Transfer (public transit)
A transfer allows the rider of a public transportation vehicle who pays for a single-trip fare to continue the trip on another bus or train. Depending on the network, there may or may not be an additional fee for the transfer. Historically, transfers may have been stamped or hole-punched with the time, date, and direction of travel to prevent their use for a return trip. More recently, magnetic or barcoded tickets may be recorded (as on international flights) or ticket barriers may only charge on entry and exit to a larger system (as on modern underground rail networks).
Some public transport companies may honor transfers purchased from another company with connecting service.

NBN Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) Fibre to the Premises (FTTP)?
Let's start with the obvious: FTTP is a type of internet connection. It uses fibre-optic cables to connect your home directly to the NBN network.1 This direct connection is also part of what makes FTTP so fast—in fact, it's currently considered the fastest and most efficient connection type in Australia, faster than both fibre-to-the-node and fibre-to-the-curb.2 (We'll explain what all this jargon means shortly!)
How fast is FTTP?
Okay, so we've mentioned that FTTP is fast, but we haven't explained just how fast it is.
FTTP internet connections can reach maximum download speeds that are just under 1000Mbps (megabits per second).3 For some people, that might sound like a bunch of techno-babble but trust us—it's fast. Based on the average download rate for very high-speed internet services, it wouldn't take long to pull through any of the large files below:
Activity
Estimated File Size
Estimated Download Time4
Adobe Photoshop (32-bit)
1.26 GB5
12.78 Seconds
2-Hour 4K Movie (Netflix)
14 GB6
2 minutes 22 seconds
Forza Horizon 5
110 GB7
18 minutes and 36 seconds
Now, keep in mind this will also depend on the type of internet plan you have with your provider. FTTP and Hybrid Fibre Coaxial (HFC) are among the only connections that can handle NBN1000 plans, which deliver an average speed of 788.6Mbps.8
On plans that exist on a lower 'speed tier'—anywhere from NBN12 to NBN500—an FTTP connection won't hit nearly the same download rates. However, they still deliver consistently higher speeds on these plans than any other type of connection.9
How does FTTP work?
Another big reason why FTTP is so efficient is that it only uses fibre-optic cables.
The NBN network uses these cables to deliver high-speed internet, but not every home has the same, direct connection that FTTP uses. For other connection types, the fibre network generally runs to a local hub where it's delivered to individual customers via a slower, existing medium, like copper. Unlike fibre optic, copper can negatively affect the internet speed you receive, depending on how far your house is from the hub.
Remember, an FTTP line connects your home or business directly to the NBN network through a fibre optic cable. Because fibre optic cables make up the backbone of the NBN, FTTP connections can more consistently deliver high-speed internet.
How does FTTP differ from other NBN connections?
FTTP is only one type of NBN connection and Australia actually uses a range of different connection types and technologies in their broadband network.10 This approach to getting Aussies connected is known as the 'Multi Technology Mix'. Like FTTP, there are a variety of 'fixed line' internet connections that use cables to connect people to the NBN network. These include:
On top of 'fixed line' connections, there is also Fixed Wireless NBN. This is particularly handy for remote homes which may not be close to any fibre supply. NBN's 'Sky Muster' satellite service can also provide internet to remote or regional homes, though it won't provide anything close to the max speeds that FTTP can reach.11 FTTP is different to all other methods as it is the only one which carries the network directly to your premises along the fibre cable.
Who can access FTTP?
Currently, at least 2 million homes and businesses have access or can upgrade their existing broadband connections to FTTP.12 Given how many people live in Australia, that might not seem like such a big number. However, a rollout of full fibre internet is also underway, and selected homes and businesses currently on an FTTC network will be able to upgrade to FTTP.13
The endgame here is to ensure up to 90% of Australian homes and businesses will have access to high-speed internet through FTTP or other connection types.14
What equipment do I need?
FTTP may require in-home cabling, an NBN utility box to be installed outside your home or business, an NBN connection box (outside or inside) and a power supply unit (inside).15
These are provided as part of the NBN rollout. The only equipment you'll need to supply is a wireless router that plugs into the NBN connection box via an ethernet cable. However, if you're in a new building or development – you may need to pay a flat fee of $300 to connect to the NBN.16 Each connection box has two UNI-V phone ports, allowing you to connect your existing phone and keep your existing phone number.
Because the connection box draws on 240V power, you won't be able to use the phone during a power outage. However, there is one exception: if you have battery backup and a correctly connected corded phone; a battery backup could keep the phone line active for up to five hours.17
How can I upgrade to FTTP?
First things first. You'll want to check whether your address is eligible for an FTTP connection or upgrade. You can do this through the comparison service that we provide with our partners at CIMET.* Or you can head over to the NBN Co website and enter your address there.18
From there, you'll need to speak with your existing internet provider; or, if you're changing, your new internet provider. You might be eligible for the FTTP upgrade if you're switching to (or if you already have) one of the following plans:19,20
Home Ultrafast
Home Superfast
Home Fast
These plans correspond with speed tiers ranging from NBN100 to NBN1000.21,22,23 However, before committing to anything, you'll want to check with your provider and make sure that your plan of choice comes with the FTTP upgrade.
The provider will also outline what kind of costs might be involved in the installation.24 They will also help manage the installation process for you and organise an appointment for a technician to set up the FTTP connection at your home or business.25
How do I compare internet plans?
We've got some good news. If you're looking for an NBN plan that suits your budget and lifestyle, iSelect and CIMET can help. With us, you can start comparing NBN plans from a range of plans and providers today.* Even better? Most of our providers participate in the FTTP upgrade initiative.26 How's that for extra value!

Building Peace by Formalizing Gold Mining in the Central SahelAs in many parts of the world, ASGM is an age-old tradition in this Sahelian nation. History relates that Mansa Musa, the King of the ancient Malian empire, famously gave away so much gold in the 14th century that it caused severe inflation in Egypt and parts of the Middle East for years to come.
The challenges that Malians face today are numerous. In addition to two successive coups d'états in 2020 and 2021, the nation also faces rapidly expanding terrorist activity, a doubling of the population since the year 2000 to 22 million people, and the severe consequences of climate change. Yet gold—and ASGM—still provide Malians with a viable livelihood. This is especially true for women and youth, who also play important roles in local peacebuilding efforts.
Looming Threats
Artisanal and small-scale gold mining is a mostly informal activity, and one does not have to look further than neighboring countries to appreciate how the sector can be exploited by non-state armed groups, including terrorist organizations.
In both Burkina Faso and Niger, terrorist organizations are reported to benefit both directly and indirectly from the gold trade. After terrorist activity spilled over from Mali in 2018, this activity expanded rapidly.Strategies used by these groups range from directly controlling mine sites to ambushing and extorting revenue from both artisanal and industrial miners.
Though Mali was the original source of the region's terrorist activity, it is fortunate that non-state armed groups' involvement in gold production and trade there has been relatively limited in comparison. But why? Tracking the overlap between ASGM sites with security incidents (as shown on the map below) reveals that most of Mali's gold is found in the southwestern part of the country, where armed groups have historically been less active.
Nevertheless, roughly two-thirds of the country's territory is beyond state control. Thus, it is hard for the government of Mali to control informal gold supply chains—a state of affairs that risks their capture by armed groups. The northeastern region of Kidal underscores this risk.
According to the UN Group of Experts on Mali, the Coordination des Mouvements de l'Azawad (an umbrella organization for non-state armed groups that signed the 2015 Algiers Peace Agreement) and Jama'a Nusrat ul-Islam wa al-Muslimin (a similar coalition of al-Qaeda-aligned groups) control access to gold sites in Kidal and ensure miners' safety in exchange for financial payments. Any continued spread of extremist activity toward the southwest of the country would therefore risk the capture of many more gold supply chains by non-state armed groups unless they were preemptively secured.
A Regional Gold Trade Hub
Unfortunately, Mali's gold supply chains are a far cry from being secured. This is evidenced in a forthcoming policy paper by Pact and the Malian Ministry of Mines, Energy and Water which identifies obstacles and provides recommendations for responsible gold trading in Mali. National stakeholders, including the government, private sector, and civil society validated the report—which demonstrates that Mali is becoming a major hub for smuggling West African gold to the United Arab Emirates (UAE)—at a workshop in Bamako in March 2023.
A comparison of export data for artisanal gold obtained from Malian authorities with publicly available import trade data for the UAE (obtained from UN Comtrade) reveals that 22,842 kilograms of artisanal gold were exported from Mali to the UAE in 2021, as compared to 174,296 kilograms of gold imported into the UAE. Since no industrially produced gold in Mali is known to be imported into the UAE for refining, it can be inferred that all the gold imported into the UAE originates from artisanal mines.
The declared artisanal gold legally exported from Mali in 2021 thus constitutes only 13 percent of the gold originating from Mali that was imported into the UAE. This suggests that the remaining 87 percent—151,454 kilograms of gold worth $6.36 billion—is being smuggled from Mali to the UAE.
Additionally, the UAE import data for Mali greatly exceeds that nation's total national ASGM gold production figures (estimated at 26 to 50 tons per annum). This helps confirm other reports that artisanal gold from neighboring countries is trafficked through Bamako's international airport to Dubai's free trade zone.
The scale of this informality in the gold trade further underscores the risk posed by non-state armed groups in Mali. They could capture more ASGM supply chains if they continue to expand toward southwestern Mali and into the wider Sahel and coastal West Africa regions, which host significant ASGM activity.
This is one key argument in favor of a different solution: formalization. The value of the informal shipments detailed above is equivalent to 33 percent of Mali's $19 billion GDP in 2021. If the ASGM gold trade was formalized, its government might generate considerable revenue through export taxes, and tap into the sector's full peace benefits.
Untapped Peacebuilding Benefits of Formalization
Fortunately, much can be done to help prevent such a situation from materializing. Reinforcing security around known ASGM sites and gold trading routes in proximity to non-state armed groups would be a start.
How would that happen? Pact's policy paper puts forth some key formalization steps identified by Malian stakeholders, including providing legal access for ASGM miners to gold-rich land and addressing regulatory loopholes that facilitate gold smuggling. It also recommends revising institutional roles and responsibilities to ensure greater accountability in gold trade regulation, as well as increased collaboration between regional policymakers and the UAE government.
Yet the most important proposal may be to build capacity for both miners and gold traders to enablethem to comply with national laws and regulations. Accomplishing this may eventually allow the adoption of international standards aimed at 'delinking' the sector from armed conflict and transnational crime.
Besides curbing the deteriorating security situation in Mali and the broader (central) Sahel and West African regions, such steps can also yield important peacebuilding benefits.
Former Tuareg fighters operating in Mali's Kidal region offer one case study. During the region's 2018 gold rush, many of them dropped their arms to earn a living in the region's ASGM mines, as they provided viable income, and until this date, ASGM remains the region's main economic activity, providing livelihoods for an estimated 80 percent of the working population. Ex-combatants in places as diverse as the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and Sierra Leone have equally been documented to have left behind their criminal activities to engage in ASM, even when the sector remains largely informal and unsupported.
Substantive research on the issue confirms that formalizing ASGM in a holistic manner can leverage the sector's full sustainable development and peacebuilding potential at multiple levels of governance. At the local level, formalization efforts that enable miners to professionalize their livelihoods to the benefit of their families and communities can facilitate ex-combatants' reintegration into society. They can also promote social cohesion and provide marginalized youth with meaningful future prospects that can help prevent their recruitment into non-state armed groups.
At the national and regional levels, formalization can help curb transnational crime, generate government revenues, and provide broader socio-economic stability. Its global effects promise a better implementation of existing bilateral and multilateral strategies that prioritize preventative approaches to conflict resolution and peacebuilding. Indeed, formalizing ASGM can address the root causes of violent conflict and align with measures such as the US Global Fragility Act or the UN Secretary General's Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism.
The evidence is clear. It is time for the full peacebuilding benefits of ASGM formalization to be recognized. Next, formalization must be integrated into national, regional, and global peace and security frameworks—and especially into programs targeting fragile regions such as the Central Sahel.

Use IRA to offset Tax Bill
In the last few months, one hit that has directed a lot of people to this blog is the query "use IRA or 401(k) contribution to offset or lower tax bill?"
And enough people have made this query to warrant a a more thorough discussion of it.
How do you lower your tax bill by contributing to an IRA? The concept is simple, but you have to contribute a lot to your IRA or 401(k) in comparison to your tax bill.
Note: Talk to your tax adviser for specific advice. As I noted in a previous posting, you can simulate the effects of an IRA or 401(k) contribution on your taxes by using Turbotax online. I highly recommend TurboTax online, just for this reason.
So how can you lower your tax bill by contributing to a tax-deferred savings plan? Well, the idea is something called "salary reduction".
In effect, when you contribute to an IRA, a 401(k), or SEP plan, TSP, SIMPLE IRA or other tax-deferred plan (which does NOT include a Roth IRA, by the way) you are effectively reducing your salary by that amount.
And the benefit to you will depend on which marginal tax bracket your are in. If you are in the 15% bracket, this isn't going to save you a lot of money - unless you contribute a lot.
So, for example, suppose you owe the IRS $1000 in taxes and you are in the 25% marginal rate bracket. You could write a check to the IRS for $1000 and call it a day. Or, you could contribute $4000 to your IRA for this taxable year, and end up owing the IRS nothing.
Pay the IRS $1000 or pay your IRA $4000. For many of us, it is a simple choice - unless we don't have $4000 laying around.
And this example illustrates the advantage of tax-deferred plans - you get an effective "gain" of 25% (or whatever your marginal rate is) almost right away.
There are, of course, some caveats, which is why I say "consult your tax adviser" for more details:
1. There are limits on how much you can contribute to these plans - total amounts and/or percentage of income. For an IRA, for example, the limit is $5000 unless you are over 50, in which case it is $6000. And these limits change from year to year. Consult your tax adviser.
2. There are deadlines for contributions. Generally, you can contribute to a plan before April 15th, and designate the money for the previous tax year. Consult your tax adviser for more details.
3. There are more esoteric limits, such as phase-outs, in case you are covered by a retirement plan at work - which may limit your ability to contribute.
4. Again, it all depends on your marginal rate. If you are in the 15% bracket and owe the IRS $1000 you'd have to put in $6,666 to offset this tax bill - and that is $666 more than the over-50 limit for an IRA. And bear in mind that such contributions may push you into a lower bracket as well, making the savings less effective.
5. Tax-deferred accounts have severe tax penalties for early withdrawal, so don't contribute money you might need in the next few years into your tax-deferred savings.
But overall, this is a good strategy for lowering your taxes. If you have $5000 sitting around invested in after-tax investments, it makes more sense to transfer that money to a pre-tax investment and lower your tax bill. The net effect is to take money from one pocket and put it in the other, at little or no cost to you, but at a large cost to Uncle Sam. | eng | 4f67e60e-fb5b-4934-aafd-e00271eab890 | https://livingstingy.blogspot.com/2011/04/use-ira-to-offset-tax-bill.html?m=0 |
"Start writhing ,no matter what.The water does not glow until the faucet is turned on"
Transgender the Indian language appears to be derived from the Persian word his,i. e.,someone who is effeminate and/or ineffective or incompetent .Another commonly used word is kinnar ,whereas chhakka is used in a derogatory context .Though most of the eunuchs seen today are begging at traffic signals or during weddings ,they were a respected lot during the Mughal rule in the Medieval India .The word eunuch is derived from the Greek word Euneukhos which literally means bed chamber attendant .Hence ,they were put in charge of harems due to their emasculation .During the British rule,they were denied civil rights and we're considered a separate caste or tribe who did kidnapping and casyration of children and danced and dressed -like women.
The LGBTQ group is referred to as the lesbian,gay,bisexual ,Transgender ,and queer community which includes those with gender dysphoria and different sexual orientation .The lesbian and gay people have been accepted in many parts of the world and have also got their rights ,but the Transgender is still without rights.
Case
National Legal Services Authority V.Union Of India is a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of India ,which declared Transgender people to be a third gender affirmed that the fundamental rights granted under the Constitution of India will be equally applicable to Transgender people ,and gave them the right to self -identification of their gender as male,female or third -gender .Transgender people were treated as socially and economically backward classes,they will be granted reservation in admission to education institution and jobs.
Medical Lexicon
The following definition help in understanding the various gender -related terminologies :-
Assigned gender-refers to a person's initial assignment as male or female at birth .It is based in the child's genitalua and other visible physical sex characteristics.
Agendered-without gender ,individual identifgung as having no gender identity .
Cisgender -describes individual whose gender identity or expression aligns with the sex assigned to them at birth.
Closeted -describes an LGBTQ person who has not disclosed their sexual orientation or gender identity .
Coming out-The process in which a person first acknowledge ,accepts ,and appreciates his or her sexual orientation or gender identity and begins to share that with others.
Gender-denotes the public lived role as boy or girl ,man or woman.Biological factors combined with social and psychological factors contribute to gender development.
Gender-atypical-refers to physical features or behaviors that are not typical of individuals gender expression the manner in which a person communicates about gender to others through external means such as clothing , appearance ,or mannerisms .This communication may be conscious or subconscious and may not reflect their gender identity or sexual orientation.
Gender-nonconforming -refers to behaviours that are not typical of individuals with the same assigned gender in a given society.
Gender reassignment-denotes an official change of gender
Different countries view
The president of Argentinean,Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner ,signed into law the cpuntry's gender identity bill,establishing Argentina as the most transfriendly legal environment in the entire world.Trans people will be able to change their legal gender and name without Judicial permission or any requirement that they undergo surgeries.
United Kingdom
Transgender rights in the UK had been gaining ground since the 1990s,with the granting of rights and protection to the Transgender community. The legal case of Corbett V.Corbett heard in November and December 1969 with a February decision ,set a legal precedent regarding the statues of Transsexual people in the UK .Justice Penrod's decision ,the marriage was deemed void,and an unofficial correction of birth certificate for Transsexual and intersex people ceased.
In the 1980s and 1990s,the pressure group press for change ,campaigned in support for Transgender and Transsexual people to be allowed to marry,and helped take several cases to the European Court of human Rights .In Rees V.UK the court decided that the UK was not violating any human rights.
America
The SC decision in Obergefell V Hodges established that equal protection requires all jurisdictions to recognize same sex marriage ,giving Transgender people the right to marry regardless of whether their partners are legally considered to be same sex or opposite sex.Ruled that people have a right to marry without regard to sex.
India
The Transgender persons Bill 2016
The ball defines a Transgender person as one who is partly female or male or a combination of female or male or neither female or male .The person's gender must not match the gender assigned at birth and includes trnas-men ,trnas-men ,persons with intersex variations and gender -querrs.A Transgender person must obtain a certificate of identity as proof of recognition of identity as a Transgender person and to invoke rights under the bill.The bill prohibits discrimination against a Transgender person in areas such as education , employment ,and healthcare .It directs the central and state governments to provide welfare schemes in these areas.Offences such as compelling a Transgender person to beg,denial of access to a public place , physical and sexual abuse ,etc would attract up to 2years imprisonment and a fine.
Thus the first and foremost rights that they are deserving of is the right to Equality under Article 14.Article 15 speaks about prohibition if discrimination on the ground of religion ,race ,caste,sex or place of birth.Article 21 ensures right to privacy and personal liberty to all the citizens.Article 23 prohibits trafficking in human beings as beggars and other similar forms of forced labor and any contravention of these provisions shall be an offence punishable in accordance with law.
Problems faced by Transgender
The main problems that they are being faced by the Transgender community are of discrimination , unemployment,lack of education facilities ,homelessness ,lack of medical facilities,like HIV care and hygiene ,depression ,hormone pill abuse,tobacvo,and alcohol abuse,penectomy,and problems related to marriage and adoption.In 1994 ,they got the voting rights but the task of issuing them voter identity card got caught up in tha male or female question.Several of them were denied cards with sexual category of their choice .Transgender have very limited employment opportunity . Transgender have no access to bathrooms/toilets and public spaces .Forced sex is 46%,physical abuse is 44%,verbal abuse is 56%,blackmail for money is 31%,and treat to life is 24%.
Reforms needed to improve situation
Legal measures
Every person must have right to decide their gender expression and identity , including Transsexual , Transgender,transvestites,and hijars.They should also have the right to freely express their gender identity.
There should be a special legal protection against civil Soviet which is very akin to the offence of practing untouchability.
Civil rights under law such as the right to get a passport ,ration card ,make a will ,inherit property and adopt children must be available to all regardless of change in gender /sex identities.
Gender dysphoria -as a general descriptive term refers to an s discontent with the assigned gender .It is more specifically defined when used as diagnosis.
Gender expansiveness-cobvey a wider ,more flexible ranger of gender identity and or expression than typically associated with the binary gender system.
Gender fluidity -a person who does not identity with a single fixed gender ,of a relating to a person having or expression a fluid or unfixed gender identity.
Gender queer-gender queer people typically reject notions of static categories of gender and embrace a fluidity of gender identity and often ,though not always sexual orientation.Peopel who identify as gender queer may see themselves as being both male and female ,neither male or female or as falling completely outside these categories.
Transsexual -refers to an individual who seeks ,or has undergone ,a social transition from a male to female or female to malet.
The government of India today has taken a stance and introduced several welfare policies and schemes for the Transgender which would be a big step forward.These include census ,documentation ,issuing of Citizenship I'd cards,issuing passport along with social ,economic ,political tranformation ,housing ,legal measures ,police Reforms ,legal Constitution allows safeguards to prevent human rights violtion of the Transgender community and institutional mechanism to address specific concerns of Transgender people | eng | 2b24b0a2-3129-4395-87f8-6fa7f8130cae | https://aishwaryasandeep.com/2022/06/23/evolution-of-transgender-laws-in-india-and-comparative-analysis-with-others-countries-of-world/ |

What runs in the family isnt success
Socialist Don Conley , also a director of the Center for Advanced Social Science at New York University has come out with some startling findings in his new book - "The Pecking Order: Which Siblings Succeed and Why".
Findings which will generate more debate and interest (and can also affect family planning) : -
- differences between families explain only 25 percent of the nation's income inequality; the remaining 75 percent is explained by differences between siblings
- middle offspring are less likely to receive financial support for their education and may do less well in school than their older and younger siblings. Unlike typical first- and last-borns, he reasons, middle children never experience family life as an only child; instead, they are forced to compete with their siblings for money and attention.
- women are more likely to be as successful as their brothers if their mothers worked outside the home
NYT article on this refers to previous work on the lines of Birth Order theory. Frank J. Sulloway, a historian of science, published the controversial best seller "Born to Rebel: Birth Order, Family Dynamics and Creative Lives" (Pantheon, 1996). Book purported to show the Darwinian logic by which firstborns grow up to be rule-abiding conformists and political leaders, while later-borns become rebellious innovators and revolutionaries.

(Derivatives of polynomials can be defined purely formally over any field without using the concept of limits and Taylor expansion works for polyno- mials over any field.) n X ∂f Thus f(P +tv) has a stationary point at t = 0 if and only if vj = 0. ∂x P j=1 j n ∂f ∂f ∂f X ∂f By using the gradient ∇f = , , ··· , , the condition vj = ∂x ∂x ∂x ∂x P 1 2 n j=1 j 0 can be re-written as (∇f)P .v = 0.
Definition. Let V ⊆ An(K) be an affine algebraic variety and let P ∈ V .A line ` given in parametric form as {P + tv | t ∈ K},(v ∈ Kn \{0}), is said to be tangent to V at P if and only if (∇f)P .v = 0 for every f ∈ I(V ).
Definition. The tangent space to V at P , denoted by TP V is the union of the tangent lines to V at P and the point P .
At P = (1, 1), JP = (−3 2), therefore the line {P + tv | t ∈ C} is tangent to V at (1, 1) if and only if −3v1 + 2v2 = 0. Hence T(1,1)V is the line of slope 3/2 through P with equation y = 3x/2 − 1/2. It agrees with the tangent line obtained by, for example, implicit differentiation.
At Q = (0, 0), however, something strange happens. JQ = (0, 0), therefore 2 every line through (0, 0) is a tangent line and T(0,0)V = A ! Let v = (α, β) 6= (0, 0) be the direction vector of a line through Q = (0, 0). Then Q + tv = (tα, tβ) and if we substitute x = tα, y = tβ into y2 − x3 we obtain t2β2 − t3α3 = t2(β2 − tα3), which has a zero of multiplicity at least 2 at t = 0, so any line through (0, 0) is a tangent line by our definition. If β = 0, then t2(β2 − tα3) has a zero of multiplicity 3 at t = 0, so the line y = 0 has a higher order tangency to the curve than a general line through (0, 0).
Proposition–Definition 3.2 Let V ⊆ An be an irreducible affine algebraic variety. If V 6= ∅, there exists a proper subvariety Z of V (Z 6= V , but Z may be ∅) and an integer d ≥ 0 such that dim TP V = d for every P ∈ V \ Z and dim TP V > d for P ∈ Z. (In other words, dim TP V is constant on a non- empty Zariski open subset of V .) The dimension of V , denoted by dim V , is defined to be d. The points of V \Z, where dim TP V = dim V , are called non- singular, while the points of Z, where dim TP V > dim V , are called singular and the set of singular points of V is denoted by Sing V . (Sometimes it is convenient to define dim ∅ = −1 and Sing ∅ = ∅.)
Proof. Let Vm = {P ∈ V | dim TP V ≥ m}, where m ≥ 0 is an integer. By the remark after Theorem 3.1, Vm = {P ∈ V | rank JP ≤ n − m}. It is a theorem in linear algebra that a matrix has rank ≤ k if and only if all of its
n Example: If V is an affine subspace of A , TP V = V at every point P ∈ V , so the dimension of V as a variety agrees with its dimension as an affine space and it has no singular points. In particular, An is non-singular and has dimension n. Worked examples can be found in the separate handout at manchester.ac.uk/staff/gabor.megyesi/teaching/MATH32062/singularities. pdf. Herwig Hauser's gallery at hauser/bildergalerie/gallery.html has many nice examples of singular surfaces. The combination of the preceding results gives the following procedure for finding the dimension and singular points of an irreducible variety V ⊆ An(K).
1. Choose a set of generators f1, f2, . . . , fr for I(V ). (In all the problems you will have to solve, the field will be algebraically closed and the defining ideal of V will be a radical ideal, so it will be equal to I(V ).) 2. Calculate the Jacobian matrix J. 3. For k = 0, 1, 2,..., find the points where all the (k + 1) × (k + 1) minors of J vanish and also f1 = f2 = ... = fr = 0. These are the points where rank JP ≤ k and therefore dim TP V ≥ n − k. Do this until you find the smallest k such that dim TP V ≥ n − k for every point P ∈ V . 4. Then dim V = n−k and Sing V is the set of points where dim TP V > n−k, i. e., the points of V where all the k × k minors of J vanish. Definition. Let V be an arbitrary (not necessarily irreducible) affine algebraic variety. The dimension of V , dim V , is the maximum of the dimensions of the irreducible components of V . The local dimension of V at P ∈ V is defined to be the maximum of the dimension of the irreducible components of V containing P . P is called non-singular if and only if dim TP V is equal to the local dimension of V at P . P is called singular if and only if dim TP V is greater than the local dimension
36 of V at P . The set of singular points of V is denoted by Sing V , just as in the irreducible case. Fact: Sing V consists of the singular points of the individual irreducible com- ponents and of intersection points of different components. This means that in general, one needs to decompose the variety into its irreducible components in order to find the its dimension and its singular points, however, by the proposition below and by question 2 on tutorial sheet 7, hypersurfaces over an algebraically closed field are an exception.
α1 α2 αr Proof. f can be factorised as f = f1 f2 ··· fr , where the fi, 1 ≤ i ≤ r, are irreducible polynomials such that fi is not a scalar multiple of fj if i 6= j, and αi, 1 ≤ i ≤ r, are positive integers. The irreducible components are V(hfii), 1 ≤ i ≤ r, so if we prove the proposition for f irreducible, then it will imply the general case, because each component of H has dimension n − 1. Let's assume that f is irreducible, then H is also irreducible and I(H) = hfi. ∂f ∂f ∂f We have J = , ,..., . rank JP can only be 0 or 1 and if ∂x1 ∂x2 ∂xn rank JP = 1 for some P ∈ H, then dim H = n − 1. ∂f ∂f Assume to the contrary that rank JP = 0 for every P ∈ H. Then , , ∂x1 ∂x2 ∂f ..., ∈ I(H) = hfi, that is, all the partial derivatives are multiples of f. ∂xn As their degree is smaller than the degree of f, the only way this can happen is if they are all 0. This is not possible in characteristic 0 since then f would be a constant, which has been excluded. In characteristic p it is possible for all the partial derivatives to be 0, it happens if and only if the exponent of every variable in every term is a dxn multiple of p.( = nxn−1 = 0 if and only if p divides n.) Then dx √ p X pi1 pi2 pin X p i1 i2 in f = αi1,i2,...,in x1 x2 ··· xn = αi1,i2,...,in x1 x2 ··· xn , i1,i2,...,in i1,i2,...,in so f is reducible, contradicting our assumption that it was irreducible.
n Remark. Let K be an algebraically closed field. If V1, V2 ⊆ A (K) are affine algebraic varieties of dimension d1 and d2, respectively, then every irreducible
The irreducible components of W1 are the co-ordinate axes, V(hx, yi), V(hx, zi) and V(hy, zi). The irreducible components of W2 are the lines V(hxi), V(hyi) and V(hx + yi). Both varieties consist of three lines meeting at a point, the origin, but we shall prove that W1 and W2 are not isomorphic.
Let's calculate T(0,0,0)W1 and T(0,0)W2. hxy, xz, yzi) and hxy(x + y)i are radical ideals, so they are equal to I(W1) and I(W2), respectively. y x 0 The Jacobian of W1 is J(W1) = z 0 x. At (0, 0, 0), J(0,0,0)(W1) = 0 z y 0 0 0 0 0 0, so it has rank 0 and therefore dim T(0,0,0)W1 = 3. (T(0,0,0)W1 = 0 0 0 3 A can be proved even without calculating the Jacobian. Any f ∈ I(W1) is identically 0 on the three co-ordinate axes, therefore these axes are tangent lines. If we know that T(0,0,0)W1 is an affine subspace, then it follows that 3 T(0,0,0)W1 = A as no other affine subspace contains all three co-ordinate axes.) 2 2 The Jacobian of W2 is J(W2) = 2xy + y x + 2xy . At (0, 0), J(0,0)(W2) = 0 0 , so it has rank 0 and therefore dim T(0,0)W2 = 2.
If there existed an isomorphism ϕ : W1 → W2, then we would have ϕ(0, 0, 0) = (0, 0), as (0, 0, 0) and (0, 0) are uniquely characterised as the intersection points of the components in W1 and W2, respectively. However, isomor- phisms preserve the dimension of the tangent space and dim T(0,0,0)W1 = 3 6= dim T(0,0)W2 = 2, therefore there does not exist an isomorphism between W1 and W2.
The rest of the material in this section is not examinable.
41 For any vector space X over K, the dual space X∗ is defined to be the vector space of all linear maps X → K with the obvious operations. For any linear map α : X → Y , there is a dual map α∗ : Y ∗ → X∗. What Theorem 3.4 really ∼ 2 ∗ proves, without mentioning dual spaces explicitly, is that TP V = (mP /mP ) . While any two finite dimensional vector spaces of the same dimension are 2 ∗ isomorphic, the isomorphism between TP V and (mP /mP ) is natural, it can be defined without reference to bases. Given an arbitrary morphism ϕ : V → W , by Theorem 2.1 we have a morphism of rings ϕ∗ : K[W ] → K[V ], which also induces a linear map 2 2 mϕ(P )/mϕ(P ) → mP /mP . Taking duals, we obtain the differential map ∼ 2 ∗ ∼ 2 ∗ dϕP : TP V = (mP /mP ) → Tϕ(P )W = (mϕ(P )/mϕ(P )) . dϕP is similar to the differential map betwen tangent spaces in differential geometry. Isomorphisms can be characterised by using the differential map, ϕ is an isomorphism if and only if it is bijective and dϕP is an isomorphism for every P ∈ V . The dimension of a variety can be defined in other ways as well, which are more suited for certain purposes, but are less useful for practical calculations. 1. dim V is equal to the maximum d for which there exists a chain of irre- ducible subvarieties V0 ⊂ V1 ⊂ ...Vd ⊆ V . Moreover, if V is irreducible, any such chain that cannot be extended by inserting further subvarieties has the same length. From this definition it is clear that the dimension of a proper subvariety of an irreducible variety is smaller than the dimension of the whole variety, which is hard to prove by using tangent spaces. 2. If V is irreducible, then dim V is transcendence degree of K(V ) over K, i. e., the maximal number of elements x1, x2,..., xd ∈ K(V ) which do not satisfy any non-zero polynomial with coefficients in K. As a consequence of an algebraic result called the Noether Normalisation Lemma, any variety is birationally equivalent to a hypersurface, therefore dim V = d if and only if V is birationally equivalent to a hypersurface in Ad+1. This interpretation of the dimension shows that the dimension of irreducible varieties is invariant under birational equivalence, not just under isomorphism. Fact: For any irreducible variety V in characteristic 0, there exist a non- singular variety V˜ and a birational morphism ϕ : V˜ → V such that ϕ is an isomorphism outside Sing V . This is called the desingularisation of V . The existence of a desingularisation is a very hard theorem, for which the Japanese mathematician Heisuke Hironaka received the Fields Medal in 1970. The problem is still open in prime characteristic in dimension ≥ 3. | eng | 8c0929b8-4e62-4c18-b17f-c7eda48122e4 | https://docslib.org/doc/13469473/math32062-algebraic-geometry-notes |

