Bars, Drugs, and Addictions - Godly Entertainment vs. Worldly "Fun"
Some ordinary Christian homeschool dad winds up hopelessly hooked on cocaine. In this riveting edition of Generations, Kevin Swanson draws from a story that could involve any one of us. Do bars represent a biblical world and life view? Why or why not? Some of the root sins relating to addictions are addressed here. Where things begin to fall apart in the minds of a lot of guys is how they define 'taking a break.' They don't start with God's definition of rest and relaxation | eng | c6ee4d55-def7-438b-ac5f-0386ab5a6e3e | https://www.oneplace.com/ministries/generations-radio/listen/bars-drugs-and-addictions-godly-entertainment-vs-worldly-fun-292966.html |

Discover the History and Art of the Gorge
June 10, 2016
A visit to the stunning Columbia River Gorge just wouldn't be complete without visiting at least one of our many unique and entertaining museums. Get a high-level overview of our local museums and some insider tips to visiting so you can perfectly plan your getaway to the Gorge.
Maryhill Museum of Art
The museum's beginnings date back to 1907 when Samuel Hill purchased 5,300 acres of land with hopes of establishing a Quaker community near the Columbia River. Hill is also responsible for the Columbia River Highway. By 1914, work had begun on his mansion through his building company, Maryhill Land Company.
The name Maryhill comes from the combination of his daughter's name and the hilly location. Though his dreams of a community were dashed by 1917, a friend of his convinced him to turn the mansion into an art museum and in 1926 it was dedicated by Queen Marie of Romania.
Today, the museum houses an impressive collection that spans many eras of history. You'll find permanent exhibitions and rotating special exhibits like The Big Painting Show and American Art Pottery from the Fred L. Mitchell Collection. The permanent exhibits include works of Auguste Rodin, Native American pieces, and an outdoor sculpture collection.
Admission is $9 per adult or $8 for older adults aged 65+. The museum is open in the summer from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Insider tip: Visit on Wednesday to take advantage of the two-fer admission. Ask for the two-fer Wednesday price and enjoy two-for-one pricing. On other days, keep your tickets and present them at wineries for either discounted wine tasting or even free wine tasting at select wineries!
The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day except for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's days. Admission is $14 per adult and they have an on-site gift shop, lounge, and snack bar.
Insider tip: If you want to get hands-on with the vehicles, visit the second Saturday of the month where they bring the crafts out of the hangar and you could help push or pull the antiques out and get them ready for action!
Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum
The Columbia Gorge Discovery Center & Museum takes you back through time and shares the incredible lives of our distinctive wildlife. Some of the permanent exhibits include, the Ice Age, Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area, Native American culture and basketry, Lewis and Clark cargo, early explorers and the Oregon Trail, and so on. They also have special programs and offerings like the live raptor program and hiking and biking along the Riverfront Trail.
The museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day (excluding major holidays) and general admission tickets are only $9.
Insider tip: Bring good walking shoes so you can experience the wonderful trails surrounding the center too. You'll want to budget about two hours of time just for the museum and an additional hour or two for exploring the trails and lakes near it.
Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum
The Columbia Gorge Interpretive Center Museum honors the history of human interaction with the Gorge, from its first inhabitants, the Cascade Chinook, thousands of years ago to the pioneers that recognized its bounty of timber and fish. Spanning 15,000 years of history, the museum has wonderful indoor and outdoor exhibits as well as a museum gift shop.
The museum is open every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with the exception of New Year's, Thanksgiving, and Christmas days. Tickets are only $10 or $8 for seniors aged 60+.
Insider tip: The museum logo is the petroglyph "Tsagaglalal." The real petroglyph is carved into the basalt cliff that overlooks the Columbia River at Columbia Hills State Park. "Tsagaglalal" represents the female chief that watches over the people of this area. You'll see a replica of "Tsagaglalal" in the museum in the First Peoples exhibit.
Be sure to add some time in your travel plans to visit one of our exceptional museums to learn more about the Columbia River Gorge, its people, and rich history. Then, plan on some relaxation in the present in your luxury | eng | 1d9e5407-008e-453a-8463-9354e8b73c78 | https://carsonridgecabins.com/blog/discover-history-art-gorge |
Is Sammy Jankis real?
Teddy stated that Sammy Jankis did exist, but never had a wife. He was in fact faking his condition, and Leonard exposed him as a fraud during the investigation. Leonard then projected his own life, and his accidental killing of his own wife, onto Sammy when remembering the story.
Who killed his wife in Memento?
Teddy, a police officer, has helped and is helping Lenard with his puzzles in order to give his life meaning. Leonard killed his own wife with the insulin shots – she died because of an insulin overdose (Sam Jenkins story).
What condition does Leonard have in Memento?
anterograde amnesia
Leonard, the central character, is focused on finding the man who, during a home invasion, murdered Leonard's wife and crushed Leonard's skull, leaving him with brain damage. The brain damage left Leonard with severe anterograde amnesia. * He remembers nothing between a time shortly after the attack and the present.
Is Memento based on a true story?
Memento is a 2000 American neo-noir psychological thriller film written and directed by Christopher Nolan, and produced by Suzanne and Jennifer Todd….Memento (film)
Memento
Screenplay by
Christopher Nolan
Based on
"Memento Mori" by Jonathan Nolan
Produced by
Suzanne Todd Jennifer Todd
Who is Sammy Jankis really why?
With a name as flexible as John G, anyone can be made to fit the description. Additionally, Teddy explains that Leonard created the name Sammy Jankis to help himself cope with the fact that he put his wife into a coma. Thus, Leonard is Sammy Jankis.
What does Leonard do with his wife's things in Memento?
He then gathered all of his wife's belongings and drove to a wasteland where he burned it all. As he did, he remembered his wife using the different items, and realised that he had probably tried this before and burnt truckloads of his wife's belongings. He realised he would never get over her, due to his memory loss.
Who is the villain in Memento?
Leonard Shelby is the protagonist villain of the 2000 film Memento who suffers from anterograde amnesia, rendering himself unable to remember anything since the night of his wife's tragic death. He seeks revenge against a "John G.", which triggers the story's plot.
Why is Memento backwards?
Memento moves in reverse to mimic the strange affliction of its main character. A home break-in left Leonard's wife dead and him with severe brain damage, a form of short-term memory loss in which he can't create new memories.
What is wrong memento?
The scenes cause identical reactions in the viewer's brain. Summary: In the Christopher Nolan film Memento (2000) the protagonist suffers from long-term memory loss and is unable to retain new memories for no longer than a few minutes. The events unfold in reversed chronological order.
What did Memento get wrong?
Memento, a psychological thriller starring Guy Pierce and directed by Christopher Nolan, is the story of a man who received serious head trauma during his wife's murder and has, as a result, developed anterograde amnesia. Damage to the fornix, hippocampus, or mammillary bodies are the main cause of the amnesia's onset.
What is the moral of memento?
Based on a short story entitled Memento Mori written by Nolan's brother (Nolan, J, c. 2000), the film explores the issues of memory, personal identity, time, truth, moral responsibility, meaning, and the longing for justice. Various scholars have given Memento their stamp of approval by publishing articles on the film.
What is the message in Memento?
Memento is a powerful story about the hold that identity has on us and how it even can transcend the loss of short-term memory. | eng | d580d74c-8497-41dd-9c64-70bc22ca220e | https://mysqlpreacher.com/is-sammy-jankis-real/ |
Set Lists and Books
Content
Set Lists
When you play a live gig, you usually have a list of songs from your repertoire that you want to play through in a pre-defined sequence. OK, there are some of us who simply won't be constrained in their creative freedom, then set lists aren't for you…
Set lists are LivePrompter's way of defining a certain song sequence, for a live performance or a rehearsal, so that the respective song files are displayed in this sequence. Using the next-song button or the universal key, you can then easily step through your set list.
Set lists are also text files (extension ".txt") that are created in the folder "Setlists" within your song folder. The name of a set list file is also the title of the set list and will be displayed in the list selector of the main window.
Within a set list file, every line stands for the file name of a song file, just without the ".txt".
Important: set lists are only references to your song files in your home directory – they don't have their own song files.
Special Lines: Dividers and Instructions
There are two types of special lines in a setlist file that LivePrompter interprets differently:
Dividers: a line that begins and ends with "---", separated from the rest of the line by a space, is called a divider. Dividers are typically used to separate sets within a setlist.
Instructions: a line that begins and ends with "-", separated by a space, is called an instruction. Instructions are typically used for noting stuff that needs to happen during a gig, like making an announcement, changing instruments, waking up the bassist, etc.
Dividers and instructions will be displayed differently in list view, and will be displayed as a separate full page in Song View
This is what a typical set list looks like:
--- Set 1 ---
Fortunate Son
I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For
- change guitars -
The Rising
Taking Care Of Business
--- Set 2 ---
...
This is how such a setlist is then displayed:
Note: "normal" lines in a setlist file (i.e. without "—" or "-" around them) that don't correspond to song file names in your song database will also be treated as comments, so if you find funny comments in your setlist instead of songs, check those lines for typos.
Books
What is a Book and why would I use it?
Books are sub-collections of songs within a home directory. You assign a song to a book by adding the {book:book name} tag to it. You can add a song to multiple books by simply adding multiple such tags to its song file.
Books will be listed in the selection box; when you select a book, its songs will be displayed in alphabetical order.
You can use books for various purposes: if you have one common song directory for multiple bands or projects, you can use books to identify songs that are played by the individual bands. Or if you have a band that plays in different configurations – with or without brass section – you can use books to identify the songs that you play with the brass section and the ones that work without brass.
Another really useful application of books: group your songs by style, tempo, or intensity; have one book for ballads, one for mid-tempo, one for the hard-hitting uptempo songs. Makes it a lot easier to spontaneously find a song to fit the mood.
I mostly use books to identify the status of songs, e.g. song ideas (not in the repertoire yet), work in progress, gig-ready, de-listed, … But there are tons of possibilities – find your own!
And remember: you can assign songs to multiple books, so there's nothing keeping you from combining approaches: have books for song categories AND for status. Then use the status during rehearsals to identify the song that need a bit of work, and during gigs use the song categories to quickly find a "favorites" crowd-pleaser.
When to use books, when to use setlists
Of course, you can also use setlists to create subsets of your song collection; the key difference is that setlists allow you to specify the order in which songs are displayed and stepped through. So, when you want to have a certain order for your songs (which isn't alphabetical), then use setlists. | eng | ac53a0c8-f0b9-4a6a-8f16-f9082327b409 | https://www.liveprompter.com/help/help-mobile/introduction/set-lists-and-books/ |
Pustule acne treatment often involves a blend of oral and topical medications, such as antibiotics and retinoids that address the root cause behind inflamed bumps.
Cystic Acne
Characterized by large, painful cysts on the skin's surface, Cystic acne is often regarded as the most severe acne type.
It develops deep beneath the skin's surface and can be stubborn enough to leave behind scars. With cystic acne, along with oil and dirt, bacteria too gets trapped in the pores causing swelling or painful inflammation.
Over-the-counter drugs often used to treat mild acne don't work for this acne type.
Your dermatologist or doctor's intervention is crucial for managing this type of acne, including prescribing oral antibiotics, birth control pills, or professional treatments like Retinoids and Isotretinoin that attack all causes of acne.
Hormonal acne
Hormonal acne can result from hormonal fluctuations experienced during puberty, pregnancy, or menstruation. It is often characterized by deep and tender nodules around the jawline or chin.
These breakouts could range from whiteheads and blackheads to painful cysts.
Hormonal imbalances or preexisting medical conditions like PCOS(Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome) also lead to more severe cases of hormonal acne.
Genetic makeup or a family history of acne, medication side effects, and certain changes in women's menstrual cycle are major causes of hormonal acne.
Treatment options and strategies for hormonal acne often include topical creams, antibiotics (Isotretinoin), or professional treatments like Steroid injections for severe cases. Hormonal therapies such as oral contraceptives or anti-androgen medications are effective in managing skin conditions like Hormonal acne. | eng | dfa4b1af-b472-41a1-bae0-8cc8ce08d1ce | https://acnewiki.org/understanding-different-types-of-acne-a-comprehensive-guide/ |

Sustainability From the Top Down
As environmental protection becomes a greater topic of concern across all aspects of business, new initiatives and programs are being developed globally to institute measures guiding sustainable development.
The United Nations defines sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs," with development referring to growth in many aspects of human civilization. Sustainable development, as the UN sees it, requires efforts toward building an inclusive and resilient future for all.
The organization also believes that sustainable development requires three specific elements to be considered: Economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental protection. All three are both interconnected and of utmost importance, but it is in the particulars that international efforts have differed in both approach and result.
Setting the goals
Sustainability goals worldwide have been spurred on by the UN over the past several decades. Most recently, the organization adopted its Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, which exist as universal calls to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and generally improve the lives of humanity.
All 193 UN member states adopted these 17 goals in 2015 as part of the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a 15-year plan to achieve global advancement on each goal. These include ending poverty and hunger, affording all people clean water and sanitation, and promoting well-being through health, education, equality, peace, responsible consumption / production, and climate action (among others).
The efforts are part of what the UN calls its Decade of Action, a time in which sustainable solutions must be accelerated to meet these myriad challenges. In September 2019, UN Secretary-General António Guterres announced that action must come from three worldwide levels: Global action including greater resources and solutions for the Sustainable Development Goals; local action through various governmental frameworks and authorities; and action through individuals, which includes the media, academia, private sectors, and more to push for change through movements.
Many countries have begun enacting similar versions of the UN's plans, albeit with specified and varied targets. For example, Global Affairs Canada announced its 2020-2023 Departmental Sustainable Development Strategy, a means by which the country will work with various partners to work toward eliminating poverty and inequality.
As it relates to sustainability, this strategy outlines several goals to be met by at least 2030: To reduce greenhouse gas emissions from federal government facilities and fleets by 40 percent below 2005 levels, and 80 percent below 2005 targets by 2050 en route to carbon neutrality; to divert 75 percent (by weight) of both plastic and non-hazardous operation waste from landfills; to convert its administrative fleet to at least 80 percent zero-emission vehicles; and to reduce the country's total greenhouse gas emissions by 30 percent.
Doubled investment
As of 2022, several federal departments have developed measures to reduce climate change risks to assets, services, and operations, and plans are in place over the remaining eight years until 2030 to double federal government investments in clean energy and technology research, development, and demonstrations.
The SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) USA initiative, with support from various foundations, released its own briefing on its take on the UN's goals titled "America's Goals for 2030." The vision is "designed to support citizens, businesses, policymakers, universities and politicians in meeting goals to promote sustainable development in the U.S."
These goals adopt the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, with a particular focus on building a national understanding around the goals (especially on a political level), intended to be accomplished through partnership with individuals and organizations and promoting education and expertise through training, workshops, and more.
SDG USA has specific targets within the broader scope as well, such as encouraging employers to act ethically and provide at least $20 per hour take-home pay for all working people, as well as extending leave (i.e. sick, parental, vacation) to all. The organization believes that meeting needs like these will carry America forward into eradicating poverty.
The EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) is also hard at work encouraging American organizations to use renewable energy resources employing sustainability and health initiatives. These include the SunShot Initiative, which aims to make solar power more affordable, and the Better Buildings Challenge, which encourages businesses and organizations to reduce energy consumption.
America's approach to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals involves a specificity that could bear fruit toward the more generalized objectives most countries have adopted. Elsewhere, the EU (European Union) Sustainable Development Strategy is meant to identify and develop actions to enable all countries in the union to achieve long-term improvement of quality of life through the creation of sustainable communities.
These communities will be able to tap into ecological and social innovation inherent in the EU economy through effective resource management and, as such, enable greater environmental protection and social cohesion. The strategy outlined seven key environmental challenges for a period ending in 2010, which included sustainable energy, transportation, consumption, production, and resource conservation and management.
Biggest hurdles
In 2021, the Europe Sustainable Development Report showed that Europe's biggest current hurdles are in the sustainability of food, as well as in climate and biodiversity.
Northern European countries like Finland, Sweden, and Denmark seem to be at the top of SDG goals as Europe itself leads these goals on a worldwide scale, but more work must be done for the EU and other countries in the area to accomplish their proposed landmarks from several years ago.
Other continents are continuing to enact differing interpretations of sustainable action. Asian governments are concerned about various aspects of sustainability as well, even around areas like currency and finance. Market-building efforts are underway to invest in ideas like green bonds (funds specifically to contribute to environmental protection) and ESG (environmental, social, and governance) investing, which evaluates financial spending opportunities based on how they contribute to sustainability.
Elsewhere, in Africa, leaders are asking the international communities to support the development of environmentally sound waste management. Many have also endorsed a 10-year program on sustainable consumption and production to enhance energy resource efficiency. Already, many African countries have committed to banning leaded gasoline, and some uranium deposits in the continent are moving toward safer management thanks to the International Atomic Energy Agency.
Charting many courses
All these variations demonstrate that sustainability looks very different when one compares the preferred approaches of different countries and even continents.
So it follows, in a policy brief in the OECD Observer (a publication by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development), that the organization outlines how individual countries should approach sustainable development: along varying paths, with no "one size fits all" approach to sustainable development.
"Each country must chart its own course, in line with its culture, history, social and economic priorities, and prevailing institutions and political structures. The environmental challenges faced by different countries, which reflect geographical, ecological and climatic factors, are also very diverse and translate into highly differentiated constraints, opportunities and priorities. This is why there are many interpretations of sustainable development."
As helpful as edicts like the UN's Sustainable Development Goals have been toward getting countries to take sustainability more seriously, it will take further renewal and recommitment to these individual approaches to see lasting change toward building a greener future, as the clock keeps ticking toward the UN's vaunted year of 2030 | eng | 34e1d90f-5dee-495d-8223-df65957e658a | https://resourceinfocus.com/2022/11/sustainability-from-the-top-down/ |

And calls to child helplines have grown nearly five-fold in the space of just four years, from 958 in 2019 to 4,554, according to the Anar Foundation, a non-profit organisation that helps children and adolescents at risk in Spain.
The suffering endured during the pandemic exacerbated issues such as eating disorders and self-harm among youngsters.
Spain's public healthcare system has struggled to cope with the upsurge, as only one in five trained clinical psychologists are specialised in child and adolescent care – around 540 in total.
The country's mental health system has won many accolades for its training and structure, but a painful truth remains: The average ratio of clinical psychologists to minors is 6.5 per 100,000.
However, regional variations are significant. The Basque Country boasts nearly eight experts per capita, while Castilla y León or Andalusia barely scrapes by with two.
These deficiencies persist. Only nine communities have clinical psychologists at the primary level, and outpatient care dominates.
With 86% of professionals dedicated to it, it means that hospital-based youth care remains critically low.
Long waitlists and stretched schedules compound the issue – children often wait months for a consultation, impacting quality and family engagement.
Isabel Cuellar, a member of the board of the Child and Adolescent Clinical Psychology Section of the Spanish Association of Clinical Psychology and Psychopathology (AEPCP), stressed that valuing public healthcare and increasing investment are essential to prevent chronicity and provide adequate care | eng | 68348ab7-75c3-446f-8471-90ac66e91c01 | https://www.theolivepress.es/spain-news/2023/08/31/shocking-surge-in-youth-suicides-exposes-cracks-in-spains-child-mental-health-support/ |

