Traditional practices contribute to conservation of medicinal plants in West Usambara Mountains, Tanzania, report Tuli S Msuya and Jafari R Kideghesho in the March issue of the open access journal Tropical Conservation Science.
These practices include domestication; beliefs on sacredness of trees; beliefs on sacred forests; respect of cultural forests; protection of plants at the burial sites; selective harvesting; secrecy; collection of dead wood for firewood; and use of energy saving traditional stoves. But medicinal plants are increasingly vanishing, not only because they are highly demanded for primary health care, but also because they cater for several other purposes such as trade, food, timber, firewood and building poles. Land clearing (for agriculture, settlements and other developments) and accidental and deliberate fires also contribute to loss of these species.

- The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe has withdrawn as a cooperating agency from the U.S Federal government’s ongoing environmental assessment of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) operations, citing lack of transparency by the U.S Army Corps of Engineers and the pipeline operators, Energy Transfer.
- Standing Rock tribal leaders have raised concerns about the oil spill emergency response plans made available to them and believe that Energy transfer has understated how big the potential of an oil spill might be.
- Janet Alkire, the newly elected Standing Rock Sioux tribal chairperson, has called on the Army Corps to address the issues they have highlighted in the emergency response plans or to shut down the Dakota Access pipeline immediately to safeguard the lives of tribal members.
- According to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, concerns raised by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe will be considered as it issues the draft Environmental Impact Statement and the organization would have preferred if the tribe remained involved as a cooperating agency.
The Standing Rock Sioux tribe has withdrawn as a cooperating agency from the U.S Federal government’s ongoing environmental assessment of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) operations.
Standing Rock attributed their decision to the lack of transparency by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who are conducting the court-ordered Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the pipeline in the area, as well as Energy Transfer’s, the pipeline operator, refusal to engage with tribe. According to tribal leaders, Standing Rock’s Tribal Emergency Response Commission (TERC) has yet to see the entire copy of the pipeline’s emergency plan in case a crude oil spill occurs.
“The Corps has failed to provide the Standing Rock TERC the most recent, unredacted response plans,” states Doug Crow Ghost, Administrator of the Tribe’s Water Resources Department. “Coordination and transparency with the TERC have been non-existent.”
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers told Mongabay that they would have preferred if the tribe remained as a cooperating agency in the EIS process and are looking forward to future comments on the upcoming EIS draft.
In 2016 and 2017, Standing Rock was among thousands of tribes and protestors that opposed the Dakota Access pipeline. After the tribe legally challenged the construction of the pipeline at Lake Oahe citing water safety, Federal District Court Judge James Boasberg ordered that a more comprehensive Environmental Impact Study be conducted. He ruled that the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) required it as a result of the controversy surrounding the pipeline.
The pipeline is planned to run from North Dakota to Patoka, Illinois, going through South Dakota and Iowa. While the pipeline does not pass through the Standing Rock reservation, it passes under the nearby Lake Oahe, which is the tribe’s only source of freshwater. With the potential of a negative impact, the tribe became a cooperating agency invited to assist the U.S Army Corps of Engineers to produce the new EIS for the pipeline.
An emergency response to protect Lake Oahe
As a cooperating agency, Standing Rock was authorized to develop or enforce environmental standards and comment on environmental impact statements within their jurisdiction, expertise or authority.
According to the NEPA, a lead agency, the US Army Corps of Engineers, has the ultimate responsibility for the content of the EIS. However, it is supposed to use the environmental analysis and recommendations of cooperating agencies to the maximum extent possible, consistent with its own responsibilities as lead agency.
If the lead agency leaves out a significant issue or ignores the advice and expertise of the cooperating agency, the EIS may be later found to be inadequate.
Although Standing Rock is not privy to Energy Transfer’s entire oil spill emergency plan, the review of the ones made available to them are deemed infeasible. According to Crow Ghost, Energy Transfer’s emergency plans for an oil spill fails to take into consideration the lake’s frequently fluctuating water levels.
“Lake Oahe’s elevation is 12 feet [3.6 meters] below what it was two years ago today, but the Corps continues to release water at Oahe as if it is business as usual,” said Crow Ghost.
The Corps uses the Oahe’s outlet dam tunnels as a way to control flooding in the Missouri river, resulting in fluctuating water levels in the lake.
“The prospect of an oil spill during such low water is truly scary,” Crow Ghost says. Don Holmstrom, a former Director of the U.S. Chemical Safety Board’s Denver office, now serving as the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe’s emergency planning consultant, notes that existing plans are inconsistent with the company’s own spill model.
“Spill response under adverse conditions such as a low Lake Oahe water level or the harsh winter environment of North Dakota, including an oil spill under ice, are seriously lacking,” he said.
According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the concerns made by the tribe are related to what they are still considering within the EIS – specifically on whether to issue an easement for the pipeline to cross Lake Oahe.
“As such, we have not yet reached a decision or determination,” the Army Corps of Engineers deputy director of public affairs told Mongabay by email. “We cannot take a position on the veracity of the allegation. It is something that will be considered in the process as we issue a draft EIS in the coming weeks, open a public comment period, and then move to a final EIS.”
Holmstrom also believes that the Energy Transfer’s worst-case scenario understates how big an oil spill might potentially be. Should an oil spill occur, the tribe’s only source of water will be polluted and negatively affect fish, such as the endangered pallid sturgeon (Scaphirhynchus albus).
Tribal leaders say that a leak from the pipeline could also threaten tribal cultural sites along the Missouri River — a concern that Standing Rock raised in legal filings against DAPL.
Tribal leaders expressed concern that Energy Transfer would not be able to get the equipment needed to contain a spill onto ice and into the water at lake Oahe at the designated location.
“Roads leading to the river and most access points on the reservation in the vicinity of the pipeline are not usable at the present time,” says Crow Ghost.
Janet Alkire, the newly elected Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairperson, says that to ensure the safety of Standing Rock’s Tribal members, the Army Corps must raise Lake Oahe to safe levels or shut down the Dakota Access pipeline immediately.
“Our way of life at Standing Rock relies on our water, and we have to protect it.”
Mongabay reached out to Energy Transfer for a comment but did not receive a response.

The medical aesthetic procedures we know today have come a long way from what they were in the past. With advancements in science and technology, old techniques have adapted to more modern methods that can provide both safety and comfort to patients. With the rise of public demand, new methods of improving medical aesthetic practices are necessary.
In today’s standards, beauty is equal to how much confidence and self-worth you have when it comes to your physical appearance. This is why today, for both men and women alike, undergoing medical aesthetic procedures has become less controversial and more widely accepted.
The growth of the medical aesthetic industry is truly a reflection of how our society has become more progressive and open-minded when it comes to the perception of beauty. In this article, we’re going to talk about 3 of the most popular medical aesthetic treatments and procedures in the 21st century.
The Wonders of Botox
Botox initially became popular in the early years of the 21st century. When celebrities became testaments to the miraculous anti-aging capabilities of Botox, people started lining up to try this medical aesthetic procedure. Since then, Botox has become one of the staples of the anti-aging industry and is still one of the most popular procedures to this day.
Botox works by softening the creases that are formed by wrinkles. As people age, the skin tends to lose elasticity due to the lack of collagen. When Botox is injected, it relaxes the muscles which then reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. After this medical aesthetic procedure, results can usually be observed within 3 to 5 days.
Body Sculpting through Liposuction
In today’s society, having an ideal figure goes hand in hand with attractiveness. This is why medical aesthetic procedures like liposuction continue to be a popular choice among the general public. Liposuction works by suctioning out the unwanted fat in certain areas of the body. The amount of fat that would be removed will be determined by the patient’s ideal figure.
Although there is a form of body sculpting that does not require going under the knife, most people still opt to undergo liposuction as it isn’t particularly painful and patients are under general anesthesia. Discomfort might be experienced after the recovery period which often takes about 8 weeks.
Skin Resurfacing and Rejuvenation
More and more people are becoming keener towards the well-being of their skin. Nowadays, both men and women alike are practicing some form of daily skincare routine. This is also the reason why plenty of skin resurfacing and rejuvenation techniques are gaining more and more popularity in recent years. Medical aesthetic procedures such as microneedling, laser therapy, and radiofrequency treatments are some of the most popular choices among skincare enthusiasts.
While the procedure behind each treatment is different, the concept behind all of them can be considered analogous to one another. They work by removing the dead or damaged layer of skin tissue on the surface of the dermis so that it can be replaced by the new and healthy layer underneath. Most of these medical aesthetic procedures also stimulate the production of collagen to reduce the appearance of scars, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles. | <urn:uuid:67df9144-7c9d-4764-9da8-8055ad82ecbd> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://newshunt360.com/3-commonly-sought-after-medical-aesthetic-procedures-today/ | 2024-04-22T22:41:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.967025 | 661 |

On the other hand, Pakistani Ambassador to the United States Asad Majeed Khan has said that Pakistan-India is grateful for the White House’s efforts on the conflict. The human tragedy is taking action.
In an interview with US media, Pakistan’s ambassador said that the United States would do everything possible in the Taliban deal, there is no way other than peace talks with the Taliban in Afghanistan. Asad said that Iran’s conflict with the United States and Saudi Arabia could further complicate the Afghan peace process. | <urn:uuid:8475c47a-32aa-4b27-b0af-724bf3f6152f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://newsnblogs.com/donald-trump-to-visit-india-this-month/ | 2024-04-22T21:25:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.948664 | 144 |

After you’ve bought the item, take a picture of the receipt through the app. This can be for non-consumable items like clothes, housewares, electronics, or appliances. Pricerazzi uses the receipt amount to scour the internet for a better price, checking online stores and brick and mortar price match policies. If it finds one, you’ll be notified. At this point you can accept the deal and pay the app a success fee of 15 percent. Let’s say Pricerazzi finds the same item somewhere else for $100 less, if you accept the deal then you only pay the app 15 dollars and get back 85 back. Not too bad, right? How many times have you purchased an item and told someone about it only to hear that your friend had gotten a better price. This could be a really great app to use when you buy gadgets and electronics! The price on those items often differs by hundreds of dollars from store to store depending on their current sales.
There are over 250 thousand retail locations in North America that have price match polices yet less than 5 percent of consumers know they exist. That’s a huge percentage of Americans missing out on savings! With today’s technology, why would anyone want to live like that?

The Bronx Democratic County committee has held a meeting and elected the election of a new Bronx Democratic County leader.
The event was held at Monroe College with minimal attendance.
In the County Committee meeting Assemblywoman Latoya Joiner was re-elected as the Bronx Democratic County Committee Chair, and the meeting ended rather quickly with only minor technical problems.
It was predicted that Senator Bailey would be the new Bronx Democratic County Leader.
There had been talk of a challenger, but that was all just talk as the person named Assemblyman Victor Pichardo was the person who nominated Senator Bailey for County Leader.
After a few seconds of the nomination the vote was called.
It was also predicted that Senator Bailey would win easily, but that it would not be unanimous.
One or more district leaders are expected to to abstain rather than vote no against Senator Bailey, and the prediction was right on the money.
78th A.D. Female District Leader Maria Gonzalez was absent, and 80th A.D. Female District Leader Irene Estrada abstained. Ms. Estrada would later tell me that she voted the way the people of her district wanted her to do. She also mentioned not seeing her state senator, but the 80th A.D. is represented by three different state senators, with State Senator Alessandria Biaggi representing most of the district.
New Bronx Democratic County Leader State Senator Jamaal Bailey took his seat, gave thanks to all those who voted for him, and spoke about bringing the Bronx Democratic Party forward, by involving all Bronx Democrats to help him.
It should be noted that Senator Bailey like the previous county leader is a Mets fan. | <urn:uuid:1137eba3-9373-4029-b4e0-6b860fcfd053> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://newyorkparrot.com/index.php/2020/10/02/state-senator-jamaal-bailey-elected-new-bronx-democratic-county-leader/ | 2024-04-22T22:20:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.990223 | 342 |
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said Monday he hoped a wildfire that has forced thousands of people to evacuate on the holiday island of Tenerife will be stabilized “in the coming days”.
The blaze broke out late Tuesday in a mountainous northeastern area, quickly morphing into the Canary Islands’ biggest-ever wildfire.
“We hope the weather will help us to declare the fire as stabilized in the coming hours, coming days. May the weather be on our side,” Sanchez told reporters during a visit to the island.
So far, the fire, which now has a perimeter of around 90 kilometers (55 miles), has burned through nearly 41,000 hectares (28,700 acres) of land, which is about 6.5 percent of Tenerife’s overall surface area, the regional government said.
It has forced more than 12,000 people to flee their homes, it added.
Sanchez said his government would classify the areas affected by the blaze as disaster zones, a move which will trigger emergency subsidies and other support measures.
“The government of Spain is going to get as involved in the work of reconstruction as it is now with the task of civil protection,” he said in the village of Arafo which has been affected by the blaze.
Some 600 firefighters and soldiers backed by 22 water-dropping aircraft were battling the wildfire, which is affecting 12 municipalities.
Local authorities said cooler temperatures and weaker overnight winds had helped firefighters make gains in their battle against the blaze.
“The worst is behind us,” the Canary Islands’ regional leader Fernando Clavijo said on Monday morning during an interview with Spanish public radio.
- ‘Endangered lives’ –
The fire appears to have been started deliberately, he said, adding he hoped Spain’s Guardia Civil police force will be able to arrest the “raving lunatics” responsible.
“Not only do the put in danger the natural heritage of a marvelous island, they also endangered the lives of hundreds of people,” he added.
Contacted by AFP, the local Guardia Civil did not confirm the theory that the fire was caused intentionally.
“The investigation is continuing, it is far too early to know. There is a high probability that it was provoked, but we cannot rule out any line of investigation for the moment,” a Guardia Civil spokeswoman said.
The blaze broke out after the archipelago suffered a heatwave that left many areas tinder dry.
The Canary Islands typically experience spring-like temperatures all year but the mercury soared to hit 40 degrees Celsius (104 Fahrenheit) in some parts.
The seven-island archipelago is located off the northwest coast of Africa and southwest of mainland Spain. At their nearest point, the islands are 100 kilometers (60 miles) from Morocco.
As global temperatures rise due to climate change, scientists have warned that heatwaves will become more frequent and intense.
Last year, Spain suffered more than 500 blazes that destroyed more than 300,000 hectares, making it the worst-hit country in Europe, according to the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS).
So far this year, it has had 340 fires, which have ravaged almost 76,000 hectares, EFFIS figures show.

With so many young people using cell phones, texting has exploded with expanded data features, and addictive interaction on social media. With prolonged use of cellphones, tablets and laptops, many chiropractors and massage therapists are treating ‘Text Neck’, or leaning into the screen.
Before this happens to you, these are tips that you can do to help deal with it –
- Dial the font size up on your screen. Whether you use your tablet, laptop or cellphone most often, sometimes the font size will cause you to squint or lean in to the screen. This isn’t what Sheryl Sandberg meant by the term. On your computer, Hold down CTRL + the dial on your mouse, and dial to your preferred size of font. On the tablet/smartphone (Apple), go to General > Accessibility > Larger Text > Drag Slider Right. Check your Android phone or tablet in the settings area, for similar prompts.
- Take time to look away and focus. Leaning into the screen also affects your eyesight, akin to moving to movie projector closer to the screen. It also puts a ton of pressure on your neck, as it’s holding up your head in a position that it was not really designed for it to be. For every inch you lean into the screen it adds 10 pounds of weight to your head and neck. Take a few minutes to look away from your screen, and focus on a faraway object.
- Look up. When you lean in to your screen for a prolonged time, it is about the
same as repeating the same action over and over. This contributes to headaches and stiff necks. Allow your head to loll back, and lower your shoulders. Don’t worry; your head won’t fall off, even though it just may feel like it. Close your eyes, and take a few deep breaths. Definitely do this several times a day – It gives your neck and eyes a break.
- Use the dictation feature. One of the great things you probably never use on your phone is the dictation feature. As often as I am live tweeting (#Gladiator4Life), I have learned that dictation helps to keep up with the program, and keeps you from looking down SO often. I use the mic, and clip it in my ear. Just make sure that you proofread what it is writing, on your behalf. (Dang autocorrect!) Once the software gets used to your style, it tends to make corrections on its own.
- PUT THE PHONE DOWN – I get it – when I was in junior high (mumblemumble) years ago, I had classes with my best friend on EARTH all day for a year. I LOVED it; School was a daily hangout all day long. Then, we’d get home, and then get on the phone for hours. We even watched Jeopardy over the phone. This was back in the day when even the house line had a minutes plan. I truly understand what it means to just want to share every single thought with your friends all the time. But at some point, you just have to put the phone down. It’s hard to disengage at first, but actually talking in person does have its’ perks.
- Get a massage – Of course getting the muscles to relax increases flexibility, range of motion
in your neck and relieves headaches. Prolonged texting with your neck craned forward without taking a break can cause pinched nerves, arthritis, and over time, disc degeneration. You are far too young to have to deal with that. Get a massage, or maybe an adjustment, if the problem cannot be solved with just the massage. These treatments are a great compliment to each other.
Note – This blog post is dedicated to Michele McDonald, who gave me the inspiration to write this post. If you have any questions about massage, please feel free to ask away! | <urn:uuid:b610f678-6fb2-42b0-87cf-86f7b2f6f1ee> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://niamassage.com/category/stretching/ | 2024-04-22T23:16:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.953819 | 819 |

Contemporary Charcoals: Brianna Lee
This week’s blog, the next in our “Contemporary Charcoals” series, features the work of California native Brianna Lee. Blending a love for the technique of the Dutch Golden Age masters with her unyielding inspiration gleaned from the everyday, Brianna infuses her works both in charcoal and oil with an unabashed and refreshing vibrancy. Brianna took some time out of her busy schedule (in addition to accepting commissions, she also manages her own atelier) to tell us a bit more about her artistic ideology. For more of Brianna’s work, check out her website, her Facebook page, and also her atelier website, South Coast Art Center.

