If You Do This During The Day, Your Stroke Risk Soars, New Study Says
This seemingly harmless activity could put your health in danger.
When it comes to your stroke risk, underlying health conditions and lifestyle choices play a significant role. Factors that may increase your chances of suffering from a stroke include smoking, heavy alcohol consumption, lack of exercise, and eating a diet high in saturated fat. High blood pressure and obesity have also been linked to stroke risk. Now, a new study has found a connection between a common activity that many of us indulge in during the day and an increased risk of high blood pressure and stroke. Read on to find out what it is, and whether you could be at risk.

Recognizing the early signs of a stroke is essential.

Stroke often appears suddenly and without warning. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), early signs of stroke include numbness or tingling on one side of the body, trouble speaking, vision problems, dizziness, severe headache, and confusion. If you experience these symptoms or notice them in others, seek medical attention right away. The sooner stroke victims get help, the better their outcome is likely to be.
Hypertension, on the other hand, is usually symptomless. Sometimes referred to as a "silent killer," if often doesn't manifest with symptoms until it's life-threatening. The American Heart Association (AHA) advises not to ignore your blood pressure just because you think a symptom will appear and alert you to the issue. Doing so is taking a gamble on your heart health—and potentially your life. Blood spots in the eyes, facial flushing, and dizziness are all signs of extremely high blood pressure, which is a major contributor to stroke risk.

A new study linked this activity with high blood pressure and stroke.
Woman Napping During the Day
A new study published in Hypertension, an AHA journal, reveals that adults who frequently take daytime naps have a 24 percent higher likelihood of stroke and a 12 percent greater chance of developing hypertension. The researchers looked at over 358,000 people from the UK Biobank who were free of hypertension and stroke. The participants were used to analyze the relationship between napping and first-time reports of stroke or hypertension.
The researchers found that participants younger than 60 who frequently napped had a 20 percent higher likelihood of developing hypertension compared with people the same age who reported never napping. In addition, after age 60, napping was associated with a 10 percent greater risk of high blood pressure when compared with those who never napped.
"These results are especially interesting since millions of people might enjoy a regular, or even daily nap," said E Wang, PhD, MD, the study's author and a professor at the Department of Anesthesiology at Xiangya Hospital Central South University, in a statement released by the AHA.
Men who nap regularly are more likely to develop a stroke or hypertension.
Older Man Napping
While an afternoon nap may seem harmless, the study's findings prove that increased napping frequency is a risk factor for hypertension and stroke—particularly for men. Of the frequent nappers in the study, a more significant percentage were men with lower education and income levels than those who reported napping rarely or never. These men also reported smoking, drinking daily, insomnia, snoring, and being an "evening person."
This is an excellent reminder to adopt healthy lifestyle habits to lower stroke risk. Such habits include exercising regularly, eating healthy, reducing stress, and getting enough sleep.
Sleep is an essential part of heart health.

According to the researchers, napping itself isn't unhealthy—but it could indicate poor sleep quality. If you need to get some shut-eye during the day to compensate for the lack of quality sleep at night, your heart health will suffer. The Mayo Clinic reports that occasional short naps generally don't affect nighttime sleep quality, but long frequent naps can disrupt restorative sleep and cause insomnia.
To lower your risk for hypertension and stroke, ensure you get as much quality sleep at night as possible, and keep naps to a minimum. Next time you feel the urge to lie down during the day, consider going for a brisk walk instead: It will help you feel energized and keep the afternoon slump at bay.

Hunt for Fossils Finds Warning for Warming Earth
May 27, 2008
Around 6:30 a.m., the sun rises above the butte to the east of my camp, and its light and heat signal the start to another day of paleontological fieldwork in the Bighorn Basin in Wyoming. I move my cot and sleeping bag back into my tent, pull on my field clothes and head over to the kitchen area for breakfast, calling out a "good-morning" to Eriks, my field assistant.
Within an hour, we pull out of camp in Sunshine, the bright yellow SUV I've rented for the summer. A short but bumpy ride later, we're at our fossil site. We have already spent a week prospecting for a good site and digging a quarry, and our goal is to count 1,000 fossil leaves from this site.
We pull blocks of rock out of the quarry using hammers, chisels and pick-axes, and then split the blocks to find leaves. Leaves become fossils when they are rapidly buried by fine-grained mud. The mud hardens to rock, and the leaf decays, leaving both its impression and a small gap in the rock. When we hit the rock with a hammer, the rock preferentially splits along the leaf fossil because of that gap.
I identify what plant species each leaf belongs to and what types of insect damage it has. Eriks records the data in my notebook and carefully wraps the "keeper" specimens in toilet paper to be shipped to the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., where I will carefully check my field identifications using a microscope and reference collections. On a good day, we can count 100 leaf fossils before heading back to camp for dinner, a moderately cool beer and another night sleeping under the stars.
I first visited the Bighorn Basin the summer after my junior year in college as a Smithsonian intern, and I fell in love with its desert scenery and abundant leaf fossils. This summer is my fourth and final field season in the Bighorn Basin collecting fossils for my doctoral thesis. I will use these fossils to study the effects of climate change on plant communities and their insect herbivores.
Insect damage is visible on well-preserved fossil leaves. For example, after an insect chews a hole in the leaf, the tissue around the damage toughens, essentially forming a scab around the damaged area. This is visible on fossils as a darkened rim around the hole. By collecting fossils from times that have different temperatures, I can look at how climate changes affect insect herbivores feeding in natural ecosystems.
The fossils I study range in age from 52 to 60 million years old. During this time, several significant temperature fluctuations occurred. One event that is particularly relevant to modern global warming is the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), a rapid warming of 5-10 degrees Celsius that was caused by the release of at least 4,000 gigatons of carbon into the Earth's atmosphere over a period of less than 10,000 years.
Insect damage on leaves from the PETM is very high, and we attribute the increase to the elevated temperature and increased carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere. This summer, I am targeting fossil sites from a cool interval to determine whether there is a decrease in insect damage, as I would expect, given the PETM results. By late spring, when I will defend my thesis at Penn State, I should have an answer.

Best Exercises To Relieve Stress
One thing you’ll notice at BioFit Performance in Oviedo, FL, is that everyone is working on his or her own personal program. Not everyone needs to lose weight, or wants to gain bulging muscles, some people just want to feel better and have more energy. Exercise can help you do that. One of the best things it does is to bring down your stress level. People who choose exercises to relieve stress get extra benefits, like better health and a great looking body. Unlike some of the side effects from medications, they’re ones you’ll be glad to experience.
The stress response is necessary, but can also be counterproductive.
The fight or flight response to stress kept early man alive. Whether it was a wild animal or hostile tribe that provoked the fear, the body prepared to run or fight, increasing the chances of man’s survival. The sympathetic nervous system triggers changes, sending hormones as messengers to make the changes. Blood flows to the body’s extremities and away from processes that aren’t necessary for either running or fighting, like digestion. The heart beats faster. Breathing rate increases and blood pressure rises.
There are few instances today when the stress response is suitable.
If your boss is screaming at you, you may feel like running or fighting, but it’s not appropriate. Running isn’t appropriate if the wash machine broke, or you’re running late for work, but stress occurs and the response kicks into action. You’re left with your heart rate higher, blood pressure elevated and that sick to your stomach feeling. How do you get rid of it? One way is to follow through and run. Run up and down the stairs. Run down the block or just walk briskly for a while until you calm down. Why do you think pacing is so popular when people are under stress? People have learned it made them feel better.
Many active exercises can help, but so can some more subtle ones.
When you think of exercise, you think sweat and exertion, but there are some stress relievers that don’t require that. The gentle stretching of yoga can help, but the breathing exercises from yoga can help even more. Slowly take a deep breath in, pushing your stomach out to open the diaphragm. Hold. Then exhale as you mentally feel all muscles relaxing. Repeat about five times as you focus on your breath. Other Eastern relaxation techniques, like meditation, are also excellent for relaxation.
• Not only does exercise burn off hormones of stress, it triggers the creation of hormones that make you feel good, like dopamine and endorphins. These are Mother Nature’s natural pain killers, which could also help if you’re injured in an attack.
• Exercise is so effective, it’s now being used as adjunct therapy for anxiety, addiction and depression instead of medication. It only takes 45 minutes of moderate exercise five times a week to feel the difference.
• Any type of aerobic exercise that gets your heart rate up can be a stress buster. It can be something fun like playing basketball, hiking or kickboxing or as simple as doing calisthenics.
• Consider HIIT—high intensity interval training or circuit training. HIIT isn’t an exercise, but a method of doing any exercise. You modify the intensity, alternating intervals from high intensity to a recovery pace for an equal or longer time, then continue to repeat the process.

10 Great Sports Movie One-Liners from the Past 25 Years

10 Great Sports Movie One-Liners from the Past 25 Years
0 of 10
Kevin Winter/Getty Images
We love sports films for a number of different reasons, usually tied to some combination of heartfelt emotion, rooting for the underdog and inspirational dialogue. That's why these 10 great sports movie one-liners from the past 25 years should bring back good memories.
Who doesn't love Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.) in Jerry Maguire saying, "A real man does not shoplift the pooty from a single mom," which is just one of at least a dozen gems from that Oscar-nominated film.
The truth is, we remember sports movies for iconic moments and memorable lines that produced spit-take laughs, put a lump in our throat or made us go "Awww", even though we were fully aware of the emotional manipulation.
The one-liners in this list are confined to films made in or after 1991, and they have nothing to do with the quality of the movies from which the lines are taken.
In other words, not every film on this list is a classic by any means; in some instances the one-liners are the best part of the film.
So get comfortable, grab some popcorn and sample some of the greatest sports movie one-liners from the past 25 years.
Warning: Some of the videos in this slideshow contain adult language.
Yo Adrian! What’s the most memorable line from your favorite sports movie? From Rocky to The GodfatherCaddyshack and more, the stories behind the movies you love are coming to CNN! The new CNN original series The Movies, from the people who brought you The Seventies and The Eighties, starts Sunday, July 7 at 9 p.m. ET/PT only on CNN.
Happy Gilmore (1996)
1 of 10
The film traces the quest of Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) as he tries to become a golf pro in a bid to earn enough money to save his grandmother's house from foreclosure.
Memorable Scene
The movie is rightly known for the gut-busting scene in which Gilmore suffers a beatdown at the hands of famous game show host Bob Barker. That scene has the distinction of winning the first MTV Movie Award for Best Fight, and also contains one of the film's signature one-liners.
Great One-Liner
“The price is wrong, b---h.”
After Gilmore takes down a well-tanned Barker for maligning his golf skills, he delivers this classic as he stands triumphantly over the fallen old man, until Barker wipes the smile off Gilmore's face by knocking him out.
Jerry Maguire (1996)
2 of 10
A soulless sports agent named Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise) has a crisis of conscience and tries to hold on to his last client, Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr.), a talented but inconsistent wide receiver, while also romancing a single mom (Renee Zellweger).
Although some fans debate whether this is in fact a sports film, Foxsports.com ranked it 12th on its list of 20 greatest sports movies of all time.
Memorable Scene
Maguire has to prove he's worthy of representing Rod in an epic phone conversation that also contains the film's best one-liner.
Great One-Liner
"Show me the money."
Tidwell delivers his memorable line after Maguire asks him what it will take to keep him as a client, and forces Maguire to repeat it several times down the phone before finally agreeing to stick with him.
Could there really be any other one-liner from this movie that defined why it remains a classic? Yes, "You had me at hello" is outstanding and "Help me, help you" is marvelous, but Jerry Maguire is most famous for showing us the money.
Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)
3 of 10
NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby (Will Ferrell) tries to regain his championship form after an accident leaves him in the hospital, he loses his Formula One title to newcomer Jean Girard (Sacha Baron Cohen) and his wife Carley (Leslie Bibb) leaves him for his best friend Cal Naughton Jr. (John C. Reilly).
Memorable Scene
The family dinner prayer scene. (Warning, the link to the video of that scene contains language that may not be suitable for children).
Great One-Liner
"If you ain't first, you're last."
Bobby's memorable one-liner after winning yet another race is hilariously simple, not to mention accurate if analyzed from the point of view of a champion who thinks of second place as being the first loser.
Placing first is all that matters in Bobby's world, which comes back to bite him when Girard takes away his title and his best friend beds his woman.
The laughs in the film come fast and furious, which is why Bill Simmons, writing in a Grantland review, called it an "exceedingly rewatchable cable movie," that had more than a dozen laugh-out-loud moments.
White Men Can’t Jump (1992)
4 of 10
Billy Hoyle (Woody Harrelson) and Sidney Deane (Wesley Snipes) team up on the street basketball circuit to con other teams and win money to pay off Hoyle's debt to mobsters, while learning some valuable cultural truths about each other.
Memorable Scene
Hoyle and Deane run a street ball con on Raymond (Marques Johnson), who reacts badly and threatens to shoot everyone on the court after he learns he's been swindled. (Warning, the link to the video of that scene contains language that may not be suitable for children.)
Great One-Liner
"See white people, y'all can't hear Jimi … you listen."
Deane says this in a conversation with Hoyle and his girlfriend Gloria Clemente (Rosie Perez), as they're driving in a car and Hoyle puts in a tape of Hendrix's "Purple Haze." (Warning, the link to the video of that scene contains language that may not be suitable for children.)
This funny line encapsulates the entire cultural argument between Deane and Hoyle about the differences between blacks and whites, and is one of the reasons Thomas Golianopoulos of the now-shuttered Grantland called it the "funniest basketball movie ever made," a sports film that examined race relations and stereotypes without shying away from controversy.
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)
5 of 10
Gym owner Peter La Fleur (Vince Vaughn) and his band of misfits must compete in a dodgeball contest to raise the money to save their gym from ruthless health club guru, White Goodman (Ben Stiller).
The movie has become a sports classic and holds a 70 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
Memorable Scene
The scene in which Patches O'Houlihan (Rip Torn) trains La Fleur's ragtag group how to dodge a ball by using a wrench as a painful example.
Great One-Liner
"Nobody makes me bleed my own blood. Nobody!"
Katherine Veach (Christine Taylor) smashes Goodman's face into the wall outside her house when he tries to kiss her, despite the fact he disgusts her. Goodman responds to the assault with this ridiculous line that showcases the depths of his stupidity.
A League of Their Own (1992)
6 of 10
Jimmy Dugan (Tom Hanks), a failed baseball manager, coaches an underdog team in the first professional all-female baseball league, dealing with in-fighting, jealousy and outsize egos.
Memorable Scene
Dugan flings a glove at a chubby kid in suspenders who stands in front of the team's dugout and taunts the players that they are about to lose a game.
Great One-Liner
"There's no crying in baseball."
No other quote from this most-quotable sports film is as well-known or repeated than this gem Dugan utters in astonishment after he chews out Evelyn Gardner (Bitty Schram) for a fielding mistake, and she begins to weep.
The one-liner was ranked 54th on a list of 100 greatest movie quotes published by the American Film Institute (AFI).
Space Jam (1996)
7 of 10
The Looney Tunes gang, led by Bugs Bunny, challenge aliens to a basketball game to determine whether they will be taken to a planet to become attractions at a theme park or win their freedom. After the aliens steal the powers of NBA stars such as Larry Bird and Charles Barkley, Bugs Bunny recruits Michael Jordan to help his team win.
Memorable Scene
During an NBA game between the New York Knicks and the Phoenix Suns, the aliens steal the basketball talents of Patrick Ewing and Barkley, which results in some hilariously bad acting by the hardcourt legends.
Great One-Liner
"I don't play defense."
Bill Murray utters this classic one-liner after arriving on the court during the climactic game against the aliens. He huddles up with Jordan and the rest of the Looney Tunes team, and draws up an offensive play. When Jordan tells him, "Bill, we're on defense," Murray responds with this deadpan quote.
Zach Lowe, writing for gone-but-not-forgotten Grantland, suggested Murray is the real hero of the film and steals every scene in which he appears, including ones with the charismatic Jordan.
Any Given Sunday (1999)
8 of 10
Football coach Tony D'Amato (Al Pacino) must learn how to wrangle his wild-child new quarterback, Willie Beamen (Jamie Foxx), and unite his team as he faces mounting pressure from the ambitious owner, Christina Pagniacci (Cameron Diaz).
Memorable Scene
Pagniacci walks into her team's locker room while the players are in various states of undress and congratulates them on a victory. Watching the men react to their owner's presence as she walks through their midst is priceless, and as Stephen Marcie of Esquire wrote, the scene shows how completely Pagniacci owns these men, body and soul.
Great One-Liner
D'Amato says these words as part of an inspiring speech he gives his team before a big game, and despite the usual "big-game speech" cliches, it's a powerful and emotional scene that nearly atones for some of the film's more operatic and grandiose moments.
Fever Pitch (2005)
9 of 10
Ben Wrightman (Jimmy Fallon) falls in love with Lindsey Meeks (Drew Barrymore), who thinks he's a great guy until she discovers he's a diehard Boston Red Sox fan, which becomes a huge obstacle in their relationship.
Memorable Scene
At a Red Sox game, Wrightman explains to his friend why fans keep attending even though the team continues to lose (the film's ending had to be rewritten after the team's 2004 World Series win). Wrightman's speech is simple, clear and goes to the heart of what it means to be a fan.
Great One-Liner
"Will you go to opening day with me?"
Holding a small box, Wrightman gets on one knee in front of Meeks as if he's going to propose marriage, and instead opens the box to reveal Red Sox tickets.
(The actual "proposal" starts at 2:03 of the video)
The Sandlot (1993)
10 of 10
Scottie Smalls (Thomas Guiry) befriends a group of boys, led by Hamilton Porter (Patrick Renna), who love sandlot baseball, and together they hang out together in this coming-of-age story Bryan Alexander of USA Today referred to as a "cult classic."
Memorable Scene
Porter gets into an insult contest with the leader of a rival group of baseball kids and wins the face-off by telling the boy he plays baseball like a girl.
Great One-Liner
"You're killing me, Smalls."
This is Porter's response to Smalls, after Porter asks him if he wants a s'more, and Smalls, having no clue what a s'more is, wonders how he can have more of something he hasn't had yet, which triggers Porter's classic one-liner that is now part of pop culture.

Doctor Who delivers another mediocre case-of-the-week, with barely any movement on the larger, more interesting arcs of the season.
TV Review: ‘Doctor Who’ – ‘In the Forest of the Night’
In the latest episode of the BBC’s Doctor Who, “In the Forest of the Night,” trees suddenly sprout all over the Earth, clogging major cities and seemingly taking over everything. Is this an alien invasion? The environment fighting back against human intrusion? An attempt to create chaos? Or something else entirely? The Doctor (Peter Capaldi), assisted by Clara (Jenna Coleman), Danny Pink (Samuel Anderson), and a group of schoolchildren, intends to find out.Doctor Who
The core mystery at the center of “In the Forest of the Night” is interesting. Like the Weeping Angels and the creatures that live under the bed, the trees are an ever-present, real thing made creepy. When The Doctor theorizes that fairytales paint the woods as haunted because the trees have long been a threat to mankind, it makes sense. Not only that, but the motivation for attacking us, who harm them, is sound. But when that idea is turned on its head, that the trees actually protect us, not hurt us, it’s a twist on a structure used often in Doctor Who, making it seem somewhat fresh.
It is also interesting that no one wants to be saved by The Doctor if their families will die. The kids need their parents, Danny needs to stay and stand his ground, and Clara doesn’t to be the last remaining human. There’s a theme of loneliness explored a bit, forcing a perspective that many compassionate humans can agree with and get behind.
The Doctor doesn’t understand this. The 12th Doctor, more than previous incarnations, is self-involved and doesn’t worry about others unless they’re among the few individuals he cares about. At one point, The Doctor considers leaving the Earth to its fate, everyone doomed to die, and I kind of wish the series had gone through with this. Not only would it irrevocably shift the dynamic between Clara and The Doctor, it would force the writers to deal with a callous part of The Doctor that has been festering all season. Instead, it’s hinted at and then dropped, disappointingly, as The Doctor reverts to form and figures out the puzzle.
Clara is in the opposite position from The Doctor, learning to care a lot about those around her. A year ago, while she would have continued to urge The Doctor to fight on, she might not have been so willing to die with everyone else. Now, she has Danny, understanding Danny who will forgive her lies about cutting off ties with The Doctor if she can figure out how to be true to herself. He gives his very good explanation of what he wants out of life, and it appeals to her. I think Danny will help Clara be who she should be, giving up her adventures and escapism to finally start living the life she’s meant to have.
It’s actually pretty ridiculous how the children fold into this story. Doctor Who has involved civilians in the past, but rarely on this magnitude. All of Clara and Danny’s charges (none among the recognizable ones from previous weeks) are in on the secret, present for the important parts. What’s more, it phases none of them to learn The Doctor’s secrets, which is tongue-in-cheekily dealt with, but certainly not in a satisfactory manner.
As has been usual this fall, “In the Forest of the Night” is mostly a stand-alone episode. There is barely a glimpse of Missy (Michelle Gomez), and character arcs are only touched upon, not explored. Doctor Who‘s large stories would lose nothing by leaving this episode out of the run, and that’s never a good sign. Where has the series, which used to be complex and convoluted, gone so wrong that most hours these days are forgettable?
So, as has happened a lot lately, “In the Forest of the Night” leaves one with an empty feeling. Good ideas are not realized as fully as they should, and the story does not sufficiently tie into the bigger picture. Where once there is a mythology-heavy must-see program, in the eighth season, those in charge have made the show more “normal,” more pedestrian, and far less appealing to discerning fans. I don’t know if this is meant to help the show continue to grow in its appeal to the masses, but it’s having the opposite effect on the fans, with viewing numbers shrinking greatly this year. This episode is not the way to fix that.

today I'd like to talk a little bit about fire and fire starting I got some stuff in front of me here you have natural materials that I collected today and I have some fire starting equipment tools most of our fire steels I also have Flint steel matches and a lighter now nothing against matches or later I think that they're very useful and very quick and they do do a very good job well I honestly wouldn't go camping without some waterproof matches or matches in a waterproof container not being said you can only carry so many matches especially your backpacking you know try to save weight save space waterproof containers are awesome except for when they're not waterproof anymore you know like you're trying to get a match out Falls anything moisture can even get inside so that's a downside lighter all it takes is you drop in the snow and it doesn't work for half an hour or so it's obviously disadvantage there like I said though very very useful so we're just going to go through a couple things here I want to show you my thoughts on fire starting and first starting program so made some feather sticks their curls actually some are really fine and some are not do that on purpose the next I have some grass and so my tools and then on that side I have Phragmites and some oak leaves that I found still on the tree so first up I got this new fire steel magnesium block combo from a member hemlock on the bush bushcraft USA forums so thanks a lot man that's really cool of you to do he gift it to me so it's on this pot wood I'm not sure how to say it but it's it's a softer wood that you can actually scrape off and use that as a tender if you need to so what it does is the one side if you didn't know has magnesium and you scrape the magnesium off then you spark it and the magnesium really ignites pretty good on there so that's a new one to me I use the only playing around at my basic not sure how I like it or going to test out today this is the same thing just a small one that will go on my keychain I like the idea of this it's very small in these uh woodsman did a little quick review on them these aren't the normal hacks up like he was saying they're actually throw the sparks a lot better so that's kind of cool he's got this little one to slow crappy one light my fire I won this one I used for a couple years it was originally this size these are my favorite these are the fire steel calm ones they send out gobs of sparks they're nice I got something steel kit so put steel in my opinion is a novelty flint and steel is cool it's a nice thing to show your friends I would never ever rely on flint and steel a few reasons you have to have char cloth I've never found dry chaga I know sometimes you can use ovum of milkweed but good luck finding that most times here dry so really a lot of things have to come into play to make the flint and steel work and I don't ever rely on it it is fun so first up I think I want to start it with the magnesium fire steel combo so you're supposed to just shave some magnesium like a dome bar shaves pretty easy I'm just using all my Swiss Army knife normally I would do this on top of the tinder that I'm using it with but I'm just using this grass right off first and the grass of go up play the first steel by itself so I'm going to light that and try and stick the grass on top of it so you flip it around and it's got the first deal on it throw a spark in there and there it goes just the grass with a normal fire steel this should go up no problem just as good so that's good I think that the magnesium is better when you have a little bit like well let's try it so here are some curls all right let me give you an example these curls are the curls that I would like to use like with a firesteel these I did on purpose they have their barely touch and have so much space in between them they're not very good at all but maybe if we get some magnesium on there let go up and again I'm just going to do it there and strike it right onto that and add my tinder afterwards as opposed to trying to put for magnesium on this which wouldn't say at all
there you go I want to use these nice curls now with just a normal fire steel that goes
so the key a big part of this is having a good base I have this big piece of bark here and I wouldn't be able to push down on it like I am like I'm really forcing these down with a marginal base you need to either split a log and lay it down or have something like this bark I'm going to show you here that matches are no quicker than a firesteel when you have the right tinder this is another one of those good feather sticks got my all strike with anywhere matches and that one up real well too but like I said no much more effort with a fire steel than the matches I think this is going to work out really well I have this oak leaf one of those oak leaves that I found and I'm scraping the magnesium right on top of it keeping it on top to Oakley if I want to start the fire throw this work right on top and it should catch the oak leaf I actually worked out really well it was up up in a flash but let's see if the oak leaves will work just a fire skill there we go those leaves are no good they just die rate out I was going huh not bad these Phragmites make a good flash tender I'll use this this little light my fire one instead this is a Swedish style yeah just a little flash tender but enough to get a fire going with that if you had the right kindling actually just throw some one right there yeah I would work so I have a good curls here nice and thin ones and I have this late my fire one a little small one with this kind of striker on I'd like to see if this will ignite these I like a big fire steel and I like the other style better but I don't know this should work we shall see oh yeah yeah not too bad so I think I realized while doing this so here all these fire skills are very viable I know what I like personally and it's the fire still calm style one that throws gobs I like the bigger ones but all of them worked along did fine I think that the magnesium one is a good one for people start now or just to have in your pack in case you have some not great tinder it's definitely not and not a stepping stone you still have to prep your prep very good but it's another another tool in the kit to have even the small light my fire one which I never got it gave any thought to because it's so small and it's got this stupid little striker that I don't like on it it works just as well pretty much as my other fire steel on the shavings and the shavings are the hardest ones to light like the the Phragmites and that stuff the grass that goes up goes up with nothing but I was surprised I want to kind of like that so well we're out here maybe I'll just do a fire with a flint steel look just for fun because I brought it out so like I said flint and steel to me it's a novelty the thing of the past imagine imagine the people who used to use footing steel showing them a lighter or matches I'm sure that they would have chose that the lighter of the match is over top Flint steel every time but it's fun it's a it's an old-timey kind of thing
I prepped out my fire before I started doing this so I'm not running around like a crazy man trying to get twigs off branches and whatnot the wind is blowing that way so I'm sticking it this way so I don't get smoke all in my face so maybe this helped you a little bit but I hope so but if not that's okay too thanks for watching and I'll see you again

How does adultery affect divorce in California?
How does adultery affect divorce in California? California is a No-Fault Divorce State
Usually, infidelity does NOT impact property division (unless the cheating spouse wasted marital assets on the affair), spousal support, or child custody, with limited exceptions. In by far the majority of cases, cheating will not affect child custody.
What is the law on adultery in California? Many states have made adultery illegal, and their criminal laws contain definitions of adultery. California has not made adultery a criminal act, so there’s no official state definition of adultery.
Can I sue my husband for adultery in California? Moreover, California does not have a criminal statute against adultery. This means you typically cannot sue someone for having an affair with your husband.
How do you prove adultery in California? Proving Adultery in California
However, courts and lawyers typically agree that adultery is defined as “sexual intercourse committed with a non-spouse by a married person.” Generally, proving adultery requires showing that the alleged adulterous spouse had both the opportunity and the disposition to commit adultery.
Does my wife get half if she cheated on me?
This means they are likely to be awarded one half of the matrimonial assets unless your respective ‘needs’ mean that an unequal split is necessary. In some circumstances, in light of the parties’ respective needs, a cheating spouse will end up with more than half of the assets, at least in the short term.
Does infidelity affect alimony in California?
What proof do you need to divorce for adultery?
Proving adultery took place in your marriage is difficult but possible. Direct evidence (not hearsay) can come in the form of proof, such as eyewitness testimony or the guilty party admitting to the adultery (can be either the spouse or the paramour). There is also circumstantial evidence that can act as proof.
How do you prove infidelity in court?
(f) Admission of adultery by wife through letters. (g) Testimony of disinterested witnesses to the effect that they had seen the respondent sleeping together with another person in nights is sufficient to prove adultery. (h) A solitary instance of voluntary sexual intercourse by wife with other person is enough.
Can you go to jail for adultery in California?
What is considered committed adultery?
The term adultery refers to sexual acts between a married person and someone who is not that person’s spouse. It may arise in a number of contexts. In criminal law, adultery was a criminal offence in many countries in the past, and is still a crime in some countries today.
What are the three types of adultery?
Here are five sorts of adultery you likely didn’t think about.
• Passionate Adultery.
• Energetic Adultery.
• Mental Adultery.
• Visual Adultery.
• Spiritual Adultery.
What’s the difference between adultery and infidelity?
Adultery means engaging in physical sexual activity. Infidelity can be either being emotionally or physically engaged. Adultery is considered a criminal offense and as grounds for divorce in certain jurisdictions. Infidelity is not considered as a criminal offence, and neither is it considered grounds for divorce.
What happens in a divorce if you commit adultery?
While some states have made adultery illegal, California is not one of them. On its own, adultery or cheating by either spouse is not likely to affect a divorce in California.
What are your rights if your husband commits adultery?
A court may reduce your spouse’s awarded portion of any property acquired during the marriage if the spouse committed adultery or spent money on gifts, vacations, or living expenses for the person with whom they were having an affair.
Does the adulterer have to pay for the divorce?
Will I have to pay for the divorce and fees if I committed adultery? There is no difference to the administrative fees of getting divorced just because either party has committed adultery. The processing and court fees are the same whatever the reason for divorce.
What is a wife entitled to in a divorce in California?
How can I avoid paying alimony in California?
Prove your spouse is cohabiting with someone else: If you can prove that your spouse is living with someone else, you may be able to get out of paying spousal support altogether. Likewise, if you can show that your spouse can earn a reasonable living, you may be able to have your alimony payments reduced or eliminated.
How many years do you need to be married to get alimony in California?
Who qualifies for alimony in California?
Who Pays Spousal Support? California laws on spousal support are gender neutral—either spouse may request support. If one spouse needs financial support and the other can afford to pay it, the judge will order the higher-earning spouse to pay alimony to the lower-earning spouse, regardless of their genders.
Is spousal support mandatory in California?
When going through a divorce, the courts may determine that one partner must make monthly payments to the other partner. Spousal support is not awarded in every single case, though.
Can a working wife get alimony?
Working or Non-working, wives are entitled to alimony provided they meet the requirements for claiming the same! The law is settled where a wife unable to maintain herself is entitled to get alimony.

Marketing’s role in find investors with environmental initiatives: step-by-step guide
Aug 29, 2019 3:00 PM
There is no doubt that becoming sustainable is a must for companies competing in today’s business world. Not only is it the right thing to do to help protect our planet, but it’s what consumers want and what investors want. Yes, even investors want to see the companies they choose to invest in making efforts to become more sustainable. In fact, 44% of investors say they actively avoid companies that have a poor sustainability track record.
With this in mind, how do companies use good sustainability efforts to attract investors? It’s certainly not enough to simply declare their intentions. Action must be taken. Companies must not only strive for compliance with government regulations; they must ensure their sustainability efforts give them a competitive advantage in every way.
Marketing can find investors with environmental initiatives. But how?
However, it’s also not enough to be actively sustainable. If word doesn’t get out, neither consumers nor investors will take the time to seek you out and find out what your company is doing. For this reason, it is up to marketers to determine how a company’s sustainability efforts are communicated to the various stakeholders, including investors.
Here are some steps to take to ensure that happens.
1. Decide on your sustainability strategy
If you haven’t already, take a good look at where your company can make a difference in terms of sustainability. Nearly every company can reduce their carbon footprint in some way. Other areas of sustainability include things like green packaging, energy conservation, the ethical sourcing of raw materials, and the ethical manufacture of their products.
As a company, you need to decide on your approach to sustainability. This approach should, first and foremost, take into consideration compliance. Then it should take into account competitive advantage. And marketing should be involved in these decisions every step of the way. After all, these are the people who will effectively show the world what your company is doing to become more sustainable.

2. Align sustainability with business strategy
When sustainability is undertaken purely for the sake of sustainability, this strategy can fall apart as easily as a house of cards. But when sustainability is aligned with your company’s business strategy, it is reinforced and can stand the test of time.
For example, Toyota coupled its development of the hybrid engine with a reduction in dependence on rare earth minerals. The result was a more sustainable product, waste reduction, and less financial and operational risk for the company because they relied less on imports. This is the kind of thing investors want to see, that your sustainability efforts boost the bottom line, rather than hurt it.
3. Put it in terms of numbers
With the above in mind, a company’s sustainability must be quantifiable. What is the return on their sustainability investment (ROI)? Are their sustainability efforts sustainable? There must be a business case made for sustainability and it must include ROI and other quantifiable numbers that show investors it’s worth their attention.
4. Get the board onboard
An incredible 86% of executives believe that the board of directors should be intimately involved in a company’s sustainability efforts. However, just 48% say their CEO is involved and only 30% say their board is involved. Yet, it is the board of directors that is often directly connected to various key stakeholders, including investors.
If the board can’t adequately tell investors about your company’s sustainability efforts, those investors will be far less likely to pay attention to you. Have marketing communicate directly with the board to help them know how to position your company in the eyes of investors.
5. Collaboration: the key to find investors
It takes many different stakeholders to ensure a company runs smoothly and makes a profit. All these stakeholders are critical in ensuring that sustainability efforts succeed. This includes suppliers, manufacturers, shipping and logistics, and distribution. When a collaborative effort is made on the part of all these key players, marketers can include those collaborative efforts in their marketing initiatives. It’s just one more level of your company’s sustainability efforts that investors will be interested in.
This collaboration can also be brought down to an organizational level. Every decision made in every department must have sustainability in mind. Every employee should be involved in those decisions, whether that the philanthropic efforts of the company to make a positive impact on the local community or to bring sustainability into the DNA of the company and its operations. Marketers can use this to their advantage, focusing on these efforts, creating personal stories of employees to share with investors, showing how infused sustainability is in every facet of the company.
6. Be totally transparent
When all is said and done, the sustainability efforts a company makes is only part of the whole. There must be complete transparency to ensure investors know what a company has done and the results of their efforts. Through transparency, sustainability efforts can be advertised, assessed, and improved upon.
Marketers are key in this transparency. They can ensure that sustainability reports are properly marketed and adequately distributed. They can ensure that your company’s sustainability efforts shine through in your advertising, social media presence, and content marketing initiatives.

