World Physical Therapy / Physiotherapy Day 2023
Each year, the world observes World Physical Therapy Day on September 8th. The day provides a platform for physiotherapists from around the world. This helps them in promoting consciousness about the role that their profession plays.
Physiotherapy aims to restore, preserve, and maximize a patient's movements, activity, and well-being. Physical therapy, prevention of injury, and fitness are all benefits of physiotherapy. Physiotherapists engage you in your healing. Physiotherapy helps in ensuring that individuals remain active and accessible.
The World Confederation of Physical Therapy declared September 8th as World Physical Therapy Day in 1996. WCPT is currently known as World Physiotherapy.
World Physiotherapy Day celebrates the global physiotherapy community's togetherness and solidarity. It is a chance to recognize the efforts of physiotherapists toward their patients.
World Physiotherapy helps member organizations popularize the discipline and enhance their competence. It does so by focusing on World PT Day.
The theme for World Physical Therapy Day 2023 is osteoarthritis. A more comprehensive theme is the role of physiotherapists in their management and prevention. Other rheumatological disorders will be the focus in 2023.
The following major messages are crucial to the campaign
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most prevalent joint ailment. It affects 520 million individuals worldwide, with knee OA accounting for 60% of all OA cases.
Hip and knee OA is the 11th leading cause of disability in a worldwide review of 291 disorders.
The precise etiology of OA is unknown. Risk factors for OA include being overweight or obese or having a history of joint injury or surgery. Having a past of joint overuse and heredity also poses a grave risk.
Exercising is the first-line therapy for osteoarthritis. A physiotherapist can offer guidance and education on pain reduction and OA management. They can educate persons with OA on how or when to enhance joint mobility and muscle strength.
People suffering from OA should stay as active as possible. This aids with pain relief and reduces other OA symptoms. It also allows individuals to remain independent.
Only around one-third of persons with OA will worsen with time. Others will notice a reduction in pain and impairment. So a physiotherapist can tell you how to stay active.
World Physiotherapy invites member organizations and physiotherapists worldwide. Also it urges them to use the World Physiotherapy toolbox. So the toolbox helps in communicating these ideas to the general public and governments. World Physical Therapy Day influences physiotherapy's credibility.
Additionally, Many member organizations of World Physiotherapy have their national physiotherapy months. But, organizations that do not have their designated day choose September 8th.
Moreover, Physiotherapists and World Physiotherapy members must pick which activities and materials to develop. Also this allows them to represent critical national goals and messages. So, World Physiotherapy offers suggestions, advertising, and support resources annually | eng | 3a1f8ab3-bc0c-4a03-86db-47d9f392a519 | https://www.newhopephysio.com/blog/world-physical-therapy-day-2023 |

Quite frankly, I think it's stupid, and the "documentation" is not a benefit, it's just wrong.
How would you figure out whether your added "documentation" holds true for particular branches but not others?
How could you *ever* trust a compiler that makes the dependency meaningful?
Again, let's keep this simple and sane:
- if a compiler ever generates code where an atomic store movement is "visible" in any way, then that compiler is broken shit.
I don't understand why you even argue this. Seriously, Paul, you seem to *want* to think that "broken shit" is acceptable, and that we should then add magic markers to say "now you need to *not* be broken shit".
Here's a magic marker for you: DON'T USE THAT BROKEN COMPILER.
And if a compiler can *prove* that whatever code movement it does cannot make a difference, then let it do so. No amount of "documentation" should matter.
Seriously, this whole discussion has been completely moronic. I don't understand why you even bring shit like this up:
I mean, really? Anybody who writes code like that, or any compiler where that "control_dependency()" marker makes any difference what-so-ever for code generation should just be retroactively aborted.
There is absolutely *zero* reason for that "control_dependency()" crap. If you ever find a reason for it, it is either because the compiler is buggy, or because the standard is so shit that we should never *ever* use the atomics.
Seriously. This thread has devolved into some kind of "just what kind of idiotic compiler cesspool crap could we accept". Get away from that f*cking mindset. We don't accept *any* crap.
Why are we still discussing this idiocy? It's irrelevant. If the standard really allows random store speculation, the standard doesn't matter, and sane people shouldn't waste their time arguing about it. | eng | 653000d3-951b-4215-875d-af10f252075b | https://www.lkml.org/lkml/2014/2/14/492 |

6th grade class of the Joliot-Curie-Gymnasium Görlitz at DeltaX student laboratory of the HZDR
Görlitz class visits DeltaX school laboratory
At the event "oha! Abenteuer Wissenschaft" (Gosh! The Adventure of Science) last year, scientific institutions in Görlitz and Zittau presented their exciting research to the public. Of course, the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) was also there. Despite rainy weather, the Scultetus meeting place at the Untermarkt in Görlitz was crowded – by the way, also with a very young audience. For them, there was a stamp rally with prizes at the event. CASUS awarded the organization of a class trip to the school laboratory DeltaX at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR). Now it was time to redeem the prize: The winner took his entire class on a quest for light and color.
Directly from Görlitz to Rossendorf to the student laboratory: It could hardly be faster than by bus. After getting off, the 27 young people from a 6th grade class at the Joliot-Curie-Gymnasium in Görlitz got right down to the experiments. The topic of the day were light sources, vision and color mixing. LED boxes, color gyroscopes and spectroscopes were used, for example, to investigate how colors are seen. After four hours of hands-on science, a lunch break and the return trip, the unusual school day ended at 3 p.m. back in Görlitz. "It was an all-around successful day and certainly an experience for the class," said class and physics teacher Toni Marquardt. "Everyone was focused and everyone experienced and learned something new."
DeltaX brings natural sciences and research to life through exciting experiments and a real research atmosphere. The experiment days offer a variety of experiments that are thematically based on the curriculum and prepared in an age-appropriate format. The offer itself is free of charge, but not the trip to and from the venue, which is very difficult to organize, especially from the Görlitz area.
The Scultetus Center, which is affiliated with CASUS, is intended to be a scientific meeting place for the three-country region. The concept focuses on promoting the exchange of scientists. Nevertheless, certain Scultetus events are also intended to address school students. | eng | 0db4860b-e222-4fd2-bf67-ec8be6abf471 | https://www.casus.science/news/casus-news/klassenfahrt-mit-oha-effekt/ |

Methane threat
Published 29 May 2013
From William Hughes-Games
The possible localised sea level fall in the vicinity of the melting Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets has an interesting implication (4 May, p 36). The article says that sea level may fall dramatically in those regions, while rising elsewhere.
Both marine environments are very rich in biological activity, so it would be reasonable to assume clathrates – icy lattices which trap methane – have been accumulating on the seabed below about 200 metres. If sea level does indeed drop as described, presumably the upper few metres of clathrate will release its methane. | eng | f719c5d4-375c-46a8-b388-861d0c8ed014 | https://www.newscientist.com/letter/mg21829191-500-methane-threat/ |
Why Does My Cat Slap Me With His Tail?
Why Does My Cat Slap Me With His Tail: Felines are known for their sudden and unpredictable movements. Sometimes, they can be playful and friendly. Other times, they can be aggressive or defensive. It can be difficult to tell what your cat is trying to say with his tail, but you can probably find some common feline body language signs to decipher. Ear and Tail Positioning: Stance
There are two types of stances when it comes to feline body language, and they both can tell you something about the attitude of your cat. When your cat holds his ears back in an aggressive stance and his tail curled underneath his body,
The tail slap is a form of communication between cats
Cats are experts at communicating, and one way they do this is through tail-slapping. However, you may be surprised to find out the reason why cats slap their tails. What You Can Learn About Cat Behavior From Cat Tail-Slapping Most of the time, tail-slapping by cats is used as a form of communication. Cats will often tail-slap their victims before attacking them. Other times, cats will signal to another cat by flicking their tails in a rhythmic fashion. This is one way for cats to communicate their happiness to another cat. Is Tail-Slapping Caused By Stress?
It's usually a friendly gesture
Cats are often friendly and playful, and when they want to play, they'll usually swipe at their owners with their paws. However, it's not always a sign of love. Cats also use their paws to send a sign of irritation, which means they may swat at you if they want you to stop what you're doing or leave them alone. Cat lovers around the world were deeply saddened when Princess Diana passed away in 1997. The Royal family still had pets to love, but without their beloved Diana, the animals were in desperate need of affection and comfort. When the Queen went to check on her beloved pets, she was very shocked to see them all standing in a row in the middle of the room. The Queen was touched by their devotion and knew that Diana would have done the same for them.
Cats may slap each other with their tails to show dominance
We all know how cats can be pretty territorial and they may feel the need to assert their dominance over other animals in their household. But did you know that cats also use their tails as weapons? A cat will twitch its tail, swipe at or thump a rival on the rump. To show the world they're still around You might think that your cat is merely showing off with their incredible balancing skills but it's actually all part of their master plan. By balancing precariously on top of something (or someone), cats can show the world that they're still around and that they aren't planning on going anywhere.
To show the world they're still around You might think that your cat is merely showing off with their incredible balancing skills but it's actually all part of their master plan.
Some cats also use the tail slap to warn of danger
You're walking down the street when a friendly-looking cat comes up to you and gives you a tail slap. You might be surprised that this friendly gesture is actually a warning sign of a potential predator nearby.
When a cat puffs out its tail like a bottle brush, it's giving you a heads up that there's a "bigger" cat nearby, or possibly something more dangerous. The tail is an extension of the spinal cord and when the cat raises its tail, it's actually sending messages to the brain. In this case, the message is saying there's danger or a more dominant cat nearby.
The height of the cat's tail and how fast it slaps against your leg tell you a lot about the cat's size, energy level, and intentions. A small tail on a large cat is a warning sign of a dominant cat nearby; a large tail on a small cat means there's a smaller cat nearby.
The tail slap also serves as a distraction tactic
Many cats love to slap their tails against the ground in order to make a startling noise. This can be a way for them to ward off predators or even to distract their humans from catching them doing something they shouldn't be doing. Sometimes cats will even slap their tails against the ground while they are getting a nice belly rub from their owner. This can be something that they do simply because it feels good to them or it can also be something that they do to make sure that they stay on their owner's mind. Cats can be a little sneaky when it comes to getting attention, and slapping their tails against the ground is often an effective way for them to get their owners to scratch that little spot that they know feels good.
Cat's tail is an amazing tool that they use to communicate with their owner. When a cat is being particularly affectionate toward its owner, the tips of its tails may start to move in a specific way.
Cats may also slap their owners with their tails to get them off the table
Are you the type of person who loves to hang out with your cat at your kitchen table? Well, if so, don't be too surprised if your cat slaps you with its tail. I know what you're thinking: "Tails aren't hands, so how can a cat slap you with its tail? " And to this, I say: Show me a species of any size that doesn't use their body parts in ways other than the way they are intended to be used. [JAC: John Holt on tail use in mice: "I have myself, caught a mouse with my paw (on a live trap) by standing on it until it gave up the struggle.
Keep an eye on your cat to see if they're trying to tell you something
Have you ever wondered why your cat slaps you with his tail? You're not alone! There are many guesses as to why cats do this, but the most popular hypothesis is that they're trying to communicate with their owners. We don't like to judge here at PetsLady, but some people are lousy communicators. Have you ever tried communicating with someone who has no desire to listen? Well, cats must have this problem too because they're always looking for new ways to get their point across.
After all, the other thing a cat can do with his tail is batted it around and try to hit you,
so why not evolve that into something more productive?
The tail slap is a form of play
You may have noticed your cat slapping you with his tail and wondered why. This is a form of play for your kitty, but you'll never guess the reason why.
If you've ever been to the vet's office, and they have to give your cat an injection,
this can be traumatic for your kitty. That's because he knows that when he gets injections he won't like it. But is there something he can do to try and avoid this?
Synopsis of Why Does My Cat Slap Me With His Tail?
Your cat is nearby. Suddenly, the cat appears to change its mind and slaps you in the face. Your cat's tail moves about randomly. You can tell that your cat's body is tense. It appears that the cat does not know what to do next. The cat's tail starts to go up and down. You wonder why your cat did this. The cat runs away.

Stress & Sleep Apnea
Scientists have known for a while that having one health problem may be a sign that you may have other health problems as well. The concept of interconnectedness applies to both body and mind.
As you probably know, a negative emotional state like sadness, anger, or anxiety can trigger physical problems and even disease. And the reverse is also true in that suffering from a physical condition can negatively affect your mood and psychological health.
This is especially important when it comes to basic body functions, such as being able to get a good rest at night. Sleep disturbances can pose serious health problems, ranging from obesity to cardiovascular disease. At the same time, there scientists have found a direct link between these disorders, higher stress levels, and mood disorders.
Let's look at the research
OSA is a potentially dangerous condition that can increase the risk of developing life-threatening diseases or premature death. In the past, research on this condition mainly focused on its effects on physical health. In the 2012 study, the focus was on how OSA contributes to negative emotional states. The findings suggested that severe OSA was correlated with depression and anxiety, and also that the connection was stronger in females than in males.
Other studies have found a link between the severity of anxiety disorders and people's ability to rest well at night. This is the case of people who suffer from PTSD, and is even more evident in people with both anxiety and apnea, since their symptoms are more intense.
Even more evidence of this connection was found when researchers compared healthcare data belonging to 4 million veterans. When patient records were compared, researchers found that more than 20% of veterans diagnosed with apnea also suffered from depression. There were similar findings for anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorders, which were also present in significant numbers among veterans with apnea.
Complicated problem — but there are answers
Although the nature of the relationship between these two conditions isn't 100% clear, neuroscientists now know that sleep deprivation causes increased activity levels in the parts of the brain that trigger anxiety and that regulate emotions.
Another interesting finding is that people who have a natural tendency to worry or be anxious find it harder to cope with the effects of insufficient rest.
But this also has a positive side: people who are stressed or affected by anxiety can experience an improvement in their symptoms when they get a good night's rest. This reinforces something we have known for quite a while: that being well- rested is crucial to our mental health. If you often have restless nights and are struggling with anxiety, you will want to know what you can do to improve the situation.
Talk to a Millenium doctor
A simple sleep test done in your own home may find the cause is obstructive sleep apnea. If so, the recommended treatment could be form of CPAP therapy using a flow of air to keep your airway open. Treatment could also be an oral appliance, similar to a mouth guard, that hold the jaw (mandible) forward to maintain an open airway. Both reduce the number of breathing interruptions and helping you rest better.
Additional Options and Tips
On the other hand, if the cause is an underlying mood disorder, you may find that cognitive behavioural therapy will help. This involves several appointments with a therapist who will show you how to identity your main triggers, as well as useful coping skills and stress management techniques. Once you have more control over your negative emotions, you will be more likely to rest soundly at night.
In addition to that, there are other things you can do on your own to give your body and mind the quality rest they need to stay healthy. One of those things is meditation, which comes in really handy for apnea sufferers given its focus on controlled breathing.
Exercising regularly is another thing that can help both apnea and anxiety sufferers. Whether it's yoga or walking, exercise will bring your stress levels down. And a consistent exercise routine can also reduce your apnea symptoms.
As you can see, there are many tools available to ensure you are in optimal mental and physical health.

How Much Does Diesel Weigh? (All Diesel Types, Factors)
Gross vehicle weight is regulated by both state and federal law on the highways, so trucks and commercial vehicles are subject to inspection at weigh stations.A key factor for many vehicle operators in complying with such laws is calculating their fuel weight.
How much does a gallon of diesel weigh? A gallon of diesel weighs 7 pounds on average; however, this can vary because of the weather, the fuel grade, and the cetane rating of your diesel fuel.
While the differences might seem minor, this adds up quickly in large rigs with tanks that hold anywhere from 100 to 300 gallons of fuel. In this article, we will review the factors that contribute to diesel's overall weight.
The Average Weight of Diesel Types
The three main classes of diesel are number 1 (1-D), number 2 (2-D), and number 4 (4-D) with differing viscosities and pour points.The main standard for diesel fuel oils in the United States is ASTM D975, while the European Union and many other nations go by EN 590.
#1 Diesel (1-D)
Number 1 diesel is used primarily for cold weather conditions and has a lower viscosity. It is ALSO chemically very similar to kerosene. The Engineering ToolBox reports the density of number 1 diesel at 54.6 lb/ft3 at 59°F (15°C). Converted to pounds per gallon, that comes to about 7.3 pounds per gallon—a little higher than number 2 diesel (source).
#2 Diesel (2-D)
The most common form of diesel for normal and warm weather conditions is number 2 diesel, which has a higher viscosity than number 1 diesel.
The density of 2-D diesel is reported at 53 lb/ft3 or 7.09 pounds per gallon at 59°F, but standards have been moving closer to those of the European Union EN 590 as of late in parts of the US.
In the New England and the Mid-Atlantic States, a gallon of number 2 diesel fuel now weighs between 6.96 lbs and 6.91 lbs within the room temperature range of 59°F to 76°F. At colder temperatures like 32°F, a gallon of diesel will weigh about 7.05 lbs.
Diesel expands in warm weather and at very high temperatures like 110°F, a gallon of diesel will weigh about 6.8 lbs. These numbers are based on an average density of 51.84 lb/ft3 for diesel, reported by AVCalc LLC, a company based in New Jersey (source).
EN 590
The European Standards Organization (CEN) requires the density of diesel to fall within a certain range. The current standard, EN 590, was introduced in 2005.
At 59°F (15°C) the required range is 820 kg/m3 (51.19 lb/ft3) to 845 kg/m3 (52.75 lb/ft3), or an average of 51.97 lb/ft3. That converts to a range of 6.84 to 7.05 lbs per gallon or an average of 6.945 lbs (source).
#4 Diesel (4-D)
Number 4 diesel is for low-speed and medium-speed engines that run at a relatively constant speed. This includes railroad locomotives and power generators in plants. Number 4 diesel has a higher density of 59.9 lb/ft3 or 8 pounds per gallon.
Biodiesel B5
Biodiesel B5 is composed of 5% biodiesel and 95% regular diesel. Not to be confused with renewable diesel or green diesel, biodiesel is regulated by the ASTM D6571 standard.
B5 is the only type of biodiesel fuel that doesn't violate manufacturer's warrantees, though most engines can run on blends of up to 30%. B100 or 100 percent biodiesel has a density of 7.3 pounds per gallon at 59.9°F (15.5°C) and a specific gravity of 0.88 (source).
Marine Diesel Fuel
There are marine diesel engines that operate on diesel fuel, and there used to be a separate ASTM standard for these known a D2069 before it was withdrawn. D2069 listed DMX, DMA, DMB, DMC, and residual fuels, but there are marine diesel engines that use number 2 diesel (source).
The Cetane Number
Hexadecene (C16H32) or cetane is a highly viscous alkene used in diesel, and the cetane level of diesel is closely related to its overall weight.
The minimum cetane number in Europe is much higher at CN 51 than in America, where the ASTM D975 standard requires a minimum cetane rating of only CN 40 for number 1 and number 2 diesel.
The typical cetane number found in most states is around CN 42 to CN 45, although in New England and the Mid-Atlantic states this has been raised to CN 50 by the Ozone Transport Commission. California requires that diesel have a minimum cetane rating of 53.
API Gravity and Specific Gravity
The ASTM D287 standard measures API gravity, a standard established by the American Petroleum Institute to determine the weight of petroleum relative to water. This also directly correlates with the energy level of diesel; the higher the API, the lower the energy.
The specific gravity is inversely related to API gravity, meaning that the higher the specific gravity, the higher the energy. The ASTM API limit range for number 2 diesel is 30 to 45 or a specific gravity range of 0.876 to 0.802 (source).
The specific gravity of diesel fuels can range from a low of 0.81 to a high of 0.96 at 60°F (source).
Higher Cetane Reduces Weight
The specific gravity of a liquid can be multiplied by the density of water in pounds per gallon at 60°F, which is 8.328 pounds/US gallon, to determine the weight of that liquid in pounds per gallon (source).
The agricultural supply cooperative Gromark, in Illinois, reports that standard number 2 diesel fuel usually has an API gravity between 32 and 34, which converts to a specific gravity of 0.8654 to 0.855 (source).
This produces a range of 7.21 lbs to 7.12 lbs for standard number 2 diesel.
A higher cetane number results in higher API gravity and lower density in fuel when achieved through the refining process.
High cetane fuel has a rating of 36 to 38 or a specific gravity of .8448 to .8348. In this case, the higher cetane number actually means fewer BTUs, less horsepower, and less fuel economy. It does, however, produce a lower weight range of 7.04 lbs to 6.95 lbs.
Is a Canadian Gallon Heavier than a US Gallon?
While a number of websites report that a Canadian gallon is greater than a US gallon, Canada began to move away from the Imperial system of measurement to the metric system in 1970.
Instead of measuring fuel in gallons, they have fuel listed in liters. There are about 3.78 liters to a US gallon, and 1 liter of diesel weighs about 1.83 lbs.
There were Canadians who resisted the conversion to the metric system and still used the Imperial gallon for many years after.
A US gallon is smaller than an Imperial gallon, which has caused a great deal of confusion along the border. A US gallon would only make up 0.86 Imperial gallons, and an Imperial gallon would make about 1.20 US gallons.
It's still possible that you might run across a gas station in Canada that lists prices in gallons, but it will be hard to know offhand if they're referring to Imperial gallons or US gallons. It would make sense for a business-savvy station along the US-Canada border to list prices per US gallon.
If you're not careful, though, you could be taking on more weight than you intended if they're using Imperial gallons. The weight of an Imperial gallon of diesel with an average density of 51.84 lb/ft3would be 8.29 lbs. At 100 gallons, that could be a difference of 133 lbs!
Just because the prices are higher in Canada doesn't mean you're getting more fuel either. Taxes on fuel are much higher in Canada than in the United States.
Fuel standards in Canada are determined by the Middle Distillates Committee of the Canadian General Standards Board. These tend to favor the European EN 590 standard and the higher cetane number.
With a higher cetane number, the weight of a US gallon of Canadian diesel will probably weigh less than a US gallon of standard number 2 diesel with a cetane rating of 42-45.
What do 100 Gallons of Diesel Weigh?
The most common rule of thumb for truck drivers is to estimate their fuel weight at 7 lbs per gallon. For example, a tank carrying 100 gallons of fuel would contribute about 700 lbs to the truck's overall weight.
The number would be fairly accurate for number 2 diesel, but number 1 diesel at 7.3 lbs per gallon would be closer to 730 lbs. That extra 30 lbs could be the difference that determines whether or not you get a ticket.
Weight Limits & Fuel Capacity
Since 1974, Federal weight limits have included a gross vehicle weight of 80,000 lbs, a single-axle weight of 20,000 lbs, and a tandem axle weight of 35,000 lbs (source). Depending on the state, any vehicle weighing over 10,000 lbs may have to go through weigh stations.
Class 3 & 4
While you do not have to have a CDL to operate anything under a class 5 truck, these vehicles do weigh over 10,000 lbs and may be required to check-in at weigh stations.
Class 4 trucks can weigh between 14,001 and 16,000 lbs, and these box trucks are commonly used as delivery trucks (source). With a fuel capacity range of 20 to 40 gallons, you're looking at a typical fuel weight when full of 140 to 280 lbs.
Class 5-7 Trucks
Class 5 trucks have 2 axles and 6 tires, a class 6 truck has 3 axles, and a class 7 can have 4 or more axles. They have a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) range of 16,001 to 19,500 lbs, 19,501 to 26,000 lbs, and 26,001 to 33,000 lbs respectively.
Buses
In most states, busses are not required to go through weigh stations. But in some states, like Pennsylvania and California, they do (source).
A coach is a type of bus used for intercity transportation, while transit buses tend to be regional or intra-city. The most well-known example in the US is the Greyhound bus. Greyhounds have a fuel capacity ranging from 185 to 220 gallons.
Ninety-four percent of school busses use diesel, and a school bus can carry between 60 and 100 gallons of fuel (source).
School bus weight limits vary by type. Type A1 is less than 10,000 lbs while A2 can be over 10,000 lbs. Types B and C are over 10,000 lbs with most Type C buses between 23,500 and 29,500 lbs. Lastly, type D buses are between 25,000 and 36,000 lbs (source).
Class 8 Trucks
Supply chains throughout the country—especially in the wholesale, manufacturing, and construction sectors of the economy—rely heavily on tractor-trailer truck drivers (source).
Class 8 trucks are above 33,000 lbs, and they are the most common vehicles used for commercial trucking. Class 8 diesel trucks usually carry saddle tanks, which are two fuel tanks mounted on either side of the truck for balance.
The most common loadout for a long-haul truck is two 125 gallon tanks for a total fuel capacity of 250 gallons. Some trucks have two 150 gallons tanks for a total of 300 gallons and, although rarer, some trucks can carry over 300 gallons.
A long-haul truck with a 250-gallon capacity could be carrying as much as 1,750 lbs of fuel to 1,825 lbs. With a capacity of 300 gallons, that would be 2,100 lbs to 2,190 lbs.
Truckers like to have about 31,000 lbs on their drive axle to give them 3,000 lbs to spare. That's more than enough for rigs with tanks that hold under 300 gallons.
The most common setup is 12,000 lbs on the steering axle and 34,000 lbs on two separate tandem axles for a total overall weight of 80,000 lbs.
On the classic trucks with a sloping nose, the fuel tanks are shifted more toward the steering axle under the cab doors and will distribute their weight there. On long-hood trucks, the tanks are further back and the weight will tend to be more on the drive axles.
Low-Sulfur Diesel
Sulfur has a comparatively high specific gravity at 68°F (20°C) between 2.07 and 1.97, meaning that the lower sulfur levels also contribute to the decreasing weight of diesel.
Both number 1 and number 2 diesel come in S15, S500, and S5000 variants with the number representing the sulfur level in parts per million (ppm). As environmental concerns have grown, the higher-sulfur variants are being phased out.
Number 2 S500 low-sulfur diesel was in use on highways before 2006. S500 continued to be used off-road until 2014. After 2014, Number 2 S15 ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) became the standard (source).
Red and Green Diesel
Red diesel is intended for off-road use, mainly in tractors, off-road equipment, or as home-heating oil. Red diesel is dyed red in order to distinguish it from regular diesel since red diesel is not legal on the road and is not taxed like regular diesel.
Green diesel or renewable diesel is "green" in the sense that it is clean, renewable, and environmentally friendly. Green diesel is produced from non-fossil resources and its chemical structure differs from methyl-ester biodiesel (source).
Green diesel has very little sulfur and has an even higher cetane level than ultra-low sulfur diesel (source). Honeywell International, with its headquarters in North Carolina, boasts that its green diesel has a cetane rating between 75 and 90 and sulfur level less than 2 ppm (source).
Natural Gas Alternatives
The price of natural gas is much lower than that of oil-based gases, and companies like Shell are interested in the possibility of converting natural gas into diesel to make healthy profits (source).
While gas-to-liquids plants are expensive to build, access to an adequate supply of natural gas can make the investment more attractive.
The largest gas-to-liquid plant is owned by Shell and Qatar Petroleum. Pearl GTL is projected to produce the equivalent of 3 billion barrels of oil over its lifespan from the North Field of the Arabian Gulf (source).
Other companies are experimenting with using compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquid natural gas (LNG) as replacements for diesel fuel. Currently, these alternatives are still not as fuel-efficient as diesel with a gallon of diesel producing the same energy as 1.7 gallons of LNG (source).
Compressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) are used in specialized natural gas vehicles or NGVs. Over 130,000 NGVs are on the road today (source).
Compressed natural gas is lighter than air, being composed of high levels of methane. Liquefied natural gas is cooled to liquid form in order to reduce its volume and increase the amount of fuel a vehicle can hold. As a result, LNG fuel is preferred for heavy-duty NGV trucking.
Final Thoughts
As the requirements for diesel are being raised due to environmental concerns, the weight of diesel per gallon has decreased to a little less than 7 lbs at 6.94 lbs. In areas that still use a lower cetane rating or have higher levels of sulfur, diesel will weigh a little more at 7.09 to 7.30 lbs per gallon.
The common rule of thumb for truck drivers of calculating fuel weight at 7 pounds per gallon still holds true for the most part. In colder weather conditions, it would be wise to calculate the weight as a little over 7 lbs per gallon, especially if the diesel you're using has a cetane number below 50 | eng | 759f692b-5c89-4c03-9689-3af9431ea49e | https://www.gizmoplans.com/how-much-does-diesel-weigh/ |

