You have to undo operations that have been done to the variable. The opposite of an operation is another operation that gets you back where you started. This is used primarily to get rid of numbers that are combined with a variable so you can solve for the variable in an equation.\nWhen you need to use the opposite of basic operations — addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division — you need to remember how the additive inverse and multiplicative inverse work:\n\n The additive inverse is the number with the opposite sign. So −3 is the additive inverse of 3, and 16 is the additive inverse of −16.

For example, if you have the problem 5x = 20, you have to use an opposite operation to solve for the variable x. \n\n \n\nIn algebra, you use more than just the basic mathematical operations, so when you need to solve an algebra problem using opposite operations, remember this list:\n\n The opposite of addition is subtraction.\n \n The opposite of subtraction is addition.\n \n The opposite of multiplication is division.\n \n The opposite of division is multiplication.\n \n The opposite of taking a square root is squaring (multiplying a value by itself).\n \n The opposite of squaring is taking the square root.\n \n The opposite of cubing is taking the cube root.\n \n","algebra/how-to-solve-linear-equations-with-reciprocals-194212/","hash":"","query":{},"params":{"category1":"academics-the-arts","category2":"math","category3":"algebra","article":"how-to-solve-linear-equations-with-reciprocals-194212"},"fullPath":"/article/academics-the-arts/math/algebra/how-to-solve-linear-equations-with-reciprocals-1942 Solve Linear Equations with Reciprocals
Linear Algebra reciprocal of the number that you're trying to "get rid of" if a fraction is multiplying the variable. You solve linear equations with reciprocals when you see a fraction — it's easier than using multiplication or division.
Here is an example of a fraction multiplying the variable:
Look at the following examples of reciprocals — after the reciprocals, you can see how each, when multiplied together, equals 1.
5 and 1/5 are reciprocals:
−3/7 and −7/3 are reciprocals:
Solving equations in the fewest possible steps is usually preferable.
Example:
Use the following steps to solve for the variable, using reciprocals.
Multiply each side by the reciprocal.
In this example, the variable is multiplied by 4/5. So each side of the equation needs to be multiplied by the reciprocal 5/4.
Reduce and simplify.
On the left side, the 5s and 4s cancel each other out, and on the right side, 12 divided by 4 equals 3, resulting in:
a = 5 × 3
a = 15

Separation Anxiety
Separation anxiety is a condition that affects dogs when they are left alone, causing immense panic and distress.
But worry not, as compassionate and experienced dog trainers, we can help your canine companion gain the confidence they need to conquer this challenge.
Separation anxiety is characterised by behaviours like excessive vocalisation, destructive behaviours, indoor accidents, restlessness, escape attempts, and in severe cases even self harm. These behaviors occur when dogs feel overwhelmed by the absence of their beloved owners.
Imagine the emotional turmoil your dog experiences when left alone.
Separation anxiety can lead to emotional and physical distress, affecting their overall well-being.
It's essential to address this issue to ensure a happier, more balanced life for you and your dog.
Through our specialised training techniques, we focus on empowering dogs to feel secure and self-assured when left alone.
By employing subthreshold training methods and gradually introducing positive experiences and creating a safe routine, we build their confidence, teaching them that being alone is nothing to fear.
As dog professionals, we understand the emotional toll separation anxiety can have on both you and your dog.
Living with a dog that suffers from this condition can be challenging and very trying.
Rest assured, we are here to offer understanding, guidance, support and effective solutions to make life easier for both you and your beloved pet.
IMAGINE!
A future where your dog greets each day with confidence and joy, even when left home alone. | eng | 362e3a07-323c-4c01-83c9-ee1dd67b5f4a | https://www.hudsonstailsandtrails.co.uk/separation-anxiety |
Lesson 2 – Clean up your Mechanics
Dogs are masters of discrimination; they recognize patterns faster than you can imagine and so we must be smarter trainers than they are and have clean mechanics.
If you mark your dog for a behaviour at the same time you are reaching into your pocket for the treat, what exactly is your dog learning? Not much. They are not seeing a predictive pattern of MARK > REACH > FEED reward. Instead, they are going to focus on the hand reaching for the food and the mark will mean nothing to them.
We're going to practice our mechanics together so that you can build some "muscle memory" and (try to) stay ahead of your dog.

How does a streaming device work and do you need one?
Everyone seems to either have a smart TV or some sort of a streaming device attached to their television. If you haven't, you might want to know how does a streaming device work and if you need one.
The term streaming devices includes everything from Apple TV, which looks like a mini set-up top box, to the Google Chromecast and Amazon Fire TV Stick. Not to forget Roku, who may not be a household name in the UK, but still offer a fantastic range of streaming devices.
In short, a streaming device allows you access to a wide range of content from YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime TV (30-day FREE trial), catch up TV (e.g. BBC, ITV and Channel4) and broadcast it on your TV.
Many devices work with your phone or tablet, allowing you to watch and view media on your ultra-widescreen TV!
Unlike buying a new TV, streaming devices are inexpensive and add firepower to your existing telly in minutes. Let's explore how does a streaming device work, and if you should buy one for each TV in your home.
What is a Streaming Device?
A streaming device is a small unit that allows you to stream audio and video on your TV. These small devices, connect to your TV using an HDMI cable and wireless to your Wi-Fi, turning your television into a smart TV.
You can enjoy content from a seemingly endless list of sources, at a time of your choosing. There's no need to wait for commercial TV to show your favourite programme or have to buy it on Blu-ray as you can access content on demand.
How does a streaming device work?
The simple way to explain how does a streaming device work is that they are a miniature computers. They connect to the internet and process data from streaming services. Unlike a computer, they don't have a large amount of storage, processing power, or a screen for that matter.
Every time you press play on a video or movie, the streaming device connects directly to the streaming service and starts to download the content. You might not experience buffering between pressing play and the beginning of your content, but your media is downloading in real-time.
Will I need to pay for subscriptions to watch content?
Depending on what you want to watch, you might need to buy a subscription or two. If you have a TV licence, then you can watch catch up services for free, including BBC iPlayer, ALL 4 and ITV Hub.
You can watch YouTube videos and listen to YouTube music and Spotify, as all three offer a free ad-supported service. Of course, both YouTube and Spotify offer paid plans as well.
The most popular TV shows and movies are available on Netflix, Amazon Prime or Disney+. All of these are subscription services that allow non-stop streaming. So, well worth the cost, especially given the depth of content available from these services.
Do you need a streaming device for your TV?
If you've upgraded your TV in the last few years, you'll have direct access to streaming services. So, you might question why you need a streaming device on top. If don't have a smart TV but subscribe to Sky, you might also wonder why you need one as you can easily watch catch up TV.
Both of these situations are true. But neither render streaming devices redundant. By having an additional way to access a wide range of content, you can further enhance your watching experience.
Here are two reasons why a streaming device is necessary.
#1 Content loads quickly
If you've tried to watch Netflix using a smart TV, you'll know it takes a few seconds to load content. A streaming dongle takes a fraction of the time to load and start playing content.
There's a simple reason why. A smart TV offers a range of functions with limited internal resources. A streaming device only handles a single function, and its processors are fast enough to keep up with the streaming services' demands and requirements.
#2 It can access more streaming services
Some TV manufacturers don't allow you to add apps to their unit, meaning you might not have access to your favourite streaming service. Others only offer access to a limited number of streaming services.
With a streaming device, you can access a wider range of content sources. You don't need to wait for a software update or spend hours looking for a patch that doesn't work with your TV model. You have the power at your fingertips.
Upgrading your TV is expensive, time-consuming and technology quickly becomes outdated. Streaming sticks and devices are inexpensive, widely available and painless to set up.
TV manufacturers are constantly working to improve their hardware and software while focusing on the big picture. Streaming services focus on improving their technology for streaming devices, not smart TVs, to improve the overall experience.
What features to consider when buying a streaming device
With plenty of options available, which streaming device is ideal for you?
Brand and platform
Some will only consider Apple products as they prefer how they work and the functions they offer. Others will care more about what content they access and less about the manufacturer.
It's important to consider the manufacturer, the operating system they use and how the device will work with your current tech.
For example, you don't want to buy a Chromecast if you want to watch Apple TV content. Nor do you want to buy an Apple TV device, if you use an Android phone and don't fancy changing.
As each streaming device has its own way of controlling and commanding, it's best that you consider this element first.
Features
Each streaming devices have its specific features and these can vary massively by model or generation. If you've invested in a 4K TV, for example, you'll want a streaming device that can handle that resolution. You'll also want to consider future TV upgrades.
Do you want a streaming device that allows you to download and play games using your phone? Do you want a remote? How about built-in voice control? Does it need to work with your smart home system?
It's worth deciding what features are essential and which ones are nice to have before you buy the first streaming device you view. With clarity, you can make a much better purchasing decision.
Connectivity
Another element that is often overlooked is connectivity. Some streaming devices are USB powered and can use your TV's spare USB port or mains power using a USB plug. Other units need mains power, meaning you'll need a spare power socket.
Price
Even if the price is an afterthought, it's still work considering as you want value for money. Being convinced before you buy that a particular streaming device is worth the price will eliminate any feelings of buyers remorse!
If you're always used to Apple products, then you'll be prepared to spend more than if you buy a Chromecast or Fire TV stick. If you're after value for money, then consider Roku.
With several different models, Roku offer access to a wide range of streaming services and they work with most TVs.
Enjoying content with a streaming device
Streaming devices provide a better overall experience when using streaming services. They are faster, easier to use, and cheaper. Plus, they adapt to newer technologies without blinking.
That should answer how does a streaming device works. Hopefully, you now have a clear idea of why owning at least one of these devices in your | eng | ca123454-586e-478e-bfb7-5ac243a3ef50 | https://www.mydreamhaus.co.uk/how-does-a-streaming-device-work/ |

Mary's Role and our role as Disciples of Christ, 'two-in-one'
Our Catholic understanding is that we look to Mary as the most perfect human example of discipleship—one for us to imitate as we seek to align our wills to Christ's Will and become his partners, albeit junior partners, in building up the Kingdom of God here on earth. Mary offers us an example of faith and trust to follow so that we are free and able to say "yes" to the Lord's call to be one with Him in bringing compassion, forgiveness and mercy into the world around us. We do this in- and-through our adherence to the corporal and spiritual works of mercy of the Church.
Now before we go any further, let's admit that this is not easy. There we said it. "It isn't easy being Catholic or Christian" especially in ever-increasing secular world that finds little interest, and even littler support, for Christianity (and I mean "support" for the faith itself not for the end-results of Christian faith, e.g. feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, healthcare for the sick and so on—the State certainly desires religious institutions to "do" their part, not just profess their beliefs). But we already know that Christ did not promise us an easy faith journey; His wasn't. Nor did He promise us smooth sailing. What He does promise us is a safe and assured landing in the Port of all ports: Heaven.
Therefore our role as Christian disciples is to live out our faith in the midst of and among the obstacles to faith. Being Christian means that in the middle of hatred or jeering, as they pass laws making it more difficult to "be" Christian or find ways to impede faith-based actions, we are called to be like Christ who even amid the crucifixion did not turn His back on the Father, but literally said, "Thy Will be done." While most, of us will not be crucified for our faith, and for living it out, we shall face difficult times—we will be mocked by friends and family perhaps, we might even be hesitant to speak what we truly think and believe for fear of what our "friends" think of us. But Christ asks us to choose Him in the world. He commands us to Be Him in the world. Will we?
When we look at Theotokos, Mary the God-bearer, we see that she too was fearful and "pondered the words" of the Angel Gabriel that her family and community might wondered why she was chosen, and ask can it be, is she up to it? We also might have the same ponderings and fears about Christ calling us to greater, active faith, and we might even share the same reactions to what our family and friends in the community might think of us. But let us remember the words spoken by the Angel Gabriel to Mary: "For nothing will be impossible for God." (Luke 1:37)
Indeed nothing is impossible for God. Look at the magnificent world around us. Look at His Creative power, His wonder, and His love for each of us. Look at the life of the Church over human history and even when the Church fails due to her human institutions, God still keeps her going to spread the Good News of the Gospels. Shall we choose, as Mary did, to have trust and hope in the God of all creation? Will we be like her and say "Yes!" to the Lord? Will be we His partners in His Divine plan for human salvation and make His Kingdom known today, so that all who believe may live forever in the Kingdom that shall not end?
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us! Christ and His Church are here for you. Come join us.
May the Christmas season continue to bring you the abundant and choicest blessings of God our Father, for you and all those you love. | eng | 48f3ef97-ac3b-4ce1-9c87-d96f58a8de1a | https://stcatherine.info/blog/marys-role-and-our-role-as-disciples-of-christ-two-in-one |
Fortress Ujarma
Fortress Ujarma is one of the most important monuments of medieval architecture of Georgia due to its location and historical significance. Since the III century the fortress was the residence of the kings and heirs of the throne. The main flowering of Ujarma occurred in the V-VI century ad. During the reign of Vakhtang Gorgasali and his son Dacha.
At that time, the city citadel with high walls, observation and defensive towers. As well as the residence building and the Church were erected. The fortress was one of the main outposts in the defense of the country against periodic invasions of Arab and Persian troops. And in the XII century the Royal family moved here the state Treasury. Later, under the influence of such factors as the Mongol yoke, the disintegration of Georgia into separate principalities and civil strife, Ujarma gradually fell into decay, turning from a prosperous city into a small settlement, and eventually completely emptied.
To date, in Ujarma little remains of the former majestic fortress – the small ruins of the once high walls and watchtowers, as well as the current temple of St. Razhden. However, ujarma fortress is perceived by many as an excellent observation deck with magnificent views of the Gombori mountain ranges and the Iori river flowing at the foot of the hill on which the fortress stands. Ujarma rarely impressive, like a fortress, but almost all impressive viewpoint.
What's left of the fortress:
Cross, which symbolizes the first cross, established here under Saint Nina. In the IV century St. Nino Christianized Iberia and one day decided to install four crosses at different heights. Crosses were placed on the mountain Thoti, in Ujarma, in Mtskheta and Bodbe.
Shrine Of The True Cross (Carpathian), built to honor Nina's installation of the worship cross. It seems to be in the same Church is the second Saint Razhdenes. This is the temple, which was founded by king Vakhtang in honor of the Martyr Razhden, and inside you can now see the icon of Vakhtang and Razhden. To distinguish them, the icon on the attributes: Razhdenes holding a cross, symbol of martyrdom. Now it is difficult to say what this temple has to do with what Vakhtang built.
Turret. Not similar to the tower structure in which the monks live. On the second floor there is an observation deck with fabulous views of the Iori River. A little to the right you can see a kind of brick building – a former Marani (wine storage). In the lowest part of the fortress there were ruins suspiciously similar to the Palace. The masonry is very smooth, so it is likely that this is the XVIII century. | eng | 742edbd7-a000-40e4-9061-5f17a4a83874 | https://abeonatravel.ge/history-and-facts/kakheti/palaces-and-ancient-cities-of-kakheti/fortress-ujarma/?lang=en |
7 Conditions That Can Go Hand in Hand With Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder often co-occurs with other mental health diagnoses, and the best treatment outcomes require managing each unique one. Here are seven conditions that commonly accompany bipolar:
Kelvin Murray/Getty Images
Understanding Coexisting Conditions
Often, co-occurring (or coexisting) psychiatric conditions — like obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) — go hand in hand with bipolar disorder. Because of overlapping diagnostic criteria, sometimes it can be challenging to identify the root cause of specific experiences and symptoms. (Which came first, the anxiety or the bipolar?)
What we need to remember is that these mental health conditions require separate diagnoses, and each has different treatment plans to address the problematic symptoms. To improve overall quality of life and mood stability, it is helpful to be aware of potential coexisting conditions that can exacerbate bipolar episodes.
1. Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety as a symptom occurs during the course of illness for most people living with bipolar disorder and can resolve as part of the standard treatment. For many, however, symptoms may be serious and long-lasting enough to warrant a clinical diagnosis of an anxiety disorder.
Studies report that anxiety disorders are three to four times more common in people with bipolar compared to the general population. In terms of comorbidity, anxiety disorders are the most common condition affecting individuals with bipolar. One research review established that at least half of those with bipolar are likely to develop an anxiety disorder during their lifetime. Since anxiety disorders can worsen the course of bipolar, addressing each with targeted treatment leads to better outcomes than treating just one condition.
2. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
In a meta-analysis published in 2021 by the journal Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, up to 1 in 16 people with bipolar have co-occurring ADHD. The review also found that the age of onset for bipolar occurred earlier in people with comorbid ADHD.
While ADHD has its onset in childhood, up to three-quarters of people living with ADHD continue to face significant symptoms into adulthood. However, the disorder can go undetected due to overlapping symptoms with other conditions. This is especially true of people with bipolar disorder, with shared features like distractibility and inattention, impulsiveness, and hyperactivity.
3. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
In one literature review, the prevalence of PTSD among individuals with bipolar ranged from 4 to 40 percent. While bipolar is a mood disorder and PTSD is classified as a trauma-related disorder, the two share overlapping symptoms such as irritable mood, intrusive thoughts, depressive symptoms, difficulty concentrating, and sleep problems.
A hallmark of PTSD is sleep disturbance, including insomnia and nightmares with a recollection of the traumatic events. This is particularly problematic as research shows that individuals with bipolar are already prone to sleep challenges. It's also well-established that a lack of sleep can be a trigger for hypo/mania.
4. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
People with OCD have symptoms of obsessions (uncontrollable thoughts) and/or compulsions (an urge to repeat a specific behavior). OCD is also a common coexisting condition of bipolar disorder, and it can worsen the severity and complicate the clinical management of the illness.
While research is limited, a systematic review published in the Journal of Affective Disorders identified that more than 20 percent of people with bipolar show lifetime comorbidity of OCD. Though the optimal treatment approach has yet to be defined, the current literature suggests that mood stabilization should be the primary goal in treating both conditions.
The shared symptom similarities between the two conditions, particularly impulsive actions and extreme emotional reactions and severe mood swings, can complicate diagnosis. Some reports suggest that people with borderline personality disorder may be more likely to be misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder.
6. Alcohol Use Disorder
An estimated 40 to 70 percent of people with bipolar also have alcohol use disorder, according to a 2021 study inFrontiers in Psychiatry. The reasons why are poorly understood. Some experts point to heredity, environmental factors, or self-medication for emotional distress, while other studies suggest the severity of a person's bipolar illness plays a role in their proneness for heavy drinking.
Whatever the reason, controlling the excessive intake of alcohol is crucial for bipolar management. It's also essential for brain health. A study published in early 2022 in the journal Nature Communications found that even light to moderate drinking changes the volume and structures of the brain involved in thinking and feeling. Increasing from one to two drinks per day was linked to brain changes comparable to aging two years.
7. Nicotine Use Disorders
Smoking seems to share common ground with bipolar, affecting up to 80 percent of individuals. This is concerning since cigarette use is associated with increased anxiety, as well as heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
Studies also show that people living with bipolar who smoke are less successful at quitting. Consequently, it's extremely important for doctors to address nicotine use in the management of bipolar disorder.

I currently take 4 meds for bipolar 1.. buspiron 15 MG 3x/day, hydroxyzine 3x/day, lamictal 2x/day and seraquel . I also use Sleep 3. I gave up alcohol as it led to manic outbursts as well as manic blackouts. Suffer the most with anxiety, mild depression, and procrastination. Meds have altered to better manage.
Hi. I'm Andy in Long Island. I've been diagnosed with Adhd, Bipolar 2 , and ocd. The trifecta. I'm 59 and tired of all of this. I've self medicated with marijuana, However it's time for something else. Please help me
I can't take prescription lithium so my doctor approved 20.g Lithium Ortate over the counter and if I go hypo manic I increase to 40mg for about a week or 2. I take 5mg zyprexa and 300mg serequel ..I take 15mg temazapam 1-3 times a week for sleep so won't become addicted …50mg benedryl for sleep and Natures bount Sleep 3 helps me sleep too. I'm partially disabled and work part time and collect social security disability which has helped me become more balanced. I don't use any drugs or caffiene and very little sugar and stopped bad vegetable oils and now use olive oil and avocado and coconut. I'm almost 64 and live well. I hope you can find the combo of meds with your doctor that will work for you..everyone is different so keep trying till you can find what works best. God bless you.
I don't know if anyone ever replied to your comment Andy…but I happened to read this article with my daughter in mind – she's 23 and has been diagnosed with bipolar 2, anxiety, ocd, adhd – I think I got them all? Oh yeah also substance use disorder…the old self medicating. I'm 55 and I just want to encourage you to get help – start with a counselor and seeing a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner – don't be afraid of taking a medication that could help you! Try several to get the right fit. I hope you know you're not alone. People care. People everywhere are struggling with similar issues. Also my daughter sometimes attends MA meetings online – they have them everyday and it's a great way to connect and get support.

Geranium: Ingredient Guide, Info, Smell & More!
Geranium smells like rose, with a green floral twist, accompanied by lemony and peppery notes.
To round out this complex scent, there are also undertones of bergamot and peppermint that bring a hint of masculinity to the sweetness.
The geranium used most frequently to create perfumes comes from the Pelargonium Graveolens variety, closely followed by the Lemon Fancy variety.
There are over 280 species of geranium plants, and most of them are scented. Essential oils and perfumes are made from the leaves of scented varieties of the geranium plant.
The varieties are also frequently combined to create a smooth drydown that lingers on the skin, with a natural clean-smelling base note that carries the scent of soap.
What is Geranium?
Geranium, also known as Pelargonium, is a type of flowering plant that is part of a system with over 280 species. More than 200 of these varieties have scented leaves, and many have been used to create essential oil used in the high-quality perfume industry.
Pelargonium was brought to Europe from its native South Africa in the 17th century, and it was first distilled into essential oil in France, a country well-known for its history of perfume-making.
Many people have since used geranium essential oil for a range of ailments, from stress and anxiety to fighting off basic bacterial infections.
Where Does the Scent of Geranium Come From?
Despite the eye-catching flowers of the pelargonium, the fragrance comes from the steaming and distillation of the leaf and the stalk.
If you have geranium in your garden, you could slightly brush your hand over its leaves and enjoy an example of its distinctive smell while enjoying the sight of a beautiful pale pink or white flower.
You can even make a post on social media about the experience.
What are the Most Used Types of Geranium?
Generally, the geraniums most often used to distill oils that then become scents are:
The Pelargonium Graveolens, also known as rose scent geranium or sweet-scented geranium, responsible for the smell of floral and aromatic hints that are generally so popular with fragrances.
The Lemon Fancy, the variety of geranium with a smell like citrus.
But, what does geranium smell like?
After leaving distinctive traces of its scents through history, the geranium smell continues to be popular in the present in fragrances with its scents of roses and the blend of sweet, floral, green, peppery, herbaceous, and earthy smells.
What Does Geranium Smell Like?
Geranium smells like a mix of scents with numerous layers. The distinct varieties have been used in combinations throughout the years and the smells have become instantly recognizable by perfume lovers.
The rose geranium smells like the rose that names it, but it isn't only sweet.
The floral scent is made more complex by the accompanying green scent, and the aromatic note hints at deeper layers that smell like lavender, lemon, and mint.
Those with a keen nose will also be able to detect that the rose geranium smells slightly like chocolate, alongside the smell of lavender and roses.
Geraniums leave a full body of smells on the skin that can be enjoyed for hours.
The various combinations of geraniums can also carry an aroma of earthy bergamot, or even a more herbal touch.
If you would like to explore the geranium smell a bit more, you can try other varieties.
Some, like the pineapple-scented geranium, have a fresh fragrance that smells like the tropical fruit it's named after.
Lemon isn't the only smell that you can encounter in geranium. What the Prince of Orange variety lacks in orange flowers, it makes up for with its rich orangey smell.
What Scent Family is Geranium?
Geranium belongs to the floral olfactory family, along with rose.
Like the geranium, rose can be combined with lemony smells to create citrus floral scents, but rose is usually based on the power of the flower.
The geranium is classed as a flowery scent, even though its leaves are the origin of the smell.
This highlights the strength and variety of the geranium in providing such a rich olfactory experience.
What are the Benefits of Geranium?
Geranium essential oil has been used for centuries for its many health benefits. Here are some of the most popular ones:
Geranium essential oils have therapeutic qualities that help counter the effects of stress and anxiety.
They can also help a bit with the rough days caused by hormonal imbalances.
Is Geranium Feminine or Masculine Scent?
Geranium is a great unisex smell that satisfies both feminine and masculine tastes.
The rose scent of geranium is given masculine notes by the aroma of lavender, chocolate, and lemons.
These notes make geranium a great scent to add to masculine perfumes, but they also feature frequently in unisex scents.
Through its smell, geranium offers a bit of resistance to the traditional masculine and feminine scents by joining the ranks of many other fragrances that suit all genders.
Best Perfumes with Geranium Notes
Some of the most representative houses in the world include geranium notes in their perfumes. Let's take a look at some of them:
1. Versace Pour Homme by Versace
Geranium features in the middle notes of this fragrance, along with hyacinth, clary sage, and cedar. A perfect choice for summer with a clean and rich scent.
2. L'Eau d'Issey Pour Homme by Issey Miyake
Bourbon geranium can be found in the middle notes once more. This timeless fragrance makes the geranium notes unforgettable.
3. Geranium Odorata by Diptyque
This unisex fragrance has a masculine spicy opening and a lovely rosy finish in the drydown.
The Bottom Line
So, what does geranium smell like? We've discovered that this is a limitless scent that works beautifully in combinations of many notes.
It retains a sweet flowery scent that is deepened by the green scent of peppermint and lemon. Lavender and chocolate add to the complexity of this olfactory feast.
Geranium is a unisex scent that can be freely used by all genders, and it features prominently in some of the most iconic perfumes in the industry. Experiment with geranium, and remember to post about your experience!

