Learning Irregular Verbs: A Quick Grammar Guide
Using verbs is already an inseparable part of the English language. Moreover, it has its own spotlight in the aspect of grammar. To add more spice to its complexity, irregular verbs create a challenge for many language learners. There may be commonly used irregular verbs, there are still a lot more that we need to get acquainted with and to recognize. Thus, learning irregular verbs is definitely essential.
Unlike regular forms, learning irregular verbs is completely different as they do not observe a definite pattern or rule. The regular ones form their past tense by adding –d or –ed at the end of its base form. On the contrary, irregular verbs may remain unchanged or may have a totally different form.
If this causes a great deal of concern to you, fret not. Let us go through a list of how to form the irregular types of verbs. Grab a notebook and a pen as we start learning irregular verbs.
As an equally important matter, one good tip in learning irregular verbs is to simplify them according to their type. With a vast number in this group, we can identify four different types and see their common characteristics.
The Changeless Type
Irregular verbs under this type remain unchanged. It follows the same base form, past simple and past participle forms. Learning irregular verbs of this group is a piece of cake.
The Identical Past
While some remain unchanged in all forms, there are also certain irregular verbs that only have the same past forms. Both the past simple and past participle are the same. However, its base form differs.
Nobody had told her about the surprise until she heard them planning about it. (past participle)
The Unique Past Simple
Unlike the previous type, irregular verbs under this group have a completely different past simple form from their base and past participle forms. There are only a few in this list, which makes learning irregular verbs a bit lighter for you.
Base Form
Past Simple
Past Participle
become
became
become
come
came
come
run
ran
run
Example:
What time will she come home? (base form)
With much time during the day, the supervisor came early for the program. (past simple)
They had come a long way from here. Nevertheless, they enjoyed the trip. (past participle)
The Different Mix
In contrast to the first type, irregular verbs categorized under this type have a totally different base form, past simple and past participle. Because each of these forms differs from one another, there may be more words to learn. Well, let us take it easy and focus on the top 10 common irregular verbs under this type.
Before we officially met, I had already known him through his vlogs. (past participle)
Essential Learning Points
Learning irregular verbs may not be as easy as 1 2 3, but it surely helps to constantly go through some essential points.
First, familiarization is key. Familiarize the different irregular verbs and commonly used words under each type. Second, do not settle with knowing and familiarizing alone. Go for application or practice. Keep a note of a set of words to practice regularly. Finally, listen to short stories or watch video clips that you find interesting. Then, list down irregular verbs used in the chosen media source and practice using them as well.
Now, are you ready for a head-to-head battle? No, I'm not picking up a fight. I'm just curious how well you've grasped this information about learning irregular verbs. There is still a lot to learn perhaps, but nothing always beats consistency. Keep grinding till you master it. | eng | 6bb0d70e-a822-4f02-bbb4-57599d645f45 | https://qqeng.net/Learning/learning-irregular-verbs-a-quick-grammar-guide/ |
LMACS Open to Students Who Need the Support Most
"The small setting, close personal touch, and family culture climate that's personalized and warm," is what first interested new Executive Director Sean McCarthy about Lowell Middlesex Academy Charter School (LMACS). For 25 years, LMACS has offered students who need it most an inclusive and supportive learning environment that guides them toward successful futures.
McCarthy's goal for the 2021-2022 school year is to build upon what has worked well for the school and make it better. This includes bringing in newer technology – such as smart boards teachers were trained on before the start of the year – and reaching out to students in the surrounding areas of Lowell to increase enrollment and show the public "what we're all about."
"I feel so compelled by the mission that LMACS sets out to achieve," McCarthy said. "We're here to help students who are struggling with or are not finding themselves fitting into the regular high school experience."
In partnership with Middlesex Community College, the accredited public charter high school serves students between the ages of 15 and 21 who have left school or are at risk of dropping out. LMACS draws from the surrounding areas of Lowell and across the Merrimack Valley, including Tewksbury, Nashoba, Billerica, Lawrence and Methuen.
"We pose a viable opportunity to help students succeed," McCarthy said. "They can get their diploma, career and college readiness, and social and emotional competencies."
Focused on educating and supporting the whole student, LMACS guides students in addressing social and emotional challenges, while helping to develop their identities, interests and abilities as students. In addition to coursework, students are provided with a school-to-work component, daily advising, and an opportunity to participate in Dual Enrollment at Middlesex.
"LMACS provided opportunities for me I didn't think I had," said Izabella Jones, an LMACS alumna. "I never thought I'd graduate, let alone be able to take a college class while I was still in high school. The small class sizes are comforting, not intimidating."
McCarthy believes that an added benefit for students is that at the school, everyone knows their names. This provides students with an opportunity to build a connection with an adult and have that person advocate for them and know when they're struggling. "So many of us in life want and need that," he said.
"LMACS is an opportunity for those who haven't been dealt a fair deck to succeed," said Melanie Coehlo, an LMACS alumna. "It is a second chance to realize your potential and understand that you are worthy of success. The staff here genuinely care about you and your future."
The 2021-2022 school year will be held in-person. As a small school with about 100 students and 15 faculty members, the school can follow health and safety guidelines, while also focusing on the individual needs of students, according to McCarthy.
Running on a trimester basis, LMACS offers three enrollment periods throughout the school year. The first enrollment deadline is October 1. Students also have an opportunity to enroll in the school in November and February. The different entry points help students who have gone to bigger public schools and are struggling, which is "a function of who we are and who we serve," McCarthy said.
An educator for over 20 years, McCarthy started his career in education teaching English in the Lawrence Public School System. Before coming to LMACS, he was the Interim Head of School at a charter school in Salem. When he saw the job posting for the new Executive Director role at LMACS, he said he was "deeply connected and drawn to it."
"Students thrive here with the small setting, opportunities and experiences," he said. "If you go to LMACS, you know you're going to get the support." | eng | 05270c8d-a4b6-4414-a9d4-95c240c7d93b | https://www.lmacs.org/blog/2021/09/19/lmacs-open-to-students-who-need-the-support-most/ |

When we look back at the good ol' days, the only days we remember are when we laughed to the fullest with our friends, right? Do you remember laughing so hard that you forget what the joke was? We've all been in this situation, and while making these precious memories, none of us wants to worry about hiding our teeth.
If you have yellow teeth, then laughing without worry is a dream, isn't it?. Yellow teeth can make us feel small in social settings, and many may feel embarrassed for the same. We are here to tell you that you too can get a celeb-like smile you always wanted, and can smile as big as you want and let your pearly whites shine in just a few basic steps!
Yellow teeth: what does this mean?
To explain simply, you may start seeing yellow teeth as you age, which happens when the original white shade of enamel starts changing its shade. Some teeth may start changing colour before others, resulting in more visible discoloration.
Having yellow teeth is super difficult to hide from the eyes of the people; this is mostly because the yellowing of teeth usually starts from the front teeth which are always visible. Now that you know what yellow teeth mean, let's understand what causes them. The causes will also help you take precautions to avoid yellow teeth in the future.
Causes of yellow teeth
Many believe that the yellowing of teeth is unavoidable but that is not true, if you follow proper oral hygiene and a healthy lifestyle then having clean, white teeth is a possibility. However, with our busy lifestyles today, perfect teeth have become merely a dream, and many reasons cause yellow teeth in our mouths without us even knowing about it.
There are many causes of yellow teeth like the build-up of plaque, and thinning of the outermost layer of the teeth or enamel that erodes from the teeth over time. Sugary foods also contribute to the teeth becoming yellow.
Treat yellow teeth today
The treatment for yellow teeth is not difficult, but finding the best orthodontist can be. You can check out many home remedies and teeth whitening tips for your pearly white smile. You can opt for at-home or in-office teeth whitening procedures.
The simplest thing that you can do is brush your teeth everyday with flouride toothpaste as it is highly effective in keeping you safe from all the germs that linger on. You should also make lifestyle changes like quitting alcohol and smoking, as these can prove to be super helpful in the long run.
Visiting your dentist regularly every 6 months can contribute to your optimal oral health, as this would allow you to have your pearly whites for a long time.
Time to whiten your teeth!
Having yellow teeth is more common than you think, and if you also have yellow teeth, it's completely okay! toothsi teeth whitening kit is here to save the day!
toothsi makes all your teeth whitening dreams come true and to give you a celebrity-like smile. We have a team of expert orthodontists with years of experience to help you in your journey to improve your oral hygiene.

In my article, I will consider how semester exams affect students' emotional stability. This topic is particularly acute for many students who face various mental problems in the background of their studies. Moreover, this topic is relevant for students who expect final exams at the end of the academic year. I plan to take a comprehensive approach to the research for this article and study various aspects of the impact of exams on the emotional state of students. This comprehensive approach includes the study of the two most important factors: psychological and social. I plan to study how the psychological pressure of the semester exams and the students ' environment affect their mental health.
In order to qualitatively approach the writing of the article, I can refer to writings from previous issues of GWRJ with a similar topic. Database collections will also help me gather all the necessary statistical information for the study. I am confident that conducting personal interviews will help gather students' opinions regarding this problem. However, it will be difficult for me to arrange meetings with each respondent in the current epidemiological situation. Thus, additional multimedia research by watching videos and lectures might replace the method of face-to-face interviews. Finally, I think that the inclusion of photos in the article would be inappropriate since they do not fit the topic.
I will incorporate such course themes as uptake in order to conduct my research for this article. The uptake will help to take a more comprehensive approach to writing an article and collecting information. Incorporating this course theme will also provide more accurate research results, as it will thoroughly cover the problem. However, a number of difficulties might occur when writing an article. First, as mentioned earlier, collecting data through interviews would be very useful. Unfortunately, the current situation with the coronavirus does not allow for safe meetings with students. Moreover, any topic related to behavior and mental health is complex. Each person is different and reacts to different situations in their own way. Therefore, it becomes difficult to identify any specific and accurate results. In conclusion, the potential outcomes should be identifying the impact of each semester's exams on students' mental health | eng | fadda88b-62c5-47de-ada0-e030b54c2f86 | https://chalkypapers.com/how-semester-exams-affect-students-emotional-stability-article-proposal/ |

Human civilisation will collapse after nuclear war but that might allow the rewilding of the planet and multiple geological epochs to come and go before the planet is sucked into the giant sun as PP said above
But don't fret about things beyond your control- enjoy your life and seize the day
You could argue that some of the issues with immigration are actually the start of it. Immigration from many places is driven by climate change and conflict. Everyone heads to less impacted places and those places start to worry about resources.
It's just a dog whistle now, but it's coming. The Debt Boomerang by Susan George is an oldie but a goodie on this. It's about how 'Third World Debt' bounces back onto the First World. The same can be applied to climate change. The planet is a system and things like drug trade, deforestation, weather, immigration and war affect us all.
Putin is popping some in Belarus. North Korea keeps testing. Israel has them. Saudi and Iran have signed an agreement that seems like they will be pooling resources for nuclear development because, you know, Israel. Russia opting out of nuclear treaty. It's only a matter of time. I wouldn't say imminent but it's on the cards and proliferation makes it all the more likely - but if it's inevitable or outwith our control, it's better to ignore it and crack on with living
Naaaa I think a mega virus will finish off the humans. If we don't die of fall scale nuclear war first. Hopefully it's a virus as it'll leave the earth in a better state to recover before the very end of time
I think that the human race will die out in a lingering manner; there is a video called 22After on Vimeo that fictionalises it very well. And gloomily.
We, humans, are certainly trying to cut off the branch we are sitting on - but I hope that Mother Earth does survive us. One of the most (ridiculous) chilling films of recent times, "Knowing", had an end scene that was so depressing that I refuse to look at it again. I doubt though, and hope, that it was not portentous.
Yes we'll colonise Mars at some point. Unlikely terraform it in any meaningful way in the next 500+ years, if ever. Going to Mars and uncovering it's history is important, even it seems a bit sci-fi.
The moon will almost certainly be used as a bus stop for solar system travel, and manufacturing off earth. People will live there for short stints.
We'll probably even end up mining raw materials from relatively nearby asteroid belts.
I reckon the human race has got at least another 50,000+ years to run, notwithstanding any kind of species ending asteroid. Even then we'll probably survive and thrive again. We'll survive more world wars, and even partial nuclear decimation. Humans are way too resilient.
We won't even fully run out of space, as population growth will eventually slow down once the third world becomes more developed. We'll probably start to live naturally to 120 years+, and finally be able to turn back the clock and live lives of 1000s of years.
It's possible we may end as a species as we know it, as we move more towards technology augmentation. Sounds a bit Borg, but we're already 1/4 the way there.
In 5billion years the sun will have used up all of its hydrogen.
It will become a red giant star and swell beyond the orbits of the inner planets.
whatever beings are there at that time will be as different from us as we are from the first single celled creatures.

As always, Kindergartners have been busy. In February we celebrated Valentine's Day with our Special Person Celebration. The children did a great job as they sang under the direction of Ms. Southard, our music teacher. They loved making heart boxes for their special guests, and decorating and eating desserts. Thank you to our wonderful Class Captains for all their hard work coordinating the event. The 100th day of school was another exciting day, and they did lots of counting all day! The month culminated with lessons about George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. Of course we have been busy with Guided Reading groups, Writing, listening to stories, learning about weather patterns and writing equations in math for groups of 10 and some more.
March was another fun filled month, full of all the academics plus lots of green as we celebrated St. Patrick's Day in our classrooms. Kindergartners have also been talking about the signs of spring as we welcomed in the new season. We look forward to more spring exploration and learning as we continue enjoying our time together in school.
K Grade Highlights December 2022
December was a month of sharing family traditions and holiday fun! Throughout the month, the children were involved in a Gingerbread Man book study. We read many different versions of the book and compared them. We celebrated the holidays by playing with dreidels and decorating gingerbread houses. Thanks to our class captains, Mrs. Ferrara, Mrs. Feldman, Mrs. Buonomo, and Mrs. Cole for all their hard work organizing these events.
Kindergartners were excited to meet the rest of the letter people. They learned about the sound each letter makes, read their poems, and improved their fine motor skills by coloring and cutting out the puppets. In writing workshop, the children were hard at work during our 'Writing for Reasons' unit, exploring writing stories using kindergarten inventive spelling as well as making lists and cards.
In science, the students are learning about what a scientist does and realize that they are scientists, too! They share their observations in their science notebooks.
Thank you to all our wonderful parent volunteers. We could not have accomplished our fun celebrations and events without your generous donations of time and supplies. We look forward to a new year filled with many more fun and meaningful learning experiences. Wishing you all a happy and healthy new year! | eng | 8e8a1ba1-081e-4400-8de6-765e3f7d92d0 | https://www.nmerrickschools.org/domain/568 |
(BUSINESS NEWS) We're seeing record numbers of resignations – some are calling it a labor shortage, but it's a worker's market as they are in demand. Employers need to rethink their culture and benefits to retain good workers.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported a record number of resignations in April (with the trend continuing in May). Over 2.7% of the workforce, or 4 million people in the United States, quit their jobs.
With millions of workers already out of work following the worst recession in U.S. history, and employers complaining about labor shortages, what's behind this trend?
You can blame the "Great Resignation" on politics, the extended unemployment benefits, a 600K+ population decrease due to COVID-19, or low wages, but there may be something even more basic behind workers leaving their jobs – economics of supply and demand. Employees are finding better jobs in greener pastures because they have the upper hand.
Labor shortage or realignment?
Businesses pivoted their services when the pandemic struck. This has carried over to workers.
Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.
The hospitality industry practically shut down, giving many workers a chance to redefine their decisions about what industry they worked in. Many restaurants discarded their workers at the beginning of the pandemic. Even though the sector was hard hit and many had no choice but to lay off staff to stay afloat, is it any wonder that those workers do not want to return to places of employment where they felt disposed of, with physical jobs that paid low wages, little-to-no benefits, and harsh conditions?
Employees have the leverage to demand better, so they are taking advantage of that opportunity. Workers are re-examining their work-life balance, their commute, and their happiness.
It's not only about wages. It's about opportunities for growth. It's about preventing burnout. It's about not getting penalized for needing a day off when you're sick. It's about having sick days to take care of kids or family members. It's about regular schedules where you can take classes or plan for day care without worrying that you won't get your 40 hours. It's about healthcare and retirement benefits.
You can't expect your workers to be loyal to your business without giving more than a paycheck. Work isn't just about paying the bills.
Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading.
People want their work to accommodate their life.
To stem the "Great Resignation," employers need to wake up to giving their workers respect in meaningful ways, not just telling them they're lucky to have a job, or adding a ping pong table to the officeLet's see. Your answers are below
1) Overwhelming the younger generation votes for liberal politicians who promise to regulate businesses
2) The same politicians have taken money away from public education and diverted it to social programs that pay people not to work. Thus university have to raise tuition and boarding prices to meet their budgets
3) Work from home as long as you meet your deadlines for deliverables and come to the office when a meeting requires
4) Listen to what the politicians actually say, not the 5 second sound bite the media shares and see what they actually support and what regulations are on their agendas
5) Everyone wants free healthcare, but tell me who pays for it? IF you are one of the idiots that advocate a government health care service then look at the lines at the DMV next time. So healthcare is not free. Telling healthcare wake up because there will be a payroll tax to pay for government healthcare instead of a payroll deduction for insurance. And recognize the efficiencies at the DMV as what you are advocating for healthcare. IS that what you want??
6) The bullshit and fabrication you mention is just your recognition that the liberal crap they feed you in the overpriced university for the bullshit sociology degree does not prepare you for a career or life.
Conclusion) The mini revolution as you call is (drumroll) Your dumbass finally become an adult and recognizing life is not utopia | eng | 01a3d220-80a1-4e8b-88da-cf695074ad89 | https://theamericangenius.com/editorials/the-great-resignation/ |

