Google is trying to build an AI-powered search engine, and according to The New York Times, the company is in the early stages of building a search service that will try to predict what you want from it in hopes of offering a "more personalized experience." New AI features for its existing search engine codenamed "Magi".
Among the features Google is developing is a chatbot that can answer software engineering questions and generate code snippets. The company has also been piloting a feature that lets people search for music through a chatbot conversation.
The company plans to bring Magi's features to 1 million people in the United States before expanding availability to 30 million users later this year. | eng | a19d878d-5867-48e7-9775-bd72c3b8ae39 | https://gamingideology.com/2023/04/18/an-ai-powered-search-engine-is-being-developed-by-google/ |
Tesla Model Y Among Top 3 In 2022 Global Passenger Car Sales: Report
Outlets and analysts are still updating data, but there's no denying the Model Y was one of the world's best-selling cars last year.
We've been talking about the Tesla Model Y being one of the world's best-selling cars in 2022 for some time now, and we're almost halfway through 2023. Now, according to new data published by JATO Dynamics, it appears the Model Y was the third-best-selling passenger car across the globe, though other data may show slightly different results.
Figuring out the number of cars sold in the entire world, broken down by model, isn't an easy task. One might think it should be pretty straightforward, and in some cases, it can be. However, it's not all simple. When Tesla is involved, the issue is further complicated since the automaker doesn't break down sales by individual country, except where it's required. It also doesn't break down sales by the individual model in every market.
For these reasons, it's no surprise data is still coming out related to the world's best-selling cars, and it's not all matching up with exacting precision. However, at this point, we've seen enough data to conclude without a doubt that the Tesla Model Y was one of the top-selling passenger cars in the world last year.
When Tesla first brought the Model Y to market, CEO Elon Musk said it would outsell all the EV maker's other models. He also said it could eventually become the best-selling car in the world. Perhaps it will happen this year, or next?
Who knows, but either way, it's incredibly impressive that a pricey EV that just came to market in 2020 is even on the list. Not to mention the fact that it wasn't long ago when Tesla was still considered a newer, startup automaker, and EVs weren't selling all that well.
JATO's Global Analyst Felipe Munoz shared:
"It is a historic moment to see a pure electric vehicle not only so close to the top position but also a relatively new brand getting so far in the global ranking, particularly given they are not the most affordable vehicles."
As you can see, the Tesla Model 3 is also on the list, according to JATO. Based on the automotive research company's data, Tesla sold 747,000 Model Y crossovers globally in 2022. Some 44% were sold in China, with 34% sold in the US and Canada, and 19% sold in Europe.
The data shows that Toyota sold 992,000 Corolla sedans and over 1 million RAV4 SUVs to top the Model Y. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model 3 lands in the 10th position, just behind the Ford F-150, with 525,000 sales. | eng | 50c6e1fe-93a8-4e41-94ec-267d294ab8b2 | https://insideevs.com/news/666300/tesla-model-y-top-three-global-passenger-car-sales/ |
Title-Holding vs. Non-Title-Holding States
What happens to your car title when it's financed? Well, this entirely depends on whether or not you live in a title-holding state or a non-title-holding state.
What is a title-holding state vs. a non-title-holding state?
Title-holding state: A title-holding state will send the vehicle title with the owner's name and lienholder's name directly to the vehicle owner to hold until the loan is paid off.
Non-title-holding state: A non-title-holding state means that this particular state requires that the lienholder hold the title until the loan is paid off. Most states in the US are non-title-holding states.

Where Science, Fiction Meet
In 1947, Robert A. Heinlein published a novel called "Rocket Ship Galileo," about a group of whiz kids who build their own ship and fly into space.
This summer, 57 years after the book, SpaceShipOne was launched from the Mojave Desert, becoming the first manned spaceflight by private citizens. The accomplishment capped a remarkable story about a group of whizzes who decided one day to build their own ship and fly into space.
If the stories sound similar, it's because one inspired the other.
Science fiction became science fact. And now the stories of "Rocket Ship Galileo," SpaceShipOne and the connection between the two occupy the same display case as the newest exhibit in the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame.
Advertisement
The museum, which opened in June, is the $20-million brainchild of billionaire sci-fi buff Paul Allen. He happens to be one of the whizzes behind SpaceShip- One and the owner of a yellowed paperback copy of Heinlein's book. He read it when he was 11.
"Science fiction is a big inspiration for creativity and for thinking out of the box," Allen said in an e-mail exchange. "It forces you to think about the world and about future possibilities, and it reinforces the idea that creativity can be expressed in new ways through science and technology."
The museum shares space in the same hyper-modern psychedelic building, under the Space Needle, with another of Allen's creations, the Experience Music Project, a rock 'n' roll museum that opened four years ago.
Touted as the only one of its kind on the planet, the Science Fiction Museum is 13,000 square feet of history, schlock, interactive gadgets and paraphernalia, from Frankenstein to "The Matrix."
A mural-sized timeline traces the evolution of science fiction from its earliest pioneers in the 19th century -- Mary Shelley, Jules Verne, H.G. Wells -- through its transformation into a pulp genre, with stories of bug-eyed Martians, mutant 50-foot women in miniskirts and indestructible superheroes. For many people, science fiction, in the words of sci-fi writer Octavia Butler, was "kid stuff."
But then something happened: Science fiction became not just respectable but respected, according to Eric Rabkin, professor of English at the University of Michigan. Science fiction is now a mainstream genre, spanning the range of artistic endeavor from the cartoonish to the prophetic.
Today, major universities such as Rabkin's offer courses in sci-fi literature. Science fiction writers, such as Butler, now win MacArthur fellowships, the so-called "genius grants," and some have their works turned into blockbuster movies. Five of the 10 top-grossing movies of all time are science fiction. "Star Wars: Episode IV," and "E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial" rank second and fourth on the list.
The final seal of respectability has come from the group with the reputation as being the hardest to convince: scientists.
The museum's board of advisors includes not only writers and movie directors (Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, James Cameron) but accomplished physicists and aerospace engineers with Ivy League affiliations. Two board members conduct research for NASA.
The museum director, Donna Shirley, spent three decades as an aerospace engineer and led NASA's billion-dollar Mars Exploration Program.
If there's a salient theme in the museum, it is the symbiotic relationship -- some might even call it a collaboration -- between science fiction and science. The SpaceShipOne exhibit, which stands in the lobby just outside the museum's formal entrance, sets the tone for the mind-expanding stuff inside.

Shirley gave a recent tour. She is 63, with rosy cheeks and a speckling of gray hair. She speaks with authority, like a school principal, but occasionally erupts in childlike exuberance.
"See the prints?" she said, gesturing to the three-toed, glowing "alien footprints" on the floor that serve as a tour path through the museum. "They're for people who don't know where to go."
The museum has two levels. The first is designed to feel like the cosmos: black walls that simulate outer space, twinkling with stars and galaxies. The second is supposed to be the main deck of a spaceship, with giant computerized screens like windows looking out at spaceports and cities of the future.
There are more than two dozen exhibits. Some are comical, like the one entitled "THEM!" which showcases some of the most famous monsters, androids and aliens in the science fiction world. The biggest, the original Alien Queen from the 1986 movie "Aliens" -- 19 feet of latex and fiberglass -- crouches inside a glass case.
"You wouldn't want her standing all the way up," Shirley said.
Other exhibits are more serious, including one called "Not-So-Weird Science," which examines the historical interplay of science fiction and science and technology. The basic message is that science fiction has inspired, and in some ways shaped, the development of many scientific accomplishments, and science has continually provided new material for fiction.
Physicist Leo Szilard, who first explained a nuclear chain reaction, got the idea from H.G. Wells' 1914 sci-fi book, "The World Set Free," said Gregory Benford, a plasma physicist at UC Irvine and author of a dozen sci-fi novels. Benford is an advisor to the museum. He said the term "atom bomb" was invented by Wells in the same book.
A website -- Technovelgy.com -- lists more than 675 inventions inspired or shaped by science fiction.
Shirley offered a simple example. Walking past a window display of fictional communication devices, she took out her flip-style cellphone and held it up next to a space communicator used on Gene Roddenberry's "Star Trek" television series in 1966. The resemblance was uncanny, a case of life imitating art.
Rabkin, the English professor, brought up comic-book detective Dick Tracy, who in 1931 wore a futuristic wristwatch phone. In a recent paper, Rabkin described a similar-sized gadget now available at the local mall:
The device is "a telephone, alarm clock, calculator, scheduler, text messenger and camera. It's also an email client that gives us access to global digital libraries or our own business documents, serves as private device or speakerphone, and beams business cards and applications to nearby colleagues.... It can use plug-in modules to reveal our exact position on the planet, suggest alternate travel routes, and offer games to play alone or with friends scattered far across the Net."
A case of life exceeding art.
"We live in a science fiction world," Rabkin said.
A more complex example is the concept of "space elevators," electric cars that travel on cables from Earth to stations above the stratosphere, first described in technical writings in Russia in the early 1960s. In 1979, Sir Arthur C. Clarke, one of the godfathers of modern science fiction, wrote "The Fountains of Paradise," which described such a system in elaborate detail.
"In the last couple of years, companies have been formed to build real space elevators," Shirley said. Art imitating life imitating art.
The line between fact and fiction becomes more blurred in an exhibit called "The Changing Face of Mars," which traces the evolution of humanity's engagement with the Red Planet: from a place imagined to a place actually visited.
Shirley played a big role in that leap and is featured in the exhibit, talking on video about her journey from rural Oklahoma to the highest ranks at NASA. A journey that began at age 12, when she picked up Clarke's 1951 book, "The Sands of Mars," about earthlings who travel to the Red Planet.
"I remember thinking: 'I can do this. I can build spaceships and go to Mars,'" Shirley said.
In 32 years at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, she worked on missions to every planet in the solar system except for Pluto.
The pinnacle came when she led a team of scientists that built the first planetary robotic rover. Sojourner was a 25-pound, six-wheeled, microwave-sized machine that landed with the Mars Pathfinder probe on the surface of Mars on Independence Day 1997.
The exhibit includes a half-scale model of Sojourner, which looks as farfetched as anything else in the display.

Paul Allen, co-founder of Microsoft, has his fingers in all sorts of speculative science projects.
He's the main financial backer for a former government project called SETI -- the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence -- which in part uses giant antennas to probe space for signals from other planets.
He's funding research on the genetics of the brain, as well as a project that explores the potential for artificial intelligence.
"Science and space exploration and technology are in my blood," Allen said.
The museum was a billionaire's impulse, conceived and constructed in 18 months. More than half of the items come from Allen's personal collection. Employees joke that Allen just wanted a place to store his things.
Now that it's built, Allen said the museum must become self-sustaining.
That cause was recently given a boost with donations of undisclosed amounts from Microsoft pal Bill Gates and Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, both of whom live in the Seattle area.
Shirley said she was confident the museum would get what it needed to support the small staff and keep the facility running at a cost of between $3 million and $5 million a year. The $12.95 adult admission will help -- about 103,000 people have visited since the June 18 opening.
On a recent rainy Friday afternoon, about a dozen people wandered the museum's labyrinthine corridors. Not all of them seemed wowed by the high technology. A few appeared downright glum.
That may be because science fiction is only partly about progress and the advancement of humankind. Much of it explores our species' demise. The apocalypse makes up an entire subsection of the genre.
Judson Ocana, 44, stood wordlessly in front of an exhibit called "Out of the Ashes," which chronicles a few of the countless fictional scenarios in which humans manage to wipe themselves out. Ocana was driving from Alberta, Canada, to the Bay Area with his girlfriend and decided to stop and see the museum. The girlfriend, waiting in the lobby, wasn't interested.
"Definitely, I think it could happen," Ocana said, referring to the end of the world. "The whole message of this place is, at any given minute, we only know a fraction of what there is to know. It's what we don't know that will kill us."
In the display case, a movie poster shows clothed and gloating primates from the 1968 movie "Planet of the Apes," in which a nuclear Armageddon leads to a new supreme species that enslaves what is left of the human race. | eng | 9d4043eb-bda6-4e35-a58e-e63e2c220e97 | https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-dec-10-na-scimuseum10-story.html |

"I don't know. Maybe he was just impressed with my skills," Jared teased.
Flaxseed rolled his eyes at Jared, knowing that it wasn't the real reason.
But if Jared didn't want to talk about it, he wasn't going to push for an answer.
Soon enough, the meal was ready, and Jared and his companions began to eat.
Meanwhile, Tucker and his followers from Stormwind Sect had arrived ar the mountain range near rhe sea.
Joining them was Sonyx Raven, the deadliest assassin
from Flying Star Sect. He's ranked higher than rhe elders in his own sect. It was clear that Wrcy had sent Sonyx to kill Jared.
Tucker gazed out at the vast ocean before him, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Tucker, 1 know that Jared killed Emiliano Fairchild. Did Hugh send you to avenge his death? What if you find that you're no match for him and end up gelling killed instead?" Sonyx sneered.
Tucker merely snorted and remained silent because he was aware that Sonyx was the secret weapon assassin of Flying Star Sect. Nobody knew his true strength, but it was certainly not inferior to his own.
Seeing Tucker's lack of response, Sonyx decided not to provoke him further. He turned to the sea and continued, "Thar man must have taken rhe sea route. However, this area is filled with demon beasts, and there's an old freak blocking the way. They can't escape for sure."
Sonyx turned to his disciples and instructed, "Cut some trees and make rafts. We'll catch up with them."
Soon, Flying Star Sect got into action, planning to pursue through the waterway.
Meanwhile, Tucker continued to stare out al the sea with a grave expression. He knew the peril of the sea, bur the memory' of Emiliano's tragic death haunted him.
Finally, he made up his mind to rake action. "Cut down the trees and make rafts," he ordered the disciples of
Storm wind Sect.
Tucker was determined to set sail and hunt for Jared to avenge his son.
As rhe disciples of rhe two sects embarked on their sea pursuit, a group from Scorching Heaven Sect arrived at the scene. From a distance, Yona gazed at Tucker and Sonyx, and a smirk spread across his face.
"Chasing after him on the sea? What fools. Even if they manage to avoid rhe demon beasts, they'll never be able to defeat Jared. Elgado, a top-level Martial Arts God, couldn't even match his strength. How could these two possibly stand a chance against him?" Yona knew Jared's true power well, as Elgado had personally spoken about it to him.
However, Flying Star Sect and Stormwind Sect were still clueless about Jared's powers. They thought he was only al rhe beginner phase of Martial Arts God.
"Lord Green, what should we do? Should we also go after them?" a disciple from Scorching Heaven Sect asked.
"Anyone who dares set foot in this sea is courting death. Let's turn back. Jared won't survive because no one can escape from this place."
Yona gestured for his men to depart, convinced that Jared's demise was inevitable.
Yona did not dare to claim that he could survive in this sea area with his current cultivation. Hence, if he couldn't make it, Jared had no chance either.
One of rhe disciples inquired with curiosity, "Lord Green, is it true that there arc demon beasts in the sea? Arc they actually so dangerous that everyone from the hidden realm fears them?" | eng | f16508c8-1f24-41d2-959e-a869dfd561ea | https://arrowzant.com/a-man-like-none-other-chapter-2253-by-desire-novel/ |

Can a business allow employees to use their own software for work as a way to make sure that if the company has to declare bankruptcy and sell all its assets, then it can hide its proprietary software from liquidation? I was thinking of how a company would try to protect its method of making money from being forced to given up if there was a bankruptcy or the courts were trying to seize property and the only way I could think of is if it wasn't owned by the business in the first place. But I don't know if there is a law restricting employees using their own software like that for this very reason. Is this possible?

Yes, companies can protect assets from creditors
An operating company that deals with customers and outsources everything to:
A labour-hire company that employs all the staff, and
A purchasing company that deals with supplies, and
A holding company that owns all the assets.
That way, if anything goes wrong in any of the companies it can be wound up and a new one spun up to replace it.
There are variations on the theme: construction businesses may spin up a new company for each project, mining companies a new one for each mine, property companies a new one for each property holding (usually as a trust) etc.
Providing the contracts between the companies are genuine commercial arrangements and the directors act in the best interests of each of the companies, this is generally legal.
@user253751 nothing but costs. Each of these structures cost money to set up, lawyer fees, filing fees, taxes, and usually demand their own tax return forms.

Balancing Sports and School: 3 Tips for Students Who Are Struggling
17th November 2021
HomeBlogBalancing Sports and School: 3 Tips for Students Who Are Struggling
We recently highlighted Emma Raducanu's incredible success in the 2021 US Open. Recognised for her consistency, resilience, and unwavering focus, Emma made the entire nation immensely proud. However, her success also brought another pressing matter to light: student mental health.
Emma has been a strong proponent of mental health. Joining the likes of notable sports stars Naomi Osaka (tennis player) and Simone Biles (gymnast), she has repeatedly emphasised the importance of putting mental health first and retaining a healthy balance in life.
At Cambridge Home School, we have a similar focus on helping our students perform exceptionally well in school and enjoy much-needed time off. Our students explore their interests and hobbies, go on family trips, play their favourite sports, enjoy fun activities, play skill-building games, and make time for numerous other explorations that foster personal enrichment and social development.
While we double down on academic growth, we also focus on non-academic progression. If you play competitive sports, you may struggle to balance school and sports. In this blog, we'll walk you through three tips to help make things easier.
1. Don't Prioritise One Over the Other
Students often feel compelled to double down on sports or school. In doing so, they neglect the other. If you solely focus on academics, your sporting performance will suffer. Similarly, if you prioritise sports, your academic performance will go down.
Striking the right balance between each is imperative. It's important to note that the balance doesn't have to be "perfect". Do the best you can instead of forcing yourself to get things right every time. Strive for consistency and progress, not perfection. This balance will help you perform well in both school and sports.
2. Allow Yourself to Take Time Off
As a student-athlete, you may struggle at times. Feel free to take time off when you need to. Plan a relaxing day of self-care, hang out with your friends, or agree to the trip your family has been planning for months.
Student-athletes often feel guilty for taking time off. You may feel compelled to maintain peak productivity every hour of every day. Fight this urge and give yourself much-needed time to rest, enjoy yourself, recharge, and reset.
3. Speak with Your Teachers
If you're struggling to balance sports and school, we recommend speaking with your teachers. At Cambridge Home School, our teachers get to know each student on a personal level. They have a good grasp on each student's academic strengths and weaknesses, non-academic struggles, and learning trajectory. As you communicate your concerns to your teacher, they'll help you get back on track.
If you attend conventional (in-person) school, we strongly encourage you to consider enrolling in a reputable online school. Online schooling offers a lot more flexibility to students. If you play competitive sports, you'll manage to balance sports and school without feeling overwhelmed, burned out, and overburdened.

