CRIMSON TIDE GOES DOWN...CORNHUSKERS FRY ALONE.
Alabama Poised to Change Death Penalty Method
Tue Apr 23, 5:25 PM ET
MONTGOMERY, Ala. (Reuters) - Alabama Gov. Don Siegelman plans to sign a bill changing the state's primary method of execution to lethal injection, a spokeswoman said on Tuesday. The move would leave Nebraska as the only state still relying on the electric chair.
The Alabama legislature passed a bill last week that calls for lethal injection to be used in all executions after July 1, unless a condemned inmate specifically requests to die in the chair.
Siegelman, a Democrat who supports the death penalty, favored the switch to lethal injection, partly out of concerns that U.S. courts could eventually rule that the use of the electric chair was unconstitutional.
In October, 2001, the Georgia Supreme Court ruled that the electric chair inflicted needless physical pain on inmates and ordered Georgia authorities to switch to lethal injection for future executions.
Georgia has executed six inmates since adopting lethal injection. Alabama's next execution is scheduled for May 10, when Lynda Lyon Block is due to die in the electric chair for the 1993 murder of a police officer. Block would be the first woman executed in Alabama since 1957. | <urn:uuid:49d1c2ad-e5fd-4873-834e-a3c50a72ca8c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://deadmaneating.blogspot.com/2002/04/crimson-tide-goes-down.html | 2024-04-18T14:43:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.931805 | 265 |
Yassin received a total of four Grammy Award nominations at the same time that he was detained and accused of involvement in planning a high-profile kidnapping operation last year.
Yassen Nominated for four Grammys this year: Album of the Year, Hip-Hop Music of the Year, Songwriter of the Year and Artist of the Year, in all categories for the albums “98.01.11” and “More in Life”.
Yassin Benn, whose real name is Yassin Abdullah Mahmoud, is a 23-year-old rapper from Rinkeby who within two years became one of the biggest stars of Swedish hip-hop. He has hundreds of thousands of streams every day and nearly a million listeners every month on Spotify and Youtube.
In the last section of the association, Yassin discusses how to distinguish between work and person
A few weeks ago, he swept the table at the P3 Gold concert. Yassin, in his absence, was awarded the Grand Prix as Artist of the Year, as well as Hip-Hop / RNB of the Year.
Debate rages in Sweden, should a criminal be nominated for various music awards or not?

In addition to being an artist, Yasin is associated with the dangerous Shottas criminal gang, which for five years has been part of the bloody guerrilla war that has plagued Stockholm suburbs.
Several famous rappers of the Vårbyn network have been prosecuted
At the beginning of April, a major trial began in Sweden. The so-called spring office trial.
The trial has received a great deal of attention. These 30 people are accused of a long list of serious crimes such as murder plots, kidnappings, serious drug and weapon crimes, and explosions.
The fact that the Vårby network could have been investigated is related to the fact that the French police managed to hack Encrochat’s encrypted mobile service a year ago.
Yaseen was nominated for the assembly line major heavy music awards and has also won many of them.
At the beginning of the year, the artist Yassin was arrested and arrested shortly afterwards, possibly due to suspected involvement in the kidnapping of another artist last year. In March, he was also charged with the crime. He himself denies all the criminal charges.
The relationship between music and crime
Journalist Hugo Lindqvist He writes in Dagens Nyheter At the end of March, which revolves around how both lyrics and music videos from rap songs are included as pieces of the puzzle in this grand gang crime investigation.
According to the preliminary investigation, there is an “objective musical relationship between a number of individuals” involved in the kidnapping case. This refers to three other defendants and the victim, but not Yassin, who is accused of Khatam.
The investigation, which spans thousands of pages, points to the sight of Swedish rapeseed. Song lyrics and phrases are picked from the music videos, and the information has since been used to indicate connections between the people who were said to be involved in the kidnapping.

According to the indictment, a 17-year-old rapper was kidnapped on April 14, 2020. During the kidnapping, the victim was subjected to various degrading forms of threats and violence.
For example, the victim is said to have been forced to wear a dog collar around his neck, the victim was stabbed and forced to wear a dress, wigs and thongs. A Rolex watch and gold chains were stolen from him.
Thus the people involved are music artists of the same genre, but not from the same criminal gang as the victim.
The victim refused to cooperate with the police, due to the lack of provocation of the police in the circles in which the artist moves. But even if the victim has not been heard, the lyrics of his songs are used in the initial investigation.
Yassin has thousands of Instagram followers.

He points to the individual lines identified by the police where the suspected kidnapping has not been explicitly commented on, but the artist appears to be alluding to something he was exposed to.
So there is reason to ask stakeholders about what they mean by their texts. It is not the first time that rap scripts have been reproduced in preliminary investigations of serious crimes, it has also occurred in investigations in the US and UK, for example.
Yassin’s role was to deceive and kidnap the victim with the aim of harming his life or health and extorting him, according to the indictment.
Music acts as a means of communication
Underworld Amir Rostami was interviewed in the same article in Dagens Nyheter and noted that it really makes no difference if you refer to real events in a conversation, a book, or in the script of a song. He thinks what matters is the information you transmit.
Music in the gangster environment is not just music but it acts as a means of communication between different groups. For example, bragging about what you did in your messages or trying to excite each other.
Since Yaseen and other artists have a huge influence on the streaming services on the network, they communicate with many and can generate large revenues for their business. It plays a crucial role.
Yasin has hundreds of thousands of streams every day and nearly 1 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

Controversial versus criminal
There are countless cases of artists and performers who are not criminals per se but who are very controversial. A common way to approach this is to create a very strict distinction between work and person.
Richard Wagner managed to write his anti-Semitic views into his music and they are still being listened to.
The 2019 Nobel Prize Winner in Literature, Peter Handke, has been called both genocide deniers and warlords. Nevertheless, he won the award and we continue to read his books.

Danish poet Yahya Hassan, despite his criminal background and involvement in crime, was still a candidate for the 2020 Scandinavian Council of Literature Prize. Unfortunately, he committed suicide before the awards ceremony.
Simon Bikindi was a resident of Rwanda The most famous artist and was known as a musician who mixed traditional dance and music, with his own words, and was highly respected. He was indicted in a United Nations court and sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2008 for inciting the massacres of Tutsis during the 1994 genocide.
The song “Cop Killer” was written. American rapper Ice-T in 1992. It’s about how a person is tired of racist police and thus takes matters into their own hands. Ice-T defender said Bob Marley also sang that he shot the mayor but didn’t receive as much criticism for it.
Swedish rap artist Frigg Larson (Known among others, Slagsmålsklubben, Maskinen, and Far & Son) was convicted of threatening an official for his song “Then Will Be Shot” in 2019. The ruling was considered directed at the police chief who decided to crack down on the arrangement of Frig Larsson’s concert in Stockholm. At the beginning of the month, the Supreme Court acquitted him, which ruled that the song fell within the framework of freedom of expression. HD also believes that texts and music presented in cultural contexts should be allowed to be “provocative, challenging, and provocative”.

Yassin: “I do not want to compromise my art.”
A month ago, a new documentary was released about controversial rapper Yassin. it’s called Yaseen: See me shine He talks about how he himself experiences his music and his thoughts on and around it.
“I don’t want to compromise my art,” he says in the documentary, adding with a clear reference to his fans: “This isn’t just for them, it’s mine. It’s a treat for me.”

Forward and reverse triangular mergers provide an interesting twist on mergers.
Both have come under the spotlight recently, due in no small part to the explosive growth of SPACs, most of which use the reverse triangular merger form of transaction.
In this article, we at DealRoom look at how forward and reverse triangular mergers are conducted, their benefits and drawbacks to acquirers, and investigate some of the reasons why this form of transaction has risen to prominence over the past few years.
What is a Forward Triangular Merger?
A forward triangular merger is when a company acquires a target company through a subsidiary or shell company. This form of transaction is sometimes called an indirect merger, as the parent company of the subsidiary or shell company is indirectly acquiring the target company.
In a forward triangular merger, the target company ‘disappears’ into the shell company after the merger has been conducted.
What is a Reverse Triangular Merger?
A reverse triangular merger is when a company creates a shell company with the specific intention of using it to acquire a target company. When the shell company acquires the target company, it is absorbed into the parent company. This is the form of transaction underpinning most SPAC deals.
In a reverse triangular merger, the shell company ‘disappears’ into the target company after the merger has been conducted.
Advantages and disadvantages of forward triangular mergers
The advantages of forward triangular mergers include the following:
- Tax benefits: Tax benefits are the underlying motive for most forward triangular mergers. By acquiring the target company with a combination of cash and stock, rather than cash only, the acquiring firm can offset tax against the voting stock it uses for the acquisition, saving considerably on taxation.
- Reduced liabilities: Unlike direct mergers, forward triangular mergers involve the target company becoming a subsidiary, meaning that the acquirer is protected against the target;s liabilities, including, for example, pending legal liabilities.
- Certainty of execution: Because the only shareholder of the subsidiary is the acquiring firm, permission for the transaction does not need to be sought from the acquirer’s shareholders, reducing a common source for friction for companies involved in direct mergers.
- Ease of sale: Because the target company remains a subsidiary after the transaction has closed, it remains technically easier to sell further down the line as compared to selling a portion of a fully merged entity.
The disadvantages of forward triangular mergers are:
- Lack of continuity: The ‘disappearance’ of the target company into the shell company after the transaction has been concluded may create issues in terms of continuity; contracts and licences previously agreed by the target company will become legally void, meaning the contracts and licences have to be rewritten.
Advantages and disadvantages of reverse triangular mergers
The advantages of reverse triangular mergers are:
- Continuity: Unlike with forward triangular mergers, the fact that the target company remains a going entity after the reverse triangular merger has concluded means that none of contractual arrangements previously agreed by the target company are lost in the transaction.
- Reduced liabilities: Just as with forward triangular mergers, the acquirer takes full control of the assets belonging to the target company without having to take on the target’s liabilities.
- Tax benefits: If managed correctly, and more than 80% of the acquirer’s stock is used to fund the merger, the reorganization may qualify as a tax-free reorganization, resulting in zero tax liability for the acquiring company.
Forward triangular mergers and reverse triangular mergers are similar operations whose difference essentially comes down to the status of the target company after the merger transaction has closed.
The reverse triangular merger is far more popular on the basis that it provides continuity - the target company, its contractual agreements, and ultimately, its brand value, are all maintained after the transaction has closed. | <urn:uuid:5a2911f0-9044-4d84-b0a8-5086c55d78a2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dealroom.net/faq/guide-to-forward-and-reverse-triangular-mergers | 2024-04-18T14:53:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.955418 | 802 |

Ukrainian Consul General Dmytro Kushneruk oversees MoU between the Arizona Defense & Industry Coalition (AZDIC) and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to support Ukraine’s defense capabilities
PHOENIX, AZ — Last week, the Ukrainian Consul General, Dmytro Kushneruk, presided over a historic agreement between Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) and the Arizona Defense and Industry Coalition (AZDIC). This significant milestone aims to aid Ukraine’s defense capabilities and contribute to joint projects for the protection of critical infrastructure.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was formally executed during a reception at Squire Patton Boggs in Phoenix, Arizona with AZDIC President Lynndy Smith endorsing the document. Consul General Dmytro Kushneruk played a pivotal role in overseeing the signing, emphasizing the collaborative nature of the agreement. The MoU will facilitate cooperation between MIA and AZDIC, aimed at initiating and deepening mutual relations to strengthen the defense capability and security of Ukraine. Together, they intend to foster collaboration with U.S. companies specializing in the production of defense products, services, and other related technologies.
“I am deeply honored and grateful for the enduring partnership with Ukraine as we take this pivotal step forward with the Ministry of Internal Affairs,” said Lynndy Smith, President of AZDIC. “I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the Ukrainian community for the gift of a Bulava which was presented to both Senator McCain and President Zelenskyy. This gesture not only reflects the deep bonds we’ve forged but also serves as a poignant reminder of the responsibility entrusted to us in advancing global security. We embark on this journey with gratitude, unity, and a profound sense of purpose.”
Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Vasyl Teterya, expressing gratitude to AZDIC, stated “I want to sincerely thank AZDIC for their unwavering support during this unjust war of Russia against Ukraine. The dedication and support of AZDIC in discussions related to key defense technologies will not only contribute to our ultimate victory but also significantly enhance our long-term resilience and progress.'”
“An agreement between Ukraine’s Ministry of Internal Affairs and the AZDIC marks a significant stride in fortifying our nation’s defense capabilities,” stated Consul General Dmytro Kushneruk. “This collaboration signifies a commitment to mutual cooperation and the strengthening of economic ties. Together, we aim to harness the expertise of U.S. companies, particularly in Arizona, to bolster Ukraine’s defense capabilities and contribute to joint projects safeguarding our critical infrastructure.”
The event drew notable attendees, including senior staff from the offices of U.S. Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Mark Kelly, leadership and members of the Arizona Ukrainian-American community such as Mike Baraban, and representatives from the international law firm Squire Patton Boggs, Pedro Miranda, Rick Stilgenbauer, and Natalie Kerwin.
“Our shared commitment is clear: to equip Ukraine with the vital resources necessary to strengthen its defense capabilities.” emphasized Rick Stilgenbauer, AZDIC Advisory Board Member and Senior Policy Advisor at Squire Patton Boggs. “This partnership exemplifies the power of international cooperation, emphasizing our collective dedication to ensuring Ukraine’s security and resilience. Together, we are not just forging agreements; we are supplying the means for Ukraine to safeguard its future.”
This important agreement occurred amidst a vital trip to Arizona by Sergii Demydenko, CEO of Rebuild Ukraine Synergy, a critical partner for AZDIC in Ukraine. AZDIC orchestrated a comprehensive tour to showcase the diverse capabilities of Arizona, encompassing innovative defense companies such as MD Helicopters, Serastar Technologies, and Nammo as well as renowned educational institutions like Pima Community College and the University of Arizona. This statewide tour aimed to underscore the wealth of resources available in Arizona’s backyard.
“Exploring Arizona firsthand has been both enlightening and inspiring,” said Sergii Demydenko. “The assets showcased during this visit, from cutting-edge defense companies to state-of-the-art military facilities, highlight the tremendous potential for collaboration. Witnessing the commitment of organizations like AZDIC to strengthening Ukraine reinforces our belief in the transformative impact of international partnerships. This visit expands upon an already solid foundation for future cooperation, and I am confident that leveraging Arizona’s assets will contribute significantly to the security and resilience of Ukraine.”

With Android’s open-source nature, you can try many new things like unlocking the bootloader on the device which in itself opens the gate to many other fixes. It includes the ability to install custom recovery like TWRP, flashing modules and frameworks and getting administrative privileges in the form of the root. This tutorial shows you how to fix TWRP Error 7/1 without needing a PC that you may experience while flashing a custom ROM such as LineageOS.
Now, to carry out customizations you need to have a custom recovery like TWRP. This is not free of errors and bugs. Earlier when it had a competition with CWM it had some bugs. For now, it has become a beast and the only custom recovery in the market. Other modified recoveries you see across the net are based on this but there are a few issues that users are facing. If you are facing such an issue then follow through.
Fixing TWRP Error 7 – What you need to know
While flashing a custom ROM you may have faced an error on the device, it is caused when the ROM’s updater script file checks to see if the mobile device is compatible with it we are installing known as “asserts”. This is a safety mechanism that keeps a check that we do not install any incompatible version because if we do we might end up with a bricked device.
Though this mechanism is an important component, many users face this error as they flash the correct build. If you are getting a custom OS on the device then you shall not be facing this issue in the first place, still, if you are then do not worry.
Pre-requisites that you need to have:
#1: Any unzip software like 7Zip, WinZip and others.
#2: Text editor software like notepad++: We suggest you not use Windows’ default notepad application.
How To Fix TWRP Error 7/1 (4 Working Ways)
Extract your ROM
Extract the custom ROM that gives this error to the system.
Rename the ROM file
- Go to META-INF folder > com >> google >> android.
- In here you would find 2 files; update binary and updater-script. Rename later to updater-script.txt.
Open the .txt file
Next right-click on “updater-script.txt file and choose “open with”. From the menu choose “notepad++ application”.
Edit the “updater-script”
You need to delete lines starting from the word “assert” to the next semi-colon. This portion is usually on the top.
Once removed highlighted text, the first line should now begin from the “mount” word.
Save and rename
Once the mentioned section has been deleted from the file, save it, once done rename “updater-script.txt” back to “updater-script”.

Re-compress files as shown below:
Flashing the ROM
Once ROM has been re-compressed, transfer it to your device and try flashing again. Now you would not face TWRP error.
To flash TWRP there are many things you need to enable on the phone
Unlocking the hidden developer option
For this go to settings > about phone > more, and choose “build number” 7 times. These shall now appear on the settings screen.
Make sure USB Debugging is enabled
For this go to settings > developer options, check the “enable unlocking” box.
Install ADB and fastboot on system
Next, get these as with this you can control your phone through a command prompt or terminal and sideload software onto it.
The best way is to get SDK platform-tools from the Android developer’s site. Download tools, and extract them to a folder (we go with “C:\adb”)
Connect the phone to the system through a USB cable. Be sure that its mode is set to “transfer files” or “transfer media”.
ALSO CHECK: ADB Fastboot Commands (Latest List) PDF.
Go to the TWRP devices web page on your phone, type its model into the box, on the next page do to download links, pick mirror and get the latest TWRP image file to the system.
Next open the command prompt as administrator, use “cd” command to change the default directory to where platform-tools were extracted (for us command is cd\adb\)
Adb reboot bootloader
This shall reboot the connected phone to it.
In here, it is crucial that at the top of the screen, it says “unlocked”. This indicates that it is unlocked and you can continue with flashing TWRP.
If it is locked, you shall need to follow the phone’s OEM’s instructions to unlock it. HTC, Sony, and Motorola have tools on their sites that guide the process throughout.
TWRP Recovery Installation FAQ
Method #1: Installing TWRP Recovery
Assuming the bootloader is unlocked, once the phone is in recovery mode use the volume button to scroll to download mode, hit the power button to select it.
Once in this mode, enter the following command on the system:
Fastboot flash recovery twrp-version.img
Replace “twrp-version” with the same file name of .img that you downloaded.
Press enter to install it into your phone.
To open this, click “reboot to recovery in a bootloader”. To access it and the bootloader in future, turn off the phone and hold the volume down and power buttons till the bootloader loads.
ALSO CHECK: Android WebView Crashing Fix [Easy Tutorial].
Method #2: Installing SuperSU with TWRP
When it opens, it shall ask if you want to “keep system read-only”. Answer in “no” as this would prevent installing custom ROM and making use of its features.
Tick box which says “never show you this screen again”, swipe across the bottom of the screen.
On the system download its latest version and save it to the device.
Back to TWRP’s main menu, click install, and go to SuperSU zip file download, click in and then swipe to confirm flash.
The rooting process shall now begin; it shall take about a minute. Once completed, click “wipe cache/Dalvik” then reboot the system.

A cantilever can refer to a structure that is maintained at a single end or that appears to hang without much background. This is a typical term in construction modeling and construction. With respect to the outrigger umbrella, the term usually means an outer umbrella that is used for shading and is connected from one side to a lonely, unsupported post.
The mill cantilever barrel has a sturdy base and a rod or post that bends slightly when it reaches the top. Part of the bar points upwards and is connected to the highest point of the screen in the middle. Sometimes the bar has an extra piece that crosses the curved piece and then dips towards that piece and forms a triangular shape.
This can lead to more remarkable strength. There are numerous varieties, however the key parts, from poles rising from a base and following the screen focus, are generally present. Most of these umbrellas are large enough to shade a few seats or a small table. Many people tend to use this umbrella style for tables. Shaded tables can be attractive, but many people are not interested in umbrella tables because the umbrella post protrudes from the center of the table and takes up so much space.
With a cantilever not attached, the post can be attached to the side of the table. One thing that may worry some individuals on the cantilever is solid base. Most contours are so overwhelming that they do not fall over or tip over in a stormy climate.

