Incredibly, 42 percent of respondents in a Josh Bersin Co. survey rated their HR technology implementations as either failed or not fully successful two years after onboarding. This highlights how crucial it is for HR leaders to focus on identifying the right technology products and adopting them effectively rather than rushing to deployment.
However, it's also vital that your teams be able to derive key insights from the wealth of HR data the tech will make accessible. Those insights can be hugely valuable in formulating an actionable, people-driven business strategy.
What is HR data literacy?
Data literacy skills not only unlock the true value of your people data but also build the credibility of your HR team. When HR professionals can back their claims up with incontrovertible data, it makes it easier to achieve buy-in for your people programs—and secure an appropriate budget.
Gartner has found that the top three hurdles for HR technology leaders are ensuring ongoing adoption of HR technology (57 percent) among key stakeholders, justifying HR technology investments (46 percent), and developing and maintaining a strategic roadmap | eng | 2c11cb88-9163-4328-aa72-0273430e652a | https://hrtechfeed.com/why-hr-data-literacy-skills-drive-better-decision-making/ |

Bottled Water, Simply A No-No
Even the best people at airplane trivia might not know why bottled water is such a no-no in security lines. You can't take a bottle of water through security because it causes both safety and time issues. While TSA security scanners are advanced, they have trouble telling a full bottle of water apart from a bottle of chemicals. TSA allows liquids in small doses, but they have to go through separate from your carry-on luggage. | eng | de53344d-9899-49df-ad5b-fdc1afe873cb | https://pilotinstrumentscollection.com/bottled-water-simply-a-no-no/ |

Social distancing is common within seabird colonies such as those of northern gannets. It allows pairs to raise their young without interference from nosy neighbors. Photo by Bryan Watts.
By Bryan Watts 3/31/2020
One of many things that the Covid-19 pandemic will be
remembered for is the introduction of the term "social distancing" to the
global lexicon. The term is being used to describe a collective behavior
designed to maintain distances between individuals that are beyond the expected
range of the normal person-to-person virus transmission. Distancing is
one of several strategies being employed to dampen the rate of contagion, blunt
the peak of active cases and hopefully reduce the overall number of people that
will contract the disease. As a highly social species, the concept of
behavioral spacing is foreign to most people and the term is unfamiliar.
For bird behaviorists, the term social distance and its variants (territoriality,
individual space, social spacing) are familiar and have been in use for over a
century. Social distancing was initially used to describe the common
observation that birds often exhibit a uniform distribution with incredibly
even distances between individuals.

Although the underlying benefits of spacing to birds and the
mechanisms that maintain spacing are not always apparent to the observer, the
spacing itself can often be visually stunning. Swallows perched on
telephone lines exhibit amazingly precise and consistent spacing. Seabird nests
are often uniformly spaced within breeding colonies. A flock of starlings
foraging across a lawn appear to march in formation with all individuals,
maintaining their personal distances. Grasshopper sparrow nesting territories
are evenly spaced across a grassland. We see examples of spacing in birds
all around us.
Western sandpipers spread out across a mudflat in Panama. This spacing reduces interference from other birds while foraging for invertebrates. The spacing is maintained by regular aggressive interactions. Video by Bryan Watts.
Why is social distancing so common in birds and how is it
maintained? One of the most common forces shaping social distancing is
the availability of resources. Spacing ensures that consumer density is
matched to available resources. Although not all birds defend
territories, those that do defend patches of resources that are critical to the
survival of themselves or their young. Territory spacing is maintained by
individuals aggressively defending resources. Whether a foraging
territory during the winter or a nesting territory during the breeding season,
defending space from interlopers results in the social distancing that we
observe from afar.
An example of three-dimensional social distancing within a cormorant colony. Nests are spaced along individual limbs and are also staggered between upper and lower limbs. Such spacing is forced by aggressive interactions. Photo by Bryan Watts.
Another common force that shapes social distance is the need
to reduce interference of an important activity. Most seabirds and other
bird groups that nest in dense colonies place nests equidistant from one
another. For some species, inter-nest distances may be consistent
throughout the colony down to a fraction of an inch – everyone in their cubicle
like a New York apartment building. Such distancing allows the birds to
raise their young without intrusion from neighbors. The incredibly
precise inter-nest distances are set by how far birds can lean over and peck
their neighbors (if you get pecked by your neighbor, you are building your nest
too close). The same mechanism maintains order and discipline within
foraging flocks. The benefit of maintaining distance between flock
members is to reduce the interference of one member on the foraging rate of
another. Shorebird flocks spread out evenly over a mudflat because if
every bird moved randomly over the surface it would disturb prey and reduce the
foraging rate for all of them.
Great blue herons defend foraging territories from other herons. From above birds appear to be evenly spaced along the shoreline of creeks and rivers. Photo by Bryan Watts.
While there is no question that many diseases are spread
through bird populations via bird-to-bird contact and that distance between
individuals influences the likelihood of an individual being infected, it is
not clear at all that disease has been a driving force for the evolution of
social distancing in birds. This is not to say that it may not be a
factor in some species and in some circumstances as has been shown in the
transmission of certain parasites. Much work remains to be done on the
role that disease has played in the evolution of bird spatial behavior | eng | aaf2dfdc-8d1d-45ec-8d23-d4b00c16f019 | https://ccbbirds.org/2020/04/01/social-distancing-in-birds/ |

13 Small Changes You Can Make Today To Boost Long-Term Productivity
What is one small change in people's routines that can help them boost their productivity and happiness in the long run?
These answers are provided by Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC),1. Start Journaling
Make a habit out of journaling every evening. What you write, you learn. By recapping your thoughts, emotions, successes and failures, you're opening your mind to ways you can improve in both your personal and professional life. Journaling helps focus the mind on what's important, in the office and at home. True productivity is not about efficiency, but rather about prioritizing what matters. – Josh Awad, Depression Alliance
2. Create a List of Goals Every Day
Creating a list of your daily goals can help you in several ways. It can help you order your day more effectively because all of your tasks are laid out in front of you. It can help you enjoy the feeling of accomplishing minor challenges. Finally, it serves as a record of what you've done for the day, month and year. You can use that to measure your productivity and how your work has changed. – Matt Doyle, Excel Builders
3. Set Strict Time Blocks for Social and Email
Social media, YouTube, Slack and email are huge time sucks, whether it's on your phone, tablet or computer. I create strict rules on when I have access to social media or email. This helps me stay focused. When I'm tempted to break, I remind myself, I can just wait and later on, I can look at the social media. – Jason Khoo, Zupo
4. Avoid Being Reactionary
Do not allow yourself to be reactionary until later in the day. This means, no social media or email until you are taken care of. When you read a story in the news, you have an emotional reaction. When you read an email, you have to react (by responding). Save that for later. Instead, focus the early part of your day on taking action toward what you need to accomplish. – Rana Gujral, Behavioral Signals
5. Focus on Others
I often find myself thinking only about my responsibilities from the moment I wake up until I go to bed. However, I've found that when I focus on others' needs around me, my day is increasingly happy and productive. Looking for opportunities to serve or brighten someone's day allows me to remember and appreciate the important things in life. Go serve a family member, coworker or stranger. – Colton Gardner, Neighbor
6. Go to Bed Early
If you don't get enough sleep, it'll affect every area of your day, especially your work. You'll feel fatigued, cloudy and possibly irritable if you don't dedicate enough time to rest. Make sure you set a new routine with an earlier bedtime to ensure you boost productivity and happiness. – Stephanie Wells, Formidable Forms
7. Set Intentions
If you wake up in the morning and don't set intentions, you're more likely to feel disoriented about the upcoming day. You want to make sure you know what's in store so you're prepared for what's ahead. Make sure you set intentions for everything you want to accomplish during the day and watch how it affects your productivity. – Jared Atchison, WPForms
8. Write Down Your 'Success List'
What helped me manage all five of my businesses and still stay fit and able to travel around the world on a month-to-month basis was simply writing down my day-to-day success list. I called it a "success list" instead of a to-do list to elevate my mindset. For every task I accomplish, I feel more rewarded and successful, which then boosts my productivity. Make every hour count in your day! – Fritz Colcol, ABN Circle
9. Sit Up Straight and Smile
Being mindful of your facial expressions and posture will work wonders for your daily productivity, happiness and ultimately, health. The simple act of sitting up straight and smiling releases dopamine and serotonin (positive hormones) throughout your brain. Make this a habit by setting reminders. Over time, you'll notice a lift in your mood that will help you produce your best work. – Karlo Tanjuakio, GoLeanSixSigma.com
10. Take Many Short Breaks
While it may seem productive to work for four straight hours, working in four one-hour periods with short breaks in between is a much better strategy. This prevents mental burnout and can keep your energy levels consistent throughout the day. I recommend looking into something like the Pomodoro method for more research. – Bryce Welker, Accounting Institute of Success
11. Hold Walking Meetings
A simple way to make your days more productive is by booking walking meetings. You'll get a nice amount of steps in, an increase in your general health and well-being. Also, walking often makes you think better, so you'll likely make better decisions. Besides, you can do this face-to-face or on the phone. – Aaron Selkrig, Selkrig Performance Unit
12. Always Be Networking
Talk to a new person every day for a week. I think we get so caught in the same cycle it can be easy to not engage with different people. You never know what story and experience the person on the bus or in life to get coffee behind you might be able to share. You think you know what your day is going to be like until you meet new people and expand your horizons. – Jared Weitz, United Capital Source Inc.
13. Exercise More
Sometimes I get busy and say, "I'll go to the gym tomorrow," only to realize that I haven't been to the gym in months. When I start going to the gym for a little bit of cardio and weight training for an hour a day, three days a week, I feel so much better. Words can't describe the energy, productivity and happiness I feel once I get my body back in the rhythm of exercising. – John Turner, SeedProd LLC

Last year Houston was devastated by Hurricane Harvey, with flooding covering streets, bayous and communities throughout Houston after the storm deposited about three feet of rain. One of the many parts of the city affected by the storm was the colony of Free-tailed bats living under the Waugh Bridge. We have been making observations of the colony and monitoring bat activity, and some behavioral changes have been noticed.
Before the flood, there was an estimated quarter of a million bats living under the Waugh bridge, making it one of the larger Mexican Free-tailed colonies in the state. During the flood, bats flew to nearby buildings for shelter, such as the Bank of America building, and could also be seen flying out during the day to escape the high waters. There were also reports of large numbers of bat carcasses seen floating in the water. After the waters receded, more bat remains were found stuck to the sidewalk under the bridge. Hopefully we will be able to get an idea of the colony size in the near future, as the bats returned to the bridge after the water level had gone down.
There are two noticeable changes in behavior that have been observed since Hurricane Harvey. The bats are now flying out in smaller groups or as individuals rather than a single or several large swarms. Recently there have been gaps between the larger groups as they emerge, ranging between a few seconds to several minutes. This has had the added effect of altering the amount of time that it takes for the bats to emerge, ranging from a few minutes to nearly an hour. The second major change in behavior has been the time of day when the colony begins to fly out. Before the flood the bats would usually fly out around dusk, yet even approximately five months after Harvey most of the colony exits the bridge after dark.
We are continuing to monitor the Waugh bridge colony to see if there are any other changes. It is possible that the reduction in population size is simply being driven by the bats annual migration to warmer climates for the winter. This is currently being tested by examining their DNA to determine which subspecies (or hybrid) of Free-tailed bat is present, as one subspecies migrates during winter and the other does not.
The bats are a beautiful part of our urban ecosystem, and we encourage the public to visit the colony to watch the spectacular emergence!The blog about the stray woodpecker in a cemetery was such a smash hit, that the clever folks in our PR dept. proposed taking it to the next level. My mind raced with possible sites to visit that would fall under the general theme of 'Cool birds in strange places', but invariably the best group | eng | 10fed550-d83e-4f0e-896c-eb29bd6c0b5a | https://blog.hmns.org/2018/02/update-on-waugh-bridge-bat-colony-hit-by-hurricane-harvey-associated-flooding/ |
Unveiling the Impact of BNWO: A New Paradigm in Modern Society
New acronyms and movements develop often in today's scene, affecting how we view and interact with the world as a result of rapid technological advancement and ever-evolving cultural upheavals. Recent years have seen a rise in interest in BNWO, an acronym for "Black New World Order." The purpose of this investigation is to provide a thorough understanding of BNWO's function in contemporary society by delving deeply into its history, ramifications, and controversies.
The Genesis of BNWO
To understand BNWO and its significance, it is necessary to trace its roots, which lie in the fight for racial equality and the uplift of the Black people. The mission of BNWO is to create a more equitable and inclusive society by addressing structural racism, advancing economic justice, and redefining cultural norms.
Historical Context
In the United States, where racial injustice and inequality have persisted for generations, the idea for BNWO emerged out of a desire for social change. BNWO draws inspiration from the civil rights movements of the middle of the 20th century, specifically the Black Panther Party and the work of Malcolm X. It is important to note, however, that BNWO aims to carry on this struggle in the present day by using cutting-edge tactics to address long-standing problems.
Ideology and Goals
BNWO is an ideology and set of aims that seeks to improve the lives of people of African descent and make the world a more just place for all races.
Economic Empowerment
For BNWO, closing the wealth gap that disproportionately affects African-Americans is a top priority. This objective is achieved in a number of ways, such as through encouraging Black company ownership, supporting financial education programs, and expanding credit availability to Black-owned enterprises. BNWO's mission is to lessen economic and wealth inequality via the promotion of economic empowerment.
Educational Reform
Educating future generations is key to BNWO's long-term goals. The movement demands comprehensive changes to the educational system to ensure that Black children have access to equal opportunities and to create curricula that reflect the rich diversity of the world's cultures and history. The goal of this strategy is to provide today's youth with the tools they'll need to end generations of discrimination.
Political Representation
The goal of BNWO is to see more Black people elected to public office at all levels of government. The goal of this drive for more political power is to ensure that the needs and ambitions of underrepresented groups are taken into account when shaping public policy.
Cultural Awareness
Educating people about the need of preserving cultural traditions is central to BNWO's work. A deeper respect for Black culture and its contributions to society is one of the goals of this movement, which honors Black history, art, and traditions. BNWO's goal is to foster harmony and mutual appreciation among all peoples by recognizing and celebrating cultural differences.
Controversies Surrounding BNWO
Despite the good intentions behind BNWO's goals, the movement has been met with its fair share of criticism and disagreement.
Misinterpretation
Misunderstanding BNWO's message is a frequent source of conflict. It has been accused by its detractors of creating anti-white animosity and promoting segregation. Misconceptions like this have fueled hostility and distrust to the cause.
Effectiveness
The extent to which BNWO can actually affect change is still hotly contested. While some doubt the movement can reach its lofty aims, others stress the significance of ongoing lobbying and activism in bringing about the necessary change.
The Role of Social Media
Today's social media sites have been essential in spreading the word about BNWO and rallying its followers. Internet campaigns, viral videos, and hashtags have all helped spread the word and get people talking about issues of race and social justice.
The Future of BNWO
The effects of BNWO on society are still up in the air as the technology develops further. Its significance in the fight for racial equality, however, cannot be denied. Its future direction and impact on society will be determined by its capacity to respond to novel situations, attract a wide range of supporters, and resonate with people around the world.
Conclusion
BNWO or "Black New World Order," is an acronym for "Black New World Order," aiming to create a more equitable and inclusive society by addressing structural racism, advancing economic justice, and redefining cultural norms. Taking cues from the Black Panther Party and other civil rights leaders like Malcolm X. The goal of BNWO is to use fresh perspectives on old problems. One of its aims is to help people financially. Changes in the classroom. Representation in government. …and an understanding of other cultures. Despite its good intentions, BNWO faces criticism for its misinterpretation and effectiveness. Social media has played a crucial role in spreading the word about BNWO.
FAQs
Q: Is BNWO a political movement?
Despite the fact that BNWO has a political dimension. It's a cultural and social movement that seeks to end racial discrimination.
Q: How can I get involved with BNWO?
You may help BNWO by getting involved in local efforts, supporting racial equality, and advocating for the organization's core values.
Q: Does BNWO advocate for the exclusion of other races?
The goal of BNWO is not to incite bigotry or discrimination of any kind. Instead, it seeks to eradicate racism in its institutional forms.
Q: What impact has BNWO had so far?
Despite this, BNWO has sparked important discussions on racial inequality. As the movement gains momentum, its full impact is just beginning to be felt.
Q: Is BNWO a global movement or primarily focused on the United States?

5 Characteristics of Healthy Relationships
5 Characteristics of Healthy Relationships
Types
Interpersonal relationships are those between two or more people. These relationships may be based on love, solidarity, business relationships, or any other social commitment. They develop under the influence of social and cultural influences, and are the basis of social structure. This article discusses various types of relationships and the differences between them. To understand how to build relationships in your business, it helps to understand what makes them work. Read on to learn more. Describe the difference between interpersonal relationships and other types of relationships.
Characteristics
Characteristics of relationships can be a useful tool for establishing and maintaining a successful relationship. Relationships with good communication and healthy physical and emotional connection are key to lasting success. Couples who share the household duties also reduce the chances of harboring bad feelings and build a sense of teamwork. Similarly, couples who are sexually intimate are more likely to feel close to each other and care for each other. When creating a relationship with a partner, you should discuss what this means.
Components
There are three components to a healthy relationship. One is intimacy. Intimacy involves sharing intimate details and emotions with someone you care about. Another is passion. Passion is what drives you to express your emotions. The third component is commitment. You can find these in any relationship, regardless of its stage in life. Intimacy is the first component in a healthy relationship, but the other two are the most crucial for the development of the entire relationship.
Symptoms
Signs of a relationship with a toxic partner are many. One person will make all of the decisions in the relationship, is controlling, jealous, and uses unwelcome behavior to upset the other. They may constantly text or talk about the other person, make inappropriate comments about their appearance, or even make physical advances without their consent. One partner will use intimidation and physical force to get what they want. It can be exhausting to deal with the stress that goes along with a toxic relationship.
Healthy
A healthy relationship is one where both partners are open and honest with one another. Healthy relationships also allow room for individuality, allowing both parties to make decisions and have space for outside activities and interests. These relationships take time to build, but they can be learned and practiced. If you're in a relationship that is on the verge of breaking up, follow these tips to maintain a healthy one. Listed below are 5 characteristics of healthy relationships.
Unhealthy
When a relationship becomes toxic, one person begins to pressure the other into sexual activity without consent, or vice versa. If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to take action. You can check out our quiz and definition of a healthy relationship to determine whether your relationship is unhealthy. You can also read up on healthy relationships and resources to help you develop and maintain them. Unhealthy relationships can also result in abusive or controlling behaviors. | eng | e8587815-562e-4d1e-b9bf-53c71069dd2f | https://oranichglobal.com/5-characteristics-of-healthy-relationships/ |

What does by the skin of ones teeth mean?
Just barely, very narrowly, as in Doug passed the exam by the skin of his teeth. A related term appears in the Bible (Job 19:20), where Job says, "I am escaped with the skin of my teeth," presumably meaning he got away with nothing at all.
Can't make it on time meaning?
Both these phrases can mean at the specified time (e.g. The train arrived on time -- punctually). But in time often means early enough. | eng | 39140f88-6ebf-438d-b4ef-958e1db0838a | https://beer-info.com/what-does-by-the-skin-of-ones-teeth-mean |
The Baptism Page
January 5, 2023
"Go forth and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit….and remember I am with you always." – Matthew 28:19-20
Baptism is…..welcoming into the community of faith & the Body of Christ.
Baptism is…..belonging to God as "Christ's own forever."
Baptism is….washing of our sins and renewing our life in faith.
Baptism is…..a holy sacrament, an outward sign of God's inward grace.
Baptism is…..a gift of God's grace through the Holy Spirit.
The Setting for Sunday
We have just celebrated the birth of Christ and will experience his death and resurrection on Easter. However, one key event we should put in the same category is Jesus' baptism. We have various weeks set aside for baptisms – first Sunday after Epiphany (Baptism of Jesus), Easter, Pentecost,Feast of the Transfiguration (Sunday nearest Aug. 6), All Saints Sunday, whenever the Bishop visits) . Whether we have a baptism or now, we usually include the section in the prayer book for the renewal of the Baptismal Covenant in the service. In the past we have also "sprinkled" people.
Baptism in the Episcopal Church
From the Episcopal Library "This is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ's Body, the church. God establishes an indissoluble bond with each person in baptism. God adopts us, making us members of the church and inheritors of the Kingdom of God (BCP, pp. 298, 858). In baptism we are made sharers in the new life of the Holy Spirit and the forgiveness of sins. Baptism is the foundation for all future church participation and ministry."
From the Diocese of New York
We owe much to the Apostle Paul who, through his writings, left a record of how the early Christian community understood Baptism.
Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him by Baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life (Romans 6:3-4).
Baptism was, for the early Christian community, a sacramental action to convey that one was experiencing spiritual conversion and renewal–the end of one life and the beginning of another in Christ. By using the metaphorical language and imagery of death, burial, and resurrection, the early community ceremonially expressed, that in Baptism, we die to our destructive and distorted ways of being, relating, and acting, and that by the goodness and faithfulness of God, we are raised from death to a new life, guided by and filled with the Spirit of God. It was an outward and visible sign of the spiritual transformation God was doing in one's life. It was a symbolic action performed to depict what was happening within the life of one on a spiritual journey towards communion with God, the people of God, and all God's creation.
Although the metaphor of being raised from death to new life is the dominant image of Christian Baptism in the New Testament, no single image or metaphor can exhaust the rich meaning of one's conversion and experience of spiritual renewal. Consequently, there developed other images and metaphors in Scripture that express how the early Chrisitan community spoke of their conversion of life and experience of renewal in the Holy Spirit. Among them are:
This is a mini catechism used at baptisms and on Easter and other special occasions, the Baptismal Covenant opens with a question-and-answer version of the statement of faith that is the Apostles' Creed and adds questions regarding how we, as Christians, are called to live out our faith.
Our Baptismal Covenant as Lived in our Context (from the Diocese of San Diego)
1. Worship and Formation
"Will you continue in the Apostles' teaching and fellowship, the breaking of the bread, and in the prayers? "
"I will, with God's help. "
We are daring and fearless followers of Jesus, empowered by dynamic and transformative worship and spiritual formation practices and programs.
2. Repentance and Reconciliation
"Will you resist evil, and whenever you fall into sin, repent and return to the Lord? "
"I will, with God's help. "
We value repentance and reconciliation, acknowledging when we have turned away from God and one another, seeking wholeness and healing by turning back to God and one another. In this we seek to be a welcome and open community for all. If you have turned away from God, if you have tried to follow Jesus and have failed, or are trying for the first time, you are welcome here.