Making the Farm-to-Table Connection
From the food on your table to the clothes on your back, agriculture provides a variety of things you eat, wear and use daily.
Each American farmer feeds about 165 people, according to the Agriculture Council of America, an organization comprised of leaders in the agriculture, food and fiber communities dedicated to increasing public awareness of agriculture's role in modern society. Here are several activities to help you support your local farmers and learn more about how the agricultural industry affects your daily life.
1Visit a farmers market The markets that aren't already open year-round typically kick off this month or May. They provide a perfect opportunity to get up close and personal with the people who grow your food. Prices are usually competitive with grocery stores or better, and food samples are often provided free.
2Make a farm-to-table meal Making a meal together is a tried-and-true way to spend quality time with your family, but you can also turn it into an opportunity to talk about where food comes from by using seasonal produce found at your local farmers market.
3Tour a local farm or dairy Taking a tour of a farm or dairy can provide a better understanding of how food and fiber products are produced. Make it a group outing with friends or family to help more people see the process food goes through from production to sitting on store shelves. Many North Carolina farms open their farms to the public for special events in April and May. Check the calendars of your local newspaper, magazines, and visitor center.
4Support farm and food initiatives The Agricultural Improvement Act of 2018 created reform for U.S. Department of Agriculture programs through 2023. To get more hands-on, you can contact your legislators to show support for farming initiatives like local FFA and 4-H programs, as well as those that can help improve opportunities for farmland leasing and subsidies.
5Volunteer at a community garden Many cities and neighborhoods, even those in more urban areas, provide plots of land community members can use to grow food for themselves or to donate within the community. Consider setting aside some time each week to give back by cleaning out flower beds, laying mulch or planting flowers and crops.
This month: Piedmont Farm Tour
You can visit a slew of operations on the Piedmont Farm Tour, where you can meet farmers, tour their farms, pet baby animals and enjoy delicious produce and meat. The tour, set for April 25–26, connects friends, families, neighbors, and customers to more than 30 local farms across Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Durham, Franklin, Guilford, Orange, Person, and Wake counties. The farms are open 2–6 p.m. You choose the farms you wish to drive to using a map. Car passes are good for both days. To learn more, visit carolinafarmstewards.org or call 919-542-2402. | eng | d6dc1faf-be59-4716-ae43-e8fd57adb84c | https://www.carolinacountry.com/departments/carolina-living/making-the-farm-to-table-connection |
How to Play Slots at the TI Casino
A slot is an opening or groove into which something can be inserted. This can refer to a physical opening, such as the slots in a door handle, or an abstract notion, such as the position of a person on a team or a committee. Slots can also be found in video games, where they are used to hold dynamic content. A slot is usually created using a scenario and a renderer, which together control the placement of items in a slot.
Often, slots are based on a specific theme and feature symbols that align with that theme. These themes can vary from classic objects like fruit and bells to stylized lucky sevens. In addition, slot machines can have various bonus features and jackpots that increase the player's chances of winning.
There are a few important things to keep in mind when playing slot machines. The first is that luck plays a major role in your success, so be patient and play for fun. Also, pick machines based on what you enjoy: If you prefer simpler machines with one payout line or ones with a lot of bonus features, go for it! Just don't expect the odds to be significantly better on one type of machine than another.
Paylines are a key component of any slot game. These lines, which are sometimes straight and others zig-zag, run across the reels and determine how many paylines a machine pays out. Some slots allow players to choose their own number of paylines, while others have fixed paylines that cannot be changed.
In modern slot games, the pay table is usually displayed on a monitor. This allows players to easily see the pay tables and other information about each game they are playing. The pay tables will typically contain the current jackpot amount, symbol values, and other important information about each game.
The TI casino offers a variety of different slot machines for their guests to enjoy. Some of these games are more complex than others and may require a higher level of skill to play, but they all offer great entertainment value for players of all skill levels. Whether you prefer traditional slot games or more advanced video slots, there is sure to be a machine at the TI that's perfect for you.
The best way to maximize your slot machine experience is to start by testing the payback percentage of a machine before you play. You can do this by putting in some money and then watching how much you get back after a certain period of time. If you are consistently getting ten dollars or more back, that's probably a good machine to stay at. However, if you're not breaking even or losing more than you are betting, you should move to a new machine. | eng | 42c5dd6d-d270-4cd5-9cec-fb0f36f46995 | https://nicolasjolly.net/how-to-play-slots-at-the-ti-casino/ |
Yes you need to print a white under base when printing almost anything on a black tee. The regular glow-in-the-dark ink is actually almost clear. So if you want white glow in the dark, you need to silk screen white, then the glow on top. If you want the pink to glow also, you will need to special order pink glow pigment, mix it in a clear base. Then again, you will need to print a white base then the pink over that. Hope that helps. | eng | 0a977142-21c3-4596-a00e-f61a30b799f0 | https://www.t-shirtforums.com/threads/glow-in-the-dark-and-flourescent-inks.65288/ |
Category Archives: Personality
1 In the context of discussing personality, what does the Big Five refer to? What is one of the Big Five? Who authored the theory?
The big five traits are really bipolar dimensions. One of the big five is Conscientiousness the person who authored the theory was Freud.
2 Freud developed the first systematic theory of how human personality was shaped. What role did he accord to conflict in the process? Give an example of the sort of conflict he identified as being important in the process .
Dr. Freud found out that he could not hypnotize many of them deeply enough to duplicate Charcot's results. He did not know that people vary widely in their degree of hypnotizability, the ability to follow suggestions offered by a hypnotic agent.
3 Zimbardo and his colleagues, in their textbook Psychology: Core Concepts, suggest that a single theory of personality is unlikely to be adequate to answer all the questions we might have about the subject. What is the basis for this assertion?
4 How does Freud's concept of ego defense explain an individual's personality?
If unconscious desires become too insistent, the ego may solve the problem by " putting a lid on the id" that is by sequestering both extreme desires and threatening memories deep in the unconscious mind.
5 Zimbardo, when he set up his Stanford Prison Experiment, assessed his potential subjects to a battery of psychological tests that showed that they all had normal personalities, as well as no history of mental illness or violence. Nonetheless within a very short time both those cast as prisoners and as guards were acting in ways radically different from how they had acted before the experiment began. What does this observation suggest about the validity of theories of behavior based on biological constraints?
The validity was to show the measure of the personality and can show signs of mental illness.
In Psychology, personality consists of the psychological qualities that bring continuity to an individual in different situations and at different timesIn theory the traits of an individual are more specific characteristics in the personality for example shyness which is inherited and some is learned through experience guides the individuals thoughts and actions under various conditions. Psychologists have developed the five factor theory which uses five traits Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neurotic-ism, and Openness to describe personalities of different individuals. The state of a person is a momentary emotional reaction in a certain situation which persists according to the level of the trigger (Frustration, Arousal, Anger). The character of a person is the overall sense of quality of that person (Honesty, Integrity, Generosity) which is taught or learned through observational learning and can be absorbed anytime throughout an individual's lifetime. Although character can be taught, the inherited traits of an individual can permanently influence certain aspects of character because that is the individual's inevitable nature.
Individuals in society make judgments about other peoples personalities in everyday life whether if its to determine friend and foe or to determine honesty and dishonesty. These judgments are part of the Implicit Personality Theory which of These judgments are more likely to be made when an individual generalizes ignorantly for example if you had your heart broken by someone who was attractive but unwilling to make a commitment, you may quickly judge other attractive persons to be "insincere" or "untrustworthy". It is often the case that when individuals make mistakes regarding other individuals, their judgments are revealed to them as errors. People are most likely to make such mistakes when they make judgments solely based on an individuals state or character at the time since these change frequently. General ideas about personality work to a certain extant in everyday life but personalities cannot truly be interpreted by the regular person.
The Psychoanalytic Theory developed by Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) revealed how hidden in the unconscious part of the mind is the source of powerful impulse, instincts, motives, and conflicts that energize the personality. The memories hidden in the unconscious can only be obtained through special techniques used by trained psychologists which reveal the reason for the subjects behavior or personality of his dysfunctional parents that were always fighting as he grew up. It took time for him to finally make peace with that which was in his unconscious and he now lives peacefully independently. The use of this theory could tell us how an individual would act in emergencies because it would give us the individuals hidden secrets of the mind which would reveal his/her true personality and how it would apply in emergencies. How an individual would act in emergency situations is not assumable since it requires one to know the secrets of the unconscious and true personality rather than a certain state or character of the individual.
When things go wrong explanations based on the character or personality of the people involved typically dominate and this is the effect of the Fundamental Attribution Error. These explanations are almost never accurate at first since information regarding an incident is not equal as different people involved attribute false information or ideas due to ignorance regarding the incident. This does not inform us on what happened accurately because we have contradicting sides and this cannot guide us to do the right thing in unification since what was attributed was indirect and contradicting. In conclusion, Personality can take many forms of character or states but is always truly hidden within the unconscious and it takes the extreme for it to reveal itself.
Hamza Syed (Ideas and Contributions)
Compiled several ideas and theories that support the idea of personality being something that is hidden in the unconscious and how people make judgments on individuals in everyday Life. The Psychoanalytic Theory developed by Sigmund Freud (1856-1939) revealed how hidden in the unconscious part of the mind is the source of powerful impulse, instincts, motives, and conflicts that energize the personality. This theory that I researched was most interesting because it brought a sophisticated conclusion that personalities are hidden and can only be revealed through special techniques his dysfunctional parents that were always fighting as he grew up. It took time for him to finally make peace with that which was in his unconscious and he now lives peacefully independently. People make judgments on other peoples personalities in everyday life according to what character they are greeting with or what in what state of behavior they met a person. (These are easily mistakes since true traits may only be revealed in certain extreme situations or circumstances).
Tchoumta Tchouffa Yann Herve (Ideas and Contributions)
Compiled theories and ideas regarding why and how people make judgement on other individuals in everyday life. The Implicit Personality Theory from The five factor theory used by psychologists contains Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Neurotic-ism, and Openness as the traits to describe personalities of different individuals.
Ana Bravo (Ideas and Contributions)
Compiled three theories which are used by psychologists to define and explain at a scholarly level what influences and causes our personalities to change and form(Professor, please note that these ideas and theories were combined using all our works to create one unified research project) Thank You | eng | 5c27c309-20ae-4801-853e-56a6f21a9fb8 | https://openlab.citytech.cuny.edu/schutzpsy1101d808fa2016/category/personality/ |
Expressing Emotions with a New W3C Markup Language, EmotionML
Write for InfoQ
Join a community of experts. Increase your visibility. Grow your career.Learn more
W3C has published the first public working draft of the Emotion Markup Language (EmotionML), a language meant to express emotions in three main ways in today's computer-based communication: annotating data, the recognition of emotional-based states, and generating emotion-related system behavior.
According to the language authors, EmotionML can have applications in various fields like:
Support for people with disabilities, such as educational programs for people with autism.
The basis of an EmotionML document is represented by the <emotion> element, having as children one of the following elements: <category>, <dimension>, <appraisal>, <action-tendency>. There are various emotion category sets, the shortest one being Paul Ekman's, containing six basic emotions having facial expressions: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, and surprised. Other sets are more elaborate like Fontaine, Scherer, Roesch and Ellsworth's, having 24 categories. The dimension element can also have various values depending on the author(s) studying it, an example being: pleasure, arousal, and dominance. The same goes for appraisal and action-tendency, detailed in the document.
The EmotionML draft contains several examples, including annotating an image:
Another example shows how a system can express the information collected by three different affective sensor devices:
Yet another example demonstrates the third usage intended for EmotionML, the behavior of a robot with batteries running out and looking for a power outlet and avoiding to pick up boxes which would drain the batteries even more:
EmotionML can be used in conjunction with other markup languages like EMMA, and extensible multi-modal annotation language, and SSML, a speech synthesis language. | eng | 663427b6-fa98-44ba-ac1a-9609eb192524 | https://www.infoq.com/news/2010/07/EmotionML/ |

Following Copyright Laws in the Classroom
The issue of violating copyright laws has become a very controversial problem not just in media but also in academic and professional institutions as well. In schools, for example, teachers would often provide their students with thought provoking or insightful articles, or show them helpful photos or allow them to listen to certain kinds of songs to help illustrate a particular lesson. But now, teachers are very hesitant to do this because they fear that they might violate copyright laws. Here are some guidelines on copyright laws in the classroom — just one of the recipes for life you will find in o5.com.
Using and distributing copyrighted items within the confines of the classroom is indeed a punishable offense based on copyright laws. While care must be taken when using various articles, photos or music, there are also some items that can be used for discussions.
Printed Materials
Copyright law states that poems that consist of up to 250 words can be discussed in the classroom. A poem that is more than 250 words can still be discussed on the condition that only an excerpt of the poem not exceeding 250 words is discussed.
With regards to works of fiction, essays, and articles, if it is not more than 2,500 words then it is okay to be discussed. If the work is longer than 2,500 words, then it can still be discussed provided that only an excerpt of within the range of 500 to 1,000 words is used.
In terms of pictures, graphs, diagrams, or charts, the classroom can discuss one for every book or periodical issue. As for illustrated works, the allowable limit is two pages or not exceeding 2,500 words.
Video
There are certain copyrighted video materials that can be employed in the classroom in its entire length provided the source material was acquired legally. Additionally, it should be used for actual, physical discussion for strictly instructional purposes. It should not be used as a reward or as a way of gaining profit.
For other video materials, only 10 percent of the entire content can be used. This translates to just about three minutes of video. Credits should also be included in the copyrighted work.
Music
For musical works, only ten percent of the total music composition can be used for educational purposes. But there are some copyright holders who only allow 30 seconds of the total composition to be used in the classroom.
Television programs
There are some TV networks that allow off-the-air viewings of their programs for classroom discussion purposes. These programs can be acquired from the networks themselves. There are networks that institute a retention policy of about ten school days but there are those who are more lenient and will allow the school to keep the program for up to three years. | eng | 5489dfc8-033e-4a9c-abe5-bf83e9f4907f | https://noodles.io/following-coypright-laws-in-the-classroom/ |

Name
Swarnarajya is a Hindi word which means the "Golden Country" which is an allusion to the mythical city of El Dorado.
Climate
Swarnarajya had a tropical savanna climate (Köppen climate classificationAw) with distinct wet and dry seasons. Due to its high elevation, Swarnarajya usually enjoyed a more moderate climate throughout the year, although occasional heat waves could make summer somewhat uncomfortable. The coolest month was January with an average low temperature of 15.1 °C (59.2 °F) and the hottest month was April with an average high temperature of 35 °C (95 °F). Swarnarajya receives rainfall from both the northeast and the southwest monsoons and the wettest months were September, October and August, respectively. | eng | 53a25688-941a-4520-8d90-116a205de30c | https://micronations.wiki/wiki/Swarnarajya |
The IT threat landscape has changed dramatically over the last three-four years.
With no shortage of threat actors, from hacktivists to nation-states, criminals to terrorists, all of them are now after something new.
It's no more just about stealing your money, credit cards and defacing websites, as now they are after the intellectual property, mass attacks and most importantly, our critical infrastructures.
We have long-discussed nightmare scenarios of cyber attacks against nation's critical infrastructure, but now these scenarios have come to the real world, and we have seen many such incidents in the past years.
The latest example is cyber attacks against Ukrainian power grid. Just two weeks back, Ukraine's national power company Ukrenergo confirmed that electricity outage on 17-18th December last year was caused by a cyber attack.
Such sophisticated cyber attacks have revealed the extent of vulnerabilities in the systems that are operating the most critical sectors in a country.
Around 13 years ago, the Indian government established the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-In), and just like CERTs in other nations; it is responsible for collecting and sharing reports on cyber attacks against non-critical systems.
Every minute, we see about half a million attack attempts that are happening in cyberspace.
But, we are living in a dramatically fast changing world and unfortunately, which now includes threats not only against people, places, and information but also against strategic sectors and critical infrastructure of a nation, for which most organizations were never prepared for.
In order to address cybersecurity of critical infrastructure and evolve related practices, policies, and procedures to protect our most critical properties, the government set up a special body in 2014, named NCIIPC.
NCIIPC — National Critical Information Infrastructure Protection Centre — works under the country's technical Intelligence Agency, NTRO and vowed to work with public and private sectors to identify the nation's most critical assets and systems, and help them to create a foolproof firewall around these networks and overall risk management strategies.
Just last week, NCIIPC organized an event to celebrate its third anniversary of its foundation day, and I got an opportunity to attend the event and represent The Hacker News, among others, including — cyber security experts, policymakers, industry leaders, Academia and Government representatives.
The event aimed to provide a platform for all stakeholders of the CII ecosystem to converge, deliberate and formalize action plans for optimizing and improving protection of the vast array of CII deployed across the nation. Here's a brief of last week's main events, in case you've missed them:
The event was inaugurated with the welcome address from Mr. Alok Joshi, Chairman NTRO, who briefly said that the cybersecurity threats are becoming more severe over time.
Attacks are happening now… but not only this, it is constantly changing and, in the case of cyber, the threats are becoming ever more sophisticated and insidious.
And It's true, everything is under attack… from highly critical infrastructures to medical devices.
Mr. Joshi's talk was followed by Dr.Arvind Gupta, Deputy National Security Advisor (NSA), Chief guest for the event, who primarily focused his talk on critical issues originated due to a massive number of unreported cyber-attacks.
He also showed support for the need of developing capabilities to strengthen cybersecurity research and development (R&D) community, which must include researchers, industry experts, and academia.
The event also witnessed insightful keynotes including Dr.Gulshan Rai, India's first National Cyber Security Coordinator and Dr. Sanjay Bahl, Director General CERT-In.
Both officials collaboratively said that NCIIPC is intended to promote collaboration and information sharing between government and industry to facilitate safe, secure and resilient Information Infrastructure for Critical Sectors of the Nation.
Moreover, delegates also discussed the security of Internet of Things -- the next generation critical Infrastructure.
Just as critical infrastructure is essential for everyday living, the rapidly growing "Internet of Things" is changing the way we use technology and helping people live more efficiently.
So, it has been concluded that to prevent our critical assets from sophisticated cyber attacks, we and organizations like NCIIPC, need to work together to identify the list of infrastructures that need special protection and know, who are after them.... waiting for opportunities to harm nation's economy and steal our secrets.

"Don't get like this." "Like what?" "Nothing." "No, really. Like what? Upset that you're trying to screw your way through all of 212 while I sit around pining for you like some kind of neglected, sexless governess out of a Bronte novel? Like that, you mean?" (8)
"Church and State. I just feel like our friends should be…mmm….separate but equal." (59)
"New York City is like fucking Sex Disney." (77)

"You know, every book is a love letter. Even if it's not a romance book. A book is just taking three hundred pages to say 'I love you.' No on'es out there helping these young, anonymous writers along. No one's dangling the big bucks in front of them. These people are out there working night jobs as waiters and bartenders and security guards at warehouses, without health insurance or respect from their peers, trying to write these novels because they have to, because they are compelled by love to do it. Even with the slushies who can't spell their own names, you can feel it in their sentences, like you can feel the nervous energy of a first date with someone you really like but don't know how to express it and so you end up saying all the wrong things. They've got it, they're feeling it, and they want us to feel it too. That's something noble. That's something about love. And I just think that maybe you could be a little scornful to do it. You used to write nice little notes under the form rejection letter, you know. I don't know why you stopped doing that. It wouldn't kill you, and it would make the slushies feel very good. What happened to you?" (154)

If a word had no food language equivalent, this was the beautiful part–then you can use the corresponding native language's word.

How to Become a Police, Fire, or Ambulance Dispatcher
Most police, fire, and ambulance dispatchers have a high school diploma or GED. Additional requirements vary. Many states require dispatchers to become certified.
Important Qualities
Ability to multitask. Responding to an emergency over the phone can be stressful. Dispatchers must stay calm to simultaneously answer calls, collect vital information, coordinate responders, and assist callers.
Empathy. People who call 9-1-1 are often in distress. Dispatchers must be willing and able to help callers with a wide variety of needs. They must be calm, polite, and sympathetic, while also quickly getting information.
Leadership skills. Dispatchers work with law enforcement, emergency response teams, and civilians in emergency situations. They must be able to efficiently communicate the nature of the emergency and coordinate the appropriate response.
Listening skills. When answering an emergency call or handling radio communications, a dispatcher must listen carefully. Some callers might have trouble speaking because of anxiety or stress. Dispatchers must be able to record the call accurately.
Problem-solving skills. Dispatchers must be able to choose wisely between tasks that are competing for their attention. They must be able to quickly determine the appropriate action when people call for help.
Education and Training
The typical entry-level education is a high school diploma or a GED. However, some employers may not specify any educational requirements. Others prefer to hire dispatchers who have a related 2- or 4-year degree in a subject such as criminal justice, computer science, or communications.
Most dispatcher jobs require an applicant to complete an interview as well as to pass a written exam and a typing test. In addition, applicants may need to pass a background check, lie detector and drug tests, as well as tests for hearing and vision.
Most states require a dispatcher to be a U.S. citizen, and some jobs require a driver's license. Both computer skills and customer service skills can be helpful, as is the ability to speak a second language.
Training requirements vary by state. Some states require dispatchers to be certified.
Several states require 40 hours or more of initial training. Some require continuing education every 2 to 3 years. Other states do not mandate any specific training, leaving individual agencies to conduct their own courses.
Some agencies have their own programs for certifying dispatchers; others use training from a professional association. The Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO), the National Emergency Number Association (NENA), and the National Academies of Emergency Dispatch (NAED) have established a number of recommended standards and best practices that agencies may use as a guideline for their own training programs.
Training is usually conducted in both a classroom setting and on the job, and is often followed by a probationary period of about 1 year. However, this may vary by agency as there is no national standard of how training is conducted or the length of probation.
Training covers a wide variety of topics, such as local geography, agency protocols, and standard procedures. Dispatchers are also taught how to use specialized equipment, such as a 2-way radio and computer-aided dispatch (CAD) software. They receive training to prepare for specific types of incidents, such as a child abduction or a suicidal caller. Some dispatchers receive emergency medical dispatcher (EMD) training, which enables them to give medical assistance over the phone.
Certification
Dispatchers may choose to pursue additional certifications, such as NENA's emergency number professional (ENP) or APCO's Registered Public-Safety Leader (RPL) to prove their leadership skills and knowledge of the profession.
Advancement
Dispatchers can become senior dispatchers or supervisors before going on to administrative positions, in which they may focus on a specific area, such as training or policy and procedures. Additional education and related work experience may be helpful in advancing to management level positions. Technology skills also may be helpful in becoming a supervisor. | eng | 28d08e48-6de1-4d41-9e54-567d375a0d3c | http://resumesanta.com/career_education/How_to_Become_a_Police,_Fire,_or_Ambulance_Dispatcher.html |

Abstract
A teacher must be able to adapt to changing conditions and keep up with developments in the field. Teachers are expected to help improve the learning environment and make learning activities more meaningful by using new strategies. Therefore, there is no sense of boredom, monotony, or saturation during the teaching and learning process. Teachers can choose innovative learning strategies based on the subject matter they teach from various models and types. The method used in this article is descriptive analytic, namely by describing the theories according to experts. Then the author analyses it to find the similarities between the two, in learning mathematics not many have used the sociodrama method. Besides learning mathematics requires high concentration, it tends to be difficult to combine arithmetic material with drama. The design this time the teacher formed a method of learning mathematics on the material of large integers with sosio-drama (playing markets) or buying and selling in the market. In its implementation, sociodrama learning can foster students' creativity by involving them in the preparation of scenarios and dialogues. In learning mathematics, not many have used the sociodrama method. In addition to learning to hone their large whole number calculations, they learn to be careful in looking at the price list. They learn to act out their roles well and even learn to bargain for goods. | eng | 810fac20-3973-490c-9da4-71e805fd51a2 | https://proceeding.uingusdur.ac.id/index.php/icis/article/view/1434 |
Ways to Save Money While Opening a Restaurant
Starting a restaurant can be an extremely costly endeavor. Many expenses go into the process, from the cost of renting or leasing space to purchasing furniture, appliances, and kitchen supplies. In addition, there are also many hidden costs associated with running a restaurant that business owners may not be aware of. Fortunately, there are ways to save money while starting a restaurant. Here are some tips to help you save money while opening a restaurant:
Claim Capital Allowance to Save on Taxes
Claiming a capital allowance can substantially lower the taxes you must pay when opening a restaurant. This is because capital allowance allows you to deduct the cost of certain business-related assets, such as equipment and fixtures, from your taxable income. For example, if you spend $10,000 on kitchen equipment for your restaurant, you would be able to claim a $10,000 deduction on your taxes. As a result, you would only be taxed on the remaining $90,000 of your income.
However, claiming capital allowances can be a complicated process. You must identify the capitals you can claim allowances for, apply for that, and you will benefit only after the approval. Hence, it is best to seek professional help. You can rely on professionals like lovellconsulting.com to ensure you can get the maximum tax benefits. These professionals can handle everything from identifying the capital to calculating the allowances so that you can focus on your newly started restaurant.
Shop Around for Suppliers
One of the essential things is shopping around for suppliers. There are several factors to consider when choosing a supplier, such as a price, quality, and customer service. It's important to take the time to compare different suppliers to get the best deal.
Another way to save money when opening a restaurant is to negotiate with suppliers. Suppliers are often willing to offer discounts if they know you're shopping around. Don't be afraid to ask for a better price or terms. Finally, it's also important to build relationships with suppliers. The more you work with them, the more likely they will give you better future deals.
Negotiate Rent and Lease Terms
When opening a restaurant, rent is one of your biggest expenses. But there are ways to negotiate favorable terms that can help you save money. Here are a few tips:
Start by doing your research. Compare rental rates in the area and get a sense of what's typical for the type of space you're looking for. This will give you a baseline to work from during negotiations.
Don't be afraid to ask for what you want. Be honest about your budget and what you're willing to pay, but don't lowball yourself. It's important to remember that the landlord is also trying to make a profit, so try to strike a fair balance.
Be prepared to compromise. In many cases, the landlord will be open to negotiation if it means they can secure a long-term tenant. For example, they may be willing to lower the rent if you sign a longer lease.
Consider a Food Truck
Food trucks are a fraction of the cost of a traditional restaurant, and they offer many of the same benefits. For one, food trucks are mobile, so you can take your eatery wherever the customers are.
You're not tied to one location, and you can reach a wider audience than you would with a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Additionally, food trucks require less staff than a traditional restaurant, so you can save on labor costs. And because they're smaller, food trucks have lower overhead costs.
Offer Discounts and Promotions
If you're looking to save money while opening a restaurant, one of the best ways to do so is by offering discounts and promotions. This can help attract customers and get them in the door, which is essential for any new business. However, a few things to keep in mind when offering discounts and promotions.
First, make sure that the discount or promotion will save you money. There's no point in offering a 20% off coupon if it will only cost you more money in the long run. Second, be strategic about when and how you offer discounts and promotions. If you offer them too often, customers will come to expect them and may be less likely to visit your restaurant when they're not available.
Finally, ensure that your discounts and promotions target your ideal customers. There's no use offering a discount on children's meals if you're trying to attract business professionals, for example.
By following these tips, you can save money while opening a restaurant. While starting a restaurant can be costly, there are ways to reduce your expenses and make your business more affordable. You can open a restaurant without breaking the bank by shopping around for suppliers, negotiating rent and lease terms, and offering discounts and promotions. | eng | 6e00afc5-a500-4373-bc20-64ccfd03b5e7 | https://www.the9thdoor.com/save-money-while-opening-a-restaurant/ |
The Top 5 Sod FAQs
Great minds must truly think alike because there are five questions we get asked most frequently. To help simplify your sod search, I have compiled the top five questions into one blog for you.
When Should I Install Sod in NC?
The answer depends on the sod variety. Fescue, a cool season grass, should be installed from September through February in central NC. While it can be installed in other months, the success rate will be lower. Fescue roots best in cool weather and struggles when it is hot outside. The answer for warm-season grasses varies. Zeon and other fine-bladed zoysias, as well as Centipede, should be installed May through August (or September if the hot weather remains). They must be fully greened up and they need time to root well before dormancy. Zenith and other wide-bladed zoysias, as well as Bermuda, can be sodded year-round with the following caveat. If the area receives traffic in the winter, do not sod with dormant sod because it will have trouble rooting firmly with traffic.
What Guarantees are Provided With Sod Installation?
Sod, like all plants, is a living thing. We guarantee that your sod will arrive fresh, in sound and living condition. We guarantee that we will install it properly in accordance with the process outlined here. Once your sod is installed, it is dependent upon you to provide the care it needs to thrive. We will give you care instructions and be available to answer your questions during business hours. We have lots of helpful FAQs and blog articles to answer your questions any time! Like a new pet, your care is the key factor once it is yours.
Is Seeding Cheaper Than Sod?
In theory, yes. In practice, this question deserves a more complex answer. Let's start with the fact that most hybrid grass varieties are not available in seed form. Zeon Zoysia and TifTuf Bermuda, for example, are sterile hybrids and cannot be grown from seed. Fescue is the easiest grass to grow from seed but the planting window is very short (early to mid October). Bermuda seed is available but not in hybrid form, so the result is the wiry common Bermuda. Zenith Zoysia is available in seed, as is Centipede, but warm season grasses take 3 weeks to germinate and 3 years to fill in – a very long and frustrating process.
Which Sod Variety is Best for Me?
How Do I Maintain New Sod?
Each sod variety has specific care requirements. We cover the care needs of each sod variety we install on the page for that variety. For example: Fescue – Peak Sodding | Southern Wake County We also provide you with specific care instructions when your new sod is installed.

