Genetically modified (GM) pigs have been approved for food and medical use in the U.S., drawing mixed reactions. The pigs are the second GM animal approved for food after GM salmon in 2015.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) this week approved GM pigs, which are engineered to eliminate alpha-gal, a sugar found in pigs that can cause an allergic reaction.
The FDA said this was the first time it had approved a GM animal for human food and medical use.
The FDA said it had confirmed that the food from the GM pigs, known as GalSafe pigs, was “safe for the general public to eat”, and suggested that the meat could be sold by mail order.
A spokesman for United Therapeutics Corp., a GM pig developer, was more cautious. In an email to the Guardian, the company’s head of investment relations said they had no plans to sell meat directly. The quicker goal, he said, was to target alpha-gal whole-organ transplants for patients with alpha-gal syndrome.
“We’re looking at the possibility of partnering with meat producers, but we have no plans to sell any meat ourselves,” said Dewey Steadman, adding that “the size of the GalSafe herd is limited to one a farm and 1,000 heads along with one abattoir ”, showing that large circulation was no longer possible.
Steadman said the current gene modification is “just one of 10 preparations we are currently using in pigs for our preclinical xenotransplantation [transplants to humans from nonhuman sources] a development program that we hope will one day help address the acute shortage of removable organs for people in need. ”
Walter Sánchez-Suárez, the veterinary scientist, and animal behavior and welfare expert, was less strong. “Unfortunately, this is another example of the systematic exploitation of inhuman people in the US,” he said.
Suarez, who works with US NGO Mercy for Animals, described genetic modification as a “complex device with great potential [but] also one that raises big ethical and practical questions ”. That tool, he said, would now “be used only to support the financial interests of animal production corporations”.
Consumers who are interested in alpha-gal-free meat can include those with alpha-gal syndrome, which is believed to be caused by tick bites. Eating normal red meat, which also contains alpha-gal, can cause an allergic reaction, going deeper from beeswax to respiratory difficulty.
The U.S. Food Safety Center, a nonprofit organization, noted that the meat from the genetically modified pigs has not yet been tested on people with the allergies. Steadman confirmed that was the case.
Jaydee Hanson, policy director at the center, said he was not aware that any tests would be done on the pigs as a food source or transplant. “We are meeting next week with our legal staff to decide whether they should take legal action to the FDA over the GM pig license,” Hanson said. “My biggest concern is that we don’t know if this is safe to eat, or as a source of organ transplants, and scientists, or the general public, haven’t seen the data. And there was no FDA public consultation process, as usual. ”
A spokesman for the European Food and Safety Administration (EFSA) said that, to date, GM animals, or foods derived from GM animals, have not been approved for placing on the market in the EU, and no claims have been filed. do business with an agreement ”.
A subsidiary of United Therapeutics, Revivicor, is another UK company, PPL Therapeutics, which produced the first cloned sheep, Dolly, in 1996.

This article originally appeared in the July 2011 issue of infoTECH Spotlight.
The rivalry between HP and Oracle is definitely heating up and the endgame probably isn’t good for HP. For more than a decade, an acquisition spree at Oracle has allowed it to become a software behemoth depended on by IT departments worldwide. And as the company rolled up industry after industry (CRM in particular) they were able to get regulators to buy-in because Oracle was one of the software companies acting as a counterbalance to Microsoft (News - Alert). And Oracle – unlike most of the tech companies I come across – knows how to acquire and integrate, and do it well. They are so successful they now supply to 100 out of the Fortune Global 100 and have more than 345,000 customers.
But now with so much software concentrated in a single company, Oracle has incredible power. They have the ability to raise prices on maintenance contracts and customers have limited options. This brings to mind an article from Bob Evans in InformationWeek last year talking about how at the time Oracle’s maintenance business had an operating margin of 92 percent on more than $3 billion in a quarter.
But most important, they have the power to really hurt their enemies.
And if you haven’t noticed, one of Oracle’s biggest enemies lately is HP and Oracle’s Sun acquisition has placed the companies in direct competition.
The latest in this rivalry is Oracle’s decision to pull support for Intel’s (News - Alert) Itanium processor; Kevin McLaughlin at CRN details how Oracle has decided to drop support for the chip powering many HP computers and in response, HP is using social media to try to persuade Oracle to change its mind.
Jeffrey Burt at eWeek explains how many Oracle customers are unhappy with the decision – this isn’t surprising as making multimillion dollar hardware platform bets only to find out your software won’t run on the platform you chose is never good. Especially when budgets call for hardware platforms to be around for many years in order to be cost-effective.
HP’s official corporate blog has more but the post is not as diplomatic as I would have expected. I was surprised to read the following:
Oracle continues to show a pattern of anti-customer behavior as they move to shore up their failing Sun server business. HP believes in fair and honest competition. Competition is good for customers, innovation and the marketplace.
My surprise is not in the accuracy of the above statement but more that HP and Oracle, like it or not, are tied at the hip since they both have many customers in common. And keeping these customers happy should be their primary jobs. But in the case of Oracle – they have what you might want to call an entrenched position in the market and customers are extremely dependent.
Oracle’s statement on its Itanium decision is well-worded and is in its complete form below:
After multiple conversations with Intel senior management Oracle has decided to discontinue all software development on the Intel Itanium microprocessor. Intel management made it clear that their strategic focus is on their x86 microprocessor and that Itanium was nearing the end of its life.
Both Microsoft and RedHat have already stopped developing software for Itanium. HP CEO Leo Apotheker made no mention of Itanium in his long and detailed presentation on the future strategic direction of HP.
Oracle will continue to provide customers with support for existing versions of Oracle software products that already run on Itanium.
So the question, which only Oracle knows the answer to, is whether this decision was in any way influenced by the fact that HP is heavily reliant on Itanium and, moreover, the fact that via the Sun acquisition, HP and Oracle are now major competitors.
What is clear however is that industries are at the mercy of companies who roll up industries and this rivalry can in no way be good for any customers. That is unless of course Sun and HP compete via innovation – and this spat in particular shows that for the moment the situation is more of a feud than a rivalry to outdo one another with better products. | <urn:uuid:5821673a-b968-4724-a9f2-aecd4ae1a420> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://it.tmcnet.com/magazine/columns/articles/206168-hp-itanium-feud-with-oracle-hurts-customers-most.htm | 2024-04-21T20:45:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.968236 | 848 |
The December 2015 Ukraine power grid cyber attack was the first successful attack on a power grid and this event gave rise to Dispersive Networks.
According to Wikipedia, the attack was complex, consisting of the following steps:
Cyber attacks on the energy distribution companies took place during an ongoing Russian-Ukrainian war and are attributed to a Russian advanced persistent threat group known as "Sandworm".
If there is any good news that emerged as a result, it was people trying to find ways to prevent such attacks in the future.
In an exclusive interview with Ed Wood, CEO at Dispersive Networks, we learned how his company took the knowledge of this attack and used it as the basis of their technology, which uses tech principles from telecom-like spread-spectrum to take networking to the next level. According to Ed, their goal was to make the most secure, resilient, highest performing programmable network for mission-critical applications.
The Dispersive Virtualized Network is obfuscated, it can detect intrusion as well as contention and respond accordingly. The network is unpredictable, meaning adversaries will have a hard time bringing it down or successfully degrading it via DDoS attacks.
Going forward we will see the application of analytic and AI to the solution to make it even more robust and resilient. We will also see their virtual network software embedded in more devices over time.
Ed explained they are often replacing expensive private lines in mission-critical applications from utilities to financial markets among others. As networks become more critical and attackers continue to target them for various reasons, existing infrastructure needs a major upgrade. Dispersive wants to be that upgrade.

How many database systems there are that use JSON for storage or transport? I know of:
I remember I saw yet another vendor in a SO user's profile. That systems was using what they called binary JSON, but I can't remember the name of the product.
Lately, it appears that more and more DB projects are looking towards JSON for persistence storage. Some of them are even embracing HTTP as a transport layer. | <urn:uuid:e2c3ec95-ba83-4a90-9f63-3443729c9ff9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://itecnotes.com/tecnote/r-databases-using-json-as-storage-transport-format/ | 2024-04-21T20:33:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.980136 | 86 |

Why Hiring a Home Watch Company is Essential for Homes in Probate
Probate can be a lengthy and complex process, often taking months or even years to resolve. During this time, a property can sit unattended, making it vulnerable to a host of issues that can decrease its value and pose significant challenges for the executors of the estate. This is where the services of a professional home watch company become invaluable. Here are several compelling reasons why hiring a home watch company is essential for homes going through probate.
- Security and Vandalism Prevention
Vacant homes are prime targets for vandalism and break-ins. A home watch service provides regular checks on the property to verify it remains secure. These professionals can quickly respond to any security breaches, coordinate with law enforcement, and take necessary measures to prevent future incidents, thus maintaining the home’s safety and integrity.
- Maintenance and Upkeep
A home that looks abandoned can rapidly deteriorate. Regular maintenance is crucial to keep the property in good condition. Home watch companies conduct periodic inspections to identify any maintenance needs, from lawn care to fixing leaks or addressing pest infestations. By catching and dealing with such issues early, they prevent minor problems from escalating into major damages, saving the estate considerable repair costs.
- Mitigating Insurance Risks
Many homeowners’ insurance policies have specific clauses regarding vacant properties, often requiring regular inspections to keep the coverage valid. Failing to comply with these terms can lead to denied claims or policy cancellations. Home watch services verify that all insurance requirements are met, maintaining continuous coverage and mitigating risks.
- Averting Environmental Damage
Environmental threats like water leaks, mold growth, or pest infestations can go unnoticed in an unoccupied home, leading to significant damage over time. A home watch company’s routine inspections can catch these issues early, ensuring that the property is protected against environmental hazards and remains in a sellable condition.
- Peace of Mind for Executors and Beneficiaries
Probate is often a stressful time for executors and beneficiaries. Hiring a home watch service provides peace of mind, knowing that the property is being professionally cared for. This allows the estate’s executors to focus on the probate process and other important matters, confident that the home is in good hands.
- Enhancing Property Value
A well-maintained property retains its value and can even increase in worth over time. By ensuring that the home remains in prime condition, a home watch company plays a critical role in preserving or enhancing the property’s market value. This is particularly important in probate, where the eventual goal is often the sale of the property to distribute assets among beneficiaries.
The probate process is challenging enough without the added burden of managing a vacant property. Hiring a home watch company offers a practical and efficient solution to safeguard the estate, maintain the property’s value, and provide reassurance to all parties involved. In the complex journey of probate, the peace of mind and protection offered by professional home watch services are truly invaluable.

Voiceitt is a voice-enabled experience for individuals with non-standard speech: people with disabilities, aging voices and accented speakers. It uses voice recognition technology based on AI to enable people with speech disabilities to communicate using their own voice. The technology adapts by learning the unique speech patterns of each user to provide real-time transcription and synthesized speech output.
This automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology combines machine learning techniques and a growing database of proprietary non-standard speech recordings, to create an intuitive and accessible voice experience. It supports in-person communication and can be integrated with numerous productivity tools, making it easier to carry out essential tasks to facilitate greater independence in everyday life.
How does it work?
Each user trains the software by following simple prompts on the screen through the Voiceitt web-based application or with the help of an edge device. The training of the software is a time consuming process and can take a few hours to complete. After the training is completed, Voiceitt can be easily used in everyday life. It becomes more accurate with use and adjusts if the user’s speech deteriorates over time. The technology aligns with the functional model of disability as it aims to support individuals with speech impairments or limitations by allowing them to communicate using their own voice. The product provides functionality to it’s users by facilitating faster communication by eliminating the need for a complex AAC device or app.
Voiceitt also subscribes to the social model of disability by creating an environment that enables individuals with non-standard speech to participate in voice-enabled experiences. The product is designed to be accessible and inclusive. It can be used independently as a ASR for non-standard speakers or used with another ASR system as an accessibility extension. Alongside an additional interface that is tailored for people with limited motor control and speech impairments.
The application is operating system agnostic and can be accessed through the web, making it compatible across numerous devices. It can be used on a phone, tablet, or a computer. It can also be used when launching FaceTime calls, with Amazon Alexa and other smart assistants. The Voiceitt service is currently integrated with Webex, allowing for users to seamlessly communicate in web conferences, but not currently available for Zoom and Teams.
Providing Voice Based Accessibility
This technology aligns with the social identity model of disability, by creating an inclusive environment that enables people with different speech patterns to communicate with little effort. Voiceitt works for people with different levels of severity of speech disability, from mild to moderate. Since the app learns an individual’s unique speech, it can accommodate phrases in any language. But the interface of the application is limited to English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Hebrew. This means that numerous features of the software are unavailable to individuals across the world.
The application is available based on a subscription model, charging $49.99 per month or $499.99 per year. While they offer a 30-day free trial for users to test it out, the price is quite expensive for a lot of individuals, if not completely inaccessible. While being quite expensive in the long run, this technology also addresses the economic model of disability by facilitating more independence and productivity in the workplace. It helps individuals in effortlessly completing tasks like taking notes, dictating documents and writing emails.
Voiceitt is a transformative piece of technology for people with speech impairments. It aims to be a truly inclusive communication and collaboration tool. People have an inherent tendency to communicate, being able to connect to friends, family and colleagues is to crucial to their well-being. This technology enables all individuals to communicate using synthetic speech and the device’s speaker.
While training is time consuming and there aren’t a wide range of languages available currently, the database of non-standard speech continues to grow, improving the performance of the application. Voiceitt will continue to make a difference in the lives of its users, enabling them to communicate with others and technology.

8.1 features Microsoft removed from Windows 8.1
Forget about the desktop improvements and Bing Smart Search: Windows 8.1’s biggest draw may be the sheer volume of new and hidden features. Seriously—it’s jam-packed.
1. Messaging app
Windows 8’s IM capabilities were handled by the aptly named Messaging, one of the core apps shining front and center on the live-tiled Start screen. No more: Microsoft has kicked Messaging to the curb less than a year after the app’s arrival, replacing the Windows 8 native with Skype.
As high-profile as the swap is, it’s no great loss. Messaging was pretty lackluster and largely overlapped Skype’s core functionality. Meanwhile, Skype’s communication services are also being baked into the Xbox One and Outlook.com (but not Windows Phone). One bummer: Messaging supported Facebook Chat, while Skype does not.
2. Windows Experience Index
Ever since the Vista days, Windows provided a “Windows Experience Index” score in your My Computer properties. The WEI score was supposed to be a numerical indicator of your PC’s brawn. Powerful PCs received higher scores, and so on.
Unfortunately, the WEI’s scoring criteria weren’t well known, and it placed odd, seemingly artificial caps on the highest possible scores. (Windows 7’s cap was 7.9, while Vista’s was 5.9.) Whether for these or other reasons, the WEI never seemed to catch on, and it’s nowhere to be found in Windows 8.1.
3. Facebook and Flickr in the Photos app
Regrettably, Windows 8.1’s Photos app no longer supports Facebook and Flickr image integration.
“In Windows 8, we wanted to provide a way for folks to view their photos on other services, knowing there would be few (if any) apps in the store at launch that would do so,” a Microsoft representative said. “Now there are many apps in the store that offer ways to view photos on other services.”
A Facebook app launched in the Windows Store the same day as Windows 8.1, but its image-management and sharing capabilities aren’t as flexible as those in Windows 8’s Photos app. And despite Flickr’s sudden disappearance from the Photos app, an official app for that service has yet to appear in the Windows Store.
Your Documents, Music, Pictures, and Videos libraries aren’t visible by default in Windows 8.1—but that doesn’t mean they’re not there. Activating them is easy, as shown in the single screenshot below.
Some websites are reporting, though, that Windows 8.1’s libraries ditch Public folders. Our experiences are a bit more hit-and-miss: Public folders appeared in my Windows 8.1 libraries after I upgraded from Windows 8, but they were a no-show in the libraries of another PCWorld editor.
Don’t let that bring you down! After reenabling libraries using the method outlined above, just right-click a library and select Properties > Add… to toss additional folders into the mix.
5. Windows 7 File Recovery, kind of
Ominous portents swirled when the Windows 8.1 Preview pushed out without the ‘Windows 7 File Recovery’ image-backup option found in Windows 8, especially since Microsoft has clearly stated that the tool is being deprecated in favor of Windows 8’s File History. And yes, it’s still missing in Windows 8.1.
But fear not! Though Windows 7 File Recovery is dead in name, it lives on in spirit as ‘System Image Backup’. Just head to Control Panel > System & Security > File History, and then look in the lower-left corner.
6. Apps splashed on the Start screen
In Windows 8, all newly installed apps and desktop programs automatically received a tile on the modern Start screen. That isn’t the case in Windows 8.1: Now, you have to dive into the All Apps screen and manually pin new software to the Start screen.
That’s a big win in my book, since installing desktop programs often plopped tiles for dozens of auxiliary executables, languages, and other options on the Start screen alongside the link to the base program, resulting in a distressing amount of clutter. Less-seasoned computer users may become confused when installed apps fail to appear on the Start screen by default, however—especially since the returned Start button’s behavior trains you to consider the Start screen as a “modern”-day Start-menu replacement. Steel yourself for the support call from family and friends.
7. My Computer
Yes, the nearly 20-year-old ‘My Computer’ moniker has retired, giving way to the more cloud- and cross-platform-friendly ‘This PC’. Desktop fallout from the focus on “One Microsoft” continues—though this is an admittedly trivial change.
8. SkyDrive desktop program
Keen-eyed SkyDrive users will note that jumping to Windows 8.1 erases the discrete (and optional) SkyDrive desktop software that served to keep local files in sync with the cloud. And that makes sense: Microsoft’s cloud service weaves itself tightly into Windows 8.1, and the desktop program’s functionality has largely been replaced by the update’s native SkyDrive support.
8.1. SkyDrive desktop-program functionality
Continuing with that theme, some of the more obscure yet helpful functions of the SkyDrive desktop program haven’t been replicated by Windows 8.1’s native features. For one thing, upgrading to Windows 8.1 kills SkyDrive’s remote Fetch feature.
Also be aware that unlike the desktop program, SkyDrive in Windows 8.1 relies on symbolic links to point to cloud-stored files in File Explorer, even though everything appears to be saved locally at first glance. This “smart files” functionality can save a lot of space on tablets and other storage-restricted devices, but if you’d like to keep local copies of your stuff, right-click the SkyDrive icon in File Explorer and select Make available offline.
You can also right-click individual files and folders and choose to make them online-only or available offline.
Still worth the upgrade
Don’t let these little omissions dissuade you: Windows 8.1 is superior to Windows 8 in virtually every way. It represents a much less jarring version of Microsoft’s grand vision of a cross-platform future—though it still won’t win over folks whose lips instinctively curl at the merest mention of the word “Metro.” Check out PCWorld’s definitive review of Windows 8.1 for all the juicy details. (And if you’re one of those desktop diehards, you might want to check out our guide to banishing the modern UI from your Windows 8.1 PC.)

Written by Steve DeAngelo, founder of the world’s largest dispensary Harborside Health Center in Oakland, this book covers humanity’s relationship to weed and makes a health and social justice case for why it should be legal.

