Are Fabric Softeners Good For Your Clothes?
Of course! It's so soft! Not so fast. The "fatty" substance in fabric softener directly embeds itself into your fabric and gives it the soft feel we look for. The issue however is that our fabrics are designed to be breathable and the softener "clogs" the fabric which creates a cake-like layer over the fabric itself. Long term this can lead to a fabrics being less absorbent (towels and sheets). Use fabric softener occasionally, but don't overdue it | eng | 9457b11c-778c-43b2-b319-9c84f5db4c87 | https://ianscleaners.com/are-fabric-softeners-good-for-your-clothes/ |
The solar energy budget of the Antarctic Ocean is largely determined by fractional area covered by sea ice and the sea-ice albedo, which is highly variable depending on the surface type. The albedos of open water, nilas, nilas with frost-flowers, slush, and first-year ice with both thin and thick snow cover were measured in the East Antarctica sea ice zone during the Sea Ice Physics and Ecosystems Experiment II (SIPEX II) field campaign from September to November 2012, near 65S, 120E. This was a project of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE). These results augment a dataset from prior expeditions reported by Brandt et al. (2005), by extending the spectral coverage to longer wavelengths and by measuring some ice types that had not been encountered on the prior expeditions.
The spectral albedos were measured across the ultraviolet, visible, and near-infrared wavelengths using an ASD spectral radiometer. The albedo of snow on sea ice shows no evidence of light-absorbing particulate impurities (LAI) such as black carbon or organics, which is consistent with the extremely small quantities of LAI collected by filtering snow meltwater at the ice stations occupied during SIPEX-II. The albedo of snow depends on snow thickness as well as snow grain size. The albedo of bare nilas increases with nilas thickness, but the growth of frost-flowers causes the nilas albedo to increase dramatically by about 0.2 at the UV and visible wavelengths. Slush is formed when blowing snow falls into a lead of open water; its albedo increases with slush thickness. For all surface types except for open water, albedos are highest in the UV and visible and decrease while nilas has the most gradual decrease. The albedo of open water under diffuse illumination is constant at 0.07 for all wavelengths.
The spectral albedos are integrated over wavelength, using both clear-sky and cloudy-sky incident solar spectra, to obtain broadband albedos for wavelength bands commonly used in climate models. | eng | 8b805f24-046c-4ec1-9031-ee3ed2f664fe | https://ams.confex.com/ams/12POLAR/webprogram/Paper225650.html |
how much power does a treadmill use
· So, for rating, make sure that you assess the usage of a treadmill in a month and double it with the maximum of your treadmill wattage. For example, a treadmill of 600 watts uses 20 hours per month to use (600×20=12,000) watts of energy. Now, you can convert it into kilowatt, and it will be equivalent to (12,000/1000=12) kilowatts of power per …
The majority of treadmills typically tend to use around 300 to 900 watts of power and some calculations can be carried to gather an estimation as to how much electricity your machine is going to use and what effect this is going to have upon your costs.
· Like you already know, your treadmill naturally keeps consuming more energy as you use it for a longer duration of time. But the way you use your machine also determines whether it will consume a lot of energy or not. The motor of most treadmills with 3.0 horsepower does not function at that exact horsepower.
· Treadmills are, by far, the most popular machines in the club, but they're also the most prodigious consumers of energy. On average, a treadmill uses between 600 and 700 watts of energy. As a treadmill ages, it can consume 30 …
· Likewise, how many watts is a treadmill motor? A treadmill uses between 600 and 700 watts of power energy. Power consumption is a very important issue by model though. A recent test of five main brands showed a range of 280 watts to 928 watts, although the lower end represents a belt speed of 3.5 miles-per-hour more of the stroll than a workout.
Most residential treadmills run on a standard 120-volt, grounded and dedicated outlet. Manufacturers recommend the use of a surge suppressor that meets specific standards. If your outlet does not meet the power requirements of the …
· A treadmill's motor powers the track. Treadmill motor power is described in terms of horsepower (HP) or continuous horsepower (CHP). CHP is the most useful thing to take into consideration because it indicates how much power a motor can put out continuously versus just at its peak. Most home treadmill motors have somewhere between 2.25 and 4 …
Treadmill Duty: In-between peak and continuous 3. Continuous Duty: The highest rank. The number associated will describe how much power is maintained throughout the workout. While many motors will claim to be of identical horsepower, it is pertinent to …
There are probable reasons for the treadmill to cause the trip. It's likely to be an overloaded circuit where the treadmill is trying to draw too much power in its usual function. There could be a few reasons it's doing this. The problem is usually the motor is the part drawing more power than normal. This is more likely in older treadmills. | eng | 0efe02e1-cef2-4520-9172-40c45ffb45d8 | https://www.besttreadmillinfo.com/how-much-power-does-a-treadmill-use/ |

I know so many here won't do "plastic". I know there are wonderful wooden toys, but others have their value. I feel sorry for their kids for missing out on:
1. Lego's/Duplos. Even my 11 y.o. still uses the Duplos. We have TONS and she builds houses with them (that don't fall down easily, ala the wooden version of "brick"! Tons of other cool stuff too.
2. Cranium Games: Plastic Yes. Yucky, No. Really great and lots of fun. Could you make up your own version without plastic, um maybe, but wow its so wonderful as is.
3. The game Who/Where. Learn about deductive reasoning. But yeah its plastic.
4. Cheap plastic blow up "instruments" like guitars, drums and pianos. We have real versions of these, but I wouldn't want them to be used for the Jumping up and down "rock band" my two little one's like to create. And since they have to find a way to create their own music this way. VERY FUN
5. Hoola Hoops. Contests involve can you jump up and down or run around while doing it. Hours of fun. | eng | b3d385ed-6570-41b4-a274-054dab541fed | https://www.mothering.com/threads/what-toys-do-you-love.301558/?u=25433 |
$\mathcal{P}, \mathcal{Q}, \mathcal{R}$ are fppf local on the target and stable under arbitrary base change,
$\text{smooth} \Rightarrow \mathcal{R}$,
for any morphism $f : X \to Y$ which has $\mathcal{Q}$ there exists a largest open subspace $W(\mathcal{P}, f) \subset X$ such that $f|_{W(\mathcal{P}, f)}$ has $\mathcal{P}$, and
for any morphism $f : X \to Y$ which has $\mathcal{Q}$, and any morphism $Y' \to Y$ which has $\mathcal{R}$ we have $Y' \times _ Y W(\mathcal{P}, f) = W(\mathcal{P}, f')$, where $f' : X_{Y'} \to Y'$ is the base change of $f$.
there exists a largest open substack $\mathcal{X}' \subset \mathcal{X}$ such that $f|_{\mathcal{X}'}$ has $\mathcal{P}$, and
if $\mathcal{Z} \to \mathcal{Y}$ is a morphism of algebraic stacks representable by algebraic spaces which has $\mathcal{R}$ then $\mathcal{Z} \times _\mathcal {Y} \mathcal{X}'$ is the largest open substack of $\mathcal{Z} \times _\mathcal {Y} \mathcal{X}$ over which the base change $\text{id}_\mathcal {Z} \times f$ has property $\mathcal{P}$.
Finally, if $\mathcal{Z} \to \mathcal{Y}$ is a morphism of algebraic stacks representable by algebraic spaces which has $\mathcal{R}$ then we set $T = V \times _\mathcal {Y} \mathcal{Z}$ and we see that $T \to V$ is a morphism of algebraic spaces having property $\mathcal{R}$. Set $f'_ T : T \times _ V U \to T$ the base change of $f'$. By (4) again we see that $W(\mathcal{P}, f'_ T)$ is the inverse image of $W(\mathcal{P}, f)$ in $T \times _ V U$.

Pyrimidine: Definition, Structure, & Function
Post published:January 11, 2022
Pyrimidine Definition
Pyrimidines are made up of carbon and nitrogen atoms and form a six-membered ring, thus they are known as aromatic compounds. All the pyrimidine derivatives including nitrogenous bases also referred to as pyrimidines.
Nitrogenous bases are of two types, purines and pyrimidines that collectively form the building blocks of both DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid). The organic compound pyrimidine forms pyrimidine bases through the addition of various functional groups.
There are three pyrimidines found in DNA and RNA, the thymine found in only DNA and the uracil only found in RNA whereas cytosine occurs in both DNA and RNA.
Pyrimidine Structure
The structure of pyrimidine is made up of two nitrogen atoms and four carbon atoms. Each carbon has a hydrogen atom attached to it. Alternating double and single bonds connect the carbon and nitrogen atoms that allow resonance, or aromaticity to the molecule. The aromatic nature of pyrimidines makes them stable molecules.
The molecule derives its structure by adding functional groups. The derivatives also consist of a six-membered ring, but the addition of few atoms in nucleic acids can modify the structure to complex forms such as in drugs and vitamins.
Structure of Nitrogenous Bases
The aromatic compound pyrimidine modifies into three pyrimidine bases, thymine (T), cytosine(C), and uracil (U). The structure of these bases consists of two nitrogen atoms and four carbon atoms along with the six-membered ring, but instead of being an aromatic ring with alternating single and double bonds, they possess a carboxyl (ketone) group on the 2'carbon tom.
Therefore, a bond removes from the structure and a total of two double bonds and four single bonds are present in the structure. The other three nitrogenous bases also have various functional groups at their 4' carbon.
Thymine and uracil have a ketone group attached, whereas cytosine has an amino group. A methyl group is also attached to the 5'carbon of thymine. In T and U, the addition of another ketone results in the removal of another double bond from the ring, and only one double bond remains in the ring.
However in cytosine, two double bonds are present but there are only two bonds to the 1' nitrogen in all three pyrimidine bases, where the nitrogenous base attaches to the sugar and form nucleoside. The DNA and RNA also consist of several modified pyrimidines.
Several processes such as oxidation, methylation, amination, or the addition of other functional groups such as aldehydes, thioketones, and alcohols can alter the nucleotides. The modifications also cause deleterious effects in the organisms such as altering gene expression. In snRNA, the modifications are more prevalent.
Pyrimidine Function
All the pyrimidine derivatives including pyrimidine are ubiquitous. All the nucleic acids, vitamins, amino acids, antibiotics, alkaloids, and a variety of toxins have pyrimidines in their structure. Thus they play various important roles and functions such as help in the production of amino acids and proteins, contributes to an organism's health, provide vital nutrients, boost the immune system and destroy the cell.
For example, neurotoxin tetrodotoxin is found in several species including the Japanese pufferfish, the blue-ringed octopus, and the orange-bellied newt is a pyrimidine derivative. The drug is used to prevent the transmission of nerve signals that may cause paralysis and death.
Pyrimidine derivatives also have a significant role in drug development. A wide variety of pharmaceuticals including general anesthetics, anti-epilepsy medicines, anti-malaria medicines, drugs to treat high blood pressure and HIV medications consists of pyrimidines derivatives.
Function of Nitrogenous Bases
The genetic material, i.e DNA or RNA composed of three pyrimidine nitrogenous bases, and two purine bases. They have two important functions: to pass information within the generations through replication, mitosis, meiosis, and also pass the information between different organisms through horizontal gene transfer, and to encode genes.
The DNA passes into daughter cells before passing into the offspring. The information passes in a semi-conservative manner and takes advantage of the strict rules for the nitrogenous base pairing, which can be described by Chargaff's rules.
According to the rules, the single-ringed molecules (pyrimidines) binds or make pairs with double-ringed purines due to which the DNA maintains a constant width along the length of the molecule. In nucleic acid, the specific purines can bind to specific pyrimidines, such as the cytosine only pair with guanine, and thymine and uracil both will bind with adenine.
There are three hydrogen bonds between cytosine and guanine and two hydrogen bonds between adenine and thymine respectively. A parent molecule of a DNA strand act as a template during DNA replication.
The strand is copied by several enzymes and form an anti-parallel strand according to Chargaff's rules. The strands of DNA and RNA are formed by the nitrogenous bases and the nucleotides that are composed of coding and non-coding regions.
Proteins are formed by the translation of the coding regions by the process called translation. The process starts from transcription or the formation of an RNA intermediary, which is later followed by translation, in which the mRNA script forms polypeptide chains.
The non-coding region cannot be translated into proteins, but they perform many other important functions, such as regulation, and encode molecules such as rRNA and tRNA, which further participate in transcription and translation. | eng | 95d9daaf-9bbe-46ac-b068-83270a952b42 | https://notesbard.com/pyrimidine-definition-structure-function/ |
Uses and applications of tungsten
Tungsten is an important alloying element that is widely used in the production of various sheets of steel. Common steels containing tungsten include high-speed steels, tungsten steels and tungsten-cobalt magnetic steels with high magnetisation strength and coercivity, which are mainly used in the manufacture of various tools such as carbide drills, carbide milling cutters, carbide wire drawing dies, negative and positive dies.
Tungsten carbide-based cemented carbide
Tungsten carbides are often used in a number of cemented carbides because of their high wear resistance and refractoriness, while their hardness is close to that of diamonds. Currently, the largest consumer of tungsten, tungsten carbide-based carbide is a powder metallurgical product made by sintering tungsten carbide micron-sized powder and metal binders (e.g. cobalt, nickel, molybdenum) in a vacuum furnace or hydrogen reduction furnace. Tungsten carbide-based cemented carbides are broadly classified into four categories: tungsten carbide-cobalt, tungsten carbide-titanium carbide-cobalt, tungsten carbide-titanium carbide-tantalum (niobium)-cobalt carbide and steel-junction cemented carbide. These tungsten carbide-based cemented carbides are mainly used in the manufacture of cutting tools, mining tools and wire drawing dies, etc.
Thermally strong and wear-resistant alloys
Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals and is very hard, so it is often used to produce thermally strong and wear-resistant alloys. For example, alloys of tungsten and chromium, cobalt and carbon are often used to produce high-strength and wear-resistant parts such as aero-engine valves and turbine impellers, while alloys of tungsten and other refractory metals (such as tantalum, niobium, molybdenum and rhenium) are often used to produce high thermal strength parts such as aero-rocket nozzles and engines. Tungsten alloy or tungsten weight
Due to its high density and high hardness, tungsten has become an ideal material for making high-specific gravity alloys. These high specific gravity alloys are divided into major series such as W-Ni-Fe, W-Ni-Cu, W-Co, W-WC-Cu, W-Ag, etc. according to their composition characteristics and usage. They are widely used in the aerospace, aviation, military, oil drilling, electrical instrumentation, medical and other industries, such as the manufacture of armour, heat sinks, balance hammers for control rudders and contact materials such as gate switches, circuit breakers, spot welding electrodes, etc.
Electronics or pure tungsten or copper tungsten
Tungsten and its alloys are widely used in the electronics and power supply industries because of its high malleability, low evaporation rate, high melting point and high electron emission capacity. For example, tungsten filaments are widely used in the manufacture of light bulb filaments, such as incandescent and tungsten iodide lamps, because of their high luminosity and long service life. Tungsten filaments are also used in the manufacture of direct hot cathodes and grids for electronic oscillation tubes and in the manufacture of side hot cathode heaters for various electronic devices. Tungsten's properties also make it suitable for TIG welding and other electrode materials for such work.
Chemical industry
Compounds of tungsten are often used as catalysts and inorganic colours, for example, tungsten disulphide is used as a lubricant and catalyst in the manufacture of synthetic gasoline, bronze-coloured tungsten oxide is used in painting, and calcium or magnesium tungsten is commonly used in phosphors.
Other applications
As tungsten has similar thermal expansion properties to boron silicate glass, it is used to make glass or metal seals. Tungsten's low sensitivity means that it is used to make high-purity tungsten gold jewellery. In addition, tungsten is also used in radiological medicine and some musical instruments use tungsten wire for their bronze rings | eng | ada10ea4-825b-4d41-bdb3-4d3b3c6eefd1 | https://www.wugang99.com/uses-and-applications-of-tungsten/ |

Unwanted Erections: 3 Biological Reasons for What's Causing Them and How to Handle Them (With Care)
Unwanted erections, or at least unintended ones, happen with frequency. Maybe you saw something that took your fancy or the friction from your favorite corduroys got a little out of hand and boom – your penis is at attention. However, sometimes you pop wood without having any real reason to point to. There's no instigator, it just happens. This is a completely normal thing for all men, but some men may notice it happening more than once or twice, and sometimes it can be more serious than just a semi. Here's a look at what causes unwanted erections and how to safely right the battleship.
Unwanted Erection Cause #1: Nocturnal Penile Tumescence (NPT)
Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT), commonly known as "morning wood," is one major cause of an unintended erection. Men experience up to five erections each night as they sleep as part of a normal restorative biological function. Some men will wake to find they are already hard when they wake up, even though it happened before they were conscious. These unwanted erections can also be a little persistent and won't just settle down on their own. They can be caused by anything as simple as a sheet touching the penis or hormones still coursing through the body from the night before. NPT is more common for younger men, but it's not exclusive only to them.
The fix: Pee, wait it out, or find a use for it.
Unwanted Erection Cause #2: Too Much Testosterone
Hormones majorly influence so much of how we feel and what our body does in the short and long run. They inform on everything from when to sleep to when it's time to get some lovin' to how to feel. Men with too much testosterone, also known as High T, can find themselves the recipient of unwanted erections. Now, testosterone levels will fluctuate over a man's life, influenced both by age and environmental factors, so sometimes, the issue can fix itself given a little time.
The fix: Ask your doctor for a test to see if that's causing all the extra erections.
Unwanted Erection Cause #3: Priapism
Priapisms are undoubtedly the most dangerous type of unwanted erection because it is caused by a blood clot in the penis that can last for hours. Unresolved, it can not only be extraordinarily painful but can also cause penile tissue to die. Men who have sickle cell anemia or regularly use male erection enhancers have a higher risk of priapism.
The Fix: A trip to the emergency room for a medication injection or draining blood from the penis are the only ways to remedy priapism.
How to Deal with Unwanted Erections
While erections are usually greeted with fanfare and excitement, sometimes they happen at inopportune times or you're just not in the mood. Here are a few strategies to use when you're not in the mood for a romp with a partner or yourself:
1) Move. Sometimes fabric rubbing against the penis can cause an erection. Shift your junk to see if it releases the mighty beast. If that doesn't work, putting your hands in your pockets can help hide it until it goes away.
2) Don't masturbate, meditate. Take a moment to close your eyes, take a few deep breathes, and just let it all go. Focus on the sound of your breath if your mind starts to wander. Biologically, meditation slows blood flow and relaxes blood vessels which allow the blood to drain from the penis.
3) What's unsexy to you? It could be Margaret Thatcher, a dentist appointment, or a clingy ex. Think about whatever turns you off and it'll turn down that boner.
4) When all else fails, find something bigger than it and cover it up. A messenger bag, laptop, book, or jacket are all good options.
Remember, unwanted erections happen to all men at some point in time. In fact, they can be a good indicator that things are working and healthy. To keep erections healthy and showing up (when you want them to), have a good daily penis health routine, including a penis health creme (health professionals recommend, which has been clinically proven safe and mild for skin) that's specially created to nurture and fortify the penis. Apply a crème with nutrients like vitamins A, B, C, D, and E and essential amino acids like L-Carnitine and L-Arginine to keep the penis strong and healthy. | eng | f5bd7e6c-eb1d-4671-9655-caf6926bd443 | https://healthmob.us/mens-issues/unwanted-erections-3-biological-reasons-for-whats-causing-them-and-how-to-handle-them-with-care.html |
The project started in 1998 and was implemented with external financial support. From December 2008 the program was implemented with PHARE funds for a period of one year, in partnership with the municipality of Baia Mare - Social Public Service. The main goal is integration into society of young people leaving the public system of social protection.
The project targets young people aged between 18 and 26 years offering for a limited period, accommodation, advice on various life issues, labor market intermediation.
Project Objectives
- Training young people to achieve financial independence
- Forming a contoured figures: correct self-image, ability to make decisions, ability to establish the healthy relationships with others
- Training of practical skills, household
- Preparation for family life.
"Professional training for the deaf and dumb"
The project started in 2006 and implemented as a day course with a duration of two years, applying to persons with hearing disabilities.
These people live in their world, a world of signs without intellectual training opportunities within the formal systems, requiring special attention.
Project purpose
- Raising the intellectual, moral and spiritual persons with hearing disabilities.
- To ensure that people trained by the project to become independent, able to support, to raise families, have access to the world of people with normal hearing.
The project arose from the need to help identify talented young people who want to shape higher education, the financial situation does not allow this. We also found that the presence of young people from families that leave the young natural homes bring a positive influence in the way of networking and their desire for progress.
Project Objectives
- Supporting young people in further education by providing youth hostel accommodation at the Foundation, with shared kitchen, laundry, reading room
- Effective results in work with young people raised in orphanages, with the involvement of youth reared in natural families in activities, who have acquired higher moral and ethical principles.