If it just depended on this weather, we'd simply wear a huge puffer coat, from head to toe!
But since there's no inspiration (or blog) that can survive like that, let's make an effort to ignore the weather and wear something cute anyway :p
There's a saying here in my country that says that wearing white in January means lack of money! - I could never understand this saying, I must say!
If people said that white clothing gets easily dirty when it rains... ok, I get that! But it's just a matter of being extra cautious!
What if it's January, and it's not raining (it's not the case, I now, but it could be)? What would be the excuse to not wear white then?
I perfectly remember one day, when I was a little kid, I was wearing white pants on a winter day at school and someone told me that those weren't winter pants. I was completely caught by surprise! "What do you mean, these aren't winter pants?". The fabric wasn't even that thin!
And that's just the way I am! If I don't get it, I won't follow it :p
So, white it is. And a cute little pink coat, to sweeten things up a bit :p | eng | 19d543bf-3039-4f36-a7cb-909f5fe6d2ba | http://www.mykindofjoy.com/2018/01/sowhite-it-is.html |
How Much Does a Fifth Wheel Cost in 2023?
Have you ever wished you had a home on wheels? A true home away from home? If so, then you've probably considered buying an RV. You may even own one already. Not all RVs are built to be a home, however. Each RV type has its purposes and limitations. Most are made for short camping stints—a great temporary home, but not so great for long-term use.
Fifth wheel RVs are built for extended living. In fact, my neighbors sold their home last year and bought a fifth wheel. For them it's not just a home away from home, it's their literal home.
Houses aren't cheap and while fifth wheels are not nearly as expensive as the cost of buying a home, their price tags can still be quite hefty. At Bish's RV, we sell the whole gambit of fifth wheels, from entry-level mid-profiles to full-profile luxury models.
We know people shopping for fifth wheels are most likely experienced RVers looking to find a large camper with all the amenities and comforts of home. Whether you're an RV expert or buying your first camper, we're happy to help with any of your fifth wheel cost questions.
How Much Does a Fifth Wheel Cost?
Many factors affect the cost of a fifth wheel RV, but in general, you can expect prices to range from $39,000 to $150,000. This article will dive into all the factors that determine the cost of fifth wheels, including:
Why is it called a Fifth Wheel?
A fifth wheel camper typically has 4 wheels and larger fifth wheels actually have 6. So why are they called "Fifth Wheels"? The name "Fifth Wheel" actually refers to the hitch that's used to tow the RV. Back when fifth wheel hitches were invented (the mid-1800s) they were circular and added to horse-drawn carriages to haul trailers.
Since the round shape of the hitch was the same shape as the carriage wheels, the hitch was jokingly referred to as a "fifth wheel". Today, fifth wheel hitches are U-shaped, but they're still called "Fifth Wheel Hitches". Fifth wheel hitches are installed in the back of trucks and provide a safe and stable way to tow larger, heavier trailers.
Fifth Wheel Price Range
Many factors combine to determine the final cost of a fifth wheel, from manufacturer size and quality of building materials to model upgrades and add-on options. To give you a quick pricing reference, we've put fifth wheels into 3 categories:
Entry-Level Fifth Wheel
Price Range: $39,000 – $80,000
Although we're calling the first tier of fifth wheels "Entry-Level", in Bish's 30+ years of selling RVs we've learned most people buying fifth wheels are not first-time RVers. What we consider entry-level fifth wheels are primarily units that lack a bed in one of their slides.
Entry Level Fifth Wheel Examples
Mid-Tier Fifth Wheels
Price Range: $45,000 – $100,000
Mid-Tier fifth wheels are primarily fifth wheels that have a bedroom located in a slide. (Some bedrooms even have 2 slides.) When you look at mid-tier floor plans, you'll also notice more amenities are included. Mid-tiers come in various sizes, but can be as large as 44' long and 8.5' wide.
Mid-Tier Fifth Wheel Examples
Luxury Fifth Wheels
Price Range: $74,000 – $150,000
What makes a luxury fifth wheel "luxurious"? There's no real defining feature; it's just one of those things where you know it when you see it. A combination of quality, options, and technology pushes an RV into the Luxury Tier of Fifth Wheels. In a luxury fifth wheel, you'll find features like larger bathrooms and kitchens, expensive finishes, and bonus amenities that let you camp in style and comfort.
Luxury Fifth Wheel Examples
What Drives the Cost of a Fifth Wheel Up or Down?
1. Floor Plan: A fifth wheel's floor plan is one of the greatest contributors to its cost 2. Materials: The materials used to construct an RV affect the final cost 3. Add-ons and Upgrades: Additional features will drive up the cost 4. Location and Time: Where and when you buy your Fifth wheel matters 5. Financing and Insurance: It's important to factor these in when determining the total cost
How Does the Floor Plan Affect the Cost of a Fifth Wheel?
The floor plan of a fifth wheel refers to its layout and configuration, including the number and placement of rooms, slides, and other design features. Fifth wheels with more square footage, like those with multiple slides, typically cost more because of the added labor and materials needed to build them—plus they offer more living space, so they're worth more money.
Along with the number of slides a fifth wheel has, where those slides are located on the RV, such as a kitchen slide or a bedroom slide, can also greatly affect its price. Additional floor plan features, like a fireplace or an outdoor kitchen, will also impact the price of your fifth wheel.
Floorplan: Forest River Cedar Creek 311RL
How do Materials Affect the Cost of a Fifth Wheel?
The materials used to build your fifth wheel will greatly affect its cost—higher quality materials result in a higher-priced camper.
Frame: A steel frame is typically less expensive than an aluminum frame because aluminum is a lighter weight, more corrosion-resistant metal.
Siding: Fiberglass siding is more durable and offers better insulation. Fifth wheels with fiberglass siding will usually be more expensive than those with aluminum siding.
Roofing: Higher priced RVs typically have a more durable, leak-resistant fiberglass or metal roof, while less expensive RVs usually have a rubber roof.
Interior: RVs with solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances are more expensive than those with laminate cabinetry, plastic countertops and basic appliances.
Add-ons and Upgrades
While add-ons and upgrades can greatly enhance your overall RV experience, they can also significantly increase the overall cost of your fifth wheel. Here is a quick list of some add-on options that can increase the cost of your camper:
Extra sleeping space, such as added bunk beds or pull-out couch
Residential refrigerator
Entertainment center
Automatic leveling system
Solar Power System
Custom Lighting options
Where and When You Buy Your Fifth Wheel Matters
Location
Where you buy your RV can impact the final price you pay. RVs are shipped from the manufacturer's factories to the dealership lots and the freight fees are usually added to the sales price of the unit. The farther a dealer is from a manufacturer, the higher the shipping fees included in the price. Additionally, in larger cities, there's typically a higher demand for campers, and this drives prices up compared to more rural, less populated areas. RVs sold in popular vacation spots and tourist destinations can be priced higher, due to their increased demand in those perfect camping areas. registration fees and the cost of insurance are also affected by your location.
Time of year
Manufacturers offer dealers better value starting in the fall and through the winter Manufacturers often offer discounts to dealerships in the fall to increase demand as the camping season comes to an end. RV Dealers pass these savings on to customers. Dealers offer end-of-year discounts. Dealers can be counted on to discount heavily in the fall and winter to make space for the next year's models. There are little changes in a model from year to year, so you're often able to buy the current year's model at a discounted price.
Financing and Insurance
RV Financing: Most people who buy an RV don't just pay for it outright with cash, they get help financing it through personal loans, credit unions, or dealership financing. The interest rate and terms of the loan will affect the overall amount of money you end up paying for your fifth wheel. A higher interest rate increases your RV's overall cost, and a longer-term loan may decrease your monthly payment, but increases the overall cost of the loan. In 2023, you can expect to pay interest rates around 6.5%, but rates will vary, depending on who you finance with.
You can apply here to see what financing options are available for you through Bish's RV. You may want to also check out our payment calculator to see your potential monthly payment with different price/financing options.
RV Insurance: Nobody's happy about paying for insurance until they need it. RVs require a specific type of insurance that is different than automobile insurance. RV insurance offers higher liability thresholds than car insurance. Factors that will affect the RV insurance cost are the RV's age, the location where it's parked and the level of coverage desired. On average, you can expect to pay $250 to $1500 a year for RV insurance.
Why are Some Manufacturers More Expensive?
You may have noticed some manufacturers and brands of fifth wheels are more expensive than a similar fifth wheel made by a different manufacturer. Some factors that affect how much a manufacturer charges for their RVs are:
Size of company: Smaller manufacturers tend to charge more since they are not able to buy in bulk or mass produce their campers as efficiently as the larger companies
Location of company: Manufacturers closer to building materials can charge less due to lower shipping and freight costs
Quality control" The more quality assurance inspections that are part of a manufacturer's production process, the higher the costs to produce their RVs.
Next Steps to Find Your Fifth Wheel
With such a wide range of fifth wheel prices, it's important you don't just understand what the price differences are, but why the price differences exist in the first place. Now that you know the factors affecting the cost of a fifth wheel, you're ready for the next step—finding your fifth wheel. Nothing makes us happier at Bish's RV than being able to match a family with the perfect camper. We know buying an RV is a big deal, and shouldn't be rushed—so do your research, take lots of notes and when you find the perfect match for your family and budget—take the plunge. You won't be sorry. | eng | 914631e9-adf8-4551-baf8-1d104f46bc26 | https://www.bishs.com/blog/fifth-wheel-cost/ |

TI-AIE: Reading for information
What this unit is about
In this unit you will explore ways of helping your students develop effective skills to read for information. By incorporating texts from a range of subject areas into your language and literacy classroom, you will support your students' active reading across all areas of the curriculum.
You will be introduced to a number of activities that are suitable for students from Class V upwards. These include an 'anticipation guide' to prepare students to read unfamiliar or challenging texts, a list of features that can support them in locating the key points in curriculum subject texts, and a table that can be used to distinguish the importance of the ideas in a passage. The unit also encourages you to monitor your students' progress and adjust your teaching accordingly.
Reading and understanding information is a key life skill that will make a significant difference to your students' success in school and beyond. Your role in teaching them a range of strategies to read different types of information-based texts is therefore vital, particularly if they have few opportunities to read outside school.
What you can learn in this unit
How to plan activities that develop students' skills in reading for information.
Ways of incorporating active reading strategies into subject lessons.
How to monitor your students' progress in reading for information.
Why this approach is important
As students progress through school, they are required to read increasingly complex texts in all subject areas. The ability to understand and use the information they read is key to their success in learning. Successful students have a repertoire of reading strategies to draw upon and will know when to use them. These include, for example, anticipating the content before reading a text, focusing on picking out its key points, or stopping to reflect on the meaning of each section. Struggling students will need to be explicitly taught these strategies in order to become better readers and active learners.
1 Learning to read for information
When we read in real life, we usually read for a particular purpose and to find out information. We usually don't focus on individual words, but on the overall meaning of what is being communicated, or the particular details about something we want to find out. In Activity 1, you will think about some of the texts you encounter in your everyday life and how you extract the information you need from them.
Activity 1: Reading different types of information-based texts
Think about the information-based texts you have read during the last week. These might have included a newspaper, an online technical manual, a train timetable, a recipe, advertisements, road signs or your students' written homework. List at least four that you can recall and then answer the following questions:
Why did you read the texts?
Which texts did you simply skim to pick up the key points? Which did you have to read slowly or more than once?
Did you have difficulty understanding some of what you read? If so, how did you work out the meaning?
What do you know about what your students have read during the last week?
Different texts will make different demands on your reading skills. An official document or instruction manual may include unfamiliar technical terms or jargon. A newspaper article may refer to places and issues beyond your experience and understanding. Your students' homework might incorporate irregular spellings. Even proficient, fluent readers regularly face challenges of this kind.
People's backgrounds and prior experiences play an important role in helping them to make sense of what they read. If you are already knowledgeable about a local health campaign, for example, a leaflet about this would be immediately comprehensible to you. Without this background knowledge, you might only be able to guess at the meaning of the leaflet. Students are constantly developing their knowledge of the world around them. Their ability to interpret what they read will thus be developing at the same time. common features of such texts, they will be easier to follow. In the next activity you will practise looking for such features.(Adapted from Dhar, 2013) Suggested answers to Case Study 3

A Guide to Tufting guns
What is the difference in tufting guns?
There are many types of tufting guns on the market, but the diffence lies mainly in the following primairy characteristic.
Height of the pile
Cut or loop
Other characteristics to consider are tufting speed, the weight of the gun and the finishing.
Pile Height
Electrical machines are perfect for the average rug with piles upto 21 mm, but air-driven machines create higher piles.
Cut or loop
A cut plie machine includes a small scissor that runs trough the needle, it cuts the loop after tufting it through the fabric. A loop pile machine, just leaves it as a loop. As it does not cut, you will have to manually cut it after each lane of tufting.
Some machines do both, and allow you to deactivate/remove the scissors from the machine | eng | b8529e94-f8db-49c9-9803-147a6d53743f | https://tuftingshop.com/en-dk/pages/a-guide-to-tufting-guns |

Stock Tank Pool vs. Traditional Pool: Pros and Cons
Cost
One of the primary considerations when deciding between a stock tank pool and a traditional pool is the cost. Stock tank pools are generally more affordable compared to traditional pools. Traditional pools require excavation, construction, and expensive materials, which can quickly add up to a significant cost. On the other hand, stock tank pools are much simpler and cheaper to install. They are made from large metal or plastic tanks that can be easily purchased from suppliers or farm supply stores at a fraction of the cost of a traditional pool.
Installation
The installation process for a traditional pool can be time-consuming and complex. Excavation work may be required, which can disrupt your yard and landscaping. You will also need to hire professionals to install the pool and the necessary plumbing and electrical systems. In contrast, stock tank pools are relatively easy to install. Once you have the tank, it can be placed directly on a leveled surface, and you can fill it with water. Some additional plumbing work may be needed, but the process is much simpler and can often be done by the homeowner.
Size and Space
Traditional pools come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and depths, allowing you to customize them to your specific needs and available space. They can be large enough to accommodate swimming and other water activities. However, the size and space requirements make traditional pools more suitable for larger yards. Stock tank pools, on the other hand, are smaller and more compact. They are ideal for small yards or limited outdoor spaces. You can also find stock tanks in different sizes, allowing you to choose the one that fits best within your available space.
Maintenance
Maintenance is an essential aspect of owning a pool. Traditional pools require regular cleaning, chemical balancing, and maintenance of the filtration system. This can be time-consuming and may require the services of a professional pool maintenance company. Stock tank pools, although smaller, still require regular maintenance. However, the maintenance tasks are generally simpler and can often be done by the homeowner. You will need to monitor and adjust the water chemistry, clean the tank regularly, and ensure proper filtration. Additionally, stock tank pools may require more frequent water changes due to their smaller volume.
Aesthetics
The aesthetics of your pool can significantly impact the overall look and feel of your outdoor space. Traditional pools offer endless possibilities for customization. You can choose from different materials, shapes, and finishes to create a pool that matches your vision and complements your landscaping. Stock tank pools, on the other hand, have a more rustic and unique appearance. While some may find the simplicity and industrial look of a stock tank pool appealing, others may prefer the elegance and versatility of a traditional pool. Consider your personal style and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve in your outdoor space before making a decision.
Conclusion
Choosing between a stock tank pool and a traditional pool ultimately depends on your individual needs, budget, and available space. If cost and installation simplicity are your primary concerns, a stock tank pool may be the ideal choice. However, if you prioritize customization options and a larger swimming area, a traditional pool may be worth the investment. Evaluate the pros and cons of each option and consider your long-term visionfor your outdoor space before making a decision. Whichever pool you choose, be sure to prioritize proper maintenance to ensure years of enjoyment. Enhance your learning experience with this recommended external website.

How to Train a Dog to Go Outside
June 14, 2017
Training your dog to go to the bathroom outside is the first, and most important part of his training. No one wants to live in a world where urinating and defecating on the rug of your home are accepted practices.
That's why potty training is the first thing on the mind of every dog owner. But training your dog to go outside isn't an immediate process. It takes time, it takes patience – and it takes the right tactics.
Training Puppies and Rescues
Training a puppy to go outside is easier than training a grown dog. Adult rescue dogs can have unfortunate histories – and little training. If you have recently rescued an adult dog that isn't potty trained, don't worry. Adult dogs have the same desire to please you as puppies do. They're just a bit more set in their ways.
Puppies have their own challenges. While they are more pliable, they also have short attention spans. It may take you longer to train a puppy than an adult dog, or vice versa. But remember that your adult dog will react differently – sometime more emotionally – than your puppy will. Your patience will be key whether you are training an adult rescue or a precocious puppy. Make sure you give your dog the benefit of the doubt, regardless of his age.
Tips for Training Your Dog to Go Outside
There are various ways to train your dog to go outside, including:
Repetition, Repetition, Repetition
Dogs learn like people – through repetition. There's a reason the most popular children's shows are so maddening to parents. Hearing the same thing over and over again can drive you crazy. But children, and dogs, learn most efficiently through routine.
Giving your dog the same commands – and taking him to the same spot every time he has to go to the bathroom – will help him associate the action with the command and the atmosphere. Little by little, your dog will learn that when he has to go, he knows where to go.
Monitor Your Dog at All Times
Training your dog is a process. You must monitor the process at all times. Your dog or puppy will take every opportunity to go inside the house if you're not looking. The more often you miss the act, the more empowered your dog will feel to continue to go inside. Let your dog know the eye in the sky is watching. He'll notice. And he'll feel like he's doing something wrong.
Every instance you can catch your dog doing the deed in the house is a teachable moment. When you catch your dog in the act, immediately carry or direct him outside to finish. This is the best method for showing your dog what the right reaction to nature's call is. If you repeat this process a handful of times, your dog will become housetrained very quickly.
Pick Your Spot
Encouraging your dog to go in the same spot every time he has to go is the key to housetraining. Not everyone, though, has the luxury of shuffling their dog out the front door into a private yard. If you live in the city, or in a smaller space, your options can be limited. That doesn't mean, however, that you can't apply the same principles of potty training.
If you have a small place and a small dog, you may want to utilize "pee pads." Pee pads provide your dog with a designated spot to do his business. It has the same effect as teaching a dog to go outside – except that it's inside your home, which, admittedly, is not ideal. Many trainers will caution against the pee pad approach – with good cause.
But many people don't really have a choice. Here's the god news – pee pad training can help you transition your dog to going outside. While its true that he will get used to going inside your home, he'll also get used to a routine and going on a certain spot – as opposed to in a certain spot. You can use this to your advantage. The spot is more important than the area. Learn the difference – and teach it | eng | 00c594c9-79d2-4d4c-b611-a0b672fa049c | https://canna-pet.com/articles/train-dog-go-outside/ |

ShareAll sharing options for:The Differences Between Umpires
A study was done breaking down the differences between MLB umpires from 2007-10. The difference in runs scored between the pitcher and hitter-friendliest umpire was more than two per game (7.91 vs. 10.16).
And some umps even incorrectly called pitches more than 30% of the time.
My own opinion is to have the homeplate ump wear a small earpiece and let GameDay (or a similar system) call balls and strikes. If it's a strike, the ump hears a beep and motions for a strike. A ball means no beep. For the time being, we'd still need an ump there for plays at the plate, to give balls to the pitcher, to watch for balks and catcher interference, and to help on fair/foul calls. | eng | c142503a-7b0c-456a-b51c-ca35ff3e75b1 | https://www.pinstripealley.com/2011/4/4/2090626/the-differences-between-umpires |

Instead, you can sit back, relax, and arrive at your destination on time and in comfort.

The rapidly increasing rate of children being diagnosed with ADHD, especially boys, in the United States should concern parents, teachers, therapists and doctors. The only conventionally recognized treatment to help these children is pharmaceutical medication. These medications are addicting and can result in long term changes to brain structure and function. Most importantly, they don't address the root cause of the issues these children are experiencing. There are many alternative options and steps that should be taken before even considering any pharmaceutical intervention.

The use of VPNs raises several legal and ethical considerations, including jurisdiction and data privacy laws. Here are some key points to consider:
Jurisdiction: VPN providers are subject to the laws of the country where they are based. This can impact the level of privacy and security that a VPN provider can offer. For example, some countries may require VPN providers to log user data or to comply with government requests for user data.
Data privacy laws: VPN users should be aware of data privacy laws in the countries where they are located and where their data is being transmitted. Some countries have strict data privacy laws that require explicit user consent for data collection and use, while other countries have more relaxed data privacy laws.
Legality of VPN use: Some countries have laws that prohibit or restrict the use of VPNs. For example, China has strict laws regulating the use of VPNs, and Russia has recently enacted laws that require VPN providers to comply with government requests for user data.
Ethical considerations: Some ethical considerations around VPN use include using a VPN to access content that is restricted by local laws, such as accessing content that is banned in a particular country. Additionally, using a VPN to engage in illegal activities or to harass others is not ethical.
Overall, it's important to carefully consider the legal and ethical implications of using a VPN. Users should choose a reputable VPN provider that has a clear privacy policy and takes steps to protect user data. Additionally, users should be aware of the laws and regulations in their country and in the country where their VPN provider | eng | 0800b7ac-0b52-420c-9bf2-8c8c18240286 | https://vpnw.com/the-legal-and-ethical-considerations-surrounding-vpn/ |
India's lost lockdown generation
All his life, 15-year-old Rehan Shaikh was known as a quiet, respectful, promising boy. His teachers praised him, frequently telling his mother how bright his future was going to be. In his hometown of Anjangaon, in central India's Wardha district, he threw himself into sport and local festivities.
Yet for the past two years, he has hardly been seen. Stuck at home during the pandemic and shackled by his family's financial insecurity, Shaikh abandoned education in 2021. Since then, he has been working on haulage trucks, transporting goods to nearby cities as a "cleaner", assisting the driver and maintaining the truck. Once an outgoing teenager, now Shaikh only visits home every few days, often for just a few hours between trips. His childhood, as he knew it, is over.
Shaikh's story is far from unique. Three years on from the pandemic, the entire world is still reeling from its effects. But in India, the restrictions were particularly extreme: in March 2020, when the whole world was shutting down, the Modi government imposed what became one of the world's harshest lockdowns. With just four hours' notice, more than a billion people were confined to their homes — and 1.5 million schools were closed. The country's 247 million children were then condemned to "online" learning, little more than a euphemism in a country where only a quarter of students had any internet access. The long-term social effects of lockdown are slowly becoming apparent across the world — but in India, where education was already stratified by savage disparities of wealth and resources, its crippling consequences are already devastatingly clear.
In the region where Shaikh lived, smartphones and the internet were even scarcer than the Indian average. Local activists say internet coverage stood at less than 5%. "That's when we realised that it was futile to think that we could deliver education digitally in rural India," says Rahul Bais, who set up Swarajya Mitra, a local not-for-profit that campaigns for children's rights. But while those on the ground like him realised the futility of online education, the Indian government pushed ahead. In a statement in August 2021, the Modi government highlighted the steps it had taken to ensure "no loss of education" during the pandemic. Topping the list was a government website named "DIKSHA" which hosted material such as school textbooks, educational TV and radio programmes, and YouTube videos.
Except, in areas like Wardha, none of it could reach students. S.S. Athawale, the principal of a government-funded secondary school in the area, the Dr Devidas Karale Vidhyalaya, explains: "Of, say, 100 students, only 20-25% of the children's families had mobile phones. But 10% had analogue phones, and the 10% who had smartphones had no money to top-up their data. So, we were really able to reach only 5% of the children, depriving the remaining 95% of even basic education." And even when students had both smartphones and the money for a data plan, the patchy internet connectivity in their villages stymied their efforts. Many students, faced with the seemingly indefinite interruption of their education, simply lost interest in their studies or turned to work to support their struggling families. When schools finally reopened for offline education in 2022, students in Shaikh's position never returned.
And the effects of this are already tangible. A countrywide study, the 2022 Annual Status of Education Report, which surveyed more than 700,000 Indian children, found that children's basic reading abilities had deteriorated to levels last seen in 2012, while their basic arithmetic skills had also regressed sharply to levels lower than in 2018. In another survey of school teachers in Jharkhand, one of India's poorest states, 53% admitted that most of their pupils had forgotten how to read and write.
Shaikh's story echoes across the villages of Wardha. Overnight, the pandemic forced many children to become adults. In the tiny village of Kinhala, just a 20-minute drive from the state highway, the single road barely sees any traffic. Instead, throughout the day, the road sees a steady stream of young children, mostly girls, walking up and down the street with steel pots. The village's common source of water is a well, around 600 metres away from the village. Children who dropped out of school now find themselves huddled around the well several times a day, waiting for their turn to draw water.
Among them are 16-year-olds and best friends Amruta Shelke and Nikita Dabhekar, both of whom are no longer at school. Shelke's mother passed away after an illness two years ago, coinciding with the pandemic. Since then, she has had to shoulder the burden of running the household while her father Prakash works in the family's farm, cultivating cotton and soybean. "He looks after the farm while I take care of the household duties like cooking and cleaning and tend to the cattle," Shelke says, standing outside the hay-roofed cattle shed adjoining her home.
Her friend Dabhekar has a similar story. Her father died during the pandemic, threatening the family's financial stability. Debhekar had no choice but to work full-time as a labourer in the farms, earning £1.50 a day for a seven-hour shift. For years, Dabhekar had been straddling the world of labour and education — she would work for a week or so, before going to school for a couple of days and then back to work. But the pandemic disrupted this cycle of intermittent educational forever. She hasn't given up on her education yet. But, she says, "we've just not been able to make enough money, so I have to keep working".
Although similar stories abound across the region, official government data stubbornly refuses to reflect the self-evident crisis. Last year's government report claimed that more than 785,000 additional students were enrolled in schools at all levels, from pre-primary to secondary, between April 2021 and March 2022 when compared to enrolment the previous year. But this claim relies on dubious data-keeping practices, as local teachers and principals admit. "Even when we know that a student is unable to come, we keep their names on the rolls because, that way, they'll be easily able to come back whenever they want," said a teacher at a secondary school in the area, who did not want to be named.
According to his mother, Shaikh himself, who has not been to school since 2020, is still on the school's rolls as a student, and is officially in the tenth grade. Students like him only visit school to appear for examinations and are often allowed to go through the years without a strict test of their abilities. Teachers insist that such steps are taken out of compassion for students, but local activists say this "compassion" also conveniently allows schools to escape scrutiny for their absentee students.
Bais argues that many in Shaikh's position have at this point lost interest in schooling, having instead tasted the freedom that earning a salary brings. And others are put off returning by the sense that they have fallen irretrievably behind their peers. "We tried to re-enroll students who had dropped out, but we realised that they were too anxious about how other students around them would make fun of their ignorance," Bais says. "The pandemic has shattered their confidence." Shaikh's mother Rehana, who had steadfastly refused to let her children work, have had no choice but to acquiesce to their children's wishes. "My son tells me when we need money, no one will help us. So let me go and earn," she says.
In a country that is both the world's largest democracy and an aspiring superpower of the coming century, the long-term implications of this silent crisis could be stultifying. "After the pandemic pushed children into earning a living, many children started wondering why education was even necessary," says Bais. "They would see their parents were doing similar work. As a result, many children asked us, 'if we have to grow up and do this exact same work, why even bother finishing our education?'"