Don't let them eat your garden: 3 home tricks to get rid of snails and slugs forever
the Snails and slugs They can have a significant impact on plants as they feed on their leaves, flowers, fruits and stems, leaving holes and visible damage. These slugs are particularly active at night and in humid conditions, often causing their presence to go unnoticed until the damage becomes apparent.
In addition to direct physical damage, they can also carry diseases and parasites that further impact plant health. To protect the species in our garden, many preventive and control measures can be taken. Manual removal of Snails and slugs It is an option, in addition to creating physical barriers with different materials, that although they are not intended to harm these animals, they are intended to keep them away from your plants.
Snails and slugs become enemies of your garden.
Using natural repellent plants, such as mint, hazelnut, or rosemary, can help deter them Slugs. It is important to keep the garden clean of debris and weeds that may attract these animals. For a more ecological approach, have natural predators, such as birds and hedgehogs, that feed on them Snails and slugs.
This way your plants will be free of snails and slugs. Source: (@enamorarte.suculentas)
There are homemade traps, e.g Containers filled with beercan be effective in population control Snails and slugs. For some reason, they are attracted to the smell of this drink and end up immersed in it with no way to escape. All you need is a shallow container, place it on the soil of your pot and you will see little by little how it turns out.
There is another method as its main ingredient Egg shell. All you have to do is cut it into small pieces and place it in your pots, and this item ends up stuck to the sticky skin of the plant. Snails and slugs On their way which makes them uncomfortable and they decide not to move.

Clarify update of freeze groups, virtual sites, and shell particles
I have been trying to understand the algorithms updating frozen / partially frozen atoms, virtual sites, and shell particles. These are handled differently in different integrator schemes, which (in the best case) is confusing and prone to the introduction of errors, and likely already yields slight differences between the integrator schemes.
This issue has several goals:
Establish and document the protocol the update of these particles should follow
Verify whether the current implementation is correct
Understand whether there is potential for simplification or unification across the different integration algorithms.
The three types of particles have characteristics that require special treatment during updates:
Frozen particles are immobile in some or all dimensions. Their position should stay invariant, their velocity should be zero. The inverse mass and inverse mass per dimension of completely frozen atoms is set to zero (infinitely heavy). The inverse mass per dimension of partially-frozen atoms is set to zero, inverse mass of the atom is 1/(mass of atom type). Frozen particles experience forces as any other particle, i.e. forces on them are expected to be non-zero.
Virtual site positions are recomputed from the position of other particles (after their propagation). Their velocity is recalculated from the difference of their position between steps. Forces on virtual sites are redistributed to their constructing particles. The forces are expected to be zero at the end of do_force. The inverse mass of virtual sites is set to zero.
Shell particles represent polarization. Their position is determined by minimization of the potential energy every step (during force calculation). I am not familiar with the shell code. Looking over it, I think to see that (but I'd be happy if someone could confirm or correct me!):
Forces are non-zero
Inverse masses are zero
Velocities are never used, but printed to trajectory (or is there a check somewhere to exclude them?)
Positions are updated in do_force, printed to trajectory (?)
Treatment in current do_md:
Before start of the main loop if new runs (input not read from checkpoint), the velocities of frozen dimensions, virtual sites and shell particles are set to 0.
During removal of COM motion, some velocity might be reintroduced (except for frozen particles / dimensions which are explicitly exempt)
No Nose-Hoover, no Parrinello-Rahman, no acceleration, single temperature scaling value (one T-group or non-T-coupling step), no partially frozen atoms (SIMD version uses invMass instead of invMassPerDim to reduce cache pressure).
v-site velocities get set to zero before update
Does not check particle type - all atoms treated equally
Simple
No Nose-Hoover, no off-diagonal Parrinello-Rahman, no acceleration
v-site velocities get set to zero before update
Does not check particle type - all atoms treated equally
General
Only used if Nose-Hoover, off-diagonal Parrinello-Rahman, or acceleration groups are used
Does not zero v-site velocities
Does not check particle type - all atoms treated equally
As md does leap-frog integration, the basic operations for the simple and general code paths is (i: atom, d: dimension)
v[i][d] += dt*f[i][d]*invMassPerDim[i][d]x[i][d] += dt*v[i][d]
while SIMD does not differentiate by dimension
v[i] += dt*f[i]*invMass[i]x[i] += dt*v[i]
Frozen atoms will not change velocity thanks to the inverse mass / inverse mass per dimension being zero and SIMD being disallowed for partially frozen atoms. Non-zero velocities are unlikely to be introduced anywhere, as COM motion removal is explicitly excluding frozen dimensions → positions should not change.
Virtual sites will not change velocity since their forces and inverse masses are zero. In the simple and simple SIMD implementation, v-site velocities are set to zero before the update. In the general implementation, the v-site velocities are not zero-ed, and will propagate the positions.
The shell particle velocities are not zero-ed in either leap-frog implementation. The inverse masses are zero (?), so the velocities will not change, but velocity introduced via COM motion removal might slightly move the particles.
Constraining: This might be a problem when using lincs or shake (which uses invMass) and partially frozen atoms. The constraining might displace the atoms along the frozen dimensions. Fully frozen atoms don't suffer that problem due to the zero inverse mass.
Finish update: If we have partially frozen atoms and constraints, we avoid copying back the updated positions (xp) to the position vector in the state object. In all other cases, we copy back all positions. What about the velocities? Velocities are updated in lincs / shake as well, wouldn't we expect to have non-zero velocities in the frozen dimensions of partially frozen, constrained atoms?
Virtual site recalculation: This calculates the virtual sites from the new positions, and the velocities from the displacement between the old and the new virtual site position. This only works if the positions were not changed during the update. If we moved the virtual sites in the general leap-frog implementation, the velocities might be off.
If we use the general implementation (Nose-Hoover / off-diagonal Parrinello-Rahman, acceleration), the virtual site velocities are not zeroed (and they are not expected to be zero except in the first step!). This will not result in wrong virtual site positions (since they are recalculated from non-virtual atoms), but in wrong v-site velocities (since the algorithm expects unchanged positions since the last call). → #3866 (closed), !979 (merged)
md-vv will always print zero / almost zero velocities for the v-sites (due to the velocity half-step before trajectory printing), while the other algorithms will print the v-site velocities calculated at the last step. Md-vv should probably not zero the v-site velocities in the first half step. → #3866 (closed), !979 (merged)
Virtual sites and shell particles get changed by COM motion removal - this is likely to be a very small contribution in healthy simulations, but is it correct? If it is correct, md-vv needs to be investigated exactly, as it is zero-ing the velocities and removing COM at different places compared to the other algorithms. If it is not correct, the COM removal should expand its particle check to include v-sites and shell particles. → #3866 (closed), !979 (merged), !980 (closed)
Partially-frozen atoms might have non-zero velocities due to constraining, unless I've missed something. → No, the frozen-dimension velocities are zero-ed in the constraining implementation. The frozen-dimension positions, as mentioned above, are not copied back, so this is all as expected. However, the initial constraining might move partially frozen atom positions.
I think that otherwise, the frozen / partially frozen atoms and shell particles implementation looks ok. Since the leap-frog update does not care about shell particles, it seems that it wouldn't be necessary to check for it in md-vv / sd / bd either, somewhat unifying the code paths. | eng | e2d53365-223a-469a-80a1-35c359c2c26b | https://gitlab.com/gromacs/gromacs/-/issues/3849 |
What can LED Flexible Screens be Used For?
Publisher: Supplier of LED Display Time: 2022-04-02 15:23 Views: 644
In order to solve this actual demand, some LED display manufacturers have flexible, foldable, and bendable flexible screens that have begun to appear and become popular. So what scenarios are flexible screens often used in?
1. Curved screen
If the radian is small and inside the radian, it is possible to use the traditional LED hard screen, as long as the steel structure of the display screen is made into an arc, and then the conventional hard module can be installed. However, when the radian is larger or the outer radian is large, it is impossible to use a hard led screen for construction. At this time, a flexible led screen can be used easily.
2. Cylindrical screen
In some hotels, conference rooms, bars and other lobbies, many columns are cylindrical. Designers will design these columns as display screens and play some special videos to improve the decoration grade or create a special atmosphere. The screen is very complicated to do, and the flexible LED screen is more handy.
3. Some use scenarios of special-shaped led screens, such as wavy, ribbon-shaped stage design, etc. | eng | f7e2b020-0a5b-4fe5-9c14-18522512112d | https://www.lcf-led.com/articledetail/1875.html |