Calculate your shipping carbon footprint and start finding new investors
In the end, all the hard work your company has done to improve sustainability must be communicated to investors and all other stakeholders. It is marketing’s job to ensure this happens. By ensuring marketing is involved in all key decision-making and has available to them adequate quantifiable information, personal stories, and the commitment of all stakeholders, they can develop a marketing package exclusively targeted to investors, ultimately bringing them onboard for the long run.
Quantifiable numbers are critical when marketing to investors. To calculate your shipping carbon footprint, check out our carbon footprint calculator.

Whether inroads are made to reducing violent crime depends to an extent on the media.
On 24 May 2022 another massacre of children in an American school took place, this time in Uvalde, Texas (1), Russia’s war on Ukraine raged on, (2) and a woman was beaten to death by her son in Uttar Pradesh (3).
One thread that weaves these events together is the culture of macho masculinities that is pervasive in most societies the world over. Historically, 98% of perpetrators of mass shootings in the U.S. identify as male (4), war has been waged almost exclusively by men with few exceptions (5), and gender-related killings of women and girls are committed primarily by men (6).
A second thread is a pattern of gender blindness in news media reporting on these and other violent crime incidents.
An analysis of media coverage of American school shootings found “with just few exceptions [news reports have] followed an embarrassingly predictable and superficial script that imposes gender neutrality on a highly gendered phenomenon”, and the Uvalde coverage remained true to the patterns.(7) Research reveals that women are relatively invisible in news about war and state-based violence, being only 12% of the subjects and sources in the stories (8) despite common knowledge on the disproportionate impact of war on women (9). Only 2% of war reporting focuses centrally on women (10), yet, the evidence indicates sharp gender differences in experiences of war. (11) Four out of five news stories on gender-based violence either support or do nothing to clearly challenge gender stereotypes, and the probability that articles on femicide will highlight gender inequality is one in four (12).
Violent crime is perpetuated by the normalisation of violent masculinities and misogyny that remains unchallenged in gender-blind news journalism. Integrating a gender lens will change the public conversation and move societies one step forward towards real transformation.

Mastercard Chargeback Reason Code 4853: Credit Not Processed
Chargeback reason code 4853/Credit Not Processed applies to situations where customers claim they are owed a refund or other credit that has not appeared, but do not feel the issue being resolved by the merchant. In such circumstances, Mastercard may allow consumers to reverse a transaction by filing a chargeback.
To simplify this process, situations that may qualify for a chargeback are broken down into designated “reason codes.” Banks assign the appropriate code to each case so everyone knows the given reason for the chargeback.
We say the given reason because it may or may not reflect the true reason. Even if they suspect the cardholder is making an invalid claim, however, merchants must respond to the reason code presented by the bank.
The process is further complicated by the fact that each card network has its own set of reason codes. While most of the same scenarios are covered, the designations can vary considerably. Understanding which code is which can be challenging, so we’ve created guides to help merchants know how best to fight or prevent the different types of disputes.
With that in mind, let’s take a look at Chargeback Reason Code 4853: Credit Not Processed
Should Merchants Worry About Reason Code 4853 Chargebacks?
Chargeback questions? We have answers. Click to learn more.
What Is a 4853 Chargeback?
Chargeback reason code 4853 is used to designate some scenarios referred to as “Cardholder Disputes.” This refers to any dispute involving a transaction that the cardholder claims is incorrect in some way. This umbrella category can be applied to multiple specific situations, many of which had their own specific codes at one time.
Credit Not Processed chargebacks, for example, were at one time indicated by reason code 4860. Now, however, many of these causes have been bundled together under reason code 4853. So how does a merchant know what is specifically to blame for the chargeback?
When applicable, an additional message will be provided along with the reason code. Financial institutions refer to this as the Member Message Text. It tells the merchant which particular type of chargeback is the basis of the claim.
Not all reason codes will require this supplemental information, but many do. Knowing the type of chargeback helps merchants pinpoint the specific reason a cardholder dispute reason code was used. This information is crucial for disputing the chargeback and avoiding future claims of the same type.
Credit Not Processed Disputes: Causes and Conditions
A cardholder filing a claim under reason code 4853 is essentially stating that they have a receipt from either a voided transaction or a credit, but the transaction hasn’t been processed to their account yet. This could easily be the result of carelessness or innocent merchant error, such as:
• The merchant failed to process a credit or reversal.
• The merchant did not acknowledge the return or cancellation.
• The merchant issued the credit but did not deposit it in time for it to appear on the cardholder’s next statement.
• The merchant failed to fully explain the return/cancellation policy.
• The merchant processed a transaction that was canceled or voided.
Issuers have a limited timeframe to file chargebacks with a no-authorization reason code. Challenges must be processed within 120 calendar days of one of three start dates:
• The date on the credit documentation.
• The date of service cancellation.
• The date the order was returned.
In addition, the issuer must wait at least 15 calendar days before initiating a dispute, unless one of the following apply:
• The cardholder can show an improperly disclosed in-store credit or voided transaction receipt.
• The cardholder can provide a letter from the merchant advising the issuer to process a chargeback.
• Waiting will cause the chargeback to exceed 120 days.
Credit Not Processed Chargebacks and Friendly Fraud
Obviously, there’s a problem that needs to be addressed if a business regularly receives legitimate chargebacks for unprocessed credits. But while this type of chargeback can be the result of innocent merchant error, it will more likely be brought about by fraud. This might be intentional merchant fraud in some cases, which could be legitimate cause for a chargeback. However, it is much more likely to be friendly fraud.
As we noted earlier, the given reason for a chargeback may be completely different from the actual reason. In the case of a Credit Not Processed claim, a cardholder may be aware that a credit is on it’s way, but call the bank in an attempt to “double dip” by procuring refund from both the bank and the merchant. In most cases, however, it’s a simple misunderstanding; the cardholder may simply:
• Forget to return the goods in question.
• Forget to cancel the service (or waits too long to do so).
• Grow impatient and assumes fraudulent merchant actions before the credit is posted.
Whatever the true reason, claiming the business did not process the return is an easy excuse. Merchants with documentation to support their case have the right to challenge these invalid claims through the representment process, and should do so if this is the case.
Preventing Mastercard Reason Code 4853 Chargebacks
Because they are often the result of merchant error, chargebacks with a Credit Not Processed reason code are highly preventable by following basic best practices:
• For in-person transactions, the cancellation or return policy should be clearly displayed on the receipt, particularly if the merchant has a limited return policy. This should ideally be located near the customer signature line; however, the importance of this has waned with the rise of chip-and-pin and contactless payments.
• For eCommerce transactions, clearly display cancellation or return policies (linked to details) on the checkout page near the SUBMIT button. Require customers to acknowledge the policy (a mandatory “Accept” check box, for example) before accepting the order.
• Fulfill all valid refund or cancelation requests as quickly as possible so the credit will show on the cardholder’s next statement.
• The merchant should communicate to the customer that they’ve initiated the credit process. Keep them informed of any delays. Explain any reductions in credit amount (re-stocking fees, etc.) before processing.
• Be sure staff are trained on the proper way to handle credits.
Chargeback Prevention: A Wider View
While merchants can take many steps to help prevent legitimate claims, fraudulent chargebacks are another matter: friendly fraud is post-transactional in nature, meaning there’s no sure way to identify it beforehand. Merchants can do everything “right” yet still have a customer dispute filed against them.
So, while it’s generally more efficient to take a proactive stance when it comes to chargeback management, a truly effective strategy must encompass both prevention and disputing cases of friendly fraud.

Solid-Phase Extraction
• Page ID
Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)
Solid phase extraction1 (SPE) is a sample preparation technique using a solid adsorbent contained most commonly in a cartridge device (Figure 1), or on a disk to adsorb select species from solution. SPE is used to isolate a species in a sample or to clean-up a sample before analysis.
Figure 1. Photograph of an SPE cartridge (top).
As the sample is slowly passed through the SPE cartridge or disk, the analyte and some of the sample matrix compounds may be retained on the SPE material. Depending on the properties of the analyte and the SPE sorbent, a wash solvent can be chosen to selectively remove (elute) components from the SPE sorbent while retaining others. The ultimate goal is to remove interferents present in the matrix from the analyte, producing a solution containing primarily analyte. The following different scenarios can be utilized to achieve this goal.
1. Bind and elute strategy: The analyte(s) are retained and matrix components do not retain. The analyte subsequently is washed and eluted with a strong solvent. (Figure 2A)
2. Removal/trapping strategy: The analyte(s) are not retained and elutes, while the matrix components are retained. (Figure 2B)
The captured analyte elution solvent can be further reduced in volume to concentrate the analyte prior to analysis.
SPE is used to:
• simplify complex sample matrices
• purify compounds of interest
• reduce the ion suppression in mass spectrometry applications
• fractionate complex mixtures for analysis by classification
• concentrate analytes present at low levels.
Figure 2. SPE bind and elute strategy (A) where the analyte is selectively retained on the adsorbent, while interferents pass through (a-b). Next, the analyte is eluted (c); and removal/trapping strategy (B) where the analyte is not retained and elutes, while the interferents are retained on the sorbent.
How does SPE compare to liquid-liquid extraction?
Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) separates an analyte through partitioning between two immiscible solvents. LLE suffers from several disadvantages that can be overcome using SPE, including the need for expensive glassware (separatory funnels), the large and costly amount of organic solvents needed for separation, as well as the less than quantitative recoveries that can stem from low values of KP or incomplete phase separations. For a review of LLE, refer to Section 2 of this module.
The general steps involved in performing SPE are:
1. Pre-treat the sample (e.g. dilution, adjustment of pH)
2. Condition the cartridge (run water or solvent through it)
3. Load the sample
4. Elute the fractions
SPE methods start with a conditioning step (Step 2 above). This consists of rinsing the SPE cartridge with a solvent similar to the matrix of the sample you want to load. For an aqueous sample, we would choose an aqueous solvent such as water for conditioning. Once the cartridge has been conditioned, the sample is then loaded on the cartridge (Step 3; note Steps 3 and 4 can be viewed in Figure 3). The amount of sample loaded will vary depending on the purchased cartridge. The cartridges can be loaded on a vacuum manifold to apply a vacuum or centrifuged to speed up the separation process. This separation can also be done using gravity, but will take more time. Once the sample has been collected on the adsorbent, the cartridge can be rinsed with 100% H2O to remove un-retained compounds. More rinses can then be done with increasing percentages (ex.: 5%, 10%, 20%, 100%) of an organic solvent, such as isopropanol, to remove compounds in terms of decreasing polarity.
Q1. Explain the difference between liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction.
Figure 3 shows an SPE procedure on a grape Kool-Aid sample. In this example, a polar solvent is passed through a less polar adsorbent material. This is referred to as reversed-phase (RP) SPE. For this example, let’s say we are interested in determining the amount of red and blue dye in the sample. (Please note that the examples in this module involve separating dyes, as the separation can be easily visualized. However, SPE also can be used to extract and separate colorless species.)
Q2. List one or two species that you might find in the Kool-Aid matrix. Do you expect these species to be water soluble?
Q3. Consider Figure 3. In steps 1 and 2, grape Kool-Aid is passed through the cartridge, followed by water. Which species are retained on the adsorbent and which species are eluted with the water?
Figure 3. SPE of a grape Kool-aid sample. Looking left to right, the following are eluted through the cartridge: grape Kool-aid, 100% water, 95% water/5% isopropanol, 90% water/10% isopropanol, 80% water/20% isopropanol, and 100% isopropanol. (Photos are courtesy of Cynthia Larive.)
Q4. After the water is passed through the cartridge in Figure 3 (step 2), water/isopropanol mixtures with increasing amounts of isopropanol are passed through the cartridge. Is the polarity of the solvent increasing or decreasing?
If you said “decreasing” you are correct. This is termed making the solvent “stronger”, i.e. more like the adsorbent, which in this case is non-polar.
Q5. Consider the two scenarios at the beginning of this section for retaining and eluting analyte (dye molecules) and interferences. Which scenario is being used in Figure 3?
Types of SPE
In the Kool-Aid example, we used a SPE cartridge where the adsorbent was less polar than the solvent. We called this reversed phase SPE. The first step in using SPE is to select the correct type of adsorbent for the type of separation that is needed. The type of SPE sorbent is chosen based on the chemical properties of the species we wish to separate. It is important to have an understanding of the sample matrix, and the analytes of interest, when selecting the type of SPE. For example, if the analyte of interest is charged or ionizable, you would select an ion exchange cartridge, either anion or cation depending on the charge of your analyte.
The types of SPE fall into several categories including, reversed phase, normal phase, ion exchange (anion/cation), as well as mixed-mode phases, which have the properties of more than one type of SPE material. Figure 4 describes the properties of these phases.
Figure 4. Various types of SPE with details about their separation mechanisms.
Adsorption (reversed phase)
Reversed phase SPE techniques are optimal for analytes with moderate to low polarity, and separate analytes based on hydrophobicity with the most polar compounds eluting first. Because many analyses involve analytes dissolved in an aqueous sample (e.g. surface waters, wastewater, urine or plasma), SPE using reversed phase sorbents are commonly employed.
Figure 5. Red and blue dyes of Kool-Aid separated using reverse phase SPE.2
Let’s think back to the Kool-Aid example. Here we want to again separate the red and blue dyes that form the purple colored Kool-Aid solution. Figure 5 shows a cartoon similar to the process in Figure 3.
The process of separating the red and blue dyes within the purple Kool-Aid sample will start by loading an aliquot of sample onto a reversed phase cartridge that has been pre-conditioned with water. The first fraction collected will contain mostly water and compounds of high polarity and the dye will be retained in the adsorbent. Rinse steps with increasing concentrations of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) will be introduced to elute the red and blue dyes separately. Once the dyes have been collected, the IPA is increased to elute non-polar species within the sample.
Q6. Figure 5 depicts the separation of dyes within the Kool-Aid sample. The red dye appears to elute before the blue dye with only a small addition of IPA. Please explain why the red dye elutes first.
Adsorption (normal phase)
Normal phase SPE techniques are commonly used when the analyte of interest has low to high polarity, or is neutral.3 The cartridge contains a polar adsorbent, such as silica. This separation will be based on polarity, with the least polar components eluting first. The sample is usually in a non-aqueous matrix. For example, a researcher wishes to determine the concentration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in coffee samples. Many PAH are carcinogenic and can be introduced during the roasting process. The coffee beans are ground up, dissolved and the oily residue extracted into the organic solvent 1-pentane. This extraction sample contains the PAH but also potential interferents. Next, SPE is used to clean up the sample and/or concentrate the PAH. A “bind and elute” (Figure 2A) sample cleanup strategy is employed. A PAH, such as benzo(k)fluoranthene shown in Figure 6, is dissolved in the 1-pentane phase, but the pi-electrons can interact with the polar functional group (e.g. silica) on the solid phase. When the sample is loaded onto the SPE cartridge, the PAH are retained onto the stationary phase. Next, the solvent is changed and the PAH are eluted from the cartridge.
Q7. In order to elute the PAH from the cartridge, how would you alter the polarity of the solvent?
Figure 6. Chemical structure of the PAH benzo(k)fluoranthene.
Q8. A pesticide has been extracted from a soil sample. The pesticide is relatively non-polar and soluble in organic solvents. However, it contains a polar functional group. Describe a procedure to separate the pesticide from potential interferents (such as hydrocarbons) in the sample.
Q9. If we wanted to use SPE in the preparation of soda and tea samples, which type of adsorption would we use (Normal or Reversed phase) and why?
Ion Exchange (cation/anion)
Ion exchange SPE lets us separate compounds based on charge. Let us look back to the example of 4-aminophenol and acetaminophen (Section 1 on liquid-liquid extraction). Notice that the 4-aminophenol has an –NH2 group that will be positively charged at an acidic pH, while the acetaminophen will not. We would conclude that the best way to separate these two compounds would be by charge using ion exchange.
There are two types of ion exchange SPE, cation exchange and anion exchange. For this example, we would select cation exchange because the analyte we wish to retain is cationic (positively charged). This separation will be a basic 3-step approach to SPE (Figure 2A), starting with the first step of loading the sample onto the cartridge. The cation exchange cartridge will retain the positively charged 4-aminophenol by electrostatic interaction. The first wash step will elute the negatively charged and neutral species such as acetaminophen. To elute the 4-aminophenol that has been retained in the cartridge, a solvent with high ionic strength can be used. This will introduce a large amount of positively charged ions to compete for binding of the substrate, causing the 4-aminophenol to elute from the cartridge.
Q10. Given the example of cation exchange, can you explain a scenario where anion exchange SPE would be necessary?
Q11. Assuming you have two analytes of interest (refer to Figure 7), using ion exchange SPE, please explain how you could isolate the two analytes separately.
Figure 7. Process of eluting two analytes of interest separately.2
Mixed mode
In a perfect example of bind and elute SPE, only the analyte of interest would be retained while all interferents would be rinsed off leaving a pure, concentrated sample with little to no loss. Unfortunately, this scenario is unlikely with the use of a single SPE cartridge. Many times, conditions strong enough to remove impurities will also remove some analyte, reducing the recovery. Mixed-mode SPE can enhance analyte retention and/or reduce matrix impurity contamination.
Mixed-mode SPE combines the capabilities of ion-exchange and reversed-phase SPE for an enhanced separation. Examples of mixed-mode SPE include:
• Reversed-phase/strong cation-exchange
• Reversed-phase/strong anion-exchange
• Reversed-phase/weak cation-exchange
• Reversed-phase/weak anion-exchange
The ion-exchange component of the cartridge allows the appropriately charged compounds to be retained for further extraction. Once the appropriately charged compounds are retained, the SPE can be rinsed to remove any impurities. The pH of the eluent can then be adjusted to reduce the charge on the analyte molecules, which will release them from the ion-exchange component of the cartridge causing them to elute. The mixed-mode SPE system also offers a reverse-phase mechanism. This will allow you to change the organic concentration of the eluent to achieve improved selective elution.
Mixed-mode is commonly used in the separation of basic, acidic, and neutral compounds in a mixture. This is widely used in the concentration, purification, and analysis of pharmaceutical compounds and antibacterial agents found in wastewater.
Use the table below to answer the following questions about an SPE method.
The compound punicalagin (Figure 8), is present in pomegranate juice. Punicalagin analysis in pomegranate juice can be a method of quantifying how much pomegranate juice is in a juice blend. Note that punicalagin is colorless and it is anthocyanin compounds that give pomegranate juices their red color.

Q12. Consider the various SPE modes we discussed. Choose and defend your choice for the most appropriate methods to extract punicalagin from pomegranate juice. Suggest both an adsorbent material and eluents.

pluggy pins
The innovation behind PLUGGY Pins: A powerful platform
Clio Muse participated in the EU-funded project PLUGGY, which was successfully completed in 2019. Our innovation behind PLUGGY Pins with the title “Online web-based Creation and Access for cultural digital tours using geolocation information of cultural assets” was short-listed in the ‘Women-led Innovation’ prize category of this year’s Innovation Radar 2020 Prize of the European Commission. Here are the vision, the development and the goal of this project.
The Western world has entered an era that the boundaries between producers and consumers are getting blurred day by day. Social media serve as platforms that enable everyone to easily create and share information, opinions and educational material. Moreover, nowadays new forms of art such as visual arts or street art are considered as cultural as heritage. Citizen participation has become an ethical obligation and a political necessity. It revitalizes society, strengthens democracy and creates governance that can renew the conditions for “living together.”
PLUGGY developed a heritage-centric social platform that focuses on promoting local cultural heritage. It offers users the ability to create stories that include written and visual content and then transform them into experiences through state-of-the-art smartphones and web applications. Developed in a way that resembles the familiar social media platforms, PLUGGY allows users to share their stories while also giving them the opportunity to build upon the existing ones.
Clio Muse P.C focused on the development of a self-guided tour suite, which enables non-expert users to create and share their own geolocated tours giving access to a wide audience to experience the tour through the platform. The platform called, PLUGGY Pins, is addressed to anyone interested in cultural heritage. Travelers, students, bloggers, teachers, museum curators, historians and archaeologists have the opportunity to create and curate their own content, find valuable material and share their own stories.
Through the further development of PLUGGY Pins, culture creators and IT companies can seize this market opportunity. PLUGGY Pins enables local communities to create experiences of the global cultural heritage for a worldwide audience.

Last week I was in Singapore at the CSA OTCEP event. You notice the differences between Singapore and the US as soon as you step into the airport and go through customs.
There at least three major differences that apply to a government succeeding in managing a nation’s OT cyber risk:
1. The Singapore government is more streamlined and has more authority. It has a much easier time developing, requiring and enforcing OT cyber risk regulations. Advantage: Singapore
2. Singapore is a much smaller country with a limited, much less than the US, number of critical infrastructure companies in each sector. Regulators can sit in a conference room with all of the sector participants in most cases. Advantage: Singapore
3. Singapore is an island with limited natural resources. The size and resource rich US geography offers many resiliency and recovery opportunities and can support self reliance. Advantage: US
Note: the advantage describes the ease in which a government and industry can manage OT cyber risk in a sector. It is not a judgment on the overall system of government.
If you are responsible for managing OT cyber risk for a nation, you much prefer the Singapore model. They can decide and move forward, and the smaller size means you can know and work with all of the players.
Even with these advantages, it is far from easy. There is a tension between the ease of specification, compliance and audit of a regulation, and the regulations true value in managing OT cyber risk. The job of the regulated and regulator are much easier if regulation is a list of mandatory security controls. These reduce compliance risk, but many of the mandatory security controls will contribute little to likelihood reduction. And they are not touching the consequence side of the risk equation.
There is also the challenge for the regulator in leaving a “good practice” off of the mandatory security controls. Even if it does little to reduce risk, they will likely be called out by many security experts for its absence. These lists tend to grow over time with security controls added, but never deleted. It would be an interesting experiment to put a cap on the number of mandatory security controls and require a control be removed before another can be added.
The better approach is to have a risk-based regulatory approach. The regulated companies need to show that they are appropriately managing cyber risk that would affect the nation. (To paraphrase Rob Lee, companies can do what they want with business risk, but they should not be the decision makers on community risk).
While most agree a risk-based approach is preferred, it’s hard to specify and enforce. There is uncertainty in both the regulated and regulator. It can lead to greater variance in the judgment of the regulator. If you’ve seen a success story in this, please message me. In the meantime, we should watch and learn from these efforts going on around the world.
I believe we will not have a unified solution that will work across the diverse systems which include external forces such as government regulation, cultural factors, and expectations. But can the approach to arriving at the solution, a methodology, be consistent across this diversity?

DBC Account Creation, Pledge, Supernode Election Voting Tutorial

DBC Account Creation, Pledge, Supernode Election Voting Tutorial
How to get node pledge revenue in the wallet if you hold DBC tokens?
(If you don't like to read, you can watch this video below which is also very detailed.)
Link to the video:
I. Preliminary preparation
1. Have a working computer
2. DBC wallet backup phrase; if not, it does not matter, there will be a tutorial on how to create a new wallet in the mainnet;
3. Install Firefox (you must use Firefox, other browsers can not use the plug-ins we need later on, and Google Chrome requires special means to use these plug-ins, so you must install Firefox)
Firefox official download addressopen in new window:
Click the link and click download and then install it
1. Install the Polka JS wallet plug-in
Plugin download address: Polka's official plug-in download addressopen in new window
After entering the official download address, you can see this page:
Just click on the blue box to download and add it. The page will look like this when you are done adding:
The blue box turns white and the icon for this plugin appears in the upper right corner at the red arrow. At this point the plugin has been added.
II. Import (or create) DeepBrain Chain mainnet wallet
After the completion of the previous step, you can click the plugin icon to create a mainnet wallet.
*Note that the above backup phrase is very important, be sure to save them in a safe place and make backup, after documenting the backup phrase you can click 'Next Step' to set the password
Once you set the password you can go to the next step. Click on the plugin icon then you will see your DBC wallet address.
III. Officially entering the DeepBrain Chain mainnet pledge process, nominate the verifier node (supernode pledge)
Important Notes:
1. Here, supernode pledge is a way to get voting revenue that everyone can participate in, without any threshold, without hardware resources such as servers, you just need to hold a certain number of DBC tokens.
2. Here, we will introduce some of the problems that may be encountered in pledge mining and introduce some pledge techniques to get the highest return possible by pledging the same amount of DBC tokens.
1. Go to the mainnet address of DeepBrainChainopen in new window
After you click in, you can see your wallet address and the balance in your wallet.
Then click on the ‘pledge’ option on the network and you will see the supernodes info list
There are 21 supernodes in the very first quarter,and 10 nodes will be added every quarter, with a total of 41 nodes currently. (https://dbc.subscan.io/validatoropen in new window)
The next step is to give you an analysis of the status of the 41 supernodes.
(Note: Supernodes are elected every 24 hours, there are no permanent supernodes, whether you can be elected as a supernode is based on the ranking of the total pledge volume on this supernode, the top 41 will be automatically selected as supernodes, no operation needed)
On the supernode page we can see that the 41 nodes with the largest total amount pledged by themselves plus the total amount pledged by others will be elected as Supernodes, but there are other nodes that want to participate in the election, but since the round is over or that their pledged amount is ranked after 41, these nodes will appear on this page:
By clicking on 'Target', we can see all the supernodes participating in the election, and then we will analyze the data of these supernodes to decide which supernodes we will vote for to maximize our benefits as much as possible while ensuring that we gain benefits every day.
After seeing all supernodes, we need to analyze the below data:
'return': refers to the profit you can get if you pledge on that node ,according to the DBC in your account. If you click in and find that the return is not shown, you can click return and it will be automatically sorted from largest to smallest.
Total equity: refers to the total number of DBC of the node itself plus the total amount of DBC of the nominee who pledged on said node, the top 41 are elected, and whether you can be elected as a supernode only depends on this data.
Commission: The DBC network will send equal amount of DBC to these supernodes every day, but the supernodes need servers to help the network to verify the blocks, all supernodes can set their own commission percentage themselves, the higher the commission percentage, the more the supernode can get, then the user who pledges on said supernode will get less, because the total number is set.
In order for you to understand the pledge model in layman's terms, here is an easy-to-understand example:
DBC mainnet will prepare 41 pieces of cake for users every day, but how to share these cakes to ensure it's fair and convincing? DBC will set countless group leader quotas, that is, supernodes, but the cake is only 41 pieces, all these group leaders are running in the election, how can you guarantee that you will be elected? It all comes down to the total number of votes in your hands, that is, the number of DBC this supernode can pledge by themself and the number of DBCs pledged on said node by others, as long as the total amount ranks in the top 41. What needs to be done is for these supernodes to go to the major communities to pull votes or hold a large amount of DBC to ensure the number of votes, in order to guarantee that in the next round they can be ranked in the first 41 to get this piece of cake.
There is another problem, the cake is there, but how to share the cake? I gave this supernode vote(s) now how do I calculate the specific benefits I will get?
First of all, the DBC mainnet will give this piece of cake to the supernode, that is, every day the supernode will get 6,772 (calculated according to 41 nodes) or so DBC, now the data on the target page can help us to filter the supernodes better.
The formula for calculating the earned cake (DBC) = (total amount of cake _ (1 - commission) _ (the percentage of your own DBC in the total equity of the node))
Tips: Supernodes earn their income in two ways, the first is the commission percentage you set * the weight of the cake (DBC) earned +
Total cake _ (1 - commission) _ (the proportion of the supernode's DBC to the node's total equity))
To explain the formula, the first thing to look at is the number below the commission, the percentage is set up by the supernode itself. For example, if you set it up as 0%, that means once the supernode itself got the cake, it will not get itself any extra DBC rewards, it will share with the ones that pledged on it, and then according to their DBC holdings positions, the higher the position the more you get.
But truthfully no nodes will set their ratio at 0%. The bigger the ratio is set, the more the supernode will get as extra and then share the rest with its pledgers. If the ratio is set to 100%, that means the supernode will not give a bite of the cake to the pledger, you can ignore such node(s), because by pledging on such node(s) you will not get any revenue.
But it's not that the lower the ratio the better, otherwise there will not be so many other screening conditions.
So the cause and effect is that the total amount of equity in this node accounted for by this commission and your position determines your earnings, which is the size of the RETURN.
Note: When you are pledging in accordance with the RETURN ranking after choosing the first 21 in the relatively high RETURN ratio, and then look for some reliable nodes, why should you choose a reliable node? The reason is that some nodes you see might have set their commission ratio very low, or even set to 0, so that their return will naturally be higher, to attract pledgers to vote, but when such node is elected as a supernode, they are able to change their commission ratio, that is, to improve the DBC earnings they get, so others get a lot less naturally. So we need to find some reliable nodes, so that although we get a smaller income compared to choosing another node, this may ensure that our income is very stable. This requires us to join some official voting community to really get in touch with such supernodes candidates to ensure that the supernodes we vote for are reliable.
Another factor that needs to be considered is the condition of the supernode's machine.
After clicking on these curve icons we can see some penalties and rewards. If the image often has some points of a sudden fall, it means that this supernode is often punished, once a node is punished it means that your earnings today will be much less.
After the analysis of these nominees we will then proceed to the specific operation.
Do not pledge the entire amount when setting up the binding amount, leave one DBC out for the transfer online.
Keep clicking next to go to this page to enter your password to finish
After the nomination is completed, you can see the waiting information of the supernode you nominated in this list. If the pledged supernode can be elected in the next round of election, you can get the corresponding reward.

Video Of Super 'Stealthy' Dog Trying To Sneak Fries Is Going Crazy Viral
It really doesn't take long to make an impression. Although worrying about this too much can only have the effect of making every first meeting uncomfortable, it is true that it's easier to form our first impressions than it is to change them.
So when they sync up nicely with who someone really is, that means we're blessed with a fast friend.
And when that someone is a dog who stole the internet's heart in one five-second video, that means everybody is his fast friend.
Ross and Anna Paget of Edinburgh Scotland happened to be out at a local pub called the Safari Lounge.
Twitter | @_PAGET
They were there to enjoy some dinner, which included a very tempting bowl of fries. However, they weren't there alone.
Also in attendance was Rab, their three-year-old Labrador and Cocker Spaniel mix.
Twitter | @_PAGET
Not only does Ross consider Rab "the best dog going," but he's also the reason the couple decided to film their food that evening.
That's because he would swoop in and try his hardest to be subtle as he stole their fries.
Twitter | @_PAGET
Although he gets points for his speedy and silent technique, he didn't quite have as much cover in his covert operation as he thought.
Although he may not be as stealthy as he thinks he is, Rab is definitely doing something right.
Twitter | @_PAGET
After all, the Twitter video of his sneaky raid has now been seen over 4.5 million times. And if that number sounds surprising, Ross would probably agree with you.
Ross obviously found this clip funny enough to post, but he's not sure how it became so popular.
Twitter | @_PAGET
As The Irish News reported, he said, "We found it hilarious at the time, so filmed him in the act. We shared it with family and friends and it soon after went viral."
Although part of the answer is that we'll watch a cute dog do anything, it seems that people were also impressed by Rab's technique.
Rather than jam his face into the bowl and grab a bunch of fries like most dogs (and, let's face it, some humans), Rab carefully took the fries one at a time so it would be less noticeable.
However, while Ross may not understand the clip's popularity, it came at a good time.
As he shared on Twitter, he's raising money for Alzheimer's research by participating in the London Marathon. So this clip proved a good opportunity to get some exposure for his cause.
There also doesn't seem to be any danger of Rab letting his newfound fame go to his head.
As Ross said, "He is such a character and he shows that in the clip. He is totally oblivious to how popular he is."
Others were inspired by Ross and Anna's video, and decided to share their own videos of sneaky bois.
Rab isn't the only one who wants to share dinner with their owner!
Rab's little mischievous munching has gotten him so much attention, he even has his own Instagram page.
Instagram | @rabthelabx
It's already garnered 800+ followers in less than a week. Obviously his sneaky ways have made him an internet sensation. You can follow him here.

