Walmart is not expecting any significant sales growth in the coming year -- and that's bad news for the retail industry as a whole.
In October, the retail giant said that net sales would grow 3 percent to 4 percent every year for the next three years. However, in its fourth-quarter earnings results on Thursday, Walmart had a less optimistic prediction for fiscal 2017 (calendar year 2016).
"Including store closures and the impact of the strengthening U.S. dollar, we now expect net sales growth to be relatively flat in fiscal year 2017," Walmart CFO Brett Biggs said in the company's earnings call.
Walmart closed 269 stores in late January, laying off thousands of employees.
For retail rivals, Walmart's struggles are not cause for celebration. Instead, they reveal a swiftly changing retail landscape where few can keep up.
"The blunt truth is that while stores remain a vital part of the retail mix, they are not quite as relevant as they used to be," Conlumino CEO Neil Saunders wrote in a research note about the company's recent store closures. "Walmart's decision is part of a larger shift that will be played out across all parts of the retail sector over the coming year and beyond."
Department store giant Macy's also revealed it would close 40 stores in early 2016. These two major retailers' decisions to shut hundreds of stores are not anomalies in the industry.

The growth of online retailers, especially Amazon, has made shopping trips less appealing. Just as mall traffic has decreased (Fung Business Intelligence Centre estimates that the average American now visits a mall three to four times a year, as opposed to five to six times a few years ago), visits to big box retailers are also dropping.
When one store closes, it sets off a domino effect of closures. If a mall anchor, such as Macy's or Sears, shuts down, it can be difficult to find another tenant to replace them, according to Howard Davidowitz, chairman of Davidowitz & Associates, a national retail-consulting and investment-banking firm.
These retailers' best chance to turn things around is to invest in e-commerce.
On Thursday, Walmart reported that global ecommerce sales grew 12% last year. Now, the company (which has spent billions of dollars growing its ecommerce business) says it is focusing on building a digital relationship with customers, scaling its online assortment, and expanding online grocery.
Ironically, an increase in online sales would likely reduce the number of necessary Walmart locations and employees, potentially leading to more store closures. While Walmart has emphasized "seamless" integration of online and in-store experiences, the growth of digital represents a major shift in what shopping "at" Walmart means.
Even if retail giants are able to turn business around by growing ecommerce sales, customers should not be surprised if more closures are on the horizon as the retail industry adjusts to this seismic shift.

There’s rarely a person that hasn’t heard the word “stevia” or “fitness” in the modern world. With the health trend raging and more and more people jumping in this lifestyle, it’s no wonder these words have become part of the everyday language for us. Hey, they are part of the reason why many are getting healthier by the day! That’s why it’s so important to know why stevia and sports are such a great power couple, and why among the alternatives, Stevian Forte is the best one. Care to join us? Then keep reading!
Stevia and sports: the perfect couple
Sports lovers know better than anyone that they cannot use products that don’t have a positive impact on their diets. How so? Simple, they should not consume things that harm their progress. It means that they need to be extra careful with the stuff they put into their diet, as most of them can be detrimental to their overall health.
Energy is above all the reason why they decide to take on stevia. While it contains no calories, and the sugar kick is more than enough to help in training. It’s also an excellent complement to otherwise unpalatable meals. For example, some smoothies, while nutritious, often have a strong taste that can be balanced with the help of a bit of sugar. However, if you’re on a diet to stay fit or just healthy, why would you add something so damaging as sugar?
That’s when stevia kicks in. It doesn’t contain any of the traditional sugary elements you find in other sugar replacements. The main chemical in it’s “stevioside,” that gives it the sweet flavor that makes desserts, beverages and so on into delicious and palatable creations, 100% guilt-free. That makes it ideal for sports lovers, that don’t want to hamper their progress with refined sugar.
It’s also great for boosting energy. Stevia is a metabolic accelerant by nature, and it’s without a doubt, one of the best and most natural ones. Depending on the presentation, you can get more or less energetic boost that with other metabolic accelerants, and it’s all natural!
Why Stevian Forte?
Now that you know the benefits of stevia, you might be wondering “Why should I pick one or the other?” and well, while we can’t point fingers, we can tell you something for sure: Stevian Forte has benefits that no other brand can offer you. And for a good reason! Our product was created with one thing and one thing in mind: health for all. That means that every packet contains healthy ingredients only, for all ages and performances.
Stevian Forte is:
- 100% gluten-free (without traces whatsoever.)
- Contains no calories.
- Leaves no aftertaste.
- It’s digested in the intestine, so it’s not absorbed.
Are you ready to experience it by yourself? Order your first box, with 40 individual packets containing the one and only Stevian Forte. This alternative will surely change your training sessions from now on, making them sweeter and more productive. Are you ready to take on the Stevia challenge? We’re just waiting for you!

In his column in the National Post on June 14, Terry Glavin writes about Canada’s new Feminist International Assistance Policy. Glavin says, “It's easy to dismiss Trudeau's 'feminist foreign aid' plan as virtue signalling. Easy, but wrong,” He goes on to say, “What the Trudeau government is proposing is not frivolous. Two years ago, the McKinsey Global Institute produced a ground-breaking study reckoning that $12 trillion could be added to the world’s GDP by advancing the cause of women’s equality. The McKinsey study built on the work of numerous scholars that shows how women’s equality is the most significant predictor of a country’s stability.”

On Saturday, June 26, I took part in a bus ride, sponsored by UNITE/HERE in Philadelphia, to join in the Freedom Ride For Voting Rights, sponsored by Black Voters Matter. We were all reminded of the work and sacrifice brave activists-like John Lewis-undertook so that ALL Americans can vote. the rally at the north side of the Capitol Mall to advocate specifically for the For The People Act, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, and statehood for the District of Columbia-a district of about 700,000 American citizens who have no say in their federal government. we’re the only nation that doesn’t allow representation from people in its own capitol.
This past month, we recognized and commemorated the Tulsa Race Massacre, in May 31-June 1, 1921, when a white mob descended upon and destroyed the predominantly Black business district of Greenwood-a thriving neighborhood of stores known as “the Black Wall Street.” Triggered by rumors of a Black man sexually assaulting a white woman, a gang of white men went to the county courthouse demanding the Black man be surrendered to them-and a group of armed Black men, some of them veterans of World War I, confronted them. Later, a white mob rampaged through Greenwood, some of them deputized; at the end of the massacre, an estimated 300 people were killed, and a thriving community was demolished. (https://www.history.com/topics/roaring-twenties/tulsa-race-massacre) (https://www.cnbc.com/2021/05/31/black-wall-street-was-shattered-100-years-ago-how-tulsa-race-massacre-was-covered-up.html) This May 31, President Joe Biden signed a proclamation recognizing the massacre, and recommitting the administration to addressing the racial problems we face today. (https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/presidential-actions/2021/05/31/a-proclamation-on-day-of-remembrance-100-years-after-the-1921-tulsa-race-massacre/)
This begs the question-who writes history, and who decides what “history” is? For a century, the story of the Tulsa Massacre was never fully discussed, either in high school or college history classes; it was swept under the rug, and serious scholars worked to unearth the truth. The true study of history goes beyond the classroom and the official textbooks; just as we must come together to study our problems today, and deal with them, so must we also band together to study our history.
The Tulsa Massacre is another example of the racism that permeates our society, and our need to deal with it to this day. Over the course of the year, Republican-dominated state legislatures are passed, or are trying to pass (like in Pennsylvania), a series of laws that world hamper the ability of certain demographic groups-seniors, students, people of color-to vote, which is the basic pillar of democracy. Just like with the original Jim Crow laws after Reconstruction, the trick is to not phrase these bills to prevent specific people from voting, and to continuously call them “voter integrity bills.” (https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/state-voting-bills-tracker-2021)
Voter integrity? Do they think we’re buying that bullshit line? Or is it a line they put out through their favorite media, to the people who still vote for them? The Republicans don’t’ give a damn about their voters; they just want to infuriate them with the latest scary thing, such as “urban crime” and “Willie Horton,” feeding into the racism lurking in the subconscious of America.
Also, we must remember that June is LGBTQ Pride Month, the month commemorating the Stonewall Riots, when in June 1969, patrons in a crappy mob-owned bar faced a raid by police, and all of a sudden they felt like “Enough is enough!”, and battled riot cops for three days, thus jumpstarting the contemporary Gay rights movement.
At the head of the riots were two transgender women of color-Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera. The legend was that Johnson, who like Rivera was a sex worker, was the first to throw a brick at a cop during the riots. Together they formed the activist group Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR) as a support system for young trans-people. But alas! The leading Gay Rights groups didn’t want to be associated with trans-people, sex workers, or drag queens, and Johnson and Rivera were all but written out of the history of Stonewall, and LGBTQ history in general. Johnson was found dead in the Hudson River, and the police called it a “suicide;” and Rivera died in 2002. (https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/who-was-sylvia-rivera) (https://www.vogue.co.uk/arts-and-lifestyle/article/who-was-marsha-p-johnson) In June 2019, the City of New York dedicated two statues to Johnson and Rivera, commemorating their efforts as LGBTQ rights-after their passing. (https://www.nps.gov/articles/000/marsha-p-johnson-sylvia-rivera.htm) It’s again the question, “Who decides what is history?” The role Johnson and Rivera, and other marginalized people in our country, must be more full told.
That’s our job-to study our nation’s REAL history, and not the coloring–book versions we were fed as kids. We must especially look at the contributions of working-people, low-income people, and people on the edge of society-like the drag queens and sex workers at Stonewall in June 1969. And when we do, we can realize the power they acquired by banding together in solidarity, and we, in this portion of the 21st century, can therefore learn our own power. We have a long, strong legacy of freedom fighting in this country-think about John Lewis getting beat up at the Edmund Pettis Bridge during the March on Selma in 1965 for voting rights. Let’s follow their examples, and pick up where they left off in the struggle.
Stay safe, stay strong, and stay together! America will be free! Bye!

Bakari (ばかり) is a word that Japanese learners usually stumble upon early in their studies. We use the bakari form mainly with the meaning of “only,” “just,” or “nothing but ~.” It can be tricky, but together we will understand its meaning, structure, and how to use it naturally.
As you can see, bakari has a different meaning when combined with different forms of verbs or nouns. Let’s take a look at each in detail.
- Noun + Bakari: Only, Just, Constantly
- The Difference Between Bakari (ばかり), Dake (だけ) and Shika (しか)
- Past Tense Verb + ばかり: Just ~
- Te Form Verb + ばかり + いる (Iru): All I/You Do Is ~ | I/You Always Do ~
- Plain Form Verb + ばかり: All I/You Do Is ~
- Number + Counter + ばかり: About, Approximately
- Other Uses of Bakari:
- ばかりに (Bakari Ni): Just Because
- Plain Form Verb/Noun/Adjective + とばかりに (To Bakari Ni): As If To Say ~
- Plain Form Verb/Noun/Adjective +と言わんばかりに (To Iwan Bakari Ni): As Though ~ / As If ~
- Bakka and Bakkari
Noun + Bakari: Only, Just, Constantly
With noun + bakari, the speaker expresses that the amount or the frequency of something (noun) is more than expected or appropriate.
(Tsuyu ga hajimatta node, ame bakari desu.)
Since the rainy season started, it is constantly raining.
(Shigoto bakari wa, karada ni yokunai yo.)
Only working is not good for your health.
(Koko wa nihon ryōri no mise no hazu datta kedo, sushi bakari.)
This shop was supposed to be a Japanese restaurant, but there’s only a lot of sushi.
In these examples, the bakari form expresses surprise, disappointment, and judgment, and it is mainly used with a negative meaning, but note that you can also use it in a positive sense!
Example: Bakari Used With A Positive Meaning
(Saikin ii koto bakari!)
Lately only good things are happening!
Using Bakari To Talk About People
You can also use bakari to talk about people. When using bakari to talk about someone, the nuance is “this person only does or gets something.”
(Kawaisō ni. Itsumo Tanaka san bakari shikarareru.)
Poor thing. Only Tanaka san gets scolded all the time.
(Watashi mo ganbatteiru noni, Suzuki san bakari homerareru.)
I’m working as hard, but only Suzuki san is praised all the time.
The Difference Between Bakari (ばかり), Dake (だけ) and Shika (しか)
Some of you might be wondering, “doesn’t dake and shika mean only too?” What’s the difference?
ばかり (Bakari) vs. だけ (Dake)
Dake is the most “neutral” way to say only in Japanese. Using dake expresses a limit to what you have or do—nothing more, nothing less.
For example, let’s say you got some take-out sushi for dinner with your friends. Everyone takes their food out of the bag. Your friend asks you to check the bag to see if there is anything else inside of it. When you check, you find that there are only disposable chopsticks in it.
You could tell your friend something like this:
(kono fukuro ni) waribashi dake haitteiru.
There are only disposable chopsticks in this bag.
You are simply stating what you see. There are only disposable chopsticks in the bag, nothing more, nothing less. Unlike bakari or shika, there are no feelings that there is too much or too little of something.
Bakari is similar to dake but has a nuance of “there’s so much of something, that everything else is not as important.” In other words, with bakari, you are stressing whatever noun you are talking about. A good English translation of bakari is “There’s nothing but ~.”
If we take the same example from above but replace dake with bakari, we would get:
(kono fukuro ni) waribashi bakari haitteiru.
There’s nothing but disposable chopsticks in this bag.
By using bakari, you are implying that there are so many chopsticks in the bag (more than you expected). So, in this case, it’s possible that there are other utensils in the bag. Maybe there’s a spoon in there, but there are so many chopsticks that the spoon becomes insignificant.
More Examples Using Bakari and Dake With A Noun:
(Koko wa nihon ryōri no mise no hazu datta kedo, sushi dake da.)
This shop was supposed to be a Japanese restaurant, but there’s only sushi (and nothing else).
(Koko wa nihon ryōri no mise no hazu datta kedo, sushi bakari.)
This shop was supposed to be a Japanese restaurant, but there’s nothing but sushi (there might be other things, but there is so much sushi).
しか (Shika): Only, Anything But ~
Shika expresses a lack of everything else except the thing you are talking about. It is used exclusively with verbs in the negative form. You can translate it with “anything but.” It gives of a nuance that something is lacking or missing. Imagine you’re at a store and your bill comes to $10.00. When you look in your wallet, all you have is $5.00. This lack of something is what shika implies.
Going back to our previous example, using shika would result in this sentence:
(kono fukuro ni) waribashi shika haitteinai.)
There are only disposable chopsticks in this bag (but I want a fork/knife/spoon).
Another Example of Shika:
(Daiettochū nanode, konshū wa sarada shika tabeteinai.)
Since I’m on a diet, this week I haven’t eaten anything but salad.
Past Tense Verb + ばかり: Just ~
A verb in the plain past tense + ばかり (bakari) means that the action has just taken place and it has just been completed.
It is very straightforward, and you can start using it right away to step up your daily conversation.
(Hirugohan o tabeta bakari na noni, mata onaka suitekita.)
I’ve just had lunch, but I’m hungry again.
(Mēru o mada yondeimasen. Okita bakari dakara.)
I haven’t read my emails yet. I just woke up.
Te Form Verb + ばかり + いる (Iru): All I/You Do Is ~ | I/You Always Do ~
This form is used to describe an action repeated habitually in a criticizing or negative way, emphasizing that the subject is not doing anything else.
The nuance is that you only do one activity when you should be doing something else. Imagine a mother telling her son, “All you do is play video games!”
(Shūshoku katsudō o shinaide, mainichi osake o nonde bakari iru.)
He is not looking for a job, and all he does is drink every day.
(Shukudai o shinaide, terebi o mite bakari iru.)
All he does is watch TV all day and doesn’t do his homework.
Plain Form Verb + ばかり: All I/You Do Is ~
The dictionary (plain) form of a verb + ばかり (bakari) has two different usages. The first usages will translate to “all I do” or “all I can do.” The second usages will give it a meaning of “there is nothing but” or “all I need to do.”
It means that you did everything necessary, and I now can only do is [verb].
(Ima wa inoru bakari da.)
At this stage, all I can do is pray.
(Shokuji no junbi wa owatta. Ato wa tomodachi ga atsumaru no o matsu bakari da.)
I’ve finished preparing the meal. All I need to do now is wait for my friends to get together.
This grammar structure indicates that since I have done everything in my power or everything that I can do at the best of my ability, the result of the action is out of my control, and all I can do is [verb].
Number + Counter + ばかり: About, Approximately
When bakari is used right after a number and counter, it indicates an estimate. It is used with distance, time, objects, people, or anything countable. Just remember that you need to use a counter. You can’t use bakari with just a number.
十10本ばかりあります。(Pen ga juppon bakari arimasu.) There are about 10 pens.
十10ばかりあります。(Pen ga juu bakari arimasu.) ?
Bakari needs to follow a counter.* The bakari in the second sentence follows the number 十 (juu = 10), so it is incorrect.
*Note: Bakari needs to follow a counter most of the time IF the context is not clear. If the context is clear (the person you are speaking with knows what you are talking about) then it is possible to use bakari without a counter.
Here’s some examples:
(Hachijuu bakari no obāsan ga hitori de aruiteita keredo, daijōbu kana…)
I saw an old woman who looks to be around 80 years old was walking alone. I’m worried about her…
2. 店長: 今日の売れ行きはどう？
Tenchō: (Kyō no ureyuki wa dō?)
Manager: How were the sales today?
Ten’in: (Dōnatsu ga nijuu bakari nokottemasu.)
Staff: There are about 20 doughnuts left.
Notice in these examples that the listener knows what the speaker is talking about, so bakari can be used without a counter.
Examples of Nouns With A Counter + ばかり:
(Moyori no yakkyoku wa go kiro bakari saki desu.)
The closest pharmacy is about 5 kilometers away.
(Kanojo wa mainichi tabako o juppon bakari sutteiru.)
She smokes about 10 cigarettes a day.
(Konsāto ni hyaku gojuu nin bakari sanka shite kuremashita.)
Around 150 people participated in the concert.
Other Uses of Bakari:
Here are some other uses of bakari that are not as common as the others on this list, but still useful to know.
ばかりに (Bakari Ni): Just Because
Verb/Noun/Adj + ばかりに means “just because” and it is used to explain why something negative happened.
**Note: Remember that in the case of na adjectives, you must include the な (na) when using bakari.
Example: Noun + ばかりに
(Isshun no fuchūi bakari ni jiko ga okita.)
Just because I lost attention for a second, an accident occurred.
Example: I-Adjective + ばかりに
(Okane ga nai bakari ni, tomodachi to sotsugyō ryokō ni ikenakatta.)
I couldn’t go on a graduation trip with my friends just because I don’t have any money.
Example: Na-Adjective + ばかりに
(Kanojo wa kirei na bakari ni, shokuba no dōryō no joseitachi ni kirawareteiru you desu.)
Just because she is pretty, it seems that the female co-workers at her workplace don’t like her.
Plain Form Verb/Noun/Adjective + とばかりに (To Bakari Ni): As If To Say ~
Plain Form Verb/Noun/Adjective + とばかりに expresses an action that appears to be conveying some sort of emotion or feeling. What the heck does that mean?
In English, とばかりに can be translated, “as if to say.” Imagine a guy trying to get a woman’s phone number at a bar, but she keeps looking away from him.
“She kept looking away from him as if to say she wanted him to go away.”
Or maybe you ask your friend to read over your essay.
(Kare wa dame da to bakari ni kubi o yoko ni futta.)
He shook his head as if to say it was not good.
***Note: If you do use a noun or na-adjective, you must insert a だ (da) before the とばかりに.
Example: Noun + とばかりに
(Kare wa jibun ga chīmu no rīdā da to bakari ni dōryō ni shiji o dashita.)
He gave his co-workers instructions as if to say he is the team leader.
Example: Na-Adjective + とばかりに
(Tanaka san wa buchō no koto ga kirai da to bakari ni nomikai dewa itsumo hanareta seki ni suwaru.)
Tanaka san always sits away from the manager at our nomikai as if to say she doesn’t like him.
Plain Form Verb/Noun/Adjective +と言わんばかりに (To Iwan Bakari Ni): As Though ~ / As If ~
This pattern is virtually identical to the previous とばかりに above. In fact, you could use either phrase interchangeably to mean the same thing. The と言わんばかりに (to iwan bakari ni) comes from ancient Japanese that carried over until today.
At first glance, the 言わん looks like it would be the casual negative form for 言う (to speak). However, this 言わん is actually the old Japanese volitional form (言おう in modern Japanese). This older Japanese form is still being used today.
Taking the example from above, if we replace “to bakari ni” with “to iwan bakari ni,” the meaning of the sentence will remain the same.
(Kare wa dame da to iwan bakari ni kubi o yoko ni futta.)
He shook his head as if to say it was not good.
If they both mean the same thing, which one is better? Both of these expressions are not used very often, but とばかりに would be considered the more casual expression of the two. You could use both if you were writing academic like essays or literature, but と言わんばかりに does have a more formal feel to it.
Bakka and Bakkari
Bakka and bakkari are the colloquial versions of bakari, but the grammar patterns and usage are the same. If you’re talking to a friend, you can substitute bakari with bakka or bakkari to sound more natural.
1. またゲームやってんの？ さっき10時間もやったばっかじゃん!
(Mata gēmu yatten no? Sakki juu jikan mo yatta bakka jan!)
Are you playing video games again? You just finished playing for 10 hours, right?!
(Shukudai o shinaide, terebi o mite bakkari iru.)
All he does is watch TV all day without doing his homework.
Bakari is a composite grammar form but let’s look at the bright side. Bakari is easy to recognize!
When you see or hear the word bakari in a sentence, think about:
- Which verb form is used (present tense? Past tense? 〜teiru form?)
- Is it connected to a noun? What noun is it?

It is noteworthy to quote a sentence from my book,
It is a misconception among the beginners that centrifugal force acts on a particle in order to make the particle go on a circle. Centrifugal force acts only because we describe the particle from a rotating frame which is non-inertial.
Yes, the statement is undoubtedly right. But one thing that is annoying me is that If the particle moves on a circle due to centrifugal force from a rotating frame, what is the cause for motion of the particle on a circle from an inertial frame ? If there were only centripetal force , the particle would go towards the centre and never it would move in a circle. So, in order to move the particle on a circle , who will play the role of centrifugal force when viewed from inertial frame?? Please help. | <urn:uuid:e143f465-276d-4a74-853f-7510a877ec66> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/146823/who-plays-the-role-of-centrifugal-force-in-an-inertial-frame-of-reference/146825 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.941559 | 172 | 3.234375 | 3 |
A Sermon Preached by Leslie Spatt
So, here we are at Candlemas. It’s a curious sort of holy day, stuck in the middle of apparently nowhere in the Church’s year, the only holy day to have three titles. I say ‘three’ titles, but most congregations will probably only be familiar with two of them; not even necessarily the same group of two. I think using a title referring to candles and masses was probably very iffy when the Book of Common Prayer was finalised in 17th century protestant-leaning Anglicanism. so those using the Book of Common Prayer will know ‘The Presentation of Christ in the Temple’ and ‘The Purification of St Mary the Virgin’. Congregations now using Common Worship will know ‘The Presentation of Christ in the Temple’ and ‘Candlemas’. The idea that women need purification is pretty distasteful these days. Why three different names, and why do we bother with it at all?
Candlemas seems to have little prominence in much parish life, a bit of a sidelined Cinderella sort of feast; date-specific for the 2nd February and frequently omitted if it doesn’t fall on an actual Sunday – though here at St Mary’s it’s usually transferred to a Sunday if it occurs midweek, in order to get an airing. It’s almost exactly in the middle between the first day of winter and the first day of spring. And it’s also one of the most ancient celebrations of the Church, found in sermons for the day as early as 312 CE. In the western church, Christmas Day was observed as the birth of Jesus since the early 4th century and because Candlemas had to be 40 days after the birth of Jesus, it was assigned to February 2nd. It was given the new title ‘Feast of the Purification of the Virgin Mary’ and thus is the oldest recorded festival in honour of Mary.
There are several different focus points to this festival, all of which contribute to why it’s considered one of the main holy days of the Church: the use of light, the recognition of Jesus as the promised Messiah, the story of Jesus brought to the Temple, and the ‘Purification of Mary’, the old name, also reflected in the Gospel Reading. The last two connect us with our Jewish heritage as being duties in the Law of Moses which were required of all parents having a new child. And St Paul reminds us that Jesus was totally Jewish, ‘born of a woman, born under the Law,’ so the Law had to be obeyed.
In the Law of Moses, as we’ve heard in the Gospel this morning, every male child was required to be presented in the Temple 40 days after its birth and a sacrifice offered. Then the woman was ritually cleansed so that she could rejoin regular society. Understanding a Jewish idea of what we call original sin is the key to grappling with the purification aspect. As wonderful as a new baby is, and knowing that God emphasises child bearing where humans are commanded to be fruitful and multiply, God also wanted it to be remembered that with every birth another sinner was brought into the world, and the woman was here symbolically responsible for that. But only symbolically.
Unfortunately, the old ‘stain’ of being ritually unclean for 40 days was carried forward into Christianity, re-interpreted and firmly attached to Christian women. The Jewish concept of a symbolic unclean-ness was ignored and the woman was thought to be personally responsible for carrying on the ‘sin’ resulting from sex. The custom of ‘churching’ a woman after childbirth arose from about the fifth century in both the Eastern and Western Church. They were not allowed to receive communion before they were ‘purified’, not even to enter the church where their child was being baptised. Fortunately, this has now generally been abandoned, and thank heavens for that. Where the ceremony of ‘churching’ is still used – and you will find it in the Book of Common Prayer – it’s been changed into a ritual of thanksgiving and of blessing the young mother.
And what do candles have to do with Mary, Jesus, and the Temple? February 2nd was traditionally the day when candles were blessed for use in churches and homes. It’s also a reference to Simeon’s calling Jesus ‘a light for revelation to the Gentiles’. If we were in normal times, we would have lit candles for part of this service and ceremonially extinguish them at the end. This day is significant as the pivot between Christmas and Easter. It brings to an end the celebration of the incarnation in Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany; we now look towards the darker time of Lent, our transformation through prayer and penitence, and the suffering and death of Christ in Holy Week and Easter.
Other than some ceremonial, what could Candlemas hold for us – its meaning? Well… Candlemas might have something important to say to us about our own need for purification. Not because we have any Law which requires this, not connected to original sin however you interpret that, or the human process of childbirth; and certainly not to women being ritually or even actually ‘unclean’ as some Christians would still have it. It is connected to new birth, for us as Christians in baptism. We are brought to the Temple – presented to the Church and the congregation to be ‘born’ into the family of faith, the Church – just as Jesus was presented in the Temple to become part of his own faith tradition.
And after baptism we are continually in need of purification because we continually sin, however much we try not to. As we come to the end of the Christmas and Epiphany seasons we can approach Lent as a particularly focussed time of looking at the way we act and any patterns of wrong doing we might have developed. Of taking on a habit of metanoia – poorly translated as ‘repentance’ but actually roughly meaning ‘change the way you are going.’
Candlemas might remind us that in Scripture Jesus calls himself the light of the world. Now, after his death and resurrection we are called to carry on his work and be lights ourselves. If you’ve been to a baptism service you might remember the sentence in the liturgy as ‘Shine as a light in the world, to the glory of God the Father.’ All throughout the Gospels Jesus is there, shining light on the meaning of what God the Father wants us to be, what we should be doing to change things in order to bring in the Kingdom of Heaven. But Jesus also shines light into the darker depths of our minds, our behaviour, our shadow aspects which we might not want anyone to see. Bring them out into the light, he says, I will help you to deal with them, maybe transform them into something positive.
Candlemas deserves to remain important in the Church’s year and has significant things to say in both scripture and ritual. At perhaps the bleakest time of the year, grey, cold, mizzly rain and damp (even though the days are getting a bit longer) it’s nice to have a bit more light both physically and spiritually. We can all certainly do with more of both!

