Remembering Zitkála-Á (Red Bird), A Successful Novelist, Performer, And Defender Of Native American Rights Who Built Bridges Between Cultures
Quaker missionaries lured the little Sioux girl with tales of orchards. Come with us, they said, and we'll bring you to school.
Her widowed mother protested. She'd lost a son to white missionaries before. But her little girl begged and begged, eager to escape to a faraway place where she might pursue knowledge and eat red apples.
Finally her mother relented. The seven-year-old boarded a train and journeyed seven hundred miles. When she arrived at the school, it was February. The air was cold and the branches of the apple trees were bare. She immediately burst into tears.
The school was White's Manual Labor Institute in Wabash, Indiana, and the little girl's experiences there read like the early chapters of an American Jane Eyre. Teachers beat students. Young friends died from neglect and malnutrition. Students were forced to rise early in the day to study and do hard labor. The girl's long black braids were forcibly cut. White's Institute was part of an entire culture that sought to suffocate her very identity.
But she emerged clutching that identity more tightly than ever.
Gertrude Simmons, later known as Zitkála-Šá ("Red Bird") is best known today for her activism and writing. And for good reason, too: the brutal, poetic honesty of her essays can take your breath away. But Zitkála-Šá was also renowned for her mastery of the violin, the piano, and the voice. Western art music was a tool that she used to cope with abuse, garner praise and respect, and shatter stereotypes of Native people.
In 1913 she collaborated on a groundbreaking work, The Sun Dance Opera. It is the first opera written by a Native American, and it employed elements of Native folk music. Unsurprisingly, her white male collaborator took more credit than he was likely due. He copyrighted the score under his name alone, despite citing Zitkála-Šá as a creative partner in his memoir. We don't have any first-person account of its composition from Zitkála-Šá, and so we are forced to squint between the lines and fill in the blanks ourselves.
Doing so is worthwhile. For those interested in Western art music, the story of Zitkála-Šá is uniquely challenging and rewarding. It raises a variety of questions we still struggle with today. Is Western art music really a universal language? Might it bridge cultural chasms, or does it cause them? How might it oppress, and might it give the voiceless a voice?
Zitkála-Šá was born Gertrude Simmons in late February 1876 in Yankton, South Dakota, near the Nebraska border. She was the product of a short-lived marriage between an abusive Frenchman and a widow named Tate I Yohin Win (Reaches for the Wind, or Every Wind), also known as Ellen Simmons. Tribal elders compensated for the lack of a father figure, and she remembered her childhood as idyllic. But her innocence was shattered in 1884 when she arrived at White's Institute.
She spent three years there. At eleven she returned to Yankton, then at thirteen she briefly attended the Santee Normal Training School in Nebraska. This geographically and culturally disjointed upbringing put great strain on her and her mother's relationship. In 1890 Gertrude opted for the once unthinkable: to return to White's Institute. She departed in December, the same month as the Wounded Knee massacre, which occurred a few counties to the west.
At White's Institute, Gertrude threw herself into her studies, proving exceptionally gifted at the violin and piano, as well as recitation and oration. In June 1895 she delivered a rousing commencement speech entitled "The Progress of Women", which asserted that "half of humanity cannot rise while the other half is in subjugation." The local paper raved.
She opted to attend Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, where she was the only Native in the student body. She took a variety of classes, joined a music club, and sang and performed in public. Much to the dismay of the senior class, as a freshman, she won a college-wide oratory contest.
The win made her eligible to attend a statewide competition held at the Indianapolis Opera House. She ascended to the stage only to see a racist banner unfurled across the balcony. Nonetheless, her speech on the necessity of Native equality won second place. (She would have placed first, but one judge was Southern and furious over her disparagement of slavery.)
The stress and excitement soon caught up with her, and her health began deteriorating. Exhaustion combined with financial concerns led her to drop out of Earlham after three trimesters.
In 1897, Gertrude found a job teaching at the Carlisle Indian Industrial School (CIIS) in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, the best-known boarding school for Native Americans in the country. Like White's, this school was designed to stamp out students' cultural identities. Here she sang at school events and conducted the Minnehaha Glee Club. She was even selected as violin soloist for the CIIS Band's upcoming tour. That summer she began focusing on her violin playing in earnest, studying with a Leipzig Conservatory graduate named Professor Taube. She also traveled to New York and met with Gertrude Käsebier, the best-known female photographer in America. Käsebier apparently encouraged Gertrude to pursue her many talents as far as they would lead her. This encouragement provided serious food for thought.
Thanks to a grant from the commissioner of Indian Affairs, she began studying music in Boston with Eugene Gruenberg, an early Boston Symphony member. She considered attending the New England Conservatory of Music, but her relatively advanced age – 23 – put her at a marked disadvantage to players who had started earlier.
So she shifted her creative energy to writing. Over the following months she produced a series of essays for Atlantic Monthly, which appeared in the first three months of 1900. They were autobiographical in nature and critical of the brutal education that many Natives had endured. To underline her embrace of the Native portion of her identity, she signed these stories Zitkála-Šá (Red Bird).
Zitkála-Šá returned to the CIIS in early March 1900 and began rehearsing for the tour. A recitation – "The Famine" from Longfellow's TheSong of Hiawatha – was added to the program. Zitkála-Šá also opted to appear wearing traditional Native dress. These performances were unmitigated successes. "She held every ear and the recourse frequently to handkerchiefs told how great an effect she was exerting over her audience," reported the Trenton Daily Gazette. She not only performed for Longfellow's daughter, but the McKinleys at the White House itself.
However, in the eyes of the CIIS superintendent, Richard Henry Pratt, the success of the tour wasn't enough to compensate for her critical Atlantic Monthly articles. "But for those she has maligned, she would be a poor squaw in an Indian camp, probably married to some no-account Indian," Pratt fumed privately. Articles critiquing Zitkála-Šá and her lack of gratitude began springing up in Carlisle's publication Red Man.
Zitkála-Šá's position at the CIIS became increasingly untenable. Instead of continuing her career there, she decided to return to the west and write about her heritage. The publishing house Ginn & Company asked for a collection of "Indian stories" for children, resulting in Old Indian Legends and American Indian Stories.
In May 1902, Zitkála-Šá married Raymond Bonnin, a classmate from White's. A few months later, he got a job with the Office of Indian Affairs on the Uintah and Ouray Reservation in northeastern Utah. Zitkála-Šá recognized that moving to Utah meant sacrificing musical, and possibly literary, ambitions. But she also believed that she was in a position to better the lives of fellow Natives, and that any personal sacrifice would be worthwhile. No sooner had she arrived in Utah than she realized she was pregnant. On May 29, 1903, she gave birth to a son. She and Bonnin named the boy – their only child – Ohiya, or Winner.
Soon after Ohiya's birth, Zitkála-Šá began teaching at the Uintah Boarding School at Whiterocks. There she came upon an abandoned collection of brass instruments, and soon Native schoolchildren were playing band concerts in the community, led by Zitkála-Šá herself.
The reservation was a place racked with poverty, disease, and corruption, and Zitkála-Šá's life there was challenging. Much of her time was spent working and raising Ohiya; even more, it seems, was spent battling corruption and abuse originating with the American government. She sought refuge in religion, converting to Catholicism.
Interestingly, despite her passion for Native culture, that embrace of Catholicism led her to write disapprovingly of certain indigenous customs. But in 1910 she set any misgivings she had aside and attended a Ute performance of the Sun Dance. There she ran into a music teacher named William Hanson, a Mormon who had studied at Brigham Young University, and they got to talking about the meaning of the ceremony. Eventually Zitkála-Šá proposed a radical idea: they should co-write an opera about it.
The Sun Dance was a three or four day observance that originated with the Plains Algonquians in the early 1500s and subsequently spread from tribe to tribe. Tadeusz Lewandowski writes in Red Bird, Red Power: The Life and Legacy of Zitkála-Šá:
Generally, the Sun Dance features ceremonial dancing, singing, and music, all performed for onlookers who sit in a specially designated area. Individuals who choose to dance forego food and drink for the duration, and beforehand usually vow to fulfill a range of activities from leading a successful hunt to taking revenge on enemies in war.
The ceremony could include piercings:
Dancers endure piercings through the skin and sometimes under the muscle. Bison skulls may be attached to the piercings with tethers, in which case dancers drag them around the Mystery Hoop [a pole from a sacred tree] four times. The skin may tear open, signifying the most important part of the dancer's sacrifice. Those who are pierced may alternatively be tied to the sacred tree, to then pull away until either the skin or the tether breaks. Pieces of flesh are subsequently given as offerings or signs of thanks. Ultimately, these days of deprivation, fasting, and bodily pain demonstrate that the dancer has offered his body, or himself, so that his prayers may be answered.
The United States government was horrified that such a custom existed. Ostensibly the concern was over its "barbaric, wild and heathenish" nature, but there were also political considerations. The Sun Dance often attracted thousands of Natives to one place, making the observance a ripe time and place for potential rebellion. In 1883, observance of the Sun Dance became illegal under U.S. law, and in 1904, the ban had to be reiterated. Nonetheless, Sun Dances were still observed, their political undertones lingering.
Perhaps this history explains why Zitkála-Šá – who was consistently attracted to subversive themes throughout her creative life – settled on the subject of a Sun Dance for an opera. P. Jane Hafer writes in "A Cultural Duet: Zitkála-Šá and The Sun Dance Opera":
Rather than continuing as a trained Indian on exhibit, she may have been trying to assume artistic control with composition and direction of the opera and to present her own cultural viewpoint. The performance of the opera allowed her personal and cultural validation.
Zitkála-Šá and William Hanson spent two and a half years working on the opera. In his (admittedly unreliable) 1967 memoir, Hanson claimed that Zitkála-Šá would play Native chants and melodies on the violin while he improvised and notated at the piano. In his memoirs, Hanson ascribes Zitkála-Šá a bewildering variety of roles: "a full collaborator", someone who "skeletoned the story", a director, and even just an assistant. All of these descriptions would seem to be contradictions in terms. It is impossible to know exactly what role she played in The Sun Dance Opera's composition, but it seems it was a major one.
The Sun Dance's plot revolves around a love triangle. The hero is Ohiya (Sioux and named after Zitkala's ten-year-old son), the heroine Winona (who is Ute), and the villain Sweet Singer (who is Shoshone). Ohiya vows to court Winona by participating in the Sun Dance, even carving a flute to seduce her. The trickster Sweet Singer, on the other hand, tries to appeal directly to Winona's father. Ohiya finishes the grueling dance, Winona falls in love with him, and Sweet Singer dies.
The opera contains a number of intriguing moments. One of the most striking is Ohiya's initial "love chant" for Winona, which includes an element of improvisation. Since the main characters in the opera were played by whites, it seems likely that Zitkála-Šá trained them for their roles.
The first performances were held in Hanson's hometown of Vernal, Utah. The project turned into a collaboration between whites and Natives. Classically trained white singers took on the leading roles, but the Utes were commissioned to create the costumes and share native songs and dance. The work was successful enough that it was revived and brought on tour. Occasionally Zitkála-Šá delivered what we might nowadays call a pre-concert talk, discussing the ritual.
Professor N. L. Nelson of Brigham Young University wrote a review for Salt Lake City's Deseret News which was later excerpted in Musical America:
That our brothers and sisters of the desert have such a spiritual background to their lives, was a complete revelation to the writer, and makes him feel the need of meeting them on the plane of a nearer social and spiritual equality.
Of course, modern scholars are more hesitant to praise the work, for a variety of reasons. The depiction of the ceremony is not always accurate, and the mashup of an indigenous ceremony and European opera present serious problems for modern sensibilities.
It's also difficult to pin down the score, as two dramatically different versions exist. In the words of Catherine Parsons Smith in her chapter of Opera Indigene: Re/presenting First Nations and Indigenous Cultures:
The first [version] is a rough piano-vocal version deposited in the US Copyright Office in 1912, about three months before the first production. This consists of a brief overture and twenty-three short numbers divided into three acts and five scenes. It includes some stage directions and the framework for a certain amount of spoken dialogue. No other copy of the 1913 version is known. The other score is a later revision, now at BYU, probably prepared for [a] 1938 New York revival. Its radical changes include added characters and events; the added magical "Love-Leaves," slightly reminiscent of the love potion in Tristan und Isolde, are the most prominent example. Some numbers are eliminated, others are extensively recomposed, and still others are added. Sections performed by Ute men in the early production(s) are written out for later performers taking their roles. All these changes were made by Hanson.
Zitkála-Šá wasn't a part of the 1938 revival. Tragically, by that time, she was very sick. Decades of frenetic advocacy for Native Americans had taken a physical toll. After composing The Sun Dance Opera, she had largely abandoned her musical pursuits in favor of writing and organizing, pushing for American citizenship for Natives and an end to government corruption. Zitkála-Šá passed away in January of 1938.
What exactly is the musical legacy of Zitkála-Šá? It's a subject up for debate. But in an era when classical music lovers are wrestling with the buzzword diversity, it seems like a valuable exercise to look at her musical life and ascertain how her story and her voice might still speak to us today.

Investing in Snowmobile Financing—A Quick Guide
When you live in a cold and mountainous place like Canada, it's pretty common to see snow, especially during the winter. Where there's snow, there are people having fun. Some recreational activities regarding snow include snowball fights, making snow angels, going ice skating, and more. Besides that, driving a snowmobile is also an option.
If you have a snowmobile, you understand the thrill of driving a motorized vehicle through the snow without effort. Like cars, you'll need to finance a snowmobile if you don't have enough money. However, getting a snowmobile isn't as easy as acquiring a car because there are other things to take into account.
In this article, we'll guide you on how to finance a snowmobile. Read on below to learn more.
Determine Your Finances
You obviously don't have enough money, or you won't be financing a snowmobile in the first place. Try to analyze your expenses by estimating how much money you spend on the essentials, combined with any monthly fees you're currently paying for.
From there, you must compare the cost you come up with to your monthly income and note the difference. Once you have all that down, look at what you can afford, including monthly payments. It's recommended that you have an estimate rather than a defined cost because it can still change depending on the payment terms.
Think of Additional Expenses
Unless you live in a snowy area where you can drive your snowmobile around on its own, you're going to need a trailer to transport it. Even then, you'll also need garage space to store your snowmobile when it's not in use. There's also the matter of wearing the right attire, such as a winter jacket, pants, gloves, boots, and the most crucial gear: your helmet, for safety.
Like any other vehicle, snowmobiles also have insurance. If you want your snowmobile to be taken care of, then you'll need one. Consider any extra expenses that you might incur, allowing you to drive your snowmobile without a single worry.
Know the Snowmobile You Plan to Buy
Like any other vehicle, you can buy brand-new or pre-owned snowmobiles. While getting the former is the go-to option for most people, there's nothing wrong with aiming for the latter as long as it's in good condition.
As a matter of fact, opting for a pre-owned snowmobile is recommended if you're new to the snowmobile scene. The bottom line is that you should always think about the future since a snowmobile is a significant investment.
Look for Different Snowmobile Financing Options
Snowmobiles have different options for financing, leaving you with a lot of room to have many choices or possibly getting you closer to the one you want the most.
It's better that you get a low-interest fixed-rate loan because your interest rates won't change over time, allowing for more flexibility when it comes to payments.
Other Things to Take Note
If you're buying a pre-owned snowmobile, chances are you'll get it from an independent seller. While there's nothing wrong with that, it's suggested that you buy from a dealership. Choosing a dealership will get you more financing options instead of simply one or two.
On a related note, you also have to know your exact payment for the snowmobile. You can determine it by using a payment calculator. If you're buying from a dealership, they'll have one. This is important because it will let you know if you can afford the payments for your snowmobile.
In case you have bad credit, you shouldn't worry because you can still get your snowmobile. What matters is that you can afford the monthly payments for it.
Conclusion
Snowmobiles are a fun vehicle to own, and financing them is fairly easy. As long as you make your monthly payments, you can traverse the frozen lands with it to your heart's content.

1. Highest Passer Rating: Josh McCown (101.0)
As a team known for defense, it's no secret that the Chicago Bears haven't had a ton of great quarterback play over the years. Josh McCown is a shocking exception, however. Among all the players to ever throw at least 100 passes in Chicago, nobody except McCown has a passer rating in the triple-digits. McCown played just eight games across two seasons in Chicago, but in that time he completed 184 of 279 passes for 2,243 yards with 15 touchdowns and just 5 interceptions.
2. Most Punt Return Touchdowns: Devin Hester (13)
In addition to the franchise record, Devin Hester holds the NFL record for most career punt return touchdowns, with 14. He had 13 of those while playing in Chicago. The most impressive part of Hester's punt return records is how badly he blew away the old records. The previous NFL career punt return TD record was just 10, and the previous Bears record was 3. Hester had at least 3 in three separate seasons.
3. Most Forced Fumbles: Charles Tillman (42)
It probably doesn't surprise Bears fans that Charles Tillman holds the franchise record for forced fumbles, as few have ever had a knack for stripping the ball like Peanut did. But the margin by which he holds it is insane. Second in franchise history is Richard Dent, who had 34. He also racked those up in a far more traditional way, having done so while recording 124.5 career sacks. Tillman blew him away by 12, and no other player in Chicago history had more than 16 forced fumbles with the Bears | eng | 4ef4c869-ac8d-43c6-adf5-742210c54548 | https://www.fanduel.com/theduel/posts/3-chicago-bears-records-that-will-blow-your-mind-01e8pv6zg9rg |
What is yeast and why is it important?
What is yeast and why is it important?
Yeast in bread making Yeast is used for the leavening of bread. Yeast uses the sugars and oxygen in dough to produce more yeast cells and carbon dioxide gas. This is called multiplication. The carbon dioxide makes the dough rise which gives the bread a light and spongy texture.
What kind of yeast are there?
And there are so many types of yeast: active dry yeast, instant yeast, rapid rise yeast, or, if you're a serious baker, fresh yeast.
How do you make main function of yeast?One thing I love about baking is that it always feels a little bit indulgent, a little bit unnecessary. I don't have to bake anything, but when I do, it's because I want to devote my time to making myself or someone else happy. Simply making that decision feels like a gift to myself. Baking is a communal experience.
Is yeast a bacteria or fungus?
Yeasts. Yeasts are members of a higher group of microorganisms called fungi . They are single-cell organisms of spherical, elliptical or cylindrical shape. Their size varies greatly but are generally larger than bacterial cells.
What is yeast good for?
Yeast keeps your digestive system healthy and in balance. The right amount in your body helps your immune system do its job. Yeast is part of a healthy mix of bacteria in your gut. It can help you absorb vitamins and minerals from your food, and even fight disease.
How is yeast harvested?
The baker's yeast is commercially produced on a nutrient source which is rich in sugar (usually molasses: by product of the sugar refining). The fermentation is conducted in large tanks. Once the yeast fills the tank, it is harvested by centrifugation, giving an off-white liquid known as cream yeast.

Overview
Vedic literature provides some immense knowledge regarding
the record of agriculture in India. The hymns of rig Veda
describe plowing, irrigation, fallowing, cultivation of
fruits and vegetables. Other historical evidence also shows
that rice and cotton were well cultivated in the Indus
valley civilization and plowing patterns were known to us
since the Bronze Age.
managed farmlandAccording to the opinion of some scientists, agriculture was
widespread in the peninsula of India 1000-3000 years ago.
Although some claim that agriculture in India began by 9000
BC owing to the results of early cultivation of plants along
with the domestication of crops. After the
independence, India has made in-depth progress towards food
security and the production has quadrupled with the growing
population. India has witnessed substantial growth in the
available food grain per capita. India ranks 74 out of 113
major countries when it comes to the food security index.
Between 1970 to 2011 India's agricultural economy although
had fallen from 43% to 16% was largely due to the rapid
economic growth in industrial output services along with
non-agricultural sectors between 2000 -2010.
managed farm landsIndia is a vast country with an arable land area is of 159.7
million hectares which is the second largest in the world
rankings right after the United States. Moreover, India's
gross irrigated crop area is the largest in the world as it
is 82.6 million hectares. In 2020 the government of
Karnataka removed limitations on the purchase of
agricultural land by the non-agricultural lists by repealing
a decades-old rule. Any Indian resident regardless of
their annual revenue from non-agricultural sources can
easily purchase land for agriculture in Karnataka with a
maximum income of 25lakhs per year. Therefore agricultural
land for sale in Bangalore has increased. Now common men can
easily purchase agricultural land for sale in Bangalore. One
should only remember the fact that they need to possess the
required documents and must begin agricultural activities on
the land within a year of purchase of the property. Despite
this, if you fail to continue with the task of agricultural
activity within five years then the state government is
liable to confiscate your agricultural land.