"Baptism of Christ" – Joachim Patinir (c1515-1526)
I want to start with a question: how often do you think about your baptism? …
I'm asking you to think about all this, of course, because this Sunday, the first Sunday after the Epiphany, is the day on which we remember Jesus' own baptism. And both the text from Mark and the day itself offer an opportunity to think more deeply, and claim more fully, the promises God made to us at our own baptism.
More importantly, however, I'm asking you to think about all this because I believe there is perhaps no more important event in our lives than our baptism. Let me explain.
Dr. Heather Murray Elkins poignantly shares about the mystery and meaning of Christian baptism in this Youtube video. Part of the "Living the Questions" series. An amazing experience! She is Professor of Worship, Preaching, and the Arts at Drew Theological School and an ordained elder in the Methodist church.
The 'Whys' of Baptism – 3 questions
"The Baptism of Christ" – Daniel Bonnell
From Lawrence in "Disclosing New Worlds"
1. Why did Jesus get baptized in the wilderness and not the temple?
Mark uses geography as a narrative device to set up the opposition between Jesus (and what God is doing in Jesus) and the Temple (and what the religious authorities expect God to be doing). The wilderness has immediate echoes of the Exodus story. It is a hostile place. It is a place of suffering and death. It is the place where wild animals live and which hostile spirits were believed to inhabit. Yet it is also the place to meet God – in burning bushes and on a mountain. It is the place where Israel came to know Yahweh and received the Law. It is the place of refuge for Elijah when his life is in danger. It is the place where the persecuted faithful gather to await deliverance (like the Qumran community). It is the place where Yahweh's voice is to be heard – the place of prophets.
It has political significance, too. It is the place to which political refugees fled for safety, and also the place, in Jesus' time, where would-be revolutionaries gathered to train and plot treason – a gathering place for freedom fighters, terrorists and wanna-be messiahs. In Roman terms, it was a place of resistance and opposition – just as it had been in Ahab's day, when Elijah and the other prophets gathered there because of their opposition to Ahab's regime.
In other words, locating Jesus in the wilderness emphasizes what Mark has said in his opening verse: the message and ministry of Jesus is a resistance movement. Jesus is God's one-person invasion force, because he exemplifies and personifies the Kingdom of God. It is this Kingdom that will stand forever, not Rome's. He alone is the true Son of God, worthy of worship – not Caesar (remember: Mark has a Roman centurion declare that Jesus is the Son of God at the crucifixion). And, over against the Jewish religious authorities, the Kingdom of God that Jesus brings is not the kingdom they expect. It is not for Israel alone, but for the whole world. It is not a 'holiness movement', but a movement of grace that embraces the unholy. It is not for the rich and powerful but for the poor and marginalised. It is not a reinforcement or re-establishment of the Temple tradition: Jesus will pronounce judgment on the Temple and prophesy its destruction (Mark 13), but a return to the God of the Exodus and the God of the prophets – a return to the wilderness.
2. Why was Jesus baptized at all ?
In stripped back prose, Mark announces that Jesus was baptized by John in the Jordan. Just like everyone else who was there that day. The question is, why was Jesus baptized? It is clear that the baptism inaugurates his mission. It is equally clear that Jesus has no need of repentance (in the sense of being a sinner) – a fact that Matthew feels compelled to clarify when faced with Mark's narrative (see Matthew 3: 13-15).
Baptism is a beautiful welcoming moment in which the full potential of LOVE is glimpsed. All that hope all that potential, I can't help but well up with joy at the very possibility that all the challenges that Jesus lived his life to teach us about, all the challenges to the way we are, come to us in the waters of baptism. In the waters of baptism we see beyond the drops of water to the very stuff that nourishes, grounds and sustains us in this life, and we also see the possibilities of what life might become if we love one another. When the waters of baptism touch the head of a child, they are anointed with possibility, the possibility of love, the possibility of peace, the possibility of joy, and yes the possibility of pain. And all that possibility comes to them in the context of a community that is both renewed by such beautiful potential and refreshed by the challenges of living into that baptism. For the Body into which we are born in the waters of baptism is the is the body of Christ, an incomplete body of imperfect people who are doing their best to follow a path toward a world in which everyone is loved; everyone has enough, and everyone can live in peace.
Just as the gospel-story-tellers crafted stories about Jesus baptism which enabled their people to recognize the sacred in Jesus, we too must craft our stories about baptism in ways that enable us to recognize the sacred in one another and I do mean the other. It is easy to see the sacred in a baby or in a loved one, but how do we see the sacred in the other? How do we see the sacred in the enemy, or on this day of all days, how do we recognize the sacred in the terrorist? How must the way we tell our stories change so that everyone can recognize the sacred? What epiphanies await us? What do we need to do to facilitate epiphanies?
So where was Jesus baptized ?
When we think of sites associated with the life of Jesus, we think of Bethlehem and Jerusalem. A third site, the site of Jesus baptism, has only assumed importance in the last two decades.
A former military area covered with mines is the site of the baptism of Jesus – "Bethany beyond the Jordan" and was not discovered until 1897 when a scholar Jerusalem traveled to Madaba and accidentally uncovered mosaic map that had been covered by plaster. The area had been known as Bethabara since the 4th century, actually by mistake since that site was at the crossing of the Jordan by Joshua. A 6th Century monastery was present at the site of the baptism (Saphsaphas) across the river and was documented by visitors since that time. It was the site of John the Baptist's cave. Ancient Pilgrim accounts helped lead explorers to area in 1899. It is east of the Jordan River actually in Jordan today.
Two world wars and internal conflicts in 1948, 1967 and 1973 prevented the uncovering and full exploration of the site. Today, it is preserved as holy site by the Jordanian government.
This Sunday's text is regularly called "Jesus' Baptism". Grrrrr. By using this name we show disrespect for our Jewish mother and we lessen the power and understanding of Christian baptism.
Yes, we have the story of Jesus going down into the Jordan River this Sunday – because it is one of the three traditional accounts of The Feast of The Epiphany (radiance becoming manifest).
But for gosh sake – this is not a text of Christian baptism. Jesus is submitting to the Jewish rite of a mikvah bath. Yes in the first century, Judaism was using Greek terms to describe its own rituals. In the Greek of that century – a mikvah bath was called baptism. Two hundred years later, Judaism reverted back to its original name – mikvah bath – because baptism had come to be a name generally associated with the Christian ritual.
Words and names matter. Please help people understand that there is Jewish "baptism" that is now called a mikvah bath and there is Christian "baptism." Each is quite distinct from the other.
However, there are two elements from this Mikvah Bath in the Jordan that Christianity brought into its own ritual of baptism.
Remember that the Jordan River – for the Jews of this time – is considered to be the place of the demonic – the place of one's deep anxieties. Going down into the Jordan, was a visceral aspect of living through one's most raw wounds for the sake of renewed life.
For this reason, Christianity chose running water (which is treacherous, potentially demonic water) to be the primary element of Christian baptism. The water here was not about cleansing, but rather this flowing water held a death-like experience.
Secondly, in the midst of a death-like experience – may each Christian entering such water – hear also Spirit's voice that says, "You are my Beloved, in whom I am well pleased."
In hearing this account of Jesus going into the flowing water of the Jordan to receive a Jewish mikvah bath – let us remember that Radiance Increases within us in equal measure to our willingness to live through our deepest anxieties – knowing that each of us is already 'beloved' and in which Spirit is well pleased.
PLEASE please let us respect our Jewish sisters and brothers by using the proper name for their ritual – a Mikvah Bath – and not using this Sunday to perform Christian baptism. This text is not a text of Christian baptism. Jesus is not receiving Christian baptism. The fullness and meaning of Christian baptism is an Easter story, not The Epiphany story.
Baptism in the movies
There are many films that use baptism and others that relate baptism themes:
1. Godfather (1972) Michael Rizzi's baptism service is interspersed with the assassination of the heads of the five families. Michael Corleone stands as the child's literal Godfather while simultaneously becoming the "Godfather" in the Cosa Nostra sense. An amazing sequence of images.
2. Paper Chase (1973) The whole movie shows the "baptism under fire" potential law students go through to become one of the "community." As with early Christians who had a lot of work to do before being accepted, these students struggle with the new way of life and expectations at law school. The end of the movie suggests that some people find that going through such a baptism is a learning experience, but they don't want to join the community because they see problems with it-or other things in life more valuable.
3. Forrest Gump (1987) In the opening sequence, the first thing we see is a feather dislodging from a dove flying overhead. The feather wafts along, almost alighting on several "acceptable" people, finally settling on Forrest, sitting on the bench, waiting for the bus. Mark 1:10, from this week's Gospel: "…he saw…the Spirit descending like a dove on him." | eng | b17fead4-7493-4aaa-8e59-737d3b904bff | https://news.churchsp.org/2023/01/05/the-baptism-page/ |

Secrets of a Celebrity Nanny: Is the Lifetime Movie Inspired by a True Story?
Lifetime's 'Secrets of a Celebrity Nanny' unfolds the story of Gabby, who secures a job as a nanny for the daughter of an international superstar, Justice Grace, famously known as J-Gray. Justice Grace's world is far from easy, marked by the challenges of dealing with dangerous stalkers, a driven manager, and a jealous ex-husband. Her boyfriend is a British rock star, and her vigilant bodyguard takes extraordinary measures to ensure her safety. As Gabby immerses herself in this celebrity world, she soon discovers that it's not all glitz and glamor; it's a perilous environment where the previous nanny was murdered, and Gabby herself may become the next target of a killer.
Directed by Dylan Vox, this thriller delves into themes of fear, first impressions, and the notion that what appears to be a perfect world from a distance may have hidden layers. Monroe Cline takes on the role of Gabby, while Yolanthe Cabau portrays the enigmatic and elusive Justice Grace. The film also features important contributions from Matthew Blade, Brittany Mcvicker, and Dominic Pace. While the life of nannies comes with its own set of challenges, it's not uncommon for stories like this to draw inspiration from real-life events. If you are wondering the same, you need not look further as we have the answer to the question. Let's start!
Is Secrets of a Celebrity Nanny Based on True Story?
No, the film isn't based on a true story. The writers, Richard Clark, Jeremy M. Inman, and Jason-Shane Scott, crafted the narrative from the ground up, drawing inspiration from real-world elements to construct their fictional universe. The role of a nanny to a celebrity's child is appealing to many, as it offers the promise of good income and access to the world of fame and someone renowned. Therefore, the character of Gabby is relatable to ordinary people seeking a better future, heightening the sense of impending troubles that could befall her.
The world and lives of celebrities often remain enigmatic, despite their high visibility, which enhances the allure that a well-kept murder secret may be concealed within that world. The inclusion of individuals surrounding Justice Grace, such as protective bodyguards and equally famous boyfriends contributes to the film's realism and the sense that it portrays a world that is both captivating and secretive.
All the actors, with a special mention of Monroe Cline, have delivered remarkable performances in their roles. Monroe Cline particularly excels in portraying a woman who is thrust into the world of celebrity culture, with her character displaying a blend of amazement, infatuation, and horror. Yolanthe Cabau has skillfully depicted her character, exuding a certain charm that convincingly conveys the aura associated with a global icon. These outstanding performances contribute significantly to the film's authenticity.
The film's captivating drama draws viewers in from the very first scene, making it an engaging experience. While the movie is rooted in reality, it is intriguing to observe how fictional elements are woven into the story, crafting a world that holds the audience's attention with its mysterious and suspenseful events. This film serves as a good example of fiction writing and the instruments used to make it believable, which is what makes it a great watch. | eng | fa6b748c-b06b-48ba-80ad-4f5145835a02 | https://thecinemaholic.com/secrets-of-a-celebrity-nanny-true-story/ |

Chromecast Poor Video Quality: 11 Solutions
Picture this: you're all set up to cast House of The Dragon on HBO Max to your TV. Alas, instead of the immersive 4K viewing experience you were anticipating, you see a poor-quality video on your screen!
Chromecast is an excellent way to stream your favorite shows on your TV without the cluster of video cables. However, it is not without its challenges.
Why Is My Chromecast Blurry Sometimes?
Sometimes, while streaming a video, you'll notice that the video quality displayed on the screen from your Chromecast is frustratingly blurry and pixelated.
Blurry images are incredibly annoying if you're in the middle of your favorite program and you can't tell why it's blurry.
There are several possible reasons why your Chromecast displays blurry images. We have outlined them below.
The video you are casting on your TV is low-resolution (480p or lower) rather than the HD resolutions recommended for widescreen displays.
The app/site you are casting from is set to stream a low-resolution version of the video. This setting may be intentional (to reduce internet data usage) or automatic (due to a poor network connection).
The TV your Chromecast is connected to is set to a higher display resolution than the video stream, causing it to upscale the picture.
Chromecast was designed for videos streaming directly from the web. For this reason, it only supports some common web codecs. While you can cast local video files from VLC, they must be in the supported codecs.
2. Set Streaming Apps to High-Resolution Setting
Streaming apps or sites like Netflix and YouTube are commonly used with Chromecast.
They stream media directly from the internet and allow you to choose the display resolution you prefer.
People may stream lower resolution qualities to avoid buffering or reduce internet data consumption. However, this contributes to a poor-quality video on your TV screen.
Step 5: Go through the options available for that video and choose the one you prefer.
NOTE: For YouTube on mobile devices, you'll see options for Auto, Data Saving, Higher Picture Quality, or Advanced Settings. Go to Advanced and select the specific resolution you prefer.
3. Change TV's Display Resolution
The native resolution of a TV describes how many total pixels the screen has. A higher pixel number equals a higher display quality, and most modern TVs have HD native resolutions.
However, the quality of the picture on screen also depends on the resolution of the source video. Lower-resolution videos have to be upscaled to fit onto a high-resolution screen.
The TV's processor will add more information to the image before displaying it on the HD screen. Depending on the quality of the TV processor, upscaling can affect the quality of your video and make it look blurry.
It is best if your TV is set to the exact display resolution as the video you are streaming. Most TVs have settings that allow you to change the screen resolution.
How to Change Your TV Resolution:
Press the Menu button on your remote and navigate to Settings.
Scroll until you find the option for Output Resolution. Click on it.
You'll find a list of different resolutions: 480p, 720p, 1080p, etc. (The options only go as high as your TV's native resolution)
Navigate through the options and choose the one suitable for your video.
NOTE: The steps may vary slightly for different TVs. You may find the Resolution settings under Display, Picture Mode, or Setup.
4. Reboot Your Router
A simple reboot often works wonders for technological devices. It's like a very quick nap that recharges.
Restarting the router may give your network a much-needed speed boost. A restart clears the router and cache and allows it to reselect the best network channel, which may mean a stronger internet connection.
Follow these Steps to Reboot Your Router:
Disconnect your router from its power source.
Wait 1 minute for the memory to clear fully and all the power to drain out of the router.
Plug the power cable back into the router and wait for it to reconnect to the network.
NOTE: This manual reboot method works for any kind of router. You can also check your manufacturer's manual to find alternative ways to reboot your router.
5. Change the Router's Wi-Fi Frequency
Depending on its settings, your streaming app may automatically adjust the quality of a video based on your internet connection speed.
Most Wi-Fi routers support two wireless frequencies: 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz. Both frequencies are primarily different in terms of speed and range.
The 2.4 GHz band covers longer distances but transmits data at lower speeds. Alternatively, the 5 GHz band has a shorter range, higher speed, and is less susceptible to interference.
Both frequencies have their strengths, but if you're streaming high-resolution videos, it's best to consider internet speed ahead of other qualities. You need around 5 Mbps to stream high-quality videos smoothly and without buffering.
You can use the Google Speed Test Tool to determine your device's connection speed.
We recommend that the distance between your Wi-Fi router and Chromecast be 15 feet or less. Use a measuring tape to ensure this if you have to.
If the distance between your router and Chromecast is too much, you can use an HDMI extender to close the distance. Plug your Chromecast into the female port on the extender and plug the male end of the extender into your TV's HDMI port | eng | 0cf80030-c28d-41ad-90ea-b0d85142bb42 | https://pointerclicker.com/chromecast-poor-video-quality/ |

Flash High-Pressure Condensate to Regenerate Low-Pressure Steam
Flash High-Pressure Condensate to Regenerate Low-Pressure Steam
Every pound of steam saved is a pound that does not have to be produced by the boiler. That's why recovering flash steam is a great way to reduce energy costs.
Flash steam is steam that is created when condensate at a higher pressure and temperature is released to a lower pressure and the condensate cannot exist as a liquid in the new condition.
Flash steam can be used for the same purposes as live steam because it has exactly the same latent heat content as boiler steam. If this latent heat is not put to some service, the heat energy that was used to produce it is partially wasted.
So how much of a financial impact can saving flash steam make? Here is an example:
In a plant where the cost of steam is $8.00 per million Btu ($8.00/MMBtu), saturated steam at 150 pounds per-square-inch-gauge (psig) is generated, and a portion of it throttled to supply 30-psig steam. Assuming continuous operation, the annual energy savings of producing low-pressure steam by flashing 5,000 pounds per hour (lb/hr) of 150-psig condensate is $40,924. Over 10 years that's over $400,000 in savings!
Determine if Flash Steam Recovery is right for your plant
Campbell-Sevey can help you determine the potential for high pressure condensate flashing by completing a plant survey that:

Which antique French bathroom fixture is the savior of our health?
You think that products from the past couple of centuries are long gone and have been replaced by improved, modernalternatives? Well, in some cases, you may be right, but when it comes to abathroom fixture made in the 19th century France, you couldn't be more wrong!
We have all heard about the bidet, but there aren't many of us who realize the many benefits of this antique bathroom fixture for our health and personal hygiene. Want to find out more about how it can improve your health?
1. Better cleanliness
Think about it – what if you had dirt on your face? Would you use a dry tissue to wipe it away or you would use warm water? The answer is clear. So, why would you use a dry toilet paper to clean your privates? Toilet paper can't remove the entire residue, while a stream of warm water from the bidet can. It's the most effective way to completely clean your private parts. Modern bidets allow you to choose the intensity of the stream so that you can experience maximal comfort.
2. Less irritation and itchiness
Toilet paper can't be soft enough to avoid occasional itchiness or irritation of the sensitive skin around your privates. It is a product that contains perfume and many chemicals which can be harming to your skin, causing redness and even allergies. Water, on the other hand, is the most natural way to keep your sensitive parts clean and you don't have to fear of any bad reaction of your skin to it.
3. Improved feminine hygiene
Women have far more sensitive parts exposedthan men, making their proper personal hygiene that much harder. Bidets allow women to wash their intimate parts gently but thoroughly. It also means women will be less prone to urinary tract infections, which often happen due to bacteria from the anal area getting into contact with the vaginal area when a woman is wiping herself with toilet paper. In other words, bidets are improving women's intimate health.
4. Relieving certain health conditions
The comfort and practicality of using the bidet mean that many health conditions are easier to endure, for example, hemorrhoids, because where there is less abrasion, there is less irritation and pain. Symptoms of other health conditions' like rectal prolapse, anal fistula, ulcerative colitis, and Chron's disease can also be relieved by using specialized types of a bidet or specific attachments like a toilet jet spray.People suffering from chronic diarrhea will also find the bidet very helpfulbecause it removes the acidic residue from the already irritated area,relieving the pain. In short, depending on your needs, you can find a bidetthat suits your needs best.
5. Useful bathroom improvement for elderly and physically challenged
With, time elderly people lose strength and agility, so it's no wonder why many of them need assistance when going to the toilet or maintaining their personal hygiene. Using a specialized bidet will allow them to be more independent because a bidet does all the work for them. This will mean they will have more privacy and they will feel better aboutthemselves, but it will also allow them to keep their strength. Physically challenged people will also find the bidet very helpful and comfortable, allowing them more independence.
Additional benefits of a bidet
Even though your health and personal
hygiene are the most important benefits of using a bidet, let's not forget
other advantages to this great bathroom improvement:
– reduced number of clogs – toilet paper is infamous for its tendency to clog toilets and pipes. Unclogging them can be complicated and expensive, and the truth is you can't do anything to prevent it. On the other hand, if you switch to a bidet, you will use the toilet paper 75% less frequently than before, significantly reducing the chance of clogging and saving money in the process.
– eco-friendly bathroom improvement – there are several reasons why using a bidet is good for your environment. First of all, toilet paper is made of damaging chemicals which eventually end up polluting the rivers and the land in your vicinity. When you stop using it, you'll reduce your environmental footprint. Secondly, the cost of producing, packaging and transport of the toilet paper is very high and pollutes the environment in many ways during the process. Thirdly, many trees has to be cut in order to produce toilet paper. Only in the USA, millions of trees need to becut every year to produce the toilet paper.
Final comment
A bidet is your sure way to improved personal hygiene and better overall health. You just need to leave your misconceptions aside and see a bidet for what it really is – an incredibly beneficial modern bathroom feature.

