I use Grammarly’s plagiarism checker because it provides me links to such entertaining reading material.
So I got an email from Grammarly a while back asking if I’d be interested in writing a sponsored post in exchange for a $10 Amazon gift card. I can’t say that I’ve ever considered the question of whether I’d write a sponsored post and I suspect that this will be the first and last I ever write. But I kind of wanted to try Grammarly out and they were also going to give me a two week free trial, so I figured, sure, might as well.
The very pleasant guy from Grammarly told me to write the first half of the above line, following it with a reason of my own. Preferably a catchy reason. (I don’t think he said that, exactly, but they do give their favorite reason of the month a $100 gift card. Mine will not be their favorite reason.)
I, of course, had to therefore try the plagiarism checker out. So I ran the first chapter — yes, one chapter, only 5000 words or so — through it. I’ll let the results speak for themselves.

I feel as if there’s amazing potential for a game here. Like some kind of reverse Mad Libs, where you take the common phrases and write a completely different short story with them. I’m also impressed by my own apparent plagiaristic diversity — Yu-Gi-Oh and Glee, Transformers, and iCarly? Wow, what a wide range of taste I have.
And who knew that such a thing as Harry Potter and World-Wide-Wrestling crossovers even existed, much less that they had cornered the market on the use of the sentence, “I can help with that. Let’s get you”. I so want to know how that author finished the sentence. Let’s get you to the wrestling arena? The Gryffindor common room? Like, is it magical wrestling or is it wrestling at Hogwarts?
Anyway, I said I’d write a post and I did. It took me a surprisingly long time because I had to cut-and-paste all those phrases and citations one at a time, so I do feel like I’ve fulfilled my end of the deal. But I probably won’t submit it to get my gift card because…eh. It feels like I’m being mean. But it was so ridiculous that I had to share. Vampire Diaries and How to Train Your Dragon? Really?? It made me laugh. I’m willing to bet there are hundreds, if not thousands of stories and books in the world that include the sentence, “What’s the last thing you remember?” But, no, a Vampire Diaries fanfic gets the credit.
Postscript: You know, it did occur to me belatedly that if I was still in school, that level of citation checking would have rocked. If I was writing an academic paper, I would have loved it. It even gives you the citations in proper format — multiple types of format, depending on what you need — so you could just cut-and-paste the citations into your bibliography. Doing citations for academic papers is a pain, and I can imagine that having Grammarly as a backup to double-check that you cited everything would be seriously handy. If I hadn’t lost my hard drive, I’d run one of my papers through it and see how closely their citations matched the real papers that I used. Maybe I’ll see if I can find a backup.
Postscript 2: And yeah, no. I tried it with an academic paper and it was just as ridiculous. For example, half the titles of publications in my references got flagged as plagiarism with instructions to cite to the NCBI. That doesn’t even make sense. It’s like saying please credit the library for the books held within it. Not a useful tool! | <urn:uuid:88efdbe0-9b49-458b-a57b-3133052020bc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sarahwynde.com/2013/10/09/grammarly/ | 2023-10-04T19:47:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.926797 | 1,275 |
Yesterday I was walking Z in the very early morning. Pre-dawn, but not so pre-dawn that it was still dark. I’d taken her up a white sandy road that led past the dumpsters out of the campground. The road had a “No Vehicles” sign posted but no other signs, so I wasn’t sure where it led, but since we were just walking for the sake of walking, it didn’t matter to me.
It felt incredibly lovely. The still of the early morning, nothing manmade in sight except for the road itself, just me and Z, alone in the world. And then I saw a flash of dog, tall dog, just a glimpse of leg and tail, crossing the path a long way in front of us.
You never know with off-leash dogs—are they off-leash because their owners have trained them well or are they off-leash because their owners are terrible owners? Zelda is a Jack Russell terrier, which means she is genetically incapable of backing down from a fight. If she decides a dog is a threat, she’ll get aggressive and size won’t deter her. Although she’s never gotten into a fight with a dog smaller than her, only dogs bigger than her, so I guess size does deter her, just not in a fearful way. But I’m wary about bringing her near strange off-leash dogs that she might decide need to be taught a lesson.
I paused and the dog disappeared. It looked like it disappeared into the brush, but that seemed unlikely, so I decided the road must have a path I couldn’t see leading off it. And since the dog and its owner were moving on, they were not a problem.
I kept walking. It was grey and chilly, at least by Florida standards, but I was enjoying the cool air and the brush of moisture in the fog… and then I saw dogs again.
Three of them. Tall, skinny, and a matched set, all a sort of grey brown with flags of white on their tails. Someone had a pack of dogs.
A pack of dogs that they were letting run off leash.
In a state park.
In fact, in a wilderness area.
Yeah, I don’t think so.
I stopped walking.
Two of the dogs disappeared into the brush, but the third stood where it was and stared at me. I stared back.
It wasn’t really close, not so close that I felt immediately threatened. And I did, in fact, have a little mental debate of whether I wanted to keep going on the path that I had been so enjoying and trust that I would scare it/them off. Coyotes are not known for attacking people.
But — my mental thought process went — coyotes are known for taking small animals and I am walking with a small animal that I love very much and that would never back down from a fight, even if it was with a pack of coyotes. And I am not the biggest of human beings myself. I’m not short, but I don’t think anyone would ever suggest that I could be threatening. Even to dogs. And these weren’t small dogs, they were definitely long-legged and tall. And like I said, skinny, so maybe they were hungry. Also out in daylight, even if maybe they were headed home after a night of hunting, but still… daylight plus night-time predators has at least the potential of meaning hungry predators.
So I took some careful steps backwards, not letting my eyes off the watchful coyote and then turned around and walked back to the campground. Zelda and I took the rest of our walk around the paved loop of the campground, admiring our neighbor’s various vehicles and tents and appreciating the day from a carefully sanitized distance. | <urn:uuid:53664fc0-1084-4748-8818-5dfa191e0747> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sarahwynde.com/2016/12/22/one-step-away-from-the-wild/ | 2023-10-04T21:10:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.987415 | 817 |
Last Friday morning, I was lying in a hospital bed, thinking about the nature of reality and its relationship to memory. I was waiting to have a colonoscopy and the doctor had already been by to introduce himself and discuss the procedure. He let me know that he preferred his patients to be conscious, but that I’d be somewhere between Cloud 5 and Cloud 9, wouldn’t feel anything, and would probably not remember the experience. I was less than enthusiastic about that, but if I wasn’t going to remember it anyway, did it really matter? Wouldn’t it basically be like it had never happened?
Answer: No. Even if your mind doesn’t remember, your body does.
Also, though, he was wrong about everything: I was not on any clouds, I did feel it, I do remember it, and it sucked. Apparently my colon is “loopy,” so it was a struggle to get the probe through and the tech had to try to rearrange my insides from the outside. I assume that was effective, since they did manage to get all the views they wanted, but it was super uncomfortable — I was complaining while on the operating table, which surprised them at least twice — and I’ve been sore for a couple of days now. Even if I didn’t remember (but I do), my body would be letting me know that it was an unpleasant experience. I’ve even got a painful bruise on my wrist from the IV.
(That said, my colon is now stamped approved for the next seven to ten years, which is nice, and maybe a decade from now, technology will have improved so much that no one will be doing colonoscopies anymore. I’m going to choose to believe that, anyway. And, of course, my day of unpleasantness is a whole lot better than treatment for colon cancer would be, so worth it in the end.)
I think my philosophical question, though, was really whether forgetting could be the same thing as healing. If you can fully forget a painful experience, could it be the same as the experience never having happened? I’m pretty sure the answer is still no, still that the body remembers.
Speaking of remembering — although this time in the context of sharing a story I expect I’ll probably remember myself — on Saturday, I was at the farmer’s market with our next-door neighbors when a vaguely familiar face said hello, and then added, somewhat tentatively, “Do you have a black dog and a small black-and-white dog? Because they’re playing on Dan Hauser’s lawn right now.”
I hope I said thank you, but I’m not sure I did. I rushed home, not quite running but moving as fast as a not-quite-run would take me, not seeing any sign of them in the neighbor’s yard as I got close. I’m reminding myself that they’re both micro-chipped; that they’re together so noticeable; that they’re reasonably street smart these days, at least to the extent of understanding that the people are worried when they go out into the road… but there are no dogs, no dogs, no dogs.
I’m making a plan — I will dump my purchases inside the tiny house and grab the bag that usually holds treats and then start searching. Sophie, most likely, will have followed our usual walk and gone up the street to the park… But then there they are, lying by the neighbor’s garage door, on the side of his house. And they see me and say, “OH! Our person! We’ve been waiting for you!!” and both of them come running.
A couple, just ahead of me on the sidewalk, was rather taken aback by this. I think they were already speculating on whether those dogs were loose and now both dogs were tearing toward them at full speed, one of the two being rather large. (One might even say exceedingly large. Bear is a BIG girl.)
But both puppies followed me very happily through our gate and into the yard and were super-excited and pleased with themselves. Oh, such a good adventure, they were saying. Much tail wagging and pleasure.
The explanation for the escape was pretty easy to discover: we have a concrete block sitting in front of a hole in the gate between the back and front yards. It blocks enough of the hole that the dogs can’t go through, but the cat can still go in and out. Someone — and Suzanne is blaming Riley — someone shoved that concrete block out of the way, letting the puppies into the front yard, which has a short fence that both of them can leap over effortlessly. I think we will be boarding up that hole before the dogs get left in the backyard alone again.
And I can’t believe I don’t have a recent picture of the two puppies together, but I don’t. I’d go take one, except Suzanne is away for an overnight with both of her dogs, so I can’t. Size-wise, though, Sophie is turning out to be smaller than I expected: I thought she’d be a medium-size dog and she’s only medium-size if she’s standing next to a chihuahua. Here in Arcata, where chihuahuas are few and far between and pit bulls are plentiful, she’s definitely small.
And Bear — well, Bear is ten months old this week, so she still has a few months of growing to do, and she’s the size where people say things like, “Wow, that’s a big dog.” Or, as I said this week when I saw her trying to sleep on the dog bed — head and feet both hanging over the edges — “Holy cow, she is immense.” She’s easily twice Sophie’s size now.
Suzanne is away again this week. It’s her sixth (or maybe tenth or eleventh, depending on if one counts overnights) trip since I came back in August, I think. When she returned from her last trip, Olivia Murderpaws — who is supposed to be an inside cat — was on the roof of the chicken coop, refusing to come down. I was also worried about one of their royal majesties, the chickens who joined the Mighty Small Farm in the summer of 2020, and rightfully so: she passed away that night and Suzanne had to bury her the next morning. Pet sitter fail.
Not that I actually blame myself for either of those things — I didn’t let Olivia out, and chickens, sadly, do sometimes die. She wasn’t even the first chicken to pass away on my pet-sitting watch. I didn’t write about it at the time, but one of the very old ladies died while Suzanne was away last year, probably on her Oregon trip. It would have made a good post, actually, because I thought she was dead so I dug a hole in which to bury her. But when I picked up the dead body, she opened her eyes and wiggled. Ack! I nearly dropped her, which I would have felt terrible about. Poor dying chicken, dropped from two feet up. Instead, I set her down gently and when I came back a couple hours later, it was easy to see that she was dead, because one of her comrades had started testing to see if she was meat. Chickens are such dinosaurs. I buried her quickly, before the rest of them could get in on the action.
Back to pet-sitting. Back in January, when Suzanne first retired, we were making grand plans for this spring. We were going to head off on a long road trip adventure: wildflowers in Texas, family in Florida, opal mining in Idaho. But Gina, #notmycat, is very frail these days. She eats a ton, but the food rushes right through her, and she’s so skinny she looks emaciated. Her fur’s coming out in clumps, too, and she’s very cranky. Suzanne was pretty sure she wouldn’t last until spring, but sometime around mid-February, she said, “Not sure I can leave Gina with a pet-sitter,” to which I replied, “Oh, absolutely not. Of course not.” That would be horrible, to leave Gina to potentially die with a stranger. (As it happens, gas prices might have killed this trip anyway. Long road trips and $6/gallon gas do not coincide in my mind.)
Except… I really don’t want to be the pet-sitter on duty for her death, either. Every time Suzanne leaves, there’s a little repetitive prayer running through the back of my head, “Please, please, please don’t let Gina die.” Suzanne is gone tonight, then back for a couple days, then gone for five days, then back for a few weeks, then gone for another week. Pet-sitting would be a lot easier without Gina — she’s really the only pet that feels like much of a responsibility, because she needs to eat five or more times a day and produces waste commensurately — but I really, really hope that she lasts through spring and into summer.
And maybe come summer, I’ll get to take a trip of my own. It’s feeling like time! | <urn:uuid:ce537aea-5c5f-4145-8737-a8887d28adfc> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sarahwynde.com/2022/04/03/memory-reality-pet-adventures-and-pet-sitting/ | 2023-10-04T20:43:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.981401 | 2,025 |
The company Derubis from Vitez, which became famous for the production of yachts, presented its caravan.
The Derubis caravan had its world premiere at the Caravan Salon Düsseldorf which was held from August 27th to September 5th, 2021.
Their presentation was very successful and caused a lot of attention, while the reviews were extremely positive.
As could be seen at the presentation, it is practically flat on wheels. The caravan looks like any apartment – it has a living room, bathroom, kitchen, sleeping bed, etc.
During the construction of the caravan, materials and experiences from the construction of the yacht were used, which makes it even better and more luxurious.
It is important to mention that the team in Vitez designed the first monolithic, integral caravan that has more than 10 innovative solutions. It is a completely new concept of exterior and interior, Biznis Info writes. | <urn:uuid:d17d6aba-85c1-4cde-8d95-59cc4ffc9b60> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sarajevotimes.com/flat-on-wheels-the-bih-caravan-presented-video/ | 2023-10-04T21:02:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.984176 | 197 |
Yahoo has announced that it no longer allows its services to be accessible from mainland China “in recognition of the increasingly challenging business and legal environment”, making it the second Western tech brand to leave the country in recent weeks.
This move became official from November 1, according to a statement published on its website, which directed users of Yahoo and AOL mail to other links. Local Chinese media reported Yahoo’s move on Tuesday.
“Yahoo remains committed to the rights of our users and a free and open internet. We thank our users for their support.”
Yahoo’s action comes after Microsoft Corp, who stopped LinkedIn in China last month, marking the retreat of the last major U.S.-owned social network in China. LinkedIn cited a “more challenging operating environment and greater compliance requirements in China”.
Yahoo started in China in 1998 and in 2012 struck a deal with Alibaba Group (9988.HK) to sell its stake in the e-commerce giant. The deal also saw Alibaba obtain the right to operate Yahoo China under the Yahoo brand for up to four years.
Yahoo China later shut its email service and web portal but the brand retained a global research and development center in Beijing until 2015, when it was shut down.
Beijing’s major moves to restrict internet companies freedom has had a huge impact on this departure. On Monday, its new Personal Information Protection law designed to protect online user data privacy came into effect.
In May, Verizon Communications sold Yahoo and its other media businesses to private equity firm Apollo Global for $5 billion.
The Chinese website of tech blog Engadget, which was also sold in the deal, was also unavailable on Tuesday and only displayed Yahoo’s announcement on no longer providing content for mainland China users.
“Fortnite” creator Epic Games also said it was shutting down its servers starting Nov. 15, after it stopped new user registrations on Monday.
In August, China introduced new rules that limit the amount of time under-18s can spend on video games to three hours a week, a move it said was necessary to combat gaming addiction. | <urn:uuid:efa3b816-e6b3-4cc9-ad71-dfe3dda308b8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://satofsat.com/yahoo-is-out-of-china-for-good-because-of-challenging-environment/ | 2023-10-04T20:53:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.953745 | 444 |
Embrace the now and achieve your short-term goals with purpose. This guide explores why living in the moment is the new life philosophy captivating minds everywhere.
Many people have felt out of sorts since the pandemic – whether it’s the cancellations, disappointments or endless restriction, and being challenged by something none of us could control. As a result, right now, we might not be as focused on longer-term lifetime ambitions as we were two years ago – and instead feel more determined to seize the day and live for the moment.
A recent survey of 2,000 adults by BMW, to mark the launch of the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer, found 68 percent felt more driven than ever to 'embrace life and step out of their comfort zone to try new things'. The poll reveals a shift in outlook, with half of respondents saying they’re concentrating on shorter-term attainable goals that provide instant pleasure, rather than future aspirations.
“We were suddenly challenged with a situation we couldn’t control,” observes behavioral psychologist Jo Hemming. “We couldn’t control our responses to it – and a curve ball like the pandemic makes people think about life. They go for that dopamine hit, the instant gratification and immediate burst of pleasure. Perhaps they’re fearful the long-term goals don’t matter as much.”
According to the survey, this new-found zest for life includes a host of pursuits people are thinking about – such as surfing, taking a sky-dive or conquering a mountain range – with more than half saying getting older has given them perspective too and made them more driven to achieve their ambitions.
“It’s a good thing we’re doing the things that please us,” says Hemming. “It’s the balance between having the everyday pleasures in life, the rewards, and balancing that with your longer-term goals. But if your longer-term goals are weighing you down, if they’re really restrictive, then you’ve got to go the other way – the small bursts of pleasure you can afford to do, and give you that dopamine hit.”
We’re not saying ditch all your sensible long-term aims. But perhaps the pandemic has reminded us that there’s a lot to enjoy and be grateful for right now too. So how can you let go a little and live more for today? | <urn:uuid:1ffdf6ca-fc34-4320-bcaf-18370fbacbc4> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://savoirflair.com/article/5-tips-for-living-in-the-moment-and-embracing-short-term-goals/385eebe7-8659-4dfc-b47b-de371bef17f6 | 2023-10-04T20:49:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.943444 | 512 |
Among the many crowd had been additionally individuals with ties and ancestry from different Commonwealth nations.
“Regardless of my Pakistani roots, I used to be born right here and felt like I used to be a part of the Commonwealth at one level, a few years in the past now, however I nonetheless have that affinity for the royal household,” Rifat stated. Soyfoo.
“I believed it was the final word alternative to pay tribute,” added Soyfoo. “Everybody retains saying, ‘The Queen God bless her soul labored tirelessly, so selflessly,’ [and talking about] how she introduced the nation collectively, it doesn’t matter what creed, coloration, group you come from.”
“She gave us a lot,” stated Chris Imafidon, a Nigerian British trainer. .”