NC: What do you hope your works communicate to the viewer?
BL: My ideas are continuously evolving but I think ultimately I want to move the viewer emotionally. I believe that beauty has the power to give hope to others in their darkest moments and that art can elevate us above the mundane demands of everyday life. It is similar to soaking in a beautiful garden or coastline: it rejuvenates the spirit.
NC: What drew you to working in charcoal? What advantages do you think it has over other media?
BL: I think Salvador Dali said it best: “Drawing is the honesty of art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.” I think that mastering charcoal medium is essential for any artist. It is challenging to control and teaches you so much skill before you attempt painting. I often work in charcoal because I find that the medium has a certain quietness about it and it sits easily in a room. A drawing isn't loud and shouting for attention, yet it pulls you in. There is a certain grace about a well-crafted drawing.
NC: The artist has to choose when a work is “done”. How do you know when a work is complete? How do you know when to stop “editing”?
BL: I think it is important to be objective about your own work, to try and see it through others eyes. I try to look at each of my painting as I would one of my students’ works. I ask myself, “If this was my students painting, what would I tell them?” I think most artists experience dissatisfaction with their work in the end. This is why it is so difficult to finish a piece and let it go. I read once that William Bouguereau approached every fresh canvas thinking it would be his masterpiece. In the end, he always felt he missed the mark and lost enthusiasm, wishing to abandon the painting and start over. And he finished a lot of fantastic work! Sometimes, I force myself to move on because you can’t solve all the world’s problems in one painting, and I figure if Bouguereau felt this way, it’s okay if I do too!
NC: What’s the best advice you’ve received about becoming an artist?
BL: My late grandpa always told me I could do anything I set my mind to and that I should always live in the “now” and be present everyday. I can still hear his voice in my head saying those words. Being an artist is a multi-tasking career. . . .Goals are good to have but there is no point in focusing solely on your destination. Part of the joy is the journey. This is why I cherish these words. It is my reminder to not fret about tomorrow and just enjoy today - be mindful and present.
NC: How do you set up your studio? What are three items you need in your studio to get started?
BL: My studio (above) is part of a live-work loft in downtown Santa Ana, California, that also operates as my teaching atelier (South Coast Art Center). So, often my studio is full of easels and tables from classes and tons of paintings and demos laying around. That being said, there are three items I must have. The first is a simple wood taboret/palette with a monitor stand attached (for photo references). I often work from a monitor when I don't have the option of working from life. The second is great lighting, as balanced light is crucial for painting. I also have great big windows in my studio that I will use for natural light in the late afternoons. Third are my essential tools: painting supplies, Rosemary brushes, and of course Nitram Charcoals!
NC: Can you tell us more about one of your favorite creations? Where did you create it? Does it have a story attached?
BL: My favorite piece is Metamorphose because it represents three major related events in my life. Metamorphose (above) was initially inspired by my first ever trip to Europe. I went to Germany and Prague on a study abroad trip that summer. We saw so many inspiring works of art, like Alphonse Mucha’s Slavic Epic and many massive multi-figure paintings by Peter Paul Rubens. I was blown away and couldn't wait to get back to the easel to begin on the multi-figure composition I was envisioning. As it was the first I had ever attempted, and also as I was working under a tight deadline of 2 months even while studying full time at Laguna College of Art and Design and teaching, it turned out to be a huge learning curve. I wasn't sure I could pull it off, but with lots of late nights and coffee I managed to finish in time for the Germany and Prague Exhibition in Laguna Beach. The good news: the painting sold! It was the largest painting I had attempted and it now sits in a collector’s lovely home there. A very happy ending! | <urn:uuid:11f89010-c8d1-4e57-b8fc-d33ec5b7ffda> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://nitramcharcoal.com/blogs/blog/contemporary-charcoals-brianna-lee | 2024-04-22T21:44:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.978384 | 1,220 |
From drought to flooding: NJ ends Labor Day Weekend with ‘too much’ rain
After a hot, dry summer and a mainly gorgeous Labor Day Weekend so far, a pattern shift is going to lead to New Jersey's biggest rain chance in months. Multiple inches of rain is just what "the drought doctor" ordered. However, this deluge could bring too much rain too quickly, raising flash flooding concerns on Tuesday.
A slow-moving cold front will inch toward New Jersey on this Labor Day Monday. That frontal boundary will serve as a highway for a couple pieces of energy, which will eventually drive rain through the entire state. Given the slow forward speed, our moisture-rich air mass, and the likelihood of training (backbuilding) thunderstorms, we have to ring alarm bells for flooding potential.
—Monday daytime... Most of New Jersey stays dry, with mostly cloudy skies and highs in the 80s. The exception will be northern NJ — approximately north of Interstate 78 — where showers will become more and more prominent through the afternoon and evening hours.
—Monday evening... Starting around sunset (7 p.m.), rain will become steadier and more widespread. The southern coast of New Jersey will be the last to get wet, as raindrops may hold off until early Tuesday morning.
—Tuesday morning... The post-holiday-weekend back-to-work commute looks very wet, with ponding (big puddles) possible. (Especially to the north, where it will have been raining for on-and-off for over 12 hours at this point.) Parts of NJ may catch a lull in rainfall through the late morning hours, as we end up "in between" storm systems.
—Tuesday midday through early evening... Rain round two. This one looks less steady (i.e. not raining everywhere at any given time). But rainfall is expected to become quite heavy in pockets, as "juicy" air contributes to downpours. The axis of heaviest rain will likely shift toward central and southern New Jersey at this time.
—Tuesday night... Rain dials back. The flooding threat will subside, although scattered showers and thunderstorms may still contribute to wet roads and low visibility.
—Wednesday... Showers will linger through at least the morning hours along the coast. Some models keep conditions damp and dreary right through Wednesday late afternoon.
All of New Jersey is expected to pick up a half-inch to an inch of rainfall. That is not enough to cause problems.
However, it looks like a wide area of the Garden State will see 1 to 3 inches of total rainfall by Wednesday. For some, that's more rain than we've seen in over two months. Plus, much of that storm total will come from 1-2" per hour downpours, contributing to the flash flooding concerns.
The worst-case scenario is even more concerning. Over the last several runs, several forecast models have pumped out a narrow swath of 3 to 6 inch rainfall over New Jersey. That is very concerning. (Again, especially considering the downpour potential.) Clearly enough to inundate storm drains and streets. Possibly enough to swamp cars and basements.
One saving grace here is our recent drought. Rivers, streams, and creeks are all running low, which means they will take longer to reach flood stage and overflow. Plus, the ground will take a while to become fully saturated. (Although I have heard that dry ground can repel heavy rain and cause ponding and flooding just as easily.)
All things considered, it is likely that someone in New Jersey sees serious flooding over the next 36 to 48 hours. Will it be Ida/Floyd level flooding? No way. But for the reasons I have laid out, this batch of very wet weather will likely go beyond "typical summertime thunderstorm" expectations.
The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for 18 of New Jersey's 21 counties:
—5 p.m. Monday to Noon Tuesday... Northwestern New Jersey... Hunterdon, Morris, Somerset, Sussex, and Warren counties.
—5 p.m. Monday to 5 p.m. Tuesday... Northeastern New Jersey... Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Passaic, and Union counties.
—6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday... Central and Southwestern New Jersey... Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, Mercer, Midlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Salem counties.
—No Flood Watch at this time... Southeastern New Jersey... Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland counties.
Note: These thunderstorms present only a flooding threat. Severe weather (wind, hail, tornadoes) is unlikely.
You may notice I have given very little geographical detail about where in the Garden State the heaviest totals are likely to fall. That is deliberate — it is unclear whether northern New Jersey (round one) or central New Jersey (round two) or even eastern Pennsylvania has the greatest potential to pick up 3+ inch rainfall. It has to do with the timing and orientation of the juicest air, leading to the strongest thunderstorm cells.
That's why we have such a widespread flood watch by NWS. Although it is not a slam dunk forecast, everyone in New Jersey needs to stay vigilant as the soaking begins.
In addition, I am curious to see how the super-dry antecedent ground condition will play with heavy rain and contribute to flooding. Such a hydrologic concern is a bit beyond the scope of my meteorological expertise and training — I am not a soil scientist.
Finally, it is unclear how long rain will linger into Wednesday. It is clear the flooding threat will be over. But will we see damp and dreary conditions all day? Or clearing skies by lunchtime?
A strong cold front on Wednesday will sweep "the junk" out to sea. And we'll be left with delightful, seasonable September weather for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Our next chance of rain comes into view in the Sunday-Monday time frame.
Be smart and stay safe out there. We'll be with you on-air and online all day Tuesday with your latest news, traffic, and weather updates. | <urn:uuid:db45d568-f490-42b3-a932-9a80139403f3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://nj1015.com/from-drought-to-flooding-nj-ends-labor-day-weekend-with-too-much-rain/ | 2024-04-22T22:41:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.950027 | 1,278 |

This church dates to the medieval period (13th/14th century) but is unusual because it was never fully finished, as evidenced by the incomplete top of the west tower. Some later restoration did occur here and the exterior of the nave, chancel and south porch all date to the Victorian period. Inside are a number of interesting features including an octagonal font brought here from Woodbastwick, poppyhead benches and an hourglass stand fixed to the pulpit.
All of the stained glass appears to have been designed by Alex Booker c.1890/1900.

RED FEATHER LAKES, Colo. – Colorado Parks and Wildlife recently conducted the second phase of a project to reintroduce Greenback Cutthroat Trout to George and Cornelius Creeks, located on the Roosevelt National Forest in Larimer County. The removal of non-native species is being done in preparation for the reintroduction of greenback cutthroat trout to the creeks. The greenback cutthroat trout is Colorado’s State Fish and is listed as “Threatened” under the Endangered Species Act.
George Creek and its tributary stream Cornelius Creek were the sites of a previous greenback cutthroat trout reintroduction in the early 1980s. The stream has since been reinvaded by non-native brook trout and brown trout, as well the parasite that causes whirling disease, a deadly disease for trout. For the re-establishment of greenbacks to succeed, all other fish currently in the stream population must be removed. This removal is done using rotenone, an EPA-approved organic compound used for decades to control fish populations. The stream must then be left fishless for several years for whirling disease to vacate the system.
As part of the reintroduction project, the U.S. Forest Service temporarily closed (Aug. 23-26) the area around upper Cornelius Creek for public health and safety during the non-native fish removal activities. The closure included forest system roads 188 from its junction with 219 southwest to the National Forest boundary. Additionally, access was restricted into the Cornelius Creek watershed through CPW’s Upper Cherokee State Wildlife Area.
This second phase of the George Creek reintroduction only involves the eradication of non-native trout from four miles of Cornelius Creek, but 14 miles of stream will be re-stocked with greenbacks when all three project phases are completed, drastically improving the conservation status of the species. | <urn:uuid:0ab6ea25-3207-475d-89e9-5e13648d448d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://northfortynews.com/category/news/u-s-forest-service-temporarily-closed-upper-cornelius-creek-for-fish-removal/ | 2024-04-22T23:48:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.949592 | 392 |

A science-based guide to seed cycling for hormone balance and to support fertility! Learn what seeds to use, how it supports your hormones and how to incorporate it into your daily routine.
Have you heard of seed cycling? This hormone supporting practice is one of the top trending wellness practices, and for good reason. More and more women are struggling with hormone imbalances.
Women’s hormones are a complex system that functions in a delicate balance. However, these hormones are greatly influenced by your diet, exercise, sleep, stress levels, and environmental toxins. This means that any of these factors can throw your hormones out of that delicate balance. In turn, a slight hormone imbalance can become the underlying issue for a number of health concerns, including irregular periods, acne, PCOS, thyroid disorders, and chronic fatigue.
Seed cycling is one of the easiest ways you can support your hormones in a gentle, yet effective way. This simple practice helps support balanced hormone levels, reduces PMS symptoms, boosts fertility and can help stimulate menstruation if it’s absent (amenorrhea). While seed cycling alone isn’t a cure-all, when incorporated consistently (especially with other hormone stabling practices) it’s a great way to take advantage of the healing powers in food. Read on to learn all about seed cycling and how to incorporate it into your daily routine.
WHAT IS SEED CYCLING?
Seed cycling is the practice of eating specific seeds during the two main phases of your menstrual cycle (follicular and luteal) to help promote the healthy balance of estrogen and progesterone levels. It’s a gentle and completely natural way to reduce PMS symptoms, boost fertility, and can help stimulate menstruation if it’s absent (amenorrhea), and other symptoms as a result of hormonal imbalances.
Seed cycling can be used at any stage of a woman’s life (including post-menopause). However, it’s especially beneficial when coming off of hormonal birth control or struggling with post-birth control syndrome symptoms like acne, irregular periods or missing periods, or PMS.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR MENSTRUAL CYCLE
To better understand seed cycling, you need to understand the two main phases of your menstrual cycle.
The first phase, the follicular phase, begins the first day of your menstrual bleed until ovulation. This typically lasts around 14 days. The second phase, the luteal phase, starts at ovulation until your next menstrual bleed. Luteal phase length can vary but this is also typically around 14 days.
When your hormone levels are balanced, estrogen rises during the first half of your cycle. During the second half of your cycle progesterone levels rise while estrogen levels slowly decline. An imbalance between estrogen and progesterone can contribute to PMS symptoms, menstrual cramps, acne, short luteal phases, anovulation, irregular cycles, and amenorrhea.
HOW TO START SEED CYCLING FOR HORMONE BALANCE?
Seed cycling is quite simple. You incorporate 1-2 tbsps of pumpkin and flax seeds daily during the follicular of your cycle. Once you ovulate, you incorporate sunflower and sesame seeds daily during your luteal phase.
DAYS 1-14 OF YOUR CYCLE (OR MENSTRUATION TO OVULATION)
- 1-2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
- 1-2 tablespoons ground pumpkin seeds
DAYS 15-28 OF YOUR CYCLE (OR OVULATION TO MENSTRUATION)
- 1-2 tablespoons ground sunflower seeds
- 1-2 tablespoons ground sesame seeds
If you don’t have a 28-day menstrual cycle, don’t worry! Many women don’t. It’s best to follow the 14 day cycle for each phase of seeds. By staying on track with the 2-week rotation, the process will nudge your body into an optimal menstrual cycle rhythm and help you get back on track.
WHAT IF YOU HAVE AN IRREGULAR OR MISSING PERIOD (AMENORRHEA)?
It’s possible to incorporate seed cycling even if you have irregular or missing periods. Instead of rotating with the phases of your cycling, you’ll follow the phases of the moon as a general guideline.
MOON PHASES SEED CYCLING GUIDELINES
- Days 1-14 (new moon to full moon), eat pumpkin seeds and flax seeds.
- Days 15-28 (full moon to new moon), eat sunflower seeds and sesame seeds.
It may seem odd or even a little woo-woo, but the moon is powerful. It controls the waves in the ocean, can affect our center of gravity, and have an effect on your menstrual cycle. Have you ever noticed that the moon and the average menstrual cycle are both 28 days? This is no coincidence. Many women’s cycles (when balanced) naturally follow the phases of the moon.
How does seed cycling support hormone balance?
In truth, there is little scientific research that supports the direct relationship between seed cycling and improved hormonal balance in women. There just haven’t been studies done on this practice. But that doesn’t mean it doesn’t work! It’s important to keep an open mind with nutrition and natural healing practices since there are limitations in research and lack of studies on specific topics.
While studies don’t directly link seed cycling to hormone balance, they show clear correlations that specific nutritional components in flax, pumpkin, sesame and sunflower seeds may play a role in supporting your natural hormonal cycle.
During the first phase of the menstrual cycle (follicular phase), pumpkin seeds and flax seeds help improve our estrogen levels while preventing excess estrogen. Flax seeds contain lignans which bind to excess estrogen. Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc which helps support progesterone production as you move towards the progesterone rise in the second phase of your cycle.
During the second phase of your cycle (luteal phase), sesame seeds and sunflower seeds help boost progesterone production. Sesame seeds are a rich source of zinc which help boost progesterone production and also contain lignans that help block excess estrogen while progesterone rises. Sunflower seeds are high in vitamin E and selenium. Vitamin E can help boost progesterone production, while selenium helps detox the liver of excess estrogen.
THE NUTRITIONAL COMPONENTS IN SEEDS
Flax seeds are considered phytoestrogens, which have a weak estrogen-like effect in the body. (1) This naturally supports healthy estrogen production. Flax seeds are unique in that they also contain nutritional components called lignans which can help to bind excess estrogen. (2) Research shows that flax seeds help in lengthening the luteal phase, improving ovulation and reducing common PMS symptoms such as breast pain and cramping. (3)
Sesame seeds also contain lignans which help to block excess estrogen during the second phase of your menstrual cycle when progesterone rises. Research shows that sesame seeds are beneficial for postmenopausal women by improving blood lipids, antioxidants, and sex hormones. (4)
Pumpkin and sesame seeds both contain high levels of zinc. This mineral helps to improve the formation of the corpus luteum, a transient endocrine structure that develops in the ovary. The corpus luteum is responsible for producing progesterone and stimulates the uterus to thicken in preparation for potential implantation. (5) (6)
OMEGA-3S, OMEGA-6S + VITAMIN E
Both flax and pumpkin seeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3s promote blood flow to the uterus, increase progesterone secretion, and help maintain healthy cell membranes. (7) In addition, Vitamin E has been linked to reducing PMS symptoms. (8) Research also shows that Vitamin E, omega-3s and omega-6s found in pumpkin, sesame, sunflower, and flax seeds are essential for hormone production and follicle function.
Sunflower seeds, high in the trace mineral selenium, supports estrogen detoxification in the liver. (9) (2) This helps reduce excess estrogen during the luteal phase when estrogen declines and progesterone rises.
How To Incorporate seed cycling Into Your Everyday Routine:
It’s recommended to eat 1-2 tablespoons of the specific seeds each day. Raw, ground seeds are best, especially for the flax and sesame. You can simply use a coffee/spice grinder to grind the seeds. I grind about a cup at a time and keep it in a glass jar in the fridge or freezer.
Think of your seeds like hormone balancing sprinkles. You can add them to anything! If you’re looking for ways to incorporate your seeds, here’s some ideas to get you started.
Some creative ways to use your seed cycling seed mix include:
But why not make your life easier? This is why I love Beeya Seed Cycling Blends.
Beeya Seed Cycling Blend
Beeya is a done for you seed cycling blend that provides the nutrients to bring back balance to your natural hormonal rhythm. Beeya’s Phase One blend consists of freshly ground pumpkin seeds and flax seeds with the addition of hemp seed and chamomile to support your estrogens levels during the first half of your cycle. Beeya’s Phase Two blend consists of freshly ground sunflower and sesame, hemp seeds, and chamomile to support progesterone in the second half of your cycle.You can feel confident that you’re getting quality with Beeya. Their blends are 100% organic, non-GMO, gluten-free and third party tested.
I love the convenience of having the fresh ground seeds on hand in my fridge. Consistency is key for seeing results and Beeya makes it easy for me to stay consistent. Plus, they ensure the highest quality and have the added functional ingredients like hemp and chamomile which I was regularly consuming in my diet. When there’s quality and convenience, it’s a no brainer for me.
How Long Does It Take To See Results?
Seed cycling takes time to work with your body. It can take at least three months of daily use to start noticing the benefits. Keeping a journal to track your symptoms throughout the month can help you identify the shifts happening over the months.
You might be wondering, do I have to stick with this for life? The truth is, it’s entirely up to you. Seed cycling is such an easy and gentle way to naturally support your hormone balance daily, you may want to consider it. It may feel daunting to think about doing this forever, but once you get into a habit, it may become second nature. I recommend taking it month-by-month. Making a monthly goal to seed cycle makes it feel much more manageable.
THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU START
GRIND YOUR SEEDS
Use a coffee or spice grinder to grind or chop the seeds (especially the flax and sesame). This helps your body digest them. That being said, if you aren’t able to grind them, that’s okay. Incorporating the seeds is better than not because they aren’t ground. The only exception is flax seeds, which your body can’t break down or absorb if left whole.
If you don’t want the extra step of grinding your seeds, I recommend Beeya Seed Cycling Blends, a freshly ground blend of seeds for each phase of your cycle. Having their done-for-you blends takes the extra steps of preparing and grinding your seeds off your plate.
USE RAW SEEDS
It’s best to use raw (unroasted, unsalted) seeds to ensure they have all of their nutrients intact and nothing was lost in the roasting process. Using organic seeds when available helps reduce pesticide exposure which can disrupt hormones.
STORE IN THE REFRIGERATOR OR FREEZER
The polyunsaturated fats in seeds oxidize and go rancid very quickly, especially in sunlight and warmer temperatures. Keeping the seeds in a cool, dark place like the fridge or freezer to keep them fresh.
TRACK YOUR CYCLE
This is so important! While you can follow the moon phases, it’s best to rotate seeds with your unique cycle. In order to do this, you need to track your cycle.
I recommend the basal body temperature method for tracking your cycle. You can use an oral thermometer before you get out of bed in the morning. But I prefer to use the Ava Bracelet. It tracks your basal body temperature and other parameters that can help predict ovulation. I truly believe this is the reason we got pregnant so quickly! It’s 100% worth the investment.
PRIORITIZE HORMONE BALANCE
Keep in mind that seed cycling isn’t a cure-all. Hormone imbalances are often a result of digestive issues, blood sugar imbalances, stress, a lack of dietary fat and protein, lack of sleep, and environmental toxins (like your cleaning and skincare products). You can’t expect seed cycling to give you the boost you need without prioritizing good sleep, managing your stress, eating well and staying hydrated and limiting your exposure to hormone-disrupting toxins.
Need More Guidance?
Hormone balance is complex since there are so many factors that play into this delicate balance. It’s important to work with a doctor to test your hormone levels and properly diagnose your condition. Once you have this information a dietitian can help make diet and lifestyle changes to help you balance and maintain optimal hormone levels. | <urn:uuid:4ca3134c-2214-4b8b-adc6-87dc894968e1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://nourishedbynutrition.com/seed-cycling-for-hormone-balance/ | 2024-04-23T00:07:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.902882 | 2,926 |