UAE university to harvest fresh vegetables as on-campus hydroponic farm is announced
In the heart of the UAE, nestled amidst the desert sands and futuristic skylines, a Sharjah university, has embarked on a truly unique and sustainable farming endeavour, dubbed, 'Harvesting Hope.'
The American University of Sharjah (AUS) has launched a hydroponic farming initiative that allows students to delve into the latest developments in agricultural technology while also enjoying the nutritional produce from the farm.
The fledgling initiative between the AUS student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology (IEEE SIGHT) and The Big Heart Educational Center in Sharjah also strives to empower marginalised students from diverse national backgrounds in the UAE.
With a primary emphasis on addressing issues related to illiteracy, Sara Walid, a senior mechanical engineering student, Chair of IEEE SIGHT and student project leader, said, "The significance of hydroponics lies in the ability to cultivate plants in nutrient-rich water solutions, eliminating the need for soil. The establishment of hydroponic systems on the AUS campus enables workshops that educate students on optimal plant growth practices, covering topics such as system assembly, potential hydrogen testing, light-emitting diode and water pump configurations and nutrient solution management."
"The resulting produce will serve as both a hands-on learning tool and a source of fresh, nutritious vegetables, enhancing daily meals," she added.
With financial support from the IEEE Humanitarian Technologies Best Practices and Projects Committee, the project monitors its advancement by conducting frequent evaluations and involving students at The Big Heart Educational Center in interactive Kahoot quizzes. This approach ensures that students not only comprehend but also effectively apply the concepts presented.
'Harvesting Hope' aligned to COP 28 UAE
Meanwhile, Harvesting Hope is aligned with the UAE's commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050 and corresponds to the goals set for the upcoming COP28 summit.
Safwan Khan, a senior electrical engineering student, and former Chair and current Vice Chair of the IEEE SIGHT AUS Chapter, said, "Hydroponics maximise resource utilisation, minimise environmental impact and potentially increase crop yields. This innovative project not only aligns with our commitment to sustainable technology but also holds great significance in the upcoming COP28 UAE Conference. By fostering sustainable farming practices through hydroponics, we are contributing to the UAE's efforts in addressing pressing environmental challenges and showcasing our nation's dedication to a greener future."
One of the heads at the varsity highlights that the university is dedicated to supporting the UAE's sustainability endeavours through robust initiatives and active faculty engagement.
He said this pioneering effort allows communities to assume control of their food production while alleviating the burden on the Earth's resources by connecting technology and agriculture.
"We are privileged to have set up one of the first IEEE SIGHT student groups in the GCC that furthers the goals of humanitarian causes in the local community," said Dr Imran Zualkernan, Professor and Head of the Department of Computer Science and Engineering who also serves as the IEEE SIGHT Chapter advisor and project lead | eng | 28aa8ec5-cefe-40db-89c2-6f0f09d0502d | https://www.zawya.com/en/business/education/uae-university-to-harvest-fresh-vegetables-as-on-campus-hydroponic-farm-is-announced-tmbm8ygo |

Q1: Grading ELA assignments can be time-consuming and stressful. How do you ease your grading load?
A1 Use rubrics and NEVER mark up a final draft. Lots of peer editing leading up to final drafts and commenting via Google Docs
A1: I have been known to grade only for certain things – like "just" proper punctuation one week… It all depends on our focus that week.
A1: Digital tools cut my grading time by so much and no piles of paper = less stress for me. I use Doctopus/Goobric, Autocrat, DocAppender and others.
A1: Definitely rubrics and checklists
A1: I use rubrics and assign whatever I can online so I don't have to lug papers everywhere and sort through all of them
A1: Focus on the importance/the essence of the assignment … don't mark it all up. Give verbal feedback. Don't give every assignment a grade.
A1: Digital grading tools, using clear and simple rubrics, also being selective with what I assess.
A1: I ease my grading load (especially writing assignments) by utilizing technology like Google docs with the feedback commentary extension. I also try to pace myself by grading only one class a day when grading projects and/or essays.
A1: It starts with making sure the assignments are meaningful. Quality over quantity-especially in writing. Selecting quality assignments can help reduce your load.
A1: As a second-year teacher one of my biggest lessons learned is DON'T GRADE EVERYTHING… even if I collect it for the sake of accountability
A1: I use sites/tools that do some of the grading for me (Google Forms, Actively Learn, etc). Also, rubrics for writing assignments and projects.
A1: I ease my grading load by lots of feedback as we work through the writing process to make the final draft grading quicker. I have also tried staggered turn-ins so I don't have 120 papers all at once.
Q2: What lessons or activities do you do with students when you need a break from grading or to relieve stress?
A2: Hands-on activities that don't require any paperwork to grade like stations or digital breakouts
A2: One that is focused on using groups. We completed a group essay recently and that went really well!
A2: Learning games, collaborative projects. These still allow for standards but don't require as much time grading.
A2: Reading their work to the class or reading together always gave me a break. "Silent seat work" is not the answer. You can still be meaningful, interactive and low-key!
A2: Speaking & listening assignments like a presentation on an @nytimes article or a collaborative project with the Life Skills class.
A2: I've been learning that not everything needs a grade and not everything even needs feedback from me – so I pace big assignments that need my feedback.
A2: In-class work like presentations or stations are great when both the students and teacher need a break from formal assessment.
A2: I like using Jigsaw Activities and Learning Carousels in my classroom. These activities promote collaboration among peers and demonstrate to students the importance of learning from/with each other!
A2: I've recently found a vocabulary game on TPT that my students enjoy. I also use other games (Kahoot!, Quizlet) and Escape Rooms as review.
Q3: What other strategies do you use in school to help manage stress and avoid burning out?
A3: Spending my (very short) lunch period with my colleagues to decompress and making sure some of our talk is non-school related
A3: Don't make all assignments due on the same day/week. Space out your grading.
A3: I'm afraid I'm not very good at this! I'm trying to listen to more music and/or inspirational podcasts every morning.
A3: Free choice outside reading books is low-key and enjoyable for them and for me!
A3: I leave work at work. (mostly – unless grades are due.)
A3: I find listening to music with earbuds really helps me focus during my planning time, and I get more grading done because I block out distractions
A3: I try to find ways to laugh in my class every day. The best thing I've learned in a decade is not to take myself so seriously!
A3. I try to be in the moment wherever I am. My teachers and students deserve it. Being present mentally and emotionally helps me balance the day.
A3: Of course, we also connect with others via social media for support!
A3. I try to be in the moment wherever I am. My teachers and students deserve it. Being present mentally and emotionally helps me balance the day.
A3: I love reading to the students and having wonderful discussions about the characters and plot! We keep it low-key, fun, and very conversational. That is my happy place that keeps me going during the stressful times.
A3: Also, this summer I read a book called The Zen Teacher. It has wonderful tips to create a balanced classroom.
A3: I like to create to-do lists for each day with a list of things that are a priority for that day and things that are coming up to stay organized! Checking items off my to-do list helps me manage stress and avoid feeling overwhelmed!
A3: I usually take a quiet lunch break to get a little "me" time in during the day — since so much of my time is spent interacting with other people! It feels good to "turn it off" for at least 20 minutes.
A3: I learned to use teacher leaders. Many of my teachers have more skills at things than I do. I learned to ask for help so I can have a family and personal life as well as a professional one!
Q4: What strategies do you use outside of school to help manage stress and avoid burning out?
A4: Making time to exercise. Putting limits on the time I spend on schoolwork outside of school. Not checking my work email at home.
A4: I try to take home as little work as possible and spend time with my kids where I really focus on them and not at all on school.
A4: I do kickboxing! I also READ! Most importantly, I focus on my family at home to alleviate stress.
A4: Do not check your work email at home. Set limits on what days of the week you will bring work home. It is better to stay a little later or arrive earlier than to bring it home.
A4: Weekends are for me and my family to go to Disney! Then if I want to do a little work, I've had a nice break. 🙂
A4: I think it is important to spend time outside. As soon as I get home I like to take a walk with my dogs and just breathe in the fresh air It helps clear my mind and appreciate the day.
A4: A few of my colleagues and I work out after school together. It is a great way to manage stress and enjoy time with coworkers outside of school!
A3 and A4: This is something that I struggle with. Three preps and a large caseload keep me very busy | eng | 6a22f74b-5f10-4f4d-ac00-5a7eefaeb4e3 | https://www.2peasandadog.com/2018/03/teacher-self-care-tips.html |
How does Tadacip 20 Mg contribute to overall well-being?
Tadacip 20 mg is a medication that includes tadalafil as its energetic component. Tadalafil is a phosphodiesterase kind five (pde5) inhibitor, and it's miles typically used to deal with erectile disorder (ed) in guys. Tadacip 20 works via growing blood float to the penis at some stage in sexual stimulation, supporting to obtain and preserve an erection.
While tadacip 20 particularly addresses problems related to erectile disorder, its effect on standard well-being is oblique. Here are some approaches in which addressing erectile dysfunction can contribute to a person's well-being:
Advanced sexual functioning: for people experiencing erectile dysfunction, the capacity to achieve and hold an erection can definitely impact their sexual functioning. This will cause accelerated self-belief and pleasure in intimate relationships.
Improved psychological properly-being: erectile dysfunction can have mental consequences, which includes pressure, tension, and a negative effect on shallowness. Efficiently addressing ed with medications like tadacip 20 may alleviate some of those psychological stressors.
Tremendous consequences on relationships: sexual intimacy is an important factor of many relationships. By means of effectively treating erectile dysfunction, individuals and their partners might also enjoy improved conversation, emotional connection, and overall relationship pleasure.
It's essential to word that tadacip 20, like different medications, have to be used beneath the supervision and prescription of a certified healthcare professional. It is now not a medication for fashionable nicely-being, and its use is specific to the remedy of erectile dysfunction. When you have worries approximately your sexual fitness or normal properly-being, it's endorsed to consult with a healthcare issuer to discuss your unique scenario and explore suitable alternatives for care. | eng | ef5e8fd1-00e1-445a-9c38-2754d1e7d736 | https://wikifintech.org/article/how-does-tadacip-20-mg-contribute-to-overall-well-being-4738/ |
Sensitive Data Exposure And Its Securing Techniques
In this article you will learn about sensitive data exposure and its securing techniques.
Many Web Applications do not properly protect the sensitive data such as password, credit card number, Email Id and mobile number etc. The attackers may steal or modify such weakly-protected data in many ways.
Scenarios to Avoid Exposure of Sensitive Data
There are mainly two techniques required to avoid exposure of sensitive data,
Hashing.
Encryption
Hashing
Hashing is the process of generating a unique string in an encrypted format for the given input.The best hashing algorithms are designed so that it's impossible for the hacker to convert the hashed string into the original string.
Popular Algorithms
MD5 (Message Digest 5 algorithm)
SHA (Secure Hash algorithm)
MD5
MD5 is the most widely known hash function. It produces a 16 byte hash value, usually expressed as a 32 digit hexadecimal number.
The screenshot, given below, explains the procedure of hashing, using MD5.
The code, given below, decrypts the hashed text:
From the above screenshots, we observe
MD5CryptoServiceProvider: is used to compute the Hash and create a valid TripleDES private key.
TripleDESCryptoServiceProvider
It accepts the initialization vector and the private key.
TripleDES, as its name itself show, increases the encryption strength by applying the DES encryption algorithm to the data three times, before rendering to a result. As shown in the image, given below, the string or number is encrypting and decrypting three times:
By creating an object of TripleDescryptoserviceprovider, we have few properties. We can say mode, padding etc...
We have a few Cipher Modes (Encrypted modes).They are,
CBC (Cypher Block chaining)
ECB (Electronic Codebook)
CFB (Cipher feedback)
CTS (Cypher text stealing)
OFB (Output Feedback)
CipherMode.ECB
The Electronic Codebook (ECB) mode is the simplest mode among the available encryption modes.The message is divided into the blocks and each block is encrypted separately.
Identical plaintext blocks are encrypted into the identical cipher text blocks. Thus, it doesn't get out of sight data patterns. To some extent, it doesn't provide the serious message confidentiality.
CipherMode.CBC
In CBC mode, each block of the plaintext depends on the previous cipher text block, before being encrypted. As shown below in the screenshot, each cipher text block relies on all plaintext blocks, processed until that point of time. To make each message unique, in the first block, an initialization vector must be used.
Initialization Vector(IV)
It is an arbitrary number, that can be used along with a secret key for the data encryption.
The use of IV prevents a repetition in the data encryption and it makes it more difficult for the hacker to break a cipher. Disadvantages of using CBC
CBC does not support parallelizable encryption .
CipherMode.OFB
The Output Feedback (OFB) mode makes a block cipher into a synchronous stream cipher. It generates the keystream blocks, which will be XORed with the plaintext blocks to produce the cipher text.
Stream cipher
It is a mechanism of encrypting the text to produce a cipher text, in which a cryptographic key and algorithm are applied to each and every binary digit in a data stream, one bit at a time.
Disadvantages of using OFB
Each output block cipher operation depends on all the previous blocks and that is why, it cannot be performed in parallel.
OFB does not support Encryption Parallelism and Decryption parallelism.
CipherMode.CFB
The Cipher Feedback (CFB) mode is a close relative of CBC and makes a block cipher into a self-synchronizing stream cipher. This operation is very similar to CBC and CFB decryption is almost identical to CBC encryption, performed in reverse.
Advantages of using CFB
CFB shares two advantages over CBC mode:
The block cipher is only used in the encrypting direction.
The message does not need to be padded to a multiple of the cipher block size.
CipherMode.CTS
This mode handles any length of the plain text and produces cipher text, whose length equals the plain text length. This mode behaves in the same way as CBC mode behaves.
Padding
The screenshot, given below, explains the different padding modes, available in TDESAlgorithm.
PaddingMode.ANSIX923
In ANSIX923, zeros are filled for the bytes with padded and the last byte defines the padding boundaries or the number of padded bytes.
PaddingMode.ISO10126
Specifies that the padding should be done at the end of the last block with the random bytes and the last byte should specify the padding boundary.
PaddingMode.PKCS7
Padding is in whole bytes. The value of each added byte is the number of bytes, that are added.This padding method (as well as the previous two) is well-defined, if and only if, N is less than 256.
PaddingMode.Zeroes
All the bytes that are required to be padded are padded with zero. The zero padding scheme has not been standardized for the encryption, although it is specified for the hashes and MACs
ICryptoTransform
The ICryptoTransform defines the basic operations of the cryptographic transformations.
TransformFinalBlock
This method transforms the input byte array into an encrypted byte array by applying the private key and the initialization vector.This is finally converted into a Base64String and returns the encrypted string to the calling method.
Here, we finally got both Hashed and Decrypted format, as shown below:
While decrypting the contact number, we are exposing only the last three letters for the contact number under "Masked Contact" field.

Encryption
Encryption is a mechanism, which converts the data into a series of unreadable characters and that are not of a fixed length. The main difference between hashing and encryption is; if you have the right key then the encrypted strings can be converted back into their original decrypted form.
There are two primary types of encryption. They are:
Symmetric Key encryption
Asymmetric Key encryption
Symmetric key Encryption
In this encryption mechanism, the sender and receiver of a message share a single and a common key, which is used to encrypt and decrypt the message. Symmetric-key cryptography is also called as the secret-key cryptography.
In Symmetric Key Encryption, we have two Algorithms:
AES (Advanced Encryption Standard)
PGP (Pretty Good Privacy)
AES: Advanced Encryption Standard is also known as Rijndael.
Asymmetric Key encryption
In this Cryptography, the two keys are present; Public key and Private key. Public key is used to encrypt the input string and a Private Key is used to decrypt the input string. Symmetric cryptography is also known as a public key cryptography.
Differences between MD5 and AES
MD5 is a hashing algorithm and it is similar to CRC checksum algorithm. Here, the data is not encrypted. It is hashed and thus, it is difficult to be unrecoverable. It is in fact, fast to compute.
Encryption algorithm is a 2-way system. The data can be encrypted and decrypted with a key, which is valid. They usually involve more loops and shifting then checksum algorithms, which makes it slower.
Choosing between MD5 or AES will depend on your needs and requirements. Keep in mind, that MD5 is not secure anymore and should not be used. Prefer SHA-256 instead.
Encrypt and Decrypt using AES Algorithm
How can you encrypt, store Username and Password in SQL Server Database Table, retrieve, decrypt and display it in ASP.NET Application? The username and password will be first encrypted, using AES symmetric key algorithm and then will be stored in the database. While fetching, it will again be decrypted, using AES algorithm, using the same key which we used for the encryption.
Thus, for this, we have created a new database MyDatabase, which contains one table named "InsertTable" with the following schema:
Create table InsertTable(UserName nvarchar(50),Passwords nvarchar(50)
If you observe the above table creation schema i.e. for storing the password column, I have used NVARCHAR data type and the reason is that for password column, when we apply an encryption, it may contain special characters and hence, it is recommended to use NVARCHAR instead of VARCHAR data type. The .ASPX page contains the username, password textbox controls and a GridView control to display the saved username and password, as shown below:
AES Algorithm Encryption and Decryption user definedmethods
The functions, given below, are for the encryption and the decryption, which will be used for encrypting and decrypting the username and password.
When we click the Submit button, the following click event will be called; which inserts the entered username and Email Id into the "InsertTable" table. The username is inserted directly the table but the Email Id is first encrypted, using the encryption method and then it will be inserted into the table, as shown below:
In the Page Load event of the Webpage, the GridView control is populated with the records from the "InsertTable" table.
In the GridView OnRowDataBound event, password is retrieved from the GridView Cell and using Decrypt method, it will be decrypted , which is highlighted in Yellow color.
Encrypt and Decrypt QueryString Parameter values
The QueryString Parameter values will be first encrypted, using AES Symmetric key algorithm encoded (as the encrypted outcome may contain some special characters) and then will be sent to the next page. On the destination page, the QueryString Parameter values will be first decoded and then decrypted, using the AES Algorithm, using the same key which we used for the encryption.
The following ASPX page consists of a Dropdown List, Textbox and a Button. The value from the Textbox and the Dropdown lists will be encrypted and sent, using QueryString parameters to the next page on the click of a Submit button.
The following ASPX page consists of two Label controls, which will be used to display the QueryString parameter values, received on the page.
Apply Encryption for the QueryString Parameter Values
When the Web page button click event fires, the following event handler will be executed. Here, the values of the DropdownList and the Textbox are first encrypted, using the AESSymmetric Key Algorithm and then encoded, using the "UrlEncode" function of the HttpUtility class. At last, these values are sent as QueryString parameters to the next page, discussed earlier.
QueryString Parameter Values Decryption
In the Page Load event of the page, the values of the previous page's DropdownList and Textbox are first retrieved from the QueryString parameter values and are decoded, using the "UrlDecode" function of the HttpUtility class. After decoding the string value, using AES Symmetric Key Algorithm, decrypt the value and then the decrypted values will be displayed, using the label controls.
The final output looks, as shown below:
Look at the screenshot, given below, where the QueryString values are in the encrypted format and with the decrypted values in the page. | eng | f375d698-2c67-4609-a8f1-6adcb4fc1d4c | https://test.c-sharpcorner.com/article/sensitive-data-exposure-and-its-securing-techniques/ |
Can a Baby's Hair Color Change?
4 minutes
Did you know that a baby's hair color can change as time goes by? In the following article, we'll tell you all about it.
Last update: 21 May, 2022
One of the big questions for expectant parents is whether the color of their baby's hair can change. While there are many characteristics that tend to change over time, science isn't very conclusive about hair color.
However, experience has shown that a baby's hair color varies during the first year of life. Here, we'll tell you more about this.
When is a baby's hair color determined?
At the moment of conception, the sperm comes into contact with the egg, and from this union, the egg or zygote is formed. Each parent offers its genetic information to the new being through chromosomes. Therefore, all the features of the future baby (eye color, sex, hair color, among others) are defined at this early stage.
Each cell of the embryo has 46 chromosomes: 23 from the father and 23 from the mother. However, the traits or characteristics depend on the genetic combination of the chromosomes in pairs, and the result is unique. For this reason, within the same family, some children often look more like one parent than the other or look like a mixture of both.
Genes are condensed in structures called chromosomes. These serve to transmit all genetic information (or DNA) from parents to their offspring.
The interaction of the genes involved
Mendel's laws are a set of rules that explain how the genetic transmission of physical traits occurs through the generations. According to these laws, a baby's hair color depends on the combination of genes from both parents.
In turn, each gene in the baby is made up of different alleles. In the case of hair color, in general,dominant alleles are associated with dark hair and recessive alleles are associated with light shades. That's to say, a child only needs to have one parent with dark hair in order to have this shade, and two parents with light hair are required for the baby to inherit this color. Despite theory, this isn't always the case.
Finally, some genes are expressed in response to certain hormones, so in some cases, the final hair color may not become apparent until adolescence.
While science has tried to explain how children's hair color is determined, according to a publication by the Tech Museum of Innovation, there's still much research to be done.
The pigments that determine hair color
The type and amount of pigment in infants' hair, along with their distribution, help define the overall shade of hair. It should be noted that these characteristics can evolve over time, just as they do in newborns.
Why does a baby's hair color change?
The color change process in babies is known as physiological hair shedding.
Newborn hair falls out spontaneously during the first few months of life to make room for the development and growth of new hair.
Although prenatal hair sometimes has the same pigmentation as the final hair, sometimes the new hair has different coloring than the old hair.
The cells responsible for providing color are melanocytes that produce melanin, a natural pigment that colors the cells of the iris of the eye and the skin. The melanocytes that the baby has are immature and over time, they increase their functionality and color production.
The final shade of the baby's hair takes time to establish, as it doesn't depend solely on genetics, although this factor is very important.
The final hair color
It's not so simple to guess what a baby's hair color will be in the future. Like other physical traits, the appearance of the hair is determined by the baby's DNA sequence. That is, by the combination of genes inherited from mom and dad.
However, it'll take some time to develop the final shade, as this isn't the only determining factor. It's worth considering the color of the eyelashes and eyebrows to get an idea of what the final lookof the rest of the hairwill be.
Baby hair color and its changes
In conclusion, a baby's hair color changes shades several times after birth before reaching the final color. It's only by the second birthday thatthe futureappearance and color may be determined, which will be with the baby for the rest of their | eng | 5c1f6525-adc0-4d7f-abae-fbfe0d05f960 | https://youaremom.com/babies/what-do-you-need-to-know/can-a-babys-hair-color-change/ |

Using numerous modes of transportation to convey cargo or freight transportation from one location to another is known as intermodal transportation. It typically involves a combination of trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes. It is the most efficient and cost-effective way to move goods, allowing them to reach their destination faster and with fewer delays.
Intermodal transportation is the movement of large objects using two or more different modes of transportation inside a single steel-based container. Today, many products are distributed using this strategy. Intermodal transport options include truck, rail, ship, and eventually, truck.
Essentially, intermodal freight transport maintains these special standardized containers instead of switching freight between moving vehicles. This procedure has many benefits, including faster delivery and increased product safety.
Intermodalism is a technique used by international organizations and logistics companies to combine various means of transportation.
Later, containerization and the global standardization of container sizes improved the economics of intermodal transport by enabling straightforward handling between modal systems. Intermodal transport currently dominates the worldwide logistics and supply chain.
This concept, which forms the cornerstone of the international shipping and trucking industries, must be understood by everyone involved in the logistics industry. This article will examine intermodal transportation's features, benefits, and market environment.
What Is the Process of Multimodal Transportation?
A vehicle arrives at the location empty to start the intermodal transportation process. The shipper or transporter in charge loads the goods into the back container of the vehicle. These things probably won't be handled until they reach their destination.
To go to a rail yard, the car uses the road system. In this area, the logistics company assembles the containers on the rail. The container can be transported by railroad to a port or a train station in a city.
The shipping industry uses the maritime system to carry these containers to the final port. The container is moved to another vehicle after being unpacked. It might even be moved farther inland on a different railway before being loaded into a vehicle.
This vehicle might deliver the container to the last modal station. The word "drayage service" describes the vehicles used to transport these commodities and is only provided by specified companies.
What comes next? The logistics company now removes the goods from the container. The container is prepared to receive new cargo now that it is empty. The logistics sector likewise manages the last mile of delivery to the client.
Why do companies use a range of transportation strategies? It enables a logistics company to utilize the advantages of every mode of transportation. In-country rail transportation is frequently less expensive. International long-distance travel can be accelerated by shipping. Automobiles are also required for local last-mile deliveries and pickups.
Benefits of Intermodal Transportation
One of the main benefits of intermodal transportation is that it reduces the environmental impacts of transportation. By using multiple modes of transportation, intermodal transportation can reduce the fuel used and the emissions produced. It also reduces the number of vehicles on the road, which reduces traffic congestion and air pollution.
Additionally, intermodal transportation can reduce the amount of land needed for transportation infrastructure, which can help preserve natural habitats and open spaces.
Intermodal transportation by freight outsourcing is also more efficient than one mode of transportation. By utilizing multiple modes of transportation, shipping times can be reduced. This is because different modes of transportation often move at different speeds, which can allow goods to be delivered more quickly.
Also, by taking advantage of multiple modes of transportation, goods can be delivered with fewer delays, as traffic congestion and other problems can be avoided.
Finally, intermodal transportation can also help to reduce overall costs. By utilizing multiple modes of transportation, it is often possible to reduce transportation costs, as different modes of transportation often have different rates. Moreover, by using fewer vehicles, costs associated with fuel and maintenance can be reduced.
Conclusion
Intermodal transportation often leads to lower costs, quicker deliveries, safer goods, and greater sustainability. These important benefits have led to intermodal transport becoming most logistics firms' chosen mode of transportation or freight management. As worldwide online trade and commerce expand, there will likely be a higher demand for multimodal transportation in the next decades.

