NOAA increases reward for dolphin death info
The reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the person (s) responsible for killing a bottlenose dolphin in Orange Beach, Ala., with a hunting arrow has increased to $20,000, according to a NOAA press release. Several organizations contributed to this reward.
NOAA federal agents leading the investigation have received several tips but are still asking for others to step forward if they have information on this criminal act. Investigators are following up on every tip they receive. They also appreciate the very generous reward donations, and help from the media and the public in getting the word out.
Reward contributions came from the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, The Humane Society of the United States and The Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust, Alabama Gulf Coast Reef and Restoration Foundation, Coastal Alabama Business Chamber, Cobalt/Cosmos Restaurants, Reel Surprise Fishing Charters, Gulf Chrysler, and the Coastal Conservation Association.
This is the second bottlenose dolphin killed in recent weeks in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. A pregnant dolphin was shot and killed with a gun in Choctawhatchee Bay in Miramar Beach, Fla., just before Thanksgiving. NOAA agents are also asking for information on that case and the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society is offering a $2,500 reward.
Preliminary results suggest both dolphins died as a result of the shootings. The dolphin in Orange Beach died from secondary infection from the arrow wound and the one in Choctawhatchee Bay died of complications from the bullet being lodged in its lung.
NOAA is asking anyone with details on either incident to call our Office of Law Enforcement in Niceville, Fla., at 850-729-8628 or the NOAA Enforcement Hotline at 1-800-853-1964 as soon as possible. Tips may be left anonymously.
People can help prevent future harm to wild dolphins by not feeding or attempting to feed them. Dolphins fed by people learn to associate people with food, which puts dolphins and people in potentially harmful situations.
Harassing, harming, killing or feeding wild dolphins is prohibited under the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972. Violations can be prosecuted either civilly or criminally and are punishable by up to $100,000 in fines and up to one year in jail per violation.
To report a stranded, injured or sick dolphin, call 1-877-WHALE-HELP (1-877-942-5343).
NOAA's mission is to understand and predict changes in the Earth's environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and to conserve and manage our coastal and marine resources.

For five years we have been active in the Neveklov rectory and its surroundings. We offer activities for families and the general public, year-round education for children and summer day camps. We have grown from only four founding families to currently 90 members. As the number of members rises and the list of activities gets longer, the two rooms in the rectory we use right now are not enough. We benefit from the support of our members and others and we have managed a lot together. Therefore, we are endeavouring to create a quality environment for the whole ground floor of the rectory for the members of our association, parishioners and other interested parties.
We have managed to put together most of the funds needed for the reconstruction of the ground floor of the rectory which started in January 2021. We also have funds for most of the equipment necessary. However, we need to put together funds for other non-eligible expenses (e.g. the kitchen and its equipment fulfilling hygiene standards, inside windows and other extra works which are needed in a protected building and cannot be planned ahead).
The common room should look like this:

The unexpected loss for Jackson State came primarily because of the dominance of S.C. State's defense.
Coach Deion Sanders provides no excuses. Ever. The football team played poorly on Saturday, the coach thought the defense was just as bad. This led to a predictable Cricket Celebration Bowl game where South Carolina State defeated Jackson State 31-10.
South Carolina State was a team with a lot of heart and a good defense. But the Tigers were outmatched by Jackson State's offense, even if they did let up some opportunities early on. When the game got tight, the Bulldogs made too many mistakes to recover.
South Carolina State had a strong defensive showing on Saturday, turning a fumble and two interceptions into 21 points. The three touchdown drives for the Gamecocks started at Jackson State's 4-yard line, 12-yard line, and 16-yard line respectively. "We kind of used Jackson State's game plan all season against them," South Carolina State coach Oliver "Buddy" Pough said after the game.
Quarterback Shedeur Sanders had a great season so far until this past week. In his first seven games, he threw for 30 touchdowns and just six interceptions. Quarterbacks have to have a streak of good play to keep the momentum going – but that didn't happen for Sanders against South Carolina State as he passed for just 175 yards.
Deion Sanders summed up his thoughts on the game with South Carolina State. "South Carolina State kicked our butts in every way and every fashion," he said. "I feel like we were overconfident and overlooking them as if they were going to hand us the game. After all, they are 6-5."
"We were a little lackadaisical," said Deion Sanders. "We had that fire in the locker room before the game because we turn up, but there was just something missing, and when I looked in their eyes, something was missing."
In the days and week following his hiring, Deion Sanders declared "his staff would have 84 years of combined NFL experience, including his 14-year career." However, after announcing his coaching staff, it came to light that there was not quite enough experience for a total with 72 years.
Deion Sanders is a professional American football player and coach. He famously played for the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers before retiring from the NFL in 2006. As a college football coach, he has taken a different approach to the game than most coaches that we've seen as he wears gold chains and sunglasses on the sidelines.
His coaching style is more of an enthralling narrative as opposed to focusing on winning games. But what really matters is that he is making waves in the FCS world by landing No. 1 recruit Cam'ron Matthews at Jackson State University.
Sanders is a hard-nosed coach who is known for the high level of defense his teams play. His resume includes five NCAA Division I National Championships with three different schools. He will bring a defensive mindset to a team that has been starved for one in recent years. For a midmajor program, Sanders is a big name hire and a strong candidate to build on their recent success.