Options To Replenish Depleting Groundwater
It supplies drinking water for more than half of the total U.S. population and greater than 95 percent of the rural population. It helps grow our food because more than 60 percent of it is used for irrigation to grow crops. It's an important component in many industrial processes, and it's a source to recharge lakes, rivers, and wetlands.
"It" is groundwater — the water found underground in the cracks and spaces in soil, sand, and rock, stored in and moving slowly through geologic formations of soil, sand, and rocks called aquifers.
And it's under threat.
Groundwater depletion, a term often defined as "long-term water-level declines caused by sustained groundwater pumping," is a vital issue associated with groundwater use, and many areas of the U.S. are experiencing it.
Groundwater depletion is recognized by measuring the lowering of the water table — the point below which the ground is saturated with water. For example, in the Atlantic Coastal Plain area of New York state, pumping water for domestic supply has lowered the water table, reduced or eliminated the base flow of streams, and has caused saline groundwater to move inland. Depleting groundwater has also been measured throughout the U.S., including the Pacific Northwest, Desert Southwest, and West-central Florida, among other areas.
The effects of depleted groundwater include the following:
Lowering of the water table
The lowering of the water table is the most severe consequence of groundwater depletion. For water to be withdrawn from the ground, it must be pumped from a well that reaches down below the water table. If groundwater levels decline too far, the well owner might have to deepen the well, drill a new well, or, at least, attempt to lower the pump. As water levels decline, the rate of water the well can yield may decline as well.
Increased costs for the user
As the depth to water increases, the water must be lifted higher to reach the land surface, thereby increasing cost.
Reduction of water in streams and lakes
There is more of an interaction between the water in lakes and rivers and groundwater than most people think. Some, and often a great deal, of the water flowing in rivers comes from seepage of groundwater into the streambed.
Groundwater pumping can alter how water moves between an aquifer and a stream, lake, or wetland — either by intercepting groundwater flow that discharges into the surface-water body under natural conditions, or by increasing the rate of water movement from the surface-water body into an aquifer. A related effect of groundwater pumping is the lowering of groundwater levels below the depth that streamside or wetland vegetation needs to survive. The overall effect on the environment is a loss of riparian vegetation and wildlife habitat.
Land subsidence
The basic cause of land subsidence is a loss of support below ground. When water is taken out of the soil, the soil can collapse, compact, and drop.
Deterioration of water quality
Compromises to groundwater can impact the quality of the overall water supply itself. One water-quality threat to fresh groundwater supplies is contamination from saltwater — salt water intrusion. Not all of the water in the ground is fresh water; much of the very deep groundwater and water below oceans is saline. Pumping deep wells can cause saltwater to migrate inland and upward, resulting in saltwater contamination of the water supply.
One high-volume option to replenishment of depleting groundwater is the conversion of sewage to tap water. This process involves treating and recycling wastewater from municipal sewer systems, converting it into drinkable water in a timely period.
Sewage is converted into drinkable water using three processes. The first process uses ultrafiltration to remove the physical solids. The second uses reverse osmosis (RO) to remove the dissolved solids, and the third and final process is disinfection with ultraviolet (UV) light, which kills bacteria that transmit waterborne diseases.
The drinkable water is then pumped into the environmental waters to replenish depleting groundwater. And this can be a life-sustaining business model for other communities throughout the U.S.
Other options using artificial methods to replenish groundwater include the following:
Rainwater harvesting
Rainwater harvesting is another method to replenish ground water. But this method can be used only during the rains. In urban and rural areas, the rooftop rainwater can be conserved and used for recharge of groundwater. This approach requires connecting the outlet pipe from the rooftop to divert the water to existing wells/tube-wells/bore-wells or specially designed wells.
Raingardens to recharge groundwater
A raingarden is designed to hold rainwater runoff from rooftops, driveways, patios, or lawns. It contains native shrubs, perennials, plants, etc. Every time it rains, water runs off impermeable surfaces such as roofs or driveways, collecting pollutants like particles of dirt, fertilizer, chemicals, oil, garbage, and bacteria along the way. The pollutant-laden water enters storm drains untreated and flows directly to nearby streams and ponds. Raingardens collect rainwater runoff, allowing the water to be filtered by the vegetation and percolate into the soil, thereby recharging groundwater aquifers. This process filters out pollutants.
Advantages offered by raingardens include:
Improvement of water quality by filtering pollutants
Pleasing appearance to the building
Preservation of native vegetation
Stormwater and flood control
Attraction of bees, birds, and insects
Easy maintenance
Groundwater recharge
Injection wells
Use of injection wells is a more energy-intensive method of groundwater replenishment, utilizing high-pressure pumps to actively 'push' water into aquifers. Sources of water for injection wells include treated wastewater, stormwater, and agricultural runoff.
These are only some options to replenish depleting groundwater. If you have other options to share, please submit them here.

Renewable energy has surpassed coal as the more economically viable option for power generation in the US, according to a recent analysis.
The study, conducted by Energy Innovation, found that it is now more expensive for 99% of the country's coal-fired power plants to continue operating than to build a new wind or solar energy facility in the same region.
This shift is largely due to the plummeting costs of renewable energy, which have been accelerated by the Inflation Reduction Act. While coal will not disappear overnight, analysts predict that the trend towards renewables will eventually end the era of coal power in the US, creating new economic opportunities and increasing energy security | eng | bc4c45bb-d00a-4306-a94a-f1925e8c28c7 | https://positivenewsfoundation.org/happy-news-inspiration/study-finds-wind-and-solar-energy-farms-cheaper-than-99-of-us-coal-plants/ |
Importance of Note Selection
Historically, a lot of bass centered music has stuck to certain keys. Usually it's better to stick to notes from E to G#
Why is that, I hear you screaming from the other side of the screen?
Imagine you're writing a line for your sub bass. You want it to hit that sweet spot of super low, but not having an overblown and muddy bottom end.
The main body of the bass lies at around 100Hz-300Hz. If you're in the key of G, and your root note of your sub is a G2, that's vibrating right at the sweet spot of 98Hz. Whereas, if, for example, you're writing in the key of C.
A C2 note vibrates at 65Hz, which is already pretty damn close to what you'll be trying to subdue with your EQ later on. We want the main bass fundamental frequency notes to be in the range of 80-120Hz, for it to have a better and more pronounced low-end body which we're trying to accomplish
TIP: You should usually have your sub-bass be strictly mono. A subwoofer is a single channel speaker, so a sub-bass with a stereo image will not translate well.
Should I Compress or EQ First?
Credit: Fabfilter.com
So after you've written a nice bass line, you have to start thinking of initial mix settings. This is where you'll have to make a lot of decisions.
Do you EQ or Compress first?
Good Bass Compression is key, but it's not always what you want to start with. First of all, is your bass sound exactly how you would like it to sound? If not, start off with an EQ. You should try to shape your sound to remove any unwanted frequencies.
A good thing to start off with is a Low-cut. Use an High Pass band on your EQ, to cut everything below 20Hz of your bass sound. You might ask, why remove low frequencies from your bass? Won't that just make my bass thin?
Nope! On the contrary!
A low cut is pretty much guaranteed to make your bass sound tighter. Even super high end audio systems rarely go below 20Hz, so there's no reason to have all that bottom end information just muddying up your mix.
A lot of people automatically assume that you should just have a low shelf, boosting the entire low-end up, but that's not the case usually. Slightly counterintuitively, most of the body of your bass isn't in the low end (<150Hz), but rather in the low-mid range (150-400Hz).
The Low-Mid range is where all the weight, body and punch of your bass is. A slick boost here, can help you get some thickness into your bass.
Let's say you boost at 200Hz, a nice thing to experiment with is harmonic eq.
Try boosting the harmonic multiples of your initial 200Hz boost, in this case that'd be 400, 600, 800, etc. This will make your bass sound more resonant and also serve to build up the harmonic body of the sound.
Obviously all of this can apply to bass guitar as well. For Bass guitar we suggest easing off the low end a little. When you've EQ'd your bass, it's time to compress.
Why do it this way?
Compression by its definition helps bring out dynamics in your audio.
So if there are any slight issues with your bass sound, bass compression is just going to make those issues much more audible, and you'll quickly end up with a noisy and muddy low end.
General Bass Compression Settings
Firstly, let's set your ratio. If you're not going for a totally slammed sound, we'd suggest leaving the ratio at around 3:1-4:1, go higher if you want your sound to be squashed more, but this'll be a good jumping off point.
Next, you should set your attack and release time. These will affect the compression characteristics the most.
Set your attack to be very slow, let's say around 100ms, and your release time much faster, around 20-30ms.
Lastly, adjust your threshold, so that your compression levels are between 5 and 10 dB.
Staying between 5 and 10 dB is a good rule of thumb for most bass sounds, but the result can sound over-compressed in some cases. We'll talk about this more in a little bit.
Now that you have some basic settings put in, it's time to tweak your compressor to the perfect settings.
In-Depth Compressor Control
Visual cues on your compressors UI will help a lot with nailing down the perfect Attack and Release settings, but make sure to properly listen for the changing sonic characteristics.
Slowly start decreasing your attack time to the point where it starts to cut off transients and sound dull. Dial it back a couple ms, so that you get as close to the transient as possible, without cutting any of it off.
You should now have your attack set, so let's nail the release time as well.
Your bass should have room to breathe
A good bass sound needs room to breathe, this is usually accomplished by the release setting of your compressor.
Release times, more often than not, is the most important knob on your compressor. It shapes your sound the most.
Too long of a release time and your compressor won't have time to reset before the next bass hit, leading to an unnatural and over-compressed bass.
Too short of a release time and you'll start getting weird artifacts in your sound, and we can't have that if we're looking for a thick and solid low-end.
Let's try increasing the release a little bit!
This is where a good visual element can help massively. You want your release to have time to reset to 0 (before the next bass hit) so that you don't start squishing the life out of your bass.
This will usually be around 50-150ms, so try to nail it down as best you can.
If your bass line has a lot of notes in quick succession, don't worry about hitting 0 before every single note – 2 or 3 times per bar should be fine.
Serial Compression
Remember when we said that 5-10 dB of compression can start feeling unnatural?
Let's say you want to compress your bass by 8dB.
Unlike the last example, where you'd adjust the threshold to hit around the 8dB mark, let's take a different approach.
For the ratio, attack time and release, keep the previous settings, but adjust your threshold to hit only 2 dB of compression.
For a more aggressive feel, you can up the ratio.
Now duplicate your compressor 4 times so that you end up with 4 compressors on your bass channel, all hitting 2 dB of gain reduction respectively.
This is essentially the same as having 8dB of gain reduction on a single compressor. However, the result will be a much more dynamic and natural sounding bass.
This works because you're using compression to bring up the dynamics of your signal a small step at a time, rather than taking a big brush and painting over everything.
Parallel compression
Parallel compression is a slightly different concept. With the previous two techniques, we use compression for gain reduction; flattening your sound and bringing focus to the dynamics of your bass.
Parallel compression is a tool to bring out details in your audio, that normally, you wouldn't be able to hear. Unlike previously, where you dropped a compressor on the audio channel and had it affect the whole thing, you'll be putting the compressor on a send track.
Essentially we want two separate signals; a clean signal and a compressed one that we'll mix together.
Unlike the settings on the previous two techniques (which are subtle), if we're doing parallel compression, we'll be slamming the compressor as much as possible.
Solo the send track and try to get a super dynamic, rough and aggressive sound that has all the nice little details that weren't audible in the mix before.
A fast attack time, high ratio and low threshold are the best things to start off with if you're slamming your compressor.
After you've set it up, just layer the send with the original bass sound and adjust the volume of your send, so that all that you hear from the compressor are those nice little details, while the clean bass provides all the body and thickness.
TIP: Parallel compression is an incredibly useful tool and can be used on anything from compressing drums, to vocals, to bass guitar and anything else. It's an essential mixing tool, that you need to learn.
How To Mix Kick & Bass Perfectly
You have your bass sound, you're chugging along, making your track, and you come to mix it. You notice the Kick and the Bass just competing for that space in the low end.
Spectral Slotting
Essentially it's carving out space for your kick and bass signal , to play together nicely.
Decide on what's more important in your track, the kick or the bass. Which is the element that is the centre of the track?
Drop an EQ on the least important track, let's say it's the bass, and carve out space in the frequency range for the kick.
Let's say your kick fundamental frequency is 80Hz, scoop out around 3-4 dB at 80Hz, with a bell curve on the bass EQ.
This will make your kick and bass play together, without blowing each other out.
Sidechain Compression
If spectral slotting doesn't get you all the way there, and you want your kick drum and bass to play off each other more and create a "pumping feeling"
You can use compression for this! Sidechain Compression is the tool for the job. Set up your sidechain on your bass track by routing your kick channel into the compressor.
Now, the compressor will respond to your kick signal, rather than the bass signal, effectively turning the compressor on and off in time with the kick.
As for settings, you should, again be hitting around 5-10 dB, with a fast attack. The amount of compression here will determine how defined you want your pumping sound to be.
For the release, listen to your bass and kick signal , and adjust your release so that the compressor has time to recover to 0, before the next kick hit.
For a more pronounced pumping feeling, you can increase the threshold and make the attack a little slower.
Make sure to use your ears here, overdoing a sidechain can easily lead to a lot of lost dynamics in your bass.
Trust your ears, but a gain reduction meter can help if you're not confident.
Finishing up
So, that brings us to a close for this little bass mixing tutorial. Remember that, in music there's rarely a thing as a standard.
We've prepared guidelines for you to follow & help you work out the best settings in your situation. It's up to you now to adjust our methods to your workflow. Or just disregard them, it's up to you mate! | eng | 9d586877-2220-4e29-8b8a-18f15c8780e5 | https://www.whippedcreamsounds.com/how-to-compress-bass/ |
The Mary Dugdale at Night, River Tawe, Swansea, circa 1840
Here the Mary Dugdale sits peacefully on the River Tawe at night, but the toxic smoke from the copper smelting works tells us that not everyone was at peace. Furnaces operated around the clock, with adults and children as young as nine risking their lives in a workplace where injury and death were commonplace.
The moonlight's reflection on the water offers an inviting path out to the open sea. The Mary Dugdale would accept this invitation many times, sailing around the hazardous waters of the Cape Horn off the coast of southern Chile and on to the port of Valparaiso to collect its cargo of copper ore from Santiago before returning to Swansea. As well as being a merchant vessel, the Mary Dugdale carried thousands of migrants from Ireland to Port Adelaide. Although life was hard for new arrivals on the Adelaide coast, you can't help wondering how Swansea's factory workers might have responded to the fresh air and unspoiled farmland of South Australia. | eng | 0a9b4840-8a45-43d5-904b-40b5588e5567 | https://www.swanseamad.com/the-mary-dugdale-at-night-river-tawe-swansea-circa-1840/ |

Why Do You Develop Cavities Despite Brushing Twice A Day?
We
have learned so much about forming better habits while staying at home
during the pandemic. However, there are so many things that we still
don't understand about oral hygiene. For instance, why do some people
develop cavities even after brushing twice a day? What are the reasons
for cavity formation? What time should we brush our teeth? In this
article, we will try to cover some advice provided by the best dentist in Overland Park.
Why do cavities form?
You
probably know that the food we eat leads to a buildup of plaque in our
mouth. This plaque accumulates at multiple places in the mouth. At the
same time, the plaque gets digested by bacteria that inhabit the mouth.
These bacteria digest the plaque and produce acid as a byproduct. Once
the acid is released, it can start reacting with minerals present in the
teeth. This is how cavities form.
It
takes a time of approximately 1 hour for your mouth to return to normal
pH. If you keep consuming food, again and again, the restoration
process keeps on continuing the same way all the time.
What can you do to remineralize the teeth?
Saliva
is naturally basic and helps neutralize the acid formed on the teeth.
You can try to neutralize the acid present in the mouth by using
acid-action toothpaste. Fluoride products like mouthwash, toothpaste,
water, etc. can also be used to effectively counter the acid produced in
the mouth.
Best time to brush teeth
It
is important to brush two times a day. But it's more important to brush
at a particular time of the day. Brushing your teeth is the first thing
you should do in the morning. This is because bacteria build-up is at
its peak during the night. Brushing in the morning helps in reducing the
amount of acid that will be created when you take breakfast. Similarly,
brushing before going to bed can help reduce the amount of acid that
will be formed in the mouth. You can visit a reputable affordable Dentist in Lenexa to find out a solution to these problems.

What's the secret to pasta perfection? It begins with cooking pasta itself. The National Pasta Association recommends the following steps to cook pasta perfectly every time:
1. Boil 4 to 6 quarts of water for one pound of dry pasta. (You can divide this recipe depending on how much pasta you are cooking.)
2. Add the pasta with a stir and return the water to a boil.
3. Stir the pasta occasionally during cooking.
4. Follow the package directions for cooking times. If the pasta is to be used as part of a dish that requires further cooking, undercook the pasta by 1/3 of the cooking time specified on the package.
5. Taste the pasta to determine if it is done. Perfectly cooked pasta should be "al dente," or firm to the bite, yet cooked through.
6. Drain pasta immediately and follow the rest of the recipe.
Reheating Pasta
To reheat cooked pasta, portion out the amount you need and place in boiling water. For extra-easy draining, you can place the pasta in a stainless steel colander or strainer and then submerge in boiling water. Count 40 to 60 seconds of re-heating time for a four-ounce serving. Drain the pasta well, toss with sauce and serve immediately. Pasta can also be reheated in the microwave oven. Reheat single servings on high for 45 seconds at a time, checking between intervals for doneness.
To create the perfect pasta dish, you must also pair it with the right sauce. The National Pasta Association recommends pairing thin, delicate pastas (like angel hair or thin spaghetti)are better served with lighter, thin sauces. If it's a heavier sauce you crave, it's better to stick with thicker pasta shapes, like fettuccine. Pasta shapes with holes or ridges, like mostaccioli or radiatore, are perfect for chunkier sauces.
Now that you know the basics, grab a fork and dig into our newest pasta recipe using Jeff's Naturals!
Boil water for pasta. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown chicken strips until no longer pink in the middle, about 3 minutes on each side. Add sun dried tomatoes and crushed garlic to skillet. Sauté for 2 minutes. In the meantime, add the fresh pasta to the boiling water, cook until al dente, about 5 minutes.
Add the basil, artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives and crumbled feta cheese to the skillet. Sauté 1 minute. Stir in cream. Strain pasta and transfer to a large pasta bowl. Add the chicken sauté to the pasta and toss. | eng | b094a242-372a-4e96-ac5b-192472536819 | https://jeffsgardenfoods.com/blog/how-to-prepare-the-perfect-pasta-dish/ |

The Rocky Rambo Body
Achieving the Stallone Physique: Incorporating LA Muscle Norateen X into Your Workout Regimen Undoubtedly, Sylvester Stallone's remarkable physique, maintained throughout his career, has become an inspiration to fitness enthusiasts worldwide. The iconic "Rocky" and "Rambo" star is an embodiment of fitness dedication, displaying a muscular, ripped body that is the result of years of intense training and balanced nutrition. This article explores the essential strategies Stallone implemented to sculpt his enviable physique and how LA Muscle Norateen X, a potent muscle and strength testosterone booster with pure Beta Ecdysterone, can assist in attaining similar results.
Understanding Stallone's Fitness Journey Building a physique like Sylvester Stallone does not occur overnight. It requires significant effort, determination, and consistency. Stallone's workout routine has primarily focused on high-volume and intense exercises, complemented by a carefully planned, high-protein diet. Over the years, he has switched up his training routine, incorporating different training methodologies such as weight lifting, functional training, and even pilates to improve his flexibility and core strength.
Sylvester Stallone's Workout Routine Stallone usually engaged in intense training six days a week, spending hours at the gym, lifting weights, and performing various cardiovascular exercises. He preferred starting with a warm-up, consisting of a light jog or some stretches, followed by weight training, which was crucial to building and maintaining his muscular physique. Compound exercises, including squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, were staple elements of his workout regimen. These exercises helped stimulate multiple muscle groups, promoting overall muscle growth. Stallone's workout also incorporated cardio routines, such as running and boxing, to enhance endurance and burn fat, contributing to his lean, ripped appearance. High-intensity interval training (HIIT) was also a vital part of his routine, allowing him to burn calories efficiently while preserving his hard-earned muscle mass.
Diet and Nutrition A well-planned diet is equally important as a good workout regimen for attaining and maintaining a muscular and ripped physique. Stallone followed a high-protein diet with moderate carbohydrates and low fats, ensuring his body had the necessary nutrients for muscle recovery and growth. He typically ate five to six small meals a day, spacing them evenly throughout the day to keep his metabolism active.
LA Muscle Norateen X: A Key Ingredient to Success While natural diet and exercise are fundamental, incorporating a testosterone booster like LA Muscle's Norateen X can aid significantly in achieving a physique like Stallone's. Norateen X is specially designed to boost testosterone levels, which aids in muscle growth, strength gain, and fat loss. The key ingredient in Norateen X is a special Pharma Grade Beta Ecdysterone, a plant-derived compound known for its potent anabolic effects. Research has shown that Beta Ecdysterone can stimulate protein synthesis and muscle growth, leading to increased strength and endurance.
How to Incorporate Norateen X into Your Routine To effectively use Norateen X in your fitness journey, it's important to align its intake with your diet and exercise plan. Consuming the supplement according to the recommended dosage, usually around your workout and meal times, allows you to maximise its benefits. Take 2 tablets of Norateen X, 3 times a day. It's crucial to ensure a balanced diet rich in proteins, complex carbs, and healthy fats to provide your body with the necessary nutrients.
Achieving a physique like Sylvester Stallone's is a commitment requiring discipline, consistency, and the right tools. By following a rigorous workout routine, maintaining a balanced diet, and supplementing with a potent testosterone booster like LA Muscle Norateen X, you can make significant strides towards building a muscular and ripped body. Remember, consistency is the key | eng | e13c41cc-f519-4b83-a23d-b6dac7cf90f2 | https://australia.lamuscle.com/blogs/the-lounge/the-rocky-rambo-body |