Most people take an “out of sight, out of mind” approach to their attic insulation. We all know we have it and we may use our attic as a storage space but we aren’t likely to take notice of the effectiveness of the attic insulation. It may seem warm in the summer and cold in the winter, but does it really matter since you are only up there for a few minutes at a time?
The answer is Yes! The trouble is that even if you don’t take notice of the state of the insulation in your attic, that doesn’t mean it isn’t having an impact on your home.
How Poor Attic Insulation Affects You
The effects of poor attic insulation are not limited to the rooms on the top floor. A poorly insulated attic can affect your comfort levels throughout your entire home.
Some of the many signs and effects of failing attic insulation include:
- Variations in room temperature: if you step from room to room and notice variable temperatures, your attic insulation could be the culprit. Assuming that there are no drafty windows in the rooms in questions, it’s likely time to look upwards towards your attic. Poor insulation will drain the heat from your home in the winter and allow warm air inside during the summer. This problem will be more noticeable in rooms that have an access point into your attic.
- Higher energy bills: rising costs may not be the only thing causing your utility bills to increase. Poor attic insulation leads to drafty homes, meaning your furnace and air conditioner will have to work overtime to keep the house at your desired temperature.
- Mold growth: you will need to enter your attic to check for this (make sure to wear a mask). If your attic space smells musty or feels damp, you could have mold growing in your space. You should be looking for visibly wet insulation, black mold and even wet stains on your roofs sheathing. These are clear signs that you may have a leak in your roof that has soiled your insulation. If this is the case, you will need to contact a roofing company to repair the leak in your roof.
When Should You Replace Your Insulation
Attic insulation can last for a very long time. The problems arise when external factors (like leaky roofs) prematurely ruin your insulation. There are many situations that can arise where it may be a good idea to have a professional inspect your insulation:
- You have recently had a leak in your roof
- You have recently had an animal or insect infestation in your attic
- You have recently moved into an older home
- There are noticeable changes in temperature throughout your home
- Your attic space smells musty or appears damp
- You notice many ice dams forming on your roof during the winter

In this paper, a least-square model-based halftoning technique using a genetic algorithm is proposed to produce a halftone image by minimizing the perceived reflectance difference between the halftone image and its original image. We use a least-square criterion incorporating with the property of the human visual system to measure the difference between the two images. The genetic algorithm is used for investigating the complicated search problem. The standard halftoning techniques, such as error diffusion and least-square halftoning, produce gray-level distortion because of dot-gain problem. In this study, we use a modified dot-overlap printer model to compensate the gray-level distortion. The printer model combines with a measurement-based algorithm to estimate the print-dot radius and makes the proposed halftoning approach adapted to a wide variety of printers and papers. Experiments show that the proposed approach produces more accurate gray levels than several common-used halftoning methods produce.

Somatostatin was infused for 5-8 hr into five normal men and eleven normal, conscious dogs. This infusion resulted in a persistent decline in plasma glucagon (40-60%) and insulin (30-45%). Plasma glucose fell 15-25% during the initial 1-2 hr, but subsequently rose to hyperglycemic levels (130-155 mg/100 ml) by 3-6 hr, despite persistent hypoglucagonemia. Glucose production initially declined by 40-50%, but later rose to levels 15-20% above basal rates while peripheral glucose utilization fell to levels 20-30% below basal, thereby accounting for hyperglycemia. Infusion of exogenous insulin so as to restore plasma insulin to preinfusion values or cessation of the somatostatin infusion with restoration of endogenous insulin secretion resulted in a prompt reduction of plasma glucose to baseline values. Prevention of the initial somatostatin induced hypoglycemic response by intravenous infusion of glucose failed to prevent the delayed hyperglycemia. We conclude that somatostatin causes only transient hypoglycemia in normal subjects and that hyperglycemia eventually develops as a consequence of insulin deficiency. These data indicate that basal glucagon secretion is not essential for the development of fasting hyperglycemia and support the conclusion that insulin deficiency rather than glucagon excess is the primary factor responsible for abnormal glucose homeostasis in the diabetic.

Paris, 12 March 2018 – Six years after the bombing of a hidden makeshift press centre in the rebel-held Baba Amr neighbourhood in Homs, that left journalists Rémi Ochlik and Marie Colvin dead, evidence available to French investigators leaves no doubt as to the premeditated, targeted nature of the attack. Likewise, the identities of several individuals alleged to have planned and ordered the attack – all high-ranking members of the Syrian military and security apparatus – is also known. However, no charges have been issued to date. FIDH, together with survivors of the attack and families of the two journalists assassinated in Homs, demand that international arrest warrants against the suspected perpetrators be issued without delay.
A preliminary investigation into the attack was opened in France in 2012, initially for assassination and attempted assassination the focus shifted in 2014 to war crimes. An eyewitness to the planning of the attack recently testified before French investigators and confirmed in particular detail earlier information and evidence in the case file that demonstrates it’s premeditated, targeted nature.
The aim of the attack is now clear: eliminate journalists present in Homs to prevent them from reporting on the regime’s bloody campaign to reclaim Homs and discourage other reporters from coming to Syria to cover the conflict from rebel-held zones. The sequence of events is slowly becoming clearer: starting with the interception and tracking of Marie Colvin’s telephone calls; the presence of an informant near the press centre; a meeting to plan the rocket attack held in the head of the Homs Military Security Committee’s offices; and checks after the attack to make sure no journalists had escaped alive.
Several people identified by witnesses as having worked together to plan and carry out the attack are members of the Syrian military and security elite: Maher El Assad, brother of the Syrian president and Commander of the elite 4th Armoured Division; Ali Mamluk, Head of the Syrian Secret Services; and Rafik Shahadah, Head of the Homs Military Security Committee at the time.
The French investigation is today the only case that targets the criminal responsibility of those behind the attack. It is surprising that the French authorities have taken no formal steps against the suspected perpetrators, despite ample evidence in the case file.

Parkinson's disease affects millions of people worldwide, slowing their movements and making it difficult to walk, but exactly how Parkinson's works remains a bit mysterious. Now, Stanford researchers are challenging a seminal hypothesis of the disease known as the rate hypothesis.
"The idea was there was too much ‘stop’ and not enough ‘go’" in the brain circuits that stop and start movement, "and that's why there's difficulty with movement, said Mark Schnitzer, PhD, the study’s senior author and an associate professor of biology and of applied physics.
Schnitzer, research associate Jones Parker, Schnitzer’s former graduate student Jesse Marshall , PhD, and colleagues decided to test the rate hypothesis in healthy mice and mice with a Parkinson's-like condition, focusing on neurons in those mice's start and stop pathways. As I explain in a Stanford News story:
There were surprises almost immediately.
'We found all this undiscovered structure' in both pathways, Marshall said. Rather than all neurons in one or the other pathway lighting up at once, as the rate hypothesis would suggest, certain clusters seemed to be associated with certain activities. In healthy mice, a cluster in the start pathway might light up as a mouse began to turn left, while another in the stop pathway might light up when that mouse finished grooming its tail.
Mice with a Parkinson's-like condition had less activity in the start circuit, as the rate hypothesis suggested, but also lost all signs of structure in the stop circuit. Now, rather than send signals to terminate specific movements, the stop circuit suppressed many different movements at once.
L-dopa, a common Parkinson's drug, restored normal activity, but only at the right dose. Too high a dose, and L-dopa drove down activity in stop circuits and led to unstructured activity in start circuits, which may explain the jerky, uncontrolled movements that are a common side effect of the drug.

It's one of us : a novel / J.T. Ellison.
"Olivia Bender designs exquisite home interiors that satisfy the most demanding clients. But her own deepest desire can't be fulfilled by marble counters or the perfect rug. She desperately wants to be a mother. Fertility treatments and IVF keep failing. And just when she feels she's at her lowest point, the police deliver shocking news to Olivia and her husband, Park. DNA results show that the prime suspect in a murder investigation is Park's son. Olivia is relieved, knowing this is a mistake. Despite their desire, the Benders don't have any children. Then comes the confession. Many years ago, Park donated sperm to a clinic. He has no idea how many times it was sold--or how many children he has sired. As the murder investigation goes deeper, more terrible truths come to light. With every revelation, Olivia must face the unthinkable. The man she married has fathered a killer. But can she hold that against him when she keeps such dark secrets of her own?"--Provided by publisher.

A whole new year is right around the corner, and you know what that means for Samsung: a new Galaxy phone.
As the company prepares to launch its next flagship Galaxy phone (expected to be called the Galaxy S10) early next year, several reports of leaked features suggest the plan of attack is the same as it's been: overwhelm rivals with tons of new features.
The latest S10 whispers come from the Wall Street Journal. The report claims Samsung's next phone could come in three display sizes, measuring between 5.8 to 6.4 inches. These three versions are rumored to come with 3 to 5 cameras.
Additionally, the WSJ says Samsung's working on a special fourth version with a massive 6.7-inch screen (the largest ever in a Samsung Galaxy S or Note phone) that'll include 5G cellular connectivity. This would be Samsung's first 5G phone and would be released initially in the U.S. and South Korea.
This 5G-equipped Galaxy S10 might have six cameras — two on the front and four on the rear. Even the most sophisticated smartphone, such as the LG V40 ThinQ and Huawei Mate20 Pro only have five and four cameras, respectively.
It's still unclear which, but some S10's might have a reverse wireless charging feature, which would allow the phone's backside to wirelessly charge another device, such as another phone or a pair of wireless earbuds. Huawei's Mate20 Pro already has this feature.
These new features alone could make the S10 stand out for the phone line's 10th anniversary, but there's more we've heard.
Previous reports suggest the S10 could have a built-in ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, displays that stretch even closer toward the edges with only a "punch hole" cutout in one corner for the selfie camera (so no notch), and Samsung's revamped "One UI" interface for Android 9 Pie.
No word on whether Samsung will use a next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon chip (it's very likely), but it's possible a rumored Exynos 9820-powered variant could be quite the powerhouse. The 8-nanometer chip has eight cores and is 20 percent faster on single-core, and 15 percent faster on multi-core operations.
The chip also has a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) just for handling AI tasks, a faster LTE modem capable of up to 2Gbps download speeds, and an improved image signal processor for possibly better video recording (8K-resolution capture at 30 fps or 4K-resolution at 150 fps).
It's a lot to take in if you're not a phone geek. These rumors all suggest the S10 might boil down to a classic Samsung philosophy: More everything.
Premium hardware is easy now, and Samsung needs to make software advancements a priority.
As a tech reporter and reviewer, that has me a little worried. I've watched Samsung cram more and more technologies into its phones over the last decade, and while it makes for an impressive spec list to boast about, it also pushes software into the backseat.
A bigger screen, larger battery, more cameras, and faster performance will always be things to look forward to, but Samsung still needs to work on its software. It's not just slapping a new "One UI" coat of paint on top of Android and calling it day.
Increasingly, phone makers are levering AI to improve things like voice assistants, to better predict what you want to do before you do it, and even to aid mobile photography (i.e., the impressive Night Sight feature for the Pixel 3).
Samsung's made some headway improving its once promising Bixby assistant, which was originally intended to allow users to use voice controls for all phone operations in lieu of touching and tapping. But Bixby is still nowhere near as intelligent as Amazon's Alexa, Google's Assistant, or even Apple's Siri.
Samsung's weakness has never been hardware — it's software. And with the S10, that doesn't appear to be changing. I could be proven wrong as Samsung gets on stage to announce myriad ways software will be pushed front and center, but I wouldn't bet on it.
What Samsung needs to do to make the S10 a winner — to give people a compelling reason to upgrade — is to balance both new hardware and software features. Otherwise, I predict it won't be able to maintain a lead (if it gets one) for long.
Premium hardware is easy now. Huawei, OnePlus, and virtually every phone maker can easily catch up. Not to mention, cramming in more hardware features is a risk of its own without additional safety checks. Samsung won't want another Note 7 situation on its hands just because it decided to pack more into a glass and metal slab.
Software is hard. Samsung needs to make software advancements a priority as well. | <urn:uuid:65f0b77d-e6c6-4711-88f0-2a4a1958cc52> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sea.mashable.com/tech/1231/samsungs-galaxy-s10-sounds-like-its-gonna-be-more-of-everything-that-could-be-a-problem | 2023-10-04T19:43:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.957147 | 1,002 |
This recipe for Wonton Soup can be whipped up in under 15 minutes if you plan ahead and make the wontons in advance. I like to make a big batch and freeze them in plastic bags for when I am in need of a quick soup fix. This recipe is very versatile- you can use whatever stock you prefer, you can use vegetarian or meat-based wontons, and you can add whatever veggies you like! You can even up the protein by adding small cubes of tofu to the soup as well.
Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 10 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes
- 6 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon ginger, finely chopped
- 16 wontons (vegetable or pork)
- 2-3 cups bok choy (or any dark leafy green)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt, to taste
- Sesame oil, for garnish
- Chili flakes or your favourite chili oil, for garnish
- 1 scallion, chopped, for garnish
Place the stock and ginger in a small stock pot over medium-high heat. Once the stock has come to a rolling boil, add the wontons. Give the soup a quick stir so that the wontons do not stick together.
After 2 minutes, add the bok choy and soy sauce. Reduce the heat to medium, cover and let simmer for 4-5 minutes, or until the bok choy has wilted. Taste the soup and add extra salt to taste (all depends on your stock!).
Divide the soup into two bowls and add the sesame oil, chili flakes/chili oil and scallions for garnish. Serve immediately. Enjoy 🙂
Ohhhhh ya! I love my chili oil <3 | <urn:uuid:b133bb54-29bf-4f76-9a1a-3b9be6b1508f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://seasonandserveblog.com/soups/wonton-soup/ | 2023-10-04T21:14:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.893192 | 379 |
2 March 2016:
The local government on Thursday launched “Task Force Usok” to intensify its anti-smoking campaign in all private establishments and public places here.
Mayor Joseph Evangelista personally visited and posted anti-smoking signage in schools, hotels, department stores, and the city’s public market to boost efforts on the initiative.
The drive was fully backed by the Department of Health (DOH) campaign on eradicating respiratory illnesses of city residents brought about by cigarette smoking.
Evangelista said the task force would oversee the full implementation of the city’s Anti-Smoking Ordinance and review of its implementing rules and regulations.
The task force, for its part, has recommended before the city council’s Committee on Health to implement stiffer penalties to individual and establishment owners violating the ordinance.
Evangelista has also deputized city police personnel, village officials and watchmen and traffic officers to strengthen the campaign.
Only last year, the city was a recipient of the DOH Red Orchard Award for making the locality a smoke – free zone. | <urn:uuid:6ddac211-1080-4054-b800-6670d8f1ea34> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://seatca.org/kidapawan-city-creates-task-force-usok-to-bolster-anti-smoking-ordinance/ | 2023-10-04T19:04:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.956776 | 224 |