You’ve probably heard about the increasing use of drones in diverse fields, from entertainment to delivery services, agriculture, and more. However, have you wondered about the mechanisms that make these drones so versatile and efficient? The secret lies in the integration of multiple sensors.
Before we dive into advancements, it’s crucial to understand the concept of multi-sensor integration in drones. Essentially, this involves combining data from multiple sensors to enhance the overall functionality and efficiency of a drone system.
In simple terms, imagine a UAV as a technological symphony with various instruments (sensors) playing together to create a harmonious sound (data). Each instrument (sensor) plays a unique role, contributing to the overall performance of the orchestra (UAV).
Historically, drones have primarily relied on vision-based sensors, like cameras, for navigation and task execution. However, as drone applications have expanded, so has the need for more sophisticated sensor systems.
A lire en complément : How Is Cloud Computing Being Used to Enhance Drone Performance?
Now, UAVs integrate an array of sensors, including, but not limited to, infrared sensors, ultrasonic sensors, LiDAR, radar, GPS, and even environmental sensors for temperature, humidity, and air quality detection.
Sensor fusion, the process of merging data from various sensors, has seen significant advancements in recent years. The initial challenge was efficiently merging data from different sensors in real-time. It was crucial to ensure that the information collected by one sensor didn’t contradict or confuse the data gathered by another. This required sophisticated algorithms and computational power.
The introduction of machine learning and artificial intelligence in sensor fusion has been a game-changer. AI algorithms can now analyze and combine data from different sensors more accurately and faster than ever. This has led to the development of robust, efficient, and versatile UAVs, capable of operating in a diverse range of environments.
Additionally, the advancements in miniaturization technology have allowed for the integration of multiple sensors in smaller drones. This has broadened the application of UAVs, enabling them to operate in tight spaces and conduct tasks that were previously thought impossible.
The integration of multiple sensors in UAVs has opened a world of opportunities in several fields. For instance, drones equipped with thermal imagers and HD cameras are now used in search and rescue operations. They can efficiently cover vast areas in a short time, identify heat signatures of lost individuals, and provide high-resolution images for rescuers.
In agriculture, drones with multispectral sensors are transforming the sector. They can monitor crop health, identify pests and diseases early, and offer precision agriculture solutions, such as targeted spraying.
Similarly, in environmental monitoring, drones with environmental sensors are being used for air quality monitoring, wildlife tracking, and even detection of illegal activities like poaching and deforestation.

Technology advancements have paved the way for the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in sensor fusion for drones. Drone technology uses these techniques to process data collected from multiple sensors, making real time decisions even in complex environments.
Machine learning algorithms can analyze and interpret drone sensor data more accurately and quickly than manual processing. They are used to predict patterns and make informed decisions based on the data received from each sensor. For instance, thermal sensors and high-resolution cameras on a drone can detect heat signatures and take detailed images in search and rescue operations. The machine learning algorithm would then analyze this data, identify potential areas or individuals in need of help and provide real-time updates to the rescue team.
Moreover, machine learning algorithms can be trained to handle conflicts and inconsistencies in sensor data, thereby enhancing the reliability and accuracy of the data. This is important in applications such as environmental monitoring where accurate data is crucial for assessing environmental impact and making vital decisions.
Another significant advancement is the application of AI in sensor fusion. AI algorithms can sort through vast amounts of data from different sensors, identify essential details, and disregard irrelevant information, thereby enhancing the efficiency of data collection and processing. For example, in agriculture, drones equipped with multispectral sensors can collect data about crop health, soil condition, and weather patterns. The AI algorithm then processes this data to provide farmers with actionable insights, allowing for precise farming practices that increase yield and reduce environmental impact.
The unmanned aerial vehicles industry is on the brink of a revolution with advancements in multi-sensor integration technologies. In the coming years, we can expect to see drones equipped with more advanced sensor systems, capable of undertaking more complex tasks.
One potential area of development is the application of sensor fusion in fixed wing drones. These drones, due to their ability to cover more significant distances and carry larger payloads, can greatly benefit from multi-sensor integration. They can be used in a range of applications, from mapping and surveying to delivery and logistics.
Open-source platforms are also anticipated to play a pivotal role in the future of multi-sensor drones. These platforms allow for the sharing of knowledge and resources, fostering innovation and speeding up the development of new technologies and applications.
On the google scholar and international conference front, there is an increase in research and discussions focusing on advancing drone technology and overcoming challenges related to sensor fusion, data processing, and decision making. Such academic interest further demonstrates the promising future of multi-sensor integration in drones.
However, as we move forward, it’s crucial to give due consideration to the social implications of drone technology. Issues relating to privacy, security, and ethics must be appropriately addressed. Guidelines and regulations must be put in place to ensure the responsible use of drones without infringing upon individual rights and privacy.
As we close the open separate window on this topic, it’s clear that the advancements in multi-sensor integration for drones have opened up a world of possibilities. It’s a thrilling time for the UAV industry, and we can only anticipate the wonders that the future holds. As technology evolves, we must continue to harness its potential while maintaining a balanced focus on ethical considerations.

Our Points of Unity
Adopted May 9, 2019
For Socialism, Against Capitalism
War, poverty, exploitation, oppression, white supremacy, institutional misogyny and worldwide environmental destruction are products of the capitalist system, a system in which a minority ruling class profits from the labor of the majority. Communists struggle for reforms which can improve the lives of workers, but reforms alone will never resolve the inherent contradictions of capitalism. The alternative is socialism, a society based on workers collectively owning and controlling the wealth their labor creates, paving the way to the abolition of class. We stand in the Marxist tradition of international worker action from below—organized, principled, and disciplined action, informed by an analysis of the state as an agent of the capitalist class, and armed with the ability to strike.
Workers create society’s wealth, but have little control over its production and distribution. A socialist society can only be built when workers collectively take control of that wealth and democratically plan its production and distribution according to present and future human needs instead of profit. The working class, varied in its character, is the vast majority of society and is the key to the fight for socialism. Workers’ central role in production gives them a social power—by the use of the strike weapon—to paralyze the system like no other social force. Socialism is working-class self-emancipation. Only mass struggles of the workers themselves can put an end to the capitalist system of oppression and exploitation. Unions are most effective when the rank and file organize themselves independent of union officials. We support unions as essential to the fight for workers’ economic and political rights.
We actively support the struggle of workers and all oppressed people for economic, political and social reforms, both as a means to improve their conditions and to advance their confidence and fighting strength. But reforms within the capitalist system cannot put an end to oppression, exploitation or ecological devastation. Capitalism must be replaced. The structures of the present government (enforced by the police) grew up under capitalism and are designed to protect capitalist rule. The working class needs an entirely different kind of state—a democratic workers’ state based on councils of workers’ delegates. We do not support candidates of capitalist parties like the Democrats or the Republicans. We support genuine left wing candidates and political action that promotes independence from the corporate-dominated two-party system in the US.
Capitalism is an international system, so the struggle for socialism must be international, uniting oppressed peoples of all countries. The international working class is the only force capable of solving global problems like war, hunger and environmental destruction. Communists oppose imperialism—the division of the globe based on economic and military might—and support the self-determination of all oppressed peoples. We oppose settler-colonialism and support the sovereignty of Indigenous peoples from the occupied Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute territories where we organize to occupied Palestine and everywhere in between. We support Indigenous struggle for control of their lands against the US and all other settler-colonial forces. We oppose all immigration controls, including and especially closed borders. We oppose US intervention everywhere and in every case. We are for self-determination for Puerto Rico and all US territories. We stand in the tradition of revolutionaries who resisted both social democracy and Stalinism, and we support the struggle for workers’ power and democracy against fascist states, capitalist hegemonies, and bureaucratic ruling classes in so-called socialist countries.
Full Equality & Liberation
Capitalism divides the working class based on sexual, gender, racial, national, and other distinctions. The specially-oppressed groups within the working class suffer the most under capitalism. The liberation of the oppressed is essential to socialist revolution and impossible without it. We oppose white supremacy, misogyny, and all forms of oppression and acknowledge the compounding intersection of these oppressions. We support the struggle for immigrant rights, for Black and Indigenous liberation, and all the struggles of the oppressed. We fight for real social, economic, and political equality for women and seek an end to discrimination against LGBTQ+ people under cisheteropatriarchy. Believing survivors and standing with and among them in our fight for true emancipation is centered in our organizing.
The Revolutionary Party
To achieve socialism, the most militant workers must be organized into a revolutionary socialist party. The ruling class in capitalism is highly organized and disciplined – to effectively oppose it we need to meet it with our own discipline and organization designed to facilitate the mass mobilization of the working class. We are committed to playing a role in laying the foundations for such a party to emerge in the future. In our current period and context, this means studying and struggling together to develop and apply a coherent set of Marxist politics. We aim to build an independent socialist organization, rooted in workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods that, in fighting today’s struggles also wins larger numbers to the fight for socialism. | <urn:uuid:0bfecf07-cb4e-4ecd-ac0f-3dbb13644334> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://denvercommunists.org/points-of-unity/ | 2024-04-18T15:05:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.947767 | 993 |

The response for cancelled orders is the same as for normal orders, but the status of the order will be different. In the Order object, the ‘state’ field will be set to ‘CANCELED’ for cancelled orders.
The dates received from the orders are in UTC format. You would need to convert them to the retailer’s time zone if needed.
You can create an order and then void items or modifiers using the Orders API. However, voiding an item or modifier is not directly supported. You would need to update the order to remove or modify the item or modifier.
There isn’t a specific option to create a complimentary item for an order. However, you can create an item with a price of $0 or apply a 100% discount to an item to make it complimentary.
Returns and refunds are different. A return is when a customer returns a product they purchased, and this is tracked in the Order object. A refund is when money is returned to the customer, which is tracked in the PaymentRefund object.
You can create VOID, CANCELLED, RETURN, REFUND, and COMPLIMENTARY-ITEMS orders from the Square Point of Sale (POS) App. For VOID and CANCELLED orders, you would need to create an order and then cancel it. For RETURNS, you would need to create an order, complete the payment, and then process a return. For REFUNDS, you would need to create an order, complete the payment, and then process a refund. For COMPLIMENTARY-ITEMS, you would need to create an order with an item that has a price of $0 or apply a 100% discount to an item.

The world of literature is fascinating. Words leave an impact and bring communities together. Furthermore, they reshape perspectives and introduce new ideologies. As it is such a magnetic field, it is only natural you would want to pursue a full-time career and test your creative capabilities.
However, before you land yourself a successful career, there are some steps you need to undertake before you glide through as an accomplished writer. Creative writing is a beautiful outlet, but it can become very daunting when you don’t know how to go about it. Through this blog, you will learn what it takes to be a creative writer and how you can utilize the skill for yourself.
- Conduct Thorough Research. The creative writing field contains many genres. You need first to investigate what genre has the edge over others and is well-responded by the audience. Similarly, test your writing capabilities and see how many genres are comfortable managing. Furthermore, observe if you can merge genres and how flexible you are with words. Extend your research further by finding out if people like volumes or stand-alone. What length is preferred, and how many words should typically fit on a page. Knowing your audience is fundamental in understanding who you will be catering to with your work.
- Educate Yourself More. The best part about creative writing is that you don’t need any formal education to pursue it as a promising career. However, it will help if you engage with other authors and their written material. If you don’t expose yourself to various literature, you limit your capabilities as a writer. Different materials inform you about the various styles and mediums of writing. You expand your vocabulary and understand the linking of several ideas.
If you pursue a degree in writing, it will be worth it. You don’t need a structured, physical classroom anymore. Now you can enroll in a BA English online and swiftly progress through your writing career.
- Create Your Style. Your writing should reflect you as a person and should pertain to your uniqueness. Don’t mimic styles just because they are best sellers and seem more loved by the audience. When you try types that are not your own, you end up disconnected from your work, and the audience may not engage with your work as much you want them to. Your style reflects your authenticity and a deeper understanding of your concepts, which will weave its magic for your audience.
- Have A Schedule. As a creative writer, discipline is the most fundamental trait. You cannot succeed if you don’t pace your work or know when the next book should hit the market. The more you disengage with your schedule, you end up losing your audience and the impact you created, making it harder for you to get back on your feet. A plan helps you decide how to set goals for yourself and trains your mind to be stimulated at specific intervals. You also don’t end up neglecting yourself and other duties when you know exactly how much time each work should carry and when you work best.
- Keep Practicing. Like any skill, writing is also a skill that gets better with time. Don’t be discouraged if you are unable to create something extraordinary on your first attempt. The more you practice and spend time on your craft, the more you ease yourself into the system. Keep refreshing your skills and edit work you have already completed. Revisiting work helps shape a perspective and enables you to understand better what you need to improve on.
- Attend Workshops. Meet others who share your love for writing and take advantage of their experience and insights. Workshops also let you meet well-established writers, and you get a chance to discuss their projects face to face. You can even share your material and achieve feedback in real-time and engaged with other flourishing writers. A harmonious environment may also encourage you to start writing and may even strike an inspiration.
Also, you learn about blogs and forums that can help you with your technique more. You will learn new methods and tips which you can incorporate into your writing. Workshops also help network and make it easier for you to find a good publicist.
- Publish Widely. To be a successful creative writer, you must get comfortable with the idea of submitting your work to different publications. Don’t restrict yourself to one agency and look for various agencies. Send your work to both small-scale publications as well as large-scale ones. Even talk to magazines and blogs to feature you. The key is gaining exposure in the literary world. Once you gain popularity, this momentum will entice agencies to work with you and take on your material. Go as far as making your website and boosting your presence on social media platforms.
Writing is one of the oldest professions. As society has progressed and evolved, so has literature. Literature is more than textbook knowledge. It has also steadily become a means of entertainment. As a creative writer, you may want to kickstart your career immediately. As much as the enthusiasm is appreciated, you need to follow specific steps to prepare yourself for the task. As a writer, you must know how your target audience is to prepare the material accordingly. Your research will also help you find your voice.
Engage in published works and study their style to enhance your skillset. Allow yourself you accomplish relevant credentials and a degree that will sharpen your mind and give your writing a proper direction to grow. In addition to these, practice your craft promptly and set a healthy routine for yourself. To top it all off, attend workshops and interact with other writers to learn valuable insight and create a network for yourself. Finally, let your work get exposed to various audiences and allow your work to speak for you. There you have it, the best way to become a writer.

If you have been watching the news these past few months, you might have encountered the devastating news about the burning of the Amazon Rainforest. The Amazon rainforest does have what is known as the burning season, where the rainforest is most susceptible to fires from June to December. While the drying may cause some of the forest fires out of the Amazon Basin and global warming, most of the fires are caused by human activity as they clear out more lands for farming and industry.
We cannot stop human progress. The increasing global population necessitates the need to get more land from existing rainforests. However, there should be something done to replenish the trees lost during the unwanted and unplanned forest burning. You can do something about the reforestation of the Amazon Rainforest by deciding to take part in the “Plant a tree” movement. Replanting the Amazon Rainforest is essential for the following reasons:

The massive size of the Amazon Rainforest is capable of contributing as much as 20 percent of the oxygen that we breathe in. The Amazon also helps curb down the effect of climate change by absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere brought about by human activity. If the Amazon forest is lost, the number of carbon dioxide in the air will not be controlled. Therefore, we can expect to have an increasingly hotter climate over the years.
The Amazon Provide Homes to Many Species of Plants and Animals
The Amazon dense forests are home to thousands of plants and animal species. When the trees are cut down, many animals and plants will not have places that they can rely on for shelter. Some rare species of plants and animals can only thrive within the Amazon, and relocating them to other areas will not ensure their survival. You can do a lot for Amazon when you choose to plant a tree on behalf of Amazon.
Amazon Rainforest Prevents Drought, Flood, and Erosion
The roots of the trees of the Amazon anchor the soil to prevent erosion. When dirt is washed down into the rivers, streams, and lakes, this soil fills up bodies of water with silt, which will affect the fishes or any aquatic organisms. Rainforest trees also prevent the occurrence of floods since the tree roots would absorb rainwater that seeps into the ground while the massive tree trunks will block any running surface water.
The Amazon is a Source for Medicine and Food
Amazon has long been used as a source of medicine, especially medicine coming from plants and animals that are only found within this rainforest. When Amazon is depleted, the sources of life-saving medicines will also be lost.
How Can You Help Replant the Amazon Rainforest?
You need not want to go to the Amazon Rainforest and plant a tree in-person to help in the ongoing reforestation projects. You can always do your part in the comforts of your own home. The important thing for you to do is to be educated on the dangers the world will face when the Amazon Rainforest is totally destroyed.
There is a growing movement of replanting the rainforest by giving donations to different organizations that will plant a tree on your behalf. You can also give out “Plant a tree” gifts to your friends or loved ones for special occasions. | <urn:uuid:e6afa96e-9b89-4ff2-a36e-c1d40ef79f2a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dfives.com/why-we-need-to-replant-the-amazon-and-how-we-can-help/ | 2024-04-18T14:17:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.952653 | 673 |
“A loud rumble echoed and water started trickling down with soil and rocks. Villagers immediately left their homes and fled to safety,” recounted Manzoor Hussain. Hussain lives in Hassanabad, a village in the Hunza valley high in the Hindu Kush Himalayas in northern Pakistan.
It was siesta time on May 30 when the rumbling started. “It was not the first time, so people in the village knew what was happening. They were aware of glacial lake outburst floods [GLOFs]. They thought it was a GLOF at the Shishper glacier,” said Hussain.
In fact, a lake near the Machuhar glacier had burst its banks, causing a flood that submerged farms, the local power plant and part of the Karakoram Highway. Most residents had to sleep in tents afterwards.
Was this a GLOF, where the failure of an unstable natural dam releases meltwater from a glacier? The question is complicated by the Karakoram Anomaly, which describes the advance of glaciers in the region in contrast to the retreat of other glaciers in the Himalayas and globally. Expert opinion is divided.
Zaheer Uddin Babar, the focal person for GLOFs in the Gilgit Baltistan Disaster Management Authority, said, “We can’t interlink the recent incident with a GLOF. Satellite images received from SUPARCO [Pakistan’s Space & Upper Atmosphere Research Commission] are not indicating any glacial lake. It may be the water spilled out from a lake on the surface of the Machuhar glacier. The water flow was as low as 3,000 cusecs [cubic feet per second] only.” In some parts of the Hindu Kush Himalayas, water flow after a GLOF has been recorded at around 100,000 cusecs.
The villagers thought the May 30 incident was a GLOF because they had experienced one with a water flow of 7,000 cusecs in 2019, when a 1.5 kilometre-wide lake burst its banks. That time, a large section of the Karakoram Highway, a bridge, two power plants, some offices, over 100 houses, the water supply pumphouse and most farms were submerged.
Shishper is a surging, or advancing, glacier. It formed around the beginning of the twentieth century, when what was then the Hassanabad glacier in the north of the Hunza valley split into two. Machuhar is the other glacier formed by this split. Like the overwhelming majority of glaciers in the Hindu Kush Himalayas, Machuhar is receding due to the warming caused by climate change. There are over 15,000 glaciers in this tallest and youngest mountain range of the world, which stretches from Afghanistan to Myanmar. The number keeps changing as receding glaciers split into two or more.
The surge of one glacier while its neighbour melts is creating a strange situation. Babar said Shishper has been surging quickly; it moved forward two kilometres in 2018-19, though there has been no indication of a surge since November 2019. But the earlier surge blocked the drainage route of the Machuhar glacier. As a result, a lake has formed at the snout, or mouth, of the Machuhar glacier, and is getting bigger as climate change gathers pace and the rate of melt increases.
Blocking the water flowing down from the Machuhar glacier also means blocking this water supply to the Hunza River, a tributary of the transboundary Indus River.
There are other glacier pairs in the same situation. Zahid Hussain, a field manager in a GLOF project, said, “Yune glacier in Bagrot valley is also extending and it has already blocked the waters of Gurgo glacier. A huge cavity has opened up on the hillside, at the intersection of the two glaciers. There is a lake forming, which can burst its banks and can create a disaster any time.”
Muhammad Riaz, director-general of Pakistan Meteorological Department, told The Third Pole, “There are more than 3,000 glacial lakes in the Karakoram ranges and 34-36 of them have been declared to be of high GLOF potential.”
The danger of a surging glacier
“But the glacier surge is a larger menace than GLOF,” said Sher Mohammad, a glacier specialist at the regional International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, with its headquarters in Kathmandu. “There are more than 200 glaciers identified in the Karakoram range with surging or surge-like history and these glaciers cover more than 40% (7,700 square kilometres) of the total glacier area in the Karakoram.”
“The exact reason for some glaciers surging in the Karakoram is still unclear,” he added. “It has no linear correlation with snowfall anomalies and thermal changes. However, extreme weather and climate change probably affect surges and surge dynamics, such as intensification, enhance melting, creating crevasses on glacier surfaces and changing the glacier volume.”
Asif Khan, an expert on climate change and an author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s sixth assessment report, said, “Surging is a short-lived event, when a glacier moves 10 to 100 times faster than its normal velocity.”
Mohammad said the flooding on May 30 was probably triggered by a rise in temperature, causing significant glacier melt and increasing the size of the lake. Meteorological data shows a significant temperature rise in the Hunza area in late May. In the first half of June, water was still flowing down the hillside and being blocked by debris, posing a potential risk of another flood.
Shaukat Ali, a climate expert at the Islamabad-based Global Change Impact Studies Centre (GCISC), said, “Surge is a phenomenon that can also be caused by extreme events of precipitation. The Karakoram Anomaly may cause surging and advancing of the Shishper glacier. Our research at GCISC shows that Gupis, Drosh, Chitral and Gilgit are the future hotspots of the highest increase in average temperature in the 21st century.”
Ali pointed out that this could lead to significant changes in future water availability in Pakistan, which is dependent almost totally on the Indus basin for irrigation and other uses. Pakistan’s agriculture sector contributes around 22% of Pakistan’s GDP, and over 45% of the country’s workforce is engaged in agriculture, directly or indirectly.
A higher glacier melting rate can also trigger GLOFs and floods downstream, leading to more infrastructure and economic losses, Ali added. | <urn:uuid:65fc9ca3-0c2e-4047-b41b-9f3170b6daa3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dialogue.earth/en/climate/glacier-lake-floods/ | 2024-04-18T14:15:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.960185 | 1,398 |