Do you have a garden pond? Or would you like one? A garden pond or a water garden does not have to be large to totally change how you make use of your garden. The sound of running water is so soothing and a pond fountain or a waterfall can have a cooling effect on a hot summer’s day. Watching the fish carry out their daily lives is calming too and many gardeners like the chance to branch out into the new realm of aquatic plants.
If your pond is sunk into the earth, your could watch it from above or you could build it above ground and use perspex windows to watch your fish on their own level. Your fish will breed too, so you will have a new, perfect, ecosystem in your own garden.
Select the site of your pond with care. Try to position it on slightly higher ground, so that it is not flooded with all your garden’s rainwater in the course of heavy rains. Beware of putting your pond under a tree or you will always be raking leaves out of the water, which is a real pain. Siting your pond in a location where it is in at least partial shade when the sun is high will also help reduce on algae growth.
However, once the contractor has constructed your pond and you have stocked it, is the time when your work commences. Maybe not work, maybe you will enjoy maintaining your fish and your fish pond. This is not hard and a largish pond will need hardly any maintenance at all, most of it can be mechanized.
One of the first things that you will have to try to do is stop your garden falling into the pond. You do not want surrounding mud dropping into the pond and literally muddying the water. This can be achieved by lining your pond with a butyl pond liner and bringing the liner up over the lip of the pond by a foot or two.
Then you need to keep that in place. This can be done to suit your taste, but many people put a stone or brick walkway around the pond. If you let this overhang the pond by an inch or two, you will almost totally hide the pond liner.
Most people overfeed their fish, because fish outdoor will find a lot of natural food such as flies, larvae and grubs. This surplus food turns into a surplus of nutrients. This super-charged water is a perfect environment for algae, and algae is going to be your undying enemy. However, you can soak up some of these surplus nutrients with other plants that you are keen on.
Aquatic plants such as lilies really make a pond and they will help aerate the water during the day when the water may be warmer (warm water contains less oxygen than cool water). Plants also give your fish somewhere to take cover from predators and strong sunlight, which will diminish stress on your fish as well.

White blood cells help spread cancer, mouse study shows
Findings suggest existing drugs could prevent secondary tumours
White blood cells, key defenders in the body's immune system, can activate cancer cells and help them spread, a new study by Montreal and Calgary researchers suggests.
The findings likely explain why infection after surgery among cancer patients is associated with a higher death rate due to the spread of the cancer, the researchers reported in a paper published Monday in the Journal of Clinical Science.
'What's equally exciting is medications already exist that are being used for other non-cancer diseases, which may prevent this mechanism of cancer spread or metastasis.'—Lorenzo Ferri, RI-MUHC
"We are the first to identify this entirely new way that cancer spreads," said Lorenzo Ferri, a co-author of the paper, in a statement.
"What's equally exciting is medications already exist that are being used for other non-cancer diseases, which may prevent this mechanism of cancer spread or metastasis."
Ferri, director of the Division of Thoracic Surgery and the Upper Gastrointestinal Cancer Program at the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Centre, and his colleagues decided to examine the role of white blood cells more closely after noticing that cancer patients who had a severe infection after surgery were more likely to have their cancer return in the form of secondary tumours — tumours that later grow in parts of the body other than the site of the original tumour.
The researchers induced infections in mice by puncturing the cecum, a pouch located where the small and large intestine join. That caused their white blood cells to spring into action. The white blood cells produced web-like networks made of DNA called neutrophils extracellular traps (NETs). The NETs, which typically trap and kill pathogens such as bacteria, were clearly visible using a microscope in mice that had their cecum punctured, but not those who had a "sham" surgery that didn't cause infection.
Cancer cells were injected into both sets of mice. Afterward, the mice that had their cecum punctured had an average of 400 secondary tumours in their livers, compared to an average of two in the mice who had the "sham" surgery.
The researchers hypothesized that the NETs produced by the white blood cells trapped the cancer cells, and activated them instead of killing them. They managed to actually see this in experiments conducted on cells under a microscope.
When the mice with their cecums punctured were treated with drugs that prevent the formation of NETs, such as enzymes that break down DNA, they developed far fewer tumours — an average of 234 or 132, depending on the drug.
The researchers wrote that further studies are needed to validate their results, but the findings suggest it may be possible to reduce the spread of tumours among cancer patients who develop infections after surgery. They proposed that drugs targeting NET formation might be a potential new treatment for cancer patients.
The study was co-authored by Ferri's colleagues at McGill University and at the University of Calgary and was funded by the Canadian Cancer Society Research Institute. | <urn:uuid:835a393a-2968-4776-be8d-da82f5f38946> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.cbc.ca/news/health/white-blood-cells-help-spread-cancer-mouse-study-shows-1.1388767 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.973033 | 644 | 3.296875 | 3 |
During the proposed amalgamation of the Preston Board of Education with the Waterloo County Board of Education, monies had been set aside for a new senior public school in Preston. With the ratification of merger, the governing body for the Preston Board of Education decided to spare no expense in building what is today William G. Davis Senior Public School. The architect and builder made certain to include features in this new school that would give it a distinctive character. The courtyard, the size and hardwood floor of the gymnasium and the skylight are a few of these special features. The builder even created the beautiful tile mosaic you see upon entrance into our school.
The school is named after the former Tory premier William Grenville Davis, the 18th premier of Ontario. He held power with his party from 1971 to 1985 and continues to be a great supporter of public education today. While holding the title of Education Minister, he established many new elementary schools, supported several key post secondary institutions across Ontario including Trent and Brock Universities, as well as twenty-two community colleges.
William G. Davis Senior Public School was originally nicknamed ‘The Crusaders’, but this was changed to ‘The Razorbacks’ to add to its uniqueness. The school was opened 45 years ago in 1968 and had as its principal R. J.Steckley. Davis has always been a community school it serves the needs of Prestonians and is a vital part of the fabric of this great community. | <urn:uuid:d2b0bc9a-5045-4a04-ad2f-d09c974bc9b8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://wgd.wrdsb.ca/about/school-history/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.980655 | 299 | 2.171875 | 2 |
The leader of the Greens in Germany called on to recognize the Holodomor as a genocide of the Ukrainian people
Co-chairman of the Alliance-90/Greens political party Omid Nouripour said that Germany should recognize the Holodomor in Ukraine as an act of genocide. The corresponding petition has been in the country’s parliament since 2019. He said it in an interview with the newspapers of the Funke media group on June 11, according to the Deutsche Welle.
According to the politician, “recognition of this brutal crime would be an important signal of empathy and historical awareness for the people of Ukraine.” “We, the Greens, support this initiative,” he said.
Omid Nouripour also recalled the petition to the Bundestag, submitted in 2019, regarding the recognition of the Holodomor as genocide. The petition gathered 73 thousand signatures for the required 50 thousand. The decision on this issue, however, has not yet been made. At the end of 2021, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine also appealed to the Bundestag with a request to recognize the Holodomor as genocide.
We will remind you that today the Holodomor of 1932-1933 was recognized as genocide of the Ukrainian people by 19 countries of the world: USA, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Vatican City, Portugal, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Georgia, Hungary, Mexico, Ecuador, Colombia, Paraguay, Peru, the Czech Republic, and Ukraine. | <urn:uuid:7f1cd034-d5c3-4f7e-9aa3-e08db234b9fe> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://holodomormuseum.org.ua/en/news/the-leader-of-the-greens-in-germany-called-on-to-recognize-the-holodomor-as-a-genocide-of-the-ukrainian-people/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.942473 | 318 | 2.125 | 2 |

This study examines the role of Social Security in the out-migration of elderly Mexican immigrants in the United States. Existing research shows that Social Security has a large impact on retirement decisions. However, far less work examines its effects on migration decisions. Aguila and Zissimopoulos (2008) find that Mexicans age 50+ who were in the United States for more than a year were less likely than those with less or no U.S. migration history to have any type of public health insurance, denoting their low contributions to Social Security systems. Social Security influences immigration as well. Sana and Massey (2000) find that the odds of out-migration from Mexico to the United States were higher for male household heads working in jobs that were not covered by Social Security compared to those with jobs with such coverage. The current lack of information on elderly return migration creates a notable gap in our understanding of retirement. This form of emigration potentially impacts U.S. social service consumption through programs such as Medicare and Supplemental Security Income, which are generally unavailable to individuals living abroad. Elderly return migration also calls into question traditional measures of elderly well-being, which often focus on financial and health measures, and omit preferences regarding location of retirement. Return migration may also impact the receiving country through economic multiplier effects that reduce unemployment and increase income in that community. | <urn:uuid:9f228bc0-51d2-4fd9-9083-d401cf0498b7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://crr.bc.edu/about-us/grants/return-migration-among-mexican-elderly-in-the-u-s/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.971416 | 284 | 2.703125 | 3 |
Ultrafast pulses of X-ray lasers reveal how atoms are transferring on femtosecond time scales. That is a millionth of a second. Nevertheless, measuring the properties of the pulses themselves is difficult. Whereas figuring out the utmost pulse energy, or “amplitude”, it’s direct, and infrequently the time when the heart beat reaches its most, or “part” is hidden. A brand new examine trains neural networks to investigate impulses to disclose these hidden subcomponents. Physicists additionally name these subcomponents “actual” and “imaginary.” Beginning with low-resolution measurements, neural networks reveal finer particulars with every pulse, and may analyze pulses hundreds of thousands of occasions quicker than earlier strategies.
The brand new evaluation methodology is as much as 3 times extra correct and hundreds of thousands of occasions quicker than current strategies. Understanding the parts of every X-ray pulse results in higher and clearer information. This can increase the vary of science doable with ultrafast X-ray lasers, together with primary analysis in chemistry, physics and supplies science, and purposes in areas corresponding to quantum computing. For instance, the extra pulse data may allow easier and higher-resolution experiments of time-resolution, reveal new areas in physics, and open the door to new investigations in quantum mechanics. The neural community strategy used right here may have extensive purposes in x-ray and accelerator science, together with studying the form of proteins or electron beam properties.
Characterizations of system dynamics are necessary purposes of X-ray free electron lasers (XFELs), however measuring the time-domain properties of the X-ray pulses utilized in these experiments is a long-standing problem. Diagnosing the traits of every particular person XFEL pulse may allow a brand new class of easier and probably higher-resolution dynamics experiments. This analysis, carried out by scientists from SLAC Nationwide Accelerator Laboratory and Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, is a step towards that aim. The brand new strategy trains neural networks, a type of machine studying, to mix low-resolution measurements in each the time and frequency domains and restore the properties of X-ray pulses with excessive accuracy. This ‘physics-informed’ model-based neural community structure may be educated immediately on unlabeled experimental information and is quick sufficient for real-time evaluation on new technology Megahertz XFELs. Crucially, the tactic additionally recovers the part, opening the door to coherent management experiments with XFELs, shaping the advanced movement of electrons in molecules and condensed matter techniques.

|Comment||Synonymy partly after WERMUTH 1967 and MANTHEY 2008. INGER (1983) synonymized D. cornutus with D. volans. Revalidated by HONDA et al. (1999). MUSTERS (1983) suspected that D. affinis may be a synonym of D. volans sumatranus which is now considered as a synonym of Draco palawanensis. Probably represents a junior synonym of D. cornutus (fide MCGUIRE & KIEW 2001). According to BARTLETT (1895) D. affinis is “similar to D. cornutus, but without large spine-like scale above the eye. Gular appendage very small, in females almost absent.”|

The original description is available online (see link below).
According to Honda et al. (1999) male D. cornutus were invariably vivid green in dorsal ground color. Their patagium usually had a more or less reddish outer margin and a number of black spots that form a few oblique bands distally and several transverse bands proximally. However, some individuals lacked such reddish margin in the patagium. Male D. volans, on the other hand, were bronze or light brown in dorsal ground color with a light green patch confined to the head and neck. Their patagium was dark brown or black with white spots. Female D. cornutus were brownish tan in ground color. Their patagium usually had reddish margin and black spots similar to the conspecific males. Coloration of female D. volans was similar to that of conspecific males. In both taxa, ventral ground colors of males were bluish grey, whereas those of females were yellowish white or white. Gular pouch of male D. cornutus was greenish white with orange yellow distal tip and without black dots at the base. On the other hand, gular pouch of male D. volans was largely milky white, but with lemon yellow margin distally and black dots at the base. | <urn:uuid:811ed279-8b9a-4a92-a540-7159f2ac4884> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://reptile-database.reptarium.cz/species?genus=Draco&species=cornutus | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.811404 | 1,077 | 2.078125 | 2 |

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) – Lightficient has announced it recently introduced Light Emitting Plasma (LEP) technology through its installation at Mercy Home for Boys & Girls in Chicago, improving the organization’s outdoor lighting quality while reducing costs, boosting energy efficiency and increasing safety. LEP technology is a new patented lighting technology that is an energy-efficient, low-maintenance, high-lumen lighting solution ideal for illuminating roadways, parking areas, manufacturing facilities and warehouses. Lightficient is the exclusive distributor of LEP technology in Illinois.
“We are excited to deliver this new, innovative lighting solution to Illinois businesses and municipalities looking to improve efficiencies and operate in an environmentally responsible way,” said Paul Burke, president at Lightficient. “With light intensity 200 times that of conventional LED from a bulb literally the size of a Tic Tac, LEP technology is a critical advancement toward energy efficiency.”
Lightficient recently demonstrated the effectiveness of its LEP technology when it replaced the metal halide lights in the parking area at Mercy Home for Boys & Girls in Chicago. Lightficient reduced the number of lights in the three parking lots, accommodating approximately 100 cars, from 28 metal halide fixtures, to 16 of the P400 LEP fixtures, all installed into the existing light poles.
“With the reduction in number of fixtures, and the fact that each fixture uses less electricity, Mercy Home has cut its energy bill for outdoor lighting by more than 50 percent,” said Burke. “And if the savings alone were not enough incentive to switch to LEP, the light quality and longetivity has been greatly increased.”
Rev. L. Scott Donahue, president, Mercy Home for Boys & Girls, noted, “Providing the 134 at-risk young people in our care with safety and support 24 hours a day, year round, is an enormous undertaking. The reliability of Lightficient’s lighting, as well as the long-term savings on energy and maintenance costs, will help us allocate more of our resources to the ultimate benefit of Mercy Home’s children.”
What distinguishes LEP lighting from high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting found in many parking lots and warehouses, as well as light-emitting diode (LED) lighting often used along roadways, is that LEP technology uses less energy, is comprised of fewer materials and is more durable, all while providing higher outputs of light closely resembling natural light.
LEP lighting can be installed new or retrofitted to existing lighting sources. “The cost to retrofit existing lighting sources with the LEP lighting is surprisingly inexpensive, allowing business owners and property managers to realize a return on their investment within two years,” said Burke.
Lightficient distributes LEP lighting solutions throughout the midwest, and is the exclusive distributor in Illinois. The firm has established relationships with several lenders specializing in lighting upgrades that are willing to loan up to 100% of the up-front cost of the upgrades.

Australian Ambassador to Nepal Felicity Volk handed over medical equipment worth AUD 45,450 (approximately NPR 41 lakh) to Professor Dr. Dibya Singh Shah, Dean of the Institute of Medicine (IOM), Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) and Dr. Samarika Dahal at the Forensic Department of TUTH.
The equipment – an ultrasound machine and a portable dental x-ray machine – were funded under the Australia Awards Alumni Grants Program to support the work of two Australian university alumni Professor Dr Shah and Dr. Dahal, said the press release of the Embassy of Australia in Kathmandu.
The x-ray machine will be used in forensic odontology services in Nepal and will expand the disaster victim identification services provided by the Forensic Department at TUTH.
Dr. Dahal is pioneer in the field of forensic odontology and received the alumni grant in recognition of her strong commitment to advocacy for improved health services in Nepal and for her active engagement in the Australia Awards Women in Leadership Network (WIL) in Nepal, added the press release.
The ultrasound machine is being provided as an alumni grant to Professor
Dr. Shah, Dean, IOM, in recognition of her leadership in the field of nephrology and transplant services in Nepal.
Handing over the equipment, Ambassador Volk said, “The Australian Government is committed to supporting health security under our Nepal COVID-19 Development Response Plan. The plan focuses on assistance for the most vulnerable and, as Nepal manages multiple challenges simultaneously, the needs of vulnerable communities are more evident than ever.”
“In recent months, we have seen health systems under immense strain; I can only imagine how difficult and stressful it must be for Nepal’s health professionals. I hope that the contribution of equipment under the Australia Awards Alumni grant program will provide support to Nepal’s health system and be a reminder of a friendship where Nepal and Australia have supported each other across many decades,” the press release reads. | <urn:uuid:504b060b-eb40-4ad3-807d-739b2806aab4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://foreignaffairsnews.com/australian-envoy-hands-over-medical-equipment-to-tuth/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570879.37/warc/CC-MAIN-20220809003642-20220809033642-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.942186 | 411 | 1.53125 | 2 |

How do you remove paint from metal pots?
Simply soak small metal pieces in a crock pot full of soapy water. Turn on the crock pot, and let the heat and soap get to work on the paint. Gently scrub the loosened paint off with a nylon brush [source: Baker].
Does vinegar remove paint from metal?
Vinegar is an excellent solution if you want to remove paint from metal objects. Let the paint soften for 10-15 minutes, then scrape it off with a paint scraper. Vinegar is a cost-effective, natural alternative to commercially available paint strippers, that contain toxic chemicals and give off harsh fumes.
How do you get paint off of brass light fixtures?
Heat the paint with a hair dryer until it is soft. Scrape the paint away with a plastic edge. Wipe the fixture clean with a soft dry cloth to remove any residual.
How do you remove paint from a copper light fixture?
Apply mineral spirits to any remaining paint, using the damp rag. Wipe the paint from the copper, using a terry cloth rag. Wipe in a circular, clockwise motion.
What is the fastest way to remove paint from metal?
In fact, an incredibly effective paint remover for metal is boiling water. This technique is best for removing old paint from items like hardware, hinges, knobs, etc, and is likely the fastest, easiest, and cheapest option if done correctly.
What is the best paint remover for metal?

Will rubbing alcohol remove paint from metal?
To safely eliminate paint stains from all metal surfaces, use lint-free rags soaked in rubbing alcohol. Rub the cloth over the paint until it’s gone. Rubbing alcohol works best on water-based paint; for oil-based paints, use acetone in place of the rubbing alcohol.
How do you get dried paint off brass?
Pour white vinegar into the pan until it covers the painted objects. Turn the burner on and bring the vinegar to a slow boil, then turn to a simmer. The paint will begin to soften and separate after a few minutes.
Can you remove paint from brass?
If you’re working with a relatively flat surface, you can use a plastic scraper to help you remove the paint, but on a brass figurine for example, wiping with something flexible like paper towels is a lot easier! The toothbrush will help you scrub the softened paint out of any small crevices.
Can you use vinegar to remove paint?
Vinegar is an easy, inexpensive and effective way to remove dried, stuck-on paint from windows and other hard surfaces. Most importantly, vinegar is economical, environmentally friendly and removes stubborn paint with absolutely no dangerous chemicals or toxic fumes. If you don’t like the aroma of vinegar, don’t worry.
Can I use paint remover on copper?
Lacquer thinner is another excellent enamel paint remover. While commonly used to remove paint from wood, it is almost equally effective at removing paint from copper. Use the same plastic trick as with the acetone. Allow the paint thinner to sit for 20 to 30 minutes, then wipe away.
Can you use paint remover on copper pipes?
Paint stripper should be fine but you could use a heat gun well away from the joints, although with the heating off the water will be nice and cool so will protect the pipe from overheating.
What is the best paint to use on copper pipes?
Best Paint For Radiator and Water Copper Pipes The perfect paint for this is Hammerite radiator paint, it is heat resistant and will not flake or peel away. It is specifically designed to handle the heat and stay rock hard for many years. | <urn:uuid:ad5c2bf2-8746-4ece-8f9e-d07b5eeeaeac> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://prismpowdercoating.net/metal-remov/often-asked-how-to-remove-brass-paint-from-pot-metal-clock-feet.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.869514 | 1,037 | 1.992188 | 2 |
In Illinois, the property owner, whether it’s a private property, a public sidewalk, a parking lot or a private business, walkways must be maintained and free from hazards that could result in a slip, trip, or fall. Unfortunately, these type of accidents are all too common, and the injuries that result can be life-changing.
Each year, more than 3 million people visit an emergency room because of slip-and-fall accidents. About 800,000 people are hospitalized and another 28,000 are killed. Falls are the leading cause of traumatic brain injuries and hip fractures, and the second-most common cause of non-fatal injuries for people ages 10 to 24. More than 25,000 older adults die from fall injuries each year.
The Chicago slip-and-fall attorneys at DZ law are dedicated to helping slip-and-fall accident victims like you get back on their feet. Find out what your injuries may be worth. Call DePaolo & Zadeikis today at 312-263-7560 for a free consultation.
Nobody is immune to slip-and-fall accidents in Illinois. In fact, although older people older than 55 and those between 10 and 24 are more susceptible to these types of accidents, slips and falls are a leading cause of injuries for all age groups. Certain circumstances, however, can increase the chances of a slip, trip or fall accident.
A significant percentage of slip-and-fall injuries occur at a place of business. In hotels, falls are a leading cause of injury, and about 70 percent of slips and falls happen on flat walking surfaces. About 90 percent of falls that happen at churches and worship centers occur on the stairs. Restaurants typically see between 3 and 9 slip-and-fall incidents that cause injuries every year, and these types of accidents are the leading cause of injuries for both patrons and employees in grocery stores. About 16 percent of workers’ compensation claims are from slip-and-fall accidents.
Whether you or your loved one is visiting a community playground, working on a construction site, taking a walk, or doing a little shopping, there are certain factors that can increase the chances of a slip and fall accident.
Performing proper maintenance and repairs, exercising reasonable care, and adequately warning visitors of slip-and-fall hazards can help prevent these accidents from happening. When property owners fail to fulfill their duty of care to visitors, they can be held liable for the damages that occur.
If you or a loved one has been injured in a slip-and-fall accident,, you may be able to recover a wide range of damages depending on the circumstances of your case and the severity of your injuries. To recover damages, however, these basic elements must be proved.
The amount that may be recovered varies significantly depending on the type of injury sustained, the severity of the injury, and the impact the injury has on your abilities in the future. Common types of injuries suffered in a slip-and-fall accident include:

Ankle pain is an extremely common complaint, and there are many causes. It is important to make an accurate diagnosis of the cause of your symptoms so that appropriate treatment can be directed at the cause. Make an appointment today to find the cause of your pain. Injury to any of the bones, ligaments or tendons in the ankle can cause ankle pain. A sprain/strain is the most common cause of ankle pain. This occurs when your ankle rolls over your foot and this may cause your ankle ligament to stretch or even tear. Sprians/Strains can occur when you walk on an uneven surface or simply take a misstep.
Signs and Symptoms
- Weakness or instability
- Ankle feels hot
- Are unable to walk or put weight on your foot
- Have severe pain and swelling
Why You Should Not Ignore The Pain Anymore
If injury doesn’t respond to self-treatment in two weeks, make an appointment. Ankle pain is treatable depending on the diagnosis. Without care, scar tissue may build up which will limit your range of motion and increase pain. You should get back to your active lifestyle without the constant pain.
How Can I Help?
A very effective method of treatment has been found to be A.R.T., Graston therapy, combined with heat and cryotherapy. Rather than just addressing just one area, ART® restores unimpeded motion and function to all soft tissues. Graston therapy is a soft tissue technique aimed at breaking up scar tissue and adhesions to promote the rebuilding of scar tissue in the correct line of force to strengthen the muscle, increase flexibility and movement, and promote normal function of the soft tissue. Graston therapy incorporates the use of stainless steel tools that are used to detect and treat scar tissue within muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia, and all other forms of soft tissue. By breaking up this poorly formed scar tissue and encouraging the body to form healthier and stronger scar tissue, the muscles and ligaments in the ankle will be allowed to move properly and will no longer be irritated, inflamed, or painful. We will also show you exercises and stretches for you to do to increase your proprioception and strength. Kinesio tape will also be applied over and around muscles in order to assist and give support or to prevent over contraction, affecting change in deeper layers of fascia by manipulating the skin and muscle and creating space underneath the skin to.

