The bravery of Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg
When the Jews of Budapest were set to be deported in 1944, Raoul Wallenberg, a Swedish diplomat stationed in Hungary during WWII, led an operation to save them. He paid a heavy price for his bravery: Wallenberg was detained 75 years ago today on January 17, 1945. He was not seen from again. His efforts saved 140,000 Jews from certain death. | eng | d2247c2a-c02b-4884-9f1e-5d66b4238958 | https://www.bagels.tv/the-bravery-of-swedish-diplomat-raoul-wallenberg/ |

Certain Patients' Blood Pressure can be Raised by Common Hypertension Drugs
Blood pressure is the force exerted by blood against the artery walls as the heart pumps blood. High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, occurs when that force becomes excessive and begins to harm the body. If left untreated, it will eventually cause heart and blood vessel damage.
Commonly prescribed blood pressure medications can have the opposite effect, raising blood pressure in a statistically significant percentage of patients. A new study by researchers at Yeshiva University's Albert Einstein College of Medicine suggests that doctors could avoid this problem – and choose the best drugs for their patients – by measuring blood levels of the enzyme renin using a blood test that is becoming more widely available.
The study appears in the online edition of the American Journal of Hypertension.
"Our findings suggest that physicians should use renin levels to predict the most appropriate first drug for treating hypertensive patients," says lead author Michael Alderman, M.D., an Einstein professor of epidemiology and population health and medicine. "This would improve the chances of achieving blood pressure control and reducing the need for patients to take additional antihypertensive medications."
From 1981 to 1998, 945 patients were enrolled in a workplace antihypertensive treatment program in New York City. Their systolic blood pressure (SBP) was at least 140 mmHg. When the heart contracts, the amount of force that blood exerts on the walls of blood vessels is represented by SBP, the top number in the blood pressure reading. Prior to enrolling in the study, no patients were receiving treatment for high blood pressure.
Our findings suggest that physicians should use renin levels to predict the most appropriate first drug for treating hypertensive patients. This would improve the chances of achieving blood pressure control and reducing the need for patients to take additional antihypertensive medications.
Michael Alderman
Patients were given a single antihypertensive medication, either a diuretic or a calcium channel blocker (both of which lower blood volume), or a beta blocker or an ACE inhibitor ("R" drugs, which lower levels of renin, an enzyme secreted by the kidneys that plays a key role in maintaining blood pressure).
SBP and plasma renin activity (PRA) were measured at enrollment, and SBP was measured again one to three months later. Renin levels predicted which patients were most likely to respond favorably to either a R or a V drug. Furthermore, for both R and V drugs, the renin test was able to identify patients who were most likely to experience a "pressor response," which is defined as a clinically significant increase in SBP of 10 mmHg or more.
In total, 7.7 percent of the patients demonstrated a pressor response. Patients with low renin levels who were given a beta blocker or an ACE inhibitor had the highest percentage of pressor responses (16%). (R drugs).
Common hypertension drugs can raise blood pressure in certain patients
"Every clinician understands that there is variation in response to antihypertensive treatment, and that some patients will experience an increase in blood pressure," says Dr. Alderman, a former president of the American Society of Hypertension. "The latter is commonly attributed to patients' failure to take their medications or to a random event. However, the data show that it is not a random event; rather, it is the result of a mismatch between the patients' renin status and the drug. We believe that using renin to predict the best treatment makes sense."
According to Dr. Alderman, two groups of patients may benefit the most from having their renin levels measured: those who are being prescribed antihypertensive drugs for the first time and those who are taking multiple antihypertensive drugs when one or two would suffice. "With renin testing, you can more often control blood pressure with less therapy," he adds.
PRA testing has long been used to help determine the underlying cause of a patient's hypertension (i.e., whether it's caused by constricted blood vessels, an excess of blood volume, or both), which can help guide therapy. "The issue was that the test was costly and difficult to perform accurately," Dr. Alderman explains. "However, the methodology for measuring PRA is getting better and the test is becoming more widely available."
Morris J. Brown, M.D., professor of clinical pharmacology at the University of Cambridge School of Medicine in England, wrote in an accompanying editorial, "Renin measurement may play a role in detecting extremes and reaching rational treatment in those who are not controlled by standard combination [drug therapy]. Many hormones are measured on less reason and evidence than plasma renin, the "oldest" of them all; its place in routine hypertension management has finally arrived." | eng | f49679ae-8313-42ce-ac85-9b408d556729 | https://qspapers.com/certain-patients-blood-pressure-can-be-raised-by-common-hypertension-drugs/ |
Wilder are very excited to bring Forest School Fridays to Lochend Woods! These sessions will run term time 2.00pm-4.15pm on a Friday. We are welcoming children from P2 to P7 to join us for 4 week blocks to experience the changing seasons. Our forest schoolers will have the opportunity to take part if a whole range of experiences including shelter building, hammocks, rope play, climbing, fire building, energetic games,exploring and using tools
Forest School follow the same key principles:
Regular sessions in a woodland or other natural environment, rather than one-off visits Our sessions will take place in Lochend Woods with full support from the Lochend Community Woodland Group. Wilder already run holiday woodland camps on this site and we just love the diversity of trees, plants, animals, birds and insects!
Planning, adaptation, observations and reviewing are integral elements Each session is well planned and resourced taking into consideration time of year, weather and interests of the learners each week. Learners are involved in planning and decision making
Develops a relationship between the learner and the natural world Spending regular time in the same woodland over a longer period of time will help learners develop their knowledge and awareness of nature organically.
Learners take supported risks appropriate to the environment and to themselves Wilder have a wide range of resources to facilitate risky play. Kids love to climb, crawl, jump, push, pull, hide and run – about half of our session time is dedicated to free play as part of a range of free choice activities. Taking risks is an important part of children's physical and mental development -
learners are involved in discussions around risk. Some risk assessments have firm rules and operating procedures and others are more dynamic to allow us to respond to unexpected situations.
Run by qualified Forest School practitioners who maintain and develop their professional practice All of our staff are forest school trained with each session led by a Forest School Leader and assisted by a Forest school assistant. We are PVG checked and trained in outdoor first aid and child protection.
Range of learner-centred processes to create a community for development and learning Learning is guided by children's own needs and interests – learning and play is intrinsically motivated.
Instructions for attendees
Please ensure you are dressed suitably for the weather e.g. waterproof trousers/jacket/warm layers including hat/gloves and waterproof shoes/wellies. (These can be provide. Please let us know if you require them)
* Wilder have a small range of spare waterproofs and boots – please let us know in advance what you need to borrow, including size
* Drop off and pick up point is on Kellie Road, halfway between Halhill and Middlemass Road. Lookout for the green 'Wilder' flag at entrance to woodland
* Please ensure you're child has eaten lunch and been to the toilet before coming along
* There are basic toilet facilities on site should your child need to use the toilet
* Wilder will provide a warm drink/biscuit. Only bring a snack if you're child has specific dietary requirements.
* We would prefer children not to bring sweets to forest school sessions. | eng | 09fc1429-5d71-456b-bac4-cefcca26856e | https://eastlothian.bookinglive.com/home/active-schools/active-schools-dunbar/forest-schools/ |
Cape St. Marys is located on the southwestern tip of the Avalon Peninsula at the entrance to Placentia Bay. The cliffs along the mainland rise to approximately 130 m above sea level, with grassy barrens being present on top. An isolated sea stack (Bird Rock) is located offshore. Colonial seabirds nest along approximately 4 km of mainland cliff and on the isolated stack. The site extends east and southwards out of the ecological reserve to include : Bull Island Point, the small islets of Bull, Cow and Calf islets, St. Marys Keys (Cays), and Lance Point.
Key biodiversity
Cape St. Marys supports a large colony of breeding seabirds. In all, over 30,000 breeding pairs are present. Common Murres and Black-legged Kittiwakes are the most abundant with their populations being conservatively estimated in the late 1980s at approximately 10,000 pairs each. This represents approximately 2% of the eastern North America population of Common Murres and 4 to 5% of the western Atlantic breeding population of Black-legged Kittiwakes. A large population of Northern Gannets is also present with breeding populations being estimated in the late 1980s at 5,485 pairs. This represents approximately 2% of the global population and as much as 12% of the North American population. Other seabirds nesting at Cape St. Marys include Thick-billed Murres, Razorbills, Black Guillemots, Herring Gulls, Great Black-backed Gulls, Great Cormorants, and Double-crested Cormorants.
The Cape St. Marys area also supports large numbers of migrant seaducks (Oldsquaw, scoters, eiders), including large numbers of the eastern population of Harlequin Ducks (nationally endangered). About 30 to 40 birds are reported in some years. This may be greater than 1% of the eastern North America population of Harlequin Duck.
Conservation responses/actions for key biodiversity
In 1983, the main breeding colony and some adjacent ocean at Cape St. Marys was established as a Provincial Ecological Reserve under the Wilderness and Ecological Reserves Act. The reserve is a popular tourist attraction and draws many tens of thousands of visitors each summer. During the summer months, it is staffed by provincial naturalists.
Historically, gannet populations were severely reduced by direct human predation and more recently by the accumulation of toxic chemicals. Oil pollution, both chronic and catastrophic is also a concern, especially considering that the colony is located near a major shipping route from the Hibernia oilfields to refineries and oil storage facilities in Placenta Bay. There is also a high level of shipping traffic in the area, especially in winter.
A number of seabird studies and surveys have been conducted by researchers from Memorial University of Newfoundland and the Canadian Wildlife Service. | eng | 8c5d05f3-152e-412a-978c-5b5a15fb44d8 | http://datazone.birdlife.org/site/factsheet/11191/text |

Skills for the AI Generation
Takeaways
Literacy in digitization and AI will allow employees to focus on creative thinking, problem-solving and managerial goals.
Flexibility, adaptability, and perceiving the world in new ways is what takes innovation to the next level.
A collaborative culture between academia and industry will create ground-breaking research and innovation that solves complex problems, drives economic growth and creates a more skilled workforce.
Action
The Prime Minister should recognize the Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy as a good first step in developing Canada as a leader in AI, but it needs sustained funding. Research takes time, and long-term funding will enable researchers and entrepreneurs to take on bigger risks, tackle larger problems and ultimately grow the Canadian economy in a meaningful way.
What are the main forces shaping the future of work and innovation, and what impact will they have on Canada?
Canada has been at the forefront of innovative development and Geoffrey Hinton, one of the pioneers of artificial intelligence, is at the University of Toronto. Implementation of AI is already happening, we just need to pick up the pace.
What we are seeing is that with the adoption of new technologies, there is a broadly collaborative approach between different sectors, disciplines and organizations. More specifically, the adoption of artificial intelligence is already enhancing certain tasks and freeing up more time for employees to focus on decision-making, creative skills and managerial goals.
Collaboration between startups, big companies, academia, government and non-profits are bringing together different perspectives, knowledge and approaches to tackle problems more efficiently. This allows us to work on solutions and respond to larger needs, essentially providing solutions for the broader common good of Canada.
What are the skills needed to drive innovation in Canada's future economy and in AI in particular?
Literacy in digitization and AI is essential, as well as training, in order to employ machines to aid with low-value tasks. As humans, we need to work on cognitive functions such as critical thinking when approaching problems and understanding and analyzing data. Approaching a problem from different perspectives and thinking creatively gives us a competitive advantage now that the job market has been reshaped. Flexibility and adaptability to perceive the world in new ways when it comes to business, products, services or investment opportunities is what takes innovation to new levels.
More specifically, training on how to leverage new tools and resources to enhance human capabilities will increase the comfort level of the current workforce to use AI to enhance their roles, increase productivity and have a broader impact on the Canadian economy. Continuous education in privacy security, as well as ethical AI, will bring forth the need for responsible use of the latest technologies, and confidence in how to use this technology safely will increase adoption and integration of AI.
"Flexibility and adaptability to perceive the world in new ways when it comes to business, products, services or investment opportunities is what takes innovation to new levels."
Last but not least, leadership is important in inspiring and guiding employees through new circumstances, and we already see the results of leadership in addressing remote teams and flexible work policies due to COVID-19. Leadership not only adjusted to the new environment quickly, but also ensured that the employees who are not physically in the same space stayed connected.
Why are partnerships between industry and academia important for ensuring Canada's future innovators have the skills they need?
Academia and industry should work together to identify the skill sets needed due to technological advancements, and then implement more training programs for students, young researchers and entrepreneurs to address these new skill sets and provide opportunities to apply and hone them.
Both parties should teach each other and learn from each other. Academic institutions are leaders in teaching, learning, research and technology but universities know that some problems cannot be solved in isolation, in a lab. Feedback and guidance from the industry are key in taking an invention or product from conception to market. On the other hand, industry has insights and real-world experience, but it should also learn to keep track of the latest scientific developments, and academic processes and skills, such as the ability to scrutinize, debate and share experience.
"Academic institutions are leaders in teaching, learning, research and technology but universities know that some problems cannot be solved in isolation, in a lab."
Collaboration is key to both academia and industry for achieving their own goals. Working together in order to achieve a business benefit or a common goal will reshape the way individuals work together, not only across scientific teams or disciplines, but also across organizations, sectors and geographical borders. This kind of collaborative culture can produce ground-breaking research and innovation that solves complex problems, drives economic growth and creates a more skilled workforce. Both universities and industries should work outside of their research goals to boost the entrepreneurial sprit of their students and employees respectively.
We know that thousands of startups have been created at universities, which shows that academia is not only leading in science but also pushing the boundaries, and companies can support these efforts and learn from them.
What is the ideal collaboration model between academia and industry to help prepare our future workforce?
Industry and academia are two crucial stakeholders in the exchange of knowledge and technologies, so partnerships between them should be structured in an integrated way. Both parties should understand their own and their partner's problems. Both industry challenges and research gaps are important in this process in order to develop mutual initiatives and to tackle them. This will enable both sides to identify and develop products that they would not be able to do by themselves. And while it is easy to celebrate successes together, challenges are even more valuable in this process. It is crucial that challenges are dealt with in an open-minded way in order for all of us to move forward.
While universities and industry enjoy symbiotic relationships, society also benefits from a trained workforce, answering today's most pressing challenges and creating technology to improve lives. Mitacs is an example of a work-integrated learning program for graduate students that is structured as a partnership between academia and industry. It facilitates integrated learning from both partners and combines scientific discovery with the application and implementation of academic research. We definitely need more programs like that.
What are your recommendations for industry and employers to help workers develop the skills they need?
Employers can help nurture young talents through internships and mentoring programs. Mentoring plays an important role for the development of non-technical skills, which will prepare students for careers in industry. In this way, employers will help students to acquire relevant expertise for job placement long before they are employees.
Our flagship initiative at Borealis AI is our internship programs across labs in Canada, which advances the next generation of AI experts. In addition to internships, we collaborate with organizations such as AI4Good Lab and Athena Pathways to provide mentorship and support for female students and graduates in tech as they enter the next stage in their careers. Our research institute is also supporting the development of AI expertise through our Graduate Fellowships program. For instance, this year, we have awarded fellowships to 10 students working on a variety of research fields that largely focus on using AI to advance healthcare and well-being.
"Companies should build capacity to capitalize on new research and technologies by investing in R&D, employing more scientists and integrating them with business operations in order to have a more diverse pool of skills."
Employers should help cultivate and encourage an entrepreneurial mindset, which means that students or employees are in a position to choose a career path, a career change or even create one. Similarly, companies should build capacity to capitalize on new research and technologies by investing in R&D, employing more scientists and integrating them with business operations in order to have a more diverse pool of skills and create the workforce of tomorrow.
What and who would you pitch to improve skills development for Canada's future innovators?
I would choose to pitch to the Prime Minister. I would tell him that the Pan-Canadian Artificial Intelligence Strategy is an excellent first step, but it needs to be sustained with continuous support and funding if we are going to see significant results in the future.
We know that research takes time, so investing in the long-term will give academics more time to take extra risks, tackle bigger, open challenges and problems. By doing so, this will improve society, create new opportunities for young Canadian researchers and entrepreneurs, and help the entire Canadian economy grow in a meaningful way.

Despite Usyk's status as the WBA, WBO & IBF champion, John Fury declared that neither he or British rival, Anthony Joshua, has achieved enough notable wins in the heavyweight division to truly earn their shot at Tyson, and that both need to defeat Deontay Wilder in order to do so.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, 'Big John' believes every other heavyweight is 's**t scared' of facing 'The Bronze Bomber'.
"He hasn't done anything credible, to face 'The Gypsy King', it is just because the Saudi's want it and they are paying silly money, or else that wouldn't be happening either. He hasn't faced anybody of any note at heavyweight, for my money
He [Anthony Joshua] has got to beat Deontay Wilder. Everybody is skipping Wilder; nobody wants to face Deontay Wilder. I don't like Deontay Wilder, I can't stand him as a man, but every heavyweight boxer on the planet is s*** scared of him, except 'The Gypsy King' who has beaten him three times.
If AJ wants to fight Tyson, let him defeat Wilder. They all don't want Deontay Wilder, not then, not now, not never, because you know why? They can't take Wilder's power." | eng | 58847365-0ed3-4344-a89a-39d5c7d3bfc5 | https://boxing-social.com/news/john-fury-fighters-scared-to-face-one-man/ |
To do this, they used Lincoln Lab LLMapReduce technology along with Wine Windows compatibility layer.
Since the pace of Moore's Law is reducing, it has become necessary to use parallel processing to increase the application performance. Neural networks, physical simulation and data analysis applications are evolving at a significant rate, and they utilize the power of parallel processing to reach their performance goal.
To run such data-intensive applications, you require several software based on certain operating systems, like Microsoft Windows, which has a long experience of implementing parallel computing.
However, the world's top 500 supercomputers are running on Linux, and they are capable of executing interactive applications on thousands of cores in seconds. Usually, virtual machines (VMs) are used to run Windows programs on Linus computers, which imposes a lot of overhead on the applications.
Executing multiple VMs on supercomputer could take several seconds (sometimes minutes) per virtual machine. Scaling them to thousands of cores in existing supercomputer certainly raises efficiency and performance problems, making it difficult to run tons of Windows application on a supercomputer simultaneously.
Now, a team of researchers at MIT has come up with a new technique that quickly launches and executes Windows application on thousands of processor on a modern supercomputer. In particular, they have demonstrated the launch of 16,000 Windows applications within 5 minutes (each application is handled by one core).
MIT SuperCloud software stack comes with an easy-to-use interface that gives access to LLMapReduce to efficiently run thousands of tasks onto a cluster, decreasing complex parallel scheduling, dependency resolution, and task submission jobs to one line of code, while concurrently increasing the task performance by minimizing the latency of each task.
Since LLMapReduce isn't based on any specific language, it works with any executable, which makes it ideal to launch numerous Wine instances simultaneously.
Components of the SLURM scheduler | Courtesy of resesarchers
They used an open source job scheduler called Slurm Workload Manager to quickly identify resources, allocate them to tasks, schedule task execution on their allocated resources, launch them, monitor task while it's running and perform epilog clean-up when the task is terminated.