Have a look at it and see where you’re at with your health changes using our motto – Nourish . Move . Restore . Connect – so that’s eating, activity, sleep and relaxation, relationships and so on.
The stages are:
Our members will have already passed this stage. This is when making a change isn’t even on someone’s mind. So it might be someone overweight who is just happy with that and is giving no thought to changing or doesn’t understand why change might be necessary.
You’ve likely been here already but could also come back to this point several times, or forever. It’s where you’re thinking about making a change but not taking any action.
So this would be when you are ready to do something like joining the Nutrition for Everyone plan. You’ve contemplated and are ready to do something. You were preparing to change your eating and life. When you’re a member it could also be if you haven’t been following the plan and are preparing to follow it next week, getting prepared to make an important change.
This is where it’s at!
This is you actually doing things that change your health and your life. Actually changing the way you eat, doing exercise and being more active, going to bed earlier, meditating and tackling stress, sharing time with friends and family. It feels good, it’s where the magic happens.
Now this is where some people start to falter. Maintenance is not sexy, it’s routine.
It’s when things become second nature, it’s practising those changes you made forever and feeling comfortable about it. It is the opposite of yo-yo’ing. It’s calm and continuous. It also feels good. Lots of Nuushers have reached this stage and stayed there and stayed with us too, for the learning we provide, the encouragement and support (through our private Facebook group) as well as the lovely food.
At the maintenance stage you can just go out of the circle and keep that up happily forever.
Or you might…
Very common in diet and exercise world.
People make a great start but find it hard to maintain, they want to revert to their old habits because they feel comfy. It takes an average of five months for people to really start to show ingrained changes when they follow the Nutrition for Everyone plan but what happens sometimes is they start off well for about a month then it gradually starts to tail off and after that five months is up they stop.
They go back into pre-contemplation and that circle starts all over again, often for the rest of their lives. I see this with people starting on our Personalised Nutrition plan – after a few weeks they’ll move to the Nutrition for Everyone plan, and then after a few more weeks I stop hearing from them altogether. They leave the plans and then I see them again in a year’s time, which I’m very happy to do but sad that the person may be in this cycle until the day they die.
It’s all about action and maintenance
What I really want for you and your health and happiness is action and maintenance and that’s why I try hard to help our members learn the whys and wherefores, so you’re more mentally signed up to the change.
People can resist lasting change because they feel it removes something they value. They might think changing the way they eat or sleep removes some of their freedoms but it’s actually very freeing because it widens people’s outlook, gives them new ways of living, eating and feeling and restores and protects health. I think nothing is more valuable than that.
Other people might embrace the change once they experience how good it makes them feel, there’s no going back, they value that feeling above the comfort of their old habits. They can also subconsciously resist because they don’t know who they’ll be if they adopt these new habits. They don’t now how to be that person. Sometimes they even feel they don’t deserve to be that person or that it puts pressure on them to be perfect (it really doesn’t), or they think they’ll lose their coping mechanisms such as eating when stressed.

Filipino designer Xylk Lorena is making the Birkin bag a whole lot more accessible than you think.
Growing up in the Philippines, it’s oddly normal to see tote bags, tees, and even sneakers stamped with a politician’s name and face on it. Remember when the internet had a lot to say about the infamous “Air Binays” from years ago? Call it consumerism-obsessed, tacky merch, or even “camp” as you wish, but for rising Filipino designer Xylk Lorena, there’s the untapped potential in this design formula that strangely works wonders when done tastefully. Satire may just be the best word to describe his language as a designer.
Cue in his latest project, “expensive grocery bags,” where you can now own a Birkin except Xylk decided to print them on sako bags. This bizarre idea slowly became viral on Instagram and fashion Twitter, with fashion geeks applauding its socio-economic implications disguised as cheeky design. “Do you know who I am?” and “Can I talk to your manager?” are just some of the bag’s hilarious names in this collection, obviously referencing the viral, unhinged videos of Karens all over the world.
Below, we had a little catch up with the Toronto-based designer on how his streetwear brand came to be thanks to his obsession with Dexter’s Laboratory and having a thick Filipino accent in a foreign land.
CONTINUE READING: It’s The Sit Down: Blackpink Is Seated In This Filipino Designer’s Chair
Tell us about yourself. How does it feel like growing up outside of the Philippines? How were you able to foster that connection with your aesthetic as a fashion designer?
When I was 10, my family and I moved to St. Jamestown, Bleecker in downtown Toronto. I’d say 70% of the kids in my school were Filipinos. There was a big Filipino community present, but I came from Manila, so I know what taho is supposed to taste like you know? But to be completely honest, as soon as I got here, I kind of forgot about being Filipino. Everything is kind of designed to make you feel like you should hide that stuff, especially back in those days, I think. Instead of bringing longganisa and pancit canton that’s all mushed up into a gigantic blob by lunch time into class, you’d rather have a sandwich of course, maybe some chicken nuggets. I didn’t even know I had a thick-ass accent until Filipino kids started mocking me and calling me “fob.” I thought I spoke English perfectly to be honest.
Now, everything they used to make me feel ashamed of, I’m putting at the forefront and into anything that I make. That Filipino humor and ingenuity, that thick Pinoy accent are part of my design language.
What was your earliest memory as a creative? At what age did you start exploring design?
We didn’t have cable growing up, so the only time I ever watched cartoons was when I went over to my best friend’s house who lived in a gated subdivision just one street over. We’d watch Cartoon Network all the time and I’d tune into Dexter’s Laboratory religiously. I used to pretend and imagine I had a secret lab built in the room that I shared with my sisters. I’m not sure when exactly I started exploring design, but I have a feeling that whenever I used my imagination, those were my first steps.
How was it like establishing your identity as a Filipino designer compared to streetwear brands who more often than not, ride the hype? Were there any unfortunate encounters when you started?
I’m pretty confident that we’re still in the early stages of this, but here’s what I got so far. I believe that I have a unique perspective and outlook on design because of the simple fact that I got to live in Manila long enough that I observed what people do there and moved to North America and saw what people do here. All I do as a designer is be a bridge between the two. I think brands often reflect the personalities of their designers and I think most designers draw from the need to express themselves creatively, which is great, but I draw from the need to solve a problem.
We’d watch Cartoon Network all the time and I’d tune into Dexter’s Laboratory religiously. I used to pretend and imagine I had a secret lab built in the room that I shared with my sisters.
Aside from your cheeky Birkin grocery bags that are now slowly gaining cult status in the fashion world, what else are you planning to release in the near future?
What are some of the milestones in your career so far?
Getting our office space. Shout out to Hullmark, the best in the world. The fact that I haven’t turned down any requests to hang out/family party because “I have work” is something that I’m proud of. I’m trying to practice good time management. Bringing my best friends LiFE DESiGNER #2 Feef & LiFE DESiGNER #13 Coolin to the Philippines for three months doing what we love and meeting my family meant a lot to me and is something I wanna do annually. Showing our lookbook in Paris during fashion week was life changing. Getting invited to the Nike World Headquarters and walking around campus was a dream come true. Doing Complex Con again for the second time is pretty cool, too. Man, we did a lot this year.
What is your advice to young Filipino creatives, mostly those who don’t have the tools, connections and resources?
In Manila, me and my cousin parked his motorcycle in this outdoor parking lot during a sunny day. We left after about two hours and came back to his bike with a flattened cardboard box and a rock on top of it. A man comes and take sit off and my cousin gives him whatever change he had in his pocket. That’s LiFE DESiGN. Solve a problem, the rest will follow.

Amy Kaherl is being honored as a Champion of Change for her accomplishments as a crowdfunding pioneer.
Every month, about 300 Detroiters each pay $5 for soup, salad, bread, and a vote to support a creative local project for social change. The music is exciting, the lights are dim, and people sit on the floor around old doors and boards that are converted into temporary tables. We are ready to listen to, and collaborate with, people who want to make Detroit better—from a 12-year-old boy who wants a clean park next to his school, to a 40-year-old woman who wants to help others learn financial literacy. The opportunities are open for anything to happen!
Through Detroit SOUP, neighbors have given neighbors over $27,000 for projects related to urban agriculture, art, social justice, entrepreneurship, technology, and education. It’s pretty amazing to watch people gather together, listen to these presenters in total silence, and then eat, share, and vote together.
SOUP has a natural way of connecting people. We are meeting to have a shared experience. People can bump elbows sitting next to one another on the floor, stand a little less awkwardly in line together, and talk about what project they think would best benefit from their $5. We have watched friendships made, jobs found, resources shared, projects find new collaborators, and even a couple meet and marry.
We share works of art from fellow Detroiters to explore and engage others. We want the ideas of participation, art in the everyday, and civic engagement to resonate in our work. The people are the power and the dinner is the act of what we know is good: giving to one another, listening, asking questions, participating together, engaging in conversations about how to make things better, and practicing our role in democracy. Multiple races, ethnicities, religions, and philosophies gather together. We get to vote our ideals, and might end up changed or challenged in the process.
The project is simple. In a world where many things seem polished and perfect, we aim to create a space where we acknowledge the imperfect. We are exploring and navigating what a new Detroit can look like, and SOUP acts as a catalyst to provide an opportunity to know what people are thinking on the ground level. There is something magical about Detroiters that breeds friendliness and challenges those who have their ego ahead of the progress of the city. We’re all in this thing together, and we seem to know that on a very real level.
Starting your own dinner in your own city can be easy. There are a few resources available. First, head to sundaysoup.org and see if there is a dinner already happening within your city. You will also find information on how to start your own Soup program.

I’m compelled to supply a further replace to the posts I’ve offered previously within the article Working Afoul of One Rollover Per 12 months Rule and its follow-up Extra on the One-Rollover-Per-12 months Rule. That is primarily to supply readability to a portion of this rule that I personally was unclear on when the articles have been initially written.
The rule is that you’re restricted to 1 IRA rollover in a 12-month interval. So let’s outline a number of issues for the aim of this dialogue:
Rollover – that is whenever you transfer cash from one IRA to a different, first taking possession of the funds previous to depositing the funds into the brand new (or the identical outdated) IRA account. You’ve 60 days to finish this course of. On the finish of the tax yr you’ll obtain a 1099R from the unique custodian, with a distribution code of 1 or 7 (this way is essential to the rule).
Switch – Often known as a trustee-to-trustee switch or a direct rollover, on this case you don’t take possession of the funds, they’re transferred straight from one IRA to a different. One other potential manner this might happen for those who obtain a examine from the outdated custodian made out to the brand new custodian. Sometimes this form of motion of funds doesn’t generate a 1099R on the finish of the yr, as you’ve not truly made a distribution – no taxable occasion has occurred.
12 months – this actually means a full yr, twelve months in a traditional yr, three hundred and sixty six days in a bissextile year.
Now that we have now our definitions, right here is the rule:
You might be restricted to just one Rollover for ALL IRA accounts that you simply personal, both receiving or distributing throughout a full 12 months from the date of the primary distribution.
Transfers will not be influenced by this rule. You might be allowed to make as many transfers between IRAs as you want, uninhibited by the rule.
An instance is so as: You’ve an IRA at Mutual Fund Firm A, and you are taking a rollover distribution, after which you deposit the cash into your IRA account at Brokerage B. You might be restricted in that you simply can not make some other rollovers into or out of any IRAs that you simply personally personal, apart from inherited IRAs, which you aren’t allowed to make a rollover distribution from anyway (solely transfers are allowed). IRAs owned by your partner are additionally not restricted by actions you’ve made with IRAs that you simply personal.
Roth IRA Conversions and Recharacterizations don’t apply to this rule both – these are different types of distributions, and may be taxable occasions, however will not be topic to this rule’s restriction.
Lastly, the rule doesn’t apply to rollovers into or out of Certified Retirement Plans (QRPs) reminiscent of a 401(ok). You might be free to do as many rollovers into or out of an IRA to/from QRPs with no time restrictions. This may usually offer you an additional benefit if you actually need to maneuver cash once more and a switch isn’t so as.
Hopefully this has helped to totally make clear the rule.

Looking for a brand new work opportunity or career is something that many do right now. However, change is not something that is easy. There are so many things that have to be taken into account when the career change happens. You need to look for brand new options and you need to do a lot of research. Since career changes do not happen overnight, a plan is necessary, just as much as a system like Daymond on Demand reviews.
While we can mention many different things about the brand new carer opportunity and what should be done, here are some tips that will help you make the process a lot smoother than anticipated.
Is The New Career A Need For You?
This is the very first question you need to ask. As you move towards the brand new industry, various challenges are going to appear, like pay cuts, different hours, training or simply taking jobs that start at lower ranks than what you are used to. There will be a lot of work that needs to be put into changing careers. Much thought and careful considerations are needed. When you are not fully committed, there is a really high possibility you are not going to be successful.
Fully Understand Your Skills
Although you might be moving toward a completely new industry, it is mandatory that you assess and review the skills you have. This is especially the case for those that can be transferred. For instance, are you a strong manager or a strong communicator? Are there marketing skills that you have a grasp on? Maybe you know a lot about finances. No matter the case, you need to assess skills so you know those that are really good for the career. These skills can help make the transition a lot easier and you can find job opportunities that allow you to be on the right path.
How Much Effort Is Needed?
After you made the choice of switching careers, it is time to conduct research. There are so many that chase their career dreams and end up evaluating numerous options. This is normal. A career change will never be simple. It is challenging so you need to assess exactly what will be needed in order to make the career change. During the research, see if you have to adjust to a potential pay cut or there are other things you need to worry about. Prepare personal circumstances so you give yourself the best possible chance of success.
Make Things Happen
Your career change will not happen if you do not take the first step, which is actually the most challenging of all the things you will need to do. In most cases, people end up wanting to get back to the first career as they cannot make the transition. Reduce the possibility that this will happen by being as prepared as possible. You need to take things one step at a time since this is what will help you out the most. | <urn:uuid:bc05d51e-05d5-4a93-8ade-7a8b63e22876> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://oddculture.com/what-should-you-do-when-you-need-a-career-change/ | 2024-04-22T21:28:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.972347 | 567 |
Indoor sports centers come in various sizes and can have a wide range of features. The purpose, however, is the same in all. They exist to help maintain fitness and generally improve our well-being. While these purposes are facilitated by treadmills, basketball courts and buff trainers, LED lighting can be there to provide a helping hand.
LED Lighting Helps You to Stay Healthy
Maintaining our health is a complex business. We can spend a lot of money on new gym equipment, expensive nutrient drinks or whatever the current health fad suggests. However, if we don't respect the fundamentals we can end up doing more damage than we think. Light is one of these fundamentals.
Our bodies need light to maintain various processes when it comes to metabolism and brain function. We can become depressed without the vitamin D light provides (which is why it needs supplemented in countries with less light). However, our basic daily rhythms, when combined known as our circadian rhythm, is affected when we don't get enough of it.
Sports centers and gymnasiums may facilitate exercise, but if they do it in an environment where the light is not conducive to physical exercise, the result is being counterprodutive. If it is too low, too weak or of the wrong kind, then it can disturb our equilibrium.
LED lighting can provide bright white light at a programmable output level. Using phosphorous filters, LEDs can provide a full spectrum of light at times of the day when natural light is waning. This helps people in training to push themselves a little further when they need it and provides an environment which is geared towards physical activity.
It is also true that LED lighting can changed to suit different areas of the sports center. For example, softer lighting can be used in changing rooms and cool down areas. Individual bulbs can be used for many purposes. This is not something which can be said for rival technologies such as metal halide bulbs, high pressure sodium lamps and other high intensity discharge lights. LED lighting will turn on immediately, can be used on programmed schedules and can emanate different types of light at different frequencies from the same fixture. HIDs cannot.
LED Lighting Benefits Sports Centers Owners
Gyms and sport centers are large spaces which house various areas within them. You will need different lighting for different areas, all of which can be benefited with LED technology. For example:
- Indoor Sports Courts: whether badminton, 5-a-side soccer or basketball courts, you can't play in low-ceiling spaces. High bay LED lights fill up these large spaces without using vast amounts of energy.
- Administration areas: LED lights use wattage equivalent bulbs, but they use much less electricity compared to metal halides or similar. In office areas, lower wattage equivalent LED bulbs can be used with the same cost effectiveness as their industrial cousins.
- Car parks: parking garages and entrance ways can use low bay bulbs which are able to fill horizontal space in a similar way high bay LED lighting fills the vertical.
- Well-being areas: many gyms and sport centers now have areas which are used for well-being as well as general fitness. Whether these involve spa facilities or steam rooms, LED lighting can be manipulated and used to create the right atmosphere for customers.
While these specific benefits of LED lighting for sports centers are very useful, the important aspects are as follows:
- LED lighting lasts longer meaning you don't have to replace them often.
- They do not suffer lumen depreciation like other bulbs.
- Energy efficiency is improved, especially as they do not waste energy on heat like HIDs.
- Direct replacement and retrofitting abilities allows LED lighting to save on fixtures and installation.
There are many more benefits besides, but the bottom line is that LED lighting is better in both a generalized and specific sense.