It's Up to Us! Inspiring Youth through Work-Based Learning
How many times have you asked, or heard a young person in your family ask, "Why do I have to know this? I'll never use this _____ (fill in the blank)."
I had the same thought when I was a student. Perhaps you did as well. Even today, I hear similar comments from my students and the youth in my family. However, as many adults know, you actually DO use many things in your work that seemed useless while you were in school. Many of those concepts and skills are crucial for success in today's jobs. So how do we bridge the apparent gap between classroom learning and the skills needed in high-demand, high-quality jobs?
One important initiative gaining momentum across the nation, and across Kansas, is commonly referred to as "work-based learning."
Work-based learning serves as a bridge between academics and real-world application of knowledge and skills. Students are expected to learn a concept and apply the concept in an authentic or real-world way. These real-world projects may be focused on a community need, a challenge from a local business or industry, or a project for a nonprofit organization. The overarching idea is that true learning occurs when students "do something" or apply the concepts they are learning in an authentic "real-world" manner.
In addition to understanding how knowledge and skills are used in careers, students learn essential workplace abilities such as critical thinking, teamwork, problem solving, project management, leadership and agility.
Generally, work-based learning is structured on a continuum that includes awareness, exploration and preparation experiences, combined with an individual's interests, aspirations and goals. The continuum includes supporting activities and career-specific work-based learning activities.
Imagine how conversations with your kids will change when they are engaged in the type of career-connected learning that work-based learning experiences provide. In my family, it's changed the conversation from simple "go to college" to deeper conversations about the skills, certifications, and degrees required to advance in a given career path. Perhaps even more importantly, these conversations have evolved into talking about possible careers and how they align to the individual's talents, aspirations and goals. Now, we are discussing how the puzzle pieces might fit together to achieve the best path forward for each child (technical college, apprenticeship and training, two or four-year college or university).
Like most things in life, quality work-based learning initiatives require partnerships, in this case between K-12 education, community and technical colleges, workforce development agencies, and business and industry. However, families are the most important partners. It's our role as parents, guardians and other mentors in a family to advocate and encourage the young people in our lives to bridge the gap between what they're learning in school and what they'll be doing the rest of their lives in the workforce.
Advocate for work-based learning to be part of your child's individual plan of study (IPS) in high school. (The IPS is like a GPS system, connecting the dots between aspirations, academic courses and real-world learning experiences.)
Encourage your student to work with their counselors, career and technical education or advisory teachers to connect them to real-world experiences before they graduate from high school.
Experiences such as project-based learning, internships, courses for credit, industry-recognized certifications and job shadowing are great ways to inspire students and set them on a path to post-secondary success. It's up to us!

Why are they only testing if you've been to certain countries when it's already here?

Just that really.
We all have dry coughs, dd also has blocked (not runny) nose and sore throat. Can't get through to speak to anyone on 111. They're not interested unless you've been to certain countries or in contact with someone who has.
Yet we already have 2 confirmed cases nearby 🤷🏻♀️
Yes, we may not have it but there may be others like us who do.
Is is that they're so relaxed about as they're expecting most cases to be mild? I can't help thinking that this is definitely going to get out of hand if they don't get a grip on it soon.
No idea but agree as it is already here then you (speaking in the generalist of terms there) may have it, especially as some cases who were tested were asymptomatic. I could understand if they were only testing those with the most severe of symptoms (as I believe italy are planning from now on?) But my understanding is they are testing any level of symptom severity if you have been in a hotspot. 🤷♀️
I'd like to know the answer to this too? There's a lab right here in the UK producing these:
"Randoxhas developed a rapid test for COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), the new strain of coronavirus.
The only test in the world that can identify the lethal strain and differentiate between other non-lethal variants with the same symptoms, from one sample.
The new test utilises Randox Biochip Technology, reporting 540 results in less than 5 hours on theRandox Evidence Investigator, a semi-automated analyser that is capable of processing 54 patient samples simultaneously."
You'd think the NHS would be stocking up on these, and screening anyone with even mild symptoms. | eng | e27bed39-2d3c-4e37-afb0-9bcdfa9b35bf | https://www.mumsnet.com/talk/coronavirus/3841932-Why-are-they-only-testing-if-you-ve-been-to-certain-countries-when-it-s-already-here |
ISSUES ON THE HALAL FOOD: INGREDIENTS AND PRODUCTION
Share This Post
Author :
Mufti Fahad Ahmed Qureshi, Shariah Scholar
For a food to be halal for consumption there is need to ensure that the food is halal all through the food supply chain and this is not an easy process. Starting from the raw materials, meat and meat related ingredients have always received the biggest attention. Contrary to general believe halal is not just pork free. It also includes the by-product of pork. Other animals that are not halal include carnivorous animals, birds of prey and land animals without external ears. Halal animals and poultry if inappropriately slaughtered or dead before slaughtered, or killed in name anyone other than Allah will be deemed haram which in other word is non halal.
There are many cases that have been brought to the public attention regarding fraud on meat products. There are many reported incidences that meat that is labelled, certified or sold as halal may not be so. It has been related by van Waarden and van Dalen in 2010 of a TV documentary shot in the Netherlands that out of a sample of 10 Turkish sandwiches that are sold as 100% lamb, only 1 turned out to be what it was pretended to be and alarmingly one was actually made of 100% pork. The Muslim Council of Britain issued a statement warning the Muslim community about chicken supplied by Holland which contains pork as screened by BBC program 'The Food Police'. From a study conducted by the Local Council Regulatory Services (Lacors) in England, sampling 495 kebabs by 76 councils, it was revealed that six kebabs include pork when it has not been declared as an ingredient and shockingly two of them were actually described as halal.
Contamination with pork maybe due to human greed as in many countries pork is always much cheaper. Consumers in Muslims countries are not so safe in assuming that no contamination happens during food preparation. It was reported by the Chief of JAKIM that the department did not give accreditations to many hotels' restaurant in Malaysia because it was found that suspect items like alcohol are being used in cooking, chickens were sourced from suspect suppliers and there were mixing of halal and non halal items in stores.
Meat and meat products may be the most highly regulated segment with regard to halal requirements with many halal websites to inform and enlighten the Muslim community at large of the of issues regarding halal meat. It is found that a majority halal meat customers trust the local shops more than the supermarkets as the shops are manned by Muslims as opposed to supermarkets. An animal, whose meats are permissible to be eaten, may become non halal if it is not slaughtered according to the Islamic ritual. It is alarming to note that as much as 90 % of the meat and poultry sold as halal in the Pakistan, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Scandinavian Countries even in UK, may have been sold illegally and not slaughtered according to the Muslim requirements. It is reported that most animals are being stunned before having their throats slits, just like in the main stream food production which make them non halal.
There are various websites that debate on the issues of stunning. Although, these incidences were reported in non-Muslim countries, the Muslim countries were also not spared of these perturbing issues as many are importing meat from non-Muslim countries such as New Zealand and Brazil. To ensure that imported meats are halal, the authorities in many countries have obligate guidelines to ensure that the meat is not contaminated. For example, in Malaysia, halal markings or certifications for meat are given only when JAKIM are satisfied with the examination that cover all aspects of preparation, slaughtering, processing, handling storage, transportation, cleaning, disinfection and management practices, these types of regulatory requirements should be made mandatory and practice in Pakistan as well.
Other than meat and poultry products, alcohol and intoxicants and also blood and blood by products are also non halal. The relatively vibrant activity in the halal food production has brought about the need to address other food ingredients such fish and sea food, dairy products, cereal and confectionaries and questionable ingredients such as gelatine and enzyme. Rias and Chaudry discuss in more detail the various halal raw materials. Food producers also need to be aware of the sources of these common foods. For example, gelatine can be either halal (if taken from seaweed) or haram (if taken from bones of non-halal animals) and so are cheeses that are made using rennet taken from non-halal cow's stomach.
Moreover, there are an increasingly large number of ingredients directly added to food which needs to be certified halal. For example, in EAFUS (Everything Added to Food in the United States) list there is listed over 2000 substances as additional ingredients for food. The list of halal and non-halal ingredients for Malaysia can be obtained from malaysiahalalfoods.com, whereas same platform isn't available for Pakistan till now.
As mentioned earlier, the concept of halal and tayyib prohibit Muslims to take food that harms body or health and those that have impurity and filthy deteriorating its goodness and wholesome. Food cannot be passed as halal if there is any indication that it poses a health risk. Pointing & Teinaz, has reported the increased in food crimes in the many countries involving the sales of rotten meat that is unfit for human consumption which also include passing these meat as halal meat and this conspiracy has been around for period of more than 10 years.
The concept of tayyib in Islam somehow fits with the UK food law and EU General Food Law in terms of the health risk associated to consumption. For example, the UK food Safety Act 1990 has indicated that meat that is filthy, smelly and extremely unwholesome is not fit for consumption. This condition violates not only the Syariah (Islamic) law but the Safe Food law and the meat could not be halal, Other food law, for example, the hazard analysis and critical control points (HACCP) requirements is also associated to the tayyib concept. Riaz & Chaudry, stressed that HACCP which address food safety issues are still relevant and can be used to identify halal control points. But, it would need to be complemented with the halal compliance.
A food is halal if it is halal all through the whole food production chain. Ensuring that the ingredients used are halal is not adequate. These efforts must continue to ensure that the raw materials go through a process that will make them to remain halal right up to the table. During production, contamination with non halal elements can render a food non halal such that the cutlery and utensils used in preparing halal food must also be free of non-halal ingredients. For instance, in the process, alcohol based cleaners and sanitizers are not permitted nor are labelled adhesives containing gelatine. Again, adhering to MS1500, GMP and HACCP ensures that the food production complies with the halal, health and safety requirements. | eng | 5cf56b2d-e0bc-4dc2-bcb6-221855839dfb | https://www.halalexpertise.com/issues-on-the-halal-food-ingredients-and-production-2/ |

At Aardman, we love finding new ways for audiences to engage with our characters. From watching, playing and even performing with them, we love crafting content that brings fans closer to the action, giving them ways to interact with our characters and stories in innovative ways. So, when Sky asked us to produce a game using our very own Morph to showcase Sky Live, the new interactive camera from Sky for the Sky Glass TV, we were delighted to explore this new technology and take Morph on a brand-new adventure into the digital space!
So, we made a Morph game called Thingy-ma-bobstacle Course that utilises Sky Live's AI-powered body tracking and gesture control to physically direct Morph along a series of epic obstacles and super-fun treadmill terrain, collecting buttons, dodging shapes and battling bosses to reach the furthest distance possible and top the leader board.
Aardman and Sky Kids have a long-standing relationship, with The Epic Adventures of Morph and The Very Small Creatures series as well as several games made with Sky Kids. With several joint ventures together, it was a natural collaboration and we were excited to be involved right from the very start with this new piece of technology, Sky Live. Being able to feed into initial development, working with Sky to iterate and improve based on our testing and findings allowed us to work in a truly collaborative way.
Pulling on all facets of Aardman meant we could keep the whole production in-house, from modelling, rigging and animation right through to developing the game in Unity and building on the new Sky Live.
We loved being able to bring Morph into a digital space where fans can connect in a more engaged way. By using the Sky Live we were able to get our audiences even closer to the action and perform with Morph in a physical way unlike before. | eng | bc80c132-d283-4132-b1d3-c7c88e79aae2 | https://www.aardman.com/interactive/morph-thingy-ma-bobstacle-course/ |
You'll need to meet two out of the following three criteria in order to qualify as a professional client:
Professional experience: You must have worked in the financial sector in a professional position (which requires knowledge of CFDs or spread betting) for at least one year.
Investment portfolio: You are required to have a 'financial instrument portfolio' (defined as cash deposits and financial instruments) of €500,000 or more. Acceptable instruments include cash, stock portfolios, stocks and shares ISAs, trading accounts, mutual funds, and SIPPs. Managed company pensions, non-tradeable assets, property, luxury cars, or physical gold are not acceptable.
Trading experience: You must have placed 40 trades of significant size in the last year. Significant size is £10,000 notional for equity trades and £50,000 for everything else. Buying £10 of FTSE and then closing it counts as one single trade. You do not need to have made the trades with IG.

Putting Mental Health First - National Stress Awareness Day
At National Windscreens, we value team spirit and the willingness to communicate as critical aspects of creating a team that is relaxed and positive, able to provide the best windscreen repair and replacement service. November 2nd is National Stress Awareness Day, and we believe it is important to highlight the ways that stress can manifest and the services that National Windscreens has in place to help the team when they need.
Millions around the UK experience stress, it is damaging to mental and physical health and wellbeing. For example, in 2018, 74% of UK adults felt unable to cope during that past year. With stress being so common, we now employ mental first aiders across the country to provide an outlet for the team.
When under mental or emotional pressure the body releases hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which some people find useful as a motivation to complete tasks, but this becomes negative when the pressure overwhelms and turns to stress.
Mollie Payne is Health and Safety Manager at National Windscreens, qualified in a NEBOSH National General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety:
"At National Windscreens, we have a diverse range of employees with varying ages, genders and backgrounds. It is recognised that every one of the employees deals with stress, mental health and other life pressures in different ways to one another. A culture that promotes and preserves the mental wellbeing of our employees is paramount, and evidence shows that workplaces with high levels of mental wellbeing are more productive.
"As a company, we have over ten mental health first aiders across the UK as well as a brilliant HR team who are always there to provide support to those who need it most. Mental health first aid is becoming increasingly important and having these individuals in place gives our employees an outlet to voice their frustrations and feelings.
"It is often difficult to talk about stress with your colleagues, especially a line manager, which is why having the option to talk to a mental health first aider is an enormous benefit," said Mollie.
Charlotte Wright, Learning and Development Manager at National Windscreens, comments: "When people are stressed, it can affect their ability to be the best version of themselves. In turn, this impacts how customers view the overall service. Our team has developed of culture of honesty, respect, and trust and we believe that when our people are comfortable sharing their issues, they are more likely to find solutions to their problem and inspire others to do the same." | eng | 6b74c8f9-e335-4022-a36b-9930b96aaea3 | https://www.nationalwindscreens.co.uk/news/company-news/national-stress-awareness-day |

Growing Sugar Snap Peas
How to grow Sugar Snap Peas in Ireland.
Starting inside:
Peas don't need to be started inside but it gives the seed a chance to germinate and get a bit of strength to help defend against pigeons, snails, and slugs. If you choose to start inside you can do so from March. Instead of using a seed tray, it would be better to give the seeds more space. Use small pots or even toilet roll tubes. Fill your pot with compost and add one seed per pot. With your finger or a stick press the seed into the soil about 2 inches.
Transplanting out:
After a month you can transplant the peas outdoors. Dig a hole the same size as the pot, that holds the peas. Transplant the compost and seed into the hole and fill any gaps. If using a toilet roll tube you can plant this directly into the ground as the cardboard will break up in the soil.
Harvest:
The peas will be ready to harvest about 3 weeks after flowering. The peas inside should have swollen and the pod should snap when bent. To pick your peas, hold the stem of the plant with one hand and the pod with the other. Gently pull the pod, as you don't want to disturb the plant.
Growing tips:
The peas can grow high with fragile stems. You will need to provide support so the plant doesn't fall from the weight of itself. The cheapest and easiest way to do this is by making an arch from branches. Alternatively, you could use chicken wire. | eng | 28f375d4-dd3c-4d30-b850-23b5e5b3caf6 | https://seedstore.ie/growing-sugar-snap-peas/ |

Why do Things Glow in the Dark?
A Scientific Inquiry into Paints and Pigments that Glow
Why do some things things glow in the dark? How does that work?
I'm talking about materials that truly glow after you turn out the lights, not the ones that glow under black light or ultraviolet light, which are really just converting invisible high energy light into a lower energy form visible to your eyes. There are also items that glow because of ongoing chemical reactions that produce light, like the chemiluminescence of glow sticks. There are also bioluminescent materials, where the glow is caused by biochemical reactions in living cells, and glowing radioactive materials, which may emit photons or glow because of heat. These things glow, but how about glowing paints or the stars you can stick on the ceiling?
I mean things that really glow when the lights are completely turned off. Materials that glow in black light or ultraviolet light are taking high energy light, undetectable to the human eye and converting it into lower energy light that can be seen. Then there are things that glow from chemical reactions that produce light. like glow sticks. Bioluminescent materials glow because of biochemical reactions in cells. Some radioactive materials glow or emit light particles because of heat. While all these things do glow, it is simple glowing paints or glowing novelty stars I'd like to examine further.
Phosphorescence is the Key
Phosphorescence is the key to why glowing stars and plastics glow in the dark. The process in which a material absorbs energy and then slowly releases it in the form of visible light is known as photoluminescence. \On the other had, fluorescent materials release light almost immediately, so they don't readily glow in the dark.
Zinc sulfide was the primary ingredient in most glow in the dark products until the modern era of glow. Zinc sulfide would absorb energy from light and then slowly release it over time, however the energy wasn't visible so phosphor chemicals had to be added to enhance the color and glow. The phosphers converted the invisible energy into visible light.
Modern glow in the dark stuff uses strontium aluminate instead of zinc sulfide. It stores and releases about 10 times more light than the zinc sulfide and its glow last longer. The rare earth europium is often added to enhance the glow. The modern paints are durable and water-resistant, so they can be used for outdoor decorations and fishing lures and not just jewelry and plastic stars.
Nowadays strontium aluminate is used in most glow in the dark materials. It is up to ten times more efficient at storing and releasing light than zinc sulfide. Also, rare earth euopium is added to kick the glow up a notch. Paints made with these components are resistant to water and durable and can be used indoors or outdoors for decorations and even fishing lures.
It isn't Easy Being Green
Most glow in the dark items are green because as humans, our eyes are very sensitive to green light. Therefore green light is brightest in appearance to us. Also, green phosphors glow longest and brightest at the cheapest cost. Furthermore, green phosphors can be charged by sunlight or strong indoor light because they can absorb a wide range of light wavelengths.
Thermoluminescence
A material is thermoluminescent when it releases light when heated. Thermoluminscent materials absorbed infrared radiation, but emit visible light. Chlorophane is a type of fluorite that can glow in the dark from exposure to body heat. | eng | a907719b-d0a7-4e9d-8b5e-3c066357beed | https://blinkee.com/blinkeeblog/2021/01/29/why-do-things-glow-in-the-dark/ |
Nissan Juke Owners Manual : Electric power steering system
• If the engine is not running or is turned off while driving, the power assist
for the steering will not work.
Steering will be harder to operate.
• When the electric power steering warning light illuminates with the engine
running, the power assist for the steering will cease operation.
You will still have control of the vehicle but the steering will be harder to
operate.
The electric power steering system is designed to provide power assist while
driving to operate the steering wheel with light force.
When the steering wheel is operated repeatedly or continuously while parking
or driving at a very low speed, the power assist for the steering wheel will be
reduced. This is to prevent overheating of the electric power steering system and
protect it from getting damaged.
While the power assist is reduced, steering wheel operation will become heavy.
When the temperature of the electric power steering system goes down, the power
assist level will return to normal. Avoid repeating such steering wheel operations
that could cause the electric power steering system to overheat.
You may hear a sound when the steering wheel is operated quickly. However, this
is not a malfunction.
If the electric power steering warning light
illuminates while the engine is running,
it may indicate the electric power steering system is not functioning properly and
may need servicing.
Have the electric power steering system checked by a NISSAN dealer. (See "Electric
power steering warning light" .) When the electric power steering warning light
illuminates with the engine running, the power assist for the steering will cease
operation. You will still have control of the vehicle. However, greater steering
effort is needed, especially in sharp turns and at low speeds. | eng | e6b12134-c524-42c6-a9d7-e33455598037 | https://www.nijutech.com/electric_power_steering_system-210.html |

Liberals profess to being confused about Kansas being basically right wing Republican. This is viewed on the left with distain and ill-concealed hatred which is returned in similar kind by Republicans. This is a great national divide and understanding how Kansas operates politically means looking at race and class statistics and we must ponder many issues that divide Americans. The Immigrant Nation goes through various surges of distress due to floods of foreigners. The social upheavals this cause are powerful. The US cannot stand for long as a nation if we encourage and copy thug behavior, both the ghetto thug and the woman abusing biker ethos. White and black youth are being marginalized and cut out of the workplace by foreign labor from Hispanic and Asian nations.
Sometimes my very rural community gets national news. For example, in the early 1960's a propane truck ran down Plank Road which is one of the steeper roads in America, and flipped into Berlin and blew up part of the village. Otherwise, no one hears much about our woody acres. It is actually rather quiet but not that quiet. Namely, it still can make the news out here due to wild stuff going on just like any big city. This year's News is about a teen party held in our next door tiny town, Stephentown. Seems 300 teens tore into a house that was going to be foreclosed and rioted there, causing a lot of destruction. Then the parents got mad because their wayward waifs posted online many detailed photos WITH their names!…showing them drinking illegally and taking drugs while wrecking the place.