Launch times & launch rates of Windows instances
Researchers implemented their system on a supercomputer containing 648 compute nodes (each node has no less than 64 Xeon Phi processing cores) with a total of 41,472 cores. They executed a single Window instance on 1,2,4,8…256 nodes, followed by 2,4,8…64 instances on each of the 256 nodes, which gave them a total of 16,384 concurrent instances.
All these instances took nearly 5 minutes to execute, enabling a wide range of executable Windows applications on supercomputers. The team plans to extend this capability to larger number of processors executing more diverse programs | eng | 4e290b14-92d5-462b-8d69-8e8b46c9e49e | https://www.rankred.com/windows-applications-on-a-supercomputer/ |
How Lists work
By CodeAlpaca
One of Flowlabs most complex behaviors is the List. Users often find this behavior daunting to learn and ignore one of the most useful behaviors available. As one of the foremost experts in how the List behavior works, here is a detailed document with example images to help.
Before we begin, you must know how Lists work. A List is used to contain a set of values in a specific order, to help aid here is a visual example.
[CODE ALPACA,
DRAMA LLAMA,
HELLO,
WORLD]
Those are the items contained in the List, the words "CODE ALPACA" and "DRAMA LLAMA" are a single item even though it is separated by a space. In case you are confused this may help you understand it more.
Let's only have 1 item to start. I will place a number before the word to indicate the Index (index is just the placement of an item within the list)
[(1) CODE ALPACA] This is a list containing a single item, if I was to add a value with the "Push" input (more on that later on) the list would now look like this
[(1) CODE ALPACA, (2) DRAMA LLAMA] another item has now been added to the List. This is the basic concept of how the list works, so now we will go more in-depth into how it works.
—-
Number List.
(The order in which I list the inputs are not the same as on the behavior, this is done to place similar features near each other to help make it easier to understand. I also refer to the Numbers inside of the List as "items", that is because Number Lists and Text Lists are very similar and I wanted to reinforce the similarities between them)
The Number List has several inputs attached to it, the first is the "Set" input. This input allows the user to Set a new List. (Note: You can only use the "Set" input with a List of the same type, ex. Number List → Number List or Text List → Text List) Setting a List works the same as if you were going to set a Number or Global.
(ex. If you had the List [1, 5, 10] you could use the "Set" input to make another List also contain the values [1, 5, 10])
The "All" input will output the List, similar to the "Get" input on a Number.
The "Push" input adds an item to the end of the List, this item is dependent on what the input was. If you had a list of [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and inputted 4 into the "Push" input the List would now be [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 4] *(This is similar to using the "+" input on the Text behavior)
(Note: This is what I was showing above with the example "[(1) CODE ALPACA, (2) DRAMA LLAMA]")
The "Pop" input works in a similar manner to the "Push" input, but instead of adding an item to the end of the List, it removes one instead. If you had a list containing the number [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], inputting ANY number into it would remove the last item in the list, making it [1, 2, 3, 4].
(Note: The "Pop" output will output the item that is removed from the list, so in the example shown above the outputted value would be 5)
The "Join" input connects all the items in the list together with what ever the inputted value was. If you had a list containing the values [1, 3, 2, 4, 3] and inputted the value "PIE" into the "Join" input, you would get an output of "1PIE3PIE2PIE4PIE3". That may look a little confusing, but if I had used another value as the input it would look cleaner, like this "1,3,2,4,3".
(Note: This should be pretty clear, but the outputted value is a Text value, meaning it will be purple)
The "One" input outputs the value at the selected index. What this means is if you input 3 to a list of [100, 150, 200, 300, 350] the output you would receive is 200. That is because it is the 3rd item in the list. If you input a value greater than the total number of items inside the list you would get the last item on the list as an output. (If you input a number less than 1 you would receive the first item in the list)
The "Find" input searches the list for the value that is inputted, if the item is not found you will receive an output of 0. So if you input 4 into the "Find" input of this list [100, 150, 200, 300, 350], you would receive an output of 0. If you instead inputted 150, you would get an output of 2 (This is the items place in the list)
Those are all of the features of a Number List. A Number List is no different than a Text List except for the fact that it can only accept Numbers, while a Text List can have both Numbers AND Text as input.
So now that you know how to use the #1 most useful behavior (excluding basic things like Number) you can finally give up the excuse of not using it! When I say this I'm not joking. Lists are soo powerful. And please share this with anyone who doesn't know how to use lists, I don't like looking at people use a ton of Routers, Filters, and Switches to solve a problem a single List could >:(
Example of how powerful Lists are
When I eventually remake Alpaca Raceway using a single List I will be able to let the player create however many levels they want.
With a single List, I could have several WRs for every map.
I don't want to spoil my current project, but with Lists I'm making probably the most advanced thing on Flowlab (personal opinion). I did start this project in august and forgot about it for a while because of the cotton jam, but now I'm back at it again!
If you have any other questions feel free to ask. (I do plan on making these for all of the other List behaviors)
How to use List related Behaviors
By CodeAlpaca
Hello, now that you know what lists are you need to know how to use them. While the options that a List behavior contains are powerful, their main strength of them comes from how they can be used with the behaviors below.
List Modify
List Each
List Count
List Order
I will begin with the simplest first.
How to use List Count
This is a very simple behavior that tells you how many Items are inside the inputted List. For example, if you have a List containing [(1) Thank, (2) You, (3) For, (4) This]. If you input this the output will be the number 4. This is because there are 4 items in the List. I don't often find myself needing this behavior and mostly use it as a way to convert the List output to a Number output.
How to use *List Each *
This one is slightly more complex, but it is still very simple. Let's say you input the List [CodeAlpaca, JR01, Samuel (Pixel_Pizza), Grazer, DinoDev], the "Out" output will output 5 times (because there are 5 items in the List). The output will output the first item inside the List and continue to the last item inside the List
*(Note: The does NOT remove any of the items from the List)
When all the items have been outputted, the "Done" output will activate.
How to use List Order
Reversing the List does exactly what it sounds like. So the Example List would look like
[12 ounces of Water, 1 Cup of Chocolate, 2 Cups of Sugar, 3 Eggs]
Shuffle is also pretty striaght forward. It just moves around the items inside the list to random places. So the Example List might look like
[3 Eggs, 1 Cup of Chocolate, 12 ounces of Water, 2 Cups of Sugar]
Sort is slightly more complicated. If you have a Number List [56, 10, 33, 41, 47] you would get a list that looks like
[10, 33, 41, 47, 56]
If we used the Example List (Which is a Text List) we would get
[1 Cup of Chocolate, 12 ounces of Water, 2 Cups of Sugar, 3 Eggs]
HOWEVER, there is an option that says "Sort Text as Numbers". What this means is that if there are Numbers at the beginning of the Text it will sort it as Numbers. So the Exmaple List would look like
[1 Cup of Chocolate, 2 Cups of Sugar, 3 Eggs, 12 ounces of Water]
*(VERY IMPORTANT Note: List Order both outputs the new list, but it also changes the List that was its original input to be the same as the output. You can prevent this from happening by clicking "Copy before modifying".
How to use List Modify
The most complicated of the 4 behaviors, but if you learn how to use it, it's actually quite simple.
The Example List will be [Give, Me, Expert, Guide]
*(VERY IMPORTANT Note: List Modify both outputs the new list, but it also changes the List that was its original input to be the same as the output. You can prevent this from happening by clicking "Copy before modifying".
The "List" input is the list that you will be modifying. Adding a List to this input does NOT activate anything. It only sets the list that will be changed.
The "Index" input is which item in the list you will be modifying. Think of this as the same as the "One" input on the list. Whichever action you select (more on that later), this is where that will happen.
Value. This will cause the behavior to output the modified list.
Those are the inputs, now it's time for the options that you can choose.
"Insert into list", will add the item you input into the "Value" to that spot within the List. So if you inputted "Please" with an "Index" of 1, using the Example List you would get
[Please, Give, Me, Expert, Guide]
"Remove from list" does exactly what it sounds like. It removes that item. So if you inputted *ANYTHING with an "Index" of 3, using the Example List you would get
[Give, Me, Guide]
"Replace item in list" switches out the item currently in that position with the input (The input given from the "Value" input). So if you inputted "CodeAlpaca" with an "Index" of 2, using the Example List you would get
[Give, CodeAlpaca, Expert, Guide]
That should be everything you need to know. If you require more information feel free to @me.
This may all seem complicated at first, but after using it for about a week or so you should be able to figure out how to make whatever you need (within reason) without too much trouble. | eng | ec35e67e-87f1-44bf-bfa6-e331651c76a8 | https://community.flowlab.io/t/how-lists-work-by-codealpaca/38471 |
Weepy Eyes
Wednesday, August 4, 2004
"Weepy" eyes are fairly common in many species. Excess tears, also referred to as 'epiphora', are caused by two mechanisms. The first is that the tear production, although normal in volume, is not draining through the nasolacrimal duct in the normal fashion. If your horse is young, it is possbile this duct was not formed properly and usually a simple surgery will solve the problem. The most common reason for failure of tears to drain is that the nasolacrimal duct is blocked. This may be caused by trauma, swelling, or (most commonly) dust and debris. This is routinely seen in dry dusty environments and it is a simple job for your veterinarian to flush the ducts free.
The second cause of epiphora is more serious and concerns corneal disease or inury and definitely should be checked out. The eye produces excess tears in response to inflammation or pain. Causes range from ulcers and foreign bodies to ingrown lashes or lid defects including scars and cancerous lesions. Usually epiphora from these causes are accompanied by a squinty eye as well.

In today's rapid-fire business world, change is the only constant. Companies grow, shrink, merge, or pivot, necessitating periodic office relocations. While many business leaders break out in a cold sweat just thinking about the logistics of an office move, it doesn't have to be an insurmountable challenge. When you take the bull by the horns and plan meticulously, office relocation can be a smooth, even invigorating process.
Laying the Groundwork:
Starting your office move process early is akin to planting seeds before winter; you're setting the stage for a fruitful spring. By building a timeline and identifying potential challenges, office movers will have the foresight to tackle problems even before they arise.
It's tempting to leave everything to one person or a small team. However, an office move is a mammoth task. Delegate responsibilities across departments, assign a relocation leader, and ensure everyone is in sync. Diversifying tasks ensures that no single person or team is overwhelmed, and that every detail is covered.
Choosing Your Right-Hand Man: Picking the Perfect Office Movers
A perfect office mover offers more than just lifting and transporting. They provide comprehensive services, including packing, furniture disassembly, IT infrastructure relocation, and post-move support. Remember, you're not just moving furniture; you're moving your business.
Opting for the cheapest mover can be tempting. However, in office relocation, as in life, you often get what you pay for. Investing in a reputable mover might cost more upfront but will likely save you headaches, damages, and additional costs down the line.
Contracts can be tedious, but it's essential to understand your agreement with your movers. Ensure you're not being blindsided by hidden fees or clauses that don't serve your best interests.
Pre-Move Preparations: Getting Your Ducks in a Row
Before embarking on the journey of office relocation, it's imperative to lay a solid foundation of pre-move preparations. Ensuring a seamless transition requires meticulous planning and execution.
Out with the old: Decluttering and deciding what needs to be moved and what doesn't.
One of the first crucial tasks in preparing for your office move is decluttering your workspace. This step involves:
Inventory Assessment: Conduct a comprehensive assessment of your office equipment, furniture, and supplies. Determine what is essential and what can be left behind or discarded.
Archival and Document Review: Review your documents and files, identifying those that can be archived or shredded. This not only reduces clutter but also ensures data security and compliance.
Asset Identification: Clearly label items to be moved, earmarking those that require special care or handling. Categorize items to streamline packing and unpacking.
Break it without breaking a sweat: Packing strategies to ensure safety and organization.
Effective packing is a cornerstone of a successful office move. To optimize this process, consider the following strategies:
Supply Adequacy: Ensure you have an ample supply of packing materials, including boxes, bubble wrap, packing tape, and labels.
Systematic Packing: Labeling boxes with their contents and final destination is a simple way to maintain order during the packing process.
By addressing these critical pre-move preparations, you'll be better equipped to navigate the challenges of office relocation.
The Day of the Move: Making Sure It's All Systems Go
Starting the relocation early in the day guarantees that your staff starts their work with new enthusiasm and attention and gives plenty of time for unanticipated delays. Your relocation efforts will have a strong foundation thanks to early beginnings that help you escape rush hour traffic and provide you time to solve any unforeseen problems.
The move has to be closely monitored. Determine who will be in charge of supervising the operation, making sure everything goes according to plan logistically, that the boxes are handled with care, and that their contents are labeled accurately. This vigilant vigilance ensures that nothing is overlooked while still maintaining a steady pace and high quality of movements.
Even with the most thorough preparation, relocating might provide unexpected difficulties. Building a strong sense of community and optimism is essential. Foster honest dialogue and the ability to adapt to unexpected changes. A successful transition to a new workplace depends on your team's ability to face challenges head-on while maintaining an optimistic view.
Settling Into Your New Roost: From Chaos to Comfort
The job at hand is to turn your new workplace environment from a state of turmoil to one of comfort and productivity after you've been there.
Effective space planning is crucial to make the most of your new surroundings. Prioritize:
These steps can help you make your new office a place that promotes comfort, productivity, and a feeling of community, eventually paving the way for success in your new surroundings.
The Move Day: Pivotal Moments
When executed with forethought and care, office relocation doesn't have to be the monumental undertaking that it is frequently portrayed as being. The devil is in the details, so start early, assign tasks efficiently, and pick collaborators carefully. Accept the change, enjoy the ride, and most importantly, get ready for the fresh perspectives that your new workstation will certainly open up. | eng | 514db033-3a81-43e6-aaae-6b9107fba23f | https://www.corporatevision-news.com/seamless-workspace-transitions-mastering-the-art-of-office-relocation-with-office-movers/ |

Eastern Snake-necked Turtle – environment
Temperature
Outdoor enclosures
In outdoor enclosures, the water and air temperature is variable and cannot be precisely controlled. This replicates a more natural situation for the turtles and will encourage the natural hibernation cycle during colder periods. Eastern Snake-necked turtles thrive in water temperatures between 20 – 25°C. When temperatures begin to drop below this in the cooler months, turtles will typically become less active and they will eat less and their movement around the enclosure will be reduced as their metabolic rate slows.
The ideal temperature range for an enclosure is between 20 – 35°C and a temperature gradient should be created within the enclosure, providing both warmer and cooler areas. Temperature gradients are created by providing a basking area in direct sunlight or under a UV heat lamp that is large enough to allow turtles to move away from the heat source to a comfortable temperature. While the air and water temperature cannot be precisely controlled in outdoor enclosures, it is important to still provide adequate basking area for the animals in an area that has direct sunlight but also areas of shade throughout the day. Consider where shade will be created throughout the day and provide a basking area in an appropriate area that has plenty of sunlight.
The site selection for an outdoor enclosure must consider protection from predators.
Indoor enclosures
The ideal water temperature range for an indoor enclosure is between 20 – 25°C. Enclosures should provide a temperature gradient, with warmer and cooler areas. This can be achieved by using a heat lamp to one side of the basking area during the day. The basking area directly under the lamp should be around 35°C but the land area should be large enough for turtles to move away from the heat source to cooler temperatures if they choose.
As Eastern Snake-necked turtles also require UV lighting, the heat lamp and UV light source can be combined or separate. The light should be 20cm away from the turtle with no glass or perspex to block UV rays. UV lights and any other form of lighting used in the enclosure should be turned off overnight to replicate the natural day and night cycle. It is recommended to use a timer to control lighting times.
Temperature is best measured in the enclosure by using a temperature gun that can be pointed at areas to identify the temperature. The basking area temperature should be a maximum of 35°C. Ensure that the basking area is large enough that turtles can move away from the hottest area to areas that are slightly cooler. In areas where overnight temperatures are low, a water heater may need to be used to ensure water temperature does not get too cold.
In an indoor enclosure where the temperature is kept constant, turtles will most likely remain active year round and will instead continue to eat and be active throughout the year. Turtles that do not hibernate will typically have increased growth rates and reach their mature size more quickly than animals that hibernate. While hibernation in an indoor enclosure can be encouraged by lowering the temperature of the water and enclosure, this must be done precisely and for the correct period of time to ensure turtles remain healthy. Encouraging hibernation in indoor enclosures is not recommended for schools.
Ventilation
Eastern Snake-necked turtles require good ventilation. Turtles kept in outdoor enclosures will have adequate ventilation. Turtles kept in aquariums must have an open top or a fly screen top to provide adequate ventilation. It is recommended to always use a fly screen top to reduce the risk of objects accidentally falling into the tank. A metal framework can be used as a structure for fly screen attachment on the top of the tank.
Image: An example of an enclosed "hood" fitted onto a turtle enclosure with a metal frame, perspex front and sides and a screen top to allow ventilation.
Humidity
Humidity is kept at an adequate level by having a body of water within the enclosure. Humidity will not need to be created or monitored where turtles have access to an amount of water that they can swim in.
Lighting
Outdoor enclosures
Outdoor enclosures must have plenty of sunlight so that artificial lighting or a UV heat lamp are not required.
Indoor enclosures
Indoor enclosures require a UV heat lamp in the basking area. This should be turned off at night to replicate the turtles' natural day and night cycle. A timer should be used to ensure that lighting is switched on and off daily | eng | 430a097e-233e-429e-8e8c-ebee9d6b0415 | https://education.nsw.gov.au/teaching-and-learning/animals-in-schools/animals-in-schools-species/australian-native-animals/eastern-snake-necked-turtle/eastern-snake-necked-turtle-environment |
JSplitPane in Java with Example using Netbeans
JSplitPane in java
JSplitPane in java with Example using NetBeans- The javax.swing.JSplitPane class provides a two-part container. The JSplitPane is often used to separate menu navigation and content, but there are also other areas of application.
Windows Explorer is an example of a window split into two, which can also be realized with a JSplitPane. There you can select the folder on the left side, while the corresponding files of the selected directory are displayed on the right side.
The JSplitPane allows both a horizontal and a vertical split. The division can either be fixed or designed flexibly.
If a JSplitPane is created using the parameterless standard constructor, the two panes are arranged horizontally next to each other. The value for newContinuousLayout is set to false by default, which means that when the divider is moved, the two sections are not redrawn until the move is complete, i.e. the mouse button is released.
However, there are other constructors that can be used to influence the alignment and layout of the JSplitPanes.
JSplitPane Constructors:
constructor
Description
JSplitPane(int newOrientation
The newOrientation parameter can be used to set whether the separation should be horizontal or vertical. The JSplitPane class offers the constants JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT and JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT for this
JSplitPane(int newOrientation, boolean newContinuousLayout)
Here you can use the second parameter to control whether the contents of the two halves should be continuously updated during the movement of the divider (true) or only after the complete movement of the divider has ended.
First, I create two JPanes, which I give a green and cyan background color and our own JLabel for better illustration. Then I create a JSplitPane object using the first constructor as you can see in the above constructor table. Finally, I set our green color JPanel to the left using the setLeftComponent method and set our cyan color JPanel to the right using the setRightComponent method.
When you run the above code you will see the interface like this:
You may be surprised that the dividing line is vertical, even though we passed the constant JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT to the constructor. However, the term horizontal refers to the orientation of the two sides. In the case of horizontal alignment, the two sides are arranged side by side and in the case of vertical alignment, one above the other.
In the following we would like to explain some selected methods of the JSplitPane class:
JSplitPane Methods:
Method
Description
Component getBottomComponent()
This method returns the right or bottom container. The method getRightComponent offers the same functionality.
Component getLeftComponent()
This method returns the left and top containers respectively. The method getTopComponent offers the same functionality.
void setDividerLocation(int location)
This method allows you to set the position of the separator.
void setBottomComponent(Component comp)
This method sets the right or bottom container. The method setRightComponent offers the same functionality.
void setLeftComponent(Component comp)
This method sets the left or top container. The method setTopComponent offers the same functionality. | eng | edc02c7a-f140-4b0e-8fe3-e829f2d9ade3 | https://programmingdigest.com/jsplitpane-in-java-with-example-using-netbeans/ |
The Importance of Massage Therapy for Your Overall Well-being
The human body is designed to move, but with an increasingly sedentary lifestyle, it's not surprising that most individuals suffer from physical and mental stresses. Increasingly, more people are turning to massage therapy to improve physical function and foster mental wellbeing. Massage therapy enhances a range of ailments including anxiety, depression, sports injury, and chronic pain. Aside from relaxation, there are numerous benefits to massage therapy. Regular massage treatments can enhance your overall wellbeing, especially if incorporated as part of a holistic therapy lifestyle. This article elaborates on the importance of massage therapy to maintain physical and mental wellness.
Relieves Stress and Anxiety
One of the top benefits of massage therapy is reducing stress and anxiety levels in individuals. With the daily grind, it's common for the body to release cortisol, also known as the stress hormone. Cortisol can have harmful effects on the body, such as increased blood pressure, weight gain, and insomnia. Massage therapy targets the nervous system, which in turn brings relaxation to the entire body. When cortisol levels drop, individuals feel rejuvenated, allowing for improved focus, sleep, and overall mental wellness. Enhance your learning experience with this recommended external website.

Improves Muscle and Joint Mobility
Massage therapy can be beneficial in increasing muscle and joint mobility. Regular exercise is excellent for the body, but it can also cause muscle soreness, stiffness, and tension. With applied pressure during massage, muscles can be relaxed, sore areas can be eased, and overall blood flow is improved. Poor body mechanics combined with muscle tension can lead to poor posture and joint pain. A skilled massage therapist can apply techniques such as range of motion and stretch, which can help improve flexibility while easing joint pain.
Promotes Improved Sleep
A vital benefit of massage therapy is that it can promote improved sleep. Getting enough sleep is one of the essential aspects of every individual's overall wellbeing. Massage therapy decreases cortisol levels and stimulates the body to release serotonin, a hormone commonly responsible for better sleep quality. Incorporating massage treatments into a regular wellness routine can assist individuals in achieving better sleep quality, leading to increased energy and an overall feeling of wellness.
Enhances Immunity
Massage therapy is beneficial to individuals because of its ability to enhance immunity. Consistent immune system health is necessary to keep illnesses at bay. Individuals with lousy circulation, poor posture, or increased levels of stress can be at risk for illnesses with weak immune systems. Massage therapy can combat poor immune function by stimulating parts of the body's lymphatic system, thereby increasing immunity. With regular sessions, the body's overall function increases, allowing for increased circulation, lymph flow, and more efficient functioning immune system.
Conclusion
Massage therapy is essential for individuals to desire to keep a holistic approach to wellness. From stress relief to improved sleep quality, massage therapy's benefits are indisputable. Regular massage treatments, in conjunction with wellness lifestyle choices, can lead to increased energy, improved physical function, and overall better mood. With an increasing number of options available, finding the right massage therapy for you is easier than ever. Massage therapy is a crucial element of anyone interested in improving their overall wellbeing.