The new menu under Themes section includes a colour picker for the accent colour, which means that users will be able to precisely adjust the colour they want on their PC. Hopefully, this will come to Mobile too. The new menu also includes a sidebar on the right side that shows you how you can customise the experience to your own liking. This is a slight aberration from the Settings layout at the moment.
The new Personalization menu looks sleek and nice. More advanced customization settings have been requested since the release of Windows 10, and they might finally be here with the Creators Update. We’ve also reported earlier that the update might bring paid themes via Windows Store.
Windows Insiders should expect these features soon, as the first of the preview builds for the Creators Update are expected this week. | <urn:uuid:c071a2c3-dfd2-44bb-ac36-a756ed69b970> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://onmsft.com/news/windows-10-creators-update-personalization-page-selecting-a-custom-accent-color/ | 2024-04-22T22:38:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.957916 | 166 |
This article was originally published on February 10, 2017. Video: C/- R U OK?
A little while ago I wrote this post about my experiences in asking difficult but important questions in psychiatry. Today’s article in the Sydney Morning Herald which relates the far too common experience of just one junior doctor seeing their colleagues suicide around them raises for me the issue of whether we more senior doctors are sufficiently addressing this problem as part of our duty of supervision of junior trainees?
I have strong personal views about what are the key components of medical supervision. Spoiler alert they include taking an interest in the welfare of the trainee. Not everyone shares these views and the best models of supervision are hotly debated in the health and medical education literature. But this is my post so here is my model.
I believe that medical supervision focuses around 3 core components which both vary in importance according to the circumstances at hand and also can come into conflict. They are: Performance Management, Coaching and Mentoring. So let’s break this down a little bit.
Firstly, the medical supervisor has a responsibility to performance manage the trainee, by this I mean as the doctor in charge you are ultimately responsible, not just for your own direct contributions to patient care but those that work with or for you, including trainees. So you must give good, constructive, prompt feedback, you must correct errors when you see them and you should also provide praise and thanks when you see good work and growth in knowledge and capability. Sometimes you may also need to have some challenging conversations when trainees are consistently underperforming.
Secondly, coaching. A key feature of the medical supervision model going as far back and possibly further than the Hippocratic Oath is of course to impart our knowledge and wisdom and instil the Art of Medicine in others. At times this will mean guiding the trainee in their learning. More often these days (with the amount of medical knowledge constantly updating and changing) it’s about encouraging the trainee to keep at it and checking in on their progress. Sometimes it is also about advocating for the trainee to ensure that the balance between provision of service and time to learn what is required for a lifelong career in whatever discipline we are speaking of is fair.
Finally we have mentoring. Medical careers are experiences. They constantly throw up new things on a daily basis both good and bad. Each day brings a bevy of both old and new patients. The teams we work in change on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. When junior doctors commence they are often even changing work sites every couple of months. This can be very disorientating at times. But the good news is that as one progresses up the hierarchies of medicine to consultant practice the amount of change does tend to settle somewhat at least relatively speaking.
So it is up to us as supervisors to recognise this challenge for our trainees. To be aware that transitions can be times of psychological stress. To provide a safe psychological space so that trainees can reflect on their experience. To discuss the role of good proactive physical and mental health care. To know our trainees well enough so that we are able to tell when things are not going as well.
Medical careers are experiences. They constantly throw up new things on a daily basis both good and bad. Each day brings a bevy of both old and new patients. The teams we work in change on a daily, weekly, monthly basis. When junior doctors commence they are often even changing work sites every couple of months. This can be very disorientating at times.
Now as alluded to earlier these roles are sometime brought into conflict. Such as the situation where a trainee may be having a crisis of confidence in their ability and therefore underperforming. Experience, common sense and my values have taught me that very few people step into a medical career with bad intent. Trainees seldom deliberately underperform. There is generally a reason. So underperformance is one of the warning signs that a trainee may be struggling.
Whatever the sign or indication as a supervisor I will argue that we are in a fiduciary role when our trainee is in difficulty and we are ethically obliged to take action in such circumstances.
However, just as with patients, there are certain sorts of questions which can make ourselves or trainees feel uncomfortable and so we tend to avoid asking them.
And even if you have already established a good trusting relationship with your trainee an initial question, such as “How are things?” is not always going to lead to an opening up. If you have evidence or an inclination that all may not be well you are probably going to have to take it to a deeper level.
In my experience there are a few ways to approach this in a conversation with a trainee. I’m going to propose 3 here:
The first is to humanise. By this I mean establish a personal connection with your trainee by sharing your own experiences as a trainee and reflecting on some of the challenges that you had. Now of course there may be some challenging experiences in training that you may not wish to share with your trainee, I will leave that up to your discretion. My point is to share something personal in order to challenge any idealised notion the trainee has in their mind that you (and your colleagues) are Dr Perfect and “plain-sailed” their way through training. What you are doing here is saying “it’s ok to have problems because I had problems”.
So an example of how this might work is:
“Suresh I just wanted to share with you a bit of a story about my own experience as a trainee. I was at about your stage and I had a difficult time for a few months where I wasn’t really sure if I had made the right career choice and I had a few personal challenges at the same time. I sat on it myself for a bit but then I eventually found it really helpful to talk to a senior colleague about it. So I’d just like to ask you is everything ok for you at the moment?”
The second is to normalise. By this I mean its important to try and establish in the mind of trainees that we are not about perfection in medical training and that it is expected that trainees will struggle in their training. Here it may be helpful to talk in generalities about other trainees you have worked with in the past or reflect on some of the evidence from groups like Beyond Blue that talks about how transitions in medical careers can be particularly difficult points for doctors.
So an example of how this might play out is:
“Jaynie we’ve been working together for a couple of months now and I thought it might be helpful for me to talk to you about my experience with other trainees in your role, in particular some of the common challenges I’ve observed that other trainees end up talking to me about. I’d like to spend a few moments doing this because I want you to know that I have experience in helping trainees with challenges and see it very much a part of my role. So I’d just like to ask you is everything ok for you at the moment?”
The third is to let the trainee know that you or others have noticed. I’d suggest that you leave this one till after you have tried one of the above as it’s a bit more confrontational. What we are trying to do here is highlight to the trainee that we think something might not be going well for them because we and or others have noticed a change at work and we are genuinely concerned.
So an example of how this might occur is:
“Hi Micah, I would like to spend a few minutes with you having a conversation which we might both find a little difficult. But I think its important to have this discussion. Myself and some of the nursing staff have noticed for the past few weeks that you have been struggling to keep up with your ward work and you’ve not been your normal self. This has surprised us all as we all have a genuine high level of respect for you and what you contribute to the team. So I’d just like to ask you is everything ok for you at the moment?”
Hopefully the above 3 examples can be of assistance to any supervisor who might be struggling with an issue where they are concerned about a trainee.
I’d like to finish by suggesting that there is more harm in not asking than asking. Studies in patients have shown that subjects such as suicide are not easy to talk about and people are far more likely to open up and talk if they are given an invitation to talk and that they would prefer to be invited to talk rather than bring up the subject themselves.
So it’s important to ask our trainees if they are OK and it’s actually our responsibility to do so.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that the Medicare fee-for-service (FFS) improper payment rate is at its lowest level since fiscal year (FY) 2010. CMS says its program integrity measures lowered the estimated amount of FFS improper payments by $7 billion from FY 2017-2019 to $28.9 billion.
The estimated improper payment rate decreased to 7.25 percent in FY 2019, from 8.12 percent in FY 2018, the third consecutive year the improper payment rate has been below the 10 percent threshold for compliance established in the Improper Payments Elimination and Recovery Act of 2010.
CMS said this year’s decrease was driven by progress in the following areas:
· Home health claims corrective actions resulted in a significant $5.32 billion decrease in estimated improper payments from FY 2016 to FY 2019.
· Other Medicare Part B services (e.g., physician office visits, ambulance services, lab tests, etc.) saw a $1.82 billion reduction in estimated improper payments in the last year due to clarification and simplification of documentation requirements for billing Medicare under the Patients Over Paperwork initiative.
· Durable medical equipment, prosthetics, orthotics, and supplies improper payments decreased an estimated $1.29 billion from FY 2016 to FY 2019 due to various corrective actions implemented over the years.
“Our progress on improper payments is historic, but there’s more work to be done,” said CMS Administrator Seema Verma. “CMS has taken a multifaceted approach that includes provider enrollment and screening standards to keep bad actors out of the program, enforcement against bad actors, provider education on our rules and requirements, and advanced data analytics to stop improper payments before they happen. These initiatives strike an important balance between preventing improper payments and reducing the administrative burden on legitimate providers and suppliers.” | <urn:uuid:ec44b6d1-3ac0-4f9d-aa4e-e6f545dd54cd> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://opedge.com/medicare-ffs-improper-payment-rate-lowest-since-2010/ | 2024-04-22T21:54:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.940622 | 382 |
Notechidnopsis tessellata, previously known as Echidnopsis framesii, E. serpentine and Caralluma tessellata respectively during successive phases of taxonomical knowledge growth, is a stem succulent reaching heights up to 10 cm.
The stems branch sparingly from a decumbent base, becoming up to 1,3 cm thick. The slightly curved and nearly cylindrical stems are longitudinally channelled and obtusely six-angled. Transverse channelling results in rectangular to slightly hexagonal raised stem areas, each with a tiny rudimentary leaf that is papilla-like.
Flowers grow in fascicles of two to five on hairless pedicels of 5 mm from the longitudinal channels near stem tips. There are tiny, hairless, ovate to lanceolate sepals, 2 mm long with acute tips. The flower diameter is about 9 mm.
The corolla has a five-pointed star-shape; its lobes spread and may recurve slightly at their tapering tips. The red-purple inside corolla surface is hairy, the hairs growing from tiny papillae scattered along the surface. The outer corolla surface is glabrous. The red-purple colouring gives way to pale cream in the centre around the base of the corona.
The outer corona is cup-shaped and yellow, 1 mm high and 2 mm wide. Inside it the inner corona has ascending, linear, yellow lobes on top of the backs of the anthers.
The species distribution is near Vanrhynsdorp, west of the Bokkeveld Mountains and near the Knersvlakte, close to the border between the Western Cape and the Northern Cape. The species is not considered to be threatened in its habitat early in the twenty first century.
Since the move of N. columnaris to Richtersveldia it appears as if the Notechidnopsis genus has become monospecific (White and Sloane, 1937; www.redlist.sanbi.org). | <urn:uuid:43188703-1d02-45d4-bae8-97594fb50245> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://operationwildflower.org.za/index.php/albums/succulents/notechidnopsis-tessellata-judd-1-6367 | 2024-04-22T23:14:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.926879 | 432 |
Every person in this world has their forte, their individual strengths that differs them from other human beings around the globe. So as a management student it is really important to use an individual’s strength in a right way. Louis Efron,the writer of this article talks about something similar. Louis had a privilege of working with a certified R&D rockstar, he named him Tom but i will name him MR X.
MR X had lead teams that had created great revenues and sky rocketed sales for the organization. The company saw so much potential and promise in their Superstar employee that they put him through a top MBA program to extend his potential, resulting in him becoming the president of the organization. But, here is the twist after six months as the president, he failed miserably and resulting in declining sales and revenues and also had issues with the people in the organization. He was relieved from his duties making him unemployed. Fortunately for him and his exceptional work he did at his previous organization, he was hired by a competitor and soon back in work force.
But the question that arise in my mind are: How did this happen ? Was a mistake promoting him ? HOWWWWWWW?
Mr X core strengths was to inspire engineers to produce top selling products and he was really good at it but making decisions by as president was not his strong suit that is the reason he and company failed. The organization put him in a position, which he had no clue about that resulted in him getting fired from his job. Every individual in this planet have an ability to do something, it is really hard fro every individual to max out or do something beyond their ability. This error is repeated time and time again by organizations around the world. Organizations, use these talented individuals and put them at a position, where their ability to perform at the same level decreases.
This was an example of just a normal human being, let me tell you a story about THE GOAT, MICHAEL JORDAN. As a Chicago native, every body knows, whether you are a basketball fan or not, about the greatnessss. After winning three finals MVP’s and three rings, he left professional basketball to play baseball for a minor league baseball in Birmingham, AL . He followed the same work ethic by working hard and practicing every day at the batting cage but he was just average batter and could not achieve the same level as he had while he was playing basketball. So, in 1995 he dropped his bat and went back to United Center. This is a perfect example of no matter how talented or hard working you are, if you are put in a wrong position, you will fail miserably and will never be able to achieve the same greatness.
A 2012 gallup study indicated that only 50% of U.S. workers use their strengths throughout their day. So, if organizations better understand their employees strengths, they can not only maximize the employees potential but also maximize their companies potential.
AS FUTURE MANAGERS OF THE ORGANIZATION, WE SHOULD LEARN FROM THIS. | <urn:uuid:53a2ee5d-0549-4abe-9c7a-78a2f0f8bd9e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://opsmgt.edublogs.org/2013/05/19/if-michael-jordan-cant-do-it-it-cant-be-done/ | 2024-04-22T22:54:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.988857 | 624 |
Boyd Gaming Corporation (BYD) is gaming, resort and casino operator based in Las Vegas. At the time of this post (10:10AM CST) BYD is currently trading up 2.55% on the day to 12.46. The stock is currently trading well within the upper potion of its 52 week range of 8.78-14.58 after finding some buyer support earlier this month around the 11.00 level on the daily chart.
Just moments ago this morning at 10:01AM CST, OptionHacker detected and flagged some hugely bullish unusual options activity as over 9,800 of the Feb ’15 13.0 strike calls traded on the ask-side of the spread for $0.58. This large opening transaction occurred against an open interest of just 42, so we can be confident that this was an opening buy on these calls looking for BYD to continue its upside push into the second month of the coming New Year. At the time of this post, over 13,000 total of the Feb ’15 13.0 calls have traded, mostly on the ask, as buyers position for an anticipated move back up towards the 52 week highs by the February 20th, 2015 monthly options expiration. I did not take entry in this trade, but will be watching to see if this huge bullish bet in BYD pays off.
Trader bought the BYD Feb 13 calls for $0.50
Risk: $50 per 1 lot

Dirty Hans directed his childhood hyperactive tendencies into creating art. However, it was only after viewing Roy Lichtenstein and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec’s work that this cathartic passion became a serious, all consuming career for Dirty Hans. It is clear to see how these pioneering Pop artists are ever present in his work.
Hans battles against concepts of high art by utilising images of popular iconography such as Audrey Hepburn, comic book characters, musicians, fictional film characters, politicians, and even the Royal Family. Tapping into the endless supply of Western visual cultural history Hans turns these tropes on their head to fit his personal narrative and twisted sense of humour.
Dirty Hans creates artwork with acrylics and spray paint on canvas and is now branching out into ‘Digital Art Media’. Hans’ artwork has been heavily influenced by his travelling experience, and his inspiration for his artwork comes from 1950’s culture, movies, comic books, pulp-magazines and studying more traditionalist contemporary artists.
He is going from strength to strength with his creative artistic ability. He has attracted collectors worldwide and within the UK. His work can be found in galleries throughout the UK and is now proving competitive force in the new media art world.

Our Story Began with Discovery
In September 2019, the Department of Inter-Orthodox, Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America convened a pan-Orthodox, national gathering to address the crisis of homelessness. Many of those present discovered that we shared a related interest: The need for an Orthodox Christian volunteer corps. In response, the Assembly of Canonical Orthodox Bishops of the United States of America commissioned a task force to explore such an initiative.
Representatives from CrossRoad Summer Institute, Fellowship of Orthodox Christians United to Serve (FOCUS), the Neighborhood Resilience Project, Orthodox Christian Mission Center (OCMC), Project Mexico, and St. Basil Academy, and the Department of Inter-Orthodox, Ecumenical, and Interfaith Relations of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America began to meet to develop a new organization. In August 2020, Orthodox Volunteer Corps (OVC) was incorporated, a Board of Directors formed in January 2021, and the IRS approved our nonprofit status in April of 2021. In October 2021, OVC became an official agency of the Assembly of Bishops.
Our story began with a discovery. For it to continue, we need you.

The granddaughter of an Orthodox priest, she is committed to the education and ministry of young people for the future of the Church.
Chief Executive OfficerMichael Sider-Rose grew up in Philadelphia, where he had visions of becoming the next Mike Schmidt even though his little-league slugging percentage never reached triple digits. After college, Michael attended the University of Pittsburgh for a Ph.D. in History. Eight years later he emerged from the library with a completed dissertation on religion and politics in post-WWII America. Keen to link the academy and the community, he then took a position with Chicago Semester, a faith-based, off-campus, experiential learning program. Michael worked there from 2000-2006 and enjoyed it so much that he decided to create a similar venture in Pittsburgh as part of The Pittsburgh Project. He was Director of Pittsburgh Semester from 2007 through 2008. In January of 2009, Michael joined the Coro Center for Civic Leadership in Pittsburgh, where he served for nearly 13 years. For the past 10 years Michael has volunteered extensively with the Neighborhood Resilience Project, where he also serves on the board. In his spare time, Michael enjoys moving (hiking, biking), not moving (reading), and sampling food from around the globe (the perfect balance of moving and not moving). He has the great privilege of being married to Randi Maria and father to Ana, Molli, Eliza, and Tobiah.

Every night sit comfortably in a chair and rest your head back, like you do at the dentist. You can use a pillow. Then release your lower jaw. Just relax it so the mouth opens slightly, and start breathing from the mouth, not from the nose. Don’t change your breathing – let it be natural.
The first few breaths will be a little hectic. By and by your breathing will settle down and become very shallow. It will go in and out very slightly. Keep your mouth open, eyes closed, and rest.
Then start feeling that your legs are becoming loose, as if they are being taken away from you, cut loose from the joints. Then start thinking that you are just the upper part of your body; the legs are gone.
Then the hands – think that both the hands are not becoming loose and being taken away from you. You are no more your hands – they are dead, taken away.
Then start thinking about the head – that it is being taken away, that you are being beheaded. Leave it loose: wherever it turns, right, left, you cannot do anything. Just leave it loose; it has been taken away. Then you have just your torso. Feel that you are only this much – this chest, the belly, that’s all.
Do this for at least twenty minutes, just before you go to sleep. And do it for at least three weeks. | <urn:uuid:7eef3119-8b86-44d5-8af8-9624c2614379> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://oshocalifornia.org/unwinding-before-sleep/ | 2024-04-22T22:35:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.977942 | 294 |
It’s been a year since beauty expert Silke Granes (51) took her first skin scans, which showed a reduction in wrinkle depth of 51% after starting The SolutionTM. “I did not believe my own eyes when round two showed a further improvement in my skin,” says Silke.
After Silke received a 51% reduction in wrinkles in her first eight weeks before and after scans, she was thrilled with the results from The SolutionTM and has continued to use it religiously. One year later, she went in for another scan, hoping that her results held and that her skin had at least stayed the same as it was in her last scan, considering she had aged a year.
Since collagen levels are known to decrease sharply with every year starting in your 40s, Silke was shocked to see that The SolutionTM had continued to improve her skin, showing an improvement of 18% from her previous scan.
“My skin feels stronger and looks much better than when I started with The Solution almost a year and a half ago,” says Silke.
GOOD SKIN CARE ROUTINES LEAD TO GOOD SKIN
“The collagen powder from Oslo Skin Lab has become my holy grail, in addition to a clean topical routine which includes a good cleanser and moisturizer with SPF. Otherwise, I enjoy the sun in moderation, eat a varied diet and try to have a healthy balance.
It seems that these routines are the key to me being able to keep a nice skin for many years to come. I'm already looking forward to scanning the skin again next year, and there are probably not that many 50-year-olds who do,” laughs Silke.

Lua does actually support modules that provide objecet oriented classes. Afaik you can't however create new classes directly from lua code.
Lua supports running multiple interpreters simultanously - and it's actually designed to do this. Also there's no use of TLS values. which makes it possible to cache interpreters in a global pool. Pooling interpreters is impossible on many scripting languages such as php and tcl (not sure about python).
Lua is only meant to be used in situatins where performance is critical - such as command replies. In non-performance critical areas you will be able to call tcl or php directly, and through lua. | <urn:uuid:4cc68ed8-329c-4ffd-a44d-8c3eb80ca017> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://oss.azurewebsites.net/forum/10147/p56725-post5.html | 2024-04-22T23:05:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.918501 | 138 |
George Soros’s new investment chief made hedge-fund manager Adam Fisher an offer to join the firm two years ago. He’d get a multimillion-dollar annual bonus or an up-to $1.5 billion investment for a new fund if the job didn’t work out, said people familiar with the matter.
By February, Fisher was gone.
The Soros chief, Dawn Fitzpatrick, had begun cutting how much Fisher could invest when his portfolio was down roughly 2%, frustrating the trader, according to one of the people. Terms of the deal are in dispute and Fisher has threatened to sue, the people said. Fisher declined to comment on his contract or any legal matters.
The soured relationship is one casualty in Fitzpatrick’s short tenure, which so far has been marked by turnover and sweeping change.
The Wall Street Journal spoke to roughly three dozen current and former executives, board members, employees, investment partners and trading counterparties involved with Soros Fund Management about the changes implemented by Fitzpatrick, who became one of the most prominent women on Wall Street with her hiring atop the $25 billion fund in 2017. The former UBS executive has fired traders, taken money from two dozen external hedge funds and made other moves to reshape the firm into one she believes can produce durable returns.