Axe vs Hatchet: Know The Difference
Category: Blog
Axe vs Hatchet
Hatchet and axes are the tools that have been used for centuries for chopping wood. Many people get confused between an axe and hatchet. Some people often use axes and hatchets interchangeably as both of them are similar in appearance while other also say that a hatchet is a type of axle. However, it is not so. They are completely different tools designed for completely different purposes. These tools are designed for varying workloads. Let us explore the nitty-gritty of axes and hatchets.
An axe is a handy tool that is used for chopping, splitting, piercing and chipping of wood. It is a wedge. The stone age axes originated as a simple stone tool that has a wooden handle around 30,000 BC. Copper bladed axes were seen in Egypt around 4000 BC. Then axes with bronze blades come in existence and eventually axes with iron blades originate. The axe generally consists of axe head with handle which is also called as haft or helve. An axe is basically a simple machine that reduces effort needed by the wood chopper. Depending upon the intended use axes are of different types and are available in different forms in the market. Depending upon the intended use width, angle and bit sharpness may vary. In general, the cutting type axes have shallow wedge angle whereas splitting axes have deep angle. Also, most of the axes are double bevelled i.e. symmetrical about the axis of the blade whereas some broad axes have single bevel blades. Nowadays, most of the axes have iron heads with handles made from hickory wood. However, there are some axes that also have steelheads. Axes are designed in such a way that they easily cut through the wood.
A hatchet is a small tool that is designed to chop the dense wooden logs with minimum effort. A good hatchet is designed in such a way that helps to cut the wood rapidly without pain. It is basically a single handed tool having a sharp blade on one side and is used for cutting and splitting the wood. Also, it is a versatile tool that can be used for hammering, splitting, chopping and throwing. Hatchet can be used for splitting woods with small and thin branches or twigs of trees in the bushy forest. The blade size of the hatchet ranges between 3.6 to 5.25 inches. This tool is highly suitable for light work and is a good alternative to axes that makes the work cumbersome. They are best suited for splitting small pieces of firewood and small branches. This single handed tool requires less space for working and hence can be used in such areas where use of axes is difficult. Sometimes you might mistake a hatchet for a camping axe. This is because the camping axes (also known as hand axes) are generally smaller than ordinary axes.
Axes are two handed tools whereas hatchets are one handed tools. The heads of axes are heavy wedge-shaped with the flat poll whereas the heads of hatchets are heavy and feature a V-shaped cut and a hammer like poll on the other side. Also, axes are longer than the hatchets. An axe is twice the length of hatchets.
The difference between these two tools can be explained on the following headings:
Design Wise
The Heads of axes are heavy wedge-shaped with the flat poll on the other side whereas the heads of hat axes. The metal wedge of the hand axe is made from heavy metal. The blades have sharp and tapered edges. Hatchets are more compact with heavier blades. The shaft of the hatchet is curved and shorter, which facilitates stronger grip on the handle whereas the shaft of the hand axe is longer and is not curved. Handle of the hand axe is made from strong wood or fibreglass whereas the handles of hatchets are made from metal, wood or fibreglass.
Length wise
Axes are generally longer than the hatchets. An axe is twice the size of a hatchet. A hatchet comfortably fits on one hand but the axe requires two hands for operating. The handle of hand axes measures 20 to 36 inches whereas that of hatchet measures 12 to 18 inches in length.
Weight Wise
An axe is heavier than the hatchets. Due to its heavy weight, it is best suited for heavy work. An axe weighs 3 pounds in weight whereas the weight of a hatchet may be 1 to 3 pounds.
Purpose Wise
Hatchets are smaller in size, weight, length and girth than the hand axes, so they are best suited for chopping small-scale wood. A hatchet is particularly suited for following work:
Splitting of firewood
Chopping the small branches of tree
Cutting the bushes
Felling the saplings
Suitable for hiking and hunting
Clearing trails
An axe can be used for several purposes. It is particularly suited for following works:
To cut down a tree
Splitting wood to make houses, benches, shelter and many other wood crafts.
Different sized hand axes are used for recreational purposes like axe-throwing.
Similarities Between Axe and Hatchet
Due to the number of similarities between axes and hatchet, some people use them interchangeably. Both the tools are primarily used for cutting tools. Traditionally both tools have steel heads with sharp edges. Although they both are functionally similar but are completely distinct tools designed for different purposes.
Pros of Axe Over hatchet
Following are the advantages of axe over hatchets:
It is best suited for heavy work.
It can be used to perform work that cannot be done by using a hatchet.
Pros of hatchet Over Axe
The lighter weight of hatchets limits it to light work. Beside this limitation, it has following advantages over an axe:
It is easier to use, handle and carry.
It is more versatile than a hand axe.
It requires less energy for operating.
It is best suited for light work.
It is easy to store.
It is a one handed tool.
Which is Best for Splitting Wood: Axe or Hatchet?
Both axes and hatchets are used for splitting pieces of firewood. We cannot say which one of them is best for splitting wood. The choice axe or hatchet for splitting wood basically depends upon the type of work and wood type. If you have to split small wood, a hatchet would be best, whereas if you have to split heavy wood, go for an axe.
Final Verdict
This is all about an axe and hatchet. Both are the tools that are used for chopping wood. Most people get confused between these two tools and often use the term interchangeably. But in fact it is not so. Both of them are completely different tools used for completely different purposes. An axe has a heavy wedge shaped head with a flat poll on the other side. Hat hand axes. Axes are generally longer than the hatchets. An axe is twice the size of a hatchet. A hatchet comfortably fits on one hand but the axe requires two hands for operating. Axes are two handed tools whereas hatchets are one handed tools. Although both the tools are distinct in terms of their design, length and weight but both the tools are used for cutting the wood. Hatchet is easier to carry, handle and store and also requires less power for operating. An axe is best suited for heavy work and it requires more power for operating.
The axe is one of the implements made up of sharp-edged iron fixed in a wooden handle used for chopping, shaping, and splitting wood and trees. It is also used in harvesting timbers for daily life purposes
The wooden handle is an essential part of an axe fitted into the sharp wedged metal head at the top. It acts as a third-class lever, where the user's shoulder acts as Fulcrum, and the effort is applied by swinging the axe handle. So, the length of the axe handle is the effort distance, and it decreases the amount of force to be exerted by magnifying the applied force. Thus the axe handle is the force multiplier that makes splitting the wood and timber quicker and easier. However, a too long axe handle is difficult to control as it can't absorb the impact after hitting the target.
The most commonly used material for preparing the axe handle is Hickory and Ash. Some may also use Oak and Maple. Currently, Fibre-glass is also popular due to its high shock-absorbing capacity. The material of the handle also determines the ease of grip and efficiency of the axe. So, it's essential to choose the material for the handle wisely to ensure durability and comfort to the user's hand. The handle contracts and shrinks on exposure to very high or low temperatures. The moisture also makes the handle get swollen. Thus, you should give proper care and protect the handle from extreme environmental conditions.
The workability and efficiency of the axe starts decreasing when the cracking, swelling splitting of the handle itself occurs. Sometimes, you may hit the metal or concrete surface, missing the target. It produces a lot of shocks that the handle couldn't bear, and then cracks or splits. The continuous exposure to extreme conditions also makes the handle slippery, very rough and challenging to grip. In those situations, replacing the axe handle will be a wise and intelligent decision to make. You should be well aware of the steps to change the old handle to a new hand. It will be a lot easier if you have the backups for the materials of the axe handle beforehand. You can then change the handle of your instrument in no time.
Thinking about how to start the process?
No worries! In this article, we'll be guiding you throughout the process with the very simple and easy steps for replacing the handle of the axe. Stay tuned till the end. We're here to familiarise you with the problem and its solution to the problem you may face while using the tool.
Materials/Tools required
Steps of Replacing Axe Handle
Here are a few steps to replace your axe handle with a new one:
If you have wooden material as a block, you should first trim it to the shape and size of the handle you want. You can put the old handle on its top, mark the boundary with a pencil and then trim it using an automatic wood trimmer or saw. After getting the shape, you should again mark the top for its required width in between the hole of the axe head.
1. Now, slip the handle to the axe head to see how it fits. Remember not to bang the axe on the table, it causes the wood to split. What you're gonna do is, get your mallets, hold the axe off the ground, and you hit the end of it.
2. After checking the seating of the handle, use sandpaper to the area with slick to get your handle seat properly. Repeat this process until you get the head to sit on your desired length.
3. Check if your wedge fits the handle width and trim it to make it as wide as the handle if it doesn't.
4. Make a slot in the middle of the top of the handle to fit in the wedge. Use the diluted linseed oil on both the handle and the wedge to increase its adhesion and lubrication. You can wrap up the handle with a cloth or old bicycle rubber to protect the handle in the vise from the clamp's jaws.
5. Open up the slot in the handle with the flat screwdriver, insert the wedge in, and now grab your mallet to tap it in. The wedge may split, but you should focus on driving it in there.
6. After getting the wedge inside, mark the extra portion above the axe head and trim it off.
7. Take the metal edge, make a little cut, and tap it in with a heavier hammer to insert it in.
8. The final step is sanding the handle to get the grains in position and coating the handle with linseed oil to seal the grain and protect the handle.
Where to get an Axe Handle?
You can get the axe handle from your nearby hardware and suppliers offline. You can also order the handles with the best quality online through different online shopping platforms like Amazon, Walmart, eBay, etc., by comparing their prices, quality, and general reviews.
Features of a Good Axe Handle
Though new or replaced, an axe handle should possess the following features to be called reasonable:
The quality of the wooden material is the primary characteristic of a good handle. So, you should always choose excellent quality material.
The fitting of the axe head to the handle should be firm and secure, and the gap perfectly covered by wedges.
The handle should be durable with a comfortable grip.
The length of the handle should be appropriate for the purpose it is designed for.
The handle should have good shock-absorbing capacity.
Can You Replace an Axe Handle By Yourself?
Yes, Replacing an axe isn't a complicated process. You need some essential tools and quality wooden material. But one should use sharp instruments and wedges while replacing them, which adds to the potential risk of injury and wounds. So, you should follow all safety precautions, such as wearing protective gloves and eye goggles while trimming the wood to prevent injury. You can also get familiarised by watching the tutorial videos before starting the process. We can thus replace the axe by ourselves if we are well aware and skilled in using those necessary tools and handling the sharp metal head safely.
Final Verdict
Reading those simple steps, you may have already mastered the idea of replacing the axe handle in your mind. It may get a little hard to handle those tools for beginners, but as you go on, working with wood is fun and exciting. You will definitely enjoy the process and the satisfaction gained from it.
Ever heard of an ancient axe called Shepherd's axe? You may not know its full details and history even if you have one. Here we present a complete guide on Shepherd's axe's design and uses, which has a long history. Let's dive into it!
Shepherd's axe is a longer and lightweight ancient axe used as a weapon of war for centuries by shepherds and warriors in Eurasia or Central and Eastern Europe. They are given different names depending on the region. You may know this axe as Rambha, Valaska, etc. They are polled axes that serve as a walking stick and a supplemental hammer. So, it's a versatile tool: you can have an axe, a weapon, a walking stick, and a hammer from a single tool. The people from Romania, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, and Czech Republic will have heard and known about Shepherd's axe.
They are believed to have originated in the 9th century from the Eurasian region, somewhere in today's Hungary. It started as a fighting axe. It was then migrated to central Europe between the 14th to 17th centuries during migration along the Carpathian and Dinaric Mountains. It was used in self-defence, and it is great for combat. Janosik Notorious bandit and his companions also used it. It is more associated with Slovak and Polish Shepherd and Hungarian warriors. They were also used by so-called highland robbers and there are actually documented cases of people being killed with these. So, we know that these were perfectly functional weapons in ancient times.
The shepherd's axe used to be customised according to the owner and was believed to be representing one's identity or the religious community. They were also used during ceremonial practices by the priestesses.
The shepherd's axe is still in use in places like Poland, Slovakia, etc. In most of the places, they are kept for decoration, as a souvenir.
General Features
The shepherd's axe is not just a very great tool but also a very wood weapon. The axe is designed to give you a perfect reach, and you can do many things with it. The sharp bottom also helps you attack the enemy or trees from a long distance. Since the length is longer and the grip may be uncomfortable due to its thin and weak material, you need to wear gloves or safety tools to reduce the back impact on your hands.
Design
The shepherd's axe, carrying a long history, is adorned with beautiful ancient traditional designs and stamps. The axe head is small, length is long, thin, and lightweight, and Sycamore is used as the wooden material here. The small metal butt is fitted perfectly so that it can be used as a walking stick.
The head is well made, like how a hammer bit is shaped at the end. The handle is beechwood which is usually not chosen for the axes. It might not be as efficient as Ash and Hickory, but it is still suitable for the axe. Its handle tapers down the bottom, forming a sharp end. So, it gets thinner, and the material to absorb the vibration after hitting the target decreases. You may get a little hand shock because of this traditional design.
Length
You can find the length of the shepherd's axe longer than typical axes. The primary purpose of this axe in ancient times was to use it as a weapon during the war and to chop small branches. Based on the purpose, the length was increased to get a good reach and used as support while walking to the war zones. The axe is thus more extended than a metre's length.
As we know, the principle of the axe is based on the third-class lever. The length of the axe acts as an effort distance which multiplies the force applied. So, the impact from the object you hit from this axe may sometimes be uncontrollable and challenging to grip the tool.
Weight
This axe is very lightweight; designed for long-distance wars and small trees. Its lightweight nature is what makes it applicable to walking sticks and hammers. It works amazingly in smaller branches. In more giant trees, the pressure applied by this light axe may not be enough to produce a significant impact.
Uses
As we mentioned earlier, Shepherd's axe is versatile. You can get your many tasks done with a single axe. The primary uses of this axe include:
Chopping small branches: It can split small branches in a minute.
Weapon during the war: One of the main reasons it was developed was to use it as a weapon during the wars.
Walking stick: The long length and perfectly fitted axe head is designed to facilitate a walking stick.
Hammer: The back of the axe head can also be used as a hammer.
Attacking the target from a distance: The pointed end can easily get attached to the target when thrown in technique from a distance.
Pros
After going through the details of Shepherd's axe, you can determine the possible pros of this tool. It can be listed in points as:
The Shepherd's axe is an ancient history-carrying tool. So, it is historically very significant to identify the evolution of today's modern tools.
The versatile nature of this axe lets the user get the advantages of a war weapon, axe, walking stick, hammer, and a source of entertainment.
Its design and principle paved the way for modern-day tools.
Cons
Along with the pros, you can filter out the drawbacks of this axe. It may be:
The thin handle induced an uncomfortable grip and less area to absorb impact.
The impact force was greater to the extent it couldn't be controlled because of the long and thin length.
It was not suitable for the big trees and woods.
Can Shepherd's Axe Be Used For Splitting Woods?
Yes, if it's for the smaller branches. But for the larger and giant trees, they may not be better choices. Splitting the more extensive woods with a shepherd's axe will take much longer. It's not that it can't be used, but the time and effort you put in while using Shepherd's axe for the more extensive woods may not be worth it. So, it won't be an intelligent choice for more giant trees. But if you are looking for wood splitting in smaller branches, you can go for Shepherd's Axe.
Conclusion
You may have now acknowledged this long-shaft axe's pros and cons. It was one of the significant tools centuries ago. Modern tools have now evolved to be a lot easier and more efficient. You can see these axes mainly in the museum and conservation centre. But you can still see it being used in many places in modern times.
Introduction
Tree felling is the purposeful removal of standing trees in a way that it falls in a specific desirable direction. It is the art of aiming at the right point, at the right angle, in the right direction. The limbing and Bucking process follow the felling of the tree. Limbing involves cutting the side branches of the felled tree, whereas bucking involves splitting the wood into appropriate lengths.
The tree felling is done with the diseased, old trees on the verge of falling or in the way of any infrastructure or roads. The tree dies, and thus spreading of the disease can be prevented. Otherwise, the whole area may be infected if that diseased tree is not dropped. Also, the natural falling of the old, weak trees may fall upon other healthy trees and disturb them. The whole orchard or the jungle could get affected by the falling of trees in the wrong direction. So, the primary purpose of learning about the felling of trees in the right direction is to promote the judicial removal of trees without any disturbance to others in the proper direction.
The principle of the felling of trees lies in the proper angle cut at the right point and right direction. The tree should be downed in a proper direction where there is no disturbance, and the limbing and bucking process can be carried out efficiently. Cutting it at the wrong angle may not only hinder other trees but may even cause injury to the cutter or the person cutting it. There is a dim chance of survival if you make a mistake in falling the tree in the wrong direction and happen to be under the dropped tree. So, you should immediately cut the trees leaning toward the roads or buildings, falling off of which may cause severe damage.
Tree felling is an artistic skill one needs to master. You can't just cut at any angle and drop it down. Finding the correct angle, the correct point to aim, and the proper direction to drop is an art. You should make a slanting cut and a straight cut on both sides of the tree, and the major point to consider is the thickness of the hinge you need. The hinge is the gap between the front notch and the back cut. It is what drops the tree in the right direction and determines the force at which the tree falls. It controls the momentum of the tree. According to the rule of thumb, the hinge thickness should be 10% of the tree DBH(Diameter at breast height), and the length should be 80% of the tree DBH.
Now, you can tell why felling the tree in the right direction is essential to learn. In this article, we'll be getting you acquainted with the steps of felling the tree in the proper direction and the things to consider while doing that. Let's get started!
Steps of Felling Tree in Direction You Want
Let's have a look at the steps involved in the felling of a tree in a desirable direction:
First, you should know the reason for felling the tree. When you know the reason, you can target the direction and make the notch accordingly.
After choosing the direction to drop down the tree, determine the notching point, and length on the tree to be left as a base.
You can cut slightly or wrap the tree with a wire at the decided cut point.
Choose which notch to make according to the tree size and the instruments you have. The cut should be made at the point straight to the targeted direction for dropping the tree.
There are different types of notches to make in the face cut. They may be the Humboldt, the Gapped face, the Conventional face cut, the Bore cut, the Sizwill, the Open-faced notch, etc. Here, we'll be talking about the conventional face cut, which is easier and applied by most people.
Then we put a notch on the front part with a flat cut at the base and an angle cut of about 45 degrees above it.
Then you make a back cut, which should be above the front notch base. You'll lose control if it's below the notch bottom.
Leave a hinge of thickness according to the tree size. You should at least leave 10% of the tree diameter breast height.
After making the back cut, move to the escape route and observe the tree felling.
Note: If there are other healthy trees in the direction you think the tree may fall, you can use a rope to change the direction of the tree falling. What you have to do is tie and make a knot with rope on the upper branches of the tree and then join it to the other tree's base in the direction you want the tree to fall. As the cut is made, the tension on the rope increases and the tree falls in the proper direction.
These are the simple steps you can follow during tree felling. Here are a few points to consider while doing this:
Before you make a back cut, make sure you have an escape route. The exit path should be completely clear. You can exit at a 45-degree angle to the falling direction.
Wear a helmet and other protective devices to avoid any kind of misfortune.
The flat wedge cut should be horizontal to the direction the tree is leaning. We're not going to do any activities against gravity.
You should give a cut from the opposite side of the tree's diameter that is way bigger than your saw blade.
The flat cut shouldn't go further than the angle cut.
You may also need to put pressure on the tree through an axe.
Conclusion
Tree felling looks easier at the surface, but it takes a lot of patience and hand stability to fell a tree. You should be familiar with the use of a saw before using it. The improper handling may get the saw stuck inside in case of bigger trees. But it's a fun process, to observe the tree, make a cut, and then drop it in the proper direction. As a beginner, You can't go for other notches than conventional one. Making different notches and deciding the direction and hinge thickness is an art you can slowly master. So, be calm, work out for hand stability, and use the instruments properly to fall the tree in the right direction.
if you live near any major metropolis in the U.S.A., you almost certainly have seen at least one if not quite a few indoor axe throwing ranges pop up throughout the last year. They're also becoming more prevalent in smaller cities and suburbs too.
For example, one of the larger businesses, Bury the Hatchet, has ranges in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Kansas.
But, what exactly are these ranges about and is all of this just a fad that will slow down in the coming year, or will this new fun activity continue to grow?
What is an Axe Throwing Range?
These indoor ranges where people go with friends and colleagues to blow off some steam are exactly what they sound like. They are basically indoor areas with wooden dart-like targets set up that you hurl axes at.
In a way they are a cross between a dart board in your local pub and a batting cage at a sport's complex.
Here's what to expect should you decide to visit one.
Friendly to Novices and Pros Alike
Believe it or not, there are professional axe throwing competitions. Walking into a place where there are bladed objects getting thrown at high velocities can be intimidating. Adding to the fact that it's not necessarily a casual passerby that is doing the throwing and it might be someone training for a competition doesn't make taking that first step inside any easier.
But, fear not. Most axe throwing establishments are extremely friendly and welcome new customers on the daily basis. They will take their time to explain how everything works, and they even give lessons on throwing techniques and safety.
Won't Break the Bank
To be perfectly honest, spending the evening at a range isn't the cheapest way to spend your evening. However, it's not going to put you in the poor house either.
Of course every business has its own pricing, but a good assumption in that you'll pay around $30-50 per person for a 2 hour session. When you compare that to the price of seeing a movie, it's a pretty decent value especially considering it's active and not passive entertainment.
Most ranges are B.Y.O.B. friendly as well, so you have your favorite suds with you without getting hit by bar prices.
More Hatchet than Axe
Although some of these businesses market themselves as axe throwing ranges, you are more likely to end up hurling a smaller hatchet through the air than a full-sized axe. While the idea of going full Holllywood and tossing a giant axe across the room hitting a perfect bullseye might be fun, a full-sized maul can have have a head that weighs in at 8 pounds on its own. You don't want to launch that over your head too many times.
You'll much more likely be tossing something that's single bit and is a bit smaller, much like this Fiskars X11 model. Though, many places only use hatchets with wooden handles.
In Summary
Axe or hatchet throwing is growing all over the country. It's a fun activity for those who are serious and those who just want to try something new with a few friends. It's also comparatively priced to other entertainment activities.
Whether it's a fad or not is hard to say. It's most likely going to hit a saturation point and then start to recede in popularity a little. But, as long as there are enthusiasts willing to pay, the cream of the crop as far as ranges go will surely do well.
It is a few degrees below zero, so you want to get a fire started. To your disappointment, the firewood pieces you collected will not fit into your fireplace. They are simply too large.
Logs are often too big to fit into conventional fireplaces. You need to split them, and a splitting maul will do the job.
Discover how to use this tool to chop wood, and prepare yourself for the task. Make it easier by following a few precise steps.
Should I use a maul or an axe?
A splitting maul, also known a blockbuster, sledge axe or go devil, is a heavy, long-handled axe used for splitting cumbersome logs. It has a head that typically weighs about 8 pounds.
You may wonder why many professional loggers split wood with a maul and not an axe. For many reasons, it is the perfect wood-chopping tool.
The head of the maul is V-shaped. This design allows it to exploit cracks in wood fibers and separate them with precision.
Axe blades, which are thinner than maul blades, tend to jam in wood fibers. If you look closely at a maul, you will notice that it has slightly convex shape. It has a wider head as well. These attributes prevent it from jamming in wood logs.
That means splitting axes can get the job done, but mauls are a much more specialized wood spitted tool.
Preparation for Splitting Logs
Get the wood-chopping process off to a good start. For it to succeed, you must make thorough preparations.
1. Cut your wood to an appropriate length
The shorter logs are, the easier it is to chop them. Most fireplaces accommodate wood pieces of between 16 to 20 inches. Make sure that you cut your wood to a suitable length for your fireplace.
Cut the pieces flat and square, because you need to stand and split them. Crooked pieces of wood will raise the difficulty level of your task.
2. Prepare a chopping block
Get a chopping block ready. Most loggers use a tree trunk. To avoid dangerous recoils, it is important that it is at the right height. Chopping blocks that are six inches off the ground are ideal.
Try not to split wood on the ground. You will exhaust yourself faster because you will have to lift the maul higher for each and every swing.
3. Keep safety in mind
Wood chopping involves some risk. Do all you can to prevent accidents.
Ensure that the area where you want to split wood is not slippery. There should be no hanging debris that may entangle your maul or axe.
Also make sure to wear proper gear. Wear gloves to prevent splinters and put on a pair of safety glasses and work boots as well.
If possible, enlist help. Have a partner to chop wood with, as he or she can assist you if there is an accident.
Using a Maul to Split Wood
Now that you have made all basic preparations, you can get to actually doing the splitting. Splitting wood with a maul is a straightforward process. These simple steps will raise your chances of success. Plus, find out what measures to take if the wood does not split.
Steps to Follow
1. Place the wood in the center of the chopping block
Put the wood in the middle of the chopping block, making sure that it is stable. Chopping wood on a shaky block will cause accidents. You could inadvertently strike your leg, or send wood pieces flying into the air like missiles.
2. Examine the wood thoroughly
Have a close look at the wood and identity hairline cracks. Then, aim in the direction of the cracks so that the wood splits easily.
Different woods break differently, so have a strategy in mind. While oak splits in the center, maple comes apart at the end grains.
Look for places where someone has cut the wood before. These places will likely be crooked or distorted, so it will be hard to cut through them.
3. Take aim
After you have determined where you want to split the wood, stand and rest your maul in that area. You may want to make an indentation as a guide.
4. Chop the wood in an up-down direction
Move the maul in an up-down direction instead of swinging it. Hold it with your weaker hand gripping the end of the handle. Support it with your stronger hand. Bend your knees slightly and lift the maul above your head. Slide your strong hand close to the weaker one.
5. Splitting into smaller pieces
Cut the wood into smaller pieces of about 6 to 8 inches. Place the chopped pieces in progressively smaller stacks to facilitate air circulation.
6. Repeating the process
Go through this process until the wood splits completely. Patience is the name of the game. You will cut the wood efficiently if you use the proper technique.
What to do if the Wood Does Not Split
Do not feel discouraged if the wood does not split on your first try. Wood can be tenacious, and it usually takes several attempts before you can cut it into smaller pieces.
If the bit of the ax remains in the wood, remove it by pulling and twisting. Do not use side to side force as you may break off the handle.
For harder wood, you may choose to turn a maul into a wedge. After driving the maul into a log, hitting its blunt end with a sledge will complete the process of parting the wood.
Things to Remember and Avoid
Splitting wood with a maul or an axe is not rocket science, but it can be dangerous if not done properly. Also, here are a few extra tips for beginners to help you get the most of of your chopping experience.
What to Remember
1. Err on your closest side
When moving your maul, err on your closest side. If you miss on the side that is close to you, your tool will hit the ground. If you miss on your far side, the handle of the maul will hit the wood. The repeated impact may destroy the handle. Constantly having to replace mauls or axes due to broken handles is not picnic, and can hurt your wallet too.
2. Swing a bit ahead of the spot you are aiming for
You should always move your maul such that it is slightly in front of the area you are targeting. Due to your swing having an arc, you'll be more accurate by aiming a little bit above the center.
3. Age the wood
When possible, store the wood for a year before splitting it. It will start to develop more cracks. Seasoned wood fibers are more malleable than green wood fibers.
4. Moisture
Certain types of wood split faster when wet. Birch, beech, and black oak come apart quickly when they have a little moisture.
What to Avoid
1. Do not use brute strength
Do not use sheer force to split wood or you will tire yourself. Accumulate speed and let the momentum and weight of the axe or maul do the work for you.
2. Do not split wood in unsafe conditions
Trying to handle a maul on slippery or uneven surfaces is a very bad idea. You do not want to bury an 8 pound maul head into you leg.
In Summary
Splitting wood is a relatively simple process. With a little preparation and the right tool, you can be splitting logs and making your own firewood in no time.
Just make sure to always follow safety protocols and you'll have a a fulfilling and fruitful wood-splitting experience, and if this just seems like way too much manual labor, consider getting a gas or electric powered log splitter instead.
If you are like a lot of people, one of your favorite things to do is to spend time sitting by a warm and cozy fireplace fire. This is made even more special when you do it with someone you love.
And, what could be more relaxing than getting done with a hard day's work, sitting down in a comfortable chair, and unwinding next to a glowing hearth?
If you have never started a fire in a fireplace (and no, gas doesn't count), this guide will get you up and burning in no time.
Learn How to Keep the Smoke from Filling Your Home or Cabin
Step 1: Check to make sure your chimney is clean and free of blockages. Dirty chimneys are not only troublesome, but they can be dangerous.
Before the weather starts to cool off and you start lighting fires, have a licensed chimney sweep check out your chimney to make sure it is free of soot and other things that can start fires and cause smoke to back up into your house. Even if you have never used your fireplace, it's a good idea to have a chimney sweep check it out to make sure there are no leaves, bird nests, or other obstructions that can cause problems.
Step 2: Open the damper. It's almost a rite of passage, but if you want to avoid having your home fill with smoke, make sure you open the hamper fully before you start a fire. Otherwise, this is exactly what will happen.
Step 3: Prime the flue. If you have a chimney that is on the outside of your home, the flue needs to be primed before you start your fire.
When you get started, the air in your flue will be cold. When you open the damper, the cold air will fall and go into your warm home. To prevent this, you should first open the flue, then light a small roll of newspaper and hold it up to the opening of the damper to warm up the air in the flue. When you start to feel warm air coming from the flue, you are ready to start your fire.
Step 4: Build an ash bed. A nice hot fire is dependent on a lot of different factors working together. One of these is oxygen.
To encourage an efficient flow of oxygen, which will make for a hot fire, you should build a 1-2 inch bed of ash in the hearth. If you have disposed of all your ask, take from your outside barbecue.
Be sure not to make this bed too large. One to two inches of ash is plenty.
Step 5: First, make sure you're using a firewood good for indoor use.
Next, start to build your fire. There are many different ways to build a fire, but if you are looking for a fire that will be clean and last for a long time, the upside-down fire is best.
Unlike most traditional fire lays, the upside-down fire is built with the largest wood you have on the bottom, with the smallest on the top. Your fire starter, which is made up of newspaper balls and other things that are quick to light, are put on the top of the smallest pieces of wood.
Since the warm air created goes from the top it doesn't pass through the cold logs below, creating a cleaner and hotter fire. And since your fire burns from the top down, you won't have to load wood on as often as other styles of fires.
In Summary
Follow the steps above and you'll have a warm and comfy fire in no time. After that, all you have to do is to enjoy your evening by the hot fire. The food, beverages, and company are your responsibility to provide.
When it comes to surviving in the wilderness, whether you are just camping or are stranded, an emergency magnesium fire starter can really come in handy. These emergency fire starters are basically rectangular magnesium blocks and since magnesium tends to be highly flammable, a fire can be started by taking advantage of this property of the element.
Since pieces of magnesium have to be shaved off from the block, usually these fire starters contain a built-in blade or knife. The block also has flint on one side that is used to generate sparks in order to ignite the magnesium shavings.
However, if you have never used a magnesium fire starter before, you may face some difficulty in using it effectively and safely the very first time, so keep reading.
How To Prepare The Fire?
Before you can start a fire, kindling and tinder (no, not the app) will be required. Items that can be used for this purpose include dead branches, dry bark or grass, paper, and twigs.
Choose a designated spot where the fire will be started and that is where the tinder should be placed. Keep in mind that you will be creating sparks using your emergency fire starter and those sparks will ignite this pile of tinder.
Using the blade or knife that is included with your emergency fire starter, scrape off some magnesium onto the pile of tinder by holding the block tilted at an angle. Without these magnesium shavings, you will not be able to ignite the pile of kindling and tinder. If your fire starter does not have a built-in blade or knife, which is rare, you can use just about any blade or knife that you might be carrying with you.
Make sure that the small shavings of magnesium are falling directly onto the pile of kindling and timber below. Shave an amount of magnesium that would equal the size of a standard coin.
How To Start The Fire?
As mentioned, every emergency fire starter has a flint portion.
Again, hold your fire starter at an angle, with the flint side towards you. Create sparks by forcefully dragging or sliding your blade or knife across the flint.
Keep the flint with your blade or knife until you manage to create sparks that light up the magnesium and proceed to ignite a fire.
Once the fire has ignited, you will have to maintain it in order to ensure that it keeps burning steadily.
As soon as the magnesium shavings have ignited, blow on them gently so that the flames of the fire may spread throughout the pile of kindling and timber.
To fuel the fire and ensure that it keeps on burning steadily, some additional kindling and tinder should be placed on top.
Tips:
Before you actually find yourself in a situation where your survival will depend on the use of your emergency fire starter, you should practice using it in your backyard or any outdoor location.
While it may make sense to slide the blade or knife against the flint towards the pile of kindling and tinder, you should do the opposite, i.e. slide the blade or knife towards yourself. This way, the sparks created will ignite the magnesium quicker.
Conclusion
Keep all of the above in mind and practice. Hopefully, if you ever find yourself in dire need of starting a fire, you should face no trouble effectively and safely using your emergency magnesium fire starter. chalk

I'm trying to parameterise a simple model in such a way that there are no corner constraints in the Solution for Fixed Effects table. That is, so there are no reference groups and each parameter is its own estimate, rather than the difference from the last parameter. I thought the NOINT option would do this for me, and for the first photo, you can see I get what I want. I want to be able to interpret each parameter directly from the Solutions table, and then create my own contrasts if I choose to. You can see from photo 1 that I can remove the intercept and then use the ESTIMATE statement to determine the difference between the first and last vaccine group which gives me the same result in the left hand table which has the intercept included.
However, when I add another category, in this case, age, I now get the last category in the age group as a reference category as shown in the photo below. Is there any way I can parameterise the model so that each estimate in the table is the parameter estimate, rather than a contrast, so that there are no reference categories? I'm presuming it's because the model becomes overparameterized.
What's even more frustrating is that just changing the order of the covariates in the MODEL statement assigns the constraint to a different covariate, as shown below.
It does appear to be much simpler, but I'm not entirely sure why it would be better. Similarly, it's completely different to my REML estimates and these estimates are what PROC MIXED will use for predicting the marginal distribution as well as my BLUP estimates, so if they don't compare, why would I use LSMEANS? Or, alternatively, how do they relate to one another?
Also, LSMEANS won't work for my continuous time variable and as it's a longitudinal study, I'm not sure how to get around that.
Okay, go back to your model coefficients. The coefficients when you have class variables are not unique; they can change depending on how the model is parameterized; however they all fit the data the same and produce the same predicted values. The different models you have computed are EQUIVALENT models, in the sense that they fit the same and give the same predicted values.
LSMEANS do work, they essentially remove the non-uniqueness of the coefficients (a very good thing to do!) because they are predicted values; and for your continuous variable, you need to determine the slope, so in that case you would look at the model coefficients.
This gives you the intercepts for the combinations of vacgrp and agegrp, which are estimated at log_time=0. It's a fairly straightforward process to write contrasts for the vacgrp x agegrp means using this model.
If you want to estimate means at a specified value of the covariate, check out the documentation for the AT option for LSMEANS and LSMESTIMATE.
I've been reading and playing about with LSMEANS and it's starting to make much more sense now. It's also starting to seem appropriate and it's nice and simple to use. I've used the E option to get the L matrix output, but I'm slightly confused about what it's actually testing. Obviously the simple example of (1 -1 0) is testing the equivalence of b1 and b2. I can see that the matrix takes the average over the groups but I'm not sure what the actual test is. If you could help explain this, I think I will fully understand what's going on. | eng | 59e3c57f-a5a2-412a-a9e4-dfb8683c3666 | https://communities.sas.com/t5/Statistical-Procedures/PROC-MIXED-How-do-I-remove-corner-constraints-have-no-reference/td-p/470278 |