Rural healthcare in the spotlight during coalition townhall
Rural southwest Ontario hospitals, particularly those which have borne the brunt of staff shortages and rotating closures, were in the spotlight during a town hall hosted by Ontario Health Coalition.
During the Tuesday town hall, the Ontario Nurses Association (ONA) and Huron Perth Healthcare Alliance (HPHA) said provincial moves towards privatization could impact local healthcare services.
"In turn, the smaller hospitals have lost services as governments have forced downsizing," said Doug Allan with the Ontario Health Coalition (OHC). "Local services have been cut and closed and centralized to other larger hospitals. This is a very significant worry we have about small hospitals that the services will to the extent that they remain will be rationed and moved to larger centres."
Prior to the town hall meetings, the Ontario Hospital Association said in a media release discussions will surround urgent action to support local public hospitals instead of funneling millions into for-profit corporations to privatize public hospital services.
One local hospital in Seaforth has been seeing its emergency department face numerous closures through the year.
Seaforth nurse Tricia Delange spoke at the meeting and said the hospital only has two registered nurses in the ED at a time.
"Whenever a patient comes into the emergency department who needs a transfer, who's had a heart attack or a stroke, something major, that patient needs to go to a bigger centre that's obviously more specialized to that need," said Delange. "That nurse needs to go with the patient in the ambulance to that bigger centre. That leaves one nurse by themselves in the emergency department where another trauma can very easily and quickly come in.
"We don't have people on call. We go through our list of the ten nurses we have that work there and we can and we beg and we ask."
One member of the health coalition said lost services and staff shortages are two large contributing factors for many hospitals throughout rural areas, with Seaforth being one of the hardest hit.
The Clinton Public Hospital, which is also managed by the HPHA, has seen its own share of temporary closures this year to its emergency department. The hospital faced a prolonged closure starting in 2019 which lasted over a year.
The town hall was the latest in a series shining a spotlight on the issues local hospitals are facing in the province.
The next virtual town hall is set for Wednesday at 7 p.m. and will focus on the town of St. Marys, which has also dealt with a number of closures and staffing issues at its hospital.

TTL's sales and service staff would help Fluke become a leader in the Indian test and measurement market
US based Fluke Corporation, a global leader in portable electronic test and measurement (T&M) technology, has acquired Mumbai based TTL Technologies Pvt Ltd, which had represented Fluke in India since 2001 as its master distributor.
The acquisition, which involved an undisclosed sum, will benefit Fluke as now it can completely capitalise on TTL's many years of experience in the Indian T&M market, its national distribution network, its strong customer base, and accredited calibration labs. "These assets, when combined with Fluke's technological innovation, manufacturing excellence and world class business processes, will do wonders," shared Peter Van Den Broek, president, emerging markets, Fluke Corporation.
Fluke's T&M products are being used in the Indian transportation, defence and manufacturing industries. They are also used in the natural gas, power generation, transmission and distribution, railways, basic metals, pharmaceutical, automotive, capital goods and electronics R&D sectors, as well as by the major calibration labs.
"TTL has been a great partner and now, together, we will substantially increase our overall customer offerings. This agreement reinforces our commitment to our customers in India and positions us for rapid growth in an important market," said Peter Van Den Broek.
Reactions from TTL
TTL, which had an annual revenue of Rs 39 million in 2009-2010, will also benefit from the deal. "TTL's acquisition by Fluke is a huge step forward. We will utilise this new strength to widen and deepen our reach to customers across India, creating tremendous excitement and growth," said Joey Joseph, CEO and managing director, TTL Technologies, who has been a part of TTL right from its inception in 1982 and has been instrumental in the strategic planning and business development of TTL. "Customers can look forward to a higher level of access to Fluke technology and support," he added.
TTL's businesses and employees will be integrated into the Fluke organisation. The company confirmed that currently it has no plans for a change among employees or in the location of its branches and facility. "Our top priority is our customers and meeting their needs, and our goal is for the transition to be as seamless as possible," said Van Den Broek.
TTL started off as an import trading division within Aplab Ltd, a manufacturer of T&M instruments based out of Thane. The company was a pan-India distributor of measurement tools manufactured by Fluke, Ametek Programmable Power, Thermo Fisher Scientific, Gigatronics, Microfluidics and Voltech Instruments. Now, post acquisition, these operations will be undertaken by Fluke Corporation.
This has been Fluke's second acquisition in a month, as it has also taken over Martel Electronics Corporation, a US-based manufacturer of electronic test tools and OEM products.

'The Bridge' season 3: Does Diane Kruger – Demian Bichir series have shot at renewal?
Wednesday night marks the big season finale for "The Bridge," but you do have to wonder if this could also mark the series finale for a show that at one point felt like it could be one of FX's next big hits.
Let's do our best to set up the landscape right now for the show, starting with its own ratings. The numbers for season 2 have paled in comparison to what the show drew back in 2013. Around the midway point there were episodes literally drawing half of the total viewers of the first time around, even though we have seen the series close the gap somewhat the past couple of weeks.
Really, we see there being two major reasons why the show may be in trouble.
- FX renewed "Tyrant" and "The Americans," but they both performed slightly better as a whole. In addition, one of them is a show just starting to find itself, and the other is critically-acclaimed and frequently in awards discussions.
- Content-wise, the story on "The Bridge" this year has been over-complicated and muddled. We would have preferred something a little more simplified, and not were there were so many issues and storylines that the show was trying to juggle. Stories such as the ones with Charlotte and Stephen never seemed to have any real payoff.
The one thing that is helping "The Bridge"? That "Sons of Anarchy" and "Justified" are both ending, and FX may want to keep a few dramas around just in case all of their new ideas bomb completely. Disappointing ratings are in the end a whole lot better than woeful ones.
What do you want to see moving forward on "The Bridge" beyond this season? Let us know right now with a comment.

