Survival games are a genre of video games that challenge players to survive in a hostile environment, often with limited resources and under difficult conditions. These games require players to gather resources, build shelters, and fend off threats such as hunger, thirst, and dangerous wildlife.
In survival games, players must make strategic decisions to ensure their survival. They need to manage their resources effectively, craft tools and weapons, and sometimes form alliances with other players to increase their chances of survival.
Survival games often have open-world environments, allowing players to explore vast landscapes and discover new resources and challenges. They also often include crafting systems, where players can combine different materials to create new items and structures.
Some popular survival games include Minecraft, Ark: Survival Evolved, Rust, and The Forest. Whether you prefer to play solo or with friends, survival games offer a thrilling and immersive gameplay experience that will put your skills to the test. | eng | cfb44794-db97-4c53-81a0-cd2daec83c08 | https://www.k7games.com/survival-games |
How to value your company and how Share Council can assist?
Determining the value of your company is an important process that can impact the future of your organization. It can be used to gain insights into the financial performance of the company and to determine how much the company is worth to potential investors or buyers. In this blog, we discuss some important considerations when valuing a company and how Share Council can assist.
Considerations when valuing a company
Financial performance
The financial performance of a company is a crucial factor in determining its value. It's important to look at key financial indicators such as revenue, profit, cash flow, and debt to assess how well the company is performing.
Market competition
Understanding how the company performs relative to competitors in the market is important. This can help in determining the value of the company in comparison to the competition.
Asset value
The value of the company's assets is another significant factor in determining its overall worth. This includes physical assets like properties, machinery, and equipment, as well as intellectual property such as patents and trademark rights.
Future outlook
Finally, it's important to consider the future outlook of the company. This can be influenced by factors like market growth, new products or services, and other elements that may impact the company's future performance.
Current financial performance is linked to market competition. If the company outperforms its competitors, it may be considered more valuable due to having a competitive advantage. Conversely, if the company lags behind the competition, this can negatively impact its value.
The value of the company's assets, both physical and intellectual, plays a significant role in determining the overall worth. Physical assets like properties, machinery, and equipment have tangible value. At the same time, intellectual property, such as patents and trademark rights, can represent substantial value that can influence competitive position and future earnings. These outlooks are crucial for assessing potential growth and performance.
How Share Council can assist in valuing a company
Share Council provides a platform for companies to track and manage share data, allowing you to have a clear understanding of the value of each share after determining the company's worth. This includes tracking stock options, SARs, and other stock plans. Determining the value of your company is an important process that requires careful consideration, and Share Council provides the right tools for this purpose.

Learn PowerPoint
Once you insert shapes on a slide, you may realize that it's not the perfect size. Do you want it larger, or a wee bit smaller? However, you want your shapes resized, it's easy to make the size change in a jiffy, right inside PowerPoint.
Like most Microsoft Office programs, PowerPoint follows the concept of selection, then action—so the first thing you need to do is to select the shape! Any shape that is selected shows several handles, as shown in both shapes you see in Figure 1, below.
Figure 1:Shapes have several handles
Look closely at Figure 1, and you'll find that any selected shape has several handles.
PowerPoint Keyboard Shortcuts
Resize using the Keyboard
You can also resize the selected shape by pressing the Shift key and then pressing any of the four arrow keys on your keyboard. This option takes the center of the shape as an anchor point to resize from. Use any of following command combinations to resize the shape.
Shift + Up Arrow increases the height of the shape
Shift + Down Arrow decrease the height of the shape
Shift + Left Arrow decrease the width of the shape
Shift + Right Arrow increases the width of the shape
As you resize the shape, you can see the height and the width change dynamically within the Size group of Drawing Tools Format tab of the Ribbon, as shown in Figure 7, below.
Figure 7:The Drawing Tools Format tab includes the Size group
Also, you can check the Lock Aspect Ratio check-box in the Format Shape pane, as shown in Figure 9, later on this page, and then use Shift in combination with any of the arrow keys to proportionately resize the selected shape.
The options explained above allow you to resize based on what you see rather than resizing them to exact numerical values. To resize any shape to an exact size, you first select it. This activates the Drawing Tools Format tab on the Ribbon, as shown in Figure 7, above. Within the Size group, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 7, change the Height and the Width values to resize the shape. You must press Enter after typing in a value. You can also use the increase or decrease buttons next to the numbers to increase or decrease the value.
To view even more resize options, click the small arrow dialog launcher located at the bottom right corner of the Size group, as shown highlighted in red within Figure 8, below.

When is a thesis scientific?
When is a thesis scientific?
A scientific work is a systematically structured text in which one or more scientists present the result of his or her independent research. Research colloquia or lectures at a scientific conference. …
When is a text scientific?
A scientific text should therefore neither be a 'reflection essay' nor a 'poetry of concern'. It can best be compared with the discussion known from school days in which a thesis is discussed. The scientific work can check your own thesis or a third-party thesis.
What characterizes scientific knowledge?
According to KRUSE, O. (2007, 61), scientific knowledge is characterized by systematising, reflecting, checking and writing down. This knowledge is also well founded in comparison to everyday knowledge.
What are scientific foundations?
The sciences that form the knowledge-based or philosophical prerequisites for a subject are called basic, fundamental or basic science.
What are the basics?

The Evolution of Film: How Technology and Culture Have Shaped the Movie Industry
Share:
The cinema business has evolved dramatically over the previous century, and it is now a global phenomenon that affects the lives of billions of people worldwide. From the first silent films to the most recent blockbusters, developments in technology and societal attitudes have affected the history of cinema.
One of the primary reasons driving the growth of cinema has been technical breakthroughs that have enabled the creation of more complex and aesthetically spectacular films. Filmmakers have been able to push the limits of what is possible and create fully immersive experiences for viewers from the advent of sound in the 1920s until the creation of computer-generated imagery (CGI) in the 1990s.
Another significant aspect has been the shift in views of both spectators and filmmakers. Today's films reflect current cultural, social, and political perspectives, and filmmakers have been fast to adjust to shifting audience preferences and expectations. For example, the emergence of independent cinema in the 1960s and 1970s made it possible to hear more varied voices and viewpoints, but the explosion of streaming services in the past decade has made it simpler than ever for independent filmmakers to reach a worldwide audience.
Despite these changes, several aspects of the film business remain unchanged. The power of a well-told tale continues to fascinate viewers, making filmmaking one of the most potent forms of creative expression. Whether it's a classic Hollywood epic or an indie film that tackles new and novel ideas, the growth of cinema is still being pushed by the passion and ingenuity of filmmakers and the general audience.
To summarise, the cinema business has gone a long way from the days of silent films, with technological developments and changes in cultural views playing a significant influence in its history. Today, the film business is one of the most active and fascinating aspects of popular culture, and its influence on the globe is only expected to expand in the coming years | eng | f9f7b4e7-afa5-49aa-934a-95167a5aa211 | https://www.filmifeed.com/the-evolution-of-film-how-technology-and-culture-have-shaped-the-movie-industry/ |
Five Eyes Surveillance – The Governments are Out to Get Your Data
The internet was never a safe place to roam freely. And since 1946, it hasn't been a place to surf privately. What started as an agreement purposed to decrypt the Soviet Russian intelligence during the Cold War is still being implemented today. It's called the Five Eyes Surveillance and it's collecting and sharing your data. Still in the dark? Then here's everything you need to know about the Five Eyes Alliance (FVEY).
What Is The Five Eyes Country List?
The Ugly Truth
It's a commonly known fact now that governments all over the world want to get involved in your online activities. Online surveillance is rampant and the federal authorities don't care about user privacy at all.
Each country has its own agency or program that does the surveillance, and sometimes countries can team up to take the monitoring and spying activities to a whole new level.
It's scary to think that something like this can happen and even scarier to realize that this does actually happen. Here we will discuss the spying organizations of 5 Eyes, 9 Eyes, and 14 Eyes.
These are mutual agreements by governments of various countries. As an average internet user, this knowledge is important to you so you can protect your data from their snooping.
What's Up With These Programs?
Various governments from all over the world have collaborated to come together and conduct surveillance on their citizens and share this data with other governments in their organization.
This helps them gather intelligence from each other and also helps them evade anti-spying and pro-privacy laws. There are many such groups of "Eyes", and the core of them lies in five countries known as the Five Eyes.
It sounds terrible and more of a conspiracy theory but Five Eyes is very real. It is an intelligence alliance and is open to public knowledge.
Five Eyes Countries List
The Five Eyes agreement was earlier known as the UKUSA agreement (first known as the BRUSA Agreement). This agreement has been in existence for several decades and dates back to the Cold War.
In 2010, the complete text of the agreement was released in public by the UK and the USA. It was a historic move and was termed as the most important document of the Cold War.
While the agreement is really old, it is still practiced and the focus of the surveillance has shifted from physical to digital. All of your online activities are monitored by the government. You can find the text of the agreement here.
The Countries
Now that you know what the Five Eyes Alliance is and does, here are the five anglophone countries and their security agencies:
USA (NSA)
UK (GCHQ)
Australia (ASD)
Canada (CSEC)
New Zealand (GCSB)
Back in 1946, the agreement was signed by the two nations. It was later extended to include former British Dominions, Canada followed in 1948, and Australia and New Zealand in 1956.
"When you get a GCHQ [UK's SIGINT organization] pass it gives you access to the NSA too. You can walk into the NSA and find GCHQ staff holding senior management positions, and vice versa.
When the NSA has a piece of intelligence, it will very often ask GCHQ for a second opinion. There have been ups and downs over the years, of course. But in general, the NSA and GCHQ are extremely close allies. They rely on each other."
Again, this might sound like a conspiracy theory, but in reality, it's not. We don't blame you, actually. At first, even the Australian prime ministers weren't aware of the existence of such an agreement. It was later reported that they knew of their country's involvement back in 1973.
Nine Eyes Countries
This agreement includes the Five Eyes countries and these:
Denmark
Norway
France
Holland
These are the counties that joined the UKUSA agreement as third-parties. While they are targeted by the Five Eyes countries for their intelligence, they do get benefits in exchange. With the help of Five Eyes countries, they gather information on their own citizens.
Fourteen Eyes countries
These are the countries in the Nine Eyes agreement, plus:
Germany
Spain
Sweden
Italy
Belgium
These 14 countries work together to hold joint surveillance of their own citizens. They also spy on the targeted countries. The agreement helps the governments to evade the privacy laws of their own countries.
For example, if the US government cannot spy on its people because of legal issues, it will let another country spy on its people and then collect data from them. So technically, they are not breaking any laws.
This is indeed a scary situation. Even if your government says they are not spying on you, they might gather your data through another country's spying operations.
There's More? Eyes Everywhere!
You might think that if you live outside these countries, you're totally safe and your life is completely private. Well, that's not the case.
The Five Eyes are everywhere, and they have friends all over the world, collecting and sharing your data with their agencies. So the truth is this: The 14 Eyes is not the end of it.
There are 27 more eyes out there, which brings us to a total of 41. It consists of all the countries mentioned above, with the addition of the allied coalition in Afghanistan.
The Five Eyes alliance also has "focused cooperation" on computer network exploitation with countries including:
Austria
The Czech Republic
Greece
Hungry
Iceland
Japan
Luxembourg
Norway
Poland
Portugal
South Korea
Switzerland and
Turkey
It's sad, but it's the truth. Our private information is never safe or (Private) if such agencies are all over the world out to get their hands on it.
How Can You Stay Protected?
Knowing that the governments over the world are out to get your data can be a bit unnerving. The good thing is that there are ways to protect your data from falling into the wrong hands.
A simple way to do it is by using a VPN. A VPN will encrypt your data so that the government will be unable to read it. When you use a VPN, your data is tunneled through a secure channel. Plus, VPNs are super simple to use.
This technique helps you navigate around ISP and government surveillance and your data is protected. Apart from using VPNs, there are some other options to keep your data safe. Here are the most popular options.
Encrypt Your Communication
To avoid being monitored, you should make sure all your communication is encrypted, including your chat apps. There are plenty of secure messaging apps you can use for that purpose. For example, you can use Signal to message your friends. It's a free app that lets you send and receive encrypted messages that can be read-only by you and your friend.
Another widely popular app, Whatsapp, is encrypted but it does keep some metadata. For example, the information about the person you're sending messages to is kept and stored by Facebook.
Cover the Webcam
A simple method to protect your information is to disable the mic and put a tape on the laptop webcam.
Update Your Software
Make sure your devices are updated to their latest versions. This is one way to evade hacking attempts. Mobile devices with outdated software are more likely to get compromised. Companies such as Google and Apple keep launching regular updates to make sure all the recent bugs are removed and holes are patched.
If your phone is not updated, it will still have the old vulnerabilities. Apart from keeping the device updated, you should also keep it locked and use a strong password that cannot easily be guessed.
Don't Get a Smart TV (Or secure it)
To make sure your smart TV doesn't spy on you, disable its listening features. Also, when you're not watching it, make sure it's completely unplugged. However, the best way to avoid surveillance by a smart TV is by not buying it at all.
Five Eyes Surveillance – Conclusion
While the governments can collaborate to spy on your connection, you still have a lot of control over your data. By taking some precautionary measures and using a VPN, you can stay safe.
Just make sure you don't browse the unprotected internet too much. Any detail you send over the internet can be traced back to you unless you use a VPN.

UNCLOS
The ocean is home to millions of species, many of which are still unknown to humans. It supplies us with oxygen and each year absorbs nearly 25% of the greenhouse gases we produce by burning fossil fuels. However, vast areas of the high seas, which cover nearly half of the Earth's surface, remain unregulated.
Innovative research is uncovering previously unknown species in deep seas vulnerable to over-fishing, pollution and habitat destruction.
Oceans researcher and campaigner Alex Rogers first experienced the full visual impact of ocean plastic pollution in 2015: "I was diving in Honduras in 2015 at Utila in the Bay Islands and there were all these beautiful coral reefs, but as we came around the island we were faced with a raft of rubbish stretching out as far as you could see: plastic bottles, expanded polystyrene, fibreglass, every kind of human waste you could imagine … I have never witnessed such a huge quantity of debris. It was horrific."
Not that it was his first brush with ocean plastic. That had come three years earlier, when he and his team were exploring seamounts in the Indian Ocean between Madagascar and Antarctica.The jury is in on marine reserves: They work. Research has repeatedly shown that fish numbers quickly climb following well-enforced fishing bans, creating tangible benefits for fishers who work the surrounding waters. In fact, many experts believe fishing will only be sustainable if marine reserves are expanded significantly.
That's why some activists and scientists are now discussing the idea of creating a marine reserve so big it would cover most of the ocean. Specifically, they want fishing banned in international waters.
Recent research suggests fisheries closures would have minimal effect on global food security, but some scientists think the case isn't so clear cut.
Far offshore are the high seas—waters beyond any country's jurisdiction and the focus of a contentious debate. The high seas, which cover nearly two-thirds of the ocean's surface, have recently seen an increase in fishing and other activities, such as deep-sea mining. To protect the biodiversity of this vast environment, delegates attending a meeting currently underway in New York are negotiating for a new international treaty, an addition to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the SeaAs the International Seabed Authority meets to debate environmental regulations for the extraction of minerals from fragile ocean habitats, the debate grows between nations and corporations favoring mining and scientists concerned about irreversible impacts.
How could the exploitation of the resources of the deep seabed conceivably benefit humanity? What risks does such exploitation pose to the marine environment? And how can we ensure that governance in this area is fair – for all of humankind? The latest IASS Policy Brief examines what the International Seabed Authority can do to reconcile the use of the 'common heritage of mankind' with the global sustainable development goals formulated in the 2030 Agenda | eng | fb81173c-4100-46f4-acea-616e6d70d13b | https://savethehighseas.org/tag/unclos/ |
Here is my solution, hope it helps, what it does is this:
it created a boolean called "open" and when you click the button, it checks whether open is true or false, and based on that, it changes the boolean and you can input the code within the if statement

The National Testing Agency, which conducts NEET-UG, says 16.14 lakh students have registered for the exam this year — highest in the last five years.

New Delhi: A steady rise has been noticed in the number of students registering for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), which is held for admission to medical and dental courses in India.
According to data shared by the National Testing Agency (NTA), which conducts the entrance test, 16.14 lakh students have registered for the exam this year — the highest in the last five years. This number was 15.97 lakh in 2020, 15.19 lakh in 2019, 13.26 lakh in 2018 and 11.38 lakh in 2017.
In these five years, registrations have risen by 42 per cent.
According to experts, factors like additional medical seats have played a major role, but there is also a link to the Covid-19 pandemic over the last couple of years.
"The number of medical aspirants has been on the rise constantly because of a number of reasons, including the lowering scope in engineering. However, Covid has given a big push to the numbers because people realise that it is very important to have a medico in the family," said B. Srinivas, Additional Director General, Medical Education, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) told ThePrint.
"The decreasing scope in engineering has also diverted science students to pursue medicine. If they go for medicine, they can have the assurance that they can start their own practice if they do not get a job," he added.
Falling interest in engineering discipline?
"The pandemic is very recent and it has, of course, led to an increased interest in pursuing medical education. But one of the biggest reasons that more students want to pursue medicine is because of the decreasing scope in engineering," said Pandey. "More and more science students that I counsel go to medicine instead of engineering as they see more scope over there."
Various government and private agencies have discussed thedeclining scope of engineering education in the country in the last few years.
This also led the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) to slash seats across engineering colleges. In 2020, the council declared that no new engineering colleges will beallowed to open in the 2021-22 academic year.
Rise in medical seats
In contrast, medical seats have seen a rise in the last few years. According to MoHFW data, there were 54,348 medical seats in 404 public and private colleges in 2014-15. These numbers rose to 83,075 and 554, respectively, in the session2021-22.
"Number of medical seats have increased in the last few years, which is why we see more students applying now. The number of colleges is also more now, because the ones that were not recognised during the Medical Council of India (MCI) have now been recognised under National Medical Council (NMC)," he told ThePrint.
In 2020, NMCreplaced MCI as the body that sets standards for medical education in the country.
Sood added that Covid is not the main reason behind higher applications, but is definitely an additional factor. | eng | 80840d59-a50f-4c26-8eb7-bda585131bad | https://theprint.in/india/education/neet-registrations-on-the-rise-experts-say-covid-a-factor-but-more-seats-the-bigger-reason/719316/ |

Effective Investor Outreach: The Key to Securing Funding for Startups
Effective Investor Outreach: The Key to Securing Funding for Startups
Investor outreach is a crucial step in the fundraising process for startups. It involves identifying and reaching out to potential investors who can provide the capital needed to grow and scale a business.
In this article, we will discuss the benefits of effective investor outreach and the key steps that startups can take to make it a successful endeavor. One of the main benefits of effective investor outreach is that it can help startups to secure funding from the right investors. By identifying and reaching out to investors who are a good fit for the business, startups can increase the likelihood of closing a funding round and securing the capital they need to grow.
Another benefit of effective investor outreach is that it can help startups to build relationships with potential investors. By reaching out to investors and engaging in ongoing communication, startups can establish themselves as a credible and trustworthy business in the eyes of potential investors. This can be particularly valuable in the early stages of a business when the company is not yet well-established.
To make investor outreach effective, startups should first identify their target investors and research them. This includes learning about their investment history, portfolio companies, and areas of interest. This will help startups to determine which investors are the best fit for their business and tailor their pitch accordingly.
Next, startups should develop a compelling pitch that highlights the key aspects of their company and investment opportunity. This should be clear and concise, and should focus on the key value proposition of the business and the potential for future growth.
Finally, startups should create a list of key contacts at each potential investor and find a way to contact them. This can be done through personal introductions, cold emailing, or attending networking events.
In conclusion, effective investor outreach is crucial for startups looking for funding. By identifying and reaching out to the right investors, building relationships with them, and having a compelling pitch, startups can increase their chances of securing the capital they need to grow and scale their business. | eng | 26b78f05-81a9-49fc-a98f-6e4b9033e932 | https://stormxcapital.io/funding-outreach-startup/ |
Birds
Large white British gull: Glaucous Gull
The Glaucous Gull that has been at Newlyn Harbour, Cornwall for a couple of weeks was feeding on mackerel scraps thrown in by two boys fishing at the end of the harbour wall.
Its larger size and white primaries made it stand out from the hoards of Herring Gulls. The light wasn't great for photography and having a moving off-white subject set against an uninspiring pale sky was never going to produce a great shot.