Pride and Prejudice is a classic novel by Jane Austen and is often considered one of the greatest works of English literature. The novel tells the story of the Bennet family and their five unmarried daughters. The Bennets live in the small village of Meryton and one day the wealthy and handsome Mr. Bingley and his friend, Mr. Darcy, move into their neighborhood. The eldest Bennet daughter, Jane, soon finds herself attracted to Mr. Bingley and the second eldest, Elizabeth, takes an immediate dislike to Mr. Darcy due to his haughty and dismissive behavior. However, as the novel progresses, Elizabeth begins to understand that her initial impressions of Mr. Darcy were wrong, and she eventually falls in love with him. The novel deals with themes of social class, love, and marriage in early nineteenth century England. Through the character of Mr. Darcy, Austen explores the concept of the “gentleman” and the idea that social standing does not necessarily equate to good moral character. The novel also deals with the struggle between pride and prejudice, as Elizabeth learns to look beyond her initial impressions of Mr. Darcy and to consider the merits of his character. Though Elizabeth discovers the true nature of Mr. Darcy, she still struggles to overcome her own pride and prejudice and to accept the idea of an unequal marriage with Mr. Darcy. The novel is full of witty dialogue and delightful characters, and it is still as relevant today as it was when it was first published in 1813. Pride and Prejudice is a timeless classic that has captivated generations of readers and remains one of the most beloved novels in the English language.

What is the history of World Vegetarian Day?
‘Vegetarian’ was often referred to as the Pythagorean diet before the term ‘vegetarian’ was popularized in the mid-1800s. The ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician was an early proponent of the Pythagorean diet, which is why it was named after him.
Then, in the 1960s, awareness of the vegetarian diet began to rise in the US and Great Britain, leading to the founding of the North American Vegetarian Society on October 1st as World Vegetarian Day in 1977. Because vegetarian food is not only better for health, but also better for the environment.
What is the purpose of World Vegetarian Day?
A vegetarian diet focuses on vegetables, seeds, legumes, fruits, nuts and grains. It also includes animal products such as eggs, dairy products and honey, which are obtained without killing the animal or consuming its meat.
World Vegetarian Day is celebrated to highlight environmental aspects, animal welfare and personal health benefits to encourage people to give up animal products. A vegetarian diet has been proven to be beneficial for health in many studies.
The day is also celebrated to raise awareness to save animal lives and help conserve the earth.

the new screenwriter's survival guide
The New Screenwriter’s Survival Guide web page is up. Ooh la la. Why, you ask, does the book have a page before it is in print? Planning, my ninjas, planning. The page needs to be around long enough to get picked up by search engines and propagate so when the eBooks come out in November it has presence on the web.
Hence all this frenzy to get the art work done and the page up even though I think eBook editing and release will still take another month and a half.

Don Brooks is well known to many long time semiconductor insiders, like myself, but most SemiWiki readers have probably never heard of him. Don is a semiconductor legend and here is his story. This will be in two parts since he had a big impact on the semiconductor industry and TSMC. From 1991 to 1997 Don served as President of TSMC and helped grow the nascent company into what it is today, the world’s largest semiconductor foundry with a market capitalization of $500B.
Don Brooks passed away in 2013 and here is the story from his memorial. If you read between the lines you can get a real sense of who Don really was, a very intelligent, driven, semiconductor professional of the highest caliber, absolutely.
Don graduated from Sunset High School in 1957 and was a key player on their basketball team, which won the City Championship his senior year. Don attended Tarleton State College on a basketball scholarship his freshman year. He married his high school sweetheart in 1958 and enrolled in SMU under a co-op program with Texas Instruments.
He happened to be assigned to TI’s Research Lab during a time when Jack Kilby invented/developed the integrated circuit. Consequently, his entire 25-year career at TI focused on the commercialization and production of semiconductors. He rapidly rose through the ranks of TI’s management and became the youngest man ever to be promoted to Senior Vice President at Texas Instruments. Under his leadership TI developed a reputation as the world’s leading supplier of MOS memories.
In 1983 he became President & CEO of Fairchild Industries in Mountain View, CA. He founded KLM Capital in 1988 and served as its Chairman for years. Don joined TSMC as President in 1991. During his tenure as President, TSMC returned to profitability, and grew to become the world’s largest independent semiconductor fabrication company.
Morris Chang, Founder and Chairman of TSMC had these words to say about Don’s tenure as President of the Company “Since his arrival in 1991 Don Brooks has provided dramatic leadership that built TSMC into the world’s most successful dedicated foundry”. TSMC grew at an average annual rate of 54% over Don’s time as President of the Company and achieved record profits.
Following TSMC, he was a board member of United Microelectronics Corporation of Taiwan (NYSE: UMC and TSE: 2303) and previously served as its President and co-Chief Executive Officer from 1997-1999. From what I understand, Morris Chang and Don had a disagreement (broken promise) and moving across the street to UMC was Don’s way of resolving it.
In addition to Don’s success as a senior executive, he also had significant success as a private investor including, but not limited to;
Don was the first outside investor in Silicon Labs (SLAB; NASDAQ) one of the premier success stories of the Austin high tech boom, and he was the first outside investor in Broadcom (BRCM; NASDAQ) one of the most successful startup semiconductor companies of all time.
One thing that impresses me about Don and other semiconductor legends is their dedication to family. In my opinion, fifty plus year marriages show true character, compassion, and the ability to compromise. My father’s parents were married for 72 years, I saw it first hand, something I aspire to.
There is a lot more to Don’s TSMC story of course and that is what I will cover in Part II. | <urn:uuid:0c327ae8-c000-4381-9cc2-cb6c02d85fb3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://semiwiki.com/semiconductor-manufacturers/334477-former-tsmc-president-don-brooks/ | 2023-10-04T21:08:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.984195 | 735 |

Whether you’re turning 65 and new to Medicare or changing your plan during the Annual Enrollment Period, here are 3 things to know before choosing a Medicare plan.
Before you jump to our big reveal, it’s important to understand that there are two types of Medicare Plans to choose from. Let’s take a closer look at your Medicare Plan Options.
Medicare Supplement vs. Medicare Advantage
- Medicare Supplement Plans (Medigap Insurance Plans)
- Work with Original Medicare and act as secondary insurance.
- Most popular Medigap Plans are: Medigap Plan F, Medigap Plan G and Medigap Plan N.
- Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plans have no network and do not require referrals. You can see any facility or provider in the country as long as they accept Medicare.
- Supplemental Insurance Plans do not include coverage for drugs, dental, vision and hearing. You can purchase those plans in addition to your Medigap Plan.
- Medicare Advantage Plans (Medicare Part C)
- Are considered “Medicare Replacement” Plans, as these plans act as your Primary payor.
- The most popular plans: HMO, PPO, and Dual-Eligible for Medicaid.
- Attractive because of the low to $0 premiums.
- All plans have a network, and some require referrals.
- Most include coverage for drugs and sometimes include dental, vision, hearing and more.
To learn more about the difference between Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage plans, watch our short video here https://youtu.be/Lk5riDwO51o .
Ok, now that you have a better understanding on the types of Medicare plans available to you, lets dig in a bit more.
3 things to know before choosing a Medicare Plan
- Budget. Now that you are retired, budgeting should play a key role in your decision-making process.
- Premiums. Think about what you can afford. Sometimes you get what you pay for with insurance.
- Deductibles, Co-pays, Co-insurance, Max-Out-Of-Pocket. Regardless of the plan you choose, you will have expenses throughout the year (unless you have a Medigap Plan F). Be sure to ask your agent about these costs and how it may impact you based on your previous and current overall health.
- Travel. Some Medicare plans will not cover you when traveling our of the service area (unless in emergency). Take this into consideration when choosing a plan. Medigap plans have no network and traditionally provide the most flexibility when traveling.
- Health. Consider your past and current health. We don’t have a crystal ball- but you know yourself. Medicare Advantage plans can be a great fit for healthy individuals.
- Network. Medicare Advantage plans have a network. Be sure your doctor(s) accept the plan(s) you are considering.
- Referrals. Traditionally, HMO plans require referrals. However, we have seen recently that not all HMO’s require referrals for a specialist. Keep this in mind when choosing a plan.
- All-In-One Plans. Medicare Advantage plans are convenient because they generally include your health, drugs and additional benefits in one plan. On the other hand, if you choose traditional Medicare and a Medicare Supplemental Plan, you need to purchase additional coverage to obtain those additional benefits.
Medicare Enrollment Periods
😤Choosing the right Medicare plan can be confusing and stressful.
🤗The good news is that if you make a mistake or are not happy with your plan, you may be able to change. There are several Medicare Enrollment Periods throughout the year that you may be eligible for. Below are some examples of different Medicare Enrollment Periods.
- Initial Enrollment Period (New to Medicare or Turning 65)
- Medicare Advantage Open Enrollment Period (Allows Medicare beneficiaries with a Medicare Advantage Plan to make changes)
- Medicare Annual Enrollment Period (Allows all Medicare beneficiaries to make plan changes)
- Special Enrollment Period (Allows specific, eligible beneficiaries to change plans based on qualifying scenarios).

Frequently Asked Medicare Questions
What is the best Medicare Plan?
The best Medicare Plan is different for everyone. There is no one-size fits all when it comes to choosing the right insurance plan for you. We have clients on Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage Plans. Some clients prefer a PPO over a Plan G.
If I don’t like my Medicare plan, can I change?
Yes. You can change your Medicare plan if you don’t like it. You may qualify for a special enrollment period that allows you to change in the middle of the year. Call us today to see if you’re eligible. 866-633-4427.
What is the difference between a Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage Plan?
There are 3 key differences between a Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage Plan.
- Additional Benefits
If Medigap Plan G better than Medigap Plan N?
Medigap Plan G is better than Medigap Plan N, because it provides more coverage. However, the plan N provides great value for the price and should not be overlooked when comparing plans. Watch this video, “Plan G vs Plan N, which is better?“
What is the difference between a HMO and PPO?
HMO’s plans traditionally require referrals to see a specialist. Although, that is not true for all HMO plans. PPO plans provide more coverage if you have to go outside if the plan network for medical services. Watch this video, “HMO vs PPO, which is better?“
How much do Medigap Insurance Plans cost?
Medigap Insurance Plans cost will vary depending on several factors, such as:
- Tobacco Use
- Household discounts, if applicable
How much do Medicare Advantage Plans cost?
Many Medicare Advantage plans are little to $0 premium per month. Of course, nothing in life is free. So, you should expect copays and other out of pocket costs with these plans.