Infrastructure security in Amazon WorkSpaces - Amazon WorkSpaces
Infrastructure security in Amazon WorkSpaces
As a managed service, Amazon WorkSpaces is protected by the AWS global network security procedures that are described in the Amazon Web Services: Overview of Security Processes whitepaper.
You use AWS published API calls to access WorkSpaces through the network. Clients must support Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.0 or later. We recommend TLS 1.2 or later. Clients must also support cipher suites with perfect forward secrecy (PFS) such as Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (DHE) or Elliptic Curve Ephemeral Diffie-Hellman (ECDHE). Most modern systems such as Java 7 and later support these modes.
Additionally, requests must be signed using an access key ID and a secret access key that is associated with an IAM principal. Or you can use the AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) to generate temporary security credentials to sign requests.
Network isolation
A virtual private cloud (VPC) is a virtual network in your own logically isolated area in the AWS Cloud. You can deploy your WorkSpaces in a private subnet in your VPC. For more information, see Configure a VPC for WorkSpaces.
To allow traffic only from specific address ranges (for example, from your corporate network), update the security group for your VPC or use an IP access control group.
You can restrict WorkSpace access to trusted devices with valid certificates. For more information, see Restrict WorkSpaces access to trusted devices.
Isolation on physical hosts
Different WorkSpaces on the same physical host are isolated from each other through the hypervisor. It is as though they are on separate physical hosts. When a WorkSpace is deleted, the memory allocated to it is scrubbed (set to zero) by the hypervisor before it is allocated to a new WorkSpace.
Authorization of corporate users
With WorkSpaces, directories are managed through the AWS Directory Service. You can create a standalone, managed directory for users. Or you can integrate with your existing Active Directory environment so that your users can use their current credentials to obtain seamless access to corporate resources. For more information, see Manage directories for WorkSpaces.
To further control access to your WorkSpaces, use multi-factor authentication. For more information, see How to Enable Multi-Factor Authentication for AWS Services.
Make Amazon WorkSpaces API requests through a VPC interface endpoint
You can connect directly to Amazon WorkSpaces API endpoints through an interface endpoint in your virtual private cloud (VPC) instead of connecting over the internet. When you use a VPC interface endpoint, communication between your VPC and the Amazon WorkSpaces API endpoint is conducted entirely and securely within the AWS network.
This feature can be used only for connecting to WorkSpaces API endpoints. To connect to WorkSpaces using the WorkSpaces clients, internet connectivity is required, as described in IP address and port requirements for WorkSpaces.
The Amazon WorkSpaces API endpoints support Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) interface endpoints that are powered by AWS PrivateLink. Each VPC endpoint is represented by one or more network interfaces (also known as elastic network interfaces, or ENIs) with private IP addresses in your VPC subnets.
The VPC interface endpoint connects your VPC directly to the Amazon WorkSpaces API endpoint without an internet gateway, NAT device, VPN connection, or AWS Direct Connect connection. The instances in your VPC don't need public IP addresses to communicate with the Amazon WorkSpaces API endpoint.
You can create an interface endpoint to connect to Amazon WorkSpaces with either the AWS Management Console or AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) commands. For instructions, see Creating an Interface Endpoint.
After you have created a VPC endpoint, you can use the following example CLI commands that use the endpoint-url parameter to specify interface endpoints to the Amazon WorkSpaces API endpoint:
aws workspaces copy-workspace-image --endpoint-url aws workspaces delete-workspace-image --endpoint-url aws workspaces describe-workspace-bundles --endpoint-url \ --endpoint-name Endpoint_Name \ --body "Endpoint_Body" \ --content-type "Content_Type" \ Output_File
If you enable private DNS hostnames for your VPC endpoint, you don't need to specify the endpoint URL. The Amazon WorkSpaces API DNS hostname that the CLI and Amazon WorkSpaces SDK use by default ( resolves to your VPC endpoint.
The Amazon WorkSpaces API endpoint supports VPC endpoints in all AWS Regions where both Amazon VPC and Amazon WorkSpaces are available. Amazon WorkSpaces supports making calls to all of its public APIs inside your VPC.
To learn more about AWS PrivateLink, see the AWS PrivateLink documentation. For the price of VPC endpoints, see VPC Pricing. To learn more about VPC and endpoints, see Amazon VPC.
To see a list of Amazon WorkSpaces API endpoints by Region, see WorkSpaces API Endpoints.
Amazon WorkSpaces API endpoints with AWS PrivateLink are not supported for Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Amazon WorkSpaces API endpoints.
You can create a policy for Amazon VPC endpoints for Amazon WorkSpaces to specify the following:
• The principal that can perform actions.
• The actions that can be performed.
• The resources on which actions can be performed.
For more information, see Controlling Access to Services with VPC Endpoints in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
VPC endpoint policies aren't supported for Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) Amazon WorkSpaces endpoints.
The following example VPC endpoint policy specifies that all users who have access to the VPC interface endpoint are allowed to invoke the Amazon WorkSpaces hosted endpoint named ws-f9abcdefg.
{ "Statement": [ { "Action": "workspaces:*", "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": "arn:aws:workspaces:us-west-2:1234567891011:workspace/ws-f9abcdefg", "Principal": "*" } ] }
In this example, the following actions are denied:
• Invoking Amazon WorkSpaces hosted endpoints other than ws-f9abcdefg.
• Performing an action on any resource besides the one specified (WorkSpace ID: ws-f9abcdefg).
In this example, users can still take other Amazon WorkSpaces API actions from outside the VPC. To restrict API calls to those from within the VPC, see Identity and access management for WorkSpaces for information about using identity-based policies to control access to Amazon WorkSpaces API endpoints.
To call the Amazon WorkSpaces API through your VPC, you have to connect from an instance that is inside the VPC, or connect your private network to your VPC by using AWS Virtual Private Network (AWS VPN) or AWS Direct Connect. For information, see VPN Connections in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide. For information about AWS Direct Connect, see Creating a Connection in the AWS Direct Connect User Guide.

How it works
To view your energy consumption online through the engage portal you will need:
1. An energy sensor that measures the energy being consumed in your home. This picks up the consumption data from your fuse box or meter.
2. A transmitter attached to the sensor sends the energy information wirelessly to the engage hub. Your energy information is stored on our servers. We follow high security standards, respecting your privacy and confidentiality.
3. The engage hub receives the information sent from the transmitter and pushes it instantly to your engage account via your internet router. To enable the information to be sent to the internet, you will also require a broadband connection.
4. A PC, Mac, smartphone or tablet, to allow you to view the information in real-time.

Using GraphQL with Django
Before we dive into using GraphQL with Django, let us briefly introduce both these technologies. Django is a Python-based web framework that can be used to create websites or web applications rapidly. GraphQL is a query language for API’s and server-side runtime that allow us to retrieve or alter data from the server, much like REST or SOAP. GraphQL has a strongly typed schema.
The main advantage of GraphQL over REST is that there in GraphQL there can only be a single endpoint for the API to fetch different requests instead of making different endpoints for those requesting a different REST type service. Also, another major advantage is flexibility in the data structure of the API, only the required data can be fetched, instead of the rigid structure of the REST API where there can be over fetching or under fetching (n+1 problem). Due to these features, the integration of frontend to the backend is much easier and faster using GraphQL compared to REST.
I’ll not be discussing the whole schema of GraphQL in this blog, but you can learn more about it here. Now let us look at Graphene. It is a library that is used to implement GraphQL API in Python much like Apollo or Ariadne.
Let us install graphene using pip in a Django project. I’d recommend creating a virtual environment first.
pip3 install graphene_django
Now create a project of your choice, eg - startproject todo .
Start the app and make migrations - startapp todo
cd ..
python3 migrate
Create your models in the model directory. Let us create a simple ToDo model-
class Todo(models.Model):
user = models.ForeignKey(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
title = models.CharField(max_length=500)
done = models.BooleanField(default=False)
created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
Add Graphene library and todo app in to your
Configure the URL in the file.
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from rest_framework import routers
from graphene_django.views import GraphQLView
from import views
from example.schema import schema
router = routers.DefaultRouter()
router.register(r’todos’, views.TodoViewSet)
urlpatterns = [
path(‘graphql/’, GraphQLView.as_view(graphiql=True, schema=schema)),
Create a new file called In the add the graphene schema -
import graphene
from todo.graphql.queries import AllTodosQuery
from todo.graphql.mutations import CreateTodoMutation
class RootQuery(AllTodosQuery, graphene.ObjectType):
class RootMutation(graphene.ObjectType):
create_todo = CreateTodoMutation.Field()
schema = graphene.Schema(query=RootQuery, mutation=RootMutation)
Create a graphql folder that will have 3 files-, and In we will add the types for our schema -
from graphene_django.types import DjangoObjectType
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from todo.models import Todo
class TodoType(DjangoObjectType):
class Meta:
model = Todo
class UserType(DjangoObjectType):
class Meta:
model = User
only_fields = [‘id’, ‘first_name’, ‘lastname’, ‘username’]
When using GraphQL there is only a single endpoint called GraphQL. Types specify which Django model we need to use in the API. Queries are used to retrieve the data like a GET Request. Mutations are used to POST or Update the data.
In the define our mutations -
import graphene
from todo.models import Todo
from todo.graphql.types import TodoType
class CreateTodoMutation(graphene.Mutation):
todo = graphene.Field(TodoType)
class Arguments:
title = graphene.String()
done = graphene.Boolean()
def mutate(cls, root, info, title, done, *args, **kwargs):
user = info.context.user
todo = Todo.objects.create(user=user, title=title, done=done)
return CreateTodoMutation(todo=todo)
And finally in the, define the queries . We will use this retrieve all the data from the server.-
import graphene
from todo.graphql.types import TodoType
from todo.models import Todo
class AllTodosQuery(graphene.ObjectType):
all_todos = graphene.List(TodoType, done=graphene.Boolean())
def resolve_all_todos(self, info, done=None, *args, **kwarg):
todos = Todo.objects.all()
if done is not None:
return todos
Run the Django server and create some data on the server. Use Postman to retrieve the data on the endpoint /graphql/ -
allTodos {
This will fetch the data from the server. For creating a data use mutations-
mutation {
createTodo(title:” Good”, done: true) {
todo {
Hence we saw how we can easily fetch or create data using graphene in a Django project.

Azerbaijan Carpet Museum
Azerbaijani applied arts, especially carpet weaving, occupy a special place in the history of its national culture.
The most widespread folk art is carpet weaving. It made its way into the everyday life of the people of Azerbaijan and turned into a symbol for the nation. Because of their high aesthetic value, fleecy and pileless carpets, decorated with various patterns and signs, are used to decorate the walls and floors of marquees, huts, homes, nomads' tents, and other buildings.
The Azerbaijan Carpet Museum is the treasury of Azerbaijan national culture. Established for researching, keeping and displaying carpets and carpet items, as well as applied art works, the Museum has the largest collection of Azerbaijani carpets in the world, of different weaving techniques and materials.
The Museum was set up in 1967, and the first exhibition was opened in 1972. Its collection numbers more than 10, 000 objects, including ceramics, jewelry from the Bronze Age, and metal works, including some from the 14th century. Additionally, there are carpets and carpet items of the 17th-20th cc., gold and silver adornments, national garments and embroidery, and applied art works of the modern period.

The races saw big crowds gather around the racecourse in the Olympiapark to watch the races, most athletes commented on how they had never experienced something like it. Leo Bergere who competes at world class level, winner of the Elite men’s race in Munich, said: “This is the first time I have competed with such a crowd. It felt like Alpe D’Huez during the Tour De France!”.
The president of Europe Triathlon, Renato Bertrandi, said: “Wow. It has been a fantastic week.
All our Triathlon family finally had the possibility to meet, after our President Conference, face to face in Munich. In the frame of the “European Championships” that includes Athletics, Cycling, Gymnastic, Rowing, Beach Volleyball, Climbing and Table Tennis, we had the possibility to have the Europe Triathlon Board, the yearly Congress and 3 great days of races.
The crowd that was attending our events has been much over our expectations: the official number of the first day at the women’s race was 100.000 spectators at the Park and the following days even more. On Sunday morning, before the MTR, we were also able to stage the AG event: 1.200 Age Groupers, coming from all over Europe crossed the finish line at the Olympic Park delivering a unique emotion to our amateur Athletes. We have been able to reach new people with our Sport and we will greatly benefit from this visibility. I am sure that the TV audience, as it was broadcast live in almost all Countries in Europe, will smash any previous number.
I want to thank all the NFs attending and in particular the ones that has sent the best Elite Athletes and Age Groupers. This is the support we need from you to keep Triathlon in the future into the European Championships”.
Missed the Elite women’s action, watch the highlights:
The elite women’s race on Friday was far from predictable, with plenty of action to entertain all the amazing spectators scattered around the Olympia park and those watching from home.
The swim part of the race saw Sophie Alden from Great Britain come out first in 19 min and 20 sec, with a group of 5 closeby. A group managed to breakaway on the bike with most of the favorites in it, including home favorite Laura Lindemann. The chasers worked hard and tried to collaborate throughout all the bike sections of the race to close the gap. By the time they arrived in the second transition, the first group had a small gap on the second pack, with athletes putting their shoes on ready for the demanding run course. As expected, the 30m elevation gain at each lap proved decisive in determining who would end up at the front. Big crowds cheered as athletes pushed through in the heat as they climbed to then descend to the finish line. On the third lap of the run Non Stanford from Great Britain made a decisive move to breakaway from the front pack of 3 just as they neared the top of the hill, with German Lindemann and Lombardi from France struggling to keep up with the pace. The British athlete who recently competed for Wales at the Commonwealth Games, ended up reaching the finish line first to take the gold medal and become the new European Champion. The battle behind was fought all the way to the line, with Laura Lindemann using the home crowd’s support to her advantage and taking silver. Emma Lombardi from France finished in 3rd position.
Non Stanford after the race said: “I can’t believe how many people came out here to watch the race! I surprised myself out there today, I came here with no expectations after competing in the Commonwealth games recently. I’ve been pretty tired so I haven’t done much training, but I guess that means I was fresh! Delighted to come away with the gold”.
Missed the Elite men’s action, watch the highlights:
The men’s race on Saturday was action packed, with the athletes pushing each other until the last kilometers on the run.
The athletes dove off the pontoon in the water at 16:00, fighting to get in position in the first part of the swim to not get left behind at the first buoy. A group of triathletes managed to put in a small gap between them and the swim pack behind already at the end of the first lap. As they exited the water to get their bikes, the gap had grown to be bigger than that of the women’s race on Friday. Collaboration during the cycling part of the race meant that the leaders managed to grow and hold their gap to 55 seconds. The front group of roughly 10 athletes included pre race favorite athletes such as Leo Bergere, Dorian Conninx and Pierre Le Corre from France, together with Hungarian athlete Csongor Lehmann.
As they got off their bikes the leaders immediately set a high pace to narrow down the fight for the medals. The chasers, including Jelle Geens from Belgium and Braclay Izzard from Great Britain, also hungry for the front of the action, also set off at a blistering pace to try and make up as many positions as possible. Half way through the run, the French and Hungarian were left fighting for the top spots. Bergere made a decisive move to drop the others and only Pierre Le Corre could respond and accelerate. Behind, fighting for bronze, were left Conninx and Lehmann. The Hungarian managed to grow a gap but was then caught and passed by the third of the French athletes. The finish line saw a French 1-2-3, with the order not changing from the attack of Bergere.
The Age Group race saw 1200 athletes from all over Europe meet in the Olympiapark to compete in the 2022 European Championships. After a welcome event and lunch on Friday, they set off early on Sunday morning in waves based on their Age Group. Although it was early, the crowds weren’t missing, with plenty of people cheering all over the racecourse. The sun rose as athletes raced to get to the finish line in their target time. 35 nations were represented and the first Kosovo Triathlete in history also got the chance to cross the finish line at these European Triathlon Championships: well done!
After the races, totalling all the medals won in the Age Group races, Germany emerged as the winning nation. Great Britain came second with an impressive 25 medals and Belgium third.
Missed the Mixed Relay action, watch the highlights:
The Mixed Team Relay on Sunday did not disappoint. After an initial leg that saw Portugal get a penalty but lead at the front alongside Switzerland and France, Emma Lombardi from the French team broke away to get a decisive lead over the chasers. The fast and furious course saw Germany use the home crowd advantage to battle ahead and join the battle for second and third place. They had the better of the Swiss team at the finish line, with Laura Lindemann running her way to second place. France took the win in commanding fashing and Switzerland came third.
We would like to thank everyone who watched online or had the opportunity to be at the venue to cheer for athletes of all ages from all over Europe. It was a weekend of racing we are sure won’t be forgotten for a long time

Teaching centers should take more of a leadership role on campuses (opinion)
With the onset of the pandemic in March 2020, colleges and universities looked to teaching centers and faculty development specialists to help transition pedagogy so that learning could continue in a manner that made sense given the challenges of a pandemic. Before that, teaching centers were considered beneficial to faculty members, and many had their share of “frequent fliers” who attended all the events.
But in reality, they really did not have an impact on a large percentage of faculty at the institution. Faculty members often viewed the teaching center on their campus as just an add-on that would help if they needed it, or worse, as a place where bad instructors went when they needed help.
All that changed when faculty members had to quickly and efficiently adapt their pedagogy to the new world of teaching remotely or asynchronously. At many institutions, including our university, the teaching center—along with many other units and individuals on the campus that support teaching and learning—worked with faculty across the institution to ensure that courses continued to be taught and students continued to learn. It was a time of “we are going to get through this somehow,” and teaching centers provided the opportunity for faculty members to still deliver content and assess learning in a way that made sense throughout the crisis situation we were in.
As the pandemic has continued to be a factor and we have learned to adapt and mitigate risk, the role of the teaching center has again shifted. But that shift is toward a new reality in which a number of things have become readily apparent.
• Faculty and institutions need to be ready to adapt to changing conditions very quickly, including being prepared to pivot once again should we encounter new challenges.
• Teaching centers can help faculty members create courses that can be adapted to operate under different conditions. A great deal of research shows how faculty can pivot, adapt and still deliver high-quality teaching and learning
• Students will, for many years, be prepared to adapt to changing conditions as well.
• Many of the pedagogical innovations that we developed during the early days of the pandemic worked terribly, like providing students with more independent work without support. At the same time, some worked very well, such as giving students a clearer understanding of the reasons behind the methods being used in the classroom.
• Teaching will never be the same. It will continue to evolve and improve as long as we keep student learning as our goal.
With the changes described above, teaching centers have become even more important on college campuses, as we sit, in fact, at the center of the pedagogical world of the institution. And the time to capitalize on that position at the university is now. Teaching centers should work hard, today more than ever, to help faculty members understand that we actually do know a lot about teaching and learning. And to be an effective instructor, recognizing what we know about how students learn and the variables that impact learning, we need to consider ways of teaching that are novel to us. Yet technology, while trumpeted as the answer, is only a part of the solution.
Now is the time for teaching centers to take a leadership role in the institution and help faculty understand that teaching and learning are distinctly relational processes. And to do that well, we need to know that the unidirectional aspect of teaching is not going to be as effective as teaching that values and leverages student learning in ways that make sense with the data that are coming out of the science of learning.
How can centers do this?
Centers can host a series of conversations with faculty about pedagogy. If open to the conversations, faculty would benefit from carefully considering how they navigate the classroom and beyond. To help faculty members, centers should talk about pedagogy in general, with an emphasis on student engagement. Faculty could learn about the evidence that demonstrates that there are many ways to engage students, and to do so within the framework of their discipline leads to the potential for more student engagement and more effective learning.
Topics for the conversations could include evidence-supported teaching practices (i.e., use of active learning to promote student engagement), or teaching strategies that make use of what we know about student learning (i.e., to learn effectively, students need to have the ability to utilize prior knowledge to incorporate newly learned material). By getting faculty members to begin to realize that we in teaching centers have an understanding of how students learn and how classrooms can be designed to be more effective, we can then help faculty begin to address specifically how to engage students to improve their learning.
Centers can provide specific teaching strategies to faculty—with data to support their efficacy if necessary—to help faculty guide students efficiently and effectively. Those strategies might include workshops on evidence-supported practices such as:
• Retrieval practice: the idea that the more times a student has to reactivate and recall information under different conditions, the better the student can recall under test conditions.
• Interleaving: teaching material, switching to newer material and then returning to the original content. Data demonstrate that reactivating the previously learned material can lead to stronger memory and learning over all.
• Desirable difficulties: providing students with scaffolded problems that can lead to potential failure. Evidence has shown that by creating a situation in which work is required to solve a problem, even if the response is incorrect, the work done leads to more effective learning.
These three strategies have been shown to be incredibly useful for many faculty and lead to more effective memory (retrieval practice), integration (interleaving) and problem solving (desirable difficulties). They are just a few of the specific strategies that would help faculty eventually help students.
Centers can communicate their work and contributions more widely and effectively across the campus. Many centers use newsletters or weekly email blasts as a means of communication. It is important to provide useful and actionable information in those newsletters. Faculty members are so inundated with newsletters and emails that we need to make sure that our messages are also concise, clear and worth reading.
Centers can also help by having open-door policies with faculty to ensure that they are approachable and available. Faculty will undoubtedly need the center at various times, under various conditions. With that in mind, the center should also have multiple access points for contact that include not only the email address for the center, but also perhaps the center director’s email address. It should offer a phone number that is answered by an actual person and a variety of staff members that are around and provide service, so the center looks like—and is—a place where things happen.
Centers can act as liaisons. They can connect students and faculty in ways that help faculty understand student needs and perspectives. Those efforts can take the form of conversations between students and faculty to better understand the others’ perspectives. They can also act as liaisons between faculty and administrators to help those administrators understand what faculty need to be effective instructors.
Centers can partner with colleagues on the campus to provide support for student learning. Those colleagues might include counseling centers, academic support centers, academic advisers and student leaders. For example, centers can co-sponsor events with counseling centers that address issues of mental health on the campus or can lead conversations with new faculty about academic advising. Centers have, traditionally, been the place for only faculty members to talk about teaching. Now is the time for that mission to expand.
The time for teaching centers to shine is now. Center directors’ training has always served a small number of faculty on many campuses. We need to step that up now and broaden our approach to include many more stakeholders. Centers must consider that the main goal of a college or university is to educate students, and that our job is to support that goal. Yet as we have learned so keenly in the last two years, educating a student is not just something that happens in the classroom in a unidirectional manner. We have learned that good teaching and learning require engagement, effort and flexibility. Centers of teaching and learning specialize in understanding how to help students engage effortfully and how faculty can create flexible and effective learning environments. We need to leverage that knowledge across campus by increasing our visibility, and working across different offices is one of the keys to starting that process.
As I have noted, a transparent set of conversations between faculty members and both students and administrators helps guide a deeper understanding of the needs of the institution when it comes to supporting student learning. Teaching and learning on college campuses will undoubtedly improve under these conditions. And along with that, we will continue to provide the kind of education that our students deserve and that our faculty are able to give.
The future of higher education is uncertain, and the challenges we face are enormous. If we continue to focus on the core mission of most institutions, we can continue to thrive and provide the education our students need to succeed. By creating a teaching and learning center that is truly at the core of the mission of the institution, we will help faculty provide the kind of education that will serve our students in both the short and long term.

Best Food For Guppy Fish – How To Feed Your Guppies?
Guppies are popular aquarium pets because they are active and typically colorful. Feeding them is simple, but it’s a good idea to understand your guppies’ needs so you don’t overfeed them. Even adults will be healthier if you complement their fish flakes with more nutritious food. Guppy young require a specific diet, which is easily found at a fish store, and even adults will be healthier if you supplement their fish flakes with more nutritious food.
Poor nutrition, on the other hand, is one thing that might cause problems for your guppies. Giving your guppies a diversified diet of veggies in addition to their usual fish food is the best way to keep them happy and healthy.
Best Food For Guppy Fish
This Guppy Feeding Guide explains when to feed your guppies, what to give them, and how to feed them. Your guppies will appreciate the work you put in to ensure they were getting the appropriate quantity at the right time.
How Often To Feed Guppies?
The age of your guppies will decide how often you feed them. Younger guppies require more food to develop quickly. Adult guppies require less food because they are no longer growing. Adult guppies should be fed once or twice a day. If you feed them more, you may overfeed them and make them sick. Guppy Fry can be fed three to five times each day. Because they are little and cannot take a lot of food, you should provide them with smaller portions at each meal.
How Long Can Guppies Go Without food?
Adult guppies may go for up to 10 days without eating. This should not be done on a regular basis since they would starve. They will not be harmed if they skip a day or two every now and then. So, if you’re planning on going away for the weekend, make sure they’re properly fed before you go. Guppy Fry, on the other hand, can only go without nourishment for a few days. They are developing and require more nourishment at a faster rate than grownups. A young guppy can only live for three days without being fed.
How Much Should You Feed Your Guppies?
There is no precise formula for determining how much to feed your guppy. Guppies have a bad name for being scroungers. Unless they’ve just eaten, they’ll attempt to consume everything you feed them. Read the directions on your guppy food to figure out how much to feed your guppy. Put that quantity in the tank and keep an eye on your guppies. If they finish it in under two minutes without becoming bloated, the portion size was probably enough. You may need to give them a bit of additional food if they devour it all in under a minute. If they don’t finish the dish, you should serve them less the following time. If they finish all of the food and seem bloated, you’ve fed them too much.
How Much Should You Feed Your Guppies
Once you’ve figured out how much to feed your guppies, stick to it as much as possible. If you have newborn guppies in the tank, it’s usually best to feed them a bit less rather than a little too much.
Best Food For Guppies
What To Feed Guppies?
Because poor-quality food lacks all of the nutrients required for your fish’s optimal growth and development, it may limit its life span and raise the chances of it having health problems.
1. Invest in Flake Food Designed for Tropical Fish
Flake food may be purchased at a pet store or a fish shop as a basic, daily meal supply. While guppies will consume any flake food, the best brands are those that have both protein and vegetable materials. Natural color enhancers are commonly included in tropical fish flake food, making your guppies seem brighter and more colorful. Fish food in the shape of pellets is difficult or impossible for guppies to ingest because of their tiny lips.
If you buy more flake food than you’ll use in a month, you may freeze the rest to keep the nutrients. A few days before you need a refill, thaw another month’s supply.
Give the guppies a pinch of flake food once or twice a day, preferably in the morning and at night, with a 12-hour gap between the two feedings. Drop a few flakes into the water and watch the guppies devour them. They should be able to eat the food in around 30–60 seconds, and no more than a few minutes. You can feed them once or twice a day, as long as you give them adequate amounts. Feeding guppies too much food is easy, but feeding them too little is challenging. Even if they are not hungry, guppies will continue to eat or look for food. If your fish appear to be hungry, do not offer them more food. Guppies that actively seek food will, in reality, prevent food debris from accumulating and contaminating your water.
2. Substitute More Healthy Delights for the Occasional Flake Food Meal
While guppies may thrive on flake food alone, live or frozen plants and animals provide additional nutrients that can be used to augment a flake food diet. Every 2–7 days, replace one flake food meal with no more treats than the guppies can consume in 60 seconds. Any of the following are suitable treats, and the majority of them can be obtained in fish markets:
If your flake meal is strong in vegetable content but poor in protein, baby brine shrimp are an excellent addition (40 percent or less). They come in three different forms: live, frozen, and flake.
Blood worms and mosquito larvae are tasty delights that you may capture yourself by sifting through standing water with a net. To prevent mosquitoes from hatching, collect limited numbers of larvae at a time. Earthworms can also be fed to the guppies, but they must be shredded and cleaned beforehand.
If your guppies’ flake diet is heavy in protein but lacking in vegetables, feed them shucked peas, shredded lettuce, or finely chopped cucumber.
What Not To Feed Guppies?
1. Tubifex Worms and Live Daphnia Should Be Avoided
Other varieties of fish food are available, and fish store personnel or other guppy owners may suggest them. Even if they are advised, tubifex worms and daphnia should be avoided. Tubifex worms can occasionally contain fatal germs, which guppies can happily devour. Live daphnia will only hurt the tank if it consumes too much oxygen, but they are often more expensive and harder to produce than other live meals.
2. Keep an Eye out for Indicators of Overeating
Overfeeding is typical in guppies since they have such small stomachs yet nevertheless eat big amounts of food if it is available. Reduce the number of meals you feed them or the frequency with which you give them treats if you observe any of the following indicators. For their health, some guppy owners only feed their fish six days a week, leaving them hungry on the seventh.
Overeating can cause a plugged gut, as seen by waste tubes trailing behind the fish.
If they eat too much fat, adult male guppies acquire a “potbelly” or a protruding chest. Reduce the amount of food you eat and substitute fat-free ham crumbs for fatty delights like blood worms or beef hearts.
Excess food or garbage might be the reason your tank water becomes hazy and muddy on a regular basis. In general, you should replace 20–30 percent of the water in your tank every 1–2 weeks, or more regularly if your tank is overcrowded.
How To Feed Guppies When on Vacation?
If you’re going on a vacation that will last more than a week, think about how you’ll feed your guppies. Adult guppies can withstand a week without food before showing signs of malnutrition, so if you’re only going to be gone for a few days, skip feeding them.
One of the following strategies is advised for a lengthy trip. Dispense food at regular intervals using an automated feed dispenser. Make sure you have enough food to last the duration of your trip, then program the dispenser to discharge food once or twice a day.
How To Feed Guppies When on Vacation
Before departing, test a feeder block or gel feeder. These dry or gel-covered meal blocks are left in the tank and slowly consumed. The dry blocks, on the other hand, may produce harmful chemical alterations, whilst the gel blocks are commonly overlooked. Before departing, test both varieties for a few days to ensure there are no issues.
Once every two or three days, have a friend or neighbor serve them their regular flake food. Because unskilled feeders frequently provide too much food, it’s better to put each pinch of food in a pillbox or other container labeled with the day of the week. Make it clear to the caretaker that overfeeding your guppies might result in their death.
What To Feed Guppies When Out of Food?
You can simply manufacture your own guppy food. If you have rice on hand, you’ll be fine for a day or two until you can obtain additional guppy food. Make sure the rice is plain, not seasoned. In the worst-case scenario, you can skip feeding your adult guppies for a few days.
Adult Guppies: How Often To Feed Adult Guppies?
On how much to feed adult guppies, there are many diverse viewpoints. Some people recommend feeding them simply once a day, while others recommend feeding them twice or three times a day. The reality is that the more food you give your guppies, the more likely they are to suffer health issues.
Adult guppies should only be fed once a day or every other day, according to my recommendations. This does not imply that if your guppies have gone two days without food, you should give them twice as much on the third day.
You will be overfeeding your fish if you do this. If you’ve been feeding your adult guppies twice a day for a while and they haven’t developed any health concerns, keep doing so. When feeding your adult guppies, it’s critical to use high-quality food. A high-quality diet will provide your fish with all of the nutrients they require for maximum development and health.
Do Male Guppies Eat More Than Female Guppies?
Female guppies are often bigger than male guppies. This implies they consume more, but this shouldn’t be an issue if you’re feeding your fish the proper quantities.
If you suspect your fish is eating too much or too little, there are certain warning signals to look for. It’s conceivable that your fish is eating more than he requires if he’s becoming fat. If your fish appears to be underweight, it may be time to supplement his diet.
What To Feed Baby Guppies?
As soon as the newborn guppies are born, you should begin feeding them. It’s simple to feed infant guppies since they eat everything that floats by. If you don’t remove the uneaten fish flakes from the tank after feeding them, they will consume them. You may start by feeding your guppies newly hatched brine shrimp, but after they become a bit bigger, you should move to high-quality flake food.
What To Feed Baby Guppies
Feed your young guppies 3-4 times per day until they are approximately a month old, then lower the number of times per day to 2-3 times per day and repeat until they are 3 months old. After 3 months, you can cut back on the amount of food you give your adult guppies to once every other or third day (depending on how much they are eating). When your guppies are about a month old, you may begin feeding them newly born brine shrimp or similar high-quality guppie food (the same quality as you would feed to your adult guppies).
Spirulina algae flakes can also be fed to them. Spirulina algae flakes are an excellent diet for your newborn guppies since they provide high nourishment without filling their bellies and causing them to gain weight. Overfeeding your infant guppies is never a good idea. Overfeeding can lead to swim bladder difficulties in your newborn fish, which can be lethal. It’s crucial to feed them the proper quantity of food because if they consume too much, they’ll swim on top of the water and be more prone to have swim bladder problems. They will not develop correctly and will not grow into healthy adult fish if they do not consume enough. Here are some other things that you can feed your guppy as well:
1. Fish Food Made at Home
Recipes for homemade fish food may be found on the internet. You might be able to get one at your local pet store as well. Make certain you’re looking for Guppy Food recipes, as various fish require different types of food. Guppies as adults require a decent balance of protein and veggies in their diet. Guppy Fries require a high-protein diet that includes a variety of veggies.
2. Small Shrimp
Fresh, frozen, and dried shrimp are all options for your guppies to consume. Fresh live shrimp must be consumed within a specified time frame. Brine shrimp are a popular choice, and they can be purchased whole or as eggs.
3. Worms of a Small Size
Fresh, frozen, or dried little worms or baby worms are available. They’re wonderful for your guppy’s diet. Live worms are simple to maintain and give to your fish. It’s crucial to defrost any frozen food before giving it to your fish, whether it’s worms, shrimp, or insects.
4. Larvae of Mosquitoes
Guppies eat mosquito larvae as a live food source in the wild. People don’t want to risk hunting mosquitos, thus they’re hard to come by. Some pet retailers, however, sell dry and frozen versions.
5. Insects
Insect-based fish food is widely accessible at pet stores. You may also feed your fish a variety of live insects. Remember that live insects must be fed in order for them to survive long enough to feed your Guppies. Guppies enjoy insect larvae, therefore gathering insects from your own garden may be the best option. Your guppies can be fed ants. If you’re going to give them ants, be sure they’re not harmful. If you want to buy your insects, most pet stores sell live worms, crickets, and flies. If live bugs aren’t an option, frozen or dried bugs can be purchased.
Is It Possible to Overfeed Guppy Fry?
Guppy Fry, as well as Guppy adults, can be overfed. If your guppies appear fat, they’ve been fed too much. A white material dangling from your guppies is another indicator of overfeeding. Overeating guppies might get bloated. If they continue to overeat, they may develop serious digestive difficulties, which can lead to infections, disease, and even death. You can detect whether your guppies are overeating or being overfed in several ways. Overfed guppies that can’t stop eating will end up having a lot of food floating about in their tanks. This food will begin to degrade, posing a threat to the water’s purity. When food decomposes, ammonia is produced, which can be harmful to your fish.
Is It Possible to Overfeed Guppy Fry
Overeating guppies seem bloated or have white material hanging from their body. They may not be leaving food in the tank, but they are consuming an excessive amount of it.
What Should You Do If Your Guppy Is Overfed?
If your guppy has eaten too much, the best thing to do is not feed them for the rest of the day. This will help them regain control of their digestion. Give them another day without food if they are still bloated after a day. Cleaning out the water and the tank is another crucial step. You may feed them again once you’ve cleaned up the tank and given them a break from eating. Make sure you’re not overfeeding them. If two minutes of food is too much for them, simply give them one minute of food.
What Do Guppies Eat? Homemade Guppy Food
1. Guppies Fish Getting Vegetables
To keep healthy and happy, guppies, like all other fish, require a source of fiber in their diet. Fresh vegetables, as well as dry flakes or pellets manufactured expressly for fiber enrichment, can provide this fiber to guppies (often called vegetable flakes or vegetable pellets).
If you want to use pellets, be sure they have additional vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamin E, as these vitamins will be lost if the pellets are not stored correctly after opening. You may use goldfish chow as a source of vegetable food for your guppies because goldfish consume veggies as well.
When feeding vegetables to your guppies, remove any uneaten vegetables from the tank after roughly an hour or so, since decaying vegetables will cause your water quality to rapidly deteriorate if left in the tank too long.
Vegetables, as previously indicated, are a fantastic source of vitamins and fiber for your guppies. Cucumber, for example, is abundant in B vitamins and vitamin C. Cucumber may be fed to your guppies by cutting it into little pieces with a knife or by using an aquarium veggie clip. The nicest part about feeding vegetables to guppies is that you can serve them to your entire family.
2. What Are The Advantages Of Feeding Live Food To Guppies?
If you wish to feed live food, there are several advantages to doing so. Guppies who need more nutrients in their diet should take live food, which is generally richer in protein than other forms of fish food.
You also don’t have to worry about your fish refusing to eat live food because it’s still alive when he does. If you have finicky eaters in your tank, this is an excellent option. Most fish will gladly consume live food, so you may continue to feed them even if they are picky. However, there are significant drawbacks to using live food. Guppies enjoy eating their food quickly, which can be risky when dealing with live food. If you’re using live feeders, ensure sure they’re not receiving too much food or eating too quickly. You don’t want them to become constipated or overeat to the point of bloating.
Furthermore, live food can be difficult for guppies to digest, and if they don’t have anything else in their diet, it can create major difficulties. However, if your guppies are used to eating live food, this shouldn’t be an issue for the majority of them.
3. What Are The Advantages Of Feeding Pellets To Guppies?
Pellets also have a number of advantages. They’re simple and affordable, making it easier on your wallet, and they’re simple to store, making them simpler for you.
The biggest advantage of pellets over other forms of feeder fish feeds is that they include all of the nutrition that a guppy needs in one little packet. They’re easy to digest and packed with all the nutrients your fish needs to stay happy and healthy.
Pellets, on the other hand, have a few drawbacks. They can be difficult to come by at certain pet stores, so you may have to acquire them online. They’re also lower in protein than other forms of food, so you might need to supplement them if your fish needs extra nutrients in its diet.
4. What Are The Advantages Of Feeding Blood worms To Guppies?
Blood worms, like pellets and live food, offer several advantages. They’re high in protein and cheap to boot! They’re also simple to store and travel, making things easier for you, which is always a bonus!
Blood worms, on the other hand, are a little more difficult for guppies to digest than pellets or frozen shrimp, so keep that in mind when deciding what sort of diet is ideal for your fish.
Blood worms may not be the ideal choice for your guppies if they have digestive or constipation problems.
What kinds of Human Foods Should You Avoid Giving Your Guppies?
You should avoid feeding some human meals to your guppies.
1. Foods That Have Been Processed
Guppies should not be fed processed meals such as pretzels or cereals. These meals are high in sugar and salt, which are bad for guppies (and humans!)
2. Which is Better: Beef or Chicken?
This is based on my own experience; I have never seen or heard of someone feeding their guppies steak or chicken. As a result, you should usually avoid giving these foods to your guppies. Alternatively, if you wish to feed beef or chicken, start with a little amount. After you’ve seen how it goes, you may decide whether or not to feed more. You may also feed your guppies high-quality brine shrimp and tubifex worms to meet their protein (non-veg) requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Feed Vegetables to Guppies?
Guppies are omnivores who will eat both meat and veggies. Guppies require both protein and veggies, therefore do not just give your guppy vegetables. Follow these simple procedures to prepare your vegetables for your guppy:
• Prepare the veggies by blanching them.
• Make a paste out of the veggies.
• If you want to produce a mixture, you may add cooked chicken or cooked egg.
• On a baking sheet, spread the paste out on parchment paper.
• Bake at 250 degrees Fahrenheit (120 degrees Celsius) until completely dry.
• Allow your dry paste to cool.
• Make little flakes out of the dry paste.
• Store in a cool, dry place or freeze.
What Can I Give My Guppies in Terms of Vegetables?
You may give your guppies a wide variety of veggies.
• Broccoli
• Cabbage
• Carrots
• Cauliflower
• Corn
• Cucumber
• Green beans
• Kale
• Peas
• Potato
• Spinach