A small group of Brattleboro community members were concerned about children who were not prepared for kindergarten. Their kitchen table discussions led to the creation of the beginning of Early Education Services (EES), an arm of the Brattleboro Town School District, which offered a home visiting program using the “Parents As Teachers” curriculum model for 45 children ages 0–5, under the leadership of Superintendent Ray McNulty and Executive Director Judy Jerald. Brattleboro Town funds to support the agency demonstrated the community’s commitment to families and children. EES is well received in the community and quickly becomes successful.
EES applies for and receives significant federal Child Care Development Program Even Start funds, and state funds to open its first infant toddler classroom (“ITC”) for eight children at Brattleboro Union High School, primarily serving teen parent families, and expand home visiting, bringing the total number of EES families to 120.
EES becomes an Interim Head Start Grantee and broadens services for preschoolers with Head Start centers at Esteyville School in Brattleboro and on Buck Drive in Westminster. EES receives Early Head Start expansion funds and opens a second full-day, full-year infant-toddler site with classrooms at 130 Birge St. in Brattleboro. There is increased county-wide town support for the expansion of our Parent-Child Center playgroups, Welcome Baby Program, Teddy Bear Teas and home visiting services.
Additional Early Head Start and funding from surrounding towns develops the opportunity to increase services to more Early Head Start children and all families in Windham County, serving a total of 270 families. EES participates in the development of childcare networks and partnerships in our communities.
EES becomes a permanent Head Start Grantee and accesses state childcare funds to renovate our Birge St. site and offer two full-day, full-year classrooms for children ages 3–5 and a third Early Head Start classroom. We partner with family childcare providers and community childcare centers to expand our early care and education capacity through our “Linking Families” program.
Head Start Brattleboro classrooms move from Esteyville (Elementary) School to Canal St. (Elementary); Canal Street School becomes an exclusive early education site.
Head Start opens a new classroom for 15 preschoolers at Putney Central Elementary School.
EES launches several new initiatives:
The Infant-Child Guidance Clinic, funded by state mental health grants (Children’s Upstream Services) joins EES to provide onsite mental health services for young children and their families, and within two years this we are recognized for excellence in Vermont for this program.
EES hosts a community wide Mental Health Consortium to explore the mental health needs and resources for young children and their families with the goal of increased collaboration and communication amongst agencies
Head Start and Early Head Start classrooms become National Association for the Education of Young Children Accredited and Vermont 5 STAR rated.
EES opens Estey Dental Clinic in partnership with Dr. Yossri Karlis, in order to address the need for Medicaid patients who need dental care.
EES consults with Community Action of Brattleboro Area Inc. for the creation of an evening childcare program which opens in 2005.
EES now serves over 400 families. | <urn:uuid:8342b9e8-41d3-4c11-a9a4-00a74a7b53ae> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://earlyeducationservices.org/history/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.939636 | 681 | 1.71875 | 2 |
In simple terms, Metallography is the study of the atomic structure of different types of metallic alloys under a microscope. This field of study has been in existence since the 19th century when it was established by a British scientist called Henry Clifton Sorby. However, there have been more discoveries about metallic properties thanks to technological advancements. These advancements include the development of high-quality Akasel products for metallographic sample preparation.
In this article, we’ll be looking at the importance of Akasel products for Metallographic Sample Preparation.
If you work in a manufacturing company, then you would need to get yourself some Akasel products for efficient metallographic sample preparation. Metallography also helps construction and manufacturing companies to choose the shapes and materials that are used in building cars, bridges, and motorcycles. Metallography experts are employed to use these tools to select the most suitable metals to be used in the manufacture of items
Furthermore, metallography serves to confirm the quality of metals and metallic alloys. With the use of Akasel products, it’s possible to identify which metallic alloys have specific usage cases and physical properties. By being able to closely examine them, it is possible to tell the quality of any metal’s strength, durability, malleability, and so on. In the long run, Akasel products can help you differentiate one metal or metallic products from another
There’s an increasing demand for different types of metal. Metallographic processes and equipment are essential to gain more knowledge on alloy design. Akasel products allow experts to take an in-depth look at element microstructure. This knowledge can be applied to produce tougher and more durable metals.
Akasel products are designed to make metallographic sample preparation easier and more convenient. These products are key players in the race for innovation by metal experts. | <urn:uuid:a4c1f975-b241-45d7-aa1d-3e0b76477d94> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://the-quotes.com/the-importance-of-akasel-products-for-metallographic-sample-preparation/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.937101 | 378 | 3.078125 | 3 |
When a transformer is switched on from the primary side while keeping its secondary circuit open, it acts as a simple inductance. When the electrical power transformer runs normally, the flux produced in the core is in quadrature with applied voltage as shown in the figure below.
The flux wave will reach its maximum value, 1/4 cycle or π/2 angle later, reaching the maximum value of the voltage wave. As per the waves shown in the figure below, at the instant when the voltage is zero, the corresponding steady state value of flux should be the negative maximum (i.e. minimum value).
But it is not practically possible to have flux the instant you switch on the supply to the transformer. This is because there will be no flux linked to the core prior to switching on the supply.
The steady state value of flux will not be reached instantly. Although it’s very fast from our perspective – it takes a non-zero amount of time. The speed of this process depends on how fast the circuit can take energy.
This is because the rate of energy transfer to a circuit cannot be infinity. So the flux in the core also will start from its zero value at the time of switching on the transformer. According to Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction the voltage induced across the winding is given as e = dφ/dt. Where φ is the flux in the core. Hence the flux will be integral of the voltage wave, which can be calculated using the formula below:
If the transformer is switched on at the instant of voltage zero, the flux wave is initiated from the same origin as voltage waveform, the value of flux at the end of first half cycle of the voltage waveform can be calculated using:
Where φm is the maximum value of the steady-state flux. The transformer core is generally saturated just above the maximum steady state value of flux. But in our example, when switching on the transformer the maximum value of flux will jump to double its steady state maximum value.
After the steady state maximum value of flux, the core becomes saturated and the current required to produce the rest of flux is very high. So the transformer primary will draw a very high peak current from the source. This is known as the transformer inrush current or magnetizing inrush current of the transformer.
Magnetizing inrush current in transformer is the current which is drown by a transformer at the time of energizing the transformer. This current is transient in nature and exists for few milliseconds. The inrush current may be up to 10 times higher than normal rated current of transformer.
Although the magnitude of inrush current is so high but it generally does not create any permanent fault in transformer as it exists for very small time. But still inrush current in power transformer is a problem, because it interferes with the operation of circuits as they have been designed to function.
Some effects of high inrush include nuisance fuse or breaker interruptions, as well as arcing and failure of primary circuit components, such as switches. High magnetizing inrush current in transformer also necessitate over-sizing of fuses or breakers. Another side effect of high inrush is the injection of noise and distortion back into the mains. | <urn:uuid:e09e82b7-e6c2-472f-b031-5e4b6077ac24> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.staging.electrical4u.com/magnetizing-inrush-current-in-power-transformer/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.92637 | 667 | 3.84375 | 4 |
Newswise — New research shows that the more a baby weighs at birth relative to its gestational age the higher the risk they will suffer from childhood food allergy or eczema, although not hay fever.
Dr Kathy Gatford from the University of Adelaide’s Robinson Research Institute led a team of scientists that carried out a systematic review assessing past studies in humans. After screening more than 15,000 studies, they identified 42 that included data on more than two million allergy sufferers.
“We analysed the associations between birth weight, corrected for gestational age, and the incidence of allergic diseases in children and adults,” says Dr Gatford.
“For each kilogram increase in birth weight there was a 44 per cent increase in the risk that a child had food allergies or a 17 per cent increase in the risk that they had eczema.
“We found that increased birth weight has no influence on the risk of childhood hay fever.”
Published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, the researchers analysed studies that included over 2.1 million people affected by allergic dermatitis, commonly known as eczema, nearly 70,000 people affected by food allergies and over 100,000 people with allergic rhinitis or hay fever. Most of the studies were in children from developed countries and most were European.
“Allergic diseases including eczema, hay fever, food allergies, anaphylaxis and asthma are estimated to affect 30–40 per cent of the world’s population,” says Dr Gatford.
“It is increasingly clear that genetics alone do not explain risks of developing allergies, and that environmental exposures before and around birth can program individuals to increased or decreased risk of allergies,” says Dr Gatford.
“Although restricted growth before birth – intra-uterine growth restriction (IUGR) – is associated with increased risks of many diseases in later life, it appears to protect a child against the risk of developing allergic responses.
“The main message for mums is that big babies are at increased risk of allergy, so mothers with big babies should seek advice on modifying environmental factors to reduce those risks.”
Most of the allergies in these studies were assessed in young children. The researchers say further studies investigating allergies in older children, adolescents and adults are needed to help inform how and when restricting intra-uterine growth affected a person’s immune development and their susceptibility to allergic disease.
The study was initiated and planned by former University of Adelaide PhD student Dr Amy Wooldridge, now based at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada.

Hunters often use boats in difficult conditions, such as wind, cold, and snow. Special care must be exercised to ensure a safe trip.
- Leave a hunting plan with family or friends.
- Load the boat properly.
- Make sure each person wears a life jacket.
- Do not go if wind and water conditions aren’t safe.
Before boarding the boat, unload and case each firearm. Place the firearm in the boat first. When duck hunting with two persons, sit back-to-back.
To survive a water emergency:
- Always wear a U.S. Coast Guard–approved personal flotation device (life jacket) while you’re in the boat. Life jackets will keep you afloat and help you keep warm.
- If you get caught in a storm and your boat swamps or capsizes, stay with the boat.
Sudden immersion into cold water can cause immediate, involuntary gasping; hyperventilation; panic; and vertigo—all of which can result in water inhalation and drowning. If you fall into cold water, don’t panic. Put on a life jacket immediately if you don't already have one on. Try to reboard your boat, or get as much of your body out of the water as possible.
All-Terrain Vehicles (ATVs) are special-purpose vehicles that require careful, responsible handling and good judgment. Carry firearms unloaded, cased, and on a proper gun rack. Use ATVs only to get to the hunting area or to haul an animal from the woods—don’t shoot from an ATV. Check on your state’s rules and regulations before using an ATV when hunting. | <urn:uuid:3c7be5a3-e81c-4cf9-9296-048ff94ecd26> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.hunter-ed.com/nebraska/studyGuide/What-You-Learned-cont./20103002_93192/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.921325 | 353 | 2.625 | 3 |
TERI Launches SUFC Coalition to Decarbonise Urban Freight in India
With an aim to promote & achieve sustainability in the sector and move towards achieving the vision of decarbonisation of India’s transport sector by 2030, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has launched the Sustainable Urban Freight Coalition (SUFC) to bring together industry, academia, and civil society for Sustainable Urban Freight practices.
June 25, 2021. By Manu Tayal
With an aim to promote and achieve sustainability in the sector and move towards achieving the vision of decarbonisation of India’s transport sector by 2030, think-tank The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has launched the Sustainable Urban Freight Coalition (SUFC) to bring together industry, academia, and civil society for Sustainable Urban Freight practices.
The TERI and Environment Defense Fund (EDF) led initiative, SUFC, is a consortium of public and private stakeholders of urban freight in India.
During the launch of the coalition at a virtual event, Pawan K Agarwal, Special Secretary, Logistic Division, Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI), said “the journey of facilitating sustainable urban freight in cities shall be largely driven by local actions and urban local bodies. The coordination and partnerships with different stakeholders – city and state government agencies, private freight operators, OEMs, etc. will play a better role in facilitating solutions.”
The event also included the launch of the SUFC charter which laid out the aims, ambitions, and activities of the coalition.
Currently, there is huge potential in the urban freight sector to achieve the vision of decarbonising transport by 2030.
As per TERI’s ‘Roadmap for Electrification of Urban Freight in India’, a 14 per cent reduction in CO2 emissions is attainable in the small commercial vehicle segment in India’s urban freight, with higher penetration of electric vehicles (EV).
So far, the SUFC has partners such as Directorate of Urban Land Transport, Govt of Karnataka, and the Surat Municipal Corporation from the government. Partners from the private sectors include the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), TATA, Mahindra Rise, among others.
Additionally, SUFC has already engaged with urban local bodies (ULBs) in Surat and Bengaluru for SUF solutions. The Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) aims to switch all of its 908 vehicles engaged in solid waste management (SWM) to EVs.
The city’s textile sector, which accounts for 44 per cent of its urban freight, has also shown interest in EV adoption.
Hisham Mundol, Chief Advisor, EDF India emphasised the importance of freight in the overall economy and livelihoods and said that the focus of the Indian pathway to sustainable urban freight also incorporates better health and livelihoods of citizens.
“The focus should not be just making urban freight cheaper and greener. It shall focus on how greening can make it cheaper and this will accelerate the process,” he added.
Talking about the initiative, Sanjay Seth, Senior Director, Sustainable Habitat, TERI said that ‘what gets measured gets managed’ and TERI has taken an important step bringing all the stakeholders on one platform to study the problems and experiment the low-carbon solutions.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) — Ohio State University has successfully received a trademark on the word “THE.”
The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office approved Ohio State’s application Tuesday by issuing a registration certificate. It allows Ohio State to control the use of “THE” on “clothing, namely, t-shirts, baseball caps and hats; all of the foregoing being promoted, distributed, and sold through channels customary to the field of sports and collegiate athletics,” the certificate reads.
In other words, that’s Ohio State apparel that may display only the word “THE” on them.
Ohio State had attempted as early as 2019 to trademark the word. In response to those questioning the move, it said at the time, “Like other institutions, Ohio State works to vigorously protect the university’s brand and trademarks because these assets hold significant value.”
As trademark attorney Josh Gerben detailed in a thread on social media, the process took years because a clothing company had filed its own application to trademark “THE” around the same time. Ohio State and Marc Jacobs, the clothing company, worked to resolve their dispute so both could claim use of the word on their products.
This is not the first time Ohio State has attempted to defend its trademark on something as simple as a common word. In 2019, it went to court with a high school apparel company of its use of the letter “O.” | <urn:uuid:6e437dfb-9aee-436b-8c0a-20dece96854f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://fox8.com/news/the-ohio-state-awarded-trademark-on-the-word/?ipid=promo-link-block2 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.969569 | 312 | 1.570313 | 2 |

E-learning is basically learning that is done on the internet with the use of your computer, mobile phones etc. In our contemporary world, the learning through the aid of a computer simply means online knowledge acquisition through the internet or offline through CD-ROM etc. In other words, it is the use of network technologies to create, foster, deliver, and facilitate learning, anytime and anywhere. E-Learning is learning by utilizing electronic technologies to access educational curriculum outside of a traditional classroom. In most cases, it refers to a course, program or degree delivered completely online. E-learning has the potential to revolutionize the way we learn.
E-learning is interactive in that you can also communicate with your teachers or other students in your class. Sometimes it is delivered live, where you can “electronically” raise your hand and interact in real time and sometimes it is a lecture/lesson that has been prerecorded. There is always a teacher interacting /communicating with you and grading your participation, your assignments and your tests.
E-Learning has been proven to be a successful method of training and education is becoming a way of life for some schools in Nigeria who has embrace technology. E-learning has become a new pattern and a new philosophy in library services as well as educational sector with a mission to serve as a development platform for present-day society based on knowledge. The 7 benefits of E-learning system for secondary schools in Nigeria;
User Friendly in External Exams: currently most external exams are conducted online, e-learning boost the performance of secondary school students in public examinations especially the Senior School Certificate Examinations, SSCE, NECO and UTME.
Easy Assimilation: students easily understand most of the things they view online because it is been studied in a conductive atmosphere where there is no classroom noise most especially on the subjects they found very difficult to assimilate like mathematics etc. e-learning help in retaining information for a longer time.
It Save Cost: Instead of buying all the textbook for all the subjects offered either in art or science category, the textbook can be downloaded and study at your own continents. It also reduces the stress of carrying too many exercise /text books around. It also enables students to compare different textbooks and know the one they find friendly to use/assimilate.
Improved Academic Performance: the impacts of e-learning in facilitating academic performance through improved learning process, motivation for academic studies, self-development outcome etc. It also help students to develop potentials for rigorous academic studies and research purposes which are basically needed skills for successful academic pursuits thereby increasing the performance of the students in secondary schools preparing them for their external examinations.
Fun: E-learning has made education fun-like because u don’t need to seat and copy note that will be difficult to study during exams. In e-learning you jolt down the points that are useful in line with the topic u are studying that makes studying for examination easy and fun.
Highly Educative and informative: The e-learning system has the ability to deliver subject lessons on three platforms- mobile phones, social media(about 80% of Nigeria secondary school students are social media friendly) and e-learning.” It presents SSCE and UTME past questions and answers on each topic, highlights common errors students make in school and public examinations. The e-learning system also teaches students 21-century skills.
Enhance Quality of Education: It is pertinent to note that e-learning has greatly enhanced the quality and relevance of the curriculum. It makes subjects more relevant to both personal and group needs. The interactive nature of e-learning facilitates effective feedback.
Every school basically needs an e-learning platform for them to actively digitize their schools. | <urn:uuid:fad7978c-0171-40ec-b175-1a3f26e35080> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://soarplusltd.com/benefits-of-e-learning-system-for-secondary-schools-in-nigeria/633/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.959778 | 786 | 2.984375 | 3 |

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Does MVP Strategies work with all genders?
Yes. MVP started out as an all-male program in the early 1990s, but for the past 25 years the program has been mixed-gender. MVP focuses on everyone as empowered bystanders who can confront and interrupt abusive behaviors. Young (and older) men, women, and others often have significant differences in their options for intervention, because the social pressures on them are different. MVP also places special emphasis on discussions of gender norms in male and female peer cultures, and their relation to incidents of abuse. These kinds of issues are often heartily discussed in MVP workshops, which typically feature both single-sex and mixed-gender breakouts.
2. Is MVP Strategies primarily for student-athletes, or can other young people participate as well?
Because MVP began in sports culture and still retains some sports terminology in its name and materials, many people misperceive it as a program that is geared only at athletes. This is incorrect. MVP works with all populations of students, community members, and professionals in the public and private sectors. It is true that we have by far the most experience of any sexual assault and relationship abuse prevention program in working with student-athletes, coaches, and athletic administrators at the high school, college, and professional level. But MVP is not, nor ever has been, exclusively a “sports” program.
3. Does MVP Strategies work with high school students?
Yes. MVP has a long history of working in high schools, especially in the Greater Boston area, throughout the state of Iowa, and across the country of Scotland. MVP is well-suited to work in high schools as both a gender violence and a bullying prevention program. (See “High Schools” on this site). Some MVP curricular materials are designed specifically for high school students. Data are available about MVP’s effectiveness in high school settings in the evaluation section of this site.
4. Does MVP Strategies work with college students outside of athletics?
Yes. MVP Strategies provides a wide range of trainings for men, women and other college and university students, including everything from presentations at new student orientations and other campus-wide events, to intensive leadership trainings for RA’s, Greeks officers, student government leaders, and other campus opinion leaders. While work with athletic departments is crucial, this work is best understood as part of a coordinated campus response.
5. Does MVP Strategies incorporate culturally competent approaches to training?
Since its inception, MVP has been staffed and led by multiracial training teams that incorporate culturally competent sensibilities and pedagogical strategies. MVP’s flexibility to address a wide range of issues and perspectives is one of its greatest strengths as a teaching and learning approach. MVP has been successfully implemented with racially and ethnically diverse student populations in urban and suburban school districts, athletic programs at small elite colleges and large state universities, and other setting across the U.S. and the world.
6. There are several other “bystander” programs in the sexual and relationship abuse prevention area. What distinguishes MVP Strategies from the others?
MVP is the first and longest-running program to employ the bystander approach to prevention. Its educational philosophy emphasizes interactive dialogue, which makes training sessions dynamic and interactive. While it works in both mixed-gender and single-sex formats, MVP is the program with the most experience and success working with men in the dominant cultures of athletics, fraternities, and the military. It also is the program most identified with a “social justice”-oriented approach to prevention. For example, while MVP trainings feature exercises that assist people in developing the skills to effectively intervene in situations of harassment, abuse, or violence, they also feature explicit discussions of the gender, sexual, racial, and class factors that impact whether people (men, women, and others) are likely to interrupt or intervene in various situations.
7. What is the process for setting up an MVP Strategies training-of-trainers?
Please contact [email protected] and request information about setting up a training. Trainings of trainers are typically conducted by mixed-gender training teams (two people) and can include approximately 30 participants.
8. I want to attend an MVP Strategies training. What opportunities are available?
Trainings are held around the country at various sites; some are open to the public while others are targeted to specific communities. Please consult the “Upcoming Trainings” section of this site for information about MVP Strategies trainings in your area.
9. How do I go about becoming qualified/credentialed to be an MVP Strategies trainer?
Upon completion of a two- or three-day training of trainers, participants often receive certificates of completion and are qualified to lead MVP sessions. There is currently no uniform body authorized to certify “official” MVP trainers.
10. Is MVP evidence-based? Has it been evaluated in college and high school settings?
Yes. MVP has been evaluated in a variety of different contexts.

An e-commerce enterprise plan must be the first thing anyone who is seeking to start an E-commerce store does. As a result of it makes the critical “first impression” for the company, a poorly prepared plan is usually a cause for an investor to decline on the investment, and never take the time to ask for more information. In fact, it is unimaginable to anticipate each element just by spending time considering and writing; it is because of this that plans are referred to and viewed as “dynamic”.
A nicely-documented business plan will enable you talk an important elements of your technique and plans to the individuals who have to know them. A enterprise plan can be as small as 1 page or as large as a book depending on the size of on-line store you want to start.
The manager summary comprises a synopsis of the details of your business plan. An govt abstract, usually one web page to some pages at most, covers all the details of the enterprise plan to come back. Business plans are paperwork that clearly describe the targets of the corporate together with all major and minor particulars concerning it. It is virtually like a blue print of how you propose to build your organization or group.
Business plans consist primarily of two things: the story of what you will do, and a proper chart exhibiting the stream of cash coming out and in of what you are promoting as you do what you say you can be doing. The executive summary should tackle questions like, what is the want for such a business enterprise.

Enterprise plan is a certain result oriented methodical and arranged script. Listing the entire assumptions which were made inside the writing of your small business plan. Do not write your government abstract for yourself: write it to your readers. That is why it’s important to have a very senior financial individual in your strategic planning workforce, ideally the CFO.

The diagnosis that my daughter Mattea had been born with severe brain injuries arrived in tandem with a dire prognosis for the future of my family. Doctors volunteered the “fact” that 95% of families to which highly involved children were born failed under the strain of caring for them. Other interested parties fleshed out this statistic, saying that in nearly all cases where such families did collapse the child’s father was the one who usually jumped ship. In those families where the father stayed in the marriage chances remained high he would abandon the child emotionally, acting the roles of provider and primary insured party but leaving the lion’s share of the work of fighting for the child’s life to the mother.
This was the first of the rhetorical obstacles my husband and I encountered as we tried to steer a fair course for Mattea. The language thrown at our circumstances was overwhelmingly against our making our best efforts at retrieving her, whether it dressed itself up in inspirational rhetoric or as a scientific storying of our circumstances. Or, if we did accomplish some success, the credit for that success was siphoned off in other directions. I call these kinds of discourses “stealing God” narratives–narratives that appropriate religious or other powerful language in order to curb social consciousness and reduce personal or social responsibility during mortal crises. Also, stealing God narratives may appropriate sacred language to mine the power of such crises for personal profit, be it for “spiritual profit,” financial profit, or for some other form of exploitation or control.
Stealing God narratives divide into three categories: failure folklore, firewall folklore, and stealing God narratives proper wherein someone exploits another’s circumstances for personal benefit, self-stimulating “inspirational” stories being among them.
Folklorists define failure folklore as folklore that reinforces cultural, religious, or philosophical boundaries for what is possible or for what ought to be done in particular circumstances. Such narratives recount tales of disaster or predict misfortune for anyone transgressing such boundaries or for anyone failing to meet the criteria for maintaining them. Doctors’ helpful statistics regarding the nearly inevitable destruction of our family fall into this category.
This is not to say that families don’t falter beneath the weight the responsibilities of caring for a child with challenges adds to the high load of raising a family. Certainly, ours did–it still does. And we know some families who have more or less followed the pattern doctors and others warned us about early on. What fascinates me is that of all the narrative paths marked out at the beginning of our task, by far, failure narrative dominated the discussion–what wasn’t possible or what Mattea or we would never be able to do. To try would likely lead at the very least to disappointment and at the worst to disaster. Very little of our health care specialists’ language engaged what was possible for our daughter or for us, her caretakers.
Within a year our circumstances moved us to the margins of our LDS community. The reasons this happened have more to do with living in a state of constant emergency than with anything else. However, at these margins we found ourselves swimming against currents of firewall folklore and “stealing God” discourse, names I coined to describe the linguistic phenomena we encountered.
Well-meaning people, overcome with the pathos of our situation, shared with us stories that we came to understand acted as a firewall for their thinking about our problem. Being told “She was one of the few who opposed Satan face-to-face during the War in Heaven and this is his revenge upon her” or “She must be so perfect already that she doesn’t need to be tested like the rest of us” did not fill our beggar’s cup for the here and now, as it seemed to be intended to do. Eventually we came to realize such language wasn’t meant to help us but rather to protect the storyteller. Language of this sort puts up the message, “We can do nothing here; it’s out of our hands.” These stories may affirm faith but have as a deeper purpose dousing or containing fires that the endless ironies and conflicts of mortal crises kindle like sparks from a downed power line. In effect, it resigns responsibility, relegates the disabled to one degree or another of the “not accountable” category (denying them the chance of developing any potential for free agency that remains to them), and propagates the language of abandonment.
Stealing God proper discourse may be demonstrated with a story. When Mattea was about three years old I tried to wean her completely to solid foods. She lost her swallow reflex and developed a tongue thrust that pushed most of the food I gave her back out of her mouth. She lost weight rapidly. We were faced with the prospect of surgically implanting a feeding tube (inevitable, according to doctors) to prevent her from starving to death.
One day as I tried to feed her she swallowed an even tinier fraction of food than usual. At the end of my rope, I spread my arms wide, looked up at the ceiling–toward heaven–and said, “There must be a simple solution to this problem! Tell me what it is!”
In that moment I flashed on a memory. As a child I had been responsible for medicating the family dogs. I had opened their mouths, placed the pill as far back on their tongues as I could, held their muzzles shut and massaged their throats, which produced an involuntary swallowing reflex. Down went the pills. I wondered: If the trick worked on dogs would it work for my daughter?
I put some food in Mattea’s mouth and promptly tilted her bottom jaw up and held it there with one hand so she couldn’t open it. With my other hand I massaged her throat. She swallowed! Everything went down. At every meal for the next couple of days I performed this simple procedure with the result that her swallowing reflex re-engaged and within a few days she was swallowing on her own, taking in huge amounts of food and gaining weight.
Shortly after this I was speaking on the phone to a relative–I’ll call her Relative X. The conversation went like this:
Me: We solved Mattea’s eating problem! She’s taking in enough food. We don’t have to put in the stomach tube!
Relative X: (A pause) Well “¦ that must be because [Relative Y] has been attending the temple every morning in [Place Z]!”
My husband and I have seen our best efforts and inspiration in Mattea’s behalf co-opted repeatedly in this fashion. The general pattern boils down to this: when we experience success some people assume we have succeeded not because of blessings related to our efforts and Mattea’s own heroic strivings but because of their righteous prayers in our behalf. Sometimes people assume that any success we experience that occurs in proximity to any of their (presumed) righteous actions must have occurred as a direct result of their actions, post hoc ergo propter hoc. But when we experience setbacks these same people insinuate the misfortune occurred because we lacked somehow in worthiness.
Over the years I’ve come to realize that mortal crises are in truth powerful situations. They generate energy that flashes like lightning bolts between divine and mortal states. Miracles, inspiration, and spiritual and psychological awakenings bloom in these charged pathways, and the conditions they illuminate and the changes they cause draw eyes, some of which are hungry. In many cases people’s prayers for Mattea’s and our well-being contribute to our own exertions and help draw upon this power. As we rejoice at our successes, such people congratulate us and rejoice with us, expressing their love for us, their respect for our circumstances, and their gratitude to God for helping us. But in many other cases the language we meet in the wake of such energy surges (or depletions) exploits circumstances to support ideas of self-worthiness or to satisfy some other personal spiritual hunger or greed. As such it may be considered predatory.
I’ve written about exploitative and predatory language before in my series of posts “The Working Language of Good and Evil.” Also, I’ve raised issues about narrative’s effects upon the circumstances of and prospects for the disabled. (Here is a good post on that subject from another author.) In fact, stealing God discourse swirls about in any situation where exploitation occurs, in human interaction with the environment and with non-human species, for example, or in mega-international government-backed institutions that employ stealing God rhetoric for control and financial gain. I’ve used the example of my family’s struggle because that’s one place I’ve found such rhetoric to be especially burdensome. Furthermore, some stealing God rhetoric doesn’t invoke God, as in the language our doctors perpetrated. It mines whatever transactional power its target perceives as being essential to success or to the warding off of misfortune.
LDS have little difficulty recognizing stealing God rhetoric where it occurs outside their culture, especially when it attempts to justify spectacular atrocities like mass murder. Many, but not all, LDS will pick up on the violatory nature of such language when it tries to justify destructive or predatory behavior at the fringes of or within LDS communities. Less often are LDS conscious of the more subtle and highly nuanced shades of stealing God rhetoric that occur in daily conversation.
The language of belief can do better than have the appearance of meaning or doing good; that is, it must do better than merely seem to speak with the tongues of angels. The language of belief is kind, kindness being, I have discovered over the years, one of the highest forms of intelligence. Such language is fruitful language, sustaining not only itself but through propagation it offers itself to meet the needs of others. It does not advance itself by exploiting others’ fortunes or misfortunes. It labors to close the gap between people and between a people and that to which it aspires, like the company of God. Language of belief does not assert itself against its neighbor or against the universe. As it probes the teeming distances between what is and what is possible, it is joyously exploratory. It asks “What is it?” and listens in wonder to the multi-facetted response. It questions itself as thoroughly as it questions Other, and when it finds itself lacking, it takes upon itself the responsibility to find the next best thing, the revelatory metaphor, the liberating paradox, the ever-expanding symbol, thereby crossing boundaries established by less productive, less creative, less pro-active, and less kind words.