First responders and military personnel are often in dangerous situations where they are assaulted by an ambush of sights, sounds and smells making it extremely difficult to respond in a rational manner. Research shows that repeated training exposure to these types of sensory overload can familiarize and desensitize our brains to these assaults, helping to create a less stressed and more lucid response in real-life precarious situations. SensoryCo provides an extensive array of non-toxic aromas and malodors for first responder and military olfactory desensitization training.
Imagine the gamut of emergency or military conditions with overwhelming sights or blinding smoke, unfamiliar or deafening sounds, and nauseating and toxic smells. From gunfire to explosions, distant villages with the mix of novel smells, sewage, car exhaust and more; burning rubber tires or plastic; toxic chemicals and drug labs – all of these smells can be overwhelming, sickening and even disorienting when in the field with other extreme stressors. SensoryCo provides all of these authentic yet non-toxic smell effects for training, and works closely with agencies and organizations to provide custom odors as well.
In addition, SensoryCo has developed a range of scent generators for first responder and military olfactory desensitization training, easily used indoors or outside, in various size areas, with up to six different scents, several means for control or distribution, and more. The largest generators can accommodate a training area over 50,000 feet.
Olfactory input and desensitization has also been found to be successful in PTSD prevention and treatment for the military. Using virtual reality, researchers have been able to integrate the sights, sounds and now, smells, into a controllable treatment environment. This therapy may help soldiers mentally prepare or deal with the physiological stressors they may face during deployment.
SensoryCo is a leading innovator in military and first responder multisensory training solutions, including scent effects and scent generators as well as non-toxic smoke and vapors for training and simulation. We are dedicated to providing custom training options to help keep out first responders and military personnel as prepared and safe as possible. | <urn:uuid:34f5d477-8065-4953-a07e-146976330d09> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sensorycots.com/sensoryco-first-responders-prepare-military-olfactory-desensitization | 2023-10-04T18:51:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.949441 | 445 |
30 Apr Are Church Sign Ministries Important?
The woman eased her car onto Route 37 South of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Her life was coming apart. A bitter divorce and a broken family had brought on a depression she felt could only be relieved by committing suicide. Her intention was to pull her car into the path of an oncoming semi-trailer truck on the two lane highway. Her life, and the pain she was in would end, and no one would know she had committed suicide. As she neared the town of Middleville, she noticed a church on her right. The church had a sign in front with a message on it.
The First Baptist Church of Middleville had placed a Christian message, or as the author prefers to call them, a “sentence sermon,” on the sign. The woman read the message, pulled over, and changed her mind about the suicide. She put her life back together and some time later picked up a pen and wrote the church a letter thanking them for the sign and message. She said it had saved her life. When the author talked to the pastor, who had received the letter, he could not remember the message they had on their sign when the woman passed by; it’s clear, however, that God used the “sentence sermon” to impact the woman’s life.
Are church signs important? Can they make a difference? Change lives? You bet they can. They won’t save a life every day, but they can minister to people who pass by the church, and they can present messages of hope and promise to, what the author calls, the church’s “Drive-by Congregation.”
Churches Have Drive-by Congregations
Some churches have thousands of people driving by in a 24 hour period. A well maintained back lighted church sign can present God’s truth to these passers-by 24 hours a day at a very low cost. Most Christians will agree that if we are faithful to present God’s truth, even in small “sentence sermon” form, the Holy Spirit will use that message to speak to someone’s heart.
Churches that have well planned and administered church sign ministry programs will inevitably have stories like the one above to illustrate their effectiveness. But to be effective a church needs to envision a ministry that is designed to reach out and meet the needs of their “Drive-by Congregation.” Churches find, by the way, that if they have an effective sign ministry with potent Christian messages, people will alter their driving habits to go by the church to see what truth is displayed. People on their way to work will go by to get their “thought for the day,” which may become a topic of conversation at work and be passed on to others. Experience dictates that if churches are faithful to present God’s truth it will be used by the Holy Spirit and impact people in ways we can’t even imagine.
Some churches do a wonderful job of church sign ministry, others do reasonably well, while others do nothing at all. This article is written to encourage and help those who would like engage in this form of ministry.
Why Not Serve The Drive-by Congregation?
So why don’t all churches serve their “Drive-by Congregations” with “sentence sermons?” There are many reasons. Some feel it is unsophisticated to put up such messages – that it is not done in “high church” situations. Others have pastors who insist the only sign message of importance is their sermon topic for Sunday. Still others have old signs that are too small for the messages or signs whose letters are too small to be read by those driving by. Other churches reserve their signs for advertising church events and some have had negative reactions to previous messages and have given up on doing a sign ministry. Still others have trouble finding someone who will faithfully and consistently change the letters on the sign, particularly on cold winter days. And some don’t do it because they have never thought about the outreach opportunities presented by those driving by their church every day. Each and every one of these reasons can easily be overcome, if a church catches the vision of what can happen in effective church sign ministry.
Those churches that are most effective in sign ministry are those which are most evangelistic in nature and who are excited about carrying out the “Great Commission.” They see their passers-by as a mission field, as well as a diverse group of people who need God’s truth. Henry David Thoreau once said that all people are, “living lives of quiet desperation.” That is not necessarily literally true, particularly for the mature Christian, but it is true for many people. A bit of truth on a church sign can often reach out to these people with a message of hope to relieve the desperation.
Sign Ministry Requirements
So what is needed to have an effective church sign ministry? Here are some suggestions:
- The church and pastor must have a vision of the church sign ministry as an important part of the church’s ministry. They need to see it as one way of carrying out the “Great Commission” and a way to bring hope and comfort to those who pass the church. The sign ministry must be perceived as a “ministry” that is serving their “Drive by Congregation,” and worthy of church time and resources.
- The church must have a sign that is adequate for presenting the “sentence sermons.” A sign of at least 4 lines, 8” letters, and which allows 22-23 characters across works best. It should be back lighted for night time viewing. Some churches are going to the newer electronic signs, which are more expensive and have some advantages (and also some disadvantages). A good fixed letter sign with the specifications above will usually cost $5,000 to $7,000 and a similar four line electronic sign about $35,000. The J.M. Stewart sign company in Florida, which claims to be one of the largest church sign companies in America, suggests a fixed letter sign will pay for itself in 3-5 years from the giving of new people who come to the church just because of the sign. In a church in Maryland, where the author worked with a sign ministry, the church consistently had one to two new families a month come to the church because of the sign.
- The church should develop a series of policies regarding the church sign use and apply them wisely. These policies should cover such things as who will select the messages, who will change messages, when will they be changed, will the sign be used for ads or “sermons,” under what conditions, and who will determine this? Consistency in changing messages is important because the “Drive-by Congregation” will come to anticipate the messages, and even alter driving patterns to drive by. The church sign also becomes, in effect, the church speaking to those who pass by. It needs to be done with a great deal of prayer, thought, and care. Some churches have run into problems when their messages touched sensitive political and social issues. It’s important to be aware of these sensitivities.
One issue often causes problems in churches using signs. Should the sign be used exclusively for “sentence sermons” or for other church announcements as well? This can easily cause problems as people and programs compete for sign space. This matter needs to be resolved and written into policy. If a church has only one sign, as most do, there are some possible solutions. Some will dedicate the sign completely to “sentence sermons.” Other churches will use the sign for “sermons” from Sunday through Wednesday and use the sign the balance of the week for other announcements including the sermon title for Sunday. Still other churches use one side of the sign for messages and the other side for announcements. Churches will find their “Drive-by Congregation” will adjust to the sign policy, as long as the church is consistent in its use.
The new electronic signs make it easy to change messages, usually by computer from within the church, and some churches with them intersperse announcements with “sermons,” however, every time the message is changed reading time is lost. The average driver has 3-5 seconds to read a message unless the church is located at a stop sign or light. Every second lost changing an electronic message may lose a potential reader. Some churches have purchased one or two line electronic signs, which are less expensive but they are not as effective in sign ministry, as a four line fixed letter or four line electronic sign, because they must constantly change material reducing reading time.
A few years ago a man passed a church with a sign ministry in Upper Marlboro, Maryland. He stopped his car, went into the church with tears streaming down his face. He gave the church secretary a $20 bill and thanked her for the message on the church sign. He said, “It’s just what I needed.” The church didn’t know who he was nor have they seen him since. He was a part of their “Drive-by Congregation” and that church sign was used by the Holy Spirit that day; and so it can be for any church which has such a ministry.
Church sign ministry can be an exciting adventure for churches who want to reach out to passersby and touch people with the truth of God. A well designed effective church ministry can save lives both physically, as shown above, but even more importantly spiritually, as the Holy Spirit uses the truth the church presents to impact the lives of people reading our signs. We will not know the full consequences of a good sign ministry in this life, as many impacted by it will not tell us, but we’ll know the full value of it in the life to come. | <urn:uuid:fde1df1c-090d-44e7-8b47-78a8333084c1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sentencesermons.com/are-church-sign-ministries-important/ | 2023-10-04T21:07:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.97806 | 2,071 |
There’s something about the warmth and charm a wooden staircase exudes. Wouldn’t you agree?
Whilst you can leave them bare – giving your home a stunning natural look and showing off the wood’s unique grains – painting a wooden staircase is sure to switch up the look in your hallway.
But how easy is it to keep painted wooden staircases clean?
Allow us to share some top tips to help prevent dirt, grime and stains from accumulating and ruining your beautiful painted wooden stairs.
What tools are needed to clean a painted wooden staircase?
Contrary to popular belief, you only need a few basic tools to give your painted stairs a thorough clean, including:
- a hoover or brush
- a bowl of warm water
- a clean cloth
- a mild detergent or good-quality wood cleaner
- a multi-purpose cleaner
- a soft-bristled brush or sponge
What’s the best way to prepare painted wooden stairs for cleaning?
Before you begin cleaning your wooden stairs, there are a few simple steps you need to do – but don’t worry, it won’t take you long!
Start by moving any objects that are on the stairs and landings. Shoes, bags and toys need to be out of the way if you’re to clean the staircase properly.
To prevent stones and other debris from scratching your painted stairs when you’re wiping them down, you’ll need to give them a quick sweep with a brush or vacuum cleaner. If you share your home with furry friends, this will also help to pick up any pet hair, ensuring you don’t rub it into the wood with your cloth.
How are painted wooden staircases cleaned?
After you’ve swept up dirt, dust, debris and pet hair from your painted stairs using a long-handled brush or the special attachment on your hoover, it’s time to don your rubber gloves, grab a cloth and fill a bowl with warm water.
Using a slightly damp cloth, give all stair parts a good wipe down – paying special attention to the corners and edges and not forgetting the handrail, in between the spindles, all around the newel posts and caps or underneath the bannister.
If your painted staircase is particularly dirty or grubby looking, add a dash of mild soap to some warm water and rinse out your cloth before wiping over it. You then need to dry the stairs using a clean cloth or towel to prevent water damage.
What if painted wood stairs are stained?
Whether it be juice, water or something that’s been trodden in on the bottom of someone’s shoe, stains are not uncommon – especially in busy family households.
To tackle nasty stains, you’re going to need an all-purpose or special wood cleaner and a soft brush or sponge. Then, using some elbow grease, gently scrub away the stains – taking care not to chip any of the paintwork on your staircase.
Depending on how tough the stain is, you may need to repeat the process several times for a spotless finish.
How often do painted stairs need to be cleaned?
To keep your stairs looking as good as new, for as long as possible, you need to clean them regularly.
Consider hoovering them at least once a week to prevent dirt and dust from accumulating.
It’s also worth giving the handrails and other frequently touched surfaces a good wipe down every few days. After all, mucky fingerprints can affect the look and safety of your painted wooden staircase.
As soon as you drop or spill something on your painted steps, you must act fast to prevent further damage. The longer you leave liquids to absorb into the wood, the harder it will be to remove stains.
What’s the best way to keep a painted wooden staircase clean?
It’s only right that you want to keep your wooden flight of stairs as pristine as possible.
A great way to do just that would be to place a mat at the bottom of the stairs, encouraging everyone to wipe their footwear – or better yet, remove them – before climbing the stairs.
Depending on how lenient you are as a pet owner, your pets might have become accustomed to accessing all the rooms in your house – both upstairs and downstairs. However, if they have long hair and shed a lot, you may want to consider training them to stay on the lower levels only – helping to keep your painted stairs free from pet dander and reducing the need to clean them as often.

President Jokowi to Attend 40th, 41st ASEAN Summit in Cambodia
President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo Wednesday (11/09) headed to Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh to attend the 40th and the 41st ASEAN Summit. Accompanied by the First Lady Ibu Iriana Jokowi and his entourage, President Jokowi took off from I Gusti Ngurah Rai international airport in Bali at around 17.00 Central Indonesian Time.
“I am slated to attend the 40th and the 41st ASEAN Summit and other related summits until November 13, 2022. There will be more than 20 meetings that I have to attend,” the President said.
The Head of State went on to say that one of the main issues that will be a concern for Indonesia is Indonesia’s ASEAN Chairmanship in 2023. Through its chairmanship, Indonesia will adopt the theme “ASEAN Matters: Epicentrum of Growth”.
“It is our hope that ASEAN will remain vital and relevant (ASEAN matters). It is also our hope that Southeast Asia will still be an epicentrum of growth. Indeed, it is not an easy task considering that global challenges will be enormous in 2023. Moreover, ASEAN also faces internal issue related to Myanmar’s situation,” President Jokowi added.
Furthermore, after attending a number of summits in Phnom Penh in Cambodia, President Jokowi, the First Lady, and his entourage will head back to Indonesia in November 13, 2022 to attend a series of G20 Summit in Bali.

By Morgan Housel
To be an investor, you have to be an optimist. And to be an optimist, you have to know where progress comes from and what causes it.
So, let’s look at the basics.
The idea of growth is pretty new. For thousands of years, humans went nowhere.
World GDP per capita was barely higher in the year 1400 than it was in the year 1 AD. Europe’s standard of living actually declined for half a millennia after the fall of Rome as previous innovations were lost and forgotten. Progress just wasn’t part of the equation.
Then, around the middle of the 19th century, things changed. Growth exploded, exponentially and nearly everywhere. After stagnating for a thousand years GDP per person has increased tenfold in the last 150 years.
Why? A combination of the steam engine, the telegraph, and electricity is the common (and right) answer.
But it leaves the question: Why then?
People were capable of innovating for thousands of years, as the Romans proved. What happened in the 19th century that unleashed a wave of powerful inventions?
Investor William Bernstein writes in his book The Birth of Plenty that people are predisposed for progress as long as their environment provides four things:
1. Secure property rights. This didn’t exist for most of history. There was no incentive for inventors to create wealth because it would have been seized by “feudal aristocracy, the state, the Church, or common criminals,” Bernstein writes. That changed in the 1700s as individual laws took hold and continued into the 20th century as democracy spread.
2. A scientific view of the world. Before acceptance of scientific principles was a world of superstition and guessing, neither of which fosters progress and often revolted against it when it arose. Bernstein wrote: “No European dared to think creatively or scientifically, since original thoughts often condemned their creator to oblivion both in this world and the next.”
3. Widely available and open sources of funding. There were hardly any markets for capital until investors began trading bonds in 16th century Holland. Before that, the money needed to start and grow a business didn’t exist for the huge majority of the world that wasn’t born rich.
4. Rapid communication and cheap transport of goods. Even when the first three came together, for most of history businesses “could not have advertised and inexpensively transported their wares to consumers in distant cities.” That took advances in shipping, railroads, the telegraph, and trade pacts between countries.
Bernstein writes that it wasn’t until the 1820s that all four factors coalesced in the English-speaking world, and not until the mid-20th century for much of Asia and Latin America. Africa is still stitching the four together, slowly.
There’s more to growth than those four factors. Demographics, natural resources, and more play into the equation. But nothing moves without those four factors in place. And the good news is that more of the world has those four factors in place now than at any time in history.
The economy always oscillates, boom to bust. Bad policy and dumb decisions slows us down and keeps us from achieving our potential. But almost all examples of permanent decline are caused by one of these four factors missing. It’s hard to slow people down once all four are in place. They get creative, invent new things, and figure out better ways to do old things, which pushes the whole ship forward.
The existence of these four factors is the backbone of economic optimism. The rest of the equation is waiting for businesses to create value.
How do they do that?
Again, here are some basics — prerequisites for individual business success.
Companies succeed and fail for all kinds of reasons. But you’ll find a few common denominators among the clear winners.
In the book The Everything Store, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos was asked why Amazon succeeded where others failed. He gave three reasons, which I’d consider the backbone of lasting individual business success:
1. “We are genuinely customer-centric.”
2. “We are genuinely long-term oriented.”
3. “We genuinely like to invent.”
Most companies are not those things. They are focused on the competitor, rather than the customer. They want to work on things that will pay dividends in two or three years, and if they don’t work in two or three years, they will move on to something else. And they prefer to be close-followers rather than inventors, because it’s safer.
Businesses can prosper for some time without these factors. Yet wherever you find lasting success, you’ll likely find these three traits. Most competitors are just as smart as you are, so to stay ahead you have to be doing things they aren’t willing to do. Those three traits are the bedrock principles of what most businesses aren’t willing to do, but create lasting value for those that are.
This is way oversimplified. But it’s the foundation of success, and therefore the foundation of what we should pay attention to. And the more you see it, the more optimistic you get about the future.