Explaining "Gratitude" to a Toddler
Have you ever asked a young child what they are thankful for on Thanksgiving? If you have, then I am sure you have a multitude of wonderfully giggle worthy answers you have heard. As a preschool teacher, every year we talk about "being thankful." We talk about it for weeks, but gratitude is something that is a really abstract idea, making it difficult for young children to understand.
We talk about it for weeks, but gratitude is something that is a really abstract idea, making it difficult for young children to understand.
However, if you ask them what they want for their birthday or other holiday, they are very quick to give you a list of things they WANT. They may be totally feasible (my daughter wanted a trip to the moon for a few years), but they are clear ideas of gifts. So if thinking of receiving a gift is so easy for toddlers and preschoolers, how can we make the idea of gratitude more accessible to these children?
Change Your Phrasing
First, we have to think about our language. Even a child well versed in "please" and "thank you" doesn't really understand what those words mean before their fourth birthday. So, we rephrase. Instead of asking a child what they are thankful for, ask them what they are happy they have! They may be happy that they have yummy food, fun toys, or a best friend as a brother. Just swapping the phrasing makes the concept easier to understand.
Model Language
If you are going around the table talking about what you are thankful for, consider having adults go first and offer tangible ideas. For example, mom might say "I am thankful that everyone is together at the table." Then elaborate on what that means, in kid friendly vocabulary. Continue, "I am happy when the family is all together and enjoying the dinner Daddy made!" Adding on a reason why you appreciate something helps to give the abstract idea a bit of context and can give children time to think about the times they feel happy as well.
Keep Expectations Realistic
I can see it now. You have talked about what gratitude and thankfulness mean for weeks. You have prepped the children for the big Thanksgiving dinner. It's the big day and you are asking each family member what they are thankful for or what they are happy they have. It's your two year old's turn. They say, "I am happy that we can watch Bluey after dinner is over." The in-laws laugh, your mother shakes her head, and you frantically try to get them to say they are thankful for their health, or family, or anything better than trying to rush through dinner.
Kids just aren't always that deep.
They are likely very happy that the family is together, but they are equally likely to be overwhelmed by all the hoop-la and just want to go back to a normal no school day, hanging out with some goldfish watching Disney Junior. I mean, who can blame them? So keep your expectations realistic and be ready for an answer that might not jive with what you are hoping to hear. Not only is that normal, it's developmentally appropriate | eng | 853c6cf8-6f42-43ad-a270-3f7fe44ad944 | https://www.bicyclepie.com/blogs/momlife/explaining-gratitude-to-a-toddler |
Brilliant and Breathtaking Calathea Orbifolia is ideal for small spaces. Learn how to care for Calathea Orbifolia by checking out this detailed grow guide!
The highly attractive foliage of Calathea Orbifolia will certainly keep onlookers' eyes glued to it. The leaves can grow to about a foot in length and sports highly attractive patterns. Commonly grown as a houseplant in pots, it can complement any indoor setting from home to office. Calathea Orbifolia care is not difficult, and you'll be able to grow it in a cinch after going through this post!
How to Grow Calathea Orbifolia
Propagating Calathea Orbifolia
You can propagate Calathea Orbifolia from division or from seeds. The most common method of propagating it is from division as getting your hands on the seeds is a bit difficult. Propagating Calathihea Orbifolia from the division is possible but can be difficult, especially for novice gardeners. Buy the baby plant from any nearby nursery, garden center, or any online gardening store if you don't want to go through the trouble of propagating Calathea Orbifolia. But if you already own a Calathea Orbifolia it makes sense to propagate the plant by division.
Propagation by Division: The best time to consider division is when the calathea orbifolia outgrows its previous pot and needs repotting. This way, you'll be killing two birds with a single stone that is repotting and propagating through division. Ideally, you'll want to divide the plant in springs as this is the season when the plant shows new growth. Carefully take out the plant from the pot, gently get rid of the excess soil sticking to the rootball, and divide it using a sharp knife. Ensure that you divide the rootball carefully and do not damage the roots in the process. Plant the new division in a pot that contains a well-draining potting mix. To reduce stress on the plant, amend the potting mix with some soil from the mother plant. Water well and allow the excess water to drain from the bottom of the pot.
TIP: To create greenhouse-like conditions, cover the plant with a cleat plastic bag till you see new growth!
Location
Finding that perfect spot for placing Calathea Orbifolia can be a little tricky. Under the direct sun, the foliage tends to lose its signature pattern, whereas too little sun affects the growth adversely. Ideally, you should place the plant near a well-lit window with drapes so that it receives plenty of medium indirect light.
Watering
Too much watering will turn the soil soggy, which can cause root rot and untimely death of the plant. Water when the soil is dry an inch below the soil's surface, which will keep the soil moist but not overwatered. Yellowing leaves and brown tips indicate improper watering and usually mean that you aren't watering enough or too much.
Soil
Well-draining soil rich in organic matter that holds some water but does not turn soggy is ideal for potting. You can buy a good quality potting mix from the nursery or any online garden store or make it yourself. Mix one part perlite and one peat moss or orchid bark and add two parts potting soil to the mix. When the water stops to drain freely it indicated peat has become compact so amend the soil with peat again in such conditions.
Temperature
Temperature ranging from 65 degrees F to 75 degrees F is ideal for growing Calathea Orbifolia. Although it loves the warmth it'll survive in temperatures as low as 55 degrees F. If the temperature falls to 50 degrees F, protect the plant by bringing it indoors and placing it at a warm spot.
Calathea Orbifolia Care
Humidity
If you live in humid regions, you are in luck as Calathea Orbifolia thrives in humidity. Place a pebble tray near the pot will help raise the humidity levels or you can use a humidifier. Humidity levels are usually high in the kitchen and bathroom, so to give the plant a boost, locate it in there from time to time. Misting the leaves will also help raise the humidity levels!
Pruning
Prune back the dead and decaying parts of the plant so that it can redirect its energy to newly growing leaves. The bushy foliage grows on single stems and has minimal pruning requirements. So pruning is one less thing you'll need to worry about!
Fertilizing
Calathea Orbifolia isn't a heavy feeder and requires monthly fertilizing during the growing season. Use a well-balanced fertilizer diluted half to its strength, or use a quarter of the quantity mentioned on the label. You can also organically enhance the quality of the soil by using aged compost or fish emulsion.
Pests and Diseases
Spider mites, scales, mealybugs, and aphids can cause severe damage to the plant if left untreated. Get rid of these pests by spraying neem oil solution over the plant or using insecticidal soap. Overwatering can cause root rot, so water to keep the soil moist but don't let the soil turn soggy | eng | 2d807e43-c933-4a52-9ba8-4f3e9003842a | https://homegardenfirst.com/calathea-orbifolia-care-how-to-grow-and-care-calathea-orbifolia-plant/ |
Healthy Eating
Your general health and your resistance to may diseases depend a lot on eating a healthy, balanced diet.
Your eating and drinking habits also affect the health of your teeth
Acids in food and drink can dissolve away tooth surface. All fizzy drinks (including 'diet' brands and fizzy mineral water), all squashes and all fruit juices are acidic to varying degrees. Pickles and citrus fruits are examples of acidic types of food.
After an acid attack, teeth can repair themselves, given the opportunity. It helps if fluoride (a mineral that is an ingredient in most toothpaste) is present in the mouth.
Most dental problems can be avoided if you:
Remove plaque by brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
Don't have sugary and / or acidic food and drink too often during the day. Try to have these mostly at mealtimes, not in between.
Chew sugar-free gum, which can also help as this increases the flow of salvia which helps teeth to repair themselves.
Between meals you should only have 'safe' drinks, which are not sugary or acidic. Milk and water are 'safe' drinks. So are tea and coffee if you don't add sugar to them (you can use non-sugar sweeteners).
You should try and avoid snacking between meals. If you do snack, only have 'safe' snacks, which are not sugary or acidic. Vegetables, nuts breads/crackers and plain popcorn are all examples of 'safe' snacks. Dairy products, such as cheese, are also 'safe' snacks for teeth; for the sake of your general health, choose lower fat varieties and don't have too much.
To stay healthy, you should be eating at least 5 portions of vegetables and fruit a day. Although fruits are healthy foods, they contain natural sugars and acids so try not to eat these too often | eng | a5746014-9e05-471f-a1f2-e8528586ee14 | https://www.cleardental.net/blog-post/healthy-eating/ |
How far can you drive on empty
For a driver, being trapped on the road with an empty tank may be a nightmare, especially on lengthy travels, that's why it's advisable to know how far can you drive on empty, especially for your car. Or, occasionally, the fuel-low alert merely appears, and you begin to worry that there are no gas stations nearby.
If you've ever had a car, it's likely that you've encountered the gas light turning on at inconvenient times more frequently than you'd want to admit. Even though you've probably managed to get to the closest gas station most of the time on fumes, the unknown may be incredibly nerve-wracking.
Thus in this article, we'll be discussing how far can you drive on empty.
So, let's dive in!
Contents
How far can you drive on empty
The image was recently shared on Your Mechanic's blog, which also included a warning that driving with little fuel, or worse yet, running out of petrol, can potentially harm your automobile. So, even though it's probably not a smart idea to drive on empty, it does happen occasionally. In light of this, the business made a chart showing how many gallons are in your tank when the gas light comes on and how far you can travel with that amount of fuel depending on the anticipated gas mileage of your vehicle. According to Your Mechanic, the chart includes the top 50 selling automobiles in the United States in 2015.
According to the table, depending on the car, you may anticipate traveling anywhere between 30 and more than 100 miles on a nearly empty tank. The actual figures will, of course, differ depending on your driving style, the state of your automobile, and other factors, therefore Your Mechanic underlines that they are all only approximations.
Can running your car on empty harm it?
Yes. When the gas tank is empty, the engine sucks air from the tank, which causes the automobile to suddenly stop. Additionally, the particles that build up in the gasoline tank will block the fuel filter. This screws up the readings on the fuel gauge in addition to damaging the fuel pump.
Additionally, the fuel filter is not surrounded by gas when there is no gas in the tank. This might cause overheating and failure as a result. A bad fuel pump may be quite expensive to replace.
Is it acceptable to operate a vehicle without fuel?
Technically speaking, it is conceivable to drive with an empty tank. However, you are given access to this option so that you can travel to the closest gas station to replenish your vehicle. You don't want to be trapped on the road while traveling, which an empty fuel tank might also cause. Consider being stranded in the middle of nowhere with no access to help or cellular service. Fill up the petrol tank to stop worrying about how far you can go on a single tank.
Does operating a vehicle with a low fuel level hurt the catalytic converter?
Yes. A key component of the car's fuel system is the catalytic converter. Driving on empty increases your chance of stalling, which over time could harm the catalytic converter in your car. This calls for changing or fixing the component, which can drain your bank account. Before figuring out how far you can drive on nothing and ultimately not filling up your tank, it is best to bear this information in mind.

FAQs
How far can you drive on empty in KM?
This is a reasonable inquiry to ask after your gas light comes on. Although there isn't a set standard because different automakers turn the light on depending on how much gas is still in the tank, a good rule of thumb is between 50 and 90 kilometers.
How long can you drive on empty?
The tank will typically light up when it is just 10% to 15% full. According to Muoz, it is generally safe to travel up to 50 miles in a larger car and 20 to 30 miles in a smaller vehicle after the gas light turns on.
Do cars have reserve fuel?
Most of the time, when the fuel tank hits the reserve levels, the low fuel alarm goes off. The reserve fuel level in the majority of cars is between 10 and 15 percent of the tank's maximum capacity.
How far can you drive on no fuel?
It turns out that even with low gasoline levels, cars can still travel quite a distance. However, it's vital to note that driving with the fuel warning light on should be greatly avoided, even though your automobile may be able to go an additional 50 miles or more before running out of petrol.
How many Litres left when the petrol light comes on?
They discovered that once the warning light illuminates, the tank typically has roughly 10 liters (2.6 US gallons) of fuel left.
Is it bad to drive with low fuel?
What effects do running your automobile on empty have? Running your automobile low on gas is generally not a good idea because it might lead to overheating of various engine components. The fuel pump, engine, and catalytic converter are just a few of the vital parts that suffer when the fuel runs out.
How far can I drive my car on 0 miles?
The typical distance that you can drive when the fuel light comes on is 49 miles. You won't be guaranteed any more miles after the indicator reaches zero, but it's probable you'll get a few more from the tank.
How much fuel is on empty?
When the gasoline light turns on, drivers typically have around 50 miles remaining in their tank, which is about three times more than they think they do. But how much do reserve ranges vary based on your vehicle's make and model?
What happens when you run out of petrol?
The engine will begin to draw in more air when you run out of fuel. Since gasoline and air must be mixed in order for a petrol engine to function, it is 'accustomed' to having some air in it. For this reason, you may be able to fill up your tank again and continue driving.
How many Litres are in a reserve tank?
You can assume that you have about 4-5 liters of petrol remaining in your automobile, which has a fuel tank capacity of about 40-50 liters after the reserve light or low fuel light starts blinking. Depending on how and where you are driving, the remaining 4-5 liters of fuel may be used.
How far can a Toyota Corolla go on empty?
The Toyota Corolla can travel between 45 and 47 miles on empty, depending on the model year and the terrain you're traveling on. This should give you plenty of time to find a filling station because it often has more miles than other compact versions that are identical. Simply exercise extra caution going forward.
That's all for this article where we discussed How far can you drive on empty. Hope it was helpful. If so, kindly share. Thanks for reading. | eng | 0881a314-12e4-4dbf-bc9c-3bdc1c1a5a64 | https://studentlesson.com/how-far-can-you-drive-on-empty/ |
Claiming that the cause of diarrhea in infants and children is caused by polluted water, swimming pool, food stored in improper conditions or allergic factors, pediatric specialist Dr. Başak Tanır said: "Summer diarrhea is one of the diseases that we often see in children, especially in the summer period. While there are more viral or bacterial factors in infants and children, we see more diarrhea caused by polluted water, swimming pool, food stored in improper conditions or allergies.
Treatment depends on the cause of diarrhea
Dr. Dr. Tanir gave the following information about the measures to be taken with regard to diarrhoea: "First of all, it is very important that babies with diarrhea do not become dehydrated. It must be protected from water loss. Water loss is one of the factors that makes our diarrhea worse, prolongs the duration of the illness and causes hospitalizations. Therefore, fluid therapy must be performed correctly in our children. The fluid he takes in should be more than the fluid he expels through sweating or vomiting. The culprit must also be found. If the cause is viral or bacterial, we treat accordingly. If it is caused by contamination, the child's diarrhea usually clears up when the contaminated food is expelled from the body. In this case, treatment is interrupted, but it is very important that the child is well fed until full recovery. Sufficient and correct moisture must be given. We should also give some salty foods. Fatty and sugary foods should be avoided as they may cause the child to have diarrhea for a prolonged period of time.
Sweating can accelerate water loss
Tanır explained that children with diarrhea, sweating and thus thirst increase with the heat. Tanır stated that the fluid balance in these children should be well regulated and said, "Children with diarrhea will sweat more in the heat, so the fluid loss becomes deeper. Therefore, the moisture balance must be maintained better. In such cases, probiotics are our strongest advocate. Probiotic drugs regulate the stomach and intestinal flora and make it pass faster. Zinc-containing drugs also regulate the intestinal mucosa, so that diarrhea can be overcome in a shorter time." said.
Hygiene must be taken care of
Pointing out that attention should be paid to hygiene in the summer period, says Dr. Tanır gave the following information about the measures that can be taken against diarrhea: "We want children to pay attention to hand hygiene, especially in playgrounds and gardens. Foods such as creamy, milky foods, ice cream, which spoil in a short time should be purchased from reliable places. Attention should be paid to the storage conditions of perishable foods. Perishable foods, especially chicken, rice, and creamy foods, should be consumed fresh. Don't keep waiting" | eng | ec1470fc-4a22-41e3-aa8a-295f4b73c654 | https://blog.dizih.com/summer-diarrhea-warning-from-an-expert-trigger-for-fatty-and-sugary-foods/ |

Are Pesticides On Fruit Harmful?
Eating
Acute Health Effects: Ingesting high levels of pesticides or consuming fruits with acute pesticide contamination can lead to immediate health effects such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, dizziness, headaches, or allergic reactions. These symptoms may vary depending on the specific pesticide and the individual's sensitivity.
Chronic Health Effects: Long-term exposure to low levels of pesticide residues through regular consumption of contaminated fruits may contribute to chronic health effects. Some studies suggest a potential link between chronic pesticide exposure and certain health conditions, including hormonal disruptions, developmental issues, neurological disorders, and increased risk of certain cancers. However, the direct causal relationship is complex and often difficult to establish.
Children and Vulnerable Groups: Children are particularly susceptible to the potential health risks associated with pesticide exposure due to their developing bodies and relatively higher intake of fruits. Pregnant women, nursing mothers, and individuals with compromised immune systems or pre-existing health conditions may also be more vulnerable to the adverse effects of pesticide residues.
Pesticide Regulations: It's important to note that regulatory bodies in different countries set maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides on fruits and vegetables. These limits are established based on scientific studies and aim to ensure that the levels of pesticide residues in food are within acceptable safety thresholds. Adhering to proper agricultural practices, including the appropriate application of pesticides, helps minimize residue levels and maintain compliance with regulatory standards.
To reduce the potential risks of pesticide consumption from fruits:
Wash Fruits: Thoroughly wash fruits with clean water before consumption to remove dirt, debris, and a portion of pesticide residues on the surface.
Peel or Remove Outer Layers: Peeling or removing outer layers of fruits can further reduce pesticide exposure, as residues tend to accumulate on the skin.
Choose Organic or Locally Grown: Opt for organic fruits or those sourced from local farms that follow organic or sustainable practices, as they are less likely to have high pesticide residues.
Diversify Diet: Eating a diverse range of fruits and vegetables helps minimize exposure to a single type of pesticide, as residue levels can vary among different produce.
Follow Dietary Guidelines: Adhere to recommended dietary guidelines, which advocate for a balanced and varied diet that includes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and other nutritious foods.
If you have concerns about pesticide residues or specific health conditions, it is advisable to consult with healthcare professionals or local food safety authorities for personalized guidance.
Can you see pesticides on fruit?
Pesticides are typically not visible on the surface of fruits. They are applied in very small quantities and are often designed to be absorbed or adhere to the plant's tissues. Therefore, you cannot visually detect pesticide residues on fruits without the use of specialized equipment or testing methods.
Pesticide residues are usually present in trace amounts, and their visibility is limited to the microscopic level. Analytical techniques such as laboratory testing or specialized equipment like mass spectrometers are required to accurately detect and quantify pesticide residues on fruits.
It's important to note that regulatory authorities and food safety organizations set maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides on fruits and vegetables. These limits are based on scientific research and are designed to ensure that the levels of pesticide residues in food are within acceptable safety thresholds. Regular monitoring and testing are conducted to enforce compliance with these regulations and protect consumer health.
To minimize pesticide exposure from fruits, it is recommended to wash them thoroughly with clean water before consumption. This practice helps remove dirt, debris, and potential surface contaminants, including some pesticide residues. Additionally, choosing organic or locally grown produce can reduce exposure to synthetic pesticides, as organic farming practices restrict their use.
If you have concerns about pesticide residues on fruits or want more information about specific fruits and their pesticide levels, you can refer to local food safety authorities or consult reliable sources that provide pesticide residue data for different produce items.
How harmful to humans are the pesticides, waxes etc. sprayed on fruits and vegetables in the produce section of a typical supermarket?
The potential harm to humans from pesticides, waxes, and other substances sprayed on fruits and vegetables in the produce section of a typical supermarket depends on several factors, including the type of pesticides used, their application methods, and the level of exposure. Here are some important points to consider:
Pesticide Residues: Fruits and vegetables may contain pesticide residues as a result of agricultural practices aimed at controlling pests and diseases. However, it's important to note that regulatory bodies set maximum residue limits (MRLs) for pesticides on produce. These limits are based on extensive scientific research and are established to ensure that the levels of pesticide residues in food are within acceptable safety thresholds.
Safety Regulations: Government agencies around the world, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the United States and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) in Europe, regulate and monitor the use of pesticides in food production. They assess the potential risks and establish guidelines to protect consumer health.
Risk Assessment: Before a pesticide is approved for use, it undergoes rigorous testing to determine its potential impact on human health. This includes evaluating acute toxicity, chronic effects, and long-term exposure scenarios. The goal is to ensure that the approved pesticides pose minimal risks to human health when used according to the specified guidelines.
Adherence to Regulations: Supermarkets and growers must comply with regulations and guidelines regarding the use of pesticides, waxes, and other substances on produce. Regular inspections and quality control measures are in place to enforce compliance and maintain food safety standards.
Washing and Preparation: Consumers can further reduce potential pesticide exposure by properly washing fruits and vegetables before consumption. This helps remove dirt, debris, and some surface residues. Peeling or removing outer layers can also reduce exposure to pesticide residues, as they tend to accumulate on the skin.
Organic Options: Choosing organic produce provides an alternative for individuals seeking to minimize exposure to synthetic pesticides. Organic farming practices restrict the use of synthetic pesticides and instead rely on natural methods to control pests and diseases.
It's important to remember that the benefits of consuming a varied and balanced diet that includes fruits and vegetables generally outweigh the potential risks associated with pesticide residues. However, individuals with specific concerns or health conditions may choose to consult with healthcare professionals or opt for organic produce.
How could pesticides be removed from fruit naturally?
To naturally remove pesticides from fruits, you can follow these simple steps:
Wash with Water: Thoroughly rinse the fruits under cool, running water. This helps remove dirt, debris, and some surface pesticide residues. Gently rub the fruit while rinsing to enhance the effectiveness.
Use Vinegar Solution: Create a natural cleaning solution by mixing one part vinegar with three parts water. Soak the fruits in this solution for about 15-20 minutes. The acidity of vinegar can help break down and remove certain pesticide residues.
Baking Soda Paste: Another option is to make a paste using baking soda and water. Apply this paste to the surface of the fruits and gently rub it in. Let it sit for a few minutes before rinsing thoroughly.
Lemon Juice: Squeezing fresh lemon juice over the fruits and then rinsing them with water can also help reduce pesticide residues. The natural acidity of lemon juice aids in removing certain pesticides.
Peel or Remove Outer Layers: Peeling the fruits or removing the outer layers can eliminate a significant portion of pesticide residues, as they tend to accumulate on the skin. However, keep in mind that valuable nutrients are often found in the skin, so consider the trade-off between pesticide exposure and nutritional benefits.
It's important to note that these methods may not completely eliminate all pesticide residues, as some pesticides can penetrate the fruit's tissues or be present systemically. However, they can help reduce surface residues and minimize exposure.
The presence of pesticides in fruits and vegetables does not necessarily mean they are directly causing harm or "killing" us. Pesticides are used in agricultural practices to protect crops from pests and diseases, ensuring a stable and abundant food supply. However, it is important to address concerns and provide some context:
Regulation and Safety Standards: Pesticides used in food production are regulated by government agencies to establish maximum residue limits (MRLs). These limits are set based on extensive scientific research and aim to ensure that the levels of pesticide residues in food are within acceptable safety thresholds.
Risk Assessment: Before a pesticide is approved for use, it undergoes rigorous testing to evaluate its potential impact on human health. This includes assessing acute toxicity, chronic effects, and long-term exposure scenarios. The goal is to ensure that approved pesticides pose minimal risks to human health when used according to specified guidelines.
Low Residue Levels: Pesticide residues found on fruits and vegetables are generally present in trace amounts. Adhering to recommended washing and preparation methods, such as rinsing with water or using natural cleaning solutions, can further reduce residue levels.
Balanced Diet Benefits: Consuming a varied and balanced diet that includes fruits and vegetables provides essential nutrients and contributes to overall health. The benefits of consuming these nutrient-rich foods generally outweigh the potential risks associated with pesticide residues.
It's crucial to consider that potential risks associated with pesticide exposure vary depending on factors such as the type of pesticide, level of exposure, and individual sensitivity. While some studies suggest a possible link between chronic pesticide exposure and certain health conditions, establishing direct causality is complex.