At FMi Logistics, we understand the importance of intermodal transportation in the modern shipping industry. Many businesses have turned to this mode of freight transport due to its numerous advantages, including cost savings, increased safety and transit, and reduced environmental impact.
So, what is intermodal transportation and how does it work? Intermodal transport involves the movement of goods in a single container across multiple modes of transportation, such as road, rail, and sea.
This process begins with road transport, usually via a truck or trailer, to the first transfer point. From there, the container carrying the goods is transferred to another mode of transport without unloading the goods or changing the container. Finally, a truck will transport the goods from the unloading point to their destination.
There are several features of intermodal transportation that make it a valuable option for businesses.
These include:
Fixed Departure Schedules
Fixed departure schedules are a benefit of intermodal transportation because they allow businesses to plan and schedule their shipments with confidence. Knowing exactly when a shipment will be picked up and delivered can help businesses streamline their operations and better manage their inventory and supply chain.
Reliable Delivery Notifications
Reliable delivery notifications are also an advantage of intermodal transportation because they allow businesses to stay informed about the status of their shipments. This can help businesses plan and prepare for the arrival of goods, as well as resolve any potential issues that may arise during transit.
High Quality Transport Standards
High quality transport standards are a benefit of intermodal transportation because they ensure that goods are handled and transported safely and securely. This can help reduce the risk of damage or loss during transit, which can save businesses time and money.
Reduced Noise Pollution and Environmental Impact
Reduced noise pollution and environmental impact are benefits of intermodal transportation because they help businesses reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to a healthier and more sustainable world. By choosing intermodal transport, businesses can help reduce air and noise pollution and support the use of renewable energy sources.
Streamlined Traffic and Customs Processes
Streamlined traffic and customs processes are advantages of intermodal transportation because they can help reduce delays and disruptions during transit. By using intermodal transport, businesses can avoid the challenges of navigating busy roads and navigating complex customs procedures.
Easier Planning for Large-Scale Shipping Projects
One of the main advantages of intermodal transport is its cost effectiveness. When compared to truckload shipping, intermodal can offer a reduction of up to 10% in the cost of shipment on certain freight lanes. It is also a more environmentally sustainable option, as trains emit approximately 5.4 pounds of carbon dioxide per 100 ton-miles, compared to 19.8 pounds for trucks. In addition, intermodal transport is four times more fuel efficient than trucking, with one train able to move the equivalent of 280 trucks. If we consider Rail -we can see from Statistics Canada. Table 23-10-0063-01 Rail transportation, origin and destination of intermodal tonnage just how much volume there is. to consider.
Another advantage of intermodal transportation is the ease of data collection and monitoring, thanks to cloud-networked platforms used by many shipping companies. This makes it easier for businesses to track and assess their shipments. Intermodal transport is also scalable and flexible, allowing companies to adapt to varying demand and logistical challenges.
At FMi Logistics, we are committed to providing our clients withthe best intermodal transportation solutions. Our team is dedicated to creating customized shipping plans to meet your specific needs and goals.

Most companies that deal with product distribution and deliveries must develop a comprehensive plan for managing inventory, including tracking the movement of products from origin to destination. Failure to do so means customer dissatisfaction, which is why the system must be covered on all fronts. Storage is an excellent first step, and there's no better option for this than warehousing.
A warehouse is a large commercial building used for storing goods. Warehouses are an integral part of the product distribution and delivery system because they provide a secure location for storing goods. From here, the goods are then delivered to customers, which must be done on the estimated date it arrives. However, many companies often take warehousing for granted because they think it only does storage, which is rarely the case.
Organized Inventory Management – All goods and products are in a centralized location, with clear oversight on operations.
Improved Product Processing – Warehousing are equipped with facilities that are proficient in storing, packing and moving orders.
Agile Customer Service – With years of experience in shipping and receiving across all aspects of the global supply chain, we care, respect, execute for our clients with excellence and driven passion.
If you don't see the value of warehousing, here are several reasons why it matters:
#1 – Centralized Storage
Warehousing provides a centralized storage system that allows companies to store large quantities of goods in one location. This makes it easier for companies to manage inventory and track the movement of goods from origin to destination.
Let's say you have a business that requires you to purchase goods from various suppliers. Without a warehouse, you would have to store those goods in multiple locations, making it difficult to manage your inventory and track the movement of goods from origin to destination. With a warehouse, you can store all your goods in one place and manage your inventory better.
#2 – Improved Inventory Management
Warehousing also improves inventory management by providing a centralized hub for goods. This allows companies to manage their inventory better and track the movement of goods from origin to destination. With a warehouse, companies can store goods in one place and easily access them when needed. For example, companies can use various tools, such as barcodes, RFID tags, and automated inventory systems, to track and manage their inventory efficiently.
#3 – Time and Cost Savings
Warehousing can also result in time and cost savings. By storing goods in one place, companies can reduce the time and money spent on transportation and other associated costs, such as fuel and labour. Additionally, with a warehouse, companies can store goods for longer, allowing them to purchase goods in bulk, thus saving money on the cost of goods.
#4 – Order Processing Efficiency
Order processing is a critical point in the supply chain. By having a warehouse, companies can easily store and organize inventory, allowing them to quickly and accurately fulfill orders. This efficiency can result in improved customer satisfaction and increased sales. Additionally, warehouses can be automated, allowing for efficient order processing and fewer errors.
#5 – Seasonal Business Growth
Growth is integral to any business, and seasonal businesses significantly benefit from it. By anticipating seasonal trends, such as heavier holiday demand, companies can plan, stock up on inventory, and hire additional staff to handle the increased demand. This helps to ensure that the business can efficiently meet the needs of its customers and maximize growth opportunities.
#6 – Better Production Quality
Production quality must always be a priority for businesses. By ensuring that the production process is efficient and meets the highest standards, companies can ensure that the products they produce are of the highest quality. For any business, customers will expect the same quality of products and services regardless of the time of year. When you emphasize quality control and process optimization, companies can ensure that they are consistently producing the highest quality products and services.
#7 – Reduces Business Risks
No business is safe from risks, such as producing defective products, delays, and logistical inefficiency. Since production quality affects the bottom line, companies must take the necessary steps to reduce risks. With a warehouse, companies can streamline their production process, reduce costs, and increase efficiency. By having a well-managed warehouse, businesses can ensure that their production process is as efficient as possible and reduce the risks of product delays or defects.
Conclusion
Warehousing is critical for any successful business to manage its supply chain and increase efficiency. Because the warehouse is the hub of the supply chain, it's vital to have a well-managed warehouse to reduce business risks and costs. With a well-managed warehouse, businesses can ensure that their production process is as efficient as possible and reduce the chances of problems.

Multi-client warehousing is a type of warehouse management system (WMS) that allows companies to use the same warehouse facility to store and manage goods for multiple customers. This system offers many advantages, including cost savings, increased efficiency, better customer service, improved safety, and increased scalability. In this article, we'll discuss five of the most notable advantages of utilizing multi-client warehousing.
1. Cost Savings
Multi-client warehousing helps companies save money by allowing them to share the cost of warehouse facilities and staff. The main benefit of a single warehouse setup is that it reduces inventory costs. Companies can better manage their inventory by having all of their products in one place, rather than having multiple warehouses across different locations. This allows companies to keep fewer products on hand and reduce the amount of storage space they need. Additionally, companies can reduce their shipping costs by having all of their products in one place.
2. Increased Efficiency
Multi-client warehousing can help increase your company's efficiency in a number of ways. For starters, it can help reduce your need for storage space.
If you're using a traditional warehouse, you may need to lease or purchase additional space to accommodate your growing inventory. But with multi-client warehousing, you can simply rent the extra space you need from another company.
Additionally, multi-client warehousing can help you save time by reducing the number of trips your employees need to make to the warehouse. Instead of having your employees travel to different warehouses to pick up inventory, they can simply go to one central location. This can help save your company time and money on transportation costs.
3. Better Customer Service
Multi-client warehousing can help companies provide better customer service by allowing them to store and manage goods for multiple customers in one location. This can result in faster order fulfillment and better customer service overall.
4. Improved Safety
Multi-client warehousing can also provide your company with increased security.
Because you're sharing space with other companies, you can benefit from the increased security measures that are in place. Additionally, saving you the cost on hiring operations, as well as taking advantage of established safety programs created by the FMi Logistics team.
Multi-client warehousing can provide your company with a number of advantages. If you're looking for a way to improve your company's efficiency and save money, multi-client warehousing may be the right solution for you. Reach out to our team today for more information.
5. Increased Scalability and Flexibility
Multi-client warehousing can help companies scale their operations quickly and easily. By utilizing the same warehouse facility to store and manage goods for multiple customers, companies can expand their operations with minimal investment.
Another advantage of multi-client warehousing is that it can provide your company with increased flexibility. If your company's needs change, you can simply adjust the amount of space you're renting. This can help you avoid the costs associated with leasing or purchasing additional space.
Conclusion
Overall, multi-client warehousing is a cost-effective and efficient solution that can help businesses save money, improve efficiency, and provide better customer service. By utilizing this system, businesses can benefit from increased scalability and improved safety, allowing them to better meet the needs of their customers.

Distribution management is a process that helps businesses to store, distribute and deliver products or services to their customers. It is a key part of supply chain management and is vital in ensuring that products or services reach customers on time and in the right condition.
Distribution management is important for businesses because it helps ensure that products or services are delivered to customers promptly and efficiently. It also helps businesses to save costs by reducing the need for inventory and storage.
Logistics services, warehousing in Calgary, inventory, and packaging are all facets of the supply chain that distribution management is in charge of for a business.
This network is broad and includes vendors, suppliers, and manufacturers. A corporation needs a distribution management strategy to grow and endure.
What Is Distribution Management?
Monitoring the transfer of finished goods from a production facility or supplier to the final consumer is known as distribution management.
Storage, inventory management, selecting and packaging in the warehouse, and last-mile delivery are some of the processes and actions included in this process.
What Objectives Does Distribution Foster?
A company cannot promise the finest quality of service without a distribution function that monitors and enhances the interaction between producers and customers.
What Does Efficient Distribution Management Entail?
Effective distribution makes consumers' lives easier in a variety of ways, including accessibility (customers' awareness of the availability and authorization to purchase), availability (what, where, when – the appropriate product, in the right place, at the right time), and support (such as pre-sales advice, sales promotion and merchandising, etc.).
What Sort of Distribution Management Is This?
An online shop like Amazon sends goods to clients, unlike a pharmaceutical corporation, which supplies medicines to pharmacies. Delivery times and shipping costs are decreased, and customer satisfaction is raised thanks to effective distribution management.
What Benefits Does The Management of Distribution Provide?
For retailers, distribution management could be a crucial sales cycle phase. The ability of an organization to cycle things may have an impact on sales. A solid distribution management system is essential for businesses to satisfy customers and maintain competitiveness.
What Are The Four Available Distribution Strategies?
The four distribution channels are direct selling through:
Direct Selling
Intermediaries
Dual Distribution
Reverse Logistics Techniques
Companies that supervise transactions and actual product exchanges make up each channel.
What Are The Available Distribution Options?
Wholesalers, retailers, and direct-to-consumer sales are the three different distribution channels. Wholesalers are companies that function as middlemen, buying large quantities of goods from manufacturers and reselling them to merchants or, rarely, to final consumers.
What Does The Distribution Serve To Achieve?
The distribution function aims to produce or provide necessities for the significant customer populations dispersed over various locations. In addition to ensuring that the goods are delivered to customers in good shape, the distribution strives to monitor, store, and safeguard the commodities.
Conclusion
Distribution management is the process of managing the distribution of goods and services. It includes the distribution of finished products, raw materials, and other items to retailers, wholesalers, and other customers. Distribution management is important because it helps to ensure that goods and services are delivered to the right customers at the right time.

Most companies that manufacture, import, export, or transport commodities must have warehousing facilities. Although you may consider it a wasteful purchase, it can help you save money and increase your productivity.
When an order is placed, the customer journey is still ongoing. A warehouse improves inventory tracking and ensures that customers accept their orders on time, boosting sales. Read on to see the advantages of warehousing.
Improved Inventory Control
Only 8 percent of small firms keep track of their inventory. Only 24 percent of businesses have no inventory at all. This frequently results in delayed order processing, late shipping, and subpar customer service.
A centralized location for your products is provided by warehouses, making inventory management and tracking easier. You can more effectively store, ship, and distribute goods if you invest in a warehouse.
If anything is out of stock, you'll know right away, allowing you to provide customers with other options rather than making them wait a long time.
More Effective Processing and Packing
Most warehouses offer the tools and materials you need to move, store, package, and handle customer orders. Just a few to name include packing supplies, loading docks, and pallet racks.
Having everything in one place will save you both time and money. In a warehouse, businesses can pack and arrange their goods in accordance with legal requirements and customer preferences.
Flexibility is improved while logistics costs are reduced. The lack of the requirement to schedule pick-up and engage staff to handle fulfillment makes this type of business an excellent choice for distribution. We provide solutions for yourdistribution and warehousing – for any location.
Excellent Customer Service
The expected or guaranteed delivery time is something that more than 63 percent of online shoppers expect to know. Almost 88 percent would spend more for quicker delivery.
Actually, delivery speed is a crucial consideration for customers when choosing a shipping service.
You must make sure that your clients are content and engaged. If you meet their deadlines for order fulfillment, your reputation will only get better. As a result, your sales and brand reputation can suffer.
Delivery on time and effective distribution are made possible by warehousing, which raises worker productivity and enhances customer satisfaction. Additionally, it assists in minimizing mistakes and damage during the order fulfillment process.
Maintain Price Stabilization
A warehouse enables you to keep your goods on hand for times when demand is high. This lessens revenue losses and ensures price stabilization.
Conclusion
Any business must have a functional logistics system to succeed. The right mix of transportation, warehousing, and inventory management can help businesses save money, improve customer service, and stay competitive.
In addition to secure storage for perishable goods, warehousing also protects against price changes. You can rent a warehouse with refrigerators, freezers, and ideal temperature control based on your demands and type of business.
In most cases, warehouse contents are insured. This indicates that you have a greater probability of receiving recompense from your insurance provider in the event of theft, damage, or fire.

You've finally taken the plunge and started your very own eCommerce business. Congratulations! But now that you're up and running, you quickly realize that there's a lot more to this whole online business thing than you originally thought. One of the most important, and often overlooked, aspects of running a successful eCommerce business is choosing the right fulfillment company.
What is a Fulfillment Company?
A fulfillment company is a third-party logistics provider that manages the storage, packaging, and shipping of your eCommerce orders. Fulfillment companies typically have warehouses in strategic locations across the country (or even around the world), which allows them to ship orders to customers quickly and efficiently.
Choosing the right fulfillment company is critical to the success of your eCommerce business. A good fulfillment company will save you time and money by streamlining your shipping process, while a bad one can cause delays and other problems that can cost you dearly.
With so many options out there, it can be tricky to know where to start. But don't worry, we're here to help. Here are a few things to look for when choosing the right fulfillment company for your eCommerce business:
Factors to Look for in a Fulfillment Partner For Your Online Business
1. Shipping Needs
First and foremost, you'll want to make sure that your fulfillment partner offers shipping needs. Shipping seeds are a crucial part of the online sales process, and they can make a big difference in how quickly and easily your customers receive their orders.
With both inbound and outbound logistics, FMi has numerous options to suit your needs such as:
~ EDI (Electronic Data Interface)
~ Postal and courier freight management program integration for small parcel and direct-to-consumer deliveries
~ Kit Building and Co-Pack
~ FEFO and FIFO (First Expired First Out/First In First Out)
~ Reverse Logistics and return management programs
~ Final Mile Dsitribution
2. Location of the Fulfillment Warehouses
When it comes to choosing the right fulfillment partner, it pays to consider the location of their warehouses. You want to choose a company with warehouses in strategic locations, so that they can ship orders to your customers quickly and efficiently.
3. Features of the Order Fulfillment Software
Your fulfillment partner's order fulfillment software is one of the most important tools in their arsenal. This software should be able to track your orders and inventory, and it should be easy to use. After all, if your fulfillment partner can't keep track of your orders, it will be very difficult for them to fulfill them in a timely and accurate manner.
The best order fulfillment software will have a few key features. First, it should be able to track your inventory in real time. This way, you'll always know what products you have in stock, and you can plan your production accordingly. Additionally, the software should be able to generate reports on your inventory levels, so you can spot trends and make changes as needed.
4. Good Reputation
A good fulfillment partner will have a good track record of fulfilling orders quickly and accurately. They should also have a good customer service team that is ready and willing to help you with any issues that may arise5. Competitive Pricing
Finally, you'll want to ensure that your fulfillment partner offers competitive pricing. Fulfillment services can be expensive, so you'll want to make sure that you're getting good value for your money. Compare the prices of different fulfillment partners and choose the one that offers the best value for your business.
The Bottom Line: The Importance of Working with the Right Fulfillment Partner
Your fulfillment partner plays a crucial role in ensuring that your customers receive their orders on time and in good condition. With that in mind, choosing the right fulfillment partner is essential to the success of your eCommerce business. Take the time to find a partner that you can trust and that will help you grow your business.

Kicking Diabetes
If you receive a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, you may wonder, Why me? Although genes may be partly to blame, diet and lifestyle bear the brunt of the burden. Your genes act as a loaded gun; however, diet and lifestyle are what typically pull the trigger. Overindulgence and under activity, which are pervasive in our modern culture, have generated the current raging epidemics of overweight, obesity, and type 2 diabetes.
We're hardwired by nature to be attracted to the tastes of fat, sugar, and salt. When foods are eaten as they grow naturally unprocessed and whole they contain relatively low concentrations of these flavors. However, when fat, sugar and salt are concentrated and used as principal ingredients in processed foods, our innate ability to control our appetites becomes unhinged.
This is no mere coincidence. Essentially, these flavors provide such pleasure that they trigger cravings and are physically addictive. Foods that are hyperconcentrated in sugar, fat, and salt stimulate the same pleasure centers in the brain that heroin, nicotine, and alcohol do. Essentially, they provide such pleasure that they trigger cravings. To further challenge our senses, portion sizes keep expanding. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average restaurant meal is four times larger than it was in the 1950s. Not surprisingly, evidence confirms that as portion sizes increase, people eat more. For anyone trying to make a living selling food, addictive flavors and larger portions means return customers and rising sales.
To add insult to injury, the amount of physical activity we get today has dwindled dramatically since the 1950s. Every possible convenience has been developed to help reduce energy expenditure. Even if people wanted to increase their physical activity, many neighborhoods lack sidewalks and safe places for exercise. In such an environment, it's a wonder how anyone is able to maintain a healthy body weight.

