Good Practices for Safe Night Driving
The shorter days of winter inevitably lead to more night driving than in the other seasons.
Those of us without perfect eyesight may find it a stressful adjustment each year. It can even be a dangerous one if we don't take the dangers of night driving into consideration. We can make a big difference in our lives and the lives of those we pass on the road with a few basic precautions.
The Hazards of Night Driving
The road can look very different at night than it does in broad daylight, even to someone with perfect eyesight and excellent night vision. Upcoming curves and obstacles can be harder to notice through the deep shadows and the glare of oncoming headlights. Even if you're confident that you can adjust to these conditions, not everyone on the road is in your situation, so we should all be extra careful to help minimize the risk of nighttime car accidents.
Night Driving Gets Harder With Age
The older we get, the worse our night vision tends to become. This is because we gradually lose some of the rods in our eyes (the photoreceptors that distinguish between light and dark). At the same time, the lenses in our eyes become stiffer and cloudier over the decades, making focusing harder and increasing our sensitivity to glare. The combined result makes it harder to be confident in our night driving.
Be Mindful of How Your Eyesight Changes
Early symptoms of eye problems that can eventually compromise your safety on the road at night include cloudy, dim, or blurry vision, increased glare, halo effects around lights, and eye fatigue. If you're experiencing these symptoms, we urge you to schedule an eye exam. We might be able to correct the underlying problem or address them with a change in glasses prescription.
Night Driving Aids
Mild to moderate night driving difficulties can sometimes be mitigated with aids and solutions, including wearing night driving glasses, being well-rested before getting on the road, and eating plenty of eye-healthy foods. These include carrots, sweet potatoes, and spinach. Something as simple as keeping the windshield, windows, and headlights clean can make a big difference.
Know When to Stay Off the Roads at Night
Past a certain point, it's simply safer and wiser to avoid driving at night. We know how inconvenient this can be, but it's worth the effort to stay safe and no longer have to worry about the danger of driving in those conditions.
Make Use of Your Best Resource: The Eye Doctor
If night driving has become more of a struggle lately, don't put off your next eye exam. We're happy to help you discover the cause and find the best solution. Bring us whatever questions or concerns you have about night driving or other vision-related issues.Shop Online

The Hungry Orphaned Black Bear Cubs…
As mother bear dies she slips from the tree branch hitting the ground below, and the mob of hollering hounds begin to nip and bite at her lifeless body. The men turn her lifeless body over exposing her belly, discovery they've killed a mother Black Bear by mistake, and it's illegal to kill any Black bear accompanied by a cub or cubs. The men decide it's an easy fix because they never saw any cubs during the chase because they lost sight of their dogs. High tech collars with radio telemetry tracking devices are used to follow the dogs from up to five miles or more away from the chase.
The mother's cubs cling to the upper branches of the tree balling loudly, but go silent when they hear the shot of thunder in the distance. The nine month old bear cubs begin searching for the scent of their mother in the air around them. They've been taught to stay in the tree until she calls for them. The cubs sit quietly in the tree waiting for the all clear signal from their mother. Its unbearably hot in September, and the cubs are getting thirsty | eng | b344ed83-6e9d-41e4-9fd2-8bded7752650 | https://wolvesofdouglascountywisconsin.com/2018/09/24/the-hungry-orphaned-black-bear-cubs-2/ |

[ARCHIVED] Cybersecurity tips from the Beavercreek Police Department
The internet has proven to be a useful and necessary tool for many. Unfortunately, scammers and those who want to steal your identity know this all too well. Since cybercrimes are one of the fastest growing crimes, the Beavercreek Police Department would like to remind residents of the following information to help prevent cyberattacks.
What is cybersecurity?
Cybersecurity is protecting computers and mobile devices – such as smartphones and tablets – from unauthorized access, attacks, and harm. Businesses and consumers have increased their reliance on technology, making it crucial for businesses and individuals to safeguard personal information.
Threats of cybersecurity:
Pharming is a scheme that utilizes sending users a fake website where hackers can secretly collect your personal information and passwords. To combat this, do not open an email you are not familiar with or have not signed up to receive.
Phishing (email impersonation) sends you fake emails that appears to come from a legitimate source looking to verify personal or financial information. When reading emails, be sure to look for red flags. Messages may contain grammar errors or spelling mistakes. Additionally, the web address may be similar to a legitimate company, organization, or government agency, but not exact. Scammers often create imposter websites to trick you into revealing personal information to untrusted sources.
Spyware is malicious code that is hidden on your computer, recording everything you do and ultimately sharing your personal information over the Internet. Never download software from a source you do not trust. Look for "https" or the "lock icon" to ensure the website is secure.
Trojans and Viruses appear to be useful tools (downloaded programs) at first, but subsequently damage and affect your computer's normal operation through self-replicating harmful programs. This can be prevented with a trusted company that has proven firewall/antivirus software.
Tips to protect yourself against cyberattack:
You can help avoid cyber risks by taking the following steps in advance:
Limit personal information you share online, change privacy settings and do not use location features
Keep software applications and operating systems up-to-date
Create strong passwords by using upper- and lower-case letters, numbers and special characters; utilize two methods of verification
Watch for suspicious activity that asks you to do something right away, offers something that sounds too good to be true, or needs your personal information - when in doubt, do NOT click
Protect your home and/or business using a secure Internet connection and Wi-Fi network, and change passwords regularly
Don't share PINs or passwords, use devices that use biometric scans when possible (e.g. fingerprint scanner or facial recognition)
Check your account statements and credit reports regularly
Be cautious about sharing personal financial information, such as your bank account number, Social Security number or credit card number
Use antivirus and anti-malware solutions, and firewalls to block threats
Do not click on links in texts or emails from people you don't know, scammers can create fake links to websites
Remember that the government/police department will not call, text or contact you via social media about owing money
Keep in mind that scammers may try to take advantage of financial fears by calling with work-from-home-opportunities, debt consolidation offers, and student loan repayment plans | eng | 2ede6236-39ce-4ccb-9745-58676b7a973a | https://www.beavercreekohio.gov/CivicAlerts.aspx?AID=285&ARC=795 |

THE THREE DANCERS
Les Trois danseurs
1925
This picture is the artist's first Surrealistic work, in which he "proves harmony by algebra" by breaking the human body into pieces and re-assembling it using absolutely unique patterns born in his head. Some believed that the discord in the relationship with his wife, the former ballerina Olga Khokhlova, was the reason why he depicted the dancers as convulsive puppets. Only in 1965, the artist explained that the painting filled with broken figures should have really been called "The Dance of Death", as it was inspired by memories of the death of two of his fellow artists: Carlos Casagemas in 1901 and Ramon Pichot in 1925 (both involved in a love triangle with a femme fatale Germaine Gargallo). Carlos Casagemas accompanied Picasso during his first visit to Paris. Overwhelmed by passion for Germain, he shot her and then committed a suicide. In the first case, the bullet missed, and after a while the lady became the wife of Ramon Pichot. While working on "The Three Dancers", Picasso received the news of Pichot's death | eng | 01b5dedc-ed69-4900-9f17-6476959bb2f2 | https://www.pablo-ruiz-picasso.net/work-263.php |

Are you planning pregnancy at 45? You will likely be getting a lot of mixed feelings.
Becoming pregnant at 45 is a unique journey marked by distinct symptoms and heightened risks. This article delves into the physical and emotional symptoms, outlines potential health risks, and offers valuable tips for a safe and fulfilling pregnancy experience at this age.
Can you get pregnant at 45?
While pregnancy is still possible after age 45, the likelihood decreases as a woman's ovaries produce fewer eggs.
Ovulation prediction might be more of a challenge for women in their mid-40s due to the possibility of irregular menstrual cycles. In vitro fertilization (IVF) and other medical advances have increased couples' conceiving chances.
The risk around pregnancy after 45 grows, including miscarriage, gestational diabetes, hypertension, and chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome. Successful pregnancy beyond 45 requires mental readiness and a robust support system.
What are the chances of pregnancy at 45?
Conceiving at 45 is undoubtedly possible, yet it encounters significant challenges due to the natural decline in fertility that accompanies advancing age. As women approach menopause, their ovarian reserve decreases, leading to fewer and lower-quality eggs.
This biological reality often results in irregular menstrual cycles and unpredictable ovulation patterns, making it harder to pinpoint the optimal time for conception. Consequently, the chances of getting pregnant naturally decline substantially for women in their mid-40s.
While the road to conception may be more intricate, medical advancements offer options to enhance the likelihood of pregnancy.
Consulting a fertility specialist and undergoing thorough evaluations can provide valuable insights into the chances of getting pregnant at 45 and guide prospective parents toward informed decisions and optimal strategies for their unique circumstances.
11 symptoms of being pregnant at 45
Pregnancy at 45 symptoms is a unique set, reflecting the distinctive journey of conception and motherhood at this stage of life. You might want to go through this insightful book called 'Pregnancy After 40 Guide' by Ruth Daniel as you go through the common pregnant at 45 symptoms listed below.
Irregular menstrual cycles
Pregnancy at 45 often involves irregular periods, making it harder to identify missed periods as a clear sign of pregnancy.
Fatigue and exhaustion
Feeling more tired than usual is a common symptom due to hormonal changes and increased demands on the body during pregnancy.
Breast changes
Hormonal shifts can cause breast tenderness, enlargement, and darkening of the areolas, signaling early pregnancy.
Nausea and morning sickness
Many pregnant women experience nausea and vomiting, especially during the first trimester, though it may vary.
Increased urination
Hormonal changes lead to increased blood flow to the pelvic area, often resulting in more frequent trips to the bathroom.
Mood swings
Fluctuating hormones can lead to emotional ups and downs like those experienced during PMS.
Food aversions and cravings
RELATED READING
Abdominal bloating
Hormonal fluctuations and changes in digestion can lead to bloating and discomfort in the abdominal area.
Vaginal discharge
Increased vaginal discharge without any infection can be attributed to pregnancy hormones.
Shortness of breath
Breathlessness is a common pregnancy symptom because an enlarged uterus presses on the diaphragm. Due to the increased risks associated with maternal age, women starting pregnancies at 45 should consult a healthcare expert for an accurate diagnosis and adequate prenatal treatment.
Increased heart rate
Hormonal changes and increased blood volume can cause the heart to work harder, resulting in a slightly elevated resting heart rate. While these symptoms may indicate pregnancy, other factors can influence them.
Here are the pregnancy symptoms in detail, before & after missed period. Have a look:
9 potential risks to mother and baby if you get pregnant at 45
After going past the debate of what are chances of getting pregnant at 45, you need to deal with what possible complications await you if you conceive at this stage.
Embarking on pregnancy at 45 presents both the mother and baby with certain risks and considerations that differ from those of younger pregnancies. Advanced maternal age can introduce various challenges that require careful management and monitoring to ensure a safe and healthy pregnancy journey.
Increased maternal health risks
In over 45 pregnancy, women are prone to develop pregnancy-related hypertension, preeclampsia, and gestational diabetes. These disorders may impact the mother's and fetus' health, necessitating frequent medical tests and essential lifestyle modifications to manage the risks effectively.
Greater likelihood of chromosomal abnormalities exists
The likelihood that the baby will have chromosomal abnormalities like Down syndrome rises as the mother ages. Prenatal genetic testing and counseling are essential for accurate information and help in making decisions.
Elevated risk of miscarriage
The risk of miscarriage rises with age due to decreased egg quality and hormonal changes. This emotional and physical challenge highlights the importance of early prenatal care and emotional support for expectant mothers.
Preterm birth
Pregnant women at 45 have a higher likelihood of delivering prematurely. Preterm birth can lead to a range of health issues for the baby, requiring specialized medical attention and neonatal care.
Placenta issues
Maternal age may contribute to problems with the placenta, which can impact fetal growth and development. Regular monitoring and medical guidance are essential to address any potential placental complications.
Low birth weight
Babies born to older mothers are more prone to have lower birth weights, which can affect their immediate health and development. Adequate prenatal nutrition and medical supervision are essential to promote optimal fetal growth.
Developmental delays
Babies born to moms in their late reproductive years are more likely to be born prematurely and weigh less than the average newborn. Pregnant women need proper nourishment and medical care to have healthy babies.
More common C-section
Cesarean sections are more commonly necessary for older moms because of the increased risk of difficulties during pregnancy, such as placenta previa and fetal distress. Understanding these concerns thoroughly and working closely with one's healthcare team is essential for women seeking pregnancy at this age.
Consequences on health in the long run
There is some evidence that children of older moms have a slightly higher risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular problems. Lifelong health monitoring and proactive health measures may be warranted.
Pregnancy at 45 demands comprehensive prenatal care, close monitoring, and open communication between expectant mothers and healthcare providers to navigate these potential risks and ensure the well-being of both mother and baby throughout the pregnancy journey.
11 useful tips for a healthy pregnancy if you conceive at 45
A healthy pregnancy journey at 45 requires special attention and care to ensure the mother's and baby's well-being. Here are eleven essential tips for maintaining a healthy pregnancy:
Regular monitoring of blood pressure and glucose
Prenatal supplements
Consult a healthcare provider for appropriate supplements, such as prenatal vitamins, to meet increased nutritional needs.
Avoid harmful substances
Steering clear of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs is essential to prevent potential harm to the baby.
Educate yourself
Attend childbirth education classes and read up on pregnancy at an advanced age to make informed decisions. By following these tips, expectant mothers can optimize their health and increase the likelihood of a smooth and rewarding pregnancy for themselves and their babies.
Emotional well-being
Connecting with supportive friends, family, or a therapist can help manage emotions and create a positive pregnancy experience. Pregnancy at 45 demands vigilant self-care and close collaboration with healthcare professionals.
Commonly asked questions
This section offers concise responses to common inquiries about pregnancy at 45, addressing prospects of natural conception, prenatal tests, health during pregnancy, benefits of later parenthood, and the potential of pregnancy post-tubal ligation.
What are the chances of getting pregnant at 45 naturally?
Conceiving naturally at 45 is challenging due to diminished fertility and erratic menstrual cycles. However, assisted reproductive technologies like IVF can enhance pregnancy likelihood by utilizing stored or donor eggs.
What prenatal tests will you need if you're pregnant at 45? Will there be more than usual?
Pregnancy at 45 warrants extra screenings due to increased risks. Genetic testing, chorionic villus sampling (CVS), amniocentesis, and detailed ultrasounds are often recommended to ensure the well-being of both mother and baby.
Can you have a normal, healthy pregnancy at 45?
A healthy pregnancy is possible at 45 with meticulous medical oversight and a wholesome lifestyle. Regular check-ups, proper nutrition, and managing underlying health conditions are essential for a positive outcome.
What are the advantages of having a baby later in life?
Delayed parenthood can offer emotional maturity, financial stability, and well-established careers, providing a potentially more secure environment for the child. Older parents often bring a wealth of life experiences and wisdom to child-rearing.
Can a woman get pregnant after 45 if she had tubal ligation?
While rare, pregnancy can occur after tubal ligation. The chances are low, and the risk of ectopic pregnancy increases. Consulting a healthcare professional is advised; options may include tubal ligation reversal or assisted reproductive techniques like IVF using stored eggs or donor eggs | eng | fb6f374e-45e9-45ff-ae73-9efa82503960 | https://www.marriage.com/advice/pregnancy/pregnancy-at-fourty-five/ |
Clark symposium celebrates two centuries of 'Frankenstein'
June 6, 2018
By
Anne Gibson, Ph.D. '95
If a great book is one that resonates across cultures and generations, Mary Shelley's novel "Frankenstein, or "The Modern Prometheus," qualifies hands down. First published in London in 1818, the tale of Dr. Victor Frankenstein and the 8-foot-tall, semi-human creature that he fashioned elicits in its readers strong conflicting emotions — from pity and empathy to terror and disgust — and remains a source of inspiration for literary spinoffs, movies, cartoons, comic books, and academic discourse.
Kasmer, associate professor of English and Chair, opened the conference by depicting Frankenstein as a beautiful failure, one that foretells the myriad of failed policies of the modern nation-state. In particular, she likened the selfish ambition of Dr. Frankenstein, who sought personal glory through his bungled attempt to create a new species, with what she called "the failed and devastating policy of colonialism in the 19th century," in which the British government "claim[ed] to be a provider, not a destroyer."
In her blog post for ClarkWrites, English major Logan Manchester '19 described how Kasmer "explained the failed policy of colonialism with its paternalistic discourse as being a result of systems of power enforced through trauma that lack a sense of awareness." Like Frankenstein's creature, the countries conquered for Britain's glory were the result of a violent and exploitive process carried on under the guise of bringing the benefits of "civilization" to those it deemed inferior.
Speaker Alan Richardson, professor of English at Boston College, placed "Frankenstein" firmly in the context of the 18th-century Enlightenment, of which Shelley and her intellectual circle were a part.
Richardson noted that some Enlightenment scientists and philosophers — in opposition to accepted religious teachings about a divinely created soul — had begun to posit that the mind, as generator of thoughts and behaviors, was simply the result of a physiological process that took place in the brain. Other scientists were entertaining nascent theories of species evolution, exploring differences between humans and other life forms, and speculating about the nature of human development over the course of a lifetime. Richardson successfully demonstrated that these intellectual explorations provided a highly relevant context for Shelley's novel.
'Frankenstein' and its 'deep investment in social justice'
In her presentation titled " 'Frankenstein': A Social Justice Manual," Betsy Huang, associate professor of English and director of Clark's Center for Gender, Race and Area Studies (CGRAS), called Shelley's novel "the mother lode of all the great ethical and moral questions that drive the speculative impulse in science fiction."
English Professor Betsy Huang presents "'Frankenstein': A Social Justice Manual"
What Huang said she finds compelling about "Frankenstein" is its "deep investment in social justice," especially its "exposure of the ways justice, meted out by individuals and institutions, repeatedly fails its most vulnerable subjects even as it protects members of the most privileged classes." For Huang, the creature is analogous to the "vulnerable subject," while Dr. Frankenstein is the person of privilege.
" 'Frankenstein' anticipates contemporary analyses of post-coloniality and raciality," she said. The bias generated by the creature's unappealing appearance "sustains the persistence of racism, how it speaks to the place of anger and rage expressed by the abject."
Melanie Jennings '19, in her post, noted that Philosophy Professor Patrick Derr's presentation "applied theological, biological, and philosophical perspectives to argue that the social and scientific age of Frankenstein is upon us.
Philosophy Professor Patrick Der
"According to Professor Derr, the first distinction we must establish … is what is a 'human' and what is a 'person.' A human represents a number in our living species, whereas a person is an individual deserving of respect. … Elitism denies that all human beings deserve respect and, instead, only particular individuals, usually of superior race, socioeconomic status, and gender, are worthy of such rights."
Jessica Hoops '18 wrote a blog post about the presentation made by Jennifer Plante, director of Clark's Writing Center, who reflected on parallels between the discrimination suffered by Frankenstein's creature and systemic racism reflected in Jordan Peele's horror film "Get Out." The theme "resonates with the Monster's situation in 'Frankenstein' (since his social standing is comparable to other marginalized individuals, such as women, queer people, and people of color)," Hoops wrote.
Hugh Manon, associate professor and director of screen studies, used 1981's "Frankenstein Island" as a jumping-off point to explore the nature of cult films in the framework of what psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan describes as jouissance, "a sort of excessive pleasure-pain."
Manon argued that the true cult-film enthusiast indulges in a search for obscure, substandard films like "Frankenstein Island," hoping against hope that the next "Frankenstein" film will be worth watching, but knowing "there's a high probability that he'll find himself deadly bored, and wondering how the film could possibly be so unsatisfying." At that point, the viewer will discover another film with Frankenstein in the title, and repeat the process.
Panel session wraps it all up
"Frankenstein at 200" concluded with a panel session titled "Understanding the Monster: A Strange and Terrific Story," at which four Clark English majors presented papers:
Melanie Jennings '19, "Treatment versus Torture: Shelley's Address of the Binary in Bioethics": Jennings described a parallel between Frankenstein's failed and abused creature — the result of a scientific experiment gone wrong — and the 20th-century African-American men exploited in the notorious Tuskegee Institute syphilis research study. She argues that in both cases, the subjects' treatments would not have been considered ethical had white "fully human" subjects been used.
Logan Manchester '19, "Framing Empathy: Using the Frame Narrative to Shape Empathy in Frankenstein": Manchester noted that Frankenstein was written in the form of a frame narrative, a sort of story within a story. A reader of the novel learns about Dr. Frankenstein and his creature through the eyes of Walton, the story's narrator, whose obvious feelings of empathy for the doctor shape the reader's perspective similarly.
Miranda Briggs '18, "The Monstrous Heterosexuality in Frankenstein and Male Anxieties Concerning the Female Body": Briggs argued that several factors — the deaths of the novel's female characters, the close relationship between Victor Frankenstein and his childhood friend Walton, as well as with the male creature he created — suggest that heterosexual relationships are perceived as problematic by Dr. Frankenstein. His inability to establish a satisfactory relationship with a woman reflects the early 19th-century perception that women's limited intellectual capacity made true intimacy impossible between men and women.
Zachary Noel '18, " 'Young Frankenstein' and Pop Culture Interpretations": Noel reflected on the relevance and appeal of "Frankenstein" in the modern era, notably as revealed in the popular Mel Brooks film comedy "Young Frankenstein." Noel maintained that "whether you do or do not know the novel, you can watch this show and appreciate Mary Shelley in a new retelling in a way that allows people to take this 200-year-old book and put it into a new light and a new era." | eng | ee9c60d6-9f53-4f74-8882-74ea0b05d234 | https://clarknow.clarku.edu/2018/06/06/clark-symposium-celebrates-two-centuries-of-frankenstein/ |
10 TIPS TO IMPROVE YOUR ROAD-RIDING PERFORMANCE
You spend the majority of any triathlon race in a saddle, so if you can make it as comfortable and hassle-free as possible, why wouldn't you? Here are 10 simple tricks and techniques to boost your ride time…
01 CHOOSE YOUR POSITION
Do you stand or do you sit? It's a common question when it comes to ascending. The answer? That depends on your anatomy as there's evidence that larger triathletes will benefit from remaining in the saddle while lighter ones should stand more. A further study from Professor Ernst Hansen showed that road cyclists were more efficient when remaining seated until the gradient hit 10%. After that, standing became more efficient.
02 TAP INTO TECH
A bike computer's a worthwhile purchase and not one that needs to break the bank. Yes, top-end models from the likes of Garmin and Polar generate enough data to satiate the most committed technophile's appetite. But there remain more affordable options like the sub-£50 Cateye Micro Wireless Bike Computer, which has 10 features including current speed and trip distance.
03 LEARN TO WIND-CHEAT
Riding in the wind's a useful skill to learn in the UK. More experienced can learn to ride in packs and even form echelons, where you shape your mini-peloton depending on the angle of the wind. But to start with, simply remember to shift down a gear or two to maintain a smooth, efficient pedal stroke. That'll mean decreased speed but that's fine. Measure your ride by effort rather than what speed/hr you can hit. This is where a heart rate monitor comes in handy. When the headwind strikes, aim to remain at a pre-specified hear rate and you'll pace your ride far more effectively.
04 INVEST IN A TURBO
A turbo trainer's a useful purchase to keep you riding through all weathers. Beyond increasing fitness, they're also great to improve technique. The one-legged pedalling drill naturally achieves this goal by ensuring you pedal in a nice, efficient circular fashion. To take this to the next level, hold the opposite hand off the hood as well so that you're engaging your trunk. This is particularly good for your abs and obliques.
05 MAINTAIN SPEED
Your bike's only as good as your cleaning routine. That means ideally cleaning your chain, gears, brakes and wheels every two to three weeks. Lubricate the moving parts regularly, too. When it's winter, go for the 'wet' version so they won't wash off through puddles.
06 HANDLE LIKE A PRO
Crank up your confidence by improving your cornering skills. A guaranteed way to turn more proficiently is by entering a corner wide, cutting in and then exiting wide. Reduce speed before entering the corner rather than during. Once this becomes easy, ask a cycling or triathlon friend to ride into the corner ahead of you and follow them. Start a couple metres back and, as confidence grows, ride closer. This'll improve your handling with and without a riding pal.
07 MAXIMISE YOUR COMMUTE
With many of us returning to the office, your commute can provide a perfect platform to boost cycling time and triathlon fitness. Just remember to mix things up. So instead of cycling, say, the six miles to work at the same intensity, cycle two miles easy, two hard, two easy. Or one-mile easy, one-mile hard and do that three times. Or even one-mile easy, halfmile hard, half-mile easy four times over. You can even ride to work as fast as you can in the easiest gear. This variety stimulates a number of physiological adaptations, like greater stamina and speed, and will add fun to your working week.
08 WORK ON CORE
A strong core can help prevent excessive upperbody movement. That's why you should consciously focus on your core muscles when riding plus strengthen them off the bike with some at-home exercises, including the plank. Also, avoid muscling big gears round at low revs. Unless you have superb core strength, you'll rock from side to side, which creates a lot of drag.
09 PICK THE RIGHT SEAT
Saddle sores range from small spots to large boils and, as you can imagine, are incredibly painful. They're likely to be caused by chafing but can be prevented by saddle choice, specifically cut-out saddles, which help relieve pressure down below. Also, chamois cream is a must and ensure you wash your bib shorts after each ride.
10 PREVENT BACK ISSUES
Lower-back problems are common in cycling, especially when starting out and if you're of a 'slightly older persuasion'. One of the main reasons is down to an incorrect bike set-up leading to overstretching in search of the handlebars, which exerts increasing pressure on the lumbar spine. To remedy the situation, a professional bike fit's the ideal, if funds allow, although there are several DIY actions you can take. These include flipping the stem over and raising the handlebars. A shorter stem will help to reduce stretch, too. For newcomers, as distance increases, it really is key that you become higher at the front end and less stretched. | eng | 6aae7e7c-ff39-4010-9b7c-58567f54170d | https://www.pressreader.com/uk/220-triathlon-magazine/20220614/282707640695370 |
Well, This Is One Unexpected Benefit of Living in a Tiny Home
We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs.
If you're charmed by the prospect of downsizing your life and relocating into the tiny home of your dreams, here's another compelling reason to make the move: According to research done by Maria Saxton, a Ph.D., candidate in environmental planning and design at Virginia Tech, those who live in tiny homes cut their carbon footprint by 45 percent.
Examining the behaviors of 80 tiny house dwellers, Saxton compared their carbon footprints before and after they lived in their small-scale homes for a year and published her findings in The Conversation. Detailed interviews with nine participants showed that moving into a tiny home resulted, more often than not, in increased water conservation and use of solar power, recycling, and conscious shopping and a decrease in meat consumption and car travel. Saxton's findings showed that 86 percent of tiny home downsizers' changed behaviors had a positive impact on their environmental footprints.
This research makes a case for sustainably minded folks to consider tiny home living, but even if a downsize isn't in your future, you can take a lesson in environmental consciousness from those who have made the move. Apply these tips to your own home and cut your carbon footprint no matter where you live.
Consider solar panels
Not only does solar energy not produce air and water pollution or greenhouse gasses, unlike other sources of power, but it can also save you money. One study by a professor at Boston University showed that panels could help homeowners to even make money by generating excess energy they can sell.
Practice KonMari when you're shopping
Sure, the KonMari method can help keep your home stress-free and decluttered, but when you start seriously asking yourself if things spark joybefore you buy them, you can become a more conscious consumer. Tiny house dwellers have to be mindful of what they buy since they have less real estate to stash binge purchases. Even if you have plenty of organizing space, a little extra thought can keep you from buying things you're destined to toss anyway.
Conserve water
Off-grid tiny homes use filtered rainwater or water tanks for their water supply, so people who live in them have to be mindful about how they use their supply. If you do live on the grid, it's still beneficial to consider how much water you use every day. According to The Water Footprint Calculator, installing low-flow faucets, using an energy-efficient washing machine, fixing leaks, and taking shorter showers can help you cut down your water use. | eng | 6e8bd7ff-c0ea-41e4-86d3-a8f83471bfd7 | https://www.domino.com/content/tiny-house-living/?amp |
NPCI data further shows, out of the 19 lakh UPI IPO mandates, banks have processed nearly 3.3 lakhs in the previous month.
Therefore, almost 17% of applicants who applied for IPO have been allotted their shares.
In early 2021, Paytm Payments Bank signed a partnership with Paytm Money to allow payments for IPO applications. Moreover, it also got authorisation from SEBI to make @paytm a valid handle for payment of IPO applications.
How will UPI prove helpful for IPO?
The Unified Payment Interface is going to help the IPO process in the following ways:
UPI will reduce the manual intervention usually required at various stages of the IPO process.
It will essentially decrease the overall time between issue closure and listing.
UPI is going to substantially increase the efficiency of the IPO process by streamlining the amount locking.
Akin to the ASBA process, in UPI, your money will stay in your bank account until the allotment.
Easy steps to apply for IPO via BHIM UPI app
If you want to apply for IPO using the UPI method, here's a step-by-step guide to help you with the process:
At first, create a UPI ID for your bank.
Now, go to the online IPO application form and provide the necessary bid details.
Thereafter, enter your UPI ID and then submit the form.
Once you have completed these steps, your stockbroker is going to upload various details to the stock exchange. Then, it will verify and validate your PAN and Demat account with NSDL/CSDL.
Your UPI ID, along with bid details, will be sent to the IPO merchant banker thereafter. You will then receive a request from the sponsor bank to approve and initiate blocking of funds via UPI app.
After your approval, the amount will be withdrawn from your account.
Final words
As of now, the total number of applications for shares through UPI mode is low. However, experts believe it is only going to rise in the following days. With so many significant IPOs planned this year, investor interest is about to reach a record high as UPI becomes more mainstream | eng | 1546c639-0279-43da-bab7-8aee51f9a68d | https://www.angelone.in/blog/banks-received-more-than-19-lakhs-ipo-applications-through-upi-in-june |
Many individuals experience an intestinal infection or food poisoning at some stage of their lives, compelling them to remain near the restroom. This situation is highly uncomfortable, yet it usually resolves swiftly.
But around 60,000-100,000 Danes suffer from a form of chronic diarrhea called Bile Acid Malabsorption or Bile Acid Diarrhea.
It is a persistent ailment marked by frequent and abrupt diarrhea, occurring over 10 times daily. While the condition is not life-threatening, it can significantly impact the patient's daily existence, particularly their social life, and cause significant disability.
"Having to urgently visit the restroom multiple times throughout the day becomes necessary. Consequently, maintaining employment or nurturing social connections can prove challenging, leading many individuals to isolate themselves. The illness exerts a dominating influence over their lives," remarks Professor Jesper Bøje Andersen from the Biotech Research & Innovation Centre.
Professor Jesper Boje Andersen, along with his research group and clinical collaboration partners at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital, led by Professor and Consultant Doctor Filip Krag Knop, are spearheading a recent study. This study introduces innovative methods for diagnosing bile acid diarrhea and determining the most suitable treatment for each individual patient.
Filip Krag Knop highlights, "Many individuals experiencing chronic diarrhea remain unaware that they are afflicted by bile acid diarrhea and its underlying causes. This lack of awareness stems from limited knowledge among healthcare professionals and the relatively intricate, costly, and challenging diagnostic procedures for the disease that patients have to undergo."
We have devised a novel approach that enables the diagnosis of the disease through a straightforward blood sample. Currently, diagnostic methods involve the use of radiopharmaceuticals, posing a radiation risk. The existing process is not necessarily perilous but rather unpleasant and laborious, and not all countries, including the US, endorse this method.
Consultant Doctor Filip Krag Knop
Jesper Bøje Andersen adds:
The novel method allows doctors to ascertain the presence of bile acid diarrhea in patients by analyzing a simple blood sample. The focus of their analysis lies in examining specific molecules, known as metabolites, present in the blood.
Jesper Bøje Andersen explains, "A blood sample encompasses numerous diverse metabolites. Presently, we can identify nearly 1,300 distinct metabolites, and among them, a few can be utilized for diagnosing bile acid diarrhea. The metabolites found in patients with bile acid diarrhea exhibit a distinct pattern that allows for their recognition."
Which Treatment?
The scientists examined blood samples from 50 patients and promptly discovered that the samples - along with the patients - could be classified into two categories.
"Initially, we were perplexed. The reason remained unclear. All blood samples were collected pre-treatment, usually at the point of diagnosis," Jesper Bøje Andersen explained.
Subsequently, the individuals enrolled in a randomized clinical trial at the Center for Clinical Metabolic Research at Herlev and Gentofte Hospital. During the trial, physicians investigated the impact of two distinct interventions: the conventional method utilizing the bile acid sequestrant colesevelam, and a novel approach employing liraglutide, typically prescribed for managing type 2 diabetes and obesity.
"The intriguing aspect is that the metabolites present in the patients' blood distinguished them into two categories: those who exhibit a favorable response to colesevelam and those who demonstrate a positive response to liraglutide. This implies that by analyzing the patient's blood at the time of diagnosis, we should be able to determine the most effective treatment," Jesper Boje Andersen explained.
The clinical investigation revealed that colesevelam treatment alleviated the symptoms of bile acid diarrhea in 50 percent of the patients, whereas liraglutide treatment improved the symptoms in 77 percent of the patients.
Jesper Boje Andersen, Filip Krag Knop, and their respective research teams aspire that this new study will bring benefits to the estimated 60,000-100,000 individuals in Denmark who experience bile acid diarrhea.
The majority of cases of bile acid diarrhea is diagnosed at a very late stage or never diagnosed at all. "Approximately 40 percent of the patients endure this condition for up to five years before receiving a diagnosis. This may be attributed to a lack of awareness regarding the nature of the disease and its treatability. Alternatively, it could be due to the social stigma surrounding chronic diarrhea," Filip Krag Knop explained.
Bile acid malabsorption (BAM) is a condition that occurs when your intestines can't absorb bile acids properly. This results in extra bile acids in your intestines, which can cause watery diarrhea. Bile is a natural fluid your body makes in the liver. (Pixabay)
About Bile Acid Diarrhea
When we consume high-fat food, the gallbladder releases bile acid to help in the absorption of fat and fat-soluble vitamins from the food. Normally, about 98 percent of the bile acid is absorbed by the small intestine and transported back to the liver through the bloodstream. However, if the body produces or releases excessive amounts of bile acid, or if the bile acid is not properly reabsorbed by the blood, a significant portion will accumulate in the large intestine. This accumulation leads to irritation of the intestinal lining, reduced fluid levels in the intestines, and increased intestinal contractions, all of which contribute to the symptoms associated with bile acid diarrhea.