Rule 34 Skyrim: A Shocking Story of Nudity and Passion
The ancient world of Skyrim, home to dragons and powerful warriors, is one steeped in fantasy and legend. When Alduin, the Dragonborn, arrived to take control of the world, the gods looked on with approval. But what happened next changed everything
As Alduin and his powerful lieutenant, Galmar Stone-Fist, scoured the land, the humble towns of Skyrim soon found themselves in the grip of a powerful new rule—Rule 34 Skyrim. This rule stated that in order for a town to prosper, its citizens would have to participate in nude and sexual activities, as well as engage in a series of complex tasks. When Alduin or his followers issued a challenge, the townsfolk would be put to a test.
Hadvar and Farengar Secret-Fire, two warriors loyal to Alduin, quickly grasped the implications of Rule 34 Skyrim and warned the townsfolk of its effects. If they lost, they would be forced to partake in lewd acts, including outrageous displays of public nudity. Nevertheless, with the threat of Alduin's wrath looming over them, the townsfolk had little choice but to accept the new rule or face death.
Little did they know that this was simply a method of Rule 34 Skyrim in action, a way for Alduin and his followers to have their share of perverse pleasures. For when it came time to face the challenge, the townspeople found themselves completely naked and performing all manner of depraved acts. As the losing townspeople watched in horror, Alduin and his cohorts delighted in their rule 34 skyrim dragon skyrim having sex if you lose mod porn. Eventually, their passions were quelled and peace once again settled in Skyrim.
Though shocking, many of the townsfolk would later look back on these events with fondness. For the experience brought them closer together and showed them the power and strength of being united in the face of adversity. For all that it was, Rule 34 Skyrim was indeed a lesson in endurance and resilience. | eng | f348c67a-ec9f-4d57-82da-2840c57f3886 | https://skyrim-porn.com/rule-34-skyrim-dragon-skyrim-having-sex-if-you-lose-mod-porn/ |

Carol Ann Tomlinson, author of "The Differentiated Classroom: Responding to the Needs of All Learners," is the country's preeminent scholar on differentiated instruction. Tomlinson defines differentiated learning as "ensuring that what a student learns, how he/she learns it, and how the student demonstrates what he/she has learned is a match for that student's readiness level, interests, and preferred mode of learning." She likens the reluctance to integrate modern knowledge of the learning process into the classroom to settling for a Model T instead of embracing 21st-century engineering.

Hello develupers This is a very simple. I want to make a player get 10 damage every 1 second if he is inside of a part I maked a sinple script with touched function and
With debounce.
But the player don't get damage if he is stopped. I want to make player get damage if he is inside of the part. There's a way to make this? Thanks for all help.
The part is can collide set off
The player is put in a table once made contact. Every second, have the script check each tagged player if they are still touching. if not, or their HP is 0, remove from the table. If still touching, 10 damage.
Do it as @Program48656c707573 said, using a CanCollide off Part (that can be Transparent if you want, but have CanTouch set to true), but also check to see if HumanoidRootPart.BasePart | Roblox Creator Documentation is less than .1 (or something close to 0) to check if the player is moving or not.
--using zone functions/methods/events (in this case an event) obtain Zone's modulescript in replicated storage(see installation walkthrough)
local Zone = require(game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").Zone)
--initialize a zonegroup, i.e. checkpoints, zones must be something a player
--touches or passes through.
local groupzone1= game.Workspace.groupzone1--Location of Block in which you want the player to see if hes inside
local zone1= Zone.new(groupzone1)
--categorizes the zones on map as a actual zone within ZonePlus module
--Checks on player entering, who that player was
zone1.playerEntered:Connect(function(player)--obtains player
--set a bool to true and loop every second or etc damage, keep checking if bool is true if not, break loop
end)
zone1.playerExited:Connect(function(player)--obtains player
--make a bool to identify that the player left in entered event and break loop
end)
Please note, the bool would have to be identifiable for the player.Name in a sort of dictionary/table so you need to understand tables for this, particularly table.insert and table.remove setting values in table…
-- Localscript:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local killPart = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("KillPart")
local Found = false
while wait(1) do -- Every second the Health will decrease. U can change it.
for i, v in pairs(killPart:GetChildren()) do
Found = false
local region = Region3.new(v.Position - (v.Size/2),v.Position + (v.Size/2))
local parts = game.Workspace:FindPartsInRegion3WithWhiteList(region, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:GetDescendants())
for _, part in pairs(parts) do
if part:FindFirstAncestor(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name) then
Found = true
break
else
Found = false
end
end
if Found == true then
character.Humanoid.Health -= 1
end
end

Bitter Orange Essential Oil
Although not quite as popular in aromatherapy as its sweeter relation, nonetheless Bitter Orange essential oil offers a wide range of health benefits to both qualified aromatherapists and home enthusiasts alike.
The essential oil is obtained from the peel of Citrus aurantium fruits which are acid-bitter, and therefore too sour to be eaten as out-of-hand fruit.
However, they are perfect for making an absolutely delicious marmalade that is eaten around the world. Bitter orange essential oil is still used to flavour a wide range of consumables including confectionaries, ice cream, chewing gum, soft drinks and liqueurs.
Until recently it was used extensively by the perfumery industry in perfumes and colognes. Synthetic fragrances are now used mostly in this industry.
General description
The bitter orange tree is a small evergreen that typically reaches a height of 3 metres (10ft) in cultivation, but may attain up to 6 metres (20ft) when growing in the wild. It has a smooth brown trunk, stout branches and flexible green twigs with rather blunt thorns, and a more erect stature and compact crown than that of the sweet orange tree (Citrus sinensis).
This plant has considerable tolerance of adverse conditions and can stand several degrees of frost for short periods, although it thrives best in subtropical and near-tropical climates. Bitter orange trees can reach a ripe old age, with some trees in Spain being reportedly over 600 years old.
Did you know
The strong green twiglets and broad, ovate, glossy evergreen leaves of this species also contain significant quantities of essential oil which produces petitgrain oil by steam distillation.
The flowers of Citrus aurantium are also used to produce commercial quantities of both neroli oil and orange flower absolute. These oils are usually obtained from a specific cultivar of C. aurantium grown only for the production of these oils.
The fruits of Citrus aurantium are round or oval measuring 7-8 centimetres across, with a thick, heavily pitted peel that turns from yellow-golden to orange-red on maturity. It comprises of 10 to 12 segments with a strongly acid pulp and numerous seeds, and like all citrus fruits the essential oil glands are found in tiny pits located within the peel.
Today, bitter orange trees are cultivated for the production of essential oil in several countries including Brazil, China, Dominican Republic, Guinea, Haiti, India, Jamaica, Mexico, Paraguay, Sicily, Spain, Taiwan and the West Indies.
Origins and folklore
It is believed that the bitter orange originated in South-East Asia, later spreading to North-Eastern India, Burma and China, and eventually finding its way via Arab traders to Africa, Arabia and Syria. From these regions it was taken to the Mediterranean by the Moors, and by the end of the 12th century it was cultivated in Seville, Spain, thereby leading to the common name for bitter oranges.
The bitter variety was the first orange to be introduced to the New World, finding its way to Mexico in 1568 and South America later in 1587. The sweet variety was unknown throughout Europe until it was introduced from India by Portuguese traders, eventually becoming the more popular choice.
Traditional uses
The dried peel of both bitter and sweet orange has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for thousands of years to treat anorexia, colds, coughs, digestive spasm relief and to stimulate digestion. The rind is both carminative and tonic, and the fresh rind is used as a remedy for acne. Bitter orange juice is antiseptic, anti-bilious and haemostatic.
In central and south America, China, Haiti, Italy and Mexico, decoctions of the leaves from C. aurantium have been taken internally as a traditional remedy to utilise their sudorific, antispasmodic, antiemetic, stimulant, stomachic and tonic properties. Some conditions treated with the leaves include colds, flu, fever, diarrhoea, digestive spasm and indigestion, hemorrhages, infant colic, nausea and vomiting and skin blemishes.
Citrus aurantium is an amazing tree that is absolutely bursting with natural remedies hidden within the fruit, flowers and leaves. And all of these therapeutic properties are available to everyone today in the convenient form of the various essential oils yielded from this wondrous tree.
Harvesting and Extraction
Unlike most other fruits, oranges do not continue to mature after picking, therefore harvesting must be done at precisely the right time if maximum oil levels are to be achieved. Bitter orange essential oil is obtained by cold expression of the rind, and yields orange-yellow or orange-brown essential oil with a fresh, fruity citrus aroma virtually identical to that of sweet orange.
Benefits of Bitter Orange Essential Oil
Although the therapeutic properties action of bitter orange essential oil are considered to be very similar to sweet orange, in my experience bitter orange appears more potent and often yields better results than the sweet variety. It is effective for the treatment of poor digestion, constipation and clearing congestion of the liver when used in massage blends.
The cleansing, stimulating and toning action of bitter orange essential oil makes it ideal to add to other lymphatic stimulants for treating oedema, cellulite or as part of a detoxification program. Varicose veins and facial thread veins respond well to this essential oil, especially when blended with cypress oil in facial treatments. Some aromatherapists have had success treating acne with this oil, perhaps due its antiseptic properties.
On the emotional system bitter orange essential oil is extremely uplifting and energizing for the body, yet calming to the mind and emotions. It is used in Ayurvedic medicine as an aid to meditation, and this is perhaps why it can be extremely helpful in easing stress and anxiety. Diffusing bitter orange oil is said to help dispel tantrums and frustration for both adults and children alike! | eng | 33add7ec-2ec3-478c-a2ab-914a9f231701 | https://www.quinessence.com/blog/bitter-orange-essential-oil |

As someone who's lived a double life for decades split between SFW and NSFW communities, I appreciate the idea of being able to hide adult-oriented games on my profile rather than have to try and explain them to people or have an alternate account. It's a feature I've wanted for years, hopefully Steam comes through with it.

The most obvious use of marking games as private is to hide NSFW stuff, but it has utility beyond that. I could see it being useful for hiding games that aren't particularly objectionable overall, but wouldn't be approved of by parts of one's social circle or might invite unwanted commentary from someone on their friends list.

This has historically been a can of worms for Tildes, and I don't think we need to open that one again. But to summarize - because of J. K. Rowling's influence and tremendous hatred for trans people (specifically trans women) there are a lot of people that consider purchasing the game to be financial support for transphobia.

Honestly, very very well put. So well put that I don't even have anything to add.
I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Honestly I didn't like that she was profiting off it, but I had an amazing time playing the game and after seeing the trans characters I felt somewhat redeemed. She's also wealthy enough that whatever she makes from this game really will have no difference in her power so to me in the end "she profits off it" was kind of a moot argument from all those band wagoners.

In regards to the combat, I agree! While I did have some fun, it was very repetitive and not very rewarding, though I went out of my way to kill everything and do every side quest searching for better fights.
This feeling was probably partially because I had not long before that had pretty much 100%'d Elden Ring CO-OP mod with 2 friends and the combat in that is much more challenging, so the combat in HL was a pretty funny but nice change.
I absolutely loved the graphics and level designs too. I think I spent like the first 3-4 hours of the game just exploring the castle and surroundings, not progressing any quests haha.
And yes some of the physics with the combat were pretty hilarious too!

I knew something was up when people went from being mad at her for pushing hateful transphobic rhetoric on Twitter to trying to paint the Harry Potter books as deliberately racist.
I'm as angry as anyone at how she uses her clout to push TERF nonsense, but I feel like you have to completely misunderstand the whole point of Harry Potter to think it is intentionally racist. The entire antagonist faction is an allegory for white supremacy, what with their whole motivation being the pursuit of racial purity in their community...

Understandable. For me it's games with anthropomorphic (furry) characters. I've hung around with the furry community for over two decades now, I still have friends there and some of the games that come from the community are pretty good, but definitely mature territory. On the other hand, I have IRL friends from work, etc. on Steam as well, and I'd rather not explain why I bought an adult-rated furry dating sim game.

I just took a look and was surprised to find that you can actually get leisure suit larry on steam, along with space quest, quest for glory, king's quest, and all the old sierra games. Might be time for a little stroll down memory lane.

I've never played these games but I'll admit I was shocked when I learned you can't hide them. I have to imagine that everyone in the industry would love for steam to make this a thing. No judgement on people who do like these kinds of games, but I totally understand not wanting to play one when your entire friends list (often including relatives) gets to know.

Yeah, the best you can do right now is make your entire game library private, which can be a pain when you want to use the "compare owned games" function to see if a friend has the same games you do (helps finding co-op stuff to play). I've been waiting years for such a feature, there's games I wanted to try but couldn't because the fact I bought it would be plastered all over my activity feed.

Honestly Steam desperately needs better features for managing your privacy and friends list. My profile is just set to private and I'm constantly set to offline because I don't really want people to know what games I'm playing and when. I don't really want to add coworkers or anything on Steam either because that just seems like a disaster waiting to happen, particularly in workplaces which don't understand or respect work/life balance.
I only add people who I would consider 'friends' outside work, so that's a pretty short list. Most of them are either admitted furries or other LGBT folks. I understand the desire for privacy,...
I only add people who I would consider 'friends' outside work, so that's a pretty short list. Most of them are either admitted furries or other LGBT folks. I understand the desire for privacy, though. I used to balance having multiple Steam and Discord accounts for different crowds, but it got to be too much of a pain. Discord at least allows you to have different names/avatars in different servers so it's easier to keep two sides of your life separate now than in the past. Steam adopting similar features is nice, though like you said, it could definitely use more in that vein.

Exemplary
There's enough variety out there that some porn games will scratch your itch, but let me talk about them mechanically, since the gameplay is what's going to actually distinguish them from other forms of smut. Some are good as both games and porn, but there's a majority of them that are really poor games, since NSFW games don't get a huge amount of development time. A lot of them go for very simple mechanics, like card matching to reveal an image, or a platformer where when you run into an enemy you get a short cutscene, but at that point you would be better off just browsing an image board or video site. The best are actual fun games in their own right, and that makes the smut something where it feels like something you're actually choosing and doing. To me, that's what can elevate porn games above other forms of erotic media.
RPG's are a great format for smut. All of the benefits of player agency and growth, potential for narrative depth, and then smut on top. The best example I have of a good game that happens to be very smutty is Karryn's Prison, an RPG/city builder with a 20 hour campaign, a tech tree and variable character builds, well balanced combat, well balanced sex actions within the combat framework that means your active engagement doesn't stop just because sex starts... it's a technically impressive game and is fun and possible to play through entirely without engaging with the sexual content, which is high praise.
If you want to read more and look at pictures less, Fenoxo has developed a series of text-only RPG's with extensive storylines and side characters. These games have had content added to them for years, so there's a lot of reading to be done as well as game to play.
Below that is a wide band of RPG's with perfectly functional RPG Maker combat and a broad variety of themes. Whether these are worth playing will mostly depend on whether the smut matches your personal tastes, but coming from a perfectly functional game engine there's something of a floor on how bad it can be, gamewise. It's never a bad idea to read the reviews for mentions of it being fun to play. Mango Party and Kagura Games are major publishers of games in that vein. Variable quality, but a decent place to start looking. A special nod to Odyssey of Gianna, which has that sort of old-school early 90's JRPG vibe, where there are way more mechanics than you'd expect from a simple RPG, and the whole thing goes weird. Really weird. Too weird for me. But from a gameplay perspective it's a really clever set of mechanics.
There's also some point & click adventure titles with cutscenes interspersed, with NLT Media being the top of the heap there. These are massive games, with hundreds of cutscenes, but for me, the lack of any choices to be made makes me feel like I could just watch a movie instead. If the gaming aspect isn't relevant to what I'm doing, why am I playing a game?
But all in all there's a huge body of art out there, tailored to whatever sort of interests you have. A lot of the smut is good even if the gameplay is bad. Turn off that NSFW filter on Steam and take a look. You can even do it secretly soon.
it's like the rest of the indie market. The vast majority are horrible and aren't worth the time it took to click on the store link. Some are decent or target a very specific niche and if you find...
it's like the rest of the indie market. The vast majority are horrible and aren't worth the time it took to click on the store link. Some are decent or target a very specific niche and if you find those you are truly set. A few are decent enough games even if they just tack on sex scenes (think most WRPGs in terms of tack on. Can you make fallout or Baldur's Gate 3 without sex? Sure. Does it help immerse? yes). And then there are a few unicorns that are truly great games and weave the themes of sexuality into every fabric of the game.
the net is squeamish and this stuff is constantly pushed underground, so you need to dig and find the right circles for yourself. And of course, find youself. No point in recommending the best furry game if you do not enjoy furries.
Steam is so inconsistent with what it allows that I only buy them on Steam as a last resort. When I had Evenicle on Steam (and still do) and Evenicle 2 was blocked, it was pretty clear the lines...

Itch.io has one of the more friendlier interfaces for discovering games and a bustling NSFW community for indies. Maybe the largest storefront for that stuff outside of Steam itself. Really good filtering/categorization, decent curation for if you want to check what's hot, its own community forum for more intimate curation and to give feedback to the store owners (who's decently active. Or at least, was some ~3 years ago when I last browsed). Community IMO was on the friendlier side.
I'll also emphasize as a dev (well, professional dev hoping to go indie one day) that it's pretty friendly on that front too, since you can name the rate you give to Itch, down to 0% (I believe the default slider is 10%). Many NSFW stuff there is free regardless, but it's an interesting footnote.
For more professional stuff, I'll usually try and check DLSite. It has many stuff but nowhere close to all. But it's GOG esque in that every thing I've bought there so far was no nonsense DRM-free downloads, so that's huge points in my books.
Many Japanese games (many "visual novels", but some VNs end up having more gameplay than console games) also have some publisher that distributes for them overseas so you'll see a few names pop up constantly in that scene:
Mangagamer
Jast USA
Kagura Games
Denpasoft
IME none of these are particularly good at discovery nor curation, but if you know exactly what you're looking for you can go straight to the source.
And while I don't personally condone piracy, I can't ignore the community of F95zone. It's pretty obvious what most people are there for, but it's at least polite enough to link to official sources. It's an old school forum format, so I find it easy to navigate around. It's most helpful for discovering some stuff only directly distributed, or exclusively behind Patreon (which I'd never personally search directly on). And of course there's plenty of curation if you search around the comments or post your own discussion (there's decent tagging and a "trending games" section as well).
But like any community, YMMV a lot. I won't say most of the conversations I've read there are 4chan levels, but you'll see that. More like reddit levels most of the time. I've only lurked there, personally.
It's a good question. As it is right now they'll show up in your discovery queue, and even on the front page in the "Featured & Recommended" page, so if someone is looking over your shoulder they...

List vs. ArrayList in Java – Java中的List与ArrayList
1. Overview
1.概述
First, we'll see a sample implementation using ArrayList. Then, we'll switch to the List interface and compare the differences.
首先,我们将看到一个使用ArrayList的示例实现。然后,我们将切换到List接口,并比较两者的区别。
2. Using ArrayList
2.使用ArrayList。
ArrayList is one of the most commonly used List implementations in Java. It's built on top of an array, which can dynamically grow and shrink as we add/remove elements. It's good to initialize a list with an initial capacity when we know that it will get large:
However, let's assume that as the application matures, it becomes clear that the number of passengers varies quite a lot. For instance, if there are only five booked passengers, with an initial capacity of 20, the memory wastage is 75%. Let's say we decide to switch to a more memory-efficient List.
2.3. Changing the Implementation Type
2.3.改变实现类型
Java provides another List implementation called LinkedList to store variable-sized data.LinkedList uses a collection of linked nodes to store and retrieve elements. What if we decided to change the base implementation from ArrayList to LinkedList:
Now, let's consider the same problem statement and change the base implementation to the LinkedList type. Both the ArrayList and LinkedList classes are implementations of the List interface. So, we can now safely change the base implementation without creating any disturbances to other parts of the application. The class still compiles and works fine as before.
5. Conclusion
5.总结
In this article, we examined the differences and best practices of using List vs ArrayList types.
在这篇文章中,我们研究了使用List与ArrayList类型的区别和最佳实践。
We saw how referencing a specific type can make the application vulnerable to change at a later point in time. Specifically, when the underlying implementation changes, it affects other layers of the application. Hence, using the most abstract type (top-level class/interface) is often preferred over using a specific reference type. | eng | cdfaf9d2-9d47-4487-b595-ab525f328cd6 | http://www.baeldung.cc/java-list-vs-arraylist/ |

Is yoga useful for runners? Most athletes ask this question, especially among those who question its effectiveness. Some believe yoga for runners increases mobility, while others argue it makes running more difficult. So who is right? According to most scientific sources, yoga benefits runners as it improves mobility and is a perfect recovery activity. What follows are perfect yoga poses for runners to improve their flexibility and mobility and relieve tension and soreness during recovery.
The findings concur with a 2020 study that shows yoga to be highly beneficial for runners. The study showed that although rigorous static stretching does not benefit running performance, it reduced the rate of acute muscle injuries by 54% (5). The study concluded that static stretching using yoga stretches and only for short durations, combined with additional warm-up exercises, has positive effects (5).
What Yoga Poses Are Good For Runners?
Whether you want to unwind after running or stretching before your run, the bottom line is that yoga benefits athletes. The best yoga poses for athletes vary depending on the aim of the runner. So, there are yoga poses and stretches to perform when warming up, during recovery, and cooling down.
But ideally, the yoga sequences for runners cover power and vinyasa yoga. Here are some of the best yoga poses for runners:
The Best Yoga Poses For Runners' Hips, Knees, Hamstrings, And Quads
Runners often experience knee pain and tight hamstrings, quads, and hips. They are often advised to perform yoga poses that can fight tightness, strengthen, and lengthen the hamstrings, quads, calves, and hips. Here are a few considerations:
The Standing Quad Stretch
Quadriceps (quads) refer to the muscles at the front of your thigh (4). Strengthening these muscles is important for runners because they help them develop their running stride. But unfortunately, runners often get tight quads, which is not good for them as it can lead to injuries.
For example, when runners experience tight and tense muscles, they can report a misalignment in their hips and back, resulting in intense pain (4). Similarly, strong quads are important among runners because they support the knee and keep knee pain at bay. To perform it (4):
Stand upright with your feet at hip-width distance and neck and spine in a neutral position.
Bend your right knee, then bring the right foot up behind your body and towards your bum. Note that you can hold onto a wall or a sturdy object for extra support.
Grab the right foot using the right hand to mark the standing stance.
Keep your right knee pointed to the floor, hips slightly pushed, and thighs and knees together.
The Seated Hamstring Stretch
Hamstrings are the muscles that run up the back of your thighs. They help us generate force as we walk or run while stabilizing our bodies. Strong hamstrings are a must to help runners improve their running stride (4).
But sometimes the hamstrings become tight, causing knee and lower back pain. As a result it makes mobility painful and uncomfortable. To correct this, runners are advised to do the seated hamstring stretch to increase flexibility in these muscles. To perform a seated hamstring stretch (4):
Sit on the floor and stretch your right leg straight while keeping the left one bent and its knee on the floor. Similarly, keep the left foot on the inside of the right thigh.
Stretch your arm to hold your right foot or ankle, depending on your flexibility. Alternatively, you can also hold onto your lower leg. You will feel a stretch in your back leg regardless of where you hold onto. Please stop this exercise if you feel pain or extreme discomfort.
Hold the stretch for half a minute.
Slowly return to the sitting stance, then repeat on the other leg.
The Child's Pose
The stretch is highly recommended for runners because it stretches their back muscles and releases back and neck strain. As a result it helps blood flow to the brain and spine. Similarly, the pose helps runners keep their ankles flexible while stretching the feet and shin tops to avoid shin (4).
The Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch
Hip flexors refer to the muscles in the region where your thighs meet the torso. They are important because they help with functions such as stability, mobility, and maintaining the strength of other muscles.
These muscles are particularly important for runners because they help strengthen the lower body and promote stretching to avoid injuries. Tight hip flexors are dangerous for runners as they can cause injuries and hip and lower back pain (4).
You can fight tight hip flexors by performing the kneeling hip flexor stretch. To perform it (4):
Start standing, then slide your right foot behind your body to help you kneel on your right knee.
Position both hands on your left knee, then gently and slowly lean your body forward.
Next, straighten your right hip to stretch your right side hip flexors.
Hold the stretch for 30 seconds.
Slowly pull your right foot in to help you return to the standing stance.
Switch legs and perform the same move.