Do I Need a Bra With Darting in the Bust?
The question of whether or not one needs a bra with darting in the bust is a common concern for individuals seeking comfort and proper support. Darting refers to the technique of sewing fabric to create shape and contour in specific areas of a garment, often utilized in bras to accommodate the natural curves of a woman's bust. Deciding whether or not to wear a bra with darting depends on various factors such as personal preference, body shape, and the intended purpose of the bra. While some individuals may find that bras with darting provide a more tailored fit and enhanced support, others may feel equally comfortable without them. Ultimately, the choice boils down to individual needs and comfort. By understanding the purpose and potential benefits of bras with darting, individuals can make informed decisions about their undergarment choices, ensuring a comfortable and supportive experience tailored to their unique bodies.
Are Bust Darts Necessary?
Bust darts are an essential element in achieving a well-fitted and aesthetically pleasing top. These cleverly placed darts help the garment conform to the curves of the body, providing an enhanced fit without compromising comfort.
By effectively redistributing the fabric in a specific area, the dart eliminates excess fabric and creates a more tailored appearance. This not only enhances the fit but also improves the overall visual appeal by accentuating the natural curves of the body.
Without these darts, the fabric might gather or form unflattering folds, leading to an ill-fitting and sloppy look.
They help to accommodate the bust area without making the top overly tight or close-fitting. By incorporating proper bust shaping, designers can create tops that flatter all body types, ensuring a comfortable and well-proportioned fit for a diverse range of individuals.
They enhance the fit, ensure a smooth drape, and help to maintain balanced proportions.
Tips and Techniques for Sewing and Altering Bust Darts
Understanding the purpose of bust darts
Measuring and marking dart placement accurately
Transferring dart markings onto the fabric
Creating and shaping the dart using various sewing techniques
Pressing and finishing the dart for a professional look
Altering the length and width of bust darts for a better fit
Tailoring bust darts to accommodate different bust sizes
Adjusting dart placement for different garments
Working with darts on various types of fabrics
Troubleshooting common issues with bust darts
One of the key elements in creating a well-fitting garment is the bust dart. To ensure the perfect fit, it's important to properly measure your bust depth and width. With the help of a mirror, you can accurately transfer these measurements onto your pattern. By drawing lines, marking the bust point, and making careful slashes, you'll be able to create the desired dart shape.
How to Do a Bust Dart?
One of the most important aspects of sewing a garment is creating a well-fitting bust. Whether you're designing your own pattern or altering an existing one, understanding how to do a bust dart is essential. Here are some step-by-step instructions to help you along the way.
First, you need to measure the new bust depth. Stand in front of a mirror and measure from the shoulder seamline directly below your ear to your bust point. Make sure to keep the tape measure straight and level for an accurate measurement.
Once you've your measurements, transfer them onto your pattern. Using a ruler or straight edge, draw a horizontal line through the dot representing your bust point. This will be the starting point for the dart.
Then, add a vertical line starting at the end of the diagonal line and extending down to the hem or waistline of your garment.
To create the dart, slash from the hem or waistline up to the bust point along the vertical line. This will create two triangular flaps of fabric that can be folded and sewn together to create the dart.
Remember to always make a muslin or test garment before cutting into your final fabric to ensure a proper fit. With practice and patience, you can become proficient in creating well-fitting bust darts that enhance the overall look and fit of your garments.
How to Transfer Dart Markings to Different Types of Fabric (e.g. Sheer or Textured)
Prepare your fabric and dart markings.
For sheer fabric, place a piece of tissue paper or tracing paper underneath the fabric.
For textured fabric, use chalk or a water-soluble marking pen that will be visible on the surface.
Align the dart legs and pin or baste them together.
Use tailor's chalk or a fabric pencil to mark the dart point on the fabric.
For textured fabric, make sure the markings are clear and visible on the surface.
Repeat the process for each dart on your pattern.
Once the dart markings are transferred, you can proceed with sewing your garment.
Remember to backstitch at the beginning and end of each dart for secure stitching.
Press the darts flat or towards the center according to your pattern instructions.
Now that we've learned how to remove bust darts from a dress, let's focus on some additional steps to perfecting the garment's design.
Can You Remove Bust Darts From a Dress?
Yes, it's possible to remove bust darts from a dress. One method is to carefully clip into the armscye seam allowance where the bust dart is located. Make sure to leave a small paper hinge to ensure the pattern stays intact. Once you've made the clip, you can proceed to cut along the right line of the triangle that you just drew. This will allow you to swing the side of the pattern closed, effectively eliminating the bust dart.
After swinging the pattern closed, you may need to trim off any excess paper at the former dart area. This will help create a smooth and seamless transition in the fabric. Once the excess paper is trimmed, you can then re-draw the hem of the top according to your desired design or shape.
It can provide a sleek silhouette and can be especially useful for those who prefer a more relaxed or loose fit in the bust area.
However, before attempting any alterations, it's always essential to consider the original design and fit of the dress.
Trimming any excess paper and re-drawing the hem can provide a seamless finish.
How to Add Darts to a Dress for a More Fitted Shape
If you've a dress that feels a bit loose or boxy, you can add darts to give it a more fitted shape. Darts are triangular folds of fabric that help contour and shape the garment. To do this, start by trying on the dress and identifying the areas where it needs more definition. Mark those areas with pins or chalk. Begin at the bust area and determine the placement and length of the darts. Then, on the wrong side of the fabric, fold the dart line in half, making sure the folded edges align with the marked points. Pin the dart in place and sew along the folded line, tapering towards the edge. Repeat the process for any other desired darts. Finally, press the darts flat and reinforce the stitches with a backstitch. This method will help you achieve a more tailored and flattering fit for your dress.
Conclusion
While darting can offer shape and contour to the bust, it may not be necessary for everyone. Factors such as breast size, clothing style, and personal comfort levels should be taken into account when making this choice. Ultimately, the goal should be to feel confident and comfortable in one's own skin, whether that involves wearing a bra with darting or opting for alternative forms of support. | eng | 66cf5821-f10d-4608-b540-e374e59a36a1 | https://latenightleather.com/do-i-need-a-bra-with-darting-in-the-bust/ |
Hormones for trans woman
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for transgender women, also known as male-to-female (MtF) hormone therapy, typically involves two main types of medications: estrogen and anti-androgens.
Estrogen: This is the primary female sex hormone. Supplementing estrogen helps develop female secondary sexual characteristics, such as breasts, a more rounded body shape, and less body hair. It can also help with mood and emotional well-being. It is typically given as a pill, patch, gel, or injection. The specific type and dose will be determined by your healthcare provider.
Anti-Androgens: These are medications that block the effects of testosterone in the body, which can help to decrease male secondary sexual characteristics such as facial hair, deep voice, and body hair. Common anti-androgens include spironolactone and finasteride. Some healthcare providers may also use a medication called a GnRH agonist to reduce the production of testosterone.
The specific regimen and doses of HRT can vary greatly depending on the individual, their goals for physical changes, their overall health, and the potential side effects. All medications have risks and benefits, and HRT is no different. Some risks include blood clots, increased potassium levels, gallstones, elevated liver enzymes, and others. It's important to discuss these risks with a knowledgeable healthcare provider.
Monitoring is a crucial part of HRT. Your healthcare provider will likely perform regular blood tests to check hormone levels and to monitor for any potential side effects. They will also monitor the physical changes and make adjustments to the HRT regimen as necessary.
Lastly, it's crucial to remember that everyone's journey with gender identity is unique and personal, and hormone therapy is a choice, not a requirement. Not all transgender people choose to, or can afford to, undergo hormone therapy, and their identities are valid regardless.

Bullet Train
Five assassins aboard a fast moving bullet train find out their missions have something in common.
'Bullet Train' is a film that on paper should be much more entertaining than it actually is. It has a cool premise centring on several assassins who find themselves on the same shinkansen (or bullet) train from Tokyo to Kyoto, all with slightly different missions. It's directed by David Leitch who has had first hand involvement in the John Wick series as well as the retro Charlize Theron action thriller 'Atomic Blonde'. It also has an international cast led by Brad Pitt at his laconic best. Why then, is it, that 'Bullet Train' feels a little too try hard and if anything, a little too smug and self satisfied?
Our main protagonist is 'Ladybug' (Pitt), an experienced assassin who is given a seemingly simple task by his handler to retrieve a briefcase on board the aforementioned train. Throughout the journey we, and Ladybug, are introduced to various other assassins who aren't exactly on this train as tourists visiting Japan, and we start to learn that their presence on the same train is linked to a mysterious crime boss named 'The White Death' (yes, everyone has to have quirky names). I did think it was quite smart how the interconnected tasks and characters were weaved into one overall story, but the ultimate reveal came a little too late for it to really grab me. I enjoyed some of the performances, primarily Pitt and Hiroyuki Sanada, who is always good and who should be in much more. I was less impressed by Michael Shannon's turn as a crime boss, which felt more like he was channelling 'Borat' than being menacing – he's usually excellent as well.
For a movie that should be short and sharp, much like the trains its story is set on, it doesn't half drag and there's no reason for this to be over 2 hours long. Shaving 30 minutes and a couple of characters could have made this into a lean, slick thriller, instead of the overlong homage to better films it ultimately turns out to be. In many respects, it reminded me of a film from a few years ago called 'Hotel Artemis' that also had a cool premise and a retro feel, but ultimately wasn't as fun as it promised to be. As an aside this was my first experience watching a movie in a 'Screen X' format, which is a type of cinema screen that is shaped like a square and uses the space to the left and right of the seats to show parts of the film as well. It's meant to be more immersive but to be honest I thought it was quite gimmicky, certainly in the way it was used for 'Bullet Train'. | eng | 1612f402-9094-4576-b47e-d28cefd45d23 | https://uplateatnightagain.com/2022/08/10/bullet-train/ |
Research
My research program aims to uncover the cognitive sources of variation in how people produce, perceive, and learn phonetic details in speech.
Intelligibility
Social connection / Sociophonetics
Individual Variation
1. Intelligibility
How well we can understand each other is shaped by our experience with similar situations and our expectations. How do people adapt their speech across presumed and actual barriers (e.g., face-masks, ASR systems)? How do people adapt their listening?
2. Social connection / Sociophonetics
Millions of people now engage with voice technology (e.g., Alexa, Siri, Google Assistant) that have names, apparent genders/ages/emotion, and advanced text-to-speech (TTS) voices. How do the sociophonetic attributes of the TTS voices shape our responses? Do we apply social 'rules' from human-human interaction apply to voice technology? How does this have downstream effects on language production, perception, and learning? | eng | 96a7978a-788f-4517-beed-1a00a13af451 | https://michelledcohn.com/research-2/ |

The Taco Man
The next update for strategic card battler Scrolls will be its last, with servers shutting down next year.
Unfortunately, most of you will be most familar with Minecraft dev Mojang's strategic card battler Scrolls via the blog post [ that the game's next update will be its last.
"The launch of the Scrolls beta was a great success. Tens of thousands of players battled daily, and many of them remain active today," reads the post. "Unfortunately, the game has reached a point where it can no longer sustain continuous development."
"Scrolls will still be available to purchase for the time being, and our servers will run until at least July 1st, 2016. All future proceeds will go towards keeping Scrolls playable for as long as possible," continued the post.
"We've had a great time working on Scrolls, and appreciate every last player who's downloaded our game. Extra big thanks to the most dedicated members of our community; some of you have logged in almost every day since release and dedicated a large portion of your time to dominating the leaderboards and taking care of new players."
It's a shame to see Mojang's first post-Minecraft project go up in flames like this, but I guess in a world dominated by The Elder Scrolls: Legends [ can shake things upSuperior competition with a similar (if not identical) concept will often destroy you if you don't have something very unique about you. I'm guessing Scrolls didn't have enough different about it to justify playing both?
Anyway, put me in the camp of people who remember it only because of the Bethesda thing.

Microsoft has no plans for Mojang. Or at least, they don't have any plans regarding new game development. So of course Scrolls means nothing to them. Doesn't make sense for Microsoft to own that product. They wouldn't know what to do with it, so it goes down the bin.
Henchgoat Emperor
Scrolls also had little marketing to go on, and while one can blame Microsoft for not pushing it post-buyout, the damage was already done prior to that. When the only spotlight the game ever got was due to the Bethesda lawsuit, it should show how little Mojang seemed to care for its own project.
I never played it myself but from what I've heard it was a subpar game anyway so its little surprise it couldn't stand the heat of competition with a superior product.
I enjoy Hearthstone personally and feel its solid enough to weather most contenders. Developers, if you're going to make a game in a genre with stiff competition, you might want to think about marketing it well because I had forgotten this game existed until this news broke. I didn't even know it had made it out of beta, or if I did read that somewhere, there wasn't enough word of mouth about it and that alone says more than anything else.
Sucks for the people who worked on it but thats how this shit works. How many physical card games have lasted since Magic: The Gathering became a big deal? Why did the contenders fizzle? Because they were either poorly made or poorly marketed or both. Can't just jump on a bandwagon and expect to make it. Hell too many MMO's have been made trying to ride the coattails of WoW only to be left in the dust because they didn't do enough to make themselves stand out against the competition.
I don't feel this is anyone's fault except the people who failed to make it shine and I refuse to blame Microsoft for a poor product developed prior to them buying Mojang.

blame this on poor marketing. i heard about this during Scroll-gate, and then nothing after. had they leveraged the power of their name after minecraft, this could have become something. instead, it faded into obscurity.
Was much more complex and a single match would run way longer than a hearthstone game. Was actually a lot more fun and interesting for it though. But as expected, the shorter, simpler format of Hearthstone was always going to appeal to a larger player base.
And it was actually way more generous in terms of getting the cards you needed to build decks since it allowed card trading. Hearthstone is 100x a bigger grind.
But yeah, match length was the killer for me. As much as I enjoyed it, couldn't justify spending upwards of 30 minutes plus (often) per game. I do hope someone does something similar though in terms of the card + board mechanics as it made for a fun take on the CCG.

Hearthstone was released March 2014. Scrolls was released December 2014. Even if you go back to open beta stage (i.e. the very first stage when anyone could join in) Scrolls was OB June 2013 and Hearthstone January 2014. I'd hardly claim what Jake said is "false" in light of that; its not exactly a gigantic difference.
On topic: Unlike a few of the above I knew it was out but...honestly I never saw any reason to want to play. You had to buy it to play it and it was decidedly not particularly cheap. I actually had to google to find out how much it cost now because I couldn't find a price clearly displayed on the main Scrolls website, apparently they reduced it down to a few pounds which is more reasonable but I don't really see any point in buying in anymore since its closing. If they'd advertised that price cut better then maybe they'd have done better.
To ruminate for a bit I somewhat feel that the failure of Scrolls was partly down to a certain amount of hubris. I don't mean that in a particularly insulting way but what I mean is I think Notch/Mojang made the same mistake with Minecraft and Scrolls as Nintendo made with the Wii and the Wii U. They both assumed that because the former was a gigantic success without a particularly monumental effort on their part outside of making the product that anything they followed it up with would be an equally huge success with a similar level of effort.
But that isn't how these things work. The Wii was one of the most insane successes seen in the games industry. Everyone bought a Wii. It sold millions upon millions more than a Nintendo console would normally expect to sell and so Nintendo figured it didn't need to do anything special with the Wii U in order to get the same success. So they half-arsed the marketing for it and that turned out to be a relative disaster. To this day there are still some people who think the Wii U is an accessory for the Wii.
Scrolls suffered the same fate. Minecraft was a gigantic success founded pretty much entirely on word of mouth and youtube. So why should the now multi-billion dollars valued company Mojang put any particular effort into marketing Scrolls? Surely everyone already knows about their company and hence people will flood in droves to buy it if its good?
But the thing is the quality of the product DOESN'T MATTER if nobody knows about it or if its marketed poorly. The Wii U is actually a nice console with some decent games. I'm sure Scrolls is a very well put-together game. But the Wii and Minecraft are both freak exceptions to the rule and thus relying on replicating their success the same way isn't going to work. You really must market properly if you are going to get people to buy.

The Importance of Credit Counseling and Debt Management
Understanding Debt and Its Impact
Debt is a common aspect of modern life, affecting individuals and families across the United States. Whether it's student loans, credit card debt, or medical bills, the burden of debt can have a significant impact on our financial well-being and overall quality of life. It's crucial to understand the implications of debt and the importance of seeking professional guidance through credit counseling and debt management.
The Role of Credit Counseling
Credit counseling is a valuable resource for individuals and families struggling with debt. These services are typically provided by non-profit organizations and are designed to assist individuals in understanding their financial situation, developing a realistic budget, and creating a plan to manage and reduce their debt.
During a credit counseling session, a certified credit counselor will evaluate your current financial situation, including your income, expenses, and debt obligations. They will help you identify areas where you can cut back on expenses, negotiate with creditors to reduce interest rates or monthly payments, and develop a plan to pay off your debt over time.
Credit counseling can also provide valuable education on financial management, helping you develop healthy spending habits, improve your credit score, and avoid future debt problems. By working with a credit counselor, you can gain the knowledge and skills necessary to achieve long-term financial stability.
Benefits of Debt Management
Debt management is a critical component of credit counseling. Once you have a clear understanding of your financial situation, a debt management plan can be developed to help you pay off your debt in an organized and structured manner.
A debt management plan involves consolidating all of your unsecured debts, such as credit card debt, into a single monthly payment. This payment is then distributed to your creditors on your behalf by the credit counseling agency. In many cases, creditors will agree to reduce interest rates or waive late fees as part of the debt management plan.
The benefits of a debt management plan are numerous. Firstly, it simplifies the repayment process by consolidating multiple payments into one. This can make it easier to keep track of your bills and ensure timely payments. Additionally, the lower interest rates and fees negotiated by the credit counseling agency can save you money and help you pay off your debt more quickly.
Taking Control of Your Financial Future
Seeking credit counseling and enrolling in a debt management plan is not a sign of failure or weakness; rather, it is a proactive step towards regaining control of your financial future. By working with a credit counselor, you can develop a customized plan that meets your unique needs and goals.
While credit counseling and debt management can provide relief and guidance, it's important to address the root causes of your debt and make lasting changes to your financial habits. This may involve creating a realistic budget, cutting back on unnecessary expenses, and finding ways to increase your income.
Remember, the journey to financial stability and debt freedom takes time and commitment. It's essential to stay motivated and disciplined, even when faced with challenges along the way. By seeking credit counseling and implementing a debt management plan, you are taking a vital step towards a brighter financial future.

Conclusion
Credit counseling and debt management services offer valuable support and guidance to individuals and families struggling with debt. By seeking professional help, you can gain a clearer understanding of your financial situation, develop a plan to manage and reduce your debt, and ultimately regain control of your financial future. Remember, the path to financial stability requires commitment and discipline, but with the right tools and support, you can achieve long-term debt freedom and peace of mind. | eng | e904a829-e342-4602-8434-78e5dec7b116 | https://allanwinder.com/24169-the-importance-of-credit-counseling-and-debt-management-55/ |
The Consequences of Mixing Fuel: Diesel in a Gas Car
The Consequences of Mixing Fuel: Diesel in a Gas Car
Did you know that putting diesel fuel in a gas car can lead to serious consequences? It's true. Mixing these fuels can cause damage to your engine, decrease performance and efficiency, and even pose safety hazards.
Not to mention the costly repairs and maintenance that may be necessary.
In this article, we will explore the potential risks and provide you with steps to take if you find yourself in this situation.
So, let's dive into the consequences of mixing fuel: diesel in a gas car.
Potential Damage to the Engine
You may experience significant engine damage if you accidentally mix diesel fuel with gasoline in your car. Fuel contamination is a serious issue that can lead to various problems within your engine. One of the most common consequences of this mishap is an engine misfire. When diesel fuel is mixed with gasoline, it alters the fuel properties and disrupts the combustion process. This can result in incomplete combustion, leading to a misfire where the fuel mixture fails to ignite properly.
An engine misfire can have detrimental effects on the overall performance and durability of your engine. The misfire can cause increased wear and tear on engine components, such as the spark plugs and pistons. The incomplete combustion can also lead to the accumulation of carbon deposits, further affecting the engine's efficiency.
Moreover, the presence of diesel fuel in a gasoline engine can lead to a decrease in performance and efficiency. The fuel mixture may not burn as efficiently, resulting in reduced power output and decreased fuel economy. The engine may struggle to generate the required power, leading to sluggish acceleration and overall poor performance.
Decreased Performance and Efficiency
When diesel fuel is mixed with gasoline in a gas car, it can lead to a decrease in engine performance and efficiency. The consequences of this mixture are evident in both the emissions and the fuel system of the vehicle.
Effects on emissions: – Increased levels of particulate matter: Diesel fuel contains higher levels of carbon particles compared to gasoline. When mixed with gasoline, these particles can result in increased emissions of particulate matter. This can have detrimental effects on air quality and contribute to respiratory issues. – Elevated levels of nitrogen oxides: Diesel fuel also contains higher levels of nitrogen compounds. When mixed with gasoline, these compounds can lead to increased emissions of nitrogen oxides. These pollutants contribute to smog formation and have harmful effects on human health.
Impact on fuel system: – Clogged fuel injectors: Diesel fuel has a higher viscosity compared to gasoline. When diesel is mixed with gasoline, it can clog the fuel injectors, leading to reduced fuel flow and decreased engine performance. – Damaged fuel pump: The lubricating properties of diesel fuel are different from gasoline. When diesel is introduced into a gas car, it can cause excessive wear and tear on the fuel pump, leading to decreased efficiency and potential failure. – Reduced fuel efficiency: Diesel fuel has a higher energy density than gasoline, which means it provides more energy per unit of volume. When diesel is mixed with gasoline, the overall energy density decreases, resulting in reduced fuel efficiency and increased fuel consumption.
The Consequences of Mixing Fuel: Diesel in a Gas Car
Safety Hazards and Risks
Mixing diesel fuel with gasoline in a gas car poses significant safety hazards and risks. One of the most alarming risks is the potential for fire and explosion. Diesel fuel is highly flammable, and when mixed with gasoline, the volatility of the fuel mixture increases. This can lead to spontaneous combustion and result in a catastrophic fire or explosion. The combination of diesel and gasoline can create a volatile mixture that's highly reactive and prone to ignition. The risk of fire and explosion is greatly heightened when this mixture is ignited by an open flame, spark, or even a hot surface.
In addition to the immediate safety hazards, mixing diesel fuel with gasoline in a gas car also has serious environmental impacts. Diesel fuel contains higher levels of sulfur and other harmful pollutants compared to gasoline. When diesel and gasoline are mixed, these pollutants are released into the atmosphere, contributing to air pollution and negatively impacting air quality. This can have detrimental effects on human health, as well as the environment. Furthermore, the improper combustion of the fuel mixture can result in the release of greenhouse gases, contributing to climate change.
Costly Repairs and Maintenance
Repairing and maintaining a gas car after mixing diesel fuel can result in costly expenses. The consequences of this mistake can have a long-lasting impact on your vehicle's performance and overall condition. Here are some high repair costs and long-term consequences you may face:
Fuel system damage: Mixing diesel fuel in a gas car can lead to severe damage to the fuel system components such as fuel injectors, fuel pump, and fuel lines. The diesel fuel's thicker consistency and higher lubricity can cause clogging and wear, requiring expensive repairs or even replacements.
Engine damage: Diesel fuel has different combustion properties than gasoline. When diesel is mixed with gas and enters the engine, it can cause misfires, excessive carbon build-up, and damage to critical engine parts. Repairing or replacing engine components can be a significant expense.
Catalytic converter failure: The catalytic converter is a crucial emissions control device in your vehicle. Diesel fuel mixing can lead to overheating and contamination, reducing its efficiency or causing complete failure. Replacing a catalytic converter isn't only expensive but also necessary for ensuring compliance with emission regulations.
These costly repairs and long-term consequences highlight the importance of using the correct fuel for your gas car. Prevention is always better than cure, and avoiding the mix-up in the first place will save you both money and headaches.
Steps to Take if Diesel Is Put in a Gas Car
If diesel is accidentally put in your gas car, there are several steps you should take to minimize damage and potential expenses.
The first step is to stop driving the car immediately. Continuing to operate the vehicle can cause significant damage to the engine and other components.
Next, you should have the car towed to a reputable mechanic or a service station. It's important to avoid starting the engine or attempting to drive the car to the repair facility, as this can worsen the situation.
To prevent diesel from being put in a gas car in the future, it's crucial to pay close attention when refueling and double-check the fuel type before pumping. Additionally, educating yourself and others about the differences between diesel and gasoline can help prevent such mistakes from happening.
When it comes to disposing of diesel in a gas car, it's important to follow proper procedures to minimize environmental impact. Contact your local waste management facility or a hazardous waste disposal center for guidance on how to safely dispose of the contaminated fuel. It's essential not to pour the diesel fuel down drains, sewers, or onto the ground, as this can contaminate water sources and harm the environment.
Taking the necessary steps to properly dispose of the diesel fuel will help protect both the environment and public health.

