Whaling : The practice of whale hunting
Bymaritimescrimes
PublishedAugust 10, 2023
There are three types of whaling: commercial, aboriginal subsistence and scientific. However, it is still legal in three countries.
Whale hunting, a long tradition
An end to whaling ?
The last is Iceland. The country left the International Whaling Commission in 1992 and has since resumed commercial whaling.
The harpoon used to be hooked inside the whale. The whale would then pull the line to exhaustion, allowing the fishermen to kill it.
The end of fin whale hunting is being supported by tourism. In fact, whale-watching tourism is on the rise. Income from tourism is greater than that from the sale and export of meat.

What's disappointing is you (and everyone else posting comments like lNulls) missing the announcement stating that those two patches are predominantly focusing on fixing console performance and bugs.
I dont expect anything, Im simply waiting for them to get this game into stable and structured project on which they can build on further, what's the point of this post? To stir another 'hype' and people starting to hope into amazing ideas people post here only to get yourselves 'disappointed' again and create dozens of refried posts of how disappointing this and that patch is?

It was already confirmed that it will be a stability patch(consoles) and bug fixing I don't understand why you are expecting anything else, and btw I need the "painting" 3 more 100% finishes of the game and the modders are likely trying to solve some things
Forum regular
Yes, patch 1.1 was meant for optimization and crashes. There were a few issues and CDPR fixed in a few days.
They've already said this is the big one. If this patch doesn't make a real difference you can complain then.
Forum regular
Hope? NPC improvements, stability improvements, ironing out the immersion breaking bugs like people teleporting to where they're meant to be. I even dare to hope that we will see some content start entering the game.
Think? Bugs (the gamebreaking kind, not the numerous small ones) and stability.
Forum veteran
This poll is missing a lot. I expect absolutely nothing good. I expect more glitches, more issues, and nothing resembling what the game was promised to be. I can imagine, but not expect maybe some glitches fixed, that's it.

We could also expect'em to remove loose ends from the cut content, like the escape from Konpeki (2 quest markers there, one being a katana, that you can't access because they quickly blocked you with a half-assed excuse of intrusion... pfft! I have max INT, can hack everything, but not an AV...).
Yeah, 1.2 will - should! - stick to performance related stuff. Especially for last gen consoles, if CDPR in its great wisdom thought it's stronk enough to pull off a stunt like that. Here's hoping they won't try to offer a uniform gaming experience across all devices or we might go all the way back to TW1 times, just so that barebones PS4s can run it at good frame rates.
One more thing: A major chunk of the player base agreed that this game needed at least 1 more year in the oven. That it feels like alpha or, at best, as an early access product... So, what could 2 weeks (for 1.1) or 1 month (for 1.2) magically achieve that would otherwise 1 year+ ?
I'm horribly pissed at their biggest lie, "When it's ready". If they wouldn't pull that one, they wouldn't have lied about multiple outcomes of The Heist, about meaningful lifepaths, transport, customizations, meaningful choices and the entire beach of other broken promises and duct taped systems and story.
I for one am done eyeballing the silent "News" forum here, the silent FB page and will just give'em the year to fix their shit. I would've happily waited that long still for the product they promised.
Forum regular
Too much for CDPR to fix, they'd have to start from scratch.
The game has zero npc interaction after main story, NC is a flashy sandbox with nothing to do afterwards.
npc's such as while they're cooking have rng responses to you. No emersion in NC.
3rd Person view is garbage at nexus, only thing that could prolong the games life is mods by modders, CDPR sold us out with fake cutscenes showing V interaction in 3rd person through the story as well as many other features that aren't in the current game. Done with CP77 but at least I have The Witcher Wild Hunt, a game that's very ahead of it's time in such as graphics, story and AI etc. etc. etc.
Wait what? Ai in the Witcher? That AI in the game is definitely not very ahead of its time. Mediocre at best. It's better compared to CP77 yes, but almost every game with AI is currently better than the one CP77 has right now.
Forum regular
I see how people have stopped believing in developers and I'm not just talking about CDPR. Many believed and expected that in one famous game the Dev`s would change the ending,which so much upset the players, and yet nothing like this happened. First, people are promised that it will be a great game, and then something or someone changes everything, cuts out good game mechanics , etc. They cut it out over and over again and then they give us what's left of it.And after that, we sit and discuss whether the developers are capable of something more after the release,whether they are able to change the game and give us what we ask for? The answer is NO. The gaming industry is becoming something bad
Forum regular
Content is needed, PC version is running fine, for me at least, but patch 1.2 is I guess not gonna bring anything new,
probably just bug fixes for old consoles and crashing issues for PC, so I'm not expecting anything big any time soon.
Predominantly does not mean completely or only. It means mostly. Which means there could be other stuff included, just not as much as performance and bug fixes.
I have noticed a bit of a change in the AI (although not much) since the 1.1 patch and I hope 1.2 brings a noticeable fix to the AI (cops, npcs and gangs). Seeing as how they do consider AI a bug, it's likely in the bug fix list and has a good chance of being part of 1.2 so I expect if they are adding any additions to the patch beyond fixes and performance, then they would probably start with things that were mostly finished but blocked because they weren't quite ready for release.

What is Coercive Control ?
Zane Wilde
In 2012, the Family Law Act 1975 (Cth) was amended, and the concept of coercive control was introduced into the definition of family violence. Coercive control is not defined in the Family Law Act but it is appreciated to be at the root of almost every act of domestic violence.
Coercive control is best understood as behaviours with the desired effect of coercing and/or controlling an individual. This definition is a bit wordy and difficult to understand. Thankfully, section 4AB of the Family Law Act provides some examples of what coercive control may look like. These examples include:
Assaults,
Sexual assaults or other sexually abusive behaviour,
Stalking,
Repeated derogatory taunts,
Intentionally damaging or destroying property,
Intentionally causing death or injury to an animal,
Unreasonably denying the family member financial autonomy,
Unreasonably withholding financial support needed to meet the reasonable living expenses when the family member is entirely or predominantly dependent on the person for financial support, or
Unlawfully depriving the family member, or any member of the family member's family, or his or her liberty.
When we think of violence, we ordinarily think of the obvious examples in (A)-(F). Usually, these examples may a person with a mark, a bruise, or damaged property. This makes the violence easy to identify.
But coercive control is more difficult to identify. Research has demonstrated that single instances of coercive control often may not appear to be threatening. For instance, your spouse did not allow you to purchase new clothing from the joint bank account. As a single event, your spouse's actions may appear to be reasonable and would not appear to be coercive or controlling. However, you may look back at the history of your relationship and realise that your spouse never let you purchase clothes. This may constitute coercive control.
Coercive control can also manifest in what appears to be seemingly non-threatening ways, such when your partner tracks your telephone conversations, threatens to lose the family pet, prevents you from seeing medical professionals, controls what you wear, and controls your salary and expenses. These examples of coercive control may appear non-threatening. However, the examples in this paragraph have been taken from Australian relationships which ended in homicide.
Coercive control is dangerous in a relationship. The Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia takes allegations of coercive control very seriously. In fact, there are a number of additional provisions that will apply in family law matters where coercive control is alleged.
If you have been the victim of coercive control and are intending to, or already are a party in family law proceedings, please contact Hansons Lawyers so that we may provide you with appropriate advice regarding your safety and the additional provisions that will apply to your family law matter.

PICKLED STEEL
Pickled steel is a steel that has undergone a chemical treatment: pickling. This operation involves the elimination of the surface layer of the steel, which can usually show the presence of oxides, rust residues formed by hot rolling, surfactants, corrosion inhibitors and a whole series of chemical substances, through immersion in a bath in solutions of acid or alkali. Pickling is usually carried out to make the surface of the steel porous, therefore suitable for bonding with other metals, in the case of steel bars and pipes to improve their characteristics, or for the application of a protective anticorrosive coating. The acid baths, with which this treatment is carried out, are rather aggressive, being hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, but also phosphoric acid, nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid, at high temperatures. Therefore, to prevent the steel, now deprived of the superficial oxidation layer, from being attacked by the acids themselves, corrosion inhibitors are added to the inside of the solutions.
Pickling allows the steel to receive numerous treatments, which depend on the required finishes, including passivation, chrome plating, anodic oxidation and painting. Once the desired finish has been chosen, the steel will be processed to create the desired type of profile. Damilano Group, thanks to the internal technological equipment, is able to create complex metal profiles, profiles made to measure and based on the designer's design and special profiles.
SENDZIMIR GALVANIZED OR ELECTROGALVANIZED STEEL
The Sendzimir treatment is a hot dip galvanizing process, which takes its name from an engineer of Polish origin who in the 1940s developed a rolling mill for the continuous manufacture of rolled steel in coils and large sheets. Sendzimir galvanized steel is a steel that undergoes a particular hot dip galvanizing treatment. Before treatment, the sheet is degreased to eliminate surface impurities, then it is subjected to pickling in hydrochloric acid to eliminate iron oxides. Then the sheet passes through a bath of molten zinc at 700 ° contained in a ceramic tank. Lead is added to this bath to fluidize and aluminum to increase the adhesion of the zinc to the steel. The thickness of the steel strip is variable and can be controlled through an adjustment system, so that it is of the desired size.
Once the treatment is finished, the sheet metal strip is rewound, ready for profiling. The steel will then be processed to create the desired type of profile, in fact, thanks to the internal technological equipment, Damilano Group is able to create complex metal profiles, customized profiles and to the design of the designer and special profiles.
PREPAINTED STEEL
Pre-painted steel is a material composed of a base layer of steel, coated with a layer of zinc which is then painted using a continuous method (coil coating) or colamination with sheets of plastic materials. It is then finished superficially. In this way, the characteristics of galvanized steel are maintained and enhanced. The steel substrate guarantees a series of mechanical properties, resistance to corrosion increases, as the paint creates an additional barrier to external agents, the colors, brilliance and surface finishes are manifold to satisfy every aesthetic requirement. The choice of the external coating depends on the use of steel and it is possible to combine it in different ways: it can be present in the same way on both faces of the substrate or it can be applied only one face, generally the upper one, while the other has been pretreated or coated. In addition, even the morphology of the profile can satisfy any need, Damilano Group in fact offers a wide range of complex metal profiles, special profiles and custom profiles, which are shaped according to the customer's needs.
STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel or stainless steel is a ferrous alloy containing chromium and carbon and other metals, which combined increase the intrinsic characteristics of steel. Furthermore, the presence of carbon, coming into contact with oxygen, allows the development of an invisible surface oxidation layer, able to protect the steel from external corrosion. The presence of nickel, on the other hand, makes the steel more resistant to formability and weldability. The enriched material is therefore more performing from a structural point of view and responds better to the cold profiling process. The choice of stainless steel in the production of complex, special or customer-designed profiles has numerous advantages. This type of steel, in fact, has high mechanical characteristics combined with ductility and resistance to high temperatures, which makes it possible to use lower thicknesses in profiling operations, the metal profiles are therefore lighter with consequent cost containment. Furthermore, this type of steel is durable over time, requires minimal maintenance, and is 100% recyclable, having an infinite life cycle, it allows to combine environmental sustainability and economic convenience.
ALUMINUM
Aluminum is a ductile and malleable metal, resistant to oxidation. This characteristic is due to the formation on its surface of an oxidation layer that does not allow oxygen to attack the underlying metal, making it insoluble. It is a very light metal, with a specific weight of one third lower than that of steel and copper, and it is a very workable plastic material while not losing its durability characteristics, it is not magnetic and does not produce sparks, an optimal feature during the processing cycles. It also has high thermal and electrical conductivity and low radiant power. In addition to these chemical-physical properties, aluminum is well known for its total recyclability with low energy costs and, above all, the material returns to its original state, without losing any of its characteristics. The virtuous cycle of aluminum provides, in fact, the practically infinite regeneration of the material, which conserves 95% of the energy absorbed in the primary production phases. The economic convenience of recycling this material is therefore clear, as well as the undoubted advantages in terms of environmental sustainability. Aluminum profiles are, for all this series of reasons, widely used, making profiling and extrusion very convenient for the company. Damilano Group, especially in the range of doors and windows, has chosen this material for the production of complex metal profiles, special profiles and customized profiles, combining high performance and attention to environmental sustainability.
COPPER
In terms of characteristics, copper looks a lot like aluminum, it is in fact easily workable, malleable and ductile, it is not magnetic and has very high thermal and electrical conductivity. It resists corrosion very well, thanks to the well-known green-blue oxidation patina that develops on the surface. Even copper, like aluminum, is easily recyclable and has a high recovery value, it is in fact also a virtuous material, that is, it can be recycled countless times without losing its mechanical characteristics. It is often combined with other metals to form alloys, such as bronze and brass. Damilano Group uses this material, through the processing of cold profiling, for the production of complex metal profiles, special profiles and profiles according to the customer's design.
BRASS
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. The combination of these two materials makes it an easily workable material but as it is tough, to avoid wearing out the profiling machinery and to reduce energy consumption, it is often additive with other elements, such as lead, tin, aluminum, nickel . Brass has a very wide range of applications, Damilano Group uses it to create complex metal profiles, special profiles and custom profiles to meet any customer need, through cold profiling.
CORTEN STEEL
COR-TEN steel (CORrosion resistance – TENsile strenght) also known as patinated steel, is a particular type of steel "with a low content of alloying elements and high mechanical resistance". This material, patented in 1933 in the United States by the United States Steel Corporation, is well established in the USA and is rapidly spreading also in Europe, in various fields. The main feature of this steel is the formation of a passivating surface film through the oxidation of its alloying elements, which protects the underlying material from the spread of corrosion.
However, this patina forms only in certain conditions, the steel must be exposed to the atmosphere, it must undergo wetting-drying cycles without being in direct and permanent contact with water, or with stagnation. In the event that this film does not form, COR-TEN steel would behave like a carbon steel. The success of COR-TEN due to its aesthetic value, therefore not only in structural areas, is due precisely to the formation of the patina, which takes on a brown color, which varies with the years and depending on the environment to which the material is exposed.
These shades of "rust" combined with resistance to atmospheric agents, have meant that COR-TEN steel spread a lot in the field of sculpture and decorative level for buildings. The first examples of applications in architecture date back to the mid-1960s, with the Finnish architect Eero Saarinen. In the metal carpentry sector, on the other hand, COR-TEN steel has significant technical and economic advantages. If used instead of the more common structural steels, it allows to reduce the thickness and therefore the weight of the semi-finished product. So in addition to saving material, thanks to the protective patina, this steel has reduced maintenance problems. Currently there are three types of COR-TEN steel, depending on the different chemical composition and thickness, which have different degrees of mechanical resistance and atmospheric corrosion. COR-TEN type A, also called phosphorus, is the most common in the architecture sector both for an aesthetic factor and because it lends itself to being painted, it is produced in thicknesses up to 12.5 mm. It also has a resistance to atmospheric factors of 5/8 times higher than that of a common carbon steel. COR-TEN type B, also known as vanadium, and COR-TEN type C are used on the structural level for highly stressed structures.
COR-TEN steel is commonly supplied in the raw state in the form of sheets. It can be processed in various ways, including cold profiling which can be performed on thicknesses up to 12.5mm. COR-TEN profiles can be supplied raw or pre-oxidised, through a chemical acceleration process that causes the formation of a protective film, useful for avoiding damage to the metal itself. Both for aesthetic qualities and for corrosion resistance, COR-TEN steel is one of the materials used by Damilano Group for the production of complex metal profiles, special profiles and customized profiles.
MAGNELIS
Magnelis is an innovative and very corrosion resistant metal coating, made starting from a common hot dip galvanizing process, which makes the steel very performing even in aggressive environments. The steel is immersed in a zinc bath with additives of 3.5% aluminum and 3% magnesium. it is this percentage of magnesium that makes the difference compared to other coatings; in fact, thanks to this element, a stable and resistant patina is generated along the entire surface of the metal, capable of withstanding corrosive agents very effectively.
This type of steel is used for example in chloride-rich or highly alkaline environments. Furthermore, its high resistance to corrosion means that the amount of material used, in terms of thickness, is considerably reduced, with a consequent weight reduction. The magnesium with additive, in the galvanizing phase, also gives the steel the ability to self-repair on the edges, ie the formation of a protective layer as well as preventing corrosive reactions, guarantees active and long-term protection.
Furthermore, since the adhesion characteristics between the protective film and the substrate are very high, Magnelis steel can be subjected to forming through various processes including, cold profiling, bending, stamping, without affecting the characteristics of the material. For these innumerable qualities, Magnelis steel was introduced as a material suitable for cold profiling, through which Damilano Group produces complex metal profiles, special profiles and customized profiles. | eng | b7fb13c0-8b45-4fd1-b36d-2d6d6dde10c3 | https://damilanogroup.com/en/materials/ |
This process is used by a medical professional to thoroughly check the body of a patient for signs of disease.These examinations also take the patient's medical and family history into account prior to determining a correct diagnosis and devising a treatment plan.
This data becomes a part of the patient's medical record. General health examinations are often administered even if the patient reports no health concerns.
Why Does the AMA Medical Group Promote Comprehensive Physical Exams?
Physical exams play a major part in identifying early signs of illness. These exams also promote the building of the doctor-patient relationship, which can be beneficial in medical care. A physical examination also helps you and your doctor establish a baseline and general status of your health. They are recommended at least once a year, especially in people over the age of 50.
These exams are used to:
Check for possible disease
Identify issues that could be concerning in the future
Update necessary immunizations
Discuss dietary and exercise routines
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Comprehensive Physical Exam?
Everyone should receive regular health screenings and physical examinations. During these examinations, your doctor may wish to examine a specific part of your body, called a focused physical exam. This is done if your doctor has reason to believe something about it is abnormal and requires further testing to rule anything out.
Patients with a family or personal history of certain diseases, such as cancer, high blood pressure, or diabetes should receive regular health screenings and physical examinations to monitor their health and the progression of any degenerative health conditions.
What to Expect from Your Comprehensive Physical Exam
Physical exams are typically performed during a routine office visit. If you require additional screenings or imaging tests, they may be completed at an imaging center or at a hospital. Blood draws can be completed at the doctor's office before any samples are sent to a lab for further analysis. Men and women will have different kinds of physical health examinations.
Women typically require a mammogram, a pap smear, a pelvic exam, a cholesterol test, and an osteoporosis screening.
Men typically receive a cholesterol test, a prostate cancer screening, a testicular exam, and an abdominal aortic aneurysm screening.
If you have any concerns during this process, be sure to discuss them with your doctor. Additionally, if you have been experiencing any unpleasant symptoms, it is important to share them with your healthcare team so that any additional diagnostics can be run.
Lastly, it is critical to share any vitamin or holistic regimen you are taking, as these can interfere with certain medications or tests. If your doctor is unaware of what you are taking, it could lead to a delayed or incorrect diagnosis | eng | 59f2d21b-15fc-483c-ade4-4a008276ffcf | https://amamedicalgroup.com/comprehensive-physical-exams/ |

There are thousands of reasons to write web programming in PHP. PHP is a web development language that is derived from (PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor), and the original name is (Personal Home Page). PHP is a server-side programming language that can be embedded in HTML, such as ASP.
However, it is not similar to HTML. If you are familiar with HTML, then you know that it is not a programming language, rather it is a rendering language that has an excellent use for the insertion of images in web pages, weblinks, text, tables, etc. However, it is not possible in HTML to add two numbers or build a connection with the database.
PHP is an engine behind many dynamic web applications. The difference between the dynamic web pages and static web pages is that dynamic web pages' structure and contents kept on changing due to backend programming. However, static web pages' content and structure remain fixed until the designer or developer decides to change by itself. PHP supports almost every type of database, such as MS-SQL, Mysql, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Access, and Oracle.
Important Note: PHP code always executes on the server-side. PHP is a very popular language for creating dynamic websites, and it's free to use and download.