Pixar's third feature film about aquatic life stars Luca, a young sea monster who lives with his parents and wonders about what lies above the water's surface in the very human realm of "the land monsters." Once there, he finds friendship in Alberto, a sea monster who has made a life for himself on the land. Naturally appearing as humans when dry, Alberto and Luca journey to the nearby town of Portorosso, where they dream of getting a Vespa so they can travel the world together.
Directed by Enrico Casarosa, "Luca" is Pixar's first film created by someone not born in the United States, as Casarosa was born in Genoa, Italy. Though he had previously directed "La Luna," a Pixar short which was shown before the movie "Brave" in 2012, "Luca" is Casarosa's feature debut.
While many viewers may see something familiar in the depictions of growing up and making friends, there are some aspects of "Luca" likely to pass younger viewers unnoticed. Here are things only adults notice in "Luca."
Luca is a literal fish out of water
There are many films, television shows, books, and stories that center on a character entering a foreign land with customs, languages, and social norms that are entirely new to them. Because this allows any audience to quickly acclimate to a new environment through the main character learning about their new surroundings, the fish out of water narrative structure is incredibly common.
In fact, this trope is so common that "Luca" isn't precisely the first Pixar film to fall into this narrative category. Entries in the Pixar canon such as "Cars," "Ratatouille," "WALL-E," "Monsters University," and "Coco" all share a similar style of thrusting their characters into strange worlds where they feel like outsiders. But common framing technique or not, no Pixar film has ever gone so far in taking its storytelling idiom so literally. With Luca literally bursting from the sea and needing to be taught how to walk on dry land, Pixar has perhaps achieved the ultimate fish out of water narrative, both figuratively and literally.
Italian film references abound
To say "Luca" is a personal film is a bit of an understatement. Being the first Italian to direct a Pixar film, it's no wonder "Luca" strongly evokes the culture and aesthetic of Italy. In talking to Slashfilm, the film's director Enrico Casarosa spoke about how much of the project is based on his memories. He said that his goal was to "take everybody to Italy and [have] these wonderful memories, [let's] make this a true love letter to the place."
So naturally, as an Italian filmmaker, it makes sense that "Luca" is stuffed to the gills with references to classic Italian cinema. Some of the references are small, such as a street sign in the background where Alberto and Luca first ask Giulia about the race. Viewers may notice that the sign reads "Vicolo De Sica," which translates to De Sica Alley. Vittorio De Sica is the director of some of the most celebrated Italian Neorealist films like "Shoeshine," "Umberto D.," and "Bicycle Thieves." More blatant references are seen as film posters in the town square. One of the films playing in the local cinema appears to be the 1954 Neorealist classic "La Strada," directed by Federico Fellini, arguably the most famous Italian director of all time. Though Italian filmmakers didn't make the title, one of the other films advertised in the square is made by an American director and stars non-Italian actors: "Roman Holiday," which, to be fair, was filmed entirely in Rome.
Phantom tail is a real thing, or at least it would be
When Luca gets out of the water and goes through his human transformation for the first time, he immediately notices that his new body lacks a tail. Yet strangely, he expresses a feeling that his tail hadn't gone away. Upon telling this to Alberto, he replies, "Yeah, that's called phantom tail. You'll get used to it." Though morphing from a sea monster into a human is a fictional aspect of this tale, the concept of a phantom tail isn't exactly outside the realm of reality.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, this is a regular part of missing a limb for many people. In fact, "An estimated 8 out of 10 people who lose a limb experience some degree of phantom pain." However, not everyone feels a lost limb in a painful way. These types of feelings are referred to as phantom sensations. Since Luca and all of the people who live underwater gently change into a human form upon becoming dry, it makes sense that there isn't any apparent pain involved with losing one's tail. So while the condition "phantom tail" may not exist seeing as humans don't have any tails, the sensation it is based on is a genuine medical phenomenon.
Luca's parents terrorize the humans
When Luca's parents, Daniela and Lorenzo, arrive on dry land to find their son, they quickly realize that walking around in woven kelp might be a bit conspicuous. So they find a set of clothes that had been set out to dry on a clothesline overnight and help themselves. Since Luca's parents only had kelp clothes and no money to speak of, the two understandably stay in the same set of clothes during their entire search for Luca. Putting aside the fact that someone from the town could have recognized their missing laundry when Luca's parents embrace him upon winning the Portorosso Cup, it's odd that Daniela and Lorenzo don't seem to have a problem staying in stolen clothes the rest of the time they are above sea level.
In addition, while they search for Luca, Daniela decides to throw kids into a fountain to see if any get scaly. Knowing at least that plucking the kids and dunking them one by one would be improper, she challenges a crowd of kids to take a soccer ball from her. What follows is a sports action scene that ends with each kid getting hip-checked or the ball hitting their sternums and kids face-planting in the water left and right. While it's sweet Luca's family would go to such lengths to bring their child home safely, they certainly have no qualms terrorizing the humans in their quest to find Luca.
Alberto has abandonment issues
One of the film's more introspective characters is Luca's friend Alberto. When the young sea monster is introduced, Alberto explains to Luca that his dad frequently leaves him alone to do what he wants on the surface world. Compared to Luca's overprotective parents, this is initially seen by Luca as a dream scenario. After all, Alberto can travel freely between the land and the ocean and do whatever he pleases.
As Luca becomes closer to the human girl Giulia, it becomes apparent that Luca's dreams may not align entirely with those of Alberto. While the pair of young dreamers had hoped to win a Vespa to travel the world together, Luca finds himself dreaming more and more about Giulia's human school. Of course, to Alberto this shift is difficult for him to accept, and ultimately a heated fight breaks out between the two, culminating in Alberto's aquatic form being revealed. Instead of sticking by his friend, Luca betrays Alberto in the heat of the moment.
When Luca goes to apologize, it is revealed that Alberto had long ago been left behind by his father. Luca is the only meaningful connection Alberto has. So when Luca considers giving up on their shared dream to go away with Giulia, Alberto sees Luca as abandoning him, just as his own father had done. In a final act of growth, Alberto gives up his Vespa to let Luca go to school, finally attaining a new sense of family with Giulia's dad, Massimo.
The film is real casual about the diversity of its characters
In Pixar's 2003 film "Finding Nemo," a lot of the interpersonal conflict between Marlin and Nemo revolve around Marlin being overprotective due to Nemo's "lucky fin." In short, a lot of the film was about Nemo proving both to himself and to his dad that despite being physically different, he could handle himself just fine.
"Luca" decides to handle its representation of Massimo, who was born with one arm, in a way that centers less on his differences. There are shots of his empty sleeve, fastened shut with a fishing hook that the boys glance nervously at (seemingly out of fear of all the sharp fish-killing implements in his house). Later, when Massimo notices that Alberto is staring at his sleeve, he answers the question that Alberto is obviously wondering about, saying that a sea monster ate his arm. He then laughs at the cliche and tells the boys, "This is how I came into the world." Beyond that interaction, the film is very low-key about the inclusion of a character with a disability.
Luca's trying to be a real boy, just like Pinocchio
One of the subjects that Giulia teaches Luca about is the story of Pinocchio, as it was originally written by Carlo Collodi. Giulia's book isn't the only bit of "Pinocchio" in the film. In addition to the book, Giulia also has a figurine of the wooden puppet on a shelf above her bed. But the references to the wooden puppet who wanted to be a real boy extend to the film's soundtrack, where the song "Il gatto e la volpe," or "The cat and the fox," details interactions between Pinocchio, a cat, and a fox, according to ScuolaScuola.
In a way, Pinocchio, Alberto, and Luca are all very similar in their desires to be real boys. For Alberto, he yearns to be important to Luca and first does this by claiming to be an expert on all things human. Luca first learns about the world and agrees to travel with Alberto because he wants to learn all of the interesting things that the human world holds. And though their noses don't grow with every lie they tell, the boys are revealed as inhuman whenever they are wet. However, in a departure from the original tale (which likely is not suitable for the target demographic given the dark themes), Luca and Alberto find out that they don't need to be human; they just have to be themselves.
Luca learns about real Italian contributions to science and culture
When Giulia starts teaching a fascinated Luca about the world and what exists beyond it, she seems to go about doing so in a way that mimics many of the fields that saw significant advancement during the Italian Renaissance. One of the most poignant examples is Giulia showing Luca that he is wrong about the stars being, what Alberto refers to as, sardines. In addition to looking through a telescope like famed Italian astronomer Galileo, Luca is shown some of the books that Giulia keeps in her room, each one open to famous Italian contributions to culture.
In addition to a diagram of the solar system, a sketch of the flying machines dreamt up by Leonardo de Vinci can be seen. Yet another book shows a picture of the ancient Roman Colosseum, one of Italy's most popular tourist attractions. Adding to the other Italian contributions to understanding the world and incredible feats of engineering is one more open book that is distinctly Italian. Though many Americans would likely think of "Pinocchio" as a Disney story, the original tale was written by Carlo Collodi, an Italian novelist.
Disney and Pixar easter eggs
Disney and Pixar are known for their films being filled with references to the company via obscure easter eggs. Sometimes they are deemed somewhat controversial, but oftentimes viewers misconstrue innocent images into something more suggestive, resulting in the birth of untrue urban legends, like the letters S-F-X spelling S-E-X in "The Lion King." Sometimes, these are fun little easter eggs to notice like hidden Mickeys, references to one particular classroom at the California Institute of the Arts, and Luxo, the lamp that hops on top of the I in Pixar.
"Luca" follows the pattern of hiding references to other Pixar properties for viewers to find. Similar to the hidden Mickeys is another familiar face that can be seen plainly in Giulia's room as she shows Luca her books. Sitting on the floor at the foot of her bed is a small plush of Donald Duck. Another easter egg is hidden in the text on the train ticket that Alberto gives to Luca at the end of the film. Printed on the small paper is "Genova via Portorosso A113 Lire 600." In another classic Pixar nod, the Pixar ball can be seen on one of the rooftops of Portorosso during the climactic Portorosso Cup race.
Going to the surface is talked about like puberty
When Luca arrives home an entire two minutes late, his mother asks about his tardiness, asking if there was a boat that forced him to hide until it passed. As the conversation around the dinner table gets going, Luca is exceedingly interested in learning more about the surface world after seeing a few baubles that fell off a boat. Luca decides to broach the topic of the surface and asks where boats come from. His father immediately spits out the food in his mouth as his grandma casually informs him that she beat a guy in a game of cards in the nearby human monster town.
Given the reverence in Luca's voice when he asks his grandma if she's been through "the change," and the way that she replies to Luca's mom about him being old enough to hear about the surface, the flow of conversation likely sounds familiar to many adults. Countless similar discussions have been had between anxious parents who are loath to acknowledge their kids' unexpected maturity and curious, growing kids. Though instead of bodies changing once they're dry, many adults will remember talking about distinctly different ways that bodies change along with how birds and bees factor into things.
Miyazaki influences run deep
Though "Luca" is steeped in Italian culture, not all elements of the film are centered around Italy. Casarosa drew a lot of influence in his filmmaking from one of the creative icons of his childhood. When talking to Slashfilm, Casarosa admits to having been a fan of Miyazaki since childhood, saying, "I'm such a [fan] of Miyazaki. He's a hero, you know, and I've had a chance to meet him. He's looming large in my DNA."
The most obvious way Miyazaki influenced Casarosa can be seen in the name of the town in which the film takes place. The seaside village of Portorosso sounds quite a bit like the title of one of Miyazaki's films about an anthropomorphized animal living among humans: "Porco Rosso." While this apparent bit of homage is rather obvious, there is another aspect of Miyazaki that can be found in Luca, but on a deeper level.
Casarosa admitted to loving "that eye for detail and that eye for nature" present in Miyazaki's films. Akin to the nostalgic, lived-in atmosphere of "From Up on Poppy Hill," Casarosa is able to rely on childhood memories of summer hijinks to recreate Italy on screen. Much like Miyazaki working on an animated depiction of Casarosa's hometown in "3000 Leagues in Search of Mother," "hopefully, there was something I could give to that place, because I experienced those summers and was there for it."
The film's message is about the bravery of being yourself
Luca, Alberto, and Giulia go through a lot over the course of the film and end up growing from their experiences. Giulia finds herself a member of a team and not just standing on the outside of life in Portorosso looking in. Alberto can move past the insecurities that stemmed from his dad leaving him. However, one of the first significant instances of personal growth in the film is exhibited by Luca during the Portorosso Cup.
After Alberto is revealed to the entire town as a sea monster due to the falling rain, Luca decides to charge headfirst into the inclement weather to save his friend. In the end, Luca finds the courage to boldly stand in solidarity with his friend and be himself, even though it could mean forfeiting his hopes and dreams that might have been achieved through assimilation into human society. When his parents worry about him being in the human world, his grandmother says, "Some people, they'll never accept him. But some will. And he seems to know how to find the good ones." The film reinforces this message by having Luca's family support his decision to go out into the world, proudly showing his true colors. | eng | 09c086a3-1ac0-44f4-baff-cb078a628886 | https://discovernet.io/2021/06/21/things-only-adults-notice-in-luca/ |