Secured Loan CollateralWhen you need cash for a major cost, it may be tempting to borrow a credit card from a payday loan or max it out. However you have other choices that won't hurt your reputation or place you in a debt loop–even if your reputation isn't so great. Collateral loans may be a way of borrowing the money you need. Here's how they are operating.
What Are Loans Collateral?Can a personal loan be refinanced?
With a secured loan, if you are unable to pay the loan back, the lender can take possession of the asset. This provides you as a borrower with a greater risk but it reduces the risk on the part of the lender. That's why secured loans can be easier to get approved for and can be less costly too.
Collateral is what helps to secure a loan.
If you borrow money, you understand (somewhere in the fine print) that if you fail to repay the loan, the lender will take it away and sell it to get back their money. Collateral makes it easier to receive big loans, and if you are having a hard time obtaining a loan, it increases the chances of getting approval.
The lender takes less chances when you pledge collateral, meaning you're more likely to get a good rate.
When a lender needs some guarantee that they will not lose any money, collateral is sometimes needed. If you do pledge an asset for collateral, a lender is entitled to have action taken (assuming that you decide to stop making loan payments): they can take possession of your collateral, either sell it and even use the sales proceeds to help pay off the secured loan collateral.
Collateral Types
Any assets that your lender does accept for collateral (and that are permitted by law) may serve for collateral. Generally speaking, lenders prefer easy-to-value assets, which turn it into cash. Money kept in a savings account, for example, is a great tool for collateral: lenders who know how much it is worth, and it is easy to gather. Some common types of collateral can include:
Vehicles
Cash accounts
Investment
Insurance policies and more
Even if you receive a small business loan, you may undertake the purchase.
If you need funds to pay bills or make changes to your house, and think the solution is in refinancing, a second mortgage, or a home equity loan, consider carefully your choices. If you can't afford the payments you will lose both your home and the equity you've built up. Speak to us before you make any decisions about using your home as collateral to borrow money.
Early Warning Signs
Don't let someone speak to you about using your home as leverage for borrowing money that you might not be able to repay. High interest rates and cost of credit will make borrowing money very costly, even though you are using your home as collateral. Not all creditors or creditors (known as "creditors") are created equal. Some unscrupulous creditors threaten elderly or low income homeowners and credit-probleming individuals. Such investors will provide loans based on your home's equity and not on your ability to repay the loan.
When borrowing money everybody wants the best rate possible. Securing your loan with collateral could provide you with more borrowing power and lower interest rates— even if you have less than ideal loans.
Yet collateral loans — also known as secured loans— also come with certain risks. These have shorter repayment terms and potentially lose the house when you repay the loan as agreed.
If you have bad finances, be sure to get educated about the ins and outs of getting a personal loan. Your choice of loans can be minimal, and interest rate and fee costs can inevitably send even the most well-intentioned borrowers into a financial tailspin.
When you have little to no credit history, or if your credit record is too dinged up for you to get an unsecured loan, a secured credit card will provide you with the versatility of a credit line and a way to create credit for secured loan collateral | eng | 13eb4a91-dad5-4a2d-a48f-df6ba66b30d7 | https://www.usafundingpros.com/secured-loan-collateral/ |
TRAVEL INSURANCE
BUY VISITORS MEDICAL INSURANCE
Many senior citizens are regular globe-hoppers. After a lifetime of saving, and the freedom of retirement or semi-retirement, seniors often have the ability to travel more often and to more places than their younger counterparts.
However, traveling internationally as a senior citizen presents its own sets of challenges. You may be more risk-averse than you once were, more concerned with security, and have health conditions to contend with. So, how do you balance having a great time on your next vacation with staying safe? Read on to find out.
Consider Your Destination Carefully
Though it's impossible to avoid all risks when traveling abroad, you can minimize them by staying informed. Regardless of what country you're from, a good resource for doing so is the US Department of State. They publish and regularly update Travel Advisories, where they assign a risk level to different countries based on numerous factors ranging from natural disasters to political unrest. Department of State Travel Advisories are usually categorized as follows:
Level 1: Exercise normal precautions
Level 2: Exercise increased caution
Level 3: Reconsider travel
Level 4: Do not travel
You can view an updated list of Department of State Travel Advisories on the official government website, along with explanations for each.
Utilize the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP)
This program in particular is only for US citizens or nationals, but you may be able to find a similar program for your own home country with an online search.
The Smart Traveler Enrollment Program is useful because it allows the US embassy or consulate to send you important travel and safety information that's specific to your destination. Also, if a crisis does occur while you're abroad, the STEP can allow the embassy and your loved ones to contact you more easily.
Packing Medications and Health Records
Senior citizens should follow this checklist before any trip abroad:
Bring copies of all of your current prescriptions and medical records.
If you're taking a prescription, pack enough supply for the entire trip duration, plus an extra 10 days in case you get delayed.
Bring along OTC medications like antacids, cough drops, antidiarrheals, and NSAID pain relievers (check ahead of time that it is legal to bring all medications into your destination country).
Pack all medications in your carryon bag, so you will still have them if your checked luggage gets lost or delayed.
Make a list of generic and brand-name substitutes for the medication you take, as you may not be able to find exact replacements abroad.
Safety Tips Once on Your Trip
Take two credit cards. If one gets stolen or lost, having a backup can simplify things significantly.
Carry your cash and cards in a money belt instead of a wallet or purse to reduce the risk of pickpocketing.
Always lock your hotel room door, lock your suitcase, and secure your suitcase to a bedframe or other solid object using a cable lock when you're out for the day.
Read the hotel's evacuation information, usually located on the back of the door. It's essential to know in case of a fire or other emergency.
Don't give your hotel name to strangers. If someone asks where you're staying, just give a general answer like "near the airport" or some other well-known landmark.
If you're traveling to a country where your native language isn't spoken, learn local words for things like "fire," "help," "hospital," and "police."
Store the contact numbers of your hotel, the local police station, and nearest hospital in your phone for quick access if necessary.
Purchase Proper Insurance
Even if you follow all the safety tips mentioned above, certain things are out of your control while on an international trip. This is why it's essential that you have the right insurance coverage.
If you're traveling abroad to a destination outside the United States, buy travel medical insurance. It can allow you to receive treatment for new medical conditions that occur after the effective date of the policy, without being solely responsible for paying the full bill yourself. Certain plans can also include valuable coverage for things like emergency medical evacuation, which is especially important if you're traveling to a destination with limited medical facilities.
Regardless of where you're from or what your destination is, it's important to remember that your domestic insurance coverage is unlikely to be accepted or provide sufficient coverage in another country. So, utilize the tips in this article and purchase an appropriate insurance plan for maximum protection in case the unexpected occurs | eng | ad8c3d98-3332-49fe-bff3-22e58744ae20 | https://www.insubuy.com/safety-tips-for-seniors-traveling-abroad/ |
Among a people like the Egyptians it would not be very long before the annual rise, and
inundation, and fall of the Nile would be compared to the chief periods in the lives of men, and
before the renewed rise of the Nile in the following year would be compared to man's
immortality, which in Egypt was taken for granted from the earliest times; and that this exactly is
what happened the hierglyphic texts suppply abundant proof. Unfortunately, however, we find
nowhere in Egyptian works a connected narrative of the life, acts and deeds, and sufferings
and death, and resurrection of Osiris, the man-god, but we possess a tolerably accurate
account of them in Plutarch's De Iside et Osiride. According to these Osiris
was the son of Rhea, the Egyptian Nut, the wife of Helios, the Egyptian Ra, by Kronos, the
Egyptian Seb. When Helios found his wife was with child by Seb he declared that she should
not be delivered of her child of any month or on any year. By a stratagem, Hermes, the
Egyptian Thoth, played at tables with Selene, and won from her the seventieth part of each
day of the year, i.e., in all five days Osiris was born, and a voice was heard to proclaim that
the lord of creation was born. In due course he became king of Egypt and taught men
husbandry, and established a code of laws, and made men worship the gods. When Egypt
had become peaceful and prosperous he set out to instruct the other nations of the world, and
Isis riled Egypt during his absence. On his return Typhon, the Egyptian Set, and his
seventy-two comrades, made Osirsi to lie down in a chest, which was immediately closed by
them, and cast into the Nile, which carried it down to its Tanaitic mouths. When Isis heard
what had befallen her husband she cut off the lock of her hair as a sign of grief, and then set
out to find his dead body. At length she traced it to Byblos, where it had been carried by the
sea, and she found that the waves had gently laid it among the branches of a tamarisk tree,
which had grown to a magnificent size, and had enclosed the chest within its trunk. The
Babylos here referred to is not Byblos in Phoenicia, but the papyrus swamps of Egypt, which
are carried in Egyptian Athu, a name meaning "papyrus plants;" the Greeks rendered the
Egyptian word for "papyrus" the Greeks rendered the Egyptian word for "papyrus" by BuBros,
and some copyist of the Greek text misunderstood the signification of the word in
this passage, and rendered it by the name of the city of Phoenicia.
The king of the country, admiring the tree, had it cut down and made a pillar for the roof of his
house; it is this tree trunk which is referred to by the hierhlyphic sign tet, and which is continually
used in the texts with reference to Osiris. It has been said to represent a mason's table, but
the four cross-bars have nothing to do with such a thing, for they are intended to indicate the
four branches of a roof-tree of a which were turned to the four cardinal points. When Isis
heard that the tree had been cut down, she went to the palace of the king, and through the
good offices of the royal maidens she was made nurse to the king's son. Instead of nursing the
child in the ordinary way, Isis gave him her finger to suck, and each night she put him the fire
to consume his mortal parts, changing herself all the while into a swallow an bemoaning her fate.
On one occasion the queen saw her son in the flames, and cried out, and thus deprived him of
immortality. Then Isis told the queen her story, and begged for the pillar which supported the
roof. This she cut open, and took out the chest and her husband's body, and departed with
them to Egypt; having arrived there she hid the chest and set in quest of her son Horus.
One night, however, Typhon was out hunting by the light of the moon, an he found the chest,
and recognizing the body, tore it into fourteen pieces, which he scattered up and down
throughout the land. When Isis heard of this she took a boat made of papyrus --- a plant
abhorred by crocodiles--- and sailing about she gathered together the fragments of Osiris's
body, wheresoever she found one, and buried it and built a tomb over it. Meanwhile Horus
had grown up, and being encouraged in the use of arms by Osiris, who returned from the
other world, he went out to do battle with Typhon the murderer of his father. The fight lasted
some days, and Typhon was made captive, and was given over to the custody of Isis who,
however, set him free. Horus in his rage tore from her head the royal diadem, but Thoth gave
her a helmet in the shape of a cow's head. In two other battles fought between Horus and
Thphon Horus was the victor. The great battle between Horus and Thphon took place, we are
told in the Ivth Sallier Papyrus, on the 26th day of the month Thoth ; they first fought in
the form of two men, but afterwards changed themselves into two bears, and they passed
three days and three nights in this form.
VICTORY OF HORUS
From the above summary it is clear that the Egyptians believed that Osiris was
the sun of a god and lived a good life upon earth as a wise and just king, that he was slain
by the malice of evil men, that hios body was mutilated, and that his wife Isis collected his
limbs which had been scattered throughout Egypt by Set, or Thphon, and that Osiris by some
means obtained a new life in the next world, where he reigned as god and king. The
hieroglyphic texts contain abundant testimony that the statements of Plutarch are substantially
correct, and from first to last Osiris was to the Egyptins the god-man who suffered, and died,
and rose again, and reigned eternally in heaven. They believed that they would inherit eternal
life, just as he had done, provided that what was done for him by the gods was done for them,
and they made use of amulets, and magical texts of all kind, and performed ceremonies
connected with sympathetic magic in order that they might compel Osiris and the gods who
had brought about his resurrection {i.e., Thoth, "lord of divine words, the scibe of tyhe gods,"
and Isis, who made use of the words with which Thoth supplied her, and Horus and his
companion gods whpo performed the symbolic ceremonies which were effectual in producing
the reconstruction of the body of Osiris and its revivifcation} the act on their behalf even as
they had acted for the god. The species of the amulets used were constant, and they appear to
have sixteen in number, four figures of the children of Horus each with his characteristic
head, four lapis-lazuli Tet pillars, two bulls, a figure of Horus a figure of Thoth, two carnelian
Tet pillars, and two lapis-lazuli utchats.
According to Plutarch the number of portions into which Set tore the body of Osiris was
fourteen , but the hieroglyohic texts give at tomes fourteen and at others sixteen ; the cities and
santuaries these were buried are :
In the late period of Egyptian history, i.e., in Graeco-Roman times, the sanctuaries of Osiris
were fourty-two in number ; in other words, each nome possessed its central shrine of Osiris,
which was called a "Serapeum," or the place where Serapis was worshipped, but this
happened because Osiris Khent Amenti was identified with Serapis, who was not the god
Osiris himself, but only a dead Apis bull which had become an Osiris. It has already been said
that in some lists the sanctuaries of Osiris are stated to be sixteen, because in the inscriptions
at Dendera which refer to the "mysteries" of Osiris, the statue of Seker-Osiris, which played
such a prominent part in the ceremonies perormed there, was made up to fourteen pieces,
although sixteen members of the body of Osiris are :--- his head, the souls of his feet, his
bones, his arms, his heart, his interior, his tongue, his eye, his fist, his fingers, his back, his ears,
his loins, his body, his head with the face of a ram, and his hair.
OSIRIS THE MAN-GOD
All the evidence in the subject now available goes to prove, as the paragraphs above show,
that the early Egyptians believed that Osiris was a man-god who was murdered and whose
body was mutilated, and that various members of his body were reconstituted ; and we know
from very interesting text at Dendera that during the month of Khoak a number of festivals
were celebrated at all the chief sanctuaries of Osiris in Egypt, and that elaborate ceremonies
were performed in them in commemoration of every event which took place in te life, death,
and resurrection of the god. In this text the uses of the various santuaries are described, adn
detailed instructions are given for the making of the funeral chest, and the model of the god
which was to be buried in the coffin, and of the incense, and the amulets, and of the fourteen
divine members, and all the materials, etc. which were employed in the ceremonies. On the
xiith day of Khoiak the Festival of the Ploughing of the Earth and the Festival of the Tena,
were celebrated; on the xivth day the Great Festival of Pert ; on the xvith day the Festival of
Osiris Khent Amenti; on the xxivth day the model of the god of the preceding year was taken
out from its palce and buried suitably, and the new Osiris was embalmed in the sanctuary ; on
the last day of the month the Tet was set in Tettu, because on this day the divine members of
Osiris were brought. The new Osiris remained for seven days because of the traditon which
declared that the god had remained for seven days in the womb of his mother Nut when she
was with child.
In connection with the ceremonies in the great sanctuaries, e.g., Dendera, thirty-four papyrus
boats were employed, and these were lit up with 365 lights, or lamps, The gods of Mendes,
with Anubis, occupied one boat ; the remaining twenty-nine boats were dedicated to the
following gods : ---- Mestha, Hapi, Tuamutef, Qebh-Sennuf, Sah-heq, Armauai, Maa-tef-f,
Ast-sen-ari-tcher, Sem, Her-a-f, Sent, Ari-maat-f-tchesef, Sebakhsen, Heqes, Neter-bah,
Qetet, Khenti-heh-f, Aq-her-am-unnut-f, Netcheh-Netcheh, Asbu, Per-em-khet-khet, Er
ta-nef-nebt, Tesher-matti, Khent-het-Anes, Maa-em-qerh, An-f-em-hru-seksek. The above
facts prove that in the Ptolemaic period the views which were held generally about Osiris
were substantially the same as those which were in vogue in the times when
the Pyramid Texts were composed, and it is clear that the cult of Osiris was widespread even
in the Vth Dynasty, or about B.C. 3500.
FORMS OF OSIRIS
From the Pyramid Texts we learn that the dead kings were already identified with Osiris, and
that Osiris was identified with the sun-god, but we have no means of knowing when he was
merged in Seker, the god of the Memphite Underworld. The Heliopolitian priests declared
that he was the son of Seb and Nut, but it is much to be regretted that they did not preserve
for us the genealogy of the god according to the priests of the predynastic period. The festivals
which were celebrated in the month of Khoiak were, no doubt, founded upon very ancient
tradition, but the elaboration of detail given in the texts as Dendera, to which reference has
already been made, does not suggest a primative antiquity, although it shows how deeply
seated was the cult of Osiris in the hearts of the people. The numerous aspects under which
the god was worshipped also show how that some of the original conceptions of the attributes
of the god were forgotten in comparison to early days, both of the foreigners and Egyptians,
and it is this fact which explains how he came to be identified with the sun and moon, and with
the great creative and rejuvenescence, resurrection, and of life of every sort and kind which
has the power of renewing itself.
We must now consider the various forms in which Osiris is represented on the monuments,
and in papyri, etc. The common form of the god is that of a mummy, who wears a beard, and
has the White Crown, and his head, and a menat, hanging from the back of his neck. In a
scene reproduced by Lanzone he appears in a group with the Hawk-god Seker, the
Beetle-god Kheprer, and the goddess Shent, and has two forms, i.e., Osiris, lord of Khut, and
Khent Amenti, and. In another scene he appears in the form of the Tet pillar, and is called
"Osiris Tet," and stands at the head of a bier, on which lies the god Seker in mummied form.
On a stele at Turin Osiris appears in mummified form, seated, and holding in his hands the
sceptre, and the flail or whip ; on his head is the White Crown with plumes, to which the name
Atef is usually given. His titles are "Osiris Khenti-Amentet, Un-nefer, lord of Tatcheser, the
great god, king of the living." Behind him are seated Ptah-Sekri, "the lord of the hidden chest,"
Anpu, "dweller in the city of embalment," Horus, son Isis, and Hathor.As a form of
Khnemu-Ra he has the head of a ram, the horns of which are surmounted by the solar disk
and by four knives. A common symbol of the god is the box which contained the head
and hair of Osiris and which was preserved at Abydos, where these relics were buried.
Elsewhere we see the body of the god bent round backwards in such a way as to form the
region of the Tuat or Underworld. Sometimes the god is seated on a
throne, which is supported on the back of a monster serpent that rests on the top of the
mythological flight of steps, at Henen-Su ; he is accompanied by Maat, Horus, son of Isis,
Thoth, Heka, who holds a serpent in each hand, and the snake-headed goddess Heptet. The
exact part which last-named deity played in connection with Osiris is unknown, but it is certin
that it was of considerable importance, and that the goddess assisted in bringing about his
resurrection. Heptet has the body of a woman with the head of a bearded snake ; on her head
is a pair of horns which is surmounted by a solar disk, Atef Crown, and uraei with disks
and horns, In each hand she holds a knife. | eng | 5fe06047-f6ad-4bc2-b5f8-8451c812e953 | http://www.virtual-egypt.com/newhtml/data/osirform.htm |

Is TMS therapy like electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)?
Is TMS therapy like electroconvulsive therapy (ECT)?
Considering the nature of the process and the fact that patients who experience seizures may not be suitable for treatment, it is understandable to think of TMS therapy and electroconvulsive therapy as one and the same. In truth, there are several key differences between these two types of treatments; in fact, the only thing they really have in common with one another is that they are both types of treatments designed to stimulate and regulate electrical activity within the brain.
However, as stated, there are plenty of differences to note. For one, ECT relies on a heavy usage of electricity because most of it encircles the skull since electricity doesn't want to penetrate the solid surface. The amount of electricity applied induces intentional seizures, whereas TMS therapy is considerably less invasive and doesn't run the same risk of damaging the brain. Nowadays, patients undergoing ECT are put under so the seizures aren't very visible. However, in TMS therapy, no such seizures are necessary; magnetic pulses easily penetrate the skull without going very deep. | eng | 867681e7-b350-4134-9b16-e8be3ae15c5a | https://tmsbraincare.com/avada_faq/tms-therapy-like-electroconvulsive-therapy-ect/ |
NASA Launches Kepler Spacecraft to Search for Earth-Like Planets
April 7, 2009
NASA launches Kepler spacecraft to search for Earth-like planet
NASA recently started searching regions of the Milky Way Galaxy relatively close to us for Earth-like planets. It will do so via the Kepler spacecraft which will monitor the brightness of over 100,000 individual stars simultaneously as it trails the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.
To be detected, a planet must travel between the star it revolves around and Kepler. Then the spacecraft should see a change in the star's brightness of around 100 ppm. (This assumes the planet's orbital path lines up edgewise with Kepler. The probability of such an orbit is 0.5% for a planet in an orbit similar to Earth's, according to NASA.)
The change in a star's brightness should reoccur the next time the planet circles, which should take about a year. This data will let scientists calculate the size of it, along with the mass and size of its star. NASA calculates that if Earth-like planets are common, Kepler should find hundreds of them in its 3.5-year mission, which could stretch to six years. | eng | 849967ed-9b2b-4898-8b64-211c07bbd8a0 | https://www.machinedesign.com/markets/defense/article/21832331/nasa-launches-kepler-spacecraft-to-search-for-earthlike-planets |
Ear Pressure Abnormalities
Most of the time, the pressure in your ear equalizes naturally, but if the eustachian tube (the passageway that connects the middle ear to the back of your nose and throat) is blocked or doesn't work correctly, you may have muffled hearing or clicking in your ears. This can be caused by allergies, a cold or sinus infection and the patient can suffer dizziness and problems with balance. Our doctors provide expert diagnosis and treatment.
Ear Congestion
Ear congestion often accompanies problems with sinuses, allergies and drainage. The feeling of ear congestion can be irritating, cause difficulty in equalizing the pressure in your ears, and make it difficult to keep your balance. Ear congestion is frequently associated with nasal congestion. It is conceivable, however, to have congestion in the ears but not the nose.
It's helpful to know a little about ear anatomy to understand why patients occasionally have congestion in their ears but not in their nose. The Eustachian tube is a tiny canal that runs between the nose and the middle ear. This canal aids in the regulation of middle ear pressure. If the Eustachian tube becomes blocked or congested, it may stop working properly, resulting in ear congestion.
What symptoms might you see if you have ear congestion? Pressure, stuffiness, and fullness in the afflicted ear are common complaints among patients. Ear pain and difficulty hearing could be signs of a problem in the middle ear or ear canal. The ear, nose and throat specialists at Del Rey MD can accurately diagnose ear congestion and recommend effective treatment.
Ear Infections
When the fluid in the middle ear can't drain naturally to the back of your throat, it can become infected by bacteria or a virus. The trapped fluid in the middle ear is why most ear infections happen there. Children are more susceptible to ear infections because their eustachian tubes are shorter and less effective at draining.
Tympanic Membrane Perforations
Tympanic Membrane perforation or a perforated eardrum is a hole or rupture in the eardrum. A perforated eardrum is often accompanied by decreased hearing and occasional discharge. The causes of perforated eardrum are usually trauma or infection. Eardrum perforations may heal on their own or may require outpatient surgery. It is imperative to be evaluated by a specialist because treatment depends on each unique case and the severity of the perforation.
Surfer's Ear
Surfer's ear is an ear canal condition that can significantly affect normal hearing. Surfer's ear is caused by repeated exposure to cold water and wind. Cooling of the ear canal stimulates bone growth that narrows the canal and blocks the eardrum. This narrowing traps water and earwax in the canal, often resulting in painful ear infections and hearing loss. It is called Surfer's Ear because surfers often confront cold water for much longer periods of time than most swimmers.
Typically when the hearing is significantly decreased, surgery is recommended to remove the bone that has built up. Dr. Sigari of Del Rey MD achieves this surgery all through the ear canal which replaces the traditional incision behind the ear, hence the term incision-less surfer's ear surgery. The advantages for the patient are less exposure to noise during surgery that can damage hearing, more rapid healing and a faster return to water sports. This is an important aspect for patients who suffer from surfer's ear, as they often lead active lives and fast recovery is paramount.
Eustachian Tube Dysfunction
A passageway called the eustachian tube connects the middle ear to the back of your nose and throat and equalizes the pressure in your ear. If the eustachian tube becomes blocked and doesn't work correctly, you may have muffled hearing or hear clicking in your ears. Also, if fluid in the middle ear can't drain naturally to the back of your throat, it can become infected. If you suffer any condition in which you feel uncomfortable pressure in your ears or pain, schedule an appointment with us as soon as possible. These conditions can worsen quickly, so it's best to be seen right away. | eng | adfd614e-41e7-41ae-abf8-61ecf0a81318 | https://www.delreymd.com/ear-conditions/ |
Amazingly Easy: How to Use a Camping Coffee Percolator
Introduction: camping trips provide an opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and reconnect with nature. While away, one of the things that campers miss the most is their daily cup of coffee. That's why having the right equipment—like a camping coffee percolator—is essential for your next outdoor adventure. A camping coffee percolator is specifically designed to make great-tasting coffee in an outdoor setting. In this blog post, we will teach you the basic techniques you need to know to make the perfect cup of camping coffee every morning while you're out in nature.
As an experienced camper and father of three myself, I understand how important it is to have a good cup of coffee while camping. I've tried all sorts of setups over the years, from campfire coffee to the trusty French press. But recently, I discovered the magical world of percolated coffee and I've never looked back.
To get the most out of a camping coffee percolator, it's important to understand how they work. A camping coffee percolator is basically a coffeepot combined with a vertical stovetop cooker. A vertical chamber is connected to the top of the pot with a tube, while a stem is connected at the bottom of the pot. When you put the percolator on the stovetop or campfire, the heat causes the water to rise up the tube and fall back down over the ground coffee in the stem. As the water falls, it picks up the flavor and aroma of the coffee grounds, resulting in a richly flavored cup of coffee.
Now that you understand the basics of how a camping coffee percolator works, it's time to get started! Here are the steps you need to follow to brew the perfect cup of camping coffee.
1. Start by prepping your camping coffee percolator. Start by filling the pot with cold water—about 6-8 cups—which is enough for 6-8 people. Next, add enough coffee grounds for the amount of people you plan to serve. For 6 cups, use 2½ tablespoons. For 8 cups, ¼ of a cup should be enough.
2. Place the stem near the bottom of the pot and the tube near the top. You want to make sure that the stem is high enough so that the grounds won't fall through the hole on the top of the pot.
3. Place the camping coffee percolator on your campfire, or stovetop. Make sure the stem is firmly secured, and then turn the heat up to medium-high.
4. Once the water is boiling, you'll begin to notice the characteristic "perking" sound that gives this method of making coffee its name. This is the sound of the boiling water moving up the tube and then dripping down over the grounds.
5. Allow the perking process to continue for 4-5 minutes. If you're seeing little droplets form around the tube, it's a good indicator that it's almost done.
6. Once the process is complete, remove the camping coffee percolator from the heat and let it cool down for a minute. This will allow the coffee grounds to settle at the bottom.
7. To serve your perfect cup of camping coffee, use the detached cup that comes standard with nearly all camping coffee percolators. It should have a spout on one side that will drain the liquid from the pot into your cup. Once it's filled, your coffee is ready to enjoy!
Using a camping coffee percolator is a great way to make a delicious cup of coffee while you're out in nature. The process is not too complicated, and the end result is as good as or better than that of drip or French press coffee makers. So the next time you go camping, give this method a try and let us know how it goes! | eng | 80bc76d3-c7a7-41b9-b24a-d558d36d0537 | https://campkulin.com.au/amazingly-easy-how-to-use-a-camping-coffee-percolator/ |
Can You Have Vinegar on the Daniel Fast
Yes, you can have vinegar on the Daniel Fast. The Bible doesn't specifically mention vinegar, but it does allow for the use of fruit juices and other liquids made from fruits and vegetables.
What to Eat (and avoid) on the Daniel Fast
The Daniel Fast is a spiritual discipline in which participants consume only fruits, vegetables, and water for 21 days
Some people choose to add vinegar to their diet during the fast as a way to increase its health benefits
Vinegar is thought to help with weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and improve gut health
There are a few different ways to include vinegar in your diet during the Daniel Fast:
5
You can add it to your water or juice each day, or use it in place of salad dressing
You can also take shots of vinegar throughout the day or before meals
Can You Have Balsamic Vinegar on Daniel Fast
When people think of balsamic vinegar, they typically think of a thick, syrupy condiment that is used to add flavor to salad dressings and other dishes. However, what many people don't realize is that balsamic vinegar can also be used as part of a Daniel Fast.
For those who are not familiar, the Daniel Fast is a spiritual discipline that involves abstaining from certain foods for a period of time in order to focus on prayer and meditation.
The specific foods that are included or excluded from the diet vary depending on interpretation, but typically some or all animal products, alcohol, caffeine, leavened breads, and anything else that might be considered "unclean" are off-limits. Some people also choose to fast from television, social media, and other forms of entertainment during this time.
So how does balsamic vinegar fit into the Daniel Fast?
Well, it really depends on how you interpret the rules. For some people, any form of vinegar is allowed because it is made from fermented grapes (which would technically make it wine). Others argue that since balsamic vinegar has been cooked down and reduced considerably, it no longer contains any alcohol and can therefore be consumed without issue.
Ultimately it's up to you to decide what you feel comfortable eating while participating in the Daniel Fast.
If you do choose to include balsamic vinegar as part of your diet during this time, there are plenty of delicious recipes out there that make use of this ingredient. From simple salads to more complex main dishes, incorporating balsamic vinegar into your meals will help add flavor and variety while still adhering to the guidelines of the fast.
Can You Have Cinnamon on Daniel Fast
If you're following the Daniel Fast, you may be wondering if you can have cinnamon. Here's what you need to know.
The Daniel Fast is a 21-day fast based on the biblical book of Daniel.
It's a popular fast among Christians who are looking to deepen their faith and draw closer to God.
While there are no specific guidelines about what you can and cannot eat on the Daniel Fast, most people choose to abstain from all animal products, including meat, dairy, and eggs. Additionally, many people also avoid processed foods, caffeine, alcohol, and solid fats during the fast.
So where does that leave cinnamon? Technically speaking, cinnamon is allowed on the Daniel Fast since it doesn't fall into any of the above categories. However, some people choose to avoid it because it is a spice that is often used in sweet dishes (such as desserts).
If you're trying to avoid sweets during your fast, then you may want to steer clear of cinnamon as well.
At the end of the day, it's up to you whether or not you want to include cinnamon in your Daniel Fast diet. If you do decide to eat it, just be mindful of how much sugar or other sweeteners you're adding to your food.
Can You Have Salt on the Daniel Fast
If you're interested in trying out the Daniel Fast, you may be wondering if you can have salt on this type of fasting plan. The answer is yes! Although salt is not specifically mentioned in the Bible as being part of the Daniel Fast, it is included as an acceptable seasoning to use while following this fast.
This means that you can add a little bit of salt to your food to help enhance the flavor, but you should still avoid processed foods and other items that are high in sodium. So go ahead and enjoy your food with a little bit of salt – just don't overdo it!
Why No Herbal Tea on Daniel Fast
When it comes to Daniel Fast, there is no room for herbal tea. The fast is a time of spiritual cleansing and renewal, during which we abstain from all food and drink except water. Herbal teas are made from plants and herbs, which means they contain nutrients that our bodies can absorb.
This goes against the purpose of the fast, which is to focus on God and not on our physical needs.
Can You Eat Mayonnaise on the Daniel Fast
If you're following the Daniel Fast, you may be wondering if mayonnaise is allowed. The answer is yes! You can absolutely eat mayonnaise on the Daniel Fast.
Mayonnaise is made with eggs, oil, and vinegar (or lemon juice), all of which are permitted on the Daniel Fast. So go ahead and enjoy your favorite sandwich or salad with a dollop of mayo. Just be sure to check the label to make sure there aren't any additional ingredients that would not be allowed on the fast (like sugar or artificial flavors).
What Can You Eat on the Daniel Fast
When people think of fasting, they often think of going without food altogether. However, there are different types of fasts, including the Daniel Fast. The Daniel Fast is a partial fast, which means that participants still eat, but they abstain from certain foods and eat only others.
So what can you eat on the Daniel Fast?
The Daniel Fast is based on the Biblical story of Daniel (hence the name), who was taken captive by the Babylonians and had to eat whatever was put in front of him, even if it went against his religious beliefs. In order to stay true to his faith, he refused to eat any unclean foods.
So what counts as an unclean food? According to the Bible, anything that has been strangled or sacrificed to idols is unclean. This includes animals that have not been properly bled out before being cooked as well as meat from animals that have been sacrificed to idols.
Additionally, any fish without scales or fins is considered unclean (this would include shellfish like shrimp and lobster). Anything with blood in it is also considered unclean. Therefore, no rare steak for those on the Daniel Fast!
In addition to avoiding certain foods, those on the Daniel Fast also consume only vegetables and water for their liquids. No coffee, tea, soda or alcohol is allowed while participating in this fast. Some people choose to add fruit juices and milk into their diet as well, but this is up to each individual participant.
Can You Have Cocoa on Daniel Fast
If you're on the Daniel Fast, you may be wondering if cocoa is allowed. The answer is yes! Cocoa is made from the beans of the cacao tree, which are seeds that are perfectly fine to eat on the Daniel Fast.
Cocoa powder is a great way to add some flavor to your food while still staying within the guidelines of the fast. You can use it in smoothies, oatmeal, or even baked goods. Just make sure that whatever recipe you're using doesn't have any added sugar or other ingredients that aren't allowed on the fast.
If you're not sure about something, always check with your spiritual leader or doctor before consuming it. They will be able to guide you and make sure that you stay on track with your fast.
Why No Coffee on Daniel Fast
When people talk about the Daniel Fast, they often ask if coffee is allowed. The answer is no, coffee is not allowed on the Daniel Fast. There are a few reasons for this.
First, coffee is a stimulant and it can interfere with your ability to get a good night's sleep. This is important because one of the goals of the Daniel Fast is to rest and recharge your body and mind.
Second, coffee can be acidic and it can irritate your digestive system.
This is especially important if you're doing the fast for health reasons and you're trying to give your digestive system a break.
Third, coffee beans are usually roasted, which means they've been exposed to high temperatures. This can destroy some of the nutrients in the beans.
And finally, many coffees contain added ingredients like sugar and milk, which are not part of the Daniel Fast guidelines.