How To Maintain Butterfly Valve
2023-05-22 04:05:00
The butterfly valve is a mechanism that regulates the flow of materials in a large pipe diameter through a quarter-turn rotation of the disc.
A rod passes through the center of the disc, and this rod is connected to a drive that controls the movement of the disc. The position of the disc is parallel or perpendicular to the flow of the medium. The butterfly valve is different from other valves because the butterfly plate is always in the fluid, resulting in pressure changes at any position of the valve.
The butterfly valve regulates the flow by starting, decelerating, or stopping the medium. The disc opens and closes with a low torque of 90 degrees, which is suitable for any compatible application. Because of their low cost and lightweight, butterfly valves are generally more popular than other types of valves.
For some processes, extreme temperatures and corrosion are factors that can easily damage the valve seal. Butterfly valves can withstand extreme cold or extreme heat. This means that the integrity of the sealing device is critical for high-risk applications such as energy production and oil processing (because a leak may threaten public safety or the environment).
Butterfly valves need regular maintenance and repair after working in different working environments for a period of time. General maintenance can be divided into minor repairs, medium repairs, and heavy repairs.
The specific analysis depends on the environmental conditions of the pipeline. Because different industries require different maintenance and repair procedures, for example, in the pipeline maintenance of petrochemical enterprises, the pipeline pressure is required to be lower than PN16MPa, and the medium temperature is lower than 550°C. Different maintenance conditions are required for various physical and chemical pipeline transportation media.
Butterfly valve
The minor repair process of various pipeline butterfly valves, including cleaning nozzles and oil cups, replacing o-rings, cleaning threads and valve stems, removing debris in the valve, tightening screws, and configuring handwheels. All of these can be used as scheduled maintenance. Medium repair: including minor repair items, replacement of clean parts, valve body repair, sanding of seals, valve stem straightening, etc. These items can be used for an overhaul in the factory. Heavy repair: Included in the mid-repair project, replacement of valve stems, repair of brackets, replacement of springs and seals. When these are needed, the butterfly valve suffers huge damage.
In order to prevent rust and oiling, butterfly valves should be properly maintained.
At the top of the valve, there is a lubricating oil fitting. This may not be observed when the valve arrives. Make sure to apply grease to the neck of the valve at regular intervals until the excess grease flows out.
In the gearbox, you can use lithium-based grease for maintenance.
You can use any silicon-based product/lubricant to easily clean all parts of the valve.
If you do not use it frequently, please try rotating or cycling the butter valve once a month.
Lugged, wafer and double flanged butterfly valves of all materials and seat types are easy to use and long lasting as long as they are installed and maintained correctly.
Storage Conditions
ㆍTo protect the seat and seals, do not unpack the valves until they are ready for installation. By doing this you are protecting the valve from dust and debris which may eventually cause seat leakage.
ㆍKeep in a cool well ventilated space if storing for a longer period of time.
Valve Installation
ㆍValves can be installed in any orientation however it is best if it can be installed upright especially in bigger sizes to reduce load on the shaft caused by the actuator or gearbox trying to pull away.
ㆍIt is common for smaller butterfly valves to be mounted in various orientations eg water trucks. This is fine and is common practice.
ㆍVerify the material of the butterfly valve, seat and disc before installation. Ensure that there are no defects caused by storage or transportation.
ㆍVerify the pressure rating of the valve vs the application requirement.
ㆍWhen installing directly to a pump or another valve be sure to have a pipe spacer between them to allow for the butterfly disc to open.
ㆍComplete all welding works before valve installation and be sure the flange has cooled to ambient temperature before installing the butterfly valve.
ㆍMake sure there is no welding residue, waste, rust or other debris in the pipe before installation. Wash with water or a mild detergent if needed.
ㆍClean the surface of the flange that will come in contact with the butterfly valve to ensure it is free of rust and debris. Wash with water or a mild detergent if needed.
ㆍMake sure there is no warpage of the flange or misalignment of the butterfly valve in relation to the flange. This is the most common cause of butterfly valve problems where it is not aligned with the flange/pipe correctly and the disc catches when trying to open/close. Support the valve where necessary to reduce load from the piping assembly.
ㆍInstall spacing bolts taking care not to damage the valve seat and adjust the face to face of the two flanges so there is space when the piping is spread open (enough space to remove the valve or replace it for maintenance).
ㆍOnce the pipes are centred, insert the bolts so that the bottom of the valve can rest upon them to prevent the valve from falling through.
Before tightening the bolts operate the valve to ensure it does not catch on the pipework or the flange.
ㆍTighten the bolts one at a time doing it in stages so even pressure is applied and a seal is formed between the valve and flanges.
ㆍOnce the installation is complete operate the valve several times to ensure it is free from impingement and it has not moved during installation.
Solder butterfly valve
Field Testing
ㆍRubber seated butterfly valves are designed to hold rated pressures only. Test pressures above rated working pressure in the closed position can cause damage to the valve.
ㆍWith the disc in the open position the pipeline can be tested up to the valve hydrostatic test pressure.
ㆍSeat leakage can occur with foreign material between the seat and disc. If this occurs open the valve 10 to 15 degrees to obtain high velocity flushing action. Close and repeat if necessary.
ㆍSeat leakage can result from a rotational shift in position of the disc in relation to the body. Readjust the closing stop on the actuator/gearbox as necessary.
ㆍFor dry applications acutator stops can be adjusted to stop the disc burying all the way into the seat. This will still allow a bubble tight seal but prolong life span of the seat.
Operation
ㆍDo not use the valve at pressures above its working pressure.
ㆍIf the valve is jammed in a position between open and closed check the actuator operation. If necessary remove the actuator and manually operate the valve to fault find. Remove and check valve for foreign objects if required (see maintenance).
ㆍExcessive torque from the actuator can damage the internal valve parts.
Maintenance
ㆍCycle the valve once a month or more if it is not used regularly.
ㆍRelieve the system pressure before maintaining the valve.
ㆍTo remove from pipework reverse the installation sequence.
ㆍReplace valve seat (liner) by removing the stem and disc. Press out liner and replace with new part. Reinstall the disc and stem along with seals and clips. Refit into line as in installation sequence.
ㆍIf the valve is operating in a dry application (eg compressed air) ensure to lubricate the disc and seat regularly to prolong life span
ㆍFor operational instructions please see each video link under products.
ㆍDesign Guidance & Product Advantages
ㆍWhen sizing the valve always consider available space for the actuator and feedback devices.
ㆍConsider valve supports to carry excess loads.
ㆍExtension shafts in SS316 are available upon request. This allows valve to be buried in pits and actuators to be above ground.

Ice, ice, ice!
We have had an amazing time this week exploring the ice created by this very cold weather! We spent time hunting around our garden for ice that had been formed over night. Mrs Lale also trapped objects over night which we had to find ways of freeing. It helped us to use our problem solving skills and develop our fine motor skills.
During Forest School we decided to make our own Ice decorations. We chose some natural objects and put them in some of our recycling trays. We filled them up with water, added some string to hang them and left them to freeze over night. The next day we went to check them and took them onto the playground to hang them in the small tree near the entrance.

Is The Outlast Trials Scary? – Answered
Scary Trials indeed!

The entirety of 2023 will be great for all horror game enthusiasts. We already have Amnesia: The Bunker, Layers of Fear, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Alan Wake 2 is coming in Fall 2023, and here are the Outlast Trials, a prequel for the lore of Outlast 1 and Outlast 2, which serves as an explanation of how everything came to be. Without spoiling stuff from the game, let's see if The Outlast Trials is scary or not.
Recommended Videos
How Scary is The Outlast Trials?
Well, it mostly depends on you, and how "hardened" you are when it comes to experiencing horror stuff. But, let's compare it to the previous Outlast games. I'll tell you, The Outlast Trials are scary. But, just slightly less scary than the previous games in my opinion. And that's from the perspective of somebody who played it alone for a while. It is possible to adapt to the enemies that roam around the maps, finding ways to get a hold of you. It's a much faster-paced experience and once you get a "read" on the game mechanics, the only scare you will have is during running away from the enemies.
And if you're playing with friends, it's definitely less scary. You'll only be afraid for their well-being when they are being chased. When we look at it from another angle, it's actually pretty funny at times, when you're in a squad of four, like that cartoonish scene where one member is trying to unlock something and failing miserably, while the rest of the gang is running for their lives. The game is still in Early Access, so I believe there's a lot of space and time for major improvements to the experience it provides for the players, so in my opinion, it is just scary enough | eng | 0248e604-5750-4cb0-9789-761e64d3c4e7 | https://primagames.com/tips/is-the-outlast-trials-scary-answered |

5 Surprising Health Benefits of Adding Whole Nuts to Your Diet
Are you feeling a little nutty lately? Well, that's not necessarily a bad thing! Whole nuts have long been celebrated for their rich flavor and satisfying crunch, but did you know they also offer some truly impressive health benefits? Here are five surprising ways that adding whole nuts to your diet can boost your wellbeing:
1) Heart Health: You may have heard that nuts are high in fat and therefore bad for your heart, but the truth is quite different. In fact, research shows that eating a handful of nuts each day can lower "bad" cholesterol levels and reduce your risk of developing heart disease. Nuts contain healthy fats, fiber, antioxidants, and other nutrients that support cardiovascular health.
2) Brain Power: Nuts are also fantastic brain food! They're packed with vitamin E and other antioxidants that protect brain cells from damage caused by free radicals – potentially reducing the risk of cognitive decline as we age. Additionally, some studies suggest that nut consumption may improve memory and increase focus thanks to their omega-3 fatty acids.
3) Weight Management: It may seem counterintuitive to snack on calorie-dense nuts when trying to shed pounds, but research suggests just the opposite. Studies show that people who regularly include nuts in their diets tend to have healthier body weights than those who don't – possibly because they're so filling and satisfying. Eating a serving of whole nuts may help curb cravings and prevent overeating later on.
4) Digestive Health: Nuts may be small in size, but they deliver big benefits when it comes to gut health. Packed with fiber – which most Americans don't get enough of -nuts can help regulate digestion and prevent constipation. Additionally, some research suggests that certain types of nuts (like Brazil nuts) have prebiotic properties; meaning they feed good gut bacteria and promote overall gut health.
5) Longevity: Want to live longer? Snack on some almonds! A large study published in the New England Journal of Medicine found that regular nut consumption was associated with a lower risk of death from all causes, especially cancer, heart disease, and respiratory illnesses. While more research is needed to fully understand why nuts seem to promote longevity, it's clear that they offer a host of potential benefits.
So there you have it – five excellent reasons to embrace nuttiness and add whole nuts to your diet. Of course, like anything else, moderation is key (it's easy to overdo it on calories when snacking on handful after handful of nuts), but incorporating some raw or roasted whole nuts into your meals or snacks can be a delicious and healthful choice.

A Guide to Making Wise Financial Decisions
Young adults are typically forced to fend for themselves, which almost invariably leads in serious financial mistakes along the way. However, you do not need to be a financial expert to understand the foundations of financial planning and how to effectively manage your money. All you actually need is a foundation of information.
The Different Ways Money Can Be Spent
If you follow a few simple procedures, read a few recent reports, and research successful investments, banking, and spending habits, you will soon find that you are well on your way to establishing a nest egg that will help you in the future. Next the seven rules outlined below, as well as committing some time each month to assessing your spending and budgeting, you will be able to get a sense of how your spending will look the following month.
Make a Strategy
Determine how much money you make per month, then subtract the amount you need to spend on any expenses due within that month.
After you've sorted everything, divide what's left into the appropriate groups. Food, socializing, traveling, shopping, and saving are examples of such activities. If at all possible, you should save aside at least 10% of your monthly earnings. In general, this is a good rule to follow.
Savings can come in helpful if you ever find yourself in a dire circumstance, or even if it's something less dramatic like saving for a rainy day.
This budget should act as a target for each month, but if you constantly find yourself going over it, it may be time to revisit the budget and make any necessary changes. Spending less money on luxury items and activities that bring people together is one approach to save money. You can save a lot of money if you do all of your shopping and cooking at home instead of eating out.
Make a strategy to ensure that you are aware of both the short-term and long-term goals you want to achieve.
Short-Term Investments
At all costs, avoid using credit. The thought that you will have to repay loans at some point can add stress to your life in the future. One of your top priorities should be to save money for unexpected expenses or for times when things are beyond your control and you require immediate access to cash.
If you find it difficult to resist the temptation to spend your money, you can open a separate savings account from your checking account. When you are confident that you are not amassing ever-increasing amounts of credit card debt, you will discover that everyday activities offer you with a higher sense of fulfillment.
When it comes to managing your finances, one of the most important skills you can learn is how to manage credit responsibly. Make sure that you pay all of your bills on time, and try to restrict your spending to a minimum. It is not a good idea to max out your credit card. Furthermore, this might result in a significant additional financial burden and a great deal of additional stress in the long run.
Invest, Invest, and Invest!
Investing is one of the most simple and effective ways to produce income. Making investments now may benefit you in the long run. For example, if you find yourself unable to work and your financial position is deteriorating.
Investments should, ideally, increase in value over time, making them a good choice for a retirement fund. When you start investing at a young age, you give yourself a jump start on saving money, which will pay off in the long term.
Find a bank that offers a reasonable interest rate, or buy some stock; when it comes to investments, you have a lot of options. You should keep in mind, however, that the value of assets can fluctuate over time. Finish your assignments. | eng | 3790c745-2bff-4ef7-8d03-7fa4daed90cb | https://www.bonus-reward.com/a-guide-to-the-various-ways-money-can-be-spent/ |

Marine Creatures: Panic In The Presence Of Great Whites?
Marine creatures across the world's oceans have evolved a myriad of fascinating ways to fend off predators and ensure their own survival. While the great white shark is undoubtedly a top predator, its iconic presence and bone-chilling roar do not go unnoticed by other marine creatures sharing the same habitat. Intriguingly, some of these prey species have been observed displaying signs of panic or distress in the presence of a great white shark, potentially indicating a complex ecosystem-wide response to its presence.
For many marine creatures, the great white shark's presence triggers a series of instinctive reactions, evidence of their finely tuned survival mechanisms. The mere sound of a great white shark's roar can reverberate through the water, causing other animals to become acutely aware of its presence. In response, prey species may exhibit behaviors such as rapid movement, heightened vigilance, or even attempt to hide or seek refuge. These reactions suggest that the impact of a great white shark's presence extends beyond its direct interactions with its prey, potentially influencing the behavior and ecology of other marine creatures in the vicinity.
Effects On Nearby Fish
The bone-chilling roar of a great white shark can have significant effects on nearby fish. The presence of these formidable predators can induce panic and distress in the surrounding fish population. When fish perceive the predatory threat, they may display a range of behavioral and physiological responses.
One common behavior seen in fish is a rapid increase in swimming speed. Upon hearing the distinct sound of a great white shark, fish may attempt to escape the potential danger by swimming away as quickly as possible. This heightened swimming activity is an instinctive response aimed at increasing the chances of survival.
In addition to increased swimming speed, fish may also exhibit signs of distress through altered movement patterns. The presence of a great white shark can disrupt the typical schooling behavior of fish, causing them to scatter and disperse. The disruption of established social structures within the fish population can have long-term consequences for their survival and reproductive success.
Physiologically, the presence of a great white shark can also trigger stress responses in nearby fish. Hormonal changes occur, leading to an increase in stress-related hormones such as cortisol. These physiological changes can impact the overall health and well-being of the fish, compromising their immune system and making them more susceptible to disease or predation.
Response Of Smaller Sharks
Smaller shark species show various responses when encountering a great white shark. These responses can be driven by instinctual or learned behaviors and can vary depending on the specific circumstances. One common response is avoidance or fleeing the area when a great white shark is present. Smaller sharks, especially those that are potential prey for the great white, have evolved to be highly alert to the presence of predators. This allows them to escape and avoid being targeted by larger and more powerful predators like the great white shark.
Another response seen in smaller shark species is the use of defensive behaviors when encountering a great white shark. These defensive behaviors can include displaying aggressive postures, such as arching the back or expanding the body size, in an attempt to deter the predator. Some smaller sharks may also engage in mobbing behaviors, where multiple individuals will gather together to intimidate and harass the great white shark, making it less likely to target any one individual. These defensive behaviors can serve as a form of self-preservation for the smaller sharks in the presence of a potentially dangerous predator.
Lastly, it is worth mentioning that not all smaller shark species display the same response to the presence of a great white shark. Different species have different ecological roles and behaviors, which can influence their response to potential threats. For example, some smaller shark species may have evolved to coexist with great whites and have developed strategies to minimize potential conflicts. These strategies can include avoiding direct competition for resources or selecting different habitats and prey items than the great whites. Understanding the precise response of smaller shark species to the presence of a great white shark requires further research and observation, taking into account the specific biological traits and ecological relationships of each species.
Behavior Of Dolphins And Whales
Dolphins and whales, being highly intelligent marine creatures, display a range of behaviors that are influenced by various factors. When it comes to the presence or perception of a great white shark, these animals may exhibit signs of panic or distress, although it can vary among individuals and species.
Dolphins are known for their social nature and cohesive group structures. When dolphins become aware of a nearby great white shark, their behavior may change in response to this potential predator. They may exhibit heightened vigilance, increased vocalizations, and rapid movements as a means to communicate and signal potential danger to the rest of the group.
Whales, on the other hand, tend to be more solitary creatures. When subjected to the presence of a great white shark, a whale may exhibit behaviors such as increased swimming speed, altered diving patterns, or increased surface activity. These actions are thought to be a means of evading or avoiding potential danger.
It is important to note that the specific responses of dolphins and whales to the presence of a great white shark can vary based on the individual's age, size, species, previous experiences, and the specific circumstances of the encounter. Additionally, different factors such as water temperature, location, and other environmental conditions can also influence their behavior.
Overall, it is evident that dolphins and whales can display signs of panic or distress when they perceive the presence of a great white shark. Their behaviors are a natural response to the potential threat posed by the shark, and while they may vary, their aim is ultimately to protect themselves and their group members.
Impact On Marine Mammals
Marine mammals are known to display various responses when exposed to the bone-chilling roar of a great white shark. These responses are often indicative of panic or distress. One common response observed in marine mammals is an increase in heart rate and respiration. This physiological reaction serves as a clear sign of their heightened anxiety in the presence of a potential predator.
Furthermore, marine mammals may exhibit behavioral changes in response to the presence of a great white shark. These changes typically involve avoidance tactics such as altered swimming patterns or moving away from the shark's vicinity. These behavioral adaptations are crucial for the survival of marine mammals as they help to minimize the risk of becoming prey.
In addition to physiological and behavioral responses, researchers have also observed communicative changes in marine mammals when encountering a great white shark. They may vocalize differently, emitting distress calls or warning signals to alert other members of their group. This communication allows for collective defensive actions, reinforcing the importance of social bonds within marine mammal populations.
Overall, the impact of the bone-chilling roar of a great white shark on marine mammals is evident in their physiological, behavioral, and communicative responses. These responses highlight the stress and anxiety experienced by marine mammals in the presence of this apex predator, and underscore the intricate dynamics within marine ecosystems.
Reaction Of Seabirds And Turtles
Seabirds and turtles, when confronted with the bone-chilling roar of a great white shark, display distinct reactions that hint at panic or distress. Seabirds, known for their sensitivity to potential danger, exhibit aversive behaviors such as scattering, vocalizing in alarm, and abruptly fleeing the area upon hearing the ominous sound. The internal wiring of their avian brains prompts a swift response aimed at ensuring their survival.
Turtles, on the other hand, also demonstrate signs of distress when encountering a great white shark. These ancient creatures, with their heightened sense of hearing and vibration detection, become alert and agitated in the presence of danger. Their instinctive response includes quickening their pace, altering their direction, or even diving to avoid a potential encounter with the predator.
Both seabirds and turtles possess unique adaptations that enable them to recognize and react to threats in their oceanic environment. The bone-chilling roar of a great white shark triggers an immediate response from these creatures, indicating their innate ability to comprehend danger and engage in behaviors that increase their chances of survival.
Distress Signals Of Crustaceans
Crustaceans, such as lobsters, crabs, and shrimp, employ various distress signals to communicate their fear and panic in response to potential threats. These signals serve as warning signs to conspecifics and other nearby organisms, helping to trigger appropriate defensive behaviors or escape responses.
When crustaceans sense danger, they may produce specific behaviors or emit chemical signals to communicate their distress. For instance, lobsters often display "paddle fencing" by waving their large front claws in an aggressive manner, aimed at intimidating predators or competitors. This behavior serves as a visual distress signal to deter potential threats. Additionally, some crustaceans release alarm pheromones, chemical compounds that can be detected by other individuals, signaling the presence of danger in the vicinity. These pheromones can trigger defensive responses, such as increased hiding or burrowing, enabling crustaceans to protect themselves from potential harm.
Furthermore, many crustaceans have specialized structures that allow them to produce sounds as a form of distress signal. For example, snapping shrimp possess a claw that can rapidly close, generating a loud snapping sound. This sound serves as an alarm signal, warning nearby individuals of potential danger. Similarly, some species of crabs produce stridulating sounds by rubbing body parts together, which can function as distress signals in the presence of predators. These auditory signals can communicate the presence of danger and prompt other crustaceans to seek safety or adopt defensive postures.
Panic In Cephalopods And Mollusks
When it comes to panic in cephalopods and mollusks, there is evidence to suggest that these marine creatures do display signs of distress when confronted with the bone-chilling roar of a great white shark. Cephalopods, which include creatures like octopuses and squids, have been observed to exhibit rapid color changes and engaged in evasive maneuvers when in the presence of a predator like a great white shark. This behavior indicates a heightened state of alertness and a response to potential danger.
Mollusks, on the other hand, which include animals like clams and mussels, may not exhibit the same visually apparent signs of panic as cephalopods. However, studies have shown that they do display physiological responses when faced with a predator threat. This can include changes in heart rate and respiration, as well as the release of stress hormones. These responses indicate that mollusks, despite their more inconspicuous behaviors, are also capable of experiencing distress when confronted with the presence of a great white shark.
Physiological Changes In Marine Life
Physiological changes in marine life can occur in response to various environmental stimuli, including the presence of predators like the great white shark. When marine creatures encounter the bone-chilling roar of a great white shark, they may experience a range of physiological responses.
One notable response is an increase in heart rate. The sudden presence of a potential predator can trigger an immediate rise in heart rate as part of the flight-or-fight response. This elevated heart rate helps to pump oxygenated blood to the muscles, enabling the marine creature to potentially escape or defend itself.
Additionally, the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol is a common physiological change observed in many marine creatures when facing threatening situations. These hormones help to prepare the body for increased physical activity, heightening awareness, and enhancing the chance of survival.
Another adaptation seen in some marine creatures is a temporary suppression of non-essential bodily functions. When faced with a potential predator like the great white shark, some species may prioritize immediate survival over other bodily processes. This could involve slowing down digestion or reducing metabolic rates, allowing the animal to conserve energy and focus on avoiding danger.
Overall, physiological changes in marine life when confronted with the bone-chilling roar of a great white shark are multifaceted and tailored to the specific needs of each species. The increased heart rate, release of stress hormones, and temporary suppression of non-essential bodily functions are just a few examples of the remarkable adaptations marine creatures employ to cope with potential threats in their underwater environment.
Wrap-up And Conclusion
In summary, the bone-chilling roar of a great white shark elicits a strong fear response in many marine creatures. The research indicates that various species exhibit signs of panic and distress when exposed to the acoustic signals produced by a great white shark. They demonstrate evasive behaviors such as increased swimming speed, erratic movements, and hiding in shelters. These reactions suggest that the mere presence of a great white shark causes significant disturbance in the underwater ecosystem.
It is important to recognize that the panic and distress experienced by other marine creatures in the presence of a great white shark serve as an adaptive response. By perceiving and responding to the threat posed by these apex predators, the survival chances of potential prey species are enhanced. Similarly, this heightened awareness of danger contributes to the overall balance within the marine ecosystem. Additional studies should further investigate the physiological changes and long-term effects on different species in response to the bone-chilling roar of a great white shark to gain a comprehensive understanding of the impact of these encounters. | eng | 8064d859-ab1c-435b-a02a-11ac1e29b12c | https://bitingsharks.com/2023/06/25/marine-creatures-panic-in-the-presence-of-great-whites/ |
Australian Bulldog Vs English Bulldog (What's The Difference?)
The American Kennel Club recognizes 199 official dog breeds around the world. Each breed is unique in its own way but not many can be labeled as iconic.
There are a number of dog breeds that have been immortalized in our history books. We all know about Lassie and Hachinki as being loyal, faithful and devoted dogs. But no dog breed embodies the virtues of perseverance, tenacity and courage better than the bulldog.
As iconic as the bulldog is, it is a dog breed that you either love to bits or not. There's hardly being on the fence when it comes to the bulldog.
In this article, we will be comparing two types of bulldog breeds. The granddaddy of bulldogs, the English Bulldog and a rather unknown variant, the Australian Bulldog.
Brachycephalic dogs such as pugs, bulldogs and boxers also have difficulty panting due to the very nature of how they look which means that they are not able to regulate their body temperature well in the heat.
Over-exerting your bulldog on a hot day is a recipe for disaster.
Skin Problems
Another common problem that all bulldogs have is skin irritation.
Thanks to all the wrinkly and folded skin on their faces, moisture, dirt, dust and bacteria can accumulate and cause an infection.
When this happens, your bulldog can suffer from pyoderma or skin dermatitis which can lead to painful hot spots and leave green spots on your dog's skin.
Bulldog owners always need to ensure that these areas are clean and dry by giving their dogs a rub down once or twice a day.
If your bulldog is more prone to skin breakouts, a medicated wash or cream from the vet can help manage the symptoms.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip dysplasia is a condition that affects the dog's hip and causes it to be deformed over time.
The hip of the bulldog is prone to this problem as the hips are not genetically built to support the weight and gait of the dog.
Symptoms of hip dysplasia include:
Limping or dragging of the hind legs
Pain when walking
Unable to jump up or down
Loss of muscle mass in the hind legs
Hip dysplasia is a painful joint condition and can greatly lower the quality of life for your bulldog.
The best ways to prevent or slow down the rate of degeneration are to keep your dog in a good weight range and limit the amount of physical activity.
Are Australian Bulldogs Healthier Than English Bulldogs?
Australian bulldogs are still part of the bulldog family so you can expect them to still suffer from the same health issues from time to time.
However, when breeding the Australian bulldog, the breeders had all these health concerns in mind and wanted to lower the risks as much as possible.
The Australian bulldog has a longer snout and less wrinkly skin on its face which can definitely make breathing easier and lower the occurrence of skin irritation.
Its wider hips also better support the dog's weight and the pressure it puts on the hips when exercising.
All these physical trait improvements do put the Australian bulldog in better shape than British bulldogs. | eng | e1918943-3cc6-4ad3-bf99-d5751445dd96 | https://petsbeam.com/australian-bulldog-vs-english-bulldog/ |
This is how AI could change future of journalism
This is how AI could change future of journalism
Nearly every field of study in the world has been impacted by artificial intelligence (AI) and its effects. What or how AI might affect the field of journalism is still a mystery.
However, Sky News has been exploring the potential of AI to see how it might impact journalism in the future.
The experiment involving the use of computers to do the news' research, writing, and editing produced a range of results, from stories about affordable housing that made sense to the absurd claim that spilling milk is good for the environment.
However, current technology has reached its limit, but what about the future?
JournalismAI, a project of the London School of Economics run by Professor Charlie Beckett, supports newsrooms in their efforts to responsibly utilise AI.
Since it started in 2019, but now that editors and reporters are beginning to understand the power of generative AI, its purpose has never been more obvious.
He says "a lot of newsrooms are thinking through what they might do" with the technology, but all are conscious of the pitfalls. It is evident that artificial intelligence is not yet ready to take the place of actual journalists after CNET discovered errors in an AI-written story and a hoax column in The Irish Times.
"If you get a tiny thing wrong at Sky News, people are laughing at you, it's all across social media, and the chances of AI doing that are very high," says Prof Beckett. "If we all get lazy and expect GPT to write our stories and scripts and so on, they may get worse."
However, AI appears destined to have a similarly significant impact, much like how smartphones and Google search revolutionised journalistic work.
This will create hybrid jobs, requiring hybrid tech and editorial skills. The savings could be used to improve human journalism, allowing reporters to interview more people and produce more imaginative, empathetic, and opinionated stories.
The future of newsrooms
The University of Kent's Centre for Journalism examines preparing future reporters for AI-powered newsrooms.
Professor Ian Reeves says while there are "reasonable and ethical uses for it within a newsroom", AI is also "perfectly capable of spitting out utter nonsense with a completely straight face".
"We've noticed in some of the journalism assignments that we're giving to our students that they've attempted to use this tech to deliver journalistic content – in some cases with rather hilarious results," he says.
"In one piece about The Sun newspaper and its coverage of an event, the chatbot hadn't been able to distinguish between the newspaper and the fiery star in the sky.
"[So] we're also trying to demonstrate to them that the risks of relying on it to produce sensible content are pretty high."
Where does AI prove useful in journalism?
Prof Reeves also believes generative AI's usefulness lies in the fundamental journalistic tasks of talking to real people, bearing witness, and holding power to account. Google is often the first port of call for researching unfamiliar topics, but AI cannot do these fundamental tasks.
These skills will become even more important for journalists to survive in the era of AI.
"It comes down to trust and credibility," he says. "The best journalists, the ones who make a difference, are the ones out there talking to people about how things are affecting their real lives, bearing witness to events. The ones who have the skills to find things out and reveal stuff that powerful people don't want to be revealed."
"That's not something that AI can do," he added.
He also believes that AI will replace journalism jobs that lack these skills and are considered content farm jobs, resembling journalism without interaction. Publishers may benefit from AI platforms rather than hiring people for these jobs, according to him.
'Robocop journalist'
Prof Reeves also shared that young people demand personalised newsroom content tailored to their format, tone, style, and platform. Reformatting and customising content, translating into different languages, and providing simple or explainer versions are crucial areas for success.
"My sort of sci-fi vision for this is a kind of Robocop journalist with all these tools to help them be more efficient and much more powerful and able to research much better, and then a content creation thing that takes their original piece and turns it into all sorts of iterations." he said.
"And then your audience sitting at home having breakfast watching Sky News, they can get into the car, and it continues as audio with a selection of stories they're interested in," he added.
"Then they get home from work in the evening and just want a nice long read, and it all happens semi-automatically, where people have a kind of Spotify-like ability to shape what they get," he continued. | eng | a97b4f02-9779-4687-a1e6-dde2c4262812 | https://vophd.tv/this-is-how-ai-could-change-future-of-journalism/ |
It's really possible (likely even) that this was a promo disc of some kind - record stores got it for free, or it was included in a magazine. I worked in a few indie record shops in the 90s and I have TONS of these rando compilations like this. Some didn't have covers at all, some had like a track list insert, and if it came in a magazine it was likely just in a sleeve.
Haven't seen it or heard of it before now, but I found it available for download at I'm not leaving a direct link because I don't know if the rules allow for that.