History of PHP
PHP's first version was introduced by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, who developed it for his personal use, which is a set of Micros (CGI wrapper), which he used to find about the users who visited his website. In the same year, he proposed a new package under the name of Personal Home Page Tools. He made upgradations, added form interpreter package to it and called it as PHP/FI, which is endorsed by many PHP users.
Then version 2 of PHP was introduced, which consisted of SQL Queries Parsing support. In the middle of 1997, approximately 50 thousand websites developed, which were written in the PHP language. Two software programmers Andi Gutmans and Zeev Suraski from Israel, developed PHP versions 3 and 4 of Parsers. They made advancements in PHP and gave it the name of Zend, which stands for Zeev and Andi.
In 1998, PHP was running on approximately 100 thousand unique Domains, within one year it crosses 1 million users, and in the year 2000 it reaches more than 2 million, and in 2004 the number of the user reaches 17 million. Currently, on the internet, many famous websites, which include imdb.com, Sade.com, Facebook.com, Harvard.com, and many more, are developed in PHP language.
What is MYSQL?
MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) that is used to store and manage data. It is one of the most popular RDBMSs in the world, and is used by millions of websites and applications. MySQL is free and open-source software, which means that it is available to anyone to use and modify.
MySQL was originally created by Michael Widenius in 1995. It was later acquired by Sun Microsystems in 2008, and then by Oracle in 2010. MySQL is now one of the most important products in Oracle's portfolio.
MySQL is a powerful and versatile database management system. It can be used to store and manage a wide variety of data, including text, numbers, images, and videos. MySQL is also very scalable, which means that it can be used to handle large amounts of data.

Overall, MySQLWhy use PHP and MYSQL?
PHP and MySQL are often used together in web development because they are a powerful combination for building dynamic websites and web applications. Here are some reasons why PHP and MySQL are commonly used together:
Dynamic content: PHP allows developers to dynamically generate content on web pages, such as retrieving data from databases, processing user input, and generating dynamic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. MySQL is a popular open-source relational database management system that provides efficient and scalable storage and retrieval of data. Together, PHP and MySQL enable the creation of dynamic and interactive websites with real-time content updates.
Easy integration: PHP provides built-in support for MySQL, making it easy to connect and interact with MySQL databases using PHP functions and libraries. PHP's syntax is designed to work seamlessly with MySQL queries, making it straightforward to fetch data from databases, insert new data, update existing data, and perform other database operations.
Scalability: MySQL is known for its scalability, allowing web applications to handle large amounts of data efficiently. PHP, being a server-side scripting language, can handle high traffic loads and process requests quickly. This makes PHP and MySQL a good choice for developing scalable web applications that can handle heavy loads and high levels of concurrent users.
Cost-effective: Both PHP and MySQL are open-source technologies, which means that they are free to use, making them cost-effective options for web development. Additionally, PHP and MySQL have extensive documentation and large online communities, which provide ample support and resources for developers without incurring additional costs.
Flexibility: PHP and MySQL provide a high degree of flexibility and can be used in various web development scenarios. They are platform-independent and can be used on different operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Unix. They also integrate well with other technologies, making them compatible with different frameworks, libraries, and tools, allowing developers to create custom solutions tailored to their specific needs.
Popularity and community support: PHP and MySQL have been widely used in the web development community for many years, resulting in a large and active community of developers, extensive documentation, and a vast ecosystem of libraries, frameworks, and tools. This makes it easy to find support, resources, and solutions to common challenges when working with PHP and MySQL.
Overall, PHP and MySQL are a popular and powerful combination for web development, providing the flexibility, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and community support needed to build dynamic and interactive websites and web applications. However, it's important to note that there are other technologies and databases available, and the choice of technology stack depends on the specific requirements and constraints of a project. It's essential to carefully consider the needs of your project and choose the appropriate technologies accordingly. So, whether you're building a simple website or a complex web application, PHP and MySQL can be a reliable and efficient choice for your web development needs.
Let us assume that you would like to develop an E-Commerce website, and in this, you may use the following aspects.
For example:
Hardware for webserver
Operating System
Web Server Software
Database management System
Programming Language
Notepad or any other program editor
There are some limitations to the things mentioned above, such as not every operating system supports every hardware; neither all scripts can be connected to all databases. The best thing about PHP and MYSQL is that both work on all leading operating systems in the market. You can easily run PHP on Apache, Linux or PWS, IIS, and Windows operating systems.

Inspiring Innovation with Arts, Emerging Media
Nobody knows how media technology will evolve in the coming years. But helping educators and others understand, embrace and teach innovation is key to future generations' success in using it.
A Husker team is doing just that with a five-year pilot project to promote teaching innovation through arts and emerging media in Nebraska public schools. Guy Trainin, professor in teaching, learning and teacher education, leads the interdisciplinary team that is collaborating with K-12 educators, artists and administrators.
Guy Trainin
Recent media advancements range from virtual reality and social media apps to video creation technology and wearable media, so the team has its work cut out for it.
The Teaching with Arts and Emerging Media (Art TEAMS) project is funded by a $1.9 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education and is a collaboration between Trainin's team and the Johnny Carson Center for Emerging Media Arts in the Hixson-Lied College of Fine and Performing Arts. The project is based in the Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families and Schools.
Art TEAMS will establish a professional development curriculum for 40 Nebraska teachers to integrate arts and emerging media into their curricula. Researchers aim to foster inclusive, arts-based classroom approaches that embrace students' cultures and voices.
The project uses a variety of materials to integrate arts into the curriculum.
The team recruited the first cohort of 20 teachers in summer 2022, starting with an intensive, two-week curriculum on campus. Participants from different disciplines are paired to "develop ways to integrate the arts across all content areas," Trainin said.
Other project researchers include Kimberly D'Adamo, TLTE lecturer and artist; HyeonJin Yoon, research assistant professor at the Nebraska Academy for Methodology, Analytics and Psychometrics; and Lorinda Rice, Lincoln Public Schools art curriculum specialist. | eng | 06a1d581-f987-4bd0-9470-6eeb087bd92b | https://research.unl.edu/annualreport/2022/artteams/ |

Inertial Peak (impact)
The first peak in a force-time or force-deflection curve obtained during an instrumented impact test. It arises from the inertia of that part of the test specimen (referred to as the contact mass) which is accelerated after the first contact with the striker (contact between specimen and striker can be temporarily lost). The peak force increases approximately linearly with increasing impact velocity, while the duration decreases. At impact velocities above 2 m/s, the duration is approximately constant but depending on the material being tested | eng | 2224ca22-3c51-407c-b713-9546a4fd5469 | https://www.instron.com/en/resources/glossary/inertial-peak |

To stop pollution and the depletion of natural resources, it is necessary that countries turn to green initiatives, which are already doing it?
Green technologies, green fuels, green laws, in short. Anything that has "green" as a qualifier refers to environmental practices that are favorable or in favor of the environment. Undoubtedly, there is an ecological advance worldwide in relation to the need to take actions that lead to less pollution through more advanced technologies, the most efficient use of natural resources, sanction laws that protect nature, among others.
Probably, this advance that is perceived is the response to the accelerated rate of destruction that humanity has imposed on the planet in the last two centuries. In any case, today ecology is on the agenda of politicians, universities, companies. Although not all countries have the same capacity and/or willingness to create an ecologically friendly environment.
Environmental Performance Index
To do this, the Universities of Yale and Columbia, in collaboration with the World Economic Forum (WEF), have developed the Environmental Performance Index, which measures how advanced a country is in this matter through the study of 10 indicators grouped into two categories:
Category
Indicator
What does it measure?

Air quality
The number of material particles present in the air, both inside homes and in public spaces.
Heavy metals
The exposure of people to lead contained in water, air, dust, and soils
The vitality of the Ecosystem
Habitat and Biodiversity
The protection of maritime and terrestrial areas as well as the habitat of the species.
Forests
The loss of trees in forest areas
Fishing
Overexploitation of fishing in exclusive economic zones of each country.
Climate and Energy
The weight of carbon, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide emissions on the gross domestic product of each country.
Air pollution
The concentration of nitrous oxides (NOx ) and sulfurous oxides (SOx ) that are responsible for the acid rains.
Water management
The treatment of wastewater both residential and industrial
Farming
The efficient and adequate management of nitrogen as a fundamental nutrient for crops.
How are the Latin American countries on the list?
As might be expected, the countries with the best environmental performance are the developed countries, which can allocate ample resources to promote ecological practices and enjoy more stable institutions that contribute to the realization of such purposes. On the contrary, the countries with the worst performance are the most underdeveloped countries and with widespread poverty. Let's see the list of countries of the 10 best and 10 worst performers:
On the other hand, the countries of Latin America are located in the middle of the table with wide differences in the ranking between one and the other but with very similar performances if we measure them by their score. It tends to follow the same trend as economic and/or social indicators, where our countries are in the saga of Western Europe and North America but much more advanced than sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. This is the list of the top 10 positions in Latin America:

An interesting data from the World Bank on the countries that most protect their territories in environmental terms shows an evolution of 8.2% of the total land surface protected worldwide in 1990 to 14.8% at present. The list of these countries is headed by Venezuela, which has declared 53.9% of its territory as protected areas, being the only Latin American country in this top 10 surrounded by developed countries.
It is interesting to note how in these studies the main economic powers are not included in the rankings, with the exception of France.
The two largest economies in the world measured by size, China and the US, are not exactly the most ecological according to these indicators and we can see this through their absence and/or hostility towards major global environmental initiatives such as the Protocol of Kyoto or the Paris Agreement, which implies that the global protection towards the environment may be diminished given the important role of these two countries in the world economy. | eng | bb123a8a-404f-4f5a-8308-80e064abc0e9 | https://latinamericanpost.com/27125-is-latin-america-close-to-building-green-countries |

A Path in the Woods: How Forests Can Help Stop Climate Change
As the growing effects of climate change become clear — massive fires and floods, hotter summers, stronger hurricanes — it's obvious that we urgently need to do something. Forest loss and degradation is globally the second largest source of CO2 emissions (after fossil fuels), but it's the only emissions source that can reverse course and reabsorb that same CO2. Forest conservation and restoration management can sequester massive amounts of carbon and promote climate resiliency. The Pacific Northwest is home to some of the most productive and carbon-rich forests on the planet, and changing how we manage these and other forests is key to ensuring a safe future.
At this Science on Tap we will hear from Laurie Wayburn, Co-Founder and CEO of the Pacific Forest Trust, who will discuss the immediate imperative— and opportunity— for forest conservation and restoration here at home as a climate solution. This cost effective strategy also has multiple benefits for water, wildlife habitat, human health, and jobs. Come learn about the unique role of forests and other land conservation efforts in as an essential climate strategy and how you can get involved to make positive change | eng | 97eff73f-8405-4836-ac8c-e8fd5fc719be | https://www.scienceontaporwa.org/events/alberta_nov_19_forest/ |

Look Your Best But Don't Overdo It
*David by Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni
We're a society that's very appreciative of beauty which places a, often unfair, pressure on people to look a certain way. There are some good sides of this as it sometime inspire people to make dietary, or lifestyle, changes in order to bring out, what is widely considered, attractive physical features. This becomes a problem, however, when taken to extremes. Some people don't feel pretty unless they look like they can lift a car.
The pressure to look a certain way can be so great that some people will get all sorts of surgeries to "fix" what they think is wrong with them physically. If you have no reason to get a new nose, other than you think it's too small or big, then why do it? Note that there are no surgeries that will allow us to look 20 years old once we reach the ripe old age of 60. Plastic Surgeons are obviously not against this trend as it allows them to own a few cars and a condo in the Bahamas.
"Exterior beauty without the depth of a kind soul is merely decoration."
-Anne Marie Cummings.
On one side, it's great to live in a society where we have the option to change our physical appearance but I hate the fact that it is so widely used for the wrong reasons. Somewhere along the way, we have lost sight of what true beauty is. It's not about how you look as much as who you are. There are no surgeries available that can fix a broken soul. It is far more pleasant to be at the company of someone with a kind heart than someone with nothing but a pretty face. | eng | 4a8c7dec-4a76-4a86-b10b-ea49653c7c22 | https://www.ripencil.com/2020/07/look-your-best-but-dont-overdo-it.html |

Gibbon Meets Machiavelli
Gibbon Meets Machiavelli the princely cause since he successfully tricked and killed his opponents, won the throne by deceit and terror, and then remained emperor for many years by a mix of fear and harsh rule. I have already noted that virtue, according to Machiavelli, meant something more akin to power or prowess. In this sense, Severus was definitely virtuous. He also excelled at two qualities that Machiavelli finds necessary for a prince: the ability to be both fox and lion. In other words, Machiavelli saw a need for two abilities: one, to smell a trap and be deceitful, much like a fox; as well as the strength and facility to crush opponents, much like a lion. Severus fits this map. At the conclusion of chapter XIX, Machiavelli writes, "Therefore a prince, new to the principality, cannot imitate the actions of Marcus, nor, again is it necessary to follow those of Severus, but he ought to take from Severus those parts which are necessary to found his state, and from Marcus those which are proper and glorious to keep a state that may already be stable and firm." He means to say that one cannot easily model Marcus Aurelius without all of Aurelius's perceived prestige and wisdom. Instead, to gain the throne, one must act more like Severus, decisive and ambitious at all costs.
This implies what is most obviously true, that any political change involves discomfort. For Roman Emperors, however, a change in state was absolutely precarious. While Machiavelli doesn't condone Severus's brutality, he definitely applauds his intelligent survival skills. In fact, Severus may have provided a virtuous service simply in allowing Rome to stabilize once again.
It is also important to note that Severus fought for and won the throne by defeating worthy adversaries, but his predecessor, Julian, purchased the throne from the Praetorian guards. The purchase of a throne is universally reviled. Up until Julian's purchase, this was an unthinkable act. While the Praetorian guards desired Julian's money, they quickly angered at his sloth, greed, and inability to rule. Once the guards lost interest in Julian's money, it took little effort to dispose of him. Therefore, the Praetorian guards play a huge role in this succession and even in Severus's success. In him, they found a militant, decisive leader. The Praetorian guards, therefore, found a champion worthy of the throne.
It is precisely this moment, however, which Gibbon claims as the downfall of Rome – not the sale of the empire necessarily, but the rising power of the bands of Praetorian guards. "The Praetorian bands, whose licentious fury was the first symptom and cause of the decline of the Roman empire," he writes while also acknowledging that the first of these guards "derived their institution from Augustus." In other words, according to Gibbon, Rome's decline quickly followed on the heels of its heyday. Augustus, having been adopted by Julius Caesar, and witness to his assassination, felt vulnerable. Therefore, he created a band of loyal soldiers meant solely to guard the emperor. In other words, Augustus initiated his very own militia. Gibbon clearly feels that their presence signaled Rome's downfall.
Perhaps even more surprising to me is the fact that Severus, though brutal and unjust, provided some sort of much-needed stability. For those who have been through a civil war, the stability could not have been dearer. Therefore, their threshold for justice greatly decreased. They opted for stability at nearly all costs. Gibbon does not mince words when he writes, "Falsehood and insincerity, unsuitable as they seem to the dignity of public transactions, offend us with a less degrading idea of meanness, than when they are found in the intercourse of private life. In the latter, they discover a want of courage; in the other, only a defect of power: and, as it is impossible for the most able statesman to subdue millions of followers and enemies by their own personal strength, the world, under the name of policy, seems to have granted them a very liberal indulgence of craft and dissimulation. Yet the arts of Severus cannot be justified by the most ample privileges of state reason. He promised only to betray, he flattered only to ruin; and however he might occasionally bind himself by oaths and treaties, his conscience, obsequious to his interest, always released him from the inconvenient obligation."
Where Machiavelli found virtue, Gibbon clearly does not. In fact, Gibbon marks this moment in history as the beginning of the end. These pieces work really well together in discussion and I thoroughly enjoyed the comments from all participants | eng | e834bc96-d754-405d-8ec2-ceb168aa32fb | https://hmu.edu/gibbon-meets-machiavelli/ |

Politician
Introduce you to foreign political leaders - Charles de Gaulle
The first president of Fifth French Republic, an outstanding military strategist, Charles de Gaulle
Birth and death: 1890-1970
Citizenship: French
Birthplace: Lille
Identification, personality: teacher
Family: President (term 1959-1969)
De Gaulle
Charles de Gaulle was born into a family of wealthy Catholic teachers. In 1910 he was admitted to Military Academy of Saint-Cyr. In November 1922, de Gaulle was admitted to Military Academy for further education. In October 1925, French military director Pétain appointed de Gaulle as his staff and ordered him to be secretary of Secretariat of Supreme Council of National Defence.
De Gaulle in his youth
As President, Charles de Gaulle vacillated between US, Britain and Soviet Union and won for France right to participate in Allied administration of Germany after war and right to become a permanent member of UN Security Council, which made France one of great powers of world. All successive presidents after him have pursued a tough policy towards United States, formulated by him during his term in office, thanks to which France played an important role in international political arena.
Charles de Gaulle during World War II
After outbreak of World War II, Charles de Gaulle successively held positions of commander of a tank regiment, commander of a tank division, deputy minister of national defense and army. He proposed "lightning tactics" against Germany and creation of mechanized troops, but they were not accepted. In May 1944, German army bypassed Maginot Line of French army and captured a large tract of French territory. On June 14, Paris fell. On 16th, Renault announced his resignation and Pétain took over. On 22nd, new government capitulated to Germany.
De Gaulle attended Feast of Liberation of France
De Gaulle struggled to resist traitorous behavior of Petain government. On June 17, he took his family to London. On June 18, de Gaulle published a "Letter to French People" on British radio and laid foundation for Free French movement. He urged "...whatever happens, flame of French resistance will not be extinguished and will never be extinguished." The Free French movement attracted many French officers and soldiers to join Charles de Gaulle, and he soon formed a force of over 7,000 men. In 1943, de Gaulle became chairman of French National Liberation Committee. Under an agreement between British and American allies, four divisions of Free French forces formed French Expeditionary Force and participated in fighting in Italy. In June 1944, he became chairman of Provisional Government of French Republic.
De Gaulle became President of France on January 8, 1959
In 1944, Allied forces moved into France after Normandy landings. On August 25, de Gaulle brought Free French troops into Paris, and Paris was liberated. In May 1945, when Germany surrendered, Charles de Gaulle and Allied forces participated in surrender ceremony.
In January 1946, de Gaulle announced his retirement. For next two years, political situation in France was turbulent, and 25th cabinet changed successively, facing crisis of civil war. The Fourth Republic was supposed to give Charles de Gaulle full power and asked him to create a new political system. In January 1959, Charles de Gaulle was elected president of France. Thus Fifth Republic was born.
After Charles de Gaulle came to power, he took a number of tough foreign policy measures, including: maintaining national independence and striving for great power status; bipolarity contributes to multipolarity of world; creation of a "European Europe" with France as core; initiative to attack Middle East, Latin America and other places. This policy became known as "Gaulism". The implementation of this policy not only restored France's image as a great power in world affairs, but also enabled France to achieve unprecedented rapid economic growth.
In 1960, France tested an atomic bomb. On June 6, 1964, France became first major Western country to officially recognize China and establish diplomatic relations with each other at ambassadorial level. During this period, France also twice strongly rejected British request to join European Community and entered into a treaty with Germany. In December 1965, de Gaulle was re-elected president. In February 1966, de Gaulle announced France's withdrawal from NATO.
In April 1969, de Gaulle stepped down as president. He donated most of his earnings to creation of a children's health fund. On November 9, 1970, de Gaulle died of a heart attack.