BASIC DEFINITIONS IN CATEGORY THEORY
MATH 250B
ADAM TOPAZ
1. Categories
A category C consists of the following data:
(1) A class of objects obC, usually denoted by just C.
(2) For each A, B ∈ C, a set of morphisms HomC (A, B). An element f ∈ HomC (A, B) is
called a morphism between A and B, and will sometimes be denoted by f : A → B
f
or A →
− B.
(3) An associative composition rule for morphisms f : A → B and g : B → C. I.e. this
is a map
HomC (B, C) × HomC (A, B) → HomC (A, C)
denoted by (f, g) 7→ f ◦ g, such that ◦ is associated (when defined).
(4) For each object A ∈ C a distinguished identity morphism 1A , which acts as a twosided identity for composition of morphisms. I.e. for all f ∈ HomC (A, B), one has
f ◦ 1A = f , and for all g ∈ HomC (B, A) one has 1A ◦ g = g.
We went over several examples of categories in class, and one can find many other examples
all over the place. A trivial, but important construction, is the opposite of a category C,
defined as follows.
For a category C, we let C op denote the opposite category of C, which is defined as follows.
(1) One has obC = obC op .
(2) For all A, B objects in C op (equiv. objects in C), one has
op
HomC (A, B) = HomC (B, A).
(3) Composition is defined in the natural way: if f : A → B and g : B → C are
morphisms in C op , we define g ◦ f (the composition in C op ) as f ◦C g (the composition
in C).
Some other important definitions which were covered in class are summarised in the following list:
(1) A category C is small if obC is actually a set.
(2) A category C is a subcategory of the category D if one has obC ⊂ obD and
HomC (A, B) ⊂ HomD (A, B)
for all A, B ∈ C ⊂ D.
(3) In the context of (2) above, we say that C is a full subcategory of D if one further
has
HomC (A, B) ⊂ HomD (A, B)
for all A, B ∈ C.
1
2. Functors
Let C and D be two categories. A (covariant) Functor between C and D, denoted by
F
F : C → D or C −
→ D, consists of the following data:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
For each A ∈ C, an object F (A) ∈ D.
For each morphism f : A → B in C, a morphism F (f ) : F (A) → F (B) in D.
F is compatible with compositions: F (f ◦C g) = F (f ) ◦D F (g).
F is compatible with identities: F (1A ) = 1F (A) for all A ∈ C.
A contravariant functor between C and D is just a covariant functor F : C op → D.
If F, G : C → D are two functors, then a natural transformation between F and G,
η
denoted by η : F → G or F →
− G, is defined by the following data:
(1) For each A ∈ C, a moprhism η(A) : F (A) → G(A).
(2) If f : A → B is a moprhism in C, then one has a commutative diagram (in D):
F (A)
F (f )
η(A)
F (B)
/
/
η(B)
G(A)
G(f )
G(B)
With this definition, we can consider Cat the category of (small) categories, whose objects
are small categories, and whose morphisms are covariant functors. Note that if C, D ∈
Cat, then the hom-set HomCat (C, D) can also be given the structure of a category, where
morphisms are natural transformations.
Some further definitions related to functors are summarized in the following list:
(1) A functor F : C → D is called injective if F (A) = F (B) implies A = B.
(2) A functor F : C → D is called full resp. faithful if the map
F : HomC (A, B) → HomD (F (A), F (B))
is surjective resp. injective.
(3) A fully faithful functor is a functor which is both full and faithful.
3. Representable Functors
Let Set denote the category of sets (i.e. objects are sets and morphisms are functions
between sets). For a category C and an object A ∈ C, we have a natural functor HomC (A, •) :
C → Set defined as follows:
(1) For B ∈ C, the object of Set associated to B is the set HomC (A, B).
(2) For a morphism f : B → B 0 in C, the map
HomC (A, B) → HomC (A, B 0 )
is simply composition with f , i.e. g 7→ f ◦ g.
Similarly, we obtain a contravariant functor HomC (•, A) : C → Set defined as follows:
(1) For B ∈ C, the object of Set associated to B is the set HomC (B, A).
2
(2) For a morphism f : B → B 0 in C, the map
HomC (B 0 , A) → HomC (B, A)
is simply pre-composition with f , i.e. g 7→ g ◦ f .
A covariant functor F : C → Set said to be representable by A ∈ C if one has an
isomorphism of functors:
F ∼
= HomC (A, •).
Similarly, a contravariant functor G : C → Set is said to be representable by A ∈ C if one
has an isomorphism of functors:
G∼
= HomC (•, A).
It is more-or-less standard to call a contravariant functor C → Set a presheaf. This
terminology comes from algebraic geometry and modern algebraic topology. We will use this
terminology in class.
4. The Image of a Functor
Let F : C → D be a functor. The image of F , denoted by imF is a subcategory of D
defined as follows:
(1) The objects of imF is the sub-class F (obC) of obD.
(2) For A, B ∈ imF (i.e. A = F (A0 ) and B = F (B0 ) for some A0 , B0 ∈ C), we defined
HomimF (A, B) = F (HomC (A0 , B0 )).
It is easy to see that imF is a subcategory of D. Moreover, imF is a full subcategory if
and only if F is full.
5. Isomorphisms and Equivalences of Categories
Let C be a category. An isomoprhism f : A → B in C is just an invertible morphism.
I.e f is an isomoprhism if there exists g : B → A such that f ◦ g = 1B and g ◦ f = 1A .
Following the idea that functors are morphisms between categories, we say that a functor
F : C → D is an isomoprhism of categories if F is invertible as a functor. I.e. if there
exists a functor G : D → C such that G ◦ F = 1C and F ◦ G = 1D .
A more subtle notion than that of isomorphism is the notion of an equivalence of categories.
We say that a functor F : C → D is an equivalence of categories if there exists a functor
G : D → C such that F ◦ G ∼
= 1D and G ◦ F ∼
= 1C , where ∼
= denotes isomorphism of functors
(in the category Fun(C, C) resp. Fun(D, D)).
The following is more-or-less obvious:
(1) If F : C → D is an injective functor which is faithful, then F induces an isomorphism
of categories F : C → imF .
(2) If F is an injective, fully faithful functor, then imF is a full subcategory of D, which
is isomorphic to C.
(3) We say that F is essentially surjective if every object of D is isomorphic to some
object in imF . It is easy to see that an equivalence of categories is fully faithful and
essentially surjective.
(4) Conversely, if F is fully faithful and essentially surjective, then F is an equivalence
of categories (exercise).
3
We conclude this note witha brief remark which should aid in intuition: The notion of
equivalence of categories is analogous to the notion of homotopy equivalence in algebraic
topology. The analogy goes like this: if we think of a category as a topological space,
then a functor should be considered as a continuous map between two spaces. Thus an
isomorphism of categories should be thought of as a homeomorphism of topological spaces.
An isomorphism between two functors should then be thought of as a homotopy equivalence
between two continuous maps. Two equivalent categories should therefore be thought of as
two homotopy-equivalent spaces. This analogy can be made very precise, but the details are
beyond the scope of this course.

China
Anyone doing business in China will need to understand the importance of "Guanxi" and "Face." While business people notice the differences between generations in China, understanding the deep-rooted cultural values and the way they influence business practice is still key to working in China.
Chinese Worldview
Group Orientation
Identity defined by group, family.
Cooperation
Harmony and face very important, though increasing directness and personal expression in younger generation when outside the home or traditional setting
Understand that Chinese selves are often embedded in plural pronouns, and learn to differentiate personal opinions from those of the group.
Be aware that impersonal language can be used with outsiders and that insiders and outsiders are treated differently.
Accept that Chinese value indirect talk and that requests are often implied. However, many young people are "trying out" more direct communication which may seem surprisingly direct to outsiders expecting indirectness.
Recognize that definitive responses are rarely given in Chinese culture and that the word "yes" may have multiple meanings.
Understand that modesty is a Chinese virtue and that understating and discrediting oneself is expected.
Be aware that personal questions are asked frequently and that guanxi talk is a sign of care and interest.
Accept that Chinese tend to keep opinions to themselves and are uncomfortable in engaging in social talk with strangers.
Non-Verbal Dynamics
Polite nods are common when greeting someone. Due to restrained style, gestures are not as frequent. Pointing is done with the entire hand, rather than one finger, as in the United States.
Prefer not to be touched, but it is accepted in public places when it's unavoidable. Within the same gender and close friendships there can be some touching. Women may hold hands or walk arm in arm.
Minimal physical contact is preferred, However, in public spaces it is accepted that crowds force people close together leaving no personal space. In private, formal recognition of space, is the norm, particularly with the elderly, who are treated with reverence.
Business Practices
PROBLEM SOLVING

If you follow health and movement blogs, you may have read recent headlines such as "sitting is the new smoking" and "the dangers of sitting." Yet, for musicians, it can be difficult to get out of the chair when your job is to literally sit in a chair and make music.
Most people sit in a chair for 12-16 hours a day, which means that our bodies are adapting to this 90 degree angled flexion of the hips shape as it is the majority of our movement diet. As a musician, I often see others slumped forward, with rounded spines and head ahead of the spine, looking down at sheet music, cell phones, and ipads. When we sit in poor alignment, we do incredible disservice to our bones, soft tissues, and organs, whether we know it or not. Our bodies are like silly putty- our muscles and fascia conform to the shapes and stresses of our movement life, and when we perpetually sit in a slumped position with our heads forward, our muscles become tight and weak, the front of our body caves in, our viscera are compressed, and even our capacity to breathe is restricted! As a musician, this is a major problem, regardless of one's instrument, and something to be addressed whether one is a teacher, administrator, orchestra musician, or student.
First thing, stop sitting on your sacrum and use your ischial tuberosities! Your pelvis is a bony funnel, beautifully structured to support sitting with two bony protuberances known as ischial tuberosities, or sitz bones. Your sacrum is the triangular bone in the back of the pelvis which begins as unfused vertebrae at birth, and begins to fuse in one's 20's and 30's. When we sit on our sacrum, our pelvis is tucked and our spine rounds into a C curve whereas our spine should naturally have an S-shape. (In anatomy terms, this means that our pelvis is posteriorly tilted and our spine is in flexion.) When we learn to sit on our sitz bones, we can begin to understand where our spinal curves lie and how to position our heads over our spine rather than forward of our body. If we sit as a requirement of our job, we must to honor the natural curves of the spine as well as a neutral pelvis position, and look to teach our students the same.
Start looking at how often you sit and your pelvic position while sitting- driving, teaching, playing, eating…see if you can start to cultivate some awareness of your posture. Even if you only think about it once or twice a day, that mental check-in can be incredibly helpful in changing long standing habits. While there are numerous aspects of alignment and postural cues to sitting, awareness is the first step. Working with a movement instructor can also be incredibly helpful, whether it's a physical therapist, Alexander Technique Instructor, Feldenkrais practitioner or restorative movement instructor, and another's perspective can be helpful in honing your own proprioception.

Monthly Archives: October 2011
I have been following with interest the current discussion led by Mike Breen regarding disciple making and the missional church. Since both missionality and disciple-making are personal interests of mine, I have enjoyed reading the blogs and reflecting on how they will reshape my understanding of church and mission.
As I reflect on Christian life and leadership, I am both convinced and convicted, that disciple-making is the goal, end result, and organizing practice to which I must commit. Disciple-making is the Jesus ordained mission of the church. But, it is built more in organic relationships and imitation. I need to take some time to explore Mike Breen's questions, which are both convicting and compelling for me personally. If you want to read his blog, have a look, and offer your reflections about the need and nature of disciple-making. How would you see disciple-making flourish in your life and leadership, in your church, and in our district and denomination? Do you, does your church, have a plan for disciple-making? Is the plan working? What are the outcomes? How do you measure them beyond simply the number of baptisms?
Bums in pews is the traditional way that we have measured disciple making. If we have more attending church on Sunday morning then we are making disciples. Our goal: "Invite your friends to church." Once you have done that, the discipling process goes through stages such as teaching them to tithe, getting them to teach Sunday School/lead a cell-group, getting them to join the choir or the board or the deaconesses, etc. By definition a church in this model means basically a Sunday-morning worship service. Thanks to Reg Bibby we realised that we were just circulating the saints and that more bums in my pews meant less bums in my brother's pews. And of course we forgot the mission of the church and so we looked for another solution.
So then we thought, let's look at baptisms as a guide. Our goal: "We are having a regularly scheduled baptism on _____. If you want to be baptised just let the pastor know and we will add you to the list." This is considerably less "missional" than the previous "Invite your friends to church" (because it is primarily insiders who are asked to participate) but it does at least try to answer the "circulating saints" issue. But then, for example, I know of one specific church that has baptised literally hundreds of people. Unfortunately, you would be hard-pressed to find many of those baptised believers involved in a church today (much less involved in mission). And the church that was planted no longer exists.
So now we are looking at disciple-making as a guide. If disciples are being made then the mission is successful.
It seems to me that we have a problem of definition. For some, a disciple is someone who attends church on Sunday and gets involved in some part of that operation. I suspect that if you asked someone on the street to define disciple of Christ they would include regular Sunday-morning church attendance as one of the key factors. Baptism would be much farther down the list – I suspect that tithing would be higher in the minds of many 😉
So in answer to your question, Roger, "Does you church have a plan for disciple-making?" My answer would be, "Yes, all churches do." Next question: "Is the plan working?" My answer would be "Yes, insofar as they each fit our own definition of what a disciple is."
Obviously there are problems. But perhaps because we are both too specific AND not specific enough in our definition of disciple. Disciple means "bums in pews;" disciple means "baptisms. But disciple means far more than that. Mike Breen talks about "Dinners. Parties. Work days. Grocery store trips. Mission. Worship services. Birthdays. Anniversaries. Funerals." This I think is really at the crux of the matter. For me it's not so much what are we doing wrong as it is how can we enhance the disciple-making that our churches are already doing to be more holistic, inclusive, universalistic, biblical, accessible, understandable?
So the question is how can I get this going in my life so I can contribute to the disciple-ness of someone else, even as they contribute to mine | eng | 45f1d48d-e46c-4d37-9b35-952ad63cd968 | https://michaeljfast.com/2011/10/ |
The basics:
Basic ingredients: Rice, water and/or stock of your choice, plus more toppings than you can poke a fried dough stick at.
Countries of origin: Almost every country that grows rice has a version.
Lesson one: How to eat congee
Eating out:
For first-timers, yum cha is a great place to try congee. Take your pick from preserved duck egg and pork congee, fish congee, and even crab or abalone congee — all topped with ginger, shallots and crispy fried wonton bits.
There are two ways of having congee. There's Thai-style congee where the bowl has everything already mixed into it (like at yum cha). Or plain 'white' congee which you can have as a late-night snack with a range of toppings and sides.
Cafes are now serving congee with a twist, but we'll get to that in a second.
At home:
Congee makes a great base for what you have at home. Add a flavourful leftover and voila — ham hock congee on Boxing Day?
Try it out as baby food. "It's the first thing that most cultures give their babies to eat, and very few people are allergic to rice, unlike gluten," says Palisa Anderson, a chef who owns a popular restaurant in Sydney's Thai Town.
Or use it in place of chicken soup. "Plain white congee makes a great 'sick supper' if you're not feeling well," says Ms Anderson.
Toppings and side dishes:
Season with soy sauce and white pepper; or chilli, vinegar and soy sauce; or even a few dots of Maggi sauce or a swirl of Bovril or Vegemite for that extra umami taste. | eng | 3c54d690-b7de-44e7-b092-5e2757b25ae3 | https://www.abc.net.au/everyday/congee-comfort-food-staple/10184596 |
Factual error: Why is Hilts not wearing a uniform? A serving officer captured behind enemy lines in civilian clothing risked being shot as a spy. If a prisoner's uniform was too worn or damaged to wear, it was routine for the German authorities to replace it - a P.O.W. in civilian clothes is an obvious escape risk. He is wearing a pair of tan chinos, a cut off sloppy Joe sweatshirt, both ridiculously anachronistic - Sixties hipster fashions - and nowhere even close to a World War 2 uniform. He is also wearing Army Type III Service boots - something that would never have been issued to a fighter pilot.
Factual error: A convoy of open trucks arrive at the camp bringing the latest batch of prisoners, many of whom are carrying rucksacks and tote bags of clothing and other possessions. Where did they come from? Combat servicemen in World War Two did not carry overnight bags with them - a change of clothes or a handy supply of toiletries was the least of their concerns. A prisoner of war arrived in the camp with the clothes he stood up in and nothing else.
Suggested correction:These prisoners were being transferred from other camps to this camp. As Big X said, "they are putting all their eggs in one basket." It's likely they are carrying possessions they've acquired during their time in captivity.
What "possessions"? Do you think they had Oxfam shops in POW camps during World War 2? They would be dressed in their combat fatigues and nothing else.
They would have possessions as they would receive parcels from home and Red Cross parcels.
Prisoners of war would receive Red Cross parcels, and may have also scrounged, made or been issued a few other bits and pieces. In particular, they'd probably have a change or two of underwear, some toiletries and a few books or games at the very least.
Just to clarify. They weren't exactly the "worst of the worst" for bad or incorrigible behavior. They were the best at attempting to escape POW camps or otherwise subverting their German captors. The fed-up Germans decided to contain them all in one prison to stop the constant breakouts. They only succeeded in creating a POW "think tank" by pooling together the most talented escape artists who combined their skills and knowledge.
In international conflicts, in addition to prisoners regularly receiving Red Cross care packages, the Geneva Convention requires captors to treat all POWs humanely, and provide food, clothing, housing, medical treatment, and hygiene. As mentioned, these prisoners brought their belongings with them from other camps. International Red Cross inspectors monitor POW camps for compliance. Failure to comply with the rules constitutes war crimes, which are adjudicated after a conflict. Germany was generally compliant. POW camps were to detain captured soldiers and prevent them rejoining the war. They did not punish detainees as "criminals" but disciplined them when they were non-compliant or for other misbehavior. Once the war was over, POWs were repatriated.
The Great Escape was from a POW camp specifically set up to hold trouble makers from other camps. Also, sometimes people expect to be captured and prepare to for it! Today, during funeral of John Lewis, speakers repeatedly mentioned that he was carrying a backpack with 2 books, an apple, an orange and a tooth brush. Which haven't been seen since his head was beat in. A least one German Fortress commander, sworn to defend his fort until he and all those under his command were dead, surrendered with multiple suit cases to make his incarceration more comfortable. Like the character Yossarian in Catch-22. [Spoiler alert: he makes elaborate preparations to the paddle in a life raft from Italy to Sweden.].
Factual error: Many of the prisoners are wearing watches, which is incorrect. Upon arrest a prisoner's watch was confiscated. This prevented them using them to bribe or barter with corrupt guards (and as this film acknowledges, there were plenty of those) as well as making coordination of meetings or escape plans difficult.
Suggested correction:It is true that most prisoners had their watches confiscated when they were captured. However, British POWs could write to Rolex in Geneva through the International Red Cross requesting a watch. Rolex would supply one with an invoice to be paid at the end of the war. The watches sent were steel because gold watches would have been confiscated by the guards. At least some of the prisoners involved in the Great Escape had these watches. Corporal Nutting, one of the masterminds, requested and received an Oyster 3525 Chronograph - a more upmarket model than the ones favoured by most POWs, which he used to measure the frequency of German patrols. After the war he paid £15 for it. In 2007 this watch and the associated correspondence was sold at auction for £66,000.
No, they are not all wearing watches. Having watched the first half hour to check, the only definite watch I can see is being worn by Steve McQueen. I can't see enough of it to say definitively whether or not it matches the watches Rolex were sending. Many of the others are either definitely not wearing watches (Charles Bronson, for example) or, if they are, it is hidden by their clothes.
Trivia: While Steve McQueen performed most of his own stunts, the only stunt he didn't perform was the 60 foot jump over the Austrian-Swiss border fence. The jump was performed by stuntman Bud Ekins, who later doubled for McQueen in "Bullitt."
Group Capt. Ramsey: Colonel Von Luger, it is the sworn duty of all officers to try to escape. If they can't, it is their sworn duty to cause the enemy to use an inordinate number of troops to guard them and their sworn duty to harass the enemy to the best of their ability. Col. Von Luger: Yes I know. The men under your authority have been most successful. This man, Ahsley-Pitt for example. Caught in the North Sea, escaped, recaptured, escaped, recaptured. Archibald "Archie" Ives: 11 escape attempts. He even tried to jump out of the truck coming here. Dickes, William: known to have paticipated in the digging of 11 escape tunnels. Flight Lieutenant Willinski: four escape attempts. MacDonald: nine, Hendley, the American: five, Haynes: four, Sedgewick: seven. The list is almost endless. One man here has made 17 attempted escapes. Group Captain, this is close to insanity. Group Capt. Ramsey: Quite. Col. Von Luger: And it must stop!
Col. Von Luger: Group Captain Ramsey, in the past four years the Reich has been forced to spend an enormous amount of time, energy, manpower and equipment hunting down prisoner of war officers. Group Capt. Ramsey: At least it's rather nice to know you're wanted, isn't it?
Answer:He could have only known a small amount of German, enough to answer a question or two, but not enough to carry on a full conversation. Also, the German seemed to be wanting to have a full conversation with him. He was on the run and didn't have time to talk. He was most likely being a smart ass saying he knew German.
Answer:.And, just to add to the previous answer: even if he could speak conversational German, he would likely do so with a very strong American accent (as he does when he speaks the few words to the Commandant earlier), so the guard would have picked up on that right away, anyway.
Question: When Roger is explaining the escape plan, he says that Tom will run under the vorlager, the cooler, and the wire. The cooler and the wire are obvious, but what's the vorlager?
Question: At the scene where Bartlett is running away from the pursuing Germans in the town, a car stops him. Bartlett says something in a foreign language to the German who steps out the car which makes the Germans drive away. Could someone please tell me what is said in the Bartlett/German conversation and what language does Bartlett speak in.
Answer:It's German, although I can't quite make it all out. The Germans tell him to stop (sounds like one says "hey you" in English). He asks what this is all about and, in English, the soldier accuses him of being English. Bartlett acts offended at the idea, and at being threatened with a pistol. The soldier then asks if he's German, he says something in the affirmative, and the soldiers apologize as they climb back in the car.
It sounds like the last line from the German Officer is" Free to Go" in English.
Answer:I am German and just watched the movie. From memory the conversation went something like this: German guard talks in English and Bartlett responded in German "English? What are you thinking?" German guard: "Oh so you're German?" Bartlett: "Yes why! Of course I am German. What is the meaning of this? Threatening me with this pistol?" German guard: "Well all right then." And they leave him alone. Although his accent would have given him away, it's a lot less strong than most English people's German, but still noticeable | eng | 0d2ca6e8-f6ac-433c-a24e-fc36d9903a41 | https://www.moviemistakes.com/main562 |

The -for and Against Argument with Regards to Innate and Learned Behaviour.
Q.1 In your own words, detail the -for and against argument with regards to innate and learned behaviour. Feel free to include your own opinion, but be sure to justify it. Try to include an equal amount of information for the both sides. Use at least 500 words for your answer.
For many years psychologists have been researching behaviour patterns from birth. This is where the 'Nature' vs 'Nurture' debate begins. Nativists believe that humans are born with various skills needed to survive, where as Empircist believe that humans acquire all or almost of all their behavioural traits from "nurture".
Some behaviours are innate, unlearned and instinctive. From the moment we are born there are instinctive motions that we do. An example of this…show more content…
[ref1]
An investigation undertaken by Spitz clearly supported Ahrens statement. He watched a group of babies from 0-20days olds to 6-12 months and how they smile/ responded to strangers. He found that 98% of babies aged 2-6 months happily smiled at strangers, but only 3% of babies aged 6-12 months smiled at strangers. [ref1]
Watson (as well as other theorist), did not believe that abilities, personalities or behaviour had much to do with inheritance or instinct. Such things were completely determined by learning experience. The mechanism for this is the 'stimulus- response'. [ref2]
Later Skinner applied Watson's principles to control both animal and human behaviour in programmed learning, as well as behaviour modification. An example of this is the 'rat in a box pushing the lever for a food pellet experiment'. Even though it was not evident at first, the rat quickly learnt the relationship between pushing the lever and receiving food. [ref3]
Working as a teaching assistant in my local junior school, means that I work with many children having a variation of behaviours. Some of these children are particularly disruptive within the classroom, as a result they are put on a reward system (very much like the skinner experiment with the rat). The children are set individual daily targets by the classroom teacher. The aim of the reward system is to show the children that improved classroom behaviour is | eng | cad4248d-9036-4cef-83a2-7919a6001c50 | https://www.educationindex.com/essay/The-for-and-Against-Argument-with-Regards-FKS8RM744Z |

Lucas The Spider- Save A Spider Day
Lucas The Spider
Lucas the Spider is beloved by children and parents alike all over the world. In every episode, we see Lucas break down barriers about insects and spiders, show kindness and compassion and of course, engage in the funny antics of unlikely friends.
Since Lucas is breaking down the barriers of fear that so many people have of spiders, it's no secret that he and his audience will be celebrating National Save A Spider Day. Let's learn more about how this famous spider came to be, the wonderful positive messages for children (and parents too!) and a little more about spiders!
Learn more about the creators who are just as warm hearted as Lucas the Spider!
Lucas is the world's most loved spider! Tell us how you came up with the concept of Lucas The Spider?
Joshua Slice –
I've always had a soft spot for spiders even though they can be kind of scary. One day I saw an image of a jumping spider that I thought looked really cute. I was then inspired to make a CG spider that looked just as cute (if not more!). My goal was to make the character likable by even those of us who dislike spiders. When it came time to animate, I thought my 5-year-old nephew would be the perfect voice that could really support the feeling of cuteness I was looking for. We put it all together, posted it on YouTube, and Lucas the Spider was born!
Describe to us Lucas' personality and why children can relate to this lovable character.
He's adorable, he can talk, he's the spider we didn't know we needed in our lives. Lucas is the sweet, adventurous, and irrepressible young spider with big dreams!
Lucas's personality traits which everyone aspires to include unquenchable curiosity, ingenuity, unending optimism, generosity, and he is warm hearted. He is also incredibly polite! Above all, Lucas believes in himself.
Lucas has a passion for music but his interests won't end there as he continues to discover the world around him with a sense of wonder.
Lucas is a Youtube sensation and now has a show on HBO MAX. How did it feel to get a show on HBO MAX?
Joshua Slice –
It's a surreal feeling for sure! I think the thing about it that's most exciting for me is the idea that something I created is able to bring joy to literally millions of people around the world. I never imagined I could ever have that kind of influence. The team has done an amazing job adapting the YouTube shorts to an entire series. They've stayed true to the original characters of Lucas and Findley while finding ways to plus the animation. I also love the new characters that were added and how they interact with Lucas and Findley. It really opens up a ton of fun opportunities as the series continues!
Tell us why humans should think twice before squishing a spider.
Because they are very helpful in getting rid of pesky insects. Don't squish a spider – if you find a spider in your house, catch it in a jar and set it free outside.
How are spiders helpful in the food chain?
Spiders help protect plants from damage by pesky insects.
Why do people find spiders in their house?
They are looking for food, water, and shelter.
How do spiders prevent diseases?
Spiders eat disease carrying insects.
We have heard that most spiders are venomous. Does this create a danger for humans?
This isn't true – most spiders aren't venomous. Only 1/20 of 1% of 50,000 species of spider are venomous. Bees and wasps are more of an issue, not spiders.
What are some current studies on spider venom showing so far?
Spider venom is valued for its potential in treating everything from chronic pain to muscular dystrophy.
How are you, as creators of Lucas The Spider, working hard to change the image of spiders?
Lucas is a make-believe adorable ambassador for spiders.
Why is it important to teach children the truth about spiders?
Most spiders aren't harmful to humans.
If Lucas has a message for his fans, what would it be?
Lucas's positive attitude and ability to see the good in everything inspires his fans to overcome obstacles (both personal and physical) and grow. Opening up their horizons, discovering new things both big and small and, most importantly, believing in yourself.

