Cheap Oil and the Climate
Air Date: Week of March 13, 2020

Amid the turmoil of the novel corona virus pandemic, oil prices recently had the largest one-day plunge since 1991, with major implications for the shale industry and workers, the climate and national security. Lorne Stockman, senior analyst at Oil Change International, joins Host Steve Curwood to discuss how a Green New Deal framework with clean energy could reduce the impact of the boom-bust oil price cycle.
CURWOOD: From PRX and the Jennifer and Ted Stanley Studios at the University of Massachusetts Boston, this is Living on Earth. I’m Steve Curwood.
Amid all the turmoil related to the novel corona virus pandemic, the price of oil has crashed from over 50 dollars a barrel in the last week of February down to around 30 dollars most recently. And this has profound implications for the environment, US national security and the economy. The US is now the world’s biggest producer of oil, thanks to hydraulic fracturing or fracking from oil shale, but it’s hard for fracking companies to make money under 50 dollars a barrel. So, a wave of bankruptcies and layoffs for the US fracking industry seems likely, and America’s strategic freedom from foreign oil could be in jeopardy as well. But Saudi Arabia and Russia can afford to pump oil for less. And now by having a price war they can block US competition and get their own reserves out of the ground, ahead of an expected wave of rules and carbon taxes to protect a livable climate. In the meantime, cheap oil also discourages the transition to renewables. For more we turn to Lorne Stockman, a senior research analyst at Oil Change International. Welcome back to Living on Earth Lorne!
STOCKMAN: Thank you. It's good to be here.
CURWOOD: So your expertise in part is looking at the shale petroleum extraction, fracking, it's often called here. How do low oil prices affect the continued shale extraction here in the US?
STOCKMAN: Well, obviously they're not great for shale operators' profitability and the shale sector has been going through relatively hard times in the last few months as the growth in oil demand has been slowing down. But with the crash that's just happened, it does put a lot of shale operators into the red, and the current oil price is generally below the break even oil price needed for them to drill new wells and bring new production online.
CURWOOD: With these low oil prices, who are the winners and who are the losers, keeping the US shale oil extraction in mind.
STOCKMAN: Generally speaking, what they call the independents, you know, the American oil producing companies that are primarily focused on just producing oil in the United States and they're not integrated, like the majors, they don't own refineries, etc. Those companies are going to be hurting pretty bad from this. And there's no doubt we're going to see companies go on to file for bankruptcy. But it remains to be seen whether this is really sort of the end of growth in the shale patch, which some people are saying. Because, you know, what generally happens is we see a certain amount of consolidation, we see the assets of bankrupt companies get sold cheaply and bought up by the better capitalized companies. And we see the resources sort of being concentrated in fewer hands.
CURWOOD: Sounds like you're forecasting a lot of turmoil then in the fracking business here in the United States, trouble for the companies. What about the people who work for these fracking companies?
STOCKMAN: Right? I mean, they're the real losers here. And you know, we're going to see layoffs. We're going to see You know everything from truck drivers to the roughnecks at well pads, drilling sites all across the board in the shale producing regions, whether that's Texas, New Mexico, North Dakota, there are going to be job losses. We're seeing calls from the industry for some kind of bailout from the Trump administration. And it remains to be seen what would happen there, but you know, I would say we need to see support for the workers over the shareholders of these companies.
CURWOOD: Now, how might this drop in the oil price effect the transition to clean energy here in the United States and worldwide?
STOCKMAN: The price of oil being low, as low as it is today, is obviously bad for the transition to clean energy because those polluting fossil fuels, oil and gas, are cheaper today than they were last year. And that constitutes competition for clean energy technologies that we're trying to transition to. I think how governments could take this opportunity to accelerate a clean energy transition is by following the kind of policies that are being recommended in the Green New Deal, as we see in Europe, or what's been proposed in the United States. And that comes back, you know, that particularly comes back to the workers. We should be supporting those workers over the oil corporations and supporting their transition to cleaner sectors of the economy and new sectors of the economy.
CURWOOD: Talk to me about the impact of this huge drop in the price of oil in the short term versus the long term.
STOCKMAN: So you know, in the short term, there's going to be layoffs, there's going to be less drilling, there's going to be less activity. But the direct impact of that slowdown is in fact, potentially an easing of the supply glut that's been caused by both U.S. shale drilling and Saudi Arabia and Russia's action and consequent rise in oil prices, which then can trigger more drilling. Of course, by then there may be less players in the market. So, you know longer term, unless we see concerted effort to transition away from these polluting sources, we could, you know, be back into the boom part of the boom bust cycle within a year or more depending on what happens externally with the virus and global demand.
CURWOOD: What's the impact of the oil and gas fracking industry on the environment?
STOCKMAN: Well, many and varied. I mean, you know, the local impacts are extreme. I was in the Permian Basin in Texas, New Mexico, which is, you know, the hottest shale play in recent years, in November of last year, and you wouldn't believe what you see as you drive around there. We saw oil wells on fire. We saw gas flares everywhere. We see, you know, a landscape completely littered with oil rigs and pipelines and construction equipment, and roads completely choked up with heavy truck traffic. But that's locally. Globally, we've seen the U.S. literally pushing oil and gas into global markets and crashing the price of both of those commodities globally. And that's making the transition to clean energy much more difficult globally. It's very difficult to transition away from something, the production of which is continuing to grow and the price of which is constantly coming down.
CURWOOD: So what do you think it would take to disrupt the U.S. fracking industry?
STOCKMAN: Eventually, we're going to come to grips with the climate crisis, right, and we have this choice of either continuing to dig the hole deeper and continuing to drill for more oil and gas, in which case, you know, when climate policy kicks in and demand drops, we have this economic crisis. Or we have this choice of managing that decline and implementing the kinds of policies that were that we've seen proposed in the Green New Deal. You know, you can look at what's happening today, we see producers battling for market share. That's what's going on. Right. And we're seeing the higher cost producers take a hit as the lower cost producers battle for market share. That's a window on what will happen again, in the future, if we don't manage the decline of oil and gas in this country.
CURWOOD: How does this drop in the price of oil and the impact on the fracking, the shale oil business, affect the worldview of many in this country about the strategic need for oil reserves? In other words, how does this fit into the discussion on national security?
STOCKMAN: Well, that's a very interesting question. I mean, on the whole, the U.S. has been using the oil boom as a sort of weapon, if you like, to decrease reliance on other oil exporters, and that's been seen as a positive thing for national security. Now, of course, in this situation, we start to see how vulnerable the U.S. economy is to being so dependent on U.S. oil and gas production and exports. In other words, you know, simply by producing more oil and not actually reducing our dependence on using oil, that national security benefit is blunted. And so now we're going to see economic impact, particularly in those states, and you know, the U.S. has a more diversified economy than other big oil producers, but still, in those states where the oil and gas is produced North Dakota, New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, etc. Pennsylvania. These impacts, economic impacts, will be very real and this growing dependence on oil and gas money will possibly now be seen as a threat to economic security. I very much see this as a preview of to what might happen in a world actually grappling with the climate crisis and doing something about it. And I think that is, you know, part of what's informing what Saudi Arabia and Russia and other OPEC producers are doing today. They see that there's way more supply of oil and gas in the world than demand can soak up. They see demand growth slowing. They see countries in Europe and elsewhere actually setting deadlines on when they will stop selling vehicles using gasoline and diesel. And the pressure is on. So you know, I think that does play a part in informing the move that's been made by these players. And I think there'll be more to come as things unfold in the coming decade.
CURWOOD: Lorne Stockman is a senior research analyst at Oil Change International. Lorne, thanks so much for taking the time with us today.
STOCKMAN: Thank you very much.

Before you can play poker online for real money, you need to register with a poker website. These websites are regulated to ensure the safety of client funds. Many require additional documentation to verify identity. This may include an ID or a utility bill. They need to check that the name and address on the bill matches those on file on the website. If you meet these requirements, you can play poker online for real money.
Online poker is governed by different laws from brick and mortar poker. In the United States, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) was signed into law by President Bush in 2006. It is unclear whether or not this law will be changed in the future. In many other countries, however, online asikqq is completely legal and well-regulated, including the Caribbean Sea countries and the United Kingdom.
In addition to using a poker training site, online poker players can view videos of famous poker players to gain insight into their strategies. These resources may be expensive, so beginners should stick to free resources to improve their skills. However, if you’re serious about learning how to play poker, you can upgrade to a premium video database.
Another way to play online poker safely is by playing under an anonymous user name. This will prevent other players from tracking you and identifying your identity. The last thing you want is for your opponents to be able to track you. Thankfully, Ignition Poker’s Anonymous Tables feature allows you to play anonymously. This helps protect newer players from the shark-infested waters.
Another benefit of playing online is the lower overhead costs associated with online poker venues. Since the cost of adding another table is significantly lower, online venues can afford to keep overhead costs low. Plus, they can offer cheaper stakes to attract new players and less wealthy clients. In addition to this, online poker venues often offer free poker tournaments to help attract new players.
Online poker is a growing trend in America, and states are starting to embrace the trend. States that do not have legal online poker sites are unlikely to have legal online sites in the near future. For example, Connecticut is one of the states that has not fully legalized online poker. A few other states have already legalized online poker.
Online poker in Connecticut is in its early stages, but all the operators are optimistic about the future. The state has allowed two online poker sites to open within the state, including Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. However, the law requires each of the two casinos to partner with only one online gambling site. It also prevents future poker rooms from operating independently of an online casino. | <urn:uuid:dd3495a6-58f3-49d9-83e0-43409c83cf2f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lolrepair.com/how-to-play-online-poker-for-real-money/ | 2023-10-04T20:02:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.962161 | 533 |
Are you Focused on Living? Chester Congdon was. You see Chester lived during the mid 1800’s. He was a self-educated attorney and a very successful businessman. His business was mining and lumber in northern Minnesota. Right after the turn of the century Chester decided to build his dream home just north of Duluth right on the shores of Lake Superior with his wife and six children. His home was completed in 1908, but there was one problem. Chester was only able to live in his dream home a few short years before he died.
It doesn’t seem fair does it, that a man could work so hard his whole life and then just when it seems he has it all, it’s all taken away. Today this happens to people who are the victims of disease, natural disaster, corporate scandal – circumstances beyond their control can rob them of everything they’ve worked for. It doesn’t seem fair, does it? We’ll get back to this point in a second.
As the generations continued on, one of the heirs understood the danger the fortune posed to her children. She didn’t want to give the estate to her descendants so she willed the estate to the University of Minnesota. The last remaining Congdon child was murdered by her two children before she could give all of her possessions away. It can turn into a soap opera, but the point is, don’t play the fool and only leave your descendants material possessions.
God will take away all your money, your friends and family for a few years, and all your possessions, but he gives you eternal life, in eternal bliss. And what’s really not fair is how God accomplished this. It’s not fair that God looks at my life of sin and only sees my Savior’s perfection. It’s not fair that the punishment I deserved, was given to Jesus as he hung on the cross. Is it fair that there is no sin is so great that my God will never take me back? I am thankful that my God is not fair, because in Jesus I am not a fool. God makes me wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. That is the only way to be truly Focused on Living.

He Lives to Rule All Things for His Church is a great Ascension theme. It doesn’t talk about how he physically ascended into heaven or how he will return in judgment on the Last Day, but it’s still a good Ascension Sunday theme. You see Ascension is the final of the big three festivals of the Christian church. Christmas – the birth of our Savior has always been a big deal. Easter – the recent celebration of Jesus’ resurrection from the dead has always been high on the list. And the third really big festival that the church has always celebrated is… Ascension. The problem is that the 40th day after Easter Sunday every year always falls on a Thursday. The rest of society isn’t on board with Ascension like they are with Christmas. So this third great festival of the church year kind of gets forgotten.
I want to jump to the discussion in out sermon about Jesus’ descent into hell from out 1 Peter 3 sermon text.
He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit, 19 After being made alive, he went and made proclamation to the imprisoned spirits– 20 to those who were disobedient long ago when God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built. This verses places Jesus descent into hell – that we often confess in the creed – he descended into hell – that happened after Jesus resurrection. Even though it says that he preached to them. Don’t think Jesus was giving the damned a second chance.
Think of Jesus doing the Lambeau Leap in the wrong stadium. He is rubbing it in their faces. I won. It’s over. Why did Peter pick Noah? He mentions Noah in the previous chapter as an object of persecution – I’m sure a few people pointed and laughed as he built a big barge in the back yard. Peter is about to use Noah’s rescue as an illustration of Baptism. Before we leave this verse, why don’t we need to be afraid of the final judgment? He Lives to Rule. On the Last Day who’s the one who will judge you? Jesus. Satan lost; you belong to God.

'I will send word to Mathi Stouthand and Gailthin in Gondamon of Avorthal's safe return and to warn their masters. The Free Peoples of Ered Luin must unite if they are to drive Skorgrím and his goblin allies from this land.
'While Lord Dwalin and Master Dorongúr assemble their forces, I have an urgent task for you, <name>. The goblins have mustered in Rath Teraig, and if we are to have any hope of reaching Skorgrím, we must thin their ranks.
'Journey to the outskirts of Rath Teraig, the valley south of Gondamon, and speak with the dwarf there, Ingo. He will have more instructions for you. Aid him and Dwalin and Doronogúr may have a greater chance for victory.'
With the release of Avorthal, the threat of war between the Dwarves of Gondamon and the Elves of Duillond has been averted, but the dangers posed to both kindreds remain, embodied by Skorgrím's Dourhands and the goblin-army they have raised.
Make your way along the road toward Gondamon and turn south toward the valley of Rath Teraig. Speak with Ingólfr the dwarf at the barricade there.
Langlas directed you to speak with the dwarf Ingólfr at the outskirts of the valley of Rath Teraig.
The goblins are mustering in Rath Teraig, the valley south of Gondamon.
Langlas has sent word to Mathi Stouthand and Gailthin to begin preparations for an assault on Skorgrím's goblin-army in Rath Teraig. As well, he instructed you to begin thinning the enemy forces there.

Wisdom teeth … the bane of every teenager’s existence. The long-dreaded wisdom tooth removal has become a rite of passage for our younger population. Due to changes within the human jaw and mouth structure, it is difficult for wisdom teeth to emerge as healthy additions to a pearly white smile. Wisdom teeth can easily become infected because of limited space within the mouth. If an infection occurs, it is essential to see your dentist for treatment options to avoid further complications.
Table of Contents
What are Wisdom Teeth?
Wisdom teeth, or third molars, are the last teeth to grow within an adult’s mouth. Generally emerging between 17 and 25, these teeth are often removed because of limited space within the mouth. Lack of space can cause problems as wisdom teeth attempt to squeeze between tooth and gum. Wisdom teeth may force their way in at odd angles to fit into the small space, making cleaning difficult and increasing the risk of infection. In addition, wisdom teeth can damage adjacent teeth by pushing against them or making it more difficult for orthodontic treatment. It is for these reasons that dentists often remove wisdom teeth.
Types of Wisdom Teeth Infections
There are many types of infections that can occur within a wisdom tooth. Some are minor, while others are more severe or recurring. Examples of mild infections are cavities or infections after a wisdom tooth extraction.
However, more severe infections may spread throughout the mouth and become recurrent. An impacted wisdom tooth infection occurs when the wisdom tooth has difficulties emerging from the gum line. A partially erupted wisdom tooth or operculum causes infection as it offers a place for bacteria to thrive.
Minor Wisdom Tooth Infection
Cavities can lead to a form of minor wisdom tooth infection. Wisdom teeth are located in the back of the mouth and are often squished tightly between other teeth. Because wisdom teeth are hard to reach with a toothbrush or floss, they have a high risk of developing cavities or experiencing decay.
Another minor cause of wisdom tooth infection is tooth extractions. When not properly cared for, an infection can easily develop in an empty tooth cavity. According to a 2014 retrospective study, 8.4% of people experienced minor complications such as infection, bleeding, or dry socket after tooth removal.
Severe or Recurrent Infections
Spreading through the mouth, jaw, or upper respiratory tract, a wisdom tooth infection may become severe or recurrent. Sometimes, wisdom teeth infections may even travel into the bloodstream, resulting in a severe health complication known as sepsis. As a result, many dentists remove wisdom teeth at the first sign of infection or complication to prevent recurrent infections.
Are Wisdom Teeth Infections Common?
Because of their location in the back of the mouth, infected wisdom teeth are not uncommon. Additionally, impacted wisdom teeth make it easy for food and bacteria to become trapped. Without the ability to properly clean a wisdom tooth or the gum surrounding it, the area is prone to infection.
Symptoms of a Wisdom Tooth Infection
One of the first symptoms of an infected wisdom tooth is pain around the wisdom tooth or within the jaw. If left untreated, the pain may spread to the throat, neck, and throughout the jaw. Other symptoms include a sore throat and swollen lymph glands just under the jaw. Difficulty eating due to swelling in your face or jaw is another telling sign of infection. Lastly, some infected wisdom teeth cause a bad taste or smell in the mouth because of bacteria. Seek tooth dental work immediately if you experience any of these symptoms to prevent further complications.
Why Do Wisdom Tooth Infections Occur?
Simply put, infected wisdom teeth occur because they are difficult to keep clean. There is a space between your wisdom teeth and the back of your mouth, which is easily missed when brushing and flossing. As a result, food and bacteria become trapped between the tooth and gums, thus causing infection.
You Might Be Dealing With an Impacted Wisdom Tooth
An infected wisdom tooth can occur because of wisdom tooth impaction. An impacted wisdom tooth infection happens when the jaw is not large enough to allow the wisdom tooth to erupt properly. Also known as “tooth crowding,” an impacted tooth can take the form of a partially erupted wisdom tooth, a sideways developed tooth, or a tooth trapped beneath the gum. Impaction results in an inflammation of the gums and infection around the wisdom tooth.
Wisdom Tooth Removal
It is often necessary to remove a wisdom tooth due to a lack of space within the mouth. The surgical process of pulling a wisdom tooth requires the patient to be put under either local or general anesthesia. An infection in the mouth may occur for up to two weeks or two months after a wisdom tooth removal. If you have any symptoms of tooth infection, let your dentists know immediately as you may need antibiotics. While getting a tooth removed is never fun, it is far better than ending up with partially erupted teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, or affected adjacent teeth.
An Insufficient Oral Hygiene
If the tooth is not impacted or affecting the growth of nearby teeth, then you should be able to avoid infection through proper oral care. However, when oral hygiene is ignored, food and debris can become trapped within the mouth only to become breeding grounds for bacteria and infection.
Wisdom Teeth Infection Treatment
There are three main treatment options for infected wisdom teeth:
- Medication to treat the tooth
- Dental work to repair it
- Surgery to remove the tooth
To begin, a dentist will examine your infected wisdom tooth and take an X-ray of the area to determine the best treatment options. Your dentists may prescribe antibiotics and pain-relieving medication to help heal an infected tooth and prevent the spread of bacteria.
After the infection is cleared, the tooth will undergo affected tooth repair or removal. Treating a wisdom tooth cavity is similar to other cavity treatments and may require a filling or crown. To remove rough or bumpy edges that trap food or bacteria, your dentist may also file down the top or sides of the tooth.
If the tooth is too damaged, your dentists will entirely or partly remove it. However, you may require dental surgery if the infected tooth is impacted.
Unfortunately, home remedies cannot fully treat a wisdom tooth infection, although some may temporarily relieve minor tooth pain. For example, gargling a mixture of salt and warm water can help slow bacteria buildup.
Another mouthwash option is to dilute hydrogen peroxide with equal parts of drinking water. The hydrogen peroxide acts as an antibacterial and kills some surface bacteria around the infection. You can also use a cold compress outside your cheek to help soothe swelling and inflammation.
Use a cotton swab to dab clove oil directly onto your wisdom tooth to decrease swelling and pain. If the pain is unbearable, then over-the-counter pain medication may be the best option. It is essential to see your dentist if you have pain or discomfort in or around a wisdom tooth.
When to See a Dental Professional
If you are experiencing pain within or around a wisdom tooth for more than 3-4 days, you should seek a dental professional. Do not ignore teeth, gum, or jaw symptoms such as:
- Pain or sensitivity
- Tender, swollen, or bleeding gums
- White fluid or oozing around teeth
- Bad breath or bad taste
- Jaw pain or swelling
- Stiff jaw
- Difficulty breathing, opening your mouth, or speaking
Furthermore, any fever, chills, nausea, or headaches are symptoms of a wisdom tooth infection. If left untreated, an infection may spread into the bloodstream and become a chronic infection.
Adequate Care After Wisdom Teeth Removal
After having a wisdom tooth removed, your oral health professional will advise you on caring for your mouth post-surgery. After 24 hours post-surgery, hold warm salty water in your mouth after eating to help clean out any debris. Only eat soft, easy-to-chew foods for a few days after the removal, and do not smoke for 48 hours after surgery. With proper post-removal care, you should heal quickly and without complications!