What we’re actually seeing is the systematic implementation of the fall of the republic and the rise of the corporation of The United States.
Every major event is a step in the ladder to achieve that end.
COVID is just another rung in the ladder - which is why there’s a deliberate mixing of all the word play.
I mean we should stop calling it quarantine. That’s a term designated for people that are verified sick.
This is a house arrest mandated by the state.
You should stop calling it social distancing. There’s nothing social about forced isolation.
We should stop saying safer at home when millions of Americans don’t have basic necessities adequate to fit their needs. It assumes that everybody’s home is equally as safe as the people that are making the statements.
We should stop saying this is for the greater good.
When you close the economy, killing millions of businesses that families have worked generations to establish — that’s anything but good.
We should stop saying this is the new normal. That’s just blatant mind control drivel. There’s nothing normal about forced isolation — treating your neighbor like they have the plague. breathing your own bodily waste, wearing masks, living in constant fear of contamination.
I mean, after all, if the virus is so deadly why hasn’t it wiped out the homeless who don’t social distance, wash themselves regularly, let alone live in or have access to a sterile environment.
Last year 1.5 million people died of tuberculosis.
Why were you not wearing a mask during the tuberculosis pandemic?
You were endangering public health and safety along with billions of other people around the globe.
So why didn’t you wear a mask?
I’ll tell you why: because the mainstream media didn’t tell you to wear a mask.
And so, because though 1.5 million people died from tuberculosis, there was no tuberculosis pandemic, any more than there’s a coronavirus pandemic.
What you’re really participating in is a beta test for AI systems and facial recognition.
See these cameras work best when people are distanced apart.
Now they’re actually testing through machine learning how to recognize a face that’s partially covered.
It’s also a way to easily determine who’s compliant who’s not, who does the propaganda work on and who it doesn’t.
Now get this, there’s some ironies that are here.
So a society that kills millions of babies a year for convenience has shut itself down to prevent adults from dying.
People that, on the one hand, slaughter babies in the womb by the millions are now preaching to the masses about the sanctity of human life.
It’s double speak. Double talk.
It’s the two doctrine policy — one for the initiated, one for the uninitiated. One for the inner circle, another for the masses.
It’s like saying, if i violate the stay-at-home order I can be arrested. But you’re letting convicted criminals out of prison so they don’t get coronavirus.
Thesis. Antithesis. Synthesis.
If there’s a real pandemic, does it require, faulty virus models, rigged test results, 81% false positives, inaccurate news reporting, stageed hospital overruns, manipulated death certificates?
When the government shuts down, millions of small businesses but doesn’t lay off any government employees, it’s not about the health.
When the state bans dentists from practicing but deems it necessary for abortion clinics to stay open, it’s not about your health.
When the state prevents you from buying seeds for your garden but allows you to purchase lottery tickets, it’s not about your health.
An institution that has the ability to destroy all of earth through alleged nuclear warfare, should not regulate personal self-defense.
An institution that’s caught trafficking drugs shouldn’t be able to regulate plants.
An institution that’s racked up 23 trillion, prior to coronavirus, in debt shouldn’t be allowed to manage the retirement fund.
An institution that was caught spreading STDs should not be allowed to run health care.
And people are really concerned about public health and safety in general. But they don’t care if people eat garbage, drink poison, smoke cancer and take prescription drugs, but think that toilet paper, hand sanitizer, masks are going to protect them from the boogeyman coronavirus.
This is a special kind of stupid that I can’t address here.
You should ask yourself a couple basic questions.
When did you consent from you creating a government to serve you, to you serving the government ruling over you.
If you want to know who’s in charge, just think about who you can and can’t criticize.

About the area
Measuring less than 20 miles (32.4 km) across, Rutland has a resident population of around 37,000, and apart from Oakham and Uppingham most of its inhabitants live in tiny villages and hamlets like Exton.
The county’s name possibly derives from the 11th-century word ‘Roteland’, denoting the red colour of the soil in the east of the region; or it could have been part of the estate belonging to an early landowner called Rota. Whatever the origin of the name, one thing is certain, and that is that this tiny county has had a complicated history. The modern bit starts in 1974 when it was dissolved into Leicestershire. After more than 20 years of protest by unrepentant Rutlanders the county was happily reinstated in 1997.
The major tourist draw of Rutland was created in 1975, and is Rutland Water, a body of water which, at 5,000 acres, is the largest man-made reservoir in Europe. As well as a mass of wildlife and water pursuits such as windsurfing and sailing, Rutland Water also has its own church, which is now a museum, sitting on an outcrop that juts out into reservoir.

Southern Delaware Tourism (SDT) and Sussex County, Delaware history and heritage tourism partners have created See You in September
, a month-long celebration of Sussex County heritage. This promotion is aimed at encouraging visitors to extend their early fall weekend stays in order to take advantage of the many history focused events and attractions occurring during the weeks between September 9th and October 8th.
Southern Delaware museums, attractions, events, and tours spotlight Native American history, agricultural history, maritime and military history, natural history, industrial history, architectural history, social history, aviation history, railroad history, and more. Sussex County’s charming seaside and riverside towns each have their own fascinating tales - war stories, tales of political intrigue, stories of pirates and shipwrecks and buried booty, and even some tales that listeners might prefer not to hear after dark.
“Our area has a rich history dating back to well before the colonial period that visitors and even many locals are not aware of,” says Scott Thomas, Southern Delaware Tourism’s Executive Director. “This event, bookended by the Nanticoke Indian Powwow in September and the Lewes History Book Festival in October gave us the opportunity to work with our partners, including hotels, chambers of commerce, museums, attractions, tour operators, state parks, and event and festival organizers, to highlight this history and all of the heritage assets that we’re so fortunate to enjoy throughout Sussex County.”
In conjunction with tourism partners, SDT has consolidated history-related events scheduled between September 9th and October 8th into a See You in September webpage where history buffs can mix and match events, tours, and venues to plan visits based on their specific interests. The site also includes museum listings and a link to antiques shopping itineraries. The webpage can be found at www.VisitSouthernDelaware.com/See-You-September
“This is a great way to remind our visitors and local residents that fascinating History is in Reach of our Beach,” says Thomas. | <urn:uuid:59db959d-b6fd-4ed1-adb4-1eec1b90d7fc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.leweschamber.com/news/community/see-you-september-promotion-shines-spotlight-southern-delaware-history-attractions | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.947114 | 422 | 2.0625 | 2 |
*On February 8th, 2021, the Chief Election Commissioner Wangdu Tsering announced the results of the preliminary round of parliamentary elections. According to him, a record 77% of voters turned out, with Tibetans from 26 countries going to the polls at 57 local Election Commissions around the world.
Tibetan refugees, including monks, elders, women and young people from around the world flocked to voting booths to exercise their right to vote. In the Himalayan town of Mcleodganj, nestled in the lap of the Dhauladhar ranges in North India, a steady flow of eager voters turned out, in spite of rain and icy cold winds.
The voting booth had its own significance; located next to the Tsuglagkhang Complex - the official home of the 14th Dalai Lama, Tenzin Gyatso.
A tall, bespectacled man with a cream coloured ‘Free Tibet’ tote bag hung on his shoulders, pushed a folded slip in the ballot. He turned, showed his inked thumb and introduced himself, “I am Sonam Tsering, General Secretary of the Tibetan Youth Congress (TYC), the largest NGO in exile”. Proud to be volunteering during the election, he remarks that for every Tibetan this is a moment of pride. Pulling up a red plastic chair to sit in a corner under a canopy of fluttering prayer flags lit up by a feeble sun, Sonam said, “It is a blessing in disguise for each Tibetan. Even in exile we are practicing democracy and reforms within the democratic institutions like any other democracy in the world. It’s a gift from His Holiness to the People of Tibet to practice and make it good”.
We continued our conversation later in Sonam’s office. Pointing to a board with photos of executive members, Sonam tells me about the organisation’s history; its 89 regional chapters and over 35,000 members, some of whom have gone on to become parliamentarians, including the current President Lobsang Sangay. “We have contributed to laying the foundation for democracy and for its idea to grow”.
In 2003 when he was just 10 years old, Sonam walked through the mountain passes, crossing icebergs, glaciers and ravines with his cousin and some men from Tibet to India via Nepal. “For us democracy is a portal for entering the world of expressions. We nurture this ‘gift’ on behalf of the Tibetans inside Tibet as ‘their voice’ as well as a ‘political expression’ of our struggle against oppression by China for a free Tibet”, says Sonam solemnly. Clearly for any Tibetan to vote, volunteer, campaign and contest elections in exile is an ‘act of resistance’ as well as a stand on pursuing their political goals through non-violent action, an ideology which is now being passed on to the next generation through a democratic process. Sonam describes himself as a son of the snow land. “I will go back to my free land one day”, he declares.
Youth have ideas
In my conversations with activists over the course of the election period, examples of Tibetan inter-generational learning and leadership were not in short supply. “I know about Tibet only through the lens of my father and grandmother. Their stories of fear, oppression and escape from Tibet is how I understand my relationship with Tibet. I am the third generation of Tibetans living in exile”, shares 29-year-old Rinzin Choehan, Director of the India Chapter of Students for Free Tibet, a grassroots organisation with 650 chapters in universities and colleges across 100 different countries.
“It is challenging to keep our movement alive, negotiate inter-generational perspectives, preserve and protect our culture, as well as balance and ensure unity amongst all factions of opinions that struggle to keep community cohesion. Even though there are opposing opinions, young people both standing for election and voting derive their inspiration from the ‘seed of democracy’ sown in the 1960s by the Dalai Lama, followed by a charter in 1991 and then reforms in 2001 and 2011”, she adds. Laying the democratic foundations has been instrumental in shaping the psyche of Tibetans which now forms the core action and vision of the Tibetan movement.
Choehan passionately narrated her father’s escape with his parents from Tibet to India, noting that on several occasions they had no food to eat and ‘had to boil their shoes to drink soup made of it’. As she recounted the demise of her grandparents on the way from Tibet to India, being born in exile and growing up in India, I was struck by the resilience of the community. Every Tibetan has a story of struggle, frustration and separation from their families, and with it, a deep resolve to share it with the world. Choehan’s coffee is getting cold, she hasn’t touched it; her expression is fiery as she describes the dynamics of Tibetan democratic processes and the role of youth in ‘carrying forward the baton’. “Youths have ideas. We use creative ways to include and connect with all. Our approach to building peace is inclusive”, she says.
As she describes their strategies, Choehan spreads her hands wide in a sweeping manner, a gesture of the diversity and inclusivity that remains their mantra for advancing peace, non-violent communication and dialogue. "The democratisation of our movement and ensuring inclusivity is important to keep the unity,” emphasised Choehan. She described how they have used songs and arts to provoke a response and build solidarity with Tibetan and non-Tibetan youths. Citing several episodes, events and examples she adds, “We have organised band expressions, live music, poetry reading to blend traditional cultural values with contemporary forms to make it relevant for our generation”– certainly a tool for promoting their political struggle.
A platform for peace
Various political and social dynamics underpinned the recent elections. Tibetans took to the polls against the backdrop of an India-China standoff in the Galwan Valley, located in the southeastern border of the Union Territory of Ladakh and Tibet. A generation of Tibetans aged between 30 and 50 arrived with a razor-sharp acumen for global geo-politics, and a clear sense of their collective vision for peace. Their perspectives interweave community peacebuilding with Tibet’s global projection as Asia’s hope for harmony.
From electoral processes to strengthening democratic institutions, cultural resistance to lobbying and networking with governments, the next generation are leading efforts to take on political roles, contest elections and take their struggle for peace and democracy to the next level. In a world ravaged by violence and hostility, their methods present a unique model to respond to conflict in their own lives. I also spoke to Tensing Kalsang, one of the candidates who has made it to the final round to become an MP, currently in 17th place in her region, Utsang. She was born and brought up in India and currently a Tibetan and gender activist. In 2018 she co-founded Drokmo, an organisation working on gender issues. As Kalsang says, “Our elders did not have a ground beneath them. They struggled to survive and make ends meet but we have a solid ground beneath us”. As the next generation brings their wisdom, experience and energy to their struggle, it also recognises its longevity and the ongoing momentum in His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s courageous leadership. “The election process and electing our government (though not recognised by India) gives legitimacy to the representation of the Tibetan people inside Tibet. By asserting and ensuring this legitimacy, we sustain our separate identity, an identity which is not Chinese but Tibetan. This is important for us”. In the bigger context, this is crucial for young Tibetans. Tenzin Jigdal, currently in third place among candidates shortlisted to become MPs, is contesting from the Dotoe region in Tibet. Raised in India and the UK, he has been very active in the Students for Free Tibet (SFT), and was President of the network in the UK. He is currently International Coordinator for the International Tibet Network. When I spoke to him, he pointed out, “It is important to remind ourselves that this idea has to pass on to the next generation”.
The perceptive, compassionate and visionary leadership shown by youth-led grassroots political organisations like TYC and SFT, as well as His Holiness the Dalai Lama, provide a platform for youth activism and expression. It stems from a democratic ethos and inclusive strategies that ensure unity of the people of Tibet. In the words of Sonam, “Different groups and organisations might have different opinions and political positions but we all communicate with each other to arrive at best solutions for better peace”.
Among the young Tibetans I spoke with, all of them emphasised that community cohesion and unity is a priority for the next generation. While young people in exile may not have their feet on the physical land of Tibet, they are the first generation with the fursat (time) to strategise for peace and reconciliation. By focusing on inclusivity, democracy, and bridging intergenerational and ideological divides, they are keeping the flames of peace alive from a distance. A new narrative is theirs to craft. | <urn:uuid:b1ff9701-c8af-41fa-9b6a-c85819aff38c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.peaceinsight.org/ar/articles/passing-baton-next-generation-tibetans-building-peace-exile/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571472.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811133823-20220811163823-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.964009 | 1,946 | 2.015625 | 2 |

Laws have been passed under both Oklahoma and federal governments which prohibit discriminating on the basis of defined protected characteristics. In Bristow, government and private organizations may be held liable for discrimination, depending on what type of trait the unfair treatment was originally based on.
How Does Employment Discrimination Occur?
If an employee is a member of a legally protected category and their employer treats them unfairly because of that, the employer will be held liable for employment discrimination. Traits that employers may not use to evaluate you include race, national origin, gender, religion and familial status. The plaintiff must prove that their employer intended to treat them unfairly because of their protected status in order to prevail on a discrimination claim in Bristow, Oklahoma.
How can Employment Discrimination be Proven in Oklahoma?
This can be shown if the employer has a history of mistreating people of the same status, or if individuals testify regarding the employer's specific statements that a reasonable person would conclude are biased. Furthermore, an employer who fires someone or otherwise retaliates because of a discrimination lawsuit is in clear violation of the law.
Employment discrimination claims have complicated filing procedures, because they involve pursuing the claim with specific agencies. Lawyers in the city of Bristow, Oklahoma may direct you in filing your claim on time, and while your case is pending, they can help you pursue additional remedies that might be available for you. | <urn:uuid:5d71da23-db6c-48e7-a1a4-97bb57fb4fb2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://employment-law.legalmatch.com/OK/Bristow/employment-discrimination-law.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.950997 | 279 | 2.359375 | 2 |
Today’s First Reading from the Book of Genesis involved the Divine calling of Abraham to become the spiritual father of the people of God. The appearance of Abraham in history marked a new era. God intervened in the course of history, reshaping its future to embrace His Divine Plan of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
The Lord called Abram to take his relatives and to depart from his country and his father’s house. From there, all would journey to the land that the Lord would show them through Abram.
From this biblical passage, we learn that Abram did not take the initiation to communicate with God or to seek His blessings. Rather, it was Yahweh who made the first initiation. Equally, when we were called to become Christians in the living faith, it was not by our own initiation. Rather, it was the grace of God that was manifested in us first. “In this is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us…”
The fiat of Abram embraced two commands. First, he was required to completely disassociate himself from his pagan past. Secondly, he was required to migrate to a land of God’s choice. Equally, when we accepted Christ in our lives through faith in Jesus and the Sacrament of Baptism, we were called to detach ourselves from our past. “So if anyone is in Christ, there is a new creation: everything old has passed away. And our migration is our spiritual journey in the Sacramental life of the Holy Catholic Church, the Body of Christ.
God promised Abraham, that of him, He would make a great nation, that He would bless him and make great his name so that Abraham would be a blessing to many. Abraham was the first of many to be made righteous not through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.
Abraham did not say, “Oh Lord, can it wait until tomorrow, I am tired.” Nor did he say, “Lord, I am too old to start walking blindly, not knowing where you are going to guide me.” As the Virgin Mary gave her fiat unconditionally to the angel of the Lord, Abraham gave his fiat unconditionally to Yahweh. These models of perfect fiats remind us that we should not delay our commitment to accept Christ in our lives. We should not delay our admission into the Body of Christ through the Sacrament of Baptism. Nor should we delay our obligation to receive the Sacraments of Confession and the Holy Eucharist on a regular basis to maintain our righteousness before God.
Today’s Second Reading from the Second Letter of Timothy is a reminder that God calls each and everyone of us. God wants us to become holy, reminding us that we have received our life and immortality through the Gospel.
When we received the Sacrament of Confirmation, having been perfectly bound to the Church and enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit, as true witnesses, we became more strictly obligated to spread and defend the Catholic faith by our words and deed.
During today’s reading from the Gospel of Matthew, we heard that in the company of Peter, James and his brother John, Jesus transfigured on a high mountain. What was the exact purpose of His transfiguration, three reasons can be given.
(1) First of all, when God spoke from Heaven, as He had spoken during the Baptism of Jesus, the son-ship of Jesus was being revealed to those who were present.
(2) Secondly, when the face of Jesus shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white, the event may have testified to the fact that the Lord Jesus was the true Light which enlightens everyone.
(3) Thirdly, the transfiguration may have foreshadowed the eternal reign of Jesus as God and King in Heaven. The Book of Revelation tells us, “And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light…” “God is light and in him there is no darkness at all.”
When Moses and Elijah appeared, Peter must have recalled the brightness of the face of Moses on Mt. Sinai when He received the Ten Commandments. Moses and Elijah were symbolic figures, representing the Law and the Prophets. Jesus was not about to receive a new revelation; He was uniting the two, He being the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets.
While Jesus spoke with Moses and Elijah, “a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!'” The bright cloud is a symbol of the presence of God.
When the supernatural event was finally over, Jesus and His disciples went down the mountain. While doing so, Jesus ordered them, “Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” For it was not yet the time for the world to know and understand that Jesus was closing the age of the Law and the Prophets. And begin an era of his Gospel.
Today’s three readings remind us that the Heavenly Father sent His only begotten Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, so we may be saved through the grace and mercy of a loving God who never abandoned us to sin, suffering and death. Before we were created, the Lord God called us with a holy calling. Through Christ, He showed us the way, the truth and the life. And asked us to listen and follow Him. | <urn:uuid:380c98ac-e1b4-4904-bfdb-1682e94f04ce> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://risenchristkalispell.org/2020/03/march-8-2020-second-sunday-of-lent/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.981859 | 1,154 | 2.203125 | 2 |
Conversations about police reform in lawmaking and legal scholarship typically take a narrow view of the multiple, complex roles that policing plays in American society, focusing primarily on their techniques of crime control. This Article breaks from that tendency, engaging police reform from a sociological perspective that focuses instead on the noncriminal functions of policing. In particular, it examines the role of policing in the daily maintenance of racial residential segregation, one of the central strategies of American racial inequality. Unlike previous work that touches on these issues, this Article argues that police reformers and police leaders should adopt an anti-segregation approach to policing. It also offers legal frameworks and policy prescriptions that flow from an anti-segregation ethic in police governance.
This Article begins by setting forth a rich account of residential segregation, clarifying the distinction between easily measurable proxies for segregation and the type of segregation with which law and policy should be concerned: the spatial separation that confines, subordinates, and dominates. It then identifies and illustrates six mechanisms through which American policing perpetuates residential segregation, drawing from sociological research, including qualitative narratives collected in Dallas County, Texas; Cuyahoga County, Ohio; and Baltimore, Maryland. Next, the Article sketches the architecture of anti-segregation policing, offering legal frameworks based on fair housing law and federal and state consent decrees, as well as a non-exhaustive set of practical approaches police departments could take to advance an anti-segregation agenda. Finally, the Article engages a fundamental question central to police transformation movements today: Is meaningful police reform, including anti-segregation policing, possible in a society that is structured through race? | <urn:uuid:b7497211-4582-4da0-ae3a-330e588ccf75> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.nyulawreview.org/issues/volume-95-number-3/anti-segregation-policing/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.941554 | 331 | 2.234375 | 2 |

In the context of prenatal screening, diagnostic tests such as amniocentesis and trophoblast are of high diagnostic accuracy but are accompanied by a low risk of pregnancy elimination (1/200 to 1/400 are amniocentesis rates and about 1 / 100 to receive trophoblast).
Non-invasive prenatal testing is the latest development in the field of prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities. This is an innovative test based on the medical discovery that maternal blood circulates free fetal genetic material which can now be isolated and examined for the most common chromosomal abnormalities and syndromes.
The test is carried out by simple blood collection from the mother from the tenth (10th) week of pregnancy and the results are sent within five days of receipt of the sample.
The process is easy, 100% safe and with high precision results.
Non-invasive prenatal testing can detect a wide range of chromosomal abnormalities and conditions with high sensitivity:
- Trisomy 21 (Down Syndrome)> 99.1%
- Trisomy 18 (Edward's syndrome)> 99.9%
- Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome)> 91.7%
- Trisomy 16
- Trisomy 22
- Gender-related chromosomal abnormalities (96.2%)
- Turner Syndrome (XO)
- Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY)
- Triple X
- Hyperthylix (XXX) Jacobs Syndrome (XYY)
- The gender of the fetus
- Various microscopic syndromes, caused by a chromosomal deletion or lack of genetic material from a particular chromosome.
- DiGeorge Syndrome (22q)
- Angelman / Prader-Willi syndrome (15q)
- Jacobsen's Syndrome (11q)
It is recommended for all women of all ages, but is particularly indicated in pregnant women:
- Over 35 years of age
- Are considered high risk (abnormal neck examination, abnormal Papp-a test, suspected ultrasonographic findings, chromosomal markers in the second level ultrasound)
- With previous history of pregnancy with chromosomal abnormality
- Who want to learn about the health of their fetus
- After in vitro fertilization
Today, based on the potential of market tests and the guidelines of the scientific bodies, if the test shows that there is an increased probability that the embryo suffers from a chromosomal abnormality, genetic counseling and confirmation of the result by taking trophoblast or Amniocentesis, becomes necessary. | <urn:uuid:571b7794-1369-476e-9e2d-fde6197cab7d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ivfgreece.com/services/prenatal-diagnosis | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.890454 | 544 | 2.71875 | 3 |
Ecological sanitation toilets are the best option to deal with mounting sewage burden in India.
Untreated sewage is the biggest source of water pollution in India with around 70 percent of the raw sewage generated in urban areas entering lakes, rivers, seas and underground aquifers. As India builds more toilets in pursuit of ending open defecation, water pollution is increasing exponentially. The treatment facilities are simply not able to match the sewage generation capacity of toilets. Lack of water in many places also reduce the use of toilets. What could be a viable solution?
Ecosan (short for ecological sanitation) toilets are improved versions of old dry toilets that do not demand water for flushing. The improvements are related to better handling and reuse of excreta as compost. Water hinders degradation of excreta while ash, leaves and sawdust speed it up.
Here is a video on my experience of using an ecosan toilet in Uttarakhand where I live.

