslexia and decided that she wanted to learn more about how it was impacting her life and why she was struggling!
After a few months of being a hive member, she shared this message in our WhatsApp group.
"I woke up today feeling super positive and reflecting on my dyslexic strengths. I used to focus so much on just wishing I could spell, do maths, drive better, tell the time, etc., but this community has helped me realise I have so many positives and special gifts like good communication, critical thinking, ideas, determination, etc.!"
After that comment, we just had to have her as our next spotlight!
Three strengths we learned from Hannah:
Connecting the dots between lots of pieces of information or different options is easy and allows us to be better at managing multi-step projects.
After years of bouncing back, we have extreme resilience that pushes us to move through challenges.
Being a people person! Dyslexics have great soft skills that can help you get the most out of the people you work with!
Thanks again so much to Hannah J for being March'sMarch's Dyslexia Spotlight! | eng | efa4b816-f87d-4dc0-9a0f-d1cfb3e5a76b | https://www.dyslexiainadults.co/post/dyslexia-spotlight-hannah-j |
"Well blow me down, Neal Maine. You are part of one amazing community. Our presentation on our Arctic Adventure was a big hit and was so incredibly fun to do. Thank you Seaside, OR and all the others who came from all over the place to hear our story and support the Alaska Wilderness League. You are awesome!" -Daniel Dietrich
"Hi Denise.It was SO awesome seeing you last week. Thank you so much for all you did for the presentation. I couldn't have imagined it going any more smoothly. You are a rock star. I am going to send you up a few 4×4 metal prints of a few local seaside birds. This will give you an idea of what the metal prints look like. These are my gift to you. You can hang them in your house if you like them or sell them in the gallery for the Land Trust. Let me know the address to send them to. I hope to see you again very soon".

conditions. A good tree planting strategy takes account of these and ensures that tree planting is focused not only on local priorities, but also on environmental conditions.
A Tree Planting Strategy shows:
Where to plant
What to plant
How to plant
When to plant
A Tree Planting Strategy can help you to maximise ecosystem service delivery in your area, minimise the potential impacts of pests and diseases, and even mitigate the effects of climate change. Our reports can cover both hard and soft landscapes, and incorporate both public and private land. We can include hard surfaces, buildings, transport infrastructure and water sources, as designated by Ordnance Survey mapping. Results can then be presented taking into account relevant land ownership or departmental control.
Included in a Tree Planting Strategy is a full canopy survey of your area. Tree canopy cover is a good place to start when thinking about the long-term development of the urban forest. Knowing what percentage cover you have, provides an evidence base with which to set targets for the future.
Community consultation is a key part of building a Tree Planting Strategy, and we can guide you through this process.
We can also offer recommendations to improve species diversity; this is important in order to ensure that the new urban landscape is both resilient and sustainable for future generations.
This is going to be incredibly helpful... using data like this will replace the 'throwing darts
at a map' technique; it shows directly where to target tree planting.