I was able to do the task, but some things are not clear and I'd like if someone can help me clarify:
When we declare
Selectable selectable =newFood();
What does exactly the created object references to? We cannot instantiate an interface... So, are we actually creating a Food object, but the only methods available are the ones belonging to the interface? Using the instanceof method like below, it return true on both, so why the onEat() method is not available from the selectable object?
>What does exactly the created object references to?
we actually creating a Food object.
>why the onEat() method is not available from the selectable object?
the only methods available are the ones belonging to the interface
The set of available methods is determined by variable type.

The ecosystems within Great Smoky Mountain National Park--from old growth forests to balds--support a wide variety of birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, mammals, and plants. This new addition to the Visitor's Companion series describes and illustrates in full color dozens of these plant and animal species. It also explores the park's geology, climate, and history--at once a traveler's guide, field guide, and natural history of one of America's most popular national parks. | eng | a45d9fe7-d5d8-412d-870c-85cc2d23ff40 | https://books.google.ht/books/about/Great_Smoky_Mountains.html?id=l1QF4RatTtMC&redir_esc=y |
When 59-year-old 'Amanda' moved into the community of Samville in March of 2014, there was no electricity there. The single mother of six had decided to move into her own house, leaving a tenuous temporary situation in the nearby community of Kuru-Kururu, just off the Soesdyke-Linden Highway.
"Gyul, when I fuss come hay, de chirren had to study with kero lamp," Amanda told this publication.
Another resident stated that when she moved to the village in 2009, the place was "bare bush", and everyone started to clear their part. As time went by, she stated, more persons came to live there, and the area became more populated.
Samville is a small residential area consisting of approximately two hundred persons. It supposedly got its name from one of the first residents, Sammy, who has lived there since its inception. The community, however, received electricity only in 2015, and not by integration into the national grid, but via the provision of solar panels.
59-year-old 'Amanda' stated that when she moved there, her household and those of other residents were relying on lamps as their primary source of light at the time.
This, however, changed in early 2015 after the distribution of solar panel systems to the community. The package, distributed by the PPP/C Administration, consisted of one 65Watt solar panel; one solar power GEL battery, two Edison screw light bulbs and bulb sockets, and a switchboard with attached solar power-charging systems. Packages were distributed one per household to everyone living there at the time.
Transitioning from kerosene lamps to solar panels was very impactful, as residents were now able to do more to ensure the comfort of their families, and not just survive on their basic needs. They were then afforded the use of electrical appliances such as fridges, TVs and microwaves, and had access to WI-FI systems and more, enabling residents to live more comfortably.
The lives of their children have also been improved, and they can now access proper information from researching the web for school projects, assignments, SBAs, and even homework. And they can now study under the comfort of an electric bulb, which reduces strain on the eye and is more convenient at night.
Solar power is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy. Its technologies can harness this energy for the generation of electricity, providing light and a lot more. Photovoltaics, one of the three ways to harness solar power, generates electricity directly from the sun via an electronic process, and that electricity is then used to power anything, from small electronics to homes and even large commercial businesses.
Today the appliances of most residents of the community are still powered by solar system-generated electricity, whereas other residents who moved there following said distribution use generators to assist. | eng | 5f8e104d-6dc3-4efd-85c4-a3883438db10 | https://stluciachronicle.com/from-kerosene-lamps-to-solar-power-transformation-of-samville-2/ |
The origin of the present site of Dungeness
was an English harbor of the same name. However, the present town was preceded
by New Dungeness, a site visited by an English sea captain in 1792 named
George Vancouver. He named the location New Dungeness as it reminded him
so much of the English harbor. New Dungeness began to grow as a settlement
during the mid 1850s as homesteaders filed claims, established businesses
and began to develop the land. Ocean going ships began to call at New Dungeness
to take on provisions or lumber and sometimes sought refuge from storms
in the protected harbor. In the early 1890s, the bay had become so shallow
that ships coming into the harbor became stranded at low tide and the town
began to fade. The townspeople picked up their belongings and moved eastward
about a mile and a half in 1891. From that time forward New Dungeness was
referred to as Old Dungeness or Old Town and the new settlement was simply
Dungeness. The people of clamored for a railroad but it was not to be. In
time, the merchants picked up their businesses and moved south to Sequim.
As a shipping center, the town was doomed as rail and auto freight began
to supplant maritime freight. Dungeness still retains much of its original
atmosphere and is well worth a visit.Submitted by Henry Chenowith.

ppx-expect
Ppx_expect is a framework for writing tests in OCaml, similar to
Cram. Ppx_expect mimics the existing inline
tests framework with the let%expect_test construct. The body of an
expect-test can contain output-generating code, interleaved with %expect
extension expressions to denote the expected output.
When run, these tests will pass iff the output matches what was expected. If
a test fails, a corrected file with the suffix ".corrected" will be produced
with the actual output, and the inline_tests_runner will output a diff. | eng | d530e77e-4e9a-468e-8580-4ce568881fc4 | https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ocaml-ppx-expect |
GREEK ORGANIC KALAMATA OLIVES IN EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL VACUUM
Hand-picked Kalamata olives are the most famous olives in the world. They are preserved in extra virgin olive oil and vacuum-packed to maintain their freshness.
Greek Pony Farm's philosophy of organic farming is based on a unique ecosystem in which a pony herd is actively involved in the cultivation of the olive groves. This is an innovative cultivation combination that produces olives and premium olive oils in a unique way. | eng | 2b4b8940-6a5d-4154-a4e5-157084f9dad7 | https://www.tablespoon.bg/products/greek-premium-kalamata-olives-in-extra-virgin-olive-oil-vacuum |
If that's an "average" show to you, then your bar is in a weird place. You can not like the show, but if that's "average", then your scale is wildly out of whack.
For example, I truly dislike "Seinfeld". I think it is unfunny and mean-spirited. But considering its place in the comedic landscape, I would never say it's an "average" sitcom. It's one I don't like but it obviously appeals to many others so I'm willing to accept that there is something significant there - it just doesn't work for me.
I wouldn't say "I don't understand why people are going crazy for it"…like I see something they don't.
This goes for all kinds of things I don't care for - wine, sports, cooking, jazz music, etc.
lol, what??? It's just an average show to me. I'm sure you would say the same about a lot of the stuff I like that I think is really well made. I don't care how good it looks or how nicely edited it is.....if it doesn't deliver for me overall (i.e. acting, story, et.)......oh well.
I had a quick question in my head about this during the final scene as well, but then I realized the exposition already provided was enough for me. It was pretty clear that outside of David's enforcers, the rest of the townspeople only gathered when David deemed it ok (mealtimes, services) and otherwise they remained in their respective homes so they would stay protected (and controlled and ignorant of things like their fellow humans being used for food). This wasn't a walled-off thriving community like Jackson where people were able to just mill around safely and David clearly used the constant threat of potential danger to his advantage. That was surely extra true when the townspeople knew the enforcers had gone out to find the very dangerous man that had already killed one of their own. I had no problem accepting that no townspeople would be showing up until David had given them the all-clear that the threats had been neutralized - or even accepting that they never leave their own homes anyway outside of the designated times provided by the leadership for mealtimes or specific tasks.
Yeah, I was wondering where they all were too, but thinking about it a little more it does seem kinda obvious that David ruled with an iron fist, and they all made the same decision to let this run its course. | eng | 2674d45b-5809-41d2-8adb-e20d9d23d399 | ERROR: type should be string, got "https://forum.dvdtalk.com/tv-talk/657424-last-us-s1e08-%93when-we-need%94-3-5-23-a-3.html" |

Questions about SID numbers in the domain environment
Last Update:2013-11-26Source: InternetAuthor: User
Developer on Alibaba Coud: Build your first app with APIs, SDKs, and tutorials on the Alibaba Cloud. Read more >
When operating systems identify users and computers, they are not identified by names, but by SID numbers. What is a SID number? The Chinese name of a SID is a security identifier, this is a bit similar to our ID card number. It is a long string of characters. When you create an account, the system will assign it a SID number, after you delete this account, create another account with the same name, even if the password is the same, but the two accounts are definitely different, because the SID numbers are different. To view the SID of an account or computer, you need to use a tool named psgetsid produced by sysinternals: This is a command line tool, you need to run the command in the CMD environment. When you run the command for the first time, a dialog box using the Protocol appears, for example: Click "agree" or press Enter. If no parameter is provided, the SID of the current computer is checked by default. To view the SID of an account, follow the name of a specific account after the command. In the domain environment, the domain also has a SID. This SID is the same as the SID of the first domain controller in this domain, for example: As shown in the figure, the domain name is cdtb.com, and server2 is the first domain controller in the domain. We can see that the SID numbers of the two are the same. Create an account named test in AD and view the account SID: It can be seen that the account named test has a SID number = Domain SID + a number, and this number is also called the RID (Relative ID ). We all know that in Microsoft's domain environment, in order to avoid stability and reliability issues caused by a single DC, at least two DC servers need to be built in one domain. If we do not want a DC to continue serving as a DC, We need to uninstall the Active Directory components above it. On that day, a student asked me, since the SID of a domain is the same as that of the first domain controller, if there are multiple DC, unmount the Active Directory on the first DC in this domain to make it a member server. Will the SID of this domain change? To be honest, this problem was really difficult for me at the time. I did not really think about this problem, nor did I do this experiment. However, based on experience and theoretical knowledge, the SID number of the domain will not change, but I'm not sure about it. I'm probably sure about it. Why am I so sure? Because SID is related to security settings, such as permission settings, if you downgrade a domain controller to change the domain SID, all the original security settings are invalid. This is extremely unreasonable, so I can conclude that the Domain SID number will not change. However, after all, this remains theoretical and still needs to be proved by facts. Therefore, I used VPC to build an experiment environment. The above is the experiment environment, then, the first domain controller of the domain is successfully downgraded to a Member Server (the specific process is not detailed, please refer to the relevant information), and then log on to a DC, use psgetsid to check whether the SID of the domain and the SID of the test account have changed. For example: Obviously, the SID number hasn't changed, just like I guess. The machine that is downgraded to a Member Server (that is, the original master Domain Controller server2) Is the SID number changed? Use psgetsid for viewing, such: Obviously, the SID number has changed. It can be inferred that the SID number is re-generated when the domain controller is downgraded to a Member Server. In fact, in the domain environment, the SID of all domain controllers is the same as that of the domain controller. In other words, when you upgrade an operating system of a Server version to a domain controller, its SID is changed to the domain SID. On the contrary, when a domain controller is downgraded, a new SID is generated, which should be randomly generated.

How does social change happen?
Lori Rubeling's Likely Stories: chaos and cosmos Stevenson University exhibition provides an example for how we might tell 9/11, COVID-19, and Climate Change "origin" stories. Likely Stories origin story features the climate crisis. By 3D modeling the scale and carbon sink processes of a giant sequoia tree Professor Rubeling reminds us that without shared definitions and a common purpose, social change is not likely to happen. The exhibition's likely story narrative expands into the history of philosophy, specifically the history of architectural philosophy. Abstract research frameworks that imagine possible environmental futures are also featured in the exhibition.
This webinar is a panelist conversation. UX designer Ebony Kenney, artist and community activist Rikiesha Metzger, and artist, designer, and SoDA planning committee member Richard Stanley will join Lori Rubeling in discussing the themes presented in the Likely Stories: chaos and cosmos exhibition. Attendees will also have an opportunity to share their Covid-19 stories.

Superflow Rebate scam
Go to page
I just recieved a letter from Mobile containing everything I sent them for their Exxon Superflow rebate. They sent it all back saying I didn't provide proof of purchase. That included two handwritten reciepts and two cash register reciepts for the two cases and two jugs of the stuff. The UPC code is IMPOSSIBLE to remove from the jugs, so I wrote down the numbers. At any rate they rejected the whole thing, including UPC from the cases. I called the 1-800 and pled my case, the customer service rep said she would put in a recomendation to pay, after a long conversation. If I don't get my rebate, it will be a 0w20 day in Hades before I but another Mobile product, too many other good oils out there. BITOG'ers beware!!!!
I find that a well written factual letter to the CEO(in this case) usually results in favorable action. The CEO may not write you back but I bet the decision to honor the rebate does not end up in the hands of the "rebate rep". I had a similar experience with Whirlpool recently and a letter that starts from the top and works down seems to work better.
I never allow the promise of a rebate to influence my buying, whether it be oil or other things. I buy only if I am willing to pay the price without rebate.
This is because of my experiences with companys refusing to re-imburse the rebate even though I complied fully with the written instructions to get it.
I think it is really unfortunate when a company that sells high quality products as Mobil refuses the rebate. I could come closer to expecting such from a shyster seller does that. Yet, nothing excuses it.
$50 Site Donor 2023
Non-rebate payment circumstances is why Advance Auto doesn't see any of my business anymore. I never received my $15 Maxlife rebate. With 5 vehicles in my driveway, Advance is a big-time loser in the long run. If you sent them the UPC off the cardboard box - plus receipts - plus numbers off the jugs, well I don't blame you for not using that product anymore.
They refused mine (I had put a UPC that was a shipping label off the case). I sent it back and it was rejected each time until I discovered my mistake. They responded each time with a letter saying to enclose their letter and they will accept the form even though the time limit on the offer expired.
I thought that was classy enough for me. You really can't blame them for trying to weed out a few people who might be trying to rip them off.
First off, I hate rebates. But the rules are explicit.
In this case, I would have either bought just enough oil that I was going to use within the time the rebate had to be post-marked, or dumped the oil into another contaner & cut out the UPC.
Once a co-worker got denied a rebate because he sent his STAMPED envelope out through company mail. Staff in the mail room ran his STAMPED envelop through the company's meter stamp. The rebate was denied due to the meter stamp...even though regular postage was on the envelope, too!!!
I usually read the rebate slips with a magnifying glass! I try to do everything according to what is on the rebate slip. I've never had any problems. I have seen some rebates that indicate you can write the upc codes if getting the labels is difficult. I think the last one I saw like that was Pennzoil Platinum's latest rebate.
I've never had problems with Superflo rebate. Always rec'd the check. they run rebates on this oil 365 days/yr. the problem you came across is the upc codes. handwritten receipt? Look at it from Mobil's side, If they approved the rebate, It would be easy to exchange the oil without receipt with UPC intact to places and keep the rebate. However, I do agree that they are a hassle to get off, but it can be done. I just peeled the corner and tear up.
I let it influence my buying. I specifically won't buy anything from BestBuy because of how lame the rebate process is. I'll wait 6 weeks until the exact same product is that price without a rebate. That's the fastest I've ever gotten a rebate back ..if ever. I think I filled out a rebate form for DVD's from Staples that made them free after the rebate ..it never showed. They were cheap enough already so I wasn't going to spend another 1/2hour of dealing with it.
This is what, I'm sure, the rebate processing houses count on. Our inability to "find time" for needlessly complicated and lengthy rebate rituals. I just don't buy the products. One could say that I'm someone who can't figure my way through the maze. Not so. I don't find the maze a worthwhile use of my time when it's an ongoing scam to snag consumers that can't figure their way through the maze and are too busy (or otherwise overwelmed) to deal with it. For the lower $$ items ..typically more money leaks from my collective household wallet then I can recoup on saving $2-10 on anything. That is, conservation of needless spending could yield far more then buying stuff to get money back on it
Some rebates are denied if the envelope is not hand written! Good thing I read the fine print. I have a habit of printing envelopes by computer, which prints the bar code and helps the Post Office with delivery.
One pet peeve is when you buy multiple items for rebate in one trip and each one requires the original receipt!
I avoid rebates whenever possible. I buy based on the pre-rebate price and if there's a rebate too I'll send it in.
Why do companies have rebate programs anyway? What is the economic strategy involved compared to selling at a lower price to begin with?
quote:Why do companies have rebate programs anyway? What is the economic strategy involved compared to selling at a lower price to begin with?
The strategy is this: if they sell it for a lower price, everyone who buys the product gets the benefit and the company makes less profit. If they sell it for a higher price with a rebate, then only those people who care enough to do the legwork will be rewarded...and I've read that the percentage of people who actually follow through on rebates is quite low.
quote:Why do companies have rebate programs anyway? What is the economic strategy involved compared to selling at a lower price to begin with?
I'm BestBuy. I purchase a whole lot of your item with the contractural obligation that you cannot sell it at a lower price to anyone else without giving us the the difference. After I and a few other major discount retailers pay for your initial run, you find that demand for your product is higher or lower then anticipated and more profit (or losses to be contained) is there to be had. You want to sell it for a $25 discount per unit. So you're obligated to discount each unit that I've already purchase that same amount. You do this directly to the consumer, who pays me the entire amount based on my preprogrammed profit structure that brought the item to market at the currently offered price.
Accck! My rejected rebate letter (Dear 'last name in caps') just came back again today! I forgot to put the form back in the envelope with everything this time. This is getting funny, the postage is eating into my rebate. I wonder how many times they'll let me do this. | eng | 3511ee1f-7c97-47f2-98ed-946e0bd0c616 | https://bobistheoilguy.com/forums/threads/superflow-rebate-scam.52237/ |
Oh My Promises
I've been shamingly using Promises for years without really taking the time to explore beyond then and catch.
Big big mistake. There's so much more. then and catch are just the tip of the iceberg.
Promise, the main idea
Let's begin considering what's a Promise.
Loosely speaking, think of a Promise as an object which may deliver a value.
As the name Promise suggests, the concept behind is: I don't have a value now but I promise to deliver once I have it.
As such, a Promise can be in one of these states:
pending: initial state, on waiting.
fulfilled: operation resolved, successfully completed (on success).
rejected: operation rejected, failed (on failed).
When the Promise is either fulfilled or rejected can be called settled.
Note that settled is not a state per se, but just a convenient term you can use when you want to say a Promise is completed.
At this point you may feel the harshness of the definition, so let's use an analogy to clear things up.
Imagine a friend who wants to borrow some money from you. If you agree, your friend promises to repay the money in 5 days.
Assuming you lend the money, you'll be in the pending state (on waiting) for 5 days.
After 5 days, two things could happen. One, your friend returns the money, in that case, the return money operation is successfully resolved (fulfilled). Two, something happens and your friend is not able to return the money, the return money operation failed (rejected).
In pseudo-code it could look like this:
var returnMoneyPromiseA =
new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => {
resolve('event on success, friend return money')
}, 5_DAYS_IN_MILLISEC);
});
// When returnMoneyPromiseA is created is in pending state
// Promise {<pending>}
// this is because your friend will return the money in 5 days (setTimout)
// for the next 5 days returnMoneyPromiseA is in state `pending`
// After 5 days returnMoneyPromiseA will be
// Promise {<fulfilled>: 'event on success, friend return money'}
var returnMoneyPromiseB =
new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
setTimeout(() => {
reject('event on failure, friend not able to return money')
}, 5_DAYS_IN_MILLISEC);
});
// When returnMoneyPromiseB is created is in pending state
// Promise {<pending>}
// this is because your friend should return the money in 5 days
// for the next 5 days returnMoneyPromiseB is in state `pending`
// Your friend couldn't give you the money back.
// After 5 days returnMoneyPromiseB will be
// Promise {<rejected>: 'event on failure, friend not able to return money'}
then
Let's talk now about the most used method within promises: the then method.
The key point to remember is that then always return another thenable object, that is a Promise.
This is the most important™ and underrated detail about promises so I'll repeat, thenalways return another Promise. Even when your onFulfilment returns a number, that will be cast to a fulfilledPromise.
This is powerful because you can keep passing the value to the next then and so you can use Promise to chain multiple functions till you get the desired result.
In the example, we created an input validator merely using Promise.resolve, catch and the chain of then.
This should give you a sense of how easy and convenient it is to split and chain functions using then and catch.
What makes it so easy and convenient? Well, because all the functions within the then are pure functions with no side effects, no global states, just plain input/output.
Aggregators
As you start dealing with group of promises there may be times when you may want to do something if the group is in a specific state.
In this type of situation aggregators, a set of Promise static methods, are here to help you.
To get an idea about how they work let's examine Promise.all.
Promise.all allows you to get a group of promises and wait until all of them are successfully completed.
Promise.all by itself returns a new Promise and if any of the promises in the group fails then Promise.all fails too.
So, let's extend the input example above to a form example
// Let's assume you have a form with multiple inputs, each one with some validation
// in case of a validation fail you want to disable the submit button
function validatePostcode(value) {
return Promise.resolve(value)
.then(toString)
.then(trim)
.then(isNotEmpty)
.then(is4DigitLong)
.catch(() => (showErrorMessage(), Promise.reject("postcode-error")));
// Note how we use `Promise.reject` to propagate the
// rejection to `Promise.all` as by itself catch would
// return a fulfilled Promise, which would not trigger
// the catch at the `Promise.all` level.
}
// You can imagine several functions in the same spirit of validatePostcode
Promise.all([
validateName(inputName.value),
validateLastName(inputLastName.value),
validateStreet(inputStreet.value),
validatePostcode(inputStreet.value),
])
.then(enableSubmitButton) // if all the promises are fulfilled
.catch(disableSubmitButton); // if any promise is rejected
As you can see, you can use Promise.all to create abstractions on top of group of promises which you can use to trigger actions.
The beauty of this is that you're still using promises.
Summary
We're close to the end so it's time to recap.
We saw the general concept of a Promise, the states it can be in, the then method, catch, Promise.resolve() and Promise.all().
With these concepts in mind, you should be able to explore the docs. Probably the most interesting parts are going to be Promise.prototype.finally() and the rest of the aggregator functions like Promise.allSettled, Promise.race and Promise.any.
If you liked what you saw here it may interest you RxJS as well, which is basically Promises with steroids. If the idea tingled your curiosity you can check RxJS in less than 5 mins. | eng | 80e2850a-85ef-4bd6-85cc-83a8aca29f49 | https://adropincalm.com/blog/oh-my-promises/ |