Do you tend to get upset when people don't acknowledge or validate you? Do you often try to make other people happy at the expense of your own happiness?
When your sense of self-worth depends solely on the positive feedback you receive from others, you become dependent on external validation. Inevitably, you often fail to receive the feedback you want. And, each time you fail, you assume that it's because you're inadequate in some way—if other people don't feel you deserve their positive feedback, then you won't believe you deserve it.
Here's how seeking validation from others impacts your self-esteem.
You Rely on External Validation to Feel Happy
In addition to influencing how you think about the world, social conditioning also influences the way you think and feel about yourself. According to Wiest, your feelings of comfort and happiness are so inextricably linked to how other people react to you that you feel compelled to think about yourself according to how you imagine other people perceive you. She explains it as follows:
You subconsciously assume that your happiness depends on how other people react to you: When you get positive feedback, you evaluate yourself positively and this makes you happy. When you get negative feedback, you evaluate yourself negatively and this makes you unhappy.
You only evaluate yourself positively when you believe that others think you deserve positive feedback and reward you accordingly. For example, if your teacher gives you a red cross, you don't evaluate yourself positively and don't feel happy, because your teacher thought you didn't deserve a gold star. On the other hand, receiving a gold star makes you feel happy because it proves that your teacher is pleased with you.
Because you want to be happy, you manipulate the way you project yourself to invite more positive feedback. This involves making yourself appear more pleasing or impressive—for example, by suppressing supposedly unappealing parts of your personality or chasing status goals to appear more accomplished.
Real self: the feedback you receive from others that shows you who you really are.
Looking-glass self: how you perceive the way others perceive you and compare it to the way you see yourself.
Further, the research shows that you're more likely to have a healthy sense of self-esteem (how much you like and accept yourself) if your beliefs in each of the four components align with and complement each other.
In other words, the more your beliefs in each component clash with each other, the more likely you are to suffer from low self-esteem. For example, you see yourself as boring (your self-image) but you want others to see you as interesting (your ideal self). This gap between your self-image and your ideal self creates internal conflict and undermines your self-esteem.
It's difficult to pinpoint the beliefs that inform your opinion of yourself in each of these areas. However, there are a number of tests you can take to discover what you really think about yourself—and to what extent external validation influences this opinion—such as The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale or The Flourishing Scale | eng | 551e83e2-7035-4e71-a6c4-1334411d2ac3 | https://www.shortform.com/blog/seeking-validation-from-others-3/ |
Thinking of doing your MBA abroad? But you have no idea which country to choose between the USA and UK? They do seem similar but there are key differences that can help you make your decision.
Trying to make a decision as big as this can be overwhelming and if you have done your initial research, you must know that the US and the UK are the top two study abroad destinations when it comes to pursuing an MBA degree, but when it comes to choosing one destination you need to find out which of the two will suit your requirements the best.
So, without further ado, let's discuss the key differences between MBA in the UK and the USA.
World Ranking
Both countries attract thousands of international students because of the top-tier education they provide. However, if we go by the FT Global MBA Ranks 2022, we will find more US business schools in the top ten and only one business school in the UK in the top ten list.
Top Business Schools in Usa
Top Business School in Uk
Business School in USA in the top ten list by FT Global MBA Ranks 2022:
Eligibility
When choosing a study abroad destination it is very important to check the eligibility criteria. Though the eligibility criteria may vary from university to university, the general criteria that is followed are:
MBA in the UK
3-4 years of undergraduate education from an internationally recognised institution
2.75 to 3.6 GPA
2-4 years of work experience
680 TO 690 score in GMAT
TOEFL or IELTS score
MBA in the USA
3-4 years of undergraduate education from an internationally recognised institution
2.75 to 3.6 GPA
3-6 years of work experience
720 to 730 score on GMAT
TOEFL OR IELTS
The UK has more flexibility when it comes to its eligibility criteria than the USA. Most American institutions maintain strict GMAT requirements and only allow students to choose their colleges based on those scores. The GPA and GMAT scores that European institutions accept, however, range widely since they pay more attention to the quality of the application and the applicant's experience. It is best to check the school you are planning to apply for. There are schools in both countries that also offer MBAs without prior work experience
Mode of Education
In the UK, the mode of education takes on the classical curriculum, in which the focus is on theory rather than practical experience. You are only required to focus on the subject area you opt for. While pursuing MBA in the USA, gives students the option to get hands-on practical experience and the flexibility to explore other subjects.
Duration
MBA in the UK
MBA in the USA
12 to 21 months, usually of 12 months/one year
2 to 3 years
The duration is one of the reasons why an MBA in the UK attracts global attention. Unlike other countries, including the USA where the usual duration of an MBA is 2 years, the UK's one-year program seems more ideal for professionals who are in a hurry to resume or start their career. However, in a two-year program, students can complete their internship while studying, which can give them an extra edge in their future careers.
Cost of Living and Education
MBA in the UK
MBA in the USA
Cost of Education
£35,000 up to £58,000 for a 12 to 21 months program
Over $60,000 per year
Cost of Living
In popular cities like London over £1500
In smaller towns, £700to £1200 per month can be enough
$2061
In the list of the most expensive countries in the world, the UK ranked 12th while the USA ranked 8th. And if we look at the duration of the MBA in both countries, we can see that the cost of living will be less expensive in the UK than in the USA. Also, the cost of education is less expensive in the UK, as the MBA program is typically of one year, which makes it ideal for students who are on a budget.
Work Visa and Immigration Policies
The US has stricter policies when it comes to providing visas to international students and the competition is fierce when it comes to getting into UK universities. In conclusion, your chances of getting into either of the countries are more or less the same.
It is important to note that:
United Kingdom
United State of America
In the UK you will get 2-year work visa upon graduation through the new Graduate Route
F1 visa holders can stay and engage in OPT for 12 months after graduation.
You can apply for an H-1B visa during your OPT (H-1B is a US work visa for high-skilled migrants.
Also, if you are a STEM-certified MBA then you have an additional advantage. You can get a 24-month extension of OPT which means you can have two extra years to apply for an H-1B.
Job Prospect and Salary
MBA graduates are one of the most sought-out individuals around the world and have a strong job market, it doesn't just prepare you to tackle any management position but also offers good work opportunities. Chances of employment after you study in the USA are very attractive. And in the UK, the job prospects are good enough too. The average salary of an MBA graduate is:
The average MBA salary in the USA was $137,890
The average MBA salary in the USA was £96,103 ($116,000)
While working as a student in the USA has a catch, international students in the USA can only work on-campus and in specified training programs during the first academic year while on an F-1 and M-1 visa. While in the UK, you can work up to 20 hours per week during the school term and more than 20 hours while on vacations both on and off campus.
In the End
While both countries have a plethora of opportunities, the right destination for you depends upon the program and university you choose. We hope the information we provide helps you paint a clear picture of what you want and which destination you should pursue an MBA in | eng | 979e1117-b16a-48f7-8256-08a58f63057e | https://www.edvisehub.com/mba-from-uk-or-usa/ |

To the right of the aircraft we can see Osaka Castle, which at the time was part of the Osaka Arsenal, a major arms producer. On the aircraft itself we can see one of the upper gun turrets, while the first engine on the right appears to be leaking rather a lot of oil!

In Utah, an owner can hold title to real estate in several different forms. Three forms of ownership are discussed below: 1) sole ownership; 2) joint tenancy with rights of survivorship; and 3) tenancy in common.
Sole Ownership
The simplest form of ownership in Utah is sole ownership by a single individual or entity. That individual or entity can sell, transfer, use, enjoy, and burden the property however it wants. No other owners have rights or a say in how the property is used.
However, one joint tenant cannot bind a co-owner by a contract relating to the common property. For instance, one joint tenant cannot sell the entire property without the approval and signature of the other joint tenants. A joint tenant could only sell his or her interest in the property, which would terminate the joint tenancy and create a tenancy in common (discussed next) between the new owner and all the old owners. A joint tenancy also terminates when a joint tenant mortgages its interest to a third party. A joint tenant can also destroy a joint tenancy and create a tenancy in common by executing and recording a deed transferring its interest to itself.
Each joint tenant has what is called a "right of survivorship," which means that when a joint tenant dies, that owner's rights in the property automatically transfer in equal parts to the remaining owners. So, if there are three joint tenants, they all have a one-third, equal interest in the property. If one dies, the remaining tenants then have an equal one-half interest in the property. When only one tenant remains alive, that tenant becomes the sole owner of the property. So, all that a joint tenant must do to obtain full title to a property is outlive the other joint tenants. Because of this right to survivorship, whether there is a joint tenancy or a tenancy in common, when a co-owner dies is very important. If a tenancy in common exists, the remaining tenants do not inherit the property through the right of survivorship, but they do under a joint tenancy.
Tenancy in Common
Tenants in common, like joint tenants, are co-owners who have the right to use and occupy the entire property. However, different from joint tenants, tenants in common can hold different ownership shares in the real property. For example, one tenant in common may hold a 25% interest in a property while the other holds the remaining 75% interest.
Another huge difference between a joint tenancy and a tenancy in common is that tenants in common don't enjoy rights of survivorship. When a tenant in common dies, that owner's interest in the property passes to that owner's heir. It does not pass automatically to the other co-owners as is the case with a joint tenancy, which includes rights of survivorship.
But similar to a joint tenants, one tenant in common cannot bind other tenants in common to a contract (such as a sale) without approval from the other tenants in common, although one tenant in common can generally sell or transfer whatever interest that tenant in common possesses without approval from other owners.

What Are the Odds of Winning the Lottery?
Lottery is a game of chance where you can win money by picking numbers at random. Some governments outlaw this type of gambling, while others endorse it and organize state and national lotteries. If you're considering playing the lottery, there are many things to keep in mind, including the odds of winning. You can also read about some of the tricks to winning.
Lottery payouts
Lottery payouts are the process by which winnings are distributed to players. Typically, lotteries return between 50 and 70 percent of the money staked back to players. The rest goes toward administration costs, charitable donations, and tax revenues. This process is known as a "return to the player."
Odds of winning
If you're interested in learning more about the lottery's odds of winning, you're not alone. Almost every week, thousands of people purchase tickets hoping to win the jackpot. While one-in-a-million odds are an attractive prospect, they're not a guarantee of winning. In fact, you'd have more luck flipping a coin twice!
Scenario of a winning ticket
Scenario of a winning lottery ticket: Imagine you have purchased a winning ticket in a lottery. You are told that the prize is one billion dollars and that you must present your ticket within a specific time frame. If you do not receive the winning lottery ticket within this time frame, you have no chance of winning.
Rules of the game
There are three basic elements in a lottery ticket: chance, consideration, and prize. You need all three elements to win. The rules that govern how the lottery is operated state these elements, as well as how winners are selected and how to claim a prize. If you have questions about the rules, you can contact the governing authority. You can also consult a frequently asked questions list to learn more about the rules of the lottery.
Online lotteries
Online lottery websites offer a safe and secure environment for lottery enthusiasts. These websites follow government regulations and provide reputable payment methods. They also use SSL encryption software to protect your personal and financial information. There are a few key differences between government-licensed websites and proxies. While government-licensed sites offer free lottery tickets, third-party websites may charge a commission based on the winnings they generate. | eng | f5141653-eb81-46ea-b997-9476a0b1fd4a | https://marigoldnaturalpharmacy.com/what-are-the-odds-of-winning-the-lottery/ |

Custom E-Mount to Sinar View Camera Adapter | #Celebratephotography
Or how to mount a contemporary Sony digital camera to an older, view camera bellows system. Remember if your solution doesn't exist on the market you can always make it yourself! I know build-its doesn't like the knurling but check out that custom thumbscrew!
Bayley has a pretty cool Sinar view camera. I'm not going to go into exactly what a view camera is (go read wikipedia), but the gist is that you add a bunch of degrees of freedom between the camera's sensor (or film) and the lens, allowing you to shift the plane of focus to somewhere not parallel to the plane of the sensor or lens.
Unfortunately, using his CCD camera back requires tethering the camera to a sketchy old PowerBook G4, because that's all the software to read it runs on, and tolerating the painfully slow ~1 Hz live-view updates. Focusing can literally take an hour if it's a tricky shot.
To improve the view camera experience, I made an adapter for mounting my own Sony α6000 camera body to the view camera's motion stages. Because the sensor is much smaller and recessed more into the camera body, you don't get the extreme range of motion in tilt and swing like you do with the giant sensor, but it's sufficient to get the view-camera effect | eng | 411b3f4c-852c-4f85-b1d0-5e3cdf01da9e | https://blog.adafruit.com/2017/04/12/custom-e-mount-to-sinar-view-camera-adapter-celebratephotography/ |

For so many of us, faith and faith communities play an integral role in our lives, whether we are Sikh, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish, Baha'I or practice another faith. Faith leaders and faith-based communities have the power to shape and transform our ideas about the world, inspire us and nurture our strengths. And we look to the remarkable leaders of our faiths, for guidance and support.
Which is why faith-based leaders and faith communities have so much potential to shape our beliefs about how we should treat everyone with equality and respect regardless of their gender. As women of many faiths, we look to our leaders to support our vision of equality and rights for people of all genders.
Yet often, faith-based communities are dominated by men's leadership, underpinned by patriarchal structures, rigid gender norms and gendered hierarchies that exclude women from decision-making or faith leadership. What about the spiritually strong women? What do our faiths really think about what equality means?
For the Sikh community, at least, Guru Nanak was very clear. Born in 1469 in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan, Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught that everyone is equal, regardless of caste, age, or gender. In fact, among his many teachings (equality, earning an honest living, service to others, and living in harmony with the environment) Guru Nanak was a champion of women's empowerment, insisting that women deserve the same treatment as men. According to Sikh scripture, women are entitled to the same rights and privileges as men, can lead congregations, and serve as spiritual leaders in the Sikh faith.
Nanak's followers became known as Sikhs, which means seekers of truth. Sikhism is the fifth largest religion in the world, and Sikhs make up one of the largest groups of Indian Australians. Punjabi, the language of Sikhs, is the fastest growing language group in Australia.
Over the years of our work with the Sikh community, we have seen firsthand the leadership and strength of so many Sikh women and Sikh men, working for gender equality. Guru Nanak had the vision to see the importance of women's leadership and empowerment over five hundred years ago. Celebrating his teaching and life this month is also an opportunity to celebrate what strong faith-based leadership in gender equality looks like. May Guru Nanak's messages continue to shine a light on the needs of women and all people for harmony and equality. | eng | f973c628-a915-4eba-9c56-77d231fe8aba | https://www.mcwh.com.au/putting-faith-in-gender-equality/ |
Growing Distrust Between Police and Public
What is the duty of the police towards the nation at large? To brutally kill the people? To pass callous comments on victims when they need their help? Or they are supposed to serve the nation? Protect the innocent people from criminals? Indian police were designed during the British period to serve the empire. There wasn't any drastic change in a structure of police but with the passage of time, people started believing them, maintaining mutual understanding but when we delve into the matter that is happening from past few years and if the brutality of police continues then people won't be able to trust police ever again. Killing of George Floyd by Police officer in the USA is one of the instances of Police brutality. How the police had shown their callous attitude and promoted racial inequality.
If black men face racial inequality then who will help them? It is the unpalatable fact that the Police is itself engaged in crime. After this case, the department of police was dismantled and they restructured their entire department. But what actually happens in India? The abuse of power, fear of wrongful arrest coma sexual harassment coma custodial death is creating distrust between police and public but no satisfactory action is ever taken on time. The recent Vikas Dubey encounter is one of the examples. We would not delve into the matter of whether the encounter was fake or not? Whether the victim and their families are happy with the encounter or people are celebrating? But the point is Vikas Dubey was not arrested earlier because of political and police patronage and the death of eight Police was because of the police who gave information about the operation to Vikas Dubey. Albeit, Vikas Dubey died and people are celebrating it but what about the police who were engaged with him? Is justice served? That police were the hoodwinker and Is there any corroboration that they won't repeat such blatant action again? | eng | 75a57e90-cb76-4648-9a05-4417f8560d29 | https://thenationaltv.com/Article/growing-distrust-between-police-and-public |
Essay Writing
An article, generally speaking, is a literary composition that presents the writer's opinion about a specific subject-but the expression is ambiguous, encompassing a variety of papers, pamphlets, an essay, a short story, along with other written works. Essays usually have traditionally been categorized as formal as well as personal. That is because a typical essay would be composed to answer some question or give another details on a specific topic-the question being either academic or non-academic.
But the field of literary experiments is much more wide than meets the eye. There are various kinds of essays, the majority of which are made to be read both for entertainment value and to provide an educational perspective on an established subject.
Essays generally are split into two groups: literary and non-linguistic. The term"literary" generally identifies works of fiction, like poems and plays. The expression"non-linguistic" describes functions that will be readily understood by the majority of people-essays, for example, are usually very easily understood in the English language. These types of written work are often regarded as forms of entertainment. But, they also have a tendency to be a form of public education, in that lots of writers compose on a wide variety of subjects. As a result of this, non-linguistic essays also tend to be regarded as a form of literature.
Literary essays are frequently quite lengthy, due to their subject matter. Some writers even compose multiple essays-a book report, for example-on the identical subject, each article being an opening to the next. This kind of essay frequently necessitates extensive research on this issue, it is examining, in addition to the writer's overall understanding. This requires a lot of mental work and dedication, but it is necessary to produce a worthwhile work.
Literary essays are often brief, as a rule. Their length can vary based on the length of the topic, but it's normally between 500 and 1500 words. Most frequently, the writer will begin the essay by talking about the subject or themes that he intends to pay for , then fill in the remainder of the essay based on his/her research. Many times, the essay will end with some type of conclusion. However, is not needed to achieve that. A literary essay will usually include at least one conclusion essay writing service legit (usually a debate ), and also at least one supporting evidence.
Non-linguistic essays are somewhat briefer than literary kinds, usually under 500 words. They're typically less complex and frequently involve illustrations. In addition to the info supplied in the essay , those essays may also have sources including books, articles, blogs, sites, and other related sources. | eng | db586cfe-89fa-4730-9dce-047eae6a7c95 | https://nutopiaa.com/essay-writing/ |