The Emperor Wears No Clothes by Jack Herer
Written by the renowned activist Jack Herer, the namesake for today’s popular sativa strain, this classic chronicles the political war on the cannabis plant, and the various uses of hemp for food, textiles, medicine, energy, paper, and more. Herer also digs into the racial implications of prohibition.
The Ganja Kitchen Revolution: The Bible of Cannabis Cuisine by Jessica Catalano

Released in 1860, this memoir documents Baudelaire’s hallucinations and dreamy hash-induced thoughts and visions.

In writing my PhD thesis on the topic of the idea and experience of academic community, I followed Andrew Sparkes’ less traditional approach and produced three fictional vignettes, aimed a revealing elements of academic life within a fictional setting. All three pieces illustrate the institutional culture of contemporary higher education, or as observed, it’s brutality and crassness. They also illustrate the day-to-day lives of the research participants. Bryan (an emeritus professor) is subject to a surprise move as, in his absence, his office (and his status) is eradicated; Jonathon (an academic leader) introduces a new member of staff to a different way of meeting the team, and the Vice-Chancellor gives an address that is steeped in the language of excellence that pervades the institutional discourse, a language from which there is no escape.
The Vice-Chancellor’s address, given below, is made up from phrases selected from the official corporate narrative of the University of Greystone, the site of the research. The confidence of the institutional discourse is emblematic of the grand narrative that tends to be a strong feature of universities today.
Greystone itself is included as a player in the research, with an articulated position in relation to idea of community. The institution is given a voice by the selection and presentation of corporate documents, including a number of corporate plans. Thirty-one letters from the Vice-Chancellor to all university staff were also analysed. Written in the first person, the letters reveal something about the character of the Vice-Chancellor as a person, through the way in which he chooses to convey his message, his observations and the language he uses. Through them he appears to be speaking directly to the staff and is creating an impression of sharing an almost intimate perspective on what is happening. The (not so) fictional address below, however, is less intimate and evokes what Readings described as the ‘University of Excellence’.
The Vice-Chancellor of Greystone gives an address.
‘Let me state at the outset that it is our leadership that is at the forefront of an outstanding reputation. The major contributions we shall make will undoubtedly be our greatest impact. Our particular strength is that we are well equipped for the pursuit of excellence. We are agenda setting internationally, avowedly ambitious and world-leading due to exceptional strengths that make us world-class. Being among the best with our high-quality, high-achieving and highest standards, which are undeniably of the highest quality and thereby market-leading at a high-level. This high-class and high-impact status must be the highest possible. Our highest ambitions, driven by the highest calibre leadership, enable the highest achievements and therefore the highest possible global influence. Inevitably this highest possible performance from our high performing team ensures a high academic engagement. From such a high base we can gain an edge. Our standards will be ratcheted up, supported by a long and proud history with its international distinction making us excellent in our excellence. This excellent achievement, regarded by all as an exemplar of good practice, is not just exemplary but is regarded as internationally excellent. Being internationally recognised, and being internationally aware, our international significance ensures us the strongest international position. Such international recognition of our extraordinary potential keeps us firmly in the top, in the top flight and on the top tier. And we are not just ranked in the top; we are in the top 20 ranking. Recognised as globally strong, the University excels and we can contribute equally with the best universities in the world. And this enviable reputation delivers an exceptional education, and with excellent research our excellent achievement is second to none. Building on the successes, which put us well within the world top 100, our intellectual power and influence obliges us to play a leading role. Our consistent top-20 ranking is an outstanding contribution, which is ranked in the top quartile. Being successful, inevitably there is public good flowing from what we do. This public good ensures a strong culture and our pioneering work in this area is a powerful combination, and a powerful platform. We are, simply, inspiring and innovative.’

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) asked the governments of Panama and Venezuela to restore flights between the two countries, after they were suspended on December 13.
“This disruption could not have come at a worse time. Venezuela had very limited international air connectivity, even before covid-19,” said Peter Cerdá, IATA regional vice president for the Americas.
Venezuela had allowed flights from five countries: Panama, Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Iran and Turkey. However, a few days ago they decided to suspend their operations to Panama and the Dominican Republic by order of the National Executive and the National Institute of Civil Aeronautics, after a difference in the number of weekly operations that each airline could fly between those countries.
“Our operations are canceled and subject to the corresponding government authorizations,” said Laser Airlines, one of the airlines affected by the measure, who are evaluating alternatives to serve the affected passengers on these routes.
Copa Airlines, for its part, pointed out that there is no tentative date for the reopening of its flights between Panama and Venezuela.
“Severing this link before the holiday travel season, and at a time when the demand for pharmaceuticals needed to fight the pandemic is at its peak, will have dire consequences. The travel plans will be seriously affected, ” added Cerdá.
Likewise, the Panamanian government indicated that it will not change its mind until the flights required by the Panamanian airline are authorized and the equal and fair treatment agreed in the current bilateral agreement is restored.

What Should I Expect During an Air Energy Audit?
Compressed air systems are a necessity in most industrial facilities as they power many machines, tools and processes; however, they are notorious for consuming significant amounts of energy.
As a matter of fact, the U.S. Department of Energy says that as much as 10% of all electricity generated in the United States is used by air compressors and HALF of that energy is wasted! In the current climate of reducing operational costs and going green, facility managers may be asking themselves how they can rectify the inefficiencies within their air compression system. The answer: An air energy audit.
The Benefits of an Air Energy Audit
An air energy audit is used to determine whether the existing compressed air system is performing efficiently or not. Auditors will uncover areas of loss and make recommendations for correcting inefficiencies. In almost all cases, the audit will help reduce energy usage and costs and may also improve compressed air quality, uncover minor system issues before they interfere with operation and increase the availability of the system and its operating lifetime.
- Reduced energy usage: The majority of the total cost associated with a compressed air system comes from operating it, with about one-third of the expense being electricity. Since the main goal of the air energy audit is to find inefficiencies, making the auditor’s recommended adjustments to the system should help increase the efficiency and reduce the facility’s electric bill, which can provide a significant savings.
- Improved air quality: Malfunctions with the filtration and drying systems and other components can introduce corrosion, contaminants and moisture into the system, which will reduce the quality of the generated air. Making recommended adjustments to these components will result in better functionality of the system and improve the quality of the produced air, which will likely have a positive impact on your operations and finished products.
- Increased uptime and system lifecycle: Since corrosion, broken and improperly sized parts can reduce the operating life of the air compression system, discovering and rectifying these issues before they cause an outage will increase system availability and may also lengthen the lifecycle of the air compressor and its components.
What to Expect During an Air Energy Audit
Compressed air energy audits can usually be conducted on almost any budget and without disrupting production. There are various levels from a basic, walk-through audit performed by in-house staff to a full-system audit led by professionals that include leak detection, data logging, power and flow rate measurements, and recommendations for improving efficiency and preventive maintenance activities. A full-system audit conducted by a professional take about one to two weeks and can cost thousands of dollars but is likely to drive efficiency and functionality improvements that can reduce the facility’s current electric bill by 10% to 50%. Utility providers may offer rebates and incentive programs to help offset the cost of professionally performed audits.
There are several steps involved in an in-depth, professional air energy audit, as follows:
- Site Survey: The first step in an air energy audit is the site survey in which the auditor conducts a walk through of the facility to create a list of the compressed air system components and layout, including the make and model of the compressor, storage system and piping or delivery system. The auditor will determine how the components currently interact with each other and may identify obvious system flaws.
- Air Study: During the site survey, data logging equipment will be placed throughout the system to measure energy usage and air pressure. The measurement period should be at least one week and should include periods of normal operation, downtime and peak and non-peak usage.
- Data Analysis: After collecting the air study data, the information is analyzed using a software that builds a profile which tells the air auditor the flow range and power range of the system. Reports are created that detail system efficiency, compressed air system costs, air flow demand and inappropriate usage. This report should also uncover areas of inefficiency and loss, incorrectly sized or damaged equipment and other maintenance issues and include recommendations for improving system issues, such as fixing leaks, curbing over-pressurization, installing flow control valves and/or upgrading components.
- System Verification: While it is up to the system owner to take action to correct identified inefficiencies and system malfunctions, in order to reap the benefits of the audit, it is important to prioritize and accomplish suggested tasks. After the recommended improvements have been made, the owner can schedule a follow-up visit from the auditor who will measure system performance and identify the achieved reductions in energy usage and improvements in efficiency and functionality.
Although there are costs associated with auditing a compressed air system, the increased efficiency and improved reliability often make the investment worthwhile, as statistics show that significant reductions in compressor maintenance and energy costs are likely to be achieved in a year or less.

DDB Chicago launches new campaign for Creator Economy startup Pearpop to show it can make any brand famous, even ones that don’t exist.
LOS ANGELES, April 20, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Pearpop, the highly-awarded Creator Economy startup, has partnered with DDB Chicago to launch “Pearpop Drops” – a campaign featuring a lineup of fictitious products to illustrate the company’s unique power to harness influencers to get the world talking about any brand, even ones that literally don’t exist.
Founded in early 2021, Pearpop has experienced a meteoric rise over the past two years, even as other Creator Economy companies have faltered. Dubbed the “Airbnb of the Creator Economy” by Forbes, Pearpop helps a community of 200,000+ social media creators earn a living doing what they love, while giving brands instant and direct access to collaborate with relevant, authentic, brand-safe creators.
And while Pearpop has become a major player in the Creator Marketing space, trusted by world-class brands including Netflix, Amazon, Chipotle, Beyond Meat, and more, the company sees 2023 as the year to put itself on the map as the de facto leader in the often-cluttered Influencer Marketing space.
Rodrigo Jatene, CCO of DDB Chicago said “If Pearpop can use the power of creators and influencers to make products that don’t even exist famous, then we are proving the point that Pearpop can help marketers of any brand make their real products famous.”
Together with DDB Chicago, Pearpop created a range of pop-culture relevant products and are using Pearpop’s community of influencers to launch them on social media — all at once, on the same day. Products range from Pearpop Energy Drink (“Made with the sweet taste of fame & influence”) to a pear-shaped Bluetooth speaker, to the “Pearpop Deluxe” value menu from the newly-created Pearpop fast-food restaurant chain.
In typical Pearpop fashion, creators ranging from Christian Barnes (@freshchris, 4M followers) to prominent Twitch creator Eva Cudmore (@evacudmore) were brought in to introduce the new products with a wink and a nod. And for those left with any doubt as to whether the products were in fact real, users were brought to the Pearpop Drops landing page, plastered with the unambiguous headline, “Fake Products. Real Results.”
“Pearpop is setting the new standard in creator marketing – giving brands the unprecedented ability to collaborate with creators at scale to drive real and predictable business results. We created Pearpop Drops to prove we can make any brand famous, and now we are already hearing a ton of buzz and interest in the products we’ve created. If we can create this much noise overnight for products that literally don’t exist, I think we’ll chalk that up as a win,” said Alex Morrison, CMO of Pearpop.
The Pearpop Drops campaign launches on April 20 across the TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, and YouTube platforms globally.
Pearpop, the leading Creator Marketing Platform, is revolutionizing the way creators and brands collaborate. With a community of over 200,000 creators and counting, Pearpop is dedicated to helping creators earn a living doing what they love, while providing brands with instant and direct access to relevant, authentic, and brand-safe creators across all major social media platforms. In 2022, Pearpop was recognized as “Best Influencer Marketing Platform” by DIGIDAY and named to FAST COMPANY’s “Most Innovative Companies” List in Social Media. www.pearpop.com.

About this deal
but also a fair warning: it's not an entertainment read like dude these guys expect you TO ACT once you're done. The more we reappraise, the more likely we are to deal with discomfort in a productive manner (rather than running from it or ignoring it). The surprising message of Do Hard Things will resonate with young people who sense that they are being lulled into mediocrity by the consumer, "me"-obsessed values of pop culture.
Not being this person, and instead being the one who chooses to take on the project, or do the task, will help you stand out.It offers a balanced perspective that acknowledges the complexity and nuance of resilience and does not prescribe a one-size-fits-all solution. The problem is, the Harris brothers wrote about things everyone has already heard a million times before. We have this whole learning history” in schools and work that tends to reward outcomes and achievements more than the effort we put in, Job said. Steve Magness possesses an incredible range of wisdom and knowledge about the science, psychology and practical sides of sport performance.
This week I had spent more time in bed than out, unable to convince my exhausted body to simply shower.Do Hard Things weaves persuasive arguments from historical and contemporary sources with personal story and biblical principles to expose the negative effects of "the myth of adolescence," redefine the teen years as the launching pad of life, and motivate young people to reach for their true potential. Their survival depended on being able to ration the water, even as they endured the most extreme thirst imaginable.
When presented with the choice of two cognitive tasks, people clearly prefer to do the easier one and are willing to accept fewer rewards to avoid having to try harder. This book is a master class in how to develop resilience, persistence and confidence under pressure. I'd love for every teenager to read this book, but I'm just as eager for every parent, church leader, and educator to read it. Neuroimaging shows that the ventral striatum, a brain region that plays a key role in processing rewarding outcomes, is more strongly activated when we achieve something through higher effort than lower effort. He does not promote a particular tool or mindset, but taking an approach based accepting the current reality you are facing, listening to feedback from a wide range of channels (including emotional responses), responding to the situation (and not reacting) and using discomfort to find meaning.When you’re all about image, you set goals designed to impress other people: I’m going to run a marathon or I’m going to marry the most attractive partner I can find.
Again, taking the easy way out allows you to slink through life, but it could also create health issues. After a career spent as a gifted multi-instrumentalist, backing numerous other artists, she finally dared to release her solo project in 2021. Instead of thinking I can’t do this because it’s hard, try figuring out precisely what part of the task is hard.But actually, when you ignore your feelings, you’re wasting a huge opportunity to become more resilient. But the meditators rated the experience as about three times less unpleasant than the non-meditators. Let’s move away from toxic toughness that demands we suffer in silence, repress our feelings, and push through pain. Much of this was new to me, and the mix of stories and science gave it a good mix of applicability and accessibility while making a convincing argument. In the Israeli military, those who grew up in an authoritarian environment adapted to and coped with the challenges of military life much worse than their peers who grew up in a nurturing environment. | <urn:uuid:1c6457d5-0aa8-447c-95f7-b00cc7d331f8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://jogscotlandstonehaven.co.uk/us4/do+hard+things | 2024-04-21T20:16:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.953773 | 758 |
A John Cockerill NESA Multiple Hearth Furnace for responsible e-waste recycling
September 13th 2022
Towards a circular economy! John Cockerill Environment is supporting electronics recycling company Igneo Technologies’ US expansion plans by supplying a Multiple Hearth Furnace (MHF) designed to treat electronic scraps through a pyrolysis process, keeping the low-grade materials contained in e-waste from ending up in landfills or being dumped in developing countries.
John Cockerill’s NESA type MHF, the center piece of the client’s new North American plant currently under construction in Savannah, Georgia, is to process discarded low-grade consumer electronics into sustainable high-grade metal concentrates, which is shipped to refineries for further processing into precious and base metals fractions.
E-scrap, also called WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronical Equipment), contains copper, gold, silver and palladium. Those metals are often combined with other materials, such as plastics or resins, and need to be separated for reuse.
An innovative pyrolysis treatment process to separate and recover up to 98% of the metals contained in waste electrical and electronical equipment
Developed in John Cockerill Environment’s pilot plant in Belgium, the innovative pyrolysis treatment process allows to separate and recover up to 98% of those metals while mitigating harmful emissions associated with traditional metal reclamation. Not at last by oxidizing, treating and neutralizing the gases resulting from the pyrolysis process in an independent post-combustion chamber and through a flue gases treatment system, making the treatment even more sustainable.
The new plant in the US is in response to the success of the client’s France-based WEEE electronic scrap recycling facility for which John Cockerill had equally showcased its expert knowledge and innovative solutions several years ago. Expected to be operational in 2024, the new facility will produce 45,000 metric tons of renewable and recyclable copper concentrate, outproducing its French plant, which currently produces 15,000 metric tons each year.
“The Savannah project is just the beginning for our expansion plans,” says Danish Mir, CEO of Igneo. “We’re excited about extending our reach in the United States, and we hope to expand our European operations as well to bring Igneo to the forefront of the industry.”
“A sustainable solution to the e-waste problem, making a lasting positive impact for the environment”
“We’re happy to support Igneo’s economic development since 2009,” states Gauthier Cottenier, Head of John Cockerill Environment’s Solids & Waste Business Line supplying the MHF. “We are proud to assist an innovative, solution-oriented company like Igneo to fully deploy their sustainable solution to the e-waste problem, making a lasting positive impact for the environment.”
E-waste is the fastest growing waste stream in the world. It is expected to reach 74.7 million tons by 2030. The equivalent of 7390 Eiffel Towers. Its recycling means addressing one of the significant challenges of our time. In the context of ecological transition and circular economy, helping to support responsible recycling of WEEE with our technologies is fully in line with John Cockerill Environment’s ambition to provide solutions to the needs of our time. | <urn:uuid:eaa89817-12a4-4bfb-a07f-3b4a33655e91> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://johncockerill.com/en/press-and-news/news/a-john-cockerill-nesa-multiple-hearth-furnace-for-responsible-e-waste-recycling/ | 2024-04-21T20:19:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.92669 | 718 |
Blue by Joni Mitchell
Well hello there, music lover. Good to see you back on the blog. Or if you're just joining us, then welcome. Why don't you make yourself at home? Get comfortable, stay for a while, and put some music on while you're at it.
It seems you've caught me in a mellow mood today. It's grey out there, music lover. February's dirty dishwater sky is hanging low across the city and a cold wind's whispering outside my house. It's on days like today I find it best to stay inside, drink tea, wear slippers and go back through old vinyl. That's what I've been doing, and I just let the needle drop on this: Blue by Joni Mitchell. Can we talk about how awesome it is?
Ah, Joni Mitchell. She reminds me of my first apartment and the girl I lived with there, now my wife. But it's not just nostalgia that makes Mitchell's work so resonant - there's something else, something about her voice and the way it just climbs from the speakers, fragile but elegant, like snowbells climbing from the soil, a soft harbinger of bucolic times to come.... Or maybe I've just got spring on the brain - it's entirely possible on a grey day like this one. But in any case, I'd be hard-pressed not to argue that Joni Mitchell was made for mellow days like today, and that Blue, her fourth album, seems like it was made for this mood in particular.
It's been more than 40 years since Blue was released, way back in 1971, a whole decade before Mitchell herself would be inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. But she was already very well established as a musician then, and Blue was an instant commercial and critical hit, reaching No. 15 on the Billboard 200 and No. 3 on the UK Albums Chart. The New York Times would later choose it as one of the 25 albums representing "turning points and pinnacles in 20th-century popular music." High praise indeed. But totally warranted.
Mitchell wrote Blue after a tough breakup with then-boyfriend Graham Nash, a British singer-songwriter best known for his work with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. She had taken a break from live performance at this time and was travelling around Europe after the breakup - in a bit of a mellow mood herself, by the sounds of it, because it was there that she composed much of the material that would eventually form Blue. Consequently, a lot of the album's content centres on relationships, from the infatuation of "A Case of You" to the melancholy withdrawal and self-doubt of "River," in which she sings of her desire for "a river I could skate away on." There's an emotional immediacy to these songs that is undeniable, a fact Mitchell herself acknowledged, remarking that "at that period of my life, I had no personal defences... the advantage of it in the music was that there were no defences there either." As listeners, we're all the richer for it.
The success of Blue would start Mitchell touring again and performing her music live. It was still only the beginning of a career that's spanned decades, in which there were still many great albums to come. But Blue stands out among them - especially on vinyl, hissing and crackling on the turntable. And especially on grey days like today.