The processional — or the society in which people embark into a ceremony — is blossom time to highlight the people in your lives who wealthy person had the most positive influences on your relationship.
It 's easy to default to the model seen in moving pictures and on TV registers, but I promote you to seriously retrieve around who in your life has made you the twin that you are.
These people don't wealthy person to be a separate of the ceremonial occasion itself . Instead, merely reserve so victimization those replies to infuse the ceremony with reflexions on the two item-by-items getting married and the human relationship they rich person together.
If you're not sure where to start, research vow-writing shops . Although specific to the vows you power exchange with your partner, these workshops likewise bring home the bacon a sense of how you need the ceremony to feel and what role the officiant(s) volition play in keeping that space.
You can as well regain innocent templates have gain communication, purpose, and a little bit of moxie to create it fall out.
Create a quilt
Wedding quilts can become a focal point of your ceremony and a special token .
One idea : Have certain clients add certain put togethers of material to the ceremony to ulterior be made into a puff . If you're not handy, you can always collect cloth and outsource the creative activity of them.
Lean into flowered instalments, balloons arches, and other unconventional social systems
There 's zippo wrong with a simple ceremony arch, but I as well encourage you to search the wilderness world of flowered installings and balloon arches.
When in doubt and looking at for something unequaled, ask your marketers . What's something they've been itchiness to try out at work ? The answers may be too expensive or not in job with your and your partner's mission statement for your wedding, but they can still get the creative juices flow.
Take 10 minutes to yourselves after the ceremony
My nodes who take dedicated time for themselves afterward the ceremony e'er seem more relaxed and joyful than those who don't.
As you create your marriage ceremony day timeline, construct in this time and recognize it means certain guests will take to hold off just a moment to congratulate you.
Write everyone a missive to open during the ceremony
I got this approximation from professional officiant Barbara Densmore . To do it, the duet writes individualised letters to from each one node attending their marriage ceremony.
They can use the space to give thanks their node for attendance, speak virtually their alliance, or share a peculiar store . It's pretty sustainable and can pull up stakes a positive touch on everyone in attending .
Make way for a receiving rail line
I wish more people took advantage of this as a tool . The receiving line, which can be done correct later a ceremony, dedicates time for you to at least get contact with each of your nodes. | eng | 4c4f39ec-0f99-4fa8-9d69-2d7e42b799b8 | https://bellesoulweddings.com/8-choicest-bulletin-for-weird-espousal-commemoration/ |
Typical Symptoms of the Flu
Many people that have the flu actually misjudge it as being a cold since their symptoms are so tolerable so it can be confusing.
What Causes the Flu
It is important to understand that the influenza virus constantly changes and can mutate into a more severe or mild strain at any time. This allows it to infect someone's immune system who has had a flu shot because their vaccination may not protect against what the strain has become.
The flu is one of the easiest illnesses you can catch because it is spread through contact or by even breathing in infected air. Therefore, if a person walking in front of you at the mall coughs or sneezes into the air and you walk through those tainted air particles, you can become infected. Alternatively, if that same person covers their mouth with their hand when they cough or sneeze and then touches a railing or elevator button that you touch after them, you have picked up the virus.
What are the Symptoms?
Nearly everyone who has the flu experiences a pretty high fever, children can see dangerous levels. This is almost always accompanied with a sore throat, fatigue and muscle aches. Most people describe this uncomfortable feeling as everything hurting. Headaches can also be present and there is a good chance that you will have a runny or stuffy nose.
The majority of the population who experiences these symptoms will recover within two weeks, others will develop pneumonia, which can result in death.
Every fever or sore throat is not considered an emergency situation. However, it is important that you do seek medical treatment if symptoms become severe or if you experience abdominal or chest pain, difficulty breathing, persistent vomiting, confusion or dizziness. Due to the scare of the swine flu, doctor's offices and emergency rooms have been overwhelmed by individuals who have very mild influenza symptoms which takes time away from other patients who need attention more.
Additionally, symptoms of the flu in children can become serious quite fast so it is crucial that they are closely monitored. Your child should see a doctor if they are extremely irritable (more than average), not waking up, having a hard time breathing, not drinking liquids or have blue or pale skin. Children can become dangerously dehydrated pretty fast so this is always a concern with the flu. | eng | 341ad2d1-6b5d-4fe0-908a-07f77b35b09b | https://alternativemediasyndicate.net/typical-symptoms-of-the-flu.html |
William Shakespear Biography history essay help History homework help
Facts Regarding the Life and Death of Shakespeare There are few facts known with certainty about William Shakespeare's life and death. The best-documented facts are that Shakespeare was baptised 26 April 1564 in Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, England in the Holy Trinity Church, married Anne Hathaway at age 18, with whom he had three children, was an actor, playwright and theatre entrepreneur in London, owned property in both Stratford and London, and died 23 April 1616 at the age of 52.
William Shakespeare [1] was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, a small country town. He as the son of John Shakespeare, a successful glover and alderman from Snitterfield, and of Mary Arden, a daughter of the gentry. They lived on Henley Street, having married around 1557. The date of his birth is not known, but his baptismal record was dated 26 April 1564. This is the first official record of Shakespeare, as birth certificates were not issued in the time of Queen Elizabeth.
Because baptisms were normally performed within a few days of birth it is highly likely Shakespeare was born in April 1564, although the long-standing tradition that he was born on 23 April as no historical basis (baptisms at this time were not invariably performed exactly three days after birth as is sometimes claimed). Nevertheless, this date provides a convenient symmetry because Shakespeare died on the same day in 1616. It is also the Feast Day of Saint George, the patron saint of England, which might seem appropriate for England's greatest playwright.
Shakespeare's parents had eight children: Joan (born 1558, died in infancy), Margaret (1562-1563), William (himself, 1564-1616), Gilbert (1566-1612), Joan (1569-1646), Anne (1571-1579), Richard (1574- 1613), and Edmund (1 Shakespeare's father, prosperous at the time of William's birth, was prosecuted for participating in the black market in the dealings of and later lost his position as an alderman. Some evidence pointed to possible Roman Catholic sympathies on both sides of the family. 5] Education Shakespeare probably attended King Edward VI Grammar School in Stratford from the age of seven. [6] Edward VI, the king honoured in the school's name, had in the mid-16th century diverted money from the dissolution of the monasteries to endow a network of grammar schools to "propagate good literature… throughout the kingdom", but the school had originally been set up by the Guild of the Holy Cross, a hurch institution in the town, early in the 1 5th century. [6][7] It was further endowed by a Catholic chaplain in 1482.
It was free to male children in Stratford and it is presumed that the young Shakespeare attended,[8] although this cannot be confirmed because the school's records have not survived. [6] While the quality of Elizabethan era grammar schools was uneven, the school probably would have provided an intensive education in Latin grammar and literature""as good a formal literary training as had any of his contemporaries"[9]"reinforced with frequent use f corporal punishment. As a part of this education, the students would likely have been exposed to Latin plays, in which students performed to better understand the language.

ojoules to watt hours (kJ to Wh)
The formula for converting kilojoules to watt hours is: Wh = kJ × 0.27777777777778. To calculate the kilojoule value in watt hours first substitute the kilojoule value into the preceding formula, and then perform the calculation. If we wanted to calculate 1 kilojoule in watt hours we follow these steps:
Wh = kJ × 0.27777777777778
Wh = 1 × 0.27777777777778
Wh = 0.27777777777778
In other words, 1 kilojoule is equal to 0.27777777777778 watt hours.
Example Conversion
Let's take a look at an example. The step-by-step process to convert 6 kilojoules to watt hours is:
Understand the conversion formula: Wh = kJ × 0.27777777777778
Substitute the required value. In this case we substitute 6 for kJ so the formula becomes: Wh = 6 × 0.27777777777778
Calculate the result using the provided values. In our example the result is: 6 × 0.27777777777778 = 1.66666666666668 Wh
In summary, 6 kilojoules is equal to 1.66666666666668 watt hours.
Converting watt hours to kilojoules
In order to convert the other way around i.e. watt hours to kilojoules, you would use the following formula: kJ = Wh × 3.6. To convert watt hours to kilojoules first substitute the watt hour value into the above formula, and then execute the calculation. If we wanted to calculate 1 watt hour in kilojoules we follow these steps:
kJ = Wh × 3.6
kJ = 1 × 3.6
kJ = 3.6
Or in other words, 1 watt hour is equal to 3.6 kilojoules.
Conversion Unit Definitions
What is a Kilojoule?In the context of nutrition, kilojoules are often used to measure the energy value of foods and beverages. The energy we obtain from the food we eat is usually expressed in kilojoules or kilocalories (commonly referred to as calories). One kilocalorie is approximately equal to 4.184 kilojoules.
In chemical reactions, especially in the field of thermodynamics, energy changes are frequently measured in joules or kilojoules. The prefix "kilo-" denotes a factor of 1,000, so 1 kilojoule is equivalent to 1,000 joules.
What is a Watt Hour?
A watt-hour (Wh) is a unit of energy commonly used in the context of electricity consumption and production. It represents the amount of energy consumed or produced by a one-watt electrical device operating for one hour.
Mathematically, 1 watt-hour is equal to the energy used by a one-watt device over a period of one hour. It can also be expressed as: 1 Wh = 1 watt × 1 hour.
Watt-hours are used to measure the total energy usage of appliances, buildings, or entire power grids over a specific period of time. For example, if a 100-watt light bulb is turned on for 10 hours, it consumes 1,000 watt-hours or 1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity (since 1 kWh = 1,000 Wh).
Watt-hours are widely used by utility companies to measure and bill for electricity consumption by households and businesses.

37.14 Ecosystems depend on energy and material (chemical) flows. Energy supply limits the flow of food chains and number of trophic levels.
37.15 The ability of a region to support communities (measured by their biomass) depends on the amount of solar energy available to the community. The production of biomass by this energy is primary production, since the conversion of energy occurs at the first trophic level, sunlight to producers.
37.16 Energy available for primary production limits the number of links or trophic leves represent in a food chain, since each level receives about 1/10 of the energy available to the previous level. While many individuals can be supported in species at the first trophic level, very few can be supported in species at the fourth trophic level, which receives 1/100000 of the solar energy supplied to the region.
37.17 Animals (including humans) that depend on second or third trophic level species (meat) require more energy than animals that depend on first trophic level species (plants). More individuals of omnivore species can be supported as vegetarians than as carnivores.
37.18 Chemical recycling allows element atoms to be used over and over by different organisms.
37.19 The carbon cycle moves carbon from air to plant producers to animal consumers to animal, plant, and fungi decomposers though multiple pathways, depending on the complexity of the food chain supporting the consumers.
37.20 The phosphorus cycle moves phosphorus from the soil to the water supply to plants to animals to decomposers.
37.21 The nitrogen cycle is dependent on specific bacteria which break up atmospheric nitrogen and bind it to hydrogen (called "fixing nitrogen") in ammonia ion complexes, which are then absorbed by plants and animals, and returned to the soil through decomposition and wastes. This "single pathway" cycle is unique to nitrogen, which otherwise requires huge energy expenditures to pull in its diatomic state from the atmosphere.
37.22 An imbalance of nutrients in an ecosystem gives some species an advantage over the others, and the species may grow to the point where it consumes all available energy resources. This is most often seen in aquatic systems, where the oxygen supply required by all species is limited.
37.23 Humans create ecosystems by diverting natural resources to specific uses, such as agriculture and human habitation. In many cases, the disruption to the native community is followed by overconsumption of the resources, making the human ecosystem fragile as well. Sustainable practices in agriculture and habitat design attempt to create ecosystems in balance, where use does not outstrip available energy or other resources, and in many cases, recycles resources for later use.

I have found this happening too.
When I rang up Transport for London, it seems that local councils can close bus stops for their own reasons for weeks at a time without telling TfL.
If they do it the official way, then the system is supposed to instigate a temporary bus stop.
My guess is that this probably what happens when a fare freeze coincides with sudden leap in inflation.
@briantist
In my recent experience it is the exception rather than the rule for a temporary stop to be provided when a stop is closed. In some cases it is simply not practicable because there is no safe space to stop but sometimes it feels as if this necessary exemption is being, er, interpreted overgenerously to save the bother. If you are lucky, all you get is a "The next stop is closed" announcement. If you are really lucky you get that before the bus has left the previous stop.
To play devil's advocate, there must be occasions when works finish early and it must be better just to let buses serve the stop again rather than wait for someone to remove the closed marker on an information system. A right side failure, so as to speak.
It's hard to know really. I've given up using buses in London. It's easier to take the tube/DLR/train/Liz to the nearest point nearby and walk. If I'm not up to walking (and I do have a posh "step counter" Google Watch to nudge me into this) the it's just a better use of my time to take an Uber.
Every time I look at using a bus, even if it's just to come back from my local Asda, all the at-stop screens are bust so it just seems more likely that the timings at the Central Line station are going to be more accurate than the random timings of bus minutes.
This doesn't bode well for the Superloop project: without accurate information on arrivals and journey times, I can't see them working for their advertised purpose of "getting people out of their cars".
But, this is just my impression and I'm sure people who work at TfL are working hard to make the bus experience tolerable.
Yes, getting back to your point, people who want (or have) to use buses are sometimes getting a decent deal (to carry their shopping home say) by finding closed stops have been reopened. But I would again advocate that this penalizes people who check first!
That's not my experience, @briantist. Most screens work for me and if they don't (or if, like my local stop, there is no screen) I have a smartphone. Perhaps it is worse in some areas. Of course there are problems sometimes and buses missing from the screens but for me the experience is generally good. I know it is the lowest of low bars but when I think back to the '70s and 45 minute waits (with no information) on a 15 minute headway route, it is one hell of a lot better. It must also be rather disheartening if people are in effect told that the whole thing they are working on is rubbish!
On your last paragraph, how are the advance checkers penalised? If the stop did not open until the TfL website had been updated with the stop status, they would still have to walk to the alternative stop. Should a diversion not be discontinued after an accident the instant the road is clear again? I think that is putting the information system ahead of what it is supposed to support.
If you are lucky, all you get is a "The next stop is closed" announcement.
Most annoyingly, the announcement is typically:
not played until the bus is leaving the previous bus stop, therefore preventing passengers who needed to alight at the closed stop from choosing to alight at the previous stop, which would typically have got the passengers to their intended destination faster than staying on the bus and having to walk back (especially as closed bus stops generally are the result of road works that prevent buses travelling at their normal speeds
does not state the name of the closed bus stop, which is of no help to somebody who isn't familiar with the area
Trains generally handle this much more helpfully, saying specifically "Xxxxxx is closed" and doing it at least 3 stations earlier, giving passengers the chance to rething their journey. iBus urgently needs updating to allow it to do the same.

There are also occasions when work hasn't even started, but buses insist on skipping stops because some jobsworth has told them that the stop is closed, even though it very clearly isn't. | eng | 47fc0c3f-156c-4c2c-b0b2-30ab505a045c | https://techforum.tfl.gov.uk/t/bus-stop-showing-closed/3045 |
Effective User Onboarding: How to get people to actually use your product
15/02/2023 | By Willem Hoogslag
Summary points:
Don't underestimate the importance of user onboarding - it can make or break your product.
Provide clear and concise instructions on how to use the product.
Use visual aids, such as screenshots and videos, to guide users through the process.
Allow users to try out the product with a limited, but functional, set of features before asking them to sign up or make a purchase
Personalise the onboarding experience based on the user's preferences and needs.
Offer support and assistance throughout the onboarding process, including live chat, email, and phone support.
One of the most shocking statistics that most marketers are not aware of (or are actively ignoring) is that the average app will lose almost 80% of its DAUs just 3 days after installing.
Every day, companies that are excited to finally launch their product must face the grim realisation that almost no one is using it. People are interested enough to sign up and download the app, but then - at the very start - something turns them off.
When this happens, look no further than your onboarding experience for answers. In the majority of cases, the process is riddled with problems that can make it difficult for users to get started and engage with the product.
Lack of clear instructions, an overwhelming amount of information, and difficulty navigating the user interface are some of the blockers that can ultimately result in abandonment of the product altogether. By identifying and addressing these common issues, you can greatly increase your chances of product adoption.
There are a few key steps you can take to improve the user onboarding process and get more people to actually use your product.
Radical Friction Removal
User friction is any obstacle or frustration that prevents users from easily and effectively using your product. Much like a child with a new toy, even the slightest distraction or confusion can permanently turn a user off. To remove friction, make sure your interface is user-friendly by providing clear instructions and tutorials. Remember that users know nothing about your app or product, so they will need consistent hand holding throughout. You can also reduce the number of choices a user has to make by showing intelligent default settings and/or templates.
Most social media platforms do this really well. When you start using TikTok you don't need to do anything. It works instantly, and the more you view the more the algorithm learns and you start getting better and better content. But even before that happens, TikTok already knows the content that most people would enjoy, so they show you that immediately.
Personalised Preferences
Another key step is to personalise the onboarding experience. This means tailoring the onboarding process to each user's needs and preferences, based on factors like their role, experience, and goals. For example, a new user who is an experienced tech-savvy professional will likely have different needs and expectations than a first-time user who is not very familiar with technology.
Quora is a great example of a company that caters to the individual needs and preferences of its users. The questions and answers site provides users with a personalised timeline to match their preferences and also supplies interesting questions that align with those preferences. So this solves a big part of the activation churn, because people that were lost on a new platform before, are now immediately engaged with their personalised version of Quora.
Wow Moments
Good onboarding gives users immediate and uncomplicated proof that the product is suitable in solving their problem. A great way of doing this is to insert 'wow' moments into the onboarding process that get people to experience the value of the product and its features. These moments can come in many forms, such as video teasers, 3D product views, results photos, etc., which ultimately drive people to use your product.
ChatGPT delivers a wow moment before you are even inside the product. When the site is at maximum user capacity, the loading screen displays a selection of cool prompts you could try. This small feature highlights the speed and quality of the AI, which actually increases the user's desire to try it for themselves.
Calming Anxiety
During the user onboarding process, it is common for users to feel anxious or overwhelmed. This can happen when they are faced with a new product or service that they are not familiar with, and they may be unsure of how to use it or whether it will meet their needs.
It is important to address these anxieties by providing a supportive and welcoming environment that helps users feel more comfortable and engaged during the onboarding process. Starting them off with less complicated tasks and clear demonstrations of product value will help build the user's confidence. Leave any stress-inducing, difficult tasks, such as payments, choosing a plan or filling in profiles, until they've properly settled in.
With the broad range of services Mailchimp provides, it would be easy for users to feel overwhelmed and stressed by creating an email campaign. Mailchimp makes the experience as painless as possible by providing easy-to-follow prompts, set designs and templates, to get users started creating the emails themselves, before introducing the next layer of options, such as analytics and segmenting tools.
Support Systems
In addition, it's also important to provide support and assistance when needed. This could include things like live chat support, email support, or a dedicated customer support team.
Convertkit does this well. If you want to switch from another marketing platform, an expert gets in touch with a migration plan of what you can expect and a walkthrough of your account once it is set up. There is a clear path laid out for new users and expert support is a key feature of it.
Overall, user onboarding is an essential part of the user experience, and overlooking it could be the death of your product. It is not enough to create something great, you have to make it accessible, effective, and enjoyable to use as well. By following the steps outlined above, your users have a much better chance of sticking with it. | eng | 85e4a389-6b20-4f23-b7ed-01c851cc5aa2 | https://double-agency.com/blog/effective-user-onboarding/ |
Surgical Face Mask Transparent Type II MaXsmileSurgical face masks (Class I medical device) are primarily used to protect other people from being exposed to any infectious droplets exhaled by the person wearing the mask. Although these masks also provide the wearer with limited protection if they fit tightly, this is not the primary purpose of their use.
Areas of application of the transparent face mask type II
Since the beginning of the pandemic, people with hearing impairments in Switzerland have been encountering additional challenges – compulsory mask-wearing means that they can no longer lip-read, so they understand very little. The solution is transparent masks, whereby the lips remain visible.
If you're interested in finding out more, a comprehensive overview with a comparison of different mask types can be found on this page.
Why choose the transparent Type II surgical face mask?
What do I need to bear in mind when using a mask?
Surgical face masks (Class I medical device) are primarily used to protect other people from being exposed to any infectious droplets exhaled by the person wearing the mask. Although these masks also provide the wearer of the mask with limited protection if they fit tightly, this is not the primary purpose of their use.
Storage and transportation: The product should be stored and transported in the original packaging. Refer to the instructions on the back of the folding box for further storage conditions and the shelf life.
How to put on and fit the mask:
Before putting on the mask, wash or disinfect your hands
Only hold the mask by its outer edges and check for any defects
Hold the mask by its straps and place these over each ear (coloured side of the mask facing outwards)
Press down on the nose clip
Pull the mask over the chin and check that it is in place. Check that the mask fits securely
Removal and disposal of the mask
Carefully remove the mask without touching the front or inside surface:
Hold the ear straps with both hands and pull them over the ears. Hold the mask by just one of the ear straps and remove it
Dispose of the mask in a sealed container
Thoroughly wash or disinfect your hands afterwards
Testing and conformity: Medical devices are subject to the Medical Devices Directive MDD 93/42/EEC, or the Medical Devices Regulation MDR (EU) 2017/745 and the corresponding conformity assessment procedure.

Surgical face masks comply with the standard EN 14683 "Medical face masks – Requirements and test methods". The performance requirements are verified by an accredited test laboratory (and the results are documented in a test and inspection report). | eng | e91667bd-bbc3-4564-97c9-86651164c54e | https://www.flawaconsumer.com/en/masks-products/transparente-gesichtsmaske-typ-ii-maxsmile/ |
Is Your Pet Affecting the Indoor Air Quality of Your Home? Ohio
The effect that pets have on the air quality in your home will largely depend on the type of pet you have in your home.
Dogs
Primarily known as man's best friend and probably the most lovable companion you can have. Unlike many other pets, dogs require a lot of time outdoors, even if raised as indoor pets. It means that they can carry allergens with them on their coats from the outdoors into the home. These allergens include mold, pollen, and dust. These are spread into the air when the dog scratches or shakes them off.
Dogs are also a source of danger. Dander consists of dead skin cells that slough off the body of the pet over time.
Cats
These pets can be affectionate and aloof. They are a favorite amongst many for their independent personalities. Like dogs, cats spend a lot of time outdoors and can drag allergens into the home on their coats. They are also a source of pet dander, which can cause allergic reactions in people. Cat fur, urine, and saliva are also known to trigger allergies.
Rodents
These include mice, hamsters, and any other member of the rodent family. These pets produce a lot of dander. They are also known to have allergen proteins in their urine and saliva. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to rodents can lead to a higher risk of developing asthma.
Birds
Unlike dogs, rodents, and cats, birds do not have fur. They, however, do have feathers that also have allergens. Birds are also a source of pet dander and can harbor mites. Mites are small and insect-like. They are a cause of allergic reactions in many people.
If you have a pet, the indoor air quality in your home may be compromised. Your beloved pet may be the cause of your allergic reactions or heightened asthma symptoms | eng | e5310fc4-71a5-48e1-a375-c7d6d73f14ba | https://ohiostatewaterproofing.com/is-your-pet-affecting-the-indoor-air-quality-of-your-home-ohio/ |
Can Anyone Really Influence Elections?
QUESTION: Hey Marty, If the Labour (UK) and far-left Democrats (YUSA) can use fake news and outrageous lies to manipulate the outcome of elections, destroy the capital formation in Britain, why can't the Tory and the conservatives in both the UK and USA fight fire with fire and do the same to them?
SSP
ANSWER: The mainstream media is bought and paid for. We do not have truly independent news as it once existed. The media manipulated the polls in both the Brexit vote and the 2016 US election. Our computer was the only one to forecast both. The computer does not look at polls nor does it call up people. It looks only at the economic trends.
I do not believe the Russians influenced the election any more than the press manipulated the election for Hillary or blocked Brexit. The people will vote based upon their personal experience.
The right has fought back. Fox News Channel has topped cable news for the 70th consecutive quarter and remains the most-watched outlet on all of basic cable. Foxhas consistently beat CNN. I do not think you can look at polls. The fact that viewership rises for Fox and steadily declines for CNN runs counter to all the media stories supporting the Democrats, including those pushing climate change marathons now | eng | a1752027-dcac-4f05-8c28-fe0452a82a8b | https://finagg.com/2019/09/12/can-anyone-really-influence-elections/ |
If doctors feel that the grind of medicine is just going to get worse, then they won't have any stake in making major changes. You can present all the data you want but it doesn't have a chance when stacked up against emotion and experience. More
A young, healthy patient called me recently requesting a CT scan of his head because of his headaches. He described his symptoms, and they sounded to me like migraines. His clinical picture was not suggestive of a brain tumor and I told him so, but he was persistent. "What if I'm the one 35-year-old who drops dead of a brain tumor while you try to figure out what's wrong?" he asked. More
Status quo is a powerful determinant of both belief and behavior.

APA Format Quick Reference
Properly formatted APA citations include two main elements: the reference list entry and the in-text citation. Below you will find sample citations for a variety of commonly-used reference types. For additional questions, consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (7th ed.)[1]
Reference List
The reference list is found at the end of your document, and it includes all of the sources used when developing your paper or project. References are listed in alphabetical order by the author's last name, and each reference will have a hanging indent to make it easier to visually distinguish between each reference.
No Author
If there is no author, the title moves into the place of the author. The reference should then be alphabetized by the first word in the title within the reference list. If the first word is an article ("a," "an," or "the"), alphabetize according to the second word. If the first word is a number, alphabetize according to the spelling of the number. (For example, if the first word is "665," you would alphabetize it as if it were "six-hundred and sixty-five."
Example
Down the Line. (1895). In The Olio: An Annual (pp. 54-58). The Corps of Cadets of the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas.
Single Author
In APA style, when there is a single author, you should list them with the last name first, followed by the first and (if available) middle initial.
When there are more than twenty authors, list the first nineteen authors, then add an ellipsis (…) and the last author's name. The ellipsis (…) will take the place of author names between author number nineteen and the final author. Be sure to keep the authors in the order in which they appear on the source.
Books list the author, followed by the year, and then the title in italics. The title is in , which means that you only capitalize the first word, any proper nouns or adjectives, and the first word after a colon or period. APA also includes the publisher name. If the book is accessed electronically, also include the . Figure 12.1[2] illustrates the components of a book citation in APA format.
Example
Figure 12.1: Book Citation in APA 7 Style
Article from a Database
Articles from online databases like Google Scholar or EBSCO include the author names, year of publication, and article title in sentence case. For the journal title, follow the capitalization provided by the journal itself. The journal title and the volume number are in italics. The issue is in parentheses, followed by the page range.
To help the reader access the article, always include the doi (permanent url) if one is available. It is generally listed near the top of the article. It may appear as doi: or followed by a sequence of numbers and/or letters. The doi number typically starts with the number 10, as in the example below. If there is a doi available, include it in your citation using the format doi number]. Figure 12.2[3] illustrates the components of a journal article citation in APA format.
Example
Figure 12.2: Journal Article Citation in APA 7 Style
Newspaper Article
If a newspaper article is found in a database such as Newspaper Source or Access World News, do not include the database name or URL. If the article is found through the open web, include the URL.
If an article is from an online newspaper (for example, Washington Post, New York Times, Wall Street Journal), italicize the name of the newspaper. If the article is from an online news website (e.g. BBC News, CNN, Reuters), italicize the name of the article and not the site.
Example from an online newspaper
Boren, C. (2018, November 25). It took seven overtimes for Texas A&M to beat LSU in the craziest college football game of the year. Washington Post. 2018/11/25/it-took-seven-overtimes-texas-am-beat-lsu-craziest-college-football-game-year/
Example from an online news website
Holcombe, M. (2019, July 18). Texas A&M's new program opens the door to college education for students with disabilities. CNN. disabilities/index.html
In APA format, an unpublished interview is not included in the reference list. This is because the interview is not available for the reader to view. Instead, interviews are cited only in-text.
Lecture
In APA format, if you are citing your professor's lecture slides or content, you should point the reader to a digital copy of that content if possible. If housed in a course management system, direct the reader to the login page for that system.
In-Text Citations
APA in-text citations use the last name(s) of the author(s), followed by a comma and the year of publication. If using a direct quotation, also include the page number where that quotation can be found. The abbreviation "p." precedes any page numbers. These items are all separated by commas.
In APA format, you can also embed the in-text quotation directly into your sentence (for example, Smith (2001) found that…), which then obviates the need for a parenthetical at the end of the sentence, except in the case of a direct quotation.
No Author
As with the reference list, the in-text citation will use the title if there is no author available. Use the first few words of the title if it is long, and place it in quotation marks.
Example
("Down the Line," 1895).
Single Author
If the work has a single author, use the author's last name, followed by a comma and the year of publication.
Example (no direct quotation)
(Clark, 2009)
Example (direct quotation)
(Clark, 2009, p. 42)
Two Authors
When there are two authors, list the last names of both connected by an ampersand (&). Be sure to keep the authors in the order in which they appear on the source.
Example
(Rutledge & LeMire, 2016).
Three or More Authors
When there are three or more authors, list the first author's last name, followed by et al. This is a Latin phrase meaning "and others" and used in some citation formats as a way to abbreviate a list of names. Notice that the switch to "et al." occurs after three authors when using in-text citations. In your References list, you will include up to twenty authors.
Example
(Tribble et al., 2002).
Institutional Author
As with the reference list, you'll list the organization as the author in the in-text citation. | eng | c7ac19db-c43a-4446-9b83-d5def0c46288 | https://pressbooks.library.tamu.edu/howdyorhello/chapter/apa-format-quick-reference/ |

national TV news reporters kept pushing the miraculous miracles of the tornado survivors in god's plan. What about the bastard's plan to destroy a town and kill many of the residents? I nearly blew a gasket when I watched the interviews.
11 comments
Yeah. I've learned to stay entirely away from MSM when I'm interested in a specific story such as the tragedy in Rolling Fork, MS.
I watched that tornado live via storm chasers' live feeds on a YouTube weather channel I like. It wasn't expected to be a noteworthy system. And all of a sudden, it was just insane. It was so scary watching it in real time.
All that aside, the storm chasers were actually the "first responders" and no one was invoking religion. They never do. Maybe that's why I watch those younger people's channels. Much much much less and most often, no religion-speak, never ever "thoughts and prayers."
(Even my news sources have all ended up non-religious or outed Atheists. I didn't seek them out, just slowly found them over the years.)
Reminds me of the wisecrack by Hannibal Lecter in the movie The Silence Of The Lambs, where he mentions to Clairice Starling that God so loved his followers at a Texas church, that he sent a tornado there that wiped out the church and killed them all...
I live in the south coming from NH and the religious are super devoted to gods will (whatever that is) and people who survive a disaster are blessed and hand picked by god to serve him in some fashion and that's what they say "god let me survive to 'do something' and they never do whatever that something is.
Here's an example of what religious people use when they survive and no one else does. [bibleinoneyear.org]
You do realise that all the people who die in natural disasters are evil, while all the ones saved are good? It's the same with school shootings where evil children are killed - no one is killed without God's permission. And the shooters are all apostles who will be rewarded with heaven. Terrorists are in that category too: they can't do wrong when they're killing for God because he decides who lives and who dies, so they can just shoot whoever they please in the sure faith that God wants them to do whatever they do. It makes all your decisions easy when you can just outsource everything to God while expressing such extreme faith that you guarantee your place at the highest table in heaven with Jesus, Muhammad and co.
My personal favorite is still the clip from several years ago, when Wolf Blitzer asked a tornado victim if she thanked god for her survival.
She told him that she didn't believe in god.
I wish more people would understand that no god is responsible for the weather.
How can you have order in a state without religion? For, when one man is dying of hunger near another who is ill of surfeit [excess], he cannot resign himself to this difference unless there is an authority which declares, "God wills it thus." Religion is excellent stuff for keeping common people quiet. - Napoleon Bonaparte, quoted from Anne Nicole Gaylor, "What's Wrong With the Ten Commandments?"
Religion is what keeps the poor from murdering the rich. - Napoleon Bonaparte, quoted from Robert Byrne, 1,911 Best Things Anybody Ever Said (1988)
Religion keeps the poor in line, often by conning them into accepting injustice against them in this world, by believing they will eventually get their share and have justice in the afterlife. All pie in the sky, etc...
The concept of a god who cherry picks people to zap whenever he/it feels like it escapes the faithful, as does the concept of guns=dead children. It makes me want to be a total hermit in order to avoid people like that. They're everywhere.