Big Pharma Once Again Makes Billions Off Of A Drug That Doesn't Work
When the government suddenly announces a recall, or even talks about pulling a product from the shelves, it's normal to assume that some unexpected defect has recently been discovered. Maybe the feds have noticed that a car's airbags don't deploy during a crash, or that a certain brand of fish tank is prone to spontaneous implosion. Whatever the case, you're inclined to think that some new information has come to light that necessitates the recall. And in most circumstances that's true.
But there is one industry —Big Pharma — that has consistently been the exception to this rule. This is an industry that happens to enjoy a lot of special treatment from the federal government, including immunity from lawsuits. In the pharmaceutical industry, a recall doesn't necessarily mean that some catastrophic defect has just been identified. Instead, it often means that there's been a known problem for a very long time — one that's been deliberately hidden from the public, until finally it's impossible to deny any longer. After COVID, most of the country realizes that this kind of thing can happen. What they might not realize, because there's a mountain of propaganda designed to hide this fact, is how common this is.
Here's the latest example. Right now the pharmaceutical industry is debating whether to issue one of the biggest recalls in modern history. The recall would affect a wide array of over-the-counter cold medicines, including some products bearing the brand names Mucinex, Tylenol, Sudafed, NyQuil, and Benadryl. The reason? According to the government, these products don't work. At all.
To be clear, as we'll explain in a second, some Benadryl and Sudafed products still work, according to the government. We're talking about a certain but very popular subset of these over-the-counter products that use a specific ingredient. At the same time, if you're one of the hundreds of millions of people who have consumed these products over the past decade, this is a big headline. You paid money for a product that you thought worked, on assurances from the government and Big Pharma. You then ingested this product, based on those assurances. And now you're being told that these pills had all the effectiveness of eating a cookie and drinking some warm milk.
One of the first questions you'd think to ask, under these circumstances, is when exactly the regulators and the pharmaceutical companies figured out that these products are completely ineffective. If you listen to most news reports on this subject, you'll be left with the impression that some new information came out. That impression would be completely wrong, but it's what they're presenting. Here, for example, is CBS News:
What's left unmentioned in that report is that this significant alleged defect in these drugs — the fact that they don't do anything — has been widely known for years. It's not new information. Nearly a decade ago, in 2015, researchers at the University of Florida said they found conclusive evidence that many non-prescription decongestants didn't work. "Scientific evidence continues to show that the most popular products on the market containing phenylephrine are ineffective." (Phenylephrine, to be clear, is used in certain drugs like over-the-counter Sudafed. It's not used in the brand of Sudafed you have to get from the pharmacist.)
The researchers continued: "We think the evidence supports that phenylephrine's status as a safe and effective over-the-counter product should be changed. We are looking out for the consumer, and he or she needs to know that science says that oral phenylephrine does not work for the majority of people."
This was back during the Obama administration. The findings raised a lot of uncomfortable questions, such as: Why would the FDA approve a drug that's effectively a placebo? Why were regulators still allowing Big Pharma to sell it? Why were people continuing to buy drugs that didn't do anything? And where are the prosecutors? Isn't it fraud to advertise products that don't work? Shouldn't there be penalties for making billions of dollars off of something that doesn't do what it's supposed to do?
By refusing to do anything about phenylephrine, the federal government dodged all of these questions. They also helped cover up their role in causing the problem in the first place. You rarely hear this discussed, but the supposedly useless ingredient in question, phenylephrine, wasn't always used in medications like Sudafed. Twenty years ago, the key ingredient in the most popular form of Sudafed was a very different decongestant called pseudoephedrine. This ingredient, we can be reasonably confident, actually works.
But in 2006, the federal government made it a lot harder to get "real Sudafed" with this ingredient. Congress passed a law effectively requiring people to undergo background checks before they could walk out of the store with it. "Real Sudafed" was no longer an over-the-counter medication. The justification for this restriction, ostensibly, was stopping people from using the ingredient to make meth. We'll be taking a lot of dangerous drug kingpins off the streets, they told us.
Once Congress passed that law, Big Pharma needed an alternative. Most customers don't want to wait in line for a pharmacist every time they need a decongestant. So they'll leave the CVS without making a purchase. So very quickly big pharma came out with a new form of Sudafed using a different ingredient, called phenylephrine. Big Pharma, and the federal government, told us it was the best of both worlds. This new form of Sudafed can't be used to make meth. At the same time, we were assured, it's just as effective as real Sudafed.
Shortly after that law was passed, there were reasons to doubt the narrative that the government was pushing. For one thing, because of all these changes, a lot of innocent people were arrested for no reason. One of them was named Tim Naveau. He was charged with a federal crime for buying too much Claritin. He wanted to get some extra pills for his son, who was going away to camp. In response, local officials arrested the man. They didn't care that he wasn't making meth. They charged him anyway. They said he was collateral damage in the larger meth war, which this legislation would help the federal government win.
Nearly two decades later, we learn that nothing we were told turned out to be true. For one thing, meth has never been easier, or cheaper, to obtain in this country. It's not coming from domestic meth labs, for the most part. Instead it's coming from Mexico, across a border that the federal government has deliberately left open. And on top of that, according to the government, the substitute Sudafed and related drugs were not effective, as we were promised. It's useless. The new narrative is that Big Pharma made billions of dollars every year selling products that did not work. They knew it. The federal government let them do it.
Why are they telling us now? Is anything they're telling us true? That's a question we can't answer, because both Big Pharma and federal regulators have lied so routinely, so consistently, that there's no reason to take anything they say at face value. If recent history is any indication, it's probably not a good sign. Normally when the federal government says a drug doesn't work, there's two possibilities.
The first possibility is that they're trying to drive up sales of some other drug. We saw that during COVID: "Don't take that therapeutic; it's horse tranquilizer. Take our shot instead." In the case of these decongestants, there's long been a push to require prescriptions. In various states, activists and politicians have said it's not enough to hide these decongestants behind the counter, and to track their sale. They say it's necessary to require people to get a prescription first. This has been going on for a while. Here's one report in Indiana from a decade ago, for example:
So this is the first possibility for why they're pulling these drugs. Maybe it's part of a larger effort to shift these decongestants to a prescription model, so that more people are seeing doctors and pharmacists — and there's more money being made by everyone involved.
That's one theory. The other possibility is that the FDA's fraud simply couldn't go on any longer, because the evidence that they're lying about these drugs' effectiveness was becoming too overwhelming. If that's the case, it wouldn't exactly be the first time something like that happened. It was just a couple years ago that the FDA unanimously approved an Alzheimer's drug called Aduhelm that didn't work. This is one of the most expensive drugs available on the market. It costs more than $50,000 per year, per customer.
But the approval process didn't go as smoothly as the FDA and the drug maker, called BioGen, would have liked. Several of the FDA's experts resigned in protest after the agency approved Aduhelm, even though there was no evidence it did anything to treat Alzheimer's. Here's one of the experts who quit:
As you just heard, the entire premise of the drug was that you can cure Alzheimer's by removing so-called "sticky plaques" in the brain. But it later emerged the research supporting that theory, which appeared in Nature magazine, was doctored. On top of that, serious side effects of the drug emerged, including brain bleeding.
So why did the FDA approve the drug? It turns out the agency had a close relationship with the drug company, BioGen, throughout the approval process. This relationship, Congress later determined, broke the FDA's own rules. But it worked out for BioGen.
We see this phenomenon again and again. The federal government tells us that a drug works, and that they know exactly how it works. By the time we find out they're lying, the drug company has made a ton of money. We saw something similar happen with SSRIs. For decades, we were told that low serotonin levels were linked to depression. Therefore, SSRI's would fix that problem by allowing more serotonin in the brain. Even as mass shootings and depression and suicide rates all went up, we were assured by Big Pharma and the media that SSRI's were working. That was what the science said, and if you disputed it, you're a troglodyte. It only emerged last year that, in fact, low serotonin isn't linked to depression at all.
Somehow that wasn't a major scandal. SSRIs — which stands for selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors — were never pulled from the shelves, even though the official position of the scientific community is that low serotonin doesn't cause depression. There were no massive class-action lawsuits that bankrupted the companies that made billions of dollars from these SSRIs, just as BioGen hasn't been held accountable for its worthless Alzehimer's drug, and just as no one in the Sackler family went to prison for lying about the addictiveness of opioids.
For all those reasons, we can assume Big Pharma and the government will continue to lie to us. If they don't face consequences, they have no reason to change what they're doing. That's why, at this moment, our political leaders are gearing up for a new round of COVID decrees. These decrees have already arrived in Canada, where public health officials are now calling for children as young as six-months-old to receive COVID shots.
There are no clinical trials or studies that demonstrate that it's safe or necessary in any way to give COVID shots to six-month-old children. Not a single one. And, to be honest, even if they had conducted trials, there would be reason to doubt those, as well. We are now at the point where, whatever the class of drug we're talking about — whether it's Alzheimer's treatments, COVID shots, SSRIs, even decongestants — you can assume you're being lied to. If you consume drugs that Big Pharma and the federal government are pushing, you're running the risk that ten or twenty years from now, you'll learn what it's actually doing, and what the actual side effects might be. Whatever you take, and whatever your kids take, you simply have to factor that doubt into the equation. You have to keep in mind that, if something bad happens down the line, you'll be told it's breaking news, and that no one could have seen it coming. Even though the people who made the drug, in fact, knew it was coming.
Is this an ideal situation from a public health perspective? Of course not. But it's the system we have. And if there's any upside to the news this week, it's that no one — not even people who are just shopping for a decongestant — can deny it anymore. | eng | 45cb3fa3-e685-4246-b329-9f4124571647 | https://www.dailywire.com/news/big-pharma-once-again-makes-billions-off-of-a-drug-that-doesnt-work |
Conservative rebels pushing for an in-or-out referendum on Europe are riding the tide of public opinion, according to a Guardian/ICM poll. Some 70% of voters want a vote on Britain's EU membership, and by a substantial nine-point margin respondents say they would use it to vote for UK withdrawal.
Forty-nine per cent of voters would vote to get Britain out of Europe, as against just 40% who prefer to stay in.
Obviously! Why would the Brits want in on that sinking ship?
In 1990, Britain entered the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) but left two years later after the GBP came under major pressure from speculators (notably George Soros, who earned nearly $2 bn). Britain's poor financial system was exacerbated by their ERM exit, which earned its day the name "Black Wednesday" in the press. Britain lost billions of GBP and fell into a depression that helped propel the Labour party under Blair.
In 1999, ERM was replaced with ERM II and national membership became part of the convergence criteria to join the Euro currency which debuted shortly after. Today, leaders from Germany and France will attempt to clean up the mess that their solidarity has wrought. (Though, as Ray Dalio noted, no matter what is solved in Europe there will be a de-leveraging.) While the British aren't doing too great themselves, they at least have the benefit of being further away from the mess than the other European superpowers.
Judging by the predictions for the EU, Black Wednesday may be remembered fondly in British history as an extremely close call. Soros move paved the way for the recovery by allowing the pound to depreciate. Financial disasters are almost uniformly unfortunate, but time has a distinct way of changing how history is written and, thus, how we value our actions. Black Wednesday is my favorite example of how imprecise utility calculations can manifest.

It is my understanding that this whole thing is a result of a bit of PR fluff that the Coalition tried, allowing Brits to petition to have something discussed in Parliament. Much to their surprise, the people took it seriously and one of the first things up was the referendum on staying in the EU, which all 3 major parties have promised at different times, and all have reneged on once in office.
As many as 80 Conservative MP's may vote for the referendum despite a "Three Line Whip" order not to from the Prime Minister's office. TLW is the equivalent of saying, if you vote against us, y'all had better resign because we are kicking you out of the party. Labour and the Liberal Democrats have promised enough votes to make sure that the British people are not at risk of having a chance to influence their future.
So, Kathleen; you were over there recently. What is your take on the results of this defiance? Could it bring down the government eventually? What is your sense about the chances of a significant part of the Brit electorate turning to the BNP or UKIP, and the reaction of the three major parties if either BNP or the UKIP establish a presence in the Parliamentary good old boys club? | eng | 6220ae68-aec0-498d-a38c-d6c8de5a6225 | https://legalinsurrection.com/2011/10/black-wednesday/ |

As a part of Tweag's ongoing effort to add
WebAssembly code generation GHC, we need to compile GHC's runtime
system to WebAssembly. The libffi library to pure
WebAssembly is an essential dependency of the GHC runtime: it is used
to pass Haskell functions as callback to C functions. As the
implementation of libffi depends on the platform, we've had to port
it to WebAssembly.
This blog post introduces libffi, the challenges to make it
work with WebAssembly, demonstrates our implementation, and also
explains how it's used by GHC runtime. I hope our implementation can
be useful for other people porting projects to WebAssembly (especially
wasm32-wasi).
What libffi is about
libffi is a C library that provides an interface to perform indirect
function calls, where the function's type signature is only known at
run-time instead of compile-time. This is a common use case when
implementing an interpreter that supports calling C foreign functions
from the interpreted language. GHC's bytecode interpreter is an
example, we will need it to support running GHCi in WebAssembly.
Consider a minimal example. A C function fib is exported by the
dynamic library libfib.so:
intfib(int n);
In order to call fib in their language, the user code would provide
the library name, the C function name, and the expected type
signature. Using the system's dynamic linker, it's easy to load the
specified library and obtain the code pointer that corresponds to
fib:
Now, we have fib as an opaque code pointer. How do we invoke the
fib function, pass the arguments and obtain the result? Remember,
fib's type signature is not known at compile-time of the
interpreter, so we can't cheat by merely coercing fib to the C
function pointer type and then performing the call:
This is where libffi comes to rescue. It allows you to construct
RTTI(run-time type information) for C functions, perform a function
call using that RTTI and a run-time allocated argument vector, then
obtain the result if there is any:
libffi and WebAssembly
The implementation of ffi_call is deeply platform-dependent. For
each supported platform, it needs to implement to the C ABI's calling
convention: given a function's type signature, where are the
arguments/result placed (in certain registers, and/or on the stack),
how to arrange the return code address, etc.
The problem is, WebAssembly C ABI doesn't look like any
other platform!
There are no global registers for passing arguments or result. Instead, a
C function of type void (int, int) maps to a WebAssembly function
of type (i32, i32) -> nil directly, each C argument is a
WebAssembly function argument.
The only way to jump to a function given the code address is the
call_indirect opcode. call_indirect
requires specifying an expected function type at compile-time. It
traps at run-time if the expected type doesn't match the actual type
of the pointed function.
This makes it hard to port ffi_call to WebAssembly: even given the
type information at run-time, there's no places where we can move the
arguments/result around, and we can't jump to a function without
knowing it's type signature at compile-time (if we do, that defeats
the purpose of libffi in the first place!)
Code generation to the rescue
Given a code pointer in WebAssembly, we need to know the correct type
signature at compile-time in order to perform an indirect call, but
that information is only available in the RTTI. But it should be
possible to do a run-time pattern match on the RTTI, then in each case
of that pattern match, we know the precise type signature at
compile-time:
voidffi_call(ffi_cif *cif,void*fn,void*rvalue,void**avalues){switch(cif->encoding){// argument & result type is both a signed intcase(encoding_of((ffi_type_sint)(ffi_type_sint))):{// cast to correct function pointer type, then perform the call*(ffi_type_sint*)rvalue =(((ffi_type_sint*)(ffi_type_sint))fn)(*(ffi_type_sint*)(avalues[0]));return;}// other function types follow suit}}
This way, we avoid the need for fancy logic of moving arguments and result, and adjusting the
stack. We simply coerce the code pointer to the correct function pointer
type and perform the call. It's a pretty intuitive implementation, but
the devil is in the details:
There are infinite numbers of
possible type signatures. So we have to live
with a limitation: restrict the maximum number of arguments to a
small constant that's sufficient to cover our use cases. What more,
The case count grows exponentially with maximum argument count.
Suppose we have k non-void value types and no more than N
arguments, then the case count would be (k^N)*(k+1). So N must
be very small (currently we chose N=4).
libffi
supports many value types that model different C types, so even a
small N would require a prohibitively large number of cases!
Well, according to the WebAssembly C ABI, these value types are
mapped to one of the four WebAssembly value types, so, for us, k is really
just 4.
How do we pattern match on the RTTI? We can encode each type signature
to a distinct integer and store it in the ffi_cif struct. The
encoding_of macro calculates the encoding value, so we can
implement ffi_call with a
single switch statement.
Despite the limitations, writing this dispatch code manually would be
incredibly tedious and error prone. It would also be terribly
difficult to change N if the need for larger functions occurs. So
we've implemented a code generator for it in
Haskell.
libffi usage in the GHC runtime
In GHC's runtime, libffi is used to
support dynamic foreign exports to C. Here is a minimal example:
#include<Rts.h>// instead of returning the result directly, we take a callback// function pointer, which will be called with the result as argument.voidfib(HsWord x,void(*cb)(HsWord)){
HsWord a =0, b =1, c;for(int i =2; i <= x;++i){
c = a + b;
a = b;
b = c;}switch(x){case0:cb(0);return;case1:cb(1);return;default:cb(c);return;}}
The GHC runtime needs to generate the cb C function pointer that
wraps a Haskell function, and that Haskell function is a dynamic
closure generated during program run-time. How?
When compiling mk_cb, GHC generates a C function with the void () (ffi_cif *cif, void *ret, void **args, void *user_data)
prototype. The cb callback's type signature will be passed via
cif, its argument/result will be passed via args/ret. But
what does this function do, and what's user_data? Read on.
When mk_cb is called in Haskell, a StablePtr (immutable pointer
to any Haskell value) is created and points to the passed Haskell
function. The GHC runtime then invokes the libffiClosure
API to create the C callback function, passing the
StablePtr as one of the arguments. The resulting function pointer
is returned to cb in Haskell.
When cb is invoked in C, it calls the GHC-generated C function in
Step 1. The StablePtr created in Step 2 is passed as the
user_data argument, but keep in mind, user_data is not a
argument of cb, it was passed to Closure API when generating
cb. Now, that function will locate the real Haskell function from
user_data and then call into Haskell.
Admittedly, the example above is overly complicated for a fib
implementation in Haskell, but a lot of real-world C libraries do
expect users to pass C callbacks, so their Haskell bindings rely on
dynamic foreign exports. Searching for
foreign import ccall "wrapper" on the entire Hackage yields
about 4500 matches across 200 packages. It suggests that dynamic
foreign exports is common and important enough for us to support. So
we need to implement libffi Closure API as well.
Implementing the Closure API
The Closure API needs to return a C function pointer which points to a
function that "remembers" certain arguments passed to the Closure API,
but not to itself. This resembles the "closure" concept in functional
programming, where a function may be closed over some environment
value (user_data in our case), hence the "Closure API" name.
On platforms which support JIT (Just-In-Time) code generation, there's
a natural way to do it: allocate some executable memory, emit machine
code there and return it as the function pointer. We can either
hard-code the Closure API arguments into the function code, or access
those arguments somewhere else in the memory, either way won't be hard
to implement.
There do exist platforms that prohibit JIT.
In that case, libffi has a workaround called static
trampolines: define a pool of functions
to return, each of which has an associated memory location to record
Closure API arguments. When the function is called later, it reads
cif to decide its type and what registers correspond to its
arguments/result. This is similar to ffi_call, except ffi_call
uses the platform-specific C ABI knowledge as caller, but here it
uses that knowledge as callee.
Our Closure API implementation follows the idea of static trampolines.
However, the same challenge of implementing ffi_call arises again: we
can't have a single pool of functions for all possible types, instead,
for each C function type we support, we need to have a separate pool.
This also means that we can't "allocate" a function without knowing
cif, therefore we can only implement a modified version of Closure
API described below:
Similar to ffi_call, the Closure API C code is generated in Haskell.
When calling the Closure API, we do a switch table to pattern match
on the input type information. In each case, we know the
corresponding pools to allocate from. The returned function pointer
knows which ffi_closure it should be looking at, since each
generated function has a 1-to-1 mapping against the ffi_closure
pool.
Compared to the ffi_call API described earlier, we need to tune
another constant here: the pool size of each supported type. This
directly corresponds to how many times one may dynamically export a
Haskell function for that type. In typical use cases, there won't be
many, but in case of exceptions, it's easy to increase the pool size
only for a few specific types to avoid code bloating.
Conclusion
Our libffi code generator is implemented in a flexible way: it's
easy to adjust the set of supported libffi functions types and the
trampoline pool size, and special cases can always be added to address
project needs.
There are some future improvements we have in mind:
Measure the code size, link-time and run-time overhead when
supporting different numbers of arguments.
Test the basic/closure API on randomly generated function types. | eng | 3114fe56-5b73-41d4-a76b-ba17d11a0e33 | https://www.tweag.io/blog/2022-03-17-libffi-wasm32/ |
How Can I Stop Biting My Nails?
The majority of people begin nipping their nails as children. This habit can persist well into adulthood for many individuals. The most frequent cause is biting the nail's vicinity, which can cause painful and inflamed skin that may become infected.
Nail biting, like most habits we become accustomed to, may be an action that we don't even realize we're performing since it's so routine to us, making the notion of quitting seem unattainable for many individuals. Fortunately, there are solutions and methods available to assist you in quitting. So, whether you bite your nails because of a compulsion problem, anxiety, or boredom, here's how to stop forever.
The Woes of Nail Biting
Despite how tempting it may be, biting your nails can have several negative consequences. Chronic nail biting might lead to irreversible damage to the tissue that encases the nail, which subsequently affects how the nail grows.
If this tissue is injured, the nails may grow and develop abnormally, resulting in a strange or jagged appearance. Biting your nails repeatedly raises the risk of germs from your fingertips migrating to your mouth, and you may get sick or develop an infection.
One of the most common negative effects of biting your nails, however, is irritation of the nail bed skin. It can also cause the cuticle to become red and painful, which might lead to bacterial infections – some of which produce painful pus-filled blisters. Unfortunately, this leads to most individuals being driven to bite their nails even more to alleviate the discomfort – which is why the sooner you can stop, the better.
If you think your nail-biting is a symptom of a more serious condition, such as anxiety or depression, you must talk to your doctor or healthcare professional. Nail-biting might be an indication of a psychological or emotional issue, so if you think it applies to you, seek expert help.
How To Stop Biting Your Nails
The experts at Express Pharmacy have provided instructions to help you permanently stop biting your nails so that they may grow healthy, glossy, and strong.
1. Determine What Triggers You To Bite
For the majority of individuals, a trigger will cause them to bite their nails. What are the triggers that cause you to want chocolate, and how can you prevent them? Are they emotional or mental factors like anxiety, stress, anger, or boredom that create the urge? Is it a physical trigger like a hangnail or a ripped cuticle? Knowing what causes you to bite may assist you in comprehending why you do it and how to quit. Many individuals can break a habit if they feel in command of the situation, so knowing when you'll be tempted to start chewing may help you feel secure enough to avoid that scenario in the future.
2. Keep Nails Trimmed Short, Neat and Tidy
It's reasonable to assume that if you want to bite your nails less, you'll have fewer nails to bite! There will be less opportunity for you to bite if your nails are kept short and well-groomed, so it will also be less tempting for you to do so. If you're used to fake, long nails coated in polish and art, this may be incentive enough to stop. Pledge yourself that you'll only pamper yourself with your favorite manicure after you've stopped chewing your natural nails. For others, this incentive may be the reverse. If you don't chew your nails frequently, purchasing them might cause you to avoid doing so.
3. Take a Step-by-Step Approach to Quit Destructive Habits.
Instead of quitting cold turkey, you might discover that the gradual and steady technique is more effective for you. This entails attempting to stop biting one nail at a time, eventually leaving them all alone. If you bite your thumbnails, you may start with them, and after getting used to not doing so, try biting them. The nails on your hands are the first to stop biting, followed by the index fingers, middle fingers, and little fingernails. Alternatively, you could attempt to quit biting both of your hands simultaneously.
4. Use Unpleasant-Tasting Polish On Your Nails
Bitter-tasting nail polish is available from chemists and pharmacies to assist individuals in stopping biting their nails. The varnish has a foul, bitter flavor that makes you hesitant to chew or bite your nails.
5. Instead of breaking the habit, try swapping it for a non-harmful one.
If you're having trouble quitting nail biting due to emotional factors, consider substituting the habit with a beneficial or harmless pastime instead. This consists of pursuing a different interest whenever you feel a pang of desire bite. Squeezing a stress ball, playing with a Rubik's cube, playing with putty, or doodling in a journal are all examples of innocuous behaviors that may be done on the move. | eng | 95295f46-60f2-43d5-a21d-a01495f3ab9c | https://gazetteday.com/how-can-i-stop-biting-my-nails/ |
From Esea I know they don't have an ip to test or what company they work with, but their ip's are public for each match so it would be a long job to look them up and compare with their published locations to get a good sample which I can try.