Citrulline helps to remove these waste products from your muscles, allowing you to recover more quickly and get back to your workout.
Glycemic Index and Energy
Watermelon has a low glycemic index, which means that it releases its energy slowly and steadily over time. This makes it an excellent source of sustained energy for your workout.
Unlike high-glycemic foods like candy or soda, which can cause a quick spike in blood sugar followed by a crash, watermelon provides a steady stream of energy that can help you power through your workout.
Here are a few other ways that watermelon can help with exercise performance:
Hydration: Watermelon is more than 90% water, making it an excellent way to stay hydrated during your workout.
Electrolytes: Watermelon contains important electrolytes like potassium and magnesium, which help to regulate your heart rate and prevent muscle cramps.
Stir-Fry
Watermelon can be used in stir-fry dishes to add a burst of sweetness. Here's how to make it:
Cut up watermelon, zucchini, and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
Heat up a wok or skillet and add oil.
Add the chopped vegetables and stir-fry until they are tender.
Add soy sauce and honey to the pan and stir-fry for a few more minutes.
Serve with rice or noodles.
Pickled Watermelon Rind
Don't throw away the watermelon rind! You can turn it into a tasty and unique pickled snack. Here's how to make it:
Cut the watermelon rind into small pieces.
Boil water, vinegar, sugar, and spices in a saucepan.
Add the watermelon rind to the pan and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Let the mixture cool and then transfer to a jar.
Refrigerate for at least a day before serving.
This pickled watermelon rind is a great addition to any charcuterie board or as a snack on its own.
Watermelon Squash
Watermelon can even be used in squash dishes. Here's how to make it:
Cut up watermelon into cubes.
Sauté the watermelon with sliced yellow squash and zucchini in a pan.
Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
Serve as a side dish or as a main course with rice or quinoa.
Watermelon Varieties and Growing Tips
Seedless Watermelon
Seedless watermelons are a popular choice for many gardeners due to their convenience and ease of consumption. These watermelons are typically smaller than their seeded counterparts and have a sweeter taste. When growing seedless watermelons, it is important to keep in mind that they require a pollinator plant nearby to produce fruit. Some popular seedless watermelon varieties include:
Crimson Sweet
Sugar Baby
Jubilee
Watermelon Vine and Harvest
Watermelon vines can grow up to 20 feet long, so it is important to provide them with ample space to spread out. When planting watermelon seeds, be sure to space them about 6 feet apart.
It is recommended to give them 1 to 2 inches of water per week.
Southern Africa and Florida Watermelon
Southern Africa and Florida are both known for their delicious watermelons. In Southern Africa, watermelons are a popular crop due to the region's warm and dry climate. The most popular varieties include the Crimson Sweet and Sugar Baby.
In Florida, watermelons are a major crop and are typically harvested from April to July. The state's warm and humid climate is perfect for growing watermelons, and the most popular varieties include the Jubilee and Charleston Gray.
Overall, growing watermelons can be a fun and rewarding experience. By selecting the right variety, providing ample space and water, and harvesting at the right time, you can enjoy a delicious and juicy fruit straight from your own garden.
Conclusion
Now that you know how much water is in watermelon, you can appreciate it even more as a refreshing and hydrating snack on hot summer days. Here are some key takeaways to keep in mind:
Watermelon is approximately 92% water, making it an excellent thirst-quencher.
In addition to water, watermelon also contains important vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and potassium, which can help promote eye and skin health.
Despite its high water content, watermelon is also a sweet and juicy snack that can help you feel full and satisfied. | eng | 863c30cc-6653-4a45-ade0-9e40b25331bd | https://batikindonesia.com/what-percentage-of-a-watermelon-is-water/ |

Which Takes Less Energy? AC Fan On or in Auto?
During the hot weather, operating your air conditioning can be your largest monthly electrical cost. So, it's given that you're seeking methods to consume less energy. That can entail using an energy-efficient AC setting or even upgrading to an ENERGY STAR®-rated system during air conditioner installation. Changing your air conditioning's fan setting is another way you can conserve money. Your air conditioner works with a fan to deliver the chilled air it produces. You adjust this fan at your thermostat by setting it to "auto," which signifies the fan will only be on when the air conditioner is going. Or you can switch it to "on," which means it will work constantly. Does putting your AC on "fan" save energy in Saint Louis? This isn't always the case. Usually, using your air conditioner's fan all day is going to make your energy bill slightly higher. But it also has a few advantages (and downsides) when it comes to your home's comfort. Here's why.
Air Conditioner Fan Set to "On"
Having your air conditioner's fan go all the time can better stabilize your house's comfort. This is great if you have a two-story home, since rooms upstairs can be warmer. It's also great if you have difficulties with unbalanced cooling due to hot and cold spaces. It's also good if someone in your household has allergies, asthma or other respiratory symptoms. That's since the air is constantly being circulated and purified. On the other hand, you may have to switch your air filters more often. Having the fan on constantly can also make your energy bills more expensive. It could also result in the fan wearing out faster and need air conditioning repair. Your house may also feel more humid. Air conditioning helps balance humidity by drawing water from the air. But if the fan is constantly running, it's more difficult for moisture to drip from the condenser externally.
Air Conditioner Fan Set to "Auto"
This is the highest energy-efficient setting, because the fan will only go when your air conditioner does. It's ideal if your home always feels the right temperature, whichever area you're in. There are a few drawbacks to using the auto setting. You may have hot and cold areas in your home and reduced air quality. This is due to the fact air isn't always moving or being constantly filtered. On the other hand, you'll consume a lower amount of energy and won't be required to get a new air filter as regularly. Both are savings that can add up during the year, so you'll have to think about what's best for your household. If you're experiencing home comfort issues during hot weather, Morgner Inc. Air Conditioning & Heating can support you. We sell a large range of energy-efficient air conditioners that can keep your residence more pleasant while also helping you save more on energy costs. Many also work with the latest smart home technology, giving you the opportunity to check and change home comfort settings while you're gone.

Climate-smart management of aquatic genetic resources
Aquatic genetic resources are the genetic material (populations, individuals, gametes, DNA and alleles) of all aquatic plants and fish that provide food and related goods and services to humans, or that have potential to do so (Pullin and White, 2011). The world's aquatic ecosystems contain over 150 000 species of fish, molluscs, crustaceans and aquatic plants (Bartley and Halwart, 2017). The world's fisheries harvest over 2 000 species including fish, crustaceans, molluscs, coelenterates (e.g. jellyfish), echinoderms (e.g. sea urchins and sea cucumbers) and aquatic plants (FAO, 2014c). The number of farmed aquatic species is smaller, but still extremely high. FAO aquaculture production statistics have registered close to 600 species of fish and aquatic invertebrates and plants farmed around the world. However, only ten species (shellfish, crustaceans, plants and fin fish) account for half of the total aquaculture production (FAO, 2013a). Unlike terrestrial agriculture in which farmers have been using thousands of breeds and varieties for thousands of years, the domestication of aquatic species in aquaculture became more widely practiced only during the twentieth century (Nash, 2011). An exception is the common carp, which was domesticated centuries ago (Balon, 1995). Nonetheless, aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector (8 percent average growth per year between 2006-2016) and is expected to play a major role in providing aquatic food in the future, as production from capture fisheries has plateaued (FAO, 2014c). As of 2014, about 50 percent of the aquatic food consumed comes from aquaculture (FAO, 2016c).
B8 - 6.1 Impact of climate change on aquatic genetic resources
Climate affects many aspects of aquatic environments, including water temperature; oxygenation; the acidity, salinity and turbidity of seas, lakes and rivers; the depth and flow of inland waters; the circulation of ocean currents; and the prevalence of aquatic diseases, parasites and toxic algal blooms. The impacts of climate change on fisheries and aquaculture are addressed in detail in chapter B4 -3.1. This chapter addresses the specific impacts of climate change on aquatic genetic resources.
Acidification of seawater, caused by increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (Nellemann, Hain and Alder, 2008) may compromise the role calcifying organisms play in sequestrating carbon, especially in shore areas. This will slow the growth rate of many aquatic species of molluscs and certain crustaceans, including zooplankton, and will have implications for the whole structure and functions of aquatic ecosystems. Over the long term, climate change is also expected to change some ocean currents, affecting the migration routes of some aquatic species and the dispersal of eggs and larvae (FAO, 2015b).
Rising temperatures affect the distribution and abundance of marine organisms. Some warm-water aquatic species are shifting towards the poles, and driving some native cold-water species towards extinction. In most environments, higher temperatures promote an increase in the productivity and growth rates of aquatic organisms. However, higher temperatures may also disrupt the timing of reproduction, negatively affect life cycles, limit the availability of food supplies or increase the prevalence of diseases, parasites and predators. Many aquatic organisms depend on having stable biological communities around them (FAO, 2015b). They are therefore vulnerable not only to direct effects on their own physiology, but also to disruptions that may occur because of the impacts climate change has on other organisms (Guinotte and Fabry, 2008). Some aquatic communities are reliant on particular species, such as corals, kelp, mangroves and sea grass. If these species are unable to adapt, whole communities will be disrupted and may disappear completely. Extreme weather events may lead to escapes from fish farms, with adverse effects on the genetic diversity of wild populations (FAO, 2015b).
Estuaries, lagoons and other coastal brackish waters are likely to be affected in several ways by climate change (Bates et al., 2008; Andrews, 1973; Smock et al., 1994). These environments are particularly vulnerable to hurricanes and storms, which are predicted to become more frequent under climate change. Rising sea levels will also be a threat. Heavy rainfall over the land may increase the runoff of freshwater, nutrients, sediments and pollutants into coastal waters (FAO, 2015b).
Many rivers will be affected by changing patterns in precipitation and evaporation (Ficke, 2007; MEA, 2005). More frequent droughts increase the risk that small lakes and rivers will dry out completely, creating barriers to waterbody connectivity and fish migration, major disruptions of local fisheries and threats to biodiversity. Unusually heavy rains may result in extreme flooding, temporarily merging previously separated water bodies and facilitating the introduction and spread of invasive species (FAO, 2015b). Runoff increases turbidity and siltation, which can lead to the elimination of aquatic species that require very clear water (e.g. giant clams and corals feeding through symbiotic zooxanthellaexxi). Turbidity also lowers light penetration and reduces the abundance and activity of the phytoplankton that form the basis of most aquatic food webs. For other species, it also hampers vision making it harder to feed, reproduce and avoid predators. Siltation can lead to the physical burial of sessile organisms, such as corals and bivalves (FAO, 2015b). Greater availability of nutrients can also cause rapid increases in the abundance of some invertebrates (Flint, 1985). Runoff can also generate harmful algal blooms or pollute the water (De Casablanca et al., 1997). Harmful algal blooms are also likely to increase as waters become warmer, threating coastal aquaculture and fisheries. Climate change may also favour some microbial pathogens and promote the spread of diseases among aquatic populations. Where the direct effects of climate change are combined with increasing water abstraction and other anthropogenic pressures, the loss of significant numbers of aquatic species may occur.
Climate change will increase physiological stress in some farmed aquatic species populations, affecting productivity and susceptibility to certain diseases. However, in some areas, higher temperatures may also increase the ranges of some fisheries and allow the farming of some aquatic species in new areas and with increases in growth rates and productivity (FAO, 2015b).
More than 150 000 species of finfish, molluscs, crustaceans and aquatic plants have been described and recorded in various databases. FAO production statistics show that almost 600 species are being used in aquaculture (Bartley and Halwart, 2017). Information is largely at the species level (FAO, 2017b). Despite a much shorter history of domestication and genetic improvement compared to agriculture, the processes of domestication and selection have created significant inter- and intra-specific diversity, in the form of specific strainsxxii, varietiesxxiii, stocksxxiv, hybridsxxv, polyploidsxxvi and other genetic types (see also module B4 on climate-smart fisheries and aquaculture). Many identification tools are readily available (FAO, 2013b) and are becoming increasingly refined with the advance of molecular technologies.
Genetic information and technologies, which are useful for coping with and mitigating climate change, are not commonly used in fisheries and aquaculture. In aquaculture, the switching from one species to another has been a successful strategy for coping with disease outbreaks or other problems. This may also be an option for the sector for responding to the impacts related to climate change. Although genetic information has been used for the development and management of some aquatic species, examples are usually limited to a few commercially important species in developed countries.
B8 - 6.3 Sustainable use and development of aquatic genetic resources for climate change adaptation
Climate change will have impacts on availability of freshwater resources and ambient temperatures, which will have consequences for the survival, spawning and migration of aquatic species. Different species will have varying abilities to tolerate changes to the changing environmental conditions. Indirect impacts on aquatic organisms will result from changes in ecosystem functions. The impacts of climate change are expected to be greater in equatorial and tropical regions, where aquatic species live at the upper end of their thermal tolerance.
From the perspective of genetic resources development, there is little that can be done to promote adaptation to climate change among the target species of wild capture fisheries production systems. As discussed in module B4 on climate-smart fisheries, adaptation actions are linked mainly to environmental management, which typically involve the maintenance of water quality, flow and connectivity, and the protection of habitat. In some instances, it is possible to restock aquatic ecosystems with wild or hatchery-reared fish that have the appropriate environmental adaptations. This can be used to restore production in irreversibly damaged systems. However, restocking can also have large and irreversible genetic effects on surviving wild populations. When maladapted farmed species are introduced into open waters, they can breed with wild relatives and threaten their viability or simply displace them. One typical maladaptation in farmed fish is the trait of precocious breeding or out-of-season breeding. This is due to on-farm selection for early spawning or later migration, which is preferred in aquaculture systems. However, this trait causes fish to respond inappropriately to environmental cues for breeding and migration.
Aquaculture as a managed food production system has greater potential for adaptation to climate change than capture fisheries. It is potentially a climate-smart production system, particularly for the opportunities it offers for raising low trophic level species that have a lower carbon footprint than many intensive livestock systems.
There is a considerable diversity of aquaculture species across a wide range of taxa (Table B8.3) with the greatest diversity in the Asia. More species are used in marine and coastal aquaculture (526) than in inland aquaculture (441).

This genetic diversity in aquaculture food production shows the tremendous potential that exists to use genetic information and technologies for reducing risk, responding to external shocks and climate change, and accommodating changes in consumer demands or government policies (Singh, Boukerrou and Miller, 2010; Harvey et al., 2017). Some of these species can be used not only to produce food but other products, such as pharmaceuticals and biofuels. Aquaculture is a new and rapidly diversifying production sector, so there have been relatively little improvements made in the genetic resources that are used. However, where efforts have been made to systematically improve the breeds used in aquaculture, the results indicate that selective breeding can increase aquatic food production by 5 to 12 percent per year (Gjedrem, Robinson and Rye, 2012). There are financial and management challenges to overcome for improving genetic resources used in aquaculture, which is why significant progress has been made with only a handful of species so far. The focus has largely been on typical domestication objectives, such as increasing production, improving feed conversion, accelerating growth rates and strengthening disease resistance.
B8 - 6.4 Sustainable use and development of aquatic genetic resources for climate change mitigation
With over 70 percent of the planet covered by water, marine and freshwater ecosystems and their biota account for the largest carbon and nitrogen fluxes on the planet and also serve as its largest carbon sinks (Pullin and White, 2011). Terrestrial aquatic ecosystems include wetlands, rice fields, peatlands, mangroves, rivers, streams, ponds and lakes. In marine ecosystems, there are many coastal and oceanic processes that cycle and sequester nitrogen and carbon. Aquatic ecosystems and their associated biodiversity have immense importance and offer future potential for mitigating climate change.
As is the case with all agricultural sectors, food production from aquaculture and fisheries depends on ecosystem goods and services. The extent to which ecosystem habitats and processes deliver these goods and services is linked to the integrity of the ecosystem. Aquatic genetic diversity is an important component of ecosystem integrity. Environmental changes, both anthropogenic and climate driven, can disturb the integrity of the ecosystem and disrupt it functions, including those that contribute to climate change mitigation. For example, the sequestration of carbon in coral is affected by bleaching, which in turn is linked to sea temperature and nutrients. Likewise, wetlands and peatlands (see Box B7.2) can sequester carbon and organic matter, but will only do so when maintained in permanently wet conditions. Disturbances on peatlands, especially drainage, result in rapid mineralization of stored carbon – a process that releases carbon dioxide emissions. Managed wetland landscapes, such as rice farming systems (see chapter B1 - 3.1), also release greenhouse gases, primarily methane.
Food production is one of the principle human activities that drive change in aquatic ecosystems. Other drivers of change include pollution and water use for other economic sectors. Efforts need to be made to minimize the impacts of these diverse forces on aquatic ecosystem functions. There are a range of cross-sectoral interventions that can serve to mitigate these impacts. In the terrestrial domain, most of these interventions revolve around the reduction of the impacts of climate change on hydrological regimes. This is done through better watershed management, particularly erosion and pollution control, which can be partly accomplished through the sustainable soil and land management practices, which are dealt with in module B7. The maintenance of freshwater connectivity is critical as it allows aquatic species to migrate and breed. Conserving and restoring damaged and threatened coastal areas, for example, by replanting mangroves, is also important. Other cross-sectoral forms of land and water management linked to food production that could contribute significantly to climate change mitigation include the integrated crop-aquaculture production systems (e.g. fish raised in flooded rice fields) and multitrophic mariculture. Potential approaches that need further research and trial development include the redesign of reservoirs and management of natural lakes to minimize their greenhouse gas emissions.
There is a need to appraise the practical application of aquaculture and fisheries systems that extract and capture nutrients, particularly carbon, and the mass production and harvesting of micro-and/or macroalgae as feedstocks for clean biofuels.
B8 - 6.5 Conservation of aquatic genetic resources
In situ and ex situ conservation are both important for the conservation of aquatic genetic diversity, the development of commercial applications for this diversity, and its application to support climate change adaptation and make improvements in aquaculture species and breeds.
Intraspecific genetic characterization in terms of local populations, stocks and strains of aquatic genetic resources is an essential first step in the conservation of these resources (see chapter B8 - 6.2). Within a given species, distinct populations can tolerate different ranges of ecological conditions and they will have different levels of susceptibility to climate change. This aspect deserves particular attention in the in situ conservation of fish stocks in fisheries management. The traditional definition of a fish stock is usually geographically based and does not always consider that a given stock can be made up of distinct locally adapted populations requiring different management approaches (Bonanomi et al., 2015). Aquatic species tend to track closely their temperature boundaries of tolerance over generations, shifting their geographical range as the water warms. On a global scale, climate change is contributing to redefining aquatic species spatial distributions and the composition of biological communities at an increasing rate. To best adjust to these shifts in the ranges of species and populations, a traditional in situ conservation approach that mainly relies upon the retention of historical conditions in designated protected areas in marine, brackish and freshwaters may no longer be applicable in many cases. For this reason, there is a need for a critical reconsideration of conservation laws and programmes (Pecl et al., 2017).
Combined with in situ management, the ex situ conservation of aquatic genetic resources of farmed species and their wild relatives in aquaculture facilities, culture collections, gene banks, research facilities, zoos and aquaria is essential to preserve the different stages of an organism's life cycle. For example, the cryopreservation of sperm, embryos and tissue DNA allows for the maintenance of genetic diversity that may be useful or potentially useful for coping with the impacts of climate change.
According to preliminary data submitted by countries for the State of the World on Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (FAO, 2016d), 600 species are actively conserved in situ through protected and managed areas. Some countries consider that protected areas are effective for conserving aquatic genetic resources. Seventy percent of surveyed countries have current ex situ conservation programmes. The genetic resources of more than 344 aquatic species are the subject of ex situ conservation programmes in 112 facilities in 47 surveyed countries. The potential of these species for climate change adaptation is seen as the lowest priority for ex situ conservation programmes. It is important to raise awareness about the value of adaptation and the need to establish ex situ aquaculture facilities to maintain fish germplasm of threatened species used in aquaculture operation and restocking programmes. Aquatic plants and micro-algae collections are easier to maintain. Many species and strains of aquatic microalgae are kept as ex situ tissue culture collections.
Living on-farm gene banks of some species do exist, which would qualify as in situ on-farm conservation. However on-farm in situ conservation and on-farm ex situ conservation are often difficult to distinguish. For on-farm in situ conservation, the farm would need to maintain the desired species in a stable production environment, with no further genetic alteration or manipulation to occur. Most of these conditions do not exist in commercial farming operations because adaptive management to maintain profitability is the first priority. As a result, the desired species would adapt to the production environment over time, and this could not be considered the genetic conservation of the original strain (Lorenzen et al., 2013). | eng | ef162296-094f-47b1-ab3e-884becddff1b | https://www.fao.org/climate-smart-agriculture-sourcebook/production-resources/module-b8-genetic-resources/chapter-b8-6/en/ |