Is There A Link Between Gluten And Psoriasis?
Over recent years, there has been a growing interest in gluten-free diets for improving psoriasis symptoms. According to a 2017 study, 36 percent of people with psoriasis followed a gluten-free diet to help with their symptoms. Among those who avoided gluten, 53 percent reported improvements in their symptoms.
This has intrigued researchers to investigate the relationship between psoriasis and gluten. In this article, we'll examine this connection alongside the potential benefits and downsides.
Does Gluten Trigger Psoriasis?
Most research suggests that gluten could worsen psoriasis symptoms in people with a high level of anti-gliadin antibodies (AGA). This is a sign of gluten sensitivity.
Furthermore, psoriasis patients are 2.16 times more likely to suffer from celiac disease. This is a condition where gluten damages the villi of the intestine. A study also discovered that 14 percent of individuals with psoriasis had high levels of AGA compared with only 5 percent of the general population.
Benefits And Downsides To Following A Gluten-Free Diet?
The only people required to follow a gluten-free diet are those with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease. In certain cases, people with autoimmune conditions could have an increased risk of developing any of these conditions.
Though the public perception of gluten has worsened in recent years, the claims backing gluten-free diets aren't backed by scientific research. In reality, there are multiple downsides to removing gluten from your diet. These include nutrient deficiencies, increased costs, negative social experiences, and difficulty purchasing and preparing foods.
A gluten-free diet is difficult to follow as gluten can be found in multiple foods, beverages, and over-the-counter products. As such, there is no need to stick to such a strict routine unless you have no other choice.
Conclusion
Research suggests that gluten could worsen psoriasis symptoms in people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. By following a gluten-free diet, you could improve these symptoms.
However, gluten does not cause psoriasis, and sticking to a gluten-free diet won't improve your symptoms if you don't suffer from gluten sensitivity.
If you suspect that you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, talk to a qualified healthcare provider. They can recommend a gluten-free diet and provide support as you transition to your new eating style | eng | fd13c784-ac8c-430a-9163-773d4321da70 | https://health-and-wellness.net/is-there-a-link-between-gluten-and-psoriasis/ |
If you're a dog owner, you may have come across a number of strange behaviors in your pooch. Some of them are harmless, while others seem totally out of character. Mid-poop walks are an example. If your dog walks while passing stool, it's a sign that it's in a territorial mood. Here are some possible causes for this problem. Read on to learn how to solve this problem and prevent your pooch from having accidents everywhere!
One common cause of this behavior is an age-related problem. Older dogs often lose control of their bowel movements and poop in several spots. They may have a physical ailment or separation anxiety. They may also be scared of loud noises or a sudden shock, and this may cause them to poop in multiple spots. However, if your pooch does not appear to be experiencing any of these problems, you may want to contact your veterinarian for further testing.
Other causes include arthritis and pain. In some cases, this behavior is caused by physical problems, such as joint and muscle changes. In such cases, it may be necessary to see a veterinarian, who will prescribe a treatment to address the root cause of the problem. Treatment may also help you relieve your pooch of the distress it causes when nature calls. But before any treatment, you should observe your dog and observe any changes that occur in his behavior.
While dogs usually poop once or twice a day, others may need to go twice or even three times. In either case, if your pooch has the habit of pooping in several spots in a day, don't panic. Dogs usually have a healthy poop, and if the frequency changes suddenly, it is likely that your pooch is experiencing digestive problems.
Other common causes of frequent accidents include a health issue or emotional problems. If your pooch is house-trained, frequent accidents should be ruled out as the cause. In addition to health problems, it is important to note that dogs have complex, individual personalities, and unusual habits. Despite these differences, a dog may be experiencing a variety of physical and emotional problems. In such cases, you should seek a veterinarian's help immediately.
Puppy stool often contains mucus, which keeps the colon lining lubricated. If your pooch is prone to excessive mucus, however, it may be indicative of a more serious health problem. If mucus is too thick and difficult to pass, your dog may be experiencing colitis or another digestive disorder. In addition, mucus can be present in the stool of a dog with an inflammatory disorder. Excess blood can indicate a systemic disease such as diabetes, liver failure, or kidney problems.
While there are no definitive reasons why your dog may be pooping in multiple places, the most common reason is instinct. Dogs may be trying to mark their territory or cover their scent from another animal. There may also be a logical explanation for your dog's behavior. Some breeds have preferred spots, while others walk around in circles in search of a better location. It's important to understand why your pet does this behavior.
Why won't my dog poop in a new place?
Changes and Stress When something changes in the household, this can also lead to stress for your dog. Moving to a new place, someone new moving in, changing up your dog's schedule, and even making a change in your dog's diet can all cause anxiety and stress. This kind of stress can also lead to pooping problems.J
Why do dogs circle before they poop or pee?
Many dogs will circle trying to get into the correct position when peeing and pooping. Circling also helps increase GI motility and makes it easier for them to poop. I find that smaller dogs tend to circle more right before peeing and pooping to help them be able to poop or pee easier.A
Why is my dog so particular about where she poops?
According to a 2013 paper published in Frontiers in Zoology, it may be that dogs attempt to align themselves with Earth's magnetic field before pooping. Specifically, they seem prefer to defecate along the North-South axis if the magnetic field is stable.M
How do I get my dog to poop in a new house?
Get into a schedule of letting your dog out, or going for a walk, after meals and first thing in the morning and last thing at night. This schedule not only minimizes the length of time that your dog is left indoors without the opportunity to poop, but it coincides with times when they are most likely to want to go.A
How do I make my dog poop in one place?
One of the easiest ways to train a dog to go only in one spot is to train it to go on command. Take your dog on a leash to the spot you want it to use, and say the cue word. Keep the dog in that spot until it goes, then offer a reward. Only reward the dog when it goes in that particular spot.J | eng | ee96bc6b-b40e-4bfd-af5c-ac85d92cfd7f | https://allanimalsguide.com/why-does-my-dog-poop-in-multiple-spots/ |
How Starlink is Changing Internet Connectivity in Bhubaneshwar
Starlink, the satellite internet service provider, has been making waves in the world of internet connectivity since its launch in 2018. The company, founded by Elon Musk, aims to provide high-speed internet to areas that are currently underserved by traditional internet service providers. And now, Starlink has arrived in Bhubaneshwar, the capital city of the Indian state of Odisha.
Bhubaneshwar, like many other cities in India, has struggled with poor internet connectivity for years. Despite the government's efforts to improve the situation, many areas in the city still suffer from slow and unreliable internet speeds. This has had a significant impact on businesses, schools, and individuals who rely on the internet for work, education, and entertainment.
But with the arrival of Starlink, things are starting to change. The company's satellite internet service promises to deliver high-speed internet to even the most remote areas of the city. And early reports suggest that it's living up to its promise.
One of the biggest advantages of Starlink is its low latency. Traditional satellite internet services suffer from high latency, which can make activities like video conferencing and online gaming nearly impossible. But Starlink's low latency means that these activities are now feasible, even in areas where traditional internet service providers have failed to deliver.
Another advantage of Starlink is its ease of installation. Unlike traditional internet services, which require extensive infrastructure and wiring, Starlink can be set up in a matter of minutes. All that's required is a clear view of the sky and a small satellite dish.
Of course, there are some downsides to Starlink as well. The service is still relatively expensive, with a monthly subscription fee that's higher than what many people in Bhubaneshwar are used to paying for internet. And while the service promises high speeds, it's still not clear how well it will perform during peak usage times.
Despite these concerns, however, many people in Bhubaneshwar are excited about the arrival of Starlink. For businesses, the service could be a game-changer, allowing them to compete on a level playing field with companies in other parts of the country. And for individuals, it could mean access to educational resources, entertainment, and social connections that were previously out of reach.
Of course, Starlink is not the only company working to improve internet connectivity in Bhubaneshwar. The government has launched several initiatives aimed at expanding broadband access in the city, and traditional internet service providers are also working to improve their services. But Starlink's arrival is a sign that the city's internet landscape is changing, and that new options are becoming available to those who need them.
In the end, the success of Starlink in Bhubaneshwar will depend on a variety of factors, including the company's ability to deliver on its promises, the willingness of consumers to pay for the service, and the competition from other internet service providers. But for now, the arrival of Starlink is a positive development for a city that has long struggled with poor internet connectivity. And it's a sign that the future of internet access in Bhubaneshwar is looking brighter than ever. | eng | 7a5b9f05-3784-4069-a653-c932bf1d4159 | https://xaralite.com/2023/10/06/how-starlink-is-changing-internet-connectivity-in-bhubaneshwar/ |
The only thing you do know is that one of the game's scenarios will eventually begin, dictated by the rooms and items you've drawn. This dungeon-crawling epic taps into all that with branching storylines more commonly seen in the best tabletop RPGs, and it makes skilful use of 'Legacy' mechanics where the consequences of your actions carry across from one session to the next.
You want a complex strategy game: Although this game has more than enough strategic back and forth, it's not the crunchiest tactical experience on offer. You want something simple: Despite being a lot more accessible than standard Gloomhaven (it was pitched as an easier way into the game), Jaws of the Lion is still a lot denser than a lot of board games. There is a lot going on here, but the deck building aspects of the game really drive the collection aspects.It's half card game, half dodgeball, except that instead of balls you have to dodge adorable plushy burritos. The original version allows for up to four players, but the expansion pack that we have increases the number of players to six.

This is the result of multiple playtests with a variety of players, not to mention extensive hands-on time with the product in general - if we haven't played it half to death and don't love it, it's not getting in. Player elimination games, on the other hand, are filled with conflict and competition, with the aim being to win or eliminate other players from the game.
The answer to this sort of question comes down to personal preference, but we'd say board games like Gloomhaven (which often feature customizable characters or branching storylines that react to your choices) would come up trumps. As each card is flipped, you check to see if you have any state cards in your hand that match what is stated on the | eng | 15db32d5-03d6-47b7-89d8-9fcc13a57eb3 | https://briscathchap.org.uk/us4/collection+of+board+games |
A More Natural Approach to Everyday Products
Harmful substances have made their way into our surroundings and do not appear to be going anywhere. Some people buy unsafeproducts without realizing they could be hazardous. Regrettably, toxic materials can affect our environment, health, and longevity.
Fortunately, there are measures we can take to reduce the risks. Here are some thoughts.
Read food labels. Foods that are highly processed may contain artificial additives and other undesirable ingredients. At the same time, products deemed all natural could be made with genetically modified soybean, corn, or canola oil (at this time, GMO labeling is not required). Naturally, we have to eat to stay healthy; therefore, it is wise to buy organic whenever possible. Organic foods are generally more expensive, which sometimes limits their appeal. Still, they are often made without the use of pesticides, antibiotics, artificial sweeteners, MSG, fertilizers, and genetic modification. The body is a high-performance machine; when we give it the right fuel, it performs at its best. On the other hand, when unnatural or inferior ingredients are mixed in, its performance and longevity become compromised.
Install a water filter. If you have concerns about your drinking water, it is always best to have it tested: clean water is important to health. Tap water, and even some brands of bottled water, can contain unsafe microorganisms and chemicals. If these elements present in only trace amounts, everything might be okay. However, in some situations, the numbers are alarming. Water filters make sense because they remove many impurities. Models vary in price and quality, so it is best to research the options to find the one that's right for you.
Choose natural toiletries, soaps, dish cleaners, dryer sheets, laundry detergent, paper products, shampoos, cosmetics, etc. A number of products we regularly choose are tainted with chemicals. Yet, marketing ploys package them as the best we can buy. Disregard the hype and look for brands devoid of questionable ingredients. A quick Internet search can point you to goods that do not use parabens and other potentially hazardous elements. A reason to avoid harmful substances? Certain individuals suffer allergic reactions, and some of these reactions can be serious. Another reason? A study with forty women who had breast cancer was conducted; they had previously undergone mastectomies, and their breast tissue was analyzed. Almost every participant in the study (99%) had at least one paraben present in their tissue. Many experts believe parabens could be cancer causing, so this finding is significant.
Use healthy cookware. Non-stick cookware is extremely convenient. Yet, when used at high temperatures, harmful chemicals can be released (some non-stick brands are now safer than before). True, non-stick pots and pans may be handy if we wish to save time, but they are generally not the best choice. Which cooking materials are preferred? Ceramic and glass.
It is impractical to believe we can avoid all hazards, but common sense changes minimize the dangers.
Chiropractic care has traditionally emphasized a natural approach to well-being. Correcting imbalances safely (i. e., without the use of harmful chemicals) and stressing healthy living practices are fundamental principles to this effective treatment. Actually, chiropractic care is an invaluable therapy because it helps to keep the body functioning at its best! | eng | 9fbe6373-6e02-40a1-bebe-f91649b239fd | https://hhchiro.com/blog/natural-approach-everyday-products |

Conjuring the Dead: J. Harvey Mott and Spiritualism in Kansas City
Share this:
Like this:
There's always been a fascination with ghosts and the dead. What happens to someone after life has captivated people for centuries.
Spiritualism emerged in the 19th century predominantly among the middle and upper class and centered on the belief that the dead could communicate with the living. The most common image depicted in movies and in some practice today is the séance conducted in the dark, candles lit, and hands held around a table.
Spiritualist practices were often more complicated than that, and the emergence of the medium who could communicate with the dead was the rage during the Victorian era.
Were these mediums frauds – magicians of their day? Or, were these men and women actually able to manifest the spirits of those who passed?
One man – a medium who came from northeast Missouri became famous nationwide for his alleged ability to materialize the ghosts of those who passed in front of a small room of spectators. And when he arrived in Kansas City, there were skeptical people ready to expose him as a fraud.
John Harvey Mott's Early Life and Introduction to Spiritualism
John Harvey Mott, known by friends as Harve, was born in 1847 in Illinois to Elias P. Mott (1812-1893) and Susan Maxton (1812-1903). The fifth born of eight children, Harve's father was a well-respected blacksmith and his mother was a very involved member of the Methodist Episcopal church.
In 1859, the family decided to move further west and settled near Boonville, Mo, and by 1863, the family had relocated to Memphis, Mo.
When the Civil War broke out, Harve, three of his brothers and his father all joined the Union army while his mother and his sisters looked after the home. Harve served as a private in Company A of the 5th Missouri Calvary.
Harve's older sister, Rachel, married a well-known businessman of Memphis named Horace Goodwin Pitkin (1830-1895). Pitkin ran a three-story dry goods and grocery store in Memphis and served on the board of a local bank.
Harve's sister would later tell people that after the Civil War, Harve could feel himself going under the influence of spirits, and he was terrified. Albert Pitkin, a stepson of Harve's sister, later said, "Harve fought with all his strength against the spirits, but they took control of him and made him do their bidding." He recalled how on one occasion, Harve, a man with no musical talents, sat down and played the piano with no effort when a spirit took control of him.
Harve was introduced to Spiritualism by his brother-in-law, Horace Pitkin.
In 1866, Harve married Mary Knox (b. 1845) and began farming. Even though he was a deacon in the Methodist church, he continued to investigate Spiritualism, and it was said that his older brother, Loami, also was able to communicate with the dead.
When Harve was invited to a séance at his brother-in-law's house, it was said he went "into a trance and thereupon started upon his career as a medium."
The Pilgrimage to Memphis, Mo.
By 1874, John Harvey Mott, or "Medium Mott" as he was often referred, had developed a large reputation as a materializing medium. Standing 5'8" tall with no facial hair, deep blue eyes that were "a trifle cross-eyed," Medium Mott was a sensation. He started offering seances at Pitkin's house free of charge. But, his popularity and long lines to get in, naturally, led to an entrance fee.
While many Spiritualist seances centered around tables conjuring spirits, the emergence of materializing mediums changed the game. Instead of lifting tables, mediums who could allegedly bring spirits forth in front of people became the rage.
Starting with the Davenport brothers in the mid-1850s, these mediums would build "cabinets" that would act as a place to trap spirits. These cabinets would separate the medium from the people "sitting" who hoped to hear from long lost relatives and friends and allow the medium privacy while conjuring spirits. The medium was often bound to a chair within the cabinet as unexplained phenomena surrounded them.
J. Harvey Mott was a materializing medium and utilized a cabinet for his manifestations. While Medium Mott sat inside a large cabinet that he called a "spirit room," his wife, Mary would announce which paying visitor should step forward to the cabinet for a message.
Medium Mott sat in a rocking chair, oftentimes bound, inside the spirit room off to the side. A small opening in the cabinet would be where faces of the dead would appear. Voices of the spirits were never louder than a whisper, "but different voices" would "come and go like dissolving views."
The room in the Mott home was not completely dark, but lamps would be turned down in the room "like the twilight of an autumn day."
Medium Mott's abilities attracted people from all over the country, and his humble cottage just south of the depot in Memphis on a hill became a pilgrimage for both Spiritualists and skeptics. The area where Mott's house was became known as "Spirit Hill."
Personal experiences of the phenomena conjured by Medium Mott ended up in the newspapers nationwide. In one account in November 1874, a Macon, Mo. man named Isaac Kelso claimed he, along with "an educated man from Kirksville" and three women from Canton, Ill. witnessed paranormal activity.
Fittingly, the séance occurred during a thunderstorm with "muttering thunder and vivid lightening." As Kelso approached the cabinet where a curtain concealed its hole, he witnessed a face appear in front of him. The face, "decidedly human," was described as a man, dressed in black with short, dark hair and a long beard.
The man from Kirksville recognized him as a man who died years earlier; he held a conversation with him for several minutes.
The man disappeared into thin air and was replaced by a man with facial hair and glasses. One of the women from Canton sprung up to her feet; it was her father. She came forward, and Kelso wrote, "There she talked and wept for several minutes. It was truly touching." Her father lost his life years earlier in St. Louis, and he told her he was murdered for his money.
Kelso also was quite impressed with Medium Mott's three-year-old daughter, Effie. She was able to write on a piece of slate a note to Kelso from his dead sisters. Every word was correctly spelled by Effie. "The child. . . has not yet been taught the alphabet," Kelso commented.
On another occasion, a woman from St. Louis went to a store and purchased two slates and a pencil, hellbent on exposing three-year-old Effie Mott as a fraud. A small piece of the pencil was placed in between the two slates and then screwed together.
While the slate was in her hands, Effie put her hands on top of it "and immediately they heard the movement of the pencil writing." The screws were removed, and both slates had writing on them – one directed to the woman from her deceased husband.
Unfortunately, Effie died In 1876 after an illness of two weeks. In a short obituary in the Memphis Reveille, they commented, "She was an unusually bright little child."
Exposing Medium Mott
In 1878, the New Orleans Times wrote that Memphis, Mo. had become a "Mecca" where people would flock to see Medium Mott. The railway in the town was said to collect an income of $3,000 annually just from travel associated with the paranormal activity, and the medium was making about $20 a day.
The Cairo Bulletin wrote, "The gullible people are strangers and many hundreds of these visit Memphis, pay their dollar per séance and are deceived to their heart's content. . . Mott is a failure as a medium but not as a moneymaker."
Clearly, not everyone was a believer. For every criticism written about Mott, there was a Spiritualist believer who would write a raving review of their experiences.
In May 1878, one man named James H. Pattee traveled from Monmouth, Ill. to Spirit Hill with a group of three other men. Although some of his friends were believers, 33-year-old Pattee was not and sought to expose Medium Mott as a fraud.
"I procured a hollow ring with a small hole in front and at tube on one side which was placed in a hollow rubber ball," Pattee explained. He filled the ball with aniline, a red dye.
At dusk, the men gathered in front of the spirit room, accompanied by Medium Mott's wife and Mott's brother-in-law, Mr. Pitkin. When Pattee was called to the cabinet, the curtains parted, and a spirit was awaiting him. Pattee recognized Medium Mott's features in the manifestation.
When the curtains parted, Pattee released a stream of aniline into the spirit's face. Within seconds, the curtain closed.
Pattee casually took his seat, and a hissing sound came from the spirit room. Mary Mott entered the room, and after a brief commotion, she said urgently, "Mr. Pitkin, you are wanted."
When Pitkin peeked into the cabinet, he found Medium Mott in his rocking chair with red dye on part of his face. It was announced that the event "destroyed the conditions."
Pattee, along with his friends, entered the cabinet and found Medium Mott had liquid resembling blood on his chin, cheeks and neck.
Medium Mott denied the stains appeared where it was suggested; he said only one side of his face was stained since he was, according to him, sitting in the rocking chair well off to the side of the cabinet's opening.
Mott's father, Elias, was no Spiritualist and said, "If a gun were placed with its muzzle at the cabinet aperture and fired into the spirit's face it is his opinion that materializations would cease forever, so far as Harvey has anything to do with them."
Kansas City Star Headline, Nov. 28, 1884.
Going to Kansas City
In the summer of 1884, John Harvey Mott and his wife, Mary, relocated to a neat brick home at 822 E. 15thSt. in Kansas City.
Metropolitan areas across the nation like Kansas City were havens for Spiritualists. Well-respected citizens such as Dr. Joshua Thorne and newspaperman/civic leader Robert Van Horn (1824-1916) were self-proclaimed Spiritualists who often attended seances at some of Kansas City's finest residences.
"It is not generally known that there are in Kansas City people who pretend that they can bring the souls of the departed back to earth, but such is the case," the Kansas City Star wrote. "But there are respected men in Kansas City who believe this, and who spend much time in conversing with what they believe to be the friends of other times."
A reporter visited Medium Mott's new location in Kansas City, and although he remained a skeptic, he said there were many things that he couldn't explain that happened during his time there.
Medium Mott manifested a large following of believers in Kansas City, and his nightly seances drew swarms of people to his gate in a short amount of time. With this following came scores of stories of the medium's talents.
Of course, just as was true in Memphis, there were also skeptics ready to prove the medium to be a fraud.
John B. Lawrence, editor of the Kansas City Journal, decided he would be the one to expose Medium Mott to his readers.
On March 25, 1885, J.B. Lawrence entered Mott's residence to attend a pre-planned séance. The plan also included Captain Ditsch of the police department who had a warrant charging J. Harvey Mott with "obtaining money under false pretenses."
In midst of the séance, Lawrence approached the cabinet opening so he could communicate with a dead relative as the police waited quietly outside.
Taking from the playbook seven years earlier, J.B. Lawrence hid a syringe filled with aniline in his jacket. When the spirit appeared in the opening of the cabinet, he squirted the dye into the spirit's face.
The face disappeared, and seconds later, the police busted into the room and broke open the cabinet as Mrs. Mott yelled that her husband couldn't be disturbed while in a trance because it would kill him.
A drawing in the Kansas City Times indicated the layout of the cabinet, or "spirit room" that Mott used in his seances.
The officers found J. Harvey Mott inside the cabinet sitting in his rocking chair, his nose and mouth covered with the aniline. He was unconscious as officers examined the cabinet. They found that in the one-foot square space where the opening was, there was a false wall behind it.
Mott was arrested. After paying a $200 bond, he was released.
Interestingly, Robert Van Horn, a Spiritualist, was still a director of the Kansas City Journal –and J.B. Lawrence was acting editor. Lawrence openly called Mott a fraud in the newspaper.
Van Horn likely didn't agree with him. In December 1884, Van Horn wrote a 12-page paper in the Kansas City Review of Science called "A Plea for the Occult."
He proclaimed in the pages, "If spirit does take on matter, as we see from our birth and growth, it must {have] had being before it did so. And if it had being before it manifested through matter, it cannot cease to be when the matter is worn out or destroyed as to that use. You may say this is not proved, but so we have said about great many things that have been proved."
. Harvey Mott's arrest warrant was executed on March 25, 1885 and led to one of the most unusual cases in Jackson County Court's history.
The Trial of Medium Mott
J. Harvey Mott's career in Kansas City ended in a trial that in 1885 was described as "probably without exception the most extraordinary case in the history of the jurisprudence of this country and many of the legal questions brought up have never before been passed upon by any court."
Despite the accusations that Mott was "obtaining money under false pretenses," Kansas Citians came to his defense. Samuel and Sally Ely along with John W. Dixon wrote a letter to the editor of the Times stating that "Mr. and Mrs. Mott are honest, worthy citizens, who are giving their lives to prove that our spirit friends can and do return to us. . . We know that Mr. Mott is an excellent materializing medium, and we believe he never has a single time deceived us."
At the seances they had attended, they claimed to be visited by their parents, brothers, sisters and other relatives and friends that recalled events only the family would know.
The trial of Mott ended in April 1885; people had testified on Medium Mott's behalf stating they saw spirits. But, the judge saw things a bit differently.
The court's decision included that there was no doubt that J. Harvey Mott was a fraud "and that the supernatural powers claimed by him are false and fraudulent. The court is not willing to believe that the spirits of the loved ones who have 'crossed over the river' can be recalled to the earth in a materialized form by Mott or any other human being."
However, it was ordered that Mott didn't defraud or deceive anyone because "people went out of their own free will, and not on any solicitation by the defendant." He was found not guilty.
A lawyer with a leading law firm said it best. "You can't conspire with a man to rob you and then sue him for it. This is the whole case in a nutshell."
Just one year before the trial, the newspapers had called Mott "one of the most remarkable materializing mediums of the age."
In February 1886, J. Harvey Mott and his wife, Mary, packed their bags and moved to California, leaving the questions so many had of his mediumship unanswered.
Headline from the Kansas City Times, March 26, 1885
Spiritualism and Manifesting Mediums
Just two months after moving to Santa Ana, Calif., Mary V. Mott died at 41 years old after a long illness. He had purchased a small ranch outside of Los Angeles and was planning to live out his life in peace; however, his wife's death thwarted the plans.
Three years later, he remarried, and in April 1889, Kansas City took notice when Medium Mott showed back up in the city.
"I have returned to Kansas City with the intention of making it my home. Although I have been harshly criticized here, still I have many warm friends among whom I know I will be welcome," the newspaper reported.
He took up residence in the Schutte Building, and before long, Medium Mott couldn't conjure up the energy to fight off his own illnesses. He died in March 1890 at the age of 43.
J. Harvey Mott's last words were, "I'm going, but it's alright. There is nothing before me. I see my way clear. I have no confession to make. I am going to the loved ones over there."
He had only about $1,000 left in his estate. His sister, Anna, inherited his famous rocking chair he used for his seances.
A few years after Medium Mott's death, Robert Van Horn recognized Medium Mott and his wife, Mary at one of the many seances he attended.
Robert T. Van Horn (1824-1916) was an early supporter of Spiritualism in Kansas City.
By the early 20th century, materialization seances declined in their popularity due to so many exposures of fraudulent activity, but some mediums remained active, writing extensively of the power of their abilities.
William W. Aber (1861-1940), declared a "powerful medium," once ran the First Church of the Soul at his residence at 2730 Holmes. He claimed in a book called "The Dawn of Another Life" written in 1910, that his old acquaintance, J. Harvey Mott, came through in a séance.
He wrote, "The materializing medium is the only one who is the instrument through whom you can see the spirits face to face. . . I say God bless all the pure mediums, whoever they are, and you as Spiritualists, try to remember that the way to keep your mediums pure is not to demand too much of them. We will do all we can for you all on this side."
J. Harvey Mott and other manifesting mediums appeared to some to have powers past scientific explanation. Medium Mott's ability to capture some nonbelievers and entrance the large community of Spiritualists in Kansas City is an alluring thought even 138 years later. | eng | 4a971379-94b2-49c4-ac98-c44a41304933 | https://martincitytelegraph.com/2023/10/31/conjuring-the-dead-j-harvey-mott-and-spiritualism-in-kansas-city/ |