Toenail Fungus Q & A
What is toenail fungus?
Toenail fungus (onychomycosis) is an infection affecting your toenails. The first sign of toenail fungus is a small yellowish or white spot on the nail — usually the big toe, but it can affect any nail. The fungus gradually spreads, penetrating the toenail and making it thicker, discolored, or crumbly.
Anyone can get toenail fungus, but people with diabetes and other conditions affecting blood flow in the foot and ankle are more at risk.
What symptoms does toenail fungus cause?
You could have toenail fungus if one or more nails are:
Thick
Yellow, green, or black
Ragged
Brittle
Misshapen
Crumbly
Smelly
As the infection gets worse, the toenail can separate from its bed and become loose.
Over-the-counter antifungal treatments are available, but if your symptoms don't improve or your condition worsens, visit Kyrou Podiatry Associates for expert treatment. You must get timely toenail fungus treatment if you have diabetes or other conditions that increase your risk of infection or ulcers (open, nonhealing wounds).
Your doctor completes a thorough toe and toenail exam. They consider the nail's color, condition, and thickness and take some toenail clippings. The clippings go for lab analysis to confirm the diagnosis — though less common, psoriasis and other skin problems can cause similar symptoms.
To reduce your risk of reinfection, keep your toenails clean and dry and trim them regularly (cutting straight across and not too short to prevent ingrown toenails). Wear shoes and socks that help draw sweat away from your feet, keep your feet clean, and don't share footwear or walk barefoot. | eng | 8914b880-345e-4a00-8f52-11f19529f8dd | https://www.kyroupodiatryassociates.com/service/toenail-fungus |
How you can use interactive content to increase engagement and information retention
Consider this: Your brain is mainly an image processor (much of our sensory cortex is devoted to vision), so doesn't it make sense that when you want to engage others whether in business, education or other forms of communication you utilize visual cues?
We are highly visual beings
Think about it. When you meet someone for the first time the initial sensory triggers are visual. You don't for example first wonder how a person sounds or what their personality is like; instead you first glance at the visual cues. It is the first thing you are presented with. Imagine the first date you ever had; from a male perspective we often first look at the face, posture and the curves, while majority of females pay attention to the height and clothes of their counterpart.
The roots of visual cues are deeply embedded in various aspects of our lives. Visual perception is a part of our culture and it has been since our great ancestors; and in case of communication it is extremely important.
Let's look at it from a brand perspective. A brand is the foundation of an entity and it is used to fuel the marketing of products. It can make or break companies. Think Coca Cola. It's simply sugar water and caramel color, infused with carbon dioxide. But do you see it as just a mixture of a few inexpensive ingredients? Or when you hear the name Coca Cola do you think of the red and white color and the fontstyle and all the smiles it represents. As a result for generations it has become one of the top recognized brands in the world.
Let's also look at Apple. The culture and the products are based on simplicity of design thanks to the somewhat addictive personality of the late Steve Jobs and his deep passion for clean design. Apple's logo , and product line ooze simplicity. The brand gives you visual cues to the clean simple interface, the soft curves and the feel of software that powers it. Apple understands visualization and they are damn good at using it in all aspects of their marketing.
The list can go on. Call it superficial, but no matter what you call it, we as humans are visual beings so it makes perfect sense when engaging others you do so in a visual manner.
This is where visualization and interactivity comes into play. To communicate we often translate what we visually think and see as words and gestures which are then formed into speech, blogs, articles, books and so forth. Your audience will read or hear this content and in turn visualize the content to understand and store it as long term memory.
Think about the last book you read. As you read pages of content your mind tries to perceive what each character and scene looks like. Often you have to resort to prior experiences to create a picture of what your reading. And every so often you come across a sketch or drawing in between chapters which greatly enhances your perception of what the writer is trying to portray to you.
The combination of content supported by visual cues does wonders to how the reader is able to better understand and absorb the content presented to them. And that is why static content supported with visual elements greatly enhances the rate of your audience understands and stores the information presented to them.
Let's take a mini quiz. Look briefly at each item below for 5 seconds and look away. Which one do you remember moments after you look away?
Example: Static Content
Example: Static Graphic
Now let's play the animation below; It's the same information from the examples above but it contains a touch of interactivity. Play it and see how with each passing moment your visual cues combined with simple text and content is soaked up like a sponge by your mind.
Here's the kicker. In two days look back to what you saw on this article and think about which of the three examples you still remember something about. (Tip: It'll be the interactive example)
You may not remember every detail, but you will recall intermittent frames; and once you remember and visualize a piece of something it opens up the possibility for your mind to try to stitch together the missing frames.
Images get embed deeply into our minds and are easier to retrieve than a paragraph of content explaining the picture.
I believe a combination of interactive content and motion graphics are the ultimate visual cue to get a message across.
Great, but what dtoes this all mean for you? A whole lot.
If you ever need to present information to an audience (be it in writing as a blog, a resume, a presentation in person or online) regardless of the audience your utmost goal is to connect and allow your audience to understand as much of the information as possible. And this is where the utilization of visual and interactive content comes into play.
Don't take my word for it. Consider the numerous research that backs up this notion:
"Overall animation increases performance with better learning results and less effort. However, visual cues rated better than replacing visual text with spoken text. Multimedia materials using both words and pictures have the highest instructional efficiency for retention and transfer. (Source University of South Alabama)
This is why TV Ads are one of the most effective means of branding. Don't believe me?
Here's a simple test. Think about the last Advertisement that you remember from the past few months. Was is it a static banner on some site or newspaper, a colorful magazine print Ad, or was it an Ad you saw on TV? The first things that come to my mind are:
2- The iPhone Ad's recent Camera Promotion (More people take pictures with iPhones than any other handheld device)
3- Oh and the very low budget Ad from "Do you need cash now?" (So annoying I can't help to remember it)
They all have one thing in common: They're short and communicate the pitch in a visual and interactive manner.
Now for the majority, TV Ads are too expensive or not even needed. For many the audience is a small niche group; whether in a classroom, a corporate meeting or web audience you should seriously consider using Interactivity within your content.
Note the word "within". This is not about replacing the form of communication you are using, but instead enhancing or supplementing visual and motion into your existing work. You may already write great content and it may do just fine by itself, but it could grab your user attention and enhance retention if it also utilized visualization.
For example if you are a blogger you want to continue creating blogs but consider supporting your articles with images and visual representations.
Take this blog post you are reading. Rather than giving you strictly text, I have used a variety of graphics and interactive features to support my content. Although the article is long it is broken into piece with visual content and broken into multiple short paragraphs. Most visitors will scheme through the content and read what catches their attention. So further more visual cues will increase the content stickiness.
Don't forget balance As with anything else, the key is moderation. Use interactivity in a clean and simple manner because your brain can only absorb so much. (How much of the last Star Trek movie's special effects do you actually remember?) Two hours of non-stop action packed extravaganza where t you remember just glimpses of the action in key areas much. Why? Because your visual cortex can only absorb so much at any given time.
Give it too little or too much and it will be counterproductive; give it a good balance and it will make a noticeable difference.
"It is also important to recognize that when creating materials to keep them brief, concise and on topic. Adding additional topics in an animated format can become confusing. Irrelevant, although sometimes interesting, facts can result in lower transfer performance." (Source: University of South Alabama)
Make it Meaningful and Creative and it will be effective.
Enough about the importance; by now I'm sure we've proven the point on the importance of visualization of content. So let's talk about the approaches you can take to incorporate it into your own work.
The fact is all forms of communication translate to some form of content, but not all translate to meaningful content. As a communicator translating your message into an easy to understand format (and one that is memorable) should be at top of your list.
When and where should you incorporate interactivity to your content?
For most the communications are short to medium pieces of content formed into individual documents, articles, blog posts or even presentations. Integrate visual components to support your content to increase engagement and information retention.
A rule I like to follow is when I come back to read through my own content, if I don't understand or unable to comprehend it after one quick read, it is either not well written or requires further support to visualize it. So I may include multiple images and interactive elements in one blog post and other times I may include only a piece or two. It really depends on the length and the scope of the content being written.
How can you create more Engaging Interactive Content?
There are number of options, some you have to pay for and some are free. For the average person most of these tools are either too limited or difficult to use and require a high learning curve. I have listed tools I have personally used before and experience with each one:
PowerPoint and Keynote: Two well knows presentation programs that pretty much started the presentation craze. PowerPoint is from Microsoft and Keynote is from Apple. Both are desktop based applications that must be installed on a computer. They're okay for creating static Presentations, but when it comes to creating highly visual and interactive versions you need to go through the learning curve.
Pros: Everyone has heard of PowerPoint and most of Keynote. They Can work offline and save your work locally. Can create simple presentations with limited interactivity pretty quickly.
Cons: They can only be installed on your computer you have license for. Limitation in publishing content on the web as it is not a hosted solution. And both tools have limitation in interactivity unless you spend the extra time to bring in graphic assets from other programs and learn the animation features.
Photoshop: The king of image and photo editing from Adobe. Virtually every professional designer and photographer utilizes it.
Pros: Very powerful. Great for professionals and offers a lot of filters and features if you take the time to learn your way around the user interface.
Cons: Costly and high learning curve. Not really meant for the average Joe. It's also mainly for static images not interactive content. And be prepared to pay a few hundred dollars or more to purchase.
Flash: Formerly a product of Macromedia and later Purchased by Adobe, Flash is a great animation tool and up until around 2009 was the interactive tool of choice for the web. Not an image editing application but mainly to add motion to your content.
Pros: Fairly powerful and tool of choice for nearly all professional web designers for interactive content up to 2009/2010.
Cons: Costly. The tables have turned against flash since Apple stopped supporting it on their mobile devices. Flash requires a plug-in to play. Content you create will not be viewable on iPhone / iPad devices. Flash also has a bit of a learning curve and not really meant for the beginner user.
Prezi: is a web-based presentation application. It's a little different than PowerPoint and Keynote which are based on multiple Slides. Prezi is more like a giant slide where you lay your content and can zoom in and out to different areas of the slide to tell your story.
Pros: It's free. It has a unique transition effect; you can zoom to areas you want user to concentrate on as you tell a story. You can create neat presentations as long as you spend some time to learn how to manipulate the transition to fit your story.
Cons: It's also based on Flash so you need to use a Flash plugin or their free player on mobile devices to view the content. You are also pretty much restricted to one type of transition (zoom in/out). I sat through a medium length presentation and started to feel a bit of vertigo.
Presenter: A fairly new Web Application that has taken the most popular features of PowerPoint, and Flash and combined them into an easy to use cloud based application that allows creation of not just Presentations but animations, infographics, banners and other interactive forms of content.
Pros: It's free. Cloud based so you can access it anywhere and with multitude of publish options including ability to post to any website or blog (the animation on this blog is an embed of a Presenter project), push projects to your social network, or download as standard image or PDF format. Last but not least published content can be viewed on any device including Smart Phones and Tablets.
Cons: It is in Beta as of June 2013. Although becoming highly stable you may once in a while find a small issue here and there.
Google Slides: Google's take at an online based version of Powerpoint / Keynote. It's very light and thus offers general functionality for very basis presentations. If basic is your cup of tea Google Slides might be for you.
Pros: It's free. Very simple tool for creating basis Presentations. If your familiar with PowerPoint and Keynote, the principals of using Slides is the same. It's cloud based so you can access it from anywhere.
Cons: Sometimes too much of a good thing is a bad thing. Simple can mean boring and with Google Slides it's really mean to generate simple slide shows with basic transition effects. If you want to create a fairly engaging experience you'd need to rely on bringing your own graphics and assets and find it difficult to go beyond the simple transitions it offers you.
These are just a few examples. I could list many more, but they are the ones I've personally used and my experience with them. You can try what works best for you. I'm Personally sold on Presenter; perhaps I'm biased but the truth is it has some key advantages over other apps and it's what works for me.
You see your content can have true potential to grab your audience!
So here we are. By no means do I consider myself a good writer; english was not my best subject. But if you made it this far then I got your attention long enough to get you through this long article assuming you're not one of those readers who skips the cool stuff and jumps to the end of an article.
Now imagine if there were no images or any interactive components, you may have found the length of this article overwhelming and lost your interest.
Have you used Interactive content in your communication? Like to hear your experience with them. And if you haven't used any of the tools mentioned you should definitely give them a try to leverage your communication skills.

Why did Spain lose its colonies?
Why did Spain lose its colonies?
There were many reasons that the Spanish lost colonies in America. The decline of territories coincided with the loss of power and wealth in Spain itself. The Spanish lost Puerto Rico, Cuba, and the Philippines in its defeat in the Spanish-American War.
How did Spain defeat the empires of the New World?
Spanish conquistadors, who were primarily poor nobles from the impoverished west and south of Spain, were able to conquer the huge empires of the New World with the help of superior military technology, disease (which weakened indigenous resistance), and military tactics including surprise attacks and powerful …
What happened to Spain's colonies in the New World?
In the early 19th century, the Spanish American wars of independence resulted in the secession and subsequent division of most Spanish territories in the Americas, except for Cuba and Puerto Rico, which were lost to the United States in 1898, following the Spanish–American War.
What contributed to the native population decline in Spain's New World colonies?
Storming of the Teocalli by Cortez and His Troops: While epidemic disease was by far the leading cause of the population decline of the American indigenous peoples after 1492, there were other contributing factors–all of them related to European contact and colonization.
How did Spain lose all of the colonies in the Western worldWhat did Spain do to the Indians?
1. What did the Spanish do to the Natives? They enslaved them and took their food.
Does Spain still have any colonies?
These were geographic locations with bountiful natural resources and strategic ports on popular trade routes. To this day, Spain still holds territories abroad in places like Ceuta and Melilla in North Africa, but many of its previous colonies have been lost in the wars of history.
How many Native American tribes were there before colonization?
These people grouped themselves into approximately six hundred tribes and spoke diverse dialects. European colonists initially encountered Native Americans in three distinct regions.
What led to the decline of the native American population?
War and violence. While epidemic disease was by far the leading cause of the population decline of the American indigenous peoples after 1492, there were other contributing factors, all of them related to European contact and colonization. One of these factors was warfare.
How the Spanish gain control of the New World?
The Spanish gained an early foothold in the colonies, quickly becoming the most powerful European power in the New World. In the European race to colonial dominance, the Treaty of Tordesillas legitimized Spain's holdings in the New World, indicating Spanish primacy over Portugal.
What was the culture of the Spanish colonies?
Colonial Culture. Though influenced by Spanish traditions from the Iberian peninsula, the culture that emerged in the colonial New World was a mixture of European, African, and local Native customs.
What was the impact of the Spanish conquistadores?
By 1600, Spain had reaped substantial monetary benefits from New World resources. Gold and silver began to connect European nations through trade, and the Spanish money supply ballooned, which signified the beginning of the economic system known as capitalism. The new riches ultimately created mass inflation and economic distress.
What was the economy of the Spanish Empire?
By the early seventeenth century, when the output of precious metals began a long decline, the economy and society of Spanish America had stabilized. Colonial products—sugar, tobacco, chocolate, cotton, hides, and much else— flowed out of Latin America in exchange for manufactured goods and for services. | eng | 25dfcc3b-f5c3-4538-bd99-98c1fda28738 | https://runyoncanyon-losangeles.com/blog/why-did-spain-lose-its-colonies/ |
What is the difference between the original and resale ticket prices?
When a popular event is first announced, tickets usually go on sale through official channels such as the venue's website or a ticketing platform like Ticketmaster. These are sold at face value, which is the price set by the event organizer.
The face value of a ticket is typically determined by various factors, including the cost of putting on the event, the popularity of the performers or teams, and the size of the venue. However, once the initial batch is sold out, many people who missed out on the purchase may turn to resale sites such as StubHub, Vivid Seats, or SeatGeek.
These sites allow individuals to sell their tickets to others at a price of their choosing, often above the original face value. As a result, the resale price can be significantly higher than its original one.
Price difference: there are advantages and risks
As shown by ExpressVPNs, the price of tickets can vary significantly between their original sale and resale. This difference is mainly due to supply and demand and the fact that reselling has become a lucrative industry in recent years.
Precisely, one of the reasons for the high resale prices is the laws of supply and demand. When a popular event is sold out, the demand increases, but the supply remains the same.
This can lead to a situation where sellers can charge more for their tickets because people are willing to pay a premium to attend the event.
And because of this, users have very different experiences when it comes to this issue. While some are willing to pay a premium for sold-out events or to secure a specific seat, others find the high resale prices prohibitive.
Another factor that affects the resale price is the level of risk involved in the purchase. When buying a ticket from the original seller, there is little risk involved because the buyer can be sure that the pass is legitimate and will be accepted at the event.
However, when buying it from a resale site, there is a greater risk of fraud or counterfeit tickets. To compensate for this, sellers often charge higher prices.
Moreover, some events or performers have a loyal fan base willing to pay a premium for tickets.
For example, tickets for a popular band's farewell tour or a championship game in a major sport may be in high demand, and fans may be willing to pay more than the original price to secure their attendance.
In addition to the factors mentioned above, the timing of the purchase can also affect the resale price. In the weeks leading up to an event, sellers may lower their prices in an attempt to guarantee their sales before the event.
On the other hand, buyers who wait until the last minute to purchase tickets may end up paying a higher price because of the increased demand and decreased supply of available ones.
Price difference: other things you need to know
Despite the high resale prices, there are some advantages to buying tickets from a resale site. For example, buyers may be able to find them for sold-out events that they would otherwise have missed out on.
Furthermore, resale sites often offer a greater selection of seats and ticket types, allowing buyers to choose the best seat for their budget.
However, there are also some risks associated with buying them from resale sites. For example, as mentioned earlier, there is a risk of fraud or counterfeit tickets. Additionally, some sellers may not deliver the tickets as promised or may cancel the sale after receiving payment.
To mitigate these risks, it's important to use a reputable resale site and read reviews from other buyers before purchasing.
Truth be told, the difference between the original price and the resale price can be significant, with resale ones regularly higher due to supply and demand, risk, fan loyalty, and timing.
While there are advantages to buying tickets from a resale site, buyers should also be aware of the risks involved and take steps to mitigate them.
As always, it's important to do your research and buy from reputable sellers to ensure a positive ticket-buying | eng | 1f2c0ec5-8d20-4c4b-aad9-735b5e5b37a0 | https://ultimatecapper.com/what-is-the-difference-between-the-original-and-resale-ticket-prices-161932/ |
The real facts behind the birth of Jesus and the historic PROOF that Christ
lived have been intentionally suppressed! Read these remarkable Bible-confirming
records from all over the ancient world!
HISTORIANS deny that Jesus Christ ever lived! "But then,
historians are privileged LIARS" (Wilberforce's Spain, p. 11). Right! Some of
these same historians, professors and critics who deny Christ know better! They
know Jesus lived - the records of history are full of proof. The truth is
available. But the writers of history refuse to tell the whole truth! The truth
is, exciting history and additional proof of Christ IS MISSING - missing from
modern textbooks, pulpits and classrooms! The truth is, in Jesus' day THE WHOLE
WORLD expected a Messiah, a world-ruling Savior! The truth is, Jesus' birth was
officially recorded by the Romans! These startling facts are available. Why
haven't historians told you before?
Does History Lie?
History cannot lie! The trouble is, historians can !
Take two examples from modern history. Which story would you
believe about the Mexico-Texas war? The Mexican version calls the Americans
"rebels"; the U. S. version calls the Americans "heroes." Which
would you believe: the World War I1 story taught in West Germany today - which
whitewashes or ignores Hitler? Or the story written by those who died fighting
Hitler?
Obviously, both stories are not completely true . . . they are
"slanted," biased !
Ancient and famous authorities tell us the same type of slanting
was going on in their day!
Polybius (a very reliable Greek historian of the 2nd Century,
about 201-120 B. C.) divides history writers into three classes. Some write and
"slant" history for pay; they tell what someone wants to hear. Some write for
the vanity of display; they write what sounds good. Lastly, some write for the
truth (see Histories, Introduction p. xiv, Loeb edition, Bk. 16.14).
Three kinds of histories . . . what kind have you been reading?
More startling is the story of Procopius. The Roman Emperor
Justinian commissioned Procopius to write something glorifying himself, the
emperor. Procopius was faced with the same problem all historians face: "If he
writes what people wish to believe, he must frequently violate his conscience;
if he writes the full truth, A STORM OF INDIGNATION MAY OVERWHELM HIM."
Justinian could not stand the truth; Procopius could not afford to risk his own
chances for success by publishing truth.
How did he solve such a frightening problem? "By describing both
sides of a question in different volumes" (Atwater's Introduction to Procopius'
Secret History, 550 A. D.).
Clever Procopius. He wrote a flattering volume to please the emperor - for
publication. He wrote the real truth in a private volume (the Anecdota or
Secret History) - for safekeeping. (Emphasis ours throughout. )
Procopius does not prove that history lies - rather, he
proves that historianslie. He should know...
Procopius himself says in his foreword to the Secret History:
"You see, it was not possible, during the life of certain persons
[the Emperor, etc.], to write the truth of what they did, as a
historian should. If I had, their hordes of spies would have put me to a
most horrible death. I could not even trust my nearest relatives. That is why I
WAS COMPELLED TO HIDE THE REAL EXPLANATION OF MANY MATTERS glossed over
in my previous book. . . I find it hard indeed to have to stammer and retract
what I have written before."
Now you see that motives and prejudices drastically affect what
historians write-and what they refuse to write. Now you realize history writers
do not always tell the whole story! Now you need to know what historians
refused to reveal about the greatest figure who ever lived : Jesus Christ.
The "missing record" of Jesus will give you unshakable proof -
outside of the Bible - that Christ really existed. And do not kid yourself that
you "don't need proof" or that you "shouldn't try to prove, just believe"! You-
as a human - need proof all right, and God says "Prove all things . . ." (I
Thess 5:21).
Did Prophecy Fail?
If historians told all the facts at their disposal, we would
know absolutely that a dramatic Bible prophecy about Jesus Christ was literally
fulfilled. Refusing to admit historic proof, many Bible translators and
historians have rejected the marvelous prediction of Haggai.
Some have even concluded that prophecy failed. Not so! You will
soon see abundant proof, but first, the prophecy. Haggai 2 :6-9 gives an amazing
prophecy of Jesus Christ. "For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is
a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and
the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations
shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. The
silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. The
glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD
of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts." The
King James phrase "the desire of all nations" does apply to JESUS CHRIST!
However many commentators reject this translation-through prejudice, or through
lack of history to show the truth of it.
Let's understand. Prophecy is dual. That means prophecy is
fulfilled twice: first in a small way, then in a big way. Haggai's prediction
was fulfilled for the first time, right on schedule, in the days of Herod and
Christ. Of course, the final fulfillment will be even bigger - and it is coming
in our day! But the first time is what concerns us now. Here are the
predictions, and the facts which fulfill the predictions, as they came to pass.
"I will shake all nations" - the internal and external wars of
Rome in Europe, Britain, the Mediterranean Sea, Egypt, and in Palestine; the
fall of three great dynasties : Roman Republic, Egyptian Ptolemy's, the Syrian
Seleucid . . .all in the first century B. C. The Roman Empire dominated the
world; therefore the wars which shook Rome at this time shook the earth.
"The glory of this latter house [built by Zerubbabel] shall be
greater than of the former [built by Solomon]." Now although Herod remodeled
Zerubbabel's second Temple, he did not surpass the glory of Solomon's Temple.
How did God give this inferior Temple more glory than Solomon's first one? (For
proof that the second was inferior to the first, see Ezra 3:12, where the people
who had seen the first house wept with disappointment at the sight of the
second.) How could God make the inferior one into a superior? The answer is
simple. Send the Desire of all nations into the Second Temple! !
Jesus Christ-whom we will soon prove was the "Desire of all
nations" - entered that Second Temple and glorified it beyond any building in
all history (see Luke 2:22-26). God's very Son announced salvation in that
Temple ! Read John 7 : 14-43. Jesus proclaimed, "If any man thirst, let him come
unto ME [God] and drink," which showed He was of God, that He had the Holy
Spirit to offer, that men could be saved. No wonder the Jews refuse to translate
Haggai 2 properly. The "desire of all nations" condemns them.
While all authoritative Jewish sources (Jewish Encyclopedia,
Talmud, Rabbis) admit Jesus walked in the Second Temple, they reject Him AS the
Messiah. They must then reject the prophecy of a Messiah or "Desire," because
that Temple was destroyed in 70 A. D. Either Christ came to the Temple before 70
A. D., or Haggai and the Old Testament are FALSE. Quite a problem for a Jew,
isn't it? The Jewish solution is to change the translation of Haggai. God's
answer is to prove that prophecy does not fail!
Was Christ "DESIRED"?
But can you prove that Jesus Christ was desired by the nations
of that day? Indeed you can! The historic proof of this startling fact has been
cast aside, ignored!
How many nations desired Christ? Let's begin with the most
obvious -the nation of Judah-and work outward to find our answer.
JEWS- A reliable and great historian, Josephus
(who incidentally also says in the Introduction, Antiquities, that some
historians falsify facts due to wrong motives) shows the Pharisees who had
killed Christ still expected a Savior. " . . .But what more than all else
incited them to war was an ambiguous oracle, likewise found in their sacred
scriptures [they knew prophecy], to the effect that at that time ONE FROM THEIR
COUNTRY WOULD BECOME RULER OF THE WORLD. This they understood to mean someone of
their own race, and many of their wise men went astray in their interpretation
of it" (from Wars, 6.5.4, Loeb Translation, Vol. 111, p.467). See also
Antiquities, 17.2.4, where 6,000 Jews clearly believed in "HIM who would some
day be set over the people WITH THE TITLE OF KING, HIM.'' Though these clever
Jews misapplied the prophecy to save their own skins, they had knowledge of
Christ's coming and they DESIRED HIM.
Cruel Herod, fully persuaded (and fearing) that the Jewish
nation was not only desirous of a divine king, but also expecting him AT THIS
TIME (due to Daniel's 70 Weeks' Prophecy which dates Christ's coming), launched
a temple-remodeling program intended to show he - Herod -was the fulfillment of
Haggai's prophecy ! Analyze carefully Haggai's words and Herod's speech in
Josephus, Antiquities 15.1 1.1. There you have absolute proof the Jewish nation
awaited the desired Christ. But did pagan nations desire Christ?
GREEKS - Plato, probably the most famous
philosopher of ancient history, and a true representative of Greek culture,
shows the Greek desire for Christ. Speaking through the character Alcibiades (on
the subject of religion) Plato says: "It is therefore necessary, to wait until
One teach us how we ought to behave towards the gods and men. When shall that
time arrive and who shall that Teacher be? For MOST GLAD WOULD I BE TO SEE SUCH
A MAN." An amazing pagan witness from 300 B. C. to Haggai's prophecy! The Greek
world desired Christ!
ROMANS-But the real rulers of the known world of
Christ's day were the Romans. What about them?? Tacitus, the royal historian of
Rome, tells us in Histories, 5.13, that in the 60's A. D., the East
expected a king to arise from Judea to rule the world! Startling as Tacitus'
pagan record is, it does not prove directly that the Romans, but rather that the
Jews, awaited the Messiah. Still, we have a more direct proof for the Romans.
Virgil, the greatest Latin poet, wrote nearly 40 years before
Christ "A GODLIKE CHILD SHALL BE B O R N , . . COME QUICKLY TO RECEIVE YOUR
POWER FOR ALL THE WORLD AWAITS YOU. Oh that I may live to see so noble a subject
for my verse!" (Eclogue IV, Lonsdale and Lee's Works of Virgil.) Virgil's
remarkable prophecy is based on the revelation of an earlier Roman prophetess:
The Sibyl of Cumae.
According to Suetonius, the Roman historian, the same famous
sibyl or woman prophet, said, "Nature is about to bring forth a king to the
Roman people" - 63 B. C. ! Obviously the king would be divine, since "nature"
was to bring Him forth. Obviously a true prophecy, since it came years before
Christ's birth. Obviously - since the Sibyl was well known- this prophecy was
well known and believed by many Roman people. Rome, which included Britain and
North Africa, was awaiting, in her limited understanding, for Jesus Christ! But
there is more.
The Mysterious East
"Throughout THE WHOLE EAST, an
ancient and constant opinion had familiarly prevailed; that they who proceeded
from Judea were fated to OBTAIN THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE WORLD" (Seutonius, Life
of Vespasiaz, chap. 4). But how far is "the whole east"? Probably Suetonius
himself did not realize how far his own statement applied: all the way to the
Pacific Ocean!
To a Roman of Suetonius' day, the "east" included modern Turkey,
Palestine-Jordan, and possibly Iraq to the Euphrates River. At the time of
Christ's birth, the Roman Empire extended eastward to Babylon on the Euphrates.
Another great empire began right there and spread further eastward into modern
Afghanistan, and up to India. That empire was Parthia.
PARTHIANS - The Magi of Matthew 2 who worshipped
Christ were Parthians. The Magi -travelling for nearly six months and 1200 miles
- clearly thought Christ was "the Desire of all nations"!
INDIANS - The priestly ruling class in India was
called "Brahmins." Apparently they too desired the Savior- possibly having heard
of Christ from the Parthian Magi. The fact is (according to ancient Indian
history) the ruler of India sent emissary to Palestine, 1 A.D., "to know whether
the predicted royal child had actually made his appearance" (Jones, Asiatic
Researches,Vol. X, p. 27-28). But the witness and the desire of Christ had gone
even farther in the pagan world!
CHINESE - Remember the famous sayings and jokes in
the name of ''Confucius say . . ."? Well, no joke this time. The Chinese
philosopher K'ung Fu-Tze, or Confucius, said in the early 500's B. C.: "The Holy
One must be sought in the West." His prophecy was carefully handed down from
father to son and, "in the year 64 after the Christian Era, the Emperor Mimti,
we are told, under the influence of this ancient expectation, sent messengers
westward into India, that there they might inquire for the long predicted Holy
One of Confucius" (Du Halde's China, Vol. I, p. 360, 361; Le Compte's China, p.
118, 200). The greatest Chinese thinker speaks for China. The Chinese DESIRE THE
HOLY ONE.
MAYANS (North America) - Spence, in Myth and
Legends, says that gods worshipped by this ancient people "had promised not to
desert mankind altogether, BUT TO RETURN at some future indefinite period and
resume their sway of radiance and peace" (Volume on Mexico and Peru, p. 169).
Amazing! Removed by thousands of years and thousands of miles from the Holy
Land, the Mayan Indians of Yucatan, Mexico - from ancient times-expected a
divine ruler to set up His government, just as did the Jews.
There you have it! THE WHOLE EARTH - from America to the Sea of
Japan - DESIRES THE CHRIST! Could anything be clearer? Prophecy has not
fulfilled! Haggai's words were literally fulfilled (for the first time, or type)
when the "Desire" - Jesus Christ - entered the Temple.
This "desire" in heathen and pagan lands is enough by itself as
a proof that Christ lived. But there is stronger proof.
Christ Officially Recorded
If you were an agnostic or atheist - and open-minded - you would
certainly believe Jesus lived, provided you found His name in a Roman Census
record - a record recorded on the spot. You would probably doubt that record if
a Christian said he saw it. But you would believe - again provided your mind was
not closed - if an atheist or Christian-hater said he saw it. Such a person
would have every reason to deny a record of Christ's birth, and no reason to
tell the world.
WE HAVE THAT RECORD-AND FROM A CHRISTIAN-HATER !
The Roman Emperor Julian (called "the Apostate" because he
turned from Christianity to paganism) attempted to destroy the Roman brand of
Christianity. He said, arguing for the pagan side: "Jesus, whom you celebrate,
was one of Caesar's subjects. If you dispute it, I will prove it by and by; hut
it may as well be done now. For you yourselves allow that he was enrolled with
his father and mother in the time of Cyrenius" (Nathaniel Lardner's Works, Vol.
7, p. 626-627).
Julian tried to destroy Christianity. . . but not by
denying Christ. Having possession of all the royal archives, Julian was willing
to admit Jesus was real, and was so confident of his sources that
he speaks defiantly -challenging Christians to check up if they don't believe.
No one would have challenged friend and foe alike to check the files, if
they didn't exist. No one would have risked his royal reputation and future,
by citing a false or nonexistent document.
Luke of course records this very census under Cyrenius - in his
Gospel, chapter two. But again historians have denied Luke and cried "fraud!"
"There is no evidence for this census; therefore it was never taken; Luke is
wrong!" -say the critics.
Their minds closed, the critics can do nothing when the real
proof comes in - except reject the evidence. But no fair-minded person can
reject Julian's testimony. No fair-minded person can reject the stone - found by
archaeologists in Rome, 1764 - which proves Cyrenius did rule Syria twice,
exactly when Luke says he did. THE ROMANS HAD THE CENSUS FIGURES JESUS AND HIS
FAMILY NAME RECORDED THERE as late as 350 A.D.!
Now the witness of a much earlier, closer-to-the-fact Christian
writer of 105 A.D. Justin Martyr said, "Now there is a village in the land of
the Jews, thirty-five stadia from Jerusalem, in which Christ was born, as you
can ascertain also from the registries of the taxing under Quirinius your first
procurator in Judaea" (First Apology, chapter 34). Justin - defending Christians
from government persecution-could make no greater mistake than appeal to public
records, UNLESS THESE RECORDS EXISTED. He would be checked up on immediately!
Why are these absolute historic proofs left out, missing from
textbooks, from pulpits, from history?? Now it can be told.
History's Hardest Hurdle
At last we can understand why historians lie about Jesus Christ.
Historians are human. Christ is divine. Humans -in their very nature, their very
makeup- DO NOT LIKE the divine. "For the carnal [natural, physical] mind IS
ENMITY against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can
be" (Romans 8:7).
We now know what historians have done when faced with something
they didn't like. They distorted, they twisted, they "slanted," they suppressed
and DESTROYED the truth! The trouble with histories you've been reading, or your
child has been reading, is that they were written by human beings filled with
carnal-minded rebellion against God !
Beautiful facts, amazing facts, wonderful facts have disappeared
because historians refused to accept GOD. Historians choose to ignore this plain
evidence because they want the Bible to seem odd, different, religious, removed
from real history, from reality! Moreover, other critics are now feverishly
trying to destroy even the truth of the Bible. Historians cannot hurdle the
barrier of human nature!
Let us be thankful there is abundant, mountainous, undeniable
proof that Jesus Christ lived. Let there be no doubts - God will soon return and
literally SHAKE THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH! (Haggai 2:6.) The "Desire of all
nations" will return again!!
Be sure you are rid of all your rebellion and human doubts
against your VERY CREATOR! History outside the Bible is only intended to bring
you to the truth that your Bible is inspired, VITAL TO YOUR VERY LIFE. | eng | a418068e-3129-43e6-98bb-8bd9dbac5717 | https://www.british-israel.ca/history_documents_jesus_christ.htm |
Risk Management
Write a 4-5 page paper, based on the natural environmental health risk selected in Week 3.
Explain why this naturally occurring risk is important enough for you to research it. This may include information from your risk analyses in Week 3 or other reasons, such as the number of stakeholders, recent incidents, or personal experience.