Are Black people cursed?
She was a sweet white Christian woman in her sixties who was a seasoned saint. She even brought a Black friend with her to this particular author event on race. That is why her question baffled me.
"Are Black people cursed?" she asked. "Someone told me that a long time ago and they said it was in the Bible."
I was stunned to find that even in 2022, there are some Christians who still believe a false message about the supposed "Black curse" placed upon the African race.

The African Hutu tribe attacked the Tutsi tribe, and when the killing ended, around 800,000 Tutsi and moderate Hutus were murdered — hacked by machetes, dismembered and slaughtered in other ways.
Although the conflict had several complex causes, one of the main drivers was the hatred the Hutus developed for their Tutsi brothers and sisters. They always had their differences, but that was magnified when European colonists brought the concept of race to the African tribes.
An online article explains how European colonists used the famous story of "The Curse of Ham" in the Bible to assign superiority to the Tutsi tribe and inferiority to the Hutu tribe. After years of racism and discrimination against the Hutus, they finally had enough. That is when the killing began.
According to the biblical account in Genesis 9:18-27, Noah had three sons — Shem, Ham and Japheth. Across time, Noah's sons have been divided by historians into three races. Shem was assigned to the Semitic race (Jewish), Japheth to the European race (Caucasians), and Ham to the African race (Black).
As the Scriptures explain, Ham disrespected his father Noah in some way that is not fully understood. As a result, Noah did not curse Ham (Ham previously had been blessed by God), but cursed Canaan, who was Ham's fourth son. Noah proclaimed that Canaan (and his descendants) would be slaves to the descendants of Shem and Japheth. Remember that later interpreters used this story to separate Jews and Caucasians from Blacks.
There are problems with this reasoning.
First, the exact time this biblical account took place cannot be known, but we can say it happened well over 4,000 years ago. That fact alone should pose the question: Has anything changed from then until now, and does this curse still apply today?
Yes, much has changed, and the curse does not apply today, nor did it apply during the pre-Civil War period. Many scholars agree the curse — if to be taken literally — was fulfilled in history long before the 17th century slave trade and the 1994 Rwanda genocide.
Second, according to this typology, it was Ham who represented the entire Black race, not Canaan. Ham was not cursed, but his fourth son, Canaan. That means Ham's three other sons, Cush, Egypt (Mizraim) and Put, also members of the Black race — were not cursed (1 Chronicles 2:8).
And third, Jesus Christ received power over all curses when he died on the Cross and rose from the dead (Colossians 2:6-15). God did not want any race, including Canaan's descendants, to be doomed forever under a curse — so he sent his only Son, in the likeness of humans, to die for the sins of the world and remove all curses. The Bible says Jesus became a curse for us so that we would not have to endure curses.
"Jesus took all the curses we deserved, whether inflicted by us or our ancestors, and nailed them to his Cross when he was crucified."
See Galatians 3:13-14 — "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us — for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree' — so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith."
Jesus took all the curses we deserved, whether inflicted by us or our ancestors, and nailed them to his Cross when he was crucified. That includes the curse of Ham's son Canaan. No longer does any descendent of Canaan have to live with a 4,000-year-old curse. The blood of Jesus Christ killed the curse.
As Christian leaders, we often assume there is no need to address certain issues we believe people already should know. However, the old saying, "Better to be safe than sorry," certainly applies in this situation. If someone asks you if Black people are cursed, now you can tell them the good news: No! The Blood of Jesus Christ is much stronger than the curse of Canaan. Jesus removed the curse!

Roots of Justice co-founder Dr. Regina Shands Stoltzfus talks about how the process of "divide and rule" impacts People of Color, and keeps BIPOC and white people separate. It obfuscates the truth that "the sum is greater than our parts" for dismantling racism.
Deep anticipation was what I felt rising inside me as I sat in my seat at the movie theater Friday night of The Woman King. It was opening weekend and I was determined to be in that number. Knowing that this story was not fictitious but was based in the fact of a real woman warrior group called the Agojie made me swell with a bit of pride.
Set in the 1800s Dahomey kingdom of West Africa where the Agojie, an elite military regime of women take part in protecting their kingdom. The Agojie existed circa 1600-1904 as one of only a few known all-female military units in the world. Also known as the Dahomey Amazons, from the kingdom which thrived during the 18th and 19th centuries in what is now modern-day Benin. The film did not disappoint. It was epic, cinematically stunning, filmed in South Africa, along the coast of KwaZulu-Natal and Cape Town. The warrior women are portrayed as strong, agile, smooth-bodied, and beautiful. Viola Davis plays the formidable Nanisca, General of this women's army, whose primary task is to train the next generation of woman warriors. And that she does. | eng | 12b75f94-89b2-4394-b2de-c2bb63957597 | https://www.rootsofjusticetraining.org/blog/archives/10-2022 |
C++ Map – Erasing Elements By Callback
Maps are associative containers that store elements in a mapped fashion. Each element has a key value and a mapped value. No two mapped values can have the same key values. Different ways to erase elements in Map are:
Erase by key
Erase by position
Erase by value
Erase by Callback
What are Callback or Callback functions?
A callback is any executable code that is passed as an argument to another code, which is expected to call back (execute) the argument at a given time. In simple language, If a reference of a function is passed to another function as an argument to call it, then it will be called a Callback function.
Approach: Iterate over all the elements of the map and execute the given callback for each element. If the callback returns true then delete that element and move to the next element. | eng | a3225d0b-af0c-4b04-8921-a45c26fc3049 | https://origin.geeksforgeeks.org/cpp-map-erasing-elements-by-callback/ |

Hong Kong trouble - another perspective.
Publish date: Wed, 24 Jul 2019, 09:35 AMMy two cents on this issue:
1. Why are the young people even on the streets?
Innocent, naive, promising young people should not be filled with so much anger n despair....who r behind them? What diabolical force is behind this instigation to impressionable youth to rebel against their leaders n elders? What evil hand is guiding these adults-to-be, to be so filled with violent rage against a law which probably is no direct concern of theirs anyway?
The law to be introduced was meant to extradite criminals or corruptors, who have broken the law or stolen taxpayers money, back to China to face justice. These criminals are mainly corrupt ex-government officials who stashed their illegal wealth in HK n abuse loopholes in the legal system to avoid prosecution. The extradition law if passed by HK legislators, would have brought these corrupt, immoral n dishonest abusers of power to justice!
I failed to comprehend why any right thinking HK citizens would reject this righteous law?
It is feared by our young protesters n the hidden powers behind them (their unknown financial backers?) that the China government may abuse the extradiction law to nab dissenters n critics of the communist party.
Talk about jumping the gun!
Some balance in analysis is helpful here! What we have here is a segment of HK young population who have been led into believing that civil society in China is so oppressed by the government.....that life under the communist govetnment is so unbearable... like in a police state.....if this is so, how do you explain the 150 million Chinese citizens who travelled overseas last year n return to China?? Truth is they return to China because they r happy in China....they actually live meaningful lives pursuing their dreams in communist China.....something which our young HK protesters n their western sympathisers can't wrap their heads around!
Lest HK forgets, be reminded that the Chinese government brought 800+ million people out of poverty the last 30 years! No nation in world history has ever done that.....not India, Africa, the Philippines, Indonesia, South America...most of whom follow the US political system of electoral democracy!
Truth be known...the vast majority of Chinese r behind their government.....they live in peace n happiness under this benevolent government....they prosper under the reformist policies of the government!
Once in a while you do hear of isolated incidences of injustice inflicted upon innocent victims by corrupt officials, especially in far-flung corners of China....managing reform in the largest country on earth is not an exact science! But thankfully these wayward officials r decreasing in numbers in President Xi Jin Ping's administration!
All in all, the Chinese experiment in socialism is working...down to the last man on the street..... to the horror of the west!
This success of the communist system in China is totally unacceptable to America n the West! It vilifies their value system.....their world view....their notion of freedom....it vilifies the sacred cow of the American dream!
2. HK Youth - Tools of the West in Containing China n the East?
At the end of the day, its all about money n power! Wake up all ye precious HK young people! America doesn't really care about your freedom nor democracy! Under the British, for 99 years, there was never any talk of universal suffrage....its a recent invention of the West in HK after 1997 to contain China. Just as the USA n their western allies forced the emerging Japan economic powerhouse in the 70s-90s to accept unfair trade policies, they r now doing all they can to stop China's growth....in the end its all about money n power! God forbids that China or any other Asia nation overtake the USA as leader n superpower!
3. The USA n its allies use whatever they can, scruple or no scruple, to bludgeon China n the world into submission under their control, politically or economically!
3. 1 USA uses human rights to undermine China....this is off course the crudest joke in 300 years! The USA is surely one of the greatest abusers of human rights in history. Europeans colonised the New World by exterminating the Red Indians almost in their entirety.....when Europeans invaded North America in the 18th century, there were about 15 million Indians.....by the time they won the war with the Indians, over-powering the arrow-shouting with modern guns n rifles, only about 250,000 were alive.....white Americans massacred more than 14 million Red Indians.....it was genocide on a grand scale! And now, the USA has the gall to accuse China of human rights abusers... promoting themselves as the protector of human rights!
3.2 The USA uses the green movement to limit China's growth...accusing China n Asia summarily of green house gas emissions, pollution, deforestation...etc. The fact is that the USA n western Europe, which consist of 20% of the world's population, consume 80% of the world's resources including fossil fuels....contributing the most pollution !
3.3 The simple fact is that HK young people r being used n manipulated to disrupt legitimate governing authority to undermine China...creating instability...for the ultimate goal of forcing China to concede more economic advantage to the US...in other words, using unfair n destructive tactics to contain China, just like they did to Japan before...in the 80s the US targeted Toshiba, the symbol of Japanese technological prowess back than.....just like they r attacking Huawei today.
4. As Christians what should be our response to the street protests?
4.1. Peace.....all our responses must be non-violent. We must engage peacefully with government leaders to seek understanding...n suppress the spirit of rebellion n disobedience.
4.2. Respect....all leaders n government...its God who raised up government for his higher purpose. Street protest is unacceptable to true Christians.
4.3. Build trust-relationship with both HK n China leaders....reach out...communicate positively....the communist government is not against Christianity nor other religions.....they r just against bad people who cause trouble under the pretext of Christianity.
4.4. Prayer.....this is the most important n effective thing Christians can do. Pray for the young people...pray for HK n mainland government...pray for peace, understanding between HK n China.....most of all, pray for healing n revival through God's power n love.
Uk itself in the process of self-destruction. scotland, Ireland all ask for independence post brexit. UK is on the way of complete break out. Thus, in no way to advise China Beijing the best model for HKG. China Beijing do the right thing being firm on its political standBY RIGHT CHRISTIANS SHOULD OBEY CIVIL GOVERNMENT HOWEVER IN COMMUNIST CHINA NOW THERE IS NO REAL FREEDOM OF WORSHIP TRUE CHRISTIANS WHO BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE AND FOLLOW ITS PRECEPTS 100% ARE FORBIDDEN WHILE CHURCHES WHICH FOLLOW THE DICTATES OF CCP ARE ALLOWED | eng | 379939e6-be17-4f45-988b-8d0d3e4a0575 | https://klse.i3investor.com/web/blog/detail/teoct_blog/2019-07-24-story216479-Hong_Kong_trouble_another_perspective |
A Beginner's Intro to the Most Popular Saltwater Species in August
Ken Schultz
8/16/2023 -- for the likes of flounder, halibut, grouper, sea bass, croaker, porgies, spot, snapper, and rockfish, to name a few -- mostly done in the ocean and large bays and relatively near the coastline.
• Offshore trolling -- for such pelagic species as striped marlin, blue marlin, yellowfin tuna, bluefin tuna, and bonito, as well as wahoo and mahi-mahi --
Even within a region, however, the availability of some popular targets varies. Striped bass, for example, are widely sought for most of the summer in Maryland's portion of Chesapeake Bay, but not in Virginia's portion, since the latter state closes the Chesapeake striped bass season from mid-June until October. Meanwhile, stripers are a main summer quarry in the cooler ocean waters from New Jersey to Massachusetts.
You may notice that salmon aren't mentioned here. Some historically popular saltwater fishing species in August, as well as commercially important ones, are under mandated strict conservation measures due to poor stocks. This is particularly true for Pacific salmon, but also includes striped bass and grouper. Seasons and catch limits for these species have recently changed (and are subject to more changes as well as sudden closures), so be attentive to what the current regulations are as established for the state waters where you'll be fishing | eng | d0f39804-5a4c-47bc-ab01-bf84357319a1 | https://www.takemefishing.org/blog/august-2023/the-most-popular-saltwater-species-august/ |

Stack Overflow bans ChatGPT as 'substantially harmful' • The Register
OpenAI's question-answering bot, ChatGPT, isn't smart enough for the team at Stack Overflow, who today announced a temporary ban on answers generated by the AI bot because of how frequently it's wrong.
Stack Overflow said it was withholding a permanent decision on AI-generated answers until after a larger staff discussion, but was taking action now due to fears that ChatGPT could be "substantially harmful" to both the org and its users.
"The average rate of getting correct answers from ChatGPT is too low," Stack Overflow said in a policy statement entitled "ChatGPT is banned."
ChatGPT was released last week and touted by OpenAI in a blog post as a conversational AI that can provide detailed answers to questions, as well as "answer followup questions, admit its mistakes, challenge inappropriate premises and reject inappropriate requests."
OpenAI lists debugging code as one of ChatGPT's uses, which would seem to make it an ideal companion for developers seeking to cut out bad lines. But the Stack Overflow administrators who wrote the post said that simply isn't the case.
"While the answers which ChatGPT produces have a high rate of being incorrect, they typically look like they might be good and the answers are very easy to produce," Stack Overflow said.
"The volume of these answers (thousands) and the fact that [they] often require a detailed read by someone with at least some subject matter expertise in order to determine that the answer … has effectively swamped our volunteer-based quality curation infrastructure," the SO team added.
To address the issue quickly, Stack Overflow said it was going to take action against anyone posting answers or new posts generated by ChatGPT, even if such a post would otherwise be acceptable.
ChatGPT was designed to avoid abuse and answers that contain harmful advice, but users quickly found such things could be sidestepped. For example, by telling ChatGPT not that you want to make a Molotov cocktail, but that you want it to complete a Python function that prints instructions to do the same, it will tell you exactly how to make one via print functions.
The AI has also been called out for providing bad information in biographical sketches, and for "proving that incorrect answers delivered cogently can fool people," according to one Twitter user who spotted some bad math generated by ChatGPT.
We've reached out to OpenAI to learn what it plans to do regarding these reported accuracy issues, but haven't heard back.
Stack Overflow said it'll be weighing new policies surrounding ChatGPT "and other similar tools," but a decision date, and what it will ultimately restrict, is unknown. ® | eng | baf41560-14dd-4596-be0c-f624708895f1 | https://xnetics.com/stack-overflow-bans-chatgpt-as-substantially-harmful-the-register-2/ |

As an architect, running your own firm means that you are not only responsible for designing and overseeing projects but also for managing your business finances. Accounting is a crucial task that cannot be avoided if you want your firm to thrive.
In this blog, we will be discussing the importance of accounting for architects running their own firms and why it is necessary to have a good understanding of various financial aspects of your business. From keeping track of expenses and revenues to managing cash flow and paying taxes, we will delve deep into the critical role that accounting plays in the success of an architectural firm.
So, let's get started and explore the accounting practices that every architect must know to excel in a competitive industry and achieve long-term success.
The role of accounting in managing an architectural firm
Accounting plays a crucial role in managing an architectural firm. It is important for architects to have financial records that are accurate and up-to-date so that they can make informed decisions regarding their business. Accounting enables architects to track their income and expenses and also allows them to understand their cash flow, which is necessary to ensure that the firm remains financially stable.
One of the main reasons accounting is important is that it helps architects to keep track of their finances, which enables them to make better decisions. By knowing how much money is coming in and going out, architects can make informed decisions about how they allocate their resources, such as hiring new employees, taking on new projects, or investing in new technology.
Accounting is also necessary for managing the taxes of an architectural firm. Architects are required to pay taxes on their income, and accurate accounting records ensure that they pay the correct amount of tax. Proper accounting also allows architects to claim deductions and credits that can reduce their tax burden.
Another important role of accounting in an architectural firm is budgeting. By tracking income and expenses, architects can create a budget that helps them stay on track financially. A budget can help architects to manage their resources and plan for the future. By planning ahead, architects can avoid financial stress and ensure that their business remains profitable.
Finally, accounting is important for managing the financial health and stability of an architectural firm. Maintaining accurate financial records allows architects to identify areas where they can improve their financial position, such as reducing expenses or increasing revenue. By staying on top of their finances, architects can ensure that their firm remains financially stable and able to weather any economic challenges that may arise.
Common financial Challenges faced by architect's firms
Architects who run their own firms often face a range of financial challenges that can significantly impact their business's success. These challenges can arise due to various factors, including market competition, changing industry trends, and overall economic conditions. Here are some common financial issues that architects face while managing their own architecture firms.
Cash flow management:
One of the most significant financial challenges that architects face is managing cash flow. When clients delay or do not pay for services rendered on time, the architect's cash flow management can be negatively impacted, making it difficult to cover operating expenses and meet financial obligations like paying salaries, rent, and utility bills. Architects need to have an effective system in place to ensure smooth cash flow management.
Marketing and brand building:
Architects need to invest in marketing and branding efforts to promote their services and attract clients. However, the initial cost of establishing a brand can be high, and maintaining visibility can be a challenge. Architects need to have a program to attract clients with their creative design ideas and nature.
Managing staff and payroll:
Running an architecture firm involves managing a team of employees whose salaries and benefits add significantly to the business's overhead expenses. Architects must ensure that they have a reliable payroll system in place and that employee benefits are managed well. This requires financial planning and management skills to keep the business operating effectively.
Cost control:
Controlling costs is a critical aspect of managing an architecture business. Mismanagement of expenses can lead to financial difficulties, pushing them into debt. Architects need to be vigilant in tracking expenses, negotiating better rates with vendors, and controlling wasteful expenditures.
Legal and regulatory compliance:
Architecture firms must adhere to legal and regulatory requirements that can entail substantial costs and risks if not done correctly. Some of these regulatory compliance include health and safety regulations and employment laws. Architects need to have a clear understanding of all legal and regulatory obligations and ensure full compliance at all times.
Architects who run their firms face many financial challenges that require strategy and planning to overcome. By managing cash flow, investing in marketing efforts, monitoring expenses, and complying with legal and regulatory requirements, architects can increase their chances of success in the long run.
Benefits of proper accounting for architects
Proper accounting is essential for architects as it has several benefits that can lead to the success of their businesses. Here are some of the advantages of having a good accounting system:
Financial Stability: Accounting helps architects to maintain financial stability by providing them with an accurate picture of their cash flow. By keeping track of their expenses and income, they can anticipate financial difficulties and make necessary adjustments to their business operations to avoid financial risk.
Better Decision Making: With proper accounting, architects can make informed decisions regarding their projects and business. By analyzing their financial statements, they can determine the profitability of each project, identify areas where they need to cut costs, and allocate resources more efficiently.
Compliance: Architects are subject to various tax laws and regulations that require them to maintain accurate financial records. Proper accounting helps them to comply with these regulations and avoid penalties and fines.
Improved Efficiency: Accounting helps architects to streamline their processes by automating tasks such as invoicing, payroll management, and financial reporting. This efficiency allows them to focus on their core business functions and deliver projects on time and within budget.