Small sheet of pink paper, card or foam (for inside the ears, nose and feet)
Small piece of white paper (for the teeth)
Instructions:
Cut 4 x strips of paper into lengths of approx. 30cm x 3cm in width
Now fold these in half (as shown below)
Now take one of the strips and apply a dab of glue in the middle where you have made your crease. Next, place a second strip of paper across this (to make a cross shape) and press the strips together so the glue sticks
Now apply another dab of glue to the top crease and add a third strip of paper (again crossing this in the centre as below). Push the strips together to help them stick
Again, apply glue to the centre point and fix in place your final strip of paper so that you have a snowflake shape
Your strips should now resemble the image below
Take the bottom strip of paper (the first one you placed down), and bend it over to meet the strip opposite. Now tape or glue these together to form a ring shape (as below)
Apply some glue to the centre of the ring and take the next strip you laid down from the bottom and loop this over and fix it to the top of the ring you have created (see below)
Continue this process until all the paper strips are glued together and you are left with a paper ball similar to the one below
Turn the paper ball over
Next, take your orange paper and fold this in half. Cut out a small triangle shape (approx. 3cm in length) and open this out so it forms a diamond shape. This will be your chick's beak
Glue the back of the orange paper and fix this to one of the strips of yellow paper (approximately half way down the strip)
Now attach the googly or sticky eyes to the paper strips on either side, and just above the beak
Using your orange paper again, cut out a heart shape (approx. 7cm in width at its widest point). Glue this to the bottom of your chick. These will be the feet and will help steady your chick so it can stand up
Now glue some yellow or orange feathers to the back of your chick for the tail feathers
Now glue the folded area and stick the wings to either side of your chick
There you have it! A quick and easy Easter craft!
To make an Easter bunny:
To make the Easter bunny, you need to follow the steps used to create the body for the Easter chick as your first stage. You then need to create a smaller paper ball for the head. We used strips of paper that were approx. 21cm in length and a similar width to the strips used for the body
You will need to cut ears from the same paper you chose for your bunny's body. Ours measured approx. 8cm and we glued these to our bunny's head by folding a small flap over the straight side of each ear and applying glue to this
We also used pink foam for inside the ears, the bunny's feet and his nose but you can use pink felt, crepe or tissue paper
You can cut thin strips of black paper and glue these behind your bunny's nose if you want to give him whiskers. This paper can be curled before being attached
Tip:
Due to the additional weight of the head and ears, your finished Easter bunny will not be as stable as the Easter chick. To remedy this and enable him to stand up, we recommend using a weightier material for his feet. You may also want to experiment with the size of your bunny's feet to ensure you give him a wide enough base to stand on | eng | 0f3fa11d-5a7d-4785-8aea-7f8299b1211b | https://www.brightideascrafts.co.uk/blog-project-ideas/how-to-make-a-paper-chick-and-bunny/ |

Managing Sleep Apnea with Lifestyle Changes
Understanding Sleep Apnea
Sleep apnea is a sleep disorder characterized by pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while sleeping. These pauses can last for a few seconds to minutes and can occur multiple times throughout the night. It is often accompanied by loud snoring, abrupt awakenings, and excessive daytime sleepiness. There are three main types of sleep apnea: obstructive sleep apnea, central sleep apnea, and complex sleep apnea syndrome. Obstructive sleep apnea, the most common form, occurs when the throat muscles intermittently relax and block the airway during sleep.
Lifestyle Changes for Managing Sleep Apnea
In addition to medical treatments such as Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) therapy or oral appliances, making certain lifestyle changes can greatly help in managing sleep apnea. These changes are aimed at reducing the severity of the condition and improving overall sleep quality. Here are some tips:
1. Maintain a Healthy Weight
Excess weight can contribute to the development and severity of sleep apnea. Losing weight can significantly improve the symptoms and reduce the occurrence of apnea episodes. Focus on a balanced and nutritious diet along with regular exercise to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. Consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian for personalized guidance.
2. Sleep Position and Pillows
Sleeping on your back can worsen sleep apnea symptoms as it allows the tongue and soft tissues to obstruct the airway more easily. Try sleeping on your side instead, which can help keep the airway open. You may also benefit from using specially designed pillows that encourage side sleeping and help keep your head and neck properly aligned.
3. Avoid Alcohol and Sedatives
Alcohol and sedatives canrelax the throat muscles, making the airway more prone to collapse during sleep. Avoid consuming alcohol or taking sedative medications close to bedtime. If necessary, consult with your healthcare provider to explore alternative options for managing any underlying conditions that may require medication.
4. Regular Exercise
Incorporating regular exercise into your routine can have numerous benefits for sleep apnea. Exercise can help with weight management, improve cardiovascular health, and strengthen the muscles involved in breathing. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, most days of the week. However, avoid vigorous exercise too close to bedtime as it can interfere with sleep.
5. Quit Smoking
Smoking is linked to various health problems, including sleep apnea. Smoking irritates the airways, causing inflammation and narrowing of the throat muscles, which can exacerbate sleep apnea symptoms. Quitting smoking can significantly improve your overall health and may help reduce the severity of sleep apnea. Consider seeking professional help or joining a smoking cessation program for support.
6. Establish a Consistent Sleep Routine
Having a consistent sleep routine can promote better sleep quality and help manage sleep apnea. Aim to go to bed and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends. Create a relaxing pre-sleep routine that signals your body it's time to wind down. Avoid stimulating activities, such as using electronic devices or working, close to bedtime.
7. Optimize Sleep Environment
Your sleep environment plays a crucial role in ensuring a restful night's sleep. Make your bedroom comfortable, quiet, and dark. Use curtains or blinds to block out any external lights. Keep the temperature cool and maintain good ventilation. Consider using a white noise machine or earplugs to mask disruptive sounds that may interfere with your sleep.
8. Manage Stress
High levels of stress can worsen sleep apnea symptoms and disrupt sleep. Find effective ways to manage stress, such as practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or yoga. Engage in activities that you find enjoyable and help you unwind. If necessary, seek support from a therapist or counselor to develop healthy coping mechanisms for stress.
Conclusion
While lifestyle changes alone may not entirely eliminate sleep apnea, they can significantly improve the symptoms and reduce the frequency of apnea episodes. It's important to remember that each individual may respond differently to these changes, and it may take time to find what works best for you. Consult with a healthcare professional or sleep specialist for personalized guidance and to explore additional treatment options if necessary. With commitment and consistency, you can effectively manage sleep apnea and improve your overall sleep quality and well-being.

A quick introduction to augmented reality
Here at Poplar Studio, we aim to provide an introduction to augmented reality and bring awareness to the technology of the future.
What is it?
Augmented reality (AR) is a form of emerging technology that allows users to overlay computer-generated content on the real world using a mobile device or headset.
Have you seen it before?
Some people don't realize they're using AR even though they actually are. Most are familiar with AR through the use of Facebook and Snapchat effects or lenses, according to the Mindshare report, 'The Future of Augmented Reality'. What's the most exciting bit? There is proof consumers are hungry for more layers of information and entertainment. Not just in the real world but in a reality that goes beyond social media.
What are the present forms of AR?
Today, there are a few standardised ways AR is experienced and few ways those experiences are applied in the world. There is limitless potential for how AR can make our reality more informative and interesting; from social media formats where AR is used for entertainment to image recognition that facilitates impromptu content accessibility. For examples of present forms of AR, check out our showcase page now!
We will talk in more depth about the current AR landscape in our next post, so stay tuned. 🔜 | eng | 89b558ae-7b87-4c26-a2ce-5953b64d0bb1 | https://poplar.studio/blog/introduction-to-augmented-reality/ |

It's easy to get lost in the details and the small passages when studying the Bible.
But here's the thing.
You can't build anything successfully (much less a love for Scripture in adolescents) without a foundation.
In Scripture, Jesus says that we need to build our faith on a firm foundation
Matthew 7:24-27
The mistake that many people make is to start with the scaffolding. The small details. It doesn't build something that lasts.
Here's what needs to be your foundation – the three things you need to know to help teens understand the entire Bible.
1. A Deep Enthusiasm for the Word of God
We can't pour out of an empty cup.
If you, as the leader, aren't grounded in Scripture yourself, you will have a much harder time teaching it to teenagers.
Enthusiasm is contagious. Let the Lord fill you with his Word and get personally excited about the content you're teaching. This enthusiasm will naturally bubble over to your students.
How? By regular prayer and a personal Bible study or small group!
(If you skip this step, nothing else is going to matter, because your teens are going to sense inauthenticity from a mile away.)
2. Thinking About the Bible as a Library, Not a Book
When we think about the Bible, we often think of it as a chronological book with a beginning, middle, and end.
In reality, the Bible is a library. It contains various books by different authors. From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible spans over a thousand years of time.
There are fourteen narrative books in the Bible that tell the story of salvation chronologically. The other books fit into this narrative in different places with supporting information from different perspectives.
If you show teens that the Bible is a library and not a book, they will be less overwhelmed by it and will have a new understanding when they open the Scriptures.
When they open any book of the Bible, they will understand its context and the time period it fits into.
… And have more insight to apply in their own lives.
If you don't do this, the different types of literature will throw them off and confuse them.
3. A Steady Focus on the Big Picture
It is tempting to try to read the whole Bible from cover to cover, front to back.
We get a serotonin rush just thinking about completing that.
… But this is actually not the most effective way to read and retain Scripture. If you try to read the Bible cover to cover, your students will get bogged down, overwhelmed, and discouraged.
Because there is so much to take in.
When teaching the Bible to teens, focus only on the big picture—the arc of the story. This way, they can read and understand the entire Bible without getting lost or bored.
This big-picture understanding is the foundation all their future Bible studies can build on. They will learn the ways God has moved through humanity throughout history and why it matters in their daily lives.
These Foundational Steps Sound Great, Right?
We have a program that guides you and your students right through these steps and shows you exactly how to focus on the big picture of Scripture.

Numerology and astrologyhave been fascinating fields of study for centuries, offering insights into the mysteries of life and the universe. While they are distinct disciplines, both numerology and astrologyseek to understand the cosmic influences that shape our lives and provide guidance for personal growth. In this article, we delve into the realms of numerologyand astrology, exploring their origins, key concepts, and how they can impact our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
Numerology is an ancient metaphysical system that examines the symbolism and vibrations associated with numbers. It suggests that numbers possess unique qualities and energies that can reveal hidden meanings about our lives, personalities, and destinies. Here are some essential aspects of numerology:
The Life Path Number is one of the fundamental concepts in numerology. It is calculated using a person's birthdate and represents the core essence of their life journey. By reducing the birthdate to a single-digit number, numerologists decipher the predominant themes, challenges, and opportunities that an individual is likely to encounter in their lifetime.
The Personal Year Number is another critical aspect of numerology. It provides insight into the experiences and lessons that await an individual during a specific year. By calculating this number based on the birthdate and the current year, numerologists can offer guidance on how to navigate the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.
Similar to an astrological natal chart, a numerological chart maps out the various numbers associated with an individual. It encompasses multiple elements, such as the Life Path Number, Destiny Number, Expression Number, and more. Each of these numbers contributes to a comprehensive understanding of a person's traits, talents, and potential life paths.
Numerology also places great significance on synchronicities—meaningful coincidences that appear as signs or messages from the universe. Recognizing these patterns can help individuals make decisions aligned with their higher purpose and tap into the flow of the universe.
Astrology is a complex system that examines the positions and movements of celestial bodies to understand their influence on human behaviorand events. By studying the alignment of the planets and interpreting their symbolism, astrologers can provide valuable insights into various aspects of our lives. Here are some key elements of astrology:
The twelve Zodiac signs are fundamental to astrology. Each signis associated with specific traits, characteristics, and elemental influences. By determining the position of the Sun at the time of birth, astrologers can assign an individual's Sun sign, providing a glimpse into their core personality.
A birth chart, also known as a natal chart, is a personalized map of the celestial positions at the moment of an individual's birth. It incorporates the positions of the Sun, Moon, planets, and other celestial bodies, as well as their relationships to each other. A birth chart offers a comprehensive overview of an individual's personality, strengths, weaknesses, and life potentials.
Planetary aspects refer to the angles formed between celestial bodies in a birth chart. These aspects reveal the dynamic interplay between different energies and can indicate strengths, challenges, and potential opportunities in various areas of life, such as career, relationships, and personal growth.
Transits and progressions are essential tools in astrology for predicting and understanding life events and personal growth. Transits involve the ongoing movement of planets The Intersection: Numerology and Astrology
While numerology and astrology are distinct disciplines, they share a common thread and can complement each other in profound ways. By integrating the insights from both systems, individuals can gain a more holistic understanding of themselves and their life path. Here are a few ways these disciplines intersect:
Aligning the Life Path Number in numerology with the Sun sign in astrology can provide a deeper understanding of an individual's core personality traits and life purpose. This integration helps individuals recognize their innate qualities and harness them for personal growth and fulfillment. You can learn more about this topics in this articlefrom Joynumber.
By combining the Personal Year Numberin numerology with the planetary transits in astrology, individuals can gain valuable insights into the prevailing energies and opportunities that influence their lives during a particular year. This synergy allows for informed decision-making and proactive engagement with the cosmic forces at play.
Both numerology and astrology recognize the power of symbolic messages from the universe. When individuals pay attention to numerical patterns, planetary alignments, and cosmic synchronicities, they can decipher profound messages that guide them on their life journey and help them align with their higher purpose.
Numerology and astrology are powerful tools for self-discovery and personal growth. By understanding our core numbers and planetary influences, we gain valuable insights into our strengths, weaknesses, and life purpose. This self-awareness allows us to make conscious choices and align our actions with our authentic selves.
Numerology reveals the qualities and lessons associated with our Life Path Number, offering guidance on the path we are meant to follow. It highlights our innate talents and potential challenges, enabling us to harness our strengths and overcome obstacles.
Astrology, through the examination of our birth chart, provides a holistic view of our personality and life potentials. By understanding the planetary aspects and placements, we gain a deeper understanding of our emotional patterns, relationship dynamics, and vocational inclinations. This knowledge empowers us to make conscious decisions and embark on a journey of personal growth and fulfillment.
Numerology and astrology can also provide insights into relationship compatibility. Numerology examines the compatibility between individuals based on their Life Path Numbers. Certain numbers are naturally compatible, while others may require effort and understanding to establish a harmonious connection. This knowledge can help us navigate relationships more effectively, fostering understanding and communication.
Astrology, on the other hand, analyzes the compatibility between individuals through the examination of their birth charts. By comparing the positions of planets and the aspects they form, astrologers can determine the potential challenges and strengths within a relationship. This understanding allows couples to cultivate mutual respect, support, and harmony.
Both numerology and astrology can assist in making informed decisions and navigating life's changes. Numerology's Personal Year Number reveals the prevailing energies and themes of a particular year. By aligning our actions and choices with these energies, we can maximize opportunities and overcome challenges.
Astrology's transits and progressions provide further guidance on timing and decision-making. By analyzing the current planetary positions and their interactions with our birth chart, astrologers can offer insights into favorable periods for career advancement, starting a business, or making important life choices. This knowledge empowers individuals to make strategic decisions and take advantage of cosmic alignments.
Numerology's origins are unclear, but Pythagoras is associated with its influential system. Astrology dates back to ancient civilizations like Babylon and Egypt, with the Babylonians credited for developing the earliest known astrological system.
Numerology and astrology offer unique lenses through which we can explore the mysteries of our existence. While numerology focuses on the symbolism and vibrations of numbers, astrology examines the celestial bodies' positions and movements. Together, they provide a rich tapestry of insights, helping us understand ourselves, our potentials, and the world we inhabit. By embracing the wisdom of numerology and astrology, we open ourselves to a deeper connection with the universe and the profound guidance it offers. | eng | 8f30ac4b-e7ec-4e4b-978f-1c28a5818053 | https://straightforwardguidance.com/numerology-and-astrology/ |
Sleep and Mental Health
How Sleep Affects Your Mental Health
October 10th is World Mental Health Day. The World Federation for Mental Health began observing World Mental Health Day in 1992 as a way to promote mental health advocacy and educate the public on relevant issues – which makes this a timely opportunity for us to share some facts about the connections between sleep and mental health.
Defining Mental Health
Mental health is a complex subject because it has emotional, psychological and social aspects. So let's frame up the topic with a definition:
"Mental health is a state of well-being in which an individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to the community." – World Health Organization (WHO)
While the WHO clearly links the concept of mental health to one of well-being, many of us tend to focus on mental illnesses when we think about mental health. Mental disorders are wide ranging and can include schizophrenia, dementia, PTSD and anxiety, along with eating disorders, substance use disorders, ADHD and depression to name a few.
A Significant Health Issue
The National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) reports:
Approximately one in five adults in the U.S. (43.8 million) experience a mental illness in a given year. About one in 25 experience mental illness serious enough to impact or interfere with one or more major life activities.
Mood disorders are the third most common cause of hospitalization in the U.S. for people ages 18-44.
Adults in the U.S. living with mental illness die on average 25 years earlier than others.
An estimated 18-22 veterans commit suicide every day.
How Sleep Relates
Researchers and doctors have known about the correlation between sleep quality and mental health for years. Clinicians have traditionally viewed sleep problems as a symptom of a mental illness. But there is growing evidence that poor sleep quality can also contribute to the development of new psychiatric disorders and the ability to cope with existing disorders.
Among the many published reports linking inadequate or poor sleep quality with mental health issues, you'll find facts like:
Insomniacs are nearly 10 times more likely to suffer from clinical depression and more than 17 times more likely to report clinical anxiety than normal sleepers.
Four-year-olds with serious sleep disorders have a higher risk of developing symptoms of psychiatric problems as six-year-olds when compared to normal-sleeping peers.
Individuals with two or more types of sleep problems were about 2.6 times more likely to report a suicide attempt than those without any insomnia complaints.
While researchers still don't know the exact reasons for this two-way relationship between sleep patterns and mental illness, scientists have discovered that sleep disruption seriously impacts neurotransmitters and stress hormones which can lead to impaired thinking and the inability to regulate emotions – two of the most common symptoms of mental disorders.
Dealing with Insomnia
Insomnia, the inability to fall asleep or stay asleep, plagues millions of people across all levels of mental health.
For many people, insomnia can be part of the complex package of causes of mental health difficulties. If you can sort out your sleep, you could also be taking a significant step forward in tackling a wide-range of psychological and emotional problems." – Daniel Freeman, Ph.D., University of Oxford, Department of Psychiatry
Strategies for addressing insomnia apply to individuals with and without existing mental health issues. The Better Sleep Council has published many tips on improving the quantity and quality of sleep through better sleep hygiene practices.
If lifestyle changes aren't helping, you may also investigate dietary supplements (such as melatonin or valerian) or relaxation techniques (yoga and meditation, for example) to help you doze off. Cognitive behavioral therapy can also help you control or eliminate the negative thoughts and actions that keep you awake.
Seek Help
If you suspect that you or someone you love is experiencing mental health issues or dealing with sleep problems, consult with a medical professional who can direct you to one of the many effective interventions and treatments available.
Buying a mattress that matches your sleep preference can also go a long way toward improving your sleep, so you can improve your mental health. Take our Better Bed Quizzz so you can shope for one with confidence.