Written by JESSICA SAWANG (edited by KATERINA THEOCHAROUS)
“I mean, I figured that because I never gave them my bank details I wouldn’t get roped into anything too bad. I only gave them my name, address, date of birth, signature, driver’s license number, fingerprints and a mouth swab – you know, the usual. It’s not much to hand over when you’re given something sick in exchange. Look at it, it’s glass!”
Kent Reed is a first-year medical student, and an attendee at the UNSW Medicine Orientation Day inaugurally covered by Jugular Reporting. When approached by a reporter, he was admiring the free water bottle given to him by a medical insurance company in exchange for his membership. However, he admitted to not having read the fine print on the small pile of paperwork given along with the bottle, which was found crumpled up at the bottom of a matching canvas tote bag. Kent’s story is not an uncommon one, with 90% of first-year medical students reporting experiences such as finding random leaflets they don’t remember picking up and receiving monthly emails from strange organisations. This year, Jugular Reporting investigates.
Among the thick crowd gathered around the company booths, first-year Moe Knee could be seen juggling a multitude of water bottles, pens and USB fans in his arms. When asked if he had read over the fine print before signing for the freebies, Moe Knee said, “Yeah, but they only asked for the rights to my soul and my first-born child. It’s not like I’m going to be left with much of my soul after this six-year degree and my soul has no monetary value as it is, so I might as well profit off of it, right?”
When questioned about his lack of concern about handing over the rights to his child for a water bottle that could be bought for less than ten dollars at a retail store, Knee replied, “Well, it might not be very ethical to you, but look at it from my perspective. Taking away my first-born child would be a blessing. Children are loud, annoying and useless and they’re usually a mistake. Plus, childcare is so expensive… but you know what’s not expensive? A free water bottle. It’s useful and quiet too.” Knee then put on a pair of sunglasses and strolled purposefully back up to the insurance company’s spokesperson, appearing to try to nab yet another free water bottle under disguise.
Syne Hare, another first-year, was pointing a penlight in her own eyes when the Jugular team approached her. She denied knowing exactly what organisation she had just signed up for but was eager to demonstrate the freebies they had provided “No, but look at what they gave us! It’s literally a pen torch, it’s a pen that actually has a torch on the back of it, how cool is that?”
On investigation of her paperwork, Hare found, in small print, ‘if your liver is not handed over willingly, necessary force will be used’. “Oh, they only wanted my liver, no biggie. They can have it but really, it’s their loss. I don’t think my liver would even sell for five cents on the black market after all that post-HSC partying. At least they aren’t asking for a monthly fee – I’d really be panicking if they asked me for that.”
Professors interviewed regarding the contents of this report express concern, but not surprise. “Why do you think we have lectures on critical thinking in the Medical course?” Dr Romson said. “We realised fairly early just how little situational awareness the incoming medical students had.” Dr Borda agrees, stating that ethical opinions such as Moe Knee’s underpin several topics of UNSW Medical Ethics teaching and are best viewed through the consequentialist perspective.
On leaving the Expo, Jugular Reporting again encountered Kent Reed, this time squinting at an information pamphlet. “‘By signing these forms and accepting the complimentary water bottle, I have officially handed over the rights to my… soul? Please note that this contract is unable to be terminated under any circumstances.’ Oh no, what have I done.” Reed was last seen with his head buried in his hands and his pile of freebies lying abandoned at his feet. Anonymous sources claim he has transferred to Law, seeking to gain the experience and critical reading skills required to either find a loophole in his contract or sue the company that wrote it.
** Jugular Reporting would like to respond to allegations that Syne Hare’s free pen torch was deliberately broken by a reporter, who slapped it out of Hare’s hands after it was shone directly into the reporter’s eyes. Her abrupt reaction was due to photosensitivity, caused by her essentially living in the bowels of Wallace Wurth (Lower Ground). Profuse apologies are extended. | <urn:uuid:b85d5ed9-f2a5-4505-bcc0-18998caeac0a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://jugular.org.au/index.php/2019/05/06/med-student-sells-soul-to-insurance-company-for-sick-water-bottle/ | 2024-04-21T22:06:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.975843 | 1,085 |
Best Practices for Managing LinkedIn as a Business
Before getting into managing comments and messages, it is crucial to know the main cause of LinkedIn, right? LinkedIn is a social network that is designed and used for especially improving businesses and broadening business networks. This platform is now the world’s leading business network and LinkedIn has currently 810 million users, in 200 countries based on regularly updated LinkedIn statistics. People are generally using LinkedIn to “strengthen their professional network” but this platform is also a good way to keep in touch with old colleagues, get referrals from your old businesses, and search for new job opportunities.
Most people are registered as a personal profile on LinkedIn, meanwhile, some owners of these personal profiles are also managing or administrating their company profiles. Companies usually prefer to have a “Company Page” instead of a regular “Profile” so that they can share their history, mission, and vision on the page’s “About” section.
Importance of LinkedIn Business Page
Having a business LinkedIn page is just as important as having a website for your company. You can build a LinkedIn business page for free as long as you have a company name and email.
Businesses should manage their LinkedIn messages and comments adequately not to miss new connections, potential leads, and business opportunities. If you have a B2B business, LinkedIn is especially vital for your business to grow and shine since you have the potential to reach other businesses easily. Surely, there are efficient ways to manage LinkedIn and in this article, we’ll show you a few tips&tricks to manage your LinkedIn engagements effectively, professionally, and smoothly.
How to Use LinkedIn for Your Business?
Using LinkedIn for your business would be significantly different from your personal use. While posting content, inviting people, or updating your profile, you have to be extra careful not to damage your company’s current status and prestige. There are some critical points that you should keep in mind while using LinkedIn for Business:
- Complete all page details, don’t leave any section blank
- Add important page admins and have a consistent and single tone of voice
- Keep your images updated and post content regularly
- Make sure to share engaging content with presenting your brand image, objectives
- Post interesting, eye-catching visuals
- Customize and optimize your CTA
- Involve your employees by sharing content about them as well
- Post content from (or mention) partners and other companies in your industry
While acting as a representative of your business when you manage the page, it is important to engage with your followers frequently. LinkedIn has a different language, posting strategy, and topics compared to other popular social media platforms. As LinkedIn is a more professional space, the language is also more professional and formal. The lifestyle topics won’t work, especially when you are representing a business page.
You may share recent updates of your business, some business-related polls, questions, news about your employees, or sectoral information on LinkedIn if you want to get more engagement from and outside of your follower circle.
How to Manage LinkedIn Messages as a Business?
Depending on your business’ size, managing LinkedIn messages might be a handful. Companies usually hire professionals to manage not only LinkedIn messages but also all social media platform engagements. You need to check your messages regularly, which means every day, once in an hour would be fine.
LinkedIn usually prioritizes “InMail” rather than the general messages. InMail is LinkedIn’s feature that is usually used by business owners and HR managers to connect with job seekers and professionals. You can also send messages from your company’s page as well.
The better way to manage LinkedIn messages is to define a tone of voice for your company and use the same tone for everyone who messages your page to build a consistent and effective representation.
How to Manage LinkedIn Comments as a Business?
It is vital to reply to the comments as a company while you are managing your company page’s LinkedIn comments. LinkedIn approves replying comments as a company if you are an admin on your company’s page. You only need to follow a few basic and easy steps to make this magic happen. Check this article out to know more about these small steps.
Managing comments is as important as managing messages on LinkedIn. When you share news or an article that keeps the finger on the pulse, depending on how wide your company network is, you will receive comments that will criticize your post both negatively and positively. And of course, there will be trolls and spam comments too. Try to be patient and don’t delete any comments if it is only expressing an opposite idea. This will open the doors for a high-quality debate on your LinkedIn post. You have to take everything into consideration when replying to comments because, unlike messages, all comments are visible to the public on a LinkedIn business page. You have to represent your company in the best way possible with your tone and language. Even if there is no need to reply to a comment, you can just reply as “thank you” showing you appreciate their engagement.
Here are other points you have to bear in mind when replying to LinkedIn comments:
- Instead of copy-paste replies, try to write genuine and personalized replies
- Don’t oversell your service or product
- Keep your company image consistent and train your LinkedIn page admins accordingly
- Always pay attention to grammar and spelling
- Tag the person who you are replying to so they can get a notification

It has been said San Francisco is forty-nine square miles surrounded by reality. Fleeing Michigan snows for a week in San Francisco leads to feeling the otherworldliness. One flight and everything changes.
In San Francisco, underneath a series of hills reminiscent of Hobbit holes, is the California Academy of Sciences. The hills reflect the structures below, such as the planetarium. The overall field forms a living roof which keeps “interior temperatures about 10 degrees cooler than a standard roof and reducing low frequency noise by 40 decibels. It also decreases the urban heat island effect, staying about 40 degrees cooler than a standard roof.” This according to the California Academy of Sciences press release from 2007.
Renzo Piano designed building. His starting point was a question that’s delightful in his lateral thinking: “what if we were to lift up a piece of the park and put a building underneath?” In the California Academy of Sciences building and throughout Piano’s work, he returns again and again to themes of culture and change.
“The world keeps changing,” Renzo Piano said on the TED stage. “Changes are difficult to swallow by people. And architecture is a mirror of those changes. Architecture is the built expression of those changes. Those changes create adventure. They create adventure, and architecture is adventure.”
There’s a tension when designing a security architecture. The architecture must meet and mirror culture of the organization. The design can’t run contrary to how the organization works. But at the same time, the new controls must facilitate a cultural change towards a more secure way of being. The architecture mirrors while it modifies.
There’s another tension when designing a security architecture. Ongoing change will impact how people perceive and experience security. But at the same time, the security principles and posture must remain unchanged in the face of far ranging organizational change. “Architects give a shape to the change,” Piano once said. The architecture is flexible but stable.
My last trip in the US, before the pandemic, was to San Francisco. Within a month, everything had changed. We are experiencing the greatest migration in human history. A migration from the office to the home, certainly. More significantly, a migration from the physical to the digital. We now live in 1440 square pixels surrounded by reality.
Security architects must meet the wave of this change while holding steadfast to our security principles.

IT Security Then and Now, Securing Relationships with Wolfgang Goerlich, Cybersecurity Strategist. This week we met with Wolfgang Goerlich. Not only is he a well respected CISO, he was our guest on Episode 1 (and episode 112).

Are you a business owner interested in franchising? If so, then you should consider applying for a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan. An SBA loan is an attractive option for those who want to open a franchise because the loan can be used to cover the costs associated with starting or expanding a business. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at how to apply for an SBA loan and what you should consider before submitting your application.
In order to qualify for an SBA loan, you must meet certain eligibility requirements. These may include having good credit, having sufficient collateral, and having adequate cash flow. Additionally, your business must comply with the size standards established by SBA guidelines. The size standards vary from industry to industry and are based on the number of employees or average annual receipts of the business.
Once you’ve determined that your business meets all of the eligibility requirements, it’s time to start preparing your application packet. To apply for an SBA loan, you will need to provide information about your business plan and current financial situation as well as personal financial statements and tax returns from yourself and any other owners of the business. It is important that you provide complete and accurate information in order to increase your chances of being approved for the loan.
Making Your Pitch
When applying for an SBA loan, it is important to make sure that your application stands out from other applicants. Consider putting together a presentation that outlines why your franchise is unique and why it has the potential for success. Make sure that you emphasize how investing in this franchise will benefit both you and the lender in terms of profits and job creation.
Applying for an SBA Loan can be a great way to finance a new or existing franchise business venture due to its low-interest rates and long repayment period options compared to traditional loans or investors. However, it is important that you understand all of the eligibility requirements as well as prepare a thorough application package including all necessary documents before submitting it to ensure that you have increased your chances of getting approved by lenders or investors who might find value in what your franchise offers them in return for their investment. Doing these things will help ensure that when taking out an SBA Loan, both parties involved are confident that there is mutual benefit involved when agreeing on terms with each other.

Zero Waste is a concept that challenges the old way of thinking about waste as something that has no value and to be thrown away. According to the Zero Waste Alliance:
Zero waste suggests that the entire concept of waste should be eliminated. Instead, waste should be thought of as a “residual product” or simply a “potential resource” to counter our basic acceptance of waste as a normal course of events. Opportunities such as reduced costs, increased profits, and reduced environmental impacts are found when returning these “residual products” or “resources” as food to either natural and industrial systems.
Zero Waste is a whole system approach that changes the way materials flow through society and ultimately results in no waste. It involves reducing consumption, minimising wastage, maximising recycling and composting, and ensuring that products and materials are designed to use less resources and made to be reused, recycled or biodegradable.
Nature is the best Zero Waste model. There is no waste in nature and by-products produced become resources for others or are assimilated harmlessly back to the surroundings.
The Zero Waste Hierarchy
The Zero Waste hierarchy refers to the following options for managing waste (in order of priority):
- Right in the beginning, waste should be prevented or reduced through redesign, reduced packaging and material use, and less consumption.
- Waste should be reused, repaired or refurbished for their original use or for another purpose.
- Waste should be recycled, reprocessed or composted into raw materials and useful resources.
- Waste should be recovered for their energy content through waste-to-energy or incineration facilities.
- After all of the above have been done, waste should be landfilled in a safe and sustainable manner.
Benefits of Zero Waste
The benefits of Zero Waste is that it helps to conserve our resources, reduce pollution, create jobs in waste management, reduce waste costs, increase the lifespan of our Semakau Landfill and incineration plants, and mitigate climate change.
Zero Waste is an extraordinary concept that can lead society, business, and cities to innovative breakthroughs that can save the environment, lives, and money. Through the lens of Zero Waste, an entirely new relationship between humans and systems is envisaged, the only one that can create more security and well being for people while reducing dramatically our impact upon planet earth. The excitement is on two levels: it provides a broad and far-reaching vision, and yet it is practical and applicable today. – Paul Hawken, environmentalist and author (from the publication, The End of Waste, by the Zero Waste New Zealand Trust)
Can We Achieve Zero Waste?
Zero is the goal but it is important not to be over-focused on the word ‘zero’. What matters is the concept behind Zero Waste. The road to Zero Waste is a long journey and it requires the efforts of individuals, communities, organisations, businesses and the government, working closely together towards Zero Waste. We invite all Singaporeans to support the vision of a Zero Waste Singapore. Yes We Can.
You can take action by practising the 3 Rs in your daily lives – Reduce, Reuse and Recycle (in order of sequence). The sequence is important, as source reduction is usually the best way to minimise waste while recycling still has some impact on the environment and should be done last.
1. Reduce by eliminating or minimising the waste in the beginning.
2. Reuse by using the waste several times in its original form or for another purpose.
3. Recycle by sending the waste to be processed as a resource for new products.
For example, let’s take a look at a plastic bottle of mineral water. Reduce by not buying the plastic bottle and drink from the tap or use your own reusable bottle instead.
But if you really have to buy the bottle of water, then reuse it after drinking the water. Reuse the plastic bottle as your water bottle for refilling, use it as a flower vase, use it for storing other liquids, or use it to make art decorative items.
After reusing the plastic bottle for some time and when it becomes dirty or damaged, don’t throw it away in the rubbish bin. Recycle the plastic bottle by depositing it into the recycling bag or bin under the recycling programme. The bottle will be collected and processed into plastic pellets that are used as feedstock for making new plastic bottles and products.
Our Waste Challenge
In Singapore, the amount of waste disposed has increased about 7 times over the past 45 years, from 1,200 tonnes/day in 1970 to 8,284 tonnes/day in 2015. Each person disposed about 0.86 kg of domestic waste per day in 2015.
If this continues, the projected lifespan of our Semakau Landfill would be about 35 years, and additional incineration plants would have to be built every 7 to 10 years.
This poses a challenge as it is difficult to find land for the construction of new incineration plants and landfills in land-scarce Singapore.
In addition, high cost is involved in the construction of new waste disposal facilities. The construction cost is about $1.8 billion for our first four incineration plants and $610 million for Semakau Landfill.
More importantly, the real challenge is whether we can change our current unsustainable materials economy and resource use, which follows a take-make-use-throw linear model, and shift towards a circular economy.
The unsustainable linear model uses natural and energy resources to produce goods and stuff, which are consumed and disposed of as waste, resulting in economic losses and environmental degradation.
For a better understanding of the materials economy and our waste challenge, watch The Story of Stuff below. The Story of Stuff is a 20-minute film by Annie Leonard, which takes an interesting look at our production and consumption patterns, and the connections between environmental and social issues. | <urn:uuid:f54d90fc-3f12-42cd-82aa-cc359d22cf68> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://kindearthph.com/blogs/news/zero-waste-movement-what-it-is-in-a-bubble | 2024-04-21T20:05:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.937898 | 1,224 |
The Ministries of Environment and Agriculture are pleased to release the Invasive Species Framework to help manage the threat and impact of invasive species in Saskatchewan, such as purple loosestrife, zebra mussels and mountain pine beetles.
Developed with the help of partners inside and outside of government, the framework outlines a province-wide approach to managing invasive species. It ensures that all provincial invasive species prevention and management efforts are aligned, and establishes a foundation for future strategies, programs and committees.
“In Saskatchewan we enjoy an abundance of natural resources, but invasive species create significant risks to our ecosystem,” Environment Minister Dana Skoropad said. “The Invasive Species Framework will be key to helping us achieve the goals related to agriculture, forestry and tourism in the Saskatchewan Growth Plan, as well as protect our environment for future generations.”
The framework focuses on four key pillars:
- Prevent Entry of invasive species through education, legislation and surveillance.
- Prevent Establishment of invasive species through early detection and rapid response.
- Respond to Establishment through containment and eradication.
- Adaptation to established invasive species, when removal is no longer practical, through management planning.
“Invasive species costs thousands of dollars in damage to crops and rangeland and can result in market access issues with our trading partners,” Agriculture Minister David Marit said. “This framework is important in protecting the agriculture sector.”