At my age, living in two worlds of digital and print, I lament one passing as I try and embrace another medium. There is an advantage to BOTH, but it's a world that is not allowing "both" very well anymore.
My wife and I were traveling through Des Moines, Iowa yesterday so we stopped at a Christian bookstore that was a good one. We have a few here in the Cities, but I'm generally not a fan of them. This one was more independent and had a decent variety of books.
At least they DID have a wide variety. While they are still there, the shelves are incredibly sparse. It's a struggle for them.
This morning, I see this post by Ben Witherington lamenting the passing of the bookstore as well.
I am using digital far more these days. I can carry so many more books around this way. But, I understand Witherington's lament as well:
Disembodied books have the same problems as disembodied education in general. It doesn't involve ethos, or real contact with actual other human beings in person. It doesn't involve incarnational presence. It doesn't involve a social dimension, say consulting your favorite owner of a book shop and building a friendship over the years. In short, it is a more gnostic approach to reading, learning, knowledge.
It's the same with anything we've done online. Online shopping, banking, networking… we've really removed a social dimension and we truly are not better for it.
It doesn't mean I'm going to go back to all print books. I have to shift and in the process try to add more meaning to what I am doing, and try to demand more of people in the process. It's a tough road, but one we have to travel in this fast-changing world.

OTTAWA—It's not about money — it's about Canada' future, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall said Thursday as he escalated his call for Ottawa to reject a foreign takeover of a giant potash company.
"It could be Canada's century but we're going to have to take some courageous decisions," he told the Star shortly after officially rejecting a $38.6 billion (U.S.) bid for PotashCorp of Saskatchewan by Australia's BHP Billiton Ltd.
Wall said allowing a foreign company to gain control of a vital natural resource like potash affects the long-term strategic interests of Canada.
"The world wants food security and energy security and we have the answers to those questions in Canada," he said.
But Canadians need to protect those resources, Wall commented.
Saskatoon-based PotashCorp is the world's largest producer of potash, a key fertilizer ingredient.
Wall, a right-of-centre ally of Stephen Harper, said he has spoken with the Prime Minister about the takeover and accepts Ottawa's word that there has been no decision yet on whether to allow it.
"This is very, very significant for Saskatchewan, and they (the federal Conservatives) have said they are going to listen to us and take it into consideration."
But he said Harper was wrong Wednesday when in an apparent attempt to play down the issue, the Prime Minister said it's only about an Australian-controlled company trying to buy an American-controlled corporation.
"It isn't true, of course," Wall said, adding that 49 per cent of Potash Corp.'s shares are held in Canada, with 38 per cent in the U.S. and the rest distributed around the world.
The federal government, which vets foreign acquisitions to see if they are of "net benefit" to this country, has until Nov. 3 to approve the takeover. Blocking it would run against the Conservatives' free-market creed but Wall's staunch opposition is complicating the decision for Harper, who is also under pressure to block the deal from federal Liberals and New Democrats.
Asked outside the Commons Thursday how the decision will be made, Industry Minister Tony Clement said, "I am neither a head waiter to the premier of Saskatchewan, nor am I butler to the president of BHP."
But he hinted that there may be room for BHP to sweeten its bid in response to Wall's fear that the province could lose $3 billion in tax revenue as a result of the buyout.
"Obviously we have noted the premier of Saskatchewan's conclusions," Clement told reporters. "We have also noted the bidder's positions on these issues and the positions of many other Canadians besides. And we will take all of that into consideration prior to making a determination."
His comments appeared to dovetail with comments by BHP chief executive officer Marius Kloppers, who said Thursday in London that the company remains hopeful that it can structure the deal to meet Saskatchewan's tax-loss concerns and convince Ottawa it would be of net benefit to Canada.
Wall said he's still looking at the financial wrinkles of a takeover by BHP. But he doesn't know how the Australian mining giant could address "what should be the real concern for all of us in this country — the strategic interest," Wall told the Star.
In an impassioned speech to a business audience in Regina Thursday, he declared: "We must say no to this hostile takeover. Canadian-led mining companies are in risk of becoming an endangered species."
But Canada's long-term stature is also at stake, he said.
"This takeover involves 25 to 30 per cent of the known reserves in the world of potash," Wall said. "This is not like any other takeover that we have contemplated in this country."
PotashCorp issued a statement welcoming Wall's "thorough and thoughtful" review of the takeover issue and advised shareholders to reject BHP's "unsolicited offer."