Toe Touches
The other excellent stretch for your hamstrings is the toe touch. As the name implies, you must touch your toes from a standing stance to increase flexibility in this area. But there are a few tricks to it, as disclosed in this step-by-step guide on how to do a toe touch (4):
Stand upright with your back straight, hands by your sides, and feet stacked together or at shoulder-width distance. Remember to keep your knees straight without interlocking them.
Stretch your fingers to help you reach your toes. As you do this, relax your neck and breathe normally.
Hold the stretch up to half a minute, depending on how you feel.
Slowly return to the standing stance and repeat.
Low Lunge
Lunges are excellent additions to a workout plan due to their long list of benefits. For example, they target many muscle groups and help in all-body toning for a complete transformation. For runners the exercise is an excellent movement to include in the warm-up routine as it prepares the glutes, core, and quads. To perform it:
Start in a Downward Facing Dog position. Lie on the floor with your hands at a shoulder-width distance to get in this position. Press your hands down, lift your knees off the floor, and straighten your legs as much as possible. This marks the starting position of this pose.
Breathe out and step your right foot forward in between your hands. Slowly lower the left knee toward the floor as you slide the foot back. Slide as much as you can or until you feel a nice deep stretch in your left hip and thigh. Be sure to keep your hips low and at the same level.
Yoga Poses For Runners' Recovery
For runners, yoga is a post-workout cool-down activity with physical and mental benefits. It has been linked to reduced injury risk and increased flexibility and mindfulness. Below are some poses to try during recovery:
The Plank Pose
Doing a plank pose after running reduces the straining of your muscles by helping them warm up. Maintain the correct form, even if it means holding the plank for a shorter duration.Here is how you do a plank (2):
Cobra Pose
The Cobra Pose helps improve posture and relieve lower back pain. For runners, posture improvement is important because it allows for proper movement of your joints, muscles, and ligaments (7). So, to perform this pose:
Lie on your stomach with your arms resting on your sides.
Position your feet and legs hip-width apart and stretch your big toe straight back. Press down with all your toenails so that you can activate your quads.
Bend your elbows and bring your hands close to your ribs. Press down lightly, engage your core, and slowly lift your head and chest off the floor. As you do this, remember to inhale, roll your shoulders back and down and keep the back of your neck long.
Straighten your arms to help lift your body off the floor but remember to maintain a slight bend in your elbows. Lift until your belly is off the floor or to your point of comfort.
Legs Up The Wall
As the name suggests, this pose involves having your legs up on a wall. It is an effective cool-down yoga pose because it alleviates tired legs and relieves leg and foot cramps (6). Additionally, it has been shown to calm your mind, softly open the backs of your legs and relieve backaches (6). To perform it (6):
Starting in a sitting stance on the floor with your feet on the ground and left side against a flat wall.
Slowly lower your back to the ground, then place your feet flat against the wall.
Gently bring your body next to the wall until your sit bones are against the wall and your legs are vertically above you and your hips. Rest your head on the floor and position your pelvis in a neutral position.
Relax your neck and face, then rest your hands on your tummy or beside you on the floor.
Stay in this stance for 10 to 15 minutes or until as instructed by your trainer.

Triangle Pose
The Triangle Pose is part of many yoga sequences that build leg strength. It also stretches the spine, hips, shoulders, chest, hamstrings, groins, and calves (7). Evidence also shows the yoga pose can increase neck and hips mobility and strength, and endurance (7). Below are the steps to guide you on nailing the Triangle pose (7):
Start in a Warrior 11 pose. Here is a quick rundown of how to get in this pose:
Face the long side of your mat and stretch your arms straight out, with your feet positioned parallel to each other in a wide stance. Try to position your ankles at least beneath your wrists.
Turn your right foot and knee toward the mat's front.
Position your left toes slightly toward the upper left corner of the mat.
Bend your right knee and position it over your right ankle.
Distribute your weight evenly between both legs, then press down using the outer edge of your back foot.
Straighten your front (the right) leg from this Warrior II stance.
Draw your right femur toward its socket, and remember to engage the right thigh muscles. Tuck your right hip and stretch the right hand toward the front part of the room.
Lower the right hand towards your ankle or shin. Alternatively, you can place the arm on the right foot or the floor but on the inside. Choose whichever method is comfortable for you.
As your chest opens, the left shoulder will stack on top of the right. Try to reach your fingertips, but keep the left shoulder rooted in its socket.
Turn your head to maintain an upward gaze toward your left fingertips. If it strains your neck, you can simply position your head in a neutral position.
Draw your right thigh muscles up to further deepen your right hip's crease but soften the knee to prevent a microbend.
The Bottom Line
Yoga is a perfect activity for everyone. For runners, it is particularly important to fight the tightness of muscles such as the quads, hamstrings, calves, and hip flexors. It also relieves pain and aches when done as a recovery cool-down activity.
Some of the best yoga poses for runners include the Child's Pose, Triangle, Cobra, and Legs Up the Wall Poses. For the stretches, runners can consider toe touches, seated hamstring stretch, standing quad, and kneeling hip flexors stretches. Please talk to your trainer before adding these moves to your workout | eng | 75eee8c3-0e67-4267-be10-9a10cdc25018 | https://betterme.world/articles/yoga-poses-for-runners/ |
The Power to Stop Infection Is in Everyone's Hands
Everyone has germs on their body. Some of these germs help keep us healthy, while some make us sick. When we have contact with people, animals, and objects, we pick up some germs and leave some germs. Sometimes we pick up germs that make us sick. Sometimes we leave germs that make others sick, even though these germs didn't make us sick.
While germs are spread by coughing and sneezing, most of the time they are spread by hand contact. The best way to stop the spread of germs is to clean our hands often. You can clean your hands by washing them with soap and water or using an alcohol hand rub. When you wash your hands with soap and water, the rubbing of your hands loosens many of the germs and the water rinses them away. When you use an alcohol hand rub, the alcohol kills many of the germs on your hands. Simple hand cleaning helps prevent the flu, common colds, and other infections.
The providers and staff of UW Health are dedicated to keeping you safe while you are here. They know they should wash their hands or use alcohol hand rub often while they provide care for you, but there may be times when they forget. If you do not see your caregivers clean their hands when entering your room, please ask them to do so. It only takes a few words like these to support this healthy habit:
"Excuse me; did you clean your hands?"
"I saw that you cleaned your hands, thank you!"
It is also important for family members and visitors to wash their hands when they visit you. They should wash their hands when they enter your room and leave your room.
Keep in mind that objects such as doorknobs, keyboards, elevator buttons, and phones may carry germs that can make us sick. Since it is hard to avoid these objects, it is vital to clean our hands often. If you must stay in bed, please ask your caregiver for soap and water or alcohol hand rub to clean your hands.
How to Wash Your Hands the Right Way
Have a dry cloth towel near you before you start. Avoid using damp towels due to germs.
Wet your hands with water.
Put soap on your hands. Use liquid soap if you have it. Liquid soaps are better than bar soaps because germs can live on bar soap. If you use bar soap, put the bar on a rack between uses.
Rub your hands together for at least 15 seconds. You may say the ABCs or sing "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" to make sure you've washed long enough.
Rub your hands until they are dry. It should take 25-30 seconds to dry your hands.
When to Use Alcohol Hand Rubs
Anytime you are cleaning your hands when they don't look dirty.
Before and after you have contact with someone who is sick.
After shaking or holding hands.
After coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose.
Keeping Hands Healthy
Skin protects our bodies from chemicals and germs. To do this well, our skin must be healthy. Healthy skin is skin that isn't too dry and doesn't have cuts, scrapes, cracks, or rashes.
Causes of Dry Skin include:
Cold weather
Low humidity or dry air
Being over 30 years old
Poor nutrition
Some medicines
Some illnesses
Washing hands often
Cleaning agents
To Keep Your Skin Healthy:
Wash your hands with warm water, not hot.
Rinse your hands well. Soap dries skin.
Pat your skin dry. Don't rub it.
Use lotions often. Putting lotion on skin when it is damp is helpful.
Wear gloves and clothing to keep you warm when you are cold.
Wear gloves to protect your skin when you do things like cleaning and working in the yard.
Nails
Thousands of germs can live under and around fingernails. Be sure to clean areas under fingernails. Fresh nail polish does not result in more germs, but chipped nail polish may carry germs. Fake nails often have more germs under and around them than real nails do. | eng | e112c32e-2f7f-4b4d-a15a-3d950dd15ae8 | https://patient.uwhealth.org/healthfacts/5236 |
In the eighteenth century, Edmund Burke defined an aesthetic of the sublime through an analogy between experiences made in nature (a storm, an earthquake) and experiences made with artworks. At that time, the relationship between man and nature was still clear. But how can we think of the sublime in the era of the anthropocene, in which humans have become the principal agents for the transformation of our planetary systems, to the extend of becoming a geological power? And how can we create artworks that are aesthetically and ethically truthful to the deliquescence of the boundaries between nature and culture? Or maybe we are due to an entirely new paradigm of the sublime that would be found in the machine or in big data?
Claire Bishop defines participatory art as art in which people are the main medium and material: people do something in interaction with one-another within an art context. In a kind of reverse movement, is it possible to extend this definition to non-human agents? What about things and animals? And what about the air that we breath? What would an aesthetic experience be where humans and non-humans interact in a horizontal, non-hierarchical way?
Departing from these two questions, I want to retrace the history of the Sublime (let's say from Longinus to Steven Shaviro) and think of the possibility of a new aesthetic: an aesthetic of continuity. The extension of participation to non-human actors constitutes, in a sense, a case study thereof. | eng | 7c6f83b9-bec6-4d45-ab06-fa91fcedc918 | https://arias.amsterdam/tag/david-weber-krebs-ahk/ |

Are You Recycling… or Wish-Cycling?
Sometimes our good intentions do more harm than good…
What's Wish-cycling?
Too often people put items into their recycling cart, thinking, "No problem. If they're not recyclable, they'll just get sorted out." This well-intentioned but harmful practice is called "wish-cycling."
Why it's Such a Problem
Economic Viability: Sorting out trash slows recycling operations, which costs more money, as does disposing of that trash.
Burden on Workers: Working on a sorting line is hard enough without pulling off trash, handling dirty items, and untangling plastic bags from the equipment. Recycling right supports the workers who handle our material.
Environmental Impact: Non-recyclables can ruin otherwise recyclable items, and including trash with our recycling results in additional environmentally-costly trips to the landfill.
The bottom line: Just because we want something to be recyclable doesn't mean it is. When in doubt, throw it out.
The Following Common Contaminants Should Not Go in Your Curbside Cart:

What currency is used in Hungary?
The official currency of Hungary (country code: HU) is the Hungarian forint, with symbol Ft and currency code HUF.
Things to know about the Hungarian forint
The forint – originally florentinus, taken from the Italian city of Florence – was used in Hungary as early as the fourteenth century. It is subdivided into 100 fillér, although due to the effects of inflation one fillér is now virtually worthless and the fillér coins are no longer in circulation.
The forint was replaced as Hungary's currency but reintroduced following World War II after hyperinflation crippled the pengő used during and prior to the war.
As a member of the European Union, Hungary should, at some point, adopt the euro as its national currency. Since Hungary has not yet joined ERM-II (a requirement for euro adoption), the single currency is unlikely to be used in Hungary prior to the 2020s. In a survey of public opinion by the European Commission in 2015, 60% of Hungarians were in favour of replacing the forint with the euro.
Hungarians are mostly concerned with the value of their currency against the euro, since nearly 80% of Hungarian exports go to the euro area. Since the euro's introduction in 1999, the EUR/HUF exchange rate has traded between 227.29 (July 2008) and 326.64 (January 2015).
Against the world's reserve currency, the US dollar, the forint was weakest in October 2000 when USD/HUF reached 317.56. The currency was strongest in July 2008 when USD/HUF fell to 143.39.

What are USD to HUF forecasts?
11 MayAccording to FX analysts, the USD to HUF exchange rate has been volatile in the last three months. In mid-May, the exchange rate was at 339.7, which is 3.3% below the average rate of 351.3 recorded in the past three months. Recent events in Eastern Europe, particularly the war in Ukraine, have led governments in the region to intervene and raise interest rates, including Hungary's central bank, which increased its key interest rate by three-quarters of a percentage point. This move was more significant than expected and was the largest adjustment since 2008.
Economists predict that the US dollar's strength over the past year will eventually reverse in 2023 as the Fed's interest rate hikes cycle comes to an end. However, recent mixed signals from the Fed are causing uncertainty in the market. While the Fed has hinted at a pause in rate hikes, Chair Jay Powell has left the door open for more hikes and disagreed on the need for rate cuts this year. Credit tightening remains a concern for the Fed, and the turmoil in the financial system might be associated with a recession, leading market participants to price rate cuts to stop the bleeding of regional banks and likely the US economy. Hence, FX analysts predict that the USD might continue sideways without a clear path in the short term, and a poor US or global economic performance could help the US dollar increase as a haven currency.

Review: Finding the GCF of Two Numbers
Common Factors
Factors that are shared by two or more numbers are called common
factors.
Greatest Common Factor (GCF)
The greatest of the common factors is called the Greatest Common
Factor (GCF).
To find the greatest common factor, you can make a factor tree and
complete the prime
factorization of both numbers. The GCF is the product of the common
prime factors.

Day 8 – Solving by Completing the Square
Some trinomials form special patterns that can easily allow you to
factor the quadratic equation. We will look
at two special cases:
Review: Factor the following trinomials.
(a) How does the constant term in the binomial relate to the b term
in the trinomial?
(b) How does the constant term in the binomial relate to the c term
in the trinomial?
Problems 1-3 are called Perfect Square Trinomials. These trinomials
are called perfect square
trinomials because when they are in their factored form, they are a
binomial squared.
An example would be x2 +12x + 36. Its factored form is (x + 6)2,
which is a binomial squared.
But what if you were not given the c term of a trinomial? How could
we find it?
Complete the square to form a perfect square trinomial and then
factor.
a. 2 + 12 + b. 2 − 4 + c. 2 − 18 +

STEP 3: Factor the left side, simplify the right side
STEP 4: Solve by taking square roots on both sides

As far as I understand, doing tacet through linked parts makes sense only if different movements are in different files. In this case the whole piece is in one file. Shoudn't use the "extracted" word, by the way.
But the point of my question is: how do I merge those multimeasure rests anyway? No matter if it has anything to do with the tacet or not. Double barlines have nothing to do here, it's all about time changes.

Seeking current comments on AUSD experience, esp. elementary
I will have two children eligible for the Albany schools in the next few years and I'm trying to get a sense of the current experience of parents and students at AUSD.
I've read most of the existing posts on AUSD, but there is not much post-COVID and I've heard that things have changed since then but don't really know what that means.
I would really appreciate if anyone has input on any of the following:
How do you find the general quality of instruction at Albany schools?
What is the average student-teacher ratio (I heard it increased after COVID)?
How is teacher morale?
Any thoughts about how the different elementary schools compare post-pandemic and post renovations?
How do aftercare programs compare for elementary?
Do kids at OceanView have trouble keeping friend groups with more turnover?
People tell me that now inter-district transfer is a possibility. I'd like to stay in Albany but I've heard numerous people state that Berkeley is better for enrichment activities, diversity and other factors. I want to make sure I'm doing my due diligence - has anyone experienced both districts recently and have an opinion about whether it'd be significantly worth it to transfer? | eng | 8b7339e6-f85e-4eb0-bd53-b4139ab37d5e | https://www.berkeleyparentsnetwork.org/questions/seeking-current-comments-ausd-experience-esp-elementary |
It's that time again when the world gathers to discuss the effects of human activity on our dear old planet. The United Nations Climate Change Conference 2022 (COP27), which took place in November in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El Sheikh, came at a time when governments around the world may, understandably, be distracted from the commitments made last year. But the climate situation in Africa remains as pressing as ever.
Consider this sobering statistic: Lake Chad has shrunk by 90% since the 1960s, leading to the loss of livelihood for millions of farmers and herders, and to deadly conflicts as people fight for a share of what is left.
By locating the conference in Sharm El Sheikh, the UN has focused attention on the continent. If participants find time to go snorkelling or scuba diving, the coral reefs in the Red Sea will help bring home the need for committed environmental action.
Even though Africa contributes the least to environmental change, it suffers the greatest consequences, from biodiversity loss and the extreme effects of climate change to poverty, disease and death.
This knowledge has helped shape the agenda at COP27. The countries of the Global North have acknowledged with the creation of the 'loss-and-damage' mechanism that, as they earn hundreds of billions of dollars through harmful production practices, they impoverish millions of Africans who benefit little or not at all from that process.
Right the wrongs
This conference gave the world the chance to think through how to right these wrongs. Photo opportunities and impassioned speeches are not enough. The climate summit's final text proved that governments can come together in solidarity and build trust.
African leaders were ready to fight their corner. As the industrialised nations continue to damage our planet, the continent's forests – the earth's lungs – play a vital part in converting huge amounts of carbon dioxide into oxygen. Africa must therefore continue to demand more compensation from the world's greatest polluters to stop deforestation.
The world cannot continue to pay lip service to issues of climate change. Polluters must support cleaners to ensure that the adverse effects of human activity are minimised | eng | 1de0bbe9-cd56-4885-97bb-0f8f5b8b9fc2 | https://bpcc.org.pl/climate-inequalities-in-the-balance/ |

FACTORS RESPONSIBLE FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT AMONG UNDERGRADUATES
The issue of sexual harassment has been
addressed in the realm of violence against women. Violence against women is a
universal, historical and common phenomenon. Studies conducted across the globe
have revealed that violence against women is the most common and widely spread
problem faced by women and girl in all culture. Thus it transcends income,
class, race and ethnicity. Such violence relegates millions of women and girls
to the margin of society where their rights and safety are denied.
Female students in Nigeria colleges and universities
have unique experiences of sexual harassment from male faculty, staff, and
peers. Though sexual harassment is a global concept that affects virtually
women of all races, ages, and colors Nigerian women experience more elusive
types of harassment. In other countries or cultures, sexual harassment is a
behavior that is generally unacceptable in any public setting. Nigerian society
does not accept the concept of harassment and so does not perceive harassment
as evil or a violation of women's right. In some State for instance, sexual
harassment was indirectly legitimized by teaching and nonteaching staff.
According to the 2013 United Nations
global review of available data (UN), 35 percent of women worldwide have
experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or
non-partner violence (UN, 2013). The same study has revealed that some national
violence studies shows that 70 percent women have experienced violence in their
life time. In similar fashion the world health organization (WHO) studies has
confirmed that violence against women, affects more than one third of all women
globally (WHO, 2013). The absence of a minimum age for sexual consent and
marriage exposes children to partner violence in some countries. Globally, at
least one in three women and girls have been beaten or sexually abused in her
lifetime. Violence against women expressed in multifarious sort; from
psychological intimidation and coercion to severe physical violence. Physical, sexual and psychological violence occurring within
the general community: including rape, sexual abuse, sexual harassment and
intimidation at work, in educationalinstitutions and elsewhere, trafficking in
Women, and forced prostitution. Physical, sexual and psychological violence
perpetrated or condoned by the State wherever it occurs. Despite a number of
international legal interventions, violence against women remained to be
achallenge for the realization of women's human rights (Elegbeleye,
2016).
Sexual harassment is the most common form of sexual
victimization. In spite of the importance of this topic in the social context
we live in, Sexual harassment is a cankerworm that has eaten deep into the
fabric of the society. The menace of sexual harassment has become widespread in
recent years. It has also assumed different natures from place to place. Sexual
harassment is any non-consensual sexual contact or sexual threat. Sexual
contact includes (but is not limited to) unwelcome sexual behavior like kissing,
and/or intentional touching of another person's sexually sensitive parts
(breasts, buttocks, genital area, groin or inner thigh, or the clothing
covering these areas), and any other unwelcome sexual behavior (Adedokun,
(2014)..
Some number of factors that are responsible for female
students being sexually harassed by male lecturers. These include lust, pursuit
of happiness, lack of norm of morality, lack of conscience, pursuit of
pleasure, lack of temperance, passion, habit, value, personality disorder, inferiority
complex, poverty, indecent dressing,immaturity,
cheapness, cohabitation, abuse of power, and suffering from demonology.
Previous studies among students of Nigerian tertiary institutions have reported
cases of sexual harassment. It was found out that close to one half of the
subjects had been victims of sexual harassment and 67.9 percent of the subjects
thought that harassment on campus was a serious problem occurring at a rate
sufficient to warrant some concern and official action. Some report show the
cases of sexual harassment that exist among tertiary institutions students. The
study noted that a female undergraduate student was harassed in one of the
tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
Most sexual harassment in higher institution revolve
around a combination of factors: individuals who are predisposed to reacting
physically when confronted with the need to discipline oneself, environmental
circumstances within their school system, social isolation and neglect among
students, lack of support from other students and lack of social and economic
power. Emotional immaturity is considered to be the greatest cause of
destructive behavior Abati (2016). The students are unable to cope, because of
immaturity, situations and stress that occur generally throughout society.The males are more demonstrative. A male
student may use the advantage of being more intelligent than his female
course-mate to make sexual advances to her before helping her out of an
academic problem. More so, use of campus gang and secret cults has been known
to serve as instruments of sexual harassment of students in tertiary
institutions (Abati, 2016).
However, it will be naive for anybody to believe
that it is only males who harass females. Accusing fingers pointing at males do
not exonerate the females from this societal malaise. The only reason why it
may not be easily discerned that a female is actually harassing a male is that
females are more subtle in their approach. Females also harass men by their
indecent way of dressing. Some female students sexually harass their male
lecturers. They do not attend lectures, preferring to consult with the
lecturers privately. They know the power they possess and they exploit this to
the fullest. They flaunt themselves and taunt the lecturers into sacrificing
their conscience and integrity on the altar of immorality. It may sound absurd
that females can sexually harass fellow females, but it does happen. The case
of lesbians is rampant in higher institutions. The incidences of lesbians are usually
tied to the wrong moral upbringing of the girls but it is a form of sexual
harassment. It does not necessarily begin in adulthood; it may begin as early
as middle childhood. Hardly a day passes in Nigeria today without stories and
reports of sexual harassment in tertiary institutions in Nigerian newspapers.
According Abati (2016) sexual harassment as a
phenomenon affecting the wellbeing of members of an organization came to be
recognized in the 1970s. While it was mainly associated with situations in a
traditional workplace, incidents constituting sexual harassment in structures
that feature more mixed organizational relationships also came to be
highlighted. One such structure is the educational institutions. Sexual
harassment in a university setting worldwide is quite pervasive. It is on this
backdrop the study assess factors responsible for sexual harassment among
undergraduates in Ekiti State University.
Statement
of the Problem
Sexual
harassment has posed a tremendous challenge to Nigeria students and this
problem has affected their effectiveness in their various academic fields.
The problem of sexual harassment among
students from Ekiti State University ranged from stress related symptoms such
as loss of memory to self blame, lack of trust and concentration in class.
Changes in the lifestyles of the victims include non-attendance of classes as
well as cancellation of courses. The types of sexual harassment and the forms
as well are extremely widespread at universities and everywhere in the
community. Sexual harassment can be devastating and most sexual harassments
have nothing to do with flirtation or sincere sexual or social interest. Rather
it is offensive, often frightening and insulting to women. Women are often
forced to leave universities to avoid sexual harassment and some individuals
might experience serious psychological, social, educational and emotional
–related problems. Sexual harassment does not happen because women dress
provocatively or initiate sexual activity in the hope of getting promoted or
advancing their careers. Victims of sexual harassment vary in physical
appearance, type of dress and behaviour. Female students who are sexually harassed by
their male classmates, do not finish their work because they will be pestering
around. Sexual harassment makes universities a dangerous place to be for female
students.
Another problem is the effect of sexual harassment
on academic performance whichthe female
students suffers. The female students find it very hard to concentrate on their
work. Some even lose interest in studying and transfer to new universities or
simply leave school as a result of hopelessness and pregnancy if they had
unsafe sex with their perpetrators. Cementing these experiences is Astin's
theory of student involvement, which states that sexually harassed students may
display avoidance behaviour which includes the environment that promotes such
behavior. Based on the above problem, the students would provide solution to
the research question of this study
Research
Questions
The following research questions were raised;
i.What
are factors responsible for sexual harassment In Ekiti State University.
ii.What
is the effect of sexual harassment among the male and female undergraduate
students in the tertiary institutions in Ekiti State?
iii.What
is the level of sexual harassment among undergraduate students in the different
tertiary institutions in Ekiti State?
Purpose of the Study
The purpose of this study is to assess factors
responsible for sexual harassment among undergraduates in Ekiti State
University. Specific the purpose is to:
·To examine the prevalence of sexual
harassment in Ekiti state university?
·To examine the difference in the sexual
harassment experienced by undergraduate students in Ekiti state university?
·To find out the extent of sexual harassment
experienced by male to female students, male to male student, female to female,
male lecturer to female student and female student to male lecturer in Ekiti
state university
·To provide possible solution to the

3.There is no significant relationship
between indecent dressing and sexual harassment.
4.There is no significant relationship
between poverty and sex harassment.
Significance
of the Study
It was hoped that the study would enable policy
makers to create or improve policy initiatives that protect the rights of
female student in Ekiti State University. Also, through this study, higher
education institutions in the continent of African especially in Nigeria may
establish prevention and intervention programs that would address the needs of
the female student's victims as well as protect them from future attacks.
The study would enable the students to know factors
responsible for sexual harassment andhow
to prevent it. It would also educate students why they should dress well in
order to avoid sexual harassment.
The study would serve as a guide to students who may
want to carryout research on similar topic. Finally, the study would add to
existing literature andserve as
reference material for other researchers.