Most people with either public or private healthcare insurance like their coverage—but they like it a lot less when they're sick, according to a new KFF survey.
The KFF analysts polled 3,605 American adults with insurance coverage and found most people have trouble understanding their insurance policies regardless of education level. In addition, those surveyed said good mental health care coverage continues to grow as a concern, and many said they're not satisfied with the choice of providers available in their plans.
The study highlights that Americans seem to have a love-hate relationship with their insurance coverage, and their feelings often depend on what sort of coverage they have as well as their income, race and/or ethnicity.
Even those with positive feelings toward their healthcare coverage can note troublesome problems they want to see addressed.
However, the survey also found that while most insured adults who consider their health "excellent" or "good" give their health insurance coverage an overall positive rating (84%), that drops to 68% among adults who considered their health to be "fair" or "poor."
Medicare beneficiaries felt the most positive about their coverage (91%), while those in ACA marketplace plans felt the least positive (73%).
"Having coverage is valuable to people, and so not surprisingly, most who have it rate it favorably overall," the survey said. "But we don't buy health insurance in case we stay healthy, so monitoring how coverage works for people who are sick is particularly important in gauging how well our health insurance system works when people need it the most."
For instance, in the last year, the survey found that 27% of adults said their health insurance covered less than they expected, with 18% saying insurance didn't pay anything. Twenty-six percent said that they couldn't make an appointment with an in-network provider, while 14% said their insurance did not cover care at a particular doctor or hospital they wanted to use Sixteen percent said their insurer denied or delayed prior approval for needed care, according to the survey.
Although most insured adults gave payers positive marks for prescription copayments (61%), premiums (54%) and out-of-pocket costs, that outlook also changed depending on the type of coverage.
For example, 46% of those enrolled in employer plans and 56% of people with marketplace coverage rated premiums "fair" or "poor." More than a third (35%) of those with employer-sponsored coverage and 43% of people with marketplace plans said the same about copayments for prescriptions.
By comparison, 1 in 5 Medicare beneficiaries rated their out-of-pocket costs as "fair" or "poor," according to the survey.
While payers have taken steps to help members understand their benefits, the survey makes clear that there's still work to be done. Respondents were asked about their familiarity with key aspects of health coverage, including critical aspects like how to find providers and key terms like "deductible," "allowed amount" or "prior authorization." Over half (51%) said that they found at least one of these terms difficult to understand.
This trend held true across education levels, the survey found. Fifty-eight percent of college graduates said they had difficulty understanding an aspect of their insurance coverage.
"What people have difficulty understanding varies somewhat depending on their type of coverage, with people covered by private insurance through an employer or the Marketplace generally having more trouble comprehending their insurance than those enrolled in public coverage through Medicare or Medicaid," the survey said.
About 9 in 10 insured adults said they approve of mandates for insurers to maintain accurate and up-to-date information about their provider networks, claims denial rates, easy-to-read explanation of benefits documents, advanced notification about what's covered and out-of-pocket costs.
About 80% said they would like to see the creation of a consumer assistance program to help them understand health insurance issues.
"Trying to fix a health insurance problem can be time consuming," the survey said. "Among adults who say their insurance problem has been resolved, either satisfactorily or not, 27% say it was resolved the same day it occurred, 25% say it took more than one day but less than one week, 31% spent one to four weeks, and 17% spent more than one month."
Mental health has become a major concern for employers and other payers, spurred in part by anxiety caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many people surveyed reported problems accessing mental health care (45%), including those who describe their mental health as "fair" or "poor," with younger people as well as Black and Hispanic respondents the most likely to do so.
"Given that many insured adults don't attempt to access mental health services, it is useful to examine impressions of mental health coverage among those with greater mental health needs," the survey said.
Forty-five percent of people who described their mental health as "fair" or "poor" gave their insurer a negative rating for the availability of mental health therapists and professionals, with 56% of those with ACA marketplace coverage saying so.
Survey respondents cited many reasons for not getting mental health care, with 37% saying that their insurance wouldn't cover it. Others said that they couldn't afford it (44%), they couldn't get an in-person visit (42%) or that they just didn't have time (47%). | eng | 14f2493e-60ee-4b5e-9c62-38c64622ba40 | https://jrreport.wordandbrown.com/2023/06/20/satisfaction-with-healthcare-coverage-spread-unevenly-across-payer-types-kff-survey/ |

Ginkgo biloba
Ginkgo biloba
Common Name | Maidenhair Tree
Non-CA Native
Tree
As one of our favorite trees for the Bay Area, Ginkgo biloba is also one of the oldest trees in existence. It features a broad symmetrical crown and can often be found in urban landscapes and many public spaces because it has virtually no insect or disease weaknesses. This eye-catching tree has distinctive foliage with parallel venation in the unique fan-shaped leaves with a spur attachment point. In the fall, these iconic leaves turn a brilliant, stunning yellow, and drop in unison. The result is an easy cleanup. Since the tree is dioecious, with male and female reproductive organs in separate trees, it's important to choose a cultivar such as 'Princeton Sentry' or 'Autumn Gold'. These varieties don't have the smelly fruit of the female tree | eng | 1f57a8b6-ccea-45ff-bf9a-e4efaa3da334 | https://pacificnurseries.com/popular_plant/ginkgo-biloba/ |

Conditional GETs explained (with Node.js)
This post is a mirror of a post I wrote on my own blog. Feel free to check it out here! I release articles on my website 2 weeks earlier than here.
--
Let's imagine one day you've been poking around the network usage section of your phone--trying to see what apps are killing your allotted 10GB of mobile data.
You scroll down and notice the usual suspects, YouTube, TikTok, whatnot. Then out of the blue, you start to see a bunch of applications that seem out of place: Newspaper apps, stock apps, even some banking apps! These apps can sometimes use more bandwidth than what you think.
How could that be? It turns out that many applications from the New York Times to Robinhood will often re-poll for the latest information from every few minutes to every second. These constant GET requests, while small, can add up.
In this article, I'll be explaining to you a method many of these Apps (hopefully) use to reduce the amount of bandwidth they take up, Conditional GETs. Conditional GETs can help prevent your apps from getting the same 20kb response every time you ping your server.
The gist
Conditional GETs are used in asset caching to prevent a browser from receiving the same javascript/image/CSS payload if a browser cached the latest copy. We should try to use conditional GETs in any request to the server when we poll for cachable content.
Let's look at a typical flow for the conditonal request:
The browser requests some content from a website.
The server returns the content with one or both of these headers:
Last-Modified: some-date - The time (usually a timestamp) that this content was last modified
Etag: some-generated-value - A unique id referencing a resource to a particular state in time
An ETag could be a hash of the content, an id assigned whenever the content is updated, or a unique string representing the content
The browser requests the same content later time; the browser can pass some conditional request headers:
If-Modified-Since: some-date - The last timestamp saved on the browser
If-None-Match: some-generated-value - The previous ETag saved on the browser
The server will check if any of those two values satisfy these conditions:
If the content is the same, the server will return a 304 status
If the content is different, the server will return new data with a new Last-Modified and or Etag.
In Practice
In the example below, I am creating a server that allows a user to update and retrieve their user information. The application would allow us to fetch a user's social media information on request.
We use the attribute updatedAt of someUser to validate the "newness" of response and return it as Last-Modified. We will work with ETags later.
Going Deeper
More headers!
The conditional request specification gives us a few different conditional header tags we can work with besides If-None-Match and If-Modified-Since. Those are listed below:
If-Match: If the ETag on the server matches the ETag passed in, the server should send us new data.
If-Unmodified-Since: If the timestamp on the server is older than the timestamp we pass in, the server should send us new data.
If-Range: If an ETag or timestamp on a server matches a range of timestamps of ETags we pass in, the server should send us new data.
Strong and Weak Validation
The ETag HTML specification provides us two methodologies we can implement for validating our Etags:
Strong validation must ensure that the content requested is byte-by-byte the same as the previously requested content for a client to receive a 304 response. An example could be a dataset containing all your banking information. If anything has changed on the server, we should always send the most recent data.
Weak validation means that the server's content could be different from what already is on the client, but the change is not significant enough for the server to pass back new data. Let's go back to that banking information example. Let's say the banking information also contains some metadata information on an A/B test going on. This information is not essential and probably doesn't need to be updated on the client if we are performing live updates on the browser.
To ask a server to perform weak validation, you would prepend your Etag with W/.
Let's build a server that can perform both strong and weak Etag validation.
constexpress=require('express');constmd5=require('md5');constserver=express();constport=3000;constarticle={content:'Hello there! this is an article there!',meta:'Meta content for user',adInfo:'349243'}// gets an article from "our database"constgetArticle=()=>Promise.resolve(article);constgenerateETag=(article)=>{constcontentHash=md5(article.content);constmetaHash=md5(article.meta+article.adInfo);return`${contentHash}_${metaHash}`;}constvalidateETag=(etag,article)=>{constuseWeakValidation=etag.includes('W/');constparsedTag=etag.replace('W/','');if(useWeakValidation){constweakCompare=md5(article.content);returnweakCompare===parsedTag.split('_')[0];}conststrongCompare=generateETag(article);returnstrongCompare===parsedTag;}server.get('/article',async(req,res)=>{constetag=req.headers['if-none-match'];constarticle=awaitgetArticle();if(!etag||validateETag(etag,article)){res.sendStatus(304);return;}constnextEtag=generateETag(article);res.setHeader('ETag',nextEtag);res.send({article});})server.listen(port,()=>console.log(`App listening at
Enter fullscreen modeExit fullscreen mode
Above, we created a function called generateTag that creates an ETag composed of two parts, a contentHash and metaHash. The contentHash is an md5 hash of only the article's content. The metaHash is an md5 hash of all the non-content parts of this article.
We also created a validation function that will:
If weak validation is requested: we return a new payload if the article's content's md5 hash is different than what is on the server. We will send a 304 if any other data has changed.
If strong validation: we will return content if anything in our article object has changed, we check both parts of the md5 hash group.
Weak validation is a little more complicated to implement then just checking if any byte has changed. Still, the benefit of building weak validation can help reduce unnecessary GETs when doing repetitive polls.
Conclusion
Conditional GETs are a straightforward way to reduce the bandwidth handled through your application. The bandwidth savings can directly reduce your networking costs and also help your customers reduce their networking costs (if they pay for their bandwidth).
Try this solution out alongside client-side caching, and you can have even more savings as users who return to your website or app don't need to redownload content that hasn't changed since their last visit. Anyway, give it a go--let me know what you make!
What are you developing with, most static asset middleware should already come with it prebuilt. If you're using express, using express.static function should automatically come with etag support and caching. | eng | 17c50765-3139-4596-9de2-bc03d997feeb | https://dev.to/4shub/reducing-server-bandwidth-with-conditional-gets-54h6 |
THE MINDSET LIST® OF SHRINKING ATTENTION SPANS
In
1 2015: Citing a dubious footnote in a Microsoft study, leading media publications proclaimed that the average human attention span is now one-second fewer than that of the average goldfish—whose focus lasts 9 seconds.
2 Goldfish have long been known by marine biologists for their excellent memory and learning capacities.
3 A California professor of "info-metrics" has found that average human screen time has declined from 2+ minutes in 2004 to 47 seconds today.
4 More impulsive personalities and those considered "neurotic" allegedly have shorter screen- time focus.
5 The California professor has found that shrinking ability to focus on a screen is correlated with higher blood pressure.
6 Commercials of 60 seconds were not unusual 20 years ago; now they may be as short as 6.
7 Films made only 15 years ago—such as Atonement and Children of Men—had scenes that lasted up to six minutes.
8 Movie scenes today are shorter than they used to be, and so is the average film's feature length, but this trend may be due to controlling financial risks as much as to a shorter customer attention span.
9 It has long been an academic consensus that student attention during a lecture peaks after about 15 minutes and declines thereafter—though the charisma of the lecturer may well lengthen the focus.
10 It seems that we self-interrupt almost as often as we are interrupted—even if our task is not disrupted by a phone call or text message ping, we call or text someone ourselves.
11 On the premise that there are so many features but so little time, websites are now locked into a vicious "attention-economy" struggle—where click bait" is of inestimable value.
12 Those who deny that attention spans area shrinking point out that such spans are task-dependent and that there is no good evidence that people cannot focus on jobs that require longer to complete.
13 Switching often among tasks is sometimes termed "switch costs," leading to more anxiety, less concentration, and more errors.
14 Some management experts advocate that companies mandate certain times of the day when emails can be neither sent nor received: it is easier to go cold turkey collectively than individually.
15 In Ireland and France are "right to disconnect" regulations that prohibit employers from intruding on employees' time—with emails or texts—once they are off work and this permits them, if they wish, to lock their phones in a drawer until morning comes.
16 TED talks may be no longer than 18 minutes.
17 On YouTube there are at least 10 videos on the intricate philosophy of existentialism—none longer than 14 minutes.
18 Multi-tasking may be an over-hyped and inefficient "skill" unless you are walking and chewing gum at once or singing in the shower.
19 Some research shows that if you are interrupted doing task 1 you will not return to it for an average of 25 minutes but rather move on to task 2 until you are interrupted again and then move on to task 3.
20 Hiding social media apps on your phone so that you have to work hard to find them might lead to lower hypertension.
21 Those giving public talks might note that Americans check their phones an average of 352 times per day.
22 In a 2009 Pixar film called Up, Squirrel the Talking Dog was distracted with pitiful ease by almost anything.
23 Daily news podcasts are quick to point out that they can cover essential information in under 5 minutes.
24 ADHD diagnoses in children increased fivefold between 1999 and 2010; in adults, they doubled from 2007-2016.
25 This List has taken only a few minutes, tops, to read, but in the spirit of our times of reduced attention, the author is loath to make it longer | eng | e52a5859-4b5b-4fac-9eab-d23a7ed69193 | http://themindsetlist.com/2023/03/the-mindset-list-of-shrinking-attention-spans/ |
Souter Lighthouse
Lighthouse In Whitburn, Tyne And Wear
Built in the 1870s, it was the first lighthouse in the world to be designed and built specifically to use alternating electric current.
Souter Lighthouse was built in 1871 to prevent shipwrecks in the area around Whitburn. It is located around 3 miles south of the mouth of the River Tyne and it's light could be seen up to 26 miles away.
The lighthouse is no longer used for navigational purposes, but is open to the public and owned by the National Trust. The Engine Room, keeper's living quarters and light tower are accessible to the public and there are spectacular views from the top, although the staircase up is very narrow.
The lighthouse is said to be haunted and featured on the TV series 'Most Haunted' in 2002.
There are lovely walks along the coast close to Souter Lighthouse, in the area known as The Leas. The Leas are a series of coastal paths which stretch for around 2 miles along the 250 million year old cliffs. They are a great place for dog walking and bird watching.
Finally, here are some images from the top of the lighthouse, including inside of the light. Thanks to Ashley Lifghtfoot for these interior pictures and the tour guide who gave him permission!
Where To Park For Souter Lighthouse ?
Souter Lighthouse has it's own car park and parking is free for National Trust members.

Can Rabbits Eat Tomatoes?
As a rabbit owner, it is important to ensure that your furry friend is receiving the proper nutrition and care. One aspect of this care is understanding what foods are safe for your rabbit to consume. This includes understanding which fruits and vegetables are safe and nutritious for your rabbit, such as tomatoes.
Rabbits can eat tomatoes, but in moderation. Tomatoes are considered a healthy treat for rabbits, but should not make up a large portion of their diet. The fruit contains vitamins and antioxidants, but also has a high acid content which can upset a rabbit's digestive system if they consume too much.
When feeding your rabbit tomatoes, it is important to remove the stem and leaves as they contain solanine, a toxic substance that can be harmful to rabbits. The flesh of the tomato, however, is safe for your rabbit to consume.
In addition to the flesh of the tomato, you can also feed your rabbit cherry tomatoes as a treat. However, it is important to remember that these small tomatoes still contain a high acid content and should be fed in moderation.
Rabbits have a delicate digestive system, so it is important to only feed them small portions of any new food and monitor their reactions. If you notice any negative reactions or digestive issues after feeding your rabbit tomatoes, it is best to discontinue feeding them this food and consult with your veterinarian.
When introducing any new food to your rabbit's diet, it is always best to do so slowly and in small portions. This will allow you to monitor their reactions and ensure that the food is safe and nutritious for them.
Do Rabbits Like To Eat Tomatoes?
Rabbits may or may not like eating tomatoes, as it varies from rabbit to rabbit. Some rabbits love the taste and texture of tomatoes, while others may not be as fond of them. It is important to remember that just because a rabbit likes to eat a certain food, it doesn't mean it is good for them or should make up a significant part of their diet.
If you are considering introducing tomatoes to your rabbit's diet, it is best to offer them a small piece and observe their reaction. If they seem to enjoy the taste and show no negative side effects, you can continue to offer them as a treat in moderation.
It is important to remember that rabbits have very specific dietary needs and should not rely on treats to meet their nutritional requirements. A well-balanced diet of hay, fresh vegetables, and a limited amount of pellets is the best way to ensure your rabbit stays healthy.
Offering your rabbit a variety of foods can also help prevent boredom and keep their taste buds stimulated. However, it is crucial to always research new foods before offering them to your rabbit, and to do so in moderation.
What Are The Benefits Of Feeding Tomatoes To Rabbits?
Tomatoes offer several benefits to rabbits when fed in moderation. They contain vitamins, such as Vitamin C and potassium, and antioxidants, which can support a rabbit's overall health. Additionally, the moisture content in tomatoes can also help keep your rabbit hydrated.
When feeding your rabbit tomatoes, it is important to keep portions small and not overfeed them. Overfeeding can lead to digestive upset and can also cause a rise in sugar levels, which can lead to health problems for your rabbit.
In addition to their health benefits, feeding your rabbit tomatoes can also be a great way to add variety to their diet and prevent boredom. However, it is important to remember that tomatoes should not make up a significant portion of your rabbit's diet, and should be used as a treat in moderation.
If you are unsure about adding tomatoes to your rabbit's diet or if your rabbit has any health concerns, it is always best to consult with your veterinarian. They can help you determine the best diet for your rabbit based on their individual needs and health.
What Are The Risks Of Feeding Tomatoes To Rabbits?
While feeding tomatoes to rabbits can have some health benefits, it is important to be aware of the potential risks as well. One risk is the presence of solanine, a toxin found in the stems and leaves of tomato plants, which can be harmful to rabbits if ingested in large amounts.
Another risk of feeding tomatoes to rabbits is that they can contribute to digestive upset and diarrhea. This is because tomatoes are high in acid, which can irritate a rabbit's sensitive digestive system if they are not used to eating them.
Additionally, overfeeding tomatoes to your rabbit can lead to an increase in sugar levels, which can lead to health problems, such as obesity and dental issues. It is important to always keep portions small and feed tomatoes as a treat in moderation.
Finally, it is important to be aware that tomatoes are not a necessary part of a rabbit's diet, and they can get all the nutrients they need from a well-balanced diet of hay, fresh vegetables, and a limited amount of pellets. If you have any concerns or questions about feeding tomatoes to your rabbit, it is always best to consult with your veterinarian.
What Kind Of Tomatoes Can Rabbits Eat?
Rabbits can eat any type of tomato, but it is best to stick to ripe, fresh tomatoes as they are less acidic and less likely to cause digestive upset. Avoid feeding your rabbit green or unripe tomatoes, as they contain higher levels of solanine, a toxin found in the stems and leaves of tomato plants.
When feeding tomatoes to your rabbit, it is best to remove the stems and leaves, as they contain the highest concentration of solanine. You can also remove the skin of the tomato, as some rabbits may find it difficult to digest.
Cherry tomatoes, which are smaller in size, can also be a good option for rabbits, as they are less acidic and have a sweeter taste. However, it is still important to feed them in moderation, as overfeeding any type of tomato can lead to digestive upset and an increase in sugar levels.
If you are unsure about which type of tomato to feed your rabbit or if you have any concerns, it is always best to consult with your veterinarian. They can help you determine the best diet for your rabbit based on their individual needs and health.
How Much Tomatoes Can Rabbits Eat?
Tomatoes should only be fed to rabbits in moderation, as they are high in sugar and can lead to digestive upset and weight gain if overfed. A general guideline is to feed no more than 1-2 slices of tomato, or a few cherry tomatoes, per 2 lbs of body weight per day.
It's important to remember that rabbits have delicate digestive systems and too much sugar from any food can disrupt the balance of bacteria in their gut, leading to digestive issues. Therefore, it is best to feed tomatoes as a treat rather than a staple foodIt's alsoHow Often Should Rabbits Eat Tomatoes?
Rabbits should only eat tomatoes as an occasional treat, rather than a staple food. It's recommended to limit their intake to a few slices or cherry tomatoes per week, or no more than 1-2 slices per 2 lbs of body weight per day.
Frequent feeding of high sugar foods like tomatoes can lead to digestive upset and weight gain, as well as potentially altering the balance of bacteria in their gut. This is why it's important to feed them in moderation and only as a treat.
Instead of relying on high sugar treats, it'sWhat To Do When Rabbits Eat Too Much Tomatoes?
If your rabbit has eaten too many tomatoes, it is important to keep a close eye on them and take action if necessary. Eating too much of any food can cause digestive problems for rabbits, including diarrhea and bloating. Additionally, tomatoes contain moderate levels of sugar, which can upset a rabbit's delicate digestive system if they eat too much of it.
If your rabbit begins to show signs of digestive distress, such as diarrhea or bloating, remove the tomatoes from their diet immediately. Offer them plenty of water and hay to help regulate their digestive system. If their symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian as soon as possible.
It is important to monitor the amount of tomatoes your rabbit is eating, as well as any changes in their behavior or health. If you notice any concerning symptoms, don't hesitate to reach out to a veterinarian for guidance. Regular check-ups with a vet can also help you keep track of your rabbit's overall health and well-being.
In general, it is best to limit the amount of tomatoes that your rabbit eats and to introduce new foods slowly and in small quantities. This will help you avoid digestive problems and keep your rabbit healthy and happy.
In conclusion, if your rabbit has eaten too many tomatoes, it is important to monitor them closely and take action if necessary. With the right care, you can help your rabbit stay healthy and happy.
How To Prepare Tomatoes For Rabbits
When feeding tomatoes to rabbits, it's important to prepare them properly. Firstly, you should wash them thoroughly to remove any dirt or pesticides. Secondly, you should remove the stem, leaves, and any green parts, as these are toxic to rabbits. Finally, you should chop the tomatoes into small pieces to make them easier for your rabbit to eat.
It's also important to note that tomatoes should be given to rabbits in moderation and as a treat, not as a main source of food. Feeding your rabbit too much tomato can lead to digestive problems and upset their delicate digestive system.
When feeding tomatoes to your rabbit, it's best to start with a small piece to see how they react. Observe them closely for any signs of digestive upset or discomfort. If they seem fine, you can gradually increase the amount of tomato you give them over time.
Finally, it's important to always provide your rabbit with fresh, clean water in addition to their food. This will help them stay hydrated and avoid any potential digestive problems.
In conclusion, feeding tomatoes to your rabbit can be a fun and healthy treat, as long as it is done in moderation and the tomatoes are properly prepared. Always keep an eye on your rabbit's behavior and take action if you notice any signs of discomfort or digestive upset.
Tips For Feeding Tomatoes To Rabbits
When it comes to feeding your pet rabbit, it's important to make sure you're doing it correctly to ensure their health and well-being. Here are some tips for feeding tomatoes to your rabbit:
Only feed fresh, ripe tomatoes to your rabbit
Give them in moderation, as a treat or snack
Remove the leaves and stems, as they contain solanine which can be toxic to rabbits
Offer them in small pieces to prevent choking
Avoid feeding tomato sauce, paste, or ketchup, as they often contain added sugars and preservatives
By following these tips, you can give your rabbit a tasty and healthy treat while also ensuring their safety. However, it's still important to remember that tomatoes should only be given in moderation and not as a staple in their diet.
Conclusion: Can Rabbits Eat Tomatoes?
In conclusion, feeding tomatoes to rabbits can be a great way to provide them with some extra nutrients and vitamins. However, it is important to note that tomatoes should be given to rabbits in moderation as they are high in acidity and can cause digestive issues if consumed in large quantities.
When feeding tomatoes to your rabbit, it is important to remove the stem, leaves, and seeds, and make sure the fruit is ripe but not overripe. Feeding your rabbit a small amount of chopped tomato once or twice a week should be enough.
If you notice that your rabbit is experiencing any digestive discomfort after consuming tomatoes, it is best to stop feeding them and consult with a veterinarian. Additionally, it is important to remember that tomatoes should not make up a significant portion of your rabbit's diet, as they need a balanced diet of hay, vegetables, and fresh water to remain healthy.
In summary, feeding tomatoes to rabbits can be a fun and nutritious addition to their diet as long as it is done in moderation and with the proper preparation. As with any food, it is always best to consult with a veterinarian before making any significant changes to your rabbit's diet. | eng | 8198190c-9116-4df6-9012-5a6188d2a438 | https://petfoodmentor.com/can-rabbits-eat-tomatoes/ |

The Progression of Education Technology with Professor John R. Turner
John R. Turner is an Assistant Professor at the University of North Texas. As both a researcher and educator, he often applies his research findings to classroom teachings. Surprisingly, he didn't start out as a teacher, as he did not have the desire to teach.
"I began as an engineer. I was employed as one for 15 years before deciding to go back to school," he recalls.
As an engineer, he learned about different technical trades. He looked into what was available for training and technology education, leading him to become involved, as he saw opportunity to make it better.
Today, Turner sees several emerging trends in his industry. In the areas he specifically focuses on, he sees some movements within multiple disciplines.
"One movement is the ability for organizations to become more adaptable," he says. "They need to provide the workforce with the flexibility to self-organize when addressing change and environmental challenges."
Turner sees this movement as having repositioned the decision-making process down the hierarchical chain. More individuals are now included in the overall process, and that's a good thing. Indeed, this process utilizes the functions of teams in the workplace more so than in previous decades.
Another emerging trend is the implementation of team science practices for organizations and in the curriculum. "Becoming the team" is the key focal point in today's organizations. To be successful, organizations need to draw on best practices from team science. And for higher education to prepare future industry leaders, curriculum needs to include team science practices and fundamentals.
To that end, what are some types of technology Turner is using in the classroom? He says it's more common to see network analysis tools being used in research and in the classroom. These tools identify common patterns in large social groups. Also, Turner believes more open source technologies are essentially becoming more available to more people. Therefore, workplaces have to adjust to these new technologies that wouldn't have been available even ten years ago.
Also, get ready to see more and more artificial intelligence (AI) programs and mechanisms available in the short term.
"One brief example of this is in my research involving multi-agents as a team member, whereas AI becomes a team member," he says.
What else should we expect in the future? Data analytics and machine learning will experience exponential growth. Meanwhile, there will be an emphasis on the ethics that come with growing open source technologies.
"Also, more complete theories will be called for, including multi-level theories and team/collaborative theories," he says. "A large emphasis will be placed on identifying patterns compared to just looking into causation. New methodologies will be called for that look at patterns, such as in the case of complexity and big data."
Finally, Professor Turner warns that the field of education technology will soon be introduced to what he calls "wicked problems." These are problems with no known antecedents or solutions, problems that come with ever-increasing globalization | eng | b44cdc09-5d1a-4151-affc-ebcb74894aff | https://marketscale.com/industries/education-technology/progression-education-technology-professor-john-r-turner/ |