Some people endure a lot of unpleasant pet behavior, while others just give up and dump pets at shelters or on the street. But all that is unnecessary. Instead of treating pets badly, abandoning pets, it's a much better solution for all when pet owners make-good on the fun, pet-ownership originally intended.
A few lucky shelter animals get adopted, but many are euthanized (killed by injection) in over-populated shelters. Of the approximate 8 million pets that end up in shelters, about half are euthanized, according to the Human Society of the United States (HSUS) report on November 29, 2009. Abandoned pets usually die quickly by starvation or by becoming dinner for a wild animal.
Following a few simple tips can bring years of joy to pet and owner, instead of such tragedy:
To Spay and Neuter or Not?
The answer is easy: Do it! Females are spade and males are neutered, in relatively safe surgeries that leave them sterile, or unable to make more puppies and kittens. Dogs and cats that have had this surgery are generally calmer, don't urinate in a territorial manner as often, and are not as destructive as pets that have not been spayed or neutered. Many veterinarians and shelters offer deep discount or even free spay and neuter clinics to make the service accessible to all.
The Animal Rescue League (ARL) reported sobering statistics on March 26, 2010: A cat can produce three litters of kittens every year, with up to six kittens each time. A dog can produce two litters of pups every year, with between four to twelve pups each time, depending on the size of the parent dogs.
In theory, a dog plus its offspring may produce over 50,000 pups in just six years. In theory, a cat plus its offspring may produce over 900,000 kittens in six years.
Barking Dogs – Shhhh
Barking dogs are a common pet owner issue. Many people instinctively shout, "No!" or "Shut Up!" But there is a problem with that in a dog's mind. The dog thinks the owner is simply joining in and barking with it. Doctors Foster and Smith Pet Education offers these tips:
Speak to the dog. Don't yell. Everyone in the house needs to use the same verbal command to let the dog know what it needs to do. The commands, "No" and "Stop" are okay, as long as they are spoken in a regular voice tone.
Be consistent. Use the same command every time the dog barks, and don't give the dog treats or do anything to give the dog an impression that it is okay to bark. Mixed messages will never solve the problem. If the barking is really bad, don't be afraid to ask for help from a dog trainer. Some pet stores offer discounted classes in many behavior modification issues for dogs. In addition, aside from commanding them, it is also important to give them proper care, treatment and protection. As such, you must consider a lot of things to ensure their safety like knowing how to protect dog paws from hot pavement.
Cat-Proofing for Safety
Cats cannot be disciplined the same way as dogs. Their brains work very differently. Dogs naturally form a 'top dog' attitude with their owner as that 'top.' Cats only socialize if necessary. Physical punishment never works for either dogs or cats, because it only teaches the pet to fear. Cat Fanciers magazine shares many tips for easier life with cats:
Most cats hate to get wet, so consistently spraying a water bottle at the cats when they behave badly, like when jumping on the kitchen countertop, and will help. However, be warned cats only behave while the owner is in the room, so wash down those kitchen top areas when the cat's loose in the house and you've been out of sight.
The best behavior modification tactic with cats is to use the same measures used in childproofing a home for a two year old. If the item is not accessible, the cats won't get into it. Get childproofing accessories at any discount department store or baby store. Some home improvement centers also sell childproofing gadgets and they are usually under $12.00. Any childproofing hint that works for little children, also works for cats: Making sure cabinets and bookshelves are stable, keeping sharps, toxic plants, household cleaners, and breakables out of reach, and keeping kitchen countertops clear of tempting foods or sealing them in unbreakable containers.
The Bottom Line
Pet ownership is a responsibility like child-rearing, and it doesn't just come naturally. There are many considerations to keep life fun and easy for you and your pets. Refer to the expert pet advice resource links in this article text for more information on these and other specific pet concerns. | eng | f3c30afe-3b17-4b31-a3ac-44fa877fff6a | http://leadership-and-motivation-training.com/tips-for-living-well-with-cats-and-dogs/ |
Pinterest Unblocked: How Do I Unblock Pinterest On My School Laptop?
How do I unblock a website blocked by the administrator? If you're trying to access Pinterest on a school laptop and are unable to do so, it's likely that the website has been blocked by your school's IT department. However, different schools may have their own reasons for blocking Pinterest on school computers, as well as a number of other social media platforms.
Before we proceed on how you can unblock Pinterest on your personal computer or any other computer, let's take a look at what Pinterest is known for;
What is Pinterest?
Pinterest is a social media site where people can find, save, and share pictures and videos about fashion, food, home decor, travel, and many other things. Users can create "boards," which are essentially collections of pins (images or videos) that are organized around a specific theme or topic.
Users can browse and search for pins, follow other users and boards, and repin (save) pins to their own boards. Pinterest is often used as a source of inspiration for things like fashion, home decor, and recipes and is also a popular tool for planning events like weddings and parties. You can also use Pinterest to discover new products and services and shop through the platform.

Additionally, businesses and brands can create pages to promote their products and services and can also use Pinterest to showcase their products and services through visually appealing boards and pins.
How to unblock Pinterest
Here are a few things to try if you want Pinterest unblocked on your Chromebook:
Use a VPN: A virtual private network (VPN) allows you to connect to the internet through a server in another location, which can help you bypass website blocks. There are many free and paid VPN options available, such as NordVPN, ExpressVPN, and Hotspot Shield.
Use a Proxy Server: A proxy server is another way to bypass website blocks. It acts as an intermediary between your device and the internet, routing your requests through a different IP address. There are many free proxy servers available online, such as HideMyAss and FilterBypass.
Ask your IT department: If all else fails, you can try reaching out to your school's IT department and asking if they can unblock Pinterest for you. They may be able to do so or provide you with an explanation as to why it's blocked.
Alternatively, you can take the steps below to look for restrictions on your school laptop and gain access to the website you want. It is, however, recommended that you check your school's policy before participating in such activities.
How do I turn off restrictions on my school laptop?
Check for a parental control app: Many school laptops come with parental control apps pre-installed. These apps allow parents or administrators to set restrictions on device usage. Check to see if there is an app like this installed on your device, and if so, try to locate the settings where you can turn off the restrictions.
Check the device's settings: Look for settings related to content restrictions, web filtering, or website blocking. These settings are often found in the device's security or management settings.
Check for a group policy: If your school is using a network management tool like Microsoft Group Policy, the IT department may have set up restrictions that apply to all devices on the network. In this case, you will need to contact your IT department and ask them to remove the restrictions.
How can I use Pinterest at school?
If you're looking for Pinterest ideas for educational settings, the following tips will be of great help.
Create boards for specific subjects or topics: For example, you can create a board for a history project and pin images, articles, and videos related to the topic.
Collaborate with classmates: Create a shared board with classmates and work together to collect resources and inspiration for group projects.
Use Pinterest to find educational resources: There are many teachers and educators on Pinterest who share lesson plans, activities, and quizzes that you can use in your own studies.
Organize your pins: Use labels to organize your pins by subject or topic, so you can easily find what you need when you need it.
Follow educators and schools: Follow educators, schools, and educational organizations on Pinterest to stay up-to-date on new resources and ideas for using Pinterest in the classroom.
Get permission from the school: Remember, schools may have policies on the use of social media, so it's always best to check with your school's administration before using Pinterest in an educational setting.
Use Pinterest's privacy settings to control who can see your pins and boards.
I hope that you're able to learn how to unblock Pinterest on your PC. If you find this post helpful, do not hesitate to share it with your friends on social media.
But this post is meant to teach, so please keep in mind that schools and other places may have rules and protocols that make it illegal to use VPNs and proxy servers. It is important to follow these rules and not do anything that could go against them. | eng | f2b86721-9f52-4189-ba5b-d6b89b8857ba | https://realupdatez.com/pinterest-unblocked-how-do-i-unblock-pinterest/ |
Employee Dashboard
In today's fast-paced and competitive business landscape, organizations are constantly looking for ways to enhance productivity and drive employee performance. One effective tool that has gained popularity in recent years is an employee dashboard. When the power of employee metrics is combined with a robust employee dashboard, it can revolutionize the way leaders make informed decisions, improve engagement, and drive performance by providing real-time data and insights.
The Power of Employee Metrics in Business Performance
Employee metrics, also known as key performance indicators (KPIs), are metrics that help organizations measure and assess the performance of their employees. By analyzing these metrics, leaders can gain valuable insights into employee engagement, productivity, and overall performance. However, to truly harness the power of employee metrics, organizations need a centralized platform that consolidates and presents this data in a meaningful way. This is where a unified dashboard comes into play.
What are Employee Metrics and Why are They Important?
Employee metrics provide quantifiable data that enables organizations to evaluate and understand their employees better. Metrics related to employee satisfaction, knowledge, and recognition can offer valuable insights into the overall well-being and engagement of the workforce. By tracking these metrics, leaders can identify areas for improvement and implement targeted strategies to enhance employee experience and drive organizational success.
Key Employee Metrics to Monitor for Success
When it comes to measuring employee performance, there are numerous metrics that organizations can track. Some key metrics include employee satisfaction scores, employee turnover rates, and employee productivity levels. Additionally, organizations can also gather employee communication metrics, such as how employees are receiving and understanding information. By monitoring these metrics, leaders can identify bottlenecks, address communication gaps, and ensure that their employees are well-informed and engaged.
Understanding the Importance of an Employee Dashboard
Employee engagement plays a crucial role in productivity and overall business success. An employee dashboard serves as a valuable tool for enhancing engagement by providing company leadership with a centralized hub for tracking metrics about their employees and their activity.
The Concept of a Unified Dashboard
A unified dashboard is a software tool that brings together relevant data from various sources and presents it in a centralized and easily digestible format. With a unified dashboard, leaders can access real-time updates on employee metrics, performance indicators, and other crucial data points. This empowers leaders to make data-driven decisions and take proactive measures to improve their organization's performance.
The Benefits of a Unified Dashboard
Using a unified dashboard offers several benefits for organizations seeking to enhance their leadership and drive success. Firstly, it provides leaders with a comprehensive overview of employee metrics, allowing them to identify trends and patterns that could impact the organization's performance. Secondly, a unified dashboard enables leaders to reduce the time spent on manual data gathering and analysis, freeing up valuable resources for more strategic initiatives. Lastly, the centralized nature of a unified dashboard promotes collaboration and transparency, as key stakeholders can access the same up-to-date information, fostering a culture of shared understanding and alignment.
Key Features of an Effective Unified Dashboard
An effective unified dashboard should offer a range of features to ensure seamless integration and actionable insights. Customizable dashboards allow leaders to select and prioritize the employee metrics that matter most to their organization's goals. Real-time data updates ensure that leaders can access the latest information and respond promptly to emerging trends or issues. And intuitive visualizations, such as charts and graphs, make it easy for leaders to analyze and interpret data, facilitating informed decision-making.
Measuring the Impact of Leadership Decisions Using a Unified Dashboard
Aside from providing valuable employee insights, a unified dashboard can also enable leaders to measure the impact of their leadership decisions.
How to Use a Dashboard to Track Leadership Decisions
A unified dashboard allows leaders to track and analyze the outcome of their leadership decisions by overlaying employee metrics with key performance indicators. For example, a leader can assess the impact of a new employee recognition program by analyzing changes in employee satisfaction scores and productivity levels over time. By monitoring these metrics, leaders can fine-tune their strategies and ensure that their decisions are driving positive change within the organization.
The Role of Data in Leadership Decision-Making
Data plays a crucial role in leadership decision-making. By basing decisions on concrete data rather than assumptions or gut feelings, leaders can minimize bias and make informed choices that have a higher probability of success. A unified dashboard provides leaders with the necessary data visualization and analysis tools to uncover insights, identify trends, and ultimately make data-driven decisions that lead to improved organizational performance.
Insights and Strategies to Improve Engagement with Employee Dashboard
With the help of a robust unified dashboard, leaders can access real-time data, visualize trends, and make informed decisions that positively impact their organizations.. Here are some insights and strategies that organizations can use: | eng | 20881b82-c755-47c5-ad13-fa446d3b2c5f | https://www.hubengage.com/category/employee-dashboard/ |

I am a pragmatic radical, not a rhetorical one. I want to help organize this movement into a force that can accomplish real, tangible objectives. If that means compromising grander ambitions, I'll do that. If it means forging alliances with other constituencies, like religious groups, I'll do it.

its harder/more expensive to explore the bottom of the ocean than it is to explore space and the moon. we've really maybe collectively explored 2-3% of it. thanks for the article.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 5833413
Actually, its easier to go into space compared to deep sea, space has VEEEERY low pressures, while deep sea has REALLY BIG amounts of pressure. And if you compare how much of the sea (2-3%) to how much of the space we have explored you will see space (0.00000...1% repeating of course) exploration aint that easy.

Instructional Design Models
May 24, 2023June 13, 2023
I often get asked about instructional design models, so I thought I would throw together a post to run through the basics of some of the more common models out there.
There are several instructional design models that are commonly used in education and training. The choice of model depends on various factors such as the nature of the content, the target audience, and the goals of the instructional program.
Here are some of the most popular instructional design models:
ADDIE Model: ADDIE stands for Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. It is a systematic and iterative process that guides the creation of effective instructional materials.
Merrill's Principles of Instruction: This model focuses on five principles: activation, demonstration, application, integration, and testing. It promotes an active and learner-centered approach to instruction.
Gagne's Nine Events of Instruction: This model provides a series of nine steps that instructional designers can follow to create effective learning experiences. It includes elements such as gaining attention, providing guidance, and assessing performance.
Bloom's Taxonomy: Although not a traditional instructional design model, Bloom's Taxonomy is widely used to classify and organize learning objectives. It categorizes cognitive skills into six levels, ranging from simple recall to complex analysis and evaluation.
Rapid Prototyping: This approach emphasizes quick design iterations and feedback. It involves creating a basic prototype, testing it with learners, and refining the instructional materials based on feedback.
Action Mapping: This model, developed by Cathy Moore, focuses on aligning instructional design with real-world performance. It involves identifying performance goals, analyzing the learners' needs, and designing activities that directly support those goals.
It's important to note that instructional design models are not necessarily mutually exclusive, and many designers adapt and combine elements from multiple models based on their specific needs and contexts. Over time I am going to look to add more detailed articles for each, so keep a look out for those!

Much of the health care industry's effort to improve health care payment and delivery centers around improving primary care. This is largely because Americans suffer more disease/disease burden throughout their life spans compared to individuals in other industrialized countries. This therefore makes obvious sense since primary care is the foundation upon which an effective and efficient health care/medical care program is built. When done well primary care promotes wellness, prevents disease onset, progression, exacerbation and prevents premature death. Primary care also moderates the need for higher cost specialty care and improves population health. For numerous reasons, not least of which is inadequate reimbursement, primary care delivery has been sub-optimal. New models of primary care are emerging, one termed direct primary care (noted in the ACA under Section 1301 (A) (3) and now recognized in 13 states) is showing promise in improving quality, improving patient satisfaction and lowering cost growth.
During this 21 minute conversation Dr. Judge discusses moreover the impetus for the creation of Iora Healh, how Iora's primary care delivery model works or how it is different from traditional primary care delivery, how Iora's model is staffed, IT supported and reimbursed, with whom and how it contracts and what Iora's performance data demonstrates to date.
Dr. David Judge serves as Iora Health's Chief Medical Officer. Dr. Judge joined Iora in 2014 to continue his work in improving and redesigning of primary care. Priorto , he helped found and was the Medical Director of the Ambulatory Practice of the Future at Mass. General Hospital. David received his undergraduate degree in biomedical engineering and public health studies at Brown University and attended University of Mass. Medical School. He completed his residency training in internal medicine at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City. | eng | 39456979-192c-450d-b240-a6007d5307bd | https://www.thehealthcarepolicypodcast.com/p/iora-healths-novel-approach-to-delivering-739 |
How to build a tool-using agent with LangChain
This notebook takes you through how to use LangChain to augment an OpenAI model with access to external tools. In particular, you'll be able to create LLM agents that use custom tools to answer user queries.
LangChain is a framework for developing applications powered by language models. Their framework enables you to build layered LLM-powered applications that are context-aware and able to interact dynamically with their environment as agents, leading to simplified code for you and a more dynamic user experience for your customers.
One of the most common challenges with LLMs is overcoming the lack of recency and specificity in their training data - answers can be out of date, and they are prone to hallucinations given the huge variety in their knowledge base. Tools are a great method of allowing an LLM to answer within a controlled context that draws on your existing knowledge bases and internal APIs - instead of trying to prompt engineer the LLM all the way to your intended answer, you allow it access to tools that it calls on dynamically for info, parses, and serves to customer.
Providing LLMs access to tools can enable them to answer questions with context directly from search engines, APIs or your own databases. Instead of answering directly, an LLM with access to tools can perform intermediate steps to gather relevant information. Tools can also be used in combination. For example, a language model can be made to use a search tool to lookup quantitative information and a calculator to execute calculations.
An LLM agent in Langchain has many configurable components, which are detailed in the Langchain documentation.
We'll employ a few of the core concepts to make an agent that talks in the way we want, can use tools to answer questions, and uses the appropriate language model to power the conversation.
Prompt Template: The input template to control the LLM's behaviour and how it accepts inputs and produces outputs - this is the brain that drives your application (docs).
Output Parser: A method of parsing the output from the prompt. If the LLM produces output using certain headers, you can enable complex interactions where variables are generated by the LLM in their response and passed into the next step of the chain (docs).
LLM Chain: A Chain brings together a prompt template with an LLM that will execute it - in this case we'll be using gpt-3.5-turbo but this framework can be used with OpenAI completions models, or other LLMs entirely (docs).
Tool: An external service that the LLM can use to retrieve information or execute commands should the user require it (docs).
Agent: The glue that brings all of this together, an agent can call multiple LLM Chains, each with their own tools. Agents can be extended with your own logic to allow retries, error handling and any other methods you choose to add reliability to your application (docs).
NB: Before using this cookbook with the Search tool you'll need to sign up on and generate an API key. Once you have it, store it in an environment variable named SERPAPI_API_KEY

Create a custom vectorstore for the Agent to use as a tool to answer questions with. We'll store the results in Pinecone, which is supported by LangChain (Docs, API reference). For help getting started with Pinecone or other vector databases, we have a cookbook to help you get started.

Title: sysk: Can You Live Without a Bank Account?
Title: sysk_with_transcripts_Can you live without a bank account.json; And if you had a life, you didn't necessarily rectify your bank checkbook every day. Oh, wait, what is balancing a checkbook mean? Seriously? Yeah. Thank God for my wife. So another reason you might avoid a bank is philosophically. There may be a longstanding distrust of banks in your family that you don't want to put your money in, or you may just want to be like, you know what? I don't want to take part in this modern society. I want to kind of drop out a bit. And a really good first move is to shut your bank account down. That's a big statement. Oh, yeah, it is. But a lot of people that are underbanked and don't have accounts aren't there on purpose. It's not some philosophical statement. A lot of times it's simply because they are poor and they don't have a lot of alternatives. Yeah. And the other thing about not having a bank account, not only do you not have a bank account, you also are, like, basically just avoiding banks altogether. There's plenty of other things that banks offer, like loans and mortgage, lollipops, stuff like that. Yeah. Maybe some free nasty coffee. So when you don't have a banking account, that's like the most basic unit of the banking world. Right. If you don't have that, you obviously aren't going to be exposed to all these other things that can help. Things like build your credit history through like a revolving loan or a mortgage or a car loan or something like that that you can build up your credit for and ultimately save money. So when you don't have a bank account, for whatever reason, you are effectively out of the banking system. The problem is you can live parallel to the banking system outside of it, but it can be really dangerous, especially if you're just dealing with cash, because that cash has to stay somewhere, whether it's on you or in your mattress or in a coffee can in your backyard. You're exposed for having that readily available to anybody who finds it or comes into your house with a gun to get it. Yes.