Is Vinegar Allowed in Daniel Fasting?
Yes, vinegar is allowed in Daniel fasting. This is because it is made from fermented grapes and does not contain any leavening agent.
What Kind of Salad Dressing Can You Eat on the Daniel Fast?
If you're on the Daniel Fast, you may be wondering what kind of salad dressing you can eat. The good news is that there are plenty of options! Here are a few ideas:
1. Lemon juice and olive oil: This classic combo is not only delicious, but also provides a good dose of healthy fats.
2. Apple cider vinegar and olive oil: Another great option that's full of flavor and nutrients.
3. Balsamic vinegar and olive oil: A classic pairing that will never go out of style.
4. Tahini: This sesame paste makes a great base for a creamy salad dressing. Just add some water to thin it out and adjust the seasoning to your taste.
5. Nut butter: Peanut butter, almond butter, or any other nut butter makes a great base for a salad dressing – just add some water (or non-dairy milk) to thin it out and season to taste!
What Condiments Can You Eat on Daniel Fast?
When it comes to the Daniel Fast, there are a few different schools of thought on what condiments are allowed. Some people believe that any and all condiments are off limits, while others allow for certain ones like salsa, vinegar and even ketchup in moderation. It really depends on how strict you want to be with your fast.
That being said, here is a list of common condiments and whether or not they are typically allowed on the Daniel Fast:
-Salt: This is a hotly contested condiment when it comes to the Daniel Fast. Some people believe that salt is essential in order to make the food palatable, while others find that it's not necessary and can actually be detrimental to your health.
Ultimately, it's up to you whether or not you want to include salt as part of your fast.
-Pepper: Like salt, pepper is another common seasoning that some people choose to include as part of their fast while others do not. Again, it ultimately comes down to personal preference.
-Salsa: Salsa is generally considered to be one of the more acceptable condiments on the Daniel Fast since it doesn't contain any added sugar or other unhealthy ingredients. Just be sure to check the label before purchasing as some brands can sneak in unwanted additives.
-Vinegar: Vinegar is another good option for those looking for a little something extra on their food during a fast.
While most types of vinegar are perfectly fine, stay away from anything with added sugar as this will negate the benefits of the fast.
-Ketchup: Ketchup is another controversial condiment when it comes to fasting; however, many people find that plain ketchup (without any added sugars) can actually be quite helpful in satisfying cravings during a fast.
Can You Have Honey on Daniel Fast?
Yes, you can have honey on Daniel Fast. This is because honey is a natural sweetener and does not contain any processed sugar. However, it is important to note that honey should be used in moderation as it still contains calories.
Conclusion
The Daniel Fast is a popular choice for many people looking to cleanse their bodies and reset their eating habits. The fast allows only fruits, vegetables, and water for a period of time, typically 21 days. Some people choose to add vinegar to their diet while on the Daniel Fast, but is this allowed?
According to experts, vinegar is technically allowed on the Daniel Fast. However, it is important to check with your spiritual leader or health coach before adding it to your diet. This is because some types of vinegar can be processed and may contain added sugar or other ingredients that are not permitted on the fast. | eng | 798b9082-ff4a-4ea3-a82f-d111fdc32b30 | https://communitycorrespondent.com/can-you-have-vinegar-on-the-daniel-fast/ |

The Power of Lifestyle Changes in the Treatment of Chronic Pain
Please review our business at:
Hey there! Are you exhausted from living with chronic pain? You're not alone. Chronic pain affects millions of people in the US and can be debilitating. But did you know that lifestyle changes can be a powerful tool for managing chronic pain?
Lifestyle changes can be even more effective than medications in some cases. From exercise to diet to stress reduction techniques, you can make plenty of lifestyle changes to improve your chronic pain symptoms.
And if you're looking for a beautiful place to start your journey towards a pain-free lifestyle, Santa Monica is an excellent option with its sunny beaches and active community. So, let's dive into the power of lifestyle changes in treating chronic pain!
The Role of Lifestyle Changes in Chronic Pain Management
Lifestyle changes can play a crucial role in the management of chronic pain. Research has shown that combining lifestyle changes and medical therapies can lead to better outcomes than relying on medications alone.
Exercise, diet, sleep hygiene, and stress reduction techniques have all been shown to improve chronic pain symptoms. However, while lifestyle changes can be effective, it's vital to cite that they should not be used in place of medical treatment.
Instead, interventional specialists at Source Healthcare in Santa Monica recommend a combination of lifestyle changes and medical therapies tailored to the individual's needs. They also suggest incorporating lifestyle changes and medical treatments to achieve the best possible outcomes for chronic pain management.
Diet and Nutrition in Chronic Pain Management
Diet and nutrition can have a significant impact on chronic pain symptoms. Certain foods can trigger inflammation and exacerbate pain, while others have anti-inflammatory properties and can reduce pain.
For example, foods high in sugar, saturated fats, and processed components can contribute to inflammation in the body. At the same time, a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole cereals, and lean proteins can help reduce inflammation. Additionally, certain supplements and vitamins, such as omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D, are helpful for chronic pain management. Making dietary changes can be a simple and effective way to manage chronic pain symptoms and improve overall health.
Sleep Hygiene and Chronic Pain Management
It refers to a set of habits and practices that promote healthy, restful sleep. For individuals with chronic pain, poor sleep can exacerbate pain symptoms and negatively impact overall health.
Practicing good bedtime hygiene, such as keeping a regular sleep schedule, avoiding caffeine and booze before rest, and creating a comfortable sleep environment, can help enhance the quality and amount of sleep.
Additionally, relaxation techniques, such as meditation or deep breathing exercises, can help calm the mind and reduce pain symptoms, leading to better sleep. Incorporating good sleep habits into a chronic pain management plan can improve overall health and quality of life.
Bottom Line
So, don't throw in the towel regarding chronic pain. Making lifestyle changes can be a game-changer in the management of chronic pain. By incorporating medical therapies, healthy eating, good sleep habits, and stress reduction techniques, you can take the bull by the horns and improve your quality of life. Remember, every voyage begins with a single step. | eng | c4418858-7cf5-4fb6-8d4c-6a8644848a60 | https://destinymgmt.com/the-power-of-lifestyle-changes-in-the-treatment-of-chronic-pain/ |
Gut Health and Vitamin D
Could Vitamin D help your gut microbiome flourish?
When it comes to Vitamin D, you should trust your gut! Please pardon the pun, because today we are looking at gut health. Your digestive system is more important than just absorbing nutrients from the food you eat. Turns out that the health of your digestive system can affect the health of your whole body, including depression, anxiety, immune system strength, and chronic pain.
In the past few decades, scientists have been paying a lot of attention to the "microbiome" of the digestive system. The microbiome refers to the billions of microorganisms that are spread throughout your digestive system. We now have a preponderance of data showing that it's important to have a wide variety of microorganisms. For further reading about the importance of the bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and other microscopic life in your gut you can read this Healthline article or review this article in the journal Integrative Medicine.
Does Vitamin D improve gut health?
An article published in 2020 in Scientific Reports stated that "vitamin D is intimately involved in the regulation of inflammation via a bidirectional relationship with the gut microbiota". An article published in 2017 in Metabolism concluded that inflammation was affected "in part in the relationship between the gut microbiota and vitamin D concentration". These articles are just two of many scientific articles that discuss the importance of Vitamin D in gut microbiome health.
It's clear that Vitamin D influences gut health and can influence the microorganismsin the gut, but science is still trying to understand how Vitamin D does this. An article published in EverydayHealth.com in April 2023 sheds a little light on one possible mechanism that explains how Vitamin D improves gut health. In this article, clinical associate professor Dr. Chris Damman of the University of Washington says that Vitamin D helps keep the tight junctions of the gut lining intact. '"There are vitamin D receptors in the lining of the gut that communicate with the tight junctions that stitch the gut cells together," says Dr. Damman."
The subject of gut health and the microorganisms that support gut health is something that is currently being researched and explored by scientists around the world. It is likely that over the next five to ten years we will learn a lot more about how important Vitamin D is for the health of your digestive system. It's actually very exciting.
Do you know your Vitamin D level? Make sure you're not one of the 90% of adults that have below optimal Vitamin D levels with our Vitamin D Home Test. Order yours today. | eng | 0278f4ae-d615-4f12-9e8b-f0b3d7ccbf57 | https://www.healthtotherescue.com/post/gut-health-and-vitamin-d |

Preschool Activities
Do you know you can REMOVE BOREDOM by using PINK UNICORNS in those busy 4-7 year olds? (And, there's a couple of activities that will even challenge you and the kids older than 7? Do you ever wonder why some stay at home parents get frustrated the longer school is out? Here's the secret. Parents are tired of
Hearing "I don't have anything to do!"
Knowing their children have not spent enough time in reading readiness
Knowing their children have not spent enough in time math preparation
Let me explain. Kids love Pink Unicorns! Parents tell me that all the time. Kids want to play and as they do they discover some math secrets and reading sequences and gain great experience in left-right, what belongs, what doesn't belong, what's different, what's the same, and memory training of where something is or is not. As a former first grade teacher, I can tell you fo sure that the kids that don't discover these things before school are so far behind the eight ball that they get discouraged and give up when they should just realize how much fun learning new things really is. We won't mention the inevitable discipline problems that crop up as a result of frustration, either! The big question on parents' minds is "how can I overcome this boredom, lack of reading and math preparation, entertain these busy little people, turn off the electronic devices and enjoy this season of time?" Many parents come to me, as a former teacher, frustrated and weary and nit knowing hiw to change the situation. At the end of December, one parent of a kindergartner told me her youngest daughter did not know her teen numbers and wasn hating going to school. She was falling further behind everyday. My heart broke! I gave this mom a deck of Pink Unicorns. They played them and the little bit older daughter also joined. I got the report that the girls loved them and the youngest had learned all the numbers because she understood the concept. She also had moved ahead on her reading readiness skills. This little girl was now eager to go to school - her tummy aches and "I don't feel good" days had totally disappeared. Now, your child can flop from dreading school to eagerly going because they are ready to do so and nit lagging behind their peers. Inside Pink Unicorns, you will find adorable unicorns, eighteen different ones, some happy, some sad; some dressed for winter, others dressed with spring, summer, and fall. Some facing left, some facing right. You will also have directions and more directions you can download with activity ideas.

Pacioretty was removed from the ice on a stretcher after lying motionless on the ice for minutes and taken to the hospital for observation. According to the Canadiens, Pacioretty is conscious and moving his arms and legs. Chara was kicked out of the game and given a five-minute major for interference for the hit.
"It wasn't my intention to push him into the post. It's very unfortunate. In that situation things are moving fast and I'm not planning to do that. It's not my style to hurt somebody. I always play hard and I play physical. But I never try to hurt anybody. I'm hoping he's okay."
Just moments before that, however, in Chara's efforts to try and explain how he saw the play, Canadiens blog All Habs has audio from Chara in which his explanation of how things went down doesn't totally jive with how the play appeared on video. Keep in mind this quote comes just before he made the above statement.
"As the puck went by I was riding him out and it was very unfortunate that at the same time I pushed him a little bit he kind of leaned and jumped a little bit and hit the glass extension. So it's very unfortunate…. I know we were somewhere close to our bench but obviously it wasn't my intention to put him into the post."
In this explanation from Chara and in the repeated viewing of the video is where Mike Murphy's job in deciding whether or not to hand out punishment for Chara becomes very tricky. Murphy gets the unfortunate job of doing this because Colin Campbell must recuse himself from matters involving the Bruins thanks to his son Greg playing for them.
What Murphy has to decide is if Chara had the intention of hurting Pacioretty. Given how Chara sounds in his explanation and his history of not consistently running afoul of the rules of the game, we're sure that he's sorry for how injured Pacioretty was on the play. After all, seeing a fellow player get so graphically injured is tough for anyone that makes a living playing hockey to watch because someday it could be them in that position.
What makes this awkward is that Chara and Pacioretty have a history dating back to their game on January 8 that saw Pacioretty score the game-winning goal in overtime and then get into a scuffle with Chara after that when Chara felt wronged by Pacioretty for a slight shove from behind while celebrating the goal. Chara went ballistic trying to get after Pacioretty before the scene calmed down.
Players remember these sorts of things, and when watching that play from last night's game unfold again and again on video it sticks out in your mind. Call me a cynic if you wish but when Chara was racing after that puck with Pacioretty and riding him along the boards it's tough for me to think that Chara didn't know full well what he wanted to do there.
I'm not saying that Chara intended to have Pacioretty's head slam into that stanchion in such a horrifying manner, but we've seen hits a thousand times where players get hit and rode along the rail like that and get crunched. Nine times out of ten it's a body blow that knocks the wind out of the guy and they learn a very hard lesson. Last night was that one time where something goes wrong enough and the end result is a player going to the hospital.
Given the location of the play, the familiarity of the surroundings, and that nagging history it's difficult for me to accept that Chara handled that play completely accidentally. He wanted Pacioretty to take a hard hit but not for a second do I believe he wanted him to end up unconscious on the ice with a horrifying blow to the head.
Does that make the situation better? No, it's ugly all around no matter what kind of spin you want to put on it. The hit was away from the puck, it was late, and it was most certainly needless. Those kinds of questionable hits happen all over the ice in heated rivalry games like this. This time around, however, everything went wrong.
It's wrong for Pacioretty because he had his health put in danger during the heat of battle. It's wrong for Chara because he's a mostly clean player that plays a very physical game and he's a team captain that should know better. It's wrong for the league now because they're put in the unenviable position of trying to decide whether or not there was evil in the heart of Zdeno Chara.
The league is most certainly going to make someone mad as Bruins fans say it's just an unlucky play while Habs fans want Chara's head on a pike to serve as an example to the rest of the league. TSN's Bob McKenzie says that the league's best way of handling this is to play the role of King Solomon and split the difference somehow. With the league's new dedication to protecting players hit in the head, their ruling on this one will be fascinating to see.
Chara's at fault here for being reckless and whether he meant to get Pacioretty roughed up or not, he's got a responsibility to adhere to as a player. You can play hard and physical without putting another player in danger like that and that's something the league has to recognize here had a | eng | d8db654e-5ecc-4554-97a4-3601fa2a143a | https://nhl.nbcsports.com/2011/03/09/nhl-has-awkward-decision-to-make-after-zdeno-charas-wicked-hit-on-max-pacioretty/ |

Among the few morons with straight A's.
There are only three: Suicune, Entei, and Raikou. Where did you get four from?
-New Eeveelutions!!
-A new evolution stone for evolving already-existing Pokémon (that way kids won't try to evolve them the same way on a past generation game, such as "Leaf Stone on Eevee")
-Hopefully a new Pokémon that uses the Thunder Stone
-You will have some blood relation to a major plot character
-A flying-type villain team
-The possible return of Dive as an HM
-More Fire-Types
-Hopefully a Wii spin-off featuring all five generations of Pokémon and a Shadow Pokémon Plot
-The ULTIMATE legendary Pokémon group
-Cute Pokémon at the starting route
-Actual family besides your mom
-Extra areas (like the Sevii Islands)
The word 'Nerd' is a compliment.
hm...
-More water routes than D/P/Pt
-More extended WiFi capabilities
-More of the rarer types; I can see fire, ice, and steel dominating the next generation. Or something like that.
-No more remakes. Not enough fan demand or nostalgia
-Half of the fandom complaining that Pokémon is RUINED FOREVER and OH THOSE DESIGNS THEY BURN MY EYES. But that goes without saying.
-More extensive WiFi capabilities.
-The first time two gens are on the same console (I'm really just hoping this; I don't want to have to buy some brand new technology; I'm way too far behind the curve for that)
-All the classic archetypes returning--another irritating rodent, a Pika clone or two, lots of nauseatingly cute Pokémon (lots of prevos and babies D: ), a hugely powerful pseudo-legendary, and more and more legendaries.
-Pokémon will still be able to follow you in overworld
-Chaining will still exist.
-And (hopefully) a spinoff game that takes the series in a new (hopefully darker [T- or M-rated, anyone?]) direction, catering to older fans.
Virile God-Snake Tower of Masculinity
The Erratic One
My dream, after some two generations, will come true. A water-type based on a squid. Yeah, they disappointed me twice, but not this time. And other stuff, hmm...
Another one, perhaps a normal-type, based on a goat.
The region will have a lake that conceals a great secret.
And we already got Legendaries based on time, space, dimension, emotions, continent, ocean and God itself. What's left? A Legendary/ies based on stars, planets or perhaps moon and sun.
A bug-type Legendary. I'm certain of it. Certain.
Ooh, almost forgot. Know how fighting-types are based on different fighting styles, like Hitmonlee for taekwando and Makuhit/Hariyama for sumo-wrestling? Again, I'm certain, that a new fighting-type Pokémon will be introduced for lucha libre. :D
(laughs)
- Both the protagonists will wear some kind of headgear, but the non-protagonist-you-didn't-choose-rival won't. (It's always been like that!)
- The female protagonist will, as always, have some kind of leg-revealing clothing, like a miniskirt or tight shorts. -_-
- Maybe a female professor?
- Zebra, dolphin and goat Pokémon. They're probably they're the only "well-known" animals Ninty haven't done anything with yet.
- DARK GYM LEADER DARK GYM LEADER DARK GYM LEADER DARK GYM LEADER DARK GYM LEADER DARK GYM LEADER
- A new "Pigdey", "Rattata", bug that evolves quickly, and Pika-clone.
- A new HM move, and Defog or Rock Climb will be gone.
- There will be a way to link between DPP and HGSS(only that the old games won't accept new Pokés), or at least send Pokémon over. | eng | 03e56930-a088-4270-948a-f78346c25299 | https://forums.dragonflycave.com/threads/gen-v-vault.8025/page-3#post-363354 |
Super Eleven
A story idea I've been pondering lately: A story about a group of supervillains pulling a movie-style heist. Not sure what they would be stealing, and honestly they would probably have to be relatively weak to make the plot work, but there's also the issue of what kind of security would exist in a world where super criminals are a known and expected contingency and how they would get around them.
If it was as snarky and stylish as the film, this could be a lot of fun.
Maybe the group are second-rate supervillians with somewhat limited powers. If they can team up to steal the Jewel Encrusted Macguffin right out from the Museum Exhibit Floor, when the Museum is guarded by the Assistant Heroes Guild, the Bad 11 get to become the Henchmen of the Ultravillians Collective.
The story introduces the ridiculously complicated next security step that makes it impossible for anyone to walk out with the Macguffin. Then, it introduces the next villian's powers, which happen to be just what you need to infiltrate that one next step.
Who are the real masterminds playing strategic chess, with both groups in the Museums as their super-powered pawns?
What happens when the old love triangle issue between women in the Robbery Club flare up, and they lose their timing at the elevator which triggers the alarms?