Traditional vs Modern Weddings
Traditional vs Modern Weddings
A start of a new relationship, and the celebration usually marks a formal end to the prior marriage.
Throughout the world, there are many different religious perspectives on the definition of "wedding". While some would have their own specific traditions, most religions view weddings as a union of two souls in holy matrimony. Even the Roman Catholic Church defined weddings as an outward symbol of commitment and love between two lovers. This was not always the case, however, as marriage in the Roman Catholic Church was never viewed as an everlasting commitment. In fact, the institution of marriage has been viewed as something that only happens between two married persons who are bound by religious vows of purity and chastity. Marriages were considered to be only for time duration and were not intended to be for long term relationships.
The ancient Egyptians also had very specific views on the meaning of a wedding ceremony. Their religious concepts centered around the idea that a bride was considered to be sacred and dishonored until she was married. The wedding ceremony was a way to honor this process of transition from woman to wife. Ancient Egyptian marriage laws also dictated that a man giving his bride to be only as good as his initial investment in her. The dowry, or payment made to the groom's family, was used as an investment in future property for the bride and groom.
Jewish law mandates the Jewish wedding ceremony as a momentous event in the life of the couple. It is considered a blessed union between two loving people. Traditionally, Jews only get married once, so their wedding ceremony must be a momentous occasion. On that day they take seven days to mourn for the death of their previous marriages. This event is known as the "Mazel Tov" in the Jewish culture. Marriage is considered sacred in the eyes of the Jewish People, which is why the wedding ceremony is one of the most important events in their lives.
Modern wedding traditions are starting to shift away from the more traditional, and towards more modern concepts. With more modern weddings, the concept of the wedding dress is becoming more important than ever before. Most modern weddings will have both a white wedding dress and a wedding veil. A veil can be seen as a more modern choice, because it adds a certain amount of formality to weddings without necessarily being too over the top.
If you're looking for a wedding ceremony that's not traditional, but has the same level of beauty and significance as traditional weddings, consider the Scottish tradition of gallant matrimony. Gallant Matrimony is an outdoor wedding ceremony that takes place on the grounds of a castle or estate. Two people will exchange vows and start a new marital contract by walking beneath a large canopy set up for the occasion. After the canopy is lifted, the wedding ceremony begins, with the two people facing each other across a bridge that crosses the lake from the castle. The ceremony lasts about an hour, during which time they exchange wedding rings and kiss each other. A Scottish wedding might include such things as Scottish song and poetry, handcrafts, a traditional Scottish banquet, the exchanging of wedding rings, as well as the consumption of alcoholic beverages by the newly married couple. | eng | a41cdb50-716b-4b85-9459-057d5415bb8e | https://www427070.com/traditional-vs-modern-weddings/ |
Why are axolotls so resistant to cancer?
Axolotl have displayed extraordinary cancer resistance and in 2011, researchers from the University of Nottingham used an extract from axolotl eggs to stimulate tumor suppressor genes and prevent breast cancer growth. These remarkable creatures are endangered.
Can axolotls get tumors?
It is not uncommon for axolotls to develop tumours. These are usually benign and involve the pigment cells. It is not necessary to remove them unless they cause impediment or are at risk of traumatic injury. Some aquarium products are deemed unsafe in axolotls.
How many times can an axolotl regenerate?
Scientists don't know whether axolotls use the same mechanisms to regenerate their internal organs as their limbs. They also don't know why an axolotl can grow back an arm many times in a row but not indefinitely — after being amputated five times, most axolotl limbs stop coming back.
What organs can axolotls regenerate?
The Mexican axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) is an aquatic salamander that can regenerate multiple body parts including its limbs and internal organs such as its heart, brain, and lungs.
Can axolotls regrow their heart?
The axolotl is a popular model organism in the field of regenerative medicine, due to its ability to regenerate for instance functional heart muscle after injury [1].
How fast can an axolotl regenerate?
Because they never develop lungs, and instead keep their gills, axolotls are permanent under-water residents. Even more amazing, axolotls can regenerate limbs and organs perfectly, without any scarring. They can do this as many times as necessary in as little as three weeks.
How long do Axolotls live for?
Axolotls require an aquatic environment with very specific temperature, water quality and husbandry requirements. Axolotls can live for up to 10 years of age if cared for correctly. Axolotls should be kept in an aquatic environment. They require the water temperature to be maintained between 14 and 19°C.
What's wrong with my Axolotl?
The easiest way to tell if an axolotl is sick is by noting changes in its eating habits. If the animal is stressed because of infection or wa- ter quality, it will probably stop eating or re- duce the quantity it consumes before other symptoms become obvious.
Can an axolotl regrow its body?
The axolotl (say "ax-oh-lot-el") is a Mexican species of salamander. It's also known as a Mexican walking fish. It can regenerate, repair or replace its arms, legs, tail, lower jaw, brain and heart.
What animal can grow its head back?
Worms. Researchers around the world are fascinated by the impressive regeneration ability of flatworms. The majority of planarians are able to grow back all kinds of body parts, including their heads, using stem cells.
Can axolotls regrow their tail?
Axolotl. A relative of the salamander but even more skilled at regenerating is the axolotl. This animal can regenerate not just its tail but also limbs, skin and almost any other body part. Researchers found that each time a limb was removed, it regrew almost perfectly.
Do axolotls have genders?
Axolotls have genetic sex-determination – a locus on an axolotl chromosome determines whether an axolotl is male or female. In salamanders, the sex determining mechanism is referred to as ZZ/ZW and the heterogametic sex is female.
How do axolotls regrow limbs?
Like other salamanders, axolotls have the ability to completely regenerate an entire limb when lost. … Smith says that the axolotl's regeneration capabilities involve the use of stem cells, as well as an unknown method of causing cells at the site of the injury to revert to stem | eng | 8dcd0181-32d2-4a0a-9db9-5f2118b6689b | https://hospiceofqueenannes.com/cytologist/are-axolotls-immune-to-cancer.html |
The FDCPA: What It Is and Why It's Important even contacting friends and family members (or anyone connected) to the person in debt.
Before the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), creditors, debt collectors and their henchmen could do virtually anything to apply pressure and recover money. They could threaten to put people in jail, call them repeatedly at any hour, blow up their mailbox with obscene threatening letters and even falsify information on their credit reports.
The FDCPA Made Life Easier for People in Debt
In 1978, the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) was put into effect. The FDCPA made life easier for thousands of Americans, and ensured they would never face abuse or harassment from creditors and debt collectors again. Not only were Americans in debt saved from abusive calls in the middle of the night and threats of jail time, but now they could access their comprehensive credit report information and dispute errors more easily.
The FDCPA also acts as an amendment to the Consumer Credit Protection Act, allowing for legal protection against abuse and harassment by debt collectors and their employees. After the FDCPA was put forth in 1978, thousands of Americans saw a better quality of life almost immediately.
Debt Collectors Were Forced to Change How They Work
With the FDCPA now in effect, debt collectors were met with strict rules and guidelines that they were forced to adapt. They could no longer resort to obscene harassment, abuse or threats in order to collect debt. Debt collectors were forced to abide by the strict rules of the FDCPA or face penalties and consequences.
At this point, debt collectors were forced to use normal and civil methods of collecting debt. Their behavior was closely monitored and the words they used watched carefully. The American public were informed of their rights, and knew when the FDCPA was violated. Of course, in the years after the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act was put into effect, many debt collectors and their employees faced lawsuits for wrongful behavior.
A Brief Outline of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act
According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, a debt collector is defined as:
"Any
Today, you can halt any harassment by debt collectors by simply writing a letter to them—or to a creditor—and telling them that you want them to stop contacting you. It's as simple as that. At that point, they can only contact you to either tell you they won't be contacting you anymore, or that they are filing a lawsuit against you.
The guidelines of the Federal Trade Commission clearly state that debt collectors cannot use annoying or harassing tactics to collect debt, including the following:
Abuse or harass debtors (or third parties)
Publish debtor's names, or their debt information
Use obscene language when contacting debtors
Make calls repeatedly
Make false statements or represent themselves as other individuals (such as attorneys or police)
Skew the amount owed
Give false information about debts owed
Try collecting extra fees
Your Rights Under the FDCPA
While debt collectors and creditors do have the right to sue you for unpaid debts, you also have every right to file a lawsuit against them if they violated any rules of the FDCPA. However, be aware that you have one year to sue them for the violation, as there's a statute of limitations with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.
We highly suggest you utilize your rights if you ever feel that you are being harassed, abused or contacted inappropriately by a debt collector or their employees. The FDCPA clearly states what is and isn't legal, and if you notice a violation on behalf of the debt collector, contact an attorney who specializes in consumer rights.

Frozen Yogurt Popsicles
My son is an active 4-H member and takes a cooking project each year. This year he completed "Fast Break for Breakfast" and made this recipe to share with his completed book for project judging. He has learned that yogurt has protein and calcium while the fruit have other vitamins and minerals that are important for our bodies. Fruit and Honey Frozen Yogurt Popsicles are a healthy breakfast or snack that is fun and delicious!
I like that he takes cooking projects in 4-H because there are several activities around eating healthy and living a healthy lifestyle. The main idea in this year's project is the importance of eating a breakfast that is nutrient-dense. These are principles that I believe need to be reinforced multiple times throughout childhood, so I do all that I can to support his work.
As we brainstormed unique ideas for breakfast food he kept coming back to this popsicle recipe that my mom had torn out a newspaper years ago. We tested it in ice cube trays and popsicle holders. Our two year old prefers the ice cube tray sized pieces and she still has big smiles while eating "popsicles". Our eleven year old prefers holding a popsicle stick, but different types can be easier than others to remove from the mold. Moral of the story is don't test a new popsicle holder for the first time at judging because it may not release to set on the judge's plate at the right moment.
Can You Freeze Greek Yogurt and Eat it Like Ice Cream?
We've found that adding milk, honey, and small pieces of fresh fruit tastes better and is easier to eat than freezing straight Greek Yogurt.
Be aware that chunks of fruit in the popsicle take longer to thaw than frozen yogurt. Some of us enjoy having a little more crunch while the toddler might rather have the mixture run through the blender and pureed before freezing.
How to Make Fresh Fruit Frozen Yogurt
Stir together yogurt, milk, honey and vanilla extract.
Taste the mixture and add a little more honey if needed.
Divide half the fruit among 8 to 10 1/2 cup popsicle holders.
Add 1/4 cup of yogurt mixture to each popsicle, then add remaining fruit.
Freeze the popsicles for several hours, until completely solid.
Tips for Making Frozen Yogurt Popsicles
Dense fruit like strawberries takes longer to unthaw than less dense fruit like blueberries or the yogurt
Chop dense fruit finely to make the yogurt popsicles as easy to eat as possible
The mixture can be frozen in ice cube trays, small paper cups or popsicle holders
Some of us enjoy eating as a popsicle and some of our family prefer a slushie like consistency when eating
Use any combination of fruit that you enjoy
I like using vanilla Greek yogurt, but my son prefers plain regular yogurt | eng | 1bbb0650-a247-4b1c-bbd0-9c64c38ce28a | https://plowingthroughlife.com/fruit-and-honey-frozen-yogurt-popsicles/ |
currently working on a fresh comparison of the Windows vs. Linux performance for Intel's Alder Lake hybrid processors due to a number of readers inquiring how the OS support has evolved. In the process of carrying out those tests I also ran some fresh Windows vs. Linux tests with the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT for how the OpenGL and Vulkan driver performance stands...CommentLikes4

Windows 11 Dev currently has an AMD graphics driver with notably improved OpenGL performance. As far as I know, this driver isn't released anywhere else (it's not in any of the 22.5.2 drivers or 22.6.2, and it's very likely WU is delivering something much older), and it has to come from a Dev build, or
The latest AMD driver on Windows that has the OpenGL changes is 31.0.12001.2008
CommentComment
I don't get the point of AMDVLK. It's not like AMD ever worked on upstreaming it to Mesa.
I imagine it exists for cases that need stability and expected version numbers/changes.
Basically, I couldn't tell you at all what actually changed with RADV when my distro ships an updated Mesa package, and I have to dig through commit numbers across different sites if I want to try to figure it out. But AMDVLK explains the changes nicely with a release version:
Doesn't AMDVLK also use LLVM? That seems like a better choice for general applications, vs ACO's gaming focus. I don't know how different either are nowadays, but I heard ACO wasn't passing some tests that LLVM did. Although I'm not sure if there's a difference between AMDVLK and RADV when forced to LLVM instead?Well, that was illuminating. So there was some truth about everything:
- AMD's old driver did performed better if your app follow OpenGL specs, but was still very buggy and basically hopeless;
- Nvidia's driver was more lenient with bad game code so it worked well for all game developers, although it wasn't perfect by any means. And their (Nvidia) developers would do what they could to sabotage the competition, if let loose with a developers game code, while AMD's where more neutral.
Comment
It'd be interesting, as a qualitative measure, to look at "maximum number of dropped frames in a second at 60/120/144Hz vsync" rather than just minimum framerate. Sometimes a game will have one or two really long frames at a point that doesn't matter; but otherwise will be GPU bound or GPU driver bound.
I think something like this would give a better comparison, since it can tell you that a game is choppy, or roughly perfect, at a given display refresh rate. Obviously it makes it hard to compare very similar GPUs, but you could collate the similarities in the comparison and say "all these titles at these settings work great at 144Hz, now here's where they differ". I think this would also be a good tool for prioritizing work on the driver: "did I experience choppiness in any title?" is the more meaningful measure of driver quality vs "did most titles run really really 'fast'?". | eng | aa664090-b938-4058-ad8e-ab64789a5c7f | https://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/linux-graphics-x-org-drivers/open-source-amd-linux/1332660-radv-remains-competitive-to-amd-s-radeon-vulkan-windows-driver-linux-opengl-dominates |
When the firefighters arrived, LaCivita said they heard the 5-week-old male kitten making faint noises from inside the storm drain.
Since the kitten was discovered just after midnight, the firefighters decided to wait until daylight to rescue the kitten, according to the fire chief.
But LaCivita said the firefighters didn't want to leave him stranded overnight, and decided to carefully lower a small crate with food and water into the storm drain.
The firefighters returned to the storm drain hours later and could still hear the kitten's cries for help. LaCivita said one firefighter climbed into the 8-foot-deep storm drain and brought the kitten to safety.
The black and white tuxedo kitten, which has since been named "Storm," personally thanked the firefighters who saved his life during their reunion.
Storm is currently being cared for by Raynham Animal Control, and a number of potential adopters are being considered.

Tisha B'Av
The Three Weeks is an annual mourning period that falls out in the summer. This is when we mourn the destruction of the Holy Temple and our launch into a still-ongoing exile. With an eye to the future, we also learn about the Third Temple, which is yet to be built.
Tisha B'Av, the 9th day of the month of Av (August 6-7), is the saddest day on the Jewish calendar, on which we fast, deprive ourselves and pray. It is the culmination of the Three Weeks, a period of time during which we mark the destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.
Because the 9th of Av falls on a Shabbos the fast is pushed off to Saturday night and Sunday.
The Fast Begins on Shabbat Night, August 6, 2022 at 8:01 pm
The Fast Ends nightfall of Sunday, August 7, 2022 at 8:36 pm
Until midday, we sit on the floor or on low stools. We also abstain from studying Torah—besides those parts that discuss the destruction of the Temple.
On the eve of Tisha b'Av, we gather in the synagogue to read the Book of Lamentations. Tallit and tefillin are not worn during the morning prayers. After the morning prayers we recite Kinot (elegies). We don the tallit and tefillin for the afternoon prayers.
THIS YEAR:
Tisha B'Av That Falls on Shabbat or Sunday
The following rules apply to any year on which Tisha B'Av is observed on Sunday—whether it originally fell on Sunday, or whether it fell on Shabbat and the fast was postponed until Saturday night.
On Shabbat, all public displays of mourning are strictly prohibited. On this day we eat, drink and rejoice as is customary—and even more so.
There are two exceptions: On this day we eat, drink and rejoice as is customary—and even more so(a) If Shabbat is actually the 9th of Av, then marital relations are forbidden in Ashkenazi tradition.1 (b) In all cases when Tisha B'Av is observed on Sunday, it is forbidden to study Torah starting with Shabbat midday (aside for those sections of Torah which are permitted to be studied on Tisha B'Av). As such, on this Shabbat we do not recite a chapter of Ethics of the Fathers, as is the custom in many communities on summertime Shabbat afternoons.
No mournful "separation meal" is conducted before the fast. Instead, shortly before sunset we partake of a sumptuous and joyous pre-fast meal. Care must be taken, however, that this meal ends before sunset.
We sit on chairs of regular height and wear normal footwear until nightfall. Only washing, eating and drinking are prohibited starting with sunset.
Havdalah is recited on Sunday night.2 In the evening prayers, the usual Shabbat night insertion, "Atah Chonantanu," is included. The prayer "Vihi Noam" is omitted. Those who have not recited the evening prayers should say, before doing any activity that is forbidden on Shabbat, "Baruch hamavdil bein kodesh l'chol" ("Blessed is He who separates between the holy [day of Shabbat] and the mundane [weekday]").
Sometime on Saturday night (ideally right before the reading of Eicha), kindle the havdalah candle and recite the appropriate blessing. (We do not recite the blessing of the spices.)
Recite the havdalah on Sunday night before eating. We sit on chairs of regular height and wear normal footwear until nightfall—omitting the blessings on the spices and candle. When 9 Av is on Sunday, if possible, the havdalah wine or grape juice should be given to a child—younger than bar/bat mitzvah age—to drink.
If the ninth of Av falls on Shabbat, in which case the fast is delayed until the tenth, many of the restrictions applicable to the Nine Days end when the fast ends, and havdalah wine, music, bathing and haircutting are permitted. We do not eat meat or drink other wine until the next morning, however.
This is because abstaining from relations does not constitute a public display of mourning. However, on this Shabbat only actual marital relations are banned (as opposed to Tisha B'Av itself, when all forms of intimacy are forbidden). This prohibition does not apply if Friday night is mikvah night. | eng | 8fd87d56-d5ab-41f4-acf7-6fce85668c73 | https://www.chabaduppereastside.com/templates/articlecco_cdo/aid/5189544/jewish/Tisha-BAv.htm |