Yankees notes: Chasen Shreve hopes to rebound this season
On the rebound
It's hard for any Yankees reliever to sway attention away from The Big Three – Aroldis Chapman, Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances – but Chasen Shreve has been off the radar before. The lefty emerged from the shadows last spring to earn a fairly prominent bullpen role.
Shreve, 25, finds himself in the background again this spring, after a sour September dampened an otherwise solid season. "It's definitely the longest season I ever had," Shreve said of his 59 appearances last season (6-2, 3.09 ERA) with 64 strikeouts in 58 1/3 innings.
Through Sept. 5, Shreve had an ERA of 1.86. But in his final nine games, Shreve yielded nine runs on 16 hits – four of them homers – in just five innings. Shreve was left to wonder if fatigue played a factor in his September showing.
"Maybe. I honestly don't know. My arm didn't hurt [but] I could have been tired and not even known," said Shreve.
A former teammate of Bryce Harper's at Southern Nevada, Shreve has worked out with the reigning NL MVP in past off-seasons in Las Vegas, where Shreve resides. This winter, Shreve worked on more shoulder and rotator cuff strengthening.
"I had to earn [a job last spring]. This year, I'm the same way," Shreve said. "I'm not going to work any less hard because I think I've got a spot."
Right-hander Domingo German was diagnosed with a strained right flexor muscle and a bone bruise to his right elbow after an abbreviated bullpen session Friday.
Alex Rodriguez "looks strong" and is "probably a little further along than he was at this point last year," manager Joe Girardi said of the designated hitter.

This write-up initially appeared on Cannabis.web and has been reposted with permission.
Numerous weed consumers, new and stale inclusive, feel that tweaking their pot buzz is restricted to the strains they have on their racks. Even so, the temperature is a in the same way significant element.
Buying the very best temperature to vape weed is 1 of the most indistinct and questionable subjects in dry hashish vaping, nonetheless you can see precisely what temperature is most effective for accomplishing your perfect impacts. Really, there isn't a single temperature to vape weed that can be regarded as the best. The ideal temperature to vape your hashish is entirely reliant on what impacts you're exploring for, however, it wavers someplace in the variety of 320°F(160°C) and 446°F(230°C).
Picture by Itay Kabalo by means of Unsplash
Take into account temperature command as the way to open up regardless of what impacts a strain can present. (be it mild/delicate, moderate, or even extreme). A pressure that is large in CBD (non-inebriating, unwinding, from epileptic), for occasion, need to be warmed to the compound's edge of boiling in excess of 356°F assuming you're to acquire its rewards. Similarly, the loosening up terpene linalool isn't produced until eventually you strike 388°F. Temperature can also make a decision a strain's ability: increased temperatures frequently overstate impacts even though decrease temperatures offer you a a lot more delicate, smooth insight.
Modifying the temperature of your vaporizer can be likened to figuring out the authentic-time difference between delicate steam and extreme boiling. When using tobacco burns plant subject, vaporization gives a light heat to cannabis buds.
Adjusting the temperature up and down basically adjusts the top quality of your significant. This is the motive you should get a vaporizer that lets you to handle the temperature. This way, you have entire manage of your superior and intake of cannabis.
Great importance of Vaporizer Temperature
When some cannabinoids — compounds found in the pot that can furnish the consumer with various impacts — can endure a bigger temperature, terpenes, the medicinal balms of the plant which give it its flavor and odor, can't. In this way, vaping at a decrease temperature will give a much more fragrance-like flavor, when a greater temperature will supply additional fumes and will be a extra outstanding substantial.
Actuating these mixtures is in essence what furnishes the client with an come across, one that is getting progressively a lot more clear-cut to regulate, many thanks to innovation.
Herb vaporizers are concerned in heating bouquets just to the stage that trichomes start to dissolve, modifying the tacky fats from their powerful structure to vapor or fume steam.
Associated: 3 Dissimilarities Among Vaping Cannabis And Cigarette smoking It
Trichomes are the tear glands of the cannabis plant. These glands are on the outer layer of the plant material and are commonly moved in the feminine marijuana blossom. Trichomes are the place wherever the necessary restorative and psychoactive mixtures in the herb dwell.
Not only do hashish resins have cannabinoids like tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the legendary "high" chemical, but also terpenes. The hashish plant has 400 plus chemical compounds, and they all have a variety of boiling details and special qualities.
How Changing Vaporizer Temp Influences Your Significant
Changing your vaporizer temperature influences your substantial in a few of means. When set at temperatures 290°F to 330°F, the vaporizer is just at the point exactly where it begins to soften the trichomes mildly and then launch a vapor ( albeit rarely seen to the naked eye). This light steam offers you a minor truly feel of cannabinoid and terpenoid remedy.

At bigger temperatures up to 445°F, a vaporizer will melt trichomes, and also release heaps of THC, which includes other molecules. At this degree get a fairly elevated superior, and it will come with vapors quickly noticeable. At stages over 445°F, there is a danger of combustion, which means burning hashish at that temperature will burn up the plant.
Similar: How To Make Certain Your Vape Is Safe and sound
Boiling points of cannabinoids and terpenoids also have an effect on your large. Reduced temperatures could not categorical the impacts of selected cannabinoids and terpenoids. In the exact vein, larger temperatures tend to burn up off the compounds.
Uncover down below a record of some boiling details of some cannabis compounds.
- Limonene: 350.6°F
- B-caryophyllene: 246.2°F
- Linalool: 388.4°F
- Pinene: 312.8°F
- Myrcene: 332.6°F
Take note that the boiling points for raw cannabis (THC-A) and THC vary. THC-A begins boiling at a decreased temperature, but then, whole decarboxylation can come about at a larger temperature.
This is why large temp vaporizers give greater responses. Should really you want to keep it gentle, it is proposed you stay at a decreased temperature.