Patching is an integral component of any cyber security strategy. It provides an additional layer of defence from adversaries seeking to exploit and gain access to your network by minimising potential attack vectors caused by security vulnerabilities. In 2020, we observed the proliferation of vulnerabilities in network appliances, VPNs, and other related infrastructure that we have relied on during this mass work from home period. Thus, patching remains a solid preventative control to thwart attackers from achieving their objectives.
The Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC) have recommended patching for many years in their Essential Eight1 and Information Security Manual2. Patching is the process of remediating security vulnerabilities that exist in applications, operating systems, drivers, and device firmware by installing patches (updates) or replacing/upgrading vulnerable software or firmware versions.
While many recent, high profile breaches have been caused by the exploitation of unpatched security vulnerabilities in networking appliances, operating systems and applications have consistently featured in lists of the top vulnerabilities exploited by adversaries. Consequently, a range of assets should be considered as part of a patch management plan. This includes, but is not limited to:
THE STATE OF VULNERABILITY PATCHING
ParaFlare have been contributing to Verizon's Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) for the past two years. The DBIR provides data driven insights into the perpetrators, victims, and causes of cyber security incidents and confirmed data breaches. According to the DBIR 2020 report, more than half of the incidents that were analysed in the twelve months to October 31, 2019 involved hacking, with the third most prevalent type of hacking being vulnerability exploitation. The first and second most prevalent types of hacking were denial of service and stolen credentials, respectively.
Statistics in the DBIR 2020 report show that on average 57% of vulnerabilities are patched by organisations within three months of the vulnerability's disclosure. The report also demonstrates that there are significant differences in the patching rate between industries, as shown in the table below.
Industry
Percentage
Information
89%
Mining and Utilities
81%
Professional Services

Retail

It is clear that security incidents involving vulnerability exploitation occur for two reasons: an organisation does not patch vulnerabilities quickly enough, or they do not patch them at all. The longer vulnerabilities go unpatched, the greater the likelihood they will never be patched. This is often due to an organisation having poor visibility of ICT assets and associated vulnerabilities in their environment.
In some circumstances, there may be operational factors that result in the organisation's decision not to patch. This includes compatibility issues with legacy hardware or software and the prioritisation of system availability over security. This is a separate issue, but important to note as legacy systems are repeatedly targeted due to the increased likelihood of successful compromise via vulnerability exploitation.
WHY PATCHING MATTERS
Vulnerabilities are exploited by both sophisticated and non-sophisticated threat actors. Well documented vulnerabilities are often targeted by researchers and malware writers as soon as information becomes available. When a proof of concept for a vulnerability exploit is first released, it is done so publicly, meaning any type of threat actor can simply download it and use it against a target.
Depending on the adversary, there are the opportunistic hackers who engage in a 'spray and pray' approach. The threat actor will use publicly available tools, such as Shodan, to discover potentially vulnerable devices all over the world. They will on-masse, try to exploit these devices, hoping that one will give them the access they are looking for. The assumption being made is that organisations have not patched the vulnerability, yet the threat actor already has access to a working exploit.
More sophisticated threat actor groups will become alerted to a vulnerability or identify one themselves and start developing a way to weaponise it. The reconnaissance phase starts now, to determine who from their list of targets are vulnerable to the working exploit. Many high-profile cyber security breaches involving vulnerability exploitation have occurred after a patch was released. The following table contains just some of many case studies we can use to understand why patching still matters.

Threat actors have taken advantage11 of organisation's slowness to patch these vulnerabilities.
The motivations behind these attacks are wide-reaching and various, yet they have severe consequences.
As a non-negligible number of cybersecurity incidents involve the exploitation of vulnerabilities, it is crucial for a vulnerability management process to be well-structured and understood by all relevant stakeholders.
RECOMMENDATIONS
ParaFlare recommends the following steps in ensuring that this can be achieved by your organisation:
First and foremost, confirm that you have identified all devices and assets. For each asset, prioritise the risk to the business, and know who the owner is. ParaFlare recommends having a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) in place that lists all hardware and software components within the network, including details such as versioning and patch numbers. Changes or additions to hardware and software components should be identified and updated in the CMDB regularly.
Ensure there is a clear process for vulnerability and patch management; including roles and responsibilities of various stakeholders as defined by your organisation.
Most vendors maintain a security advisory or bulletin to update customers on newly discovered vulnerabilities and patch updates. It is critical to subscribe to these advisories and initiate a response if a vulnerability is relevant to your environment. An example can be found on Cisco's website. There are also free and paid solutions that enable you to bulk subscribe to vulnerability notifications relevant to your organisation.
Assess each vulnerability according to their likelihood and impact if successfully exploited. Validate whether the vulnerability can be exploited in terms of how it has been implemented in your organisation.
Deploy a vulnerability scanning solution in your environment and run the scan regularly to identify new devices and new vulnerabilities.
If a patch has been released for a vulnerability that your organisation is vulnerable to, the following timeframes for deploying the patch is recommended by industry best practices12:
Extreme risk: within 48 hours of a patch being released
High risk: within two weeks of a patch being released
Moderate or low risk: within one month of a patch being released.
Many security incidents, whether they are targeted or opportunistic attacks, can be mitigated via patching. Patching and overall vulnerability management still matter in the continuous battle against cyber threats. Whilst not all security incidents can be thwarted by patching, it is an important preventative measure as part of a larger security program for any organisation. | eng | d4ff9620-78f3-40cb-9fd0-7fc5020e3ec2 | https://paraflare.com/articles/patching-and-why-it-still-matters/ |
Supernatural – s15e18 – Despair
So, here's the thing, I have been following the American election for the past two days. Some might say obsessively. And there may have been some alcohol involved. (And while I'm still too much of an eternal pessimist to feel good right now, I'm at least feeling better than I was yesterday or the day before. So there's that.) You add that to the fact that there are only three episodes of Supernatural left (two after tonight) and let's just say there's a non-zero chance that alcohol is still involved. So please forgive any excessive errors tonight, I'll try to keep them to a minimum.
It's strange how I'm feeling coming up to the end of this long-running show I've been watching since it aired 15 years ago. First, I know that it's time. The show has explored about as much as it's possible for it to explore. There has been more than one recycled plot, reskinned to give it a new flavour, but still as predictable as before. That's not to say there haven't been good things about the show, but, well, I'm a die-hard fan and they completely lost me in the middle of last season. It picked up there at the end, but yeah, it's time.
Second, I am excited about what's going to happen with this season and the end of the show. I want to know how it's all gonna fall out, how they'll go up against a god. I have had a lot of ideas over the years about how the show would end, now I wanna see how close I got, and what the showrunners ideas were for wrapping everything up.
But third, I'm also sad about the end. As I said, I've been tuning into this show for the past 15 years. It's an old friend by now and it's going to be hard to say goodbye. I don't know if any of you are big readers, especially of multi-book series, like I am, but it's similar to coming to the end of one of those series. You want to know how it all ends, and read on with abandon as you get caught up in the climax and the (hopefully) fast pace as the characters drive towards the end. But there's a part of you that thinks about putting the book down for a bit, because as anxious as you are to see the end, you also know it means that you're done with this world, these characters, and that's a sad place to be. You hope to prolong it a bit by just waiting to read that next chapter for an hour, a day, a week.* I've heard there are some people who never watched the last episode of Firefly so it wouldn't have to be over for them. Now, I'm not that kind of person, I need to see how it all plays out way too much to just not ever find out, but I do get the impulse to do so. And I'm really feeling that with Supernatural. I can't believe we're almost there. But…it is time….and I want to see how it ends. So, to that end, let's all jump in and drown in the despair.
*Yes, I know you can always re-read or re-watch a show to go back to that world and those characters, but we all know it's not quite the same as the first time through. That first time is magical in a way subsequent ones aren't. Sure, you may pick up on more on your next trips through, may understand the work on a deeper level…but it's not magical. That magic is what I'm trying to prolong. | eng | 50f0e358-49f8-4763-a66d-a14577fa87cc | https://the-avocado.org/2020/11/05/supernatural-s15e18-despair/ |

Brake Repair Service: How Do Brakes Work?
Cars are incredible machines. They can go from 0 to 60 in a matter of seconds and can brake just as quickly. But have you ever wondered how car brakes work?
A car's braking system is quite simple. When you press the brake pedal, it activates a hydraulic system that applies pressure to the brakes. This pressure makes the brakes grip the rotating wheels and slow them down. The more pressure you apply, the faster the wheels will stop.
The brakes on a car are designed to work even if one of the wheels is not working properly. That's because each wheel has its own brakes. The front wheels usually have disc brakes, while the rear wheels have drum brakes. Let's take a look at how these two types of brake systems work to keep you safe on the road.
Disc Brakes
Disc brakes are the more modern of the two types, and they are used on both cars and trucks. They have single-piston sliding callipers that attach to the discs. The discs are made from metal, typically steel, although aluminum is sometimes used.
Disc brakes have several advantages over drum brakes. When applying the brakes, the disc brakes will dissipate heat more effectively, which prevents the brakes from overheating and failing.
They're also less likely to fade under heavy use, making them ideal for high-performance driving. Disc brakes also have a quicker response time than drum brakes and don't require as much pedal pressure to engage.
Despite their advantages, disc brakes have a few drawbacks. They're more expensive to repair and replace than drum brakes, and they require more frequent maintenance.
In addition, disc brakes can become damaged if exposed to road debris or saltwater. Overall, though, disc brakes are the superior choice for modern cars.
How Disc Brakes Work
Disc brakes work by using pressure to squeeze a pair of pads against a spinning disc (rotors). The rotor spins as the wheel turns, and the pads are pushed against it.
The brake pad transfers the pressure from the piston to the rotor and then finally to the wheel, making the car slow down or stop.
Disc brake performance is determined by various factors. The first is the amount of friction created between the brake pads and brake rotors.
The harder you press the brake pedal, the more pressure is applied to the rotor and the more friction is created.
The size of the disc also affects its efficiency. Smaller discs can generate more friction, but they don't have as much surface area to do so.
Larger discs have more surface area to create friction, but they don't create as much pressure.
Drum Brakes
Drum brakes are generally older designs than disc brakes and are not as common in new vehicles. Drum brakes have a spinning cylinder (the drum) that has shoes attached to the inside. These two work in tandem to slow or stop the vehicle.
Drum brakes are not as good at dissipating heat, but they are cheaper to manufacture, so they are still used on many newer cars in the rear position.
How Drum Brakes Work
Drum brakes work by hydraulic fluid pressuring the shoes outward against the rotating drums. The shoes have a friction material (often made of asbestos) that creates the necessary friction to slow or stop the car.
When the car's driver presses the brake pedal, hydraulic fluid is sent to the cylinders in the drums. This pressurized fluid then forces the shoes outward, into contact with the drums. The friction between the shoes and drums slows down or stops the car.
The amount of pressure applied to the drum will depend on the position of the brake pedal. The longer you press the pedal, the more the pressure will increase and the more friction will be applied to the drum and the wheel.
To sum it up
So, that's a quick rundown of how drum and disc brakes work. You should now have a better understanding of both systems and what they have to offer | eng | 687e3f50-61c1-41f7-8101-579f906648cb | https://www.trailtire.com/brake-repair-service-how-do-brakes-work/ |

Those little Bunlings may look innocent, but don't be fooled! They've got a mischievous streak a mile wide. I once found my hat perched on top of a tree after they pulled a fast one on me.
— Farmer Jefifryah, Burger Plains
Meet the Bunlings, mischievous bread-like creatures that roam the Burger Plains. With their agile antics and playful nature, they bring laughter and surprises to Culinaria, leaving everyone guessing what prank they'll pull next.
Mischievous Buns
Bunlings are pint-sized beings, usually measuring around 6-8 inches tall. Resembling miniature buns with tiny legs, they sport a golden-brown hue with just a hint of crusty texture. One of their most remarkable traits is their extraordinary ability to blend into the Burger Plains' environment. When resting, they perfectly mimic the appearance of smooth stones, allowing them to evade detection by unsuspecting passersby. This camouflaging technique helps them stay hidden while they plan their next prank.
Offering gifts to the Bunlings can be a thoughtful way to build trust and rapport with these mischievous creatures. While they may still retain their playful and trickster nature, the right offerings can encourage them to be more cooperative and less mischievous during interactions. Bunlings have a particular affinity for sweets and desserts. Offer them an assortment of delicious pastries, cakes, or candies as a delightful treat. They're also attracted to shiny objects. Gifting them with small, sparkling trinkets like colorful gemstones or polished crystals could intrigue and amuse them.
-Sir Salahad
Living Environment
Bunlings are skilled at finding hidden nooks and crannies to call home. From snug burrows among wheat fields to cozy corners within bakeries and kitchens, these mischievous creatures make their abodes in spaces that afford both safety and easy access to culinary delights. Bunlings thrive in the company of their kin, and they are often spotted in groups, engaging in spirited play and mischief. They are drawn to communal spaces where they can share their playful energy, engaging in friendly competitions and entertaining each other with clever tricks.
Bunlogical Information
Bunlings undergo several stages of growth in their lifecycles. They hatch from small, bread-like eggs buried in the warm sands of the Burger Plains. Once hatched, they resemble miniature buns with tiny legs and are already agile pranksters. As they age, their bodies gradually harden, providing more durability to endure their playful escapades. Bunlings reach full maturity within a year and can live nearly a decade, during which they continue to refine their mischief-making skills.
Biological Cycles
Bunlings are most active during the warmer months, flourishing amidst the bountiful harvests and culinary festivities. In colder seasons, they exhibit a slight hibernation-like behavior, seeking shelter in cozy nooks or burrows to conserve energy. Their natural camouflage helps them avoid detection during this period.
Parasitic Species: Pickleback Beetles
The Pickleback Beetles are fascinating yet peculiar creatures that have developed a unique parasitic relationship with the mischievous Bunlings. These beetles have a distinct ability: they can metabolize the Bunlings' crusty bread-like exterior and break it down into a nutritious sludge.
When the Pickleback Beetles latch onto the Bunlings, they secrete a special enzyme that softens the outer layer of the Bunlings' bodies, allowing them to feed on it slowly. While this may seem harmful to the Bunlings, it's actually a mutually beneficial arrangement. The beetles derive sustenance from the Bunlings' crust, while the Bunlings, in turn, absorb some of the nutrients and minerals produced by the Pickleback Beetles as they digest the bread-like material.
General Location: Burger Plains Size: 6 to 8 inches tall Lifespan: 5 to 8 years Diet: Omnivorous; they primarily feed on seeds, fruits, and small insects
Behavior
Bunlings are notorious pranksters, known for their clever and playful nature. They often gather in small groups, conspiring to surprise and startle anyone who crosses their path. Rolling themselves into hard-to-reach places, such as behind rocks or under bushes, they wait for the perfect moment to pop out and catch passersby off-guard. Their mischief brings laughter and delight to many in the Burger Plains, but some may find themselves caught unawares by their antics.
The Sneaky Startle: A group of Bunlings hides near a well-traveled path, camouflaged as stones. As unsuspecting travelers pass by, the Bunlings suddenly pop out, eliciting surprised yelps and laughter.
The Great Bunling Chase: Bunlings love to play tag with each other. They dart around in a game of chase, weaving through the grassy plains, and occasionally enticing curious passersby to join in on the fun.
The Bunling Swap: In bustling marketplaces, Bunlings sneakily switch small items like spices or trinkets from one vendor's stall to another, leaving the vendors puzzled and amused.
The Hidden Treasure: Bunlings have a penchant for collecting shiny objects like pebbles or baubles. They hide these treasures in small burrows and watch with glee as curious individuals search for the hidden loot.
History of Bunlings
Gather 'round, folks, and let me regale you with the enchanting tale of the Bunlings, those mischievous bread-like critters born from the culinary sorcery of Madame Pâte in the heart of the Burger Plains. Legend has it that Madame Pâte, a master of culinary magic, concocted the Bunlings using the finest ingredients and a pinch of whimsy. These little buns sprung to life, dashing across the plains, their legs like nimble toothpicks and their spirits as lively as freshly baked loaves.
Word of the Bunlings' exploits quickly spread beyond the Burger Plains and tales of their antics traveled far and wide. Soon, they became a symbol of mirth and camaraderie across all of Culinaria, their reputation as playful pranksters endearing them to all who heard their stories.
Throughout history, the Bunlings have continued to weave their magic, leaving a trail of laughter and cheer wherever they roam. From baking competitions to harvest festivals, they appear, adding their special flavor of delight to every occasion. Their presence has become a cherished tradition and those who encounter a Bunling are blessed with good fortune and a heart full of joy.
-Charbroil Patty, leader of the Fizzriders
Myths and Legends
The Bunling's Golden CrustIt is said that the Bunlings possess a magical golden crust bestowed upon them by a benevolent heat spirit. The golden hue is thought to represent the warmth and abundance of the Burger Plains, a reminder that even in the harshest of times, there is always nourishment and laughter to be found.
The Bunling's LaughterThere exists a belief that the Bunlings' laughter has the power to heal and uplift spirits. When a gloomy cloud of sadness hovers over the land, the Bunlings take it upon themselves to roam the plains, leaving behind bursts of infectious laughter. It is said that their mirthful echoes can chase away sorrow, leaving behind smiles on the faces of all who hear them.
The Bunling's GiftA weary traveler once found themselves lost in the vastness of the Burger Plains. Struggling to find their way home, the traveler was guided by a playful group of Bunlings, who led them back to safety. As a token of gratitude, the traveler offered the Bunlings a simple loaf of bread. To their amazement, the Bunlings transformed the bread into a divine masterpiece, imbued with flavors beyond imagination. Since that day, it is believed that sharing food with the Bunlings will bestow good fortune and blessings upon the giver.

the motor is as if it was running and they took the head off, everything is there, chrome vavle cover chrome intake, alternator still hooked up, distributor, i even have the stock radiator in good condition ill throw in