Adopting a strategic approach to workflow documentation can transform chaos into clarity and streamline your operations for maximum efficiency. However, documenting workflows can be a daunting task, especially for small businesses, project managers, and team leaders.
That's where we come in.
In this article, we'll provide more detail into what workflow documentation is, and discuss the benefits and strategies to achieve greater productivity and success. According to a recent survey, organizations that document their workflows are twice as likely to rate their business outcomes as excellent or above average compared to those that don't document their workflows.
With this in mind, let's dive in and discover how you can transform chaos into clarity and achieve maximum efficiency for your organization.
What is a Workflow?
A workflow is a series of tasks or activities that are performed to achieve a specific outcome or goal. It can be thought of as a roadmap that outlines the steps necessary to complete a process or project. Workflows can be found in a variety of settings, from healthcare to manufacturing to scientific research, and are an essential aspect of any organization's operations.
A workflow typically involves multiple steps, each of which is designed to move a project or process forward toward completion. These steps may be sequential or parallel and may involve multiple individuals or teams. Workflows may be automated using software or performed manually.
While a standard operating procedure (SOP) describes the step-by-step process for completing a specific task or operation, a workflow defines the sequence of tasks or activities required to complete a specific process or project. Process documentation is a related concept that focuses on capturing the specific steps, inputs, and outputs of a process in detail.
Process documentation is critical to effective workflow documentation, as it provides a more granular understanding of the individual steps involved in a workflow. By documenting each step of a process and assigning responsibilities to specific individuals or teams, organizations can gain a more detailed understanding of how their workflows operate and identify areas for improvement.
Workflows and process documentation are often used together to improve efficiency, reduce errors, and ensure that tasks are completed in a timely and consistent manner. By breaking down a complex process into individual steps and assigning responsibilities to specific individuals or teams, workflows can help to ensure that tasks are completed in the correct order and that everyone involved in the process is aware of what is expected of them.
In short, workflows and documenting the process is beneficial to your organization. By breaking down a complex process into individual steps and assigning responsibilities to specific individuals or teams, workflow documentation can help to ensure that tasks are completed in the correct order and that everyone involved in the process is aware of what is expected of them.
What is Workflow Documentation?
Workflow documentation is the process of capturing, organizing, and standardizing the steps involved in a workflow. It involves creating a record of the tasks and activities that are performed in a workflow, documenting who is responsible for each task, and outlining the expected timeline for completion. Workflow documentation provides a clear understanding of procedures and expectations, allowing for quality control measures to be put in place to ensure that products and services meet or exceed standards.
Adopting a strategic approach to workflow documentation can transform chaos into clarity and streamline your operations for maximum efficiency.
Why Documenting Workflows is Critical to Organizational Success
Every organization, regardless of size or industry, relies on consistent and efficient processes to achieve its goals. But how do you ensure that everyone is on the same page, following the same steps, and delivering high-quality outcomes?
This is where workflow documentation comes in.
By providing clear and standardized procedures and guidelines, workflow documentation can help organizations operate more efficiently, reduce errors, and comply with regulatory requirements.
Let's go into a bit more detail as to why documenting workflows is essential:
Standardization: Documenting workflows ensures that processes are consistent, repeatable, and can be followed easily, leading to more efficient operations and improved outcomes.
Quality Assurance: Additionally, documenting workflows provides a clear understanding of procedures and expectations, allowing for quality control measures to be put in place to ensure that products and services meet or exceed standards.
Compliance: Similarly, documenting workflows enables organizations to adhere to regulatory requirements by providing a clear record of processes and procedures that can be audited and verified.
Workflow documentation can provide many benefits to organizations, including:
Improved efficiency: By standardizing workflows and reducing the risk of errors, organizations can operate more efficiently (this report shows that up to 50% of task time can be saved through documentation), completing tasks faster and with fewer resources.
Increased productivity: By providing clear procedures and guidelines, workflow documentation can help employees complete tasks more quickly and accurately, increasing productivity and reducing the need for rework (the same Salesforce study shows up to 26% faster operations due to process automation).
Better collaboration: Workflow documentation can help employees work together more effectively, ensuring that everyone is on the same page and reducing the risk of misunderstandings or miscommunications. This Zapier report shows that 34% of employees say automating tasks like data entry reduces errors.
Improved customer service: By providing employees with the information they need to resolve customer issues quickly and efficiently, workflow documentation can improve customer service and satisfaction. Figures from the 2021 state of business automation report show that 35% of employees say that using automation allows them to provide better customer service and support.
Easier training and onboarding: New employees can learn procedures and processes more quickly and efficiently when they have access to clear and comprehensive workflow documentation.
Steps for Documenting a Workflow
Developing a workflow documentation strategy is essential for any organization that wants to streamline its operations, improve efficiency, and reduce errors. To develop an effective workflow documentation strategy, it's essential to involve employees who are knowledgeable about the process and can provide valuable input.
A workflow documentation strategy involves developing a plan for documenting workflows, including identifying the scope, defining the process steps, creating documentation templates, and determining the roles and responsibilities of team members involved.
Let's take a look at each step.
Define the workflow scope and objectives: Before starting the documentation process, define the scope and objectives of the workflow. This includes identifying the inputs, outputs, and stakeholders involved in the process. This step ensures that you have a clear understanding of what the workflow entails and what you hope to achieve by documenting it.
Identify the steps in the workflow: Break down the workflow into individual steps, starting with the initial inputs and ending with the final outputs. Be sure to include any decision points or branching paths in the process. This step ensures that you have a clear understanding of the sequence of tasks involved in the workflow.
Document each step: For each step in the workflow, document the following information:
The name or description of the task
The person or team responsible for performing the task
The expected outcome or output of the task
Any resources or materials required to perform the task
The timeline or deadline for completing the task
Create a workflow diagram and include visuals: Process mapping makes it easy to break down complex processes. Visual aids, such as diagrams or flowcharts, can help to illustrate the workflow and make it easier to understand. Use visuals to show the flow of tasks and any decision points in the process.
Review and revise: Once the documentation is complete, review it for accuracy and completeness. Make revisions as needed to ensure that the workflow is accurately documented and easy to understand.
Determine performance metrics and test the workflow: Before finalizing the documentation, test the workflow to ensure that it works as intended. This may involve performing a trial run of the process or soliciting feedback from employees who will be performing the tasks
Review and update as needed: It's essential to establish a regular review and update schedule for workflow documentation. Workflows can change over time due to various factors, and regular updates ensure that the documentation remains current and accurate.
Develop the training and documentation plan: Finally, developing a training and documentation plan is crucial to ensure that everyone involved in the workflow understands how it works and is trained on the necessary procedures and processes. This will help ensure that the workflow operates smoothly and efficiently.
Common Mistakes to Avoid in Workflow Documentation
Unfortunately, there are several common mistakes that organizations make when documenting their workflows, which can lead to confusion, wasted time, and even lost revenue. In this section, we'll explore the most important mistakes to avoid in workflow documentation, so you can get it right the first time and enjoy the benefits of streamlined processes and improved outcomes
Not involving all team members in the process: When documenting a workflow, it's important to involve everyone who will be affected by the process. This includes employees who will be performing the tasks, managers who will be overseeing the process, and other stakeholders who may be impacted by the workflow.
By involving all of these parties, you can ensure that the workflow is accurately documented and that everyone understands their role in the process.
Lack of clarity in process steps: It's important to use clear and concise language when documenting a workflow. Avoid using jargon or technical terms that may be unfamiliar to the reader. Instead, use language that is easy to understand and clearly explains each step of the process.
Failing to prioritize workflows: In a busy organization, it's easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer number of workflows that need to be documented. Failing to prioritize workflows can lead to incomplete or inaccurate documentation for critical processes. It's important to identify which workflows are most important and focus on documenting those first.
Focusing on tasks, not outcomes: Workflows are designed to achieve specific outcomes, not just complete tasks.When documenting a workflow, it's important to focus on the desired outcome and ensure that each step of the process is aligned with that outcome. This will help to ensure that the workflow is effective in achieving the desired result.
Not testing the workflow: Before finalizing workflow documentation, it's important to test the process to ensure that it works as intended.This may involve performing a trial run of the workflow or soliciting feedback from employees who will be performing the tasks. Testing the workflow can help to identify potential issues and ensure that the process is optimized for efficiency and effectiveness.
Failing to update documentation: Workflows can change over time as processes evolve or new technology is introduced. It's important to revisit workflow documentation regularly and make updates as needed to ensure that the documentation accurately reflects the current process.
Streamlining Workflow Documentation With Automation
Workflow automation is the process of automating repetitive or manual tasks within a workflow using software tools. It can help to streamline processes, reduce errors, and improve productivity by automating tasks that would otherwise require significant time and effort.
While workflow documentation provides a clear and standardized procedure for completing tasks and processes, automation takes it a step further by automating those procedures. By implementing workflow automation, you can reduce the amount of time and effort required to complete tasks, reduce the risk of errors, and improve overall efficiency.
There are several ways in which workflow automation can be implemented, depending on the specific needs and requirements of your organization. Here are a few common examples:
Automating data entry. Manual data entry is often a time-consuming and error-prone task. By automating data entry using tools such as optical character recognition (OCR) or robotic process automation (RPA), organizations can significantly reduce the amount of time and effort required to input data.
Automating notifications and alerts. In many workflows, notifications and alerts are sent to individuals or teams to inform them of upcoming tasks or to alert them to potential issues. By automating these notifications and alerts, organizations can ensure that everyone is informed and up-to-date without the need for manual intervention.
Automating task assignment and tracking. Assigning tasks and tracking progress manually can be a significant challenge, especially in large organizations. By automating task assignment and tracking using tools such as project management software or workflow management software, organizations can ensure that tasks are assigned to the right people and that progress is tracked in real-time.
Automating workflows end-to-end. In some cases, entire workflows can be automated end-to-end using workflow automation software. These tools allow organizations to automate complex workflows by defining rules, triggers, and actions to be taken at each step of the process. This can significantly reduce the amount of time and effort required to complete tasks and ensure that processes are completed consistently and accurately.
Workflow automation is not a one-size-fits-all solution, and it's essential to assess your organization's specific needs and requirements before implementing any automation tools. However, when implemented correctly, workflow automation can help to streamline processes, reduce errors, and improve overall efficiency.
It's important to note that automation does not replace the need for workflow documentation. Instead, it complements it by automating the documented procedures and making them more efficient. Therefore, it's crucial to have clear and well-documented workflows before implementing automation.
Knowledge base software is a tool that can be used to manage and share knowledge within an organization. It can be used to store and organize workflow documentation, as well as other types of knowledge, such as policies, procedures, and best practices. By providing a centralized location for knowledge, knowledge base software can improve collaboration, reduce duplication of effort, and increase productivity.
Centralized storage of knowledge. Knowledge base software provides a centralized location for all organizational knowledge, including workflow documentation, making it easier for employees to find the information they need.
Improved collaboration. Knowledge base software allows for easy collaboration between team members, enabling them to share information and work together more effectively.
Easy access to knowledge. With knowledge base software, employees can access workflow documentation and other organizational knowledge from anywhere, at any time, making it easier to complete tasks and make informed decisions.
Improved decision-making. Access to accurate and up-to-date workflow documentation and other knowledge can help employees make better decisions, leading to improved outcomes and increased productivity.
Better training and onboarding. Knowledge base software can be used to store and organize training materials, making it easier to onboard new employees and ensure that they are trained on the necessary procedures and processes.
When we first started our company, we had a lot of information and knowledge scattered across different teams and individuals. As we grew, it became increasingly difficult to keep track of everything and ensure that everyone had access to the information they needed. This led to a lot of internal support calls and emails, which were distracting and time-consuming for everyone involved.
We knew we needed a solution that would allow us to centralize all of our information and create a single point of truth for our procedures and workflows. After considering several options, we decided to implement a knowledge base using Helpjuice.
The impact was almost immediate. We saw a significant reduction in internal support calls and emails, from around 100 a day to just 30. This gave our team members more time to focus on their actual jobs, which in turn improved productivity and efficiency.
We also found that our new employees were able to onboard much faster, thanks to the knowledge base. With all the information they needed in one place, they were able to learn quickly and get up to speed on their tasks much faster than before.
Overall, Helpjuice has been an essential tool for our company's success. We now have a centralized repository of information that is accessible to everyone in the company, and we can be sure that our procedures and workflows are documented accurately and consistently.

Turner: The Extraordinary Life and Momentous Times of J.M.W. Turner - Franny Moyle
Seemingly ahead of his time, J.M.W. Turner (1775 -1851) was in fact very much of his times—times that, like the painter, kept leaping ahead via feats of imagination and technology. In Turner (Penguin Press, $35), her exhaustive biography of the prodigious British artist, Franny Moyle, whose previous subjects include Constance Wilde and the Pre-Raphaelites, traces the evolution of art and its marketing in the Georgian and Victorian eras from the traditional patronage system to the rise of auctions, galleries, and the independent artist. Turner was very much a model of the latter; proficient in drawings, watercolors, engravings, and oils, he had something to please everyone. His ambition matched his talent, and he was fiercely competitive, lobbying to be admitted to the Royal Academy when he was barely twenty (he was elected at age twenty-six) and identifying the strong points in rivals—then beating them at their own game. While Turner richly fulfilled the British appetite for scenes affirming the country's "sense of power, solidity, continuity, and heritage," he depicted Waterloo not as a national triumph, but as the epic slaughter of 40,000 killed in nine hours. Later, though demand for his realistic landscapes—product of an "encyclopedic" vision and compulsive sketching—remained high, Turner redirected his energies from the accurate depiction of a subject to the artist's response to what he painted. He applied watercolor techniques to oils, exploring new ideas of truth in art. Critics weren't ready, finding these works too vague, too bright, and too unfinished. But Turner, defended by the young John Ruskin, pressed on. | eng | 88758b64-770b-43f1-a74a-97bc656e56cc | https://www.politics-prose.com/staff-pick/turner-extraordinary-life-and-momentous-times-of-jmw-turner-franny-moyle |

main property of a permanent magnet is the presence of directed motion to the effect of the forces of gravity, in relation to any other pole of the magnet core (main pole permanent magnet magnetized iron main pole permanent magnet). A series connection of opposite poles get a chain of motion in two directions (Fig. 1), which has limited the length of the corresponding mechanism Magnetic self-motion. The chain length without distributes power as follows: beginning chain - the mechanism of magnetic self-motion, the center of the chain - draws each of the main poles, the end of the chain - the continuation of the magnetic self-motion.
Chain with a magnetic self-movement and the main pole of the permanent magnet can perform actions (directional movement) overcoming resistance to the main poles (repulsion or attraction). If, in addition to apply basic insulation of the poles of the magnetic circuit and a multi-sequence isolation magnetic circuits, where each magnetic circuit and the main magnetic pole plate will do the work in its stand-alone level - suggests the possibility of creating technology of circular rotation, based on magnetic self-propulsion or directional effect of repulsion.
Other variants are possible: the iron cores of the electromagnets to magnetize the main poles of a permanent magnet set in a circle semicircle (not a complete circle) and at different levels to complete the circle. Where each half-ring in a certain sequence will interact with the magnetic circuit of self-motion, for a circular rotation. In countering the effect of magnetized iron repulsion is negligible.
Interaction with the electric shock.
In the center of the copper coil insert the iron core, the coil is connected to a power source - after the saturation of iron cores are working on the core center of the chain with a magnetic self-movement - there is no interaction (With AC there is vibration). To obtain the effect of the magnetic self-motion, on the opposite side of the magnetic circuit, the iron core, attach the main pole permanent magnet. Coil connected to a power source, working on the core center of the chain with a magnetic self-movement - emerged the interaction between the iron core, magnetized main pole permanent magnet and a magnetic circuit with self-movement (the magnetization of the iron core basic pole permanent magnet currents in the coil increases all magnetic effects, while direction of current in the coil is not important). The magnetic self-propulsion is capable of producing work movement in two directions, interacting with the iron-core electromagnet, magnetized main pole permanent magnet, and the current in the coil of the electromagnet increases the effect of the magnetic self-motion.
The origin and receiving an electric current.
In the center of the copper coil insert sharp iron core. Touching the tip of the core center of the neutral zone (the magnetic self-motion) magnetic cube bipolar magnet, and having made a reciprocating motion with no air gap, about 1 / 10 of the square of the magnetic self-propulsion - an electric current. The same actions committed by the main pole - current there is negligible. In the center of the copper coil insert an iron core. And the magnetic cube, for comparison (at constant current of iron with a fixed air gap) in turn are working the main pole of the permanent magnet and the magnetic self-movement. We obtain almost the same voltage, although there is talk a little higher and straighter with magnetic self-motion, with markedly reduced the attraction between magnetic self-movement, and iron. For comparison of the current center of the copper coil should look at the circuit and the magnetic self-movement or to the main pole of a permanent magnet, the movement of produce across the center of a copper coil. For comparison of electric current to the copper coil with an iron core set rotating circular platform with an electric drive, and in turn compare the effects of the main magnetic pole and the self-motion, setting the magnetic cube on the platform with a fixed air gap between the magnet and the iron core copper katushki.U magnetic self-propulsion-bit higher voltage, slightly below the current. In theory: The above properties indicate the effect on the ability to create engine-generator, where it has obtained the current increase of the magnetic effect of self-propulsion.
Teslaalset Your competence in these things is greatly appreciated!! There are so many Tongues [dialects] in eastern Europe,I always seem to choose one[translation] that just doesn't get it right. Thank you Chet
The main property of the neutral zone is the presence of a permanent magnet directed driving force (the magnetic self-motion ) with a pronounced attraction towards any main pole of the other magnet (main pole permanent magnet magnetized iron main pole permanent magnet). Series connection of opposite poles get chain movement in two directions, having a limited length , corresponding to a magnetic mechanism self motion.
Chain lengths not limited distributes magnetic properties as follows: at the beginning and at the end of the magnetic circuit self-propulsion mechanism, the center of a chain - attraction.
Multilevel sequential circuits with self-movement of the magnetic poles and the main permanent magnet can perform actions (directional movement) overcoming resistance effect of repulsion and attraction major poles.
Interaction with a magnetized iron.
If you set the washer on the magnetic circular convex freely rotating platform on the edge of the main pole magnetic disk at a minimum distance from each other semicircle magnetize iron bars. Then when exposed to a magnetic circuit semicircle self-movement - get driving directions (rotation) from beginning to end semicircles.
Interaction with electric.
In the center of the copper coil insert an iron core coil is connected to a power source, working on the core center of the magnetic circuit with self-movement - no directional movement. To obtain the effect of the magnetic self-motion from the opposite sides of the magnetic circuit , the iron core , attach the main pole of the permanent magnet core working on a chain with a magnetic self-movement - directional movement arose . Increase the air gap between the magnetic circuit and the self-movement of the iron core copper coil of termination to the interaction of directional movement , the coil is connected to a power source - appeared directed interaction between the iron core magnetized main pole permanent magnet and a magnetic circuit with self-movement (when magnetizing the iron core of the main pole of the permanent magnet current in the coil of the electromagnet increases the pulling force of the magnetic self-motion , and the direction of the current in the coil is not important). Magnetic self-movement work is capable of producing directional traction movement, interacting with an iron core electromagnet pole magnetized main permanent magnet while the current in the coil of the electromagnet increases the pulling force of the magnetic self-motion.
Occurrence and receiving electric current.
In the center of the copper coil insert sharp iron core . Touching the tip of the core center of the neutral zone (the magnetic self-motion ) bipolar magnetic cube magnet and reciprocating motion without an air gap of about 1/10 of the area of the magnetic self-motion - an electric current . The same actions committed with the main pole permanent magnet - current arises negligible. When approaching and removing the main pole of the permanent magnet to the iron core copper coil - an electric current . The same actions committed by the magnetic self-movement - current arises negligible. In the center of the copper coil insert the iron core and the plane of the magnetic cubes with magnetic self-movement perpendicular to the fixed iron core with an air gap commit linear motion with the approach and removing the magnetic cubes . ( Let's consider the picture of the current at constant iron) . Get - mechanical approach and removal of the main poles of opposite currents in one direction , in the plane of the magnetic self-movement - current of opposite direction . ( The same actions without the iron core - picture of the physical properties of a magnet is the same) . For comparison of electrical current to the copper coil with iron core rotating circular platform install electric and alternatively compare the impact of the main pole and the magnetic self-motion , setting the magnetic cube on the platform with a fixed air gap between the magnet and the iron core copper coil . In the magnetic self-motion slightly higher voltage slightly lower current. These magnetic properties of self-movement point to the possibility of creating an engine - generator , where the resulting current consumption will increase traction effect of the magnetic self-motion.
For example: Magnetize the iron cores of the electromagnets main pole permanent magnet establish a semicircle around the circumference ( unfinished circle) and different levels of other semicircles complete circle ( on the basis of the stator ), where each half ring in sequence will interact with the magnetic circuit of self-movement - in multi-level sequence of construction magnetic circuits ( on the basis of the rotor ) to obtain a circular rotation , rotation of the electric current , amplifying the pulling force of the magnetic self-motion. When you remove the magnetic circuit of the semicircles arise attraction effect . To reduce the effect of gravity is needed to counter - lowering measures in the case of the interaction of the generator and chemical current source - collector apply . | eng | 1e2f4c11-68b0-463e-97fb-b07adf505598 | https://overunity.com/11735/doeddegd3d12dnd12d34du-dddegd14d34dd2ddpdud12ddu/ |
Is Hysterical Pregnancy a Real Thing?
A hysterical pregnancy, also known as a false pregnancy, phantom pregnancy or pseudocyesis, happens when a woman believes she is pregnant and experiences the symptoms of pregnancy without carrying a baby.
Although the condition means you are not pregnant, the physical and psychological symptoms are very real, and it's estimated that between one and six cases occur in every 22,000 births.
Let's explore the common symptoms of hysterical pregnancy, how to get accurately tested and the possible underlying causes behind this condition.
What are the symptoms of hysterical pregnancy?
The physical symptoms of hysterical pregnancy are sometimes intense enough to not only fool an individual but other people as well. A woman may wholeheartedly believe she is pregnant and experience symptoms which include but are not limited to:
Missed periods
Weight gain
A growing abdomen
Morning sickness
Urinary frequency
Breast changes, such as pigmentation, lactation and enlargement
Enlarged uterus
Cervical softening
Are there tests to determine a hysterical pregnancy?
The tests to determine a hysterical or false pregnancy are the same ones used to find out about a regular pregnancy. The doctor examines your physical symptoms, takes ultrasounds of the abdomen and requests urine and blood tests.
The ultrasound will reveal that there's no baby growing in your belly, but further tests may be required to find out if another medical condition could explain the physical symptoms. For example, conditions such as obesity, rare forms of cancer and ectopic pregnancy can lead to similar physical symptoms and sharp hormonal changes.
What causes hysterical pregnancy?
Although there's no scientific consensus yet, the most plausible theories all focus on the psychological state of the women who struggle with hysterical pregnancy, with some also suggesting a serious health condition as the cause.
The mind and body are deeply interconnected, which explains how women can experience the physical symptoms of pregnancy without carrying a baby even if the underlying cause is a psychological issue.
"In many cases, these women have experienced some type of past emotional trauma, like sexual abuse, or have experienced extreme poverty," said Kecia Gaither, M.D., who is board-certified in OB-GYN and maternal-fetal medicine and the director of perinatal services/maternal-fetal medicine at NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln in the Bronx in New York City.
'In many cases, these women have experienced some type of past emotional trauma, like sexual abuse, or have experienced extreme poverty.'
One theory focuses on the intense emotions of the person. A woman may have a considerable desire to get pregnant or a fear of getting pregnant.
If you feel a lot of pressure or anxiety about a potential pregnancy, then your psychological state can affect your endocrine system, cause hormonal changes and lead to symptoms of pregnancy. For example, the accumulation of gas, fat and feces through constipation or stress activating the sympathetic nervous system can cause the belly to get bigger and abdominal discomfort, which can feel like kicks from a fetus.
This desire-based theory explains why the condition is more common in women who have had trouble getting pregnant, have lost an infant or had a miscarriage, have gone through poverty or related trauma, or live in cultures that heavily emphasize motherhood and having a family.
Another theory focuses on underlying health conditions that could be causing the physical symptoms. Ovarian tumors and rare forms of cancer, severe cases of obesity, ectopic pregnancy and a host of other conditions can cause similar symptoms as those of pregnancy.
How to treat this condition
Comprehensive medical tests should be done to find out if there is an underlying medical cause for a false pregnancy. If there is another condition causing the symptoms, then appropriate treatment can be suggested and certain medications may be given to manage some of the symptoms.
"One of the successful methods of ending pseudocyesis is to show the person evidence of the absence of a fetus on an ultrasound," said Hana Patel, M.B.B.S., M.Sc., a private general practitioner in women's health and mental health and a mindset coach in London.
Furthermore, it's recommended to try speaking with a therapist for a psychological consultation or examination to assess underlying neurological or psychological conditions, because a false pregnancy can be a sign of many repressed thoughts and mental health problems. Additionally, emotional support and/or psychotherapy can help treat pseudocyesis.
How to help someone with this condition
Regardless of the underlying cause, you can help somebody going through a false pregnancy when you stay by their side and offer your company and emotional support. If the reason is a mental health issue, you can help them come to terms with reality, encourage them to seek therapy and help them remove stressors and negative thoughts from their life.
"Pseudocyesis can cause feelings of stress, fear, anticipation and general emotional disturbance to the person, and until their physical symptoms are managed, it may be difficult to help address the psychological symptoms," Patel said. | eng | 81d3e9e7-351f-4119-93c2-dfbec44f6c01 | https://getmegiddy.com/hysterical-pregnancy |

Keeping your data in one place is safer and makes life easier for data science teams. Read on to learn more about why that is.
When I started working in the BI space in the mid '90s, the "ROLAP vs. MOLAP" war was raging. On one side were MOLAP companies like Arbor (now Oracle), Essbase, and what is now known as SQL Server Analysis Services, originally Panorama Software. On the other was the company I worked for, Microstrategy.
Before database engines started to become optimized for analytical versus transactional queries, the best way to do BI was to build what is called a "multi-dimensional OLAP cube," which precomputes the answers to many of the possible calculations that a user could ask for. This makes it really fast to answer users' questions, but takes a lot of time and memory to calculate the cube, and then space to store it. Since most BI was being done on small amounts of financial data, this generally worked fine.
Then data warehousing took off in the retail sector, and retailers wanted to analyze all their sales and inventory transactions at a granular level. This was much more data, and so the cubes started to get much bigger — eventually too big to fit on a reasonable computer of the day. So along came Microstrategy who said, "you should query the data in place in the database when people ask questions, not pre-compute all the answers in a copy." This was called Relational OLAP, or ROLAP.
ROLAP was much more scalable than MOLAP, but was generally slower. Queries could take minutes as opposed to seconds, and to make them faster we'd usually create aggregate tables in the database, which was sort of like MOLAP but just stored in a different place. But it's still basically a copy that needs to be created and maintained.
Eventually, most BI tools in the mid 2000s evolved to use a hybrid strategy, using MOLAP approaches for some of the data as an accelerator, and ROLAP for access to the bulk of the data. So neither approach really ever "won" the ROLAP-MOLAP war.
When Hadoop and cloud storage became popular in the mid 2010s, and the big data revolution started, many companies didn't want to store all their data in a regular relational database anymore, as the data was too big, and those systems were too slow and expensive. But then new problems evolved. The first generation of big databases were developed for batch processing (think MapReduce). It took a while to find ways to quickly query big databases. Approaches like HIVE sort of made it queryable, but generally too slowly for interactive analysis.
And everyone still wanted their BI to work on this new big data. And people tried a lot of different things — Datameer, Platfora (MOLAP is back!). These early Hadoop data analysis tools used the MOLAP playbook. Extract the data from Hadoop, munge it, roll it up, and copy the results into a cube. Then these players also built a hard-wired BI tool on top of these cubes, which only worked with these cubes. The net of this is you're using a new BI (and ETL) tool, on rolled-up copies of your Hadoop data. Cool? Well, initially, sort of... except that you're not leveraging the power of your Hadoop platform except as a cheap source data file store, and you need to learn a new ETL and BI tool. Also, you need to keep those extracted cubes up-to-date, and create new ones when users need to look at the data in a different way.
AtScale, Jethro (MOLAP, Bring Your Own BI)
Some other startups decided to focus just on the ETL and MOLAP aspects, and to let you keep your existing BI tool. So they built engines that were able to cube up data out of Hadoop and present it as a SQL or MDX store to existing BI tools. This approach has worked a bit better than the Datameer/Platfora type approach, but still requires care and feeding of a copy of data, not leveraging the power of your Hadoop platform except as a file store, and acquiring and running another piece of technology in your BI stack.
Impala, Presto, Hive on Tez/LLAP (ROLAP?)
This is where we get back to ROLAP. The open source community decided that we needed faster query engines than Hive alone. Cloudera built Impala, Hortonworks ported Hive to work on Tez and LLAP for greater speed, and Facebook built and open sourced Presto. Presto was the first engine to work on data stored in Amazon S3 in addition to HDFS, and Impala and Hive have since added S3 connectivity. When run in Hadoop on HDFS data, this approach properly leverages the co-located compute and storage that Hadoop is all about. When run on S3 data it's a little fuzzier, except the Hadoop investment is still being leveraged to run the query engine, but not to store the data. And these engines can be run on big, raw data, not copies, and can be used by many BI tools. The only catch is that they are pretty complicated to set up, the data needs to be formatted just so if you want them to really perform, and most BI tools have not optimized for these engines in a way that makes them usable especially as concurrent usage levels increase. But again, this approach means no copies to define, secure, and maintain, and leveraging Hadoop is a very good thing!
So we've talked about three approaches to leverage big data and making it accessible to analysis tools, each with their pros and cons. Many organizations who have invested in Hadoop, particularly on-premises Hadoop, are now actively deciding between the latter two of these approaches. But for companies going all-in on Cloud, there is a another approach which is quickly gathering steam:
Snowflake and BigQuery (Just a Database!)
There are advantages to full-featured databases over Hadoop, which have not been fully replicated by Hadoop SQL engines. But, historically, there hasn't been a full-featured database that was scalable and cheap enough at scale to be workable, which is why Hadoop was invented in the first place. But two teams of database die-hards went to work to build a database that would scale, and those two visions have now been achieved as Snowflake and Google BigQuery. Both will hold extremely large amounts of data but also return query results quickly. So for data processing and BI, if you are willing to put all your data in the cloud, they work very well. They work less well for ad-hoc and Machine Learning/AI workloads which need more than SQL access to data, so they aren't a complete one-stop-shop. But those bridges are being built. And while you do need to load your data into these cloud databases, once you do so they can become your one master copy, and they are fast enough to not need any aggregate or cubes on top of them.
Conclusion
So the decision today if you are trying to decide what to do with all your structured data comes down a few scenarios:
You're going all in on cloud, and primarily need a SQL database. In this case one of the fully hosted databases like Snowflake or BigQuery may be your best bet.
You're going all in on cloud, need a database, but also plan to do a lot of machine learning, AI, or data engineering. In this case, a hosted Hadoop option such as Cloudera Altus or Amazon EMR may be a good choice.
You need to have your data on-premises. An on-premises Hadoop deployment is probably your best option. Consider one that also has a cloud hosted option, and you could potentially migrate in the future.
The good news is that both of these approaches let you query your single copy of your data. No copies, no cubes, no aggregates, no MOLAP. Just say no to anyone who wants to make a copy of your data to speed up queries — it's complex and risky, and it's not secure. Plus, it's no longer needed. Then choose a BI tool that is optimized for the modern storage engine that you choose. | eng | 60853cb3-faac-4e98-8c37-9522c9433066 | https://dzone.com/articles/do-this-not-that-for-modern-bi-query-data-in-place |