Justify the importance of these issues based on your research, and provide references to sources that support your analysis. To help guide your research and selection of these issues, note the following:
Scientific issues may include the fields of science involved in the study or mitigation of this risk or other issues.
Technological issues may include, for example, the types of technology that are available to determine and mitigate the risk.
Societal issues may include, for example, socioeconomic impacts and disparities, geographic occurrence, and others.
Recommend a specific mitigation strategy for the natural environmental risk based on your comparison of at least two specific mitigation programs, policies, or strategies you discover through research. | eng | 9d199823-1ede-4e51-8887-1d56ef5d78be | https://www.customessaypapers.org/risk-management-44012/ |
Consistency That Pays : A Freewrite
It can be frustrating and disheartening when you put effort into creating and posting content, but don't receive any votes or recognition for it. It's natural to compare ourselves to others and wonder why our work isn't being received in the same way. However, it's important to remember that receiving votes or recognition is not the only measure of success or the value of your work.
There could be many reasons why your friend has received votes on their posts while you have not. They might have a larger following or their content might be more in line with the interests of the community. It's also possible that they have simply been luckier in terms of the timing of their posts or the way that they have presented their content.
Instead of getting discouraged, try to focus on the things that you can control. Consider the quality and relevance of your content, and think about ways that you can improve or make it more engaging. It can also be helpful to seek feedback from others and learn from their experiences.
Remember, receiving votes or recognition is not the only way to measure the success of your work. Keep creating and sharing content that you are proud of and that is meaningful to you, and don't let a lack of votes discourage you. Keep pushing and don't give up on your goals. | eng | 788998ea-756e-4a60-b428-c376ba4cf24e | https://www.lassecash.com/@oluwadebby/consistency-that-pays-a-freewrite |
What does it say when you win the game and people still can't bear the idea of you trotting onto the field?
That's where Bucs Land is with kicker Roberto Aguayo, the when-time-ran-out star in Monday's 17-14 season-saving (for now) victory at Carolina.
Has anybody ever got less mileage out of something like that than the generally likable Aguayo?
The poor kid. Five games in and he's the guy Bucs fans watch with fingers crossed and one eye closed. Or both eyes closed.
It's torture.
That's what 4-for-8 on field goals will get you in today's world.
Five games in and Aguayo is torture.
Are we waiting on his next make or his next miss?
There was a telling scene in Carolina as Aguayo lined up with seconds left. Three of his teammates, Jameis Winston, Gerald McCoy and Clinton McDonald, huddled on the sideline. ESPN cameras caught the scene. They appeared to be praying.
Touching.
Five games in and people are praying for wins. For Roberto Aguayo to make it.
Torture.
I don't think Bucs coach Dirk Koetter trusts the kid any more than he did before Aguayo won the game, judging by Koetter's postgame comments.
He's a first-year coach working for knee-jerk owners in a league built on close games, games often won by a handful of points, sometimes by one kick.
Think Koetter is going to wait on him?
Think Aguayo doesn't know the deal?
What if Aguayo had missed that as time ran out Monday? Think there wouldn't have been a line of kickers outside Bucs headquarters Tuesday? The team would have needed to think about looking everywhere, including dance studios, to find a right leg.
This isn't going away until it goes away.
Leave it to the Bucs. Can you name me another team in the NFL where the general manager's fate might rest on a kicker?
Of course, this is all about where Aguayo was chosen in the draft (too high). Mind you, Aguayo was the most accurate kicker in NCAA history while at Florida State. But there weren't many close games for Aguayo at FSU. Blowouts everywhere. The NFL is different.
You're telling me that's not inside Aguayo's head?
Meanwhile, this is torture for Bucs fans.
Sports history is filled with torture. Aguayo has a long way to go to be Scott Norwood, who haunts the Bills, or reliever Mitch Williams, who haunts the Phillies, or Bill Buckner, who once haunted the Red Sox. Those were on big stages. This is nothing compared to that.
Still, every team and its fans have someone who tortures them. Sometimes it's an outsider, say Bucky Dent for Boston fans. Or, in a small, weird way, someone like Buster Posey, the one who got away from the still catcher-less Rays.
The Chicago Cubs, in open pursuit of 1908, pulled off an amazing ninth-inning comeback Tuesday to win the NLDS over Posey's Giants. Think they don't have 108 years of torturers? The billy goat? Steve Bartman? Steve GarveyTry Vinny Testaverde. Try Bucs quarterbacks in general. Try Doug Williams, Steve Young and Trent Dilfer, who won Super Bowls after they left Tampa Bay. Or try Bo Jackson, whom the Bucs drafted No. 1 overall in 1986 but who refused to play a down here.

I'll spend 20 minutes with each team and ask team members to reflect on the following questions:
What was your favourite session and why?
What is the biggest lesson you've learned thus far?
What has been the biggest challenge you've had so far?
You'll also have a homework activity to complete. Our final activity asks you to reflect on and articulate your learning experience around DEI, UDL, or student-centered learning in Phase 1. Please find a picture that helps you articulate your learning experience so far and post the picture to this forum thread. Be sure to add a title and a brief description that tells us why you chose that image. Below are some image repositories that are a good starting point:
Collaboration has been a large part of my learning experience in Phase 1. I chose a photo of people putting puzzle pieces together because I think it shows the collaboration it took to create our resource. The Finite Math book was pieced together like a puzzle because it came from different resources. It took the collaboration of the whole team to make the book come together as a Finite Math resource, rather than a series of chapters written by different authors. Student-centered learning is the ultimate goal of the resource, and I feel the puzzle is close to being complete!
So I like the title of this fractal in addition to the image - 1st attempt. I'm familiar with all the ideas of DEI, UDL, and student-centered classrooms, but the first time I've tried to execute them beyond my classroom. There's been a lot of repetitive editing, and some spaces not filled in, but the final thing is coming together. | eng | a2b6ad5c-31e2-4bda-ada7-51c9fcdd50b9 | https://forum.rebus.community/t/session-12-1-1-with-facilitator/8738 |
Using fear tactics degrades students
"If you don't do well on this test you won't pass the class", "Your college professors will not be as lenient as I am", "This test is crucial, if you don't do well, you will not pass the class". Teachers say these each day with the intention that it will make the students work harder.
By definition a scare tactic is a strategy using fear to influence the public's reaction. Schools use the fear of failure as well as other scare tactics to motivate students to complete their extensive school work.
The fear of failure is one of the leading problems in students today and has yet to show a valid reason for schools to continue using it. Teachers are the people who are supposed to encourage students to learn, not scare them to the point of anxiety or mental breakdowns.
According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA) anxiety disorders affect 25.1% of children between 13 and 18 years old and with the age of high schools ranging from 14 to 18, high school students are at a risk for anxiety, most often caused by the fear of failing imposed by educators.
Rather than using scare tactics to motivate students to finish their assignments, study and pass tests. Educators should use tactics that engage and excite students to want to learn and do well in in their classes. Stopping the use of scare tactics leads to the reduction of students feeling terrified before entering the classroom. | eng | a3c0468b-e297-4f15-9a3e-eac6267339ea | https://fentoninprint.com/13283/opinion/using-fear-tactics-degrades-students/ |

Become a Ringleader: Teaching with Text Messaging
When I started experimenting with text messaging, I would text this student or that student, usually one or two at a time. Once I got all my seniors' numbers, though, I decided to try a broadcast. During my class, second period, I talked with the seniors about a variety of topics, so I thought I would follow up on one topic in a text message to all of them.
During third period, I thought of some points I wanted to make, so I gave them a blast. It turns out that the coordinator of our academy has all the seniors during third period. Around the midpoint of her class, every student's cell phone went off, almost simultaneously! She cried out, "The ringing! The ringing!"
After she climbed down from the ceiling, she called my classroom and gave me a dressing down. By the end of the period, though, when she came over to my classroom, she had been thinking about the potential of being able to contact every student at once. To her credit, instead of chewing me out, she walked in with lots of questions about how it worked.
Now, I regularly "ping" our students with updates on schedules, assignment reminders, even wake-up calls, and they answer with questions of their own. They even send me messages regularly to let me know what they are up to. My phone vibrates, though, so I never get "the ringing!" | eng | 5de68b70-f95d-4792-8855-0d19cfdc383d | https://www.edutopia.org/ringing/ |
Urban Legends: Final Cut
A film school is the center of a fresh spate of killings based on urban legends.A film school is the center of a fresh spate of killings based on urban legends.A film school is the center of a fresh spate of killings based on urban legends.
When Reese drives Amy to the library, she mentions the story of a serial killer killing 8 students (in reference to the first movie). Not only was the body count listed incorrectly, in that film, only 6 students were actually murdered. Michelle, Damon, Tosh, Parker, Sasha, and an extra in the radio station. The other 4 deaths were Principal Wexler, the Dean, the Janitor, and supposedly Brenda who we find out at the end actually survived. 9 total deaths.
I'm just a sucker for a slasher! No matter how bad they are I usually enjoy them all even "Halloween: Resurrection" was quite entertaining in my book, although not needed one bit! "Urban Legends" was another slasher I enjoyed and although I know it's nothing special, it's certainly no "Scream", "Urban Legends: Final Cut" tries to enter the "Scream" franchise but just simply doesn't have the same balls "Scream" has.
Nevertheless it was entertaining and thoroughly enjoyable! It starts out a little bit like Wes Craven's "New Nightmare" being set on a film set, (also like "Scream 3"). If you have seen "Urban Legends" then you basically have seen "Urban Legends: Final Cut" because it's more of the same stalk and slash, only this time not all the kills are off-screen! (That really annoyed me in the first one!) It follows the same formula on the set of a top film college. Everyones trying to win the "Hitcock prize" by making low-budget crap and a Kirsten Dunst look-a-like (the real one was too expensive) is going to make a film about a killer basing his murders on urban legends (de ja vu!) Only the film comes to life and someone is killing off her crew.
That's the basic plot, it's simple and everyone can follow it. This is the type of film girls would watch after "Twilight" on a sleepover thinking its a really adult, extreme horror film after being mildly scared by "Twilight". That means that for the rest of us, the scares are minimal and the action is just enjoyable instead of heart-stopping! However, what I did like was the way it used humour.
It was really funny in some places and the black security guard was a hoot baby! So you can't say that this film wasn't fun. What was also fantastic was the ending! I thought I was being very clever in sussing out who the killer was but it took me completely by surprise! "Urban Legends: Final Cut" is a wannabee "Scream" for a more miniature audience (i.e. 12+) it tries to be clever and sometimes it is but it is fun throughout and never dull. Just don't expect an out-of-this-world slasher because you simply aren't going to get it. If you're not expecting much then give it a try. I really enjoyed it. | eng | 002cb98b-bcee-4d3a-9856-3b2bc821aa39 | https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0192731/ |
Innovation + tradition: Art of 3D printed ceramics
Nowadays, 3D printing has made its way to every aspect of production. Morten shows the next step in this technological evolution – using this ground-breaking machine in ceramics design. He has decided to interfere with the print, while it was being created. And if you're not familiar with this technology – don't worry, the speaker will shortly explain how it works, as well as its pros and cons.
Why does 3D printed handicraft matter? Because it changes the very nature of 3D printing. Thanks to Morten, and other creative engineers like him, 3D printing is slowly transcending its role of a replicating robot, and becomes a tool that can be actively used in new designs. However, as you'll learn, even this innovative solution has its limits.
As a final word, Morten encourages us to use specialised machines in the creative process. And to not to be limited or blinded by intended purposes, but to breathe your artistic soul into machine's cogs. Student Talks is a non-profit organization devoted to sharing ideas of the most inspiring students among us. We host events and carefully choose each student speaker based on both the content and quality of the talk, as well as the student's public speaking abilities. | eng | 3d8969fa-a3b7-405e-a1bf-c31c3e3b5fb2 | https://vormvrij.nl/3dclayprinting/?p=430 |
When is a Loan Not a Loan?
About 2,000 years ago, a young rabbi walked around the fertile Galilee in the north of Israel, offering his takes on morality and human life. He reportedly had some odd thoughts about personal finances: "If you lend to people from whom you expect to receive, is that any kindness/grace (Greek χάρις; charis) of yours? ...But do what is morally right, and lend without expectation of return" (Lk 6:34-35). Not exactly "sound financial advice"! And why would it be "morally right" (Greek ἀγαθός; agathos) – as opposed to just foolish – to lend money and not expect it to be paid back? So, when is a Loan Not a Loan?
Like most sayings of first-century Jewish teachers, these mad-sounding ideas can be traced back directly to the ancient Hebrew Torah.The arrangements described there were markedly different from today's economic system. The main feature of the global financial system today is "credit" (i.e., debt). At the moment, for example, the United States government owes about 22 trillion dollars. Private citizens and businesses in the U.S. owe another 30 trillion or so. The government of Japan owes around 10 trillion dollars. Public and private debt in China is estimated – some say underestimated – at 34 trillion dollars. All this debt creates vast economic activity, huge profits for some lenders, and also massive dangers.
By contrast, the ancient Torah prescribed a locally oriented system that could never be based on cycles of debt.For a start, it was forbidden to charge a citizen interest (Exod 22:24/25; Lev 25:35-38; Deut 23:19-20/20-21). Moreover, every seven years all debts of citizens had to be cancelled (Deut 15:1-3)! This meant that lending money would usually bring financial loss, not profit. But what if someone truly needed to borrow money due to difficult circumstances? The Torah's solution did not involve banks or other corporations. Rather, it relied on the willing assistance of individuals, given freely and directly to their "brothers." Members of Israel were expected to "open their hands" and loan as much as genuinely needed to people in their own local communities who had fallen on hard times -- even if it was right before the date when all debts would be cancelled (Deut 15:7-9).
A "loan" in this sense was very much like a gift, with no expectation of return. Creditors received no interest and might easily lose the entire principal as well. Yet to refuse to give such a "loan" was called "sin" (Hebrew חטא; chet'); even to be unhappy about "lending" in this way was regarded as "base" (Hebrew בליעל; beliya'al, literally "destructive of benefit"). The Galilean rabbi was obviously reminding his listeners of this commandment. His statement continued by mentioning favor from God for those who gladly helped their fellows in this way (Lk 6:35) – in precise parallel with the text of Torah, which had specified divine blessing as the reward (Deut 15:10 | eng | d1cc3158-a370-46b5-ae97-cf1bdc6cb8d2 | https://weekly.israelbiblecenter.com/loan-not-loan |

Purpose of Cryptocurrency Futures Trading
Cryptocurrency futures are contracts between two parties that buy and sell a certain amount of underlying cryptocurrency at a certain future price on a specific date and time. You can be exposed to a wide range of cryptocurrencies without owning them. Individuals and organizations that own cryptocurrencies can use futures to hedge their exposure to market movements. As the cryptocurrency market continues to grow, various products that can be used within the cryptocurrency space are also growing.
Types of Cryptocurrency Derivatives
Cryptocurrency Futures Encryption options an indefinite contract If you're new to futures trading, sign up now and get a trading bonus!
Cryptocurrency Futures
Futures include contracts between buyers and sellers that decide to sell assets in the future. Specific dates and amounts are also discussed in advance. Contract details may vary, but terms are generally similar.
Gifts are a popular type of cryptographic derivative commonly used by institutional customers. Data from futures are typically used to predict future price movements and market sentiment.
Users may gain or lose profits depending on future price changes. For example, if the current price of Bitcoin is $40,000, users can buy or sell futures contracts in anticipation of a price drop or rise.
In any case, if a buyer purchases a futures contract worth 1 Bitcoin ($40,000), and the futures contract increases to $60,000 by the end of the contract, the buyer will realize a profit of $20,000. Conversely, if the price falls to $30,000 at the end of the contract, the buyer will lose $10,000.
More specifically, Bitcoin futures are contracts between buyers and sellers who decide to buy and sell Bitcoin at a given price on a specific date in the future. Contracts are usually settled in USD or other currency agreed by both parties.
Encryption options
Options are another type of derivative agreement that allows users to buy or sell certain goods at a fixed price on a future date. Unlike futures, however, options provide an opportunity for buyers not to buy assets if they want to.
There are many different types of options, including call and put options, U.S. and European options. The call option allows users to purchase assets on a specified date, and the put option allows users to sell assets on a specified date. In addition, U.S. options can be sold before the expiration date of the contract, while European options must be sold at exactly the agreed date.
The user must pay a fee to purchase the contract. For example, if the option price is $800, the user will have to pay for it in addition to the actual price of the asset they want to purchase.
Regardless of the outcome of the transaction, the user must pay a fee of $800. So it's worth noting that options are not a completely risk-free way to trade cryptocurrency derivatives.
Let's look at the following example. Let's say you entered a call option for Bitcoin for $50,000. However, the price dropped to $40,000 on the agreed date. You don't have to take a $10,000 loss from the option. You may exercise your right not to perform the contract.
However, the $800 fee paid to purchase the contract will not be refunded. In this case, the total loss is $800.
Indefinite contract
Permanent contracts, also known as permanent futures contracts or permanent swaps, are the most common types of cryptographic derivatives, especially among daily users. In traditional finance, an indefinite contract is a difference contract (CFD).
The main difference between indefinite contracts and futures and options is that indefinite contracts do not have expiration dates. Paying a holding fee called the funding ratio allows users to maintain as many positions as they want. The account must also include a minimum amount called margin.
Underlying assets typically change in price, which generally means that there is a large difference between the index price and the indefinite futures contract price. For example, if the price of an indefinite contract is higher than the index, those who choose "Long" typically pay a funding rate to cover the price difference.
Similarly, those who choose to "sell" will pay a fund rate to cover the price difference if the indefinite futures contract price is below the index price.
Crypto derivatives trading is a great option for both novice crypto users and experienced users. Depending on the level of risk you feel safe about, you can choose from a variety of options.