Majors: Computer Science
Internship: Game Developer Intern at FriendsLearn in Chennai, India
What: Ying programmed rewards and other features in an app that uses gaming to teach children good nutrition.
For Lan Ying, an internship at U-M alumnus Bhargav Prakash’s game development company FriendLearn in Chennai, India was more than just a chance to experience life abroad. It was time to explore whether computer science is the right major for her.
“Before I applied to this internship, I was unsure what computer science-related field I wanted to look into,” Ying says. “But this experience definitely made me really interested in game development.”
At FriendsLearn, Ying works as a programmer for a mobile game about nutrition education. She creates in-game rewards that help children learn how to make healthy eating choices. It’s a major growth experience for Ying: by day, her colleagues depend on her to do vital work for the company, and by night, she’s learning how to navigate a new city and language. | <urn:uuid:5a181f37-6c75-4cdd-a20b-fed251eb1fa9> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lsa.umich.edu/opportunityhub/news-events/all-news/search-news/internship-season-is-here/lan-ying.html | 2023-10-04T20:50:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.921245 | 345 |
This year’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was especially meaningful, and seemed to be more celebrated than I can ever remember. Then 22 year old poet Amanda Gorman rocked the world with her poem “The Hill We Climb” for the Inauguration. Just wow!
Social media was full of quotes from Dr. King and comments urging people to not just post Dr. King quotes, but to go out there and make a difference. That got me thinking about a saying my Dad has quoted to me all my life: “He who tooteth his own horn hath nothing to toot.” That is another way to say “All Hat and No Cattle” or “All Talk and No Walk.”
Lutheran Services Carolinas posted Dr. King quotes and celebrations on social media. Dr. King Day, Ms. Gorman, and tooting the horn made me consider whether LSC is all talk. We try to walk the walk first, then talk. Let’s explore that.
LSC is led by one of the most diverse, high functioning Boards of Directors in nonprofit health and human services. While other boards may be quite homogeneous, LSC’s board is evenly split women to men, and more diverse than the population of both Carolinas! That only happens because of a concerted effort by LSC to be a diverse organization.
With that leadership, LSC has embarked on a lifetime of work regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion. Please let me share just a few examples:
- 1979, LSC began resettling refugees from every corner of the world. Working with such a diverse clientele which also entails hiring a diverse workforce has influenced the entire organization.
- 2001, LSC acquired a nursing home in a very diverse low income area of Winston-Salem (100% Medicaid, majority African American residents). Subsequently, LSC built a new replacement nursing home in the heart of that same community.
- 2003, LSC staff helped found the NC Lutheran Synod’s African Descent Strategy Team, and has been actively involved since.
- 2011, LSC began acquiring ownership in now four PACE programs in North Carolina. PACE (Program for All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) serves indigent seniors, and a diverse population.
- 2018, LSC founded the LSC Diversity Council. As an employer of almost 2,000 teammates, LSC employs a diverse workforce and created its Diversity Council open to every teammate to advance diversity, equity, inclusion issues across the organization.
LSC will continue to walk first, then talk, as the ultimate tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. | <urn:uuid:c1096de4-21d1-4065-b7b1-a954c7f70c3e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lscarolinas.net/2021/01/21/walk-first-then-talk-a-tribute-to-dr-martin-luther-king-jr/ | 2023-10-04T21:12:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.950776 | 562 |

121 Past Shows
Tales Of San Francisco
Tales Of San Francisco includes paintings wherein The City is one of the main characters. Both Huxley and Young have always beautifully rendered the local landscape in a way that is uniquely narrative and inspirational. In a time of much architectural and cultural change, these works capture an essence that will hopefully remain constant.
Cut And Paste
Cut And Paste examines contemporary collage from a diversity of artists with unique techniques and subject matter. The resulting works of colorful art cover the gamut of figurative, surreal, and abstract.
Norm “Nomzee” Maxwell was a visual artist whose education came via the streets (Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Los Angeles) and the Hussian School Of Art. His combination of urban upbringing and fine art training resulted stylistically in an esoteric combination of color, light, and subject matter. Culturally, Maxwell was a quintessential urban contemporary artist, with a portfolio that included graffiti, street wear design, club flyer and album art, graphic design, set design, and fine art painting.
Born in Philadelphia, PA on January 25, 1969, Maxwell was fully susceptible to and influenced by street life, finding his expression in writing graffiti in the 1980s as “Ice”. Mentors and peers encouraged him to pursue an art degree, and his career began in Los Angeles’ Skid Row in the early 1990s alongside urban art visionary Doze Green and Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Clarence Williams.
Like many burgeoning urban artists, Maxwell survived and flourished in San Francisco, then back to LA, by taking on a plethora of art and design jobs, including art directing multiple big-budget music videos under Hype Williams. In 2007, he focused his energy back to fine art and opened Norm Maxwell Studio Gallery, which spanned six years and three locations. Maxwell garnered commissions from patrons in Los Angeles, Paris, Seoul, Berlin, and Dubai.
Maxwell was a prolific artist whose skills and subject matter spanned the extremes of painting. From acrylic spray to oil brush, street life to ancient myth, and urban strife to family life, Maxwell addressed both the evil and beauty of humanity -- a duality that he personally struggled with during his short and magnificent life. He is survived by his wife and two children.
Quintessential features signature paintings by eighteen established and emerging urban contemporary painters.
Panoptic Beauty showcases the ability of the three artists to scale their work from small drawings on paper to gigantic murals, all the while maintaining quality of line and use of color. Similarly, their unique styles present beautifully at any size. Amandalynn, Bunnie Reiss, and Ursula Young all began their art careers in San Francisco and have since exhibited and created murals all over the world.
Construct challenges traditional concepts of architecture, painting, and story telling. From Stokes’ visual interpretation of JG Ballard’s book The Drought, to Chen’s technology-inspired pixelated landscapes, to Reyes’ painted cut-outs collaged to create another painting, the pieces in this exhibition reinterpret the constructs we have learned.
Color Feels showcases Venegas' ongoing explorations in tone and dimension, including new works from his Lost Grid and Day Map series. He sees painting as a way to improvise and organize the "emotional data" in his mind. He assigns values to different tasks, events, and situations and translates them into overlapping shapes of varying sizes. These individual shapes build a unified piece that represents the balance of elements in his life, much in the way a large event has a broad effect on day-to-day life while smaller moments also leave a profound impression.
Immortal includes new and recent paintings by Monty Guy, showcasing various styles from his reinterpretation of classic sculpture to his ongoing series of tattooed children, artistic icons, and beyond. His latest work delves into experimental techniques in brushwork and color theory.
Affordable Art Series 6
The Affordable Art Series is a thorough exploration of the flourishing local art community, offering avid collectors and interested newbies a peek at the current mindset in urban painting.
The Changing Cityscape
Despite the fact both Anthony Holdsworth and Beryl Landau have exhibited work for decades, The Changing Cityscape will be their very first dual show featuring San Francisco landscapes. Their styles present an interesting contrast in approach to a similar subject matter: the constantly evolving San Francisco skyline and neighborhoods.
While Holdsworth paints plein air, Landau works from photographs that she has taken. Holdsworth uses oil while Landau prefers acrylic. And Holdsworth attempts to capture the vibe of a particular place -- Landau evokes a feeling about it. The couple met in 1980 during an SFAI alumni show at SOMArts Gallery, when both were more evidently influenced by Bay Area Figurative Art. Through time and experience, they have each developed a signature style. | <urn:uuid:b8a1e521-bd68-4651-8bf0-186f88ba1628> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://lunarienne.com/past?page=4 | 2023-10-04T20:58:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.94606 | 1,073 |

The state-run Industrial Bank of Korea led Korean lenders in terms of labor productivity last year, government data showed Monday.
According to the Financial Supervision Service, the IBK recorded 181 million won ($163,107) in profit per employee. Shinhan scored the second with 154 million won.
Employees at Hana Bank came third with 118 million won and the state-run Woori Bank came fourth with 80 million won. Kookmin Bank, which runs the largest number of workers, came last of the major five with each worker generating only 1 million won. The low productivity level is attributed to the increased loan-loss provision and massive retirement grants it had to pay for its voluntary lay-off program.
KB Financial Group, the parent of Kookmin Bank, swung to a loss in the fourth quarter and posted a net loss of 231 billion won in the October-December period.
But Kookmin Bank’s net interest margin topped the industry, together with that of IBK. Net interest margin is the ratio of a bank’s interest bearing assets.
Kookmin’s NIM, which already accounts for more than 80 percent of the group’s assets, was 2.94 percent in the fourth quarter, versus 2.63 percent in the previous quarter.
Wages were higher at foreign banks. Citibank paid the most generous package with 36 million won, followed by SC First Bank with 31 million won for the first half of last year. The Korea Exchange Bank paid 30.7 million won per employee in the same period. | <urn:uuid:230eeeda-9ed9-4b08-b554-132d733b9eba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://m.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20110221000842 | 2023-10-04T20:55:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.954725 | 324 |

As demand for organic, biodynamic and ‘natural’ wines continues to grow across the UK, people often ask what these terms actually mean. Here’s our quick overview about these very special wine categories…
Think of organic wine like organic fruit and vegetables. Organic wines are produced with organically grown grapes, which are grown in carefully managed vineyards without the intervention of pesticides or other chemicals. Certain additives, such as yeast or egg whites, are permitted, but there is disagreement within the wine community about the use of sulphites in organic wine. In the USA, organic wine must have no added sulphites, while in Europe and Canada the addition of sulphites does not compromise a wine’s organic status.
Biodynamics is a holistic view of agriculture which relies on balancing vine, man, earth and stars. It’s organic and then some! So, it’s not just a lack of pesticides, but looks at the moon’s cycles and special preparations for the soil. It might sound a little wacky, but this centuries-old practice is all about honoring the terroir, listening to the environment, and ensuring human intervention (pruning, watering and harvesting) are ‘in tune’ with the earth’s natural rhythms. The result, many claim, is more balanced wine which is more expressive of the terroir where the grapes were grown. Whether you can taste the difference or not is a little subjective. For more information on biodynamic wine, see this post from last year.
Natural wine sounds the same as organic, but there is a difference. The grapes are farmed organically or biodynamically, but once in the winery, there is minimal intervention. What this means is that there is often no grape pressing, no filtration or fining, no additions of yeast to help speed along fermentation or sulphur to help stabilise and kill bacteria. Grapes are left alone to do their thing and the result is an incredibly natural product, though often with a lot of bottle variation. The flavour profile is quite distinct too. Natural wine is not for everyone, but it has a huge following. See more here.
Demand rising in the UK
In the UK, It’s good news for producers as demand for organic, biodynamic and natural wines continues to increase. Many consumers are more interested than ever in the provenance of their food and drink, and there has been a staggering 14.3% increase in the sale of organic wines in the last year alone. In response, UK supermarkets are stocking more organic wines, and budget supermarket Aldi recently launched its own-label organic wine and beer range.
Where to taste organic wine?
If any further proof were needed of the popularity of organic wines, the world’s leading organic wine fair, Millésime Bio, returned for its 25th annual event in Montpellier at the end of January this year. The event brings together consumers and winemakers to celebrate, taste and experience organic wines.
Since its launch in 1993, the event has since seen booming year-on-year growth, despite the market for organic wines being small at the time of the fair’s conception. The 2017 edition boasted over 900 exhibitors from 16 countries and 4,800 visitors in attendance. With family-run businesses exhibiting alongside international producers. For information about the next event, check out their website.

Indian wire agency using think tanks, non-existent organisations to run disinformation campaign against China, Pakistan
A recent report by a European organization has revealed how fake narratives by the Indian media went viral on Chinese social media platforms recently, drawing attention to India’s allegedly vast smear campaign against China and Pakistan.
A report published by EuDisinfolab, in feb 2023, exposes more details and evidences to prove that Asian News International (ANI), an Indian wire agency, has been quoting a number of non-existent organizations, journalists and bloggers as ‘sources’ to spread disinformation, attacking China and Pakistan. The report further uncovered that India has long been building a huge anti-China and anti-Pakistan disinformation network and that Indian media outlets have built a sophisticated assembly line of fake anti-China and anti-Pakistan news.
In the report, researchers write that ANI has been repeatedly quoting articles and reports issued by a think tank named the International Forum for Rights and Security (IFFRAS). The think tank was previously chaired by Mario Silva, a former Canadian Member of Parliament (MP), and dissolved in 2014, according to public information provided on a Canadian government website.
However, when they checked IFFRAS’ official website, the researchers found that it has kept updating information, including articles, news, books and even conferences, and that ANI has kept quoting information from the think tank’s website.
For example, on December 27, 2022, IFFRAS published an article titled “Pakistan’s persecution of minorities under scanner again,” and on the same day, the article was quoted by ANI in a piece of news headlined “Pakistan’s ill-treatment of minorities under scanner after UK sanctions Sindhi cleric,” with most of the contents coming from the IFFRAS article.
The IFFRAS think tank mentioned in the lab report was also found to be linked to the Srivastava Group headed by Ankit Srivastava, as the researchers found that IFFRAS has been registered by using a well-known email address from the Srivastava Group.
This group is a representative of the disinformation war launched by India against China. Under the lead of the Srivastava Group, which is based in Geneva and Brussels, an information warfare network has been woven, with a number of fake media, think tanks and NGOs all over the world. | <urn:uuid:f772a36e-d936-4bc9-841a-c6e281dbbb83> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mahdiabbastech.medium.com/indian-wire-agency-using-think-tanks-non-existent-organisations-to-run-disinformation-campaign-e3635ea8a19a?source=user_profile---------3---------------------------- | 2023-10-04T19:02:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.964416 | 504 |

If I recall correctly, earlier versions of AIX at least had a compiler
option telling it to look for the .so files instead. However, that
would mean that you always have to use this option when building
application programs as well.
Once upon a time, we built the shared libraries with .a suffixes using
ar as above. This was changed some time ago -- I think maybe to let
us build both static and shared versions of the libraries at once,
though I'm not sure that was the reason, and we don't support building
static versions of the installed libraries on any platform any more.
So it may have been a mistake, and it might be a good idea to consider
reverting that change, though it would mean another ABI change on
AIX. Straightening this out requires AIX expertise (or at least the
ability to read the documentation plus the experience to say which
approach work better overall for AIX developers and system
maintainers, factoring in backwards compatibility and versioning and
such) plus hardware to test changes on. MIT's test AIX machine died
some years ago, and it was running an old version of the OS even then.
I assume you meant to write "libgssapi_krb5" above? For shared
libraries, we build the individual object files with a .so suffix for
mostly historical reasons -- so static and shared libraries could be
built in the same directory, on platforms where they have to be
compiled with different options (unlike AIX). So "gssapi_krb5.so" is
the object file compiled from "gssapi_krb5.c"; libgssapi_krb5.* is the
linked or archive forms of the library, and the similarity to the name
of one of the source/object files is accidental.

How to See Which Apps Can Access Your Location on Android
It’s no secret that smartphone apps have the ability to access a lot of permissions—if you let them. It’s important to make sure apps aren’t abusing permissions to protect your privacy. Android makes it easy to see which apps can access your location.
Android apps are required to ask for permission to access your location. Beginning in Android 11, you can even grant apps one-time access to your location. This means that you don’t have to worry about apps grabbing your location after you leave the app.
Regardless of how well you may monitor permissions, it’s a good idea to check up on which apps can access your location every once in a while. It’s easily done.
First, open the Settings menu on your Android phone or tablet by swiping down from the top of the screen (once or twice depending on your device’s manufacturer) to open the notification shade, then tap the gear icon.
Next, go to the “Privacy” section.
Select “Permission Manager.”
The Permission Manager lists all of the different permissions that apps can access. There’s everything from Body Sensors to Call Logs here. The one that we want is “Location.”
This screen may look a little different depending on which Android version you have and the manufacturer’s skin. At the top, you’ll see the apps that can access your location “All The Time.” Under that is “Only While In Use,” and lastly, you’ll see apps that you have denied access to.

Each year, Maranatha offers at least two projects specifically for families of all kinds, usually in the summer and over the Christmas holiday. One of these mission trips recently wrapped up in the Dominican Republic with 92 volunteers serving near the capital city of Santo Domingo. Each day, two groups worked in construction at separate sites, in extreme heat and humidity, laying block walls for the Caleta 4 Seventh-day Adventist Church and pouring the slab foundation of the Hacienda Estrella Church.
A third team provided a fresh coat of paint to the La Caleta 2 Church. Another volunteer team provided medical clinics in the community, seeing around 200 patients each day. Others led Vacation Bible School (VBS) programs for community children, and health education in various neighborhoods.
One of the special aspects of Maranatha’s Family Projects is the unique day camp that volunteer children take part in, allowing them to experience construction, local culture, and outreach activities throughout the mission trip. Ten volunteer kids took part in day camp on this project, working hard to lay block walls, painting, and helping with kitchen duties. They participated in community outreach by grocery shopping and distributing food to those in need, entertaining neighborhood children who were waiting with their parents at the medical clinic, as well as assisting with VBS. Kids also experienced local culture and had fun by visiting a chocolate factory, a cave with three lakes, a zoo, a water park, and a park at the beach.
“It was very satisfying to watch the kids do these things for other people, not complaining about the heat,” said day camp coordinator Chris Duckett. “You could see they weren’t afraid to make friends, step out of their comfort zone, and do their best to speak some Spanish.” | <urn:uuid:054633d6-dff1-4253-97e0-f3b5e61dc710> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://maranatha.org/news-events/family-project-serves-in-the-dominican-republic/ | 2023-10-04T19:32:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.967545 | 368 |
The EB-5 investor program is an investor-friendly immigration program that attracts capital from all over the world. In this program, foreign nationals can invest in a business that will create jobs in the U.S. but will not be involved in the management of the business. Furthermore, investors do not have to be business owners to qualify for the program.
It Attracts Capital Investment Across The Globe.
The EB-5 investor program is designed to help foreign investors invest in the United States. Investors receive a green card and a job in exchange for their investment. The program requires foreign investors to invest at least $900,000 in a commercial enterprise and create 10 new jobs. EB-5 investors can invest directly or through regional centers. Over 98% of investments are made through regional centers.
However, the program has its limitations. As of March 2017, EB-5 immigrants have invested more than $4 billion in businesses in the United States. This is incredible, but these figures assume a minimum investment of $500,000 and are likely to underestimate the total investment volume. While the United States is a popular investment destination for foreign investors, it is essential to remember that there are other options.
The EB-5 investor program has been a tremendous job creator in the United States. These investments often create jobs in areas that need them. Investors should consider the employment area they wish to invest if they invest less than $1 million.
It Does Not Manage The Business.
The EB-5 investor program allows you to invest in any business, but many of them are real estate developments, such as hotels and senior living centers. The investor must also live in the country to oversee the business and ensure its success. If you want to participate in the EB-5 program, you should look for a regional center in your area. These centers are experienced in running these types of businesses and can help you with the process. Investors can invest in a business that is in trouble so long as they can guarantee jobs for at least two years. To qualify for an EB-5 investor visa, a troubled business must have a minimum of 10 full-time employees. If a troubled business has fewer employees, it can hire more to meet this requirement.
It Allows Foreign Nationals To Claim Credit For Direct Or Indirect/Induced Job Creation.
Under the EB-5 investor program, foreign nationals can claim credit for direct or indirect/induced job production by investing in an eligible commercial project or enterprise. Direct jobs are those created by the enterprise that receives the foreign national’s capital, while indirect jobs are created by businesses that are connected to the project. Indirect jobs result from the economic activity generated around the project’s location, such as increased demand for goods and services. The EB-5 investor program requires investors to provide proof of their funding source. These can include loan documentation or tax returns. In gift investments, investors must show that they inherited the money or have received it legally. In addition, investors must provide proof of their source of income, such as a letter from their employer or a pay stub.
It Is Revenue Neutral.
A key feature of the EB-5 investor program is that the program is revenue neutral. This means that there are no federal costs involved in administering the program. The program helps stimulate regional economic development, with most investments being made in distressed areas. Those investments create jobs, often better and more permanent ones. This benefits workers in both the targeted communities and that outside. The EB-5 investor program has proven to be a viable source of foreign capital, creating hundreds of thousands of jobs in the U.S. Since its creation; it has been reauthorized with bipartisan support. It has become a vital tool in U.S. economic development. The EB-5 investor program is up for reauthorization, and the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Coalition welcomes this opportunity to provide suggestions for improvements. The program is secure and effective and should be continued with the support of Congress. | <urn:uuid:10348524-c1ce-4891-b617-610e5047e8f6> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://marcwallace.com/4-advantages-of-the-eb-5-investor-program/ | 2023-10-04T19:57:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.963807 | 814 |
Maricopa County Increases HVAC Fund by $10 Million to Help Homeowners Ahead of Summer
Video >>> Meet Homeowners Who Were Helped
Phoenix, Ariz. (Apr. 17, 2023) — The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors has approved a $10 million increase to the HVAC repair and replacement fund that helps homeowners in the county with the cost of energy efficiency home improvement projects.
“Air conditioning isn’t a ‘nice to have’ in the Sonoran Desert. During the summer months, it is a necessity,” said Board of Supervisors Chairman Clint Hickman, District 4. “We have been able to help hundreds of families keep their homes cool during the summer heat. And through this program, we often learn families have other needs and we connect them to additional services.”
To date, the County’s Home Improvement Program has completed 299 projects to help eligible households. With the additional funding, the County estimates that up to 600 households will be supported with HVAC repairs and/or full system replacements.
The $10 million boost in funding comes from the County’s allocation of federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, which are being used to address issues facing families and households as the community recovers from the effects of the pandemic and navigates budget-busting inflation.
In addition to the $10 million increase in the HVAC repair and replacement fund, the Board of Supervisors had previously allocated $8.65 million, bringing the total funding to $18.65 million. This funding will be used to help income-qualified households with repairs and replacements to their air conditioning and other energy-related needs to ensure the health and safety of everyone in the home.
To apply, and for more information on this and other support programs available to Maricopa County residents, visit Maricopa.gov/HelpWithBills.