NATUZYME
Natuzyme is a highly effective multi-enzyme feed additive developed by Bioproton that has been shown to significantly enhance the nutrition and health benefits for livestock and aquaculture.
Natuzyme is formulated to improve the digestion and absorption of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of poultry, pigs, ruminants, and aquaculture, resulting in improved health and higher-quality meat, eggs, or milk with lower total costs. Natuzyme's unique blend of enzymes is highly effective in various feed formulations and under different environmental conditions, making it a versatile solution for animal nutrition.
Natuzyme's enzymes have a wide pH activity range and are heat tolerant, making them highly effective in various feed formulations and under different environmental conditions. The enzyme formulation may vary depending on the local feed and regulatory conditions to ensure optimal performance.
Natuzyme contains a variety of enzymes, each with specific functions in feed digestion and nutrient absorption. Phytase, hydrolyses phytate substrates to release phosphorus, which is essential for bone health and growth. Non-starch polysaccharide (NSP) enzymes, including xylanase, mannanase, β-glucanase, and cellulase, break down plant cell walls, leading to the degradation of cellulose, hemicellulose, and glucan into simple sugars such as glucose, mannose, and xylose. α-amylase catalyses the breakdown of starch into maltose, while protease catalyses the breakdown of proteins into amino acids. By improving nutrient digestion and absorption, Natuzyme helps animals get more out of their feed, leading to better growth rates, improved overall health and lower feeding costs.
Natuzyme has a proven track record of success in animal feeds worldwide, producing excellent results under wide-ranging conditions. Natuzyme is a trusted and reliable solution for enhancing the nutritional value of livestock and aquaculture feeds. Natuzyme can help you achieve higher-quality products with lower costs. | eng | 33b8056c-f791-4e5c-9883-ad1d35608e33 | https://www.bioprotoneurope.com/products/natuzyme |
Y Axis and Log Scale
12-10-201506:39 AM
Is there a way to reflect multiple values on the y axis? For example, I want to plot a line graph for the amount of of clicks and impressions (which is in the hundreds and thousands) along with our Conversion rate (e.g. 2%). When plotting the clicks and impressions with a % in the same graph, my Conversion rate line is almost invisible/flat because it's so small. I am already using the Log scale. I tried changing the display (thousands, billions) but it did not change my graph at all. Is there another method so I can see my data more proportionally?
In excel you can specify a second axis to get around this problem, I dont think PBI has this functionality yet though.
One workaround (and its not the greatest) would be to create a second seperate chart and overlay it on top off the first. If you turn off the background and labels etc you can get it to show just the line
@Bjoern agree with the sentiment of not overlaying, I was scraping the barrel for a solution as when I looked at the visualisation you suggested I couldn't see a way to adust the two seperate y axis independantly so assumed the same scaling issues.
Would love MS to add duel Axis and also option to invert axis for rankings etc where 1 needs to be at the top.
Yes, truely, the options would be unlimited. I am still dreaming of a "dynamic" axis which can be cut off dynamically, e.g. just showing an interval between 50 and 100 based on the values. Would be the same like the min() max() functions, which can be used in excel. By doing this, charts could be combined etc ... ah, imagine the possibilities. | eng | a35331a0-08c1-4b35-a259-fafdfa108dad | https://community.fabric.microsoft.com/t5/Desktop/Y-Axis-and-Log-Scale/m-p/11982 |

Ash Wednesday Liturgies
Posted on February 15, 2019September 30, 2019
Lent is a time for us to voluntarily choose to do penance and mortification as an expression of gratitude to God for what Christ did for us through His Own Suffering and Death. It is an attempt to respond to the love that He so willingly gave to us.
FASTING AND ABSTINENCE Fasting (the eating of one main meal and two smaller meals with no in‐between snacks) applies to those between ages 21‐59 who are in good health and would not be hampered in their work by fasting. The only days that are legislated by church law are Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. The other days of Lent and all Fridays are encouraged but not obligated by law.
Abstinence (the exclusion of meat for the entire day) includes anyone from age 7 and up to any age where the loss of meat for one day would not be harmful to one's health. The days of full Abstinence are Ash Wednesday and all Fridays during Lent | eng | 557a45ce-0c9e-4b50-9d45-24b87f525963 | https://sanluisreyparish.org/ash-wednesday-liturgies/ |
A JSON Web Token (JWT) consists of three parts: header, payload, and signature. The io.jsonwebtoken.jjwt library is one of many libraries used for working with JWTs. It offers different methods for parsing tokens like parse, parseClaimsJws, and parsePlaintextJws. The last two correctly verify that the JWT is properly signed. This is done by computing the signature of the combination of header and payload and comparing the locally computed signature with the signature part of the JWT.
Therefore it is necessary to provide the JwtParser with a key that is used for signature validation. Unfortunately the parse method accepts a JWT whose signature is empty although a signing key has been set for the parser. This means that an attacker can create arbitrary JWTs that will be accepted if this method is used.
The following example shows four cases where a signing key is set for a parser. In the first 'BAD' case the parse method is used, which will not validate the signature. The second 'BAD' case uses a JwtHandlerAdapter where the onPlaintextJwt method is overriden, so it will not validate the signature. The third and fourth 'GOOD' cases use parseClaimsJws method or override the onPlaintextJws method.

Tag: copiesAs is often mentioned on this site, the importance of visual sources (signatures, drawings, maps, watercolour copies of ancient paintings) in the history of the discovery of Christian catacombs is incredible. These sources assume greater weight especially for the initial centuries in the history of Christian archaeology, before the advent of photography.
Among the most famous scholars who proceeded massively to copy the paintings of the catacombs they saw in their explorations is the Andalusian Alonso Chacón (1540-1599).
Chacòn can certainly be considered an important 'chronicler' of the state of catacomb paintings in the period in which the scholar lived in Rome (1567-1599).This rich heritage of early Christian iconography can be found in the manuscripts of the Vatican Library Vat. lat. 5409. This work, which has never been published, contains precious drawings of catacomb paintings commissioned by the Dominican to several artists and referable to the pictorial apparatuses of the cemetery of via Anapo and the catacombs of Priscilla, Domitilla and the complexes of the via Appia.
From an artistic point of view, the watercolour copies of the paintings commissioned by Chacón do not reflect the original style of the paintings, as they are totally executed in a strongly Baroque style. Even the scenes are sometimes misrepresented. In spite of these objective limitations, Chacón's drawings remain a fundamental archaeological testimony (also for their descriptions and captions), as well as an absolutely enjoyable artistic work.
The Vat. lat 5409 manuscript is fully available in digital format on the Vatican Library website, on this page, which we highlight because of the usefulness of having such sources available digitally worldwide. | eng | 3bb89fb0-8214-4388-9721-2fa0610c6533 | https://catacombsrediscovery.com/tag/copies/ |

About Us
Catherine Wayte Primary School opened on 6th September 2000 and provides education for pupils aged 4-11 years. We are a popular and successful school which serves the North Swindon community. We have two classes in each year group. The teaching team work with support staff and governors, in partnership with parents, to provide the best possible education for our pupils.
The school is named after the daughter of the owner of Manor Farm and the land on which the school is built. She was concerned that local children were not being educated and sought to provide schooling for children from the parishes of Blunsdon St. Andrew and Rodbourne Cheney. She established a school in Haydon Wick in 1806 to provide basic education for local boys and girls.
At Catherine Wayte Primary School we aim to: -
Provide a variety of appropriate teaching and learning opportunities.
Create a learning environment in which pupils and staff are encouraged to achieve their full potential.
Encourage self-discipline, independence and respect for others.
Provide pupils and staff with opportunities to build self-confidence and increase self-esteem in order to experience success and achievement.
Provide a range of resources appropriate to age, ability and curriculum requirements.
Create an environment where partnerships with parents and the wider community are encouraged and developed.
Provide an attractive environment with stimulating displays which reflect the ability of our pupils, are relevant to ongoing work and which encourage questioning and discussion.
Recognise that our children come from a range of social and cultural backgrounds and bring a wealth of experience to our school
Our vision statement has a high profile within the school and underpins all our work including academic attainment, achievements in areas such as sport or art or music, behaviour, contribution to the school community and health and well-being.
In January 2019 we received an Ofsted inspection and are delighted that we continue to be recognised as a good school.

Studies show that scoliosis, or the unnatural curvature of your spine to the side, usually starts to happen in your late childhood or early teen years. Sometimes the curve is so minor you don't need any treatment, but in more severe cases you might need to try to treat your scoliosis and reduce the curvature of your spine. Experts agree that exercises, bracing, and surgery are the best treatment options for those with scoliosis, and that they can all help you improve your posture and feel better.[1]XResearch source
Visit your doctor every 4-6 months. In order to treat your scoliosis, it's important to understand where your spine is curving and in which direction. See your doctor to have a physical exam done, and get an x-ray of your spine. Continue to visit your doctor every 4-6 months for repeat x-rays to monitor for change. Ask for a copy of the x-ray to bring home with you, or at least have your doctor write down the exact location of your spine's curve – for instance, "right-sided curve in T4 through T7."[2]XResearch source
Scoliosis curvature can be either S-shaped or C-shaped. C-shapes are single curves in the spine, whereas the S-shape is basically a C shape but the lower spine curved in the other direction to compensate, causing a double curve.
Wear a brace. Your doctor can give you a back brace to wear to help realign the curve of your spine. Braces are most helpful if your bones are still growing, so they're usually not used anymore once you get your period, have stopped growing taller, or have to shave your face every day (boys). Braces are tight-fitting and some are nearly invisible underneath your clothes, so people probably won't even notice that you're wearing one. They don't have to limit your activity or significantly change what you do every day, so they're a great choice to use temporarily.[3]XResearch source[4]XResearch source
Full torso (Milwaukee)braces are good for high curves. They have to be worn at all times other than during bathing – for at least 23 hours a day.
Thoracolumbar-Sacral Orthoses (TLSO) are less visible, and can be effective for mid- to lower-back curves. They work better the more you wear them.
Nighttime braces are newer on the market and some doctors question how well they work, especially since 10% of people who use them still end up needing surgery. However, they may be useful for small curves. They must be worn at least 8 hours a night, and they put much more corrective force on your body than full-time braces.
Have surgery. Consider having surgery if your scoliosis is severe or your doctor thinks it is going to keep getting worse. Surgery may seem scary, but these doctors do surgeries like these often to help young people treat their scoliosis. The most common surgery is spinal fusion, where two parts of your spine – the vertebrae – are connected together to prevent further changes.[5]XResearch source Many factors determine whether surgery is right for you, so talk to your doctor about your scoliosis and treatment options.[6]XResearch source
Another surgery is to put a metal rod in your back to help keep it straight. The rod is adjusted to get longer as your grow taller, usually every 6 months. This can be helpful if your scoliosis is getting worse quickly.[7]XTrustworthy SourceMedlinePlusCollection of medical information sourced from the US National Library of MedicineGo to source Dealing with the problem now can significantly help for when you're older.
Have chiropractic treatments. Seeing a chiropractor can help if you have pain due to your scoliosis, and may be able to help improve the curve of your spine. It's unclear whether long-term conditions like scoliosis can be improved with chiropractic.[8]XResearch source Some evidence suggests that regular chiropractic treatments are especially helpful for adults with scoliosis.[9]XTrustworthy SourcePubMed CentralJournal archive from the U.S. National Institutes of HealthGo to source Talk to your doctor about whether seeing a chiropractor may help, and get a referral if possible.
Try serial casting for infantile scoliosis. Scoliosis in infants and young children can be treated with serial casting, casting the baby's body in progressively larger casts as they grow. This helps the spine to grow straighter.[10]XResearch source Casts usually need to be changed every 2-4 months for children aged 2-4 years, respectively.[11]XTrustworthy SourcePubMed CentralJournal archive from the U.S. National Institutes of HealthGo to source
Work with a professional on Physiotherapeutic Specific Exercises (PSEs). The Society on Scoliosis Orthopaedic and Rehabilitation Treatment has designed a set of PSEs, exercises specific to scoliosis that should be performed with a physiotherapist. Talk to your doctor about referral to a treatment specialist. Attend physiotherapy at least 2-4 times per week for best results.[12]XTrustworthy SourcePubMed CentralJournal archive from the U.S. National Institutes of HealthGo to source
Working with a professional is recommended so that you can learn the best exercises specific to your exact spinal curve.
Do At-Home Exercises. Exercises have been designed to improve posture, reduce pain, and increase flexibility for those with scoliosis – though these have not been scientifically proven to improve the curve of your spine. However, curve-specific exercises may help improve the shape of your spine by retraining your brain to know what is "correct" posture. Be sure you're aware of what your spinal curvature is, and try these curve-specific exercises:[13]XResearch source
One sided (C-shaped) thoracic curve: Sit up tall with your spine as straight as possible. Reach in an upward diagonal direction, slightly forward from midline. Hold the posture for as long as you can.
Right-thoracic, left-lumbar S-shaped curve: Lie on your back on a flat surface. Place your right hand on your right lateral chest, basically over the sides of your right ribs. Place your left hand on the left side of your pelvis. Leave your hands where they are and do not flex your spine, and try to bring your hands closer together by squeezing your abdominal muscles. Try to have your upper body shift to the left and your lower body shift to the right, just using your abs.
Do side planks every day. The side plank exercise has been shown to improve spinal curvature for some people. Start out by doing this exercise every day for 10-20 seconds for the first week. Then hold the pose for as long as you can on a daily basis. Only do this exercise on the weaker, convex side of your spine.[14]XResearch source
Turn onto your weaker side with your legs out straight and stacked one on top of the other, and feet and hips on the ground. Put your elbow right underneath your shoulder to prop up your body. Align your head with your spine to make a straight line between your head and your feet. Hold this position.
Start doing yoga. Yoga practice can help to stretch the tight muscles around your spine to improve pain, and strengthen your back muscles.[15]XResearch source Do Downward Dog and hold it for as long as you can, which can be an especially effective posture for scoliosis.[16]XTrustworthy SourceCleveland ClinicEducational website from one of the world's leading hospitalsGo to source
Participate in other exercises. People with scoliosis, or those who have been treated for it in the past, can still participate in many types of physical activity including sports and regular gym exercises. Find an exercise routine that works for you and stick to it. It is good for your overall health, and scoliosis should not prevent you from participating.[17]XTrustworthy SourcePubMed CentralJournal archive from the U.S. National Institutes of HealthGo to source
If you are particularly worried about a certain type of exercise, or if you experience pain or other complications after exercise, contact your doctor.
Try physical therapy for pain. Physical therapy will not straighten your spine or keep the curve from getting worse, but it may be able to help improve muscle pain and the shape and look of your body, and make breathing easier.[19]XResearch source
Warnings
Understand that bracing and surgery are the only proven effective treatments for scoliosis (though side plank is showing promise in some studies).[22]XResearch source Other exercises and activities may improve pain, or possibly improve the curve of your spine, but results are not guaranteed 75,763Before trying to reduce your scoliosis curvature, see your doctor to get an x-ray, which will determine the exact location of your curvature. Depending on your condition, your doctor may recommend a back brace or chiropractic treatments. You can also try exercises, like side planks or yoga, to improve spine's curvature while strengthening your back. Alternatively, ask your doctor to refer you to a physiotherapist for regular treatment sessions to strengthen the muscles in your spine.

Correlation is a statistical measure that indicates how two variables move in relation to each other. In the context of forex trading, correlation is used to determine the relationship between currency pairs and their movements. Understanding correlation is crucial in forex trading because it can help traders identify potential opportunities and risks in the market.
In the forex market, currency pairs are often traded in pairs. For example, the EUR/USD and USD/CHF are two popular forex pairs. These pairs are often traded together because they share a common currency, the US dollar. However, the movements of these pairs are not always the same. Sometimes they move in opposite directions, and other times they move in the same direction.
Correlation is a measure of the degree to which two variables move in relation to each other. In the case of forex trading, correlation measures the degree to which two currency pairs move in relation to each other. A correlation coefficient of +1 indicates a perfect positive correlation, where the two pairs move in the same direction. A correlation coefficient of -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation, where the two pairs move in opposite directions. A correlation coefficient of 0 indicates no correlation, where the two pairs move independently of each other.
For example, let's look at the correlation between the EUR/USD and USD/CHF pairs. A positive correlation between these two pairs indicates that when the EUR/USD goes up, the USD/CHF also goes up, and when the EUR/USD goes down, the USD/CHF also goes down. Conversely, a negative correlation between these two pairs indicates that when the EUR/USD goes up, the USD/CHF goes down, and vice versa.
In reality, the correlation between currency pairs is not always consistent. Correlations can change over time, and they can vary depending on market conditions. For example, during times of market stress, currency pairs that are normally positively correlated may become negatively correlated. This is because investors may sell off riskier currencies and move their funds into safer havens.

How a Pool Heater Works
This guide will walk you through the basic functions of a heater and gives you some idea of what might be wrong when your heater malfunctions. This guide is based on the design and operation of a smaller 100 BTU heater but the basic concepts are applicable to most heaters.
1. HEATER SPECIFICATIONS: This picture of the heater label shows the specifications for this heater. The heater is a Hayward model H1001D1 WITH a 100,000 BTU rating. Its output rating is 79,000 BTU which equates to a 79% thermal efficiency- on the low side for heaters but typical for this size heater. Most heaters will have efficiency ratings of between 79 and 83%. The gas orifice is selected at #44 which is standard for this heater's designed altitude shown as 0-2000 ft. Heaters for higher altitudes would change out the gas orifices with a larger one. This heater is set up for using Natural Gas commonly designated as NG. The other gas option is propane commonly designated as LG.
2. CONTROL PANEL – The only manual control on this heater is a control knob on the front panel that is connected to a thermostat to regulate heat. Larger heaters have multi-function LED displays to set and monitor heater operation and status.
3. CONTROL MODULE – This internal circuit board collects and correlates signals from monitoring sensors and sends control signals to operational components like the ignitor. It monitors several temperatures and pressure sensors to automatically shut down the system if limits are exceeded.
4. GAS SIDE OVERVIEW - This picture shows the major components of the gas side of the heater. The gas enters through the gas valve and is burned in the burner box. The heat exchanger transfers the heat generated by the burners to pool water. The blower brings in forced air to the burners. Each of these components and other related components are described further below.
5. GAS INPUT PORT - The gas input port is located on the side of the gas valve. The gas line from a propane tank or house natural gas source is connected to the heater at this port.
6. GAS VALVE – Regulates the flow of gas into the gas manifold and burners. This valve can be purchased with a transformer for 24V operation (as shown here) or without a transformer for 120V operation. The valve is adjusted at installation to correct for variations in incoming gas pressure and gas pipe size.
7. GAS VALVE SWITCH - This switch allows the user to manually shut off the heater. It is access through the front panel.
8. GAS MANIFOLD – Distributes the gas to the burners. Larger heaters will have larger manifolds to supply more burners.
9. ORIFICES - The fittings between the gas manifold and the burners. The size of the hole in the orifice controls the amount of gas input to the burners. These vary with altitude. Heaters operating above 2000' are fitted with orifices with larger holes.
10. IGNITOR – This heater is set up with an electronic starter. A cable (removed) connects the ignitor to the power source on the control module. The control module sparks the ignitor when the heater is turned on. Some heaters use a continuously burning gas pilot system (called millivolt) to light the burners.
11. BURNERS – This picture is taken looking down through the top of the heater with the heat exchanger and blower removed. The gas burners are the two cylinders seen at the bottom the insulated burner box. Larger heater can have as many as six burners. The gas valve in on the other side of the fire wall. This picture also shows the spark side of the ignitor discussed above.
12. HEAT EXCHANGER. This is a picture of the heat exchanger flipped over. This unit sits above the burners to transfer the heat generated by the burners to the pool water. It consists of a continuous tube with fins. Pool water flows through the tube while the tube is heated. The fins connected around the tube help capture the heat to heat the tube and water.
13. BLOWER - Some heaters, notably Hayward, have forced draft systems which move air up through the combustion chamber at a precise flow rate. This eliminates all outside weather variables that can affect the heating performance, such as high wind conditions. Other manufacturers, like Raypak, eliminate these conditions thru their built-in wind resistant design.
14. AIR PRESSURE SWITCH - An air switch is required with the use of blowers to monitor air pressure. If the air pressure becomes too high, the system will shut off.
15. WATER SIDE OVERVIEW - This is the water side of the heater opposite the gas side covered above. It shows the other side of the fan, the heat exchanger and the burner box, and also shows how the pool water is integrated into the heater. Pool water flows into the heater from the left port, goes through a larger pipe called the header and exits to the right port back to the pool.
16. HEADER - The header connects to three smaller pipes that go into the heat exchanger, loop around at the other side and return back to the bottom of the header. This header is actually a split pipe with baffles inside to direct the water out through the top three pipes (shown) and to direct the returned water out though the right port. The three return pipes are not visible. They are directly below the top three pipes shown.
17. HEAT EXCHANGER - This is a bottom view of the heat exchanger showing how the water tube loops around on the gas side of the heater. It also show the fins inside the heat exchanger that wrap around the pipes to help capture the heat.
18. WATER PRESSURE SWITCH - This switch monitors water flow and pressure inside the header. If the switch senses that the water flow and pressure are either too low or too high, it shuts off the system.
19. HIGH LIMIT SWITCH - These switches monitor water temperature in the header. If the temperature exceeds a set limit, either switch will shut off the heater.
20. THERMOSTAT - The thermostat regulates the water temperature of the heater. It is wired to the knob on the control panel discussed at the beginning of this guide.
21. WATER OUTPUT PORT - The heater is connected to the circulation piping at this port to take heated water back to the pool. The black rubber flange around the pipe seals the hole in the heater housing through which the pipe exits. There is a similar flange on the other side of the header to create a seal around the input port | eng | 1d5c7edc-b510-4afa-a343-4c2e834b21b6 | https://discovermystore.com/blogs/news/how-a-pool-heater-works |