Why Are My Balls Sticky After A Shower?
Sticky testicles after a shower can be a common concern among men. It can be uncomfortable and embarrassing, and it can also be a sign of an underlying medical condition.
In this article, we will explore the potential causes of sticky testicles after showering and discuss ways to prevent and treat this problem.
Causes of Sticky Testicles After Showering
Sweat
One of the main causes of sticky testicles after showering is sweat. The testicles are located in a warm and moist area of the body, which makes them more susceptible to sweating.
When sweat mixes with bacteria and dead skin cells, it can create an odor and make the skin feel sticky.
Soaps and Body Washes
Certain soaps and body washes can also cause irritation and dryness, leading to stickiness. These products often contain fragrances, dyes, and other harsh chemicals that can strip the skin of its natural oils, making it more prone to dryness and irritation.
Medical Conditions
Medical conditions such as eczema or fungal infections can also cause sticky testicles after showering. Eczema is a skin condition characterized by dry, itchy, and inflamed skin, while fungal infections such as jock itch can cause redness, itching, and a burning sensation in the affected area.
Clothing
Tight-fitting underwear or clothing can trap sweat and create a breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to stickiness. Wearing loose-fitting clothing and breathable fabrics, such as cotton, can help prevent this problem by allowing for proper ventilation.
As you can see, there are several potential causes of sticky testicles after showering, from sweat and soaps to medical conditions and clothing.
How to Prevent Sticky Testicles After Showering
Showering with warm water
Hot water can strip the skin of its natural oils, making it more prone to dryness and irritation. Warm water, on the other hand, can help to cleanse the skin without stripping it of its natural oils.
Using a mild, fragrance-free soap
Using a mild, fragrance-free soap can help prevent irritation and dryness, leading to stickiness. These types of soaps are less likely to contain harsh chemicals that can strip the skin of its natural oils.
Drying off thoroughly
Drying off thoroughly after showering is also important. Moisture trapped in the skin can create a breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to stickiness. Make sure to dry the testicles thoroughly after showering, using a clean towel.
Wearing loose-fitting clothing and breathable fabrics
Wearing loose-fitting clothing and breathable fabrics, such as cotton, can help prevent sticky testicles after showering. These types of fabrics allow for proper ventilation and can help keep the testicles dry and cool.
Maintaining good hygiene
Maintaining good hygiene is also important. This includes changing out of sweaty clothing, washing the genitals regularly, and keeping the area clean and dry.
When to See a DoctorConclusion
In conclusion, sticky testicles after showering can be caused by a variety of factors, including sweat, soaps, and medical conditions. By understanding the potential causes and taking steps to prevent and treat the problem, you can help keep your testicles clean, dry, and comfortable.
Remember, if you have any concerns about your testicles, it is always best to seek medical attention.
Is it normal for my testicles to feel sticky after a shower?
It is not uncommon for testicles to feel sticky after a shower, as sweat and bacteria can mix and create a sticky feeling. However, if this is accompanied by other symptoms such as itching or redness, it may be a sign of an underlying medical condition and it's best to see a doctor.
Can tight-fitting underwear cause sticky testicles?
Yes, tight-fitting underwear can trap sweat and create a breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to stickiness. Wearing loose-fitting clothing and breathable fabrics, such as cotton, can help prevent this problem by allowing for proper ventilation.
Are there any over the counter products that can help prevent sticky testicles?
Using a mild, fragrance-free soap can help prevent irritation and dryness, leading to stickiness. Moisturizing lotions or creams specifically formulated for men's private parts can also be used.
However, it is always best to consult with a doctor before using any over the counter products.
Will showering with cold water help prevent sticky testicles?
Showering with cold water may help to reduce sweating, but it may not be as effective as using warm water. Cold water can cause the skin to dry out and become itchy, which can lead to more problems.
Should I be worried if my testicles feel sticky after a shower?However, if the stickiness is just a temporary discomfort, it is most likely not a cause for concern. | eng | e6564aeb-be67-43e6-afe1-1eb314e4da8d | https://www.exbath.com/why-are-my-balls-sticky-after-a-shower/ |

Why USWNT star Megan Rapinoe doesn't sing the national anthem
Megan Rapinoe during the national anthem before the United States women's national team's first game at the 2019 World Cup. (Getty)
Megan Rapinoe doesn't sing the national anthem. This, to followers of soccer, is not news. Rapinoe hasn't belted out the "Star Spangled Banner" since 2016. She no longer puts her hand over her heart. As she told Yahoo Sports last month, she probably never will again.
But Rapinoe's point is precisely that we don't all appreciate those freedoms. Many minorities and members of marginalized groups don't.
As she wrote weeks after she first knelt, her protest was about "over-policing" and "racial profiling," about "ensur[ing] that freedom is afforded to everyone in this country."
Her choice to not sing the anthem is essentially an extension of that. U.S. Soccer eventually adopted a rule prohibiting players from kneeling before national team games. Rapinoe, who calls the rule "cowardly" and "backwards," now clasps her hands behind her back and stares straight ahead, expressionless, instead.
"I haven't experienced police brutality, or racism, in that way," she told Yahoo Sports of the inspiration for her protests. "But knowing that it obviously happens, and knowing that it's a very real thing, and that there's something I can do to lend to that movement, or lend to those voices, or to support them, that's important. You don't have to understand everything fully in a personal way. That's impossible. But that doesn't mean it's not the right thing. It doesn't mean that you can't believe what people are saying."
Rapinoe believes them, and believes many problems at the crux of Kaepernick's protest remain unsolved. Which is why she no longer sings.
Back in October, during our first interview for the feature, I asked her what, if anything, could compel her to sing again.
"It would take a lot," she responded. "It would take criminal justice reform. It would take the huge inequality gap that we have to be much better. It would take a lot of progress in LGBTQ rights. We just have such a disparity in this country in so many different ways, inequality in so many different ways."
And that is why, as she told Yahoo Sports: "I'll probably never put my hand over my heart. I'll probably never sing the national anthem again | eng | 0a30ef6f-e829-4d81-a8a3-bf70f9748d22 | https://sports.yahoo.com/megan-rapinoe-national-anthem-sing-us-soccer-world-cup-211549494.html |
I'll start it off with Syria. I strongly feel NATO forces should attempt some sort of peacekeeping mission in Syria, however unlike Libya, Syria is not a major exporter of oil, or other valuable resources to the privileged world, thus NATO hasn't had an incentive to launch a mission. | eng | 773330de-383a-4fdb-a3f3-97d6b9d82c56 | https://www.fsegames.eu/forum/index.php?PHPSESSID=9dhmk1nn16pc4isomi2hrd038s&action=profile;area=showposts;sa=messages;u=5542 |

Over Perceiving Threat, Under Perceiving Safety
Why was I walking around as if someone or something was about to harm me? Another time, a friend made a comment that made me feel insecure and BAM! There it was again. I felt like my friend was a threat. My body couldn't differentiate from an emotional or physical threat, it only knew there was a threat and I needed to be ready.
Perception and Process
For years I walked around this way, unsure of what safety felt like in my body. In Polyvagal Theory, the perception of threat and the process of our brains assessing the situation for safety or threat goes beyond our awareness is called neuroception. Neuroception was first introduced by Dr. Stephen Porges. This research helped to understand how we, as people, can over perceive threats and under perceive safety.
When we have experiences that do not promote safety, we can begin to detect threats when they may not be there. We don't consciously think "Wow, that red car is getting really close and last week I saw a red car crash into someone. I should move away from the red car because it could be a threat." What our brains actually do is constantly scan our surroundings and if we see a red car merge towards us and it doesn't cross the line, but we swerve and move out of the way because our brain has already processed that the red car as a threat. Even though, in this example the red car was not an actual threat.
We take in information all the time and sometimes we don't even realize the amount of information our brains are taking in. That's why when we start to notice a pattern (or friends or family start to notice a pattern) of behaviors such as being overly worried or easily panicked, we stop and examine why our brains are telling us the world around us is not safe. Sometimes we may not recognize the triggers that precede this response, and many people often ask themselves "why did I react that way?".
Identifying Triggers
When we start to identify triggers, it can help change reactions to them. Understanding why we feel a certain way gives a sense of perspective and lessens the confusion around them. Recognizing triggers as they happen can also enables the use of conscious coping mechanisms.
Sometimes we may need additional support from a therapist to help us recognize triggers. A therapist can help you safely process through triggers and the trauma behind them as well as help give you resources to needed to cope through these moments. No matter the reason we may be over perceiving threat and under perceiving safety the Dawn Institute is here to help. | eng | 64f85905-9f26-46ed-a5f7-346187f91806 | https://dawninstituteaz.com/over-perceiving-threat-under-perceiving-safety/ |
I've been making P2 for awhile, selling it to my corp at full est value. It's a good cashflow.
I decided to try making P3 so I setup a planet to make Cryoprotectant Solution.
The ingredients are 10x each Fertilizer, Test Cultures, and Synthetic Oil (all of which I can manufacture). That will produce 3 units of Cryo per cycle.
I noticed the total value of all three ingredients is 376,500 isk (i.e. presuming I sell the ingredients instead of using them for P3) (before sales tax and fees).
The value of 3 units of Cryo is 473,400.
(all based on Jita best Buyer price)
That would be a profit on the Cryo over the ingredients of 96,900 isk or about 25%.
While 25% isn't a shabby profit, it also really isn't a killing in the market.
So how is it that P3 is considered sooooooooooooo much more porfitable over P2?
I would estimate that most people take the hauling effort into account and P3 should be a lot better value/m³ that you have to bring to the market hubs. Not everyone sells directly to his corp in the PI system.
The ingredients are 10x each Fertilizer, Test Cultures, and Synthetic Oil (all of which I can manufacture). That will produce 3 units of Cryo per cycle.
Cryoprotectant Solution is actually useful in Industry via Blueprints. It is used in every BPC of low, mid, and high grade fancy implant sets. In addition to making next tier PI. That drives up demand for it.
Fertilizer, Test Cultures, and Synthetic Oil are almost* never used in blueprint industry. Only to make next tier PI. So not as much to drive demand.
*There might be 1 tiny exception.
(If I remember right, a year or so ago I started producing those implant BPCs and setting up the Cryoprotectant PI chain I think helped eliminate a lot of ISK capital involved, but it was definitely a limiting factor. I stopped producing them because I didn't want to scale up the PI chain and I didn't want to buy Cryo off the market with how expensive it is)
If you sell millions of it, yes of course that can be a good profit. What do you expect? That making P3 out of P2 doubles the value? Did you know that most real life companies make good profits on products that only give them a net profit of a few dollars or even cents per unit?
I mean one guy already answered it, you are not only making 25% more it is way easier to haul that ■■■■ to Jita and sell it. If you would rather do the easier thing and sell the p2 to your corp then do that, 25% margins are actually a lot in this game.
What you're asking is if 125 is more than 100, which of course it is. It's 25% more. Additional profit is just that, additional profit. What you should be asking is whether or not it's worth the extra manufacturing setup, and to that, the only real response is for you to crunch the numbers. Can you make enough P3 with the facilities required to outweigh the loss of P2 you could be making using those Command Center resources?
The other thing no one talked about specifically is time. The volume of the P3 is smaller, but if you're selling to corp and not hauling, then its just a simple matter of what you can make more of using the limited number of CPU/PG you can access. However, if you're going to haul it to Jita yourself, the volume the products take up will largely affect the time needed to move it. PI, as we all know, is a very passive income stream. The income you can gain while waiting for production can be greatly reduced if you're spending more time moving PI commodities than necessary. You can spend hours moving products when you could spend minutes moving smaller volume products and spend the rest of the time ratting, exploring, etc.
PI seems very simple on the surface, but calculating a big profit, you must take into account what you're doing with the time that you're not in PI Clicker. | eng | cdbbdb32-520f-4c91-adc5-b74badacfb42 | https://forums.eveonline.com/t/how-is-this-pi-profitable/409144 |

Protect Christmas Decorations and Pest Control Tips
You can protect your holiday decorations by ensuring they are pest-free while stored in the attic, basement, or any other storage area until next year. Christmas decorations can be a breeding ground for rodents and other pests. We have compiled some pest control tips for storing your decorations without having problems with pesky critters next year.
Pest Control Tips For Storing Christmas Decorations
1) Mice love dried fruits, seeds, and other natural materials. It is best to keep them in plastic containers. After the holidays, throw out any natural decorations such as candy canes, gingerbread houses, and natural wreaths.
2) Avoid cardboard as a nesting material. Instead, store artificial Christmas trees and other decorations in plastic bags or containers. This applies to all Christmas decorations.
3) Check all decorations to make sure they aren't broken or won't be used next year, and then throw them out.
4) To prevent moisture, wash linens and other fabrics.
5) Before you load containers into your garage, basement, attic, or other storage space, inspect them thoroughly and remove any debris that could harbor mice.
6) Keep holiday candles separate. Unwanted guests can be attracted to candles' scent. This problem can be solved by placing the candles in an area that isn't exposed to heat extremes (e.g. attics or sheds). To prevent the candles from melting or changing color, wrap them in plastic | eng | a29fcf31-6b9a-4d28-8111-830a8203f8d5 | https://zappestcontrolinc.blogspot.com/2022/12/protect-christmas-decorations-and-pest.html |
Spanish Moss Meaning, Healing, and Magical Uses
Welcome to the Masters' Grimoire of Magical Herbs page for Spanish Moss. Here you will learn everything you've ever wanted to know about this herb including Spanish Moss' magical uses, Spanish Moss physical healing, and emotional healing properties, plus its use in meditation, lore and legends, and much more!
Introduction to Spanish Moss
Neither from Spain. nor a moss, Spanish moss is an unusual herb. Associated with the Hawaiian Goddess of Fire, Pele, and favored by Arael, The Angel of the Birds, this is a herb of many magical uses.
It is a herb of rest, of care, of gentleness, of comfort, and of relaxation.While certainly unusual in its growing habit, hanging from tree limbs in the warm southern climes, it is one well worth getting to know.
Spanish Moss seems to have been named for its appearance to a beard. We call it that because one Native American name for this plant translated to 'tree beard'.And the plant, often being gray and having down from a tree reminded the French settlers of the beards of the Spanish conquistadors,
They called it a name that translate to 'Spanish Beard'. The name Spanish moss just evolved from these names.It is actually a flowering plant called an angiosperm, in the family Bromeliaceae (the bromeliads).It grows hanging from tree branches in full sun through partial shade.
The scientific name for Spanish Moss is Tillandsia usneoides. It is an epiphytic flowering plant that usually grows on large tropical tress. It is native to most of the southern United States, Mexico and Central America although it has been cultivated elsewhere such as in Hawaii and Australia. You can easily find it in Florida where it is plentiful. The sacred number of Spanish Moss is 9.
Notes from the Masters
When I hear the words Spanish moss, I always have this picture in my head of moss hanging in the southern bayous of Louisiana and groves in Florida.
~ Master Tess

Healing with Spanish Moss
Spanish Moss Physical Health Benefits
Spanish Moss is a comfort, an oasis in disguise.It drapes from the trees giving off a feeling of ease, a feeling of pure relaxation and of seemingly unending afternoons of just letting the afternoon consume us.The healing of Spanish Moss is a mix of physical and mental healing.In a physical way just the sight of the moss is almost like taking a nap.Your body relaxes and the aches and pains of life seem to ease as the moss gently sways in the breeze.A summer afternoon under a mossy tree is the essence of the good things in life.
Several studies undertaken on animals in laboratories have been found that oral extracts from Spanish moss are helpful in lowering the levels of blood cholesterol.In animal studies, extracts of Spanish Moss reduced the amount of time for wound healing. Common skin bacteria such as S. aureus, S. epidermis, and P. aeruginosa pose problems because of their ability to cause infection in an open wound, ultimately slowing the healing process. Organic extracts of Spanish Moss produce growth limiting the activity against each of these microbes.
Locals traditionally used Spanish Moss as an herbal remedy to treat all sorts of ailments, either by brewing it into teas or stuffing it in shoes.
Modern studies indicate that extracts from Spanish moss could aid in healing wounds and preventing skin infections, thanks to antibacterial properties, and it may even help reduce blood sugar.
Spanish moss was also used in Native American sweat baths for healing purposes. The patient was first wrapped in several layers of moss, and then positioned across a low cane bed. An earthenware pot of herbs was set to slowly simmer below the bed, which then caused the patient to sweat.
Spiritual Healing with Spanish Moss
Spanish Moss is good for your spirit. It brings the energy of soothing summer days and evenings in the woods and parks to your soul.It is an easy herb to handle, and one that seems made for comfort.It does have a practical use as a cushion or pillow and it seems to do the same for the spirit.
In Hoodoo, Spanish moss is used in love and revenge workings. Most often it's stuffed in doll babies (poppets) with other herbs and ingredients to either draw love or exact revenge. It's also put in bottles of War water (a nasty potion used to take down one's enemy). Therefore, Spanish moss magic properties include love, healing, and revenge/justice in the Hoodoo tradition.
Notes from the Masters
To me Spanish Moss is St Augustine, beaches, and summer breezes, and sitting in the shade letting the world go by. I think there is some of that feeling in the moss that makes it a special magical herb.
~ Master Hank

Notes from the Masters
Living in the South, Spanish Moss isn't hard to come by! I often pluck some from nearby trees and use it in love and healing spells. I also like to keep a small handful in a dish by my front door, along with a chunk of Obsidian, to keep unwanted, negative energies at bay.
~ Master Nicole
Angels Associated with Spanish Moss
Spanish Moss is associated with the following angels:
Af- the angel that aids you while dealing with Anger.
Arael The Angel of the Birds.
We find it interesting that Spanish Moss is associated with Ariel, the Angel of the Birds. We have watched the birds with the Spanish Moss around St Augustine in Florida. It seems to be a synergistic relationship. The birds help spread the Moss and the moss holds the insects that the birds are hunting.
Spanish Moss and the Goddess
Forest & Kim Starr, CC BY 3.0 , via Wikimedia Commons
Eventually making its way to humid climes around the world, Spanish Moss traveled to Hawaii, where it is often called "Pele's hair"after the Goddess Pele.Pele is the Goddess of Fire Pele was born of the spirit Haumea in what is now know as Tahiti. She was a wanderer and set out with her little sister Hi'iaka, (in the form of an egg) under her arm in a canoe to what is now Hawaii. The story is she was pursued by Na-maka-o-kaha'i, her sister, the Goddess of the Seas because Pele had seduced Na-maka-o-kaha'i, husband. Pele, the legend tells, landed first on Kauai, but her sister flooded her fire pits, so she continued on until she found a place high on the top of Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii. She lives there still.
The Hawaiians have many stories of Pele and her antics. Pele, according to legend was quite a lover, but a difficult one. The lava fields around Mauna Loa are filled with lava pillars – the remains of lovers that displeased her. There is a lesson here about fury and a woman scorned.

The Pain of Deferred Compensation Plans
Staff Writer
The Ledger
Not frightened enough by the dwindling balance in your retirement accounts in the last year?
Here's a nightmare for you: Imagine waking up one morning to discover that your employer is bankrupt and the money you have set aside in your deferred compensation plan belongs to the company's creditors.
Unfortunately, this possibility is a real one for employees of companies like Chrysler. A 401(k) plan is safe from those your company owes money. But creditors can - and will - go after deferred compensation plans, which allow high-level employees and many others earning more than $100,000 to $200,000 or so annually to contribute money that then grows on a tax-deferred basis for use sometime later. And if a company goes bankrupt, employees may end up with nothing.
As brand-name companies like Lehman Brothers, Chrysler and Filene's Basement declare bankruptcy and scores more consider it, the number of employees facing this loss is probably going to grow.
HOW THE PLANS WORK
There are many kinds of deferred compensation plans, but the most common allow employees to contribute money from their salary or bonuses to an account where their balances grow on a tax-deferred basis. So you don't pay taxes on the money you defer from your pay, and there are no taxes to pay while it grows. The tax man only shows up once you take the money out.
The big idea here is that rather than paying 28 percent or more in income taxes on that money now, you can take the money out later in the hopes of paying less income tax then. While employers don't advertise these accounts as retirement plans per se, many people use them with the intention of leaving the money until they stop working.
Companies are only allowed to invite a select group of highly paid workers to participate. While there are no strict rules, it's usually only the top 5 or 10 percent of earners who get in. There are no legal limits on how much you can save, though employers often impose a cap.
WHO SHOULD PARTICIPATE?
Bankruptcy issues aside for a moment, there have been many attractions to deferred compensation plans, at least until recently. Sales people, for example, who had an unexpectedly big earnings year could defer income until later, when they would probably pay lower taxes.
Others might have wanted to lower their income for different reasons, ranging from financial aid eligibility to planning for a forthcoming leave of absence. The plans are also a form of forced savings. In recent years, however, as the looming cloud of Medicare and Social Security has grown ever larger, it's become less certain that taxes for retirees will be much lower a decade or three from now. Uncertainty around tax rates has only gotten higher since President Barack Obama has taken office and the size of the stimulus packages has grown.
So all of a sudden, paying income taxes now, investing in mutual funds in taxable accounts and then hoping that capital gains tax rates remain low doesn't seem like a half-bad bet.
WHAT HAPPENS IN BANKRUPTCY?
Even though employees enrolled in deferred compensation plans are in fact creditors in a bankruptcy, there are many others who, by law, stand ahead of them in line at the corporate asset trough. As a result, there often isn't much, if anything, left for them by the time they reach the front.
WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?
The most natural response would be to simply take your money out of the plan. But a deferred compensation plan is not like, say, an Individual Retirement Account, where you can withdraw at will and simply pay taxes and a penalty if need be. While the rules are complicated, contributions to a deferred compensation plan tend to be locked up for at least two years, and you'd have to make a decision about what you're going to do at the end of that second year at least one tax year beforehand.
You could also quit your job, if your plan allows you to withdraw your funds upon departure. It sounds a bit extreme, but if you have hundreds of thousands of dollars in the plan and are close to retirement age, it might be worth it to get out before your company declares bankruptcy, even if it does mean you'll face a sizable tax bill.
If your company tries to reorganize in Chapter 11, all may not be lost. The company and its creditors may decide it's better to keep the plan intact so that employees are willing to stick around and try to save the firm. Then again, this could infuriate creditors who do not want to reward the people who ran the company into the ground.
If all else fails, sue and say that the deferred compensation plan was never legitimate in the first place. If you can prove, for example, that your employer let too many people into the plan, you might have a shot at getting your money back.
But betting on winning a lawsuit is not a particularly good financial plan. | eng | 6ba3c803-11c0-4f0a-a6eb-c866b832f84c | https://www.theledger.com/story/news/2009/05/13/the-pain-of-deferred-compensation-plans/26177642007/ |
How to get from Corfu to Paxos
To get to Paxos, a beautiful island located in Greece, you can follow these general steps:
Flight to Greece: If you are traveling internationally, you will need to book a flight to Greece. The most common arrival airports are Athens International Airport (ATH) or Thessaloniki Airport (SKG).