Do you like action? How about laughs? Animals? And do you like... to sing?
The brand new film Sing (which opens today!) has all of these things and more. We think it's the perfect family film for the holidays. Why's that? We're glad you asked!
So many animals!
Watching people do stuff—driving cars, dancing, singing songs—is just fine. But watching animals do those same things is so much better. And Sing is like a zoo taking over a town.
There's gorillas, alligators, bunnies, foxes, bears, mice, sheep, squid... the variety is endless. (Not to mention a hilarious family of 25 adorable piglets!) Leading this cast of fuzzy, furry, slimy, scaly characters is Buster Moon (Matthew McConaughey), a charming koala who is in need of a miracle. Even though Buster is living his boyhood dream of running his own theatre, the truth is that the Moon Theatre is running out of money. So he tells his best friend, a sheep named Eddie Noodleman (John C. Reilly), that he's going to hold a singing contest to save his business. Eddie is skeptical, but Buster just knows that it's going to work! Which brings us to...
So many songs!
There are over 85 different songs featured in Sing. Yep. More than 85. So you can bet that you're going to hear at least a few that you know and love. The scene where animal after animal auditions for Buster and his lizard assistant, Ms. Crawley (Garth Jennings), is one of the funniest in the whole movie. And that's just the primer for the big, show-stopping finale where this loveable batch of misfits and hidden talents bring the whole town to their feet. Speaking of those talented misfits...
So many great characters!
Sing does a great job at giving everyone in its audience at least one character that it can relate to. Are you shy? You'll love big-voiced Meena (Tori Kelly), an elephant who finds it embarrassing to sing to anyone outside her family at home. Are you sensitive, but look tough? Your buddy is Johnny (Taron Egerton), a gorilla whose love of silky, soulful ballads doesn't exactly match the wishes of his powerhouse father. Are your talents constantly getting overlooked while others hog the spotlight? Meet Ash (Scarlett Johansson), a punk rock porcupine who is tired of playing second fiddle to her bandleader boyfriend, Lance.
And we're just getting started here. Lots of families love to go to the movies over the holidays. If you're one of them, we know that you'll love Sing. Give the trailer a look below and warm up your voices... it's show time! | <urn:uuid:ee30c3f2-e45d-4fca-916a-b6de20976590> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://owlconnected.com/archives/movie-review-sing | 2024-04-22T23:40:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.967364 | 584 |

This course provides students with opportunities to develop and practice the skills and habits that are foundational to academic writing and with knowledge of how to adapt these skills and habits for the varied writing demands students will encounter in college. This course fulfills (when passed with a grade of "C" or better) the college's First Stage Writing Proficiency Requirement (and in some cases, the Second Stage Writing Proficiency Requirement), and it is also appropriate for students in various disciplines seeking to develop their writing, argument, analytic, and communication skills. All sections of this course focus on developing complex writing, analytical, and research skills for various audiences, disciplines, and genres. May be repeated to fulfill both the First- and Second-Stage Writing Requirements.
Art House Cinema
In this course, we will explore a selection of “art house” films and consider the important technical and imaginative differences between them and those made within the traditional Hollywood studio system. Selections range from low-budget, DIY independents to international masterpieces. Film analysis will be complemented by a variety of readings from some of the sharpest and most insightful critics of not only cinema but also painting, theater, music, and other fine arts.
The Body Politic: Writing in the Politics of Pleasure
This course will examine the politics of sexuality in the U.S. It aims to consider intersectional identities and cultures drawing on social considerations with respect to race, gender, and sexuality. The regulation of sexuality by the state, and the commodifying of sex will be studied as well as power and the body. Readings from Audre Lorde, Michael Foucault, and others will be explored.
Writing About Independent Film
This section will explore independent film as an important art movement and alternative to the commercial mainstream. We will focus on a small number of personal, low-budget films made outside the studio system and consider the important ways they break from Hollywood, both stylistically and imaginatively.
Rhetoric and the Fine Arts
This course is designed to provide intensive, guided training in college-level writing through the study of the fine arts—including but not limited to painting, music, film, and poetry—with an emphasis on recent work, exhibitions, and scholarship. Students will enter the current cultural conversation by writing their own critical essays, employing a variety of rhetorical techniques. Our focus will ultimately be on all the core elements of successful academic writing, including thesis statements, the use of evidence, source integration, developing and expanding ideas, and matters of form, clarity, and style.
Writing in Class, Whiteness, and Conflict
The readings and assignments in this course are designed to help students understand the social constructions of class hierarchies and the emerging theories about white identity politics, whiteness, and how race informs class analysis. We will engage in critical analysis and written argument to explore white identity, white supremacy, and the intersections of race, class and geography.
Writing, Rhetoric, and Formal Poetry
This section will focus on the relationship between poetry and rhetoric--more specifically, how form shapes understanding and is used to construct different types of rhetorical argument. We will study a variety of texts including poems, critical essays, biography, and literary and rhetorical theory.
Writing, Gender, and Sexuality
This section will explore gender and sexuality in our contemporary American context. Drawing on readings from pop culture, critical theory, current events, and literature, we will examine how gender and sexuality are constructed, theorized, and represented, and how they intersect with other areas of identity including race and class.
Wanderlust Writing and Rhetoric
This section will explore the writing and rhetoric of wandering and adventure, from premodern adventure stories to the present-day #wanderlust as a synonym for free-spiritedness and Instagram humblebrags; our texts will be drawn primarily from literature, pop culture, and critical theory.
Protest Writing and Rhetoric
This section will examine the rhetoric, ideology, and context of protest genres, including social movements, speeches, literature, and visual texts, as we consider how writers, artists, and activists protest issues relating to race- and class-based oppression, gender inequity, ableism, colonialism, homophobia and heterosexism, and other concerns.
Writing on Travel
This section will examine travelers' tales ranging from pilgrimages, the Grand Tour, island vacations, luxury cruises, and scientific expeditions, analyzing them from anthropological and post-modern critical perspectives, all while exploring images and texts from the 1700's to the present. | <urn:uuid:076e3c27-a526-498f-80b2-2a061df9c771> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://oxy.smartcatalogiq.com/en/2023-2024/catalog/course-descriptions/wrd-writing-rhetoric/200/wrd-201/ | 2024-04-22T22:29:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.93272 | 937 |
Photo booth vs photo mirror – what machine is better to start a business with?
The decision to start a photo booth business is behind you? Pros and cons considered, marketing strategy done? Have you already made the decision on the source of financing? If so, it’s time to choose your photo booth machine! The question is: photo booth or photo mirror? The choice is not easy, and there is plenty to choose from – there is a wide range of photo booths and modern selfie mirrors on the market. The photo mirror is of course a variation of the photo booth – you can say – its an improved version of it. Both devices are designed to do the same thing – taking photos that are printed immediately after taking a photo session. Selfie mirror and photo booths have a lot of similarities, but differ in some important details. Today we will tell you about them. We will also suggest which photo machine will be a better choice for you to start your business.
Photo booth and photo mirror – similarities
Both, photo booth and photo mirror have common features. They include:
- possibility of making personalized layouts, ie the layout of the printed photos by adding an individual signature, logo or text on the photos
- taking photo sessions consisting of any number of shots – most often there are 3 or 4 shots
- quick printing of photos and thus a perfect souvenir of the event
- great fun at the party
- availability of fun gadgets that allow you to create interesting and varied photo sessions
Both, photo booth and photo mirror operate on the basis of similar equipment. A dye-sublimation printer, a camera, a flash and, of course, a control unit in the form of a computer are the basic pieces of equipment in each model of a photographic machine.
Market trends and the choice of a photo booth model
There is probably literally no one who would not know what it is and what a photo booth is for. It is an attraction which is very often present at events such as a weddings, proms or corporate events. A photo mirror, also known as a selfie mirror or a magic mirror, is a newer edition of this photo attraction. Traditional photo booths are on the market a few years longer than photo mirrors. Selfie mirrors, on the other hand, began to gain popularity little later and to this day they storm weddings and event halls. This does not mean, of course, that photo booths are a thing of the past! A photo booth, both traditional in the form of a retro style booth or modern – with RGB LED backlight, is still a very popular attraction and it cannot be said that it has been replaced by the photo mirrors available on the market.
Of course, trends like trends – they like to change, and the flexibility and adaptation of your offer to the needs of the market is an important competitive factor. However, this is not the only factor, so when choosing your first photo machine, you should not base only on trends.
Basic differences between a photo booth and a photo mirror
As we have already mentioned, photo machines such as photo booths and photo mirrors differ in some respects. They mainly include:
Different casing design
The photo mirror most often has the form of a box – case with a large mirror mounted at the front in a surroundings of a decorative frame. Photo booths, on the other hand, have various designs – most often it is a two-module “post” in white or black, there are also smaller models whose modules constitute a housing and a stand. The shape of the casing is also related to its weight – photo mirrors are usually much heavier than photo booths, and thus require more effort during transport. You also need a larger car to transport the photo mirror and its accessories, so you should consider this when choosing.
A different aesthetic setting for the event
Behind the different design of the housing is the difference in the aesthetic setting of the event. With the help of a photo mirror, a “Hollywood atmosphere” is often created at weddings or corporate events. An elegant mirror in a decorative frame in a set with decorative posts, a red carpet, sometimes a gold or silver wall – the background – makes an electrifying effect! The photo booth itself usually looks less impressive, and the most common addition to it is the background – in the form of a printed background, sparkling stripes or an inflatable wall.
Different interfaces – photo booth interface vs. animation for a photo mirror
Photomirror animations are short films that are displayed before and after the session, as well as between individual shots. Their task is to encourage guests to play, inspire them to create even more interesting shots – the level of interaction with the user is much higher and better quality than in the case of a photo booth. Professional, moving characters, matching voice-over voices, funny texts – it all takes the fun with the photo mirror to the next level.
Up to a point, the limitation in the case of photolusters was the need to use a green background to be able to take pictures on any graphic background. Often this idea had to be abandoned because the green background does not match the elegant photo mirror. Currently, the software capabilities allow you to take photos with changing the background without the need to use any physical background. This gives new possibilities and further extends the functionality of the selfie mirror. Check out our recent post on this topic.
What brings more profits – photo booth or photo mirror?
The photo booth business, as we wrote in another article, is a profitable business, assuming you have an appropriate marketing strategy. On average, the price of renting a photo mirror is higher than the price of renting a photo booth by PLN 200-300 per package. The answer seems simple – the investment in a photo mirror will pay off faster than in a photo booth. Of course, we are not talking about equalizing the prices for renting photo booths and photo mirrors – because such situations also happen on the market. Potentially higher profits is one of the factors that can be taken into account, but you have to remember that a photo mirror is a bigger investment at the start, and the costs of the add-ons mentioned above additionally raise the price. In addition, having a photo mirror on offer may increase the interest of customers – many people want to have the most interesting and the latest attractions at their events. The return on investment may therefore be faster, but it does not have to be either – we are of the opinion that the most often the payback period is similar for traditional photo booths and photo mirrors.
What do event clients prefer – photo booths or photo mirrors?
This question is (on purpose) incorrectly posed. There is no single answer to them. Both photo booths and photo mirrors find their buyers all the time. Often, the Hollywood atmosphere is not something the client likes, and the limited space in the wedding hall makes the photo booth the best option. There are clients for whom the number of photos taken during the wedding is a priority – the more the better, there are those for whom it is more important to have the latest attractions. Interesting models of photo booths – check out ours from the retro range – often match photo mirrors in terms of design. They also perfectly improve the aesthetic setting of weddings, communions and birthdays. There are people for whom the price is important, and because the photo mirror is more expensive, they rent a photo booth. As you can see, it is impossible to say what the customers prefer – both types of devices will undoubtedly find their buyers.
Photo booth or photo mirror – what to choose?
When choosing the type and model of the machine, a lot depends on priorities, transport possibilities and the result of local market research. Because it is on the local market that you will primarily act. A large number of traditional photo booths in the environment can turn the scales in favor of a photo mirror. On the other hand, having a small car for transport makes it more sensible to choose a photo booth. The photo mirror, despite having wheels to facilitate transport, is heavier and the operation of the event on its own will be difficult for this reason. Currently, customers choose both photo booths and photo mirrors – we know from the opinions of our customers that the appearance of photo mirrors for some time meant that they rented photo booths less. For some time, however, these differences have started to blur, and now both types of slot machines are equally popular. The decision is worth considering – because the first slot machine can either encourage or discourage you from running and continuing this business. And that this is a quite enjoyable business, we already mentioned, right? | <urn:uuid:98f4f57d-5237-40b8-a2eb-def6f8196cd5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://p4fphotobooths.com/photo-booth-vs-photo-mirror-what-machine-choose-for-a-start/ | 2024-04-22T22:18:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.962618 | 1,759 |
American Muslims face denial of due process, pressure to become informants
(WASHINGTON, D.C., 7/9/10) — CAIR today issued an advisory to American Muslims — whether citizens, permanent residents or visa holders — warning of the risk of “forced exile” when traveling overseas or attempting to return to the United States. Muslim travelers are urged to know their legal rights if they are placed on the so-called “no-fly list.”
In the past few months, CAIR has received a number of reports of American Muslims stranded overseas when they are placed on the government’s no-fly list. Those barred from returning to the United States report being denied proper legal representation, being subjected to FBI pressure tactics to give up the constitutionally-guaranteed right to remain silent, having their passports confiscated without due process, and being pressured to become informants for the FBI. These individuals have not been told why they were placed on the no-fly list or how to remove their names from the list.
SEE: Cases of American Muslims Barred from U.S. (CAIR)
American Man in Limbo on No-Fly List (NY Times)
U.S. Muslims Facing Problems in Return from Abroad (Wash. Post)
FBI agents have reportedly told a number of individuals that they face being stranded outside the United States longer, or forever, unless they give up their rights to legal representation or to refuse interrogations and polygraph tests. But even those who submitted to interrogations without an attorney or to the “lie detector” tests remain stranded.
CAIR cooperated with the ACLU on its recently-filed lawsuit challenging the lack of due process in placing travelers on the no-fly list.
“We ask President Obama to review this disturbing new policy that denies American Muslims their constitutional rights and due process of law,” said CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad.
He said American Muslims strongly support law enforcement and the protection of our national security. And as Americans, we also value the civil rights of every individual. All Americans have the constitutional right to due process and to re-enter their own country.
If you know of any criminal activity, it is both your religious and civic duty to immediately report such activity to local and federal law enforcement agencies.
Know Your Rights if Placed on the No-Fly List:
[IMPORTANT NOTE: Before traveling overseas, obtain the cell phone number of an attorney who would be available for consultation if you are barred from returning to the United States. Finding an attorney once you have been stopped or detained is much more difficult. Provide the attorney’s contact information to those scheduled to pick you up at the airport.]
1) Understand that agreeing to an interview with FBI agents is strictly voluntary. You are not obligated under law to answer any questions from law enforcement officers. You must however provide them with a passport or other official identification.
2) You may choose to have an attorney accompany or represent you for any interview or questioning. CAIR strongly recommends that you consult with an attorney before being interviewed by law enforcement agents. CAIR may provide legal assistance or can refer you to an attorney.
3) Stay calm. Do not get into an argument with law enforcement officers.
4) Note that anything you say to an agent or officer can be used against you in a court of law, and that lying to an agent or officer is a criminal offense. Also note that an FBI agent is permitted to lie to you in the course of an interrogation.
5) Should you decide to speak to agents without an attorney despite the risks, note that you may set the conditions of the interview, including choosing when and where the interview is to take place, whether a third party such as a family member is present, which questions to answer, and refusing to sign any documents. You may cancel the interview at any time. Take detailed notes during any interview.
6) Be sure to get the names, agencies, badge numbers and business cards of ALL agents or officers. Similarly, make a note of the name, agency, contact information, and supervisor of any other government employees, including embassy staff.
7) Contact your attorney and CAIR to report the incident and to discuss your next legal steps. If you believe that your civil rights have been or are being violated, you may file a complaint with the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division and with the Department of State. CAIR can help you with this process.
8) To file a civil rights complaint with CAIR-PA, please visit: https://pa.cair.com/report/
9) If you have Internet access, file a complaint with DHS TRIP (Traveler Redress Inquiry Program) by going to: www.dhs.gov/trip
10) Have your spouse or other family members contact your elected representatives to seek assistance.

BY JACOB BENDER, CAIR-PHILADELPHIA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
I spent Monday glued to the BBC, Reuters, Aljazeera, and Haaretz broadcasts from Gaza. By Tuesday morning we knew that 58 Palestinian demonstrators had been killed by Israeli troops, while a staggering 2,700 had been wounded, including one infant who died from tear gas inhalation. Many had wounds to their heads leaving them paralyzed for the remainder of their days.
The demonstration was the culmination of a six-week Palestinian campaign to protest Trump’s unilateral and precipitous relocation of the US Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. It also marked the 70th Anniversary of the Nakba, the expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Arabs from their homes by Israel during the 1948-49 Arab-Israeli war.
As many of you know, CAIR is a charitable organization focusing largely on the domestic issues facing American Muslims: employment discrimination, school bullying, immigration problems, government harassment, as well as responding to widespread distortions of Islam by media personalities and politicians. We estimate that only 5% of our time is devoted to foreign affairs, including Palestine and the greater Middle East. Our reasoning is that there are other organizations whose focus is to advance the Palestinian struggle for independence, and we do not want to be duplicating their efforts. (I have provided a list of Palestine solidarity organizations at the end of this article.)
There are times, however, when the magnitude of unfolding events demands our attention, when we feel compelled to speak out, indeed, to scream at the wanton carnage we are witnessing on the screens before us. Most of the world recoils in horror. Here in the US, however, Israel’s massacre is met with either silence, or worse, open support for Israel in driving back what they deem to be barbaric Arab hordes bent upon visiting another Holocaust upon the innocent Jews and their “Jewish State.” Shockingly, many Israelis and their supporters in the US are almost euphoric at the number of Arab dead.
It will be 50 years ago this summer that that I made my first trip to Israel as a naïve Jewish student, soaking in the sun, the sights, and the mythology about “a people without a land for a land without people.” How the Jews had made the desert bloom, and how 200 million Jew-hating Arabs were bent upon “driving the Jews into the sea.” But due to my parents’ support of the Civil Rights Movement, and my own student activism against the American War in Vietnam, I was a poor recruit to the Zionist cause. Indeed, the more time I spent in Israel, the more it appeared to me to resemble 1964 Mississippi, and the more critical I became of the policies of “Jewish State” towards the Palestinians: the legalized confiscation of acres of Palestinian land inside Israel to insure “a Jewish majority”; the military government that ruled over Palestinian citizens of Israel until 1966, thus insuring their status as second-class citizens in their own land; the ever-mushrooming Israeli settlements (for Jews only) across the Arab territories conquered by Israel in June of 1967; the Judaization of Jerusalem.
But it was my discovery of the Nakba — the forced expulsion of 700,000 Palestinians from their homes and homeland, and the destruction of over 400 Arab villages in 1948 and ’49 by the armed forces of the nascent state of Israel — that not only broke my heart, but severed my last remaining connection to the mainstream of the American Jewish community.
Back in the 1970s and ’80s, a small group of American Jews, myself included, argued for the so-called “Two-State Solution” and an end to Jewish settlements in the Occupied Territories. We were called “traitors” and “self-hating Jews” and some who worked for Jewish organizations lost their jobs because they spoke out against Israeli human rights abuse.
Decades later, new groups of young Jewish activists in groups like “Jewish Voice for Peace” and “IfNotNow” have arisen across the country to challenge the pro-Zionist Jewish mainstream by openly supporting Palestinian liberation, not because they are also “self-hating Jews,” but because they are Jews who understand that their tradition obligates them to oppose injustice, especially when that injustice is being perpetrated by those within your own community, an obligation found as well in The Qur’an: “You who believe! be upholders of justice, bearing witness for Allah alone, even against yourselves or your parents and relatives.” (Surat an-Nisa’, 135)
And so there we were, Muslims, Jews, and Christians, believers and non-believers, CAIR among them, marching through Center City Philadelphia on Monday night, united in our condemnation of the Israeli massacre that very morning, united in our opposition to the Trump regime’s relocation of the US Embassy to Jerusalem, unified in our commitment to struggle together against all forms of racism and bigotry, both at home and abroad.
The dead are being buried in Gaza today, but their dream of freedom lives on.