How can I stay warm without heat or electricity?
Staying warm without heat or electricity can be done by using a few simple techniques. One of the best ways to stay warm is to focus on keeping your head and your core warm. You can do this by adding extra layers of clothing – make sure that your head and your chest are covered with extra layers.
Additionally, try to find a space in your home that is naturally insulated from the cold, and use blankets and extra clothes to create an insulated barrier between you and the cold air outside. If possible, try to find a space that gets some sunlight and warmth from the sun during the day, as this will help to keep the air warmer for longer.
Another way to stay warm is to practice staying hydrated and eating warm foods and drinks. Drinking hot liquids or eating cooked hot food will help your body to stay warm. Finally, if you have access to firewood, try to start a fire using natural materials such as wood, paper, kindling, and even dry grass and leaves.
This will help to provide a reliable heat source and light.
How can I stay warm in a cold house without heat?
If you are stuck in a cold house without any heat, here are some ways you can stay warm:
1. Layer up – Put on as many layers of clothing as you can to keep your body heat from escaping and trap warmth inside. Make sure to wear warm hats, gloves, and socks.
2. Use blankets and towels – Layer blankets, towels, and sheets over yourself and furniture to create insulation. Use them to help insulate windows to keep out cold air.
3. Safely burn candles and flames – Make sure to keep all candles and flames away from furniture and fabrics, and open a window to help with ventilation if you're burning something in the home.
4. Exercise regularly – Stay active in the home to stay warm. Do light exercises such as stretches, jumping jacks, and planks to help build heat in your body.
5. Create a fort – Create a cozy fort or tent out of blankets, which will help keep heat trapped inside.
6. Sleep under covers – Use multiple covers, such as blankets, comforters, and sleeping bags to stay warm while you sleep.
8. Make a hot drink – Make hot tea, coffee, or a hot toddy, which includes hot water, lemon juice, honey, and whiskey.
How do I heat my house when the power goes out?
When the power goes out, it can be difficult to keep your house warm. However, there are a few steps you can take to help heat your home when the power goes out:
1. Invest in alternative sources of heat, such as a wood-burning stove or kerosene heater.
2. Close off any rooms that aren't in use and make sure to block up any drafts under doors.
3. If you have an outdoor generator, you can use it to power an electric space heater, keeping a specific room warmer.
4. Layer up by wearing several layers of clothes and using blankets and throws to keep warm.
5. Cook on a grill outside and place the cooked food on top of an oven to keep warm.
6. Create an indoor tent using blankets to help keep the heat contained inside.
7. Try to do activities to generate body heat, such as exercising and running.
8. Place towels at the bottom of doorways to help keep any heat that is already in the house contained for longer.
9. Take advantage of any natural heat that is produced from the sun by keeping curtains and windows open during the day.
Following these steps can help keep your house warm during a power outage. It is also advisable to have supplies on hand in the event that a power outage occurs, such as candles, flashlights, non-perishable food items, and a first aid kit.
How do you heat your house without electricity?
Heating a home without electricity can be done using alternative energy sources such as wood, solar power, and propane.
Wood: Using a wood stove, wood burning fireplace, or wood-burning furnace is the most common way of heating a home without electricity. To do this, you will need to purchase firewood and store it in a dry place for use.
Make sure that the stove is properly installed, and that you follow all safety precautions when lighting and refueling a wood fire.
Solar Power: Solar power is becoming more popular as a way to heat a home without electricity. Solar thermal collectors are designed to absorb the sun's infrared rays, convert them into heat and direct that heat into the residence.
These systems can be used to heat water and air within a home.
Propane: Propane is a clean-burning fuel that provides an efficient way to heat a home without electricity. There are a variety of ways to use propane as a source of heat, such as furnaces, boilers, space heaters, and water heaters.
With the proper installation, propane can provide reliable heat in a home.
For all three methods, it is important to keep a fire extinguisher handy, and to have your home regularly inspected by a professional to ensure it is safe and efficient.
How long will a house stay warm without power?
Without power, a house can stay warm for quite a while depending on the outside temperature and how well insulated the house is. Generally speaking, the more insulated a house is, the longer it will stay warm without power.
That being said, if the outside temperature is cold and the insulation is poor, the house will begin to cool off quickly as there is no power to help maintain the warm temperatures. Generally speaking, a house should stay warm for up to several hours depending on outside temperature and insulation levels.
What can I use if I don't have heat?
If you are in a situation where you don't have access to traditional heating options such as an heater or a fireplace, there are other alternatives you can use to keep warm.
One option is to layer your clothing. Put on items such as thermal underwear, scarves, hats, and sweaters to create a warmer environment for your body.
You can also use a hot water bottle. Fill up a large bottle with hot water and then wrap it in a towel before placing it on the bed or near you so that you can use it for additional warmth.
In addition, you can keep your home warm by using thicker curtains and blinds to trap the heat from the sun and prevent cold air from entering the room.
Finally, make sure you drink plenty of fluids such as hot tea, coffee, or hot chocolate, as they will help warm up your body from the inside.
How can I keep my body warm naturally?
There are many ways to keep your body warm naturally. Some of the most effective methods include:
1. Dressing in Layers: Wearing multiple layers of clothing will create an insulation for your body and help to keep it warm. Start with a lightweight base layer of synthetic materials such as polypropylene or silk, then add layers of wool or fleece as necessary.
If you are heading outdoors, be sure to cover your head, hands, and feet.
2. Staying Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water can help keep your body temperature regulated. Dehydration can make you feel fainter and cause a decrease in your body temperature.
4. Spend Time Near Heat Sources: If you have access to a fireplace, radiator, or other heat sources, spend some time near it to help keep your body warm.
5. Eating Spicy Foods: Some spices have a thermogenic effect, which can speed up your metabolism and create a natural warmth in your body.
6. Keeping Your Home Warmer: If you are indoors, making sure your house is warm enough can help keep your body temperature up. Close doors and windows and cover any drafts that may be letting in cold air. | eng | bf039a13-1ee8-49da-a03f-f14e9639eb84 | https://www.skystreamenergy.com/how-can-i-stay-warm-without-heat-or-electricity/ |
Recommended PostsSecond, I understand that if something is "1/SR" that you can fire it on your Dex rank, reload for 3 SR, then fire again an repeat as able. What does "2/SR", or other variations mean?Link to comment
Share on other sitesMR stood for Melee Round, which is what they calla Combat Round (CR) in BRP. So yeah, it's probably a typo from porting the tabel over from a similar game.
Quote
Second, I understand that if something is "1/SR" that you can fire it on your Dex rank, reload for 3 SR, then fire again an repeat as able.
Not quite. There is a difference between DEX ranks and SR. Strike Ranks an an optional rule in BRP. You're mixing different sequencing systems, although in generally you got the right idea.
Quote
What does "2/SR", or other variations mean?
2/SR means that you can fire two shots in a round, and and is seen with double barrel weapons or automatic shotguns. For example someone could fire both barrels of an elephant gun at the same time. Some high tech weapons can also fire quicky and get mutltiple shots that way.
QuoteGenerally yes. Although with some weapons (lasso, net) it might just reflect how much time it takes to gather up the weapon a ready it for another attack. The best way to tell is to check how much ammo the weapon holds. If it is a single shot weapon, then you know that it's empty and needed to be relaoded. If it is has the ammo, then there must be some other reason for the dealy, for instance a laser gun might have to "cool down" between firings.
QuoteTough Question. It kinda depends.The Strike Rank system in BRP is closer to the one used in RQ3, so I'd think that characters would move on their DEX SR. You'd add 1 SR to their attack per 3m moved. So if someone normally attacked on SR7, but they had to move 6m they would move 3m on their DEX SR, 3m on the following SR, and end up attacking on SR9. What makes it a tough call is that the normal movement rules assume you are using DEX ranks, which work a little differently than Strike Ranks. | eng | db9910a7-f56c-4cf5-a871-6c26b9b15ee0 | https://basicroleplaying.org/topic/8522-another-strike-rank-question/ |

The Flexitarian Diet Plan
The Flexitarian Diet is a plant-based or vegetarian style of eating that allows for some animal products in moderation.
"Flex" comes from "flexible" and "tarian" comes from "vegetarian," so a flexitarian is more or less a "flexible vegetarian."
In 2012, the term "flexitarian" actually entered the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as "one whose normally meatless diet occasionally includes meat or fish."
Another way to think of flexitarians would be as "semi-vegetarians."
This version of semi-vegetarianism was first formulated by dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner, in her book The Flexitarian Diet.
In Blanter's word:
"You can think of this diet as a 'vegetarian-ish' way of eating since this plan touts the basic principles and benefits of a plant-based diet, along with the inclusion of some animal proteins to a lesser extent."
The goal of the Flexitarian Diet would be to minimize or reduce the frequency of eating meat, without removing it completely.
This is what separates flexitarians from normal omnivores: the former are actively trying to limit meat consumption.
Flexitarians just don't want to eliminate meat 100% (for health or personal reasons), so they allow some into their diet. | eng | d14f6839-946e-46a6-9ce7-fb013ad455ed | https://viagraonlinepharmacy7.com/?p=213 |
Exploring the Vegetarian Options in Guatemalan Cuisine
Guatemalan cuisine is known for its rich and diverse flavors, with traditional dishes often featuring meat, poultry, or seafood. However, there are also vegetarian options available for those who prefer a plant-based diet. From hearty stews to savory snacks, Guatemalan cuisine offers a range of vegetarian-friendly dishes that are worth exploring.
Traditional Dishes That Can Be Modified for Vegetarians
Many traditional Guatemalan dishes can be modified to cater to vegetarians. One such example is Pepián, a thick and flavorful stew that typically includes chicken or beef. Vegetarian versions of Pepián can be made with vegetable broth and a variety of vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, and green beans. Another popular dish is Chiles Rellenos, which are stuffed peppers that are usually filled with meat or cheese. Vegetarian versions can be made with beans, rice, or cheese, and are just as delicious.
Restaurants in Guatemala City Offering Vegetarian Menus
In Guatemala City, there are several restaurants that offer vegetarian menus. One such example is El Injerto Café, which is known for its coffee and also offers vegetarian options such as salads, sandwiches, and soups. Another option is Roots Café, which specializes in healthy and organic food and offers vegetarian and vegan dishes such as tofu curry and quinoa salad.

The cost of recruitment in 2023: Is it worth outsourcing?
Recruitment Cost
The recruitment cost is is highly understated. Recruiting and hiring the right employees is a critical component of any successful business organisation. However, the process of recruitment can be time-consuming, costly, and complex, particularly in today's competitive job market. In 2023, businesses are facing new challenges as the workforce continues to evolve, and the competition for talent becomes even more intense.
One potential solution to the challenges of recruitment is outsourcing. Outsourcing recruitment can offer several benefits, including reducing costs, saving time, and accessing specialised expertise. However, outsourcing also comes with its own set of potential drawbacks and risks.
In this article, we will explore the cost of recruitment in 2023 and the potential benefits and drawbacks of outsourcing recruitment. We will examine the factors businesses should consider when deciding whether or not to outsource recruitment, including cost, quality, and control. Finally, we will offer some tips and best practices for businesses considering outsourcing recruitment in 2023.
So, what are the benefits of outsourcing?
Outsourcing recruitment can offer several benefits for businesses.
Here are some of the most significant advantages:
Cost savings: Outsourcing recruitment can be more cost-effective than maintaining an in-house recruitment team. Businesses can avoid the expenses associated with recruiting and training recruiters, as well as the costs of technology and software needed for recruitment.
Time savings: Recruitment can be a time-consuming process, requiring significant effort and resources to identify, screen, and interview potential candidates. Outsourcing recruitment can save businesses time by allowing them to focus on their core operations while leaving the hiring process to experts.
Access to specialised expertise: Recruitment outsourcing providers have specialised knowledge and expertise in recruiting, screening, and assessing candidates, enabling them to identify the right candidates for businesses. This expertise can also help businesses stay up to date with the latest recruitment technologies, trends, and practices.
Improved quality of hires: Recruitment outsourcing providers have a vast pool of candidates, and they use sophisticated tools and technologies to assess candidates, reducing the risk of hiring the wrong person.
Flexibility: Outsourcing recruitment provides businesses with the flexibility to scale their recruitment needs up or down as required. Businesses can engage recruitment outsourcing providers on a project basis or for ongoing recruitment needs.
Outsourcing recruitment can help businesses improve the quality of their hires, reduce costs, and save time. However, businesses must carefully consider the potential drawbacks and risks associated with outsourcing recruitment, such as loss of control over the hiring process and potential cultural mismatches between the outsourcing provider and the business.
What are the potential drawbacks of outsourcing my recruitment function?
While outsourcing recruitment can offer several benefits, it also comes with potential drawbacks and risks.
Here are some of the potential drawbacks of outsourcing recruitment:
Loss of control: Outsourcing recruitment means that businesses relinquish control over the hiring process, which can be a significant concern for some organisations. The recruitment outsourcing provider may not understand the company culture, values, or goals as well as an internal recruitment team would, which can lead to potential mismatches between the business and the candidates.
Confidentiality: Outsourcing recruitment requires sharing sensitive information about the business with a third-party provider, which can pose risks to the confidentiality of the business. The provider may not have the same level of security measures in place as the business, leading to potential data breaches or leaks.
Communication and collaboration: Outsourcing recruitment requires effective communication and collaboration between the business and the outsourcing provider. The recruitment outsourcing provider needs to have a clear understanding of the business's needs and requirements, which requires effective communication channels and processes.
Quality control: Outsourcing recruitment means that the recruitment outsourcing provider is responsible for sourcing and screening candidates. While the provider may have access to specialised expertise and tools, businesses may not have the same level of control over the quality of the candidates as they would with an in-house recruitment team.
Cost: While outsourcing recruitment can provide cost savings, it also comes with costs that may not be immediately apparent. Businesses must carefully consider the fees charged by the outsourcing provider, as well as any hidden costs associated with the recruitment process.
Outsourcing recruitment can provide significant benefits to businesses, but it is crucial to carefully consider the potential drawbacks and risks before making a decision. Businesses should evaluate their needs and goals, as well as the capabilities and reputation of potential outsourcing providers, to make an informed decision about whether outsourcing recruitment is the right choice for their organisation.
What should I consider when choosing between outsourcing or recruiting internally?
When choosing between outsourcing or recruiting internally, there are several factors that businesses should consider.
Here are some of the most important considerations:
Cost: Outsourcing recruitment can provide cost savings compared to hiring an in-house recruitment team. However, businesses must carefully evaluate the fees and costs associated with outsourcing, as well as any hidden costs that may arise.
Expertise: Recruitment outsourcing providers typically have specialised expertise and resources that may not be available in-house. However, businesses must carefully evaluate the expertise and reputation of potential outsourcing providers to ensure that they can provide the level of quality and service that the business requires.
Control: In-house recruitment teams offer businesses more control over the hiring process, including the ability to tailor the process to the company's culture, values, and goals. Outsourcing recruitment means relinquishing some of that control to the outsourcing provider.
Scalability: Outsourcing recruitment can provide businesses with greater scalability, allowing them to quickly ramp up or down their hiring efforts as needed. In-house recruitment teams may not be able to provide the same level of flexibility.
Time: Outsourcing recruitment can save businesses time by offloading some of the recruitment process to the outsourcing provider. However, businesses must carefully evaluate the speed and efficiency of potential outsourcing providers to ensure that they can meet the company's needs.
Confidentiality: Outsourcing recruitment requires sharing sensitive information about the business with a third-party provider. Businesses must carefully evaluate the security measures and processes of potential outsourcing providers to ensure that their confidential information is protected.
The decision to outsource or recruit internally depends on the specific needs and goals of the business. By carefully considering the factors listed above, businesses can make an informed decision about whether outsourcing recruitment is the right choice for their organisation.
Best practices for outsourcing to reduce recruitment cost
Outsourcing recruitment can be an effective way for businesses to streamline their hiring process and find top talent. However, to ensure a successful outsourcing relationship, businesses should follow these best practices:
Define your needs: Before choosing an outsourcing provider, businesses should clearly define their recruitment needs, including the skills and experience required for open positions, expected hiring timelines, and budget.
Choose the right provider: Not all outsourcing providers are created equal. Businesses should carefully evaluate potential providers based on their reputation, expertise, and track record of success.
Establish clear communication: Communication is key to a successful outsourcing relationship. Businesses should establish clear lines of communication with their outsourcing provider, including regular check-ins and updates.
Define roles and responsibilities: To avoid confusion or duplication of efforts, businesses should clearly define the roles and responsibilities of both the outsourcing provider and in-house staff.
Set clear expectations: Businesses should establish clear expectations for the outsourcing provider, including expected timelines, quality standards, and reporting requirements.
Monitor progress: Businesses should regularly monitor the progress of the outsourcing provider, including tracking key performance indicators (KPIs) such as time-to-hire, quality of candidates, and cost per hire.
Provide feedback: To improve the outsourcing relationship over time, businesses should provide regular feedback to the outsourcing provider, highlighting areas of success and areas for improvement.
Protect confidentiality: Outsourcing recruitment requires sharing sensitive information about the business with a third-party provider. Businesses should take steps to ensure that their confidential information is protected, including establishing clear confidentiality agreements and security protocols.
By following these best practices, businesses can successfully outsource their recruitment function and reap the benefits of a streamlined and efficient hiring process.
Closing thoughts
Outsourcing recruitment can be a viable option for businesses looking to streamline their hiring process and save time and money. By outsourcing, businesses can benefit from access to specialised expertise, a wider talent pool, and streamlined processes. However, outsourcing recruitment also comes with potential drawbacks, including loss of control, communication challenges, and security concerns.
Therefore, before making a decision, businesses should carefully weigh the pros and cons of outsourcing, consider their specific needs and goals, and evaluate potential providers based on their reputation, expertise, and track record of success. By following best practices and establishing clear communication and expectations, businesses can successfully outsource their recruitment function and achieve their hiring goals in 2023 and beyond. | eng | bb93c2da-d506-437e-9999-b737d9bbb22d | https://scribespace.ai/the-cost-of-recruitment-in-2023-is-it-worth-outsourcing/ |

Can you pay off student loans in 10 years?
Income-Driven Repayment Plan Forgiveness
For federal student loans, the standard repayment period is 10 years. If a 10-year repayment period makes your monthly payments unaffordable, you can enter an income-driven repayment (IDR) program. There's no cost to apply, and you can complete the paperwork yourself.
Can you pay off student loans faster than 10 years?
If you can't make big extra payments, the fastest way to pay off federal loans is to stay on that standard repayment plan. Federal loans offer income-driven repayment plans, which can extend the payoff timeline to 20 or 25 years.
How can I get rid of my student loan in 10 years?
Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF)
If you work full-time for a government or not-for-profit organization, you may qualify for forgiveness of the entire remaining balance of your Direct Loans after you've made 120 qualifying payments—that is, 10 years of payments.
Do you have 10 years to pay back student loans when you graduate from college?
Typically, borrowers have 10 to 25 years to repay federal loans entirely. Shorter lengths of repayment time or larger loans will result in higher monthly payments. The Standard 10-year Repayment Plan is by far the most popular plan with borrowers, but that doesn't mean it is the best plan for youAre student loans wiped after 25 years?
Student debt isn't like other debt, as anything remaining after 30 years (or 25 in Northern Ireland) is, under the current system, wiped. … The interest charged on the loan could make the difference between paying it all off before 30 years, and having a debt balance left at the endAre student loans forgiven at ageDo student loans drop off after 20 years?
The Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan qualifies you for loan forgiveness after 20 years of on-time payments. This repayment plan will generally offer you the lowest monthly payment. … Forgiveness based on 20 or 25 years of on-time payments is only available to Federal Student loans.

What Problems Is Open Banking Solving?
Open Banking is a concept that was created with the aim to address several problems in the traditional banking industry by leveraging technology and data sharing. Some of the key problems that Open Banking aims to solve include:
Limited Financial Transparency
Traditionally, customers have had very limited access to their own financial data. Open Banking allows customers to have better visibility into their financial data by giving them access to their account information, transaction history and financial statements. This increased transparency helps customers to understand their financial situation more effectively and make informed financial decisions.
Poor Trust In Banks
Some customers have poor trust in banks – the 2020 Edelman Trust Barometer revealed that the banking sector was one of the least trusted sectors. Having new companies offering innovative and fresh products to help consumers gain control over their information can help to increase customer trust.
Lack Of Competition
Open Banking encourages competition among financial service providers by enabling customers to securely share their financial data with multiple third-party providers. This allows customers to compare and switch between different banks or financial services more easily, fostering a more competitive market.
Inefficient Banking Processes
Open Banking promoted the use of standardised application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow different financial institutions and third-party providers to securely and efficiently communicate and share data. This integration streamlines processes such as payments, account aggregating and authentication, making banking services more convenient and user-friendly.
Limited Access To Innovative Services
By opening up access to customer data, Open Banking facilitates the development of innovative financial services and products by third-party providers. This leads to a broader range of offerings, such as personalised financial management apps, budgeting tools and lending platforms. This increased competition in the marketplace means that Open Banking can better meet the diverse needs of customers.
Data Security And Privacy
Open Banking emphasises the secure and regulated sharing of customer data. It employs strong authentication protocols and data encryption to protect customer information and ensure privacy
Furthermore, customers have control over their data and can choose which providers they want to share it with, enhancing data security and privacy. Customers have peace of mind that the only people who have access to their financial information are those who they have given express permission to.
Financial Inclusion
Open Banking has the potential to improve financial inclusion by making banking services more accessible to underserved populations. It enables the development of innovative, low-cost financial products and services tailored to specific customer segments, including those with limited access to traditional banking services. Open Banking has literally opened up the world of banking and allows those who previously did not have access to their data or specific financial services, more options and choice.
Overall, Open Banking aims to create a more customer-centric and competitive banking environment by leveraging technology, data sharing and collaboration among financial institutions and third-party providers. It empowers customers with great control over their financial data while fostering innovation and efficiency in the financial industry. | eng | 7c1c4ed7-c7e0-4183-b176-70575d802d9e | https://trustisttransfer.com/what-problems-is-open-banking-solving/ |

5 Tips for Cutting Your Losses in Real Estate.
Weekend fun at home together. Rear view of a mixed race couple standing in the garden, embracing and looking at the house
Don't Chase After Your Cash.
To avoid losing their earnest money, some investors who have put a few thousand dollars down on a deal that suddenly makes no sense have decided to close on it anyway and try to salvage the deal. Instead of throwing more money into a losing situation, sometimes the best financial strategy is to let the deal go.
Having "escape" clauses in your contract is highly beneficial. Just don't become known as the investor who uses those clauses all the time. You'll lose credibility and won't be taken seriously as an investor.
Establish Your Walk-Away Point.
There are many moving parts in business, but in the end, it's all about the numbers. It makes no financial sense to offer or spend too much money to rehab a property. To be successful, you must spend less than the property's price and thus make a profit.
Choosing your exit strategy is essential, but you must stick to it. In the real estate arenas I've worked in (including short sales), it's easy to keep pursuing a deal after you've invested a significant amount of time and possibly money in it.
It's better to move on to another deal that makes sense. It's much easier said than done!
Have a variety of exit options.
It might be quite beneficial to have both a Plan A and a Plan B. We've remodeled a house a few times just to have the local market take an unexpected turn.
We could either sell the property and lose money or rent it out.
Although we don't usually earn as much money upfront as if we sold at the total price, it can turn a break-even or losing business into a profit maker.
Collaborate.
Bringing in a money or credit partner may make sense if the loss can be made up quickly and the arrangement becomes lucrative. Confirm that there is enough profit to go around once the deal is completed so that neither of you loses money.
Keep yourself educated and informed about the current market.
Some things may have affected the market just because it was wonderful a year ago. It's critical to stay informed about the current real estate market in order to make informed selections about what's a good deal and what's not.
Attending Real Estate Investor Associations, Title Company, and Realtor Courses provided to investors are excellent ways to stay current.
Remember, if you've been in the real estate market long enough, you'll come across a deal that started off terrific but ended up being a dump. I hope one or more of these tactics can assist you in navigating a deal that has gone bad or is about to go bad.