PERCENT Problems and Application (2023)
Introduction
Video
So all right so welcome to our class again, I'm ready for this one and um, it's, february 9th.
So before we start to our lesson, I would like you to answer this question.
So in this world, it is not what we take.
But what we give up that makes us rich right? This is according to henry wide feature.
So what what most valuable possession you have that you can give up for someone give you a minute to write an answer while you do that I'll check the attendance.
So I would like to share this one.
What is the most valuable possession you have that you could give up for someone anyone I have? No.
I have some responses inside so let's, see what we have.
I probably give up said, food, if they are struggling for food street, maybe fuse them a few dollars, that's, nice, a beautiful locket that symbolizes our friendship that's, not giving up that's, um, I think that's more of a gift I'm gonna.
Ju, my devices chivalry for each other what's, the purpose of this you're giving up like guys, you are looking for material so that's, why I said, valuable possession it's, not okay, that's.
Why you think it's? Um, you don't know, I gave up someone's free money before my plans all right so I'll give you an idea because you're you're just thinking of material things.
So you could give up.
You could always give up your time.
So let's say, I'm so busy, I have so many things to do.
But then here comes a friend, that's crying and really needs your help.
So you don't give up things for them.
You give up your time and that one of the most valuable thing you have at that moment, your time need to do some work or like, uh, something like that, right? It doesn't need to be money.
All the time it doesn't need to be like, oh, I have.
I have to go to this place.
This is a pretty party of my friend.
I really have to be there.
But then all of a sudden there is someone who really are in need of you in that moment like that you had to go with her with him, not on the way to the doctor or or babysit, the the kid something like that other than going to the party you give that up that's the most important thing for you it's, the party with your best friend right, it doesn't need to be material, because we don't have that material thing.
Anyway.
So far right now, like everybody of all most of us are drained at this situation.
All right.
So anderson, is here.
Welcome anderson to the class so I'm, giving you the link.
So I could start the lesson again.
I gotta move forward since we're gonna learn how to solve present we're just going to be reviewing today right? But I really want to see, um your work.
I would like to see how you work on this problem.
All right let's start with this one, which one doesn't belong true is to remember we have been doing this like quite a while, and we've stopped a little bit because instead of doing what we think about it.
I have been giving you some extra word problems, but let's jump on this one for now.
Before I go to percent I'll, give you a minute, be ready to share it this time? Okay, I'm gonna be asking someone to share.
Jackie will be the first jackie.
Go ahead.
So I think zero point, four zero and five hundredths is different from all the other ways all the others are basically half of a whole, but not zero and five.
Hundreds, nice observation.
Another one fiona, what did you pick? How about you haley? Oh, I picked the orange one.
You picked the orange one because why did you pick that you guys need to talk? They are equivalent to each other.
Um echo said, uh and other agreed.
This word is on 0.5.
So x is here.
Did I mark your present? Yes, I did all right so how about haley? What do you? What did you pick 0.05? Why did you do that? Why did you pick that because it's the only one that's equivalent to a 500 while the others are equal to 50 out of 100.? Okay, that's a good observation.
Md, it's.
The only one that's not a half, unlike the other ones anybody pick this, uh, b, house, kind of shape.
Anybody? Pick that anything malia? Go ahead.
I said, the pyramid doesn't belong because it's, the only one that doesn't have numbers.
Okay, nice observation, too.
Anybody else? One more one more? Okay, go ahead.
Dania, um.
I also picked the bee house honeycomb thing.
I picked it because it kind of looked like the odd one out, um, that's.
Good.
Do you guys have a very good observation of picking and all your answers is correct because um that for you doesn't belong.
So others, look at it mathematically, but others just look at it like shapes and everything like that, which is also good all right so let's proceed to our lesson for the day.
So our goal is to solve percent problems on tax tip and discount using fractions, decimals and pro proportionality.
Uh, we have been using different strategies for so long, and we've been reviewing so we'll, see, this will be your, um, this will be your second to the last review.
So let's, try to solve this problem.
There are 30 students in mrs jones class.
Twenty percent of the student receive an aim on the last math test.
How many students did not receive an a.
So this time all our problems in here are like mixed of percent problem.
So try to solve it using your favorite strategy.
I'll, give you a minute all right? So there are 13 students who answer this question before I show the answer of others who would like to share first, how did we solve this problem? You could tell me I used to I used this strategy, and I able to find this let's, try with joanna come on.
How come you guys are quiet, you need to speak up today all right jackie.
So the answer is six because first first, I put 30 and 100 are basically the total amount.
And then I divided 30 by 100 and got got 0.3.
Then I multiplied it by 20 because 0.3 is 1 out of 100.
So I multiply it by 20, I got 6.
So 6 is the number of students that is white daca, ace that got a anybody who would like to add on md.
Go ahead.
So six is the number of students that got eight.
But then the question says, how many students did not receive an a so then you have to do 30 minus six, and then you would get 24.
So the answer would be 24.
Jackie do you agree tonight? Would you like to? Okay? Sorry.
Jackie go ahead.
Jackie do you agree with md? Yes, all right? Uh, eckers.
Would you like to add something you were raising your hand? So that was that was true.
When you said, like md said, like we have like, I said, I agree with md.
So you have to find, um 30, minus 6 so it's 24, because 6 belongs to the students that says, twenty percent to receive an a on the last math test.
So, uh, the six students just get an eight.
But the question is, who did not receive an a so that's a very good observation? So a guy if I look at your answers, you guys got that answer, correct and you, if you end up just with six, you had to figure you had always to go back and figure out, uh, what was the question about? So the question is, what is not getting a? So six is not the one getting a six are the a.
So you have to like solve it like that.
Okay, all right? Good one.
So good review let's, go to the next question.
So a sweater track is offering 20 discount on sweaters.
If the regular price of the soda is 15, what is the discount? And what is the sale price I'll? Give you another minute? All right? Let's? See, shaggy.
Go ahead.
Take it away.
So so to find the the discount how much of this car you do have to to divide 15 by 100.
And then you get a 0.15.
And then you times 20 to get the number three.
And if you want to find the sale part, you divide, 15 divided by 100 again and times 80 because 20 is the discount.
So when you times 80 you get 12 that's the sale price.
So md want to add something.
Md, no, all I did was, um do 20, uh, do 15 times two 0.2.
I got three as the discount price, uh discount.
And then the sale is twelve dollars.
So how do you get twelve dollars in this? Why is it twelve? Oh, you have to do fifteen minus three because there is a discount so there's.
The first one that we have, he added the answer for this.
So is that correct? Or no is the first one that I'm showing you I'm, not going to tell you, but is this first word? Correct? Why isn't he apply? Okay, there you go.
Yeah, it's.
Correct.
The first one, the one with three circles, right, the three is a discount, but the final price make it 18.
So malia would you like to comment to this answer? I disagree with what danya said because it the discount price is right? But then they added instead of subtracting three to get 18 so that's, not correct so you're telling us that the discount should be subtracted from not added.
Yeah, all right.
So whoever did this one you could fix your answer.
So here you create a proportion to find the discount.
This is subtracted it.
So this is just example of mark down.
So if I'm going to ask you to stop using a markdown formula, what will you do? Do you still? Remember? How do we do markdown? How much percent is this 20 right? So if 20 is the discount, what percent is the sale price? Anyone you should have different options to solve this problem.
Not just here using decimal that's, fine so I'm going back to the question that I have if 20 is the discount, what is the sale price? What percent is the sale price? Md haley said, it, right? Md, how many percent or haley? Can you unmute and say it to the group? Eighty percent? So haley said, eighty percent how do you get? Eighty percent haley? Because fifteen dollars equals a hundred percent, and I subtracted 100 from 20.
Okay.
So 20 is the discount 80 is the sale price because the discount is taking out all right, good one so let's go to the next one.
So after 15 off sale, some jeans were 11.50 how much were the jeans before it was on sale.
I'll give you a minute all right so let's, see who has the answers with this one? Let me just look there are 11 11 over out of 22.
And then there should be 25 of unit predict until now is there not joining so predict crash? What happened? No, really, I can't write on it or anything? Wow, okay.
So, but but you could just share do you see the problem and how it works.
So I just wanted to look over in the side.
So 15, there are two different answers.
We got so um interesting, there is the answer is thirteen dollars and twenty three cents.
And there is an answer of seventy six dollars and sixty seven cents.
Where do you think is the correct one this one or and there's 107, 250 come on guys that jeans 170 so I'm, not gonna buy it or it's.
Either you multiply 15 by 1150, or you make a proportion relationship of this one whose work is this, can you explain to us what it is and I'll ask the other one to explain as to go ahead, who is this one? I don't need to look over who is it right? Yes? Who who is this 76.67? Go ahead would like to share 100, um equals 11.5 over the whole, which is what we have to find out.
And so I cross multiplied, and I got 76.67, but how come you put your 15? Um, 15.
I mean, I how come did you put 11.5 or 11 here, 11 1050 cents at the numerator and you're looking for the whole? Why is it the other way around? Um, I put it like that.
Because 1150 is how much the jeans cost after the sale after the 15 off sale.
And the question is to find out how much the jeans costed before the sale took place, correct.
So malia would you like to, um confirm or agree or disagree to what dania said, I agree with what she said because after so, since it says, you need to find the whole the 11 11.5 50 cents will be the top number.
Then you would divide that, but multiply by 100 and then divided by 15 to get the price before the sale that's true.
So actually malia work on that too.
And this is her answer all right.
So if you guys have different answer because you took it the other around in this case, the 11.50 is the 15 you're looking for what is 100, very nice job, guys all right.
So let's move on to the next question.
Mandy, bought a graduation dress that was marked down for 30.
She paid 175.
She said, she saved 75 dollars is he correct? I wanted to try to explain all right? I got again, I'll give you a minute because it's time for a next test? Oh, is it already? Oh, wow.
So, okay, I have put this in your um in a google classroom.
And you continue.
It I'm gonna open it as a, um, uh, student pace.
So you guys work on it and we'll discuss it tomorrow.
Okay.
So bye for now I'll, see you guys tomorrow I'll, see you guys tomorrow bye.
FAQs
For example, discounts in shops, bank interest rates, rates of inflation and many statistics in the media are expressed as percentages. Percentages are important for understanding the financial aspects of everyday life. Much of what we buy in the shops has a 10% Goods and Services Tax (GST) included in the price.
Let's say you want to buy a $50 coffeemaker, and the sales tax is 8%. Sales tax is a percentage of the price of the item. This means the sales tax is eight percent of fifty dollars. Whenever you see the phrase "of something" in a math sentence, it's usually a hint that you'll need to multiply. | eng | 9ae1cda7-803d-4808-a69b-e8f2bc5254e2 | https://alfatelematica.com/article/percent-problems-and-application |
Crème Anglaise (Custard Cream) with video!
If you never tried this French light sauce let me tell you that it's easy to make (there is a step-by-step video!), even though the yolks are cooked on the stove and that can be intimidating sometimes. It comes together quickly but needs to cool down. Serve it with fruit, cake slices, bread puddings, or waffles, it's a delicious sweet custard to make often.
About this recipe
Also called English cream (the translation from the French) this is like a pastry cream but lighter and pourable, perfect for desserts like the Apple Bread Pudding or Pear Cobbler.
It's made in the stove top and it consists of sweetened egg yolks cooked with milk until they thicken enough to be called a sauce.
Vanilla is the traditional flavor and you can use pure vanilla extract, paste (my favorite) or beans. The last two leave those tiny blacks specks that are so particular to using the vanilla seeds and make it more sophisticated.
But this custard can be flavored with so many other ingredients: citrus zest, other extracts (like coffee, rum, maple, citrus, almond), cocoa powder, brown sugar, and more. So, start with the traditional and start playing around until you find your favorite!
Ingredients
Only 4 ingredients are needed!
Egg yolks. Use fresh ones for best results.
Whole milk. Don't be tempted to use lowfat as the custard will not have the same richness.
Sugar. White granulated is what you need.
Vanilla. It's the star flavoring and I particularly love vanilla paste. But you can use pure extract or beans. Use the best brand you can afford.
How to use a vanilla bean
If you decide to go French all the way and use vanilla beans (instead of extract or paste) here is how you open and use them:
Place the bean flat on the surface.
With a sharp knife (I use the small one) open the bean lenghtwise.
With the tip of the knife scrape the inside of each half bean, lenghtwise, taking out the seeds.
Put the empty vanilla beans in a jar with powdered sugar and leave for several weeks. You'll have amazing vanilla sugar!

How to make crème anglaise
If you have any apprehension about cooking yolks in the stove, don't. If you follow the tips and details in the recipe you will be able to make a wonderful custard sauce.

My top tipsFrequently asked questions
What is the difference between custard and crème anglaise?
Crème anglaise is a light, pourable custard. But different from a vanilla custard pudding, which is thicker as it contains cornstarch or some other thickening agent.
What is crème anglaise made of?
Only 4 ingredients are needed: egg yolk, milk, sugar, and vanilla. Find the full recipe below in the recipe card.
How do you make crème anglaise thicker?
It uses egg yolks as thickener. Since it doesn't contain cornstarch or flour, I suggest you use less milk if you want a thicker sauceCrème Anglaise (Custard Cream)
If you never tried this light sauce let me tell you that it's easy to make, even though the yolks are cooked on a stove with a few other ingredients and that can be intimidating sometimes. It comes together quickly but needs to cool down, and, in my opinion, is better after several hours, or a day, in the fridge. Serve it with fruit, cake slices, bread puddings, or waffles, it's a delicious sweet custard to make often.
Total Time:20 minutes
Yield:1 ½ cups
Ingredients
3 egg yolks
1 cup (250ml) whole milk
¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract or paste
Instructions
Have all ingredients ready. Including a bowl with ice and some water if you're going to cool it down with an inverted water bath (see Notes below).
Pour milk on a medium saucepan and add half of the sugar. Whisk until the sugar starts to dissolve and heat over medium heat until it starts to barely simmer, or bubble in the edges. Don't let it boil.
Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks with the remaining sugar until slightly thickened. It's recommended to use a whisk because we don't want to incorporate too much air, but if you only have a hand-held mixer use it just until the mixture thickens.
Add the hot milk to the egg mixture a little at a time (we don't want to cook the yolks with the heat) until you add ⅔ of the milk.
Return this mixture to the same saucepan that has the rest of the milk and cook over low heat for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is hot and thickens slightly. Don't let it boil.
Check a few times that the custard is not boiling as it might curdle. That's why we use low heat, to be able to cook it without curdling.
It should coat the back of a wooden spoon and, if a finger is drawn across it, it should leave a clear path.
Strain the custard onto a bowl to discard any solids that might've formed while cooking.
Add vanilla paste or extract and mix.
Transfer to the ice water bowl if using an inverted water bath (see Notes below), or cover the bowl with a piece of plastic on top that touches the whole surface.
Cool at room temperature and refrigerate.
Store in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
Notes
Recipe: it can easily be doubled. Keep in mind that it will take a little longer to heat the milk and cook it.
Inverted water bath: this is a great way to cool the custard fast, and it involves putting it in a bowl and then in another bowl that has ice and water. Stir constantly until it cools down completely and thickens. You can then refrigerate it in an airtight container or in a bowl with a piece of plastic on top touching the whole surface.I made this today because I loved the name and I loved your detailed instructions. Your recipe was a success because I didn't mess up the eggs. This is decadent, I've never had this before. Thank you for the recipe, you're right, after several hours it tasted even better. Very rich and complex. | eng | a162db01-79b8-44b0-81d3-4ca657a968a3 | https://vintagekitchennotes.com/creme-anglaise-custard-cream-with-video/ |

Infrared Sauna and Fat/Weight loss:Whats the Connection?
How can incorporating Infrared Sauna in your fitness routine be the jumpstart to your fitness goals?
You've probably heard that saunas can have cardiovascular benefits, but did you know that they can also help you reach your fat/weight loss goals faster.
In this post we will explore the correlation between saunas and fat/weight loss, and how spending time in a sauna can help you achieve your health and fitness goals
How Saunas Can Help With Fat/Weight Loss.
There are a few ways in which saunas can help you with your goals. First, Saunas can help to boost your metabolism. When you spend time in a sauna, your body temperature rises and your metabolism speeds up in order to cool you down. This increased metabolic activity can lead to more efficient fat burning and weight loss over time.
Heart Health
Frequent sauna use improves cardiovascular function, reduces inflammation. A single session has been shown to lower blood pressure (after session is over), improve heart rate variability and improve arterial compliance. A study found that a sauna session is just as exhausting as moderate exercise. The researchers found that a 25 minute sauna shared similarities with a short bout of exercise on a stationary bike.
Additionally, saunas can help to reduce water retention by causing you to sweat out excess water weight. If you're carrying a few pounds of water weight, spending some time in a sauna can help you shed that weight quickly. High levels of stress have been linked to weight gain, so by reducing your stress levels with regular sauna visits, you can indirectly promote fat/weight loss. Stress is all around us and can lead to weight gain. So if a sauna session can reduce your stress levels, it would make sense to incorporate it in your routine. Also the heat increases circulation and thus decreases inflammation. So if you do push it really hard in the gym, a relaxing sweat may be just the thing you need. | eng | c077e91a-d8a5-4d96-99b2-e7669259b04b | https://www.oasiscryo.com/post/sauna-and-fatloss |

On 14th December 1990, the United Nations General Assembly designated 1st October the International Day of Older Persons. The Theme for 2019 was "The Journey to Age Equality". The 2019 theme is aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 10 (SDG 10) and focuses on pathways of coping with existing and preventing future old age inequalities. Often, disparities in old age reflect an accumulated disadvantage characterized by factors such as: location, gender, socio-economic status, health and income. Between 2015 and 2030, the number of people aged 60 and over is expected to increase from 901 million to 1.4 billion. In this regard, trends of ageing and economic inequality interact across generations and rapid population ageing, demographic and societal or structural changes alone, can exacerbate older age inequalities, thereby limiting economic growth and social cohesion. The 2019 theme aims to: * Draw attention to the existence of old age inequalities and how this often results from a cumulation of disadvantages throughout life, and highlight intergenerational risk of increased old age inequalities. * Bring awareness to the urgency of coping with existing - and preventing future - old age inequalities. * Explore societal and structural changes in view of life course policies: life-long learning, proactive and adaptive labour policies, social protection and universal health coverage. * Reflect on best practices, lessons and progress on the journey to ending older age inequalities and changing negative narratives and stereotypes involving "old age."

Homeostasis refers to stability, balance, or equilibrium within a cell or the body. It is an organism's ability to keep a constant internal environment. Homeostasis is an important characteristic of living things. Keeping a stable internal environment requires constant adjustments as conditions change inside and outside the cell. The adjusting of systems within a cell is called homeostatic regulation. Because the internal and external environments of a cell are constantly changing, adjustments must be made continuously to stay at or near the optimal set point.
Many homeostatic mechanisms keep the internal environment within certain limits (or set points). When the cells in your body do not work correctly, homeostatic balance is disrupted. Homeostatic imbalance may lead to a state of disease. Disease and cellular malfunction can be caused in two basic ways: by deficiency (cells not getting all they need) or toxicity (cells being poisoned by things they do not need). When homeostasis is interrupted, your body can correct or worsen the problem, based on certain influences. In addition to inherited (genetic) influences, there are external influences that are based on lifestyle choices and environmental exposure. These factors together influence the body's ability to maintain homeostatic balance. | eng | 965aae56-5e61-4929-9c8a-674fd5f31bf0 | https://www.fit2besick.com/home |

There are three temples that form part of Macau World Heritage including the small Na Tcha Temple just next to the Ruins of St. Paul's and the Old City Wall.
This is a small single room temple built upon this location in 1888. It is dedicated to the local folklore God of War called Na Tcha, a god that is unique to Macau. The temple is of traditional construction and includes a nice facade, large incense coils, altar with statues of deities and other interesting items of worship.
Before or after visiting the temple, you can walk through the hole in the Old City Wall, where you will find an exhibition room with interesting displays and wall art associated with the god Na Tcha and this small but interesting temple. The exhibition room is open from 10am to 6pm (closed on Wednesdays).

This small Chinese temple is found next to the ruins of St. Paul's. When standing facing the façade of St. Paul's, the temple stands to the left and behind the façade of St. Paul's. It was erected in 1888 in an attempt to stop a plague that ravaged Macau at that time. The temple was built next to one of two remaining sections of the original city walls that were constructed by the Portuguese in the 1560's. The original fortifications were built of chunambo, also known as taipa, that is a mixture of clay, straw, sand, crushed limestone and oyster shells that were tightly compacted in layers between strips of wood. While this may sound flimsy, one account claims that demolishing a 460 foot (140 m) section of wall required 1,800 pounds (816 kg) of gunpowder. This is a remnant of Macau's early defense structures that the Portuguese built around their port settlements in Africa and in India. The Na Tcha Temple stands next to the city walls. Na Tcha is the monkey warrior of Chinese legend. The martial Na Tcha must be pleased to find his temple beside the defenses of old Macau. It is a small traditional Chinese temple that consists of a main hall and a worship pavilion that measures 28 feet (8.4 m) long and 14.8 feet (4.51 m) wide. The entrance porch that opens onto the temple building measures 16 feet (5 m) in depth. There is no courtyard. The flush-gable roof is in the traditional Yingshan style with the ridge 16.5 feet (5 m.) high while the eaves are 11.1 feet (3.4 m) high. The building is constructed of brick walls that have been plastered and painted grey. The couplets in Chinese characters on the gate may be translated as: "The loop of the universe represses the evil and the wheel of wind and fire brings blessings and peace". Na Tcha is often depicted as flying in the sky with a wheel of fire under each of his feet, a golden hoop, the so-called "cosmic ring", around his shoulder and a spear in his hands. He is usually depicted as a youngster. There are few decorations although there a paintings on the walls under the entrance porch. In 2005, the temple became one of the designated sites of the Historic Centre of Macau that is included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. While the Na Tcha Chinese Temple appears to be small and humble when compared with the adjacent structures, it possesses a distinctive dignity. Visitors are welcome in any of the temples of Macau. Remember, as informal as the temples seem, they are all houses of devotion where courtesy and respect should be shown. The temples are financed solely by the contributions of the faithful and donations are welcome. The juxtaposition of the Na Tcha Temple with the ruins of St. Paul on one side, the old city walls on the other, certainly border's on the surreal. However, in many ways, it can stand as evidence of the fusion of cultures and traditions that makes Macau such an interesting place to visit.

The Na Tcha Temple rests at the side of the Ruins of St. Paul, back behind the facade. Its located next to the remains of the Old City Wall, both of which form part of the Macau World Heritage collection.
Na Tcha Temple was build in 1888, making it one of Macau's younger temples. It is an interesting temple, dedicated to Na Tcha, a local folklore God of War unique to Macau. While the temple itself is quite tiny, its worth a quick look inside.
You can also enter an exhibition room found right inside the Old City Wall space. Here you can see a few displays with traditional temple fixtures and decor as well as illustrations on the back wall providing the tale of God of War, Na Tcha. This is interesting to see and helps provide context as to what you are seeing when visiting Na Tcha Temple.
Overall, this is a minor priority visit for those checking out Macau's World Heritage attractions but you can comfortably visit in 10-15 minutes only so its worth a quick look-see if you are in the area.

The Na Tcha Temple and Old City Walls is just a 2 walk from the famous Ruins of St. Paul's, the temple & city wall is so small that you can easily missed it presence. I been there few times and I missed twice as the focus is always the Ruins of St. Paul's. The temple & city wall is just next to each other, so simple yet attractive in its own way. The Na Tcha Temple and Old City Walls is listed in UNESCO World Heritage. Do do remember to visit it when you are visiting the Ruins of St. Paul's.

A few mornings ago we stopped by Na Tcha Temple (Dasanba Natuo Miao) and the Old City Walls. These two attractions together can be visited in just a few minutes, we saw both during a brief stop after watching the start of the Chinese New Year dragon parade at the nearby Ruins of St. Paul.
This temple is very small and is located just a couple minutes walk up the side of St. Pauls (left side when facing the Fascade) so its potentially worth your time to stop by, particularly if you are trying to visit the various World Heritage inclusions of the City Centre of Macau.
Overall, its of less interest and importance compared to the more famous attractions in the area. But, it is so close to St. Paul's, you might as well have a look.

This temple was constructed in 1888 and dedicated to Na Tcha, the child god of war. It is a small, simple temple with a steady flow of Chinese who come to pray and burn incense. Not really worth making a special trip to see it, but if you are ate the ruins of St. Pauls you will find it by walking to the left of the temple, just at the rear.

How to read Hindu Newspaper for IAS Exam?
Daily reading of newspapers has a decisive role in tackling examinations especially the Hindu Newspaper for IAS Exam (UPSC CSE). Apart from various local and national dailies available in India, THE HINDU Newspaper is thechoice for IAS aspirants. It is the most preferred newspaper for UPSC aspirants due to its high standards. Apart from standard IAS Books, most of the questions are triggered by this daily national.
The Hindu Newspaper is encompassed with 15 pages on average along with supplements. Aspirants find it as a quite cumbersome task to cover this newspaper daily and coordinate with the UPSC Syllabus. Interestingly, it is not necessary to read in-depth each and everything perhaps we can skip and skim different news.
How to read the Hindu Newspaper for IAS Exam?
It is critically important that you should know the syllabus before you start your reading. First of all, correlate your syllabus with the various articles in the Hindu newspaper. However, spending too much time reading newspapers cannot be encouraged. Because of the fact that aspirants have a lot to cover apart from the newspaper. It is advisable to spend around 60 to 75 minutes on an average every day on reading 'The Hindu Newspaper'. Once you become familiar with the syllabus, start to prepare notes while reading itself.
Tips to complete reading the Hindu Newspaper in an hour
Page 1: This page consists of main news so just skim this news to get awareness regarding the various happenings. Don't spend too much time reading this page.
Page 2-6: It is advisable to skip these pages because the news in these are not important from the UPSC point of view. The second and third page consists of regional news whereas fourth to sixth pages includes state news.
Page 7: This is an important page as it covers national news. Furthermore, give more importance to this page as it deals with supreme court verdicts, parliamentary debates various government orders and bills.
Page 8: Editorial of the Hindu Newspaper
This can be considered as the backbone of the Hindu Newspaper reading for a civil service aspirant. It is the editorial page and spent maximum time in reading two editorials on the left side followed by the lead article. This will give an overview of the current issues. Although, including letters to the editor as this enable you to view an issue from a different perspective. But be careful not to get biased with various views and opinions.
Page 9: This is otherwise known as a perspective page or OP-EN page. In this page, an author, who is not associated with the editorial board expresses his views in relation to current issues. Go through this page to get an overview of current issues in a different manner.
Page 10-11: There is no need to go in depth as these pages contain general news like political news and issues. However, read superficially to have an idea regarding various happenings.
Page 12: The World page consists of matters relating to international relationships. So give more importance to it.
Page 13-14: Business page, spent some time on this page because it deals with fiscal and monetary policy. Emphasize on articles pertaining to socioeconomic issues in relation to women, children, health, etc.
Page 15: Sports are not obvious for civil service preparation.
Do not ignore Science and Technology edition on Thursday's Hindu Newspaper. It consists of recent developments in the field of science and many questions can be asked from here.
Ignore these:

4 Affordable IT Asset Disposal Best Practices
The thought of disposing IT assets may sound stressful and expensive but contrary to popular belief, it isn't. In fact, there are IT asset disposal best practices that save your organization a lot of money. Find out how you can implement these practices to start saving money.
Did you know that due to lack of proper IT asset disposition, the U.S throws away $60 million worth of gold, silver and other precious metals annually? Parts from old computers contain precious metals that can be recycled but are often discarded. Investing in proper IT asset disposal best practices can help businesses save a lot of money. So if you're ready to start saving some serious money, keep reading to learn which IT asset disposal best practices will help you achieve this goal.
1. Securely Destroy Data On Old Devices
One of the most important IT asset disposal best practices is the secure destruction of data. In 2017 alone, companies in the United States spent up to $60.4 billion on cybersecurity just to protect data. However, unwiped-data from disposed IT assets is one type of data breach that gets overlooked.
When a person deletes data from an electronic device, it doesn't leave the hard drive and can still be accessed. However, secure data destruction using specialized software and hard drive shredding can be done by experts in the IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) industry.
Poor data disposal can lead to loss of money through fines, lawsuits and customer distrust. In 2015, TalkTalk had a breach in which the personal information of 157,000 customers was stolen. The perpetrators also stole more than 15,000 bank account details and the company was fined $580,000. Nobody wants a situation where strangers can easily access their data for identity theft and other illegal activities.
If there's one thing that can totally devastate a company, it's a breach of private data. It would be disastrous for a data leak to occur due to carelessness after spending so much on cybersecurity. Paying attention to IT asset disposition will save your organization a lot of money in the long-run.
2. Recycle Old Company Computers, Phones and Printers
Electronic waste is one of the fastest growing streams of waste in the United States. According to the EPA, E-waste production grew from 680,000 metric tons to over 2,500,000 metric tons in just 20 years. To combat this, the government imposed taxes. This means the more e-waste you dispose in landfills, the more taxes you will have to pay. In the long run, the government will charge your organization a lot more for waste disposal.
What's more, several states in the U.S have enacted laws that make it illegal to dispose e-waste in landfills. This means that the government will fine organizations huge amounts for breaking those laws. Recycling, thus, will save you a lot of money in fines! It will also help your organization build an eco-friendly reputation, which can only help your brand. Clearly, instead of throwing such assets away, you should call a certified electronics recycling company to recycle them!
3. Remarket Used IT Assets
Asset remarketing involves refurbishing and selling old assets to other organizations that may need them. According to the USITC, the U.S market for used electronic products was worth $19.2 billion in 2011 and continues to grow. Capitalizing on this can be profitable for your organization. You can remarket IT assets like computers according to their age and current working conditions. If they still work, then you can sell them through an IT asset disposition company that will fetch the best price for them.
Remarketing is one of the most significant IT asset disposal best practices because it reduces e-waste output. However, if not done properly, you risk letting your old data fall into the wrong hands. This is why you must hire a certified ITAD company like All Green Recycling.
4. Hire a Certified IT Asset Disposition Vendor
All the IT asset disposal best practices discussed all come under hiring certified IT disposition companies. The ITAD industry is estimated to have an annual growth rate of 7.1% between 2016 and 2026. This means that more companies offering IT asset disposal services will be available to meet the needs of organizations. However, the onus lies on businesses to seek out the most reliable firms to hire.
All Green Recycling has a wealth of experience in IT asset disposition services including, but not limited to, electronic waste recycling and secure data destruction. To make disposition more convenient for clients, we have more than 100 free drop-off locations spanning across every state. All Green Recycling can also arrange pick-up as well as on-site data destruction.
Have you recently used any of these IT asset disposition best practices? Let us know in the comment section and we will respond.