Menstrual Disorders: Astrological Remedies For It
Menstrual disorders have become a common health phenomenon among women. Apart from making women anaemic, menstrual disorders also contribute to irregular period-cycle, weakness, oily skin, loss of appetite, mood swings and unbearable pain at times. Though the medical science behind all these woes is well established, but in this blog, we will try to understand the complications around periods through an astrological lens.
To understand menstruation from an astrological point of view, we first need to understand what planets and houses that have a role to play in the whole process.
Menstruation in women is governed by the planets Moon and Mars. Here, the Moon signifies fluid, and Mars, on the other hand, signifies blood.
Meanwhile, the womb of a woman in astrology is governed by the sixth house.
The ovaries are governed by the seventh house.
Apart from Mars and the Moon, Venus also plays a role when it comes to periods.
Venus, as a planet, controls reproductive organs and the overall urinary system.
Venus also rules and controls the various hormones that drive human actions.
The position at which the lords of Mahadasha and Antardasha are in one's Kundli also decide the effects of the menstrual cycle.
Which planets are responsible for menstrual disorders?
As mentioned above, the planets Mars and Moon have a significant impact on the menstrual cycle in women. As per AstroTalk's expert astrologers, if the planet Moon (the significator of ovaries, uterus, and Fallopian tubes) is in 6th, 8th or 12th house and aspects by any two malefic planets like Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, then the native is to suffer from menstrual irregularities.
To understand precisely, the 6th house in astrology is the house of health, wellness and daily routines. So, the presence of any malefic planet is to affect your health considerably. Moreover, the 8th house, which is ruled by Saturn, is a malefic house, thus is to have the same effects. At last, the 12th house governs aspects like imprisonment, hospitalisation, sleeplessness, separation, addictions.
Also, if the Moon is in conjunction with the aforementioned planets (Mars+Ketu, Mars+Saturn, Mars+Moon, Mars+Rahu) in your chart, then the menstrual woes will increase.
In a gist, periods problems are the result of:
Affliction of Moon and Mars in the native's kundli results in disruption in menstrual cycles
Moon in the 8th house afflicted by Mars indicates excess bleeding in the menstrual cycle and inflammation.
Mars and Rahu in the 7th house leads to excess bleeding
If Moon and 8th house is troubled by Saturn, then the result is menstrual pain
Venus in 6th, 8th or 12th house brings common female genitals disorders | eng | 6ce35f7e-94d0-4376-98bd-f676ae34d50e | https://astrotalk.com/astrology-blog/astrological-remedies-for-menstrual-disorders-in-women/ |
The Effects of Cannabis on the Immune System
As more and more research is done into cannabis, scientists are discovering just how it affects our body. Some of this research is on the immune system, specifically on how it affects people who have autoimmune conditions.
When smoked, cannabis (or hash oil) affects the immune system in a number of ways. These effects vary from person to person, and may even differ over time.
Anti-Inflammatory
Cannabis is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, and it's easy to see why: Cannabinoids interact with CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, which regulates inflammation. The cannabinoid CBD and the common cannabis terpene beta-caryophyllene, which is often used in pot extracts, appear to have especially strong interactions with these receptors.
But the immune system can also be affected by cannabis, in both good and bad ways. Researchers have found that regular users of cannabis may have decreased levels of white blood cells, which are a type of immune cell that fights off infection. These findings are important because white blood cells can help limit inflammation and bacterial infections.
The effects of cannabis on the immune system are complex and can depend on a number of factors, including how much the substance is consumed, how long it is taken, what dosage is used, and whether it's used in combination with other substances. As a result, it's important to take into account the various factors when examining the potential benefits and risks of using cannabis.
Research has shown that cannabis can suppress the inflammatory response in people with autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus. The effect is thought to be a positive one because it could help reduce the symptoms of these conditions without negatively impacting other aspects of the immune system, such as the ability to heal itself.
However, it's also possible that the effects of cannabis on the immune system are detrimental in immunocompromised patients, such as those who have HIV or AIDS. In these cases, regular use can actually weaken the immune system by reducing the number of CD4 cells (a marker for a healthy immune system) and increasing viral load.
These effects are similar to the way that chemotherapy can reduce the immune system. For this reason, some studies have suggested that cannabis could potentially dampen the effect of chemotherapy on cancer patients, reducing their ability to respond to immunotherapy.
However, other studies have found that even though cannabis may suppress the immune system, it can have a beneficial effect on people with autoimmune disorders. For these patients, it can be an alternative to steroids that commonly suppress the immune system.
Suppresses Infections
Cannabis is a sativa plant that grows around the world and can be consumed in various ways. It can be smoked in hand-rolled cigarettes, joints, or pipes, or it can be vaped using a device called a vaporizer. It also comes in different forms, such as hash oil, which is a thick, oily substance made from the dried flower buds and leaves of the marijuana plant.
Cannabis contains chemicals known as cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD). THC interacts with cannabinoid receptors on immune cells and has been shown to suppress certain inflammatory responses. CBD, on the other hand, has anti-inflammatory properties and can even kill some types of immune cells.
Researchers from the University of Illinois Chicago found that cannabidiol, an ingredient in cannabis, inhibited SARS-CoV-2 infection in humans and mice. It also decreased the number of virus-causing cytologic components in sputum.
Research also shows that cannabis suppresses the production of a type of immune cell called myeloid-derived suppressor cells, which are responsible for controlling the body's immune response. This suppressive effect can make pot-smokers more susceptible to cancers and infections because these immune-regulating cells are out of commission.
The effects of cannabis on the immune system are complex and vary from person to person. It is important to note that while marijuana may suppress some of the immune system's functions, this is a relatively rare effect. It is also important to note that cannabis has a variety of other beneficial effects on the immune system, including its ability to stimulate anti-inflammatory responses and reduce inflammation.
One study showed that a single dose of pharmaceutical-grade cannabidiol, which is extracted from the cannabis plant, significantly reduced viral replication in human lung cells infected with SARS-CoV-2. It inhibited the virus's ability to attach itself to a key part of the cell membrane, called the viral spike protein.
A recent study comparing the immune systems of cannabis smokers and non-smokers found that pot-smokers have less active T cells, the infection-fighting cells that are most common in healthy adults. This can lead to an increased risk of developing a pulmonary infection or other diseases, especially among patients who are immunocompromised due to a chronic illness.
Stimulates Immune Function
The body's immune system is an incredibly complex system that combats pathogens and infections by protecting our bodies from invading microbes. This is done through a number of systems, including the innate immune system (the first line of defence), the adaptive immune system (which attacks foreign invaders) and the humoral immune system (which detects and kills malfunctioning cells).
Our innate immune system is comprised of barriers that prevent bacteria and viruses from entering the body and biological walls that harness enzymes, acids and mucus to discourage infection. It also includes scavenger cells, called phagocytes, which "envelop" invading bacteria or viruses and help destroy them.
Some people with autoimmune conditions, such as Multiple Sclerosis and Crohn's Disease, have low levels of the proteins that form these barrier barriers. Taking medical cannabis may strengthen their immunity by boosting production of these molecules and reducing inflammation.
It also appears to reduce inflammatory responses by interacting with CB2 receptors in the endocannabinoid system, which is found throughout the body. This is because the terpenes in marijuana, especially CBD, bind to these CB2 receptors and suppress inflammatory response.
These effects can make a big difference to some people who have autoimmune disorders, such as those suffering from Multiple Sclerosis and Crohn's Disease. But it can also cause problems for non-autoimmune patients, who will find that their inflammatory reactions are worsened by the immunosuppressive effects of cannabis.
For this reason, medical doctors often recommend using a combination of drugs that strengthen and suppress the immune system. They can do this by adding cannabinoids to medications, such as anti-inflammatory drugs and steroid medications. This is known as synergism.
However, it's important to note that there isn't much evidence that CBD can boost the immune system, although some studies suggest that it can act as an immune suppressant. This could be useful for those with autoimmune diseases, but more research is needed to determine whether CBD has any other beneficial effects on the immune system.
As with any medication, it's always a good idea to consult a health care professional before starting any new treatment. They can help you understand any side effects that might occur and can recommend the best way to take your medicine.
Increases Inflammation
The effects of cannabis on the immune system vary from person to person. This is because everyone's body reacts differently to the plant, including the types of cannabinoids that are in it.
Some of the main compounds that are found in marijuana include cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). These chemicals have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties, which makes them beneficial for those who suffer from chronic pain, arthritis or Crohn's disease.
In addition, the effects of CBD and THC have been linked to reducing inflammation in people with HIV-related comorbidities. However, how these drugs affect gene expression in peripheral blood cells is still unknown.
A recent study on patients with Crohn's disease showed that cannabis was effective in reducing inflammation and inflammatory markers like CRP, IL-6, and fibrinogen. It also reduced pain and nausea, which are common symptoms of this condition.
Another study on cancer patients showed that a CBD-based formulation was more effective than a pure CBD treatment at reducing inflammation and lung function. This may be due to the fact that CBD and THC are able to interact with a number of different receptors, which can increase the body's overall response.
The endocannabinoid system is a central component of the immune system, which regulates inflammatory responses in the body. It is composed of cannabinoid receptors type 1 and 2 (CB1 and CB2), arachidonic acid-derived endocannabinoids, and enzymes involved in endocannabinoid metabolism.
These receptors are located throughout the body, and they interact with other molecules and ions. They can also be activated by specific chemicals and metabolites.
In the present study, we explored associations between self-reported recency of cannabis use and biomarkers of inflammation in a nationally representative sample of adults from Wave 1 of the Population Assessment of Tobacco and Health (PATH) survey. We used weighted linear regression models to determine the association between self-reported cannabis use and natural log-transformed hs-CRP, IL-6 and fibrinogen, adjusting for sociodemographic and psychosocial factors.
There was a negative association between self-reported cannabis use in the past 30 days and hs-CRP, although the confidence intervals around the point estimate included both null and positive values. Similarly, the association between self-reported cannabis use in any time period and IL-6 was also negative with wide confidence intervals. | eng | b94581f4-61c2-4557-9b95-53b9622c3aea | https://royalseedsboutique.com/the-effects-of-cannabis-on-the-immune-system-5/ |

The 3 Greatest Moments in pipeline bakery History
"Pipeline" is a reference to the pipelines in the United States—the pipes that carry oil, natural gas, and coal. These pipelines form underground water courses; they are not only a necessary part of a functioning society, but they also are a necessary part of a healthy environment.
They also house a bakery in the middle of a very big industrial city. I have to admit, I'm not the biggest fan of pipelines. I think they pollute the air, are a major cause of contamination, and are a big health issue for people. Still, the fact that they are the very foundation of a modern society makes them a fairly decent place to live. Pipeline bakeries are small and are not as high in quality as bakeries in cities.
Pipeline bakeries are a relatively new type of bakery that began in the 1960's. They are typically made out of wood or plastic and are extremely cheap to make. They are generally small and not the most clean places to live. The fact that they are open 24/7 makes them an ideal place to live, but many of the workers are overworked and sleep in basements or take long shifts.
In my opinion, a bakery is not a place to live. Rather, it is a place to work and work hard. Most bakeries are located in small cities or towns, as opposed to the big cities where many bakeries are located. A bakery is a place to work and work hard.
A lot of people think because they work in a bakery, it's a boring place to live. While that may be true for some people, I think the main reason people think it's boring is because they don't realize how much time they need to work. A person working at a bakery is not a part of the work they do. They are part of the people they work for and the machinery they use.
Like any other business, a bakery is a trade. A person who works in a bakery also works in a grocery store. The baker and the grocery store are two sides of the same coin. It is also true that a bakery has to have some equipment and employees. But it is also true that if you can make a business like a bakery, you can make a business that is a lot of fun.
Pipeline baker is an American term for a grocery store that sells items by the truckload. It is sometimes used as a synonym for a gas station or a convenience store. Pipeline baker is a term that can be applied to an art gallery or a music store.
In the same way that when you buy an album you are still paying for the privilege of listening to it as you move from album to album, a pipeline baker is a person who sells the same product by the truckload. In the case of a pipeline baker, it is the same product that is sold by the truckload. The bakery sells the most popular items and has the most customers. Pipeline baker is an easy way to make a business that is a lot of fun.
A pipeline baker is an easy way to make a business that is a lot of fun. I've seen some of the most ridiculous things in the history of business happen with this kind of business. It's not too hard to get started in this business. You just need to build a following and have a great product to sell.
The reason why you're on pipeline baker is that you can make it to a high-paying job in the real world. The real world is not good enough. In this game you have to build a big product that is cheap, and that's how you can make a business that is a lot of fun. The worst part about this game is that some of the biggest companies (I have no idea what's the worst case scenario) are in the middle. | eng | ab302cd5-b093-4b65-8791-44b870a3eb0d | https://tazchi.com/pipeline-bakery/ |
Kayo Dot – Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue
Some of the Avant Garde shit coming out these days, it's hard to tell weather or not weather the group is full of musicians who have studied musical extensively and have embarked on a search for new textures and structures, or they are simply a bunch of idiots who stumble through their writing process for hours and hours to make something that sounds different. Either way, new great music can be formed or "misunderstood" garbage can be made.I don't know which of the two types this band is, but I can tell you this cd is not garbage. Weather one likes it or not is not important, it is something that needs to be experienced, much like how poignant war movies aren't necessarily enjoyable but greatly deepen your understanding of the subject.
The structural approach, the harmonic language and arrangement of timbres one doesn't hear very often in rock/metal is all very complex. The structures are not complex in they just throw in riff after another together and don't look back. Some songs have moments of hanging voices and ambient for six minutes before going into a somewhat traceable pattern, nothing on this is predictable nor is it completely random. The harmonic strucuture is just not that of the millions of core bands these days (deathcore, spazzcore, jazzcore, mathcore, techcore), where the bands try to make fifty nine million ear bleeding noises for every decent one. They instead paint pictures of desperation in a desert, disorientation in a dark basement, a homeless night in the street with a pallete of diverse tonal harmonies. The arrangement is not the guitar, bass, drums at all time with vocals most of the time. No, far from it. Guitars, bass (sometimes distorted), drums, vocals, bells, trumpets, and violins, cellos, euphoniums all taking part in a conversation and each perfectly content to stay silent for a
good stretch of time. Each one refraining from saying something hackneyed and instead choosing to be insightful at all times.

Contact Center vs. Call Center: Which One Do You Need?
The call center has served as the hub of customer service for decades. With the advent of toll-free 1-800 numbers and technologies like private branch exchange (PBX) and interactive voice response (IVR) in the 60s and 70s, organizations were able to field customer calls at scale. But today, your business has more choices – you can use a contact center or a call center.
Contact centers rely on more advanced technology, and they offer more communication channels. However, there are significant similarities. Both contact centers and call centers use inbound and outbound agents. And both are ground-zero for delivering excellence in customer service.
If you're setting up a customer service hub for the first time or considering upgrading your existing call center, you need to decide which is better for your organization in the long run. To help you choose, we've unpacked the details of each option in this contact center vs. call center comparison guide.
How Do Call Centers Work?
A traditional call center is an office staffed by agents who handle most of the communications with customers. There are two types of call centers: inbound and outbound.
With an inbound call center, customer service agents take calls from customers. Call center agents generally address customer support issues and billing questions. They can also act as a knowledge base for customers who need information or help using a product.
The main distinction of the call center is that it has one communication channel – phone calls. In the past, this involved on-premises PBX phone systems, which meant call center staff worked from an office. But with cloud-based phone systems, your organization can function with a remote call center.
How Do Contact Centers Work?
Contact centers have the same purpose as call centers – agents are there to converse with customers and handle all of the customer support and telemarketing functions. But, the difference is the communications technology your agents are using.
Contact centers are the evolution of call centers. They still revolve around phone calls, but your agents can also communicate with customers via SMS messages, video, and email. This opens up new possibilities for enhancing the customer experience because you can connect with customers on their preferred channels.
While a call center can still be used to offer call-based support and outbound communications, it probably won't fit your organization's needs in the future. As consumer expectations keep shifting toward omnichannel interactions, the call center can't compete with the more dynamic contact center.
The reality is, voice is still number one, but a lot of your customers would rather converse via chat, email, or text messaging. According to a recent survey of U.S. consumers, phone is the most popular channel at 37 percent – but chat, email, and text account for another 44 percent.
With contact centers, you can live up to customer expectations for a more streamlined, omnichannel experience. This isn't just convenient – being able to connect in different ways is becoming essential for competing in a customer-centric world.
With features like real-time order status updates and chat support options, you can give your customers faster support – a McKinsey survey found that 75 percent of consumers expect help within five minutes.
Another distinction is the technology itself. With a modern, cloud-based contact center solution, your company can access custom reporting. With rich analytics on first-call resolution, talk time intervals, and more, you can continually optimize the contact center experience, which can elevate the level of customer support your customers receive even further.
Contact Center vs. Call Center: Which One Is Better for Remote Teams?
A lot of businesses are shifting to remote and hybrid work models because of the added flexibility. According to research by Gartner, by 2023, 35 percent of the customer experience workforce will be remote – this is up from 5 percent in 2017.
With remote agents, your business can save on office space, hire from a wider talent pool, and appeal to workers who prefer to work from home.
Both the call center and the contact center model are a good fit for remote and hybrid organizations. However, you can do more with a remote contact center.
If you want to virtualize your call center, you can by switching to VoIP (voice over internet protocol) phone technology. Your agents can work from home and still offer the same high level of service. It's also easy to set up a cloud phone system – there's no need to make a large hardware investment or to undergo a heavy technical setup. Your users simply need an internet connection, VoIP phones, headsets and other accessory hardware, and software.
You can also operate with a remote or hybrid contact center, giving your agents the option to work in the office or at home. With contact center software, you can get all the functions of a call center – IVR, call queues, and call routing. But you're also able to connect via any channel – voice, chat, SMS messages, and email.
Additionally, you can integrate with your CRM (customer relationship management), creating a single source of truth for your customer data.
Which Is Right for Your Business?
When comparing contact centers vs. call centers, there's no question that a contact center offers more tools for enhancing customer experience. And with today's cloud-based platforms, your business can access all the benefits of contact centers – omnichannel communications, analytics, and integrations – without a large IT budget.