That is a "Normal" 5-speed. The original 4-speed was shorter. A 521 didn't come with a 5-speed ever, only 4-speeds, so they had to shorten the driveline to use that 5-speed. Sure, there was a "short" 5-speed, but they didn't use it, they used a normal relatively common truck 5-speed. Probably straight from the truck that L20B came from, since it would be easy to acquire.
Trust me, it's not a 6-speed unless you're counting reverse. There is no, and never was, a 6-speed that directly bolts to an L-series engine. Even racing transmissions (which that is not). That is simply a standard FS5W71B, circa 1977-1980. They all had "2 mounts"- a flat surface mount (which is the real mount) and a pair of "ears" on the tailstock. Later 5-speeds only had one ear.

well there you have it guys, he knows way too much about datsuns so dont question him, either way im putting a 13b rotary in my truck w a twin turbo 5 speed tranny and dont need any of this, so come buy this l20b for 400 and ill throw the 6 speed in for free ;)

Abstract: The transport of biomolecules, drugs, or reactants encapsulated inside
stimuli-responsive polymer networks in aqueous media is fundamental for many
material and environmental science applications, including drug delivery,
biosensing, catalysis, nanofiltration, water purification, and desalination.
The transport is particularly complex in dense polymer media, such as collapsed
hydrogels, where the molecules strongly interact with the polymer network and
diffuse via a hopping mechanism. In this study, we employ Dynamical Density
Functional Theory (DDFT) to investigate the non-equilibrium release kinetics of
non-ionic subnanometer-sized molecules initially uploaded inside collapsed
microgel particles. The theory is consistent with previous molecular dynamics
simulations of collapsed poly($N$-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) polymer
matrices, accommodating molecules of varying shapes and sizes. We found that,
despite the intricate physico-chemical properties involved in the released
process, the kinetics is predominantly dictated by two material parameters: the
diffusion coefficient of the molecules inside the microgel ($D^*$) and the
interaction free energy of the molecules with the microgel ($\Delta G$). Our
results reveal two distinct limiting regimes: For large, slowly diffusing
molecules weakly attracted to the polymer network, the release is primarily
driven by diffusion, with a release time that scales as $\tau_{1/2} \sim
1/D^*$. Conversely, for small molecules strongly attracted to the polymer
network, the release time is dominated by the interaction, scaling as
$\tau_{1/2} \sim \exp(-\Delta G/k_{\textrm{B}} T)$. Our DDFT calculations are
directly compared with an analytical equation for the half-release time,
demonstrating excellent quantitative agreement. This equation represents a
valuable tool for predicting release kinetics of non-ionic molecules from
collapsed microgels. | eng | eb72133e-ee26-4694-971d-8662df83ee49 | http://export.arxiv.org/abs/2309.14536 |
Durga Puja, also called Durgotsava and Navaratri, is celebrated with great enthusiasm. Durga Puja is the most significant and eagerly awaited Hindu festival in West Bengal. It is also the most significant socio-cultural event of the state. The festival is observed in the Hindu calendar month of Ashvin, typically September or October of the Gregorian calendar. The celebration of the festival occurs on five consecutive days: Sasthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Navami and Dasami. It is another festival that depicts the triumph of Good over Evil as it is celebrates the victory of goddess Durga over demon Mahisasura.
Durga Puja, also referred to as Durgotsava (Festival of Durga), is a famous annual Hindu festival marked by worship of goddess Durga over the last five days of Navratri, in the Ashwin month of the Hindu calendar. These five days are observed as Sasthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Navami and Vijayadasami. The festivities culminate on the tenth day on Vijayadasami when Durga idols are carried out in grand procession and immersed in the river or other water bodies. Durga Puja is a festivity of Good (goddess Durga) over Evil (demon Mahisasura). It is a worship of power of Good which always wins over the bad.
Durga Puja is one of the biggest Hindu festivals in India that is celebrated with great enthusiasm and grandeur. Durga Puja is also known as Durgotsava and Sharadotsava. Durga Puja is particularly a significant festival of West Bengal. For Bangalis, it is a five days long festival celebration which is been observed as Sasthi, Maha Saptami, Maha Ashtami, Maha Navami and Vijayadasami. The festival begins on Sasthi and ends on Dasami when the idol of goddess Durga is immersed into the rivers or any other water bodies. Festival of Durga Puja epitomises the triumph of Good (goddess Durga) over Evil (Mahisasura the demon). It is a worship of power of good which always wins over the evil.
Festival of Navratri (literally nine nights), also spelled Navaratri or Navarathri, is a significant nine-day Hindu festival celebrated in the autumn every year. There are four seasonal Navratri. Sharad Navratri is the most popular and significant of all four. That is why Sharad Navratri is also known as Maha Navratri. The festival, which marks the worship of Goddess Durga, begins today on September 21, 2017 with religious fervor and gaiety.
Mahalaya is celebrated to mark the beginning of the 'Devi Paksha' and the end of the 'Pitru Paksha' (Shraddha or the mourning period). On this day, most Bengalis wake up in the pre-dawn hours at 4 am to tune into the 'Mahisasura Mardini' broadcast. The countdown to Durga Puja, one of the biggest festivals in India, begins from Mahalaya.
Ganesh Chaturthi, also known as Vinayaka Chaturthi, is a ten day Hindu festival celebrated to honour God Ganesha's birthday. Although he is known by many attributes, Ganesha's elephant head makes him easy to identify. He is the younger son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Ganesha is known by 108 different names, and is widely revered as the remover of obstacles, the patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. Lord Ganesha is worshipped by the believers at the beginning of any new ventures based on the belief that Ganesha can take away any obstacle that may come around. Ganesh Chaturthi 2017 begins on Friday, August 25 and ends on Tuesday, September 5.
Krishna Janmashtami or simply Janmashtami, also known as Krishnashtami, Gokulashtami, Ashtami Rohini, Srikrishna Jayanti, Sree Jayanti, Saatam Aatham, Dahi Handi, is an annual Hindu festival that celebrates the birth of Lord Krishna, the eighth avatar (incarnation) of Lord Vishnu. It is observed according to Hindu lunar calendar, on the eighth day (Ashtami) of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) in the month of Shravana (overlaps with August and September of the Gregorian calendar). Janmashtami falls on August 14 in 2017 for Smarta Sampradaya. For Vaishanava Sampradaya and ISKCON Janmashtami falls on August 15 in 2017.

Nichole's Answer
If there are any animal hospitals in your area, applying for a job working in their kennel is a good start. This will give you experience handling animals and an opportunity to see how they are medically treated. Many veterinarians and technicians start this way.

Bamidbar: Counting Jews, Jewishly
Jews have an aversion to counting people. Walk into a winter mincha minyan and Jews use ten-word verses to verify the minyan. To the minyanaire, no sweeter word than haolam, the final word in the classic Hoshia es Amecha [Tehillim, 28:9] verse can be heard.
"When you take the count of the B'nei Yisrael to determine their numbers, each man shall give an atonement pledge for his soul to Ad-noy, when you count them. Thus there will be no plague among them when you count them1.
No one wants to get plagued!
Second, and perhaps even more significantly, the Talmud lays down a clear prohibition:2
R. Eleazar said: Whosoever counts Israel, transgresses a [biblical] prohibition, as it is said: "Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured" [Hoshea]. R. Nahman b. Isaac said: He would transgress two prohibitions, for it is written: 'Which cannot be measured nor numbered'.
So there is something very not good about counting people! And yet our parsha, Bamidbar commences the book of Numbers – so called because of the two major censuses in the book. Again and again God counts his people. Indeed, according to the midrash [Tanchuma, KiTisa 9], God counts his people ten times. A Rashi spells it out clearly:
Because they (the Israelites) are precious before Him (Hashem), He counts them all the time; when they went out of Egypt He counted them [Shemot, 12:37], and when they fell because of [the sin of] the golden calf He counted them to know the number of those who remained, when He came to cause His Presence to rest upon them He counted them.
Counting people then is an expression of love. Consider: People count money, vacation days, carats and calories [each calorie is negative-precious]. Certainly, there are numerous expressions of Divine love. What special message inheres in counting?
Now that we have concluded that counting is bad and good – we are officially confused. Wait, because two other questions confound further:
a. The classic Torah count-word is sefira as in omer, shemittah (sabbatical year), yovel (jubilee), stars and niddah (days of menstrual separation) – to name but a few. Yet when counting people we skip that classic word and for two others, pakad and se'u that loom large in the people-count context.
Both have multiple meanings: Pakad is the classic word for memory, as in: And Hashem (pakad) remembered Sarah. Se'u means to lift up, as in: Abraham, sa einecha, lift up your eyes. Why does the Torah depart from the classic pristine sefirah and use more ambiguous formulations? We will leave the 4th word, minyan/ mana for a different time.
b. The deepest counting problem emerges from a troubling story in Shmuel 2:24. David HaMelech overrules his general Yoav and counts his people.
And the king said to Joab .. "Go please, to and fro throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba and take census of the people, so that I may know the number of the people." And Joab said .. "May the Lord your God add to the people a hundredfold of whatsoever they may be, and the eyes of my lord, the king may see it; but my lord the king, why does he desire such a thing?" But the word of the king prevailed against Joab, … 9. And Joab presented the sum .. And Israel consisted of eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men. … 10. And David's heart smote him after he had counted the people. And David said to the Lord: I have sinned greatly in what I have done; and now, 'O Lord, put aside please, the iniquity of your servant, for I was very foolish! ..
Hashem asks David to pick his poison:
'So says the Lord, "Three things I offer you, choose for yourself one of them, and I shall do it to you". And Gad came to David and he told him, and he said to him, "[Do you prefer] that seven years of famine in your land shall come upon you? or three months that you shall flee before your oppressor while he pursues you? or, that there be three days pestilence in your land? .. and David said to Gad; "I am greatly oppressed; let us fall now into the hand of the Lord; for His mercies are great; but into the hand of man let me not fall." So the Lord sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning until the appointed time; And there died of the people from Dan to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men.
So much is troubling here . Two obvious questions
How could David have violated such an obvious imperative?
Even if he did, why should the rest of the nations suffer?
Let's commence with a basic sevara (logic) that appears throughout the literature.
Two true but opposing negative notions emerge when considering the count of people: Every number is unique; a person who is counted is thus individualized, he is left stripped of community – for my number is different than your number.
Paradoxically, the counted one is stripped of his unique nature. Nothing dehumanizes more than a number; a notion the Nazis understood very well. In the process of counting, Reuven + Shimon no longer remain Reuven and Shimon – they now become two nondescript generic people
So what's good about counting? A classic story illustrates:
Five minutes left in the exam, and the proctor calls out, "Finish up, people." Everyone starts writing conclusions, one guy keeps writing. The proctor calls out, "Time's up. All papers in." Everyone who hasn't finished brings up their papers. One guy just keeps writing. The proctor sees him, says, "I said 'Time's up.' Get your paper in now, or I'll have to disqualify your exam." The guy keeps writing. The proctor gathers all the exams into a big pile, looks at the guy writing, says, "That's it, then. Your exam is disqualified." The guy finishes up, checks the paper, carries it up to the front. The proctor shakes his head and says, "Sorry. I told you — I won't accept your exam." The guy looks indignant, stares at the proctor, says "Do you realize who I am?" The proctor looks surprised, then annoyed, and says, "I don't know, and I don't care." The guy says, "I didn't think so," stuffs his paper into the very middle of the huge stack of exams, and runs out of the room.
Numbers bind.Sefas Emes teaches that they binds us to our roots. Jews are 3 [Patriarchs] and 70 [souls who went to Egypt] and 600,000 [at Mt. Sinai]. Numbers link horizontally. A minyan of ten simple Jews can say kaddish kedusha and barchu while 8 Chofetz Chaim's, and a Chazon Ish can not. Within the number resides the power of the community. That which unites in the number is our common kedusha – our common roots. Thus for the Jews, Hashem alone counts HIS people: [Yoma 22b]
R. Jonathan raised an objection: It is written: 'Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea,' and it is also written: 'Which cannot be numbered? This is no contradiction: Here it speaks of the time when Israel fulfils the will of the Lord, there of the time when they do not fulfill His will. Rabbi, on behalf of Abba Jose son of Dosthai, said: This is no contradiction: Here it speaks of [counting done] by human beings, there of counting by Heaven.
And when does man count? Only when he must, and even then only in a specific way. To express bravado or possession [these are my people] is wholly inappropriate. When Shaul counts twice [with lambs and with shards, Shmuel 1: 11 & 15], it is because he needs to know how many soldiers can fight.
And yet even when counting is necessary, it retains negative peripheral effects – for it strips one of communal merit and serves to dehumanize. Here we uncover the mystery of pakad . God, Rabbeinu Bechayei teaches, grants special hashgacha when counting is mandated or necessary. The metaphysical benefit of counting indirectly is that shards, coins or lambs are counted – not the individual. And what of s'eu? Even as you count many individuals together, I dare not one must not forget the special nature of the individual. Indeed, every person is lifted above the crowd.
With our David Hamelech conundrum we conclude: Herein, three famous approaches:
1. David counted the people directly [cf. Berachos 62b]
a. He thought the obligation to count indirectly was a temporal obligation. [Ramban]
b. He planned on bringing the coins afterwards [Levush].
2. David counted the children from above age 13 [Ramban].
3. David counted the people indirectly, but without reason [perhaps as a statement of pride].
a. That too is prohibited [Ramban, Midrash] / ii. David neglected to use coins [Ohr HaChaim].
These are David-focused answers. And why are the people punished? According to Rabbeinu Bechaye, the simple answer is they aren't: their deaths are a natural result of their lost communal merit. .
Ohr HaChaim's approach still intrigues. If indirect superfluous counting remains prohibited, why should coins be better than lambs. He doesn't say exactly, but I believe his implied notions can serve a powerful reminder; for it is not the coin, but the half coin that is key. Unessential counting accentuates people – by definition. That can not be hidden under the ruse of a shard or a lamb – for the counter prides himself in the people. ½ shekel coins however protect – for in the half-ness can be found a classic Jewish notion: I can not be whole without you. When I feel incomplete and in need of the other, then by definition I may garner communal merit.
To be properly counted within Klal Yisrael, we must think and live for the other.
May Hashem count his people as he beckons Moshiach, oh so speedily. Good Shabbos .
1 Cf. Rashi for things that are counted are subject to the evil eye and as a result a plague befalls them like in the days of David.
2 Why did the Talmud not use the Biblical verse ? Cf Maharsha Yoma 22b who answers that perhaps the verse is referring to the Golden Calf and is not a general prohibition. This is also an approach to understand King David's counting of the Jewish people.
3 L'havdil, but in a strikingly similar vein, the family patriarch might count his 5 children and 25 grandchildren . He is the chain that links | eng | 0247487f-8484-4969-98e6-539e89bb01ea | https://www.ou.org/life/torah/bamidbar_brander_5769/ |

At its core, CRM is designed to capture and organize customer data, making it easily accessible to sales teams. However, this wealth of information isn't confined to sales activities. Modern CRM systems, like GreenRope Complete CRM, offer a 360-degree view of the customer, including their interactions with marketing, support, and other touchpoints. This comprehensive view allows businesses to tailor their offerings to each customer's specific needs and preferences.
Marketing Automation
CRM goes beyond sales by integrating with marketing efforts. Marketing automation tools within CRM platforms enable businesses to create targeted marketing campaigns, segment their customer base, and track the effectiveness of marketing strategies. By nurturing leads through engaging with customers at various stages of the sales funnel, businesses can generate more qualified leads and boost conversions.
Customer Support and Service
Effective customer support is a vital component of any successful business. CRM systems empower support teams with a unified platform to manage customer inquiries, track service requests, and provide timely and personalized assistance. The ability to access a customer's history and preferences makes it easier to resolve issues promptly and increase overall satisfaction.
Data Analytics and Reporting
Data is a goldmine in today's business landscape, and CRM systems are rich sources of customer insights. Beyond sales metrics, CRM can generate reports and analytics on consumer behavior, purchase patterns, and engagement trends. By leveraging these insights, businesses can make informed decisions to optimize their operations, improve customer experiences, and adapt their strategies to changing market conditions.
Streamlined Operations
Efficiency is critical in business, and CRM contributes to streamlined operations in several ways. It automates repetitive tasks, reduces manual data entry, and unifies information, eliminating the need for employees to switch between multiple systems. This not only saves time but also minimizes errors and boosts overall productivity.
Scalability and Growth
A CRM system is not just a tool for the present but an investment in the future. As businesses expand, the scalability of CRM allows them to accommodate a growing customer base with their evolving needs. Whether a small startup or a large company, CRM can adapt to the changing demands of the business, providing a foundation for sustainable growth.
Promoting Collaboration
Collaboration among different departments is crucial for delivering a seamless customer experience. CRM allows for collaboration by sharing customer data and interactions across teams. This enables marketing, sales, and support to work together harmoniously. An integrated approach makes sure that every team member is well-informed and aligned with their customer-centric goals.
Customer Retention and Loyalty
One of the most valuable aspects of CRM is its ability to help businesses retain and nurture existing customers. With the wealth of data and insights it provides, companies can identify customer preferences, behavior patterns, and opportunities to cross-sell or upsell. This targeted approach to existing customers can significantly increase customer loyalty and lifetime value.
Personalization at Scale
In today's highly competitive market, personalization is a key driver of customer satisfaction and loyalty. CRM systems allow businesses to personalize their interactions with customers on a large scale. From personalized marketing messages to tailored product recommendations, CRM helps businesses connect with customers on a deeper level, creating long-term relationships.
Predictive Analytics
Many modern CRM systems incorporate predictive analytics, enabling businesses to forecast customer behavior and market trends. By integrating the power of AI and machine learning, CRM can help organizations stay ahead of the competition by making data-driven decisions, anticipating customer needs, and adapting their strategies proactively.
In today's customer-centric business landscape, CRM allows organizations to build stronger relationships with customers, improve marketing and support efforts, optimize operations, and drive growth. By recognizing the full spectrum of capabilities CRM offers, businesses can utilize its potential to thrive in a competitive market. CRM is not just a sales tool; it's a strategic asset that can transform the way businesses engage with their customers to achieve long-term success. Embracing CRM in its entirety is a forward-thinking strategy that can improve your business operations and customer relationships, setting you on the path to success in the modern world of business. | eng | 7973e303-87d7-4f86-9dcc-28299f238297 | https://www.greenrope.com/blog/Blog846/Why-CRM-is-More-Than-Just-a-Sales-Tool-Understanding-the-Full-Potential |

In Troop 97, your knowledge of knots will constantly be tested, and you will be expected to remember knots you learn at each rank advancement. These knots will form the foundation for other scouting skills, such as lashings.
Square Knot
The square knot can join 2 ropes of the same size. It is the first knot we learn to make with our shoelaces. It looks like a bow and is hugely unreliable. Its breaking strength is only 45% of the line strength. This leads surgeons to add an extra turn to the first half knot. The simple and ancient binding knot is also known by the names Hercules, Herakles, flat, and reef knots. It helps to secure a line or rope around an object. It creates unique designs of jewelry.
Two Half-Hitch
Also known by the names double half hitch and clove hitch around itself, this knot is an overhand knot followed by a half hitch. The Ashley Book of Knots states that Steel gave it its name in 1794. It can be tied around a ring, dock, post, tree, etc. It is commonly used in mooring and general utility. It is helpful in moving large objects, for example, logs.
Taut-line
It is a non-slipping, adjustable loop knot hitch based on the rolling hitch. It is also known by the names adjustable hitch, tent-line hitch, tent hitch and rigger's hitch. It slides freely but jams under load making line adjustments simple. You could reverse the direction of the half hitch made in step 3 of the below diagram to avoid twisting the knot.
Timber Hitch
The timber hitch is used to secure a rope round a post or any cylindrical object. It is also known as Bowyer's Knot owing to its use in attaching the end of the bowstring to a longbow.
Clove Hitch
It is considered to be one of the most important knots alongside the sheet bend and bowline. Also known as a double hitch, it is simply 2 back to back half hitches around a cylindrical object such as a tree, ax or a post. It causes an efficiency loss of approximately 40%. The quick release knot can also be tied with webbing. It can be an interesting forest school activity.
Bowline
The bowline (pronunciation "boh-lin") is a knot that can itself be tied at the middle of a rope making a fixed, secure loop at the end of the line. It retains about 60% of the line strength and has a knot efficiency of 77%. You can learn this basic knot taught at ranger schools by the aid of the below printable diagram with instructions.
Square Lashing
Square Lashing Knots can be used to make a rectangular frame. Many applications have been described including: making support frames; when two trees are close enough, a table can be supported by a pair of poles or branches lashed horizontally either side of the trees; a fence can be constructed by driving poles into the ground and then joining them with bars attached with Square Lashing Knots; and a raft can be created by lashing bamboo poles across each other.
Diagonal Lashing
The Diagonal Lashing Knot (ABOK # 2115, p 343.) is used to lash two spars together. Unlike the Square lashing which works for right angle crossings, the diagonal lashing secures poles crossing each other at a variety of angles. | eng | d591d5f0-acff-4118-8971-f250eae7abe5 | https://www.troop97newcity.org/copy-of-merit-badges |