COVID-19, a puzzling virus in itself, has continued to vex doctors and patients with its sometimes serious, debilitating aftereffects. These persistent symptoms, labeled long COVID and affecting every demographic, are particularly worrying as the effects on children and teens are increasingly being recognized.
One challenge in treating the condition is that many people still question that COVID in general and long COVID in particular are real threats to children, said Dr. Amy Edwards, director of the Pediatric COVID Recovery Clinic and associate medical director for infection control at UH Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital in Cleveland. But kids do get COVID, she said. “Kids can even have severe COVID” with some dying. Not all of them had significant preexisting conditions, either; some “were perfectly healthy,” she noted. Yet there are still doctors who doubt that children can get long COVID, so Edwards said it is imperative to get the word out. “We have to help these kids” as there are serious concerns about their long-term outcomes if they don’t get help, she noted.
Bree Saligumba, a now-12-year-old California girl knows first hand the burden of struggling with long COVID. In a prepanel conversation, her mother, Marci Saligumba, described Bree as an “A” student and natural athlete who came down with a mild case of COVID in March 2020. Soon after, though, Bree started experiencing rashes, pain, shaking, confusion , blurred vision and brain fog. Once she even passed out for 12 minutes at school.
“At one point,” her mother noted, Bree had appointments “every single day of the week.” Her daughter’s care became fragmented and uncoordinated among the different practitioners, including one who made it clear that he didn’t think long that COVID was the cause of Bree’s medical issues.
“I think we have our work cut out for us to kind of create awareness that this is the real deal,” said Dr. Uzma Hasan, medical director of the Pediatric Post-COVID Care Program and division chief, pediatric infectious diseases at Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center, an RWJ Barnabas Health facility in Livingston, New Jersey. Edwards added, “I can’t tell you how many parents or patients have cried in my COVID recovery clinic because they’re just so relieved to find somebody who will spend the time listening to them.”
Estimates suggest that between 4% and 25% of kids who get COVID develop long COVID, said Dr. S. Kristen Sexson Tejtel, director of the COVID-19 Return to Activity Clinic and of preventive cardiology at Texas Children’s Hospital in Houston. There is no lab test to precisely diagnose the condition, which makes it hard to pin down, noted Tejtel, who is also an associate professor of pediatric cardiology at the Baylor College of Medicine. Symptoms may also vary from patient to patient, she explained, though they tend to fall into one of three groupings: “neuro-headache-y pain,” “dizziness-passing out,” and “GI (gastrointestinal)-stomach pain,” and these can “intermingle for sure.”
“Many of these children are struggling in school. They can’t do the things they want to do with their friends,” Tejtel said. About one-third of her patients had some discussion about homebound or other alternative modes of schooling. This is a significant number of kids potentially being removed from their normal routine, she noted, which can take “a huge toll” socially, emotionally and developmentally on them. With long COVID, these kids “aren’t the same as they were before,” she said. “The sparkle has gone from their eyes. And that’s what we’re working to get back.”
So far, clinicians are finding that females tend to be more severely impacted. And, surprisingly, many of the affected children only had mild or even asymptomatic COVID, Hasan observed. Then “a month out after their episode (they) were starting to become dysfunctional because of headaches or fatigue, or not being able to process information or having brain fog or having dizzy spells where they couldn’t function.” Many of these kids are hyper-achievers, she said. They see it as a personal failure that they are struggling to get back on their feet. “Lots of them had severe anxiety and depression because of that.”
Edwards said her clinic takes multiple approaches to treating long COVID. “We want to work to control the symptoms so that the patient can be functional.” To help regulate the autonomic nervous system, which controls basic functions like heart rate and breathing and seems to get disrupted with long COVID, Edwards’ team tries tweaking patients’ diets, such as their fluid and salt intake. In addition, various medications may be tried. She also noted that the hospital has started an autonomic rehabilitation program “which is working really well for a specific subgroup of patients.” Her clinic also offers mental health services.
Because many of these kids are young and otherwise healthy, the hope is that “their bodies can bounce back and heal themselves,” Edwards added. Many patients are being discharged fully well; some improve but may still need long-term, chronic management for persistent symptoms. “Those are the kids that I’m genuinely worried about,” Edwards noted. “I hope that one day we will find a real solid cure instead of this kind of mishmash of trying a bunch of experimenting.”
On that front, data is emerging that suggests the COVID vaccine can serve as a potential treatment for many patients. Hasan notes that most of the long COVID patients he has seen are unvaccinated. But, anecdotally, she has observed that, “the vast majority of kids who have (subsequently) gotten vaccinated, I would say, about six to eight weeks later, we really see a significant improvement in their symptoms.”
Various theories are developing as to why this happens, she noted: “Is there some sort of autoimmune process that’s offset by the vaccination? Do they have a hidden viral reservoir that’s neutralized?” No clear answer has emerged yet.
It’s also not clear why some children are recovering from long COVID relapses, particularly after getting reinfected, Edwards said. “We have a lot of questions about the long-term prognosis for these kids, and there’s very little being done to address it so far – globally – except for in these small, isolated clinics.”
Another major challenge facing children who develop long term COVID is psychological trauma that can manifest as mood changes – anxiety, depression or irritability, for example, Malone said. She tries to help kids get back into sports, clubs and other social activities so they can regain a sense of normalcy. That may require medications and physical therapy, he noted, as well as mental health support for the whole family.
“What’s the most challenging,” Edwards said, “is just the sheer volume” of patients. In Ohio, between 30,000 and 70,000 children have long COVID. She sees kids whenever she can – even at night. But despite these efforts, “I can’t possibly see them all.” She emphasized the need for more help from state and federal officials as well as from schools to assist children who are struggling.
Many states don’t have long COVID clinics, Malone added. So more needs to be added nationwide, along with new clinical care models, “where you can spend the time with the patient and do what you need to do.”
“If the child needs immediate care, they need immediate care,” Hasan agreed. Parents “should not have to wait for four months to care for their child.”
For health systems looking to launch long COVID clinics, Edwards advised taking a multidisciplinary approach, where by multiple specialists come together “to focus at least partially on long COVID kids” because “repetition helps breed familiarity with the illness and how to manage it.” She also recommended offering a virtual care option. “A lot of these kids, especially if they’re going through a really bad crash or really bad period of time, may not really be able to get out to see a bunch of doctors, so having that virtual option available, at least part of the time, can really help.”
In addition, Edwards urged general pediatricians and family medicine practitioners to listen to and believe their patients and then, to help control their symptoms as much as possible. “If everybody even did a little bit, it would go a long way,” she said.
Tejtel agreed, noting Texas: “We can’t take care of 70,000 children, even among all of the clinics that we have, and that’s only one state.” Primary care clinicians, she said, will be critical players in addressing the long-going forward epidemic of pediatric pediatric COVID-19, serving as quarterbacks who coordinate everything a patient needs – from consultations with various specialists to lab tests. This comprehensive “medical home” model may help more children around the country get the care they need. “If we can get to it faster, that may be the best place for it to happen,” she said.
Malone also advised practitioners to avoid pushing kids too quickly back to their lives as “that doesn’t always work … because you want to avoid crashes and sort of a worsening of symptoms.”
In fact, caring for the family as a whole, Hasan noted, “is a huge part of this process” in treating long COVID. It can be tough for parents to take a day off work to take a child to a series of appointments, she said, so “we try our hardest to make sure that it’s a one-stop shop” to ease their burden.
That attitude eventually helped Bree Saligumba recover enough to go back to school and sports, though she still experiences flare-ups that need medical management. Her mother Marci has this message for doctors: “Please believe your patients when they tell you that something is wrong.” Even if lab work comes back to normal, that doesn’t mean it’s all in a patient’s head, she said. “We need help, and we have to trust that you will find a way to help us out.” | <urn:uuid:8c121cd9-dc64-4ab1-a5e2-6d9f458f0a2d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dietsthatwork4all.com/hospitals-intensify-efforts-to-treat-long-covid-in-kids-and-teens-healthiest-communities-health-news.html | 2024-04-18T12:56:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.97317 | 2,296 |

“We are reminded in the sacred scripture that ‘There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends,’” said Bishop Douglas Deshotel at a special Mass to honor the First Responders of the Diocese of Lafayette on Wednesday, October 2, 2019. Bishop Deshotel went on the thank the First Responders. “I know your service behind the scenes often goes unnoticed because the work you do is mostly the kind which prevents bad things from happening. It often does not make the headlines or the lead story. But for the times you prevented an impaired or speeding driver from hurting himself or others, thank you. For the times you were called to intervene in a fight or domestic dispute to prevent people from hurting each other, thank you. For the times you cite a fire code violation before someone is injured, thank you. For the times you stopped a substance abuse user from driving off and hurting himself or someone else, thank you. And for all those midnight phone calls that you get to rush a sick person or accident victim to the hospital, thank you!” The Blue Mass took place Wednesday, October 2, 2019, at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in Lafayette. October 2nd is the Feast Day of the Holy Guardian Angels. Father Chester Arceneaux and Father Louie Richard concelebrated the Mass. After Mass, Acadian Ambulance hosted a reception at Cathedral Hall. Please pray for the continued safety of our law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical professionals and all those who put themselves in harm's way each day to protect and serve others. | <urn:uuid:3fbbc121-34d8-446a-a757-d45c06a8698f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://diolaf.org/photoalbums/blue-mass-2019 | 2024-04-18T13:58:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.965011 | 331 |
We buy life insurance to protect our family’s welfare. It is a form of security that gives beneficiaries much needed financial support when a loved one passes away. Most life insurance companies make good on their policies, paying billions in death benefits annually to beneficiaries.
Still, thousands of claims are denied or contested every year. Some companies deny life insurance claims more than others.
Life insurance companies have a duty of good faith and fair dealing when it comes to evaluating and paying claims. Bad faith denial of life insurance benefits occurs then the insurance company fails to honor its contract.
Our life insurance bad faith law firm knows insurance companies make money by collecting premiums, not by paying out claims. They will resort to many wrongful practices in order to delay or deny valid claims.
You or a loved one may have a policy, or may need to file a claim for death benefits, with any of a number of regional or national life insurance providers, including:
- Banker’s Life
- First Penn-Pacific
- Globe Life
- John Hancock
- Lincoln Financial Group
- Met Life
- Mutual of Omaha
- National Union
- National Western
- New York Life
- North Atlantic
- Sun Life
Possible reasons for life insurance claim denial are diverse. Beneficiaries may be shocked to learn that their provider has based a denial on the pretense of fraud committed by the policyholder. Insurers may allege material misrepresentation or intentional distortion of fact on the life insurance policy application, or self-inflicted harm as cause of death in an AD&D claim, or other allegations of wrong behavior on the part of the applicant.
Types of Life Insurance Policies
Life insurance comes in many forms; some policies have an investment component and some do not. Regardless of the type of policy, life insurance companies can deny a claim in bad faith.
Term Life Insurance is the most basic and affordable type of policy, which offers lump sum benefits for a certain number of years at a specified premium. There is no investment component.
Group Life Insurance Policies involve life insurance coverage under a group benefit plan provided by a private employer to its employees.
Whole Life Insurance entails a set premium throughout the life of the policy, and part of the premium is invested to create a cash benefit as well as the fixed amount payable at death.
Permanent Life Insurance policies provide coverage for the duration of your life.
Universal Life Insurance is similar to whole life in that it pays a cash benefit in addition to the death benefit, yet with more flexibility.
There are many other types of life insurance, such as variable, survivorship, joint, convertible life insurance and more.
It is a sad truth that billion-dollar insurance companies know that they can easily exploit claimants through any and all types of life insurance policies. And when it comes to claim denials, the insurance company will likely prevail over an innocent beneficiary who is not represented by an experienced and resourceful life insurance lawyer.
How Bad Faith Life Insurance Denials Occurs
Policies are often written in such a way that they can barely be understood. The details can often be translated to benefit the insurance company instead of the policyholder. In bad faith life insurance denials, the insurer often claims the decedent misrepresented some fact on the insurance application.
Life insurance claims take place during a time of mourning and grief for the loved one who passed away. Beneficiaries of the deceased may lack the spirit and strength to investigate why their claim was denied. Many insurance companies know this and take full advantage of it.
When Your Life Insurance Company Acts in Bad Faith
It is a tragedy that individuals are trapped in a situation where they simply give up. Or, if they do have the fortitude, many are forced to jump through unreasonable hoops to justify their valid claim.
If you are faced with a bad faith life insurance claim denial, we can help you take legal action against your insurance company. At Marc Whitehead & Associates, we are life insurance denial lawyers committed to righting this wrong.
We handle bad faith lawsuits against insurance companies for rejecting or underpaying policy benefits. We also handle claims against insurers for making omissions or errors that undermine a policyholder’s ability to collect payments.
Insurance companies engage fleets of attorneys to make sure you do not receive your benefits — or that you accept a much smaller settlement. To successfully fight the insurance corporations, attorneys must have a thorough knowledge of insurance applications, practices and insurance law.
Our Attorneys Defend Against Bad Faith Life Insurance Claim Denials
These types of deceptive and illegal actions are not acceptable. The insurance companies should be held liable for their actions. As life insurance denial lawyers, we have a great deal of experience in holding insurance providers accountable to their policies. We are fully prepared to litigate against billion dollar insurance companies on your behalf.
Let us explain your rights under federal and state laws and help you determine the best way to move forward. We will take on the insurance company, while you take care of matters at home.

Combustion-generated carbon black nanoparticles, or soot, have both positive and negative effects depending on the application. It is used as a reinforcing agent in tires, black pigment in inks, and surface coatings. It also affects performance and durability of many combustion systems, it is a major contributor of global warming, and it is linked to cancer. Laser-Induced Incandescence (LII) was used in this study to measure soot volume fractions in four steady and twenty-eight pulsed ethylene diffusion flames burning at atmospheric pressure. A laminar coflow diffusion burner combined with a very-high-speed solenoid valve and control circuit provided unsteady flows by forcing the fuel flow with frequencies between 10 Hz and 200 Hz. Periodic flame oscillations were captured by two-dimensional phase-locked LII images and broadband luminosity images for eight phases (0°- 360°) covering each period. A comparison between the steady and pulsed flames and the effect of the pulsation frequency on soot volume fraction in the flame region are presented. The most significant effect of pulsing frequency was observed at 10 Hz resulting in 1.4 times reduction for the total soot volume fraction. | <urn:uuid:3349d00b-7cd4-42be-bfaa-4360af52fc77> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://discovery.fiu.edu/display/pub132486 | 2024-04-18T14:31:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.933452 | 249 |

Proteomic Analysis for the Diagnosis of Fibrinogen Aα-Chain Amyloidosis.
Kidney International Reports
Hawkins_Proteomic Analysis for the Diagnosis of Fibrinogen Aα-Chain Amyloidosis_Proof.pdf - Published Version Download (977kB) | Preview |
INTRODUCTION: Hereditary fibrinogen Aα-chain (AFib) amyloidosis is a relatively uncommon renal disease associated with a small number of pathogenic fibrinogen Aα (FibA) variants; wild-type FibA normally does not result in amyloid deposition. Proteomics is now routinely used to identify the amyloid type in clinical samples, and we report here our algorithm for identification of FibA in amyloid. METHODS: Proteomics data from 1001 Congo red–positive patient samples were examined using the Mascot search engine to interrogate the Swiss-Prot database and generate protein identity scores. An algorithm was applied to identify FibA as the amyloid protein based on Mascot scores. FibA variants were identified by appending the known amyloidogenic variant sequences to the Swiss-Prot database. RESULTS: AFib amyloid was identified by proteomics in 64 renal samples based on the Mascot scores relative to other amyloid proteins, the presence of a pathogenic variant, and coverage of the p.449-621 sequence. Contamination by blood could be excluded from a comparison of the FibA score with that of the fibrinogen β and γ chains. The proteomics results were consistent with the clinical diagnosis. Four additional renal samples did not fulfill all the criteria using the algorithm but were adjudged as AFib amyloid based on a full assessment of the clinical and biochemical results. CONCLUSION: AFib amyloid can be identified reliably in glomerular amyloid by proteomics using a score-based algorithm. Proteomics data should be used as a guide to AFib diagnosis, with the results considered together with all available clinical and laboratory information.