The Allman Brothers Band was an influential American rock band that emerged in the late 1960s and achieved significant success throughout the 1970s. The group is widely regarded as one of the pioneers of Southern rock, a genre that blended elements of rock, blues, country, and jazz.
The band was formed in Jacksonville, Florida, in 1969 by brothers Duane Allman (guitar) and Gregg Allman (vocals, organ). The original lineup also included Dickey Betts (guitar), Berry Oakley (bass), Butch Trucks (drums), and Jai Johanny “Jaimoe” Johanson (drums). Their unique sound combined intricate guitar harmonies, improvisational jams, and powerful dual drumming.
The Allman Brothers Band gained a loyal following for their energetic live performances, which often featured extended improvisations and jam sessions. They released their self-titled debut album in 1969, followed by the critically acclaimed “Idlewild South” in 1970. However, it was their third studio album, “At Fillmore East” (1971), recorded live at the famous New York City venue, that brought them widespread recognition and is considered one of the greatest live albums in rock history.
Tragically, in 1971, Duane Allman died in a motorcycle accident at the age of 24. Despite the devastating loss, the band continued and released several successful albums throughout the 1970s, including “Eat a Peach” (1972) and “Brothers and Sisters” (1973). The latter album featured the band’s biggest hit, “Ramblin’ Man,” which reached the top of the charts.
The Allman Brothers Band experienced internal conflicts and lineup changes over the years. Duane Allman was replaced by guitarist Les Dudek and later by Warren Haynes, who became a key member alongside Betts. The band continued to tour and release albums, but by the late 1970s, personal issues, substance abuse problems, and creative differences led to multiple breakups and reunions.
In the 1990s, the band experienced a resurgence of popularity and critical acclaim with a new lineup that included Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks (nephew of Butch Trucks), and Oteil Burbridge. They released successful albums like “Seven Turns” (1990) and “Hittin’ the Note” (2003).
The Allman Brothers Band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1995 and received a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2012. Their influence can be heard in the work of numerous rock and jam bands that followed, and their legacy as one of the most important and influential rock groups continues to resonate in the world of music. | <urn:uuid:a8771f35-aaaf-4ea0-ba67-b3d3e6fc85f2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sfl.media/the-allman-brothers-band-live-at-the-university-of-florida-in-1982-full-concert/ | 2023-10-04T21:00:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.966704 | 571 |

Understanding the Importance of Efficient Data Discovery
As an IT decision maker, you understand how critical data discovery is in driving business decisions. Access to the correct data at the right time empowers your team to make informed decisions, streamline operations, and propel your business forward.
But what happens when data isn’t readily accessible? Inefficient document searching can severely hinder productivity. Time spent in fruitless searches is time lost, leading to delayed decision-making and missed opportunities.
Exploring the Challenges in Enterprise Document Search
Data Overload: The Issue of Excessive Unstructured Data
The modern enterprise is inundated with unstructured data, which can be overwhelming to manage. Traditional data management systems often struggle to effectively handle this vast quantity of unstructured information, leading to inefficiencies and data oversights.
- Time Wasted: The Impact of Inefficient Document Searches on Productivity
Research indicates that employees spend nearly 20% of their time searching for information. That’s almost one day each week! The inefficiencies inherent in searching for documents are more than just a nuisance – they are costly to your business.
- Difficulties in Data Discovery: Understanding User-Friendly Solutions
Navigating through unstructured data can be daunting for end-users. To maximize productivity, you need a user-friendly data discovery solution that is intuitive, reliable, and efficient.
What is Enterprise Search? The Key to Efficient Data Management
Enterprise search offers a powerful solution to these challenges. It refers to the ability to search data across the entire organization, tapping into both structured and unstructured data. Enterprise search is more than a convenience – it’s a strategic tool for enhancing operational efficiency.

The Role of Enterprise Search in Managing Unstructured Data
Why Traditional Data Discovery Methods Fall Short
Traditional data discovery methods often struggle to effectively manage unstructured data. They cannot handle the volume, variety, and complexity of modern enterprise data.
How Enterprise Search Tackles the Unstructured Data Problem
Unlike traditional methods, enterprise search is designed to handle unstructured data. It uses sophisticated algorithms and artificial intelligence to understand and index data, turning a potentially overwhelming data landscape into a navigable and insightful resource.
Improving Decision-Making with Access to Relevant Data
When you have quick and easy access to relevant data, your decision-making process becomes much more efficient. Enterprise search eliminates the frustration of sifting through irrelevant information and presents you with the data you need exactly when you need it.
Making Enterprise File Search Easier and More Efficient
An efficient enterprise file search system should offer user-friendly features like natural language processing, advanced filtering options, and seamless integration with existing data sources. This ensures you can find exactly what you’re looking for in the least amount of time.
Enterprise Search and User Experience: Making Data Discovery Easier
A robust enterprise search system simplifies data discovery, providing a user-friendly interface that is easy for your team members to navigate. This reduces their learning times and encourages further adoption throughout your organization.
Case Study: Successful Integration of Enterprise File Search
Consider a leading financial firm that faced challenges managing its vast repository of unstructured data. After implementing an enterprise search solution, they reduced the time spent searching for information by 30%, leading to significant time savings and enhanced productivity.
Selecting the Right Enterprise Search Solution for Your Business
Factors to Consider When Choosing an Enterprise Search Provider
When choosing an enterprise search provider, look for one that offers robust features, scalability, and excellent customer support. The provider should be able to handle your data volume and provide a solution that’s tailored to your specific needs.
Evaluating Your Business Needs: Customizing Your Enterprise Search Solution

Indian rugs are a wonderful choice for decorating a home. If you are looking for contemporary and traditional rugs, they are both readily available. In addition to that, you can choose designs and motifs from various countries as well as styles like stripes, checkered style, braided style, animal print, desert, and folk art, floral prints, national flower prints, traditional patterns like Tibetan, Nairobi, Nigerian, Japanese, Chinese, and Malayan rugs. They also have a wide range of rugs that feature textured designs, crochet designs, dyed inks, animal prints, rugs with zebra and leopard prints.
Indian print rugs in India are made with materials like cotton, jute, sisal, bamboo, wool, silk, and synthetic fiber. They are generally handmade rugs that are hand knotted to make them feel soft on the feet. The design pattern is selected depending on the purpose and the theme of the carpet. Some of the rugs in India also use traditional motifs like the Om symbol for Buddhas, temple stones, and sandalwood.
There are several benefits of using drugs in India. Indian rugs are cheaper compared to the carpets imported from other countries. The rugs from India are usually handmade and most of them are hand knotted. However, most of them have machine made embellishments which are a bit expensive. You can also make your own rugs at home if you like.
Handmade rugs are more expensive than machine made rugs. Also, there is a possibility of getting inferior quality rugs if the workmanship is not perfect. But this is the main reason why people prefer to use Indian rugs. They are designed with great attention to detail. The designs are subtle enough to suit the ambience and the theme of any room in the house.
You can choose from an array of rugs in the market. They come from the North, South, East, West and Central parts of India. There are also Oriental rugs from China and the Middle East. These rugs are also available online from a variety of websites.
The price of the rugs will vary according to the design, size, shape, and material used. Of course, the price will also depend on the individual seller as well. Usually, rugs are sold in bunches and you can select them according to the size of your rooms. However, if you are buying the rugs for your business, then the carpeting should be of a uniform size.
Before selecting the rug for your home or office, you should know the reason behind the purchase. For instance, if you are looking for the best quality flooring for your home, then the Indian rugs will be the best option. These rugs are made of the best quality wool yarn. Wool has natural qualities and it also protects the flooring from scratches, tears, and stains. It is not a good idea to install the carpeting if it is made of wool because it will easily wear out and damage the flooring. Also, the wool will get matted and distorted.
On the other hand, the rugs made of cotton will also look good and elegant. In fact, these rugs have a very bright and lively appearance. On the other hand, the rugs made of nylon are lightweight and have a modern appearance. Another advantage of the rugs made of nylon is that they require little maintenance and the color does not fade easily. The designs of the rugs are numerous and there are numerous patterns to choose from, which makes the process of choosing the carpeting easier.
Cotton carpets are durable and they do not easily get damaged. This type of carpet is available in different shades. The durability of the rug depends on the fiber that is used in the manufacturing of the rug. These carpets are also available with interesting designs, which makes them very attractive. Cotton carpets are the best choice for rooms where there is considerable traffic of people.
Another category of rugs is the silk rugs. They have become popular in the last few years as they are easy to clean, look good and feel comfortable on the feet. Silk is known for its high thermal conductivity, which helps to insulate the room. However, there are certain disadvantages of using silk rugs. First, the carpets made of silk are difficult to maintain and they are not resistant to scratching, mildew, and fading.
If you are planning to renovate your home, then it is a good idea to get an Indian rug for the first step. Before you renovate the home, always get the opinion of an expert before buying carpets and rugs. You should also be aware of the fact that you should never compromise with the quality of Indian rugs and carpets. Even the cost is another factor that has to be kept into consideration. Make sure that you go through the Indian carpeting reviews before going for the purchase. | <urn:uuid:8a74ef7c-34dc-4dd9-a460-20a0c2ce322f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://shreesaiinternational.com/indian-carpets-for-decorating-your-home/ | 2023-10-04T21:11:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.968221 | 1,015 |
The Memory Project: Creating Portraits for a Kinder World
AP Art & Art 4 Hand Drawn Portraits for the Kids in Columbia
December 19, 2018
The Memory Project is a charitable organization that matches art students with less fortunate students in developing countries to create their portraits. Students were paired with 4-year-old pre-school students that have experienced war and extreme poverty from an area in the country of Columbia. After Stroudsburg High School student portraits were completed, they were sent to the Memory Project. Students of Ms. McKain’s AP Art and Art 4 came together to create these portraits.

The Provincial Health Agency of Agrigento in Italy plans to recover the medical services that were not provided during the pandemic by establishing a dedicated team. They are currently optimizing the procedures for managing waiting lists for specialist visits. This announcement came after inspections revealed possible irregularities in the waiting list management at hospitals in Agrigento and Sciacca. The investigation will extend to all health agencies and hospitals in Sicily, where there are record numbers of pending requests for outpatient visits and unanswered hospital reservations.

Solutions for Whole Body Access as Addressed in the Updated ANSI B11.19 Standard
Though whole body access is a relatively common term in the realm of machine safety, many don’t understand exactly what risk reduction measures are needed to keep workers safe. Because of this, it’s important to find solutions that help reduce risk in situations where an individual may have full physical access to a safeguarded machine and remain undetected. However, the latest edition of ANSI B11.19 is the first general industrial safety standard to address this concern directly.
Whole body access is defined by ANSI B11.19 as “a situation where an an individual(s) can be completely inside the risk reduction measures defining a perimeter or safeguarded space.” It is also sometimes referred to as full body access, perimeter safeguarding, perimeter-guarding, or pass-through.
With this recent update of the ANSI B11.19 Standard, we’d like to provide you an overview of how this new standard may affect your facility and what you can do to stay compliant. In this six part white paper series, each paper will highlight a different aspect of the newest edition of the standard. In this third white paper, we’ll discuss solutions for whole body access addressed in the latest ANSI B11.19 Standard.
This white paper series is meant for guidance only and is accurate as of the time of publication. When implementing any safety measures, we recommend consulting a safety professional. | <urn:uuid:96bb5e44-3541-4375-a6c2-218ed427ffc2> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sickusablog.com/inside-look-updated-ansi-b11-19-standard-part-3/ | 2023-10-04T21:03:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.926111 | 311 |
What Should I Do About My Flat Feet?
Are your arches flat as a pancake? You may have more company in that category than you think.
A 2012 survey from the Institute for Preventative Foot Health found that about 12 percent of American adults had either naturally flat feet or fallen arches. Other studies have produced much higher figures, even up 25 to 30 percent.
While we don’t know the exact figures, we know flat feet are indeed very common. We see them at our office all the time! And while flat or collapsed arches can often lead to chronic or repeated pain and injury, others seem to manage with them just fine.
As a result, there is a lot of confusion among the general population about whether their flat feet are a problem, and what they should do about them. While we can’t fully answer those questions for you in a single blog post—you’ll have to stop by and see us for an individual evaluation—we can help you put the situation in context and give you some advice on next steps.
The Importance of Healthy Arches
So before you even figure out what to do about your flat feet—or if, in fact, you need to do anything at all—you may be wondering why arches are such a big deal in the first place. What do they really do for you, anyway?
As it turns out, lots of things. Some of the key roles your arches play include the following:
- Shock absorption. When you stand, walk, or run, you land with a ton of force on a very small area in a very short amount of time. Arches, due to their shape and flexibility, allow those impact forces to be dispersed over both a larger area and, crucially, a longer period of time. Just like the shocks in your car, this greatly reduces the wear and tear on other parts of your foot (and body).
- Efficient propulsion. When the arch flexes to absorb the impact, those forces don’t simply “disappear,” or dissipate out into nothingness. Essentially, the energy gets “stored” by the arches, which then releases that energy in order to assist you with your next step as you pull your heel off the ground. In other words, part of the impact force gets converted by your arches into forward propulsion, which reduces the amount of energy you have to generate yourself—especially when running. Think of it like a pogo stick, except one that releases forward instead of right back up.
- Biomechanical alignment. People with flat arches tend to overpronate when they walk—in other words, their ankles roll too far inward under force loads. The thing is, alignment issues tend not to stay in the feet. In order to compensate, joints and muscles in the legs and even back need to shift position and endure greater stress than they otherwise would.
The end result of all this is that people with flat arches are more prone to a variety of common ailments, including heel pain (especially plantar fasciitis), shin splints, and other various overuse injuries.
What Should I Do About My Flat Feet?
It’s important to clarify that there are many different types of flat feet. Perhaps your arch is flat all the time (rigid) or only when bearing weight (flexible). Perhaps you were born with flat feet, and your arches simply never formed. Or maybe you used to have very normal arches, but they’ve flattened over time as you’ve gotten older.
At the same time, symptoms can vary tremendously from person to person. Some people experience a ton of pain from their flat feet. Others seem to get by with no problems at all.
With so much variation, you can probably see that there’s no one perfect solution to every case of flat feet. What you choose to do about them will depend on your age, your symptoms, the type of flatfoot you have, and the lifestyle you want to live.
But that probably isn’t very helpful advice for you, so let’s break it down a bit.
If you are (or are the caregiver for) a child or adolescent:
Most kids won’t develop a mature arch until around age 5 or so. If they are still very young and don’t show any signs of pain or difficulty with mobility, it’s probably fine to wait.
That said, keep a close eye on your little one, and follow up with us if you notice that the arches are still flat after age 5-6, or they show any signs of pain or abnormal gait patterns.
The exception we want to guard against here is rigid flatfoot conditions such as tarsal coalition. Although relatively rare, this is a much more serious form of flat arches and is best treated during or before the early teen years, before bones fully mature.
If you are an adult with flat feet:
The main discriminating factor here is pain.
If your feet feel good, you have no obvious symptoms, and you’re able to enjoy whatever physical activities you like without being held back by pain or discomfort in your feet, ankles, legs, or back, you probably don’t need any treatment for your flat feet.
However, if you do have symptoms in your feet or elsewhere, there is a good chance your flat feet are at least partially to blame, and you should make an appointment with us for further examination and treatment.
It’s important to note that, even if you aren’t experiencing symptoms right now, you may still be more susceptible to certain kinds of injuries. So make sure you are treating your feet right, wearing proper shoe gear, and following safe training and exercise protocols at all times!
Treating Flat Feet
The most common treatment we recommend for adults with low or flat arches is orthotics.
You can think of orthotics as sort of like glasses or braces, except for your feet. If your flat arches aren’t absorbing impact forces as well as they should or are pulling the rest of your body out of alignment, orthotics can make up the difference.
The optimal pair will not only cushion your steps, but also realign and even retrain your joints and muscles to function in a way that causes less pain and wear and tear. In short, they will get your arches back to working like the springs they should be.
And our office is one of the best around at getting you the orthotics you need. Dr. Melhuish specializes in foot and ankle biomechanics, and we even have an on-site orthotics lab to customize and adjust orthotics as needed so that they can fit you best.
While orthotics are typically the first choice for symptomatic flat feet, there are sometimes severe cases when a surgical flatfoot correction is ultimately necessary. This is more often the case for either flat feet that have developed over time, or for certain types of hereditary flat feet that are more severe.
However, you can rest assured that orthotics, in combination with other nonsurgical strategies such as taping, strapping, and changes in shoe gear, can solve the vast majority of flatfoot cases. That’s especially true when you have a biomechanics expert like Dr. Melhuish on your side!
If you think you have flat arches and experience foot, leg pain (knee, hip) or back pain that’s keeping you from fully enjoying your activities, give us a call. It’s very likely we’ll be able to help you get back to doing what you love!