Putting yourself at risk in the third world is harder than you think!
08.07.2007 - 16.07.2007 50 °C
Three days it took to get that piece of paper through that slot in the window. Three days of mauling in 45 degree heat like an All Black at the world cup. Three days.... only to be told "No Sir, you must apply in Islamabad" by the white collared official who was dealing with all 73 Visa applications that day.
"No I'm not going to Islamabad it's too dangerous!" I stammered in frustrated disbelief.
"Then book a flight to India" he retorted
"Can't…. travelling overland" I replied.
"We don't issue visas to people travelling overland, it's too dangerous" He smirked envisioning the danger.
"Yeah but..." I trailed off as I saw the look of nonchalance on his face and lost my purchase on the window to be spat out of the crowd like I had been caught in an avalanche.
At this point I could hear the clock ticking as I had to meet a friend in Delhi in 10 days and hadn't even got the application through the window. As a last ditch effort I rang Mat from the New Zealand Embassy who I had met on the first day of the visa sager when I had to get a letter of Introduction three days ago and had the following conversation.
"Ah Yeah Kia Ora Mate I need a Letter for these plonkers at the Indian Embassy" I muttered into the intercom in my thickest Kiwi accent.
"Yes okay sir, are you a New Zealand citizen?" was the reply.
'What do you think you doughnut'......... "Ah yes sir" I replied
Now being on my own little patch of Aotearoa in the Middle East things still went as smoothly as I had hoped. I had my letter in two shakes of a lamb’s tail and Mat even come out and had a chin wag about my trip that went along these lines.
"So where are you from?" he asked.
"Te Kuiti" I beamed.
"Oh yeah I'm from Taupo, do you know such and such? Wow travelling overland that’s quite a trip"
"Yeah I know, once in a lifetime" I smiled
"Pakistan is really dangerous at the moment I don’t advise you to travel through it. Balunchestan it's the Wild West down there."
"Yeah so I heard" I smiled meekly
"So I am going to finish up here in a month and study in the states?
"Islamabad is about to kick off, some gun men have taken over a mosque and Quetta that was where that guy had his head cut off"
"Righty ho, I'll be right mate"
"So how was London?" he asked
Be careful around Zahiden people have been getting shot there lately
"Will do mate, well thanks for the letter".........'and the pep talk'.
"Yeah Mat, Dave, hey these guys won't give me a visa aye" I seethed down the mobile phone I had borrowed from a guy who had been queuing with me for the last two days.
"Alright mate give me 15 minutes and I’ll see what I can do for ya" he replied.
14 minutes later I was in an office being yelled at by an Indian man in a blue shirt.
"I have just had your Embassy on the phone telling me that we are putting you in danger by sending you to Islamabad" he yelled.
“You are!" I said flatly, looking directly into his eyes.
"Okay so what do you want?" he screamed.
"A tourist visa" I retorted meeting his volume.
"When do you want it?"
"Sunday, and I want to pick it up in Zahiden!"
"Zahiden?" he said turning a scarlet
"Yes Zahiden Sunday!" I said not believing where this was going.
"Fine" he said showing me out of his office
"Fine" I said still matching his raised voice.
Sitting in a hotel room in Shraiz feeling a little nervous doing my last minute preparations of hiding 70 quid in my shoes and stashing my passport and remaining money down pant’s internal pocket I shouldered my back pack took a deep breath and headed to the bus station.
"Are you sure you want to go to Zahidan Mister" the ticket inspector asked?
"Ah yes" was my quizzical reply.
A few hours into the journey the two young lads started up. After the usual where are you from questions I was asked to give my opinion on sex, religion and politics in that order. In these guys opinions, you just went to a bar, snapped your fingers and the girls in the West would come home with you. Their English and the stubborn pre-conceptions made it very hard for me to break this change of thought. In fact he was convinced that if I took his email address I could give it to girls in my country and get him a wife.
I had to laugh when they found out that I planned to go to Pakistan from Iran. The second one started up "why you go there, its very dangerous many bad people!" I felt like saying funny they said the exact same thing when I said I was heading to Iran. At this stage the Pakistani guy sitting beside me spoke up in defence of his country and before I knew it a heated debate over Islam had raging for half an hour with lots of gesturing at me with no explanation, I sunk lower and lower into my seat and watch the never changing desert scenery.
The next morning as the sun rose over the rocky horizon I noticed a mud brick tower on a slight rise just on the side of the road. Outside were four Toyota pick ups one with a 50 cal. machine gun mounted on the roof. As we passed a man dressed in a white Baluchi with a turban came off the tower yawning and stretching with an Ak47 in that same out stretched hand. Then to my absolute horror a second man out the front of the tower broke into a smile as our eyes locked for a split second as the bus whizzed by. These guys definitely weren't solders and I spent the next thirty minutes trying to ward off a heart attack.
Zahidan was a dusty frontier full of mud brick houses and shifty looking bearded men and nervous boy solders. I had to wait outside the Indian embassy for 3 hours until it opened a 9am. I made friends with the police officers guarding the Consulate and sat and drunk tea and showed them photos of Iran. The first clue I may have been over my head was the machete sitting besides the driver’s seat in the policeman’s personal car. Then the next shock came when the policeman’s replacement came, as this man was getting changed into his uniform for his shift he asked his mate to pass over his side arm. To my horror I watched as this man pointed the weapon at his mate’s head slowly squeezing the trigger. From my vantage point on the floor I could see that it had bullets in the breach, all I could do was hold my breath and wait for the bang. The policeman’s child who was sitting on the bottom bunk thought that this was a great game and was giggling away with his father holding the gun. Then he spun and faced me broke open the revolving breach holding the 6 bullets tipped them into his hand passed one to me for a look then passed the ammunition and the gun to the new policeman, all the time laughing and smiling like it was a water pistol. I quietly excused myself and went for a walk to find breakfast.
Back in the consulate I was the only one there and was seen to with a minimal wait. To my dismay I was told the consulate knew nothing of me and that I should come back in the afternoon. I had hoped to cross the border this day minimizing my exposure to this area which was only a hundred kilometres from the Afghani border and drug smuggling and bandits were rife.
Returning in the afternoon I was told to come back tomorrow and I could get my visa. I then spent the rest of the afternoon walking around in the 50c heat trying to find a place to stay. I walked across town and was waiting outside the consol bang on 9am. My man told me that I could get my visa in the afternoon, which, due to the border closing at 4pm meant one more night in the bustling metropolis of Zahidan.
This time a young bolshie man from the Gulf area walked me to a cheap hotel that flipped out when I couldn't produce a passport or visa. (It was in the Consulate) They also confined me to my room saying that if I wanted to go anywhere I was to arrange a police escort through them. I found this laughable seeing that I had been walking around town for a day and a half now without being taken hostage and making home videos for any wantabe terrorists.
My usual three policemen picked me up in the morning, two of them armed with AK47's and all smiles. They drove me out to the edge of town passing all the black market fuel sellers with a blind eye. Petrol is rationed to 3L per day so there is a huge demand for black market fuel which they sell blatantly at extortionate prices right outside the gas stations. We parked up on the edge of town; I watch families washing and collecting water from a communal tap. I was then ferried into another car with 3 even younger cops. The driver thought he was in a Die Hard movie and took off wheels screaming. He had me at the taxi stand in 5 minutes flat, took down my details, took down the taxi's details that I was to travel in, manhandled me into the taxi office out of sight of the gathering crowd and then left me there to wait till the taxi became full.
I waited nervously as the driver signed in with the police at the first check point. It was like the moment you hang your legs out of the plane during a sky dive you really don't want to make your body leap but you know in reality that you have passed the point of no return. | <urn:uuid:fac4652f-f181-403a-ae7b-25e92d947db6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://kiwisdontfly.travellerspoint.com/26/ | 2024-04-21T20:28:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.985159 | 2,142 |
Dozens of Pet Parakeets Dumped at West Houston Park
Can you believe this? Almost 50 parakeets have been discovered/rescued from the Archbishop Joseph A. Fiorenza Park in west Houston this week. Someone decided to just dump them in the park. Area residents tried desperately to round them up and rescue them from cold weather and predators.
Wfaa.com reports the birds are budgies, also called parakeets, and were found off Eldridge Parkway. The group who took action managed to rescue about 30 of the birds but acknowledged that some of the birds retreated to spots they just couldn't get to.
Rescuers reported that a hawk was seen attacking some of the parakeets and onlookers couldn't stand to see the birds so helpless as they say it was obvious they had never been in the wild before. The birds had no idea what was happening as the hawk continued to circle back and pick them off one at a time. Yikes!
Rescuers in the park say this is the second time that pet birds have been dumped near Archbishop Joseph A. Fiorenza Park. Police are in possession of photos that show empty bird containers placed near the trash cans at the park. Talk about giving someone the bird! | <urn:uuid:907a4aad-8bac-4482-93b2-ecf5124f4ce1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://kixs.com/dozens-of-pet-parakeets-dumped-at-west-houston-park/ | 2024-04-21T21:02:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.987981 | 259 |

Glyphosate is the world’s most popular weedkiller. It has been used in agriculture and gardens for decades, yet its safety remains a controversial topic.
Glyphosate has been linked to cancer, although some studies have shown it to be safe when used as directed. However, it remains controversial and with the climate shifting towards sustainability and ethical farming, is there a safer alternative?
This article will explore the science behind glyphosate and provide an overview of the controversy surrounding this commonly-used herbicide.
We’ll look at what makes glyphosate so effective, how it works in plants, and why it might pose health risks to humans who are exposed to large amounts of this chemical compound.
Finally, we’ll examine some potential strategies for reducing your risk if you choose to use glyphosate on your property or garden.
The science behind the product
Glyphosate is a potent herbicide that has been widely used to control weeds in agricultural and residential areas for over four decades. It is a broad-spectrum systemic weedkiller, meaning it is able to target a wide range of grasses, broadleaf weeds and other plants. The active ingredient in glyphosate binds tightly to many organic materials and is highly soluble in water.
It works by inhibiting the growth of weeds, particularly those in the grass family. The active ingredient in glyphosate works by blocking the enzyme EPSP synthase, which is necessary for plant growth and development. This blocking effect prevents plants from producing the essential amino acids they need to survive, resulting in death within a few days.
Glyphosate is effective because it is highly soluble and can easily spread through soil and water. It also binds tightly to many organic materials, meaning that once it enters an environment, it can stay there for a long time. Of course, this means that glyphosate can be carried away by runoff and eventually enter into nearby water sources, which is one of the main environmental concerns associated with its use.
How does Glyphosate work
Glyphosate is a herbicide used in agriculture and home gardens to control weeds. It works by targeting a plant enzyme called 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSP), which is essential for the synthesis of certain amino acids that are necessary for plant growth.
When this enzyme is blocked, the plants can no longer produce these amino acids and will eventually die. Glyphosate also binds tightly to soil particles, so it can stay active in the environment even after it has been applied. This means that glyphosate can continue to kill weeds long after its application, making it an effective tool for weed control.
Glyphosate is a broad-spectrum herbicide, meaning that it affects many different types of plants. It also breaks down quickly in soil and water, so it does not linger in the environment for long periods.
However, glyphosate has been associated with some negative environmental impacts, including the death of beneficial organisms like bees and other pollinators.
Health effect on plant growth
There are reports of both positive and negative impacts on plants when exposed to glyphosate, depending on the type of plant, concentration level, and environmental conditions.
In general, studies suggest that glyphosate can reduce overall plant biomass production by reducing photosynthesis rates as well as affecting nutrient uptake from soils.
Additionally, there is evidence that suggests glyphosate may induce oxidative stress in some plants leading to reduced root development and stunted growth.
Furthermore, research indicates that long-term exposure to high levels of glyphosate may lead to increased susceptibility to diseases or pests which can further affect overall plant health and productivity.
Health concerns associated with glyphosate
Glyphosate has been linked to cancer in some studies, although the scientific data remains controversial. The health risks associated with the use of glyphosate are still largely unknown.
A recent review by the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer concluded that glyphosate “is probably carcinogenic to humans.” However, further research is needed to assess its potential human health risks.
Other studies have explored the potential reproductive and developmental effects of glyphosate exposure, with some suggesting that it could cause birth defects in humans. While these claims remain largely unproven, it is important to note that many of the studies exploring these links were conducted on laboratory animals and may not be applicable to humans.
The long-term effects of glyphosate exposure are also unclear, and there is some evidence that it may cause genetic mutations in humans or animals.
Data accumulated in 2015 shows just how much Glyphosate is used around the world in agriculture in the production of higher-yielding crops. See the images below.

Is Glyphosate still effective?
Despite the controversy surrounding glyphosate, many people continue to use it for weed control. There are strategies for reducing your risk when using this herbicide, including wearing protective clothing and avoiding contact with the chemical when possible. It is also important to read the directions on the label and follow them carefully. This will help you ensure that you are using glyphosate safely and effectively.
As more research is conducted on the effects of glyphosate, it’s becoming increasingly clear that this chemical may not be as effective at controlling weeds over time as it once was.
Glyphosate remains a controversial topic, but it is clear that this herbicide can be an effective tool for controlling weeds. It is important to understand the science behind glyphosate, as well as the potential risks that come with its use. With this knowledge, you can make informed decisions about how and when to use glyphosate on your property or garden. | <urn:uuid:7cd6c6bb-5e0d-410d-96c0-ff7796bb1402> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://knotweedremoval.tips/glyphosate-the-science-behind-the-most-popular-weedkiller/ | 2024-04-21T20:42:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.963001 | 1,151 |

Idling vehicles can compound pollution on bad air days, study says
Jul 27, 2023, 5:00 PM
(Tom Smart/Deseret News)
SALT LAKE CITY — A new study by researchers at the University of Utah found that emissions from idling vehicles in COVID-19 testing lines caused an increase in local pollution hotspots in the testing area.
Researchers monitored the air quality at drive-through COVID testing sites to gather data.
They found workers providing COVID tests were potentially exposed to elevated levels of pollution on days with temperature inversions.
Monitoring the air at COVID-19 testing sites provided an opportunity to study the impacts of idling vehicles. At some points, drivers found themselves waiting in line for hours, the press release said.
There were three locations where researchers monitored PM2.5 concentrations. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, PM stands for particulate matter. The ‘2.5’ refers to “fine inhalable particles, with diameters that are generally 2.5 micrometers and smaller.” These particles are small enough to reach the deepest parts of our lungs. Potentially, they can also make their way into our bloodstreams.
Researchers monitored three locations. They chose Highland High School, the Utah Department of Workforce Services, and the State Fairgrounds. They are all located in different parts of the Wasatch Front.
The press release said the testing sites they monitored were farther away from roads and other pollution sources.
Daniel Mendoza, an assistant research professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Utah, said the number of visitors dropped very quickly during the study period, from more than 100 tests per day in January to around a dozen per day in April.
“Admittedly, we wished we had been able to deploy in early to mid-January when people would wait up to four hours to test,” said Mendoza.
Testing site operators reported peaks in traffic at the beginning and end of each testing day. The drive-through pattern is more similar to that of a bank than a fast-food restaurant, the press release said.
According to Mendoza, COVID changed people’s behaviors substantially when it comes to drive-throughs. “It is seen as a way to minimize exposure and increase convenience but there are negative side effects,” said Mendoza.
Idling vehicles and inversions
The bowl-like geography of the Wasatch Front typically leads to unhealthy air quality in the winter.
When the air in the valley is cold and the air above is warm, the cold air gets trapped in the valley, along with all the emissions created by cars and buildings. This is known as a temperature inversion, according to the University of Utah.
The emissions put particles and chemicals from cars and buildings into the air. Those chemicals, however, aren’t the only things in the air.
Chemical reactions also happen in the atmosphere. Some of the particles from these chemicals and chemical reactions create particles smaller than 2.5 microns in diameter.
Understanding of the effects these particles have is still evolving, said the University of Utah’s press release. Despite the evolving understanding, researchers said they do know they are not good to be breathing.
The study performed by the University of Utah researchers showed that days without inversions saw lower levels of PM2.5 concentrations at the COVID testing sites being monitored, even when idling vehicles were present.
On days with inversions, however, testing sites had comparable, or even higher PM2.5 concentrations than at the Utah Division of Air Quality monitoring stations.
Researchers said the testing sites were located farther from other pollution sources than sensors used by the UDAQ.
“During inversions, because the air is stagnant, the hyper-local pollution (the cars idling at testing sites) remains in situ (the original place) and sometimes enhances the pollution readings compared to the UDAQ sites,” said Mendoza.
According to Mendoza, the drop in car traffic during the study period enhances the significance of the effect of even a little idling on hyper-local air quality.
“Although the first car in line – the one with occupants being tested – was asked to turn off their engine, the cars behind it may not have done that,” said Mendoza. He also believes masks protected them from COVID, but healthcare workers were likely still vulnerable to the effects of air pollution.
Reducing air pollution
“This study demonstrates the importance of weighing the potential negative impacts to health and safety that an event utilizing drive-throughs,” said Corbin Anderson, manager at the Air Quality Bureau for Salt Lake County Health Department. According to Anderson, event organizers should consider the impact their event might have on participants, event workers, and the local, micro-environment air quality.
“Air quality impact should be a primary criterion for deciding how to conduct the event,” said Anderson.
The press release said drivers can minimize pollution caused by idling by shutting off their engines whenever possible. Salt Lake City has banned unnecessary idling — when a car is running for more than two minutes.
Mendoza said the researchers’ next step is to measure air quality in areas containing multiple drive-throughs. They are also considering measurements in a busy drive-through. They hope to further explore the effects of idling on local air quality.
The study is published in the journal Environmental Research: Health. | <urn:uuid:d5c637a1-da8a-47ba-b0b6-ec660023e024> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://kslnewsradio.com/2022412/idling-vehicles-can-compound-pollution-on-bad-air-days-study-says/ | 2024-04-21T21:20:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.965339 | 1,144 |

This post proposes the integration of a new core function, named “fraction,” into the brc-20 protocol to improve the experience of token transfers for all users. Given that simplicity is the fundamental tenet of the brc-20 standard, the suggestion to introduce an additional core function was made with considerable deliberation and is not intended to become commonplace.
The fraction function is introduced to safeguard against unwanted transfer inscriptions that could disrupt tokens and disrupt a user’s operations.
The current brc-20 protocol allows anyone to create transfer inscriptions to any address. Although this accessibility allows for the use of inscription tools, it also opens the door for potentially disruptive actors to fragment users’ balances and interfere with their activities.To date, there has been very little evidence of these “attacks” occurring.
By incorporating the fraction function directly into the brc-20 protocol, specific validity conditions are enforced on transfers. This measure is intended to deter attackers by making it more difficult and costly to execute such annoyances.
The fraction function is intended to be a core part of the brc-20 protocol and is not well-suited for modular implementation. It will set the permissible range for transfer amounts and/or required minimum padding for creating a valid transfer inscription.
An example of the proposed implementation is as follows:
A user can apply this inscription to the address holding the balance they want to limit. After inscribing, they would initiate it by transferring the inscription to their own address. TAs per the given example, this would mandate that all incoming transfer inscriptions (inscribe-transfer) must specify an “amt” within the range of 10 to 10,000, and the padding/postage must exceed 100,000 satoshis.
The fraction function validity conditions and rules:
- If min omitted, min = 0.
- If max omitted, max = ticker.max.
- Pad is not required.
- min <= max.
- The validity of the minimum and maximum values is not contingent upon the currently available balance and should fall within the 0 to maximum range of the tick.
- If the available balance is lower than min, inscribe-transfer cannot be performed. This effectively locks the balance in its available form.
- padding > 0.
- If the tick has not been deployed, fraction function is invalid.
The average user won’t need to use this function. It only impacts the initial stage of the transfer inscription process (inscribe-transfer) and does not influence the subsequent actual transfer of valid inscriptions. Consequently, users who apply the padding condition can remove extra satoshis from the transfer inscription UTXO during the final stage of the transfer. Furthermore, those deploying tokens can utilize the min/max settings for a distribution mechanism resembling an Ethereum-style airdrop experience (claimdrop). This update also aims to foster innovation by providing security for bridges and relay mechanisms.
Various alternative options were also considered, including requiring the attachment of signatures to transfer inscriptions, requiring the use of a UTXO from a specified address when generating transfer inscriptions, or tracking the satoshis spent from a balance holding wallet. However, these approaches led to complexity, effected user experience, and added new attack vectors. If you have another innovative approach, please share your thoughts in the discussion below.
As this represents the first significant amendment since the protocol’s launch, community feedback on its advantages and possible drawbacks is encouraged. The initial deadline is set for two weeks; however, it may be extended if consensus is not reached within this timeframe. The subsequent phase will address the front-running challenges prevalent in meta-protocols. | <urn:uuid:ca388dfd-b732-4df8-9d7c-c17822c64123> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://l1f.discourse.group/t/brc-20-core-function-cleanup-phase-1/118 | 2024-04-21T20:08:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.907144 | 767 |
Night to Shine: A Sparkling Event!
Lakeland Regional High School participated in Night to Shine held at St. Francis of Assisi Church, the first in-person event since the Covid-19 pandemic, on February 9, 2023. Night to Shine is a way to make teens feel special, spend time with friends, and most importantly, have a ton of fun.
When interviewed with the Lancer Ledger, Ms. Jamie Haftek, LRHS’ CORE teacher, said, “The best part of the event is watching each of the guests arrive and watching each of the guests be crowned kings and queens.” Their faces light up at being so celebrated, and it is a truly special moment.
Lakeland’s STEP teacher, Ms. STEP Karen McCormack, also has a favorite part of the night. “I believe the best part of Night to Shine for the guests is the opportunity they have to independently dine, dance and celebrate with their peers in a festive setting, allowing them to shine! Whether they prefer to sing karaoke, play games, take pictures in the photo booths or dance the night away, each guest is treated like a king or queen,” said.
“Setting up Night to Shine…includes collecting donations from all over town, securing a building as well as limos, a DJ, caterers, etc. It also includes people behind the scenes making sure we have guests signing up to attend, making notes of any needs or requests that the guests may have. Decorations also need to be purchased, donated and assembled for the evening and over 250 volunteers need to be secured to host the evening. There is a whole lot involved in running an event such as Night to Shine,” Ms. Haftek shared.
Before the event, the teens dress up in their nicest evening tux, or their prettiest gowns. Then they are driven away in style, and picked up by a limousine that takes them to the hall. Upon arrival, they walk down a red carpet and get the true royal treatment.
Lakeland began participating in Night to Shine about six years ago. With the height of Covid-19, the event has been held virtually over the last two years, so it was great to have a sense of normalcy again.
Next year’s Night to Shine will be held on February 9, 2024. If anyone is interested in volunteering they should follow the “Night to Shine LAKELAND” social media pages for registration information.
Night to Shine was first launched in 2014 by the Tim Tebow Foundation, because of its passion for people with special needs. The initial idea was to work with churches and create an unforgettable prom-like experience centered around God’s love. The incredible event now gives teens with special needs the opportunity to experience a magical prom night they will never forget.