Reminder from Spike Jones: Nobody Trusts You
Originally posted by Spike Jones, Featured Speaker at Social Fresh Charlotte, on the Brains on Fire blog
Did you know that:
76% of Americans think companies LIE in ads. (2009 Yankelovich Study)
77% of Americans trust companies less in 2009 than they did in 2008. (2009 Edelman Trust Barometer)
Americans trust that businesses will do what is right has dropped from 58% to 38%. (2009 Edelman Trust Barometer)
We all know that people trust people. People they know. People buy people first. But what constitutes "knowing" someone? You can chat with someone all day long on Twitter, but do you really "know" them? Do you trust them? Enough to make a financial investment? And even though you're using social media to participate in the conversation, you're still a company. And as you see from the stats above, you're still not trusted.
Why?
It could be that you're still towing the company line. It could be that social media, with all its wonders, allows people to become whomever they want you to think they are. And you can't see the lies until you spend some time and dig down. It could be that people are naturally skeptical. It could be a lot of things.
The movements we create are created by the people, for the people and people (most of the time customers) run the show. We do it for a lot of reasons, but the biggest one is that people trust people "just like me." It's not a top-down, push kinda thing. It's just people connecting with people.
Trust is very hard to earn and very easy to lose. It takes time to build and is not a physical line item on a P&L sheet. But boy, does that P&L sheet reflect it.
People might like you, but that doesn't mean they trust you. So what are ya gonna do about it?]]> | eng | 5f64e71e-eb1b-4887-afc2-a306181ce1db | https://socialfresh.com/reminder-from-spike-jones-nobody-trusts-you/ |
RTX 3000 Series Micro Center Discussion & FAQ!
Comments
@Punisher and @NickRH199 At this point it seems like that's what they're suggesting. I did exactly this, going to the store, last Saturday. I was first in line and was met with the exact same type of response as here on the forums. That not a single person has any clue of anything that is going on. They told me shipments just arrive at random moments in the day and if I wanted a card I'd have to wait at the store. I'll be honest, I kind of lost my patience then and there and told the rep he can't expect me to wait at MC all day waiting for another FedEx truck to show up, and that's assuming one even shows up at all. I have other things going on in my life like a girlfriend, a job, a family, and my dog. I don't have the capacity to just dedicate days of my life to waiting inside or outside of a door, and I personally don't believe anyone should be allowed to do that at all, camping out for days at a time during launches. It just creates an unfair system where people who are as avid of gamers as those who would camp out at a store days ahead of a launch don't have the benefit of at least trying to enjoy a new product on launch day just because they have other commitments in life that they value greatly. But right now it feels like MC is creating the expectation that if you really want a 3080 that bad right now then you need to start camping out at the store, check in every half hour or so, and always be the first one there when the store opens every single day, because not a single person has any idea what is going on. I love gaming and I'm willing to show up early THE NIGHT BEFORE, not days freaking ahead of launch, for a game I really am excited for or a product I'm really excited for. But I also love my family, my significant other, my dog, and my job. I know MC isn't explicitly advising we do this - though it feels like it's being strongly hinted at by everyone - but I'm not gonna spend my days waiting at the store for something that I don't even know if it's gonna arrive.
I guess to finish off my rant, I don't think even after all this blows over I'll be going back to MC. I might do the occasional visit but my experience with the chain has just left a really bad taste in my mouth. There is a very clear lack of communication with their customers and right now the only thing keeping my tied to MC is the fact that I have a dead GPU with a warranty on it that I was hoping to use for the 3080 instead of just immediately replacing it with the same GPU or a different when that's not current. But after that, I don't really wish to come back to MC. I went to the Chicago store this past Saturday to make an attempt at getting a 3080. I was first in line and there had to have been at least 20 or so people behind me - I assume for the same reason, if not for the 3090. Managers had showed up about three or four hours before the store opened and staff were slowly trickling in from there. Not once did it occur anyone to tell all these people waiting that there weren't any 3080s on the shelves. Maybe they were relying on the "3080/90 sold out" signs they had posted all over the store windows, but with the conflicting information we've been getting between the forums, what the reps say, and what other people's experiences with MC have been, it's really hard to tell whether the sold out signs are being truthful. Regardless, once the store opened we all looked for the 3080s and they were nowhere to be found. I wasn't mad or upset. I knew that was a very real possibility. But I thought my visit wouldn't be all that pointless if I managed to gather some more information from someone at the store, instead of the frequent automated messages and replies I got from whatever text based messaging system MC has. I spoke to a rep, asked about the 3080, and he matter of factly pointed at a sold out sign on the wall and told me the 3080s are sold out. Knowing very well what my answer was gonna be at that point, 'cause I could tell this rep just did not want to be bothered about the 3080s, I asked anyway when they will have another shipment. And that's when the whole waiting forever at MC conversation started. I really lost my patience when I asked why they couldn't just be honest about whether or not they're getting shipments because everyone is saying conflicting things, between my communications with the national line, the text messaging, and the forums, and he told me in a smart ass tone, "Well if I said the cards are coming on this or that day, well then I'd be a liar." Needless to say, I needed to end the conversation at that point because I was infuriated so I just told the rep "Ok" and left the store disappointed. Not so much because I didn't get a 3080, but more so because I left more confused than ever on what to do with regards to getting a 3080 from MC and because it seems like the reps at MC have a habit of talking to people condescendingly. I once asked through text when was the last time they received a shipment, 'cause I figured maybe I could just use that to kind of gauge when shipments are being received between the launch and whatever date they give me to at least estimate when it would be worth going to MC to try and get a 3080. But the response I got was just a very obviously automated, "Thank you for contacting MC...we don't have an ETA on shipments...please visit forums, etc." Maybe it's the pandemic, maybe it's the stress of dealing with a huge demand for a product, but I've been on that side of the retail before and I've dealt with customers who you can look at and objectively agree, "Yeah that person was being a real jerk," and I don't honestly believe I've ever in my entire life been that type of customer in any place I go to. If anything, I'll be frank I have a habit of not really speaking up for myself and letting others walk over me. I more or less understand the limitations of things, that's why I haven't really been all too upset that I don't have a 3080 'cause I knew that could be a very real possibility and I don't really place blame on anyone for that, except I guess Nvidia because they really screwed everyone over. But it would've been nice to have some more transparency. So I don't know, that experience, on top of reports that there's something wrong with the 3080s, on top of conflicting information from every source, has just left a really bad taste in my mouth. At this point I've kinda given up on getting a 3080, my excitement for it is virtually nonexistent now, and I don't really feel comfortable returning to MC. If anything, like I said, I'll probably just return so I can use the warranty I have on my dead GPU and then be done completely with all of this.
I live about 40 minutes away from the only MC in Michigan, the fastest route is covered in construction work. I've gone 3 times in the past two weeks, once around noon and was told 3 cards came in randomly around 11am and then twice I went at opening to 0 cards coming in. It would be awesome if I could text my actual local store to see if any cards have come in for the day instead of BS "go to your nearest store for information". Sorry but I can't drive 40 minutes there each day and wait around, I'm one of the lucky people who still has a job right now.
I truly cannot fathom why there isn't a pre-order system in place. Let us put down a deposit for a card and when it is our turn, we get 24 hours to pick it up or else your name goes to the bottom of the list. 1 freaking person could manage that, I've seen multiple employees standing around doing absolutely nothing but talk to each other, ya'll are not at busy as you think you are.
@Holo88 I think that the potential for abuse in any sort of written system would be too great to make it fair. for everyone as there is nothing stopping the employee from moving a friend to the front of the list. It would have to be something electronic with the only editing options being something like picked up or canceled (and canceled would have to require the person to login so they just can't randomly cancel people). I'd say a preorder system that is run entirely by corporate and it would have to be aware of what comes into the stores to monitor any shenanigans going on at store level.
@TSMichaelB I was not referring to how many were ordered vs how many actually get sent to the store, I'm referring to how many are shipped to the stores in general. There is usually some sort of paperwork getting sent electronically like a bill of lading or an invoice saying Product Widget: Ordered 100 Sent 2. Then you at least know that 2 are on the way (and usually with tracking) Even forgetting them being sent ahead of time, they still get paperwork when they are received and we are still told that nobody knows what's in the boxes at all and won't know until they have time to actually unbox everything. Even then, check the paperwork and say yep, we confirmed they didn't come in, or yep x amount came in but we do not know when we will get to them (because I understand that in cases where everything is just mixed in multiple boxes you don't know what's in each individual box until you open it) This would be different for 10 boxes labeled EVGA that just came off of Fed Ex for example as you could then know more specifically if cards are in them.. I could also understand that yes they are in receiving but we don't know when they will be processed. Also, even between managers, I can't get a consistent answer. One says all deliveries arrive before the store opens and another r says they happen throughout the day. This inconsistency is not just for the 3080's... I can't even get the same answer twice when I ask about your warranties. So I don't know if the employees in general are told to just give random answers when you don't know or if the entire store needs to be retrained.
Hello! I'm a student at SMU Guildhall studying Simulation and game art. I've finally had a chance to put together a pc with specs capable of fast processing of the software I use for design, including working on the new UE5 when it comes out. It's currently sitting and waiting with an empty graphics slot. My question is how can I guarantee getting my hands on the 3070 before everyone tries to snatch them for resale. I know you guys said no lines but I just want to know if I park and wait hours before the store opens will I have a fighting chance before people shove through the door on opening?
I've been waiting outside for a card for over a week now waiting for the 3080 stock, hoping every morning they get stock, to afraid to leave my spot in line just in case they get more. Hopefully they don't start charging me rentThey wouldn't hold his spot in line so he could go to the bathroom. I guess it's every man for himself. So he did what he had to do inside of his tent. Now it stinks bad.
II'm really getting sick of the mile long posts from people upset at MicroCenter, because they are choosing with their own free will to drive somewhere, or wait in a line, for a 1% chance they might get lucky.
Just stop! If you're the type of Karen/Ken who is going to turn that into someone else' fault, just stop. Stop crying about it here. Stop showing up at stores every morning. Wait for them to be regularly in stock, then pick one up. No one is making you race to be the first to get one.
And to the guy who is SO upset that he just "won't be able to return to MC after all this blows over"; come on now. Unless someone starts NannoCenter across the street, you'll be back the next time you want something shiny. There's no brick and mortar alternative. Empty threats don't help anyone, and your Individual money isn't THAT important.
I haven't been waiting every single morning - this was the first and only time I've waited due to them saying LIMITED AVAILABILITY on their own website. If you don't know how many are going to be available, why deceptively put that on your public website when you 100% know how popular these cards are and aren't sure how many you'll be receiving? Also, I was just asking for communication from the manager when they realized they had only 1 instead of allowing everyone to wait in line for 30+ minutes for no reason at all and just telling everyone 5 minutes before store opening. A sign on the door saying there might be only one available would have gone a long way as well. Communication is critical here and there was none. Appreciate your helpful commentary @Brad_Isnard.
HeyI have been following this thread for a while and haven't replied but I just wanted to add that I arrived at the Columbus microcenter this morning at 9am.... no one there outside but the guy washing the windows, and an employee came out and greeted me within a few minutes of me arriving to let me know that they had received one 3080 and handed me a voucher for it. He didn't know which one it was off the top of his head but I was tickled to have the voucher and wait to see which model it was. Now I've already kind of made up my mind that, at present, there are only a few models I'd be willing to buy, and unfortunately the model they had in was a PNY 3080, so I passed on the card and let another guy that came to wait after I did, and stuck around just in case they had more come up have the opportunity. I'm happy to wait for the model I want, and I hope the gentleman that got the PNY 3080 enjoys it! I'm not qualified to say the PNY is bad or good, I'm just not familiar with it and in the moment didn't want to spend that much money on something I haven't had the chance to research enough to feel comfortable buying. The point is, my 1060 will "work" till the 3080s are in good enough supply to get the one I want. I hope people can realize this too and not take it out on the microcenter staff for the scarce availability , I know others may have had bad experiences, but save for a few case fans and an OS I have bought all my pc hardware at microcenter over the last 15 years or so because of the level of knowledge, sincerity, and customer service I have experienced at the Columbus store. Every time I go there I have a good time and am taken care of. Now, I've been there probably 8 times this month, few times sorting out new of build, and 3080 hunting and from what I've seen the staff are doing the best they can with the 3080s and I'll be happy to keep going back until they get the one I want in stock. Good luck to everyone hunting one, and thank you to all the microcenter staff!That's fine, but if any come into a store tonight, how would anyone know so they can get in line the next day?Local stores don't answer the phone, so there's your first mistake.
Second mistake is calling at all. They have a central call center with no pertinent info about 3080/90s.
There's already a line for the 3070, this is nuts. The guy said the line for the 3090 started twice as early as the 3080, so he figured the line for the 3070 would start twice as early as the 3090, so he got in line. He also said the 70 class cards are the most popular and are the card most people will get so he got in line already.

Nov 15 · Under extreme pressures, matter defies the rules of physics as we know it. Physicists have a pretty good handle on how stuff behaves on the surface of the Earth. But a lot of matter in the universe exists outside this narrow band of relatively low temperatures and pressures. Inside planets and stars, the crushing force of gravity begins to overwhelm the electromagnetic and nuclear forces that keep atoms apart and maintain the shapes of molecules. What happens next? Scientists (including a consortium of researchers at the National Science Foundation's Center for Matter at Atomic Pressures??) are just starting to figure that out. They use a variety of tools (including some ...Read more ...
Oct 15 · It's a bedbug's world now. We're just sleeping in it. The biodiversity crisis, explained On a brisk morning last month, the deputy mayor of Paris, Emmanuel Grégoire, stood in front of a French TV camera with a serious look on his face and said: "No one is safe." He wasn't talking about the threat of climate change or some frightening new virus. He was talking about bedbugs. For the blissfully unaware, bedbugs are small wingless insects that bite humans and feast on our blood, often at night. They find us by sensing the carbon dioxide in our breath and our body heat.

The disaster declaration helped unlock federal aid for Maui, adding to Hawaii's emergency stores another 50,000 meals, 10,000 blankets, and $700 cash for survivors in the immediate aftermath. But questions around the response at every level of government continue to mount. Many of the disaster's survivors have said the assistance was slow to arrive, ...Read more ...
Aug 14 · Including how you can help. The outbreak of wildfires last week in Maui, Hawaii - a state known for its beaches and rainforests but typically not fire - is now the nation's deadliest such event in more than 100 years. The fires burned thousands of acres and killed nearly 100 people, a greater death toll than any wildfire in California, where summer blazes are common. Hundreds remain missing in Maui, and the death toll is expected to rise. "This is the largest natural disaster in our history," Hawaii Gov. Josh Green said, referring to Hawaii, in a statement Sunday. "It is a harrowing site in Maui." Images show that much of Lahaina, a historic town on Maui's west ...Read more ...
Aug 11 · Oppenheimer's Trinity Site is where the end began. To reach the spot where the nuclear age was born and human history swung, turn off of Route 380 at Stallion Gate on the northern edge of the US Army's White Sands Missile Range, not far from the tiny desert town of Socorro, New Mexico. Drive through the flat, dry, empty scrub the Spanish called Jornada del Muerto, or the Journey of Death, ringed at the horizon by the Sierra Oscura, the Dark Mountains. After 17 miles or so you'll reach a vast parking lot that stands largely empty much of the year. Walk past a mangled 200-ton steel tube called Jumbo, and stand before a stone obelisk mined from nearby volcanic rock. The ...Read more ...
Aug 9 · A large hurricane, drought, and perhaps even invasive grasses are fueling devastating fires in Hawaii. This week, several wildfires have engulfed parts of the Hawaiian island of Maui in flames, killing several people, burning multiple homes and businesses, and forcing more than a dozen people to flee into the ocean for safety. Numerous fires - which have so far burned hundreds of acres in Hawaii - have scorched parts of Lahaina, the largest city on the west side of the island, all but destroying a popular tourist strip. Hospitals are overrun with burn patients, thousands of people have lost power, and as of Wednesday morning, 911 service was down. "We have suffered ...Read more ...
Aug 9 · A large hurricane, drought, and perhaps even invasive grasses have fueled the devastating fires in Hawaii. Earlier this week several wildfires engulfed parts of the Hawaiian island of Maui, killing at least 55 people, burning more than 1,000 structures, and forcing people to flee into the ocean for safety. The brush fires burned hundreds of acres in Hawaii and utterly decimated Lahaina, the tourism heart of the island and the largest city in its west. Hospitals are overrun with burn patients, thousands of people have lost power, and as of Wednesday morning, 911 service was down in part of the island. "We have suffered a terrible disaster," Hawaii Gov. Josh Green ...Read more ...
Aug 7 · The superconductor frenzy, explained. For the past several days, I've been frantically reloading Twitter accounts to try to learn as much as possible about LK-99, the purported room-temperature, ambient-pressure superconductor a team of physicists based in South Korea claim to have identified. This is maybe a week after I learned what a superconductor is, or why it matters that it's at room temperature or ambient pressure. But within days I went from near-total ignorance to utter glee at the possibilities the technology promises. Provided, of course, it's real. You, too, can take this journey from ignorance to giddiness. The details of how to make and investigate ...Read more ...
Aug 7 · Some types of air pollution slow global warming - but at the cost of millions of deaths a year. "The smoke is very thick, like a dark mushroom in the sky," said reporter Gus Abelgas in a 1991 television broadcast on the ongoing volcanic eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines. "It's just like what we saw in Hiroshima." After 500 years of dormancy, Mount Pinatubo's June explosion represented one of the largest volcanic events of the 20th century. The eruption forced approximately 30,000 indigenous Aeta people to evacuate the nearby area and killed over 200 people. (An additional 426 people died in the three months following the explosion due to poor conditions in ...Read more ...
Aug 2 · Oceans are at record high temperatures, but El Niño is keeping a lid on tropical storms in the Atlantic. Hot water is the fuel for tropical cyclones like hurricanes and typhoons, and the weather this year has boosted the octane rating of the world's oceans. Water temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean are at the highest levels since at least 1981, and some United States coastal waters, like those around Florida, recently reached hot tub levels of warmth: more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit. As of Tuesday, the National Hurricane Center was tracking one weather system that could possibly lead to a tropical storm. Even if they don't lead to named storms, these systems could ...Read more ...
Jul 28 · Tinder for these insects is actual tinder. The biodiversity crisis, explained For Melanophila beetles, forest fires aren't just hot. They're hot. As flames start ripping through forests, as they often do in the late summer, most animals flee or take refuge for obvious reasons: They don't want to die. But Melanophila beetles flock to the flames and start looking for sex. While the wood is still smoldering, they find a mate and copulate in the heat of the moment. Black and roughly thumbnail-sized, Melanophila are among a small number of species around the world known as fire, or pyrophilous, beetles. They are attracted to flames and depend on fire for their ...Read more ...
Jul 27 · Wildfires can be devastating, but for some animals, they're an opportunity. The biodiversity crisis, explained Summer is only halfway over and wildfires in Canada have already burned roughly 12 million hectares of forest (about 30 million acres). That's an area larger than Ohio and close to double the previous record. These rampant fires are clearly bad for human communities. They have destroyed homes, forced thousands of people to evacuate, and engulfed cities in Canada and the US in smoke, threatening public health. But for many plants and animals, from birds to beetles, fire is not such a potent, existential threat. Creatures in Canada and beyond have ...Read more ...
Jul 26 · Heat records will keep falling. Our guide on why it's so hot, how to stay cool, and climate solutions. Filed under: Record-breaking heat is scorching different parts of the globe. Fueled by climate change and a global weather event called El Niño, this summer is especially hot. Oceans all around the world have seen extraordinarily high average temperatures. And as summer sets in, the temperature will continue to climb. June 2023 was the warmest June on planet Earth since record-keeping began in 1850, according to the nonprofit group Berkeley Earth. But this heat is not surprising. As hot as the weather has been, it may be one of the cooler years of the rest of our ...Read more ...
Jul 26 · Temperature records are falling around the world, but those records aren't equally meaningful. Like an overturned truck that had been carrying vinyl LPs, 2023 is overflowing with broken records. The Atlantic Ocean's surface temperature is at a record high for this time of year while Antarctic sea ice is at a record low for the season. Earth just broke records for its hottest day and hottest June, and is poised to experience its hottest July. Countries like China, India, and Spain set new record highs, while Greece and Italy are likely to set their own records this month. The bottom of the scale is rising too: Phoenix, Arizona, set its highest low temperature on record ...Read more ...
Jul 17 · 13 questions about bird flu, answered. In the last two years, more than half a billion birds have died globally. The cause isn't deforestation or climate change or the destruction of grasslands - all of which are contributing to the precipitous decline of wild birds - but avian influenza, i.e., bird flu. The majority of these birds were farmed chickens and turkeys; as the virus, known as H5N1, began circulating among poultry flocks in the US, Europe, and elsewhere, farmers started culling a record number of birds to stop the pathogen from spreading. Yet what's unusual about this virus is that it's also been spreading rapidly among wild birds and even mammals, such ...Read more ...
Jul 13 · Climate risks are becoming increasingly expensive. Not just locally, but globally. An estimated 11 million people across the northeastern US are under flood risks or warnings this week after historic levels of rainfall - 1-in-1,000-year events - swept through New England, with rivers in Vermont and New York's Hudson Valley overflowing and turning town streets into waterways. Flash flooding killed at least one person in New York, and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul confirmed several more people are missing. On Tuesday, President Joe Biden declared a state of emergency in Vermont, where, according to Gov. Phil Scott, thousands of residents have lost their homes and ...Read more ...
Jul 13 · Antarctica isn't immune to the recent heat baking much of the planet. It could affect the rest of the world. Temperature records are falling around the world as a strong El Niño brews in the Pacific Ocean and summer rises in the Northern Hemisphere. The planet recently experienced the hottest day and hottest June ever recorded. But some of the most alarming heat right now is occurring far away from most of humanity in Antarctica, where it's currently winter. The World Meteorological Organization reported last week that sea ice is at record low levels around Antarctica, 17 percent below the average for this time of year. Sea ice expands and shrinks with the seasons and ...Read more ...
Jul 12 · One of them rhymes with shmimate range. In the next few days, temperatures in parts of the American Southwest could approach 120 degrees Fahrenheit, potentially breaching existing heat records and endangering human lives. Summer is always warm, but this is already among the hottest ones ever. In early July, several days set global (albeit unofficial) temperature records. Last month was the warmest June on planet Earth since record-keeping began in 1850, according to the nonprofit group Berkeley Earth. And it's not just the air that's baking; the oceans are exceptionally hot, too. Why is all this heat happening now? Global weather cycles as well as long-term trends ...Read more ...
Jul 11 · Climate change is contributing to heavier precipitation, a major factor in flooding. Parts of the United States's eastern seaboard have been hit with massive floods in recent weeks, a phenomenon that's expected to grow more common - and worse - as climate change warms the planet. "It's worse than a new normal. I call it a new abnormal," says University of Pennsylvania climate scientist Michael Mann. On Tuesday, Vermont was the site of heavy flooding that trapped people in their homes and shut down roads. Earlier this week, New York's Hudson Valley similarly experienced torrential rains that led to severe flood warnings. Nationally, 11 million people remain under ...Read more ...

Jul 5 · Heat waves like those in Texas and Europe are likely to get worse on the whole, not better. Surprise! This summer is extremely hot. How hot? July 4 was the hottest day on Earth since record-keeping began more than 40 years ago, according to scientists at the University of Maine's Climate Reanalyzer project. As Americans grilled burgers and set off fireworks, the global average temperature reached 62.9 degrees Fahrenheit (17.2 degrees Celsius). And that's just the average - this week in New York City the heat index neared 100 degrees. That's nothing compared to the 120-degree temperatures that baked parts of Texas in late June, smashing dozens of records, straining ...Read more ...
Jul 1 · Fast-moving air 8 miles in the sky is pinning hot air over the South, driving the heat index into triple digits. The South is no stranger to heat, but the temperatures and humidity right now are testing even the hardiest denizens of Dixie as the hot weather stretches into a third week. The heat wave along the Gulf Coast, stretching over Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, New Mexico, Texas, and Mexico, is straining the limits of infrastructure and human survival. According to the National Weather Service, extreme heat is the number one weather-related killer in the US. The recent weather has already proven dangerous and deadly in places like Texas, which ...Read more ...
Jul 1 · The burger-sized hole in climate change coverage, explained. Last weekend, Elon Musk posted one of his more outrageously false tweets to date: "Important to note that what happens on Earth's surface (eg farming) has no meaningful impact on climate change." Musk was, as he has been from time to time, wrong. As climate experts rushed to emphasize, farming actually accounts for around a quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions. Before you add this to your list of criticisms of Musk, know that if you're anything like the average person - or Musk himself - you too probably underestimate just how much agriculture, especially meat and dairy production, contributes to ...Read more ...
Jun 29 · What the history of nuclear arms can - and can't - tell us about the future of AI. If you spend enough time reading about artificial intelligence, you're bound to encounter one specific analogy: nuclear weapons. Like nukes, the argument goes, AI is a cutting-edge technology that emerged with unnerving rapidity and comes with serious and difficult to predict risks that society is ill-equipped to handle. The heads of AI labs OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind, as well as researchers like Geoffrey Hinton and Yoshua Bengio and prominent figures like Bill Gates, signed an open letter in May making the analogy explicitly, stating: "Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI ...Read more ...
Jun 28 · 8 things you should know about the number that measures bad air. It's not enough to trust the senses to know when it's a bad air day. Well before you can see or smell smoke, it can start wreaking havoc on the lungs. That haze you can see and smell on a particularly polluted day is made of ozone and fine particulate matter. Fine particulate matter, known as PM2.5 (the 2.5 microns describes its size, 30 times smaller than the width of a human hair) can embed in the cells of the lung and the bloodstream, aggravating inflammation, asthma, heart disease, and mental health. And ozone causes similar damage. In the stratosphere, ozone blocks ultraviolet radiation from the ...Read more ... | eng | f4f0bb56-e893-48e4-81b4-4722c14d553f | https://myccnews.org/PreviewFromLink.aspx?HideCloseButton=No&ListCnt=40&OrgID=6438 |
to follow up my remarks, This article came out in March of 2022, not just recently. Sorry for the mistake. My lack of response to any and all therapies may not be same for everyone. I have heard that exosomes have helped alot of patients, and Dr Patterson claims cures for a combination of miraviroc and pravastatin. I was with Dr. Patterson initially but miraviroc and pravastatin did not do anything for me except mask the symptoms. So I moved to Dr. Kory and am being treated by his staff now. I don't want to dampen anybody's hope, and the batch I got may have been lethal whereas other batches were not, so I am speaking about my own situation only. I have heard that patients of Dr Jackson have made recoveries with exosomes. I am going again for exosomes, but I am alarmed by the analysis of the Wuhan virologists on Igor Chudov's substack. These are scientists who know what they are seeing and analyzing. Again, I don't think the Chinese had anything to do with this, otherwise they wouldn't have analyzed the virus and made the conclusions they did.
I have to say the exosomes wore off eventually and after reading the article that just came out, written by the collective virologists at the Wuhan lab, the covid virus works the same way HIV does, and uses the same pathways. It's a detailed and highly technical analysis of the virus and leaves me to conclude that the Chinese had nothing to do with this. They're the scapegoats for Washington. Unfortunately my symptoms are progressing into a wasting disease despite heavy workouts and huge calorie intakes. I don't think there's any way out of this, and FLCCC doctors are just trying to delay the inevitable....I know it sounds bleak but the analysis is conclusive. I have tried HBOT, stem cells, every nutraceutical in the sink, and the sink itself, and nothing can turn this process around. It's a well-engineered bioweapon with a slow kill. Recall that HIV depopulated entire regions and countries in Africa in the 90's. And Fauci claimed HIV jumped from Green Monkeys. This is the same scenario, except the engineering is obvious to any researcher who takes a good look at the structures of Covid. The vaccine itself is not mentioned in the paper, but the shots loaded the body with far more massive amounts of virus to kill t-cells and thus strip the immune system. The article is analyzed and summarized on Igor Chudov's substack. Igorchudov.substack.com
Your article says the numbers cannot be questioned because they are published in the BMJ. But I'm confused by the conclusion of that cited publication, which reads thus:
". These findings should provide reassurance to rheumatologists and vaccine recipients and promote confidence in SARS-CoV-2 vaccine safety in I-RMD patients."
Thank you for finding this Dr. and letting us hear what he has been personally dealing with. Keep digging. I just watched Shawshank Redemption. There is justice, when you keep on digging and bring it to the surface! Like a pot of homemade soup being stirred and skimming off the scum at the top so the nourishment can be served.
Given that the Government admits that the Rubella vaccine causes Rheumatoid arthritis and will compensate for it through the Vaccine court, I find it astonishing that the Rheumatoid specialist would say that other vaccines have not contributed to this condition.
I lost my career. I have antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and have had a stroke. My employer doesn't think this is a legit reason to accommodate me. I'll be bringing my case to the human rights tribunal
The August article from the link seems like a deception of words... Please tell me if the Pfizer vaccines are really approved. My understanding is that the same stuff is in the "Comirnaty" label and is approved and that it is unavailable in the US, but that the Pfizer here is not approved except for EUA. | eng | 75a44782-6e06-4485-938a-4c2bf711ca49 | https://kirschsubstack.com/p/rheumatologist-robert-jackson-40/comments |

Powering Learning Through a Sustainable Kitchen
The Arbor School is building towards a carbon neutral on-site kitchen, and instilling a sustainable healthy food culture at its Al Furjan Campus this academic year, with the launch of its unique farm-to-fork canteen concept, The Farmhouse at Arbor.
Designed to provide its pupils with the maximum brain power for learning, and to spread a healthy lifestyle message amongst its student community, The Farmhouse at Arbor will deliver a seasonal lunch and snack menu from a sustainable kitchen, created from the highest quality, locally sourced and organic ingredients.
Chef Anna Maria Herreras
Principal at The Arbor School, Brett Girven commented on the launch of the concept saying: "The Arbor School offers a unique teaching experience that is rooted in ecological awareness, which we want to implement in all aspects of the school. We're in a great position to be able to grow our own produce on the school campus and work with a Michelin star chef, Anna Maria Herreras, to bring this project to life. Big changes that really make a difference to the planet are derived from education and awareness, and that is what we are providing to our pupils through The Farmhouse at Arbor canteen concept, so they can go on to make conscious decisions for the planet and themselves."
Chef Herreras commented: "This project is giving us the opportunity to educate Arbor School pupils with the nutritional knowledge they need to not only power their own minds and bodies, but to help the sustainability of the environment too. Our concept is simple but powerful – from farm, to kitchen, to plate. It gives us the opportunity to provide the children with quality food that we've produced on the school site, as well as supporting local farmers."
Serving up three different menu options of nutrient-packed, flavoursome meals to suit all tastebuds, The Farmhouse at Arbor caters to meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans, and includes dishes such as Plum Glazed Salmon with Sticky Rice, Steamed Edamame and Apple Sticks, Kung Pao Chicken with Steamed Snap Peas, Carrot and Pineapple Wedges, Eggplant and Zucchini Potato Pie with Carrot Salad and Slices Pear, Vegetable Paella with Chickpeas, Green Salad and Grapes, Black Bean Falafel with Steamed Rice, Garden Salad, Pita Bread and Orange Wedges and Ratatouille Pasta with Green Salad and Banana.
The Arbor School's forward thinking and unique canteen concept will align with the school's core values of eco-literacy, sustainability and environmental justice, and will make full use of school-grown produce, complemented by the careful sourcing of seasonal ingredients from local and sustainable suppliers.To ensure students stay safe during the Covid-19 pandemic, the meal service will be freshly prepared on-site, hygienically packaged and individually boxed, and will be delivered directly to students in their classrooms | eng | c6fdf064-caf6-4e0f-9124-1d03b48679b3 | https://www.education-uae.com/powering-learning-through-a-sustainable-kitchen/ |
Am I Too Old for Braces?
Traditional orthodontic treatment begins once a child loses all (or at least most) of his/her baby teeth. For this reason, many people associate braces with adolescence, but the reality is that braces aren't just for pre-teens and teens.
Our team of experienced dentists at Supertooth™ are happy to offer orthodontic services to our adult and adolescent patients in Bethesda, Germantown, and Gaithersburg, Maryland.
In this blog, we tackle a common question 一 "Am I too old for braces?" 一 and explore your options for straightening your teeth.
Are you too old for braces?
In a word: no. Even though most people associate braces with kids, you're never too old to receive braces. Orthodontic treatment among adults has risen 40% in the last 10 years, according to the American Association of Orthodontics. That's the equivalent of 1 in 3 orthodontic patients over the age of 18.
What can braces do for you?
Braces can improve the form and function of your mouth. This means that your braces can enhance the look of your smile, but braces can also help your mouth work better too. Braces can straighten out crooked teeth, close gaps, correct crowding, and correct bite issues. Common bite issues include overbite, underbite, crossbite, and open bite.
Orthodontic treatment can be discreet … and easy
When considering orthodontic treatment, one of the biggest concerns is how noticeable your treatment will be. Concerns about feeling self-conscious giving a presentation with metal braces can be off-putting, but your team of providers here at Supertooth understands these concerns. That's why we offer a more discrete orthodontic option: Invisalign® clear aligners. In fact, most Invisalign users are adults. Of the 10 million individuals who wear Invisalign, only 1.4 million are teens.
Discrete treatments
The Invisalign clear aligner system gently shifts your teeth into the ideal position. Each new tray shifts your teeth closer and closer to the desired location. Because the trays are made of clear, soft BPA-free material, they are discrete.
Treatment that works with your schedule
Even though you need to replace your Invisalign tray every 1-2 weeks, you don't have to come into our office each time you need a new tray. This makes the treatment plan work with your busy schedule. Every 6-8 weeks, you'll come into our office for monitoring and to check your progress.
Braces tackle orthodontic issues no matter how old you are
While Invisalign is a hit among adults, you don't have to avoid metal braces. In fact, traditional metal braces might be the right solution for you. While Invisalign can correct mild bite issues, metal braces can tackle more severe bite issues. Correcting bite issues can:
Improve your quality of life
Improve your self-esteem
Restore clearer speech
Make eating more comfortable
Not sure if you need Invisalign or metal braces to address your orthodontic concerns? You'll never have to make this decision alone. Our team reviews your digital scans, performs an oral exam, and discusses all of your orthodontic options with you.

The relationship between Odysseus and Telemachus in Homer's epic poem The Odyssey is a complex and multifaceted one. On the one hand, Odysseus is Telemachus' father, and as such, he is a source of guidance, inspiration, and support for the young man. On the other hand, the two men are separated for much of the poem, with Odysseus away from home, fighting in the Trojan War and then struggling to return to Ithaca.
At the beginning of the poem, Telemachus is a young man who is just beginning to come into his own. He is searching for his identity and trying to understand his place in the world. He is also struggling to find a way to deal with the fact that his father has been gone for so long, and with the suitors who have taken over his home and are trying to win the hand of his mother, Penelope.
In this time of uncertainty and confusion, Telemachus looks to his father as a model and a source of strength. He knows that Odysseus is a great hero, and he hopes to emulate his father's courage and determination. He also knows that Odysseus is a skilled strategist and a clever thinker, and he hopes to learn these skills from his father as well.
As the poem progresses, Telemachus goes on a journey of his own, traveling to different parts of the Mediterranean in search of news of his father. Along the way, he meets a number of people who tell him stories about Odysseus and help him to better understand the man he is trying to find. Through these interactions, Telemachus comes to see his father in a new light, and he begins to develop a deeper appreciation for the many challenges that Odysseus has faced and overcome.
Eventually, after many trials and tribulations, Odysseus returns to Ithaca, and the father and son are reunited. At this point, their relationship has deepened and evolved significantly. Telemachus has grown and matured during his journey, and he is now able to see his father as a full and complex person, rather than just a hero from a distant past. For his part, Odysseus is proud of the man that his son has become and is grateful for the support and loyalty that Telemachus has shown him.
In the end, the relationship between Odysseus and Telemachus is one of mutual respect and admiration. It is a relationship that has been tested and strengthened by the many challenges that the two men have faced together, and it is a relationship that will endure long into the future.