Four quick stories to set the tone for my column this week:
First, at the beginning of a highly publicized college bowl game a few years ago, one of the television announcers commented on how driven one of the teams was to win the game. He said, “Great teams have a clear mission.”
Second, in his book, “The Best and The Brightest,” author David Halberstam recapped a conversation between General James Gavin, a highly decorated combat veteran, and then-Vice President Hubert Humphrey, in the Oval Office.
Just as the general was about to ask President Lyndon Johnson a question about Vietnam, the conversation was interrupted by a call the president had to take. The question, Gavin later recalled: “What is the mission of the troops we are sending to Vietnam?”
Third, in the Wall Street Journal, Peggy Noonan wrote in an early 2010 column that as the nation began a new decade, the country’s watchwords should be “repair, rebuild and return.”
Her comment was in response to those in the media who’d called the new century’s first ten years a lost decade, perhaps the worst in a century.
Noonan stated the previous ten years had been so hard because people “…forgot the mission…” From Wall Street to Main Street, from Congress to religious institutions, from public schools to colleges, she sensed a “diminished sense of mission or one that has disappeared or is disappearing.”
And fourth, the flooding and devastation from Hurricane Harvey will call into question the mission and the commitment of local, state and federal government, as much of the state of Texas and elsewhere begins to recover from the worst natural disaster in decades in our country.
A mission statement provides focus, direction and defines what an organization does and for whom.
In the final quarter of the year, companies often go through a process to evaluate the past and plan for the future. Part of that means reviewing the organization’s mission statement for relevance and validity.
While many companies have mission statements, they are often too long. People cannot remember the mission statement unless it is on paper in front of them. Most employees don’t believe in the mission, for two reasons: first, it isn’t their mission; it is the mission of those at the top. Second, the mission statement doesn’t relate to what they do all day at work.
Chip Conley founded Joie de Vivre Hospitality, a San Francisco based hotel and restaurant chain. In his book “Peak,” he wrote that, “With respect to connecting our employees with the company and its mission, we have found that the simpler and more succinct the mission, the more powerfully it engages our employees.”
In the best-selling “Built to Last,” authors Jim Collins and Jerry Porras did research proving that companies that focus on core values and a sense of purpose are more successful in the long term than those that are purely profit driven.
A mission statement should provide a sense of purpose for every employee and if it does not, something is not right: the mission is not simple, succinct or relevant enough to the employee.
For many employees, the only mission statement they know is the one that states: give me my paycheck on payday.
Who can blame them if their leaders have failed to enroll and engage them in any higher level of commitment?
Conley also wrote in “Peak” that there’s a qualitative difference between not being sick and feeling healthy or truly alive. This concept can and should also be applied to companies, most of which fall into the middle ground of not being sick but also are not truly alive.
If you want your company to come alive, starting today, create a short and resonating mission statement that has relevance for every employee.
My thoughts and prayers go out to those impacted by the flooding in Texas. For the record I worked and lived in Houston for three years, and met my wife there before we moved to Santa Clarita. We have many friends and former colleagues there. It’s a lot worse than the media is sharing.

Featured image: a big pile of sim racing gloves, new and old – all ours!
As well as a good pair of race or karting boots, sim racing gloves are (in my humble opinion) an absolute necessity over pretty much any other. In our updated 2023 buyer’s guide, we’re going to look at my favorites (all of which I own myself) and, I’ll take a look at what features of a sim racing glove are most important.
A good pair of gloves while driving the sim are an absolute must – you get a better level of grip and the racing feels more, serious. With the right sim racing gloves, you get excellent tactility on the steering wheel and lose absolutely nothing in terms of feel. You can use your shifters, rotaries, and buttons just as accurately and in some cases, more so. And with today’s selection, “touchscreen compatibility” is a given.
Critically, you can keep a suede / Alcantara rim in much better condition, for longer – I have wheels I’ve owned for years that still look brand new because I’ve never driven them with bare hands. The grease and sweat (gross, I know) can build up in the Alcantara and the end result looks pretty bad. It also ruins the resale value of the wheel.

- F33L Sim Racing Gloves
- Alpinestars F-Lite
- The Best: SimHound vs F33L
- How to Measure your hands for gloves
Can you use real FIA Racing gloves in the sim?
Here’s an old photo of me using a pair of Sparco RG-7 FIA-approved racing gloves (see here):
FIA racing gloves are overkill for sim racing; they’re probably 3 times too expensive and you get hot because of the lack of airflow. They’re fireproof which I dearly hope you’ll never need in the simulator. There’s simply no use case for proper racing gloves in the sim.
On that note here is a list of our top sim racing gloves – with the revised, externally stitched SimHound Gloves and the F33L SR2’s (below) being my two favorites.
F33L SR2 Sim Racing Gloves
If you’re looking for something ultra-lightweight, then F33L’s SR2 washable sim racing gloves are worthy of consideration. Here are mine:
I chose these gloves because of the bright, bold pattern and the fact that they’re on offer from Sim-Lab, who needs absolutely no introduction to a sim racer.
When you slide them on, the inner lining feels smooth on your hands. I’d class my hand size as “medium” but actually, the small size is the better fit for me. You always want to have a tightly fitting glove, or you’ll lose that all-important tactility.
The velcro strap is super strong, once you’ve got these on, they’re not going anywhere. As you can probably see from the photos, they’re co-branded by F33l and Sim-Lab, as I understand it Sim-Lab acquired this brand last year. High praise indeed.
The F33l gloves have a slender, ergonomic design that fits snugly. Obviously, they have touchscreen patches on the forefinger and thumb (as all sim racing gloves do now – this used to be a unique selling point!
I’d say most of the time, the smaller sizes will probably offer the best fit. Even while gripping the wheel you can see (pictured above) how the material stretches to my hand without offering significant resistance. With all that grip on the palms, there’s no question of their suitability for a sim steering wheel – they’re just, really, really good gloves.
If you’re buying F33l gloves, make sure you’re going for the best fit. There’s nothing worse than gloves that are too big! Measure the circumference of your hand. During the first use, the anodized rubber may take a few hours to adjust to your hand, but you can adjust the fingers for optimal comfort. Here’s the official glove sizing chart from F33l:
The F33l SR2s are available in sizes S to XXL, refer to the size chart to find your perfect fit. Sim-Lab also provides a 12-month warranty period, which for gloves is exceptional value. According to the label, they’re washable at a maximum temperature of 30c.
I owned the original SimHound Gloves which have since been significantly updated:
Simhound use an elasticated fabric construction that is snug fitting with a touchscreen-compatible forefinger and a nice grip pattern on the palms. This philosophy has reigned true with the latest iteration of their gloves, except they’ve switched to external stitching:
Something Simhound gets very right is in the construction. The gloves have the right amount of stretch in the outer fabric providing a nice sensation of support when you’re holding on to the wheel. The material doesn’t stretch quite as the F33l gloves do, but nonetheless, they’re grippy and very nice to work with:
The fabric is hard-wearing with a firm feeling to them and good breathability. Here they are being tested (at Sebring, in rFactor2, in the Radical)
You’ll notice a slight overstretch between my thumb and forefinger – Simhound has always fitted me like this. It’s not an issue in the slightest and these gloves are certainly a bit cheaper than the F33l gloves, so no issues for me at all.
There’s a variety of colour options on their website including these:
Cycling gloves are perfect for tactility and staying cool. The best gloves are very thin, like these Alpinestars, and usually come with touchscreen compatibility. Price wise they’re no different to sim racing gloves so if you’re a keen cyclist, maybe these are the better option as all-rounders?
If heat is an issue, try a lightweight glove like the popular Alpinestars F-Lite cycling gloves. These were most like my original Augury gloves – very light, very tactile, but likely to wear quickly in comparison to some of the other gloves we own.
Freem SIM21 racing gloves
Freem is a well-known high-end Motorsports manufacturer that has dipped its toes into the sim racing world. They’ve come up with the higher-end, higher-priced Freem Sim-glove, the SIM21. This is a photo from last year and, they’re still practically brand new:
Freem has manufactured sim racing gloves with input from the “world’s top sim racers” and have all of the features you’d hope for grip, screen compatibility, and so on. The only catch, aside from the price, is finding somewhere that has them in stock.
They’re very light, using an interesting and very stretchy fabric. A word of caution on these, though. Buy small, as they work best when snugly fitted.
As with all items from Freem, the SIM 21 gloves are made in Italy. Freem has revised the fabrics on the palm surface with what they call “L-Grip” which is intended to provide high levels of grip on the steering wheel and wheel controls.
I found these gloves to be extremely light and breathable and they fit very snugly, almost like a second skin. In total, they only weigh 32 grams! These are touchscreen compatible on the index finger and thumb. My only mild complaint with Freem’s design is that the fingers are slightly too long for my hands. So I suppose if you’re a skinny hands / long fingers type, these are for you.
Opinion: What are the best gloves for sim racing?
Well that’s the question, isn’t it? I’ve tried all of these gloves and more (my favourite Augury gloves became obsolete and wore out in the end). Personally I think it comes down to F33L vs SimHound.
It’s a difficult choice as they’re different in a few really critical ways. The SimHound gloves have a more supportive feel while the F33l gloves are softer and stretch more. Fit-wise, for me, the F33L gloves are a slightly better match to the shape of my hand, but I’d be equally happy to wear the SimHounds for the next year or so.
If I was pushed to make a choice, I think the F33L gloves are the best choice for sim racing.
They come at a slight premium, price-wise – especially if you live outside of the EU which adds a bit of extra delivery cost. But, with all that said, the difference between the two is so marginal that I think you’d be happy with either choice.
Need a hand? How to measure yourself for your next pair of sim racing gloves
Measuring your hands to fit your sim gloves is very easy. Just measure the circumference of your hand with a tape measure:
As you can see from the diagram above, measure the circumference of your hand following the path of the red line in the image. Then take that measurement and compare it to the manufacturer’s size guide.
Each size guide will be slightly different, so just because you’re an “M” for a set of gloves from Alpinestars doesn’t mean the same thing with Freem, SimHound, Sparco, and so on. I think the safer choice is always to go slightly smaller than you think you need, not larger. And always check the sizing guide on the product page!
Whatever you choose, gloves enhance your sense of enjoyment in the simulator. I recommend all drivers choose a pair of gloves and then get onto a good pair of boots, too. | <urn:uuid:cd392e47-138e-4421-9319-65561b0b96f7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://simracingcockpit.com/racing-gloves-in-the-sim/ | 2023-10-04T19:48:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.940732 | 2,177 |
BEIJING: China’s September exports beat expectations, rising 5.7% y/y. Meanwhile, imports fell short of expectations, he rose 0.3%, customs data showed on Monday.
Analysts polled by Reuters had expected export growth to slow to 4.1% from 7.1% in August.
Imports were forecast to rise 1.0% after rising just 0.3% in August as domestic demand remained weak.
China posted a trade surplus of $84.74 billion in September, while polls predicted a surplus of $81 billion and a surplus of $79.39 billion in August.