Reduced-Temperature 290-330°F
Lower-temperature vaporization brings about a milder, calm experience. At this temperature variety, the expertise will be a lot less sedative, and you'll most likely encounter much more pine and peppery flavors. CBD and THC will be revealed at temperature array 290-330°F, but you are not probably to have an impactful high. This is the best temperature for improved emphasis, improved temper, and for dealing with strain and stress.
Moderate Temperature 330-370°F
The temperature variety 330-370°F gives you a obvious psychoactive sense. This selection is mostly recommended for cannabis consumers with satisfactory tolerance. Terpenes and Cannabinoids are expressed at this assortment, and it is advised for people in search of a substantial that won't specifically have an affect on your ordinary things to do. This stage is the ideal for social gatherings.
Large Temperature 370-445°F
This temperature array is the point the place consumers working experience the optimum superior, sizeable agony relief, and sometimes, sedation. Strains high in THCV is suggested to be made use of at this temperature vary, owning boiling details higher than THC and CBD. The temperature selection 370-445 provides the great hashish substantial so desired by recreational consumers.
The previously mentioned temperature ranges really don't genuinely "make" the impacts they adjust them. Make sure to bear in mind that the constraints of your customization are established by whichever strain you're operating with. Recall that with expansions in temperatures, you can open up more basic mixtures. Be that as it could, go excessively sizzling and you may be obliterating a part of individuals delicate cannabinoids and terpenes.
Everybody has their inclination, and it's dependent on you to observe down your cherished temperature.

When did you join Twitter and why?
I joined three years ago. Everyone was talking about it, so I knew I was missing something and my curiosity led to my joining.
In what ways do you use Twitter?
I mainly use it to keep my followers updated on the day's most relevant sports news. I also like to share my opinions with them as well. My followers expect me to share my thoughts and I'm happy to do so.
Who is your favorite person to follow on Twitter?
Argentine tennis player Juan Ignacio Chela. His jokes always make me laugh. I have a preference for original people like Juan. There is a very thin line between being authentic and ridiculous on Twitter, but he definitely does it the right way.
How do you use Twitter on #Redes?
#Redes is all about social media. On #Redes, we immerse ourselves into social conversations about sports, music, pop culture and anything else fans are talking about. One of my favorite parts of the show is Twitter wars, when we talk about tweets from ESPN personalities that have sparked some serious debates.
What's it like preparing for a nationally televised live TV show like #Redes?
I always define it as a state of "stress," but the good stress! I'm a perfectionist and always make sure I'm prepared, but with #Redes, that dynamic changes because there is no predetermined script. The show is determined by the trending topics of the day.

Using a multi-electrode nerve-signal recording cuff and a method of signal processing described previously, activity in axons with different propagation velocities can be distinguished, and the relative amplitude of the small-fibre signals increased. This paper is, largely, an analysis of the selectivity and noise of this system though impedance measurements from an actual cuff are included. The signal processor includes narrow band-pass filters. It is shown that the selectivity and noise both increase with the centre frequencies of these filters. A convenient approach is to make the filter frequencies inversely related to the artificial time delays so that the filter 'Q's are approximately constant and the noise densities are equal for all velocity filters. Numerical calculations, using formulae for this system and for the conventional tripole, based on a fixed cuff size and tissue resistivity, find the number of action potentials per second that must pass through the cuff so that the signal power equals the noise power. For slow fibres (20 m/s), the rate is 14 times lower for the multi-electrode cuff than the tripole, a significant advantage for recording from these fibres.

Dolly shares her story in first autobiography "Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business"
In 1994, Dolly published her first book, an autobiography, "Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business" on the HarperCollins imprint. The book recounts her childhood growing up poor in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee and talks about her music, religion, marriage and many other aspects of her life like her opinions about plastic surgery and her larger-than-life persona.
Dolly's incredible personality was a big part of the promotional tour for the book.
"I love it that people can laugh at my expense,"
she says, her blue-green eyes widening for emphasis.
"I laugh at my expense. It's not like I have not left myself wide open for all this. This is part of who I am, part of who I want to be… Why would I get offended and upset for somebody to make jokes about the very thing that I laid right out there for them to make jokes about?"
She mentions her appearance on the "Late Show With David Letterman" and laughs at the Top-10 list he revealed, "Surprises in the Dolly Parton Autobiography. Number 10: At birth, doctor thought he was delivering triplets. Number 6: Went on world tour in early '70s with Dalai Lama in a show called 'A Couple of Dollys.' Number 1: Consulted on the Wonderbra project."
"Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business" reached the New York Times Bestseller list and stayed there for two months.

And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.

Some herbal products and supplements can cause side effects or interact with other medicines. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist before you try an alternative treatment for erectile dysfunction, especially if you're taking medications or you have a chronic health problem such as heart disease or diabetes.