A doglike sense of smell and taste could detect, track scent of individuals and /or chemicals, food, drink. The Terminatrix used this to identify a blood sample from John Connor. From scent in a room, identify who was there recently and if they were under stress, and where they were in the room. IR vision could also see residual temperature if their seat or table was warm from body heat. From smelling breath they could know what was eaten, and and diseases with a characteristic scent like covid or cancer. A complementary ability would be ability to instantly mimic any scent this might play havoc with scent trackers like bloodhounds. Aliens with this ability might greet each other with sequences of coded scents. To increase range maybe they use some kind of optical spectrometry to view chemical composition at a distance like humans see color.
With those incredible senses they could locate their target deep within an secure guarded building and look for the easiest way to enter the building.
Superstrength could probably allow a forced entry, but that would be considered a rude display, almost certain to be identified. A more difficult goal would be an undetected entry and exit, replacing the real item with a convincing replica. Teleportation would make things too easy.
Ability to detect and emit electrical impulses through wires and wireless, would allow monitoring of unshielded cables for alarm and video, tracking and monitoring users from their cell phone signals, possibly even the stingray superpower that allows creating a fake cell signal and mimicing whoever the user was calling, or possibly generating fake data. Could super Margot/Barbie have all of these abilities, or would they spread out over different team members like Suicide Squad or any of the team theft/mission flicks?
An example of a superpowered thief would be the character Wraith (Jennifer Maloy) from the "WILD CARDS" series of novels. which became intangible and could go through walls, being able to float so as not to use stairs or elevators.
An example of this is in the third book of the series.
A variant would be that his superpowers allow him to enter from anywhere and have full control of the blow to be made. but when he is carrying out the robbery. their superpowers either don't work or mess up the hit. Even going so far as to put his escape at risk.
Una variante seria que sus superpoderes le permiten entra de cualquier sitio y tener todo el control del golpe a realizar. pero cuando va realizando el robo. sus superpoderes no funcionan o fastidian el golpe. Llegando incluso a poner en riesgo su huida agree. Have crooks with not quite super-duper powers, that would put them in the bench-warming farm leagues for DC or Marvel. But just a little bit of power per crook is enough that with great teamwork, overcoming their well justified suspicion of each other, they can get the job done. Each power seeming to be of negligent use for the crook to get away with a crime like this on their own. | eng | dc119c63-c75b-4a81-bc1d-cc6afc1a5bbd | http://www.superwomenmania.com/index.php/forum?view=topic&catid=41&id=32444 |

Paid parental leave is a crucial benefit that supports employees during the life-changing event of becoming parents. For small businesses with limited resources, providing paid parental leave might seem financially challenging. However, with careful planning and creative strategies, small businesses can offer this valuable benefit without breaking the bank. In this blog, we will explore practical steps that small businesses can take to implement affordable paid parental leave programs, including the utilization of short-term disability coverage.
1. Assess Your Budget and Resources:
Before implementing a paid parental leave program, assess your budget and resources. Determine how much you can allocate towards paid leave without straining your finances. Consider factors such as the average duration of leave, the number of employees who may take leave in a given year, and the potential impact on productivity and staffing during the employee's absence.
2. Leverage Short-Term Disability Insurance:
Explore the option of short-term disability insurance as a cost-effective solution for providing paid parental leave. Short-term disability insurance typically covers a portion of an employee's income during their absence due to a covered medical condition, including childbirth and recovery. By offering short-term disability coverage as part of your benefits package, you can provide partial income replacement to employees on parental leave without incurring substantial costs.
3. Research Government Programs and Tax Credits:
Research government programs and tax credits available to small businesses that can help offset the costs of paid parental leave. Some countries and regions offer subsidies, grants, or tax credits to businesses that provide paid leave. Explore these options and understand the eligibility criteria and application process.
4. Design a Flexible Paid Leave Policy:
Craft a paid parental leave policy that is flexible and suits the needs of your business. Consider offering a combination of short-term disability coverage and additional paid or unpaid leave to balance the financial impact. This approach allows employees to receive a portion of their income through short-term disability insurance while providing extended leave through company-sponsored benefits.
5. Phased Return-to-Work Programs:
Implement phased return-to-work programs to ease the transition for employees returning from parental leave. Allow employees to gradually increase their working hours or offer flexible work arrangements, such as part-time or remote work options during the initial weeks back at work. This approach can help maintain productivity while accommodating the needs of new parents.
6. Cross-Training and Temporary Staffing:
Invest in cross-training employees to ensure seamless operations during an employee's parental leave. Having trained employees who can temporarily take on additional responsibilities can prevent the need for hiring temporary staff, reducing costs associated with recruitment and onboarding.
7. Employee Assistance Programs:
Consider implementing employee assistance programs (EAPs) that provide support and resources for employees during the transition to parenthood. EAPs can offer counseling services, parenting resources, and assistance with work-life balance challenges. By supporting employees in this way, you can enhance employee well-being and reduce the potential negative impact on productivity.
8. Communicate and Educate:
Once you have established your paid parental leave program, effectively communicate it to your employees. Ensure they understand the eligibility criteria, the duration of leave, and the process for requesting leave. Educate your employees about the benefits and resources available to them during their parental leave, such as short-term disability coverage or employee assistance programs.
Offering affordable paid parental leave is an important step toward creating a supportive and inclusive workplace for employees. Small businesses can implement such programs by assessing their budget, leveraging short-term disability insurance, researching government programs and tax credits, designing flexible policies, implementing phased return-to-work programs, investing in cross-training, and offering employee assistance programs. By adopting these strategies, small businesses can provide valuable support to employees during their transition to parenthood while maintaining financial stability. Remember, prioritizing the well-being of employees and supporting their family needs ultimately contributes to the overall success and growth of your business. | eng | 9da57cd1-7381-4e1f-9e8d-dae78dc2e5c3 | https://guidemybusiness.co/2023/04/19/offering-affordable-paid-parental-leave-strategies-for-small-businesses/ |
Swainson's Hawks on the Santa Cruz Flats
By Dan Weisz
Last Sunday morning I drove around Santa Cruz Flats with two friends, Steve and Rene. During this time of year, that expanse of agricultural fields (west of the Santa Cruz River running from Marana to Casa Grande) can be a great place to see migrating Swainson's Hawks. During the summers, these birds live in the open country of the Great Plains and the West. At this time of the year, they are migrating to their winter homes in the plains of Argentina!! There is a chance to see large flocks of these birds congregating on their journey south. Although we didn't see any large groups that morning, we did see a number of Swainson's Hawks.
The adult below has the classic "bib" of a Swainson's Hawk. Although Swainson's Hawks colors can be variable, that bib is distinctive and common for this species.
Much of our time was spent looking at and photographing a very cooperative juvenile Swainson's Hawk. Often these first-year birds do not know enough to be frightened off quickly, or perhaps they are just more curious about their 'new' world, and they will sit much longer in our presence than an adult might. We remained inside the car in order to use the car as a "blind". The bird will be less worried about a car than it might be about some humans walking around nearby.
As a juvenile, this bird has a lighter eye than the adult Swainson's in the shot above. For some truth in advertising, there were quite a few branches and twigs from the pecan tree above this bird's head. I cleaned them out of the photo during processing as I thought the blue sky would help to showcase the bird better than a bunch of branches.
The Swainson's Hawk was curious and looked around quite a bit while we watched it. Raptors have many more bones in their necks than humans and mammals do. This feature allows them to turn their heads around 180°.
The eyes of raptors are very large in their heads and are more elongated. Because of the shape and size of their eyes, raptors cannot move their eyes in their sockets as we humans can, so they turn their heads or move side to side to get a better or different view of things. It does look very comical, but this bird is really just trying to see its world from a different perspective.
The juveniles will make their first journey south with a parent. This Swainson's Hawk began calling for its parent after a while, whether for food or company we don't know.
And then the bird turned to face us. It was still calling for its parent and now the camera caught it with its nictitating membrane closed over its eye. For those of you who don't know about this, the nictitating membrane is a third eyelid that birds use to protect their eye. It is translucent and does look ghoulish to us. As a juvenile Swainson's Hawk, its breast is more streaky than the adult's in the first photo in this email. The bird's bib is also not quite developed yet.
The next time you have a commute somewhere and are fussing about the distance or traffic, think about this bird's commute. The range map below indicates how far it will be traveling. Orange notes the summer range, yellow shows its migration route, and blue is the Swainson's Hawk's winter range. We've got it quite a bit easier than these birds do.
I will have some more photos of this bird in a future email along with photos of other birds we saw on the Flats. | eng | a0cb49f1-e22f-4ce9-9fff-a708daef9d32 | https://wildlife.foothillsclusters.com/swainsons-hawks-on-the-santa-cruz-flats |
How to Jump Car with Battery Charger

Car batteries can fail for many reasons, leaving drivers stranded and frustrated. Fortunately, a battery charger can be used to jumpstart a car and get it back on the road. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to jump car with battery charger.
Preparing to Jumpstart the Car
Before attempting to jumpstart a car with a battery charger, it's important to inspect the battery and charger for any damage or defects. Check the battery for leaks, cracks, or other signs of damage. If the battery is damaged, it may not be safe to jumpstart the car and a replacement may be necessary. Make sure the battery charger is working properly and is capable of delivering the amount of power needed to jumpstart the battery.
Identifying the positive and negative terminals on the battery is also crucial. The positive terminal is usually marked with a plus sign (+) and is typically red, while the negative terminal is marked with a minus sign (-) and is usually black. It's important to avoid connecting the positive and negative clamps of the battery charger to the wrong terminals, as this can cause damage to the battery or even lead to an electrical shock.
Connecting the Battery Charger to the Car
Once you've inspected the battery and charger and identified the terminals, you're ready to connect the battery charger to the car. Place the battery charger in a safe location near the car, but not so close that it could accidentally come into contact with the battery or any other metal parts of the car.
Attach the positive clamp of the battery charger to the positive terminal of the battery. Make sure the clamp is securely attached and won't come loose during the charging process. Then, attach the negative clamp of the battery charger to a suitable grounding point on the car, such as a metal bracket or bolt. This will help prevent any electrical sparks or arcs that could damage the battery or cause a fire.
Charging the Car Battery
Once the battery charger is connected to the car, it's important to set the charger to the appropriate voltage and amperage for the car battery. Consult the owner's manual for the car or the battery charger to determine the correct settings. Most battery chargers have a "start" or "boost" mode that delivers a higher voltage and amperage to help jumpstart the battery quickly.
Start the battery charger and allow it to charge the battery for several minutes. Monitor the charger and battery to ensure that the charging process is going smoothly and that there are no signs of damage or overheating. If the charger or battery becomes too hot or starts to emit smoke or sparks, disconnect the charger immediately and seek professional help.
Starting the Car
Once the battery has been charged for several minutes, try starting the car. If the car starts, disconnect the battery charger from the car in the reverse order that you attached it. Remove the negative clamp first, then the positive clamp. If the car doesn't start, repeat the charging process for several more minutes and try again.
Conclusion
Jumpstarting a car with a battery charger can be a quick and easy solution to a dead battery. However, it's important to take the necessary safety precautions and follow the proper procedures to avoid causing damage to the battery or the car. Always consult the owner's manual for the car and the battery charger to ensure that you're using the correct settings and procedures. With a little bit of preparation and care, you can safely and effectively jumpstart your car and get back on the road | eng | 45d2727b-9ce9-42c9-81d0-9d7ef20a5b14 | https://autogearbid.com/how-to-jump-car-with-battery-charger/ |
The Cameroon Baptist Convention Health Services (CBCHS) held a month-long training for Braille and sign language teachers, which increased their confidence and ability to instruct their students.
It took place on Friday, August 18, 2023, at the Baptist Centre in Nkwen, Bamenda, the chief town of the North West Region of Cameroon.
Ten braille instructors and ten sign language teachers from Cameroon's North and South West regions came together for the event.
The Cameroon Baptist Health Services Director, Prof. Tih Puis, thanked the teachers for attending the training during the closing ceremony, which was presided over by the North West Regional Delegate for Secondary Education, Ngawng Roland Yuven.
Prof. Tih underlined the significance of organising this program given the present shortage of resource teachers needed to accommodate the increasing number of students in both Regions.
He said that the training was aimed at "improving the quality of braille and sign language services" in addition to increasing the number of braille and sign language teachers.
The Regional Delegate for Secondary Education encouraged the teachers to "champion the course of inclusion in your respective schools."
The training was conducted with the assistance of the Christian Blind Mission and was done so within the scope of the Comprehensive Programme for the Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities and Inclusive Access to Basic Services of Health and Education in the North West Region. | eng | 95727ee9-8421-4198-9de5-0878fab5d68f | https://mimimefoinfos.com/bamenda-cameroon-baptist-convention-health-cbc-empowers-braille-sign-language-teachers/ |
High tide fishing
Targeting structure remains sound strategy during high tide
ROCKPORT — Sitting around and idly discussing the weather may be specific to old men. But when it comes to actively grousing about extreme tides the conversation welcomes all comers.
We complain when bays are too high and some folks complain when the tide is too low. And then we say nothing when it's just right. It's the same with wind and other factors we're helpless to control.
But come on, man! Ridiculously high tides have persisted for weeks now. When is the last time we experienced a truly low tide? Certainly not last week when the moon circled closer to Earth than it's been since 1948. This was both a full moon and a supermoon, a term I had not heard much until recently.
The moon won't come that close again until Nov. 25, 2034, according to the astronomy website EarthSky.org. This means last week's full moon was the nearest and largest supermoon in 68 years.
But even before this epic lunar event brightened the night sky, the Island University was truly an island rather than a high spot partially bound by a mud flat. Of course, if sea-level rise predictions come true — scientists predict the level will rise as much as 2 feet by the end of the 21st century — I suppose the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi campus will become a permanent island.
I spoke with numerous scientists and old timers about this year's unusual tide fluctuations. Actually the tide was seemingly inexplicably high for a time last year also. Most of the longtime locals said they've never seen anything like this in the absence of a storm or maybe the bull tides of spring and fall, which usually aren't lasting. Some of the scientists just scratched their head or suggested tide movement is complicated.
"With dozens and dozens of tidal components, each with frequencies from a fortnight to decades, every so often they all line up just right and the tides are higher than normal," said biologist Jim Tolan with Texas Parks & Wildlife. "Many of these tidal frequencies, even the ones with small amplitude, can line up just right and the result is what we see."
The moon's elevation above the equator can play a major role in our tides, according to George Ward, a research scientist with the Center for Research in Water Resources at the University of Texas. Moon phases, on the other hand, technically have no direct influence on tides in Corpus Christi or the Gulf of Mexico. Ward said It is the moon's angle from the equatorial plane that creates the tide's greatest ebb and flow. A higher spring tide occurs when the sun, moon and Earth are aligned, which occurs during a new and full moon. Moderate neap tides occur when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. This effect is nominal in the Gulf of Mexico.
By the way, the term "spring tide" in this case has nothing to do with the season that follows winter, though the water level here does rise during springtime, while our highest water levels typically occur in October. Of course, this year's highest water has extended into November, as you know.
Bay levels here generally are dominated by wind. A southerly breeze tends to raise the level of our bays, while a north wind results in a falling tide.
"I expect a lot of people are staring up at the full moon and thinking this is why water levels are high," Ward said. "They would be wrong. The supermoon, however, does play a role in the higher water levels. This is because the moon is at perigee (nearest to Earth), so its gravitational effects are maximal for its orbit. As you know, this is the closest perigee we've had in nearly 70 years. But this is an add-on to the high-declination tide (moon's angle from equator), which is an add-on to the seasonal high water of the fall, without which we wouldn't even be talking about unusual high waters."
Okay, the science lesson is nearly complete.
Perhaps less complicated are these historical facts from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. A friend sent me two graphs that plot the mean high and low tides for the Rockport area. Both charts, which span decades, show a steady rise in the water mean levels during low tide and high tide. The highs are getting increasingly higher and the lows also are rising over time.
While this is interesting, the information may not fully explain the high water that not only produced 6-foot waves for surfers near Bob Hall Pier a couple of weeks ago when the Trade Winds in the gulf strengthened, but also submerged reefs and spoil islands throughout the Coastal Bend, scattering fish and disrupting fishing patterns for some anglers.
I visited with Capt. Jay "The Professor" Watkins for some answers. I wasn't seeking reasons for the high water, but rather insight into angling methods to help combat the lingering bull tide. Thankfully, he wanted to show me rather than tell me.
"Truthfully, the reason for this high tide isn't nearly as important as figuring out a plan for success," Watkins said. "That goes for all the conditions we face on the bay."
Watkins approaches angling with an analytical mindset. He looks at the constants and he looks at the variables to come up with a plan. Each day and every season is a little different, though some reliable patterns exist. Watkins' arsenal includes many approaches representing a variety of methods.
Granted, many of the arrows in Watkins' quiver may appear to most of us to be very similar. But I've learned over many years there is success in subtly. Watkins operates within these subtleties because he notices the nuances better than most of us. And I rarely doubt what his mind's eye sees. More importantly, Watkins rarely doubts his own perceptions. If he does harbor doubt, he hides it well.
Some of the few constants of our bays involve structure, which Watkins defines as reefs, sand bars, shorelines, seagrass and the edges where seagrass ends and a sand or mud bottom begins. The tide rises and falls, but generally these reliable elements don't move much, though seagass may come and go seasonally and bottom contours shift.
Baitfish instinctively seek shelter and cover to keep from being eaten while seeking nourishment. Obviously, predators forage around structure because that's also where they find food. And if you've ever swam a bait over a sand pocket surrounded by seagrass you know trout and redfish use certain structure as cover for ambushing prey.
Under normal or stable conditions, this rule of structure is fairly reliable, Watkins believes. But take away the food source and the rule falls apart. A substantial rise or fall of tide may force baitfish off their usual haunts, Watkins tells me.
Figuring out the threshold that triggers baitfish movement can be tricky, he said. And it's difficult to know or predict the length of time that an extreme tide must persist before baitfish return to certain structure. But they will return eventually. And the predators will follow. These are certainties but certainly not constants in changing conditions.
This information alone may not be much help if we happen to be fishing in the meantime. But Watkins suggests the information remains useful to anglers willing to endure a process of elimination during their search for fish. Yes, this might involve wading structure that is deeper than we're accustom to fishing. Your personal tolerance will determine the depth of your search.
In the Rockport area, many stretches of shorelines along the barrier islands that usually are knee-deep have been waist- to belly-deep. But after the initial push of tide, baitfish and predators returned to the seagrass edges and guts along Matagorda and San Jose islands. We tried fishing the deeper grass, without much success. Mullet and other baitfish seemed concentrated along a narrow swatch not far from shore. It helped that these were windward shorelines, which Watkins imagines creates a wall to concentrate baitfish pushed by wind-driven current.
We also found this along the shorelines of St. Charles Bay. It was there we noticed a distinct physical separation between redfish and trout, with very little overlap. There seemed to be an imaginary line separating the two species. We found nearly all our reds within a few feet of the cordgrass or spartina-fringed shoreline, while trout were mostly in a waist-deep tide some distance from shore.
It's likely each were targeting different food sources. But they seemed to chase and attack our Bass Assassin Sea Shad lures with equal aggression. We used the magic grass color.
One of the common angler misconceptions is that extreme high water attracts mostly redfish into back lakes that normally are super skinny. This may be true for black drum, but for some unknown reason a sudden push of tide tends to force baitfish and predators out of the back lakes, at least temporarily.
When the surge settles and the water level stabilizes, they seem to return. A possible exception to this occurs during the first couple of days after a major tidal influx. I've seen redfish worm their way into cordgrass marshes and mangroves. Most folks who witness this believe these fish are scouring the freshly flooded, dense vegetation in search of food. I'm guessing they're after snails, fiddler crabs and insects that are normally out of reach.
By the time Professor Watkins demonstrated his theories for me and fellow pupil Ernest Bromley, of San Antonio, the high water had been stable for at least two weeks. And he'd already tested the flooded seagrass beds of the back lakes of San Jose Island. He believes the exchange of water in these marshy areas becomes more pronounced the closer they are to Cedar Bayou.
Watkins concludes this greater flow invites greater ease of predation, especially for trout. So he's been wading the transparent tide that flows over thick seagrass and catching specks up to five pounds or better along with aggressive smaller fish.
"Now that Cedar Bayou is open and flowing, I've noticed a tremendous increase in the number and the predictability of trout in our shallow back lakes, especially in thick seagrass," Watkins said. "I think it's the water movement. Those fish are hiding in the grass and ambushing the baitfish carried by the current when the tide changes."
These opportunistic predators seem to prefer a fast-twitching surface plug or a MirrOlure Provoker ripped just above the vegetation on a steady retrieve. You may have to retrain your hands not to bounce your bait in the usual manner. I did, with some effort. It worked, though this time our efforts did not produce a five-pounder. But the numbers were there.
Lastly we targeted the narrow perpendicular cuts on the backside of San Jose. Many of these have been carved more deeply by months of extreme tidal movement and flooding rains. If you're looking for a flatfish to end the day, target these guts during a falling tide. Of course, this presumes the tide will fall someday.

Tips for Building a Better Site
I go through a lot of web pages and a lot of blogs and there are a few things that really irritate me in terms of usability of the site:
Open files & external links in new windows.
If I am on your site and I click on a link to a document or a link to someone else's blog, please please please open that up in another window. Most of the time, I am just clicking on a link to see what is has, then, it's a quick CTRL-W to close that window. Of course, if that was the only window, now I have lost your site.
If it "might" be clickable, it should be clickable.
If something might be clickable, just make it clickable. If you have an icon for a product, or as a section description, please make the icon clickable. If you have an "enlarge photo" link... make the photo clickable for the same action. Why make people do something intuitive and then have to figure out how else to do it.
If you have a horizontally scrolling area (ex. div or iframe), make the area a fairly small height.
I see this a lot on people's blogs. They have code examples that scroll horizontally, but their code example is sooo long that you have to scroll the page down to get to the horizontal scroll bar. Then, you have to scroll over and then scroll back up just to see the code you wanted to see originally. Don't make people do that. Just put a set height (or some other technique) that allows the user to see the horizontal and vertical scoll bars in the same browser screen | eng | 5780c683-d027-479c-919d-fa3bcaf2d99a | https://www.bennadel.com/blog/5-tips-for-building-a-better-site.htm |
Golden Jackal is the largest member of the jackal family and he is also represents as the only species that we can find outside the African continent. The easiest description of his size is: larger than a fox and smaller than a wolf. The jackal that we can find on the territory of the Republic of Croatia belongs to the family Canis aureus moreoticus one of the largest subspecies of jackals in the world . In Croatia, the jackal belongs to small hunting game (Hunting law NN140/05) and it is allowed to be hunted whole year. Excepts are only for females when they have signs of pregnancy and when leading small pups (Hunting Regulations OG 067/2010). In Croatia they are spreading at an extreme speed due to the unattractiveness of hunting, mine-suspected areas and beacause natural protected areas. We can bring the population of golden jackals to a normal state by monitoring and frequent hunting. | eng | 96c81e46-1b09-44d7-b1b3-65363657eb0e | https://repozitorij.fazos.hr/en/islandora/object/pfos%3A2866 |
Vision defined: An aspirational description of what an organization would like to achieve or accomplish in the mid-term or long-term. It is intended to serve as a clear guide for choosing current and future courses of action.
This sounds aspirational and like something organizations should have until we remove the 'jargon monoxide' and think, how does work get done?
Work does not get done according to a solipsistic vision… Work gets done through the interactions of people who have discovered what works best for them in achieving a certain goal / task.
The great man fallacy wants us to believe that a single person's vision brings us greatness. That sounds great in hindsight … but the vision could have happened in many different ways. Remembering the past things seems to make sense and have a purpose. The past is recreated through our interpretation.
Vision Limits What is Working Well. How does a manager determine the vision of a team or organization?
I argue that you start with what you currently have—planning to explore these in future blog posts.
What is the capacity of the team or organization?
What resources do we have?
How do #1, 2 currently attract what is working well?
How do #1, 2 currently repel what is working well?
What areas, people, teams, customers are already attracting what is working well? Meaning who is pulling us towards what is working.
What areas, people, teams, customers are already repelling what works well? Meaning who is pushing us away from what is working.
What skills are needed to do more of what is working well? How are we already using those skills? How did that happen?
A vision will emerge from the discussion, documenting, and charting above.
I've found the vision is different and more pragmatic because you have removed the idealistic fantasy and replaced it with the pragmatism of what is working and how you recognize progress.