Explore the possibilities at CapitalOne. comCOMMERCIAL all right, so if you live in modern society today, it is pretty tough to get by without a bank. Most cases these days you have well, I don't know about most cases, but in many cases you have automatic deposits of your work checks. Sure. A lot of people pay their bills wirelessly, online, directly from their bank. You might have a student loan, you might have a car loan, you might have your house mortgage, you might pay your credit card bills. All this stuff is running through a bank, most likely. And you would think it's probably impossible to not have a bank account these days. And I would say pretty much all Americans have them. Not true. Well, pretty much all Americans do. Like 93% do. Yeah, but that's not all. No, it's true.
Title: sysk: Can You Live Without a Bank Account?
Title: sysk_with_transcripts_Can you live without a bank account.json; Yeah. 7% of Americans do not have bank accounts. About 9 million people last year in 2015 did not have bank accounts. 9 million people is a lot of people. No, it really is. And apparently that's household sorry, not people. Yeah, right. You're that is a big distinction, too. And the FDIC said, man, that's the lowest since we've been tracking this by far. And someone said, well, how long have you been tracking this? They said, well, the last six years. Really? Yeah, which I'm like. Really? That's when they started tracking it, but apparently so 2009. So if you want another number, the 9 million American households don't have bank accounts at all, then there are 25 million households in addition to that. So that makes almost like 34 million households, which that's a substantial number at this point. Sure. The 25 million are what's called underbanked, meaning they may have a bank account, but they don't use the bank account. Yeah. They don't use it because they are probably afraid of overdraft fees. Or they have maybe a bank account that got grandfathered in so that they don't have to pay minimum amount fees. And who knows? There's all sorts of reasons for people to not use a bank account that they have, but probably cheap among them is overdressed, which you'll talk more about. Yeah. And the majority of these underbank people in the United States are poor, usually. A lot of times they're minorities, a lot of times they're less educated. And these communities, there's a few reasons why they may not want to use a bank one. Maybe they don't trust banks. And if you look in the history of the United States or certainly even we're just talking about the Wells Fargo scandal, when you see stuff like that on the news, it should be upsetting to everyone. But obviously if you're poor and you don't have a lot of money, that may scare you into not wanting to use a bank at all. Right? Yeah.
Title: sysk: Can You Live Without a Bank Account?
Title: sysk_with_transcripts_Can you live without a bank account.json; Maybe at the time, I might be making it up. I seem to remember them saying that, and I was like, I don't want that. Just let the check bounce and I'll take it up with them. Yes. The way it was marketed, though, was like, hey, we value you. We want to make sure that you can pay all your bills. So if something happens and you're overdrafted we'll cover it. We're just going to charge you a fee. And it sounds good, but again, when you go from high to low and all of a sudden your overdraft fees go from one to four or five or however many, that's a huge problem. Well, and the people that are overdrafting and the people that are at least able to afford those fees. Exactly. So it's a disproportionate burden on the poor, which makes it, as a scam, one of the more evil scams around. Yes. It's just wrong, then the idea that if you open an account, you should not opt in for overdraft protection. And it's easy to say when you're talking about checks for, like you're writing a check for a Mountain Dew and some cheetos. Yeah, who cares if you're short for that? You can go without that. But when you're talking about your rent check or like an actual grocery bill or something like that, it sucks that you can't get that stuff. But it's better to have to put a couple of things back than to pay $35 for one $2 item that you went over by, right? Yeah, that's a good point. And this was in my case, too. This is also back in the day when you I mean, a lot of times it was a mystery how much you had in your account. Right. Like, you couldn't just get on your phone before you write the check and be like, oh, well, no, I don't have enough money to cover this. Yeah, because even if you balanced your checkbook, sometimes you forgot to carry the one, it wasn't always 100% accurate.

Deng Xiaoping Essays
Deng Xiaoping
China has a long history with several great leaders, but none of those
leaders have even come close to being as great as Deng Xiaoping. Deng Xiaoping
was a loyal communist who sacrificed his own life so his people could have a
better one. During his long political career, he served as a Communist
politcommissar of the 129th Division (Liu-Deng Army) from 1929 to 1949. As
politcommissar, he bravely and successfully fought the Nationalists. In 1945,
he was elected to the Central Committee
Confucius and Deng Xiaoping chinese leaders
Deng Xiaoping and confucius are an important figures for the history of China, they transformed China.
Confucius was the most influential philosopher, also the first teacher in China who was instrumental in establishing teaching as a vocation.
Deng Xiaoping engineered reforms in all aspects of China's and Deng transformed the world's most populous nation.
Confucius and Deng Xiaoping were a Chinese leaders, both significant figures. Deng Xiaoping was more powerful
is today. Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping had very different views on China and what needed to be done. Deng Xiaoping was the more honorable of the two for many reasons. He was loved and trusted by his people, and was a hard working leader who got the job done. Even though Mao Zedong led the communist to a win against the nationalist, Deng Xiaoping should be known as the most honored man in Chinese history because of his overall impact on China.
Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping both had very different
From 1977 to his death in 1994, China was under the influence of Deng Xiaoping's rule. Deng Xiaoping was the mind behind most of the economic and social changes. Hua Guofeng took power right after Mao's death in 1976. However, he was removed for being too soft on student revolts in 1987. Some of the changes were big changes to the economy, which also changed the government from a socialist type to a Bureaucratic government to a what government?. Under Mao, the country was strictly communist, and
people, Deng Xiaoping is considered as one of the most powerful leader of the People's Republic of China from late 1970's until he died in 1997. His noteworthy efforts to bring back China's prosperity following the consequences of the Cultural Revolution resulted in the country's economic, cultural and social expansion. The outcome of his passion and belief in the potential of China is still noticeable today.
Deng Xiaoping was born in 1904 in Paifang, Guang'an country in Sichuan. His father, Deng Wenming
decreased and riots began to break out. Deng Xiaoping was the leader that succeeded Mao after his death in 1976, and his reforms helped turn around the country's economic and social situation. Careful strategic moves made by Deng allowed other countries to invest in China's economy and the government gave people more control over their land and education. He also reduced the power of the government, moving away from Communism and towards democracy. Deng Xiaoping had a positive influence on China because
industrial modernization of China, yet this policy resulted in poverty and famine. During the 1960s, the Cultural Revolution defined opposition to Mao's economic policies, which utilized the state as a way to condemn political opponents, such as Deng Xiaoping, that defined the failure of the communist state. Mao's downfall began to
The victory of the Communist Party of China (CPC) defined an era in which the promise of a collective state would serve the unite the Chinese people and bring them together
In 1978 Deng Xiaoping became the leader of China and began an ambitious program of economic reform. Under Deng Xiaoping's modernization policies, the country was opened to the outside world that foreigners were encouraged to bring technical information and managerial knowledge to China. The new policies encouraged private and collective business, so that higher skill levels of workers were needed to develop the new China. My grandfather, Shidao Liu, is an exemplar of rural people who obtained opportunity
instead of their own self-interest. From 1949, Mao established a communist political system influenced by Marxism, which was altered slightly over the years but still remaining the kind of system he wanted. However, changes made by leaders such as Deng Xiaoping after The Great Leap Forward introduced new right-wing capitalist policies, such as the encouragement of private markets, which would allow the Chinese economy to recover from The Great Leap Forward. These measures were sustained as the policies
Foreign Intervention did play a pivotal role in transforming China during this period. Throughout this essay I will be assessing the impact of foreign intervention through each of the leaders of China. Deng modernised the Chinese economy in a way that had never been seen making it one of the leading economies of the 20th century through the use of foreign influence but he made little political impact. Mao, on the other hand, damaged the economy greatly and his political reform means that his legacy
Xi Jinping and his rise to Chinese presidency began in Beijing during China's reforms under Mao Zedong. His father was a communist party leader that was persecuted after Mao turned on his own party during the communist revolution. Though Mao's cultural revolution did not exactly succeed, it threw young Xi Jinping into the political world with concepts of pragmatism and bureaucratic ideas. He moved to the southeastern part of China where he developed the economic and political roots that set him on

In 1973, many officials were reinstated in high up jobs, like Deng Xiaoping. Three million people were finally "rehabilitated" in 1978 and had their revisionist and rightist label renounced. The urban youth who had jumped to help Mao were now at the bottom of the totem pole and were sent to the countryside where they were
collected from textbooks, official documents, biographies and eyewitness reports about the events between 1959 and 1966. I will describe the failure of the Great Leap Forward, Mao's resignation as president, his power struggle with Liu Shoaqi and Deng Xiaoping and the propagating of his personality cult. Then I will identify how these events may have given Mao reasons for launching the Cultural Revolution, and whether his motives were of an ideological or selfish nature. After carrying out a Source
Globalization has brought Chinese companies with four significant opportunities to do business. The first opportunity is the reduction of manufacturing costs, which are mainly caused by scale economy (Bird & Rajan 2001). According to Hitt, Ireland & Hoskisson (2007), the concept of scale economy is that a firm's unit cost decreases as the output increases. Because globalization leads Chinese companies to expand worldwide, they produce more output and manufacture under the economies of scale. Therefore
Chinas Economy
China has experienced major economic growth in the past forty years, but how did it develop into the economically powerful country that it is today? China has been through many difficulties and complications to get to the place it is at today. China's government is called the People's Republic of China and it operates on a socialist market economy. The culture of China is very diverse, it has fifty-six minority groups and many cultures have their own languages. However, the Chinese
I. Introduction
China endured a turbulent period throughout the 20th century as massive transformations took place, most notably, those lead by Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping. Mao led the foundation of communism in China, establishing the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1949, and established himself as the figurehead of China until his death in 1976. Mao inspired people with his unwavering idealism and revolutionary spirit. His ideas of an ideal egalitarian society shaped his policies and decisions
The Cultural Revolution (CR) refers to an attempt by Party Chairman Mao Zedong to change thoughts and attitudes in China from 1966 to 1969. It included purges by Red Guards and the creation of a cult of personality, surrounding Mao, through the publication of his Little Red Book. The Revolution was launched in 1966, yet the reasons for its launch remain to be debated. Many have argued that Mao started the CR to revitalise China's culture and rid the country of re-emerging capitalist elements. Yet

The Democratic Change in China
China is the largest developing country in today's world and the rapid growth of the Chinese economy has attracted attention from all over the world. Some people falsely think that China is a country that China is only pursuing their economic reform, but without any democratic changes. On the contrary, China actually has a long history of democratic reforms. China has a different way of democratic reform that different from western-style
in 2007. Thus far China has only started to implement regulations due to the outrage of the people and many are not followed. China's environment shall definitely turn farther from green and decline as government regulations are ignored.
Under Deng Xiaoping, China's industry began to flourish. They became the world's manufacturer of just about everything imaginable and thirty years later they have become the largest manufacturer in the world. This allowed them to make up for the time they lost in
globe. Some of the Western influence has been intentional and negative but the overall effects are positive on countries economies and cultures.
China is renowned for its nationalism and opposition to the West. It wasn't until the 1970's, when Deng Xiaoping allowed other countries into China, that they began their own globalization journey. Even after that huge leap forward, a mixed market economy with trade didn't really materialize until the 1990's.

Architecting Modern Web Applications
Read the article [responsivevoice_button buttontext='Hear the article' voice='US English Female']
Introduction
Modern Web Applications Architecture that is built on client side MVC framework and utilizing server side RESTful web services to provide desktop-like rich browser interfaces and leads to reusability, simplicity, extensibility, and clear separation of component responsibilities compare to traditional web application architecture.
Ajax (client side MVC) and RESTful Web services naturally fit with each other. They both leverage widely available Web technologies and standards such as HTML, JavaScript, browser objects, XML/JSON, and HTTP.
There is absolutely no need to buy, install, or configure any other major component to enable effective interaction between Ajax front ends and RESTful Web services. RESTful Web services provide Ajax with a very simple API to deal with the interactions with resources on the server.
Challenge
Advances in client-side technologies are driving changes in the role of today's web application server.
Android, iOS and purely browser-based clients are powerful computing platforms in their own right. Their success has led to a reevaluation of 'classic' web applications.
Client side MVC frameworks, such as Angular, Backbone, Ember, Ext, have been developed that enable client-side developers to build powerful and compelling UIs.
RESTful Web services have emerged as a promising alternative to SOAP-based services due to their simplicity, lightweight nature, and the ability to transmit data directly over HTTP.
The question that remains is how to design and implement these modern web applications.
This next section provides guidance for web application developers and architects wanting to learn how to incorporate browser-based clients into an existing service-based architecture.
Solution
Single Page Application (SPA) is developed using AngularJS, Bootstrap and RESTful web service API. AngularJS was used mainly because of its smaller footprint (370k), large community support, responsive design and Google's backing. Bootstrap is the most popular HTML, CSS, and JS framework for developing responsive, mobile first projects on the web.
RESTful web services layer which is built upon spring framework. Services will be called from client through AJAX call from AngularJS code and presentation view will be updated dynamically.
Conclusion
To conclude, here is a summary of some of the key benefits of modern web application architecture which is also known as Single Page Application (SPA) implemented in AngularJS + RESTful web services by eInfochips team for clients.
The AngularJS JavaScript based client-side MVC framework supports the rapid development of client-side applications. Rich user experiences can be easily implemented by HTML5 and JavaScript. This eliminates the need for server-side HTML rendering.
Single Page Application based on client side MVC framework have ability to update particular portion of page dynamically without retrieving whole HTML page through AJAX call which will provide better user interaction and quick response from server as compare to the traditional web application.
Flexibility in UI design is other major advantage of modern web application architecture where re-writing front-end with zero impact on the server aside from some static resource file. This will be helpful in deployments and version consistency of API. | eng | 2c0cfbd8-d652-4e1f-a164-ce551094c3c3 | https://www.einfochips.com/blog/architecting-modern-web-applications/ |
How do you install a curved aluminum fence?
Installing a curved aluminum fence requires a few tools and supplies, as well as patience and careful preparation. Firstly, you should mark out the area you want the fence to be installed. To do this you can use marking paint, a survey wheel, or a measuring tape and string line.
Mark the measurements for the fence posts and the position for each fence panel so that you know exactly what is going to go where.
Once you have marked out the area, you can then begin to install the posts. Make sure to leave at least 2" of small concrete below the post before setting the post into the ground. To make the posts secure you should use appropriate brackets or anchors and make sure to strengthen the fence posts with concrete, depending on your local regulations.
After the posts are set, you are ready to attach the aluminum fence panels.
Next you will need to fasten posts onto the mounting brackets. Determine where the horizontal rails or planks of the fence panels will go and make sure to attach rails in between the post and the mounting bracket, using screws if necessary.
Once you have assembled the aluminum fence panels, you can start to hang them on the posts.
Finally, to give the posts a more polished look, you may choose to add a finishing touch with cap or post skirts. This is important, particularly if you want your fence to last long-term and stand up to the elements.
Your fence installation is now complete and you can enjoy your brand-new, beautiful curved aluminum fence.
Can fencing be curved?
Yes, fencing can be curved. Depending on the material used for the fence, it can be formed into curves of varying sizes and shapes. Wood fencing is especially flexible for creating curved designs. Some materials, like vinyl, are designed to fit directly into curved shapes without additional shaping.
Other materials like wrought iron, aluminum, and chain-link, may require specialized experience and custom fabrication to create curved structures. It is important to consider both the size of the curve and the material being used when considering a curved fence, as these two factors affect the strength and longevity of the fence.
Additionally, curved fences often require more space than linear fences, so it is important to determine the total space needed to accommodate the design. A professional fencing contractor with experience in curved fencing can help you plan your project, provide tips and advice, and recommend the best materials to meet your needs and budget.
Does aluminum fence bend easily?
No, aluminum fence does not bend easily. Aluminum fencing is designed to be rigid and steel-like in its strength and stability, making it very difficult to bend or break. It is an extremely durable fencing material that will stand up to high winds and severe weather events.
Aluminum fencing is constructed with robust components built to maintain their shape and form even after years of use. Unlike other fencing materials, aluminum does not rust or rot, so it can maintain its beautiful appearance for many years.
While it is possible to bend aluminum fencing, the fence must be heated either manually or via mechanical means, such as with a torch, before it will become malleable enough to manipulate. Doing this may weaken the fence's structural integrity and void the manufacturer's warranty.
Therefore, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation and use of the material.
Can you angle aluminum fence?
Yes, you can angle aluminum fence. Building an angled aluminum fence requires flat installation at regular intervals, special posts and extensions, and horizontal railing. In order to angle an aluminum fence, the posts should be connected to the rails at an angle instead of at the traditional 90-degree angle that's usually used.
You'll have to measure and mark the posts in order to get the angle you need. The next step is to trim the aluminum rails so that they fit the angle of the posts and rails. This can be done using a power saw or pliers.
After the rails are in place, you'll need to attach the posts to the rails. This is a simple process, but make sure the posts are secure. Finally, make sure the fence gates are installed with the same angle as the rest of the fence.
This will create a uniform look and seamlessly connect the angled sections. Doing this yourself is an achievable task, but having an experienced professional can help you achieve the results you need quickly and efficiently.
How do you install a picket fence on a curve?
Installing a picket fence on a curve can be challenging but ultimately rewarding. The first step is to establish the post locations along the curve, making sure to identify the beginning and ending locations of the fence.
String a line between these two points to visually guide your installation and ensure that your fence is installed in its intended shape. Before installing the posts, use a hand tamper or compactor to pack down the soil to ensure the posts are set in stable ground.
Make sure to dig holes 2 feet deep for the posts and to accommodate the width of the posts you plan to use. Once your posts are in place, you can begin to lay out the pickets. Be sure to measure the distance between each picket to ensure uniform spacing and correctly install the cap on the post.
As the installation continues, a level can be used to ensure each picket is installed correctly and is aligned with the others. Finally, complete the installation with the addition of tools such as a 90-degree corner picket, fasteners, and nails.
With the correct preparation, tools, and execution, you can create a beautiful and cohesive picket fence on a curved surface.
Can you bend vinyl fencing?
No, it is not recommended to bend vinyl fencing. This is because vinyl fencing is made from rigid plastic and it is not designed to be bent or manipulated. It can crack when subjected to such force and can be permanently damaged.
When installing a vinyl fence, it is best to use a post that is designed for the application and is the correct size, with pre-drilled holes that are the correct size. If a flexible fence is needed, it may be better to find a type of fencing material that is specifically designed to bend without cracking or breaking.
How do you attach a fence panel to an angle?
Attaching a fence panel at an angle requires you to have the tools and materials necessary in order to get the job done properly. First, you'll need to determine the angle of your fence panel and then measure and mark the posts at both ends of the panel.
Next, you'll need to cut a piece of 2×4 to the length necessary to accommodate the angle of the panel. Along with the 2×4, you'll need to have a treated shim, lag screws, and wood glue available.
Begin by attaching the 2×4 to one post with the lag screws. Make sure the 2×4 is aligned to the angle of the post and that it is plumb so that it will provide a stable foundation for the panel. Once the 2×4 is secured to the post, add the treated shim to the top and bottom of the 2×4.
Next, place the fence panel into position, making sure it is flush with the 2×4 and that it is plumb and level. Then, secure the panel to the post and the 2×4 using the lag screws and wood glue, making sure the screws are properly countersunk.
Finally, repeat this process for the other post, making sure the fence panel remains level and is securely secured to both posts.
How do you build a 45 degree corner on a privacy fence?
Building a 45 degree corner on a privacy fence requires accurate measurements and cutting of the wood slats. Before starting, you'll want to ensure you have all necessary materials such as nails, screws, a level, tape measure, saw, and a hammer.
Step 1: Calculate the angle of the corner. To do this, measure the space between each post and subtract 1.5-2 inches for the overlapping boards. This will give you the true angle of the corner so you will know exactly how much to cut the boards.
Step 2: Mark the boards. Do a dry run by laying all the boards flat on the ground and marking the space where the 45 degree corner will be. Cut accordingly, making sure to slightly under-cut the boards if necessary as they can be fine-tuned at installation.
Step 3: Install the boards. Begin with the boards at the bottom of the fence and measure their length and levelness before installing. Start with the bottom board and move up to the top, nailing each board to the post.
If the boards are not fitting flush, hammer gently along the left or right side to create a slight bend so that it fits tight up against the other boards.
Step 4: Secure the boards. Once all the boards are in place, check for gaps between the boards and in the corner, and secure them as necessary. Use wood screws or galvanized nails to finish the job and finish with a fresh coat of paint.
All in all, building a 45 degree corner on a privacy fence is a relatively simple task if all the measurements are taken and the boards are cut precisely. With time, accuracy, and the right tools, you'll have a sturdy and classy privacy fence corner in no time.
Do fence corners have to be 90 degrees?
No, fence corners do not have to be 90 degrees. Many fence designs feature 45-degree angles or slight curves as opposed to traditional 90-degree corners. Depending on the material used, some fences may allow for greater flexibility when it comes to corner angles.
Regardless of the shape of the corner, it is important to make sure your fence is secure, stable and meets all local building codes before beginning a fence installation project. Additionally, make sure to measure your angles carefully and use the correct hardware to ensure the corners are firmly attached to the posts.
What is a line post?
A line post is a type of post on a social media platform or blog. It typically consists of a single line of text that conveys a message, such as an opinion, thought, an announcement, or a call-to-action.
The text of a line post may be accompanied by an image or a video, or it may simply be a single line of text. Line posts can be used to generate engagement, announce important news or updates, and increase brand awareness.
They are usually limited to about 140 characters, which makes them suited for short, concise messages that can quickly draw attention online. Line posts can be used to call attention to an event, rally people around a cause, or to simply get the viewers engaged in learning more about the post's subject. | eng | 10f9de3a-1365-4461-8271-10d2abfc8130 | https://www.remodelormove.com/how-do-you-install-a-curved-aluminum-fence/ |

Keira Knightley says she will not strip down for sex scenes directed by men 'because I'm too vain'
Keira Knightley and director Lulu Wang were a part of a podcast presented by Chanel Connects. This conversation was led by writer Diane Solway and it was in this podcast that Knightley had revealed she would no longer be stripping down for sex scenes that are directed by men. She first explained that the ban is not on sexual scenes entirely but just the ones directed by men and said, "I don't have an absolute ban, but I kind of do with men."
She further stated, "It's partly vanity and also it's the male gaze." One of the sex scenes that Knightley had acted in was featured in 'Atonement' and she had in fact praised the direction of the scene by Joe Wright. Speaking of why she had felt uncomfortable at present, she explained, "I feel very uncomfortable now trying to portray the male gaze. Saying that, there's times where I go, 'Yeah, I completely see where this sex would be really good in this film, and you basically just need somebody to look hot'."

She also confirmed that she would be open to performing more sexual scenes but it has to definitely be with a female director. She explained, "If I was making a story that was about that journey of motherhood and body acceptance, I feel like, I'm sorry, but that would have to be with a female filmmaker," and added, "I don't want it to be those horrible sex scenes where you're all greased up and everybody is grunting. I'm not interested in doing that."

She also spoke about how motherhood had changed her feelings about scenes that have nudity. She said that she would prefer to see actors get cast for those parts and said, "So, therefore, you can use somebody else, because I'm too vain and the body has had two children now, and I'd just rather not stand in front of a group of men naked."