ulip trees (Liriodendron tulipifera) have two primary pests both of which produce honeydew and both of which are actively feeding now. Tulip tree scales are brown bumps that live and feed on branches. They were covered in a recent blog post and detailed article. Adult tulip tree aphids (Illinoia liriodendri) are similar to other aphids. They are yellow with dark antennae and dark cornicles. Winged adults may become darker. Nymphs are smaller and yellow.
Tulip tree aphids occur wherever tulip trees, their only host, grow and particularly on trees planted in landscapes and along streets.
Tulip tree aphids live and feed on the undersides of leaves. Heavy infestations cause leaves to drop, and repeated infestations can reduce tree growth and canopy density. Tulip tree aphids produce copious honeydew, so leaves and surrounding surfaces are often blackened with sooty mold.

Tulip tree aphids overwinter as eggs that hatch in spring. There are several generations during summer and populations can increase rapidly in late spring. Natural enemies typically catch up with them and reduce the populations by early summer. Thus management is often not required. Natural enemies include lady beetles, lacewings, syrphid flies, Orius spp. and many parasitoids. Persistent populations can be managed with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap to reduce their abundance and honeydew production | eng | e271f386-14f1-4d53-872d-703fa15c8d0b | https://entomology.ces.ncsu.edu/2020/05/tulip-tree-aphids-and-scales-feeding-and-dropping-honeydew/ |

Importance of Time Management Skills
Time management skills are essential for anyone who wants to succeed in life. These skills help individuals to prioritize their activities, avoid procrastination, and complete tasks within the set deadlines. Good time management skills enable individuals to achieve their goals, both personal and professional, and increase productivity.
Effective time management skills also help individuals to reduce stress levels and improve their overall well-being. When you manage your time well, you are less likely to feel overwhelmed or stressed, and you can take time to relax and enjoy life. Additionally, good time management skills help individuals to build better relationships with others since they can allocate time to spend with friends and family.
Tips for Improving Time Management
There are several ways to improve your time management skills, including:
1. Set Goals and Prioritize Tasks
The first step to effective time management is to set clear goals and prioritize tasks. This involves identifying the most important tasks and allocating time to complete them. You can use a to-do list or planner to help you keep track of your tasks and set deadlines.
2. Avoid Procrastination
Procrastination is one of the biggest obstacles to effective time management. To avoid procrastination, you can break down larger tasks into smaller, more manageable ones. This makes them less intimidating and easier to complete. Additionally, you can use the Pomodoro technique, which involves working for 25 minutes and taking a 5-minute break. This technique helps to improve focus and productivity.

Distractions, such as social media, emails, or phone calls, can be a major time waster. To eliminate distractions, you can turn off your phone or put it on silent mode when working on important tasks. You can also use apps or browser extensions that block distracting websites or limit your time on social media.
4. Delegate Tasks
Delegating tasks is an effective way to manage your time, especially when you have a lot of work to do. Delegating involves assigning tasks to other people who have the skills and experience to complete them. This frees up your time to focus on other important tasks.
5. Take Breaks
Taking breaks is crucial for effective time management. Breaks help to refresh your mind and increase productivity. You can take short breaks throughout the day to stretch, walk, or grab a snack. Additionally, you can take longer breaks, such as weekends or vacations, to recharge and avoid burnout.
Benefits of Developing Time Management Skills
Developing time management skills has several benefits, including:
1. Increased Productivity
Good time management skills help individuals to complete tasks efficiently and effectively, increasing productivity. When you manage your time well, you can accomplish more in less time, leaving you with more time to focus on other important tasks.
2. Reduced Stress
Effective time management skills help to reduce stress levels since you can prioritize tasks and avoid procrastination. When you manage your time well, you are less likely to feel overwhelmed or stressed, and you can take time to relax and enjoy life.
3. Improved Health and Well-being
Good time management skills help individuals to balance work and personal life, leading to improved health and well-being. When you manage your time well, you can allocate time for exercise, relaxation, and spending time with friends and family, leading to a healthier and happier life.
4. Better Opportunities

Hacks to manage time better
Here are some additional tips and hacks to improve your time management skills:
Use the Eisenhower Matrix: This matrix helps you prioritize tasks based on their urgency and importance. It involves categorizing tasks into four quadrants: urgent and important, not urgent but important, urgent but not important, and neither urgent nor important.
Set deadlines: Deadlines help to keep you accountable and focused on completing tasks. Set realistic deadlines for your tasks and stick to them.
Use time-tracking apps: Time-tracking apps can help you monitor how much time you spend on different activities and identify areas where you need to improve.
Create routines: Routines help to establish good habits and make it easier to manage your time. Create a daily routine that includes time for work, exercise, relaxation, and other activities.
Practice saying no: Learning to say no to activities or tasks that are not important or do not align with your goals can help you prioritize your time and focus on what is important.
Use the 80/20 rule: The 80/20 rule, also known as the Pareto principle, states that 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts. Identify the 20% of tasks that are most important and focus on completing them first.
Batch similar tasks: Grouping similar tasks together can help you complete them more efficiently. For example, you can schedule time for responding to emails or making phone calls, rather than doing them throughout the day.
Take advantage of technology: There are many apps and tools available that can help you manage your time more effectively. For example, you can use task management apps like Trello or Asana to organize your tasks, or use time-tracking apps like RescueTime to monitor how you spend your time.
By incorporating these tips and hacks into your daily routine, you can improve your time management skills and achieve your goals more efficiently.
Tools to manage time better
Here are some tools that can help you manage your time better:
Trello: Trello is a task management tool that allows you to organize tasks into boards, lists, and cards. You can assign due dates, labels, and comments to each task, and track your progress as you complete them.
Asana: Asana is another popular task management tool that allows you to create tasks, assign them to team members, and track your progress. It also has features for project management, collaboration, and communication.
RescueTime: RescueTime is a time-tracking tool that helps you monitor how you spend your time on your computer and mobile devices. It provides detailed reports on how much time you spend on different apps and websites, and allows you to set goals and alerts to stay on track.
Forest: Forest is a productivity app that helps you stay focused and avoid distractions. When you start a task, you plant a virtual tree, which grows as you work. If you leave the app to check social media or other distracting websites, the tree dies. The goal is to grow a forest of productive trees and avoid distractions.
Pomodoro Timer: A Pomodoro Timer is a simple tool that helps you stay focused and productive. It involves working for 25 minutes and taking a 5-minute break, and repeating this cycle several times throughout the day. There are many Pomodoro Timer apps and tools available, including the Pomodoro Technique app mentioned earlier.
By using these tools, you can stay organized, focused, and productive, and manage your time more effectively.

What is Desoxyn?
A trade name for methamphetamine hydrochloride, Desoxyn is a medication used to treat ADHD, obesity, and other conditions. As a prescription, it's safe. As a drug of abuse, Desoxyn is anything but.
Desoxyn can create feelings of intense energy and euphoria when abused. This causes the body to release massive amounts of the neurotransmitter dopamine, used in our reward system. The rush of dopamine reinforces drug-taking behaviors. Also, it's easy to build up a tolerance to Desoxyn, meaning larger amounts of the drug have to be taken for the same effects.
It's possible to overdose on Desoxyn, and side effects include heart attack and stroke. Detoxing from Desoxyn addiction is best done in a clinical detox setting for best results. | eng | bb1e23c3-01c3-49ad-bada-6ad4a60e4cd7 | https://soberlivingnearyou.com/what-is-desoxyn/ |

Hoover Institution: An Analysis of Vice President Biden's Economic Agenda: The Long Run Impacts of Its Regulation, Taxes, and Spending ByKevin Hassett, Casey B. Mulligan, Timothy Fitzgerald, Cody Kallen Tuesday, October 13, 2020
This report explores the potential impact of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's proposals on the economy as a whole. We conclude that in the long run, Biden's agenda would reduce full time equivalent employment per person by about 3 percent, the capital stock per person by about 15 percent, real GDP per capita by more than 8 percent, and real consumption per household by about 7 percent. Relative to the CBO's 2030 projections for these variables, this suggests there will be 4.9 million fewer employed individuals, $2.6 trillion less in GDP, and $1.5 trillion less consumption in that year alone. Median household income in 2030 would be $6,500 less.
While these effects may seem large, they are actually conservative estimates of the negative impact of the full Biden agenda.
Cheat sheet for when Biden claims the Trump tax cuts were all about "the rich": NYT: "Most people got a tax cut." WaPo: "Most Americans received a tax cut." CNN: "The facts are, most Americans got a tax cut." H&R Block: "The vast majority of people did get a tax cut."
Your vote was not a valentine, you weren't confessing your love for the candidate.

6 Bulletproof Plot Devices That Will Transform Your Screenplay
Everyone loves a good voiceover, but if it's not serving the plot, it's a problem...
Have you ever been stuck in your screenplay and been unsure of how to convey a certain bit of information to the audience? There are lots of tricks, or plot devices, that screenwriters use to transmit important facts to the viewer.
We've all watched a movie or TV show and been annoyed when particular plot devices fail to convey the narrative. The truth is, the best plot devices are invisible. They seamlessly integrate into the story so much so that we forget they're even there.
Today we're going to go over some important plot devices like voiceover, montages, dream sequences, flashbacks, flashforwards, and cut-aways.
We'll learn how to hide them in our storytelling, and what it takes for you to create the best plot devices for your movie or tv show.
Come with me if you want to write…
Plot Device 1 : Voiceover
Everyone is familiar with a voiceover. Perhaps it's from a favorite noir movie, or definitely from The Shawshank Redemption, voiceover is a popular way to let the audience in on what's happening within a character's mind.
Some people love voiceover, some people hate it. Voiceovers are so divisive you can watch Blade Runner five different ways, depending on how you feel about it.
The best voiceover adds another layer to what we see on the screen. Think about the voiceover in Goodfellas. It's not just Henry Hill's story, but his inner desires. What we see on screen supports the voiceover, but it would still make sense without it.
The worst voiceovers are completely unnecessary and don't add anything to the story. They can be frustrating, describing what we already know, or taking us completely out of the movie.
I'm looking at you, weird bookends of The War Of The Worlds!
TV has a few great voiceovers.
How would we ever know How I Met Your Mother without hearing Ted's story from the future?
So if you want to utilize voiceover as your plot device, think about how it can add to the story. If your movie can still work without it, then maybe you don't need it.
But sometimes you have a ton of information to dump on the screen and don't think only the visuals will help. So voiceovers become important in those instances.
Especially if you're writing a montage.
Plot Device 2: Montages
Montages can be tricky to write in films. They need to support and move the story forward. Sometimes it's about advancing years, like the montage in The Lion King.
Other times, it's about crosscutting between simultaneous events, like the infamous baptism scene in The Godfather.
Or the homage to The Godfather done in Breaking Bad where they execute all the guys in prisons across the country to cover their tracks.
Montages are nifty tools when you want to sneak a bunch of emotional moments together. Like in any rom-com, where you need to see a relationship to develop, or in an action movie when you're trying to show the team preparing for a big event coming their way.
Montages can be cut fast, like the training montage in Creed.
What about this great montage from Bob's Burgers?
Montages generally get a bad rap, but the movies that do them well really create an environment that sets the tone.
Like this montage of dead bodies from Goodfellas. The mafia is a dog eat dog world. This is serious…and it helps set up the second half of the movie.
Montages are great if you're trying to convey a passage of time or a bunch of information, but what if you just want to get one point across…without having the actions of a character matter in the real world?
Enter the dream sequence.
Plot Device 3: Dream Sequences
Remember the divisive voiceover from Blade Runner? I'll see that and raise a dream sequence.
Dream sequences are an excellent plot device if you want to show a character's inner thoughts and desires, but you don't want to use a voiceover, and you think it's really cheesy for them to just say it out loud.
Dream sequences can support an entire plot. Like Nightmare on Elm Street. Which subverts the dream sequence tropes, and makes them affect reality.
But more traditional dream sequences are a portal into another character's psyche. We love good dialogue, but sometimes it's easier to use dream sequence instead of just having a character discuss what they feel.
Or maybe you need to set up what's coming?
Look at these dream sequences from Marvel that set up Infinity War and Ragnarok.
Check out this dream sequence from The Burbs. In the movie, we know Tom Hanks is worried about his neighbors, but he's supposed to be on vacation, relaxing.
Instead of having him say he's stressed out, we travel into his subconscious to let the audience know he's actually starting to believe his neighbors might be up to something.
Another dream sequence I love is from Waking Ned Devine. Waking Ned Devine is one of my favorite movies of all time. There's a moral choice at the center of the movie. Is it okay to cheat the lottery and claim the ticket of a dead man?
Since the movie deals with life and death, it seems fitting to add a dream sequence here, so that the lead character can discover Ned's wishes….since Ned is dead.\
This plot device helps pivot the plot toward the midpoint and thrusts us toward a hilarious and exciting ending.
Dream sequences are a little harder to pull off in TV since you need to always be moving the plot forward, but one famous one occurred in the 1980s when the show Dallas used the "who shot J.R." storyline with a payoff that it was all a dream…
Lame.
But what if you think a dream sequence will throw off the tone of the movie or tv episode you're working on?
Then maybe a flashback is right for you.
Plot Device 4: Flashbacks
Ah yes, the flashback. When I was a script reader, I hated flashbacks. The worst of these feel incredibly forced and always cheat the audience. The best flashbacks have some bearing on the story in the present and don't feel like a gimmick.
We all know the greatest flashbacks of all time were on the television show, Lost.
Lost built the entire series on flashbacks. It was an incredible way to contextualize the present on the show and change our perception of each character.
Remember, the best plot devices add another layer, and those flashbacks deepened the show's meaning and ability to connect with the audience.
Subtle flashbacks are present in a lot of mystery movies. They're used for the reveals in the Sixth Sense, Shawshank Redemption, and Usual Suspects.
If you're using flashbacks as a plot device, make sure they are necessary, and that the information you're going to flashback to has clear setups in the pages of the script beforehand, so this information doesn't feel shoe-horned into the story.
What if you don't want to add information from the past, but want to focus on the future?
Let's flash-forward.
Plot Device 5: Flash-forwards
Look, we all know where this is going. The greatest TV plot twist of all time was the flash-forward in Lost. Lost did everything perfectly.
It was a masterful way to subvert audience expectations and a unique way to tell a story.
But who else used the flash-forward plot device well?
The Sandra Bullock movie, Premonition, makes flash-forwards part of the plot as well. If she knows what's coming at her, then she'll be able to change the present to affect the outcome.
The same goes for the Final Destination franchise.
Again, this builds the narrative around knowing the future. But what if you just want to use it to alter the present, without making it a device?
The 1990's TV show, Early Edition, had the premise of "what if you got tomorrow's newspaper today?"
They used this to subtly put in flashforwards, so that the characters in the present could act.
It was a clever way to use flash-forwards without them being too overt as a plot device.
So we've flashed forward and back…but what if you want to go sideways?
How about using a cutaway as a plot device?
Plot Device 6: Cutaways
Cutaways are great plot devices for comedy. They enable you to make a referential joke, and then clear up that reference for the audience and get a second, visual, laugh.
The show Family Guy is built on cutaway jokes. Not only are they able to make pop culture references to get you engaged, but when they cut to the joke they double-down on the humor and set up the wacky tone of what's happening on screen.
But what about a more subtle cutaway?
I absolutely love the cutaway to Marcus Brody from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.
This is a brilliant way to trick the audience into believing a character is in control of a situation, and then pulling the rug out from under them.
Cutaways are a great device to show the audience you're in control of the story. When used correctly, they assuage everyone that they're along for the ride, and the storytellers have an excellent journey ahead.
But bad cutaways confuse an audience and interrupt the flow of each scene.
Summing Up Plot Devices
So what did we learn about plot devices?
I think the most important takeaway from this plot devices article is that these are tools to help your story, but you should use them sparingly.
Some inventive TV shows and movies use them to build the narrative, but most know that using these as a tool to tell the story is great, as long as they don't become a crutch | eng | 5cf7dedd-cb73-4d1d-9426-09014fc495c4 | https://nofilmschool.com/plot-device-examples |

This means that genetics don't necessarily determine your destiny. By adopting healthy habits you can greatly reduce your genetic risk and even eliminate it. So what should you do to reduce your risk of Alzheimer's?
Here are the seven tips
1. Make sure to be active and try to move as much as possible during the day. Physical activity improves cognitive function and lowers the risk of dementia.
2. Don't smoke. Smoking is a risk factor for many diseases, including Alzheimer's.
5. Make sure you sleep well. During sleep, the brain gets rid of unwanted substances. Think of it as dumping the garbage from the brain during sleep, so it's crucial to sleep well. Strive to sleep for at least eight hours every night. Make sure that your bed is comfortable, and that the room is dark and quiet.
6. Adopt ways to reduce stress, such as: deep breathing, meditation, walking or other activities outside, and yoga. In stressful situations, memory is impaired and brain function deteriorates, so it's important to properly manage stress | eng | 288ef4dd-b996-440e-86a2-d3a901c74a4c | https://www.jpost.com/health-and-wellness/article-731658 |
What is reconciliation?
Written by Anissa Zoelle. Updated over a week ago
Reconciliation, in regard to accounting, refers to the task of matching a customer's payments with the corresponding invoices. Payments in any form are received by an accounts receivable team to correctly apply them to an open balance. The purpose is to equate the money leaving an account with the money that was spent. | eng | e4e33ebc-e549-4a27-aeaf-85caee7bae60 | https://help.streamlinedpayments.com/en/articles/6246661-what-is-reconciliation |