Depression people may find a combination of factors lead them into a downward spiral and they find themselves in a depression and cannot see or find a way out of it.
Who Becomes Depressed?
Depression can affect anyone in the right circumstances. It may especially affect those with low self-esteem and confidence and those with a strong 'inner critic' (this can come from early life experiences). It can often be prevalent in families.
Symptoms of Depression
Depression has lots of different symptoms in thoughts, feelings and behaviours and it can have serious physical effects on the body.
Depression in Thought and Mood
Symptoms can include low mood, a loss of interest or enjoyment in most activities, feelings of guilt, helplessness, worthlessness and an inability to think clearly or to concentrate. People may find it difficult to make decisions, have no motivation or interest in life, feel irritable and intolerant of others or be tearful.
Depression in Relationships
Depression can cause people to want to isolate themselves and not want to talk to others. This can result in damage to personal relationships and feelings of being very alone.
Depression in the Body
Physical symptoms of depression can include lack of energy, moving and speaking more slowly, changes in appetite (eating less or eating more), aches and pains and sleep disturbances like insomnia or difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep. It can also cause heart palpitations and digestive issues. The stress chemicals involved in depression can suppress the immune system which makes it easier to become ill.
Addiction
Depression can cause people with addictions to increase their use as a way to cope with how they are feeling. This can lead to serious health consequences and can lead to a downward spiral into feeling worse and falling deeper into addiction.
Suicidal Feelings
At its worst depression can lead some people to feeling that there is no way out of the pain they are feeling and this can lead to thoughts of suicide or even attempts to commit suicide. There are around 6,000 suicides a year in Britain, primarily among men.
Counselling
Being able to talk through your issues can help you to come to terms with what is happening in your life and work through the difficult feelings.
Talking about issues which have been stuck inside us for a long time can be cathartic.
Counselling can help us to find ourselves, to feel lighter emotionally and to make changes in our lives for the better | eng | 1747da6b-d1aa-472b-953a-3cbe73b2d80b | https://sarahgrahamcounselling.com/2021/09/depression/ |

Joyce Meyer Daily Devotional October 16 2023.
Share this post:
The theme for today's Joyce Meyer daily devotional October 16 2023 is "We All Work Together"
SCRIPTURE: For as in one physical body we have many parts…and all of these parts do not have the same function or use, so we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ (the Messiah) and individually, we are parts one of another [mutually dependent on one another]. — Romans 12:4-5 (AMPC).
Today's verses teach us about the diversity of gifts given to individuals. We are all parts of one body in Christ, and He is the Head. In the physical realm, all body parts must relate to the head if everything is to be in good working order. The various parts of the physical body work together; they are not jealous or competitive. The hands help the feet put their shoes on. The feet take the body wherever it needs to go. The mouth does the talking for the rest of the body. There are many parts to the body; they don't all have the same function, but they all work together for one combined purpose. The spiritual body of Christ should work the same way. That is why the Holy Spirit used the example of the physical body when He inspired Paul to write the book of Romans.
When we attempt to function in any way other than the way God has created and assigned us to function, we end up with pressure in our lives. But when we do what God has designed us to do, we experience joy, satisfaction, and great reward. We need to work with the Holy Spirit to discover what our unique, customized destiny is, and then do everything we can do to fulfill it. When God has gifted or enabled you to do something, you will be good at it, so find something you are good at and start doing it.
Prayer of the Day: Father, I know we are all different, but help me always to realize that we are one body in Christ, Your Son. Guide me to embrace and make the most of Your gifts, so that I can help facilitate peace, harmony, purpose, and joy—not only in my own life, but in the lives of others, amen. | eng | 31f37bf9-9187-4f83-b8bd-fd19416ee06c | https://www.allpastors.com/joyce-meyer-daily-devotional-october-16-2023/ |
ultima septem verba
The sayings spoken by Jesus as he died on the cross – also known as the seven last words from the cross – are recorded in the four Gospels. Haydn's Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze is part of a long tradition of setting those 'seven last words' to music.
John XIX: 17-18
Then they seized hold of Jesus. And carrying his own cross, he started out towards what is known as "the place of the skull", in Hebrew "Golgotha". There, they crucified him.
One of the criminals hanging from a nailed to the cross insulted him: "Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us as well." The other one, rebuking him, said in reply: "You have no fear of God, though you are under the same sentence! We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve, but this man has done nothing wrong." Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you enter your kingdom". And Jesus answered him: "Truly, I say to you: today you will be with me in Paradise."
Standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary the Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and his beloved disciple, he said to his mother: "Woman, here is your son".
From the sixth hour, darkness came over all the land until the ninth hour. About the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice: "Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?" That is to say: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
Knowing that everything had now been accomplished, so Scripture may be fulfilled, Jesus said: "I thirst". A jar full of vinegar stood there, so they attached a sponge soaked with vinegar on a hyssop branch and lifted it to his lips. After Jesus drank the vinegar, he said: "It is finished". | eng | 6cad16ba-d9c3-4ebd-b2b0-11d8f0b49625 | https://www.brusselsphilharmonic.be/en/news/ultima-septem-verba |
Anavar only cycle
It's strongly recommended that Anavar not be used for longer than 8 weeks due to its potential for causing stress to the liver as an oral steroid Going further, they mistakenly believe that PCT isn't necessary after such a cycle. However, it's worth stressing that var is indeed a steroid and if you happen to run an Anavar only cycle, you should still consider PCT - especially at higher doses. This can be a wise choice, as it introduces the body to a much less toxic compound, at a time when the body's tolerance is less. You may drop 7-9 pounds in four weeks if the cutting cycle is what we're referring to. This Now, I know anavar-only cycles are frowned upon here, but I've been researching and at this point I think it's mostly broscience An var only cycle is a great cycle for newbies with no true bb-aspirations, like strenght/power athletes, fighters, fitness models. | eng | 2712ebf3-def9-4673-b19a-6f74ac628469 | https://www.ceramicchickens.org/group/mysite-200-group/discussion/afb04d66-5404-40a7-b5d1-1fef300b074c |

It depends on the level of "without google" you're gunning for. There are a lot of AOSP derivatives, but those still are mostly google-centric.
If you really want out of the google ecosystem, you'd have to use something like Sailfish OS or Ubuntu Touch. Of these, Sailfish OS is probably the most well rounded. Unfortunately, while SFOS support was on the table for a bit in the FP2 days, it has not been mentioned since.
PostmarketOS, while also a non-google OS, is not going anywhere. (and I don't expect that to change anytime soon)
It must be noted that SailfishOS and ubports both often use outdated Android vendor blobs via Halium just like any AOSP derivative.
Sailfish even adds more proprietary code in the form of their Android app compatibility layer.
0nn0:
even AOSP is not a good choice for maintaining privacy.
Why not? Serious options like GrapheneOS and my DivestOS sure seem to handle this just fine as far as I know. eg.
I would love for SFOS to step away from Halium, but AFAIK Halium is not a full android implementation. It does not phone home, like AOSP does. Many of the AOSP derivatives don't actually do a lot to remove the parts on AOSP that do phone home. At most they will replace services like the app store with their own, but still leave in the defaults for DNS, NTP and other services.
So that's why I chose SFOS. It doesn't do these things. It is its own ecosystem and not in any way influenced by google, where possible. And have to admit that I do use the compatibility layer for two apps which I can't find a good replacement, I use SFOS native for all other things I do with the phone. Bottom line: I don't want to be in the google ecosystem in any way, shape or form if possible, but I do need a phone I can use instead of a toy that crashes all the time. SFOS does that for the most part.
What GrapheneOS is doing is certainly interesting, but since those exclusively run on devices with a google TPM on it, so that's a no go for fairphone I guess. As for DivestOS, I had not heard of it before. But since lineage does very little to improve privacy, I don't think you're off to a good start. But that is only after taking a quick glace at the website. They're both AOSP at the core, so they're not serious contenders for me.
I am not buying another phone that forces me to use Android (or another proprietary OS, for that matter), so I am very curious about the hardware driver situation of the FP5. Is the hardware used Linux-compatible this time around?
My goal is to have a phone where I can install PostmarketOS and all features work.
Wondering if there is a more or less reliable estimation, how much weeks/months after a new phone release the first official builds of a Custom ROM arrive?
E.g. does anyone know how long it took for the FP4 for example?
As we see, Murena phones already available, so do they directly got the bootloader unlocked etc.?
Or is it as there is a closer relation between Fairphone and Murena / "/e/OS" and they got the phone a bit beforehand so they could start all the needed adaptions?
looks like Lineage took until January 2023 until it was official (some test build were flying around in September 2022 I think)
I mean not only iodéOS is a fork of LineageOS, but also /e/ OS. So the support could have happened even earlier, I think. But there was probably no developer willing to do it? (Just a guess, can't remember).
And keep in mind that FP4 was only available from around December '21 due to supply shortages.
Therefore, many developers did not have the opportunity to start working on it until January '22.
The situation today is quite different. First of all, there are almost no more supply bottlenecks. And you can buy FP5's with /e/ OS from the very beginning. That should make it much easier for devs.
But they still need a device to do the work. We could maybe crowdsource some FP5's for lineageOS/divestOS/etc development?
Nevertheless, I would really appreciate Fairphone providing a google free alternative OS like they did with the FP2 for example.
There is nothing fair about you starting up you new "fair" phone and instantly being hit with an unavoidable request to accept Google's terms and conditions plus a bunch of uninstallable apps which all try to grab your data. Disabling chrome & replacing it with a privacy-friendly browser even broke the phone setup program when it wanted me to chose my search engine. | eng | bb71557f-e903-498f-8828-c6b071001488 | https://forum.fairphone.com/t/fp5-without-google/99366 |

Water-soluble synthetic polymers (WSSPs) are found in many everyday products. What the consequences are when these plastics enter rivers, lakes and oceans is still largely unexplored. A team from the University of Bayreuth has now systematically investigated the effects on water fleas of the species Daphnia magna for the first time. The polymers selected for testing significantly alter the body size and reproduction of the animals in some cases. The research, published in Science of The Total Environment, shows that water-soluble polymers could have consequences for biodiversity and food chains in aquatic ecosystems that should not be underestimated.
In the cultivation of organic cacao, many factors determine the yield. An international research team with scientists from the universities of Würzburgh and Göttingen has now identified important players and their combined effects.
Climate change is putting increasing pressure on forests. In recent years substantial forest areas have died off in Central Europe as a result of climate extremes. With the participation of the Technical University of Munich (TUM), researchers have now generated the first climate risk map for the earth's forests. The map clearly shows that, in addition to Central Europe, forests in western North America as well as the southern portion of the boreal forest and the eastern Amazon are particularly at risk.
Bayreuth biologist PD Dr. Andreas Hemp has discovered a previously unknown orchid species of the genus Rhipidoglossum in northeastern Tanzania. Together with his British colleague Dr. Phil Cribb from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kew, London, he has scientifically described it in the journal "Kew Bulletin". The new species was named Rhipidoglossum pareense, in keeping with its location in the South Pare Mountains.
Alternative proteins are now considered essential components of a sustainable, safe, and equitable diet. The Good Food Institute (GFI) is a global NGO that aims to advance the research, production, use and marketing of such proteins. The University of Bayreuth has recently become a member of the GFI's Alt Protein Project. Alexandra Molitorisová, Federica Ronchetti and Alessandro Monaco, research associates in the Food Law research group, are leading the new "Bayreuth-Kulmbach Alt Protein Project".
The disruptions in global trading markets resulting from the war in Ukraine, among other causes, have focused public attention on the issue of securing a sufficient supply of high-quality foods for the global population. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) are searching for modern methods to boost global harvests and thus to ensure global food security. Wheat plays a special role in these efforts.
Composting plants process biowaste into finished compost, which ends up as fertiliser in the soils of fields. A study by the University of Bayreuth shows that finished compost from composting plants in Germany contains a large number of biodegradable plastic particles. Applicable legal and certification standards are not violated by the sizes and quantities of the particles detected. However, the data published in "Scientific Reports" call into question the contribution of these standards to effective environmental protection. They draw into question whether biodegradable plastics are suitable for replacing conventional plastics in environmentally and nutritionally sensitive areas.
Proteins control and organize almost every aspect of life. The totality of all proteins in a living organism, a tissue or a cell is called the proteome. Using mass spectrometry, researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) characterize the proteome, or protein complement of the genome, in important model organisms. In 2014, a team at the Chair of Proteomics and Bioanalytics reported a draft human proteome for the first time, followed by that of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana in 2020, and now that of the most common laboratory mouse. | eng | 0af8af23-1fd2-412b-a081-1397cd550dce | https://www.research-in-bavaria.de/search/tag/zoology-agricultural-and-forest-science |
Dyson bladeless fan, how it works?
A fan, there is nothing much wrong their... Well actually there is. Leaving aside blades, safety grills and limited settings and design has hardly changed since 1895.
Spinning blades chop the air causing annoying buffeting. Turn it off, and you realise how unsettling it has been. Our solution uses air foil technology creating a steady stream of smooth cooling air. It works by accelerating sir by an angular aperture creating a jet of air that passes over an air foil ramp channelling its direction. Surrounding air is drawn into the air flow amplifying it 15 times, providing it smooth air you can control without the blades and without the buffeting | eng | b405d87b-fd3a-4cba-8374-899526444eb2 | https://www.fabmart.com/products/dyson-bladeless-fan-how-it-works-video |

Getting Out of Jail After an Arrest
Should You Turn Yourself In?
If you find out that there is a warrant out for your arrest, you face a tough choice. Should you turn yourself in, or should you try to evade the police?
Perhaps the best thing about turning yourself in is that your willingness to respond to the warrant will likely impress the judge and inspire them to set a low bail.
Another thing you can do when you decide to turn yourself in is to contact Absolute Bail Bonds in Long Beach before you're charged. While we won't be able to write a bail bond before you're arraigned, we can answer all of your questions, go over the bail bond contract with you, and even determine if you'll likely need a co-signer or collateral to secure your bail bond.
The great thing about doing all of this prior to turning yourself in is that it speeds up the process, so you'll quickly be released from jail and out on bail.
Is Traveling While Your Out on Bail a Possibility
The travel restrictions you face will likely differ from the travel restrictions that are placed on someone else who was arrested the same day as you were. There are a few reasons for this.
If your travel is going to be strictly limited, you'll be told what those restrictions are before you're officially released from jail. If nothing was said to you about traveling and restrictions and you need to travel somewhere, even if it's just an overnight getaway a couple of hundred miles away, it's in your best interest to contact your bail bonds agency and discuss the situation with them. Questions they'll likely ask are:
Where you're going
Why you're traveling
How long you'll be gone
The exact date you'll be back
Based on this information, the bail bonds agency will likely tell you if it's okay for you to travel or if you should stay home instead. If you are cleared for travel, don't be surprised if the bail bonds agency doesn't ask you to touch base with them as soon as you return home.
If you've been arrested, it's in your best interest to contact Absolute Bail Bonds in Long Beach right away. Our consultations are completely free and available 24/7 | eng | 1a0e3000-503e-43ba-a58c-c9deb865cc98 | https://www.absolutebailbonds.com/getting-out-of-jail-after-an-arrest/ |
How to Make a Bed in Minecraft: A Comprehensive Guide
Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity knows no bounds! Building a comfortable shelter is crucial for surviving the hostile world in Minecraft. And what's a cozy shelter without a comfortable bed? In this article, we'll guide you through the process of making a bed in Minecraft. You don't need to be a Minecraft expert to follow these steps, so let's get started!
Steps how to make a bed Minecraft
Step 1: Collect Wool
The first step in making a bed in Minecraft is to collect wool. You need three wool blocks to make one bed. You can either find sheep wandering around or shearing them to obtain their wool. To shear a sheep, hold a pair of shears and right-click on the sheep. After shearing, the sheep will turn back into its original state after eating grass.
Step 2: Collect Wood Planks
Now that you have three wool blocks, it's time to collect wood planks. You need three wood planks to make a bed. You can get wood by punching a tree with your fist or by using an axe. Once you have collected the wood, make planks by placing the wood in the crafting table.
Step 3: Open the Crafting Table
To craft a bed in Minecraft, you need to open the crafting table. You can have your own crafting table by crafting four wooden planks. Then, you put them in every corner. Now when you right-click on the crafting table, a 3×3 crafting grid will open.
Step 4: Arrange the Wool Blocks and Wood Planks
In the 3×3 crafting grid, place the three wool blocks in the top three boxes and three wood planks in the bottom three boxes to make a bed.
Step 5: Take the Bed
Once you have placed the wool blocks and wood planks in the crafting table, a bed will appear in the result box. Drag the bed to your inventory to pick it up.
Step 6: Place the Bed in Your Shelter
Now that you have crafted a bed, it's time to place it in your shelter. Place the bed on the ground in a suitable spot, such as the centre of the room. Remember, the bed must be kept away from walls and obstructions for it to work properly.
Step 7: Sleep in Your Bed
The bed is now ready to use. Once placed and not obstructed, right-click on the bed, and you will go into sleeping mode. Sleeping in a bed can help you skip the night and prevent hostile mobs from spawning. After sleeping, you will wake up next to your bed.
Step 8: Break the Retrieved Bed
If you wish to relocate your bed, you can use a tool to break it first. The bed will break, and you can take the bed with you.
Step 9: Use the Bed in Multiplayer Mode
If you're playing Minecraft in multiplayer mode, every player should have a bed to have the same "spawn point." If one player sleeps while others don't, it will change the world's time and appearance. A warning message will appear to the players that they should sleep before it's too late.
Step 10: Craft a Bed for Aesthetic Purposes
You can choose different colours of wool, like red, blue, green, and white, to make the bed look more appealing. Changing the colour of the bed will not affect its function.
Step 11: Upgrade Your Bed to a Bigger One
You can upgrade your bed to a bigger size once you have discovered dye. You can make a king-sized or queen-sized bed with four wool blocks and four planks of wood.
Step 12: Play with Design
You can use a bed as an excellent addition to your interior design, invest in building it with different patterns and create unique bedding. Why not try using a combination of different coloured wool blocks for a polka dot pattern?
Explanation how to make a bed Minecraft
Now that you know the steps, let's get into a more in-depth explanation of each step.
In step 1, when collecting wool, we recommend getting at least six pieces of wool for any future bed-making needs. Wool can also be used for other objects like carpets, banners, etc. You can dye wool different colours by combining it with specific dyes in the right pattern.
Step 2 deals with collecting wood planks. Remember always to have a few pieces of wood planks handy. They can be used for fences, doors, stairs, and more. We suggest making at least a couple of planks for this reason, as it won't hamper your production of beds from other resources.
If you are playing in single-player mode, the bed you craft serves as a spawn point. So it would be best to make several beds and arrange them throughout the shelter to make spawning more convenient.
In multiplayer mode, if every player does not have a bed, it makes it harder to navigate during the game's night-time hours. Players can get attacked by hostile mobs and suffer health damage.
Tips and Tricks how to make a bed Minecraft
1. Crafting a bed is a basic item to consider for your shelter, so prioritize learning the crafting method to make the perfect bed.
2. Wool is ideal for making warm and helpful clothing during winter. Keep in mind that in cold biomes like forest and taiga zones, sheep have a higher spawning ratio.
3. Collecting materials takes time, be patient and make sure to kill two birds with one stone by gathering a surplus of materials whenever you have the opportunity.
4. Cobblestone or stone bricks can be an excellent material for a bed's foot and headboards. Decorating with other materials can add a nice touch to the bed.
5. Make a bed with a specific theme in mind. Try choosing different colours and dye combinations. Make a bed similar to a bassinet or canopy bed, depending on your preferences.
6. Making a bed outside your shelter can help you create a cozy atmosphere, close to the outdoors. You can use different materials like wool to make it sturdier and keep it looking great outdoors.
7. If you can afford it, it may be best to invest in different coloured beds to rotate and match with your Minecraft building theme.
8. Build beds in hidden, enclosed areas that are safe from spiders, zombies and other hostile mobs. Also, avoid obstructions when placing the bed to prevent it from setting your spawn point incorrectly.
9. Always keep a close eye on the current time of day while collecting materials to ensure you have enough daylight to make your way back to the shelter easily.
10. Be creative! There's no limit to what you can do in Minecraft. So change patterns, materials, and images, and make something amazing!