HR Best Practices for 2023
As the world continues to grapple with the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies are rethinking their HR strategies to better support their employees. Here are some key HR best practices to consider in the coming year.
Remote Work Policies
With the widespread adoption of remote work, it's important for companies to have clear policies in place to support their distributed workforce. This can include guidelines for communication, collaboration, and expectations for remote employees. Additionally, companies should provide the necessary tools and resources for remote workers to be successful, such as a reliable internet connection and the appropriate technology.
Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives
Diversity and inclusion are crucial for creating a positive and inclusive work environment. Companies can take various steps to promote diversity and inclusion, such as implementing diversity training, setting diversity targets, and creating employee resource groups. Additionally, companies should regularly evaluate their hiring and promotion practices to ensure equal opportunities for all employees.
Employee Development Programs
Investing in employee development is important for both individual employees and the overall success of the company. This can include training and mentorship opportunities, as well as support for employees to pursue further education or certifications. Additionally, companies should provide regular performance evaluations and opportunities for career growth and advancement.
Overall, implementing these HR best practices can help companies create a supportive and inclusive work environment for their employees. This can lead to increased productivity, job satisfaction, and retention, ultimately benefiting the success of the business.

We're Just Rediscovering a 19th-Century Pandemic Strategy
A few years ago, when I still had confidence in our modern ability to fight viruses, I pored over a photo essay of the 1918 flu pandemic. How quaint, I remember thinking, as I looked at people bundled up for outdoor classes and court and church. How primitive their technology, those nurses in gauze masks. How little did I know.
I felt secure, foolishly, in our 100 additional years of innovation. But it would soon become clear that our full-body hazmat suits and negative-pressure rooms and HEPA filters mattered little to Americans who couldn't find N95 masks. In our quest for perfect solutions, we'd forgotten an extremely obvious and simple one: fresh air. A colleague joked, at one point, that things would have gone better in the pandemic if we still believed in miasma theory.
Miasma theory—discredited, of course, by the rise of germ theory—held that disease came from "bad air" emanating from decomposing matter and filth. This idea peaked in the 19th century, when doctors, architects, and one particularly influential nurse, Florence Nightingale, became fixated on ventilation's importance for health. It manifested in the physical layout of buildings: windows, many of them, but also towers erected for the sole purpose of ventilation and elaborate ductwork to move contaminated air outdoors. Historic buildings still bear the vestigial mark of these public-health strategies, long after the scientific thinking has moved on.
The obsession with ventilation—and miasma theory in general—was indeed wrong when it came to pathogens such as cholera and yellow fever that we now know spread through other means (water and mosquitoes, respectively). But it did make sense for the diseases that invisibly stalked people through 19th-century air: measles, tuberculosis, smallpox, influenza—all much diminished as threats in the 21st century. "We've gotten so good at preventing so many diseases, there's been a loss of knowledge and a loss of experience," Jeanne Kisacky, the author ofRise of the Modern Hospital, says. Science is not a simple linear march toward progress; it also forgets.
Today, amid a pandemic caused by a novel airborne virus, these old ideas about ventilation are returning. But getting enough schools and businesses on board has been difficult. Fixing the air inside modern buildings, where many windows don't or barely open, means fighting against the very nature of hermetically sealed modern buildings. They were not built to deal with airborne threats. Nineteenth-century hospitals were.
That era saw the rise of well-ventilated "Nightingale pavilions," named after Florence Nightingale, who popularized the design in her 1859 book, Notes on Hospitals. As a nurse in the Crimean War, she saw 10 times more soldiers die of disease than of battle wounds. Nightingale began a massive hygiene campaign in the overcrowded hospitals, and she collected statistics, which she presented in pioneering infographics. Chief among her concerns was air. Notes even laid out exact proportions for 20-patient pavilions that could allow 1,600 cubic feet of air per bed.
Each pavilion was a separate wing, radiating from a central corridor. And it had large windows that faced each other, which allowed a cross breeze to blow between the beds. The windows stayed open no matter the weather. There were stories, Kisacky told me, of hospitals in winter where "the patients are closing the windows, and the nurses are opening them. And the doctors come and knock the glass out to make sure they stay open." In some pavilions, a central fireplace heated the room, so that contaminated air rose out of the ward via the chimney effect. That heat might have been nice in the winter but "they would run fires in the fireplaces in August to keep the air moving," Kisacky said. "You wouldn't want to be the patient in the bed closest to that."
The pavilion-plan hospitals formalized the fear of "bad air" in hospital design, but the idea is much older. The Greek physician Hippocrates warned in the fifth century B.C. that bad air was the cause of pestilence. People in the Middle Ages believed some version of this too. The word miasma, which dates to the 17th century, comes from the ancient Greek for "pollution." In the 19th century, the fear of outbreaks fueled new sanitation campaigns to rid cities of miasma.

Homes needed ventilation as well. In Victorian England, reformers successfully fought a window tax that penalized large windows, says Henrik Schoenefeldt, an architectural historian at the University of Kent. Bigger windows meant better ventilation. One doctor, Schoenefeldt told me, even railed against small windows as a "crime" that was killing people. When I was Zooming with another historian of architecture, Harriet Richardson Blakeman of Edinburgh College, she pointed her webcam up toward the ceiling. Above the door was a grate, which ventilated the room that had become her office in her Victorian-era home. (Blakeman thinks the grate may have actually been added some decades after the house was first built, as ventilation continued to be a concern.)
The massive growth of cities in the 19th century also sparked the creation of bigger and more elaborate public buildings, which meant the creation of bigger and more elaborate ventilation systems in new museums, prisons, and courthouses. "There are new types of buildings being invented to respond to urbanization," Alistair Fair, an architectural historian also at Edinburgh College, says. This was a time of innovation in ventilation too. In these complicated buildings, simple windows and chimneys would no longer do. Instead, intake vents were installed, as were ducts that wove through the walls and floors.
A famous example is the Palace of Westminster, in London, whose construction began in 1840. The building's architect consulted with a doctor, David Boswell Reid, and Reid suggested extensive revisions to the architectural plan to improve ventilation. The two iconic towers of Westminster—the Victoria Tower and the one that holds Big Ben—are both also ventilation towers that helped draw warm, stale air out of the buildings. Reid further insisted on an expensive third tower, the Central Tower, for the sole purpose of ventilation. The ventilation system as a whole, which also included mechanical fans, valves, and a series of air chambers in the basement, accounted for a quarter of the building's costs. Physically, too, "that system, when it was completed, took up about a quarter of the entire building," said Schoenefeldt, who has extensively studied historical ventilation in Westminster.
The system's physical remnants are still in the building, now unused. Even in the 19th century, the building's ventilation did not always work as designed—Reid was a doctor, not an engineer, after all—but the principles of his designs were influential. "The Palace of Westminster was, at the time, the technologically most sophisticated building constructed in Europe," Schoenefeldt told me. Its ventilation system inspired those in the era's new museums, concert halls, and courthouses.
By the late 19th century, scientists were developing the beginnings of germ theory. John Snow had drawn his famous map of a cholera outbreak, which he traced to a single water pump. Louis Pasteur had shown that organisms cannot spontaneously generate in sterilized broth. And Robert Koch had identified the microorganisms that cause tuberculosis, cholera, and anthrax. But germ theory did not immediately do away with the importance of fresh air. "Early understandings of the germ, which emphasized its ubiquitous presence in air and water and its hardiness outside the body, neatly harmonized with already accepted modes of protection," Nancy Tomes, a science historian at Stony Brook University, writes in The Gospel of Germs. The shift, like most paradigm shifts in science, was gradual.
For hospitals, the pavilion style continued into the 1930s, Annmarie Adams, an architectural historian at McGill University, told me. The 1918 flu pandemic struck at a time when germ theory was taking hold but people still recognized the importance of air. Even in modern hospitals today, where hand-washing and disinfection are paramount, the flow of air remains tightly controlled. Infectious patients are put in negative-pressure rooms, which contaminated air cannot escape. Immunocompromised patients are put in positive-pressure rooms, where contaminated air cannot enter. If anything, the flow of air is controlled in ever more sophisticated ways.
Outside hospitals, though, the menace of "bad air" has faded away. Airborne diseases simply don't exist the way they did 100 years ago, Tomes says. Measles and smallpox have been vanquished through vaccines. Tuberculosis is treatable with antibiotics. The common remaining airborne pathogens are the cold and flu, diseases taken so unseriously that you might be docked for missing school or work on account of them. Without deadly airborne pathogens in the literal air we breathe, we've lost an intuitive sense of their invisible danger. And we've lost the relatively simple ways of mitigating that danger. Fresh air became less important; homes and workplaces were sealed up for energy efficiency.
Imagine, Tomes said to me, a sci-fi movie featuring a scary new virus. You would probably picture people protecting themselves with space suits and respirators. "Nobody ever goes to open a window," she said. Who would have thought that the key to fighting this novel coronavirus would be as simple as fresh air? Only everyone 100 years ago.
Before COVID-19 hit last year, Linsey Marr, an environmental engineer at Virginia Tech, was one of the few scientists already studying airborne transmission of viruses. She told me she would read medical textbooks that claimed pathogen-laden droplets from our mouths fell to the ground within six feet. Until recently, however, scientists couldn't measure what remained airborne, because they had no way of collecting delicate live viruses from the air.
There were other signs the textbooks were off, though: Marr knew, based on simple calculations she did with her undergrad students, that droplets of a certain size could linger midair. And papers going back decades suggested that common respiratory ailments such as the flu were indeed airborne, which official medical sources kept downplaying. "I just kind of figured, well, maybe 30 years from now, people will look back at these papers, mine and other people's, and realize, 'Oh yeah,'" she said. "Finally there'll be enough evidence showing that these diseases are really transmitted by breathing in virus from the air."
Then a mysterious new respiratory virus began sickening people in China at the end of 2019. Scientists quickly identified it as a novel coronavirus, but it took several more months for health agencies to acknowledge that COVID-19 spreads through air—a blip in the normally glacial pace of science but a long time in an emergency when cases are growing exponentially. Experts were initially reluctant to label the virus "airborne," because they typically used that term to describe pathogens that linger infectiously in the air for hours, such as measles. The coronavirus doesn't seem to last as long, but it can still transmit through the air when people talk and breathe. The smoking gun, in Marr's view, was a study that found live viruses lingering in the air seven to 16 feet away from patients. Super-spreader events and asymptomatic spread—when people aren't coughing or sneezing—offer additional circumstantial evidence, she said, that the virus is spreading via small aerosoles from breathing and talking.
In July, she was one of 239 experts who signed an open letter to the World Health Organization outlining the evidence for airborne transmission. The WHO eventually acknowledged airborne transmission, as did the CDC, finally, in October. In retrospect, it's remarkable how long it took to say what should be intuitive: A virus that infects the respiratory system spreads through air. "It seems like it would be obvious, right?" Marr said. A 19th-century doctor, who didn't even know what viruses were, might have thought so too.
Still, early advice that focused on hand-washing and sanitizing surfaces has stuck, as evidenced by the hygiene theater that continues to pervade public spaces. Genuine confusion exists about the changing scientific consensus, but so does inertia. Wiping surfaces and erecting plexiglass barriers is easier than installing expensive air filters or, God forbid, reconfiguring a hermetically sealed building's entire ventilation system. Even the CDC's school-reopening guidelines, released just this month, said little about ventilation.
Like so many viruses before it, the coronavirus is likely to be tamed by vaccines. Perhaps soon, ventilation won't matter again. But COVID-19 is a humbling reminder of the value of lost knowledge.
I'm writing this now at my desk, which is in front of a radiator, which is in front of a window. For apartment buildings like mine, built in the early 20th century, this is by design. The radiator runs too hot, so that residents can keep the window open for ventilation. (I am indeed too hot. The window is open.) This quirk of old building design went viral months agoin a collective aha moment. This thing that never made sense actually makes sense! Like many old buildings, my apartment has pipes that somehow always need to be repaired. I remember going downstairs one day to find a giant trench dug out in the lobby, where a steam radiator had exploded. And in the past year of working from home, I have cursed the lack of central AC and the overwhelming heat of the radiators.
But the window is open today. The air is good. This is a building designed in a time of airborne pathogens. | eng | 622f976d-0c28-439d-b3ae-17203d8dbba2 | https://www.thecoronavirusreport.earth/everything-else/were-just-rediscovering-a-19th-century-pandemic-strategy/ |

smelly truck...
lately, I've notice my truck kinda smells. It smells like burning wire insulation, or melting rubber. I 've cut my exhuast down so it dumps right in front of the axle...could this be melting stuff? All my aux. wires are fused, and of sufficent size, so they shouldn't be getting hot. Maybe it's just my imagination, but any ideas on what to check for or look at?
Most of the wire connections are with insulated connectors, and for the most part, don't have heat shrink on them because they are inside. I have got some wires held together as a bundle with tape, might wanna check those.
Didn't think so the parking brake cable, so I'll check that. I'm pretty sure it has to do something with the engine being on, as I was just out vaccuming it out with the radio on and no smell. | eng | e170204a-ddc6-4a15-ba7e-8a6c14c8a0d4 | https://www.streetsource.com/threads/3584/general-discussion-smelly-truck |
BGCBigs Virtual Mentoring Program
The Cause
Mentoring provides children and youth with a caring adult mentor who will become a mentor support – that is, an important person in their life who they can seek guidance from and rely on for support. In the context of this relationship, the young person will increase their protective factors. These are traits and skills that mitigate risk and enhance healthy development and well-being for youth and include resilience, social-emotional skills, executive function and social connections.
BGCBigs adapted to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic and generated virtual programming and in March/April 2020, BGCBigs conducted wellness surveys with 2230 families to address the greatest needs for our youth and community due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The results of these surveys showcased a strong need for virtually programming and virtual tutoring. Over the summer of 2020, we launched virtual educational programming to our club communities and offered new virtual opportunities for our mentoring matches to meet. This quickly became a popular program for children to feel connected to their community during a time of physical isolation.
To combat the learning loss and isolation children have faced over the pandemic, our club will implement programing that will allow children to work as a team to come up with creative solutions for a variety of problems in science, engineering, and mathematics. Our programing will aim to support children and youth in the attainment of key academic skills and allowing them to learn and experiment in a respectful, inclusive, and engaging environment.
Who Will it Benefit?
During the past year, we have seen a dramatic increased need to virtual mentoring and tutoring, and believe that we will be working with a hybrid virtual and in-person mentoring and tutoring program in the long term. This means that setting up this program right now is important to ensure the success in future years. Virtually we can provide programming to communities we have never been able to reach in the past. BGCBigs holds partnerships with over 40 schools in Edmonton and surrounding area participating in our in school mentoring programs. We also leverage these relationships to draw in new students who may currently not participate in our club or mentoring programming. Virtual programming allows us to not be limited to our immediate communities and open the door for us to serve a greater number of kids in our community.
Through virtual tutoring, our children and youth receive academic mentoring related to literacy, math and others areas as needed. In school mentoring is a vital service for many children and youth as our kids and families are learning online today more than ever. The COVID-19 pandemic has increased pressures on our teachers to fill learning and social gaps, all while learning new policies, procedures and systems. Our partnerships with our schools and teachers will be key to our programming and ensuring that our kids don't fall through the gaps when learning online or in person attending school. Tutoring and homework support provided by BGCBigs elevates the pressures on our teachers and provides students the best chance to improve their academic skills and become more confident in their abilities to achieve success in school. | eng | 6c542e5a-2a8d-44d8-b5c9-6ff8d4cba5d0 | https://fieldlawcommunityfund.com/ideas/bgcbigs-virtual-mentoring-program/ |

Chinese Reign Marks
Interpreting Ming and Qing reign marks
Anthony Gray
The practice of painting marks on porcelain on a regular basis was established during the Xuande reign near the beginning of the Ming period, in the early 15th century. The mark usually consisted of the reign title of the emperor and the name of the dynasty. The Qing dynasty adopted this practice which continued for 500 years, enjoying a brief revival in 1915.
Ming Dynasty Marks
The style of writing of Qing reign marks varies, but can be separated into two broad divisions within which there are further sub-divisions.
In the first division written in 'kai-shu' (regular or modern script), the mark consists of six characters written in two columns of three characters. It is read from right to left and in descending order. The first character reads 'da' (great), followed by 'qing' (pure), the official name of the alien Manchu dynasty. This is followed by the two characters giving the reign title of the ruling emperor. The fifth character reads 'nian' (year) and the final character reads 'zhi' (made/manufactured).
The mark below should be read as follows:
This translates as "made in the reign of Kangxi (reign title of the second Qing emperor) in the Great Qing dynasty".
The second broad division of reign marks is written in 'Zhuan' (archaic seal script). It reflects the eighteenth century's obsession with the archaic style. The seal script reign marks are translated in exactly the same way as in the 'kai-shu' script.
The Kangxi reign mark in seal script reads;
As Qing dynasty emperor succeeded emperor styles of marks varied and some of these variants deserve attention.
The reign marks of Shunzhi (1644-1662), the first Qing emperor, are known to be on a rare group of violet-blue glazed dishes. However, the practice of writing the mark on the base of an artefact only became common in the Kangxi period (1662-1722). In the early part of this reign conditions were unsettled in China. and the use of reign marks on porcelain was prohibited. The prohibition must either have been rescinded or ignored because large quantities of non-imperial commercial wares with the Kangxi mark have survived.
The majority of Kangxi marks can be divided into three chronological groups on the basis of their calligraphy, provided allowances are made for the style, shape and size of the object to which the marks are applied. Large, bold, freely written marks are rather loose and untidy. The calligraphy of the third group tends to be precise, tighter, rather small and less 'free' than the other two groups. The third style is especially common on a small group of imperial wares usually small in size and of superb quality; for example the 'peach bloom' pieces, with their rich but subtle copper-derived glaze and the 'month cups'. These small fine pieces were probably produced later in the reign.
Another well-known group of the late Kangxi imperial pieces exhibit a character variant. These pieces decorated in famille-rose enamels have the 'kai-shu' character 'nian' replaced by 'yu' (imperial). They are believed to have been decorated at the Peking Palace workshops rather than at Jingdezhen, where most of the Qing imperial wares were produced and decorated.
One suspect belief is that when a piece has a Kangxi mark written in three columns of two characters rather than two columns of six, it may be Yongzheng.
'Zhuan' archaic seal script marks do appear on some pieces of Kangxi porcelain but only become common in the succeeding reign of Yongzheng (1723-1735). As previously stated, they are a reflection of the self-conscious archaism of the age. They are also frequently associated with specific shapes and glazes.
Ching Dynasy Marks.png
Vases from the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, which are inspired by archaic forms and have cervine or elephant-head handles, often have 'Zhuan' seal marks. The marks appear on the base in underglaze blue or are incised or moulded. Seal marks were often used on certain types of glaze including those similutating bronze, iron and on robin's egg – the archaic influence again.
The archaic seal mark really came to prominence on an even greater range of ceramic wares in the Qianlong period (1736-1795), largely ousting the regular script. Ceramic production at the Imperial kiln was enormous in the eighteenth century, it has been suggested that the painting of reign marks was entrusted to a very few calligraphers. The study of marks found on Yongzheng and Qianlong porcelain reveals certain distinctly recognisable hands.
Qianlong seal marks are often written in iron-red or gilt as well as underglaze blue. They can also be incised, stamped or moulded in relief. On a small group of porcelain, the so-called 'Gu yue' wares, puce and overglaze blue enamel marks appear. Seal marks can be found in a cartouche on the neck of a vase, where the seal has been broken up and is presented in a horizontal format from right to left.
The details of the calligraphy depend on the method used to apply the mark. These details also altered from one reign to the next, and sometimes these anachronistic quirks indicate if the mark is contemporary with the period rather than being nineteenth century or later. For example, during the Qianlong period, the six character 'zhi' (manufactured) when written in underglaze blue should have a small trident with five prongs. In the copies we usually find only three prongs. In the execution of the water radical of the Qing character there are similar anomalies in style that betray a later date. In genuine pieces the size of the seal should be in proportion to the base upon which it is written and the rows of the characters tend to be regular. The marks of the Yongzheng period often have a greater elegance than those of the Qianlong period, which can appear stilted. One common feature of the nineteenth century copies of the earlier Qing reigns, is that the characters are composed of 'hollow lines' filled with watery interiors, which are easily seen with a magnifying glass. These 'hollow lines' result from inferior mixing of the cobalt blue. It is also believed that the cobalt available in the nineteenth century was not of such good quality.
Comparing the underglaze-blue seal marks of the various Qing emperors, one can recognise distinct changes. These are especially noticeable in the 'qing' character and again, more prominently, in the water radical of this character. Typical forms of writing the water radical are shown below: | eng | 8f9cb1de-86c5-4895-b2c7-c792a83a7108 | https://www.chinese-porcelain-art.com/pages/articles-top-level/antique-chinese-ceramics-and-works-of-art/first-article/ |
Awareness Ribbon Colours & What Each One Means

The ribbon symbol has been adopted by many charities to raise awareness, each using a different colour to represent their specific medical condition or issue. The most recognised would probably be the red ribbon symbol which is worn in support of those with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and the pink ribbon symbol for breast cancer.
Here is a list of the different coloured ribbon awareness symbols and what each one represents:

Fourth Week in Lent, Thursday, March 31, 2022
Isaiah 43:1-7 Now this is what the LORD says. [God] created you, people of Jacob; [they] formed you, people of Israel. [God] says, "Don't be afraid, because I have saved you. I have called you by name, and you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. When you cross rivers, you will not drown. When you walk through fire, you will not be burned, nor will the flames hurt you. This is because I, the LORD, am your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour. I gave Egypt to pay for you, and I gave Cush and Seba to make you mine. Because you are precious to me, because I give you honour and love you, I will give other people in your place; I will give other nations to save your life. Don't be afraid, because I am with you. I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west. I will tell the north: Give my people to me. I will tell the south: Don't keep my people in prison. Bring my sons from far away and my daughters from faraway places. Bring to me all the people who are mine, whom I made for my glory, whom I formed and made." (New Century Version (NCV))
Loving Divine Family,Divine Family, thank you for calling us to return to you. Thank you for holding us as precious. We feel your honour and love for us. Thank you for reminding us not to be afraid because you are with us.
We hear your voice on the wind, LORD. Life-giving Spirit moves across the land calling all to come together. We gather and feel you embrace us. We respond to you as you call our names. Our hearts leap for joy!