When the pandemic arrived in March 2020 we had to quickly adapt to the changing trade conditions. When pubs were forced to close we knew we had to streamline the process of online ordering and logistics of running a home delivery service. The role of Palmers Wine Store was clearly going to play an important part in supplying customers with their favourite Palmers products. In addition, we took the necessary measures to make the store itself a safe place for customers to visit and make physical purchases.
Ecommerce website review
A content and layout review took place on the Palmers Wine Store website to make sure the platform was optimised for online orders. Product images were enhanced and homepage visuals were reworked to enable Palmers’ products to be better signposted and highlighted.
In order to make Palmers Wine Store a covid-secure place for customers to shop we introduced hand sanitising stations, one way system and floor markers to enforce social distancing.
4 pint carry outs
We have an in-store pop up bar installed in our Wine Store. This meant that with the release of our 4 pint carry out ‘growlers’ our shop attendant was able to supply takeaway vessels of fine Palmers ale straight from the cask.
Local home delivery service
We offered a FREE local home delivery service for orders over £50 in the DT6, DT7 & DT8 postcodes. Courier deliveries are also available regardless of distance.
We needed to be flexible to open and close as lockdowns dictated shop opening guidelines. When the shop couldn’t open we had revert back to online orders only. During the second national lockdown we extended our local delivery to DT1, DT2, DT3, DT4, DT5, DT6, DT7 and DT8.
Donations to hospitals
Palmers Wine Store delivered 480 bottles of our lovely Palmers Ginger Beer and Original Lemonade to some of the frontline team at the Dorset County Hospital in Dorchester.
Palmers pledged £1000 to support Bridport Community Hospital to help the effort of our amazing NHS team locally. In addition to this, we donated a further £1 for every bottle of HIX Blonde, Oyster Ale or HIX IPA ordered in West Dorset through Palmers Wine Store to help everything that the dedicated team at our local hospital have done and continue to do for us. This extra pledge brought the total to £1612.
Record year for online orders
Despite the obvious disruption to the brewing and pub industry the pandemic has caused, we had by far, our best year for website orders. We saw a 99% increase in website sessions for the year 2020 compared to 2019. Website orders peaked in April 2020 with 631 online orders. This represented a 10 x increase on the same month in 2019. The top seller from the Palmers Wine Store website over the last 12 months was Dorset Gold, with Palmers 200 a close second.
Lightening the mood in lockdown
We used our social media channels to keep spirits up over the last 12 months. We featured special offers on products from Palmers Wine Store. We also ran competitions and giveaways – who doesn’t like free beer! We hosted virtual wine/beer tasting sessions and created a cheerful video at Christmas time. | <urn:uuid:bbff52c4-e425-499a-8331-edaa4f4e681c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://palmersbrewery.com/palmers-wine-store-adaptations/ | 2024-04-22T23:20:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.949116 | 667 |
If you’ve been around Pam and I long enough, then you’ve probably heard us caution people again “u-hauling.” We’ve dropped that gem in videos and right here in your email box.
Even baby-lesbians know what U-hauling is, and I’m sure you do too. But just to make sure you’re with me, I’ll briefly explain.
U-hauling refers to the tendency of lesbians to attach very quickly, which leads them to move their relationships along at a faster pace than they probably should, usually moving in together.
You know that old joke:
“What does a lesbian bring on a second date?”
Yes, this is enough of an issue in the lesbian community that there is a tried and true joke about it.
Except it’s no joke.
This approach to relationships has contributed to an abnormally high rate of divorce in the lesbian community. In fact, our divorce rate is higher than any other couple combination, including heterosexual couples AND gay male couples.
So let’s talk a bit about why U-hauling is such a bad idea. We say that it is all of the time. But why?
Any reasons I can give you all boils down to one critical element: Time. Relationships need time to develop and become their best selves.
Here are three 3 reasons why moving too fast in a relationship is bad for a relationship.
Reason #1: The honeymoon phase.
I call the front end of any relationship the honeymoon phase. Everyone is on their best behavior. Romance is still strong and consistent.
She brings flowers. She sends cute little messages. She’s patient and kind. And funny. You fall in love.
The problem with this is that some of these things are difficult to sustain.
Life gets in the way.
Work commitments increase.
Family responsibilities sometimes take over.
You fall to her back seat more often than you did before. Suddenly the relationship is not what you thought it was.
Suddenly, SHE’S not what you thought she was.
When you hop into a relationship, you don’t give your relationship time to weather these storms. You don’t give yourself time to find out how you (or her!) will withstand them.
And the lesser the amount of time you spend before renting that u-haul, the least likely you are to have given your relationship the time to encounter and deal with the things that life will throw at you.
And you need that time because even the best relationships aren’t always flowers and cute chocolates.
Reason #2: Relationships can only stand so much at one time.
When Pam and I first met, we were living halfway across the country from each other. When we decided to move closer, I didn’t move in with her. I just moved closer.
Our relationship had been founded on long distance. That’s the way we knew our relationship to operate.
We only saw each other for a certain amount of time. Moving closer to each other was already introducing a new stressor to our relationship.
Suddenly, we had ready access to each other and with that access came additional expectations. Adjusting to that was enough. We didn’t need the extra stressor of learning to live together under one roof. We let our relationship adjust to the one big change before introducing another.
New relationships are vulnerable. You haven’t weathered enough storms with each other yet for them to sustain a lot of challenges.
So putting more on your new relationship than it’s ready to handle is just a formula for disaster. Take smaller steps as you move towards your forever love. Even the strongest relationships can crumble when too much is asked of them.
Reason #3: There is more to a relationship than just love and feelings.
I know, I know. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. But it’s true.
Relationships ain’t all love and kisses. There are day-to-day things that make a relationship work.
You can love anyone. You can’t live with just anyone though.
When you move too quickly, you aren’t making an informed decision about all of the intangibles (and the tangibles) that can make or break a relationship.
Is she a homebody or a social butterfly?
How do you feel about either?
You might think on the surface that you know, but you never know for sure until time has passed while attempting a relationship with her.
Is she neat and tidy or a mess?
How are her spending habits?
How is she when she’s angry?
What’s her family like? Like, what are they REALLY like, once the newness has worn off your relationship? And what does this mean for you?
Time, time, time. Relationships need time. Some age well. Some don’t.
But when you rush into something without all of the information you need, you don’t give yourself much of a fighting chance.
Yes, I’m sure you know a couple that uhauled it and they are still together. We do too.
It’s not smart though. The divorce numbers are what they are for a reason. Don’t risk your potential forever love. It deserves better than that.
If it’s the right relationship, it will continue to be the right relationship for you. But the only way to know this is to be willing step back and to let your relationship blossom in front of you. | <urn:uuid:403054b0-ed64-486a-9e05-a3a827b7a0b4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pamandkelly.com/lesbian-dating-advice-3-reasons-why-moving-too-fast-in-a-relationship-is-bad/ | 2024-04-22T22:01:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.963956 | 1,191 |

Thank you all for the opportunity to address you today, and thank you Stephen [Rae] for inviting me and for organising this excellent event bringing together so many global experts on tackling financial crime.
I would like to give a particular welcome to Dr. Marcus Pleyer, Deputy Director General of the German Federal Ministry of Finance and former President of the Financial Action Task Force. I am glad you get to experience Dublin with the wonderful sunny weather we are having!
It is important to have opportunities such as this, to engage with other experts, industry participants, supervisors, law enforcement, and regulators, so that experience and learnings can be shared and best practices developed.
My six years as Ireland’s Finance Minister have given me good insight into, and respect for, the great work done by the Financial Action Task Force.
But I am addressing you today with a different ‘hat’ on, that of President of the Eurogroup. I was re-elected in January this year for a second term in this role, where I drive the agenda of the monthly meeting of euro area finance ministers to coordinate our economic and fiscal policies, and discuss matters of shared responsibility, including our common currency, the euro.
So I will share with you what issues are on the minds of European finance ministers right now.
But first let me say a few words on the economic outlook. The euro area economy continues to show resilience in a challenging global context. Lower energy prices, abating supply constraints and a strong labour market supported moderate growth in the first quarter of 2023.
According to Eurostat’s preliminary flash estimate, GDP grew by 0.1% in the euro area in the first quarter of 2023. Leading indicators suggest continued growth in the second quarter. This better-than-expected start to the year resulted in the Commission’s Spring 2023 Economic Forecast revising upwards the GDP outlook for the euro area economy to 1.1% in 2023 and 1.6% in 2024.
Likewise, a record-strong labour market is bolstering the resilience of the euro area economy. Euro area unemployment remains low, forecast at 6.8% in 2023 and 6.7% in 2024.
Inflation has proved stickier than expected, and has been revised upwards compared to the winter forecast, but nonetheless is forecast to decline gradually over the remainder of 2023 and in 2024. Euro area inflation is now forecast to be 5.8% in 2023 and 2.8% in 2024, respectively 0.2% and 0.3% higher than in winter.
Turning to public finances, the euro area aggregate debt-to-GDP ratio is projected to decline steadily to below 90% in 2024, although this is still above the pre-pandemic levels, and there are large divergences of fiscal trajectories across Member States. Euro area aggregate deficits are expected to be above target in 2023 at -3.2%, and falling below target in 2024, at -2.4%, thanks in large part to the phasing out of energy support measures.
While I am naturally an optimist, I think the figures speak for themselves in terms of the resilience of the euro area economy. We are in a good place to respond to the challenges we face, despite the global uncertainty.
Having set out that context, I would like to speak about three policy areas that I am prioritising in the Eurogroup, and how they might influence your work. They are:
• Progress on Banking Union;
• the Digital Euro project; and,
• How do we fund a greener, digital, more competitive future for Europe, and what the role of the private sector is in that.
So turning first to Banking Union, which many of you in this room will be familiar with given the industries you work in.
Events over the last few months in both the US and Europe have reaffirmed to all of us, if we needed affirmation, the need for us to complete the Banking Union. Doing so is crucial for European stability and the competitiveness.
It is fair to say that advancing Banking Union has been one of my priorities since taking up the office of President of Eurogroup back in July 2020.
Last summer at Eurogroup, after much time, effort and political energy exerted, Ministers reached an agreement on the future of the Banking Union with a clear statement.
Specifically, we asked for steps to be taken to strengthen the common framework for bank crisis management and national deposit insurance schemes – or CMDI in short.
In April, the European Commission came forward with legislative proposals in this area, which encompassed all of the areas that Eurogroup emphasised in our statement last June.
Just a few weeks ago, at the Eurogroup informal meeting in Stockholm in April, we had a frank and good discussion on the banking sector, discussing recent developments and the broad outlines of the CMDI proposal itself.
As things stand, there are areas where Ministers are agreed but also, as one would expect, areas where we are not yet aligned.
However, I remain confident that we will converge in the months ahead.
I intend to keep the momentum behind this project. It will be difficult, but by no means impossible.
The second priority project for me is the digital euro. The Eurogroup has been actively engaged in discussions on this topic before the ECB made its decision to launch the investigative phase of the digital euro project.
The reason being the declining use of cash and trends towards digitalisation in the payments and financial systems, which have only continued to accelerate.
We have had constructive engagement with both the ECB and the Commission on this issue.
We welcome the Commission’s intention to propose legislation on the digital euro [expected in June] and we will continue our political engagement going forward.
Finance ministers are well attuned to the fact that so many of the decisions on the digital euro are inherently political as they will influence the daily lives of our citizens.
Some of the choices we are grappling with will be so familiar to you all, as they relate to how we ensure that a digital euro is not only convenient and widely adopted, but also functions properly in terms of anti-money laundering requirements and prevents it being used to fund illegal activities.
All this underscores the importance of close and constructive engagement by industry leaders such as yourselves with the ECB and the Commission, and with national governments, as the design of the digital euro crystallises.
Funding the Future / Private Capital
Finally, the role of private capital in funding a greener, digital, more competitive future for Europe.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that investment needs have been flagged at nearly every Eurogroup meeting.
We are all acutely aware that Europe has extensive financing requirements, which have been amplified by both a lack of investment in the previous decade and also the need to fully embrace digitalisation and respond to climate change.
Investment needs will be very large over the next decade, but they cannot come from public sources alone: we need to leverage private sources in parallel.
This will be crucial to bolster euro area competitiveness.
At the Euro Summit in March, European leaders called on us all to step up efforts and to take forward Capital Markets Union.
In order to do so, we need to understand what are the barriers to private sector investment in our economies, and then how to go about removing them.
This is clearly a vast project but just to reemphasise that economic and monetary union is totally dependent on a vibrant and well integrated capital market.
From my perspective, I think this is a good time to take stock of where we are, in terms of funding, innovation and competitiveness.
Again, this is where politicians need to hear from you. The Eurogroup will be inviting market participants to share their experiences and insights with us, later in the year.
From this, we can get a better picture of where we stand on CMU and what we all need to do to fully unlock our capital markets.
This is no small task and it is never easy.
But if it was easy, it wouldn’t be worthwhile!
I will conclude here and I look forward to your questions which I will do my best to answer. | <urn:uuid:d9daaa48-b7b5-4f5a-935e-f21e7343afc8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://paschaldonohoe.ie/speech-to-the-aml-intelligence-eu-summer-summit/ | 2024-04-22T22:45:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.957042 | 1,692 |

Thanks for visiting our Nucanoe Frontier 12 Fishing Kayak Review. As you know, you can’t always catch fish from the shore which is why you need the right fishing kayak to take you to where the action is!
But then there is the struggle of choosing the RIGHT kayak.
Not all fishing kayaks are made equally. There are endless variations including the length of the kayak, seats that swivel, number of fishing rod holders and more.
Why Listen To Me?
My name is Christina Bishop. Growing up, I spent most summer days fishing on the lake with my father. I’ve been holding a fishing rod since before I could even walk!
For this review, we’ll take an in-depth look at the Nucanoe Frontier 12 and weigh in on its features.
Does it offer the stability, storage capacity and maneuverability it claims, or does this fishing kayak fall short?
Read on to find out!
Nucanoe Frontier 12 Features:
- Swivel Seat – This is the only kayak we know of that has a 360-degree seat that will spin in every direction. This is very helpful when you are casting or operating an outboard motor
- Gear vault hatch – The bow has a gear vault hatch with a hatch sack to provide storage for food, drinks and other items you will need during your fishing trips.
- Wide-open deck – The Frontier 12 has a wide-open deck without a middle console. It is ideal for fishing as it allows you to cast a long line without hitting any obstructions. The open deck gives you plenty of room to stand in case you need to move around when trying to land your catch.
- Junior Seat – Because the kayak has a wide-open deck, there is room for a junior seat so two people can go tandem in this kayak!
- Rod Holders – You don’t have to compromise hull space because there are rod holders built-in to this kayak.
- Battery Box – There is room for a battery so you can add an electric motor, fish finder and more!
Our Thoughts After Using the NuCanoe Frontier 12:
We launched this kayak at Olde Rope Mill Park, Georgia, to really put it to the test!
It’s got a Great Design
Honestly, we love it! The canoe-like, large desk space really keeps things simple and we had plenty of room to move around without a console getting in the way.
The Fusion 360 swivel seat was a game-changer because every other kayak we tested did not have a seat that could rotate 360 degrees. This was very helpful when casting in different directions because we did not have to change the direction of the kayak.
We were pleasantly surprised that this 12-foot kayak could hold two of us with the optional junior seat installed. We were happy to give up the center console features of some of the other kayaks in order to have this option.
We tested the kayak with the optional pedals, and we also dropped in a battery in the battery box along with an electric motor. This was a game-changer because we were able to get to those coves quickly. Once we added this motor, we really didn’t miss being out on a bass boat because we could get around fairly quickly and also fit into the coves easier than a bass boat.
Pedaling is smooth and quiet which lets you sneak up on your catch, and it also frees up your hands to fish while your legs do the pedaling.
We liked having all 3 ways to power the kayak. Most people will do fine with just a paddle and some pedals because if you get tired of paddling, or when you are ready to start casting, you can simply switch over to the pedals. A motor will get you across the water much faster, and of course you will appreciate that if a storm cloud blows up!
Stability and Maneuverability
Thanks to its compact nature, the Frontier 12 was easy to maneuver and control even in those tight coves at the lake. We were able to fish in small and secluded spaces that other larger boats and kayaks couldn’t get to.
This kayak was very stable on the open waters thanks to the canoe-kayak hybrid design! I was able to stand up and cast with confidence, and the wide hull design was a huge benefit over some of the other 12-foot kayaks we tested.
We were able to paddle to where we wanted to go, but we didn’t get there as fast as some of the other kayaks we tested. The downside of having a wider hull is that it does not propel as fast, especially when paddling.
We did not test the kayak choppy saltwater conditions, but with the kayaks wide hull, we don’t think you will have much trouble doing some ocean fishing.
Nucanoe Frontier 12 Detailed Specifications:
The Frontier 12 is a 12-foot kayak with plenty of legroom. It measures 41 inches in width and is 12-17 inches in height. The kayak can sit up to two people comfortably without compromising stability or tipping over.
It weighs in at 80 lbs making it light enough to carry on a truck bed or on top of a car. The kayak is heavy enough to provide the stability you are looking for when casting or encountering rougher waters.
The Frontier 12 has a carrying capacity of 650 lbs. It can carry two average-sized adults without capsizing.
You will also have plenty of capacity to bring home your big catch of the day!
The Frontier 12 comes with a paddle. It is also capable of being powered by pedaling or with a motor if you purchase the optional pedals or electric motor. The optional motor takes all of the work out of powering the kayak.
The Nucanoe Frontier 12 is a sit-on-top kayak.
360-degree fusion seat: The Frontier 12 has an easy to assemble seat with a recumbent bottom and adjustable seatback. The seat is made from aluminum metal covered with a strong mesh material that is stretched over a sturdy base. It has the ability to rotate 360 degrees to allow you to cast in different directions.
The seat is placed in the cockpit area by utilizing the 70-inch gear tracks. These tracks also allow you to add another chair if you are fishing with a friend.
Flex grip handle: The Frontier 12 has a sturdy flex-grip handle that makes it easier to put your Kayak in the water and also take it out.
Wide-open deck: The Frontier 12 has a wide-open deck without a middle console. It is ideal for fishing as it allows you to cast a long line without hitting any obstructions. The open deck gives you plenty of room to stand in case you need to move around when trying to land your catch.
70-inch freedom tracks: The Frontier 12 has 70-inch freedom tracks for mounting camera equipment, additional chairs, and any other equipment you need to make your fishing trip more enjoyable.
Gear vault hatch: The bow has a gear vault hatch with a hatch sack to provide storage for food, drinks and other items you will need during your fishing trips.
The Nucanoe Frontier 12 has many other features including:
- Battery box home
- Side handles and cup holders
- Junior seat compatibility
- Internal hull access
- Horizontal rod holders
- Rod clips
All of these features are meant to give you maximum comfort during your fishing trip and ensure that your kayak can be customized for almost anything, including a powerful motor!
Pros & Cons
- Stability – Extremely stable due to its wide standing deck
- Comfort – It has an adjustable, 360-degree seat with lumbar support
- Simplicity – You can use the wide-open space however you would like, including the ability to add pedals or a junior seat!
- Great Choice for Beginners and Experience Kayakers – Whether this is your first kayak, or if you are looking to upgrade, you can’t go wrong with this one because it can be customized for most anything.
- Speed – It won’t move quickly in open waters and river rapids due to wide beam and flat hull
- Weight – Weighing in at 80lbs NAKED, it may be difficult to transport. It is also a bit slower due to its weight.
Nucanoe Frontier 12 Review & Final Verdict (4.5/5)
And that was our review of the Nucanoe Frontier 12 Kayak.
Although it is a bit slower and heavier than other kayaks, this is still a solid kayak overall.
With some of the brightest minds going into the design of this hybrid canoe/kayak form factor, you can’t go wrong with this choice as it truly has something for everyone.
Oh, and did I mention that it is made in the USA?