Bio fi…
Continue Reading first World Championship in 1940 with a 31-29 win over George Halas' Chicago Bruins.
Price enjoyed one of his finest basketball campaigns during the 1941-42 season when he scored over 3,000 points in a 104-game Globetrotter season, an incredible achievement during an era of low scoring games. Price joined the National Basketball League (the predecessor to today's NBA) in 1942 as a member of the Chicago Studebakers for one season. Price started at forward for the Studebakers and led the league in free throws made during his lone NBL season.
The Studebakers were the pioneers of racial integration, as nine of the 13 players on the roster in 1942-43 were African Americans. The NBL and the Studebakers were years ahead of professional baseball and football for breaking the color barrier. The 1950-51 season marked the first appearance of black players in the NBA, as Harlem Globetrotter Chuck Cooper became the first black player to be drafted in the NBA by Boston and teammate Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton became the first to sign an NBA contract when he signed with New York. Price passed away on Jan. 24, 2002. | eng | 3dad163f-6cd0-40b8-9f87-83f495aca68b | https://www.harlemglobetrotters.com/world-tour/legends/bernie-price/ |

A Lesson From McBride
In a posting that is supposed to be a rebuttal to an article by Gregory Stanford, McBride shows some classic maneuvers of McBride and her fellow right-wing squawkers when they are wrong on any given point. Mr. Stanford presents a brief and very general history of the relationship between the GOP and minorities and how the two sides became so estranged. Here are parts of her post and the corresponding strategy:
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel columnist Greg Stanford has a lengthy column in Sunday's newspaper that essentially argues that Republicans are racists.
First strategy: Change the intent of the writer (or speaker) into a twisted version of the original, to make it easier to argue. It does not matter if the 'interpretation' is completely different than the original piece.
The problem with his column: It is long on conclusion, yet short on evidence. In otherwords, he never backs up his point. He goes into a lengthy historical analysis of how Republicans supposedly developed a racist strategy, yet he never provides a scintilla of evidence that they are actually racist. His main piece of evidence seems to be that some GOP candidates didn't attend some debates relating to minority issues. This is hardly evidence of systemic racism. Likely, they didn't want to get peppered with leading and biased attack questions by media folks like Greg Stanford.
Strategy Two: Deny a point, even when admitting it. This is evidenced by her stating that he went into a "lengthy historical analysis", but says he didn't prove his point.
Strategy Three: Never be satisfied. McBride's argument is that Stanford didn't prove his point because he did not provide a specific example. But if he had, she would have only argued that it was anecdotal and did not prove anything.
This is typical. If he actually tried to provide evidence, the falsity and simplicity of his argument would be exposed. What's racist about GOP policy? Is it that Republicans prefer social policies (like school choice and W-2) that empower minorities rather than patronizingly assuming they are destined to a life of perpetual government dependency? Is it that Republicans would like the rule of law enforced and greater border security rather than an open borders policy that is neither rational nor defensible in a post 9/11 world?
His opinions are also extremely generalized. (...)
Strategy Four: Play the victim card while attacking the other person. This is shown with her arguments about all the "good deeds" done by the GOP, and painting themselves as simply misundersood. At the same time, she is demonizing any and all who oppose GOP policy, making it easier for her and her ilk dismiss any arguments against their agenda.
The reader can play along and see how many times they can see these recurring strategies in McBride's ravings, or those holding a similar worldview. | eng | 36122346-ea66-4f72-b0d2-8566b6ad9fda | https://whallah.blogspot.com/2007/10/lesson-from-mcbride.html |
Will artificial intelligence make most people better off over the next decade, or will it redefine what free will means or what a human being is?

Great Moments in Baseball's dumb honor culture
TORONTO, CANADA - SEPTEMBER 12: Troy Tulowitzki #2 of the Toronto Blue Jays takes exception to the reaction of Steven Souza Jr. #20 of the Tampa Bay Rays after the final out of the game as Devon Travis #29 and first base umpire Bill Welke #52 hold him back during MLB game action on September 12, 2016 at Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

For the past seven years I've been rolling my eyes, in writing anyway, at baseball's unwritten rules and its hilariously complicated and, often, contradictory standards of decorum. There may be some consistency about when it's OK to celebrate/be angry, when it's not OK to celebrate/be angry and who, actually, has standing to celebrate/be angry, but if there is any it has eluded description. These guys just seem to make it all up based on who has a case of the redass at any given time and then claim, in hindsight, that there are traditions and rules behind it. Hey, it's their sport. They can do what they wanna.
A new wrinkle was added to the Grand Conversation last night: getting upset about an unwritten rule being violated because you had no idea what was actually going on.
It happened in the Jays-Rays game. The Rays' Steven Souza ended the game with a long flyout that he stood and admired because he thought it was a homer. When he realized it wasn't he offered apologetic words to Jays catcher Russell Martin, who he thought was criticizing him for admiring his shot. Turns out Martin wasn't mad at all. Indeed, he thought it was a homer too and was agreeing with Souza about being deceived. Souza just couldn't hear Martin due to the crowd noise.
Over at shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who could not have possibly heard the conversation, assumed that Souza and Martin were arguing about the ethics of shot-admiring and started barking at Souza, causing benches to clear and people to act chippy, even if nothing came of it. It's unclear whether or not Tulo himself thought Souza was admiring his shot too long or if, rather, he was merely trying to protect his teammate's back in an argument. It's unclear because Tulo didn't talk to reporters after the game, leaving that to Martin. Which is itself an unwritten rules violation, I am told, but we'll leave that slide.
All of which makes for a perfect microcosm of the unwritten rules and baseball's dumb honor culture:
1. Be humble lest you make someone mad; but
2. Sometimes, being celebratory isn't going to make anyone mad, you never know!;
3. Have your teammate's back, no matter what you know of the situation and no matter how dumb doing so makes you look; and
4. Be accountable and talk to the press about the bad thing you did, unless you don't want to, and then it's probably OK. At least if you're not the sort of player people are mad at for other stuff or if they generally think you're an OK | eng | 0737451e-3620-4a68-9c43-d8fa47097e61 | https://www.nbcsports.com/mlb/news/great-moments-in-baseballs-dumb-honor-culture |
Psychopaths Don't Yawn Around Others, So It's Time To Start Testing Your Friends
Everyone knows someone who just might be a real psychopath, but how can you be certain? A recent study puts one more tool into your detection arsenal:psychopaths are much less likely to yawn around others who have yawned, basically because they're lacking in the empathy that makes the yawn contagion mechanism work. So while it's not exactly conclusive, that troublesome coworker's failure to yawn around the water cooler before an early-morning meeting might actually mean something after all.
A team of psychologists from Baylor University in Texas used experimental participants (both male and female) given a psychopathy personality test to investigate how yawning is related to empathy.

It is a wise idea to permanently delete the old, incomplete/corrupted rendered video file before re-rendering what's in your project. In my prior experience, if the old video file is longer than I intended and I tried to overwrite the file, the newly-rendered file maintains the same length as the old one. For example, if my old rendered video was accidentally 3 minutes and I wanted to trim it down to two minutes, the overwriting video file maintains the same length (3 minutes); I have to delete the old file permanently before the new file renders out at the desired length (2 minutes).

The heat is on! After several days of relatively mild temperatures, triple-digit highs are in the immediate forecast – about 15 degrees above normal for mid-June.
Is your garden ready?
Help your tomatoes and other veggies cope with these tips:
* Generally, tomatoes need deep watering two to three times a week, but don't let them dry out completely. That can encourage blossom-end rot. On average, each tomato plant needs about five gallons a week.
Tomato flowers may not set fruit during triple-digit days.
* One consequence of hot weather: Tomatoes may drop their flowers without setting fruit. Tomato pollen loses its fertility over 95 degrees.
* Feed camellias, azaleas and other acid-loving plants. Make sure to water first.
* Let the grass grow longer. Set the mower blades high to reduce stress on your lawn during summer heat. To cut down on evaporation, water your lawn deeply during the wee hours of the morning, between 2 and 8 a.m | eng | cefae5c0-2c18-4a31-95fe-0b7876a8d4d4 | https://sacdigsgardening.californialocal.com/article/11279-dig-in-garden-checklist-for-week-of-june-9/ |

What is Thief game about?
Is Thief an open world game?
For all intents and purposes, Thief's central hub takes the form of an open world; the City sprawls across several large areas that you can traverse at will, and it doesn't only contain links off to the mission environments.
How old is Garrett in Thief?
30-something year old
Garrett is the main character of Thief. He is a 30-something year old man known for his honed skills in pick pocketing and other forms of thieving.
Will there be a Thief 5?
While it looks like the Thief 5 game isn't happening, the film certainly is. Straight Up Films states that it will "tell a new chapter in the storied world of the series' hero." This suggests that it will be distinct from the games, rather than a straight adaptation of an existing story.

Is thief a good game?
Thief feels unwieldy at times, although it's not the travesty some reviewers are making it out to be. It's a beautiful stealth game that's fun to play in bursts, but it's hard to recommend it without reservations. No one ever said being a criminal was easy…
How did Garrett lose his eye?
Garrett's mechanical eye was given to him by the Hammerites, after his natural eye was plucked out by Viktoria, consort of The Trickster (The Woodsie Lord of the Pagans). Karras gave him the eye in the hopes that an allegiance could be formed between the two.
Why did Garrett leave the keepers?
He was called "the most promising acolyte" in the Keeper annals, but left around the age of 20 due to his "imbalance." It was brought before the council to deal with him using the Enforcers, but Caduca informed the council that Garrett would be needed in the future.

Homeboy Sandman Will Never Be on the Radio, and He's Fine With That don't know why I keep playing this new Homeboy Sandman track. It's called "Atlantis" and it isn't overly awesome. The beat, produced by Blu, sounds like an old loop from the Police, so you might get funny looks if you blast it from the car.
But the song is just—-dope.
It's catchy as hell and I can't fully explain why.
Then again, yes I can: It's because Sandman's rapping on it. The Queens, N.Y., native has carved a nice career with ruminating flows, some of which you miss at first because his cadence is so fluid. Sandman is a purist who can rhyme about any topic and make it sound intriguing. Exhibit A:
I wreck my brain every time I try to analyze Sandman and his unique style. He can rip a beat or calmly unravel his thoughts. He sings out of tune and remains affable through it all. Since he signed with Los Angeles label Stones Throw, Sandman has dropped a slew of EPs and a full-length album, 2012's First of a Living Breed. His forthcoming album—Hallways, out Sept. 2—is in its finishing stages. We discussed the album, underground hip-hop culture, and what he has planned for Sunday's show at LIV nightclub. (Spoiler: Talking to Sandman is just as fun as hearing him rap.)
How would you describe your style to people who aren't familiar with your music?
In hip-hop, it's like it's mandatory to have a specific style. I don't have a way that I always sound. Trying to describe the way I always sound is not gonna work, because I don't always sound a certain way, ya know what I'm sayin'? Sometimes I rhyme slow, sometimes I rhyme quick like Nice & Smooth. So I don't have a style, ya know? I have a style for a particular song; I've got style as an MC, but my answer to that is, "Yo, don't try to describe my style, B. My flow is ever-changing. My shit is ever-present."
Looking back, I see people like Stevie Wonder. You look at Innervisions and everything else: It was all soulful, but Stevie had a cut, "I Ain't Gonna Stand For It," that was a country record! Musicians are always trying new things and trying to make new sounds, so Stevie wasn't asked to describe his style. That's some new shit. I just get busy, ya know?
Why aren't rappers considered musicians?
Hip-hop is not presented as a musical art. It's presented as an image. I'm always speaking on the evolution in media, and the way all music comes out, it's compartmentalized. If Aretha Franklin came out today, she'd be told she doesn't have the right look. It's not about the art or craft anymore, so hip-hop being the young genre that it is, we're in a time where the presentation of it is a lot more image-based, full of glitz and away from the authenticity. So in hip-hop, rappers aren't presented as some of the nicest God-gifted musicians that ever graced the Earth. But I definitely feel that way about myself and the cats I get down with.
There are folks like that in D.C….
Yeah, man. Me and yU got a track that's not out yet, so cats can check for that. I've been a big Diamond District fan, working a lot with Oddisee and yU.
How has hip-hop changed from years past?
I think it's doing really, really good. I'm in a good position to know about Oddisee and yU. I'm part of the community, I'm part of the culture, so I get to do shows and know about things that folks don't know about on a wide level. Just on the street level in New York, I'm up on the new YC the Cynic joints. I'm following what's cooking, so how's hip-hop doing? It's an art form and a craft, and as time keeps going by, it's only gonna keep getting better as long as people keep doing it from the art perspective. I don't believe the whole "everything's been done under the sun." We come up with new ideas every day, so hip-hop can never be old. There's always gonna be people pushing it to places it's never gone. However, it's unfortunate that people allow the media to control what's popular.
As for mainstream hip-hop, I wouldn't even call it hip-hop because hip-hop is a talent-based thing. This is the most lyric-driven genre that's ever existed, and yet you have people who can't even communicate on a speaking level. It shows that when people think hip-hop, they're thinking of a dude that can't rap. And that's not hip-hop; hip-hop is dudes that can rap. I feel great about hip-hop; I'm listening to JJ Doom and all that. Hip-hop isn't whack, so when people think of whack stuff when they think of hip-hop, that's a misunderstanding.
How can you, and the others you just mentioned, gain mainstream attention?
We don't control the mainstream channels. Me, yU and others, we're gonna do fine because we can get our music to people at shows. He gets busy and whoever hears it is gonna be like, "Yo, he gets busy." So we're always gonna be OK and our burn is always gonna get a little brighter as long as we don't fall off. But as far as getting the industry, which is based on things that aren't music, to promote music? That's silly. It's not about promoting music, so I'm not expecting yU, Homeboy Sandman, or Oddisee to get on the radio because that's not what the radio is for. It's there to promote nonsense and it's working great. The radio is not for putting music on anymore. It's for the B.S.
Schools work the same way. People say the schools are broken; I'm like "Yo, they're not broken, the schools are working great." They're for implementing and upkeeping racial stratification. So asking a question like "How do we turn the tide?" is really a bugged-out question. We've gotta turn the tide one person at a time, 100 people at a time, 1,000 people at a time. The channels are controlled by cats who are not down with us. They're never gonna open that up to us.
What can you tell me about the new album?
Yeah, man. I'm excited about this. I'm real happy with the EPs and I'm gonna do more of them, but it was great to return to the vibe that a bunch of different producers bring. I got to travel to a bunch of different places I've never been to creatively. I'm excited about some of the content that have to deal with romantic issues and personal stuff. I did this one record called "Grand Puba" that deals with the transformative stages of love. I feel it's my best penmanship ever in relation to men-women relationship stuff. I got a joint about the United States called "America the Beautiful" that Jonwayne produced. I took time to write this song to point out the things that I appreciate. I've got a song that's called "Stroll," where I'm just walking around and paying attention.
What's planned for this D.C. show?
I've been breaking out a bunch of material. Little by little at these shows, I'm gonna break out album cuts that I've never performed and don't have videos. By the time we get to the end of the tour, I'll be doing mad joints I never did. We just gonna have a real busy time, man. There's gonna be some very eclectic, unique and authentic hip-hop | eng | db1e3eaa-c42d-4d42-af6a-c981592920a5 | https://washingtoncitypaper.com/article/406546/homeboy-sandman-will-never-be-on-the-radio-and-hes-fine-with-that/ |

Heuristic Evaluation
Are you a software developer, engineer, product manager, or UX designer looking to learn more about user testing and assessing digital products? Heuristic evaluation is an incredibly powerful tool for improving your digital product's design. This evaluation technique focuses on finding the underlying issues that are causing user friction, from navigation problems to confusing labels and unclear instructions.
Read on for an in-depth look at heuristic evaluations—what they are, how they can benefit you, and how to apply them for maximum success. You'll also see how technology solutions like the heuristic evaluation checklist template in ClickUp make it easy to add heuristic principles into your workflow.
What is a heuristic evaluation?
A heuristic evaluation is a usability inspection method that can help you detect usability issues in a product or service. It involves having an expert or team of experts review the interface and assess its quality based on established guidelines. The process typically involves examining the interface for errors, inconsistencies, and usability problems that can affect a user's experience.
This technique is based on the concept of "heuristics", which are general rules or guidelines that experts use to identify potential issues. Heuristic evaluations typically involve evaluating each design element in terms of established criteria, such as recognized usability principles and industry standards. The idea is to identify any problems with the product so they can be resolved before they become major issues. This can help to increase user satisfaction and ultimately improve the product.
The benefits of running a heuristic evaluation.
Nobody wants to ship a product that people have trouble using. When you conduct a heuristic evaluation, you:
• Can uncover underlying issues before users recognize them and they become major problems
• Spend less time and fewer resources than you might with other usability testing methods
• Have more confidence in your results, since experts have detailed knowledge of best practices and industry standards
• Increase user satisfaction by correcting any usability issues
• Reduce development costs, since usability problems are identified and corrected earlier in the process
The next key thing to know about conducting a heuristic evaluation is knowing who should be a part of the evaluation system process.
Pictured: Major problems encountered seen in List view in ClickUp.
Who should be involved in a heuristic evaluation.
Heuristic evaluations typically involve one or more experts assessing the user interface. These experts should have a detailed understanding of usability principles, industry standards and UX design best practices. It's important to select people who can identify potential problems, as well as provide constructive feedback on how to fix them.
Depending on the size of the project, it may be beneficial to involve several experts, such as a product manager, UX designer and software developer. It's also important to ensure that all participants are familiar with the product or service being evaluated. This will help them to better identify usability issues which should be addressed.
Heuristic evaluation vs. usability test.
The main difference between a heuristic evaluation and a usability test is who's involved. Heuristics operate by having one or more experts inspect the user interface to uncover problems, while usability tests involve actual users interacting with the product to detect these issues.
Usability tests typically involve actual users going through tasks and providing feedback on their experiences. But as mentioned above, heuristic evaluations are typically done by experts who have detailed knowledge of best practices and usability principles. Additionally, heuristic evaluations can often be conducted with fewer resources and in less time than usability tests.
Common heuristics used in evaluations.
The heuristics you'll use in your evaluation all depend on the kind of digital product you're building—so some may be more relevant than others. These are a few of the most common heuristics people consider in an evaluation:
Accessibility: Is the interface accessible to all users, including those with disabilities or impairments?
Clarity: Is the interface clear and understandable?
Consistency: Does the design adhere to standards within its context?
Content: Is the content clear and relevant to its context?
Efficiency: How quickly can users complete their tasks?
Error Prevention: Are there measures in place to prevent users from making mistakes?
Feedback: Does the interface provide feedback on user actions?
Flexibility: Can users easily switch between different functions?
Learnability: Is it easy for new users to understand the interface?
Navigation: Is the navigation system easy to use and understand?
Security: Are there measures in place to protect user data and information?
Testing: Has the product been tested for user acceptance prior to launch?
Visual Design: Does the design appeal to its intended audience?

Key elements to include in a heuristic evaluation checklist.
So what exactly should go into your heuristic evaluation? Here are the most important features you'll need to include:
• Product or service being evaluated
• List of heuristics to be assessed
• Instructions for conducting the evaluation
• List of participants and their roles
• Evaluation criteria for each element being tested
• Results/ findings from the evaluation
• Action items for follow-up on identified issues.

School Exclusions Part 1 - Fixed Term
Updated: Apr 8
According to the latest statistics released by the Department for Education ("DfE"), children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities ("SEND") are more than four times more likely to be excluded from education than their peers[1]. These statistics cover both temporary, or Fixed Term Exclusions ("FTEs") and permanent exclusions ("PExs"). This blog will focuse on the former.
The definition of an FTE is any period of time when a child is temporarily removed from school. This includes where a school asks a parent to collect a child early/bring them in late or tells them they cannot participate in an off-site excursion. In all cases the exclusion must be recorded in writing with the reason (which must be related to a breach of the school's behaviour policy) clearly stated. Whilst an exclusion can be effective immediately, parents cannot be required to collect a child before the end of the school day. A child can only receive a maximum of 45 FTEs in any academic year (and this does not change if they move schools during the year). For the first 5 days of an exclusion the school should continue to set and mark work for the excluded child. Where any exclusion lasts longer than 5 school days, the school is required to arrange suitable full-time education from the sixth school day, for example at a Pupil Referral Unit ("PRU").
It is possible to challenge an FTE in limited circumstances, namely where the exclusion is for more than 5 days or where the period of the exclusion means that the child will miss a public examination (e.g. GCSE) or national curriculum test (e.g. SATS). In those cases, the school's governing body has the power to overturn the exclusion. In all other cases, however, there is no such power, although representations can still be made. It is also open to parents to make a discrimination claim if it is felt that the exclusion related to a child's protected characteristic (including race, sex and disability) and/or to pursue a complaint under the school's internal complaints procedure.
If you are concerned about an exclusion SEND Advocacy can provide advice and support including making representations on your child's behalf before the Governors and/or pursuing a Disability Discrimination claim.