These 7 misunderstandings, everyone who needs to lose weight, you must know in advance, the doctor tells you
These 7 misunderstandings, everyone who needs to lose weight, you must know in advance, the doctor tells you
When it comes to losing weight, many people have these perceptions in their minds:
It is difficult to lose weight because of age
To lose weight is to eat less, and to be vegetarian
To lose weight, you must not eat...
Eat more ..., the weight can only be lost
In order to lose weight successfully, I decided to skip dinner today
and the fact is slapped in the face! Check out these common weight loss myths, and you've stepped on a few.
Myth 1: Weight loss is difficult because of age
Once, it was widely believed that middle-aged people tend to gain weight and gain weight , because the metabolic rate decreases, making it difficult to control weight. But in fact, it's not. A recent study from the well-known academic journal "Science" showed that:
Through the life cycle, the metabolic law presents an "increase-decline-stable- "Slow decline" pattern, rather than the "metabolic rate is high in youth and declines after middle age" as we once thought.
Infant metabolic rate was the highest in all life stages, followed by early childhood.
20s to 50s, that is, middle-aged and young, energy consumption is the most stable.
After age 60, metabolic rate begins to slowly decrease.
So, you see, you and I, who have just entered middle age, have a relatively stable metabolic rate, just like adolescence. So, why people generally get fat after entering middle age, the reason is still because of "lazy + greedy".
Myth 2: Weight loss is dieting
NO! NO! NO! The core of successful weight loss is to form a calorie deficit. What's the meaning? That is, the total calories we consume every day must be less than the total calories we burn every day. This is what we usually call "shut your mouth and stretch your legs". Keeping your mouth shut doesn't simply make you diet, it's about choosing foods that are low in calories and high in nutritional value. A healthy, effective and consistent way to lose weight will not leave you hungry. It is not long-term to lose weight by eating on an empty stomach. Even if it is temporarily successful, it is easy to rebound.
Myth 3: Losing weight requires a vegetarian diet
No! Simply vegetarian, the weight loss effect will not last, and it is harmful to the health of the body. A human body needs macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, as well as micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals, to function healthily. Long-term lack of any of the above nutrients can make us sick. To lose weight, what we need to do is to distribute these nutrients reasonably, which can not only satisfy appetite, but also ensure health and reduce weight.
Myth 4: To lose weight, you must eat / not eat...
When you decide to lose weight, there must be many voices Let me tell you:
This coffee is very effective for weight loss!
Cucumber is a weight loss artifact!
During the weight loss period, no dumplings, no snacks, no...
To lose weight, in fact, there is no food that must be eaten. There is no food that cannot be eaten. The key is how to reasonably mix the foods you want to eat, so as to ensure a comprehensive nutrition while creating an energy gap. For example, the total calories you have eaten today have far exceeded the standard, and you can consume the excess calories with a cup of coffee? You think too much!
Myth 5: Lose weight, the faster the better
Many people decide to lose weight and want to find a way to lose weight in a short time Quickly reduce the guilt, and then... once and for all! However, losing weight too fast is very harmful: 01: It is easy to rebound and lose a lot of weight in a short period of time. Generally, excessive dieting or drugs are used, no matter which one, it will not persist. Once stopped, it's easy to bounce back. 02: Muscle is easy to lose weight and lose weight. What we want to lose is the fat in the body and preserve the strength of the muscles as much as possible. But if you lose weight too fast, you will lose more muscle while losing fat. 03: Skin is prone to sagging. Did you know that fat cells have a characteristic, that is. High energy density, large volume, low weight and low water storage. You see, fat cells take up a lot of volume. If you lose a lot in a short period of time, the skin will not be so tight. The flesh on our body is not eaten in one go, and similarly, the excess body fat cannot be lost in one go. Losing weight can't be greedy for speed, and long-term flow is the kingly way. At present, the internationally recommended and healthy weight loss rate is: 1-2 pounds per week or 5-10% of the weight loss base within 3-6 months.
Myth 6: Weight Loss During Weight Loss
Many people feel that once you start losing weight, you should lose weight every day Decrease, as soon as the weight rebounds by a pound, he begins to doubt his life and enters a state of dieting for a day. This may only be a very ideal state, but in real life, a relatively normal weight change should be as follows: throughout the weight loss period, the weight will fluctuate, but as long as the overall weight is decreasing.
Myth 7: Losing weight has nothing to do with when to sleep
Many people think that sleep and weight loss are two different things and have nothing to do with it. It is even believed that the later you go to bed, the more energy you spend, and it can also help you lose weight. The reality is: Sleeping too little can make you fat. Previous studies have found that:
When sleep time is shortened, energy intake during the day will increase, and weight will also increase.
Therefore, insufficient sleep is considered to be an important risk factor for obesity. So, sleep well, you can really "lie down"! Obesity is essentially a lifestyle disease. To lose weight, we must know what is healthy eating and what is a healthy lifestyle. Only by developing good eating and exercise habits can we live forever Maintain a slim figure and plenty of energy. My name is Xiaoguo, a second-born mother with 10+ years of medical experience. I am losing weight recently. If you want to discuss parenting and weight loss knowledge with Xiaoguo, you are welcome to follow Xiaoguo.

are blue whales smart?
Unique Characteristics of Blue Whales
Blue whales, the magnificent giants of the ocean, possess a variety of unique characteristics that set them apart from other marine species. Their sheer size alone is awe-inspiring – reaching lengths of up to 100 feet and weighing in at a staggering 200 tons. In fact, they hold the title for being the largest animals to have ever existed on Earth. With their sleek bodies and elongated, tapered shape, blue whales effortlessly glide through the water, captivating all who are lucky enough to witness their graceful movements.
One of the most remarkable features of blue whales is their distinct coloring. Despite their name, these majestic creatures are not actually blue all over. Rather, their upper body is a mottled blue-gray, while their underside tends to be lighter in color. This unique coloration provides them with excellent camouflage – from above, they blend seamlessly with the dark depths of the ocean, while from below, their lighter belly helps them remain inconspicuous. This adaptation allows blue whales to navigate their vast marine habitats with relative ease, enabling them to stealthily approach their prey while minimizing the risk of being detected. • Blue whales are the largest animals to have ever existed on Earth, reaching lengths of up to 100 feet and weighing 200 tons. • Their sleek bodies and elongated shape allow them to effortlessly glide through the water with grace. • Blue whales have a distinct coloring – their upper body is mottled blue-gray while their underside is lighter in color. • This unique coloration provides excellent camouflage, allowing them to blend seamlessly with the dark depths of the ocean from above, and remain inconspicuous from below. • The ability to camouflage helps blue whales navigate their marine habitats easily and approach prey stealthily without being detected.
Blue Whale Communication Methods
Blue whales, the largest animals on Earth, have a fascinating way of communicating with each other. Instead of using vocalizations like most marine animals, blue whales use low-frequency sounds that can travel across vast distances in the ocean. These sounds, often referred to as "songs," are produced by the males to attract females and establish their dominance.
The songs of blue whales can be heard for miles and are composed of a series of different notes and sequences. Researchers believe that these songs are not only used for mating purposes but also for navigation and social interaction among the members of their pod. The unique ability of blue whales to communicate in this way sets them apart from other marine species and showcases their extraordinary adaptability in the underwater world. • Blue whales use low-frequency sounds to communicate with each other. • These sounds, known as "songs," can travel across vast distances in the ocean. • The songs are produced by male blue whales to attract females and establish dominance. • Blue whale songs consist of different notes and sequences. • Researchers believe that these songs serve purposes beyond mating, such as navigation and social interaction within their pod.
Blue Whale Feeding Habits
Blue whales, the largest animals on Earth, are known for their exceptional feeding habits. These magnificent creatures, whose diet consists primarily of small crustaceans called krill, exhibit unique techniques to capture their prey. With mouths wide open, they swim through patches of krill-rich waters, engulfing massive quantities of water and the tiny organisms within it. As the water is expelled through their baleen plates, the krill are trapped and consumed, providing the blue whales with the necessary sustenance to grow and survive.
One astonishing aspect of blue whale feeding habits is their immense appetite. These gentle giants can consume up to four tons of krill in a single day! To put that into perspective, it is equivalent to roughly 40 million individual crustaceans. This voracious feeding behavior allows blue whales to gain the energy required to maintain their enormous size and support their other biological functions. However, such substantial quantities of krill consumption also raise concerns about the impact on the overall marine ecosystem and the availability of food resources for other species. • Blue whales have a unique feeding technique where they swim through krill-rich waters with their mouths wide open. • They engulf massive quantities of water and the tiny organisms within it. • The water is then expelled through their baleen plates, trapping and consuming the krill. • Blue whales can consume up to four tons of krill in a single day, equivalent to roughly 40 million individual crustaceans. • This immense appetite allows them to gain the energy required to maintain their enormous size and support their biological functions. • However, concerns arise about the impact on the marine ecosystem and availability of food resources for other species.
Blue Whale Migration Patterns
Blue whales are known for their incredible migration patterns. These majestic creatures travel thousands of miles each year in search of food and suitable breeding grounds. The migration routes of blue whales vary depending on their location and the time of year.
During the summer months, blue whales can be found in colder, nutrient-rich waters near the poles. They take advantage of the abundance of food, including krill and small fish, to fuel their massive bodies. As winter approaches, these gentle giants start their epic journey towards warmer waters in the tropics. Aided by their powerful tails, they navigate through vast oceans, crossing areas of open sea and even entering narrower coastal regions. This migration allows blue whales to avoid the harsh conditions of the colder seasons, ensuring their survival and reproductive success.
Migration patterns of blue whales have intrigued scientists for years. Researchers have been studying the factors that drive these migratory behaviors, including the impact of environmental changes, food availability, and mating opportunities. By tracking the movements of individual blue whales using satellite tags and acoustic monitoring tools, scientists have gained valuable insights into their migration routes and the timing of their movements. Understanding these patterns not only helps us appreciate the complexity of their lives but also has conservation implications, as it enables us to identify important feeding and breeding areas that need protection. • Blue whales travel thousands of miles each year in search of food and suitable breeding grounds. • Migration routes vary depending on location and time of year. • During summer, blue whales can be found in colder, nutrient-rich waters near the poles. • They take advantage of abundant food sources like krill and small fish. • As winter approaches, blue whales migrate towards warmer waters in the tropics. • They navigate vast oceans using their powerful tails and even enter narrower coastal regions. • This migration helps them avoid harsh conditions during colder seasons for survival and reproductive success. • Scientists have been studying factors that drive migratory behaviors including environmental changes, food availability, and mating opportunities. • Tracking individual blue whale movements with satellite tags provides valuable insights into migration routes and timing. • Understanding these patterns aids conservation efforts by identifying important feeding and breeding areas that need protection
Blue Whale Social Behavior
Blue whales are known for their intriguing social behavior, which sets them apart from many other marine species. These magnificent creatures often travel in small groups called pods, consisting of a few individuals. Within these pods, blue whales exhibit a variety of social interactions that facilitate their communication and cooperation.
One fascinating aspect of blue whale social behavior is their use of vocalizations, known as songs, to communicate with one another. These songs, characterized by low-frequency sounds that can travel long distances underwater, serve as a means of attracting potential mates and establishing dominance within the pod. By producing these unique and complex songs, blue whales are able to communicate not only the presence of a nearby pod but also their strength and reproductive fitness. This form of communication is vital for their social bonding and navigation in the vast oceanic environment. It is truly remarkable how these massive creatures have evolved such intricate skills for maintaining social connections and coordinating their activities. • Blue whales often travel in small groups called pods • They use vocalizations, known as songs, to communicate with each other • These songs attract potential mates and establish dominance within the pod • The low-frequency sounds can travel long distances underwater • Blue whales communicate not only the presence of a nearby pod but also their strength and reproductive fitness • This form of communication is vital for their social bonding and navigation in the oceanic environment
Blue Whales and their Intelligence
With the largest brain of any known animal, blue whales exhibit remarkable intelligence. Their ability to problem solve, remember information, and communicate complex ideas suggests a higher level of cognition than previously recognized. Researchers have documented instances where blue whales demonstrate decision-making skills, such as adapting their feeding techniques to changes in prey availability. This adaptive behavior shows an impressive level of cognitive flexibility in these majestic creatures. Despite their intellect, much remains unknown about the extent of blue whales' intelligence and how it compares to other marine species. Scientists continue to study these awe-inspiring creatures, seeking to unravel the secrets of their remarkable minds. • Blue whales have the largest brain of any known animal, indicating their potential for high intelligence. • They exhibit problem-solving abilities and can remember information, suggesting a higher level of cognition. • Blue whales are capable of communicating complex ideas, showcasing their advanced cognitive skills. • Researchers have observed instances where blue whales adapt their feeding techniques to changes in prey availability, demonstrating decision-making skills and cognitive flexibility. • Despite their impressive intellect, there is still much unknown about the extent of blue whales' intelligence compared to other marine species. • Scientists are actively studying blue whales to uncover more about their remarkable minds and unlock the secrets behind their intelligence.
Studies on Blue Whale Intelligence
Blue whale intelligence has been a subject of great interest among researchers and scientists. Numerous studies have been conducted to unravel the mysteries behind their cognitive abilities. One such study focused on their problem-solving skills, revealing their remarkable ability to adapt to various challenges. Through a series of experiments, blue whales have demonstrated their capacity to learn and apply new strategies, showcasing their ingenuity in problem-solving situations.
Additionally, studies have examined the social dynamics and communication patterns of blue whales, shedding light on their complex social structures.

Works of Vedanayaka Sastri reveal the changes sweeping across Tanjore and Tamil Nadu during the time and the advent and spread of Tamil Protestantism. His published works appear towards the mid-nineteenth century.
Share this Article :
Works of Vedanayaka Sastri appeared in print only towards the mid-nineteenth century. The first that is heard of his published works is in 1853, when the American missionary E. Webb published a collection of original Tamil hymns, crediting Sastri with the authorship of most of the hymns. It appears that Sastri's hymns were transmitted mainly through hand-copied manuscripts and an oral performance tradition. Sastri's longer works, too, were published at irregular intervals, mostly after 1850, and under a number of sponsorships, including the SPCK Tract Society, the Madras Religious Tract Society, and individual Tamil Evangelical patrons. For instance, the poem Nanavula, written in 1835, was not published till 1885, and in a letter of 1862 Sastri thanks a 'Police Commissioner Yesudasa Pillai of Tandalaiyarpet, Madras, for undertaking to publish the first part of Jepamalai the liturgical song-collection.
During the poet's lifetime, he and his sons, his daughter, and singers and accompanists performed the longer works in public musical-discourses. After his death, the sons and grandchildren carried on the tradition of such performances. Over time, Sastri's hymns re-entered the church and today they continue to be sung by Tamil Protestants in church and in personal devotions, while his major poems are noticed in histories of Tamil literature.
The majority of the nearly thirty-five titles among Sastri's writings that are likely to have been prose works are controversial tracts. Some of these are records of debates with Muslim, Hindu and Catholic theologians and scholars and others are original prose arguments written in the contexts of particular controversies. It has been noted that the prose of religious debate and controversy was developed and put to new uses in the Indian regional languagesin the colonial context, in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. Sastri was one of the intellectuals who participated in this transformation of a traditional model. The poet's prose writings were the ones that were printed early on, and repeatedly, by the missionary presses. For example, Kuruttuvali (The Blind Way), a work attributed to Sastri and the American missionary Miron Winslow, criticising important aspects of Tamil Shaiva doctrine and practice, was published by the American Missionary Society; it underwent thirteen printings between 1833 and 1866,and was widely disseminated in the Tamil region. Sastri's best known controversial writings against Hindu and Catholic practices and doctrines were actually poetic works such as Castirakkummi.
At the end of the eighteenth century, Sastri was a forerunner of the new generation of Western-educated Indian intellectuals who would contribute to Tamil India's transition to modernity. His writings show that he had tremendous confidence in his talents as a Tamil poet and intellectual. Vedanayaka Sastri wrote in nearly all of the major traditional and contemporary literary genres, and he always tried to differentiate between Tamil Protestant poetry and the works of 'worldly' poets. Sastri included in his works not only 'religious' material but also a good amount of material on social issues and new knowledge systems. Thus, through his poems Sastri managed to build a vision of the Tamil Protestant religion, with its new ideas and teachings that were emerging in South Indian society | eng | eb36f698-4692-41dd-8114-8dd341dcdad4 | https://www.indianetzone.com/52/works_vedanayaka_sastri.htm |

"It is through the acknowledgement of our unconscious biases, which may lead to discriminatory thoughts and behaviours, that we can actively take the first step towards creating a fair and inclusive workplace, where everyone is respected at the workplace," she added, according to The Drum. | eng | b9ee1320-ff57-4e65-9a8d-1698ee025ab1 | https://hrsea.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/workplace/singapore-launches-campaign-to-curb-workplace-discrimination/90671861 |
Dirt Don't Hurt
Although the study was very small, it lends some additional evidence to the so-called "hygiene hypothesis." That theory suggests that the surge in allergies and asthma among modern children may have something to do with the increasingly sanitized environments in which they live.
It's important to note, however, that the development of asthma and allergies is complicated. It involves many factors both environmental and genetic. Asthma and allergies, which are strongly linked to each other, are among the most common diseases in the industrialized world.
Genes and Environment
23andMe has done several studies looking specifically at the genetic associations around allergies and asthma. But researchers have spent several years trying to unravel the cause of the surge in these conditions. This is just the latest study that has pointed to the hyper-clean environment among modern societies that might offer some explanation.
A similar study done last year, by researchers in Belgium, looked at allergies among children who grew up on European dairy farms.
This new study, done by researchers at the University of Chicago, focused on differences in asthma and allergy rates among the Amish and Hutterite farming families. Although the two Christian sects are similar in their isolation and ethnicities, their farming practices are distinct. The Hutterites embrace modern agricultural technics. The Amish decidedly old-school with most everything done by hand and plows pulled by animals.
"Our study in a small number of children was sufficient to show significant differences in the prevalence of asthma and in immune profiles," the researchers said in the paper. "(This) suggesting that very strong environmental factors must account for these differences."
Dust
The "very strong environmental" differences referred to in the study was the high level of bacteria in the dust in Amish family environs. The researchers looked at both the content of that dust – even taking samples and exposing mice to the dust – and they also looked at blood samples from children in both groups.
What they found was evidence that the constant low-grade exposure to microbes in the dust, appeared to boost the Amish children immune response. Those children had higher levels neutrophils, a type of white blood cell involved in the body's innate immune response. They also showed signs of other proteins involved in the body's inflammatory response.

Layers usually/basically mean something overlayed on something else e.g. the data layer or notes markers over a base map. If there would only be different maps to switch between I would think that "layers" is not a good description but "map style switcher" would be.
Layers are used to separate ways on different levels. Is the road over or under the rail line? Do the cross roads have a junction node, so you may turn there, or is it a bridge. This is important for drawing the map and routing, could I turn left or right or only go straight on? Layers are also the backgrounds in the editors such as out of copyright maps, others maps we can use and aerial all of which we can trace from or use to assist us in our edits. maybe better link
Tiles are squares of map. Each Tile consists of four tiles. Each of those Tiles consists of four Tiles and so on for the 20 or so levels of zoom. each level shows more detail. This is done to speed up the availability of maps on screen.
Rendering is the drawing of a map from a set of data. These renderings are a bit like artistic styles of painters. They are also made for particular users so a drivers map would concentrate on roads and motorways and show towns and road numbers. A hiker would maybe want footpaths, contours, woods, rivers and maybe campsites.
I count three types of layers:- they are (1) The map layers on the map page. (2) The level layers of rivers, tunnels,roads, bridges and others. used by the renderers to decide which is shown above or below. (3) The choices of background layer we choose from when editing such as GPX traces,out of copyright maps, permitted maps, and allowed aerial sources which are layered under the data of the osm database, but separate from it, which is extremely useful when editing. | eng | e9fb0c67-5025-44fd-ab2a-abe097dcc0c1 | https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/24948/difference-between-layers-tiles-and-renderers |

Key Takeaways:
Phobias can have a significant impact on the lives of family and friends, as they often have to adjust their behavior and habits to accommodate the phobia.
Family members may avoid triggers that can cause anxiety in the phobic person, altering plans and routines to prevent exposure to the feared object or situation.
Friends can help by providing a supportive environment and encouraging the phobic person to seek treatment or therapy to manage their condition.
Do you worry about the impact of phobias on your loved ones? This article explains how phobias can affect family and friends, providing helpful tips to help cope with the challenges. Whether it's you or someone you know, you don't need to go through it alone.
Definition of phobia
Phobia is an overwhelming and irrational fear of a specific object, situation or activity. It causes individuals to experience significant distress and anxiety, impacting their day-to-day life and relationships. Phobias can range from common fears such as heights and spiders to more severe ones like flying or social situations. Sufferers may avoid certain places or activities, leading to isolation and difficulty in relationships with family and friends.
Phobias often stem from traumatic experiences or deep-rooted fears that develop during childhood. Family members and friends may not understand the intensity of these phobias, leading to frustration when trying to help loved ones overcome their fears. The impact is especially profound when the sufferer is a child who may struggle with social interaction due to their phobia.
It's reported that up to 18% of adults in the United States suffer from phobias which interfere with daily life (National Institute of Mental Health).
Getting spooked by a spider is one thing, but having arachnophobia is a whole other web of fear.
Types of phobia
Phobias are a type of anxiety disorder that can significantly affect an individual's life. These fears may be irrational, but they have legitimate psychological and physiological effects. The manifestation of tension differs from one person to another because of the various phobias' types.
Animal Phobia
Natural Environment Phobia
Blood-Injection-Injury Phobia
Situation Phobia
Other Phobias like Choking, Vomiting, Loud Noises, etc.
Phobic disorders prohibit people from partaking in their hobbies or going to school or work with freedom. Approaching a sufferer can also be difficult for caregivers or family members until you understand what he or she is struggling with emotionally and mentally. Authorities recommend immediate medical attention if symptoms arise or become challenging for the sufferer.
A young man developed a choking phobia after consuming peanut butter. He kept eating it through peer pressure, but he ended up staying locked in his room for months. As time passed by, he started feeling comfortable with solid foods after some counseling sessions with a therapist.
You don't need a degree in psychology to see that phobias can turn family and friends into professional therapists.