Summary
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the teeth furthest away in the dental arches and are usually the last ones to erupt. Studies have shown that wisdom teeth are not the main cause of tooth movement and that extraction is not intended to prevent the movements of other teeth over time. However, it is important to extract semi-impacted teeth or semi-impacted teeth that present a higher risk of infection and decay in the mid or long term.
Summary
Wisdom tooth extraction is a procedure that involves making an incision in the gum tissue and removing bone, and can result in a painful dry socket, infection, or damage to nearby teeth, nerves, jawbone or sinuses. The procedure is usually performed as an outpatient procedure, and the patient should follow instructions from the hospital or dental clinic staff on what to do before and after the procedure. Complications can include pain, infection, and damage to nearby teeth, nerves, jawbone or sinuses, so it is important to follow the instructions of the dentist or oral surgeon.
Summary
Wisdom teeth can still break through or erupt in early adulthood, and can cause pain in the upper or lower jaw or gum disease. Symptoms of impacted wisdom teeth can include pain, dry socket, subperiosteal abscess, and bacterial infections. To avoid problems with wisdom teeth, it is important to brush and floss them regularly and see a dentist regularly. | eng | 31ed5178-8ab2-4e45-8ee8-5bd6319fe5c7 | https://neeva.com/massets/ask-neeva/can-a-wisdom-tooth-fall-out.html |
MARRIAGE goes back to the beginning of the human race. In the garden of Eden Jehovah God married the first human pair, Adam and Eve. (Gen. 2:22-25) Marriage is the only way that God approves for men and women to live together and set up families. (1 Cor. 6:18; 7:9) As an institution of Jehovah, "the happy God," marriage should be an arrangement that brings happiness to a couple.—1 Tim. 1:11.
But today many marriages do not reflect the happiness that God purposed. In the United States alone there are now two divorces for every five new marriages. Many couples prefer to live together out of wedlock rather than to risk the chance of breakup after marriage.
Jehovah's witnesses present a refreshing contrast to this. Their marriages and family life are remarkably stable in a world of dwindling moral values. Not that the Witnesses are free from all marital problems. But, for the most part, they are able to cope with their problems and to keep them to a minimum. How do they accomplish this? For one thing, Jehovah's witnesses try to get marriage off to a good start.
The wedding itself affords an opportunity for this. Before the marriage vows are taken, a qualified minister reviews with the bride and groom the Bible's counsel for successful marriage and family life. Let us look in on what is said at typical weddings of Jehovah's witnesses. A minister who recently performed a wedding in New York addressed the couple as follows:
"They Must Become One Flesh"
"Marriage was first established by the Creator of the human race, Jehovah God. After reviewing God's animal creation in the garden of Eden, the first man Adam found that he had no companion like himself. Though perfect physically and mentally, Adam felt incomplete. Therefore God said: 'It is not good for the man to continue by himself. I am going to make a helper for him, as a complement of him.' (Gen. 2:18) God then created Eve and 'proceeded . . . to bring her to the man,' uniting them in wedlock. (Gen. 2:22) The Bible then says: 'That is why a man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh.'—Gen. 2:24.
"Did you note that God's Word states: 'A man will . . . stick to his wife'? Jehovah God views marriage as a permanent arrangement. It is not something that you can agree on today but change your mind on at a later date. Only where one partner commits adultery does the Bible allow for divorce.—Matt. 19:9.
"A man's place after marriage is with his wife, not with his fleshly father or his mother or with friends. Your wife will now become your closest partner in life. From now on you must consider her in everything you do. She is a part of you. You have become 'one flesh' in God's eyes.
"This unity may be illustrated by a healthy human body. The body never fights with itself. The hand does not hurt the foot, nor does the eye harm the ear. Rather, the body members complement one another, each supplying what another lacks. But to achieve this oneness you must submit to the influence of a most important third party in your marriage.
The Third Party to Marriage
"Have you considered that of all the people who observe your wedding today the most important witness is Jehovah God? God must figure prominently in your marriage, for the Bible states: 'Whatever you are doing, work at it whole-souled as to Jehovah, and not to men.' (Col. 3:23) You are accepting marriage responsibilities before Jehovah and he expects you to work hard to fulfill them as to him. The principles contained in God's Word will help you to do that, providing perfect guidelines for you in your relationship with each other. Make Bible study a regular part of your life together.
"In addition to this, it is good for married couples to pray together regularly. The Scriptures admonish: 'Pray incessantly.' (1 Thess. 5:17) Does this mean only personal prayer with no one but Jehovah listening? While private prayer to God at any time is very beneficial, there are occasions when prayers of a husband and wife can be united. For example, in addition to mealtimes, every night before retiring affords an opportunity for you to pray together. Your husband is fully able to express the thoughts of both of you at least once a day in the evening. This will have the effect of drawing you closer together, and both of you closer to God. And there is so much for which to thank Jehovah at the end of a day."
A Wholesome Relationship at Home
A large part of the lives of married couples is spent at home. What type of atmosphere should exist in the home? The speaker at a different wedding made the following observations:
"If you apply Bible principles as a married couple, your love for each other will continue to grow. You will find yourselves attracted to each other, not only physically, but especially because of the godly qualities that you see in your partner. However, as imperfect creatures, you will surely get on each other's nerves from time to time. How should you react when this happens?
"Ephesians 4:29, 32 provides excellent counsel: 'Let a rotten saying not proceed out of your mouth, but whatever saying is good for building up as the need may be. . . . become kind to one another, tenderly compassionate, freely forgiving one another just as God also by Christ freely forgave you.'
"While Jehovah God views a married couple as 'one flesh,' this does not mean that marriage is a fifty-fifty proposition. Each partner must be willing to give in more than halfway when problems arise. And they will arise, for you both will face pressures daily.
"For example, when a man is out working, people are sometimes unkind or even downright nasty. As a wife does her housework or cares for children, some days it seems that everything goes wrong. This can give rise to tension and create a 'need' for sayings that are 'good for building up,' as the apostle Paul put it. (Eph. 4:29) Will your homelife provide such a refreshing atmosphere? Each of you must put forth extra effort to make it that way, especially if you feel worn out from a trying day.
Responsibilities of Husband and Wife
"The Bible, at Ephesians 5:23, likens the responsibility of a husband toward his wife to that of Christ toward the Christian congregation. We read: 'A husband is head of his wife as the Christ also is head of the congregation.'
"What does a husband's headship involve? Ephesians 5:28, 29 points to an important aspect of it: 'Husbands ought to be loving their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself, for no man ever hated his own flesh; but he feeds and cherishes it, as the Christ also does the congregation.' You have been caring for yourself for many years. You keep yourself neat and clean, warm and well fed. Now you must do the same for your wife. This includes providing a home for her. It does not have to be a big house, but a place adequate for the needs of the family.
"How should wives respond to the headship of their husbands? Ephesians 5:22 says: 'Let wives be in subjection to their husbands as to the Lord.' Eph 5 Verse 24 adds: 'In fact, as the congregation is in subjection to the Christ, so let wives also be to their husbands in everything.'
"This is no harsh arrangement in which a husband becomes a dictator. First Corinthians 11:3 reminds husbands that they, too, are subject to higher authority, saying: 'But I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ.' Women, too, are to be subject first of all to Jehovah God and Christ Jesus. A wife's subjection to her husband is, therefore, not absolute but relative.
"A woman in subjection to her husband recognizes that God expects her husband to make the major decisions in the family. Of course, your husband will talk matters over with you and get your viewpoint. He may even decide to do what you suggest. But he must pay the bills and this can affect his decisions at times.
"A woman who is properly in subjection to her husband is beautiful in the eyes of God. It is as if she were wearing a special type of clothing. How so? Note how the apostle Peter, at 1 Peter 3:3, 4 counsels wives: 'And do not let your adornment be that of the external braiding of the hair and of the putting on of gold ornaments or the wearing of outer garments, but let it be the secret person of the heart in the incorruptible apparel of the quiet and mild spirit, which is of great value in the eyes of God.' Unlike material clothing that wears out, these qualities never lose their pleasantness to God. They can make a husband love his wife more after decades of marriage than on their wedding day, although you may find that hard to believe now.
"A Capable Wife"
"Proverbs 31:10-31 describes 'a capable wife' whose 'value is far more than that of corals.' It would be beneficial for all wives, especially those newly married, to study this material carefully. Let us consider some highlights, beginning at Pr 31 verse 14:
"'She has proved to be like the ships of a merchant. From far away she brings in her food.' I can just see your wife traveling a good distance with her shopping cart to search out bargains in the stores. And how necessary that is today with prices continually rising.
"Pr 31 Verses 15 and 17 point out: 'She also gets up while it is still night, and gives food to her household. . . . She has girded her hips with strength, and she invigorates her arms.' What could call for more vigor in a woman than keeping a house neat and clean, caring for children and preparing tasty, economical meals on time? Add to this, sewing of buttons on clothes, darning socks and all the other things required of a good homemaker and you realize that a wife has a big job.
"But how rewarding for a wife who puts the counsel of God's Word to work in her life! Pr 31 Verse 30 states: 'Charm may be false, and prettiness may be vain; but the woman that fears Jehovah is the one that procures praise for herself.' What a fine reward! A woman whose conduct shows that she fears Jehovah procures praise from her husband, from those acquainted with her, and, most importantly, from God himself."
Counsel for Happy Marriage Available to You
A wedding talk is not the only occasion for Jehovah's witnesses to receive counsel on these matters. Their magazines, books and booklets regularly discuss marriage and the responsibilities of family members toward one another. Some recent articles of this type appearing in The Watchtower and Awake! were entitled "Is God in Your Marriage?", "Woman's Regard for Headship—How Demonstrated?", "Is Divorce the Answer?".
Jehovah's witnesses not only read this kind of material on a personal basis, but frequently study it at their congregation meetings. In fact, just recently they studied together the articles "Are Your Children Christ's Disciples?" and "Finding Joy in Training Children," which appeared in The Watchtower. Would you enjoy attending such Bible discussions at your local Kingdom Hall? You are cordially invited. In fact, feel free to contact Jehovah's witnesses at any time.
Getting marriage off to a good start is an important factor in a healthy, enduring relationship. Even if you have been married for many years, applying Bible principles will result in a happier, more meaningful marriage and family life. | eng | a775c063-688a-4453-bcfc-b3ca4d0ce837 | https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/101974361#h=21:0-22:575 |

Using AI to Defy the Big Mortgage Document Challenge
In this webinar, we'll talk about and show some exciting concepts in Financial Services intelligent automation that focus on having applications take over the laborious chore of document ingestion, classification and data extraction through the use of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning.
If you aren't familiar with Ephesoft, we specialize in using AI and machine learning to make sense of unstructured data in the form of documents. We have two products: Ephesoft Transact and Ephesoft Insight – the first is focused on transactional document processing that is usually tied to a business process while the later, Ephesoft Insight, is a big data analytics platform that converts large document repositories into meaningful and actionable data.
The Problem
Every day, every organization on the planet deals with the same, painful issue. They receive documents in all forms from a variety of external sources: mail, email, uploads, scans, mobile, acquired or transferred content. The challenge is that each type of document needs to be manually examined, analyzed, classified, routed and then the important data is extracted and transferred. A simple example is when part of a mortgage packet is sent via an email. It gets opened, examined, renamed, saved and the data is manually entered into a system of record. What happens if that packet has multiple documents? What if pages or signature are missing? This very basic individual process has a huge impact on organizations.
Let's look at the problem on a grand scale for a financial services organization. Document ingestion and creation never stops. Daily, massive volumes of documents cross the organizational boundary. Internally, users and systems create new content through their daily efforts, scanning and interaction with systems. Pile this on top of the pre-existing content, content acquired through mergers and acquisitions, and the problem continues to multiply.
To cope, organizations hire more and more processors to keep up. They implement complex technical solutions that work fine on day one, but are often inflexible and rigid and cannot keep up with the pace of change. Or it only handles inbound documents from one source. Processing can get even more painful, and in many cases organizations just can't wrap their hands around the problem, or don't have systems for capturing documents and automating the process. This survey of business executive from AIIM outlines the low percentage of organizations that have multi-channel systems that can automate the document ingestion process.
Mortgage Pain
In no area is this pain more pronounced than in processing mortgage documents. With a massive and broad array of document types, varying form versions and different state requirements, it is difficult for even the most seasoned knowledge worker to ingest these documents. Add the fact that many of the documents are poor quality and they are typically provided in bundled PDFs or TIFFs, or large paper stacks, and they consume endless hours of processing. Compounding all of the above is the fact that you can't just hire temps to process. Mortgages and their associated documents are complex and involved, and understanding all the relevant components is not learned in a day. Staff turnover and the need to add people to process more just is not an option.
In today's FinServe environment, the customer expects fast service and immediate results, but there are a number of disruptors. Rapid turn cycles for mortgages, account openings and all other functions are the norm instead of the exception. To be competitive, efficiency and speed are imperative.
How do we fix it with AI and Machine Learning?
There are core technologies that can automate human tasks and relieve the pain. When we talk about AI, most people envision the Terminator or HAL from A Space Odyssey. But by definition, AI is a system that performs tasks normally performed by humans. In our case, and for the purposes of this webinar, the task is the processing of incoming documents.
Machine learning is a branch of AI, whereby a system is trained using sample data. There are two types: supervised (SML) and unsupervised machine learning (UML). SML is the most common form of machine learning and is like a student-teacher relationship. We provide known samples as input data and know the result or required output. An example would be training a system to identify pictures of mammals. We provide input photos of bears, foxes and lions (because we know what they are), and use algorithms that tie the name or label to the input data (photo). In UML, often associated with true artificial intelligence, the machine identifies patterns on its own without supervision of guidance from humans. Using the example above, when you feed it 20 pictures of mammals, and it begins to group, or cluster, them into similar buckets. Essentially, we give the machine a data set and let it analyze, infer and find hidden structure. The systems we talk about in this webinar are SML based.
Limited Human Intervention
The good news is, the process can be fixed with the mentioned technology. If you examine the inbound document process, you can quickly identify the key chokepoints:
We need to solve the multi-channel document collection problem and provide a process that can tap into any source
The core functions of document analysis are repetitive, and can be replaced through an artificial intelligence technology supported through supervised machine learning
Only use humans for exception processing to train the system so it gets smarter
Finally, to reduce costs and decrease time to value, a prebuilt model is key
Having a "gate master" as a main controlled point of entry for all incoming documents is critical. This allows content to be consumed from any source and creates a standardized, repeatable path where all content is normalized and then passed to the AI processing engine for analysis. This engine is pre-trained using supervised machine learning to perform analysis, just as a human user would.
Here's how the process and technology works.
Classification
The first step after import the system performs and automates is classification. Just as a human knowledge worker would examine documents, the application applies its learned model to figure out when one document ends and another begins. It auto-classifies, or identifies the document type and all the pages contained within. This function allows documents to be captured in bulk bundles, such as large PDFs or paper stacks, and does all the heavy lifting in short order that would take a human worker extensive time and effort.
Separation
Once the system has identified all the documents in the train of pages it receives, it categorizes them into individual sets. This process is similar to the task a human would perform on a stack of documents that need to be split, called separation. Separation provides the ability to output individual documents as the end result of the process. When you combine classification and separation in this automated form, using your SML model, you create massive time savings and efficiency, especially when dealing with large multi-document PDFs or large volumes of paper files. This combined process also preps the documents for our next automated step.
Extraction
Manual data entry is the next human process we can tackle. Using rule sets tied to our classification, we can now auto-extract data of interest from the document. These rules can differ and vary per document, and the technology eliminates the need for a worker to manually enter data, manually name a document, or manually create folders. This data can now be routed to multiple destinations such as an LOS or repository.
Validation/Exceptions
Manual data entry by knowledge workers can also have a high rate of error. With smart document capture, rules can be built to catch documents missing pages and low-quality data and as well as data that doesn't match what the machine expects. This process of validation and exceptions processing can eliminate errant data, format information and insure high quality. Note: this is the only step that requires human intervention, and these queues can be used to train the system further through an easy to use SML interface.
The Ephesoft Solution
We've now covered the technology required for the fix. Now let's see how Ephesoft provides the means to automate the process.
Patented Analytics & Supervised Machine Learning
Our technology takes a holistic view of documents, just like humans. If I were to hand you three mortgage documents, an application, a bank statement and a credit report, you would scan the pages and look for identifying items to ascertain what they were. To achieve the intelligence required to perform a task like mortgage processing, when the system is trained, we look at patterns, the roots and stems of words, fonts, layout, and in total 21 different dimensions to learn how to classify and extract.
In Ephesoft Transact for Mortgage solution, we have implemented a pre-built model for over 600 common document types for classification out of the box. It automatically and accurately classifies and separates documents, before validating and exporting them into loan origination systems (LOS) like Ellie Mae and Mortgage Cadence, along with others.
This technology provides immense value, and the unstructured to structured process provides automation and efficiency, reducing the time to process and required personnel, insuring accurate extraction and valid, clean data, and all the while getting smarter and smarter through operator interaction and learning. In addition to the core operational benefits, Ephesoft Transact for Mortgage was built in the cloud. Therefore, companies can rapidly deploy the solution, and immediately start gaining value and efficiency. The offering is flexible, and can be scaled for small and large organization alike | eng | 448b3b2f-ea42-4b01-9582-c15a05c370f2 | https://ephesoft.com/blog/using-ai-defy-big-mortgage-document-challenge/ |

Does Grapes Increase Hemoglobin
Grapes Increase Hemoglobin
Yes, grapes do help in increasing Hemoglobin, but along with grapes intake our diet too matters. Eating grape fruit is more effective than any other form of grapes. Always eat food in moderation and avoid eating junk & late night.
There is no scientific proof that grapes directly raise blood levels of haemoglobin as of my last update in September 2021. Red blood cells include a protein called haemoglobin, which is responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to other body areas. It is essential for the transfer of oxygen and is frequently used as a gauge of the general health of the blood.
Although grapes are healthy and rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, no one grape ingredient has been shown to significantly increase haemoglobin levels. A balanced diet, however, may promote general health, including the maintenance of normal haemoglobin levels. This includes a variety of nutrient-rich foods, such as fruits like grapes.
It is crucial to speak with a skilled healthcare provider if you have concerns about your haemoglobin levels or any other area of your health since they can offer individualised advice and suggestions based on your particular requirements and medical background. To determine your haemoglobin levels and treat any potential problems, they might do blood tests.
Does grapes increase blood count?
Like many other fruits, grapes are a wholesome snack that is packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Although they can not directly raise blood counts, they can promote general health, which in turn can help to keep blood counts in a healthy range.
The amount of different blood cell types in your bloodstream, such as red blood cells (which carry oxygen), white blood cells (which fight infections), and platelets (which help with blood clotting), is referred to as your blood count. A healthy, nutrient-rich diet is crucial for the development and correct operation of these blood cells.
Iron, vitamin C, and vitamin K are just a few of the vitamins and minerals found in grapes that are crucial for making blood cells. For instance, vitamin C facilitates the absorption of iron from plant-based diets, which is necessary for the development of red blood cells. Grape antioxidants may also aid in preventing blood cell deterioration.
While eating grapes can support overall blood health, it's important to keep in mind that a balanced diet should also include a variety of foods, such as vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and other fruits, to make sure you get all the nutrients you need for a healthy blood count and overall wellbeing.
It is essential to speak with a healthcare expert if you are worried about your blood count or have any other health-related concerns so that they can offer personalised advice based on your unique requirements and medical background. To evaluate your blood count and treat any potential problems, they can also run blood tests.
Is grapes good for anemia?
Due to their vitamin content, grapes can be helpful for those who have anaemia, but they shouldn't be used as a stand-alone therapy for the illness. Anaemia is a disorder marked by a lack of red blood cells or haemoglobin in the blood, which can cause symptoms including exhaustion, weakness, and paleness as well as a diminished ability to deliver oxygen.
Several minerals found in grapes can help people with anaemia:
Iron: Iron, an essential mineral for the formation of haemoglobin, is found in trace amounts in grapes. Red blood cells contain a protein called haemoglobin, which binds to oxygen and carries it across the body.
Vitamin C: Non-heme iron, which is present in plant-based meals like grapes, is more easily absorbed in the intestines thanks to vitamin C, which is contained in grapes. Iron absorption can be enhanced by consuming vitamin C-rich meals coupled with foods high in iron.
While adding grapes to one's diet might be beneficial for someone with anaemia, it's important to keep in mind that anaemia is a complicated disorder that can have a number of underlying reasons. Finding the precise kind and cause of anaemia is essential, as is receiving the proper medical assessment and treatment.
It is crucial to speak with a healthcare provider for a correct diagnosis and individualised treatment if you have anaemia or have been diagnosed with it. Based on your particular requirements, they can assist in identifying the underlying cause of the anaemia and creating a treatment strategy that may involve dietary adjustments, iron supplements, or other therapies.
Do grapes give you iron?
Yes, there is a little amount of iron in grapes. The formation of haemoglobin, the protein in red blood cells that transports oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body, depends critically on iron, a vital element.
Contrasted to foods like red meat, lentils, and leafy greens, grapes are not a particularly rich source of iron, but they nevertheless add to your daily iron consumption. To keep proper levels of iron in the body, it can be helpful to eat a range of iron-rich foods, even ones with lesser quantities of iron, like grapes.
It's vital to understand that non-heme iron, which is present in plant-based meals like grapes but is not as easily absorbed by the body as heme iron, is present in these foods. It is advisable to combine iron-rich meals with sources of vitamin C in order to improve the absorption of non-heme iron. For instance, citrus fruits that are high in vitamin C and can assist enhance the absorption of iron from plant-based sources, such as oranges or strawberries, can be enjoyed with grapes.
It's crucial to speak with a healthcare provider if you have questions about your iron consumption or believe you may have an iron deficit. They can determine your iron levels and offer suitable advice and suggestions for your particular needs.
How many grapes can I eat a day?
Your age, general health, preferred diet, and any existing medical concerns will all have an impact on how many grapes you may safely consume each day. Grapes are a fruit that may be a healthy addition to a diet if taken in moderation, just like any other meal.
According to common guidelines, one cup of grapes, or around 32 seedless grapes, constitutes one serving. This serving has around 104 calories and is a good source of antioxidants, potassium, vitamin C, and vitamin K.
One to two servings (about 32 to 64 grapes) are generally regarded as an acceptable quantity for most individuals if you love eating grapes on a daily basis.