Is it Okay If I Give My Guppies Fruit?
Yes, you may give your guppies fruit. Cook, mix, and bake the fruit into meal flakes the same way you did the veggies. Small uncooked, raw chunks can also be fed to your guppies. Fresh fruit should be given to children no more than twice a week. Guppies may consume the following fruits:
• Apples
• Bananas
• Grapes * in small amounts
• Tomatoes
• Watermelon * in small amounts
There is a disadvantage to giving fruit to your guppies. Fruits contain fructose, a sugar. In the fish tank, this sugar might encourage germs to proliferate. Fresh fruit should only be fed to your guppies immediately before you plan to clean their tank. The sugars won’t linger and make your guppies ill this way.
Is Rice Safe for Guppies?
Guppies can eat rice, yes. Rice, on the other hand, is devoid of nutrition for guppies. They’ll be able to survive on it, but they won’t obtain all of the nutrients they require. It’s acceptable if you feed them a small amount of rice or a small number of your own fish flakes.
Is There Anything My Guppies Shouldn’t Eat?
In general, human foods that have been excessively processed are not ideal for your guppies. It is not a good idea to feed them bread or canned food.
The Bottom Line On Best Food For Guppy Fish
Many folks are unsure how much food to offer their guppies on a daily basis. Feeding your guppies two times a day with around 1/8th of their body weight each time is a good rule of thumb.
If you have a big community tank with multiple guppies, you’ll need to cut back on the amount of food you offer them to ensure that everyone gets a fair portion! Overfeeding your guppies can cause major health concerns including constipation and bloat.
You also don’t want them to get hungry, as this can significantly reduce their lifetime! When it comes to feeding your guppies, aim for a middle ground. Please leave a comment below if you have any questions about guppy feeding, and I’ll be pleased to answer them.

Regional and community banks are partnering with broker-dealers to bolster their in-house wealth management services and offset slowing revenue streams in other areas of the business.
That can mean competition for advisors as client aim to consolidate the number of financial institutions with which they work.
According to a report by Kehrer-Bielan Research and Consulting, a consulting firm focused on the bank and credit union channel, such institutions increased their investment services revenue by 17% in 2021.
“We are seeing a real convergence of banking and investing,” said Jill Zucker, senior partner for wealth and asset management at McKinsey. “Institutions that concern both sides of the balance sheet have become increasingly the preference for clients.”
Zucker said that the convergence has largely been driven by investor demand for a “one-stop shop” of banking, wealth management and financial planning support.
She cited a McKinsey poll of more than 10,000 affluent households that indicated the percentage of individuals saying they want to be advised by a single institution increased to 22% in 2021, from 13% in 2018.
Smaller retail banks must also compete with large, national outfits like Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo, that have large built-in brokerages and aggressively market wealth services to consumer bank customers. To address client demand, and competition, regional and local banks have been been driven to third-party brokers for technology and products.
“Roughly 50% of clients believe their primary wealth manager should improve their digital capability,” Zucker said. “And I think for some of the smaller banks, it's hard to match the investments of some of the larger institutions that have the scale to really invest in their digital platform.”
Ken Kehrer, partner at Kehrer-Bielan, said community and regional banks are turning to third-party brokers so that they can focus on reaching clients.
“Some banks have decided that what they’re really good at in the wealth management space is marketing, and [they’ll] rely on the broker-dealer to provide the advisors, manage them and provide the technology,” he said.
“A small bank would never have access to the technology that they could get by working with one of these large, large broker dealers. And advisors sitting in a branch in a rural area of the country could have the same tools that an LPL or Ameriprise advisor has,” he added.
Smaller banks have been driven to develop wealth management services as traditional streams of revenue dry up, he added.
“A lot of banks decided to drop overdraft fees, a significant source of revenue for banks, by far the largest component of their fee income,” he said. “One way to recover that loss is via the income from wealth management.”
What are brokers saying?
LPL has 35% of the total $2.3 trillion client assets processed by third-party brokers for regional and community financial institutions in the Kehrer-Bielan survey.
But some brokers’ market capitalization has been more specialized: Cetera is also strong among banks, while Cuna, which was acquired by LPL this year, tends to focus more on supporting credit unions.
Ken Hullings, LPL’s senior vice president of business development, said outsourcing to a third-party broker allows banks to focus on their traditional financial services and be a first point of contact.
“If it's not their core business, it's not going to get the investment that's needed to make it parity or parity plus, then you lose your main differentiator,” he said. When banks link with the broker-dealer, he says, they can focus on their core business—loans and deposits.
But transitioning to a broker can be a lengthy process for banks, particularly if they have spent resources to develop their own brokerage infrastructure.
“It's not an easy decision to make,” Matthew Audette, CFO of LPL, said at a Morgan Stanley conference in June. “They have internal departments and structures and investments that they've put in place, and they're walking away from a large part of that to come to us. So the dialogue is usually very deep, very long, very thoughtful.”
Wealth managers at regional and community banks are typically a direct employee of the bank, but registered with the outside broker. It's what Raymond James refers to as a "dual employee structure, said Tim Killgoar, senior vice president and head of the financial institutions division.
“We find that having the advisor truly as a team member within the bank or the credit union makes the internal partnerships just work more seamlessly. They're sitting on the same side of the table with the other bank employees, creating a holistic experience for the bank customers, as opposed to an external person coming in with a completely different business card.”
Jay McAnelly, group vice president at Ameriprise, said demand for outsourcing to third-party brokers has also been driven by wave of mergers among smaller banks.
“When you look at the regional and community bank population over the last 20 years, it's consolidated dramatically,” he said. “There was always a lower percentage of smaller community banks that offered wealth management. A lot of that might have been due to location or just due to the resources or the size of the institution. But today, now with that consolidation, these institutions are larger.”
Raymond James’ Killgoar agreed, saying outsourcing the brokerage arm allows small banks to remain competitive and keep their role within the communities they serve.
“Whether it's a defensive maneuver to remain independent, or a way to sort of continue to grow assets and get bigger and more robust, it's an important rationale to remain relevant in their marketplace,” he said.

How to Plan Content Strategy for Global Markets
Any credible content creator can tell you that there are strategies that apply during the creation of content for global markets.
In other words, not any global marketing content brings a positive impact on an internationalized business. For this reason, you must explore all you need to know about strategizing your content for global markets. Let’s begin.
Defining the Global Content Marketing
The global marketing content aims to spread information about products and services to various target global regions. Such content requires customization depending on the prevailing factors that govern the target market.
Notably, the global marketing content does not follow a standard format or nature. So, it does not have a one-size-fits-all nature. Different business entities appeal to the global audience differently. This situation gets complicated when an entity wants to appeal to its diverse global audience.
Any internationalized company must apply diverse engagement strategies to appeal to its global audience. Sometimes, this move requires a company to engage different specialized teams, regardless of whether they will be in-house or external parties.
It is notable that using similar brand messaging and content globally cannot result in similar conversion rates and feedback. The different global audience reacts differently to any message or content that every internationalized company disseminates.
Some factors that give rise to the audience reaction differences are means of information consumption, unique needs, and terminology of the published content.
Strategies for Planning Content for Global Markets
You now understand that global marketing content should not be standard. So, what strategies can you apply to reap maximum benefits from your global marketing content?
Identify Your Audience Plus Their Locality
This strategy appears popular, but its fame is because of a specific reason. Notably, executing a global marketing strategy without a target audience is impossible. If you do so, how tell whether it will be successful? Such a move equates to publishing your content randomly and hoping that someone will see it.
To execute a successful marketing strategy, you must know your target audience comprehensively. This move encompasses understanding the holidays, current affairs, politics, and terminology the audience uses in daily communication. You should also identify what makes your country different from your target global location.
Importantly, knowing your audience calls for understanding its basic and even the smallest aspects. Such aspects may seem minor, but their oversight can have a significant detrimental effect on your international business.
To understand how your international audience can feel when you surprise them with marketing content, think about any marketing campaign that you found irrelevant, with misused language, and probably from a foreign company:
• Did you look at it twice?
• Did you buy its highlighted products and services?
• Did you feel ambushed?
• Did you ignore it because the company did not take the time to know what you wanted?
If you have answered “no” to the first two questions and “yes” to the last two questions, you have a feel of the international audience towards marketing content without its social values.
The success of the global marketing continent calls for you to form diverse marketing teams. Also, the team members of each team should have location-appropriate skills to align the content with the social values of the target audience. This is the point where translation and localization expertise comes in handy.
If you can generate regionally-appropriate marketing content, you can have a positive sales impact in every global region that will consume your marketing content. However, it all begins with your marketing team members being regionally adept.
Employ Cultural Competence
If you thought that global marketing entails timely dissemination of marketing content across different time zones, you are wrong.
An effective global marketing activity engages people from different cultural backgrounds. Such people have different behaviors, values, beliefs, outlooks, sensitivities, and educational backgrounds. Also, most of the said cultural aspects differ from your cultural aspects in many ways.
Notably, researching the different cultural backgrounds of your global target audiences is a complex task. However, it is worth all the effort you can put into the exercise. The resultant positive business impact that you can get from this exercise outwits the hustle you underwent during the exercise.
Why is researching your international audience important? Sometimes, what you deem proper or acceptable is taboo to some international audience members. Also, what you consider a joke is offensive to some international audiences. So, always employ an internationally local perspective whenever creating your global marketing content.
Connect With Local, Recognizable, and Relatable Figures
Local influencers, celebrities, and bloggers are some of the local people who can significantly contribute to your global marketing content’s success. Notably, these people have a huge number of local followers that trust their recommendations and suggestions. If those famous people can endorse your products and services, that can be a positive turnaround for your international sales.
The local popular people can also help you shape your marketing content to match the taste and preferences of your target international audience. Remember, such people also offer content creation services that employ creativity in what they do. So, you can engage them to create marketing content that is superior to what the locals frequently hear.
However, collaborating with popular local figures can make or break your international business. So, always research a popular figure before engaging them to handle your marketing content.
Identify an Appropriate Channel
Identifying an appropriate channel to host your global marketing content is also one of the most viable strategies for your global content. Notably, some global regions do not permit some online platforms to operate from within. If you plan to market your global content using a platform allowable in some regions but disallowable in others, you cannot achieve optimal results.
Some online platforms are more popular in some global regions but irrelevant in others. For this reason, you must identify the popular online platforms in every global region on your marketing target list.
Importantly, identifying the most appropriate channel to host your global marketing can help you avoid investing in a short-lived channel. Always select an online channel that will operate in your target global region for an unforeseeable future.
Take Advantage of Paid Social Media Campaigns
The organic engagement has a significant positive long-term impact on your international business. However, its effectiveness can take quite a long time to materialize. In such an instance, what other alternative can you adopt? The paid social media campaigns are your answer.
The paid social media campaigns come in handy when you are new to an international market. It is also an effective marketing tool when your target a specific audience in your marketing activities.
How can you get the best results from paid social media campaigns? The answer lies in using their ad campaign tools. Notably, using free social media to drive your marketing campaigns is very tempting. However, the free platform options are no longer effective.
One of the advantages of using paid social media campaigns is that you have control over what you will spend on your marketing campaigns. Also, this option enables you to control your conversion rates. Lastly, this option allows you to control your demographic targeting. If we can list the benefits that emanate from the use of paid social media campaigns, the list can be endless.
Use Specialized Tools
Quality is king in every content strategy. For this reason, always use specialized tools that produce and host high-quality global marketing content. If you can get tools with varied content formats, you can diversify your editorial calendar. Also, you can cut the costs related to the creation every time you want to run a global marketing campaign.
The best-specialized tools should integrate with other online platforms. This aspect can facilitate a seamless sharing of marketing content between different channels. If your tool is rigid, you will incur costs whenever you want to use each different channel to host your marketing content.
Define Local and Global Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
Using metrics is a sure way of mapping and improving a content strategy. However, the local and global KPIs are not similar. Their difference arises because the interpretation of different markets should be different.
If you successfully employ a content strategy in a global region, always use lead conversion rate as your KPI. On the other hand, investing in a new market calls for using website visits as a KPI. These are some KPIs you can use to assess the success rate of your content strategy.
Otherwise, the list of the KPIs and their determining factors to use when assessing the impact of a global content strategy is quite long.
The Bottom Line
According to Contentech, a language service provider (LSP), creating content strategies for your global markets is the key to the expansion of your local approach and benefits to your international audience. Also, the strategies are a requirement even when using strong channels with international access.
Now that you know how to plan your content strategy for your global markets, it is time to review what you have done and need to do. Have a happy globalization of your business!

Home Dead by Daylight Forums Feedback Feedback and Suggestions
Brightness setting please...
I am sick and tired of either losing survivors in a chase as killer, or accidently running into a corner/dead end as a survivor because of how dark the game is. Basically, I play on console, and there is no way to increase the brightness of the game. The blinds in my house are always open, and it is very bright in the room I'm playing in. Because of that, I can barely see ######### on my t.v because of how dark the game naturally is. Every other game literally has a brightness setting because of situations like these, but dbd doesn't. Why? Is it really that hard?

1. Thats exactly what I wanted, proof of two different people to unrestrict so if this works then my problem is solved.
2. I don't believe that's a good enough reason to restrict trading with people that are different people because we know each other. How am I supposed to show friends and be like yeah sorry we can't trade/battle/help because it's bannable. It is what it is.
3. So in the game rules you can't trade with people in your network and what not. I have a few questions. 1. We are friends and we go to school (yes I saw what it said on schools) if they were to go home would we be okay to trade or what not? 2. I have also a brother I have gotten into the game but we live in the same house and go to the same school would we be good to trade? 3. Is there anyway to remove this restriction between people in our network if we had like evidence that we were friends to a higher up?

Rest: a needlework chart for any craft
This month, the random number generator chose rest, suggested by Alisa on Patreon.
I usually develop a complicated knitting stitch pattern for each word, but I also like to provide a basic chart for any craft that’s worked on a grid: beads, cross stitch, whatever. I also try to provide an image of the pattern repeated all over not as a chart. I use a bunch of filters and things to try to make it look interesting while retaining the encoded layout. It doesn’t necessarily look like a finished object for any particular craft, but I just want to give a sense of it.

A Warhammer Horror Story
Follow in the footsteps of Rudgard Howe, an enforcer cadet who, while on their first mission, and embroiled in an embittered succession battle back home, uncovers a heinous sanguinary cult...
In the grim darkness of the far future, horror lies in the most unlikely of places, as a routine investigation becomes something all the more sinister.
On the captital world of Potence, young enforcer cadet Rudgard Howe is caught up in a bitter internecine feud to inherit his father's position of Chief Enforcer. As the tithe fleets approach, he is sent on his first mission to ensure that the planet's distant agri-facilities fulfil their quotas to the God-Emperor. Farmed with serfs and managed by ex-Militarum soldiers, the agri-facilities are places of shocking brutality and hopelessness. But when he is sent to the outlying farmstead of Thorsarbour, Rudgard discovers a community where the crops are left to rot as the inhabitants indulge in the bloody ecstasy of a sanguinary cult. As Rudgard imposes the strict Lex Imperialis upon the farmstead, he begins to uncover a place where sanity is rapidly slipping. Just a single step into his nightmarish mission though, a series of cruel deaths threatens to dismantle everything he has ever known about the Imperium, his faith in the Emperor, and the strength of his very soul.

How to compost in an apartment? Turning food scraps into treasure. Have you ever tried it?
green unripe apple with silver peeler
Composting your kitchen waste is literally making new soil. It is one of the most humble and eco-friendly things we can do to minimise our impact on the environment. We have the power to take our food waste and turn it into a rich in nutrients and goodness fertiliser. Moreover, in the UK, many local councils collect household food waste as recycling from the curbside to turn it into energy.
When the waste is recycled using a method called “anaerobic digestion” (the food waste goes into a container without oxygen where it gets broken down by micro-organisms), our food scraps produce biogas, which is collected and used to generate electricity. Composting, therefore, can be more significant than we think!
According to WRAP, as much as 70% of the food we throw away in the UK (post-farm gate) comes from our homes and ends up in landfills where it produces methane. Methane is an invisible gas which traps heat and aids in the greenhouse effect, accelerating climate change. Methane is 25 times more damaging than carbon dioxide.
By composting, we participate in the natural flow of life, which is recycling vital nutrients back into our soil and also helps in the production of green energy.
The energy created by recycling just 1 banana peel by anaerobic digestion can fully charge a smartphone twice!
Food waste recycling benefits
Food can be recycled either by using anaerobic digestion or composting. Anaerobic digestion, according to the website, is:
“Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a biological process similar to composting, but without air. As in composting, micro-organisms break down organic matter into simpler smaller compounds and reduce its bulk or “mass”. However, unlike composting, which overall always consumes energy, anaerobic digestion can be used to create energy. That is because it produces a gas known as biogas which is taken out to create renewable energy. The valuable nutrients are recycled back into the soil.”
When your local council recycles your food scraps, it does this using the anaerobic digestion process. With this process, they put the food waste in an airtight container where it breaks down by micro-organisms to create biogas for electricity AND a fertiliser by-product that biogas digesters provide.
The second method for food waste recycling is composting:
What goes into the food bin/caddy that my local council collects for recycling?
• Meat and fish – raw and cooked, including bones
• All shells from shellfish, nuts and eggs
• All dairy products such as eggs and cheese
• Raw and cooked vegetables and fruit
• Bread, cake and pastries
• Rice, pasta and beans
• Leftover, mouldy or expired food
• Tea bags and tea and coffee grounds
• Newspaper to wrap your food
• Compostable liners
The list above may differ slightly for your area; therefore, it is always best to check the guidelines published on your local council’s website.
How to compost in a flat if local food waste recycling is not available to you
Composting is one of the most sustainable things we can do to help return all those useful nutrients that went into our food in the first place back to nature.
You will need:
• A composting bin/container (this can be either a bucket or a more sophisticated device that can be bought online). Even better if you can have two bins, one for the finished compost and the other to start the new one.
• A water mister to keep the compost moist
• A small outside space/balcony to place your container
Stick to the “what goes in the food bin” guidelines above, and fill your bin with a ratio of 50% food waste (greens) and 50% with items like leaves, garden soil, grass cuttings, newspapers, or paper bags (browns). Turning the new compost often and spraying it with water to add moisture is essential. Once your compost looks like soil and smells earthy, it will be ready to transfer to your house plants or pass it on to friends, neighbours, or given to your local allotment/green space.
People have long used compost to enrich the soil in their gardens and fields. Today, composting is especially useful for managing the growing waste streams generated by UK households. Nothing goes to waste in nature. Everything that dies becomes food for something else. Have you ever tried to compost? Do you have a food waste recycling service at home?

Clickjacking is a type of attack where the attacker sets up a page so that a user's click on the page performs a different action than the one the user intends. It gets it's name because the attacker has "hijacked a click".
There are many techniques that can be used to trick the user. Most of them involve the hacker being able to add HTML, CSS, or JavaScript to a web page. Cross-Site Scripting is the primary way this is accomplished. Often, the hijacking code will be added within an iframe, so that it stays separate from the page code, in an attempt to avoid detection.
The simplest version is to put an invisible link over a regular link. Imagine a web page with an embedded video. The user clicks on the video's "play" button. But the click does not start the video, it never gets to the video player. Instead the user has just clicked on a hidden link on a transparent overlay over the page. Most of the time the user will not even know they have triggered the link because it targets a hidden iframe. The results of the linked page will be hidden from view. The user will simply think the link didn't work on the first click.
The link could trigger many actions. Some common ones are:
• Voting for an online poll
• Playing video content to increase views
• Showing an advertisement (ad revenue)
• Following someone on social media
• Sharing or liking on social media
• Enabling a web cam or microphone
• Viewing an imitation HTML page
• Downloading malware
• Disabling security settings
Cursorjacking is a variation on clickjacking. Instead of "intercepting" a click, the attacker alters the cursor's actual location from the location the user perceives. For example, a click might register 100 pixels to the left of where the cursor appears to be.
As an example of how this could be useful, imagine a dialog box that pops up with a choice for the user to make: "Enable web cam" and "Cancel". A user thinks the cursor is over "Cancel" and clicks, but the click registers on the "Enable web cam" button.
Clickjacking Preventions
The best defense if to put good Cross-Site Scripting protections in place. XSS is the primary way an attacker can modify a page.
Another prevention to add is to disallow the frames and iframes that help attackers hide code and the results of their manipulation. There are two easy ways to do that.
1. Define a Content Security Policy and set the frame-ancestors directive to disallow loading frame and iframe content on the page. If a page must use frames, then whitelist the sources for the frame content.
2. Configure the webserver (or your application code) to set the response header for "X-Frame-Options" to "Deny" or at least "SameOrigin".
In addition, users can take precautions of their own. They can install browser plugins, such as NoScript, which disable or reveal unexpected JavaScript.

Today is a day for patience and observation. You might be ready to jump feet first into your goals or you might be feeling that a particularly difficult person could use a reality check. Maybe you’ve even been patient and thorough in a situation but feel like it’s not getting you anywhere.
Stay the course! Rash actions are rarely helpful and remaining in observation mode for a while longer will yield helpful details. This could mean the difference between repeating difficult patterns and creating sustainable change.

Is the sun bad for dermatitis?
Does the sun make dermatitis worse?
If you have severe eczema, too much sun exposure can make your condition worse. A sunburn can cause skin inflammation. Overheating can also lead to excess perspiration, resulting in an eczema flare. Taking precautions to prevent sunburn and stay cool in warm weather is especially important if you have eczema.
Can sunlight trigger dermatitis?
When the sun is harmful for eczema
In fewer than 5% of cases, the sun may aggravate atopic dermatitis. Deciding whether a flare-up has been triggered by sun exposure is relatively easy: it will appear in exposed areas, mainly on the face, neckline and forearms, and this following an unusual amount of sun exposure.
Does heat make dermatitis worse?
The dry air often results in dry skin, which can worsen eczema. Hot temperatures can also aggravate eczema. The heat can stimulate that itchy, prickly feeling those with eczema know all too well. It can also cause sweating, which may lure bacteria and unwanted chemicals to your skin.
What can make dermatitis worse?
Common triggers include: irritants – such as soaps and detergents, including shampoo, washing-up liquid and bubble bath. environmental factors or allergens – such as cold and dry weather, dampness, and more specific things such as house dust mites, pet fur, pollen and moulds.

Is sun good for contact dermatitis?
Research has shown that exposure to UV radiation from the sun may help reduce skin inflammation, thereby alleviating some of the dryness, itching, and rash that characterize eczema.
Is sunlight good for skin infections?
“This study shows that sunlight directly activates key immune cells by increasing their movement.” Ahern also added that while production of vitamin D required UV light, which can promote skin cancer and melanoma, blue light from the sun, as well as from special lamps, is safer.
What do sun allergies Look Like?
The resulting symptoms of a sun allergy reaction look like a widespread red rash. It’s also extremely itchy. The rash can develop small bumps that look like hives. Sun allergies occur regularly from sun exposure and may need regular treatment from a dermatologist.

4 ways to check CPU speed
4 ways to check CPU speed
4 ways to check CPU speed
The speed of your CPU is in direct relation to the working speed of your processor and its speed to carry out a task. CPU speed is less important nowadays than before, thanks to the popularization of multi-core processors. However, it is always useful to check your CPU speed before purchasing new software, to ensure that your computer will be able to run it. It's also very handy to know where to find your actual CPU speed when you're overclocking your machine for better performance.
Method 1 of 4: Windows
Check CPU Speed Step 1
Step 1. Open the System window
You can open this window quickly and in several ways.
• Windows 7, Vista, XP: right click on Computer / My Computer in the menu To start up, then click Properties. In Windows XP, you may need to click the tab General after clicking on Properties.
• Windows 8: right click on the menu To start up then click on System.
• All versions: press the ⊞ Win + Pause keys.
Check CPU Speed Step 2
Step 2. Find the Processor item
You can find it in the "System" section, below the Windows version.
Check CPU Speed Step 3
Step 3. Take note of the processor speed
Your processor model and speed will be displayed. The speed will be indicated in Gigahertz (GHz). This is the speed of a single core of your processor. If your processor has multiple cores (most modern processors do), each core will run at that speed.
If your processor is overclocked, the current speed will not be shown here. Go to the next section to find the actual speed of an overclocked processor
Check CPU Speed Step 4
Step 4. Find out how many cores your processor has
If you have a multi-core processor, the amount of cores will be displayed in this window. Having multiple cores doesn't necessarily mean that programs will run faster, but it can be a big advantage in the case of programs designed specifically for them.
• Press ⊞ Win + R to open the "Run" window.
• Write dxdiag and press Enter. Click Yes if you are prompted to check your drivers.
• Look for the line Processor in the System tab. If your computer has a multicore processor, the quantity will be displayed in brackets after its speed (for example: 4 CPU's). This number will tell you how many hearts you have. Each heart will likely run at the same speed (there will always be slight differences).
Method 2 of 4: Mac
Check CPU Speed Step 5
Step 1. Click on the Apple menu and choose About This Mac
Check CPU Speed Step 6
Step 2. Look for the Processor row in the Preview tab
The theoretical speed of your processor will be displayed. Be aware that this speed may not be the current operating speed of your CPU. This is because your CPU slows down when not working to save power and increase its life expectancy.
Check CPU Speed Step 7
Step 3. Download the Intel Power Gadget utility
This free utility will monitor your CPU and display its current operating speed. You can download it from the following website.
Unzip the file then double-click on the DMG file to install Intel Power Gadget
Check CPU Speed Step 8
Step 4. Download and install Prime95
If you want to know the maximum speed of your processor, you will need to run your CPU at full speed. One of the most popular techniques for doing this is by using a program called Prime95. You can download it for free from mersenne.org/download/. Unzip the program then double-click on the DMG file to install it. Choose option Only a stress test when you start the program.
Prime95 was designed to calculate prime numbers and it will need all your CPU resources to do this job
Check CPU Speed Step 9
Step 5. Find the speed of your processor
The second graph of the utility will tell you how fast your processor is. “Package Frq” will indicate your current speed depending on the task of your processor. This will surely be lower than the "Base Frq" which corresponds to the theoretical speed of the processor.
Method 3 of 4: Linux
Check CPU Speed Step 10
Step 1. Open Terminal
Most of the utilities offered by Linux do not display the current operating speed of the processor. Intel has provided a tool called "Turbostat" which can help you. However, you will have to install it manually through Terminal.
Check CPU Speed Step 11
Step 2. Write uname -r and press Enter
Take note of the version number which is displayed as (X.XX.XX-XX).
Check CPU Speed Step 12
Step 3. Write apt-get install linux-tools-X.XX.XX-XX linux-cloud-tools-X.XX.XX-XX and press Enter
Replace X.XX.XX-XX with the version number you wrote down in the next step. Enter your administration password if prompted.
Check CPU Speed Step 13
Step 4. Write modprobe msr and press Enter
The MSR module you need to run the utility will install.
Check CPU Speed Step 14
Step 5. Open another Terminal window and write openssl speed
The OpenSSL speed test will start, causing your CPU to run at full speed.
Check CPU Speed Step 15
Step 6. Go back to the first Terminal window and write turbostat
This utility will display a series of information about your processor.
Check CPU Speed Step 16
Step 7. Find the GHz column
Each line corresponds to the current speed of each heart. The TSC column is the normal theoretical speed of your processor. This will help you see if your overclock has made a difference. The speeds will probably be low if you are not using your CPU.
Method 4 of 4: Windows (overclocked CPU)
Overclocking a CPU means increasing the voltage of a processor to get more power from it. Overclocking its components is very common in the world of computer fanatics because it allows them to get more performance from their hardware, but the procedure is potentially dangerous for the components. To learn more about the subject, see this article.
Check CPU Speed Step 17
Step 1. Download the CPU-Z program and install it
It is a free utility that allows you to monitor the components of your computer. It was designed for those who want to overclock their machine and it will tell you the exact running speed of your processors. You can download it from the cpuid.com/softwares/cpu-z.html website.
CPU-Z will not install spyware or toolbars during the installation process
Check CPU Speed Step 18
Step 2. Start CPU-Z
By default, you will find a shortcut on your desktop to start CPU-Z. You will need to be logged in as an administrator or know the administration password to be able to operate it.
Check CPU Speed Step 19
Step 3. Start a task that will require a lot of CPU resources
The processor will automatically slow down when not in use, which means the speed you will see in CPU-Z will not match the maximum speed unless the processor is fully loaded.
• A quick technique to get your CPU running at full speed is to run the Prime95 program. It is software designed to calculate prime numbers and it is widely used for performing stress tests on a computer. Download Prime95 from the mersenne.org/download/ website, unzip the files and click on Only a stress test when you run the program.
Check CPU Speed Step 20
Step 4. Watch your CPU speed
The current speed of your CPU will be displayed in the "Core Speed" field in the CPU tab. Expect to see slight fluctuations in speed while running the Prime95 program.

A piece of string is displayed with a large metal nut on one end and a small metal nut on the other. You hang the string across a magic wand holding the large heavy nut and asking which will win if you simply let go. The heavy one should hit the floor in a hurry but... when you let go the small nut quickly goes spinning around the wand and catches the big nut before it hits the ground. A lot of fun!