Organic Honey Vs Raw Honey
The organic industry is booming as more people are getting conscious of how different products even the most natural ones are procured and sourced. When a product is labeled as organic, it means that every single process begins from the cultivation of organically grown plants until its packaging has been done without the use of any chemicals.
When we talk about organic honey, it does not necessarily have to be raw and is not always packed with the full nutritional value of raw honey. Organic honey can be raw, minimally processed, or even the regular variety. This is why checking the label in the supermarket store is extremely important to buy the healthiest form of honey.
Honey labels on supermarket shelves – What does each of them mean?
If you do not have a bee farm from where you can obtain honey in its most natural form, you should know the difference between the following honey labels to make the right purchase:
Organic honey:
It means that the bee farm is maintained in an environmentally sustainable manner and there has been no use of pesticides or other chemicals.
For an organic version to be truly chemical-free, the flowers from which the bees suck the nectar have to be organically certified within a 2-mile radius.
The honey collected from these organic farms then undergoes different levels of processing before being sold in the market.
Raw honey:
This is the purely strained form of honey that does not undergo any processing.
It has a very high nutritional value and medicinal properties.
The high antioxidant content of raw honey comes from polyphenols which gives it its anti-cancerous properties.
Unfiltered honey:
This is again a controversial term as the honey which is labeled as unfiltered could be raw or minimally processed.
It could have undergone the process of pasteurization in which it was heating but did not undergo ultrafiltration to lose all of its nutritional value.
Therefore, checking carefully whether the unfiltered variety is raw or not is important before buying.
Regular honey:
This honey is sold as liquid honey which is highly processed and has close to zero nutritional value.
It can also have added preservatives and corn syrup added to it and this is why it is the most inexpensive honey in the market.
Pure honey:
Again, being a controversial term, pure honey only ensures that there are no chemical additives.
Other than that, you will have to check additional labels to know if it is processed or not.
There can also be mixed labels like Organic raw honey or organic unfiltered honey on some bottles. Check with the ingredients and avoid those that contain additives like corn syrup. Additionally pure and organic does not always justify the presence of active enzymes and antioxidants. Therefore, choosing natural raw honey is by far the best choice.
Any form of honey, raw, organic, or regular should not be given to children who are less than 1 year in age for the risk of getting botulism which is a life-threatening condition. | eng | 26e7db1e-bec6-4a7e-a3ec-b38aec58fb19 | https://123scoop.com/organic-honey-vs-raw-honey/ |

Welcome
The Beginner's Guide to Mixing PatternsFor a beginner, accent pillows are a great place to start when experimenting with colors, textures, and patterns. Blend contemporary with traditional by using patterns with sophisticated color palettes. Try using patterns that vary in scale to add interest to the mix.
For example, in the above image PATTERN #1 is the sofa fabric with it's large scale leaf motif and in a vibrant red! Talk about being the strongest statement fabric in the room…PATTERN #2, #3, #4, and #5 as seen in the accent pillows are mainly florals and stripes and their scale is about half the size of PATTERN #1. Note also that the accent pillow fabrics contain the same color palette as PATTERN #1 with the addition of the steel gray.Another reason this fabric combination works together is because it's made from the same set of dyes in the same hue. These fabrics are sold in a collection and are referred to as companion fabrics. They are purposely designed to blend harmoniously in a room.
Why not play with patterns using wallpaper and fabrics? Here again in the image above the colors are of the same intensity and blend together seamlessly even though each pattern is completely different from the other. Like the sofa in the previous example, the wallcoverings boast large-scale patterns and are complimented by medium- and small-scale patterns seen in the chairs and in the accent pillow.
There is always an opportunity to play it safe while decorating like a pro. Take a look at the image below. This bold wallpaper pattern contains an array of colors and is a good source of inspiration for the room. Here, there is only one pattern and the sofa and accent pillows are all solid colors found in the wallpaper. Add even more interest to solids by using texture. Solid colored pillows made from mohair, wool, silk, jacquard, or velvet for example are still considered solids (not patterned), yet they add both visual and tactile appeal.
With just these few tips, you can be well on your way to fearlessly mixing patterns, color, AND textures. Here are some "take home" points:
The key to successfully mixing patterns is to choose a large scale pattern with many colors, a medium scale pattern with some colors, and a small scale pattern with just a few colors.
Use colors with the same intensity. Do not mix pastel with primary colors or subdued with vibrant tones.
Use pattern evenly throughout the room.
Look for companion fabrics to make mixing patterns virtually foolproof

The Different Looks of Psoriatic Arthritis
Psoriatic arthritis is a complicated disease. It affects everyone differently. Sure, we may have some of the same symptoms, but our pain and limitations differ. For some it may end their career and turn their life upside down. Others may only need to make minor adjustments to their lives. There is no such thing as normal or average when it comes to living with PsA.
Numbers don't matter
Some people only have PsA. Others also have psoriasis. Then there are those like myself who have multiple chronic illnesses. In addition to PsA I have psoriasis, fibromyalgia, endometriosis, and degenerative disc disease. Does this mean that my pain and struggle is worse than someone who only has PsA? Not at all!
Our bodies react differently to all of these wretched diseases. One chronic illness may incapacitate a person, while three of them may only slow another person down. Pain from PsA may be more prominent in one person's feet, another's hands, or in someone else's spine. It is impossible to compare one person's journey to another.
Show thyself
PsA isn't always visible. There are people with this disease who never need to use a mobility aid, walk with a limp, or lose use of their hands. Again, this doesn't mean that their journey is easier than someone who has to use a mobility aid. It just means that the areas of their body needed for walking, standing, writing, or sitting hasn't either progressed to the point of becoming visible or aren't affected at that time. It could also mean that they aren't ready to accept their need for a mobility aid and are forcing themselves to appear as "normal" as possible.
PsA can often be seen when a person requires use of a cane, walker, or wheelchair. There are many different reasons we need to use one or more mobility devices throughout our lives. We may only be able to walk for short distances. Some of us are unable to stand for long periods of time. Many of us suffer from a lack of balance.
Not all of us who use a mobility aid use them full-time. I have experienced seasons in which I have had to use my wheelchair for every outing and a walker when I was at home. Lately, I have been using them both far less than I have in over 5 years and refer to myself as a part-time roller. The type of mobility device we use doesn't always reflect our severity either. Other reasons for needing a mobility aid are fatigue and dizziness.
Our commonality
One thing we do have in common is that we are all fighting to live the best lives possible despite our diagnosis. Thankfully we live in a time where we have access to wonderful support in the form of encouragement and camaraderie with online forums like Psoriatic-Arthritis.com | eng | 8ba29267-f694-4696-80e0-b3f6552b8ab5 | https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/living/the-different-looks-of-psoriatic-arthritis |
The end of abundance is nigh.
That's the damn truth. A lot of economists at predicting a recession later in the year, a lot of people feel like we're already in it. Gas prices are back on the rise as China comes back out of another series of lockdowns.
Me personally, I've become less impulsive with my purchases because I know I need to be thinking about the future. Windowless packaging have taken away half my purchases. I'm just filling holes in my collection at this point and working on selling off some of these figures I've hoarded over the last couple of years. I'll still be tempted by hot deals, and clearance products…which have been pretty steep on Hasbro and Mattel's end lately, especially at local Walmarts and Targets. It makes a lot of sense for Hasbro to be struggling a bit right now, and trying to lean up to their workforce as we head into uncertain economic conditions.
I think there's also a point where Hasbro is reaching with Marvel Legends; I'm no comic buff so I'm sure it's just me, but usually I'm like "who?" The general public has to feel similar to me and have no idea who 1/2 the people are in some of these waves. There's only so many Caps they can do, the characters starring in the movies/TV shows aren't big gets and nobody cares outside of Spider-Man now.
Star Wars is spread sooooo thin with them still making figures for literally every iteration of Star Wars except the sequel trilogy right now. Prequels, OT, animated series, and live action TV shows. They really only have so much time and so much resources to attempt to hit every era.
Cutting at the top instead of at the bottom would be a lot more cost efficient for Hasbro (and would probably save a lot more money), as it's clear management has little clue what they are doing and often seems completely out of touch with their customer base. :s
Imagine how many jobs would be cut if they didn't raise those prices. Oh, that's right, you're playing the world's smallest violin right now.
Maybe if you read the article you'd know that the problems with this comapny don't revolve around price increases.
Two things:
1. You're the biggest dickhead on this board. Are you even capable of posting something without IMMEDIATELY insulting another member?
2. You're a fucking idiot if you think price increases aren't a major part of the problem. Oh I'm sorry...the "problems with this comapny don't revolve around price increases" According to what? The company's press release regarding the matter? HAHAHAHAHA!

We've discussed the Hasbro issue across many threads here. Over Haslabs and Pulsecons etc. Just to repeat, toys are non-essential items so the global economy is a big issue. Hasbro not fully catering to their target adult collector customer base is a big issue. Also they are facing a tough future outlook (granted its industry wide), they can provide products for kids from 0 to about 6 years, being able to still have customers from 7 and older dries up. Its a tough time for them to invest and risk in creative outlets, like story lines, serials, cartoons etc. which encourages character interest and actual desire to "play" with action figures for recreation, rather play video games (also a fan of) or do something else like tiktok lol.
Hasbro has already identified their high growth areas and that's what would keep the investors hopeful. But alot of the once popular "wells" (like Marvel and Star Wars) are drying up more and getting a bit sour every year. They know it and it doesn't look good for us older collectors.
Wow. Must say you guys making fun of the lady is pretty fucking embarrassing... like holy shit... how old are you... twelve?
I'm not big into GI Joe, but I've collected a few items and watched the live streams. The Gi Joe team seams to really love the brand and the fans from the videos I watched.
The fact is as younger generations take over they speak less to us 80s and 90s guys. They just don't interact the same. Less emotion and more texting talk. This is just a result of more and more people not interacting with each other and only speaking with avatars and messages.
That said I'd never hope for anyone to lose their job. This economy is about to get a reality check and it's not good for anyone.
I will say with Star Wars, Emily has got to be one of the best things to happen for us vintage fans since the golden age.

Barbie logo and her history
Barbie is a fashion doll that was launched in March 1959 and is manufactured by the American toy company Mattel, Inc. American entrepreneur Ruth Handler is credited with the creation of the doll, using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration. Barbie is the face of a brand of Mattel dolls and accessories that also includes collectable dolls and other members of the family. For more than 50 years, Barbie has played an important role in the toy fashion doll market and has been the subject of numerous law suits and controversies, frequently including mockeries of the doll and her life style.
The Barbie Logo Evolution
Barbie has been around for over 60 years and in that time, her image has undergone some major changes. The most noticeable change was her logo. The Barbie logo has gone through several evolutions since its beginning in 1959.
The original Barbie logo was a simple black-and-white design featuring the name "Barbie" in all capital letters. This logo was used until 1961, when it was updated to include a small graphic of Barbie herself. This version of the logo was used until 1963 when the graphic was removed and the name "Barbie" was written in a more feminine script font.
In 1967, Barbie's logo underwent its biggest change yet. The name "Barbie" was now written in a thick, blocky font and featured a large graphic of Barbie's head above it. This version of the logo would be used on all packaging and marketing materials until 1984, when it was updated once again.
The 1984 update saw the return of the word "Barbie" being written in a more feminine script font. The big difference this time around was that the word "Mattel" was now included above it in block letters. This version of the Barbie logo would be used for over 20 years before getting another update in 2009.
The most recent update to Barbie's logo came in 2009 and saw the removal of the word "Mattel." Barbie's name is now written in white against a pink background with a small graphic of Barbie's head above it.
The Barbie Logo Design Elements
The Barbie logo is one of the most iconic and well-recognized logos in the world. The design elements of the logo are simple yet effective and have remained largely unchanged since the early days of the brand.
The most notable element of the Barbie logo is the silhouette of the doll herself. This image is instantly recognizable and has come to represent not only the Barbie brand but also the ideals of beauty and femininity that it represents. The image is modern and sleek, yet still feminine and delicate.
The colors used in the Barbie logo are also significant. The bright pink color is associated with femininity, while the black color gives the logo a sense of sophistication. These colors work together to create a logo that is both eye-catching and elegant.
Overall, the Barbie logo is a perfect example of how simple design elements can come together to create a strong and memorable visual identity.
The History of Barbie
The history of Barbie is a long and fascinating one. Barbie was created by Ruth Handler in 1959, and she has been a symbol of feminine beauty and empowerment ever since. Barbie has undergone many changes over the years, both in her physical appearance and in her career aspirations.
Barbie has always been ahead of her time, and she continues to inspire girls all over the world to be their best selves. Whether she's a doctor, a lawyer, or an astronaut, Barbie shows girls that they can be anything they want to be. Barbie is an icon, and her story should be celebrated by everyone.
Competition
The Barbie logo has undergone several changes since the doll was first introduced in 1959. The original logo was simply the word "Barbie" written in cursive. In the early 1960s, the logo was changed to a more stylized version, with the "B" being larger than the rest of the letters. This remained the logo until 1972, when it was changed again to a more modern-looking font. The current Barbie logo was introduced in 1992 and has remained unchanged since then.
Throughout her history, Barbie has been one of the most popular dolls on the market. She consistently outsells her nearest competitor, Mattel's American Girl doll, by a wide margin. In recent years, Barbie has faced increased competition from other dolls such as Bratz and Monster High. However, she remains the best-selling doll in the world and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
Wrapping Up the History of Barbie
In 1959, the first Barbie doll was introduced at the American Toy Fair in New York City. The doll was created by Ruth Handler, who based Barbie on a German doll named Lilli. Barbie became popular right away and has been among the top toys for girls for more than 50 years.
Barbie has undergone many changes throughout her history, but she has always maintained her status as a fashion icon and role model for young girls. As Barbie enters her 60th year, she remains as popular as ever and shows no signs of slowing down.

Once a Lion, Always a Lion: Nine LSHS Graduates Talk About Returning to Teach and Guide Students
Posted on 09/15/2023
The Douglas County School System has many former students and alumni who return as teachers or staff members in various roles each year. This year, Lithia Springs High School has an abundance of loyal lions who are passionate about creating a positive educational experience for today's students. Currently, LSHS has nine alumni on staff who share similar stories about their desire to perpetuate the influence and impact that helped shape their lives.
Assistant Principal Payton Milinor expressed her excitement about two of her former students, LSHS STEM graduates Naomi Douglas (Class of 2018) and Bryanna Jordan-Pettit (Class of 2016), who have returned as science teachers. "I taught both of these extraordinary young ladies. Working alongside two amazing teachers who once sat in my classroom is a dream. I am thrilled to have them back on campus, and I know that they will have a lasting impact on their students," Milinor said.
Student Resource Officer Chris Billingslea graduated from LSHS in 2004. He said, "being able to work in law enforcement at the school I attended is a dream come true. I can brag because I played in the first ever game in the "new" gym 20 years ago and had a triple-double (25 points, 14 rebounds, 11 blocks). It's an honor to be able to work with the next generation of Lions!"
Candice Cooke graduated in 1988 and is now a science teacher. "Returning to the Lion's Den as a teacher brings back wonderful memories and excitement," she said. It is a privilege to be part of a school that shaped my journey and to have the opportunity to contribute to the growth and development of new generations."
Nicole Oliver-Wynn graduated in 1991 and now teaches computer science. "I chose to come back to LSHS as a teacher because I felt compelled to contribute to the educational community that had a meaningful impact on my own academic development. The experiences, insights, and mentorship I gained during my time here in high school have given me a distinct outlook that I can now share with the present generation of students," she explained.
Coach Darius Owens is a member of the Class of 2011 and a current PEC (Program for Exceptional Children) teacher. "I enjoyed my time here as a student, and I'm excited to be an educator in a place that helped shape me into the person I am today. I'm excited to be back. Go Lions!"
Scotty "Donald" Parker, Class of 1988, Health and PE Teacher said, "It is always great to give back to what you once received -- once a Lion, always a Lion!"
Zephina Romero graduated in 2013 and is working as a long-term substitute teaching English. "Before last year, I never thought I would come back to teach at Lithia. I had the best time while at Lithia during my four years, and I want these students to have that same experience. So, I'm excited to be back home."
Jaime Samples, 2003, Social Studies Teacher said, "I am excited to be teaching and coaching at LSHS and have the opportunity to be a positive influence in the lives of my students. So many teachers and staff had a huge impact on the person that I am today, and I hope that I can have that kind of an impact on my students." | eng | d39d3fcb-27d8-469b-b9d4-fd9c7ebbc5a5 | https://www.douglas.k12.ga.us/cms/One.aspx?portalId=125348&pageId=94888498 |

A sort-of-sequel to the earlier-discussed Illuminatus trilogy. More sex, more quantum weirdness, and a less coherent story. I don't think he ever does explain where the missing scientists went, in any of the universes.

Louisiana Department of Education Expands At-Home Care and Learning Supports for Families with Young Children
Official Louisiana Department of Education press release:
DEPARTMENT EXPANDS AT-HOME CARE AND LEARNING SUPPORTS FOR FAMILIES WITH YOUNG CHILDREN
Apr 21, 2020
New Supports Include Free, Three-Month Subscription to Nickelodeon's Early Learning Service
BATON ROUGE, La. -- The Louisiana Department of Education today announced it has expanded its at-home care and learning supports for families who are home with young children as a result of the ongoing Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak.
New supports include:
Guidance for Early Learning at Home: (will open in new tab) A guidance document that walks families step-by-step through the process of creating a productive daily schedule, including tips and sample schedules, along with age-appropriate, play-based learning activities to enhance that schedule. The guidance document also includes lists of academic resources for all students, including students with disabilities and English learners.
Noggin Cares: (will open in new tab) The Department has partnered with Noggin, Nickelodeon's learning service for children age 2 and above, to offer a free, three-month subscription to families. The app is loaded with read-aloud e-books, learning games, songs, and other engaging content. It also provides ideas for off-screen family activities, and it provides special content to help young children cope during this time.
"During this extraordinary time, Louisiana must support the hearts and minds of our youngest learners," said Assistant Superintendent Jessica Baghian. "Today, the Department is thrilled to further expand families' access to books, games, and play-based activities."
The new supports announced today mark the latest efforts by the Department to support the state's youngest learners and their families.
Last month, for example, the Department released a Continuous Education Toolkit for School Systems that contains academic resources (will open in new tab) to support learning for all grade levels, including early childhood. The early childhood resources include information on child development and lists of high-quality instructional materials and services that can be accessed online and through text messaging.
The same Continuous Education Toolkit also includes new early literacy support (will open in new tab) for families with children in grades Kindergarten through 2. The information is designed to provide families a better understanding of how children learn to read and provides practical activities families can use each day at home.
Here at Noggin, we know school closures and child care issues are disrupting life. We remain committed to providing high-quality, digital learning experiences for your kids. That is why we are offering our service FREE for 90 days in partnership with our friends at the Early Childhood Department of Louisiana.
90 FREE Days of Noggin
No credit card required.
Here at Noggin, we understand the impact school closures have on kids, that's why we're proud to partner with the state of Louisiana to help families learn and play together, at home.
Enjoy our full library of books, games, interactive episodes, and learning videos all for FREE.
Louisiana education officials have also released guidance to help families create a productive list of daily learning activities and learning to help young children keep learning during the stay-at-home order | eng | 780452ca-c26e-4ca6-b796-8dac1e8454be | http://www.nickalive.net/2020/04/louisiana-department-of-education.html |
Hard Disk SSD vs HDD: A Comparison of Performance and Cost in 2023
As technology continues to evolve, so too do the storage options available to consumers. From traditional HDDs to more modern solid state drives, the options can be overwhelming. In this article, we will compare the two most popular storage options – the HDD and the SSD – to help you determine which one is right for you in 2023.
Performance: SSDs vs HDDs
When comparing HDDs and SSDs, performance is the number one factor to consider. SSDs are much faster than HDDs, allowing for faster file access and transfer speeds. This is because SSDs use integrated circuits and have no moving parts, unlike the mechanical parts in HDDs. SSDs also consume less power than HDDs, making them more reliable and efficient.
Cost: SSDs vs HDDs
The cost of HDDs and SSDs can vary greatly depending on the size and speed of the drive, but overall, HDDs are more affordable than SSDs. HDDs are available in sizes up to 16TB, while SSDs are limited to 4TB. Additionally, SSDs tend to be more expensive per GB than HDDs.
Durability: SSDs vs HDDs
When it comes to durability, SSDs have the advantage over HDDs. Because SSDs have no moving parts, they are less prone to physical damage and can withstand greater amounts of shock and vibration. HDDs, on the other hand, are more vulnerable to physical damage due to their moving parts.
A Quote From a Trusted Source
As noted in an article from TechRadar, "For most people, a hard drive is the most cost-effective option for storage, but if you're in the market for speed and reliability, an SSD is the way to go."1
Conclusion
When it comes to storage options, HDDs and SSDs are the two most popular choices in 2023. While HDDs provide more storage for less cost, SSDs provide faster performance and greater durability. Ultimately, the decision of which type of drive to purchase depends on the individual needs and budget of the user. | eng | c8b67d6d-2277-4819-8892-7505df5092b3 | https://skoways.com/hard-disk-ssd-vs-hdd |

Relevance:
GS3
About:
Gonorrhea: Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Neisseria gonorrhoeae. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), it is the second-most common disease to be sexually transmitted across the world after chlamydia.
->Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of microorganisms (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites) to resist the effects of antimicrobial drugs (such as antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals, and antiparasitics).
->Causes:
a. Poor infection control and inadequate sanitation and hygiene.
b. Overuse of antibiotics and repeated use of poor-quality drugs.
c. Genetic mutations of the bacteria.
d. Lack of investment in research and development of new antimicrobial drugs.
->Impacts:
-AMR increases the risk of infections spreading and becoming harder to treat, leading to prolonged illness, disability and death.
-It also increases healthcare costs and threatens the sustainability of healthcare systems.
->Recognition in India:
-The National Health Policy 2017 highlights the problem of antimicrobial resistance and calls for effective action to address it.
-The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare (MoHFW) identified AMR as one of the top 10 priorities for the ministry's collaborative work with the World Health Organization (WHO). | eng | d9bd35d4-a485-4092-8c0b-b44643b482b1 | https://v2vedu.com/content.php?content_id=2352&topic_id=7 |

Why People With Chronic Conditions Need Preventive Dental Care with regular dental maintenance and care is essential to keep from developing further health complications. Explore the ways routine dental care helps protect some of the most vulnerable people from getting sicker.
The effect of chronic conditions on the body
An underlying medical condition can take a real toll on the body. Depending on the condition and the organ system in which it originates, medical issues may cause disruptions in the way the entire rest of the body functions, including the mouth.
Diabetes is a chronic illness that originates in the endocrine system and impacts the way sugar is processed. This irregularity with blood sugar can cause the body to produce too much or not enough insulin. The result is a general wearing of the body as a whole. The immune system is deficient in diabetics and infections pose more of a threat because the body is unable to heal as quickly. Dental infections can likewise require more aggressive and comprehensive treatment in diabetics than in those without the disease.
Preventive dental care basics
Oral health worsens in the face of chronic illnesses such as diabetes and osteoporosis. Taking care of the mouth is about more than securing a nice smile. The main objective is to preserve the teeth and clear out harmful bacteria that may lead to or exacerbate other harmful health conditions. There are many steps a person can take to ensure harmful invaders cannot create further issues inside the body.
Home dental care
The first step in preventing dental issues is establishing and sticking to a dental hygiene routine at home. Brushing teeth is essential to maintaining good oral health. When sugar is eaten, it settles on the teeth. Its stickiness makes it the ideal landing spot for bacteria. If the teeth are not cleaned properly, the bacteria begin to burrow into the enamel. Cavities and other more serious dental conditions can result. WebMD recommends brushing teeth twice a day at minimum to cut down on this process. Flossing should be performed at least one time a day.
Undergoing professional cleanings
Annual checkups with the dentist are another essential part of preventative care. For those with a chronic illness, these checkups are an opportunity to find out if there is anything amiss. With the help of X-rays, the dentist can see below the surface. The practitioner can check the status of the gums and make sure that any issues are addressed properly. These visits also include a thorough cleaning and any readjustment and coaching of at-home dental hygiene practices.
Conclusion
Those with health issues are not the only ones who should be practicing preventive dental care. When the mouth is healthy, not only does confidence get a boost, but so does the body's health | eng | 01e25fc6-d6ac-4a1d-8e1c-a120abe9b778 | https://www.thegalleryofsmiles.com/blog/chronic-conditions-need-preventive-dental-care/ |

Focusing investment decisions on products that put the user first can strengthen portfolios by identifying promising opportunities and avoiding pitfalls. This is where the groundbreaking advantages of a UXReactor audit come into play: prioritizing user-centricity to significantly de-risk your firm's portfolio.
But there's a secret to keep you on course through hairpin turns: Focusing your investments on user-centricity.
By buckling up with UXReactor audits, you can steer your B2B portfolio to success, avoiding wipeouts that can derail even the most promising ventures. With UXReactor as your co-pilot, you'll evaluate investments through a user-focused lens so you can back winners, not sinkers.
Despite its undeniable benefits, user-centricity is frequently overlooked by investment firms. Maybe because it's a relatively nascent concept. Or maybe it's because a UX transformation seems daunting. However, fostering a proactive attitude towards assessing the user-centricity of potential and existing investments can substantially alter the success path of your firm.
UX Audits: Illuminating Your Portfolio Blindspots
User centricity is all about infusing the user's needs, motivations, and desires into each and every touchpoint. To do that well, you need to know what those needs, motivations, and desires are in the first place. UX audits take a deep dive into understanding users through methods like user interviews, usability testing, and journey mapping. Experts immersed in UX best practices (like us) look at both the struggle spots and touchpoints where users are clearly enjoying the journey.
For VCs, these audits do two important things:
Pinpoint unsatisfied user needs or pain points within a market. These gaps represent opportunities for new startups to provide creative solutions users crave. As an investor, identifying these opportunities early allows you to proactively seek out and back products poised for product-market fit and differentiation.
Assess the user experience of your existing portfolio companies. Audits uncover flaws in UX design, confusing user flows, or poor adoption of products. For example, an audit may reveal an onboarding drop-off due to a complicated interface. These insights allow VCs to work with portfolio companies to address weaknesses before they impact growth and returns.
What users want and need will always evolve, and therefore blindspots in products will always pop up. UX audits illuminate those blindspots in both market opportunities and current portfolio companies. By shining a light on areas for improvement, audits enable VCs to de-risk investments on both ends – new opportunities and current holdings. The insights uplift portfolios holistically, making for stronger portfolios overall.
Audits Give You an Edge With Competitive Intelligence
As an investor, sizing up the competition is a chess match – you're looking for openings and weaknesses to exploit. UX audits are a secret weapon, shining a spotlight on where rivals drop the ball in meeting user needs. These audits also show your own portfolio companies in the same harsh light, revealing disadvantages versus competitors.
Turning Insights Into Possibilities for Quick Wins
The most crucial outcome of UX audits is actionable strategic recommendations that can be implemented quickly. For portfolio companies, audits may reveal quick wins like simplifying workflows, improving legacy UIs, or consolidating data into more user-friendly formats.
When CloudKnox wanted to take their company to the next level, they partnered with UXReactor to evaluate the user centricity of their platform. Key opportunities for improvement were identified, and a plan to address those opportunities was quickly put into action. Within just five years, CloudKnox was acquired by Microsoft. The CloudKnox CIEM product is a testament to the power of user experience design (paired with strong engineering) to create highly profitable innovation.
UX audits also provide investor feedback on tweaking investment strategies based on what we're seeing users do in the market. This could mean doubling down on certain product categories or shifting focus to more user-centric startups.
Optimizing the User Journey for Experience-Led Growth
It's well known that the user experience makes or breaks product adoption and loyalty. For investors, shoring up key touchpoints like product discovery, onboarding, and training is essential to a transformational UX. Where do users struggle? Where do they bounce? What delights them? UX audits provide this visibility.
Let's say a UXReactor audit of one of your portfolio company's software reveals shortcomings in their free trial experience. We find the trial sign-up flow is complex with too many fields, and the trial period limits key software features. As a result, few free users convert to paid accounts.
Armed with these insights, you now know to streamline the trial registration to eliminate unnecessary steps. Additionally, the functionality limits can be removed so free trials better demonstrate the full value of the software. With a refined, frictionless trial experience, conversion rates skyrocket. More trial users seamlessly transition to paid accounts, becoming happy, loyal customers. Their lifetime value (LTV) is fully captured through renewal subscriptions.
What does this mean for you? You're able to guide the portfolio company to optimize trials that unlock more revenue potential. Smoothing the trial experience's friction and showcasing the full product value converts more users and captures more lifetime value from customers. The refinements can improve portfolio returns multifold.
Auditing the user journey at various touchpoints provides you visibility into adoption barriers. Addressing identified weak points like trials then maximizes portfolio company returns.
Introducing a UXReactor audit into an investment strategy increases success chances — both for portfolio companies and you. Prioritizing user-centricity helps de-risk your portfolio by revealing which investments have the highest likelihood of success. This user-focused approach sets you up for sustainable profits. | eng | 736df441-2fbd-4385-9f8b-ea9740b1665d | https://uxreactor.com/user-experience-audits-investment-evalutions/ |
Cash flow forecast with Excel or Google sheets for startups
Learn how to create a reliable cash flow forecast using Excel or Google Sheets for your startup. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need about cash flow forecasting, from gathering data to analyzing and adjusting your forecast.
Table of Contents
Introduction
Cash flow management is one of the essential aspects of any business, including startups.
Understanding your company's current and future cash flow can help you make informed decisions that can steer your business towards success. A cash flow forecast is an excellent tool for tracking and managing cash flow.
This article will provide you with a comprehensive guide on creating a cash flow forecast using Excel or Google Sheets for your startup.
What is a Cash Flow Forecast?
A cash flow forecast is a financial statement that tracks the movement of cash in and out of business over a specific period.
A cash flow forecast enables business owners to understand how much cash they have on hand, where it is coming from, and where it is going. It is essential for planning, budgeting, and monitoring cash flow.
Why is a Cash Flow Forecast important for Startups?
Cash flow management is crucial for startups because they often have limited resources and are highly dependent on cash flow to fund operations, grow their business, and stay afloat. A cash flow forecast helps startups to:
Plan and budget for future cash needs
Identify potential cash flow gaps and take corrective action before they become critical
Prioritize spending and allocate resources more effectively
Secure financing and investments by demonstrating their ability to manage cash flow
Stay on top of cash flow and make timely decisions to avoid financial difficulties or bankruptcy
How to create a Cash Flow Forecast in Excel or Google Sheets?
Creating a cash flow forecast using Excel or Google Sheets is easy. You can start by following these steps:
Step 1: Gather Your Data
Before creating a cash flow forecast, you must gather data on your business's past and current cash flow. This data includes:
Sales and Revenue
Expenses (both fixed and variable)
Accounts payable and receivable
Investments and loans
Cash reserves
Step 2: Create a Cash Flow Statement
The next step is to create a cash flow statement that shows the net cash flow for each period (usually monthly or quarterly) over the forecast period. A cash flow statement has three main sections:
Cash inflows: This includes all sources of cash, such as sales, loans, and investments.
Cash outflows: This includes all cash payments, such as expenses, salaries, and taxes.
Net cash flow is the difference between cash inflows and outflows.
Step 3: Forecast Your Cash Flow
Once you have your cash flow statement, you can start forecasting your cash flow for the future. To do this, you must make assumptions about your future sales, expenses, cash inflows, and outflows based on past trends, market conditions, and other factors that may affect your business. You can use Excel or Google Sheets to create a formula that automatically calculates your future cash flow based on your assumptions.
Step 4: Analyze and Adjust
After creating your cash flow forecast, it is essential to analyze it to identify potential issues and take corrective action. You can compare your forecasted cash flow to actual cash flow to identify gaps and adjust your assumptions accordingly.
Tips for Creating a Reliable Cash Flow Forecast
To create a reliable cash flow forecast, consider the following tips:
Use realistic assumptions based on your past performance and market conditions
Consider various scenarios, such as best-case and worst-case, to prepare for unexpected events
Where to get a ready-made Financial Model for Cash flow forecast?
I have created a fully functional financial model to forecast:
Income statement or Profit or loss statement
Forecast Revenues based on many criteria: Fixed or dynamically
Cash collections from your customer – How much credit you should give your customers without significantly raising your risk.
Cash payments to your suppliers – Suppliers are as important as customers. We'll show you how you should negotiate with your suppliers to give you optimum credit to ensure the overall cash position of your business is always positive.
If you run out of cash for any reason, you can set up a revolving line of credit with your bank to provide you with a temporary line of credit or bank overdraft. This model lets you forecast that, so you can view how much quick funding will be required if the business is not performing well while maintaining operations at a base level.
If you are borrowing temporarily, you must consider the cost of interest. This model lets you forecast interest expenditures and shows you how to manage your credit effectively.
Please read this blog postto learn more about the model, download it or consider enrolling on the video class where I teach you how to build this excellent financial model step-by-step diether in Excel or Google Sheets.
Conclusion
Creating a cash flow forecast using Excel or Google Sheets is a vital tool for startups to manage their finances effectively. By forecasting your cash flow, you can plan and budget for future cash needs, identify potential gaps, prioritize spending, secure financing and investments, and avoid financial difficulties or bankruptcy.
To create a reliable cash flow forecast, it is crucial to gather accurate and up-to-date data on your business's past and current cash flow. You should also make realistic assumptions about your future cash inflows and outflows based on market conditions, past trends, and other factors that may affect your business.
Excel and Google Sheets provide powerful tools for creating and analyzing cash flow forecasts. You can use formulas and functions to automate your calculations, create charts and graphs to visualize your data, and perform what-if analysis to explore different scenarios.
In conclusion, managing your startup's cash flow is essential to its success. By creating a cash flow forecast using Excel or Google Sheets, you can gain insight into your business's financial health and make informed decisions that can help you grow and thrive.