To get a clue about phobias' effects on people near you, consider the influence of your actions. Analyse how family members dodge certain triggers and how friends help due to your phobia. This way, you'll get a sight of how phobias interact with relationships that are close.
Family avoiding triggers
Families adapting to avoid triggers is a common experience when dealing with phobia. Loved ones often change their daily routines and plans to accommodate the phobic individual's needs, like avoiding specific locations or events. This shift in behavior may cause inconvenience and discomfort, yet also provides emotional support and sensitivity towards the phobic individual.
In some cases, family members may feel burdened by these accommodations. It is important to communicate openly to ensure that both parties feel heard and understood. For instance, setting boundaries for the helpfulness of such changes can provide structure without causing additional tension at home.
Maintaining balance between accommodating and protecting loved ones from their fears can be tricky. It is important for families to strive towards a balance that benefits all parties involved while avoiding overindulging phobias altogether.
One person's fear of airplanes had caused family trips to become overwhelming trips instead as they had to resort on road travel only. With psychiatric help, coupled with gradual exposure therapy, this person took their first flight unassisted after months of rigorous therapy!
Friends accommodating behavior
When individuals have phobias, it can be challenging for friends to know how to react. They may engage in accommodating behavior, such as avoiding triggers or providing reassurance. This might seem helpful, but it actually reinforces the phobia and can make recovery more difficult.
To properly support a friend with a phobia, it is important to encourage them to face their fears gradually with the help of a therapist. Friends can also offer emotional support and positive reinforcement for progress made during therapy.
Additionally, friends may feel overwhelmed or frustrated dealing with someone's phobia. It's important for them to practice self-care and set boundaries while remaining empathetic towards their friend's struggles.
By offering proper support and understanding, friends can play an integral role in helping loved ones overcome their phobias without harboring unnecessary anxiety or guilt themselves.
Sometimes the best coping mechanism is just to pretend you have the same phobia and avoid it together.
Coping mechanisms for loved ones

When a beloved person has a phobia, it's critical to grasp the phobia and bolster therapy and treatment. Get understanding of their phobia to sympathize and lend support. By urging therapy and treatment, it demonstrates that you are willing to help them triumph over their phobia and that you are there for them in the course.
Understanding the phobia
Phobias can significantly affect the individual and the people around them. The fear and anxiety experienced by the phobic person can be challenging for loved ones to understand. This lack of understanding can lead to frustration, tension and miscommunication in relationships due to the unpredictable nature of triggers, limiting daily activities or socialising opportunities.
Moreover, those with phobias may require tremendous support, guidance and patience from family and friends when trying to tackle their fears. Additionally, being exposed to an individual's irrational anxieties may arouse sympathy or nervousness, often causing emotional distress in the caregiver or friend that is aiding.
It is imperative to keep communication lines open and educate oneself about their loved one's condition thoroughly. Humility, compassion and providing a non-judgmental space for a safe discussion can enhance empathy towards individuals with phobias.
Historically speaking, Phobia related problems have persisted since ancient times when Greek physicians first identified certain types of irrational fears among patients. Later it was considered an actual medical diagnosis by psychologists in the late 19th century who were fascinated by behavioural treatments that could consistently alleviate symptoms such as panic attacks or lifelong avoidance tendencies.
Therapists may tell you to face your fears, but I prefer to stare at my phobia from the safety of my therapist's couch.
Encouraging treatment and therapy
Encouraging individuals to seek professional help for their phobias is instrumental in improving the lives of everyone around them. Family and friends can assist by providing emotional support, researching treatment options, and joining them in therapy sessions. By acknowledging the challenges of confronting a phobia and guiding them through the process, loved ones can help build self-esteem, reduce anxiety levels, and improve their overall well-being.
Participating in therapy sessions with individuals who have phobias can also be helpful. Group therapy or family counseling sessions can provide suitable settings for open communication and channeling individual concerns while promoting productive interpersonal relationships for all members involved. Encourage healthy coping mechanisms like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychotherapy, and Exposure Therapy, which have proven effective in treating various fears.
Support networks play an essential role in assisting individuals with overcoming their phobias. Family and friends provide assistance by motivating them through the stages of treatment; these encouragement avoids loss of interest as treatment becomes more challenging over time. It is imperative to keep in mind that progress takes time, so it's essential to continue being supportive even if visible results are not immediate.
According to mentalhealth.org.uk: One common kind- A specific phobia which affects one in ten people at some point in their lives; up to 20% of those affected experience significant distress due to their symptoms.

Challenges faced by family and friends

The emotional strain of helping a loved one with a phobia can be intense. To cope, it's vital to strike a balance between support and self-care.
In this section, we'll look at how phobias can harm those close to the sufferer, as well as why it's important to help the person whilst looking after yourself.
Emotional toll
Witnessing a loved one suffering from phobias can take a significant empathetic and psychological toll on family and friends. The emotional toll can lead to feelings of helplessness, guilt, frustration, and worry as they struggle to support their loved one through these challenges.
These emotions can manifest as physical symptoms such as lack of sleep, appetite changes, headaches, and even depression. Family members may become overprotective or avoid situations that trigger their loved one's phobia out of fear for their safety. In some cases, the burdensome nature of the situation can cause strain on relationships.
It is important to note that each person's experience with phobia is unique. Therefore, family and friends must educate themselves on dealing with this issue in different ways based on the person's individual needs. Open communication between loved ones plays an essential role in tackling such challenges.
One woman watched her mother slowly develop agoraphobia after a traumatic event caused her anxiety to skyrocket. The daughter tried various therapies with limited success before eventually stumbling upon an experimental treatment involving exposure therapy with virtual reality simulations, which proved successful for her mother. Observing her mother finally able to leave the house after years of struggling brought new hope and strengthened their relationship further than ever before.
Remember, if you don't take care of yourself, you'll be as useful to your loved ones as a chocolate teapot.
Balancing support and self-care
Providing assistance whilst taking care of oneself is crucial when dealing with phobias. It's imperative to maintain a balance between providing support and self-care. One must prioritize self-care to offer the best help without succumbing to exhaustion, anxiety and depression.
Taking breaks, engaging in leisure activities and seeking professional counselling can minimize caregiver burden, enhance empathy and increase patience towards the affected person. In turn, it can aid in effective communication and contribute positively towards the treatment process.
Moreover, communicating openly about one's feelings and challenges can increase support from friends and family. It will reduce loneliness, isolation and distress experienced by both parties. By attending support groups or seeking guidance from mental health professionals, caregivers can receive emotional validation about their struggles.
As you provide a helping hand to your loved ones battling with phobias, take care of your wellbeing too. Be kinder and patient with yourself since caregiving comes with varying degrees of physical strain, emotional costs and time constraints. Time waits for no one. Ensure you have a good work-life balance while attending to all tasks with zeal.
Remember that it takes time to recover, educate yourself on phobias through credible sources of information so that you are prepared for every step along the way. With dedication, consistency, commitment and an open-heart approach toward those who need your help; you can make an impact that lasts a lifetime!

Immunisation Against Hepatitis B
The current Australia-wide immunisation program is necessary to protect all children from hepatitis B infection.
A full course of hepatitis B injections must be given for a child to be protected. It is recommended that this course begins within 24 hours of birth with a vaccine against hepatitis B alone. Further doses are routinely given at 2 months, 4 months and 6 months, as a combination vaccine.
Immunisation is the best protection against hepatitis B infection. In Victoria a free hepatitis B vaccine is available for a number of groups at high risk, including men who have sex with men, and people living with HIV.
The adult course involves 3 doses of the vaccine over 6 months and gives protection to about 95 per cent of people. Once you have had the 3 doses, you can have a blood test to see if you are protected.
How Can I Prevent Spreading Hepatitis B To Others
If you have hepatitis B, follow the steps above to avoid spreading the infection. Your sex partners should get a hepatitis B test and, if they arent infected, get the hepatitis B vaccine. You can protect others from getting infected by telling your doctor, dentist, and other health care professionals that you have hepatitis B. Dont donate blood or blood products, semen, organs, or tissue.
Hepatitis B Vaccination In Pregnancy
Hepatitis B infection in pregnant women may result in severe disease for the mother and chronic infection for the baby. This is why the hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for pregnant women who are in a high-risk category.
There's no evidence of any risk from vaccinating pregnant or breastfeeding women against hepatitis B. And, as it's an inactivated vaccine, the risk to the unborn baby is likely to be negligible .

What Is Hepatitis B Vaccine
Hepatitis B vaccine gives protection against infection from the hepatitis B virus. The vaccine works by causing the body to produce antibodies against the virus responsible for hepatitis B infection and in this way protects against the disease. Hepatitis B is a virus that is easily spread through contact with the blood or bodily fluids of an infected person. For example, it can be passed on through unprotected sex, by sharing injection gear, through a needle stick injury or from mother to child during childbirth. Hepatitis B infection can cause serious problems including liver failure, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. Preventing infection can prevent these problems. Read more about hepatitis B.
Managing Fever After Immunisation
Common side effects following immunisation are usually mild and temporary . Specific treatment is not usually required.
There are a number of treatment options that can reduce the side effects of the vaccine such as giving extra fluids to drink and not overdressing if there is a fever.
Although routine use of paracetamol after vaccination is not recommended, if fever is present, paracetamol can be given check the label for the correct dose or speak with your pharmacist, especially when giving paracetamol to children.
What Causes Hepatitis B
The hepatitis B virus causes hepatitis B. The hepatitis B virus spreads through contact with an infected persons blood, semen, or other body fluids. Contact can occur by
being born to a mother with hepatitis B
having unprotected sex with an infected person
sharing drug needles or other drug materials with an infected person
getting an accidental stick with a needle that was used on an infected person
being tattooed or pierced with tools that were used on an infected person and werent properly sterilized, or cleaned in a way that destroys all viruses and other microbes
having contact with the blood or open sores of an infected person
using an infected persons razor, toothbrush, or nail clippers
You cant get hepatitis B from
being coughed on or sneezed on by an infected person
drinking unclean water or untreated water that has not been boiled
eating food that is unclean or has not been properly cooked
hugging an infected person
shaking hands or holding hands with an infected person
sharing spoons, forks, and other eating utensils
sitting next to an infected person
Mothers who have hepatitis B can safely breastfeed their babies. If a baby receives hepatitis B immune globulin and starts receiving the hepatitis B vaccine to prevent hepatitis B infection shortly after birth, hepatitis B is unlikely to spread from mother to child through breastfeeding.15
Concurrent Administration Of Vaccines
Hepatitis B vaccine for Grade 7 Students
HB-containing vaccines may be administered concomitantly with other vaccines or with HBIg. Different injection sites and separate needles and syringes must be used for concurrent parenteral injections.
Testing For Hepatitis B Surface Antibody Following Vaccine
Testing for anti-HBs routinely is not recommended. It is only advised in certain groups:
People with chronic kidney disease on dialysis:
The role of immunological memory in patients with chronic kidney disease on renal dialysis is not clear. Protection may persist only as long as anti-HBs levels remain above 10 mIU/mL.
Antibody levels should be monitored annually and if they fall below 10 mIU/mL, a booster dose of vaccine should be given to patients who have previously responded to the vaccine.
Booster doses should also be offered to any haemodialysis patients who are intending to travel to high-risk countries if they have previously responded to the vaccine, especially if they are to receive haemodialysis and have not received a booster in the preceding 12 months.
Who Should Get The Hepatitis A Vaccine
The CDC recommends that all children between ages 12 months and 23 months get this vaccine as well as for any infant aged 6 to 11 months who is traveling internationally.
The following people are also at risk for the disease and should be vaccinated:
Children and teens through age 18 who live in states or communities that have made this vaccination routine because of a high rate of disease
Men who have sex with men
Anyone who uses illegal drugs
People with chronic liver disease
Anyone treated with blood clotting drugs, such as people with hemophilia
People who work with HAV-infected primates or in HAV research laboratories.
Travelers to countries where hepatitis A is common. A good source to check is the CDCâs travelersâ health website, which you can search by the country youâre going to.
People adopting or close to a child adopted from a country where hepatitis A is common
You should not get the vaccine if you're allergic to any ingredients in it or if you had a severe allergic reaction to an earlier dose of it. Tell your doctor or pharmacist about any allergies you have.
If you're pregnant, let your doctor know. The safety of this vaccine for pregnant women is unknown, although the risk is considered to be very low.
Who Should Get The Hbv Vaccine
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that children should get their first hepatitis B vaccine at birth and complete the doses by 6 to 18 months of age. However, the HBV vaccine is still recommended for all children if they havent already gotten it, from infanthood up to 19 years old. Most U.S. states require a hepatitis B vaccine for school admittance, however.
Its also recommended for adults at an increased risk of catching the HBV infection, or anyone who fears they have or will be exposed to it in the near future.
The HBV vaccine is even safe to administer to pregnant women.
Hepatitis B Vaccine On The Nhs
A hepatitis B-containing vaccine is provided for all babies born in the UK on or after 1 August 2017. This is given as part of the 6-in-1 vaccine.
Hospitals, GP surgeries and sexual health or GUM clinics usually provide the hepatitis B vaccination free of charge for anyone at risk of infection.
GPs are not obliged to provide the hepatitis B vaccine on the NHS if you're not thought to be at risk.
GPs may charge for the hepatitis B vaccine if you want it as a travel vaccine, or they may refer you to a travel clinic for a private vaccination. The current cost of the vaccine is around £50 a doseIs Hepatitis B Vaccine
There are no adequate or well-controlled trials of hepatitis B vaccine use in pregnant women. Therefore, hepatitis B vaccine should be used during pregnancyonly if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus.
It is not known if the hepatitis B vaccine is excreted into human milk after administration to the mother. The manufacturer recommends caution when given to nursing mothers.
How Do Doctors Treat Hepatitis B
Not everyone with chronic hepatitis B needs treatment. If blood tests show that hepatitis B could be damaging a persons liver, a doctor may prescribe antiviral medicines to lower the chances of liver damage and complications.
The length of treatment varies. Hepatitis B medicines may cause side effects. Talk with your doctor about the side effects of treatment. Tell your doctor before taking any other prescription or over-the-counter medicines.
Immunisation Against Hepatitis B For Children
Immunisation is the best protection against hepatitis B infection and is recommended for all infants and young children, adolescents and those in high-risk groups. Immunisation can be with a vaccine against hepatitis B alone or with a combination vaccine.
Premature babies at 12 months premature babies born under 32 weeks gestation or under 2,000g birth weight receive a single booster dose.
Children up to and including 9 years of age.
Hepatitis B Vaccine The Other Cancer Prevention Vaccine
3Shares
Anyone who follows or trolls my blog knows one thing I am a passionate supporter of the HPV anti-cancer vaccine, known as Gardasil. But I didnt want to ignore the hepatitis B vaccine, which is the other anti-cancer vaccine.
Recently, the CDC recommended a new hepatitis B vaccine for adults, and that prompted me to do something I havent really done Dont smoke. Dont drink alcohol. Stay out of the sun. Keep a very healthy weight. And get your HPV and hepatitis B vaccines.
Yes, getting these vaccines will be more useful to avoiding cancer than drinking delicious banana wont directly prevent cancer like the two vaccines.

Andy Biersack once said, "stand up for what you believe in even if that means standing alone" (Goodreads).

Despite the challenges Atticus faces, he still treats everyone equally. Atticus helps others because…...
Readers often enjoy characters than they can relate to or look up to. For example, heroes and characters with good intentions are commonly found to be the readers favorites. However, characters who are insensitive or rude can also be memorable characters.

It's very telling that the female protagonist in Ernest Hemingway's "Hills Like White Elephants" is referred to as "the girl" instead of the woman. While the central conflict of the story is her pregnancy, she "has allowed herself to be guided like a child," which is why she has earned the title of "the girl" throughout the story (Renner 39). She exemplifies problematic ideals of femininity by being completely subservient and dependent on the American, like a child, or aErnest Hemingway uses the setting, symbolism, imagery, genre, tone, and the title in Hills like White Elephants to illustrate the tension that can be brought to a relationship when there is an unwanted unborn child.

There are many characters throughout the play, The Crucible by Arthur Miller, that aren't necessarily moral. With young girls constantly pointing their fingers, men acting to prideful that they are blind, and the lack of reason in Salem, it is hard to find one unflawed character. However, there was one virtuous character that stood out in my eyes. Rebecca Nurse has a demeanor like no other in Salem. Her saintliness is prominent in the small town; the only people to…...
Much of The Crucible is a character study with ego and depravity on full display. Arthur Miller presents many pre-existing rivalries that we watch unravel right before our eyes, and the coldness of some antagonists towards people can be downright upsetting. Many of the scenarios in Act One unfold rapidly and force the reader to understand the tension built long before any timeline provided within the text.

All the way throughout history, in both real life and in works of fiction, people have frequently been affected by two or even more conflicting forces.

As the primary character of The Awakening by Kate Chopin, Edna has been criticized both in the realm of the novel and in the world of readers alike as a childish, promiscuous and selfish woman, who was never truly "awake" in her own life. Many side with this position, but others say that Edna's awakening is one of…...
These days, producers and writers work together to try and reproduce classic novels as motion pictures. How precise can a motion picture company re-create a classic? Sometimes they arent as accurate and realistic as they may think.

A discussion of the deeper issues that fuel the slave trade in Libya.
The world (the United States) found out about the slave trade in Libya and was outraged.
The world was outraged and demanded a stop to it.
Many people denounced what was happening.
The world has moved on to the next outrage and slave auctions are still happening.
This is what happens when atrocities are uncovered. People get mad for a moment and move on without even discussing the deep-rooted, complex issues that ready the soil for these disgusting things to occur on such a large scale.
Unfortunately, most migrants who get to Libya will never board boats to get across to Europe. Of those who do make it to the shores, most do not make it to Europe alive. Once migrants get to Libya, they are often kidnapped by smugglers and sold in auctions. In other cases, these migrants are arrested and thrown in detention centers where they are prisoners, another breed of slaves.
Yes, Libya is right in asking the global community and specifically, The African Union, to collectively discuss the reasons as to why people are migrating at such a rate and hopefully uncover solutions to the conflict. Some solutions should include representative and non-corrupt governments, job creation, infrastructure development, healthcare and educational reform. However, currently, Libya needs to deal with the issue of slave owning and selling with no tolerance. This means there should be legal repercussions for owning and selling slaves. This also means that the process of sending migrants back to their country of origin should be expedited but until migrants are sent back they need to be treated with dignity and respect. It is 2017; We need to come to the definitive conclusion that it is absolutely wrong to own another human being under any and all circumstances.
The other discussion that I was expecting to hear after the world uncovered the slave auctions in Libya was that of organ trafficking. Some of the migrants that end up trapped in Libya are not sold whole but by the part. They are having their organs harvested and sold for thousands of dollars to the WEST.
Mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, children, and all other human beings are being drugged as well as having their organs taken. In some cases, these migrants will have all viable organs removed and will be left for dead. Of the migrants who somehow make it to the shores to board boats and attempt to get across, what happens to those who drown and die in the sea? Their bodies are taken back to Libya and instead of being sent to their families in their countries of origins, all of their organs are harvested and buried in huge, unmarked graves. This is the testimony of a man who has lived through this hell. He has been sold. He has dug the graves. He has tossed the bodies. Here is his story.
You might be asking, "Why isn't this talked about on the major news outlets in the United States?" Well, which countries and/or peoples do you think benefit the most from the organ market? It is said that David Rockefeller has had seven heart transplants. How many people are listed as organ donors to supply that? How long is the transplant list for such an organ? How is it possible that while some are waiting years for one organ and many die without ever receiving a transplant, David Rockefeller has had SEVEN heart transplants in his one lifetime? I am not accusing anyone of participating in the organ market, but I am saying that with all the money Rockefeller has, saving thousands of dollars for stolen organs is a possibility.
I am begging the world to not allow this to continue to happen. When you delve into the underbelly of humankind, witness the most deplorable of behavior and see the suffering of your fellow human beings. How can you sleep while knowing nothing serious is being donemare | eng | 7406c001-e600-4255-af0d-a590b90ad171 | https://www.theodysseyonline.com/slave-auctions-migrants-libya |

Global Action Week For Education 2017
Stand up for Education: Time to Deliver
GCE's Global Action Week for Education in 2017 takes place 23-29 April and focuses on ensuring accountability for SDG4, and active citizen participation.
In 2015, citizens campaigned successfully for governments to commit to a Sustainable Development Goal which ensured that everyone has the right to quality education – education which should be public, equitable, inclusive and free. Two years later, it is time for governments to prove they are working towards this goal – it is time to deliver.
While there are challenges to the realisation of this right, from long-term conflict to national elections and policy changes, commitments to the Sustainable Development Goals, and to the Education 2030 agenda are long term and cannot be ignored.
At the same time, citizens must be given a voice in any decision-making process which impacts on their lives. Yet in too many countries the voice of citizens is being stifled; across all regions of the world, certain national governments have taken more aggressive action to limit civil society activity, from restrictions on funding, 'political activity' or protest, to direct criminalisation of civil society activity.
Education underpins many of the SDGs, and it is fundamental to the realisation of other rights. Governments must deliver on this goal, and citizens must be able to play their part in holding them to account for it. The cost of not delivering education is too high to bear.
This year, the Global Campaign for Education is calling on governments to:
Develop, fund and implement credible plans for the full set of targets for the education SDG (SDG4)
Strengthen public systems and state capacities to ensure that education is free, quality, and equitable
Ensure that there are credible, transparent mechanisms for the participation of civil society in monitoring and accountability for the SDG4 agenda.
We are asking teachers, students, education campaigners and members of the public to take part in events happening all around the world during Global Action Week for Education, which runs from 23-29 April 2017. | eng | 430f0a76-b0c4-42e6-bd88-1b7979c2136d | https://campaignforeducation.org/en/take-action/take-part-in-gawe/global-action-week-for-education-2017 |

@Qwerp-Derp, one allocates memory and calls initialize on that memory, one just initializes the memory
08:03
<Papierkorb_>
Qwerp-Derp, #initialize is what you generally provide. It sets up your instance. .new also allocates memory. Basically, `.new` calls `.allocate`, and then your `#initialize`
08:03
<Papierkorb_>
Qwerp-Derp, you should rarely need to override `.new`. Haven't needed it once

<Qwerp-Derp> Hmmm, it's just because I've seen it in the Crystal source code

So, what are the use cases? 1) QDebug() was great: You do << and then after the statement ends, it gets output with on a new line. Great. But we have string interpolation, which is much easier to use 2) MutexLocker is great: Leave the method and it gets unlocked. Fantastic. But we have blocks, you could do e.g. `mutex.lock{ do something while locked }; not_locked_anymore_here`

Talk to Apple's Siri or Amazon's Alexa and you'll notice
a common trait: They both have female voices.
While this can help make robotic assistants more
relatable and natural to converse with, it has assigned a gender to a
technology that's otherwise genderless.
Now, researchers are hoping to offer a new alternative by
launching what they're calling the world's first 'genderless voice.'
HOW DID RESEARCHERS CREATE A GENDERLESS AI?
To create 'Q', researchers recorded voices from
participants who identify as non-binary, or neither exclusively female nor
male.
Researchers then tested the voice on 4,600 people across
Europe.
Testers rated the voice between one and five, with one
being male and five being female.
The voice was modulated and then tested again until it
was perceived as gender neutral.
A pitch between 145 and 175 hertz was perceived as a
gender neutral frequency.
The voice, called 'Q', was created by researchers from
Copenhagen Pride, equality campaign organisation EqualAI and Virtue, a creative
agency under Vice, to be gender neutral.
To do this, they recorded voices from participants who
identify as non-binary, or neither exclusively female nor male.
In launching Q, they hope to break down the rise of gender
bias in smart assistants.
Experts say assigning a female voice to an AI assistant
reinforces stereotypes that females are supposed to helpful, nurturing and
caring. Additionally, that they're more appropriate for administrative roles.
'Companies turn to different research that tells them
people expect a female voice,' said Julie Carpenter, who worked on Project Q
and is a research fellow with the Ethics and Emerging Sciences Group.
'Sometimes we go back to these stereotypes and what happens
is we're reinforcing them. We're not changing them.
'There's no reason we can't have more options,' she
added.
Apple and Google do give users the option of switching
between a male and female voice for their digital assistants, but researchers
say there should be a non-binary option as well.
'Q adds to a global discussion about who is designing
gendered technology, why those choices are made, and how people feed into
expectations about things like trustworthiness, intelligence, and reliability
of a technology based on cultural biases rooted in their belief system about
groups of people,' Carpenter said.
'Q is a step forward in true innovation because it forces
a critical examination of these belief systems.'
Last May, Google rolled out six new voices for its Google
Assistant, among which are R&B singer John Legend.
Amazon, too, launched eight new male voices last year,
but the original female voice remains the default option.
The creators behind Q are hoping the genderless voice
will get tech giants' attention and lead to it being included in their products
in the future.
'And what we would argue is that they need to take a
societal responsibility which is proportional to the kind of influence they
exercise.'
Thomas Rasmussen, head of communication for Copenhagen
Pride, said Q would help combat 'harmful and often very limiting gender
stereotypes,' as well as raise the issue to Silicon Valley giants.
'With Q - a neutral voice with no preassigned gender - we
aim to get the attention of leading technological companies that work with AI
to ensure they are aware that a gender binary normativity excludes many people
and to inspire them by showing how easy it would actually be to recognise that
more than two genders exist when developing artificial intelligence devices,'
Rasmussen said.
'This is about giving people choices and options. It is

A Day of French Cooking
Recently, students from the French IV and V/VI classes took a trip to the French Cultural Center in Boston. We made a full meal to enjoy with our hosts, which included the following dishes: salade chèvre chaud, poulet au pistou, tian provençal, mousse au chocolat, and madeleines. We followed recipes written in French, and we all had a lot of fun making food that we got to enjoy once we were finished.
French IV made the desserts and our peers in French V/VI made the main dish. It was kind of hard to understand the directions, but with the help of the people at the French Cultural Center, we were able to figure it out. The mousse au chocolat was a lot of fun to make, except it did hurt our arms a little bit.
We also made Madeleines, which are a French cookie that is very similar to a little cake. The cookies are packed with butter and sugar, and the mold used to make them is in the shape of an oblong shell. The mousse au chocolat is a sweet chocolate mousse made with melted chocolate, sugar, and egg white. The egg white gets whipped then added, so it makes the mousse extra fluffy!
The girls in French IV also made the salade chèvre chaud and we cut the baguettes. The salad has lettuce and tomatoes in it, and has a vinaigrette dressing. We cut the tomatoes ourselves, and we did the same for the vinaigrette. The bread was topped with goat cheese. It was very good and we all ended up eating it while we were cutting it.
The girls in French V/VI made poulet au pistou and tian provençal. The poulet au pistou is a type of chicken with a cream sauce on it and tian provençal is similar to ratatouille in a way. They did a great job making them!
After everything was finished, we went upstairs and ate. Everything tasted amazing! We were short on time to eat, so we had to eat quickly and rush back to North Station to make the train. We ate our mousse au chocolat while walking back. We all had a ton of fun and enjoyed some very good food!
A big thank you to our students Cori I.,'21 and Morgan C.,'21 for compiling this story for us to share with our community.