Secure sockets layer SSL Stands for secure sockets layer. Protocol for web browsers and servers that allows for the authentication, encryption and decryption of data sent over the Internet.
Learn the ins and outs of SSL (Secure Sockets Layer). From understanding what it stands for to its importance in online security, this post covers all of your SSL needs!
What is SSL used for? Typically, SSL is used to secure credit card transactions, data transfer and logins, and more recently is becoming the norm when securing browsing of social media sites. SSL Certificates bind together: A domain name, server name or hostname. An organizational identity (i.e. company name) and location.
How does an SSL work? The web server sends the browser/server a copy of its SSL certificate. … If so, it sends a message to the web server. The web server sends back a digitally signed acknowledgement to start an SSL encrypted session. Encrypted data is shared between the browser/server and the web server.
Do I need SSL? WithoutWhat happens if you don't have SSL? If you don't have an SSL certificate, your website may still function as always, but it will be vulnerable to hackers and Google will warn visitors that your website is not secure. Google also gives priority to websites that have an SSL | eng | 0add06ed-fada-4b99-9b7a-714ca98c6285 | https://wowhostingreview.com/what-ssl-stands-for/ |

How does wage-related discrimination occur?
Sometimes workplace discrimination is obvious. Your employer may deny you a promotion you have earned or perks of employment that other workers enjoy with no problems. However, in your case, you may not have noticed until recently that your employer is not paying you what you deserve for your job, yet other employees with similar jobs are receiving higher pay.
This is an example of wage-related discrimination. Some employers commit this action on the basis of a worker's gender, race, color, age, disability, religion, or another distinguishing characteristic. The EEOC describes how wage-related discrimination may happen.
Job content
Someone at work may tell you that you are not entitled to the same pay since your job does not have the same title as another employee with a similar job. However, this may not be the case at all. The federal government determines wage discrimination has occurred if your employer is not paying you the same as someone with equal job content, not just someone with an identical job.
Types of pay
Someone may also tell you that federal law only covers forms of pay like your salary or overtime pay. The truth is that federal anti-discrimination law covers all types of pay. Your employer can be guilty of discriminating against you by not offering you the same stock options as someone who performed a similar job, or for not reimbursing you for travel, gasoline or hotel costs related to your work. Wage discrimination laws also cover vacation and holiday payments.
Multiple laws may apply
Depending on your situation, one or more laws may apply to you. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 forbids workplaces to pay men and women differently for performing the same work. The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 does not allow employers to discriminate against disabled workers. The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 penalizes discrimination based on your genetic information.
Some laws offer greater protections. If Title VII or the ADA applies to your case, these laws do not require your job to be substantially equal to other jobs in your workplace. If you know what laws may cover you, you should have a better understanding of how to pursue a case against your employer. | eng | 41732aac-f578-4234-b607-c7383cd70fa5 | https://www.billhornlaw.com/blog/2021/11/how-does-wage-related-discrimination-occur/ |

Why Did Chester Limp on Gunsmoke? The Untold Story Revealed Through Exclusive Research
Gunsmoke, the television Western series that ran from 1955-1975 and still airs today, created some iconic characters we cherish today. Chester Goode became an instantaneous favorite among viewers due to Dennis Weaver's portrayal as Marshal Matt Dillon's faithful deputy with an endearing personality, yet mysterious limp that many were intrigued by and sought answers about from critics and audiences.
In this article, we'll investigate why Gunsmoke creators decided to give Chester Goode an unforgettable limp, as well as their intentions – whether artistic or real-world. Additionally, Dennis Weaver used it as part of the actor who brought Chester to life to enhance both the depth and appeal of Chester Goode's character.
What Drives Chester's Limp: Artistic Freedom or Real-life Influences?
One possible explanation for Chester's distinctive limp could have been intentional on behalf of its creators and Dennis Weaver himself.

Another theory suggests the limp may have originated due to real injuries experienced by Dennis Weaver.

Conclusion
Ultimately, Dennis Weaver limped in Gunsmoke due to an unfortunate horseback riding incident from when he was younger. Despite initial reservations by show directors about Weaver's portrayal, which earned an Emmy nomination and contributed significantly to its success. Furthermore, Weaver decided to incorporate his limp into Chester's backstory adding depth and authenticity while remaining true to portrayal as often overshadowed by Marshal Matt Dillon himself.
Gunsmoke's character of Chester stands as an embodiment of inclusivity and authenticity in storytelling. Instead of shying away from Weaver's physical differences, his writers and directors embraced them to enrich his character development, adding more realism while at the same time emphasizing representational equality on screen. Giving an opportunity to a disabled actor like Weaver helped Gunsmoke broaden our concept of heroism as it challenged traditional notions of heroism while broadening what constitutes being "strong."
Overall, Chester's limp is more than just another plot point in an iconic television series; it serves as an important reminder of the power of diversity and validation within entertainment media. In a world that so frequently excludes and erases people with disabilities from mainstream narratives and characters like Gunsmoke who depict Chester as a fully realized character despite an accident-induced limp is an example of progressive storytelling that stands the test of time and represents inclusivity within culture at large.

[…] a now-deleted update to the electric carmaker's terms of service said the firm could sue customers for $50,000 or more if they resell during the first year of ownership without first getting written permission from Tesla. The provision seemed designed to deter scalping for a car expected to be available only in limited quantities after CEO Elon Musk's statement that Tesla "dug our own grave with the Cybertruck."
The Pin isn't always recording or even listening for a wake word, instead requiring you to manually activate it in some way. It has a "Trust Light," which blinks on whenever the Pin is recording.
Might not make a difference for people as long as it's pointing at them and could be recording, but you made it sound like it always is. I also don't find it desirable in any way, especially with that subscription price tag.
I do get the idea of having a different device form factor for an AI device, but I don't think we're there yet for what AI can do. Still interesting through.
And what Facebook TV/camera device are you talking about? The Quest 3? Or Ray ban glasses?
Telegram has some nice features and I can understand that people want to go away from WhatsApp, but as you said it doesn't even have end to end encryption and additionally belongs to some Russian. How's that a beginning?
If you're already switching, why not go to matrix or signal instead if they are, as you said yourself, most likely the better choice? If you're switching because of the features, okay. But switching, because of privacy concerns or the company behind it makes absolutely no sense imo.
I'll take back the the "Russian" comment, then. I already mentioned the larger feature set of telegram and it's totally fine to switch because of that.
I'm also aware of the optionally encrypted chats, but them not being the default, as well as being more cumbersome to use and without a notification preview means that basically no one uses it (at least in my experience).
As I understand it the feature set wasn't the reason for switching so I'm curious in what areas telegram might be considered the better choice compared to Signal/Matrix or even WhatsApp. As I see it it's missing e2e encryption and isn't as wide spread as WhatsApp.
Telegram has also some big issues with misinformation and conspiracy stuff due to its "hidden communities" and social media aspect with broadcasting and gigantic groups. I personally know people that have been sucked into this and it makes me quite sad.
So I'd be working hard to convince people to switch (which I've actually done already with telegram when it first came out) with no real upside and mostly downsides.
I mean… people buying it are fools and we don't know if anyone has actually done so. The person selling it might be an idiot, but is it foolish to ask for money? Doesn't hurt, especially if you need it desperately.
Let me introduce you to WordStar 4.0, a popular word processor from the early 80s. As
. – George R. R. Martin
There's just way too many articles being posted where at best the headline only implies something that isn't actually true and at worst just plainly lies.
The funny thing is, even the article itself is often already correcting the headline, but I can't imagine that more than 10% are actually reading every one, which means there's a constant stream of misinformation being broadcasted. Not every one of these has high stakes, but still.
Yeah I'm with you on that one. I often feel like I might get it wrong and it's generally best to keep the original. More often than not the answer is probably to just not post the article at all, if the headline is misleading and the actual news is far from newsworthy.
There's a difference between clickbait and misleading though. It probably often overlaps, but headlines can be clickbait without being misleading: "Doctors hate this one trick" isn't really giving you wrong information. "Signal Denies Existence of Zero-Day Vulnerability on the App", however, strongly implies that Signal has a security flaw that it stubbornly refuses to fix, which harms the reputation of the App and isn't at all true if you read the actual article.
That's the main issue I'm having with these headlines. They're not just annoying, they're spreading misinformation.
I've seen a few bot-tldrs and while I really appreciate the idea, I'm not sure if they achieve that 100%. The summary is often a bit long (sometimes just as long as the article) and as I understand it the one I see most often is grabbing sentences and stitching them together, which is nice since it keeps the actual content, but it can be a bit awkward to read.
Maybe yours is working differently, I think generally speaking it'd be best to have one paragraph summarizing the article (chatGPT-style), or having a tool that creates new headlines based on the content and replaces the actual headline itself.
Even with the perfect summary, there's still the issue that people have to look at the comments to see it. I'd imagine most people just scroll past the post itself.
It's definitely worth having that bot and I think it's great that you're putting the work in. It just doesn't fix all the "misleading headlines" issues if people don't even look at the comments or don't read the (not super short) summary.
Even Meta themselves said they want to "build the metaverse", at that point the word still had a somewhat clear definition. It then became a bullshit buzzword and lost all meaning. Now even Meta is using the word as a synonym for "VR" or "Multiplayer", which has nothing to do with the snow crash definition of the word.
The word is meaningless, nothing like the metaverse as described in snowcrash ever existed. If you're talking about a multiplayer game that tries to mimic the real word then you're right. But that's not what the metaverse actually is…or what the word stood for, before being ripped to shreds as a buzzword.
There is no metaverse. There's VR games and multiplayer games, and metaverse became a word for anything that remotely touched any of these or that's even remotely vaguely related. 3D assets → metaverse. Online game → metaverse. Video call → metaverse.
If you're talking about Horizon Worlds, that's a multiplayer game/social experience. Nothing about this is a "metaverse" as it is described in the book where that word came from.
The news isn't a surprise as Unity angered a lot of its loyal game developers a few weeks ago after pushing through a price increase based on numbers of downloads — and then retracted it after an uproar.
That word has become meaningless, it's being attached to anything related to multiplayer, 3D, VR, or a hundred other things. It's a buzzword that doesn't mean anything anymore. They're not even sure if it's already there or if they have yet to create it.
The unit is called "Facebook Agile Silicon Team" and the division is called "Reality Labs". They're working on custom silicon for VR/AR devices (or used to). Afaict that word comes from Reuters and is not being used inside meta in this context.
Yeah you're right, it's useless to question the usage of that word, it's a lost cause. I liked the word and concept before meta took it over, which is why it still annoys me every time I see it. But I should just let it go.
Yes, they are quite different. But it's also the two products that most people will know or have heard of and they may look the same to many not familiar with AR/VR. At the very least for them it's an interesting comparison.
Completely reasonable stand point, due to meta being meta. Depends on what you're looking for, for standalone VR, Quest has sadly been the only real option for a long time. And unless the company behind it is the only factor, Quest is still the best option with the price, hardware, and game library.
Others are slowly creeping up, the main one being Pico, but that has it's own issues. Which one did you have in mind? | eng | 550efedb-fd06-462d-aecd-3c87770a66e8 | https://kbin.melroy.org/u/@fer0n@lemm.ee |
Who Invented English Football: What Happened Before 1863
The invention of English football dates back more than a century. In 1863, rugby football split into two distinct courses in England. The Football Association became the world's first football association. Both forms of English football have a common origin and a long and intricately branched family tree. At least a half-dozen games existed in their early history, varying in different ways. The historical development of the invention of English football is related and has been traced back 2000 years.
In some cases, this can be disputed. However, playing with the feet has existed for thousands of years, and there is no reason to think it is an aberration of the more "natural" play with hands. Furthermore, many different games were played in their early history in varying degrees, from which football evolved and is related.
Where Was Football Invented
Scientific evidence dates back to the 2nd and 3rd centuries B.C. when football techniques were exhibited in China. Among the physical education exercises found in a Han Dynasty military manual is "Tsu Chu."
The feat consisted of kicking a leather ball filled with feathers and hair into a net attached to a bamboo cane through a narrow opening, which demanded superior skill. There was also a variation of this exercise. To counter his opponents' attacks, the player had to use his feet, chest, back, and shoulders to aim at his target. Hands were not allowed.
In the Far East, there was also a variation of today's game called Japanese Kemari. That game can be traced back to the 5th to 6th centuries. It's essentially a type of circular football game, it's much less spectacular, but that makes it more dignified and ceremonious.
It requires some skill, but it's not competitive, or even close to it, in the way Chinese games were. The players had to pass the ball in a relatively small space without touching the ground, like hacky sack.
Greek And Roman Games
There is relatively little record of the Greek game Episkyros, but the Roman game Harpastum was more exciting. Each team played on a rectangular field marked by boundary lines and a centerline with a smaller ball. The aim was for the ball to pass over the opponents' lines.
It was a game filled with trickery and passing the ball between players.
Team members were assigned specific tactical assignments, and spectators followed the proceedings with intense interest. Feet played such a minimal role in this game that their significance was negligible. Thus, even though it was introduced to England by the Romans, the game may not have been the forerunner of modern football.
The same holds for hurling, another popular Celtic game played in Cornwall and Ireland. Again, there is a possibility that influences were asserted, but the decisive development of the game of football in which we are present today occurred in England and Scotland.
Early UK Football
In the British Isles, football flourished from the 8th to the 19th centuries and had a variety of local and regional forms that were subsequently streamlined and modernized to become the present-day games of association football and rugby football.
Compared to all previously known forms, they were much more disorganized, violent, spontaneous, and an indefinite number of players usually played them. There were often heated contests among whole villages or townships – across streets, village squares, fields, hedges, fences, and streams.
Almost anything was allowed, including kicking.
However, due to the weight and size of the ball used in some of these games, kicking was impossible. Instead, opponents were fallen by kicking. Standard ball size and weight were not established until nine years after the football rules were set up for the first time in 1863.
Usually, the teams involved reached an agreement on this point when they arranged the match, as was the case when London and Sheffield played in 1866. A one-and-a-half-hour duration was set for the game for the first time in its history.
According to an ancient handbook, any method, aside from murder or manslaughter, could be utilized to get the ball to its target during Shrovetide football. Some areas still play Shrovetide football today on Shrove Tuesday, for example, Ashbourne in Derbyshire.
However, it is evident that it is no longer as riotous as it once was, nor are there the same number of casualties as centuries ago.
Origins In England
The origins of football are reputed to be Anglo-Saxon, and its first appearance is the subject of many legends. According to legend, in the cities of Chester and Kingston-on-Thames, football was first played using the severed head of a vanquished Danish prince.
However, a victory celebration following a battle against the Romans is believed to have given rise to Derbyshire much earlier, in the 3rd century.
The Anglo-Saxon theory appears to conflict with specific facts, despite Kingston and Chester's legends. The fact that it is not mentioned in early Anglo-Saxon literature or Saxon areas nor on the continent shows that it was not played at this time. It was only a Celtic ball game that was known before the Norman Conquest.
Did France Invent Football?
In the early centuries of this century, people in France, particularly in Normandy and Brittany, were playing a very similar game to the aforementioned "mob football" (also referred to as Folk Football) in the British Isles. As such, it is entirely plausible that the Normans brought this form of the game to England.
These theories produce a picture that is quite bewildering in its complexity – an image that is far more complex than the simple rules that govern this kind of game if they could even be called rules.
Although scholars disagree about who invented English football and the influences that certain cults may have had on its development, one thing is sure: association football has flourished in England and the British Isles for over a thousand years.
As a result of the string of prohibitions and censures, both harsh and mild, there was an immense amount of enthusiasm for football, despite it being so often frowned upon by the authorities. Moreover, despite their condemnation and threats of severe punishment, the country's leaders and high offices failed to stop it repeatedly.
Banning Football In The UK
A proclamation was issued by the Lord Mayor of London in 1314 forbidding football in London due to the uproar it usually caused. Anyone breaking this law would be imprisoned. Football was regarded as a nuisance by King Edward III in 1331, who passed harsh regulations to suppress it. The French government also took similar measures.
England and France were at war for 100 years between 1338 and 1453, and the court was also opposed to association football, though for different reasons.
Henry IV, Edward III, Richard II, and Henry V made football illegal because the popular pastime prevented their subjects from practicing more useful military disciplines, the most important of which was archery in the English army.
Calcio
In Elizabethan times, football was especially popular. Probably one of the most critical influences in intensifying the native popularity for the game came from Renaissance Italy, which created their brand of football known as Calcio. It was, undoubtedly, more organized than the English version.
For example, during the gala events in Florence held during particular holidays, teams dressed in colored livery played the game.
As always, the game in England was rough, ungracious, and lacking in refinement. Yet, it was also supported by a leading figure who was moved by the players' simple joy as they chased the ball. Richard Mulcaster, who headed the prestigious schools of Merchant Taylor's and St. Paul's, was one of football's supporters.
Adding to its positive educational value and health benefits, he pointed out that the game promoted strength. However, a little refinement and a better manner were all that was needed, according to him. Among his ideas was to limit the number of participants in each team and, more importantly, to have a stricter referee.
There had been a lot of practical reasons for the resentment of association football until this point. Public disturbances resulting in property damage had been regarded as the cause of the game. For example, in 1608, Manchester was again banned from football due to smashed windows.
16th Century Football
In the 16th century, football was attacked in a new way. After the spread of Puritanism, amusements such as sport, mainly football, were classified as frivolous amusements. Thus, according to the complaint, it violated the Sabbath.
Theatres were similarly attacked by Puritans, who saw them as places of idleness and iniquity. As a result, entertainment was prohibited on Sundays during the Commonwealth and Puritanical eras that followed (even though Oliver Cromwell was a football enthusiast in his youth).
After that, Sunday football became taboo. Despite this, the ban remained in place for some 300 years before finally being lifted unofficially and then formally with the consent of the Football Association.
Despite all these obstacles, football could not be eradicated. A good example is Derby. Football was banned from the streets of the town beginning in 1731 and continuing until 1841. The only way to stop the game was to resort to riot laws.
For almost five hundred years, association football hardly progressed. Despite persistent bans for 500 years, the game was never totally eradicated. This resulted in it remaining essentially rough, violent, and disorganized.
The first significant change occurred in the 19th century, when school football became the norm, particularly in prestigious public schools. It was a pivotal moment. Innovations and refinements to the game were possible in this new environment.
19th Century Football
Due to the lack of a standard, organized football format, each school developed its adaptation, which differed significantly. Football's traditional aspects were retained, but the playing surface determined innovations.
Mob football was not allowed because there wasn't enough space. Several schools, such as Charterhouse, Westminster, Eton, and Harrow, invented a football game that depended more on dribbling virtuosity than vitality.
Schools such as Cheltenham and Rugby, on the other hand, prefer the wilder games in which the ball can be touched or carried with the hands.
Influence Of Public Schools On Football
When educators realized football wasn't simply a romp for kids but could be educationally beneficial, these early styles were significantly boosted. In addition, it was acknowledged that it provided a valuable distraction from less desirable behaviors, such as heavy drinking and gambling.
In public schools, a "games cult" eventually developed around football. It became evident when the team game encouraged loyalty, selflessness, cooperation, subordination, and deference to the team spirit.
Football became a compulsory part of the school curriculum, as games became an integral part of the curriculum. The head of Rugby School, Dr. Thomas Arnold, went a step further by laying down Rugby rules in 1846, the first standardized rules for a game.
Even so, they were pretty rough. For example, kicking an opponent's legs below the knees was permitted, but he could not be held still while his shins were worked on. Players could also handle the ball.
Rugby vs. Football
Rugby's rules were adopted by many schools. Harrow, Winchester, and Eton rejected this form of association football and instead encouraged kicking the ball. Carrying the ball was also prohibited. Westminster and Charterhouse also opposed handling the ball. They did not isolate their style of play as some schools did but instead formed a nucleus from which it began to spread.
After former pupils at Cambridge University had tried in 1848 to find a common denominator between all the different versions of the game, a new initiative began in 1863 to establish some uniform standards and rules that everyone could agree on.
The majority of those present spoke out against rough customs such as tripping, shin-kicking, etc., and carrying the ball. This prompted the Rugby representation to threaten withdrawal. However, they were adamant about carrying the ball despite their agreement not to kick their shins, which was later banned by Rugby regulations.
This meeting in Cambridge aimed to clear up the utter confusion surrounding the rules. Finally, after several conferences organized in London at the end of the same year, a decisive step was taken.
English Football Association
The Freemason's Tavern hosted eleven London football clubs and schools on 26 October 1863. They intended to clear up the confusion by establishing fundamental rules governing all of the matches played among the parties. Thus, the Football Association was born at this meeting.
Shin-kicking, tripping, and carrying the ball were the subjects of intense discussion at this and subsequent meetings until the die-hards gave up on the Rugby style. It was unlikely that they would win anyway.
They were not interested in playing a game that prohibited tripping, shin-kicking, and carrying the ball. The ideals had no longer been compatible. Finally, the game of football and rugby split in 1863. Six years later, the separation became irreconcilable when a provision was incorporated into the football rules that prohibited any ball handling (not only carrying the ball).
The Football Association had 50 member football clubs just eight years after its founding. This was the year of the first-ever football competition, the F.A. Cup, 17 years before the League Championship.
Great Britain staged international matches before European football was even heard of. English and Scottish players met for the first time in 1872. In the wake of this sudden boom of organized modern football accompanied by staggering numbers of spectators, specific problems were introduced with which other countries had not previously dealt.
Professionalism In Football
One of them was professionalism. It all started in 1879, when Darwen FC, a small Lancashire club, twice drew with the supposedly invincible Old Etonians in the F.A. Cup before they lost at the third attempt.
Darwin players John Love and Fergus Suter are reported to be the first to receive remuneration for their association football talents. Nonetheless, this practice increased, and the Football Association was compelled to legalize professionalism by 1885.
The following three oldest Football Associations are the Scottish F.A. (1873), the F.A. of Wales (1875), and the Irish FA (1880). At the first international match, England had no other partner association to face. The Scottish F.A. did not even exist when Scotland and England played in Glasgow on 30 November 1872 – it wasn't founded until three months later.
Modern Football Outside Great Britain
Because of the influence of the British abroad, modern football spread slowly outside of Great Britain but soon gathered momentum and spread rapidly throughout the world.
Following the Netherlands and Denmark in 1889, New Zealand (1891), Argentina (1893), Chile (1895), Switzerland, Belgium (1895), Italy (1898), Germany, Uruguay (both in 1900), Hungary (1901), and Finland (1907) formed their football associations.
France, Belgium, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain (represented by Real Madrid FC), Sweden, and Switzerland formed FIFA in May 1904 in Paris. The German Football Federation also announced its intention to join the same day.
The number of countries reached 51 in 1938, and by 1950, after the Second World War, 73 countries were included. FIFA currently has 209 members worldwide as of 2022.
Conclusion
Today, football is played by millions of people worldwide and is considered one of the most popular and beloved sports in the world. Unfortunately, due to a lack of records, it is almost impossible to reconcile who invented football.
The modern version of the game, however, has its roots in England, where it was developed in the 19th century, and the Football Association established the first set of rules for the game in 1863. | eng | 00b7132c-d0d7-4a6c-8f6e-0952c10f3e32 | https://historyofsoccer.info/who-invented-english-football |