Failing to plan is planning to fail. Everything begins with a notion, a process, or a product! Building a car, for example, began with a concept, followed by discussion, assembly procedures, designer work, and so on. It’s a minor example, but it nicely encapsulates the situation: every endeavour begins with a bang!
There is no such thing as an exceptional instance in project management! Because it is a jumbled chain of actions and commitments, it has a starting point where everything begins.
“Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.”
― Alan Lakein
The most important part of any project is planning. It instructs organizations, partners, and project managers on how to proceed with the remaining phases of the project. It promotes goal differentiation, the avoidance of missed deadlines, the reduction of risks, the prioritizing of fundamental exercises, and the delivery of desired outcomes.
However, in today’s fast-paced digital world, it’s difficult to create and execute a plan flawlessly; things are bound to go wrong, resulting in disastrous repercussions! In this article, we will look at the following topics:
Project planning is important since it serves as a guide for all facets of the business process. It includes, among other things, the following:
Our first benefit of project planning is improvement in efficiency and success rates. Unfortunately, most businesses have a 70% failure rate. Achieving the goals of a project is not always as simple as it appears.
Business processes fail for a myriad of purposes. For example, 38 percent of businesses believe that team members are unclear about their specific roles and duties. Thirty-seven per cent of plans fail because the directors fail to properly outline the objectives and milestones. When team leaders fail to manage requirements successfully, 47 per cent of plans fail to meet their objectives.
Unsuccessful plans are expensive. In any case, when a company is successful in completing a strategy, they might spend a lot of money that isn’t necessary. An ill-conceived plan will almost always result in delays, unexpected blunders, and related tasks that run wild. This largely demonstrates how important it is to have proper planning in project management.
Project planning provides design and foresight to the execution stage, resulting in the elimination of wasteful actions and instances. As a result, corporations that adhere to strong project management practices squander far fewer resources than those that do not – a staggering multiple times less, in fact.
Great communication is essential for seamless job execution, and this holds true for projects of all sizes and types. Even two coworkers should be able to communicate effectively in order to finish errands on time.
When a job involves a large number of representatives or groups, re-appropriated suppliers, and sometimes even staff members in other locations or time zones, planning how venture leads and colleagues will manage correspondences becomes critical.
A work plan considers the team’s communication needs and identifies the best methods for keeping members connected, such as email, visits, virtual gatherings, shared reports, and that’s only the beginning.
Asset planning is an important aspect of project planning. Staffing, hardware, a financial plan, office space, and time are all assets that must be used for each activity. It’s nearly impossible to ensure that an organization distributes and uses assets wisely and appropriately without proper planning.
Diverse project endeavours usually go for restricted assets, thus the organizers should make decisions on how to effectively divide those assets ahead of time. This entails a cost-cutting advantage analysis for each project activity, so organizers don’t just spend money haphazardly, but do so with reason, based on calculated numbers, and with the project’s objectives and key performance indicators (KPIs) at the top of the priority list.
Characterizing the company’s goals and objectives is another important part of the project planning process. It is easier for team prompts to turn well defined and unambiguous activity objectives into measurable proportions of progress.
Understanding the difference between objectives and goals, as well as creating them, is one thing; monitoring your progress toward them is another.
Planning improves task presentation and outcome while also influencing worker retention. Employees are usually required to remain with their employer if they think their superiors are supporting them with obligations. This makes people feel more connected to their jobs, and when people feel connected, they are 87 per cent less likely to leave their jobs.
Involving workers in project planning enables them to contribute their ideas and knowledge rather than merely telling them what they must do. This enables better execution and helps employees feel like valued members of the organization.
The reason why project planning is important extends well beyond the scope of the project itself. It has a direct influence on how people feel about their employment – and whether they decide to resign or stay.
By any stretch of the imagination, having a project plan is important because it puts you in a better position than not having one. Working more efficiently is the focus of savvy project leaders. By recognizing the need for planning from the start, you may make it easier (for both yourself and your team) to meet your objectives while avoiding tension and excessive increase of work later on. | <urn:uuid:71813e40-9cac-427b-80b1-e4cdd7b0ecd1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://diveintobpm.org/benefits-of-project-planning/ | 2024-04-18T13:05:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.951812 | 1,087 |

On VideoCoin network workers are paid for work they perform. Amount of work that each worker gets is proportional to the amount of stake that the worker holds on system, including stake from delegators. In order to incentivize delegators workers have to share payouts with them.
A worker, while registering with the VideoCoin network, advertises the percentage of payouts that it will share with delegators. The calculated rewards are distributed proportional to the delegated stake. Self stake is also used for the calculation and the worker will distribute the reward related to self-stake to it self.
The rewards from worker's payout are accumulated and distributed to delegators by running the VideoCoin Pool tool(vidpool) periodically by the worker.
The VideoCoin Pool tool (vidpool) tool is available as a docker image. Use the following command to pull the image.
Prepare a configuration file required by the vidpool. A sample file is shown below. The values for the keys either obtained from VideoCoin support team or generated by the user as indicated in the table.
The vidpool tool can be run to distribute the rewards accumulated until the current mined block using the following command. The worker can optionally specify a block number until which the accumulated rewards calculated for distribution. The "from" block number i.e. starting block number for calculating reward accumulation is obtained from the persistant storage specified by either from a file stored in DataDir or contract located at BlockContractAddress on the VideoCoin blockchain.
The distributed rewards will be deposited in the delegators accounts on PublicMint blockchain. With --dry-run option, transactions will be created but they won't be sent to blockchain.

We are in the midst of a global crisis of perspective. We have forgotten the undeniable truth that every living thing is connected.
PLANETARY is a provocative and breathtaking wakeup call -- a cross continental, cinematic journey. The film takes us from one of the truly extraordinary events of our civilization, space travel, and looks at how this gave us a totally different perspective on the Earth. It is a humbling reminder of the near-incalculable breadth of our impact on the earth, intellectually challenges us to reconsider our relationship with our home and the urgency to shift our perspective -- to remember that we are planetary .
Featuring interviews with thirty renowned experts including astronauts Ron Garan and Mae Jemison, celebrated environmentalist Bill McKibben, National Book Award winner Barry Lopez, National Geographic Explorer Elizabeth Lindsey and Head of the Tibetan Buddhist Kagyu school, the 17th Karmapa, Janine Benyus, Wade Davis, Joanna Macy, PLANETARY takes viewers on a cinematic journey to experience our world like never before.

Poker is a game that requires a lot of concentration. It’s a card game but it’s not random, it’s a mathematical problem and to succeed you need to be able to concentrate for long periods of time. This is a great exercise for the brain and it can help improve your concentration in other areas of your life.
Learning to play poker can also teach you discipline. To be successful, you need to think long-term and control your emotions. This is a lesson that can be applied to all aspects of your life.
In addition, playing poker can also help you learn to read your opponents. This is an important skill because it can make the difference between winning and losing at the tables. You need to be able to tell if your opponent has a strong hand or if they are bluffing.
The more you play, the better your quick instincts will become. To develop your instincts, you can observe experienced players and imagine how you would react in the same situation. This will help you to make more educated decisions in the future.
If you are new to poker, it’s important to study one concept at a time. Many beginners get overwhelmed by the amount of information available on the game. Instead of watching a cbet video on Monday, reading a 3bet article on Tuesday, and listening to a podcast about tilt management on Wednesday, focus on a single topic each week. This will allow you to ingest the content faster and improve your chances of making consistent progress.
Another important aspect of poker is memorizing the order of hands. This will help you know when it’s best to call, raise or fold. You should know that a straight beats a flush, three of a kind beats two pair and so on. This knowledge will help you to maximize your winnings.
Poker is a game of deception, so you need to be able to hide your emotions. This can be challenging if you are an emotional person but it’s important to learn to do so if you want to be successful.
Learning to play poker can be a fun way to pass the time and it’s a great social activity. It can also be a great source of income if you’re good at it. In fact, it’s a game that’s often played in retirement homes to keep the residents busy and socially active.
Despite its reputation as a mindless game, poker is actually a great cognitive exercise. It can improve your mental arithmetic skills, teach you how to read the game’s odds, and encourage creativity. This is why it’s considered a mind sport and has been officially recognized as such by the GAISF (Global Association of International Sports Federations). In this article, we’ll explore six surprising cognitive benefits of poker that you may not have thought about before. | <urn:uuid:cdac34d4-002c-491c-a391-05428fb7c4c6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dominoqq99.co/learning-to-play-poker/ | 2024-04-18T13:42:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.959457 | 586 |

Why do Zone 2?
When it comes to cardio training, understanding the nuances of different heart rate zones can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your workouts. One such crucial zone is Zone 2 cardio, which is a specific heart rate range known as the sweet spot for endurance training.
It is aerobic or base training which is a moderate-intensity workout where your heart rate is elevated to approximately 60-75% of your maximum heart rate.
A basic way to identify your Zone 2 heart rate, you first need to calculate your maximum heart rate (MHR), which is typically estimated using the formula:
Outside of testing your max heart rate, you can start with the number 220 and subtract your age, then multiply by 60-75% to find your ideal zone 2 starting point.
For example, for a 39-year-old. Take (220-39) X .60 for the low end and .75 for the high end. So, my low end would be 108 BPM, and my high end would be 135 BPM using this starting point equation.
This is a basic equation to get a starting point based on a theoretical max heart rate. I have tested my max heart rate, and I know it to be above the equation, which is 196 BPM, which now gives me a top end of 147 BPM. If you have been following my journey here, you know most of my zone 2 work I am for 140-145 BMP average. The gold standard would be combining this with blood lactate testing to identify your exact zone 2, where your body can continue to manage blood lactate without hitting saturation and tipping over into anaerobic cardiovascular work zones. This would be top of zone 3 and beyond into the dark space of zone 5.
But let us break down blood lactate more.
Blood lactate, often referred to as simply “lactate,” plays a crucial role in endurance training and is closely tied to how your body produces and uses energy during prolonged periods of exercise. To understand blood lactate and its relationship with endurance training, let’s break it down:
Lactate, or lactic acid, is a substance produced by your muscles and other tissues when they metabolize glucose for energy. It’s a natural byproduct of glycolysis, a metabolic process that occurs when the body needs to generate energy quickly, such as during intense exercise.
Contrary to a common misconception, lactate is not a waste product or the cause of muscle fatigue. In fact, lactate can be a valuable energy source, especially during endurance activities.
A key concept in endurance training is the lactate threshold, also known as the anaerobic threshold. This is the exercise intensity at which lactate production in your muscles exceeds your body’s capacity to remove it from the bloodstream. So, our goal of zone 2 training is to stay right under this threshold.
When you exercise at or above your lactate threshold, your body produces lactate faster than it can clear it away. This leads to increased blood lactate levels, which can cause muscle fatigue, discomfort, and reduced performance. Therefore, understanding and training at or near your lactate threshold is critical for endurance athletes and the amount of time in the anaerobic zone depends on your goals and your ability to recover from the training.
Endurance training is about pushing your lactate threshold higher; simply, the higher your lactate threshold, the fitter you are. That is why combining max heart rate with blood lactate testing for someone who is well-trained is the gold standard for maintaining proper zone 2 training. Suppose the well-trained athlete were to just stick with their theoretical equation. In that case, there is a high probability they will see a reduction in their lactate threshold, reducing their overall fitness adaptation. Although your max heart rate will improve through training, with aging, there is still a top end here, but even with aging, you can continue to improve your blood lactate threshold, which will move your zone 2 into the zone 3 area while still staying under your lactate threshold.
One thing to caution here is there is still potential for over-training your heart. There is a point in your zone work, in the 60-75% range, that your heart hits its maximum stroke volume of blood. We want to work at the top end of our stroke volume but not push this into chronic overreaching for long periods of repetitive training. More on this below, but let’s finish lactate.
Through consistent endurance training, your muscles become more efficient at using oxygen and producing energy aerobically (with oxygen). This means they rely less on anaerobic processes that produce lactate.
Endurance training enhances your body’s ability to clear lactate from the bloodstream. This is achieved through improved mitochondrial health, blood circulation, increased capillarization (more tiny blood vessels near muscles), and better enzymatic activity for lactate removal.
A higher lactate threshold means you’ll experience less muscle fatigue and discomfort during endurance activities, allowing you to maintain a consistent pace more easily.
Training at or near your lactate threshold also improves your body’s ability to clear lactate after intense exercise, reducing post-workout soreness and speeding up recovery. This is a critical point. Training near your threshold and still NOT going over it. This is key to your ability to recover for the next training session.
Now we understand that blood lactate is a critical player in improving your endurance. Endurance training helps your body become more efficient at using oxygen, clear lactate more effectively, and raise your lactate threshold, leading to better endurance and performance. So, whether you’re training for general health and wellness, my main goal, or any endurance event, embracing the science of lactate can be the key to achieving your goals and going the distance.
So, to review Zone 2 cardio primarily engages the aerobic energy system, gradually improving your body’s ability to utilize oxygen efficiently. This leads to enhanced aerobic capacity.
Contrary to a widespread belief that I have held onto for many years and had to debunk my own beliefs that zone 2 burns more fat, such as using it as its primary fuel source during that activity. Dr. Andy Galpin goes into heavy detail on this. New research shows that your body is going to use stored glucose first as its primary fuel source. The body’s optimal fuel source for exercise. It is not until 60-90 minutes into a training session that the body switches from using stored glucose to stored body fat. At the end of the metabolic pathway, known as the Krebs Cycle, the body uses ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) regardless of the starting point of fat or glucose. When your body has glucose readily available in the muscle and liver, this is the most efficient fuel source for energy expenditure, it is not until this fuel source is depleted that your body will start oxidizing fat into smaller carbon chains known as glucose, and then ATP. Oxidation of fat takes longer for the body, so your body will use the easily accessible energy of glycogen first. This is why training fasted or unfasted is a personal preference for most training sessions under 90 minutes as long as you are meeting your macro and calorie needs to support your active lifestyle on a daily and weekly basis. Your total muscle mass also influences this. More muscle means more stored glucose.
For a later knowledge blog, I want to touch on the weight loss piece here, but in short, total caloric expenditure and consumption will decide if your body loses fat over time, such as weeks, months, and years. But after you burn off all glucose, your body will fight to replenish your muscle and liver glycogen; depending on your caloric intake, your body will oxidize fat to replenish stored glycogen. This is not suggesting starve yourself to lose fat and force this conversion. There are many issues here, which will lead to other potential problems. In a later blog, I will explain how to optimize fat loss.
Back to Zone 2
The moderate intensity of Zone 2 cardio is gentle on your joints and muscles while still providing practical training. It allows for extended workout durations, which increase carbon utilization, which can lead to further caloric burn. Burning more carbon than the body has available can lead to less fat stored and more fat used over time.
Another massive benefit is reducing the risk of injury associated with high-impact, high-intensity training. Our bodies and health need high-intensity training, but only as much as our lifestyle allows us to recover physically. Later I will break down how much and why high-intensity needs to be a part of our training program for both fitness and longevity goals. You will never reach optimal with only zone 2 training. I don’t train for the longevity game to be average; I train to be awesome and optimal. But the bigger the zone 2 base, the better the high intensity will be, improving your V02 max and making you harder to kill.
Zone 2 cardio facilitates quicker recovery after intense workouts. The improved aerobic capacity helps your body efficiently clear waste products and replenish energy stores, aiding in faster recuperation. My increase in zone 2, is one of my main recovery tools, and you will find that your recovery from workout to workout will dramatically improve.
Zone 2 for the longevity game comes down to a big point, which is managing blood sugar.
For individuals managing blood sugar levels, exercise is a cornerstone of their wellness routine. Among the various forms of exercise, Zone 2 cardio training stands out as a potent tool in blood sugar management.
Regular exercise, especially in Zone 2, can significantly enhance insulin sensitivity. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood sugar levels by facilitating glucose uptake into cells. When your cells are more sensitive to insulin, they can utilize glucose more effectively, thereby keeping blood sugar levels stable. This is also key to fat management.
Zone 2 cardio encourages the body to use glucose as a source of energy during the workout. This can help in reducing elevated blood glucose levels, especially after meals, by facilitating the uptake and utilization of glucose by muscle cells. Just to highlight. More muscle equals more glucose utilization, even at rest, which helps manage blood sugar and also body composition, so NEVER be scared of adding more muscle if longevity matters to you.
Stress can impact blood sugar levels by triggering the release of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which can lead to elevated blood glucose. Zone 2 cardio helps in managing stress levels, potentially aiding in better blood sugar control. Zone 2 is one of my most potent stress management tools. Not only improving my resting heart rate, but also my HRV. When I am consistent with my zone 2, my heart rate variability does tend to have a positive response.
The best zone 2 method of training comes down to what you will do the most of and will be able to recover from. Any sustained monostructural effort can provide great zone 2 training, such as running, rowing, cross-country skiing, swimming, cycling, rucking, and hiking. I personally found my Concept 2 bike erg to be the best for me, and second to that, rucking, and here is why.
I love CrossFit and our Double Edge classes, one of the main reasons we built a gym. Using low-impact tools such as the bike erg has the least amount of eccentric loading vs. running and is also not as high in full body fatigue like rowing can produce. Rowing for 45-60 minutes can be very muscular fatiguing. Cycling is something I enjoy, and I can recover from these sessions overnight very quickly. The other training modalities I just do not recover from as well. So cycling and rucking are my go-to for this kind of training. Ultimately, you will do more of what you enjoy, and the goal for the longevity game is a minimum of 3 hours per week in zone two in a minimum of 20-minute sessions, but the optimal would be four 45-minute sessions per week, depending on your current base of fitness. This is a minimum dose of 12 hours per month working in this zone as a goal for optimal longevity.
This amount of training works perfectly with my desire to CrossFit five times per week, which fills all the needs my body requires for strength development, muscle mass maintenance, anaerobic cardiovascular work, stability work, and all the other areas that are top priorities for my long-term health. Our Double Edge classes hit 80% of everything you need for the longevity game. But to optimize your longevity game, you need Zone 2, so I suggest finding something you enjoy outside the gym and start stacking time in this zone, building up to 3 hours per week.
I usually try for 30-45 minutes on Tuesday and Thursday in addition to my CrossFit training and another two sessions over the weekend to hit my 3 hour weekly goal.
My purpose here is to explain how to use zone 2 for longevity, but I can also promise you that doing this will increase your sports performance dramatically. But training for sports often needs specific training protocols to optimize your sport performance goals. For example, if your goal is a 100-mile foot race, your zone 2 requirements will be dramatically different than mine for just optimizing my health for the long term.
Before you come at me about cardio-reducing muscle mass, I will explain how to optimize in a later knowledge post, but for most of us, don’t overthink this. Lift heavy things and eat healthy. Muscles will be forced to adapt. But like everything, there are ways to optimize depending on your goals. For me, although I know how to optimize for muscle gain around cardio training, I pay little to no attention to it in my current training plan. I know my net gain in cardiovascular health and muscle mass maintenance will outperform over time. Much of this comes down to how much time you have to train and which adaptations you want to optimize first. I am happy to help any member at Double Edge lay out a plan to fill their voids and optimize their training time. Just reach out to me.
Hope this helps and provides you with a valuable tool to optimize your longevity game. As a disclaimer, this post was built based on my 15 years of real-life experience, the knowledge of Dr. Peter Attia, Dr. Andy Galpin, and some assistance using artificial intelligence to help my poor grammar as much as possible.