Economists study and
predict trends and changes in financial, labour and trade markets. They
study economic factors, such as taxation levels, wage rates, employment
figures and exchange rates, and use their findings to prepare forecasts
and provide advice to businesses and governments on possible courses of
action. Economists may study the broad global economic situation,
providing advice to governments and multinational corporations, or they
may examine the economy of a single, small firm to provide advice on how
to maximise profits and determine the level of demand for a product or
service.
Economists perform economic
research and analysis, and develop and apply theories relating to the
production and distribution of goods and services and people's spending
behaviour.
Economists advise and provide forecasts to governments and businesses on
matters such as taxation levels, wages and prices, employment and
unemployment, imports and exports, and interest and exchange rates.
They investigate international or national economic situations, or
particular features such as industries or regions.

Did You
Know?
Professor Leslie Melville was the Central Bank's first
Economist.
In 1930, when officials from the Bank of
England came to Australia to assist Australian governments with
their budgetary problems, they found that the original
Commonwealth Bank, then Australia's central bank, did not have
an economist on its staff. They urged the Bank's Governor to
appoint a qualified economist and recommended Leslie Melville,
Professor of Economics at the University of Adelaide. Melville
joined the Bank in March 1931 [age 29].
Some two decades later, when he left to become Vice-Chancellor
at the Australian National University, Dr HC Coombs wrote to him
saying that he had 'made a contribution to the theory and
practice of central banking with is without equal in the world'.
As an aside... in his matriculation year he
topped the state [NSW] in mathematics.
Economists work in office environments in
businesses, government departments and universities. They usually
work regular office hours, however when working to a strict
deadline, e.g. when annual reports are due, overtime may be
necessary. Economists often conduct research and write reports
independently, however, in larger organisations they may work as
part of a team - each member may specialise in a particular field.
Travel may be required.
Tools and
technologies
Economists use computers to conduct research
and prepare reports. They must ensure that they keep their knowledge
of economic issues current, such as interest rates and import and
export figures, which requires them to read regular reports from
government departments and other economists. To examine economic
trends, they must also be able to use historical data, so that they
can map changes over time and make predictions about future
movement.
Education and training/entrance requirements
To become an economist you usually have to complete a degree
in economics at university. To get into these courses you usually
need to gain your HSC/ACT Year 12. Prerequisite subjects, or assumed
knowledge, in one or more of English and mathematics are normally
required. Most universities in Australia offer degrees in economics.
Postgraduate qualifications may improve your employment prospects.
Employment Opportunities
Economists are employed by federal, state or
territory government departments; employer organisations and trade
unions; financial institutions (for example, banks and insurance
companies); other commercial organisations; and private consulting
firms.
Employment of economists is projected to grow
about as fast as the average for all occupations.
Businesses and organisations across many industries are increasingly
relying on economic analysis and quantitative methods to analyse and
forecast business, sales, and other economic trends.
Demand for economists should grow as a result of the increasing
complexity of the global economy, additional financial regulations, and
a more competitive business environment. As a result, there will be
strong demand for economists in private industry, especially in
management, scientific, and professional consulting services.
Competition for available positions is strong and postgraduate study is
recommended to improve employment prospects.
Graduates often find work in administration, management and marketing.
The demand for economists depends on the level of government and private
research and analysis, as well as economic activity levels.

Agricultural and resource economists study and
apply economic principles to the use and management of resources in the

Duties and Tasks
Agricultural and resource
economists may perform the following tasks:
undertake research into factors that affect
farm costs and market returns, such as the availability of farm
credit, the way farms are established and operated, the potential
cash return from crop sales and the distribution of farms in a
particular region
explore ways of raising the incomes and
efficiency of primary producers
apply models of economic behaviour to areas
such as crop or livestock pricing, and disease outbreaks
assess the past and/or potential future
impacts of policy changes (proposed or actual) on the farm sector
and the wider economy
advise on the appropriate management of
natural resources

government and industry on economic issues and/or policies affecting
the supply, demand and price of agricultural produce and resources
prepare technical reports and statistical
charts
in a bank, provide financial analysis in
relation to credit, loans or investments in a variety of
agribusiness sectors
Working conditions
Agribusiness analysts
typically work full time and have standard work schedules.Agribusiness analysts usually work in offices, and may also be
required to work in the field on occasions. They usually work in a team
with other agribusiness specialists.
Agribusiness analysts might work in corporate farming enterprises;
banks, pastoral houses or primary producer organisations; or in roles in
international agencies and government departments.

Education and training/entrance requirements
To become an agribusiness
analyst you usually have to complete a bachelor's degree in
agribusiness, agriculture & resource economics, or business/economics
with a major in agribusiness. To get into these courses you usually need
to gain your senior secondary school certificate or equivalent. English,
biology, chemistry, mathematics and physics would be appropriate
subjects to study prior to university.
To become an agricultural
and resource economist you usually have to study agricultural science,
agricultural economics, agribusiness, resource economics or a related
degree at university. To get into these courses you usually need to gain
your HSC/ACT Year 12. Prerequisite subjects, or assumed knowledge, in
one or more of English, mathematics and chemistry are normally required.
A number of universities in Australia offer degrees in these areas.
Universities have different prerequisites and some have flexible entry
requirements or offer external study.
Employment Opportunities
Employment of agribusiness
analysts is projected to grow about as fast as the average for all
occupations.
Job growth in the agricultural and agribusiness sectors generally is
expected to be driven by the demand for better production and yields,
stronger risk management understanding, new food products and food
security.
Agribusiness analysts will be well positioned to work in a broad range
of companies looking to assist agribusiness practitioners to improve
efficiencies in production and business management.
The Australian Bureau of
Agricultural and Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) in Canberra is
the largest employer of agricultural and resource economists in
Australia. Public sector demand mainly arises from the need to replace
staff that leave the occupation. There is also a demand for agricultural
and resource economists in the private sector, particularly in
agribusiness, banking and consulting. As many positions are part time or
seasonal, agricultural and resource economists often work as consultants
in a related field. Job opportunities arise from new technologies and
farming practices, as well as the development of new products. | eng | 96347dff-c77b-42f9-b54b-250b7d7be2c7 | https://onthejob.education/banking_finance_insurance/economist.htm |
The first stage is the calcination of the bauxite at 1200°C with sodium carbonate and coke. The alumina is converted in sodium aluminate. Iron oxide remains unchanged and silica forms a polysilicate.
In the second stage sodium hydroxide solution is added, which dissolves the sodium aluminate, leaving the impurities as a solid residue. The amount of sodium hydroxide solution needed depends upon the amount of silica present in the raw material. The solution is filtered off; carbon dioxide is bubbled through the solution, causing aluminium hydroxide to precipitate, leaving a solution of sodium carbonate. The latter can be recovered and reused in the first stage.
The aluminium hydroxide is calcined to produce alumina.
The process was used in France at Saindres until 1923 and in Germany and Great Britain until the outbreak of the Second World War [1]. | eng | e4237978-e7a8-4128-b79b-361a498cb021 | https://www.chemeurope.com/en/encyclopedia/Deville_process.html |

What is the Legal Drinking Age in Germany? (you might be surprised!) little fact while we were there!)
Fast forward less than 10 years and I was now living in Germany myself. I'll never forget watching a group of teenagers walk out of school for lunch, go to the Döner shop, and then sit out in the park with their Kebab and beer! I thought they surely were skipping school and being hoodlum teens! I came to find out that school is typically only half days in Germany and that you can buy beer legally at 16! Apparently, they weren't being delinquents at all!! The drinking age in Germany is just way lower than I ever knew!
So, in this article, I'll answer the main questions regarding the topic, such as "What is the Drinking age in Germany?" "What is the drinking age for tourists in Germany" "WHY do Germans start drinking so young"…..and more.
And before anyone @s me, EVERY single one of the photos in this article of my kids is APFELSCHORLE (not beer!)….Well, minus this next one (but I promise he was just looking at it longingly and not actually drinking!)
I call this masterpiece, "The evolution of longing for a beer in Germany"
Germany Drinking Age (quick answer)
The approach for the legal drinking age in Germany is somewhat of a tiered process…and the legal ages may surprise you!
Under 14 Years Old: Individuals under 14 MAY consume beer and wine at home and only with the direct supervision of their guardians.
14 Years Old: May drink in the presence and approval of their parents, including at public places such as restaurants, Biergartens, pubs, etc.
16 Years Old: Individuals may purchase and consume Beer and Wine on their own
18 Years Old: May purchase and consume liquors and spirits
(More details below)
When most people think, "Germany," the next word that often comes to mind is, "Beer!" (or maybe Lederhosen!) Since 1040 there has been beer officially brewing across Germany and that long standing tradition lives on strong today, but even well before that, most beers being made were the (now famous in Bamberg) Rauchbier. Germans are very proud of their beer heritage and take it quite seriously. As the country evolved and changed over the last several hundred years, the drinking laws have changed as well. It's been somewhat of a yo-yo act, actually. In fact, like the US, the legal age to drink in Germany used to be 21. It has actually gone between 21 and 18 a few times!
Today, the drinking laws in Germany that state the legal age are set by the "Youth Protections Act" (Jugendschutzgesetz (JuSchG) )
Current Legal Drinking Age in Germany
No. This is not a beer. It is an Apfelschorle. Ok…mine is absolutely a beer though!
Alright, so I highlighted the drinking ages in Germany, but let's look into the details of it all, especially if you were a bit shocked at some of the younger ages!
Under 14
The legal age for the first tier of drinking technically starts at 14 and underage drinking is not condoned in Germany. That being said, alcohol is not as taboo in Europe and because of the strong "Beer Culture" in Germany (more on this below), it's not completely uncommon for parents to allow/ supervise their younger children with alcohol. This is not the "norm" at all and if this is done at all, it may be a sip of their beer type of thing at home. That being said, parents are also held to high legal standards for protecting their children. Therefore, they can be held legally responsible if it it is discovered that a parent has been negligent with alcohol and their children.
14 Years Old
Adolescents as young as 14 years old are permitted to have beer and wine as long as they are in the presence of their legal custodians. This means that if a parent has decided that it is acceptable for their own child to have a beer or wine, then that is allowable. This is even the case in public settings such as at restaurants and Biergartens. As long as the parents are there to supervise, youth as young as 14 years old may have a beer while eating out, at home, etc.
But do you really see 14-year-olds drinking beer and wine in restaurants with their parents in Germany?
Just because it is ALLOWED doesn't mean that that is going to be the norm. It's not like everytime I go to a restaurant I see a 14 year old drinking a beer with Ma and Pa, but if I DID see it, it's not like I'd be shocked, surprised, or appaled by it. I have several friends who have young teenagers and they are happy to let their kids begin drinking in the comfort and safety of the presence of THEM, their parents instead of sneaking around.
16 Years Old
Starting as young as 16 years old, Germans (and tourists) are allowed to purchase beer and wine for themselves. They may go into any store or Getränkemarkt (separate stores for all drinks) and buy themselves a beer to enjoy. They can also order a beer or wine while out at a restaurant on their own, without parental consent. This even means that they can even order a giant beer Maß at Oktoberfest if they want!
However, anything that is non fermented, such as hard liquor, is still illegal to both purchase as well as consume under the age of 16 in Germany.
18 Years Old
It is only when an individual turns 18 in Germany that they can then legally drink distilled spirits and hard liquor in addition to beer and wine. This includes drinks like vodka, whiskey, and even the classic German schnapps, Jägermeister. However, there are still very strict rules and laws about people over 18 buying liquor for other minors.
Fun Fact: In Germany, you don't even get your driver's license until you are 18. That means you can actually legally drink before you can even legally drive a car! (obviously not at the same time!) – But more on drinking and driving below
What Is the Drinking Age in Germany for Tourists?
So GERMANS can start drinking beer at 16 years old, but what is the drinking age in Germany for tourists and foreigners? Well, just like with any other laws in Germany, as long as you are in the country, you are subject to the local laws (no matter where you are from). Therefore, can 16 year old tourists buy beer in Germany? Absolutely. Even a 14 year old (no matter what country they are from!) can have a beer or wine with their parents while out to dinner. Granted, if you are a teenager and are expecting to purchase beer or hard alcohol, you'll still need your ID (your passport will do) since selling alcohol to minors has major legal ramifications and huge (upwards of 50,000 Euro!) fines!
But I'm sure it all goes without saying that just because one CAN drink beer at 14, 15, and 16 years old in Germany doesn't exactly mean that they SHOULD. As a parent, you know your child best. And obviously, even if your teens are going to go off drinking, it's extremely important to go over being respectful of the culture.
Selling Alcohol To Intoxicated Individuals
And while a 16 year old may be able to go out and get wasted legally, the drinking laws in Germany strictly forbid the sale of more alcohol to anyone (no matter their age!) who is clearly intoxicated. This means that even though many people argue that 16 is too young for alcohol consumption, the idea is that it doesn't get (too) out of hand (easily).
So, Why CAN You Drink So Young in Germany?
Again- NOT a beer. I repeat. NOT a beer.
In order to really understand the young legal age for drinking in Germany, you have to start to understand the CULTURE of Germany. (And not just it's "Beer Culture" but that is a part of it!) It actually goes way beyond the laws of drinking ages and is more at the heart about some general German philosophies of the ways of life. Even in the first grade, my son's Grundschule teacher already stresses (like reeaaaallly stresses) the importance of learning and taking responsibility for your own self (or in his case, his own school supplies) but it's obvious that even from the age of 6, the concept of "responsibility" is already being deeply instilled for all facets of life. Responsibility, both individual and communal, is a virtue that Germans do not take lightly.
The Engrained Beer Culture in Germany
While Germans may not have invented beer, they sure have done a great job of perfecting and mass-producing it! Like most medieval civilizations beer production had many reasons, one being "health."After all, with unsanitary water resources, drinking alcohol actually proved to be safer than water. This is exactly why for hundreds of years in Germany, it wasn't uncommon for even a young child to have a (not very strong) beer. But this was true for many European countries. So why did Germany take the lead (and the stereotype) for beer and how did it become so engrained in the daily life and culture compared to other countries?
Those Clever Monks
Upwards of around 1000 years ago, there was already documentation of beer being made in Germany. One thing that started to set the country apart from others though was its beer production with Monastic brewing, which began over 800 years ago. With the monks' belief in scientific methods, plenty of time on their hands (and quite possibly their strong desire to find that perfect "Liquid Bread" loophole that didn't break their required Lenten fasts!) the quality of beer in Germany began to sky rocket.
Bavarians Enacted the "Beer Purity Law"
As beer began to really take a strong hold across Germany, Bavaria (its own sovereign state at the time) already saw the importance of producing only the best quality of beer possible. There were already strict rules and laws on how beer could be produced in Bavaria and in 1516, the official Reinheitsgebot (Beer Purity Law) was enacted for the entirety of Bavaria. This law eventually became the law of the land throughout all of Germany.
So what is the Beer Purity law? It states that you may ONLY have three ingredients in beer:
Water
Hops
Malt
(Due to semantics, yeast was later added as an acceptable ingredient)
Still to this day, over 500 years later, the Reinheitsgebot is highly respected, revered, and honored in Germany (and is still the beer law in Bavaria!) While craft brewing is becoming more popular in Germany today, the long standing techniques of making traditional German beer is something that most Germans (and German breweries!) are extremely proud of.
Bavaria Changed The Entire Beer Game As the World Knew It!
Fun fact: Most beers before the 1830s were dark, smoked beer (Rauchbier). The history of this is a bit complex, so I'll give you the cliffnotes version:
Basically, malt is required to be soaked in order to actually use it for consumption. What gets wet, must get dried. Therefore, for THOUSANDS of years, people who made beer typically would dry it over some sort of flame/ fire. While the level of smokiness could and did vary, it almost always resulted in some hint or level of a dark, smokey beer.
That is until the Brits took off with the Industrial Revolution and made the "English Kiln" (aka a way to roast malt without needing an open flame).
Long story short: The son of the famous Munich Brewery owner of "Spaten" did a bit of (what some would dramatically call) "Espionage" on some British brewers, came back, made some adaptations, and played with some recipes.
And VOILA!!! The first, Märzen (what we all know as "Oktoberfest Beer") and one of the first modern day Lagers was created! This was a vastly different beer than what the world was used to. The Spaten brewery was so ahead of their time that they basically got the world on board with this "new" Lager style beer. Germany was officially the leader in beer creation and beer production!!!
(And Another Fun Fact: It was this same Spaten brewer who essentially designed the first modern fridge! Just think, if it wasn't for German beer, we may not have refrigerators!)
Because of this explosion of lager-style beers, Germany became seen as the Go-To country for beer and that is still highly the case, even today.
Traditions Continue Today
One thing that I really love about living in Germany (Bavaria in particular) is the desire to respect traditions. It may seem weird to have "Beer" be a cultural tradition, but it clearly is! And that "Beer Culture" definitely lives on strong today. Biergartens are social gathering places to meet with friends and relax, a monthly Stammtisch is literally an organization that gets together at a Bierhall for their meetings, shoot there is even "Feirabendbier" which is the "beer at the end of the workday"…..which they enjoy at work!
Beer is the Same Cost as Water at Restaurants!
With the long-standing traditions and beer culture in Germany, it's no surprise that "Beer" would be the go-to drink of choice for the majority of patrons at restaurants. However, in the early 2000s, a new law in the Gaststättengesetz §6, jokingly referred to as the "Apple Juice Paragraph"by locals, states that restaurants, "Must offer at least one non-alcoholic drink that is no more expensive than the cheapest alcoholic drink on the menu." Since Germans don't really do tap water at restaurants, that means that you will almost always pay for a bottle of water when eating out (no, there is typically no "free table water"- and Yes, German water IS safe to drink!) Most establishments have conveniently made this price juuuuuust slightly cheaper than the "cheapest alcoholic drink" (Aka Bier!) Therefore, if you are eating out at a restaurant in Germany, you can expect to pay about €3.50-4 for both a glass of water as well as comparatively to a beer!
Unfortunately for me, if I'm given the choice to pay 4 Euro and I get boring water or alternatively having to spend the exact same €4 and can get a beer, well….I'm going to choose the beer!!! (As do most people….therefore basically re-enforcing the beer culture!)
Drinking in Public
While this could technically be under the "beer culture in Germany" conversation, it also kind of deserves its own section because it's another one of those drinking laws in Germany that many foreigners are surprised at. Drinking in public is absolutely legal and completely acceptable! In fact, the last time I went back to the States, my family had a picnic in a public park and when my husband pulled out a beer, everyone was like, "What are you doing!? You can't drink that here!!!" From living in Germany, we had just become so accustomed to the idea that drinking in moderation and in public was just a normal thing to do!
In fact, when my husband and I are lacking creativity for date nights, we'll grab a bottle of wine, some delicious cheeses, and just sit on a public bench by the Danube River and it's totally normal to have a glass of wine as we watch the sun set! Or, I'd be lying if I said we don't often grab a beer (and pretzel!) at the train station before hopping on a train to Munich or other journeys. Again, sipping on a bottle of beer on the train is completely normal, acceptable, and legal (assuming you aren't being obnoxious!) Or, there's always that group of friends walking in the Altstadt, dressed up in their Trachten (Lederhosen and Dirndls) on their way to the annual Volksfest already enjoying a bottle of beer on their way as they wander the streets.
TL;DR: Open container laws and drinking in public is 100% acceptable, legal, and the norm if you are being respectful and aren't a nuisance.
Public Views on the Younger Drinking Age for Germany/ Local Expectations
I bring all of this up because without understanding both the actual history of beer in Germany and therefore how that has influenced the actual culture of beer, it's sometimes hard to fully understand the young German drinking age that is allowed. While it is true that some people want to raise the legal age to drink in Germany to be 18 for all alcohol, most Germans look at drinking as a personal responsibility to know your limits (and this all comes full circle to "cultural beliefs!")
Starting Young vs Encouraging Drinking
For the last time and the people in the back…THIS IS NOT BEER. IT IS APPLEJUICE- but seriously, how cute is he!?
Not to get too deep, but there's that whole "Want what you can't have" thing our brains do. Many people believe that when something is not strictly forbidden (Verboten), it loses its "appeal."
There's also the concept that if something like alcohol is slowly introduced at a young age with the guidance and responsibility of an adult, then it's not some "forbidden fruit" that teenagers clamor to in the secrecy of a friend's basement when their parents are out of town. If a teenager knows they can access beer themselves at a restaurant at 16, there is a belief that they are less likely to try to binge it.
Likewise, by starting with beer and wine, Germans see it more as a gradual approach to alcohol (definitely not saying you can't get drunk from beer or wine, just ask me that the morning after Oktoberfest!). Obviously, 18 year olds still may not make the wisest decisions of their lives at that age, but a common belief in Germany is that if they've already been introduced to less potent alcohol then by the time they are18, there is either less of a desire to binge or that you have learned a few ways to responsibly manage alcohol consumption already.
You Are Responsible For Yourself (and your kids!)
Another thing that I seriously LOVE about Germany is that while there are plenty of lawsuits in Germany, it's not on the same "Sue-Happy" mentality as the USA has. There are SO many times that I see something in Germany and think "Oh My God! This would NEVER be allowed in the US!" (Popular walking paths on mountains with no rails, swimming pools with no lifeguards, kids at 6 years old walking themselves to school…) But in Germany, there is a widely accepted culture of "Do dumb things, earn dumb rewards" So basically, it's a society that actually believes in "Natural Consequences" (Sorry- that's the old Montessori teacher in my speaking!) You ordered that hot coffee and YOU accidentally dropped it? Ouch. That sucks. I'm sorry. End of story. You scaled that prison wall (Yes, this is a true story!) trying to escape, got hurt, and how want to sue the jail? Yeeeeaaaaah…..NO.
So, how does this all relate to beer drinking? YOU are responsible for yourself (and your kids). If YOU are going to allow your 14 year old to have a beer at your backyard BBQ, then you better make sure he is being responsible with it (eating food with it, limiting the amount, not biking, etc). If YOU are going to drink a giant Oktoberfest Maß, then you better know how to handle it, get yourself home safely, etc. If not, then I'm sure the Politzei will be happy to assist in those endeavors!
Being Drunk Is Not Exactly Looked Highly Upon
Sure, this is true pretty much anywhere, right? There's kind of a funny stereotype about Germans being a bit, well….let's just say "judgey" at times. There is this odd cultural phenomenon where Germans kind of like being up in others' businesses. Whether it be the neighbors who love to be a bit nosey as they watch the neighborhood from behind their curtained window or the old Omas who always yell at me for not having the proper stocking cap on my baby in the winter (I'd like to see them try keeping a hat on this kid! I promise, I tried!!!)
And since there was the previously mentioned social norm of "You are responsible for yourself" the idea of public intoxication is highly frowned upon and it's kind of just EXPECTED that you know how to manage your alcohol, know your limits, or in the very least, "keep it together"….no matter how young or old you are!
Now, do not get me wrong. I'm not saying people don't ever get drunk. But it's actually a very rare sight to be seen outside of huge festivals, big events, etc. And that's mostly because growing up, this is just something that is engrained in them from a society that can, at times, be highly judgemental about foolishness, wreckless behavior, and being drunk in public.
Enforcement of the Drinking Age in Germany
While the young German drinking laws may seem lax to many, the legal drinking age in Germany is actually still strictly enforced. It is obviously illegal to provide alcohol to minors below the legal drinking ages. Bars/restaurants, etc can be heavily fined for providing alcohol to minors. And if a minor is found to be intoxicated, the parents can be charged with endangerment of a child.
Drinking and Driving in Germany
Drinking and driving is taken SUPER seriously in Germany (like it should be!) But before getting into the ramifications of being stupid, irresponsible, and selfish driving drunk, a few things to know about driving in Germany (particularly for tourists). I'll do my best to keep it to the topic of young drinking ages since the overall topic of DUIs in Germany should be its own separate, full topic/article.
You Can Not Drive Until 18 Years Old
In Germany, you can't even drive until you are 18 years old. I do find it a bit funny that you are not allowed to drive, but you are allowed to drink a beer at 16! But even then, many 18 year olds wait to get a license. (Many towns/ cities are extremely walkable, have great public transportation, or biking is a very common form of transportation all over Germany). One positive thing about all of this is that if teenagers ARE drinking, they most likely will NOT be on the road!
Car Rentals For 25 & Younger
Another thing to note for tourists, in particular, is that while the legal driving age in Germany is 18, the vast majority of car rental agencies won't even rent out to people who are under 21 years old. In fact, many of them will have exorbitant extra liability fees for anyone under 25 as a way to deter them from wanting to rent a car! Again, all this is to simply say that even though someone may be the legal age to drink in Germany, that at least they are not going to be able to be behind the wheel.
Drinking and Driving Is a Criminal Offense in Germany
Germans take driving extremely seriously. It costs thousands of Euros and months of courses and tests to even have the privilege of obtaining a driver's license. Just like I said before, with certain privileges, come certain responsibilities and Germans 100% believe that if you want to continue to drive, you must be responsible. No ifs, ands, or buts!
Which is why a DUI is actually a criminal offense in Germany and is taken extremely seriously. So what is the drunk driving limit in Germany? At a blood alcohol content level of only 0.5, that is already driving illegally. But just how many beers does it take to even get to BAC 0.5? In Germany, that can be just ONE beer (depending on the beer and the weight of the person!) Sooo yeah….even drinking after "just 1" can land you in a ton of legal troubles and absolutely ruin your entire trip!
And just what exactly happens if you DO get caught drunk driving in Germany? If your BAC is 0.5-1.09 g/l then you'll be facing a hefty fine upwards of 1500 Euro and typically a suspension of your driver's licence. Blood alcohol content of 1.1 g/l or higher is considered a criminal offense and you'll be facing jail time in addition to that large fine as well as your license being taken.
And in Germany, there isn't typically a "slap on the wrist" or even a period of suspension. If you are caught drunk driving, particularly over the BAC 1.1 level, your license can be revoked…..for good. As in, never getting it back!
Sooo yeah. Germans don't take drunk driving lightly!
Tourists Who Get a DUI in Germany Are Subject To The Same Penalties as Germans
Just like how tourists get the same legal age of drinking in Germany (16 for beer) by law, tourists also can face the same legal consequences of drinking and driving in Germany. Germany uses a points system for traffic violations and the more severe your impairment is, the more points you receive. These points absolutely can and will follow you back home.
Most likely, if you got a DUI in Germany, you will receive a sticker on your driver's license after a visit to the Polizei station, which indicates how long it is suspended for, which, yes, typically transfers back to your home country. You'll also receive a letter from the police stating your consequences, fines, and what is expected to do next.
TL; DR: Don't mess up your entire Germany trip by being stupid and drunk driving….even after ONE beer!
Driving, Biking, & Scootering While Drunk Is Also Illegal!
When I say that "Driving Drunk" in Germany is taken extremely seriously, it doesn't stop there. Literally, anything that you DRIVE, you can face legal consequences and steep fines if you have been drinking. In fact, you can even have your DRIVER'S licence revoked for bicycling home drunk! Now-a-days, most larger cities have those little "E-Scooters" and since they are considered a "motorized vehicle" if you thought grabbing one of those back to your hotel after an evening at the Hofbräuhaus was a good idea, then think again. You can actually face the same ramifications for driving an E Scooter drunk as you can for driving a car drunk in Germany.
Let's Recap!
Alright, so to bring it all back full circle and finish up:
14-16 years: Beer and wine permitted with a parent/ legal guardian (including in public places like restaurants)
16 years: May purchase only beer and wine for themselves
18: Hard liquor/ spirits
FAQs Legal Drinking Age-Germany
Why is Germany's drinking age so low?
Partially from the general cultural philosophies of Germans as a whole, partially from the engrained beer culture, most Germans believe that a younger, graduated approach to drinking is more effective at reducing alcohol issues in society.
Is the drinking age 16 in Europe/ What age can you drink in Europe?
For most of Europe, the legal drinking age is 18. There are numerous countries (such as Germany) that do have a more graduated approach and may have younger ages. Therefore, just because it is legal to drink beer with an adult at 15 in Germany doesn't mean it is everywhere, so it's essential that you know the laws for each individual country that you are visiting.
What country is the youngest drinking age?
While you might think that the young of legal drinking in Germany of 14 (with a legal guardian) is young, in the West African country of Burkina Faso, you actually only need to be 13 to PURCHASE (oh, but hey, ONLY for males. 16 for females)
What is the minimum age to drink beer in Germany?
Legally, a youth may drink beer in public, such as at restaurants, Biergartens, etc at 14 years old but only with a legal guardian.
Can you buy alcohol in Germany at 14?
No. While an individual can not PURCHASE alcohol for themselves at 14 years old in Germany, they are still allowed to consume it when in the presence of their legal guaridan/adult.
Is it legal to drink at 16 in Germany?
Yes. The (Jugendschutzgesetz (JuSchG) ) law states that youth who are 16 may purchase and consume beer and wine.
Can 16 year old tourists buy beer in Germany?/ Can a 16 year old foreigner drink in Germany?
Yes. No matter if you are a tourist or a local, the drinking laws in Germany permit 16 year olds to purchase and consume their own beer or wine.
Why is the drinking age 18 in Germany?
While you can actually begin legally purchasing beer and wine at 16 in Germany, liquir and hard spirits are not legal until 18. It is thought that a more graduated approach to alcohol introduction helps with future issues of alcohol (drunk driving incidents, alcoholism, etc).
What is the drinking age in Berlin?
The legal drinking age does not change state to state or city to city in Germany. Whether you are in Berlin, Frankfurt, or are looking for the Munich drinking age, it is all the same across Germany- 16 for beer and wine/ 18 for spirits.
Do you really see 14-year-olds drinking beer and wine in restaurants and bars etc., with their parents in Germany?/ Are German people used to seeing 14-year-olds drinking with adults there?
While it is absolutely legal for a 14 year old to have a beer or wine with their parent at a restaurant, it's not like it is absolutely the norm and something you see everyday | eng | 4fac4c86-7117-40b0-b682-c7efe48180a9 | https://www.wanderingermany.com/what-is-the-legal-drinking-age-in-germany/ |