She also noted that more female directors need to dabble in films that have sex scenes and direct them so that the male directors understand why actors would feel uncomfortable. She explained, "We all empathize with men hugely because, culturally, their experience is so explored. We know so many aspects of even male sexuality. But we don't feel like men can say, 'Yes, I understand what you're talking about, because I've got this wealth of art and film and theater and TV from your point of view'."

When you have your home improvement goal firmly set, it's worth your time to hit the Internet and look for "how to" articles that apply to your specific situation
In the recent past, many American homes contained walls that were made of gypsum plaster – a combination of powder and water applied over a wire mesh. This process was rather lengthy and in an effort to meet the demands of a growing population and need for faster building, drywall was invented.
Also known as plasterboard, drywall is made of pre-dried plaster panels: plaster or wood pulp or other materials. Used primarily to form the interior walls of houses, your contractor may erect drywall as part of building a home addition, garage, or even as part of refinishing your basement.
While you're patiently waiting for your contractor to build your private masterpiece, you'll appreciate how well things start to come together and look almost complete once drywall is erected.
Drywall Is Fast!
Drywall comes as sheets of plasterboard of various sizes. Depending upon the use of a room, your contractor may choose thicker plasterboard especially in a room for young children and bouncing toys. Thinner plasterboard is appropriate for areas of the house used less frequently. Using these panels, your contractor will essentially line them up against the studs of the wall's structure and hammer the sides of them into the wood. The process is repeated when applying drywall to the ceiling as well.
Although measurements and secure nailing is important, the artistry of drywall begins during the taping stage. Taping is the process of concealing the joints between drywall panels. It isn't hard to imagine that placing drywall panels next to each other creates unsightly lines or gaps. These gaps are called joints and taping conceals them. But this isn't ordinary tape that we're talking about.
Signs Of A Good Drywall Job
Contractors tape drywall by first covering its joints with cement, then with a paper strip, and then with more cement. After using a few smoothing techniques, it's hard to distinguish where a drywall panel starts and ends. In a good drywall job, it's also almost impossible to find where the panels were nailed into the studs behind them.
And a good dry Waller knows how to patch holes as well. In the past, we were told that repairing a hole by stuffing it with newspaper and patching it with material like Spackle is just fine. Professional contractors will tell you however, that although this method works, it leaves weak spots and there's a better method that requires the expertise of a professional dry Waller.
Two Signs of A Good Drywall Contractor
Good drywall contractors follow up their initial nailing with a set of second long nails or screws. The second set of nails acts as reinforcement – ensuring that your walls won't fall down during an important family event or while sleeping! They're also careful to mix up a batch of cement that doesn't form air bubbles in the wall's seams upon drying.
These are just a couple of strategies that your drywall contractor will use to create a surrounding just as secure as the foundation that it sits on. | eng | 1576a75e-d769-44e3-9fe2-ab3f2aa6a9f1 | https://www.ruinun.com/the-basics-of-drywall |

Debian AppArmor Tutorial
Debian AppArmor Tutorial: A Comprehensive Guide
AppArmor is a security module for the Linux kernel that enables administrators to limit application behavior. It adds an additional layer of security by limiting the actions that can be performed by programs, hence lowering the chance of security breaches. This article will cover the basics of AppArmor and how to utilize it on Debian.
What is AppArmor?
AppArmor is an integrated security module for the Linux kernel. It enables administrators to limit the behavior of apps, preventing them from gaining access to important system resources. AppArmor enables the definition of policies that determine what an application is permitted to perform and which resources it may access. These policies can be applied to specific apps, application groups, or the entire system.
AppArmor is comparable to SELinux, another Linux kernel security module, but has a simpler syntax and is easier to use. AppArmor is also less intrusive than SELinux because it does not require Linux kernel modifications.
Installing AppArmor on Debian
Before using AppArmor on Debian, it must be installed. AppArmor is provided in the Debian repository, making installation simple. Open a terminal and type the following command to install AppArmor:
sudo apt-get install apparmor
This will install AppArmor along with all of its prerequisites. After the installation is complete, AppArmor can be utilized.
Creating an AppArmor Profile
To begin utilizing AppArmor, you must first establish a profile for the program you wish to protect. A profile describes the actions and resources an application is permitted to access. Manually or with the aid of programs such as aa-genprof, profiles can be built.
To manually construct a profile, you must create a file with the application's name in the /etc/apparmor.d directory. To construct a profile for the Apache web server, for instance, you would create the /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.apache2 file. In this file, you would specify the necessary permissions for the Apache web server to work. Here's an illustration:
This profile grants the Apache web server permission to read and write to the /var/www/html directory, read log files from the /var/log/apache2 directory, and access other required resources. Once the profile has been produced, it must be loaded into the kernel using the following command:
sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.sbin.apache2
This loads the profile into the kernel and applies it to the Apache web server. web server.
Testing the AppArmor Profile
When creating an AppArmor profile for an application, it is essential to test it to ensure that it is functioning properly. You can accomplish this by observing the application's behavior while it is executing. If the profile is functioning properly, the application should only have access to the profile-defined resources.
To test the previously built Apache web server profile, you can start the server and attempt to access files it should not be allowed to access. Create a file in the /tmp directory and attempt to access it via the web server, for instance. If the profile is functioning properly, the web server should not have access to the file.
Managing AppArmor Profiles
Many programs, including aa-genprof, aa-logprof, and aa-status, can be used to maintain AppArmor profiles. These tools permit the creation, modification, and monitoring of AppArmor profiles.
aa-genprof is an utility that may be used to automatically generate a profile for an application. It operates by observing the application's activity and generating a profile based on its behaviors. This can be a helpful tool if you are uncertain about the permissions a program requires.
aa-logprof is a tool that can be used to examine AppArmor logs and generate a profile based on the activities performed by an application. When an application behaves unexpectedly and you need to generate a profile quickly, this can be handy.
aa-status is an utility for displaying the current status of AppArmor on the system. It displays which profiles are loaded and which programs are protected by AppArmor.
Conclusion
AppArmor is a sophisticated Linux system security tool. By limiting the operations of programs, it adds a layer of security that can assist avoid security breaches. ThisAdditional Resources
If you would like to learn more about AppArmor, there are several resources that you can use:
By reading these resources, you can learn more about how AppArmor works, its capabilities, and how to use it effectively.
Final Thoughts
Protecting a Linux system is a difficult endeavor requiring numerous levels of protection. AppArmor is one of these layers that can help safeguard your system from security threats. By limiting the behavior of apps using AppArmor, you may lower the risk of unwanted access to important data and prevent malware from causing system damage.

Pollenallergy and other allergies
Pollenallergi Löddeköpinge
Many seem to believe that hypnosis cannot work for allergies such as pollen and grass. Firstly, I dare say that's ignorance. In fact, there is a particularly large skepticism in Sweden despite the fact that it actually works.
There are both real customer cases that show that hypnosis can completely change pollen allergies, i.e. the body no longer reacts and you can have a free life outdoors.
Likewise, research supports that hypnosis provides positive improvements (perhaps not as effective when it is self-hypnosis as when you get help from a qualified hypnotherapist).
Consider this Since ancient times, our biological body has been in nature and adapted for survival. Therefore, logically speaking, the body is actually very used to pollen. This applies to most allergies, from pollen, grass, fur, dust, mite allergies, etc.
So there is a misunderstanding in your body and subconscious. Why else is it possible to change?
You find successtories both from clients and research.
For further research studies se my blog.
Does your medical test results show a pollen allergy
Once again, we can improve the response by showing the body how to react in a more beneficial way for you.
Asthma - can be triggered by pollen
It is not uncommon for allergic asthma to be triggered by pollen allergy, so it is beneficial to change and reduce pollen allergy now that you know it is possible.
Do you feel how your allergy is limiting you?
Try hypnotherapy. It is a natural way, without side effects, that either greatly reduces pollen allergy or even eliminates it for good.
You have nothing to lose
- so give yourself the opportunity for an easier life.
Hypnosis and fur allergies
Why is hypnosis and hypnotherapy so effective?
Hypnotherapy can indeed have a profound effect on some people's allergies, including complete relief from symptoms. This can happen because hypnotherapy works with the subconscious mind, which plays a significant role in our body's immune response.
One explanation for this phenomenon is that hypnotherapy can help modify the immune response to allergens. By accessing the subconscious mind, a skilled hypnotherapist can provide suggestions that help alter the way your body perceives and reacts to allergens. This could result in a reduced immune response, leading to fewer or no allergy symptoms.
Additionally, hypnotherapy help create new neural pathways in the brain that show and change how the immune system now can respond to allergens. By retraining the mind, it's possible to influence the way the body perceives and reacts to allergens, potentially eliminating the allergic response altogether.
Read studies and research below...
Pollen Allergy
Pollen allergy can also be called hay fever. Te most common allergic reactions are from birchtrees but many other trees, bushes and plants can give symptoms.
Grass Allergy Hay Fever
The symptoms of grass allergy or hay fever is almost the same ass Pollen allergy but can also give some rashes.
Fur Allergy
There are different kinds of fur allergies, the most common is horse, dogs, cats, guinea pigs and hamsters
Cat or Dog Allergy
It is possible to have a specific animal you react to. Only have allergy towards dogs or only cats.
Research and studies on pollen allergy using hypnosis
Hypnos allergi Löddeköinge
Research has shown that hypnotherapy can be effective in reducing symptoms of pollen allergy.
There are several studies showing the positive effects of hypnotherapy in treating pollen allergy.
A
Another
An additional study published in the European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology examined the effects of hypnotherapy on individuals suffering from pollen allergy and concomitant asthma. The study showed that individuals who received hypnotherapy experienced a significant reduction in both asthma and allergy symptoms, as well as improvements in their quality of life.
Another
A study published in the journal Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics found that hypnosis was effective in reducing allergy symptoms in patients with asthma and hay fever. The study used a combination of hypnosis and cognitive-behavioral therapy to treat the symptoms, and found that patients experienced significant improvement in their symptoms after just six sessions.
A randomized controlled trial published in the journal Clinical and Experimental Allergy found that hypnosis was effective in reducing symptoms of allergic rhinitis. The study used hypnosis to help patients develop coping strategies for their symptoms, and found that the patients who underwent hypnosis experienced a significant reduction in their symptoms compared to the control group.
A study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Research found that hypnosis was effective in reducing allergy symptoms in patients with asthma and hay fever. The study used hypnosis to reduce inflammation in the airways, and found that patients experienced a significant reduction in their symptoms after just four sessions.
A case study published in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found that hypnosis was effective in reducing symptoms of pollen allergy in a patient who had not responded to other treatments. The study used hypnosis to reduce anxiety and increase relaxation, and found that the patient experienced a significant reduction in their symptoms after just two sessions.
In
It is important to note that hypnotherapy is not a replacement for medical treatment, but can be a useful complementary treatment method for reducing symptoms of pollen allergy. By using hypnotherapy as part of a holistic health plan, individuals suffering from pollen allergy can experience significant relief from their symptoms and improve their quality of life | eng | c45821f2-8b68-4102-8f7c-d681227a09ca | https://www.ce-hypnosis.com/pollenallergy-hypnos |
What are disadvantagesHow does capitalism affect the environment?
Capitalism also leads to the pollution of our air and water, soil degradation, deforestation, and the destruction of biodiversity. This trend will accelerate if the ecological crisis is not halted, and could produce a mass extinction of the planet's biodiversity.
What happens in a communist is capitalism bad for environment?
Even though capitalism may seem like a system which creates a virtuous cycle, it also leads to the creation of a vicious cycle that affects the environment. Capitalism is fueled by endless growth of production at the cost of natural resource depletion, pollution and climate change.
How does capitalism cause global warming?
Global warming is human-caused and the culprit is industrial capitalism and its addiction to fossil fuels. The burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas) releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases which trap heat in the atmosphere and contribute to temperature increases.
What is capitalism's biggest problem?
Capitalist societies have three problems: They elevate material values over others. They create winners and losers. They undermine communities.
How does climate change affect consumerism?
In fact, our consumer habits are actually driving climate change. After basic needs are met, consumers begin buying items for social status; as people try to acquire more and more status, more and more expensive status products are needed. Producing all these things generates climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions.
How does communism affect people in the world?
Some are in parliamentary politics, some support a communist dictatorship and some think being communist means they can kill, resort to violence and loot and seize the property of others. In conclusion, Communism is the sources of terrorism and looting.
Why did communism rise in Russia and China?
In Russia, the communists came up because of poverty and not because of nationalism. In China, communism rose because of poverty as well as a threat to nationalism. In Nepal, the rise of communists was not due to poverty but because of nationalism.
What was the impact of communism in Nepal?
Nepal, Durbar Square. A study of the history of communism and communists tells us that they are still obsessed with murder, violence and revenge. But there is no situation now for the communists to cast their influence and impression by violence, intimidation and destruction.
How did communism lead to increased human rights abuses?
Communism led to increased human rights abuses because the returns of the peoples work were not commensurate (Furet 113). Conclusion. Communism is a social practice which led to decline in economic development in the Asian and Hispanic countries. Individual development is very crucial for the growth of a nation. | eng | 2ca3470c-ae95-48b0-a530-bb26ef323703 | https://vypros.com/what-are-disadvantages-of-communism/ |

Nonvolatile, molecular multiferroic devices have now been demonstrated, but it is worth giving some consideration to the issue of whether such devices could be a competitive alternative for solid-state nonvolatile memory. For the Fe (II) spin crossover complex [Fe{H2B(pz)2}2(bipy)], where pz = tris(pyrazol-1-yl)-borohydride and bipy = 2,2′-bipyridine, voltage-controlled isothermal changes in the electronic structure and spin state have been demonstrated and are accompanied by changes in conductance. Higher conductance is seen with [Fe{H2B(pz)2}2(bipy)] in the high spin state, while lower conductance occurs for the low spin state. Plausibly, there is the potential here for low-cost molecular solid-state memory because the essential molecular thin films are easily fabricated. However, successful device fabrication does not mean a device that has a practical value. Here, we discuss the progress and challenges yet facing the fabrication of molecular multiferroic devices, which could be considered competitive to silicon | eng | f8b671c8-53c7-4339-86aa-0cf7a31bc47f | https://par.nsf.gov/search/author:%22Jiang,%20Xuanyuan%22 |

What's the difference between a balance sheet and a classified balance sheet?
The unclassified balance sheet lists assets, liabilities, and equity in their respective categories. The classified balance sheet uses sub-categories or classifications to further break down asset, liability, and equity categories.
Are bills expenses or liabilities?
Utilities bills are an expense. Utilities bills are also a liability until they are paid. After the utility bills are paid, they are classified only as an expense because money was paid out and the utility bills are no longer an obligation that has to be paid.
What expenses are not liabilities?

A common small business liability is money owed to suppliers i.e. accounts payable. All businesses have liabilities, unless they exclusively accept and pay with cash. Cash includes physical cash or payments made through a business bank account. There are two types of liabilities: current and long-term liabilities.
Are payables assets or liabilities?
Accounts payable is considered a current liability, not an asset, on the balance sheet.
What accounts are under liabilities?
Here is a list of items that are considered liabilities, according to Accounting Tools and the Houston Chronicle:
Accounts payable (money you owe to suppliers)
Salaries owing.
Wages owing.
Interest payable.
Income tax payable.
Sales tax payable.
Customer deposits or pre-payments for goods or services not provided yet.
How do you calculate total balance sheet?
Suppose a proprietor company has a liability of $1500, and owner equity is $2000.
A manufacturing company named EON manufacturer Pvt.
What is a strong balance sheet?
The balance sheet is one of the fundamental financial statements. A strong balance sheet indicates a company is liquid, which means it has enough cash on hand to handle its liabilities. Having a large amount of cash is not the only determining factor when deciding whether a balance sheet is strong.
Do retained earnings go on the balance sheet?
Retained earnings are the net earnings after dividends that are available for reinvestment back into the company or to pay down debt. Retained earnings are an equity balance and as such are included within the equity section of a company's balance sheet. | eng | a826011d-5eec-47c0-a853-931a89126673 | https://almazrestaurant.com/what-is-on-a-balance-sheet-example/ |

Fun Facts About Men's Hair
In today's world, men are under more pressure than ever to have a full head of hair and a perfect hairstyle. A man's hairline is a crucial aspect of his overall appearance, and it can have a significant impact on how people perceive him. Unfortunately, many men experience hair loss, thinning hair, or a receding hairline, which can be a source of insecurity and self-consciousness.
The factors that determine a man's hairline include hormones, genetics, age, and lifestyle. Hormones play a significant role in hair growth and loss. Men produce more testosterone than women, which can lead to hair loss. Genetics also plays a significant role in determining a man's hairline. If hair loss or a receding hairline runs in your family, it's likely that you'll experience it too. Age is also a factor in hair loss, as men typically experience hair loss as they get older. Lifestyle choices, such as stress, poor nutrition, and smoking, can also contribute to hair loss. Below are some facts about men's hair.
Myths On Male Pattern Baldness
There are many misconceptions about male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia. This condition affects a significant portion of the male population, and unfortunately, there are many myths that circulate about its causes and potential treatments. Here are a few of the most common myths and the truth behind them:
Wearing a hat or helmet causes hair loss – This is not true. The pressure from a hat or helmet does not cause hair loss, and there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. In fact, wearing a hat or helmet can protect your hair from sun and environmental damage.
Shampooing causes hair loss – There is no evidence that shampooing causes hair loss. In fact, shampooing is actually important to keep the scalp and hair clean and healthy. When hair follicles become clogged with oil and dirt, it can lead to hair loss. Regular shampooing can help to remove these impurities and promote healthy hair growth.
Male pattern baldness is caused by poor blood circulation – This is not true. Male pattern baldness is caused by a combination of genetics and hormones, not poor blood circulation. The condition is caused by a sensitivity to dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a by-product of testosterone, which leads to hair follicles shrinking and eventually dying.
Male pattern baldness is caused by stress – While stress can cause temporary hair loss, it is not a direct cause of male pattern baldness.
Male pattern baldness can be cured by using a specific product or treatment – There is no cure for male pattern baldness, and while certain products or treatments may help slow or conceal hair loss, they will not reverse it.
It's important to be informed about the facts about hair loss and the causes and possible treatment options. Consulting a doctor or a hair specialist is the best way to know the best solution for your hair loss condition.
Different Types Of Mens Hairline
When it comes to men's hairlines, there are a variety of factors that can affect the way they look. These include hormones, genetics, age, and lifestyle. While both men and women can have similar hairline shapes, men's hairlines can undergo more drastic changes due to these factors. Here are the 8 most common types of men's hairlines:
Low hairline: Men typically have low hairlines throughout their childhood and into their teenage years before any hair loss begins. This is known as a juvenile hairline when it runs in a straight line. Low hairlines begin closer to a man's eyebrows, which can make the forehead look smaller. Some men may retain a low frontal line for longer than others.
Middle hairline: A middle hairline is typically more proportionate to the forehead. Men may start to develop a middle hairline during their teenage years and into their twenties. This type of hairline can look different from person to person, and can be asymmetrical, rounded, or straight.
High or mature hairline: A hairline is considered high if it starts on the crown of the head. This type of hairline is usually caused by genetics, but can also be due to hair loss or thinning hair.
Receding hairline: Men may develop a receding hairline at any time following puberty, and it can resemble a high hairline as it continues to reveal more of the scalp. A receding hairline may look like an "M" shape if excessive shedding occurs around the temples. This is a common result of male pattern baldness, which is usually hereditary.
Cowlick: A cowlick is a section of hair that grows in an opposing pattern to the hairs around it. This can form in any area of the scalp, but is particularly common at the hairline and crown. If you have a cowlick and short hair, you may be more likely to notice it. If you want to make your cowlick less visible, speak to your hairstylist for tips on how to tame it.
Widow's peak: A widow's peak is characterized by a V-shape, and may look more or less noticeable as you age. This hairline type is characterized by forming two distinct bald patches at the temples.
Uneven hairline: Asymmetrical hairlines are common, and can vary in form. One side may appear slightly higher than the other, or the whole frontal line could zig-zag drastically. Uneven hairlines can be caused by genetics or excessive styling, such as wearing the hair in a tight ponytail.
Straight hairline: Juvenile, rectangular, or straight hairlines run neatly across the forehead. This type of hairline is usually seen in men who have not started to lose hair yet.
It's important to note that everyone's hairline is unique, and that there may be other variations not covered in this list. If you're concerned about your hairline or experiencing hair loss, it's best to consult with a hair specialist or a dermatologist. They can provide you with a proper diagnosis and treatment options.
Are Men's Hairs Thicker Than Women's?
When it comes to hair thickness, men and women are genetically similar. Factors such as genetics and hormones play a role in determining the thickness of an individual's hair. However, men tend to have thicker and denser body hair due to higher levels of testosterone | eng | 70076299-5c4b-40f3-8c39-a919fe06d447 | https://www.hairtransplantworld.com/fun-facts-about-mens-hair/ |
Defining your similarity metric: How are you going to determine how "similar" two images are?
Searching: How does the actual search take place? How are queries submitted to your image search engine?
While Monday's post was a "let's get our hands dirty and write some code" type of article, the next few blog posts are going to be a little higher level. But if you plan on building an image search engine of your own, these are four steps you need to understand.
Today we are going to focus only on the first step: Defining our Image Descriptor.
We will explore the remaining steps in the next coming weeks.
Defining Your Image Descriptor
In our Lord of the Rings image search engine, we used a 3D color histogram to characterize the color of each image. This OpenCV image descriptor was a global image descriptor and applied to the entier image. The 3D color histogram was a good choice for our dataset. The five scenes we utilized from the movies each had relatively different color distributions, thus making it easier for a color histogram to return relevant results.
Of course, color histograms are not the only image descriptor we can use. We can also utilize methods to describe both the texture and shape of objects in an image.
Let's take a look:
Color
As we've already seen, color is the most basic aspect of an image to describe, and arguably the most computationally simple. We can characterize the color of an image using the mean, standard deviation, and skew of each channel's pixel intensities. We could also use color histograms as we've seen in other blog posts. In color histograms are global image descriptors applied to the entire image.
One benefit of using simple color methods is that we can easily obtain image size (scale) and orientation (how the image is rotated) invariance.
How is this possible?
Well, let's take a look at this model of Jurassic Park's T-Rex at varying scales and orientations, and the resulting histograms extracted from each image.
Figure 1: No matter how we rotate and scale the T-Rex image, we still have the same histogram.
As you can see, we rotate and resize the image with a varying number of angles and scaling factors. The number of bins is plotted along the X-axis and the percentage of pixels placed in each bin on the Y-axis.
In each case, the histogram is identical, thus demonstrating that the color histogram does not change as the image is scaled and rotated.
Rotation and scale invariance of an image descriptor are both desirable properties of an image search engine. If a user submits a query image to our image search engine, the system should find similar images, regardless of how the query image is resized or rotated. When a descriptor is robust to changes such as rotation and scale, we call them invariants due to the fact that the descriptor is invariant (i.e. does not change) even as the image is rotated and scaled.
Texture
Texture tries to model feel, appearance, and the overall tactile quality of an object in an image; however, texture tends to be difficult to represent. For example, how do we construct an image descriptor that can describe the scales of a T-Rex as "rough" or "coarse"?
Most methods trying to model texture examine the grayscale image, rather than the color image. If we use a grayscale image, we simply have a NxN matrix of pixel intensities. We can examine pairs of these pixels and then construct a distribution of how often such pairs occur within X pixels of each other. This type of distribution is called a Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM).
Once we have the GLCM, we can compute statistics, such as contrast, correlation, and entropy to name a few.
Other texture descriptors exist as well, including taking the Fourier or Wavelet transformation of the grayscale image and examining the coefficients after the transformation.
Finally, one of the more popular texture descriptors of late, Histogram of Oriented Gradients, has been extremely useful in the detection of people in images.
Shape
When discussing shape, I am not talking about the shape (dimensions, in terms of width and height) of the NumPy array that an image is represented as. Instead, I'm talking about the shape of a particular object in an image.
When using a shape descriptor, or first step is normally to apply a segmentation or edge detection technique, allowing us to focus strictly on the contour of the shape we want to describe. Then, once we have the contour, we can again compute statistical moments to represent the shape.
Let's look at an example using this Pikachu image:
Figure 2: The image on the left is not suited for shape description. We first need to either perform edge detection (middle) or examine the countered, masked region (right).
On the left, we have the full color image of Pikachu. Typically, we would not use this type of image to describe shape. Instead, we would convert the image to grayscale and perform edge detection (center) or utilize the mask of Pikachu (i.e. the relevant part of the image we want to describe).
OpenCV provides the Hu Moments method, which is widely used as a simple shape descriptor.
In the coming weeks, I will demonstrate how we can describe the shape of objects in an image using a variety of shape descriptors post we discussed the first step in building an image search engine: choosing an image descriptor. We need to examine our dataset and decide what aspects of the images we are going to describe. Is the color distribution of the image important when performing a search? What about the texture of an object in an image? Or the shape? Or maybe we need to characterize all three?
Choosing a descriptor is just the first step. Next week, we'll explore how to apply our image descriptor(s) to each image in our dataset | eng | 1dd78745-2650-4515-8018-5f50161fc737 | https://pyimagesearch.com/2014/02/03/building-an-image-search-engine-defining-your-image-descriptor-step-1-of-4/ |