8 Animals that live the longest: From 270 years to immortal
Which animals live the longest? Animals living in the wild rarely approach their maximum possible age. This is because of the high mortality rate caused by competition for food and shelter, habitat loss and destruction, climate change and bad weather, predators, and even infant mortality. But it doesn't mean that they don't live their full life. The wilderness is all about 'survival of the fittest.' Those who tackle the obstructions and challenges go on to live and complete their life span. Thanks to top-notch medical care and facilities, an average human can live up to 80-90 years. Of course, over the years, our life span has only decreased. Earlier, people used to live for over 100 years. But with pollution and the type of food we eat, it is taking a toll on our body.
But, we are not here to talk about humans. We are here to talk about the longest living animals on the planet.
We have compiled a list of the top 8 animals that live the longest.
#1 Greenland Shark
Greenland sharks are said to have a minimum lifespan of 272 years. As per a study conducted using eye lens radiocarbon testing, a Greenland shark grows about 1cm every year. At this rate, they reach maturity at about 100 years old. That's a long childhood. Their slow growth is the primary reason why they are the longest-living vertebrates on the planet. The oldest one was found to be 400 years old. They are considered near-threatened due to population decline. They live in the North Atlantic and Arctic waters at depths ranging from 4000 to 7000 feet and more.
#2 Bowhead Whale
Bowhead whale or Arctic whale is the longest living mammal on the earth. As per the Canadian Journal of Zoology published in 1999, Bowhead whales can live for more than 200 years. Due to poaching activities and changing climate, their age is limited to 60-70 years. But if there is no one threatening their lives, they can easily complete their life span of 200 years. They prefer the colder waters of the North Pacific and Atlantic. They are continuously poached for their meat and oil.
#3 Galapagos Tortoise
Galapagos tortoises have an average lifespan of 177 years. It is considered the longest living vertebrate on land. They were once listed under the endangered species, but conservation activities and awareness brought them back. Today, Galapagos tortoises have a thriving population. According to conservationists, a 100-year-old Galapagos tortoise will still be classed as a young adult. So, you can imagine how long they can live in a protected environment.
#4 Red Sea Urchin
Number two int the list of animals that live the longest, red sea urchins have a life expectancy of 100-200 years. They are native to the Pacific Ocean and live in shallow waters. In some cases, they have been found in rocky waters as well. They attract fewer predators because of their spines, but they are vulnerable to extremely wavy areas and low-tide lines. They get easily stuck between rocks and die.
#5 Lamellibrachia Tube Worm
Lamellibrachia Tube Worm is a colorful deep sea creature that has a life expectancy of 170-250 years. They live extremely deep on the ocean floor, where hydrocarbon cold seep vents are present. During its entire life, Lamellibrachia Tube Worm can grow up to 6-feet long. They grow slowly throughout the duration of its life; this is probably the reason why they have an incredibly high life expectancy. These worms are found in the Atlantic Ocean.
#6 Geoduck Clam
Geoduck clams are the oversized saltwater clams that live for more than 165 years. During their first years of life, geoduck clams grow at an average of 1 inch per year for the first four years. During their entire lifetime, they can grow up to reach 3-feet in length. Interestingly, their shells grow no longer than 8 inches. They are native to the Pacific Northwest, ranging from California to Alaska.
#7 Elephant
The largest mammal on the planet has an average lifespan of 70 years, which is pretty much similar to humans. Elephants are incredibly social and intelligent creatures. Their brain itself weighs a little over 11 pounds. In the wild, they are always faced with challenges from predators and poachers. Apex predators like lions hunt on baby elephants just after they are born. Poachers, on the other hand, kill this beautiful animal for their tusks. Zimbabwean research found that female elephants remain fertile until death.
#8 Immortal Jellyfish
Could some animals live forever? It is rare, but there is a unique jellyfish that can revert back to its premature state when exposed to injury, damage, or stress. While they are biologically immortal, in the ocean, they rarely live forever. An injured jellyfish get eaten by other animals. So, only if it is able to protect itself from predators it can live forever, and that why it made it to the list of animals that live the longest.
There are many other animals like Macau, ocean quahog, koi fish, etc., that have an impressive lifespan. If you think of any other species that live the longest, do care to tell us. | eng | abc97482-5d23-4df2-8b14-8fba141620d4 | https://protoanimal.com/8-animals-that-live-the-longest-from-270-years-to-immortal/ |

Evaluations with and without disclosure
Evaluation with disclosure
If the business cannot be evaluated in secret, the mystery customer discloses their status and provides identification. This⦁may be necessary if, for example, they have been asked to⦁inspect the kitchen. In this case, the disclosure is included in⦁the⦁mystery customer's engagement guideline.
Evaluation without disclosure
Evaluations without disclosure are necessary if the mystery customer's primary objective is to evaluate compliance with⦁service standards. In this case, the mystery customer pretends to⦁be a real customer and evaluates the employees during every phase of the process, from check-in to check-out.
Kinds of evaluations
Evaluation with purchase
Restaurants, coffee shops, and hotels cannot be evaluated without making a purchase. The mystery customer cannot just go to an⦁establishment, sit there for half an hour, talk to the staff, and⦁leave. This would alert the staff. So we schedule a purchase or⦁reservation early in the planning phase.
Evaluation without a refund
A mystery customer cannot return a dish at a restaurant or a⦁room at a hotel. But if we need to evaluate employees in stressful circumstances, we select an appropriate scenario and plan non-standard "refunds."
On-site and remote evaluations
On-site evaluation
On-site evaluations allow us to comprehensively evaluate an⦁establishment, including service, the cleanliness of rooms, restaurant kitchens, and other factors.
Remote evaluation
This entails the remote evaluation of the company's employees. In⦁this case, the mystery customer might reserve a room at a⦁hotel or a table at a restaurant.2

1. Red/green color blindness is controlled by an X linked gene.
A normal man and women marry. The fathers of both of these
individuals are color blind but the mothers of both are homozygous
normal. The probability that their first child will be color blind
is:
a. 1/2
b. 1/3
c. 1/4
d. 1/8
e. 0
2. If you cross a Gg (G= yellow, g=green) Ww (W=round,
w=wrinkled) individual with a ggWw individual what would be your
expected phenotype ratio.
Homework Answers
Answer #1
Answer 1. 1/4 is correct answer.
Color blindness is a X-linked recessive disease, therefore it is
expressed only in males. Female having defected X chromosome have
normal vision and act as carrier of disease. According to given
situation father of both husband and wife are color blind, as shown
in figure husband do not have defected X chromosome but wife is a
carrier, having defected X chromosome.
Ptobability of their 1st child having the disease is therefore
25% or 1/4 because other three will not have
disease. | eng | e0f9c932-5fa8-4f83-a219-70a00563a33d | https://justaaa.com/biology/331110-genetics-will-give-a-thumbs-up-if-correct-please |
The Martian surface receives a constant flux of organic material through accretion of almost 1.7 x 108 kg Interplanetary Dust Particle (IDPs) every Mars year, of which a significant fraction is unaltered. Due to poor attenuation of UV insolation by the Martian atmosphere, this organic carbon present in IDPs is subject to UV photolysis, which laboratory studies have found will result in the release of Methane. However, before these particles can be completely degraded, many are likely buried by airfall dust. Indeed, observed sedimentary rhythmites with quasiperiodic bedding are hypothesized to have formed through accumulation of aeolian dust fall during the present era. These forming rhythmites can provide a UV shielding environment to any IDPs that become embedded within. We will present work to: (a) characterize the UV shielding provided by layers of sediment by studying the transmission of UV light through samples of JSC Mars-1, (b) model the degradation of buried organics in IDPs at Gale crater, and (c) model the degradation of buried IDPs globally to constrain the total surface load of organic carbon available for photolysis to methane. Preliminary results from the model focusing on Gale Crater with deposition rates of 25 μm/year indicate a long-term surface load of ~ 3.046 10-6 g/m2, yielding an organic carbon mass fraction of ~ 0.00015. Because the dust being deposited is highly opaque and the photolysis lifetime of IDPs is from decades to centuries, this suggests that exogenous carbon deposited by IDPs can be largely sequestered in areas of Mars that are accumulating dust. This sequestration by burial prevents this carbon from contributing to methane in the Martian atmosphere and makes modern rhythmites excellent candidates for preserving a record of the modern organic carbon accretion rate to Mars. | eng | 5386dc8c-ba6f-4007-97a1-f44b2ee2fe30 | https://baas.aas.org/pub/2022n8i213p01/release/1?readingCollection=15dae834 |

5 Reasons to Choose Organics for the Planet
March 23, 2023March 23, 2023
Find out how organic farming provides a sustainable solution to agriculture, while also supporting a thriving future for people and planet. This article was contributed by one of our sponsors, Chantal Organics.
Organic farming is a holistic approach that prioritizes the long-term health of the soil, land and waterways. This directly supports a sustainable future through ecological balance, environmental quality and healthy workers and animals.
Let's take a closer look at how organic practices support a sustainable planet.
Organics Support Better Soil . Healthy soil is the cornerstone of organic farming. Healthy, resilient soil contains more bacteria to help plants fight disease and pests (reducing the need for harmful pesticides), provides plants more nutrition (providing higher crop yields) and also holds more water (reducing runoff and soil erosion).
Soil also plays a key role in absorbing carbon, filtering water and growing healthy crops. It is estimated that 20-30% of our current greenhouse gases are from soil loss. The May 2019 UN report stated that if current farming practices continue, there is just 60 years of farmable topsoil remaining. Some say in 25 years, we will hit a point of no return.
Organics are Better for the Waterways. Healthy topsoil absorbs water when it rains, while depleted soil is too dry to do so, therefore producing water runoff. This runoff is dangerous as it carries any applied toxic fertilizer or pesticides into rivers, streams and the ocean. Supporting organic soil matter and eliminating the use of chemicals, supports fresh clean water for us all.
Organics Help to Fight Climate Change. Carbon sequestration is the capture of atmospheric carbon in the soil and ground foliage. Many people don't realise the planet's soil stores more carbon than the atmosphere, plants and forests combined. Improving soil health and planting perennials are two of the best ways to help soil sequester carbon from the atmosphere.
As you can see, healthy soil has become a key component in the fight against climate change. Organic farmers support this by planting nitrogen-rich legumes rather than using synthetic fertilisers, and maintaining healthy soils through crop rotations and composting.
Organic Farming can Provide Better Yields. Often it is thought organic farming might provide lower yields, however evidence suggests otherwise. The Rodale Institute Farming System Trial has shown organic crops, grown without GMOs and synthetic pesticides are actually more resilient to extreme weather. For example, during a drought, organic systems produced up to 24-34% higher yields.
Organics Support a Sustainable Future for NZ Humanity has come to a critical point in history, where food production must become innovative to support a growing population and the planet.
Here in NZ, the organization Organics Aotearoa New Zealand (OANZ), have a vision to make the world more sustainable through organics. They have a mission to nurture and protect the environment and to enhance the wellbeing of New Zealanders.
OANZ have created 4 principles of organic agriculture which include Health, Ecology, Fairness and Care. Through this focus, they have put together the 2022 New Zealand Organic Sector Strategy, which will be used to take New Zealand's fast-growing organic industry to the next level. It's inspiring to see action being taken in NZ, for New Zealanders.
Is organic food worth the price tag?
Simply put, organic farming costs more. The sustainable production processes reviewed above are more labour intensive and certainly more expensive. Rather than using commercially subsidized synthetic pesticides, organic farmers utilize crop rotation and manure or seaweed for healthy soils, which can add to labour costs. Organic certifications themselves also take time and money.
Organic food appears more expensive when considering the monetary price alone. However, when you consider the true cost of food, which includes the price on the planet and on our health, it may be a more realistic price than the cheap conventionally grown food. So, the question is: Is organic food worth it to you?

"In his most recent work, Lamin Sanneh offers a novel perspective on nineteenth-century antislavery movements. Instead of the usual narratives of William Wilberforce in England or William Lloyd Garrison in America, Sanneh tells of the vital role Africans—albeit often Americanized or Anglicized Africans—played in the abolition of slavery both on their own continent and around the globe… Sanneh's narrative poses some of the broadest and most important questions in the history of global colonization and modernization. Should we agree with him that the imposition of Western liberal cultural values and social organization in Africa—when these values were promoted by Africans themselves—was unambiguously a good thing? Should the entire world therefore be made over in the image of the United States with its notion of individual rights?"—Stewart Davenport and Wiebe Boer, Books & Culture
"Lamin Sanneh's book seeks to redirect the study of black abolitionism by accentuating the importance of Black Loyalists' return to Africa after the American Revolution… Sanneh's provocative interpretation broadens the study of abolitionism into an Atlantic perspective and re-centres abolitionism to include the Black Loyalists."—Graham Russell Hodges, International History Review
"Sanneh focuses on the colonization or 'back to Africa movement' as an outgrowth of the abolitionist-antislavery movement… [He] recounts the experiences of the black abolitionists to illustrate the conflicts and cross currents in the slave trade debate that are not generally discussed… Sanneh's work reflects the conflict of Christian values with domestic politics, which provided the opportunity for black Americans to influence the development of modern West Africa."—Vernon Ford, Booklist
"Sanneh argues that modern antislavery in Europe and America emerged from an evangelical Christianity centered on personal salvation that empowered a bottom-up social movement of ex-slaves, ex-captives, and their allies. These downtrodden outcasts created an 'antistructure' in the form of an alternative community that broke old structural traditions as best illustrated by the Sierra Leone colony created by blacks displaced during the American Revolution. There, Sannah argues, a new society based on freedom and human dignity formed a foundation for modern West Africa."—Thomas J. Davis, Library Journal
"In this absorbing study, Sannah argues for the historical significance of the settlement in Freetown, West Africa, established by nearly 1,200 freed slaves in 1792 as the foundation for a powerful anti-slavery movement that influenced social policy in both America and Europe. Using journals, letters and other evidence gleaned from public records, he shows that freed slaves and former captives such as Olaudah Equiano, David George, Paul Cuffee and others believed that abolitionist sentiment, together with Christianity, with its theme of God-giving humanity, could become an effective liberating force… This well-documented book offers sharp historical insights on an important but often neglected chapter in the history of American slavery."—Publishers Weekly
"Abolitionists Abroad tells the story of the cultural revolution engineered by freed slaves who traversed the Atlantic—again—to help destroy Africa's peculiar institution. Engrossing, inspiring, impeccably researched, Sanneh's book will change the way you think about Africa."—Henry Louis Gates, Jr | eng | b79ea292-ae35-4ee6-bd30-323fb08522ec | https://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog.php?isbn=9780674007185&content=reviews |
Which painting art should you start with?
The choice of the type of painting art to start with largely depends on your personal preferences and what you want to create. However, here are some types of painting art that you may consider for beginners :
Acrylic : Acrylic paints are made from pigments mixed with acrylic polymer, giving them a thick and creamy texture. They dry quickly and can be applied to almost any surface, including wood, canvas, paper, and metal. Acrylic paints are often used for abstract paintings, murals, illustrations, and drawings. They are also popular for beginner artists as they are easy to use and easy to clean.
Watercolor: Watercolors are made from pigments mixed with water and binder, giving them a light and transparent texture. They are often applied to watercolor paper, which has a special texture to absorb water. Watercolors are ideal for landscapes, portraits, and still life paintings. They are also popular for beginner artists as they are inexpensive and readily available.
Oil: Oil paints are made from pigments mixed with oil, typically linseed oil. Oil paints have a thick and creamy texture, making them ideal for creating textures and precise details. They are often applied to canvas stretched on a wooden frame. Oil paints are ideal for portraits, landscapes, and still life paintings, but they require longer drying time and require solvents for cleaning.
Gouache: Gouache is an opaque paint similar to watercolor but is more dense and has a smoother finish. It is often applied to watercolor paper or Bristol paper. Gouache is ideal for illustrations and drawings and can also be used for murals.
Finger Painting: Finger painting is a fun and creative painting method that can be used by children and beginner adults. It is often applied to paper or cardboard and can be mixed to create interesting colors and textures. Finger painting is inexpensive and easily accessible, and it allows for creating unique effects that cannot be achieved with other types of painting.
It can be helpful to try out different techniques to discover the one that suits you best. Ultimately, the choice of painting art type depends on your personal preferences, budget, and what you want to create. | eng | fea119f3-707c-4543-8d43-5f0c832eec8f | https://www.artistesmaroc.com/2023/04/01/which-painting-art-should-you-start-with/ |

Researchers from UniSA built drones to monitor COVID-19 symptoms from a distance. Credit: UniSA
Throughout 2020, researchers from the University of South Australia (UniSA) were racing against time to build technology that can remotely monitor the pandemic.
Working with North American drone manufacturer Draganfly Inc, the team combined drones, cameras and AI to develop systems that can check people's vital health signs from a distance, including key symptoms of COVID-19.
An individual's breathing, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels can be determined through a webcam video of their face, while core temperature can be measured using a thermal camera. They hope to soon be able to monitor blood pressure, too.
Once the technology was up and running mid last year, requests to test it came flooding in, including from the US government, law enforcement, health care agencies, universities and airlines. But privacy, security and ethical questions had to be dealt with first.

"The question was, can you separate the surveillance of the pandemic from the surveillance of people?" asks lead UniSA researcher Javaan Chahl.
Though these questions remain, the technology has so far been applied in drones, security cameras and kiosks able to scan vital signs in just 15 seconds. For example, the tech was picked up by the US's Alabama State University in September 2020, used to check for symptoms in staff and students – plus enforce social distancing.
"What we've done is we've built a technology that is ideal for the next pandemic," Chahl says.

In the "era of scroll" it can be harder and harder to come across meaningful content online, particularly when it comes to filmmaking. But, don't fret. There's an antidote for that endless scroll: Filmmaking podcasts.
Ok, we all know podcasts are great at this point. Essentially, they're the rebirth of radio in its optimized form. You have access to the best storytellers and thinkers in the universe, neatly packaged in a format you can knock out on a commute or on the treadmill.
But, podcasts are especially great for filmmakers. We're constantly bombarded by the visual side of things, and that leaves a perfect gap for audio to fill those in-between moments or long days at the editing bay.
It's also true that just about everyone is starting a podcast these days, which makes the whole curation part overwhelming. That's why we decided to put together our list of favorite film podcasts for filmmakers. Some of them are directly film-related, while others are a bit off the wall. All of them, however, will do one of the following three things:
Make you a better storyteller.
Give you some insight from other high-level creatives.
Make that rough cut a tad more bearable.
So, here's our big list of film podcasts. We know there are a lot (hundreds?) that probably need to be on this list. But, these are just a few that spoke to us. Enjoy.

What it is: Critical juggernaut A24 features an unhosted take on film podcasts, as different filmmakers discuss their films, influences, and careers.
Why we love it: It's an A24 podcast, enough said. The studio is making the most of the talented filmmakers they're connected with, revealing the creativity behind each film. Our favorite part, though, is the focus on the influences behind directors and their films—always a fascinating listen.
What it is: Aaron Mahnke tells some of the strangest (and scariest) stories behind common folklore, myths, and legends.
Why we love it: Beyond having a killer soundtrack (shoutout to Musicbed Artist Chad Lawson), we think Lore is just a plain awesome podcast to get lost in. The stories are engrossing and there may be no better way to get inspired for your next screenplay.
What it is: Comedian and actor Marc Maron interviews the biggest, boldest, and brightest in the industry as only Marc Maron can.
Why we love it: Ok, this isn't really a film podcast, but we think it's a must-listen if you haven't already. Marc Maron is quite the personality. He's a little rough around the edges, but that makes his interviews all the more compelling—he's not afraid to have real, sometimes awkward conversations, offering a glimpse into the lives of people we never thought we'd know at that level.
What it is: Host Christian Schultz interviews directors, cinematographers, and more, in down-to-earth, intimate conversations. It's a filmmaking podcast hosted by a filmmaker.
Why we love it: Our good buddy (and talented director himself) Christian Schultz is knee-deep in his burgeoning film career and it shows in this podcast. In his conversations with up-and-coming filmmakers, it's evident he has an intimate knowledge of the filmmaking process, which makes for a great listen.
What it is: Presented by the insanely talented team at Vinegar Hill, School of Doc explores the art and craft of documentary filmmaking.
Why we love it: Finally, documentaries are getting some love in the podcast game!

It may be about documentaries, but every filmmaker can learn from this one.
Why we love it: Yet another non-film podcast, this one is just as essential because of its storytelling. If you want a master class on how to choose an interesting topic and then explain it in an interesting way, this is the place to get it. Especially for documentarians and short-film aficionados, this podcast is a wealth of inspiration.
What it is: Adobe's 99u team dives into the minds of leading creatives, thinkers, and entrepreneur's to dissect their unique perspectives.
Why we love it: Creatives, if anything, are good at taking one insight and translating it into their own process—i.e. the art of stealing. That's where a podcast like 99u comes in. By sharing info from designers, artists, business owners, and more, you can find a parallel set of skills that may just transform your film career. This podcast has hidden gems everywhere.
What it is: Produced by The Ringer, The Big Picture takes a high-level view of the film industry and makes sense of it.
Why we love it: This is another great option for industry-wide news and opinions. You get the sharp editorial tone of The Ringer, of course, but this time directed at film festivals, new releases, and, well, big-picture perspectives on everything entertainment.
What it is: Dallas Taylor of Defacto Sound investigates the stories behind some of the world's most interesting sounds.
Why we love it: A sound designer by trade, Dallas is quickly becoming one of the foremost thought leaders in sound as a whole—how we perceive it and how it affects our lives. As one of the most under-appreciated senses, we think every filmmaker needs to pay more attention to sound and this podcast is one of the most fun ways to do it.
What it is: Malcolm Gladwell takes a second-look at some of history's most formative events, to see if there's something the history books overlooked.
Why we love it: If you've ever read anything by Malcolm Gladwell, you know that he has a knack for making everyday things seem fascinating—and the same goes for history.