The COVID generation: How the pandemic has shaped the lives of teens around the world
The full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on young people may not be known for years, but the lives of teens are being affected around the world.
We asked teens from three countries how their lives have changed over the past two years. Here are their stories:
Ariana Hellman, 16 years old, New York City, USA
When the pandemic hit New York in 2020, Ariana Hellman was horrified — not that she had contracted the virus but that her family had discovered her secret. Ariana carefully concealed the eating disorder that had led to her weight dropping to 82 pounds.
She said, "I was looking at TikTok videos where the girls were so skinny. I could see my ribs and I loved it."
Ariana found an outlet for her fears through art. (Provided by Ariana Hellman)
The pandemic brought her siblings home from university. Her father was working from home remotely. Her mother, a physician and scientist, was busy supervising cancer patients at Sloan Kettering Hospital. Ariana, sick with anxiety, knew her secret couldn't last.
Last summer, anxious Ariana kept her eye on two sets of numbers: New York's COVID-19 cases and the numbers on her weight scale.
"When I was forced to recover, I started to recover. I could even feel my fingers getting fatter. I cried a lot."
And there was the added stress of being racist as a Chinese American. Sometimes, when shopping with her mother, they were accused of carrying the virus. She said her mother would yell at the racists, "Stop being a child."
Ariana says this work of art is about letting go of anxiety. (Ariana Hellman)
Ariana has one refuge: her artwork. She creates collages that express her anxiety, fear, loneliness and isolation.
She said, "One of the butterflies that flies out of my mouth… It's about letting go of all my fears but one butterfly remains on my shoulder."
"Even if your fears become your past, they are still a part of you."
Max Fulham, 17, Dublin, Ireland
Max Fulham has stepped up his involvement in climate activism during the pandemic. (Submitted by Max Fulham)
Max Fulham describes himself as an Irishman and a "global citizen". Max has a disability due to a severe visual impairment from birth, he has no peripheral vision and poor eyesight on his right side. This shaped his ideas about how the world should work, Max says.
"If we relax and say, 'I don't care if the world is an unequal place,' you say to people who struggle every day, 'It doesn't matter. I'm more important than you,' he said.
"I don't want to live in this kind of society."
When COVID-19 hit, his family moved from Dublin to their country bed and breakfast in County Wicklow. Max initially says he felt indifferent about the pandemic. He spent hours playing video games on his phone. But then he noticed that the virus infects the elderly.
"I saw the number of people dying in the intensive care unit, and I thought that would be bad for Ireland and bad for the world."
Note that societal divisions develop. He said some people, who protested the restrictions, were socially aggressive. He also observed daily good deeds, like his friend Calim, who was riding his bicycle to the homes of pensioners, and coming down from the groceries.

Before COVID-19, Max got involved in climate activism but the pandemic has given him more time to think. He began to establish relationships.
"My house is regularly flooded," he said.
"People don't associate the living room floods with the climate crisis."
Today, he runs the social media for the Irish chapter of Fridays for Future, the global movement sparked by teenage environmental activist Greta Thunberg. He has helped coordinate climate parties and protests in as many as 40 countries.
When it comes to the environment, he says, "I believe our generation will bend the arc of justice."
Marie Ateno, 15 years old, Kibera, Kenya

While the coronavirus has put a strain on public health systems around the world, it has also affected the economic health of many countries, including Kenya.
Marie Ateno lives in Kibera, also known as one of the largest slums in Africa, just outside the capital, Nairobi. According to the United Nations, Kibera has an area of six square kilometers, and is home to nearly two million people. In Kibera, forget social distancing, masks and hand sanitizer.
"It's hard to keep ourselves safe," Mary said. "We live in overcrowded housing and the slums are full of rubbish. There is dirt everywhere you go."
Mary's father lost his job as a chef in a hotel and the family of seven was bankrupt for eight months. NGOs and charities filled the food void. But there was something Mary was more afraid of than the virus – the threat of rape while visiting the communal toilet.
Kibera, outside Nairobi, Kenya is one of the largest slums or informal settlements in Africa. (Jean-Francois Besson/CBC)
Her family has to share a toilet with up to 30 other people every day. Young girls get up too early to try to get to the front of the line and sometimes a predatory male can lie in wait.
"It's really scary for me," she said.
"We try to go out in groups, there's more protection. If something happens, we might die, get pregnant or have to stop school forever."
With children in countries like Canada moving to online learning, millions of students in other countries have been left without access to things like laptops and the internet at home.
A UK-based NGO called Anno Africa has offered children safe spaces on afternoons and weekends. Arts and dance programs are offered. Marie signed up for ballet lessons, although she thought the dance "sounded strange." But soon I became hooked.
"Actually, I'm kind of good," she said.
"The ballet helped me express my feelings, my anger, my sadness. It helped me improve my confidence. Well my first performance was really great, everyone applauded and I felt like one of the best dancers who ever performed in the world." | eng | 25c2d507-88da-43fd-a8d4-265e945580aa | https://www.fitforhealthy.com/the-covid-generation-how-the-pandemic-has-shaped-the-lives-of-teens-around-the-world/ |
The Elmwood Dental Group LLC
Your West Hartford, CT Dentist
When Should My Child Visit the Dentist? West Hartford, CT
You already know that proper oral care is important for keeping your teeth, and your whole mouth, strong and healthy. Did you know that good oral hygiene is just as important for your child, too? In addition to helping your child brush and floss every day at home, it is also essential that they have regular dental visits for cleanings and exams. However, just when should their first visit be? The Elmwood Dental Group LLC is here to help?
When Should My Child Have Their First Appointment?
Most parents are unsure of when their child should first have their very first dental appointment. According to the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, it is recommended that your child is seen six months after the eruption of their first baby tooth or by the time of their first birthday. Even if your child does not have any teeth by their first birthday, they should still be seen.
What Happens at the First Visit?
The first dental appointment is generally very quick. It is designed for us to get to know your child and for your child to get to know us. We usually start by having you sit in the chair with your child in your lap. This can help your child feel more at ease. We then take a quick look inside their mouth to look over their gums and any teeth that they have. If necessary, we clean the teeth.
After examining their mouth, we then discuss with you. We go over anything that we might have found in their mouth as well as discuss how you can help your child properly brush their teeth. We can provide recommendations on what foods to incorporate into their diet to ensure good oral health. We can also provide recommendations on oral habits such as thumb sucking and pacifier use.
How Often Should My Child Visit the Dentist?
Just like you, your child should have dental visits every six months. The next few visits following the first are generally short, and not unlike their very first appointment. As your child grows older, we begin regular cleanings and exams, and may also provide fluoride treatments as well.
The Importance of Baby Teeth
Many parents wonder why dental care is so important at an early age when their child will just lose their baby teeth. While it is true that your child loses their baby teeth, these teeth still play many important roles in their mouth. The baby teeth help your child to bite and chew different foods and helps them to develop proper speech patterns. The baby teeth also act as a placeholder for the adult teeth. Losing a baby tooth too early can result in significant complications. Without a way to hold the space, their other teeth may shift out of alignment, leading to the improper eruption of the adult teeth. Additionally, infections in baby teeth can lead to infections in adult teeth, even before they erupt.
What About Dental X-Rays?
Typically, x-rays are not taken until your child is about 6 or 7 years old. By this age, we may recommend that your child have their first orthodontic evaluation. X-rays will help us to monitor the development of their jaw and the growth of their adult teeth. We can use x-rays to determine or predict different types of orthodontic issues and the need for treatment.
Regular dental care is just as important for your child as it is for you. Call The Elmwood Dental Group LLC at (833) 432-1457 for more information and to schedule an appointment for your child today.

The development of solar power has created the opportunity to
capture the sun's energy, by adding a replacement solar panel kit to an
existing part of an item, such as a solar lighthouse replacement top.
Solar power was discovered many years ago, and the invention
of solar power cell technology is credited to a young French physicist named Edmond
Becquerel. Since his work in 1839, many other physicists and inventors helped
to further the invention, into the solar panels that we have today.
A solar panel works by letting particles of light, known as photons, to
bump electrons loose from the atoms. In doing this it creates electricity. A
solar panel is made up of a lot of little units that are called photovoltaic
cells. These cells linked together are what make a solar panel, and the cells
are what convert the sunlight into electricity.
Solar lighthouse replacement tops use this technology. By
adding a solar kit to your existing garden lighthouse, you can have a light
shining consistently, or you have the option to have the light appear
revolving. The best part is that if your lighthouse is set where it can capture
the sun's energy, it can run without any wires or electrical cords. This means
you do not need to keep it close to an electrical outlet.
The installation of the solar lighthouse replacement top is
not hard, and it only takes a few minutes to complete. Also, it is a small
compact feature that does not take away from the great look of your garden
lighthouse. Take advantage of the sun's energy by adding the solar lighthouse
replacement top to your lighthouse, today. | eng | 1749bebb-c66a-4958-a74a-31d4260f95f3 | https://countrylivingprimitives.com/blog/solar-lighthouse-replacement-tops/ |

FAQs About What is Call Time?
The best time to make a call depends on the person you are trying to reach and their availability. Generally, it is best to call during regular business hours, which are typically 9am to 5pm in the recipient's local time zone. If you are unsure of the best time to call, it is best to ask the recipient when they are available.
It is generally recommended to wait at least 24 hours before making a call. This allows the other person time to process the conversation and respond in their own time. If you need to make a call sooner, make sure to explain why you are calling and be respectful of their time.
The peak times for making calls vary depending on the region and time zone. Generally, the busiest times for making calls are between 8am and 9am, and between 5pm and 6pm. During these times, call volume is usually highest and wait times may be longer.
The best practices for making a call include:
1. Introduce yourself and state the purpose of your call.
2. Speak clearly and be polite.
3. Ask questions to ensure you understand the other person's point of view.

Biofeedback as a Supplemental Trauma Treatment
Did you ever have a mood ring? This type of ring features a clear plastic or glass "stone" with liquid inside that changes color as it changes temperature. Mood rings were generally sold along with a chart purporting to tell you what mood you were in, based on the color of the stone at any given moment. If you had a mood ring, did you ever intentionally try to get it to change color? If so, you've done biofeedback.
Biofeedback involves connecting a device's sensor to your body to measure brain waves, heart rate variability, breathing depth, muscle tension, body temperature, or some other physiological indicator (Yucha & Montgomery, 2008). The gathered information is conveyed through a feedback machine that provides visuals or sounds that tangibly depict your physiological state. For example, a dot on the screen will buzz and move as you become emotionally or physiologically activated, and will become increasingly still as you relax. By being able to view a graphic real-time portrayal of mind/body activation, individuals can learn and practice various strategies for bringing their mind and body into an optimal state (Yucha & Montgomery).
That optimal state is the point of biofeedback. Biofeedback-assisted development of self-regulation skills and practices have contributed to symptom reductions in many types of mental health disorders (Schoenberg & David, 2014). Even children can do this; video game style biofeedback technologies, designed to engage children, have been successful in reducing anxiety and depression (Knox et al, 2011). A number of studies have found that biofeedback led to symptom reduction – but not cure* – among individuals with PTSD (Gapen et al, 2016; Tan, Wang, & Ginsberg, 2013).
To treat psychological trauma and associated symptoms, it is best to rely on efficient, well-tolerated research-supported treatments such as EMDR and PC, that have reliably been found to cure or substantially mitigate post-traumatic stress. Even so, there can be important roles for biofeedback. During treatment, biofeedback can be used adjunctively to promote the therapy client's stability between sessions, as well as their ability to tolerate the trauma work during the therapy session. Furthermore, even after successful trauma healing, some people find that their hyper-arousal symptoms persist, and then biofeedback can be used to retrain the brain to a better habit of self-regulation.
You can pick up a mood ring for just a few dollars, but the higher quality biofeedback technologies cost somewhat more. Even so, biofeedback no longer requires an investment of tens of thousands of dollars for equipment that would only be owned by specialists. The technology is much more accessible now, and many devices are sufficiently small and inexpensive to be suitable for home use.
Biofeedback as a stand-alone is not going to cure PTSD. But for therapy clients – and former therapy clients – who are looking for ways to improve self-regulation, biofeedback has a lot to offer. We've come a long way from mood rings!
*A single study by Peniston & Kulkosky (1991) did find that biofeedback cured PTSD. However, that study had methodological issues, and the finding has not been replicated.