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.” (Gen. 3:4)
Yes, it’s Easter season, and Christians are supposed to be focused now on the Resurrection, not on Good Friday. But we’ve been stuck in Good Friday for going on 3 years now. Too many lost loved ones during the pandemic: to Covid, to the unexpected side effects of the various vaccines, and to the collateral physical, psychological and economic effects of the lockdowns; and just as we are rounding a corner on the plague, we’ve encountered the uncertainties of economic instability, social unrest and war.
In early 2022, the life insurance industry announced its shock that in the United States, they’d discovered a 40% increase in non-Covid deaths among people aged 18-64. For scale, the industry considers 12% to be a “catastrophic” increase. Forty percent is a high expected to occur once in 200 years. Thus far, there is no obvious explanation for this dramatic increase.
Death is inevitable and normal, the expected outcome for all living things. Even though we know that everyone will die of something, we pursue health through diet and exercise, and we get screened and vaccinated, thinking that by doing so we will live longer. While quality of the life we have is important, and no one should live recklessly, none of those things can add a single day to our lives (Ps. 139:16b).
Yet death also remains abnormal. We know this in a visceral way, even without the Bible telling us that “death is the last enemy” (I Cor. 15:26). Jesus convulsed with grief at the death of His friend, Lazarus (John 11:38), and was overwhelmed in anticipation of His own impending death (Luke 22:44). We try to control the normal, all while knowing the abnormal is outside our control. The psalmist describes our journey through this life as “the valley shadow of death” (Ps. 23:4). Yet the sheep eat and drink as they follow the Shepherd, resting in peace, even in the presence of their enemy, Death.
As Believers, we are born into this life, we are born anew into life in Christ, and in death we are born to eternal life. But it seems that in the crucible of the past two years many Believers have lost their focus on eternal life with Christ, instead allowing a fear of death to overtake them, robbing them of their joy and silencing their gospel witness.
Life in the Kingdom of God is risky, but we have certain hope in the Lord!
Jesus has taken the Serpent’s lie to our parents in the Garden of Eden – the lie that introduced Sin and Death and separation from God into the world - and turned it into the truth of Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, the truth that vanquished Sin and Death and opened the gate to eternal life in the presence of God for those who believe. If this life is all there is, then death is an enemy; but for Christ-followers, the best is yet to come.
Brothers and sisters, this is both our goal and our message to the world – that Death is not normal, that Jesus has overcome that enemy, and that without a fear of death, a hope-filled life is not only possible, it’s the real “new normal.”
Let us remember what it is to “die well” by first refocusing our vision on the certain hope of life after death, recalibrating our lives in Christ, and then taking every opportunity presented to us to proclaim, “He is risen indeed!”
“And everyone who lives and believes in me will never die…” (John 11:26). | <urn:uuid:3b21f56e-e19b-42e0-bcec-2f610229ad8f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ppl.org/post/death-the-last-enemy | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.956591 | 801 | 1.507813 | 2 |

Purpose: To describe the angiographic features of hepatic involvement in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), particularly the presence of portovenous shunts.
Methods: We reviewed the angiographic findings of seven patients with HHT. The patients comprised three women and four men with a mean age of 51 years.
Results: Intrahepatic telangiectasias were found in all seven patients and shunts between three vascular channels were found in six of seven patients. In the four patients who had portovenous shunts combined with arterioportal shunts, the portovenous shunts were large. Three patients had no portovenous shunts. Two of these patients had arteriovenous shunts, and one had no shunt. The mean age (69 years) of the patients with portovenous shunts was older than those without portovenous shunts (26 years).
Conclusions: Hepatic vascular lesions in HHT are varied, ranging from telangiectasias to large shunts between three vascular channels. In an advanced stage of involvement, large portovenous shunts are present. | <urn:uuid:a99c3773-6005-49b1-8f0f-7a9f1d282ba2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12813620/?dopt=Abstract | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.96948 | 239 | 1.585938 | 2 |
Many fans of Dungeons & Dragons don’t see how fun playing a Fighter can really be. The Fighter’s list of skills can lead many to write the class as a whole off as basic and boring when that’s simply not true. Just like any other class, a good roleplayer can make a Fighter very entertaining. The class also has a few perks that have been overlooked too often.
In Dungeons & Dragons, every class has a list of abilities that they gain as they level up. Most classes have a variety of unique and flashy abilities, such as the Monk’s Ki abilities and Monastic Tradition. However, the Fighter does not have many flashy abilities, with most of their level-ups granting them bonus stats, extra attacks, and Martial Archetypes. Although D&D fighters can quickly get overpowered, this makes the Fighter’s ability list look very repetitive, and can turn people away if they think it may not be exciting enough.
Despite appearances, Fighters can be a lot of fun to play because of how versatile they are. Although their ability list may not look like much, they can be some of the most exciting characters to play in D&D, especially in the midst of combat. Fighters are far from boring in D&D, and a good player can play one to their fullest potential.
D&D Fighters Have Almost Endless Fighting Variety
As one would expect, Fighters in Dungeons & Dragons have access to some of the most versatile combat options in the game. However, despite their lack of magical abilities, they make up for it with their own simple yet effective bonuses that they incur naturally. D&D characters don’t always need to be optimized, but these bonuses can make Fighters very strong very quickly. A Fighter can be easily customized to match a player’s preferred playstyle, whether they are an up-close bruiser or a bow-wielding sniper who stays out of trouble.
Fighters have proficiency with both Simple and Martial weapons from the start, so they can use almost any weapon in the game without spending feats to learn how to use it. Anything from a sword to a trident, or even something more specialized like a Whip can be a Fighter’s chosen weapon. This is even before a Fighter’s Fighting Style is added to the equation, opening even more options. There are simple ideas, like a bow-wielder taking Archer to make their shots more accurate. However, some of the more unique styles are where the fighter really starts to pop, with some even able to keep pace with D&D 5e’s best multiclass combos. Like Interceptor, which can make a fighter into more of a bodyguard that protects weaker party members, or Unarmed Fighting to become a weaponless brawler on par with a Monk.
Weapon Proficiency and Fighting Style are two traits that every Fighter has be default, and they already open up a wide variety of opportunities. This gives the class a strong starting point no matter what plans the player has in mind. Versatility is a huge asset in Dungeons & Dragons, and a Fighter can be molded into whatever the player wants them to be.
Martial Archetypes Turn D&D Fighters Into Complete Warriors
Once a Fighter in Dungeons & Dragons reaches their third level, they gain a Martial Archetype. This is significant because it more or less grants the Fighter a subclass that will grant them more abilities through the levels. Choosing the best D&D Martial Archetype depends on one’s goal for their fighter. This is where most of a Fighter’s most unique abilities will come into play, and where they can find a specialized role to excel in.
The Martial Archetypes grant fighters some incredibly interesting abilities to use. For example, the Arcane Archer is an evolved archer that can wreak havoc with several kinds of magical arrows. An Echo Knight can create a projection of themselves to either attack or defend from a distance. Psi Warriors can mix martial combat with psychic powers like a Jedi from Star Wars. These Archetypes add a large amount of flavor to the Fighter no matter which one they choose, making them a very unique warrior in addition to an even stronger combatant than before.
Similar to how bored D&D players can revitalize characters with subclasses, a Martial Archetype can give a Fighter a new lease on life. In fact, there are so many tricks that one can use with several of the Archetypes’ abilities that it opens more doors for the Fighter than before. Martial Archetypes are probably the most enthralling thing about the Fighter, and anyone playing as one should look forward to unlocking theirs to discover their true potential.
D&D Fighters Can Be Almost Any Sort Of Character Imaginable
When one thinks of a Fighter in Dungeons & Dragons, they may think of a fairly bland Human wielding a sword. Admittedly, many of the early sourcebooks depicted exactly that, which may have affected the Fighter’s reputation. However, D&D’s Fighter is definitely not boring, and they can come in just as many diverse flavors as any other class, with their personalities as versatile as their weapons.
Many fighters can be the typical sword-and-shield-bearing knights in shining armor, and many players could pull off that role with aplomb. However, the class has a huge amount of possibilities available for those who take it. One could play a duelist who deftly maneuvers through combat with the utmost confidence. Likewise, one could play as a disciplined psychic warrior with a strict code of honor that they refuse to break. A Fighter can even be a wild warrior toting a massive sword, almost like a Barbarian that replaces raging ferocity with deceptive skill. Good or evil, honorable or scheming, Fighters come in all types, and the player can choose whichever they desire.
Just like how evil D&D characters can still be heroes, Fighters can be just as dynamic in personality as any other character class available. In Dungeons & Dragons, the limits of characterization are not tied to the class, but to the player. Like many things in Dungeons & Dragons, it is all up to the player’s imagination, and a Fighter can be just as interesting as any Paladin or Sorcerer.
Fighters in Dungeons & Dragons may be assumed to be a less interesting class than most, but that is only a matter of perspective. The sheer variety available in their build allows the player to make any sort of fighter that they could imagine. The Fighter is on par with every other class in Dungeons & Dragons in terms of being able to create a satisfying adventure, and players wondering what to try next should consider giving one a chance. | <urn:uuid:a4d6d887-4594-4549-ab51-f4ba66589aa5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.somagnews.com/why-fighters-in-dd-are-more-interesting-than-you-think/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.955414 | 1,372 | 1.539063 | 2 |
“Discontent and disorder are signs of energy and hope, not despair” [Dame Cicely Veronica]
It can be confusing, especially in confusing times. What we see and feel, is that real? Or is there underlining movement greater than are own that creates change over time always towards the positive.
“Hope” Brene Brown tells us in The Gifts of Imperfection “is not an emotion; it is a way of thinking or a cognitive process… “Hope happens when we have the ability to set realistic goals, when we are able to figure out how to achieve those goals (while staying flexible and being open to alternate routes) and we believe in ourselves.”
We learn how to hope through exercising our minds and hearts.
I ask that we would all be blessed today to expand out thinking and engage our physical and spiritual beings in affirming the positive. | <urn:uuid:4c92b3e4-b4cc-48ea-95c3-83a49a271630> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://soulgardenpathway.com/discontent-and-disorder/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.937256 | 187 | 1.679688 | 2 |

How do sterilizers work?
Sterilization is done by conducting a test using a testing instrument known as Hot Air Oven. During the test procedure, the product which is placed for sterilization captivates the heat on the outer surface of the material and then allows the heat to enter layer by layer. After the procedure, the complete material reaches a level of required temperature to carry on the sterilization procedure easily.
The process of dry heat sterilization burns the organisms layer by layer by oxidization of molecules and eradicates the microbes and microorganism from the material and keeps the material clean and hygienic to use. The dry heat sterilization is performed on the products by creating sufficient amount of dry heat inside the ovens. The dry heat is maintained at least for one hour using Hot Air Ovens to destroy the difficult and harmful chemicals & germs from the product. To perform the dry heat sterilization, actual time and temperature limits need to be set as per the three common time and temperature relationships:
- 150oC for 2 ½ hours and so on as per the requirement
- 160oC for 2 hours,
- 170oC for 1 hour,
How can Dry Heat Sterilization be performed?
Dry heat sterilization can be performed using two different strategies:
- Static Air Type
- Force Air Type
The static air type is known for the sterilization that which performed using ovens that comprise of heating coils on the bottom of the device to create hot air inside the chambers with the help of gravity convection. This type of sterilization helps to maintain consistent temperature throughout the oven.
Another way to perform sterilization is Force Air Type. This type of sterilization is also known as Mechanical Convention Sterilization. This type of sterilization comprises of the blower which moves with the help of a motor. The motor and fan of the device help to maintain an even temperature inside the chamber.

TEXT OF STORY
KAI RYSSDAL: Even with the jobless rate at 5 and a half percent…the unemployment situation in this country’s pretty good by most measures. But what about the *under-employed? People who have sporadic or maybe regular part-time work… …but they aren’t making enough to cover the costs of food and permanent housing. Marketplace’s Jennifer Collins visited one strip of pavement here in Los Angeles that some of them call home.
JENNIFER COLLINS: Gary Crowe shares his home with his adult son and two dogs. And there’s something else he wants you to know: Everything he owns hums along very well, thank you.
GARY CROWE: Microwave, stove, oven. Everything works.
And everything has its place. Even if the fridge is practically on top of the shower.
Gary lives in a 10-foot camper hitched to the back of a pick-up truck. Three years ago he lived in a house. But when his expenses climbed above $2,000 a month, Gary didn’t make enough as a freelance mechanic to cover the bills.
Crowe: The rent just got way too high. And I didn’t have a choice.
Gary pays about $500 a month to keep his gas tank full and his generator running. He rarely notices the traffic that rattles his home as it flies by on Riverside Drive. That’s the thoroughfare just north of downtown Los Angeles where Gary parks. These days, Riverside is starting to get very crowded.
Crowe: Well, if you look down the street, you see all these motorhomes. About a year ago they wasn’t all there. But it just seems like it’s getting worse.
Social workers from Oregon to Georgia say they’re seeing clusters of dilapidated vans and motorhomes cropping up along byways throughout the country. As food and rent become more expensive, they say some people are trying to save money by living in their vehicles. Many have day jobs. But at night their home is wherever they roll.
Michael Stoops is the acting director for the National Coalition for the Homeless.
Michael Stoops: I promise you we will see a tremendous increase over the next couple years in people living in their vehicles.
He says homeless organizations need to designate safe overnight parking. Very few places have programs like that. So, in cities like L.A., nearby homeowners complain about the dinged-up campers. Police order the homeless to move along. But there are rarely enough places to park.
And even the homeless worry about the people who share their streets.
Steve: He wont! No I don’t gotta ask him. He…
That’s Steve. He won’t give his last name because he sells heroin for a living. A sign on his RV says “Welcome” in big letters. Just outside, there’s a woman trying to hawk her engagement ring. Steve says his customers have been pretty desperate lately.
Steve: Even people who do drugs have no money. The working economy, if they don’t have no money, then the people that bring me their money can’t get no money.
Steve says his income is only a sliver of what it was in more prosperous times. But he sticks to the same streets. He says his customers need to know where to find him.
Just down Riverside there’s Sam Tejada. Sam’s got a family that depends on him back home in El Salvador. His 18-year-old daughter is in college there. He sends remittances whenever he can.
SAM TEJADA: If you no send it for my family, my family, you know, is no good.
Sam works in construction but the jobs have been spotty these days. To save money, he moved into a motorhome. And that’s how Sam ended up sharing the streets with Gary, Steve and dozens of others.
Tejada: Sometimes the people think when somebody live like me, maybe this guy makes drugs or drinking, or maybe he doesn’t work. Something like that. Maybe he’s illegal.
Sam’s lived here for 14 years. He has papers to prove he’s legal, but he’s thinking of giving it all up.
Tejada: The economy situation is no good. Maybe five months, if the situation is going to be like that, I come back to my country.
Maybe it’s the wheels under their feet, but almost everyone on Riverside talks about moving on. It’s only a matter of when.

Contingent upon which part of the country you live in or the age of your home, you might be confronting unique difficulties while employing a roofer. One normal issue is tracking down the right organization to chip away at a steeply pitched rooftop. Steep rooftops present one of a kind issues from project wanting to wellbeing concerns. By posing the right inquiries prior to employing a roofer, you’ll guarantee you’ve settled on the most ideal decision to take care of business securely and effectively. This is what you need to remember whether your home has a precarious rooftop.
What is a steeply inclined rooftop?
The incline of a rooftop is additionally alluded to as the pitch – what number of inches the rooftop ascends comparable to the width in feet, once in a while called “the ascent over the run.” In layman’s terms, how sharp is the “V” of your rooftop? Steep incline material is intended to utilize gravity to pull water and snow off the rooftop normally. Level material may rather via fixed with a waterproof layer to ensure the house. It’s generally normal to see steep rooftops in private settings, while numerous business rooftops are level.
Contingent upon the age of the structure or the district of the nation, a few rooftops are more extreme than others. This is especially obvious in high snow regions, where it very well may be hazardous to let the load from snow gather on the rooftop. Doing as such prompts water staining, rooftop harm, and surprisingly underlying issues. More extreme plans additionally assist with keeping away from shaky circumstances, for example, proprietors scooping their rooftops in the colder time of year.
Difficulties of material steep structures
Chipping away at more extreme rooftops requires explicit abilities and experience. You might not have halted to contemplate these issues in the event that you haven’t embraced a material redesign previously. A decent roofer must:
Have the legitimate gear: It’s regularly difficult to walk straightforwardly on steep rooftops. All things considered, specific hardware, for example, arranging and rooftop coats should be utilized. The best organizations for these positions currently own this gear since they have insight with these rooftop types. Those that need to lease it will probably pass the expense onto you, bringing about a more costly exertion.
Have the option to assess materials: Determining the materials required for any material venture requires solid math and designing abilities. With slanted rooftops, the capacity to work out pitch and points straightforwardly impacts the precision of materials gauges and your administration quote.
Comprehend the design effect of a rooftop on a structure: Steep rooftops are regularly exceptionally noticeable to individuals taking a gander at the structure. The nature of materials utilized, accuracy of the material, and incorporating engineering contacts, for example, fashioner shingles all effect the end-product. The more encountered the firm you recruit, the better your rooftop will look.
Inquiries to pose to your roofer
In light of these issues, there are various inquiries that you can pose to material organizations to help decide whether they’re the right fit. Some potential inquiries include:
What experience do you have dealing with steep rooftops?
Do you claim the gear important to finish this task?
Would you be able to walk me through the hardware set up and plan?
What proficient protection do you have for your business?
Would you be able to give references of past clients that you’ve finished steep material positions for?
How would you keep the encompassing grounds clean of material trash?
Is it accurate to say that you are guaranteed by the rooftop material producer to introduce this material framework?
Furthermore, maybe above all, what sorts of guarantees do you offer?
Understanding the necessities of a precarious material rebuild will assist you with posing the right inquiries of potential specialist co-ops. Regardless of whether you just need new shingles or are searching for a more mind boggling material task, a decent assessment cycle will ensure that you recruit the private material organization that is best for your work. | <urn:uuid:b7b05464-debe-438d-a7ae-08bc117418b4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://home-design.uk/tag/right-roofer/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.916305 | 848 | 1.578125 | 2 |
Diatomaceous Earth (Food Grade)
Mites like to feed on hens when brooding and roosting therefore these areas are where mites mostly live and where diatomaceous earth is best applied.
- Nests: Remove all used bedding from the nesting boxes sprinkle diatomaceous earth on the surfaces then replace with fresh bedding, lightly sprinkle diatomaceous earth onto bedding and work in.
- Roosts: Dust on and around roosting areas
- Hens: Mites can be controlled by on chickens by dusting between the feathers and onto the skin.
- Dust Baths: Add a couple of tablespoons full of DM to the chicken’s dust bath/s this way they will apply the DM naturally.
Note: When handling diatomaceous earth avoid inhalation and contact with eyes

The world produces almost 4 million tons of aluminum every year, used in a wide variety of applications.
A lot of this aluminum goes into making appliances and other industrial applications. For this aluminum life can get rough, so aluminum anodizing or powder coating is often done. This provides a layer of protection against corrosion and damage to the metal.
What are the main differences between these two processes, and which one is right for your aluminum?
Anodizing is a process that uses electricity to increase the aluminum oxide layer on the outside of the aluminum. This creates a hard, protective barrier against corrosion, chemical degradation, and damage from use. An anode electrode is used as well as an electrolytic cell, giving the process its name.
An interesting fact about anodizing aluminum is that the process accelerates a natural process. Over a long period of time the oxidized layer of aluminum will grow on its own, but anodizing speeds that process up to near-instant.
Advantages of Anodizing
The advantages of aluminum anodizing are an increase in durability. This is especially important in many appliances, and in different environments. Those who live on the coast, for instance, will notice a significant improvement in the durability of their aluminum against the corrosion of salt.
Anodizing is the perfect choice for aluminum that is used in high-traffic areas. If it is stepped on a lot, or used often this protective layer can save a lot of time and money.
Powder coating is the process of spraying paint in powdered form onto a piece of metal. There’s no solvent required as you would have with liquid paint, but it does require that the piece gets pretreated. The result is an increase in corrosion resistance and durability.
To get the coating onto the piece, a powder coating gun and system is used.
Advantages of Powder Coating
One of the big advantages of coating aluminum or any metal is that it helps protect against corrosion and wear and tear. Powder coating is a great solution for metals that are going to be out in the sun, or exposed to wind and weather. The coating itself is durable and will resist chipping or fading.
The process of coating metal is quick and easy as well, not requiring a lot of industrial capability or time. It also doesn’t require that the chemical nature of the material is altered.
Aluminum Anodizing vs Powder Coating
Whether you choose to go with aluminum anodizing or a powder coat will depend on your capability, and needs. For most metal pieces, powder coating is effective, cheap, and easy to do. Anodizing does produce a harder and more durable finish, but it requires a lot more time and energy to produce.

Carlos Dangmar Lee
|Carlos Dangmar Lee|
|Born||13 January 2521|
|Died||7 November 2602|
|Profession||Commanding General of the Star League Defense Force|
General Lee was heavily embroiled in fighting the Reunification War against the Periphery states, and so had little time to finish the full integration of the SLDF started by General Shandra Noruff-Cameron. Because of the desperate need for trained soldiers to fight, General Lee agreed to accept soldiers from the Great Houses' personal armies who, while more immediate and superior to raw recruits, remained loyal to their individual Houses. Despite this, General Lee is remembered as giving the SLDF bureaucracy its final shape, and for being its first fighting general.
Born on Lyons, Carlos Lee's family emigrated to Zebebelgenubi shortly after he was born, and as a result Lee gained dual citizenship of both the Lyran Commonwealth and the Terran Hegemony, although he would later renounce his Lyran citizenship. Lee was determined to join the Hegemony Armed Forces and travelled into the Hegemony to sign up, working in various menial positions for a couple of years until he was accepted to a military academy.
Carlos Lee was a graduate of the Saint Cyr Military Academy, and excelled at his studies, graduating as a MechWarrior with a commission in the HAF. Lee's early career involved some minor actions against DCMS raiders, but it was during the September Revolt in 2459 that Lee distinguished himself. Lee and a group of officers within the Seventh Cavalry loyal to Ian Cameron prevented one of the battalion commanders within the Seventh Cavalry from staging an internal coup within the Seventh Cavalry and siding with the 51st Dragoon Regiment, which earned Lee a commendation and an early promotion and brought him into contact with Ian Cameron and Shandra Noruff.
Carlos Lee's military appointments included four years commanding the Cameron private guard, a tour as Commandant of the Royal Sandhurst Military Academy and, following the formation of the SLDF, Lee was the first commanding officer of the SLDF Strategic Simulations Command. Lee also served as Noruff-Cameron's deputy while Noruff-Cameron was the Commanding General of the SLDF, then as Commanding General himself as Noruff-Cameron's successor.
The two decades of combat that became known as the Reunification War took a heavy toll on Lee, who retired from military service shortly after the end of the war. Although he was widely praised in the Inner Sphere for his adaptability and determination while serving as the first operational commander of the SLDF Carlos remained a hated figure in the Periphery.
Lee served as honorary pallbearer to both Ian Cameron and Shandra Noruff-Cameron, and this combined with the fact that he never never fully recovered from the strain of his military service during the Reunification War led to him dying in 2602, a few years after his retirement, in his home in Unity City.
Carlos Dangmar Lee served for 35 years in the Hegemony Armed Forces prior to the formation of the Star League and developed a deep sense of personal loyalty to the Terran Hegemony, the Cameron family, and to those who showed a similar sense of loyalty. When the SLDF formed, Lee made the good of the SLDF as a whole his highest goal; as a consequence, while Lee would always choose the best option for the SLDF, he also remained steadfastly loyal and supportive to his friends and loyal subordinates, and would compromise his own decisions in favor of supporting them, unless it conflicted with the greater good of the SLDF.
Lee's political skills allowed him to build up the SLDF despite constant disputes and crises and Lee was often prepared to make decisions for the sake of political expediency; whilst this led to Noruff-Cameron criticizing him in private for compromising his principles, it also led to both she and the First Lord praising his leadership just as often.

The Federal Government has been urged to take action on the rising number of individuals living with the Human Immune Virus, HIV, and the Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, AIDS in Nigeria’s oil-rich region.
The call was made by the Director-General of an advocacy health group under the auspices of National Agency for the Control of AIDS, NACA, Dr Gambo Aliyu, at a four-day HIV Media Advocacy and Social Behaviour Change Communication, SBCC, Skills Building Workshop, in Yenagoa, Bayelsa State.
Mr Aliyu, who was represented by NACA’s Director of Policy Planning and Stakeholders Coordination, Eno Essien, said that People Living With HIV/AIDS, PLWHIV, were solely supported by donor-agencies.
He said that increased participation by governments was desirable to ensure that services rendered by implementing partners would be sustained when the donor-partners would pull out.
Mr Aliyu urged states in the South-South to take advantage of support by implementing partners to manage infected people.
He said that PLWHIV needed support and care, adding that the federal and state governments should critically look into their plight and sustain them.
He added that in Bayelsa and some other states in the zone, the law establishing the State Agency for Control of Aids, SACA, required amendment to allow for proper operations.
The Wife of Bayelsa Governor, Dr Gloria Diri, declared the workshop open on behalf of her husband, Governor Douye Diri.
She commended NACA for bringing the workshop to Bayelsa and gave the assurance that the state would continue to provide a conducive environment for manpower development.
The South-South Coordinator of NACA, Dr Uduak Daniel, admitted that the six states in the geo-political zone had high HIV prevalence.
The development, she said, necessitated collaboration with the media through setting up of advocacy platforms as a strategy in the fight against the disease.
Ms Daniel said that on assumption of office, she embarked on assessment of offices of SACA and discovered challenges.
She listed the challenges to include poor funding. | <urn:uuid:37df3cdf-1e90-4f65-a792-a20178ddaa2e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.theheritagetimes.com/hiv-aids-cases-surge-in-oil-rich-niger-delta/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.958557 | 451 | 1.710938 | 2 |

Bay boletes are highly regarded as edible mushrooms in many European kitchens, especially the younger specimen. It is often compared to it’s distant relative the cep (Boletus edulis) but milder in taste.
Its main features are a brown to dark brown cap with fine creamy-yellow pores, which turn darker yellow to olive with age. Upon pressure the pores develop a distinct greenish-blue colour. The stipe is similar to the one of the cep but with longitudinal ridges as well as slimmer and more cylindrical.
Apart its nutty pleasant taste, the mushroom is said to gather high amounts of Caesium in certain areas and excessive consume is not recommended. In smaller quantities (under 10 kg a year) it should not be problematic. However, everyone has make this decision for him- or herself but for children and pregnant people we do not recommend this mushroom.
Boletus edulis (cep), Xerocomellus chrysenteron (Red cracking bolete), Xerocomus subtomentosus (Suede bolete)
Notes for cooking: Bay boletes are exquisite and suitable mushrooms for drying and will refine every meal. They are also excellent fried in butter or olive oil, also in combination with other mushrooms.