The Nuts & Bolts Guide to a New Jersey Medical Marijuana CardJune 20, 2022
Medical Marijuana Card Jupiter Florida, Boca Raton Florida, Tallahassee Florida, Fort Myers Florida, Palm Beach Gardens Florida, Chipley Florida, Bonifay Florida, Washington County
The Medical Marijuana Card is a card that is issued by the state to patients who have been prescribed medical marijuana. This card will allow them to purchase, possess, and consume marijuana for medicinal purposes.
A medical marijuana card can be obtained by a patient with a qualifying condition from their healthcare provider. The healthcare provider will need to provide the patient with an application form and then submit it on their behalf to the appropriate issuing authority. The issuing authority will then review the application and provide the patient with a Medical Marijuana Card if they meet all of the criteria for eligibility.
Medical marijuana is a hot topic in the United States. With more states legalizing it, there’s been an increasing need for medical marijuana cards.
A number of states have legalized the use of medical marijuana to treat specific conditions and diseases. This has been a boon to people suffering from chronic pain, seizures, and other debilitating diseases.
The process by which you can get a medical marijuana card varies from state to state. Some states require that you go through a doctor first while others allow you to apply directly with the government. In most cases, all you need is your ID and proof of residency
Medical marijuana is legal in Boca Raton Florida. There are, however, requirements to obtain a medical marijuana card in the state. This guide will walk you through the process of getting a medical marijuana card in NJ.
In order to get a medical marijuana card in Tallahassee Florida, you must be a resident of the state and have one of the qualifying conditions such as cancer or HIV/AIDS. | <urn:uuid:27ff3001-d483-4829-9898-74648c14a78b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://marijuana420doctor.com/medical-marijuana-cards-a-guide-to-floridas-medical-marijuana-program/ | 2023-10-04T21:02:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.941297 | 394 |
limited flame spread
One of the tests we perform to carry out internal quality control of our fabrics is the limited flame propagation test. Depending on the features required by the tested fabric, different verification procedures are carried out. In this post we will explain what each of them consists of.
The EN ISO 11612 is the European standard that specifies the minimum requirements of the fabric to protect against heat and flame.
This standard also verifies radiant heat, contact heat, convective heat, heat resistance, and limited flame spread, among others.
In this article, we will focus on the tests to check the “limited flame spread”, which is defined by the EN ISO 15025 standard. This standard consists of 2 parts, procedure A (horizontal flame, classification A1) and procedure B (flame vertical, classification A2). The A2 is optional.
What is the A1 test?
The test is based on applying a horizontal gas (propane) flame (surface ignition) for 10 seconds (where all measurements, distances, materials and gas flow are given by the standard) to check the behavior of the fabric.
AND A2 TEST?
The test consists of applying a vertical gas (propane) flame at 30º (ignition at the edge) for 10 seconds (where all measurements, distances, materials and gas flow are given by the standard) to check the behavior of the fabric. Unlike the A1, a fold is made on one edge, to simulate the bottom of a garment.
To know if the tests have been carried out successfully, both in the case of A1 and A2, they must meet the following mandatory requirements:
- No test piece should ignite to the top or side edges.
- No test piece must form a hole ≥ 5 mm in any direction (only applies to A1).
- No test tube should give off inflamed or molten remains.
- Post-ignition must be ≤ 2 s.
- Afterglow must be ≤ 2 s.
If the fabric passes the test complying with the previous points, we have the first “green light” to say that the fabric is flame retardant.
hOW IS IT DONE FOLLOWING American standard NFPA 2112?
NFPA 2112 is the American standard responsible for flame resistance of fabrics for personal protection against fire. The testing methods included in this standard are: flame resistance, manikin testing, thermal shrinkage resistance, and heat resistance.
In this article, we will focus on the test to verify the “limited flame spread”, which is defined by the ASTM D6413 Standard Test Method for Flame Resistance of Textiles (Vertical Test).
The limited flame spread test of the American standard consists of applying a vertical gas (methane) flame for 12 seconds (where all the measurements, distances, materials and gas flow are given by the standard) to check the behavior of the fabric.
After exposure to the flame and allowing the fabric to cool, a weight is hung to assess the tear force required to break the charred area. The weight is defined by the standard based on the grammage of the fabric being tested.
To know if the test has been carried out successfully, you must meet the following mandatory requirements:
- No test piece should ignite or drip.
- Post-ignition must be ≤ 2 s.
- The torn char length should be ≤ 100 mm.FOLL | <urn:uuid:ee4d5a9b-67b9-4ff2-bebe-480d9f870f3e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://marinatextil.com/news/limited-flame-spread | 2023-10-04T20:04:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.892071 | 711 |
This morning I read an article on the website BeliefNet–The 10 Biggest Issues Christian Americans Are Facing Today—that is full of discouraging facts and trends that are gaining momentum in the wrong direction. Here are just a few of the observations about believers who are:
- Drifting away God’s Word
- Puffing themselves up with pride
- Displaying a startling lack of honesty
- Relying on moral relativism to make decisions
- Increasingly becoming unwilling to serve God’s Kingdom
I couldn’t help but wonder if the future would continue along this dangerous road of DILUTION and steadily subordinate Christ and elevate SELF.
Today’s cultural force field acts as a filter through which the media promotes self-centeredness and perpetuates its powerful grip on society. The vulnerable people under this attack are chasing success, money, materialism, hedonism, power, achievement, and superficiality. That chase, which I used to be part of, leaves no time or room in the heart for God, let alone others.
And that’s dilution!
People living by this narrative look at everything they encounter through this lens: What can I get out of it? Self-centeredness is rooted in a person’s fleshly desire to please their own interests more than they want to please God. Every act of self-love is rebellion against the authority of God.
God showed me that SELF is one of the greatest burdens we carry and impossible to manage. Even our best SELF clutches tightly to many of the fears that can defeat us as we battle worry, temptations, darkness, and our own confusing dispositions. Most importantly, SELF dilutes our spiritual growth toward deeper intimacy with God.
I ask God to keep me focused on him so I can always put SELF in a subordinate position.
HOW ABOUT YOU?
Is your faith walk being diluted?
“Let go of selfish desires and earthly security and focus instead on the interests of God.” Matthew 6:33 | <urn:uuid:ac80e4c7-5d65-43ba-be11-e8ea6440da6e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://markaffleck.com/dilution-slow-sneaky-headed-way/ | 2023-10-04T19:46:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.942291 | 425 |
I used to look at life and everything about it as a race that had to be won at all costs. Just win, baby. Finish first. Win. Succeed. Cash in and prosper. Be the winner.
What a joke.
Thankfully, God revealed to me that life is not an endurance run where we get awarded a prize for finishing first. Life is a journey of joy in the here and now. Every minute. Every day. Always. Most of us can understand that, and we even teach it to those in our charge, but sometimes we do feel like we are behind the pace. The hard part is avoiding the strong pull to be negative and defeatist when we encounter life’s trials and pain. Being negative when tribulation comes makes us feel alone and afraid.
But feeling this way is a predictable part of God’s plan to show us in the most intimate way possible that he is there and still in control. He is not going anywhere without us. God uses that sadness and uncertainty to test our faith. He uses it to show us that the adversity in our life is there to teach us and strengthen us so we can emerge with our faith and our wits attached.
“We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. . . . So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:8-9, 18
God wants us to wait for his refining work and look for his perspective even while we are in the vortex of worry and discouragement. He wants us to trust the divine timing and not get discouraged while we’re in the waiting period. The best approach to stop this kind of anxiety early is to pray. But as clear and logical as that is, many believers seem to respond in exactly the opposite way. That is, the bigger the trouble, the less we seem to pray.
This perplexing dichotomy has us asking in disbelief, “I’ve committed my life to God…why is this happening to me?” Then a new rush of hopelessness engulfs us, and feeling alone we move even farther from turning the problem over to God and believing he can pull the rabbit out of the hat. Why do we settle for less than what our heart really desires? Why do we minimize God?
No matter what happens in our circumstances, God wants us to fight off our feelings of defeatism and negativity by continually stretching our perspective beyond the trials of our lives. He always gives us another angle, another way to approach our circumstances. Even if our emotions tell us this different approach is wrong, we should try making sense of other perspectives. We can tune up our faith just like a car’s engine if we look for God’s perspective.

Why Yoga Works – The Neurophysiology of Practice with Allison Tomotsugu
A Conversation with Allison Tomotsugu
We all experience yoga in ways that are unique to our individual nature, while at the same time we are all human common physiological conditions, such as brains, hearts, muscles, bones and other tissues, organs and systems. We also all live on planet Earth, even as our living conditions vary. Our unique experiences thus occur through and within a shared universe and environment. And as unique as our experience are in yoga, including how we feel doing it, there's much to discover about why yoga seems to "work" – to result in feeling better, getting clearer, having a better life.
Tune in here for a conversation that asks about why yoga works and takes you on a tour through yoga practices, human physiology (including "vagal toning"), and living fully in the modern world.
- Different styles of yoga, primarily Ashtanga Vinyasa and Budokon
- Svadhyaya and self-inquiry
- Safe sequencing, modifications and props
- Set sequences and creativity
- The nervous system and the vagus nerve
- Living a full and balanced life as a mom and in the modern world

GUEST INFORMATION & LINKS
After dabbling in classes at the local studios for a few years, Allison became a lifetime student of yoga in 2000. She connected to the Astanga practice early on and still draws inspiration from her years of early morning practices in a shala. More recently she is inspired by her work in Budokon and functional movement to find a balanced practice that nurtures her life's newest phase, a mom of twin boys.
Since 2000 Yoga has been a consistent thread in her personal and professional life – she is a medical doctor by training – and it is here where she pulls her greatest insights for her teachings. In her unique approach Allison navigates the sometimes mystical parts of Yoga with clarity and perspective. She believes that yoga, in its many forms, has the ability to rewire the way we think, feel and act in the world if we choose to maintain a dedicated and consistent practice.
Allison is based on the outskirts of Ottawa, Canada. She runs her own online studio where she offers live classes, on demand videos, and hosts YTTs and continuing education programs for yoga teachers.

You may be asking what technical knowledge, platforms, and technologies are most crucial to master if your company wants to learn how to develop an app. World-class mobile app development requires technical expertise and wise technological decisions, but there are a number of other crucial jobs and factors that must be taken into account.
The creation of mobile apps involves more than just technical proficiency. In addition to the technical expertise and breadth of knowledge that an app development business can offer, you need a well defined strategy and app development approach to produce an app that exceeds users’ expectations, delivers a value service, and outperforms your rivals.
If your business wants to know how to create an app, this article will help you. However, this article will not teach you the technical skills required to create an app. Learning the ins and outs of app development requires hands-on experience and specialized training, which can take years to master.
However, while we won’t teach you the technical side of app development, we will explain how your business can take original app ideas and create a mobile app that appeals to users and achieves your business goals. Let’s review some of the important functions and considerations your business should keep in mind when building an app.
How to Build an App: Essential Tasks and Considerations
Creating a successful app starts long before a single line of code is written. Of course, without a solid foundation to inform your company’s application development management, it doesn’t matter how good your code is; it will be difficult to fully understand your application concept.
Make Sure Your Business Carefully Considers the Following to Build Your Own Successful App:
- Describe your application concept
- Understand your audience
- Describe the key functions and features of popular applications
- Analyze your competitors
- Choose an application development process
- Invest in security and maintenance
- Don’t forget ASO
- Describe your application concept
Good mobile apps take time to develop. Therefore, your first app idea may go through several stages and changes before the final product is created. Therefore, the first step your business should take is to clearly define the app concept.
These Questions Can Help You Define Your Mobile App:
- Why do you want to create your own mobile app?
- What will it be used for?
- How does this goal align with larger business goals?
Every mobile app has a purpose.
However, there are many reasons your business might want to build an app. Therefore, we will not explore all possible motivations for developing a mobile application. However, to be successful, your mobile app must meet two things: your customers’ needs and your business goals.
App development costs are not cheap. However, your business can control expenses by clearly defining application goals and business objectives. Without a well-defined application concept, your business will not maximize the use of its resources, and as a result, the business will spend more money.
Understand Your Audience
Along with clearly defining your app goals, understanding and defining your company’s app marketing strategy is critical to app success. Developing mobile apps for internal or external users? How does your app benefit its users? If you struggle to explain how your mobile app will benefit users, users will struggle to see how it will benefit them. Mobile apps provide users with no benefits or benefits that are quickly abandoned.
To ensure that your mobile app provides value to users, you need to understand your audience. Typically, for businesses, the ideal audience will be their existing or potential customers. By conducting audience research and analysis, you can get an accurate picture of your audience’s wants, needs, and common problems they are trying to solve. If you can’t identify your target audience, your business may be building apps that users aren’t using. Don’t waste valuable real estate resources without doing audience research.
Define Functions and Key Features
Once you have a clear understanding of your app’s purpose and audience, the next step is to define the functions and features you will include. Create a list of all the tasks and features necessary to make your app concept work as expected. Some companies use their core project and feature list to create an MVP (Minimum Product).
A minimum viable product is essentially a stripped-down version of software that includes only the essential features and functions. Many companies, especially startups, choose to develop an MVP to validate their app concept and ensure that the features and functionality they feel are important are there. An MVP team also helps with target audience and marketing research. Initially, your business should focus only on the features and services that add value to the application. Then, as the app develops, your business can add features and services based on user feedback. Prioritizing what’s important is the best way to navigate the app development journey. On the one hand, your company will save money by creating only great plans. Additionally, focusing on the essentials ensures that your mobile app provides a rich user experience.
Know Your Competitors
Competitor research is an important and useful part of the mobile development process. Competitor analysis can provide important insights that will greatly benefit your mobile app development project. Analysis of mobile application offerings
- Define your audience.
- Support the important features and functions of the application.
- Understand market demand for their application ideas.
- Get some money from its mobile app.
- Avoid common mistakes that other companies make.
Competitor analysis helps your business identify and close job gaps. If you want your mobile app to be successful, your app must bring value to users. The easiest way to create value for employees is to give them something they don’t currently have. If you don’t take the time to understand your competition, you won’t be able to properly analyze the current market or predict demand for your app idea.
Choose an Application Development Process
You should not start thinking about how your business will be affected by mobile app development until you … | <urn:uuid:d32a3c9b-1aa9-41c6-8c67-2f6ded56dbaa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mas75.com/category/modern-technology/mobile/ | 2023-10-04T19:28:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.931945 | 1,240 |
Do you dream of long-running, resinous, chunky cannabis colas? Make it a reality in your marijuana garden with high-yield cultivation methods. Topping and Fimming are two proven techniques. Keep reading to find out which one is the best method for you!
WHAT IS TOPPING CANNABIS?
Topping is the process of pruning the growing tip of the main stem of a cannabis plant. This is perhaps the most common HST or high stress training technique applied by both indoor and outdoor growers. Marijuana growing naturally will typically take on a Christmas tree structure; One dominant, main central cola and multiple sets of side branches. All plant parts receiving a share of sunlight at some stage during the day as the sun traverses the sky.
In contrast, indoor cannabis plants receive illumination from a stationary grow lamp positioned above. This makes naturally-shaped cannabis plants inefficient to crop indoors, unless you cultivate in large numbers using the SOG or Sea of Green method. Topping is the method of choice for pro growers to increase yields. It is also favored by home growers that want to fill out their grow space with a handful of plants, rather than pack in as many as possible.
Removing the terminal bud (tip of the main stem) will encourage the development of two new main colas and promote growth of the lower, secondary branches. The aim is to invert the Christmas tree shape to allow more light penetration. Growth hormone is diffused to all of the shoots once the apical bud’s dominance is removed. Branchy, low-profile plants are more desirable to every grower for a variety of reasons. Indoors, vertical space is often at a premium and outdoors, bushes are stealthier than tall trees. Not to mention the more even canopy and increased yields!
WHEN TO TOP CANNABIS
Top your plants after they’ve developed between 3–5 nodes, as this is when their roots and stems are strong enough to recover from the stress of the process. Plants typically reach this size after around 30 days of vegetative phase. Be mindful that different varieties grow at different speeds.
Plants can’t handle topping during the seedling stage. If you try topping during this time, you risk killing or stunting your seedlings. Similarly, topping during the flowering phase is sure to cause damage to your precious plants.
Wait about 1–2 weeks before topping new growth. Your plants will require this time to recover from the stress and readjust to the new growth pattern.
HOW TO TOP CANNABIS
To top a plant, make a clean cut to the tip of the main stem using sterile scissors and fully remove the top growth. Be sure to leave about 5cm of space between where you cut and the lateral branches. This will give you slight room for error and help you avoid accidentally severing these important structures.
Instead of forming a solitary central cola, the plant will now grow two separate branches—the main cola will not continue to grow and the two side nodes will take over as colas.
You can repeat this process later on down the line. Eventually, the two branches you just created will be ready to top. This will further divide what was a single terminal flower into four distinct bud sites.
Continue the process until you’re satisfied with your plant’s canopy.
EQUIPMENT FOR TOPPING CANNABIS
Topping cannabis requires accuracy, precision, and cleanliness. Snipping your plant with a blunt tool can cause the stem to break and it can leave a much larger wound than intended.
Try out these Curved Trimming Scissors made for taming and topping cannabis plants. The sharp blades and robust handle make them perfect for your needs. Their curved design makes them perfect for pruning deep within canopies and trimming off sugar leaves during harvest. You can also use this handy tool to obtain clean cuttings for cloning!
WHAT IS FIMMING CANNABIS?
Fimming is another HST technique used to increase yield that is similar to topping, but not quite the same. The objective is still to increase the number of main colas. But instead of doubling down, fimming can give rise to 4+ new top colas. This technique is highly recommended for micro-growers with perhaps just 1-2 plants.
Secondary shoots are juiced with the growth hormone that previously would have been used to develop the main stem. However, most growers report that fimming is slightly less effective at reducing stretching than topping. A fimmed cannabis plant can still grow rather tall, albeit with far more top colas.
WHEN TO FIM CANNABIS
Wait until your plant has developed 3–5 nodes before you FIM it. Like with topping, performing the procedure too early will shock the plant and slow down the growth of your seedling. You should only FIM plants during the vegetative phase to allow plants to focus all of their energy on bud production during the flowering stage. If you want to train your plant during this time, try gentle techniques such as low-stress training (LST).
HOW TO FIM CANNABIS
Fimming involves pinching or cutting off around 75% of the tip of a plant. The very word FIM stands for “f*ck I missed”, and hints at how sloppy the technique appears. It looks as though the grower messed up their topping attempt! Looks aside, it’s an extremely simple and effective technique.
Grab the tip of your plant and gently elongate the growth with one hand. Use a pair of clean scissors to snip about 75% of the top. You'll be left with a small turf of growth that will eventually give life to four colas.
LIMITATIONS OF TOPPING AND FIMMING
Topping and fimming will prolong the amount of time cannabis plants will need to spend in the 18/6 vegetative growth stage. Expect a 4-6 week vegetative growth phase if you plan on applying these techniques.
Another oft-overlooked and obvious problem with encouraging the formation of multiple fat colas is that marijuana plants tend to become really top heavy. In the absence of a ScrOG, plants may require staking with bamboo for support.
PRUNING AND TRAINING FOR MAXIMUM YIELD
Do you want the heaviest harvest possible? If you do, then you must be prepared to blend a few techniques. Topping or fimming cannabis plants alone is not really going far enough. Go the extra mile for those extra grams. By adding the following two methods to the mix, you might hit upon the recipe for a scale-tipping harvest!
All of the above high-yield cannabis cultivation techniques can be further enhanced with a ScrOG or Screen of Green. A ScrOG is the pinnacle of high-performance marijuana growing. By deploying a mesh screen across the grow space, the whole grow-op is tuned for maximum production. Essentially, the grower must bend and fold shoots to fill out as many of the grid squares as possible. This begins in the vegetative stage and continues on until early bloom.

about the show
Celebrating Australia Day, Mates Theatre Genesis and The Redland Museum will present “Barbecue,†a grassroots comedy by Daryl Peebles.
Brimming with quintessential characters and fearless Aussie humour, “Barbecue†is a delightful insight into what goes on in backyards all over Australia.
Centred around the cultural ritual of the backyard barbie, the storyline centres on retired truck driver Colin Cooper (played by Daniel Baker), and his family who win the Lotto and move from the working class suburb of Bestwood to the ritzy suburb of Grand Bay. Social values are challenged and many hilarious moments unfold as the Coopers rub shoulders with their new upper class neighbours, the McKenzies, whose family dynasty newspaper empire is rapidly declining.
Leroy and Jonathan, fresh faced Mormons from Utah accidentally stumble into the backyard fray. The supposedly “non-alcoholic†punch fuels an unexpected love affair between Leroy and the McKenzie’s spoilt daughter, Marion, whilst slick financial adviser Kevin dishes up sage business advice.
Add a hotted up Torana, running commentary on the cricket score provided by Colin’s mail-order Asian bride, Connie; and the scene is set for a barbecue to remember.
Directed by Tereska Hart, a performer with professional theatrical, film and TV experience, “Barbecue†will feature a cast of Mates Theatre Genesis regulars and newcomers. The crew includes: Diana Gogulski, Assistant Director; Ian Munday, Stage Manager; and James Auld, Sound & Lighting.
“Barbecue†will be performed on the evenings of January 25, 26, 31 and February 1, 8 with matinee performances from 1.00pm on January 27 and February 9. Tickets to the matinee performances are $27, including a devonshire tea. The evening ticket, $37 includes a two course BBQ dinner served under the stars amongst the gum trees from 6pm.