Key Takeaways
Simple ingredients and supplies from any kitchen can be used to make candy hookah tips.
Different candy flavors can be chosen to create personalized hookah experiences.
Candy tips should be rinsed with warm water and scrubbed with a toothbrush to clean them.
Gather the necessary ingredients and supplies
Now, you're going to need a few things to get started on your candy hookah tips. First, let's talk about alternative ingredients for making candy hookah tips. Instead of using traditional hookah tips, you can use candy sticks or straws as a fun twist. These alternatives not only add a pop of color to your hookah experience but also infuse a sweet flavor into each puff.
Next, you'll need to gather a few supplies. Make sure to have a pair of scissors on hand to cut the candy sticks or straws to your desired length. Additionally, grab some aluminum foil to create a makeshift hookah tip holder. This will keep your candy tip secure and prevent any mishaps during your smoking session.
Once you've enjoyed your candy hookah, cleaning and maintaining the tips is crucial for future use. Simply rinse the candy tips with warm water to remove any residue. If there are stubborn stains, a gentle scrub with a toothbrush should do the trick. Allow the tips to air dry completely before using them again.
Now that you have gathered all the necessary ingredients and supplies, let's move on to the fun part – choosing your preferred candy flavors.
Choose your preferred candy flavors
To create a truly delightful experience, let's dive into selecting the flavors of candy that'll make your hookah smoking session absolutely unforgettable. As a hookah enthusiast, you've got a wide range of popular candy flavors to choose from. From fruity options like watermelon and strawberry to indulgent choices like chocolate and caramel, the possibilities are endless. Experiment with different combinations to find your perfect flavor profile.
Now, let's talk about enhancing the candy flavor in your hookah smoke. One tip's to mix different candy flavors together to create a unique blend that suits your taste buds. For example, combining a citrusy candy with a creamy candy can result in a refreshing and smooth smoke. You can also try adding a few drops of flavor enhancers, like mint or vanilla extracts, to intensify the candy flavor.
As you explore the world of candy-flavored hookah, remember to consider personal preferences and experiment with different combinations. With the right candy flavors and a little creativity, your hookah smoking session will be a sensory delight.
Now, let's move on to preparing the candy mixture and transforming these flavors into a delectable hookah experience.
Prepare the candy mixture
To start, you'll need to melt the candy using one of the various candy melting techniques available. One popular method is to use a double boiler, where you place the candy in a heatproof bowl and then place that bowl over a pot of simmering water. This gentle heat will melt the candy without burning it.
As the candy begins to melt, you'll notice its sweet aroma filling the air, creating a mouthwatering atmosphere. Stir the candy occasionally to ensure even melting and to prevent any clumps from forming. Once the candy has completely melted and achieved a smooth consistency, you're ready to move on to the next step.
But wait! The candy mixture has alternative uses beyond just being a hookah tip. If you want to get creative, you can pour the melted candy into molds to create delightful candy shapes. These can be enjoyed as standalone treats or used as decorative elements for desserts and cakes. The possibilities are endless!
Now that you've prepared the candy mixture, it's time to mold it into hookah tip shapes.
Mold the candy into hookah tip shapes
Shape your candy mixture into alluring, swirling coils that mimic the hypnotic smoke patterns of a mystical hookah dream. To achieve the perfect consistency for your candy mixture, you'll need to consider the different types of molds available.
Silicone molds are a popular choice as they allow for easy removal of the candy tips once they've hardened. They come in various shapes and sizes, including traditional hookah tip shapes or even intricate designs like flowers or stars.
Another option is using metal molds, which can add a unique touch to your candy hookah tips. Experiment with different molds to find the ones that suit your preferences and create the desired aesthetic.
When molding the candy mixture, it's important to work quickly as the mixture can harden fast. Start by lightly greasing the mold with cooking spray or oil to prevent the candy from sticking.
Carefully pour the candy mixture into the mold, making sure to fill it completely. Then, using a small spatula or your fingers, smooth out the top of the candy mixture to create a flat surface.
Allow the candy tips to cool and harden, which usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and thickness of the tips. Once they've hardened, gently remove the candy hookah tips from the molds and let them cool completely before enjoying your flavorful hookah experience.
Let the candy tips cool and harden
As the candy mixture cools and hardens, the mesmerizing swirls of the candy tips come to life, ready to be savored in a flavorful hookah experience. The cooling process is crucial in achieving the perfect texture and consistency for your candy hookah tips. It allows the candy to set and harden, ensuring that it holds its shape when attached to the hookah.
During the cooling process, it's important to be patient and let the candy tips cool completely. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the size and thickness of your candy tips. As the candy cools, you'll notice it transforming from a pliable state to a firm, solid form. This is when you know it's ready to be enjoyed.
To visualize the beauty of the candy tips, take a look at the table below:

Once the candy tips have completely cooled and hardened, you can proceed to the next step, which is attaching them to your hookah. By doing so, you'll be able to fully indulge in the delightful flavors that await you.
Attach the candy tips to your hookah
To complete the mesmerizing experience, simply attach the hardened candy swirls to your hookah and let the flavors transport you to a world of sweet indulgence. But before you do that, it's important to know how to properly clean your hookah after use.
Cleaning your hookah regularly will ensure that you get the best flavor from your smoking sessions. Start by disassembling the hookah and rinsing each part with warm water. Use a brush to scrub away any residue or buildup. After cleaning, let the parts air dry completely before reassembling.
Once your hookah is clean and ready, it's time to enhance the flavor of your hookah smoke. One tip is to experiment with different flavors and combinations. Mix and match flavors to create unique and delicious blends. You can also add fruit slices or mint leaves to the water in the base for an extra burst of flavor. Another way to enhance the taste is to use high-quality charcoal and ensure it's fully lit before placing it on the hookah.
Now that you've attached the candy tips to your hookah and learned some tips for enhancing the flavor, it's time to enjoy the sweet and flavorful hookah experience. Sit back, relax, and let the enticing aromas and delightful flavors take you on a sensory journey.
Enjoy the sweet and flavorful hookah experience
Indulge in the delectable pleasure of a hookah experience bursting with sweet flavors and captivating aromas. When it comes to enjoying a hookah session, there are various ways to enhance the taste and aroma. One popular method is using candy hookah tips, which provide sweet and flavorful alternatives to traditional hookah mouthpieces.
Candy hookah tips are a fun and tasty way to add a twist to your hookah experience. They come in a wide range of flavors, such as strawberry, watermelon, and mint, allowing you to customize your session according to your preferences. These candy tips not only add a burst of sweetness but also infuse the smoke with enticing aromas, creating a truly delightful experience for your taste buds.
However, it's important to note that while candy hookah tips offer a unique and enjoyable experience, there are some health concerns associated with them. The sugars and artificial additives in the candy can have adverse effects on your health if consumed excessively. Therefore, it's recommended to use candy hookah tips in moderation and as an occasional treat.
In the next section, we'll explore how you can experiment with different candy flavors and combinations to create your own signature hookah experience. So, let's dive into the world of tantalizing candy flavors and discover the endless possibilities they offer for a truly unforgettable hookah session.
Experiment with different candy flavors and combinations
When it comes to enjoying a hookah session, there's nothing quite like the sweet and flavorful experience it offers. But why settle for the same old flavors when you can take it to the next level by experimenting with different candy flavors and combinations?
Imagine the burst of excitement as you explore unique candy flavors that you never thought would go well with hookah. From tangy sour candies to creamy chocolate treats, the possibilities are endless. Mix and match, creating your own signature combination that'll tantalize your taste buds like never before.
For the adventurous spirits, try combining unusual candy flavors that you wouldn't normally associate with hookah. Who knows, you might stumble upon a surprising blend that becomes your new favorite. The key is to let your creativity flow and embrace the unexpected.
With each puff, you'll be transported to a world of delightful flavors, making your candy hookah experience even more enjoyable. So go ahead, grab your favorite candies and start experimenting.
And when you've perfected your candy hookah tips, don't keep them to yourself. Share the joy with your friends and let them experience the wonder of these unique creations. After all, good things are meant to be shared. So gather your friends, grab your candy hookah tips, and embark on a flavor-filled journey together.
Share your candy hookah tips with friends
Invite your friends over and let them in on the secret of your amazing candy hookah creations. Not only will they be impressed by your unique candy hookah flavor combinations, but they'll also be blown away by the visually appealing designs you create.
When it comes to flavor combinations, the possibilities are endless. You can mix and match different candies to create your own signature flavors. For example, try combining fruity candies like strawberry and watermelon for a refreshing and sweet hookah experience. Or, if you're feeling adventurous, experiment with more exotic flavors like mango and coconut. The key is to find a balance between the different flavors, so they complement each other rather than overpowering one another.
In addition to flavor, the visual aspect of your candy hookah is equally important. Consider using candies of different colors and shapes to create eye-catching designs. Arrange them in patterns or create a gradient effect by layering candies of different shades. You can even add edible glitter or sprinkles for an extra touch of sparkle.
Now that you've mastered the art of making candy hookah tips, it's important to store any leftover candy tips for future use. By following these tips, you can continue to impress your friends with your candy hookah creations time and time again.
Store any leftover candy tips for future use
Don't forget to stash away any extra candy hookah remnants for later – you'll be glad you did when a craving strikes! Storing candy tips for future use is a smart move that ensures you never run out of sweet indulgence. But what can you do with these leftover candy tips? Let me share some creative ways to make the most of them.
First, let's talk about how to store the candy tips properly. I recommend using an airtight container to keep them fresh and prevent them from absorbing any unwanted odors. You can also separate different flavors by using small resealable bags or compartments within the container.
Now, onto the fun part – using these candy tips in creative ways! One option is to crush them into small pieces and sprinkle them over ice cream or desserts for an extra burst of flavor. You can also melt them down and use the syrup as a topping for pancakes or waffles. Another idea is to mix the crushed candy tips with melted chocolate and create your own unique candy bar.
Remember, don't let those candy hookah tips go to waste. With a little creativity, you can turn them into delightful treats that will satisfy your sweet tooth whenever the craving strikes.

Skip The Walk, Save Their Paws
Any pet owner knows that our four-legged friends love nothing more than a stroll outside during the day. However, uninformed owners could be putting their companions through serious pain and injury.
With the increased temperatures, many are finding ways to enjoy the outdoors. A popular activity for pet owners is a walk with their pet. However, the ground temperature is often overlooked during these hot days- primarily concrete and asphalt. On warm days, the pavement can heat up to dangerous levels for your pets' paws, unbeknownst to those in footwear.
According to TheSprucePets.com, a veterinarian-reviewed advice site for all things related to pets, "despite what one might think, the temperature of the air is not the same as the temperature of the pavement. This means that as it gets warmer outside, the ground can approach scalding temperatures that are unsafe for paw pads. Asphalt temperatures can be much hotter than the air temperature (when in direct sunlight with no wind and low humidity), so it's important to be aware of the difference between pavement and air temperatures. Pavement temperatures can be 40 to 60 degrees warmer than air temperatures." This results in pavement temperatures being in the low to mid 100s on days that may feel pleasantly warm.
This doesn't mean that you can't walk your pet during the summer heat. However, it does mean that more thought must be put into it. Rather than walking the animal on the pavement, consider walking on the grass or other surfaces that are poor conductors of heat. Alternatively, put coverings over your pet's paws before taking a walk. If neither of these is an option, you should wait until later in the day when the temperatures begin to fall or try to entertain your pet indoors.
If you are unsure if the pavement is too hot, simply take your hand or bare foot and place it on the pavement for 10 seconds. If you cannot comfortably keep your hand or foot on the pavement for that time, then it is time to avoid it entirely or bring your pet back inside. While it is great to enjoy the sun with your furry best friend, it is more important that the proper precautions be taken so that your pet is not hurt in the process.
So if it comes down to it – skip the walk and enjoy your time with your pet in another way. You will both be thankful that you put their well-being first. | eng | ecaadafb-54d1-4dfb-a09b-e5a88eb52926 | https://poconoupdate.com/skip-the-walk-save-their-paws/ |
Analysis: the pandemic has increased the economic, social and psychological pressures on children
Whether resulting from poverty, discrimination, bereavement or trauma like abuse, neglect or violence, childhood adversity is common and the effects can be devastating. Internationally, it is estimated that roughly 60% of children have exposure to some type of traumatic event and existing data within Ireland shows that trauma is a reality for far too many children.
Schools have a vital role in supporting children and young people through this time of crisis. Forthcoming research shows that the pandemic and resulting school closures have had an enormous impact on the wellbeing of students, teachers and the wider community Ryan Tubridy Show, Sarah Corbett Lynch talks about her series of books to help other children and adolescents who have experienced trauma and loss in their lives
Speaking to educators after the first lockdown, we found that they were deeply engaged and devoted to the students and families they worked with. They reported many challenges for students including isolation, worry, loneliness, self harm and suicide. Some had concerns that their students would be lured into criminal gangs. Many were very concerned for students living in challenging circumstances, including asylum seeking children living in Direct Provision and other marginalised groups.
It is clear from research that schools are more than just places offering intellectual stimulation. They are often a sanctuary and a lifeline for students, offering safety, predictability and routine. It is also evident, now more than ever, that schools need resources to be able to support traumatised children.
Anyone who has experienced a traumatic event knows that emotional trauma hurts. When we experience threat or danger, the body's stress response system kicks into action, initiating a complex cascade of biological changes, which enables us to run or fight for our lives (thefight or flight response) or causes the body to shut down (the freeze response). Jennifer Zamparelli Show, Dr Damien Clarke from Zeminar on how to monitor our children's mental health during these Covid times
But trauma doesn't end when the danger has passed. Unprocessed trauma is held in the body and experienced as viscerally painful, gut-wrenching physical sensations, distressing emotions, and vivid or fragmented sensory memories. Trauma fills us with a deep sense of dread, shame, self-blame, sadness and despair. Following trauma, our relationships are often marked by disconnection and alienation.
Sometimes children manage to bury the painful memories, but they may still carry (faulty) core beliefs that they are inherently bad, unlovable or worthless. They may feel other people cannot be trusted, or that the world is a dangerous and hostile place.
In school, children who have experienced trauma may appear angry and disruptive, spaced-out and inattentive, confused and disengaged. These responses to trauma may seem bizarre or incomprehensible to those who do not understand how trauma and adversity impact mind, body and behaviour. They often cause children to get into trouble, as staff misinterpret them as wilful defiance, a lack of respect or downright laziness. The reality is that these trauma responses are rooted in deep emotional pain to deal with traumatic events with Ella McSweeney and guests Orla Muldoon and Mark Maguire
In recent decades, we have advanced our understanding of trauma and of the conditions that foster healing and transformation. We know that the single most important factor in healing from trauma is having a good network of support. Traumatised children recover in the context of relationships with significant others in their communities – relationships characterised by safety, trust and reciprocity. Schools are vitalin this regard.
Trauma-informed practice is a strengths-based approach based on knowledge and understanding of how trauma affects people's lives. It is centred on six core principles: safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, empowerment, and respect for diversity.
In essence, being trauma-informed means being aware that the experience of trauma is a very real possibility; it is about creating environments that foster a felt sense of safety; understanding the effects of trauma on the whole person, recognising that challenging behaviours actually reflect courageous attempts to cope with trauma. Trauma-informed practice is about maximising a sense of agency by offering choices, collaborating and supporting, whilst being attuned and responsive to cultural, historical, and gender issues.
Understanding and responding to what happens when children are exposed to traumatic experiences is a basic requirement of a healthy school and society
There are a growing number of schools in Ireland and elsewhere that are progressing toward becoming trauma-informed. Teachers in these schools work collaboratively, making adjustments to school pedagogy, policies and practices. They seek to build school cultures marked by compassion and connection, where both students and adults feel safe and enjoy each other's company. Trauma-informed schools support students to regulate overwhelming feelings and emotions, and they adopt restorative and respectful approaches to school discipline.
Throughout Covid-19 lockdowns, teachers have worked hard finding new and imaginative ways of maintaining contact with students and families, including those most marginalised in society. Rather than go back to the way things were, we have the opportunity to 'build back better'. Understanding and adequately responding to what happens when children are exposed to traumatic experiences is a basic requirement of a healthy school and society. As schools reopen, educators will need resources to support students impacted by trauma, and to support each other, as part of broader educational equality endeavours.

Canon PowerShot A310 review
A neatly designed camera that's a good, overall package for someone looking to learn the basics of digital photography, but who isn't too fussed with adjusting things manually. Handy set up of batteries and memory card in one place - Movie function adds an extra dimension, but is difficult to play around with without specific software as it's in AVI format.

Vein Care and COVID-19: What You Should Know
When most people think of COVID-19 and its symptoms, their minds likely go to things like fever, cough, and shortness of breath. However, in serious cases it can wreak even more havoc in the body, including in the veins.
Located in New Hyde Park, New York, the North Shore Vein Center is a nationally-recognized center for excellence under the guidance of Dr. Mark Schwartz and our highly skilled staff. Whether the issue is varicose veins, facial veins, spider veins or more, we offer a variety of minimally-invasive treatments with state-of-the-art equipment for the best possible results.
COVID-19
Originally discovered in China in late 2019, COVID-19 began rapidly spreading around the world by early 2020. Caused by SARS-CoV-2, a type of coronavirus, COVID-19 is typically considered a respiratory tract infection that can attack the upper and/or lower respiratory systems. Its most well-known symptoms are fever, cough, and shortness of breath/trouble breathing, though other problems can also accompany infection like sore throat, fatigue, body aches, and chills. Loss of smell or taste can occur in some people, as well as nausea and diarrhea.
Vein issues
In addition to the more common symptoms, doctors have found COVID-19 can affect the vascular system, including the veins, heart, brain, and blood. While experts aren't exactly sure of all the specifics, they theorize in some people the illness may cause everything from blood clots to heart attacks and cardiac inflammation as the virus attaches to the ACE2 receptors on cells that line the blood vessels.
One group of researchers found blood clots which can severely compromise blood flow in the lungs, brain, heart, and other areas are related to blood vessels that are damaged. This devastation results in a unique healing reaction that was found in patients who had COVID-19 at 30 times greater than normal levels.
Keeping veins healthy
For people diagnosed with severe cases of COVID-19, it is possible treatment with anticoagulants may help prevent serious complications like strokes, deep vein thrombosis, heart damage, and more.
Staying healthy in general and encouraging healthy veins in particular certainly can't hurt, especially since individuals with diabetes, serious heart conditions, and certain other medical ailments may be at higher risk for a more severe case of the illness.
Staying active is key to keeping the veins in good shape. Exercise is important, but so is getting up regularly to walk around if you have a desk job. Strive for a well-balanced diet, including lots of fruits and vegetables which encourage good circulation and healthy vein walls. Finally, don't smoke (or quit if you do). Tobacco smoke's chemicals can thicken the blood while nicotine can result in veins hardening and narrowing | eng | 42d3d0b8-c505-4e8c-b9fd-bebb3f595539 | https://northshorevc.com/vein-care-and-covid-19-what-you-should-know/ |

People say that what we're seeking is a meaning for life.
I don't think that's what we're really seeking.
I think that what we're seeking is an experience of being alive,
so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.