You can currently get vardenafil in chewable form from BlueChew with monthly deliveries of four, eight, 15, or 30 tablets. A limited-time free trial is available exclusively for Innerbody readers that gets you four free tablets of vardenafil, so you can see how it works for you.
Before you conclude that brand-name Viagra is superior for that reason, though, consider how much more leeway sildenafil's strength gives you and your doctor to dial in the best dosage for you. You've got more control over it, and of course, the best dosage of any prescription medication will be the smallest dosage that produces the desired effects. Smaller dosage means less cost to you and less risk of side effects. And sildenafil is already much cheaper than Viagra.
Another second-line therapy is the use of alprostadil, either intracavernosal or intraurethral. Two products are available for direct injection, Caverject (Pfizer) or Edex (Actient). A small needle is used to inject the medication into the lateral aspect of the penis through a small-gauge needle.
L-arginine supplementation is possibly unsafe for men with blood pressure problems or men who have had a heart attack, allergies, or asthma.

Even if you're wary of trying a full-blown male sex toy, don't be intimidated by small devices that are specifically designed to prevent erectile dysfunction. There are erection rings - little plastic devices that fit snugly at the base of the penis - that help men stay firm. You can't keep them on for long, but they may be worth trying.
Did you know that certain medical condition may be responsible for ED? Some causes of impotence are medically treatable and reversible. Learn more about what can be done about erectile dysfunction with the Impotence Quiz.
When you're living with erectile dysfunction (ED), you'll consider doing just about anything to get your sex life back on track. Eating roots like ginseng -- fine. Drinking special juices like pomegranate -- tasty. Even becoming a human pin-cushion for a treatment like acupuncture -- bring it on.

But erectile dysfunction is also caused by mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, stress, and trouble with relationships. That's why visiting a medical doctor for erectile dysfunction treatment is so valuable.
Patients can find ED to be a very difficult subject and outright, initial declaration of their problem a huge barrier to diagnosis and treatment (and this might also depend on the gender of the doctor or the patient's relationship with them).2
The patient considering prosthesis implantation, should be aware of the different types of prosthesis, risks of infection and erosion, mechanical failure and resulting re-operations, differences from the normal flaccid and erect penis including the possibility of penile shortening, and the potential reduction in the effectiveness of other therapies if the device is subsequently removed.

By definition, it seems we're riding the perfect storm after the start of the pandemic last year, and now, as the aftermath is continuing in 2021, we're faced with all types of shortages—a shortage of products and on top of that a shortage of labor.
To top it off we're hearing that this is not going to be getting better anytime soon. How has it affected your business? Almost all of the contractors I speak with around the country are saying they are still booked out months in advance, so how is everyone managing shortages of products and labor?
I heard one instance of an installer scheduling a glue-down wood installation, and when they went to pick up the adhesive, they were told the adhesive was six weeks out—this was after the end user had already pre-ordered all the materials. The installer had to go to several local distributors to try and find adhesive just for this one installation.
Where our company is also involved on the building side of the industry, we're having to deal with delays on several of our projects due to availability of products. One project took two months waiting for door hardware. Another project had a delay of three months for a fireplace insert. The delays seem to be a point of discussion when speaking with anyone selling and installing products these days. So with delays in products come the delays in finishing up jobs and tying up payments for projects.
Flooring and supplies are being held up at ports around the country and sitting in container ships in the harbor for weeks, waiting to be unloaded. With that, are there unseen factors that may affect performance of products? Keep in mind shipping containers are steel and unless a premium price is paid for shipping, they are not waterproof. Steel containers, floating on saltwater, in a humid environment along with heat…hmm…
It's always recommended to check moisture content of wood flooring whether it's a solid or engineered product prior to installation, and with products sitting on the water longer than in past times, now would be a good time to invest in a moisture meter and start documenting moisture readings. If you're already doing this, kudos to you.Taking things like that into consideration is just one of several things you should be doing in your business these days, as we continue to adjust to the times. Be sure you're also planning ahead as much as you can, letting your clients know that delays are to be expected. And as always, just do the best you can.