Concept of Multinational Enterprises
What is the Concept of Multinational Enterprises? The MNE describes as one that has working subsidiaries, branches, or associates placed in overseas countries. It additionally consists of companies in carrier things to do. Such as consulting, accounting, construction, legal, advertising, entertainment, banking, telecommunications, and lodging.
Here are the articles to explain, Advantages and Disadvantages, Concept of Multinational Enterprises!
One of the most modern approaches followed by almost all corporations in the 21st is internationalization. Where a successful firm ventures into foreign markets and decides to go global in approach. Which in turn converts these flourishing domestic businesses into Multinational enterprises (MNEs) and improves sales and build brand reputation. One of the key features of an MNE is that although it has the company headquarters in one country. The production and operational activities stand set up in more. Then one country for several reasons such as cheap labor sources, obtaining raw materials, the advantage of tax differences, and the protectionist barriers.
Several important characteristics stand adopted by multinational enterprises and the global economy. Such as the large size of the firms and their international activities which stand centrally governed by the parent firms. Organizations, as a result of their experience, are also better able to adapt and respond to micro-and macro-environmental factors. Such as suppliers, competitors, customers, the government, and other stakeholders. As well as the political setup of a country, its economic policies and systems, and the local culture. It also aims to gain access to the natural resources of new, potentially unexplored markets. As well as assets, patents, human resources, and technical and managerial know-how. These aims stand fulfilled through strategic alliances with local, domestic companies ready to share and work towards a common goal.
Why do firms go Multinational?
There are various reasons why a company decides to go international. The Dunning Eclectic theory or the OLI paradigm highlights the advantages of these multinational corporations going overseas. Some of these have stoodoutlined in detail as follows:
Ownership Advantages:
Ownership advantages are usually intangible and can transfer within multinational firms at a cheaper price. The firm would possess monopolistic advantages as they would get easy access to the resources. Which are scarce in the home country of the firm. The barriers to entry would also be high, due to the high setup costs of the business. They also possess the share of technology and information from the countries in which the expansion takes place that helps the firm.
Besides gains for the multinational enterprises, the host economies also benefit. These MNCs generate large amounts of employment opportunities and bring with them high levels of managerial skill and globally employed advanced technology. Since the firm has the high buying power, the advantages of economies of scale also become realistic and thus, very prominent.
Location Advantages can break down into three major categories:
Economic advantages:
Relate to all cost and revenue-related factors such as low costs of raw materials, low transportation, storage, and distribution. And the resulting development of economies of scale and scope, the large size of an unexplored market, and so on.
Political advantages include the nature of an economy, the government's policies, systems, and the overall bureaucratic setup. Lenient policies affect and encourage inward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flow, intra-firm trade, and international production.
Socio-cultural advantages include the ability to adapt to the culture the firm wishes to operate in terms of overcoming language and cultural barriers (such as it may be easier for an American firm to expand into the UK rather than into China), distance barriers (it may be easier to invest in a neighboring country rather than otherwise), the general attitude towards foreigners and so on.
Internalization Advantages:
Internalization is the process by which the activities keep directly within the firm's control. The key advantage is that it would reduce the transactional costs and no threat of principal-agent problems to the organization.
Another reason why companies expand is to gain access to know-how regarding the international business environment and facilitate innovation and generate ideas. Novel ideas and concepts help organizations adapt to new markets and grow in other areas. As well as diversify their product and service offerings, thus, minimizing risk and instability.
Internalization is the process by which a firm's activities keep within the umbrella of the firm. The process of expansion in other markets of the world involves different factors. A business that fulfills all these criteria can also in some cases advised against expansion. There are numerous advantages of internalization, such as secrecy of research and no leakage of information.
Global investments are valuable because sometimes these firms or establishments manage to gain more profits in the host countries than in their own home countries. One of the main reasons for this is that the masses of these countries are ready to explore new flavors and experiment with new products since they would import them. Also, some people want to buy these products but couldn't do them earlier as ordering them online was not very popular then.
How Does Multinational Enterprise Work?
An agency is known as a multinational if it features in its u. s. foundation and has a department in at least one overseas country. A commercial enterprise in basic terms conducting exports except for any places of work in an international market will now not fall under the definition of a multinational company. MNCs can have countless global branches and subsidiaries relying on their size.
Usually, multinational enterprises prolong themselves into different international locations using introducing merchandise acceptable to the nearby wishes and culture. If Amazon had supplied items central to Seattle buyers. It ought to have hardly ever tapped into doable customers from different continents such as Asia, which has awesome needs.
How do Firms go Multinational?
Multinational firms seeking an opportunity to explore International markets must consider crucial entry decisions as these markets involve high risk and uncertainties. The three basic decisions that a company contemplates before expanding into foreign markets include the decision as to which market to step into. Another important issue is to understand the political and economic issues that eventually affect the attractiveness of a foreign market.
It is also vital to look out for factors such as market size concerning demographics. The purchasing power of consumers, and the expected growth of the country in the future. Time of entry into these markets plays a key role. For example, it may not be practical to expand or enter new markets during times of recession and vice versa during periods of economic boom.
Lastly, the multinational enterprise has to consider the mode of entry besides deciding on it. Whether to enter the market on a large scale or a small scale basis. Not many firms have the resources to enter a particular foreign market on a large scale. Firms that establish on a large scale in their home country prefer to enter at a small scale into other nations. Which enables them to build a brand reputation later on.
The options for the mode of entry include the following:
Indirect and Direct Export:
Companies usually start with indirect exporting as they have potential advantages like less risk. As the independent intermediaries bring in experience and services to the relationship, therefore seller will make lesser errors. Direct exporting is where firms handle their exporting activities and the initial investment. And risks are much higher but high returns are more likely.
Licencing & Franchising:
Licencing involves one firm permitting another firm to license for a limited period to use. Its patent, trade secrets, or another item for a fee or royalty.
Franchising is very similar to licensing, involving an agreement between two firms in one firm allows. The other is to use its brand name, technology, and methods to market and produce the product.
For example:
Mercedes-Benz, from the family Daimler AG in Germany, has set up its headquarters in Dubai in the UAE. The Multinational giants have franchised their operations to the locals in the host countries operating in the Middle East. The company Gargash Enterprises L.L.C has obtained a dealership as a sole distributor. Through franchise agreements with Daimler AG to sell Mercedes-Benz vehicles in Dubai and the Northern Emirates. The strategy was adopted keeping the local image and the cultural adaptability of Gargash Enterprises L.L.C. in the Middle East.
Joint Ventures:
Joint ventures (JV) are contracts or agreements between firms often set up in different countries to operate in cooperation. With each other as a single corporate entity and share profits and losses through the execution of a business or undertaking. The core issues JV should take into account before entering would be ownership, length of the contract, control and pricing agreements, etc. The best example for joint venture operations in India would be Marks & Spencer with Reliance Retail Ltd. The prime advantage would be easy access to enter the market, joint product development, local knowledge and technology, consumer behavior, and cultural adaptability.
Direct Investment:
Direct Investments can also categorize as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Here, the multinational enterprise directly enters the market and owns the facility of the target country. FDI can also be made in the form of an acquisition of an existing firm or by setting up an entirely new enterprise. It comprises the transfer of technology, and resources which includes capital and also skilled labor.
The firm looking to directly invest in a foreign market should possess a high level of resources and the ability to understand the consumers and their competitive environment. Nevertheless, they need to bring in a high degree of control and commitment to showcasing their strength in the new markets.
Multinational corporation – The Journey continues…
Companies nowadays are always on the lookout for potential internationalization opportunities in new unexplored markets like China, India, and the Middle East. Such expansions are aimed at accessing the domestic country's natural resources, availing the advantages of cheap labor, sale of products for profit maximization, and the overall growth and development of the business. However, the irony of the condition is with the recession that has hit globally, will we see the birth of internationalization of firms or would we witness companies that will be ready to take up the challenge of universal growth?
Key Takeaways:
A multinational enterprise has its headquarters in one u. s. and a department or subsidiary in at least one overseas country.
The international enterprise operations
are managed and managed centrally, i.e., from the head workplace placed in the domestic country. Regional workplaces overseas control commercial enterprise operations as per the setup norms of the headquarter.

Sustainable tourism is an important term these days, it seems like everyone is talking about it. The internet is loaded with information about the topic. And the reason is that travelers are becoming more aware of the impact of their actions on the environment and on the local communities.
Sustainable tourism is a way of traveling that leaves a minimum negative impact in the places visited and leaves a positive impact on the local communities. According to a 2019 report by the World Travel & Tourism Council, tourism represents more than 10% of the global GDP, so it is an extremely important sector in our economy. However, what will tourism be like in the future if it is done in an unrestrained way? What will happen to local communities if large hotels hire only foreigners? And as travelers, do we need to put wild animals at risk just because we want a selfie with them? Creating sustainable practices in our travels is as important as creating sustainable habits in our daily lives.
We are changing the way people travel to make the world a better place for today's and future generations. Our main goal is to incentivize a global movement that will make people around the world more conscious about the choices they make when they travel and we are beating down on the idea that guests have to give up luxury when traveling to a sustainable hotel. That's why we created EcoWednesday. Every Wednesday you can find in our Instagram and Facebook accounts all the sustainability efforts our hotels & resorts are implementing in their daily operations and some tips on how to improve your daily habits.
Every Wednesday you can find out more about the following standards our member hotels & resorts align to ensure their best practices:
Member hotels must hire their staff locally, with the purpose of boosting the local economy.
The local community is invited to monthly interactions with the hotel's employees. This is done with the intention of fostering long-lasting relationships. Moreover, they are provided with the knowledge and tools they need to bring sustainability to their everyday practices.
To reduce the hotel's footprint, clean energy is employed. This is achieved by adopting appropriate technology that aims towards minimizing negative impact.
Hotels must strive towards responsible water management practices by measuring how much they use and by implementing recycling wastewater technologies.
Guest's food must come from nearby sources. In order to decrease the transportation footprint and increase local employment opportunities. When possible, hotels grow their own orchards and raise their own chickens.
Member hotels agree to Preserve, Restore and Protect the local biodiversity through the implementation of best practices and help of local organizations.
Hotels infuse into their practices the four R's: Refuse, Reduce, Reuse and Recycle waste.
Member hotels provide competitive salaries and benefits to their employees to strengthen the local economic system.
They don't use pesticides or cleaning products that contain chemicals that harm the environment.

The future of electric vehicles is becoming more certain. However, EVs still make up less than 10% of all vehicles sold in the United States. While EV adoption is not happening as fast as many investors would like, it does offer the opportunity to build a position in the companies that supply the EV industry. That includes looking for undervalued battery stocks to buy. Lithium-ion batteries are still the industry standard and will remain that way for some time.

A poor diet during pregnancy may have dire implications for the future heart health of your child, suggests new animal research published Sunday in The Journal of Physiology.
Scientists studied the heart health of growing baby baboons whose mothers had been purposefully underfed during their pregnancy. They found that the hearts of baboons born to these mothers differed greatly from those fed a normal diet. | eng | 9274329e-c469-4bc3-932c-bc1eb9f3842c | https://www.bkreader.com/news/happens-dont-eat-healthy-pregnant-poor-diet-weaken-age-babys-heart-6541516 |

Top 5: Healthy Eating, Healthy Aging
September is Healthy Aging Month, and a great time to highlight nutrition needs of older adults. With advancing age, nutrient requirements change. Primarily, older adults need fewer calories but actually need more of many nutrients. Read on for a "Top 5" list of nutrition topics older adults need to focus on.
1. Hydrate
Older adults have a diminished sense of thirst, so many older adults may not be as aware of their need to drink fluids, making them more prone to dehydration. As well, medications used by older adults may result in fluid loss or increased fluid needs. In less mobile adults, not drinking enough fluids may come from a desire to not have to walk to a bathroom or to avoid potential incontinence.
However, not drinking enough fluids makes older adults more likely to develop urinary tract infections (UTI), pneumonia, and pressure ulcers and become confused or disoriented. A good sign of adequate hydration is to check urine color. It should be about the color of lemonade. A darker color indicates an individual is not hydrated enough.
How to: Older adults are encouraged to sip on liquids, primarily water and milk, at meals and between meals. Eating water-based foods, such as broth-based soups, watermelon, and citrus fruits can also contribute to fluid needs.
2. Eat Safe
Food safety is important for all age groups. However, older adults are at higher risk of food-borne illness since their immune systems are not as strong as they used to be. As such, they may become sicker from contaminated foods.
How to: The best way to prevent food-borne illness is to wash your hands! Wash hands with soap under warm water, scrubbing for at least 20 seconds. Do this before eating or preparing food, after using the bathroom, after taking out the trash, and in other situations where you dirty your hands.
To ensure safety in food preparation, thaw frozen foods in the refrigerator – not on the counter at room temperature – and cook to proper temperatures. Due to potential risk of listeria, hot dogs and deli meats should be heated before eating until steaming hot.
Refrigerate leftover cut produce and cooked foods within 2 hours. When using leftovers, reheat to boiling or to at least 165°F. Eat foods before the "use-by" date on the package. Once it passes, throw out those foods.
Since older adults need fewer calories but more of some nutrients, their diets need to be full of nutritious foods. A focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and lean protein will allow for a nutrient-rich diet.
However, due to changes with age, some nutrient needs are higher, nutrients may not be as well absorbed, or older adults have a harder time eating foods with these nutrients. As such, older adults need to ensure they get enough of all nutrients, but particularly calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B-12, potassium, fiber, and protein.
How to: If older adults find eating large meals too difficult or get full quickly, focus on eating smaller meals with snacks during the day. If some nutrient needs cannot be met through food, consider foods and drinks that have added vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients like fiber and protein to help meet needs. Some examples include fortified dry cereal, calcium-rich orange juice, liquid nutritional drinks, such as Ensure* or Boost*, and high fiber breads.
If food sources still do not meet needs, a multivitamin or specific vitamin or mineral supplement may be needed. Discuss supplement use with your doctor or medical care provider.
4. Adjust For Your Health
Chronic health conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease, osteoporosis, and cancer, become more common in older age. A nutritious diet throughout your life can minimize the risk of developing health conditions, but if one or more develops, adjust your food intake to manage your health.
How to: For many health conditions that impact diet, talk with a registered dietitian. He or she can help you determine how foods can help manage the disease.
For example:
If you have heart disease, talk about how diet can improve your blood cholesterol and blood pressure numbers.
If you have diabetes, discuss how to foods affect your blood sugar.
If you have difficulty chewing or swallowing food, ask if dysphagia diets are appropriate.
If you take medications, learn which foods you may need to avoid or consume more consistently to avoid drug-nutrient interactions.
5. Balance Eating In and Out
Foods prepared at home tend to be more nutritious that those eaten outside of the home. However, cooking may become more difficult with advancing age, such as holding onto knives or lifting heavy pots, so older adults may choose to dine out more frequently.
How to: When feasible, cook most of your meals at home using nutritious recipes. Larger recipes can be frozen for leftovers and eaten in a few weeks to minimize preparation. If frozen meals from your local stores are eaten, choose those that are lower in fat and sodium, are a good source of fiber, and contain vegetables, lean protein, and whole grains. For some older adults, senior meal sites and home deliver meals are options to have social interaction while eating a nutritious meal.
When dining out, read menu descriptions and pick options that also contain vegetables and lean protein while minimizing added fats, such as cheese and butter sauces. Consider sharing a plate or taking home half the meal to eat at a later time. (Remember food safety on this – within 2 hours of getting your meal, any leftovers need to be refrigerated.)

Foods that should not be eaten for dinner are difficult to digest.
If you want to be slim and healthy, you must choose to eat dinner! Which today we have a list of 6 foods that should not be eaten in the evening for you, which is a list of foods that say that if you choose to eat it for dinner or in the evening, you have to think carefully.

For dinner, it is recommended that It should be easy to digest food. Helps the digestive system not work too hard during bedtime. And it should be a low-fat diet. Especially for those who eat dinner at a relatively late time. Should choose to eat foods that are low in fat. Does not make the digestive system work harder and is not a food that affects sleep
Foods that should not be eaten in the evening
1. Fried food
Of course, fried foods are foods that have a relatively high accumulation of oil. which Oil is considered a type of fat, especially lard Coconut oil and palm oil are oils that are high in saturated fat. If eating in the evening or before bedtime the body has less metabolism It will cause fat to accumulate throughout the body. easily cause obesity
2. Bread, various bakery
Bakery, bread, donuts They all contain trans fats as their main ingredient. Whether it's margarine or margarine, shortening, creamer, whipped cream, trans fats are different from natural fats. making it difficult for the body to decompose and cannot be easily excreted from the body Trans fat also increases LDL or bad cholesterol. result in obesity Heart disease and stroke can follow.
3. Lean meat
Fatty meat is not much different from fried food. Because it is a food that is high in fat. In addition to causing fat accumulation Cholesterol has risen. It is also a food that is not friendly to the digestive system in the evening as well. especially with lean beef. Beef is a meat that has tough fibers and requires a lot of energy to chew. If not chewed thoroughly it can cause bloating. because it takes longer to digest

high sodium foods It is another type of food that can cause swelling easily. Normally, our body will excrete sodium out of the kidneys. But if there is too much Still can't drive, especially in the evening. It's called food that is high in sodium. Whether it is semi-finished food, Chinese sausage, ham, bacon, sausage, pickled fruit and other processed foods, if eaten in the evening in addition to causing swelling.

Play-Doh Planets
We have been lied to! That is how Ranger Bob opened this week's class. Every photo, computer and TV image, poster, text book, drawing, etc., has misrepresented our solar system both in size and distance. He showed how it is impossible to accurately represent the correct proportions of planets in one image. For example, if we were to try to represent just the size of the planets on a computer screen, Pluto would be smaller than one pixel!
Within our classroom, or even on the school grounds, it would be impossible to produce an accurate solar system model. However, we are able to represent either size or distance separately. This past week the students worked on representing the relative sizes of the planets, including Pluto, using Play-Doh. Each team began with a three pound, huge ball of clay. Each and every crumb was important to the activity, and students had to be mindful not to drop or loose a single one! In order to complete the activity each group had to work together to cut, assess accuracy, and evenly distribute and group the clay. The proportions had to be accurate and required repeated, meticulous measuring and cutting. By the last step, the students were cutting 10 equal pieces from a strand of clay no wider than a hair! You will notice in the final photos Pluto is barely visible.
Here is the orbital scale proportionate to a 4.8" Jupiter (my best estimate for today's model) and a 47" Sun. Saturn's orbit at 4015 ft is under a mile and Pluto's at 16,638 ft. is 3.15 miles!
Attack of the Letter "P"!
Ranger Bob ended the lesson with a picture-rich presentation called: "Plutoids, Dwarf Planets, and other Trans-Neptunian Objects, Oh, My!" He reviewed the history of dwarf planet discovery, the exclusion of Pluto from the panoply of planets and the plethora of objects beyond the planets and their moons that populate our solar system. If there is time next week after our Game Show, we will continue our exploration of proportion. This time we will focus on distance. | eng | eaf2173b-d8cb-44fb-8270-c84baf5f6556 | https://www.mosaicfreeschool.com/mosaic-minutes/astronomy-class-summary-111714 |

Generators for emergency power Portable generators can be a useful device for emergencies that require power. If you experience an outage in power, a portable generator can supply electricity to keep lighting on and your refrigerator running, and your house heated or cooled.
How Portable Generators Work
Portable generators convert electric energy from mechanical sources into. This is done using the internal combustion engine, that is powered by diesel, gasoline, or propane. The engine drives an alternator that produces alternating current (AC) electricity. This electricity is then converted to direct current (DC) electricity by rectifiers and stored in the form of a battery. The battery is able to supply electricity to the generator's electrical outlets, which allow you to power your appliances and devices.
In order to use a portable generator, you simply need be able to plug it into the devices or appliances that you want to provide power to. Portable generators are equipped with various outlets, including conventional electrical outlets as well as USB ports. Some models also come with an inbuilt transfer switch that allows you to switch between generator power and grid energy in case of an power outage.
Safety Considerations for Portable Generators
Portable generators are designed to be safe, but it is essential to follow the instructions of the manufacturer and adhere to the appropriate safety precautions. Always read the user's manual prior to using a portable generator and adhere to the guidelines of the manufacturer regarding operation and maintenance.
Here are a few crucial security considerations to bear in mind while using the portable generator:
Safety of Fuel: Always use the correct fuel for your generator and store the fuel in a safe and secure area. Fuels like gasoline and others are highly flammable and cause fire when not handled correctly.
Ventilation: Portable generators produce carbon monoxide which is a deadly gas that can cause serious injury or even death. Make sure to use your portable generator in a well-ventilated area. Never put it in your house garage, garage, or other enclosed spaces.