Reputation And Integrity In The Crucible
799 Words4 Pages
By looking at The Crucible by Arthur Miller one can see that the characterization of John Proctor reveals the theme of reputation and integrity, which is important because refusing to tell lies to protect his reputation and stop delirium from spreading throughout Salem.John Proctor states that the woman of Salem who have been locked up for witchcraft:"Excellency, does it not strike upon you that so many of these women have lived so long with such upright reputation"(3.1.305-309). Proctor represents reputation because he would rather die than have his reputation downed to a victimizer. Protecting his reputation motivates John Proctor to deny that witchcraft exists in the village. All he hears is crying out of screams and wailing which is a cause of the Devil 's work: "What 's she doing? Girl what ails you? Girl what ails you? Stop that wailing!" (1.1 620-621). John Proctor is saying that Abigail is crying out in nonsense to protect her by making people think she was cast over by witches rather people finding out about the adultery that she committed . Proctor motivates to learn how the truth can still not matter if it is not what the court wants to hear causing people to be killed and put in jail.
John Proctor chooses to try to hide the affair between him and Abigail Williams , which causes half of the town of Salem going to jail for witchcraft. John is talking to Mary Warren when she is talking to him about the Devil being in Salem and they must find where he is:"IAt the beginning of the play, John Proctor is depicted both as a proud man who kept his affair a secret from the public to protect his name, and an honorable man who built the Salem church. Before Elizabeth Proctor was accused, John Proctor tried to distanceTo begin with, John Proctor was seen as a good citizen. He was well-respected among his neighbors and other people in Salem because of his upright morals. He had an affair with his old servant, Abigail Williams. He tried to keep this hidden from the people to keep his good name. Then, he was accused of practicing witchcraft, so he told the truth about the
John Proctor is a farmer that lives on the outermost part of Salem, MA. John had an affair with Abigail Williams and his wife found out and now does not fully trust him but John still loves his wife. John is stubborn and loving with his wife but is also very aggressive with others that make him mad. John shows stubbornness and love when he
Countless people have learned about the lies and horrors of witches in 1692 during the Salem Witch trials. In The Crucible, a tragedy written by Arthur Miller, it displays the tragedy and wrongful convictions of the townsfolk of Salem. One notable character being John Proctor a well respected upperclassman in Salem who was willing to confess his sins, sacrificing his life for the greater good of his family and friends. There are many reasons people choose to do things in life whether or not they will turn out well in the end. Elizabeth Proctor, John's wife told John to do what he thinks is best, disagreeing with the ideas proposed by Reverend Hale, to confess to the court. Reverend Hale'sWarren Buffett once said, "It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you'll do things differently." A reputation is one of the most important things a person has. It measures one's worth, honor, and integrity - something we all strive for. Our countless endeavors, whether wrong or right, tend to just how much someone values their self-worth. We humans are naturally built to muse upon how others think of us, and this is the basis for our self-conscious pursuit for our reputation and identity. No where is this more apparent in The Crucible. The play, The Crucible, is a homage to many themes, as it dives into the story of The Salem Witch Trial. Preserving one's reputation is a theme exemplified heavily in the book, as almost every character struggles with their identity, which in turn, affects their decisions. Two characters that orchestrate this theme are Reverend Parris and John Proctor. Both Proctor and Parris are especially concerned with their
In Arthur Miller's "The Crucible", John Proctor is our passive protagonist as he tries to save his wife and others that were accused of witchcraft.Unfortunately, his attempt was in vain and his evidence had backfired.His knowledge did not stop the witch trials because of his self-respect, and the children's high reputations, and Abigail's tactful nature.
Published in 1952, during a period of cold war tensions, which culminated in the ideological witch trials of the mcarthy era in America; The crucible by Arthure miller is set in 1692 during the witch trials in salem massachusetts. The author has used allegory to position the reader to draw parrelels betweeen the to time periods and critisize the persecution that occured in both eras. One of the main themes that Miller has used to portray this viewpoint is the representation of personal integrity. Integrity is the quality of having strong moral pronciples.This is acheived through strongly contrasted characterisation of characters such as Abigail williams and and Rebecca Nurse, aswell as the inclusion of textual features such as irony, symbolism
In the play The Crucible by Arthur Miller, the town of Salem is afflicted with hysteria, intolerance, and accusations that lead to death. According to philosopher Aristotle, a tragic hero possesses a tragic flaw, excessive pride, and an inevitable downfall. Protagonist John Proctor illustrates a tragic hero because he is presented as happy, powerful, and privileged, which later leads him to suffer because of his own actions | eng | 816b97d9-5b0b-47fe-a5fd-ffe7a5e049f7 | https://www.ipl.org/essay/Reputation-And-Integrity-In-The-Crucible-F3WJ2FH4AJPR |

CCTV Cable Types - How to Choose the Right One for Your Camera
Today, many of us can install a camera into our home, office, or space. However, few people realize that choosing the right CCTV cables is just as important as selecting the right camera.
Your choice of cable affects the clarity of the sound and video and the system's reliability.
Various types of cables can be used with your surveillance equipment. Your specific equipment will dictate which cables you want to consider.
So, this article will look at different types of cables and their applications.
Let's dive in!
Coaxial Cables and Video Power Cables
Coaxial wires are the oldest type of CCTV wire on our list. They are still commonly used for analog cameras.
Coaxial cables are made with an inner conductor covered by several insulating layers. They also have a jacket and conducting shield wrapped around them to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI).
There are different types of coaxial cables, depending on their purpose. The good news is they are adaptable, can be scaled, are durable, have a 10Mb transfer capacity, easy to install, and are affordable.
In addition, the electromagnetic signals only transmit inside the conductor, so there's no loss of power. Because of this added advantage, installers can put these types of cables next to metallic objects without concern for interference.
Coaxial Cable Applications
Usually, we use coaxial cables when connecting TVs to HDTV antennas or satellite hardware. However, because they can withstand EMI, we can also use coax cables to
Connect high-speed internet from a cable line to a modem
Data transmissions
CCTV
Facilitate commercial software
In short, companies use coaxial cables to connect main cable lines associated with their services to individual properties.
RG59 Siamese Cable
RG59 Siamese Security System cables are the standard for analog CCTV security systems. Siamese cable provides separately insulated wires of power cable and coaxial cable. A single coating usually attaches these two wires.
This allows proper power to be delivered without interfering with the video transmission:
Coaxial cable to connect the camera to the display.
A power cable to give the camera power.
While siamese CCTV wires are the general standard, they have both advantages and disadvantages.
The added powerline simplifies your installation, so you don't need to worry about additional power supplies and cables. They have a good signal, are reliable, and last a long time.
Since both cables have separate insulated cable jackets - it protects them from crosstalk and electromagnetic interference.
RG6 Coaxial Cable
RG6 cable has a heavier gauge wire to make it extra suitable for video. The cable benefits from thicker insulation with shielding layers that slow down video degradation over the cable run.
RG6 cables are the go-to choice for higher definition camera systems.
With more expensive, high-res equipment, you want to ensure that your CCTV cable type doesn't limit the quality you might otherwise obtain.
One thing to note: If you get an RG6 cable, you will also need an 18/2 low voltage wire for your power.
Premade Siamese Cables
Also known as premade CCTV cables, these cables are amongst the most popular choices for analog CCTV cameras and HD over Coax type cameras.
The cables are already preassembled with a BNC connector and cut to a specific length. This means you can take them out of the box and connect them without hassle.
Another bonus is that the premade Siamese cables are less expensive than RG59 siamese or RG6 bulk cables.
Bulk Ethernet Cables
Ethernet cables are used for IP digital cameras. Ethernet cable is built from 4 twisted pairs. The twist reduces signal interference.
The purpose of ethernet cables is to connect things to the network.
If you have a Power over Ethernet (PoE) switch, your ethernet cables can also provide power to your security cameras. This cabling method eliminates the need for a separate power cable for each camera.
You can still use Ethernet cables even if you use an analog security system. However, you will need an HD Video Balun to do it. Video balun will allow connecting an RJ45 Ethernet cable to an RG-59 Siamese cable.
Ethernet Patch cables
These cables are already preassembled with an RJ45 connector and cut to a specific length. This means you can take them out of the box and connect them without hassle. They are very convenient for those who don't have previous experience with cable installation.
Another bonus is that Ethernet Patch cables are less expensive than bulk cables.
What Ethernet Cable Should I Use for IP Cameras?
Cat5 and cat6 are two popular types of PoE cables. Cat is short for 'category.' It refers to the capability of the grade of network wires. These are the wires that connect to your internet service.
Both cat5 and cat6 consist of four twisted pairs and use an RJ-45 connector. RJ45 is the standard connector you see on most ethernet cables.
The main difference is that the cat6 cable is faster than Cat5. However, they are also more expensive.
You simply connect the camera to the display with both types of network wire. The wire will take power through the system. For this reason, PoE wires have a lot of advantages.
Pros:
It saves time on installation and saves energy costs. It also gives you more flexibility in terms of wiring, it's easier to scale your CCTV coverage, and they're cheaper than siamese cables.
Cons:
They can be slow if your existing ethernet cables are damaged. They also don't tend to last as long as siamese cables.
Recommended Ethernet Cable for Security Camera
Security types of cameras have different resolutions. This means they need different bandwidths.
For example, a higher resolution security camera will typically require more bandwidth than an older camera with a standard definition. However, the majority of IP security cameras use under 100Mbps bandwidth.
We can see the remaining bandwidth of Cat5e and Cat6 by looking at the 1080p security camera with 5Mbps bandwidth and the 4K resolution camera with 30Mbps bandwidth.
Depending on its intended use, you have a choice of Ethernet cable for your security camera. For homes and businesses, the best cable is a Cat5e, as you won't need to transmit more than 1,000Mbps, even in 4k resolution.
However, with more extensive network infrastructures, you'd be better off with a Cat6 os higher because it can transmit several Gigabytes of data per second.
Note: You only need to worry about the category of your Ethernet cable if you're using it to carry network data. If you're just using it to convert to a BNC connection for your analog security system, then any category of cable will work.
Optical Fiber
These cables use pure glass to transmit data via light. This is the fastest option of all the cables mentioned. Data travels much faster through light than through electrical wires, which suffer from resistance.
There are two types of fiber: SMF and MMF (single-mode fiber and multi-mode fiber). This has to do with the size of the core, which determines how much data it can transfer, and how fast.
Fiber is hard to beat compared to other cables. It's blazing fast, experiences no electromagnetic interference, has high bandwidth, and can work at long distances. This is the option you want for high-speed, high-definition CCTV that has a very long distance between placements.
However, fiber is expensive. It is delicate and requires more technical know-how than other cables. You will need to invest a lot of manpower to both install and maintain it.

Vancouver Art Gallery became the stage for a dramatic confrontation on Monday when a throng of pro-Palestinian demonstrators signalled their support for Gaza under the watchful eyes of police officers strategically posted on every corner. The rally, orchestrated by the Palestine Youth Movement, was underway when the atmosphere grew terse as several pro-Israeli protesters surfaced to decry the gathering.
As disagreements began to flare, one man passionately waving an Israeli flag vociferously denounced the congregation, bellowing, "Shame on you." This inevitably triggered a round of pushing and shoving, amidst a tirade of insults hurled at each other. Despite the escalating tension, law enforcement effectively maintaned a semblance of order, ensuring the rival groups remained separate.
The gathering had been publicly slammed earlier in the day by Vancouver's Mayor, Ken Sim, in a candid statement lambasting the rally as an endorsement of hate. He asserted, "There is no explanation for murder. There is no justification of terrorism. Hamas is a terrorist organization, full stop." He proceeded to express his absolute denunciation of the abhorrent violence perpetrated over the weekend, including senseless acts of murder, abduction and violation against innocent Israeli citizens.
When confronted with the question of justification for the unexpected weekend strikes by Hamas militants, one impassioned pro-Palestinian demonstrator retaliated, "Do you justify the killing of civilians in Gaza and the bombing of my cousin's building entirely in the last 24 hours? More than 400 have been killed and most of them are civilians and most of them are children. You justify that."
The ongoing conflict was acknowledged even by an Israeli supporter on the scene, who accepted the presence of two perspectives to every story. However, the supporter confessed, "when there are terrorist organizations that are going in and doing what they did to the Israeli people, to me it's just not acceptable." The powerful demonstration and counter-protest illustrated the deeply entrenched sentiments and insurmountable divide that this longstanding conflict continues to fester within global diasporas | eng | 93ca8589-5975-48be-8ee4-28ce34356495 | https://www.westislandblog.com/pro-palestinian-rally-sparks-heated-confrontation-at-vancouver-art-gallery/ |

You have all the qualities necessary to be a good executive except the desire to be one.
You are impelled to personal development rather than to those pursuits that lead to public acclaim.
You are devoid of the domineering or missionary spirit, willing to "live and let live." This gives you a certain detachment that may be interpreted as snobbishness.
You estimate people, not according to their wealth and position, but according to whether or not they interest you.
If they don't interest you, you simply don't bother with them.
You are romantic, but with romanticism you combine a deep sense of loyalty and dependability.
Loyalty holds you in check where conventions would not, for with respect to the conventions you are theoretically scornful, though in actual practice you rarely do anything to violate them.
You are a lover of peace and harmony and will use all your tact and graciousness to avoid a quarrel. Café ¿Sabemos Pedirlo?
You are able in your private life to achieve peace with honor – that is, in your quiet way, you pretty generally get what you want and make the other fellow like it.
In early youth this amounts to stubbornness, but with maturity it develops into fixity of purpose.
You are willing to wait for results, and you know the futility of forcing issues.
Socially, you are gracious and sympathetic, but you don't go out of your way for people.
Your friends seek you.
You are interested in the arts.
You are likely to be associated with artistic people, however, and to be in some way connected with art professionally, perhaps on the executive or directing side of institutions and the like, where your executive ability finds a congenial outlet.

Introduction: Embracing the Green Revolution in Architecture
The world is waking up to the importance of sustainability. The conversation about climate change has shifted from 'if' to 'when,' and in response, every industry is looking for ways to reduce its carbon footprint. Right at the forefront of this eco-revolution is the field of architecture. Sustainable architecture, or green building, is rapidly becoming more than a buzzword. It's a lifeline to a healthier planet and happier inhabitants. In this article, we will dive into sustainable architecture, why it's important, and how you can incorporate it into your own life. Trust me; it's not as daunting as you might think. In fact, it can be a fun and rewarding journey!
Why Sustainable Architecture Matters: More Than Just a Trend
Sustainable architecture isn't just a cool trend or a token for businesses to show they care about the environment. It's a critical response to the urgent challenge of climate change. Buildings account for nearly 40% of global CO2 emissions. That's a big slice of the carbon pie! By designing and building more sustainably, we can significantly reduce this impact. Plus, who wouldn't want to live or work in a building that's healthier, more comfortable, and has lower utility bills?
The Macro View: Transforming Urban Landscapes
The shift towards sustainable architecture isn't just a pipe dream. Cities worldwide are embracing this concept, reshaping their skylines with structures that are as eco-friendly as they are impressive. Take, for instance, the iconic Bosco Verticale in Milan – a pair of residential towers adorned with over 900 trees, 5000 shrubs, and 11000 floral plants. This vertical forest is like a giant air purifier in the heart of the city. Talk about a breath of fresh air!
Countries Leading the Way in Sustainable Architecture
Several countries are leading the way in sustainable architecture, with notable projects that exemplify the principles of green building.
Denmark: Copenhagen's 8 House
Denmark, especially its capital, Copenhagen, is often hailed as a leader in sustainable architecture. An impressive example is the 8 House, a mixed-use building that integrates residential and commercial spaces in an energy-efficient design. The building's unique figure-eight shape encourages community interaction and allows for excellent daylighting, reducing the need for artificial lighting.
Singapore: Gardens by the Bay
Singapore, a city-state with limited land area, has embraced sustainable architecture with fervor. The Gardens by the Bay is a prime example, with its solar-powered "supertrees" and climate-controlled biomes. The project showcases Singapore's commitment to creating a 'city in a garden.'
Germany: Vauban District, Freiburg
Germany, renowned for its engineering prowess, has put its expertise to use in the Vauban district in Freiburg. This car-free neighborhood features energy-plus homes (buildings that produce more energy than they consume), shared green spaces, and excellent public transportation, making it a model of sustainable urban development.
United States: Bullitt Center, Seattle
The United States is also home to several sustainable architectural marvels. One example is the Bullitt Center in Seattle, touted as the greenest commercial building in the world. It's a six-story structure designed to have a 250-year lifespan and produces more energy than it uses, thanks to a large rooftop solar array. It also features a rainwater collection system, composting toilets, and other green features. Talk about taking sustainability to new heights!
Australia: One Central Park, Sydney
Down Under, Australia is making strides in sustainable architecture, with Sydney's One Central Park as a standout example. The building's striking vertical gardens and mirrored cantilever are aesthetically pleasing and serve practical purposes. The gardens help to regulate temperature, while the cantilever hosts a solar reflector that directs sunlight to shaded areas of the building.
United Kingdom: The Crystal, London
The United Kingdom is no slouch when it comes to sustainable architecture either. The Crystal in London, a sustainable cities initiative by Siemens, is one of the world's greenest buildings. It runs entirely on renewable energy, uses rainwater harvesting, and has electric vehicle charging stations. A futuristic gem indeed!
Canada: The VanDusen Botanical Garden Visitor Centre, Vancouver
Canada, renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, is also embracing green buildings. The VanDusen Botanical Garden Visitor Centre in Vancouver is a testament to this. It's designed to be net-zero energy, equipped with solar panels, geothermal heating, and a living roof. A nature lover's dream come true!
United Arab Emirates: Masdar City
The United Arab Emirates, a country known for its architectural marvels, is also making headway in sustainable architecture. Masdar City, a planned city project in Abu Dhabi, is designed to be a zero-waste, car-free city. The city is powered by renewable energy and is a hub for cleantech companies.
The New Wave: Biophilic Design in Sustainable Architecture
In recent years, the concept of biophilic design has gained traction in the world of sustainable architecture. This design principle seeks to connect people and nature within built environments for enhanced well-being and productivity. It emphasizes using natural light, fresh air, and plant life. Remember how good you feel after a walk in the park? Imagine having that feeling in your home or office!
Promoting Health and Wellbeing
Beyond environmental sustainability, green buildings contribute significantly to human health and well-being. For instance, improved indoor air quality and natural lighting have been linked to increased productivity and reduced stress levels. It's like having a spa day every day!
The Economic Case for Sustainable Architecture
Contrary to what some might think, sustainable architecture isn't just good for the planet—it's good for your wallet, too! While sustainable buildings may require a higher initial investment, the long-term savings in energy and water bills often outweigh the upfront costs. Plus, as demand for sustainable buildings grows, these properties can fetch a higher resale value. It's like the golden goose of real estate!
The Future of Sustainable Architecture
The future of sustainable architecture is bright, with exciting developments on the horizon. The possibilities are boundless, from buildings that can generate more energy than they consume (net-positive buildings) to the use of innovative materials like self-healing concrete or transparent solar panels. As we continue to push the envelope of what's possible, one thing's for sure: the future of architecture is green!
In conclusion, as we face the pressing challenges of climate change, sustainable architecture offers a path forward. It's a way for us to create self sustaining homes and other buildings that are not just places to live or work but spaces that nourish our bodies, minds, and the planet. As we continue to innovate and learn, I can't help but be excited about the journey ahead. Who knows, the next iconic building could be your eco-friendly dream home!
Overcoming the Challenges
Adopting sustainable architecture isn't without its challenges. From regulatory hurdles to a lack of awareness and the need for skilled professionals, there are obstacles to overcome. But hey, no great change ever came without a few bumps in the road, right? As more people recognize the urgency of climate change and the value of sustainable living, these challenges can become stepping stones to a greener future.
How to Implement Sustainable Architecture in Your Own Space
So now that you're hopefully as excited about sustainable architecture as I am, you might be wondering how to incorporate it into your own space. Well, strap on your green-thinking caps, and let's dive in!
Locally-Sourced: Local materials reduce the carbon footprint associated with transporting goods long distances. Plus, you get to support your local economy. It's like getting your cake and eating it too!
Recycled or Recyclable: Materials that can be recycled or are made from recycled goods are great for sustainable construction. It's like giving old materials a new lease of life!
Durability: Durable materials last longer, reducing the need for frequent replacements. No more worrying about wear and tear!
Making the Most of Technology
Technology is a powerful tool in sustainable architecture. From smart thermostats that optimize heating and cooling to energy-efficient appliances, technology can help reduce your environmental footprint while enhancing comfort and convenience. It's like having your own personal eco-butler!
Conclusion: Embracing the Future with Sustainable Architecture
In conclusion, sustainable architecture is not just a trend—it's a paradigm shift in how we conceive, construct and inhabit buildings. It's a design philosophy that respects our planet, maximizes efficiency, and fosters healthier living spaces. And the best part? It's a journey we can all be a part of. So, are you ready to join the green revolution? I promise it's more fun than watching paint dry!
Technology significantly improves energy efficiency, from smart thermostats and energy-efficient appliances to home energy management systems. It can also be used to model and optimize designs for energy efficiency and comfort.
Many aspects of sustainable architecture can be incorporated into existing buildings, such as improving insulation, installing energy-efficient appliances, or setting up a rainwater harvesting system. While some sustainable strategies might be easier to implement in new construction, don't let that deter you from making existing spaces more eco-friendly.
Sustainable architecture can help communities reduce their environmental impact, improve residents' health and well-being, and stimulate the local economy by creating green jobs and utilizing local materials. It's a holistic approach that benefits individual buildings and the community.
So, there you have it, folks! We've covered the why, the how, and the wow of sustainable architecture. As we wrap up, remember that every little step counts. Even small changes can make a big difference. So, why not start today? After all, there's no place like a green home24 thoughts on "Sustainable Architecture: A Guide to the Future of Design | eng | d818cbe4-37bd-4d92-8bcf-f455affae825 | https://ecolifewise.com/sustainable-architecture/ |
ABSTRACT
Biodiesel is a biodegradable, environment friendly, renewable and energy efficiency fuel. It is becoming the most prominent alternative to petro-diesel. Due to current environmental concerns, quality and properties of biodiesel have to be optimized to remove its limitations. The use of oxygenates additives have proved to play such important role. The purpose of this research work was to compare the effects of oxygenates on biodiesel properties such as viscosity, heat content, density, specific gravity, and flash point, pour and cloud point. Tiger and neem oil were extracted from tiger and neem seed and were used to produce biodiesel. The properties of produced biodiesel were studied and compared to ASTM standards. Oxygenates additives (methanol, ethanol and diethyl ether) were added to the biodiesel at different ratios (10%, 20% and 30%) to study their effect on the quality of biodiesel produced. The kinematic viscosity of pure Neem Oil Methyl ester (NOME) and Tiger oil Methyl Ester (TOME) at 400C were found to be 5.582mm2s-1 and 4.317mm2s-1 respectively. The lowest value of kinematic viscosity was seen to be 1.582mm2s-1 for NOME70:30DE and 1.5537mm2s-1 for TOME70:30 DE. The densities of the blends biodiesel were found to be in range of 0.82932- 0.8783g/ml. The heat content and flash point of biodiesel blends were also studied in the experiment. We observed that blending biodiesel with oxygenates can be a very good way to improve the quality and properties of biodiesel.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
Depletion of fossil fuels, increasing in greenhouse effects and evolution in energy demands have led to the search for new alternatives to fossil fuels. Researchers proved that many sources of fossil-fuels around the world are nearly close to their maximum production. This simply means that fossil-fossil is not a sustainable source of energy and there is a limited supply of it (Sivalakshmi, 2011).The only solution to this issue was to look and develop alternatives sources of energy (biofuel). Among biofuels alternatives, biodiesel was found to be the most effective one. Many researches have studied on advantages of biodiesel as biofuel, its production and characterization. 1.1. Biodiesel
Biodiesel is a biodegradable, environment friendly, renewable, energy efficient fuel that is used as a substitute of fossil fuel to solve the crisis in fossil fuel diminution and environmental degradation. It is known that biodiesel has ability to be used as pure (Vijayan V, 2013). However, due to the current concerns on the environment; properties of biodiesel have to be improved in order to reduce problems related to its fuel properties. Because of this, recent researches are not only interested in biodiesel production, but maximization of the biodiesel quality and characteristics.
Therefore, in this project, we will look at how biodiesel properties can be improved. Recent researches have proved that compounds which contain oxygen in their structure can be used to improve the properties of biodiesel. Oxygenates are among the compounds with oxygen in their chemical structure.
Page 2 1.2. Biodiesel over fossil fuel
Currently, production of biodiesel is getting much consideration worldwide. This consideration is due to the fact that it is non-toxic, biodegradable and produces less emission of particulates to the atmosphere. It was reported that any fatty acid sources such as vegetable oil or animal fat oil can be used to produce biodiesel (Elkady, 2009).
It was confirmed that biodiesel is more environmental friendly than fossil fuel. Due to the current issue of climate change, today's world is more caring on environment. To use biodiesel effectively, its environmental hazards have to be minimized as much as possible, as well as its heat content as an alternative source of energy has to be improved. To match these requirements, oxygenates were found to play such roles (Barminas JT, 2013)
1.3. Tigernut
Tigernut oil is a type of oil extracted from tigernut seed. Tigernut was discovered 400 years ago and since then it has been used as human consumption and livestock. Tigernut (plant of Cyperus esculentus) can be found in almost every part of Nigeria. This plant is now cultivated in Northern Nigeria and it can be found in the markets throughout the year. It is known in Nigeria as Aya in Hausa, Ofio in Yoruba and Akihausa in Ibo. It can be found in three different varieties (black, brown and yellow). Yellow variety is the most preferable one because it can be gotten in bigger size and attractive color. Tigernut has many applications including flavoring agent, in ice cream making and others. Most importantly, its composition such as high fiber and starch content makes it to be a good feedstock for biodiesel production. (Gambo, 2014).