Read This Before Breaking a Bad Habit
It's a mistake to look for 'the techniques' to make you break a bad habit—drinking, overeating, or whatever it is.
There's an error in asking the question, 'What steps can I take to break my habit?' The question implies that a series of steps are more fundamental—or can somehow replace—a commitment to make a change.
The commitment to making a change is everything. It's the commitment that enables you to say, 'I will engage in this or that technique, because I'm committed to changing.'
For example, someone trying to quit drinking might find it helpful to avoid hanging out with people who drink a lot. Or someone trying to quit smoking might find it helpful to utilize a nicotine patch to phase out smoking.
It's not a question of whether such techniques work, although they certainly might for many. It is really a question of whether you're committed to quitting, or not.
Commitment to change is similar to honoring a principle. Principle is sometimes what's referred to as what you do when nobody else is looking. Commitment to breaking a bad habit is like that. It's the thing that leads you to say to yourself, 'Even though I really feel like doing this, I won't because of the commitment I have to making this change.'
A 'bad' habit refers to something that is, in fact, objectively bad; and something you have chosen—for your own sake most of all—to change. This is why many attempts to break a bad habit fail. Often unknowingly, people are motivated to make these changes because of empty 'shoulds" (i.e., shoulds without reasons), or the opinions of others. For example, 'Yes I know smoking is bad. I should stop.' Yes, but'have you really thought out why you're making a commitment to this life-changing event, why you're doing it now, and why you're doing it for your own sake, most of all? It's so important to 'root out' any improper or insufficient motivations, such as, 'I'm really doing this because someone is pressuring me.' Before making a commitment, it's important to understand precisely why you're doing this, so you can keep it in mind as you go through the endeavor of making the change.
We hear a lot about addiction. We're supposed to regard it as no different from a medical disease, something with a progression of symptoms outside of your control, which only some externalized treatment can alter.
The truth is a lot closer to what Jack Trimpey, who founded Rational Recovery, has to say on the subject. Consider his quote, and apply it not only to alcohol, but to any bad habit over which you might otherwise feel powerless:
Addiction is a voluntary behavior (such as drinking alcohol or using drugs) that persists against your own better judgment. Thus, addiction cannot be 'diagnosed' or attributed to you by others, including physicians. It is solely up to you to decide if your drinking threatens or harms others and yourself. You must decide now whether continuing your addictive pleasures is worth the destruction that will likely result. In other words, you are free to choose between drinking and not drinking — between the high life and family life, between right and wrong.
If you believe there is nothing wrong with your own drinking/using, then you are free to continue, provided you are willing to accept the likely consequences. If you suspect you have a problem with alcohol and other drugs, however, you probably do have a problem, and you would be very wise to learn how to summarily quit your addiction altogether.
Rational Recovery has some interesting techniques which essentially boil down to cognitive psychotherapy, i.e., recognizing and talking back to / acting against your inner, mistaken or irrational 'self-talk.' Again, none of these techniques are of any use to you without a full, one-hundred percent commitment to making a course correction in some aspect of your life (drinking or any other area).
Trimpey is correct. Addiction, or any other erroneous or excessive behavior, is a voluntary activity. The proof of this fact is that nobody can say or do anything 'to' you to make you stop. You can be convinced to stop or change, but you're still the only one with yourself 24/7. If you've stopped doing something, it's because you have stopped it. This is not merely opinion; it's a directly observable fact. It doesn't mean you must or even can do it alone, or without external guidance or direction. But with or without that direction, it's still only you who can stop, start or otherwise change any given behavior.
It's not mean or cruel to look at it this way. It's liberating. For one thing, it's the truth and easily proven, as I just did. The truth always sets you free, because working within the framework of objective reality is the only way to get anything done. Wishes and self-deception will never assist in change or growth. For another thing, once you accept that your mistaken behavior is voluntary, the implication is there: You do have the power to change. You are not powerless over anything, not anything that involves voluntary choice on your part. As with alcohol over-consumption, so too with anything else you seek to change.
It all starts and progresses with commitment | eng | d59977fb-b329-467c-8990-c965e2d53888 | https://drhurd.com/2013/05/19/read-this-before-breaking-a-bad-habit/ |

Will Moving Out of State Effect My Whole Life Insurance Policy? But before we delve deeper, let's first discuss what whole life insurance is and how it works.
Table of contents
What is a Whole Life Insurance?
Whole life insurance is permanent life insurance. It will stay in force as long as you pay the premiums regularly. When you first apply for coverage, you'll agree to sign a contract. This states your chosen life insurance company will promise to pay your beneficiaries once you die. This is called a death benefit.
Your premium will then be determined depending on your age, gender, and, most crucially, your health after you have chosen the quantity of coverage you want.
For example, let's say that you bought a life insurance policy at the age of 40. When you purchase a policy, it will be locked in for the rest of your life if you keep paying for it. The premium you'll be paying is usually much higher than the one you'll pay for term life insurance. This is due to your entire life being included in the equation.
Also, unlike term life insurance policies, whole life insurance doesn't expire. The policy will stay in effect until you die or if you choose to cancel it. Over time, the premiums you have paid will generate cash value, which can be used under certain conditions. This cash value can be taken out as a loan or be used to cover the premiums.
Take note, however, that you have to pay the loan you took from your policy because it would be deducted from the death benefit if you fail to do so. However, since every state has varying laws and regulations about life insurance, what happens when you move?
Why Your Insurance Policy Will Probably Won't Be Affected
Whole life insurance policies are primarily portable. This means they can usually be transferred to another state without any issues. However, when it comes to taxes and regulation, there might be some changes involved. This is because the state mainly governs life insurance policies, and every state has policies.
Giving your new address is crucial since you wish for them to contact you and your beneficiary immediately. Your prices or the extent of your coverage may not necessarily alter if you move, though.
You might need to consider switching providers if you get whole life insurance via your employer but decide to change jobs. Your internal human resource officer can handle this. In other circumstances, you may keep your present whole life insurance plan with your previous employer.
Each state would have rules regarding policies like refunds, protection for the policyholders, late repayment grace periods, and the beneficiary if the insurance company declared bankruptcy. Even state laws can impact the beneficiaries of life insurance death benefits.
One good example of the significant changes in your life insurance when moving is the number of premiums you'll pay depending on where you live. You can contact your insurance company if you're concerned about your premiums.
What About the Life Insurance Payout?
The move won't affect the life insurance payout you'll usually receive. This is usually stated in the terms and conditions when you sign up for life insurance. Of course, this is only if you still maintain the life insurance requirements for your beneficiaries.
If you continue paying the premiums on time, the payout shouldn't be changed because of the move. But take note that this is only for most insurance companies. There are cases where it might be changed, but they're not that common.
Do the Places of Residence You'll Have in the Future Affect Your Policy?
The rate of your coverage will remain unaffected by the move. However, as mentioned earlier, the law and regulations surrounding life insurance in that state might change some aspects of your policy. Again, this is because local legislative bodies usually regulate insurance companies.
Also, the free look period for delayed payments and insolvency restrictions varies from state to state. Not only that but there are also state laws that can limit you when choosing your beneficiaries.
But Why Does It Matter?
It's a common question among policyholders whether they're looking to buy a whole life insurance policy or choosing medicare supplement plans options like HMO, PPO, or Medigap plan.
Generally speaking, medicare supplement plans offer standardized coverage across all states, so you should be able to find the same type of coverage no matter where you live. However, there may be differences in premium rates, deductibles, and copayment requirements that could affect your medicare supplement policy.
Make sure to compare medicare supplement plans from different providers to ensure you're getting the best coverage for your needs when moving to a new state. Moreover, prior to making any changes to your policy, you should contact your insurance provider and get their opinion on how moving will affect your policy.
In some cases, relocating can also cause issues with the beneficiaries listed in your policy. If you move to a different state, you must review the beneficiary designations for your policy to ensure they are still applicable in your new location. If they are not, you should update them so that your policy remains valid in the event of your death.
Final Words
This question is usually common among policyholders but is it a huge concern? Mostly, it isn't unless stipulations are present in your life insurance. If there aren't, then there's nothing to worry about.
You can always ask your life insurance company if you still have questions. Also, it's best to keep in touch with them from time to time to inform them about your new address and other crucial information related to you and your beneficiaries | eng | f5c3218e-7353-4b39-9c80-4ca4c4cfc3ae | https://unimovers.com/blog/how-moving-affects-life-insurance-policies/ |
Ankylosing Spondylitis
What Is Ankylosing Spondylitis?
Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of inflammatory arthritis that affects the spine and sacroiliac joints, which link your pelvis with the
lower spine. 'Ankylosing' translates to joints becoming stiff or fusing, while 'spondylitis' refers to the spine.
What Are The Symptoms Of Ankylosing Spondylitis?
The symptoms of ankylosing spondylitis typically appear between the ages of 20-45 years. For women, many of the first signs of ankylosing
spondylitis develop during pregnancy. Symptoms can include:
Ongoing back pain, which may be worse in the morning and the middle of the night
Back stiffness, that may improve with exercise
Inflammation
As the condition progresses and worsens, the spine may also curve
Interestingly,
ankylosing spondylitis can also cause inflammation, pain and stiffness in other areas of the body too, ranging from the shoulders to the
hips to the feet. Specifically in the feet, we may notice:
Plantar heel pain or Achilles tendonitis symptoms in up to one-third of those with ankylosing spondylitis
Enthesitis: inflammation of the site where tendon attaches to bone
Synovitis at the metatarsophalangeal joints
Deviation of the lesser digits of the foot (like in rheumatoid arthritis, but less severe)
Small foot joint stiffness or fusion
Reduced stride length
Decreased knee and hip flexion
What Causes Ankylosing Spondylitis?
The exact cause of ankylosing spondylitis is not well understood, but the involvement of genetic (hereditary) factors has been linked in
studies. Specifically, it has been linked to having a gene called HLA-B27, even though the gene is also present in those without this
condition too. Ankylosing spondylitis has also been linked to Crohn's disease and bowel inflammation.
Ankylosing Spondylitis Diagnosis
Diagnosing ankylosing spondylitis involves a comprehensive assessment, a review of family history, and medical imaging to assess the
integrity of the spine. This is done by your GP or rheumatologist. If ankylosing spondylitis is confirmed, it's important to further
study other pains or problems you may be experiencing, including that of the feet. This is where our podiatrists will evaluate your lower
limb pain and symptoms in light of your diagnosis.
Ankylosing Spondylitis Treatment Options
Treatment focuses on improving your comfort, reducing your pain levels, and optimising your quality of life so you can continue to perform
daily activities as comfortably as possible.
The first step is to get a formal diagnosis - being diagnosed early and starting care can help slow the progression of the disease, control
your inflammation, and reduce the damage to your spine. Treatment options for ankylosing spondylitis include:
Exercise: controlled, regular exercise is essential to maintain movement of the spine
and strengthen back and neck muscles. A good option if you're first starting exercise is swimming as the water supports your
weight. Stretching exercises can also help reduce stiffness and increase flexibility
Postural support:as there is a tendency for spinal curvature with ankylosing
spondylitis, it's important to focus on your posture, keeping your bodyweight balance between both feet and your neck straight
and long. If working at a desk job, ensure you take stretching and movement breaks at least hourly.
Podiatry Treatment For Ankylosing Spondylitis
Our podiatry team is experienced in working with those with ankylosing spondylitis to manage the effects of the condition on the feet and
lower limbs. This includes providing appropriate and timely management for conditions including plantar fasciitis, insertional Achilles
tendonitis, toe clawing, and more. To do this, we may use:
Foot mobilisation to mobilise the joints and bones of the foot and ankle, address any stiff and dysfunctional joints and
help to restore support movement and flexibility
Footwear recommendations and modifications: your
footwear can play an important role in helping keep you comfortable on your feet, and we'll help you find the best shoes for your foot
type and symptoms. We also offer custom footwear modifications such as a rocker bottom sole to overcome gait-related challenges and support
an efficient gait style.
Living With Ankylosing Spondylitis
While there is no cure for ankylosing spondylitis, there is a lot that can be done with conservative (non-surgical) management to support
your comfort, movement and quality of life. The earlier you are diagnosed, the better.
FAQs
What does Ankylosing spondylitis pain feel like?
In the feet or legs, ankylosing spondylitis feels like regular pain or inflammation, similar to if you had injured your lower limbs during
sports or from other causes. It may be difficult for you to bear weight on the affected foot and perform certain movements. It is likely
that you will also have back pain, inflammation or discomfort.
How serious is Ankylosing spondylitis?
As ankylosing spondylitis is very serious as it has the potential to fix your joints in an unnatural position, in some cases it can become
very disabling and mean that you require regular in-home care. Many people are able to remain independent for a long time, however, though
the condition does tend to progressively worsen. | eng | e9d3313d-f0af-49cf-958f-f594814011e2 | https://www.thefeetpeople.com.au/symptoms-we-treat/ankylosing-spondylitis/ |
Why Does Baby Poop Stain

Why Does Baby Poop Stain?
Babies are a bundle of joy, but let's face it, their bodily functions can sometimes be a bit messy. One common issue that many parents face is the staining of baby poop. So, why does baby poop stain? Let's delve into this topic and find out.
One of the main reasons for the staining of baby poop is the high concentration of bilirubin. Bilirubin is a yellow pigment that is produced when red blood cells break down. In newborns, the liver is still developing, and as a result, it may not be able to process bilirubin efficiently. This can lead to a condition known as jaundice, which causes the skin and eyes to appear yellow. The presence of excess bilirubin in the baby's system can result in bright yellow or greenish colored stools that have a higher chance of staining.
Another reason for staining is the consistency of the poop itself. Baby poop is typically soft, mushy, and can easily spread. Additionally, breastfed babies tend to have poop that is more watery and can easily seep into fabric. Conversely, formula-fed babies may have thicker and stickier poop, which can also lead to staining.
The color of the food consumed by the baby can also affect the staining of poop. For example, if a baby eats beets or blueberries, the pigments from these foods can pass through their digestive system and result in brightly colored stools that may stain. Similarly, certain medications or supplements given to the baby can also cause changes in the color of their poop.
1. How can I prevent baby poop from staining clothes?
– Using a diaper cream or petroleum jelly can create a barrier between the poop and fabric, making it easier to wash off.
2. Can certain fabrics resist staining better than others?
– Fabrics that have been treated with stain-resistant finishes or those made from synthetic fibers tend to be more resistant to staining.
3. Is there a way to remove stains from baby poop?
– Pre-treating the stained area with a stain remover or enzyme-based cleaner before washing can help remove the stain.
4. Can cloth diapers cause more staining compared to disposable diapers?
– Cloth diapers can sometimes result in more staining as they do not have the same absorbency as disposables.
5. Does the age of the baby affect poop staining?
– Yes, as a baby grows, their poop consistency changes, and it may become less likely to stain.
6. Can introducing solid foods affect poop staining?
– Yes, introducing solid foods can change the color and consistency of the baby's poop, which may lead to more staining.
7. Is it normal for baby poop to stain after starting antibiotics?
– Antibiotics can disrupt the balance of bacteria in the gut, causing changes in poop color and potentially leading to staining.
8. Can using diaper liners help prevent staining?
– Yes, diaper liners can act as a protective layer between the baby's poop and the diaper, reducing the likelihood of staining.
9. Will stain removers damage the fabric of baby clothes?
– It is important to read the instructions and choose a stain remover that is safe for the fabric. Testing on a small, inconspicuous area is recommended.
10. Can sunlight help remove poop stains?
– Yes, natural sunlight can have a bleaching effect on stains. Hanging stained clothes outside in direct sunlight can help fade the stain.
11. Are there any natural remedies to remove poop stains?
– Lemon juice or vinegar diluted in water can be used as natural stain removers. However, it's important to test these solutions on a small area first.
12. Are there any health concerns associated with stained baby poop?
– In most cases, stained baby poop is harmless and a normal part of their development. However, if you notice any unusual changes in the color or consistency of their poop, it's best to consult a healthcare professional.
In conclusion, baby poop staining is a common occurrence due to various factors such as bilirubin concentration, consistency, and the color of food consumed. While staining can be a hassle, there are ways to prevent and remove stains effectively, ensuring that your baby's clothes stay clean and fresh. | eng | 167965bc-dd91-4cc8-9521-b268f24c6ac6 | https://everynewborn.org/why-does-baby-poop-stain/ |

For conservancy's WHIRL graduates, learning about watershed is a natural
REDWOOD — The Indian River Lakes' WHIRL program is a natural for students like Meadow G. Webb, holder of a name that conjures up our natural environment.
But WHIRL — Water and Habitat on the Indian River Lakes — is a teen environmental education program designed for students of all interests managed by the Indian River Lakes Conservancy. The program aims to bring together environmentalists of different ages and experiences to learn from one another and to grow a community of people principled around protecting water quality, especially within the Indian River Lakes watershed. | eng | 99622a48-f6ec-4d61-8463-18558d23956d | https://www.cnyiwla.org/2022/08/for-conservancys-whirl-graduates.html |
Sustainability Technology & The Evolution of Smart Cities
Smart Kitchen Garden
Global population is increasing, with more people moving to cities and more consumerism overall. This has grown demand for food, which in turn has led to the use of pesticides and other technologies to maximize yields. The impacts of this are tremendous on human health, leading to cancers and other diseases. Furthermore, food demands across the world are increasingly supplied from all corners of the world. The global transport and trade of food is extremely inefficient and requires significant energy and water consumption.
Technology:
Niwa is a high-tech indoor garden gadget that allows people to grow food form their own home. This addresses both the issue of pesticides and the issue of transporting crops across the world, which requires energy and water.
The device has a hydroponic base that use mineral solutions instead of soil. It allows you to plant and grow a small vegetable crop with the help of an integrated fan, lights and sprinklers.
The only manual requirement is for the person to choose which seed to "plant" and then drop them into the base. The rest of the "growing" process fully automated as sensors allow regulation of the humidity and temperature to foster perfect growing conditions.
Technology launched through a Kickstarter campaign but is not ready yet to be shipped. However, it can already be pre-ordered. More funds should be collected by pitching to investors to ensure that it can be commercial soon.
In the meantime, those funds should also be allocated to enhancing the marketing of the product through social media and advertisements in cities (e.g. subways). Should pay health-conscious celebrities who can endorse the products.
Begin shipping the product to those who have preordered, open the online store and find retailers to sell to.
4 thoughts on "Smart Kitchen Garden"
This is an interesting concept. I was completely unaware that crows could be trained in this way. The main concern is the ethical implications of making other species pick up litter including potential damaging substances, such a cigarettes. The deployment of this may be challenged by animal rights groups.
Niwa comes with an connected smartphone app, which is the place where the owner enters the type of plants he is growing in his high-tech indoor garden. Along the way, the app will routinely ask you to check on the plants and answer some questions, so it can monitor the progress on the garden and adjust conditions to maximize growth.
Niwa is one example of the current trend of "in-home" farming which aims to bring accessible, low maintenance farming/growing technology to households. Nonetheless, as someone who had similar technology, I fear that the quality of the end-products is a bit over estimated.
Nonetheless, Niwa could be great educational tool for schools and other institutes, as they state on their website. | eng | 5c4ee35d-1ce5-44a5-84c7-95802e2fb3db | https://makeasmartcity.com/2017/10/24/smart-kitchen-garden/ |

My first idea was to keep it simple just letters in a box with only 2 fonts and just a few colors, spring related colors. I found myself again in the need to tell a story and I did. The boxes changed to chess fields, but I stopped myself to create an overkill battle with the letters.
This is a great article as well! There are many fonts and typefaces out there are free. Many of them come pre-installed on our computers. These typefaces server a great purpose and are familiar but you will need to go beyond the default at some point, and this is exciting. Before making any purchases of fonts or typefaces I would dig into some free resources. I will be posting a series of links for this in out up and coming classes.
Great work on this Petra! Great links too! These will be great resources for our classmates. Typography is vast, and there are many designers that focus exclusively on just that. The key is, becoming aware, with regular practice. Keep asking critical questions about what is produced and make revisions. | eng | e81c63e0-f15e-4b18-928a-b349eb9a1824 | https://bmccmma100.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2018/03/14/week-7/ |

Coming to the ELC
A memorable event may generate different emotions. For example, when a baby is born their parents will probably feel happiness and love; perhaps their father will be scared, but in general, they will have positive feelings. There are sad memorable days such as a death of a dear uncle or bad news about political problems in countries. There are distinct types of memorable days, but what they hold in common are the feelings. In my case, a specific, important day was my first day at the ELC (English Language Center). My first day at the ELC was a mix of enthusiasm, fear and confusion.
My first day at the ELC was full of excitement. I woke up at 6 AM, took a quick shower and ate a delicious breakfast. After that, I excitedly walked for 40 minutes to the ELC. I was new in Provo; therefore, I knew nothing about busses or other kinds of transportation. When I got to the ELC, it was encouraging because I could learn English in a good school with interesting resources. I felt confident that I would improve my English since it was my main goal. Another reason I was excited was because I would get the opportunity to make new friends from different countries. It would be a great moment to learn about other cultures and customs. In brief, my first day increased my new experiences, but all things can be summed up in one word: exciting!
Another type of feeling I felt was fear. I was very scared because people, teachers and Mrs. Sandy were talking with me and I could not understand anything. The other reasons included the LATs test and information about my level. The cause for this discomfort was simple: I never had taken an important test like the LATs before. It was a new challenge and became more appalling when I knew that the test's results would influence my level. It was important for me, since I wanted to work on BYU campus and to achieve that goal, I had to get at least a Foundation C level. Therefore, these were the reasons for my fear.
The last feeling was confusion. I never felt so lost. I was not in my country, there was a different language, new people and food, and a foreign culture. Almost always the streets, buildings and places looked alike. Indeed, I felt like a fish out of water. I could not understand the people or approaches taught at the ELC since I had just studied English by videos, bad textbooks, and even worse courses in my country, such as online courses with many mistakes. As a result, I had a hard time understanding.
In conclusion, my first day at the ELC was memorable because I could feel a mix of feelings at the same time. Sometimes our lives are marked by a mix of events, some are happy and enthusiastic others are scary and confusing. However, we need to have a positive attitude and recall that there are good times and they come with patience and hard work. These kinds of experiences can then help us to overcome challenges in the future.