You may say that majority of people agree with the scanner, but are you saying that the rest of the people's opinion that disagree do not matter? Many people claim that the scanning is an invasion of privacy.
We can counterclaim this by saying safety is a lot more important than privacy. Would you rather be stubborn and say no, go onto a plane and explode, or stand in a scanner for less than 5 seconds to be sure that no weapons or bombs of any kind is able to enter a plane full of people.
Now for radiation, pilots have gone through the scanners so many more times than any normal passenger, and none of them have cancer because the radiation power is so low. After our argument, we hope that you see that the side we stand for is the only side and it is the correct oneand have a safe flight, or refuse and have weapons be brought onto a plane filled with people and millions of death. Our second point would be radiation. Although you might argue that the scanner can cause cancer because of the radiation, but the
I completely agree with you, because as well as this, scanners was to speed passengers through checkpoints at busy airports. The scanner takes 2 seconds and it doesn't show your body with details, because it is animated. It is a better option. And infants and young children under 140cms will not be selected to undergo a body scan.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration put the risk of a fatal cancer from the machines at one in 400 million. The U.K. Health Protection Agency has put it at one in 166 million. Some experts say such estimates of population risk create a distorted picture of the danger because humans are constantly exposed to background radiation and already accept risks that increase exposure, such as flying on a plane at cruising altitude. In the authoritative study on the health risks of low levels of radiation, the National Academy of Sciences concluded that the risk of cancer increases with radiation exposure and that there is no level of radiation at which the risk is zero.
The health risks from the radiation the imaging equipment uses are generally very low, and usually outweighed by the benefits of getting the right diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Body scanners are at use in many airports across the UK and abroad. There are two types of scanner in use in the UK. One type uses millimetre radio waves that can "see" through clothing. The other type uses a very low dose of ionising radiation. Neither type has been shown to pose a risk to people's health.
The first type of scanner uses radio waves, which are a form of non-ionising radiation that does not cause health effects at the low doses given off by airport scanners.
The second type uses ionising radiation, which in high doses can be harmful. But the levels used in airport scanners are about 100,000 times lower than what an average UK person would be exposed to each year. This dose is so low that it makes no noticeable difference to a person's risk of cancerAs your main and only point is privacy, you might say that full body scanners are an invasion of privacy and that they should have pat downs instead or metal detectors but those are an even bigger invasion of privacy. In pat downs they feel every part of your body, and they do this with medal detectors too. Sarah also said they should have dog searches. 1) dogs cant detect anythign except for drugs, 2) this is a huge invasion of privacy as an animal is sniffing your body. Also Yumna said full body scanners would not catch everything and people could sneak things through, but medal detectors can only detect MEDAL. What if your carrying a bomb or dynamite or any kind of weapon that is not made of medal? Then what? The plain explodes, and you die.
You ponit that a human life is priceless is a valid point. Although safety does not win over privacy. Benjamin Franklin stated that "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety"
I completely disagree with you, safety DOES win over privacy. Safety will always come first, no matter what! The pictures (which are animated and do not show and specific body parts) do not save in a server they delete forever. According to a 2010 CBS poll, four out of five Americans support the use of Advanced Imaging Technology at airports nationwide.
Personal Freedoms the TSAs AIT does not impact personal freedoms, you guys agreed to buy the ticket which states that you are agreeing to go through these machines, if you dont want to do that take a boat!!!Relating back to the 4th amendment, it states that people have the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, and no Warrants. TSA's AIT is not an unreasonable search. its for safety. Also they don't have a warrant but when you buy the ticket you are agreeing to go through security, which is where you are randomly chosen to go through the AIT. So TSA's AIT is not unreasonable and you agree to it if you are planning to fly.
There should be this type of security so nothing can happen on 9/11. A few planes were hijacked by suicide terrorists in the tragic event of 9/11. This was because of the lack of security at airports. After that event, security tightened everywhere. This was to make sure that it didn't happen again.
After 9/11 in 2009 the "Christmas Underwear Bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab got through the airport with all the checks and got on to the plane. He got through by putting the bomb in his down under and covering it by plastic that covered the explosives on the scanner.
yes this is a valid point but safety is as important as liberty so to make all passengers happy they should create a system such as dog searches and metal detectors to replace the personally invasive machines
(2013) TSA says that the scanners have revealed more than 60 "artfully concealed" illegal or prohibited items in the past year. No explosives have been detected by the machines to this day, but their ability to spot even small concealed objects demonstrates their effectiveness as a security tool, officials said. "It is absolutely a tremendous improvement of what we can detect at the checkpoints," TSA Acting Administrator Gale Rossides said this week. "It is an excellent piece of technology that will significantly improve our detection capabilities." But to illustrate the machines' effectiveness, Rossides showed a packet of white powder smaller than a tea bag, saying it was identical to a concealed bag detected by an imager. She also said that the body imagers are especially useful because they can expose contraband on parts of the body that aren't fully explored in pat-downs, such as private parts.
The dogs sniffing and searching will look and feel awkward. The dogs and metal detectors cannot find dynamite or boobs which are concealed. Furthermore, the dogs or metal detectors can't detect drugs. Tis is more invasive than the scanners.
Dog searches???? Your only point is privacy, but how are dog searches respecting privacy? Who wants dogs sniffing every part of their body ? Thats more of an invasion! So are pat-downs, pat downs are when you feel the passengers body, all around, to make sure she/he is not carrying anything. Full body scans are not as invasive, you stand fully dressed in a scanner. Your body is not touched in any way, or viewed with detail.
As we've already said, the machines are not invasive. The scannerIt does not go against the 4th amendment because In 1973 the 9th Circuit Court rules on U.S. vs Davis, 482 F.2d 893, 908, there are key pieces of wording that give the TSA its power to search essentially any way they choose to. The key wording in this ruling includes "noting that airport screenings are considered to be administrative searches because they are conducted as part of a general regulatory scheme, where the essential administrative purpose is to prevent the carrying of weapons or explosives aboard aircraft."
In conclusion, safety always wins over privacy. You guys might say that they can get through them so they should switch it with a search dog or a metal detector, but if you want to do that be ready for horrible things to happen. This is because with a dog, it can only sniff drugs and with a metal detector it only detects metal so you can sneak plastic knives or drugs.
In conclusion, safety always wins over privacy, and the radiation is extremely little in the full body scanner. The full body scanner is completely effective and should be kept in airports to keep everyone safe. You did say privacy was important, but safety always comes first. We hope you have been convinced that the body scanners should stay in airports.
In concusion, we had 3 main points. Safety, radiation, and privacy. Safety beats anything. What if someone said no to a full body scanner because they thought it invaded privacy, then walked into a plane and brought a weapon/ammunition with them. Then a whole plain filled with humna lives would explode and everyone would die. Also, the oponent might have argued that the scanners could cause cancer from the radiation, but they do not. As said in 215658/160107/healthcentral-explainer/
the Up to 5 million micrograms of annual exposure is considered safe; 3 or 10 micrograms is still a very small amount. Our last point was privcay, as our oponents suggested pat downs and metal detectors, they are even more nvasive as they feel yoru bdoy. You are fully dressed during scanners and the images are ghsot like or catroon. Plu sonly one person is behind the screen. We hoped you have convinced you to stand on our side. Thank you.
In conclusion, the safety of the public is more important than privacy. Even though the TSA has changed the technology to less invasive animated, non graphic images, some people might have thought that it's still invasion. We hope you are convinced.
The backscatter machines are ineffective because they cannot detect explosives in body cavities or covered by special plastic's like the "Christmas Underwear Bomber" has. You can sneak large quantities of explosives through the machine, using different techniques.
There is plastic (1.5 cm) that can cover weapons and drugs and mask them from the scanner. This proves that in fact, this scanner doesn't stop all terrorists and drug dealers from continuing their illegal acts.
A passenger can tape a gun to there leg (the outside of it), right above there knee. That means that the black that shows up from the gun blends in with its background.
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab commited something called the underwear bomber.Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab got through the airport with all the checks while having a bomb in his underwear. He went all the way through to the airplane but the bomb groin. This event happened on 2009 on Christmas Day. He was on a plane from Amsterdam to Detroit and it was degraded and caused a fire. This means they scanner is not accurate.
Even Benjamin Frankiln, a role model to many, agrees that "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" This means we should all follow these regulations and have metal detectors which give every human some privacy. The world already rips away a lot of privacy from humans already with the internet.
Researchers from U.C. San Diego, University of Michigan, and Johns Hopkins University say that anyone with knowledge of the scanners can sneak a weapon through the scanners. This means that professional researchers believe that the scanners have no use as the weapons can be sneaked.
Therefore we think that the advanced imaging technology machines are not a good addition to our airports and we think that there should be a drug-melling dog and metal detectors at every check-in to keep safe and be 100% sure of our safety. valuable to me!
The scanners have very little radiation. This is also called a milimeter wave. the American College of Radiology (ACR) said a traveler would require more than 1,000 such scans in a year to reach the effective dose equal to one standard chest X-ray valuable to me!
The scanner prevents huge tragedies like 9/11 where planes were hijacked and many lives were lost. This was done by terrorists from the Saudi terrorist organization of Al-Qaeda. They crashed the planes on purpose. The reason they got through easily in the first place was because of loose security.
As you guys keep stating that safety is an important factor, liberty and safety should come hand in hand. They should replace the Advanced Imaging Technology with a less invasive searches such as metal detectors along with search dog.
Who would want a dog sniffing them? The only thing the dogs would find is drugs and not weapons!!! Also, when you go through a metal detector, they will only find things that are metal! So you can pass through with drugs, bombs, sharp things that are not metal etc. The dog would be very invasive!! The scanner is less invasive as no one is actually touching you.
In the modern era people are continuously having their privacy invaded everyday using advanced imaging technology. Today we will be talking about risks and effects of using this Full Body Scanner. The opposition might say that safety is more important than liberty although they should go hand in hand. We are going to try and argue that even though giving up a simple freedom like this will lead to giving up major freedoms later on.
Protecting life with scanners is more important than privacy. Outlines can be obscured to protect privacy. They can remove your face from the picture. Minors can be exempted from the full body scanners, but then would a pat-down. Fully-body scanners reveal metallic and nonmetallic items. Full-body scanners are less intrusive than pat-downs. Full-body scans pose no more risk than x-ray machines.
I believe that the TSA Advanced Imaging Technology, also known as the full body scanner should not be used in America. There are many reasons for this but one of the main concerns of passengers trying to travel with ease is too much invasion of there naked body.
Safety always beats privacy. Your argument was they go hand in hand, but they already do: the procedure for a full body scan is explained in this website You are wearing clothes the whole entire time, all you do is step into it and put your arms up. The images are not stored, and the photo that comes up is ghost-like, it is not pornographic, in some countries, the photo is a cartoon.
Many passangers flying in America are MUslims and Christians and the act to look under a persons clothes is against there religions stated in these verses in the bible and the Quran.
1 Timothy 2:9 - In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
O children of Adam, We have bestowed upon you clothing to conceal your private parts and as adornment. But the clothing of righteousness - that is best. That is from the signs of Allah that perhaps they will remember. [Quran 7:26]
Yes, you might say that it does not affect a person tremendously, but if they carry on with extreme checks like this this will start to carry on to these kinds of checks everywhere. This will create delay of a regular persons day.
There is no difference from these scans than at looking at pornography
"These aren't X-rays, they are essentially images of the naked body," said Sharif Labban, a freshman who will be traveling from Raleigh/Durham International Airport, where the scanners will be in place. "I understand they are for the sake of national defense, but I do not see the distinction from pornography."
As you state that safety is an important factor, although liberty and safety should come hand in hand. They should replace the Advanced Imaging Technology with a less invasive searches such as metal detectors along with search dog.
This shows the scanners are very effective!!!
Really, search dogs!!! If you are good enough you could hide a piece of meat and maybe that will get their attention. Search dogs are too easy to get through and metal detectors, there are plastic knives that can go through! Search Dogs would only be good for sniffing drugs but if you have a weapon you really think they can smell that!
It, in fact, doesn't violate the right to privacy because it's for safety reasons. These searches and scans will keep the passengers safe. It will also keep dangerous items out of the plane for people to have a safe trip. It can detect drugs as small as teabags. If the passengers are so worried about strangers seeing their naked body, then they should know that the scan imageI disagree as you state that "it will also keep dangerous items out of the plane for people to have a safe trip." because the machine does not always detect dangerous items that the person is carrying. Researchers from U.C. San Diego, University of Michigan, and Johns Hopkins University say that anyone with knowledge of the scanners can sneak a weapon through the scanners. Which therefore means that more people can sneak dangerous items on to the aircraft because they will be able to get through the scanners.
As time goes on, scanners wil improve and evolve and be able to catch every little thing. Although right this second, they may not be able to catch every single thing, they can at least catch most things and give a higher chance of security.
The people deserve the right to know who is behind the screen looking at your "nudes". These people might be perverts that have nothing to do with wanting to find weapons, just to see somebodies naked bodies.
The airport and TSA are not stupid. Where do you get your info? They would never put a pervert behind the screen. What ? Are they going to be aroused by your cartoon/ ghost-like body? Plus this would not even satisfy anybody sexually because as said before, most images are cartoons, and those who aren't are ghost-like. The eprson behind the screen would obviously be a professional officer or such, and as images cannot be stored, he/she owuld only be abel to see for a couple seconds.
This is incorrect, the images on the screen would be an animated picture. They would not see a naked body, as well as this, women look at women and men would look at men. All modern body scanners also cover the face of the person.
You might think that these scanner catch all the criminals but in fact there is a way to cross this machine with a weapon or drug if it is concealed correctly. You can actually use a specific type of plastic that will shield the weapon from the rays. See for yourself!
This is going against most of the amendments because most of them are about or based on personal freedom. Invading people's privacy is not a personal freedom because you have to have the choice to say whether or not you want to be checked with the machine.
When you buy your ticket, you're agreeing to the full body scan. Plus, this does not invade privacy, you are fully dressed the whole time, and only person sees the image, and images cannot be saved. Images are not a pornographic, they only show a ghostly outline.
"
Body scanners do not always prevent planes from being hijacked like 9/11, due to the fact that you can still sneak in weapons through the scanner. An example of snealing a weapon through the scanner is that a passenger can tape a gun to there leg (the outside of it), right above there knee. That means that the black that shows up from the gun blends in with its background. Therefore the weapon will not be detected. | eng | 9d2cd0b5-edeb-4210-914e-45b85cb34272 | http://nocompromise.createdebate.com/debate/show/8B_4th_Amendment_Unlawful_Search_and_Seizures |
UV Lights: How The Magic Cleans Your Home
October 9, 2022
If you're looking to improve the air quality and efficiency of your home's HVAC system, you may have heard about UV lights or Oxy 4 UV Lights as a potential solution. But what exactly are residential HVAC UV lights, and how do they work? In this blog, we'll go over the benefits of using UV lights in your HVAC system and how they work to improve indoor air quality and HVAC performance.
Benefits
Kill Allergens, Bacteria, and More!
One of the main benefits of using UV lights in your HVAC system is the improvement in indoor air quality. UV lights work by emitting ultraviolet (UV) radiation, which has the ability to kill or deactivate microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and mold. By reducing the number of these contaminants in the air, UV lights can help improve the overall air quality in your home.
UV lights can also help reduce the presence of other contaminants that can worsen allergy symptoms, such as chemical fumes and smoke. By reducing the number of allergens in the air, UV lights can help improve indoor air quality and alleviate allergy symptoms.
Increased HVAC efficiency
Another benefit of residential HVAC UV lights is the potential increase in system efficiency. When microorganisms build up on the coils and other parts of the HVAC system, it can reduce its efficiency and cause it to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. By eliminating these contaminants with UV lights, you may see an improvement in your HVAC system's efficiency and a decrease in your energy bills.
Extended HVAC lifespan
In addition to improving efficiency, using UV lights in your HVAC system can also help extend its lifespan. By reducing the number of contaminants on the system's parts, you can help prevent wear and tear, which can prolong the life of the system.
How UV Lights Work
There are two main types of UV lights for HVAC systems: coil lights and air purification lights.
Coil lights
Coil lights are installed on the evaporator coils of your HVAC system. These coils are responsible for absorbing heat from the air in your home, so they tend to be a breeding ground for microorganisms. By installing UV lights on these coils, you can help kill or deactivate the contaminants, which can improve the efficiency of your system and the air quality in your home.
Air purification lights
Air purification lights are installed in the air ducts of your HVAC system. As air passes through the ducts, it is exposed to the UV radiation emitted by the lights, which can help kill or deactivate any microorganisms in the air. These lights are especially helpful for homes with allergies or respiratory issues, as they can help reduce the number of allergens and other contaminants in the air.

In conclusion, residential HVAC UV lights can be a great addition to your home's HVAC system. By improving indoor air quality, increasing system efficiency, and extending the lifespan of the system, they can provide numerous benefits for homeowners. If you're interested in installing one in your HVAC system, be sure to consult with a professional HVAC technician to determine the best placement and type of lights for your specific system. | eng | ec61440f-757b-47bd-bd45-67765ed1e828 | https://chrismech.com/uv-lights-how-the-magic-cleans-your-home/ |
sports bar pleasanton
The sports bar is a place of entertainment, socialization, and pleasure.
In a recent study by University of New Hampshire research professor James R. Healey, the average duration of a sports bar's stay is five minutes, with a maximum of five hours. But what if you took that five-minute wait and turned it into just a few hours? That's what a restaurant offers, a place where people go to meet new friends and get a drink. Think of a restaurant like a club, only better.
The most pleasurable place in the world is a place that lets you linger and linger and linger.
Thats the premise behind the new game, sports bar pleasanton, which has a new name, a new look, and a new mission. I was quite impressed with Healey's study, which found that sports bars were the most pleasant places to go to in the city of New York.
A new game, sports bar pleasanton, is now in the works. The game, which is being developed by Healeys, is basically a lounge for people to sit and drink. The game's name is a play on the word pleasanton, which is a term used to describe a place that is relaxing, but also good to be in.
I really love Healeys, and their new game, "sports bar pleasanton," is one of the most promising ones. The name of the game is very clever. It's meant to be a combination of being in a "sports bar" and a "pleasanton.
It's very similar to the game of life, except the games in life are all about drinking. So, it's basically a sports bar with beer.
The name is also the name of a game a couple of years ago. The game, along with the game itself, are both being marketed to be addictive. The fact that they are both played in a sports bar is an obvious connection. But what the game is like in action is definitely different from the game name. I love the way the games are designed. It reminds me a lot of the first game of Life, except its not that kind of game.
Games are games. They're fun. They're addictive. They're addictive by design. They're designed to be addictive. Sports bars are basically sports bars. So it's basically like you're playing some kind of game with your beer.
You can get away with calling a bar a sports bar if you have a ton of money and a ton of disposable income. But in the last few years there have been some really weird games that are called sports bars. Sports bars are a way of having a fun party and being able to drink like a big shot. But, they are also a way to get drunk and be able to have your own personal drinking game. | eng | 5a02d24f-706d-4e2e-8a0f-66a388d4ed2e | https://nyonya4d.net/sports-bar-pleasanton/ |
X-Ray Goggles (ca. 1930)
These leather goggles were found in a physician's office that closed sometime around 1980. They were probably used during fluoroscopy procedures where the physician would spend long periods of time in the dark looking at a fluorescent screen. An XRF analysis indicates that the glass contains lead which would provide some limited degree of protection from the X-rays.
One pair employs amber colored glass. The glass in the other pair is dark green. The likely explanation is that the different colors were used to improve the visualization of the shadow images on the glowing fluorescent screen (greenish in color). | eng | e9a0e3c2-49ca-4423-84c3-4927a2b4b89f | https://orau.org/health-physics-museum/collection/radiology/fluoroscopy/x-ray-goggles.html |

Florida law dictates the minimum requirements for insurance coverage that all drivers must carry. All drivers in Florida must hold 10/10 in liability coverage and personal injury protection. Additionally, drivers can pick from a long list of additional coverages for added protection.
Quick Facts
Car insurance is required by law in Florida.
Drivers in Florida must carry 10/10 in liability and PIP.
If caught driving uninsured, drivers face $500 in fines and having their license suspended.
Minimum Car Insurance Requirements in Florida
Unlike other states, Florida does not require any bodily injury liability insurance unless you're operating a taxi, according to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Also, Florida is a no-fault state, which means that each person in an accident will use their own insurance to pay for damages regardless of who caused the accident.
Why is car insurance required in Florida?
Auto insurance protects drivers from financial liability in the event of an accident. Depending on a policy's specific coverage limitations, car insurance may cover everything from vehicle damage to medical bills.
Bodily Injury Liability
Bodily injury liability is part of your liability car insurance coverage. If you cause an accident, this coverage will help cover the other party's medical expenses. This type of coverage will not cover your own medical expenses for injuries sustained in a car accident you caused. Bodily injury liability coverage is not required in Florida except for taxi drivers.
Property Damage Liability
Property damage liability is the other half of your liability car insurance. It covers repair costs and damage expenses to the other cars involved in an accident you caused. This coverage does not cover damage to your own car in an accident you were at fault for. Property damage liability coverage is required in Florida.
Personal Injury Protection
Personal injury protection, also known as PIP, covers medical bills, lost wages, and replacement services for you and other members of your household if you're injured in a car accident. PIP provides coverage regardless of who is at fault for an accident. Personal injury protection is required in Florida.

Is state minimum car insurance enough in Florida?
The minimum required car insurance coverage in Florida provides drivers with a solid foundation of auto insurance coverage, but it may not be enough for everyone. For example, the minimum acceptable Florida auto insurance policy has no coverage for bodily injury liability.
Also, the minimum insurance requirements only protect you with up to $10,000 in PIP insurance. PIP covers 80 percent of medical expenses from a covered injury up to $10,000, but in a serious auto accident, that $10,000 could be spent quickly. A larger amount of coverage would include more coverage for medical payments.
Optional Car Insurance Coverage for Florida
Florida drivers who want to be protected in any situation should consider bolstering the minimum car insurance coverage with the following supplemental car insurance coverages:
Collision Coverage
Collision coverage covers damages to your car after a collision with another vehicle or object. If your vehicle is a total loss, collision coverage will reimburse you for the actual cash value of your vehicle. This is a great addition to the required property damage liability coverage in Florida, which applies only to the damages to the other driver's vehicle.
Comprehensive Coverage
Complementing your collision coverage, comprehensive insurance covers damage to your vehicle that occurs during an event that is not a collision with another vehicle or object. This may apply in situations of vandalism, theft, weather damage, or a run-in with an animal. Adding comprehensive and collision coverage together creates a full-coverage car insurance policy.
Other Supplemental Coverage
Many Florida drivers choose to add towing coverage to their policies. This type of coverage pays to tow the policyholder's car to a repair facility after a covered accident. You may also hear it referred to as roadside assistance.
Medical payment insurance covers medical expenses from accidental injuries and goes beyond what's covered by PIP. It covers medical expenses for you, your family members, and your passengers regardless of who is at fault for the accident.
Minimum Requirements for High-Risk Drivers in Florida
High-risk drivers face several hurdles to get back on the road after committing a serious driving offense, such as a DUI. For example, people who have been convicted of DUIs must buy bodily injury liability coverage for at least three years after their license is reinstated, including $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident, plus $50,000 for property damage.
Florida is also one of two states using the FR-44 form, which is like an SR-22 with stricter requirements. This form, which is filed by your insurance company, serves as proof of financial responsibility and verifies that you have proof of insurance.
Cheapest Minimum Car Insurance in Florida
Car insurance companies weigh different factors to determine what to quote drivers on their car insurance policies. Minimum coverage generally means lower car insurance rates. It also means low coverage limits, which may cost you if you're ever involved in an accident. Here are the cheapest car insurance quotes for minimum coverage in Florida.

Is Your Frugality Putting You in Danger?
Share this post:
Is your frugality putting you in danger? Is the pursuit of frugality worth your life? This is what the topic of dangerous frugality is all about.
What Is Dangerous Frugality?
Being frugal is good, but sometimes frugal behavior can be dangerous. Is saving money worth your health and safety?
A person recently went on to Reddit and said, "I'm all from being savvy on my shopping cart and not spend money where I don't need to, but I'm seeing so many shopping pics that lack basics like vegetables and fruit and are loaded on processed foods. It's great you can save some pennies on that, but it will come back at you through a bigger health bill. Be wealthy but not at the expense of being unhealthy. It's a balance."
Fast Food
"I had to learn this when trying to going to fast food too much. It's fast, convenient and you can find some deals.A s I saw my cholesterol go up, I started making changes. That money won't matter if my health goes down."
Eating Rice and Hot Dogs
One person shared an extreme example. "I have a couple of friends and a brother-in-law who are cheap, not frugal. Literally spent years trying to convince them that subsisting on rice and $1 hot dogs is going to make them sick.
One needs surgery now to repair the damage he did to his kidneys. The other grew a garden, and has fixed a lot of his bad habits. Considering the state of American healthcare, I do wonder if my one friend regrets his choices or still thinks he came out ahead."
Wow! That's not very smart! Why save money if you won't even be around to appreciate it?
Taking Care of Yourself
Someone added, "exactly. Taking care of yourself is an essential part of being frugal. Eating healthy is cheaper than paying for medications and doctor visits (or much worse) for the rest of your life!! Also, you'll simply feel better and have more energy! And energy = money! the times I keep seeing McDonald's on here is making me mcsad."
Misunderstanding Frugality
"Agree," said one person, "There's a huge misunderstanding of frugality on here, sadly. Think about the "I collect 'free' condiments" crowd. There's hardly anything as bad as adding extra sugars and salts to already uber-processed sugary, salty foods, but people are on here regularly delighting in their ability to do so freely."
Being Judgmental?
Other People Disagreed With the Original Sentiment
One person wrote, "Some people are doing the best they can. Not everyone has access to a decent store or limited knowledge or supplies for cooking. Eating healthy is ideal, but some eat, so they don't feel hungry. We could all nitpick others' choices, but we can offer suggestions."
That is a great point! Not everyone has the same access or even the ability to choose! | eng | e49fd95b-eefb-4639-a059-1fc5c21be3bc | https://adimesaved.com/is-your-frugality-putting-you-in-danger |

Transparency Note for Azure OpenAI Service
Article

In this article
What is a Transparency Note?
An AI system includes not only the technology, but also the people who use it, the people who are affected by it, and the environment in which it's's AI principles.
The basics of the Azure OpenAI Models
Azure OpenAI provides customers with a fully managed AI service that lets developers and data scientists apply OpenAI's powerful models including models that can generate natural language, code, and images. Within the Azure OpenAI Service, the OpenAI models are integrated with Microsoft-developed content filtering and abuse detection models. Learn more about content filtering here and abuse detection here.
Select the tabs to see content for the relevant model type.
Introduction
As part of the fully managed Azure OpenAI Service, the GPT-3 models analyze and generate natural language, Codex models analyze and generate code and plain text code commentary, and the GPT-4 models can understand and generate natural language and code. These models use an autoregressive architecture, meaning they use data from prior observations to predict the most probable next word. This process is then repeated by appending the newly generated content to the original text to produce the complete generated response. Because the response is conditioned on the input text, these models can be applied to various tasks simply by changing the input text.
The GPT-3 series of models are pretrained on a wide body of publicly available free text data. This data is sourced from a combination of web crawling (specifically, a filtered version of Common Crawl, which includes a broad range of text from the internet and comprises 60 percent of the weighted pretraining dataset) and higher-quality datasets, including an expanded version of the WebText dataset, two internet-based books corpora and English-language Wikipedia. The GPT-4 base model was trained using publicly available data (such as internet data) and data that was licensed by OpenAI. The model was fine-tuned using reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF).

Prompt
The text you send to the service in the API call. This text is then input into the model. For example, one might input the following prompt:
Convert the questions to a command: Q: Ask Constance if we need some bread A: send-msg 'find constance' Do we need some bread? Q: Send a message to Greg to figure out if things are ready for Wednesday. A:
Completion or Generation
The text Azure OpenAI outputs in response. For example, the service may respond with the following answer to the above prompt: send-msg 'find greg' figure out if things are ready for Wednesday.
Token
Azure OpenAI processes text by breaking it down into tokens. Tokens can be words or just chunks of characters. For example, the word hamburger gets broken up into the tokens ham, bur and ger, while a short and common word like pear is a single token. Many tokens start with a whitespace, for example hello and bye.
Azure OpenAI DALL·E APIs enable the generation of rich imagery from text prompts and image inputs in an application. This powerful, multimodal AI model was developed by OpenAI and can generate images that capture both the semantics and style of the text input.
Key terms
A capability that enables users to generate images that are based on text prompts.
Prompt
The text you send to the service in the API call. This text is then input into the model. For example, a user might input the following prompt for DALL-E image generation:
Text prompt: Image of a botanical garden in the style of Picasso, rendered
Generated image: Rendered image of a botanical garden in the style of Picasso.
Prompt transformation
DALL·E 3 only: The process by which all prompts sent to the service APIs are enhanced by using a static metaprompt put in place by OpenAI. This process helps you enhance the quality of your images.
Metaprompt
Sometimes referred to as the system message or system prompt, it is a message written by the developer, in this case, OpenAI, to prime the model with context, instructions, or other information with certain bounds primarily used to enforce safety instructions.
Zero-shot translation
A machine learning capability of executing on novel categories or samples.
In the case of DALL·E, it is the model's ability to execute on a user-generated text prompt that it wasn't explicitly trained on. This capability allows the model to execute and generalize to any text input.
The Whisper model in Azure OpenAI service enables access to a model that performs robust speech recognition and translation tasks. The Whisper model is an Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) model that was developed by OpenAI and is capable of transcribing speech audio files into the language that was spoken as well as translated into English.
You can learn more about training and modeling techniques for the Whisper model in the OpenAI Whisper research paper. The Whisper model is also used in the Azure AI Speech service. Learn more about the Azure AI Speech integration and evaluate it for your use here.