Global Gender Gap Report 2023
World Economic Forum launched the Global Gender Gap Report 2023 which benchmarks the current state and evolution of gender parity across four key dimensions (Economic Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival, and Political Empowerment).
In the 2023 edition, the global gender gap score for 146 countries is 68.4%, indicating modest progress in closing the gender gap. Out of the 145 countries covered in both the 2022 and 2023 editions, the overall score has improved by 0.3 percentage points, increasing from 68.1% to 68.4%. This suggests a very slight change compared to the previous year's edition.
The gender gap in Health and Survival has closed by 96% across the 146 countries covered. The Educational Attainment gap has also narrowed by 95.2%, indicating progress in educational opportunities for all genders. However, the Economic Participation and Opportunity gap stands at 60.1%, suggesting room for improvement in providing equal economic opportunities. Similarly, the Political Empowerment gap remains at 22.1%, highlighting the need for increased representation and participation of women in political decision-making processes.
Performance of South Asia in Bridging Gender Gap
Among the eight regions, Southern Asia has achieved a gender parity score of 63.4%, which is the second-lowest score. However, there has been progress in the region, with the score increasing by 1.1 percentage points compared to the previous edition. This improvement can be attributed, at least in part, to the higher scores of populous countries such as India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
The Key highlights of the report are as follows:
Evolving gender gaps in the global labor market
Women worldwide still experience higher unemployment rates compared to men, with women having an unemployment rate of approximately 4.5% while men have a slightly lower rate of 4.3%.
Women in Leadership Positions
For the past eight years, the proportion of women hired into leadership positions has been steadily increasing by about 1% per year globally. However, this trend shows a clear reversal starting in 2022, which brings the 2023 rate back to 2021 levels.
Gender Gaps in the labor markets of the Future
In non-STEM occupations, women represent nearly half, or 49.3%, of the total employment. However, in STEM fields, women make up only 29.2% of all workers. Although the percentage of female STEM graduates entering STEM employment is growing with each cohort, the data regarding the integration of STEM university graduates into the labor market reveals a significant drop in the retention of women in STEM field.
DEI programs to close gender gaps
Over two-thirds of the organizations surveyed have adopted Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs. Among the companies surveyed, a significant majority (79%) are implementing DEI programs specifically with a focus on women, demonstrating a commitment to promoting gender equality in the workplace.
Promoting women's economic participation and achieving gender equality in leadership roles, both in business and government, are crucial for addressing overall gender disparities in households, societies, and economies. To accelerate progress toward gender parity and foster growth and resilience, bold and coordinated action from leaders in both the private and public sectors is essential. | eng | d8f8b9c5-4553-4643-a7b8-b4ff1e96916b | https://blog.arthancareers.com/global-gender-gap-report-2023/ |
What Is Cloud Computing?
Technology drives the way we live our lives. Everything from communications to entertainment to social networks is created and delivered faster than the speed of light. One of the fastest changes in the technology world is cloud computing. Cloud computing has been around for decades but it has recently exploded with new features and uses that allow companies to empower their employees while saving time and money. Cloud computing delivers many important capabilities to help business people improve their efficiency. Here are a few examples:
Disaster recovery is one of the key capabilities of cloud computing services. Typically, when a company experiences a catastrophe, IT professionals manage the systems in-house. However, in some cases, IT cannot manage because of the disaster. With cloud computing services, a businessperson can use an online data backup service to restore critical applications and files in real time.
Infrastructure servers are another way cloud computing services help companies. An IaaS is a virtual machine. It is similar to a dedicated server but hosted on the cloud provider's infrastructure. The IaaS runs applications and performs services in the cloud environment as a virtual machine.
Hybrid clouds are another type of cloud computing service that combines hardware and software solutions. A hybrid cloud solution usually consists of two or more servers. The hardware is typically based on the technology of the client business. In addition, the software applications are normally based on open source technologies such as Java and PHP.
Public clouds are also known as public virtual servers. They are hosted by an internet service provider (ISP). The IaaS is part of the public cloud services and may be sold on demand. In contrast, infrastructure based on private or hybrid clouds is not sold on a pay-for-use basis.
Some cloud computing providers offer infrastructure as a service as well as cloud services. Infrastructure as a service is an application through which a company's IT infrastructure operates just like it would in a dedicated infrastructure. Private clouds are managed by a technology or network administrator. Hybrid clouds operate similarly to a public cloud but the hardware is owned by a third-party company and used for the client's data storage needs.
Disaster recovery is also an important aspect of using cloud computing. This process involves restoring vital data and applications to a specific point in time. This provides companies with the ability to use electronic systems and applications even after a disaster. Companies must invest in disaster recovery technology because disasters can occur at any time. If an employee's car breaks down in the middle of the road, the company cannot afford to lose data or incur expenses to have the car repaired.
Technology experts forecast that cloud computing services will continue to expand at a rapid rate over the next few years. There are already many public cloud services available including Amazon Web Services, Google Data Servers, IBM's SoftLayer, Microsoft's Platform Development Kit (PDK), Google Compute Cloud, and Yahoo! WebOS. While these services still face hurdles, cloud computing services have the potential to significantly reduce operating costs. This could spur more investment from customers, which could ultimately lead to increased profitability.
Some argue that the best solution right now is private cloud computing. Unlike public clouds, private cloud service providers do not need to share their infrastructure. However, private cloud service providers typically charge more because they have access to more hardware and resources. This makes them appear to be more costly than public cloud service providers. Hybrid cloud service providers serve as a great alternative because they combine the best aspects of public and private cloud computing.
Hybrid cloud services combine some of the features of both public and private cloud computing solutions, but they also provide additional benefits. These benefits include increased reliability, higher performance, enhanced security, and additional storage capabilities. With the combination of these services, companies have the opportunity to take advantage of both services without having to spend all their money on private services. This allows them to maximize the return on investment (ROI) from their IT budget.
For smaller businesses, it is important to make the best use of technology. Many companies that have limited IT budgets struggle with the decision to go with either public cloud services or private services. However, with a hybrid cloud computing strategy, they can get all the benefits of both services without spending all of their available IT budget on just one. By using the advantages offered by both public and private cloud services, smaller businesses can successfully reduce their IT costs and increase their IT efficiency.
With many companies investing in virtualization technologies, it is important for them to look into cloud computing. Virtualization allows businesses to use the same infrastructure regardless of whether they are in the public or private cloud. Cloud computing reduces the overall cost of IT, because it provides businesses with a reliable and consistent resource. Now that businesses are aware of the benefits that cloud computing can offer, they are eager to use these services in order to save money. However, virtualization requires large amounts of hardware and software, which can easily become too expensive for some organizations. | eng | eba9b090-a4d2-4966-84a9-41a3a21a259e | https://www.knightfoundry.org/what-is-cloud-computing/ |
Avoid trunk injections unless justified
Trunk injections are one method for treating trees for certain issues. Unfortunately, trunk injection may be used when not needed, leading to unnecessary tree damage and shortening a trees life.
Trunk injections can effectively control some pests and treat iron chlorosis if used correctly. They can also result in less pesticide being used and lowered contact of nontargets, like beneficial insects.
However, trunk injections have drawbacks. For this reason, trees should not be injected unless there is a justifiable reason for doing so. Injecting a tree is not equivalent to people receiving an injection.
Most injections are applied by drilling holes into the trunk. A healthy tree will seal or compartmentalize these wounds, but the wounds remain as dead tissue. Repeated drilling eventually creates numerous wounds that negatively impact a tree since previously used holes cannot be re-drilled and injected into.
Injection wounds opens the trunk to insect pests and decay fungi. The drilling may also break through internal barriers within the trunk the tree has made to wall off decay. Decay may then spread within the tree or from the inside out through injection wounds.
The pesticide being injected into the tree can also cause internal damage that may accumulate over years of repeated injections and potentially kill the tree, even if the pest is controlled.
When trunk injections are used for a justifiable reason, trees should not be retreated until the injection wounds close over. And remember, the wound has sealed but remains in the wood. Tree wounds do not heal like wounds on our own skin. This is why lumber has knots.
One reason for trunk injection is to treat iron chlorosis. If a tree needs treatment, the leaves will be pale green or yellow. Trunk injections are often used on pin oak and silver maple to treat for chlorosis, but unless the leaves are yellow, there is no reason to inject and create permanent wounds.
Treatment for borers is another reason to use trunk injections; but again, unless a tree has a borer issue, it should not be injected. In the case of emerald ash borer, injection is not recommended until the borer has been found within 15 miles of a tree.
In some cases, trunk injection may be the best treatment to use despite the damage it does to a tree. But do not agree to have a tree injected unless there is a justifiable reason for doing so.
If trunk injection is recommended, ask what the tree is being treated for and why trunk injection is the best choice. Ask if there are other less invasive and damaging methods to use. Ask what is being injected into the tree and what potential risks are associated with the product.
If trunk injection appears to be the best choice, make sure the person injecting the tree has experience and uses the correct equipment. For example, injection treatments that use small, shallow holes and smaller amounts of product are less damaging.
Inspect injection wounds and ask that additional trunk injections not be done until the wounds have closed completely.

Energy Mandates in California
Energy Mandates in California
Present day political concern with the environment warns against the dangers of climate change, carbon footprints, and dirty energy. In response, many states have implemented renewable portfolio standards (RPS), but beautiful California has set a high goal to have 33 percent of the state's electricity come from renewable resources by the year 2020. This executive order was signed by Governor Schwarzenegger in 2008 and codified by Governor Brown last year. Currently, California's renewables make up half of the 2020 goal, or 14.6% according to the California Energy Commission.
According to the US Energy Information Administration, 2010 data show that California is on the higher end of average retail prices for electricity, and ranks second in the country after the state of Washington for U.S. renewable electricity capacity and generation.
California currently faces a serious budget crisis, so certain questions of cost and viability are important for women to consider in the face of executive order energy mandates.
First, will they cause electricity to become more expensive? Some argue that California's goal of 33% for renewable energy certainly will. The state's electric market already faces strains this summer due to two nuclear plants shutting down and a report issued by the U.S. Energy Information Administration notes that the electric system operator for most of the state (the California Independent System Operator – CAISO), may face complications with ramping and voltage support while increasing amounts of wind, solar, and other renewables are integrated into the system.
Moreover, the amount of energy we consume is only expected to rise in the near future (data centers serving companies like Google and Facebook are one example). Meanwhile, renewables like solar and wind are variable. We'll always have wind and sun intermittently, but our current challenge is with capturing it. While new technology to store energy such as batteries or flywheels are emerging, at present this technology is still very costly.
The other (ironic) problem with new storage technology is that it can pose environmental hazards by taking up lots of new land. California's Desert Renewable Energy Conservation Plan (the Governor's executive order as part of the renewables legislation) currently seeks to identify particular locations for renewable energy projects while trying to protect California's desert regions which "support extraordinary biological and other natural resources of great value, including numerous threatened and endangered plant and animal species."
Particularly before the technological storage is adequate and while electric transmission grids could overload, California probably shouldn't be mandating such an ambitious percentage of renewables. The Golden State should aim to live within its means first. | eng | 16f38600-8d09-407a-8e22-42c329b02638 | https://www.iwf.org/2012/06/19/energy-mandates-in-california/ |

The humpback whale is a majestic creature that captivates the hearts of all who have the pleasure of seeing it in person. This species of baleen whale, found in oceans all around the world, is known for its distinctive song and acrobatic displays. Humpback whales are one of the largest marine mammals, reaching lengths of up to 60 feet and weighing up to 40 tons. These gentle giants play a crucial role in oceanic ecosystems and serve as an important indicator of the health of our seas.
Humpback whales are among the most fascinating creatures on the planet. These gentle giants, which can grow up to 50 feet in length and weigh as much as 40 tons, are known for their incredible leaping abilities, their haunting songs, and their unique markings. Despite this, humpback whales are also among the most endangered species on earth. This article aims to provide an overview of these magnificent creatures, as well as the importance of conserving humpback whales.
Overview of humpback whales
Humpback whales are found in oceans around the globe. They are most commonly found in the North Pacific, along the Pacific coast of North America, but they can also be found in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
These large marine mammals are known for their distinct appearance – they have a wrinkled, knobby head and long, pectoral fins that can be up to a third of their total body length. They are also known for their incredible leaping abilities, sometimes jumping completely out of the water in a behavior called breaching.
Humpback whales are also famous for their complex and haunting songs. These songs, which can last up to 30 minutes and be heard over long distances, are thought to be a form of communication between whales, although their exact purpose is still unknown.
Although once heavily hunted for their blubber, humpback whales are now protected by law, with several international agreements regulating their hunting and conservation.
Conserving humpback whales is not just important for their survival, but for the survival of the ocean's entire ecosystem. Humpback whales play a vital role in the food web, as they consume large amounts of krill and small fish, which helps to maintain a healthy balance in the ocean.
Humpback whales are also important for their role in carbon sequestration. When whales die, their bodies sink to the bottom of the ocean, where they store large amounts of carbon. In fact, it's estimated that one whale can store up to 33 tons of CO2.
Finally, humpback whales are simply awe-inspiring creatures, and their presence in the ocean is a constant reminder of the beauty and power of nature. By conserving humpback whales, we are protecting not just one species, but an entire ecosystem that is vital to the health and well-being of our planet.
In conclusion, humpback whales are amazing creatures that hold great importance in our oceans and to our planet. By conserving these gentle giants, we can ensure the survival of an entire ecosystem and continue to marvel at the beauty and power of nature.

Humpback Whale Behavior and Biology
Humpback whales are a species of cetaceans and are members of the baleen whale family. These magnificent creatures are known for their unique behaviors and physical characteristics, such as their long flippers, powerful tails, and their ability to sing complex songs. Humpback whales can grow up to 52 feet long and weigh as much as 79,000 pounds. They have a lifespan of around 50 years and travel long distances during their annual migrations.
Humpback Whale Communication
One of the most fascinating things about humpback whales is their communication ability. These whales are known for their complex songs, which can be heard over long distances and can last for several minutes. Researchers believe that these songs are used for communication between humpback whales during mating and reproduction, as well as for socializing and establishing dominance.
Humpback whales also communicate through body language, such as flapping their tails and slapping their fins on the water's surface. These behaviors are often used to warn other whales of potential threats or to indicate their readiness to mate.
In addition to their communication abilities, humpback whales are also known for their intelligence. They have a highly developed brain and are capable of problem-solving, learning, and memory. For example, humpback whales have been observed working together to capture prey, using a technique known as bubble netting.
Humpback Whale Feeding and Breaching Behaviors
Humpback whales are known for their unique feeding behaviors, which often involve a combination of bubble netting and lunge feeding. This technique involves the whales circling around schools of small fish or krill and releasing bubbles from their blowholes to create a wall that prevents the prey from escaping. The whales then lunge towards the prey, taking in large amounts of food in a single breath.
Another amazing behavior of humpback whales is their breaching behavior. This is when a humpback whale launches itself out of the water and lands back on the surface with a loud splash. This behavior is believed to be a form of communication, used to attract mates or establish dominance. It may also serve as a way to dislodge parasites or simply for play.
In conclusion, humpback whales are fascinating creatures that exhibit unique behaviors and physical characteristics. Their complex communication abilities, intelligence, and feeding and breaching behaviors make them a fascinating species to study. By understanding more about humpback whales, we can help protect them and ensure their continued survival in the wild.
The majestic beauty of humpback whales is truly a sight to behold. These gentle giants of the sea are not only awe-inspiring but also incredibly important to our planet's ecosystem. However, with the increasing threat of climate change and human activity, humpback whales are facing more challenges than ever before.

Yak meat and drinking water carried to pandemic-hit Shanghai from Tibet; China calls it Tibet's 'donation'
Lhasa: According to Chinese media reports, "anti-epidemic supplies" including 100 tonnes of dried yak meat and 3,000 tonnes of drinking water were transported from Tibet to pandemic-hit Shanghai on 10th April, as per decision by "TAR Party Committee and Government". Additionally, 5,000 tonnes of drinking water were transferred to China's Jilin province.
"To show its support for the eastern metropolis and the northeastern province battling a COVID-19 resurgence" Tibet was "donating" the supplies, claimed CGTN news outlet.
Tibetan Review had noted in an article that sending such a donation in the name of an intensely Buddhist religious people who would refrain from such a large-scale killing of animals was meant to be a deliberate affront to them, given its ongoing Sinicization drive. Earlier, donations of Tibetan herbal medicine were sent to affected areas in China during the first wave of COVID19.
Authorities in Shanghai had imposed draconian lockdown measures since March 2022 that significantly impeded people's access to health care, food, and other life necessities. An unknown number of people have reportedly died after being denied medical treatment for their non-Covid related illnesses. In a video that went viral on social media, residents of Shanghai could be heard screaming from their balconies and windows. | eng | 0bc7a2a5-6ed3-4b7e-8c66-64644f30fc9f | https://www.tibetrightscollective.in/news/yak-meat-and-drinking-water-carried-to-pandemic-hit-shanghai-from-tibet-china-calls-it-tibets-donation- |

Striving for high-quality computing
Following Ofsted's recent subject research review into computing, STEM Learning's primary specialist Rachel Jackson looks at the key findings and suggests how schools can address them
One of the key points raised is that primary teachers aren't computing experts. This is hardly surprising given the number of subjects covered in primary schools.
Research carried out in 2017 suggests that only a very small minority have a computer science qualification as their highest qualification. This means that teachers may feel less confident in designing a curriculum and in knowing how to move children's learning in computing. The Ofsted review states: 'it is important that school leaders provide sufficient subject-specific professional development to enable teachers to design and teach a high-quality computing curriculum.'
Teacher Support
Our NCCE courses, aimed at either Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2, help teachers improve their subject knowledge and explore ways to teach computing effectively. They can be done either remotely or face-to-face locally at one of our Computing Hubs. If you're looking to improve your knowledge in programming, then our Primary programming and algorithms course will improve your subject knowledge and provide you with effective strategies for teaching this aspect of computing at primary.
If you're a computing subject lead, then a leadership course will upskill your understanding of computing and empower you to support colleagues back in school. Have a look at the leadership courses available in our learning pathway.
Not enough equipment
Following concerns about subject knowledge, the review refers to previous research which showed that teachers were concerned that the curriculum was too advanced for the available physical resources and budget.
This is something that is often heard when teachers are asked what prevents them from teaching effective computing lessons. If your school is struggling to teach computing because of a lack of equipment, then our Computing on a budget course provides lots of ideas for how to ensure children are provided with effective lessons.
You can also access a physical computing loan scheme from your local Computing Hub. This involves being able to borrow a class set of Crumble Controller or micro:bits to use in your school. Join us on a short course where you can learn the basics of either crumble or micro:bit.
Digital Literacy
The review states that 'teachers should not make assumptions about pupils' prior knowledge within digital literacy.'
Teachers may assume that children who interact regularly with technology are automatically good at computing. This is not always the case, as many may have experience with tablets or phones but are not experienced using laptops or PCs to create content.
This report explores the role of digital literacy within the curriculum. If you would like to explore how this may look in the classroom, then join us on one of our courses aimed at supporting teachers in KS1 and KS2. The sessions look at digital literacy, unpick what it is and how to ensure children progress in their understanding of how to engage with technology. Online safety, which is part of digital literacy, involves a whole school approach involving designated individuals. This short course supports schools in ensuring that they keep children safe whilst teaching computing and using technology.
Understanding Code
The review makes another key point: "Teachers might be tempted to expect pupils to write code at the very early stages of their programming education before they know what that code will do."
Helping children understand code and what it does is very much part of the Teach Computing Curriculum resources. Ideas include predicting what a programme will do before it is run, adding different blocks to see how this changes what it does, or even looking at a mixed-up section of code and sequencing it so that it will run. These help children to understand what code is, before having to write code themselves.
We would never ask children to write a story without understanding how a story opens, introducing characters and setting, or without the knowledge of how to use basic punctuation and grammar. So why would we use a blank page when coding? Ideas such as these support children to further understand what a code is so they are not faced with the daunting task of having to write code before they understand what it does.
Subject-specific CPD
Another thread in this report is the importance of supporting teachers to teach computing effectively in schools. Teach Computing provides a high-quality computing curriculum designed by primary computing specialists, CPD on how to use this curriculum in your school and support for teachers whatever their computing level of computing confidence and expertise.

A Garnishee Order is a court order that requires a debtor's employer to withhold a certain amount of the debtor's wages and pay that money to the creditor. The purpose of a Garnishee Order is to help creditors collect on debts that are owed to them. In South Africa, a Garnishee Order can only be issued if the debt is for more than R500 and the debtor has not made any payments towards the debt for at least 30 days.
If you are struggling to repay your debts, you may be worried about creditors taking legal action against you. One way that creditors can try to collect on a debt is by obtaining a Garnishee Order from the court. A Garnishee Order requires your employer to withhold a certain amount of your wages and pay that money to your creditor.
Although a Garnishee Order can be an effective way for creditors to collect on unpaid debts, it should be used as a last resort. If you are able to negotiate with your creditor and come up with a repayment plan, you can avoid having a Garnishee Order issued against you.
5 Tips to Prevent a Garnishee Order
If you are struggling to repay your debts, you might be worried about a garnishee order. A garnishee order is a legal order that allows a creditor to deduct money from your salary or bank account to repay your debt. In South Africa, creditors can apply for a garnishee order if you owe them more than R500.
There are some ways that you can avoid a garnishee order from your creditors. Here are some tips:
Keep up with your debt repayments
If you keep up with your debt repayments, then your creditors will be less likely to apply for a garnishee order. Make sure that you make at least the minimum payment on time every month. If you can afford to, try to pay off more than the minimum amount each month.
Negotiate with your creditors
If you are struggling to make your debt repayments, try negotiating with your creditors. Explain your financial situation and see if they are willing to work out a new repayment plan that is more affordable for you. Creditors are often willing to negotiate because they would rather receive some of the money that you owe them than nothing at all.
If you are struggling to deal with your debts, seek help from a registered debt counsellor. A debt counsellor can help you develop a debt repayment plan and negotiate with your creditors on your behalf.
Book an appointment below.
Apply for debt review
If you are struggling to repay your debts, you can apply for debt review. This is a legal process that can help you get your debts under control. A debt counsellor will assess your financial situation and develop a new repayment plan that is more affordable for you.
If you are unable to repay your debts, you can consider declaring bankruptcy. This is a last resort option and should only be considered if all other options have failed.
What is an emoluments attachment order?
An emoluments attachment order (EAO) is a court order that allows a creditor to attach a debtor's salary or wages in order to repay a debt. The EAO is also known as a wage garnishment. In South Africa, an EAO can be issued by the magistrate's court or the high court.
When an EAO is issued, the debtor's employer will be required to deduct a certain percentage of the debtor's salary or wages and pay it directly to the creditor. The deduction will continue until the debt is paid in full or arrangement has been made to repay the debt.
It is important to note that an EAO should not be confused with a wage deduction order, which is used to deduct money from an employee's wage in order to repay debts owed to the state, such as taxes or child support payments.
Conclusion
A garnishee order is a legal tool used by creditors to collect money owed to them. If you are struggling to pay your debts, you should be aware of the ways in which creditors can use garnishee orders against you. Fortunately, there are some things you can do to avoid having a garnishee order issued against you.