Chapter 29 - 200 Years Ago Perfected Heng Xia
Because she liked to wear Daoist robes, and her immortal aura fluttered about, her temperament extraordinary, the people of the world called her Perfected Hengxia.
Under the prestige of Perfected Hengxia, the Immortal Dawn Sect rapidly expanded and continuously sent disciples to wipe out those small sects that often caused chaos and pacified the world.
In a short few decades, the Immortal Dawn Sect became the worlds strongest sect.
Even those top sects with over a thousand years of heritage could only be ranked below the Immortal Dawn Sect.
There were even rumors that Perfected Hengxias martial arts had reached the level of a Land Deity. It was unfathomable and invincible.
There were even many citizens who spontaneously built Daoist Hengxias temple and worshiped her as a deity.
Such might and fame could be said to be at the peak of perfection.
It was unprecedented in the past thousands of years!
However, a hundred years ago, for some unknown reason, the Immortal Dawn Sect suddenly declared the mountain to be sealed. Occasionally, a few disciples would descend the mountain. However, they all kept a low profile and never made any public appearances. Furthermore, they would quickly return to the mountain after that.
There was no more news of Perfected Hengxia.
"Perfected Hengxia hasnt shown her face since the Immortal Dawn Sect sealed the mountain a hundred years ago?" Cui Heng frowned slightly. He could more or less confirm now that this so-called Perfected Hengxia should be Jiang Qiqi who had mastered the Immortal Sword Art.
Whether it was the characteristics of her martial arts skills or her style of doing things, everything matched.
"Ive never heard of it." The old man shook his head and said, "Rumor has it that since a hundred years ago, Perfected Hengxia seemed to have vanished into thin air and never showed her face again. Some also said that Perfected Hengxia had already passed away in meditation."
She passed away from old age?
Cui Heng shook his head lightly and said in a low voice, "Are there any rumors about the reason why the Immortal Dawn Sect sealed the mountain?"
When he was composing the [Immortal Dawn Sword Art], he had combined a lot of immortal cultivation concepts, so the lifespan extension function was definitely not bad. Even if she only cultivated it to the ninth layer of the Qi Refinement Stage, she could still live for more than 200 years.
A mere hundred years was not enough time for her to pass away.
"There are a lot of rumors about this." The old man thought for a while and said, "Some say that its because Perfected Hengxia passed away in meditation, and the Immortal Dawn Sect is worried about being besieged by various large sects and aristocratic families.
"There were also those who said that the Great Jin Imperial Court did not allow such a powerful sect to exist, so they joined forces with the top sects and great clans to force the Immortal Dawn Sect to seal off the mountain. There were also those who said that the Immortal Dawn Sect wanted to pursue the path of Immortal Ascension and sealed off the mountain to cultivate.
"In short, there are all sorts of different opinions. There are no accurate explanations."
"You said you had a secret manual that was stolen from the sect 50 years ago?" Cui Heng asked again.
"This… I was bragging." How would the old man still dared to lie at this time? He hurriedly explained, "After the Immortal Dawn Sect sealed the mountain, there would occasionally be disciples leaving the mountain, but they would return very quickly.
"Before returning to the mountain, some disciples will compile their own sword techniques into secret manuals and leave them at the foot of the mountain. This is the kind of secret manual that I obtained. It can be cultivated to the Xiantian realm.
"In order to steal the secret manual, my master and fellow disciples killed my parents. So when my martial arts skills became good enough, I exterminated his entire family!"
As he finished speaking, the old mans face was filled with killing intent.
However, he quickly noticed what kind of expert was sitting in front of him. He hastily restrained his emotions and lowered his head, laughing awkwardly. | eng | 83b84dcf-813e-488d-b8b4-f2deb429a967 | https://www.videosdelbetis.com/read/vid-Realizing-This-Is-A-Wuxia-World-After-Cultivating-For-Years-7315808/29_2 |

Retrieving duties in an age that needs them
Coupling them with human rights, as Mohandas Gandhi believed, requires us to delve into tradition while reinventing it for our times.

IN 1947, Julian Huxley, English evolutionary theorist and director general of UNESCO, wrote Mohandas Gandhi to ask what he thought of human rights.
"I learnt from my illiterate but wise mother," he replied, "that all rights to be deserved and preserved came from duty well done.
Thus, the very right to live accrues to us only when we do the duty of citizenship of the world."
A few months after his exchange with Huxley, Gandhi was dead. Assassinated in January 1948, he did not live to see the Universal Declaration of Human Rights passed by the United Nations General Assembly in December of the same year. In our own age, in which human rights politics have finally come into their own, his emphasis on duties looks downright idiosyncratic.
As a result, we are now very familiar with the claim that all humans everywhere have rights; much less so, however, with the notion that rights are protected by the fulfillment of duties. Thirty years ago, when the human rights movement was in its infancy, philosopher Onora O'Neill complained that there was "no Universal Declaration of Human Duties and no international Human Obligations Movements."
Nothing has changed this imbalance.
This marginalization of duties has grave consequences not only for rights protection itself. More importantly, even the most generous attempts to protect the political and socioeconomic rights of individuals leave some duties of individuals to their own states and all humanity out of account, as well as some duties of states to one another.
After all, not all duties that morality might impose follow from individual rights.
If the state has a duty to provide housing and food, do individuals have a duty to pay taxes to ensure it can do so? If inequality increases locally and globally, is it best to frame it as an indirect violation of a right ‒ there being no right to fair distribution ‒ or as a rationale to impose on individuals, corporations and states a duty to contribute to a just society? If the planet overheats, is the remedy a personal right to a healthy environment or a collective duty to nature? Such questions force us to reconsider our traditions.
One source is traditional religion, which is our main source for thinking about duties over the millennia.
Judaism, a founder of human rights law Louis Henkin explained, "knows not rights but duties." We can investigate old sources with the proviso that a call for duties cannot mean the reinstatement of the domination and hierarchy that religion has so often propped up.
There are secular traditions, too, starting with the republican one that emphasized duties of citizenship, however marred these traditions were by their own hierarchies ‒ not to mention the fact that, from Roman times through World War I, a main point of duties was to find soldiers for war.
Traditions of duty have been seriously compromised by their mistakes. But Gandhi was right: They can inspire us to invent our own traditions, so as to transform an age of rights into a new age of duties for a burning | eng | 7720d280-ce40-400c-aabd-bd4bcb80f382 | https://www.jpost.com/jerusalem-report/retrieving-duties-in-an-age-that-needs-them-498025 |

There's no shortage of toppings you can use on homemade breakfast pizza, but you'll want to select the healthiest options that are high in nutrients and low in calories for the most important meal of the day.
You can never go wrong with vegetarian pizza toppings and high-protein options like eggs or nuts. Some healthy choices you can try out include:
Eggs
Eggs are high in protein and are an excellent choice for pizza for breakfast. They also pair well as a tortilla topping.
No one likes dry eggs, so keep them on the soft side when adding them to your pizza to ensure they don't get rubbery or overcooked. Leave them wet when scrambling since they'll go into the hot oven with the pizza.
Tofu
If you've never scrambled tofu on your pizza, you should try it on your breakfast pizza. Tofu is a protein powerhouse and will complement the flavors of your pizza ingredients.
It's an excellent alternative to meat options like bacon, sausage, and pepperoni.
Black Beans
Black beans are filled with non-meat protein and antioxidants. They're rich in fiber which will help in your blood sugar levels and digestion.
You can add them to your breakfast pizza to bulk up the protein and fiber content for a super-filling breakfast.
Black Olives
Black olives are briny, salty, and one of the best healthy pizza toppings for breakfast.
The flavor of the olive spreads throughout the pizza transforming the full flavor and texture and giving it a salty kick.
Sweet Potato
You can add heartiness and depth to your pizza with chunks of sweet potatoes.
They pair well with pureed vegetables and cauliflower crust and are a great energy source rich in nutrients that control your blood sugar while promoting your overall health.
Spinach
A serving of leafy greens daily is recommended, and pizza for breakfast can be a delicious vehicle to ensure you get the nutrients you need early in the morning.
The flavor of fresh spinach complements the natural pizza flavor perfectly. It tastes great whether you steam it a little before adding it to the pizza or want to eat it raw.
Broccoli
Adding broccoli to your pizza is a no-brainer if you're a veggie lover.
It roasts up nicely in the oven and can provide many health benefits. It's rich in protein and fiber and contains calcium, potassium, and iron.
Peppers
Peppers are a jack of all trades in meals. No matter the color, they taste fantastic on your pizza.
They can provide a sweet, savory flavor to your pizza while adding color and crunchiness to every bite. You can roast them or add them as fresh toppings.
Garlic and Onions
You can never go wrong with garlic if you're looking for tons of flavor without added calories or fat. It's very fragrant and one of the best toppings for any pizza.
Onions are the next best thing after garlic, and they roast up nicely when baked in the oven to add a sweet, savory taste to your pizza. Raw, cooked, sliced, or diced onions make an excellent topping.
Figs
Figs are full of nutrients and vitamins like calcium, magnesium, vitamin K, iron, potassium, and manganese and pair beautifully with savory and salty flavors.
If you've never tried figs with cheese or honey on pizza, you're in for a treat.
Mushrooms
Mushrooms are meaty and earthy, and low in calories. You should try them on your pizza for breakfast, even if you're not a mushroom enthusiast.
The mushroom flavor is divine when combined with other pizza ingredients and can be an excellent substitute for processed meats for that extra texture.
Butternut Squash
Butternut squash is an iconic fall veggie. It's not only healthy but delicious and makes a fantastic pizza topping full of color and fiber.
It's savory and sweet and can pair well with other autumn toppings. Roasting the squash beforehand will give your pizza a mouthwatering caramelized flavor.
Walnuts
Walnuts help in boosting metabolism and are a rich source of calcium, iron, zinc, and potassium.
They pack significantly higher amounts of omega fatty acids than other nuts and are delicious when paired with other ingredients on the pizza.
Sprinkle some on your breakfast pizza for added earthiness, texture, and crunch.
Pesto
Pesto can completely transform the flavor of your pizza for the better. You can drizzle fresh and nutty pesto on your pizza as a topping or sauce.
Store-bought pesto can feature plenty of olive oil, so be sure to use it sparingly and make some at home to control the amount of fat and oil in the recipe.
Breakfast Pizza Instructions
Making homemade breakfast pizza can seem intimidating and daunting, but with a short ingredient list and a pre-made crust, it can come together in a snap.
Pizza for breakfast should feature most of your favorite breakfast items, and there are many variations of breakfast pizza recipes.
Here are some excellent, readily available ingredients for an easy breakfast pizza recipe:
1 pizza crust tube
1 package of ground sausage
5 large eggs
Veggies: ½ an onion, 4 cloves garlic, and ½ a pepper
¼ cup of butter, flour
1 cup of milk
1 cup of cheese
1/2 a teaspoon of salt
Step 1: Prebake your pizza crust to prepare for your favorite toppings. Here is an excellent homemade pizza crust recipe that rivals any delivery pizza and can be ready in 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 2: With a pan over medium heat, add your onion, sausage, garlic, peppers, and salt. Ensure the veggies get tender and the sausage changes color.
Step 3: Add the butter to the same pan and melt it. After it's melted, sprinkle the flour slowly and whisk. Keep stirring and cook over medium heat for 2 minutes.
Step 4: Whisk in the milk slowly while stirring until the mixture is a consistent thick pudding.
Step 5: Break the eggs into a small bowl on the table and whisk them until they are properly mixed.
Step 6: Pour the eggs into the pan and cook, ensuring they only get soft instead of runny.
Step 7: Transfer the pan from the heat, spread the egg mixture into the prebaked pizza crust evenly, sprinkle the cooked veggies and sausage, and top the pizza with the cheese.
Step 8: Bake the topped pizza in a preheated oven and cook for about 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown. Once ready, let it cool for a few minutes, then transfer it to the table and slice and serve! Easy peasy.
You can play around with the ingredients and make it entirely vegetarian, dairy-free, or gluten-free with the instructions or follow this excellent vegetarian pizza recipe.
Tips For Making Breakfast Pizza
Use homemade crust instead of store-bought variations. Making it is easy and will taste way better than the store-bought one. Best of all, you control all the ingredients to ensure you're making a healthy meal.
Prepare some ingredients the night before. You can shred the cheese, cut the veggies or whisk the eggs and store everything separately so you can quickly bring it all together in the morning in a matter of minutes.
Experiment with different variations depending on your preferences or needs. Spinach or mushrooms can make great veggie additions, and you can use different types of cheese or swap sausage with bacon.
Try out a whole-wheat crust or a whole-wheat pita as a base and get creative with the toppings, putting in lots of veggies, herbs, and fiber for a nutritious and filling breakfast.
Serve the pizza with something else on the side, like a fruit, beverage, or salad. You can even swap out the sauce for avocado. Simply mash and mix it with garlic or oil, spread it over the pizza crust like a sauce, and add the cheese plus toppings. You can even simply slice and dice it and create a salad with tomatoes as the pizza bakes in the oven.
Pizza is simply a flatbread at its core, so don't shy away from using any kind of flatbread like pita or naan as the base. Simply add your veggies, meat, or eggs to the flatbread and sprinkle some cheese for a palate-pleasing combo.
Conclusion
There's no longer a line between what we eat at specific times of day, and nothing is stopping you from having pizza for breakfast as a healthy and nutritious meal.
One of the most common reasons you would avoid pizza for breakfast is that it can be unhealthy, but if you choose the right ingredients and toppings, it can be healthier than cereal. | eng | e6649a51-be68-4990-b771-769afac4c4ba | https://www.tonightwepizza.com/breakfast-pizza-recipe/ |

What is the least desirable Corvette?
My opinion is that 1984 is the least desirable. Although I like the redesign, it wandered away from the very 'exaggerated' design elements that the Corvette brand was known for. The suspension was unforgiving, albeit track-worthy, and it had barely more than 200 horses under the hood.
What is the ugliest Corvette?
1998 Pace Car This car is often given the title of the Corvette's "ugliest model."
What is the most sought after Corvette?
Most Expensive Corvettes Ever Sold

1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Corvette Convertible ($3.4 million)
1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Coupe ($3.85 million)
What is the most undesirable Corvette?
1953 C1. It is almost painful to admit, but upon the Corvette's launch in 1953, there was a lot of room for improvement.
1954 C1. The 1954 Corvette featured essentially the same shortcomings as the year prior.
1958 C1.
1975 Base Model.
1979 L48 Corvette.
1980 California 305 Corvettes.

Are Corvettes expensive to insure?
The average rate of car insurance for Chevrolet Corvette is relatively expensive at $1,680 per year. Compared to other models, Chevrolet Corvette is expensive to insure and costs roughly $252 per year more than the national average. However, the premiums vary based on your company and model year.

Ketamine for Personal Growth
Table of Contents
In the realm of personal growth and mental health, innovative treatments are emerging that challenge traditional paradigms. One such treatment is ketamine therapy for personal growth. Treatment employs using low doses of ketamine, a dissociative anesthetic drug, to address a range of mental health issues and promote personal development. The transformative potential of ketamine therapy is beginning to be recognized in the medical community, offering a new approach to personal development and mental health treatment.
Understanding Personal Growth
Personal growth, also recognized as self-improvement or self-growth, encompasses a multitude of strategies aimed at enhancing one's patterns, conduct, deeds, and responses. It's a continuous journey that necessitates motivation, an aspiration for betterment, and a readiness to embrace change. Personal growth can bring about improvements in all facets of your life, from your profession to your relationships, by altering your mindset, broadening your understanding and self-perception, honing existing abilities, and cultivating new ones.
Personal growth is about becoming a better version of oneself. It involves setting and working towards personal goals, developing positive habits, and building emotional intelligence. It's about understanding oneself better, improving interpersonal relationships, and becoming more effective in one's personal and professional life.
Ketamine and Personal Growth
Ketamine therapy is a treatment strategy that utilizes minimal doses of ketamine to tackle a spectrum of mental health challenges, such as treatment-resistant depression, anxiety-related disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The mechanism of ketamine therapy involves the suppression of a key neural component, the NMDA receptor, which plays a significant role in regulating emotional state, thought processes, and pain sensitivity. The therapy is known for its rapid antidepressant effects, with many patients observing significant improvements in their condition within a short span ranging from a few hours to a couple of days after treatment.
Ketamine therapy for personal growth goes beyond the treatment of mental health conditions. It's about using the unique properties of ketamine to facilitate a process of self-discovery and personal development. By inducing a state of dissociation, ketamine therapy can help individuals gain new insights into their thoughts, emotions, and experiences, fostering a greater sense of self-awareness and personal growth.
Benefits of Ketamine for Personal Growth
Ketamine therapy for personal growth offers several benefits. It can help individuals break free from negative thought patterns, foster a sense of connection and empathy, and promote a greater sense of self-awareness. By inducing a state of heightened neuroplasticity, ketamine therapy can facilitate the process of unlearning harmful behaviors and thought patterns and replacing them with healthier ones. Moreover, the therapy can provide relief from mental health conditions that often hinder personal growth, such as depression and anxiety.
The benefits of ketamine therapy for personal growth extend beyond the individual. By helping individuals develop a greater sense of self-awareness and emotional intelligence, ketamine therapy can improve interpersonal relationships, enhance productivity and creativity, and contribute to a more positive and fulfilling life.
Ketamine Treatment Protocol for Personal Growth
Typically, the process of ketamine treatment involves one or several sessions of ketamine administration within a clinical environment, all under the watchful eye of a medical professional, and is complemented with both preparatory and integration guidance.
The ketamine treatment protocol for personal growth is personalized to the individual's needs and goals. It often involves discussing the desired outcome the patient wishes to achieve, and what challenges currently prevent them from obtaining their goals. It also involves reviewing post-treatment recommendations to help individuals process their ketamine experience and integrate their insights into their daily life. The goal is to facilitate a process of personal growth and transformation that includes accountability and will lead to lasting changes in one's self-perception, behavior, and overall mental health.
Daytryp Can Help
Ketamine therapy for personal growth is a promising new approach to mental health treatment and personal development. By leveraging the unique properties of ketamine, this therapy can facilitate profound changes in self-perception, behavior, and overall mental health, paving the way for meaningful personal growth.
The potential of ketamine therapy for personal growth is just beginning to be explored. As research continues and our understanding of the transformative potential of ketamine therapy deepens, we can look forward to new developments and applications in the field of personal growth.