How to Frame Design Problem Statements
Even the most exciting product ideas can flop without an understanding of the user problem to solve. A clearly-framed design problem statement is an essential step in the design process for creating products that truly matter.
In 2006, Microsoft made the competitive move and released Zune, its version of the futuristic, one-buttoned, every-song-in-your-pocket iPod. The onscreen colors were punchy and the interface was type-led with a beautiful minimalist font. It was a bold move to challenge Apple, but in the world of product, success is not always about being first.
The Microsoft Zune was not a successful product because it didn’t address any special design problems in daily life not already fulfilled by features in other products.
It could be argued that the Zune-only features, such as wirelessly sending a song from one Zune to another (an innovative feature in the mid-aughts) were just as good as the iPod-exclusive features, making Microsoft’s product a seemingly strong contender. But instead, it was a failure.
You could unearth countless reasons why the Zune wasn’t a success (and probably a pile of reasons why it should have been). One major underlying cause was that Microsoft had not identified a problem the Zune would solve. There were no clear user needs that the iPod was failing to meet or any new innovation that would shake things up. The Zune was solving nothing.
If there is no problem, there is no solution, and no reason for a company to exist. – Vinod Khosla, Khosla Ventures (a Silicon Valley venture capital firm)
What Exactly Is a “Design Problem”?
We’ve all had them, solved them, and most definitely caused them. But to put it in simple terms is a challenge in itself. The Oxford dictionary says a problem is “a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with and overcome.” True, but this implies there is an awareness of the desired outcome. With all due respect to the brilliant minds at the Oxford Dictionary, this definition is missing an important component: unconscious desires.
Inventor of the automobile, Henry Ford, knew about this layer of desire when he famously said, “If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses.” He knew that the unwelcome matter at hand was that horses were too slow. But this wasn’t really the problem that needed solving. There was a deeper need that his customers couldn’t articulate.
Henry Ford, and a driver of the first Model T.
Richard Buchanan is a “design theorist” whose career revolves around human-centered design thinking principles. In his paper, Design Research and the New Learning, he alludes to a user’s unarticulated need when he defines design as “the human power of conceiving, planning, and making products or services that serve human beings in the accomplishment of their individual and collective purposes.” It’s the user’s purpose that needs attention, not simply an unwelcome situation. This deeper need is at the root of what a user desires, whether or not they can articulate it.
Ford’s customers thought they needed a faster version of what they already had. But Ford understood their deeper purpose: to get from one place to another faster. This distinction helped him avoid simply engineering a faster horse and instead opened the doors to create something that had never existed before.
A problem isn’t simply an unwanted situation or a matter that deviates from the norm—although these are still valid definitions of a problem. For designers and creative problem solving, a problem is an unmet need that, if met, can satisfy the user’s purpose.
Framing a problem brings focus to an otherwise busy landscape.
Why Frame a Problem?
Framing a design problem is the first step in a human-centered design process. It prioritizes the elements just discussed: the user and the purpose they desire to accomplish. This means that an initial round of user research can be revolutionary in uncovering deep-rooted desires. Conducting user interviews or desktop research, such as competitive analysis, can reveal insights into potential users and what problems they face.
For example, a design problem statement may be, “New mums need a way to feel connected to a support group because they spend a large amount of time alone with their babies and end up feeling isolated and lonely.” These mums have a deep-rooted desire to know they’re not alone, and a new product might help them accomplish the purpose of feeling connected.
A design team could develop an app, a social network platform, or even a brick-and-mortar venue where mums could gather. The problem statement would guide the team in navigating decisions and features, like, should we use AI? What other apps should it link to? How could the environment be designed? The framed problem provides a framework for crafting the best solution for the user.
By framing the problem with a statement narrow enough to bring focus yet broad enough for creativity, the product design team can stay simultaneously focused on design problem-solving and open to innovative possibilities.

The Problem and Design Brief are sometimes viewed as two different sections of the design process. However, they are very closely related. Before you can can start a design project you must find a ‘problem’ to solve. Sometimes this may be given to you as a question set by the teacher or the Examinations Board and is usually a paragraph of writing. The ‘design brief’ follows the ‘problem’ and states clearly how you intend to solve the design problem.
Below is an example of a design problem and brief. Remember, the presentation is important especially if you are taking the Graphic Products course. Above all the problem and brief must be easy to read and follow, clearly saying what the problem is and how you intend to solve it.
A number of houses have been broken into on my street. It has been noticed that the number of strangers walking down our street has increased lately and house holders are becoming concerned about the security of their houses. The police have advised people to make their houses look as if they are occupied when they go away for a holiday or even out for the evening. This may deter a potential thief from breaking into either the house or garage.
The Neighbourhood Watch scheme has also been introduced recently and this has helped people feel more secure. However, even though neighbours will keep an eye on your property if you decide to go out and leave the house empty, they cannot watch twenty four hours a day.
Often even the police ignore house alarms when they are activated because of the high number of false alarms.
I am going to design and make a security device that will make my house look occupied when, in fact, it is empty. Police statistics clearly show that houses are much more likely to be broken into when they are empty. Consequently, if the house looks occupied it is likely to be safe.
The device will be mobile so that it can be moved from room to room, easy to set up and control and also cheap to make. It must not be powered by mains voltage and in this way it will be completely safe to be left ‘on’ for a long time and will not be affected by power cuts. It will be activated by anyone approaching the hose from the front or back.
It must deter even profession crooks from taking an interest in our house and even convince people in the street that the house is occupied.
1. The brief and problem is mainly text (writing) that is printed in a clear style so that it can be read and understood easily.2. The problem is a paragraph or more in length. It describes the problem you are aiming to solve. Do not say how you intend to solve the problem, only what the problem is. If you have been given a examination question as your design project, add more detail. The example opposite is based on the following examination question:
“Design and make an educational device for young children. It must improve hand and eye coordination”.
The problem written opposite is a more detailed and imaginative way of writing the examination question. A pedestrian crossing simulator has been selected by the pupil as the educational device.
3. The first sentence should state the problem, adding more detail with the following sentences.4. If the examination question does not name the product that has to be designed and made (such as an educational device) - you can mention an area that you are interested in. This could include, jigsaws, puzzles or something that could be adapted as an educational device.
1. Always start the design brief with “I am going to design and make .....”. This is followed by a general description of the type of device you feel will answer the design problem.2. Do not be too specific. The brief should be a general description that allows you flexibility regarding the type of product you intend to make. For example, if your are designing an automatic animal feeder it may be a good idea not to say the type of animal it is for, at least not at this stage in the project.3. Do not be specific about materials. It may be wise to avoid stating the exact materials it will be manufactured from (eg. pine, steel, perspex etc...). Instead describe the materials to be used as strong, tough, flexible, natural, manmade, recycled, water-proof or similar general descriptions.4. Mention points such as; safety, general size, what it will do (it’s functions), general properties of the materials needed, who it is for (eg children), basic cost of manufacture or a lower and upper cost limits, circuit requirements and other points you feel are important.
A. Is there a product that you could improve for a hobby or interest?B. Is there an item that you use every day that could be improved? Is there an item that could be adapted for disabled people or young children or the elderly? or another group of people?

The digital labor market at a glance
How much is the digital labor market growing?
Digital labor is transforming the way we work. As of last year, the online workforce contained over 19 million active users. This year, digital labor platforms are expected to generate $52 billion globally.
The U.S. technology sector is closely linked to this rapid increase. Just within the U.S., there are expected to be over 500,000 new computer and information technology jobs in the next decade; about an 11% growth.
Why does digital literacy development matter?
As COVID-19 revealed the historically well-hidden problems facing workers, it became clear that something needed to change. Specifically, labor and education need to be treated as two sides of the same coin. We need to change how we train in order to improve how we work.
Companies that use digital labor must bring awareness and intention as they engage workforces abroad. Furthermore, there is the opportunity to create mutually beneficial improvements to labor and technology markets, local and abroad.
AI is the new electricity.
-Dr. Andrew Ng
Literacy is a resource in the way that electricity is a resource: it keeps the lights on.
-Dr. Deborah Brandt
What is Literacy?
Most people only think about literacy when discussing what someone lacks. A person is “illiterate” when they can’t read or write. Rarely do we define or nuance the opposite; being literate. However, being literate is not an accident. It is the result of myriad social and economic factors throughout an entire human life. Literacy is both learned and lived in. Though it’s taken for granted by most, it is an essential tool for navigating the world.

Annotation as digital literacy
It is not easy to define what makes a competent annotator; it is more than just making a selection. Rather, effective annotators decipher rigid, sometimes vague, instructions and interpret them across massive datasets. More than simply drawing a box, effective annotators must intuit what is or isn’t important to a model they may never see. From this perspective, effective annotation becomes a digital literacy; a mix of competencies that let annotators discover “how?” and “why?” independently.
Sponsoring Digital Literacy
Designers and users of annotation platforms have the potential to revolutionize the labor ML/AI is built on by becoming active sponsors of digital literacy. In her words, rhetorical scholar Dr. Deborah Brandt says sponsors of literacy are, “any agents, local or distant, concrete or abstract, who enable, support, teach, and model, as well as recruit, regulate, suppress, or withhold literacy—and gain advantage by it in some way.” The advantages of sponsorship are clear; making the digital workforce more competent makes the results of its labor higher quality.
Treating every step of the annotation process as literacy development—the accumulation of skill over time—brings a data-centric approach from start to finish. Enhancing the ML/AI process is not a singular person’s task. Rather, the work begins even before the data is annotated; the future of AI depends on what competencies we offer our workforce.

HEADLINE: Time out for justice: why talking about drugs is worse than murder.
BYLINE: Bovard, James
Politicians in Washington are demanding a new crackdown on--and harsher penalties for--cocaine users, among other narcotics violators. Yet before the nation embarks on drug war number 327, we should stop and examine what our political ruling class has already achieved. The files of the November Coalition, Families Against Mandatory Minimums and various media accounts are filled with horror stories. It is worthwhile to compare sentences that are given to drug offenders with those received by murderers, rapists, child molesters, armed robbers and other victims of difficult childhoods.
Jose Tapia, along with a friend, carried out "the largest mass murder in Rhode Island history," according to Providence prosecutors in 1996. Tapia and his buddy intentionally set fire to the home of a family of Guatemalan immigrants. Six people (including four children) died in the flames. (Typically, the criminals were both evil and stupid: Tapia and his friend were trying to torch someone else's home but got confused.) Tapia received a sentence that will make him eligible for parole in 21 years. By contrast, Kyle Lindquist, a 36-year-old excavating contractor and father of three, was busted in 1992 on conspiracy charges of intent to possess and distribute 1000 kilos or more of marijuana. Lindquist got a sentence of 23 years with no possibility of parole. Apparently, conspiring to hustle some weed is worse than burning down a house full of children.
Rodney Kelley murdered two brothers in 1991 near a New Orleans freeway overpass, shooting each in the head and robbing the corpses. The police caught Kelley but then prosecutors allowed him to plead guilty to manslaughter, which meant an eight-year sentence--and eligibility for parole after only four years. By contrast, Will Foster, a 38-year-old software programmer and father of three, grew marijuana in his basement to treat his severe rheumatoid arthritis. Based on a bogus tip from a supposed "confidential informant" that Foster was selling methamphetamine, police raided his home. While no methamphetamine was found, police did find about 70 marijuana plants, many of which were seedlings. Because Foster was a first-time offender, the judge let him off with a 93-year sentence.
William Edward Neusteter used a handgun to rob a 7-Eleven and several of its customers in Denver in 1995. District judge R. Michael Mullins sentenced Neusteter, the son of a prominent local businessman, to five years' probation. Similarly, a Los Angeles County sheriff's deputy who went berserk and began shooting at kids who were spray-painting graffiti, and who engaged in a high-speed chase and then lied about the circumstances, was convicted of "assault with a firearm, gross negligent discharge of a firearm, shooting from a vehicle and filing a false report." Sheriff's Deputy Bobby Rodriguez could have faced 14 years in prison, but he received five years' probation. By contrast, Amy Marie Kacsor and many other luckless individuals have had five years added to their federal prison sentences merely because firearms were found in their homes by police searching for illicit substances. Kacsor, a 26-year-old Michigan resident, was busted for growing marijuana in her basement. The police searched her house and found two registered handguns owned by her mother, as well as two hunting rifles owned by Kacsor's boyfriend. Federal judge Stewart Newblatt denounced the additional sentencing as vicious.
In July 1995 Anthony Brown and his brother beat and raped a woman in Atlanta within days of Anthony's release from prison on armed robbery charges. Brown pleaded guilty to rape and received a one-year prison sentence. Under the state mandatory sentencing law, he should have received life in prison as a repeat violent offender, but prosecutors decided to be nice. His brother, who also pleaded guilty, was required to submit to five years of "intensive" probation. By contrast, Todd Davidson, a 27-year-old Deadhead, was originally sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiracy to possess LSD with intent to distribute. A friend with whom he shared a motel room sold some acid to federal agents. Davidson was caught in the same net, and he was found guilty partly on the basis of a remark made prior to the sale.
Daniel Green received a six-year sentence after using an ax to smash the skull of a 17-year-old boy and almost killing him (the victim was in a coma for three months and suffered permanent brain damage). North Carolina prison officials were beneficent and set Green free after he had served just a third of his sentence. Two months after he was paroled, Green and Larry Demery murdered Michael Jordan's father, James, and stole his Lexus. By contrast, Christopher Sia was initially sentenced to 24 years in federal prison after he was set up by an undercover federal agent. Sia's sentence was determined by a peculiar guideline that bases LSD penalties on the weight of the drug and its "carrier medium"--in this case blotter paper and a liquid solvent. Despite a modification in the sentencing guidelines, LSD offenders continue to receive disproportionately severe sentences.
Edwin "Fast Eddie" McBirney received a five-year sentence for fraudulent practices (such as using federally insured deposits to pay for sex parties) that wrecked his Texas savings and loan and cost U.S. taxpayers an estimated $70 million. McBirney served slightly more than half of his sentence. By contrast, Kelly Hackett, a 29-year-old Ohio resident, got a five-year sentence after a "friend" (who turned out to be a government informant) brought an undercover agent to her house. They wanted to buy some crack. Hackett called an acquaintance, who sold them 5.4 grams of crack. Four months later, Hackett was arrested. Thousands of Americans are serving five years in federal prison (with no parole) after being apprehended in possession of less than two pennies' weight of crack--a mere five grams. Thanks to propagandists of the drug war, crack holds a special place on the political demonology honor roll of the late 20th century. First offenders who have never even been caught jaywalking automatically receive five years in prison, thereby making reelection campaigns safe for incumbent congressmen.
Elmer Tate of Warwick, Rhode Island admitted guilt in three separate child-molestation cases, in 1992, 1994 and 1996. Yet each time, local judges awarded him a suspended sentence. Apparently, the molesting of children may or may not deserve punishment, depending on the whims of judges and prosecutors. By contrast, the mere hearing of certain words is a hanging offense. Loren Pogue, a middle-aged real estate agent, got snared in 1990 because he agreed to help a friend sell a plot of Costa Rican land. Because the buyers--undercover agents--mentioned that they intended to use the mountainside as a landing strip for Colombian cocaine flights, Pogue was convicted of conspiracy to import, possess and distribute cocaine. Regardless of the absurdity of the scheme, the fact that the word cocaine was mentioned at the closing of the real estate deal earned Pogue 27 years.
The Reverend Richard Rossi Jr., pastor of the First Love Church in Pittsburgh, was charged with attempted murder after his wife identified him as the attacker who beat her nearly to death while they were house-hunting in a Pittsburgh suburb. In 1995 Rossi was permitted to plead no contest to second-degree aggravated assault and served 96 days in jail. Upon his release he announced he was writing two screenplays. By contrast, Donald Clark, a farmer in Manatee County, Florida, was caught with 900 marijuana plants by state officials in the mid-Eighties. After serving time in a Florida state prison, he assumed his debt to society was paid. But in 1988 federal prosecutors decided to pursue conspiracy charges against Clark. As the St. Petersburg Times noted, "Since he was charged under federal racketeering laws, he was considered responsible for every seedling ever grown in Manatee County during the Eighties. That added up to a million plants." He received life without the chance of parole.
The average murderer serves eight years in prison. According to Julie Stewart of Families Against Mandatory Minimums, many people have been sentenced to ten years or longer merely for "conspiracy" via indiscreet discussions with federal informants--"dry cases," in which no illicit drugs are directly linked to the defendant. With our current moral-judicial system, talking about drugs disapproved of by politicians is a worse crime than killing citizens. In one five-year period beginning in 1986 the average prison sentence for drug offenses nearly tripled (from 27 months to 78 months). The number of people in federal and state prisons on drug charges has increased tenfold since 1980; since 1987, drug defendants have accounted for nearly three quarters of all new federal prisoners.
Under federal sentencing guidelines, a person is entitled to the same five-year prison ticket for possession of five grams of crack that he would receive for embezzling between $10 million and $20 million from a bank--or for using a threat of violence to extort between $2.5 million and $5 million from someone, or for kidnapping someone and seriously injuring the victim. Obviously, crack is terrible stuff.
Politicians seek to portray drug users and dealers as incurably heinous, yet they ignore the fact that three quarters of people sentenced to state prisons on drug charges have no history of criminal violence. Last year, the number of people sentenced to prison for drug crimes significantly exceeded the number of people sentenced for violent crimes. At a time when most big cities have a record number of unsolved murders on the books, more than 19,000 state and local law enforcement officials are assigned to the drug war on a full-time basis.
Florida State University economists Bruce Benson and David Rasmussen looked at the situation and concluded that cracking down on' drugs unintentionally fosters theft, burglary and other property crimes because law enforcement resources are diverted. Their study notes that between 1982 and 1987, when Florida police focused on drug-law enforcement, drug arrests rose 90 percent, while total arrests rose only 32 percent. Property crimes escalated, with robbery rates rising 34 percent and auto thefts by 65 percent. As more resources are allocated to fight drug crime, the chance of arrest for property crime falls.
Politicians receive billions of dollars from citizens each year to fund the criminal justice system and provide police protection. But more than 5 million Americans were victims of violent crime last year. The only explanation for lawmakers' obsession with penalizing drug offenders while neglecting public safety is that they are far more anxious to control us than to protect us. As always, the lesson of political history is the same: Save us from our saviors.

Clare Rojas USA, b. 1976
For Clare Rojas, storytelling manifests in many different ways: sometimes visually, as a painting, drawing, or sculpture; other times musically, as a song. Yet one similarity Rojas has noticed between these various forms of expression has to do with reduction. Her songwriting pares down the essence of a story to something that can be conveyed in minutes, just as the essence of form and line in her abstract visual compositions is reduced to an examination of the tension of balance.
However, though theoretically reductive, Rojas’ highly individualized visual language also represents an escalation. Each composition proliferates from a personal totemic form unrooted to figurative meaning, but evocative of the shape of a drop of water or a mountain. The form has evolved over time, from an abstract shape that Rojas instinctively drew to something concrete she began noticing in her everyday visual environment. Says Rojas, “The more I drew it, and meditated on the shape, the more I saw it everywhere I looked. I found it in the figure, in nature, in water, in land, in animals.”
In her exhibition, Egret, at Kavi Gupta in Chicago, Rojas expanded her relationship with this form. She mobilized it as both a metaphysical anchor and an aesthetic starting point for more than 100 new abstract works, including one hundred 8x10-inch drawings, nine new largescale oil paintings, and several new sculptural works. This visually stunning and conceptually rigorous body of work continues Rojas’ ongoing examination of the human will towards story, an instinct marked by our search for narrative relationships with images, even when they are essentially abstract.
Rojas' Recent projects include a site specific commission for facebook headquarters in San francisco, CA and the Art in Embassies Program in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico; Egret, Kavi Gupta, Chicago, IL: The House Imaginary, San Jose Museum of Art, CA; New Works at Anglim Gilbert San Francisco; selftitled shows at Vladmir Restoin Roitfeld, New York and Galleri Nicolai Wallner, Copenhagen; Pith at Prism, Los Angeles; and We They at the Museum of Craft and Folk Art, San Francisco, CA. Rojas’ work has been reviewed in such publications as the Huffington PostArtforum International MagazineArt in AmericaInterview MagazineThe New York Times, and Art Review.

Data preparation
Before you create your prediction model, you'll want to make sure your data is in Microsoft Dataverse and that it's in the correct format.
Create your custom table
Do you have data that you want to import into Dataverse for training in AI Builder? First, you have to create a table. In this example, we'll provide a solution that has predefined custom tables. To use your own data, create a custom table and use it instead of the example used here.
For best results, use a dataset that is less than 1.5 GB in size. Otherwise, AI Builder will use only 1.5 GB of your data to train and predict. Because you can’t control which data that exceeds the 1.5 GB limit won't be used, you should optimize your data to stay under 1.5 GB.
Sample dataset for prediction model

Stakeholders Vs. Shareholders
Learn about shareholders with Om Puri!
Case breakdown: Movie Jane Bhi do Yaaro
Watch this historic scene carefully from ‘Jaane Bhi do Yaaro’. In this particular scene, the play ‘Mahabharata’ is being staged. While the play has its usual characters, it is interrupted by outsiders who aren’t part of the play. This scene begins when 2 guys Vinod and Ravi (played by Naseeruddin Shah and Sudhir Mishra) are trying to hide the corpse of D’mello (played by Satish Shah) in the hope of exposing the corrupt builder (Tarneja) who had killed D’mello. Their attempt at hiding D’mello fails miserably when he is mistaken for Draupadi. Soon different parties saunter onto the stage claiming their right to Draupadi. Duryodhana, Dushasana (Vinod and Ravi), Bhim (Ahuja), and later Drupad (Tarneja) all try to take Draupadi into their custody. D’mello even becomes Anarkali when Akbar and Salim enter the stage.
Om Puri (in the scene above plays Ahuja) mentions that “Draupadi is not just yours, we all are shareholders.”
He says this because Draupadi was married to 5 Pandava brothers and each had right over her as a husband. If you watch this scene carefully, you will realize everybody seems to be after D’mello’s corpse ( played by Satish Shah). There are many people trying to claim it.
Stakeholders Vs. Shareholders
A shareholder can be an individual or a company that buys a portion of the stock. For e.g. if you decide to buy 100 shares of Reliance, you become a shareholder of Reliance as you now own a very small portion of the stock of Reliance.
Two terms that are generally confusing for people to understand are stakeholder and shareholder. Organization/employees/government can be stakeholders in your company while shareholders’ would be those who own a part of your company by purchasing shares. Stakeholders want your company to perform well for reasons other than ownership.
Hence it follows from above, that stakeholders don’t necessarily have to be shareholders in a company while shareholders are always stakeholders in a company. Let’s see who are stakeholders with an example of an IT company. Below is a stakeholders’ map of an IT company.
The diagram can help us in understanding the various stakeholders of an IT company. Employees, suppliers, and customers all have different interests in the company and have a stake in the company. As one can see, Shareholders’ are also Stakeholders.
Now, it’s your turn to answer, In this particular scene, all those claiming the right to Draupadi are shareholders’ or stakeholders’?

Post Summary
• Kenyan TikTok Swiry Nyar Kano revealed that she uses makeup and fashion to project her inner identity
• She denied claims that witchcraft is bad, adding that it is modern day astrology and that the day Africans will start studying astrology there will be very powerful
• Nyar said that the modern day Bible has been tainted by foreigners and is being used as a tool of control
• Swiry urged Africans to resume their traditional way of dressing as the modern day fashion was derived from the pain and suffering of slaves.
Kenyan TikToker Vivian Taabu Okumu popularly known as Swiry Nyar Kano has gained traction on social media due to her vast knowledge of the African culture.
Since May 2021, the young lass has been posting information on African history and heritage on TikTok, something that leaves audiences startled. Taabu has a whooping one million followers on the app and her posts have amassed 12.5 million likes so far.
Speaking to Lynn Ngugi, Vivian revealed that neighbours from the village she was residing in dubbed her Nyar Kano and she adopted the nickname as it came authentically to her. The fashion enthusiast revealed that she drew her passion for sowing from her mother adding that she seeks inspiration from nature.
Nyar Kano who wears what others might consider peculiar makeup on her face revealed that she uses it to project her inner identity. She also revealed that she uses her outfits to express herself. Everything Vivian wears has a deeper meaning including the colour combinations.
Nyar is a firm believer of as above so below, and as within so without. This means that everything we interact with is a reflection of what we have within. She revealed that wet dreams and menstruation cycles are a sign of re-energizing, adding that men are stronger than women as they re-energize on a daily basis.
"I use the third eye as a form of protection," she said.
Okumu denied claims that witchcraft is bad clarifying that it is the study of energies. She revealed that witchcraft is modern-day astrology and that Africans could study the sun, moon, and stars to predict seasons.
She opined that witchcraft was demonized by the Western world as they were afraid of the power Africans would possess if they were enlightened. Vivian stated that during colonization, Africans were enslaved and prevented from reading and writing in order to block their minds.
Taabu disclosed that the day Africans will start studying astrology, they will realize that the African map is upside down, they will avoid reading time the European way, and they will stop despising themselves at the expense of foreigners.
Nyar divulged that the Ancient Greek knowledge was acquired from Africa by philosophers who took the information to their countries. She added that the pyramids in Egypt were built by Africans who met there to trade.
Okumu said that unlike what most people believe, the pyramids were not tombs for Pharaohs. She disclosed that they contained gold crystals at the top that had frequencies that kept Africans aligned. The foreigners were jealous of the balance the crystals brought and they fought over them.
As for the Bible, Swiry opined that it is a collection of different mythological stories from different communities composed to create a tool of control. She revealed that the current Bible has been tainted by foreigners over time to push their own agenda.
"It is a collection of droplets of truths from different sources," she stated.
She called out foreigners for scrapping off words and books from the Bible where black people are mentioned. Nyar claimed that people from the West want to whitewash the entire history to make it look like blacks did not chip in yet they contributed everything. The fashionista said that although God is the same, He is just misrepresented.
Vivian alleged that the current education system was introduced by foreigners and was designed to make a black child fail. She added that formulas especially in mathematics were invented to make things complicated and that one does not need formulas to make it in life.
Nyar urged Africans to stick to their ancient way of dressing adding that it will help them easily identify each other. She said that the modern fashion invented by foreigners, grew out of the pain and sufferings of Africans and that it is aimed at mocking people from Africa.
Taabu urged sick people to use traditional herbs instead of exported medicine. She said that health is intertwined with the environment and that nothing in nature is against us. Nyar stated that human beings do not need drugs to make them feel high, as they have receptors to do it themselves.
Responding to the numerous complaints made about Gen Z, Nyar said that, unlike millennials, Gen Z are not scared of stepping into the unknown. She said that they are here to break the code and are ready for the consequences. Nyar urged the previous generations to prepare for the coming of Generation Alpha who are going to do the unthinkable.
Nyar said that our bodies are meant to guide us through life and she urged people to always listen to their instincts. She discouraged people against being people pleasers saying that it will make us stay away from our intended paths.
Vivian called out social media users calling her a witch adding that she respects witches as they are intentional and have good energy. She cleared the air and said that although she does not hate white people, she despises the information being driven to Africans by white supremacists.
Nyar opined that Africa has been in a narcissistic relationship with the West as they give a lot and receive nothing in return. She said that once Africans know the untapped potential of their continent, they will step into their power.

Get Rich Slow in Crypto
Every new cohort of users that enters the crypto markets count among their number starry eyed aspirants who have been seduced by success stories of taking $1,000 to $1,000,000 on one investment. The FOMO has them dreaming of winning big and achieving financial freedom. They are so drunk on hope that they drop all of their fiat into the latest flavor of the month token.
Reality check:
Getting rich quickly doesn’t happen for most people. You and the next 10,000 users are much more likely to get broke quickly. Especially if you run into the markets blind.
If you are not careful, the crypto market will chew up your savings and spit out nothing but a few JPEGs and a pile of shit coins worth less than the time it takes to price them.
In this article, I’ll provide some common sense tips on how to survive any market and set yourself up to get rich, slow and steady. As always: NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE.
The textbook way to protect your capital and improve your returns is to diversify your investments. This is because because a catastrophic loss on an overexposed asset can set your financial journey back years or more. For example, if an investor had all of their assets on the Terra network, they would be financially ruined today. By investing in a basket of uncorrelated assets, investors can reduce this risk.
In practice, there are a number of different ways you can diversify your portfolio:
• Investing in multiple different projects within an ecosystem. For example investing in both BOO and BEETS.
• Providing liquidity on multiple different protocols. For example on SpiritSwap and SpookySwap in case one of them has a security flaw.
• Investing in multiple different ecosystems or blockchains. For example, investing in projects outside of Fantom in case the chain doesn’t survive.
• Investing in a variety of crypto asset classes such as layer ones, DeFi, governance tokens, exchange tokens and NFTs.
• Investing in asset classes outside of crypto such as stocks, bonds, real estate and commodities.
What a well diversified portfolio looks like depends entirely on your own personal risk tolerance and financial goals. Try and keep these ideas in mind as you expand your investments.
Make Investing a Regular Habit
All too often, new investors buy the top of the bull market only to be mauled by the bear market. A classic: \”Buy High; Sell Low\” tragedy. When these burned investors withdraw totally from the market they miss the greatest opportunities to claim large gains: the accumulation period after the bear market.
In order to simplify investing and improve your odds of staying in the market you can dollar cost average into the market at regular intervals. By using a dollar cost average strategy you separate emotion from your market activity. This reduces the amount of the top you buy an maximizes how much of the bottom you buy. By automating the process, you also reduce emotional stress involved in making frequent decisions about your investments. Remember that time in the market is more important than timing the market.
On the website dcaBTC, you can use a calculator to see how much you would have made from DCA\’ing BTC. For example, if you had invested $10 a week for the last 3 years, you would have turned $1,570 into $4,379 or a 178% return. If you had invested the same amount into gold you would only have $1,642 (+4.59%) and if you had invested into the DOW Jones Index you would have $1,848 (+17.72%). Now if you had been DCAing into FTM you would have $28,669 (+1,726%).
Do remember: past performance does not guarantee future results
Treat Leverage With Care
Many people turn to leverage to try to maximize their returns to get rich super quickly. What you need to remember is that when you use leverage, it multiplies the exposure to both the upside and the downside. Using margin trading can be a very quick way to watch your collateral disappear. And in the case that you win, how far do you let it go before locking in your gain?
If you don’t have a plan, you will watch your gains evaporate in front of your eyes. So, unless you have thoroughly researched leverage and created a plan, it is probably best to leave leveraging to the pros.
Instead, let the magic compound interest do the work for you. ;^)

Platelet antibodies blood test
This blood test shows if you have antibodies against platelets in your blood. Platelets are a part of the blood that helps the blood clot.
How the Test is Performed
A blood sample is needed.
How to Prepare for the Test
No special preparation is needed for this test.
How the Test will Feel
Why the Test is Performed
An antibody is a protein produced by your body's immune system to attack harmful substances, called antigens. Examples of antigens include bacteria and viruses.
Antibodies may be produced when your immune system mistakenly considers healthy tissue to be a harmful substance. In the case of platelet antibodies, your body created antibodies to attack platelets. As a result, you will have a lower than normal number of platelets in your body. This condition is called thrombocytopenia, and it can cause too much bleeding.
This test is often ordered because you have a bleeding problem.
Normal Results
A negative test is normal. This means that you do not have anti-platelet antibodies in your blood.
What Abnormal Results Mean
Abnormal results show that you have anti-platelet antibodies. Anti-platelet antibodies may appear in the blood due to any of the following:
• For unknown reasons (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, or ITP)
• Side effect of certain drugs such as gold, heparin, quinidine, and quinine
• Excessive bleeding
• Fainting or feeling lightheaded
• Multiple punctures to locate veins
• Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
Alternative Names
Thrombocytopenia - platelet antibody; Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura - platelet antibody

Mimon’s Philosophy and Design
Generative Art
According to contemporary dream studies, dreams are fragments of everyday memories combined by a certain algorithm of the brain. We were inspired by the fact that, somewhat like a dream, as a generative art, the PFP avatar’s “Mint” combines several attributes by the blockchain algorithm.
Freud’s Theory
According to Freud’s Theory, dreams are an expression of desires in the unconscious mind. All humans have basic desires, and dreams that thrive on these desires motivate human lives. We believe that such human desire, or the endeavor to achieve something, is in itself beautiful and that which brings happiness. Hence, we have named ourselves Mimon, which translates to “beautiful dream.”
The Two Meanings of Mimon
1. Dream and Purpose We spread a message of hope to society by encouraging those who dream and supporting those who seek to achieve their purposes.
2. Sleeping Dream Dreams are concentrated within each individual and disappear when that individual awakes. However, Mimon is decentralized and exists in the blockchain world forever.
In ancient times, Dreams were believed to be a revelation of higher beings, such as gods or spirits. Accordingly, Mimon was designed neither as an animal, human but as a fantastical being.
Pink is the color of a dreaming brain and expresses a message of hope or desire.
Mimon is constituted of both familiar everyday and unfamiliar fantastical traits.