It is not be entirely inaccurate to refer to biofeedback in the context of working with trauma. However, neurofeedback would probably be a more appropriate and helpful term to use in this context because practitioners use neurofeedback instruments to helps regulate overstressed or underactive brains. Neurofeedback has been shown through empirical research (Bessel, Joseph van der Kolk, Spinazolla, Ed Hamlin, et. al. 2016) to help calm the 'fear driven brain (see: Sebern Fisher's book). In my own personal experience, it is effective in helping to calm down the nervous system. However, when you calm down the nervous system, that's when trauma memories will often emerge. The same thing can happen with yoga or somatic experiencing or meditation. Healing from PTSD is not just about 'doing' or engaging in a treatment modality. I think that keeping treatment objectives in mind is key. For example, where is this person in their healing journey? What does this particular client most need in terms of professional support and intervention? As Marylene Cloitre has demonstrated through her research, no 'one size fits all' treatment can effectively heal trauma. This has been Bessel's argument for years. I like the idea of creating interventions that combine various modalities such as neurofeedback (to calm down the nervous system/help with emotional regulation) and then using EMDR to process and intergrate trauma. I just returned from the trauma conference in Boston where I heard Sebern Fisher speak informally about neurofeedback during a session with Bessel, Paul Frewen and Ruth Lanius. These trauma 'experts' are quite invested in their focus in neurofeedback as they see it as the new froniter. It is quite exciting, as neuroscience research advances, that we're now able to develop a greater understanding of how develomental trauma effects the brain. Martin Teicher's work is significant as well insofar as he has essentially, in my opinion, successfully deconstructed the DSM. His lab is showing how the development of most every psychopathology is rooted in childhood trauma. They can see this by measuring the size of the hippocampus and different brain structures for example, the differences between boys and girls. It becomes quite apparent that there's something more going on than just genetics when we talk about chronic depression. The potential applications for neurofeedback and the implications of neuroscientific research that underlies it is quite huge. I believe that is why this is Dr. Bessel van der Kolk's primary areas of interest now. My own take on these developments is slightly different, however. One of the limitations of neurofeedback is that is does not constitute 'relational repair'. I do not see anything particularly 'relational' about sticking probes on a brain or sitting across from a computer screen. So for the purposes of working with complex trauma, I think neurofeedback definitely has its limitations.
1. I used "biofeedback" because it's a more general term, to include feedback based on body temperature, heart rate variability, etc. But this is not my area of expertise. Would the term "neurofeedback" cover those methods as well?
2. Another limitation of biofeedback is that it does not process the trauma memory. It can help people to manage and reduce their reactions to the trauma, but it does not heal the trauma via a memory reconsolidation process.
In response to #1, you are correct, Dr. Greenwald, body temperature and HRV are other measurements that are used, probably more commonly now due to a growing interest in polyvagal theory and the neurophysiological response as opposed to an emphasis on only the brain itself. Perhaps I mispoke because the field is expanding and evolving rapidly. I guess they call that biofeedback because you're not placing probes directly on the brain when using those interventions.
This is how the connection is drawn on the new Boston Neurodynamics website: "HRV s one type of biofeedback, where the individual learns to alter his/her heart rate via breathing to improve self regulation and functioning. During the training, a sensor that detects the heart beat is placed on the ear or finger. The times between the heart beats are being calculated (coherence). When the coherence is high, the individual receive in real time a visual and audio reward."
And, about HRV: "HRV stimulates the vagus nerve is connected to the brain stem and help the brain to switch from fight or flight mode to relax mode. The brain stem is connected to the limbic system, which helps the limbic system to calm."
#2. I appreciate this comment. This is where I got stuck with my own trauma work. Neurofeedback helped calm down my nervous system but it didn't consolidate the memories like EMDR. So, I do not honestly know if, perhaps, it has sonething to do with the client's presentation. Some professionals draw a distinction between borderline personality disorder and others do not. I think it can get confusing because not everyone has conscious awareness of their traumas or has a willingness or ability to 'go there.
Sebern Fisher's work, for example, is really about 'calming the fear driven brain' and creating emotional regulation. That sounds a lot like DBT for BPD to me.
I think the following comments from Sebern Fisher gives one a sense of where she, as a neurofeedback practitioner and proponent, sees as the benefit of her work with clients: "I don't think that Borderline personality disorder is a discreet disorder and I doubt highly that there is a genetic brain fault. I think of BPD as Complex Affect Regulation Disorder. The complexity comes from the fact that these are people whose early life experiences were terrible enough to leave them with developmental brain deficits -overstimulated fear circuitry in the limbic brain and sparse attachment experiences- that compromise prefrontal control of the sub cortical brain, just as this study suggests. This conspires to make it very difficult to shut down wild limbic firing leading to ambient and acute fear, rage and anger and shame ( self-hate) and all the cognitive and behavioral distortions that arise under these circumstances. They don't just feel these things, which is bad enough. They are overcome by these emotions to such an extent that they become them. They are what they feel. They have no separate identity. If you look at the Lanius slide in my book (C.4) you will see another brain representation of this reality. She took fMRI scans of people with no history of developmental trauma and scans of those with serious early trauma and neglect. It will make you weep. There is robust blood flow in the self-system or the default mode network in those with no history. There is hardly any activation of this self network in those with severe developmental trauma."
This has me wondering what Sebern Fisher means by 'self networks'. Does this mean that in severely traumatized individuals there is no sense of self? Isn't that the definition of BPD? No sense of self? Is this really the primary aims of 'good' neurofeedback or biofeedback is to create a sense of self? I imagine there might be more than one way to get there, but maybe neurofeedback or biofeedback is the most efficient means. Interestingly that is in direct contradiction with Frank Anderson's belief that everyone has a SELF according to Internal Family Systems. It's just a question of accessing it.
I am fascinated by the differences in various trauma treatment modalities and the process of trauma integration. I have personally found Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, Neurrofeedback, EMDR and now Flash EMDR all extremely helpful with my complex trauma – but each for different reasons. It's still believe it's the relational repair that is a key component regardless of what modality is chosen.
Thank you for responding to my original post. I also appreciate the ongoing dialogue and information you have posted about Flash EMDR. It has been validating as it has helped me make sense of my experience with this exciting new technique. 🙂 | eng | 5d598660-8123-480c-963b-58c09c361430 | https://www.ticti.org/blog/biofeedback/ |
APPLIED KINESIOLOGY
Applied Kinesiology is a sector of modern medicine that can lead to the accurate diagnosis and treatment of the structural, biochemical and psychological parameters of a patient's pathology.
It is used in a multitude of musculoskeletal conditions such as:
Athletic injuries
Cervical syndrome
Spinal cord injuries
Traumatic brain injury
According to the International College of Applied Kinesiology the treatment "is based on chiropractic principles and defines the manual manipulation of the spine, extremities and cranial bones as the structural basis of all its procedures".
Using the muscle test of most of the body's muscles as a means of neuromuscular communication and assessment, it facilitates the therapist to find the causes of the disease and the most effective treatment. In this way, with simple and neurologically targeted manipulations, mechanical problems of muscles, joints and spine can be corrected with unparalleled speed and precision.
The method is aimed at the holistic diagnosis of functional disorders of the body. It uses the muscle test as a reversal tool - bio-reaction of the Nervous system to different loads and challenges. Our method allows:
– To see the human body as a functional chain of interactions and interdependencies between various structures and systems of the body.
– To study disease as a violation of this functional chain. At the same time, the clinical manifestations are considered the manifestation of a sympathetically overloaded link in the affected chain, and from this point of view, the treatment applied to the pain point is irrational from the point of view of the pathogenesis of this pain.
– To consider how effective treatment is the correction of the mechanism of self-healing and self-development of the organism and the return of the normal functions of the nervous system using the appropriate stimuli (mechanical, biochemical, energy) that can restore the correct excitability and contractility in the tissues.
The choice of a diagnostic technique is based on the fact that the nervous system is the one that provides a huge number of connections in the body. In addition, its function is easily checked (with the muscle test) by assessing the speed of stimulation and the contractility of the motor elements it innervates. In addition, the use of the muscle test allows us to obtain a correct assessment of all parameters in a state of functional loading of the muscles.
Regarding biochemical and psycho-emotional disorders, through the muscle test, their deeper causes can be evaluated and their treatment can be personalized through treatment techniques that "reprogram" the central nervous system while simultaneously supporting the functioning of all regulatory systems - digestive, immune, hormonal and more generally of the autonomic nervous system. | eng | e48e402c-4554-4a45-8107-5f957ab8b157 | https://mtscenter.gr/en/treatments/460-applied-kinesiology |

you holding too much cash?
Are you holding too much cash?
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) says many savers may have too much cash and face the risk of wealth erosion.
As the regulator for personal financial products, the FCA is rightly concerned about financial scams and savers who are encouraged to choose inappropriate high-risk investments. Both are serious issues:
The FCA says that 3,378 consumers reported an estimated loss of £569 million to investment fraud in the year to 31 March 2021 – an almost threefold increase since 2018. On average, the loss was over £24,000 each.
That great old phrase springs to mind when avoiding scams: if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
Research undertaken for the FCA highlighted a lack of awareness of the risks associated with investing. Nearly half of investors who chose not to seek financial advice failed to recognise that 'losing some money' was a risk of investing.
Younger investors are taking high risks – 44% of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin are held by the under-34s. However, nearly two thirds of that age group also claim a significant investment loss would have a fundamental impact on their current or future lifestyle.
Against that background, it is perhaps surprising to see the FCA also warning individuals against holding too much cash: "Many consumers who might gain from investing currently hold their savings in cash".
Other FCA research suggests that over a third of adults with 'investible assets' exceeding £10,000 hold that wealth entirely in cash. Lower the barrier to more than 75% in cash and the proportion rises over half.
The FCA says – and the graph underlines – "Over time, these consumers are at risk of having the purchasing power of their money eroded by inflation". At the time of writing, CPI inflation was 3.2% while the best fixed interest rate was 2.00% on a five-year bond.
We all need some cash as a rainy-day reserve to cope with the unexpected. Beyond that level, a different reason is required to hold cash in a world where interest rates are outpaced by inflation.
That is exactly why at Oaklands Wealth we favour a diversified actively managed portfolio of assets suited to your age and risk profile which do not include a significant amount of cash.
If you find yourself sitting on other cash savings please consider combining them with your diversified portfolio as the longer you delay, the more inflation will erode the value of your cash | eng | d72ddd28-98b8-48a9-8bc3-5bd80680ab8e | https://oaklandswealth.com/are-you-holding-too-much-cash/ |

Internet security for an internet connection is outlined because the protection of computer systems and community from illegal activity. By definition, internet safety measures to prevent using the internet in order to entry information illegally. It also prevents unauthorized entry to information by taking precautions similar to firewalls, identification-safety software, anti-virus software program, spam filters, or by checking with the service provider about any unexpected activities on the community.
In an increasingly competitive world, governments are investing in internet safety to guard their public and private communications. There are a selection of various types of internet security accessible, but the most typical can be an important one, which is firewalls.
A firewall is a protecting layer that's used to limit the system to solely permit and not permit sure varieties of visitors. The software program utilized in establishing a firewall ensures that solely authorized persons can entry the community and never others who strive to do so.
Some firewall can block the entry to a sure file or group of recordsdata which comprise any kind of delicate or confidential data. The various kinds of firewalls embody normal, basic, server, and built-in.
Firewalls will also be designed to restrict access to a sure sort of file. This is completed by proscribing entry to certain information only by designated individuals.
The different types of firewalls are required to offer safety for a pc makes use of internet. A firewall for the web will stop people from accessing the network and web assets while preventing illegitimate users or ones who've an incorrect access token.
The internet safety software is generally put in on a computer when it's connected to the web. There are various several types of firewalls that are available to be used in the internet connection.
A WPA is an instance of a WPA2 firewall. This form of firewall would require the user to enable the firewall earlier than he/she accesses the network.
A KPA is a type of firewall that has a hard-coded password. This type of firewall would require an administrator to enable the firewall earlier than being able to access the community.
An IPS is a form of web security firewall that has no exterior configuration or administrator help. It is also called built-in security or net proxy.
A GFW is a form of internet security firewall that requires entry to the web. Any such firewall requires a router to be configured with its interface before permitting entry to the web.
Many other forms of firewalls are additionally available to be used in the web connection, but they are generally put in on the pc when it's connected to the internet. By installing an internet safety program on a pc, it is assured to protect it from hackers and to block them from accessing the internet.

Can "find and replace" prevent quarterly commentary errors?
Most people who write quarterly commentary struggle a bit with errors and typos. I wrote about some of my struggles (and solutions) in "Investment commentary numbers: How to get them right." As I mentioned in that post, I once made a bad mistake, naming the wrong quarter in my employer's quarterly commentary. That post prompted a reader to email me with his solution for commentary errors.
Find-and-replace solution
My reader starts his quarterly report by copying and pasting the previous quarter's report. After updating the numbers, he uses his word processor's find-and-replace function to update the name of the quarter. For example, he searches for "third quarter," and then has the software replace it with "fourth quarter."
This is a great solution for a short, structured quarterly report. In this case, the name of the recently ended quarter will always fall in the same place. This means the find-and-replace solution should function perfectly.
Use caution
If you write a more open-ended quarterly report, you should use the find-and-replace solution cautiously. Why? Because your text for the current quarter may also refer to significant events of the previous quarter.
Using auto-replace to substitute, for example, "fourth quarter" for "third quarter" could result in a sentence like the following: "Unlike in the fourth quarter, small-cap stocks performed well in the fourth quarter." Oops! You don't want that to happen.
To catch that kind of error, reading the text out loud is probably the most effective technique.

What is Collagen for Skin?
Collagen is a protein naturally found in our bodies, responsible for providing structural support to various tissues, including the skin. Collagen for skin production slows down with age, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin. Vegan collagen for skin is sourced from plant-based ingredients, and it contains collagen peptides that are readily absorbed by the body. It works as a supplement to replenish the lost collagen and rejuvenate the skin from within.
Hydrates and Nourishes: By improving the skin's ability to retain moisture, collagen powder acts as a powerful hydrating agent. It helps in restoring the skin's natural moisture barrier, preventing dryness and flakiness.
Even Skin Tone: Experiencing uneven skin tone and hyperpigmentation can be a cause of distress. Collagen powder aids in reducing dark spots and blemishes, promoting a more even and glowing skin tone.
Minimizes Scars: Collagen for skin has been shown to facilitate the healing process of scars and improve their appearance over time. It can help fade acne scars, stretch marks, and other skin imperfections.
Supports Nail and Hair Health: Collagen is not only beneficial for the skin but also for strengthening nails and promoting healthy hair growth.
Choosing the Right Collagen for Skin
Several elements should be taken into account when selecting the ideal collagen powder for your skin:
Source of Collagen: Ensure that the collagen powder is sourced from a reputable and reliable manufacturer. For those who prefer vegan products, look for collagen powder derived from plant-based sources.
Type of Collagen: Collagen supplements come in various types, with type I and type III being the most common for skin health. Type I collagen is ideal for enhancing skin elasticity, while type III contributes to overall skin health.
Additional Ingredients: Check the product label for any added vitamins, minerals, or antioxidants that complement the effects of collagen and promote skin health.
User Reviews: Reading customer reviews can provide valuable insights into the effectiveness and quality of the product.
Certifications: Look for certifications that ensure the product's safety and quality standards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can collagen powder replace my skincare products?

Anklet, also called ankle bracelet, is a bracelet that you wear around your ankle. There are a lot of different anklet styles, most of them being quite simple silver and gold chains. They look best with cropped jeans and pants, as well as with dresses, skirts, and shorts. They are a beautiful, small accessory that is subtle, but when noticed, very sexy. Some people even say that when you wear an anklet, the delightful sound of it on each step you take repels negative energy and vibrates positivity to everyone around it. | eng | 20c1fe3b-aa58-42cb-9d5c-a4da50b4b305 | http://www.jewellerydesignshub.com/2020/06/delicate-anklets.html |
counselingMany of us need to learn how to relax. Relaxation is necessary for mental wellness, improving our mental health. Mental health improves our physical health. The key to proper relaxation is reducing and eliminating stress.
Stress happens when we perceive threats to our happiness and well-being.
Times are changing. We have all been exposed to something new and something terrifying, some more than others. It takes great courage to stand up for yourself. It takes even more courage to reach out for help | eng | 50fc1cf2-17d6-44f5-aee1-ffec5c630c30 | https://sisterhoodagenda.com/tag/counseling/page/2/ |
Bell Let's Talk at Sudbury Catholic Schools
It's Bell Let's Talk Day on Wednesday, January 26 and Sudbury Catholic is joining the conversation all week long to raise awareness and encourage discussions about mental health.
One in five Canadians will experience a mental health illness at some point in their life, and most will be cautious about talking about it or reaching out for help. For anyone living with a mental illness, stigma is one of the biggest hurdles to overcome. In fact, it is why two-thirds of people do not seek help. Bell Let's Talk Day reminds us that talking is the best way to start breaking down the barriers associated with mental illness and accessing mental health support.
COVID-19 is affecting every aspect of our lives including a profound impact on our mental health and wellbeing. The pandemic has magnified historically deep-rooted economic, social, and racial inequities that continue to disproportionately affect Black, Indigenous, LGBTQQI2S+ and students living with special needs, in addition to other vulnerable and marginalized communities. We need to be flexible, creative, compassionate, and culturally responsive to support the realities and lived experiences these students and their families face. From helping people to recognize stressors to being there for someone, all these actions support mental health and strengthen our school communities during this challenging time.
During the week of January 24 to 28, educators are encouraged to intentionally pause and take some time to have classroom discussions about mental health and well-being. | eng | b3179c81-d4ad-4e48-b523-6527b522b7ec | https://baccss.sudburycatholicschools.ca/bell-lets-talk-at-sudbury-catholic-schools/ |

Today's accident disaster report Sunday 5-7-2023. Sunday night in Malappuram, Kerala, India, a double-decker boat carrying more than 30 passengers capsized supposedly due to overcrowding leaving 22, including children dead. Somehow, I just don't believe it. Why would a captain go over his/her weight/headcount limit? I'm not sure the size of the tourist boat, but it was a double decker, so it would stand the reason it could carry 30 passengers, who knows, but it just doesn't make sense to me.Children among 22 killed when tourist boat capsizes in India (msn.com) | eng | 9906b98b-673c-4441-a088-d518f911785b | https://www.truthfultv.com/group/truthfultv/discussion/f3112503-017d-4a60-956b-6975bb2ff4db |
gritech 4.0:
New technologies and interesting players
The Food and Agriculture Organization has warned for years that crop production needs to increase by 60-70% by 2050 to feed the demands of a growing global population. Energy, water and natural resource management, carbon emissions, labor shortages, natural disasters and economic uncertainty are affecting the industry that turns to technology for intelligent solutions.
While technology innovates to solve many of these issues, for example, reducing energy and water usage with AI analytics and sensors, or using geospatial imagery to increase weather resilience, other problems are proving to be more complex.
Luckily, the digital transformation of agriculture is in full swing. Industrial IoT devices, robotics, satellite connectivity, artificial intelligence and cloud-edge platforms are driving the acceleration of the sector.
Agriculture is one of the largest and most significant industries in the world, with a global value of $2.5 trillion, according to the World Economic Forum. The sector is dominated by companies like Cargill, CNH Industrial, Bayer and John Deere. | eng | c24ef721-a83d-493c-ba67-08d8910b8c0b | https://www.freshplaza.com/europe/article/9499172/new-technologies-and-interesting-players/ |

They Just Don't Grow Them Like They Used To
I played when tall guys did
Casual basketball observers, and even those who watch the game religiously, generally point out how today's players are "bigger, stronger and faster" than players of yesteryear. One thing they clearly are not is taller. I've been interested in it for awhile now, the more starting centers I see who are not 7'0 tall. So I actually researched the topic and found some startling evidence justifying my point.
Compare that with the start of this season and the centers that started. Kendrick Perkins is "generously" announced as 6'11 but it's obvious he's barely 6'10 (look at the team photo he's slightly taller than Scalabrine). Amare Stoudamire is 6'9. Duncan still considers himself a power forward so by default count 6'8 Matt Bonner for the Spurs. Dwight Howard is considered large and in charge and is all of 6'11.
Basically off the top of my head the only legit 7'0 starting centers I can think of are Yao, Shaq, Chandler, Bynum, Haywood, Lopez, Bogut, Kaman, and Marc Gasol. I'm probably missing a couple more but still- what are we talking maybe 12 or 13 at the most? With all the "global expansion" of imported talent, there's less 7 footers than there were 20 years ago? What gives?
People can blame the league expanding to 30 teams for the lack of talent (I do it all the time). But you can't blame it for not making players as imposing as they once were. So next time you argue with someone about today's players being "bigger," recognize that today's centers stack pretty short in comparison to their predecessors. | eng | 9f3d6de2-428e-4472-8c44-d68d8b1836ea | https://www.celticslife.com/2009/10/they-just-dont-grow-them-like-they-used.html |
Starfield details limitations and improvements in new video
The game's fuel system will limit how far you can go early on, but the quests will be deeper and more varied than Skyrim and Fallout 4.

Bethesda and Xbox have only shown Starfield three times on big stages, so I can understand that many of you still have plenty of questions about the highly anticipated game. Fortunately, the developers are starting to answer more and more of them. Expect to get even more answers moving forward.
That's because those of us who are a part of Starfield's Constellation program has gotten the first in a series of Q&A-like videos where game director Todd Howard answers many lingering questions about the project. This one doesn't just seemingly deny the previous claims about Starfield will have close to four times the amount of dialogue lines as Fallout 4 by stating it has approximately two and a half times as many with its 252,953+ right now. It also reveals that they abandoned the idea of having a realistic fuel system for our spaceships and have instead ended up with a version that limits how far we can travel in one go. Sprinkle in deeper and more diverse quests and being able to remove negative traits by completing certain quests or activities and improvements to the persuasion system and it's safe to say Starfield still sounds like the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim-developers' most ambitious game yet. | eng | 1007932e-4884-41d6-a1df-1365df99a825 | https://www.gamereactor.eu/starfield-details-limitations-and-improvements-in-new-video-1214313/ |
The Emotional Roller Coaster
Formulated in 1979 by Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman, the prospect theory, also known as the loss-aversion theory, posits that people do not relate the same levels of pleasure and pain with equal effects in which an individual tends to be more sensitive to loss compared to the same amount of gain. When deciding between multiple options, people avoid losses and optimize for certain wins since the agony of losing outweighs the satisfaction of an equivalent gain. The theory outlines how people choose between different "prospects" and how they gauge the perceived probability of each option, commonly in a biased or inaccurate manner. For example, the utility of a trader gaining USD100 is not the same as gaining USD200 and then losing USD100, even though the net amount of gain is USD100 because people are more emotional about losses, as shown in the below graph where the psychological value of the loss is larger than that of the gain.
The theory also explains one of the biases that people commit when making decisions. People are willing to take big risks to escape losses. A famous example is an incident that happened in the Barings Bank which is one of the oldest merchant banks in England that has defunct after 233 years of operations. The story begins by hiring Nick Leeson, a trader in the bank, who has covered losses in an error account worth more than GBP 23 million. Leeson used the doubling strategy to escape losses by betting double the lost amount to recover the losses. However, in 1995, the Great Hanshin Earthquake sent his trading positions into complete disarray with a total loss of around GBP 827 million, and his willingness to take a bigger risk to escape losses cost the collapse of a 233 old bank to be sold for GBP 1.
It is important for investors to guard against loss aversion by reframing losses as gains and setting conservative stop-losses to lessen realized losses. Remembering all of the intricacies of each option causes cognitive strain, so focusing on the differentiators makes sense. Leaving out similar aspects reduces the burden of comparing different options, but it can also result in inaccurate choices depending on how those choices are presented. Kahneman and Tversky did an experiment; they gave participants 2 different cases.
In Case 1, they gave people USD 1000 and gave them two options:
Gaining another USD 1000 with a likelihood of 50% and gaining nothing with a likelihood of 50%
Gaining USD 500 with a likelihood of 100%.
In Case 2, participants are given USD 2000, and they are given two options:
Losing USD 1000 with a likelihood of 50% or not losing at all with a likelihood of 50%
Gaining another USD500 with a likelihood of 100%.
Because the starting sums in the two situations were different, it turned out that the two scenarios were essentially equivalent: if they chose option B in the first scenario or option D in the second scenario, they would have the same amount of money in the end. (Options A and C are also interchangeable.) People, however, made opposite choices in the two scenarios: in case 1, the majority chose the risk-averse option B, whereas in case 2, the majority chose the loss-averse option C. And as implied by the example, changing the problem framing by modifying the initial amount and choices correspondingly led to a different | eng | c27a181b-6f1d-49f0-ae49-6c9f9e542d83 | https://cfifinancial.com/en/blog/the-emotional-roller-coaster |
Woman on the Run (1950)
4/5 (2)
"Woman on the Run" is a film noir directed by Norman Foster and released in 1950. The film tells the story of a manhunt for a witness in a murder case, who goes on the run after she learns that she is the killer's next target.
The film begins with a murder in San Francisco, where a man is gunned down in the street. The killer, who is a member of a notorious gang, is caught by the police, but the only witness to the crime, the victim's estranged wife, Eleanor Johnson (played by Ann Sheridan), goes missing.
The police enlist the help of Eleanor's husband, Frank (played by Ross Elliott), to help track her down. Frank, who has been living apart from his wife, hires a private detective, Dan Leggett (played by Dennis O'Keefe), to find her. But as Leggett begins to unravel the mystery, he realizes that there is more to the case than meets the eye.
As Leggett gets closer to the truth, he becomes the target of the killer, and he and Eleanor must work together to survive and clear her name.
"Woman on the Run" is a taut and suspenseful film noir that explores themes of betrayal, loyalty, and the search for truth. It features a standout performance by Ann Sheridan as the strong-willed and determined Eleanor, and Dennis O'Keefe as the tough and savvy detective, Dan Leggett. The film is notable for its stunning location shots of San Francisco and its use of real-life locations to create a gritty and realistic atmosphere. It is widely regarded as one of the most underrated films of the film noir genre. | eng | f59a1431-724b-43a6-94ae-246bd4a6a773 | https://blackandwhitemovies.org/woman-on-the-run-1950.html |
What does the extension method do in c and why do you need it

I'm new to c# and learned that extension methods allow you to "add" methods to existing types without having to create a new derived type, recompile, or otherwise modify the original type. What instances can you give to illustrateExtension Methods allow you to add additional methods to an existing type without affecting the original's specification. It enables you to extend the functionality of a type that you may not be able to inherit (because it is sealed) or for which you do not have the source code. | eng | 670c7ff0-1279-4747-a905-4c4c892735b6 | https://www.edureka.co/community/182308/what-does-the-extension-method-do-in-c-and-why-do-you-need-it |