TL;DR: Now that Micro VCs have found their niche in the ecosystem, investors are more willing than ever to support them despite a challenging capital climate.
Two ends of the venture investing spectrum attract the bulk of attention.
First is big, established firms with assets under management in the nine-to-ten figure range. These firms have been top of mind in the tech and finance communities for decades at this point. But more recently, there has also been an uptick in attention paid to smaller, scrappier VC firms whose coffers are much smaller.
Micro VCs Are Now Firmly Established
Since the start of 2016, over 50 new Micro VC firms have been raised. And it looks like the trend is generally up and to the right. All is well, right?
Let’s peel things back a bit.
First, though, it’s important to be clear about what we mean by “Micro VC.” The generally accepted definition of a Micro VC is a fund that fits the following categories:
- A Micro VC has under $100 million in assets under management.
- The Micro VC makes a supermajority of its investments in seed stage companies.
- Capital is raised from outside investors (i.e. limited partners) rather than general partners of the fund.
Preqin’s findings indicate that Micro VCs make up a large majority of venture funds. And although $100 million is the upper bound to be counted in this category, funds with $50 million or less in AUM account for the lion’s share of the Micro VC ecosystem.
Recent Headwinds Lead to Cooling VC Market
There is a slowdown across the board in venture capital fundraising and investment activity for both general partners and startup companies.
According to a recent release from the NVCA, US venture capital firms of all sizes raised $8.8 billion across 67 funds in Q2, with capital commitments down 37% from the first quarter of 2016.
The relevant figure to aspiring fund managers is the notable decrease in the number of new funds originated relative to the number of follow-on funds raised by established firms. The number of new funds raised in Q2 of 2016 is 19—less than half of the 34 new funds raised in Q2 last year.
Recalling that the bulk of Micro VCs’ investments are made at the Seed stage, what might be more disconcerting are the changes in the market for early stage startup equity. According to recent analysis from Mattermark, the number of Seed stage deals decreased in Q2 of 2016 by 42.4% relative to the same period last year. Comparing deal volume in this quarter relative to last, though, we find a decrease of 61.4%.
The Micro VCs Strike Back?
It’s hard to imagine a situation where these market forces don’t affect current or developing Micro VC funds.
However, despite these headwinds, it appears as though Micro VCs are not experiencing much friction in their fundraising activity, at least through June 2016.
The chart above should be heartening to any investor looking to get into the Micro VC game. Through June, 2016, new Micro VC funds saw the lowest level of undersubscription in the last decade. Put differently, three quarters of general partners raising Micro VC funds met or exceeded their target fund size.
The appeal of Micro VC funds to investors remains strong. These funds are still a good way for limited partners to gain exposure to more seed stage deals in market niches that larger funds don’t see or lack the incentive to pursue.
Despite a challenging funding environment for startups and other categories of venture capitalists, limited partners appear to be more willing now than ever to commit capital to these small investment vehicles. Whether they continue to do so throughout the rest of this year and beyond, of course, remains to be seen. That being said, Micro VC funds now have both a niche and momentum which likely bodes well for them going forward. | <urn:uuid:7d474542-c112-4a04-9660-10a7a37ff2ea> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mattermark.com/return-micro-vc/ | 2023-10-04T21:03:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.94623 | 827 |
Editor’s Morning Note: Uber loses more money than we thought.
Tragically, Uber’s UberLEGO push failed to final market traction.
Earlier this year, reports surfaced that Uber, the popular on-demand car service, had reached a form of profitability in a growing number of American cities.
In contrast to its Chinese operations that were known to be non cash-accretive, it appeared that Uber had turned the corner in its home market.
However, Bloomberg published new Uber performance metrics today. The figures show not only increasing aggregate losses at the firm but also, at least, a temporary return to losses in the United States.
Summing, we can answer our prior question:
Answer: No. And to quote Gov. Rick Perry, “Oops.”
Uber’s Global Financial Health
Quickly, here are the key points from Bloomberg’s piece:
- In the first quarter, Uber’s EBITDA was -$520 million. Grade: Not good.
- In the second quarter, Uber’s “losses” (presumably EBITDA again) “exceeded” -$750 million. Grade: Even more not good.
- Uber’s bookings expanded $1.2 billion from $3.8 billion to $5 billion from the first quarter to the second. Grade: Good.
- “Uber also told investors during the call that it was changing how it calculates UberPool’s contribution to revenue in the second quarter, which had the effect of artificially increasing revenue.” Grade: Frowny face :(
- The company’s net revenue expanded from $960 million in the first quarter to $1.1 billion in the second quarter for a sequential gain of 14.5 percent. Grade: Not bad.
- “Uber won’t see any losses from China on its balance sheet after August, the company said on Friday’s investor call.” Grade: Less loss tends to be good.
- An Uber investors expects the company’s home-market losses to persist no longer than the next few quarters. Grade: Sure.
Or more simply, we now better understand why Uber had to give up in China.
Uber previously said that its profits in non-Chinese markets helped support its Chinese losses:
Remove those profits, and what was expensive before could quickly turn prohibitive. Hello, Didi.
I promise that we are going to be brief today, but let’s stick our noses in it again. From Mattermark’s prior writing:
Uber’s implied massive burn reduction through the Didi deal is impressive. But given that the firm will lose hundreds of millions of dollars this year in the market that was, at least for some time, a financial highlight, we can safely assume that the private shop is still quite a ways away from American public markets.
So Uber is still a huge, quickly growing company that loses money. News at 11.

By Rob Mattern, President
Published in Legal Management Magazine
Law firms are at a crossroads, triggered by the transformational impact of the pandemic. Most firms are looking to re-engineer the delivery of legal services, and many are seeing outsourcing of administrative and office services as a tool that supports their new strategic vision.
Even before COVID-19, outsourcing had been on the rise for almost a decade. According to the 2021 State of the Legal Market Report from Georgetown University and the Thomson Reuters Institute, growth of competition and clients’ embrace of alternative providers had pushed firms toward making the delivery of legal services more efficient, more predictable and more cost-effective. This triggered:
- Increased reliance on allied professionals and specialists.
- Improved internal operating systems, such as timekeeping, billing and document management systems.
- Expanded partnering and the outsourcing of back- and middle-office services.
- Created “captive” subsidiaries for legal-related services.
- Expanded use of technology to improve legal work processes.
However, according to Altman Weil’s 2020 Law Firms in Transition Survey, only 37.1% of firms report significant improvement when outsourcing to non-law firm vendors. How can firms improve their success rates when outsourcing — and what are the new prevailing market conditions to consider?
The new white paper from Mattern, “Outsourcing in a Post-COVID World,” aims to help firms do outsourcing “right” under the new, prevailing market conditions of hybrid operations. When done correctly, outsourcing is an indispensable tool that helps firms increase expertise and flexibility while lowering costs.
Here are just a few key trends detailed in the white paper:
Key Trend #1: Technology
One of the hottest trends in legal outsourcing is the increase in the use of technology. Probably the best example of this is the growth in digital mailroom (DMR) solutions.
Key Trend #2: Reception
Virtual reception solutions gained traction during the pandemic and can be accomplished in a variety of setups:
- Centralized Operators: Live, centralized person (a firm employee or a third party) to answer and direct all incoming calls for all firm offices.
- Automated Kiosk: Touchscreen interface offering visitors pertinent information, such as the firm directory and building policies, while providing notifications of visitor arrivals for firm employees.
- Kiosk with Live Person via Voice: Live, centralized person (a firm employee or a third party) linked via a voice connection and a touchscreen interface.
- Holograms: Interactive, life-size, talking and moving hologram using artificial intelligence and offering visitors pertinent information.
Key Trend #3: Administrative Support
Post-COVID attorneys are more tech-savvy, more self-sufficient and less reliant on their secretaries and administrative support than ever before. Instead, they are seeking a different skill set, such as more sophisticated graphic design for presentations and document conversion.
A few firms have made wholesale changes to their administrative support structure, with some creating “pods” or “teams.” Firms are recognizing that the delivery of administrative support services should be looked at holistically and incorporate not only direct attorney support, but also paralegal, document/word processing and even billing support.
NEGOTIATE YOUR OUTSOURCING AGREEMENT TO ACHIEVE THE DESIRED RESULTS
Now more than ever, firms must know how to structure and negotiate their outsourcing agreements. Less than a third of firms were successful outsourcing prior to the pandemic, and new variables and trends have further complicated the path to success. Our top considerations for firms now are:
1. Know Your Costs, End Users and Operation
On your side of the table, you should have the expertise to develop a projection/benchmark of your costs for each option the service providers will be proposing. The needs of your end users have changed dramatically the past 20 months and will continue to change as firms modify their return-to-office strategy and the impact it will have on the services being outsourced.
“Now more than ever, firms must know how to structure and negotiate their outsourcing agreements. Less than a third of firms were successful outsourcing prior to the pandemic, and new variables and trends have further complicated the path to success.”
2. Create a Competitive Situation
Regardless of whether your firm is pleased with your current service provider, facing a renewal or outsourcing for the first time, creating a competitive situation will optimize the pricing and terms offered.
3. The Right Contract Terms
Crafting the optimal contract with the right terms and conditions is paramount for a successful outsourcing operation. To name a few:
- Maintaining control over the labor in the event of cancellation or termination without financial penalties
- Detailed performance standards with financial penalties for nonperformance
- Detailed monthly reporting
- Guaranteed savings
4. Expertise — Hire It If You Don’t Have It
The most successful outsourced operations are the ones where there is expertise on both sides of the table.
5. Ongoing Management
An outsourced operation must be managed just like any in-house operation. Implement a system that allows you to monitor the operation without getting into the weeds. That is what you are paying them for.
As the practice of outsourcing and the services being outsourced continue to expand, it will be paramount that firms electing to outsource do it “right” the first time and choose the best service provider to form an ongoing, mutually beneficial partnership. | <urn:uuid:6ed85f6d-5df1-4f42-a39e-3a08b275479b> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://matternassoc.com/how-to-outsource-post-covid-19-world/ | 2023-10-04T20:53:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.9394 | 1,151 |
BLUE LEATHER DESK
In the commissioning client’s office a large union jack was emblazoned across an end wall, a lot of metres away on the opposite end, an equally large stars and stripes balanced its companion. The flags are a very obvious signal to all who work and visit this space, that what goes on within it is of equal importance to both Britain and the USA. The owner of the business had an interest in Bauhaus design. His brief was to design some desks that worked with this but maybe softened it a bit. The timber used had to be American walnut, from woodland that’s considerably better and sustainably run than most British plantations. Three of the desks had marmoleum (97% flax) writing surfaces, whilst the one that the office was run from, was a rich burr walnut with a surface in blue leather with exquisite, orange hand-stitched borders by MacGregor & Michael. These four desks and a low table are the opening salvo in this fruitful trans Atlantic liaison. | <urn:uuid:e6a4c2da-a3e9-4440-b0d3-82c4294783bf> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://matthewburt.com/furniture/desks/blue-leather-desk/ | 2023-10-04T19:47:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.976911 | 221 |

Arbor Day at Meadow Lakes
“The best friend on Earth of man is the tree. When we use the tree respectfully and economically, we have one of the greatest resources on the earth.” ― Frank Lloyd Wright
Arbor Day is celebrated every year on the last Friday in April. This holiday is focused on the significance of trees and the immense benefits they bring to our lives and the world around us. At Meadow Lakes, Arbor Day is an especially important holiday. Our continuing care retirement community is located on a beautiful accredited arboretum, and we take pride in our community’s unique connection to nature.
What is Arbor Day?
Arbor Day is an annual celebration recognizing the importance of trees in our lives. The holiday first started in 1872 when a tree enthusiast, Julius Sterling Morton, encouraged Nebraska City, Nebraska, to plant trees. Thousands of neighbors came together that day to plant trees, and children even formed a parade in celebration. Within 20 years of the first celebrated Arbor Day, the holiday was recognized in every American state. Many states now designate this day as a time to learn more about trees and plant trees within the community.
Why is Arbor Day Important?
Arbor Day offers us the opportunity to step back and learn more about the powerful effects of trees. Trees offer the necessities of life itself; they clean our air, give homes to wildlife and help to create healthy communities. Nature is also extremely beneficial to a person’s health; some positive effects of nature include physical health benefits, socialization opportunities and a general increase in wellbeing.
Alternative Arbor Day Celebration Ideas
This year, Arbor Day looks a little different. Although we may not be able to get together in groups or attend events to celebrate, there are alternative ways you’re able to still take time out of your day to appreciate nature.
- Read a book or poem about trees.
- Spend some time on the Arbor Day Foundation website to learn more about this holiday.
- Take a walk outside.
- Plant a tree in your yard.
- Paint or draw a picture of a tree.
- Research different types of trees and learn to identify them.
When we’re able to fully enjoy each other’s company again, get a group together to volunteer at a local organization dedicated to tree and plant care. Arbor Day may only be celebrated for one day, but we’re able to carry the sentiment and celebration with us year-round.

We've all seen the movies. Someone opens a closet to grab something important, only to have stuff fall into a huge mess as they open the door. It makes for laughs on TV, but it's best avoided during emergencies. This article will show you first aid kit hacks to keep you organized and efficient.
First aid kit hacks are about finding ways to make your first aid kit and emergency care more intuitive. It's about putting on your detective hat and asking: what will slow me down in an emergency? How can I make this process better?
Maybe you've got a great first aid kit with high-quality emergency supplies. Blue ribbon for you! But, before we get carried away into the clouds of victory, let's make sure there aren't any hidden evils ready to rain on your parade.
7 Hacks for a Better First Aid Kit
Emergencies are weird. They aren't like preparing for an exam. For a test, all you need to do is study hard, and be sure to bring your mechanical pencil and pink eraser.
However, imagine that, while taking the biggest exam of your life, instead of a nice quiet library - where there's a teacher watching, ready to stomp out anyone who dares break the code of silence - instead of this calming oasis, imagine that a drill sergeant is screaming in your ear during the entire test. Sounds a little difficult, doesn't it.
Let's come back to earth. What am I talking about? People tend to forget that they will need to prepare even beyond competence for an emergency - they will need to overcome the fight or flight response (not easy) and concentrate on the mission.
Simply put, when making a first aid kit, you need to keep it simple. You need to realize your mind will be playing tricks on you, and you'll have to overcome it.
Here are seven ways to hack your first aid kit:
- Zipper pulls
- Rip tabs (or pre-open)
- Clear labeling
- Organize in order of importance and compartments
Let's look at these hacks in more depth. As you'll see, many of these tricks are simple - but they can make a big difference. Remember, small problems in "normal" life become big problems during an emergency.
Think zippers are easy to grab? To some people, they are. However, others have a bona fide zipper-grabbing illness. I'll admit, sometimes those little buggers are hard to find!
During an emergency, the last thing you want to do is waste any time trying to find or grab a zipper. Remember, your hands may be covered in blood if you're in the middle of an emergency - at the least, your fingers will be shaking and sweaty. So, don't laugh. I've witnessed my share of zipper-fumbles, and just like watching your super-bowl team drop the football, they are heart-wrenching.
Now that I've convinced you that this is a real problem, here's how you fix it.
Get some zipper pulls or make some yourself. Zipper pulls are often neon-colored and sometimes glow in the dark (we wouldn't forget our black-ops friends).
Place them on your first aid kit zippers, and you'll never worry about it.
Tip: it's also common practice to "stage" your zippers. Don't push them off to one side of the zipper. Instead, place them in the middle, where they're easily seen and grasped.
Another tip: Don't ever use a first aid kit with cheap zippers! A broken zipper is a travesty that I wouldn't wish on friend or foe.
In the same tradition as zippers, it's also easy to fumble opening the packaging of many medical supplies - for all the same reasons: blood, sweat, it's dark, it's raining, hands are trembling, and someone is screaming.
So, it's best to take action before you have a problem. How?
You can do two things. First, you can pre-open anything that doesn't need to be in a vacuum-sealed container. Chest seals, hemostatic gauze, and anything that needs to remain relatively clean should be left in its original containers. However, some things, like dressings, bandages, and tourniquets can be pre-opened with little issue.
Second, you can attach pull tabs for those things that cannot be pre-opened. Duct tape works pretty well. Just place a strip of tape across the recommended "tear here" location and fold it across. You'll find that the tape is easier to grab and makes a cleaner tear.
Note: Always pre-open and stage your tourniquets! Watch this video to see how to stage a tourniquet the right way.
We label things in the kitchen because we don't want to accidentally place salt in the cookies instead of sugar. Well, you should also label things in your emergency kit. You don't want to be rifling through the airway supplies when you need something for bleeding control!
You can label your pack however you'd like; just make sure it's clear and that the average seven-year-old could read and understand it. That means, instead of writing "hemorrhage control," write "stop the bleed." Even if you understand some medical jargon, it's best to prepare for a situation where you'll need to direct someone non-medical on how to use the kit.
Using medical patches can help too!
In addition to clear labeling, it's smart to think about redundancy. How does this work?
Redundancy follows the "two is one and one is none" principle. You should always have a backup plan. This applies on a small and a large scale.
For example, don't just have one first aid kit in your car, have one in the kitchen, one in the car, and one near the front door. That's redundancy.
On a smaller scale, don't just have one tourniquet in the med kit in your car. It might also be helpful to have one in the glove box and one in your pocket.
Redundancy isn't always practical; however, there are ways to do this, even if you need to carry minimal gear.
If you learn to improvise and tourniquet and a pressure bandage, you're giving yourself a layer of redundancy without carrying more gear. While improvisation is great to know and incredibly useful at times, it shouldn't be your primary source of first aid care.
Take some time to learn advanced techniques for bleeding control. Once you know how to use your hands to control a bleed, you'll be much more effective at controlling a major hemorrhage. Here's an article on bleeding control. It discusses some of the common misconceptions.
Maybe you don't have the cash for fifteen first aid kits. Understandable. However, there are ways to stretch a single first aid kit if needed.
Perhaps, you only have one fully stocked first aid kit in your home. How do you stretch its use? Well, instead of filling each compartment of the kit with different things, you might also place a smaller kit within the kit (sort of like the nesting dolls your grandma likes). When you leave the house, you grab the smaller kit (containing the essentials) and bring it to the car.
What about when you leave the car? Well, maybe you have an even smaller kit within your car kit - something like a pocket trauma kit or an ankle first aid kit - now when you leave the car, you can conceal an even smaller kit with the bare-bones essentials, like a tourniquet and gauze.
Just an idea. It's probably not ideal all the time but creating some modularity in your kit can be helpful.
Organization and Order of Packing
Should the splint be at the top of the kit? What about the CPR mask? How about the tourniquet? When you first open that first aid kit, what's the first thing you should see?
Think about the order of importance when organizing and packing your first aid kit. Remember the M.A.R.CH pneumonic - Massive bleeding is the most deadly injury, so tourniquets and bleeding supplies should be at the top. Airways supplies are the next most important, and so on.
Don't stuff your kit like a jack-in-the-box - you don't want it popping open at the wrong times. Getting a good medical bag is essential for a quality first aid kit. You don't want the bag too small.
Final Thoughts on First Aid Kit Tips, Tricks & Hacks
What tips and tricks do you know for first aid kits? If you have any, share your hacks with us. It's helpful to learn. As you build your first aid kit, put on your engineer cap and ask: how could I make this better? What are the problem points?
Remember, emergencies will make small inconveniences a BIG problem.
Don't neglect training. Take the time to learn how to perform good first-aid - bleeding control, rescue breathing, and good CPR - these are the three skills to focus on. Contrary to popular opinion, they are difficult skills to perform well (sure, you can learn them in a day, but it takes many hours of training to master these primary skills).

The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine issues guidance on informal milk sharing
In response to the increasing informal sharing of human milk, the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine (ABM) has published guidelines to minimize the risk of this practice while enhancing the health benefits. The position statement is published in Breastfeeding Medicine, the official journal of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine.
"Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine's 2017 Position Statement on Informal Breast Milk Sharing for the Term Healthy Infant" discusses strategies to maximize the safety of community-based breast milk sharing, including 1) medical screening of the donor and 2) safe milk handling practices. Donors should have no medical illness where breastfeeding is contraindicated nor on any medication that is incompatible with breastfeeding. Mothers can further reduce the risk of infections by performing home pasteurization of donated milk prior to giving it to her infant; however, pasteurization can decrease some of the beneficial components of human milk. ABM also emphasizes that while informal milk sharing has potential health benefit, "internet-based milk sharing is not recommended under any circumstances."
"Informal breast milk sharing is becoming increasingly common for healthy term infants as 21st century families desire to feed their infants human milk," says Dr. Timothy Tobolic, president of ABM. "Physicians and other health care providers can help mothers and families evaluate the risks and benefits of informal milk sharing."