From Books to Backyards: How Outdoor Yard Games Enhance College Life
In early life, kids engage a lot in outdoor games. However, the intensity of play decreases as they grow. Research by BioMed Central shows college students play outdoors less. They have so many issues to deal with in academics and life.
A report by the National Wildlife Federation shows students who play more are happier. Their brain releases serotonin and endorphins which increases mood. They improve their mental health, academic performance, and social life. It builds their cognitive, endurance, and gross motor skills.
Improved body mass index
A study by NIH shows that many college students do not eat the required diets. They fail to follow physical activity guidelines and thus increase their BMI. The report says about 20.9% of college learners are obese. It is a growing problem that colleges need to address fast. In 1980, only about 7% of students were classified as obese. Based on the NHI study, the number has grown three times today.
One of the solutions to increase BMI is outdoor yard games. As the learners play, they burn extra calories which balances their BMI. Obese students find it harder to learn due to the health challenges it brings. A study by Research Gate found that obese students get criticized at college. This affects their learning and they perform poorly in academics. Harassment and criticism are not the only challenges experienced in college. There have been reports of sexual assault in most institutions. Beyond colleges, the problem is also experienced in the US Army. The army has been running a program known as SHARP. Its purpose is to create awareness and prevent such incidents from happening. Many essay topics have been written about SHARP and its work. You can find interesting SHARP essay topics where you can draw inspiration. The essay examples are created by essay writing experts with vast experience.
Better social life
Regular socialization builds lasting relationships. Psychreg reports that social connections are healthy in college. It builds quality relationships which can help fight depression and anxiety. Socialization can help reduce stress and bad mood. This is due to the release of oxytocin, the hormone that lowers anxiety.
Improved sleep
A report by Resources to Recover shows outdoor play prepares the body for deep sleep. The report says an increase in endorphins increases the production of melatonin. This is the hormone that triggers the body to fall asleep. In a report by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, sleep improves health. The report says people who get enough sleep fall sick less often. They improve mood and reduce the chances of getting diabetes and heart disease. Students perform better at school due to a relaxed mind.
Mental stimulation
Suicide Prevention Resource Center says poor mental health affects many students. A 2023 study shows 50% of students suffer from mental health stressors. The stressors range from exam pressure to finances, relationships, and academics. If not checked, they lead to mental health challenges such as depression and suicidal thoughts. A student might show withdrawal habits and difficulty reading books or writing. Mental exercises help improve mental stimulation which improves health. Outdoor play reduces stressors which improves self-esteem and cognition. In a study by Charles Darwin University, mental health improves learning. It can be improved through outdoor games.
Improved teamwork
Teamwork helps students create strong relationships with other learners. It promotes a supportive learning environment. Students put their energies into working towards a common goal. It fosters respect, trust, and unity among peers. Working in a group stirs students into a different thinking style. They form a new learning perspective and a chance to build communication skills. It creates a platform for brainstorming on different ideas which improves learning.
A break from using devices
A report by Headphone Addict says teenagers spend about 7.5 hours daily on screens. Too much screen time has negative effects on the mental health of learners. They learn to depend more on gadgets which can affect their cognitive skills. Outdoor yard games provide learners with a break from their devices. They improve their physical and mental health which is useful in college life.
Conclusion
Outdoor games are useful in the life of learners. They can provide them with the social interactions and physical fitness they need. It helps reduce stress and stimulates the brain. Learners build their cognitive, and problem-solving skills. They burn calories
which keeps their BMI in check. Due to improved well-being, learners improve their academic performance.

Headlights of any car have been the signature look since long ago. From halogens to xenon HID bulbs and now to the LEDs (light emitting diode), headlights have been modified over time for efficient consumption of energy as well as a brighter look. Unlike old-time vehicle manufacturers are switching to LED lights instead of halogens and xenon HID bulls, which consume more energy and are less efficient than LEDs.
If you are thinking of upgrading your vehicle lights to LED, this guide is for you. Ahead is everything You Need To Know about the benefits of upgrading to LED lights for your vehicle
Conservation Of Energy
The energy input-to-output ratio of LEDs is much greater than that of halogens and xenon HID bulbs. They convert electrical energy into illuminating light much easier and more efficiently. Since headlights consume car batteries to produce light, having LEDs installed preserve your car battery from depleting faster. LEDs use 40%less energy than xenon lights and 60% less energy than halogen lights which also helps reduce taxes on cars.
Longevity
In comparison to all the lights, LEDs have the longest life span out of all car lights. They can last from about 10,000 miles to 20,000 miles and sometimes even more. This feature not only helps you save money on replacing your car lights, but it can just last about the entire time you own the car.
Performance
LEDs offer more accurate coverage over areas where light is needed; this allows the drivers to see in difficult situations, which helps you protect yourself from making a deadly turn. Many off-road drivers use LEDs to navigate through difficult terrain, making them the ultimate headlights for the vehicle.
Versatility
LEDs can also be used in bad weather to see clearly, like in fog, heavy snowfall or hazy conditions where visibility is poor. Unlike yellow light, which reaches up to a few metres and then reflects off/bounces off to the dense fog resulting in low visibility, on the other hand, LEDs produce more penetrating white light, which results in increased visibility.
More Lumen With Perfect Temperature Of Colour
Since light produced from LED has a colour temperature of about 5000k which is close to sunlight rather than halogens, this unique feature provides the driver with a natural sensation of light as compared to other light, and it reflects significantly less in the eyes of other drivers. Since LEDs have more lumens, it serves as a better and more powerful alternative to other lights and unlike the traditional system, LEDs do not require a filter to acquire colour.
Conclusion
Since the time when the bulb was invented, energy consumption and the illumination it produces have been a major controversy in the field of nits. Many bulbs were made to give drivers a better visual range for safe driving. Due to online shopping services, now you can easily buy LED driving lights online with some discounts. | eng | bac1c554-0463-4ee7-9b5a-c7e48cba03d8 | https://www.dubbotourism.com.au/the-benefits-of-upgrading-to-led-lights-for-your-vehicle/ |

Jobs such as construction, infrastructure, and agriculture have been given stimulus help to try to boost the economy in rural areas. The types of houses found in India vary from wood houses, most common in the cities, to bamboo houses found in the villages. This ensures uniformity in working of all the professionals. Southern zone incorporates characteristics of both Western and Central zones comprising mainly of thorn dry and eastern highlands moist deciduous forests. All these technological changes in agriculture along-with land reforms measures were introduced in India in order to increase agricultural production and productivity and to transfer surplus labour force from agricultural sector to secondary and tertiary sector. Due to poor organisation, the programmes of reducing unemployment and under-employment problem in the rural areas failed miserably.

They mobilizefunds and help in its proper channelization among varioussectors. Large corporations tend to put their businesses in a place that has a heavy influx of people and resources, therefore, they are usually located in cities because the population is much greater. Considering the earlier mentioned position we can conclude that there was virtually no clear shift of working population from primary sector to secondary and tertiary sectors. Usually, mangrove dates, whistling pines, bullet wood and royal palm tree are predominant here. Secondary activities include manufacturing industries composed of both large and small scale and mining.

The diffusion metrics can be categorized into model-based metrics and model-free metrics. The model-based metrics are calculated by fitting dMRI signals with a model, such as a tensor model, NODDI model, and the model's parameters will provide the metrics. The model-free metrics are directly calculated from the PDF of diffusion distribution (i.e., histogram of diffusion distribution) without assuming a model.
There are pros and cons concerning each approach. Model-based metrics need fewer diffusion sampling, and the metrics are usually associated with physical or biological references. The downside is the violation of models, which is common in biological studies. Model-free metrics need more diffusion samplings, and the association between metrics and biological findings requires tissue validation. The advantage is that it does not have a model assumption.
The following is a summary of how to interpret results from diffusion metrics.
Fractional anisotropy (FA) is a measure of the degree of anisotropy, or directional dependence, of a diffusion process in a biological tissue. It is a scalar value between 0 and 1 that indicates how much the diffusion of water molecules in a tissue deviates from being isotropic, or evenly distributed, in all directions. A value of 0 indicates completely isotropic diffusion, while a value of 1 indicates completely anisotropic diffusion, where the diffusion is restricted to a single direction. FA is commonly used in medical imaging, particularly in diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), to measure the microstructural properties of tissues in the body, such as the white matter tracts in the brain or the tendons and ligaments in the musculoskeletal system. It is often used as a marker for the structural integrity of tissue and can be used to detect abnormalities or changes in tissue structure in various diseases or conditions.
AD
axial diffusivity*
Diffusion tensor
AD is nonspecifically associated with axonal density
decreases: axonal loss (Budde et al., 2007; Song et al., 2003)
Axial diffusivity is a measure of the rate at which water molecules diffuse along the primary diffusion direction in a tissue. It is one of three diffusivity measures that are commonly derived from diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). Axial diffusivity is a scalar value that is typically represented by the symbol "λ₁" and is expressed in units of square millimeters per second (mm²/s). AxRadial diffusivity is a measure of the rate at which water molecules diffuse perpendicular to the primary diffusion direction in a tissue. It is a scalar value that is typically represented by the symbol "λ₂" and is expressed in units of square millimeters per second (mm²/s). It reflects the degree to which diffusion is unrestricted in the tissue perpendicular to the primary diffusion direction and can be used to characterize the structural properties of the tissue. For example, a high radial diffusivity may indicate a lack of structural organization or coherence in a tissue, while a low radial diffusivity may indicate a highly organized or densely packed tissue structure. RadMD
mean diffusivity*
Diffusion tensor
MD is associated with edema and cell infiltration
increases: vesogenic edema, decreases: cytotoxic edema
Mean diffusivity is a scalar value that is typically represented by the symbol "λ̄" and is expressed in units of square millimeters per second (mm²/s). It is calculated as the average of the three eigenvalues of the diffusion tensor, which represents the degree of diffusional restriction in three orthogonal directions in a tissue. Mean diffusivity reflects the overall degree of diffusional freedom in the tissue and can be used to characterize the structural properties of the tissue.
QA
quantitative anisotropy
Q-space imaging
QA is associated with axonal density
decreases: axonal loss (Yeh 2019)(Shen 2015)
Quantitative anisotropy (QA) is a measure of anisotropy of a diffusion process in a biological tissue. It is less affected to edema, while FA and AD are also sensitive to edema (Yeh, 2013).
ISO
isotropy
Q-space imaging
ISO is associated with edema
increases: edema
ISO is a measure of isotropic diffusion (Yeh. 2010). It represents background isotropic diffusion contributed from CSF or edema, including both restricted and non-restricted isotropic diffusion.
Difference between model-based and model-free
Here we focus on the differences between DTI and GQI, although other model-based and model-free methods exist.
The DTI model does not consider restricted diffusion and thus FA, AD, MD are sensitive to a wide range of biological changes including edema, inflammation, or just a superimposing crossing fiber (see Yeh F-C et al. PLoS ONE 8(11): e80713.2013). More advanced methods aim to provide more specific metrics. GQI separates isotropic diffusion and anisotropic diffusion, thus minimizing the partial volume of free water. The anisotropic diffusion is further quantified per each principal diffusion direction, thus minimizing the partial volume of crossing fibers. A neurosurgery study has shown that QA is robust against peritumoral edema and contributes to more reliable tractography (Zhang, et al. Neurosurgery, 73(6), 1044-1053. 2013). A phantom study has shown that QA is more robust to the free water effect and partial volume of crossing fibers.

Futterman and Conyers on their Opposition to Amendments to The Pretrial Fairness Act
Op-Ed: Keep the Pretrial Fairness Act as-is
Craig Futterman
Herschella Conyers
November 28, 2022
Chicago Reader
Pretrial justice reform was sorely needed in Illinois to address the harm the money bond system has caused Black, Brown, and poor communities. As former public defenders and current clinical law professors, we know firsthand how the money bond system created an unfair, constitutionally-suspect, wealth-based approach to pretrial jailing outcomes.
Legislators took a major step in the right direction by passing The Pretrial Fairness Act in 2021. The legislation, set to go into effect in January, is aimed at reducing incarceration by ending the money bond system in Illinois. The purpose is simple: to ensure that people are not held in jail simply because they cannot afford to buy their freedom. But now, state legislators are considering amendments to the Pretrial Fairness Act that would undercut the purpose of the legislation and exacerbate the very issues the Act is meant to address.
The Pretrial Fairness Act allows people charged with serious crimes to be detained if they pose a flight risk or risk to public safety while limiting the scenarios in which people charged with low-level crimes can be jailed. The Illinois State's Attorney's Association has seized upon confusion created by a multi-million dollar misinformation campaign paid for by fringe political advocates to propose changes to the law. Provisions in the proposed amendments would remove the guardrails set up to achieve the law's goal of reducing pretrial jailing while protecting public safety. The result of adopting these changes would be devastating; they would increase pretrial jailing, worsen racial disparities, and make our communities less safe. | eng | c7abb3ca-6dcc-433a-bc23-f5f8b7c46c90 | https://www.law.uchicago.edu/news/conyers-and-futterman-their-opposition-towards-amendments-pretrial-fairness-act |
Through the years, we were told a parent selector would be an engineering feat that could not be achieved due to the way browsers render a page and apply computed styles to elements as a stream, one element after the other. When the browser paints a parent and inevitably its children, reevaluating this already-painted DOM to evaluate parents for children containing a particular context would be too expensive of a task.
As the years moved on, we all applied different hacks or strategies, either reworking our DOM to avoid the issue altogether or using various JavaScript techniques to select parents and add CSS classes to use instead.