She is a two-time winner of the Rustbelt Poetry Slam and has performed her work in schools, conferences, theaters, and bars across the country. She has taught students of all ages and levels of experience, including at the University of Michigan as a Graduate Student Instructor and through organizations like Project VOICE and InsideOut Literary Arts Project. A Kundiman Fellow and graduate of the VONA Workshop, she founded the Brew & Forge Book Fair, a fundraising project that brings together readers and writers to build capacity in social justice community organizations.
I interviewed Franny to discuss the different communities to which she belongs as well as how she is transforming the literary landscape.
Please discuss your involvement in the Brew & Forge Book Fair project. How did you get involved in this project? How has it changed over time?
The Brew & Forge Book Fair began as one of those rapid-response projects that cropped up in the wake of the 2016 presidential election. I was in my first semester in my MFA program and feeling disconnected to the organizing communities I’d been a part of. Organizing has been for me, at times, a very effective balm against feelings of despair and powerlessness (though it also has its fair share of both!). So, without that work to run to, I wondered what writers could do, on a small and immediate level, to leverage our power to shift as many resources as possible, as quickly as possible, to the groups that were already fighting on the ground level. I wanted, too, to make a project whose structure would replicate the kind of world I believed in creating; one that required interdependence and collective decision-making, whose funding structure was as participatory as possible. So the idea is that people buy signed copies of books directly from the authors, and the proceeds go to a great, locally-focused community organization. That organization is chosen by a vote by the participating authors, from a slate of five groups that are using effective, direct action-based organizing.
The scale of the project has stayed pretty small; we’ve made four small grants of $2000-$2500 to organizations like Assata’s Daughters in Chicago and OLTT (which organizes trans Latinx communities) in Texas. It’s now run by a steering committee, but otherwise, I’d like for it to stay small. We have a tendency to think of a successful project as one that’s able to expand rapidly; in this case, I’d rather make something that’s sustainable and replicable.
What other literary projects or groups are you currently involved with?
The main thing on my mind these days is the after school poetry club I lead at the Detroit School of Arts, through the CityWide Poets program at Inside Out Literary Arts here in Detroit. I love teaching, and it’s always fascinating to see what does or doesn’t click with my students.
There’s also VS, the podcast I host with poet and ever-boo Danez Smith, which is a very fun project, but also one that feels important to me in terms of trying to shape the literary world we believe in. Our tagline is “where poets confront the ideas that move them,” and for us that means trying to build a big reminder–to listeners, to institutions like the Poetry Foundation, to the literary world at large–that poetry is driven by the urgencies of the world in which it lives. We also want the show to be one that brings a wide range of voices to the table–emerging and youth poets as well as very established folks. It’s been important for us to approach writers who have taken different pathways through poetry as being experts in their particular craft. And lastly, I’m proud of the way the podcast operates as a free educational tool, especially for writers who don’t currently have access to spaces to think deeply about poetry and craft.
My collective, Dark Noise, is currently working on ways leverage what we’ve built over our five years of writing together to build support systems for emerging writers of color. That project is still in development, so I can’t say much about it right now, but we’re currently in conversations with Kundiman, Cave Canem, and CantoMundo about how to support their work. Other than that, I’ve got my hands in a few other projects: curating a series of video poems by queer APIA poets through the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center; editing for Hyphen Magazine; starting to write a monthly column about menstruation and queerness for an online journal; lots of stuff!
What communities do you currently belong to? Do you write with these communities in mind?
When we interviewed Eve Ewing for the VS podcast, she defined community as the people to whom you feel accountable, and who are (at least in some part) accountable to you. That relationship with accountability changes with every poem. Sometimes, a poem feels most reciprocally accountable to young, Asian American women, other times, to queer people of color, to Koreans, to my friends, to poets writing about cyborgs and machine learning, to people who have seen a particular movie, to that one person in my MFA program. When I write, I think sometimes about who might listen, about who of my loved ones might be in most dynamic relationship with the particular poem. But I don’t usually set out writing a poem for a particular community, and certainly not as an attempt to represent anyone but myself.
As a writer, why is literary citizenship important?
It’s hard for me to think about literary citizenship without thinking about how fraught the concept of citizenship, specifically when thinking about the nation state. It makes me think that the way we understand the personal responsibility of writers is necessarily tied up in a model that defines personhood by legible, legal status according to appropriate ways of entering the state. I think there are lots of reasons that it’s good for poets to be involved in many parts of the ecosystem of poetry (teaching, running journals, organizing readings, judging contests, etc.). But I also feel like it’s worth asking what systems of exclusion or control we might be replicating by talking about “citizenship.” What do we get out of that approved belonging?
I want to be a thoughtful, conscious participant in poetry, one who’s trying to strengthen the more just world that is possible, both within and outside of the boundaries of the literary world. This comes out of a sense of responsibility to the people I love, to the poets and spaces that have nourished me. If that’s what literary citizenship means, then great! But I feel, sometimes, that we reward any kind of participation in the machine of poetry–even the kinds that protect power where it sits–with the title of “literary citizenship,” and I feel suspicious of that.
What qualities / traits does a good literary citizen exhibit?
To think further on this, maybe a “good” literary citizen is a lot like a “good” subject of the state. A poet who pays to attend an MFA program, who edits a small online journal, who organizes a reading by mostly-white MFA graduates, who reads the slush pile for a book contest–this all counts as literary citizenship, and it can all work to keep the status quo exactly where it is. That said, it’s not necessarily (though perhaps sometimes) helping anyone to be a “bad” literary citizen, either, any more than it’s necessarily righteous to simply be an unruly subject. Maybe I envision a kind of belonging to the literary world that’s in a dynamic tension bent toward justice–that pushes and pulls and is pushed toward making something better.
You currently live in Hamtramck; do you have a literary community there or in Detroit?
It’s a strange thing, to know you’ll live somewhere for only a short period of time–and particularly fraught in a city like Detroit. That said, I feel deep love and gratitude for the writers I’ve been able to build with here, many of them through spaces like Inside Out. There are folks here that became a home for me since I moved to Michigan almost three years ago. More than anything, I feel lucky to be a student of Detroit’s literary history and culture.
Who inspires you?
Teachers and teaching artists inspire me–the ones who really love and care about their students’ work, who value mentorship, who are thinking carefully and critically about how to make their classrooms into nourishing and just spaces. I feel inspired, too, by anyone who reads overwhelming amounts of poetry (whether for prizes or publication or admissions) and can still approach poems with love and excitement. I feel inspired by people like Fatimah Asghar and Hanif Abdurraqib, who publish beautifully and ambitiously in multiple genres, and who approach every outward-facing part of their creative lives as ways to build community. And I feel inspired with the presence and care with which Aracelis Girmay writes emails!

I’m in the middle of Natalie Eilbert’s Indictus (it’s wild and so so so good) and The Obelisk Gate, the second book in N.K. Jemisin’s The Broken Earth trilogy. Which means all my sentences are weird, and all my metaphors are geological. Next up is a Jean Valentine new and selected, Sharon Olds’ Odes, Esmé Weijun Wang’s essay collection The Collected Schizophrenias, and Sesshu Foster’s City of the Future, in who knows what order.
I’m moving to Western Massachusetts to be with my partner and to teach, and I’m looking forward to learning and building with folks there. I’m excited about some pieces we’ve got in the pipeline at Hyphen, and I’m looking forward to learning more about journalism and publishing through that work. My writing these days is gravitating toward lyric essay and prose poems, though I also keep revolting against that impulse. We’re working on doing a live Brew & Forge at AWP, and I think that’ll be a fun test for a new way that project might live in the world. And my book is out in a few months! Which means I’ll be not only celebrating with my folks in Detroit, but going on the road and talking to people about it constantly for a while–taking what’s been in my head for the past few years and helping to usher it into the world, hopefully mindfully; hopefully, with care.
Franny Choi’s next poetry collection, Soft Science, will be out from Alice James books in April, 2019. | <urn:uuid:0265c9a5-4612-4eed-beac-60c1d67362a7> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://sites.lsa.umich.edu/mqr/2019/03/with-care-an-interview-with-franny-choi/ | 2023-10-04T21:31:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.965151 | 2,484 |
When can we stop using cash?
by Kai Ryssdal & Maria Hollenhorst
Here’s a question: How much cash is in your wallet right now? If you answered not a whole lot, that’s not very surprising. It’s getting ever easier to operate in this economy without carrying cash. You tip your Lyft driver on your phone, you pay your dinner bill with a credit card and you Venmo your friends to split the check. Consider then, the future of cash. Bhaskar Charkravorti, the senior associate dean of international business and finance at The Fletcher School at Tufts, has done a number of studies on the subject, including the “Cost of Cash.” Marketplace host Kai Ryssdal spoke to him about the future of bills and coins in this changing world. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation.

Skipjack Sunday ~ Limited Edition, fine art collectible prints of the Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks
Chesapeake Bay art and Skipjack fine art in particular, in the form of the photograph, is the focus of these pages. This �Skipjack Sunday� photograph and art description is included to assist web search engines, thus it may read a bit peculiar to the casual reader. It helps to describe all the ways people may search for Skipjack images i.e., Skipjack pictures, oyster boat, Chesapeake Bay Skipjack pictures, Chesapeake Skipjack pictures, Skipjacks of the Chesapeake, Chesapeake Bay Skipjack sailboats, Skipjack sailboats, working sailboats, Chesapeake Bay workboats even, Skipjack boat. In fact Skipjack (boat) is Wikipedia's description and others have described her as a Skipjack type of boat.
Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks are dwindling
rapidly from thousands to a handful. A working Skipjack on the
Chesapeake dredging for oysters is indeed a rare site these days. The Chesapeake Bay Skipjack Fleet has been
recognized as a national treasure in danger of extinction. On June 6,
2002, the Fleet was named to the list of America's
Eleven Most Endangered Historic Places by the National
Trust for Historic Preservation.
While Skipjack art and paintings are readily available, previously uncirculated, fine art, collectible Skipjack photographs of archival quality are quite limited. Bill Peterson has restored, and printed for the first time, Skipjack images he made in the late 1960�s of a Deal Island Skipjack race. These graceful Skipjacks are the last fleet of workboats under sail in the United States and abounded in both Maryland and Virginia waters at the turn of the last century. From the thousands of yesterday to the dozen or so today, the Chesapeake Bay Skipjacks are the last of their kind and worthy of all efforts toward preservation. Bill has captured the spirit of the Chesapeake watermen in these images, from the deck of the Rosie Parks to the dock at Deal Island, this weekend jaunt from long ago now presents a glimpse of a time he calls a �Skipjack Sunday. | <urn:uuid:1d3bdef0-b105-4a59-91d0-88a5aa31a198> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://skipjacksunday.com/ | 2023-10-04T20:48:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.926835 | 481 |

Utilizing our WOVEN curriculum, this course will explore the intersections of race and the environment as urgent social, political, and ecological issues through the lens of poetry. By reading across a global lineage of poets, including writers and artists from Pakistan, India, Chile, Korea, Panama, Cuba, and the across the United States, students will learn about the historical and contemporary intersections of race and environmental issues in order to create multimodal artifacts that engage with what we will refer to as a “poetics of sustainability.” One of the course’s primary questions will be: How do these writers and artists allow us to articulate a more equitable future for communities facing challenges related to racial injustice, inequity, environmental crises, and environmental racism? Additionally, where and how do issues of race and the environment overlap as we consider rhetorical strategies for articulating our questions, ideas, and solutions related to identity, nationality, nature, and culture? Course readings will include books or selections from poets, writers, and artists such Divya Victor, Bhanu Kapil, Jericho Brown, Raúl Zurita, Claudia Rankine, Amiri Baraka, Lorenzo Thomas, Brandon Shimoda, Myung Mi Kim, Fred Moten, Theresa Hak Cha, Ana Mendieta, LaTasha N.

CL Wealth Management, LLC
CL Wealth Management, LLC is a New York City-based financial advisor firm. The firm is relatively small given the sizeable financial advisors it has on staff. When it comes to clients, the firm primarily works with non-high-net-worth individuals, though it has a few institutional clients as well. Services offered at this firm include portfolio management and financial planning.
As a fee-based firm, certain advisors working at CL Wealth can receive commissions in addition to the fees clients pay. This differs from a fee-only firm, which avoids all third-party compensation in favor of client-paid fees.
CL Wealth Management Background
CL Wealth Management is a relatively young firm, as it opened in 2005 under its original name, CBS Advisors, LLC. In 2013, the firm changed its name to CL Wealth Management, as it reamins to this day. The firm is affiliated with Cabot Lodge Securities, LLC, a broker-dealer, and most advisors at CL are registered with Cabot Lodge Securities. Both CL Wealth Management and Cabot Lodge Securities are owned by PKS Holdings, LLC.
CL Wealth Management Client Types and Minimum Account Sizes
The vast majority of CL Wealth Management's client base is comprised of non-high-net-worth individuals, though it also works with a handful of high-net-worth individuals. When it comes to institutional clients, the firm maintains advisory relationships with pension and profit-sharing plans.
This firm imposes a $25,000 minimum account size for new clients. If the firm chooses to invest your assets using third-party money managers, they may impose different account minimums, though.
Services Offered by CL Wealth Management
CL Wealth Management works with clients to provide both investment management and financial planning services. The firm manages client assets on both a discretionary and non-discretionary basis, seeking to tailor its investment strategies to the goals of each client. The firm may also use third-party money managers when allocating client assets.
The firm's financial planning services also include financial consulting and, to a certain extent, educational workshops. When it comes to financial planning, the firm and its advisors may give advice on a range of topics. Some examples include retirement planning, estate planning, insurance planning, cash flow analysis, budgeting and more.
CL Wealth Management Investment Philosophy
As noted above, CL Weath Management adjusts its investment strategies to the particular needs and objectives of each individual client. Advisors works with clients to determine their risk tolerance, time horizon, financial goals, liquidity needs and investment preferences before making any decisions. Using this information, advisors will develop a custom investment plan that suits you.
Advisors at CL Wealth may invest in stocks, bonds and a wide range of other securities. They also use several methods of analysis to inform their investment decisions, such as charting analysis, technical analysis, fundamental analysis and cyclical analysis.

|CL Wealth Management Fee Schedule|
|Portfolio Value||Annual Fee|

|$100,000 - $250,000||2.00%|

|Your Assets||CL Wealth Management Fee Amount|
Financial planning fees at CL Wealth are charged on either an hourly or flat fee basis. The typical hourly fee is $350, and flat fees typically won't exceed $3,000.
What to Watch Out For
Most of the advisors working at fee-based CL Wealth Management are also registered as broker-dealer representatives and insurance agents. Since these advisors can earn commissions from selling products to clients, there is a potential conflict of interest at play. However, despite this arrangement, the firm is still a fiduciary, which means it's legally obligated to act in the best interests of clients.
Opening an Account With CL Wealth Management
Those interested in opening an account with CL Wealth Management should go to the firm's website and submit a contact form. If you prefer dealing over the phone, you can also give the firm a call.

Saucy Asian Meatballs Recipe
Asian cuisine dishes are prepared with fresh and healthy ingredients. The meals of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Indian cuisine mainly consist of vegetables and fish, which makes the meals extraordinarily light and pleasant for the stomach. Rice is undoubtedly the most famous food in Asian cuisine, but not the only one. Nutritionists recommend including noodles, green tea, coconut milk, fish, and soy sauce in our diet. People of Asia do not look at food as calories but as foods full of valuable nutrients. They try not to have dinner late and have a lovely tradition of eating with family or in the company.
Superbowl parties are synonymous with finger foods. Keep the tradition alive with these easy-to-eat, one-bite Saucy Asian Meatballs.
- 2 lbs. ground pork or ground beef
- 2 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 cup Panko or breadcrumbs
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 2 eggs
- 3 tsp. minced garlic
- 1/2 cup thinly-sliced green onions
- optional garnish: toasted sesame seeds, sliced scallions
Asian Sauce Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup hoisin sauce
- 1/4 cup rice vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp. soy sauce
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
- 1 tsp. ground ginger
(Tips: add about 1/4 C Kikkoman Teriyaki glaze and about 1/4 C brown sugar to the sauce to help produce a more sweet taste- many have complained that the hoisin sauce & sesame oil overpowers the sauce and is too strong otherwise. Also, go easy on the hoisin sauce and sesame oil if you desire a less intense taste)
Preheat the oven to 400.
In a large bowl, mix meatball ingredients until well-combined. Shape into balls (I made mine about 1.5 inches, which yielded about 35 meatballs, but 1 inch is probably standard), and place on a greased baking sheet or in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until meatballs are golden and no longer pink on the inside. (TIP: DON'T OVERBAKE! They will dry out! At 400 degrees, they will brown quickly on the middle rack.)
While the meatballs are baking, whisk together the sauce ingredients until blended. Once meatballs have finished cooking, you can dip each meatball individually (using a toothpick) in the sauce mixture. Or you can pour the sauce over the meatballs and gently stir them until covered.
Place a Bamboo Mini Cocktail Fork in each meatball for easy eating. Best served warm on a White Rectangular Wave Tray or serve individual servings on White Plastic Saucers and sprinkle with additional garnish if desired.