Using the API
API consumers can authenticate themselves either by providing the username and password credentials according to the Basic HTTP Authentication Scheme or by providing an OAuth 2.0 access token according to the The OAuth 2.0 Authorization Framework: Bearer Token Usage. Using the web client a partner can sign up for an account using an email address, choose a password and verify the email address by clicking a link in an email which is sent upon registration. The partner can also reset the password using the web client. Both API authentication methods rely on the email and password credentials.
Note that in the examples below some HTTP headers have been removed for brevity.
Basic authentication
In a Basic Authentication the credentials are included in the Authorization header. This is done by concatenating the credential pair using a colon and base64 encoding the result, base64(<email>:<password>).
The header thus becomes:
Authorization: Basic <base64 encoded credentials>
$ curl -v -s --user '[email protected]:password'
> GET /orders HTTP/1.1
> Host:
> Authorization: Basic dXNlckBleGFtcGxlLmNvbTpwYXNzd29yZA==
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Bearer authentication
In a Bearer Authentication the credentials are included in the Authorization header. The access token, which is used as a bearer token, can be acquired using either of the following OAuth 2.0 flows:
Example accessing REST resources using the access token:
> GET /orders HTTP/1.1
> Host:
> Authorization: Bearer slBcjO-QTJGGMRbYTJHq8A
< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Example accessing WebSocket resources using the access token:
Browsers do not permit setting an HTTP header when opening a WebSocket and therefore most WebSocket libraries, especially those written in JavaScript, do not support adding the access token as a bearer token in the authorization header. For that reason, the access token can be passed in the query parameters when connecting to WebSocket resources.
Authorization code flow with proof key for code exchange (PKCE)
When public clients, e.g. native or single-page applications, request access tokens, some additional security concerns are posed that are not mitigated by the authorization code flow alone. This is because:
Native apps
• Cannot securely store a client secret. Decompiling the app will reveal the client secret, which is bound to the app and is the same for all users and devices.
• May make use of a custom URL scheme to capture redirects, e.g. MyApp://, potentially allowing malicious applications to receive an authorization code from your authorization server.
Single page apps
• Cannot securely store a client secret because their entire source is available to the browser.
Given this, OAuth 2.0 provides a version of the authorization code flow which makes use of a proof key for code exchange (PKCE) (defined in OAuth 2.0 RFC 7636). The PKCE-enhanced authorization code flow introduces a secret created by the calling application that can be verified by the authorization server; this secret is called the code verifier. Additionally, the calling app creates a code challenge, by hashing the code verifier, and sends this value over HTTPS to retrieve an authorization code. This way, a malicious attacker can only intercept the authorization code but they cannot exchange it for a token without the code verifier.
At a high level, the entire authorization flow for a partner application looks a like this:
1. Generating the code challenge for PKCE in OAuth 2.0
When the user initiates an authentication flow, the client should compute a code_verifier. This must be a random, high entropy string between 43 and 128 characters. Next up, the client computes a code_challenge starting from the code_verifier (see also rfc7636, section 4). This is the result of the following pseudo-code:
code_challenge = base64urlEncode(SHA256(ASCII(code_verifier)))
The code_challenge must be sent in the first step of the authorization flow. The code_verifier instead must be included along the initial request to the authorization server for requesting the Access Token.
2. Authorization code request query parameters
The authorization flow begins with the application directing the user to the Monerium API by either POST or GET request to the /auth endpoint, sending the code_challenge, so it can be verified later.
Endpoint documentation: Initiating the authorization flow.
3-4. Authorization and onboarding
During the authorization flow, the users are automatically directed to a Monerium authorization screen that can be styled to fit the application. The user either authenticates with their username or passwords or signs up. After they have successfully on-boarded, they grant your application access according to the requested scope.
5. Authorization response
Once the authorization is granted, users will be redirected to the redirect URL with the authorization code as a query parameter. If you include a state parameter in the initial authorization URL, it will be included in the redirect URL after the user authorizes your app.
Your app should compare the state with the state it created in the initial request. This helps ensure that you only exchange authorization codes that you requested, preventing attackers from redirecting to your callback URL with arbitrary or stolen authorization codes.
Example authorization code successful response:
HTTP/2 301
Error responses may also be sent to the redirect URL so the application can handle them appropriately:
Error Parameter Description
error An error code string that can be used to classify types of errors that occur, and can be used to react to errors.
error_description A specific error message that can help a developer identify the root cause of an authentication error.
error_uri A link to more detailed information about the error and how to resolve it.
The following table describes the various error codes that can be returned in the error parameter of the error response.
Error code Description
access_denied Resource owner denied consent.
invalid_request The request is missing a required parameter, includes an invalid parameter value, or is otherwise malformed.
unauthorized_client The client is not authorized to request an authorization code using this method.
unsupported_response_type The authorization server does not support obtaining an authorization code using this method.
invalid_scope The requested scope is invalid, unknown, or malformed.
server_error The authorization server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.
temporarily_unavailable The authorization server is currently unable to handle the request due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server.
6. Redeem code for access token
Having accessed the authorization code, you can now use that and a code_verifier to authenticate and redeem an access_token. Submit a POST or GET request to /auth/token with grant_type=authorization_code.
Endpoint documentation: Getting an access_token with authorization code.
Example request
curl --silent --show-err --data code=xxx -d grant_type=authorization_code
-d client_id=1234 -d code_verifier=abc -d redirect_uri=
9-10. Refreshing the access token
Access tokens are short lived and you must refresh them after they expire to continue accessing resources. You can do so by submitting another POST or GET request to the /auth/token endpoint, this time providing the refresh_token instead of the code.
Endpoint documentation: Getting an access_token with a refresh_token.
Client credentials authorization
Confidential clients which can hide their credentials, e.g. backend servers, can be enlisted in Monerium's partner program, which enables them simultaneous access to multiple profiles which have granted authorization. These clients can get an access_token by submitting a POST or GET request to /auth/token:
curl --location --request POST '' \
--data-urlencode 'client_id=1234567890abcdef' \
--data-urlencode 'client_secret=27b871f28ab834b6be75c21578b4c944527fe34fce3952dc59f9c928b8502ee8' \
--data-urlencode 'grant_type=client_credentials'
Endpoint documentation: Getting an access_token with client credentials.
Customers are represented by profiles whose identifier is the profile ID. The profile kind is used to differentiate between personal profiles and corporate profiles. All resources, such as orders, are owned by a profile. Users and external applications can be associated with profiles which grants them access to the resources owned by the profile. Usually there is a 1-to-1 relationship between a user and a personal profile but often there is a many-to-one relationship or many-to-many relationship between users and corporate profiles, where a single user may have access to multiple corporate profiles and multiple users may have access to a single corporate profile.
Partners configure an application which requests access to profiles and upon approval from a user, who is authorized to grant access to the profile, the application may perform actions on resources owned by the profile.
Action Endpoint
Retrieving a single profile /profiles/{profileId}
Retrieving balances for a single profile /profiles/{profileId}/balances
Retrieving orders for a single profile /profiles/{profileId}/orders
Place order for profile /profiles/{profileId}/orders
Subscribe to order notifications /profiles/{profileId}/orders
Linking a wallet to a profile. /profiles/{profileId}/addresses
Orders manage the lifecycle of the emoney. As such an order is created when new emoney is issued and when it is redeemed, and they contain information about the currency, amount, and the blockchain address. In addition information about the payer (for issue orders) beneficiary (for redeem order) is available as the counterpart.
Order states
Orders can be in one of the following states:
State Description
placed The order has been created, but payment has not been received.
pending The order is being processed by Monerium.
processed The order has been processed successfully (approved).
rejected The order could not be processed by Monerium. The rejected reason is documented in the order rejectedReason field.
Order notifications
API consumers can either poll the orders endpoint periodically or subscribe to a websocket for order notifications. The websocket adheres to the standard WebSocket Protocol and familiar websocket libraries can be used to subscribe to them. For testing purposes the wscat utility can come in handy.
$ npm install -g wscat

The websocket server will periodically send a PING control frame, to which the websocket consumer must respond with a PONG control frame. In the case the PONG is not sent in a timely manner the websocket server will close the connection to preserve resources. Many libraries handle this logic for the developer.
The websocket will emit the same order three times, once for the following state changes:
1. placed - the initial state
2. pending - money has been received for issue orders or tokens have been burnt for redeem orders.
3. processed - the final state

Question: What happens in the end of The Silent Patient?
At the end of The Silent Patient, the police arrive at Theo’s home and read him Alicia’s final diary entry, which reveals him as the mas, and Theo feels an odd sense of relief that he has been caught.
What happens to Alicia at the end of The Silent Patient?
Who was the killer in The Silent Patient?
Who killed Gabriel in The Silent Patient?
Was Zoe a character in The Silent Patient?
Does Alicia speak in silent patient?
After the murder, she stops speaking entirely and is placed in the Grove, a secure psychiatric unit where Theo applies for a job six years later — expressly to meet, and treat, the still-silent Alicia.
Why did Alicia stay silent?
What is the message of The Silent Patient?
Is silent patient based on a true story?
I was in my thirties when I attended nursing school, and I took the year-long crash course to get it over with as a LPN (licensed practical nurse). I was blessed to be able to cram the crash course in a year.
Is Zoe the killer in the maidens?
Who is Morris the maidens?
What does the snow mean in The Silent Patient?
Who is Max in The Silent Patient?
Who is Max in The Silent Patient?
Yuri The head psychiatric nurse.
8 Lydia Alicia’s aunt.
Max Alicia’s lawyer. Gabriel’s brother.
9 Kathryn Theo’s wife. Aka: Kathy.
Why did Theo help Alicia?
Plus, it wasn’t his intended consequence either. He just wanted to open Alicia’s eyes – not actually kill anyone – he defintely didn’t mean to cause any harm to Alicia. So, yes, he wanted to help Alicia.
Why did Theo want Alicia?
Theo gets the job as Alicia therapist because he genuinely feels bad about what happened with her. However, Theo eventually figures out that Alicia does, in fact, recognize him as the masked man. He ends up killing her to protect himself, but not before she writes the truth in her diary.

What happens in cows book?
The novel follows 25-year-old Steven, who dwells in a faceless American city with his sadistic mother (“the Hagbeast”), his only friend a crippled dog named Dog. His life takes a dramatic turn when he takes a slaughterhouse job and is quickly initiated into the factory’s bloody and darkly sexual brotherhood.
Is cows a good book?
It’s a drawn out over the top ultimately boring read, it’s obvious the author only wanted to make a disturbing and shocking book for the sake of it. There are plenty of well written disturbing books with plot twists and character depth out there, Cows is not one of them. Don’t waste your money.
What genre is cows by Matthew Stokoe?

“But what is grief if not love persevering?”
From: WandaVision
Genre: Television
Who said it?: Vision
The story behind the quote: This week’s quote comes from the recently concluded WandaVision on Disney+. This is the first entry in Phase 4 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the first live-action television series to be released featuring Marvel’s characters. The show features Wanda Maximoff and Vision, two of the Avengers that have appeared in the earlier films.
The quote comes from the 8th episode “Previously On.” As seen in a flashback, Wanda (played by Elizabeth Olsen) is grieving over the death of her twin brother, Pietro, during the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron. Vision (played by Paul Bettany) tries to comfort her. Wanda tries to explain the metaphorical weight of her sadness to Vision. Vision tries to explain that he’s never experienced grief like Wanda’s as he’s never really lost anyone. This is when he delivers the quote.
Geek wisdom: Grieving is known for being a negative emotion as it’s overwhelming sadness. However, the only reason why we feel this level of sadness is because of the love we feel for that person we lost. The grief is actually the love we feel for that person. It’s a reminder that we loved once and that love will remain within us. Hence, grief is love persevering.

9/11 families fire back to Jan 6 claims
Good for them!
1/6 was not a riot. 9/11 could EASILY be classified as a politically (Bush) motivated riot. Read up on the Bush family history if you think that's not true. You'll be shocked at what you discover, I guarantee it.
On 1/6 one person was killed - - an unarmed woman was killed by a less-than-stable "police officer" who's record was less than stellar.
People who did nothing "wrong" are still in jail a year later, and yet no one seems to care and no one is bothering to do anything about it. I don't really understand why Trump himself is not looking into this matter.
Doesn't anyone but me find that very strange?
A government which robs Peter to
pay Paul can always depend on
the support of Paul.

5 Ways to Increase Your Self-Control
Self-control is the ability to resist short-term temptations in order to achieve long-term goals. It’s that moment when you know you should probably not eat that last slice of cake, but you do it anyway because it tastes so good. Self-control is a limited resource, so exercising self-control in one area makes it more difficult to exert self-control in another area. To give an example: If you go to the gym and exhaust your self-control by running on the treadmill for 45 minutes, it will be harder for you to then practice self-control by eating nothing but salad for the rest of the day. Self-control isn’t something that comes naturally to everyone. In fact, research has shown that only a third of people have high levels of self-control. But there are ways to increase your level of self-control if you fall into this category. Listed below are 5 proven methods:
Practice self-control in small ways
Before you try to tackle the big things in your life, you need to practice self-control in small, unrelated areas. If you put yourself in situations where you need to use self-control every day, you’re training yourself to use it even when it’s not convenient. One way to practice self-control is to set aside a specific amount of time each day for a non-urgent task. For example, you could spend 15 minutes a day using the quill and ink to write by hand. This is a task that is simple, but not so easy that you can do it without thinking. You can also practice self-control with your diet. If you regularly eat unhealthy food, you’re likely to have low levels of self-control. To increase your self-control, try to cut out junk food for a few weeks. This will help you build better-eating habits and improve your self-control.
Start with the habit you want to build
Self-control is a skill, and just as with any other skill, the more you practice, the better you will become. So you want to start with something that requires a high level of self-control. If you try to build your self-control in one area but neglect it in another, you’re going to make things harder for yourself. To increase your level of self-control, start by focusing on a habit that requires a lot of self-control. If you want to exercise more, you’re less likely to succeed if you don’t build up your self-control. The same thing goes for a diet change or quitting an addictive substance like caffeine.
Commit to a workout program
Working out is a great way to increase your self-control. In fact, researchers have found that you can build up your self-control in just two weeks. To do this, you need to commit to a program of regular, moderate exercise. Working out is beneficial because it helps you to develop self-discipline. It also allows you to let off steam and relax. Regular exercise can help you improve your diet and sleep patterns, which can help you get control of your life.
Use your breath to calm yourself
If you experience high levels of stress, it’s harder for you to exercise self-control. It might embarrass you to ask for the dessert menu at a restaurant, or you might just be too stressed out to hold a rational conversation with your boss. If you feel you are about to lose control, you can use your breath to bring yourself back to a state of calmness. There are several methods of doing this, but the most common is to breathe in through your nose for four seconds and then exhale through your mouth for eight seconds. You can also try to visualize something calming. You might imagine a beautiful beach, or you could try picturing your favorite place.
Ask yourself what matters most
When you really want something you know you shouldn’t have, ask yourself what matters most. Is that slice of cake really worth the hours you’re going to have to spend at the gym to burn off the calories? What matters most is different for everyone. For some people, it’s family. For others, it’s their professional goal. And for others, it’s their education. Ask yourself what matters most in your life, and whenever you feel like giving up, think about why you’re doing what you’re doing.
Self-control is an important part of leading a healthy, productive life. You can improve your self-control by practicing self-discipline in small ways, committing to a workout program, using your breath to calm yourself, and asking yourself what matters most. With these steps, you can increase your self-control and achieve your goals.

How many brain cells do you lose in a day?
The cells of our body tend to regenerate, for that it is only necessary to see the new skin after a small injury. For a long time, it was believed that neurons – the cells found in the brain – could not regenerate.
Recently, it has been discovered that some do, although to a lesser extent than the number of neurons that die per day. If you want to know a little more about this fascinating world inside our brain, you just have to keep reading.
In this article, we are going to answer the question ‘’How many brain cells do you lose in a day?’’ We will discover what neuronal death is, its causes and how many neurons you lose and gain in a day.
How many brain cells do you lose in a day?
People can lose about 10,000 neurons every day. A figure that if we add it up, a year represents the loss of more than three and a half million.
When one approaches the age of 20, one begins to lose neurons. The numbers appear to be alarming, as approximately 50,000 neurons are lost a day. By the time you reach 75 years of age, you will have lost 10% of the neurons in your brain.
Although we have lost neurons, we do not become more “dumb”, but the remaining neurons build new branches of fibers and new synapses between them, in a way that replaces the losses.
Scientists even believe that when a neural circuit is made, new neural cells could be a problem rather than a benefit, since it would interrupt the flow of information and deactivate the brain’s communication system.
Why do neurons die?
Neurons are the longest-lived cells in our body, however, many die in the course of our lives. Although this is a normal process, the loss of a greater number of neurons can in many cases be due to a disease in the brain.
Parkinson’s disease – neurons in charge of transmitting dopamine are lost, causing difficulty when performing movements – Huntington’s disease – a genetic mutation generates an increase in glutamate, which kills neurons in the basal ganglia area, which produces uncontrollable movements
Alzheimer’s – unusual proteins are created in neurons of the hippocampus and neurocortex, causing memory loss when these cells die -, blows to the head or stroke, and injuries to the spinal cord are some of the causes of the massive death of neurons.
8 typical habits that kill neurons
One of the most complex structures in existence is the human brain, but it is also relatively weak.
A wide range of situations can disturb the balance you need to remain in good health and, in particular, are significantly impaired by unhealthy behaviors that kill our neurons.
The well-being of neurons is also conditioned in the same way that our nerve cells intervene in thousands of processes that affect our lives, what we do and the habits we follow. And, because there are so many in our brain, we often don’t know that we’re leaving so many on the way, little by little, more than would be usual for our generation.
That is why it is important to consider these behaviors that kill neurons if we want to remain in good health today and in the future.
This list of habits and customs that harm our brain’s health includes acts and states that wear down our mental capacities by omission or commission, some of them in the short term and regardless of the lasting harm they cause. Let’s find out what they are.
1. Stress
Stress not only makes us feel bad, it also destroys neurons, especially if it becomes chronic.
This happens because this condition is connected to a massive release of cortisol, a hormone used to redirect energy to biological processes that offer the here and now more priority in order to get out of urgent problems.
One of the side effects of cortisol in large amounts is that neurons are more neglected and, moreover, the immune system is weakened.
2. Inadequate sleep
There are several studies that correlate chronic lack of sleep with the death of neurons and the decrease of some areas of the brain, including the hippocampus.
This form of damage causes issues with long-term memory, and also affects the ability to focus.
3. The Monotony
Monotony-based lifestyles make the number of ways in which neurons communicate with each other smaller, and this causes the least used ones to die. It’s that simple: disappearing nerve cells that can’t be harnessed.
4. Take drugs
This is one of the drugs’ best known results. Chemical addiction lets all mental functions go to get a fresh dose, neglecting the nervous system’s maintenance activities.
On the other hand, interference into the activity of neurons by foreign substances causes many of them to age and die prematurely.
5. Tobacco Use
Technically speaking, tobacco is both a medication, but we should not be shocked by this: that it is legal does not guarantee that it is not dangerous. Its drugs are capable of creating a very extreme addiction and destroying our neurons permanently.
6. In polluted areas, breathing
The brain is one of the human body’s most resource-consuming collection of organs. Despite the fact that the blood-brain barrier protects us from many of them, a significant number of the poisonous particles that we consume everyday will end up there.
7. Dehydrate
It is important to quench it as soon as possible when we realize that we are thirsty, because otherwise our body will begin to drain water from the cells of our body, causing some to die. And yes, neurons as well.
8. Working with a fever
We are especially vulnerable when we are sick, and any behavior that involves effort can force our bodies to the point that permanent harm takes place at the microscopic level. It is much easier to let them take care of us in those circumstances and stop thinking about secondary problems.
A healthier life for the maintenance of brain health
In short, our neurons are impaired by several detrimental day-to-day behaviors. While we can at first assume that the body is damaged by a carefree lifestyle that does not take health into account and that’s it, it is important to note that our brain is part of that body.
They are not two different entities, just as there is no inherent distinction between matter and mind; dualism has been discarded in psychology and science in general.
That’s why, despite the fact that the results on the latter are not instantly visible and are more masked by the lack of a mirror in the one to verify its status, healthy life would have a positive influence on both the appearance of our body and the good condition of our mental functions.
It could be a good start to live healthier by eliminating these neuron-destroying behaviours.
The neurons that regenerate
The truth is that in the brain we have two types of cells: on the one hand the stars, the neurons; on the other, glial cells. The former is responsible for transmitting information, while the latter is a medium and are related to the storage of our memories, so they multiply rapidly.
Neurons, in turn, have the ability to divide in some cases, so that they can regenerate. Clear examples of this are the olfactory neurons.
But why don’t most neurons regenerate? Most of your neurons are created while you are still inside your mother’s belly. And once they are created, they remain that way until the moment you die.
Many cells in the rest of the body do not divide, but the truth is that they do change over time – for example, they grow – and the same happens with our brain.
When we are born, the brain weighs around 350 grams, and when we die it usually weighs about a kilo more, that means that, although our neurons did not grow in quantity, each one of them did so in weight and size. The number of glial cells also grows.
1,400 new neurons are born in the brain every day
Until a few years ago it was thought that, during adult life, the brain does not produce new neurons. However, this theory is not true, and now a team of scientists from the Karolinska Medical Institute (Sweden) has designed a technique based on the measurement of carbon 14 to determine how many cells are generated per day in the human brain.
To carry out their study, which is published in the journal Cell, the researchers have developed a curious method. During the 1950s, during the Cold War, nuclear tests produced an increase in carbon 14 in the atmosphere.
Through photosynthesis, this carbon was incorporated into plants and from there it spread throughout the food chain. Years later, nuclear testing ceased, and carbon-14 levels were lower again.
When cells duplicate their chromosomes, this carbon 14 is integrated into the genome and therefore constitutes a unique marker that indicates the age of these cells.
The researchers analyzed carbon 14 cells in the adult hippocampus by mass spectrometry and came to the conclusion that about 1,400 new neurons are produced in our brain every day, and this rate decreases as we age.
“For a long time it was thought that we are born with a certain number of brain cells and that it is impossible to generate new neurons after birth,” explained Jonas Frisén, one of the authors.
“Later it began to be thought that there is a certain renewal rate, but it was not known in what quantity, nor its importance for brain function. In this study we have provided evidence that neurogenesis exists in the hippocampus throughout life, suggesting that new neurons may contribute to human brain function. “
Did you know the number of neurons that die per day? What other things would you like to know about the brain, the most wonderful and enigmatic organ of our body?
FAQS: How many brain cells do you lose in a day?
How many cells do you lose a day?
Humans lose approximately 100000000000 cells a day.
How many brain cells do you lose an hour?
In an hour, approximately 500 neurons can be lost.
How many brain cells do you gain a day?
1,400 new neurons are born in the brain every day.
Can you lose brain cells?
Neurons die when we age because they accumulate waste and defects that cause them to lose their function and degenerate. This natural process is limited to a few neurons but is exacerbated in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s or Alzheimer’s diseases.
Does sneezing kill brain cells?
No, sneezing doesn’t kill brain cells.
In this article, we answered the question ‘’How many brain cells do you lose in a day?’’ We discovered what neuronal death is, its causes and how many neurons you lose and gain in a day.

Parents Sue Over School Lessons
It was said from the beginning that BLM was nothing more than the strong arm of the democratic party, and in due time all the truth will surface.
There are news paper articles from 20 or 30 years ago where Joe Biden is on record calling black people animals, yet black people love him and he gets elected president during a time when racism is supposed to be at an all time high. Why? Because Obama is really calling the shots.
The other day I said in a post, the people who’ve been given an opportunity to enforce coronavirus guidelines, force people to wear masks, and pretty much, force people to get vaccinated have gotten so power hungry, and their ego’s have been inflated so much they don’t want it to end.
And that’s the issue with organizations like BLM, Antifa, etc. When does it stop? How will it stop? It’s stops when their greed for power exposes them for what they really.
Trying to change a schools curriculum is greed. Psychologically abusing children is greed. Making a white child feel guilty and sorry just for being white is not only greed, but it’s insanity exposed, and just because the teacher is white doesn’t make it right.
I was an early childhood education teacher, and I loved my students. All of my students. I’m trying to think what kind of individual would do that to a child or a group of children, and what kind of teacher would do that to his or her students?
All of these books, and all of these courses that are psychologically abusive to children have to go. They’re causing more harm than good.…/nat…/article252182793.html
Since March 12, 2020, the day when the school district I was substitute teaching in closed immediately because of the coronavirus, I’ve been following.
From the economy closing, to the protests over first amendment rights, illegal stay-at-home orders and illegal lockdowns, to the George Floyd murder and the riots, destruction, murder and violence that ensued for months afterwards, I’ve been following. I saw the hostility and anger as our country’s historical monuments and statues were destroyed and ripped down.
Nooz Buffet has always been about equality. We will always be about equality. Human lives matter. All lives matter. Now more than ever is the time for people to be leaders and not followers. If something doesn’t feel right to you then call it out.
It doesn’t matter what color you are, you should never feel embarrassed, guilty, or ashamed.
Have a good night and a blessed day tomorrow.

5. Recommendation to your client telling which stock they should purchase and why. In the explanation, list at least three key points that you learned from your analysis that were deciding factors in your decision.
6. References: remember to have citations for anything that is quoted or paraphrased. Even if you write it in your own words, include a reference. Adding your references as you go will save you lots of time at the end and will help prevent reference omissions. All of the above can be presented in a variety of ways within your Word document, such as bullet points, tables, paragraphs, pictures, etc. Choose presentation methods that you find appealing, however, remember to review the rubric and think about the message you portray. For instance, the history of your company should be a story, not bullet points. Use Calibri font, size 11, single spacing between lines.
The easiest way to present tables is to create them in Excel, then copy/paste the table. Remember that if you insert a table of any sort, the data should be referenced in the discussion. I’m more interested in your explanation of what everything means than in the tables themselves.

Cleansing Rituals That Soothe Skin and Soul
Cleansing Rituals That Soothe Skin and Soul
Quite a few folks are rethinking their cleansing rituals. All through the pandemic, freed from place of work arrival times some discovered the pleasure of residing in the minute, embracing a freshly identified respite in cleaning rituals that soothe the pores and skin and soul. They attempted anything new. Many others admittedly identified minor time for personalized cleanliness whilst tending to loved ones, career requires, and wellbeing anxieties.

Video Numerology Enter Name And Date Of Birth
Numerology is a pseudoscientific belief system that holds that the numerical values of letters and numbers have some mystical, divine relationship. It is often associated with the paranormal, astrology, or divinatory arts. But, what is it really? Is there any scientific basis for numerology? Read on to find out. Until then, it remains a mysterious, paranormal, and magical science. I will be examining some basic concepts of numerology in this article and answering the question “What is Numerology?”
Numerology holds that each number is associated with a specific energy vibration. Numerologists use numerology to calculate your life path number in order to determine what vibrations you have. It is comparable to your sun sign in astrology, and can tell you what general themes and directions your life will take. Your full birth date is the best way to calculate your life-path number. You should then compare this number to the themes and characteristics of the people in your life.
The ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras, who was known for his knowledge of numerology, used numbers to make predictions. He believed that numbers had meaning and that they were universal. In addition, he also believed that numbers are interconnected. In other words, numbers are what make things happen. These numbers play an important role in the world that we live in. And, in our lives, they help us understand our personal destiny.
The third house is related to your communication. Numerology considers the number 3 to be one of the most creative houses. The number 3 represents the creative arts, and many people with this number have natural talent in these areas. Writing and public speaking can enhance your charm and self-expression.

Here, we present the first long-term demographic data for the northernmost population of the mantled howler monkey (\textit{Alouatta palliata}). We followed 10 groups of howler monkeys living in a highly fragmented landscape between 2000 and 2011. Forest fragmentation did not seem to play a major role in the dynamics of our population, as the population size remained relatively stable over the 10-year study period, and birth rates and inter-birth intervals were comparable to those of howler monkeys at other sites. Moreover, dispersal events were commonplace, particularly secondary dispersal (individuals emigrating from groups that they had previously immigrated into), which supports the suggestion that this may be an important component of the reproductive strategy of the mantled howler monkey. Finally, we found a marked effect of seasonality on the population dynamics of our study population. In particular, the period of lowest temperatures and resource scarcity between November and March was associated with higher mortality and reproductive inhibition, while the period of resource abundance between April and May was associated with the majority of conceptions and weaning of offspring. This, in turn, could be influencing dispersal patterns in our study area, as male howler monkeys seem to time some of their immigrations into new groups to coincide with the start of the period of higher fertility, while females preferentially joined new groups several months before the onset of this period. }, volume = 3, pages = {e800v1}, journal = {PeerJ PrePrints}, issn = {2167-9843}, url = {https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.800v1}, doi = {10.7287/peerj.preprints.800v1} }

People often use the terms digital signatures and electronic signatures interchangeably, unaware of the differences between the two.
Electronic signatures encompass all paperless signing methods and are classified into three categories:
• standard electronic signatures
• advanced electronic signatures
• qualified electronic signatures
Digital signatures, however, only include the electronic signing methods that meet the requirements for advanced or qualified electronic signatures. Therefore, standard electronic signatures are not digital signatures.
What sets a digital signature apart from a standard electronic signature is that the former provides absolute certainty about the signer’s identity, while the latter doesn’t.
Digital signature solutions rely on hashing algorithms, public-key encryption, and digital certificates to authenticate signers and protect the integrity of signed documents.
On the other hand, standard electronic signatures use far less secure technology. Therefore, they can never fully identify the signer or make sure that the document has not been altered after signing.
Do you want to know more about the other differences between a digital signature and an electronic signature? Are you wondering which one of the two you should use? Then keep reading.
Digital signatures vs. electronic signatures
The most important differences between digital signatures and electronic signatures concern signer authentication, content integrity, non-repudiation, and legal validity.
1. Signer authentication
Digital signatures are based on PKI, a technology that verifies the identity of the signers using digital certificates issued by Trust Service Providers.
An example is signing a document using an electronic ID. The signer has sole control over their eID data, so no one can use it to create a signature on their behalf.
In case of a dispute, digital signatures can unequivocally authenticate the signer.
However, the same cannot be said about standard electronic signatures. These signatures either don’t have any way to check the signer’s identity or use imperfect methods such as email or text messages.
Such methods are fallible because email accounts can easily get hacked. As a result, one can never be one hundred per cent sure about who really signed the documents.
2. Document integrity
Digital signatures use hashing algorithms and public-key encryption to check if any changes were made to the document after signing. If the document has been altered, the digital signature is invalidated.
On the other hand, most standard electronic signature makers can’t detect edits to the document after signing.
However, standard electronic signatures made with Penneo Sign are an exception. Our software also uses a hashing algorithm for documents signed with simple e-signatures to ensure their integrity.
3. Non-repudiation
Since digital signatures provide proof of the signer’s identity and ensure the integrity of the signed document, the signer can’t dispute the signature.
Conversely, electronic signatures can easily be disputed. If there is not enough proof to sustain them, they will not hold up in court.
4. Legal value
The eIDAS regulation states that digital signatures have the same legal effect as traditional pen-and-paper signatures. Therefore, a valid digital signature will always be enforceable.
While standard electronic signatures are also admissible as evidence in court, the judge will have to decide on a case-by-case basis if the signature is enforceable or not.
Therefore, we recommend always using digital signatures for important business documents such as annual reports, employment contracts, confidentiality agreements, etc.
Please note that there are still some situations where a handwritten signature is required, and these exceptions are different for each Member State.
Digital signatures vs. electronic signatures
Electronic Signatures Digital Signatures
Signer authentication Can’t authenticate the signer with absolute certainty Can always authenticate the signer with one-hundred percent certainty
Content integrity Can’t always detect changes to the contents of the document after signing Can always detect if any changes were made to the content after signing
Legal validity Up to the court to decide whether a document signed with an electronic signature is legally binding Documents signed with valid digital signatures are always legally binding
What types of signatures does Penneo provide?
Penneo provides both standard electronic signatures and digital signatures.
To create a standard electronic signature (Touch signature) in Penneo, you can either draw/type your signature or insert a picture of it in the document.
To create a digital signature via Penneo, you can use either one of the following eIDs: itsme®, NemID, Swedish BankID, Norwegian BankID, Finnish Bank ID, and Mobiilivarmenne.
We encourage you to use digital signatures when possible since the documents signed with them are always legally binding and can’t be repudiated.

Call of the Night – 05 – Feel Them for Me
This week starts off with a day/night in the life of Nanakusa Nazuna…at least before the sun goes down. It’s not even 17:00 when she sun wakes her (but notably does not burn her). The ensuing events are a glorious festival of boredom as she tries to fill time she’d normally be asleep.
When she’s sick of video games and TV and considering cleaning, she heads out into the night (at just 20:00), plays with a kitty, then hits up a not-busy-at-all bathhouse where she finally releases her lilac locks from her trademark braid loops and laments her inability to see her reflection.
While she asks the desk guy to tell her when her watch beeps, his reflexes are no match for hers (though for a split second when she threw open the bath door he saw her nude, the next split second she’d wrapped herself in a towel). Her coat, sneakers, and long hair make for an entirely new, cute look Kou isn’t ready for.
They head back into the bath (on separate sides, natch) and an inner monologue from Kou ensues. His nights of late have been fun and amazing, but his “heart is always busy” with thoughts good and bad, conflicting and confusing. He’s so busy sifting through those emotions he completely blanks out…until Nazuna gets right in his face.
That’s when he asks her to drink his blood. Because as it turns out, when she does, it clears his head, calms him down, and allows him time to assess the feelings he normally couldn’t untangle. He gets his blood sucked to know his own feelings. But precisely because he’s so riled up, his blood tastes so good Nazuna drinks more than usual.
Not in a discriminating mood due to his fatigue, Kou suggests they rest as the nearest place that says it’s for “rest”…which turns out to be a love hotel. The pink neon lights were a dead giveaway to me, but I didn’t just get my neck drained, now did I? That said, once they’re in the room, the fact Nazuna is jumping on the bed like a kid makes things a little less tense.
Nazuna then reveals to Kou that when she drinks his blood, she can also get an idea of what he’s thinking and feeling from the taste, including the desires he has when he looks at her, a woman. Kou tells her it feels “immoral” to feel that way with a “friend”, but she retorts that enjoying the night the way they are is immoral to most.
Nazuna reminds them they have a deal because his blood tastes so good, and now he knows why: because of the intensity and diversity of emotions hanging out with her creates. She wants to taste all of his fun, pain, joy, sadness, and everything in between.
Another night, Kou’s mind starts churning again, deducing that because she finds his blood so tasty, it means she’s drunk the blood of others in order to compare. Even if he weren’t an open book, Nazuna knows his feelings through his blood, so she teases him for being jealous, but also makes it clear it’s a much more businesslike affair for other men and women since she makes her living…as a professional snuggler.
The whole idea of this is super raunchy, but that’s reductive thinking for someone who has only begun to enjoy the call of the night. She offers a friend’s discount for her services, and he orders the massage course. Not only does he learn something new about Nazuna, which he’s always eager to do, but he learns she’s actually quite good at massage, and using various pressure points to redirect blood and oxygen flow.
Nazuna is about to transition from massage to blood drinking (and the lights in the room suddenly go dark and everything is suffused with that intense, intimate red light) when there’s an unexpected ring of the doorbell: one of her clients. Nazuna has not been working since she met Kou (resulting in her being a little light on funds, but after working on Kou, she’s tired, so she asks him to take care of the client.
…The twenty-four-year-old, raven-haired, stressed office worker client Shirakawa Kiyosumi, that is. Kou is worried about not knowing what to do (among other things), but Nazuna tells him just to emulate what she did to him and he’ll be fine. Also, since she knows a healthy measure of his thoughts and feelings every time she goes to the red well, she offers him the reward of another kiss if he does this for her.
Kiyosumi may ether be throwing her money away tonight, or Kou may be a natural at massage and just not know it. The bottom line is that both the night and Nazuna are opening new doors and new experiences for Kou.