@Mattygrand - It's funny how people complain about things they don't understand. Being half Jordanian, I had been privy to the ORIGINAL Aladdin and Genie before Disney's version and I was confused when that cartoon came out and the genie was blue instead of brown.
As an adult, I understand the misappropriation of culture and why rich white people didn't want the genie to be portrayed as Arab - even though he is quite literally a Djinn.
Disney's Aladdin was wayyyyy better though! And one of my favorite movies. Now they hired the king of heists - Guy Richie - to do a heist movie (cave of wonders, anyone?) So I'm going to go into it with an open mind, hoping it will be it's own version, in it's own good way.
@LiteraryJoe - Of course, Aladdin himself was originally Chinese (also set in China despite having many Muslim characters) and the story was only added to a translation of 1001 Arabian Nights by a French author who supposedly heard it from an Arabian storyteller and included it as an "extra" tale, although to the best of my knowledge nobody has ever uncovered an earlier recorded version of the tale | eng | c40dc948-f52f-40c7-82b7-ba6aa596a761 | https://comicbookmovie.com/disney/first-look-at-guy-ritchies-live-action-aladdin-finally-reveals-will-smiths-genie-a165398 |
Traffic Lights Framework – Understanding Healthy Sexual Development and Protecting Children from Harm
August 15, 2019 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm
OUTLINE
The Traffic Lights Framework explores typical and age appropriate sexual behaviours in children, and importantly, also examines sexual behaviours that might signal abuse, risk factors associated with sexual abuse, and protective responses that can be taken to maximise child safety. The presentation walks participants through applying the Traffic Lights Framework by using example sexual behaviours, and a range of scenarios. These develop the skills and confidence of educators in identifying, understanding and responding appropriately to sexual behaviours in children. | eng | f78508c6-0319-49f0-b0ec-27b1b1246337 | https://ecta.org.au/event/traffic-lights-framework-understanding-healthy-sexual-development-and-protecting-children-from-harm/ |

Fun fact: The first recorded watermelon harvest occurred nearly 5,000 years ago in Egypt
Introduction
Aside from the cold refreshing water, there's another food that does the same power with the same excellent nutritional profile as water, but definitely more juicy and delicious.
The watermelons are grown across the tropical and subtropical countries. They are big hit in summer to beat the scorching heat. This is true because watermelon is rich in water so you get hydrated. Unlike water, watermelon has electrolytes, which affects the amount of water in the body. And because electrolytes are eliminated when you sweat, watermelon as a rich source of electrolytes helps in replenishing your body with the same.
This fruit is a healthy choice especially when it only has 30 calories for every 100 grams. It is also very low in terms of fat.
Watermelon is also an excellent source of vitamins A, B6 and C. Vitamin A (11%DV) improves immunity against diseases and at the same time improves vision. Vitamin B6 aids in the production of antibodies to fight illnesses. They also play a vital role in the formation of red blood cells and to ensure the normal function of the nerves. Vitamin C at 13% DV likewise strengthens one's immunity system from viruses.
Per 100 grams of watermelon contains 3% of the daily value of potassium, an essential nutrient to control heart rate and blood pressure. And since potassium is important for water balance in the cell, it is a good remedy for muscle cramps. It also has magnesium to guard the immune system and to keep the normal function of nerves and muscles. Watermelon is also packed with 1% DV of protein and iron. The protein ensures that your bones are strong, while iron advances normal functioning of the cell, boost metabolism, and supports growth.
Researchers have also found out that watermelons have more lycopene than the red tomatoes. One hundred grams of watermelon contain 4532 µg lycopene, higher than the 2573 µg lycopene in tomatoes. The lycopene found in the watermelon protects the skin from the UV rays. Lycopene, along with other antioxidants like lutein and beta-carotene protect your cells and body from oxygen-free radicals.
Aside from the red portion of the watermelon, it has also other parts that are rich with nutrients. The watermelon seeds provide iron and zinc. And while watermelon has relatively lower daily value of dietary fiber per 100 grams, one can still acquire more fiber by consuming larger amount of this fruit. But not to worry because even if you consume more, it would still cost low count of calories.
Watermelon is one of the world's most favorite fruits. This fruit has a sweet and very refreshing taste. Aside from it being delicious, it is also highly nutritious. It has high water, mineral, and vitamin content. It is composed about 92% of water and is also very high in Lycopene. In fact, it is told to be the "Lycopene King" beating tomatoes aside. This fruit is rich in vitamins C, B6, and A. It also has high level of amino acid and antioxidant content. This fruit is very popular to those who wish to lose weight because it is very low in calories and sodium. It is also a nutritious substitute to water. If you want a healthy and more interesting water substitute, you can never go wrong with watermelon. You will be surprised with the various amazing health benefits of this fruit.
Optimizes Heart Condition
Because of the high lycopene content of watermelon, regular intake will protect and preserve a healthy heart condition. Lycopene effectively frees the body's cells from damage. Aside from lycopene, watermelon also has arginine and citrulline that are good for the health of the heart. Arginine and citrulline regulate proper blood flow and prevents irregular fat accumulation.
Promotes Weight Loss
As mentioned above, watermelon has arginine and citrulline which are amino acids that reduce excess fat accumulation. These amino acids retain the regular fat composition of the body. Plus watermelon also has low fat content. It reduces chances of obesity and all various disease and illnesses that come with it. This fruit will make a tasty and healthy everyday snack.
Treats Sore Muscles
Eating watermelon is very beneficial especially to those who highly engage in sports and other types of physical activities. This fruit is rich in amino acids called L-citrulline that effectively relaxes blood vessels at the same time regulates proper blood circulation. If you are into sports and intense workout routines, eating watermelon or drinking watermelon juice before and after work will help you prevent or treat muscle soreness. Watermelon also helps in stabilizing heart rate.
Improves Digestion
Because watermelon is mostly water and has significant level of fiber content, it encourages proper digestion. Its properties clear up your digestion track for normal digestive process. This helps avoid digestive issues like constipation.
Beautifies Skin and Hair
Watermelon has Vitamin A that nourishes the skin and hair on a cellular level. If you want a healthier and beautiful skin and hair, eating watermelon is very effective because unlike relying on skin and hair care products, this fruit repairs and beautifies from the inside. Its vitamin A content moisturizes your skin and hair. It also has Vitamin C that promotes the production and growth of elastin cells and collagen.
Reduces Risks of having Cancer
Lycopene in watermelon is an anti-inflammatory compound. Lycopene effectively decreases development of free radicals that primarily causes cancer. On top of that, this fruit also has choline that deteriorates chronic inflammation. Lycopene boosts overall health and immunity thus preventing damage on a cellular level. According to studies, watermelon prevents and treats prostate cancer.
Keeps the Body Hydrated
This fruit is very popular especially on hot sunny days. Despite the scorching heat of the sun, watermelon will keep you hydrated. This fruit is high in water content and electrolytes that will keep you going despite the weather. This fruit also prevents heat stroke because it cools the body and regulates release of excess body liquid.
Prevents and Treats Diabetes
Watermelon has magnesium and potassium that stimulates production and maintenance of insulin in the body thus regulating blood sugar levels. The presence of Arginine also intensifies prevention of diabetes because this compound enhances insulin effects on our body's sugar. This fruit is highly recommended to diabetic patients because it tastes sweet but is very low on calories.
Decreases Chances of Impotence
Watermelon is a healthier and safer cure to erectile dysfunction because of its arginine content. This fruit is also found to be an effective libido booster. It acts as a natural Viagra. If you are eager for a happier sex life, regular intake of watermelon will be effectively helpful.
Improves Eye Health
This fruit has beta-carotene, lutein, zeacanthin, and Vitamin C that highly betters eye health. Its antioxidants fight off eye disorders such as ARMD or are-related macular degeneration. If you want to avoid age-related eye ailments like glaucoma, blindedness, and the likes, as well as to promote better eye sight eating watermelon regularly effectively helps. | eng | d8d354a9-bd34-4911-ac30-73aee805cff1 | https://servingjoy.com/amazing-health-benefits-of-watermelon/ |
Habitat and distribution Of Psilocybe Cyanescens
Psilocybe cyanescens grows today primarily on wood chips, especially in and along the perimeter of mulched plant beds in urban areas, but can also grow on other lignin-rich substrates. P. cyanescens does not grow on a substrate that is not lignin-rich. Fruitings have been reported in natural settings previously (although most appear to be migrations from mulched plant beds.) The species does not typically grow on mulch that is made from bark.
In the United States, P. cyanescens occurs mainly in the Pacific Northwest, south to the San Francisco Bay Area. It can also be found in areas such as Western Europe, Central Europe, New Zealand and parts of West Asia (Iran, Tehran). The range in which P. cyanescens occurs expands rapidly, especially in areas where it is not native as the use of mulch to control weeds has been popularized. This rapid expansion of range may be due in part to the simple expedient of P. cyanescens mycelium having colonized the distribution network of woodchip suppliers and thus being distributed on a large scale with commercial mulch.
Although it has been speculated that P. cyanescens' native habitat is the coniferous woodlands of the north-western United States or coastal dunes in the PNW, the type specimen was described from mulch beds in Kew Gardens, and there is no widely accepted explanation of P. cyanescens original habitat.
Fruiting is dependent on a drop in temperature. In the San Francisco Bay Area, this means that fruiting typically occurs between late October and February, and fruiting in other areas happens in fall when temperatures are between 10-18 °C (50-65 °F).
P. cyanescens often fruits gregariously or in cespitose clusters, sometimes in significant numbers. 100,000 P. cyanescens fruits were once found growing on a racetrack in the south of England. Solitary fruits are sometimes also found.
The procedure Of growing Psilocybe Cyanescens And Other Mushrooms
Step 1 – STERILIZE EVERYTHING!
Before the BRF tek is started, sterilization procedures need to be taken. The surface working on should be as sterile as possible as well as the equipment and tools.
Windows should be kept open if possible, as this will help with the air staying sterile.
An antiseptic cleaning spray should be sprayed in the area that will be worked in every so often to ensure no dust or germs infect the jars. It's vital that sterilization procedures are taken as it's very easy for the jars to become contaminated.
Step 2 – MAKING THE CAKES
To know how much vermiculite, water, and brown rice flour is needed, a bit of math is required (but nothing too complicated).
The following ingredients are needed to fill a 240ml jar:
140ml Vermiculite.
40ml Brown rice flour.
20-30ml water.
To work out how much of these ingredients will be needed, it will depend on the number of jars and how much the jar can contain. For example, if we wanted to use six 240ml jars, each ingredient would need to be multiplied by 6.
Once the amount of each ingredient is figured out, the vermiculite and water need to be mixed until the water starts to pool when the bowl is tilted to the side.
Afterward, the brown rice flour is added. The mix then needs to be put into the jars, leaving about half an inch left at the top, and then filled with dry vermiculite.
2 Layers of foil need to be put on top of the jars tightly, so they won't come off. Then put a 3rd layer of foil on very loosely.
The jars need to be sterilized further, so they need to be put in a pressure cooker for about 20-30 minutes. The lids of the jars can be put at the bottom of the pressure cooker to ensure that the jars at the bottom of the pressure cooker do not get too hot.
Spore syringe
Step 3 – INOCULATION
After the jars have cooled down, the jars then need to be inoculated with the spores. A syringe is used to do this, and it needs to be sterile.The spore print should be scraped off with a scalpel very lightly into a sterile jar or cup, and then 10ml of water should be added.
Using the syringe, the water, and spore mixture should be sucked into the syringe. If the spores stick to the bottom of the jar, empty and refill the syringe a few times. This also helps to ensure that the spores are properly mixed into the water.
The 3rd layer of foil on top of the jars should be taken off then pierce four sides of the 2nd layer of foil with the syringe. The number of spores put into the jar does not really matter too much, but more usually is better to ensure the jars do get inoculated. Once all the jars are inoculated, the 3rd layer of foil needs to be put back on the jars tightly.
Step 4 – INCUBATION!
One of the tubs should have an aquarium heater placed on the bottom of the tub and then filled 1/3 of the way up with water. The aquarium heater should be set to 27 degrees C. Then the second tub should be placed inside, using the spare jars to hold up the second tub, so that the aquarium heater is not touching the bottom of the top tub. The jars should be then placed inside the tub. If the jars need to be stacked, a piece of card should be used to separate them as the bottom of the jars should not be resting on top of the foil as this could make the foil become loose and then will be prone to contamination. A clean towel should then be placed on top of the box to keep in the heat.
Colonization of Psilocybe cyanescens.
A contaminated jar.
Step 5 – COLONIZATION
After 3-5 days, signs of colonization should appear. The jars should have little specks of a white growing inside of them; this is the mycelium that will eventually colonize the whole jar. If any other color other than white (and the brown vermiculite) is seen in the jars, it means that the jars have been contaminated and has mold growing on them. More sterile procedures need to be taken the next time this is done.
If the jars have started to colonize properly, then full colonization should take from 2 to 6 weeks. Depending on certain things, colonization can vary from just a couple of days to a month or two.
Things that will affect the speed of the colonization are:
Temperature of the room
Air humidity
The strain of spore
Patience is needed for this step, but if signs of colonization are shown, most likely the whole jar will eventually be colonized.
Step 6 – PINNING
When the jar has completely colonized, they should be taken out of the incubator and placed in direct sunlight at room temperature. Pins should start to be seen in the jars after 5 days, but sometimes pinning can occur during step 8. (Pinning is the name given to the mushrooms when they are first seen, as they are very, very small and thin.)
Step 7 – DUNK & ROLL
After 5 days are over, the cakes should be taken out of the jars and washed under a tap, to get any excess vermiculite off. The cakes should then be submerged (dunked) in a big pot of water for 24 hours. After the 24 hours, the cakes then need to be taken out of the water and rolled in dry vermiculite, helping to keep in the moisture. (Cakes are the name given to the mixture of vermiculite and mycelium once they have left the jars.)
Step 8 – FRUITING
A fruiting chamber is needed and is made by drilling multiple holes on all 4 sides of the tub and on the lid (this helps with the air flow in the tub). The perlite should be poured into a colander and soaked in water thoroughly. After the perlite has been soaked, it should be placed into the fruiting chamber (about 5-7 liters is needed, but depending on the size of the tub the level of perlite should be about 2-4 inches high).
The cakes should be then placed in the fruiting chamber on top of a small square piece of foil to ensure that the mycelium does not grow in the perlite, But I am not entirely sure if that is a bad thing or not (yet)… Then when the cakes are all placed inside, the tub should be sprayed with water AT LEAST three times a day.
If pinning didn't occur during step 6, they should start to pin during this step, but again patience is needed as pinning can sometimes take a while.
Now they are fully grown and ready to pick.
Step 9 – PICKING
You should see progress within a week or two, possibly less than that. Picking them is usually best to do, just after the veil is broken (the veil is the thin piece that attaches the stem to the cap). If you see some pins on the cakes that have turned black, these are called aborts. They are still okay to eat. They just didn't manage to grow quickly enough, but they'll still have psilocybin in them 😉
Dosage, onset and duration
Threshold: 0.25 g
Light: 0.25 – 2.5 g
Moderate: 2.5 – 5 g
Strong: 5 + g Onset : 10 – 40 minutes
Onset: 20 – 60 minutes (when swallowed on an empty stomach)
Duration: 2 – 6 hours
Normal after effects: up to 8 hours
Preparation Psilocybe Cyanescens And Other Mushrooms
The easiest method of preparation for eliminating nausea and taste is having the mushrooms prepared into a chocolate bar. This can be done by melting a small standard size chocolate bar. While the chocolate melts, the dried mushrooms need to be blended into a fine powder. The powdered mushrooms would then be mixed into the melted chocolate, and the mixture should then be left to set in a mold and placed into the fridge so that the chocolate can settle. Once the chocolate has settled, the tasty psychedelic treat can be consumed.
A quicker technique is putting blended mushroom powder into a chocolate spread or jam sandwich as this disguises the taste completely and reduces nausea in leaps and bounds. | eng | 7d62ada1-f78f-4447-830e-36249c6d5d33 | https://psilocybemushrooms.uk/index.php/product/psilocybe-cyanescens/ |

"The only certainty about pinball is that every game will be different," declares Chad (Science Comics: Solar System) in this illuminating and thorough graphic history. Chad chronicles the craze from the earliest iterations of pinball (bagatelle, which European immigrants brought to America in the 19th century), to the game's golden age in the 1930s, to the technological revolutions that prompted narrative-driven games in the 1980s, to its reemerging popularity (in the 2000s, there was one pinball manufacturer, by the 2010s there were more than 10). The author successfully packages the minutiae of pinball's existence--tackling its darker periods when politicians saw it as a corrupter of youth, alongside periods of innovation in which electrical elements and digitization were introduced to what was originally a fully mechanical game--with dynamic art and vivid coloring assisted by Luke Healy. Pinballs are drawn exploding out of panels to emulate the wild behavior of a ball in play; opponents of pinball, such as New York Mayor Fiorello La Guardia, become towering, imposing figures; and individual elements of game machines are highlighted to show how they work together in a surprisingly narrative fashion. Back matter includes basic tips and tricks, the anatomy of pinball machines, a glossary, and player resources. Cracking this one open evokes the delight of snapping back the launcher in the arcade.