Maintenance: Regular maintenance is important to ensure the longevity and safety the portable generator. This involves checking the oil level, cleansing the air filters, and replacing the spark plug , if needed. It is also important to have the generator checked by a certified professional every so often to ensure it's operating safely and properly.
Power Management Use the portable generator that comes with an interlock or transfer switch, and never connect it directly to the electrical system. This will prevent backfeeding, which could be hazardous to the utility workers and can damage the electrical system.
In the end portable generators can be described as a versatile and affordable power source that can supply electricity in a variety of situations. If you're using it for camping or job sites, or even for emergencies it is essential to adhere to the appropriate safety guidelines and to choose the right generator for the specific requirements of your power. By using a generator that is portable you'll get the power you require anytime and anyplace you need it. | eng | dca60d70-c2b6-4b18-a4d8-1531fce18276 | https://www.renfrovalleykoa.com/portable-power-generator-for-home/ |

What is EDI
Electronic Data Integration or EDI is the exchange of information electronically, instead of paper based documents. EDI has been used since the early 70s, and is based on widely adopted standards such as the US X12, or UN EDIFACT.
EDI document exchange can occur between businesses, government or regulatory authorities. This documentation will mostly detail EDI as applicable to X12 and EDIFACT, the most widely used EDI standards.
1 EDI document types
Various types of EDI document definitions exists for almost all types of business and domains, and these are usually called transaction sets. Different EDI standards would define similar documents or transaction sets to describe the same information. For example the X12 810 and EDIFACT INVOIC describe an invoice. The most recent X12 version 8010 defines 321 document types with 3-digit numbers. Here are a few examples.
100 Insurance Plan Description
101 Name and Address Lists
810 Invoice
850 Purchase Order
856 Ship Notice/Manifest
997 Functional Acknowledgement
1.1 EDI Transaction Set Definitions
The EDI standards used such as X12 or EDIFACT, defines the structure of the documents. The structure can depend on the version of the standard used. The X12 standard uses version numbers such as 4010, 5010 or 8010 etc, while EDIFACT versions are of the form D93A or D96A etc. The image below shows a page from a typical X12 document or transaction definition. The example is for an X12 810 transaction set, and this 'overview' page defines the overall structure of the document as a collection of 'segments'.
The transaction set defines the document as starting with the segment 'ISA', and that segment being 'Mandatory' and occurring at most '1' times at that position defined. This is followed by a 'GS' segment, also mandatory and occurring only once. Next an 'ST' and 'BIG' segment are defined in sequence, followed by an optional segment 'REF', which can occur at most 12 times at that position. So at a high level, one can form a mental picture of the EDI document structure defined, to be of the following form
ISA
GS
ST
BIG
REF
REF
..
..
This is exactly what's conveyed by the definition. Although we've used a line break in the example above to separate each segment, EDI usually does not use line breaks and instead uses a pre-defined ASCII character as the segment separator.
1.2 Loops in EDI
A Loop in EDI refers to a repeatable sub-collection of related segments. Consider the loop 'N1' in the above definition. Here the loop can repeat upto 200 times and each loop occurrence shall consist of the segments defined as that loop. In the example 'N1' loop, only a single segment 'N1' occurs once for each loop iteration. However, loops can be complex hierarchies and can contain other loops, such as the 'IT1' loop which contains two sub loops 'PID' and 'SAC'.
1.3 Segment and Element Separators
EDI files typically does not contain line breaks. Instead, each segment will be separated by a special character chosen as the 'Segment separator'. The segment separator can be chosen by each partner, and commonly used characters include the tilde ~, pipe |, and the caret ^. Each segment contains one or more 'elements', with each such element separated by another chosen character, the element separator. The most commonly used element separator is the asterisk * or the pipe |.
1.4 EDI Header and Trailer
Each EDI message will start with a Header and end with a Trailer. In the case of ASCII X12, the header is defined by the ISA and GS segment combination, and the trailer is defined by the GE and IEA segment combination. The ISA and GS headers will include details about the sender, recipient, date, versions, and the unique control numbers. The trailer will contain the corresponding control number, and include the number of segments between the header and trailer elements, so that any malformed document can be identified.
1.5 Segment and Element definition
The sample below is a page from a sample EDI definition, describing the 'BIG' segmment, which is the beginning segment of an Invoice. Each element identified with its position allows references such as BIG01, BIG02 etc to refer to such data items. Each element is defined with a name, mandatory / optional flag, data type and minimum and maximum length. For example we see that BIG01 is a mandatory Date value of exactly 8 characters in length, while BIG02 is an alphanumeric string between 1 to 22 characters in length, and mandatory.
Usually large organizations override the standard EDI definition versions, and might want to state that a segment or element defined as optional as per the version of the specification used, is marked as mandatory by the client. This is the meaning of the last column 'usage', which exists to override such definitions.
1.6 Sample EDI X12 810 Invoice
Below listing shows a sample Invoice, in the X12 810 transaction set. Note that the line breaks have been inserted only for clarity. Notice the ISA/IEA header and trailer, and the GS/GE header and trailer. The ISA13 and the matching IEA02 are the Interchange Control numbers. IEA01 specifies the number of included functional groups (i.e. GS/GE pairs) which in this case is one. Similarly, the GS06 and GE02 specify the Group Control number, and GE01 states the number of included Transaction Sets, which in this case is one. The ST/SE pairs contain the Transaction information with ST02 and SE02 specifying the Transaction Control number, and SE01 specifying the number of segments within the transaction, which in this case is 19, including the ST and SE segments. | eng | 5f49c4ae-838d-48bd-b287-5264a1bb6690 | https://aayutechnologies.com/docs/edi/what-is-edi/ |

What you'll learn
Module 1: Creating Larger Networks
Module 2: Using the Cisco IOS Command Line Interface
Module 3: Building a Small Cisco Network
Module 4: Troubleshooting Common Network Problems
Description
Welcome to the fifth and final course in the Cisco Networking Basics Specialization. In the first four courses of this specialization, you were focused on understanding how computer networks work and how to access the network. Now that you have a firm grasp of how to build and secure a wireless home network, you will be introduced to the basics of adding Cisco routers and switches to networks that are typically deployed in small to medium sized businesses.

December 2015 Student Spotlight
Genuine empathy for underserved populations is a cornerstone of how the School of Public Affairs' fosters aspirations. Joanne Hernandez tells us about her idea for ensuring regulation for the Affordable Care Act, her experiences as a volunteer for the National Organization for Women and NARAL Pro-Choice America, and her time in the MPA in Health Care Policy program.
Your career interests lie in advocating for reproductive justice for low-income women and you hope to create and reform public policies. What ideas do you have for new or newly augmented policies?
To begin, my career interests in advocating to expand women's reproductive rights initially began during my undergraduate in New York University. As a pre-med student and volunteer in NYU's Medical Center Department of Pediatrics, I first became exposed to how skewed and broken the health care system was. After taking a graduate course focused on public policy and coming to the realization I no longer wanted to be a doctor, I decided to pursue a career in public policy with a focus on women's healthcare.
Since graduating from NYU in 2010, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) has since been established and thankfully millions of women who otherwise would have no health insurance are now able to secure necessary coverage. However, even with the ACA implementation, women are still reporting health care plan violations regarding access to birth control. One idea I had in augmenting this policy, would be for state legislatures to pass legislation where state regulators are required to create oversight committees to ensure health plans are implemented correctly and information is disseminated appropriately.
You're a volunteer for the National Organization for Women and NARAL Pro-Choice America. What are some of the most profound experiences you've had with them?
I first was introduced to the National Organization for Women (NOW) and NARAL Pro-Choice America approximately two years ago. Originally, I sought out volunteer opportunities at NOW and began by attending monthly sessions where various issues affecting women in New York were discussed. However, during one of these monthly meetings, it was announced that NOW and several other women's rights organizations would be participating in a day-long action in Albany, NY called Lobby Day.
I immediately jumped on the opportunity, and I am incredibly happy that I did. Lobby Day was a profound experience for me, because for the first time I took action for what I believed in, and that was expanding women's rights in the state of New York. It was during Lobby Day that I was then introduced to NARAL Pro-Choice America and was pushed further to seek out volunteer opportunities with them, which then led to another profound experience.
Last November, during the midterm elections I had the chance to help get out the vote by participating in phone banking events. Because last November was not a presidential election, I was advocating for local pro-choice politicians and it was during the various phone calls I conducted speaking with constituents that I first got a sense of the importance of the relationship between policy makers and their constituents.
Tell us about your experience in the MPA in Health Care Policy program so far; how is this track helping you achieve your personal and professional aspirations?
Three years ago, before beginning the MPA in Health Care Policy program, I had no concrete plan on achieving my personal and professional goals. I knew I wanted to work in women's reproductive rights but was unsure in what capacity or what role I could inhabit where I felt I was making a difference.
Since beginning my program, I have been gifted the necessary tools to not only understand how public policies are created and reformed but I have also been given the opportunity to see that in real time. One of the ways that the program has helped me in achieving these goals is by offering the Washington in DC semester (TWS).
I first became aware of TWS about a year ago when Distinguished Lecturer, Michael Feller along with a few alumni of the program held an open house. At the time I was working full-time in a position that was unrelated to my career interests, which inhibited me to fully immerse myself in the women's healthcare world, but with TWS that has since changed.
Currently, I am interning with the National Women's Law Center in the Outreach department with a focus on women's health and reproductive rights. At the same time, the two classes offered, Political Dynamics with Distinguished Lecturer, Sonia Jarvis and Who Makes Policy? with Clinical Professor, Carla Robbins have proven to be incredibly helpful in not only understanding the daily jargon of DC life but also the political mechanisms that directly affect the organization and the work we do.

How to Choose the Right Clothes for Every Type of Exercise
Do you ever feel like you can never be ready for the day's activities because you don't have any exercise clothes? If so, you're not alone. Almost everyone has trouble coping with exercise in the nude. It doesn't seem right to strip down in front of someone else, but it feels weird to wear clothes while exercising. Wearing clothes while working out provides a sense of privacy and normalcy that can be really helpful in getting through a workout. Additionally, clothes distract us from our physical discomfort, which can keep us from feeling the true intensity of our workout. That said, some people find it empowering to get naked and work out in the open.

If you're looking for workout clothes that will make you look and feel your best, allow me to help you choose the perfect outfit for your activity. If you are a person who is constantly active and spends most of his free time in the gym, then you need sustainable activewear that will withstand intense training and you will use it for a long period of time. A sports collection that includes clothing for a variety of exercises and sports, from running to Pilates. You will also need stylish maternity clothing that will stay comfortable during your pregnancy and after childbirth in which you can do the daily walks or exercises. So, whatever your fitness goals may be, we have everything you need to succeed.
How do you know what clothes to wear when you're exercising? It can be hard to decide what will work best for your specific physical activity. Do you exercise in the cold weather? On a hot day? In the rain? Or indoors?
Choosing the right clothes for your exercise is important not just because they'll make you comfortable, but also because they'll help you stay safe. If you're exercising outdoors in cold weather, for example, you'll want to wear layers so that you're not too warm and susceptible to frostbite. Conversely, if you're exercising indoors on a hot day, wearing clothing that is protective against the sun and wind will be ideal.
There are four main types of exercise: cardio, strength training, balance training, and conditioning. Each type of exercise requires different types of clothing. To get started selecting the right clothes for your workout, it's helpful to understand each type of exercise and how it affects your body. Here are tips on how to choose the right clothes for each type of exercise:
Cardio
If you're looking to improve your cardio fitness, then you'll need to choose clothes that are both comfortable and appropriate for the activity. Make sure to select clothes that are breathable and not too tight or restrictive, since this will only make it more difficult to complete the task at hand. When it comes to choosing aerobic clothing, it's important to think about what climate you'll be exercising in. For example, during the summer months, you'll want to stick with lighter clothing that won't make you sweaty. Conversely, if you're training in the wintertime, you'll need heavier clothing that can keep you warm and insulated from the cold. When picking out exercise clothes, be sure to also consider your weight and body type so that you can find clothes that fit properly and give you the support you need.
Strength training

If you're ready to start strength training and want to gear up appropriately, you'll need to choose the right clothes. First, it's important to understand that you should never wear anything that restricts your breathing. Your muscles need enough oxygen to properly function, so make sure your clothing doesn't restrict your movements. Next, think about the type of strength training you're doing. If you're focusing on endurance exercises, wearing light clothes won't do much good. However, if you're doing weightlifting or other types of resistance training, heavier clothing will help carry more weight and provide more resistance. You also want to consider the weather when choosing clothes. In hot climates, lightweight clothes will be too much of a burden, while in cold climates they'll be too warm. Finally, think about the type of muscle you're working on. For example, you might need different attire for chest exercises than for biceps curls.
Balance training
To ensure balance training is effective, you'll need to select clothes that are supportive and allow for movement without restriction. Clothing should be breathable and made of stretchy materials such as polyester or cotton, to avoid skin irritation. Remember to avoid tight clothing that can stop your range of motion and cause pain.
Conditioning exercise

When conditioning exercise, it is important to wear comfortable clothes that will allow you to move freely. Most people underestimate how important it is to choose clothing that fits properly. This will help avoid any unpleasant surprises or rubbing during your workout. When it comes to bras, make sure that the band is snug but not too tight—this can cause sweating and aggravate rubs. In the event, you need to remove a bra during your workout, be gentle and use a towel or water-soaked cloth instead of trying to yank it off quickly. A majority of the clothes you wear every day have some degree of stretch and are thus good for conditioning exercise. This includes gym clothes, yoga pants, sweatshirts and leggings. By stretching these clothes regularly during exercise, you will be able to resist soreness and fatigue for a longer period of time.
Choose form-fitting clothing
For those of us who are self-conscious about our body fat percentage or workout endurance level, choosing form-fitting clothing is essential in hiding any imperfections while simultaneously boosting our confidence during our workouts. By fitting into a snug but comfortable clothing, wearers can focus their attention on their fitness routine instead of focusing on their body composition or fitness level. Other great options include compression clothing (such as socks) that help improve circulation by squishing the blood vessels near the skin which improves oxygen delivery to muscles when working out hard.
When it comes to sportswear, you have to find the ideal fit, i.e. material that won't irritate you and will be like a second skin. I hope this article helped you to choose the best one. Finally, we just want to encourage you to stay active and do sports. | eng | c87cb3ce-5ac3-4f39-97f6-79cab6de7607 | https://activelifestylewoman.com/right-clothes-for-every-excercise/ |
1. Create a New Timeline
First, you need to create a new timeline (or duplicate the original project timeline if you have it) and specify a resolution that matches the aspect ratio of the platform on which you want to deliver your video.
Step 1: Go to "File" and select "New Timeline".
Note: If you've opened the original video project edited in DaVinci Resolve, you can just duplicate this rather than start with a brand new timeline.
To do this, right-click on the timeline and select "DuplicateTimeline". Then, right-click on the duplicated timeline and select "Timeline" > "TimelineSettings".
Step 2: In the pop-up window open the "Format" tab and uncheck "UseProjectSettings".
Step 3: Select the appropriate resolution and aspect ratio for the platform you want to deliver your video on. If you post the video on TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts, you can set the resolution to "1080 by 1920" (this is the most popular resolution for those platforms).
Step 4: For "MismatchedResolution" select "Scale full frame with crop".
Step 5: Click "Create" to create the new timeline.
2. Add your video to the timeline
If you're starting from scratch, drag and drop your video clips onto the timeline and trim/cut them (if you duplicated your timeline in the previous steps, your clips will already be here, so ignore this step).
3. Enable Smart Reframe in DaVinci Resolve
Step 1: Select each clip in the timeline that needs to be adjusted by the "Smart Reframe" feature.
Step 2: Go to the "Inspector" tab.
Step 3: Locate "SmartReframe" in the "Transform" section.
Step 4: Set the "ObjectofInterest" to "Auto".
DaVinci Resolve will now automatically identify the main subject in each video clip and follow it around to keep it in the frame.
Instead of "Auto" you can select "Reference Point". The reference point can be adjusted by clicking and dragging the crosshair over the desired object in the video. DaVinci will try to keep that object in the frame.
This allows for more control over the reframing process and ensures that the main subject in the video remains in the same position.
Note that the "Reference Point" will have to be set for each clip individually.
In most cases, "Auto" works pretty well.
Step 5: Click "Reframe".
4. Results
Now, play your video (if it doesn't play smoothly you can optimize playback) and check that the main subject is automatically placed in the center of the frame, and it's position adjusts throughout the whole clip.
5. Render the Video in DaVinci Resolve
Once you have adjusted the Smart Reframe settings, you can render the video.
Step 1: Go to the "Deliver" page.
Alternatively, you can use the shortcut "Shift + 8" to open the "Deliver" page.
Smart Reframe makes it easy to reframe standard videos into short-form vertical videos for platforms like TikTok. Now you know how to use it properly!
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the main subject not centered when using Smart Reframe in DaVinci Resolve?
If your main subject is not in the center of the frame, you may need to adjust the framing of your video by changing the "ObjectofInterest" setting to "Reference Point" instead of "Auto". You can do this in the "Smart Reframe" panel. If this does not work, you can manually adjust the framing via the "Transform" panel, or use a different aspect ratio.
Can I use Smart Reframe on multiple clips at once?
Yes, you can apply Smart Reframe to multiple clips at once by selecting the clips in the timeline and then enabling Smart Reframe. However, it only works when "Object of Interest" in the Smart Reframe panel is set to "Auto". When "Object of Interest" is set to "Reference Point", you will have to enable Smart Reframe for each clip individually (and set a "Reference Point" for each of them). | eng | e76c8d50-7bd3-47f5-8e02-5a94561c3a00 | https://createdtech.com/how-to-use-smart-reframe-in-davinci-resolve-studio |
The main thing that makes a container different is you can really only run a single process in it. That process might be a shell like bash, with a complete file system and distro behind it, but don't do that. That'll just make you want to have some kind of persistent state of the container which you really shouldn't have. Sometimes you'll need to mount a network share in order to import/export data, but that's data, not state.
That's where things like docker compose come into play when you have an app, a web server, and a database all running in different containers and talking to each other over a shared network.
Docker sounds amazing, but just like learning a coding language and getting better at code, I know I should but I put it off.
VMs are just more intuitive to do things like setup networking, resources, winscp, putty, snapshots etc.
I also tried to use git in a container, couldn't, couldn't install it, then thought if it was on the host it would work, that was derp haha. It's just in way over my head so I can't get basic stuff done.
Same with git.
I need to stop being a bitch and force myself to get better with a language, PowerShell, git and docker.
Then I assume I can SSH in and change some configs to make it a tailscale NAT router.
@oO.o a snippet example of the Synology pop-up when you install an app and it automatically makes a firewall rule for you to open the port/ports for the app:
Jebus that is freaky- I used SSO with my github account to create my tailscale account, then installed the client app on my synology, clicked open, it auto logged me in with the github account. I guess just nifty cookies, source IP or whatnot, nothing magical but I'm just not used to simplicity at this level. I know they like to say "zero config VPN" but damn…
Its not hard to do this via a number of VPN setups on pfsense, with openVPN being very turn key, but I like the idea of a split tunnel setup where not all of my phone's data is routing through my home router. I know there are a lot of options in openVPN but I don't think I've seen a good tutorial on split tunnel.
Maybe as simple as just unchecking this?
If so I feel pretty derpy as then my OpenVPN has been a solution all this time.
example I used my VPN to get a file from home while away but then also kicked in an app install and it draaaaged. Now to test this split traffic that tailscale is supposed to solve.
I have some clients on Tailscale via Synology (smaller clients, like individuals, not companies with several or more employees). It's been fine, just be sure to update Tailscale along with DSM updates and hang back on major DSM updates for a while. It has been buggy before on DMS point releases (I don't remember which ones).
Is tailscale default split tunnel? I'm not finding info on this, but I'm assuming when off the LAN pretty much all traffic is routing as if there is no VPN and only traffic needing those LAN services are tunneled?
And if I simply un-check the "Redirect IPv4 Gateway" on my OpenVPN interface configuration is it effectively the same thing?
So unfortunately tailscale hasn't been as seamless as desired. More times than not when I'm away from my wifi tailscale is either having a routing issue or its my janky OP6 android software but often I have to jump onto my openvon to then check on home assistant.
Next time I'll try to remember to get into my NAS first and see if this is more the home assistant app.
I'm finding an issue with my tailscale setup. It cannot move large files.
For example I can navigate my NAS's files remotely, and even open some small up, but if I try to copy something large it fails.
Same with Synology's photo app. It will back up my photos when connected to wifi and charging but fail at backing up the vids.
If I turn off tailscale and turn on my openVPN connection then the Synology photo app gets the chunky vids through.
So tailscale can setup a connection and has visibility into my LAN, but I have no idea where and how to troubleshoot the stack to try and figure out where this failure occurs. Is this a jumbo frame enablement thing? A confliction with transitions from protocols like UDP and TCP to IP and then and Ethernet frames? Nuking it and maybe as simple as a Synology firewall rule if tailscale changes sockets for large files and streams?
Most of the time, Tailscale should work with your firewall out of the box. Thanks to NAT traversal, nodes in your tailnet can connect directly peer to peer, even through firewalls. To get many firewalls working with Tailscale, try opening a firewall...
I need to enable NAT-PMP…
I don't think I'm comfortable with this… Rather than enable it I'm wondering if I can make for more specific rules/mappings. There are some interesting settings that kinda do this at first glance, need to read into the documentation better. | eng | 5ad38a94-abed-4c90-9904-9d925871550a | https://forum.level1techs.com/t/tokens-lvl1-blog-edit-tokens-rantings/141877?page=24 |