Last week, Becker wrestlers took on Dassel-Cokato-Litchfield, Rocori, and Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted in order to claim their title as section champions. Each team came ready to compete, but none of them were quite ready for Becker’s unstoppable team. With three consecutive wins, Becker secured the section champions title and will continue on to wrestle at state for the third year in a row.
Becker vs. Dassel-Cokato-Litchfield
The quarterfinals began with Becker wrestling Dassel-Cokato-Litchfield. Boston Kuschel from Becker and Krey Penk from DCL were the first wrestlers to compete in the quarterfinals.
Kuschel started off strong when he beat Penk in a first round fall and earned six team points. Following Kuschel’s match was Bennett Kujawa, who defeated his DCL opponent in a 19-3 technical fall.
Up next, four Becker wrestlers managed to take out their DOL competition by either first or second round falls.

Bitcoin’s recent surge past the $60,000 mark has captured the attention of investors and financial analysts worldwide. This significant milestone, not seen since the peak of the last bull market in November 2021, signals a potential shift in the cryptocurrency landscape and prompts the question of whether Bitcoin deserves a place in your investment portfolio.
- Bitcoin has surpassed $60,000, marking its highest point since November 2021.
- The crypto market’s total capitalization has exceeded $2 trillion.
- This rally is attributed to several factors, including the anticipation of the Bitcoin halving event and substantial capital inflows into US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs.
- Over 22,000 Bitcoins were added to ETFs in just two days, with trading volumes topping $2 billion.
Understanding the Surge
Bitcoin’s price rally can be attributed to a confluence of factors. The anticipation surrounding the Bitcoin halving event, expected to tighten supply and potentially drive prices higher, has been a significant driver. Additionally, the market has seen substantial capital inflows, notably into US-based spot Bitcoin ETFs, which have added over 22,000 Bitcoins in just two days, reflecting strong investor confidence and a bullish outlook on the cryptocurrency.
Market Dynamics and Investment Inflows
The crypto economy’s market capitalization climbing above $2 trillion underscores the growing acceptance and integration of digital currencies within the broader financial ecosystem. This rally is not isolated to Bitcoin; it reflects a wider trend of increasing valuation and interest across various cryptocurrency assets.
Considerations for Portfolio Inclusion
Diversification Benefits: Bitcoin’s low correlation with traditional asset classes like stocks and bonds can offer diversification benefits to an investment portfolio. However, the degree of diversification depends on the volatility of Bitcoin and the size of the allocation within the portfolio.
Risk Management: Due to its inherent volatility, investors considering Bitcoin for their portfolios need to adopt sound risk management strategies. This can include setting clear investment objectives, determining risk tolerance levels, and using stop-loss orders to mitigate potential losses.
Long-Term Perspective: Given the historical price fluctuations of Bitcoin, a long-term investment perspective may be beneficial. Investors should be prepared for periods of high volatility and price corrections, focusing on the long-term potential of Bitcoin as a revolutionary asset class.
Investor Sentiment and Portfolio Consideration
The resurgence of Bitcoin above the $60K mark has reignited discussions about its role in diversified investment portfolios. While some investors view Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a hedge against inflation and a means of portfolio diversification, others caution against the inherent volatility and regulatory uncertainties that accompany digital assets.
The Debate on Portfolio Inclusion
Including Bitcoin in an investment portfolio involves weighing potential returns against the volatility and risk factors associated with cryptocurrencies. The current rally, while promising, also raises questions about market overheating and the sustainability of these price levels, especially considering the historical price corrections Bitcoin has experienced.
A Unique Opinionated Summary
Bitcoin’s ascent above $60,000 represents a pivotal moment for the cryptocurrency, signaling both its resilience and the fluctuating investor sentiment that drives its valuation. This milestone, combined with the record-high crypto market capitalization, underscores the increasing mainstream acceptance of digital currencies. However, the decision to include Bitcoin in an investment portfolio must be carefully considered, taking into account individual risk tolerance, investment objectives, and the broader economic and regulatory landscape. As the crypto market continues to evolve, staying informed and vigilant will be crucial for investors navigating this dynamic and unpredictable space. | <urn:uuid:cfd17def-27bf-4cce-a766-dffbeccc7583> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pc-tablet.com/bitcoins-surge-above-60k-an-investment-perspective/ | 2024-04-22T21:59:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.922472 | 723 |
Disinfectants are chemical substances designed to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms on surfaces or in liquids. They are commonly used in households, healthcare facilities, and industries to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
Disinfectants work by destroying the cell walls, proteins, or other vital components of microorganisms, rendering them inactive.
Disinfectant Sprays: These are convenient for quickly disinfecting large surfaces such as countertops, sinks, and doorknobs. They typically contain active ingredients such as quaternary ammonium compounds (quats), alcohol, or hydrogen peroxide.
Disinfectant Wipes: Pre-moistened wipes are convenient for wiping down smaller surfaces such as electronics, remote controls, and kitchen appliances. They often contain similar active ingredients as disinfectant sprays.
Disinfectant Cleaners: These are multi-purpose cleaners that not only clean but also disinfect surfaces. They are suitable for routine cleaning of floors, tiles, and other hard surfaces. Disinfectant cleaners may contain a variety of active ingredients such as chlorine compounds, quats, or phenolic compounds.
Bleach: Sodium hypochlorite, commonly known as bleach, is a potent disinfectant effective against a broad spectrum of microorganisms. It can be diluted with water and used to disinfect surfaces, floors, and laundry.
Hydrogen Peroxide Cleaners: Hydrogen peroxide-based cleaners are effective against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. They are often used in bathrooms and kitchens for disinfecting surfaces.
Antibacterial Soaps: These soaps contain antibacterial agents such as triclosan or triclocarban, which help kill bacteria during handwashing. However, their long-term use may contribute to bacterial resistance and are generally not recommended over regular soap and water. | <urn:uuid:5964b67c-f0f0-4836-9207-09c85c31bbf0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pcsphatsima.co.za/product-category/disinfectants/ | 2024-04-22T21:37:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.942878 | 367 |

We hear contradicting information on elastomeric coatings all the time. Even though they are like any other paint that can be applied to most surfaces and is a breathable that doesn’t mean we do not hear concerns from clients all the time. There are still many people who think elastomeric cannot be applied to stucco for instance.
Elastomerics Coatings were originally developed as a water-proof coating or membrane designed to keep water (rain) from penetrating concrete warehouses in areas that were prone to wind driven rains. The idea was to keep moisture from damaging the contents of the warehouse or building. They were typically very thick coatings applied in two separate coats, the second designed to be pin-hole free to prevent water intrusion. The final dry-film thickness would be 16-20 mils (8-10 times thicker than house paint). The coating was designed to very flexible or elastic to compensate for movement or settling and to bridge any cracks from reappearing.
As time progressed painting contractors began using elastomeric on homes for several reasons. The first being the need for a coating that could create a higher film build to fill in the cracking and checking on weathered wood siding. Painting contractors were aware of the benefits of using elastomeric coatings on concrete and stucco substrates to fill and bridge cracking and the fact that elastomeric coatings were a thick, high viscosity, high film build coating, they were also aware that the cost was thirty to fifty percent higher than the typical house paint not to mention the fact the spread rate – coverage was approximately 100 square feet per gallon compared to 300-400 square feet coverage of a quality house paint which in turn makes it more expensive then traditional acrylic paints.
They are among the best coatings used for stucco, poured concrete and masonry surfaces because of their waterproofing properties. You are assured that your house is protected from the rain and water damage from properly-applied elastomeric coatings.
Elastomeric paint is at least 10 times thicker than conventional paints. It attains greater dry film thickness than ordinary paints at 10 to 20 mils per coat against 2 to 3 mils for paints. The extra thickness translates to added protection to wall surfaces.
Elastomerics can stretch and fill small gaps in the wall. They are also very tolerant to small substrate movements. They can serve as flexible coatings between cracks. They can also adopt to expansion and contraction of walls during cold and warm weathers.
A single attractive feature of this product is its durability. Manufacturers, in fact, give up to 10-year warranty for elastomeric coatings compared to the usual 2-year warranty for ordinary paints.

serve your dog their food twice a day but each time they give it a sniff, maybe
take a bite or two, and walk away. Does this sound familiar? Then you’re likely
dealing with a picky eater. Dealing with a dog who is selective about what they
eat can be stressful, but fortunately, there are a number of things you can do
to turn this behavior around.
Switch to Freshpet
Dogs that either pick at their food or simply refuse to eat it would benefit from a switch to Freshpet. Pups get excited when they’re served our food because we only use real, fresh ingredients that we slowly steam cook to maintain nutrition and taste. When it comes to preservatives, the fridge is all we use. We never use any pre-processed meat powders, “chicken meals,” or by-products – just real meat as the #1 ingredient, and real veggies you can see. Picky pets can taste (and smell) the difference, which is why we’re proud to say we’re “Picky Eater Approved”. But don’t just take our word for it, read Rudy’s story.
Serve some tough love
When a dog is hungry it will eat, so it’s important to show them that no other options exist once their food has been served. Training your dog to understand this can take some time and perseverance, but if you follow through even the pickiest dog should start to eat. The process itself is very simply: set your dog’s food out for 30 minutes – if they don’t eat it, take it away. Follow this same process each time you feed them. Over time, they will understand that the food that is served to them is what they need to eat. Of course, if they go more than 24 hours without eating, consult your vet to ensure that there isn’t an underlying medical issue.
Turn feeding time into a game
your dog enjoys playing, using interactive food puzzles is an easy way to turn
feeding time into a game. These toys provide a fun mental and physical
challenge that makes your pet work for their food. This way, they aren’t being
served their full portion right away, instead, they need to work to get their
food and are rewarded each time they solve the puzzle. This encourages them to
keep going and makes the entire process of eating a fun activity they look
Mix up their food
Some pets simply don’t enjoy eating the same thing every day. For these selective eaters, it can require some creativity to mix up their food in a way that keeps them interested, without upsetting their stomach. An easy way to do this is with Freshpet Homestyle Creations. These custom dog food recipes allow you to mix-and-match 100% natural, nutritious dishes that will keep your dog excited for every new dish. Each recipe has pure chicken or beef patties as a base and you can choose from three healthy mixers, containing a mix of antioxidant-rich fruits and vegetables. Like all Freshpet recipes, each meal is nutritionally balanced so your pup is getting everything they need to live a healthy, happy, tail-wagging life.
Try feeding at different times of the
While it may seem logical to feed your pup when you first wake up and then again in the evening, not all dogs enjoy eating on this schedule. If they’re not eating at the times you serve them their meals, try shifting them to different times in the day. Instead of first thing in the morning, wait a few hours until after they’ve had some time to wake up and go for a walk. You could also try feeding them later in the evening instead of around your dinner time. It may take a few tries to find a schedule that they’re happy with, so don’t fret if you don’t see an improvement right away.
matter which method you try, it’s important to be patient when trying to turn
around your picky eater – you may need to try a few things before you find what
works. If you’re not seeing any progress or your dog stops eating for more than
24 hours, be sure to contact your veterinarian as there may be underlying
health issues that need to be addressed. | <urn:uuid:bb0de425-62c2-431a-9ec4-6f271633031f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://petsforchildren.com/pet-tips/the-best-ways-to-turn-around-a-picky-eater/ | 2024-04-22T22:15:50Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.966736 | 914 |

What made it so interesting? Well, it certainly wasn't the title ("money"). Or even the deadpan delivery of the session moderator. And from the written agenda; well, let us just say I was hoping to learn something.
In fact, it took me a Muni ride home to realize just how informative it had been. Here's what I realized as I tried not to put my bag on any body else's foot while also keeping other people's elbows out of my ear (rush hour public transit):
So, why did I like the session so much? Let me count the ways:
- Two professional "money men" decried the financial industry. One of them decried government's deference to financial services as a major cause of our current economic woes;
- A representative of organized labor recognized its failures, and told hopeful stories of its work with the emergent labor movement, centered around worker centers, interfaith groups, and community organizations. He rightly noted the similarities between today's day laborers and the building trades workers of the late 19th century (you know me, cite some history and you’ve got me);
- Building assets is a key to ending poverty (not just jobs and not just income). Existing and potential market and regulatory solutions to making this happen for poor people and people of color were discussed – and we needed more time to learn more;
- Kiva’s discussion of micro-lending was the only philanthropic player on the panel – and the talk was all about lending, re-using capital, and transnational and intranational entrepreneurism (not giving). Ninety percent of money lent through Kiva get loaned again. Kiva recognizes the data market it is building and the potential uses for it down the road;
- No one touted – or even mentioned – philanthropic efforts* as an initiative, a solution, a program, the silver bullet, (or a panacea);
- The subsidies that help asset holders build wealth were laid out next to the subsidies that “theoretically” help poor people climb out of poverty. No surprise, the first ones work and are rarely talked about as subsidies (they have fancy names like tax incentives) and the second ones don’t (and are routinely decried as public benefits). One exception – the earned income tax credit.
- The top contributors to Obama’s campaign were listed, and then show next to a list of the top contributors to McCain’s campaign. If you weren’t in favor of public financing before these lists should make you a believer. Same thing if you wondered about politics, the economy, and our current financial state - on both lists are Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Lehman Bros, Merrill Lynch, and Goldman Sachs.
- Free market orthodoxy was denounced as a misapplication of Newtonian physics. By a money guy.
- When was the last time you attended a session at a philanthropically-sponsored conference and actually wondered if there was a role for philanthropy in the solutions?
- The speakers all made it clear that there are structural problems built into both our political and economic systems that are a) human created, b) manipulable, c) inherently and overtly biased, and d) fixable.
- Complexity can be explained quickly. These speakers proved it.
- Have you ever left a philanthropy conference session wondering if there were any philanthropic examples?
- Alternative credit scores, alternative post secondary options, and the idea of new capitalism.
- I now have a slightly better understanding of the relationship between the credit crisis, mortgage collapse, gasoline prices, bailouts of Bear Stearns and Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac.
- This kind of discussion is ALL about the relationships between public and private, collective and individual, big and small, black and white, rich and poor, here and there.
- Jennifer Johns.
*Seriously, the only time foundations were mentioned was one comment about the Gates and Kellogg Foundations' work to develop alternative post-secondary credentials.

My company has consulted to Tides, several of the senior executives at Tides are friends and mentors of mine, and I am friends with and have worked with their PR consultant.

Aqua satellite helps confirm Subtropical Storm Alpha
Subtropical Storm Alpha has formed near the coast of Portugal, becoming the first named storm using the Greek Alphabet list, now that the annual list of names is exhausted. NASA's Aqua satellite obtained visible imagery of the new storm.
NASA Satellite View
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer or MODIS instrument that flies aboard NASA's Aqua satellite captured a visible image of Subtropical Storm Alpha on Sept. 18 at 8:30 a.m. EDT (1:30 p.m. local time) near Portugal. The image showed a better-organized small low-pressure area that has been rotating around a larger extratropical low pressure area. Satellite imagery shows that moderate-to-deep convection has persisted near the center creating thunderstorms since last night. Meanwhile scatterometer data shows a closed 40-knot low-pressure area, and the National Hurricane Center noted that radar images from Portugal show a definite organized convective pattern.
Although Alpha is "likely neutral- or cold-core, it has developed enough tropical characteristics to be considered a subtropical storm," said Eric Blake, senior hurricane specialist at NOAA's National Hurricane Center (NHC) in Miami, Fla.
Satellite imagery was created using NASA's Worldview product at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
At 12:30 p.m. EDT (1630 UTC), NOAA's National Hurricane Center (NHC) noted the center of Subtropical Storm Alpha was located near latitude 39.9 degrees north and longitude 9.3 degrees west. That is just 75 miles (125 km) north of Lisbon, Portugal. The storm is moving toward the northeast near 17 mph (28 kph), and this general motion is expected during the next day or so before dissipation. Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 kph) with higher gusts. The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 millibars.
Alpha should move across the coast of west-central Portugal during the next couple of days. Little change in strength is expected before landfall, with rapid weakening over land through the weekend.
NHC said Alpha is expected to produce 1 to 2 inches (25 to 50 mm) of rainfall, with isolated amounts of 3 inches (75 mm) over the northern portion of Portugal and into west-central Spain through Saturday morning.
Information on wind hazards from Alpha can be found in products from the Portuguese Institute for Sea and Atmosphere at http://www.ipma.pt.
Global models show the small low pressure area moving northeastward for the next 24 hours before dissipating over northern Spain or the Bay of Biscay.

Compton Scattering – Cross-Sections+ The formula gives the probability of scattering a photon into the solid angle element dΩ = 2π sin Θ dΘ when the incident energy is E0. The wavelength change in such scattering depends only upon the angle of scattering for a given target particle.
How do you calculate Compton shift?
Compton backscattering is a well-established method to produce high-energy photons (gamma rays) for nuclear physics experiments. Compton backscattering involves the collision of a low-energy (eV) photon with a high-energy (hundreds of MeV) electron.
How do you find the kinetic energy of an electron in the Compton effect?
- The kinetic energy gained by an electron is given by, (one can derive this expression) K = hf.
- ∆λ λ + ∆λ
- = (1243 eV nm) (4.86 × 10.
What is Compton shift in physics?
The increase in wavelength, or Compton shift, does not depend on the wavelength of the incident photon. The wavelength of the photon after (λ′) and before (λ) the scattering event differs by λ′ − λ = (h/mc)(1 − cos θ).
What is backscattering radiation?
Definition of Compton shift : the increase in X-ray or gamma-ray wavelength resulting from the transfer of energy that accompanies the scattering of photons in the Compton effect.
Is Compton effect possible with K shell electron?
Definition of backscatter : the scattering of radiation or particles in a direction opposite to that of the incident radiation due to reflection from particles of the medium traversed also : the radiation or particles so reversed in direction.
What is Compton effect PDF?
So we understood that Compton scattering takes place for both Valence and K shell electrons.
What is Compton effect example?
Definitions: When a scattering of a high energy photon by a free charged particle (usually a loosely bound outer-shell electron in target material) results an increase in wavelength between scattered and initial photon, then it is called Compton Effect.
What is Compton effect derive the equation for Compton shift?
A photon with a wavelength of 6.00 x 10-12 m collides with an electron. After the collision the photon’s wavelength is found to have been changed by exactly one Compton wavelength (2.43 x 10-12 m).
What is the wavelength of Compton effect?
Using conservation of momentum and energy, the momentum of the scattered photon h/2 can be related to the initial momentum, the electron mass, and the scattering angle. The resulting Compton equation for the change in the wavelength of the x ray is Equation 3-40.
How kinetic energy is gained by recoil electron in Compton scattering?
It was introduced by Arthur Compton in 1923 in his explanation of the scattering of photons by electrons (a process known as Compton scattering). The CODATA 2018 value for the Compton wavelength of the electron is 2.42631023867(73)×10−12 m. Other particles have different Compton wavelengths.
How do you find the kinetic energy of a scattered electron?
The photon is scattered through an angle θ, and the scattered photon has frequency ff, energy Ef =hff, and momentum pf =h/λf. As a result of the collision, the electron recoils at angle ϕ relative to the incident photon direction, and acquires kinetic energy KEe and momentum pe.
What is the maximum kinetic energy of the recoil electron in Compton effect?
What is λ H MV?
In a Compton scattering event, the scattered photon has an energy of 120 keV and the recoiling electron has an energy of 40 keV.
Why are there 2 peaks in Compton scattering?
The deBroglie wavelength is defined as follows: lambda = h/mv , where the greek letter lambda represents the wavelength, h is Planck’s contant, m is the particle’s mass and v is its velocity.
What does Compton shift depend on?
Each of the different angles give different values of the wavelength at which the scattered photon comes out. The angle dictates the change in λ . The two peaks are the peak values of the incident and the scattered wavelengths at different angles of scattering.
Is Compton shift and Compton effect same?
The shift depends only on the angle of scattering. It is the scattering of a photon by a charged particle, usually an electron. When a photon collides with an electron at rest, the photon gives its energy to the electron.
Why does Compton shift occur?
The amount by which the light’s wavelength changes is called the Compton shift. Although nucleus Compton scattering exists, Compton scattering usually refers to the interaction involving only the electrons of an atom. The Compton effect was observed by Arthur Holly Compton in 1923 at Washington University in St.
What causes backscattering?
Compton effect or Compton scatter is one of principle forms of photon interaction. It is the main cause of scattered radiation in a material. It occurs due to the interaction of the photon (x-ray or gamma) with free electrons (unattached to atoms) or loosely bound valence shell (outer shell) electrons.
What is backscattering coefficient?
Backscatter is mainly caused by strobes or the internal flash lighting up particles in the water in between the lens and the subject. It can also be caused by lighting up open water directly behind a subject.
What is another term for backscattering?
The backscatter coefficient (BSC) is a fundamental quantity that contains information about material microstructure. Extraction of microstructural properties through analysis of BSCs has been extensively studied in the past for tissue characterization applications in biomedical ultrasound.
Why photoelectric emission of K shell electrons is most probable?
scatter, break up, disperse.
What kind of photon is required for Compton effect?
The Compton effect occurs for most of the atomic electrons. A gamma photon plays the role of a projectile that collides with an electron in an atom that serves as a target. Gamma was represented as a punctual particle because of its very short wavelength at the atomic scale.
Is Compton scattering elastic or inelastic?
The Compton effect is the inelastic scattering of a photon (usually X-ray or γ-ray) by an electron; when the target electron is moving, the Compton-scattered radiation is also Doppler-broadened, and its energy distribution at a given scattering angle is called Compton profile.
What is Compton effect PPT?
In photo electric effect K-shell electron is favoured because of the high electron cloud density in the K-shell. Show activity on this post. Most Photoelectric interactions occur in the K shell because the density of the electron cloud is greater in this region and a higher probability of interaction exists. | <urn:uuid:2ddbf16d-223a-447d-85b5-6ee637e202e9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://physics-network.org/what-is-compton-backscattering/ | 2024-04-22T23:12:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.918253 | 1,436 |