Remember the Summer of Smash? 2022’s fall season is set to be the “Autumn of Smash.” It starts with this October – perhaps the most stacked month in Melee history. Between last weekend’s Lost Tech City, The Big House, the Off-Season, DreamHack Rotterdam, and the Ludwig Smash Invitational, you can barely get a moment’s notice to breath before another big event happens. By the way, did I mention that Summit is returning at the beginning of November? Be ready for campaigns to start.
An update regarding the Summit voting process…

— Beyond the Smash (@BTSsmash) September 28, 2022
Today’s Monday Morning Marth is dedicated to everyone’s favorite open event of the fall: The Big House 10. Similar to what I did for Double Down, I’m going to dive into the eight players who could feasibly win The Big House. More specifically, I will be making the case for – and against – each of them to win, as well as giving my “guesstimate” odds.
NOTE: I have not accounted for seeding or projected brackets in this column for odds. Those typically change during the week of the event, and there would be too much to adjust for. Treat my “odds” here as general ballpark numbers.
The Case For and Against aMSa
Outside of aMSa, not many people can say that they have beaten each of Zain, iBDW, Jmook, Hungrybox, and Leffen in their career. Historically speaking, aMSa’s more or less, trended upward. In 2018, aMSa made multiple top eights, finishing No. 7 in the world in the following year. He then withstood a whole pandemic to place in the Top 6 of the 2021 PGRContenders list, and maintained the No. 6 spot on the most recent Summer MPGR. In July, he got his first ever major second place, and in August, he won Fete 2, the biggest tournament win of his career. Isn’t winning a supermajor the natural next step?
But it’s not enough that aMSa ‘can’ beat people in the top level. To win a major, he needs to beat all of them in a row. That’s still a long shot considering he still has career losing records vs. Zain, Hungrybox, iBDW, Leffen, Plup, and, yes, even Mango, whom he’s beaten in their two most recent sets. I’m not even sure we should expect aMSa to beat Jmook again given how it took one day for Jmook to win a runback with Axe. By the way, this is assuming aMSa gets that far. This is the closest he has ever been to winning a major, and it’s still incredibly unlikely. Truthfully speaking, aMSa winning The Big House 10 would be the most miraculous feat in the history of Melee.
The Edwin Odds – 50:1
The Case For and Against Plup
Other than Genesis 8, where he lost to the greatest underdog run to second place ever and Ginger, Plup has shown a lot of promise. In his other events, he’s beaten Zain, held off aMSa, whooped lloD, and gone back-and-forth with Hungrybox (4-3 in tournament sets in 2022). What I remember most, however, fondly is Plup Showdown. Here, he gave Mew2King (for whatever it’s worth), iBDW, and Hungrybox the hands. The last part warrants further mention. Historically speaking, Hungrybox has been the guy that’s ruined Plup’s chances the most. This year has told a different story. If Plup can maintain an advantage against his career kryptonite, the sky’s the limit.
The thing is, Plup’s the player whom I trust the numbers least on. It always feels like something random happens that I can’t draw a conclusion from. After I predicted him to win Genesis, he lost to Ginger for 13th place. He then randomly dropped a set to Magi at CEO before obliterating her in their next three sets. It’s as if his upset losses just happen in a vacuum, having no predictive value whatsoever, but existing for two reasons: to infuriate anyone trying to guess how well Plup will do and to stop him from winning a supermajor. For whatever it’s worth, The Big House has also typically brought heartbreak or disappointment to Plup. He flamed out of top eight at The Big House 9 (losing to SFAT and Fiction), he was upset early by Bananas at The Big House 8, he had a potential coronation ruined at The Big House 7, he fell at the hands of Zain and Shroomed for 17th at The Big House 6, and he exited The Big House 5 at 13th place. Granted – all of this is totally irrelevant to Plup’s chances in 2022. But what isn’t?
The Edwin Odds – 9:1
The Case For and Against Leffen
Nobody returns with a statement performance quite like Leffen. You don’t have to look far back to find one – watch Leffen utterly beat down Joshman, aMSa, Hungrybox, and Zain at Battle of BC 4. It was one of the most incredible tournament runs in recent memory, and it came after a relatively terrible two-event stretch for Leffen where he looked totally washed. With a peak like the one he showed in Canada, Leffen is always going to be a threat at any tournament he enters. I’ll go a step further: it was the best singular major performance that anyone has showed all year.
Unfortunately, one tournament doesn’t define a player. The fact of the matter is that Leffen’s only given us three events this year. If the case for Leffen involves saying that he does well vs. Zain and Hungrybox, we have to admit that we have no reason to expect him to just as convincingly beat everyone else in this group of players. The last time I can remember something comparable to precedent for Leffen winning this upcoming Big House would be PPMD winning Apex, going AWOL from majors for five months, and then winning SKTAR 3 five months later. I find it hard to believe something like that could happen in 2022, let alone for someone who has never won a Big House and hasn’t won multiple majors in a year since 2016.
The Edwin Odds – 9:1
The Case For and Against Jmook
There is no greater story at the top level of 2022 Melee than the rise of Jmook. In half a year’s time, Jmook has become a fan favorite with competitive results across the field. Who else is 4-3 with Zain, 1-1 vs. iBDW and Plup alike, 2-1 vs. Mango, and up 1-0 over Leffen? The one “upset” loss that Jmook suffered this year before winner’s top eight was to Axe, whom he soundly beat in the runback at the same tournament. A Jmook major victory seems inevitable.
Dr. K raided my stream today POG pic.twitter.com/V9eI8rrh86
— FLY | Jmook (@jakedirado) September 19, 2022
With this in mind, there is also one head-to-head that every Jmook fan has to acknowledge: 1-7 against Hungrybox. Save for an unusually convincing sweep at Shine, Jmook has been handily trounced by Hungrybox the entire year. One losing head-to-head obviously doesn’t disqualify someone, but it’s practically stopped Jmook from winning a major multiple times. If he keeps running into him, at what point does it become essential for him to be able to defeat him in order to win? Another challenge is that while I think his head-to-heads are very good, I don’t think Jmook has an especially ‘reliable’ path to first place in the way that other people in his caliber do. There’s no one he dominates; even his favorable matchups still feel like coin flips.
The Edwin Odds – 9:1
The Case For and Against Mango
For starters, we just saw Mango win Lost Tech City. About a month and a half before that, he won Smash Con. Even more promising has been his recent stretch of success vs. Hungrybox; as Mango has taken three of their last four sets. Those who are especially attentive will also know that Mango’s won each of his runbacks vs. players who had beaten him earlier in the year: KoDoRiN, Fiction, and lloD. Is The Big House 10 the official revenge tour for the reigning Big House champion; for the guy who has won more Big House tournaments than anyone in Melee history?
In all likelihood, probably not. For starters, Mango vs. Zain this year has looked hopeless for Mango fans. He’s is 0-3 in sets and 0-9 in games against his rival. Being mincemeat for the current world No. 1 surely drops your odds at winning The Big House. A 1-2 record vs. Jmook and another loss to iBDW in their only also doesn’t inspire much confidence. Put together, Mango is 6-10 against the eight players I’m discussing in this column. He will likely have to win three sets against this tier of players to win any supermajor, let alone this one. To be fair, he literally did that last weekend, but it’s worth pumping the brakes on expecting it happening again.
The Edwin Odds: 6:1
The Case For and Against Hungrybox
There is a real possibility that Hungrybox will end No. 1 again for a fourth time in the modern era. As I mentioned before, being 7-1 against Jmook has played a huge role in Hungrybox being tied for the lead in winning big events this year (GOML, Wavedash, and Riptide). So has having a winning record vs. Mango (4-3), aMSa (2-0), and, undeniably, Hungrybox’s commitment to attending majors. With so many events he attends, he also has individual sets over iBDW, Zain, and Wizzrobe. Even vs. his demons, you can’t count Hungrybox out.
I want you to note that 7-1 record vs. Jmook down though. When Hungrybox hasn’t had a path with Jmook in it this year, he hasn’t seen the same kind of success. Take, for instance, his ho-hum Genesis, where n0ne and iBDW eliminated him, or his even worse CEO 2022, where KJH and Plup sent him home. I’d add that while you can’t totally count Hungrybox out vs. iBDW or Zain, those two are still strong favorites to beat him. Both are up 4-1 in each of their last five offline sets vs. him. That’s not even going into Leffen, who has thrashed Hungrybox seemingly on command for the last two years. It’s not impossible for Hungrybox to beat Leffen, but even if he does, having to deal with a field that isn’t just “Jmook and person who Jmook beats” is going to be significantly more challenging; a feat more like his GOML victory. Could he really repeat that again?
The Edwin Odds: 5:1
The Case For and Against iBDW
Earlier this year, I wrote that iBDW was “the one Fox player who’s not a heavy underdog vs. Zain.” Want to know what happened after that? He won Double Down and then kicked the crap out of Zain to win Phantom 2022. Merely remaining competitive with Zain, let alone destroying him like he did in Australia, is a huge boost to iBDW’s chances of winning any major. The same goes for if iBDW can maintain winning records over Hungrybox, Mango, aMSa, and Plup.
As strong as iBDW (mostly) looked in his run of four majors from Summit to Phantom, we’ve also seen him drop the ball vs. the field this year. You can’t totally dismiss real losses he’s had to the likes of Aklo, KoDoRiN, Joshman, and Krudo this year. It’s also worth noting that The Big House 10 is iBDW’s first event back after three months, due to his health issues. Like I said with Leffen, I don’t think it’s as probable as it used to be to take a break from competing and return with an immediate win.
The Edwin Odds – 5:1
The Case For and Against Zain
It’s not rocket science to say that Zain could win The Big House. Holding victories at Genesis, Pound, and Shine, Zain arguably won three of the four most prestigious open events of the year, tying him for highest number of wins with iBDW and Hungrybox. Better yet, he’s just won two sets in a row over his career demon. What else does he need to do to get the benefit of the doubt?
— Zain (@ZainNaghmi) September 19, 2022
Well, he needs to win more. When the stakes are potentially winning one of the largest majors of the year, the margin for error becomes that much more slim. Though Zain broke his slump by winning Shine, it’s worth noting that his stretch of not winning events wasn’t solely attributable to Leffen, Jmook, and Plup. In the six consecutive events he didn’t win, lloD, iBDW, SluG, Wally, and S2J all took sets. The truth about Zain is that even his “good” matchups are not a guaranteed win for him.

The following is a press release issued by the Mendocino County District Attorney’s Office:
A Mendocino County Superior Court jury returned from efficient deliberations Tuesday afternoon to announce it had found the trial defendant guilty as charged.
Defendant Hazzar Arafad Navarro Torres, age 37, of Willits, was found guilty of inflicting corporal injury on his spouse, said offense occurring in March of this year.
The law enforcement agency that responded and investigated the circumstances surrounding the victim’s 9-1-1 call for help was the Mendocino County Sheriff’s Office.
The prosecutor who prepared the case for trial and presented the People’s evidence to the jury was Deputy District Attorney Nathan Mamo.
Mendocino County Superior Court Judge Carly Dolan presided over a basically one-day trial spread over two days.
After the jury was excused, the Court sentenced the defendant to thirty-six months of supervised probation, the statutory minimum required for crimes involving domestic violence.
As terms of that probation, the defendant was ordered to serve fifteen days in the Low Gap jail, complete twenty-five hours of community service, and enroll in and complete a 52-week Domestic Violence Batter’s Intervention Program.
He was also ordered to abstain from the use of both cannabis and alcohol. Most importantly, he was ordered to stay away from and have no contact with the victim.
Any defendant convicted of a domestic violence crime is prohibited by both Federal and State law from possessing any firearm and/or ammunition for at least ten years. | <urn:uuid:c510fbd1-9c04-495b-ae85-2d0d95a22925> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mendofever.com/2023/08/09/willits-man-found-guilty-of-domestic-abuse/ | 2023-10-04T20:54:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.966663 | 325 |
The media, the government, and the inexperienced people always say “VIDEO GAMES CAUSE VIOLENCE” when, in fact, it is the complete opposite. First of all, do not believe in the lies saying gaming influences violent acts; that’s like saying rock n’ roll cause violence. If you are looking for online gaming to change your mood, you should try Roblox, where you can play many games made by different people. It would be best to use various Roblox scripts to play the game.
On the contrary, video games are surprisingly beneficial for both mental and physical health. If anything, video games even help the disabled in more ways than one – which we’ll discuss later on. Alas, here are the 5 great health benefits you can get from playing video games.
1. Video Games Reduce Stress and Anxiety
In a world where everything seems so fast and pressuring, a person can only take so much until he/she takes a dive into a mental breakdown. Much like watching Netflix, spending hours watching cat videos, listening to music while you close your eyes and going out with friends for a movie, video games are just another form of entertainment, No offense to the baby boomers but video games are more than just shooty-shooty bang-bang blood and violence.
Video games are all about engaging the player into their own worlds, their own stories, their own atmosphere. It’s a plunge into another world – one where we forget about reality and focus on a different realm. It’s a surreal experience, really. In exchange, the player releases endorphins much like exercising or smiling at something entertaining.
However, this only applies to story-driven and single-player games. Competitive multiplayer games are… shall we say, unpredictable in a way that they may either stress you out more or make you feel good depending if you win or lose a heated game.
2. Video Games Suppress Depression
Let’s face it – the biggest mental dilemma with millennials and gen z people is depression. Suicide rates have significantly increased compared to 20 years ago and one of the main causes is depression.
A lot of gamers suffer this and it’s quite sad. But do you know what stops them from ending their lives? Video games. You can see a lot of stories telling us how Skyrim cured their depression or why Stardew Valley was their key to happiness. If you look at it, video games are more miraculous than destructive.
It’s all in the engagement between the game and the player. The scripts, the gameplay, the visuals, even the music plays a pivotal role in making a player smile even for a bit.
One of the problems of depression is due to isolation and the sense of loneliness. But through video games, players get to discover friends – or, to an extent – even love.
For some, life is worth living because of the games they play. Except for League of Legends though – that game will just make you sad. Okay, I was just kidding. Unless…
3. Video Games Strengthen Skills for Real Life
Gaming can open our minds to discovering and even improving the skills we have. Yes, games are healthy in the sense that they help us improve our productivity in real life, whether it’s for school, work, family or just for yourself.
Competitive games help the player improve awareness and quicker reflexes – two forms of muscle memory that applies passively into a player’s life when he/she is occupied with something else.
The artistry of games helps in expanding the creative mind of the player. Both music and visuals initiate a sense of inspiration for those that appreciate art and craft.
Building your own PC can teach you in becoming independent since you don’t need a service guy to do the building for you. Another involves efficient researching and eyeing on the fine details of a product. For example, what’s the most cost-efficient computer case that looks sleek enough while large enough to contain all the specs? Another good example is checking out the best Radeon video cards; there are a lot of AMD cards but which is right for your money and enough graphical beef to make you satisfied? Speaking of, do click here to check out the best RTX 2080 right now.
4. Video Games Provide Exercise
Who said gaming is just sitting down for hours? Games like Just Dance, Wii Fit and Wii Sports offer a truckload of physically beneficial exercises for all ages. There’s a reason why the Nintendo Wii is a hit for the elderly.
Today’s VR games also encourage standing up and getting your body to move. Pavlov VR and Beat Saber are two good examples.
5. Video Games Provide Help for Autism and Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Much like the games from #4, physical-based games like Just Dance, Wii Fit and Wii Sports offer benefits for the MS patients and the autistic. Such games help in maintaining their balance and minimize spazzing and moving constantly. The easy-to-learn directions and combination of fun and exercise attribute to the patients becoming better.
And That’s Why Video Games are Good
If you’re not looking at the nonsense triple-A games full of product placements and broken gameplay, you’ll find plenty of reasons why a lot of video games are good for the mind, body, and soul. What say you, media? What now, government? Games do not cause violence and that’s a fact. Here are some of the best video games that hit the world by storm in the 90s that you might also want to play. | <urn:uuid:eed05eb0-450d-4e33-af93-9d8ea0cb049e> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mentalitch.com/5-amazing-health-benefits-of-playing-video-games/ | 2023-10-04T18:54:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.941933 | 1,166 |
Always a good day will start after a better night with a good night’s sleep. We are well aware that a night of turning and tossing is nearly followed by the coffee-fueled day, nodding off on the table and heading back for the bed before the sunsets.
It includes having proper bed linen, bedding, and a proper mattress for yourself. Maybe you cannot think that bed linen can affect your healthy sleep, so we will fill you in on this blog on why you should treat yourself to cozy cotton single bed linen to reap bedtime benefits.
Also, we all tend to look for a mix of both comfort and looks in one go. The biggest USP of cotton single bed sheets is that, it provides both under one head. The icing on the cake is that, they are also super affordable to purchase.
So, in this blog, we are giving you some benefits of using single cotton bed sheets.
It is breathable:
Cotton is a natural and pure material, and it means that when entwine into the bedding set, it can make the fabric very much breathable. Each night your body temperature becomes changes as you fall asleep. This can result in waking up sticky, hot, and also desperate for cool air. But cotton can absorb all heat from the body through the whole night and allow you to stay dry and cool.
Also, it can help you stay cool in summer, and single cotton bedding will help make you warm in winter by retaining and absorbing body heat. Suppose you are sleeping in a manufactured material such as polyester. In that case, they will absorb your body heat rather than natural ventilating, so the fabric will help retain heat, and you will struggle to cool down.
It will be very soft for your skin:
There is no best feeling than bounding into clean and fresh cotton sheets. If you are in trouble with sensitive skin, then you will also want to avoid the irritation for the whole night as much as possible. Naturally, cotton is hypoallergenic, so it has a limited association with allergies and would not cause any itchiness or irritation and also gives you a night of quality sleep.
It does not need so much maintenance:
It is totally like a myth which is floating around the cotton needs a huge maintaining. But the fact is that there is no hand washing, hours of ironing, or drying. Maximum cotton linen goes directly into the machine and also be washed at forty degrees. You have to keep in mind that you should not mix cotton sheets with other non-textiles. It should be passed along for all time. There is no requirement of fancy detergent for washing your cotton bed sheets, and even you can easily pop it in a dryer at low temperature.
Why are you waiting for? Gift yourself quality sleeping by changing your bedsheets into a single cotton bed sheet. And quality sleep can give you an excellent morning, which will make your day more amazing. | <urn:uuid:422a985d-82c3-4e1b-8bb6-2cf050f47900> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mezoka.com/why-do-people-consider-having-cotton-single-bed-sheets/ | 2023-10-04T20:54:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.954808 | 618 |
- The live meeting conferencing functionality will be rolled into Communicator “14″. There will be one client, Communicator, for all media modalities and the associated features.
- There will be a new Silverlight-based web client available
for those users wanting to joing a web conference, but don’t have the
rich Communicator client installed. This is a new client and not a
replacement for Communicator Web Access.
- When a user clicks to join a meeting from a link, it detects whether the Communicator client is installed. If it is not, you can join via the Silverlight client.
- Participation via the Silverlight client is anonymous (i.e there is no sign-in required). This is a powerfull feature that will make it a whole lot easier for external (to your organization) attendees join a meeting.
- MCS 14 will federate with Windows Live “Wave 4″ and will support Audio and Video with Windows Live Messenger contacts.
- All MCS 14 features were designed ground-up to work on-premise,
cloud, or hybrid:
- both in terms of supporting a percentage of MCS users on-premise, in the cloud, and,
- in terms of having some or all Exchange & SharePoint services in the cloud
- Supported virtualization for all server roles in MCS 14 (with the normal audio and video caveats; i.e. you must closely follow the virtualization guidelines to support audio and video, and even then it could be more suceptible to jitter and latency)
- The MCS 14 will support a media bypass feature which will allow a consolidated
MCS “14″ front-end server to go direct SIP to a supported IP-PBX’s
without having to through a mediation server when the call is
going to a locally dialed PSTN number.
- the Media by-pass, coupled with the branch office survivability will remove the need for Mediation servers in most local or branch sites (in most cases)
- Multiple SIP Gateways can be connected to one Mediation server.
- Communicator “14″ will support the G.711 codec and will be able to talk to certified MCS “14″ media Gateways to go out local PSTN access points.
- The visual Presence circle is changing to a square in Communicator “14″! :-)
Office Communicator “14″
- Many new features nicely summarized in this Microsoft Showcase video: What’s New in Microsoft Communicator “14″.
- A new Silverlight web-based management console
(Communication Server Control Panel) that is built on a new set of
Communications Server PowerShell cmdlets.
- Support for Role Based Access Control administration (similar to Exchange 2010)
- Support for cut-and-paste in the UI (i.e. easily copy Normalization Rules)
- Can easily see all the Policies (i.e. Voice, Conferencing, Client) for a particular user in one place
- A new Central Management Store (CMS)
- a central database the holds XML documents that describe your deployment
- all topology changes get written to the CMS, and a read-only copy is pushed to all servers in the topology
- the topology is pushed out via a file transfer agent and via HTTPS for the the Edge role
- New tools to help with certificates!
- New support for ’server maintenance’ – a server can be put into maintenance mode for O/S and hardware maintenance
- New PowerShell cmdlet’s
- Everything in the new UI can be done through PowerShell
- Cmdlets to manage users, configuration, devices, policies
- Support for synthetic transactions (test phone calls, sip registrations, simple conferencing)
- More support for role collocation. More roles, including the Mediation role and CWA, can be installed with the Front-End
- A new “Site” topology entity which can be used to represent a geographic boundary such as a center or branch location. A site contains one or more pools
- Similar roles as OCS 2007 R2 (i.e. a backend role that defines a pool, Edge Mediation, AV Conferencing, Archiving, Monitoring, Director, Group Chat)
- The Director role now streamlined and includes a local SQL Express database – removing the need for a separate back-end SQL database.
- The concept of Standard and Enterprise edition still exists
- Support for DNS load balancing within a pool
- New Topology Builder UI which helps you build your topology document
- Support for the virtualization of almost all roles
- Client virtualization support is similar to Communicator 2007 R2 (i.e. IM and application sharing but audio/video is not supported)
- Cannot virtualize the new branch office workload
- New SCOM 2007 R2 management pack:
- Support for synthetic transactions (monitor the user experience)
- Media quality alerts
- Call failure alerts

TOWN OF WALLKILL – A local man is charged with failing to provide proper food, water and veterinary care to 11 calves and eight cows tied in a barn on Seaman Road in the Town of Wallkill. All animals appeared substantially underweight.
James Judson, 42, of Wallkill, admitted the animals needed care and the barn where they animals were tied had not been cleaned of excrement in eight months.
He was charged with several counts of cruelty to animals.
Persons with additional information are encouraged to contact the Law Enforcement Division of the SPCA or Town of Wallkill Police, which jointly investigated this case. | <urn:uuid:8edc94be-0bf9-456c-a8ad-9c818c97d858> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://midhudsonnews.com/2018/06/09/town-of-wallkill-man-accused-of-abusing-farm-animals/ | 2023-10-04T19:21:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.971872 | 132 |
Ideally suited for horizontal pulling of one or more cables. Where several persons are needed for higher pulling loads on many sites, one person is sufficient to pull in the cables with the CW 800 E capstan winch by RUNPOTEC with a choice of 800 kg or 400 kg. The capstan winch can be fixed via the mounting holes or attached to solid objects with the enclosed strap. The trolley mounting rail also offers a very practical fastening option. It can be attached to the trailer hitch of a vehicle through the special coupling opening. It is also possible to mount the rail horizontally or vertically, and then simply hook in the CW 800 E capstan winch and fasten it using the two fixing bolts. Safety instructions: Not suitable for vertical cable pulling, must not be used to carry or lift loads or persons.