What is the theory of human rights?
Human rights are a special sort of inalienable moral entitlement. They attach to all people equally, by virtue of their humanity, irrespective of race, nationality, or membership of any particular social group. Human rights belong to an individual as a consequence of being human.
Where did the idea of human rights come from?
Origins in ancient Greece and Rome. Most students of human rights trace the origins of the concept of human rights to ancient Greece and Rome, where it was closely tied to the doctrines of the Stoics, who held that human conduct should be judged according to, and brought into harmony with, the law of nature.
Who bring the concept of human rights?
The idea that human beings should have a set of basic rights and freedoms has deep roots in Britain. Landmark developments in Britain include: the Magna Carta of 1215.
What is the idea that humans are important in their own right is called?
Humanism is a democratic and ethical lifestance which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives.
Why are moral rights also called human rights?
Human rights as Ideal is also the normative supreme power which reminds the citizens of their dignity as equal human. Moral rights, on the other hand, are individual and concrete rights which are said to exist even before the statutes and the constitutions codify them.
What are the four theories of human rights?
Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination."
When did the idea of human rights emerged?
539 BC
The origins of Human Rights are ideally pinpointed to the year 539 BC. When the troops of Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon. Cyrus freed the slaves, declared that all people had the right to choose their own religion, and established racial equality.
Do human rights exist?
At the national level, human rights norms exist because they have through legislative enactment, judicial decision, or custom become part of a country's law. For example, the right against slavery exists in the United States because the 13th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits slavery and servitude.
Who is the father of human rights?
Monsieur René Cassin
Our namesake, Monsieur René Cassin, was a French-Jewish jurist, law professor and judge. Today, we celebrate the birth of the man who became known as 'the Father of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights'.
Who is the founder of human rights in India?
It was given a statutory basis by the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993 (PHRA). National Human Rights Commission of India.
How did the idea of human rights develop under the Constitution of India?
The modern developments of human rights in India emerged during the British period. The torture made by the British against Indians induced the Indians to protest against the rule of Britishers and encouraged the freedom fighters for the freedom movement to safeguard their liberties and fundamental rights and freedoms.
Who protects human rights in India?
It is constitutional mandate of judiciary to protect human rights of the citizens. Supreme Court and High Courts are empowered to take action to enforce these rights. Machinery for redress is provided under Articles 32 and 226 of the constitution | eng | 6a4f3f09-5893-46b1-9068-7620f26bd315 | https://365go.me/what-is-the-name-of-the-idea-that-humans-are-granted-rights-12515/ |

TJC: Alarm fatigue is a growing concern
January 12th, 2015
Spend any amount of time in a hospital – as a doctor, nurse, patient, or visitor – and you'll know that medical device alarms are an almost constant sound. While visiting my friend and her newborn daughter in the hospital last month, the baby's EKG monitor alarm would sound every time we shifted position while holding her. Since it was an issue with the wires in the leads, is it any wonder that the nurses were desensitized to the sound? Alarms can go off hundreds of times a day in all different hospital areas – and this "alarm fatigue" can lead to hospital staff not knowing which alarms are "false" and which are "real".
In response, The Joint Commission released a Sentinel Event Alert to warn of patient dangers due to alarm fatigue. "In response to this constant barrage of noise, clinicians may turn down the volume of the alarm setting, turn it off or adjust the alarm settings outside the limits that are safe and appropriate for the patient -- all of which can have serious, often fatal consequences," the alert says. | eng | 05b00181-996a-46af-a0b2-c32ccaf94d7e | https://www.reliasmedia.com/blogs/hospital-report-2/tjc-alarm-fatigue-is-a-growing-concern |

Find Crypto Domain Registrar
by
This is where Unstoppable Domains intends to help drive adoption of crypto. Crypto Domain Registrar…With their blockchain domains. These domains can not only be utilized as fully functional web pages, with decentralized applications (dApps) built-in, however likewise as a payment center address where users can receive over 275 various crypto coins and tokens. By offering intricate crypto addresses a human legible everything that you need to called a newbie about unstoppable domain ensure to check the links in the description for time stamps and any resources pointed out in this video so let's start how does domain registration in fact work i believe
individuals are going to be rather surprised that it's way more technical and complicated than you thought of so when you go to somewhere like namecheap.com or godaddy.com you're not actually buying the domain name what you're doing is you're launching the domain name through a icann certified domain register why do i say i can accredit because you can't get your domain names straight from i can which is once again the nonprofit company that manages the dns system you have to go through an icann certified domain name register in order to get a domain which's just how it works like you resemble why do i need to do that i don't know why asking me those are just the guidelines and that's what people have actually been doing for the last couple of years in order to get a domain so that's why you need to pay an annual pc registry for that extension
Is unstoppable domains on Ethereum? Crypto Domain Registrar
is a verisign for instance so all these various domain name extensions have various computer registries and the function of the windows registry is just to manage the administrative data for that particular domain currently type of understand why due to the fact that those are managed by verisign which is a domain tape-recording this video the main difference is that these two are tied to different block chains that's it so you have Crypto Domain Registrar name than you finish with a dot zill however functionally speaking they are the same tailored crypto addresses that can be set up as a payment entrance so this is the primary feature of unstoppable domain obviously gradually as like we have actually decentralized webhosting develop in time it will be possible to use like a decentralized domain and a decentralized webhosting to produce your own decentralized site currently it's not actually performance than conventional fully operating website that can even have dApps constructed claimed the domains exist under your address on blockchain, meaning they are as safe as the blockchain itself.
It is two times as safe since this likewise implies that the domain can not be obstructed by anybody aside from purchasing a domain is a one-time cost and requires connected with utilizing the Ethereum blockchain to claim your domain, because the domains are saved on the Ethereum blockchain, the transaction to claim them is available in ETH and is not consisted of in your preliminary purchase. The gas feesains that stick out. The fact that it is a one-time purchase without any yearly renewal is very appealing thinking about the way standard sites with dApps constructed straight on them since they exist on the blockchain, allowing the use of smart agreements on your website. Crypto Domain Registrar
Possibly the best and most attractive feature potential dealbreaker when it concerns utilizing Unstoppable Domains, and that is the expense of declaring your domain with Ethereum.
This may only be a dealbreaker since extra cost associated with getting your domain. | eng | 9867ec5b-5b58-4516-a1e1-7036e241cb23 | https://www.jesusramos.org/crypto-domain-registrar/ |

Three experiments examined note-taking strategies and their relation to recall. In Experiment 1, participants were instructed either to take organized lecture notes or to try and transcribe the lecture, and they either took their notes by hand or typed them into a computer. Those instructed to transcribe the lecture using a computer showed the best recall on immediate tests, and the subsequent experiments focused on note-taking using computers. Experiment 2 showed that taking organized notes…
A surprising result occurred in which all subjects had similar factual and conceptual test performance, regardless of the note-taking medium, which signifies the value of receiving verbatim notes for learning factual information.
It is found that taking notes using voice leads to a higher conceptual understanding of the text when compared to typing the notes, and also triggers generative processes that result in learners taking more elaborate and comprehensive notes.
In both Experiment 1, involving lecture learning, and Experiment 2, involving text learning, an advantage was found for the encoding-plus-storage function on tests involving factual-recall and recognition performance but not on tests measuring higher-order performance. | eng | a0d47a54-9ed2-478e-bac3-8651fb961f5c | https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Note-taking-with-computers%3A-Exploring-alternative-Bui-Myerson/0352ed76cb27ff9b0edecfcf9556bc1e19756e9e?p2df |

should I look for when buying a tankless water
Before you go out and buy a tankless water heater, there are a couple of things you need to think about first. The first is the flow rate, which refers to the amount of water used by a fixture or appliance and is measured in gallons per minute (GPM). The second is the temperature rise, which is the difference between the temperature of the groundwater and the temperature you want the hot water output to be. heater?
2️⃣ What brand of tankless gas water heater is the most
Overall, the Rinnai Sensei Super is the tankless water heater that is the most dependable, safest, and most cost-effective option. The initial cost is fairly high, but this is an investment for the long term, and the true cost comes from the utilization of natural gas, which is significantly decreased as a direct result of the Rinnai Sensei Super's exceptionally high energy efficiency.
3️⃣ Is higher Btu better for tankless water heater? reliable?
In order for your tankless water heater to keep up with the demands of your home's high hot water use, it will need a greater flow rate, measured in GPM. As a direct consequence of this, the BTU output of your tankless water heater will need to be increased.
4️⃣ What happens if you oversize a tankless water heater?
When it comes to tankless water heaters, the size of the unit is an important consideration. If you install a unit that is too small for the amount of hot water that is required, you will not have enough to fulfill the demand. On the other hand, a large unit will cost more to acquire and maintain than is required, which would eliminate one of the most significant advantages of tankless water heaters, which is energy efficiency!
56️⃣ How big of a water heater do I need for a 3 bedroom
water heater sizes For instance, a household with three to four people should look into purchasing a water heater that has a capacity of fifty to sixty gallons. On the other hand, a family home consisting of five to seven people could need a water heater that has a storage capacity of sixty to eighty gallons of water. house?
7️⃣ How many tankless water heaters do I need for my house?
The majority of the time, a single tankless heater is sufficient to heat a whole home. However, if you have a truly large house with two or more bathrooms, even the largest Rinnai gas tankless water heater, which has 11 GPM of capacity, will not be sufficient to meet all of the simultaneous demands for hot water in your home. The large tankless heater handles the majority of the household's need for hot water. | eng | b8928604-95e9-4116-adcf-719ec4d395b3 | https://besthomeupgrades.com/best-tankless-hot-water-heaters/ |

The Importance of Content Marketing for Small Businesses
The way that we use the internet and interact with media and technology has changed dramatically over the last ten years and has arguably changed a great deal even over the last five.
Consumers no longer respond to run-of-the-mill advertising tactics and basic websites in the same ways they used to, and increasingly seek more authentic and engaging experiences from the companies that they choose to spend their money with.
To keep pace with these evolving trends in consumer behaviour, big brands and corporations have shifted the focus of their marketing strategies towards richer, more immersive experiences, using techniques like "content marketing" to boost their online presence, raise product awareness and ultimately boost their sales.
So where does that leave the small business owner looking to improve their online presence and gain a foothold in local markets? Can small companies and even sole traders benefit from the same marketing strategies as those big-brand players?
In this article, we're going to explore the definition of "content marketing", explain its benefits, and hopefully persuade you, the small business owner, to embrace content creation as an effective tool for making more sales.
And not just online, but out there in the real world too!
So What Exactly is Content Marketing?
Before we list some of the ways that content marketing can help your business to make more sales and improve your online presence, it's probably helpful to explain what we're talking about when we use the phrase "content marketing".
Put simply, content marketing can be defined as:
"A marketing technique that involves creating and distributing various forms of media (content) that your target customers find appealing and engaging, in order to provoke a positive reaction"
Breaking that definition down a little further, content marketing can help small businesses:
Build trust with potential customers by demonstrating knowledge and authority.
Create a loyal "tribe" of followers and fans, by solving problems and answering industry specific questions.
Boost search engine rankings by distributing written content that Google perceives as relevant to your niche.
Does Content Marketing Work For Small Businesses?
In a word, yes!
No matter what industry you're part of, or whether you sell products online or offer "real" services in the offline world, content marketing can help your business make more sales, boost your online presence and in general, make the phone ring more often!
Need more convincing? Let's explore four specific ways that content marketing can help small business owners to thrive:
Content Marketing Can Help Small Businesses:
Create a Sense of Trust and Authority
Imagine you're searching online for a local tradesperson. You've checked out a couple of websites:
Website A): Feels a little "thin". Sure, there's a contact number and an "about" page, but other than that, not much else is going on. It doesn't look like the owner has updated the site in a while.
Website B): Has a ton of relevant content that goes into great depth about the problem you're facing. There are lengthy "How To" style articles, case studies and more, and on top of that, you can easily find the person's social media accounts, where they regularly answer questions and give helpful tips to DIY enthusiasts.
Which of the two business owners is more likely to get your hard-earned cash?
Exactly.
Good content marketing makes a local business look more "alive" online, creating a sense of personality, authenticity and trust.
Generate Fresh Leads and Increase Sales
Many small businesses object to content marketing on the basis that it takes a long time to create, and is slow to yield results.
That's partially true, but think of it another way:
If you have a wealth of long-form, informative content on your website, you've effectively built a very robust, long-term marketing strategy that should not only stay relevant for a good amount of time, but will also act as something of a map, or in industry-speak, a "Funnel" that you can use to direct your audience down different pathways, with the aim of invoking a "Call to Action", in the form of a phone call or email, that will hopefully generate a strong lead that's ready to spend money.
A content marketing campaign effectively becomes the "engine" of your online business, with readers (traffic) acting as the fuel.
Improve SEO to Boost Google Rankings
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) definitely works. However, these days, it's a lot more involved than simply filling your website full of keywords and hoping Google will notice.
Modern search engine algorithms are extremely sophisticated, and can easily differentiate useful, relevant websites from the competition. The more relevant, long-form content that your small business puts out, the easier it will rank in Google over the competition.
Enhance Social Media Presence and Digital Marketing Strategy
With good content on your website, it's possible to create something of a feedback loop: When you share your writing and videos across social media, you'll gain greater traction than simply commenting on other people's posts, and you'll eventually find that you're receiving traffic without having directly shared anything at all, such is the power of your content going viral, even if that's only at a micro, local level.
Content Marketing Can Help Small Businesses Succeed Online
Content marketing isn't a one-size-fits-all strategy. There are numerous ways to go about online marketing, depending upon your target audience and business type. However, if you can keep an audience loyal, and get them hooked on your content, you'll gain instant authority and trust, increase your overall brand awareness and in the process, generate more leads and sales.
Surely that's something that every small business owner dreams of achieving? | eng | 4efe5159-ab76-4fdb-b902-02805879b3e2 | https://www.fetch.lv/post/the-importance-of-content-marketing-for-small-businesses |

Introduction
In the scorching summer, the generally asked question is what is the temperature? So, what do we basically understand by temperature? Well, the answers to your question lie ahead.
Temperature is the degree (or intensity ) of heat present in a substance. Temperature is one of the most commonly measured parameters in the world, whether it is from Microwave or fridges, or AC. Now, to measure the temperature we will use a LM-35 temperature sensor.
LM-35 sensor is a thermocouple that gathers the temperature from the surrounding. The output voltage of the sensor is linearly proportional to its output temperature(in °C). It is a three pin temperature sensor that measures the temperature in the range of -40 °C to +120 °C. The output voltage of the sensor increase by 10 mV/°C.
How does the LM-35 sensor work?
The LM-35 sensor gives a voltage in the range of 0 to +1V. Each step in the analog reading is equal to 1.0742 mV. If 10mV is equal to 1 degree Celcius, 10 / 1.0742 = 9.31. So, for every change of 9.31 in the analog reading, there is one degree of temperature change. Hence the factor or the conversion of the output signal becomes
celsius = (analogRead(tempPin) / 9.31)
Interfacing LM-35 sensor with evive
Circuit Diagram:
Follow the steps below to connect the LM-35 sensor with evive:
Take an LM-35 sensor and 3 male-to-male jumper wires. Insert the temperature sensor in the breadboard as shown in the figure. Insert the three male ends of the jumper wires on the breadboard in front of the three pins of the temperature sensor.
Connect the middle pin (yellow jumper wire) to the analog output A0 as shown in the circuit diagram.
Take another male-to-male jumper wire(red jumper wire) and connect the first pin of the temperature sensor. This pin goes to 5V of the evive board.
At last, connect the last pin of the sensor to the GND button on the evive. The setup is ready.
Arduino Code:
The following Arduino code displays the data read by the sensor on the evive TFT screen.
Output
The Arduino setup is shown below.
Note: While making the connections with the LM-35 sensor make sure the pins are properly inserted in the breadboard. Sometimes the temperature sensor will show abnormal values. It may be due to irregularities in the jumper wires.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the LM-35 temperature sensor is a three pin sensor that is used to measure temperature in the range of -40°C to +120°C with an accuracy of +-0.5°C. The output of the sensor is linearly proportional to its output temperature in °C and increases 10mV/°C. This sensor can be easily interfaced with an evive board using the Arduino code provided. The data read by the sensor is displayed on the evive TFT screen in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. | eng | 1e2211e5-1fb0-4122-a7f6-1e46907d6913 | https://ai.thestempedia.com/docs/evive/evive-arduino-ide-tutorials/interface-temperature-sensorlm35-with-evive/ |

•Five studies were identified, 2 of them coming from the same institution.
•There is a lack of clear evidence on either the benefits or the risks of the DPE technique.
Introduction
Dural puncture epidural analgesia (DPE) is a modification of conventional epidural analgesia that involves the intentional puncture of the dura with a spinal needle through the needle placed in the epidural space, without a medication being injected intrathecally. There have been contradictory findings regarding better analgesia and a better block quality.
Methods
A systematic literature search was done to identify randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing DPE with epidural analgesia. The risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane tool. Risk ratio and 95% confidence intervals were calculated.
Results
Five RCTs including 581 patients were identified, five reporting on labor analgesia and one on caesarean section. Single studies suggested slightly better analgesia by finding a median time to achieve sufficient analgesia of two minutes less in the DPE group, a higher number of women having a pain score <10/100 at 20 min, a reduction in the number of epidural top-ups and better sacral spread. The studies did not show a difference between DPE and epidural analgesia for catheter replacement or manipulation rates, the incidence of intravascular placement or unilateral block.
Conclusion
There is a lack of clear evidence on either the benefits or the risks of the DPE technique, such that a recommendation for or against its routine use is premature. Two of the three studies showing a beneficial effect of DPE came from the same institution and replication of the findings by other groups is warranted | eng | d9b233f9-f079-480b-b29f-bb0a4a37b0de | https://anesthesiaexperts.com/uncategorized/dural-puncture-epidural-conventional-epidural-block-labor-analgesia-systematic-review-randomized-controlled-trials/ |
Do Pilots Get Drug Tested? (All Types of Pilots Covered)
Have you ever wondered if pilots have to pass a drug test before being able to fly?
This is a common question for many reasons. The biggest being that people want to know that the person flying the plan they are on isn't under the influence of any drugs that would prevent them from safely flying the airplane.
After all, the safety of everyone on an airplane is in the hands of the pilot.
Others might just be curious if pilot's get drug tested since more and more jobs these days are passing on doing drug tests. So, let's take a detailed look at this question.
Do pilots get drug tested?
Yes, pilots must pass a drug test in order to work as an airline pilot.
In this article we will look at some of the specifics regarding pilots and drug tests.
When most people think of pilots, they think of airline pilots. While a majority of this article is about airline pilots, there are several other types of pilots as well. In this article we'll also cover some of these other types of pilots including private pilots, recreational pilots, and sport pilots.
Let's start with some of the details around airline pilots.
Why Are Airline Pilots Drug Tested?
Being a pilot is one of the most safety sensitive jobs in the world. Every time a pilot (and co-pilot) take off, they are taking responsibility for the safety of all the passengers and crew on that aircraft.
Making what seems like a small error can easily lead to an unsafe situation for everyone onboard the aircraft.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and all of the airlines prioritize safety above everything else. Making sure that pilots are able to perform their job duties while not under the influence of any drugs plays a key role in safety precautions and is something that is taken very seriously.
When are Airline Pilots Drug Tested?
There are several situations that lead to a pilot having to take and pass a drug test. The FAA has strict requirements on when a pilot needs to be tested. Here is a list of the times and scenarios that can lead to a pilot getting drug tested:
During the hiring process: The FAA requires that airline pilots take and pass a drug test as part of the hiring process. Prospective pilots must pass this test before being able to start work as a pilot.
Random drug testing: The FAA also has a policy that allows for pilots to undergo random drug tests as long as they are working as a pilot. The FAA even has specific guidelines as to how many pilots are tested and how often in order to ensure that enough pilots are tested.
Reasonable cause: Airlines can also require a pilot take a drug test if there is any reasonable cause. Reasonable cause can include various things like a supervisor being suspicious that you are under the influence, you demeanor, your attitude, or someone reporting that they have reason to believe you are under the influence.
After an accident: If a pilot is involved in an accident the FAA and/or the airline that employs them can require them to take a drug test. This is done to find out if the pilot was on any substance that could have played a part in the accident.
Returning to duty: In the event that a pilot was removed from active duty due to a positive drug test, they would also have to take (and pass) a drug test before being able to fly upon their return. For obvious reasons, the FAA wants to verify that a pilot with a previous history of drug use is now completely drug free before allowing them to fly again.
Follow up drug test: These are similar to the drug tests issued when you return to duty. Assuming you pass that drug test, you'll also have to take follow up drug tests to ensure you are maintaining your drug free status. The FAA requires that a pilot returning to work after a positive drug test take (and pass) 6 more random drug tests in the next 12 months.
What if a Pilot Fails a Drug Test?
Let's take a closer look at what happens in the event a pilot fails a drug test.
If a pilot fails a drug test they are immediately removed from active duty and are not allowed to fly. This is to ensure that the pilot isn't allowed to put his life or the lives of passengers and crew members at risk as they work through the next steps in the process.
Once a pilot fails a drug test, the airline they work for notifies the FAA as to what happened.
At this point the FAA will investigate the situation and determine what they want to do next. In some cases the FAA will want to further investigate and look into why the pilot was on the drug they tested positive for (the case of a prescription mishap, etc.) and in other cases they may issue an emergency order to revoke the pilots license/certifications.
At this point the pilot is no longer able to fly.
Is a pilot fired if they fail a drug test?
Not necessarily. Some airlines will allow a pilot to undergo substance abuse counseling. This gives the pilot the chance to work toward rehabilitations and someday earning back their pilots license.
As mentioned above, the FAA does have a program in place to drug test returning pilots when they are ready to return as well as on a more consistent basis for the first year they are back in the role.
What if a Pilot Refuses to Take a Drug Test?
Refusing to take a drug test can have serious implications for a pilot. After all, if you could just refuse to take a drug test then almost nobody would ever fail since you could just decline if you knew you were on drugs. This would not create a safe situation for anyone involved.
Instead, there are clearly stated punishments by both the FAA and by the airlines for a pilot if they refuse to take a drug test.
Here is a list of those punishments:
The airline can ground, suspend, or terminate your employment based on their own internal policies
The FAA can suspend your license immediately
The FAA will also suspend any applications or renewals for your pilots license as well as any endorsements
To summarize, you probably won't be flying any time soon if you decide to refuse taking a drug test.
What Drugs are they Tested For?
The DOT and FAA have a list of substances that they test for when administering a drug test to a pilot. Here is a list of substances they test for:
Alcohol
Marijuana
Opiates
PCP
Cocaine
Amphetamines
Any of the above substances being discovered in your drug test will make you fail the drug test.
Do Private Pilots Get Drug Tested?
The rules around drug testing for private pilots is different since it's seen as being a certificate meant for hobbyists instead of professional pilots.
Private pilots are not subject to passing a drug test in order to earn their private pilot license. They are also not subject to FAA random testing.
The one scenario where a private pilot could be drug tested is in the case of an accident. The FAA investigates all aviation accidents in order to determine a cause and use that information to prevent future aviation accidents.
If you are flying as a private pilot and have some kind of accident the FAA may have you take a drug test so they can determine if drugs or alcohol played a role in the accident.
Do Recreational Pilots Get Drug Tested?
The recreational pilot license allows for a pilot to fly under very strict guidelines and does not allow them to have paid passengers or charge for their flights. It is aimed at hobbyists flying very small planes. Compared to other licenses, the recreational pilot license has much less stringent requirements all around since the goal is to allow more people to get into flying.
Due to these factors, you are not requires to take a drug test to earn your recreational pilots license.
Do Sport Pilots Get Drug Tested?
No, you do not have to take a drug test in order to earn your sport pilot license.
Much like the recreational pilot license, the sport pilot license has less requirements than some other pilot licenses due to it's limited use for hobbyists.
Keep in mind that the FAA always reserves the right to drug test ANY pilot in the event of an aviation accident as part of their investigation.
Conclusion
Pilots take on a lot of responsibility when they fly. The safety of the crew and passengers on their aircraft is dependent on the pilots ability to perform their duties. None of us would want to get on an aircraft being flown by a pilot that is currently under the influence of drugs and nobody should have to. The FAA and the airlines take this very seriously and each have their own guidelines set up to make sure pilots are sober and not under the influence.
A key factor in making sure that pilots can perform their job functions safely is making sure they can pass a drug test.