Personal growth is unique in that it focuses on self-improvement from an internal perspective. It involves enhancing one's self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and understanding of oneself and others. Unlike academic or professional growth, personal growth is a lifelong journey that encompasses all aspects of life.
Unlike traditional treatments that primarily focus on managing symptoms, ketamine therapy aims to facilitate a transformative process that can lead to lasting changes in self-perception, behavior, and overall mental health. It does this by inducing a state of dissociation that can provide new insights and perspectives.
Ketamine's ability to induce a state of dissociation allows individuals to gain a new perspective on their thoughts, emotions, and experiences. This can foster a greater sense of self-awareness and empathy, which are crucial for personal growth. Furthermore, ketamine enhances neuroplasticity, facilitating the learning of new behaviors and thought patterns.
While ketamine therapy holds promise for personal growth, it's not suitable for everyone. Certain medical conditions, mental health disorders, and medications may contraindicate its use. It's essential to consult with a healthcare professional to discuss potential risks and benefits before considering this treatment option.
A typical session involves receiving a low dose of ketamine under clinician supervision. This is often combined with integration to help individuals process their experiences and learn how to apply their insights into their daily life | eng | 41ebb8f0-25d3-4da1-be1b-107210b77e8f | https://daytryp.com/treatments/ketamine-for-personal-growth/ |

Orbiting the Earth once every 90 minutes from nearly 250 miles up, the International Space Station (ISS) is as much a political achievement as a technological one. The ISS represents the largest peaceful cooperative program human beings have ever conceived and implemented, and it is the most politically complex space program since the space age began in 1957.
Led by the United States, the ISS program started in 1982, with assembly in space beginning in 1998 and the last planned module scheduled for launch this year. The program's international partners -- space agencies in the United States, Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada -- have made a political commitment to coordinate on planning and operations until 2020 in what has become a genuine multinational and multilateral program.
From its conception to its realization, the ISS has been a scientific and technological project with political dynamics, and ISS partner countries continue to give the space station political support for a variety of reasons that bear examining. The ISS also has broader political implications beyond its partner countries, with the examples of Brazil and China being particularly noteworthy. Brazil committed in 1996 to cooperate on the ISS, but did not fulfill its commitment and suffered political consequences as a result. With regard to China, meanwhile, the ISS could play a role in the broader calculus of Sino-American strategic and cooperative relations.

Gilsland Farm
On the shore of the Presumpscot estuary, Gilsland Farm's gentle trails are one of the best places in the Portland area to see wildlife in varied habitats, including meadows, historic gardens, marshes, and forests.
Description
The main trailhead is just outside the visitor center, about 40 feet from the main entrance. From it you can access all the trail spurs and junctions as well as the following principal trail loops:
West Meadow Trail (0.7 miles): The walk encircles the rolling West Meadow with its high bluffs over looking the Presumpscot Estuary and views to the Portland skyline in the distance. Follow the signs from the main trailhead through a small forested wetland and out into the field. Two observation blinds accessible by spur trails provide secluded spots from which to observe wintering waterfowl and flocks of migrant shorebirds. They gather on the mudflats from June through September to feed on the abundant marine life exposed by the tide.
Pond Meadow Trail(0.6 miles): Passing through the greatest diversity of habitat on the sanctuary, the Pond Meadow Trail winds behind both the visitor center and the headquarters building. Pockets of mature red oak and hemlock that date back a century or more are interspersed with stands of red maple, ash, white birch, and trembling aspen. Through the woods just below the apple orchard, the trail leads down to the pond where muskrat and wetland birds live and feed.
North Meadow Trail (1.2 miles): From the turnout halfway down the driveway, bear right through a grave of mature oaks and hemlocks and into the North Meadow. A wide loop around this field offers views reminiscent of the property's farming past. Mowed annually in late fall after the nesting bobolinks and meadowlarks have fledged their young, and sparrows have migrated, this meadow provides winter forage for Canada geese and hunting grounds for birds of prey. The bordering spruce and shrub edges of staghorn sumac, northern arrowwood and speckled alder are good places to observe songbirds.
Other Information
The sanctuary is open to the public year-round from dawn to dusk daily.
Please help ensure an enjoyable visit for all and protect wildlife and its habitat by staying on the trails and carrying out all litter. Pets, fires, firearms, and alcoholic beverages are not allowed.
Maine Audubon works to conserve Maine's wildlife and wildlife habitat by engaging people of all ages in education, conservation, and action. In 1976, Maine Audubon erected its headquarters building on the site at Gilsland Farms as a prototype of energy-effiencent office space heated by solar and wood heat. In 1981 the organization purchased the property's farmhouse, and, in 1995, built the award-winning visitor center using state-of-the-art "green" design and construction techniques.

ROCKMAN HOLIC First anniversary album I've cared about this year, and that's only because I know/like SOUND HOLIC from their other works and can't see them screwing up as bad as the Rockmen. Really liked that track sample that was over at VGMdb.As a disclaimer to my above statement, Skyrim was hands-down one of my favorite OSTs of 2011. The more bombastic stuff from Twilight Symphony just isn't up my alley, but the less pompy songs do sound pretty good. If it was more of a traditional arrange album than a modern Western-sounding fan-album (think along the lines of Hyrule Orchestra) I would have absolutely picked it up. TP has some great music!I think I read that they wrote the music to tell the whole tale. So that in some ways you're supposed to listen to it from start to finish. As I mentioned above, it's not for everyone. Still, it has the following going for it
1)it's arranged, which is great for those of us that like arranged, especially symphonic! 2)there was never an official OST 3)it's a limited edition
so when it's all said, I really can't believe this will be anything less than spectacular!
Yeah, it seems to be a combination of real and fake instruments. Still sounds interesting, though. Even if I hate it, I figure I'll have no trouble selling off something that was so incredibly limitedWhen I was in Chicago with Nobuo Uematsu and Hiroki Ogawa, they mentioned that the DW version is the one that is appearing on the album. | eng | 4fdebb9b-c142-4db8-8824-3da1f2e09011 | https://soundtrackcentral.com/december-2012-soundtrack-releases/ps73410 |
Home / AFE / From Jorge Delgado Golusda – "Bridging the Divide: Worlds Apart? From the Military to Peacebuilding and Humanitarian Action"

"Bridging the Divide: Worlds Apart? From the Military to Peacebuilding and Humanitarian Action"
By Jorge Delgado Golusda (Duke MIDP '24)
Summer 2023 AFE Blog Post Series
One of the first questions I get asked way too many times is why an Army Officer chose to study international development, as people often see with skepticism the role of military forces in this world, often seeing them in their natural role, which is defense. But the truth is that Armed Forces around the world have always played a major role in this context. This is especially the case with the Chilean Armed Forces and particularly with the Army – the institution that I have served with love and pride for more than 20 years.
Due to Chile's special geographical position, we are exposed continuously to different natural disasters – earthquakes, tsunamis, landslides, floodings, volcano eruptions, wildfires, droughts, you name it! And one of the first responders in every single event is the Army. Not only that, the Army is a permanent resource to connect to isolated places in my country, helping residents of those places year-round with their needs. In the international context, Chile's commitment to international peace and development has translated into a military peacekeeping presence in different missions since 1948. My experiences in the Army have taken me almost every single year of my career to places where it was most needed due to natural disasters. I have also served in isolated locations where Chileans reside and even helped to promote peace and stability in faraway places like Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Middle East.
Thanks to Rotary, I have been able to take this experience and deepen my knowledge as a Peace Fellow at Duke University by pursuing my Master in International Development Policy (MIDP) with the opportunity to enhance my education at UNC-Chapel Hill. All this knowledge I have gained for the past year – thanks to an amazing faculty and school – has been put into practice with my Applied Field Experience (AFE). Though I had many ideas of where I could potentially do it, I was drawn to the work that PartnersGlobal – an international NGO – has been promoting and developing in different parts of the world since 1989. Fortunately, I was accepted as a Fellow of their Global Initiatives program.
One of the most attractive things about PartnersGlobal is their innovative approach that combines locally-led partnerships for peace and conflict transformation to empower communities and promote social justice. Under this concept, I am currently assigned to work on a Guatemalan-based project with local institutions.
PartnersGlobal is implementing a multi-modal capacity-building program on conflict prevention and mediation, where I am helping with the development of the curricular structures of the course as well as conducting online classes.
This has been a unique experience where I had for the first time in my professional career the opportunity to use those skill sets and experience given by the Army to apply them from a civilian perspective, understanding new points of view for peacebuilding in a conflict dynamic and seeing the applicability of techniques I have learned over the past year regarding collaboration and mediation. This instruction in conflict transformation, under the exceptional leadership and mentorship of practitioners of the field with years of experience on a worldwide scale that have fostered my opinions and ideas, has promoted a collaborative and supportive work environment and helped me to enhance my analytical thinking, communication, and project management abilities.
My fellowship at PartnersGlobal allowed me to reinvent my professional identity outside my military background as well as stimulate personal growth and transformation. I have been able to contribute to a narrative focused on peace, social justice, and human rights by immersing myself in the organization's work. This transition allowed me to use my abilities and experiences as well as focus on the potential of my military experience for positive change, embracing a more holistic approach to peacebuilding, always striving to live up to Rotary's motto "Service above Self."
During this period, I also had the opportunity to participate in the Duke Global Policy program in Geneva, Switzerland. This one-week intensive course gave me the opportunity to learn from leading scholars and a wide range of international Organizations and NGOs on pressing issues like refugees and human rights through a humanitarian lens. I had the exceptional opportunity to participate in this program with colleagues from different backgrounds from all across the world and exchange opinions and best practices, all aiming at one common goal: to make this world a better place. I was able to put my military experience and academic background into practice and debate realistic and holistic approaches to humanitarian action.
My Applied Field Experience at PartnersGlobal and the Duke Global Policy Program in Geneva enabled me to successfully combine my military expertise with the areas of peacebuilding and humanitarian work. I have been able to contribute to the purpose of promoting sustainable peace and social justice by using my abilities, understanding conflict dynamics, and most importantly: embracing new narratives. This confirms my belief in the ability of people with military backgrounds to contribute meaningfully to peacebuilding efforts around the world and inspires me – along with the work that "my brothers in arms" (my dear Peace Fellows) do every single day in their respective fields – to continue working for a more peaceful and inclusive society. | eng | b2ce36e1-fef4-4b05-9b03-2fd806d03fb0 | https://rotarypeacecenternc.org/from-jorge-delgado-golusda-bridging-the-divide-worlds-apart-from-the-military-to-peacebuilding-and-humanitarian-action/ |
Mukhunya is located in a very remote area where there is little noise; the area is far from roads and the only noise heard comes from birds singing sweet melodies to the creator for giving them their daily bread. The community is full of trees, green fields, and flowers. The buildings are mostly made of mud floors, walls, and iron-sheeted roofs.
An average family is comprised of the father, mother, and children who unite to do various endeavors like farming and household duties. The people of Mukhunya primarily farm to make a living, planting their crops during specific rainy seasons to ensure a good harvest. Harvested crops are taken to the markets, the sale of which gives the family members an opportunity to plan for expenses like school fees and health bills.
These visits to the clinic drain families' resources. The children especially suffer from illnesses that are caused by drinking dirty water. One of the main water sources is Mwore Spring, where people get water for everything from drinking to watering garden vegetables.
The water at Mwore Spring has pooled to the surface and is completely open to contamination. The water looks very dirty with lots of particles and leaves rotting in the water. Most households try to avoid this dirty water by putting out buckets for rainwater, but during the dry spells, they are forced to use Mwore Spring.
"Lack of enough safe water has led to many of us wasting resources that could have been used to improve our living standards. When sickness strikes, the workforce is cut short, leading to poor production on our small farms," said Mrs. Edith Buraji.
"I believe that when we have safe water, our children will also stay healthy as well as remain long in school."
What we can do:
"Many people here do not know the benefit of washing hands with soap, thus we just wash our hands when we want to eat food only. Also, some of us still share latrines with neighbors who happen to be our close relatives which at times is very embarrassing when one has visitors and have to go to the neighbor. I do not have a latrine and it has really been very shameful for me and my family to always use my neighbor's latrine," admitted Mr. Buraji.
TrainingThe latrines are regularly cleaned on a daily basis by sweeping with brooms and sprinkling ash in the pit to kill the smell. Considering the nature of these latrines, water cannot be used for cleaning because the floors are made of wood. If water is poured on there the floor will absorb it and start to rot - compromising safety.Project Updates
May, 2019: Mukhunya Community, Mwore Spring Project Complete
Mukhunya Community is celebrating its new protected spring, so celebrate with them! Mwore Spring has been transformed into a flowing, safe source of water thanks to your donation. The spring is protected from contamination, five sanitation platforms have been provided for the community, and training has been done on sanitation and hygiene.
Spring Protection
Construction at Mwore Spring was successful and water is now flowing from the discharge pipes. Protection of this spring has really touched the hearts of many, both young and old who would just come to witness what was being done. There was maximum support in terms of labor, so the artisan had an easy time working as whenever he needed anything, he was able to get it on time. Construction was done during a school vacation, so children played a huge role in ferrying materials to the site to help the artisan.
Children on school vacation helping the artisan by bringing bricks down to the construction site
"We thank God for using you people to come here and help us get clean water. The former area member of county assembly had promised to construct it for us but all was in vain because his term ended without him fulfilling his promise," said Mr. Khagoitsi.
"But for you, indeed actions speak louder than words because within a very short time you have caused bright smiles in the hearts of children and adults using this spring. We are now very certain that there is no more contamination in our water and diseases related to water have no place in our bodies."
The Process:
The construction process began by clearing the site through removal of topsoil as well as cutting long grass at the drainage area. Community members came in large numbers, including children, who joined hands together. Excavation work was done by digging in the proposed area through removal of all soil to the standard and opening up drainage outlets to allow water to flow freely around construction. During this stage, community members stopped to catch some small mudfish which are a delicacy in the community.
Gathered around the mudfish
Polythene was put down on the excavated area and wire mesh was put on top of it in preparation of concrete to be applied as the foundation. The use of cement, waterproof coating, ballast, and sand were mixed together to make a very strong foundation.
Brickwork started whereby the artisan took all of the required measurements of the spring structure before proceeding with the work. Construction of the superstructure continued with discharge pipes fixed in the brick wall. Stairs were built on one side of the spring to allow in and out movement by users.
Stone pitching along the lower part of the spring was done to prevent soil from eroding and blocking the outlet drainage. Finally, the plastering of the walls and the floor was done, and tiles were placed below the discharge pipes to keep the falling water from hitting the cement.
Mixing more cement to plaster the spring
The spring is then left for two days to undergo curing and hardening before being backfilled using stones. Polythene is stretched across the top and covered with soil to allow clean water to flow from the two pipes. Community members promised to dig cut-off drainage at the slope of the spring to divert surface water from entering the spring and to also plant grass on the spring box to prevent erosion.
Sanitation Platforms
All five sanitation platforms have been installed and make wonderful, easy to clean latrine floors. These five families are happy about this milestone of having a latrine of their own. We will continue to encourage them to finish building walls and roofs over their new latrine floors as we visit for monitoring and evaluation.
New Knowledge
While construction was ongoing, the field officer worked with community leaders to invite people to an important hygiene and sanitation training. Recruitment of participants was based on gender and age to ensure that information is shared across all community members.
Community members chose to meet us at the spring site where they sat on the grass. The training began well with participants showing lots of interest about the issues raised.
We handed out new notebooks and pens so that community members could jot down things as they learned them
Participants learned about:
– Leadership and governance for the spring committee
For this particular topic, participants were taught about how to effectively guide and direct others. The topic culminated in the election of three officials who were charged with the responsibility of coming up with rules to govern the activity around the spring. These rules can and probably will be amended by community members as they meet after training.
The topic was one of its kind because it created an avenue for community members who have never been given an opportunity to lead anything. It really made some of the participants feel recognized and important.
Community members learned that handwashing requires running water and soap. A basin of still water is not appropriate for rinsing hands, especially if it's passed amongst the family.
– Environmental hygiene
The facilitator explained to the participants that proper hygiene is an extremely important way to prevent many common local diseases which cause people to spend money buying medication rather than using it for development.
– Waterborne and water-related disease, along with water treatment methods
"I did not know the importance of having hygiene facilities, but now I am fully equipped with knowledge and skills on regularly practicing proper hygiene to prevent diseases caused by poor hygiene, as well as having sound sanitation to help promote the same," said Mr. Buraji.
Thank You for making all of this possible!

A year ago, your generous donation helped Mukhunya Community in Kenya access clean water – creating a life-changing moment for Rose. Thank you!
Keeping The Water Promise
There's an incredible community of monthly donors who have come alongside you in supporting clean water in Mukhunya Community.
This giving community supports ongoing sustainability programs that help Mukhunya Community maintain access to safe, reliable water. Together, they keep The Water Promise.
"Before the project, it was very hazardous as we used to fetch water on the spring's surface, which affected our health and contributed to the high level of poverty as many people used to seek medication, thus affecting them economically."
"Now, it's very easy to access water as we fetch through the pipe and also the surrounding area is protected, thus ensuring safe and clean water is always available."
"As a pupil, I take a shorter time fetching water compared to the past when I used to take much time accessing water, and this gives me much time to concentrate on my studies."
Navigating through intense dry spells, performing preventative maintenance, conducting quality repairs when needed and continuing to assist community leaders to manage water points are all normal parts of keeping projects sustainable. The Water Promise community supports ongoing sustainability programs that help Mukhunya Community maintain access to safe, reliable water.
We'd love for you to join this world-changing group committed to sustainability.
The most impactful way to continue your support of Mukhunya Community – and hundreds of other places just like this – is by joining our community of monthly givers.
Your monthly giving will help provide clean water, every month... keeping The Water Promise. | eng | 475e49d6-a654-4d3e-bbfc-5dde8dc80ad9 | https://thewaterproject.org/community/projects/kenya/spring-protection-wash-project-19116 |
Beyond the Pitch: Football Stories
Football isn't just about what you see during the matches. It's like a big adventure that the media makes even more thrilling.
Imagine when you read an excellent storybook or watch a fascinating movie – well, that's what the media does for football.
Making the Stories Interesting
The media, including TV shows and websites, knows how to tell stories that make football even more exciting.
Before a game starts, they talk about many things that excite us.
They explain which players will play and what they plan to do. Hearing secrets about the game before it begins makes us look forward to what will happen on the field.
Talking About the Game at Half-Time
Imagine you're watching a football game with your friends, and suddenly, there's a break in the middle of the game. This is called half-time.
During this break, some people know a lot about football – they're like football experts. They talk about what's happened in the game so far.
They might say things like, "Oh, that player did an awesome kick!" or "This team needs to work together better." This helps us understand the game better because sometimes things happen really quickly, and these experts explain it all so we don't miss anything.
What Happens After the Game
When the game ends and everyone's cheered and celebrated, there's more to enjoy. The experts on TV or online talk even more about what happened.
They show us the game's best moments again and explain why a team won or lost.
They might even show us a player who did something super unique. It's like reliving the game's best parts and understanding why it was so special.
Social Media and Fan Engagement
In today's world, something unique has happened that changed how we enjoy football – it's called the digital revolution.
Think about all the fun things you can do online, like talking to friends and watching videos.
This digital revolution has also made football more exciting, and social media is a big part of it.
Social Media on the Rise
Social media is like a big online playground where people from everywhere can connect and share stuff.
You might have heard of Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, where you can post pictures, videos, and messages for others to see.
And guess what? Football is now a big part of these places, making the game even more fun.
Making Fans Happier
When we say "fan engagement," we mean making fans even more excited about the game. Social media does this well. Before, if you wanted to know what your favorite player or team was doing, you might have to wait for the news on TV or in the newspaper.
But now, because of social media, you can get updates quickly. You can see things like players practicing or getting ready for a game.
You can hear from the players – it's like chatting with your football heroes.
Stronger Friendship Between Fans and the Game
Social media isn't just for sharing silly cat videos. It's also a place where fans can come together and have fun because they love football. You can connect with other fans who feel the same way you do.