The saying goes, “All Trappist beers are Abbey beers, but not all Abbey beers are Trappist beers.”
Abbey beers historically refer to monastic life. They are generally high fermentation beers.
Today there are only 11 Trappist breweries in the world. The ATP acronym for Authentic Trappist Product guarantees compliance with the fermentation and brewing specifications and the authenticity of the product. It is made exclusively by or under the aegis of Trappist monks (Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance). And the beers must be brewed in or near an abbey.
Actually, whether it is an abbey or a Trappist beer, these beers are characterized by their high alcohol content (between 6 and 12°) and a beautiful blond or brown colour. They are distinguished by a quitte bitter taste, as well as slightly roasted notes.
Among the abbey beers, there are single, double or triple.
The simple ones are the lightest in density and alcohol and were drunk by monks, as “table beers”.
The doubles, also called Dubbel or “double grains”, are made with more malt, which gives a denser and more alcoholic result (around 7°).
The triples or “tripel” or triple grain, are produced with even more malt and therefore more alcohol (around 9°), and were historically offered to guests.
These beers are best enjoyed in chalice glasses at a higher temperature (between 6° and 10°). | <urn:uuid:b2567e7b-ce8e-4586-8573-2ff40988159f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://migs.wine/trappist-beers/ | 2023-10-04T20:14:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.957255 | 326 |
You try reasoning with yourself, but after a few moments you give up. Now that it is on your mind, it is obvious that sleep will not come until you cover up your transgression.
You slip out of bed and shudder. Whether this is a result of the cold surface beneath your feet or the thrashing that you will receive if you are caught, you cannot be certain. Crouching down next to your bed you retrieve the chest containing your few possessions and fish out your sword belt. After fastening it belt around your waist, you slide your sheathed sword through the attached loop.
Years of training have asserted themselves without conscious effort on your part. You never travel anywhere – even to the privy – without a weapon.
Taking the tome from the desk and gently closing it, you tuck it down the front of your shirt, hissing slightly as the cool leather cover comes into contact with your skin. Before setting out, you decide to employ some of your knowledge of the Old Arts to aid you on your mission.
You close your eyes and search deep within yourself for the core of your being, a connection to an energy source far greater than yourself. After a few moments, you feel the power rising within you. Years of practice enable you to coax it to life and bend it to your will. Two minutes later, you open your eyes and look down at yourself.
Your outline seems to waver and blend in with the stone floor beneath you. Experimentally, you raise a leg and then stamp your foot on the floor. Instead of a loud slap, there is a sound like a sharp breath of air.
Excellent! Your Shrouding Spell has worked!
Easing the door to your room open, you slip out into the corridor and then shut the door firmly behind you. As any Minorus learns within their first week, the Master is particularly irked by anything halfway completed – and this includes leaving doors ajar!
Tiptoeing along the corridor you make your way towards the library, pausing at every intersection to listen carefully for any approaching footsteps. A few minutes later, your cautious approach pays off as you hear a patrolling guard approaching!
But there is nowhere to hide in the empty corridor! You have just enough time to flatten yourself against the wall and pray that your shrouding spell will keep you concealed! You can’t help but screw your eyes shut in fear as the guard approaches. Surely they would be able to hear your heart hammering away inside your chest!
A few tense moments pass and you hear the guard’s footsteps receding down the corridor. It worked! The guard passed a mere foot from you and didn’t even notice! Grinning from ear-to-ear as your heart resumes a more reasonable pace, you make your way to the library without further incident.
As you approach, you notice that the door to the library is ajar. You stand in the corridor outside, stunned by confusion. Who would dare? The library of all rooms?
A thought suddenly strikes you – someone might be inside!
This was bad!
But then again… there was no light spilling through from the open doorway. Perhaps the hapless person had left and simply forgotten to close the door properly – or they might have fallen asleep reading…
If anyone caught you with the tome, you would definitely suffer for it! Perhaps it would be a better idea to creep back to your room and try again in the morning. But there was no guarantee that you would be able to get to the library undetected in the morning with many more people awake and moving about.
It is too late to not take the book in the first place, so…
What do you do?

What travel insurance covers COVID-19?
Since COVID-19 went from being an “epidemic” to a “pandemic”, and especially following the travel warnings issued by the Government of Canada, most insurance companies have indicated that they no longer cover situations resulting from COVID-19.
Generally, it was from March 12, 2020 that insurance companies began to consider the COVID-19 pandemic as a known and uninsurable cause.
Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic is now a common knowledge situation. For insurance to come into play, however, the situation must be unknown, as Blue Cross explains:
Trip Cancellation/Trip Interruption Insurance covers you only if you have to interrupt your trip for a reason beyond your control and will, and which was unknown at the time your insurance contract took effect.
Except that when it comes to travel insurance, there are several components:
- trip cancellation or interruption insurance
- medical insurance
And it is on this second aspect that insurance companies have decided to be more flexible.
Trip Cancellation and Interruption Insurance
To the best of my knowledge, no insurance company currently offers trip cancellation/interruption insurance due to COVID-19. Not even the credit cards offering the best travel insurance on the market.
Therefore, if your trip must be cancelled (before departure) or interrupted (after departure) due to COVID-19, you will not be insured.
Medical care insurance
In terms of medical care insurance, a few insurance companies have decided to stand out by offering coverage related to COVID-19:
- Blue Cross (Quebec and Ontario)
- Caisse des Français de l’Étranger
So if you have to travel, I strongly advise you to turn to one of these companies. That’s what I did for my travel to France.
Here is what Quebec Bluc Cross told TVA:
Travellers are encouraged to follow the government’s advice to avoid non-essential travel abroad, but some people have no choice but to fly for family or business reasons. We simply ask them to be aware of the risks.Josiane Cousineau, responsable des relations publiques - Croix Bleue du Québec
On their website, Quebec Blue Cross offers several types of insurance:
- Annual Emergency Medical Care (medical care for one year with maximum travel times)
- Emergency Medical Care À la carte (medical care for the exact duration of your trip)
- All inclusive without cancellation (including luggage and public transport accident insurance)
All of these solutions offer hospitalization, medical and paramedical insurance up to $5 million. Out-of-country emergency medical care related to COVID-19 is covered, as long as you have not shown symptoms of the illness before your departure.
In less than 30 seconds, you can get a quote for your situation:
- Departure date
- Return date
- Your age
- Marital status
- Cost of travel
Annual Emergency Medical Care is the most interesting for me as a traveler. It covers you for one year, for an unlimited number of trips. The price difference depends on the maximum duration of each of your trips: 4, 8, 17, 31, 60, 90, 120, 150 or 180 days.
But you can also choose the À la carte version if you plan to travel only once in the next year.
Here are some simulations carried out for each of these situations:
- a single person,
- aged 35,
- traveling from Québec,
- with a $0 deductible.
|Duration in days||Annual||À la Carte||All inclusive without cancellation|
Personally, I decided to purchase the annual insurance covering trips of up to 31 days at a cost of $158.50. My stays abroad are generally from 2 to 3 weeks: with 31 days, I keep a safety margin.
Medipac is an insurance company that has decided to cover COVID-19. This company is very popular with the Snowbirds.
Here is what Medipac told TVA:
It is believed that Canadian travelers, especially Snowbirds, will overwhelmingly respect physical distance and protective measures (…) They won’t join the crowds on the beaches or in theme parks, but will stay quietly at home or go to the supermarket, which they already do anyway. Medipac does not consider COVID to be a significant risk.Christopher Davidge, porte-parole de Medipac Assurance Voyage
And this is what Medipac is posting on its home page to confirm that COVID-19 is covered:
After filling out some information, you will receive a Medipac travel insurance quote.
Here is an example, using the same situation of a 35 year old singleperson, travelling from Quebec, with a $0 deductible for a 30-day trip – non-smoker (criterion requested by Medipac):
- Premium Plus: $110.77
- Annual option (23 days): $182.27
However, the process is longer and more complicated than the Blue Cross one. In addition, the initial coverage is $2 million (compared to $5 million for Blue Cross). To upgrade to equivalent coverage, Medipac offers MedipacPlus for an additional $59.
Caisse des Francais de l'Étranger
Here is a last solution that will undoubtedly interest the French, many of whom read milesopedia.
The Caisse des Français de l’Étranger offers a COVID-19 ExpatSanté insurance.
Covid.19Expat Santé exclusively covers healthcare costs (according to the Table of Benefits) incurred abroad, related to the COVID-19 virus, for expatriates and their dependents.
This offer is for you:
- if you reside abroad;
- if you do not have a valid health contract at the CFE;
- if your medical expenses are related to Covid-19.
Membership is semi-annually and can be for a single person or a family.
In the case of a person aged 35, this cover amounts to 38 euros per month (or 228 euros per half year).
However, there are two important caveats:
- This insurance only covers COVID-19. Nothing else.
- This insurance covers you worldwide, but not in France.
If you live outside Quebec, World Nomads can offer you an interesting insurance, in partnership with milesopedia:
Chances are that over the coming weeks and months, other travel insurance companies will be offering COVID-19 coverage.
More and more airlines or tour operators will offer this type of insurance in order to reassure their customers. For example, we’ve seen Air Canada Vacations offer this for some of their southern vacation packages.
In the meantime, travel insurance options for COVID-19 are limited, but they do exist! | <urn:uuid:3480ae80-d689-4868-bb60-eead9a713958> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://milesopedia.com/en/personal-finance/insurance/covid-19-travel-insurance/ | 2023-10-04T20:44:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.928558 | 1,663 |

This week, I gave a presentation on “supporting teachers at LTH to teach about sustainability” to an EU project with partners from universities in lots of different countries, and in the beginning I had to explain what my role of “academic developer” even entails, since this kind of job doesn’t exist at many universities. And even though I didn’t refer to the literature yesterday, the Handal-description of a “critical friend” is pretty close to how I see myself!
In 1999, Handal discusses that while critiquing research in order to improve and professionalize it is clearly part of the academic game, peer feedback on teaching is much less common. This is the article where the famous quote comes from, where speaking about teaching to colleagues is met with horror: “No, that would be comparable to speaking to them about their personal hygiene.” Teaching is personal in a way that research might not be, both because we are more used to criticism of research, and because the norms are a lot clearer, so we are more judged by how well we follow the rules than who we are as people. But developing as a teacher is of course both about learning to play by the rules, and then about stretching or even breaking them to support students best in their learning. A lot of how we teach intuitively is related to our personalities and the culture we draw our identity from. So of course getting feedback on that feels very personal, yet it is super important.
Handal explains the role of a “critical friend” as supportive and constructive — helping someone prevent running into disaster they do(n’t) see coming, or helping them climb out of a hole they dug themselves into. Or suggest the tiny tweaks that might make excellent teaching even more excellent. It is a relationship build on trust in the good intentions, personal integrity, and belief in professional competence. And it requires communication about goals, even though observations should include more aspects than just the ones that feedback was asked on for explicitly. A critical friend’s role is not to know all the solutions, but to ask questions and help the other friend with figuring out answers, or directions.
Critical friendships can develop organically or we can look out for them, or sometimes those friendships are organized for academic development purposes. For example, we use feedback from critical friends in the courses we teach: In addition to receiving peer feedback on written reports, we require participants to find a critical friend in their home department, discuss the report with them, and describe how their feedback influenced their thoughts. And then there are people whose job it is to do all the things described above: academic developers. In his 2007 chapter, Handal suggests “being a critical friend” as shared professional identity.
What I really appreciate about this chapter is how the discussions about professional identity are embedded in reflections about Communties of Practice, and how academic developers are part of (at least) two — their “home” in the academic development unit, but also the one with the teachers they work with. Plus possibly a third one where they “grew up” and formed a professional identity before moving into academic development. And navigating this is not without challenges, for example right now my teaching practice is being judged in the process of applying to LTH’s “pedagogical academy”, the same way as the teachers I am working with. So this is a very weird position pending the outcome (and possibly afterwards, who knows)!
There are also the two quite different orientations for academic developers (at the endpoints of a spectrum, obviously); being a “change agent” that goes into all conversations with an idea of a specific cultural change that they want to bring about, vs a “midwife”, who supports the teachers in whatever it is they need to do. I found that super interesting. and while it would never have occurred to me to label myself as midwife, I am definitely mostly motivated by supporting the teachers I work with in whatever way they need to be supported then and there. But there is also my underlying assumption, supported by my experience, that by working with teachers, their teaching will move in a more student centered and co-created direction, so I guess I do have an underlying cultural change goal.
Another, independent, role that is presented is that of the “fool” (the clown in medieval courts that tells the kind the things nobody else dares to say, but gets away with it because part of his role is saying outrageous things that are hilarious, so what if they make people think in new ways?). I can totally see some of my colleagues in that role sometimes, and I sometimes use it in the sense that I say stuff like “as an academic developer, here is what I HAVE to say because it’s my job…” (and then it’s usually things that I know we aren’t ready to take on yet, but I still think the overall direction is correct. I would not say that about things I don’t agree with…).
But coming back to being a critical friend. To me, that is really how I see myself, and how I want to be perceived by the teachers I work with: supporting them in whatever way I can in becoming better teachers, more confident in their abilities to teach, and to adjust their teaching, based on evidence they collect about their teaching, more willing to co-create with students. And a lot of my work is actually trying to get better in that role, reading more to better understand what is known in the literature about improving teaching and learning, and to apply this to the contexts the teachers I work with are in. What a great job to have :-)

On 8th August, Age of Wushu China will be getting its biggest content update ever, introducing the new area, Jianghu. While things have been “kind” in the current area, Wulin, players are expected to be tested at every corner of Jianghu. Here is a brief look at some of the new features exclusive to the new region.
1. There will be 4 new status: Stamina, Hunger, Thirst and Body temperature.
2. Stamina – When stamina depletes, character’s attack decreases as well. Every fixed period, a chunk of maximum HP will be lost. The character will be plagued with an unknown disease as well.
3. Hunger – If hunger depletes, so will stamina. Food must be consumed periodically in Jianghu.
4. Thirst – If the character gets more thirsty, stamina will drop. Players must find sources of water to replenish their fluids.
5. Body temperature – There are places which are extremely hot or extremely cold, and body temperature will affect the hunger and thirst. For cold areas, players must wear thicker clothing. If character’s body temperature is too high, he or she will get diseases.
6. Mentioned above, characters will get diseases. There are 6 main types of diseases, and each require different medication to cure.
7. In Jianghu, there is no safe area. Players can forge various types of traps at the designated NPC with the right materials and ambush others to snatch their “resources”.
8. Resources include food, water and so on. Players can cook raw meat and turn them into food sources.
9. In such a dangerous region, guilds can roll out in a group and establish a guild flag in an area. Traps’ negative effects will be stopped, and aid guild members in recovery. (Sounds like a open world guild vs guild to me)
10. Dying in Jianghu due to reasons such as falling, hunger, diseases etc will have a chance to cause an item from the bag or equipment slots to drop. Dead players are given 1 hour to recover the dropped item/s, while other players will have a chance to grab them too…
11. Killing your enemy (another player) will cause he or she to drop a random item as well. The item dropped is based on how deep the hatred is (I suppose there is a value for this). | <urn:uuid:ede171a0-7099-4cc0-be92-bbff94685b44> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mmoculture.com/2014/07/age-of-wushu-new-gameplay-features-detailed-for-jianghu-update/ | 2023-10-04T18:45:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.933105 | 505 |
Was Going Free To Play A Good Move For Guild Wars 2?
It’s been almost two years since Arena Net announced that Guild Wars 2 will be free to play. The popular MMORPG first launched with a buy to play model and has been very successful with the game. At release in 2012, Guild Wars 2 racked up enough sales to make World of Warcraft’s Mists of Pandaria sales look amateur.
But what has happened to the game since going free to play? Has it actually offered any benefit to the overall quality to the game and its player base? We’ve investigated and taken a look back at the free to play period to come up with some thoughts. Here are the key takeaways from GW2’s new F2P model for one of the most beloved MMO’s of all time.
1. F2P Has Made The Game’s Population Thrive
To get rid of the obvious first, it’s a given that free to play MMOs are always going to attract a larger crowd. Guild Wars hid behind it’s buy to play model for years, but did very well because the game itself was an amazing product.
From an MMORPG point of view, GW2 introduced many features and systems that has changed the way players play MMOs. It streamlined and made gameplay both fluid and convenient, while still being able to enjoy a rich immersive world.
That’s one of the reasons why the game sold very well. Going free to play only offers this amazing game world to a wider audience. People who have always wanted to try it but didn’t want to commit the money can now do so free. In some aspects, that’s genius marketing. I would rather have a great game where players can experience the best of the genre for free and give them a reason to spend money than through petty restrictions.
Today, the game’s player base is as healthy as ever. Early level zones are always filled with players and the chat is never quiet, even after prime time. It’s really easy to find groups for both PVE and PVP too. It’s safe to say that a free model has helped liven up the GW2 community.
2. Revenues May Not Hit The Heights Prior To F2P
The current F2P system only includes the base Guild Wars 2 game. That means free to play players will get access to all the content that has been available since release. That’s a lot to go through when you do the math. There are plenty of zones, starter areas and dungeons from the pre-expansion period that players can sink their teeth into.
What could be a worrying sign is that because there’s so much content being given away for free, players may not need to buy the Heart of Thorns expansion so soon. While the base game is accessible to all, the expansion and living stories are not.
On top of that, the gem store, which is GW2’s in-game cash shop isn’t really stocked with pay to win items. There’s plenty of cosmetics and convenience items that doesn’t obtrude the gameplay. While that’s very commendable, that decision to keep it clean may return to haunt them. If no one is buying the expansions down the road, the cash flow may dry up.
Therefore it remains to be seen if the game can replicate success. Can they hit the revenue heights that it has achieved prior to dropping the pay to play model?
3. We May Not See Expansions Anytime Soon
It’s a simple cycle really. The more money the MMO makes, the sooner they can churn out more content. Take World of Warcraft for an example. WOW is able to crank out multiple content updates each quarter. And that’s down to a steady stream of money from it’s subscription model.
In GW2’s case, they can only make money from the gem store and expansions. When players are done with Heart of Thorns, then what? The expansion offers about 100 hours of PVE content, and in this day and age it may not be enough. So the bottom line is, GW2 needs to make more money. When the cash flow is good, the sooner the expansions can roll out. | <urn:uuid:697a1909-ceac-4ddc-bb79-28010161e99f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mmosworld.com/was-going-free-to-play-a-good-move-for-guild-wars-2/ | 2023-10-04T20:45:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.962642 | 905 |