6 rows from the top of the stadium, but in the stadium, no less. This is what a 7th inning, post season comeback looks like (or perhaps it was the altitude…) |
I do love this place. |
And then they won… the WORLD SERIES!! |
Enjoying the celebration parade for our World Series Champion team, the Royals, with 500,000 of my friends… |
I’ve not written a post in over a month and I’m blaming it on baseball. Now that the season, followed by the post season, followed by the World Series, has come to its conclusion, I’m trying to remember what I used to do with the 3 plus hours 5 or 6 times a week that I used to have before baseball filled that time. I’m sure I’m not the only one who feels a bit behind in their life. Although I’ve devoted the length of one hand knitted sweater, 3 knitted baby caps, a major photo reorganization and another knitted sweater that went terribly wrong to the endless hours of baseball watching, my participation pales compared to my sister’s. While she’s questioning strategy and commenting on fastballs, breaking balls and change ups, I’m commenting on beards, brows and, well, I’ve got to say it, butts. She has earned her opportunity to wear Royals tee shirts or the whole darn uniform if that’s what she wants to do because of her unwavering dedication during the season, whereas I did the buying then started working on the earning part of the equation. Still, we can both call ourselves fans who without hesitation got our wallets out and didn’t hesitate to go deep to make it to a play off game, and I’ve got to admit, I’m still a bit surprised by that.
If someone would have told me when I started this blog, a few years ago, that I’d writing a post about sports, I’d deny it, simply because I’m not a passionate sports fan, or at least that’s what I thought. I think I may have been wrong. Now before you start scrolling to the end, fearing I’m going to start spewing sports stats, rest assured, I won’t, although I must say, and much to my surprised self, stats have streamed from my mouth more than once during this past month and I’m so excited when the bait is taken and a conversation ensues. Seriously? Who IS that person???. In my humble, doesn’t know much about sports opinion, baseball seems to be a very easy sport to cut your sports fan teeth on. And boy have I.
Those teeth weren’t cut on my own experiences with the sport, unfortunately, or maybe not so unfortunately given that the one summer I got to try my hand at the game, new glove and all, the only stop I ever made with the ball was with my head. Things went seriously south after that and I couldn’t wait for summer to be over and my timid participation with the team complete. Robin, on the other baseball-gloved hand, was told by her teammates during her short run with the sport, to step into the ball and try to get hit as it was a sure fire way to get to base, which she found to be the easier option. Give us roller skates, or hula hoops or a bar on a swing set for skin the cats, but leave the bats and balls for someone else, I’m afraid. I do, however, have very fond memories of baseball as a kid, but hardly while wearing that stiff leather glove on my left hand. My Grandpa loved baseball and enjoyed playing the sport as a young man. When I hear a game on the radio, I can’t help but think of him on his porch swing listening to the Kansas City Athletics games on his transistor radio. It is the sound of summer and comfort to me.
I was lucky enough to see a World Series game in 1985, 30 years ago, when I was 30, which was all very exciting, but it paled in comparison to what I was feeling last night, 30 years later, when we won again. I didn’t feel the connection to the team that I feel now and have to think that the tremendous change in communication has a whole lot to do with it. If I had a thought about Saberhagen or Brett or White or any of the other guys who represented the Kansas City Royals in the 1985 World Series, I most likely kept it to myself, or possibly shared it with those seated near me in the stands along with the handful of people that would hear my stories post game. There was no social media love, no connections to players after seeing videos of amazing plays or post game comments, but rather, a narrow window that the print and broadcast media had total dibs on, and if you missed it… well, you missed it. It also had to be good enough information to share that you were willing to pay for a long distance call to chat with someone who didn’t happen to share your area code. None of the current Royals players have graced my dinner table, met me for coffee or texted me their ideas on something, yet I feel like I know them, as do thousands and thousands of other fans, simply because of what’s been shared.
In a time when so many of us are polarized with issues running the gamut from political to ethical and all points in between, it really does feel like a gift to think that most people who love or like or even tolerate baseball, all wanted the same thing a few nights ago, and that was for “their” team to win, and in Kansas City, that was our beloved Royals. I thought about that a lot, while sandwiched in between thousands of devoted fans, most who probably weren’t even alive during our last big win, while we watched together at the Power and Light District. So many different races, cultures, religions and political persuasions, yet we all were on the same fan page while we celebrated our hometown team’s well-deserved victory. There’s something about that coming together, if only for a few pages on the calendar, that feels reassuring to me. And comforting. And maybe even a little bit safe. If we can do that at a baseball game…well…
The high from last night’s win will stay with us for a long time and I know that many of us are going to find difficulty in letting it go and getting back to our lives. We’re simply not ready to let it go… yet… and we’re certainly not done talking about it and because of that, I think I am beginning to understand the value of sports talk radio.
I like a good post event rehash, and don’t know a woman who doesn’t, yet can remember trying to get my former husband, or any male for that matter, to chime in on a rehash on any post event situation, only to get a shrug and a head shake and maybe a mumble about what the hell is a rehash anyway and is it really necessary? For those of you who don’t know what a rehash is, it is going over and over, (often to a point of ad nauseam), the details of an event, applicable to not only big events, but the smallest and simplest as well. It’s our outward continuation to something that we’re not internally quite ready to let go of, hence our need to linger, especially when the memory is a good one. In other words, it is exactly what happens on a sports radio call in show. I have found a new landing spot on my radio dial and as of late, it has taken over the spot where NPR once claimed top billing, and although this is a temporary adjustment, I’m still a bit surprised by it. Holy sports fans… I’ve become a talk radio junkie! More specifically, a SPORTS talk radio junkie. I listened, off and on all day yesterday to recaps, rehashes and a whole lot of reliving moments we never want to forget, case in point, the 12th inning of the 2015 World Series game. After a few hours of listening, even once or twice reaching for my phone to call in, only to stop myself with a quick “snap out of it” adjustment, I came to the huge realization all this calling in and replaying verbally what we all saw less than 24 hours ago, is nothing more than a major rehash. When a man called in yesterday and 10 seconds into the conversation began to sob only to have the quivering voiced announcer try to talk him off of the emotional sports wall, but not before sobbing out a few of his own baseball memories, it dawned on me that, deny it all you want men, but you guys (and I know, I’m being very sexist in my generalization here, but it is predominately men who call in as per my observations) OWN a good rehash and I’m right there with you on all the “let’s tell it again, but use different words” analogies, even realizing that I could be a respected contributor, even if it was to suggest a baby name for the soon to be new father of our 2nd baseman. Hey, it all falls under the big umbrella of sports talk, right? Be proud my fellow sports fans and call it what you may, but you guys own rehashing!!
I’ve worn the exact same outfit to the last 5 social events I’ve been invited to with no apologies, have given sports radio a permanent spot on my radio dial, have spewed strings of stats to strangers and have waited for an amount of time that I’m embarrassed to admit in a line to buy a shirt that confirms our win in the World Series and all of this surprises me because call it what you want, but I’m starting to think I may have just become a very big baseball fan. Last year, after the heartbreaking loss in the World Series, I had to wonder if getting emotionally involved with the sport was such a good idea for me as it sure was easier when I didn’t care, but I’m in it too deep to start wading over to the shallow end now. Watching this group of incredible team players grace my TV, night, after night, after extra innings night, I’m calling myself a real life, love the sport, fan and that makes me very proud. When the announcer on one of the sports talk radio shows today talked about baseball as being far more than “just a sport” then going further by saying “sports ARE life,” I had to pause a moment because those words seemed to hold far more than I was willing to give them… then again, was it not “just a sport” that united groups who in other situations could have easily shown their differences with violence and aggression? Or “just a sport” who has reminded so many of us that we really do live in a very nice, very amazing city? Or “just a sport” that had so many of us tuned into the same show for 5 hours on Sunday night followed by celebrations that led to no arrests, no fighting, no gunshots and no cars set on fire? Well, it’s “just a sport” that will have me mingling with a half million other like-minded fans to celebrate a team that has brought far more than the love of a game to the city of Kansas City.
Plain and simple, I’m calling this my preamble to a post game rehash, less the call in phone number. Die hard sports fans, I know you get this…and now, I do too. | <urn:uuid:ade996a6-0018-4e6f-9306-bef1298575d1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lauriesunderland.com/2015/11/ | 2024-04-21T21:33:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.975519 | 2,493 |
Costa Ricas hot springs were an incredible introduction to the enjoyment and rejuvenation obtained in this exotic grandeur. The mineral-laden seas on the horny springs in Costa Rica have been used for restorative reasons behind over two centuries, treating multiple injuries. No matter if you visit for any mystic recovery, a hot springs stop by is definitely a joy!
Tabacon Resort Breathtaking Springs
Created by eruptive springs heated up below ground and returned to the symptoms, the Costa Rica very hot springs provide vacationers the ability to relax and renew in mineral-laden waters. Below, magma or lava spent some time working their way up by the Earths crust to relatively superficial absolute depths underneath the exterior. Groundwater percolates downward, comes in contact with the beautiful rock and is particularly warmed. | <urn:uuid:dfb356ab-fb17-4eeb-94b0-15d97e0b6cbe> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://laurus.es/category/birmingham-escort-ads-2/ | 2024-04-21T20:40:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.930479 | 161 |