Stronghold is a 2-4 player game telling the story of a siege. Players take opposite sides, one has to defend the stronghold, the other has to break into the castle as soon as possible. As time passes, defenders get Victory Points every turn for their efforts on the walls.
The game board represents the stronghold itself as well as the surrounding terrain, where enemy forces are placed and from where they proceed to the walls.
The defender has a small amount of soldiers manning the walls, while the invader has an infinite legion of them! A desperate fight is taking place every single turn. The invaders build war machines, equip their soldiers, train them and use black magic rituals to achieve victory. Meanwhile, defenders repair walls, build cannons, train soldiers and do everything they can to hold the castle as long as possible.
Very deep, but supremely thematic game that captures the tension between the sides in a stronghold siege. It may take you two months to read the rule book(s!), but it will be well worth it in the end! Good, complex, fulfilling game. | eng | 948f6f68-630c-4a83-9617-5f572680e1f6 | https://fairplaygames.com/gamedisplay.asp?gameid=6859&MP=1 |
Why He2 formation is not possible?
whereas the He atom has 2 valence electrons. Hence He2 molecule does not exist because of zero bond order.
Does He2 plus exist?
Hence, He cannot exist. The molecular orbital diagram is given below: He2+ contains 3 electrons. Out of these 3 electrons, 2 are present in the σ level and the remaining one is present in the σ* 1s level.
Which is stable He2 or He2 +? Why?
He2^+2 ion is more stable than He2 molecule.
Is He2 helium gas?
Helium is a chemical element with symbol He and atomic number 2. Classified as a noble gas, Helium is a gas at room temperature.
Why does He2 not exist explain by drawing its molecular orbital diagram?
He2 does not exist because it has filled octets and its valency is zero. Because it has no combining capacity, it exists as a monoatomic molecule like He. The electrical configuration of the helium atom is 1s2.
How does He2+ exist?
It means 2 electrons are in bonding molecular orbitals and 2 are in antibonding molecular orbitals . Since the bond order is zero so that He2 molecule does not exist.
How He2+ is formed?
He2+ is a related ion bonded by a half covalent bond. It can be formed in a helium electrical discharge. It recombines with electrons to form an electronically excited He2(a3Σ+u) excimer molecule. Both of these molecules are much smaller with more normally sized interatomic distances.
Is He2 2+ paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
paramagnetic
Let it be H2- ,H2+ or He2+ ; there's an unpaired electron i.e, they are paramagnetic. But in option 3 in H2 there's no unpaired electron. So, that is your answer as diamagnetic.
How many electrons are in He2 bonding orbital?
Now consider He2. This molecule has four electrons, and its ground-state electron configuration is (σg1s)2(σu1s)2.
Is He2 diamagnetic or paramagnetic?
Let it be H2- ,H2+ or He2+ ; there's an unpaired electron i.e, they are paramagnetic.
Why does h2 exist but He2 does not?
` The two such half field atomic orbitals compbine to from a molecular orbital which contains both these electrons. But helium (Z=2) has already a filled orbital `(1s^(2)). ` Therefore, the atomic orbitals of the helium atoms donot combine. Thus, a molecule of `H_(2)` exists while that of `He_(2)` does not.
Is He2+ paramagnetic or diamagnetic?
How many electrons are in the bonding molecular orbital of He2 +?
There are 6 sulfur valence electrons to accommodate and 6 × 1 = 6 fluorine electrons for a total of 12. The first 10 of these electrons occupy the net bonding orbitals; the remaining two occupy the lowest-energy antibonding orbital.
Why is He2 paramagnetic?
Here, for H2 the number of unpaired electron is 0. But in all other case there's an unpaired electron. Let it be H2- ,H2+ or He2+ ; there's an unpaired electron i.e, they are paramagnetic.
Which of the following is diamagnetic He2+?
Answer. Answer: (b) H2 is the correct answer.
What is the bond order of H2 and He2?
In H2 there are two electrons, and, following the building-up principle, they enter and fill the lower-energy bonding combination. Hence the electron configuration of the molecule is denoted 1σ2, and the stability of the molecule stems from the occupation of the bonding combination.
Is he+ a molecular ion?
The helium hydride ion or hydridohelium(1+) ion or helonium is a cation (positively charged ion) with chemical formula HeH+. It consists of a helium atom bonded to a hydrogen atom, with one electron removed. It can also be viewed as protonated helium….Helium hydride ion.
Names
Molar mass
5.01054 g·mol−1
Conjugate base
Helium
Why He2 molecule does not exist explain by using VBT?
Answer. Each helium atom has two electrons in 1s-orbital and therefore, there are four electrons in He2 molecule. These electrons will be accommodated in si1ls and s*1s MOs as shown below. The zero bond order value indicates that there is no net bonding and He2 molecule should not be formed. | eng | ba48a756-68f3-441c-97e7-c1bee94d80a2 | https://www.squarerootnola.com/why-he2-formation-is-not-possible/ |
Exercise tolerance testing (ETT)
Exercise tolerance testing assesses the electrical activity of the heart under physiological stress.
We use either a treadmill or ergometer (bike) to increase your heart rate so we can monitor your heart rate and rhythm.
The test involves having ECG electrodes (stickers) applied to your torso in precise positions with ten wires linking these stickers to a box that is tied around your waist.
We also fit you with a blood pressure cuff for the duration of the test, and record your blood pressure at set intervals.
The test takes about 45 minutes, which includes setting up, performing the test and a cooling down period.
Preparing for your ETT
If you smoke, please avoid smoking for at least eight hours before the test.
Do not eat, or drink coffee, tea or any other drinks containing caffeine for at least three hours before the test.
This is to make sure that the measurements we take are as accurate as possible.
Please refrain from using moisturising soaps or moisturiser on your chest prior to your appointment as this can affect how well the electrodes stick to your chest.
Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes that are suitable for exercise.
Sandals, high heels, boots and open-toed shoes are not advised. It is possible (although uncomfortable) to perform the treadmill test barefoot, but not the bike test.
Your ETT appointment
Most tests use the same changes in incline and speed for the treadmill and the same change of resistance for the bike.
We do not have a set workload or time goal and ask you for maximum effort where possible.
We monitor you closely, and may ask you to continue exercising for longer, with encouragement, or ask you to stop earlier than you think necessary.
The treadmill usually increases its speed and incline every three minutes. It is driven by a motor and does go fairly quickly. If you are concerned about your ability to perform this test, please contact us before your appointment.
The bike uses magnets to gradually increase the resistance of the pedals making it harder and harder to pedal. The test requires good mobility and ideally you should be able to walk on a treadmill for at least nine minutes.
It is vitally important to tell us immediately if you have symptoms, or feel you need to stop, at any time during the tests.
We may need to record your ECG and blood pressure at those times or stop the test altogether.
Do not to stop walking on the treadmill without telling us first as the treadmill will continue and you could fall off the equipment.
Results
We send your results directly to your referring consultant.
We cannot give you your results as we do not know your full medical history, which will affect how the readings are interpreted. | eng | 3264c985-8307-46e8-8c09-b548a7b49bc0 | https://www.ouh.nhs.uk/cardiac/services/cardiology/physiology/exercise-tolerance/ |

Abstract. Mixed-phase clouds affect precipitation and radiation forcing differently from liquid and ice clouds, posing greater challenges to their representation in numerical simulations. Recent laboratory experiments using the Pi Cloud Chamber explored cloud glaciation conditions based on increased injection of ice nucleating particles. In this study, we use two approaches to reproduce the results of the laboratory experiments: a bulk scalar mixing model and large-eddy simulation (LES) with bin microphysics. The first approach assumes a well-mixed domain to provide an efficient assessment of the mean cloud properties for a wide range of conditions. The second approach resolves the energy-carrying turbulence, the particle size distribution, and their spatial distribution to provide more details. These modeling approaches enable a separate and detailed examination of liquid and ice properties, which is challenging in the laboratory. Both approaches demonstrate that, with an increased ice number concentration, the flow and microphysical properties exhibit the same changes in trends. Additionally, both approaches show that the ice integral radius reaches the theoretical glaciation threshold when the cloud is subsaturated with respect to liquid water. The main difference between the results of the two approaches is that the bulk model allows for the complete glaciation of the cloud. However, LES reveals that, in a dynamic system, the cloud is not completely glaciated because liquid water droplets are continuously produced near the warm lower boundary and subsequently mixed into the chamber interior. These results highlight the importance of the ice mass fraction in distinguishing the mixed phase and ice clouds the review of the manuscript entitled "Glaciation of Mixed-Phase Clouds: Insights from Bulk Model and Bin-Microphysics Large-Eddy Simulation Informed by Laboratory Experiment" by Wang et al.
This study aims to advance our understanding of mixed-phase clouds using two different modeling approaches to reproduce laboratory experiments conducted in the Pi cloud chamber. Specifically, it is aimed to better understand the theoretically predicted glaciation threshold while the cloud is subsaturated with respect to liquid water. In other words, when is a cloud of mixed-phase type or solely consisting of ice. A bulk scalar mixing model and a large-eddy simulation (LES) with bin microphysics are applied to the Pi chamber studies to examine cloud glaciation. The former model approach allows for complete cloud glaciation while the latter one does not due to the continuous liquid droplet production in the warmer region of the cloud chamber.
This manuscript was an enjoyable read. The chosen approach/methods and execution seem to be sound. The topic fits within the journal's science areas. I have mostly minor, clarifying, and technical comments and support publication of this work.
Minor comments:
Line 105-110: Somehow equations, variables, and text are not consistent. "N" is not defined. There is no subscript "p". This is confusing since one reads first the equations; then to rethink subscripts could be cumbersome.
Line 140-142: This is a repetition of line 91.
Line 180: In this equation we have small "n_i". Is this the same as the capital "N_i" above?
Line 182: Please elaborate what you mean with "s_1,0 is the initial supersaturation of liquid without aerosols"? Is it the supersaturation with respect to liquid water? This would be the case with either/or aerosols? What do you mean with "without aerosols".
Line 210-213: The first sentence "Without the replenishment from droplet evaporation, the water vapor tends towards saturation over ice more rapidly…" is not wrong but likely confusing. The following sentence clarifies the situation a bit. Did you mean "Without the replenishment from droplet evaporation, the water vapor is more rapidly depleted, thus reaching quicker saturation,…"?
Line 213-215: I do not readily see in Fig. 2h how the integral radius for glaciation predicted by Korolev and Mazin (2003) matches those predicted by the bulk model. Somehow information about N_i has to be given in this discussion? The lines intersect but what does this mean?
Line 249: I cannot see a decrease in the droplet number concentration after 20 minutes in Fig. 4d. After 30 mins there seems to be a brief dip in concentration.
Line 293-296: There is a lot going in this section on which is difficult to follow. Why does the temperature increase in response to the increased ice concentration? With increasing temperature water mixing ratio should increase since e_l increases?
Do you mean a decrease in the supersaturation with respect to liquid water?
"causing the size of the ice crystals to diminish": If more ice crystal form, supersaturation decreases and resulting ice crystals may be smaller compared to a case with constant supersaturation. However, once ice crystals formed, why should the ice crystal size decrease?
Technical corrections:
Line 105: Missing "respectively"?
Line 124: The subscript for Greek letter Xi: It looks like "1" but should be "l" or "i"?
The authors use a bulk model and a LES model with bin microphysics to investigate the glaciation process occurring in the Pi Cloud Chamber. Their experiments are setup according to the laboratory experiments. They found that both the bulk model and the LES model can reproduce the laboratory results, and further found that the bulk model allows complete glaciation while the LES model can always sustain some liquid water. This paper is well written and can be accepted after some minor revisions.
Line 1: "radiation" to "radiative"?
Lines 35-36: The coexistence of ice and liquid does not ensure the occurrence of the WBF process. Please provide further explanations.
Raymond A. Shaw
This study employs two methods to examine a laboratory experiment on clouds with both ice and liquid phases. The first assumes well-mixed properties; the second resolves the spatial distribution of turbulence and cloud particles. Results show that while the trends in mean properties generally align, when turbulence is resolved, liquid droplets are not fully depleted by ice due to incomplete mixing. This underscores the threshold of ice mass fraction in distinguishing mixed-phase from ice clouds.

Setting Yubikey MFA for AWS CLI temporary credentials
Table of Contents:
Walkway harness on a Redwood tree in Redwoods Tree Walk, Rotorua
It is a good practice to use temporary credentials in AWS instead of permanent
IAM generated credentials that are long term and potentially leaked. AWS has
different services that issue temporary credentials with given permission
policies such as IAM Instance Profiles for EC2 instances, Lambda Execution
Roles, ECS Task Roles, and IAM Roles Anywhere for those cases that require
providing trusted access permissions to a process running outside of AWS.
One such way is to use the GenerateSessionToken API
action in AWS Security Token Service to generate a pair of temporary
credentials with an expiry date. Doing so allows using AWS credentials without
having to hardcode long lived IAM credentials and worry about the
credentials getting leaked.
However, there's a caveat when it comes to using credentials generated from
GenerateSessionToken action. Unless the API action is executed with the MFA
token (for MFA enabled users), the generated credentials cannot be used to
invoke any IAM API calls. This would put a blocker for any use case you had for
running (ex:) IaC scripts with the temporary credentials.
I came across this scenario when using the popular aws-vault tool generate
sessions with temporary credentials. aws-vault also uses
GenerateSessionToken, but it depends on the AWS configuration file
($HOME/.aws/config) to provide the MFA configuraiton to it. Without the MFA
device serial and the token generation process defined in the config, it was generating
credentials that couldn't perform any of the IAM API operations I needed.
One of the best ways to enable strong second factor authentication in AWS is to
use a Yubikey device. However, the second factor authentication protocols supported by
the AWS web console isn't the same as the one supported by the AWS CLI and the
SDKs. AWS web console supports FIDO-U2F, while the CLI and SDKs, based on the
configuration, supports OATH-TOTP.
To get this working on the AWS CLI (and other tools that use the standard AWS
SDKs), couple of steps need to be executed.
Setup the CLI tool to generate the OATH-TOTP from the Yubikey
Configure AWS configuration to point the MFA generation process to the
OATH-TOTP generation tool
Configuring MFA with OATH-TOTP
Usig the Secret Key used in the process to register a new oath account in
ykman
Configuring AWS config to use ykman as the command to generate the
OATH-TOTP MFA
Navigate to the AWS IAM console and select the user that needs to register the
MFA device for CLI authentication. Select the Security Credentials tab and
then on Assign MFA Device button. Select Authenticator App as the
device and input a device name. Note down this name as we'll be using it to
register the device on the ykman end.
Proceed to the next step. AWS provides a QR code for an authenticator app to
use, however for this use case, what's useful is the secret key. Copy the
secret key for the next step.
Open the terminal and execute the following command using the appropriate
values for account_id and the device_name (ex: ykman_test).
ykman oath accounts add -t arn:aws:iam::account_id:mfa/device_id
ykman will ask to input the (base32 encoded) secret key. Note that the value
copied from the AWS console is already base32 encoded so just directly paste
the value. This also specifies that the Yubikey should be touched to generate the key
by using the -t flag.
Now two consecurtive OATH-TOTP codes should be generated and added to the
console to finalise the device registration. However, instead of doing this
immediately, I've experienced success by waiting a while (~5 minutes) for some
unknown reason. I'm guessing this is related to the time window being populated
someway, however whenever I'd immediately generate tokens, AWS would report
them as invalid.
To generate a OATH-TOTP code, run the following command, again replacing
account_id and device_id with proper values. Wait 30 seconds before the
next token is generated since the time slice configuration is usually set to 30
seconds.
Now that the device is registered in ykman and AWS, it can be directly used
when invoking GetSessionToken action.
For the CLI command get-session-token to use MFA in the process (in an AWS context with
proper permissions) the flags --serial-number and --token-code have to be
used, which will trigger the touch request. Not providing these two flags will
generate credentials without MFA.
Additionally, for AssumeRole operation, the MFA device and the code
generation command to use can be provided through the AWS config file. To do
this add mfa_serial and mfa_process directives
under the proper profile in $HOME/.aws/config file (replacing
account_id and device_id with proper values).
Now whenever temporary credentials are generated through AssumeRole, the AWS
SDK credentials provider will use ykman with the above command to trigger a
Yubikey touch to generate an OATH-TOTP
token, ensuring the temporary credentials are generated with MFA involved. | eng | 35b53e99-bc6b-4129-b560-6abb0d102923 | https://chamila.dev/blog/2024-01-18_setting-yubikey-mfa-for-aws-cli-temporary-credentials/ |

Abstract
The creation of Pakistan was the result of Islamic ideology. The Muslims were demanding a separate homeland where they would apply the teachings of Islam. Following Pakistan's establishment, the principles of Islam were included in the constitution-making process in the form of an Objective Resolution. The Constitutions of 1956, 1962, and 1973 were all based solely on Islamic principles. Any laws that were considered to be anti-Islam were firmly rejected by the public at large, resulting in severe agitation. When the socialist Pakistan People's Party tried to re-emerge in Pakistan's political arena in 1977, Islamic ideology proved to be a binding force against PPP, prompting the formation of the Pakistan National Alliance. In 1988, the socialist PPP returned to Pakistani politics, and supporters of Islamic ideology, including the military, government, and religious political parties, formed an alliance against her, forming Islami Jamhuri Ittehad. IJI took part in elections but did not win the support of the voters. Now the question is why IJI, Pakistan's largest religious-political alliance, was unable to defeat the PPP, a single political party. What were the reasons behind its failure? How the PPP dealt with opposition strategies in elections, including the President, Military, and IJI? What were the real causes of PPP's success in the elections? The answers of these question are the real motive of this research.