Table 1: Composition of dried Tigernut 1.4 Neem seed
Neem oil is type of oil extracted from neem seed. Neem oil is composed of many biologically active compounds. Neem oil has numerous applications such as in soap making (Neem soap), making drugs and so on (Vinod Vijayan, 2013). 1.5 Biodiesel production
Biodiesel is produced by the reaction of transesterification. Transesterication is the process whereby fat or oil reacts with an alcohol in the presence of a base catalyst to form the mixture of esters and glycerol. The presence of excess alcohol as catalyst drives the production of large amount of biodiesel. After the production of methyl ester and glycerol, the next step is filtration where upper layer is collected as methyl ester and lower layer is glycerin. Biodiesel produced contains much content of alcohol and base. Therefore, this biodiesel must be washed with hot water to obtain pure biodiesel (Singh Yadav, 2013) | eng | 2930f6d5-9824-4e3a-8a62-a910977b4b6c | https://projects.ng/project/effects-of-oxygenates-on-neem-and-tigernut-oil-methyl-ester/ |

How Software is Improving EH&S Practices
Software is changing the way EH&S is conducted, improving ease of compliance, and making it more data-driven and user-friendly.
Creating and maintaining a healthy and safe work environment is an essential part of doing business. Thanks to more powerful software tools this has become easier than ever before—a win for businesses and employees alike. For example, in the past, any incidents that might arise would likely be met with stacks of paperwork that would take a significant amount of time to process. In this new era of EH&S, the same incident might be reported on software like SafetyStratus' Incident Management Module, analyzed alongside all other existing data, and end up preventing further similar incidents. The ability to quickly record and analyze critical safety information provides new ways of ensuring workplace safety.
Environmental, health, and safety management is a term that encompasses the measures and processes taken by a company to ensure a safe work environment. In keeping with OSHA's recommended practices for safety and health programs, an effective plan includes practices that aid in preventing workplace injuries and illness, help with legal and regulatory compliance measures, lower the cost of worker's compensation premiums, address social responsibility goals of the company, improve business operations, and keeps workers engaged.[i]
EH&S management software allows businesses to streamline these systems by enabling easier data collection, powerful analysis of the information, and the prescription of consistent follow-up actions. When fully integrated into a company's safety program, EH&S management softwarecan lead to better immediate outcomes and fewer mistakes in the future by highlighting pertinent data to inform procedures.
Maintaining a healthy and safe work environment is an important part of any company's risk management plan. Continually improving upon EH&S processes can lower this risk even further. Technology that can be integrated seamlessly between processes and allow employees easier access to information will be of particular importance as this burgeoning space continues to adapt to advances in workplace safety. A few of the most prominent ways that EH&S software makes a difference are:
Streamlined Reporting – once an incident occurs, data can be reported through a mobile device and immediately uploaded into the system. All necessary checks can be thoroughly completed using this standardized process.
Uniform Compliance – when you simplify the process of reporting incidents, you increase the probability of accuracy and company-wide participation, making it easier to provide the relevant information to regulatory authorities.
Integrated Systems – monitoring controls, gathering pertinent data, and administering prescriptive actions can all be handled and communicated from one central source. Having access to these systems all in one place and on a mobile device can help EH&S professionals make quicker and more knowledgeable decisions.
Protecting the welfare and safety of employees is not only the right thing to do, but it makes tremendous sense. Injuries and unsafe work environments can negatively impact company efficiency and, in turn, have an impact on the bottom line. While every incident cannot be prevented, EH&S management software helps make it easier to stay on top of the practices that provide safeguards against injury or illness.

Curriculum
Our Curriculum AimsOverview
Our curriculum is based around the National Curriculum 2014.
The national curriculum is a set of subjects and standards used by primary and secondary schools so children learn the same things. It covers what subjects are taught and the standards children should reach in each subject.
Documents relating to the National Curriculum are available in school and the gov.uk link: . If you have any concerns about the curriculum initially these will be dealt with through discussion with the class teachers or headteacher or considered to be a formal complaint under Section 23 of the Education Reform Act Circular 1/89 and the Local Authority would be consulted.
Please use the links below to find out what our children will be taught.
Curriculum List
Please expand on the subjects below for more information
Our School Curriculum
We ensure that effective teaching of the National Curriculum will give the pupils within our schools a broad and balanced education. Our policies, reflecting the aims of the National Curriculum, are planned to cater for the continuing personal development of each individual. We recognise that effective delivery of this curriculum is just one stage in the long-term plan for the development of our children's education.
All of the subjects of the National Curriculum are taught in this school and emphasis is put on providing our children with comprehensive literacy and numeracy skills.
Cornerstones Curriculum
Since April 2016, our federated schools have implemented Cornerstones Curriculum to support us in designing, delivering and managing full coverage of the National Curriculum. Originally inspired by a study visit to the pre-school settings of Reggio Emilia, the Cornerstones approach centres on the belief that children learn better when their interests and fascinations are allowed to flourish, where they are encouraged to explore subjects in a variety of ways and are viewed in terms of their strengths, not their weaknesses. By combining this approach with years of teaching experience, Cornerstones have developed their own four-stage teaching philosophy: Engage, Develop, Innovate, Express.
It is the Cornerstones four stage philosophy that brings the curriculum to life. Each stage provides opportunities for children to learn and respond in a variety of ways, keeping projects flexible and able to follow children's interests and needs. Please look at the Cornerstones website for more information:
Art and Design
During the time that any child spends with us we will endeavour to give him/her the experience of working with different mediums – paint, papier-mâché, clay, printing mediums, fabrics. Our studies in Art encompass an awareness of art and artists, the skills of sketching, observational drawing and colour mixing and working with 3D form.
Whenever possible we will encourage people engaged in 'art as a profession' to share their expertise with our pupils.
We believe that Art is an important aspect in the development of any child. It is an area of the curriculum in which every child can experience success. Within the school we try to use Art to support other study areas as well as giving full credence to its importance as a subject in its own right
Computing
At Carlton & Faceby and Bilsdale, computing is taught in discreet computing lessons on a weekly basis. The computing curriculum is delivered through our own scheme of work based and developed with the support of Purple Mash. Every lesson in our scheme has been individually planned so that it can be effectively taught using the infrastructure we have in place at school and so that it can meet the needs of all our pupils. Our scheme has been closely referenced against the 2014 National Curriculum attainment targets in order to ensure progression and coverage. Having discreet lessons means that the children are able to develop depth in their knowledge and skills over the duration of each of their computing topics. Topics are carefully planned across the year and across year groups to allow pupils to revisit the skills taught at different points.
Online safety is taught under the umbrella of Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) and closely linked to specific events in the academic year to raise the profile of specific issues, such as online bullying with anti-bullying week to allow the pupils to see the connections of what they are being taught in the real world. Where appropriate, meaningful links will be made between the computing curriculum and the wider curriculum.
In computing lessons, the children will use either iPads or laptops in order to access a range of apps and software. Discreet computing lessons will focus on the curriculum skills of information technology, digital literacy and computer science. Pupils are also given many opportunities to apply their skills and knowledge to other areas of the curriculum, for example, when producing presentations or researching using the internet at several points across their weekly lessons. Children's progress is assessed termly against our formative assessment tool. Children are given feedback and ways to improve their work either verbally or through written feedback in their books.
For an overview of the creative content in Computing for the whole school, please click below.
Our approach to the curriculum results in a fun, engaging, and high-quality computing education. The quality of children's learning is evident in the pupil's books and in their folders on the network. Evidence such as this is used to feed into teachers' assessment and future planning. The curriculum has been designed to allow teachers are to revisit skills and knowledge and build upon it, ensuring progression and bridging gaps, when necessary.
Much of the subject-specific knowledge developed in computing lessons equips pupils with experiences which will benefit them in secondary school, further education and future workplaces, as well as providing them with the tools to cope with the pressures of a fast-paced and ever-changing digital society. From research methods, use of presentation and creative tools, digital resilience and critical thinking, computing at Carlton & Faceby and Bilsdale gives children the building blocks that enable them to pursue a wide range of interests, careers and vocations in the next stage of their lives.
English & Phonics
English
Our aim is to provide the skills that are necessary to enable each child to be literate in the very broadest sense of the word – by being an active user of language – reading, writing and speaking. Children are given tasks at appropriate and differentiated levels. Where appropriate, Information Technology is used to enhance or support their work.
Reading Overview
We are committed to teaching our pupils to become skilled readers who develop a comprehensive understanding of words, language and texts as they move through school. They learn to read and then read to learn. Through using a range of strategies, our aim is to ensure that pupils develop a love of reading so that they can read for purpose and for pleasure. We provide pupils with a range of strategies in order to do this.
EYFS and KS1
For a child to enjoy reading, they need to be able to access texts at their level. All individual and group reading books in reception and KS1 match the pupils' phonic knowledge, ensuring all words can be decoded. Each book is placed into a phase corresponding with the Rising Stars Rocket Phonics programme used in school. In each phase, books progress by introducing new sounds whilst also revisiting previously learnt sounds. Pupils' reading books are chosen according to their phonic ability. This is to ensure that all pupils can read the book rather than having to sound out every single grapheme as the latter often results in reluctant readers.
KS2
In KS2, there is a daily reading lesson. Sessions are centred on high-quality texts chosen by the class teacher, often linking closely with the overarching topic within their class. Specific reading skills are then explicitly taught and practised. While reading skills are being taught explicitly, the reading content is relevant, inspiring and purposeful and becomes the driver for developing wider subject knowledge.
Phonics
Systematic synthetic phonics is taught using the Rocket Phonics programme throughout Reception and Year 1. This is used to ensure the pupils are taught new phonemes in a particular order using the four-part lesson format: revise, teach, practise and apply. Whole-class teaching takes place on a daily basis.
Rocket Phonics teaches one letter-sound correspondence over two days. The first day focuses on blending skills and the second day focuses on segmenting skills. Reading and writing are interlinked so there will naturally be overlap, but by separating the skills and spreading them across two days, the teacher has greater clarity over which skill is being taught, practised or applied. The children have more time and more opportunity to learn, practise and apply the skills using the new letter-sound correspondences before moving on.
The two-day pattern is repeated twice through the week, leaving the fifth day as an opportunity for further consolidation, assessment, enrichment activities or as a focus lesson on common exception words.
In Year 2 systematic synthetic phonics continues to be taught using the National Curriculum learning prefixes and suffixes using the Jane Considine Spelling Book scheme. Children are also taught to explore etymology and develop spelling patterns based on their understanding of the root of a word.
Spelling
From Year 2 to Year 6, we use Jane Considine's Spelling Book, which provides a coherent system for teaching spelling consistently and supports pupils to define what it means to be an effective speller. The children explore the patterns of spellings, to investigate spelling rules, remember, and recall these spellings throughout the year. Our spelling approach removes spelling tests and instead prioritises in-class investigations, modelling and assessment. Spelling from Year 2 to Year 6 is taught in blocks of 2 weeks.
On our federated Friday's, children complete spelling investigations. Pupils are given a hypothesis and work as spelling detectives to see if they think it is true, false or sometimes true. This facilitates pupils to be word gatherers, sorters, pattern-finders and interrogators.
After completing their investigations, children then become 'grapheme grafters'. Children, using their knowledge of phonemes and graphemes, investigate fifteen spellings by identifying the tricky parts and making sound associations. In addition, children have 10-minute spelling sessions which aim to reinforce punctuation rules and spelling patterns taught previously.
Writing
To support our writing curriculum, we use "The Write Stuff" by Jane Considine to bring clarity to the mechanics of writing in to 3 learning chunks. Each learning chunk has three sections:
Initiate section – a stimulus to capture the children's imagination and set up a sentence.
Model section – the teacher close models a sentence that outlines clear writing features and techniques.
Enable section – the children write their sentence, following the model.
Children are challenged to 'Deepen the Moment' which requires them to independently draw upon previously learnt skills and apply them to their writing during that chunk.
"The Write Stuff" uses three essential components to support children in becoming great writers
The three zones of writing:
IDEAS – The FANTASTICs uses a child friendly acronym to represent the nine idea lenses through which children can construct their ideas.
TOOLS – The GRAMMARISTICS. The grammar rules of our language system and an accessible way to target weaknesses in pupil's grammatical and linguistic structures.
TECHNIQUES – The BOOMTASTICs, which helps children, capture 10 ways of adding drama and poetic devices to writing in a vivid visual.
Handwriting
The children are taught to develop a script, which is based on the Nelson scheme. We feel that the presentation of work is very important because it is a means of communicating; and as such should be legible and well formed. Well-presented work can encourage a child to take a pride in his/her work.
Speaking and Listening
We provide opportunities for ideas to be discussed with others. In this way we feel that we are building on foundations, already laid before a child begins school. Children are encouraged to express their views and support them with relevant facts. We encourage pupils to appreciate the importance of listening to the views of others. By listening to others, they will, with consideration, understanding and careful thought learn how to judge what is fair and acceptable. We teach, and regularly consolidate, listening skills.
At Bilsdale and Carlton Schools, we believe in developing a reading culture throughout the school by creating and valuing welcoming book areas in all classrooms. Alongside this we run a weekly reading raffle to encourage and value the children's reading at home.
Parents are integral part in the children's 'reading journey'. We promote children to read at home on a daily basis and communication between school and home is recorded in a 'Reading Record'. Children who read at home at least four times a week are entered into a weekly reading raffle.
Design and Technology
Geography
Within our school we teach the geographical skills and awareness issues which are outlined in the National Curriculum
We try to make our children aware that many aspects of geography impact upon other subjects including science.
The school aims to give the children an awareness of the world in which they live by exploring map skills, environmental and resource issues and ensuring that our pupils have knowledge and understanding of the effect of climate upon people's lives and animal habitats.
History
The National Curriculum gives children wide exposure to topics of local, national and international interest. Attention is given to supporting our history studies by involvement with our local heritage.
We encourage an investigative approach to history and wherever possible educational visits will be used to support our studies. One of our main aims is to encourage a sense of chronology.
Maths
What are the aims of our curriculum?
Mathematics teaches children how to make sense of the world around them through developing their ability to calculate, reason and solve problems.
Mathematics is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. Our mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject. We aim to support children to achieve economic well-being and equip them with a range of computational skills and the ability to solve problems in a variety of contexts language.
Can solve problems by applying their mathematics to a variety of problems with increasing sophistication, including breaking down problems into a series of simpler steps and persevering in seeking solutions
How will teachers deliver the curriculum?
As a school, we have decided to follow White Rose Maths. The White Rose scheme of learning is designed to support a mastery approach to teaching and learning, as well as to support the aims and objectives of the National Curriculum. The White Rose scheme has number at its heart and a lot of time is spent reinforcing number to build competency. It also provides opportunities to build reasoning and problem-solving into each lesson. White Rose believes that all children, who are introduced to a concept, should have the opportunity to build on their abilities by following a concrete-pictorial-abstract approach.
Concrete – Children should have the opportunity to use mathematical objects to help them envisage what written numbers represent.
Pictorial – Children should have the opportunity to use pictures as representations to continue to support them in visualising what written numbers represent.
Abstract – Abstract learning is the use of digits and words to represent numbers.
EYFS
In Early Years, we focus on high-quality environments and meaningful interactions with staff and each other. Our enabling environment and skilful adult interactions support the children as they begin to link learning to their play and exploration. We place an emphasis on studying key skills of number, calculation measurement and shape so that pupils develop deep understanding and the correct mathematical language.
Pupils learn through games and tasks using concrete manipulatives which are then rehearsed and applied to their own learning during exploration. Pupils begin to develop these key skills during a daily maths input where they explore sorting, quantities, shape, number and counting awareness.
These early mathematical experiences are carefully planned to ensure pupils remember the content they have been taught and to support them with integrating their new knowledge across the breadth of their experiences and into larger concepts.
As well as following the Statutory framework, we follow the non-statutory guidance for EYFS – Development Matters. Using this, children in their reception year will be learning to:
Count objects, actions & sounds
Subitise
Link a number symbol with its cardinal value
Count beyond ten
Compare numbers
Understand the one more than / one less than relationship of consecutive numbers
To reflect the cohort groupings for 2021-22, we have adjusted the long-term White Rose plan to enable similar topics to be delivered in our mixed age classes. We have ensured that units build on each other maintaining skill progression starting with place value and number. KS1 and KS2 are taught maths daily. There is a focus on mental arithmetic and pupils encouraged to learn times tables both at school and at home using our learning platforms. During maths sessions, pupils acquire and practise skills and have opportunities reason mathematically and use and apply their skills to solve problems.
Compare quantities up to 10 in different contexts, recognising when one quantity is greater than, less than or the same as the other quantity;
Explore and represent patterns within numbers up to 10, including evens and odds, double facts and how quantities can be distributed equally.
National Curriculum for KS1 pupils
]. At By the end of year 2, pupils should know the number bonds to 20 and be precise in using and understanding place value. An emphasis on practice at this early stage will aid fluency. Pupils should read and spell mathematical vocabulary, at a level consistent with their increasing word reading and spelling knowledge at key stage 1.
National Curriculum for Lower KS2 pupil (Y3 and Y4)
The principal focus of mathematics teaching in lower key stage 2 is to ensure that pupils become increasingly fluent with whole numbers and the four operations, including number facts and the concept of place value. This should ensure that pupils develop efficient written and mental methods and perform calculations accurately with increasingly large whole numbers. At By the end of year 4, pupils should have memorised their multiplication tables up to and including the 12 multiplication table and show precision and fluency in their work. Pupils should read and spell mathematical vocabulary correctly and confidently, using their growing word reading knowledge and their knowledge of spelling.
National Curriculum for Upper KS2 pupil (Y5 and Y6) At By the end of year 6, pupils should be fluent in written methods for all four operations, including long multiplication and division, and in working with fractions, decimals and percentages. Pupils should read, spell and pronounce mathematical vocabulary correctly.

Physical Education
At Carlton & Faceby and Bilsdale, we recognise the importance of Primary PE and Sport and the role it has to play in promoting long term, healthy lifestyles. Our children are offered a breadth of experiences in PE and Sport. They have opportunities to participate in activities such as games, dance, gymnastics and athletics. Every child is included in physical education and they are encouraged to be the best that they can be.
Association for Physical Education's view of Physical Education is as follows:
'The aim of physical education is to develop physical competence so that all children are able to move efficiently and safely and understand what they are doing. The outcome- physical literacy-is as important to children's overall development as literacy and numeracy'.
At Carlton & Faceby and Bilsdale we promote the values of respect, friendship, courage, equality and inspiration giving the children knowledge, skills and motivation to establish and maintain a healthy lifestyle and enjoyment ofphysical activity and sport. We are committed to ensuring that every child has:
Intent – How does our PE curriculum set out the knowledge and skills that pupils gain at each stage?
It is our intention at Carlton & Faceby and Bilsdale, to teach children life skills that will impact positively on their future. We aim to develop a well-balanced, resilient child who is ready for the 21st Century. One who has skills and the knowledge that are required to help them to succeed and make healthy choices in our ever-changing modern world. Through participation in PE and extracurricular activities we provide the foundations for a healthy lifestyle and promotes character building, self-esteem and enjoyment in a variety of physical activities and challenges. High quality teaching and learning opportunities inspire and nurture children to succeed, that in turn teaches children how to co-operate and how to collaborate with others to understand fairness and equality.
The Implementation of our PE Curriculum
Children at Carlton & Faceby and Bilsdale participate in weekly high-quality PE and Sporting activities. The Primary PE Curriculum is designed to incorporate the development of children's confidence, resilience and an appreciation of not only their own strengths and weaknesses but also that of their peers. All children from Reception to Year 6 are provided with the opportunity to engage in Extra Curricular Activities. An inclusive approach aims to encourage every child to be the best that they can possibly be. We teach the children the Social and Emotional aspects of PE as well as the Physical, which affects their mindset and improves their mental health and well-being. Children are encouraged to move out of their comfort zones and to challenge themselves on a daily basis; this includes competing in competitive sports. Staff are committed to ensure that every child has a sense of wellbeing, a stronger sense of self-esteem, improved concentration, improved co-ordination, along with co-operating and collaborating with others.
Evaluating the Impact of our PE Curriculum
Increased levels of fitness and well-being of our children at Carlton & Faceby and Bilsdale, encouraged through not only the sporting skills being taught but through the underpinning values and disciplines that PE promotes. Children develop self -discipline, resilience; along with taking ownership for their own health and fitness. The PE Curriculum motivates children to use the underpinning skills that they have learnt in an independent and effective way to live happy and healthy lives.

Paralympic Values

School Swimming
Since 1994, swimming and water safety has been a statutory element of the National Curriculum for Physical Education in England. This means that every 11-year old child should leave primary school with the skills to keep themselves safe while enjoying swimming with friends and family.
The three National Curriculum outcomes state that all schools must provide swimming instruction either in Key Stage One or Key Stage Two and that children must:
– swim competently, confidently and proficiently over a distance of at least 25 metres
For all our pupils unable to complete any of the above they will be expected to take part in swimming lessons before they leave Carlton and Faceby at the end of Year 6. This is a National requirement for pupils. Our Year 5 and Year 6 pupils are attending Block 1 of swimming lessons at Stokesley Leisure Centre during Autumn Term. Our Lower key stage 2 pupils will be attending during blocks 2 and 3 in terms Spring 1 and Spring 2.
Primary PE & Sports Premium
Schools receive PE and sport premium funding based on the number of pupils in years 1 to 6. This funding must be used to make additional and sustainable improvements to the quality of PE and sport we offer.
We use the premium to:
Develop or add to the PE and sport activities that we already offer.
Build capacity and capability within the school to ensure that improvements made now will benefit pupils joining the school in future years.
The school applies the following DfE Vision Statement to the core of all planned initiatives associated with the Premium:
'All pupils leaving primary school physically literate and with the knowledge, skills and motivation necessary to equip them for a healthy, active lifestyle and lifelong participation in physical activity and sport'.
At Carlton & Faceby and Bilsdale we address progress in accordance with the nationally prescribed five indicators that are:
The engagement of all pupils in regular physical activity –.
We comply with meeting the statutory requirement, as instructed by Department for Education, to ensure that information on the use of the Primary PE and Sport Premium is made available to parents on our school website. Whilst accountability rests with all schools by way of how the funding is spent, it is the case that all schools must annually provide online evidence of actual spend and long-term impact based upon the following areas:
The amount of premium received
A full breakdown of how it has been spent (or will be spent)
The impact the school has seen on pupils' PE and sport participation and attainment
Science
In line with the new curriculum the children will undertake a wide range of scientific studies, promoting learning through first hand experience. Much of the science is topic based and can be approached in a variety of ways – group work, whole class work and individual investigations.
We aim to give pupils opportunities to observe, select and use appropriate equipment to design their investigations.
Testing and recording are taught in order to help pupils to present and interpret their results and to be able to construct fair tests. Through science we encourage our pupils to develop a scientific way of understanding the world in which we live.
Religious Education
Religious education for both schools is provided within the framework of the guidance of the Dioceses of Leeds and York Diocesan Syllabus for RE. Because Carlton & Faceby School has voluntary aided status, the governors are required to consider making provisions for Church of England denominational teaching under the Trust Deed for any pupils whose parent/guardian require such an arrangement. To the present day there have been no such requests and the governors hope that the existing good educational practice whereby all pupils learn together in normal teaching groups will be able to continue.
Whilst our religious ethos is Church of England we ensure that the children are taught religious awareness and respect.
PSHE / Well-being
PHSE at The Carlton & Faceby and Bilsdale C of E Federation
Intent
At The Carlton & Faceby and Bilsdale C of E Federation, PSHE is at the core of what we do and enables our children to become independent, confident, healthy and responsible members of society, as well as developing from Reception- Year 6 on a weekly basis and as a school, we follow the Jigsaw PSHE scheme. Our PSHE curriculum equips children with relevant and meaningful content, which is supported through a strong emphasis on emotional literacy, building resilience and nurturing mental and physical health. With an ever-changing Faith, Hope and Trust.
Implementation – How will we deliver the curriculum?
Our whole curriculum is shaped by our school vision which aims to enable all children, regardless of background, ability, additional needs, and to flourish to become the very best version of themselves they can possibly be.
We teach the National Curriculum, supported by a clear skills and knowledge progression. This ensures that skills and knowledge are built on year by year and sequenced appropriately to maximise learning for all children.
Jigsaw PSHE directs our aim on developing the "whole child" through a spiral curriculum approach to developing knowledge, skills and understanding in the areas of;
Being Me in My World
Celebrating Difference
Dreams and Goals
Healthy Me
Relationships
Changing Me
J of work (Puzzles), each containing six lessons (Pieces) covering each academic year Piece has two Learning Intentions, one specific to Relationships and Health Education (PSHE)(in purple) and the other designed to develop emotional literacy and social skills (in green).
Puzzles are launched with a whole-school assembly containing an original song, with each year group studying the same unit at the same time (at their own level), building sequentially through the school year, facilitating whole-school learning themes.
The various teaching and learning activities are engaging and mindful of different learning styles and the need for differentiation and the Early Years (EYFS) planning is aligned to the National Early Years Framework (England).ThroughoutImpact – What are the intended outcomes?
What will this look like? By the time children leave our school they will:
For all children to have a ready willingness and ability to try new things, push themselves and persevere. To have a good understanding of how to stay safe, healthy and develop good relationships. To have an appreciation of what it means to be a positive member of a diverse, multicultural society. To have a strong self-awareness, interlinked with compassion of others | eng | f464d744-9c68-4636-8171-97510d2abc70 | https://bilsdalecarltonschools.co.uk/children/curriculum/ |