American Goldfinch (Thorns) is an impressive little bird with its vibrant yellow coat trimmed in black. These birds flit around meadows, woodland edges and backyards across North America. You can often see them dangling back and forth to feed on tall golden coneflowers. But what do goldfinch eat? Insects or Seeds? Both, maybe?
The American Goldfinch is a herbivore. They eat the seeds of various trees and annuals. Birds love the seeds of black thistle and other goldenrods, such as asters and sunflowers. They also forage from elm, birch, alder, and northern cedar trees.

It might come as a surprise, but goldfinches aren't keen on insects. They will eat various bugs when encountered. However, this usually happens by accident when the birds are foraging for seeds. American goldfinch eats seeds almost exclusively, with a few exceptions. Read on to discover more about this bird's unique eating habits!

How do goldfinch find food?
Goldfinches are foragers who seek food by prowling around potential food plants to determine which plants have the most resources. After choosing one, the bird will perch on the plant and begin collecting and eating seeds from the seed heads. Occasionally, goldfinches hang upside down from branches or flowers to access hard-to-reach seeds.
Although they are small, perching on fragile plant stems can seem like a daunting task for these birds. Goldfinches, however, are adept at grabbing swaying plants with their feet while they pick seeds.
Once removed, the bird uses its mandibles to quickly tear apart the shell and eat the hard-earned food. Goldfinch will do this multiple times while balancing on the same plant.

What time of day do goldfinch feed?
Goldfinches are daytime feeders. When birds aren't nesting, they typically forage in flocks throughout the day. These flocks will visit meadows, forest edges, and even roadsides — full of thistles and other popular plant species.
What Do American Goldfinch Eat In Winter?
Throughout the winter, American Goldfinch will eat the seeds that are still attached to various thistles, asters, sunflowers and tree species. They're even agile enough to extract seeds from small cones.
These birds also like to frequent bird feeders during the colder months. Wildflowers and trees may have fewer seeds and greater distances, but backyard feeders often provide a reliable food supply in relative safety.
Goldfinches like to travel in flocks in winter. These groups can number up to nearly 200 individuals and often include other species. The American tree sparrow and the black-crowned tit are among the birds that will live with the goldfinch. A flock of this size offers more security and also allows the birds to eat more since they spend less time on the lookout.

What do American goldfinch eat in summer?
During the summer months, American goldfinches eat a more varied diet.These birds often forage in meadows and other semi-open areas full of flowers Asteraceae family. They also feed on the buds of elm, birch, alder, and various fruit trees. Grass seed heads can also be used as normal food.
The American Goldfinch is also known to eat twigs and strips of bark from maple sap. These events occur less frequently, like birds eating insects. As mentioned earlier, goldfinches don't often entertain insects. When eaten, it is usually during the summer when birds are foraging for the seeds.
These birds will continue to forage and forage in flocks in the warmer weather, even while nesting. Unlike in winter, however, flocks are reduced in number and often contain no other species.

What Do American Goldfinch Eat?
Unlike the juveniles of most roosting birds, American goldfinch juveniles do not eat a mixture of seeds and insects. Instead, the parents feed them the seeds they regurgitate.
Both parents are involved in feeding their children. However, as the babies grow older, the female gradually reduces her role as food provider. The male takes most responsibility until the chicks leave the nest 11-17 days after hatching.

What is the best food for goldfinch?
American Goldfinches love thistle seeds, sometimes called nyjer seeds. Thistles are an excellent source of energy for these birds, which is one reason why thistles are available in seed mixes designed for finches.
The birds also get a lot of their nutrition from the seeds of other local plants. Asteraceae Families such as sunflowers, asters and coneflowers.
What seeds do American goldfinch eat?
American Goldfinch eats too much seed. Much of their diet consists of seeds from thistles, sunflowers, asters, and other plants in the Asteraceae family. They also forage for seeds from a variety of grasses and trees, such as birch, elm, alder, and cedar.

What Do American Goldfinch Drink?
American Goldfinch drinking water. They do this by scooping up the liquid with their beaks and lifting their heads to swallow. These birds will drink from a variety of water sources, including dew collected from plants, birdbaths, shallow pools, and small streams. In winter, they can also be seen eating snow or drinking snowmelt.

How do I attract goldfinch to my garden?
Thistles are essential if you wish to attract American Goldfinch to your garden. However, many people may not want these prickly plants growing in their yard, especially if they are not native. In this case, you can offer packaged thistle or nyjer seeds in bird feeders designed for finches. These seeds are sterilized so they won't germinate.
In addition to thistles, you can grow other seed-bearing plants, many of which have become garden favorites. These can include a mix of sunflowers, coneflowers, and asters — varieties that produce many beautiful flowers. You can also easily find native plants in your area.

I have the flu at the moment so I'm a liiiiittle out of it but here goes.
First things first, get some easy to sterilise tools for poking about in the media, keep yo salty ham hands out! 😅 humans naturally produce a lot of oils and minerals on our skin, and even more germs find their way there and these can build up in carnivorous plant media which is bad because they usually require little to zero nutrients and too much minerals can kill them.
They can tolerate a few hours of morning sun most places and like to be damp but well draining. Mine all seem to prefer a water daily and hanging pots 👌 they're in 1:1:1 peat:perlite:sphagnum.
Colours: yellowish leaf colour is usually too much minerals either in the media or water. Red is too much sun. Neon green that almost looks fake is not enough light.
Colour loss on the traps is usually humidity or watering related and crispy trap tops usually mean you need to top up the fluid levels inside that one trap, not too far. I use my misting bottle.
That's it, brain fried 🤷🏻♀️ will check back in a few days though and see what I kissed
patience!!!! lots of patience. 😅😅😅 let it acclimate slow and easy into your home so the pitchers don't die. they usually come with instructions. but if not, look up videos by carnivero on youtube. try to keep distilled water ready for them or water filters like zero water that ensure zero TDS does wonders. | eng | a55b420d-f8e6-487c-866a-7a9a20ea32f6 | https://greg.app/question/f5war/nepenthes-plant-care-tips-i-will-be-getting-a-nepenthes-gaya-hybrid-very-soon-and-i-cannot-wait-to |

There was immediate reaction in Minnesota and across the U.S. after Derek Chauvin was found guilty. NBC News' Ron Allen reports from MinneapolisA national riot only would have happened if the jury cleared him of wrong doing. In this case, they nailed him to the wall, because its not about a win, its about accountability. Accountability is what the community wanted, and they got it.
If George Floyd would not have committed a counterfeit crime, he would still be alive. He put himself in the attention of the police by committing a crime. Now a cop goes to prison cause things did not turn out differently. Cops will be quitting the forces all over this country because the media just made crime a lot easier to get away with.
As a white guy I'm happy DC was found guilty because it sent a message to the police that you are not above the law. That bullying, intimidating, and being brutal to people is not what your job is supposed to be about. That you need to get that chip off your shoulder and stop treating every citizen you come across as a criminal. THAT IS NOT YOUR JOB!
It's a good day but it is not the end of anything. The right wing forces in this country do not rest. They don't see their defeats as anything but delays, and what they didn't succeed at today they will keep trying and perfecting until they do. Every time we think we dodged a bullet, don't forget that they are reloading. Palin and Christine O'Donnell couldn't get elected in 2008 and 2010, but trump and marge greene can get elected now. The right does not stop, and they are constantly planning.
Corporate lobbying has drowned America. Drowned in Guns, Obesity, Poorly trained police, Unfair health care, Political donations that corrupt leadership, systemic racism and a shambles of the education system to list a few.
Thanks for justice with George done after long protest and world demand. when criminals Trump will be punish who provoke and killed 5 American for his political benefit on 6 jan 2021 capitol storm. Trump who divided American and brain washed 50% American in the name of fake nationalism and increase racism and more discrimination between American and non-American.

Biden need to clear all racist and poison office from police and even by army who do not believe in Humanity.
So grateful for social media, cameras, and the world wide web. If these were not operating, Justice would not be served and the people of the nation would not understand or care enough to get off their butts to cry No More. It takes the people to make a change against a corrupt government and system. I can now today honestly say, I am proud to be an American. Good job Fam.

In a surprising turn of events, the longstanding relationship between the Walt Disney (DIS) Company and the state of Florida has taken a sharp downturn. Disney, one of the world's largest entertainment conglomerates, has decided to ditch a highly anticipated $1 billion project in Florida, further fueling an ongoing feud with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. The decision comes as a shock to many, as Disney has had a long and prosperous history in the state, contributing significantly to its economy and tourism industry. This article explores the escalating tensions between Disney and Governor DeSantis and the potential consequences of this fallout.
For decades, Disney has been an integral part of the Floridian landscape. The Walt Disney World Resort, situated in Orlando, is one of the state's most popular tourist attractions and an economic powerhouse, employing thousands of people and drawing in millions of visitors annually. The relationship between Disney and Florida's government has generally been harmonious, with both entities recognizing the mutual benefits of their collaboration.
However, tensions between Disney and Governor Ron DeSantis began to simmer in recent years. The feud can be traced back to the handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, where the governor and the entertainment giant held differing views on how to navigate the crisis. DeSantis, known for his resistance to strict lockdown measures, clashed with Disney over reopening protocols and safety precautions.
Disney, emphasizing the importance of public health and visitor safety, sought stricter guidelines and precautions during the pandemic. The disagreement escalated when Disney openly criticized the governor's approach, accusing him of prioritizing economic recovery over public health. This marked a notable departure from the typically harmonious relationship between the company and the state.
The $1 Billion Project Abandoned by Disney
The recent announcement of Disney's decision to abandon a $1 billion project in Florida marks a significant escalation in the feud. The proposed project, which was initially planned as a new resort development, aimed to expand Disney's footprint in the state and boost tourism even further. However, due to the strained relationship with Governor DeSantis, Disney has decided to halt the project, dealing a severe blow to Florida's economy and potentially leading to job losses and decreased revenue.
Consequences and Implications
The fallout between Disney and Governor DeSantis has significant consequences for both parties involved. For Disney, the abandonment of the $1 billion project demonstrates the seriousness of their disagreement with the governor's policies. It also sends a strong message to other states that the company is willing to take drastic actions to protect its interests and values.
On the other hand, the decision poses a significant setback for Florida, which heavily relies on tourism as a vital source of revenue. The abandoned project represents a missed opportunity for economic growth, job creation, and increased tourism in the state. Additionally, it could lead to a tarnished reputation for Florida as a reliable and attractive destination for major corporations.
Furthermore, this feud might have a ripple effect on the political landscape of the state. Governor DeSantis, who has enjoyed strong support from many constituents, may face criticism for his handling of the situation, especially regarding the impact on the state's economy. The feud could also strain the governor's relationship with other influential companies and investors who might be hesitant to collaborate with a state that experiences such public conflicts with major corporations.
The decision signals the severity of the disagreement between the two entities and its potential consequences for Florida's economy. It has been reported 2,000 people will lose their jobs. Fox news reported, " Some Disney employees have already made the move to Florida, but D'Amaro said in his letter Thursday that the company would discuss those workers' individual situations, "including the possibility of moving you back." As both sides dig in their heels, it remains to be seen how this fallout will unfold and whether any efforts for reconciliation will happen | eng | 94f55f67-267b-433e-b00b-17cb847fba72 | https://www.cweb.com/disney-escalates-its-dispute-with-florida-governor-ron-desantis-by-abandoning-a-1-billion-project/ |

Saskatraz Bees Pros and Cons
Beekeeping has been a popular hobby for many years. Beekeeping can be an enjoyable hobby for many people, but it's also a great way to help the environment and build up your own food source. Bees are responsible for pollinating most of the plants that produce food throughout the world.
Without bees, these plants would die off and humans would have no food sources left at all. Beekeeping is a great hobby for anyone who wants to help the environment and enjoy having honey at home.
There are many types of bees that can be kept for the purpose of honey production, but one of the most popular is called a "Saskatraz Bee".
The name comes from the fact that these bees were originally bred in Saskatchewan, Canada. In this article we will go over pros and cons of using Saskatraz Bees:
Saskatraz Bees Pros
High honey production
Saskatraz bees are known for their high honey production. This is due to their ability to store more honey than other species of bees, allowing them to survive through the winter months when food sources are scarce. They produce more than other species of Apis mellifera or A. cerana (the two most common types of bee).
Their honey is also of a higher quality, meaning that it is more likely to be pure and unadulterated. This makes it very popular with beekeepers who want to sell their honey at the highest possible price.
Extremely gentle
Saskatraz bees are extremely gentle, which is a huge benefit for beekeepers. They don't sting or attack people like European honeybees do; they're easy to handle and work with in the hive.
The fact that they're so calm makes them ideal pollinators of crops like almonds, which require frequent visits by many bees over the course of several weeks.
Their level of aggression is quite low and they are often able to be handled without gloves. This means that even people who are allergic to bee stings can safely acquire and handle a swarm.
Ease of handling
If you're into bees, then you know that handling them can be a pain. It's not that they're dangerous or anything, they're just not as easy to handle as some other pets.
For example, if you have a dog or cat at home, you can easily pick them up and cuddle with them whenever you want. But with bees? You've got to get all dressed up in protective gear before even considering going near one. And even then, there are no guarantees that the bee won't sting!
That's why Saskatraz Bees are so great: they require minimal protection and handling. In fact, they don't need any special equipment at all—you could pick one up by hand if needed! Plus they aren't aggressive and will rarely sting humans unless provoked.
Limited Varroa mite infestation
One of the biggest problems facing honeybees today is a parasitic mite called Varroa destructor. This mite feeds on bees, and it can infect them with viruses that cause disease. In order to combat this problem, researchers have been trying different methods such as breeding strains of bees that have resistance to these viruses.
This strain has been shown to be resistant to Varroa mites, and it also has a high resistance rate to viruses associated with them.
Fewer instances of foulbrood
Foulbrood is a bacterial disease that afflicts honeybees and other insects, including bumblebees. It's the most important bee disease in the world, and it's spread by spores of the bacteria Paenibacillus larvae. In the United States, foulbrood is present in every state. It's one of the most important bee diseases that keepers need to be aware of. The disease can spread from hive to hive through spores or infected bees and larvae.
The disease is most prevalent during summer and fall when bees are housed in small, unventilated hives. The disease usually strikes in large colonies that are overcrowded with numerous generations of bees. It can also affect newly established colonies.
The disease can also be spread by humans, who can carry the spores on their clothing, shoes and equipment. The symptoms of foulbrood include dead or dying brood in the hive. The infected larvae are often covered with a brownish-yellow coating. A bad case of foulbrood will kill an entire colony within two weeks.
No, or very few, winter losses
You may already be familiar with the term "winter loss," which refers to the number of bees that die during the winter months. While there are many factors that can contribute to bee deaths, one common cause is a lack of food resources or poor weather conditions.
Saskatraz bees have a higher than average overwintering survival rate, meaning that your hive will be more likely to survive harsh winters. This is due to the strong genetics of Saskatraz bees, which are known for their resilience in harsh climates.
Saskatraz Bees Cons
Hard to raise
Saskatraz Bees are hard to raise, which means that it takes a lot of time and effort to raise them. It also requires a specialized knowledge of their care and management. In order to make money from Saskatraz Bees, you have to invest in equipment and supplies as well as time and energy. Saskatraz Bees are also very delicate, which means that they have to be handled carefully. If you don't know what you're doing or if your equipment isn't up to par, your bees will die.
Rely on companies
Saskatraz Bees are not a species of bee that can be purchased and bred by the average beekeeper. Instead, they are a special strain of bees that can only be purchased from Saskatraz Bees and then placed into new hives to start breeding. This makes it difficult for Saskatraz Bees to expand quickly because they cannot breed new queens on their own, they must rely on other companies to do it for them.
This means that if you want to buy Saskatraz Bees, you will have to go through their website and place an order. Once they receive your order, they will send you the bees along with instructions on how to install them into new hives.
Conclusion
The question of whether Saskatraz bees are the right choice for you will depend on your location and situation. If you have access to them, or can get them locally, then they may be worth a try! But if not then there are plenty of other options out there too. You'll have to decide what's best for your particular situation before making any purchases or commitments though so make sure you do some research beforehand so as not waste money on something that doesn't work well with what we're trying achieve here at. | eng | d19967f5-e04f-4276-9270-bfa724bf6b9b | https://yourlawnfairy.com/saskatraz-bees-pros-and-cons/ |
But when you watch this video, you might be wondering about something. Why do we recommend drilling into the mortar, and not the brick itself?
Well, the reason is this: Most bricks today are fired in a kiln, which gives them strength and hardness, but also makes it possible for them to shatter if you drill directly into them. If this were to happen, you would have a mess on your hands. It would be a big chore to replace the shattered brick in your wall. So, for the best outcome, we always recommend drilling into the mortar, and most people get great results from this! | eng | a201ca2d-af1d-45fd-a75c-f6ff46ed9e66 | http://seejanedrill.com/attach-to-brick-mortar/ |
Fortune-Telling: What Is Palmistry? How Is It Practiced?
Do you know that the skin lines on the palm of your hands can be connected to your future? Well, why not! Palmistry believes that you can interpret the skin lines in your palm with certain techniques and read your future. So, what exactly is palmistry? How is it practiced? Keep reading to find out the answers!
What Is Palmistry?
Rooted in ancient Indian astrology, palmistry is a type of fortune-telling that allows you to obtain information about someone you don't even know by looking at their palms. For sure, there are some specific techniques to be able to practice palmistry. For this reason, you should learn about the meanings of the lines on the palm of your hands, along with the palmistry techniques.
How To Practice Palmistry And Interpret The Lines In Someone's Palm?
When you look at your hands, you will see that there is more than just one line in your palm. So, what do you think the meanings of these lines are? Let's discover their meanings before we dive deeper into the methods of Palmistry.
The Line Of Heart
The line of heart extends diagonally from the middle of the index and the middle fingers to the bottom of the palm. It symbolizes the person's love life. If it is long enough to cover the whole palm from end-to-end, it means that the person has been, or will be, having a platonic love relationship. If the line starts right under the index finger, it is believed that the emotional life of the person will get on the right track. If the line starts at the middle of the index and middle finger, it is believed that the person does not care enough about their love life.
The Line Of Head
The line of head starts at the bottom of the palm and extends towards between the thumb and the index finger. It is believed that this line controls the characteristics and the mind of the person in general. If the line of head is long, it indicates that there will be many crowds, meaning many different cities and people in the person's life. The depth of this line also shows your ability to memorize as well as the power of your mind.
The Line Of Life
The line of life starts between the thumb and the index finger, intersects with the line of head and then ends. Contrary to common belief, the length of the line of life does not determine the length of the life of a person. Because this line essentially indicates the quality of life.
If this line intersects and merges with the line of head, it shows that the person has a developed sense of belonging and is loyal. If the situation is the opposite, it shows that the person is quite fond of their freedom and they always think individually.
The Line Of Destiny
Although not everyone has it, the line of destiny starts at the bottom of the ring finger. For the ones that have a line of destiny in their palms, it is believed to indicate their reactions when they are in situations where they have no control over. If this line does not extend as a straight line, it means that the person gets angry rather easily and has anger issues. Furthermore, if this line intersects with the line of head, it is interpreted as constantly seeking changes in business life.
The Line Of Marriage
These are the small lines seen under the pinky finger. They are believed to tell you the number of times you will get married. The closer these lines are to the pinky finger, the sooner you will get married in life. If there are bifurcations on this line, it is interpreted as marriage problems and crises.
The Line Of Fame
Not everyone may have the line of fame. It usually extends parallel with the line of destiny and the two are usually recommended to be read together. It generally shows your social life, people's thoughts about you, and where you stand among crowds.
Now that you learned the lines and their meanings, you can learn how to practice palmistry. You can also leave that to the professionals and get yourself a palm reading via our Kaave app.
How To Choose The Hand For Palmistry?
To answer the question of "How to practice palmistry?", you must first watch out for the gender of the person in front of you before beginning the palm reading. Because in women, the left hand symbolizes life and characteristics, while the right hand symbolizes destiny. It is the exact opposite for men. So, depending on the purpose of the palm reading, you should consider their gender before choosing the palm to read. Once you choose the correct hand, you can start interpreting the lines according to their meanings above. Well, these are all the basic information about palmistry and palm reading. You can start practicing basic palmistry by paying attention to these details. We wish you a pleasant time! | eng | 0a775548-9c9a-471c-b8ae-e633f2dd4afa | https://tastefulfortune.com/2021/12/07/fortune-telling-what-is-palmistry-how-is-it-practiced/ |