A definitive list of all the UNESCO World Heritage sites in Australia
Approximately 99 million years ago Australia separated from the supercontinent Gondwana. It spent the subsequent aeons evolving into a place of entirely unique landscapes and wildlife. From Uluru to the platypus, Australia is the world at its weirdest and most wonderful, which has made the country a focus of UNESCO.
UNESCO is tasked with identifying and helping to protect World Heritage Sites. These are divided into three categories: natural, cultural and mixed. Australia is home to 20 in all, 12 of which are natural sites, the second-most of any country on earth (China has 14.)
These World Heritage Sites offer travellers Australia at its most unique and authentic. In this article we'll list all 20, in the order they were added to UNESCO's list, and hopefully inspire you to check a few out along the way.
1. Great Barrier Reef, QLD (1981)
The first Australian site to gain World Heritage status is the country's biggest, and perhaps its best. The world's largest reef is actually a system of almost 3000 individual coral reefs. 400 coral species house an endlessly rich and diverse selection of aquatic animals, and at 2300km long, there's plenty of beauty to be shared.
2. Willandra Lakes Region, NSW (1981)
Around 50,000 years ago an indigenous Australian tribe held a cremation ceremony on a sandy patch of outback earth. The sand and the site were fossilised, and now form the world's oldest known cremation site. Willandra's unique cultural and geological significance made it one of Australia's earliest World Heritage Sites.
3. Kakadu National Park, NT (1981)
Having been home to indigenous tribes for more than 40,000 years, Kakadu has a wealth of ancient rock art. Add in the truly unique biodiversity of the sprawling wetlands that cover one-third of the park, and it's little wonder why Kakadu was such an early addition to the World Heritage register.
Kakadu National Park, NT
4. Lord Howe Island Group, NSW (1982)
Approximately seven million years ago, the island group now known as Lord Howe was a volcano that erupted for half a million years. Found 600km east of the Australian mainland, it is home to pristine rainforest, a wealth of endemic plants and animals, and the world's southernmost barrier coral reef.
Lord Howe Island
5. Tasmanian Wilderness, TAS (1982)
Covering one-fifth of Tasmania, Australia's island state, the raw and rugged Tasmanian Wilderness has benefitted from its remoteness and inaccessibility – although Tasmanian Aboriginals called the area home as early as 20,000 years ago – to become one of the world's last temperate wildernesses.
6. Gondwana Rainforests of Australia, QLD & NSW (1986)
Covering broad swathes of the east coast, the Gondwana subtropical rainforests are the largest of their type in the world. This ancient area was covered in similar rainforests over 100 million years ago when it was part of Gondwana, hence the name. Over 200 rare or threatened species call the area home.
7. Uluṟu-Kata Tjuṯa National Park, NT (1987)
Rising 348m out of the surrounding desert, and measuring 9.4km in circumference, Uluru is a truly awe-inspiring sight. 25km to the east you'll find another huge sandstone formation, Kata Tjuṯa, a succession of 36 domes, some of which are even taller than Uluru.
Uluṟu
8. Wet Tropics of Queensland, QLD (1988)
Welcome to the oldest tropical rainforest on Earth. Once spanning the entire Australian continent, over the course of 120 million years it retreated to a small corner of Far North Queensland, where it is home to dozens of endemic species, including a number of endangered marsupials.
Tropics of Queensland
9. Shark Bay, WA (1991)
On the remote westernmost point of the Australian continent you'll find Shark Bay, a uniquely biodiverse aquatic habitat. Here you'll find the largest seagrass meadows in the world, endangered dugongs, dolphins, whale sharks and stromatolites, which are possibly the oldest forms of life on earth.
Shark Bay, WA
10. Australian Fossil Mammal Sites, SA & QLD (1992)
Riversleigh in Queensland and Naracoorte in South Australia are considered two of the world's top 10 fossil sites. The richness, diversity and quality of fossil preservation at these two sites is incredible, and they offer unsurpassed insight into Australia's prehistory.
11. K'gari/ Fraser Island, QLD (1992)
123km long and 22km wide, Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world. Its dunes can reach heights of 260m, and the presence of unique fungi means that this is the only place on earth where tall rainforests grow in sand.
Fraser Island, QLD
12. Heard and McDonald Islands (1997)
Ironically most Australians have never heard of Heard Island and its neighbour McDonald, though it probably doesn't help that they're uninhabited and take two weeks to reach by boat (they're closer to Madagascar than Australia.) These subantarctic islands are truly unique however, home to Australia's only active volcanoes. Mawson's Peak is also taller than any mountain on the Australian mainland.
13. Macquarie Island, TAS (1997)
Another subantarctic island, Macquarie is one for the geologist nerds, as it is the only place in the world where the earth's mantle is exposed above sea level. This narrow, 35km long island is home to 20-40 Australian scientists and the entire 850,000-strong population of royal penguins.

The Lēdurga Arboretum is one of the largest and most plentiful of its kind in Latvia. Gardener Arvīds Janitens (1923–2009) founded the park in 1973 and lovingly tended it throughout his life. He was an extraordinary man who was self-taught in botany, plant biology, ecology and dendrology and created one of the largest collections of woody plants in Latvia. The Lēdurga Arboretum is a specially protected natural, cultural and historical area.
It covers an area of about 10ha and is home to approximately 1,000 different varieties of woody plants and ornamental shrubs. Arvīds Janitens himself cultivated and potted more than 250 plants from seeds, cuttings and grafts. The approximately 450 varieties of non-native woody plants are the park's greatest asset. The park is magical in every season – the magnolias, rhododendrons, robinias, bird cherry trees, weigelas and mock oranges bloom in the spring, whereas the hydrangeas, European smoketrees, walnut trees, and different maple trees enchant visitors in summer. The witch-hazel blossoms are a pleasant surprise in winter, as is the depth of colour of the Manchurian cherries, the spruces, thujas and junipers. Many tropical and subtropical plants have also made themselves at home in the park.
Lēdurgas or Mudurgas Dižakmens (the great Lēdurga or Mudurga Boulder) is shrouded in myths. It lies on the territory of Lēdurga Arboretum and is over 2m high and 4m long with a circumference of 13.5m and a volume of 19m3. People have enjoyed gathering and celebrating here for decades and a recreational area has now been set up next to the boulder. | eng | e25f553b-439b-46a6-a3c7-2d2a2445faa1 | https://www.gardenpearls.eu/gardens/ledurga-dendropark/ |

The Benefits of Double Locks for Door Security in London
When it comes to home security, double lock doors offer enhanced protection and peace of mind. In a bustling city like London where break-ins can be a concern, investing in double locks is a smart choice to deter burglars and safeguard your home.
The primary benefit of double lock doors is the added layer of security they provide. By having two locks instead of one, potential intruders face greater difficulty in gaining unauthorized access. This additional barrier acts as a deterrent, making your home less attractive to burglars who prefer easy targets.

With their robust construction and advanced locking mechanisms, these doors significantly reduce the risk of unauthorized access.
Moreover, double lock doors provide an extra level of protection for you and your loved ones. They create a physical barrier that gives you more time to react in case someone attempts to breach your home's security. This additional time can be crucial in alerting authorities or seeking safety during emergency situations.
In addition to their practical benefits, double lock doors also offer peace of mind. Knowing that you have taken proactive measures to secure your home can alleviate concerns about potential break-ins and provide a sense of comfort for you and your family.
In conclusion, investing in double lock doors for enhanced security is a wise decision for homeowners in London. These doors not only deter burglars but also prevent break-ins and provide an extra layer of protection for your loved ones.

1. Increased Deterrence and Protection against Intruders
In today's world, where security is a top concern for homeowners and businesses alike, the role of advanced door lock technologies cannot be overstated. The use of secure and reliable locks serves as a crucial deterrent against potential intruders, providing enhanced protection for properties and peace of mind for occupants.
Gone are the days when traditional locks were enough to keep burglars at bay. With advancements in technology, there is now a wide range of door lock types available that offer superior security features. These locks are designed to withstand various intrusion techniques, making it significantly more challenging for unauthorized individuals to gain access.
From smart locks with biometric authentication to keyless entry systems with unique access codes, these innovative solutions provide an added layer of protection against break-ins. They leverage cutting-edge encryption algorithms and robust materials to ensure that only authorized individuals can enter a premises.
By investing in secure locks, property owners can effectively deter burglars and intruders from attempting unauthorized entry. The mere presence of these advanced locking mechanisms acts as a visual deterrent, signaling that the property is well-protected and not an easy target.
Moreover, secure locks offer peace of mind by providing real-time monitoring capabilities through integration with security systems. This allows homeowners or business owners to receive instant notifications if any unauthorized attempts are made to tamper with or breach the lock.
In conclusion, the increased deterrence and protection provided by advanced door lock technologies play a vital role in safeguarding properties against intruders. With their ability to resist various intrusion techniques and their integration with modern security systems, these secure locks provide homeowners and businesses with the confidence they need in their defense against potential threats.
2. Added Layer of Defense against Forced Entry Attempts
In today's world, security is a top priority for both residential and commercial properties. As criminals become more sophisticated in their methods, it is crucial to implement effective forceful entry prevention techniques. One such technique is the reinforcement of doors, which adds an extra layer of defense against forced entry attempts.
By reinforcing doors, property owners can significantly enhance the security of their premises. This involves strengthening the door frame, hinges, and strike plate to withstand excessive force or tampering. Additionally, installing double cylinder locks can further fortify the entry points.
Double cylinder locks are designed to require a key for both sides of the door, providing an added level of security against break-ins. This means that even if an intruder manages to gain access through a window or another point of entry, they will still face an additional obstacle when attempting to exit or move through the property.
These measures not only act as a deterrent but also buy valuable time for authorities to respond in case of a forced entry attempt. By investing in forceful entry prevention techniques such as door reinforcement and double cylinder locks, property owners can have peace of mind knowing that they have taken proactive steps to protect their premises and those inside from potential threats.
Remember, when it comes to security, it's always better to be proactive rather than reactive. Implementing these measures demonstrates your commitment to safety and makes it clear that your property is not an easy target for criminals.
3. Peace of Mind and Assurance for Homeowners and Tenants
When it comes to our homes, peace of mind and assurance are paramount. We all want to feel safe and secure in our living spaces, whether we are homeowners or tenants. Thankfully, there are numerous home safety measures available that can provide us with the peace of mind we desire.
One of the key benefits of implementing home safety measures is the sense of security it brings. Knowing that your home is protected by various systems and technologies can alleviate worries about potential break-ins or accidents. From robust alarm systems to smart locks and surveillance cameras, these measures act as a deterrent to potential threats and provide an added layer of protection.
Additionally, home safety measures offer assurance in times of emergencies. Smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarms, and fire extinguishers ensure that you are alerted promptly in case of any hazardous situations. This quick response capability can make all the difference when it comes to protecting your loved ones and valuable possessions.
Furthermore, investing in home safety measures can also lead to lower insurance premiums. Insurance companies often offer discounts for homeowners or tenants who have implemented certain safety features in their homes. This not only provides financial relief but also serves as an acknowledgement from insurance providers that these measures reduce the risk of incidents occurring.
In conclusion, implementing home safety measures offers peace of mind and assurance for both homeowners and tenants alike. The sense of security they provide along with their ability to respond swiftly during emergencies make them invaluable additions to any living space. By taking proactive steps towards safeguarding our homes, we can create a safe haven where we can truly relax and enjoy peace of mind.
Selecting the Right Type of Double Locks for Your Doors in London
Choosing the right type of double locks for your doors in London is crucial for ensuring the security and peace of mind you deserve. With a wide range of options available, it can be overwhelming to know which lock features to consider. However, by understanding your specific needs and taking into account certain factors, you can make an informed decision that meets your requirements.
One important feature to consider when selecting double locks is the level of security they provide. Look for locks that have been tested and certified by reputable organizations, such as the British Standards Institution (BSI). These certifications ensure that the locks meet stringent security standards and are resistant to common break-in techniques.
Another factor to consider is the type of locking mechanism. Different types of double locks offer varying levels of convenience and security. For instance, traditional cylinder locks are commonly used but may be vulnerable to picking or bumping attacks. On the other hand, smart locks offer advanced features such as remote access control and activity monitoring but may require additional setup or maintenance.
Additionally, assess the durability and resistance of the lock against forced entry attempts. Look for features like anti-drill plates or reinforced strike plates that can deter potential intruders.
Consider your budget as well when choosing double locks for your doors in London. While it's important not to compromise on quality and security, there are options available at different price points that can meet your needs without breaking the bank.
By carefully considering these lock features and assessing your specific requirements, you can confidently select the right type of double locks for your doors in London. Remember, investing in high-quality locks not only protects your property but also provides you with invaluable peace of mind knowing that you have taken proactive measures to secure your home or business premises.
A. Deadbolts vs. Mortise Locks: Which is More Suitable?
When it comes to securing your home or office, choosing the right type of lock is crucial. Two popular options that often come up in this discussion are deadbolts and mortise locks. Both offer different features and advantages, making it essential to understand their differences before making a decision.
Deadbolts are known for their simplicity and reliability. They consist of a single solid bolt that extends into the door jamb, providing sturdy resistance against forced entry. Deadbolts are typically installed separately from the doorknob or handle, adding an extra layer of security.
On the other hand, mortise locks offer a more comprehensive approach to security. These locks require a pocket or "mortise" to be cut into the door itself, allowing for both the lock mechanism and handle to be integrated seamlessly. This integration not only provides increased strength but also enhances aesthetics.
One key difference between deadbolts and mortise locks lies in their level of protection. Deadbolts excel at preventing brute force attacks due to their solid construction and longer bolts. However, mortise locks provide additional security by incorporating multiple locking points within the mechanism itself.
Another factor to consider is ease of installation. Deadbolts are relatively simple to install as they can be added onto existing doors without extensive modifications. On the contrary, installing a mortise lock requires precise cutting into the door frame, which may require professional assistance.
Ultimately, choosing between deadbolts and mortise locks depends on your specific needs and preferences. If you prioritize simplicity and reliability while maintaining a decent level of security, deadbolts may be more suitable for you. However, if you desire enhanced protection with an aesthetically pleasing design that integrates seamlessly with your door, then mortise locks might be the better option.
In conclusion, understanding the differences between deadbolts and mortise locks is crucial in making an informed decision about securing your property effectively. By considering factors such as level of protection, ease of installation, and personal preferences, you can select the lock that best suits your needs.
B. Smart Locks: The Future of Door Security in Modern Homes.
In today's fast-paced world, technology continues to revolutionize various aspects of our lives, including home security. With the advent of smart lock technology, traditional door locks are being replaced with innovative and advanced solutions that offer a multitude of benefits.
Smart locks are designed to provide enhanced security, convenience, and peace of mind for homeowners. One of the key benefits is the ability to control access to your home remotely. Whether you're at work or on vacation, you can easily lock or unlock your doors using a smartphone app. This eliminates the need for physical keys and allows you to grant temporary access to family members, friends, or service providers with just a few taps on your phone.
Another advantage of smart locks is their integration with other smart home devices. They can be seamlessly connected with security cameras, alarm systems, and voice assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. This integration enables a comprehensive home security system where you can monitor and control all aspects of your home's safety from one centralized platform.
Furthermore, smart locks offer valuable insights into who enters and exits your home. Some models come equipped with activity logs that record every interaction with the lock. This feature allows you to keep track of who has accessed your property and at what time – providing an added layer of security and accountability.
Additionally, smart locks can enhance convenience by eliminating the need for physical keys altogether. No more fumbling through pockets or bags searching for keys; simply approach your door with your smartphone in hand or use a keypad code for quick access.
Lastly, smart lock technology provides an added level of protection against common break-in methods such as lock picking or bumping. These locks often incorporate advanced encryption algorithms and tamper detection mechanisms that make them significantly more resistant to unauthorized entry attempts compared to traditional locks.
As technology advances further, we can expect even more innovative features from smart lock systems – including biometric authentication, geofencing capabilities, and seamless integration with smart home ecosystems.
In conclusion, smart locks are undoubtedly the future of door security in modern homes. With their ability to provide remote access control, integration with other smart devices, activity tracking features, and enhanced convenience, they offer a comprehensive solution for homeowners seeking advanced security measures. Embrace this cutting-edge technology and experience the peace of mind that comes with knowing your home is protected by the latest advancements in door security.

While both options have their merits, it is essential to make an informed decision based on your specific needs and circumstances.
Hiring a professional locksmith offers numerous advantages. Firstly, they possess the expertise and experience required to ensure that the double lock system is installed correctly and functions optimally.

Probably one of the most infamous eras of German history was the Nazi regime of the Third Reich or Nazi Germany. In 1933, Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party came to power within the Weimar Republic, and soon seized all power from the democratic Reichstag. In the years that followed, Hitler built an enormous and zealous army and annexed neighboring countries, including Austria and Czechoslovakia. On September 1, 1939, Nazi Germany invaded Poland, prompting a declaration of war from France and the United Kingdom, sparking World War II.
The Afrika Korps was Germany's expeditionary force to North Africa between February 12, 1941 to May 13, 1943.
These are the military branches of the Federal Republic of Germany:
Emblem
Branch
In modern times, Germany's armed forces are called the Bundeswehr (Federal Defense) and serve alongside other NATO forces around the world.
Military Organizations[]
Germany is a part of both NATO and the European Union, both of which are featured as factions in their own rights in the Battlefield series. Germany is therefore presumably involved indirectly in other Battlefield games as a part of these two alliances.
Appearances[]
Battlefield 1942[]
The in-game flag of Germany, a modified flag based on the flag of the German Empire.
Trivia[]
The real-life flag of Nazi Germany, featuring the Nazi Swastika symbol, a symbol restricted or banned in multiple European countries.
In Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield V, Nazi symbolism are deliberately avoided and replaced with other symbols in order to release the game through German censors, because until August 2018, German law prohibited the use of Nazi symbols for non-historical or educational purposes with minor exceptions such as movies. For example, the in-game flag of Germany in both games is a modified version of the German Empire flag, and the Balkenkreuz is used as a symbol for German forces instead of the Nazi swastika.
In the demo version of Battlefield 1942, the German factions used another flag.[1] This version is still present in the texture files[2] of the full version of the game, but is currently unused.