During the early stages of my career as an iOS developer, I began blogging on Wordpress and later on Tumblr. Eventually, despite being overwhelmed (and frankly discouraged) by the number of tools and technologies available in web development, I built a dev blog for myself using Gatsby.
Why Gatsby?
To be honest, I chose it simply because it was popular at the time. I noticed a number of developers I follow on Twitter discussing it. And Gatsby's documentation was actually quite convincing and easier to follow. As a mobile developer, getting exposure to other platforms such as web was my main objective. So, without much thought, I built a blog that I was happy with.
Why Migrate to Next.js?
I recently came across this blog post about Migrating from Gatsby, which sparked my curiosity in the technical advantages and similarities.
If you haven't already noticed, my blog and websites are two separate projects. I wanted the blog to be primarily about content publishing, while my creative ideas would be expressed on the portfolio website. In fact, both are like playgrounds for experiments and fun. Since I have a weekend for myself, why not try migrating to Next.js and see how it goes?
Nextjs appears to have a much larger developer community, and it also claims to be the most developer-friendly react framework for building production apps. So, this migration idea should be an excellent way for me to become acquainted.
My goal here is not to make any visual or content changes. And I certainly don't want to jeopardise current SEO rankings. To be honest, I'm not sure about replacing the existing blog right away unless I can replicate all of the features within the timeframe available.
Anyway, let's dive in and experiment for the sheer joy of learning something new.
First Roadblock
Although I appreciate the Migrating from Gatsby documentation, it led to more new browser tabs and little direction for what I was trying to achieve.
Instead, I decided to start with a clean slate and simply copy over content from the existing Gatsby project as needed.
Let's try the preferred method for launching a new Nextjs project:
npx create-next-app ajith_blog_v2 --use-npm
I can verify that the basic setup was successfully generated by running 'npm run dev' and then visiting http://localhost:3000/.
The Stack
This blog would be a Next.js application.
Blog posts are markdown files, and I'll parse them using gray-matter. Of course, I'd like to add custom React components in the future, and I'm considering MDX for that, but for now, I'm content with just Markdown.
This should allow me to choose static site generation, which means that all of the blog posts will be built ahead of time when the site is generated.
When it comes to styling, I plan to keep things simple and avoid using any cosmetic libraries.
I've been hosting the blog on Netlify, and because this repository will also be open-sourced on Github, similar to the Gatsby version, Netlify's new pricing strategy will most likely have no effect.
Step 1: Data Fetching
The blog posts are simply Markdown files with associated images stored in the same directory. We will copy over all of the files from
content/posts while keeping the same directory name and structure.
I make use of 'frontmatter' on my blog. Using the Markdown add-on frontmatter, we can define key-value pairs at the beginning of the document.
This is how the post looks:
title: "How to setup my mac for development"
date: "2022-07-04T00:00:00.000Z"
draft: false
path: "/set-up-dev-env-on-macOS"
category: "Guide"
tag: "Developer Guide"
src: "./blog_cover.png"
alt: "Blog Cover Image"
excerpt: "I got a new Macbook and I'm about to set it up for work. As developers, we have all been there. Oftentimes, when we switch to new jobs. And, this is my quick step-by-step guide to setup a mac for development."
(Actual blog content goes here...)
Gatsby queries local data, remote data, or site configuration information using GraphQL. For reading and handling markdown files, Gatsby offered plugins. However, Nextjs allows users to read from the file system using the native Node.js 'fs' package rather than abstracting it to a plugin.
And to parse content from a loaded markdown file, install the 'gray-matter' library.
npm install --save gray-matter
Now we're going to make a file called
lib/posts.js that will load and parse all of the blog post markdown files:
// src/lib/posts.js
import matter from 'gray-matter'
import { parseISO, format } from 'date-fns'
import fs from 'fs'
import { join } from 'path'
const postsDirectory = join(process.cwd(), 'content', 'posts')
export function getAllPosts() {
const slugs = fs.readdirSync(postsDirectory)
const allPosts = slugs
.map((slug) => getPostBySlug(slug))
.sort((post1, post2) =>
new Date(post1.frontmatter.date) > new Date(post2.frontmatter.date) ? -1 : 1
return allPosts
export function getPostBySlug(slug) {
let dirPath = join(postsDirectory, slug)
const fullPath = join(dirPath, `index.md`)
const fileContents = fs.readFileSync(fullPath, 'utf8')
const { data, content } = matter(fileContents)
const date = format(parseISO(data.date), 'MMMM dd, yyyy')
return { slug: slug, frontmatter: { ...data, date }, content }
Each blog post markdown file is named 'index.md' and is stored in a separate directory for each post, and these directory names are used as 'slugs.'
Step 2: Landing Page
Now that our data has been baked and is ready to serve, let's build a landing page with blog post indexes.
import { getAllPosts } from "../lib/posts";
import Layout from "../components/layout/layout"
import Feed from "../components/feed/feed"
export default function Home({ allPosts }) {
if (!allPosts || !allPosts.length) return
return (
<Feed posts={allPosts} />
export async function getStaticProps() {
const allPosts = getAllPosts()
return {
props: {
The starting point is 'src/pages/index.js', which I've modified using the 'Layout' and 'Feed' components.
Before we get into the 'Feed' component, let's take a look at Next's getStaticProps. Unlike graphQL queries in Gatsby, we export 'getStaticProps' / 'getStaticPaths' within the page to generate a static page. At build time, Nextjs will pre-render this page using the 'allPosts' props returned by 'getStaticProps'.
This props is then received by the 'Feed' component, which displays it in a neat list of blog posts.
// src/components/feed/feed.js
import styles from "./feed.module.scss"
import Link from 'next/link'
const Feed = ({ posts }) => {
return (

{ posts.map(post => {
const { timeToRead, frontmatter } = post
return (

<Link className={styles.post_title_link} href={frontmatter.path}>

<time>{frontmatter.date}</time> {` · `} {frontmatter.tag} {` · `} {timeToRead} min read