Handling Child Custody Cases in Raleigh
Raleigh Child Custody Cases & Lawsuits
North Carolina Divorce Laws handle child custody claims according to North Carolina General Statute 50-13.1 through 50-13.9. In the event you are unable to come to an agreement on child custody, you will have to file a child custody lawsuit in the North Carolina court system. Our Raleigh Divorce Lawyers have handled hundreds of child custody cases in North Carolina and can easily explain the process to you.
Complaint For Custody
This is the typical "next step," along with many other legal forms, in the event that the parties through their respective attorneys have been unable to agree and a dispute over custody still exists.
Once that is filed, each party goes through a process that differs slightly depending on local rules and jurisdiction. However, all that remains in dispute will ultimately end up before a Judge. Jury's do not determine the custody of children.
The Judge in North Carolina will evaluate the evidence according to the standard of "best interest of the children" and, in theory, the Judge, after hearing all of the evidence will craft a custody arrangement that is most beneficial for the child. In practice, all any Judge can do is make decisions based upon what they heard and saw in Court. You have one chance, one trial, to show the Judge everything about you as a parent and the future you have in mind with the children.
This is where it is absolutely essential to have an attorney skilled in the art of presenting your side of the case in a fashion that will convince the Judge that YOU are the most responsible parent and that YOU are in that child's best interest. We work with each client before trial to determine exactly what we want the Judge to do, and then we develop a strategy to convince the Court to do it.
3 Essential Steps in Preparing For a Custody Case
We plan our case in detail and prepare our Clients for what is coming, in and out of Court.
We work hard to build the case we planned using:
- Discovery tools
- Videos where necessary
- School reports
- Psychological evidence
3. Trial Execution
No plan, no matter how good, will work if you have an attorney unable to execute it. If you have an attorney who cannot effectively articulate your positions and stand up for you, then Court will be a difficult experience.You, as the Client, have the central role to play, however you need an attorney with the ability and know-how to frame the picture and put an effective plan into action. | <urn:uuid:e06be5a5-0fae-4cfb-8321-5a720ab132eb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://doyledivorcelaw.com/child-custody/cases-and-lawsuits/ | 2024-04-18T14:59:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.956587 | 526 |
Many people assume they know the signs of food allergy…but you might be surprised.
An allergic reaction is what your immune system causes when confronted with something to which it has developed a sensitivity. Allergies can come in many different forms.
Most Common Allergens
- Animal dander
- Plants and mold
- Prescription or over-the-counter drugs
The front-runner for most allergic reactions is food…and more than 32 million Americans (including more than 5 million children) have been diagnosed with a mild to severe allergy to a specific food.
That doesn’t count all the people who have undiagnosed allergies – who don’t even know they are allergic! Do you know the most common (and uncommon) signs of food allergies?
When most people think about food allergies, they are familiar with those shown in movies. Anaphylaxis shock due to an allergy to one of the Big 8 (eggs, seafood, milk, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish, soy, and wheat) is used as a “plot device” to create drama or suspense in books and movies because without treatment, it can lead to coma or death.
There are approximately 30,000 cases of emergency room visits in the United States involving anaphylaxis annually and around 200 people die as a result of severe reactions to allergens.
The “well known” signs of food allergies…
- A tightening of the airways and inability to breathe
- Swelling in the throat that feels like a blockage
- Severe drop in blood pressure
- Lightheadedness to the point of passing out
There are other symptoms and signs of food allergies that you might ignore because they aren’t severe enough to cause you concern. The problem with ignoring them is that the more you expose yourself (even unknowingly) to a food that stimulates an immune response, the greater your risk of your reaction worsening over time.
For instance, someone who is allergic to peanuts (or any of the 8 most dangerous allergens) may have an episode that is mild the first time. The next time, their body’s reaction will be slightly worse…and then worse the time after that until eventually, they risk anaphylaxis.
Some allergies are so severe that anaphylaxis is induced with the first episode!
Now, an undiagnosed food allergy may cause a lesser response. In fact, it may be a food that consistently “doesn’t agree with your stomach” or other similar effects. Symptoms of an allergic reaction involving food can develop quickly (within minutes) or take as long as two hours.
Food Allergy Signs You Might Be Ignoring
- Itching, tingling, or numbness in or around the mouth
- Splotchy or itchy spots on your skin
- Unexplained “puffiness” above the neck (can happen elsewhere on the body)
- Irritated sinuses, congestion, or difficulty breathing
- Stomach upset that includes cramps in the abdomen, bloating, gas, diarrhea, or nausea
- Feeling dizzy or lightheaded to the point of passing out
- Fatigue, lack of energy, or moodiness after eating
- Pain in the muscles and joints
- Trouble sleeping
- Problems with concentration or recall
Sensitivity, intolerance, and allergies to foods – especially entire food groups – can lead to other conditions and nutritional deficiency. Finding the underlying cause to what is making you sick is more important than many people realize.
Get to the Root of the Problem!
Long-term exposure to foods your body can’t handle results in inflammation. Unchecked inflammation is the root cause for as much as 90% chronic conditions and diseases such as arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, autoimmune disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
When the problem is with the foods you consume, symptoms may overlap and be misdiagnosed. Most doctors treat the symptoms rather than the whole body and often miss the big picture!
The secret to being mentally sharp, physically fit, and looking ten years younger is not about what you should eat…it’s all about what you should stop eating!
That part of the equation is so critical to your overall health. I’ve written about it in my book “Diet Wise” but don’t let the name fool you! “Diet Wise” isn’t some fad weight loss plan or a rambling about the latest and greatest “miracle pill.”
It’s all about the foods *you* can and cannot tolerate. Specific to you as an individual that won’t work for anyone else on the planet…not even a parent, sibling, or child.
That’s right! The key to fantastic health cannot be duplicated from person to person because what works for you might not work for me (and the opposite is also true). Naturally, there are “healthy” foods that all of us need but that doesn’t mean that everyone can tolerate them equally.
A natural side effect of eating the best foods for you is better health, feeling amazing, and being in a better position to control your weight.
I was one of the pioneers in the food allergy movement in the 1970s and 1980s. Over the years of treating my patients, I learned that the most important thing about nutrition is not what you are lacking, but what you are eating that your body isn’t able to process well.
You need a system that allows you to work out what’s right for your individual body. Sure, it can take focus and time but the result will be how good you feel eating the best foods (that your body loves) and avoiding the wrong foods (that send your body into chaos).
It all boils down to listening to your body, not ignoring the milder signs of food allergies, and doing what makes it feel great.
Get my book “Diet Wise” right now and let’s work out your optimum eating plan together! | <urn:uuid:d3294555-9b59-4984-af45-462f7b400c9b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://drkeithsown.com/blogs/alternative-doctor/signs-of-food-allergy-you-need-to-know | 2024-04-18T14:42:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.950049 | 1,282 |
Background: Lateral compartment osteoarthritis of the knee can be a challenging pathology in the younger, active population due to limited treatment options and high patient expectations. Distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) has been reported to be a potential treatment option.
Purpose: To perform a systematic review on the survival, outcomes, and complications of DFO for treatment of genu valgum with concomitant lateral compartment osteoarthritis of the knee.
Study Design: Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods: A systematic review of the literature was performed using the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, the Cochrane Central Registry of Controlled Trials, PubMed, and MEDLINE from 1980 to present. Inclusion criteria were as follows: outcomes of opening- and closing-wedge DFOs performed for treatment of genu valgum with concomitant lateral compartment osteoarthritis of the knee, English language, minimum 2-year follow-up, and human studies. Data abstracted from the selected studies included type of osteotomy (opening vs closing), survival rate, patient-reported and radiographic outcomes, and complications.
Results: Fourteen studies met the inclusion criteria and were considered for the review. A total of 9 closing-wedge and 5 openingwedge DFO studies were included. All were retrospective studies and reported good to excellent patient-reported outcomes after DFO. Survival decreased with increasing time from surgery, with 1 study reporting a 100% survival rate at 6.5 years, compared with 21.5% at 20 years in another study. A low rate of complications was reported throughout the review.
Conclusion: Highly heterogeneous literature exists for both opening- and closing-wedge DFOs for the treatment of isolated lateral compartment osteoarthritis with valgus malalignment. A mean survival rate of 80% at 10-year follow-up was reported, supporting that this procedure can be a viable treatment option to delay or reduce the need for joint arthroplasty. A low complication rate was observed, with symptomatic hardware being the most prevalent postoperative complication.

—- Calls for Peace During the Elections in Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa States
By Zakaa Lazarus, Abuja.
The Department of State Services (DSS) said, it’s has observed rising trends and patterns of incendiary comments by some personalities of influence and representatives of non-governmental entities within and outside the country.
The secret police also stressed that Such statements run against public peace and harmony.
These was made known in a statement signed by the Director, Public Relations and Strategic Communication, Department of State Service (DSS) Dr. Peter Afunanya on Thursday in Abuja.
The statement reads in parts: It is strongly believed that a resort to acerbic pronouncements by certain persons will not only heat-up the polity but set the ground for deep-seated animosities and divisions among the populace.
“Also, it serves the country no good if its own citizens, whether at home or abroad, demarket or subvert her through misleading and false narratives.
“With the elections and the attendant contentions legally over, it is expected that we should forge ahead in nation building without rancour or acrimony.
“This is against the backdrop that reckless rhetorics have the capacity to lead to social unrest and instability, which can put the country’s well-being and the general safety of citizens at risk.
“Similarly, the Service urges key players and their supporters in Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa States to conform to the rules of engagement and specifically the electoral law during the 11th November, 2023 gubernatorial elections in the areas.
“The aim is to avert situations likely to undermine the processes. So far, the Service has substantially liaised with INEC, sister security agencies and relevant NGOs to ensure hitch free exercises in the affected States.
“The Service, therefore, implores all stakeholders, irrespective of their political affiliations or grievances, to engage in respectful and constructive conversations that promote collective understanding.
“It has thus become imperative that public commentaries should shift towards unity and peace necessary for national development and security. This should be our shared responsibility and indeed the priority of everyone.
“Those on election duties, including the media and civil society, are encouraged to avoid things that will inflame sentiments and cause a breakdown of law and order.
” Broadcast and monitoring activities should be devoid of manipulations. Stakeholders are enjoined to note that politics should not be used to destroy the country or any part of it.
“However, individuals or groups that may decide to engage in illegitimate acts or inimical conducts to public order will be decisively dealt with as dictated by the law. Forewarned is forearmed.
“Consequently, citizens are encouraged to be patriotic as well as recognise that our loyalty and love to the nation should transcend individual or parochial interests.
“Everyone is called upon to eschew bitterness and promote dialogue that contributes to the progress of the nation. Together, we can build a stronger and more secure future for our beloved country. Afunanya added. | <urn:uuid:42119ead-234b-47d3-aa77-1ca8bbb8fe32> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://easitimes.com/dss-warns-against-inflammatory-statements | 2024-04-18T15:06:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.953586 | 645 |
2. Tyus Bowser, OLB, Ravens
Before the beginning of the season, there were a lot of questions about the Ravens pass rush.
The Ravens drafted the outside linebacker Tyus Bowser in the second round of the 2017 NFL Draft, but his specialty has been in pass coverage, not necessarily rushing the passer.
Bowser still had five sacks last season, however, after the departure of Matthew Judon and Yannick Ngakoue, many wondered if Bowser was ready to lead that group.
He would have to take Judon’s role as the lead pass rusher while also remain stout in pass coverage.
So far to start the season, he had been pressuring opposing quarterbacks, but he wasn’t recording the sacks.
That changed on Sunday as he recorded two sacks in the game against the Broncos. He was constantly in the backfield all game long.
This is an encouraging sign because, on the other side, Odafe Oweh has also been flashing as a pass rusher.
If those two can consistently win one-on-one battles, it will be a game-changer for the Ravens’ defense. | <urn:uuid:f80266b7-c86e-4aef-81ec-250fb500b5a3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ebonybird.com/2021/10/04/ravens-3-players-victory-week-4-broncos/2/ | 2024-04-18T13:13:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.986284 | 238 |
A core value of the Duke Financial Economics Center is teaching students life skills that will serve them not only professionally but more broadly as they embark on their post-college lives. DFE now offers the Koru Mindfulness curriculum, an evidence-based mindfulness training program that is designed to meet the needs of college-age students.
In four 75-minute classes, participants learn how to
- more effectively manage stress through skills training
- become more aware of thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their stress levels
- build and sustain a meditation practice
Koru was developed by mental health practitioners at Duke Counseling & Psychological Services (CAPS) and has grown in popularity well beyond Duke. In a randomized, controlled trial of Koru, students reported feeling more calm, mindful, rested, and compassionate toward themselves. Over 1,000 Duke students have done Koru.
While Koru was developed with young adults in mind, people of all ages have taken and benefited from the curriculum. All Duke students, faculty, staff, and alumni are invited to participate in DFE-hosted Koru classes.
DFE offers the introductory course, Koru Basic, at least once a semester. Links to register for available courses will be posted to this page and advertised through the DFE Email List.

We are rapidly approaching the end of the year. For human kind it has been degrading. Instead of seeing progress we are seeing most of the Muslim world in turmoil.
One shining star in all this misery is Tunisia. The Nobel Prize winning Quartet is an example for all to follow.
Religion is as always one major factor in this play where it seems like killing each other for both Sunni and Shia is priority number one.
When nourished by Putin’s desire to become a new Tsar we have the perfect scenario for a shameless bloodshed. I guess history will be calling him Putin the Terrible comparable to one of his predecessors, Ivan the Terrible.
Then with ISIS heading the carnage killing all they come across in the name of the true Islam we have total madness established. The truth about these sick people is that they are pitiful gangsters of the worst kind, envying everyone around them.
Another negative effect coming out of this is hundreds of thousands fleeing their countries. With a dream of a better life in the West, forgetting or not knowing the challenge they will be phasing. Particularly sad to see that a majority of the refugees are young men. Why not staying in their own countries and take up the fight to gain peace and democracy?
So do we see an end to this barbaric situation? Not on the short term unfortunately. It will take time, a long time and the only way to get there is to bring education and work into these countries. And not only to the male population, but to the females enabling them to participate on an equal foot in society.
But having men giving up their old privileges and for many giving up having several wives and even having to take orders form a woman it will take decades at the best.
Currency & Interest Rates
The US has been talking for quite some time on increasing their interest rate. The market has been given ample time and a raise of 0.25% got a good respond on all exchanges around the world. If they are right the US economy finally is strong enough to handle this increase and if growth continues we will be seeing another 0.25% sometimes in Q1 next year followed by may be as much as 0.5% by the end of 2016. As a result we will be seeing a US dollar strengthen against all currencies.
NOK/USD is now trading at 8.75. Fairly stable high levels. The weak NOK has made wonders for traditional Norwegian exports and strong dollar compensates the fall in oil and gas prices. Norges Bank (Norwegian Central Bank) decided to keep the interest rate as is at 0.75%. Some had anticipated a fall, but several reasons for keeping it steady still. Not much changes expected in 2016 and even 2017 will be fairly flat.
EUR/USD has been fairly stable around 1.10. The long expected and strongly needed fall in the Euro is still on hold. It may still take time before it starts to fall perhaps even just stabilize on this level.
GB£/US$ trading at 1.5 where it has been for quite a while. Talks about raising the interest rate in the UK still on talking level. Seems too early to start lifting the rate. Exports have been good but a strong pound may work as a break so an increase is not what the UK needs right now.

What it is:
Plant-based living is a lifestyle choice that centers around consuming predominantly plant-based foods, while minimizing or eliminating consumption of animal products. It involves a shift towards a diet that primarily consists of fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.
Adopting a plant-based diet goes beyond personal health benefits; it also addresses concerns related to environmental sustainability, animal welfare, and global food security. By reducing reliance on animal agriculture, plant-based living promotes a more sustainable and ethical approach to food consumption.
1. Climate Change:
One of the most pressing issues the world faces today is climate change. Animal agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, and water pollution. By choosing to follow a plant-based diet, individuals can significantly reduce their carbon footprint and help mitigate climate change.
2. Animal Welfare:
The intensive practices associated with animal agriculture often raise concerns regarding animal welfare. Industrial livestock farming systems can involve overcrowding, extreme confinement, and cruel treatment. Embracing plant-based living encourages a compassionate approach by reducing demand for animal products and supporting alternative, more humane farming practices.
3. Health Concerns:
Chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer are prevalent in our society. Plant-based diets have been shown to have numerous health benefits, including lower risks of these diseases. However, it is essential to ensure a balanced and varied plant-based diet to obtain all necessary nutrients.
4. Food Security:
The global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, placing increased pressure on agricultural systems. Plant-based diets can help alleviate the strain on food resources as they require less land, water, and energy compared to animal-based diets. By shifting towards plant-based living, we can promote a more sustainable and equitable food system.
Considering the numerous benefits associated with plant-based living, it is crucial to raise awareness and encourage individuals to explore this lifestyle choice. By addressing real-world problems such as climate change, animal welfare, health concerns, and food security, plant-based living offers a viable solution for creating a more sustainable and compassionate world.
1. Embrace a Plant-Based Diet:
By shifting towards a plant-based diet, individuals can reduce their carbon footprint, mitigate climate change, and support sustainable and ethical food practices.
2. Promote Animal Welfare:
Choosing plant-based living helps to reduce demand for animal products, supporting more humane farming practices and addressing concerns related to animal welfare in the agricultural industry.
3. Enhance Personal Health:
Plant-based diets have been linked to numerous health benefits, including lower risks of chronic diseases. However, it is crucial to ensure a balanced and varied diet to obtain all necessary nutrients.
4. Support Sustainable and Equitable Food Systems:
Plant-based living contributes to a more sustainable and equitable food system by utilizing fewer resources like land, water, and energy. This helps address food security challenges posed by the growing global population.
By adopting a plant-based lifestyle, individuals can actively contribute to the solutions for a range of real-world problems. Transitioning to a plant-based diet not only benefits personal health but also plays a crucial role in environmental sustainability, animal welfare, and global food security. | <urn:uuid:85c43025-66a3-42c0-bf58-8073b8be653e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://econymity.com/2023/12/14/the-power-of-plant-based-living-exploring-the-benefits-and-delicious-recipes/ | 2024-04-18T13:29:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.928649 | 683 |

Why TORQUE BALANCE putters?
Concepts about toe hang and face balance are terms most golfers are familiar with but David Edel is not quite a believer.
In this episode, he goes into depth about what he calls torque balance. “Something I came up with eight or nine years ago,” toque balance has become “part of the huge process at Edel Golf.”
Even though most putters are torqued balanced at 90 degrees (with the shaft perpendicular to the ground), they lose that balance when they’re put on an inclined plane (lie angle). As a result, most putters have a tendency to open during the stroke. This is why most good players aim left; to compensate for an open putter face.
While the concept of eliminating torque during the putting stroke certainly makes sense, David acknowledges that the first torque balance putters he made and sold, were returned because people didn’t like them.
That’s when he realized there was another part of the equation needed if his putters were truly going to help people play better golf. It all came down to aim. Because most golfers tend to aim left to compensate for open face bias, he had to find a way to help them aim correctly. It didn’t take long for ensuring proper alignment to become part of Edel’s extensive fitting process.
When asked about the future of the torque balance concept as it relates to putting, David maintains that it’s “in a good spot.” He doesn’t see any immediate need for radical change or adaptation. Basically, if it’s not broken, don’t fix it.
At the end of the conversation, David makes it clear that while he’d love to sell as many putters as the “big OEM’s,” his values at Edel golf remain rooted in proven scientific methods that work. It’s evident that even after 24 years, David remains passionate about helping people become better putters. For Edel Golf, that doesn’t mean relying on fancy marketing campaigns or “trying to please stockholders.”
To hear insight about the inner workings of putter fitting and design, and David’s thoughts about torque balance, tune into the latest edition of the Edel Golf podcast above. | <urn:uuid:13004d51-0c20-43ff-b2f4-34d4b1e6253d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://edelgolf.com/blogs/education/why-torque-balance-putters | 2024-04-18T15:01:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.963553 | 495 |

Raising a child with ADHD is tough on parents. Children with ADHD often struggle in school, with friendships and at work. Getting your child a coach can do more than help your child succeed, it can help you too. An ADHD coach can be a critical and highly effective part of a multi-modal approach to managing ADHD symptoms and learning the necessary life skills for young people to learn to live well with the challenges of ADHD.
Coaching young adults with executive-function challenges is about allowing the brain and the body’s nervous system to work together to for best results. There are several ways of looking at coaching. One is coaching for compliance and the other is coaching for growth. By helping those with ADHD find new ways to think in a positive framework, coaches can help improve brain function, reduce anxiety, increase executive function and certainly reduce stress.
Many high school and college students have a lot of worry, anxiety and even depression because they aren’t sure what they want to do with their lives. ADHD can make those feelings even more acute. Recent research shows that when students look to external cues for a sense of self-worth can have negative consequences. An ADHD coach can help a high school or college student focus on their intentions and values as a source of self-esteem. | <urn:uuid:cb3d6d0d-115d-4499-895e-87b6f28869db> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://edgefoundation.org/tag/adhd-coaching-for-growth/ | 2024-04-18T12:58:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.969219 | 262 |

Digital marketing is extremely important for businesses today. In a world where more and more people are using the internet to find products and services, it’s essential that businesses have a strong online presence. Otherwise, they risk being left behind by their competitors.
There are a number of reasons why digital marketing is so important. Firstly, it allows businesses to reach a wider audience than they would be able to offline. Secondly, it’s more cost-effective than traditional marketing methods. And finally, it provides businesses with a way to track their progress and measure their results.
If your business doesn’t have a digital marketing strategy in place, now is the time to start one. Otherwise, you risk being left behind by your competitors and missing out on valuable customers.
What digital marketing entails

The Magic of Mushrooms
Mushrooms are a bit ‘Marmite’ when it comes to enjoying them as a food. Some gourmets are evangelical about the delights of foraging and cooking funghi – but I must admit until recently, I was not particularly a fan. Admittedly, my culinary experience of mushrooms when I was young were the supermarket white ‘button’ ones. Sadly, these are often cultivated with pesticides, and are now thought to contain natural carcinogens. The jury’s out on how harmful these carcinogens actually are, but I’m avoiding that particular type for now.
These days, I’m more intrigued the by the exotic sounding ‘shrooms – Reishi, Cordyceps and Shiitake – the ones being touted as the latest superfood powders. I was persuaded to try a sachet of Reishi hot chocolate, and this particular powder did make a really satisfyingly rich velvet-smooth cocoa. (Delicious and good for you, tick, tick.) Still, it wasn’t until I met the super interesting and glamorous Spanish Biologist, Catalina Fernandez de Ana Portela that I really began to see what all the fuss was about. Catalina’s father is one of Spain’s most important mycologists (expert in the scientific study of funghi), and she has taken over the family business in an idyllic setting in the ancient chestnut forests of NW Spain, cultivating medicinal mushrooms, producing supplements and continuing to study their benefits.
I began to understand Catalina’s enthusiasm when she explained that scientific evidence shows funghi have lived on earth for 1300 million years, with over 150 compounds allowing them to survive extreme planetary changes. And they’ve been used to improve health for centuries – the ancient ‘Iceman’ discovered in the Alps was carrying a leather pouch, thought to be a kind of ‘medical kit’, filled with strips of funghi perhaps eaten to counteract digestive parasites. Perhaps most famously, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has used funghi for thousands of years to improve longevity, heart and liver function.
We might not even realise that we have access to mushrooms in modern medicine, as VH’s very own Shabir Daya points out, ‘Many antibiotics are derived from fungal extracts and it is estimated that some 50-60 anti-cancer drugs trace their route back to fungi.’ Yet we are still at the beginning of scientific understanding the real extent of their magic, as a report on the US science data base PubMed points out: The number of mushroom species on the earth is estimated to be 140,000, suggesting that only 10% are known. Assuming that the proportion of useful mushrooms among the undiscovered and unexamined mushrooms will be only 5%, which implies 7,000 yet undiscovered species will be of possible benefit to mankind.
Meantime, we do have lots evidence of the benefits of the big three you’re likely to come across. Here’s a quick summary: Shiitake contain a substance called eritadenine, which encourages body tissues to absorb cholesterol and lower the amount circulating in the blood and is thought to have antiviral and anticancer effects; Cordyceps are used in TCM as an energy boosting tonic, and for improving athletic performance; Reishi has been shown to improve immune function and inhibit the growth of some malignant tumors. It is also anti-inflammatory, reduces allergic responsiveness, and protects the liver.
So, it turns out mushrooms really do live up to their superfood status. ‘They are a great source of protein, B vitamins, fibre and minerals. They also contain polysaccharides called alpha and beta glucans which act to support the immune system,’ says Shabir, who recommends we all benefit by taking a mushroom extract such as Reishi Shiitake Maitake Mushroom Extract by Solgar or a supplement containing mushroom extract like Daily Immunity daily to stay well during the Winter months. Not forgetting that eating the whole food as well as taking a supplement is even better. ‘Whilst supplements contain therapeutic strengths of mushroom extracts, food sources always contain other chemicals which may also be of benefit.’