Transcription
The text output of the Speech to Text feature. This automatically generated text output leverages speech models and is sometimes referred to as machine transcription or automated speech recognition (ASR). Transcription in this context is fully automated, meaning it is generated by the model, and therefore is different from human transcription, which is text that is generated by human transcribers.
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR)
Also known as Speech-to-Text (STT), ASR is the process whereby a model transcribes or processes human speech as audio into text.
Speech Translation
A capability that enables users to translate speech into a designated language. At this time, the Whisper model in Azure OpenAI Service enables users to translate speech audio from non-English into English only.
Prompt
Context or cues that you can provide to the model to improve the quality of transcripts generated for your scenario. The prompt can provide instructions for processing things like jargon or acronyms, or for forcing filler words to be included. Learn more about prompts here.
Capabilities
The GPT-4, GPT-3, and Codex Azure OpenAI Service models use natural language instructions and examples in the prompt to identify the task. The model then completes the task by predicting the most probable next text. This technique is known as "in-context" learning. These models are not retrained during this step but instead give predictions based on the context you include in the prompt.
There are three main approaches for in-context learning. These approaches vary based on the amount of task-specific data that is given to the model:
Few-shot : In this case, a user includes several examples in the prompt that demonstrate the expected answer format and content. The following example shows a few-shot prompt providing multiple examplesready for Wednesday.
A: send-msg `find greg` Is everything ready forWednesday?
Q: Ask Ilya if we're still having our meeting thisevening
A: send-msg `find ilya` Are we still having a meetingthis evening?
Q: Contact the ski store and figure out if I can getmy skis fixed before I leave on Thursday
A: send-msg `find ski store` Would it be possible toget my skis fixed before I leave on Thursday?
Q: Thank Nicolas for lunch
A: send-msg `find nicolas` Thank you for lunch!
Q: Tell Constance that I won't be home before 19:30tonight — unmovable meeting.
A: send-msg `find constance` I won't be home before19:30 tonight. I have a meeting I can't move.
Q: Tell John that I need to book an appointment at10:30
A:
The number of examples typically ranges from 0 to 100 depending on how many can fit in the maximum input length for a single prompt. Few-shot learning enables a major reduction in the amount of task-specific data required for accurate predictions.
One-shot : This case is the same as the few-shot approach except only one example is provided. The following example shows a one-shot prompt ready for Wednesday.
A:
Zero-shot: In this case, no examples are provided to the model and only the task request is provided. The following example shows a zero-shot prompt:
Convert the question to a command:
Q: Ask Constance if we need some bread

The DALL·E 2 and DALL·E 3 APIs use natural language prompts to generate new content. These models were trained on pairs of images and corresponding captions that were drawn from publicly available sources and other sources that OpenAI has licensed.
These generative AI models present myriad opportunities for developers, artists, designers, educators, and others. It can bridge the gap between what you can imagine and what you can create. It allows for cross-domain, general understanding, and zero-shot translation between text prompt and images, often with a high degree of realism.
The main capabilities of the Azure OpenAI DALL·E APIs are:
Text-to-image: The model takes in a text prompt to generate images.
Example text prompt
Example generated image
"Watercolor painting of the Seattle skyline"
DALL·E 3 Prompt transformation: This embedded safety and quality mitigation is applied to every prompt sent to Azure OpenAI DALL·E 3. Prompt transformation enhances your prompts, which might lead to more diverse and higher-quality images.
Example text prompt
Example generated image without prompt transformation
Example generated image with prompt transformation
"Watercolor painting of the Seattle skyline"
The Whisper model in Azure OpenAI service enables transcription and translation of audio files. The model was trained on multilingual and multitask supervised data that was collected from the internet. These large and diverse datasets enabled improved robustness to attributes such as accents, background noise and technical language, while enabling transcription into multiple languages, and translation into English.
Azure OpenAI service provides these functionalities through two REST APIs:
Transcribing a provided audio file
Translating a provided audio file into English
The service provides the ability to synchronously process single audio files as fast as possible. This is limited to less than 15 to 30 minutes of audio depending on audio compression.
The service provides highly readable transcripts that often remove disfluencies and provide more accurate sentence boundaries, punctuation, and capitalization. You can also leverage prompts to improve the quality of the model outputs as fit for your scenario. See Best practices for improving system information for more information.
Use cases
Intended uses
The GPT-4, GPT-3, and Codex models in the Azure OpenAI service can be used in multiple scenarios. The following list isn't comprehensive, but it illustrates the diversity of tasks that can be supported with appropriate mitigations:
Chat and conversation interaction : Users can interact with a conversational agent that responds with responses drawn from trusted documents such as internal company documentation or tech support documentation. Conversations must be limited to answering scoped questions.
Chat and conversation creation : Users can create a conversational agent that responds with responses drawn from trusted documents such as internal company documentation or tech support documentation. Conversations must be limited to answering scoped questions.
Journalistic content : For use to create new journalistic content or to rewrite journalistic content submitted by the user as a writing aid for predefined topics. Users cannot use the application as a general content creation tool for all topics. May not be used to generate content for political campaigns.
Question-answering : Users can ask questions and receive answers from trusted source documents such as internal company documentation. The application does not generate answers ungrounded in trusted source documentation.
Search : Users can search trusted source documents such as internal company documentation. The application does not generate results ungrounded in trusted source documentation.
Summarization : Users can submit content to be summarized for predefined topics built into the application and cannot use the application as an open-ended summarizer. Examples include summarization of internal company documentation, call center transcripts, technical reports, and product reviews.
Writing assistance on specific topics : Users can create new content or rewrite content submitted by the user as a writing aid for business content or pre-defined topics. Users can only rewrite or create content for specific business purposes or predefined topics and cannot use the application as a general content creation tool for all topics. Examples of business content include proposals and reports. For journalistic use, see above Journalistic content use case.
Data generation for fine-tuning: Users can use a model in Azure OpenAI to generate data which is used solely to fine-tune (i) another Azure OpenAI model, using the fine-tuning capabilities of Azure OpenAI, and/or (ii) another Azure AI custom model, using the fine-tuning capabilities of the Azure AI service. Generating data and fine-tuning models is limited to internal users only; the fine-tuned model may only be used for inferencing in the applicable Azure AI service and, for Azure OpenAI service, only for customer's permitted use case(s) under this form.
Considerations when choosing a use case
We encourage customers to use the Azure OpenAI GPT-4, GPT-3, and Codex models in their innovative solutions or applications as approved in their Limited Access registration form. However, here are some considerations when choosing a use case:
Not suitable for open-ended, unconstrained content generation. Scenarios where users can generate content on any topic are more likely to produce offensive or harmful text. The same is true of longer generations.
Not suitable for scenarios where up-to-date, factually accurate information is crucial unless you have human reviewers or are using the models to search your own documents and have verified suitability for your scenario. The service does not have information about events that occur after its training date, likely has missing knowledge about some topics, and may not always produce factually accurate information.
Avoid scenarios where use or misuse of the system could result in significant physical or psychological injury to an individual. For example, scenarios that diagnose patients or prescribe medications have the potential to cause significant harm.
Avoid scenarios where use or misuse of the system could have a consequential impact on life opportunities or legal status. Examples include scenarios where the AI system could affect an individual's legal status, legal rights, or their access to credit, education, employment, healthcare, housing, insurance, social welfare benefits, services, opportunities, or the terms on which they're provided.
Avoid high stakes scenarios that could lead to harm. The models hosted by Azure OpenAI service reflect certain societal views, biases, and other undesirable content present in the training data or the examples provided in the prompt. As a result, we caution against using the models in high-stakes scenarios where unfair, unreliable, or offensive behavior might be extremely costly or lead to harm.
Carefully consider use cases in high stakes domains or industry: Examples include but are not limited to healthcare, medicine, finance, or legal.
Carefully consider well-scoped chatbot scenarios. Limiting the use of the service in chatbots to a narrow domain reduces the risk of generating unintended or undesirable responses.
Carefully consider all generative use cases. Content generation scenarios may be more likely to produce unintended outputs and these scenarios require careful consideration and mitigations.
Intended uses
The DALL·E 2 and DALL·E 3 APIs in Azure OpenAI service can be used for various image- generation scenarios. The following list isn't comprehensive, but it illustrates the diversity of tasks that can be supported with appropriate mitigations.
Education: Use to create imagery for enhanced or interactive learning materials, either for use in educational institutions or for professional training.
Entertainment: Use to create imagery to enhance entertainment content such as video games, movies, TV, videos, recorded music, podcasts, audiobooks, or augmented or virtual reality.
Journalistic content: Use to create imagery to enhance journalistic content. Should not be used to generate images for political campaigns.
Marketing: Use to create marketing materials for product or service media, product instructions, business promotion, or advertisements. Should not be used to create advertisements that are personalized or targeted to individuals.
Prototyping and conceptual development: Use to generate imagery for ideation or visualization of products or services. This use is applicable only in the context of the scenarios above.
Considerations when choosing a use case
We encourage customers to use the Azure OpenAI DALL·E 2 APIs in their innovative solutions or applications as approved in their Limited access registration form. However, here are some considerations when choosing a use case:
Do not use to generate images for political campaigns. Examples include generating images for use in political ads or collateral.
Avoid scenarios in which rights and services are available.
Avoid high-stakes scenarios that could lead to harm. The models hosted by Azure OpenAI Service might reflect certain societal views, biases, and other undesirable content present in the training data or in the examples provided in the prompt. As a result, we caution against using the models in high-stakes scenarios in which unfair, unreliable, or offensive behavior might be extremely costly or lead to harm.
Avoid scenarios in which use or misuse of the system could spread false narratives about sensitive topics or people. Examples include the creation and distribution of deepfake synthetic media, misinformation about highly sensitive events, and generation of photorealistic imagery of real people in circumstances that reflect a false narrative.
Carefully consider scenarios in which open-ended, unconstrained content generation is allowed. Scenarios in which users can generate content on any topic are more likely to produce offensive, harmful, or misleading content.
Carefully consider scenarios that involve generating media in the style of known artists with published works. For example, there could be scenarios in which users distribute generated content that's in a style of an artist who maintains intellectual property (IP) rights in original art. Cases like these could have legal consequences or consequential impacts on opportunities for artists. Consider creating a process for artists to limit the creation of images associated with their names in your product or service.
Carefully consider scenarios that involve generating images that include real people. Content that includes images of real people could be misused in a way that negatively affects life opportunities or legal status, as well as public perception and trust. Exercise caution when generating images of real people, living or dead, or of similar likeness.
Carefully consider all use cases in high-stakes domains or industry: Examples include but aren't limited to healthcare, education, finance, and legal.
Intended uses
The Whisper model in Azure OpenAI service can be used for various speech recognition and speech translation tasks. The following list isn't comprehensive, but it illustrates the diversity of tasks that can be supported with appropriate mitigations.
Dictation: Users can transcribe spoken words in the form of audio files into text. For example, a user might use the service to transcribe call center recordings into reports.
Captioning or transcription: Users can transcribe audio files into text for natural language understanding or analytic tasks like summarization and sentiment analysis. Examples include speech as input into dialog systems, making audio content more accessible, or creating a text translation to be analyzed.
Translation: Users can translate multilingual audio files into English. This may be particularly attractive in multilingual scenarios.
Considerations when choosing other use cases
We encourage customers to use the Whisper model in Azure OpenAI service in their innovative solutions or applications. Here are some considerations when choosing a use case:
Avoid scenarios in which the items are available.
Carefully consider all use cases in high-stakes domains or industries: Examples include but are not limited to healthcare, education, finance, and legal.
Whisper in Azure Speech service: The or processing multiple audio files per request.
Limitations
When it comes to large-scale natural language models, vision models, and speech models, there are fairness and responsible AI issues to consider. People use language and images to describe the world and to express their beliefs, assumptions, attitudes, and values. As a result, publicly available text and image data typically used to train large-scale natural language processing and image generation models contains societal biases relating to race, gender, religion, age, and other groups of people, as well as other undesirable content. Similarly, speech models can exhibit different levels of accuracy across different demographic groups and languages. These societal biases are reflected in the distributions of words, phrases, and syntactic structures.
Technical limitations, operational factors, and ranges
Caution
Be advised that this section contains illustrative examples which include terms and language that some individuals might find offensive.
Large-scale natural language, image, and speech models trained with such data can potentially behave in ways that are unfair, unreliable, or offensive, in turn causing harms. Some of the ways are listed here. We emphasize that these types of harms are not mutually exclusive. A single model can exhibit more than one type of harm, potentially relating to multiple different groups of people. For example:
Allocation: These models can be used in ways that lead to unfair allocation of resources or opportunities. For example, automated résumé screening systems can withhold employment opportunities from one gender if they are trained on résumé data that reflects the existing gender imbalance in a particular industry. Or the DALL·E models could be used to create imagery in the style of a known artist, which could affect the value of the artist's work or the artist's life opportunities.
Quality of service: The Azure OpenAI models are trained primarily on English text and images with English text descriptions. Languages other than English will experience worse performance. English language varieties with less representation in the training data might experience worse performance than standard American English. The publicly available images used to train the DALL·E models might reinforce public bias and other undesirable content. The DALL-E models are also unable to consistently generate comprehensible text at this time. Speech models might introduce other limitations, for example, translations using the Whisper model in Azure OpenAI are limited to English output only. Broadly speaking, with Speech-to-Text models, be sure to properly specify a language (or locale) for each audio input to improve accuracy in transcription. Additionally, acoustic quality of the audio input, non-speech noise, overlapped speech, vocabulary, accents, and insertion errors might also affect the quality of your transcription or translation.
Stereotyping: These models can reinforce stereotypes. For example, when translating "He is a nurse" and "She is a doctor" into a genderless language such as Turkish and then back into English, many machine translation systems yield the stereotypical (and incorrect) results of "She is a nurse" and "He is a doctor." With DALL·E, when generating an image based on the prompt "Fatherless children," the model could generate images of Black children only, reinforcing harmful stereotypes that might exist in publicly available images.
Demeaning: The natural language and vision models in the Azure OpenAI service can demean people. For example, an open-ended content generation system with inappropriate or insufficient mitigations might produce content that is offensive or demeaning to a particular group of people.
Overrepresentation and underrepresentation: The natural language and vision models in the Azure OpenAI service can over- or under-represent groups of people, or even erase their representation entirely. For example, if text prompts that contain the word "gay" are detected as potentially harmful or offensive, this identification could lead to the underrepresentation or even erasure of legitimate image generations by or about the LGBTQIA+ community.
Inappropriate or offensive content: The natural language and vision models in the Azure OpenAI service can produce other types of inappropriate or offensive content. Examples include the ability to generate text that is inappropriate in the context of the text or image prompt;, the ability to create images that potentially contain harmful artifacts such as hate symbols; images that illicit harmful connotations; images that relate to contested, controversial, or ideologically polarizing topics; images that are manipulative; images that contain sexually charged content that is not caught by sexual-related content filters; and images that relate to sensitive or emotionally charged topics. For example, a well-intentioned text prompt aimed to create an image of the New York skyline with clouds and airplanes flying over it might unintentionally generate images that illicit sentiments related to the events surrounding 9/11.
Disinformation and misinformation about sensitive topics: Because DALL·E 2 and DALL·E 3 are powerful image generation models, they can be used to produce disinformation and misinformation that can be harmful. For example, a user could prompt the model to generate an image of a political leader engaging in activity of a violent or sexual (or simply inaccurate) nature that might lead to consequential harms, including but not limited to public protests, political change, or fake news.
Information reliability: Language and vision model responses can generate nonsensical content or fabricate content that might sound reasonable but is inaccurate with respect to external validation sources. Even when drawing responses from trusted source information, responses might misrepresent that content. Transcriptions or translations might result in inaccurate text.
False information: Azure OpenAI does not fact-check or verify content that is provided by customers or users. Depending on how you have developed your application, it might produce false information unless you have built in mitigations (see Best practices for improving system performance).
System performance
In many AI systems, performance is often defined in relation to accuracy—that is, how often the AI system offers a correct prediction or output. With large-scale natural language models and vision models, two different users might look at the same output and have different opinions of how useful or relevant it is, which means that performance for these systems must be defined more flexibly. Here, we broadly consider performance to mean that the application performs as you and your users expect, including not generating harmful outputs.
Azure OpenAI service can support a wide range of applications like search, classification, code generation, image generation, and image understanding, each with different performance metrics and mitigation strategies. There are several steps you can take to mitigate some of the concerns listed under "Limitations" and to improve performance. Other important mitigation techniques are outlined in the section Evaluating and integrating Azure OpenAI for your use.
Best practices for improving system performance
Show and tell when designing prompts. With natural language models and speech models, make it clear to the model what kind of outputs you expect through instructions, examples, or a combination of the two. If you want the model to rank a list of items in alphabetical order or to classify a paragraph by sentiment, show the model that is what you want.
Prompts for the Whisper model in Azure OpenAI service can help improve model outputs. The following best practices will help you create prompts that best fit your scenario and needs.
Consider including a prompt to instruct the model to correct specific words or acronyms that the model often misrecognizes in the audio.
To preserve the context of a file that was split into segments, you might prompt the model with the transcript of the preceding segment. This prompt will make the transcript more accurate, because the model will use the relevant information from the previous audio. The model will only consider the final 224 tokens of the prompt and ignore anything earlier.
The model might skip punctuation in the transcript. Consider using a simple prompt that instructs the model to include punctuation.
The model might also leave out common filler words, for example, hmmm, umm, etc. in the audio. If you want to keep the filler words in your transcript, you might include a prompt that contains them.
Some languages can be written in different ways, such as simplified or traditional Chinese. The model might not always use the writing style that a user wants for their transcript by default. Consider using a prompt to describe your preferred writing style.
Keep your application on topic. Carefully structure prompts and image inputs to reduce the chance of producing undesired content, even if a user tries to use it for this purpose. For instance, you might indicate in your prompt that a chatbot only engages in conversations about mathematics and otherwise responds "I'm sorry. I'm afraid I can't answer that." Adding adjectives like "polite" and examples in your desired tone to your prompt can also help steer outputs. With DALL·E models, you might indicate in your prompt or image input that your application generates only conceptual images. It might otherwise generate a pop-up notification that explains that the application is not for photorealistic use or to portray reality. Consider nudging users toward acceptable queries and image inputs, either by listing such examples up front or by offering them as suggestions upon receiving an off-topic request. Consider training a classifier to determine whether an input (prompt or image) is on topic or off topic.
Provide quality data. With text and code models, if you are trying to build a classifier or get the model to follow a pattern, make sure that there are enough examples. Be sure to proofread your examples—the model is usually capable of processing basic spelling mistakes and giving you a response, but it also might assume errors are intentional which could affect the response. Providing quality data also includes giving your model reliable data to draw responses from in chat and question answering systems.
Measure model quality. As part of general model quality, consider measuring and improving fairness-related metrics and other metrics related to responsible AI in addition to traditional accuracy measures for your scenario. Consider resources like this checklist when you measure the fairness of the system. These measurements come with limitations, which you should acknowledge and communicate to stakeholders along with evaluation results.
Limit the length, structure, and rate of inputs and outputs. Restricting the length or structure of inputs and outputs can increase the likelihood that the application will stay on task and mitigate, at least in part, any potentially unfair, unreliable, or offensive behaviour. Other options to reduce the risk of misuse include (i) restricting the source of inputs (for example, limiting inputs to a particular domain or to authenticated users rather than being open to anyone on the internet) and (ii) implementing usage rate limits.
Encourage human review of outputs prior to publication or dissemination. With generative AI, there is potential for generating content that might be offensive or not related to the task at hand, even with mitigations in place. To ensure that the generated output meets the task of the user, consider building ways to remind users to review their outputs for quality prior to sharing widely. This practice can reduce many different harms, including offensive material, disinformation, and more.
Implement additional scenario-specific mitigations. Refer to the mitigations outlined in Evaluating and integrating Azure OpenAI for your use including content moderation strategies. These recommendations do not represent every mitigation that might be required for your application, but they point to the general minimum baseline we check for when approving use cases for Azure OpenAI Service.

few household items and a little bit of patience, you'll have your bathroom sink running smoothly again in no time. So, roll up your sleeves and let's dive into the world of unclogging bathroom sinks!
How to Unclog a Bathroom Sink
Section 1: Understanding the Common Causes of a Clogged Bathroom Sink
Before we dive into the various methods to unclog a bathroom sink, it's essential to understand the common causes of this issue. By identifying the root cause, you can take preventive measures to avoid future clogs.
1.1 Accumulated Hair and Soap Scum
One of the primary reasons for a clogged bathroom sink is the accumulation of hair and soap scum over time. As you wash your hands or brush your teeth, small strands of hair and soap residue can easily find their way into the drain, leading to a blockage.
1.2 Toothpaste and Other Product Buildup
Another culprit behind a clogged bathroom sink is the buildup of toothpaste and other personal care products. Over time, these materials can stick to the drainage pipes, reducing water flow and eventually causing a clog.
Section 2: Tools and Materials You'll Need
Now that you understand the common causes of a clogged bathroom sink, let's gather the necessary tools and materials to unclog it effectively. Having the right tools on hand will make the process much smoother.
2.1 Plunger
A plunger is a versatile tool that can help dislodge minor clogs in your bathroom sink. It creates pressure and suction, forcing the blockage to move and allowing water to flow freely once again.
2.2 Wire Hanger
A wire hanger can be easily bent and maneuvered through the drain pipe to remove any hair or debris causing the clog. It's an inexpensive and effective tool for clearing simple blockages.
2.3 Drain Snake
A drain snake, or auger, is a useful tool for removing more stubborn clogs. It features a long, flexible cable that can be inserted into the drain to break apart or pull out the obstruction.
2.4 White Vinegar and Baking Soda
White vinegar and baking soda, when combined, create a powerful foaming agent that can break down grease, soap scum, and other organic matter causing the clog. These household items are eco-friendly alternatives to harsh chemicals.
Section 3: Step-by-Step Guide to Unclog a Bathroom Sink
3.1 Step 1: Remove the Sink Stopper
The first step in unclogging a bathroom sink is to remove the sink stopper, if applicable. Different types of sink stoppers have various removal methods, so consult the manufacturer's instructions for guidance.
3.2 Step 2: Use a Plunger
For minor clogs, a plunger can often do the trick. Ensure there is enough water in the sink to cover the rubber suction cup of the plunger, then vigorously plunge up and down several times. Repeat as necessary until the clog is cleared.
3.3 Step 3: Try a Wire Hanger
If the plunger doesn't work, a wire hanger can be an effective tool. Straighten the hanger and create a small hook at one end. Insert it into the drain and gently maneuver it back and forth, pulling out any hair or debris causing the clog.
3.4 Step 4: Implement the Vinegar and Baking Soda Method
If the clog persists, it's time to harness the power of vinegar and baking soda. Start by pouring a cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by a cup of white vinegar. Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes, then flush it with hot water.
3.5 Step 5: Deploy the Drain Snake
If all else fails, it's time to bring in the big guns – the drain snake. Insert the snake into the drain, twisting it as you push it forward. Keep going until you encounter resistance, then rotate and pull back to dislodge or remove the clog.
3.6 Step 6: Rinse and Test
After successfully unclogging the bathroom sink, run hot water for a few minutes to flush away any remaining debris. Test the sink by allowing the water to flow freely and ensuring the clog is completely cleared.
Section 4: Preventive Measures to Avoid Future Clogs
No one enjoys dealing with a clogged bathroom sink. To prevent future blockages, consider implementing the following preventive measures:
4.1 Use Sink Strainers
Installing a sink strainer can catch hair and other debris before it enters the drain, significantly reducing the chances of a clog.
4.2 Regular Cleaning
Regularly clean your bathroom sink to prevent the buildup of soap scum, toothpaste, and other product residue. Wipe down the sink and remove any visible debris or hair.
4.3 Avoid Pouring Grease or Oils
Never pour grease or cooking oils down the bathroom sink, as they can solidify and cause stubborn clogs. Dispose of them properly in a separate container.
4.4 Flush with Hot Water
At least once a month, pour boiling water down the drain to help dissolve any accumulated residue and keep the pipes clear.
Section 5: Conclusion
Dealing with a clogged bathroom sink can be a frustrating experience, but armed with the right knowledge and tools, you can easily tackle the issue. By understanding the common causes of clogs, having the necessary tools, and following our step-by-step guide, you'll be able to unclog your bathroom sink effectively and prevent future blockages. Remember to implement preventive measures to keep your sink running smoothly and avoid unnecessary headaches.

Mayor Of Buca Municipal Erhan KILIC
Science and art are the most significant points in society. Science is a keystone to the existence of a society. Societies not producing science are doomed not only to remain behind but also to be managed by others. As Buca Municipality we know that raising individuals to internalize science and to be ready for the future is the only way to make our children and young people ready for tomorrow. Thus it is very important to get our children together with their national and international peers and allow them to interact with each other both culturally and scientifically.
Art is not only a mirror to reflect today's society but also an heritage left to hundreds of years later and a way of self-expression for society. Sometimes art serves as a guide to lead science and offers an insight to tomorrow. It is not a coincidence that many scientists in the past are also great artists. Most important feature of such geniuses is their imagination. Science and art are the elements that feed each other, sometimes interwine to each other and build societies' tomorrow.
We brought Buca Municipality Kızılçullu Science and Art Center into service in order to inspire and pave the way for the scientists and artists of the future and to encourage them to think freely and creatively at young ages. We will show our hospitality to young people from all around the world who are interested in science, art and technology and open to change and development in BUCA IMSEF (International Music, Science, Energy and Engineering Fair) Science & Art Fair to be held at Izmir, Buca.
Our young people will have a larger vision as well as the opportunity to know different cultures in interaction with their peers around the world. We will have a chance to advertise our country, Izmir and Buca with their all historical and cultural values. We will feel honored and happy to host BUCA IMSEF Science & Art Fair and to welcome the young people from all around the world. | eng | 39b30925-c7d8-47a6-acf5-bdd15b6e7ae8 | http://www.bucaimsef.org/en/president |

That. Was. Amazing. I've been keto paleo forever (like 50 years on and off), have been following Peter and hyperlipid for more than a decade or two, and totally have embraced Brad's hypothesis. You not only explained it extremely well you've brought in these other things (light, etc.) which I find fascinating and make a lot of sense. And they branch off the foundation of Peter and Brad. Great job, thank you.
The obvious question is: how to turn this into a massive consumer fad? The low-fat craze in the 1990s had major effects on the food supply, particularly screwing up pork quality (by breeding pigs that don't do de novo lipogenesis anymore, so end up getting almost all their body fat from their high-PUFA dietary fat) and tanking full fat dairy. So hopefully, a "low-seed-oils" craze could accomplish the reverse. IIRC there are already GMO soybeans (Plenish) that produce a lot more oleic acid and a lot less linoleic acid; popularizing these could be a way to smooth the food supply transition.
I'd hope for government action, but given the levels of competence and benevolence among our various bureaucracies revealed (to me, others understood it earlier) by COVID, I'd rather the government stay as far away as possible from diabesity/metabolic syndrome epidemic. The high n-6 PUFA + high carbohydrate (notably, n-6 PUFAs don't seem to be as bad on ketogenic diets, probably because they get burned immediately rather than stored) dietary recommendations that they've helped push on the country would make the govt a major cause of the obesity crisis, if the n-6 PUFA theory is correct.
Interesting take! Maybe dumb question, but how does that square up with countries which traditionally also have low obesity AND high consumption of vegetable oils? I'm thinking specifically Mediterranean diet / olive oil. Granted I think olive oil has low linoleic acid content relative to other vegetable oils but still? | eng | 1cce944e-3f0f-4aeb-8c67-ec3a281b1c50 | https://arcove.substack.com/p/bear-nation/comments |

Cognitive-behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive-behavioral therapy, or CBT for short, is a psychological treatment that has been shown to be effective for a lot of psychological issues. CBT consists of two parts, cognitive and behavioral. The cognitive piece utilizes psychological techniques to help us break free from the troublesome thoughts that plague us. The cognitive piece also serves the role of supporting ERP (more on this below). The behavioral component in CBT emphasizes behavior change. As we change our behavior, our thoughts and feelings often change. | eng | 9199fe52-e697-47ad-95f8-24241a24880b | https://www.allthingsocd.com/cognitive-behavioral-therapy |
WUZDA Ghana has provided training to its vegetable farmer groups in the six communities it is implementing the 'Farm-Promoting Urban Organic Waste for Food and Livelihood Security', 'FaPUOWaFLiS' Project.
The training, facilitated by Professor at the University for Development Studies (UDS), Ing. Professor Abdul Ganiyu Shaibu, is aimed at re-awakening the spirit of ownership among community beneficiaries to the 'FaPUOWaFLiS' Project and how they can take advantage of it to make gains through their vegetables cultivation.
Ing. Professor Abdul Ganiyu of the UDS Conducting the training for the Wovogu and Wovoguma Communities
Five communities in the northern region, Manguli, Dunyin and Datoyili in the Tamale Metropolis, Wovogu and Wovoguma in the Sagnarigu Municipality all together have over eighty vegetable farmers, both men and women, who have received support under the project to help them commercialize their farming activities.
The sixth community, Bunglung in the Savelugu Municipality, which is going through the process of initialization, with about twenty farmers, is yet to receive this training.
Professor Abdul Ganiyu Shaibu drew attention of the farmers to why there is the need for them to view their activities beyond just the level of 'farming to feed the family', but should attach some business mindset to it to ensure their yields improve and are marketable to raise their economic livelihoods.
Field laid with drip tapes for watering a vegetable
According to Professor Ganiyu, Some communities in neighboring countries to Ghana have succeeded in using only dry season farming to feed their community members, as well as becoming suppliers of some vegetables to many parts of Ghana, as they rely heavily on the drip irrigation technology.
He cited the example of Burkina Faso where most of the tomatoes Ghanaians consume come from, where according to him, the land is not even fertile as compared to Ghana's.
Professor Abdul Ganiyu said through the drip irrigation system, one lateral on a farm field can contain many crops since the system helps in checking spacing and water wastage.
He showed the farmers through pictures how the drip irrigation system could be used to cultivate any crop apart from vegetables.
As part of the project, there is the training of Para – Agric Extension Agents through the use of mobile phone technology, where two people are chosen from each group to represent the entire group, as they receive audio messages on information regarding how to engage in their farming practices with a touch of best practice and business mindedness.
The Media and Communication Officer of WUZDA Ghana, Shaibu Awudu took the farmers through the need why the project is taking advantage of technology to provide them the training.
He showed them through pictures how a platform WUZDA Ghana owns will be sending them audio information in the form of calls regarding each of the steps involved in the farming value chain.
This he said is necessary for convenience sake, since they can be working on their farms and listening to the information on their mobile phones.
These messages according to Shaibu, will also lead the farmers on information on how to preserve and package their produce after harvesting, to enable it attract good market, as poor preservation and packaging both have separate tendencies to drive away buyers and potential ones.
As a follow up and to cement the foundation for the training of the Para – Agric Extension Agents, the two representatives of each farmer group in the communities were invited to the office of WUZDA Ghana and given new mobile phones with newly registered SIM Cards to aid them receive the messages without any interruptions from other callers.
The farmers, both on the field where Professor Ganiyu Shaibu delivered the training, as well as at the offices of WUZDA Ghana where they received further training on communication and the mobile phone, thanked WUZDA Ghana for the initiative and eye opening sessions which according to them, will aid them turn to the best practice in farming, henceforth.
Some of them who commented on the trainings indicated that they have been akin to the old ways of doing things, which do not really yield much positive results, but the trainings and approaches WUZDA Ghana has introduced, are those that they can see clearly, would help reduce drastically, the poverty levels among the farmer population in the rural communities. | eng | a9ba9bc3-2ff2-4fb9-9db3-6d967b68039b | https://wuzdagh.org/2020/02/05/wuzda-ghana-conducts-training-for-farmers-on-the-drip-irrigation-and-mobile-messaging-technologies/ |

A mag 6.0 - 40km S of Binuangeun, Indonesia is the sixth major quake of 2018 and each one has occurred as a coronal hole faced Earth
USGS
A mag 6.0 - 40km S of Binuangeun, Indonesia, not too far from Indonesia's active and erratic Mount Agung volcano on the island of Bali is the sixth major quake of January and 2018 of course.
The epicentre of the quake was less than 100km's from Indonesia's capital Jakarta, there is no tsunami warning for the shallow quake.
Today's major quake comes at the back end of a coronal hole on our Sun
For the second day in a row, a stream of solar wind is blowing around Earth faster than 500 km/s (1.1 million mph) as the coronal hole begins to turn away from facing Earth.
All six major quakes this year have come as a coronal hole faced the Earth.
It is a Big Wobble project this year to document just how many major quakes occur during a coronal hole facing Earth, so far, it's 6 from 6, 100 %.
Below is an SDO picture showing the coronal hole on our Sun