Did you know that nearly half of Americans do not recycle their beauty and personal care products, which is why they account for a significant amount of waste found in landfills?
With this insight, Garnier partnered with TerraCycle and DoSomething.org, the largest organization for young people and social change, to launch the second year of Rinse, Recycle, Repeat. The goal of this national campaign and college campus competition is to educate young people on how to responsibly recycle in the bathroom and divert beauty empties from landfills. Once collected, TerraCycle will recycle the packaging into pelletized lumber and create materials to build Garnier Green Gardens such as picnic tables, playground equipment, benches and garden beds.
Garnier's Brand Ambassador, Mandy Moore, serves as the face of the campaign this year and stars in a public service announcement educating young people about how to responsibly recycle bathroom empties.
The PSA can be viewed here. By rallying young people to recycle their empties, Garnier hopes that this campaign will be able to help divert 1 million empty personal care and beauty products from landfills by the end of 2018.
"I'm very passionate about taking care of our planet. Garnier's commitment to responsible beauty is one of the things that really excited me about the opportunity to serve as their brand ambassador," said Moore.
Beauty and personal care products with a number #1 or #2 on the packaging can be recycled through curbside recycling programs, but many beauty products cannot. Items such as flexible tubes, caps, pumps for shampoo bottles, lipstick, eyeliner and many others cannot be recycled curbside and must be separated. This year's national campaign will focus on educating participants on the proper way to recycle by giving them recycling tips on what can and cannot be recycled. The campaign will also showcase best practices to identify recyclable items, such as checking the numbers on packaging before tossing it out.
How to Get Involved in Rinse, Recycle, Repeat and Recycle Your Beauty Empties
To participate in the national Rinse, Recycle, Repeat campaign (March 1st through April 30th 2018), individuals can:
Sign up online at dosomething.org/rinse, decorate a bathroom recycling bin and share a picture with DoSomething.org on the "Prove It" page online or by texting RINSE to 38383 to be entered to win a $5,000 scholarship.
Once the bin is filled with ten pounds of beauty empties, participants can print a free shipping label, compliments of Garnier, to send their empties to TerraCycle to be responsibly recycled.
On April 1st, a college competition will kick off on 50 college campuses nationwide to collect the most beauty empties. The college team that collects the most empties by April 30th will be rewarded with a garden for their community furnished by Garnier and TerraCycle. Last year, Union College won the 2017 Rinse, Recycle, Repeat College Competition. The team was awarded a Garnier Green Gardenplanted in their local community of Lincoln, Nebraska. | eng | 2b1e5462-d902-4795-a3b9-979c7244e4f0 | https://www.latfusa.com/article/2018/03/mandy-moore-partners-with-garnier-dosomething-org |

Abstract
With the advent of natural language processing and machine learning techniques, Sentimental Analysis (SA) is receiving attention among various communities due to interpreting and classifying emotions from subjective data. The way of categorizing the emotions as positive, negative, and neutral enables the brand providers to know about their intention and reaction to their products. Existing researches have been focused on text summarization, feature reduction, and sentiment prediction separately. In this paper, all the approaches are integrated to provide a novel sentimental analysis framework for classifying the patients' emotions towards the medical facility through Twitter, Facebook, and other social media. The main aim of the work is manifold. The proposed paper performs preprocessing at the outset, which includes word segmentation, tokenization, TF-IDF, and stemming. First, the text summarization is performed by applying query-based summarization, which adopts a Deep Neural Network (DNN) for encoding the input data encompassing text and icon to convert into a fixed size at the final state, followed by decoding the encoded text and icon using the unidirectional DNN for creating the summary of the input document. Second, to improve scalability, feature reduction is performed using the effective Genetic Algorithm. The proposed system is experimented with using the real-time datasets from social media platforms to analyze the proposed healthcare sentimental analysis model. The parameters such as accuracy, F-score, recall rate, and precision are chosen to analyze the performance against existing sentimental analysis models. | eng | 19d0a4dc-2fbb-4715-8941-ee23980c5890 | https://turcomat.org/index.php/turkbilmat/article/view/4674 |
The Dutch painter Hugo van der Goes is one of the most enigmatic figures in art history. Next to Jan van Eyck and Rogier van der Weiden he is the third main master of the Old Netherlandish painting in the "Autumn of the Middle Ages". Johan Huizinga used this metaphor to characterize this epoch in his classic, in competition with Jacob Burckhardt's "Renaissance Culture in Italy". Van der Goes was probably born in Ghent, Flemish, in 1440 and died in a monastery near Brussels around 1482/83. In the last years of his life he was considered insane, there was a suicide attempt. His despair, which was also articulated in religious terms, was documented, making him an early example of the European theme of "genius and madness", with repercussions mainly in the 19th century, up to Vincent van Gogh | eng | 4c62a473-0462-47ce-8ca8-0daf6eb9c25d | https://filmdailytv.com/hugo-van-der-goes-in-the-berlin-picture-gallery-genius-in-large-format-culture/ |
Why don't we make voting about moving to git?
Do you want to move to git?
Pls answer yes or no.
My answer is: YES
Sorry, but I would prefer to gather a few more arguments and hands on
experience before voting about the move to another version control
system, although it was me that suggested that move.
The criteria for me to decide is where the central repository would be
situated. I still would prefer Savannah and/or GNA although they both
have failed us at times. Savannah is currently hosting the GNUstep bug
tracker and I would like to keep that, but have it better integrated
with the version control system if that is possible.
Fossil is a completely new option to me and I would prefer to really
understand it, before I vote it down. And after all, we cannot move the
repository as long as GNA is down :-( | eng | 845ee9d2-1162-4f42-b04e-d409353b1a12 | https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/discuss-gnustep/2012-02/msg00124.html |
Teapot Vs Tea Kettle: What's the Big Difference?
When you're sifting through the aisles at Target in search of something to hold your favorite hot beverages, you might find yourself thinking about a teapot vs tea kettle. They might look similar, but there is a distinct difference between the two.
What is the difference between a teapot and a tea kettle?
A teapot is specifically designed to hold boiling water with tea leaves or coffee grounds for steeping, brewing, and sharing with others easily. A tea kettle is designed to boil water, either on top of a stove or with an electrical device.
Knowing the difference between a teapot and a tea kettle is important. After all, you would hate to buy a teapot and place it on the stove, only to watch it crumble in front of your eyes.
We are going to dig deep into the world of teapots and tea kettles and explain the major differences between the two, and why one may be more important than the other.

Teapot Vs Tea Kettle
While they may look the same, teapots and tea kettles are quite different and serve specific purposes. Using them incorrectly can ruin them or break them entirely, so let's take a more in-depth look at the differences and when to use each device.
What is a Teapot, and What is it Used For?
A teapot is a container that is specifically used for holding boiling water or water that is extremely hot. These containers can be made from a variety of materials, including porcelain, stone, steel, or ceramic.
Now you can imagine why you might not want to place a porcelain teapot on top of your gas stove – it would shatter almost immediately.
The primary purpose of the teapot is brewing tea leaves or coffee grounds. You simply toss your favorite tea leaves or coffee grounds into the pot (often inside an infuser/strainer), then fill it with boiling water.
Most teapots are constructed with a specific opening to pour the hot water into, which makes your job effortless without the fear of burning yourself along the way.
As someone who drinks tea every day, being able to steep tea leaves ensures that there is immensely more flavor. Bagged tea products simply do not have the same depth of flavor as loose tea leaves.
Aside from an opening for pouring water, most teapots also come with a handy spout for pouring tea and a sturdy handle. The spout may or may not have a built-in strainer that ensures no leafy bits or coffee grounds end up in your cup.
Due to the delicateness of a teapot, it should never be placed on a stove. This is probably the most important thing to remember when you are searching for new appliances for your kitchen. While they are great for steeping and serving tea or coffee, they should never be used to boil the necessary water.
Teapots come in a variety of designs that can suit anyone's tastes. They also come in a wide range of sizes, with some being single-serving teapots, for the introverted folks, or larger sizes for those who enjoy the art of entertaining.
Now that we've covered a tea pot, let's talk about a tea kettle.
What is a Tea Kettle, and What is it Used For?
Now that you know the teapot is for merely holding and steeping your beverages, you can likely guess that the tea kettle is for boiling the water. Tea kettles are designed with materials, such as stainless steel, aluminum, or glass, all of which are suitable for being heated up, unlike their teapot counterpart.
Tea kettles can boil water by being placed on a stove, and there are also electrical tea kettles that boil water using a heating base beneath the container.
Types of Tea Kettles
Stovetop tea kettles can be used on all types of stoves, whether using a gas or electric range. However, the downside to this type of kettle is that it takes longer to heat up and is not as energy efficient.
Electric tea kettles use electricity rather than a stove to heat water. Because of their design, these kettles can boil water very quickly- some can heat water in as little as 30 to 60 seconds. Electric tea kettles are more expensive, but their swift heating capabilities and energy efficiency make them a nice option.
Some electric models can have other handy features, too, such as being able to control the temperature so that you get exactly what you want- every time.
Some may also have an auto-shutoff for safety, a filter that stops hard water buildup, and a "keep warm" option that ensures your water doesn't cool down- even if you forgot about it and left it too long.
I have an electric kettle, like this one on Amazon, and I use it every day to make tea. The quickness with which it heats the water makes my morning routine a breeze.
Now, there's one more thing we can talk about, a tea warmer.
What is a Tea Warmer?
During your shopping adventure, you may also come across something called a tea warmer. This is simply another handy tool you might want to have in your home if you are an avid tea or coffee drinker and like to sip throughout the day.
A tea warmer works directly with a teapot to keep it warm after you are done steeping or brewing. These warmers are small, circular devices that your teapot can sit on top of.
Tea warmers utilize candles to keep the teapot warm or they are electric and look like a wireless charger. Here is an example of each kind from Amazon.
They come in a variety of designs, from sleek and modern to classical and everything in between.
Now you know everything you need to know about the teapot vs tea kettle debate, but do you need to have both?
Do You Need Both a Teapot and a Tea Kettle?
Now that you know what a teapot and tea kettle can do, you might be asking yourself whether both are necessary. It comes down to personal preference.
Some people may find that utilizing both a teapot and tea kettle makes for a more pleasant experience. It might mean having extra appliances in your kitchen, but it could be worth it since they aren't very large and serve specific purposes.
You might consider having both in your arsenal if you are someone who enjoys entertaining. Having a teapot and tea kettle duo in your kitchen will ensure that the process is easy.
You can warm up your water in your tea kettle and steep in your teapot before serving, giving your guests the ultimate experience when it comes to comforting hot beverages.
However, it isn't necessary to acquire both. Personally, I have an electric tea kettle, because I like how fast it boils and how easy it is to use. And even though I know it would be nice, I don't use a teapot.
I usually get by with brewing individual cups of tea directly inside my mug. I do like using teapots, but for me, the speed and ease of using a tea kettle is the more important factor. That's my personal opinion, I think that a tea kettle is more important than a teapot.
However, you could also go for only a teapot, and just heat the water up inside a saucepan on the stove or even in a crock pot. You're still able to transfer this hot water to a teapot and get a really nice pot of tea/coffee.
Others may nix the teapot and tea kettle altogether and go for something basic if they aren't willing to spend the extra money on these items. By simply boiling water in a pan or pot and transferring the hot water to a mug, you can still have a delicious cup of joe or tea.
In Conclusion
A teapot is quite different from a tea kettle. The teapot is solely used for steeping tea leaves or coffee grounds, while a tea kettle is only used for boiling water on a stove or an electrical base.
Both can be used together to make delicious hot beverages in no time. You might also consider getting a tea warmer if you want to keep your teapot warm for longer periods of time Upgrades | eng | 4eb7b49d-886c-494a-ada3-ce66ec9f1eab | https://littleupgrades.com/teapot-tea-kettle-difference/ |

On the opposite end of the spectrum, there are several words and phrases that can be used to express sobriety in French:
Je suis sobre – This phrase is the most direct antonym for "Je suis saoul" and means "I am sober."
Je n'ai pas bu – This phrase means "I haven't been drinking" and can also be used to express sobriety.
Je suis à jeun – This phrase means "I am abstaining from alcohol" and can be used to express sobriety or a decision not to drink.
It's important to note that these phrases are not interchangeable with the synonyms for "Je suis saoul." They specifically express sobriety and should only be used in that context.
Mistakes To Avoid When Using The French Word For "I Am Drunk"
As a non-native speaker of French, it can be challenging to navigate the language's nuances, especially when it comes to expressing oneself in an informal setting. One of the most common phrases that foreign speakers tend to use is "I am drunk." However, this seemingly simple phrase can be fraught with errors that can cause confusion or even offense. In this section, we will discuss some of the most common mistakes made by non-native speakers when using the French word for "I am drunk" and provide tips on how to avoid them.
Common Mistakes
1. Using the wrong verb tense
One of the most frequent mistakes made by non-native speakers is using the wrong verb tense when saying "I am drunk" in French. The correct verb tense to use in this context is the present tense, which is "je suis ivre." However, many learners make the mistake of using the past tense "j'ai bu," which means "I drank." This can cause confusion because it implies that the person is no longer drunk.
2. Mispronouncing the word "ivre"
Another common error made by non-native speakers is mispronouncing the word "ivre," which means "drunk" in French. The correct pronunciation is "eev-ruh," with the stress on the second syllable. However, many learners mispronounce it as "eye-vur," which can cause confusion or make the speaker's French sound less authentic.
3. Using the wrong adjective
Another mistake that non-native speakers make is using the wrong adjective to describe their level of drunkenness. The correct adjective to use is "ivre," which means "drunk." However, some learners use the adjective "saoul," which means "intoxicated" or "plastered." While this adjective is technically correct, it is not commonly used in everyday conversation and can sound awkward or inappropriate.
Tips To Avoid Mistakes
1. Practice verb conjugation
To avoid using the wrong verb tense, it is essential to practice verb conjugation regularly. There are many online resources available that can help learners improve their French grammar skills, such as Duolingo, Babbel, and Rosetta Stone.
2. Listen to native speakers
To improve pronunciation, it is helpful to listen to native speakers and imitate their speech patterns. Watching French movies or listening to French music can be an excellent way to develop an ear for the language and improve pronunciation.
3. Use the correct vocabulary
To avoid using the wrong adjective, it is essential to learn the correct vocabulary for expressing different levels of drunkenness. For example, "je suis un peu ivre" means "I am a little drunk," while "je suis complètement ivre" means "I am completely drunk."
There is no doubt that learning to speak French fluently can be a challenging task, especially for non-native speakers. However, by avoiding common mistakes and practicing regularly, it is possible to improve one's language skills and communicate more effectively in informal settings. Remember to use the correct verb tense, pronunciation, and vocabulary when expressing your level of drunkenness in French, and you will be well on your way to mastering this tricky language!
Conclusion
In this blog post, we have explored the French translation for "I am drunk," which is "Je suis saoul(e)." We have discussed the importance of knowing how to express oneself in a foreign language, especially in social settings where alcohol is involved. We have also highlighted the significance of cultural awareness and etiquette when consuming alcohol in French-speaking countries.
Encouragement To Practice
Learning a new language can be challenging, but it can also be rewarding. As you continue to practice speaking French, don't be afraid to use the phrases you have learned in real-life conversations. Whether you're traveling to a French-speaking country or simply conversing with a French speaker, using these phrases can help you build connections and show respect for the language and culture.
Remember, language learning is a journey, and every step you take brings you closer to fluency. So keep practicing, keep learning, and don't forget to have fun | eng | 14a6b55e-e6ed-43be-b33b-edb9bb265c36 | https://transl8it.com/how-do-you-say-i-am-drunk-in-french/ |
Robert Emmet
Robert Emmet (1778-1803) was an Irish nationalist who led a revolt against the British government in 1803 to emancipate Ireland from the guardianship of the United Kingdom. His attempt to revolt failed, however, and Robert Emmet was executed shortly afterwards in the Kilmainham Gaol prison in Dublin. He is one of the best known Irish martyrs in Irish history.
Biography of Robert Emmet
Youth very quickly rocked by revolutionary values
Robert Emmet was born in 1778 near Clonakilty to a wealthy family. His father was a military man who gave him a very strict education under the sign of discipline. A good student, he studied at Trinity College, and then discovered the world of politics. He almost immediately became infatuated with the Anglo-Irish cause, and joined the very closed circle of the United Irishmens, an underground society of Irish patriots, deeply involved in the fight against the British.
His brother, Thomas Addis Emmet, was also part of this group, and tried with the others to foment a revolt, with the help of France. Of course, the British government never ceases to hunt down the members of this secret society, well aware of the threat it represents.
The year 1798 was a pivotal year for Emmet: he took an active part in the 1798 Rebellion and was finally forced to flee to France to escape from the British.
Refusing to submit to this failure, Robert Emmet finally took part in 1803 in an Irish delegation to meet Napoleon. The Irish had the secret hope that Napoleon would give them an army and enough weapons to be able to dominate the British for a future rebellion. Nevertheless, Napoleon refused, too busy with the ongoing Napoleonic wars.
Emmet organizes the Rebellion of 1803
Disappointed, Emmet returns to Ireland and organizes a revolt with the help of other revolutionaries. Emmet was primarily responsible for the supply of weapons, collecting rifles and ammunition from all over Dublin. The whole thing is of course conducted with the utmost discretion, in order to create a perfect surprise effect.
The uprising started on July 23rd 1803 in the streets of Dublin, and attempted to seize Dublin Castle. The revolt was however very badly organized, and turned into a general riot. The fighting was extremely violent, and Emmet quickly realized that his attack was doomed to failure, due to the inexperience of the belligerents. He therefore orders the end of the insurrection and tries to flee.
However, it was a lost cause: Robert Emmet was captured on August 25, 1803 while trying to join his companion Sarah Curran. He was then tried for treason on 19 September 1803 and sentenced to death. Before he died, he tried to send a farewell letter to his lover, but this letter was finally delivered to the authorities, who hastened to capture Sarah Curran and put her to death.
Robert Emmet was finally executed on 20 December in the Kilmainham Gaol prison in Dublin by hanging and beheading. The body was later buried in a secret location.
There is a short story about him, claiming that he was buried in the vault of a church in Dublin. A headless corpse was found there in the 1950s, but there is no evidence that it was Emmet… | eng | 73b7ec16-9cea-4dab-8c6a-188171d1e40b | https://www.guide-ireland.com/culture/robert-emmet/ |
When it comes to frontend frameworks, there are three popular choices: AngularJS, ReactJS, and Vue. Each framework has its strengths and weaknesses, and choosing the right one can make a big difference in your development process and final product. In this answer, we will compare AngularJS vs. ReactJS vs. Vue and help you decide which frontend framework to use.
AngularJS
AngularJS is a comprehensive framework for building large-scale, complex web applications. It was developed by Google and is designed to handle everything from rendering views to managing data.
Pros:
Comprehensive and powerful framework
Two-way data binding makes it easy to manage and update data
Built-in routing and testing support
Excellent documentation and community support
Cons:
The steep learning curve, especially for beginners
Large file sizes and complex architecture can slow down development time
Limited flexibility compared to other frameworks
ReactJS
ReactJS is a library for building user interfaces. It was developed by Facebook and is designed to be used as a lightweight view layer in web applications.
Pros:
A lightweight library that focuses on building UI components
Uses a virtual DOM for efficient rendering and updates
Large and active community with plenty of open-source libraries and resources
Excellent performance and scalability
Cons:
Not a complete framework, so developers need to use additional libraries for tasks like routing and state management
JSX syntax can be difficult to learn for some developers
Limited official documentation and support from Facebook
Vue
Vue is a modern user interface framework. It was developed by Evan You and is designed to be easy to use and flexible.
Pros:
Lightweight and flexible framework
Even for beginners, it is simple to learn and use.
Two-way data binding makes it easy to manage and update data
Excellent performance and scalability
Cons:
Smaller community compared to AngularJS and ReactJS
Limited official documentation and support from the Vue team
Limited enterprise adoption and support compared to AngularJS and ReactJS
So which framework should you use?
Choosing the right framework depends on several factors, including your project requirements, your team's skills and experience, and your personal preferences. A few pointers to consider::
Choose AngularJS if:
You need a comprehensive and powerful framework for building large-scale, complex web applications
Your team has experience with AngularJS and prefers its architecture and approach
You don't mind a steep learning curve and are willing to invest time in learning the framework
Choose ReactJS if:
You need a lightweight library for building UI components
Your team prefers a more flexible and modular approach to building web applications
Your project requires high performance and scalability
ReactJS is an excellent choice for frontend development due to its component-based architecture, virtual DOM, JSX syntax, high performance, active community, and excellent documentation and support. So, if you decide to hire react js developers for your front end, make sure you find the right one.
Choose Vue if:
You need a lightweight and flexible framework that is easy to learn and use
Your team prefers a more opinionated approach to building web applications
Your project requires good performance and scalability but does not require the comprehensive features of AngularJS
Conclusion
Angular is strong and time-tested, React is flexible and fast, and Vue is simple and performant, which is why Vue is superior to react. The framework or library required for your business is entirely determined by your needs and the goal of web applications. Bringing in a front-end development company and explaining what you want from the app in detail is the best way to go about it. The web and app development company is always striving to provide a better solution. | eng | 92d2ecb8-4b2b-45c5-af96-0c111efb9924 | https://kevinfrancis.livepositively.com/angularjs-vs-reactjs-vs-vue-which-frontend-framework-should-you-use/ |

The Future Is Anarchy
spartac - July 7, 2007 - 2:14am
The Future Is Anarchy
Capitalism causes and maintains the conflicts of history and the only way to resolve these conflicts is by ending capitalism. Capitalism can be ended through a non-violent social revolution that will replace the social relations. By deepening and expanding our thinking and knowledge we will find all the alternatives necessary for the transformation of society and the world.
The human condition is stuck because it is good for capitalism; people suffer because it is profitable for capitalism which is solely based on exploitation and deceit. As long as capitalism continues to exist, humanity will remain in misery and disease. As long as business operates and functions there is no hope for humanity and no genuine freedom.
There is no left or right, there is no capitalism or socialism, what there is it is either anarchy or capitalism and I am thinking heartedly recommend the former. Capitalism has no right of existence, not in the past and definitely not now. Humanity is capable of living much better than by killing or enslaving one another for the sake of organizational power and capitalist globalization.
What will happen in the future and whether capitalism will last, depends mainly on the amount of conscious anarchists that will be around in different regions. The level of social consciousness and the stage of the anarcho-subversive penetration and intervention will determine the speed at which capitalism will fall.
All the wars and national violence, all the poverty and hardship in the world are directly caused by the functioning of capitalism and its greed for more profit and domination. All the antagonism in history is orchestrated for the maintenance and preservation of hierarchical structures and rulers and ruled.
But there will come a time when capitalism will collapse and on its ruins a new social system will rise and flourish, a new world will be created, without classes, bosses and kings, without generals and tycoons, without states and labor. Anarchy will prevail everywhere and humanity for the first time in its agonizing short existence will discover real freedom and a different level of existence. That will terminate the condition of survival and it will be the start of a new form of anarchic life.
Where will the first anarcho-social revolution start at the 21st century?
America
Asia
Australia
Africa
World
Capitalism is the name for everything ugly and obscene, a name given for modern slavery and exploitation of the planet and humanity. Capitalism is the system of economy that destroys life and earth, a class system that is based on violence, mass poverty and coercive discrimination. This system must go and the sooner the better for our future, the capitalist system must be dismantled by a minimum force if necessary before it dismantle us and all what's around us.
The capitalist system will fall, with all its anti-human values and bourgeois social relations, when people will start rejecting these values and the accompanied alienated social relations. Capitalism will be destroyed when the people start disobeying the rules of class indoctrination and liberate the lower classes from the upper class. The state goes with its classes, once capitalism is terminated anarchy and equality will prevail as to allow humanity for the first time in its evolution to live in dignity and total freedom without a fear of counter-revolution by the reactionaries.
Our life does not have to be like this and society does not have to look like this, our lives and society as whole are only a reflection and a reaction to what capitalism has caused and imposed coercively upon us and upon planet earth and the rest of humanity. So the time has come to stop and terminate this historical mayhem through an anarchic social revolution that is based on an advanced conscious and on the emancipated self.
It is hard for you to imagine how life would be on this planet without capitalism and all its accessories, because you have known nothing else, they told you that capitalism is the only natural process, it is the only way to motivate the people to work for their masters. They say it is the laws of the jungle that make capitalism natural, but it is natural to whom? Is it natural for a person to exploit another person and for generations, so his master can live and get ever richer on his back? The answer is of course that there is nothing whatsoever natural about capitalism. Capitalism is the creation of the masters so they can enslave the rest of us. It is designed to keep you down and oppressed, so they can control you better, it is made by the master for his slave, by the employer for the employed.
Let's break the chains and set ourselves free, let's finish capitalism and start something else much better and utterly humane. There is only one way out of capitalism - a highly advanced anarchic conscious. | eng | 74844a6d-322b-4d6b-b8a2-3c35a2c42cdc | http://interactivist.autonomedia.org/node/5620 |