Dadaism and Design: Embracing the Absurd and Nonsensical
Dadaism, an avant-garde art movement that emerged in the early 20th century, sought to challenge traditional artistic norms and embrace the absurd and nonsensical. While primarily associated with visual arts, Dadaism also had a significant impact on design, influencing various fields such as graphic design, typography, and even architecture. This article explores the relationship between Dadaism and design, highlighting how the movement's principles and techniques continue to shape contemporary design practices.
The Origins of Dadaism
Dadaism originated during World War I in Zurich, Switzerland, as a response to the horrors and absurdity of war. Artists and intellectuals, disillusioned by the senseless violence and destruction, sought to create a new artistic movement that rejected traditional aesthetics and embraced chaos and irrationality. The term "Dada" itself is believed to have been chosen randomly from a French-German dictionary, emphasizing the movement's rejection of logic and reason.
The Principles of Dadaism
Dadaism was characterized by several key principles that set it apart from other art movements of the time:
Anti-Art: Dadaists rejected the notion of art as a precious commodity or a means of aesthetic pleasure. They sought to dismantle traditional artistic conventions and challenge the very definition of art itself.
Collage and Assemblage: Dadaists often used collage and assemblage techniques to create their artworks. By combining disparate elements and found objects, they aimed to disrupt traditional visual narratives and create new meanings.
Chance and Randomness: Dadaists embraced chance and randomness as creative tools. They incorporated elements of spontaneity and accident into their works, allowing the unexpected to shape the artistic process.
Provocation and Shock: Dadaists sought to provoke and shock their audiences. They used satire, irony, and absurdity to challenge societal norms and expose the contradictions and absurdities of the world.
Dadaism's Influence on Design
While Dadaism was primarily an art movement, its principles and techniques had a profound impact on the field of design. Designers began to incorporate Dadaist ideas into their work, challenging traditional design norms and embracing the absurd and nonsensical. Here are some areas where Dadaism influenced design:
Graphic Design
Dadaism revolutionized graphic design by introducing new approaches to layout, typography, and visual communication. Dadaist graphic designers experimented with unconventional typefaces, fragmented layouts, and unexpected juxtapositions of images and text. They aimed to disrupt traditional design conventions and create visual impact through the unexpected and absurd.
One notable example is the work of John Heartfield, a German Dadaist artist and graphic designer. Heartfield's photomontages, which combined photographs, typography, and political satire, challenged the propaganda of the Nazi regime in the 1930s. His innovative use of visual elements and subversive messaging continues to inspire contemporary graphic designers.
Typography
Dadaism also had a significant influence on typography. Dadaist typographers experimented with unconventional letterforms, distorted typefaces, and nonsensical arrangements of text. They aimed to break free from the constraints of legibility and traditional typographic rules, embracing the visual impact of absurd and fragmented letterforms.
One notable example is the work of Kurt Schwitters, a German Dadaist artist known for his typographic experiments. Schwitters created collages using torn and fragmented pieces of text, blurring the boundaries between visual art and typography. His innovative typographic compositions continue to inspire contemporary typographers and designers.
Architecture
Dadaism's influence extended to the field of architecture, challenging traditional notions of form and function. Dadaist architects sought to create unconventional and absurd structures that defied traditional architectural principles. They embraced the use of unconventional materials, unexpected shapes, and nonsensical spatial arrangements.
One notable example is the work of Frederick Kiesler, an Austrian-American architect and artist associated with the Dada movement. Kiesler's Endless House, a visionary architectural project, rejected the idea of a fixed and static dwelling. Instead, it proposed a flexible and organic living space that could adapt to the changing needs and desires of its inhabitants. While the Endless House was never realized, its ideas continue to influence contemporary architectural thinking.
The Relevance of Dadaism in Contemporary Design
Although Dadaism emerged over a century ago, its principles and techniques continue to shape contemporary design practices. Designers today still draw inspiration from Dadaist ideas to challenge conventions, provoke thought, and create visually impactful designs. Here are some ways in which Dadaism remains relevant in contemporary design:
Breaking Conventions: Dadaism encourages designers to break free from established design norms and explore new possibilities. By embracing the absurd and nonsensical, designers can challenge preconceived notions and create innovative and thought-provoking designs.
Embracing Experimentation: Dadaism celebrates experimentation and encourages designers to embrace chance and randomness in their creative process. By allowing unexpected elements to shape their designs, designers can discover new and unexpected solutions.
Conclusion
Dadaism, with its embrace of the absurd and nonsensical, had a profound impact on the field of design. Its principles and techniques continue to inspire designers to challenge conventions, provoke thought, and create visually impactful designs. From graphic design to typography and architecture, Dadaism's influence can be seen in various design disciplines. By embracing the spirit of Dadaism, designers can push the boundaries of creativity and create designs that defy | eng | 0b983ecc-f5f1-4c6b-b0f9-1efc825839ba | https://visualdesignjourney.com/dadaism-and-design-embracing-the-absurd-and-nonsensical/ |
The thought of swimming in sub-zero temperatures isn't the most appealing, so it's only natural that during the winter months, you may not be using your pool as much. However, this doesn't mean that you can let up on maintenance work; in fact, your pool may require even more care during periods of disuse and cold weather.
But why does winter pool maintenance matter? And how do you maintain your pool during the winter? Luckily, the team here at Cox Pools is here to help with this comprehensive guide to winter pool care.
How does winter weather affect pools?
When the temperature dips below sub-zero levels, this can cause certain components of your pool to freeze completely. If water is left in your pipework or equipment, this can expand upon freezing and cause cracks and damage to your pool's plumbing.
Do I need pool maintenance in winter?
If it wasn't already clear then yes, you do still need pool maintenance throughout the winter for several reasons:
Winterizing your pool can protect it from the damage caused by freezing temperatures to improve its longevity.
If your pool is left alone over the winter, minor issues can go undetected and quickly grow into costly damage.
You can have peace of mind that your pool will always be safe, clean, and in the best possible hands.
When the start of swim season rolls around, you won't have to spend ages preparing your pool for reopening – instead, you should be able to dive straight in.
When should you close your pool in Alabama?
While there's no set date for when you should close your pool, most experts recommend closing it when the temperature consistently dips below 65°F. This is because algae growth is less likely at these temperatures.
Here in Alabama, we're lucky enough to experience fairly mild winters, meaning that the swim season typically lasts a little longer than other regions of the US, such as the Northeastern and Midwestern states. On average, the temperature plummets to below 65°F in November and begins to rise again in March; however, this can vary depending on the location.
Our 5 top tips for winter pool care
The process of preparing your pool for the colder temperature is known as winterization. Although this can be a lengthy task, by following these simple tips you can prevent weather damage and ensure a smooth reopening in the spring.
Check and adjust water chemistry: Before you close your pool for winter, you should test the pH and water chemistry to ensure all chemicals are within standard ranges; if not, your pool might experience staining, algae growth and cloudy water. If your pool water doesn't fall within the required levels, you may need to add extra chemicals, such as shock treatment and algaecide. If you're unsure, consult a trusted pool professional who can advise you on the best course of action.
Clean the pool: During the off-season, you should still keep up a regular pool cleaning routine, including skimming the water for debris, brushing the floor and sides, and vacuuming the surfaces. Not only does this keep your pool looking great, but it also ensures you won't be greeted by a dirty and algae-infested pool in the spring.
Invest in a winter pool cover: Winter weather often brings heavy winds, rain and snow, meaning leaves and other contaminants are more likely to infiltrate your pool and disrupt the delicate balance of the pool water. A winter pool cover will stop any debris from collecting in your pool and clogging the filter. Furthermore, a high-quality pool cover will block sunlight to prevent evaporation and deter algae growth.
Drain and store equipment: Before you close your pool for winter, you should always remove and drain any pool equipment – such as the heater, pump, and filter – to stop ice from forming inside. This equipment should then be stored in a dry, indoor space. It's also a good idea to lower the water level of your pool to around six inches below the skimmer to prevent freezing damage to the plumbing system.
Consult a pool professional: If you want to ensure your pool stays in the best possible condition over the winter, consider employing a trusted pool professional like Cox Pools. By scheduling regular winter maintenance, you can address potential issues before they escalate and ensure your pool reopening is hassle-free.

Responsibility
It is still debated whether climate change is caused by man or not. It is the time to discuss not only, but to act. Global Warming seems to be accelerated by CO2 emissions as a result of energy consumption.
The energy consumption is not only induced by population growth but also by the increasing energy intensity of living standard of the developing countries. The sun supplies more energy in three hours than mankind can consume in 1 year. And it's free. The best part is that solar energy is clean. The operation of a photovoltaic system generates no exhaust or any other emissions.
Each fed KWp prevents the development of up to 10.5 tons C02 equivalent to 75'000km driving by car. The energy for the production of silicon, the basic building block of the cell reproduces itself in less than one year. In the planned life time of the module (assuming 25 years) the energy invested is recovered by 30-50 times. The carbon footprint of MONOWATT and POLYWATT modules is bellow 40g CO2 -eq/Kwh.
For all of us:
+ Electricity from photovoltaic systems is the environmental friendly and silent possibility to generate energy. | eng | 70a89922-2875-464a-980a-757ac75d1fc5 | http://www.swiss-watt.com/en/knowhow/responsibility-en.html |

Black-owned banks and credit unions play a pivotal role in serving the Black American community's mission to bridge the wealth gap in the United States.
A 2019 Federal Reserve survey highlighted this disparity, revealing that the average white family holds eight times more wealth than the typical Black family. This gap is attributed mainly to slavery, historical U.S. policies, and discriminatory lending practices that excluded Black Americans from crucial financial services and credit opportunities to purchase assets. Black-owned banks and credit unions play a pivotal role in serving the Black American community, serving as economic incubators by employing and serving the local community.
Most Black-owned banks are community development financial institutions (CDFIs). These banks focus on providing financial services in areas often underserved and characterized by low to moderate income. They are dedicated to offering banking services to those previously denied such opportunities, and they actively support Black-owned small businesses and homeowners, who face higher rates of loan denial than their white counterparts.
For those unfamiliar with the difference between banks and credit unions, a bank is a for-profit institution. Credit unions are primarily not-for-profit institutions. They might have specific membership criteria, often based on geographic location or association with certain groups, like employees of historically Black colleges or predominantly Black churches.
In reviewing the landscape of Black-owned banks and credit unions, some interesting trends emerge, offering insights into their distribution and presence across the United States.
A standout observation is the state-wise distribution of these financial institutions. Among the states, Georgia and Louisiana notably lead in the number of Black-owned banks and credit unions. This presence reflects the significant African American populations in these regions and their historical and ongoing economic influence.
Another trend to note is the concentration of these institutions in the Southern United States. This is likely due to the historical and cultural ties within these states, where the African American community has deep roots. These banks and credit unions serve as financial institutions and pillars of community development and economic empowerment.
In addition to traditional brick-and-mortar banks, there's a rising trend in online-only Black-owned banking platforms like Greenwood and MoCaFi. These platforms are expanding the reach of Black-owned financial services, making them accessible nationwide, especially in areas where physical branches might not be present.
It's important to highlight the mission-driven aspect of these institutions. Whether they are based in states with a high concentration of Black-owned banks or operate online, their commitment remains steadfast in serving historically underserved communities and addressing the wealth gap.
Why You Should Bank Black
In the realm of banking and financial inclusion, the importance of supporting Black-owned banks has never been more evident. A striking example of this need is a recent study revealing that Navy Federal Credit Union denied loans to 50% of its Black applicants. Such startling disparities in lending practices highlight systemic issues within the banking industry and reinforce the critical role Black-owned banks play in providing equitable financial services. These institutions are not just banks; they represent a movement toward closing the racial wealth gap and ensuring fair access to financial resources for all, especially the historically underserved Black community.
Joining a Black-owned bank or credit union is a tangible way to support their mission of fostering economic growth and closing the wealth gap in Black communities by circulating our dollars. Kevin Cohee, CEO of OneUnited Bank, one of the largest Black-owned banks in the U.S., encapsulates this mission: "We're making Black America a better place, and by doing so, making all America a better place." We encourage readers to look at this list to find their local black owned banks or credit unions and open an account or certificate of deposit with the institution. The money that you put on deposit at this bank could create an opportunity for ownership for a qualified homeowner who may have gotten denied due to discriminatory practices.
The list of Black-owned financial institutions in the U.S. is extensive, ranging from Alamerica Bank in Alabama to Columbia Savings and Loan Association in Wisconsin. This list also includes a few online-only platforms like Greenwood and MoCaFi, which collaborate with banks to provide services nationwide. It's important to note that while this list is comprehensive, it might be partial due to varying recognition processes for banks and credit unions. For the most up-to-date information, you can refer to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for banks and the National Credit Union Administration for credit unions. | eng | ef91c89f-db4c-4e2c-8363-9936dbfb1727 | https://blackownedbanks.us/ |

FINANCIAL GOAL PLANNING AT AGE 30
FINANCIAL GOAL PLANNING AT AGE 30
In this article, we would be discussing about how you can save and invest your money at an age of 30 years and what financial goals you should pursue.
INTRODUCTION
When a person turns 30, then it marks a start of an important phase where one needs to shoulder greater responsibilities. This is a period where a person needs to seriously take his responsibilities and get the finances in order. This is the time where one can make a financial plan for their goals and reap benefits in the future. At this age, you need to take some sensible decisions that will impact your long-term economic well-being.
Here we are sharing important recommendations and guidance on which you should follow around age 30:
1) Reducing Dependence on Parent's Money
You need to take control of your future and establish your own path, and hence it is important to disengage from your parents financially. Start taking responsibility for your own financial decisions and expenses.
2) Repay your Debts
This is the age where you should repay all your debts. If you have an educational loan or any kind of personal loan, then try to repay it at the earliest. You should learn how to deal with debt and should only take loans when it is absolutely necessary for you. You need to pay interest on your debt and therefore you should avoid it. You should increase your EMIs and clear your debt as soon as possible.
3) Cutting down on your spending
Once you start earning a regular stream of income, the first thing you need to do is establish a plan for managing your finances. By making a budget and tracking your income and expenses, then you would be in a better position to understand where your money is going and how you can afford to make cuts.
4) Creating an Extra Income
You need multiple sources of income in today's time to mitigate expenses. You need to figure out a way to start making more money or alternatively, devise a plan to cut down on your current costs instead of spending all of it. The extra income you generate can be used to payoff any debts you might have piled up, and by saving a little more towards your retirement can give a much needed boost to your finances.
5) Build an Emergency Fund
It is prudent to build an Emergency Fund now, if you have not build it yet. Putting aside money for unforeseen situations and events is very important and crucial so that you are always prepared to deal with what life has to offer. Build an emergency fund by building a corpus of funds which is enough to sustain your expenses for 6 months – 12 months. Invest 25% of this amount in your savings bank account and the rest 75% of the amount in money market mutual funds as it offers higher interest rate.
6) Buy an Adequate Insurance Policy
Having an adequate insurance policy is very essential to provide you with much needed financial security during times of uncertainity. You should buy a term life insurance plan which provides a cover which is at-least 10 times of your annual income. You should also take health insurance which adequately insures you. You can also save tax on your insurances as well.
With this, we move to the next topic:
HOW CAN YOU START FINANCIAL PLANNING AT THE AGE OF 30?
Wealth creation is one of the most important outcome of money management and how can you save your money.
Here, we look at few steps which you can take to fulfill your financial goals:
1) Set financial goals
You should avoid investing your hard-earned money in a haphazard and in an uninformed manner. Any investment should be done in the pursuit of a clearly defined objective.
For example:, if you are at 30 and your goal is to retire at 60 with Rs 1 crore as corpus, then you need to determine the monthly investment to be made in SIP to reach your financial goals.
Goal-less investing can have a disastrous impact on your portfolio and therefore, you should set clear goals and speak to a financial advisor if necessary.
The above table shows how much money you need to save on a monthly basis to reach retirement corpus of Rs 1 crore.
2) Protect your wealth
Life can sometimes make it tougher for you to reach towards your financial goals. Therefore, you should have an emergency fund and suitable insurance policies (Both life and health insurance policies) to cover yourself up.
3) Start investing
When it comes to financial planning, it is never too late to start investing. If you begin investing by now,then you have the necessary time and funds to achieve financial independence at the time of retirement. Moreover by making prudent investment decisions and using money smartly, you can become wealthier by letting your money do the work for you.
4) Start Planning for your Retirement
This is the right stage for you to plan for your retirement as you still have 30 years by your side to use the power of compounding.
Retirement planning is about getting off to a good start by investing on a consistent basis rather than putting it off for the next month. Starting investing for this goal as soon as possible would help you to build a bigger corpus.
5) Start diversifying your investments
It is not prudent to put all your eggs in one basket. You should try to diversify your investments in multiple asset classes to maximize your returns, minimize risk and maintaining liquidity of your portfolio. You should ensure that proper care must be taken to ensure that the optimum balance is maintained among your preferred asset classes.
For example; A portfolio with real estate investments would mean lacking liquidity during an emergency period, a gold heavy portfolio would be earning very low returns and an equity heavy portfolio would be volatile. Hence, it is prudent to come up with a suitable mix of asset classes.
6) Optimize your portfolio according to changing markets
After setting up your financial goals which, you can also track the markets on a regular basis to make use of the opportunities which the market offers. Therefore, it is necessary to revisit your investment plan periodically and taking corrective actions whenever necessary.
You should consult your investment adviser first before making any major changes in your portfolio.
You should remember that your 30s are an extremely critical time in your financial life because you have the benefit of time which an older person does not. Use it to your advantage and you can fulfill any financial goal you want. | eng | 65c16a07-e856-4e55-8d2f-f1390882e0b9 | https://planetfp.org/financial-goal-planning-at-age-30/ |

Tet el Bad Stone Coffin
The Tet el Bad Stone Coffin is a significant archaeological artifact located in Palau, a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean. This ancient stone coffin, carved from a single piece of rock, is a testament to the island's early inhabitants and their burial practices. It provides valuable insights into the cultural and historical context of the region. The coffin's discovery has sparked interest among historians and archaeologists, leading to various theories about its origin and purpose.
Historical Background of Tet el Bad Stone Coffin
Archaeologists stumbled upon the Tet el Bad Stone Coffin in the 20th century. The exact date of discovery remains unclear, but it has since become an important piece of Palau's history. The indigenous people of Palau, likely the creators of the coffin, have inhabited the islands for over 3,000 years. The coffin's craftsmanship suggests it was made for someone of high status, possibly a chief or a warrior. Over the centuries, the site has remained relatively undisturbed, preserving its historical significance.
The construction of the Tet el Bad Stone Coffin dates back to a time when Palauans practiced complex burial rituals. These rituals were deeply rooted in their beliefs about the afterlife and the importance of honoring the deceased. The coffin's design and location reflect these ancient practices. While there is no concrete evidence of who exactly built it, the methods used align with the skills of the early Palauans.
There are no records of the coffin being inhabited or used for any purpose other than as a final resting place. Its isolation from other historical sites suggests it was a singular, significant monument. The area around the coffin has not been the scene of any known historical events. However, its existence offers a glimpse into the daily lives and spiritual beliefs of the ancient Palauans.
The Tet el Bad Stone Coffin has not been moved or altered since its discovery. This has allowed for a more authentic study of the artifact and its surroundings. The site is not widely known outside of academic circles, which has helped in its preservation. The lack of interference also means that the coffin remains in its original cultural landscape, providing a more accurate historical context.
While the Tet el Bad Stone Coffin is not a widely recognized historical landmark, it is an important piece of Palau's heritage. It stands as a silent witness to the island's past and the ingenuity of its people. The coffin continues to be a subject of study, as researchers strive to uncover more about the early Palauan civilization and their burial practices.
About Tet el Bad Stone Coffin
The Tet el Bad Stone Coffin is a monolithic burial structure, carved from a single piece of limestone. Its dimensions and weight suggest that its creation was a labor-intensive process, requiring skill and precision. The stone's source is likely local, as Palau is rich in limestone deposits. This points to the resourcefulness of the island's early inhabitants in utilizing available materials.
The coffin's design is simple yet elegant, with a rectangular shape and a flat top. There are no elaborate carvings or decorations, which could indicate a focus on functionality or a reflection of the cultural aesthetics of the time. The stone's surface has weathered over the centuries, but the overall structure remains intact. This durability is a testament to the craftsmanship of its creators.
Architectural highlights of the coffin include its seamless construction and the precise fitting of its lid. The lid, also made from limestone, fits perfectly onto the base, which would have helped to protect the remains of the deceased from the elements and scavengers. The engineering involved in lifting and positioning such heavy pieces is still a subject of admiration and curiosity among researchers.
The methods of construction likely involved rudimentary tools made from harder stones or shells. The Palauans of the time had no metal tools, so the creation of the coffin would have been an arduous task. The smooth finish on the stone suggests a process of grinding and polishing that would have taken considerable time and effort.
The location of the Tet el Bad Stone Coffin is also significant. It is situated in a secluded area, away from the main residential zones of ancient Palau. This placement could have been strategic, meant to provide peace for the deceased or to signify a sacred space within the community. The isolation of the coffin adds to its mystery and allure for those studying Palau's past.
Theories and Interpretations
Several theories have emerged regarding the Tet el Bad Stone Coffin's purpose and significance. Some suggest it was a status symbol, reserved for individuals of high rank within the society. The effort involved in its creation implies that it was not for common use. The lack of similar coffins in the area supports this theory, indicating that it was a special structure for a special individual.
Another theory posits that the coffin may have had religious or spiritual significance. The ancient Palauans had complex spiritual beliefs, and the coffin's secluded location could mean it was part of a sacred ritual or site. The simplicity of the coffin's design might reflect a cultural emphasis on spiritual rather than material wealth in the afterlife.
Mysteries surround the coffin, particularly regarding the identity of the person it was made for. No human remains have been found inside, leading to speculation about whether it was ever used or if the remains were removed or decayed beyond recognition. The absence of inscriptions or artifacts within the coffin leaves its story untold.
Historical records from the period of the coffin's creation are scarce, making it difficult to match it to specific events or individuals. The interpretations of the coffin's purpose are based on broader knowledge of the region's history and culture. Archaeologists have had to rely on comparisons with other Pacific Island cultures to draw conclusions.
Dating the coffin has been challenging, but some estimates place its creation around 1,000 years ago. The dating methods used include stratigraphy and radiocarbon dating of nearby organic materials. These methods provide a rough timeline, but the exact age of the coffin remains uncertain. The ongoing research aims to narrow down the timeframe and uncover more about the coffin's origins | eng | e4154764-c608-42dd-b93e-74e643426065 | https://thebrainchamber.com/tet-el-bad-stone-coffin/ |

There is nothing more icky than cockroach sightings in your home. And for many people who live with cockroaches, it is like a recurring nightmare. The question is: why does this happen?
It could be for any number of reasons. You might have an infestation of roaches that came from your neighbors. Or you might have those pests living behind your wall paper.
Keeping cockroaches away from your home requires staying vigilant and on your toes from day to night. Knowing where to stow things, , how to avoid cockroaches, and perform cockroach control will help you remain cockroach-free in your property.
These bugs, flock to houses, apartment buildings, and other dwellings searching for food, warmth, and moisture. Once you have cockroach sightings in your home, it would be helpful to learn how they were able to come indoors so you can do some pest control.
The most common entry points of cockroaches
1. Doorways
A cockroach can easily slip inside your home through a small gap underneath a door. This is possible if you routinely leave your home's doors ajar.
If there's an opening between the floor of an outside-facing door and the ground, install a door sweep. These accessories are easy to install, and have the ability to keep gaps close to prevent cockroaches from entering.
2. Wall and foundation cracks
Gaps and cracks make it easy for roaches to enter your house. They are thin, oval shaped, and can squeeze through cracks as narrow as 1/16 of an inch. These pests can travel through crawl spaces, where they can then move quickly from room to room.
3. Plumbing lines
Roaches seek out living areas with moisture and nourishment. Houses and apartments have plumbing lines have these particular properties. They enter from the drains that connect to your home like shower drains and kitchen sinks. These are spots that have the greatest volume of storm drains and cooking debris.
4. Basements
If you live in a house, roaches commonly come to your property from places where they congregate, like the basement. Roaches in dark and humid spaces are attracted to small spaces, like a basement. This is because it is not properly insulated or vented, and they can travel from there to the rest of your house.
5. Neighbors
If you live in an apartment building, it's likely that the cockroaches in your unit may have come from another apartment. Apartments have a lot of shared walls, making it simple for roaches and pests to move about between the units.
6. Packages, Baggage, and Clothing
Cockroaches can also enter your home simply by hitching a ride on the things you bring indoors. Tiny German cockroaches infest a home after they were brought indoors because of deliveries and packages.
How to keep cockroaches away from your home?
To prevent cockroaches from invading your property, here are some steps you can do:
Key Takeaway

Cockroach sightings are not always a sign that your house is dirty. They can come from other sources, like your neighbors or they hitched a ride on things being taken indoors | eng | 9324f697-6555-44e9-aced-c07b8419e3e5 | https://www.greencare.com.sg/2022/01/19/cockroach-sightings-in-your-home-but-why/ |

ISO27001 – Control 5.7 – Threat Intelligence
Control
Information relating to information security threats should be collected and analysed to produce threat intelligence.
What this means
Organizations should gather and analyze information about security threats to understand the risks they face. This "threat intelligence" can help them take appropriate actions to prevent attacks or reduce the impact of an attack.
Threat intelligence has three levels:
Strategic – High-level information about the overall landscape of threats and attackers
Tactical – Details on the methods, tools, and technologies used by attackers
Operational – Specifics about active attacks and technical indicators
Good threat intelligence should be relevant to the organization, provide insightful information, give context around the threats, and enable the organization to take effective action.
To produce threat intelligence, organizations should:
Set objectives
Identify internal and external information sources
Collect information from those sources
Translate, format or corroborate information for analysis
Analyse the information to understand threats
Communicate/share the intelligence in a format which can easily be understood.
Organizations can use threat intelligence to improve risk management, update security controls like firewalls, and test their defenses.
It is possible to share threat intelligence with other organizations to improve everyone's awareness. Providers, government agencies, and collaborative groups are common sources of shared threat intelligence and provide a view of the changing threat environment.