EDU-SYRIA Scholarship Program is a humanitarian project funded by the European Union to improve the livelihood options of Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanian youths in Jordan through having access to higher and vocational education and having improved their employability. German Jordanian University is the administrative and management body of the project via a consortium of international and local organizations in addition to public and private academic institutions, namely, German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), Netherlands Universities Foundation for International Cooperation (NUFFIC), Queen Rania Teacher Academy (QRTA), Jordan University for Science and Technology (JUST), Yarmouk University (YU), Mutah University (MU), Zarqa University (ZU), Luminus Technical University College (LTUC) and Luminus Jordan Start.
EDU-SYRIA supports the No Lost Generation (NLG) initiative, a collaborative effort involving multiple stakeholders, including UN agencies (such as UNICEF and UNHCR), non-governmental organizations, international donors, and host governments in the affected regions, aims at providing those affected by the conflict with the chance to shape a more stable, sustainable, and secure future.
The inaugural project in this series, known as EDU-SYRIA I, commenced in December 2015 with an initial funding of 4 million Euros. Its primary objective was to offer 390 scholarships for higher education, encompassing bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and vocational training diplomas. The focus of these scholarships was predominantly on students whose pursuit of undergraduate education in Syria had been disrupted as a consequence of the Syrian conflict.
Following the inception of EDU-SYRIA I, a significant surge in scholarship demand was observed among refugees. This demand extended beyond students whose education had been disrupted to include Syrian youth who had been deprived of the opportunity for higher education. As a result, EDU-SYRIA II was established to address this growing need.
EDU-SYRIA II was launched in October 2016 with a substantially increased funding allocation of 11 million Euros. Its objective was to maximize the reach of beneficiaries by granting 1,000 higher education scholarships. These scholarships were designed to benefit students whose education had been interrupted, as well as those who had completed only high school in Syria or Jordan.
In January 2019, an additional 2.6 million Euros were allocated to further bolster the project's financial resources. This additional funding was earmarked for an extension of the initiative known as "EDU-SYRIA II Additional," which aimed to provide an additional 200 higher education scholarships.
The most recent addition to EDU-SYRIA project series is EDU-SYRIA III, initiated in February 2020. This new endeavor is focused on assisting 2,245 direct beneficiaries and is supported by a funding allocation of 15 million Euros. This infusion of funds has elevated the total financial commitment to the EDU-SYRIA initiative to 32.6 million Euros.
Additionally, EDU-SYRIA engages in a collaborative effort with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to assess the suitability of Syrian refugees for inclusion in the scholarship programs. Furthermore, the project forms partnerships with esteemed Jordanian humanitarian organizations such as the National Aid Fund, Tkiyet Um Ali, Al-Aman Fund, and Zakat Fund to identify and provide financial assistance to economically disadvantaged beneficiaries in Jordan. | <urn:uuid:18ba9d0d-9658-4a19-a06f-b16b63709537> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://edu-syria.eu/about-us/ | 2024-04-18T13:58:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.962533 | 675 |
College of Education > Student Resources > Field Experience & Student Teaching > Student Teaching > Student Teaching Experience
The student teaching experience must be a full-day and span a minimum of 11 consecutive weeks (16 weeks for special education), including all days that the school teachers are required to be in attendance (e.g., parent conferences, staff development days and institute days). Candidates in the Early Childhood, Physical Education or Special Education programs have combined student teaching placement requirements (please see below for specific program requirements). Student teachers are expected to arrive and depart from their student teaching site at the time designated for all teachers by the school. If the student teacher is going to be absent for any reason, s/he is required to promptly notify the school clerk, the cooperating teacher and the university supervisor. Failure to do so may result in removal from one's student teaching placement.
Students may not act as a substitute teacher or accept payment from their student teaching placement site.
In the event of a strike or unplanned work stoppage, the student teacher must notify the Office of Field Experiences and Student Teaching within 24 hours. If it appears that a work stoppage may prevent the student from completing the experience within one quarter, as defined by DePaul University's calendar, the student may be withdrawn from the school and assigned to another placement.
Should a problem arise that cannot be resolved by the student teacher, the cooperating teacher and/or the university supervisor, a conference will be arranged with these parties and the school principal to try to resolve the issue. If the problem still cannot be resolved, guidelines for continuing or terminating the experience should be mutually agreed upon in conjunction with personnel from the Office of Field Experiences and Student Teaching.
The cooperating teacher(s) and university supervisor will complete mid-term and final evaluations pertaining to the student teacher candidate's performance throughout the student teaching quarter. All mid-term evaluations are due midway through each placement. A final evaluation is due by the end of the last week of the placement. If requested by the student teacher, recommendations from the cooperating teacher may be written at the completion of the student teaching experience and sent directly to the student teacher. | <urn:uuid:620bd4d8-566a-4718-bf80-73c8000d1536> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://education.depaul.edu/student-resources/field-experience-student-teaching/student-teaching/Pages/experience.aspx | 2024-04-18T13:10:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.948944 | 436 |

2024 McDonnell Distinguished Lectures: Colloquium with Christopher Reynolds on Exploring the Axion-Sector with X-ray Astronomy
Many of the best motivated extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics, including String Theories, predict the existence of “axions” and low-mass “axion-like particles” (ALPs). ALPs are increasingly gaining interest as possible dark matter candidates, and sufficiently light ALPs (those with Compton wavelengths comparable to the cosmological horizon) may even be dark energy candidates. So the hunt is on to find these particles! After reviewing the motivation and basic physics of ALPs, this talk will describe how X-ray observations of clusters of galaxies are providing the most stringent constraints to date on the existence of low-mass ALPs, providing limits that already are pushing on the predictions of String Theory. I shall then discuss the promise (and challenges) of advancing these studies with the next generation of X-ray observatories.
Chris Reynolds is a Professor in the Department of Astronomy at the University of Maryland (UMD). He received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1996 and then conducted postdoctoral work at the University of Colorado before joining the Professorial Faculty at UMD in 2001. From 2017-2023, he held the position of Plumian Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy as at the University of Cambridge, serving as Deputy Director of the Institute of Astronomy there from 2018-2022. He returned to the Professorial Faculty at UMD in 2023 and is currently serving as Director of the UMD/NASA-Goddard Joint Space Science Institute (JSI). Reynolds leads a high-energy astrophysics research group with a broad focus on black holes and their related astrophysical processes.

The massive galaxy at the center of this cluster, NGC1275, hosts a bright X-ray active galactic nucleus (AGN). The X-ray spectrum of the AGN will be imprinted by any conversion of X-rays into axion-like particles as they propagate through the magnetized ICM. (Credit: NASA/CXC/Univ. of Cambridge/C.

The government of Pakistan has initiated a comprehensive effort to ensure the integrity and transparency of its flagship welfare program, Ehsaas, following reports of fraudulent activities. To root out corruption and ensure that funds reach those in genuine need, the government has implemented strict biometric verification measures for all beneficiaries. This move comes as part of the government’s commitment to make the Ehsaas program more accountable and responsible in delivering financial assistance to marginalized communities.
Ehsaas Program Biometric
Under the new biometric system, each beneficiary is required to undergo fingerprint or iris scanning to access their allocated funds, thereby preventing unauthorized individuals from misusing welfare benefits. The initiative aims to streamline the distribution process while minimizing the system’s exploitation risk. With these measures in place, it is anticipated that fraudulent activities will be curtailed significantly, ensuring that resources are channelled directly towards uplifting vulnerable segments of society. While this development marks a significant step towards enhancing accountability within social welfare programs, it also underscores the government’s unwavering commitment to eradicating corruption and promoting good governance.
In a groundbreaking move to enhance transparency and accountability within the Ehsaas program, the government of Pakistan has launched a biometric system for beneficiaries. The Ehsaas program, aimed at poverty alleviation and social safety nets, has been marred by allegations of corruption and leakage in cash disbursements. The introduction of biometric verification is expected to address these issues head-on, ensuring that funds reach their rightful recipients with precision.
This new system requires beneficiaries to authenticate their identity using their unique biological traits, such as fingerprints or iris scans, before receiving financial aid under the Ehsaas program. By integrating biometric technology into the distribution process, the government aims to minimize fraud and eliminate duplicate or ghost beneficiaries. Additionally, this move signifies a strong commitment to promoting transparency and preventing mismanagement of public funds within one of Pakistan’s largest social welfare initiatives. As concerns surrounding accountability continue to be raised, implementing biometrics underscores a decisive step towards restoring trust in the efficacy of cash transfers within the Ehsaas program. | <urn:uuid:0765f5bb-f377-4504-b2fa-2c3774be3595> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ehsaasprogram.org.pk/biometric-system-launched-for-transparency-ehsaas-cash-payment/ | 2024-04-18T13:06:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.909113 | 429 |

Windows nicely ships with a little utility that updates your system time with an internet server so that the clock won’t skew over time. This is a Pretty Good Idea, but alas, it went away several months ago.
The built-in servers time.windows.com and time.nist.gov no longer respond to requests to get the current/correct time.
As I am not the only person to identify this problem, there is an online list of other time servers that you can set windows to synch with. Just double-click on the clock in your task bar, and enter a new server name in the Internet Time tab: | <urn:uuid:659a4770-9f02-41ed-b83f-4b947580f692> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://elegando.jcg3.org/2007/07/windows-time-synch/ | 2024-04-18T13:56:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.905949 | 132 |
I was watching “Why I built Ash Authentication - James Harton” and during the demo there was a moment where James had some nice tooltips show up for what was allowed in the DSL.
As a young user of Ash myself, I find discovery of the DSL to be a challenge. I have not gone too deep into this, but what do I need to do to see similar tooltips in VS Code?
It should “just work” if you are using ElixirLS, and a recent version of ash/the extension in question, as well as spark
. Perhaps try mix deps.update spark
Just updated my dependencies (they were 4 days out of date) and then reinstalled elixirls (it too saw recent updates), trashed my build and .elixir_ls
What I see for a tooltips is:
and clicking that hexdocs
link takes me to a 404 URL:
I’m probably not going to spend a bunch more effort on this (at least today), but thought I’d ask in case I’m missing something.
yeah, so our elixir_sense extension won’t do hover, only autocomplete. It’s a bit annoying for sure. Does it work of ryou as you type? i.e attribu...
should autocomplete to attributes
Bummer.

This is the second of two papers in which we prove that a cell model of the moduli space of curves with marked points and tangent vectors at the marked points acts on the Hochschild co-chains of a Frobenius algebra. We also prove that there is dg-PROP action of a version of Sullivan chord diagrams which acts on the normalized Hochschild co-chains of a Frobenius algebra. These actions lift to operadic correlation functions on the co-cycles. In particular, the PROP action gives an action on the homology of a loop space of a compact simply connected manifold.
In this second part, we discretize the operadic and PROPic structures of the first part. We also introduce the notion of operadic correlation functions and use them in conjunction with operadic maps from the cell level to the discretized objects to define the relevant actions. | <urn:uuid:4ed41263-d800-433b-bd4b-2c4141c86d26> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ems.press/journals/jncg/articles/1207 | 2024-04-18T13:23:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.906001 | 183 |
I love this! The idea for this bed came from the mind of Gwen Waight, a fellow northeast Ohio artist. She selected and arranged the tiles, and her talented husband constructed the bed for their daughter, who lives out of state. It means a lot to me that my work has become part of their family's story.
It is always a treat when a fellow artist seeks out my work. Gwen specialized in assemblage and collage. She uses recycled and reclaimed objects that would otherwise be overlooked or discarded. Her art is part of the story of my family's life, as well, since Darrell and I have one of her delightful driftwood owls keeping watch over our living room from it's perch in the corner:
Thanks so much, Gwen! I hope your daughter has pleasant dreams. We sleep better knowing your owl is keeping an eye on things! | <urn:uuid:ee00274f-ed9d-4d6e-82d4-b19292c0daec> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://emutile.com/blogs/handmade-tile/a-tiled-bed | 2024-04-18T13:45:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.981158 | 180 |
Texas is asserting its sovereign immunity against Congress, telling Democrats on two congressional committees this week that the state has no obligation to comply with their investigative demands.
Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office says that as a state with sovereign powers under the Constitution, Texas can’t be treated like a federal agency or Cabinet secretary who can be compelled to comply.
“Texas does not draw its authority from the United States or the United States Constitution, but from its status as a dual sovereign within the union,” Jeffrey C. Mateer, first assistant attorney general, wrote in a letter Monday to the House Oversight and Reform Committee.
Mr. Mateer fired off a similar letter Wednesday to the House Ways and Means Committee rebuffing its attempts, saying the state wouldn’t stand to be treated like a “subdivision of the federal government or a private citizen.”
“Granting Congress the power to exercise ‘oversight’ over the constitutional officers of a state engaged in the lawful exercise of that state’s core authority would undermine the fabric of our system of dual sovereignty,” Mr. Mateer wrote. | <urn:uuid:20b07c10-014f-4920-946f-cfee0c9d58b9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en-volve.com/2019/05/17/go-texas-state-attorney-general-tells-congressional-democrats-to-shove-their-overreach-where-the-sun-dont-shine/ | 2024-04-18T13:34:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.954916 | 237 |

Ryokan-sama was a famous Buddhist monk who lived in the mountains of Niigata prefecture just outside the beach town of Teradomari. Gogo-an in the grounds of Kokujoji Temple is his little hillside dwelling.
Having read a short book of his life it was fascinating to see his hut and experience the long walk back down to the valley that he used to trek to beg for his food on a daily basis. He is revered for his simplicity and childlike nature, often spotted playing with local children. He was a renowned poet and calligrapher (with a fondness for sake) and his story often has him trying to avoid situations where local benefactors are trying to coerce works of art out of him. He was born into a rich family and renounced his birthright to live the life of a monk.
Gogo-an is just part of this large Buddhist temple complex which is the oldest in the prefecture. It is a great place for a wander around with plenty to explore. Gogo-an itself is down a flight of rough hewn stone steps set in the local forest.There are several different areas with temple buildings, statues, rest gardens and memorials, though the tranquility can occasionally be disturbed by the sound of the jet skis on the nearby beach.
There are tiers of small statues just outside one of the main halls with a table full of offerings that is a place to commit the souls of dead children and babies. It’s a pretty sobering sight. There is also an area where the bones of the dead are sprinkled at the base of the trees. Unclaimed bodies are also welcome to find their final resting place in the grounds of this temple.
On the way back to the Visitor Center is a statue to pray to in order to ensure you don’t lose your memory as you age. I scoffed at the need for this but was soon firmly put in my place when I neglected to put the pushchair in the car and almost backed over it. It seems the Japanese spirits work in mysterious ways too.

Known in Japanese as ‘Negishi Shinrin Koen’, this is one of the largest parks in Yokohama with a surface area covering over 1800 square meters. Originally built as a racing track in 1867, it was home to the first western style horse racing in Japan. However, after the Second World War it was redeveloped into a golf course by occupation forces. Its fortunes were changed once again in 1977 when it was officially opened by Yokohama city as Negishi Forest Park.