What is a reporter flash?
A reporter flash, also called a speedlight, was especially developed for providing a subject with focused lighting. The first flashes around 1900 consisted of a simle but dangerous ignition technique, but since the 1980s the external flash has developed towards the current technology. The external flash is easy to attach to the top of your camera, so it can also communicate with the camera. This communication is important for realizing the ideal lighting, whether it is a recording during the falling darkness or portrait photography in a studio. The great advantage to a separate flash is that the right lighting can be achieved under the most varied conditions.
Working of a flash
Although the technology behind the flash is reasonably complex, we will try to give an impression of the way in which a flash works. The main function of a flash is to bring the lighting via a flash at the right moment. For this purpose, there must be communication between the camera and the flash. Because the flash only lasts for a fraction of a second (e.g. 1/2000s) and will have to be received by the camera in the recording. A camera therefore always has a minimum shutter speed in order to be able to make a recording in combination with a flash. This is often between 1/100 and 1/200. Because during the recording two shutter curtains move in front of the image sensor. The time between the first curtain and the second determines the shutter speed. The flash must therefore come in the part between the so-called curtains. Many modern cameras respond to this by synchronising the shutter speed with the capacity of the camera. Two flashes shortly after each other ensure that the subject is properly exposed. With advanced flashes, several flashes even follow each other, so that the lighting is exactly as desired. Because the pre-flashes ensure that the camera can calculate the right flash strength for recording the image. All of this is put into operation when you (half) press the shutter button. You can of course view the final photo and if desired you can alter the light incidence for taking another photo of the subject.
Functions of an external flash
An external flash has a number of functions which can considerably improve the result of the recording. With the tilt-rotate function you can ensure that light is reflected onto the subject via for instance a ceiling, wall or reflector. As a result, you can create a more natural image, whereby overexposure and the effect of red eyes are also prevented. Some flashes have the possibility of being operated remotely and wireless, so no disruptive vibrations occur. Of course, a tripod also offers the solution in many of these situations. Another function is an extendable bounce card, with which the light reflection can be changed. For a recording in a photo studio, outdoors in the sunlight as well as during the falling darkness, the reporter flash can also offer a solution.
Comparision with a built-in flash
Some cameras have a built-in flash, but this is often weak in strength and result. Only subjects at just a few metres can therefore be captured and are also still dependent on the surrounding light. Another disadvantage to the internal flash is that it is not titable and can therefore not be aimed from a certain angle at the object either. If you prefer not to invest in an expensive external flash, there are still enough affordable options which can offer a solution.
Extra accessories
As well as all the available parts which are supplied with a reporter flash (flash foot, charger, filters) there are also a few extras which can offer added value. There are for instance filters which can give an effect to the colour of the light, transceivers for indirectly controlling the flash or background cloths for changing the total recording. | eng | 768e8245-1416-4536-ab04-e0b533bf3d77 | https://www.photospecialist.com/reporter-flashes |

Volleyball; History, rules and benefits of this popular sport
Volleyball is the third most popular team sport after football and basketball. This game has many fans in Iran, and every match in which the Iranian volleyball team participates draws people to the television. In this article, we will learn more about this fascinating sport and explain a little about some technical issues such as volleyball techniques and volleyball skills, then we will examine its wonderful advantages for physical and mental health. Stay with us.
How to play volleyball?
To play this sport, you need a volleyball net and ball. Each team stands on one side of the net and tries to pass the ball through the net into the opponent's field. The opposing team must return the ball to the opponent's field with a maximum of 3 moves. This attack and defense is repeated until one of the teams fails to return the ball or one of the volleyball errors occurs.
In official competitions, each volleyball team has 6 players, but in recreational games, this number can be more or less. This sport is held all over the world in both indoor and beach forms, both of which are part of the Olympic Games and have professional leagues. In 2020, the Iranian volleyball team qualified for the Tokyo Olympics, but was eliminated from the competition.
Volleyball rules
Only 6 players from each team should be on the field, 3 in the front row and 3 in the back row.
A player is not allowed to hit the ball twice in a row. (This is one of the mistakes of volleyball.)
If the ball lands on the boundary lines, it is considered in and the opposing team scores a point.
If the ball hits the antennas or the inner part of the net or lands outside the boundaries of the field, points are given to the opposing team.
Players are allowed to hit or receive the ball with any part of their body, such as the foot, chest or head.
Carrying the ball, holding it or catching it are among volleyball fouls.
Once served, players can change their position on the court.
The history of volleyball
William Morgan invented volleyball in 1895. A sports coach at the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA), he wanted to design a sport that was less violent than basketball and could be enjoyed by middle-aged and non-professionals. Fortunately, people liked this new sport and it gained many fans. Volleyball became part of the Olympic Games in 1964, when the men's gold medal went to the Soviet Union and the women's gold medal went to Japan.
The benefits of volleyball
1. Burn calories
According to research, we can burn 126 calories by playing volleyball for 20 minutes. The more the player moves on the volleyball court to hit the ball, the more calories burned per minute.
2. Increase body metabolism
To increase metabolism, the body needs to constantly use energy, and exercise is a great way to do this. When a player dives to catch the ball or jumps to hit a waterfall, the muscles are engaged and the body uses more energy. In such a situation, energy distribution between body organs is in the most optimal possible state.
3. Strengthening the vital organs of the body
Scientists have found that physical activity ensures the health of vital body organs such as kidneys and lungs. When we exercise, the body must send more blood to the muscles to receive the necessary oxygen. This encourages the heart and lungs to work harder. A healthy heart prevents many diseases and is beneficial for the general health of the body.
4. Reduce stress and anxiety
In today's world, there are many issues that constantly stress us. If we do not do anything to reduce stress, it will have many adverse effects on our health. Exercise, especially exercise that requires concentration, is a great way to overcome stress.
Volleyball requires constant concentration, which makes the player forget his problems and focus all his attention on the game. Therefore, the player has a calm mind during the game and the pressure of anxiety is reduced.
5. Prevention of excess fat accumulation in the body and obesity
When we exercise, we constantly consume energy, which prevents the accumulation of fat in the body and obesity. Accumulation of fat in the body increases the risk of heart attack and other heart diseases. Volleyball is a dynamic sport that requires a lot of energy and prevents the player from becoming obese by preventing the accumulation of fat in the body.
6. Improve coordination of muscles and nerves
To move any muscle, the brain sends a message to that muscle through nerves. The implementation of volleyball techniques requires very fast and sudden movements, which improve the coordination of muscles and nerves.
7. Prevention of osteoporosis
Inactivity causes osteoporosis, which weakens the bones and, as a result, weakens the muscles and the whole body. Exercising and strengthening muscles strengthens bones by continuously working them. Interestingly, strengthened bones also support muscles and a positive cycle is created to strengthen the whole body.
Some volleyball skills, such as serving and diving to receive the ball, gradually strengthen the bones and increase their density. According to research, the bone density of players in this field is higher than the bone density of those who exercise less.
8. Increased focus
A volleyball player should be aware of many things, for example:
the position and movements of his teammates;
ball movements;
The movements of the opposing team's players.
The player's brain must analyze all this information so that he can perform volleyball techniques well, so this sport increases the player's concentration.
9. Increase speed and agility
When you first start learning volleyball skills, you will find that you are a bit slow, because the execution of volleyball techniques requires a lot of speed and flexibility. With practice, your reaction speed and flexibility will increase over time.
10. Increase physical fitness
Chronic inactivity causes a decrease in physical fitness, physical limitations, muscle cramps and pain. Exercising by increasing physical fitness prevents these complications and strengthens the body's immune system and increases a person's strength.
11. Strengthening personal discipline
Creating a habit of regularity is one of the advantages of volleyball, because one has to regularly participate in practices and coordinate with other players.
12. Strengthen emotional control
As in many sports, controlling emotions is essential in volleyball. If players are not in control of their emotions, they will easily lose their morale and lose the game. According to research, the performance of volleyball players is excellent when controlling anger and overcoming anxiety.
13. Improve the function of the respiratory system
When playing volleyball, the body needs a lot of oxygen, and by increasing the heart rate and breathing, more oxygen reaches the muscles. This activity leads to the strengthening of the respiratory system and healthy breathing.
14. Increase hand-eye coordination
When the player's eyes are on the volleyball ball, the body moves instinctively, and it is necessary to perform volleyball techniques such as receiving the ball and hitting it, coordinating the hand muscles with the information received through the eyes. Our eyes often make mistakes in estimating distances and speeds, but volleyball practice increases hand-eye coordination over time.
15. Mood improvement
When a doctor diagnoses a person with anxiety or depression, they often recommend exercise to relieve anxiety and overcome depression. Exercising relaxes muscles and improves mood by relieving body tension.
16. Memory Improvement
According to researches, those who exercise have less memory loss in old age. Exercise strengthens the brain, especially volleyball, which takes a toll on the brain and engages the brain cells to coordinate the eyes and the body. Any exercise that works on brain cells will strengthen memory.
Some recommendations for starting volleyball
Having a proper diet and nutrition: athletes' bodies need a lot of energy, and consuming a lot of carbohydrates and fluids is recommended for them.
Sufficient rest: Sufficient sleep is necessary to improve the condition of the body and restore it.
Warming up before exercise: Warming up before exercise is very important, especially a heavy sport like volleyball.
Having perseverance: becoming professional in volleyball requires concentration and perseverance.
Drink enough water: the athlete loses a lot of water during exercise, which must be compensated by drinking fluids.
Join local teams and clubs: To improve your volleyball skills, you need to practice regularly, so why not join a local club or join a school team?
you say
Volleyball is a popular sport that has many benefits, from increasing physical fitness to improving memory and improving mood. The attractive game of the Iranian volleyball team has made this sport very popular in our country.

New record as 2022 confirmed as UK's hottest year
The UK's average temperature exceeded 10 degrees Celsius (50 Fahrenheit) last year for the first time since records began -- a once-in-500 years event without man-made climate change.
The Met Office confirmed Thursday that 2022 was the country's hottest year on record with an average temperature of 10.03 degrees Celsius.
Since records began in 1884, the 10 warmest years have occurred from 2003, the meteorological service said, confirming trends reported elsewhere in Europe this winter.
Nikos Christidis, climate attribution scientist for the Met Office, said it studied current temperatures compared to models shorn of the impact of human climate influence.
"The results showed that recording 10 degrees Celsius in a natural climate would occur around once every 500 years, whereas in our current climate it could be as frequently as once every three to four years," he said.
By the end of the century, without steeper cuts to carbon emissions, "a UK average temperature of 10 degrees Celsius could occur almost every year", Christidis added.
The Met Office report was released ahead of a broader study on January 10 by Copernicus, the European Union's planetary observation programme, into EU and global weather patterns last year.
Earth has warmed more than 1.1 degrees Celsius since the late 19th century, with roughly half of that increase occurring in the past 30 years, the World Meteorological Organization said in a report | eng | 78026bab-1c3a-476e-bbf2-173025416ee6 | https://www.news24.com/fin24/climate_future/environment/new-record-as-2022-confirmed-as-uks-hottest-year-20230105 |

"Look at him, he's a cla.s.sic demonstration of someone that uses others but nevertheless refuses to concede it… I don't purchase it. Is not it decent to always be scored initially together? Why is it necessary to decide on a fight and ask the teacher to provide Mian another area? Qin Chu, I useful to assume that you had been anyone, however didn't be expecting you to be someone who would do anything for increased search rankings. Hmph… poor critique for you… No, I feel I'm changing from becoming your supporter to an anti-supporter." Moreover, he or she was Qin Chu… "Look at him, he's a cla.s.sic type of a person who uses other people but nevertheless refuses to confess it… I don't purchase it.

Biological warfare is the use of microbiological agents as weapons. Such use is contrary to international law and has rarely taken place during formal warfare in modern history, despite the extensive preparations and stockpiling of biological agents carried out during the 20th century.
Recognition of Biological Weapon Injuries
Distinguishing the use of a biological weapon from a natural outbreak of disease may be difficult for doctors. Clues to a deliberate rather than a natural origin of a disease outbreak include the following:
Cases of diseases not usually seen in that geographic area
Unusual distribution of cases among segments of the population
Significantly different illness rates between those inside and those outside buildings
Separate outbreaks in geographically diverse areas
Multiple simultaneous or serial outbreaks of different diseases in the same population
Unusual routes of exposure (such as inhalation)
A disease that normally affects animals occurring in humans
A disease that normally affects animals arising in an area where that animal species is not usually present
Unusual severity of disease
Unusual strains of infectious agents
Failure to respond to standard therapy
The symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of people with the following diseases caused by high-risk biological weapons are discussed elsewhere in THE MANUALS:
Doctors may need to isolate people exposed to a biological weapon and place under quarantine people known to have been in contact with an exposed person.
Response to Biological Weapon Injuries
Because of the relatively long incubation periods of diseases caused by biological weapons, people will likely be treated in a hospital. People are given vaccines, antibiotics, or antiviral drugs depending on the specific infectious organism involved. Sometimes people who have been in contact with the affected people are given preventive treatment. For many biological weapons, there is no specific treatment or vaccine.

This movie was out of circulation for years and only recently began making the rounds again. I'm glad it has, but that's largely because I'm a bit of a completist about these things, not because it was particularly good.

The most interesting moment is when John Agar has a nightmare about scientific paraphernalia and white rats, and it has a certain amount of curiosity value in that one of the victims is Joe Besser (as a gas station attendant) and an almost-victim is Butch Patrick (Eddie Munster).

ESA's JUICE Mission – Making History on its Way to Jupiter
Athena Coustenis (CNRS/Observatoire de Paris, Meudon, France), member of the JUICE Science Working Team and Co-I of the JANUS camera, describes the emotional journey to the launchpad and beyond for Europe's new mission to explore the icy moons of Jupiter.
he JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) launched on Friday, 14 April 2023 at 14:14 CEST (9:14 AM local) from the European Space Agency (ESA) spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana.
I was very happy to witness the launch on site, from the Toucan Observation Deck, alongside many of the friends and colleagues with whom I started this adventure more than 13 years ago. We all watched in awe as one of the very last Ariane 5 launchers lifted the spacecraft, which had a launch-mass of 5.963 tonnes, from pad ELA-3. The 116th Ariane 5 mission flew due east out over the Atlantic Ocean and inclined just shy of three degrees to the Equator. At three minutes and nine seconds (T+3:09) into the flight, the fairings separated to reveal JUICE in its stowed-configuration. The upper stage separated from the core stage at T+8:44 and five seconds later, after a very short coast phase, the upper stage's HM-7B engine ignited. This burn pushed JUICE to a speed of 2.5 kilometres per second, giving the spacecraft enough energy to escape the Earth-Moon system. The upper stage shut down at T+25:25, with spacecraft separation occurring shortly after at T+27:45.
To our relief, after some very long, nervous minutes watching the screen, first contact with JUICE was achieved. About an hour later, the communications antenna, followed by the 85-square-metre solar arrays – the largest solar panels ever flown on an interplanetary spacecraft – deployed perfectly. JUICE was safely on its way! Over the following hours, days and weeks, JUICE deployed various antennae, a magnetometer and probes for measuring its gravitational, radio, plasma and magnetic environments. A sticky situation with the 16-metre-long Radar for Icy Moon Exploration (RIME) antenna, which jammed mid-way through unfolding, was resolved eventually by firing two actuators that jolted the final pieces into position.