Action for the price A claim for a sum of money promised to be paid under the contract.
Agent A person who is authorized by the principal to enter into contracts with third parties on the principal's behalf.
Arbitration Signing up to arbitration is a bit like paying for private medical treatment; businesses do it because they do not want to rely on the state run system. Arbitration provides an alternative judicial forum where the parties have more control over the procedure and timing of the hearing and, most importantly to commercial parties, the proceedings and judgment are private and confidential (unless they end up in the courts on appeal from the arbitrator!).
Assignment The transfer of some property or right of action from the original owner (the assignor) to the new owner (the assignee).
Avoid Executory contracts (contracts where neither party has performed) may be avoided for misrepresentation. It is not appropriate to talk of recission because there are no benefits to be returned. Avoiding a contract for misrepresenting is different to a contract which is void ab initio (void from the start) e.g. because of a mistake in communication (see chapter 8).
Collateral contract A contract which exists alongside the main contract and which has separate consideration, sometimes provided by a different person, to that in the main contract.
Condition Terms of the contract that give the right to terminate AND claim damages upon breach of the condition.
Constructive notice Applies when a party did not actually have notice of a particular event but the courts deem such notice usually because the party turned a blind eye or was negligent and ought to have had actual notice.
Contra proferentem 'Against the person proffering it, or putting it forward' and the exemption clause will be interpreted against the person seeking to rely on it so as to exclude their liability.
Contractual damages A monetary award aimed at putting the claimant in the position he would have been in if the other party had performed according to the contract.
Cost of cure The amount of money it would cost to pay someone else to complete the unfinished or defective performance.
Costs The court makes a costs order to determine who pays for the money spent on litigation. The court has a discretion to order costs as it sees fit but generally the losing party has to pay a large proportion of the winning parties' costs (and his own costs). Costs can be used to punish a party for wasting time (e.g. for alleging fraud when there was no evidence of fraud).
Damages in lieu of rescission This means that the court may award damages instead of allowing the parties to rescind the contract. Therefore the contract stands valid (it is not rewound) and the representee receives damages.
Damages The obligation to pay damages is a secondary obligation to pay a sum of money which arises in response to breach of a primary obligation (e.g. a contractual obligation or duty of care in tort). Damages for breach of contract are aimed at putting the claimant in the position as though the contract had been performed (see chapter 11 Damages). In contract, tortious damages are aimed at putting the claimant in the position as though the tort had not been committed.
Debtor and creditor A debtor is a person who owes money to his creditor. In a loan contract the borrower is a debtor and the lender is his creditor. The terms have wider meaning and are not restricted to loan agreements; for example, a supplier who provides goods 'on credit' (ie with payment to be made in the future) to a business is a creditor and the business is a debtor as the business owes the supplier the value of the goods.
Delivery warrants Pieces of paper which give the person holding them the right to demand delivery of the goods represented.
Duty defining terms Exclusion clauses traditionally wait for a liability to arise and then act to exclude this liability (see diagram 6.6). Duty defining terms act by defining the parties' obligations in such a way that the liability never arises. In both case one party will succeed in avoiding liability, either by exclusion or by definition.
Entire agreement clause May prevent one of the basic requirements for establishing a misrepresentation (inducement) from ever arising by stating that the parties have not relied upon any representations. More generally, the clause says that the entire agreement is contained in the written contract and all previous negotiations do not form part of the agreement (are not terms) and the 'no reliance' part is added to ensure that these non-terms cannot form misrepresentations.
Estoppel Designed to prevent unconscionable conduct and usually stops someone denying what he has said or done. Its potential scope can be very wide and vague.
Expectation interest The expectation interest equates to the net value of what the innocent party would have received if the contract had been performed.
Forfeiture clause A forfeiture clause provides that a party will lose a sum of money paid in advance (a deposit) if he breaches the contract.
Fraudulent misrepresentation This is established when a person makes a false statement which he knows is not true, has no belief in its truth, or makes recklessly, not caring whether it is true or not (Derry v Peek (1889)).
Garden leave When an employee gives notice (say the three months' required under his contract) that he wants to terminate his contract and his employer tells him not to bother coming to work for those months (mainly because he wants to avoid disruption and the leak of confidential information).
Guarantee A binding promise made by A to B to perform C's obligations owed to B if C fails to perform (e.g. C's failure to pay a debt to B).
Hire purchase Hire purchase is different to an outright sale of goods because the 'buyer' starts off by hiring the goods and paying an instalment fee (usually monthly) and it is only at the end of the term (say three years) that he finally purchases the goods with his final instalment. The total instalments add up to the value of the goods plus an amount for interest (usually a lot so check this before you take out one of these type of 'buy now pay later' deals) and so the effect is as though the 'buyer' had been lent the money and then used it to buy the goods. The point is that title remains with the 'seller' until the very end when the 'buyer' finally stops hiring and purchases the goods.
Innominate terms An innominate term is a third type of term, neither a condition nor a warranty; it is a kind of hybrid term because sometimes its breach gives a right to termination and sometimes it only gives a right to damages, depending on how serious the consequences of the breach are.
Interim injunction This type of injunction is a temporary measure designed to give relief until a full hearing can be arranged and a final order made. It is often used in emergencies where a quick judgment is necessary, for example to stop a newspaper from printing confidential information the next morning.
Invitation to treat Falls short of being an offer capable of binding acceptance; instead it is an invitation for the other party to make an offer, which the former party is free to accept or reject.
Lease An estate (a bundle of property rights) over land for a particular duration of time. It is carved out of the lessor's freehold estate (a bundle of timeless property rights) over the land and gives the lessee the right to uninterrupted occupation of the land for the duration of the lease.
Licence Does not give the licensee property rights in the land; instead it is merely a contract that gives him permission to be on the land.
'Marriage consideration' Marriage, or a promise to marry, could constitute consideration for a promise until it was abolished by the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1970 s.1.
Misrepresentation A false statement of fact made by one party to the other which induces that other party to enter into the contract.
Mutuality Can loosely be translated as 'matching;' if one party wants to claim specific performance then the other party must have been able to match this by claiming specific performance himself (it is not necessary that the other party does actually claim specific performance, just that he would have had the option to do so).
Negligence A party is negligent when he breaches a duty to take reasonable care; a claimant must therefore prove fault (in the sense that the defendant did not take reasonable care). The duty can be imposed by law (e.g. the tort of negligence) or by contract (where the parties agree to take reasonable care in performing their promises).
Negligent misrepresentation Established when a person makes a false statement which he may honestly believe to be true but without reasonable grounds for believing it to be true. See s.2(1) Misrepresentation Act 1967.
Nominal damages Usually just a couple of pounds, are awarded by the court to signify that there has been a breach of contract but no loss (or no loss proven).
Option An irrevocable promise by one party to another who may call for performance of the promise at any time up to a specified date.
Payor and payee The payor is the person paying money. The payee is the person being paid.
Penalty clauses Unenforceable because they penalize a party for his breach rather than provide a reasonable estimate of compensation to the other party for his loss (an agreed (or liquidated) damages clause).
Prospectus An information document published by a company when it wants to raise money on the public markets (e.g. by issuing shares on the Main List and admitting them for trading on the London Stock Exchange). It tells potential buyers what the company does and explains the various risks of investing in the company.
Quantum meruit The old name for a claim for the value of work done; the worker is allowed to claim 'as much as it deserves' which equates to 'reasonable renumeration'.
Recission A remedy that allows the parties to unwind the contract. Benefits transferred between the parties are returned to the original party. The aim is to put the parties in the position they were in before the contract. Sometimes a rescinded contract is referred to as set aside.
Reliance interest The extent to which the innocent party is worse off as a result of relying on the contract.
Repudiation A party who repudiates a contract effectively puts his hands up and says: 'I'm not able or don't want to perform anymore. I may have to pay you damages but let's bring this contract to an end.' He is letting the other party know in advance that he intends to breach his obligations and that the other party should accept his repudiation as terminating the contract (terminating any further obligations to perform) and be content with a claim for damages instead.
Restitution interest Focuses on the defendant's gain rather than the claimant's loss. The defendant has to give back or give up some or all of the profits that he made from the breach of contract.
Security Used to reassure a lender that he will get his money back. Security rights are taken over the property of the debtor (security right are therefore rights in rem – see Introduction) and can be enforced (e.g. by selling the property) if the debtor fails to repay the loan.
Set-off You have probably worked a one of these agreement hundreds of times in your life without realizing it. Very simply, if I owe you £20 and you buy goods off me for £15 then we can set-off the value of the goods from the £20 I owe you so that I now only owe you £5. It's easier than me paying you £20 and then you giving me £15 back.
Severable obligations These can be split off from the main obligations under the contract, as though the parties made lots of smaller promises, say to do the work incrementally. Each 'mini-obligation' can give rise to an obligation to pay on performance by the other party of the work required under the 'mini-obligation'.
Strict liability Describes a no-fault obligation; e.g. the obligation on the seller of goods to provide goods which are of satisfactory quality which does not depend on whether the seller is at fault and which is broken even if the reason for the defect is the fault of the manufacturer. The promise to provide satisfactory goods is strict and is not simply a promise to take reasonable care.
Title Has a complex meaning and you are likely to study it in more detail in property or land law. For present purposes, it is sufficient to imagine it as the ultimate and most powerful property rights over goods; whoever holds these property rights is the owner of the goods and can prevent anyone from interfering with his goods.
Trust One of Equity's most distinctive creations; arises where one person, the trustee, is the nominal and legal owner of property but holds it in trust for the benefit of another, the beneficiary, who is otherwise known as the equitable or beneficial owner.
Underwriting Another word for insurance. For example, if a company issues shares (equity) or bonds (debt) then a bank will underwrite the issue and guarantee that the company will get the money it needs even if the share or bond issue fails to raise the necessary amount.
Void contracts Not contracts at all; they have never amounted to a contract and they never will. A label used by the court to signify that the issue of whether there was a contract was in dispute but, on the facts, there was no contract.
Voidable contracts These are best thought of as valid but damaged contracts; the courts have decided that there is a defect in the contract (i.e. in the case of misrepresentation, that the claimant was induced to entered into the contract by a false statement) and so the claimant is given the option to rescind the contract or affirm it and carry on as normal.
Warranty (1st sense) A term of the contract, as opposed to a representation which is not part of the contract. A warranty constitutes a promise or guarantee which, if broken, automatically entitles the other party to damages to make good the promise.
Warranty (2nd sense) Used to describe a term of a contract that is not a condition and gives the right to damages but not termination upon breach of the warranty. | <urn:uuid:2346cce1-9700-4b9a-80ce-13e83f52d3ee> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://learninglink.oup.com/access/content/taylor-directions7e-student-resources/taylor-directions7e-alphabetical-glossary | 2024-04-21T21:18:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.962013 | 2,980 |
Kees van der Pijl is a Dutch political scientist who is emeritus professor of international relations at the University of Sussex. He is known for his critical approach to global political economy and has published, amongst others, a trilogy on Modes of Foreign Relations and Political Economy (2007, 2010, 2014); Global Rivalries from the Cold War to Iraq (2006); Transnational Classes and International Relations (1998); and The Making of an Atlantic Ruling Class.
Kees van der Pijl was interviewed by George Souvlis and Yulia Yurchenko.
Q1: Would you like to present yourself by focusing on the formative experiences (academic and political) that have strongly influenced you?
My generation was a lucky one, the baby-boomers whose society was in competition with state socialism, our own social order discredited by the Great Depression and two world wars. So capitalism was compelled to show a human face (at home, not in southeast Asia, Africa or Latin America, of course). Although coming from a very modest background, I was able to study for practically nothing, enjoy quality schooling compared to what is offered today, and profit from other social provision and protection. It was generally a Spartan but optimistic environment to grow up in. From my background in the declining petty bourgeoisie of small shopkeepers, I also inherited a mentality of hard work, not counting on others, and a penchant for not trusting the high and mighty (that turned out very useful, too).
So when my generation experienced first-hand what is now recognised as the moment the capitalist class called into question the post-war class compromise forced upon it by Depression and war, and we ourselves burst onto the scene with a permissive culture breaking with the rigidities of reconstruction Cold War Europe, we were relatively well-trained, hungry for a different world (socialism in any form), and optimistic.
Yet at the time I personally completely failed to see what Wolfgang Streeck has called the three successive attempts by Western governments (inflation, state debt, private debt) to cover the breakdown of the post-war class compromise by throwing money into the breaches. We interpreted the 1970s crisis as a crisis of capital, whereas it was in fact a crisis of the post-war class compromise as a consequence of the restructuring of capital to relations of exploitation and domination outside that compromise –both at home and abroad.
I was hired by the University of Amsterdam in 1973, which was then faced with a massive expansion of student intake, in a climate of student revolt, ‘Marxism’, and with mainstream theories such as positivism being ridiculed. Much time was spent in meetings that in hindsight served no purpose but to offer a terrain the government and university administration had decided or just guessed would slowly tame the student movement by incorporating the administratively-minded into the governing structures and prepare these for a transition towards a market-oriented university regime.
I was also, from the mid-70s to when it collapsed, a member of the Dutch communist party CPN. That party had no clue of what was going on either, and basically mistrusted intellectuals. Even so, my membership satisfied my search for a real opposition, and I must say that in the party I finally encountered the working class, its culture, powerful humanity, and the tradition from which the party had been able to build the most powerful resistance movement in our country against the Nazi occupation in World War II. All this, the strength of character, humour, and iron organisation, made the party an unforgettable life experience but intellectually it did not really influence me. Those who influenced me were French communists, some East German and Soviet authors, whose books I found in the communist bookshop: Paul Boccara, Christian Palloix, and so on to Poulantzas, Suzanne de Brunhoff.
My most inspiring teacher in Leiden, where I studied, was the Indologist, Jan Heesterman, who appreciated my creativity and intellectual curiosity more than the political science teachers such as Hans Daalder and Arend Lijphart who wanted an American-style discipline. Ben Sijes, a veteran Council Communist (anti-party) was a guest professor and intellectually was very important for me, because he introduced us to Pannekoek, who (as a contemporary internationally renowned Marxist) criticised Stalinist propagation of Lenin’s original, mistaken materialism.
Once in Amsterdam, my late friend Gabriel Kolko, the US historian, who along with his wife and (co-) author Joyce had come to live there, was a great source of inspiration and so was Robert Cox whom I got to know through Stephen Gill. André Gunder Frank was employed by our university for a year or so and during that time we had some very memorable encounters. Of course my co-conspirators in Amsterdam, Meindert Fennema, Henk Overbeek and later Otto Holman, and others, and several cohorts of unforgettable students, were able and insightful interlocutors in developing intellectually.
Q2: You’ re a Marxist, Aren’t you? What this means for you in analytical and political terms?
I certainly wanted to be ‘a Marxist’ once I was made a lecturer in Amsterdam. Before that I was better read in Habermas and others in the Frankfurt School tradition. Marxism was high fashion when I was hired. It was also (certainly in combination with communist party membership) the most unequivocal expression of opposition to the barbaric American wars in Indochina, the bloody coups in Indonesia and Chile, you name it. These were all supported by the Dutch government too, except maybe some inconsequential reservations about Chile.
Today I see it this way. Hegel and Marx are the moment in the history of Western philosophy (by which I mean the comprehensive format of human understanding, first of all of society itself) when it leaves the ‘European’ framework behind and becomes truly universal, the heritage of all humanity. Of course, in Hegel this has not yet been achieved, he rather outlines the trajectory of dialectical, universalising thought from its beginnings to its supreme, but still European form (his own); the last universalising step was then taken by Marx. That is, for example, why there can be a Chinese Marxism, not a Chinese Hegelianism.
However, social philosophy is not astronomy or geology, or music, so its development not only takes place in a given social order but it also positions itself as a critique of it. Philosophy in the Hegelian-Marxist sense must also transcend that social order to truly realise itself. That is, before it can become the core of, let us say, an imaginary standard academic curriculum, the limits placed on it by capitalism’s mental and moral property regime must be overcome. That obviously cannot be the work of theory alone, so Marxism can realise its universality only when the capitalist social order itself is transcended. My experience in the 1970s academic and political environment was that in the university, in the communist movement, the stirrings of that transcendence could (again) be felt. I, for one, felt them then although only now I understand what I think was happening. I mean, the stunted, incomplete and tentative quest for a qualitatively higher level of understanding was developing around us, amidst endless nonsense, misunderstanding, and so on, but developing nevertheless.
Would that transition, theoretically and socio-politically, have been completed, Marxism in a narrow sense would have been transcended as well, only some basic principles such as historicism in Gramsci’s sense, ‘absolute humanism’ (no further quasi-magical forces, like God or ‘the market’, governing us) would remain. And then all the incomplete, unfinished sketches of Marx and his fellows and successors would be taken to the level on which they were projected, as philosophy including method.
By that time, the 1970s, that is, the counteroffensive of theories formulated from a bourgeois framework, from marginalism in economics, positivism in sociology, indeed, the academic division of labour itself on the basis of these retrograde mutations in each separate field, was already a century-old and today it has reasserted itself powerfully. I have argued this point in The Discipline of Western Supremacy (2014) and in my web-textbook of 2009, A Survey of Global Political Economy.
I am now working on an argument that the regressive conjuncture of modern social science and philosophy has in fact had a quasi-suicidal effect on Western civilisation, denying its ability to become truly universal. That inability pits Western liberalism, which has effectively absorbed Social Democracy within itself, against Islam, China, in a Huntingtonian framework. Hence, the West is entrenching in an increasingly bellicose imperialism. Amidst a general backward turn towards religious imaginaries, provoked in part by the combination of a liberal culture proscribing its own most advanced insights (which call for a socialist, today, an eco-socialist society), in part by the crisis of the capitalist order. We are now in what Rosa Luxemburg prophesied, the age of barbarism. It opens up once socialism is not allowed by events (or should we say, the balance of forces) to be realised and developed beyond a certain threshold. The failure and collapse of state socialism in that light may have been the threshold, but then not the one beyond which new future possibilities were opening up for progressive development but the moment when we slipped into barbarism.
Q3: In your study The Making of An Atlantic Ruling Class, which appeared in 1984, you attempts to analyse the process of capitalist class formation in the North Atlantic area in the period between the launch of Woodrow Wilson’s crusade from Democracy in 1917 and the world economic crisis of 1974-1975. What changed since then? Who/where is the new transatlantic/transnational ruling class?
The easy answer is that Bill Carroll did an empirical study of director interlocks and membership of the main planning groups in 2010 and expressly confirmed the thesis of an Atlantic ruling class, using network analysis and such methods to establish that the commanding heights of the global political economy are still occupied by the ruling classes of the English-speaking West.
What has changed, is the narrowing of the basis of class compromise to the point of oligarchic rule, in which an ever-smaller ruling class, the “one percent,” but often much smaller, now holds power by relying ever-more on authoritarianism and war. The War on Terror, a fight against an imaginary enemy, which, however, is becoming a reality in that very war, is the supreme expression of this, with its endless bombing campaigns, mass surveillance, and the impoverishment of the quality of the political and intellectual debate. The amazing thing is that a vast auxiliary cadre without which the 1 percent would not survive for a month, is still sufficiently loyal, by training and outlook, being paid, and in the absence of a credible alternative ideology. Yet the fact that its loyalty to predatory neoliberal form of capitalism we are now living in is premised on ideological commitments also highlights it is a precarious loyalty. The younger generation of cadre, people who have no prospect of stable employment, are beginning to desert.
In my paper on Streeck, ‘Democratic Capitalism in the Last Stages?’ posted on my Academia.edu site, I have elaborated on the idea of the shock-like narrowing of the class compromise, from a corporate liberal compromise with the middle classes and labour, to a systemic neoliberal with asset-owning middle classes, to a predatory neoliberal one without class compromise and relying on authoritarianism, high-risk international behaviour, right-wing populism and media compliance instead.
Q4: Do you think there could have been a different outcome to Syriza’s negotiations with the troika? Could Alexis Tsipras have pursued an alternative strategy, like the one advocated by Syriza’s dissident Left Platform, and thereby avoided capitulating to Greece’s creditors? Or would that have required a different balance of forces elsewhere on the continent?
On this I wrote a piece ‘Rebellion in Athens’ for New Left Review, in April 2015, when there were still high hopes of a Greek Spring. The paper was kept for some time and then rejected, to my real regret because this is not the sort of a piece I can produce every month. I posted it on Academia.edu too, at least there you don’t suffer from the idiosyncrasies of editorial boards and readers can judge for themselves who was right. The Left Platform in Greece was a dismal failure because politics is not a one-issue matter, so when they stood in the election on a Grexit-platform they hardly gained any adherence. I was enthusiastic about Varoufakis’ Global Minotaur, which I rely on in my Rebellion piece, but also believe that the real target of the German stance was France. I then connected that strand of thought with the exploitation of the Charlie Hebdo attack. However, people at NLR and other publications are (too) keen to be recognised by the mainstream and are allergic to the faintest hint of ‘conspiracy theory’, as if the incidence of terror attacks would be all spontaneous and there would not have been an infrastructure in place which at least seeks to influence the conjuncture of terror. Greece was a sideshow and when the Syriza position at the outset was to stay in the Eurozone they might as well have given up right away. Portugal too has been placed under Brussels’ supervision. It cannot even form a left government without the EU dictating its programme.
Q5: The social-democratic left of the 1970s proved unable to develop a viable strategy for dealing with the onset of crisis and the resulting growth of economic difficulties in the advanced capitalist world. It seems like all over Western Europe, social-democratic reformism gained strength and became more ambitious in the 1970s — but in every case, it eventually went down to defeat. Why did this happen? Do you think that today, within the global context of unregulated capitalism, a widespread social democratic regulation in the European Continent would be possible?
Here I follow the analysis of Streeck that the inflation of the 1970s gave the semblance of left strength whereas in fact it was an inflationary prolongation of the post-war class compromise capital was in the process of disengaging from. The historic roles of social democracy, or of communism for that matter, have exhausted themselves, the former one by allowing itself to be incorporated into the neoliberal adventure, the latter by an ossified, and ultimately faulty understanding of the Russian Revolution and Stalinism. I believe we are on the threshold of a sort of right-wing populist insurrection in which the discontent over neoliberal austerity will be successfully mobilised by Le Pen in France and other Far Right groups across Europe, some of which already run countries, like Poland or Hungary. This is another reason why I think terrorism is being manipulated because it mobilises people against immigrants, refugees etc. If you just think how the Belgian police which (perhaps unlike its intelligence services) is excellently kept abreast of what happens in immigrant communities such as Molenbeek in Brussels because they set up a very productive network of informers more than a decade ago to combat drugs and drugs-related crime which they now rely on to be aware of terror threats too. So the same Belgian police, upon catching the suspect of the November attacks in Paris, Salah Abdeslam, declares that he wants to work with police. That is a pure provocation: it triggered the Zaventem Airport and metro bomb attacks because the others in the various cells thought, now is the time to act before we are caught. Why didn’t the police keep silent, arrest those revealed by Abdeslam first? This is not incompetence, this is politics if you ask me.
Q6: Conflicts in Ukraine and especially Syria – among other problems linked to recession – have exacerbated xenophobic attitudes and increase of institutionalized racism across the EU. What in your view do those developments mean for foundations and the future of the EU project? Is the definition of ‘the national’ within the EU being changed and if yes, how?
Michel Houellebecq, the novelist (I am just reading Soumission, a distopia about a Muslim Brotherhood president in France in 2022) argues that the centre-left and centre-right want to dissolve the nation into the European project, and everywhere you get a mobilisation of neo-nationalists who form an intellectual mass base for the Far Right. In France, Houellebecq is a hero of precisely those identitaires he writes about, also in the Netherlands. I think this is a new phase in the crisis of the Left, which has completely surrendered to the opposite identity politics, a blanket welcome to the people fleeing the misery caused by the War on Terror, regime changes in the Middle East and North Africa, etc. Nobody asks what this will mean in a generation or so, when as we are seeing now with second- or third-generation immigrants from North Africa, Turkey and the like, feel alienated from the host society and form inward-looking communities of their own. The basis for class mobilisation, for simple issues like wages and housing and the like, has been eroded because fewer and fewer people are in stable employment where they even can begin to think about standing up for their rights, so there is a massive retrenchment in identities, being black, being Muslim, and now also being Dutch, French, German. The EU has been hijacked by neoliberal ideologues, who happen to be its gravediggers because the large mass of the population rejects sustained austerity to save the banks.
Here in the Netherlands there is a referendum on whether or not to ratify the EU Association with Ukraine and I am active in the No campaign, with a group called OorlogIsGeenOplossing.nl (War is no Solution). It looks now as if the No will win, but not on our terms but on those of the xenophobic populist right.
Q7: You have stressed elsewhere that the heavy hand of the US is to blame for provoking Russia in their decision to annex Crimea and actively support separatist elements in Ukraine. In your latest report on US, Ukraine, and Russia you also side with those on the left who suggest that the radical right forces enjoy serious leverage in Ukraine since they dislodged Yanukovych. How exactly would you define their role in Ukraine’s politics? Are they qualitatively different in any way from other right wing forces in the EU?
I have written a long report on this to become acquainted with the topic. On finishing it and meanwhile having read a lot more, I realised there is no point trying to turn that into a book or so, because I am not competent to do that and there are already excellent works by more qualified people, Richard Sakwa in the UK, and here in the Netherlands, a young guy, Chris de Ploeg, who has written a splendid little book, Ukraine in the Crossfire (actually written in English, he is negotiating publication but the Dutch translation is already out). So what I am now contemplating (and experimenting a bit already) is to try and use the information I have gathered in combination with a huge stack of material on the MH17 disaster into a class analysis of that tragedy. My argument would be that the fascist element that was crucial in turning the Maidan demonstration to a violent seizure of power, actively supported by the US, have also been able to block various peace initiatives or just compromise solutions. I have a few names of people who had the money, the positions and the means to sabotage the ongoing negotiations between Poroshenko, Putin, and Merkel (with Ukrainian oligarch Dmytro Firtash as mediator on the gas chapter) by a dramatic incident—the downing of MH17. Of course this will take time and serious research to back up but solving a crime is not just a matter of forensics (the evidence was tampered with, radar data are not available, neither are the tapes with the conversations between air traffic control and the plane). There is also the issue of who had the motive. That is what I plan to work on, among a few other projects.
Q8: Putin’s Russia has proven to act as a counter-weight to the western hegemonic way of “diplomacy” backed by NATO arsenal. The effects of the renewed clashes of the two are however devastating. Ideologically, too, Putin’s Russia can hardly be seen as an alternative to the US-backed world order. How would you define the current function of Russia in global political economy and geopolitical makeup?
It is a drama, the BRICS are just as hopeless as the West itself, and the reason is simple: capitalism is truly entering the phase of its final demise. In such a historic conjuncture, geopolitics loses its functionality, and becomes mere show and power play by rulers losing their legitimacy as well.
Q9: After disciplining of Syriza there has been reinvigoration of left optimism with rising popularity of Corbyn and Sanders. What are your views on their perceived socialist policy orientation?
As I said, social democracy has been exhausted and neither Corbyn nor Sanders are in a position to renew it. Five years ago, I thought that this sort of leader might inaugurate a consistent reformism but now I think the forces of disintegration have gone beyond the point where such a policy might work. I think that along with capitalism as an organizing principle of economic and social relations, parliamentary representation through professional politicians is slipping into a terminal crisis. Because the Far Right have no economic programme other than neoliberalism (except for Le Pen who has a sort of dusted off version of Keynesian economic nationalism that you also see in Poland now), we must fear a steep downward slide in national income with all the accompanying regressive tendencies in the sphere of ideology, so more religion and religious bigotry.
Q10: Which, if any, viable avenues of challenging authoritarian neoliberalism at the present day do you identify? If those exist, how would you estimate current potential for their successful implementation?
There is still a high level of education in the population, so there is a large section to whom intelligent arguments can be communicated. What is lacking is a consistent message to convey to them. So challenging authoritarianism today begins with developing an understanding of how a transition out of a capitalist order, which has wrecked its underlying social and natural foundations, can be conceptualised to begin with. Of course, we cannot afford to withdraw into a monastery to find the truth first, so we must also speak out against the attempt to discipline populations by fear of others, bombs, and lies. I have the doubtful privilege of chairing a Committee on Vigilance against Resurgent Fascism here in the Netherlands, doubtful because it is very tough to try and stem the tide without a real vision already at hand.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company v. Daniel T. Jackson court case was a dispute between the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company and Daniel T. Jackson regarding compensation for injuries sustained by Jackson while working for the railway company.
The key details are that Jackson, an employee of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway Company, brought a lawsuit under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA) to recover damages for injuries he sustained due to the railway company's alleged negligence. The case was initially heard in the Federal District Court, which directed a verdict in favor of the railway company. However, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit later reversed the lower court's decision and remanded the case for further proceedings. The railway company then petitioned the Supreme Court, which ultimately ruled in favor of Jackson, finding that the evidence presented at trial was sufficient to support the employee's claim. | <urn:uuid:2da50fc5-a782-4ad8-b538-e0601a2d3a3f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://legalpdf.io/knowledge/what_was_the_baltimore_and_ohio_railway_company_v_daniel_t_jackson_court_case_about.php | 2024-04-21T22:00:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.973637 | 180 |
We celebrated Christmas this weekend. With my hubby’s clan. Whether there’s a holiday or not, there’s always lots of good food and a beautifully set table at their place.
This is the Zig Zag hat I made for my very appreciative mother-in-law. The yarn is Claudia’s handpainted merino, a delight to work with. Blocking flat was recommended by the hat’s designer. I wish I’d had a head mannequin instead. Next time I would block by misting the hat rather than completely soaking. Nonetheless, it was a successful gift.
My m-i-l is a world-class homemaker and original paintings hang in every room. I thought it was particularly fun how life imitates art with the addition of an enamelware coffee pot set beneath this painting. Of course, the painting’s morning glories — one of my all-time favorite summertime blooms — may have been what first caught my eye! … A fabulous weekend was had by all. | <urn:uuid:bedb905d-762c-41cd-8607-67a28f9a5f92> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lemonadeandseashells.com/christmas-in-january/ | 2024-04-21T20:23:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.963481 | 222 |
Dear Future President,
There are many urgent problems That are happening with the ocean at the time and I think something needs to be done about them very fast. My name Is Brendan murphy and I am from Lisha kill Middle school in New york. Our Ocean is slowly falling apart by the minute and Not many things are being done about it, neither do a lot of people know about It. Some things that are harming our ocean, to name a few are as follows: Pollution, Illegal fishing and just killing for sport. This is bad because it is Obliterating the ocean's food chain and its way of existing. Overall there are lots of horrific things happening to the ocean that I really think must be stopped.
One of the most important things that are harming our ocean is probably the pollution that Is making its way to the water like, Plastic bags. Chip bags, And lots more, Even kids toys! According to the national Ocean service website, “One of the biggest sources of pollution is called nonpoint source pollution.” Nonpoint pollution mainly happens because of runoff, Which can come from anything from Septic tanks to cars or even too farms. Millions of vehicles cause this pollution to happen every day, and most of it is making its way to the ocean. The website also says that some of this pollution actually starts as air pollution which ends up settling into rivers and waterways, Once again leading to our oceans, causing more problems.
Another Important and current danger to the ocean is just our vision on the problem in general. Lots of people find this problem unheard of, and according to marinebio.org Lots of people just viewed the ocean as a “neverending source of resources.” And some still do! The article also states that sometimes “the threats to these animals are hard to even perceive because they aren't as visible as animals on land.” These animals are just as vulnerable as the things that our land animals are vulnerable towards, and therefore, they cannot be ignored! They are even hit by nets, boats and more! If this continues the food chain in the ocean itself could shatter into pieces, causing more fish and other creatures to have WAY too big of a population. This could cause more algae to spread, killing some marine creatures and changing our way of life as well. Not just the animals.
This problem is huge and it must be fixed, as fishers lives could be ruined, and even more problems could happen from then on. I think some ways that this problem can be handled are by stopping fishing in some areas. Even though some areas are already illegal to fish in, We are not enforcing the law that much, and people still fish there without getting into any trouble. We could also make these areas bigger because they aren't big enough as is. I think if we leave a certain area alone for a good amount of time then some of the animal population could come back. Some of the animals that need help are, Sharks, Sea turtles, Dugongs, Whales and more. Another thing that could help the ocean is making littering laws a bit more strict. People today still just throw trash everywhere, which ends up eventually making its way to the ocean. Some areas you could enforce this are cities and towns around beaches, Because obviously enough, they are close to the beaches, which means they are closest to the ocean. I think A way that you could enforce littering laws is by security cameras. It may sound ridiculous but cameras could be set up so If any littering happens it could be seen and picked up before any of it ruins the environment. So in the end, I Strongly think more needs to be done to help the oceans and fast. I also truly believe that if something isn't done, There will most likely be consequences. | <urn:uuid:ddcf8b0f-7c3d-4d7a-a79d-880f553a0376> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://letters2president.org/letters/16702 | 2024-04-21T20:44:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.976502 | 775 |