Why Asian Cuisine?
Whether you are a "fan" of exotic and different dishes and drinks or not, one thing is sure - at least one meal or at least one food item from Asian cuisine will satisfy you entirely, and you love to consume it.
Asian cuisine is full of very healthy dishes. It contains a lot of vegetables and fish, which is undoubtedly the most significant advantage, and besides, such food is incredibly light. "Asian cuisine" refers to Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and some Indian food. The common denominator of all those countries and cuisines is rice, but along with it, you need to know some other excellent foods.
What Is the Best Thing to Eat From Asian Cuisine, and What Is the Healthiest Thing on Their Grocery List?
Noodles - it doesn't matter if they are glass, rice, or maybe Shirataki noodles made from konjac flour. The only important thing is that this pasta is exceptionally light, with a slightly lower proportion of carbohydrates than wheat pasta. It is ready very quickly and is suitable for processing in a wok or pan.
Coconut Milk: Coconut milk is a very common food in the Far East. Coconut milk gives fullness and a creamy texture to spicy soups and curry dishes.
Fish Sauce - fish sauces have a unique salty taste and a strong fishy smell that slowly disappears when cooked, leaving a full flavor in the dish.
Soy Sauce - is rich in amino acids, therefore, a good source of proteins. In addition, it also contains microorganisms that we need for natural fermentation in the intestines, which facilitates food digestion.
We decided to put a lot of good Asian cuisine on the shelves of the Healthy Food Factory. So check out what we have here.
Apart from the fact that some foods should be "stolen" from the Asian diet, it would also be good to become aware of food. Asians, and especially Chinese, never eat from their feet and never eat late at night. Their main meal is dinner around 18:00, which they rarely eat alone because it is a tradition to dine together. Green tea is consumed throughout the day (in average amounts). They have an excellent attitude towards nutrition and calorie intake - food is a carrier of valuable nutrients, not unwanted calories.
Rice with Vegetables and Meatballs
Rice with vegetables and meatballs in garlic sauce is a part of Asian cuisine. It is quick to prepare and very tasty.
I stew the vegetables in 1 tablespoon of butter, just enough to soften and not overcook!
I don't add salt, but add soy sauce! So, simmer for about 10 minutes!
I season 1 kg of minced mixed meat with vegetables and pepper. Then, I add a spoonful of flour, one egg, and 2 -heads of onion.
You have to knead the mixture like you are kneading bread. Otherwise, it will fall apart!
Make balls from the mixture and fry in hot oil until golden brown.
Fry a piece of garlic in oil (don't let the onion darken)
Add 1- tablespoon of flour and fry for a few more seconds.
Add about 2dl of milk. If the sauce is thick, you can add more milk.
Put a small teaspoon of salt and parsley; if someone likes, you can add a few drops of vinegar.

Flamingo Plaza at 1051-1055 Meridian Avenue in the Flamingo Park area, was a classic Art Deco Hotel. Designed by L. Murray Dixon in 1937, this 38 room structure has a symmetrical and a triple facade in the A-B-A form, with both vertical and horizontal design features. You can find all the defining characteristics of the 1930’s era building here: eyebrows, glass blocks, colored keystone, neon lighting, terrazzo floors and exterior bas-relief displaying pastel colored flamingos and palm trees.
Today in opposite sides of the lobby there are still two original murals by Miami muralist, Earl LaPan. These were his most famous murals of a scene of pink flamingos frolicking in a colorful landscape. They both had been featured in several art books, including Tropical Deco. LaPan was specially noted for his popular murals in many Art Deco Hotels such as the Essex House and Victor Hotels.

A unique photo is both as much and as little as 80-90% of success on Instagram. Instagram is a platform for typical visual people. But what can you do to increase engagement under your posts and encourage your potential audience to interact under your posts on Instagram?
Check below and publish your posts more effectively. Learn the formula for the perfect description under a photo on Instagram!
Photos published on Instagram should feature longer descriptions to encourage users to comment. The description under the photo should contain at least a few sentences. While preparing the description, try to tell something about your day, ideas, plans or interests. Recommend a product to your audience, try to ask a short question… Try to prepare a photo description so that the user can learn something about the person who runs the profile, the published photo or the situation presented in the photo.
Remember that the purpose of the description is to encourage viewers to comment on your photos!
Multilingual post descriptions on Instagram
When preparing a description for a photo on Instagtam, use the languages you know! Prepare a description in your native language and the one you know additionally – it can be English, German, French, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, etc. If foreign language is a problem, use a translator.
We recommend running your Instagram profile and publishing posts in a bilingual way, so that each post contains a description in your native language (at the top) and a translation e.g. into another language you know (under the native version).
Two language versions will allow you to reach a larger audience. They will also attract the attention of your audience.
Does the length of the description matter?
The description on Instagram can be 2200 characters long – check more information about Instagram’s restrictions and limits.
We recommend not preparing posts that are too long – most internet users will not have the desire and time to read long descriptions. You can deviate from this rule if your recipients like stories and are used to them, and you run your Instagram as a blog.
The description should be of moderate length, so that it does not scare away potential viewers.

Can I use a custom font on Instagram?
Yes, you can, but ask yourself if it makes sense… The description should be readable. If you want to use a custom font, prepare the description in a document that allows you to change the font Notepad, Word) and copy the description into the Instagram app when you publish the photo. | <urn:uuid:9a3b94f0-e56c-4e1c-9a38-24af6b676111> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://socialbreez.com/blog/how-to-prepare-a-description-for-a-photo-on-instagram/ | 2023-10-04T21:05:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.883496 | 785 |

Heval Agir, a US volunteer who joined Syrian Kurdish fighters to combat the Islamic State (ISIS), was killed in the operation to take the city of Manbij from ISIS militants.
The fighter, nicknamed Heval Agir, was a former marine in his mid-20s when he joined Kurdish forces of the People’s Protection Units (YPG) in northern Syria.
The US volunteer had appeared in an earlier video using a quote from the movie Starship Troopers.
“Let me tell you something. I’m from the United States of America and I say kill ’em all!” Heval Agir said on camera.
Hundreds of foreign fighters have joined the YPG and Kurdish Peshmerga forces to fight the ISIS.
The Kurds are very appreciative of the foreign fighters that leave their home countries to fight against the extremist group.
In June, the Kurdish administration of Rojava [Syrian Kurdish region] created a monument for foreign fighters fallen in the battle against ISIS in the city of Qamishli.
“ISIS jihadis said that the foreigners are unbelievers, but today we can see the people who go to the paradise, they are foreigners because they assisted humanity,” said Bave Shehid Mazlum (51), the father of a killed YPG fighter.

Rory McIlroy out clutches Bob MacIntyre with ‘best shot I hit all year’ to win Scottish
Robert MacIntyre thought he’d done it. His ball sitting in the rough some 212 yards out and the winds whipping fiercely at the Renaissance Club’s par-4 finishing hole, the lefthanded Scot took a mighty swipe with fairway wood and hit arguably the shot of his life. The one they call Big Shot Bob stuck his approach to a few feet, rolled in the birdie and suddenly was the clubhouse leader at his home open, the Scottish.
Cheers could be heard from the seaside town of Oban, where MacIntyre is from, some 150 miles to the west. They were much louder around No. 18 green on Sunday afternoon in North Berwick. And as MacIntyre walked to scoring, his emotions poured out.
“I’ll never forget it,” MacIntyre said. “I had to take a minute coming off 18. I mean, that’s why I play this sport. That’s why I’m in the Scottish Open, and if not The Open, the Scottish Open will be up there with the event I want to play for the rest of my life. It’s one I’ve dreamed of winning since I watched at home, and I thought today coming down once I birdied 18, I thought, this might be the one.”
Of course, it wasn’t.
Two holes behind, Rory McIlroy was preparing to spoil the party. He succeeded, outdoing Bob’s big shot with two clutch birdies of his own.
First, there was the 191-yard tee shot that McIlroy darted with 5-iron inside 5 feet at the par-3 17th hole. When he sank the shortie, McIlroy was tied with MacIntyre at 14 under. MacIntyre had to wipe his tears; a playoff seemed imminent.
But then McIlroy ended those hopes, too. After finding the left edge of the fairway at No. 18, McIlroy had 201 yards to the flag. With the wind pumping into him, he flighted a 2-iron low and then crouched down to watch his ball run up to the hole before settling 10 feet behind it. According to stats guru Justin Ray, McIlroy gained 1.85 strokes on the field with his last two approach shots, which accounted for 95% of his strokes-gained-approach total in the final round.
“It came off absolutely perfectly,” McIlroy said. “Probably the best shot I hit all year. It was exactly the way I wanted to play it. When you hit a shot like that, I felt like I deserved to hole that putt to finish it off.”
After McIlroy drained the title-winning putt to cap a closing 2-under 68 and 15-under winning total, he leaned his head back, his smile a mile wide, and stared into the sky.
McIlroy entered this week with six straight top-10s since a disastrous missed cut at the Masters, but this was his first win since Dubai, just four weeks into the new year. And it came at the perfect time, too, as McIlroy now eyes a successful title defense this coming week at Royal Liverpool.
“It’s been a sort of long six months I feel since I won in Dubai,” McIlroy said. “I’ve given myself tons of chances, and hopefully this win sort of breaks the seal for me, especially going into next week.”
Full-field scores from Genesis Scottish Open
MacIntyre, meanwhile, doesn’t leave Scotland empty-handed. The former top-50 player had dropped outside the top 100 in the world rankings before a T-4 finish in Denmark last week. A second straight near-miss has his confidence humming once again.
He just isn’t departing with the trophy.
Sunday’s final roars? Those were for Rors.
“Last week, I felt like I had two hands on the trophy and I let it go,” MacIntyre explained. “This week, I was nowhere near it. I wasn’t even within touching distance of the trophy and went out there and put in a performance.
“And yeah, just Rory McIlroy’s potentially the best in the world, and he showed why today.” | <urn:uuid:f30c6be4-fddf-4d27-a908-3b80bc3bc0ae> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://solsporthq.com/rory-mcilroy-out-clutches-bob-macintyre-with-best-shot-i-hit-all-year-to-win-scottish/ | 2023-10-04T19:01:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.982041 | 959 |
Somalilandsun: Somaliland is among Horn of Africa countries where over 20m people are faced with starvation.
According the World Food Programme More than 20 million people in the Horn of Africa are at risk of starvation owing to worsening drought across several countries.
Of this six million of the affected people are in Somaliland and Somalia with another half a million in Kenya. Conflict in Ethiopia and Eritrea is also contributing to the unfolding humanitarian disaster.
WFP reports that a lack of expected and much-needed rain could lead to famine in the Horn of Africa – a region of eastern Africa – which is already suffering from drought and has been for several months.
The drought has led to the destruction of crops and the death of livestock. A month into the new rainy reason, the persistent lack of rain is worsening the situation.
The WFP has increased its estimate of the numbers at risk of starvation from 14 million to 20 million.
This includes six million people in Somalia (including the self-declared Republic of Somaliland) and half a million in Kenya. Conflict in Ethiopia and Eritrea is also contributing to the unfolding humanitarian disaster.
The situation has been exacerbated by the war in Ukraine, which has limited supplies of food and fertilisers across the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
The Horn of Africa – incorporating Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia, along with Kenya and several other bordering countries – has a population estimated at more than 290 million.
In November 2021 it was already estimated that a billion people worldwide, including 239 million across Africa, were at risk of malnutrition. | <urn:uuid:e9e108bf-0f9b-4c55-9fdd-fbd70a7d2384> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://somalilandsun.com/somaliland-among-horn-of-africa-countries-faced-with-famine/ | 2023-10-04T20:38:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233511406.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20231004184208-20231004214208-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.965979 | 329 |
Individuals who live with the gnawing pain of trauma, especially traumas born out of ruptures and betrayals in relationships over their lifetime, often struggle with self-regulation in their life. Daily living dishes out immense challenges when we are hit with an array of intense emotions, numbing, or swarming thoughts.
We continue to repeat these reactive patterns long after the threats are gone, even if the environment we are in are no longer the unsafe ones we were before.
In When the Body says No, Dr Gabor Mate also illustrates and explains the link between long-term experiences of trauma and chronic illnesses, such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes, based on his decades of research and work as a physician. It aligns to the well-established Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES) study which informs a relationship between the amount of toxic stress we experience in our lives with the challenges in health and mental health we experience.
Healing from trauma thus involves helping your mind-body let go of those fixed patterns of cognitive and bodily responses that are no longer adaptive or helpful for your daily functioning.
This means unlearning and relearning of the strategies that our body had taken to help us adapt and survive in previous experiences and/or relationships — strategies that once helped us feel safe in an unsafe environment, but are disrupting our lives today.
Healing is in the here and now
This process can involve a lot of looking and listening — looking and listening to our own bodily reactions to triggers and the projection of our bodily reactions to others through self-awareness.
It can also start from simply sprouting body awareness through questions that bring us back to ourselves. These questions could look like:
how is my body being at this moment — tensed, sluggish, relaxed?
Which parts of my body might be calling for my attention?
Is there another way to let my body be — soft, expansive, light?
This awareness continues to branch into subtler body sensations, and one gateway to enter this experience is through our breath. Even as you are reading this, perhaps become aware that you are in this moment, taking a breath in and releasing a breath out.
What do you notice about your breath?
Is it shallow and jagged? Do your chest heave when you breathe?
Count to 5 when you breathe in, and 5 when you breathe out. Do it for 4, 5, even 6 times. What do you notice about your breath after?
How does your body feel when you breathe slower and with more consciousness?
The core of our self-awareness rests on the physical sensations that convey our body’s inner states. When we have a keen attunement into our internal felt sensations, such as hunger, arousal, body temperature, physiological changes and emotions, the potential to feel in control of our lives swells.
We feel in charge of our body, our feelings and our ‘self’.
Regaining power over your life through the healing process
In the process of unlearning, we find opportunities to evaluate the usefulness of these strategies in the present day. If they are no longer useful, then one possibility could be relearning strategies to help us find cues of safety in our physical and social environment, and within ourselves.
This opens up spaces for our mind-body to choose where we want to go next. It could be a decision about how we want to treat our body: allow rest, nourish with comforting food, get moving or exercising. This might also be a decision about how we want to be treated in our relationships: draw necessary boundaries, declare “no” without lingering guilt to please others, or simply voice out our disagreement.
More importantly, we are here and now acknowledging what our body has done for us, for ourselves before others.
Our body is our sole companion in this journey called life. Any internal acknowledgement is a form of standing our ground, making a proud declaration: “I matter, too.”
This is originally published HERE, as part of a series on trauma written in collaboration with the white book. In this series, we unpack what trauma is and where it lies for each of us, as well as how we can start to move away from existing traumas through self-awareness and coregulation.