The successful launch was an emotional moment because the story of JUICE started with a setback: in 2011, the Europa Jupiter System Mission (EJSM), a proposed joint NASA-ESA mission to study Jupiter's and magnetosphere, was abandoned due to constraints with the NASA budget. However, along with many other colleagues, Michele Dougherty, Emma Bunce, Olivier Grasset, Christian Erd and I recovered the proposed Ganymede orbiter from EJSM and turned it into the first large mission to fly within the European Space Agency's Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 plan.
The high-level goal of JUICE is to investigate the largest planet in our Solar System, Jupiter – its magnetosphere, its icy moons and their inter-relations in all their complexity – through detailed observations with a suite of ten unique instruments. However, the main focus of the mission will be on the three large 'Galilean' moons, Ganymede, Callisto and Europa, that are expected to harbour liquid water oceans underneath their surfaces. JUICE will characterise these moons, highlighting their unique features as planetary objects, and investigate their astrobiological potential as possible habitats. The mission will also explore Jupiter's complex environment in depth and study the wider Jovian system as an archetype for gas giants in other exoplanetary systems across the Universe. JUICE will arrive at Jupiter in mid-2031, with a mission duration foreseen until at least 2035. It is a 3-axis stabilised spacecraft that uses a set of spinning momentum wheels to adjust its orientation and a propulsion system to adjust its attitude and orbit. A series of Venus and Earth gravity assists will speed JUICE onwards during its 8.9-year cruise.
JUICE will be the first spacecraft ever to orbit a moon other than our own – Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede. And, en route to Jupiter, it will perform the first ever lunar- Earth gravity assist – a flyby of the Moon followed a day and a half later by the Earth – which will save a significant amount of propellant.
The mission will culminate in a dedicated nine-month orbital tour around Ganymede, during which the spacecraft will perform an in-depth investigation of the moon and its environment. During this phase, JUICE's orbits will include an elliptical phase, followed by a circular orbit at a 5000 kilometre altitude above Ganymede's surface, then a second elliptical phase. A final manoeuvre will put the spacecraft into a circular orbit at a 500 kilometre altitude. A mission extension, through continued operations at the final or at a lower orbit (target 200 kilometres), may be feasible depending on the propellant usage and the performance of the solar arrays and the overall spacecraft.
Once its mission ends, JUICE will eventually impact the surface of Ganymede to ensure that it does not collide with Europa and potentially contaminate it with microbes from the Earth carried by the spacecraft.
The science objectives for JUICE cover a broad range of different disciplines and call for a large number of measurements. JUICE will carry out extensive new studies of Jupiter's atmosphere and magnetosphere – and their interaction with Jupiter's moons – to enhance our understanding of the evolution and dynamics of the Jovian system. The mission will characterise the diversity of processes in the Jupiter system that may be required to provide a stable environment at the icy moons over geological time scales. This includes gravitational inter-relationships between the Galilean satellites, and their long-term tidal influence on the system as a whole. Ganymede, Europa and Io exhibit a 1:2:4 'Laplace resonance' (below), whereby Io, the closest planet to Jupiter, orbits four times for every two orbits of Europa and one orbit of Ganymede. JUICE's studies of Ganymede, Callisto and Europa will be enhanced by additional remote-sensing data gathered on Io and the smaller moons.
Ganymede,Europa and Io are locked in a 1:2:4'Laplace resonance', whereby Io orbits four
times for every two orbits of Europa and one orbit of Ganymede.
The tidal response of the moons' icy shells strongly depends on the presence of oceans. The Galilean moons are locked in a stable 1:1 spin-orbit resonance (i.e. like Earth's moon, they rotate once for every orbit). However, slight periodic variations in the rotation rate (physical librations) and the amplitudes associated with these librations may provide further evidence for subsurface oceans. JUICE will precisely measure the rotation rate, pole-position, obliquity (tilt) and libration amplitude of Ganymede. This will further constrain the dynamical history of the moon (e.g. despinning, resonance capture, non-synchronous rotation of the icy shell), as well as yielding information on the subsurface ocean and deeper interior.
Ganymede, the largest natural satellite in the Solar System, became the main target of this space mission not only because it provides a natural laboratory for the investigation of a possible habitable world, but also because of its unique magnetic and plasma interactions with the surrounding environment, and because of the role it plays with the other Galilean satellites within the Laplace resonance.
Ganymede and Europa are believed to be internally active, due to a strong tidal interaction and other energy sources. The instruments on board JUICE will investigate the evolution and chemical composition of the icy moons' surfaces and
of their subsurface oceans. The studies of subsurface liquid water oceans in several of these bodies will lead to a better understanding of their chemical composition and the possible sources and cycling of chemical and thermal energy. JUICE will also provide the research community with detailed information on how gas giants and their moons form and evolve, and will enable an evaluation of the processes that have affected the moons and their environments through time.
The JUICE spacecraft carries remote sensing, geophysical and in-situ instruments that are engineered to the specific challenge of taking measurements in Jupiter's intense radiation environment. The payload (see infographic below) consists of ten state-of-the-art instruments and one experiment that uses the spacecraft telecommunication system with ground-based instruments. This suite of instruments involves people from many different countries and areas of expertise, who represent large scientific and engineering communities and demonstrate the broad international collaboration around the project.
The remote sensing instruments include capabilities for imaging (JANUS) and spectral-imaging from the ultraviolet to the sub-millimetre wavelengths (MAJIS, UVS, SWI). The geophysical package consists of a laser altimeter (GALA), the radar sounder (RIME) for exploring the surface and subsurface of the moons. A radio science experiment (3GM) will probe the atmospheres of Jupiter and its moons, and perform measurements of the gravity fields. A further experiment (PRIDE) will use ground-based very-long-baseline interferometry to precisely determine the spacecraft's position and velocity for complementary gravity science. Finally, particle and field investigations will be performed by the particle environment package (PEP), a magnetometer (J-MAG), and a radio and plasma wave instrument (RPWI), which includes electric field sensors and a Langmuir probe for measuring the the electron temperature, the electron density and the ion density of the plasma.
As with previous endeavours of this magnitude, JUICE is an international mission. NASA has contributed the UVS instrument and hardware for two European-led instruments, while the Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) has contributed hardware for various of the European-led instruments.
The fascinatingly complex system around Jupiter makes it a priority target for space missions and ground-based observations. NASA's Juno mission, which arrived in 2016, is carrying out a focused study of Jupiter's interior and inner magnetosphere that will be complemented by the in-situ characterisation of the wider Jovian system by JUICE, as well as NASA's upcoming Europa Clipper mission.
JUICE and Europa Clipper will certainly provide original and ground-breaking results, including on Jupiter's atmosphere, magnetospheric and plasma environment, as well as on the exospheres of the icy moons. Having two spacecraft at the same time around Jupiter will also improve the accuracy of data on positions over time (ephemerides) of the Galilean moons, thus enhancing our knowledge of the dynamics, resonances and internal dissipation in the Jovian system.
I would like to say a huge thanks to the whole JUICE team: Olivier Witasse, Giuseppe Sarri, Nicolas Altobelli, Claire Vallat and everyone working on this mission for the past 13 years! I'm looking forward to getting a glimpse of the arrival in mid 2031 and to the joint observations and many breakthroughs from the JUICE and Europa Clipper missions to come! | eng | 1bfaf24e-fdac-4f33-a44d-cbc6aec2fe8e | https://www.europlanet-society.org/europlanet-magazine/issue-5/esas-juice-mission/ |
Leveraging the Power of UI Architecture for Mobile Applications
As the mobile application market continues to grow, developers are looking for new ways to leverage the power of UI architecture to create innovative and engaging experiences for their users. UI architecture is the foundation of any successful mobile application, and it is essential to understand the principles and best practices of UI architecture when creating a mobile application.
UI architecture is the process of designing and implementing the user interface of a mobile application. This includes the visual design, the user interactions, and the overall user experience. It is important to consider the user's needs and preferences when designing the UI architecture of a mobile application. This includes understanding the user's goals, the context in which the application will be used, and the user's device capabilities.
One of the most important aspects of UI architecture for mobile applications is the use of responsive design. Responsive design ensures that the user interface is optimized for different screen sizes and device types. This allows the application to be used on a variety of devices and ensures that the user experience is consistent across all devices.
Another important element of UI architecture for mobile applications is the use of gestures. Gestures are an intuitive way for users to interact with the application and can be used to provide a more natural user experience. Gestures can be used to navigate the application, to access content, and to interact with the user interface.
The use of animations is also an important part of UI architecture for mobile applications. Animations can be used to make the user interface more engaging and to provide visual feedback to the user. Animations can also be used to provide a more immersive user experience, allowing the user to feel more connected to the application.
Finally, the use of micro-interactions is an important part of UI architecture for mobile applications. Micro-interactions are small interactions that provide the user with feedback or information about the application. Examples of micro-interactions include pop-ups, tooltips, and error messages.
By leveraging the power of UI architecture for mobile applications, developers can create engaging and immersive experiences for their users. By understanding the principles and best practices of UI architecture, developers can create applications that are optimized for different devices and provide a consistent user experience across all devices. Additionally, developers can use gestures, animations, and micro-interactions to create a more natural and immersive user experience. #Leveraging #Power #Architecture #Mobile #Applications | eng | b70a5a4a-1b6a-4ed3-bfdc-b68a7ec6a82b | https://trusecai.com/leveraging-the-power-of-ui-architecture-for-mobile-applications/ |
Tag: dynamic rangeAlmost every photo requires at least some adjustment to exposure and dynamic range. With RAW photos in particular, you can get more out of them than you may have expected. This comes in handy if you didn't watch your exposure settings when shooting or you are shooting a scene with harsh highlights and dark shadows. A common example is a landscape or portrait photo where a part of the photo contains a bright sky and another is covered in shadows.
Dynamic range is a term often used when describing scenes, reviewing cameras, and exorcising a variety of photographic demons. But there's nothing supernatural about it. By understanding how it works and learning to work with it as you shoot, you can prevent overexposed and underexposed scenes.
I'm sure you've heard the word exposure. But you might not be sure that you know what it means. And if you're unsure, this article is for you. A photo's success depends on many different things—such as light conditions during the shot. But it also depends on correct camera settings, and especially the three exposure settings: time, aperture, and ISO. You, the photographer, need to choose values that both give you correct exposure (how dark or light the photo is) and help you express what you want to express. These settings affect your expression because they influence how time and space are recorded in the photo. | eng | b24764b7-381f-4cb1-b599-dcdadffade7e | https://learn.zoner.com/tag/dynamic-range/ |

If you missed out on the astronomical wonder, you will be able to view individual meteors until Saturday December 16.
The National Weather Service based in Raleigh in the USA said the meteor shower has reached its peak but it still should be visible over the next few nights as well, but cloud cover will mean the meteors are less visible than last night.
The peak activity of the Geminid meteor shower took place between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning with around 50 to 60 meteors seen per hour in the night sky.
The best display was visible between midnight and 2am and could be viewed until dawn this morning.
The name of the shower comes from the position in the sky of the radiant, which is the point where all the trails are coming from and in the case of the Geminids, it is the Gemini (the Twins).
Meteors can travel at speeds of up to 70 kilometres per second and are very bright and move moderately fast.
The shower has been known to produce over 100 meteors per hour at its peak, however light pollution and other factors mean that the actual number visible is far less.
The meteors originate from Asteroid 3200 Phaethon, the debris shed by the asteroid crashes into the Earth's upper atmosphere at around 80,000 miles (130,000 km per hour) and vaporise as colourful Geminid meteors and cause the streak of light we call meteors.
Further to this, Asteroid 3200 Phaethon – the origin of the meteors – will be reaching its minimum distance from the Earth on December 16.
Every year the Earth crosses the asteroid's orbital path and in 2017 it will sweep close to the planet just a few days after the peak of the meteor shower.
It will come as close as 10.3 millions of km/6.4 million miles to Earth, the closest encounter since the asteroid was discovered in 1983.
It is flagged as potentially hazardous as it is larger than 100/150 metres, the diameter of the asteroid is 5.1km.
"The minimum distance of Phaethon from the Sun is of 21 millions of km only, less than half that of Mercury, the inner plant of our Solar System," astrophysicist Gianluca Masi told The Virtual Telescope, which hosts livestreams of meteor showers on their site.
The Virtual Telescope Project will broadcast a live feed of the Asteroid 3200 Phaethon.
It will begin at 8am GMT on Friday December 15 from Arizona and a second broadcast will begin at 8pm GMT on Saturday December 16 from Italy. | eng | 6c6c2376-c2ed-456d-a6ef-674cfa1a0cbc | http://scienceglobalnews.com/uncategorized/geminids-meteor-shower-2017-can-you-still-see-the-meteors-tonight-science-news/ |

AI in Education: Can it Potentially Bring About a Paradigm Shift?
A research report from Mckinsey released last year suggests that both students and teachers are eager to continue using the new classroom learning technologies implemented during the pandemic-led lockdowns. To complement video lectures, educators used technology that enabled more interactive learning. Though the pandemic is behind us, the world of teaching and assessment underwent a paradigm shift. Today, with generative AI appearing on the scene, learning could move away from an instructor-led model to a self-learning journey. Though the prospects of a robot replacing a teacher is still a far cry.
Change it will, but how much is yet to emerge?
At this point in time, we can safely state that in addition to innovating the manner in which businesses function and industries evolve, AI can make an impact on the education system, though how much it could revolutionize the way students engage with learning is yet to be understood. As with the other verticals, AI would use myriad data annotations to improve the speed and efficacy of human effort across schools and colleges.
Leveraging AI and machine learning (ML) tools, educators, students, parents and policy makers can come together to develop courseware that provide the skills that learners need to survive in the fast-paced automation environment. In fact, this is not an individual's need alone as the community and the country at large would require innovation in education in order to address the complex challenges that the evolving economic growth models would push our way in the years ahead.
According to a study by Global Market Insights, more than 50% of schools and colleges already rely on AI for administrative assistance and were ready to apply them for enhancing the quality of higher education and possibly the K12 as well.
There are ways to harness AI into academics
From chatbots to automation, AI applications can be deployed in different forms to create interactive academic plans and help students transcend the theoretical knowledge of subjects they study. Scroll down to check out a few caselets where AI could make an impact on scholastic models.
Personalized education – AI responds to various cognitive abilities. It takes into account students' past performance tailors lesson plans to increase focus on areas where they need to improve. In personalizing education, AI can also direct students to relevant resources that help them improve their familiarity with new concepts. Further to this, the technology can reach students discretely even when they come together in large groups – it can adapt to everyone's knowledge grasping potential and help them succeed with tailored lessons. And it breaks the barriers in communication with multilingual teaching.
Quick assessments – Teachers spend a huge chunk of their time grading assignments and AI helps to expedite the process. It can identify gaps in learning and offer feedback on grammar, vocabulary and veracity of students' answers in tests. With ML intelligence, it also prevents favoritism and unintentional human mistakes. Summarily, all students get a gist of where they went wrong and how they can improve to perform better ahead.
More engaging tutorials – With AI-powered chatbots and interactive training materials, students get more immersive and innovative learning experiences. Also, they can access these chatbots and digital modules at anytime to continue their sessions even beyond classroom hours. Advanced chatbots can customize knowledge delivery for any subject, share pertinent multimedia elements with students, and help them strengthen the impact an academic course has on their lives.
Reallocation of teachers' time to support students – When AI takes over the role of general tutoring, grading, and certain administrative tasks, educators have more time to accelerate students' intellectual growth and social skills. They can leverage predictive analysis to identify individually faced challenges and give students the tools to succeed in areas where they struggle to move up the learning curve.
As a transformative technology AI has the prowess to revolutionize academic life, and with its continuous evolution, there will be more solutions to improve processes followed in schools and universities. On a cautionary note though, educators must ensure that it remains a driving force of equity and quality. In the restructured education sector, there are possibilities of AI misuse to create shortcuts for syllabus completion. It is also essential to fine tune AI so that it does not replicate prevailing biases.
In order to maximize the benefits of artificial intelligence for both students and teachers, there needs to be some best practices that are adhered to. Here are a few examples:
Co-create – When edtech professionals and educators collaborate to design AI applications, they can integrate strong pedagogy, address specific needs, and add cultural contexts to design unbiased learning tools. The low-code platforms used by both technical experts and citizen developers for software building can help here
Enhance digital literacy – Besides investing in IT essentials, educational institutions must work to close the digital divide by facilitating access to devices and high-speed networks for both teachers and students.
Privacy is invaluable – Because AI is powered by data, access to great amounts of information helps unlock its full potential. Concurrently, to prevent intrusion on the individuals' privacy – which concerns their grades, weaknesses, learning pace, and other related attributes – it is necessary to implement data anonymization processes that ensure ethical use of technology.
The future of academics is artificial
The adoption of AI in education comes with its benefits and challenges. While technology will never replace human teachers, the ones who use it will. For instructors, it would serve as an assistant providing appropriate teaching aids that optimizes learning with skill development. Given that AI is devoid of all social connect and empathy, teachers must always act as the go-between when it comes to students' will. Therefore, the future of AI in education will involve a partnership between technology and human expertise with a direct focus on nurturing the minds towards transforming the world | eng | 5dcdc052-cdb2-4efc-92e3-94818e2a8311 | https://www.roibypractus.com/2023/09/06/ai-in-education-can-it-potentially-bring-about-a-paradigm-shift/ |
Opinion: COP26 deserves our attention
The Glasgow Climate Change Conference is a conference being held in Scotland for the United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26. The 2021 COP26 consisted of hundreds of world leaders coming together to discuss the effects of climate change from Oct 31 to Nov. 12.
The discussion on climate change needed to be aggressive and clear, and many leaders wanted more support for Biden's Build Back Better Plan. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) came out with a report before COP26 that detailed 10 Climate insights that need to be taken into account throughout the discussions in Glasgow.
The first insight was that 1.5 degrees celsius is still achievable but overshoot of this temperature goal was likely because there is a 2 billion gigatonne reduction needed with an additional linear decrease five percent yearly.
The second insight of the 10 that needed to be taken into account discussed how methane and nitrous oxides cannot be ignored within the decreases of emissions and need to be included and reduced. The third insight talks about the megafires happening all over the world. With Americans familiar with the fires in California that have not stopped burning nor been able to be controlled. These megafires are actually amplifying the already warming climate, affecting every ecosystem they touch.
The fourth insight discussed how tipping points within the climate, although now less likely, are still ever so dangerous. The fifth insight was that the climate action taken must be just with the richest 1% decreasing their emissions by a factor of 30 and the poorest 1% able to increase their emission by a factor of three. The world's poorest are the ones that are suffering the most compared to the world's richest that can afford to adapt to the changes within the climate that only affect them minimally.
The sixth insight relates closely to the fifth insight about climate justice that stated that household behaviors and lifestyles must change, specifically consumption patterns. For the top 1% that would mean both dispersing their wealth as well as not supporting a consumerist lifestyle and helping those that cannot provide for themselves or protect their families from climate change and the increased weather disasters it brings.
The discussion of politics in carbon pricing was what the seventh insight was composed of. There is currently carbon pricing in 61 countries but that only covers 20 percent of carbon emissions. The European Union carbon pricing is an example of how successful this program can be if the pricing is increased to make an economic difference.
The eighth climate insight was that nature based solutions are fundamental and need to be robust and resilient. Specifically not using already natural carbon sinks as additional offset resources because they are already factored into the current carbon budget we have.
Number nine discussed the resiliency of the ocean and how it is the global thermostat. This is important because there are countless threats to the ocean including direct exploitation, invasive species, pollution, climate change, and habitat destruction and modification. Protecting marine life needs to be at the utmost priority as they support the ecological systems.
The tenth climate insight was that the costs of climate change mitigation are justified by the benefits to the health of humans and nature. The ultimate cost of climate destruction is the health of humans and animals combined. Thus the cost is worth the ever increasing price as we continue to delay climate action to work on mitigation and adaptation strategies for the future.
The Gaslow Conference spreads awareness for climate change and what we can do to stop it, implementing necessary measures to be utilized in preserving our planet for future generations. | eng | 7f3ce4a9-4112-455b-9d97-0451c6848d1f | https://iwuargus.com/4802/opinions/opinion-cop26-deserves-our-attention/ |

Elk populations are up in Alberta's parkland and prairie zones
ALBERTA
This past February in Alberta was really cold, and spring was slow in arriving. Overall, however, the winter was better than average, and with few incidents of winterkill, most reports for big-game animals are positive. So, Alberta hunters can rejoice—the game managers predict this should be a good fall.
BLACK BEARS
Advertisement
This species can be found across most of the province, but the highest harvest is in the Foothills zone and the southern wildlife management units (WMUs) of the Northern Boreal zone. There are no concerns with black bear numbers.
ELK
Provincially, elk numbers are stable, and while they're down in the Mountain and Foothills zones, they're up in the Prairie and Parkland zones. Hunting opportunities will be adjusted to reflect the latest game inventories.
Advertisement
MOOSE
Moose populations in the Prairie and Parkland zones are doing well, but they're struggling in the Northern Boreal and Foothills zones. Hunters will have fewer opportunities where moose numbers are down, but that will be compensated somewhat by increased opportunities in areas such as the Peace River Valley.
MULE DEER
After two consecutive winters that were relatively mild, mule deer numbers are recovering from the nasty winters of several years ago. Unfortunately for this species—and hunters—chronic wasting disease (CWD) is becoming as much of a concern as winter die-off. Reports of CWD are increasing, and the range of infected areas is expanding. For this fall, though, the prospects for mule deer hunters are looking good.
PRONGHORNS
The severity of winters largely controls the population of this species. Thankfully, the past couple of winters have been good, and pronghorn numbers are up. In fact, they may be approaching the highest numbers typically seen in southern Alberta. All signs point to another good year for hunters; if drawn, their chances of success are very high.
WHITETAILS
White-tailed deer are doing fine in Alberta. This species can recovery quickly from a bad winter, and the two recent relatively mild winters have allowed populations to grow nicely. In short, there are plenty of opportunities to hunt whitetails in the province. | eng | 460b70bc-89e9-408c-96ed-31bebbfc4c3c | https://www.outdoorcanada.ca/2019huntinghotspots/3/ |

I'm exhausted in the morning...and crabby and stressed and unmotivated. OK, so that's a lot of things, and that's just me. It's really impacting the whole family.
Every time he wakes, Little P wakes up too, since they share a room. … [Read more...]
How did you sleep last night?
Did you get a good night's sleep? Yeah, me neither. You know who did sleep well? The twins.
No matter how crazy they drive me during the day, I can always count on them to go to sleep early and stay asleep until morning. Now, it's very early morning, but it's still morning. I did not have the same luck with my oldest child.

Blood donation eligibility just became more inclusive—here's how + why it's important
The American Red Cross is celebrating a big win toward more inclusive blood donor eligibility with a new FDA-issued policy in early August. Read on for what this means and how you can save lives as a blood donor.
Blood donation eligibility and the need for change
The American Red Cross during a local blood drive. (Sabrina Palmer / Bham Now)
Did you know only about one third of the US population is eligible to give blood? This means during any given blood drive, up to 20 percent of those who want to donate may be turned away due to FDA guidelines.
There are several factors that can make a blood donor be ineligible such as medication being taken, a previous cancer diagnosis or low iron levels. Sexually active gay and bisexual men have also been deferred from donating.
The American Red Cross is committed to two goals:
Achieving an inclusive blood donation process that treats all potential donors with equality and respect
Maintaining a safe blood supply
To achieve these goals, the American Red Cross has worked tirelessly for years to help implement a new FDA policy toward a more inclusive blood donation process.
An important first step in making change possible was by participating in the Assessing Donor Variability And New Concepts in Eligibility Study—or the ADVANCE Study. (Thank goodness for acronyms!)
The study was designed to assess if the questions related to sexual behaviors asked when donating blood may be effective in distinguishing between gay and bisexual men who have recently become infected with HIV and those who do not have HIV infection. | eng | e55a8bd4-8334-4f05-8450-94bb7bfab428 | https://bhamnow.com/2023/08/23/blood-donation-eligibility-just-became-more-inclusive-heres-how-why-its-important/ |

A brief introduction to the new edition.
Welcome to Access to English: Social Studies, a textbook for the five-hour course in English with a focus on social studies (Samfunnsfaglig engelsk – programfag i studiespesialiserende utdanningsprogram). Our revision brings the book up to date with regard to recent social, economic and political developments in the English-speaking world, with particular reference to the UK and the USA. These are times of great change in both countries, and in the world as a whole, and our aim has been to throw light on some of the underlying forces bringing about these changes and to invite discussion about their consequences.
The new edition follows a structure that will be familiar to those who have used other textbooks in the Access series. Each of the six chapters contains a Focus text – or, in the case of chapters 5 and 6, two Focus texts. These have been specially written to provide you with a clear, up-to-date overview of the themes dealt with in the chapter. Embedded in these Focus texts there are short, authentic texts ("cases") taken from various sources that exemplify, support or elaborate on these themes. In addition each chapter has longer texts – some factual and some literary – that provide independent perspectives and an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of particular aspects of the issues dealt with.
Chapters 1 and 2 provide a historical background to the UK and the USA respectively, focusing on the forces that have shaped the two countries as we know them today. Chapters 3 and 4 deal with the countries' political systems and traditions and how they continue to impact on present-day political life. Chapters 5 and 6 deal with the social challenges and tensions that characterise British and American societies today and take an in-depth look at two specific issues – Devolution in the UK and Black America.
While the texts in the book concern the field of social studies, we would emphasise that Access to English: Social Studies is primarily designed to improve your English-language skills. For each text there is a wide range of tasks dealing with many aspects of language usage and inviting you to put your developing skills into practice, both orally and in writing. The particular skills required at examinations have been given special attention. In addition to these individual tasks, there is a four-part Writing Course at the back of the book aimed at helping you write different genres of text. The new fourth part deals specifically with exam tasks. On the website you will a Text Analysis Course aimed at helping you master the challenging art of writing about texts.