One-liners to Rule Them All
Summary
The presentation covers a variety of bash one-liners that can be used to speed up hacking and data processing tasks. The speakers emphasize the importance of understanding the concepts behind each one-liner and how to apply various strategies to accomplish tasks efficiently.
Pipes and redirection are fundamental tools in bash
Variables and substitution can be useful in many cases
Standard tools and expansions are important to know
Examples are provided to illustrate the use of one-liners in various scenarios
The speakers provide an example of using awk to perform multiple steps in one command line, which can be more efficient than using separate commands. They also mention the usefulness of the 'up edit enter repeat' loop for quickly editing and repeating commands. Additionally, they highlight the explain shell tool as a helpful resource for understanding complex command lines.
Abstract
It began with the forging of the command line. And some things that should not have been forgotten, were lost. History became legend, legend became myth. Sometimes you just need to pull out the third column of a CSV file. Sometimes you just need to sort IP addresses. Sometimes you have to pull out IP addresses from the third column and sort them, but only if the first column is a particular string and for some reason the case is random. In this DEF CON 101 talk, we'll cover a ton of bash one-liners that we use to speed up our hacking. Along the way, we'll talk about the concepts behind each of them and how we apply various strategies to accomplish whatever weird data processing task comes up while testing exploits and attacking a network. | eng | 0961e0f3-f794-4c53-a36e-8f69e11a27a0 | https://hackdojo.io/presentations/4EL0Y395Q/one-liners-to-rule-them-all |

Perspective: "The Bricks are Fallen Down, We Will Build with Hewn Stones. The Sycamores are Cut Down, We Will Change to Cedars." BY MARIANNE MOORE
By Marianne Moore
I'm a man who likes context. If asked a hypothetical question, I'm the asshole asking for clarification on the hypothetical. Marianne Moore's poetry is filled with references, a linguistic puzzle of context.
However, sometimes context can distract. I read this poem's title, and it reminded me of a documentary I saw years ago, a documentary about the war in Syria. The title reminded me of the wanton chaos caused, but the belief of a single father to rebuild for his two young children. He was unable to rid himself of war, but cast out fear because it had to be done. There was no grandiose speech, no deeper level of meaning; there was just a man in ruins trying to build a home for his kids, for a tomorrow. And I spent too much time trying to connect the context with what I felt.
There is context to the content of this poem, there are citations to the quotes; but I feel seeking these sources does a disservice to the point of this poem. Moore posits the question of 'how does one overcome hopelessness?' She doesn't answer this question, yet she acknowledges it is done. And I think that's the point; when everything else stops, we just keep going. | eng | 56c7635d-29f4-41ea-9c0d-5150d3e1425e | https://blakeleitchpoetry.com/2019/11/19/perspective-the-bricks-are-fallen-down-we-will-build-with-hewn-stones-the-sycamores-are-cut-down-we-will-change-to-cedars-by-marianne-moore/ |

Credit Where It's Due: A Discussion of Shakespearean Comedy with Rikita Tyson
July25,2023
This is not a funny article.
Nothing sucks the humor out of a joke like explaining why it's funny, and the paragraphs that follow do something like that, turning an academic eye on the inner workings of Shakespearean comedy. Why subject you, dear reader, to this joyless exercise? Because, well, comedy don't get no respect.
"I wish we took comedy more seriously," says Rikita Tyson. "People think it's harder to make people cry than to make people laugh. But I think it's so hard to make people laugh and not to do it in a stupid way. You know, like slipping on a banana peel—although that's not fair, because slipping on a banana peel actually takes a lot of balletic grace." To Rikita, who has taught English at Commonwealth since 2013, comedy can teach us just as much about the human condition as more highbrow fare, sneaking in lessons while slapping a smile on our faces. Her favorite purveyor of those lessons: William Shakespeare.
In a building full of unapologetic Shakespeare nerds, Rikita stands out, the go-to scholar when, say, the theater department needs a dramaturg for Macbeth or when students are desperate to find out how old Hamlet is. "Most people who know me know that I'm a doofus before they know I'm a Shakespeare person," Rikita says. Still, when they do learn she's a Shakespearean Scholar, they tend to react with solemnity and (understandable) reverence: "'Oh, wow, Shakespeare,' which is always a little bit sad to me," Rikita says, because "Shakespeare is so much fun! It's so fun."
What makes Shakespeare's comedies comedies, anyway? Seventeenth-century playwright Thomas Hayward would say that Elizabethan comedies begin in turbulence, with some sort of logical impasse (like a noble father saying, "You crazy kids can't get married!"), and they end in peace (like when the noble father ultimately relents and those crazy kids do, in fact, get married). It's not that Rikita disagrees with those definitions—they're just too simple. If she had to define Shakespearean comedy, it would be "plays in which characters figure out how to make the world malleable, and then they change it." Yes, people will pair off and conflicts will resolve and everything will work out, but it doesn't happen by magic (mostly). It might, however, happen through "modal verbs," which convey possibility; e.g., "shall," "will," "should," "would," "can," "could," "might," "must." Rikita wrote her dissertation on modal verbs and rhetoric in Shakespeare's comedies, exploring how they capture "this thing that comedy does, which is move from the world that says, 'You must do this' to a world that says, 'I can do this.'"
You can see this at the beginning of As You Like It, where Orlando has just been told that his brother wants him dead. He doesn't know what to do and debates running away, becoming some sort of bandit making a "base and boisterous" living on the road. "This I must do, or know not what to do," Rikita quotes (effortlessly). Then he changes his mind: "Yet this I will not do, do how I can." "For me, that's comedy. That's making the world malleable," Rikita says. "People tend to think that comedies just sort of happen, like you go to the forest of Arden, and a comedy breaks out!And I tend to think that it's the characters who make that happen," she says. "[They] have to figure out ways to get around those very real obstacles at the beginning of those plays." Through cunning or force of will, the characters in comedies control their own destinies and forge their own happy endings. "The thing I love about the comedies is that the characters are figuring out how to make those things happen for themselves," Rikita says. "I want them to get more credit for that."
You'll find similarly motivated characters in Shakespeare's tragedies and histories; Juliet, for instance, certainly tries to change the world; "she just doesn't have enough people on her side to make it happen," Rikita notes. Romeo and Juliet actually feels a bit like a comedy to Rikita, she says, "because they live so long in that hope. And they almost make it." More—and more successful—hope-filled characters "tend to cluster in the comedies," and their combined toiling actually leads to change.
When I'm feeling incredibly grand, I like to say that comedy is a utopian genre. Like"When I'm feeling incredibly grand, I like to say that comedy is a utopian genre," Rikita says. "LikeComedy may be utopian, but it isn't perfect. The obstacles often seem arbitrary, but the characters need something to fight against. "If there's no darkness, there's no light—she said dramatically," Rikita quips. "Comedies are so full of these moments where whatever project is trying to happen might not happen. It might fail, because people are untrustworthy, or they do these terrible things to each other." Characters in Shakespeare's comedies do plenty that, to a modern audience, seems wildly out of place in a "funny" show. In Much Ado, Claudio publicly humiliates Hero. In A Midsummer Night's Dream, Oberon (himself a faithless partner) vindictively enchants his queen, Titania, so she falls in love with the first creature she sees: an ass. People will rightly say these characters don't deserve forgiveness, Rikita says. But in the context of the Protestant theology of the time, "nobody deserves forgiveness," she says. "You can't earn it. You can only be given it. And so comedy, I think, does that in miniature. Forgiveness feels like such a part of comedy. And so you have to do something that needs to be forgiven for the forgiveness to be an option in the world."
Rikita's love of comedy didn't start with Shakespeare, and it's not confined to the Bard. Jane Austen has a special place in her heart, Monty Python made an early impression on her, and she remembers "the golden age of Comedy Central's stand-up specials" in high school. Her top sub-genre? "Romantic comedy. Definitely." She has a soft spot for It Happened One Night, When Harry Met Sally, and My Best Friend's Wedding. The constrained circumstances in these films make the most fertile ground for jokes, Rikita says. Take 2007's Music and Lyrics, starring Hugh Grant (of course) and Drew Barrymore, playing two songwriters who need to write a hit in twenty-four hours. "If you could write a song together, you could be in a relationship together," she says. "This makes sense. Go for it."
Hugh Grant owes a huge debt to Shakespeare, whose proto-romantic comedies, especially As You Like It and Much Ado About Nothing, set the stage for the romcoms we know and love today, Rikita says. She remembers watching His Girl Friday, the 1940 screwball comedy with Cary Grant and Rosalind Russell, in one college Shakespeare class after reading Much Ado: "The rat-a-tat-tat of that dialogue was like, Oh, right. It's the same thing as 'I had rather hear my dog bark at a crow than a man swear he loves me,'" Rikita remembers. Like Grant and Russell, Much Ado's Beatrice and Benedick "fight in harmony. They're using the same language, they're picking up on each other's signals, they understand each other perfectly. That's why they can fight so well—so they're going to eventually be able to love really well, too."
Despite her ability to thoughtfully dissect and reflect on comedies written from the seventeenth century until now, Rikita says she's still trying to figure comedy out. "I feel like it's still very slippery and very protean. There's comedy that feels to me like 'capital C comedy,' which is about regeneration and rebirth. And then there's 'little c comedy,' which is comedy that makes you laugh. And those things frequently overlap, but I don't know that they are entirely the same thing." Should Ted Lasso and Richard Pryor: Live in Concert and All's Well That Ends Well be lumped together? "They feel so different to me, but we talk about them as the same thing," Rikita says. "Are they really related or is this just a weird accident that we decided we're going to put them in the same bucket?"
But Rikita has zeroed in on some comedy essentials. Start with vulnerability. "You have to be willing to look like a buffoon sometimes to be funny," she says. "A joke can always go really wrong. You have to be yourself to be willing to be open to that possibility. And if you try to hedge yourself, try to wall yourself off from it, you lose a lot of the funniness." Next, find and sharpen your rhythm. Then add some unexpected juxtapositions and pile on some pathos, and you've got the makings of both big and little "C" comedy.
"Okay, I'm gonna be earnest again," Rikita says. "I think comedy can teach us about hope. [It] can teach us to laugh at the things that otherwise would overwhelm us. And that can be a really useful thing." Even though we think of comedy as the thing that makes us laugh, "sometimes that feels like the wrong lens to me, or at least an only partially adequate lens," she adds. "But I don't know. Comedy is weird, man." | eng | 624d130b-e7d6-4933-9273-1fb169508e23 | https://www.commschool.org/news/news-post/~board/meet-our-faculty/post/credit-where-its-due-a-discussion-of-shakespearean-comedy-with-rikita-tyson |

Man And Loyal Dog Rescued From The Ocean After 2 Months No Food Or Drinkable Water
Tim Shaddock and his loyal dog Bella embarked on a Pacific Ocean adventure, unaware that it would quickly escalate into a desperate struggle for survival. Lost amidst the vastness of the ocean, without food or drinkable water, they battled the elements resembling a Hollywood blockbuster plot. The duo braved the challenges for over two harrowing months in a severely damaged catamaran, resembling the events of the movie Cast Away. Against all odds, they were eventually rescued, defying the overwhelming circumstances they faced.
At the age of 51, Tim Shaddock made a life-altering decision to seek a new path after years of working in IT and surviving cancer. With a thirst for an exhilarating adventure, he embarked on a voyage alongside his loyal companion Bella aboard a catamaran.
Their epic journey commenced in April from La Paz, Mexico, as they set their course towards the enchanting destination of French Polynesia. Little did they know that what was meant to be the adventure of a lifetime would soon transform into a harrowing battle for survival.
In the midst of their voyage, a violent storm relentlessly struck their boat, causing severe damage and leaving them stranded in the vastness of the ocean with no provisions of food or water. The situation quickly escalated into a life-and-death struggle, testing their resilience and determination to survive against all odds.
After a serene month of smooth sailing, the ocean's unpredictable nature revealed its tempestuous and treacherous side. A violent storm mercilessly battered their tiny catamaran, threatening to engulf it beneath the hungry waves.
Remarkably, Tim and Bella survived the ferocious tempest, but their little vessel was left severely damaged, leaving them stranded in the vastness of the ocean, far from any dry land and unable to call for help. The situation appeared dire, yet Tim's indomitable spirit shone through – having already conquered aggressive bowel cancer, he refused to surrender now. His loyal companion, Bella, relied on him, and he couldn't abandon her. And so, their battle for survival commenced.
The adventurous duo displayed extraordinary determination and resilience. With no access to food or fresh water, they ingeniously collected rainwater and resorted to eating raw fish to sustain themselves. Their unwavering bond provided solace and prevented the haunting grip of loneliness from consuming them amidst the vast ocean expanse. Together, they braved the elements, defying the odds to survive and hold onto hope in the face of adversity.
Surviving solely on raw fish and rainwater, the courageous pair, a man and his loyal dog, found themselves adrift in the middle of the vast ocean, with the nearest land a daunting 1200 miles away.
Enduring two seemingly endless months at sea, their luck finally took a turn. A helicopter, conducting surveillance for a Mexican tuna trawler, spotted their tiny vessel and approached to investigate.
For Tim, those two months must have felt like an eternity, reminiscent of the protagonist, Chuck Noland, in the movie Cast Away, with an overgrown beard and wild hair.
Ocean survival expert Mike Tipton aptly likened Tim's rescue to "finding a needle in a haystack," an accurate comparison given the vastness of the ocean and the improbability of locating such a small craft amid the vast expanse of water.
Tipton commended Tim for his impressive survival skills, which played a pivotal role in his successful ordeal. Staying hydrated and avoiding the harsh sun to prevent sunburns were essential aspects he adhered to. However, perhaps the most critical element was maintaining a positive mental attitude, and having Bella by his side gave him the purpose and strength to persevere despite the seemingly hopeless situation.
After enduring two arduous months, Tim and Bella's rescue finally came when a tuna trawler spotted them in the vast ocean.
An ocean survival expert acknowledged that their survival was a remarkable blend of both luck and skill, as it took a unique combination of circumstances and Tim's resourcefulness to overcome the challenges.
Tim affectionately spoke of Bella, recognizing her incredible contribution to their survival journey.
While their story may become a source of inspiration for future filmmakers, for Tim and Bella, it was far more than just a captivating tale to be watched on a Friday night. It was the ultimate test of their lives, and they triumphed with flying colors, emerging stronger and more resilient than ever before.
Indeed, Tim and Bella's remarkable survival story stands as a testament to the indomitable strength of the human spirit. It showcases how determination, resilience, and the support of a loyal companion can empower individuals to conquer seemingly insurmountable challenges.
As they transition back to life on dry land, we can only imagine the relief and joy they must feel after their tumultuous ocean ordeal. With the harrowing experience behind them, they can now savor the pleasures of a quieter life and indulge in a variety of foods beyond raw fish.
Their journey will undoubtedly continue to inspire and resonate with people, serving as a reminder of the boundless courage and tenacity within us all. May Tim and Bella's future be filled with happiness, peace, and the enduring bond they forged during their extraordinary journey at sea. | eng | 54f69cd9-c323-454d-8db0-f8dcf7e1c6cd | https://hamtruyenchu.com/man-and-loyal-dog-rescued-from-the-ocean-after-2-months-no-food-or-drinkable-water/ |

Our ART CURRICULUM
We believe at Coopers School that Art is a subject that can help us to understand and give meaning to the world in which we live. Art affects and influences all of us and as such is an extremely valuable subject.
We support our pupils to aspire through their learning experiences to standards of excellence intellectually, practically, and aesthetically. The curriculum we provide is rich in skills and knowledge. Through our curriculum, we aim to provide pupils with an experience that is exciting and to ensure that our pupils combine practical skills with creative thinking, developing highly valuable and transferrable skills for future careers and life.
In KS3 pupils will develop their skills and understanding with progressive complexity and sophistication, so that they are able to make informed choices and work with increasing independence into Key Stages 4.
We support pupils in learning to co-operate and negotiate and be able to share good practice and learn from others. We actively promote looking at the work of others, celebrating other cultures and encouraging diversity. All units of work link with contextual themes involving various cultures and civilizations from around the world. They lead to a greater understanding of different ways of life and a respect for cultures that are very different from our own; how they can enrich our own lives.
Coopers Values: Trust, RESPECT, AND RESILIENCE
In Art we develop trust by:
To encourage over time, pupils to trust in their own choices from a variety of artistic mediums.
Trusting that the teacher is a facilitator and guide of these various artistic endeavours. The teacher language towards the pupils is like that of a coach: asking questions and pointing to physical practices that need refinement.
Classrooms are highly structured studio environments with clearly delineated expectations for self-directed learning. Available tools and art materials are introduced to pupils who can then access and arrange these materials independently to initiate and explore their artwork.
In Art we develop respect by:
Art frequently requires all pupils to work in pairs, groups, or teams. Pupil often work collaboratively requiring cooperation and communication linking to Coopers core values.
Honouring work means honouring everyone's work. Including your own.
Encouraging art means encouraging everyone's art. Including your own.
Respecting classroom environment and material
In Art we develop resilience by:
With an ethos of 'trying' and not being afraid to make 'mistakes,' but recognising these and learning resilience and ways to move forward.

If I only had a heart
What can an elephant tell us about heart health? Nick Duggan explains.
Nick Duggan, 2022
Image Wallpaper Flare.
It's not just humans who need to look after their heart health. A former curator of the Medical Sciences Learning Centre at The University of Auckland shares an unusual story about an elephant who once lived at Auckland Zoo.
"This is a section through the heart of an Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) named Melanie, who died at the Auckland Zoo in 1971, aged 18 years. While Asian elephants can live up to 60 years, life expectancy in captivity is variable and many elephants tend to die much younger.
"If you look closely, you'll see significant fatty deposits surrounding Melanie's heart. While a pathologist's examination of her heart failed to find a cardiac cause for her death, the presence of such large amounts of fat is unhealthy.
"This may have been due to diet - elephants in zoos 50 or more years ago were often fed bread and other foods more associated with humans than elephants, with obesity a long-recognised issue for elephants in captivity."
In the late 1800s, an elephant at London Zoo was fed whiskey and sticky buns.
Poster of Jumbo the Elephant by unknown creator. Commons Wikimedia.
"In the late 1800s London Zoo's legendary African elephant, Jumbo, ate sticky buns brought along by the public and was even given whiskey by his keeper. Sadly Jumbo died aged 25, not from heart disease, but by being hit by a train.
This vintage illustration shows the prominent central position of an elephant's heart, which beats around 30 times per minute.
"Elephants and giraffes have blood pressures of around 200 and 240 mmHG respectively, which is roughly twice that of humans. Their hearts and vessels have adapted to withstand these haemodynamic forces (that are not sustainable in humans), however their heart rate is about half that of ours at around 30 beats per minute."

Melanie's heart was on display in the AMRF Medical Sciences Centre at The University of Auckland, until it was gifted to the Auckland Medical Museum Trust for the Brave Hearts exhibition. | eng | de4ac1f7-a2ca-4962-8f9c-41c191d9ee5d | https://www.ourhealthmuseum.org.nz/our-stories/if-i-only-had-a-heart |
John's opera ramblings
Main menu
Tag Archives: solovievIan Cusson and Colleen Murphy's Fantasma opened at the Canadian Opera Company Theatre last night. It's billed as an opera for younger audiences though I think there were more composers than kids in the theatre last night! It's a ghost story. Two fifteen year old girls and their mother are visiting an old fashioned carnival which is struggling financially. There's a "ghost" who is employed to scare patrons and generate social media coverage. Then the girls find a real, rather sad, little ghost and things happen. Or maybe they don't. And the opera ends. Or maybe it doesn't. It's surprisingly complex for a 45 minute piece for kids and raises issues about what we see and what we think we see; why adults do and don't believe kids and so on. When the (virtual) curtain came down rather abruptly I didn't think I'd be thinking so much about it the next morning. But I am. | eng | 4d2437f6-d00c-4c8e-b4bd-1e0037f95689 | https://operaramblings.blog/tag/soloviev/ |