After all, it is one of the most popular gambling establishments in Asia.
Casino in 10cric app
After creating a personal account, you will have the opportunity to play in a 10cric app casino. This bookmaker not only allows to make bets on various sports, but to gamble to the fullest. If you go to a separate tab, which is dedicated to the casino (you will find it on the control panel), you will find different games. For example:
- Table and card games;
- Live games;
- And so on.
10cric app slots
Online slots is one of the most popular types of games in Indian casinos. A huge number of people play it and the minimum amount to play is very low. Just 10 rupees and you can start playing the coolest titles, and if you are lucky, you can even earn money.
If you're interested in slot machines, the 10cric app has a really decent selection. You can go wild. At the moment there are over 1,500 titles available, and the number is constantly expanding - a new game is added about every week. This bookmaker takes not only quantity, but also quality. All the most popular titles are available here. For example, Starburst, Gonzo's Quest and Book of Dead. But if you are a true connoisseur and are used to trying something niche and not quite popular, there are a lot of such slots here too. There are also purely Indian slots like CrorePati Challenge, Riches of India and Diwali Lights.
If you are a fan of slots but you also like to play big, then slots with a potential jackpot - this is your choice. They work similarly to the usual, except that the prizes there are really huge. You can win at a time up to several hundred thousand rupees.
The slots with huge jackpots in the 10cric app are incredibly simple. Instead of giving out money to customers when they win in portions, the administration literally collects the lost money of all previous players together and gives it to the lucky winner at once.
In the 10cric app there are more than 100 slots with the possibility of hitting the jackpot. You can do it even with a hundred rupees in your pocket, so do not miss your chance.
But if you're more into the classics, and you like the standard games that all gambling establishments have: roulette, blackjack, keno, baccarat, then it's no problem. The 10cric app has these games as well. And, honestly, there are a lot of them - you will be pleasantly surprised by their quantity and quality.
You didn't think the 10cric app didn't have a decent live section either, did you? That's right. There's a pretty good online casino section where you can see the croupier's actions through the camera. But to be honest, this section is inferior in the amount of available entertainment if you compare it to gambling sharks. However, for a bookmaker's office this amount is quite enough. In the live mode you can enjoy such roulette blackjack, Teen Patti, baccarat, etc. And the best part is that all the croupiers are dressed to perfection. They're wearing really expensive outfits, so when you play a game live, you'll definitely feel like you're in a high-end gaming house right now.
Why choose 10cric app instead of other gambling software
This Indian bookmaker and its smartphone software for the most popular iOS and Android platforms offers a bunch of useful features, a large selection of games and a smart betting system with great odds. The 10cric app has the ability to make stakes on cricket, basketball, soccer, tennis, kabaddi, etc. And best of all, you can do it away from your PC. You can take a walk somewhere in the park, or you can sit in a restaurant and enjoy the game. It's really cool. The UX is also as user-friendly as possible. Even a person far away from gambling and betting can understand the interface of the utility. Overall, we would recommend this app to anyone who wants a great betting experience while on the go.
The utility has many strengths. They show up in terms of both content variety and convenience. For example, the 10cric app is one of the few places that gladly accept rupees. You won't have to convert from other currencies to play, so you won't lose any money. What's more, the welcome bonuses and odds are great here.
The 10cric app, like any other software in the world, has its disadvantages. The interface of the utility is not translated into Hindi, which is quite strange, and also the application weighs relatively much (compared to competitors). However, these are not very critical disadvantages. You can live with them quite well.
By the way, this bookmaker actively monitors not only the situation in the world of gambling and entertainment, but also the latest trends. Here you can find a bunch of generous and cool bonuses. It's time to talk about them, too.
10cric app welcome bonus
The welcome offer is one of the tastiest things this company has. If you registered through the utility, deposited at least a thousand rupees with your first deposit, you can get up to three thousand rupees to place bets. What's more, it also comes with 15 free spins. This, if you look at it objectively, is one of the most lucrative offers on the Indian gambling market.
These 15 free spins come with a unique title from the betting company itself called Wild Wickets.
In order for you to wager your welcome bonus, its volume needs to be wagered 12 times. That's fine. It's not super, but it'll do. The problem is that the 12x multiplier is probably one of the highest on the indie market. But don't be intimidated by this number because the minimum betting odds are around 1.56, which partially offsets this seemingly scary and intimidating number.
The welcome bonus must be realized within 15 days - this is the average time. Some bookmakers give 30 days to wage the bonus, but they tend to have much more serious conditions. In most utilities from betting companies, the time limit is set at one week.
How to get a welcome bonus in the 10cric app
It's simple. Follow the instructions:
- Go to the smartphone app.
- Click on the "Join Now" button.
- Enter all necessary details (full name, phone number, email, etc.).
- Make up with a username and a password, then duplicate them in a separate window.
- Enter promo code IPL15TH.
- All done!
Other tips in the 10cric app
What's cooler is that 10cric not only offers a great welcome bonus, but also various other promotions that are aimed at players who are already in the know. Of these, there are two special ones.
Double cash with AstroPay
AstroPay is a very popular payment system all over the world, so it is not surprising that the fast-growing bookmaker decided to get into the game too and start using it. If you make a deposit using AstroPay, you can count on a 100% bonus up to 200 thousand rupees. But keep in mind that the payment amount must be at least a thousand rupees - otherwise the bonus won't activate. If you deposit a thousand rupees, you'll get two thousand. And so on by analogy.
This is a typical weekly bonus that you can see in almost every gambling establishment. But that doesn't make it any less good or in demand. Why? Simply because it has practically no restrictions. If you want to get a thousand bonus rupees into your account, then you will need to deposit three thousand rupees. Once you enter the 1KSPORT promo code and fulfill this uncomplicated requirement, you will activate the terms of the promotion. To build up your cache, you'll be able to increase the bonus up to ten times during the week. But keep in mind that you need to deposit a minimum of three thousand rupees at a time.
The 10cric app is really a new trend in the world of Indian bookmakers. This developer walks hand in hand with the modern times and that's why its gambling and betting utility is so cool.
Is it possible to download 10cric app for free in India?
Yes, you can easily do it on this website. Just scroll down to the bottom of the page and find the button to download the software. Once you click on it, you will be presented with two options - iOS and Android. Choose the appropriate operating system, then follow the instructions that have been written in this article.
Can I download a 10cric app from Google Play Market?
Unfortunately, no. Google's policy is that it doesn't encourage gambling in any form, so you can hardly find the right software in the utility store. But that's not a problem, because you can easily download the necessary APK file, unzip it, install it and enjoy.
Is the 10cric app legal in India?
Absolutely. 10cric app is in no way illegal in India. Moreover, this company gladly accepts rupees as its main currency, so there is no reason to doubt that this organization operates legally in the country. | <urn:uuid:5b97c105-9cb0-4f94-8524-8638ab1dda29> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mobilesportstv.net/10cric-app/ | 2023-10-04T18:46:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.953763 | 5,329 |

Marian Bossard on her 22 years at The Toy Association, the astonishing career not taken… And what the future holds!
As The Toy Association’s Marian Bossard retires, we find out which achievements mean the most… And invite some colleagues to say goodbye.
Brands Untapped @ Toy Fair NY to showcase how toy brands are thriving in sectors like fashion, food and film
A collaboration between Mojo Nation and The Toy Association, the experience-rich space will take place at New York Toy Fair 2022, with activations highlighting how toy and game brands are making waves in other industries through creative brand extensions.
“Toy Fair Everywhere is poised to help industry stakeholders refocus, retrench, and rebound to position their business for success in Q4,” said Marian Bossard, executive vice president of global market events at The Toy Association.
The Toy Association’s Marian Bossard on engaging with the inventor community at US Toy Fair with Creative Factor

The market for new homes is slowly rebounding as underlying buying demand remains strong, according to one expert.
"I think we hit the bottom for new home sales in July at about 543,000," John Lovallo, a homebuilder and equity research analyst at UBS, told Yahoo Finance Live (video above). "And I think that we're going to slowly get better and better here."
New units sold remain below what builders saw a year ago, but sales have gradually climbed back up in the last couple of months. For instance, 640,000 new units sold in November, a rebound from 543,000 in July when sales were down 34% from January’s high of 831,000 units.
And while builders’ confidence in the market has worsened every month this year, housing stocks have recently outperformed the S&P 500 index.
"Since November, which is the start of this sort of seasonal hope trade, stocks are up about 13% versus the S&P, up about, call it 1%-ish," Lovallo said. Still, the market “is going to be a tough ride” as mortgage rates remain high.
Underlying demand remains
Even with the recent cooldown, Lovallo said those between the ages of 30 and 35 will continue to prop up the market because they want to settle down.
"There's a strong wave of millennials coming through the pike that are reaching prime home-buying age," Lovallo said. "This first-time buyer is very need-driven, need-based… if they can buy a home, they will."
Last year, 29% of millennials planned to purchase a home within 12 months, and potential buyers were actively searching for houses throughout all regions of the United States. Nearly half of millennials between 32 and 41 were first-time buyers, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Not like the 'global financial crisis
Many experts believe today's housing downtown is unlike the one that preceded the Great Recession. Lovallo agreed.
"We think that supply is way too tight," he said, noting price drops of 20% to 30% aren’t likely because there’s not enough housing inventory to meet the pent-up demand.
"There were 10 months of supply of inventory on the ground during the global financial crisis. There are three months today," Lovallo said. "So we're way, way too low on the supply side.”

Clearly, there are a lot of differences between you and an FBI agent.
You don’t need a gun, for starters, and nothing illegal is involved.
But my point is that you truly can scrutinize every tiny little detail of your SEO efforts and maximize on the return.
It, in essence, turns you into an FBI agent specializing in SEO.
Mondovo Review: Track and Analyze Your SEO Like an FBI Agent
No matter what industry or niche you’re in, your website’s success starts with great content and great SEO.
Mondovo understands that helping you refine your SEO improves your online success—and it’s clear when you take a look at their tools.
The rank tracker tool allows you to compare your search engine ranking with those of your competitors.
In addition to a list of keywords, you can also compare your rankings by search location, search engine and device (mobile vs. computer).
The first thing that the rank tracker shows you is a summary of your current ranking data. This gives you a bird’s-eye view on how you’re doing.
From there, you can access much more detailed information—like the Keyword Comparison view, which gives you a detailed look at how your best keyword rankings stack up against your competitors.
The Competitor Landscape view is another useful one.
Here, you have access to several important metrics for each competitor that you add. You can view the number of pages they have ranking, the number of keywords they have ranking, their average rank, average CTR and total traffic flow.
Without ever leaving this page, you can discover very important information about competitors which you can then use to make decisions about how to beat them.
This tool is excellent for people who are trying to learn about their competitors, discover new competitors, or refine their strategies to beat businesses in the same niche.
Mondovo’s keyword research tool is incredibly useful for discovering new keywords to create content around.
When you open the tool, you’re prompted to enter a keyword. After entering the keyword, a long list of relevant search terms with data attached shows up.
Unlike a lot of other keyword research tools, Mondovo shows you a range of both short and longtail keywords. Just look for phrases with four or more in the Word Count column to find longtail keyword opportunities that can be much easier to rank for!
Along with the word count of each keyword, you’re also given its relevance, global and US search volume, and CPC. One particularly helpful metric here is the difficulty ranking, scored out of 100, which gives you an indication of how difficult it would be to challenge this keyword.
With an extensive keyword list (it goes on much further than the bottom of this screenshot), you can discover new, relevant keywords and phrases to incorporate into your SEO strategy.
Keyword Gap Analysis
The keyword gap analysis tool is useful for improving your ranking, increasing traffic and beating your competitors.
This tool shows you specific keywords for which your competitors are ranking that you are not. Essentially, it tells you how to beat them by copying their steps.
Using the incredibly expansive list of keywords that Mondovo researches for you, you can learn how to tailor your SEO strategy to your audience and design it specifically to beat your competitors.
For example, just using the information in this table, you could identify new keywords that you currently don’t rank for and how some of your competitors are currently ranking with those keywords.
From there, you can analyze the search volume to narrow your keyword search and use the best keywords based off of search volume and competition data.
The summary tab shows you important metrics at a glance, like how many total links you have and how many referring domains there are. It also shows you the types of domains that refer to your site.
Below, more tabs show you the name of the referring websites, the anchor text, follow/no-follow status and the target page.
By going through this important information, you can learn the status of your backlinks and launch campaigns to target specific areas of your backlink situation that will help increase traffic and boost sales in the long run.
Another excellent aspect of Mondovo is the reports that are readily available on your dashboard. When you generate a report, it’s automatically saved on your dashboard for easy review.
Having these reports ready to view is a great way to stay up-to-date on all of your SEO management.
You also have access to a well-organized list of Mondovo’s tracking and researching tools right from your dashboard.
Drawbacks and Alternatives
While there are so many positive aspects of Mondovo, there are also areas that could definitely be improved.
The first potential drawback is the lack of a central location to view the main points at a glance. I would’ve liked to see a dashboard or overview page that shows you an overall summary of how your website’s going, like RankTrackr does for rank tracking or Monitor Backlinks for backlink tracking.
These well-organized and informative dashboards allow users to check on their website just by opening the application, whereas with Mondovo, there’s a bit of clicking around involved to find key information.
Second, Mondovo is, at times, lacking in depth of information on some of their reports. For example, several times I attempted to compare two websites’ keywords and there was no data that was shared between them that Mondovo could find.
In my experience, the more well-known tools like Moz are more thorough in this area. Mondovo could improve by increasing the depth of their keyword research.
Mondovo’s pricing works a little differently to other SEO tools.
You pay a monthly subscription which gets you a certain number of credits, and you can then use those credits on whichever features you want.
I rather like this model of payment because it allows you to get the most use out of the tool, and if you require more credits during a certain month, you can simply top up your account instead of having to upgrade to a higher plan.
Final Thoughts on Mondovo
Mondovo is a flexible, thorough tool that can be used by both business owners looking to increase traffic and professional SEOs.
The depth of the tool allows for a professional standard of SEO analysis, but the simplicity and ease of use really gives anybody access to this powerful suite of tools.
By making full use of the tools Mondovo has to offer, you’ll have everything you need to track your SEO and competitors, boost your rankings and keep your website running at its peak.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: that so-called beast is nothing more than a working bearded collie dog, out stalking young rabbits, which probably lives on a local farm.The reason it was moving so stealthily was instinctive stalking behaviour. The thick, shaggy coat of a bearded collie in this case serves to make the outline uncertain; it particularly makes the head unclear and makes the animal look much more difficult to identify. It also makes the tail look thicker and fleshier than it is. The dog its self is showing behaviours that beardies are known to show; they don't approach strange humans readily, they can hunt after a fashion, and they're often kept as farm dogs. This one looks pretty healthy but stands out like a sore thumb (making hunting unsuccessful), so it probably isn't feral as such but just a farm dog that's slipped its chain and gone out on a solo hunt.If you want to investigate further, have a look round the local farms inside a 5-mile radius and see what runs out to bark at you; odds are you might see the very animal or one of its close relations.

We've all heard of fair weather friends: those friends who prove, in bad times, that they are no true friends at all. They are the ones with all the sticking power of a wet Post It note, the ones who disappear so fast you don't even see their dust.
But there are other friends who appear sometimes out of the blue, just when those blue skies turn inky black. They appear clad in oilskins, prepared to weather through the storm with you. Occasionally they might carry umbrellas and blankets, but more often than not, they provide only a comforting arm to lean on, an absorbent shoulder to cry on and the steady reassurance that you are not alone.
Dave was one such friend. Thirty years ago when I was going through my (very painful) divorce, he was there for me. Oh, I knew him casually as he'd been a member of the larger Dungeons and Dragons gaming group to which we belonged. He always played a cleric as it was against his principles to use an edged blade; although the damage he could wield with that staff was considerable; never underestimate a cleric, folks!
But the moment my ex and I parted, the moment I moved out on my own, there he was, at the end of the phone, night after night, deep into those nights, listening to me as I wept.
Just listening mostly, and not saying much. These foul weather friends are really good at listening.
And then disappearing when you don't need them anymore. The moment I was ready to stand on my own two feet, to set out to explore the next chapter of my life, Dave, with gentleness and delicate tact, just disappeared.
I have not seen him since, but have heard from mutual friends that he made a habit of supporting people in distress, people who needed him and then leaving when they didn't need him further. Something like Nanny McPhee, do you remember?
"When you need me but do not want me I must stay. When you want me but no longer need me then I have to go."
I'm thinking of Dave just at the moment as it is my turn to provide the shoulder for a friend, to listen deep into the night, to metaphorically hold their hand and to assure them they are not alone. It is an honour and a privilege and I appreciate deeply the trust shown to me.
Every blog we post here on Moodscope is designed to perform that same function. Moodscope, by its nature, is a foul weather friend.
No – we can't do much listening here, on the front of the page; but if you go to the comments then you will find a space there. Feel free to pour your heart out. You can do it anonymously and be assured of a safe space with no judgement and plenty of support.
We have hankies and hugs. You are not alone.