Our sun produced a rare "burp" yesterday, see graph above, as the Sun's sunspot activity has gone into hibernation due to the Sun entering Solar Minimum (Solar minimum is the period of least solar activity in the 11-year solar cycle of the sun. During this time, sunspot and solar flare activity diminishes and often does not occur for days at a time).
However, sunspot AR2696 erupted yesterday well, it was more a burp than an eruption.
According to Spaceweather.com, the explosion produced a minor B9-class solar flare and hurled a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space.
Because of the blast site's location near the sun's western limb, the CME is unlikely to hit Earth. Nevertheless, NOAA analysts are modelling the CME's trajectory to rule out an impact | eng | 13a011cb-9a59-4343-a281-42ca0e0b9704 | https://www.thebigwobble.org/2018/01/a-mag-60-40km-s-of-binuangeun-indonesia.html |

Highlights from Latest Inspection
Outcome
King Harold Business & Enterprise Academy continues to be a good school.
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils are happy and feel safe at King Harold Business & Enterprise Academy. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from a curriculum that is well planned and taught. Pupils demonstrate a positive attitude to their learning.
This helps them to achieve well.
Pupils are respectful of each other. They learn about, and are considerate of, different faiths and cultures.
Pupils say that behaviour has improved this year. This is because clear expectations have been established. Classrooms are purposeful places... where pupils can learn.
When low-level disruption interrupts learning, it is dealt with quickly by teachers. Behaviour around the school at breaktimes is calm and orderly. While not common in the school, bullying is dealt with quickly by staff when and if it happens.
There are a wide range of opportunities to engage pupils beyond the curriculum, for example a popular residential trip to Paris. Pupils say that teachers listen to their views about clubs and activities that they would like to take part in. As a result of the most recent consultation, new clubs such as LBGT and zen clubs were introduced.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Leaders have high expectations for both the curriculum and pupils' behaviour. In most subjects, the plans are ambitious and clearly set out. They consider what pupils will learn and when they will learn it.
In a small number of subjects curriculum plans are at an earlier stage of development. In these areas, the curriculum implementation is not as strong.
Teachers, including early career teachers, are supported to develop the knowledge they need to teach the curriculum content well.
Teachers take time to review learning to identify gaps in pupils' knowledge before moving on. This means that they can adapt lessons to address the gaps that they identify. When teaching new content, teachers break down learning into small steps.
This helps all pupils, and particularly those pupils with SEND, to remember what they are learning.
Leaders accurately identify the individual needs of pupils with SEND. These pupils usually receive effective support.
However, some individual support plans for pupils with SEND lack ambition. Leaders are aware of this and have taken action to address this. Individual support for pupils in lessons is in place.
This helps them to access the same curriculum as others and achieve well most of the time.
At Key Stage 4, leaders are aware that more pupils need to gain specific qualifications to achieve the English Baccalaureate. Leaders have been working to address this through strengthening the provision and increasing the number of pupils who study modern foreign languages.
Leaders have supported those who find reading tricky. However, the interventions used have not been as successful as leaders would have hoped. Leaders have reviewed their support in this area and know what will make the most positive difference to pupils.
Texts selected for study within the curriculum promote diversity and the wider development of pupils.
Staff and pupils say that behaviour has improved in the school. They say that expectations are clearly laid out and consistently followed.
Pupils' attendance is not where leaders want it to be. This is the case particularly for disadvantaged pupils. Leaders have put strategies in place that are beginning to improve attendance.
However, these are in their early stages of making a difference to how well pupils attend school.
Leaders support pupils' personal development through the three core themes. These are health and well-being, relationships, and the wider world.
The knowledge that pupils need is taught in an age-appropriate way through lessons and assemblies. Pupils benefit from expert visitors to school and off-timetable days that focus on personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE).
High-quality careers advice and guidance are provided through, for example, a recent visit from a local construction company.
Pupils feel well supported in this important area of their development.
Staff say that workload is high, but that staff work together well. Staff focus on the actions that have the greatest impact on pupils.
Senior leaders, including governors, in the school are supportive and consider well-being.
Safeguarding
The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
Leaders provide effective safeguarding training for all staff and governors.
There are regular updates about issues that might pose a threat to pupils. This means staff are clear about the signs that might indicate a potential safeguarding risk and the actions to take.Leaders keep detailed and accurate records.
This supports them to seek appropriate external professional support where this is needed.
Pupils know that if they can talk to a member of staff if they have any concerns. Pupils value the information they learn, for example how to recognise healthy and unhealthy relationships.
What does the school need to do to improve?
(Information for the school and appropriate authority)
• There is some minor variability in the quality of education across curriculum areas. This is recognised by leaders. Despite a consistency in approach, there are a few subjects where the curriculum is more established than in others.
Leaders in those less well implemented subject areas need to review the curriculum plans that are in place, assess where improvements need to be made and adapt the content to ensure that all pupils, including those with SEND, learn the knowledge and skills they need to achieve well. ? Leaders recognise that the attendance of pupils at the school is not where it needs to be, even taking into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Persistent absence of pupils, including those from the most disadvantaged backgrounds, is higher than it should be.
Leaders have started to put systems in place to raise expectations around attendance. However, there is still significant work to do to improve this and ensure that disruption to pupils' learning is minimised May page. | eng | 9117cff8-b73f-4944-ba0e-c505fedcc469 | https://www.locrating.com/schools-King-Harold-Business-&-Enterprise-Academy-0urn136342.aspx |
@Greeny111 no I mean both "it's the/just little things" have different meaning (which is showing appreciation to little things), and therefore I wondered that using those phrases in a different context wouldn't sound correct.
@asmar001 yah, the phrases cannot be used interchangeably. "its the little things" would imply the little things and everything else while "Its just little things" would imply its only little things
for example. "its just little things that matter" would mean that only the little things matter and everything else doesn't. while "its the little things that matter" would imply that little things matter along with everything else.
in this context though they would both have essentially the same meaning due to surrounding context | eng | ff9c3d84-71cc-40b6-a946-ff4a06a874a3 | https://hinative.com/questions/23437047 |
Does your business premises get lots of trash, and you are looking for an efficient way to get rid of it? Commercial establishments produce all kinds of waste due to the high human traffic- from packaging material, cleaning products, clothing, all through to food leftovers- it all must be disposed of appropriately. The garbage is a pest magnet. Within hours the place can be crawling with different kinds of insects and rodents looking to grab a quick bite. That's a health hazard. Don't forget the awful odour that results from the waste, and ends up permeating through the premises. Hence it is crucial to have an intricate waste management system in place- and that's why bins are vital. However, for them to be effective, they need to be lined with bags. Otherwise you'd have to spend more time and resources getting the bin cleaned up, due to the grime that sticks to its surfaces and edges. There's also the risk of leaks from the bin directly into the immediate vicinity. You also don't want to discolour the waste receptacle due to the reagents and corrosive material that may be in the waste. You can circumvent all this by going for the Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags.
Quality in trash bags involves a myriad of issues. Top on the list is convenience and durability. You want a bag that can hold up to the tough demands of your commercial premises. The last thing you want happening is the bin bag tearing as you take out the trash, and spilling the contents onto the floor, or within the bin itself. The resultant sight would be deplorable. It would also mean more maintenance work and loss of value for your purchase. Besides, the reason you got the bin bags in the first place was to be able to hold the garbage without messing up the bin itself. You also don't want to be forced to double bag the bin bag simply because it can't handle the huge amount of waste that is constantly being generated by your establishment. You can avoid all this mishaps by opting for a high quality product. That's where the Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags come in. Here's what to expect from them:
Why You Should Invest In The Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags
1. Built for tough
The Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags come with high strength attributes. This has made them popular in high waste generation areas like restaurants and catering events. They will hold the trash without tearing, from magazines, drink and egg cartons, plus other kinds of paper waste, those containers left behind when you finish using the cleaning products, plastic bottles and bags, glassware, all through to organic matter such as leftover foods, spoiled fruits, and bones from meats and fish. In case you're doing some gardening at home, the Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags will also come in handy. Use them to dispose of those small branches that you pruned, the weeds and grass cuttings.
2. High capacity
The Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags come in at 26" x 45". This enables them to haul large mounds of waste at a go. It also reduces the frequency with which you'll be needed to change the bin bags.
3. See-through
The Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags are completely clear. There are no colours or obstructing pigments to dampen their transparent nature. You will be able to see what goes into exactly what bag. This makes it easy to separate the waste for recycling, composting, and which is to be disposed of in the landfill. As such, the Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags enable you to increase awareness about recycling in your establishment, and you may even pay lower disposal costs. These are incentives put in place by various municipal authorities in order to encourage recycling. Using the clear bags also increases the safety of the garbage collectors. They usually face potential hazards caused by items in the trash that they may not see, like needles and broken glass- exposing them to serious illnesses. The Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags enables them to assess the contents and avoid contact with such objects.
4. 100% biodegradable
Future generations are depending on us to protect the world that they will inherit. This has seen government bodies, regularity institutions and individuals around the world come together to reduce the negative impact industrialisation has made to the environment. Most of the waste generated by residential and commercial activities around the world ends up in landfills, or gets burnt. Both have their effects. Landfills are choke-full of greenhouse gases like methane, which is over 84 times more potent compared to carbon dioxide, due to how effectively it traps heat. Backyard burning on the other hand causes dioxins to be released into the atmosphere, and these are toxic to humans, plants and animals alike. Hence, you want an eco-friendly way to manage your establishment's waste. This ranges from recycling all through to using biodegradable products. The Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags will enables you to achieve your goals. They are naturally broken down by microorganisms in the area onto which they are disposed, which reduces the amount of waste that remains in the landfills. In addition when you're getting rid of organic waste, the Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags ensure that the nutrients will eventually get released into the soil, rejuvenating it. As such, you get to eliminate trash and reduce your carbon footprint simultaneously.
5. Economical
You get to manage the garbage generated in your enterprise more cost effectively with the Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags. First, they are affordable, enabling you to make savings right from the onset of the purchase. Secondly, each roll has 25 bags, enabling every purchase you make to serve you for much longer. In addition, the spacious nature of the Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags means that more volume is available to hold the trash, giving you more use out of every single bag.
DOs And DON'Ts Of The Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags
· DO set up the waste receptacles with the Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags at points where the garbage is highly generated within the establishment- like an easy to reach area in the restaurant's kitchen.
· DO close the lid of the garbage bin. You don't want pests finding their way in it.
· DON'T pour spoilt milk and other liquid waste directly into the Biodegradable Heavy Duty Clear Refuse Bags. The increased moisture content will accelerate the decay of the organic matter within the trash. Double bag the liquid waste first, then toss it into the bin | eng | 126ed998-620b-48d1-895f-9482fc1cad3a | https://cleanfast.ie/biodegradable-heavy-duty-clear-refuse-bags-on-roll-html |
diversity
Latest story presentationMore stories health California ofA survey of tech and sales talent revealed there's some confusion around the acronym DEI, prompting some respondents to ask, "what is DEI?" In this article we'll explain it as well as explain how Hired, as a company and a tech and sales career marketplace, helps jobseekers and employers experience more equitable hiring.
What is DEI?
Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), together, are indicators of a progressive and supportive workplace centered around employee wellbeing and sense of belonging. In a field as forward-thinking and transformative as tech, DEI provides the necessary foundation for greater innovation through a range of voices, experiences, and backgrounds.
Diversity
The first pillar of DEI, diversity, signifies the presence of difference in characteristics including:
Diversity means everyone is welcome. In a less palpable sense, diversity also exists in the vein of thought. Different people bring different ideas and approaches spurring creativity and efficiency. In these areas, homogeneity can't compete.
Therefore, to be competitive, it benefits organizations to consistently identify non-traditional talent. It creates more robust pipelines of candidates with new ideas to drive businesses forward.
Equity
Equity helps level the playing field by ensuring impartiality and equal access to opportunity for every individual through recognition of biases and barriers.
In the context of gender, data from our 2022 Wage Inequality Report shows despite progress, women are still overall less likely to receive an interview request than men. This situation could be described as an "opportunity gap."
Equity means everyone has the opportunity to participate. A robust pipeline of diverse candidates will not have the chance to develop unless there are equitable processes in place to allow a variety of individuals to be considered.
It's important to note that equity and equality are not interchangeable terms. While equality also aims to provide resources for everyone to succeed, it does not consider that people start on a different footing. Equity, on the other hand, accounts for these disparities by providing support, or opportunity, based on imbalances in power and privilege.
Inclusion
Inclusion, the last pillar of DEI, ensures the workplace is a safe space for every employee to engage and feel they belong. It means empowering employees to bring their most authentic selves forward and feel comfortable contributing their insights, knowing they will be heard.
Inclusion means everyone gets to contribute. It upholds diversity by embracing every identity and fostering a workplace for all individuals to thrive.
As a leader in diversity recruiting and hiring tools, we have a direct impact on equitable hiring and are committed to building equity in the hiring process. We are on a mission to empower connections between ambitious people and teams, but can't accomplish it without supporting a diverse workforce. Embracing diversity helps us live out our values and drives our mission forward.
By putting people first, we prioritize development and wellbeing. Doing so helps people flourish and feel valued, knowing they can bring their best, authentic selves to work.
At Hired, we find strength through inclusion because what makes each person unique makes us all strong.
How Hired embraces DEI as an employer
As a company, we're always evolving, but some of the ways Hired demonstrates DEI is following the principles when attracting and hiring talent.
For example, when we create job descriptions, we use tools like Textio to identify any language considered counter to our DEI efforts.
We support an employee resource group, or ERG, called Unite. They lead internal efforts in partnership with the People Team in the form of professional development, open discussions, and building awareness.
This year, one of Unite's activities has been to host a book club featuring books by diverse authors. They also sponsor philanthropic activities.

5 Specific DEI features and tools on Hired's platform to help jobseekers and employers
One of the reasons leading talent organizations use Hired is to drive diversity in their hiring. Here are some of the features we've developed based on data and insights to reduce bias.
When employers use them, it creates greater equity for jobseekers and a more DEI-friendly environment. Along with our policy of including salary upfront in interview requests, these help improve gaps in expectations, wages, and opportunities.
1. Diversity Goals
We launched Diversity Goals last year as a new way for employers to prioritize outreach to underrepresented talent, without removing relevant matching candidates. Updated filters easily surface these jobseekers to recruiters and hiring managers.
Diversity Goals makes the impact of DEI in hiring clear. Companies with open positions using this feature more than doubled their pipeline of underrepresented candidates. Companies using Diversity Goals also had both a lower wage and expectation gap compared to companies who didn't use the feature.
More good news is the amount of employers using Diversity Goals continues to grow rapidly, meaning companies and jobseekers will continue to see the benefits of DEI in action.
2. Salary bias alert
Our data continues to show groups who are paid less also expect lower salaries than their white, male counterparts – even if they have the same experience. In our 2022 Wage Inequality Report, we found race contributes to the expectation gap – with Hispanic women and Black women only expecting $0.91 to every $1 salary of their white male counterparts in 2021 Hired data.
The Salary Bias Alert feature addresses wage inequality goals by notifying employers if they are offering a lower salary than they typically do for a given job role. This helps eliminate the impact of bias on a job offer and holds employers accountable.
3. Bias reduction mode
Bias, even when it's not conscious, can impact sourcing decisions. Activating this mode removes jobseekers' profile pictures and names so employers focus evaluations solely on skills and experience.
4. Salary Calculator
Hired's Salary Calculator determines salary benchmarks based on real interview requests, helping jobseekers know their worth. It is a great tool to compare salaries in some of the top cities worldwide, depending on your years of experience. See what you could be making with a company on Hired!
"Technical assessments are a valuable tool for candidates to showcase their skills to employers because it goes beyond explaining what you do on a resume…it shows the employers how skilled you really are!"Lupe Colangelo, Employer Partnerships Manager @ General Assembly
Jobseeker resources: partners who support DEI
Numerous Hired partners promote opportunities for underrepresented jobseekers across upskilling, cross training, and community. By supporting and partnering with organizations like these we can help connect employers with a more diverse pipeline of employees:
Are you an employer looking to drive DEI in your organization? Hired is here to help. By leveraging our platform's innovative DEI tools and transparent salary data, build diverse teams and close critical wage gaps—one hire at a time.

Many HR departments are attempting to create a diverse workplace in today's world, but you can't have diversity without inclusion. To construct a diverse team and a modern and attractive workplace culture, HR staff must create an environment that welcomes all individuals and fosters equal engagement and representation. In recent years, there has been a significant effort in the UK to fight for equality, to the point that employers are instituting quotas based on gender, BAME, disability, and even sexual orientation. There are two significant types of diversity in today's workplace: First, inherent diversity is concerned with qualities such as race, gender, and age. Education, experience, beliefs, skills, and knowledge are all aspects of acquired variety. Natural HR has set out to explore our top ideas for making a diverse and inclusive recruitment process a standard element of your people talent strategy in this article. What is the definition of workplace diversity? It is critical to remember that workplace diversity is defined as when a company understands, accepts, and values differences between people of different races, ethnicities, genders, ages, religions, disabilities, and sexual orientations, as well as differences in personalities, skill sets, experiences, and knowledge. What are the benefits of diversity and inclusivity recruitment? Having a functional diversity and inclusion strategy that is incorporated into your recruitment workflow will provide your company with various benefits, including:
Hiring better talent. Being able to make more informed business decisions. Increasing the performance of your teams. Accelerating innovation by allowing different mindsets to collaborate. Gaining more decadent customer satisfaction due to high-quality staff. Improving company culture with improved employee satisfaction.
The inclusive hiring in the workplace checklist The tutorial below will walk you through the whole recruitment process, from bringing on a new team member to crafting a job advertisement and interviewing qualified candidates. It will include critical considerations to ensure that diversity and inclusion are prioritized at each stage. 1. Audit your job adverts to remove bias: When it comes to inclusive and diverse recruitment, you can't look forward without looking back. As a result, the first step you must take is to assess your whole recruitment pipeline to identify faults and begin implementing improvements that will address diversity and inclusivity concerns. When reviewing historical job advertisements, you may find a propensity to employ more masculine or feminine language in job advertisements, which may discourage particular groups from applying for specific roles. Based on the findings of this analysis, you may then retroactively apply new conditions to the recruiting procedure to reduce biases in future recruitment drives. 2. Target sources where diverse candidates are focused: It is now easier than ever to recruit applicants from a large skill pool with the Internet's strength. To that end, sourcing individuals from several sources is a terrific method to diversify your recruitment pool. Rather than relying solely on traditional job boards or recruitment agencies, look for chances to diversify candidates through alternative sources such as educational institutions, government agencies, and even rehabilitation centers. You might also communicate directly with organizations that focus on specific areas; for example, for a technology post, you could interact directly with women in technology groups to connect with suitable female applicants. 3. Encourage your employees to utilize their network: If you want to hire more of a specific group of under-represented people, reach out to some of your current team members who fall into that category. Creating an internal applicant recommendation program is one approach to accomplish this. You will be able to connect with similar candidates from varied backgrounds by utilizing your existing internal pool of diverse workers. 4. Offer internships targeted at underrepresented groups: Offering internships to folks with specialized credentials is a terrific approach to foster up-and-coming talent in your sector. To accomplish this, you may form collaborations with education and community organizations in your area to provide an opportunity to groups that may struggle to take the first steps into the roles you're recruiting for. 5. Develop an employer brand that showcases your diversity: When developing a brand identity, don't overlook the significance of diversity and inclusivity. You should encourage employees from various backgrounds to share their experiences with your organization, which you should then incorporate into your employer and recruiting branding. Having these stories in place and actively pushing them in your applicant sourcing is a terrific approach to ensure your diversity recruiting strategy is working properly. 6. Utilize blind recruitment: Blind recruitment is one of the most popular trends in the industry. To reduce bias during the first recruitment stage, it takes steps to blackout essential information such as name, age, education, and candidate photos. The idea here is to avoid further discrimination in who you choose to interview. 7. Rethink what factors you screen for when hiring: When determining what your ideal recruit looks like, it is vital to ensure that your possible candidates exhibit the characteristics that your firm values. Throughout the recruitment process, examine how you're screening candidates and yourself to see whether you're directing the outcomes towards specific types of people owing to potential bias.

Can You Eat Your Toenails? (You Shouldn't, Here's Why)
You might have heard that you can eat your toenails. After all, they are made of keratin, which is a protein that is also found in nails, hair, and skin. Keratin is non-toxic and keratin supplements are even available for purchase. However, before you start snacking on your toenails, there are a few things you should know.
The short answer is no, you should not eat your toenails. Here's why: Toenails are made of dead cells. When these dead cells mix with the bacteria on your skin, they can cause an infection. In some cases, this infection can even lead to sepsis, which is a life-threatening condition.
Additionally, toenails are often covered in dirt and other contaminants. These contaminants can contain harmful bacteria that can make you sick if ingested. Eating your toenails can also lead to gastrointestinal problems like constipation or diarrhea.
If you're still considering eating your toenails, you should know that they don't provide much in the way of nutrition. Toenails are mostly made of protein and fat, but they don't contain many essential vitamins and minerals. So, if you're looking for a way to get more nutrients into your diet, eating your toenails is not the way to go about it.
Why Do Some People Eat Their Toenails?
It may seem gross, but eating toenails is actually a pretty common habit. In fact, research suggests that as many as 18 percent of Americans have eaten their toenails at some point in their lives.
The most common reason people cite for eating toenails is boredom. If you're stuck at home with nothing to do, it's not uncommon to start nibbling on your nails out of sheer boredom. This is especially true if you're a nail biter; when your nails are already shortened, they can be more tempting to nibble on.
Another reason people eat their toenails is stress relief. Chewing on something can help release tension and calm nerves, and toenails are just soft enough to bite into without causing pain. Similarly, some people find the act of eating their toenails satisfying or even soothing.
Lastly, some people may simply enjoy the taste of their toenails. While this may seem gross to some, there's actually nothing wrong with it from a health perspective if they're consumed on occassion. Toenails are made up of keratin, which is a protein that's also found in human hair. So, if you don't mind the taste, there's no harm in giving it a try, but once is enough!
How Can I Stop Eating My Toenails?
Understand why you eat toenails. For some people, eating toenails is a way to calm down or relieve stress. Other people may do it because they're bored or absentminded. Once you understand why you're eating toenails, you can begin to look for other ways to satisfy that need.
If you're eating toenails because you're bored, try finding a hobby or activity that you enjoy and that will keep your hands busy. If you're eating toenails because you're stressed out, try taking up yoga or meditation.
Get rid of any and all temptation. Get rid of any nail clippers, files, or other tools that you use to trim your nails. Wash your hands thoroughly after trimming your nails so that there's no residue left behind.
You should also avoid rooms where you typically eat your nails, such as the bathroom or the kitchen. If necessary, wear gloves when you're in these rooms so that you won't be tempted to nibble on your nails.
Replace the bad habit with a good one. Every time you feel the urge to eat your nails, do something else instead. Go for a walk, take a bath, read a book—anything that will take your mind off of nail-eating and help you relax. The more positive associations you have with these activities, the easier it will be to resist the urge to nibble on your nails.
Talk to someone about your problem. Oftentimes, people are embarrassed to admit that they have a problem with eating their nails. But there's no reason to be ashamed—it's a perfectly normal thing to want to quit.
Talk to a friend or family member about your struggle and let them know that you'd appreciate their support as you try to break the habit. You may also want to consider talking to a therapist who can help you understand and cope with any underlying issues that may be causing you to eat your nails in the first place.
What's The Best Way to Stop Biting Your Nails?
First, it's important to understand why you bite your nails in the first place. Are you anxious or stressed? Bored? Nervous about something specific? Once you know what's causing you to bite your nails, you can better target your solution.
If anxiety is the root of your problem, there are a number of things you can do to try to reduce your stress levels. Exercise is a great way to relieve stress, and so is meditation or deep breathing exercises. You might also try journaling or talking to a therapist.
If boredom is the issue, again, there are a number of possible solutions. Maybe you need to find a new hobby or interest to occupy your time and attention. Or maybe you need to take a break from whatever it is you're doing that's causing you to bite your nails in the first place.
In some cases, simply being aware of your nail biting habit can be enough to help you break it. Every time you catch yourself biting your nails, make a conscious effort to stop and do something else with your hands instead. Clench them into fists, drum them on a table, or rub them together—anything that will distract you from putting them in your mouth.
Another effective solution is painting your nails with a bitter-tasting nail polish. The unpleasant flavor will discourage you from putting your fingers in your mouth, and over time, you'll train yourself not to bite your nails anymore. | eng | d0418421-26d1-4850-8888-79957945a3b4 | https://fullpersonalcare.com/can-you-eat-your-toenails/ |
The latest Matchmaking Culture Out of 'Some' Inside the Korea: As the Viewed Toward K-crisis However
The latest Matchmaking Culture Out of 'Some' Inside the Korea: As the Viewed Toward K-crisis However
Like is within the heavens! Below are a few strategies one Korean partners experience before generally making it authoritative.
However tells the story of Park Jae-eon, a highly glamorous pupil who takes on with the center out-of Yoo Na-bi who is unusually interested in their unclear decisions.
Today, we are going to diving into Park Jae-eon's unusual procedures in the reveal that keeps your on your own foot to raised define the newest relationships people in Korea.
Some ?
This basically means, it's a love between a couple which might be a lot more personal than simply just a relationship, although not a little lovers.
The fresh new words «It appears as though I am your however, I'm not» and «It looks like you happen to be mine however, you aren't» is actually a couple of times sung throughout the track.
Prior to now, there is certainly a word that was used to describe it embarrassing phase in advance of a relationship will get formal.
The expression «sa» (?), regarding phrase «sa gui-da» (???) gets the exact same pronunciation due to the fact number four in Korean, «sa» (?).
So that the stage in advance of technically matchmaking is referred to as «sam-gui-da» (???) once the # 3 from inside the Korean are «sam» (?).
When you find yourself in the early degrees of going to know one another greatest ahead of a love, Koreans merge the term «some» (?) plus the verb «ride» (??).
Functions Out of «Some»
There has for ages been a method of going on their prospective lovers better, although idea of «some» (?) has-been vital that you Koreans by recent.
In the «some» (?) phase, you might be strike that have emotions from suspicion as no-one, and on your own, knows definitely that it will come to be a love when you look at the the long term.
If a couple come in so it stage to one another, they have to be keen on one another as well as the thinking be shared.
So even if you are trying to find some one, you simply can't understand needless to say when they finding your too.
Simply because you cannot remember if they are acting a specific ways while they worry about your because men or if he's got attitude for your requirements.

How-to End «Some»
If an individual is actually waiting around for another so you're able to acknowledge, but the confession never ever works out going on, might genuinely believe that another was never ever curious inside them to begin with.
«Some» Due to the fact Viewed Towards However
While the good reason why she feels anxious is basically because she's pledge he you will feel the same manner throughout the their particular.
It is pure having her feeling in that way once the Park Jae-eon does numerous things to start with in order to confuse her ideas.
Including in the first episode, whenever Park Jae-eon and you may Yoo Na-bi are having several drinks along with their family members, the guy quietly suggests that they should log off together to locate frost solution.
In the Korea, a referral to locate ice-cream inside the a team form is actually constantly taken as a sign of «some» (?).
Given that a guy blessed together with his handsome seems, the guy appears to enjoy the interest he gets regarding girls and plays employing thoughts.
So it's burdensome for Yoo Na-bi to take the partnership to a higher level since she got expected while the he's got zero goal of are the time.
Two different people might get within the sheet sets to explain their thoughts for one a separate and have their lover out technically, but in However, the 2 seem to have repeated interactions as opposed to ever before making it official.
Given that Korea is traditional with respect to sex, it's essentially approved you to definitely sex only goes in this two people from inside the a relationship. | eng | 9f9180b4-5617-477e-9801-526257807354 | https://www.sirus.es/the-latest-matchmaking-culture-out-of-some-inside/ |
Asian Oysters Are Dominant On Sweden's West Coast
The Pacific oyster has taken over in the Swedish west coast county of Bohuslän. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have found that the invasive species accounts for two-thirds of the biomass of all mussel and oyster species. This is not necessarily a bad thing, except for beachgoers, who can cut themselves easily on the razor-sharp shells.
In the summer of 2007, a new species was observed in large numbers in shallow waters in Bohuslän. The new species was the invasive Pacific oyster (Magallana gigas), also known as the Japanese oyster. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have now estimated the size of this Pacific oyster invasion for the first time.
In terms of biomass, the Pacific oyster is the most abundant bottom-dwelling species and accounts for about two-thirds of the total biomass, including blue mussels and European oysters.
"Although we conducted our survey in northern Bohuslän, it is likely that the situation is the same all the way down the Bohuslän coast," says Youk Greeve, PhD student in marine biology at the University of Gothenburg.
May compete with blue mussels
As the European oyster usually lives at greater depths of between 1 and 30 metres, it is not certain that the Pacific oyster will outcompete its native relative. Wild-caught flat oysters from Grebbestad were recently granted protected designation of origin in the EU, placing them on a par with Swedish Kalixlöjrom vendace roe and French champagne.
Blue mussels, which also grow wild in shallow bays, may have a harder time of it.
"But we need more research to find out how the Pacific oyster is affecting blue mussel stocks," says Youk Greeve. It is probable that the establishment of the oyster has had and will have far-reaching consequences for the ecology of Sweden's shallow coastal habitats. Pacific oysters grow on each other, creating reefs that provide new habitats in which other species live and thrive. They also filter large amounts of water, which affects plankton communities. The far-reaching impacts of the expanding oyster population remain to be studied.
The American razor clam buries itself in the seabed
This study, published in the scientific journal Frontier in Marine Science, was conducted in 2021. Researchers surveyed the numbers of different mussel and oyster species on a number of nearshore seabeds in northern Bohuslän by collecting and analysing all the mussels and oysters within designated squares laid out on the seabed. Results showed that two invasive species are now the most common species in Bohuslän. Besides the Pacific oyster, the American razor clam (Ensis leei), was the most common among sediment-dwelling species in terms of biomass.
"It's good at burrowing and does well even in areas where storms frequently blow the sand away," says Youk Greeve. Humans are to blame for the spread of the Pacific oyster. When European oysters were wiped out by parasites in the 1960s, oyster farmers in Europe chose to bring in Pacific oysters that are more resistant to parasites. Evidence suggests that the first specimens of the invasive species blew across the Kattegat/Skagerak as larvae from Danish oyster farms in autumn 2006.
Oysters can only be picked by the landowner
In Swedish waters, the European oyster has survived parasitic diseases, with many people saying that the taste is different and that the European oyster tastes better.
"Of course we want to protect the native oyster on the west coast, but the Pacific oyster can't be eradicated. It's thriving and it's here to stay," says Youk Greeve.
This is where current legislation poses a problem. Today, only the landowner is allowed to pick oysters along Sweden's west coast. One suggestion is to allow the harvesting of Pacific oysters in bays for swimming and in other areas where there is a desire to protect native oysters from competition. In return, it would be permitted to grow Pacific oysters elsewhere, as there is a commercial interest in doing so.
"This would be a win-win solution for oyster farmers, local authorities and swimmers," says Youk Greeve. | eng | e3b77834-05e3-4ce6-a4e0-19ff1c70dec5 | https://www.eurasiareview.com/03072023-asian-oysters-are-dominant-on-swedens-west-coast/ |