Climate researchers have found that the Greenland ice sheet's melting might be reversible, even after exceeding critical global warming thresholds. Through simulations, scientists demonstrated that if the tipping point is briefly surpassed, extensive countermeasures can restore the ice sheet. This discovery emphasizes the importance of immediate and significant climate action to mitigate the impacts of global warming.
Recent studies reveal that the Greenland ice sheet could recover from melting, even after surpassing critical global warming levels, with prompt and extensive climate action.
Climate researchers around the world are sounding the alarm about exceeding critical temperature values on the Earth. If temperatures pass what are called tipping points, the results could be catastrophic. An international team of researchers, including members from the Technical University of Munich (TUM), has now demonstrated in simulations that the temperature tipping point for the Greenland ice sheet can be exceeded in certain cases for a short time, as long as extreme countermeasures are taken afterward. If the ice mass should melt entirely, the result would be a massive rise in the sea level.
The Threat to Greenland's Ice Sheet
Greenland is the second largest permanently ice-covered surface on the Earth; only Antarctica is larger. The Greenland ice sheet is drastically impacted by the effects of climate change.
If the ice sheet melts completely it would cause a sea level rise of more than seven meters (23 feet) – a catastrophe for coastal regions worldwide and for the people who live there. The critical threshold for the worst-case scenario is between 1.7 and 2.3 (3.1 and 4.1 degrees FahrenheitThe Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale, named after the German physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit and based on one he proposed in 1724. In the Fahrenheit temperature scale, the freezing point of water freezes is 32 °F and water boils at 212 °F, a 180 °F separation, as defined at sea level and standard atmospheric pressure. " data-gt-translate-attributes="[{"attribute":"data-cmtooltip", "format":"html"}]">Fahrenheit) of global warming above the preindustrial level on an annual average.
Until now climate research has assumed that if this point is exceeded, the Greenland ice sheet would be lost forever. However, the international research team has now been able to show in a large set of simulations that there would be a way back after passing the tipping point.
Greenland binds enormous amounts of water with its ice sheet. If it melts, sea levels will rise worldwide.
Irreversible Damage to the Ice Sheet Is Avoidable
Niklas Boers is Professor of Earth System Modelling at TUM and member of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). Together with scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Tromsø and the Complutense University of Madrid, he has succeeded in proving that the tipping point for the Greenland ice sheet can temporarily be exceeded without irreversible damage.
"Our simulations have shown us that it is possible to stop the melting of Greenland's ice sheet in spite of failure to meet climate goals and to even reverse the process. Here the important thing is that if the tipping point is exceeded, massive countermeasures would be necessary and the Earth would have to be cooled down to below the critical values," says Prof. Niklas Boers.
A Warning Against Complacency
However, the new findings do not mean that society can be satisfied with its climate protection achievements to date. Instead, the findings are to be seen much more as a second chance and an outlook for the future. In the simulation, the researchers used two different ice sheet models.
A large number of scenarios were run, with global warming between 1.5 and 6.5 degrees Celsius until 2100 and a subsequent cooling phase of between 100 to 10,000 years.
"Using super-computers we were able to calculate this enormous number of scenarios reaching 100,000 years into the future so that we could be completely certain that the Greenland ice sheet is in balance. However, in both ice sheet models we were able to show that the ice sheet can recover, as long as the critical temperature threshold value is only exceeded for a limited period of time of several centuries," says Nils Bochow, scientist at UiT and also member of PIK.
The Path to Recovery: Urgent and Extensive Measures
The prerequisite for recovery of the ice sheet is the prompt correction of the temperature on the Earth in a time frame of about 500 years, depending on how far the maximum temperatures rise above the critical values. The speed, drastic nature, effort, and expense of the countermeasures necessary for cooling the Earth will increase with the time the tipping point is exceeded and the increase in temperature during that time. Drastic measures include massive reduction in atmospheric CO2 concentrations on the entire planet and thereby reducing global temperatures, using technologies like wide-scale re- and aforestation and carbon capture and storage.
The scientists' calculations indicate that countermeasures will not have to be as extreme if global warming only slightly exceeds the targets defined in the Paris Climate Accord. The new findings are thus a sign of hope in the search for a way to stop climate change before our last chance is gone. | eng | 8cdcad4d-69d2-442d-97c9-5c21037f854b | https://www.focustechnica.com/saving-greenlands-ice-sheet-avoiding-catastrophe-even-beyond-critical-tipping-points/ |
Album Review: Slipknot – The End, So Far
What do you get when you mix chaos, twists, turns, aggression, melody and some slight tastes of uniformity, you get GRAMMY Award-winning Iowan icons SLIPKNOT, who have released their widely anticipated new album, THE END, SO FAR, their final on Roadrunner Records.
Prior to release the band teased the tracks "The Chapeltown Rag", "The Dying Song" (Time To Sing), and "Yen" which only gave a snippet to the complexity and depth on the album, The album was produced by the band and Joe Barresi and marks some of the darkest vibes of any Slipknot album to date.
The contrasts on this album are what set it apart. The cinematic epic album openers and closers in "Adderall" and "Finale" opens the listener up to moods and feelings they may not have experienced in a long time, if at all. "Adderall" simple drum patter, allowing Corey Taylor's melodies to weave in and out seamlessly. The drums on this song was actually played by Clown,. as Jay Weinberg shares in our chat HERE
"The Dying Song" as the first heavy song really hits you after "Adderall". Easy to see why this was a choice for a single. "Hivemind" being number five somehow satisfies my OCD, and the song is just epic. The buzzing at the start really sets up the song in the most unexpected way
"Medicine For The Dead" is one of my favorites. The lyrics are raw and angry and its stoner sludgey rock vibes are a change of pace where as "H377" (or HELL) is the song of the album for me. Corey's quick lyrics filled with so much meaning and the tone in his delivery stays with you.
Not to say the songs we have not mentioned are bad songs, because they aren't. I do not think there is a bad song on the album, but you cannot always put things into words and some things are best discovered and not described.
From start to finish this album takes you on dramatic highs and punishing lows. The lyrics seem to tell a story of the ever changing world we are in, and how we are all coping, or not coping, in our new normal. This is all wrapped up in the aggressive passionate rollercoaster that Slipknot is. Don't go into this one without a seatbelt as it's a hell of a ride. | eng | 7b9e6c89-a70a-4bcf-ac59-4ef95ba684b8 | https://hear2zen.com/2022/09/29/album-review-slipknot-the-end-so-far/ |

FAQ
Granite is igneous rock formed from the slow crystallization of magma below the Earth's surface. It is composed mainly of quartz and feldspar with minor amounts of mica. It ranks 6 on the Mohs hardness scale for minerals.
Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock composed of re-crystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite and dolomite. Because the main composition of marble is calcium carbonate (CaCO3), it is much softer than granite. It ranks 4 on the Mohs scale.
Quartz is a mineral that exists naturally in clusters. It does not form huge blocks like granite, marble or other types of natural stone. This means that it needs to be converted into another form, such as engineered quartz stone, to make it usable in such applications.
The manufacturing process begins with the selection of raw quartz materials. These are crushed and blended into the proper ratio of quartz, polyester resin and other additives. Because of its composition, quartz is generally harder than granite.
The mixture is compacted into slabs by a vacuum and vibration process at extremely high pressure. This process minimizes porosity and reduces water absorption. The slabs are then cured in a kiln at a temperature of 85⁰C for 30 minutes to attain the essential properties of resistance to staining and impact. The curing process may be accelerated by using ovens or steam. When curing is complete, the slabs are gauged, calibrated, polished and prepared for packing. | eng | 55669b03-1a97-4f52-b14a-66a9fcf87a1c | https://www.maxspacestoneworks.com/faq/ |

Description
Digital technology has transformed the way in which we socialise and do business. Proving the maxim that crime follows opportunity, virtually every advance has been accompanied by a corresponding niche to be exploited for criminal purposes; so-called 'cybercrimes'. Whether it be fraud, child pornography, stalking, criminal copyright infringement or attacks on computers themselves, criminals will find ways to exploit new technology. The challenge for all countries is to ensure their criminal laws keep pace. The challenge is a global one, and much can be learned from the experience of other jurisdictions. Focusing on Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA, this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the legal principles that apply to the prosecution of cybercrimes. This new edition has been fully revised to take into account changes in online offending, as well as new case law and legislation in this rapidly developing area of the | eng | bae8f092-950c-499a-9672-43179489cffb | https://easternbookcorporation.com/principles-of-cybercrime-2nd-ed/ |
Common Abbreviations in Massage Therapy – A Complete List
Abbreviations and acronyms are commonly used in all fields within the healthcare industry including massage therapy. Individual professions such as massage therapists, nurses, physicians, dentists and physical therapists tend to have their own set of abbreviations that they use most often. There are other abbreviations such as DOB, Dx, Hx, and SOAP that are consistently used across all health and wellness professions. It can be confusing, especially for new therapists, to remember the correct way to abbreviate commonly used terms when documenting or when reading another practitioner's notes.
What are abbreviations? Abbreviations are a shortened form of commonly used words, terms or phrases. Abbreviations have been used in the medical field ever since the first medical texts, prescriptions and notes were written. This form of shorthand speeds up the written communication process, and may also involve the use of symbols.
This post was created as a guide to abbreviations for massage therapists. In this reference article, you'll find a list of 200 of the most common abbreviations that massage therapists encounter in the course of performing their job, and may use when charting their client treatments.
Why use abbreviations when charting?
Most healthcare providers including massage therapists use abbreviations when charting their treatment notes. There are three main reasons why massage therapists and other healthcare providers use abbreviations:
To save time. Documentation can be a time-consuming task for massage therapists, and abbreviating terms can save time. Of the three reasons, this is the probably the most common.
To save space. Using abbreviations when charting can also save space on your massage forms. Limited space is less of an issue when electronic documentation systems are used.
To avoid spelling. Many massage terms that therapists need to document are long and can be difficult to spell, especially anatomy terms. For example, instead of writing sternocleidomastoid, acromioclavicular, or interphalangeal, the therapist may choose to write SCM, AC or IP. These abbreviations can also make your charting more concise and less awkward.
What's the difference between an abbreviation and an acronym?
An abbreviation, as defined above, is a shortened or contracted word or phrase. Acronyms are a specific type of abbreviation. An acronym is formed by using the first letter of each word in a multi-word term to create a new and pronounceable term. Examples of acronyms include ROM (range of motion), SITS muscles of the shoulder (supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis), SOAP note (Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Plan), SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound), and AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).
An initialism is a specific type of acronym. It is formed the same way by using the first letters of each word, but the newly formed term is not pronounced as a word. Instead, the letters are just read out. Examples of initialisms related to massage include AMTA (American Massage Therapy Association), FSMTB (Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards), FAQ (frequently asked questions), and NCBTMB (National Certification Board of Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork). Some terms such as MBLEx (Massage and Bodywork Licensing Exam) could be considered an acronym or initialism.
Another special type of abbreviation is a mnemonic, which is used as a memorization technique. These are often used by students studying anatomy and physiology, and are not intended to be used in clinical documentation.
General abbreviations. These include standard abbreviations used across most healthcare settings, or even in other industries. Some of these include: R (right), Min (minimum), Max (maximum), > (greater than), (+) (positive), and MVA (motor vehicle accident).
Medical abbreviations. This type of abbreviation is used throughout most medical offices. These include abbreviations for diagnoses, vital signs, tests, conditions, injuries, common pathologies, procedures and medications. As with all types of abbreviations, it is important to use only standard abbreviations that cannot be misinterpreted. Examples of standardized abbreviations are BP (blood pressure), HTN (hypertension), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), ACL (anterior cruciate ligament), LBP (low back pain), DVT (deep vein thrombosis), OA (osteoarthritis), and NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).
Professional titles. Massage therapists may use abbreviations for the titles, licensure or certifications of healthcare professionals that they communicate with. Therapists may encounter these abbreviated titles in referrals from various physicians, or in client intake documentation. Examples of these include: LMT (Licensed Massage Therapist), DO (Doctor of Osteopathy), MD (Doctor of Medicine), DC (Doctor of Chiropractic), PT (Physical Therapist), and NP (Naturopathic Physician).
Problems with Abbreviations
There are a few pitfalls to watch out for when using abbreviations and acronyms in your documentation. The main potential problem is that abbreviations can be misinterpreted. One term can have multiple ways that it can be abbreviated. Another problem is that one abbreviation could stand for multiple things. Here are a few examples:
Fortunately for massage therapists, the consequences of misinterpreting an abbreviation are typically less severe than for other healthcare providers, such as for pharmacists or surgeons. It's also important to be aware that different groups have different abbreviations. Fx may mean "friction" for a massage therapist, but Fx means "fracture" to most other healthcare providers.
It's best to use standardized abbreviations and avoid making up your own abbreviations unless you are the only person who will be reading your massage documentation. Consistency is key. If you're not sure what the abbreviation is, it's best to go ahead and write it out. "When in doubt, spell it out."
Massage therapists can also run into problems when using electronic documentation if their computer system does not have a definition for the abbreviation. Or if it assumes a different definition entirely. This could result in some auto-correct errors.
*Tip: Always assume that your clients do not know medical or massage abbreviations. So if you send your client home with some instructions such as some home exercises or how to perform a certain self-care modality, avoid using abbreviations or jargon that they may not understand.
Recommended Massage Abbreviations and Symbols
The following table presents a list of abbreviations that massage therapists commonly use in their documentation. The abbreviations below are fairly standard, but your massage office may have a specific list of abbreviations that they want all clinicians to use in order to be more consistent, especially if you work at a medical or rehab clinic. The important thing is to be clear and be consistent. | eng | d9bc482e-9fd5-4c18-859f-81e777b7dd8f | https://mblexguide.com/massage-therapy-abbreviations/ |
8 Ball Tattoo Meaning
Miffa, the inveterate gambler and Eight Ball lover.
if you were born in the centre of Hong Kong, an area that combines the tallest and most modern skyscrapers in the world, full of employees of corporations that move much of Southeast Asia's money, with dark alleyways that are dark until the night comes and are filled with other types of fauna, no doubt your genes bring you closer to the vice of the night.
And our lovely bunny is an inveterate gambler who despises casinos because what she likes are the improvised street games in restaurants, in the alley or even in parks, where you play Mahjong, dice, cards or whatever…
Ever since she saw a room full of workers in a hotel in the mountains who had finished their day huddled around a cardboard table, smoking in their T-shirts while playing cards, gambling has been her passion.
China gamblers
Now, the Black Eight Ball and its allure
The black eight ball holds significant symbolism in popular culture, particularly in the context of the game of pool, also known as billiards.
The black eight ball is the final ball to be pocketed in the game, and its presence carries various meanings and associations. Here are some interpretations of the black eight ball in popular culture:
8 ball, completion and Victory
In the game , pocketing the black eight ball successfully marks the completion of the game and signifies victory. As such, the black eight ball is often associated with achievement, success, and the attainment of a goal. It represents the culmination of efforts and the satisfaction of emerging as the winner.
May be good for a cheap self-help book but not a significance we are happy with .
Decision-Making and Uncertainty, when you phuck*d it up
The black eight ball is sometimes used as a metaphor for decision-making and the uncertainties of life. Just as players carefully strategize and plan their shots to pocket the black eight ball, individuals face choices and challenges that require careful consideration and assessment of potential outcomes.
The black eight ball can represent the moment of decision, highlighting the importance of making wise choices in navigating life's uncertainties.
Clearly that's is what happens to us everytime we play billiards, and the significance who is associated with Chance and gamble
As the last ball to be sunk in the game of pool, it can represent both success and failure. If you are looking for an image or symbol to represent your love of gambling or your hope for good luck, then this is perfect for you.
Mystique and Symbolism of the Eight Ball
The black eight ball holds a sense of mystique and symbolism, often depicted as a mysterious object. Its dark color and distinctive design make it visually striking, leading to its portrayal in various artistic forms. It can represent enigma, intrigue, and the allure of the unknown.
The last is more gambling, actually the fine frontier between win and loss.
Rebellion and Counterculture, pool halls and lazy bastards.
In some subcultures or artistic expressions, the black eight ball is associated with rebellion and counterculture. It can symbolize a rejection of mainstream norms and an embrace of alternative perspectives. This association with rebellion may stem from its connection to the game of pool, which has often been associated with underground or anti-establishment movements.
Cinema has often portrayed billiards and pool with people inside dark spaces with no windows, spotlight on tables that illuminate only the balls inside a cloud of smoke coming from cigarettes, low budget clothed "femme fatale" and bad guys prone to solve differences with their fist or knives.
From a more elaborated posh narrative those establishments have fostered a sense of camaraderie among players, creating a subculture that may challenge mainstream norms and values. The black eight ball, as the pivotal object in the game played in these pool halls, symbolizes the rebellion against conventional pastimes and recreational activities.
Well, probably everything except smoke (in the past) and lazy guys / girls who were suppose to be working or at school is true but still not very useful if you are no inside the jail and want to leave a message to others about you pool and knife fighting skills.
Luck and Chance, win and loss, life and death.
As we have noted earlier, the black eight ball is associated with luck and chance, pocketing the black eight ball before all others balls leads to an automatic loss.
This aspect of the game creates an element of unpredictability and reliance on luck. As a result, the black eight ball can represent the notion of taking risks, embracing opportunities, and acknowledging the role that chance plays in life.
Mostly like throwing a coin or the verge of the knife, there's no gray, either you win or loss, survive or die.
The number eight, a lucky number
The number eight is consideredto be a lucky number in many culturesaround the world. It's the Luckiest Number in China because '8' is associated with wealth. 'Eight' (八) in Chinese is pronounced ba and sounds similar to fa (发, traditional character: 發) as in facai (发财), meaning 'well-off' or 'becoming rich in a short time'.
Now, ask why Miffa is so obsessed with the Eight Balls and wants to tattoo one ball surrounded by flames…
Those flames represent the passion and excitement that comes with taking risks and pursuing your dreams. My tattoo of a flaming eight ball will show that I am someone who isn't afraid to break the rules and forge my own path in life.
Miffa Chan after losing some $ on the street
Looking for 8 Ball flaming Tattoos ideas
Well, I agree about breaking the rules and really eager to evidence myself the moment you forfe your own path, dear.
But I must admit that a flaming eight ball tattoo it looks cool. And it's hard to disagree with | eng | 926a30a5-4247-4cc3-814b-c9196f93437d | https://miffa.cloud/8-ball-tattoo-meaning/ |