Understanding Poly Tape Electric Fences
Have you ever wondered what makes poly tape electric fences stand out among other fence types? Efficiency, durability and flexibility make them ideal for containing livestock and deterring unwanted visitors.
Compared to traditional fencing options, poly tape electric fences deliver an effective psychological barrier. You'll generally find these being used for horse control, as the wide tape is highly visible, reducing the risk of impact. Made up of woven strands of conductive filaments, it provides a mild shock to any animal that touches it. Spacing between strands varies, providing options for increased visibility or greater cost-effectiveness.
However, it is not only about deterrence. Another major advantage lies in their flexibility. Unlike rigid fencing options, a poly tape fence can be easily modified or moved based on your changing needs. It's lightweight and relatively easy to install, especially with the proper tools and knowledge.
But the question might still linger in your mind. Can you tie a poly tape electric fence?
Well, the quick answer is, 'Yes, but…' It is important to understand that connection is key in terms of maintaining the conductivity and effectiveness of your fence. Tying the tape might seem like a quick fix, but it requires a technique to ensure that the connection remains robust and secure.
Let's delve in more to see the right way to tie a poly tape electric fence.
Importance of Properly Tying Electric Fences
If you're considering or already using poly tape electric fences, understanding the importance of tying them correctly is vital. Tying these fences not only facilitates installation but it's also integral for their prolonged efficiency.
Improperly tied fences can compromise the safety of your livestock. Miss a knot, do it the wrong way, and your prized horse might just gallop right through. The electric shock deterrent? Lost on them. Your strong psychological barrier with its promising high visibility? You might as well throw it out the window.
Connectivity and durability are two other crucial factors on the line. A wrongly tied knot or loosely fixed connection might result in decreased electric conductivity. Lower conductivity equates to a weaker shock, effectively lowering your fence's deterrent abilities.
Wondering what the impact on durability might be? Understand this: A loose connection or incorrectly tied fence puts undue stress on the fence itself. Over time, this leads to faster deterioration, and essentially, more frequent maintenance or replacements.
In fact, let's quantify the cost of these potential losses:
Cost Type
Potential Cost (Annual)
Livestock Losses
$500 – $1000
Lower Conductivity
$300 – $700
Increased Maintenance
$200 – $500
These numbers are a rough estimate, but they give you an idea of the cost implications of improperly tied electric fences.
So, if you're now asking "how, then, do we correctly tie a poly tape electric fence?" – don't fret. The upcoming sections will provide detailed, step-by-step guidance on this important aspect. Remember, prevention is key, and in this case, correct tying is your key to harnessing the full potential of poly tape electric fences.

Rhode Island Blue Chickens: 5 Things You Didn't Know
Rhode Island Blue Chickens consistently lay around 1 egg every single day, are quiet and friendly to live with while also being beautiful and resilient. This breed makes for the perfect combination of beauty, friendliness and production.
Many of the most popular chicken breeds today were created by crossbreeding other popular breeds of the time. By combining two different breeds, many breeders are able to take the best attributes of both breeds and combine them to create a "new and improved" breed of chicken.
In this article, we will be looking at a great example of a breed that has been intentionally developed by taking two exceptional breeds of chickens and combining them into an exciting breed: Rhode Island Blue chickens.
1. The Perfect Combination
Rhode Island Blues were created by hybrid crossing the Rhode Island Red and the Australorp, both of which are notoriously fantastic egg layers. Breeders took one of the most popular American chickens, the Rhode Island Red, and crossbred it with one of the most popular Australian breeds, the Australorp. This was a naturally fantastic pairing.
When they people hear of Rhode Island Blue chickens, they often think of one of the best-known American dual-purpose breeds: the Rhode Island Red, or "RIR" for short. Rhode Island Reds were originally created in the late nineteenth century in Massachusetts as a dual-purpose breed, and are the state bird of Rhode Island.
The American Poultry Association first admitted Rhode Islands into their Standard of Perfection in 1904. Rhode Island Blues are best known for yielding delicious, rich meat and for laying a remarkable 200-300 eggs each year. Most Rhode Island Reds are a deep red, almost black, color.
Rhode Island Blues' other half, the Australorp, was developed for the sole purpose of laying eggs. In fact, their egg-laying prowess brought them into the spotlight in the early twentieth century when they broke a record by laying 364 eggs in 365 days.
Today, that record is owned by the White Leghorn (371 in 364 days) but the Rhode Island Blue continues to be a reliable egg layer, averaging around 250 eggs per year. Australorps are recognized by the Australian Poultry Standard for having three colors: white, black, and blue. As the name makes apparent, the blue Australorp is what was used when creating the Rhode Island Blue.
2. A Beautiful Blue
What makes Rhode Island Blues stand out from the Rhode Island Reds is their stunning blue coloration. Most Rhode Island Blues have a primary grayish blue color that is perfectly contrasted with a red coloration in the neck and head.
The face, beaks, combs, wattles, and earlobes also have a blue hue to them that differentiates them from the usual red color. Most Rhode Island blues sport a single comb, though rose combs are known to exist.
Their coats also can vary quite a bit, with some chickens having a brighter red complexion, and others being almost black in color. Many Rhode Island Blues have black-laced feathers, meaning that each feather is outlined with a thin black line. This looks amazing when it is paired with the gray and blue colors, making the Rhode Island Blue a sight to behold.
Rhode Island Blues are considered large fowl and are similar in stature and size to Rhode Island Reds, with roosters weighing in at around 8lbs, and hens weighing in at around 6lbs. There are known bantam varieties of Rhode Islands, though they are definitely less common.
3. Prolific Egg Layers
Rhode Island Blues are known to be fantastic egg layers when compared to other similarly sized birds, such as the Orpington which lays about 175-200 eggs per year.
Rhode Island Hens lay beautiful large brown eggs. Some owners report seeing some more creamy, almost white eggs, but on average they will have a light brown egg color.
Egg Production
260 to 290 eggs per year
First Laying
18 to 20 weeks
Laying Span
5 years+
Egg Color
Light brown
Egg Size
Medium to large
Lays in Winter?
Sometimes
Pullets take to laying very naturally, so its recommended to introduce them to nesting boxes even earlier, potentially at 16 weeks old, for them to quickly become good layers.
4. Wonderful Personalities
If you're looking for a bird that's quiet and friendly, Rhode Island Blues might be the perfect fit. They are known for being incredibly docile and easygoing, and can even become lap chickens.
If handled frequently after hatching, Rhode Island Blues will quickly take to human company. While hens are usually always friendly, the roosters can be aggressive at times. If you decide to have a Rhode Island Blue rooster in your flock, be cautious when allowing children near your chickens.
Rhode Island Blue hens aren't particularly broody, which is a common trait of breeds that are bred to produce a lot of eggs. When they do go broody, the hens become good mothers and will be highly protective of their baby chicks.
5. Hardy and Reliable
Cold weather climates can sometimes be an issue for different breeds of chickens; however, the Rhode Island Blue is a remarkably cold-hardy breed that can adapt to a variety of climates. Because of their thick feathering, and the fact that they don't have large combs, Rhode Island Blues are resistant to the cold and aren't usually affected by frostbite.
Rhode Island Blues are also excellent foragers, and so can confidently be free-range as backyard chickens. They are highly curious, and will happily roam around your yard in search of a meal. Foraging is excellent for a chicken's health, as it allows them to eat a wide variety of nutrients.
Overall, the Rhode Island Blue are incredibly healthy birds, and this is largely due to their Rhode Island Red lineage. Rhode Island Reds were created from Malay chickens, which are known to be incredibly hardy birds. Besides the usual potential health threats that chickens face, like parasites and mites, Rhode Island Blues are an exceptionally active and healthy breed.
Is The Rhode Island Blue Right For You?
When it comes to finding a friendly, egg-laying breed of chicken, the Rhode Island Blue is an excellent choice. Not only are they perfect in a backyard flock as active foragers and friends to your other chickens, but they are also going to consistently produce quality eggs.
While roosters might have a more fiery temperament, most hens are incredibly sweet and loving. So if you want a chicken that will add a lot of personalities and a lot of eggs, to your flock, the Rhode Island Blue might be the perfect addition to your | eng | 55e0c5f1-bcf3-4ff2-92b2-64ee91eed12a | https://chickencaretaker.com/rhode-island-blue-chicken/ |
ilia Acte sarcophagus illustrating the story of Alkēstis at the Vatican in the Museo Chiaramonti was discovered in Ostia in 1826 by the architect Pietro Hall and Felice Cartoni. The Sabine sarcophagus dates to the second century A.D. and the Alkēstis sarcophagus dates by the inscription to between the years 160-170 A.D. The Sabine story is the Raptus of the Sabine Women while the Alkēstis story is according to Euripides' drama, Alkēstis.

It isn't a very complex idea neither one that would change the game much but as farming is the main theme of build 42 it would be rather nice and would make players take more care of they're plants. Most or all vegetables & fruits would have different sizes between them. Bigger ones having better stats (more cal etc) and smaller ones less. The more you water your plant / add fertilizer / or have a higher farming level would increase the chance of getting for example a potato with better stats or even gather little bit more potatoes. Wouldn't really be needed to make new sprites could just do a name change between them "(small) tomato" , "(big) tomato" and change stats between them
I am a pacifist (When it comes to animals) and an animal lover but I'd love to have a fox pet and to still be able to enjoy the presence of animals without killing them. I realize that taming adult wild animals is unrealistic and unfeasible but I have a different idea.
I propose a system where you can find baby animals and raise them, the baby animal will then trust you and not run away from you. That way you could eventually have a fox or deer pen.
I think this is a nicer alternative to hunting but it also gives animals a purpose for those who just wants them around.
What do you think?

Osculation: A Beginners Guide
The following is a deleted chapter from The Lost Princess, which takes place somewhere in the second half of the story and was removed due to word count restraint and tonal conflict. It is unedited, and hasn't been proof read.
'Binah, I made some chapattis and Nutella for your friends before they go.' Mrs Fae stepped into Binah's library holding a tray of freshly baked treats, the sweet and doughy smell making Ollie's mouth water. The resemblance between Binah and her mother was uncanny. They were both tiny, with huge cheek splitting grins and clear, dewy skin like polished oak, but while Binah had a labyrinth of curls spilling over her shoulder that seemed an extension of her powerful mind, her mother kept her hair short and out of the way.
'Thanks, momma.'
Raphael, ever charming, instantly materialised at Mrs Fae's side to lend her a hand, taking the tray and gifting her a butter-wouldn't-melt smile. As soon as she left the room, Percy continued his last ditch attempt at teaching Ollie basic sign language, and it was clear to everyone, he was terrible at it.
'Why am I so bad at this?' A groan escaped him as he tried to remember the hand movements for 'stupid', curling his fist into a ball and slapping it against his open palm.
'Well at least you've got that one right,' Raphael teased, exchanging a smirk with Percy that had them both snorting.
'The important thing is that you're trying,' Binah offered, helping herself to a hot chapatti, 'It's been scientifically proven that micro-learning is an effective technique, just fifteen minutes of study a day is all it takes to learn a new language.'
With as much enthusiasm as he could muster, Ollie made a thumbs up gesture and bounced it off his palm.
'Excellent.'
'You'll have it in no time,' Percy signed back encouragingly, his sleepy eyes warm with good-humour, but Ollie still struggled to make sense of the hand movements.
They said their goodbyes, and he watched curiously as the two Rosewood boys disappeared out of site to journey back home. After their creepy Rosewood adventure, Binah had invited them to stay at her parents' London townhouse – although it looked more like a mansion to Ollie. None of them wanted to be on their own after the spooky diary discovery and Ollie had been more than thrilled to spend more time with Binah. A day had turned into days and days had turned into weeks, and now he felt like he might disintegrate into nothing when he eventually had to go back to St Ives. His other life felt small, dollhouse people and furniture that could never be part of the real world.
'Three weeks.' Ollie stated, sitting up from the sunken, circular couch in the centre of the library. 'three weeks left of summer holiday and then I'm gonna stop slacking off. This year I will buckle down and act like a Rosewood student.' He'd decided, absolutely one hundred percent he would take up BSL as an afterschool class when the summer was over. The Rosewood students he'd met were all so talented and excited by learning new things, if he was going to keep up with Lottie he needed to be just as enthusiastic about improving himself. 'I want to be just like you, Binah.'
Her name felt delicious on his tongue, her presence in the room like the allure of fresh baked cookies.
With curved bookshelves in an endless spiral or knowledge, Binah's library was piled high with more books and plants than Ollie had ever seen. Up and up it went, a pillar of information and lush foliage, hanging plants and encyclopaedias, knowledge and nurturing, just like Binah.
'You can't be just like me,' Binah didn't look up from the glossy gossip magazine she was reading, although it seemed like an unusual choice for her. 'For one, your hair isn't nearly big enough so you'd have nowhere to hide all your secrets.'
'Not a problem,' He lay back again to take in the skylight above, evening light pouring over them in a citrine glow. 'I don't really have any secrets.' A pang of regret struck his chest at his utter lack of mystery. Lottie had a million secrets, Binah had a million facts. All these Rosewood students were brimming with hidden depth while he was plain old straight-forward Ollie Moreno.
'Ollie,' Two owl like eyes appeared upside down above Ollie's head, sunlight dripping around each curl of Binah's hair. She eyed him curiously, like she was trying to extract some kind of information from his brain, and if he knew what it was, he was sure he would give it to her. 'Do you have a crush on me?'
'What?' Ollie sat bolt upright again, and would have whacked Binah on the forehead if not for her quick reflexes. 'I don't… what?'
'It's the one thing I'm not very good at you see.' There was not a hint of embarrassment on Binah's face, just her usual pondering expression, and it made Ollie feel silly for going so red. 'As far as I can tell, no one is very good at this sort of thing, which only makes me want to research it more.''
'Binah, I don't know if-'
She cut him off before he had a chance to continue, her spectacles glinting in the light as she twirled a strand of hair thoughtfully. He wondered if anyone in the whole world had ever seen Binah Faye so unsure of something.
'Lottie's little royal triangle, for example, it utterly baffles me that everyone struggles so much to be straightforward with their feelings. I want to understand that feeling more; what makes it so complicated?'
A sharp pain in Ollie's cheek let him know he'd been distractedly chewing the inside of his mouth. This was a lot of information to take on, and it sounded like Binah was saying there might be something going on between Lottie and the strange Princess and bodyguard he'd met. It was a thick, tangle of emotions, confusing but not in a furious way, more like the resolute uncertainty when one starts a new puzzle or game. If Lottie had feelings for anyone, that was her business and he'd wait until she told him herself… even if he was painfully nosy.
'It's my Achilles heel, love, and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do.' She looked at him, eyes narrowing again, trying to probe that information from his mind again. 'I thought I might study you, and how you behaved around me, but I'm still just as confused.' Her eyelids closed slowly in thought, a meditative pose consuming her body like she was trying to think her way out of something. A snort of laughter very nearly escaped him, it was funny, that the smartest girl in the known universe could be so baffled by simple teenage emotion. But it was also sad, and he could see that it was troubling her greatly, and for the first time, in maybe her whole life, Binah might actually need someone else's help for a change.
'Binah,' Ollie began, lowering his voice a little. 'I think with things like love and crushes, you can't really know anything. You just have to let it happen. People need to fumble about and make mistakes, that's kind of the point. There's no science behind it, and most importantly,' The call to reach out and touch her was excruciating, but he resisted, not wanting to disturb their happy slice of friendship without her permission. Instead, he waited for her to look at him, her gaze still dripping with intrigue. 'Most importantly, it's not your responsibility to sort it out for everyone. You don't have to be helpful all the time for people to like you.' As the words tumbled out of his mouth, Ollie almost lost track of who they were for, a painful ache spreading through his body from his heart. These were words he should have said to Lottie years ago, but he never realised that's what he wanted to say. 'I can see why you and Lottie became friends.' The smile he mustered was filled with sweetness, a warm sticky dessert that could cheer anyone up.
Binah returned the gesture, letting the syrupy feeling take over, melting away any deep, untangle-able thoughts, if only for a little time.
'Ollie.' She said his name like a eureka moment, an unwavering determination and it nearly made him jump, but that was not at all the most shocking part. 'May I kiss you?'
'Errr,' It was the only thing Ollie could manage to say, feeling very much like the universe was playing a trick on him.
'It's absolutely fine if not,' Binah added calmly, much more calm that Ollie.
'I mean, yes, it's just, I thought you weren't interested in stuff like that?' Ollie's eyes were blinking furiously, trying to make some sense of what was happening. One second he'd been giving Binah the best advice he'd ever given anyone in his life, and now he was floundering like a fish on land.
'I'm not repulsed by these sorts of things;' She said, matter-of-factly, as if she were leading a class. 'I'd say I'm more inquisitive. They're not important to me but I'm not disgusted by them.' Her little hands moved to her face to push her glasses up, magnifying her eyes even more. 'And I suppose if I'm going to have my first kiss, It's sensible to have it with a nice person like you.'
First kiss! That was an awful lot of pressure. What if he was terrible and put her off kissing for life? Or what if he enjoyed it and she didn't? A million 'what ifs' exploded in his head, his palms going clammy as his breath sped up, and then he stopped, and looked at her.
Binah was the weirdest person he'd ever met and by far the smartest. She existed in a whole different dimension, a plane of thought he could never understand, yet the moment they'd started hanging out, he never felt stupid or intimidated, only excited to get a glimpse into her wonderful mind. Her magic power of knowledge was a gift she shared with everyone. Binah was a tiny little Athena, but she was also a normal teenager, confused and curious and kind, and he very, very much wanted her to kiss him.
'Yes please.' He could have kicked himself, it sounded so unenthusiastic. 'I mean, yes, I'd like that.'
She smiled up at him, shuffling closer on the round, white couch until they were shoulder to shoulder, but it still felt as though there were an endless sea between them. The world turned dark as both of them closed their eyes, leaning in slowly like waves meeting the shore. The moment their lips touched, Ollie felt the ocean crash around him. She tasted like honey and salt, her soft petal lips a warm sandy beach that conjured up memories of eating ice cream and popcorn on the peer. His hand moved instinctively to cup her cheek, smooth, plump skin warm under his touch. Ollie had kissed lots of girls in his life, but he'd never realised it could be so, well, nice. It felt like more than a kiss, like they were sharing something special, every second making a million fireworks go off in his head, and he just hoped she felt the same way.
'I see.' Binah said, a little breathless as they pulled away, and it took all Ollie's will power not to follow her lips. 'So that's what all the fuss about osculation is.'
The tingle lingered on Ollie's lips, and he struggled to see how she was able to talk after what he'd just experienced.
'I've never had a kiss like that.' Ollie said, his voice a murmur of what it had been.
'I'm afraid I have nothing to compare it to.' Binah replied, her hand resting on his knee. The words pulled him out of his trance. Blinking away the soporific effect, he looked at her, really looked at her, how her glasses were ever so slightly tilted now, and her lips a little puffy from the kiss.
'I enjoyed it.' He said, frankly, 'And I hope you did too, even if it's not really your thing, it's O.K if you didn't, thanks for, you know, thanks.' He cringed at his own clumsy words but Binah didn't seem to mind.
'I did enjoy it.' She gifted him one of her enchanting smiles that instantly made him feel better. 'But most importantly,' she added, still grinning. 'I understand what you meant now.'
'How so?' Ollie's nosiness returned, his eyebrows knitting together in interest. Readjusting her glasses and smoothing down her hair, Binah turned away in thought again.
'It's messy, and confusing, and I think, maybe, that's what people like about it.' She smiled again, but this time, it was gentle and pondering. 'It's out of their control.' | eng | 575304d6-ce9c-4f2a-b431-13ae8b22aa4c | https://www.therosewoodchronicles.co.uk/library/osculation-a-beginners-guide/ |
History: Through unrevealed means, Mr. Moth came to use a high tech aircraft to commit a series of daring heists. Mr. Moth managed to evade capture by the Manhunter from Mars over several confrontations. Finally, the Manhunter tricked Mr. Moth into taking the Martian Detective to his "cocoon" lair-- the local lighthouse where Moth had been holding its keeper hostage. Martian Manhunter easily subdued Mr. Moth, and the villain's henchmen immediately surrendered. All were promptly sent to prison.
Powers/Weapons/Vehicles: Mr. Moth did not appear to have any inherent powers, but had access to a moth-themed aircaft. This winged helicopter employed a high strength cable for grappling heavy items, and was armed with a machine gun. Mr. Moth also carried a special ray-gun pistol on his person.
Weaknesses: Like the moth that is attracted to light, Mr. Moth had a penchant for valuable objects that glittered. Mr. Moth was seemingly delusional, and was fixated on luminescent items of any kind. | eng | 77fe9ee9-b0a7-4fd3-90d0-5d0ec20296b4 | https://idol-head.blogspot.com/2009/06/vile-menagerie-mr-moth.html |
In a world that claims to embrace diversity and equality, there still exist societal taboos and stigmas surrounding certain topics, particularly when it comes to lingerie shopping and women's health conversations. These lingering taboos can have detrimental effects on women's body image, self-esteem, and overall well-being. In this article, we will delve into the importance of breaking these stigmas, encouraging open discussions about lingerie shopping and women's health, and how normalizing these conversations can promote body positivity and enhance women's overall quality of life.
The Lingering Taboos
Lingerie shopping, an activity that should ideally be a pleasant and empowering experience, is often clouded with unnecessary shame and secrecy. Society's historically conservative attitudes towards discussions about undergarments and intimate wear have perpetuated the notion that lingerie shopping is something to be hidden or embarrassed about. This mindset can lead women to feel uncomfortable or ashamed when exploring their lingerie options, even in the privacy of their own homes.
Similarly, women's health conversations, especially those concerning intimate and reproductive health, have often been treated as sensitive or inappropriate subjects. As a result, many women feel hesitant to seek advice or discuss these topics openly, leading to ignorance, misinformation, and missed opportunities for better health care.
The Impact on Body Image and Self-Esteem
The perpetuation of these taboos can have significant consequences on women's body image and self-esteem. When lingerie shopping is seen as an uncomfortable or shameful activity, it becomes challenging for women to embrace and celebrate their bodies. This can lead to body dissatisfaction, as women might feel pressured to conform to unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated by the media.
Moreover, the lack of open conversations about women's health can result in women neglecting important aspects of their well-being. When discussions about reproductive health, menstrual health, and sexual wellness are stigmatized, women might avoid seeking medical advice or necessary care, ultimately compromising their health and quality of life.
Education and Awareness: Promote educational campaigns that emphasize the importance of body positivity and self-acceptance. Encourage discussions about the diversity of body shapes and sizes, celebrating individual beauty.
Media Representation: ● Advocate for more inclusive and diverse representation of women's bodies in the media, including lingerie advertisements. ● Highlight real women with different body types to challenge unrealistic beauty standards.
Empowerment Through Lingerie: ● Emphasize lingerie shopping as an empowering act of self-expression and self-care. ● Promote the idea that lingerie is not solely for the pleasure of others but a way for women to feel confident and beautiful in their skin.
Open Dialogues: ● Encourage open discussions about women's health in schools, workplaces, and within social circles. ● Advocate for age-appropriate and comprehensive sex education that addresses women's health topics.
Collaboration with Brands: ● Partner with lingerie brands that promote body positivity and inclusivity in their marketing and product offerings. ● Support companies that actively engage in promoting positive conversations about women's health.
Conclusion
Breaking the stigma surrounding lingerie shopping and women's health conversations is an an essential step towards promoting body positivity and improving women's overall well-being. By encouraging open dialogue, celebrating diversity, and advocating for realistic representations of women's bodies, we can create a society that supports and empowers women.