Role of Product Design Engineers: How They Can Help
If you’re looking to establish a successful product, you’ll will need to work alongside a group of knowledgeable professionals. Prototype Companies are crucial people in any product improvement group and can assist you produce a product that meets your unique needs.
Within this blog post, we’ll go over the function of the Product Design Engineer in more detail and clarify why these are this sort of a significant part of your product development approach. We’ll also highlight some of the services that these technical engineers offer you to get a much better thought of whatever they are capable of doing for you.
Planning a successful product out there takes more than simply discovering a concept and adding it into production. There are tons of things to consider, in the manufacturing approach on the conclusion user’s experience. That’s why it’s essential to possess a group of specialists involved in the product development method, together with a Product Design Engineer.
Product Layout Technicians
Like a product development organization, we regularly get requested just what the role of a Product Design Engineer is at creating effective merchandise. The perfect solution may shock you – they perform a crucial role in making sure your product meets all of the demands for success.
A Product Design Engineer is accountable for making sure your product idea may be changed into a good, functional, and manufacturable design and style. They will likely assist you to definitely fully grasp your vision to the product and after that convert that into possible design targets. To do this, they have to use a deeply knowledge of both technology and production concepts.
When the Product Design Engineer carries a full knowledge of your vision, they will begin to produce methods and prototypes. These prototypes will be utilized to check the feasibility of the product as well as recognize any probable troubles. The Product Design Engineer will then work together with anyone to revise the design when needed before shifting onto the after that stage of growth.
Tha Harsh Truth
The role of the Product Design Engineer is crucial in developing productive products.

from the what-a-disaster dept
There are multiple efforts under way in the US to pass laws that require social media sites to take down “medical misinformation.” As we’ve described repeatedly, these are really dangerous ideas. Bills like those from Senators Amy Klobuchar and Ben Ray Lujan seek to force social media to remove medical misinformation as declared by the
Ministry of Truth… er… Secretary of Health & Human Services. Of course, it was not all that long ago that we had an administration that was actively anti-science, and wanted to declare anything that made the president look bad as “fake news.”
Also, in the midst of a pandemic, when the data and the science are rapidly evolving, what might seem reasonable at one point, may later turn out to be misinformation — and vice versa. Forcing down misinformation leads to all sorts of dangerous consequences. Hell, we saw this in China, where such a law was used to silence a doctor who tried to raise the alarm about COVID-19, and was forced to apologize for spreading “untruthful information online.”
But there’s another aspect of this which people rarely try to deal with: content moderation involves a lot of very gray areas and an awful lot of context, much of which may not be immediately obvious. An ongoing war of words between the former British Medical Journal (now just “The BMJ”) and Meta/Facebook demonstrates nicely just how impossible it is to claim that “medical misinformation” must be taken offline. There’s a bit of background here, and it’s a, well, touchy subject, so try to go through the whole thing before you react.
First off, the BMJ is not, in any way, anti-vaccine. Somewhat famously, the BMJ was a key player in exposing the fraudulent behavior of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, whose fraudulent study created the modern anti-vax movement. That said, in November, The BMJ published an investigative journalism piece, based on a supposed “whistleblower” suggesting that there was some data integrity issues with the way Pfizer’s vaccine was tested, specifically involving a research partner of Pfizer, Ventavia Research Group.
Ventavia responded to the allegations by noting that the supposed whistleblower in question had raised the issues a year earlier, and they were investigated and found to be unsubstantiated. That said, many reasonable people noted that this should be further investigated and worried that it might lead to further damaging the public’s trust in science.
But, of course, you can fully predict what happened next. It didn’t just “damage the public’s trust in science,” the BMJ article instead was instantly championed by all of the big anti-vax voices all over social media as “proof” that the COVID vaccine was dangerous and rushed into approval — key talking points among that crowd, repeated despite tons of evidence that the vaccine is both incredibly effective and incredibly safe.
This resulted in Lead Stories, a fact checking organization, to fact check the article, and slap it with a “missing context” label, and calling into question the way that people were interpreting the article:
Did the British Medical Association’s news blog reveal flaws that disqualify the results of a contractor’s field testing of Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine, and were the problems ignored by the Food & Drug Administration and by Pfizer? No, that’s not true: Pfizer and the FDA were made aware of the allegations about the contractor in 2020. Medical experts say the claims aren’t serious enough to discredit data from the clinical trials, which is also what Pfizer and the FDA say they concluded. The FDA says its position is unchanged: The benefits of the Pfizer vaccine far outweigh rare side effects and the clinical trial data are solid.
Because of this fact check and because of the way the article was being used in a misleading way by thousands of anti-vaxxers, users who tried to share The BMJ article were flagged with fact check warnings saying: “Missing context … Independent fact-checkers say this information could mislead people,” which is accurate, but incomplete, and very dependent on the context of who was sharing it and for what purpose.
The BMJ kinda flipped out about this and published an angry open letter to Mark Zuckerberg (who, I assure you, had nothing to do with the decision on the fact check and flagging). To be honest, I find the BMJ’s anger here completely disingenuous. They act like they don’t understand at all why Lead Stories highlighted the “missing context” point on their story, when — of anyone — the BMJ should be willing to acknowledge how their own article was being weaponized by ignorant anti-vaxxers.
But from November 10, readers began reporting a variety of problems when trying to share our article. Some reported being unable to share it. Many others reported having their posts flagged with a warning about ?Missing context … Independent fact-checkers say this information could mislead people.? Those trying to post the article were informed by Facebook that people who repeatedly share ?false information? might have their posts moved lower in Facebook?s News Feed. Group administrators where the article was shared received messages from Facebook informing them that such posts were ?partly false.?
Readers were directed to a ?fact check? performed by a Facebook contractor named Lead Stories.
We find the ?fact check? performed by Lead Stories to be inaccurate, incompetent and irresponsible.
— It fails to provide any assertions of fact that The BMJ article got wrong
— It has a nonsensical title: ?Fact Check: The British Medical Journal Did NOT Reveal Disqualifying And Ignored Reports Of Flaws In Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Trials?
— The first paragraph inaccurately labels The BMJ a ?news blog?
— It contains a screenshot of our article with a stamp over it stating ?Flaws Reviewed,? despite the Lead Stories article not identifying anything false or untrue in The BMJ article
— It published the story on its website under a URL that contains the phrase ?hoax-alert?
We have contacted Lead Stories, but they refuse to change anything about their article or actions that have led to Facebook flagging our article.
The BMJ open letter also gets unnecessarily snarky (which also seems out of character for a prestigious medical journal):
Rather than investing a proportion of Meta?s substantial profits to help ensure the accuracy of medical information shared through social media, you have apparently delegated responsibility to people incompetent in carrying out this crucial task.
That’s ridiculous. Clearly this is a difficult situation. Even if the reporting was accurate — there is crucial context here. Did the revelations support the claims of anti-vaxxers who were using it as evidence that the Pfizer vaccine was not safe? The answer is no, it did not. And there’s a strong argument that The BMJ could have and should have made that point a lot clearer in their own reporting, recognizing how the article would be weaponized by grifters and fed to the ignorant.
Lead Stories then responded to the BMJ, in fairly great detail, more or less saying “you can’t honestly be that naïve.”
It is ironic to read that BMJ.com objects to the headline on Lead Stories’ fact check of a BMJ.com article when the original BMJ piece carries a scare headline that oversells the whistleblower and overstates the jeopardy. Their November 2, 2021, headline “Covid-19: Researcher blows the whistle on data integrity issues in Pfizer’s vaccine trial” is the reason BMJ.com’s article has appeared in hundreds of Facebook posts and tweets, many by anti-vaccine activists using it as “proof” the entire clinical trial was fraudulent and the vaccine unsafe.
Lead Stories also points out that The BMJ’s headline to its article is extremely misleading, as it can be read to say that there were data integrity issues with the entirety of the Pfizer vaccine test, rather than 3 sites out of 153, and then also highlights that the whistleblower in question is not a scientist who is an expert on this. It also notes that the whistleblower appears to have some… questionable beliefs and associations regarding vaccines:
The BMJ.com article eventually gets around to saying she worked at the lab for just two weeks. But BMJ’s open letter fails to mention important context: The Brook Jackson Twitter account agreed with leading COVID misinformation-spreader Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s criticism of the “Sesame Street” episode in which Big Bird encourages kids to get a COVID-19 vaccine. “Shocking, actually.” she wrote in a November 9, 2021, response to a Kennedy tweet blasting Sesame Street (archived here). Elsewhere on Twitter, the Brook Jackson account wrote to a vaccine-hesitant person that vaccination makes sense if a person is in a high-risk category. When the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against a federal employee vaccine mandate, she tweeted “HUGE!” and not with a frowny emoji.
Lead Stories talked to Jackson, looked at available documents (after BMJ refused to permit us to see their basis for the story and did not make the documents available on a transparency site). Unlike BMJ.com, Lead Stories then tested Jackson’s assertions with Pfizer, with the lab contractor in question and with the FDA and then published their responses. It’s not at all clear yet whether there are data integrity issues if you ask the other stakeholders, and that’s the crucial missing context. We also talked to experienced medical researchers for perspective, one of whose credentials BMJ editorial staff demeaned for reasons we can only imagine.
By talking to Ventavia, we contributed context BMJ.com missed: Ventavia said the whistleblower had not worked on the Pfizer trial, but Lead Stories set that straight by embedding in its story a copy of a letter, provided by Jackson in which she was expressly welcomed to the Pfizer trial team. That’s what we mean by context.
The BMJ has thus far failed to document what is “inaccurate” in the Lead Stories fact check, but again oversells by using that and other name-calling to vent frustration at our documentation of obvious missing context
All of this involves an awful lot of judgment calls, understanding of context, and a lot more. But under a law that requires the pulling down of medical misinformation, how the hell would anyone handle this kind of scenario? The BMJ story isn’t wrong per se, but there is a lot of important context that seems like it’s missing (which Lead Stories highlighted above). On top of that, there’s all the important context around how people are using the article and stretching an already weaker-than-it-seems story to pretend to be a lot more damning on the overall vaccine.
In other words, how the article is being represented and used is an important piece of context as well. And this is frequently the case with medical misinformation. People will take something that is factual or accurate, and present it out of context or in a misleading light, in order to make an argument that doesn’t support it. So which part is the “misinformation” and how do you police that?
In an ideal world, we’d be able to see all the details and the back and forth, and figure it all out. Frankly, when I first heard about this — via The BMJ’s open letter — I initially thought that the details would support The BMJ, and that Facebook mislabeled something (which, of course, happens all the time because of the old Masnick Impossibility Theorem). It was only after reading multiple articles on both sides of this, and going through the details of Lead Stories’ process, that I realized that they had (to me) a much stronger argument, that there’s an awful lot of important context that is missing from The BMJ piece that you would hope a journal like that would have considered before publishing the article the way in which it did.
But to expect every social media platform to be able to determine this on every piece of medical sharing out there is next to impossible — and putting legal liability on top of it, as Senators Klobuchar and Lujan want to do — would be dangerously impossible.

At work, there are admittedly some things that we take for granted. It might be because we have done the same thing thousands of times already that it almost feels like muscle memory, so we don’t really put a lot of thought while doing it. In other circumstances, we might be too busy with more serious and larger concerns that we hastily do these smaller things without too much effort. Finally, there are some things that, from the start, we don’t really put too much importance on because they’ve always felt trivial, so we do not put a lot of care when we do them.
One of these things is email, and for most of us, we just write them, send them, grudgingly read through what we receive, and most of the time, just “finish” everything in our inboxes just to be over and done with them, or just so we can have that sense of accomplishment upon seeing our clean email accounts. But like everything else in our work, we need to take a step back and really think about how we do our emails. Not doing them properly can give rise to problems that are easily avoidable if we just take the time and effort to be more careful we do each and every email.
Take time to proofread and review your message
Admit it: There are some of us who type emails in a surge of energy without really reading it because we oftentimes just want to get it over with. A lot of us regard answering or writing emails as a race, where we need to write our emails or responses and hit send before time is up. So, there may be times when, because of our eagerness to just finish an email, to click on that send button without doing a review.
Reviewing your email before sending it is a great practice you need to do every single time. After drafting the email, read it aloud so that you don’t just read your message but at the same time, listen to your tone while reading it. Recalibrate your tone by changing some words or editing out some sentences when you feel like the tone you intend is not correctly reflected by your choice of words. Of course, by reading your email aloud, you can spot typos and grammatical errors. Finally, after tweaking your tome and correcting all typos, check with the email you are replying to (if you are sending a reply email, that is) if you have answered all the points or questions raised by the email. And of course, it is very important that when you promise to attach files or documents with your email, that they are actually attached to it before hitting send. I am sure you’ve sent emails that are supposed to have attachments but do not have them because were too eager to hit send.
Make sure the personalization is set up properly. There’s nothing worse than receiving an email that starts with, “Hello [insert name here].” The whole point of doing this kind of campaign is for your audience to feel as if you have created it for them. If you can’t even get the greeting right, nothing else matters.
Reply All isn’t always a good idea.
Just because you received an email from the rest of the team, for example, it doesn’t mean that all members of the team should also see your response. Reply All should only be used when everybody in the original email needs to know your thoughts. If not, then there’s no need to Reply All, as your email will just clutter the inboxes of your teammates who didn’t necessarily have to get your reply.
You should only Reply-All to an email when you’re sure your reply is relevant to everyone in the thread. Does everyone in the previous message need to see your response, or should you only reply to specific individuals? Choosing to Reply-All is really situational email etiquette, so take one instance at a time.
Subject Lines are very important, especially if it is a new email.
Your email will most probably be one of the hundreds of emails to be received by your recipient. Thus, you need to make it effective so that their attention is caught just by reading your subject. Also, if you can already put all details in the subject line, ike in FYIs or invites, it would be great to do that so that your recipients won’t need to spend too much time opening and reading your email’s body. Here’s another tip on email subject lines for apps on mobile devices:
According to research from software company HubSpot, 46% of all emails are opened on mobile devices, which means your subject line shouldn’t be much longer than a few words. Longer subject lines will get cut off.
Don’t forward willy-nilly
When we get forwarded emails, the first thing we think is, “Why am I getting this email?” If you are forwarding an email, make it a point for your recipients to not have to ask that question by explaining to them why you’ve forwarded the email to them and what the email would mean to them. For sure, if you don’t do that, you will likely receive a reply of “Why did I get this?” or a direct message asking the same question.
Make sure to edit the email message before forwarding it. Sometimes the email may contain some sensitive data that you need not send to anyone. Ask yourself that do you really need to forward the content of the message to a third person or more.
Aside from these basic but commonly forgotten email etiquette details, we might also be confronted with issues about your laptop like missing documents. For help on their recovery, get in touch with us.

SIPs are terrific; all mutual fund investors agree upon that much. The numerous advantages that SIPs provide are undeniable. However, it also seems as though lumpsum investment have received less attention. Employing SIPs each time you have money to invest (or STPs) is unnecessary. There are circumstances in which making lump sum investments is entirely acceptable.
Making a single, large deposit is known as a lump sum investment. A standard method of investing in mutual funds is with a lump payment. It is referred to as a lumpsum mutual fund investment if you put the total cash you have on hand in a mutual fund program.
For big-ticket investors, lumpsum investing is a typical investment method. It is a great long-term investment strategy. A high-risk-tolerance investor might consider making a lumpsum investment in a mutual fund plan. If you get a windfall like an inheritance, bonus, or gift, you may want to think about investing a lump sum.
A person can use Systematic Investment Plans or a lumpsum payment to invest in mutual funds (SIPs). While lumpsum investing makes a sizable commitment simultaneously, SIP entails recurring mutual fund investments. Each investing strategy has advantages and disadvantages. Based on their financial objectives, the number of investable funds, and their level of risk tolerance, the investors must select a specific investment mode.
Benefits of lumpsum investments
Nowadays, Indians are more aware of the advantages of investing than they were in the past, preferring to do their regular purchasing for things that will make them happy right away but lose value over time. Conversely, your investments will probably increase in value over time, giving you financial security and peace of mind.
Furthermore, your mutual fund investments might guarantee that you won’t need to use money from your savings in the future for holiday shopping because the returns will give you enough purchasing power.
Good control over investments
The timing of an investor’s investments in mutual funds is under their control if they are made in a lump sum. When market valuations are lower, one can decide to invest. As a result, it enables investors to profit from market corrections.
Suitable for a bullish market
During bull markets, investing a large sum is highly beneficial. This is because investors can benefit from market rallies since the entire investible amount is supported for the entire period. SIP investing, in contrast, spreads out the investment over time. As a result, only a portion of the total surplus can profit at any time.
Power of compounding
Compounding is when an investor receives additional returns on their initial investments. This effectively demonstrated the power of compounding, which causes returns to rise exponentially as holding times lengthen. The most important catalyst for returns to the compound is time.
The investors do not need to commit to making additional investments in the future when investing in a lump sum. It is frequently preferred for those who are self-employed and do not have consistent surplus income flows.
If you invest in lump sums, you invest your entire savings at once. This is a wise course of action when markets have seen a substantial correction and equities and mutual fund plans are more affordable. On the other side, you can begin a SIP if you don’t want to stress about market timing and want to make sure that you invest heavily in a disciplined manner.
Additionally, when you decide to invest in mutual funds, you get the advantage of having professional fund managers manage your money. Overall, making such an investment will let you celebrate the holidays secure in the knowledge that your hard-earned cash is growing. | <urn:uuid:f9728b61-3cd6-408b-bf00-24f2a425438b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.bubbledock.com/lumpsum-investment-for-financial-independency/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.960955 | 760 | 1.960938 | 2 |
Crack formation and propagation is a significant element of the degeneration in process articular cartilage. In order to understand this process, and separate the relative importance of structural overload and material failure, methods for measuring the fracture toughness of cartilage are needed. In this paper, two such methods are described and used to measure fracture properties of cartilage from the canine patella. A modified single edge notch (MSEN) specimen was used to measure J, and a trouser tear test was used to measure T, both measures of fracture toughness with units of kN/m. A pseudo-elastic modulus was also obtained from the MSEN test. Several potential error sources were examined, and results for the MSEN test compared with another method for measuring the fracture parameter for urethane rubber. Good agreement was found. The two test methods were used to measure properties of cartilage from the patellae of 12 canines: 4-9 specimens from each of 12 patellae, with 5 right-left pairs were tested. Values of J ranged from 0.14-1.2 kN/m. J values correlated with T and were an average of 1.7 times larger than T. A variety of failure responses was seen in the MSEN tests, consequently a grade of 0 to 3 was assigned to each test, where 0 represented a brittle-like crack with minimal opening and 3 represented plastic flow with no crack formation. The initial cracks in 12/82 specimens did not propagate and were assigned to grade 3. The method for reducing data in the MSEN test assumed pseudo-elastic response and could not be used for the grade 3 specimens. Stiffness did not correlate with J. Neither J nor T was statistically different between right-left pairs, but varied between animals. The test methods appear useful for providing a quantitative measure of fracture toughness for cartilage and other soft materials. | <urn:uuid:dc208c1e-6c2c-415c-8340-b43096130991> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://experts.umn.edu/en/publications/fracture-of-articular-cartilage | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.961294 | 387 | 2.28125 | 2 |
Everett C. Osier attempted to save Dexter W. Goss from drowning, Newburyport, Massachusetts, August 25, 1931. While wading in very rough surf in the Atlantic Ocean, Goss, 23, electrician, lost his footing 15 feet from shore and was carried seaward by a current. After a man, who was in the water close to him, had tried to aid him and both had drifted together to a point 50 feet from shore, Osier, 21, mill operative, swam to them and grasped Goss. The other man then swam to shore. Holding Goss, Osier swam with great exertion toward shore, but they drifted farther. At a point 180 feet from shore, Goss, who then was holding to Osier’s bathing suit, relaxed his hold and sank. He was drowned. Osier was rescued by a strong swimmer, who used a life preserver.

"Concentration and intelligence are faculties that can be strengthened. As you develop concentration you can focus on an object for longer periods of time, but it takes training. For most of us, the mind is unstable, not focussed and wandering here and there. Training in concentration is like harnessing a flow of water to generate electricity. "

Moving is not an easy task and it gets more difficult when children are involved in the process. It is easy to get lost in the stress and fatigue and forget what children might be going through amidst all this because of course, they are growing up and developing understanding of their surroundings. The move will affect everyone and so would the children, let’s find out how:
- Social impact is the biggest one which affects children especially the school going ones. The reason is simple, they are scared about their environment and society changing because this is the age when they are starting to make friends and get attached to their school and surroundings.
- If the neighborhood is changing and so is their school, they will start to feel a sense of loss on leaving their childhood behind and the associations which they make along with those things.
- If the move is connected with some kind of emotional baggage such as parents divorcing or death of a loved one then it could cause anxiety or depression if left unnoticed.
What you can do in such situation if you feel like your child might get affected by the move is:
- Prepare ahead of move by calling best movers and packers in Sharjah so that you can give time to your kids and things aren’t rushed at the last moment. When you are in a rush it is natural to feel hyper and this could sometimes get off on kids in the wrong way.
- Call international packers and movers in Dubai who are professional in their work and know and understand your needs so that they can take things swiftly instead of creating a havoc or chaos around the place.
- Always remember to leave some empty place during the move so that children can sleep and take a nap. Remember to have a pillow and blanket out which you could let go of later.
- One major thing which you need to be careful about is the safety of children during the move because your front door is going to be open which gives easy access to everyone. Keep children around a loved one to help them stay under watch while they enjoy and have fun. | <urn:uuid:96777c23-1d18-4566-90b7-ee4ae56e50bc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://purpleglen.com/general/things-to-consider-when-moving-with-young-children/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.973612 | 419 | 1.90625 | 2 |
Flying is a scary prospect for some people; that said, being terrified is completely different from being outright annoyed. Today we're going to be taking a look at why some folks really do struggle with the concept, and why a lot of them would much rather just sit back and find another form of transportation to take them from point A to point B.
From a convenience standpoint, you could argue that it cannot be beaten in any way, shape or form, but we're here to play the devil's advocate. So buckle up, because it's time to take off (sorry).
10 Getting To The Toilet
The majority of people need to go to the toilet from time to time when you’re in the air because let’s face it, it’s just a natural part of life. Even with that being the case, though, it’s not always the easiest thing to do – which sounds unusual, but allow us to explain.
If you’re located in the window or middle seat, you’re having to climb over one or two people just to get into the walkway before even reaching the toilet. If you’re in the aisle, you’ll find yourself constantly getting up to allow others to pass, especially if you’re on a long haul.
Turbulence is one of the worst sensations related to flying and we wouldn’t wish it on our worst enemies. It seems like a myth when you hear it from other people, but when you get it bad, turbulence truly can be one of the most revolting experiences.
The sensation of being thrown from side to side isn’t exactly one anyone would be eager to repeat, and even once is too much. Turbulence is a part of flying, but not one that anyone cares for.
8 Unprofessional Staff
This may be seen as a rarity, but it can often depend on the kind of airline you’re traveling with – although that’s not universally the case. If you are forced to deal with unprofessional staff during your time on the plane, it can be really frustrating trying to get anything done.
Be it them knocking into you by accident as they go past, being really rude and sarcastic, or seeming not to care about their etiquette when they’re in the air; an airplane's staff can make or break the experience.
7 Lack Of Social Media
If you’re addicted to your phone then this one is certainly going to hit a nerve, and it’ all because of two very irritating words: Airplane mode. It’s the function on any given phone that ensures you aren’t able to do anything on your mobile outside of playing a few games.
Sure, if there is an entertainment system then it isn’t all too bad, but for people who have quite a bad addiction to the likes of Twitter and Instagram, it can legitimately be difficult for them to tear themselves away from that world.
6 Plane Food
Not all plane food is disgusting, but it’s not exactly five stars either. Even when you’re quite literally on a five-star experience kind of plane. There just seems to be something missing, and most of the time it’s the taste and texture.
Plus, once you’ve finished with your meal, a lot of airlines take an absolute age just to come and collect it from you. It’s not comfortable, it’s awkward, and - more often than not - food and drink will be dropped all over the place. It needs to be sorted.
5 No Leg Room
If you’ve paid for extra legroom, then this isn’t going to matter all too much. Unfortunately, not all of us can afford such a luxury. On cheaper airlines especially it can be really easy to get stuck with little to no legroom, which can often lead to one of the more uncomfortable journeys of your life.
It can hurt your back as well as your legs due to the position that you’re forced to sit in, with most passengers taking every single possible opportunity to stand up and stretch their legs as much as humanly possible.
4 Drunk Passengers
If you’re of age, then it can often be quite fun to go and have a drink or two before you get on the plane. It’s innocent enough and actually tends to relax a lot of folks (especially if they’re afraid of flying). However, sometimes, it can be taken a step too far.
Drunk passengers are annoying at the best of times and at the worst, they can be a little bit frightening. From causing the plane to make an emergency landing all the way through to being aggressive, it’s not pleasant.
3 Surprise Charges
Whether it’s an overpriced bag or a ‘complimentary’ bag of nuts that didn’t actually turn out to be complementary, airlines will take you for all that they can get, and the same logic applies to the airports themselves. It isn’t exactly fair, but that’s the way it goes sometimes.
You have to prepare for these surprise charges before you even arrive at the airport, because if you don’t, then only trouble awaits. That trouble ranges from arguing with the staff to legitimately not being allowed on the plane itself.
2 Lots Of Delays
Delays are more common than most people realize, mainly because the slightest thing can throw a plane's schedule into a frenzy. It’s easy for passengers to get annoyed and frustrated about it; in truth, the only time it really warrants a complaint is if they seem to be in no real hurry to get things started again. Or, you know, if you happen to miss an important meeting.
Allowing for a few hours of delays on the other side of your trip is the smartest thing you could possibly do because, otherwise, you could find yourself in quite the pickle.
1 Disruptive Children
This is different from the drunken entry, for obvious reasons. A lot of the time the children in question don’t actually mean to annoy us quite so much, and yet, they always manage to do so with flawless perfection.
It’s the kicking of the seats that is the most irritating because, despite it being unbelievably rude and stereotypical, it actually happens way more than it should.

The summer heat in West Texas and surrounding areas can take its toll on humans, but even more so on plants. Making sure that your garden has sufficient water is a must, but so is maintaining your soil to provide optimal growing conditions.
Fortunately, there is a variety of ways to keep your soil healthy throughout the year, including when the temperatures start to rise. Let’s take a look:
- Improve compacted soil
Soil compaction, which occurs when air pockets in the soil collapse, causes roots to work harder while growing. In turn, that means the plant takes in fewer nutrients and water – and makes it harder for water to percolate through the ground.
What causes soil compaction? In general, it’s because of consistent foot traffic or heavy machinery, but also because of working the soil too often or when conditions aren’t ideal.
You can take several steps to improve – and prevent – compacted soil.
*An excellent preventive measure is to avoid tilling when your soil is too wet or too dry.
*Don’t till your soil more than once a year.
*Keep foot and vehicle traffic to a minimum whenever possible.
*Use an aerator to loosen the soil the soil in larger areas, while for smaller areas (such as gardens) you can mix in organic materials.
*Adding earthworms to garden beds will improve compacted soil. The worms will burrow their way into the soil to aerate and fertilize the ground.
- Adding organic matter
Mixing organic matter with your soil is a great way to keep your soil healthy during the summer months. The sources of the organic matter should be as diverse as possible:
Research has shown that manure contributes more to the soil than composting and their nutrients are readily available to soil and plants.
You need to take care when applying livestock manures, however. Allow at least three months between the application of the manure and harvest of leafy vegetables (lettuce, spinach, etc.).
Also, some nutrients from manure are more likely to leech out of the soil and into groundwater and streams, where they become pollutants. In many cases, it’s best to restrict fresh manures to fast-growing crops like corn.
Compost is valuable because it comes from recycling any organic wastes while stabilizing more volatile nutrients. Regular applications of compost (in modest amounts) will improve your soil’s water retention while reducing the chances of disease.
Mulch applied to the top of the soil retains soil moisture and acts as protection against temperature extremes. Also, high-carbon mulches are effective for weed control.
Growing cover crops is an extremely effective way to feed the soil, build its fertility, and keep it structurally sound throughout the year. Examples of valuable cover crops include clovers, beans, peas, and alfalfas.
Growing in wide permanent beds while restricting foot traffic around them will help avoid soil compaction. Raised beds are particularly effective in that you can create your soil mix from scratch and adapt it to seasonal climates. | <urn:uuid:8080c9ac-a3cd-4ab6-9601-5dcec249a1b0> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://myfoodshed.org/keeping-your-soil-healthy/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.944499 | 655 | 3.46875 | 3 |
192 - Syria
The government and allied businessmen own most newspaper-publishing houses and tightly control editorial policy. Although the government opened up space for private print media in 2001, the owners of most private outlets—including Al-Watan, Al-Iqtisad, and Al-Khabar—have close ties to the regime.
As a result, genuinely independent print media are virtually nonexistent. However, a number of weekly or biweekly opposition publications have sprung up in rebel-controlled areas, such as Al-Ghirbal, Ain al-Madina, and Dawdaa. It is estimated that dozens of publications currently operate outside the purview of the regime’s censorship apparatus, but some do face threats from radical Islamist factions. Television and radio broadcasting is, in general, controlled by the state.
Approximately 26 percent of Syrians accessed the internet in 2013, and social-media websites and communication tools such as Skype are increasingly used to transmit news. Opposition groups have begun to use satellite devices as a means to access the internet and telephone service, a method which is protected against regime-enforced blackouts.
Although Article 38 of the constitution provides for freedoms of speech and of the press, these rights are severely restricted in practice. The 1963 state of emergency law, in place until 2011, empowered the authorities to arrest journalists under ill-defined charges of threatening national security, which in effect nullified the constitution’s protections.
The 2001 Press Law allows for broad state control over all print media and forbids reporting on topics that are deemed sensitive by the government, such as issues of national security or national unity; it also forbids the publication of inaccurate information. A new media law issued in 2011 prohibits a “monopoly on the media,” guarantees the “right to access information about public affairs,” and bans “the arrest, questioning, or searching of journalists.” However, it bars the media from publishing content that affects “national unity and national security” or incites sectarian strife or “hate crimes.” The law also forbids the publication of any information about the armed forces.
As the civil war between the regime of President Bashar al-Assad and opposition groups raged on, the country's media environment has changed. Syrian authorities continued to forcibly restrict coverage of the unrest, and state-run television stations misreported the events of the uprising. The rise in the influence of extremist groups such as the Islamic State in Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) and Jabhat al-Nusra, which controlled territory in parts of the country, severely affected the ability of journalists to report freely. Fearing reprisals from these groups, journalists reporting from the affected areas have begun to self-censor and avoid crossing “red lines.” Both the regime and rival groups of armed rebels try to restrict or control information by attacking journalists and Media organizations.
According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), 28 journalists were killed in Syria in 2013, making the country by far the deadliest place in the world to practice Journalism. Those targeted included foreign, state, and citizen journalists. | <urn:uuid:b6ced9e1-b284-4c03-8b1d-666bb89a3ba4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.newsmuseum.pt/en/liberdade-de-imprensa/192-syria | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.945017 | 639 | 2.34375 | 2 |