I purchased this board to build a hexapod. Are there any UART TX / RX pins to use when all of the servo pins are utilized? I want to use an HF-06 bluetooth module to remotely control it but I'm not sure where the TX/RX pins are on the board. Can someone help?
There is a link to the schematic on its shop page, if that helps. servo2040.sch (shopify.com)
Might be tough? I think you would have to give up servo 1, and possibly have to stop it from trying to configure those pins for servo use.
That throws a wrench into having a hexapod with 18 servos and being able to control it via bluetooth.
So, since I won't allow control of the board via bluetooth, is it possible to connect an NRF24L01 module to it via SPI and still have 18 servos connected?
If so, where are the MOSI, MISO, CSK, and CS pins located. For me, I'm not able to make any sense of that schematic. | eng | 2d85ea40-24c5-44ec-a2b3-0a9fc9afb21d | https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/servo2040-uart-tx-rx-pins/22943 |
Console Word List
A
API
In Backstage, an API describes an interface that can be exposed by a component. The API can be defined in different formats, like OpenAPI, AsyncAPI, GraphQL, gRPC, or other formats. An API is provided or consumed by other software components and is a separate entity. At times, an API may be consumed from an outside organization and is only accounted for via its documentation. Frequently, the Relationship in Backstage looks like this:
Component A provides API A which is consumed by Component B.
In the Console Catalog, an API refers to a functional portion of vets-api. For example, VA Notify API or Appeals API. Can also include external APIs, such as EVSS.
B
Backstage
Backstage.io is an open platform created by Spotify for building developer portals. The Console is built using the Backstage platform and infrastructure.
C
Catalog
The Console Catalog is similar to a library catalog, in that it provides a list of people, teams, apps, services, APIs, forms, and infrastructure resources. Through the Catalog, users can conceptualize and navigate the VA.gov ecosystem. The Catalog can connect to GitHub (and other code hosts) to display a page for every user, team, system, API, microservice, web app, form, or infrastructure resource.
CLI-tool
A component type in the Console Catalog. Refers to programs that are run via the command line (like vtk or the console-ui-onboarding tool).
Component
In the Console Catalog, a component is an entity that describes a software component. It is typically intimately linked to the source code that constitutes the component. A component should be what a developer may regard as a "unit of software", usually with a distinct deployable or linkable artifacts.
D
Domain
Backstage defines domain groups as a collection of systems that share terminology, domain models, business purpose, or documentation, i.e. form a bounded context.
In the Console Catalog, a domain refers to a collection of systems with a common purpose or context. For example, Platform entities are housed under a Platform domain.
E
Entity
The Platform Console's Catalog is similar to a library catalog, in that it provides a list of people, teams, apps, services, APIs, forms, and infrastructure resources. These resources are known as "entities" in Backstage (the platform the Console is built on).
F
Feature Flags
Features that can be enabled or disabled by users to change their Console experience. Found in User Settings.
G
Group
A GitHub team made up of GitHub users.
H
I
J
K
L
Library
A component type in the Console Catalog. Refers to collections of code that facilitate actions in the Console, like parsing files by type, interacting with an API, or building user-interfaces.
M
N
O
P
Plugin
An application through which features and functionality are exposed on the Console. For example, the Tech Docs plugin allows users to read documentation on the Console.
Q
R
Resource
In the Console Catalog, a resource refers to the infrastructure a system needs to operate, like BigTable databases, Pub/Sub topics, S3 buckets or CDS. Modeling them together with components and systems allows a user to visualize resource footprint and create tooling around them.
S
Service
A component type in the Console Catalog. Refers to a software functionality or set of functionalities (such as the retrieval of specified information or the execution of a set of operations) that users can reuse for different purposes.
Scorecards
A tab in a Catalog entry that shows how complete the Catalog entry is. It checks to see if the entity's page has a title, an owner, a link to technical documentation, and a GitHub annotation. Additional checks can include: checking if a repository is publicly visible, and scoring an entity on its compliance to VA best practices.
System
In the Console Catalog, refers to a collection of components or APIs with common purpose or context.
Software Template
In the Console Catalog, refers to a Catalog entry for a software template that is housed in the Console. Software templates are a tool in Backstage that allows for app scaffolding, file/component creation, and other automated actions to be taken by users directly from the Console.
T
Template
In the Console Catalog, template is a type of entity that can be used with the "Software Template" system. Backstage describes a template as defining both (1) the parameters that are rendered in the front end part of the scaffolding wizard and (2) the steps that are executed when scaffolding a component.
Tech Docs
The documentation viewer for technical documentation. Can be found on an entity page in the Console Catalog or via the Documentation tab in the left navigation.

Spondylosis
Share Article:
Spondylosis
What is spondylosis?
Spondylosis is a term used to describe degenerative changes of the spine or osteoarthritis 'wear and tear'.
Degenerative changes can occur around the following structures:
Facet joints
Between the vertebral bodies
Intervertebral foramen
intervertebral discs (degenerative disc disease)
Exiting the intervertebral foramen are the nerve roots. Therefore narrowing around the intervertebral foramen because of degenerative changes may cause compression of the nerve root. Bulges from the intervertebral disc or osteophytes from a degenerative facet joint can all reduce the space of the intervertebral foramen and cause radicular nerve root pain.
What causes spondylosis?
Degenerative changes occur over time. There can be lots of different causes. Previous injury, altered biomechanics, poor posture, abnormal loading/pressure can all cause degeneration.
The good news is you can do something about it and take measures to prevent it!
Prevention is better than the cure, so taking care of your spine is key to living a pain free, healthy life! However it is not too late to start looking after your spine if you have already developed degenerative changes. The spondylosis won't go away but your pain and symptoms can.
What can I do to treat spondylosis?
There are lots of things we would suggest to help ease the symptoms you are experiencing.
Pain relief medication. There is debate about the use of pain relieving medication and whether it actually does anything. I have met lots of people that take it either just because their doctor prescribed it or just because it makes them feel as though they are doing something to help. I am not a big lover of pain medication as I feel there are so many natural ways and longer term solutions to managing pain. For some people it works and others not so much. I usually let my patients make the decision but to also encourage people try other avenues such as exercise. Anti-inflammatory medication can be very useful for someone who is experiencing inflammatory pain, just to break that cycle of pain.
Exercise. My favourite treatment choice! Degenerative changes will result in reduced range of movement and stiffness. This can lead to further pain. Therefore the correct spine stretches that wont aggravate the pain can be extremely successful at improving range of movement and reducing pain. Strengthening the spine and postural muscles will help support the area, reduce pain and improve function. Clinical Pilates covers both bases! I have designed workouts specifically for spondylosis! Try a workout for free today!
Improve your posture! If you can align your spine correctly and reduce the pressure on the nerves you will gain instant relief. Try a posture improver workout
Acupuncture can also aid in pain relief but my advice would be to start exercising for long term relief and benefit! | eng | ace5c247-daca-4e36-9a5f-a0a054cc486b | https://www.yourpilatesphysio.com/blog/Spondylosis |
"Basically making comments about what ingredients I should/should not add and I try to take it under consideration but only if he's being reasonable."
"Lately he's been waiting for when I prepare dinner or lunch then sneaks in and adds extra salt/paper/spices/other ingredients that completely ruin the meal."
"First It was a mystery to me. Had me questioning myself—why I added too much salt or spices."
"He admitted he was the one adding extra ingredients and messing up my cooking. The meals are no longer edible."
"I've told him to not try to get involved in something he doesn't have experience with. I've basically been eating out for a week now because of him."
Then, they had guests.
"Last night we had my family visiting. I took the entire day preparing meals."
"He helped out by going to the grocery stores. I noticed he bought stuff from the grocery store that I wasn't allowed to see."
"I figured 'probably some snacks'."
"As we were about to eat dinner, my mom and dad suddenly looked grossed out and said they couldn't eat cause the food had so much salt in it. I was confused."
"I asked them to try another dish, which was too spicy for them to eat. My dad had an upset stomach and he almost threw up."
"He has high blood pressure and salt wasn't good for him. Mike kept acting confused."
"My mom and dad couldn't eat anything I made. I knew Mike had something to do with it."
OP figured out what happened.
"My parents left and I felt ashamed. I asked Mike then I blew up after he admitted he went behind my back to add ingredients that he thought were gonna make my food better."
"I lashed out at him."
"Told him he ruined my work after spending hours and made my parents feel uncomfortable. Adding too much salt KNOWING my dad has high blood pressure."
"He argued that he was just trying to help. And thought that food would be better so I shouldn't yell at him."
"And my parents didn't say anything so it wasn't that bad. I told him he shouldn't have done this but he refused to acknowledge he did anything wrong."
"Then he went out to meet his friends for dinner."Most Redditors agreed OP was not the a**hole.
"I just can't get why you wouldn't just season your own portion then. I like a little more salt and pepper than my mother but I'll only add it to my portion."
"Only when cooking myself is when I add extra ingredients or spices that only I like. If he can't taste it he can season his own portion or cook himself something." ~ thimo50
"I think this is definitely an issue of control. He's either bad at cooking, or he pretends to be to get out of having to do it, and the sneaking around and the insisting that 'it's better' when he graces the food with his magic touch is probably either."
"A) done out of feeling inadequate/outdone and needing to make his wife less confident in her own cooking skills."
"B) simply a method of control, as well as a way to provoke her and convince her that she's crazy."
"Or both."
"I guess there's an unlikely 'C', being that he just has no self awareness and is overconfident in his abilities, but the sneaking behind her back and adding so much that it's literally inedible and a health hazard just cannot be accidental."
"He tried to hide what he was doing, continued doing it after his wife asked him to stop, continued to do it even when his wife couldn't eat the food and had to order in for a week."
"Then he did it again to a meal for her parents, acted like he had no idea why it was so bad in front of her parents when they couldn't eat it, and then insisted that he was right and that he was making the food better and then tried to convince OP that her parents liked it even though they almost threw up eating it. What the f*ck?" ~ whatevercuck
"Oh you mean the controlling abusive a**hole disorder that is common in cops?" ~ SnooLobsters5452
"Oh you mean the domestic/interpersonal abuse/violence that is present in 40% of police? (but you know this number is bigger because we not counting the partners too frightened to report or those who… ya know… DIED). OP NTA and RUN, GIRL!" ~ glitterally_awake
Many were wondering if he might have the virus behind the pandemic.
"My first thought was he had the pandemic virus and can't taste now. I had it a year ago and still can't taste garlic."
"I hate to admit it but I ruined a few dishes with WAY too much garlic before I realized." ~ mel122676
Bottom line, if he likes salt that much, he needs to add it to his own plate. | eng | d9c2c2e0-df66-4a74-b00e-7736bb0bc30c | https://percolately.com/husband-ruins-meal-adding-ingredients/ |
What Happens When A Tick Bites A Human
What Happens When A Tick Bites A Human – Ticks are small spider-like creatures that feed on the blood of birds and mammals. including people There are different sizes. They are usually between 1 mm and 1 cm long, with 6 or 8 legs.
Ticks feed on many mammals and birds. These include squirrels, lambs and garden birds, meaning they are often found in areas where animals such as:

The marking period is usually between March and October. but maybe longer Due to the wet weather and warm temperatures, ticks can behave for longer periods of the year.
What To Do When You Have A Tick Bite
However, ticks are something we have to remember all year round. Due to other symptoms of a tick bite include swelling. It may take 2 to 3 months to grow.
The bite is usually painless and can sometimes cause only a red lump at the site of the bite. However, in some cases it may cause:
In Scotland, the most common tick-borne disease is Lyme disease. They also carry other diseases but they mostly attack animals.
In some parts of the world, ticks can spread diseases, some of which can cause serious diseases in humans and animals.
What To Know To Keep Yourself Safe From Tick Illnesses As Lyme Cases Double
If you are bitten by a tick You should try to remove them as soon as possible to reduce the risk of contracting tick-borne diseases, such as Lyme disease. This is a bacterial infection that causes a circular pink or red rash around the tick. bitten area
If you suspect you've been bitten by a tick Read our self-help guide to check your symptoms and see what to do next.
Do not use the tip of a lit cigarette, a match head, or substances such as alcohol or petroleum jelly to force the breaker to go off.
Some vets and pet stores sell cheap tick removal products. This can be helpful if you tend to spend time in areas that are prone to ticks.
A Tick Bite That Causes A Meat Allergy
If part of the tick's mouth is broken in the skin and cannot be removed This may cause local irritation, but it should come naturally.
Look wherever the tick has bitten. There is no need to see a doctor if you are bitten and have no symptoms. However, if you develop a rash or flu-like symptoms after being bitten. you should see a doctor
A small percentage of ticks carry the bacteria that cause Lyme disease. Being bitten does not mean you will become infected, however, it is important to be aware of the risks and talk to your doctor if you start to feel unwell. It is important to follow simple instructions. This is where you encounter ticks. whether you're stuck or not After months of isolation and forced closure, Without a doubt, you're now happily heading out for fresh air, exercise and fun. But you also need to protect yourself from the nasty, blood-sucking ticks that are spreading rapidly throughout the United States. Every year there is an increase in Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases, many of them. It is difficult to diagnose and treat. Currently, the only way to prevent infection is to avoid tick bites. According to a recent study by the Global Lyme Alliance, 93 percent worry about being bitten outside. This assumes that you have followed the recommended steps to prevent tick bites. But the tick is on your skin… what should you do? If you find a tick crawling on you… If you find a tick crawling on your skin and you haven't bitten yet. There is little or no risk of getting sick. Ticks can only transmit the virus while they are infected and feeding. If you find a reptile Do not touch it with your hands! You should avoid touching its mouth and do not come into contact with the tick's saliva, which can make you sick. See "What to do about ticks" below. It is possible that another tick is crawling on your body looking for a place to eat. Or maybe someone tied your clothes or your pet if you have one. So if you come in from outside, you should wash as soon as possible. This will clear all unattached ticks and give you a chance to check every tick thoroughly. while checking Pay special attention to warm and moist places where ticks like to hide: groin, navel, armpits, between toes, waist, near hairline, behind ears and knees Global Lyme Alliance Education and Outreach recommends. using a spot roller with masking tape immediately after outdoor activities to remove ticks before they attach. Roll it over your clothes, legs, and arms, just as you would when removing a line or pet hair. "Rollers do a good job of catching tick larvae. "This is a quick way to reduce the risk of tick bites." Then wash and check for ticks as described earlier. If you find a tick on your body… We know that getting ticks on your body can be scary. but please do not panic It is important to remove ticks properly as soon as you find them. If it sticks for a long time, it is more likely to transmit Lyme disease. (Research shows that some diseases Although there are many home remedies on how to get rid of ticks, From applying nail polish or petroleum jelly to burning them with matches. Ignore all these methods. These methods can cause the tick to move and release body fluids from your skin. This increases risk of spreading the disease. Tick removal Use sharp tweezers or a special tick removal tool, such as TickEase or TickKey, to grasp the tick as close to your skin as possible. and pull with steady, slow, firm pressure to remove ticks. You may need to pull hard . You need to hold on tight because ticks are small and small ticks can be as small as a poppy seed. Do not twist or pick at the tick. This can cause it to move and may cause the mouthparts to break off and stick to the skin. Pull it slowly upwards and straight until the entire tick is removed a (body and head). Try to remove it with clean tweezers. Disinfect the area where the tick is attached. Wash your face (and your hands) with a hand sanitizer such as rubbing alcohol. Don't worry if you can't really get it off your skin. It will keep the twins separate as a split. Marker testing Send the marker to the lab for testing. It is important to know what diseases ticks carry. Check the bite area. Take a picture of the bite site as soon as possible. Draw a circle around the bite to track how the rash grows and spreads. Please note that you may not see the rash or the rash may appear on other parts of the body. In addition, it may not be in the classic bulls-eye pattern. Contact your doctor. We recommend that you see your doctor immediately to discuss the prophylactic use of antibiotics as a preventative measure Write down the symptoms you feel after being bitten or use the Lyme Symptom Tracker app to track symptoms. Any change could indicate a reaction to tick-borne pathogens. As soon as you experience any symptoms, call or see your doctor immediately. trust your symptoms Current diagnostic tests are not accurate. Your symptoms may indicate Lyme disease. What to do with ticks… Place ticks in a zip-top plastic bag or sealed container with wet cotton or paper towels. We recommend that you send the ticks to your local health department or lab to be tested for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases. If you choose not to send the tag to the lab, the CDC recommends wrapping it tightly with tape before disposing of it in the trash. It is useful to take pictures of ticks and note the release date. And different types of ticks can spread many types of diseases. What if you have never seen a tick or rash? But suspect you have Lyme disease… Many people who have Lyme disease don't even know they've been bitten by a tick. One of the first symptoms of Lyme may be an illness similar to the summer flu. Symptoms include chills and fever, headache, neck stiffness, muscle and joint pain. This may/may not be a circular rash which is the first known symptom.

As professors of English who study linguistic variations, we know that how fast a person speaks is a complicated phenomenon. It depends on a range of factors, including the types of words used, the language spoken, regional differences, social variables, and professional needs.
Different countries, different speeds
Speech rate refers to the speed at which a speaker verbalizes "connected discourse" – essentially anything more than a sentence. It is measured by counting segments of sound and the pauses in a specific time frame. Typically, these segments are counted as syllables. Remember clapping syllables in elementary school? SYL-LA-BLES.
Linguists have discovered that humans vary their speech rate within sentences across all languages. For example, most people slow their speech down before saying nouns. Researchers have also found that languages have different speech rates when speakers read aloud. French, Spanish, and Japanese were shown to have high average speech rates – with close to eight syllables spoken per second. German, Vietnamese, and Mandarin exhibited slower rates – with about five syllables per second. English was in the middle, with an average rate of 6.19 syllables per second.
There is also global variation within the dialects of a language. In English, for example, one study found that New Zealanders spoke the fastest, followed by British English speakers, then Americans, and finally, Australians.
Stereotypes don't hold up
Many people have expectations and assumptions about different speech rates within English dialects. For example, there's the often-observed "drawl" of those living in the U.S. South. The term drawl denotes a slower, drawn-out speaking pace. And, indeed, some research supports this perception. One study found that participants in western North Carolina spoke more slowly than participants in Wisconsin.
Other research has demonstrated that some Southerners may speak more slowly only in certain contexts – for example, they may pause more often when reading aloud. And certain elongated vowels in southern American dialects can also slow down the speech rate. This can be heard in the pronunciation of "nice" as something like "nahhce."
Some people assume that all Southerners are slow talkers who exhibit these features. This is perhaps due, at least in part, to the perpetuation of stereotypes and caricatures in popular media, such as Cletus, the stereotyped hillbilly from "The Simpsons."
But it's important to recognize that language also varies within regions, including the U.S. South. For example, a study involving North Carolinians found that speakers in western and central North Carolina spoke more slowly than those in the state's eastern and southern parts. And some North Carolinians spoke about as fast as Ohioans – suggesting the stereotype of the slow-talking Southerner doesn't always hold up.
Age, gender and other variables
Sex and gender may also influence speech rates, although results have been conflicting here, too. Some research shows that men speak faster than women, while other studies find no significant difference in speech rate between genders.
The demographic variable that seems to have the most significant and consistent impact is age. We speak slowly when we are children, speed up in adolescence and speak our fastest in our 40s. Then we slow down again as we reach our 50s and 60s.
While geography, gender, and age may affect speech rates in certain cases, context plays a role as well. For example, certain professions use oral formulaic traditions, meaning there's a framework script when performing those jobs. An average person can speak about as fast as an auctioneer – 5.3 syllables per second – when saying something they've said many times before.
However, auctioneers use certain patterns of speech that make it seem like they speak incredibly quickly. They have few pauses in speech and repeat the same words frequently. They also use unfamiliar phrasings and rhythms, which makes listeners have to process what was said long after the auctioneer has moved on to the next topic. And auctioneers have a constant rate of articulation – meaning they rarely stop talking.
While recognizing differences in speech rates can help people to better understand linguistic, cultural, and professional identities, it also has technological and other applications. Think of how computer scientists must program Alexa and Siri to both produce and recognize speech at different rates. Speaking more slowly can also improve listening comprehension for beginner and intermediate language learners.
Perhaps the most valuable takeaway when considering speech rate variation is the fact that linguistic perceptions don't always match up with reality. This is a perspective we often emphasize in our own work because linguistic stereotypes can lead to assumptions about a person's background.
Recent studies of perceptions of U.S. dialects confirm that, despite variation in speech rates within regions, people persist in labeling large regions of the South as "slow" and the North and Midwest as "fast." Moreover, these evaluations are also typically associated with negative stereotypes. Slow talkers are often assumed to be less intelligent or competent than fast talkers, while very fast talkers can be seen as less truthful or kindhearted.
There is no inherent connection between the rate of speech and levels of intelligence, truthfulness, or kindness. Language use differs for all sorts of reasons, and differences are not deficiencies.