For Jews, the month of April is so crowded with anniversaries—from the Exodus from Egypt to the Warsaw Ghetto uprising—that it’s easy to miss one, especially this year, with the coronavirus pandemic sucking up so much attention. But even were this not so, one might be forgiven for having overlooked the hundredth anniversary, on April 4, of the outbreak of the Nebi Musa riots in Jerusalem. Named for the Muslim festival memorializing the birth of Moses on which they began, the riots left five Jews dead, 211 injured, and at least two women raped.
With a century’s distance, it is apparent that much remains unchanged about Arab antagonism against the Jews. In attending to the political interests served by the riots, the way in which they were instigated, and their aftermath, we can see similar elements of anti-Jewish strategy that have been deployed ever since. My purpose in marking this centenary is not to provide a dispassionate recapitulation of the events, but to offer the affair’s history as context for today’s defenders of Israel so that they may identify recurring patterns in the behavior of their adversaries.
To understand this episode, we must first put it in its proper context. The land on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean had belonged to the Ottoman empire until its dissolution during World War I. Planning ahead in November 1917 for the aftermath of the war, the British government issued the Balfour Declaration, which called for “the establishment in Palestine”—then but a vaguely defined geographic area—“of a national home for the Jewish people.”
Of course Britain was not the only political power making plans for that land. Inside the Arab world, debates about what to do with it had coalesced into two main opinions: one imagined Palestine as part of an Egyptian sultanate, perhaps still under Ottoman rule; the other wished for the creation of a kingdom of Syria that would include not just Palestine but also modern-day Lebanon and Jordan. In Jerusalem, the historian Simon Sebag Montefiore quotes a Jerusalemite soldier named Ihsan Turjman (whose wartime diary was later published under the English title Year of the Locust) as envisioning an Egyptian princedom that included not just Palestine but also the Hejaz—the region, currently governed by Saudi Arabia, on the east coast of the Red Sea. By contrast, Khalil Sakakini, an Orthodox Christian writer and activist who championed Arabic cultural revival and later supported the Third Reich, was a vocal partisan of the Syrian option.
For Arabs on both sides of the debate, one thing was clear. The Balfour Declaration, with its acceptance of Jewish national aspirations, was a nonstarter. Less than clear was the meaning of the Declaration’s purposefully vague term “national home,” but it was evident that whatever it meant it would change the longstanding relationship between the Jews and the non-Jews who had, for centuries, ruled over them—a change that most Arab leaders deemed unacceptable.
One month before the riots in Jerusalem would break out, on March 8, 1920, Faisal, the third son of the grand sharif of Mecca and a leader of the British-led and funded “Arab Revolt” against the Ottomans, had himself crowned king of Syria in Damascus. Hoping to garner favor with Britain, back in June 1918 Faisal had told the Zionist leader Chaim Weizmann that he supported the Balfour Declaration. His support didn’t last. As the late diplomat and author Conor Cruise O’Brien observed, “Once Faisal and his followers realized, in the second half of 1919, that the British were not really backing his claim to a throne in Damascus, [his previous] claim to a united Syria, including Palestine, revived, and Arab nationalism took a pan-Syrian and very militant turn.” Among his first acts as king was a declaration calling for France and Britain to remove themselves from western and southern Syria—that is, the territories now occupied by Lebanon and Israel, respectively. He even created and assembled a “General Syrian Congress” which, of course, supported his claims. His hope was to present the European powers with a functioning state to which they could then give their post-facto stamp of approval.
While Faisal was busy with these machinations, Palestine remained under the control of the British Occupied Enemy Territory Administration (OETA), a military government established in October 1918. Many leading OETA officials supported Faisal in his claims not only to Syria proper but also to Palestine. To some of them, giving Faisal Syria seemed the best way to strengthen British and frustrate French designs on the territory, and throwing Palestine into the bargain would help guarantee his success. Others backed Faisal precisely because they wished to undermine Balfour—whether out of practical considerations, hostility to Jews and Zionism, or some combination.
Thus the OETA sought to assist Faisal in presenting London with a fait accompli in the form of a “United Syria” under his rule. Already in early 1919, the Zionist leader Vladimir Jabotinsky observed, “The Palestine authorities are acting in a manner which clearly tells the Arabs that the [Balfour] Declaration need not be fulfilled.”
It was under these circumstances that a group of pro-Faisal Arab activists instigated street action, hoping to influence the ongoing intra-Arab and intra-British debate about the fate of Palestine. On April 4, 1920, at the peak of the Nebi Musa festival, for which tens of thousands of pilgrims annually streamed into the area, anonymous Arabic-language notices began circulating in Jerusalem stating, “The Government is with us, [the British general Edmund] Allenby is with us, kill the Jews; there is no punishment for killing Jews.” Then, as the American foreign-policy expert Bruce Hoffman documented in his 2015 book Anonymous Soldiers:
By mid-morning, a large Arab crowd had gathered just outside Jaffa Gate. Egged on by tendentious speakers from the nearby Arab Club, the crowd began to chant the rhyming Arabic couplet “Palestine is our land, the Jews are our dogs!”
Holding up a picture of Faisal, Haj Amin al-Husseini—whom the British would appoint grand mufti of Jerusalem the next year—shouted, “This is your king!” Others in the crowd proclaimed, “Faisal is our king!” A newspaper editor and enthusiastic Arab nationalist, Aref al-Aref, cried “If we don’t use force against the Zionists and against the Jews, we will never be rid of them.” The frenzied crowd began shouting “We will drink the blood of the Jews.” The two ingredients—packed streets and fervent instigation—combusted. The pogrom had begun.
Thousands of Arabs ran through the Jerusalem streets, throwing stones at Jews, destroying Torah scrolls, setting a yeshiva and several houses on fire, breaking into buildings, looting, and so on. They did so for four days, from April 4 to April 7, with little intervention from the British authorities until the very end. By the time the riots were over, five Jews and four Arabs were dead, and hundreds more Jews injured, some critically.
Zionist leaders were outraged. Beforehand, several had expressed concerns about the increasingly tense situation—only to have those concerns dismissed. When the bloodshed erupted, Jabotinsky approached the military governor of Jerusalem, Ronald Storrs, requesting permission for armed members of the Haganah, a recently created Jewish self-defense organization, to be deployed to protect lives and property. Storrs refused. British troops even barred Haganah members from entering the Old City in order to defend their fellow Jews.
Some Jewish leaders, including Jabotinsky and others on the Zionist right, interpreted the British reaction to Nebi Musa as evidence of broken faith. They now doubted Britain’s commitment to the Balfour Declaration, and their doubts would continue to grow in subsequent years.
Indeed, in the riots’ wake, the new civilian governor, Herbert Samuel, pardoned both Husseini and Aref, as well as Jabotinsky, who had been charged, along with nineteen Jewish defenders, with illegal possession of weapons and who had in a gesture of “evenhandedness” initially received the same sentence as Husseini. And, as mentioned, the British later tried to appease Husseini by naming him grand mufti and leader of the Supreme Muslim Council—overtures he would repay by allying himself with Hitler.
A precedent had been set. The Nebi Musa riots were followed by yet more anti-Jewish violence during the era of British rule, violence which would culminate in the revolt of 1936-39, and which would then resurface in 1947.
As for Faisal’s dream of a “Greater Syria,” it would never come to fruition. French forces deposed him on July 25, 1920, and thereafter Syria and Lebanon went one way, Jordan and Palestine another. Subsequently, many of his supporters would come to see a separate Palestinian Arab state as the only practicable antidote to Zionism.
But that belated and freedom-loving desire for an independent Palestinian state did not inspire the anti-Jewish violence that occurred 100 years ago. When trying to make sense of Arab violence in the Middle East, whether recent or historical, Western analysts tend to fall back on predictable clichés: riots result from resentment, oppression, poverty, or perhaps “ancient hatreds”; where the riots involve Palestinians, they are also the result of frustrated national aspirations. Sometimes there are elements of truth in these clichés, but most often they obscure more than they illuminate, especially when combined with the equally misguided tendency to see Arab politics solely through the prism of Western or Israeli policies.
In the case of the Nebi Musa riots, none of these explanations fit. To the extent that national aspirations were involved, they had nothing to do with Palestinian statehood, and everything to do with the incorporation of Palestinian Arabs into Greater Syria. Nor did accusations of mistreatment figure into the incitement that set them off. Rather, the riots were, first, an attempt to influence Arab opinion by showing support for the Syrian rather than the Egyptian solution. Second, and more importantly, they were intended to influence British opinion in the same direction.
Today, when Palestinian Islamic Jihad or Hamas fire rockets at Israel, or the Palestinian Authority’s Mahmoud Abbas incites Jerusalem Arabs to violence, the proximate cause often has as much to do with internal Palestinian politics as anything else. The relatively muted response to America’s decision to move its embassy to Jerusalem shows just how much Westerners exaggerate the importance of their decisions.
But that is not to say that international actors have no influence at all, and this brings us to the second lesson of the Nebi Musa riots: when powerful figures encourage anti-Zionists to think their cause might be successful, the result is often the shedding of Jewish blood. By their manifest lack of commitment to the terms of the Balfour Declaration, local British authorities signaled to Arab leaders that some inconvenient disturbances might suffice to move the needle in London. The mandatory government then made matters worse with its demonstrations of “evenhandedness,” which amounted to meting out the same punishments to the instigators of violence and those who sought to defend themselves against it—and then pardoning everyone.
Were this not bad enough, the British rewarded Husseini for his role by creating the position of grand mufti of Jerusalem and bestowing it upon him. He concluded, not unreasonably, that the risks of instigating pogroms were low, and therefore resorted to this tactic in 1929 and then again from 1936 to 1939. Only the outbreak of World War II convinced Britain that it could not tolerate further unrest, and that it was necessary to crackdown vigorously.
The parallels to more recent history are clear. When the so-called international community—that is, Europe sometimes joined by the U.S.—signals its willingness to pressure Israel to make concessions regardless of Palestinian behavior, to respond to terrorism with rhetorical “evenhandedness,” and to forgive or overlook incitement to violence, it sends a clear message that there is a low cost to terrorism, corruption, intransigence, and anti-Semitism.
It is even worse when Western nations bestow honors on the worst actors, as Britain did upon Husseini and as when Yasir Arafat was invited to speak at the United Nations in 1974 only two years after the Munich massacre. Arafat was crowned head of the Palestinian state-in-the-making at Oslo in 1993 and then given a Nobel Peace Prize in 1994. Palestinian leaders thus have every reason to conclude, as they did a century ago, that “there is no punishment for killing Jews.” And while Mahmoud Abbas has less blood on his hands than Arafat, his frequent and well-documented encouragement of riots, stabbings, and car-rammings haven’t detracted from his standing in European diplomatic circles.
These admonitions are distilled in the Nebi Musa riots of 1920. The consequences of our failure to heed them are all too evident. | <urn:uuid:6abcf2fa-c405-4c48-be4e-f8e6cf950fbe> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mosaicmagazine.com/observation/israel-zionism/2020/04/century-old-lessons-from-a-jerusalem-pogrom/ | 2023-10-04T20:27:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.969685 | 2,791 |
Get To Know Connected TV’s Built-In Brand Safety
by Jaci Schreckengost

Connected TV has now been around long enough that most people have a basic understanding of how it works. But this complex and diverse channel can sometimes lead to confusion for consumers and advertisers alike. So we thought we would cover just a couple of the top misconceptions about Connected TV to see if we could dispel any myths you might have heard.
One of the main misconceptions that many advertisers seem to have about Connected TV is that it wouldn’t be worth their time and ad dollars because their audience simply isn’t watching. Many see Connected TV as a channel populated by millennial and Gen Z audiences alone, and that older generations are more likely to be reached through traditional channels.
The truth is that your audience is definitely on Connected TV. Younger audiences have certainly embraced the ease of use that CTV devices and platforms provide, and many of them grew up in cord-cutting (or even cord-never) households. But this doesn’t mean that CTV audiences are actually skewed younger. eMarketer found that CTV viewership is fairly evenly spread out across every age, with those ages 25-34 and 35-44 making up the largest groups. Age isn’t the only diverse segment of the Connected TV audience makeup, either — this channel appeals to users across diverse ethnicities, geographic locations, and incomes.
Many viewers are spending increased time in front of their TVs, and are more eager than ever to see cheaper options to the often-high cost of linear TV. That leads us to our next misconception surrounding Connected TV.
Think that streaming viewers will go out of their way (and dip into their pocketbooks) to avoid ads? The truth is that while there are still plenty of CTV users who pay an extra fee to avoid ever watching ads on their streaming services, they’re by no means the majority.
It helps that there are plenty of options to choose from — many of them ad-supported. In the last year, more and more SVOD platforms have embraced a hybrid model, giving consumers the option of watching ads for a lower subscription fee. Not to mention the recent rise in free, ad-supported apps (FASTs), which have been taking advantage of some recent content reshuffling on the part of SVODs to provide their viewers with premium (if older) content.
And considering the amount of subscriptions consumers have these days, it’s no wonder they are looking favorably on platforms that can give them a financial break. One survey found that while the average person subscribes to 2.8 streaming services, nearly 10% of viewers are paying for more than five streaming services at a time. So it’s no wonder that 86% of viewers are willing to watch ads on Connected TV.
These viewers aren’t just tolerating the ads they see on Connected TV — many viewers are embracing the personalization available through this platform. A survey from LG Ad Solutions on enhanced CTV ad formats found that 4 in 5 viewers enjoyed viewing ads that informed them about deals at a store location closest to them. And 72% of those surveyed liked an advanced ad format that served ads relevant to the weather in their area. This presents a unique opportunity for advertisers, as combining the targeting and personalization capabilities of Connected TV ads will allow them to reach interested consumers with ease.
Television advertising has long been used to drive awareness by advertisers, taking advantage of the large reach of traditional linear TV to get ads in front of a captive audience. And while Connected TV now has a similarly large audience these days (around 230 million users, according to eMarketer), advertisers using this channel solely for upper-funnel strategies are missing out on some of its most powerful capabilities.
The truth is, Connected TV is a full-funnel marketing channel, and marketers can see better results when they treat it as such. Connected TV can not only target specific audiences on the biggest screen in their homes — advertisers can use this channel to retarget users who’ve visited their site based on their location or the actions they’ve taken. And with the right CTV advertising partner, advertisers can fully track and measure the results of their CTV campaigns, then use that data to help shape their future marketing strategies.
As the Connected TV landscape continues to evolve, it’s natural for advertisers to get the wrong idea sometimes about this growing channel. The truth is, CTV is here to stay — and with its highly effective targeting and performance capabilities, every marketer should be considering the benefits of adding Connected TV to their marketing mix.

The Greenbrier Humane Society (GHS) is celebrating the one-year anniversary of their Director, Darcie Sparks McCraw, who has been working at the facility since Sept. 6, 2019.
“It’s definitely been wonderful,” said Darcie on her past year. “Obviously though, we didn’t expect the pandemic; it’s definitely been a test of what we can accomplish here.”
Even though she grew up in North Carolina, Darcie spent her summers and holidays here in West Virginia with her family. “My husband and I were talking about moving here eventually,” she said. “We had decided to try to find a weekend rental where I could split my time and go back and forth, and we were in the process of that and I quit my full-time job. My sisters sent me the job posting [at GHS], and it was honestly presented to me by the universe. It was the right timing and everything kind of fell into place.”
She says her favorite part of this job is all of the success stories. “You can actually watch the match made in heaven right in front of you, that’s my favorite part.”
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Darcie and the rest of the staff at GHS have been continuously working behind the scenes to help the animals while being closed to the general public.
“I would say, obviously, managing a facility like this through a pandemic would be a major change. Because of that, rescue efforts that were already in place have really grown in a major way because we haven’t been open to the public. Brittany, our placement specialist, has worked even harder at getting animals to our rescue partners, and we do still offer local adoptions.”
When an animal is sent from GHS to a rescue, it’s a careful process that is designed to ensure their best future.
“These are private rescue organizations that are fully vetted by Brittany to make sure they are a good match for where we want our animals to go,” Darcie explained. “She works to build that relationship, and they see the available animals that we have and, if they have foster homes or availability at their organization, they pull the animals. A lot of these organizations have medical and other training professionals that we just can’t match. They are able to address medical and behavioral issues that we can’t. While they are very well loved and cared for here, the goal is to get them out of a cage and into a home, whether it be a foster placement or someone that’s already on a waiting list for adoption.”
The facility hasn’t euthanized any animals due to space constraints since February 2014. A combination of these rescue efforts and adoption placements makes sure that the animals brought in are given every chance at finding a permanent home.
“It’s definitely a misconception that people have,” said Darcie about euthanizations due to space. “We are very lucky. There are a lot of humane societies out there that have no other options, whereas we have lots of options.”
Even though they are closed to public visits, office staff is available Tuesday through Saturday during their regular business hours to make appointments for adoptions, surrenders, and more.
Although spay and neuter vouchers are currently not available in full capacity due to the pandemic, Darcie encourages those interested in one to call the facility to see how they can help.

Anyone wishing to donate can do so via PayPal at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/greenbrierhumane, through their wishlist on Amazon at https://rb.gy/80g33a, or by donating directly to the facility.

12 Ways to Involve Your Kids in the Kitchen
In today’s fast-paced world, finding meaningful activities that engage and educate can often feel challenging. The kitchen, however, provides a perfect setting for my kids to explore their creativity, learn essential life skills, and hopefully develop a love for food and nutrition. Getting our kids in the kitchen not only helps them understand the value of healthy eating but also creates lasting memories and strengthens family bonds.
If you’re wondering how to get your little ones excited about culinary adventures, look no further! In this blog post, we will explore twelve fun ways to get your kiddos involved in the kitchen. From simple tasks to more advanced cooking techniques, these activities will make cooking a delightful and educational experience for both you and your children.
The Benefits of Involving Kids in the Kitchen
Enhanced Life Skills: Engaging children in meal planning, food prep, and clean-up equips them with valuable life skills they will carry throughout their lives. They learn about nutrition, portion control, and the importance of balanced meals. Instead of trying to teach them these skills later in life, I prefer to integrate them into our daily lives.
Confidence and Independence: Allowing kids to take ownership of kitchen tasks boosts their self-esteem and instills a sense of independence. They learn to make decisions, follow recipes, and problem-solve. The other day Chulengo came upstairs with a milk mustache, and I asked if he poured himself a glass of milk, to which he said yes. I was so proud he felt confident to pour his own milk without asking.
Bonding and Quality Time: Cooking together allows families to bond and spend quality time. It encourages communication, teamwork, and shared experiences. We chat a lot in the kitchen about things we like and don’t like, the characteristics of the food we prepare, and daily life. Some of my favorite memories are from our time in the kitchen.
Expanded Palates: When children actively participate in meal planning and preparation, they become more open to new foods and flavors. It broadens their culinary horizons and encourages healthier eating habits. And with picky eaters, this has made all of the difference. I have removed the pressure to try new foods and instead expose them to the foods while preparing, which has started working in expanding their palates. I serve a salad with most meals. It took Chulengo until he was four years old to voluntarily eat the salad on his plate.
Getting Started: Meal Planning
Involve the Kids: Include children in meal planning by asking for their input. Let them choose a recipe or suggest their favorite dishes. Both boys typically ask for my mom’s spaghetti sauce, so I’ve been getting creative in how to serve it to expose them to new dishes. Instead of spaghetti, I’ve made chicken parmesan, meatballs, and lasagna.
Teach about Nutrition: Discuss the importance of a balanced diet and involve kids in selecting various ingredients from different food groups. It’s important to me that each meal has a protein, a carb, and a fat, so I make sure to point out which is each as we plan a meal. I also ensure that fruits and vegetables are available at each meal and throughout the day.
Create a Weekly Menu: Together with your children, create a weekly menu that covers breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. Display it prominently in the kitchen. I started by including them in planning dinners for now, as their attention spans usually last through about seven meals.
Make a Shopping List: Engage kids in writing a shopping list based on the ingredients needed for the planned meals. Encourage them to check the pantry and fridge for items already available. I always give kiddos my shopping list at the store too. I ask Chulengo to read the list to me as we go shopping.
Food Prep: Fun and Educational
Age-Appropriate Tasks: Assign tasks suitable for your child’s age and skill level. Younger children can wash vegetables or tear lettuce, while older ones can chop or measure ingredients. Chulengo is learning to cut produce, and Bambino helps mix things.
Teach Prepping and Cooking Techniques: Demonstrate and explain various cooking techniques, such as sautéing, baking, or grilling. Let them experience hands-on learning under your guidance. I’ve also introduced the boys to the air fryer, crockpot, and Instapot.
Explore New Ingredients: I encourage our kids to explore and learn about different fruits, vegetables, and herbs. Involve them in washing, peeling, or seasoning ingredients. The other day, Bambino tried onion powder and loved it. He kept asking me to shake it in his hand so he could lick it off. Also, the boys love preparing and mixing our daily salad, improving exposure. I try to switch ingredients regularly.
Cooking Safety: Teach your kids about kitchen safety rules, including the proper use of knives, handling hot objects, and hygiene practices. When I get something out of the oven, I ask one of them to get the pot holders for me and put them on my hands. And every time they lick their hands, we wash our hands.
Clean-Up Time: Responsibility and Teamwork
Share the Responsibility: Assign age-appropriate clean-up tasks to children. This can include washing dishes, wiping countertops, or sweeping the floor. My 6-year-old helps load the dishwasher. My 4-year-old helps clear the table.
Reinforce Hygiene: Emphasize the importance of cleaning utensils, cutting boards, and surfaces to prevent cross-contamination. To help wash dishes, I’ve given the boys a scrubber brush that automatically dispenses soap. I’ve also taught Chulengo how to load the dishwasher properly to make sure everything gets properly sanitized.
Make it Fun: Play upbeat music, engage in conversations, or turn cleaning into a game to make it an enjoyable experience. Our favorite songs include Africa by Toto and Rock and Roll by Gary Glitter.
Express Gratitude: Acknowledge and appreciate your children’s efforts in the kitchen. Encourage them to take pride in their contribution to meal preparation. “I am so proud of you” and “Thank you for all your help” are common phrases in our kitchen. The more confident they are in their kitchen skills, the more willing they are to join me.
Engaging children in meal planning, food prep, and clean-up is a wonderful way to empower them with valuable life skills and cultivate their love for cooking. Beyond the practical benefits, such as enhanced nutrition and expanded palates, it provides bonding and quality time as a family. Involving kids in the kitchen teaches them about food and instills confidence, independence, and a sense of accomplishment.
So, let’s embrace the joy of cooking together and watch our young chefs shine as they take their place in the kitchen, creating delicious meals and memories that will last a lifetime. | <urn:uuid:89b2f295-5b6b-477a-b562-413e33962087> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://movemamamove.com/motherhood/12-ways-to-involve-your-kids-in-the-kitchen/ | 2023-10-04T20:05:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.954945 | 1,480 |
“There’s a Lot of Stereotypes Going On”: A Cross-National Qualitative Analysis of the Place of Gender in Declining Youth Drinking
Significant declines in alcohol use among young people have been recorded in many high-income countries over the past 20 years. This analysis explored the role of gender – which this study interprets as socially constructed and relational – to provide insight into whether and how gender might be implicated in declining youth alcohol use.
Interview data from four independent qualitative studies from Australia, Denmark, Sweden and the UK (n=194; participants aged 15-19 years) were analysed by researchers in each country following agreement about analytical focus. Findings were collated by the lead author in a process of ‘qualitative synthesis’ which involved successive rounds of data synthesis and feedback from the broader research team.
The analysis raised two notable points in relation to the role of gender in declining youth alcohol use. The first concerned the consistency and vehemence across three of the countries in which alcohol users and states of intoxication were pejoratively described in gendered terms (e.g., bitchy, sleazy). The second was related to the opportunities non- and light-alcohol use offered for expressing alternate and desirable configurations of femininities and masculinities.
This study identified an intolerance towards regressive constructions of gender that emphasize weakness for women and strength for men and a valorization of gendered expressions of maturity through controlled alcohol use. Though subtle differences in gendered alcohol use practices between and within countries were observed, the findings offer insight into how young people’s enactions of gender are embedded in, and evolve alongside, these large declines in youth alcohol use. | <urn:uuid:9a0eca43-f021-4a7e-ad9e-72e6f9ec1769> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://movendi.ngo/science-digest/the-place-of-gender-in-declining-youth-alcohol-use/ | 2023-10-04T19:06:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.939574 | 362 |

Children of Time
by Adrian Tchaikovsky
I was in the mood for science fiction (which in retrospect is the status quo), and saw this recommended by a handful of acquaintances. The novel's start had the breath and awe of the Three Body Trilogy, but the depth of science became shallower as the book progressed - not necessarily bad, but the first chapter readied me for some hard science fiction. Although some of the unique concepts held fast (sentience evolving from humanity's own biological experiments), some of the novel concepts were glossed over.
I've noticed that many of the most gripping novels, especially in this genre, follow the pattern of chapters alternating timelines rushing towards a collision in their narratives. It works - there were some nights where I would read well past midnight. | <urn:uuid:db491dc5-8f0d-467a-b154-a49e2844623a> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://mrshll.com/children_of_time.html | 2023-10-04T19:30:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.974276 | 168 |