Used in 138 crates
This crate provides the Repository
abstraction which serves as a hub into all the functionality of git.
It's powerful and won't sacrifice performance while still increasing convenience compared to using the sub-crates individually. Sometimes it may hide complexity under the assumption that the performance difference doesn't matter for all but the fewest tools out there, which would be using the underlying crates directly or file an issue.
The Trust Model
It is very simple - based on the ownership of the repository compared to the user of the current process Trust is assigned. This can be overridden as well. Further, git configuration files track their trust level per section based on and sensitive values like paths to executables or certain values will be skipped if they are from a source that isn't fully trusted.
That way, data can safely be obtained without risking to execute untrusted executables.
Note that it's possible to let gix
act like git
by setting the [open::Options::bail_if_untrusted()] option.
The prelude and extensions
With use git_repository::prelude::*
you should be ready to go as it pulls in various extension traits to make functionality
available on objects that may use it.
The method signatures are still complex and may require various arguments for configuration and cache control.
Most extensions to existing objects provide an obj_with_extension.attach(&repo).an_easier_version_of_a_method()
By default, the Repository
and thus can't be used in certain contexts which require the Sync
To help with this, convert it with [.into_sync()
][Repository::into_sync()] into a ThreadSafeRepository
Accessing objects quickly is the bread-and-butter of working with git, right after accessing references. Hence it's vital to understand which cache levels exist and how to leverage them.
When accessing an object, the first cache that's queried is a memory-capped LRU object cache, mapping their id to data and kind.
It has to be specifically enabled a Repository
On miss, the object is looked up and if a pack is hit, there is a small fixed-size cache for delta-base objects.
In scenarios where the same objects are accessed multiple times, the object cache can be useful and is to be configured specifically
using the [object_cache_size(…)
Use the cache-efficiency-debug
cargo feature to learn how efficient the cache actually is - it's easy to end up with lowered
performance if the cache is not hit in 50% of the time.
When reading the documentation of the canonical gix-worktree program one gets the impression work tree and working tree are used interchangeably. We use the term work tree only and try to do so consistently as its shorter and assumed to be the same.
To make using sub-crates and their types easier, these are re-exported into the root of this crate. Here we list how to access nested plumbing crates which are otherwise harder to discover:
API to gix
This doc-aliases are used to help finding methods under a possibly changed name. Just search in the docs.

"Creativity is the way I share my soul with the world" Brene Brown
Opportunities for older models are scarce so I need to go out and make my own to express my creative nature.
I have always loved the theatre and took A' Level Theatre Studies back in 1988, yes 31 years ago! That love has never gone and as my confidence has grown in the last few years my need to express my creative side has got stronger. It's like welcoming the 18 year old me back in to my life and it's exciting and opening new doors to explore.
This woman means business.

Sidney Bray was born August 22, 1899 on a ranch near Bowie, Texas to Thomas William and Martha Winkler Bray. His father was a postmaster, and the town of Bray in Stephens County is named after him. The Bray family moved from Texas to Oklahoma in 1899 when Sidney was 5 years old. Sidney died Tuesday, February 6, 1996, at the age of 96. He married Allene Patterson on Dec. 25, 1920. Allene died in 1978 after 50 years of marriage. They had one daughter Mrs. Virginia Stephenson of Ponca City, and three grandchildren Kent, Pattie, and Randy. Bray’s second wife Ruth Womack Bray had a son Jerry Womack. Ruth died in 1986.
Bray joined the army in 1918. The same year he moved to Oklahoma City. After a short stateside duty assignment, his Army division was transported to France. After serving frontline duty, he returned to the United States the following year. After military service, he returned to Oklahoma and was an employee in a meat-packing company, was an oilfield tool dresser, and a hardware sales clerk. Finally he was a motor car company employee in Oklahoma City. Through hard work and innovation, Bray worked his way up to national sales promotion manager for the Pontiac division of General Motors. In 1941, he became advertising manager for Packard Corporation in New York City.
He brought his family back to Oklahoma in 1942 when he was appointed State Director of War Bonds Division of the U.S. Treasury Department after returning from World War II.
Serving as regional director of the bond division for seven south central states, he led award-winning savings bond campaigns for the Treasury. A resident of Edmond before moving to Ponca City, he was active in civic affairs and was selected as “Edmond’s Outstanding Citizen and was named a lifetime member of Kiwanis.

Best Dry Hair Conditioners
- If you are running low on cash, and are looking for some good conditioners for your dry hair, then egg yolks can be a good choice for you. Egg yolks are loaded with proteins that helps repair damaged hair making it soft and lustrous. Add ½ a cup of egg yolk with equal amounts of yogurt. Beat them thoroughly to make a smooth paste. Apply the paste onto your hair and leave it for 15-20 minutes. Then wash it off thoroughly with cold water. Remember to wash your hair properly in order to get rid of the intolerable egg odor.
- Mayonnaise is also a very good natural conditioner for dry hair. While the egg yolk in the mayonnaise provides nourishment to the hair, the oil locks the moisture in the hair shafts, and the vinegar helps in cleaning the hair by removing all the dirt, thus providing your hair with a natural shine. First apply mayonnaise to your hair. Take a wide toothed comb and comb your hair to spread the mayonnaise evenly all over the hair. Leave it for 20 minutes and then wash your hair properly.
- Mayonnaise and avocado make a great combo to condition your dry hair with. Take a mixing bowl and add ½ cup mayonnaise with an equal amount of avocado. Add 1 tablespoon almond oil to it and blend the ingredients thoroughly to make a smooth paste. Apply the paste on your damp hair. Wear a shower cap and leave it for 15 minutes. Then wash your hair properly. Blow-dry your hair and you are just ready to flaunt your shiny hair.
- Henna is one of the most popular natural hair conditioners. If you are bored with your dry frizzy hair, regular application of henna can help to make your hair soft and healthy. Take henna powder in an iron container and soak it in lukewarm water overnight. You may also add egg yolk, and freshly brewed coffee to provide extra nourishment to your hair. Apply the henna paste all over you hair and leave it for one hour. Wash your hair thoroughly with cold water and then use a shampoo to clean your hair properly.
- To restore the natural shine of your dry hair, mix one egg yolk with one cup of papaya pulp, ½ cup fresh milk, a few drops of lavender essential oil, and ½ cup coconut milk. Blend all these ingredients together and then apply them on your hair. Use a comb to divide your hair and apply it in sections. Leave it for 15 minutes and then rinse it off.
- To tame your frizzy hair, you may also make a mixture of 70 ml of honey, 85 ml olive oil, and 70 ml vegetable oil. Mix them together and heat the mixture. Put the mixture in a spray bottle. Damp your hair and spray the mixture on your hair. Massage gently with your finger tips. Wrap your hair in a warm damp Turkish towel for an hour or so. After an hour, rinse your hair using a mild shampoo. | <urn:uuid:4132e285-e9ec-4922-903f-241e943c6436> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lifestyle.iloveindia.com/lounge/best-conditioner-for-dry-hair-12418.html | 2024-04-21T20:28:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.935731 | 831 |

“I want to confirm that I am willing to voluntarily and openly cooperate with law-enforcement bodies,” the former chairman of the Lithuanian Liberal Movement, who was accompanied by his lawyer, told reporters after a visit to the Prosecutor General’s Office on Monday.
“This week will be devoted for putting my intentions into practice, that is, to resign as a member of the Seimas and face justice as an ordinary citizen and prove my truths,” he added.
Masiulis said that he was under obligation not to disclose any information related to the ongoing pre-trial investigation.
The politician declined to either confirm or deny a prosecutor’s statement that €106,000 had been found at his home.
Investigators previously said that Masiulis was suspected of taking a bribe of about €100,000 from Raimondas Kurlianskis, vice-president of one of Lithuania’s biggest business groups MG Baltic.
“It is up to the prosecutor to say whatever he wants to say. I have said as much as I can,” he said.
The Special Investigation Service (STT) is investigating suspicions that Kurlianskis, vice-president of MG Baltic, one of Lithuania’s biggest business groups, gave a bribe of 106,000 euros to Masiulis.
Kurlianskis has been arrested and Masiulis has a status of special witness in the investigation.
Masiulis last Friday asked the Central Electoral Commission to terminate his MP mandate, saying that he would not hide behind his parliamentary immunity. He vowed to cooperate with law enforcement bodies and prove that he is not guilty. | <urn:uuid:8952aeca-1a35-4405-ae7c-fced86094b06> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://lithuaniatribune.com/i-will-face-justice-as-ordinary-citizen-masiulis/ | 2024-04-21T21:08:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.985818 | 351 |
The kind of teas could be called High Mountain Tea 高山茶, the tea fields‘ height above sea level should be 500-900 meters, the best higher than 800 meters. The temperature decreases by 0.6 degrees for every 100m increase in altitude. Above 900 meters above sea level, the temperature is too low, it is not easy for tea plants to grow, if go through the clouds, ultraviolet light is too strong, and it’s also not good. Comparing with other teas growing at lower see levels, high mountain teas are much more special, especially famous high quality green and white teas.
High mountain tea’s tastes are more rich and sweet, because of strong root systems, high mountain tea plants could absorb more mineral substances and nutrients. High mountain tea’s textures are more smooth and soft, since high mountains surround all the year round with cloud and mist, high humidities, rich diffusion lights and big differences in temperature between the day and the night are optimal for tea plants to produce some desirable compounds.
Since the theanine content is the determinant of fresh and brisk tastes, green tea and white tea have originally high in content of theanine, high mountain tea plants in early springs under lower temperature and less illumination could produce the more desirable compound of theanine, but restrain undesirable compound of tea polyphenols which bitterness comes from. This is why famous green tea needs to be picked in the morning, temperature is lower and not much sun-light in mornings.
High mountain tea’s liquid is more clear and bright, because lights on high mountains are mainly blue-purple lights because of cloud and mist block, which could restrain undesirable compounds to produce. High mountain green tea‘s fragrances are much higher, longer daylight hours and relative lower temperatures are good for fresh leaves to produce aromatic compounds. | <urn:uuid:5105c26d-7958-460f-9e7f-dcce359b3ef2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://liu-tea-art.com/2018/01/01/high-mountain-tea-from-wudang-mountains/ | 2024-04-21T21:53:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.940571 | 389 |

Mutated ras-p21 protein has been found in 98 percent of human pancreatic cancers and 50 percent of human colon cancers. A single point mutation is responsible for p21 to become oncogenic. My research involves the study of potential inhibitors in the ras-p21 signal transduction pathway. Xenopus laevis oocytes are used as my experimental model system.