The most important consideration when choosing gloves is to note the barrier and virus protection they provide. This will minimise the chance of microorganisms being transferred to your hands.
- Logistics and warehouse service
- Uniformed services
- Education (schools, kindergartens, nurseries)
- Other sectors
In the medical industry, the raw material used to make the gloves is particularly important, as many procedures require instruments that can mechanically damage the material. There are several types of raw materials used to manufacture gloves: | <urn:uuid:4ba105ee-2498-4cb1-96ee-5584ecb17fa1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en.mercatormedical.eu/segments/new/other-sectors/ | 2024-04-18T14:10:01Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.922201 | 105 |
By Emadeddin Muntasser
As the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) organizes dialogue between the country’s warring factions, many Libyans are voicing concerns that this process is a replay of the past, failed attempts to form a unity government and stop the bloodshed.
Under the U.N.-sponsored Libyan Political Agreement of 2015, the country witnessed its most chaotic period, notable primarily for its bloodshed, corruption, duplication of institutions, illegal migration and war crimes.
Other observers worry that Libya remains without a ratified constitution and are calling for adopting one before forming a government or holding elections.
These observers neglect the fact that there is no valid ratification law in Libya. The most practical way forward for Libya is to hold parliamentary elections in an incremental and controlled manner.
Only such a democratically elected parliament could limit the destructive regional influence and pave the way for a constitutional referendum.
Insight into background
Let’s back up a little and gain some historical perspective. Libya has been without a constitution since 1969 when its late leader Moammar Gadhafi abolished the constitution that was based on a historic U.N. effort led by the late Dutch diplomat, Adrian Pelt.
Sixty leading Libyan elders came together to ratify a solid, even pioneering, constitution in 1951. However, by the early 1960s, the conflict between the U.S. oil companies, the central government and the three federal regions of Tripolitania, Fezzan, and Cyrenaica revealed its shortcomings.
In 1963, Libya amended the constitution by abolishing these regions. The constitution itself was abolished in 1969, following Gadhafi’s coup, and was essentially replaced by his “Green Book.”
After the 2011 revolution, members of the newly formed governing organization, the National Transitional Council (NTC), especially those who still considered themselves anti-monarchy Arab nationalists, pushed for a set of principles called the Constitutional Declaration.
This declaration and its amendments are still in effect today. In 2014, an elected committee of 60 people formed the Constitution Drafting Committee (CDC).
The committee was tasked with drafting a new constitution for Libya. It took the committee three years and tens of millions of dollars to produce a draft constitution.
The draft constitution, produced in 2017 after intense disagreements, was divisive and deficient. Representatives of Tubu and Berber minorities suspended their membership in the CDC, setting the stage for rejection of the constitution. The House of Representatives (HoR), based in eastern Libya, followed up in 2018 by enacting a ratification law that almost guarantees it will not be ratified.
The problems with the draft constitution begin with the body that drafted it, the CDC itself. Although 68% of the Libyan population is concentrated in western Libya, 25% in eastern Libya and only 7% reside in the southern region, the CDC was formed with an equal representation of 20 drafters from each region.
Residents of western Libya consequently feel slighted by this composition and claim that it deprives them of proper representation. Many of them as well as members of the Berber and Tubu minorities are determined to reject any referendum on this constitution.
The proposed constitution was drafted during a deeply divisive and conflictual period, and the draft codified this discord into law. It is very telling that even the simplest of patriotic tasks such as adopting the historical flag of Libya could not be agreed upon.
Consequently, the question of the flag was shelved for a later date. In addition to failing to address the flag and many other issues typically found in modern constitutions, the draft meddled deeply and inappropriately in judicial and economic matters.
In another misguided attempt to treat the three regions equally – what we might call disproportionate representation, the branches of government were broken up and scattered throughout the vast and disjointed country.
The draft required the executive offices to be located in Tripoli, the parliament 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) away in Benghazi, and the Supreme Court was to be tucked away in the deep south, almost 900 kilometers away from other centers of government.
Inevitably, each of these centers will open satellite offices and branches to compete for influence and government jobs. Libya, again, will end up with duplicated institutions, corruption and turf wars.
Some observers contend that these technical deficiencies of the constitution, even if severe, should be accepted now and if necessary changed later.
The truth of the matter, however, is that the process proposed by the Libyan HoR for ratifying this draft is both illegal and impractical.
In a clear violation of Libya’s current Constitutional Declaration, the ratification law divides Libya into three legal regions including west, east and south.
The law further pretends that these three regions are legal corporations, hence bestowing upon them the ability to veto the constitution.
The reality is that there are no such entities as Tripolitania, Fezzan, or Cyrenaica, in the Constitutional Declaration. There are no current borders, administrative offices, or officials associated with such regions.
The ratification law relies on historical definitions that have no basis in present-day Libya.
Opponents of the constitution will challenge these artificial borders in court in the unlikely event that the draft ever passes the impossible ratification law.
Even if the proposed constitution was balanced and practical, and the ratification law satisfied legal requirements, the HoR erected another major hurdle. The ratification law requires two levels of approval.
First, each of the three regions must approve the constitution with a simple majority. Second, a two-thirds nationwide majority must also approve. This is a recipe for disaster.
Moreover, the HoR adopted the ratification law without any consultation or agreement with the High Council of State, in violation of the law.
On Dec. 13, 2018, the HCS informed the Libya Elections Commission that it had rejected the ratification law and considered it in violation of the Constitutional Declaration.
It is, therefore, obvious that even if the constitution is ratified, it will immediately be beset by legal challenges, rendering any putative ratification toothless.
In a country as deeply divided as Libya, and which is so skeptical of the CDC and its draft proposal, it is difficult not to conclude that the HoR never wanted this constitution to pass, the HoR – or at least its constituent members – considers elections and a new constitution as a threat to its continued existence.
Libya now faces two obstacles to peace, security and democracy. First, the UNSMIL is again sponsoring talks among the same people who waged war and pillaged the country and tasking them to form another unity government.
History is repeating itself – and we are all familiar with the saying about tragedy and farce. As with the Government of National Accord (GNA) that the UNSMIL formed in 2015, any such unity government that forms inside the U.N.’s smoke-filled rooms will lack popular support, have no accountability and will be focused on extending the transitional period for many years to come.
The other obstacle is the twofold issue of the draft constitution and the ratification law. The UNSMIL path and the new constitution path will prove to be catastrophic and destabilizing.
So far we have discussed what will not work. How, then, to move forward? The answer is incremental elections. This type of electoral strategy starts in regions that are ready for the process and extends as permitted across the country.
If the strategy of the HoR is to preserve the stalemate by promoting an impossible constitution, then there is no alternative to holding elections, incremental elections to be specific, to create a new parliament.
Only such a parliament can elect a government and lay the groundwork for a constitution and for ratification. Under normal circumstances, a constitution would be ratified before elections, but in today’s Libya holding a referendum on the constitution will prove impractical and highly litigious.
The U.N. process has allowed the same spoilers and their international backers to control yet another transitional period with no guarantees for ending it.
There are no perfect solutions for Libya. There are trade-offs. With elections, Libya can move forward and bypass the familiar pitfalls that have plagued it to date and achieve the transparent kind of democracy it deserves.

Japan, a nation in East Asia, is an archipelago of 6,852 islands in the Pacific Ocean. It is a constitutional monarchy, with Tokyo as its capital. The economy of Japan is the third largest in the world after the United States and the People's Republic of China. Japan's currency is the yen (JPY).
CIT = Corporate Income Tax
SSC = Social Security Contribution (Employee + Employer)
The economy of Japan is a highly developed/advanced social market economy, often referred to as an East Asian model. It is the 4th-largest economy in the world by nominal GDP behind the United States, China, and Germany and the 4th-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP).
Japan is the world's second-largest automobile manufacturing country. It is often ranked among the world's most innovative countries, leading several measures of global patent filings. Facing increasing competition from China and South Korea, manufacturing in Japan currently focuses primarily on high-tech and precision goods, such as integrated circuits, hybrid vehicles, and robotics. Besides the Kantō region, the Kansai region is one of the leading industrial clusters and manufacturing centers for the Japanese economy. Japan is the world's largest creditor nation. Japan generally runs an annual trade surplus and has a considerable net international investment surplus. Japan has the third-largest financial assets in the world, valued at $12 trillion, or 8.6% of the global GDP total as of 2020. As of 2022, 47 of the Fortune Global 500 companies are based in Japan. The country is the third-largest in the world by total wealth.
Taxation of individuals
In Japan, permanent resident taxpayers are taxed on their worldwide income. Non-resident taxpayers are taxed only on their Japan-sourced income. Non-permanent resident taxpayers are taxed on their income other than foreign-source income (in particular, potentially, on certain capital gains) that are not remitted into Japan plus potentially part of their foreign-sourced income that is paid in or remitted to Japan.
The current national income tax rates are:
The tax liability is determined by multiplying the excess taxable income for each bracket by the percentage above and adding the cumulative tax figure.
A surtax took effect 1 January 2013. The surtax consists of a 2.1% tax that is assessed on an individual’s national income tax.
Local income taxes
Generally, in Japan, the local inhabitant’s tax is imposed at a flat rate of 10%. Japanese local governments (prefectural and municipal governments) levy local inhabitant’s tax on a taxpayer’s prior year income. This applies when the taxpayer is a resident of Japan as of January 1 of the current year. For local inhabitant’s tax purposes, an equalisation per capita tax is also assessed. The standard annual amount is JPY 5,000, although this may vary based on the prefecture and municipality in which the taxpayer resides. Local inhabitant’s tax is not deductible.
A non-resident taxpayer’s Japan-source compensation (employment income) is subject to a flat 20.42% national income tax on gross compensation with no deductions available. This rate includes 2.1% of the surtax described above (20% × 102.1% = 20.42%). A non-resident taxpayer may be subject to the local inhabitant’s tax at a rate of 10% if they are registered as a resident on the local municipality ledger as of 1 January of the following year.
An employee whose salary or bonus, including fringe benefits, is paid in Japan by a local employer (including a Japanese branch of a foreign corporation) is generally liable to pay a share of social insurance premiums. The employee’s share consists of the following contributions:
Taxation of legal persons
A domestic corporation in Japan is taxed on its worldwide income, including foreign branch income. However, 95% of dividends received by a domestic corporation from a foreign company in which it has held at least 25% (or lower, depending on the relevant tax treaty) of the outstanding shares of that foreign company for a continuous period of six months or more can be excluded from the company’s taxable income.
National local corporate tax
National local corporate tax for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 April 2023 is a fixed rate of 10.3% of the corporate tax liability.
Enterprise tax (and special corporate business tax)
Enterprise tax is calculated in different ways depending on the capital base of the taxpayer. For small and medium sized enterprises, enterprise tax is calculated based on the taxpayer’s income only. However, for large enterprises, the calculation will also refer to the taxpayer’s capital base and its 'value added base' (which will include items such as personnel costs and rent). Therefore, loss-making large enterprises may still be liable to pay enterprise tax.
The standard enterprise rates for fiscal years beginning on or after 1 April 2023 are shown in the table below. Rates for Tokyo, which applies a higher-than-standard rate are shown in parentheses. Note that special enterprise tax rates are applicable to corporations engaged in energy or gas supply and in insurance, which are not provided here.
Special corporate business tax is a national tax but is collected through the enterprise tax return.
Effective statutory tax rate
The total corporate income tax burden (i.e. effective tax rate) varies depending upon the size of a company’s paid-in capital. Since enterprise tax is deductible, the effective tax rate is less than the total of the statutory rates of national and local corporate tax, enterprise tax, and inhabitants’ tax.
The following is the summary of the effective statutory tax rates in the case of corporations operating in Tokyo (without consideration of value-based and capital-based enterprise tax):
Value Added Tax - VAT - Consumption Tax
Japan’s consumption tax (value-added tax or VAT) is levied when a business enterprise transfers goods, provides services, or imports goods into Japan. The general rate is 10%; however, a lower rate of 8% applies to food and beverages (excluding when purchased in restaurants and alcoholic beverages) and to newspaper subscriptions that meet certain criteria. Exports and certain services to non-residents are taxed at a zero rate. Specified transactions, such as sales or lease of land, sales of securities, and provision of public services, are not subject to taxation.
Consumption tax paid by a corporation that is attributable to taxable revenue shall be creditable/refundable by filing a consumption tax return to the extent that such transaction is recorded in the accounting books and relevant invoices are kept.
A new Qualified Invoice System (QIS) was introduced as part of Japan’s 2016 Tax Reform, which will be effective from 1 October 2023. Under the QIS, a consumption taxpayer (a ‘taxpayer’ who files consumption tax returns and pays or receives a refund of consumption tax) can in principle only take an input tax credit if such taxpayer receives a ‘qualified invoice’ from a seller that is registered as both (i) a consumption taxpayer and (ii) a qualified issuer (QII). Effectively, the new system will require sellers to include their QII number in invoices so that the purchaser receiving such invoice will be able to take the input credit for the consumption tax included in the invoice. The requirement is similar to that of a seller to include its VAT number on an invoice in the European context.
Businesses (other than exempt entities) will need to have filed an application with their tax office to become a QII no later than 30 September 2023 in order to be able to issue qualified invoices from 1 October 2023.
Note that consumption tax is also imposed on the cross-border provision of digital services (e.g. e-books, music, and advertising) by foreign service providers. In this respect, a reverse-charge mechanism is applicable for business-to-business (B2B) transactions, and foreign service providers may need to register for consumption tax purposes with regard to business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions.

6 sheet pan dinners that’ll save you time and dishes
Sheet Pan Recipes should have been on your resolution list!
Why we love it: Sheet pan recipes are the greatest thing since sliced bread! A medley of flavors with minimal dishes. If you are looking to save time on dinner, and to lighten you dish load, here are 6 sheet pan recipes that you need to try!
Recently I’m obsessed with the green pitted olives from a can. The brand is Lindsay Naturals, “ripe pitted green olives.” The taste is reminiscent of the brighter green Castelvetrano but they’re easier to find already pitted, and much less expensive. This is what I used for recipe testing but any pitted olive will do here (even kalamata or black olives will work!)
Honey mustard can have a childish connotation but don’t sleep on this sauce! It’s so delicious, comes together in seconds, and pairs perfectly with both the pork tenderloin and the veggies on the side. This recipe is a great example of Sheet pan versatility, typically sheet pan recipe only contains mixed vegetables but this recipe can be used for salads later in the week or on a turkey sandwich for lunch too.
I find myself constantly returning to sheet pan dinners! This recipe calls for the chicken to have the backbone removed (spatchcocked). If you have a butcher they’ll do this for you; or if you’re up for it, search instructions on YouTube. Or, if you have time, just roast a whole chicken, same process, just takes a little longer. If none of those are good options, just buy chicken parts – leg, thighs, and skin-on breasts.
This Pork Teriyaki Sheet Pan Meatballs is a must!
Meatballs may require rolling, but baking them all at once on a sheet pan keeps this an easy weeknight meal. The rich, sticky teriyaki sauce is simple to make from scratch and will surely become a family favorite.
A spin on a classic Sheet Pan Pizza with Brussels + Salami
Sheet pan pizza takes a little longer than receiving delivery would at my house but the pay off is so much better! Good quality pizza dough is readily available at most grocery stores and it freezes well, so if you have one on hand you can make this with whatever is in your fridge. Do try to defrost the dough if frozen for at least 24 hours though – you can’t rush that part. I serve it with nothing else. Why bother? Of course a salad or some carrot sticks round out the meal if needed.
American-Italian staple, breaded chicken parm is a comfort food that tops our list – but pan frying in lots of oil is messy, time consuming, and sometimes too heavy. Our crispy sheet pan method ticks all of the boxes. Be sure to favorite this one, we’re sure you’ll be coming back for more! | <urn:uuid:9a20cf2d-891a-49d2-9629-84d9e5294010> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://endsandstems.com/6-sheet-pan-dinners-thatll-save-you-time-and-dishes/ | 2024-04-18T14:37:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.915559 | 619 |
We're glad you're interested in how the interviewing process looks like at Silverfin! Each step of the process is described below so you can have a good idea about what awaits.
One part that not a lot of companies talk about is how you feel about working with us. We think it's at least as important as the other way around, so feel free to ask as many questions as you like about that until you're sufficiently confident that we would be a good fit for you. We could even set up a separate meeting if necessary, no problem at all.
If at any point you decide we might not be a good fit for you after all, don't worry about calling things off prematurely. We totally understand.
During any stage, if you have questions, don't hesitate to send us a mail! We'll try our best to answer it as quickly as possible: [email protected].
You can find our latest engineering jobs on the Silverfin career page.
Stage 1: Application Screening (30 min.)
First your application is screened by HR and our Engineering Director. At this stage we check some basics such as what timezone you're in and what your answers were to the application form questions. This will take at most a few days. Either way you'll receive feedback and if positive you'll get an invitation for a first 30 min. interview with Youp, Talent Partner. He will give you a first introduction to Silverfin and have a talk about your experience and interests.
Since we're remote-first, this interview is done online. Please have a good webcam at the ready, a working microphone, and be in a silent location with a good internet connection so we can have a problem-free videocall. Our video-conferencing tool of choice is Zoom, so make sure to have it installed and ready beforehand so we can start on time.
Stage 2: Interview #1 (1 hour)
If everything checked out in Stage 1, we'll invite you to a next interview. This interview is with a Senior Silverfin Engineer, and will last at most 1 hour. We start with introducing each other and we'll ask a bit about your background. We will ask a few technical questions, and also ask you to do a short live-coding exercise. Not to worry, we'll help guide you through it! At the end there will be some time for questions from you as well.
For the coding exercise, you will be able to use whatever tools you prefer. This includes your preferred IDE, terminal and browser. You can also do any google searches or Stackoverflow queries that you'd like. We're all engineers, we know how it is! Even the best of us need to Google what the syntax for a case/select was again, every once in a while.
We'll ask you to share your full screen when you're doing the exercise, so we can follow along with what you're googling and see how you approach solving the problem at hand. We suggest you prepare your desktop and environment for this in advance of the call, and turn on DnD mode, to respect your privacy.
After the interview, the interviewing engineer might discuss the call with another recruiting engineer, and make a decision about whether they think you're a good fit for us or not. This again should only take a few days. You will always hear back from us no matter what the outcome.
Stage 3: Interview #2 (1.5 hours)
If interview #1 went well, you'll be invited to have a second interview. This will be a chat with Raphael, Engineering Director, and will take a bit longer - 1.5 to 2 hours. The setup is the same - a Zoom call, but you won't have to share your screen at any point.
During this interview we'll go deeper into certain aspects. We might ask more advanced technical questions, or followup on certain areas of interest identified during the first interview. We will also ask about your soft skills. Since code review is a big part of our day jobs, we will ask you to do a code review of a piece of code we will supply. At the end as usual there will be some time for questions you may have.
Stage 4: Final Interview (1 hour)
Lastly there will be a final interview with David, Silverfin's VP Technology. This interview will be around 1 hour. Partly this will be about getting to know you, learn about your interests and who you are. It will also be a final confirmation of your technical knowledge. He will ask you to bring a piece of code that you can talk about and walk him through, while he'll ask you questions about it.
Stage 5: Final Decision
After the final interview with David, we would like to have a last reference check with two of your previous colleagues or managers. You decide yourself who we can contact, so please provide us with their contact details by then.
If after all this you feel like Silverfin would be a good fit, and we agree, then we can welcome you to the team. We have a full onboarding process worked out to get you up to speed in your new team as soon as possible. | <urn:uuid:65e85575-780e-4ee3-9c9e-675a42205e54> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://engineering.silverfin.com/engineering-interview-process/ | 2024-04-18T14:24:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.967308 | 1,071 |
Rwanda's justice minister on Saturday hailed the sentencing by a French court of a former Rwandan army captain to 25 years in prison over the 1994 genocide as a "milestone".
In the first trial of its kind in France Pascal Simbikangwa, a 54-year-old former member of the Rwandan presidential guard, was found guilty of perpetrating genocide and of complicity in crimes against humanity.
Rwanda has long accused France of being reluctant to either extradite or prosecute Rwandans accused of having taken part in the 1994 genocide, in which an estimated 800,000 people, essentially Tutsis, were killed.
"The Simbikangwa judgement is a milestone for justice for perpetrators of the 1994 genocide," Justice Minister Johnston Busingye told AFP.
"More particularly it is a redeemer of the French legal and judicial system which had become synonymous with shielding genocide suspects from justice," he said, noting that there are a "few dozen indictments" sitting in the French justice system.
"Whether this trial was symbolic will be tested in the weeks and months ahead by what happens to those files," Busingye said.
The court ruling comes just weeks ahead of the 20th anniversary of the genocide. | <urn:uuid:a55f6c56-463d-4571-bdf5-4c07ef2ec7fb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/8/96708/World/Region/French-court-genocide-sentence-is-milestone-Rwanda.aspx | 2024-04-18T14:35:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.979845 | 254 |
Books and interest in literature
To find out just how interested Czechs are in books, I visited one of the biggest and most recently opened bookshops in Prague, where I talked to its owner Jan Kanzelsberger. The store is the latest addition to the Kanzelsberger chain of bookshops and its owner told me they were doing quite well. There are, of course, exceptions. Even while Mr. Kanzelsberger was showing me around the bookshop, two girls came in to ask when the third Harry Potter book would be on the market. The latest translation will be available in a month or two, they were told. Now, foreign language books are available in a special department of the bookshop, quite a huge department. | <urn:uuid:1616c357-e346-4a34-87d4-bdd96b9de878> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://english.radio.cz/books-and-interest-literature-8046259 | 2024-04-18T13:16:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.981993 | 153 |
Tianjin University volunteers teach for a week in Tibet
By Yang Cheng in TianjinSource:China Daily2023-07-26
"Teachers from Tianjin University taught us about electricity, space exploration and photography. (They were) enlightening lessons... Among them all, I enjoyed the photography class they gave us the most," said Karma Dechen, a fourth-year student at the No 1 Primary School in Samdrubze district, Shigatse, Tibet autonomous region.
She was talking about a class given by seven students and two teachers from Tianjin University's School of Electrical and Information Engineering. The volunteer group taught support classes at multiple primary and secondary schools in the district for a week early this month.
They included classes about cultural exchange between the Han and Tibetan ethnic groups, reading, handicrafts, and art.
The group included one teacher, Chen Xiaolong, a professor at the school, who had won first prize in the National College Young Teachers Teaching Competition. Chen delivered a lecture titled "Three Questions about Electrical Energy" to students at the No 1 primary school.
He explained batteries, power plants, and electrical systems, giving the students a clear understanding of where the electricity that powers their homes comes from. "I hoped to raise their awareness of electricity from a safety perspective," Chen said. | <urn:uuid:cb4237e1-caa5-46ea-a7e7-e39c39509eb4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://english.xzxw.com/xwzx/2023-07/26/content_903521.html | 2024-04-18T13:22:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817206.54/warc/CC-MAIN-20240418124808-20240418154808-00567.warc.gz | en | 0.966564 | 272 |