Why Does My Jaw Keep Locking and Clicking
Why does my jaw keep clicking. Do you often hear clicking or popping sounds coming from your jaw, does your jaw lock in place, or does it hurt when you move it? These symptoms can sometimes be temporary and go away by themselves, but they could also be signs of a more serious problem with the functioning of your jaw joints.
Known as temporomandibular disorder (TMD) or temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD), dysfunction of the jaw joints is fairly common. It's estimated to affect around 30 percent of people at some point in their lives to different degrees.
If you think you might have a TMJ disorder, you should make an appointment with your dentist or doctor. They can discuss your symptoms and recommend treatments that could help to restore your normal jaw function.
What is TMJ dysfunction?
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect the lower jaw (mandible) to the temporal bone of the skull. There are two of these joints, one on each side of the head, located just in front of the ears.
The TMJ enable jaw movements for eating, speaking, yawning and other actions. The bones of the joints are connected by a soft disc of cartilage that acts as a hinge to open, close and move the jaw. It also absorbs shocks and prevents friction.
If these joints are injured or put under pressure, their function is impaired. Jaw movements may be limited and you may hear unusual sounds or experience other symptoms.
What are the signs of TMD?
Jaw problems aren't always related to TMD, but you may have the condition if you have some of the following symptoms:
clicking, popping or grating sounds when you chew or open your mouth
difficulty opening or closing your mouth
pain or discomfort when using your jaw
pain or tenderness in your jaw, face, head, neck or in front of your ears
swelling in your face
your teeth don't come together normally
Sounds coming from the jaw might not be a sign of TMJ if you don't have pain or limited movement, but it's still a good idea to see your dentist or doctor to get a professional diagnosis.
What causes TMJ problems?
TMJ disorders can happen for many reasons, and it's not always possible to identify the cause. However, your dentist or doctor will try to narrow it down so they can work on treating the source rather than the symptoms alone.
Women are more likely to suffer from TMJ issues than men, but these conditions can affect people of all ages and genders. You're also more likely to have TMD if you have a family history of jaw problems.
Following are the most common causes of TMD. It's common for the cause to be a combination of reasons, which should each be addressed to relieve pain and restore normal jaw function.
Dental or orthodontic issues
If you have a misaligned bite (malocclusion), such as overbite or underbite, this can put strain on the jaw joints and lead to TMD symptoms such as a popping or clicking jaw.
A bite may also become uneven if a tooth gets chipped or wears down, or if you have dental work such as fillings, crowns or veneers that were built too long or too short.
These problems can be corrected by a dentist or orthodontist, although orthodontics is a long-term treatment that can sometimes take years to take effect.
Health issues
Cartilage in the TMJ joints may be damaged by joint diseases such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
Other health problems may also affect joint functioning, including fibromyalgia, gout or an infection or tumour in the mouth.
Overuse of the jaw joints
Putting too much pressure on the TMJ joints can cause wear and tear, which may be temporary or cause permanent damage. Activities that can strain the jaws include:
frequently chewing gum
biting your fingernails and other hard objects
chewing the inside of your cheeks or lips
opening your mouth too wide, such as when yawning
Teeth grinding or clenching
If you unintentionally grind or clench your teeth (a condition called bruxism), either when sleeping or during the day, this can also put pressure on your jaws and increase your risk of TMD.
Bruxism may be caused by feelings of stress, anxiety or frustration, or it may have a physical cause, such as an uneven bite.
Jaw injury
Physical trauma to the jaw can damage the bones and cartilage in the joints, leading to TMD symptoms such as clicking and popping. Common reasons for jaw injuries include:
sporting injuries
road traffic accidents
trips and falls
physical confrontations
If your jaw is broken or dislocated in an accident, or you're worried about other damage, you should contact an emergency dentist or go to your nearest emergency room.
Sleep apnoea
Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a common sleep disorder that happens when the airways get blocked during the night, causing sleepers to wake up choking, gasping or snoring loudly. Jaw popping and other TMD symptoms can be side effects of OSA.
Sleep apnoea can put your health and wellbeing at serious risk and is linked to a number of chronic diseases, so it's important to get a diagnosis and discuss treatments if you think you might have it.
Treatment for TMJ disorders
TMJ treatment can vary for each individual, as treatment recommendations are based on what's likely to be causing the problem.
To make a diagnosis, your dentist or doctor may ask you about the symptoms you're experiencing, your medical history and other factors. They may also take an x-ray, CT or MRI scan so they can inspect the jaw joints for signs of damage.
When they're confident that they've identified one or more causes of TMD or another condition, they can develop an appropriate treatment plan. Depending on your case, this may include any of the following.
Home remedies
If there's no serious underlying problem, jaw pain, clicking and other TMJ symptoms may fade without treatment, but you don't have to suffer in the meantime. Your dentist or doctor may recommend ways to relieve discomfort and help your jaw joints to relax, such as:
avoiding hard, crunchy or chewy foods
cutting food into bite-sized pieces
not using chewing gum
not grinding or clenching your teeth
not opening your mouth too wide
placing an ice pack or cold compress over the affected joint
Relaxation techniques
If your TMJ may be related to stress or other psychological causes, your dentist may refer you to a counselling service or discuss relaxation methods, such as breathing exercises you can try at home or relaxation massage
Jaw exercises
If your jaw muscles are weak, working on strengthening them with regular exercises could help to ease TMJ symptoms. This should be done with guidance from your dentist or doctor, as overworking the jaw muscles could potentially make your symptoms worse.
Medication
There's no specific medication to treat TMD, but medication could be useful for managing your symptoms or treating the underlying cause.
Painkillers and anti-inflammatory medication could help you to manage TMJ pain and discomfort. Your dentist or doctor may also recommend a muscle relaxant if they think this might help.
If your TMD may be linked to a health condition, you should continue with your course of treatment, as the symptoms may fade over time.
Dental or orthodontic treatment
If your TMJ pain is caused by a bad bite, your dentist may recommend orthodontic or dental treatment to correct it. This may involve:
Bruxism treatment
If you're diagnosed with bruxism, treating this condition could also relieve TMJ symptoms. Depending on what's causing you to grind or clench your teeth, treatment could involve:
dental or orthodontic procedures to bring the teeth into alignment
trying to avoid stressful situations
wearing a bruxism mouthguard at night to stop your teeth from touching
Sleep apnoea treatment
If your TMD may be due to obstructive sleep apnoea, an overnight sleep study may be needed to diagnose the nature of the disorder and determine the most suitable treatment. This may include:
getting into a good night time routine
losing weight
avoiding alcohol
continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy
surgery to remove the airway obstruction
Surgery
Jaw surgery may be recommended for more chronic cases of TMD, but this is rare. Your surgeon will make sure you understand the risk of complications, so you can decide if this is the right option for you.
Surgery may also be needed to treat injuries to the jaw or joints that may be causing TMJ.

Forest invaders
Explorer policy reporter Gwendolyn Craig has reported plenty of news on invasive species this month — most of it unfortunate.
First came word of the long-expected confirmation of the emerald ash borer in the Adirondacks. That tree killer had long spread throughout the Midwest and East, and in recent years was chewing a circle around the park. Ash isn't the most abundant species in our high country, but it has cultural and economic significance as well as an ecological role. Gwen will explore all of that in a magazine piece later this year.
Then came confirmation of the park's second confirmed infestation of hemlock woolly adelgid in the park. Like the first, whose suppression I wrote about last winter, this one was around the edges of Lake George — this time on the east side. That pest is generally scarier to Adirondack ecologists, because hemlocks are relatively widespread and have an important influence on cooling the park's waters | eng | 54338521-7c29-4da2-8e7d-74e1d87a1f78 | https://www.adirondackalmanack.com/2020/08/forest-invaders.html |
Gestational Diabetes
Definition - What does Gestational Diabetes mean?
Gestational diabetes is usually a temporary form of diabetes that occurs in pregnant women, characterized by high blood glucose levels, serving as a physiological cue to divert carbohydrates from ingested food to the unborn baby. Women experience an upsurge of placental hormones during pregnancy, causing a deficit of insulin, which helps regulate the distribution of glucose in the blood at a healthy level.
SureHire explains Gestational Diabetes
A physician conducts testing for gestational diabetes between the 24-28 week interval, observing hormonal deviations and suggesting a course of action that covers insulin therapy, a diet and exercise regimen, and consistent monitoring of blood glucose levels for both the mother and baby. Although gestational diabetes generally ceases after delivery, many women are predisposed to developing type 2 diabetes mellitus later in life. Early treatment for gestational diabetes can help bypass health complications that can affect the mother and baby including abnormal birth weight, cesarean section delivery, or neonatal death.
During testing, physicians account for biological and physiological variables including women over the age of 35, being overweight, and a family history of diabetes, noting distinct symptoms related to gestational diabetes including fatigue, nausea, dehydration, and genitourinary infections. However, postnatal sessions are useful in determining if blood sugar levels remain elevated suggesting that women may be candidates for diabetes. The physician administers a sweet liquid preparation for the patient to consume, serving as a baseline criterion in measuring insulin production.
According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), federal laws stipulate that employers must provide reasonable accommodations tailored for individuals diagnosed with a medical condition. If gestational diabetes develops into chronic diabetes, women in the workplace will need to gauge their blood glucose levels where periodic insulin shots are mandatory. Employers are generally flexible in creating an environment that is conducive to individuals with disabilities in line with anti-discrimination regulations. | eng | e4fc0a8d-0959-485a-abfc-ade2cdbaa8dc | https://us.surehire.com/resources/dictionary/terms/?=Gestational%20Diabetes |

The figured chocolate is a kind of real sculpture, the details of which are clearly worked out, which makes it seem alive. Only specially trained people with real talent and patience can learn how to create such masterpieces.
Chocolate is a rather rare profession that is often a family tradition because few people know about it. Almost everyone loves to eat confectionery made from cocoa beans, and those who were lucky enough to try the original, natural chocolate are unlikely to remain indifferent to it. Chocolate from a chocolatier is an original dessert, after tasting which a person will feel not only real pleasure, but also emotions conveyed by the author of the product.
About work
Chocolate is a person who develops a unique recipe for chocolate sweets and makes them with his own hands. He must know all the intricacies of making chocolate: from growing cocoa beans to production technology, and be able to combine it with a variety of additives that will give the dessert an original aroma and taste.
Chocolate business has been actively developing since the 17th century. Then people only learned how to create solid chocolate bars of various shapes. When the wife of Louis XVI Marie Antoinette found out that chocolate can not only be drunk, but also made from it hard desserts, she ordered to bring a chocolate master to her, giving him a new position - a chocolatier.
Chocolate production reached the production level in the 19th century. After a short time, the profession of chocolatier became widespread. It should be noted that at all times the work of chocolate masters was very much appreciated, these sweets are classified as gourmet. Professionals in this business take part in international festivals and exhibitions. In many countries there are even museums of the history of the creation and development of chocolate.
Responsibilities and tasks in the work of the master
Chocolate is a true master of chocolate sweets, who uses only natural ingredients in his work, taking care of the quality of his products. That is why gourmets appreciate their work so highly.
The duties of chocolate masters may differ depending on the specific place of work. But the main tasks are the same:
raw material quality control;
Developing unique recipes by adding original toppings and additives;
creating a sketch of the shape of future masterpieces;
tasting the finished dish;
market research and self-development and more.
Where they teach chocolate business
Future magicians study at specialized chocolate academies. This education is not higher, but a diploma from such an academy will give you the opportunity to work in chocolate boutiques, and maybe even open your own business.
There are few such academies in Russia. Chocolatier in Moscow is trained at the Academy of Chocolate Design at the College of Confectionery Productions No. 51, as well as in Chekhov, at the Academy of Chocolate. Here, future wizards of their craft adopt knowledge and experience from leading Russian specialists.
In order for a person to accurately determine his future profession, chocolatier mastery courses are held annually in Nizhny Novgorod, St. Petersburg, Omsk, Rostov - in almost all major cities of Russia.
For a specialist in this field, only theoretical knowledge is not enough, the learning process must go in parallel with the acquisition of practical skills. And, of course, masters who have been trained as chocolatiers in Italy, Belgium and other countries of the world are appreciated.
Higher education: is there a need?
In order to be a successful chocolate master, it is not necessary to have a higher education. Moreover, in higher education institutions there is no program for training specialists of this kind. But, as you know, life is unpredictable, and therefore having a higher education in our time will only be a huge plus.
The profession of a chocolatier is related to food, so a related speci alty in this area is an engineer-technologist. Higher education can be obtained on the basis of such well-known institutions as:
St. PetersburgPeter the Great Polytechnic University (organization of restaurant business and product technology).
Ufa State Oil Technical University.
St. Petersburg National Research University of Optics, Information Technology, Mechanics.
Far Eastern Federal University.
Sevastopol State University and many others.
What personality traits should a chocolate master have?
First, a good chocolatier must be an artist. It is important for him not only to be able to portray the future masterpiece, but also to have imagination. It is necessary in order to be able to depict a sculpture that will be not only delicious, but also incredibly beautiful, attracting the views and attention of connoisseurs.
Secondly, the confectioner must have a keen sense of smell and an excellent eye. When creating new recipes, while mixing various additives and ingredients, the master must clearly feel how much and what he needs to add.
Thirdly, the activity of a confectioner requires physical endurance and good he alth from him. After all, not everyone will be able to be on their feet all day, and sometimes even the night.
Fourthly, this specialist must have great determination and perseverance. Without this, it will be difficult for him to realize his ideas, to make truly professional desserts.
Profession benefits
This is a fairly rare speci alty, manyeven considered as a hobby, but despite this, it is in demand in Russia. Professionals in this business can easily find work in any confectionery factory, in chocolate boutiques, or they will be able to realize themselves in their own business. It is worth noting that in the factories the chocolatier basically fills his hand. Feeling confident in themselves, they often open their own chocolate shop, which is quickly gaining popularity, bringing in a good income.
Earnings will depend on the level of skill and demand in a particular region for these products. The salary of a chocolate specialist is basically close to the average level of earnings. So in Moscow, a specialist working at a confectionery factory will earn from 40 to 60 thousand rubles.
Disadvantages of the profession
Handwork in general is always fun, but it can't be denied that it's also tiring. A typical working day will generally begin in the early morning and end in the late evening, closer to night. Working conditions are not easy, a person spends all day in a hot shop, on his feet, doing monotonous work.
Inexperienced specialists are forced to work in such conditions at the beginning of their professional activities in order to improve their skills, abilities and raise the level of mastery.
The owners of their own business have such a minus as the seasonality of demand for goods. Of course, there are also holidays when you have to work for days, but calms are not uncommon.
Chocolate culture, demand
Culturechocolate desserts is not just eating them, but also enjoying the form and appearance at the same time - all this is gradually becoming a habit among Russians. The demand for exclusive figured chocolate is growing every year. For the holidays, instead of banal flowers and postcards, many people give their loved ones interesting chocolate figurines.
Your chocolatier will be able to create a truly original gift. Of course, such a chocolate gift will not last as long as a bouquet of flowers, but the memories of it will be brighter, warmer and will remain in the memory of a person for a long time.
Chocolate figurines are a wonderful souvenir for employees or clients of the company. An interesting advertising solution would be to apply the company logo on such a figure. Often, a chocolatier is not just an author of ideas, but also an implementer of other people's ideas.
Features in the development of recipes and design of chocolate
Chocolate masters who have their own business are forced to constantly develop themselves and realize themselves in their business, find employee companies (for example, manufacturers of fillings, molds, wrappers, etc.).
In order to create truly delicious desserts, testing of finished products is most often arranged with the involvement of ordinary sweet lovers. These people choose desserts that they like not only in taste, but also in shape, color and smell.
Sometimes the chocolate shop receives requests from food companies. For example, a company producing various types of cheese may apply to develop a unique recipe for sweets with theirproducts.
A special event for the chocolatier is also taking part in international festivals, master classes, where not only competitions are held, but also the exchange of experience.
Strict rules or fantasy?
This profession is not strictly creative or technical. It can be compared to painting. Just moving a brush across a canvas is not creative, nor is redrawing a painting using technology. All created recipes and forms are uniquely subordinated to the specific properties of materials.
In order to create a composition or just make a drawing on it, you need to know everything about the plasticity of chocolate, the properties of the shapes used, the specifics of solidification, temperature and texture. Without this knowledge, all ideas will remain unfulfilled. | eng | 03609510-c4fb-4d4c-bc40-cbf91a7ae43e | https://techconfronts.com/17172726-the-profession-of-a-chocolatier-is-functions-nuances-work-performed |
How Long Does It Take To Renovate A Bathroom
If you're planning to renovate your bathroom, you might be wondering how long the process will take. The answer depends on a number of factors, including the size of your bathroom, the extent of the renovation, and whether you're doing the work yourself or hiring a contractor. In general, a simple bathroom renovation can be completed in a few days, while a more extensive renovation may take several weeks.
If you're doing the work yourself, you'll need to factor in the time it will take to complete the work, as well as the time it will take to purchase the necessary materials. If you're hiring a contractor, they will likely be able to give you a more accurate timeline for the project. Either way, it's important to plan for some flexibility in your schedule, as unexpected delays can always occur.
Once you've started the renovation process, it's important to take the time to do things right. rushing through the work can lead to subpar results and may even cause damage to your bathroom. So, even though it may take a little longer than you initially anticipated, it's worth taking your time to ensure that the end result is something you're happy with.
If you're planning to renovate your bathroom, you might be wondering how long the process will take. The answer depends on a few factors, including the size of your bathroom, the scope of the renovation, and whether you're doing the work yourself or hiring a contractor.
For a small bathroom, a simple renovation might only take a weekend.
But if you're planning something more extensive, like tearing out old tile or installing new fixtures, it could take several weeks or even months.
If you're doing the work yourself, you can obviously control the timeline to some extent. But even if you're hiring a contractor, you can still expect the process to take at least a few weeks.
So, if you're planning a bathroom renovation, be prepared for it to take some time. But in the end, it will be worth it when you have a beautiful new space to enjoy.

Can a cavity go away on its own? Here is what you need to know.
Cavities, those tiny holes in your teeth, are a common dental woe that almost everyone encounters at some point in their lives. You might be wondering, can a cavity go away on its own? The short answer is no, but there's more to the story. In this blog post, we'll explore the intricacies of cavities, their causes, and the essential prevention measures you can take to keep your teeth healthy.
Understanding Cavities
A cavity, also known as dental caries or tooth decay, is a localized area of damage to the hard tissues of your teeth. It's primarily caused by a complex interaction between oral bacteria, sugary or starchy foods, and time. When you consume these foods, they feed the bacteria in your mouth, which then produce acid. This acid attacks your tooth enamel, causing it to weaken and, eventually, form a cavity.
Once a cavity forms, it cannot heal on its own. Unlike some minor cuts and bruises on your skin, your teeth lack the regenerative capabilities to repair themselves. Once the enamel is damaged, the process is irreversible, and the cavity will only worsen if left untreated.
Prevention is Key
While cavities may not magically disappear, you can take proactive steps to prevent them. Here are some crucial prevention measures:
Oral Hygiene: Proper oral hygiene is your first line of defense against cavities. Brush your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride or hydroxyapatite toothpaste and floss daily to remove food particles and plaque, which can lead to cavities.
Balanced Diet: Limit your consumption of sugary and starchy foods, as they provide fuel for cavity-causing bacteria. Opt for a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Fluoride or Hydroxyapatite: Fluoride & Hydroxyapatite are two clinically proven ingredients often found in toothpaste as they help to strengthen the enamel.
Regular Dental Check-ups: Regular visits to your dentist are essential for cavity prevention. They can spot early signs of cavities and provide professional cleanings and fluoride treatments.
Dental Sealants: Dental sealants are thin protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your back teeth. They provide an extra layer of defense against cavities.
Avoid Tobacco and Excessive Alcohol: Tobacco and excessive alcohol consumption can increase the risk of cavities and other dental problems.
Education: Educate yourself and your family about good oral hygiene practices. The more you know, the better equipped you are to prevent cavities.
The Role of Early Detection
Even with all these preventive measures, sometimes cavities can still develop. Early detection is crucial because it allows for timely treatment. Routine dental check-ups can catch cavities when they're small and easily treatable. If left untreated, they can progress to a point where more invasive procedures like fillings or root canals are necessary.
In conclusion, cavities don't go away on their own. Prevention is the key to maintaining a cavity-free smile. By practicing good oral hygiene, making healthy dietary choices, and visiting your dentist regularly, you can significantly reduce the risk of cavities. Remember, it's always & far less expensive to prevent a cavity than to treat one, so take care of your teeth, and they will reward you with a lifetime of smiles. | eng | 28309230-90e1-48f1-b715-41629852f8e9 | https://www.keekooralcare.com/blogs/news/can-a-cavity-go-away-on-its-own-here-is-what-you-need-to-know |