is a suicide attempt survivor."I survived a suicide attempt."
Erin Edwards was born and raised in Davis, CA, and spent time working in the medical field. She was 38 years old when I interviewed her in Berkeley, CA, on July 20, 2016.
I was raised as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, so I have a religious background that’s still present. It will always be part of my life.
I grew up in a working class family. I had a lot of early childhood trauma. I had an older brother who was very abusive. Violent, very aggressive, and angry at me. My dad believed that I was better off not having any self-esteem, so there was an absolute destruction of my psyche early on, which put me in a place of being easily victimized. I went through my entire teen years, all the way up until I was eighteen, being molested by a family friend, which led to all of my suicide attempts. It was very hidden, all the stuff that was happening. My parents didn’t know what my older brother was doing to me. My dad was well-intentioned but misplaced.
When all of my issues came out, I believed that I was at fault for absolutely everything that had happened in my life. That was the point at which both of my parents were truly there for me and picked me up emotionally. I mean, they had already been there for me through my teen years. They knew something horrible was happening to me, but they didn’t know what. When I finally admitted what happened to me, when I was nineteen and already married, they endeavored to put me back together emotionally.
I spent a lot of years in therapy, but by the time I admitted my abuse, I had already been in therapy for five years. It took many more years of therapy past that to really come to terms. But all the therapy in the world wouldn’t have been anything without having that family support—people who love me absolutely unconditionally, told me so, never held any blame for me, and told me over and over again that I was not to blame for anything that had happened to me, that I didn’t want it, and that I wasn’t vile or filthy for being a child.
My last suicide attempt was the worst. I had a really rough start with my marriage and was very depressed and unhappy. I drank [a large amount] of vodka trying to absolutely just end my life and woke up in ICU three days later. I was in a coma for three days. But, again, after that was a whole-hearted effort from everyone around me to rebuild me, to show me that I was loved, appreciated, and needed. Not just loved, but, “Don’t go, we need you.”
That last attempt was in 2001. That was the point at which it finally made sense to me that I wasn’t so completely worthless that nobody could need me. It was like that epiphany, that breakthrough moment of, “I am being selfish.” I never could equate that. How could it possibly be selfish for me to end my life?
I knew from the time I was very small, six years old, that I was going to take my own life someday. Depression haunted me so early. I knew that I would die by own hand rather than be sick, in pain, alone, and unhappy.
I knew from the time I was very small, six years old, that I was going to take my own life someday. Depression haunted me so early. I knew that I would die by own hand rather than be sick, in pain, alone, and unhappy. I would take control of my own life. That’s always been a part of me as a person. But in 2001, that last attempt was that kind of game changer. I had people rally around me.
For me, there was never any warning. No warning signs or verbal attempts at attention seeking. It was people coming home, finding me in disaster, and having to rush me to the hospital or call paramedics. That last moment of people rallying around me and saying, “We need you. Don’t go,” finally made sense. It finally got through all of the pain, heartache, and worthlessness that I had lived with. It had such a profound shift in my personality, at that moment.
I thought, “Now I have to choose to be happy. I’ve been so unhappy my entire life and living in it. This is making other people around me suffer, people who care for me. How would I feel if the role was reversed, if someone I loved desperately was disregarding my feelings for them so categorically?”
I put myself outside myself for the first time. I put myself in my mom’s shoes, my dad’s shoes, my husband’s shoes, and really felt what they were going through. I made the choice: from this moment forward, I will find a way to be happy. Even if I’m unhappy, I can never be so unhappy and so ungrateful.
I live my life now with gratitude for being alive. I stopped breathing. My parents didn’t know how bad I was in that last attempt. They decided to drive me to the hospital and I stopped breathing before we got there. There were massive resuscitation efforts to save my life. I’m very, very lucky and grateful to be alive. Grateful that I am alive, grateful that I have so many people who love me. In the little ways, in the big ways, in everything, I find things that are worth living for.
Des: Talk about your faith. When you say it’s still there, are you practicing?
Erin: I am practicing. One of Jehovah’s Witnesses. When I say it’s there, it’s definitely a very ingrained part of who I am. Because of that whole mindset and starting out early in experiencing depression, my religion gives me a balance in life. A reason to hope. Many religions offer kind of a false sense of comfort. When bad things happen, they tend to blame God. My religion balances that for me and gives me a reason to not despair at all the negative things that this life has to offer.
This world can be so violent, so ugly, and so horrible, and yet, it doesn’t destroy me emotionally because I know that Jehovah will fix it. Without that hope, that expectation, and knowledge that this will get better, that this will not always be the way… what could life possibly be worth living without hope? I will always be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses for that gratitude in life, that sense of security knowing that my mom may be dead, but she’s not gone. It allows me to continue to function and be happy in spite of some pretty awful world events.
Des: How is suicide viewed?
Erin: Well, that’s the interesting thing. Our religion has changed a lot in regards to mental health issues. A lot. Forty years ago, it might have been viewed very differently than it is today, but with both the individual members of our religion and on a whole, the information that’s published is far more consoling and supportive. It’s enough so that I’m not afraid to tell anyone. There’s eight million Jehovah’s witnesses, and whether I’m close to them or not, I can say, “Yeah, I’ve attempted suicide,” and not have a bad reaction. Not even fear it. Like I said, everyone who knows me knows that I’ve been through this, it’s a part of who I am or who I was, and [they] have nothing but compassion and love and support.
Erin: It’s a really good place to be.
Des: Do you still struggle?
Erin: Actually, yeah. I do. I am happy, and the gratitude, the hope, and the happiness keep me anchored. But I will always view suicide as an option if the circumstances were severe enough. I actively work to make sure that those [circumstances] won’t ever happen. It’s just a part of who I am and whether it goes away or not, I can choose differently.
I am happy, and the gratitude, the hope, and the happiness keep me anchored. But I will always view suicide as an option if the circumstances were severe enough.
Des: So, what happens on a bad day?
Erin: On a bad day… my bad days are usually, actually, fighting with my husband. Or, sometimes, my dad.
When things get bad, I find outlets to cope. I will go for a walk, I will go to bed, I will put music on. Music is incredibly powerful. Mood altering. So I will turn to music just to turn it on and listen to something that makes me happy. I talk things out because there’s no situation that any two people can ever get into that cannot be resolved by being patient and loving and just talking it out. You may need a break, to go cool down for a little bit, but anything can be talked out if two people are willing.
Des: You got married at eighteen.
Erin: Yes, I did. Eighteen. I was ready, and I viewed it as a way to get out of the issues that I had grown up with. An escape and a security blanket. A way to wrap myself in love that I hadn’t experienced before.
It was definitely where I was headed at that time. I wanted to go to college and that was nixed early, so for an eighteen year old in our religion, there wasn’t much left other than to just get married.
Des: You said it was rocky at the beginning?
Erin: Well, I was eighteen and my husband was twenty-three. We were still kids and making stupid mistakes, and not really understanding what it was to put another person truly first before yourself. We were still figuring stuff out. At eighteen, it’s not the same as when you’re twenty-five or thirty-five.
Des: That’s what’s so impressive about it. It’s like, “How did you guys do that?”
Erin: Lots and lots of talking. Lots of bad moments and lots of talking. There were really rocky, ugly, horrible moments, but we always managed to pull things back together. You know, sort out whatever it was, really get down to the core of any issue, like, “Okay, if the group of people that we’re friends with right now is not positive, let’s cut those out. If this is not working for us, let’s change it.”
Des: It sounds like he’s always been really supportive.
Erin: Oh, yeah. Very supportive.
I’ve been lucky in my life. Very. I have other family members who have gone through similar and worse life experiences, had zero support, and struggle emotionally to this day. I recognize that the place I’m at, at thirty-eight years old, is a product of a lot of love. I just know that I am lucky and grateful.
Des: What makes you so willing to be open? Has it always been that way?
Erin: I have always been very open. Really, I view any kind of concealment as a form of lying. I was raised with the belief that—I heard this over and over growing up—even a lie of omission is still a lie, so I don’t hide anything.
I got in trouble for stuff that my brothers did growing up that wasn’t my fault, and I would get punished for it. So, no. Everything is just out in the open, but especially things related to the heart. I am far more open.
I tell my best friend’s kids what I went through with my older brother and how it affected me. Her oldest is a boy and then she has girls. That relationship he has with his sisters is so crucial in those girls’ lives. He gets mad at them. I’m like, “No, you can’t do that. You need to be kind to them because they adore you.” I’m just all surface when it comes to emotional stuff.
I learn from my mistakes, I learn from other people’s mistakes. My dad’s last words to his father were spoken in anger. I grew up hearing that my entire life, so very early I decided I would never miss an opportunity to tell someone I love them. No matter what the relationships look like, those words are so powerful and people need to hear them. We don’t have enough kindness in our lives. I won’t live with the regret of having missed telling someone, “I love you,” not seeing them again, and that was the last opportunity. I refuse to live with regret.
Des: Do you still have a relationship with your brother?
Erin: I have a strange relationship with my younger brother and a non-existent one with my older brother. My younger brother and I love each other, but there are other issues that kind of intervened. We actually started getting along really well after my mom died, but then another female influencer came into his life. That’s put a strain on our relationship, but it’s important for him, so I just let it be. We need our space and that’s fine.
Des: Siblings. What benefits do you think came out of your attempts?
Des: If any.
Erin: I don’t think that my attempts benefited the people surrounding me at all. There was only pain, grief, and turmoil for them. For me, I was forcibly shown how much I was loved. It was not a choice. It wasn’t an option. I couldn’t look away and pretend that it hadn’t happened. I was shown how much people care for me, how much people were suffering on my behalf, and how much it was hurting them to see me hurting.
The benefit came from being able to accept that, for as worthless as I felt, I was loved regardless. Really learning what true love is, I was able to turn around and reflect it back to be there for other people; to be supportive in a way that, people who are on the receiving end of my love and support now, remark upon it being an amazing thing. They can’t quite fathom how I can be the way I am and yet, had those experiences not happened, I would not be this person.
Des: It’s so often that sexual abuse comes up in these conversations. And not just that—the project has made me realize that we don’t talk about suicide, but there are a million other things that we don’t talk about. Things that I didn’t even think of, like postpartum depression and miscarriages, and how they’re all related to suicide.
I honestly believe that suicide is not just something that happens out of depression.
Erin: I honestly believe that suicide is not just something that happens out of depression. Ultimately, every experience that I ever heard had a prompting event that was just that straw that broke the camel’s back. You could not handle one last thing, then that one last thing got heaped on your head, and you can’t cope anymore. That’s not where people want to be. That’s not the place.
It always made me so angry—early on when I was fifteen or sixteen, I first started attempting suicide and the doctors would say, “Well, she’s just trying to get attention.” It made me so angry because, first of all, they didn’t know me. Didn’t know me at all. It wasn’t until my mom got me into a child psychiatrist who really did work with kids that I actually got a level of understanding from a doctor.
Everyone prior to that had been really awful. I mean, judgmental and unkind and, “Oh, she’s just doing this for attention.”
It’s like, “Well, so what? Maybe there’s a reason why I’m needing some attention here, but you don’t really get it.”
For me, it was doing the attempt first and then everyone finding out about it. I was not a warn-er until, after my first four or five attempts, my mom made me promise to ask for help. Once she forced me into that promise, I felt obligated. Like, I didn’t want to, but I made my mom a promise, so now I have to at least try. My mom never disregarded it, not once. If I said I felt like hurting myself, she stopped what she was doing. She took me to doctors, she did whatever she needed to do, but she never treated my verbal expressions as insignificant or unimportant. Never dismissed me. Those verbal expressions weren’t threats, they were, “I want to hurt myself.” For me, hurting myself was very much an external pain source that felt like a release of the internal. Somehow or another, that mind-body connection would actually give an emotional release to feel my body in physical pain.
Des: I recognize that.
Erin: My support network was amazing.
Des: Sounds like it.
Des: You knew I was going to ask you if suicide is an option for you.
Erin: I mean, I think I recognized a possibility that it was going to be a question, but that’s almost a knee jerk response for me. It’s such an ingrained part of my psyche that, yeah, it will be… but I choose. Life is about choices.
Des: That’s one of the only questions I ask everybody, because I feel like—aside from the fact that these narratives of ours have been erased in the past—it’s been like, “Oh, look! This person lived and they’re healed forever!” It’s like, that’s not how it is for most of us. It’s unfair to give us those expectations.
Erin: Yeah, I agree. I’ve known of people who died by suicide. One of my brother’s friends [died by] suicide. That’s very final and very permanent, but suicide attempt survivors aren’t in any less pain than a suicide victim. They find a way to go on, to get past that moment in time. They survive, for whatever reason—it’s going to be different in every case—but there’s still going to be pain there. So, yeah. I get it.
Des: I think a lot about how we’re viewed by a lot of people as weak.
Erin: Not weak.
Des: There’s nothing about me that’s weak.
Erin: No. It’s the strong person that goes until they break. There’s nothing that’s weak about me. In fact, I was always expected to be far stronger than I wanted to be and could deal with. But I’m still an emotional creature and feel everything very intensely. That intensity, that level of emotional output is not a negative output, but I feel other people’s emotions viscerally. If someone’s sad, I feel it. I mean, I can just walk into a room and feel other people’s emotions. Happy, sad, angry, anxious; I am very in tune with that. It makes it hard, too, when those emotions are directed right at me, to cope.
Des: Yeah. Therapy? Meds? Anything?
Erin: I am functioning well not on meds at this moment in time, but I am not averse to medication when medication is necessary. I will seek it out. If I know that there’s something off kilter for me, I will go to the doctor and say, “Hey, this isn’t working. I’m not functioning at my best,” and go get meds or go get into therapy. I put taking care of my psyche as a priority, because to not do so is to just backslide too far, to that part where now it’s gone from being an option to being an imminent issue.
Not going there. That’s where choices come in.
Des: Self-care is a really interesting thing.
Erin: It’s hard. When you’re depressed, you don’t want to take care of yourself. You want to stay in that place that almost becomes a safe place to be. Those thought patterns are hard to change. Self-care is scary and there’s so much stigma attached to it, like you said. It’s embarrassing for the vast majority of people, this idea of, “Oh, it’s going to follow you from doctor to doctor. Once you’re diagnosed, it’s going to be on your medical records for the rest of your life.” So what? For me, it’s a big, “So what?” I don’t care. I’ve been labeled with so many different things in my life—all different kinds of autoimmune diseases—everything that you can think of, I’ve been diagnosed with, and no two doctors can agree on anything. So, who cares, anyway?
Des: What would you want to say to someone reading your story?
Erin: I wish that I had known, and really, truly understood, how not alone I was. How normal it actually is to feel the feelings that I had. If I could say anything, it’s that. Don’t stay in that spot where you feel unloved and unsupported. There will always be someone out there who will love you and support you. Just don’t be alone, because being alone is what gets you every time. | <urn:uuid:aca07bef-1a9d-439d-9ce7-a90a61a272c5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://livethroughthis.org/erin-edwards/ | 2024-04-21T22:01:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.984101 | 4,746 |
Whether you got a deal for the Presidents’ Day long weekend, you’re taking the kids on a trip during their school vacation or you’re fleeing the cold for a break on the beach, February is a popular time to travel. But while you may be enjoying your getaway in flip-flops, your house may be withstanding sub-zero temperatures, putting your pipes in danger of freezing. We asked plumbing and cleaning experts what you should—and should not—do to protect your pipes and enjoy peace of mind when leaving your home in cold weather.
Do Leave A Faucet Running
Just a small trickle from the cold tap will keep water moving in your pipes, preventing a solid freeze in all but the most extreme cases, says Jeff Bell of Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Southern Massachusetts in Carver, Mass.
Do Keep The Heat Turned Up
Bell prefers a 60ºF setting to make sure a home’s coldest, draftiest corners stay warm, even if there’s no one at home. It may add to your energy bill, but it could save you thousands in water damage from a burst pipe.
Do Leave Cabinet Doors Open
You won’t be home to trip over them, so leave under-sink cabinet doors open in the kitchen and bathrooms. This will help keep warm air circulating around the pipes. (And if you’ve kept the heat turned up, the air in the rooms will be nice and warm.)
Do Thaw Frozen Pipes—Very Carefully
If you return home and turn on a faucet only to find nothing comes out, don’t despair. “If no signs of damage are seen, sometimes a single-fixture supply line can be thawed by using a hair dryer,” says Bell. But don’t use anything stronger than a hair dryer and if you aren’t sure where the pipe is frozen, call a plumber.
Don’t Let Cold Air Into Your Home
Seal external openings, such as basement doors, windows and crawl spaces, with weather stripping, caulk and sealant. (Stopping drafts not only protects your plumbing, it will make your space cozier and more comfortable for you.)
Don’t Leave Hoses Connected
Ideally, you should drain sprinkler systems before the first freeze of the season. If you still have any hoses connected from fall gardening projects, disconnect, drain and store them, and shut off any exterior water spigots.
Don’t Leave Your Home Totally Alone
During particularly cold snaps, have a neighbor stop in a few times to visually inspect and operate each plumbing fixture, checking for water flow, and to make sure the heat is on.
Don’t Ignore The Signs Of A Frozen Pipe
“The average insurance claim for water damage from frozen pipes is about $15,000,” says Reed Mattingly of restoration and cleaning company Rainbow International in South Carolina. “If water starts leaking from a pipe after it gets warmer, [that means] the pipe has burst from the pressure. A pipe crack an eighth of an inch long can release more than 200 gallons of water daily.” Shut off the water supply to the broken pipe immediately to minimize damage and call a professional.
Fire, extreme weather, personal liability, theft—there are several situations to consider when shopping for insurance. Visit geico.com to find the right coverage for your home.

Wholehearted Living Workshops – one year self-study program
I am delighted to offer this new 52 week workshop, as crazy as that sounds. I want to try this and I hope you will be brave and bold and come along with me. In short, this is what I hope and plan for: A year of receiving weekly mind/heart lessons for those of you who want to live more fully. My bias is always toward taking action, while cultivating curiosity and wonder; purpose and gratitude; finding new solutions to old problems; discovering small joys; laughter; getting things done you deem important; making memories; climbing mountains – both real and metaphorical; facing death as a natural part of living and co-existing more skillfully with anxiety and fear. It is possible to reduce unnecessary suffering while coming to terms with what you cannot change. Seems like a lot but we have a year. | <urn:uuid:8af53baa-302a-4557-aed7-eebdb807bf3a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://livingwellwithillness.com/services/ | 2024-04-21T20:47:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296817819.93/warc/CC-MAIN-20240421194551-20240421224551-00068.warc.gz | en | 0.962174 | 181 |
Cocktail Party Etiquette for the Host:
How to indicate that you don’t want children at the party? Cocktail party etiquette would suggest a few options for this, mostly revolving around the invitation. If you’re designing an actual paper invitation to be mailed out (or even just the image of the invitation to be emailed or texted), it’s acceptable to write “Adults only, please” in italics below the RSVP line. If you’re sending out an electronic invitation through a website (think Evite or Paperless Post) where you can write a message to guests, you could write something clever to indicate that children are not invited, something along the lines of “We’re looking forward to toasting our friends at this party exclusively for the grown-ups,” or even simpler, “We’re excited to see everyone at this adult party.” The one thing you don’t want to say is “No children” or “Children not allowed,” as that has more of a negative and offensive connotation.
Etiquette for the Guest:
Is it polite to ask the host for a tour of their home? Generally, no, it is not polite to ask for a tour. A person’s home is private, and you should not put your host on the spot. An exception to this would be at a party that is specifically a “housewarming party” which is generally only held for close friends only, and, in that case, the host will typically have the house on display. The other exception would be if you are attending a party at a house of architectural or historic significance. But even then, it might still be considered rude to ask for a tour explicitly. Instead, you could say something like “What a beautiful home! I love the architecture and the interior decor,” and then see if your host offers a tour, which you could then enthusiastically accept.
When I’m invited to a party, do I need to bring a gift? This is on a case-by-case basis. When you SHOULD: 1.) When the party is held in the host’s home, and 2.) When are you attending a party outside of someone’s home in celebration of a guest of honor (birthday party, retirement, 50th anniversary, shower, etc.)? When it’s NOT expected: 1.) When you are attending a party outside of someone’s home, and it is not a celebration for a guest of honor, and 2.) When the party is held in the host’s home, the invitation says, “In lieu of gifts…”
When you should bring a gift, what kind of gift to bring? If you know the host or guest of honor drinks, then a bottle of wine is always a welcome and safe bet. Otherwise, fresh flowers or something for the home, such as a scented candle, are wonderful gifts for any occasion.
What do you do if the party host has a shoes-off policy? Do you have to follow it? Etiquette would suggest that you should do as your host requests, but you can certainly tell the host, “I’d really prefer to leave them on if you don’t mind.” That may not change their mind, but it’s ok to ask. Many times, you will not know of this policy before you arrive. If you’re worried, I would ask the host about their stance on shoes in the home and plan accordingly.

Having trouble with your SD card not being read on Windows 10 or 11? Learn how to solve this issue with our helpful guide.
Check Hardware and Clean SD Card Reader
To fix the issue of the SD card not being read on Windows 10/11, first, check the hardware connections. Make sure the card reader is properly connected to the computer and the SD card is inserted correctly.
Next, clean the SD card reader to remove any dust or debris that may be causing a poor connection. Use a can of compressed air or a soft brush to gently clean the card reader.
If the SD card is still not being read, try using a different SD card or card reader to see if the issue is with the card itself. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to update the device drivers for the card reader or try using a different USB port on your computer.
Use a Different USB Port or Computer
If your SD card is not being read on Windows 10/11, try using a different USB port or computer. Sometimes the issue may be with the specific port you are using, so switching to a different one can help troubleshoot the problem.
Additionally, trying to connect the SD card to a different computer can help determine if the issue lies with your current computer or the SD card itself. This can help narrow down the potential causes of the problem.
By testing the SD card on a different computer or USB port, you can rule out potential issues such as driver problems, hardware malfunctions, or compatibility issues. This simple step can often help resolve the problem without the need for more complex solutions.