We reveal the trick to having the most beautiful island in Animal Crossing
Animal Crossing: New Horizons and the famous five stars. Cross and delight of all fans of this beloved Nintendo video game that debuted on March 20, 2020 on Nintendo Switch.
Haven’t you ever heard of it? It is a life simulator which invites us to carry out small daily actions. Catch fish, pick fruit, grow flowers. All this in order to make our initial desert island a wonderful place.
In this regard it is therefore interesting to understand how to do in order to reach the five stars on Animal Crossing, which is the highest possible rating. The system is therefore somewhat equivalent to that of hotels but with one big difference: here, new features are also unlocked. We remind you that, having reached the three starswe will get the Terraforming (or terraforming) that will allow us to model the island. With this system we will be able to move rivers, build mountains: in short, shape the island to transform it into what we really want.
But let’s not get too lost in chatting. The time has come to figure out how to get the ghost stars for our island.
I want to have a perfect island how do I do it?
If, until recently, getting the five stars on Animal Crossing was “left to guesswork”, now, thanks to the official guide, we discover a real points system. In this way, get the most out of it of the score I will be much more schematic it is comprensible.
All scoring is based on two main aspects: scenario And development. All it takes to get five stars on Animal Crossing is a score of at least 450 on scenery And 655 on development.
So far everything simple, but how can I reach that figure?
The scenario it is in fact the appearance linked to nature. This takes into account trees and flowers. Each tree fully grown will give a score of 1. The maximum threshold will be reached to 190 points, after which we will not get more points. However, be careful not to plant too many: once 220 trees are exceeded, the penalty begins.
Also the flowers they will of course give points. In this case we can accumulate an “infinite” number: not in fact there will be penalties related to excesses.
The second part of the evaluation is related to the infrastructure developmentAnd. To get five stars on Animal Crossing we will therefore need to build bridges and ramps and more!
Of course, the activities they will make their contribution. Eg, Museum And Nook’s workshop, they will give 15 points each. The same goes for the Needle and Thread shop. Also bridges and the ramps they are important, so much so that each of them is worth 15 points. However, remember that these infrastructures have a limit. No more than 8 ramps and 8 bridges can be built. Not bad anyway, for these 16 constructions, in fact, we will have earned 240 points.
How to get the points left? In order to get to the minimum threshold we will have to help ourselves with the objects. All the furnishingswhether it’s those made with patterns or obtained with stars, they will make a contribution. For example, the fences will give 0.2 points one, while the outdoor furniture (or those with a value higher than 2000 stars) will give bonuses.
Perfectly following all the rules, therefore, we will be able to get five stars on Animal Crossing. But let’s go to see the construction scheme even more in detail.
The pattern for the five stars on Animal Crossing
To be clear we have reported the scheme that summarizes all the scores that will be possible to obtain with natural objects and elements.
We pay attention to the negative characteristics
Once they plant the necessary trees and furnished them well, we have to take some shrewdness. Getting five stars on Animal Crossing isn’t easy because there are other details to take into account as well. Especially we will have to be careful about clutter and waste.
In fact, in the event that even one of the following hypotheses occurs, we will lose the perfect evaluation.
- 8 × 8 blocks are considered disorder
- A block is considered clutter if there are more than 45 occupied squares inside it
- Buildings, bridges, buried objects, rocks, cliffs, rivers and slopes do not count for this
- More than 15 small objects left on the ground are synonymous with waste
- Natural objects such as branches, rocks and star fragments do not count (turnips instead count as waste)
Now that you have all the knowledge, you are ready to earn five stars in Animal Crossing. It’s not easy, but we’re sure you can do it.
Ah, don’t forget to fish, this month there are many new “new entries” and we list them here. | <urn:uuid:19d80779-9626-446b-8787-7ce78378d812> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://zazogame.com/en/we-reveal-the-trick-to-having-the-most-beautiful-island-in-animal-crossing/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.948557 | 1,026 | 1.507813 | 2 |
The modern construction industry definitely comes with a whole new array of challenges and demands. Some of the recent innovations in architecture make the traditional construction methods completely obsolete. That is why modern challenges drove the development of modern solutions. Technology has stepped in to completely redefine the way people build breath-taking new structures. There are amazing benefits that come from using innovative tech solutions. By far the biggest advantage comes from automating most of the work, which does wonders for boosting productivity while ensuring safety. Here is an overview of why automation and new technology is extremely important for the future of the construction industry.
One of the ways of improving how people work in construction is by providing adequate training for them. However, devising a comprehensive training program for the workers may not be so easy. In order to best teach people how to work even in the most high-pressure settings it is necessary to replicate these potentially life-threatening scenarios. For this reason, most employee training programs revolve around teaching theory in order to prevent any fatal accidents. Luckily, the use of powerful VR technology allows workers to have a realistic hands-on training experience. For instance, a person could in fact experience what it would be like working in a very tight spot with limited visibility. All of the foreseeable challenges can be replicated using VR technology.
Remove the human error factors
One of the most common ways that production and overall efficiency goes down is when workers become too fatigued and stressed out. This results in significant increase in the presence of human-error and injury rates. Still, deadlines have to be met and the bulk of the planning falls on the construction manager, who has to be able to carefully assess the status of every in-field operator and then assign them work. However, this is easier said than done. There is no actual way to monitor where everyone is and how they are handling their workload, where some people are overworked and others aren’t. That is why using the construction equipment fleet management software is so crucial because it simply allows you to assign work by assessing the use of the machinery in real time. This will ensure that workload is distributed equally and workers can get plenty of time to recover so that they can work efficiently and safely.
What was once a hobbyist trend and a pointless gadget, has now become an essential monitoring tool. In a hectic construction environment, there is a lot that could go wrong. Not only is there a lot of room for error in many hazardous situations, but there is a general lack of awareness that these factors even exist. The key to preventing any workplace accidents is having great oversight of the entire construction site. What better way to do that, than by seeing the full picture from a bird’s perspective? Drones are here to deliver real-time monitoring solutions, which can help better organize and manage the workforce but also minimize any risks associated with conducting this heavy and arduous work. In addition, it helps to conduct surveillance in the possible prevention of theft and crime that may affect your construction company.
Easier concrete mixing
One of the frequent efficiency leaks stems from the fact that in order to do anything on the construction site you need to have concrete constantly ready. Not long ago, it was quite common to see a considerable number of workers being excessively engaged in just the creation and preparation of concrete products. Concrete mixing takes a lot of time and energy, and this is where automation has been able to make a drastic difference. Now it is possible to prepare concrete and precast, as well as polish floors and remove surface water all by using control systems and robotics.
One of the most easily overlooked aspects of conducting construction work is the ineffective use of resources such as fuel. Luckily, modern technologies can allow construction managers to track the use of these resources even better, by optimizing travel routes and machine use. For instance, fuel can be used more sparingly due to the fact that there are better transportation routes planned out in advance.
Being able to handle complex and innovative construction industry trends seemed nearly impossible not too long ago. Luckily with the use of amazing new technology and machinery, these new challenges simply disappear and become a new norm. What really sets a good construction company apart is the use of the amazing capabilities of modern technology, which brings with it many spectacular benefits such as: reduction in human-error, drone surveillance, safer training, easier concrete mixing and cutting costs.

Alcohol is a topic that has been touch upon in the Quran in several verses. Alcohol may include any beverage that has a certain percentage of alcohol in it and is an intoxicant including wine, beer, liquor, and so on. The consumption of alcohol and intoxicants is prohibited in the Quran.
In this article, we will discuss the topic of alcohol in Quran. The following topics will be discussed:
References to Alcohol in Quran
The Quran talks about the ruling concerning alcohol and intoxicating drinks by using the Arabic word khamr (خَمر), which literally means concealment. The reason intoxicating drinks have been given this name is that they put a veil or conceal the mind such that it does not function properly. At the time of the Prophet, alcoholic drinks mostly included fermented drinks made from certain fruits like grapes (wine) and dates as well as grains such as malt (beer).
All of these fermented drinks have certain percentages of alcohol in them. Nowadays, there are a wider variety of alcoholic drinks that all fall under the category of khamr, because they also conceal the mind and cause intoxication. Therefore, the word khamr, which the Quran uses, means any intoxicating drink that has alcohol or any other intoxicating agent in it. If you want to know more about which beverages are unlawful to drink in Islam, please enroll in our course on “Halal Food.”
Verses of Alcohol in Quran
Let us go over the verses of the Quran that speak about alcohol:
يَسْـَٔلُونَكَ عَنِ ٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلْمَيْسِرِ ۖ قُلْ فِيهِمَآ إِثْمٌ كَبِيرٌ وَمَنَـٰفِعُ لِلنَّاسِ وَإِثْمُهُمَآ أَكْبَرُ مِن نَّفْعِهِمَا ﴿219﴾
They ask you about wine and gambling. Tell them, there are great sins in them, [even though they bring] some profit to the people, but their sin is greater than their profit.1
It is interesting that wine and gambling have been asked about together. This shows that these two misbehaviors were mostly done at the same time during the time of the Prophet. Allah says in this verse that even though there might be some profit in them both, their sinfulness is much greater than their profit. For example, alcohol may have certain health benefits. Some say it is good for kidney stones.
However, the harm it does to the brain, gut, liver, and other organs is much more and outweighs the benefit it has for the kidneys. Likewise, gambling might be profitable if one wins and gains a lot of money. However, one can also lose everything he owns by gambling.
Was the Consumption of Alcohol in Quran Permissible at First?
The aforementioned verse is the first verse that Allah revealed to the Prophet about alcoholic drinks and shows that such an act was a sin and was not originally allowed in Islam. However, because it was so common among the Arabs, Allah had not asked Prophet Muhammad to announce its prohibition yet and used gentle and soft words to show its evil nature. In fact, Allah wanted to gradually abolish such an evil act and at that time it was too soon.
After about a decade passed, Allah officially asked the Prophet to convey His message concerning wine and alcoholic drinks and announce its prohibition by revealing the following verse of Surah Maidah:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا ٱلْخَمْرُ وَٱلْمَيْسِرُ وَٱلْأَنصَابُ وَٱلْأَزْلَـٰمُ رِجْسٌ مِّنْ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنِ فَٱجْتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ ﴿90﴾
O You Who Believe! Indeed, wine, gambling, idols, and divining arrows (a way of gambling) are evil and of Satan’s act; therefore, leave them aside in order that you may prosper.2
What is the Reason Behind Prohibition of Alcohol in Quran?
The next verse of surah Maidah continues by clarifying the reason behind its prohibition:
إِنَّمَا يُرِيدُ ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ أَن يُوقِعَ بَيْنَكُمُ ٱلْعَدَٰوَةَ وَٱلْبَغْضَآءَ فِى ٱلْخَمْرِ وَٱلْمَيْسِرِ وَيَصُدَّكُمْ عَن ذِكْرِ ٱللَّـهِ وَعَنِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ ۖ فَهَلْ أَنتُم مُّنتَهُونَ ﴿91﴾
Indeed, Satan desires to incur enmity and hatred between you through wine and gambling, and he desires to prevent you from God’s remembrance and prayer, yet will you, then give [them] up?3
So, it is Satan who tries to misguide us by drawing us toward alcohol and intoxicants, and by doing so, he wants to prevent us from remembering Allah and performing salat and cause enmity among us. Besides, alcohol is a very harmful substance that is very bad for one’s health. This is such an obvious fact that it does not need to be proven, even though many scientific studies have done so.
For example, it has been proven that many degenerative brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease is expedited and exacerbated by consumption of alcohol. Moreover, women who are pregnant and consume alcohol may cause serious birth defects for their child.
Effects of Drinking Alcohol on Acts of Worship
According to many of our narrations, whosoever drinks alcoholic intoxicants such as wine or beer, their salat will not be accepted for forty days unless they repent.4 However, this does not mean that the individual can skip praying for forty days, as it is still his or her religious duty to offer prayers. It only means that Allah will not be content with his prayer for forty days, but he must still perform his religious duty of praying while at the same time repenting of his sin.
Furthermore, Allah says in the Quran:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا تَقْرَبُوا۟ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَنتُمْ سُكَـٰرَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَعْلَمُوا۟ مَا تَقُولُونَ
O You Who Believe! Do not perform prayer when you are intoxicated until you know what you say.5
This verse was revealed at a time when the Prophet of Allah had not yet officially announced the prohibition of drinking intoxicants. However, this was a gradual step in making the announcement in the future. Allah wanted to show how evil and sinful the act of drinking alcohol is, that one should not be intoxicated or drunk while offering a sacred act of worship such as salat.
How Can Drinking Alcohol Affect One’s Behavior?
After knowing the harmful effects of alcohol on the mind, it is quite obvious that alcohol can cause aggressive and violent behavior. “Alcohol may encourage aggression or violence by disrupting normal brain function. According to the disinhibition hypothesis, for example, alcohol weakens brain mechanisms that normally restrain impulsive behaviors, including inappropriate aggression.”6 Furthermore, alcohol has a negative effect on one’s spirit and soul. For example, drinking alcohol darkens the soul and makes one less inclined to spirituality. Based on a narration from the Noble Prophet, his holiness said, “I swear by the God who made me a prophet, the drinker of khamr (alcoholic drink) will enter the mahshar (the scene of Judgment Day) while his face is black, pounds his head on the ground, and shouts out of thirst.”7 If you are wondering which drinks are forbidden to drink in Islam, enroll in Islam4u’s course on “Halal.”
Heavenly Alcohol in Quran?
The Quran speaks about a specific kind of khamr that does not cause intoxication, unlike worldly khamr. The wine in paradise is a specific kind that does not cause any intoxication but causes a feeling of euphoria and intense pleasure. The Quran talks about this kind of drink in many verses as one of the blessings and rewards of paradise. For example in verses 17-19 of surah Waqiah, Allah says:
يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ ﴿17﴾
The immortal [handsome] youth walk around [to serve] them.
بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ ﴿18﴾
With bowls and vessels and a cup from a flowing spring.
لَّا يُصَدَّعُونَ عَنْهَا وَلَا يُنزِفُونَ ﴿19﴾
They will not cause headache nor will they be intoxicated.8
Another verse describes the good feeling that the inhabitants of paradise get when they drink the heavenly wine due to it being so delicious:
مَّثَلُ ٱلْجَنَّةِ ٱلَّتِى وُعِدَ ٱلْمُتَّقُونَ ۖ فِيهَآ أَنْهَـٰرٌ مِّن مَّآءٍ غَيْرِ ءَاسِنٍ وَأَنْهَـٰرٌ مِّن لَّبَنٍ لَّمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ طَعْمُهُۥ وَأَنْهَـٰرٌ مِّنْ خَمْرٍ لَّذَّةٍ لِّلشَّـٰرِبِينَ
And the description of the heaven promised to the pious [are gardens] in which there are rivers with incorruptible water and the rivers of milk whose flavor does not change and the rivers of drinks which is delicious to those who drink [from it].9
Therefore, the wine of paradise is completely different from the earthly one and does not cause intoxication. It actually has the opposite effect, meaning dwellers of paradise enjoy its taste, which causes them to have a feeling of euphoria.
What Percentage of Alcohol is Halal in Islam?
There are three types of alcohol that jurists have determined.
- Drinkable alcohol that is obtained from fruit, sugarcane, and grains such as whiskey, liquor, vodka, beer, and so forth.
- Rubbing alcohol such as ethyl alcohol in high percentages aka ethanol and isopropyl alcohol used for pharmaceutical and medical purposes
- Industrial alcohol such as methyl alcohol aka methanol
Drinking all three kinds of alcohol, no matter what their percentage is, is religiously unlawful (ḥarām) in Islam, whether it intoxicates or does not, or is pure or impure. God says that the alcohol that people drink and causes intoxication is rijs (رِجس) meaning it is impure (نَجِس). In Islam, eating or drinking anything that is impure is religiously unlawful. For example, one cannot drink the blood of animals, even if their meat is halal. Therefore, alcohol, which is also impure, is forbidden to drink. To know more about what is halal or haram to consume, enroll in Islam4u’s course on “Halal Food.”
Pharmaceutical and industrial alcohol are forbidden to drink although they are not impure, but rather because they are poisonous and can cause someone to die or go blind. Even drinking one drop of them is prohibited, however, most if not all jurists say they are pure and can be used for the benefits they have such as in disinfecting surgical appliance, among other uses. Therefore, the second and third types of alcohol can be used in halal ways other than drinking them, while the first type has no halal usage at all. Moreover, selling alcoholic beverages is prohibited in Islam, and even the food of a restaurant that serves alcohol is not halal either.
Alcohol in Quran is a topic that has been touched upon in several verses. Allah has from the very beginning said that consumption of intoxicants such as alcohol is a sin, although it might have some benefits, yet its sin and harms outweigh its benefits. In the final verse that was revealed about alcohol in Quran, Allah categorically and emphatically prohibits the use of alcohol and states that it is the action of Satan.
If a person drinks alcohol, his or her prayers will not be accepted for forty days. However, this does not mean that they should not pray as it is still their religious duty to offer their salat. Insha’Allah, Allah will guard all Muslims from even getting close to drinking alcohol. In the end, if, God forbid, a Muslim drinks alcohol, he should know that he can always return to Allah and repent. Once again, you can learn all about what food or drinks are halal and what are not by enrolling in the course on “Halal Food.”

Instagram advertising has become the strategy for decision by most people and organizations that need to make the most in gaining their beneficial salary on the web. As a result of its demonstrated capacity to impact the purchasing choices of customers, the Instagram is viewed as a definitive apparatus in promoting one’s business on the web. The Instagram is one road in web showcasing that ought to be investigated and boosted by any individual who needs to build their salary or income from their business. Since nearly everybody today is an individual from a couple of social systems administration locales, you as of now have the expected measurements to advertise your items or administrations. What you have to invest energy with is the way to acclimate yourself with how every one of the locales functions in enabling you to advance your items and administrations.
For example, Facebook permits you to make a fan page or a like page where you can accumulate your focused on traffic and give them your business updates and advancements. Twitter, then again, is best in impacting your short liner limited time crusades progressively. Instagram showcasing in any case, not at all like your typical offshoot advertising efforts, necessitates that you figure out how to offset your special battles with your social associations with the individuals who have a place with the system. This implies you must have the option to socialize instagram private profile viewer with the individuals from the network before you can anticipate that they should pay attention to your business and like you. You should need to remember that social systems administration destinations are as a matter of first importance a spot to manufacture associations with its individuals. You additionally need to take careful steps by the way you present your business on these social systems administration locales. As any limited time crusade that you dispatch can prompt viral promoting, this can either work for your potential benefit or disservice.
The key is to furnish your crowd with solid data. Keep in mind your crowd and underestimate them. Social systems administration individuals can without much of a stretch recognize horrible promoting efforts from those that are real and sound. Set aside the effort to painstakingly construct your battles and set up your relationship with the individuals from your social systems administration destinations. You need to gain their trust before you can anticipate that they should genuinely think about your offers. When you have fabricated your notoriety with your social systems, you will perceive how Instagram advertising can detonate your income that you should simply to support and keep up your great relations with the individuals from your social systems. | <urn:uuid:6cb373f3-188d-46e6-ada0-27cb57f90b6b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://graspodeua.com/2021/ultimate-method-to-boost-your-business-page-profitability.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571758.42/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812200804-20220812230804-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.95838 | 493 | 1.570313 | 2 |

Nail polish chips because it is made of a material that becomes brittle when exposed to the air. The chipping may is due to several forces, one of which is nail growth. Nail polish also tends to chip when engaged in manual activity or when applied improperly.
Nail polish is primarily made from a material known as nitrocellulose. Nitrocellulose is usually made from cotton that has been treated with various types of acid. It was originally used for camera film in the early 20th century. When used for nail polish it is dissolved in a solvent with added pigments, resins, plasticizers and adhesives.
When nail polish is applied, it adheres to your nails and remains stuck to your nails as it dries. When it dries, the solvents evaporate, and the nitrocellulose becomes a thin, hard film. The strength of the bond between the molecules of the film and between the film and your nail vary depending on how it is applied and how well the nail polish was mixed before being applied.
As time goes on, various factors contribute to nail chipping. The strength of the adhesive bonds of nail polish begin to fade, so some parts of the nail polish are not held onto the nail very tightly. Most nail chipping is due to the nail coming into contact with other solid objects, which simply breaks off pieces. Some nail polish that is adhered strongly to a nail may chip due to nail growth, but often the nail polish simply moves with the nail as it grows.
To prevent nail polish from chipping, it is recommended to make sure your nails are clean and the polish is well-mixed before being applied. It is also recommended that you apply a base coat, allow it to dry, and then apply your polish. Finally, you can apply a top coat that creates a protective barrier between your nail polish and the outside world. Following these steps will greatly reduce nail chipping.

Efficient processing of semantically represented sensor data
Large collections of sensor data are semantically described using ontologies, e.g., the Semantic Sensor Network (SSN) ontology. Semantic sensor data are RDF descriptions of sensor observations from related sampling frames or sensors at multiple points in time, e.g., climate sensor data. Sensor values can be repeated in a sampling frame, e.g., a particular temperature value can be repeated several times, resulting in a considerable increase in data volume. We devise a factorized compact representation of semantic sensor data using linked data technologies to reduce repetition of same sensor values, and propose algorithms to generate collections of factorized semantic sensor data that can be managed by existing RDF triple stores. We empirically study the effectiveness of the proposed factorized representation of semantic sensor data. We show that the size of semantic sensor data is reduced by more than 50% on average without loss of information. Further, we have evaluated the impact of this factorized representation of semantic sensor data on query execution. Results suggest that query optimizers can be empowered with semantics from factorized representations to generate query plans that effectively speed up query execution time on factorized semantic sensor data. | <urn:uuid:de9e6d48-5662-41f7-9bda-7e87ed163a64> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://publica.fraunhofer.de/entities/publication/f40b5edb-6ec8-4bb8-947a-0081c225f21e | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.862385 | 244 | 1.609375 | 2 |
Moving data, workloads and business applications (apps) into and out of cloud service platforms, which must be addressed by cybersecurity solutions, is part of the maturing use of cloud by businesses, says cybersecurity Europe, Middle East and Africa Fortinet chief information security officer evangelist Alain Sanchez.
Companies are using cloud platforms to test new services and processes at scale in addition to more typical outsourcing models, but are also bringing some of these services back into their own information technology (IT) environments once the tests are complete.
This information is derived from the global IHS Markit survey, commissioned by Fortinet, which found that 74% of IT decision-makers in 350 companies had reintroduced elements that had been kept in the cloud to their companies’ premises. Forty percent of these actions were planned, indicating the maturing use of cloud systems.
“We believe that this is part of a virtuous cycle where the cloud serves to probe and test at scale innovations that companies develop,” he says.
It is not always possible for companies to accurately predict how quickly an application will be adopted by clients without testing at scale, but it is easy to build apps in the cloud to monitor crucial performance metrics using the analytics tools and modules in place in cloud systems.
These cloud tools enable companies to get a sense of how well a service or product will perform and how quickly it may be adopted, while having a test environment with known and controllable operating costs, explains Sanchez.
“This enables project managers and developers to gain performance statistics based on large-scale implementation trials with which to illustrate their projects and proposals to the board or executive.”
Once a project is approved, many of these tests are taken out of the cloud and brought back into the company’s environment.
“While this phenomenon does not change the fundamental value proposition of the cloud or its anticipated continued growth, it does illustrate that cybersecurity solutions must protect data even when it is moved between elements in hybrid IT environments and/or cloud platforms,” emphasises Sanchez.
Cybersecurity officers recognise that data is the ultimate asset, and must be protected beyond even the network’s perimeter and the datacentre.
“The physical location of IT hardware is irrelevant and all data must be protected. However, other pressures are also placed on cybersecurity officers, such as CFOs advocating the use of the cloud to save costs.
“Putting some elements into the cloud and then bringing it back is healthy for businesses on one condition: that cybersecurity cannot be compromised whether the data and elements are in-house or moved between external service providers,” he says.
Manually reprogramming all security policies for each element as it transits between datacentres is not a solution; it would also limit the benefits and flexibility afforded by cloud platforms in addition to compromising cybersecurity.
Any cybersecurity solution must allow for one governing policy to be applied to a type of application, such as a simple spreadsheet or business information app, across all platforms.
However, it is not possible for, or realistic to expect, any cybersecurity solution to guarantee security in all environments. Fortinet’s Visions cybersecurity solution is also designed to function as a security hypervisor to manage cybersecurity policies across platforms and ensure that such policies follow the apps and data, even in conjunction with other solutions.
Therefore, Fortinet has focused on leveraging its core expertise of protecting various IT environments to develop the Fortinet Security Fabric platform and enable companies to better manage their data and cybersecurity in complex, modern IT environments, concludes Sanchez.
* Companies are using cloud platforms to test new services and processes at scale and cybersecurity solutions must protect data in all environments and during transitions.
* Cybersecurity solution must allow for one governing policy to be applied to a type of application across all platforms. | <urn:uuid:19845232-74f4-4a82-9274-4c8db9b4c615> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://engineeringnews.co.za/article/cybersecurity-evolving-as-cloud-platform-use-matures-2019-10-25 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.953613 | 785 | 1.757813 | 2 |

Task decomposition refers to the whole-part composition structure of a task model. In every level of the decomposition individual tasks are heuristically seen as representing those subtasks that are the steps which describe the procedural content of the whole task entity. The association relationship encapsulates this portion of meaning that go across the limits of the individual entities. A task-parallel model focuses on processes, or threads of execution. The processes are often behaviourally dissimiler, which stresses on the need for communication. Task parallelism provides a natural way to express message-passing communication. It is usually classified as MIMD/MPMD or MISD.
Data parallelism emphasizes on redistributing the whole data into the different parallel computing nodes. This is achieved when each processor begins performing the same task on the individual pieces of distributed data. In certain situations, a single execution thread may control the operations on all pieces of data. In others, individual threads control the operation, but overall they run the same code. Data parallelism focuses on the distributed nature of the data(parallelized), as opposed to the processing.
Most real programs fall somewhere on a continuum between task parallelism and data parallelism.

OLD VINE WINES
We passionately believe that old vines produce some of the most exciting , personality-packed and truly individual wines in the world; wines which are the embodiment of their unique terroir!
One of the most wonderful sights for any wine afficionado is that of an ancient, gnarled, thick-trunked, grape vine which has clearly been rooted in its terroir for decades. To withstand a combination of strong winds, heavy rain, extreme heat and dryness over many years takes real “plant” strength, character and individuality – and these same qualities can be tasted in the resulting wine!
Old vines can be found all over the world, but they play a particularly important role in warmer, drier wine regions, where water is often scarce and so deep roots which can syphon out every drop of moisture from deep below the surface are hugely important to a vine’s survival. The world’s oldest vineyards still in production can be found in Greece and Slovenia, where one is claimed to have vines over 400 years old! Generally however, most wine makers describe “old” as being over 35 years of age. The Barossa region of South Australia has taken these definitions one step further in the last few years, producing a formal “Old Vine Charter”, which defines vines over 35 years of age as “old”, over 70 years as “survivors”, over 100 years as “centurions” and over 125 years as “ancestors”. These seem excellent definitions, and they will hopefully become more widely adopted by the rest of the world’s wine industry.