The Bitcoin Debate: Exploring the Pros and Cons of the Cryptocurrency Phenomenon
Bitcoin is a form of digital currency that has been making headlines for the last few years. It has experienced its ups and downs. However, despite the volatility, many people are becoming more interested in it.
If you plan to invest in Bitcoin, knowing what you are getting into is essential. First, you should know that investing in Bitcoin isn't for the faint of heart, and just like any other investment, it has pros and cons. Here, we will take a closer look at why Bitcoin has created such a division in today's society.
Bitcoin: A Love and Hate Relationship?
But first, what is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a currency that you can use to pay for goods and services, just like USD or Euro. However, that's the only similarity between Bitcoin and traditional currencies. What makes Bitcoin different?
Decentralized: There is no government or bank that controls the supply of Bitcoins.
Digital: There is no physical Bitcoin. The currency exists entirely online and uses blockchain technology to support peer-to-peer transactions.
Pseudo-Anonymous: Transactions go on a public ledger called the blockchain, and the identity of the people behind those transactions is not revealed. Instead, transactions tie to unique addresses, essentially random strings of letters and numbers.
Bitcoin: A Long List of Advantages
Even though Bitcoin started trading in 2009, people still consider it a relatively new form of currency. As a result, there is a lot of misinformation out there about it. Knowing the advantages of Bitcoin can help you determine whether it's an investment that suits you. Consider the following:
Accessibility and Liquidity
One of the advantages of Bitcoin is that it's easily accessible and versatile. Transferring this currency from one user to another takes only a few minutes, so you can use it to buy goods and services from online businesses that accept Bitcoin.
Privacy
Transactions do not contain any personal information like a name and credit card number. Even though it's still possible to link a person to a specific wallet, Bitcoin transactions are usually more private than credit card transactions.
Growth Potential
Many investors buy and hold BTC, believing that more people will trust and use it once the currency matures. If and when that happens, the currency value will increase.
24/7 Availability
Bitcoin trading does not close over the weekend or in the afternoon the way traditional financial markets do. You can buy or sell Bitcoin 24/7. That's the beauty of a decentralized system.
Disadvantages and Limitations of the Cryptocurrency
Despite Bitcoin becoming popular and widely used, there are some drawbacks you should know about. Here's why a significant portion of the world population is still unsure about the cryptocurrency.
Volatility
When Bitcoin came into existence, it had a set limit of 21 million Bitcoins. That's why many people regard Bitcoin as being scarce. But this scarcity is what makes Bitcoin so valuable. Aside from that, it makes the prices extremely volatile. Furthermore, the Bitcoin market is relatively small and reacts strongly to news and events, causing sudden and dramatic price fluctuations.
Hacking Concerns
Although backers claim that the blockchain technology behind Bitcoin is very secure compared to traditional electronic money transfers, there have been some cases of hacks. For example, in May 2019, over $40 million worth of Bitcoin was stolen from Binance, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges.
Conclusion
So, is a Bitcoin investment worth it? Even though the cryptocurrency has birthed a few millionaires (and even billionaires), many still view it as a risky trade. Either way, it's essential to do your own research before committing or disregarding it completely. Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to Bitcoin | eng | f2957b93-221a-478b-80f6-943115dc424b | https://kinfolklife.com/pros-and-cons-of-cryptocurrency-phenomenon/ |

Almost 3 years ago, as the "selfie" craze was just kicking off, I wrote a short how-to book with tips for taking great self-portraits on the go. Little did anyone realize then how commonplace selfies would become!
Most parents have approximately 47 gazillion iPhone photos of their kids backed up in a folder somewhere on their computer. (Yes, that's a real figure.) Why do we snap all these photos, and store them? What drives it?
If there's anything I hear often, it's that people wish they had captured the time right after their baby arrived. So, I'm now offering Fresh 48 photo sessions, in the hospital or at home, to document the newest moments with your baby.

The issue of land rights for tea plantation workers is also not clear. The government has given tea garden land to grow tea but it has been found that other crops are also grown there. Apart from this, no proper initiative to send the children of tea workers to school can be noticed. Journalists from various media were present at the event. | eng | cb72a4b8-411b-460e-b8cc-e02cafb0d394 | https://bilsbd.org/news/publication-of-research-report-on-the-rights-of-women-tea-workers-and-their-existing-situation-of-decent-work/ |

I was originally planning to get the KH 20" wheelset and put a Summit frame on it-- I already have a spare Miyata seat and some pedals. Price= $320 Plus shipping
I then realized that the Onza seems like a very good setup as well, coming in (the whole uni) at $350 plus shipping.
So Which one's better? I want a uni that will last, especially since I plan on getting better and using it for harder and harder stuff. I think that as far as the hub/cranks go, the Onza seems a bit better, but my original intention was to save money. It seems like maybe I should just go with whatever is better.
one thing to note however,as a person that is always paying attention to detail i have noticed the KH20 wheel set being sold at $242 isnt the KH wheel set at all,its a Summit wheel set.the KH wheel has black spokes,the Summit has chrome.
Agree the price seems much more attractive than the Onza. I'm just wondering what the "true cost" is of those little protuberances…everyone talks about them, but do they reall cause ankle problems? Do you tend to compensate around them if you're better? I stink at trials right now, which is why I want to buy one so I can practice and get better. Just fearing the pain from those cranks…
[/i]i have noticed the KH20 wheel set being sold at $242 isnt the KH wheel set at all,its a Summit wheel set.the KH wheel has black spokes,the Summit has chrome.
[/QUOTE]
John's disclaimer seems to be saying that the only differences are weight and spokes…do the different spokes make it a "Summit Wheel set"? I'd think the rim, hub, cranks, and protuberances would be the main features that define the wheel. Being a newbie to spoke-science, I'm wondering how much of an effect the different spoke type have.
Originally posted by jagur the point is,its a Summit wheel not a KH wheel like as advertised.
Yup, I get the bait 'n switch part. I'm still wondering how much of an effect the different spoke type has. It was meant as a legit question, not just an attempt to nickel and dime your assertion to death.
Originally posted by tomblackwood John's disclaimer seems to be saying that the only differences are weight and spokes…do the different spokes make it a "Summit Wheel set"?
It gets messy when you have different mixes of components, all often from the same factory or source, being sold with different names on them. If there's a frame attached, and especially if that frame has a sticker on it, it's easy. But when it's just components, sometimes the distinction of names gets meaningless.
The KH and Summit hubs are the same (I'm assuming). You can sell them under different names, but it can lead to confusion. Is the difference between the two wheelsets being discussed only in spoke color? Or is this just an assumption based on pictures on the Unicycle.com Web site? The pictures are what we must go by when making our buying decisions, but sometimes they are not the exact stuff being shipped. That's a separate issue.
So let's say I have a Summit splined axle, and a KH splined axle. Assuming they're exactly the same piece of hardware, is the KH one worth more than the other? I think it could command a higher price to an unknowing market.
And then, would that price be "wrong?" No. Without Kris Holm, there would be no splined Summit axle. Period. Charging more for the name is perfectly reasonable. | eng | 7d9cdacf-3ee1-4b98-859e-08e1a72da264 | https://unicyclist.com/t/possible-future-trials-setup-recommendations/57048 |
So I've been reading on steam but also some times on the forum that some people are getting banned for buying founder items of auction house and then later getting banned because that person who put the item up for sale on AH refunded the founder pack and get banned and it chained banned the person who brought the item of the AH too , If I read correctly it's because founder items are linked to the account by a sources code even when sold on the auction house , so when they items are refunded by the original owner and there account is banned for terms of service the person who also brought the item and has the original owners source code in there inventory they also get chain banned for terms of servers so this is also probably why some people are getting banned for nothing , just be careful when you buy skins from founder packs I guess , also pray that amazon do something about this
Just want to repost this here; I already put it in another thread. I just wanted to let everyone know what helped for me.
Hey everyone! I was part of the early March ban and here is some tips I have for you. (unbanned now)
make the obvious web appeal
follow up with live chat and request a ticket be created. (I waited from March 2 to March 5th before finding out I didn't even have a ticket) one that ticket was actually made. It has a V####### it seems like the ball got rolling
Create a Steam support ticket referencing your V number. My case was for a refund ban so obviously Steam could also see I didn't refund.
These should help to set the groundwork. I know it's frustrating I spent every day in live chats. Found emails and phone numbers to call etc. wrote on the Facebook page etc. none of that mattered. Just try and get that V# | eng | 8a5bc576-aa92-41d6-9218-9fc74086d3bf | https://forums.playlostark.com/t/people-getting-banned-for-founders-refunding/267129 |

You may qualify for various kinds of incentives, such as cash back, discounts or credit towards your monthly utility bill, depending on your situation. Certain incentives come from your specific utility company, county or municipality, some from the state of California and others from the federal government. Types of solar incentives might include:
Tax Credits: Tax credits lower, dollar-for-dollar, the amount of income tax you owe the government. These are different from tax deductions.
Rebates: Solar rebates might be provided by your county or state, or by your local utility company. These rebates work as cash back that is applied after you pay for solar panels and before tax credits are calculated.
Net Metering: Net metering becomes relevant once your solar system is up and running.

Everything You Need to Know About The Invisible Folder: A Useful Device for Ultimate Data Security
Have you ever heard of the invisible folder? It's one of the most effective ways to store data and keep it hidden from prying eyes. Are you able to create one on your computer or smartphone? For total data protection, this useful device is for you. Users may create a secret folder to store sensitive or confidential documents. These folders may be recognised by a 'secret' icon but are invisible in a standard directory listing. In this post, you will find out how to make an invisible folder. If they've previously created hidden files, folders, and drives, users may reveal them with special software.
Did you know the invisible folder is one of the most secure ways to store data and keep it completely hidden from prying eyes? Do you know how to create one on your computer or smartphone? If not, read on for everything you need to know about this useful device for ultimate data security. Users can create an invisible folder to keep important or secret documents. These folders are marked with a 'secret' icon but cannot be seen in a normal directory listing. As you'll discover in this article, there are two ways to create an invisible folder. Users can also use special software to reveal hidden files, folders and drives if they have previously created them as invisible ones.
What is an Invisible Folder?
An invisible folder is a type of folder that cannot be seen in a normal directory listing. A secret folder marked with a 'secret' icon but cannot be seen in a normal directory listing. Invisible folders are very useful for storing sensitive and private information that you don't want others to access. Invisible folders are created by setting the folder's attributes to 'hidden'. An operating system normally hides some folders by default, but you can also use special software to hide other folders you don't want prying eyes to see.
How to Create an Invisible Folder
If you are using Windows, create an invisible folder as follows: In Windows Explorer, select 'Tools', 'Folder Options', 'View', and un-check the 'Show hidden files and folders' box. Click 'OK' to close the Folder Options window. You can also go to 'Control Panel', 'Appearance and Personalization', 'Folder Options', click 'View', and un-check the 'Show hidden files and folders' box. If you are using macOS, create an invisible folder as follows: In Finder, select 'File', 'New Folder', and un-check the 'Show this folder on the sidebar' box. If you don't see this option, you can also go to 'File', 'New Folder', and un-check the 'Open dialog shows' box.
Why Encrypt Data?
While the extent of data encryption varies widely across industries, it is essential for protecting information in certain sectors such as healthcare, finance or defense. Encryption is the process of converting data into a different format that is unreadable unless the correct decryption key is applied to it. Encryption is a critical component of data security and privacy best practices. It ensures that data can only be accessed by authorized users and that it cannot be read if it is lost, stolen or accidentally deleted.
z
Three Reasons for Creating an Invisible Folder
- Data Backup - You can store a copy of your sensitive data in an invisible folder. If you accidentally delete it, the data is still there and you can restore it. - Prevent Interruption - Prevent any interruptions by setting your computer to hide an invisible folder. That way, you can store anything in that folder without accidentally deleting it. - Safely Share Data - You can share the invisible folder without sharing the actual folder. For example, if you have a secret report that you want to share with your co-workers, you can place it in an invisible folder.
How to Create an Invisible Folder in HapPhi
HapPhi is a free and open source software that allows you to create an invisible folder. This software is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and it is easy to use. You can create an invisible folder with HapPhi as follows: - Launch HapPhi and click the 'New' button. - Name your folder and select the 'Hidden folder' option. - Click 'OK' to create the folder. - If you are using Linux, you will be able to see the folder. However, if you are using Windows or Mac, you will be able to see only the folder icon. - To open the invisible folder, go to the root folder, right-click the mouse, and select 'Open a Command Prompt Here'. Type 'cd' and then 'enter' to open the invisible folder. - To remove the invisible folder, right-click it, select 'Delete', and click 'OK'.
Conclusion
Invisible folders are an excellent way to store sensitive data on your computer. Additionally, you can use encryption software to protect the data in invisible folders from falling into the wrong hands. Data encryption ensures that only people with the correct decryption key can access the data in an invisible folder. | eng | be1abeb0-15cb-4fa8-9320-f7d6b35d94c9 | https://www.happhi.com/happhi-blog-posts/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-invisible-folder-a-useful-device-for-ultimate-data-security |

Tooth Sensitivity in Spring Branch & Memorial, Houston, TX
Teeth bleaching, also known as teeth whitening, is a popular cosmetic dental procedure performed at Lifeworks Dental. It's an effective way to brighten your smile and remove stains. However, one common side effect that some patients experience is tooth sensitivity. This blog post will delve into why this happens, how the mechanism works, and what you can do to manage this sensitivity during and after the bleaching process.
Why Does Sensitivity Occur in Teeth Bleaching?
Tooth sensitivity during and after teeth bleaching occurs due to the penetration of the bleaching agent, usually a form of peroxide, into the tooth's enamel and dentin layer. The dentin contains tiny tubes or canals that lead to the tooth's nerve center, known as the pulp. When the bleaching agent gets into these tubes, it can cause the tooth to become sensitive to temperature changes, such as cold air or water.
The Mechanism Behind Tooth Sensitivity in Teeth Bleaching
The bleaching process works by breaking down stains within the tooth to make it appear whiter. The bleaching agent penetrates the enamel to reach the discolored molecules inside the tooth. As the agent reacts with these molecules, it breaks the bonds that hold them together, effectively whitening the tooth.
However, this process can also allow the bleaching agent to reach the dentin layer beneath the enamel. The dentin is connected to the pulp, which houses the tooth's nerve endings. When these nerve endings are exposed to the bleaching agent, it can result in a sensation of sensitivity or even sharp, sudden pain known as "zingers."
Managing Sensitivity During and After Teeth Bleaching
If you experience sensitivity or zingers during the bleaching process, it's important to pause the treatment for several days. This allows the teeth to recover and the sensitivity to subside. During this time, brushing with fluoride gels can help to seal up the pores in the dentin and alleviate the sensitivity. Fluoride can also help to remineralize the teeth, strengthening them against sensitivity.
After the bleaching process, any remaining sensitivity should go away within 2-3 days. If sensitivity persists beyond this time, it's important to contact Lifeworks Dental for a follow-up appointment.
How Long Can Sensitivity Occur For?
The duration of sensitivity can vary from person to person. Some people may experience sensitivity only during the bleaching process, while others may continue to experience it for a few days afterward. In general, however, any sensitivity caused by teeth bleaching should subside within a few days after the treatment is completed.
In conclusion, while tooth sensitivity can be an uncomfortable side effect of teeth bleaching, it is usually temporary and can be managed effectively. At Lifeworks Dental, we are committed to ensuring that your teeth whitening experience is as comfortable and successful as possible. If you have any concerns about tooth sensitivity or teeth bleaching, don't hesitate to reach out to us. | eng | 2125d974-ef67-4450-b3a6-91379714533f | https://www.lifeworksdental.com/services/tooth-sensitivity/ |
Vivienne Maricevic started taking photographs in the 1970s, and chronicled many aspects of New York that were hidden to the outside world, from gay male burlesque shows to live sex shows in Times Square theaters. In short, she persuaded people to do something that no one else had done; she gained access and documented what she saw with her camera.
"I was always attracted to people, places and things that were different. That was the beginning of my photography. This was the mid seventies. It was a very shady and dangerous time. The news was full of stories about a guy who was running around the city with a knife killing people, and I remember hearing sirens all the time. I'd be there in the dark, all hours of the day and night. I was in my early twenties. I was so naïve, but I never felt scared." | eng | 9f4770b2-8b41-43a9-b58c-2dd7e6ad863e | https://drkrm.com/burlesk.html |

The Allure of Bars Enhanced by LED Screens
The evolution of technology has significantly impacted various industries, and the realm of bars and nightlife is no exception. With the rise of LED (Light Emitting Diode) screens, bars around the world have witnessed a digital revolution that has transformed the way patrons experience their favorite watering holes. The integration of LED screens in bars not only enhances visual aesthetics but also revolutionizes entertainment, advertising, and customer engagement. In this article, we explore how the dynamic capabilities of LED screens have elevated the bar experience, creating an immersive environment and captivating audiences like never before.
Visual Spectacle: One of the key advantages of LED screens in bars is their ability to create visually stunning spectacles. These high-resolution displays, ranging from small screens to entire walls, offer a vibrant canvas for bar owners and designers to unleash their creativity. The screens can be used to showcase mesmerizing visuals, eye-catching animations, and live feeds of sports events or music concerts. LED screens not only enhance the ambiance of the bar but also captivate patrons, creating a unique and unforgettable visual experience.
Immersive Entertainment: Gone are the days when bars relied solely on traditional methods of entertainment such as live music or sports screenings. LED screens have revolutionized the entertainment landscape in bars by providing a platform for immersive experiences. Bars can now host interactive trivia nights, gaming tournaments, or even karaoke battles, all enhanced by the dynamic visuals on LED screens. The synchronized combination of sound, visuals, and engaging content creates a captivating atmosphere, drawing patrons deeper into the entertainment and fostering a sense of community.
Enhanced Advertising Opportunities: LED screens in bars offer a powerful advertising medium that goes beyond static posters or flyers. These screens enable bar owners to display dynamic and targeted advertisements, promoting upcoming events, drink specials, or collaborations with brands. The flexibility of LED technology allows for seamless integration of marketing content into the overall bar experience. Advertisements can be strategically placed during quieter moments or intermissions, ensuring maximum visibility and impact. With LED screens, bars can transform into prime advertising spaces, attracting both local businesses and national brands.
Social Media Engagement: In the age of social media, LED screens provide bars with an opportunity to actively engage their patrons online. By displaying customized hashtags or social media handles, bars can encourage patrons to share their experiences on various platforms. This user-generated content creates a buzz around the bar, amplifying its online presence and attracting new customers. Additionally, bars can leverage the screens to display live social media feeds, displaying real-time reactions and comments from patrons, further fostering a sense of community and interactivity.
Real-Time Information and News: LED screens serve as an excellent platform for sharing real-time information and news updates. Bars can display live news feeds, sports scores, stock market updates, or weather forecasts, keeping patrons informed while they enjoy their drinks. This dynamic information display not only adds a practical dimension to the bar experience but also enhances the overall atmosphere, making the venue feel more modern and connected to the world outside.
Conclusion:
The integration of LED screens in bars has ushered in a new era of entertainment and engagement. From visually captivating spectacles to immersive entertainment experiences, the dynamic capabilities of LED screens have transformed the bar scene, providing an interactive and unforgettable atmosphere for patrons. With enhanced advertising opportunities, social media engagement, and real-time information sharing, bars are leveraging this digital revolution to captivate audiences, boost their brand presence, and create a lasting impression. As technology continues to evolve, LED screens will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in shaping the future of bars, ensuring that the allure of nightlife remains at the forefront of innovation and creativity. | eng | 2f0f6466-e633-4cc8-a8ce-ecdcf2bdefa9 | https://ledcoms.com/bars-led-screens/ |

Replacing rigid packaging with flexible packaging allows for a reduction in packaging weight and less plastic usage, in order to optimize energy consumption, space during production, storage and transport. The film is made of highly transparent and fully recyclable polypropylene (PP) and is a flexible alternative to thermoformed trays or containers for food use, saving up to 70% of virgin plastic.
Use of biopolymers obtained, for example, from food waste in flexible packaging
New materials from new resources: a bioplastic has been developed using the main protein from milk by-products, casein, which is renewable, biodegradable, edible and compostable. Dissolving it in water does not lead to any toxicity. It finds major applications in the packaging of single-dose products (solid/powder/tablets/liquids) and for hospital laundry bags.
The idea of using seaweed in the composition of packaging material originated in Indonesia, the world's second largest contributor to the problem of plastic waste in the oceans, with the added interest of helping the local economy, in particular Indonesian seaweed farmers. The outer layer is smooth, just like plastic, but the inside is rough; its characteristic is that it can totally dissolve in the environment or be eaten with the product!
This experiment aims to explore the possibilities of using microbial cellulose, produced through the fermentation (culture) of bacteria and yeasts with fruit and vegetable waste in the field of packaging and disposable products. The end product is a translucent sheet of material, the result of a 'closed-loop' system through a zero-emission process.
This flexible film is formulated from chitin that has been extracted from the shells of crustaceans (mainly langoustines caught in Scottish fisheries) resulting from processing. It has antimicrobial properties, with the ability to extend the shelf life of fresh fish by up to 40%. This solution not only provides a ready-to-use circular economy by giving value to what would have been a waste material and at the same time eliminating single-use plastic from the food system, but also helps to protect food for sale and reduce waste sent to landfill.
Use of recycled materials from post-consumer waste for the production of flexible packaging
The project involved the collaboration of multiple partners from the flexible packaging production chain to create a value chain of plastic waste from food-grade flexible packaging, within the same supply chain, to make a food-grade flowpack for Kit Kat with 30% post-consumer recycled content.
Material substitution to reduce the amount of plastics used in the flexible (and non-flexible) packaging sector
Sylvicta is a pure cellulose translucent paper made solely from renewable raw materials and without the addition of additives, favouring characteristics such as mono-materiality, recyclability, compostability (both industrial and domestic) and biodegradability. Thanks to the application of heat-sealable films, it can be used for envelopes, pouches, flowpacks, stand-up pouches and labels.
Paper-based solution for 100% recyclable freshness-saving packs and pouches. The addition of the shiny copper outer coating, applied by a sublimation and spraying process, not only increases shelf life, but also enables the total elimination of bacteria settling on the film, meeting a growing market demand for safety | eng | 5cfd71ef-d945-4dce-bb69-bdcb4f9b5576 | https://www.flowpack.it/category/focus_en/?lang=en |

OTD: François de Laval arrives in Canada
Bishop François-Xavier de Laval spent the last 50 years of his life in New France, where he became the French colony's first bishop and established many schools. A 1973 stamp marks his 350th birth anniversary.
On today's date in 1659, François de Laval arrived in present-day Canada as vicar apostolic of what was then the French colony of New France.
Laval was appointed vicar apostolic – essentially a bishop – a year earlier, when he was consecrated in the church of the Abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés in Paris by the papal nuncio Cardinal Celio Piccolomini.
Laval took an oath of loyalty to King Louis XIV and sailed for New France on April 13, 1659. He arrived on June 16 and immediately began his work by baptizing a young Huron and giving a dying man his last sacraments.
In 1663, when Louis XIV established the Sovereign Council, the position of bishop became the second most influential role in the French colony, behind only the governor.
As Quebec's first bishop, Laval was influential in establishing many educational institutions (about one parish a year for 30 years) and was also one of the architects of New France. He also used his influence to stymie the trade of alcohol between Europeans and Indigenous populations—something he believed denigrated both cultures.
1973 LAVAL STAMP
Bishop Laval was featured on an eight-cent stamp (Scott #611) issued by Canada's Post Office Department (now Canada Post) in 1973 to commemorate the 350th anniversary of his birth.
The stamp was designed by Gerry Lorange and Michael Fog and printed by Ashton-Potter. The image of Laval is printed in silver on a marine-blue background and is difficult to see. The fine gold text – with Laval's name and birth and death dates – is similarly lost | eng | 0a4db2c1-ea5d-40e7-a2f4-540f5cea98ce | https://canadianstampnews.com/otd-francois-de-laval-arrives-in-canada/ |