I’m a collector of ideas. Though not a very good one. I have a tendency to let brilliant, world-changing picture book ideas escape by not writing them down. Great ideas slip into my head at inopportune times. Almost never when I am at my keyboard or sitting with pen and paper in hand. They usually manifest themselves while I am driving. Or in the shower. Or toting that bale. If the idea is good enough, and it almost always is, I don’t worry because I am certain I’ll remember it and can write it down later. Which is almost never the case. I inevitably forget what was so damn good.
Another time and place I get terrific ideas is in-between the sounding of the snooze alarm. That semi-lucid state where every idea is magnificent and perfect for the book I want to write. The kind of book that everyone will embrace. The kind of book that will sell millions. But I don’t believe I’ve EVER recovered a snooze alarm idea. Friends in the writing world have suggested more than once that I keep a pen and a tablet by my bedside to scratch out those ideas when they come. I’ve tried. Lord knows I’ve tried. If I can struggle to open my eyes and write an idea down, chances are it will be unintelligible when I eventually get up. But more than likely, the idea will fall into that “so-freakin’-brilliant-there-is-no-way-I’ll-forget-this!” category and hitting the snooze button I’ll plummet back to sleep, congratulating myself on my brilliance, never to recall even glimpse of that idea again.
For the past few years, I’ve participated in Picture Book Idea Month (PiBoIdMo.) The idea is to come up with one picture book idea a day for the month of November. (The same month I grow my pathetic mustache and beard.) It seems an easy task, right? One idea a day for thirty days. Not even a fleshed out story—just the idea. Over the past 3 years, I have created a list of nearly 90 story ideas gathered during PiBoIdMo. I’ve structured a handful of them into viable stories. In December 2012, I was going over some of the ideas I had written down the previous month, had an Ah Ha! moment with one of them, and wrote BUNNIES!!! the same day. And in January, 2013, BUNNIES!!! got me a new agent, sold immediately, and comes out this January. So. Writing ideas down, no matter how obvious or memorable or spectacular you think they are, works. I just need to do it more consistently. Even in the non-facial hair months.
Writing (picture books) is hard. Writing down ideas for picture books shouldn’t be. | <urn:uuid:43523dde-7e89-459f-b52e-57f86c7864da> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://picturebookbuilders.com/2014/10/write-it-down/?doing_wp_cron=1713826637.4031720161437988281250 | 2024-04-22T22:57:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.9489 | 621 |

The oldest yet evidence of the presence in the world of the “Black Death” bacteria was recently isolated from a flea that was entombed in Amber around 20 million years ago, according to recent reports.
The “fossil” bacteria found is thought to be rather closely related to the bacteria thought to be responsible for the Black Death — Yersinia pestis. So, an ancient relative of the bubonic plague, in other words.
Interesting to consider the thought that the bacteria, responsible for wiping out half the population of Europe in the 14th century, and countless others elsewhere and at other times, has been around in fairly unchanged form for at least 20 million years. However old the ancestral line actually is, it certainly appears that it considerably predates the emergence of humans.
Here are some details on the finding:
Findings on this extraordinary amber fossil have been published in the Journal of Medical Entomology by George Poinar, Jr., an entomology researcher in the College of Science at Oregon State University, and a leading expert on plant and animal life forms found preserved in this semi-precious stone.
It can’t be determined with certainty that these bacteria, which were attached to the flea’s proboscis in a dried droplet and compacted in its rectum, are related to Yersinia pestis, scientists say. But their size, shape and characteristics are consistent with modern forms of those bacteria. They are a coccobacillus bacteria; they are seen in both rod and nearly spherical shapes; and are similar to those of Yersinia pestis. Of the pathogenic bacteria transmitted by fleas today, only Yersinia has such shapes.
“Aside from physical characteristics of the fossil bacteria that are similar to plague bacteria, their location in the rectum of the flea is known to occur in modern plague bacteria,” stated Poinar. “And in this fossil, the presence of similar bacteria in a dried droplet on the proboscis of the flea is consistent with the method of transmission of plague bacteria by modern fleas.”
Very notably, these findings are at odds with genomic research (as many archaeological records are…) — which suggests that flea-plague-vertebrate cycle evolved only arose in the past 20,000 years. This is microbial life that we’re talking about here though — an area that despite the bluster of some modern researchers is still quite hard to accurately model/predict.
However, today there are several strains of Yersinia pestis, and there is evidence that past outbreaks of this disease were caused by still different strains, some of which are extinct today.
While human strains of Yersinia could well have evolved some 10,000 to 20,000 years ago, Poinar said, ancient Yersinia strains that evolved as rodent parasites could have appeared long before humans existed. These ancient strains would certainly be extinct by now, he said.
The complex mode of transmission of plague is also reflected in the flea seen in this fossil. When a flea feeds on a plague-infected animal, the Yersinia pestis bacteria taken up with the blood often form a viscous mass in the flea’s proventriculus, located between the stomach and esophagus. When this happens, the fleas can’t obtain enough blood, and as they attempt to feed again, bacteria are often forced back out through the proboscis and into the wound.
This blockage is in part what makes them effective vectors of the plague, and the dried droplets on the proboscis of the fossil flea could represent a sample of the sticky bacterial mass that was regurgitated.
“If this is an ancient strain of Yersinia, it would be extraordinary,” Poinar noted. “It would show that plague is actually an ancient disease that no doubt was infecting and possibly causing some extinction of animals long before any humans existed. Plague may have played a larger role in the past than we imagined.”
A couple of final notes here:
- The Amber fossil containing the flea in question was mined in what’s now the Dominican Republic.
- The flea species in question is of course long extinct, and very few of its type have been found in amber.
- Rodent hair was also recovered from the same amber mine source.
- Flea-like creatures date back to at least the time of the dinosaurs, and may have played a part in the mass extinction on the branch, according to some researchers.
- The emergence of malaria and leishmaniasis very clearly dates to around the time that dinosaurs were beginning to decline. | <urn:uuid:31134ec9-dd03-4224-bf06-33b682bf4958> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://planetsave.com/articles/20-million-year-old-black-death-ancestor-found-in-flea-in-amber/ | 2024-04-22T23:25:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.9719 | 980 |
Measuring just 200 by 400 microns (about 10 times the width of a human hair on its widest dimension), one would think finding an ancient zircon to be harder than finding a needle in the proverbial haystack…Or, in this case, like finding a nearly microscopic gemstone on a sheep farm in Western Australia. But geologists treasure such finds, even more than the rarest of gemstones. This is because such minerals contain clues to our planet’s beginnings.
According to the geologists that found it, the tiny zircon crystal is 4.4 billion year old. As the age of our planet is estimated to be around 4.5 billion years, that means that the tiny crystal was formed barely 100 million years after our planet (and its outer crust layer) was formed — and just 160 million years after the entire solar system was formed!
Such crystals are typically formed in the Earth’s crustal layers, and, under cooler geologic conditions. Thus, this early date would seem to indicate that our planet’s crust formed much earlier than previously theorized. Also, it lends strong support to the ‘cool early Earth’ theory in which much milder temperatures predominated and so could sustain large surface oceans — even possibly primordial lifeforms — relatively shortly after forming.
Geosciences professor John Valley (University of Wisconsin) and leader of the geologic survey that found the zircon, believes that the find indicates our early Earth was not quite as harsh and/or inhosptiable a place (for liquid water, and thus even primitive unicellular lifeforms) as other theories have suggested suggest.
“We have no evidence that life existed then. We have no evidence that it didn’t. But there is no reason why life could not have existed on Earth 4.3bn years ago,” said Valley in a press statement.
This early period in ourt planet’s geologic history is known as the Hadean Aeon (after the Greek god of the underworld, Hades). It is so named becasue it is widely accepted that the Earth formed from a relateively spheroid mass of molten rock (hot iron, mostly) — the very conditons one might expect in Hades. But according to this newer thoery, the Earth cooled down quite rapidly (within that 100 million year time span) and so coudl support liquid water at a much early time (other wise, was water may have formed would have quickly evaporated; the Earth being the equivalnet of a geological steam bath).
To determine and verify the age of the crystal, the geological team used two dating methods;the first was a standard dating technique based upon the radioactive decay of uranium to lead in a mineral/crystal matrix. However, because lead atoms can move through the crystal over time, they can give a false date. So, the team also conducted a more advanced test using a technique called atom-probe tomography. This technique permits measurement of the mass of individual atoms of lead within the crystal, and the two measurments together confirmed the age of the crystal at 4.4 billion years.
The oldest fossilized life forms known on our planet are stromatolites — structures formed by archaic, bacteria-like microbes — dating to 3.4 billion years.
The crystal find and analysis was published in a recent edition of Nature Geoscience,

Originally published on CleanTechnica.
More and more, comprehensive scientific reports warn us of the dangers of diesel pollution. How much are we exposed to diesel each day? Do we want to know?
Tim Johns for BBC measured his exposure in daily environments — transit, home, and work. What did these situations reflect regarding airborne pollutants (that he breathes)? Compromised immune systems start with compromised lungs. It is my opinion we are all suffering as pollutants from the air enter our lungs and lower immune and respiratory function. I am not alone in these concerns: the World Health Organization reclassified diesel pollution as a “definite carcinogen” in 2012 — primarily causing lung and to some extent bladder cancer.
Being a healthcare provider, I believe fossil fuels are making us sick. It naturally follows that reading health studies leads one to become an EV advocate and driver — or bicyclist/pedestrian (other conscientious choices). Every physician and healthcare provider should drive an electric car, bicycle, and/or walk. We advocate nutritious fresh food and exercise — we need to support clean-air vehicles. UK-funded carcinogen expert from King’s College London, Professor David Phillips, provides some details and perspective:
“When diesel burns inside an engine it releases two potentially cancer-causing things: microscopic soot particles, and chemicals called ‘polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons’, or PAHs. According to Phillips, there are three possible ways these can cause cancer: ‘Firstly, inhaled PAHs could directly damage the DNA in the cells of our lungs – leading to cancer.’”
Richard Branson and the B Team (the end of business as usual) voiced the belief that humankind will look back on this dirty, air-polluting automobile culture as they now do second-hand cigarette smoke (which is now banned many places). For those of us who recognize the threat and want to limit exposure to diesel fumes, how can we do that? Whether we drive electric or bicycle, we are surrounded by other vehicles spewing fumes. Going on, Phillips states:
“Secondly, the soot particles can get lodged deep inside the lungs, causing long-term inflammation, and thirdly, this can increase the rate at which cells divide. So if any nearby lung cells pick up random mutations, this inflammation could, theoretically, make them more likely to grow and spread.”
Would that latest virus be as compromising if one’s immune system was not down already from air pollutants? I think not. In the UK, a recent study blames air pollution for 40,000 early deaths every year. In the same study, “researchers cited diesel as the major villain.” And why, when there is a solution? It is not just the time you lose stuck in traffic — slow-moving traffic (as is often found in cities) is about the worse for diesel fumes. (Thank you to the researchers at King’s College for this information).
BBC’s Tim Johns, who bicycles and uses mass transit to work every day, probes the issue in his life:
“Waiting for my train one day, standing in the concourse, it occurred to me that there seemed to be rather a lot of fumes coming from the idling diesel engines.
How much diesel pollution was I breathing in?
I decided to undertake an experiment for The Jeremy Vine Show on BBC Radio 2 to find out how much I was being exposed to on a daily basis, in different locations and on different modes of transport.”
With a portable device to monitor pollution, he began. The device measured black carbon particles from the combustion of diesel fuel. High readings meant poor air quality and a poor-for-health environment.
John’s continues relating the horrifying specifics of underground particulates in the air in London:
There’s one other astonishing measurement I recorded which I haven’t mentioned yet. On the London Underground, my device gave me a reading of 77.8.
But this wasn’t caused by diesel fumes — other particles found underground can skew the reading.
“The device measured ‘black particles,’ which, above ground would primarily be black carbon from diesel,” says Barratt., “But below ground, most of it is oxidised iron coming from the tracks. It’s well-known that the Tube is a dusty environment, but what is not well known is how toxic the particular kind of particles that we breathe while travelling underground are.”
This study calls to light a disturbing problem for the urbanite who does have a lighter footprint.
Similar studies should be done in New York subways and the other principal cities to incite better protections for the passengers. If not by removing the toxic particles, at least, municipalities might establish air filtering systems in the underground. Is this asking too much? The US bans street drugs and other forms of abusive substances — why not ban carcinogenic pollutants? Why not ask more of air quality for the masses who travel underground?

The 12 LEGIONS Podcast trailer is the 3 minute introduction to this life changing journey style podcast where we engage in the Father's Love and His words.
What does it all mean? Is it for real or just crazy talk? Why do people not answer my strange and unusual questions about this thing called Faith and Spirituality ???
- This podcast exists to answer those questions, this exists to share real life testimonies of God's love for each and one of us, not a select few, but for ALL that choose to follow him. This exists to help you come into full obedience, total alignment and to bring light to where there is darkness.

Paul Paese, of PMC, had the pleasure this month of teaching “Strategies for Conflict Resolution” to leaders at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. DTRA is the only Department of Defense organization focused exclusively on countering and deterring weapons of mass destruction and emerging threats. DTRA works with the DoD, other U.S. Government partners, and international partners to preserve peace and prepare for uncertainty in a rapidly evolving, globalized threat environment. “Strategies for Conflict Resolution” is a course offered by WashU at Brookings, a partnership of the Brookings Institution and Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) Olin School of Business. Paul was honored to work with this esteemed group of leaders, and was greatly impressed by their thoughtfulness and dedication to learning. | <urn:uuid:36727920-f68f-4dd8-9d80-e1e1dee03de2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://pmcleadership.com/october-2021/ | 2024-04-22T22:01:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.95133 | 163 |

Welcome to Difficult Conversations with Dr. Anthony Orsini. Today, our guest host is Liz Poret-Christ, who is the Director of Programming at The Orsini Way. Liz has a very personal relationship with our special guest, Gunnar Esiason. Gunnar is the son of Boomer Esiason, and known for his life-long battle with cystic fibrosis. Boomer and Gunnar were featured on the cover of the October 1993 Sports Illustrated to raise awareness about cystic fibrosis, and he has spent his entire life in the public eye, first as a child of a famous athlete, and now as an advocate and resource for those living with CF. Gunnar is a rare disease patient advocate who is passionate about early- stage drug development, patient empowerment, and health policy. He has developed a patient engagement platform for a medical nutrition company, built a venture philanthropy practice at the Boomer Esiason Foundation, and was the head coach of his high school’s alma mater’s varsity hockey team. He has consulted on clinical trial development, a real-world evidence population health study, and a cystic fibrosis-specific mental health and wellness screening tool. Currently he hosts the podcast, The State of Health with Gunnar Esiason. Gunnar has been a household name in Liz’s family since her daughter was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis in 2003. Liz and her family have benefited from the generosity of the Boomer Esiason Foundation, learning about treatments, the importance of athletics, and insights into the latest medical research.
We start by Gunnar telling us about his personal journey and how cystic fibrosis has affected his family. We find out the story behind why Gunnar changed his mind about going to Law School after getting out of college, and he goes in depth about his own patient experience and why he’s so excited about patient advocacy. We hear a story about a conversation Gunnar had with his doctor when he was very sick and only 22 years and what happened when he got a spot in the TRIKAFTA clinical trial program. We end with Gunnar sharing a conversation he found to be most difficult. He tells us about the amazing things he is doing with the Boomer Esiason Foundation and talks about their program supporting athletes with cystic fibrosis.

After the terrorist attacks in Brussels in March, 2016, a Russian top official Zhirinovsky, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Russia, the leader of the second biggest party on Russia and a five times Presidential Candidate, made the following statement:
That is beneficial for us. Let them perish and die. (Video at Youtube)
I'd like to know how exactly the Russia benefits from these tragic events.
Some observers (like The Washington Post) quickly suggest that the Russians offer the West „closer cooperation with Moscow in the global fight against terrorism“ — obviously, in exchange of loosening economic sanctions for its past and current aggressions.
The Newsweek article, „Brussels Attacks are Good for Russia, Says Nationalist Leader“ also suggests:
Zhirinovsky’s rationale was that after such attacks European countries would see Russia as an ally and align themselves with Moscow. “Let them then come to us and beg us,” Zhirinovsky said.
This does not sound very convincing:
- The Russian troops has been withdrawn from Syria after making little, if any, harm to ISIS;
- The retreat has occurred just before the coalition was ready to start ground operation in Syria. If it started, the direct military conflict between the coalition and the Russia would become inevitable;
- Besides the Middle East, there are no other places the coalition is planning to fight terrorism in the nearest time, and where the Russian troops can be pf any help;
- The entire behavior of Russian top officials looks like blackmailing: "you either cooperate with us or else wait for more terrorist attacks";
- This also raises a pretty straightforward question of who is responsible for attacks in Brussels. I'd like this to be out of scope of this question, but it seems that Belgian police has already prevented some terrorist attacks by capturing 16 Russians back in summer 2015 (WSJ).
So, besides of the highly controversial argument of Russian hopes of becoming an ally in fight against terrorism, how exactly the Russia benefits from the recent terrorist attacks in Brussels? | <urn:uuid:1d9d12d8-3165-43f1-a19f-56494f6f85b2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/10336/how-exactly-russia-benefits-from-recent-terrorist-strikes-in-brussels | 2024-04-22T22:59:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818374.84/warc/CC-MAIN-20240422211055-20240423001055-00868.warc.gz | en | 0.966328 | 426 |