So what is special about wines from old vines?
As a vine gets older it produces less grapes, and those it does produce tend to be smaller. This means that there is a higher concentration of grape sugars and minerals in each grape, and more juice to skin contact. Thus old vine wines have an extra level of concentration, fruit intensity and structure than wines from younger vines. They have more depth and density of flavour, and they often have a spicy character, particularly old vine Grenache or Syrah.
The roots of an old vine dig far deeper than those of younger vines. This means they are able to extract more minerals from the soil deep below, and their wines tend to have an extra sense of “minerality” and precision . Thus old vine wines provide a vivid expression of the vine’s terroir, tasting more of the place than of the specific grape they were grown from.
As vines age they learn to adapt to their landscape and climate, producing the optimum amount of fruit per vine according to the conditions of each year; everything is in perfect balance in the vineyard, and this effortless balance is translated into the wines in the form of silky smooth tannins and a freshness of acidity, even in the hottest of growing regions.
Old vines are sadly however very rare in today’s wine world. Their low yields make them far less economical than younger vines, so usually vines are replaced every 20-25 years. Consumer tastes change fairly regularly, and as people demand different grapes and wine styles, those vines with grape varietals which are going out of fashion get replaced by new, trendier grape varietals. The biggest single destroyer of the world’s old vine population was phylloxera, a vine disease which devastated most of the world’s vineyards during the late 19th century. As a result, vines in all infected areas were dug up and replaced with vines which were grafted onto phylloxera-resistant American rootstocks. You can still find pre-phylloxera vines however in a few isolated wine regions of the world such as Chile, The Barossa Valley in South Australia, some parts of Sonoma in California and Franschhoek in South Africa; or on the sandy soils one finds in the Mediterranean Islands or other seaside vineyard regions such as Colares outside Lisbon in Portugal.
In short, old vines can produce truly great and memorable wines, with an inner strength, structure and freshness which you simply can’t find from younger vines. They are definitely worth seeking out and paying a little extra for! | <urn:uuid:49771e47-df85-4b6d-85c3-a91b8c57b652> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://realwines.ch/wine-styles/old-vine-wines/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571472.69/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811133823-20220811163823-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.952483 | 937 | 2.09375 | 2 |
The Build Back Better behemoth of a spending package has reignited the debate about more government spending on health care. Some of the things that are in the BBB “social-spending plan”:
A proposal to allow Medicare to negotiate drug prices for certain higher-cost drugs that lack competition
Subsidies through the Affordable Care Act to make coverage more affordable through 2025 and the expansion of Medicaid coverage for those living in states that opted against expansion
Developing new state Medicaid requirements to guarantee coverage for more vulnerable patients, including 12 months of continuous Medicaid and CHIP eligibility to postpartum women
Transparency measures for pharmacy benefit managers
Chris Holt from American Action Forum adds more details:
The BBBA expands who is eligible for Affordable Care Act premium tax credits (PTCs) and makes those PTCs more generous for everyone. According to the American Action Forum’s (AAF) Center for Health and Economy, these policies would increase the number of insured individuals by 2.2 million in 2022, increasing to 3.9 million in 2025 relative to current law, and would cost $272 billion over those four years. The coverage gains would, however, evaporate in 2026 without further congressional action. In a series of last-minute negotiations, Democrats added a number of policies aimed at reducing prescription drug spending to the BBBA legislation. Significantly, the BBBA would allow the Secretary of Health and Human Services to directly negotiate what Medicare pays for drugs for the first time. The details of the proposal make it abundantly clear, however, that this negotiation will amount to little more than government price-fixing.The BBBA includes long-sought reforms to the Medicare prescription drug benefit—originally put forward by AAF in 2018—aimed at realigning insurer and drugmaker incentives to hold down Part D costs, and capping Part D beneficiaries’ out-of-pocket spending on drugs.
The cost figures that Holt mentions are on the low end, for a number of reasons that I will return to in a separate article. Before we analyze just how costly these measures will be, there is an overarching issue that deserves our attention first: should, or should not, government be a provider of health care in the first place?
This is an ideological question, and as such it seems to suffer from an ill-deserved pariah status in the current public discourse. Yet behind every debate over new government spending lurks a grain of generic opposition to that growth in the burden being placed on taxpayers’ shoulders. It is about time that we bring that debate out in the open and outline the ideological positions on the role of government.
If we start from the right, so to speak, the first ideological position is the libertarian one. Perhaps better known as “classical liberalism”, this ideology traces its roots back to John Locke and the thoughts on the tension between the state and the individual that emerged from the Renaissance and the Enlightenment eras. More recent thinkers – J S Mill and Robert Nozick to mention only two – have added a significant body of thought, inspiring especially the American strain of classical liberalism.
At the heart of libertarian political theory is the postulate that the individual is absolutely inviolable. This inviolability includes the individual’s property – morally defined as extensions of his labor – which leads to the conclusion that there are no moral reasons why anyone can take any property by force. This includes government.
By absolutely excluding taxes, libertarian political theory a priori nullifies any attempt at creating a government-run health care system. But there is also another side to the libertarian argument, namely the restrictions that a government-run system places on the choices that the individual can make. When government provides health care, it also decides when health care is provided, what care patients can receive, and – an often forgotten flip-side of that coin – what care patients can not receive.
This power over a person’s needs is as much a violation of his individual freedom as the power to tax him. Therefore, libertarian political theory absolutely rejects the notion of government-run health care.
Next up is the conservative ideological argument. Resting on different scholarly grounds, conservatism nevertheless shares the libertarian affinity for individual and economic freedom. While there is a wide range of conservative thought to take into account, their common denominator is one that places the individual in a social and cultural context. Where classical liberals (in telegraphic short-form) see the individual as an absolutely independent entity, conservatives emphasize that there is a context without which an individual will not be fostered into a virtuous, responsible citizen.
In common parlance, the conservative strain that places the most emphasis on the context is that which often places a “social” prefix on the ideology. In policy practice, social conservatism has a heritage to draw on that stretches back to the Elizabethan poor laws, but its more recent iterations were shown in the British Beveridge Report on how to build a conservative welfare state, and the expansion of government entitlement programs under President Franklin Roosevelt.
Neither example included a socialized health care system, for one good reason: entitlements are designed as last-resort solutions to financial hardship, not a means to economic redistribution. For the exact meaning of the difference, see my book Democracy or Socialism (Palgrave McMillan 2021). This last-resort approach is motivated by the idea that the individual belongs in a context where it is the state’s responsibility to provide for a virtuous social and cultural society. That role squarely excludes a government-run health-care system, as such a system would monopolize an entire industry, thereby annihilating the ability of the individual to exercise responsible citizenship over his own health care needs.
Furthermore, when government monopolizes health care, it does so based on a specific idea of how health-care resources ought to be distributed. There is no point in having government monopolize health care and then just let health care be provided according to the same pattern as would have been the case, had government not monopolized the industry. In short: socialized health care serves the purpose of economic redistribution, which is the core purpose of socialism.
Which brings us to the third ideology. A socialist logically argues for a government monopoly on health care because he believes that medical services ought to be provided according to different criteria than those under which the free market operates. The socialist has a general desire to focus government resources on the provision for needs, not wants, a focus that originates in its Marxist economic theory and can be traced back to the labor theory of value. (Again, see my book per link above.) This theory explicates a diametrically opposite view of the distribution of goods and services than does free-market capitalism: all resources in society must be focused on providing the very same basic goods and services to everyone, regardless of their individual characteristics – or efforts to add value to the economy.
This superficially appealing principle means, in reality, that government not only should, but must seize control over and responsibility for the provision of every citizen’s needs. From a central plan, necessitated by Marxist economic theory, emerges the production and distribution of the same basic goods and services for everyone; in terms of health care, government takes absolute control over every aspect of it. A patient in need of dental surgery cannot choose when, where or by whom the procedure should be provided; a patient whose hip is damaged to the point of needing replacement, cannot choose what prosthetic hip to get, nor the surgeon, nor the hospital.
In deciding how to provide health-care resources, government also has to prioritize how to allocate its scarce resources. It applies criteria that quantify the outcomes of, e.g., elective surgery, weighing who will get each procedure based on if the patient will be productive enough after recovery. Under a more prosaic socialist health-care system, such as the ones currently in use in many European countries, the “productive” criteria zero in on expected tax revenue from the person’s remaining years in the workforce. Under a more rigid system, such as those that were in operation in Eastern Europe under the Soviet Empire, the patient’s productivity is directly related to the labor value he will add after returning to work.
Either way, the government’s decision on how to allocate health-care resources will always be independent of the patient’s preferences. A patient may claim that he will benefit a great deal from a specific elective-surgery procedure; if government does not value his regained health as much as he does, and if government decides that another patient will generate more value, the other patient is given the procedure instead.
Where government controls health care, it controls all the criteria based on which health care is provided. The patient is excluded from the decision process.
This is, for sure, a very short account of the ideological approaches to the question about government and health care. However, it is not meant to provide an exhaustive analysis of exactly how government can participate – if at all – in the funding, production and allocation of medical services. It is means, rather, to point to the need for a principled conversation about what role government really should play on our society.
Tomorrow we will dig into health-care statistics and see whether or not it is the case that socialized systems really are better than the kind of hybrid model we have in America. | <urn:uuid:6fd948ef-6b7c-464b-89ea-64ea7b0d73e3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://libertybullhorn.blog/page/2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.952419 | 1,928 | 1.5625 | 2 |
By ‘dynamic form’ I mean an HTML form where the inputs can change based on
how the user populates the form. I tend to need this when there is an array
type in the data and the number of elements in the array is specified by the
user, or when there is a union type in the data and I want to change the
inputs shown based on the case selected by the user. An example is worth a
thousand more words.
In this tutorial, our developer advocate Khalid Abuhakmeh introduces you to
HTMX, and how to integrate it into your ASP.NET Core apps.
JetBrains’ support for htmx is still quite surreal. The tutorial is freely
available to all:
ASP.NET Core developers predominantly spend their development time on the
server, trying their best to steer clear of the scary world of client-side
development. But here’s a secret, it doesn’t have to be a daunting prospect
to build client-side experiences if you use HTMX. Learn what HTMX is, how to
integrate it with your existing knowledge of ASP.NET Core development, and
how to take your client-side development to the next level with relative
ease. You’ll never look at client-side development the same way ever again.
Rashad Gover, Hypermedia-Driven Web Apps in Haskell
In this talk I present a new approach to building web apps in Haskell, using
htmx. htmx gives you access to AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets and Server
Sent Events directly in HTML, using attributes, so you can build modern user
interfaces with the simplicity and power of hypertext. With the power of this
technology, Haskellers can now build 100% Haskell web apps without depending
on GHCJS. I’ll also be briefly showcasing a new microframework based on
monadic parsing called Okapi. Okapi was inspired by F#’s Giraffe, and is
meant to be a lightweight, simple tool used for rapid prototyping and
learning server-side web development.

Use the 204 No Content status code to optimize polling
A user had a table being polled every 2 seconds. The table was being augmented
— regardless of whether the table changed.
You can use the 204 No Content status code to tell browsers they should keep
showing the old page, and htmx respects this convention by not swapping.
There is actually a bit of a debate about whether htmx should swap 204
responses. I hold that if you need anything visible to happen upon the response
being received, 204 is the wrong status code to use — use 200 OK with an
empty body instead. | <urn:uuid:9fce4904-3ea6-4448-a19f-a5df5f3f4239> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thisweek.htmx.org/issue/13/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.878991 | 752 | 1.648438 | 2 |
In spite of these variances, equally mobile lines showed comparable apoptotic responses to doxorubicin as indicated by cleavage of caspase three. These knowledge assist that each cell traces categorical useful p53 and phosphorylation of ATM/ ATR substrates this sort of as p53 and H2AX, in response to DNA damage. Again, the PyV MT/jnk22/two cells confirmed a lot more sturdy induction of p21Waf1 relative to p53 activation. This disparity did not direct to variations in cell loss of life, indicating that jnk2 expression does not mediate mobile response to DSBs but rather is particular to mobile demise in response to mobile cycle initiation. Offered that the PyV MT/jnk22/2 cells confirmed significantly less phosphorylation of the p53 Ser15 residue, we examined the position of ATM/ATR in replication induced mobile loss of life making use of caffeine (an ATM/ATR inhibitor) prior to and for the duration of FBS publicity. Determine 6B exhibits that caffeine inhibited FBS induced cell demise in the PyV MT/ jnk22/2 cells, whereas PyV MT/jnk2+/+ cells confirmed minimal apoptosis in any team. Caffeine’s cytoprotection was related with reduce p21Waf1 expression and p53 Ser15 phosphorylation in the jnk2 knockout mobile line. Caffeine remedy also inhibited p53 phosphorylation in the PyV MT/jnk2+/+ mobile line but p21Waf1 remained undetectable all through (Determine 6C). These knowledge support that mobile cycle induced DNA damage associated with ATM or ATR activation leads to induction of p21Waf1 and cell loss of life in the jnk2 knockout cells. We then centered our studies more closely on the DNA replication element CDT1. CDT1 expression is essential for replication fork development throughout S period. Geminin inhibits CDT1 to stall replication forks and allow G2/M transit. CDT1 degradation by proteases also facilitates this procedure. Lack of CDT1 inhibition/degradation or overexpression of CDT1 results in re-replication in some mobile strains. In other mobile strains, mobile cycle examine factors inhibit re-replication by activating ATR/Chk1 responses. Collapsed replication forks or overt re-replication can direct to double strand breaks. ATM/p53 induction and increased p21Waf1 expression are responses that stop or restore DNA hurt . As in preceding reports, cells have been serum starved and then stimulated with FBS. Endogenous Similarly, CDT1 expression was evaluated in a time dependent trend alongside with p53 Ser15 phosphorylation and p21Waf1 expression. PyV MT/jnk2+/+ cells increased CDT1 expression right after serum treatment method which 2�?3,4,4�?tetrahydroxy Chalcone biological activity decreased right after eighteen and 24 hours, constant with G2/M transit (Determine 7A). These responses are indicative of replicative pressure or extended S stage. In jnk2 wildtype cells phosphorylation of p53 was preceded by Chk1 phosphorylation, CDT1 and p21Waf120672825 expression. Additionally, Chk1 is only phosphorylated in PyV MT/jnk2+/+ cells in late S stage, constant with standard S period transit and the simple fact that Chk1 need to grow to be inactivated to recover from the checkpoint arrest [twenty five,26]. Overexpression of CDT1 initiates replication fork firing and induces a ATR/Chk1 reaction . The performance of CDT1 to induce replication fork firing is dependent upon its expression level and on its binding to the inhibitory protein geminin and/or degradation by Cul4-Ddb1cdt2 or SCFSKP2. Overexpression of CDT1 was employed to far more carefully assess the role of JNK2 throughout replicative anxiety. Flow cytometric evaluation showed that PyV MT/ jnk2+/+ underwent re-replication when CDT1 was overexpressed in contrast to the PyV MT/jnk22/two cells which did not (Determine 7B). To assess verify position response throughout replicative anxiety, cells had been left untreated, treated with hydroxyurea (HU, another agent inducing replicative stress by stalling replicative forks), or infected with adenoviral GFP or CDT1. | <urn:uuid:02c9fa84-cdf3-4207-94f6-1dc7368cc751> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ck2inhibitor.com/2017/01/04/in-distinction-pyv-mtjnk222-confirmed-early-and-sustained-induction-of-p21waf1-and-phosphorylated-chk1-which-had-been-concurrent-with-elevated-cdt1-expression-which-continued-for-at-minimum-24-hrs/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571150.88/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810070501-20220810100501-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.906193 | 973 | 1.820313 | 2 |
Hebrews 13:14 For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come.
Today the kids and I asked to go to the Carl Hermann Gymnasium, which will be Anjali’s school. We met with her English teacher, Kirstin Ludeke. She was so nice and we had no problem at all getting Anjali set up and ready to start school. We are trying to get everyone ready for the start of school tomorrow. Making sure backpacks are ready and purchasing new water bottles (since David and Lucia lost theirs). This passage seems quite fitting given our current circumstance. We left our home in Madison just over two weeks ago and since then, we have been to Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin; Chicago, Illinois; London, England; Berlin, Germany; and now Schönebeck, Germany—and that’s just from traveling. We have actually been to several other cities to visit during our stay here thus far! But this brings me back to the passage, “for here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come”. Out time here on Earth is just a glimpse of time, it is a preparation for the eternal life with God. If we choose to, we can make each of our stops home, because the only true home is our home with our family and with God—and that can be wherever we are presently.
Tonight Birgit and Johannes came over to give both Anjali and David a schultuete, which is a German tradition for all first year students. And while Anjali and David are not first year students, they are first year students here in Germany! This is such a neat tradition. These decorative cones were stuffed with some basic school supplies and tons of treats and snacks for the kids. They were so excited!
Now to get the kids in bed early to start school tomorrow (actually only David and Anjali start tomorrow), but Lucia still has to be up and ready so we can get everyone off to school on time. Anjali has to be out of the door by 6:50 am and David has to be to school by 7:15 am. This is very early for our family and what our children are used to back in Madison, WI. | <urn:uuid:661efe7d-6493-453f-80c2-9bd179920904> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://sarasjournalanddailyscripture.wordpress.com/2018/10/14/wednesday-august-8-2018/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.975701 | 476 | 1.5625 | 2 |
Gonna give a quick how to for connecting to and getting your sqlite database
from your production app on fly.io. It can be a bit confusing but once you get
your ssh connection set up and openssh installed on your fly.io server, it’s
much easier to replicate. In this tutorial we will be connecting to your fly.io
instance via wireguard and ssh, then insalling openssh on your instance so we
scp from your local computer to copy the sqlite db file for viewing
You’ll need to connect wireguard to fly.io by creating a wireguard config file
with the fly CLI. Use
flyctl wireguard create to create a file called
wireguard.conf. Then open wireguard and import that file and activate that ssh
Next you’re going to connect to your fly instance via ssh. Type
fly ssh issue --agent then
fly ssh console to ssh into your instance.
Once you’re in you’ll need to install openssh on the instance to be able to
securely copy files from your instance to your local computer. Do this with the
apt-get install openssh-client.
At this stage you’ll want to create a backup of your database to copy to your local machine so nothing goes wrong trying to copy the file while a transaction is happening. You can do this in one of 2 ways:
sqlite3 data/sqlite.db '.backup data/backup.db'
sqlite3 data/sqlite.db "VACUUM INTO 'data/backup.db'"
You may have to change the path to your database, mine was in the data directory.
Exit ssh with
Now you can copy your sqlite db file to your local computer with
scp root@[app-name].internal:/data/backup.db fly_backup.db.
Don’t forget to fill in the name of your app on fly.io and change the path to
wherever you backed up your sqlite db on your server. Mine is at

The introduction of Netflix to Kenya has received a substantial amount of backlash from the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) ever since its introduction to the country on the 6th of January. The American multinational provider of Internet streaming media with over 74 million subscribers globally, 44 million being U.S citizens has been said to be a threat to the country’s “moral values and national security”
Speaking at a press conference in Nairobi, Mr. Jackson Kosgei, the chairman of KFCB added that the country would not be a “passive recipient of foreign content that could corrupt the moral values of our children.” The KFCB board has also added the films and programs are filled with extreme violence, nudity, drug abuse and inappropriate language.
But even with the issue of content regulation of the programs that Netflix provides, it still remains a winner in most people’s eyes. With most of the country’s population switching to digital television in the past year, viewers have been given the freedom to view what they want, in comparison to pay TV that only had specific programs. In this age of free online content, Wi-Fi speeds like that of a cheetah and the fact that 1 in every 10 people has access to a computer or a laptop, the government’s need to control what we view shouldn’t be an option.
As you walk around Nairobi’s CBD area, familiar signs for example, ‘Buy 4 movies and get one free’ or ‘Buy movies at Kshs 40 each’ always hit one’s eyes; and if that doesn’t get your attention then try walking around estates and you will definitely get a movie shop a stone’s throw away. Even without the initiation of Netflix in the country, there is still a way in which anyone can get the popular series that stream on the service like the infamous Orange is the new black and House of Cards.
But let’s look at it this way. What do we stand for? Is it that the programs that are aired on television that define who we really are? Do they say what we stand for as a people?
Also, why is the government trying to regulate morality? I do not think that the government should be spending their time trying to play moral police. They should focus on stabilizing our economy and doing more on development projects than thinking that just because 50 Shades of Grey is being watched by people all over the world, that we will also somehow start being Dominatrix and Submissives.
I believe that we elected the government to help steer our nation to a better future and not to decide what we may or may not watch. I highly believe that we are well capable of that on our own. Besides, if the regulating body does decide to sit and review all the 125 million hours of content on Netflix, they will be done sometime in the year 2029. Where will we be as a country then? I don’t know about you but I didn’t not elect my government to put up moral signs for me everywhere I turn.
In the end it all boils down to choice. We all have the power to choose. You can choose either to view content that is considered “threats to national security” or you could choose to feed your mind and soul with idealisms that will enrich you. It all boils down to choice, and we have the moral capability to decide what we should and should not watch. Besides in this day and age, nothing is out of reach.

We cancelled our Community Seder. We suspended our programing. We have turned to Zoom for board meetings and rituals. We are experiencing isolation, separation from friends, organizations, programs and entertainment. Culture, information, social connection have all been squeezed into a narrow bandwidth – delivered by cable, internet or wireless signals.
For some of us, the break in our routines has focused our attention inward. Relieved of our usual schedules, we suddenly have time and opportunity to reflect. How did we spend yesterday, last week? Are we making the most of this pause in life as usual?
In spiritual tradition, it is called “living counted hours.” A ‘counted hour’ is an hour lived on purpose. Whether we devote the next hour to introspection, spending time with loved ones, reading, exercise or binge watching something on tv, we might just take a moment to consider whether we have made that hour count. Living counted hours can add up to living counted days. And with the passage of each day, as we take a page off our conceptual wall calendar, we might consider whether that day gets tossed in the trash or whether it has value. Counted days become “days that count.”
At the Preservation Society’s last board meeting, we asked “what can we do to help?” We decided to encourage members to donate to three local food distribution organizations. That is a start. We will continue to ask that question and we’re confident that there will be many answers that will count. | <urn:uuid:4acbd49a-2d38-4716-b936-146c0609c41e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://templebethisraelct.org/what-to-do-in-a-time-of-pandemic/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.951008 | 317 | 1.59375 | 2 |
Listen To The Sonic Boom Generated By An F-16 Flying Supersonic Over Oshkosh
The F-16 of the Viper Demo Team inadvertently “broke” the sound barrier during a high speed pass at Oshkosh AirVenture.
Something interested happened at Oshkosh AirVenture on July 29, 2021, as the U.S. Air Force F-16 “Venom” of the Viper Demo Team carried out a high speed pass as part of its display routine.
As tens of thousands of airshow spectators could witness, the F-16 accelerated to supersonic speed, generating the typical loud bang and shockwave that normally come with the “breaking” of the sound barrier.
As already explained multiple times here at The Aviationist, the characteristic loud bang or “sonic boom“ is the sound associated with the shock waves created by an object traveling through the air faster than the speed of sound. In fact, when an aircraft passes through the air it creates a series of pressure waves around it similar to the bow and stern waves created by a boat on the water. These waves travel at the speed of sound. As the speed of the aircraft increases, the waves are forced together, or compressed, because they cannot get out of the way of each other. Eventually they merge into a single shock wave, which travels at the speed of sound.
The shock, due to the quick “jump” from a low pressure / low temperature / supersonic airflow zone to a high pressure / high temperature / subsonic speed zone that is perceived by the human brain as a loud “bang”.
Here’s how NASA describes the phenomenon: “The shock wave forms a “cone” of pressurized or built-up air molecules, which move outward and rearward in all directions and extend all the way to the ground. As this cone spreads across the landscape along the flight path, it creates a continuous sonic boom along the full width of the cone’s base. The sharp release of pressure, after the buildup by the shock wave, is heard as the sonic boom. The change in air pressure associated with a sonic boom is only a few pounds per square foot — about the same pressure change experienced riding an elevator down two or three floors. It is the rate of change, the sudden changing of the pressure, which makes the sonic boom audible.”
Actually, the “sonic boom” has nothing to do with the sound barrier (and there’s no “barrier” at all either): it can be heard when the aircraft is ALREADY flying at supersonic speed not far from our ears.
Back to Oshkosh, the clip here below shows the high speed pass. Since you can hear the noise of the jet as it was approaching and then the quite unmistakeable sonic boom, it seems quite evident that Steve Kauzlarich, the author of the video, managed to film the F-16 as it accelerated through Mach 1.
“Aircraft traversing through the sound barrier create two sonic booms, one at the nose of the aircraft and one at the tail, but generally they are heard as one. The F-16 was very close, perhaps 400 feet from the camera, so there was no mistaking that there was two explosions and shock waves, especially in person. It sounded like two M-80 “barrel bombs” exploding a few feet in front of us,” Steve says in the video description on Youtube.
In fact, while some people on the ground may perceive the sound as a single sonic “boom,” many sonic booms are heard as distinct “double” booms. This is because all aircraft generate two cones, at the nose and the tail of the aircraft. Since they are usually similar in strength and the time interval between the two is little, they can (or cannot) be perceived as double booms.
Now, take a look at the following video. You can clearly watch the pressure wave hit her hair while she’s speaking. Pretty cool. The aircraft was definitely already supersonic, as you can’t hear it coming.
The strength of the pressure wave, sometimes, depending on several different factors, may rattle or break windows and create other damage on the ground. Fortunately, this wasn’t the case. | <urn:uuid:4161a3fe-6fb0-4676-832a-92bdb3f2aeac> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://getyourpilotslicense.org/listen-to-the-sonic-boom-generated-by-an-f-16-flying-supersonic-over-oshkosh/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571993.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814022847-20220814052847-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.960298 | 917 | 3.265625 | 3 |

In 2014, a dramatic fire destroyed Melbourne’s Lacrosse building. A similar blaze engulfed London’s Grenfell Tower just three years later, resulting in 72 deaths. These devastating fires have drawn attention to strata properties’ safety, specifically those built with external combustible cladding.
Since then, Deakin and Griffith universities’ report has revealed the prevalence of defects in strata properties beyond cladding concerns and highlighted the urgency of remediation.
To fulfil their duty of care and protect their financial investments, owners corporations should be aware of building materials used in their property, and the relevant legislative requirements associated with these.
This guide introduces various building products and materials and their associated risks, focusing on cladding use in New South Wales, Queensland Victoria. | <urn:uuid:e281b292-32b7-4048-862e-b3ac52961cd0> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://picagroup.com.au/article/community-living-guides/download-your-free-guide-to-understanding-common-building-materials/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572163.61/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815085006-20220815115006-00673.warc.gz | en | 0.905478 | 165 | 2.75 | 3 |