Does Sauerkraut Go Bad?
Sauerkraut has a lot of health benefits from probiotics to containing vitamins C and K, potassium, calcium, and phosphorus. Because of the health benefits, you may be adding it to your diet and might be wondering how long it lasts. This article will answer that question.
Sauerkraut has a pretty long shelf life before it turns bad. This is due to it being preserved in a saltwater solution. The saltwater brine extends the shelf life of the sauerkraut because the pickling solution helps stop bacterial growth. Improper storage is the leading cause of sauerkraut going bad quickly. Refrigerated sauerkraut can stay fresh for around 4-6 months. Sauerkraut can be stored in the freezer for 8-12 months.
There are a lot of different ways to buy and make sauerkraut and the shelf life and storage technique varies depending on which one you have. Read on to find out how to get the longest life out of your sauerkraut.
Does Sauerkraut Go Bad? How Long Does Sauerkraut Last?
Sauerkraut can be store-bought from the refrigerator section or canned vegetable section. Sauerkraut can also be homemade and is usually stored in jars. All of those factors affect the shelf life.
How Long Does Sauerkraut Last Outside?
The only sauerkraut that should be left out is sauerkraut that is sold unrefrigerated. If you keep it in an airtight container it will last a little longer. If not, it will go dry and flavorless.
If you bought the sauerkraut unrefrigerated and it is unopened, it can last anywhere from 3 to 6 months. You can keep it in a cool dry place such as the pantry.
If you bought the sauerkraut unrefrigerated but it has been opened, it should be used within 5 to 7 days. It does not do well in hot, humid environments.
How Long Does Sauerkraut Last In The Fridge
Sauerkraut that was bought refrigerated should remain refrigerated and can last anywhere from 4 to 6 months whether it has been opened or remains unopened.
If it’s been opened, it needs to be in an airtight container made of either plastic or glass. Glass jars are a popular way to store sauerkraut especially if it is homemade sauerkraut.
Once sauerkraut has been opened, if you take out a couple of forkfuls, make sure whatever sauerkraut remains in the container gets pushed down so it stays covered by the brine. Keeping it covered helps it last longer.
How Long Does Sauerkraut Last In The Freezer?
Sauerkraut can be kept in the freezer for about 8 to 12 months. If it has been constantly frozen at 0°F, it can be safe to eat indefinitely.
Since sauerkraut has such a long shelf life in the refrigerator, most people only freeze sauerkraut when they have an abundance of it that will not be eaten in a reasonable amount of time.
You can freeze cooked sauerkraut. Cooking and freezing it will likely kill all of the probiotics. Once cooked, frozen, then thawed, it needs to be used immediately or discarded. Don’t refreeze it.
Since sauerkraut comes in so many different containers with different ways to store it, being knowledgeable about it is the best way to get the longest life from your sauerkraut.
How To Tell If Sauerkraut Has Gone Bad/How To Tell If Sauerkraut Is Fresh
The best way to tell if your sauerkraut is fresh is to judge it based on the purchase date, best by date, or date on when you canned it. There are things to watch out for that are a sign your sauerkraut has gone bad and should be thrown out.
Smell it: Good sauerkraut should smell sour, similar to vinegar. If the smell is off or smells like it’s rotting, it has gone bad and should be thrown out.
Check the texture: Good sauerkraut should be firm. If the texture has changed or dried out it could be bad. This is a tricky part because if some cabbage has been left out of the brine, it could dry out. If that is the case, remove the top layer and what is underneath should be alright to eat.
How does it look?: Fresh sauerkraut should look firm and the bright green of the cabbage should fade to a pale white. There are different colors of mold that can grow on sauerkraut. If the mold is a greenish or grayish color, you can scrape it off and enjoy what’s left. If the mold is black or pink, dump the whole thing.
Taste it: If you’re unsure, taste the sauerkraut. If it doesn’t taste as it should, err on the side of caution and throw it out.
How To Store Sauerkraut
The best way to store sauerkraut is in the refrigerator. The cold helps stop bacterial growth and reduce the possibility of spoilage. Read on to see how it should be stored in the refrigerator.
What type of container did it come in: If the sauerkraut came in a glass container, you can store it in that. If it came in a tin can or a plastic bag, you should transfer it to a glass container or jar, or plastic container with an airtight seal.
Keep it submerged in brine: While in the fridge, it is still important for all of the sauerkraut to remain about a ½ inch under the brine. If there is not enough brine in the jar, add some filtered water to cover the sauerkraut.
Can You Freeze Sauerkraut?
Sauerkraut can be frozen and if done correctly, it can last almost indefinitely. Keep reading to see how to store sauerkraut.
Do so in small batches: Don’t freeze a large batch of sauerkraut in the same bag or container. It should be divided into single-serving portions. This is to help with the defrosting process.
Use bags: If the sauerkraut is in a jar, transfer it to a plastic bag or plastic container that can be used in the freezer.
Use a little less liquid: Reducing the liquids helps maintain the quality of the vegetable when the sauerkraut is thawed out.
Leave some space: Leave some space in the bag because the liquid in the sauerkraut will expand with frozen. Before you place the bag in the freezer, squeeze out as much air as you possibly can. If you have a vacuum sealer, that would be a great option to help store sauerkraut.
How To Thaw Sauerkraut
Thawing out sauerkraut is pretty simple and there are a few ways to do it.
Defrost it in the refrigerator: Move it from the freezer to the fridge the night before you want to use it. This method will let the sauerkraut for 3 to 5 days.
Defrost it in the microwave: Place it in the microwave and heat in 10-20 second increments until defrosted. If you use this method, the sauerkraut should be used right away.
Defrost on the countertop: Place the package of sauerkraut on the countertop for a few hours depending on the size of the bag.
Defrost it in cold water: Place the package of sauerkraut in a sink of cold water and use immediately when ready.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sauerkraut’s Shelf Life
If you still have questions about sauerkraut and how long it lasts, see the answers to some frequently asked questions.
Why does my homemade sauerkraut have fizz/bubbles?
Why does my homemade sauerkraut have fizz/bubbles? When you are fermenting your cabbage in the saltwater brine, it may produce some gases. Those gases then push their way out of the packed sauerkraut. This will result in bubbles in the jar and possibly a bulging lid. This is a perfectly normal side effect of unpasteurized sauerkraut and is most likely to appear in the first 2-4 days of the fermentation process.
Does freezing sauerkraut kill the probiotics? Sauerkraut has trillions of probiotics which are beneficial bacteria that aid in digestion and promote health. Probiotics are sensitive to temperature and many may die from being frozen. Some of the good bacteria could survive by lying dormant but cooking once frozen sauerkraut will likely kill all of the probiotics.
Sauerkraut can be made at home or bought at the store canned, bagged, or refrigerated. I hope you now have the confidence to tell fresh vs. bad sauerkraut and how to store it properly to ensure you get the longest life out of it.

Debat Lim Guan Eng lawan Abdul Rahman Dahlan: 15 Soalan Abdul Rahman Dahlan kepada Lim Guan Eng
Secara Rawak
KUALA LUMPUR: Ketika rakyat ternanti-nanti untuk menonton debat antara pengarah strategik Barisan Nasional Datuk Abdul Rahman Dahlan dengan Ketua Menteri Pulau Pinang, kedua-duanya telah mengemukakan 15 soalan masing-masing untuk debat berkenaan. Rahman Dahlan, Menteri Kesejahteraan Bandar, Perumahan dan Kerajaan Tempatan, ketika ini berada di luar negara telah mencabar Lim untuk mengeluarkan 15 soalan ketika Rahman Dahlan sendiri telah mengeluarkan soalan kepada Lim.
Debat ini yang dijangka disiarkan melalui sama ada TV1 atau TV3 — yang bersedia menjadi stesen penyiaran — mengingatkan kita tentang debat antara Menteri Penerangan Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek dengan Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim bertajuk “Bentuk kerajaan hari ini, esok harga minyak turun” ketika harga minyak naik beberapa tahun lalu.
Siapakah yang dapat menjawab dengan meyakinkan menggunakan dalil, fakta, dan bukti?
Meskipun faktor lain penting dalam debat, seperti bahasa, retorik, bahasa badan, suara, dan keyakinan, namun bagi debat ini, sejauh mana kedua-duanya dapat menjawab 15 soalan berkenaan dan soalan-soalan lain, akan menentukan siapa yang bakal menang, atau ditanggapi menang di mata penonton.
Isu debat adalah berkaitan tentang pembelian tanah di Taman Manggis, Pulau Pinang.
Two days ago, I promised to release some of my “Soalan-soalan Bongkar” for YAB CM Lim Guan Eng. This is so that to prepare his answers, and make full use of the period during which I am on an overseas trip – a trip I had planned a long time ago.
These are just some of the questions that I plan to ask:
(1) Request for Proposal (RFP) awarded to a financially doubtful company.
Please explain why the Taman Manggis RFP was awarded to KLIDC in 2010 when the audited statement for KLIDC Sdn Bhd for that year had stated KLIDC had negative assets, including an Auditor’s “Emphasis of Matter” stating that there existed significant doubts as to whether the company could continue as a going concern?
If your answer is that you were not aware of it at the time of the award, were steps taken to ask the company to rectify its position?
(2) Land allegedly too small for a 17-floor flat, but big enough for 30-floors hotel/medical centre.
Why did you use the excuse that the Taman Manggis land was too small for a 17-floor low-cost housing project (meant for the poor and low-income Penangites), but the very next year after the RFP had been awarded to KLIDC – the same piece of land was big enough for a 30-floors hotel/service apartments complex and medical centre?
(3) Commercial value substantially increased via land use changes granted by state government
Do you agree that the commercial value of the Taman Manggis land would have increased substantially after the state government changed the land use conditions from 100% medical centre to one that allowed a 30-storey high-rise complex comprising of 70% hotels/service apartment and 30% medical centre just one year after the RFP was awarded to KLIDC?
After this shocking change in land use conditions (made after the tender was awarded) was exposed on social media, this approval was subsequently changed by the state government to 33% hotel/apartment and 66% medical facilities. Do you agree that this is a serious breach of the tender process that gave KLIDC an unfair advantage over other bidders?
(4) Planning and Building approval given to a company with no reported employees and revenues.
Please explain why did the Penang state government still approve the planning and building approvals to KLIDC – despite KLIDC showing negative net assets, zero employees and no revenues – even to the extent of renewing and extending the Taman Manggis leasehold terms up to the maximum allowable 99 years in April 2015?
(5) Will you apologise to me?
KLIDC owner, Datuk Tang Yong Chew, confirmed in his interview with Nanyang that the sales agreements were indeed signed. This is exactly what I had exposed. Will you apologise to me for calling me “Menteri Khabar Angin”, when I have revealed the actual agreements (duly signed and stamped), which are now confirmed to be in existence?
(6) Was KLIDC reprimanded for attempt to flip the land via a backdoor sale of all shares of the company?
Why was the Penang government not aware of this backdoor attempt to sell the land (purely intended to make a windfall profit)? Why hasn’t the Penang state government reprimanded the owner for attempting to sell the land (meant for the poor and low-income Penangites) though this backdoor transaction?
(7) Land and project valuation now closer to RM70.6m from RM11.5m despite no physical work having been done on land in almost 6 years
If KLIDC were to be purchased for a total of RM70.6 million (as per the exposed signed and stamped agreements) and was done for the purpose of obtaining bank financing (as revealed by the KLIDC owner), would you agree that RM70.6 million is a good indicator of the true value of the Taman Manggis land and project – despite there not having been any physical development on the land for close to 6 years?
(8) No progress on Penang projects after 6 years.
Is it normal practice that a privatisation project by the Penang state government be left idle and undeveloped for almost 6 years without invoking any cancellation, reprimands or penalties to the party that had been awarded the RFP?
(9) BN’s timely expose might have stopped backdoor sale of land
According to the stamped and signed share-sales agreements, the final date for payment was on the 22nd March 2016.Do you agree that YB Datuk Shabuddin Yahya’s timely exposure of the under-priced bungalow, and Taman Manggis scandal in Parliament earlier on the 17th March 2016 might have stopped the completion of the sale?
(10) Penang government land deals of tens of billions raises valid concerns from the public
Since the year 2008, the Penang government has been involved in various state land sales and reclamation rights deals allegedly worth between RM30 billion to RM40 billion. What is your assurance to the Penang’s rakyat that there are no similar backdoor deals that will help the unscrupulous to reap windfall profits from under-valued state land at the expense of the rakyat?
(11) Phang Li Koon may have sold her Bungalow at a lossIt is easy to
grasp that, when Phang Li Koon bought the 25 Jalan Pinhorn bungalow she must have secured a loan on the property to finance the purchase.
If this is the case, don’t you think it is safe to conclude that apart from letting go millions in profits from property price appreciation (accumulated for 7 years in 2015) she would have lost substantial amount of money when she sold you the bungalow at RM2.8 million – since the accumulated rental collected throughout the tenancy, and RM300k gross profit would not have been sufficient to cover legal costs, interest (estimated RM700k) and renovation cost she had confirmed to have incurred?
(12) Penang CM’s property price cheaper (on psf basis) as compared to Penang government’s affordable home scheme.
How will you explain to the buyers of state affordable housing in Penang that the price (per square foot) that they paid for their units (of up to RM400psf) is much higher than the price (per square foot) that you paid for prime land for your own home (RM275psf)?
(13) Hard to conceive that no one will check market value before making multi-million ringgit investment.
Do you think that it is reasonable that someone making a multi-million ringgit house purchase, and taking out a RM2.1 million loan will not, at least, do a check on the market value of the property that they intend to buy?
(14) Please confirm if you know JPPH’s valuation price and/or market price at time of purchase.
Putting aside the nonsensical ‘no swimming pool’, ‘bad fengshui’, ‘cultural prejudice’ and ‘suka-sama-suka’ answers forwarded recently by DAP leaders, can you confirm once and for all whether or not you were fully aware that the property that you bought was below JPPH valuation and market value?
(15) Phang Li Koon is long-time employee who became business partner to KLIDC’s owner.
The owner of KLIDC had recently admitted to the press that Miss Phang Li Koon was his employee for over 20 years whom he later made his business partner to manage his business in Penang.Were you aware of this relationship when you purchased the bungalow in 2015?
Soalan tersebut dikemukakan bagi memudahkan kedua-dua pihak membuat penyelidikan dan menyediakan bukti dan testimoni, tetapi sejauh mana mereka dapat menjawab dengan yakin banyak menentukan prestasi di kaca TV.-

When your ears are ringing after a night out, it means the music you were exposed to was too loud. This is a symptom called tinnitus and is common among partygoers, however, 1 in 10 people suffer from permanent tinnitus.
We won't get into the details* but prolonged exposure to loud music can cause temporary or permanent tinnitus as well as hearing loss, which if you (like most of us) want to enjoy the sweet sound of music for the rest of your life, is not ideal.
Class is in session so get set for Hearing 101. Imagine two categories; safe range and risk range. The below chart lists common sounds and their decibel levels.
Safe Range
30db = Whisper
40db = Refrigerator
60db = Normal conversation
75db = Dishwasher
Risk Range
85db = Heavy city traffic
95db = Motorcycle
110db = Clubs and concerts
120db = Ambulance siren
The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) safe noise level is 70 decibels. Clubs and venues play music that reaches up to 115 decibels. The louder the noise, the less time it takes to cause permanent hearing damage. The below chart lists decibel levels and the maximum job-noise exposure allowed by law. If it's anything to do with the law, you know it's serious.
Max Time Exposure at Decibel Levels
95db = 4 hours
100db = 2 hours
105db = 1 hours
110db = 30 minutes
115db = 15 minutes
So remember before when we said clubs and venue music can reach up to 115 decibels? That means if clubbing was our job and duty, we would legally only be allowed to dance for 15 minutes, without hearing protection.
That's where Sets comes in - with 23 decibels of premium protection, you'll be able to protect your hearing without compromising sound quality.
30% of people globally suffer from some form of hearing loss - practice safe Sets™ and be in that 70%.
*Rumour has it, the inside of our ears are lined with hair cells. When we spend a night listening to music above what is safe for our ears for a long period of time, it causes some degree of hearing loss. As our body tries to heal and our brains rewire, our neurons end up in a self-sustaining loop, hence the ringing.
Product Care
Congrats, You’re In For The Perfect Frequency.
Sets™ provides 23dB of premium hearing protection without compromising on sound, quality or comfort.
Meeting Your Sets™
We hope you're as excited as we are to protect your hearing. You may find that your Sets stick to their case, making them a bit stubborn to tap out. To avoid this, remove your earplugs from the small pouch and rub them in between your hands for a few seconds. This warms them up so they easily slip into your ears and the aluminium case.
Wearing Your Sets™
Push the ear plug into your ear canal until it forms a comfortable seal. It may help to twist them in so they are sitting right. You will know they are in properly if they feel snug. Do not insert your Sets™ past your outer ear canal and always make sure the tag at the base of the earplugs are accessible.
To remove your Sets™ gently pull them out of your ear canal using the small tags at the base of the earplug.
Caring For Your Sets™
Sets™ brings you sustainable club solutions. They’re designed to be used again and again. To clean, simply wipe your Sets™ with a damp cloth after each use and store them in their case. For a deeper clean, remove the plastic attenuation filter at the base and submerge the soft outer into warm, soapy water. Leave to air dry, then re-insert the filter.
Sets™ should be replaced every 3 years for optimal results or if there is any sign of wear and tear.
Warning: Choking hazard, keep out of reach of children under 3 years.
Reusable earplugs - size medium (standard)
Nominal Diameter: 7.5mm to 12.1mm Standards adhering to EN 352-2:2020
The effectiveness of Sets™ replies on the above instructions and is dependant on factors such as the user's ear canals and the exposed volume. Please do not use Sets™ if the earplugs do not fit your ears and in situations where more protective hearing equipment is required. Hearing damage due to high volumes correlates with exposure time and decibel level.
Although Sets™ provides quality hearing protection, hearing damage may still occur if the conditions are unfavourable. If you cannot remove the earplug from your ears, or it has damaged the ear, please seek medical attention.

Connect Solar Panel to Inverter without Battery
Can you connect solar panels to an inverter without a solar battery backup system? Absolutely you can. A solar battery backup is not required to connect your home to a solar array with an inverter.
What You Need to Know About Connecting Solar Panels to an Inverter Without a Battery Backup System
You should know the different configurations for Solar Arrays so that you can choose the one that best fits your energy needs. You will also need to know what kind of inverter is the correct one.
Finally, it would help if you also understood how much energy your home or business requires during peak times of the year.
To be frank, You don’t need a solar battery backup system, but you do need an alternative energy source.
Here are some of the major points we’ll be covering, and I’ve got more you’ll need to know;
• Solar power types with/without batteries
• When batteries are not needed for solar
• What batteryless solar is right for you
Drilling Solar Panels On A Roof - Close-Up
Drilling Solar Panels On A Roof Close Up
What Types of Solar Array Configurations Are There?
There are three general types of solar array configurations, They include:
• Grid-Tied — solar arrays remain connected to the utility’s electrical grid.
• Off-Grid — solar arrays Are on their own as there is no connection to the utility’s electrical grid.
• Hybrid — solar arrays are connected to the utility’s electrical grid and have a solar battery backup system in place.
Why Are Solar Batteries Important for a Solar Array?
The reality is that solar batteries are not always essential. Much of how you answer this question comes down to how your home or business uses energy.
Solar batteries provide backup electricity when your solar array is not producing energy or not producing enough energy. Cloudy days are an example of when an array makes less energy.
When the sun is down, the solar array stops producing energy. Solar batteries would supply power until the sun came up and the array begins to produce energy.
They also provide energy when your home or business consumes more energy than the solar array is making.
When Do You Not Need Solar Batteries?
You don’t need a solar battery backup if your home or business is Grid-tied. The grid will provide the energy that you need when the solar array is not providing enough power, such as during the night.
You don’t need a solar battery backup system when you are off-grid; however, when the sun goes down, energy flow stops. Without a battery backup in an off-grid situation, you’d go to bed at sunset and get up when it rises.
Therefore, for most off-grid solar arrays, a battery backup is essential.
Why Does A Hybrid Solar Array Have Battery Backups and A Grid Connection?
A few reasons why a hybrid solar array has both a battery backup and a grid connection include:
• Grid Failure — is when power grids do go down. Most of the state of Texas can testify to that.
• Save Money — This is another reason homeowners or business owners want to save as much money as possible. They do that by storing excess energy in the battery system and then using it when the solar array is not producing enough electricity. They rely on the grid only when it is necessary.
A hybrid system is one of the best ways to ensure higher control over energy production and usage. But what happens when the grid fails? Homes go without electricity.
That is what happened in Texas during one of the coldest times of the year — No heat, no power to run electric stoves, no electronics, and people died.
What Type of Solar Array Is Best?
Each of the three types of solar array configuration we discuss is strengths and weaknesses. A grid-tied system is probably the least expensive of the three formats. That is because solar batteries are costly.
Off-Grid Situations
For an off-grid system to work well, a battery backup is essential. The exception would be for remote locations or in extreme areas where the temperature may affect the batteries.
The hybrid systems are generally the most expensive since you would need more batteries (typically) for full storage of all the excess energy your array produces.
However, they can also offer the most savings in that you primarily use the energy produced by your array and less energy from the grid.
Series Connection For Solar Panels - Sol Voltaics: Solar Panel Information
Series Connection For Solar Panels
What Solar Array Is Best For You?
The short answer is that the best solar array configuration comes down to:
1. How much energy does your home or business use?
2. How much self-reliance do you want in terms of energy dependency?
3. How much money do you want to save from annual energy bills?
How you answer these questions dictates which type of solar array is best for your home or business.
Why Do You Connect The Solar Array to An Inverter?
Solar panels create energy that becomes electricity, but it is a DC (Direct Current) form of electricity. Homes and businesses run on AC (Alternate Current.)
If you run DC voltage into an AC device, such as a refrigerator, it will burn up the motor and controls and ruin the refrigerator.
The same is true for all the electric appliances and electronic gadgets in your home —Boom! Burned out appliances. That’s a lot of damage.
You connect your solar array to an inverter to invert the DC voltage to AC voltage. When you do so, the electricity from the array becomes safe to use in your home or business. You also need to know what type of inverter your home needs.
There are different types of inverts, and they operate slightly differently from each other.
When You Connect Your Solar Array To an Inverter Without Battery Backup, Which Type of Inverter Do You Use?
When your Solar array does not have battery backup, you have a few types of inverters that work well.
The first is microinverters, which attach to each solar panel. They offer a high-efficiency rate and solve some problems that other types of inverts cannot solve.
The most common are string inverters, which handle the energy production from a string of panels.
Microinverters handle the energy production from one panel. String inverters handle the energy from many panels.
On par with microinverters are power optimizers, which act like a micro-inverter but are string inverters.
The difference is that they handle the energy from one panel rather than a string of panels.
How to use a hybrid Inverters without a battery
If you are not using a battery backup with your solar array and don’t plan to add batteries later, you would not need a hybrid inverter.
The strength of a hybrid inverter is that it can handle both AC and DC voltage simultaneously.
Therefore, the only reason to use a hybrid inverter without a battery backup system is when you plan to add batteries to the system later.
The DC energy flows into the inverter, becomes AC voltage, and then goes to the house or back into the grid with a string inverter.
With a hybrid inverter, the DC energy flows from the array to the inverter to the batteries, while the inverter also converts whatever power is available to AC voltage at the same time and sends it to the house.
It can also shuttle AC energy from the grid to the home or the batteries.
Should you Connect a Solar Array to an Inverter without a Battery Backup System?
Absolutely. That may or may not be the best configuration for your home or business. Still, many solar array installations connect the solar array to an inverter without a battery backup system.
Solar Panel Batteries FAQ
What type of battery is best for solar panels?
There are three main types of batteries used in solar systems:
1. AGM lead-acid batteries
2. Gel lead-acid batteries
3. Lithium-ion batteries
While they are far more expensive than lead-acid battery types, lithium-ion batteries are the longest-lasting, lightest, and most efficient choice for solar applications.
How long do solar panel batteries last?
In general, most solar batteries on the market today will last between 5-15 years, with lead-acid varieties on the low end and lithium-ion batteries on the high end. Of course, your batteries will need to be properly looked after and maintained to give them the longest possible lifespan.
What is the cost of solar panel batteries?
The cost of solar batteries depends on the type you choose for your system, but you can expect to pay roughly $400 per kWh on the low end, and $750 per kWh on the high end. Lithium-ion batteries are by far the most expensive but have more than double the life expectancy of other battery types.

Roast Chicken and Vegetables with Fall Spices
This weeknight dinner is the perfect, cozy meal to enjoy on a crisp Fall evening.
PIN Print
There's something about the smell of roasting chicken, potatoes, and butternut squash that make you nostalgic for fall. It reminds you of crisp fall days, huddled up with sweaters, sipping on a cup of warm soup, and enjoying a flavorful roast. This roast chicken with vegetables is naturally gluten-free and low in calories.
This recipe was provided by Kristine Kidd, author of Weeknight Gluten-Free.
Makes 4 servings
Chicken pieces, 2 3/4–3 lb (1.25 kg–1.5 kg)
Olive oil, 3 tablespoons
Sweet paprika, 2 teaspoons
Ground coriander, 2 teaspoons
Ground cumin, 2 teaspoons
Red pepper flakes, 3/4 teaspoon
Lemon zest, grated from 1 large lemon
Kosher salt, 1 teaspoon, plus more as needed
Freshly ground black pepper
Butternut squash pieces, 1 package (14–16 oz/440–500 g)
Fingerling potatoes, 1 lb (500 g), halved lengthwise
How To Make It
1. Position a rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Pat the chicken dry, and place in a large bowl; add 2 tablespoons of the oil and turn to coat. In a small bowl, mix the paprika, coriander, cumin, red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Set aside 1 tablespoon of the spice mixture for the vegetables; add the remainder to the chicken. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of black pepper to the chicken and turn to coat. Arrange the chicken, skin side up, on half of a large rimmed baking sheet.
2. Place the squash and potatoes in the same bowl. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, season lightly with salt and black pepper, and toss to coat. Add the reserved spice mixture, and toss to coat. Arrange the vegetables on the second half of the baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast until the chicken and vegetables are cooked through, about 25 minutes.
3. Transfer the chicken and vegetables to a warmed platter or 4 warmed plates and serve right away.

DnD IS THE GREATEST ROLE-PLAYING GAME OF ALL TIME!!! Hey guys! I'm Branden (or UnmercifulMaps). About Me: I'm a union actor/V.O. actor/Opera and Musical Theatre singer, fantasy cartographer, and terrain builder. Ive been a professional actor for over 10 years, and I've been DMing for ~10 years now (started with 4th edition). For a couple of years, I even ran the big dnd tables at Comic-Con/Fan Expo in Dallas, Texas. I started playing dnd in college. One day, a theatre friend was talking about one of their adventures in the green room, and I said, "Holy shit. That sounds awesome and super complicated! Where do I sign up?" He got me into one of his 4th edition games, and while it was hard to wrap my brain around, I couldn't help but be instantly attached, and I knew if I had enough patience, I could get enough experience to be confident and make my own game. So after college, we unfortunately went our separate ways, and I had to basically become my own DM if I wanted to continue playing dnd. From that moment, I've "inducted" so many ppl into the dnd world that had no idea what it even was! It's a beautiful feeling. This is an absolute passion of mine. I bleed dice. I curse more than a Mummy. ;p Role-playing fantasy characters is a joy that all other things just can't compare to. This IS called the greatest role-playing game, after all! I create games with a fun and lighthearted feel that are well suited to players of any experience level and play style that are not only exciting but also very inclusive to all walks of sentient life. With me steering your ship of adventure, you can guarantee your time and money are well spent, and you won't have to wonder which NPC is talking to your character ever again. Let the backstories overflow, and may our enemy's blood - doubly so!
GM style
So I LOVE roleplay. It gets me out of bed every morning. Ive always said that Dnd is THE best improv class for actors. Character voices are a big thing for me as well. Being a voice actor, getting to employ all my dialects, ticks, and mannerisms in various NPCs is an absolute joy. I will be honest and say that monster voices aren't my forte, as I don't have the voice for it, and don't want to develop any nodes or anything. I love working with character's backstories and implementing them into my games. I interweave them into the story and connect it to the world in such a way that makes groggy lore (to the players lol) seem exciting to uncover! As far as types of games go, I love and can do a variety of different kinds - sandboxy, gritty, lighthearted, adventure/exploratory, heisty, murder mystery, traditional dungeon delve, sea campaign, etc. The only type that I'm not the best with is a super political campaign. Look, I know a lot of the rules and spells, but sometimes the Rule of Cool is "cool" for a reason, ya know? As a DM, I have to be the impartial storyteller. However, I am NOT one of those God-complex DMs who get off on power trips. I'm here to make you feel like an absolute badass. By no means is it going to be easy. I'm going to make it challenging so you feel your victories are EARNED, but I'm not here to outright kill you. I'm not here to bash PCs into oblivion and bathe in their tears.

[R-sig-ME] random effects estimation in Lmer
Hester Lingsma h.lingsma at erasmusmc.nl
Tue Dec 15 09:16:29 CET 2009
Dear R-users,
I have a question on how the random effects are estimated in Lmer
I have a dataset with families with women who have breastcancer. The age
of cancer diagnosis is highly variable between the families. We want to
predict the age of cancer diagnosis (for screening purposes) for 'new'
family members. I have fitted a linear random effects model with lmer
1) with age at diagnosis as outcome, a random intercept for family, and
cancer type (three subtypes, on family level) in the fixed part.
I now want to make a regression formula (for a predction rule) which is of
course easy for the fixed part of the model (intercept + coefs for type)
more difficult for the random effect part.
My practical solution was the following: I fitted a new model (model 2) on
the familiy level aggregated dataset with the estimated random effect as an
outcome, and number of fam members and the distance between the expected
for the family based on type (the fixed part of model) and the observed
age, as predictors.
Model 2 has an R2 of 0.85 and the predicted ages (fixed part + the random
part as 'estimated' in model 2) for some families are 4 years away from the
posterior estimate (from model 1). So we want to do better. I tried some
polynomials in model 2, since we do not expect the effect of the parameters
to be linear, but it did not help a lot. I also included the within family
variance (the sd) in model 2 since I noticed that the predicted ages got
worse in families with high within family variance, also without much
So basically my question is: is there a (better) way to approximate the
random effects estimated in model 1, to formulate a 'random' part of the
regression formula/a predction rule?
Thank you very much in advance.
Hester Lingsma

What Causes The Mandela Effect
The Mandela Effect
The Mandela Effect, Named after the mass confusion surround the death of Nelson Mandela, is the name given to the phenomenon of the mass remembrances of events that seemingly never happened. The theory began with the aforementioned Nelson Mandela who passed away in 2013 despite a hefty majority of people remembering him dying in an African prison in the 1980s. Since then the community surrounding the Mandela Effect has grown rapidly as more residuals are discovered and more theories arise as to just how this all can possibly be happening. Before we dive into some of those theories, let’s break down some of the most iconic and recent Mandela Effects that may affect you.
The Berenstain Bears
No, you didn’t read that wrong and no, that’s not a typo. The spark that lit the fuse is largely attributed to these childhood storybook bears. Most often remembered as the “Berenstein Bears” even the most detailed search through the archives will show these bears have always been named the “Berenstain Bears”. While some residuals of old TV Guides and VHS tapes have surfaced, no source that can be traced back to the production or company responsible for these books or shows ever show them being spelt with an “e”.
… A box of chocolates
Everybody and their mother is familiar with the cultural classic that is Forest Gump. Even for those who haven’t seen it (Do you exist?) there is one quote from the film that has surpassed pop-culture. Go ahead and say it to yourself, It’s the catchphrase, The Slogan, The repetend line through out the film. Dis you say “Life Is like a box of chocolates”? If so, You’d be wrong. I know what you’re thinking, how could this be can hear Tom Hanks say it plain as day. I urge you to go back and watch that clip on YouTube, listen closely and hear that iconic line… “Life WAS like a box of chocolates”.
Who’s the Fairest of them all?
Yet another pop culture classic, Snow White. Admit it fellas, you know the quite too. Ya know, that famous quote, “Magic Mirror on the Wall, Who’s the fairest of them all?” That’s right, No “Mirror, Mirror” in this reality. One of the absolute most baffling examples as that exact line has been seen quoted in Shrek as well as inspired its own spinoff of the same name. Yet in the Disney animated Snow White film “Mirror, Mirror” is never spoken. Stranger still, seemingly in the other languages the movie is translated in, that line DOES appear. Residual?
Down The Rabbit Hole
There is an ever-growing list of Mandela Effects that seemingly keep getting wilder and wilder. If none of these have made you question this reality, I encourage you to check out the following video on some of the most bazar Mandela Effects.
Youtube: WatchMojo
So How Can This Be?
As of now there are two major theories as the the reasoning behind the Mandela Effect phenomenon.
The Timeline/Paradox Theory
The first theory revolves around the possibility of a paradox involving the timeline we know to be our reality. And yes, before you jump to it, this theory well precedes Loki and the Multiverse. The theory goes that the world (our world that we have perceived in this reality) has actually ended, and not just once. However rather than physically ending the reality we perceive has merged into another reality causing a paradox, one where we retain the memories from our initial reality despite the subtle differences making these non-existent in the current one. Three notable points in history have been linked to this theory as three different points we have merged with three different realities. The First paradox event is said to be Y2K, originally thought to be “The end of the world” Year 0 would wipe all computer based intelligence ability to comprehend the actual year causing a reset. The second paradox shift is though to be the year 2012 when the Mayan Calendar predicted the end of the world. Lastly and most recently is the year 2020 which was considered to be the coming of days due to the unforeseeable and outrageous events the year hosted. While we can look back at these three fixed points as nothing more than hoaxes and false predictions, oddly enough there seems to be a spike in Mandela Effects following each of these years.
Simulated Reality Theory
Simulated Reality theory is the theory that it is very possible and even extremely likely that we currently live inside a computer generated simulation. The crux of the theory relies on the fact it would be next to impossible to answer this question without first being able to create a simulated reality of our own that perfectly mirrored our reality. However by doing so we also run the equal possibility of either creating the first simulated reality or being the last reality to do so. The Mandela Effect comes into play as the response to a “patch” of sorts. While a new reality or update to our current one could easily overwrite the code for a company like “Febreeze” so that the code reads it was actually always spelled “Febreze”, rewriting the code of near sentient, growing AI as a whole would be a lot more challenging. This would lead to peoples “false memories”. Memories of something that actually existed and was witnessed however was overwritten so that it seemingly never existed inside the current reality.
Closing Thoughts
This is just scratching the surface of the Mandela Effect theory. This ever expanding and ever growing phenomenon is one of my favorite things to discuss and monitor. I highly encourage anyone unfamiliar to look into some of the documented effects as I can almost assure you one of them will strike a chord. Let me know what your favorite Mandela Effects are and which ones sent you over the edge below, then be sure to check out more articles like this one right here!