Extraordinary People - Maria Rabaino
I have known Maria's family for many years, and when tragedy struck, I was amazed at how she was able to transform something that for most people would be one of the worst things that could possibly happen into something truly amazing and inspiring!
Maria Rabaino
1. Tell me a little bit about your childhood and where you grew up. How would you describe your family and your town?
I grew up in a small town named Orangevale (for those who don't know that's in the Sacramento area). My family was very involved with our community by volunteering in any sport my siblings or I were a part of, which was why I was close with my family and the community growing up.
2. What kinds of things were you involved in as a teenager (sports, etc)?
I was a cheerleader from 4th grade until my sophomore year! I also was in my high school's drama club and was "most spirited" in my class!
Maria as a cheerleader in high school
3. You were involved in a horrible accident that changed your life in a flash. How old were you, and what happened?
I was in a car accident when I was 2 weeks away from turning 19. I just got off work and a coworker invited me to drink beer with a few of his friends. Being the only one under 21 at the time, I knew not to drive and assumed that the driver would know when to stop so we could all make it home safely. Unfortunately I was wrong... at the end of the night while driving to a friend's house, he lost control of the car while speeding in the rain. We ended up hitting two trees and spun across the street until we hit a bush. The first tree actually ripped apart the drivers side of the car, and the second tree bent our car making the spinning even worse. While the seatbelt kept me alive and from getting brain damage, it also broke my back, which severed my spinal cord at the L1 level, paralyzing me from the hips downs. The other passenger broke his leg and sternum. Unfortunately the driver did not survive the wreck.
4. What is the recovery like for something like that, and what kinds of thoughts did you have to deal with?
I was fortunate enough to not remember any of the accident. My only memory is hanging out with my coworker and his friends and then waking up in the hospital, which helped make the emotional recovery a lot easier to deal with. The physical recovery took about five months, and the first three were the hardest. Two days after the car crash I went into back surgery and had to wear a back brace anytime I was sitting up. I had to relearn how to do everything: using the restroom, taking a shower, getting dressed, how to transfer in and out of my chair, and even how to pop a wheelie (yes they actually teach wheelchair users how to do that! It's helpful in case we need to get up a curb and there is no ramp). There was a lot I couldn't do because the back brace I had to wear for the first three months limited me, so my mom had to help take care of me until I could do it, which really made it hard on our relationship for awhile, constantly being at each other's side (except when we were sleeping). When the brace came off, I was able to learn how to do certain things that had been limiting me (including how to drive), and I was so motivated to get my independence back that it didn't take me long at all.

5. How did you get involved with the wheelchair dance team that you belong to? What kinds of things does that group do?
I am on a wheelchair dance team called the Rollettes, and I have been on the team since it started 5 years ago (which is as long as I have been injured)! When I first got injured, my family and I learned about a new TV reality show called, "Push Girls", which was about 5 girls who use wheelchairs. We were so excited because just as this had happened to me, a show came out showing five girls who had been through something similar to what I had. Because of our excitement, we were looking up as much as we possibly could online. One thing led to another, and my family got a hold of one of the star's (Chelsie Hill's) dad! Her dad talked to my dad on the phone and then Chelsie (who is now my best friend) talked to me on the phone. At the time, they were both living in Monterey, which was a 3 and 1/2 hour drive to where I lived, so they drove up to meet me. After that, Chelsie told me about a dance team she was starting and asked if I wanted to join. I had only been injured for a few months, and I wanted to surround myself with as many people as possible who knew what I was going through, so I said yes! Since then, we have traveled nationwide to perform for (and sometimes speak at) disability events, schools, a T.J. Maxx commercial, and much more! | eng | ced14342-68a5-4bda-8f37-a4603d618cac | https://www.momcimorelli.com/single-post/2017/05/15/extraordinary-people-maria-rabaino |
The National Landscape Conservation System is a blend of new and old. It includes not only the 15 monuments designated by President Bill Clinton, but also some 800 protected areas that the BLM has managed for as long as 30 years. The NLCS, created by the Bureau of Land Management administration during Clinton's second term, is intended to give these lands some collective visibility — and a better shot at adequate funding from Congress. There might be a downside to that visibility, says a former agency staffer: "It just makes them easier to lop off." Some of the crown jewels of the NLCS (acreage figures do not include non-federal inholdings):
More than 14 million acres of congressionally designated National Conservation Areas; seven were created during the Clinton administration. The largest NCA, the 10.6 million-acre California Desert Conservation Area, was established in 1976.
More than 6.2 million acres of wilderness areas and 17.1 million acres of wilderness study areas, in about 750 units scattered throughout 11 Western states and Alaska.

Mindfulness instruction makes a big impact on learning
Chicago teacher Quinlan O'Grady is preparing her students for success with video lessons that promote active learning
Growing up on Chicago's South Side, a neighborhood whose history of gun violence earned it the moniker "Chiraq," can be traumatic for students. Many students come to school having witnessed violence or abuse in their lives. When they take their seats for the morning bell, learning fractions or the parts of a sentence is often the furthest thing from their minds.
These are the challenges Quinlan O'Grady faces each day as a teacher at Schmid Elementary School. And yet, her students are not only overcoming these challenges, they're thriving — thanks in no small part to the use of mindfulness videos that give them effective strategies for coping with their emotions.
In fact, O'Grady's third graders last year performed 10 points higher than the national third-grade average on NWEA's Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) benchmark exam. She attributes this success to a number of factors, one of which is her use of mindfulness content and other instructional videos from Adventure2Learning.

The Boy in Striped Pajamas by John Boyne
Today we are going to talk about The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by him. It was published in 2006 and sold over 11 million copies all over the world. This novel was adapted into a film also and both are tremendously popular. It is a historical fiction set against the backdrop of the gory holocaust.
Synopsis of The Boy in Striped Pajamas:
The story is told from the perspective of a nine years old boy Bruno. Bruno's father had to leave Berlin with his family at the command of Fury. And they went to live at Out-With (Auschwitz), a desolate, hopeless place for little Bruno. Bruno did not like the place at all. He felt depressed, irritated, and suffocated in his new house and longed to come back to Berlin. Finding nothing to keep him engaged in that new habitat Bruno started exploring the area.
There from his window one day he found a large number of Jews families, all wearing striped pajamas and matching caps. They were locked inside a tall fence that separated Bruno's world from theirs.
Being dejected and lonely in the new surroundings one day Bruno set out for the fence and made friendship with one of the Jews boys named Shmuel. Though his family was totally ignorant about his rendezvous he was very happy getting a friend.
Shmuel shares his misery with Bruno, and how his family was forced to move into this place. Bruno felt a similarity with his own life. In his childhood conception, Bruno could not understand their situation and their miseries and death threat. Samuel never disclosed the reality of their existence in real terms of it. Maybe he knew very little. But despite their polar opposite life, they became good friends.
Now when Bruno's father at the insistence of his wife decided to send the family back to Berlin the story takes a sudden catastrophic turn. Bruno being sad for his friend Shmuel wished to meet him for the last time. In his excitement to preserve the last meeting, Bruno took some audacious steps that proved fatal for him.
Bruno died at the end…holding Shmuel's hand, both in striped pajamas.
'You're my best friend, Shmuel,' he said, 'My best friend for life.'
Though the death is not explained clearly, it insinuates the merciless killing of Jews during the reign of Hitler inside the gas chamber.
"And then the room went very dark and somehow despite the chaos that followed, Bruno found that he was still holding Shmuel's hand in his own and nothing in the world would have persuaded him to let it go."
Bruno was heard no more but his left-out clothes at the side of the wire fence were found. Then one day after much pondering Bruno's father found the large gap in the fence through which a small boy could easily crawl underneath.
Major Characters:
Bruno: He was a 9-year-old German boy. He loved to read adventure books and explored exciting events.
Gretel: She was Bruno's sister. She was 12 years old. She loved to play with dolls until Lieutenant Kurt Kotler came and injected strong national fanaticism inside her.
Mrs. Wisitzki: She was Bruno's mother who did not like their shifting to Auschwitz, Poland but had agreed to accompany her husband.
Mr. Wisitzki: Bruno's father was a commanding officer within Nazi Party. He took charge of a concentration camp in Poland.
Maria: She was the maid of the Wisitzki family. She was very considerate and intelligent.
Shmuel: He was a Jewish boy whom Bruno met on the other side of the fence. He wore striped pajamas.
Lieutenant Kurt Kotler: He was a young German Soldier who was a cold-hearted cruel person. He could easily kill a god, hurt an old man like Pavel, and torture children like Shmuel.
Pavel: He was a prisoner in the Outwith whose real identity was hidden as he worked as a butler. He was kindhearted. He was a doctor previously.
The Fury: He was Adolf Hitler. Bruno described his figure and manner when he came to visit his family with his companion Eva.
Eva: She was the female companion of Fury. She was kindhearted and amiable.
There are also other characters like Grandmother and Grandfather about whom Bruno went on talking and recalling.
Viciousness wrapped in the cloak of children's story:
After finishing the book the only trauma that haunts me…How human beings can be so cruel to other human beings?
Though there is no direct reference to the holocaust, Nazi, Hitler, or Concentration Camps, the power of cruelty and inhumanity lingers in this novel through the insinuations of some characters and their activities.
As the story is spoken from the point of view of a little boy direct mention of cruelty is not found. Even when Pavel is brutally hurt by Lieutenant Kurt Kotler it was just mentioned obliquely. And here the author has shown his extreme proficiency in the respect of language restriction. But that restriction can not hide the ferocity of human instinct.
Who is the boy in the Striped Pajamas?
Shmuel was the Jewish boy in striped pajamas. All the Jews who were captured and captivated beyond the fence were wearing striped pajamas.
In the end, when Bruno went to meet Shmuel for the last time before going back to Berlin, he wore the striped Pajamas provided by Shmuel. Both are at the end the boys in striped pajamas. Bruno slid through the gap of the fence wearing the Striped Pajamas given by Shmuel and faced the same horrendous fate.
Alvina's Verdict:
After a long time, I read a book that silenced me for a long time in deep contemplation. I cannot express what I feel and what it should be… joy and sorrow… of course, there was not a dot of joy…there was deep tangible pain piercing my heart.
John Boyne's book The Boy in the Striped Pajamas is one of the best books I have ever read. And I feel I can never forget Bruno, I can never forget his friendship with Shmuel and I can never forget his death. His death will haunt me till my death.
And I want to express my hearty gratitude to Oliver Jeffers for the wonderful illustrations that he provides in the pages of the book to uplift its glory to an artistic heightPost navigation