Understanding the pitfalls of using artificial intelligence in the news room
We've all been amazed by new advances in AI for news rooms. But we must also focus on ensuring its ethical use. Here are some concerns to address
In previous articles about using AI in journalism, we looked at its prospects and promises. Now, it's time to venture into the dark side.
Most of the concerns regarding the use of AI for editorial content stem from two issues: a) how inaccessible these systems can be to ordinary people and the untrained eye, and b) how easy it is to misuse technology to cause real harm.
Read more:
We are in the early days of using technology such as ChatGPT for news, and while we have been following the technological advances, we are still missing a solid framework in the form of legal and ethical guidelines and regulations for its use in news rooms. I am sure there is work being done on that.
So, here are some concerns regarding AI for news that I have identified. As systems change constantly, some of the following may be solved soon or they could be amplified as we use it more and more.
Bias
The problem: Biases may emerge from how AI systems are built, how their algorithms are tuned and from the data used to train them. Imagine an AI-powered news outlet whose algorithm consistently recommends and promotes news articles that align with a specific political ideology, ignore differing perspectives, eliminate opposing voices or reinforce stereotypes.
What can be done: Openness about training data and methods is essential. This will eventually be enforced with regulations. But it can also be managed with a human eye that edits AI work, preventing biased material from reaching the audience. The technology is still unreliable for unfiltered publication. But here's another angle: AI could be used to identify biases in human news reporting.
Accuracy
The problem: Editorial work relies on accurate and reliable news reporting. While checking facts, AI systems may misidentify inaccurate information (satire, for example) as credible news or fail to give context.
What can be done: Fact-checking will get much better as AI systems get "smarter", their algorithms are refined and they are trained in better datasets. Combining the strengths of human journalists and artificial intelligence would mean they could complement each other's skills in verification.
Transparency
The problem: It's still early days for using tools with these sorts of capabilities and it's tempting to dive in and adopt AI in the newsroom without fully understanding how it operates, its decision-making processes and the underlying algorithms.
What can be done: There is not a great deal that can be done at this stage, as AI is a multi-billion industry already, but the development of open-source AI could be a start towards trusting it for editorial use, combined with a legal and ethical framework.
One of the biggest advancements I'd like to see is "explainable AI" - a system that would provide understandable explanations for its decisions and allow users to comprehend how information has been selected and filtered.
Misinformation
The problem: In these early days of AI, there have been some chilling displays of deepfake video and audio - and demonstrations of how easy it is to pull off something embarrassing and totally fake.
What can be done: Sure, technology can be used for good and evil. AI systems are good at creating deepfakes but they can also be great at detecting them. Image and video analysis, pattern recognition and natural language processing are boosted by artificial intelligence. It would be great to put these tools in the service of good journalism but before that happens, we need to educate the public about the dangers of fake AI-generated content.
Privacy
The problem: Having an AI serve us with recommendations and personalised content means we are handing over our data: browsing history, reading habits and personal preferences. This extensive data collection - and its storing, retention and sharing - raises concerns about the privacy and security of user information. And there is another layer to all this: have we signed off on using our data to train AI?
What can be done: This is not a new problem for digital news businesses. It would probably have to be treated with the same policies in effect today: data minimisation (collection of only necessary information), strong data encryption and access control, clear privacy policies and regular audits to assess compliance.
This is another case where transparency is needed: users must understand how the AI handles their data and give explicit consent at every step. They can opt out of giving away sensitive information.
Lack of human judgement
The problem: This refers to the limitations of AI systems to capture the emotion of a sensitive event or apply subjective judgement. It can result in tone-deaf reports or an insensitive portrayal of a situation.
What can be done: A hybrid approach, where humans and AI collaborate. Automating routine tasks to AI means journalists must oversee and intervene to ensure stories are treated properly. Users can play a role here, giving feedback and evaluating AI-generated content.
Job implications
The problem: Ever since the promise of AI in the newsroom was real, critics have expressed concerns about the potential loss of jobs for humans. Automation will certainly bring changes in the workplace, as has happened with several emerging technology tools throughout history.
What can be done: This is a major opportunity for journalists to improve their skills, invest in training programmes in skills needed to work alongside AI and adapt to the new roles created in the newsroom. There are editorial work areas in which AI is simply very efficient which can remain "manual", and new workflows will also be created. In most of them, journalists will supervise algorithmic output, the type of which we have described extensively in previous articles - do read more! Humans and AI systems must collaborate and complement each other to produce editorial content.
Inclusivity and accessibility
The problem: As AI systems have a role in how we deliver news to various audiences, we need to make sure they are accessible to a diverse range of people and are not excluding any particular sets of users.
What can be done: Artificial Intelligence tools can help immensely with equal access and opportunity for engagement with news content and services. Features like text-to-speech, automated closed-captioning for video content, alternative formats, automatic adjustment of typography and colours and especially multi-modal interfaces for communication via text, audio and visual means | eng | cd7c9cd2-5514-4d63-aa1e-9d181115feb0 | https://institute.aljazeera.net/en/ajr/article/2255 |
What does intimacy mean spiritually?
Intimacy is a complex phenomenon that has multifaceted meanings in various contexts. When we explore intimacy from a spiritual perspective, we need to understand that it encompasses much more than just physical closeness. Instead, it refers to a deep connection or bond that a person shares with another individual or entity, which is characterized by emotional, intellectual, and spiritual engagement.
At its core, spirituality seeks to awaken the human consciousness to a higher or divine reality, and it is through this awareness that one can connect with the divine in the most intimate manner. In essence, it is through the cultivation of a strong spiritual relationship that a person can experience a sense of oneness with the divine.
Intimacy from a spiritual standpoint involves acknowledging that each individual is a unique manifestation of divinity or a higher power. Thus, true intimacy requires an individual to recognize the inherent worth of another person and to treat them with the utmost reverence, respect, and kindness.
Furthermore, spiritual intimacy requires an individual to engage in a deep level of self-reflection and to cultivate a profound sense of awareness, which allows them to understand the complex love and compassion that exists within all human beings.
Intimacy in a spiritual context often involves practices such as meditation, prayer, and mindfulness, which enable an individual to develop a heightened sense of consciousness and connection to the divine.
To sum up, spiritual intimacy is a profound connection that involves nurturing a deep relationship with the divine and recognizing the value and worth in every person. While it is a complex concept, it provides a powerful framework for developing meaningful relationships and building a life that is rooted in love, compassion, and spiritual awareness.
What is an example of spiritual intimacy?
An example of spiritual intimacy can be experienced in a variety of ways depending on the individual and their beliefs, but it often involves a deep connection with the divine or a higher power and a sharing of that connection with another person. This can be seen in practices like prayer or meditation, where two people come together to focus on the same spiritual goal, or through conversations about faith and belief systems.
It can also be found in shared moments of transcendence, like watching a beautiful sunset and reflecting on the wonder of creation. spiritual intimacy is about building a deep, abiding connection that goes beyond just physical or emotional attraction, and incorporates a shared understanding of the meaning and purpose of life.
It can be a powerful force in creating a lasting and fulfilling relationship, enhancing personal growth, and providing a sense of purpose in the world.
How do you show spiritual intimacy?
Spiritual intimacy is a beautiful aspect of a relationship that signifies a connection beyond the physical level. It is the bond that is based on shared beliefs, values, and practices that help deepen the connection between two individuals. The following are different ways to show spiritual intimacy in a relationship:
1. Sharing spiritual experiences: Couples can attend religious ceremonies together and share their thoughts about the service. They can also meditate or pray together, which can enhance their spiritual connection.
2. Discussing spiritual beliefs: Couples can discuss their spiritual beliefs, ask questions, and learn from each other. This helps to show mutual respect, trust, and bonding.
3. Reading and studying spiritual texts together: Couples can read spiritual books together or study scriptures, which can help improve their understanding of their spiritual beliefs and bring them closer.
4. Serving others: When couples work together to help others, it strengthens their spiritual bond. They can volunteer at a charity or do community work together, which provides a shared sense of purpose that is rooted in their spiritual beliefs.
5. Respect each other's beliefs: Spiritual intimacy is built when couples respect and support each other's beliefs. Even if they follow different religions or spiritual paths, they can learn to appreciate each other's differences and find common ground.
6. Practice forgiveness: Spirituality teaches us to forgive others, and forgiveness is essential in a relationship for long-lasting intimacy. When couples forgive each other, they create a space for more love, trust, and closeness.
Spiritual intimacy in a relationship is a beautiful way to deepen the connection between partners. By sharing spiritual experiences, discussing beliefs, studying spiritual texts, serving others, respecting and forgiving each other, couples can enhance their spiritual connection and create a lasting relationship built on love, trust, and mutual values.
Why is spiritual intimacy important?
Spiritual intimacy is defined as a deep and meaningful connection with one's own spirituality, as well as with another individual's spiritual beliefs and practices. This type of intimacy is important because it serves as a foundation for a strong and lasting relationship. Spiritual intimacy allows individuals to connect on a deeper level beyond mere physical attraction and superficial interests.
One of the primary reasons why spiritual intimacy is important is that it helps to foster emotional and mental stability. When individuals share spiritual beliefs and practices, they are more likely to experience a sense of meaning and purpose in their lives. They are also less likely to feel lost or uncertain when faced with difficult situations, as they are able to draw upon their spiritual beliefs and practices to provide a sense of guidance and direction.
Moreover, spiritual intimacy helps to create a sense of trust and safety within a relationship. When individuals are able to share their deepest thoughts, feelings, and beliefs with each other, they create a space where they feel comfortable being vulnerable and authentic. This creates a sense of emotional safety and security, which is crucial for a healthy relationship.
Another reason why spiritual intimacy is important is that it helps to cultivate empathy and compassion. When individuals share spiritual beliefs, they are more likely to be understanding and supportive of each other's struggles and challenges. This sense of empathy and compassion creates a strong sense of emotional connection, which is essential for a fulfilling and meaningful relationship.
Finally, spiritual intimacy helps to create a deeper sense of connection to the broader universe. When individuals explore their spirituality together, they are able to connect to something larger than themselves. This sense of connectedness helps to create a sense of meaning and purpose in life, which can ultimately lead to greater satisfaction and happiness.
Spiritual intimacy is important because it fosters emotional and mental stability, creates a sense of trust and safety, cultivates empathy and compassion, and creates a deeper sense of connection to the broader universe. By exploring their spirituality together, individuals can create a strong and lasting connection that is based on authenticity, empathy, and a sense of purpose.
What are the 4 types of intimacy?
Intimacy is not just limited to physical or sexual attraction; it is a multidimensional concept that has various domains. There are four types of intimacy – emotional, intellectual, experiential, and physical.
Emotional intimacy is achieved when individuals connect on a deeper emotional level. It happens when one feels safe enough to share personal feelings, emotions, and thoughts with the other. This type of intimacy is built through trust, vulnerability, and communication. Emotional intimacy contributes to a healthier relationship as it promotes mutual respect, empathy, and understanding.
Intellectual intimacy refers to a connection based on the intellectual level. It results from sharing ideas, discussing concepts, and exploring new experiences together. It often requires a similar level of intelligence and intellectual curiosity from both partners, and it contributes to the growth of the individuals and the relationship.
Experiential intimacy is the type of intimacy that is built through shared experiences and activities. It results from spending time together, engaging in activities together, and exploring new challenges together. Experiential intimacy is critical for creating shared memories, a feeling of companionship, and mutual satisfaction.
Lastly, physical intimacy is the type of intimacy that is often associated with sexual attraction. It is the physical expression of affection, and it involves touch, sex, and physical proximity. Physical intimacy is essential for expressing love, affection, and passion, but it can also exist without sexual interaction, such as holding hands, hugging or cuddling.
All four types of intimacy are crucial to building and sustaining healthy relationships. While some types may be more dominant than others, each contributes to a deeper connection between individuals. Understanding and practicing all four types of intimacy can lead to greater satisfaction, communication, and closeness in a relationship.
How do you know you have a spiritual bond with someone?
The idea of having a spiritual bond with someone stems from the belief that our souls are connected to a higher power, and we can develop connections with others on a deeper level than just physical or emotional.
One way to identify a spiritual bond with someone is through a strong sense of intuition or "gut feeling" that you cannot explain logically. You may feel drawn towards this person or have an overwhelming feeling of comfort and ease when you are around them. This bond may also manifest in a sense of understanding, where you feel like this person truly "gets" you, even without having to explain yourself fully.
In addition, a spiritual bond with someone may involve a shared experience that impacted both of your lives in significant ways. This shared experience could be a traumatic event, a spiritual awakening or journey, or a deep connection to a specific cause or belief system. This connection can help to bond two individuals on a deeper, more meaningful level.
Another sign of a spiritual bond can be the ability to communicate without words, often described as a form of telepathy or unspoken understanding. This connection can manifest in the way you finish each other's sentences, intuitively understand each other's needs, or a feeling of being on the same page without having to verbally communicate.
Identifying a spiritual bond with someone is subjective and can vary from person to person. However, if you feel inexplicably connected to someone on a deeper level, an unspoken understanding, or a shared experience, it is possible that you have developed a spiritual bond with that person.
What does the Bible say about being intimate?
The Bible addresses the topic of intimacy and sexual relationships in various verses throughout its text. First and foremost, it emphasizes the sacredness and sanctity of sex within marriage. In Genesis 2:24, it states that a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.
This establishes the biblical viewpoint that sex is exclusively reserved for marriage, and it is a bond that creates a deep, meaningful connection between two individuals.
One of the most extensive and practical teachings on intimacy and sexual relationships is found in the book of Song of Solomon. In this book, the relationship between a man and a woman is celebrated in poetic language. The book not only celebrates the pleasures of intimacy and sexual love, but it also depicts the depth of commitment and emotional connection that should exist between two people who are involved in a sexual relationship.
Intimacy is not just a physical act, but it also involves emotional and spiritual closeness.
In 1 Corinthians 7, the Apostle Paul instructs married couples to fulfill one another's needs and desires sexually. He mentions that the husband should not withhold sex from his wife, nor the wife from her husband. The passage also highlights the idea that sex is not just for individual gratification but is a way of loving and serving one another in marriage.
On the other hand, the Bible also warns against engaging in sexual relationships outside of marriage. In 1 Thessalonians 4:3, it says, "For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality." Fornication, adultery, and other sexual sins are condemned by the Bible.
These acts can cause harm to oneself and others, damage relationships, and create a separation from God.
The Bible presents a balanced approach to intimacy and sexual relationships. It celebrates the beauty and sanctity of sex within marriage, emphasizing the emotional and spiritual connection that should exist between a husband and wife. At the same time, it warns against indulging in sexual sins and the consequences that come with them.
the Bible teaches that sex is a gift from God to be enjoyed within the context of a committed, loving marriage relationship.
Why is it important to have an intimate relationship with God?
It is important to have an intimate relationship with God for numerous reasons. The first being that it provides a sense of purpose and direction in life. When we have a close relationship with God, we are able to identify the path that he has set for us, and we are able to walk in it with confidence, knowing that we are not alone.
Having an intimate relationship with God also provides us with a sense of comfort and security. When we face challenges or difficulties, we are able to turn to him for guidance and support, knowing that he is always there to listen to our prayers and offer us comfort in times of need. This comfort and security is especially important during times of uncertainty or when we are facing difficult decisions in life.
Moreover, a close relationship with God allows us to grow spiritually and develop a deeper understanding of our faith. When we take the time to study his word and spend time in prayer, we are able to deepen our understanding of who God is and what he expects of us. This knowledge and understanding is crucial in helping us to navigate the many challenges that life can throw at us and to make decisions that are consistent with our faith and values.
Finally, having an intimate relationship with God also helps us to become better people. When we develop a close relationship with God, we are able to foster qualities such as kindness, compassion, and forgiveness, which not only benefit us, but also those around us. Through prayer and reflection, we are able to identify areas in our lives where we need to grow and improve, and with God's help, we are able to make positive changes that enable us to become better versions of ourselves.
Having an intimate relationship with God is important for a variety of reasons. It provides us with a sense of purpose and direction, comfort and security, spiritual growth, and the opportunity to become better people.
What happens when you connect with someone spiritually?
When you connect with someone spiritually, it means that you are able to establish a deep and meaningful connection with them that goes beyond physical and emotional levels. Spirituality refers to the ability to connect with something greater than oneself, whether it is a higher power, the universe, nature, or the divine.
When two people connect spiritually, they are able to experience a sense of oneness and unity. They feel a deep understanding, empathy, and compassion towards each other. They are able to communicate at a soul level, sharing their thoughts, feelings, and beliefs without judgment or fear.
Through spiritual connection, people are able to transcend their ego and delve into a space of pure consciousness. This allows them to gain insights, receive guidance, and explore deeper levels of their inner selves. They feel a sense of peace, harmony, and balance within themselves and with the world around them.
Spiritual connection also allows people to heal themselves and help others. By sending positive energy and intentions, they can release negative emotions, stresses, and blockages that are hindering them from living their best lives. They can also share this energy and healing with others and empower them to overcome their challenges and achieve their potential.
Spiritual connection allows people to experience a sense of unity, love, and purpose. It allows them to find meaning and fulfillment in life and live in harmony with others and the world around them. It is a truly transformative and profound experience that can bring about lasting positive change in individuals and society.
What are the three types of spiritual connections?
Spiritual connections are the deep, meaningful, and divine relationships people develop with themselves, others, and a higher power or force. These connections can lead to a sense of purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in life. There are three distinct types of spiritual connections that people can foster.
Firstly, the connection with oneself is the most fundamental type of spiritual connection. It involves self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-love. Connecting with oneself requires an individual to become more mindful and aware of their feelings, thoughts, and actions. It also involves learning to accept oneself with all flaws, weaknesses, and imperfections.
This connection helps individuals to form a positive self-image, improve self-esteem, and gain inner peace and happiness.
Secondly, the connection with others is the spiritual bond that individuals share with others, including family, friends, and loved ones. It involves love, compassion, empathy, kindness, and respect. Spiritual connections with others provide comfort, support, and encouragement in life's journey. It also creates a sense of belongingness and helps individuals to form healthy and lasting relationships.
Lastly, a spiritual connection with a higher power is the connection people make with a divine power, higher force, or universal energy. This connection is often through religious practices, meditation, prayer, or mindfulness. Establishing a spiritual connection with a higher power can provide individuals with guidance, strength, and understanding of the bigger picture of life.
It can also provide a sense of purpose and meaning, giving a focus towards a greater goal or objective.
The three types of spiritual connections- oneself, others, and the higher power- can lead individuals to a meaningful and fulfilling life. Forming these connections requires effort, mindfulness, and compassion towards oneself and others. By fostering these connections, individuals can improve their emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing, gain inner peace, and lead a more fulfilling life. | eng | 68944b3e-ac9f-4e42-be68-e61b7760d567 | https://www.newzealandrabbitclub.net/what-does-intimacy-mean-spiritually/ |
Faith and Fantasy dramatic paintings of Piero di Cosimo (1462-1522) once ignited the imagination of Florence. In Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects, Vasari said his work had "both draughtsmanship and grace," adding, "it is certain that Piero was a great master of colouring in oils." Today, though, the artist is overshadowed by many of his Renaissance contemporaries.
Piero di Cosimo: The Poetry of Painting in Renaissance Florence, now at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., was co-organized by the Uffizi Gallery. The retrospective includes loans from American museums, important paintings from the Uffizi, as well as altarpieces from Italian churches and paintings from smaller museums in Italy.
Both Piero's biblical and mythological scenes ooze with theatricality. The altarpiece "Madonna and Child Enthroned with Saints Peter, John the Baptist, Dominic and Nicholas of Bari," c. 1481-1485, was commissioned for a small church west of Florence. The stage-like setting of this picture features Mary and the Christ child on an elevated throne with four saints arranged symmetrically around them. As the child raises two tiny fingers in blessing, his plump body is bathed in a spotlight that casts shadows on the folds of his skin.

The realism in this composition is impressive, conveying each character's individuality. Tiny details are precisely executed down to the metallic shine on St. Peter's keys, the reflections on gold orbs held in St. Nicholas' hand, and the turrets of a castle on a faraway hill.
On the left side of the altarpiece, Saint Peter presents Saint Dominic to Mary. Saint Dominic holds a stem of white lilies over his shoulder, a symbol of the Spanish saint's chastity. John the Baptist, clad in animal skin, holds his staff in one hand and points at Christ with the other, guiding the viewer's eye to the center of the composition. The three golden orbs held by a kneeling St. Nicholas represent dowries that St. Nicholas provided for the daughters of a poor family. A glass vase of flowers, every tiny leaf and petal carefully described, is placed along the central axis of the altarpiece.
This painting was influenced by the robust international commerce then taking place between Florence and Bruges. The dissemination of Flemish paintings and prints excited a number of artists in Italy at the time, including Piero. In particular, Hugo van der Goes's Portinari Altarpiece in a Florentine church seems to have had a profound influence on Piero. In "Madonna and Child Enthroned," Piero adopted a number of Flemish painting techniques, including fine naturalistic details, cool Northern light and a rich color palette combining tempera paint, then widely used in Italy, with oil paint, the material of choice in Early Netherlandish painting. The vase of flowers centered at the bottom of Piero's altarpiece echoes the flowers at the base of van der Goes's Portinari triptych.

Piero painted "The Adoration of the Child," c. 1490-1500, in a large tondo format. As Mary kneels before her sleeping baby, her rich blue robes fall softly around her arms. Behind the child is a tall outcropping of dark rocks with an open portal, foreshadowing Christ's entombment. At the base of the picture, tadpoles swimming in a clear pool symbolize rebirth and transformation.
Piero's mythological paintings were especially theatrical. Vasari said Piero's "strange fauns, satyrs, sylvan gods, little boys, and bacchanals" have "great grace and most vivid truth to nature." In "The Discovery of Honey," c.1500, Bacchus and Ariadne are accompanied by a bawdy group of satyrs —men, women and children with the legs and tails of goats—who bang on kitchen pans to attract a swarm of bees to a hollow tree. Dozens of comical figures fill this canvas with raucous activity. A gnarled old tree with large empty hollows and leafless spindly limbs prefigures Dali's surrealist landscapes. The companion to this panel, "The Misfortunes of Silenus," c. 1500, was so sexually explicit that Piero later toned it down, covering up some risqué elements.
Another eccentric work, the "Liberation of Andromeda," c. 1510-1513, was commissioned by the Strozzi family to decorate the wedding chamber of Filippo Strozzi, the Younger, and Clarice de' Medici. In this otherworldly picture, Andromeda, promised as a sacrifice to Neptune, is topless, bound to an anthropomorphic tree trunk. A giant sea monster, complete with a corkscrew tail, large webbed feet, and protruding fangs, thrashes nearby in the sea. Perseus is depicted in a time-lapse sequence, shown both flying through the air in his winged sandals and landed on the back of the sea monster, striking the beast with a sword. At the bottom the painting, Perseus appears again, now as hero, winning the hand of Andromeda as the whole company rejoices. Fanciful musical instruments play for the celebration, one figure blowing through the straw of a clarinet-like tube that's connected by a swan's head to guitar strings.

Maybe Piero di Cosimo's reputation faded because his paintings are so idiosyncratic. Whatever the reason, the quirky artworks in this comprehensive exhibition, with their clear Northern influence, unlike anything else produced in Renaissance Italy, offer a welcome introduction to an original talent | eng | db47aff3-1722-442f-8203-5b898d04e880 | https://www.nysun.com/article/arts-faith-and-fantasy |
Finding Apprenticeships
Sometimes, the best way to learn how to do a job is to get hands-on experience. Apprenticeships enable new workers to gain career-specific skills, train with experienced mentors and get paid while doing it. Earn-while-you-learn programs are fantastic options for high school graduates, military veterans and those pursuing higher education, as they provide a variety of training opportunities for in-demand occupations and pay good wages.
What are apprenticeships?
Apprenticeships are typically 2-to-6-year programs that provide on-the-job training and employer-driven education for specific occupations. Business involvement is a key part of apprenticeship programs. Some employers choose to manage apprenticeships on their own, while others partner with labor-management and industry associations to help with operations. Apprentices receive hands-on training from experienced journeyworkers to gain the specific skills needed for the occupation. Beyond hands-on training, apprentices receive related instruction for technical and academic competencies. This instruction, provided by local colleges and institutions or by the employer, is at least 144 hours and is integrated into the training program.
What are the benefits of apprenticeships?
One attractive characteristic of apprenticeships is the pay. Instead of paying tuition—and potentially acquiring debt through student loans, apprentices are paid by their sponsoring employer. In fact, apprentices' wages increase as they meet benchmarks based on competency or hours worked. The Florida Department of Education reports that apprentices made an average exit wage of more than $49,000 for the 2021-2022 program year. After an apprenticeship is completed, workers are set up for continued success with an average starting salary of $60,000, according to Apprenticeship Florida.
Another key benefit of apprenticeship programs is the completion certificate. The Florida Department of Education issues a nationally recognized Certificate of Apprenticeship to each graduate of a registered apprenticeship program. Additionally, many apprentices are given the opportunity to pursue industry-recognized or postsecondary credentials through their classes and related instruction, so they can continue post-secondary pursuits.
While the completion certificate and other credentials are valuable if the apprentice is searching for a new job, it is possible that the company who trained the apprentice will extend a job offer. Since apprenticeship training is highly specialized for that role, it often benefits the company to hire an apprentice rather than searching externally.
Earn Up is a great place to start your apprenticeship search as you evaluate potential career pathways and training options. Apprentice Florida and CareerSource Northeast Florida are important partners that provide helpful resources. ApprenticeshipUSA is the national one-stop source for apprenticeship information, and they have a Job Finder that allows you to search by occupation or location.
Northeast Florida has many apprenticeship opportunities that vary in industry, length and style of training. As the region grows, in-demand jobs will continue to search for qualified candidates. Completing an apprenticeship program is a smart option for gaining the necessary skills, credentials and confidence needed on your pathway to success | eng | d15cee62-5fd0-41b4-8550-18762e153fc6 | https://earnup.org/finding-apprenticeships/ |
Abstract: Emotion is an important attribute in music information retrieval. Deep learning methods have been widely used in the automatic recognition of music emotion. Most of the studies focus on the audio data, the role of lyrics in music emotion classification remains under-appreciated. Due to the richness of English language resources, most previous studies were based on English lyrics but rarely in Chinese. This study proposes an approach without specific training for the Chinese lyrics emotional classification task: using transfer learning to improve deep neural networks, BERT pre-training model, for the emotion classification in Chinese lyrics. The experimental results show that directly using BERT to build an emotion classification model of CVAT only reach 50% of the classification accuracy. However, using BERT with transfer learning from CVAW, CVAP, to CVAT can achieve 71% classification accuracy.
Abstract: Technology is changing the way we consume information and entertainment. YouTube streaming video services provide a discussion function that allows video publishers to know what matters most to the people they want to love their brand. Through comments, video publishers can better understand the audience's thoughts and even help video publishers improve their video quality. We propsoe a classifier based on machine learning and BERT to automatically detect YouTuber preferences, video preferences, and excitement levels. In order to make high performance of models, we use a pretrained YouTuber embeddings to enhance performance, which is trained in advance based on roughly 175,000 pieces of videos' comments that contain YouTubers' name. YouTuber embeddings can capture some of the semantics and character of the relation between YouTubers. Experimental results show that the performances of machine learning-based models with YouTuber embeddings have improved overall accuracy and F1-score on all sentiment classications. The result validates that YouTuber embedding training is significantly helpful when detecting audience sentiment towards YouTubers. On the contrary, BERT model cannot perfectly deal with the polarity classificational tasks when using YouTubers embeddings. However, the BERT model construction is more suitable for addressing multi-dimensional classification tasks, such as the five-labels classification task used in this task. In conclusion, the comprehensive sentiment detection task on the YouTube video streaming service platform can improve performance by the proposed multi-dimensional sentiment indicators and our solution to modify the structure on classifiers.
Abstract: The masking-based speech enhancement method pursues a multiplicative mask that applies to the spectrogram of input noise-corrupted utterance, and a deep neural network (DNN) is often used to learn the mask. In particular, the features commonly used for automatic speech recognition can serve as the input of the DNN to learn the well-behaved mask that significantly reduce the noise distortion of processed utterances. This study proposes to preprocess the input speech features for the ideal ratio mask (IRM)-based DNN by lowpass filtering in order to alleviate the noise components. In particular, we employ the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to decompose the temporal speech feature sequence and scale down the detail coefficients, which correspond to the high-pass portion of the sequence. Preliminary experiments conducted on a subset of TIMIT corpus reveal that the proposed method can make the resulting IRM achieve higher speech quality and intelligibility for the babble noise-corrupted signals compared with the original IRM, indicating that the lowpass filtered temporal feature sequence can learn a superior IRM network for speech enhancement.
Abstract: In recent years, speech synthesis system can generate speech with high speech quality. However, multi-speaker text-to-speech (TTS) system still require large amount of speech data for each target speaker. In this study, we would like to construct a multi-speaker TTS system by incorporating two sub modules into artificial neural network-based speech synthesis system to alleviate this problem. First module is to add the speaker embedding into encoding module of the end-to-end TTS framework while using small amount of the speech data of the training speakers. For speaker embedding method, in our study, two speaker embedding methods, namely speaker verification embedding and voice conversion embedding, are compared for deciding which one is suitable for the personalized TTS system. Besides, we substituted the conventional post-net module, which is conventionally adopted to enhance the output spectrum sequence, to a post-filter network, which is further improving the speech quality of the generated speech utterance. Finally, experiment results showed that the speaker embedding is useful by adding it into encoding module and the resultant speech utterance indeed perceived as the target speaker. Also, the post-filter network not only improving the speech quality and also enhancing the speaker similarity of the generated speech utterances. The constructed TTS system can generate a speech utterance of the target speaker in fewer than 2 seconds. In the future, other feature such as prosody information will be incorporated to help the TTS framework to improve the performance..
Abstract: We present several novel approaches to answer Chinese elementary school social studies multiple choice questions. Although BERT shows excellent performance on various reading comprehension tasks, it handles some kinds of questions poorly, in particular negation, all-of-the-above, and none-of-the-above questions. We thus propose a novel framework to cascade BERT with preprocessor and answer-picker/selector modules to address these cases. Experimental results show the proposed approaches effectively improve the performance of BERT, and thus demonstrate the feasibility of supplementing BERT with additional modules. | eng | 63c8e10d-ee86-4c91-82e7-3a10e2d0d3b6 | https://www.aclclp.org.tw/clclp/v26n2.htm |
They left out what I think might have been the best one (or is it two) in one of the best episodes of the series. Liz is preparing to go to a high school reunion and thinks back to how mean everyone was to her. Later in the episode, another set of memories by her peers paints a rather different picture. I particularly appreciated it because I think a lot of us who were unpopular in our younger years often forget to take into account the role we played in it. Specifically when we were so used to being rejected, we would sometimes pre-emptively be antagonistic against people that might have actually been reaching out to us. | eng | c6dd0178-b7a7-4b90-9488-5c07aa4ecc50 | https://www.hitcoffee.com/file/2379/ |

As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, Shimano does not market their reels, including the Vanford, as completely waterproof. However, they are designed to be highly water-resistant and able to withstand the rigors of fishing in wet conditions. Shimano employs advanced sealing technologies and materials to protect the internal components of their reels from water intrusion.
Reels like the Vanford are often equipped with features such as gasket seals, waterproof drag systems, and specially designed components to prevent water from entering and causing damage. While these measures make the reels suitable for fishing in rainy or wet environments, they are not meant to be submerged or exposed to water for extended periods.
It's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for care and maintenance of your reel to ensure its longevity and optimal performance. If you're looking for a reel that can handle more extreme water exposure or underwater use, you might want to consider specialized waterproof or submersible reels designed for those purposes. Always check the latest information from Shimano or consult with a reputable fishing tackle retailer for the most up-to-date details on the water-resistant features of their reels, including the Vanford.
Shimano stradic vs Vanford: What is the difference between Vanford 1000 and 2000?
As of my last knowledge update in September 2021, the Shimano Vanford series includes various reel sizes, including the 1000 and 2000 models. These numbers refer to the reel's size classification and capacity, with larger numbers indicating larger reels designed for different fishing applications. However, the exact specifications and features of these models may have evolved since then, so it's always a good idea to consult the latest information from Shimano's official website or other reliable sources.
Here are some general differences that often exist between the Vanford 1000 and 2000 models:
Size and Capacity: The number in the model name corresponds to the reel's size classification. The Vanford 1000 is smaller than the Vanford 2000. As a result, the 2000 model would typically have a slightly larger line capacity and may be better suited for targeting slightly larger fish or situations where you need a bit more line.
Weight: The Vanford 1000 is likely to be lighter than the Vanford 2000 due to its smaller size. This could be advantageous for anglers looking to reduce the overall weight of their setup or for those who prefer a more compact reel.
Drag and Power: Generally, larger reels like the Vanford 2000 may have a slightly more robust drag system and power due to their larger size. This can be beneficial when dealing with larger or stronger fish that require more drag force to control.
Line Retrieval Rate: The Vanford 2000 might have a slightly faster line retrieval rate compared to the 1000 model due to its larger spool and overall size. This can be advantageous when you need to quickly bring in your line.
Target Species and Techniques: The choice between the Vanford 1000 and 2000 models can also depend on the target species you're pursuing and the fishing techniques you plan to use. Smaller models are often preferred for finesse fishing, light tackle situations, or when targeting smaller fish, while larger models might be more suitable for medium-sized species and a wider range of fishing techniques.
Remember that the information provided here is based on general trends and assumptions about reel sizes and specifications.