Casting Johnny Cage
The 2021, R rated, Mortal Kombat adaptation hit the big screen as well as HBO Max on April 23, reviving mixed but majority positive reviews. The movie is targeted at long time fans of the video game franchise and dives into the lore behind the in game characters and events. Grossing a whopping $9 Million opening night and topping the box office. With the film being such a financial success, it’s only a matter of time before we are presented with a sequel. One character from the original beat ‘em up not feature in this new adaptation expected to make his debut in the sequel is Johnny Cage. Cage is an arrogant, and egotistical character from the Mortal Kombat franchise complete with leather jacket and douchebag sunglasses to boot. The question now is who will play this much beloved asshole in the film adaptation?
The Miz
For those unaware, who have more than likely been living under a rock for the last two decades, Mike “The Miz” Mizanin is a professional wrestler and two time Grand Slam Champion under the WWE banner. The Miz is also no stranger to the big screen, getting his start on MTV’s 10th season of The Real World before transitioning into his professional wrestling career where he has also found himself as the leading man of The Marine franchise, along with other films such as Christmas Bounty and Fighting with my Family. Following the release of Mortal Kombat The Miz took to Twitter, noticing the lack of one Johnny Cage, offering his likeness for the role.
Photo from The Miz on Twitter
Apart from his obvious acting and fighting chops, Miz bares a striking resemblance to Cage that is undeniable! Having been the perfect fit for the arrogant, egotistical, asshole fans love to hate for the better part of almost two decades now, Miz is seemingly the perfect for the role,Not to mention his apparent affection for the series, and fans seem to be rallying around this casting choice as well. Boss Logic, noted for making actor edits and adaptations for fantasy roles, even took to Twitter to post a non-edited picture of Miz claiming no edit was needed, “The guy is literally him”.

Ryan Reynolds
The Miz is not the only person fans are creating buzz around however. The man responsible for reviving “The Merc with a Mouth” has been in heavy consideration amongst the Mortal Kombat fan base as well. Reynolds has proven he has the ability to play a natural, lovable jackass who is simultaneously a badass time and time again. Reynolds, never one to be left out of the loop on Twitter, took to the app amidst the speculation playing into the hype by posting a photo of himself as Cage to promote his partnership with phone provider, Mint.

While an announcement for the casting of Johnny Cage is nothing we should expect in the near future, we have to believe once casting begins for the inevitable sequel of Mortal Kombat, Miz and Reynolds have to be top contenders to fill the much anticipated role.

Remedies for Reluctant Readers
As students progress through their education, reading assignments and materials naturally become more intense and time consuming. The literature itself becomes more complex and the workload or required reading outside of class lengthens. This is all to be expected, especially as students enter honors–level classes, take AP courses, and look ahead towards higher education. For struggling or reluctant readers, the increase in required reading can be daunting—sometimes students are moved to tears due to the frustration of struggling through a challenging passage or laborious chapter. To remedy these reading woes, we have compiled a list of helpful tips to assist students with managing their growing reading tasks.
Craft a schedule
When teachers assign a new text or novel, they typically share with students a reading schedule or rough outline of chapters to conquer each week. If this is not provided, students should ask their teacher to recommend a specific amount of pages or chapters to read each night/week to be on pace with finishing the text by the deadline. Nothing is worse than procrastinating on a novel unit and then trying to blow through the entire book in less than two sittings.
Set reading goals
Similarly to the reading schedule, students should set small reading goals when beginning a new text or lengthier required reading. Start small, as to not bite off more than one can chew. Perhaps a reluctant reader’s first goal is to actually read the entire novel for once. Or maybe a goal should be to pick up the book at least once per day. The point of the goal is to encourage forward movement and to make sure that progress is made. These do not need to be overwhelmingly ambitious goals, just a few motivating mile markers throughout the text.
Reward oneself
After setting and (hopefully) reaching small reading goals, students can increase intrinsic motivation and boost productivity by looking for some form of light at the end of the tunnel. This means establishing small, incremental rewards to correspond to the goals that students reach in their reading tasks. Perhaps after 25 minutes of uninterrupted reading, a student rewards herself by watching an episode of her favorite show. Maybe parents revive the “book-it” challenge from back in the day and splurge on a pizza or junk food night when kids finish 3 chapter books. The rewards aren’t really about the “treat” at all—they are more about celebrating the accomplishment, grit, and patience that students demonstrate by getting through a challenging task, such as reading.
Stage a comfy reading spot
There is something inherently comforting about a cozy, well-lit nook or hideaway when one is looking for quiet time. Avid readers take pride in their cozy reading spots and routines, but reluctant readers can capitalize on this idea as well. Parents can help spur motivation to read by helping to set up a relaxing cubby removed from the hustle and commotion of the rest of the house where children can snuggle and enjoy a book. Consider adding pillows, blankets, soft white lighting that is not harsh on eyes, perhaps near a window for natural light. Creative touches, like soft, instrumental background music for students to listen to while reading is another great addition. Make reading an experience—pop some popcorn, brew some tea or hot chocolate, and read together to show your kids that this relaxing activity can be enjoyable.
Movement breaks
Reading can seem like a rather dull activity, especially for little ones. This is understandable—as reading is a quiet, still, and often solitary task. But it doesn’t have to be. One regular strategy that elementary teachers utilize as a best practice is to incorporate movement breaks when students are expected to read for a length of time. Depending on the reader, a movement break might involve a trip to the water fountain or kitchen to get a drink of water after reading a chapter or section. For others it may involve jumping jacks, a quick dancing brain break, or squeezing a stress ball while reading. Some students also find it helpful to read at a standing desk, on a yoga or balance ball, or on a wobble stool to help engage the body and allow for some rhythmic movement while reading. The key is to allow and encourage reluctant readers to expel energy to keep their minds engaged and focused.
Preview for background info
For many students, the dislike of reading comes from the fact that it can be tedious and strenuous, especially for struggling readers. Therefore, offering various reading strategies to students can help ease the difficulty and, in effect, increase engagement. One of these strategies, especially for nonfiction or textbook reading assignments, is to preview the reading and search for background on the topic.
Depending on the reading and the student, this practice will look different each time, but here are the basics: Pay attention to the titles, subtitles, headings, captions, photos, bolded vocabulary terms, etc. Students can garner a great deal of what the text will involve by looking at the text features beforehand. Skim sections of the text to ground their reading; this will help orient readers and allow them to plan ahead in terms of seeing how long the reading will be. For terms or concepts that are totally unfamiliar, students should be encouraged to do a quick Google search to help ground their understanding of the term, concept, or event. Jot down questions while previewing; this helps students begin to engage with the text and practice close reading and critical thinking. The goal is to then revisit and answer or follow up on those questions after reading.
Highlight as you go
Highlighting is a common tool for successful readers as well. This practice builds strong, active reading skills and helps visual learners at the same time. Students should be encouraged to mark areas of the text for any of the following purposes: Highlight words or phrases that connect to vocabulary terms or important concepts from class; this visual helps to engrain definitions and understanding into working memory. Highlight main points of a section, chapter, or column of text. This way, when students revisit the text, they are able to identify the key points immediately. Highlight areas of the text that they find confusing or have questions about. This will act as a visual cue to remind students to follow up with the teacher, do a little more research about the specific topic, ask follow-up questions, etc.
These are just a few easy strategies to implement that can help all ages find more enjoyment in reading.

States race to reform police practices in wake of George Floyd’s death
Getty Images
State legislators have introduced dozens of measures to address police violence amid nationwide protests over the deaths of unarmed African Americans, an almost unprecedented race to reform law enforcement practices after years of stagnation.
Legislatures in 19 states and the District of Columbia have introduced more than 160 bills in the three and a half weeks since the killing of George Floyd, whose death after a Minneapolis police officer was videotaped kneeling on his neck led to murder charges and became the catalyst for protests in hundreds of cities.
“There hasn’t been the political will to have some of those really uncomfortable and difficult discussions around police reform,” said Maryland state Sen. Will Smith (D). “The George Floyd murder ignited a movement and has given a lot of folks around the country the political will and the moment to make real reform and real systemic change.”
Many of the bills up for debate are broad efforts to overhaul police department procedures to hold officers to greater account. Others are more narrowly targeted, banning chokeholds or the use of tear gas and rubber bullets during protests. Still more implement new training regimes meant to cut down on the number of police interactions that end violently.
Legislators in Minnesota have introduced 53 different measures, including bills to ban so-called warrior-style training and weapons. The legislature is also considering legislation that would require law enforcement officials to receive training for dealing with people on the Autism spectrum, training that few police departments provide.
In New York, where protests have led to hundreds of complaints against police officers for using excessive force, legislators have introduced 56 bills to overhaul law enforcement practices.
Only two weeks after Floyd’s death, Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) signed legislation creating a new Office of Special Investigation to investigate and prosecute alleged criminal offenses committed by a law enforcement officer. Cuomo signed another bill that created the new crime of strangulation that would be added to a potential murder charge.
In Pennsylvania, members of the state’s Legislative Black Caucus staged a symbolic takeover of the speaker’s rostrum in the state House Chamber to raise awareness of police brutality.
“There’s such a sense of urgency for us to address these issues,” said state Rep. Jordan Harris, the Democratic whip. “For black and brown elected officials, this has been an issue that we have been championing for years and wanting to address for a while.”
The House Judiciary Committee in Harrisburg, Pa., advanced two bills earlier this week, one requiring mental health evaluations for officers and another creating a statewide database of complaints against law enforcement officials.
In an era of hyper polarization, the legislation reforming police agencies has been remarkably bipartisan. Several bills have passed on unanimous or almost unanimous votes.
“The outpouring of peaceful protests, the concern about this issue is substantial,” said Texas state Rep. James White (R), who heads the House committee on corrections in his state. “This is usually a policy lane where you can have a lot of bipartisanship, and no one believes that their values are compromised.”
The D.C. City Council has sent a package of police reforms to Mayor Muriel Bowser (D). Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds (R) has signed a bill banning chokeholds. Smith said Maryland would look at comprehensive reforms that include a police oversight board and prohibitions on tactics like chokeholds.
But other bills have failed: The Kansas legislature killed a bill this month that would have banned law enforcement agencies from hiring officers with a history of misconduct allegations. It also voted down a resolution condemning acts of police brutality and excessive force. In Louisiana, a bill to end qualified immunity for law enforcement officers failed in committee.
The Louisiana legislature did pass a resolution commending four black teenagers who organized a peaceful protest march to the state capitol in Baton Rouge.
Some Republican-controlled states have passed resolutions focused more on instances of violence within largely peaceful protests. Michigan legislators adopted a measure condemning violence and extremist groups. The state is also considering a measure to ban chokeholds.
Democratic-controlled cities have moved to slash police budgets. Baltimore’s city council cut $22 million from its police department. Philadelphia paused some planned spending increases and made other cuts to its department, totaling about $33 million. Portland, Ore., officials slashed the police department’s budget by $16 million.
Acts of police brutality have spawned some limited legislative reforms in the past. Michael Hough, a Republican state senator in Maryland, helped pass some police and criminal justice reforms in 2016, after a Baltimore man named Freddie Gray died in police custody.
What is different now, though, is the breadth of the anger at Floyd’s death.
“Almost every state is going to be tackling this because it’s such a huge issue now,” Hough said. “There is common ground there, but it’s difficult. When you talk about issues of race and criminal justice reform, it’s difficult.”
Many state legislatures have already adjourned for the year, and don’t plan to return until after November’s elections. Even in those states, legislators are busy planning police overhauls to come. In Texas, White has been participating in virtual town hall meetings with fellow members of the Legislative Black Caucus and constituents around the state. He said members are already contemplating legislation to introduce when they return to Austin for their biennial session in January.
As a conservative, White said he wanted to see reforms that reined in the government’s authority to detain law-abiding citizens.
“Any time the government believes that they need to limit your freedom, even if it’s a five minute detainment on the side of the road for a Class C driving ticket, we want to make sure that that stop is constitutional and lawful,” White said in an interview Thursday. “People understand that we need law enforcement. It doesn’t make a hill of beans if James White goes up there and passes 8,000 bills if there’s nobody there to enforce them.”

Genocide of Kashmiri Pandits: Made Into Oblivion
Kashmir, also known as nature’s paradise on earth, has its own dark past, made into oblivion. A past that screams a brutal genocide of Kashmiri Pandits, who have ever since been known as peace lovers. A past which still sends shivers down the spine of every Kashmiri Pandit. It is heartbreaking to learn about their unforgotten pain and trauma. Not only one generation of Kashmiri Pandits got eliminated but the agony face by them did cast its affect on their succeeding generations, thereby putting an everlasting scar on the history of humanity.
J&K was a princely state solely ruled by the Dogra rulers. After the creation of Pakistan on religious lines in 1947, it continued the evil designs to acquire the Muslim majority state of Jammu & Kashmir. Pakistan resorted to a tribal invasion which was mainly focused to eliminate the Hindu population in Jammu & Kashmir. Maharaja Hari Singh had the option to sign the Agreement of Accession with the Government of India, putting a stop to Pakistan’s malevolence.
Kashmiri Hindus and Muslims used to live in harmony. Pakistan with its wicked plans to acquire the land and waters of Kashmir, played its game of religion and started brainwashing Kashmir Muslims in the name of Islam. Arms/ammunition, training for hidden warfare and support on diplomatic/financial fronts was provided to Kashmiri Muslims to wage a war against India. By 1990s, everything was set for the big mission that started from 19 Jan 1990. The idea was simple; kill, harass and torture the Indian patriots in Kashmir, who were none other than the Kashmiri Pandits. With the support and backing of local Kashmiri Muslims, thousands of Kashmiri Pandits were assassinated. Killings, rapes, and kidnapping were common. Every effort was made to terrorize the innocent Pandits.
The Pak sponsored terrorists of which the local Kashmiri Muslims youth were a part, forced Pandits to either join in destabilizing India or convert or leave Kashmir or die. Fear became an ever present reality. Every night, a Kashmiri Pandit house was marked as a target to be burnt or a Pandit member to be assassinated. Not every Muslim was a part of the heinous mission but, the majority did remain silent and supported in execution of Pak plans and terror activities. Poor Kashmiri Pandits became the victims for no fault of theirs.
The priority of Pandit males was sending women, children and elders to a harmless place. They could sense the lust in eyes of the betrayers. No Pandit was showed any mercy irrespective of age or gender. They were subjected to the worst kind of brutality. Women were molested and then cut into pieces on wooden bandsaw. Body parts of some others were amputated. Many others were kidnapped and their dead bodies after torture were thrown into rivers. Few innocents were hanged on trees for instilling fear in others. Majority of the misguided Kashmiri Muslims used to enjoy the bloodbath of Kashmiri Pandits. Either directly or indirectly they were partners in the genocide of the Pandits. Many of the Muslim neighbours had already sketched their plans to occupy the houses & other property of Pandits and made all efforts to generate an atmosphere of fear and psychosis. Just to save their lives, Kashmiri Pandits had to undergo sudden and forced exodus from their native land and did not choose to put their patriotisms towards their nation on sale.
Simply the thought of leaving motherland where generation had lived for centuries brings tears in one’s eyes and just realize about those who actually have faced this. Leaving palatial houses with all comforts and that then restricting to a small pigeon rooms or a torn tents is really the worst kind of trauma that Kashmiri Pandits have undergone.
After their forced exodus, Pandits had to live in unhygienic conditions, devoid of essentialities for living and harsh climatic conditions. They faced both financial and emotional setbacks. Their social network got extremely thinned which resulted in untimely death of a large number of the community members, as well as developing different types of health problems. Older people were most among the sufferers. The education of Kashmiri Pandit students received a major jolt and those who were at the important stage of their life career were the worst sufferers. It shut the dreams of innocent Kashmiri children, who believed on their hard work and educational abilities.
On the cultural front, the community went centuries behind. Their rituals, customs and other social aspects got vanished in dark, without knowing the path way it would follow. Apart from being genocide of humans, it was an aggression on thousands of years of old culture. It is very sad that Kashmiri Pandits, who were the legal and hereditary natives of this country, became refugees in their own country and were called as migrants in the Government records.
Despite having suffered on all fronts, Kashmiri Pandits chose patience, spread brotherhood and didn’t resort to any kind of violence. As a result, their voices remained unheard for the last thirty years. They continued to live in a state of unpredictability about their identity, culture, customs and future. Did they really forget what happened to them? No, they didn’t. They did everything possible thing to raise their voice, but were unheard because they are peace lovers and don’t’ have any political representation. Their patriotism towards their nation and the sacrifices officered by them has no value in the political circles of the country.
Over the past 30 years, Kashmir Pandits have toiled a lot and rebuilt their lost identity after starting from the scratch. Some have moved on, whereas many are still disturbed with the memories of their forced exodus. They haven’t forgotten anything. Their memories are still full of both the beauty and brutalities of their “Panun (own) Kashmir”. Some refuse to return, whereas others still hopeful of returning and getting rehabilitated.
Thanks to recently released documentary ‘The Kashmiri Files’ which gave a very brief account of atrocities committed on the community and thus created mass awareness about some of the untold sufferings of Kashmiri Pandits. I believe this is not the end. The forced exodus of Kashmiri Pandits is a terrible tragedy and a sad part of not only the Indian history but of the world history as well.
The Kashmiri Pandit, once a highly educated and culturally rich community, is presently at the stage of extinction, if immediate steps are not taken in the interest of the community. Government of India has a moral responsibility towards the rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits and not to continue to look at them as refugees in their own counter. No history of genocides can be complete without making the mention of holocaust of Kashmiri pandits. The situation of Kashmiri Pandits can be well described by the following couplets authored by me:
Stitched mouth bruises cuts teary eyes
Her gazes calling for help
Dark moon, red sky
Shivering body pleading to God
For her sanity rather than safety

Per CNN reporting just now, William Barr before today told the White House that he would be bringing in his own Deputy Attorney General if confirmed, so the news that Rosenstein will step down if Barr if confirmed should not have led to *any* of the hysteria it seems like it has.
2/ Rosenstein previously said he'd serve two years—so his departure around now isn't surprising anyway, and (in fact) will make it easier for him to coordinate with Mueller as a witness rather than a supervisor. Too many people are reading way too much into his pending departure.
3/ I'll go further: Rosenstein is friendly with Barr, used to work with him, and recommended him for the Attorney General spot—all of which indicates that his comfort level with Barr taking over the Mueller probe has *nothing* to do with an assessment of when that probe will end.
4/ I think that a lot of people who've bought into the erroneous reporting by @KenDilanianNBC and others about when the Mueller probe will end want to ignore the extension of Mueller's grand jury and yesterday's shocking collusion news to imply the opposite—Mueller's nearly done.
5/ In fact, Mueller is about to get *thousands* of pages of transcripts from Congress that will further enhance his ability to indict people like Trump Jr., Stone, and Prince, and there is already substantial reporting indicating he plans to indict Jerome Corsi and Paul Erickson.
6/ I'll allow that Rosenstein may think certain things have happened in the Mueller probe that now make it impossible to stop—sealed indictments are one, though I'll say I think the chance of those has been exaggerated by some—but he is *not* signaling he thinks it's almost done.
7/ What's unfortunate about the misreading (and frantic amplification) of the Rosenstein news is that it's *distracting* from the fact that the news about Manafort from yesterday—(more) clear proof of collusion—underscores that Mueller has a *long* way to go in his investigation.
8/ I assume everyone reading this thread knows that the DAG position is a Senate-confirmed position—we all recall watching Rosenstein's confirmation—so when I said Barr will bring in someone of his choice of course I meant he'll confer with Trump on who he wants to see nominated.
9/ My point is, despite their prior working relationship, if Barr had wanted Rosenstein to stay on rather than having someone else replace him he would have told both Trump and Rosenstein so, and Rosenstein wouldn't have said he's leaving (or, might have decided to leave anyway).
10/ That said, it's clear Trump wants Rosenstein gone and that, until he is confirmed, Barr must do everything to please the president—which he already *did* with his irresponsible editorializing on Mueller—so of *course* he's not going to say, "Mr. President, I want Rosenstein."
11/ Per Bloomberg News (@StevenTDennis) one reason Rod Rosenstein might be comfortable having Barr and a new deputy take over is that "Barr and Robert Mueller have been friends for decades; their wives attend Bible study together; Mueller has attended Barr’s daughters’ weddings."
12/ In any case, I'll close by saying this shutdown is Trumpist theater now intended to slow and enervate Democrats' Congressional probes and keep the focus on immigration rather than the collusion bombshell that dropped yesterday. The Rosenstein news is minor. Stay focused. /end
PS/ CNN reporting that Rosenstein would only leave if the Mueller probe were "complete" (a possibility we can ignore, as it clearly is not based on at least five anticipated indictments and hoped-for cooperation deals coming soon) or "close enough to complete it is protected"...
PS2/ ...is being over-interpreted. As I've laid out in this thread, even if that CNN reporting is correct, there are *many* reasons Rosenstein might either trust Barr's intentions *and/or* think that while Mueller has lots of work left, it's simply too late for Trump to stop him.

What Would You Sacrifice to Keep Creating?
It may seem perplexing as to why I’m coupling sacrifice and creation, but I assure you there is documented history of the two walking arm and arm. One of the keynotes at the annual conference of the Global Alliance for Arts and Health was Dr. C. Richard Stasney. Dr. Stasney is part of a team of doctors that take care of the Houston Opera, Symphony, and Ballet.
Looking back in history there are prominent artists who experienced personal sacrifice for the sake of their art; Beethoven is one of those artists. Because of a medical problem that resulted in the accumulation of fluid in his abdomen, Beethoven had abdominocentesis (draining of the fluid in the abdomen) twice a week. We know from DNA testing that he didn’t use any opiates to deal with the pain of this frequent procedure. The absence of opiates/painkillers meant that Beethoven could continue creating without being in a state of altered consciousness.
What are the limits of sacrifice for art? How do these sacrifices impact our motivation to create art? What healing properties does art have that was the result of personal sacrifice in the mind-body-spirit arena. Although Beethoven didn’t use opiates keeping him present to create, we as artists know that being “in the zone” creates an altered state of consciousness. This altered state gives us uninterrupted time to in our creative spaces to dive into our process of making art.
Beethoven may have been an exception to the rule based on the level of sacrifice he exhibited to compose, but the idea of sacrifice is not uncommon to artists. What have you sacrificed or willing to sacrifice to continue making art? Is the sacrifice part of your art and healing process? How does sacrifice influence our creative process and in turn does it heighten or diminish the impact on our physical, emotional, or spiritual health?

Helping Soldiers Heal
The final keynote at the annual conference of the Global Alliance for Arts and Health was Darden Smith. Smith is a talented singer/songwriter who has taken his talent and transformed it beyond the often ego driven life of a rock star. He has taken his gifts and talents and is sharing them in a way that impacts the men and women who protect our freedoms and safety in the United States.
After many years of singing and performing in venues across the country, Darden has found a higher calling; one that provides healing to men and women in the military. His current focus is not only inspiring, but serves as a reminder of the trauma many of our soldiers experience after being in combat. We’ve been living in turbulent times and now with Smith’s help, the road to healing through music is a new avenue, and an amazing one.
The program is called Songwriting With:Soldiers (www.songwritingwithsoldiers.org). The program brings soldiers on a retreat and during that retreat they co-write and record songs specific to their lives. They can discuss/write/sing about any aspect of their experience. The soldiers are teamed up with songwriters and then each song is professionally recorded. The soldier is given a CD of their song before leaving the retreat. Does this help heal?
Smith told us about a soldier who had been on the retreat and recorded a song. The song was on an iPod making it readily available. After the retreat the soldier experienced another place of darkness and despair leading him to consider committing suicide. He was set to take his own life when he passed his daughters room and heard her listening to his song. The song that was his creation, his experience, and a step on his own healing journey prevented him from committing suicide. When we hear a story this profound and impactful does it inspire you to include music/singing/songwriting in your own personal healing journey? Or those you work with?
One of the points Smith made along with performing some incredible songs was this, “What conversations have you been having with yourself your entire life?” He followed that with, “Have those conversations every day!” What are your conversations telling you? Are they the key to health and healing?
I encourage you to go to Darden Smith’s website and hear some of the music that is jaw dropping magnificent, www.dardensmith.com. I hope you gain some inspiration from his courage, perseverance, and desire to accompany others struggling to experience a sense of freedom from their own dark places.
The Traveling Bead Brings Hope and Encouragement to Kids!!!
Last week I attended the annual conference of the Global Alliance for Arts and Health. It was an amazing experience to be among so many providers, artists, and researchers all championing arts and health.
So how do we make it through tough times? Did you ever have a rabbit’s foot as a kid for good luck? Have you or family members hung a horseshoe for good luck? Do you wear that one particular shirt, shoes, and earrings when going to an interview or some other event where you’re hoping for good luck? I remember having a rabbit’s foot; they came in lots of colors (please don’t send PETA to my doorstep). So how do we honor the journey that children take when diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and provide them with a visual representation of the hurdles they’ve jumped? Well you give them a bead of course!!!!
“Beads of Courage helps children and families coping with serious illness RECORD, TELL and OWN their story of COURAGE”. Can you think of anything more beautiful than honoring every step along the child’s path in treatment. It’s interesting because if you were ever in scouting one of the key things was the “merit badge”. Beads of Courage are more than a merit badge. It’s a visual story. It’s like an archeological of treatment.
Jean Baruch, Executive Director, and Ashley Ethridge, Director of Communications and Encouragement, vivaciously shared how the program works and how widespread the program is in the United States and now heading globally. Beads are interesting because they are easy to carry and we can attribute significance and meaning to each and every bead. Beads are a great metaphor for storytelling because they are the oldest art form known to man. Beads have survived and evolved and Beads of Courage plays to that strength.
The kids are given a bead, a magnificent hand blown glass lamp bead, for each procedure or treatment they receive. An example given was that child would be given a red bead for a blood transfusion and a white bead for a chemotherapy treatment.
The community’s involvement, aside from financial support, is the ability to carry a bead. Carrying a bead allows you and I to carry a bead to an event, a destination, or anything else you can imagine infusing the bead with that experience. The bead is sent in to Beads of Courage with a story card and the child receives the bead and the story. Your story and the child’s story can come together creating a bonding experience.
During Ashley’s presentation she was wearing multiple strands of beads. She shared that this magnificent collection of beads belonged to a sixteen year old girl going through treatment. It wasn’t until a reception later in the day that Ashley explained that each of the nine strands had approximately 100 beads. You do the math; this young lady had acquired 900+ beads, what I learned in that moment is that these beads/stories had been acquired since this past December. I was in shock, awe, and relieved that she had an organization like Beads of Courage by her side.
You may be thinking that this sounds like Flat Stanley. It may have some similarities, but the notion that each and every bead has a story is amazing and scary. It’s life affirming and encouraging. The organization provides children and families a way to connect around story instead of sickness. Our stories are our legacy. These beads are a visual legacy of the journey these children and family take in the hopes of health and healing.
Let’s all grab a bead, infuse it with our own story and partner with this amazing organization. Go to http://www.BeadsofCourage.org
Art, Health, More Art, More Health!
I just returned from the annual conference of the Global Alliance for Arts and Health (soon to have a name change). It is one of the few places where art and health intersect and noncompetitive entities. It’s a sacred space where the providers, artists, medical personnel, spiritual advisers, and researchers intersect for a common goal; giving those with illnesses transform their experience through art.
The conference was inspiring, thought provoking, and a catalyst for what’s possible when fields of study come together with a common goal. There is an exponential outcome when we stop competing and combine our gifts and talents for a common cause.
Over the next few days I’ll share some amazing programs, projects, and people who make the field of art and health mystical and magical. These people, projects, and programs provide hope to the multitudes of patients, family members, and professional caregivers increase their competency and efficacy in the healing arena.
Although history has proven time and time again the importance of creativity in our lives; it’s only the past twenty-five years (give or take a few years) that we are engaged in an ongoing dialogue about the impact of art on health. The healing process, open to personal definition unless you’re a researcher, is opting to include creative experiences fortifying the healing properties in our minds, bodies, and souls.
I have to admit a condensed dose of inspiration was a bit daunting and over-stimulating. On the other hand, the reinforcement of the possibilities that art has on the healing experience was freeing. It clearly provided a framework for how everyone can have creative experiences; you don’t have to be an artist. Our souls make us artists and that’s should be the focal point of all our journeys.

Hans Wegner Papa Bear Chair
When you're little, you sit in a chair and hug your teddy bear. When you're big, the chair hugs you. That's the whimsical idea behind the Hans Wegner's iconic Papa Bear Chair. Designed in 1951, this oversized seat has foam cushions and natural fiber stuffing for added cushioning. The arms wrap around you as you sit, with solid wood "paws" emerging at the ends that match the legs, and the seat angle encourages you to recline into the "hug." The example you see here has been meticulously restored, retains its original stamp, and arrives with a matching ottoman both finished in black leather.

Why nuking the filibuster is bad governance
(Originally published in the Deseret News)
The U.S. Senate was established by the Founding Fathers as the great deliberative body where members could form collegial relationships and reach across the aisle to pass legislation for the wider benefit of the country. Times have changed.
The recent push to eliminate the filibuster is yet another attack on the spirit of unity and an attempt to fundamentally transform America into the image of one extreme of the political spectrum. This attempt is fraught with unintended consequences. Partisans currently in control who seek an end to the filibuster to push their proverbial wishlist will sooner or later realize that “what goes around comes around,” and our nation suffers as a result. Consensus-building is a worthy endeavor, however hard it may be to get senators from the opposing party to support legislative efforts. The nation cannot afford to abandon the norms of compromise and the goal of unity.
The filibuster is a keystone to congressional balancing and keeps a check on power and safeguards minority views. Seeking to “fix” Congress by tearing down the very safeguards that stabilize the institution is foolhardy, at best. If senators eliminate the filibuster, we can expect a torrent of bad legislation, inherently bad because it will lack bipartisan consensus. George Washington reputedly remarked to Thomas Jefferson that the Senate‘s role in lawmaking was to “cool” House passed legislation so the passions of the majority would not burn up the interests of the minority.
If we are to heal wounds, truly unite and move towards a cohesive nation, the filibuster is vital to protecting both minority and majority concerns, whichever party happens to occupy those roles at any given time. Despite the partisan desire for quick political wins to satisfy immediate concerns, long-term consequences to this fundamental change will harm both parties as the electoral pendulum swings from left to right and back again. In fact, overreach often ensures this swing will be wider and more rapid.
Politics aside, Utahns and Americans at large should demand this legislative rule remain in place to protect their families’ well-being and prosperity. The end of the filibuster will hurt the economy now and in the future. Why? Uncertainty. If this precedent is overturned now, it will become easier to bypass in the future. The emerging economic recovery could be short-circuited without the stabilizing influence of the filibuster. Businesses would be forced to reconsider hiring new employees and jobs will be lost or incomes shrunk if the government dramatically increases the cost of doing business.
What will happen to markets when corporate tax rates increase? When a host of new regulations burden small businesses struggling to recover from the pandemic? When national debt increases 33% in just over a year? What happens when interest rates break free and the Fed’s debt monetization can no longer control the long bond? Wide swings in politics bring wild swings to job growth and markets. Each of these scenarios creates uncertainty and economic volatility.
The pandemic unveiled the thin line between order and chaos — how easily stability can break down when rapid uncertainty is injected into our economic and governmental systems. If employers must face a constant sway in political agendas, built on the ashes of a nuked filibuster, our fragile economic recovery risks being derailed.
For some, politics is a game of scoring points, but it should be about building relationships that underpin consensus. Many Americans were heartened when President Joe Biden declared in his inaugural address that unity must be our path forward and the guiding light to govern. The fruition of those words will be found in part by pursuing compromise rather than a partisan push that will destroy not just the filibuster, but the president’s own stated governing ethos.
Derek Miller is the president and CEO of the Salt Lake Chamber.

Probiotic Vegan Yogurt
• Restores microflora.
• Normalizes the digestive process.
• Contains 12 bacterial strains.
A new generation probiotic. Contains the highest concentrations of human-friendly beneficial bacteria. Vegan Probiotic Yogurt is an advanced preparation for the microflora recovery, both in the form of a fermented plant milk drink and in its pure form.
Most of the mainstream yogurt you buy at the grocery store is made with dairy,most commonly with cow's milk, but sometimes with sheep or goat’s milk. This means it is not VEGAN. Vivo's unique formula allows you to make real VEGAN yogurt based on plant milk. Our starter culture includes12 different probiotics that will help you improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, and reduce inflammation in the body. We recommend making yogurt with soy milk, as it contains at least 7grams of protein per 100 grams of product. The more protein there is in the milk, the thicker the yogurt will be. To do this, see the nutrition fact section on the milk carton. Almond, rice and coconut milk have 1 gram of protein per 100 grams of product. This is not enough to make the yogurt thick. If you want to use these types of milk for making yogurt, you can try to add plant protein that is sold by Amazon.
VIVO Probiotic Vegan Yogurt is a starter culture for the fermented plant milk product. It is an advanced probiotic that contains the highest concentrations of human-friendly beneficial bacteria. This allows using Probiotic Yogurt not only as a fermented milk product but also in its pure form without a fermentation process.
Probiotic Vegan Yogurt is the best starter culture to restore healthy microflora or to displace unwanted microbes. Its effect is equally strong when used in its pure form and as the fermented milk product prepared with the starter culture.
1. 1. Starter VIVO.
2. 2. Milk: Use soy milk to make vegan yogurt. One bottle can ferment from 1 to 2 liters of milk.
3. 3. Fermentation dishes: You can ferment both in a yogurt maker and in a regular pan or jar. All utensils that will come into contact with the milk must be clean. It should be scalded with boiling water. When fermenting in a pan or jar, you will need a blanket or large towel to maintain the temperature.
Bring the milk temperature to+38 +42°С (+100 +108 F).The milk temperature should be higher than the body temperature, but the milk should not be hot!You can use a food thermometer to control the temperature. It is necessary to ensure that the mixture of milk with the VIVO starter remains warm during fermentation for8-14 hours depending on the cooking method. If you use a pan or jar, wrap the container with the mixture in a large towel or blanket and leave for 12-14 hours in a warm place. You can also use a yogurt maker or multi cooker in "Yogurt" mode, which will maintain the milk temperature. Pour the mixture into jars of the device and turn it on according to the manufacturer's instructions. It is necessary to check the product. After making sure that the product is thick, it shouldbe cooled for 3 hours in the fridge. Store the finished product in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If desired, you can add fruit, nuts, honey, cereal or sugar just before eating. Sometimes it may take an additional 1-3 hours to thicken. This happens, for example, if the milk has cooled during fermentation. Care should be taken to ensure that the milk does not cool down next time