{frontmatter.excerpt}

export default Feed
Other than a minor update to Links, I didn't have to make many changes here.
Step 3: Styling
With Gatsby, global CSS imports are included in
gatsby-browser.js. When migrating to Next, I had to import it into the
_app.js file and update the relative path for Sass files as needed.
I moved static content such as images and custom font files from Gatsby's
static directory to
Next threw syntax errors for global CSS selectors when they were present in CSS modules; I had to move them to _base.scss.
Step 4: Render a blog post
Gatsby generates routes using
createPages API inside
gatsby-node.js for each blog post, then have a template file at
src/templates/post-template.js. To achieve the same effect, we can use Dynamic Routes within
pages in Next.
First, let's create a
[slug].js file inside
pages directory.
// src/pages/[slug].js
import { getAllPosts, getPostBySlug } from "../lib/posts";
import Layout from "../components/layout/layout"
import PostMeta from "../components/post-meta/post-meta"
import PostContent from "../components/post-content/post-content"
import BuyMeCoffee from "../components/buymecoffee/buymecoffee"
const Post = ({ content, frontmatter }) => {
return (
<PostMeta frontmatter={frontmatter} />
<PostContent content={content} />
<BuyMeCoffee />
export default Post
export async function getStaticProps({ params }) {
const { content, frontmatter } = getPostBySlug(params.slug);
return {
props: {
export async function getStaticPaths() {
const allPosts = getAllPosts();
// create paths with `slug` param
const paths = allPosts.map((post) => {
return {
params: {
slug: post.slug,
return {
paths: paths,
fallback: false,
There you have it!
Note: I have made sure to match the path of existing links for each post so that I don't loose any SEO.
You are probably familiar with
getStaticProps from our landing page implementation. But the magic happens in
To achieve dynamic routes, I must define a path for each blog post so that all pages are generated during the build time. These paths are then used to replace the 'slug' parameter in the [slug].js filename. Finally, we use the path to get the content of the markdown file.
To see the actual markdown content rendered in html, let's finish the 'PostContent' component using the react-markdown package.
// src/components/post-content/post-content.js
import styles from "./post-content.module.scss"
import ReactMarkdown from "react-markdown";
const PostContent = ({ content }) => {
return (

export default PostContent
Next, highlight code syntax and load images.
Code Syntax highlighting
I previously used prismjs, and this time let me go with suggested approach from react-markdown.
Create a new file under components directory for
CodeHighlighter, and this is how it will look in the end.
// src/components/code-highlighter/code-highlighter.js
import { Prism as SyntaxHighlighter } from "react-syntax-highlighter"
import { nightOwl } from 'react-syntax-highlighter/dist/cjs/styles/prism';
const CodeHighlighter = ({node, inline, className, children, ...props}) => {
const match = /language-(\w+)/.exec(className || '')
return !inline && match ? (
{String(children).replace(/\n$/, '')}
) : (

export default CodeHighlighter
For code blocks, I prefer dark themes, and I've chosen the 'nightOwl' theme for my blog.
Now it's time to integrate the CodeHighlighter component, go ahead and change the
import CodeHighlighter from "../code-highlighter/code-highlighter"
const PostContent = ({ content }) => {
return (

code: ({ ...props }) => <CodeHighlighter {...props} />,
export default PostContent
Chef's kiss!
Step 5: Loading Images
I'm beginning to understand how Gatsby and Next.js vary from each other. The plugins in Gatsby did most of the heavy lifting, but working with Next.js feels highly manual. I like it!
For loading images in our blog posts, we use the built-in
next/image component and Automatic Image Optimization. We are in the world of react, let's build a component for that!
import NextImage from 'next/image'
const ImageLoader = ({ src, ...props }) => {
return (
export default ImageLoader
Then, integrate the component in
PostContent by modifying it as shown below.
import styles from "./post-content.module.scss"
import ReactMarkdown from "react-markdown"
import CodeHighlighter from "../code-highlighter/code-highlighter"
import ImageLoader from "../image-loader/image-loader"
const PostContent = ({ content }) => {
return (

code: ({ ...props }) => <CodeHighlighter {...props} />,
img: ({ ...props }) => <ImageLoader {...props} />,
export default PostContent
Step 6: Site Configuration
Gatsby exposed the site configuration through the GraphQL API however,
// config.js
"use strict"
const Config = {
url: "https://ajith.blog",
pathPrefix: "/",
title: "Ajith's Blog",
description: "I build apps and occasionally blog about my observations and frustrations from my work here. Mostly about Swift, Xcode, and iOS development, but also about other interesting topics.",
subtitle: "I occasionally blog here. Mostly about Swift, Xcode, and iOS development, but also about other interesting topics.",
copyright: "Designed & developed by Ajith Renjala",
favicon: "public/images/logo-icon.png",
iconImage: "logo-icon.png",
disqusShortname: "ajithrnayak",
postsPerPage: 10,
googleAnalyticsId: "UA-XXXXX-3",
website: "https://ajith.xyz",
sourceCode: "http://github.com/ajithrnayak/ajith_blog",
author: {
name: "Ajith Renjala",
bio: "Swift/Objective-C developer since iOS 6.",
social: {
twitter: `@ajthrnayak`,
export default Config
With Next.js, I can import this file anywhere without having to use GraphQL to access metadata.
import TitleAndCaption from "../title-and-caption/title-and-caption"
import styles from "./header.module.scss"
import siteMetadata from '../../../config'
const Header = () => {
return (

<TitleAndCaption data={siteMetadata} />
export default Header
I'm glad I chose Gatsby because it was so simple to build something at the time. However, the developer in me thoroughly enjoyed Next.js's challenges. It felt like I had complete control over the implementation.
I'd like to replicate more features, such as the dark mode theme, search engine optimization, pagination and more, but I'm happy with the outcome of my experiment so far. Maybe leave the complete migration to another day.
Here's a link to a Github repo where you can do more digging.