What is Fatigue & Tiredness?
The term fatigue is used to describe a general sense of tiredness and lack of energy. Tiredness is a term that is also commonly used to describe fatigue and a lack of energy and alertness.
Fatigue alters your outlook on life, taking away your motivation and often making even simple tasks feel beyond your capabilities. Fatigue should not be confused with being sleepy or tired. Sleepiness can be a symptom of fatigue but sleepiness can be managed with a good night's sleep, whereas fatigue is not always helped by a good night's rest.
The variation in your hormone levels that happens during the menopausal transition can also cause fatigue, often as a side effect from other common perimenopausal symptoms such as insomnia. In particular, hot flashes and fatigue, and night sweats and fatigue commonly occur together. This happens because both hot flashes and night sweats can leave you poorly rested. Fatigue is closely associated with depression and anxiety, both of which are also common symptoms of the menopausal transition. [1] [2] [3]
The causes of fatigue can be grouped into three categories:
physical health conditions (including the menopausal transition);
mental health conditions (again, possibly a result of the menopausal transition); and
Fatigue is a common symptom of the menopausal transition. One study that looked at the experiences of 300 women found that fatigue affected 19.7% of women not yet in perimenopause, 46.5% of women in perimenopause, and 85.3% of women in postmenopause. [4]
Self-care & Natural Remedies for Fatigue & Tiredness
Finding a way to improve and manage your fatigue can be difficult because it is such a common symptom for many different conditions, but it is possible. As with other menopausal transition symptoms, figuring out what will work to help you is a process of elimination.
Consider trying some of the following suggestions to see if there is any change in your fatigue:
Manage your hot flashes and night sweats as best you can. Visitour section on Hot Flashes and Night Sweats to get detailed information about how to help reduce the impact of these as your interrupted sleep may be a major factor in your fatigue.
Yes, it can be hard to get motivated to get out of bed when you have fatigue, but research shows that moderate- to high-intensity exercise is associated with higher energy levels in post-menopausal women. [5] A different study found that regular exercise improves hot flashes, weight gain, mood, chronic pain, and quality of life in mid-life women.[6] Our section on Movement Therapyhas an extensive discussion on how to increase and/or improve your activity levels.
While fatigue is not the same thing as being tired, regularly experiencing poor sleep can definitely result in ongoing fatigue. Use your bedroom only for sleep and sex, keep your bedroom cool and very dark, set a routine around bedtime including a regular bedtime, and avoid alcohol, tobacco and caffeine products as these interfere with the quality of your sleep. Visit our page on Insomnia & Sleeping Difficulties for more detailed information on improving your sleep.
Research into resilience has linked fatigue and stress in mid-life women and they often co-exist. [7] Stress drives fatigue and fatigue has been found to help or hinder stress resilience. For example, fatigue can cause you to get more sleep, which can help manage stress, but fatigue can also interfere with restful sleep, making stress worse. Exercise helps manage stress, as does a meditation and/or mindfulness practice. Yoga or tai chi are also helpful to lower stress levels.
Making healthy food choices can compensate for the impacts of your menopausal transition because good nutrition helps positively influence individual symptoms that are affecting you. Focus on eating fish, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, olive oil and lean meats while limiting salt intake, sweets, processed foods, refined carbohydrates, and sugar loaded drinks. You can adjust your diet for menopause fatigue by shifting to a more plant-based diet. This can be supplemented with vitamins for menopause fatigue, including vitamin B12 and micronutrients like iron and omega-3 fatty acids. Visit our page on Nutritional Therapy for more details about how you can improve your diet to improve your menopausal transition symptoms.
These, and other alternative therapies, can improve sleep and help manage stress, both of which will help with fatigue.
Therapy & Treatments for Fatigue & Tiredness
At age 40 find a reliable, educated primary care provider familiar with recognizing and treating symptoms of perimenopause and menopause. The North American Menopause Society provides a list of menopause practitioners here.
While there are many causes for feelings of fatigue, getting high quality sleep on a regular basis will definitely help. Talk to your health care provider about treatment for your fatigue. Some of the following could be helpful:
Anti-anxiety and anti-depression medications combined with psychological counseling may be very helpful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a short-term therapy technique used to alter behaviours by changing thought patterns which has been shown to be quite effective for insomnia.
Hormone Therapy (HT) can be effective at treating hot flashes that can be the primary cause of insomnia for some women.
Physiotherapy may be able to help sleep quality if you are experiencing physical pain that affects your ability to fall or stay asleep.
The Science
The Impact of Fatigue and Exhaustion on the Body
Fatigue is a physiological state of reduced mental or physical capability that can develop from inadequate amounts of sleep or extended wakefulness or disrupted circadian rhythms.
There are three distinct types of fatigue:
Acute fatigue
Acute fatigue is caused by extended periods of wakefulness (usually more than 16 h).
Cumulative fatigue
Cumulative fatigue or 'sleep debt', is caused by periods of sleep deprivation (inadequate sleep) over the longer term, so days, weeks, or even months of short, inadequate sleep times.
Circadian fatigue,
Circadian fatigue, or chronodisruption, results from disruptions to the sleep/wake cycle that can be experienced with shift work or following travel to different time zones (trans-meridian travel) [8]
The optimum range of sleep for most individuals is seven to eight hours of sleep per night. This amount of sleep is recommended to maintain normal mental, behavioural, and physical performance. Research results show that physical performance can be improved even further by extending your daily sleep for another one and half (1.5) to two hours of sleep. This improves accuracy of movement and reaction time and also improves self-reported measures of mood, energy levels, and fatigue. [8]
Mental health is also affected by fatigue. There is an association between depressive symptoms and fatigue from chronic sleep deprivation. One study found that full-time employees reporting insufficient sleep have been shown to be 97% more likely to be depressed compared with full-time employees with satisfactory sleep times. Research also supports a link between increased anxiety levels and fatigue. Insufficient sleep (less than five hours per night) is associated with risks of both suicidal ideation (2.5 times higher) and suicide attempts (3 times higher) than non-fatigued persons. [9]
Research has also shown that there is a strong association between fatigue and metabolic health. Fatigue often results in an increased caloric food intake, and the amount of sleep time is associated with concentrations of appetite-controlling hormones circulating in your system. Essentially, being sleep deprived and fatigued results in a 55% increased risk of becoming obese. [9]
Fatigue is also hard on the cardiovascular system. Both your stress response (measured by circulating levels of cortisol) and the activation of the sympathetic nervous system (that drives your body's involuntary response to danger or stress with the 'fight, flight, or freeze' response) are increased by fatigue, resulting in increases in both heart rate and blood pressure. Studies have shown that sleeping less than five hours per night results in a 21% increase in your risk of developing hypertension. Another large study showed a significant correlation (an risk increase of 48% ) between short sleep duration, fatigue and coronary heart disease (CHD) development. [9]
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis is a serious, long-term illness that impacts many body systems. CFS interferes with a person's ability to live a normal life because of the severe fatigue and sleep issues that occur – significant enough that they may be confined to bed.
The fatigue that people experience is not the result of overactivity, and it isn't relieved by getting good sleep. Another symptom of CFS is the experience of post-exertional malaise (PEM), which is extreme fatigue after doing a physical or mental activity that would have been normal and uneventful before the diagnosis of CFS. For example, going grocery shopping is exhausting to the point of needing to nap in the car before driving home from the store. [10]
The cause of CFS is unknown. Research is looking into some viruses, such as Epstein-Barr virus and the Ross River virus, as possible causes, but not all people diagnosed with CFS are infected. It is possible that changes to the immune system or physical or emotional stress may contribute to CFS, but this isn't clear yet. More research is required. There is no cure for CFS, and treatment focuses on managing the symptoms. For example, managing PEM involves learning activity management, called pacing, in order to balance their rest and exertion and avoid flare-ups. [10]
Myths & Mysteries
False false false.
Good nutrition and balanced mineral and vitamin intake is very important to your overall health. Both supplements and moderate cleanses (such as detox or juice cleanses) can be helpful in certain conditions and when supervised by your healthcare provider. But fatigue is not just a nutritional issue. Good nutrition will support an energetic lifestyle, but good high-quality sleep on a regular basis is the key to managing fatigue.
FALSE
Sleep is not money – you can't save it or borrow it or keep some aside for a rainy day.
You can't tell if someone is fatigued There are symptoms that may indicate a worker is fatigued, such as short term memory problems, an inability to concentrate, impaired decision-making, slow reflexes and withdrawal from interpersonal communication.
NO
Long-term sleep deprivation, which would occur if you were only sleeping five or six hours a night, can have serious consequences for your physical and mental health. Most people require a minimum of seven to nine hours of sleep per night.
FALSE
Feeling fatigue is a physical experience – you can't just decide to not experience it. The best approach to fatigue is to ensure you are getting enough high quality sleep. Remember that insufficient or poor quality sleep can happen for many different reasons. Practice self-care, read the suggestions above in the self-care section or those in the Sleeping Difficulties document [link to Sleeping Difficulties] for helpful suggestions. | eng | 37fbaf05-e2e3-41fd-9090-e05d98483c5d | https://www.herstasis.com/fatigue-tiredness/ |
3 welfare initiatives to improve employee well-being
Table of contents
The concept of welfare is much more flexible and dynamic than in the past: new measures are gradually being added to existing ones to adapt to changing economic, social and cultural conditions. In general, a trend has emerged in recent years that takes the whole person into consideration (and thus not only the practical aspects related to work) and conceives of workers as subjects who inhabit and transform an increasingly complex reality.
While companies are realizing how engagement directly affects productivity, to be able to respond to the growing demands for greater social responsibility, they find themselves in the position of having to implement policies, procedures, programs, and resources that are increasingly based on internationally established ESG criteria.
We'll explore this dual aspect, starting by defining welfare in order to be able to capture the changes in our current post-pandemic world that is still evolving.
What is employee welfare?
According to the ILO (International Labor Organization), employee welfare is defined as "the services, facilities, and equipment that can be established in or near enterprises to enable the people employed by them to perform their work in a healthy and peaceful environment and to enjoy facilities that improve their health and support their morale."
Thus, a corporate welfare plan has the benefits and services that an employer implements for its employees. It may include agreements with institutions that offer different types of insurance (health, life, disability, and so on) or services such as on-site daycare, fitness centers, and meal vouchers.
The concept of welfare today increasingly tends to be all-encompassing and expands to contain all those initiatives in the corporate environment that are organized with the goal of ensuring the welfare of employees. It has two basic dimensions:
the ability to engage people in corporate culture and life (with an emphasis on the extent to which workforce engagement translates into higher or lower levels of performance);
Stress among workers around the world has again reached an all-time high. This is what the data in Gallup's State of the Global Workplace 2022 reveals, according to which worry, anger, and sadness remain above pre-pandemic levels. Although emotional health is not easily recorded by objective metrics, the organizational risks are there and they are absolutely real. Whether they are stressed because of the job or their stress transfers into the job 44% of employees seem to experience constant daily anxiety.
If companies do not pay attention to the well-being of their employees, the report says, they run the risk of being unprepared to handle burnout episodes and high dropout rates.
Even before the pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) recognized the workplace as a means of creating well-being. In Happiness at Work, Jessica Pryce-Jones shows how the culture and environment in which people do their work—whether it's a factory, an office, or remotely—is a powerful lever for promoting and sustaining "happiness," which is understood as the physical and mental health of employees.
The link between "happiness" and productivity comes through the creation of engagement
We have known for more than a decade that a "happier" workforce is a more productive workforce.
Important studies such as the one in The Correlation of a Corporate Culture of Health Assessment Score and Health Care Cost Trend published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine have shown that for every dollar saved in direct health care costs, employers receive $2.30 in benefits and productivity.
If, as Gallup states, low workforce engagement costs the global economy $7.8 trillion, the relationship between welfare and engagement is crucial in building an effective welfare system that is capable of producing concrete benefits for both employees and companies.
Companies that still focus exclusively on monetary benefits underestimate the importance that employees, especially the most qualified, attach to an engagement: a focused work environment, and above all, a stimulating and innovative workplace. To exercise effective employee retention actions (and maintain a stable and lasting relationship with their talent, avoiding excessive turnover and ensuring business continuity), companies should extend their welfare concept and make the employee experience (employee experience) an integral part of the organizational culture.
Digital transformation provides the tools to achieve this: thanks to new technologies today, companies can listen with real attention to their employees, acquire the data needed to know their physical and emotional state, preferences, and needs, and use this knowledge to improve the employee experience.
How ESG criteria are changing: more focus on employees' social rights
Corporate stakeholders (managers, directors, investors, analysts, brokers) are increasingly aware of the urgency of including environmental, social, and governance criteria in business models and long-term action plans. Employee health and welfare, however, are by far the most neglected of the social principles within the ESG framework. Indeed, until recently, welfare-related metrics within ESG reporting frameworks still tended to focus almost exclusively on incidents related to injury, sickness, and disease.
It was the pandemic that highlighted the inextricable link between health and business performance. Most employers mobilized resources to respond promptly to an extraordinary situation by implementing safety protocols to reduce risk. Such processes that were already in place but proceeding slowly have accelerated dramatically: the impact of social distancing measures on workers has been so profound that it has become impossible for the world of work to ignore concerns around the health and general welfare of employees.
According to Deloitte, there is growing evidence that ESG pillars (environmental, social, and governance) exert a direct influence on employee welfare. The problem is that the measures in the ESG framework are often insufficient to capture the value of an organization's welfare programs. In order to have a real, long-term impact, ESG model guidelines should include social requirements that can extend beyond traditional ones: updated standards for designing policies to protect diversity, increase equity and inclusion, and for developing useful practices for managing discriminatory behavior. Finally, a decisive factor in the success of actions based on ESG parameters is their communication: the ability to get clear and shared messages across both externally (social and institutional channels) and within the company (apps and collaboration platforms).
So far, we have investigated the main aspects on which a welfare plan that is able to capture the scope of the changes taking place should be structured. Now, we will look at the three best initiatives to implement in order to improve employee welfare.
Increased efficiency in benefit plan management (save time and money);
Support for compliance procedures (avoid fines or penalties by ensuring compliance with employee protection regulations);
Increased transparency (ensuring employees have access to accurate and timely information about their benefit plans).
Technology can play a key role in helping to manage and automate many of these processes, through the collection of information—structured (e.g., employee biographical records) and unstructured (interviews or comments posted on the company's digital bulletin boards).
2. Measure your welfare actions
You cannot correct or improve what you do not know. That's why it's essential to conduct regular employee surveys to understand if new critical issues have arisen or whether latent problems have become chronic.
Collecting responses alone, however, isn't enough: it's essential to focus on information that offers insights that are actually useful, so that you can identify the root causes of problems but also encouraging signs. Valid insights can be extracted from a well-designed survey, both to identify causes and effects of trends and patterns of behavior and to suggest sound and realistic strategies.
Initiatives that measure the effectiveness of corporate welfare are essential for assessing people's satisfaction with specific benefits, such as health care or retirement plans, in order to determine whether employees know all the benefits of the services offered, and to identify areas for improvement.
This includes regular risk assessments, through which companies can determine how safe and ergonomic facilities, services and equipment are.
Digital tools, such as data management platforms, play a strategic role in capturing and interpreting data related to the success of individual campaigns and actions: by integrating performance results within an overview that is accessible by different teams (management and human resources first and foremost), organizations can more easily identify potential trouble spots in policies and strategies, uncover the most innovative practices, and validate those that have already proven to work.
3. Communicate and promote your welfare actions
Welfare services that employees don't use or are unaware of are ultimately useless. Investing in how employee welfare actions are promoted and communicated is then essential: to improve the employee experience, increase employee awareness and engagement. However, traditional communication tools may not be enough: long emails may be lost in the daily mail stream or simply ignored, or the pace of work may be such that employees don't have time to use the company intranet.
This is where digital communication channels offer excellent alternatives:
Mobile communications (e.g., apps that allow staff to be reached directly on their smartphones) are proving particularly effective for Generation Z and younger workers.
Online surveys help capture the information needed to design and promote the benefits included in the welfare plan. Surveys also make employees feel part of the business decisions that affect them.
Continuing education (including e-learning). Continuing education courses steadily rank among the most popular employee benefits. An online RSVP notice reminding of the start of classes can prove extremely useful in maximizing participation involvement.
Although most large companies provide welfare programs, the mental and relational health of employees is not always given due consideration, and the broader dimension of employee well-being (social, financial, professional) continues to be underestimated. All three of the corporate welfare initiatives we have reported succeed in filling this gap because they have one thing in common: they use digital technologies to implement personalized actions, from setting goals to measuring the success of services to developing clear, comprehensive, and timely communications | eng | a9d399aa-ef17-4b55-bfb2-0d1c73bedfc6 | https://www.doxee.com/blog/digital-marketing/3-welfare-initiatives-to-improve-employee-well-being/ |
Boys don't play with dolls
When I was a little girl growing up in India, there were no Barbies. My prized possession was a sturdy doll whom I loved deeply, not just because she wore a pink dress and had pretty eyes with long lashes but also because that doll was the only toy I didn't have to share with my brothers.
Why?
Because boys didn't play with dolls.
Perhaps that's why she remained pristine for many years, hidden away in a locked cupboard, only to be taken out on special days when I could play with her without interruption. Although I had no knowledge of money or my family's financial status,I knew that my doll was special because she was expensive. All she did was close her eyes when I laid her down but I didn't expect her to do much more than that. After all, she was just a doll – not my alter ego, not a role model, and certainly not a live person.

Barbie dolls make me uneasy
By the time my daughter was born in the USA, Barbie dolls were everywhere. Yet, for some reason, I didn't buy any for my child. She didn't particularly care for the sharp contours of the doll and preferred cuddly beanie babies instead. A cousin, who felt compelled to buy 'girly' things that she couldn't buy for her son, gifted my daughter a Barbie on her birthday.
Barbie dolls made me uneasy. Was it her foreign coloring or her impossible dimensions? Something didn't sit right with me as a Gen X woman who lived in the real world.
Most Recent Stories
When I moved from India to the US as a young bride, I hoped to inhabit a world in which patriarchy had been vanquished. I expected to encounter brave women who looked and behaved differently from the women I had known in India, the ones who deliberately walked a step behind the men regardless of their education, career, or status.
In America, women were doctors, astronauts, and scientists. But to my great disappointment, I found that these women were also expected to fix dinners, do laundry, drive their kids to school and bear more than their fair share of household responsibilities.
In the workplace, I noticed that women colleagues were more stressed than their male counterparts, thanks in part to their unending responsibilities and incessant multitasking. Women bosses were not as cool as they pretended to be. They fretted over their outfits, body language, and decisions, not wanting to come across as pushy or harsh, or mushy.
A Utopia where women rule
Fast forward to 2023 – My daughters recommended the Barbie movie.
"Go watch it with a girlfriend," they advised.
And so I did.
I loved it.
A big shift occurs when you witness a plausible world that is turned upside down. Imagine a pink Utopia, Barbieland, where women rule. In this enabling environment, women make decisions and run their world which, not surprisingly, works quite well. If the Kens seem a bit put off, well it's their problem. How refreshing!

The brilliant monologue by America Ferrera towards the end of the movie perfectly echoed my thoughts. It shed light on that uneasy feeling that had accompanied me all my life and had made me uncomfortable when trying to operate with agency in a skewed world finally had a name.
Cognitive dissonance!
When women tell their stories
Yet when I left the movie theater filled with girls and women dressed in pink I wondered why men were not filling up the seats for this movie?
Were the majority of Barbie movie watchers women (while men more likely watched Oppenheimer that same week)? I don't know the numbers but I think there's a high probability that my hypothesis is correct. But why?
Is it the same reason why many men dislike books by women authors? Because women are unnaturally preoccupied with domestic matters that hold no interest for men?
In my own life, two books by British novelist Allison Pearson, I Don't Know How She Does It and How Hard Can It Be, have been faithful representations of the everyday life of contemporary women all over the world. Women who work outside the house AND inside. The ones who earn a living, feed their family, nurture their children, maintain connections with extended family, and participate in their communities.
The minutiae of women's lives
However, I know for a fact that most men would not be able to get through these books because they focus on the minutiae of women's lives, the daily drudgery that they believe is their lot while the men go about a life that has room for drinks, and time for get-togethers and games while completely ignoring the disproportionate burden it places on the women in their lives.
To be fair, most women may not be interested in sports or the stock market to the same extent as men but the difference between the two lies in the fact that while sports may appeal to a subset of the population, gender inequity impacts everyone.
If men and women are to truly understand what makes us unique and equally valuable, we must be able to first observe and acknowledge how our lives differ.
Can a man follow a woman's example?
In the workplace, women have followed the example set by men assuming that it is the only way to progress. Some have succeeded using this formula while others have given up. But men haven't tried hard enough to see the world through a woman's eyes (in the workplace and in the home), to understand how the motherhood penalty works or why constant multitasking that involves cooking, caregiving, and kinkeeping ruins both the physical and mental health of women.
As depicted in the Barbie movie, dolls don't determine what happens in real life. It's real people who determine what the doll can or cannot do. Without getting men to read the books and watch the movies that highlight the unequal playing field and different wavelengths (if not planets) on which men and women operate, social transformation will remain a bookish or onscreen Utopia | eng | 1a31d132-ef41-4be5-a9ed-5b94566d867e | https://indiacurrents.com/can-men-follow-a-womans-example/ |

Exploring the Top 7 Best Volkswagen Engines of All Time
Three broad categories can group the Volkswagen engines we are about to discuss.
The VR6 Engine: For power and elegance
This engine seamlessly combines raw power with a touch of class. It is a compact yet lethal powerplant. The VR6 engine design comes with a narrow-angle between the cylinder banks, usually around 15-30 degrees.
This angle is narrower compared to traditional V6 engines, which usually have a wider angle. This compact arrangement means the VR6 engine can fit snugly into various vehicle platforms, from compact cars to performance vehicles.
This clever layout makes it a perfect fit for cars with limited engine space. And here's the exciting part: the VR6 engine has a unique way of firing that gives it a distinct exhaust sound.
Turbocharged TSI Engines: For efficiency and speed
Volkswagen's Turbocharged Stratified Injection (TSI) engines are like the superheroes of efficiency and speed. By using a mix of direct injection and turbocharging, TSI engines offer a blend of strong power, thrilling torque, and smart fuel use.

positive impact of rap music on African American adolescents
Write about the positive impact of rap music on African American adolescents' identity development. there should be a thesis that encompasses the connection between the two ideas.
Format Intro (1/2 a page), About Area A (1 page), About Area B (1 page), About the (neg or pos) impact of Area A on Area B (3 to 4 pages), Conclusions (1/2 a page).
In your paper, you will support your ideas with published research to define, explain, and discuss the one area of development, and the one area of adolescents' lives. You will support the connection between these two areas by citing relevant scholarly research studies that you find. Many of your references should directly support your thesis. If you can't find studies that support your thesis, please adjust or change your thesis. You should also include some references that support each of your two variables separately. You need at least 10 scholarly sources. No more than 4 of the 10 may be from class readings. You do NOT need to use any form of class at all. That's up to you. At least 5 of your scholarly sources must be from within the past 5 years. "Scholarly sources" means Scholarly journal articles, academic book chapters, or dissertations. Not websites. If you would like more than 10 scholarly sources, that's fine; you may have as many as you'd like. Most of what you will cite will be scholarly journal articles, primarily "peer-reviewed" journal articles.
You may use scholarly book chapters, but please be sure it is not a book for the general public, and it is, in fact, a scholarly book. To be scholarly, a book would need to be published by a university press or similar academic publisher. The author would need to have credentials such as a Ph.D. in their field. And, most importantly, each chapter needs to have citations in APA style within the text, or many footnotes as citations, as well as a reference list or footnotes or a bibliography that lists every one of the references cited.
You do not need any "non-scholarly" sources, but if you want them, then *in addition to the 10 scholarly sources that are required*, you may add "non-scholarly" sources. "Non-scholarly" means newspapers, popular books, non-academic books, magazines, movies, television, music, and the Internet, including ALL webpages.
Information cited from a website is non-scholarly and does not count toward your 10 required sources. Do not cite our class lecture notes! Poor citations lower the quality of your paper and your grade.
Your in-text citations must be in APA format, and your reference list must be in APA format. The only aspect of your paper that should be in APA format is the citations and references. Nothing else should be in APA format. NO abstract. No APA-style running heads. Nothing else as per APA, except for the style you use for your in-text citations and references. | eng | 71989455-a555-40f5-9a09-dd9f5b8bd188 | https://assignmentwritingpro.com/positive-impact-of-rap-music/ |
What Not to Eat When Using Lady's Mantle for Effective Results?
Lady's mantle is known for its effectiveness in preventing and treating cancer and benign tumors. However, do you know what not to eat when using lady's mantle to ensure good results and avoid adverse effects on your health? Let's explore it with ava!
Avoid Eating Water Spinach and Mung Beans
During the use of lady's mantle for medicinal purposes, it's advisable to avoid eating water spinach and mung beans. Consuming lady's mantle along with these foods can lead to side effects such as bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. If you experience such symptoms, it's important to seek prompt medical assistance.
Limit Sugar, Soybeans, and Tofu Consumption
Sugar is a common ingredient in many dishes, but individuals using lady's mantle for treatment should restrict their sugar intake. Sugar can elevate insulin levels in the blood, decrease estrogen-related hormone levels, and have additional side effects, including premature aging, reduced vitamin levels, and compromised immune function.

Avoid Dairy Products
Milk and dairy products are generally beneficial for health, providing nutrients and vitamins that boost the body's immunity. However, they can increase estrogen and prostaglandin levels, leading to symptoms such as tumor growth and increased contractions. Therefore, individuals using lady's mantle for treatment are advised to limit their consumption of dairy products.
Limit the Consumption of Meats and Poultry
Studies have shown that most meat products in the market, especially those from livestock and poultry, tend to contain substantial levels of antibiotics. These antibiotics can lead to an excess of estrogen and hormone imbalance, increasing the risk of fibroid tumors. Therefore, avoiding meat and poultry is recommended to prevent unwanted health complications.
Understanding what not to eat when using lady's mantle for effective and healthy results is essential. It's important to consult further on how to prepare and use lady's mantle correctly.

Week 9
October 19th, 2015
Week 9 Tuesday
Re: Reading Assignments
All assigned readings for today's class use network visualization to explore the relationship between documents. Read the blogpost / book chapter assigned to your group. Be prepared to share in class how you interpret each network graph: How is each graph constructed? And what does it tell us? (To answer these questions, it is useful to think through both the data being visualized and the symbology used to visualize the data. Some specific questions may include: What does the node represent? What does the line (the tie) between nodes represent? How is the relationship between the nodes calculated? Why are nodes and ties colored and sized differently?)
Visual Complexity collects network visualizations on a wide range of subjects. Filter by SUBJECT (the filtering dropdown list is on the right side of your screen). Pick one or two subject categories and take a look at a few visualizations in those categories. What is being visualized? What does the visualization reveal? Come and share your thoughts with the class.
Short Presentations: Presenters today are Nicole (Itinera) and Allie (Kindred Britain). Please give a 3-minute demonstration on the website assigned to you. Are these visualizations meaningful and/or effective? What advice would you give to their developers for further improvement? | eng | 5228cbfc-84f5-4f89-83bd-401cdb26b020 | http://humnviz.blogs.bucknell.edu/study-guides/week-9/ |