The Benefit Resources, Inc. (BRI) Board of Directors report to the 43rd General Assembly of its work during 2022-2023, plus recommendations for consideration by the Assembly.
Use these quicklinks to navigate to a specific section of this report:
RE, Presbytery of the Great Plains
SUMMARY OF WORK
1. Health and Wellness: Our members and their churches experienced an average 6.5% premium rate increase for 2023. Since 2020, premiums have increased by an average of just of just 4.5%. This is well below the 8.0% rate of general medical cost inflation during that period.
2. Retirement: Participation in our plan, which is open to all clergy and non-clergy staff, has grown by 323 members since 2019.
3. General Operations and Administration: Advice and counsel are provided through membership in the Church Benefit Association, Church Alliance, and use of legal counsel, actuary, and consultants specializing in Retirement Plan and Benefits Administration.
4. Participation Overview: Benefit plan enrollments have been fairly stable for the last 5 years with our Health and Life benefit plans, with steady participation growth showing in the Dental Plan and Retirement Plan participation.
5. Medical/Prescription Drug Benefits: We understand that member EPC churches and staff have varying needs when it comes to medical coverage. That’s why we offer 5 plans: Platinum, Gold, Silver POS Plans, plus Gold and Bronze High Deductible Health Plans with Health Savings Plan options. These plans offer a wide spectrum of premium and participant cost-sharing levels.
6. Member Health/Wellness and Member Care Focus: BRI has implemented the Livongo Whole Person Health program to coach and provide practical resources to those with diabetes, pre-diabetes, and high blood pressure. BRI has also added a Nurse Health Coaching program to provide education and support to participants with other conditions such as chronic pain, arthritis, high cholesterol, asthma, and various lung, heart, and kidney diseases. These programs are available at no cost to EPC Plan participants. The EPC Benefits website contains a wealth of information on these programs.
7. EPC Retirement Plan: Collectively, our members held more than $177 million in their retirement accounts, or an average balance of about $72,000 per participant (as of December 2022). Nearly half of the value of members’ accounts is invested in Retirement Target Date (Life Cycle) funds. These funds automatically and gradually reduce members’ exposure to investment risks as they approach retirement.
43-12 That ordained ministers drawing retirement income from the EPC 403(b)(9) Defined Contribution Retirement Plan be allowed to designate up to 100% of their retirement income for housing allowance as permitted by applicable regulations adopted pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.
WORK OF THE COMMITTEE
EPC BRI’s vision is to improve the physical and financial well-being of pastors, their families, and eligible lay employees in Christian ministry that they may be better equipped to fulfill their callings. Our mission encourages plan participants to improve their health, wellness, and retirement security.
To fulfill our mission, we provide a complete suite of benefits that meet participants’ needs at a competitive cost that are portable, convenient, and consistent with EPC values and EPC BRI fiduciary responsibilities. Our goal is to accomplish this mission by providing competitive benefit plans, maintaining plan and price stability, encouraging use of wellness programs, and by achieving above-benchmark-performing retirement plan returns with flexible distributions options. And to do this through a structure of efficient and cost-effective premiums and expenses. We also seek to create high member support, participation, and satisfaction.
In pursuing the mission of EPC Benefit Resources, Inc., we humbly submit the following report of the plans, activities, and results for the last year:
HEALTH AND WELLNESS
• Our members and their churches experienced an average 6.5% premium rate increase for 2023. Since 2020, premiums have increased by an average of just of just 4.5%. This is well below the 8.0% rate of general medical cost inflation during that period.
• The wellness profile of EPC members reveals health status concerns that impact the joy of life and risk of future medical claim cost. We have implemented and have members participating in programs to help them address these conditions.
• We must note that some EPC churches still do not participate in the medical plan. As described further in this report, our EPC medical plan provides excellent coverage through a top-tier nationwide network of quality hospitals and providers. As a self-insured plan, the premiums our churches and members pay are used exclusively to provide medical care for our members, and the plans offered reflect our values as Christians. In effect, EPC member congregations are a sharing network for each other’s medical costs. We strongly encourage all churches to consider participating to support one another in ministry.
• Our Plan is a 403(b)(9) Defined Contribution church plan, and ordained pastors retain the ability to claim up to 100% of their annual retirement withdrawals as income tax free Housing Allowance, even into retirement.
• Participation in our plan, which is open to all clergy and non-clergy staff, has grown by 323 members since 2019.
• Globally, investment markets were faced with significant challenges in 2022. In a year in which the Standard and Poor’s 500 Index (S&P 500) declined 18.1%, the Russell 2000 declined 20.4%, and even the index of US Treasury Bonds declined 12.9%, it was not surprising to see the overall return of our members was down 17.2%. In fact, only one other time in history have fixed income and equity markets both declined over a 12-month period. We were pleased that we did not see investor panic among our members. Only 10% of member accounts made fund exchanges during the year, indicating that members of the plan take a long-term perspective to their retirement funds. And they have been rewarded for staying invested, as the S&P 500 index has risen 6.9% through April 25, 2023.
• Many members took advantage of free consultation with Fidelity representatives, the educational webinars, and other financial planning tools offered through BRI and available on their personal account log-in on Fidelity’s NetBenefits webpage.
GENERAL OPERATIONS AND ADMINISTRATION
• EPC Benefit Resources, Inc., financial statements are audited annually by independent accounting firm Batts, Morrison, Wales, and Lee, Certified Public Accountants. The audited statements are presented to the BRI Board of Directors and the Office of General Assembly.
• Advice and counsel are provided through membership in the Church Benefit Association, Church Alliance, and use of legal counsel, actuary, and consultants specializing in Retirement Plan and Benefits Administration.
• The BRI Office and Office of the Stated Clerk often receive inquiries regarding the requirements for participation in EPC Benefit Plans as mandated by the Acts of Assembly. The Acts clearly express the intent that benefits-eligible EPC pastors and staff should be provided with medical coverage through the denominational medical plan. Although there are many Acts that reference EPC medical and retirement programs, key Acts include 81-04, which mandates participation of EPC ministers, and 84-08, which mandates benefit-eligible ministers’ and employees’ participation in the denominational plan.
Just over 3,000 participants are enrolled in the EPC Medical Plan, including 1,098 clergy and staff and nearly 2,000 dependents. A total of 2,438 active clergy, staff, and retirees were enrolled in the EPC Retirement Plan at the end of 2022. The chart below reflects employee enrollments (without dependents), which have been fairly stable for the last 5 years with our Health and Life benefit plans and steady participation growth in the Dental Plan and the Retirement Plan.
All full-time clergy and staff at EPC churches and EPC-associated ministries are eligible to participate in the benefit plans sponsored by BRI. Higher participation advantages all members and their sponsoring churches. If your church has not taken advantage of these important benefit offerings for your clergy and staff, or if you would simply like to explore the benefits offerings and costs, we welcome your inquiry to our Executive Director at 407-930-4507 or [email protected].
MEDICAL/PRESCRIPTION DRUG BENEFITS
The EPC Medical Plan is our plan, not a plan we adopted from an insurance company. What’s covered under the plan is controlled by the EPC, and importantly, services and medications that run counter to our beliefs are not covered.
Five new churches joined the plan with 2023 enrollment.
We understand that member EPC churches and staff have varying needs when it comes to medical coverage, that’s why we offer 5 plans: Platinum, Gold, Silver POS Plans, plus Gold and Bronze High-Deductible Health Plans with Health Savings Plan options. These plans offer a wide spectrum of premium and participant cost-sharing levels.
Premiums increased an average of 6.5% in 2023, with no changes in co-pays or deductibles. Our Medical Plan has a very solid financial foundation, assuring us that our members’ medical expenses will be covered. The EPC maintains stop-loss insurance and a $6.9 million medical reserve fund (as of March 31, 2023) as protection against catastrophic claims.
Twenty individuals covered by our plan incurred more than $100,000 each in medical costs during 2022. A health crisis can arise for any of us at any time. A crucial role of the EPC BRI plan is to stand in the gap so that the health crisis does not also become a financial crisis. Thank God the resources of our plan—made possible by the members and churches who participate in our plan—were there for these families.
In 2022, COVID was again a factor in our claims cost. The plan experienced claims of $1.4 million (about 9% of all claims) related to COVID testing and treatment.
The virtual care option under the EPC plan is provided by 98point6. We’re pleased to note an increased use of this convenient and effective alternative to a doctor’s office visit. During 2022 there were 668 virtual “office” visits, and the median wait time was only 16 minutes. Your fellow EPC members who used the service gave it a 4.8 out of 5 rating. For more information, see the EPC Benefits website at www.epc.org/benefits.
We contract with Meritain Health for administrative services for the medical plans. On calls from EPC members, Meritain’s average speed of answer has been 28 seconds. Further, our members report that their reason for calling is resolved on the first call 99.6% of the time. Members who have questions or experience difficulties can call Meritain at 800-925-2272. If members do not believe Meritain has adequately addressed their issue, they can call the BRI office at 407-930-4492 and BRI staff will assist them. The medical plan uses the Aetna Choice POS II national provider network.
WELLNESS AND MEMBER CARE FOCUS
The health of EPC members is of critical importance to the BRI Board of Directors and the Office of General Assembly. The overall health of membership directly impacts the cost of healthcare covered by the plan, but much more importantly, the health of our members directly impacts the work of caring for and leading EPC congregations in sharing the gospel!
From viewing de-identified claim data from our EPC membership, we learn the following:
• Most (but not all) of us are getting our annual physical, bloodwork, or other age/gender appropriate health screenings. In fact, this last year about 1 in 7 of us did not see our doctor for even the most basic preventative care.
• Mental health continues to be a growing area of concern. 24% of our membership are either receiving some treatment for stress, anxiety, depression, or behavioral health-related condition. If there is good news in this, it is that our members appear to be more willing to seek help with these conditions than people in the general public. However, statisticians would tell us that there are probably more untreated conditions among our membership.
• High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes continue to be conditions that show up in our EPC plan membership at a higher rate than in the general public. If you have one or more of these conditions, it is imperative that you follow-up with your treatments and screenings.
In response to this, BRI has implemented the Livongo Whole Person Health program to coach and provide practical resources to those with diabetes, pre-diabetes, and high blood pressure. BRI has also added a Nurse Health Coaching program to provide education and support to participants with other conditions such as chronic pain, arthritis, high cholesterol, asthma, and various lung, heart, and kidney diseases. These programs are available at no cost to EPC Plan participants. The EPC Benefits website contains a wealth of information on these programs; see www.epc.org/benefits/2023medical. Or log into your Meritain Health account.
• A large portion of healthcare in America is spent at infusion centers, testing labs, imaging centers, and physical therapy offices that are part of a hospital system. Patients often don’t realize that they have a choice of non-hospital facilities to use for these same procedures that offer equivalent quality of service at lower cost and more convenient locations. We encourage you to ask a question or two before you make the choice to spend your money—and the health plan’s money—at the only referral offered. To make it easier for our members to explore facility alternatives, we have introduced Healthcare Bluebook through Meritain Health. These services can direct you to highly ranked facilities in your area for specific medical procedures when that unexpected diagnosis arises. In many cases, Healthcare Bluebook offers a cash incentive to our members who select one of their recommended highly performing centers of excellence for a variety of medical procedures and surgeries. Use the EPC Benefits website or your Meritain account to access Bluebook.
Please, make it a personal goal to take advantage of these important benefits. In order to make sure you do not miss important health management calls from Meritain, we encourage everyone to add Meritain’s main number to their address book: 888-610-0089.
LIFE, VISION, AND DENTAL INSURANCES
Participation in these supplementary benefits has increased steadily over the last several years, with enrollment increases of 5.2% for Life/Disability Insurance, 6.5% in Vision; and 5.0% in Dental in 2023. With inflationary pressures lurking, BRI was able to negotiate a rate increase of 8% for our Dental benefit—locking the rates for 2 years through the end of 2024. The Life/Disability Insurance saw its first rate increase in more than 5 years of 5%. These rates are also fixed now through 2024. The vision insurance rates were unchanged and are also fixed through the end of 2024.
Act of Assembly 81-05 established that Terms of Call for any EPC minister shall provide for life and disability coverages. Over the years as EPC Benefit Resources has made these coverages available to EPC ministers, many have been supported through life insurance proceeds in times of personal loss and through disability payments when an unexpected accident or illness leads to disability. All of these coverages are made available to ministers and staff working 30 or more hours per week.
As of December 31, 2022, there were 2,438 participants in our defined contribution Retirement Plan. Collectively, our members held over $177 million in their retirement accounts, or an average balance of about $72,000 per participant (as of December 2022). Nearly half of the value of members’ accounts is invested in Retirement Target Date (Life Cycle) funds. These funds automatically and gradually reduce members’ exposure to investment risks as they approach retirement. The increasing use of these funds is a positive trend. In addition to the 12 target date funds, members have the opportunity to invest in a selection of 11 top-rated funds in various asset classes. Another option is investment through the Plan’s self-directed brokerage link, where participants may invest in any publicly traded security—adding hundreds more choices. Participants also have the opportunity to “roll over” funds from their personal IRAs or former employer-based 401(k) or 403(b) plan into their EPC Plan account. Employees and Benefit Administrators can check the EPC website at www.epc.org/benefits/2023retirement or call the EPC Benefits Office for information.
The Investment Committee of BRI meets quarterly with our Retirement Plan consultant to evaluate the performance, expenses, and risk profile of each of the investment options offered under the EPC 403(b)(9) Plan. We feel confident that the funds selected provide the best choices on all three counts. Of the 11 asset class funds available, 7 have exceeded their marketplace benchmark over both 3 and 5 years. Notably, our Investment Committee has placed the T. Rowe Price Growth Fund on a watch list for poor performance. Across the Target Date Funds, there has been a slight underachievement of the Fidelity Funds over a 3-year period, but those funds have a slight edge over their marketplace benchmarks over 5 years. Of our 23 available funds, 22 had lower management expense fees than their marketplace counterparts.
Federal regulators occasionally enact legislative changes that can impact plan administration, distribution rules, etc. The BRI office works closely with its Plan Consultant, the Church Benefit Association, and legal counsel to make sure its plan documents are up-to-date and reflect current legislation. The U.S. Congress passed legislation in 2022 known as the “Secure Act 2.0.” Most significantly, we understand that this legislation encourages plans such as ours to open up new distribution options for those in retirement to more effectively manage their income streams from the plan. The impact of this change on our plan is under review, so watch for announcements from the BRI office.
Because the EPC Retirement Plan is a 403(b)(9) plan, ordained pastors retain the ability to use up to 100% of their annual retirement withdrawals (not to exceed the amount allowable by the IRS) to pay housing expenses exempt from federal income taxes. This continues even into retirement provided the funds were contributed during the pastor’s tenure as minister and have remained in the EPC Plan. This proves to be a significant advantage for EPC pastors over other retirement plans available in the market without this designation.
We continue to partner with Fidelity Investments to administer and advise members on their retirement plan choices. All EPC plan participants are entitled to receive a free review of their investment choices, portfolio performance, and progress toward retirement goals at any time with an Investment Adviser by calling Fidelity at 800-342-0860 to make an appointment. We suggest each of our members do this at least annually. For an additional fee, members can also utilize Fidelity’s Personalized Planning and Advice (PPA) service which offers personalized planning, tracking, and recurring update services with consideration toward all of your financial goals and resources.
There appears to still be about 15% of EPC churches that do not have any pastor or staff participating in our 403(b)(9) Plan. That may be because they feel they have their employee’s retirement funding taken care of in some other way. Or it may be because the employees and Pastor are just part time. Or they simply feel they cannot afford it. We encourage the leadership of those churches to re-consider.
• For a Pastor to take advantage of the housing allowance benefit in retirement, the plan must be a 403(b)(9) Plan, like the EPC’s Plan. It cannot be simply a 403(b) plan.
• Part-time employees are eligible to participate in the EPC Plan, and it is a good tax-advantaged way for them to save for their retirement.
• The future financial cost of a pastor or staff member’s retirement years is a real cost that should be provided for while they are working. We believe that a church that is not considering this cost now and not helping the pastor/employee set aside retirement funds now is being shortsighted. Our Plan offers 23 carefully selected investment options, and a brokerage link that adds a virtually unlimited array of additional investment choices. In addition, investment guidance from licensed financial advisers is available at no cost to the participant.
The EPC Benefit plans are in a solid position to provide care and support for our members. Our plans are designed to be a partnership with our churches and members, so we encourage you to take these steps over the next year to ensure our joint success in your heath, wellness, and retirement security:
• If your church does not participate in the EPC Benefit Plans, put that option in front of your leadership by contacting the EPC Benefits office. We are stronger together.
• Make it a personal goal for you, your family, and your staff to get your annual medical checkup (including bloodwork). Follow up with your physician to complete all the recommended health screenings (mammogram, colonoscopy, lung screenings, etc.).
• Add Meritain’s Nurse Coaching phone number (888-610-0089) to your phone’s address book so that you don’t miss any messages regarding their recommendations for your healthcare.
• Make full use of the free Wellness, Member Care, and Disease Management resources and programs available to you as a participant in the EPC Medical Plan. Keep an eye out for BRI newsletters and Meritain Health outreaches. If you do not receive these newsletters, sign up at www.epc.org/benefits.
• Set a goal to put 15% of your income away for your retirement. This can be through a combination of church contributions (10% for Pastors required by Acts of the Assembly 81-05) and personal payroll-deducted contributions.
• Consider participating in Fidelity’s Personal Planning and Advice fee service. Or at a minimum, contact Fidelity for a review of your 403(b)(9) account fund selections.
• Review the beneficiary designations for your life insurance and your retirement account.
It is a privilege to serve on the BRI Board of Benefits because the health and retirement plans we oversee are for the benefit of those who serve Christ in the EPC. I want to thank my fellow Board members for their dedicated service.
That ordained ministers drawing retirement income from the EPC 403(b)(9) Defined Contribution Retirement Plan be allowed to designate up to 100% of their retirement income for housing allowance as permitted by applicable regulations adopted pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code.
Rationale: To do so permits retired, ordained ministers to take advantage of this significant tax benefit in retirement, thereby making more of their retirement income available for living expenses. Adopting this recommendation on an annual basis provides retired ministers with a readily available reference if asked by tax authorities.

A method for the determination and correction of the effect of thermal degradation on the viscoelastic properties of degradable polymersTools Choong, Gabriel Y. H. and De Focatiis, Davide S.A.

AbstractSmall amplitude oscillatory shear is carried out during isothermal degradation of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) in order to determine the evolution of the characteristic relaxation time with degradation time and temperature. After reducing the relaxation time data to a single mastercurve, a 4-parameter function is fitted to the data to allow prediction of the change in relaxation time following an arbitrary thermal history. The method enables separation of the effects of temperature and of degradation on the relaxation time, both of which lead to a horizontal shift of dynamic data along the frequency axis, and hence enable a correction for thermal degradation during rheometry to be carried out. To validate the method, two isothermal frequency sweeps were measured with different temperature histories, producing different mastercurves due to dissimilar in-test thermal degradation. After correcting for thermal degradation using the function and the thermal histories, the two frequency sweeps reduce to the same viscoelastic mastercurve in the undegraded pre-test state.