Can a Shimano Stradic be used in saltwater?
Yes, Shimano Stradic spinning reels are designed to be used in saltwater environments. However, it's important to note that while the Stradic is well-suited for saltwater fishing, proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure its longevity and optimal performance in such conditions.
Here are some tips to consider when using a Shimano Stradic reel in saltwater:
Rinse After Use: After each saltwater fishing session, it's recommended to thoroughly rinse the reel with fresh water. This helps remove salt and debris that can potentially cause corrosion or damage over time.
Dry and Lubricate: After rinsing, allow the reel to dry completely before storing it. Once dry, you can apply a thin layer of reel oil or grease to the necessary parts as recommended in the manufacturer's instructions. Lubricating the reel helps prevent corrosion and maintains smooth operation.
Regular Maintenance: Perform regular maintenance tasks such as cleaning, lubricating, and checking for any signs of wear. Pay close attention to areas that are prone to saltwater exposure, such as the drag system, bail arm, and roller bearing.
Use Reel Covers: Consider using a reel cover when storing or transporting your Shimano Stradic reel. This can provide an extra layer of protection against dust, moisture, and physical damage.
Sealed Bearings and Components: Some higher-end models of Shimano Stradic reels may feature sealed bearings and other components that offer extra protection against saltwater intrusion. These models are designed to provide increased durability and performance in harsh conditions.
Avoid Submersion: While the Stradic is designed to handle saltwater, it's not meant to be fully submerged. Avoid immersing the reel in water for extended periods, and try to keep it dry as much as possible.
By following these guidelines and practicing proper care, you can use a Shimano Stradic reel effectively and enjoy reliable performance during your saltwater fishing adventures. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions and guidelines for your specific model to ensure you're taking the best care of your reel | eng | 1eee2d9a-8100-4262-9078-979c4501590b | https://www.bagbybeowulf.com/shimano-stradic-vs-vanford/ |
If you just go off of production history, in the past twenty years, "A Man of No Importance" has been produced internationally, including on the West End, so there's not a question it has entered the repertoire. There's no rule that a show has to be immensely popular to be a revival.
If you're going by it being akin to "Violet", and "Violet" was a revival, then that tells you that your earlier criteria isn't the one that is used in making these decisions, and we should expect it in Revival.
I think the math gets much trickier with something like "Here Lies Love" (which I think will be seen as new, but is rather on the cusp), but this one seems pretty straightforward. | eng | b64aa2b3-5fde-47ed-b7d3-93392f72da34 | https://www.talkinbroadway.com/allthatchat_new/d.php?id=2562250 |
What Happens if You Notice 0 Upload Speed? Quick Fixes
Once I faced the issue of 0 upload speed, I found some of the best solutions and fixed my connection speed. Let's have a complete overview of the 0 upload speed issue here.
Just as I was working on a project, I realized that my internet required fixing. I did a speed test and saw that my upload speed was at 0.0 Mbps. It couldn't be right, so I did some troubleshooting and found something wrong with my modem.
I called my internet service provider, and they could send someone to fix it within the hour. The wiring was found to be faulty and required replacement. Fortunately, the problem was quickly resolved and my internet connection was restored promptly.
0 upload speed can be frustrating
A slow upload speed can be incredibly frustrating, particularly when you're trying to do something that requires a lot of data transfer. Whether you're trying to upload a video or download a large file, a slow connection can damage your plans.
In addition to being frustrating, a slow upload speed can also be expensive. You're wasting your money if you're paying for a high-speed connection but need to get the required speeds.
It is fortunate that there exist methods to enhance the speed at which you upload. You can always have the fast speeds you need by troubleshooting your connection and ensuring that your computer is up to date.
Why Do You have no upload internet speed?
Your internet connection could be slower than usual due to various reasons. One possibility is that there is an issue with your ISP. Another possibility is that your router needs to be reset. The probable cause for this issue is that your network has an excessive number of connected devices.
The more devices added to your network, the less available bandwidth there is as each device consumes a portion of it. It can result in slow speeds, particularly for tasks like uploading files. Let's discuss some other issues that can cause 0 upload speed.
Check your modem
One of the first things you should do if you're having trouble with your internet speed is to check your modem. If your modem is more than a few years old, it may be time for an upgrade. Modems may become obsolete and unable to offer the same quality of service they previously provided.
Check your router
If you have a router, check to see if it's up to date. Like modems, routers can also become outdated and unable to provide the same level of service.
Moreover, ensure that your wireless router is appropriately set up and no obstructions interfere with your connection if you have one.
Check for viruses or malware
Another potential reason for slow internet speeds is viruses or malware on your computer. These can bog down your system and cause many problems, including slow internet speeds. To avoid such problems, make sure to conduct a virus scan on your computer at regular intervals.
Check your internet plan
Sometimes, the problem is something other than your equipment or internet plan. If you're on a lower-speed plan, you will be able to get a different speed than those on a higher-speed plan.
If you need to figure out what speed you're supposed to be getting, contact your internet service provider, and they'll be able to tell you.
Check for other issues
There are several other potential issues that could be causing slow internet speeds. These include bad weather, line noise, or even ISP network problems.
If you've checked all of the above and still can't get fast speeds, then it's worth contacting your ISP to see if any other issues are causing the problem.
Quick Fixes if you notice no upload internet speed
Upload speeds can be excruciatingly slow, no matter what you try to do online. That's why it's essential to know some quick fixes if you suddenly find yourself with a sluggish upload speed.
Quick fix #1: Restart your computer
To check if restarting your computer improves your upload speed, try it, as it is a simple and fast solution. If you are still facing problems, attempt to reboot your modem or router.
Quick fix #2: Check your internet connection
If you're experiencing a slow upload speed, there are a few things you can do to try to improve it. First, check your internet connection to ensure it's active and working properly.
Next, restart your router and modem to see if that helps. If you're still having issues, contact your internet service provider to see if they can help.
Quick fix #3: Check for interference
If you're noticing a lack of upload speed, you should first check for any potential interference. It can be anything from power lines and electrical equipment to trees and metal objects.
If you find that there is indeed something interfering with your signal, you'll need to take steps to correct the issue. It may involve moving your router to a different location or changing your home's wiring.
Quick fix #4: Update your router's firmware
If you're noticing that it's taking longer for files to upload or that video quality is deteriorating, then it's time to update your router's firmware. Firmware updates usually take a few minutes and can be done through your router's web interface.
How do I fix no upload speed?
One of the most common causes of slow upload speeds is an outdated modem or router. If you have had your modem or router for more than a few years, it may be time for an upgrade. Another potential cause of slow upload speeds is interference from other devices in your home.
When numerous devices are linked to your network, they might contend for bandwidth and cause a reduction in your connection speed. To fix this, try disconnecting or connecting some of your devices to a different network.
Is 1 Mbps upload speed slow?
Nowadays, speedy internet connections are anticipated by numerous individuals. Nevertheless, an upload speed of 1 Mbps is considered satisfactory in some areas. It's enough to stream video or audio, browse the web, and even play online games.
Naturally, individuals will always require higher speeds, particularly for activities such as streaming 4K videos or gaming. An upload speed of 1 Mbps should suffice for the typical user. So if you find yourself with a 1 Mbps connection, don't worry – you're not stuck in the slow lane.
What happens if your upload speed is 0?
If your upload speed is zero, you cannot transmit any information through your internet connection. Attempting to upload a file or share a photo with another person can be exasperating.
Nevertheless, there exist certain methods to circumvent this issue. Using Dropbox or Google Drive is a feasible alternative that doesn't necessitate an internet connection. One alternative is to connect to an alternate WiFi network or utilize a wired Ethernet connection.
Is an upload speed of 1 GOOD?
The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, including the specific application you are using and the amount of data you need to transfer. For example, a 1 Mbps upload speed should be more than sufficient if you are browsing the web or sending emails.
However, you may need a higher upload speed if you upload large files or stream video. While an upload speed of 1 Mbps is generally deemed satisfactory, it may only be optimal for some purposes.To put it in perspective, most broadband connections have an upload speed of around 10 Mbps.
Is 0.1 Mbps upload good?
When it comes to uploading speeds, 0.1 Mbps could be better. It's pretty slow. In context, an upload speed of approximately 10 Mbps is typical for most broadband connections. A typical broadband connection is 100 times faster than 0.1 Mbps.
A broadband connection would enable you to upload a file much faster compared to a 0.1 Mbps connection, which would take ten times longer. If you want a speedy and dependable internet connection, 0.1 Mbps is not the answer, as even a dial-up link is generally quicker than that products you buy.

Why a martech company is launching an all-in-one tool to simplify, measure the gaming advertising landscape
Marketers are racing to help brands better understand the opportunities in gaming, and a new player has officially joined the scramble.
Marketing technology firm Livewire today has launched Gameview, an ad tech platform that it describes as an all-in-one solution for advertisers hoping to reach gamers. As brands gradually branch out into gaming, Livewire's new platform is the latest example of how marketers are rolling out products to streamline the organization and measurement of advertising in the medium.
At its core, Gameview is a data management platform that allows users to build, activate and measure the performance of gaming advertising campaigns in all their various forms, including intrinsic advertising and more immersive metaverse activations. The tool is platform-agnostic, meaning it can measure the performance of gaming campaigns wherever they happen — including premium titles such as "Call of Duty" or "Mario Kart," if or when those games' developers decide to implement in-game ads. The catch? Those developers have to agree to let Gameview check their ads. No small task. | eng | 9eec633c-0068-4491-a143-bf4c2578378e | https://harro.com/2023/11/14/why-a-martech-company-is-launching-an-all-in-one-tool-to-simplify-measure-the-gaming-advertising-landscape/ |

While far from being an exhaustive list, here are 10 Black people who have made their mark on German history and the modern day.
Louis Brody (1892-1951) was a Cameroonian-born German actor who co-founded and was actively involved with Afrikanischer Hilfsversein (African Relief Organisation), an organisation that spoke out against racial discrimination in Germany during the 1920s.
His film career was plagued by several racist roles in propaganda films during the Nazi regime which enabled him to support himself financially. Nevertheless, he paved the way for other Afro-German actors, and he continued working in film in Berlin up until his death.
Theodor Michael (1925-2019), at 18, was forced into working in Nazi labour camps after being declared stateless as a result of his skin colour. He was also often featured in Nazi propaganda films as means of survival.
After the war, he went on to study political science and became a prominent journalist, notably as head editor of the "African Bulletin" magazine.
He was also a civil servant and was actively involved in the Black community throughout his life, pushing for the recognition of Black people as Germans.
AudreLorde (1934-1992), although originally from the United States, made a profound impact on the Black German movement and became an influence on many Black German female writers.
A writer, feminist and civil rights activist, Lorde came to Germany in the 1980s and spent most of her time in Berlin organising community events and bringing Black German women together.
The award-winning documentary "Audre Lorde: The Berlin Years 1984–1992" explores her influence on the movement.
MayAyim (1960-1996) was one such writer, as well as a poet, educator and activist. She published her thesis as a renowned collection of personal essays under the title Farbe bekennen (English title: Showing Our Colours: Afro-German Women Speak Out), which recounted the experiences of many Afro-German women in German society. She also helped co-found the Berlin chapter of the ISD.
The May-Ayim-Ufer along the Spree River in Berlin-Kreuzberg is named after her.
Other writers includeIka Hügel-Marshall, who wrote about her experience growing up black in post-war Germany. All were active in the ADEFRA (Afro-Deutsche Frauen) organisation.
Vera Heyer (1946-1995) began collecting and cataloguing the works of African, Afro-diasporic, and Black authors in the 1970s and invited members of the Black community into her small apartment in Mainz, where she created a makeshift library.
Her vision of turning them into a permanent library came to fruition after her death, with the opening of the Vera Heyer Archive in 2014.
The collection is now housed in the Each One Teach One (EOTO) Library in Berlin's African Quarter.
KarambaDiaby (1961-) is an SPD politician who, in 2013, made history by becoming the first member of the German Bundestag of African descent alongside Charles Huber of the CDU.

Both politicians paved the way for many other Afro-Germans to make their way into the Bundestag, with four being elected to the role in 2021, including the first Black woman, Awet Tesfaiesus.
.@Awet Tesfaiesus has become the first African-born black woman to be elected to the German Parliament. She's a member of the Green Party.
SteffiJones (1972-) is former football player who played for, and went on to manage, Germany's women's national team.
She featured in the documentary film Schwarze Adler in 2021, speaking on her experiences as an Afro-German woman in football and bringing attention to the racism she's faced. She has since become an advocate and role model for women and Black people in sports. | eng | f5ba869f-b27d-41c7-8536-d67ecb927ff7 | https://imageproxy.thelocal.com/20220211/10-influential-black-people-who-have-made-their-mark-on-german-history/ |
Pair the OX app device with OX's Wi-Fi hotspot. Go to the Wi-Fi system settings within the OX app device (the iPad or Mac/Windows computer system settings, not settings within the OX app), then select OX's Wi-Fi hotspot and enter the unique hotspot password on OX's rear panel.
Can you use UA ox without amp?
UA OX – Can I use it without an amp? No, you can't. There is no amp simulation within the OX, it requires connectivity into a real amplifier ( preferably valve rather than solid-state ).
How does ox amp work?
OX receives signal via your amp's speaker output. Its balanced 1/4″ stereo outputs connect to studio channels or PA systems. It has its own speaker output, so you can send attenuated levels back to your amp's speaker for meltdown tones at any volume. There are also digital S/PDIF outs.
Can you use UA ox without a cab?
Yes. OX offers an amazing way to get a fully-saturated amplifier tone through your speaker at manageable volume levels, but it is also completely safe to use without a speaker cabinet connected at all. OX will still properly load your amplifier, even without a speaker connected to OX.
How do I connect my ox box to my amp?
In this case, plug the internal speaker into one side of the coupler, and an additional 1⁄4" speaker cable (male/male) into the other side of the coupler. Plug the other end of the additional speaker cable into OX's "TO SPEAKER" output jack.
How do I connect my ox to audio interface?
Connect stereo headphones to the 1⁄4″ jack on OX's front panel. Connect OX's rear panel S/PDIF digital output(s) to the digital input(s) of a computer audio interface or other digital audio gear. The optical TOSLINK and coaxial RCA outputs can both be used at the same time. DON'T connect OX outputs to the amp!
What does the universal audio ox do?
A Complete Guitar Recording System OX's front-panel, six-position RIG control allows you to quickly choose from complete setups — including emulated speaker cabinets, close mics, ambient room mics, and up to four simultaneous studio effects.
Motor loads and other loads require reactive power to convert the flow of electrons into useful work. When there is not enough reactive power, the voltage sags down and it is not possible to push the power demanded by loads through the lines.
Are LED lights resistive or inductive?
LED lights are a type of resistive load, but the way that a driver works to convert AC to DC current stops them from being purely resistive with a power factor of 1. | eng | d5def2fe-5ff8-49f8-8af6-67230a778c3b | https://eleanorrigby-movie.com/how-do-i-update-my-ua-ox-firmware/ |

Wheat School: Targeting the ideal growth stage for best PGR results
July 9, 2022 by RealAgriculture Agronomy Team
Research shows plant growth regulators (PGRs) are most effective — and least likely to cause damage — when they're applied with precise timing, and that stage can pass quickly as a cereal crop develops.
There are three questions to answer before applying a PGR, explains Anne Kirk, cereal specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, in this video recorded at the 2022 Manitoba Crop Diagnostic School at Carman.
The first question: is the crop under stress? "We know there can be negative effects from PGRs, whether it's a yield decrease or some injury on the plants, if we have PGRs applied when the plants are under stress, whether that's drought, excess moisture, heat, insects, or diseases," she notes.
Second, is the crop at risk of lodging? This will depend on fertility and whether conditions are conducive for growth and good yield potential.
The third question, and the focus of this Western Canada-focused Wheat School episode: is the crop at the right stage?
"We see the best effects from plant growth regulators when they're applied at the ideal timing, which is between growth stage 31 and 32," explains Kirk.
To determine which stage wheat or other cereals are at, Kirk suggests removing the leaves or tillers from a few primary stems, then use a knife to slice down the stem lengthwise to find the tillering node, the first node, the second node if it's present, and the developing spike or panicle.
Growth stage (GS) 30 — the early side of ideal timing — occurs when the first node is less than 1 cm above the tillering node.
"When we're at growth stage 31, the first node is at least 1 cm above the tillering node, and within growth stage 31, you'll actually see the second node start to develop. We only hit growth stage 32 when the second node is 2 cm above the first node," demonstrates Kirk.
"Depending on the environmental conditions the plant can go through those stages pretty quick, so I really recommend people cut into those plants and identify which stage they're at if you want to get the most benefit out of a plant growth regulator," she says.
The two PGRs that are approved for cereal crops in Western Canada — under the brand names Manipulator and Moddus — are registered for application until growth stage 39, notes Kirk, however "that's when people see the most negative effects, when they're applying it right at the end of that window."
If applying a PGR, Kirk also recommends considering an on-farm trial, ideally with replicated strips, to assess the benefit of the treatment. | eng | 5870ee49-5e00-4961-ad9f-7e70c0bd218c | https://www.realagriculture.com/2022/07/wheat-school-targeting-the-ideal-growth-stage-for-best-pgr-results/ |

Your ideas actually aren't that misplaced. Don't get me wrong, Stack Overflow doesn't need its own Twitter account. In fact, I'd almost venture to say that none of the sites really need their own Twitter accounts. However, having a human Tweeting questions is a good thing that will benefit the community a lot more than a bot will.
Why? Because it's a bot. How many automated Twitter bots would you say you follow? How many are you excited to receive spam from? The fact is, bots just aren't that exciting. Maybe their owners are excited about them, but the actual general population probably is uninterested.
However, if you're a great programmer and have a lot of programmer friends who follow you on Twitter, then when you find and share interesting questions, chances are that will set off your Twitter friends' radar, and chances are they may decide to see what you find interesting. You're a person. People are interesting. Bots are not.
So, in short, we have millions of users who could possibly be Tweeting questions, and this scales much better than a bot. Hope this helps!
Sorry @PopularDemand, I'm actually against adding social networking features on Stack Exchange itself. Let Twitter and Facebook handle that stuff as it's what they do. People do better at what they specialize in, and the same goes for businesses. ;) Thanks for the link though. | eng | d0c401ce-5529-474b-8958-1332813ad81d | https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/155047/why-doesnt-stack-overflow-have-twitter |

The Ideal Spacing For Planting Peach Trees: A Guide
Gardening is a great way to spend time outdoors, and growing your own fruit can be especially rewarding. When it comes to peach trees, there is an important consideration to make in order to ensure successful growth: spacing. Properly spacing peach trees is essential for healthy growth, as it allows air and sunlight to reach them, and prevents disease. So, how far apart should peach trees be planted? Fortunately, there are some simple guidelines to follow in order to ensure your peach trees thrive.
What is the minimum distance required for peach trees to be planted?
When planting peach trees, gardeners should be aware of the necessary minimum distance between trees for optimal growth and yields. The distance between peach trees is important for several reasons, such as improving air circulation, reducing competition for light and resources, and promoting pollinators. In general, the minimum distance required for peach trees to be planted is 8-12 feet (2.4-3.6 m).
In order to ensure that your peach trees get enough space, measure the distance between each tree in the row and make sure it is at least 8-12 feet. You should also leave enough space between the rows so that you can access the trees for maintenance and harvest. A good rule of thumb is to leave at least 20 feet (6 m) between each row of peach trees.
Another important factor to consider when spacing peach trees is the type of rootstock used. If you are using a dwarf rootstock, the trees will be smaller and the distance between them can be reduced to 8 feet (2.4 m). If you are using a semi-dwarf rootstock, the distance should be increased to 12 feet (3.6 m).
In addition to spacing your peach trees, it is important to provide adequate light and air circulation. Peach trees should be placed in a location that receives at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day. If the trees are too close together, they can block out some of the light and reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches each tree. To ensure adequate air circulation, space the trees so that there is at least two feet (0.6 m) between each tree.
Finally, when planting peach trees, it is important to consider the location of pollinators. If you want to maximize pollination and fruit set, place the trees in an area that is close to a natural source of pollinators, such as a bee hive or a flowering meadow.
By following these guidelines for spacing peach trees, gardeners can ensure that their trees have enough room to grow and can produce high quality fruit. With proper spacing and placement, peach trees can provide delicious fruits for many years.
Are there any special considerations when planting peach trees close together?
When it comes to planting peach trees close together, there are several special considerations that gardeners should be aware of. Planting peach trees close together can provide many advantages, such as increased pollination efficiency and a more efficient use of resources, but it is important to plan ahead and be mindful of potential issues.
One key consideration when planting peach trees close together is the potential for overcrowding. Peach trees need adequate space between them to ensure that each tree has access to all the resources it needs. If trees are planted too close together they can compete for resources, such as light, water, and nutrients, which can lead to poor tree health and lower yields. It is best to plant peach trees at least 8-10 feet apart, and larger trees may need up to 15 feet of space.
Another consideration when planting peach trees close together is the potential for diseases and pests. Peach trees in close proximity are more likely to be affected by common diseases and pests, such as peach leaf curl, brown rot, and aphids. To minimize the potential for disease and pests, it is important to inspect trees regularly and take steps to control any problems quickly. Regular pruning of the trees is also important to ensure good air circulation and reduce the risk of disease.
Finally, when planting peach trees close together, it is important to consider the variety of trees being planted. Some varieties of peach trees, such as those with self-fertilizing flowers, are more suited to close planting than others. It is also important to be mindful of the size of the tree when it is fully grown and choose a variety that will not outgrow the space available.
By taking special considerations into account when planting peach trees close together, gardeners can reap the many rewards of this efficient planting technique. With careful planning, the right variety of trees, and regular maintenance, gardeners can enjoy the increased yields and other benefits that come with close planting of peach trees.
What is the maximum distance recommended for peach trees to be planted?
Planting peach trees can be a rewarding experience for gardeners, but it is important to understand the maximum distance recommended for peach trees to be planted. This article will provide gardeners with scientific, real experience, step-by-step and examples to help them determine the ideal planting distance for their peach trees.
The maximum distance recommended for peach trees to be planted depends on the variety of the tree. Generally speaking, most varieties of peach trees should be planted at least 15-20 feet apart. Dwarf varieties of peach trees should be planted 6-10 feet apart.
In order to determine the ideal planting distance for your peach trees, it is important to consider the root system of the tree. Peach trees have an extensive root system that can spread up to two times the diameter of the crown of the tree. Therefore, it is important to account for the root system when determining the minimum planting distance.
In addition, it is important to consider the soil type when planting peach trees. If the soil is sandy and well-drained, the recommended planting distance may be slightly closer. Conversely, if the soil is heavy and poorly drained, the minimum recommended planting distance should be greater.
Finally, it is also important to consider the size of your peach trees. If you are planting small trees, such as dwarf varieties, closer planting distances are acceptable. However, if you are planting larger trees, such as standard varieties, greater distances should be observed.
In conclusion, the maximum distance recommended for peach trees to be planted depends on the variety, root system, soil type and size of the tree. By considering these factors, gardeners can determine the ideal planting distance for their peach trees.
Is there a difference in spacing requirements between dwarf and standard peach tree varieties?
When it comes to growing peach trees, gardeners often wonder if there is a difference in spacing requirements between dwarf and standard varieties. The answer is yes, there are differences in spacing requirements between dwarf and standard peach trees.
In terms of growing conditions, both dwarf and standard peach trees prefer full sun and well-drained soil. Soil should be amended with compost prior to planting to ensure proper drainage and nutrients. Additionally, both dwarf and standard peach trees should be planted in early spring when the soil is still cool.
When it comes to pruning, dwarf peach trees should be pruned annually in the late winter or early spring to reduce height and increase sun exposure. Standard peach trees should also be pruned annually, but require more extensive pruning to shape the tree and reduce its height.
When it comes to harvesting, both dwarf and standard peach trees can be harvested in the late summer or early fall when the fruit is ripe. Dwarf peach trees typically produce smaller and sweeter fruit, while standard peach trees produce larger and slightly less sweet fruit.
In conclusion, there are differences in spacing requirements, growing conditions, pruning techniques, and harvested fruit size between dwarf and standard peach trees. Gardeners should be aware of these differences to ensure they get the most out of their peach trees.
Are there any benefits to planting peach trees closer together than the recommended distance?
When it comes to planting peach trees, there is an optimal planting distance that should be followed. However, there are some instances in which gardeners may choose to plant their trees closer together than the recommended distance. In this article, we'll discuss the potential benefits of planting peach trees closer together than the recommended distance, as well as a few caveats to keep in mind when doing so.
One of the biggest benefits of planting peach trees closer together than the recommended distance is that it can increase the amount of sunlight each tree receives. This is especially important when planting peach trees in shady spots or areas with limited sunlight. By planting the trees closer together, the trees are able to create a canopy that helps to protect each other from the elements. This is particularly useful in areas where the weather can be unpredictable and harsh.
Another benefit of planting peach trees closer together is that it can help to increase the amount of fruit produced by each tree. When peach trees are planted further apart, there is less competition for resources, such as water, sunlight and nutrients. As a result, each tree is able to produce more fruit. Additionally, when peach trees are planted closer together, it can help to protect the fruit from wind damage and other potential threats.
It's important to note, however, that there are a few potential drawbacks to planting peach trees closer together than the recommended distance. First, it can be more difficult to prune and manage the trees when they're planted closer together. Additionally, the close proximity of the trees can lead to an increased risk of fungal diseases, such as peach leaf curl. Finally, when peach trees are planted too close together, they can begin to compete for resources, leading to decreased fruit production.
In conclusion, while there are certainly benefits to planting peach trees closer together than the recommended distance, it is important to consider the potential drawbacks as well. If you decide to plant your peach trees closer together, be sure to take the necessary precautions to ensure that your trees remain healthy and productive. This includes monitoring for signs of disease, providing adequate nutrition, and pruning and managing the trees regularly. With the right care and maintenance, you can enjoy the benefits of planting peach trees closer together without sacrificing the health and productivity of your trees.