Irreverence and public intellectualism: the kinda thinkin' behind KindaThinky
Publication date
Wednesday, 29 Apr 2015
Body
In September 2014 CPAS academics Rod Lamberts and Will Grant launched KindaThinky, an innovative live talk show that takes place in Canberra's Civic Pub. Every one of their shows has sold out, and KindaThinky has been the talk of social media. In April 2015 Lindy Orthia interviewed Will and Rod about KindaThinky and found out what it's for, why it's successful and what the heck a brony is.
LINDY: What is this KindaThinky thing for those of us who've never been and haven't watched the video?
ROD: Well you should go. And watch the video.
WILL: It's a pub show. It's a theme-driven talk show that is in a pub.
ROD: It's slathered with irreverence. We're not completely reverential about all the things. But we do have some reverence. We're semi-reverent.
WILL: I don't know if this is honest or facetious, but it's a way where we've got people to pay to watch us drink. Which is a really horrible thing to say but it's true.
ROD: Nooo. They don't pay a lot.
WILL: No they don't pay a lot.
ROD: But the idea is basically we wanted to talk about big themes. And we wanted to get different opinions - not just science, not just history, not just eggheads. Also normal people who have jobs or experience, whatever, doing things or experiencing things themselves. And bring them all together and have a yap about it in a convivial environment that can take the piss out of stuff but also cover some things seriously if necessary.
WILL: Yeah, one of the things we bang on about in sci com a lot is that everyday experience and perspectives can be really valuable.
ROD: Yeah.
WILL: And so if we're talking about any particular topic there's going to be an abstract view, an eggheady view that will be really useful, but there'll also be people that might have lived through it and can tell you what it was like for them. So, in our last episode we were looking at heresy, and there's people that are speaking about it from a free speech point of view and the laws and journalism, stuff like that. But then you get people who lived in a cult and know what it's like to escape from a cult. So it's very personal stories and they can bring that personal perspective to bear.
ROD: It's also funny though too. We're more interested in... if it's not entertaining first, then fuck it basically. It's not code for a lecture. It's not kind of sneaky 'you're going to learn but hey we'll sneak some fun in at the end'. If it's not entertaining then... That's the priority. Entertainment with purpose, but entertainment first.
LINDY: You've said on the website that this is no 'smart folks bark facts at the masses schtick'.
ROD: Yes.
LINDY: Is that how it's different from that? In that, it's entertaining first, and it's not just the book experts, but experiential experts too?
ROD: Yes.
WILL: I think the impression you get from a lot of sci com events is they feel very lecturey. You know, the stuff we hold here at ANU. Not CPAS stuff, but ANU public lectures. And the aesthetic of the lecture and how we feel about lectures is, 'is this gonna be on the test?' You know - you're in high school, you're in university and you listen to a lecture and--
ROD: It appeals to people who like lectures.
WILL: Yeah, but it feels like you might be tested on this knowledge one day, at the end of the lecture or later. We're trying to go the other way and say 'you'll never be tested on this knowledge'. If you learn nothing, that's okay. If you have a good time, that's what we want. But if you have a good time and you hear something that's a little bit deeper and a little bit interesting - it blows your mind - and you can tell your friends about it the next day, then that would be much better than 'you've gotta learn these ten facts about black holes'.
ROD: We were saying last time that, when everyone's talking about something they heard, they say, 'I've heard they said blah'. We decided that we're 'they'. Or at least we're the facilitators of 'them'. I want it such that when someone says 'they say', they're accidentally or deliberately referring to something we did. Or someone we spoke with. So I think we should become 'they'.
WILL: They.
ROD: We are 'them'. [Evil laugh.]
LINDY: Do you see KindaThinky as a contribution to the push in academic and policy circles for more dialogue around science-related stuff?
ROD: Not only science. But more around research and egghead stuff. I see it more as a contribution to public intellectualism, honestly.
WILL: Yep.ROD: It's actually just getting human faces on people who traditionally write in journals or hide in universities, hide so to speak.
WILL: I don't think we'd ever do a topic that didn't have...
ROD: Science relevance?
WILL: Well not science relevance, but research and learned relevance. So it might be historians, might be biologists, might be criminologists, might be economists. Whatever it is. But we'll always have some of those in there. And I think instead of making their expertise - you know, saying that they're a professor or that they've published a Nature paper - the front and centre thing, rather, let's talk about the topic, and they'll bring really interesting things to bear, because they've been reading on that topic for, you know, twenty or thirty years.
LINDY: Each of your shows is based on a single word theme. Where do you get your ideas from?
ROD: Fevered imaginations. Bug bears. Bees in bonnets.
WILL: Also, I think news stories actually. When something interesting happens in the news, and it's the kind of thing that you think, ooh, what's the right...? One of the ones we're talking about for next semester, there was a great story about - well it's not a great story, it's a horrible story.
ROD: So it's a shit story.
WILL: One of Australia's leading Aboriginal artists, who's won the best prize in Aboriginal art a couple of times over the last few years, his work was in the front of the National Gallery. And I remember it - it's this big brass crocodile with a sort of mermaidish person with a spear on top of it. A lot of his other work as well. Anyway, he was convicted at the end of last year for child sex abuse twenty years earlier. And then all of his art works have been removed. And so that's the interesting thing to me - was his art ever really good? Or does it now acquire this taint that we can't look at it? The parallel - I was watching a documentary on Lewis Carroll and Alice in Wonderland last night. And the big question running through the whole thing is - so they're talking about how he came to write the books, who he was, that kind of thing - was he a paedophile? And what was his actual relationship with the actual Alice? And they can't answer this question conclusively, but there's lots of things going on.
ROD: So that's why we could potentially call a topic 'Taint'.
WILL: Taint. If we were to prove that he was a paedophile, would his work become beyond the pale? Or do we kind of accept that about some artists if they're from a different time? Okay, um, I don't know, famous pederasts through the Greeks and the Renaissance, there must be heaps.
ROD: At least ten. Maybe eleven.
WILL: And we kind of accept it about that period but maybe Lewis Carroll - would we ever get rid of Alice in Wonderland? Would we stop reading it because he was proved as...? I don't know. But because this more recent one has been proved, and it's convicted in a court of law, and because he's living, it's got that taint.
ROD: So we gather four people, four kinds of people, from as diverse as possible points of view - scholarly, non-scholarly, experiential, whatever it may be. And then have them on and have a yak about it.
WILL: Yeah.
ROD: The last one we did was Heresy. Our very first one was called Limits. So we had you know, the limits of human endurance with a free diver. We had the head of ACT police traffic operations. We had an economist guy. And we had a casualty nurse. So anything to do with this notion of a limitation. We had one called Wrong - we had the head of the Scarlet Alliance. We had Father Rod Bower, who's the guy who writes all those really inflammatory but I think very morally appropriate billboards outside his church in Gosford. He was awesome. We had a dude who, what's it? A brony - men who are grown ups into My Little Pony. Under the context of wrong, because you know, they're sanctioned as wrong.
WILL: Which, looking back now, we only half asked the right questions with him. We raised some of them - like there was weird sexual undertones a little bit. But you know, the stuff that I found out more recently, there's some incredibly bizarre--
ROD: Not enough research, that was our problem.
WILL: No, I knew a bit about it, but I didn't know enough of the underground lingo to now ask him about, to say 'so what's clopping?'
ROD: We forgot to say, yeah, 'do you bonk stuffed toys?'
LINDY: What's clopping?
WILL: Oh, clopping is their term for masturbation to My Little Pony pictures.
LINDY: Oh right.
WILL: And there was this great article where it was all about masculinity and, hierarchical masculinity in subcultures. So all across the world, think about, okay there's the alpha male who's you know, the weight lifter who's rich and all that kind of stuff. But even within a very obscure subculture - bronies - there's still hierarchicalisation. And there was some guy who was kicked out of the community cos he'd had sex with a woman. And it was like...
ROD: What?
WILL: Yeah, it was like 'go be normal somewhere else, faggot!' cos he admitted to not maintaining his purity for My Little Pony.
ROD: Whooa.
LINDY: Wow. Interesting.
WILL: 'Go be normal somewhere else!'
ROD: 'We don't like your kind around here.'
LINDY: That segues nicely into my next question, which is, who is the most thought-provoking speaker you've had on a panel so far?
ROD: Oh, there's heaps actually.
LINDY: Which was the most challenging for you, each of you?
WILL: Challenging is very different to thought-provoking. Rod Bower was incredibly easy to talk to. He's a priest and he's used to being in front of an audience, both as a parish--
ROD: And he's used to poking people and getting them noisy about things.
WILL: And incredibly interesting. He's the kind of ultimate danger for an atheist. He's utterly, utterly reasonable. And really connecting on issues of social justice, he's all about social justice. So he was no challenge at all to talk to because he was really interesting, really reasonable.
ROD: I found the most challenging was, we had one on Denial, and we had a climate person, and it was the first time I've ever had a conversation with a climate-related person - I've had many from different walks of life - who had no horrible stories. Like, she had no horrible stories. Every other one I've ever spoken to has had some kind of death threat or public shaming or horrible comments or, you know, something. And she had none. And I'm sitting there going [splutter-stammer noises]. I just didn't expect that. So that was pretty challenging, there was nothing to kind of like fire off. That surprised me. That was probably the most challenging.
WILL: Yeah, challenging in a very different way, like it was hard to draw out the - what you want to try and do is draw out a good story.
ROD: We had Robin Ince at the last one, who works with Brian Cox, and he's supported Ricky Gervais doing his comedy stand-up and all that. We had him in the last one as the last guest. And I admit, when he was about to come on, I thought, is this just gonna be us watching him do stand up? How's this going to play out? But luckily he was quite happy to interact.
WILL: But by the same token, it was kind of challenging cos he was so funny, and he broke me a couple of times and I forgot what I was even talking about I was laughing so hard. And so I think the challenges are different. Another one we had was Cheryl [Renouf].
ROD: Cheryl, yeah.
WILL: Who is a prisoner advocate.
ROD: Plus she's an Aboriginal woman. She's been working with prisoners for twenty odd years.
WILL: Both of her sons have been in and out of jail for a lot of time, and so she's very close to the prisoners.
ROD: And she was nervous too, and she said so. Like, she was really nervous about getting up on stage.
WILL: Oh yeah, which is --
ROD: So we had to help her along.
WILL: So five minutes of it was quite, help her through. And then she was a crack-up, she was really... you'd hear the audience going 'oooh, wow!', and just hearing things that they hadn't heard before. And so getting a chance to listen to someone like that that you don't get from most sorts of things was really good.
ROD: Mm. You've gotta walk that line - know when to kind of make a joke out of something and know when to respectfully let the story come out. And not be a dick basically. It's a good learning experience for me, probably for Will too, but definitely for me. I've grown as a person.
LINDY: Well one of my questions is, what's the best thing to come out of this for you personally?
ROD: It's the extra work and having to pay for part of the bar tab.
[Laughter.]
WILL: Look, it is a lot of fun. And it is interesting. The conversations are actually, at their high point, are really fascinating. They're good conversations because they're like normal people talking around you - you have fun and you can make jokes, and if you've got friends around or something like that, you laugh. But also you talk about things that are important to people. And I think trying to always talk about the important only is really boring. And trying to only make people laugh is also somehow a bit boring.
ROD: Scary as all hell too.
WILL: Yeah.
ROD: The idea for me of trying to be a comedian would scare the shit out of me. But to be someone who can come from an insightful background, talk to people of interest, and keep it light-hearted as well, is much less confronting. I actually feel like it's a contribution. I mean that sounds all very, maybe over the top. But I feel like doing this is making a small contribution to getting more interesting and relevant stuff out in the real world.
LINDY: Mm. Well I was going to ask what's the best thing to come out of it for science communication?
WILL: Who knows?
LINDY: Recognising that it's not always about science.
ROD: Yeah.
WILL: Yeah, I think that would be one thing. And avoiding front-loading the word 'science' or even front-loading the expertise--
ROD: Or 'learning', 'edutainment' - you don't have to say anything like that for people to come away with more stuff in their heads than they had before.
WILL: Yeah.
ROD: I think privileging this notion of learning - and you see it all the time in more formal and old school stuff, where you go, 'you're gonna learn a bunch of stuff and have a little bit of fun along the way'. And I kinda go, [sigh].
WILL: But the thing is, because you never know who your audience is - even if you know demographics, you never know what that person is thinking about - you don't actually know what they're going to take away. And so you still get people in the days afterwards saying, 'oh, what was that thing that person said?' Or 'I used that example from someone'. And it's never something I would guess in advance because who knows what it would be? Because what's going to be useful to them? And it shows the diversity of what people can learn from something is enormous.
ROD: I think part of it is also, in terms of contribution - if we're talking about sci com and related stuff - is the kind of, it sounds a bit dramatic, but having the courage to let the format go. And so not to have this pre-existing assumption or explicit assertion that people will come away having heard this much about an issue, or that angle on a topic. We just kind of go, look, we know something useful and interesting's going to come out of it, let's just trust that's enough. And I think that is useful. I think that kind of works so far. I mean, we're very small still, it's a pretty modest enterprise.
WILL: I think it'd be interesting to see if people are coming along and enjoying it because it's at a pub and they see their friends. So there's all of those sorts of other reasons to do it. Right now we're trying to convert them into podcasts, and to get an inkling and a hope that people will want to listen to it, but it's a different format. But it could be a really nice, enjoyable, you know - someone gets on their bus in the morning and there's an hour of KindaThinky and they'll laugh along and they'll actually hear some interesting stuff. So, I don't know, we'll see how it goes in a bigger world.
LINDY: So we're barely nine months into it now. What have you got planned for the future? Are you going to run out of ideas?
ROD: I don't think we'll run out of ideas, I'm pretty confident. Finding guests, because it's so - I won't say low budget, I'll say, you know, snugly budgeted - we've gotta call either people who are going to be in town or people who are in town, around the area. So the bigger difficulty might be finding enough people to come on to represent an issue. Although so far, being in Canberra's good for that. Universities, government departments...
WILL: It's certainly better than if we were in an equivalently sized city, you know, Townsville or something like that.
ROD: Yes. So I don't think we're gonna run out of ideas. Our plan is we're going to run this year. There's two producers, it's not just us, there's Kali Madden, who's the EO for the Australian Science Communicators among other things, and her partner Adrian King. And they are behind the scenes, full-on producers and tech people, and they do heaps of work behind the scenes. And so the four of us have agreed that we'll play out this year and see how it'll grow or not grow or what modifications and that. And then we'll sort of take stock at the end of the year. So yeah, we'll do two sets of four shows and then see how it looks. That's the theory.
LINDY: Are there any other questions you'd like to answer?
ROD: Why, yes, it is worth coming along. You're right. Yes, I agree more people should come.
WILL: Incredible value for the tickets.
ROD: I can't believe how cheap it is. I also agree we should charge more.
WILL: But I'll never accept that. I'll never do that to our audience.
ROD: I would.
[Laughter.]
ROD: If pushed by other people.
WILL: Yeah, so get in now rather than later.
ROD: We are getting pushed. Every time we talk to people about it, people go 'you should charge more' and we're like 'ah...' [conflicted sound].
WILL: Nup.
ROD: Should we? Really? Ah...
WILL: Nup.
ROD: Cos it's a tough line to draw. I don't know.
WILL: It's a squeaky budget.
ROD: Very.
WILL: And it's one of those things that, you know, to try and make these things sustainable, it requires a lot of volunteer effort at the beginning.
ROD: Heaps.
WILL: And then, even then it squeaks through on the skin of its teeth.
ROD: It takes a lot of work to make it look like it didn't take much work. There's a lot of effort behind the scenes. We break even on the event...just. Like there's twenty bucks each time, it just breaks even on ticket sales. So no money made, no, like, producers don't get paid.
WILL: And that's only for selling out. And we're not guaranteed to sell out, we've got to work on this.
LINDY: But you have sold out every time.
WILL: Sold out every time.
ROD: So far.
WILL: But there's always... Some people will come originally and they don't like it. But I think it's not that, I think you get people that go 'okay, it's a permanent fixture now, so I won't go to this one I'll go to the next one'. So you've still got to continue to re-market all the time. So it's not a guarantee, not 'once it's done five it'll just guarantee to sell out'.
ROD: No, we are not complacent about that at all. There is no level of complacency on that in any way, shape or form. Constant anxiety. But good. You know, fuelling anxiety. | eng | b301d9e9-0c1c-40a7-80cd-02e462fb9884 | https://cpas.anu.edu.au/news-events/news/irreverence-and-public-intellectualism-kinda-thinkin-behind-kindathinky |

Therefore, only offer a small amount of lettuce at a time. Alternatively, try offering it to your cat alongside her dinner.

Ask Sam: Our landlord won't renew our lease and we think it's because we have a kid. What can we do?
We just found out that our landlord will not renew our lease and we think it is because we have a child. When we previously renewed our lease, our rent increase was double our neighbor's increase, even though we live in same-size units. Prior to having a baby, our rent increases were the same as our neighbors. Is there anything we can do?
The New York City Human Rights Law prohibits discrimination in housing on the basis of having children, in addition many other factors, like race, religion, and age. There are also anti-housing discrimination laws in place at the state and federal levels.
Note that unlike market-rate tenants, rent-stabilized tenants have additional protections, including the right to have their leases renewed (with some specific exceptions) and strict caps on rent increases.
If you suspect you're being discriminated against by your landlord, you have a number of options, but your best bet is to start by filing a complaint with the New York City Human Rights Commission.
In the long-term, if you successfully prove discrimination, the HRC can require the landlord to rent the apartment to you, impose fines on the landlord of up to $250,000, and award you compensatory damages, as well as your attorney's fees.
There may be an even quicker path to holding onto your apartment, though.
"The downside is that this can be a very lengthy process," says David Hershey-Webb, a partner at HMGJ law. "If you have an attorney write to the landlord on your behalf informing them of the law and threatening to file a complaint, in many cases the landlord will do the right thing because they don't want to be on record as engaging in discrimination."
There are possible defenses for landlords accused of discrimination. In some instances, landlords may be able to convince the HRC or courts that they are declining to renew the lease for non-discriminatory reasons—for instance, because the tenant has repeatedly damaged the property, or is causing disturbances that rise to the level of a legal nuisance.
For your part, if you file a complaint with the HRC or hire an attorney, they will conduct an investigation on your behalf. And it's also worthwhile to talk to your neighbors and confirm that those without children are not being denied lease renewals.
Because investigating a discrimination complaint can take a long time, it's likely your lease will expire during the process. If you decide to stay in the apartment, your landlord could begin the process of evicting you.
"The filing of a complaint doesn't stay the commencement of a holdover proceeding, so the tenant will probably have to go to court," Hershey-Webb says. "We've had many cases where the holdover was started and then stayed, pending determination of the discrimination complaint."
And if your landlord does sue to evict you in housing court, you can raise a discrimination claim in your defense, and it's possible the court may dismiss the case entirely.
But even if you prevail in housing court, there's a downside: You will end up on the tenant blacklist, which can make it difficult to rent a new apartment in the future.
There's another practical issue to filing a discrimination case: the matter of how much time and money you want to spend on this. Winning the case doesn't mean you'll get to stay in the apartment forever; your landlord may decline to renew your lease in the future at a point when it's difficult to prove discrimination.
"If it's not a rent-stabilized apartment and you're not planning to live there for the rest of your life, you might be better off spending your time and money finding a building where your child will be welcome," Himmelstein says.

Book Review: THE HOUSE OF MOUNTFATHOM by Nigel McDowell
Summary:
Mountfathom is a place of magic and mystery. Smoke-casting threads through the air, wallpapers move and there's a door that can lead anywhere – if you dare brave the Dark.
Son of the House, Luke, is desperate to start learning magic, to use it like his parents and their friends do to protect Ireland and its people. However, the troubles could bring down the house and his life. If he wants to save Mountfathom, Luke must pair with street-rat Killian and embark on a dangerous adventure.
Thoughts:
It's a fun read, set in an alternate during and post-WW1 Ireland. This setting creates a background of tension, as Luke and his family own a large house and have English connections right when houses are being looted and burnt.
The story was interesting, if a little confusing at times. It pulls you along with an unpredictable tale of magic and family. There are nice little twists along the way, and the ending is somewhat unexpected. Personally, I like it.
The prose has a whimsical air, and is more literary then usual for a YA fantasy book. I found the combination of third person and present tense a little odd at first, but soon got used to it. However, I didn't get used to the fact that sentences often don't start with/contain a noun. Just keep this in mind if you're reading. During 'Gloaming' sections of the book, there's no speech marks, which can make working out what's being said a little hard too. Also, no chapters, but there are often mini-headings. | eng | 4422255d-d05f-4ed2-b9a7-96759a1d0c51 | https://sifaelizabethreads.wordpress.com/2018/09/05/book-review-the-house-of-mountfathom-by-nigel-mcdowell/ |

Description and Appearance
The Koi carp is a species of freshwater fish that is native to East Asia.
The fish are characterized by their bright colors and patterns, which have made them a popular choice for ornamental ponds and aquariums.
The name "koi" is derived from the Japanese word for "carp," and the fish are also known as carp koi or Nishikigoi.
Koi are descendants of the common carp and have been bred for centuries in Asia for their aesthetic appeal.
Today, koi are kept all over the world, and they come in a wide variety of colors and patterns.
The most popular colors include white, black, red, yellow, blue, and orange.
However, koi can also be found in shades of green, purple, pink, and brown.
Patterns vary widely, but some of the most common include marbled, stippled, and spotted.
Koi are gentle creatures that enjoy being around people.
They are often seen swimming near the surface of the water, where they will come to beg for food.
Koi are hardy fish that can live for decades with proper care. They are relatively easy to care for compared to other freshwater fish but require ample swimming space.
Koi typically reach lengths of three feet or more, making them one of the largest freshwater fish species. In their natural habitat, koi can live for up to 25 years.
