Children at Clayton Early Learning dug right in and got their hands dirty as part of a comprehensive health and wellness program that starts in the garden. With the generous support of two Colorado companies, an enthusiastic group of children experienced the joy of playing in the dirt, and for good reason. The historic Clayton campus is home to more than twenty thriving gardens of fresh produce that teach, inspire, and help to feed families in the surrounding Park Hill neighborhood.
“Clayton has been a cornerstone of this neighborhood for more than 100 years,” commented Charlotte Brantley, president and CEO at Clayton. “Whether for the children we serve here on campus, or those benefiting from our home-based and community outreach, fresh food grown in these gardens helps our families make healthful eating easier at home.”
Brantley added, “We know good nutrition is central to healthy childhood development, yet many of our families experience food insecurity.” Nearly half of the children that Clayton serves are from single parent households, and more than 90 percent of them are living below federal poverty standards.
The Clayton gardens are made possible with a generous donation of more than 1,000 Hardy Boy plants, and the expertise and maintenance services of Designscapes Colorado. “The entire Designscapes team gets involved with the Clayton garden project,” said owner Phil Steinhauer. “Our staff really enjoys giving back to our community, especially when we know we’re helping improve the lives of children.“
Throughout the summer, young children at the Educare Denver school at Clayton will participate in hands-on educational activities in the gardens, learning about how food is grown, and why fresh food is important for their growing bodies. Children who plant, care for, and harvest fresh food from a garden naturally have more opportunities to develop healthy attitudes about what they eat.
The Clayton garden-to-table model is the basis for Moonbeam Harvest, an annual fundraising event benefitting the early childhood programs of Clayton Early Learning. For more information about Moonbeam Harvest, visit www.claytonmoonbeam.org
Clayton Early Learning, a 501(c)(3), is Colorado’s leading catalyst in providing early care and education to ensure optimal development for all children, especially those of limited opportunities. We harness the synergy of four dynamic initiatives – classroom and family-centered practices in our schools, research and program evaluation, professional development of teachers and leaders, and effective policy advocacy – to spark improved early care and education approaches statewide in collaboration with other public and private entities.

The Dakotas are both subject to potential override, where the land to the west is pushed eastward during rapid subducting of the Pacific plate under the North American plate. This has somewhat unpredictable results, as until the plates are put to the test, just what areas will break and crumble is not known. The pressure is relative, in that it is not how much pressure exists at any one spot, but whether a nearby area has broken and is on the move. Land, as water, takes the path of least resistance. Thus, should the land to the west break and start sliding over the plains, land under pressure to move, to crumble and push out of the way, to the north or south of this point could move sideways to take advantage of the pressure vent. An additional worry in flat land is the very real possibility of flooding, with no safe place above the flood. As was noted during a recent spring melt in the Dakotas, flood waters on flat land produces a huge lake, which can shock residents not accustomed to thinking of themselves as vulnerable in this way. During the torrential rains that accompany the shift, such floods are a given.
Both the Missouri and Red rivers have dams, which will all shatter during the hour of the pole shift. Despite this, extensive flooding will occur as the lakes and reservoirs they create will need to empty, and these will fill as fast as they empty due to the torrential rains that will develop during the pole shift. If these dams are released well ahead of time, the flooding could be countered, but in that denial will be in force up until the hour of the pole shift, this is unlikely to happen. The dams create recreational opportunities, tourism, and state and federal caretakers as likely to be stricken by blind denial as private citizens. Drought and deluge cycles are worsening, and it may be that prior to the pole shift the Dakotas will experience flooding that will force new rules, with the water levels lowered to prevent horrific floods. This is in the hands of man, so we cannot predict the outcome.

Gaza City – For the past 15 years, Wael al-Ghussein has been struggling to keep his oxygen canister factory in Gaza open.
Like many other entrepreneurs in the territory, blockaded by Israel since 2007, al-Ghussein has to face restrictions on imports, Israeli attacks and the generally poor economic conditions that have existed in Gaza for years.
list of 3 items“Previously, the factory operated for 24 hours a day, but now we only operate three days a month,” al-Ghussein told Al Jazeera. “We used to have 30 employees working for us, today we have only three workers.”
Restrictions have made it difficult to import basic raw materials and equipment necessary for the factory, and constant power cuts have also limited al-Ghussein’s ability to operate his business effectively.
“Entry permits for raw materials and equipment need months to be approved by the Israeli side,” al-Ghussein said. “Some of the materials were damaged due to the waiting period, and sometimes there was no approval.”
Al-Ghussein explained that he spends thousands of dollars per month on the fuel needed for the generators that run the factory during the eight to 12 hours a day that power is off.
To make matters worse, al-Ghussein has already had to rebuild his factory just to return it to the level it was at when the blockade began.
In 2002, al-Ghusseini says that Israeli bulldozers destroyed his factory, located in the industrial zone in southeast Gaza. He estimates his losses from the destruction of the factory at $4m.
He was able to rebuild two years later on a smaller scale in Gaza City, but had lost many of his customers.
The blockade of Gaza, which Israel imposed after Hamas took control of the territory, has heavily affected the territory’s economy.
According to a 2021 World Bank report, Gaza only contributes 18 percent to the overall Palestinian economy, half of what it previously did 30 years ago.
It has also deindustrialised, and, with a 45 percent unemployment rate and an almost 50 percent poverty rate, Palestinians in Gaza are heavily dependent on external transfers of money.
“Gaza’s citizens suffer from poor electricity and water-sewerage availability, conflict-related psychological trauma, and limited movement,” the report added.
Jamal Al-Khudari, a Palestinian parliamentarian who heads the Popular Committee Against the Blockade, told Al Jazeera that Gaza’s economic statistics told the story of the territory’s economic crisis.
“These shocking and dangerous numbers require an urgent international intervention to work on two tracks,” al-Khudari said. “The first is to work to completely lift the blockade on the Gaza Strip, and the second is to work on directing urgent support to alleviate the tragic humanitarian situation.”
According to his organisation’s latest reports, direct and indirect losses due to the blockade on Gaza amounted to approximately $2bn in 2021.
Al-Khudari also added that the blockade threatens the food security of about 70 percent of families in Gaza, with about 300,000 workers unemployed, and 80 percent of factories closed.
“The world, with its governments, institutions, and all relevant authorities, is required to carry out a moral, humanitarian and legal action to save the situation in Gaza,” al-Khudari said. “Lifting the blockade on Gaza is the main gateway to overcoming the current serious crises, and this requires an international effort.”
“I’ve lost everything now”
Nael al-Ghazali finds it difficult to even walk past the location where his restaurant used to be.
The 48-year-old was forced to close it last year after nine years – he blames the Israeli blockade.
Al-Ghazali explained that, after the restaurant was badly damaged in an Israeli bombing in May 2021, he was unable to bear the financial losses.
“Opening a business in the Gaza Strip is a dangerous adventure,” al-Ghazali told Al Jazeera. “You don’t know where the problems will come from. There are blockade and equipment restrictions, there are power cuts that double the cost of production, and there are also Israeli wars that destroy everything in the blink of an eye.”
Al-Ghazali described the restaurant as “one of his biggest dreams”, making shutting it down even harder.
“It is like losing a son of yours. You raised it and worked hard, but the conditions in Gaza are impossible,” the father of four said.
But, despite selling his apartment, his car and another property he owned, he was unable to save his business.
“I’ve lost everything now,” al-Ghazali said. “I live in my brother’s apartment now; I lost my income and all my money.”
Al-Ghazali said there is no compensation or any attention to the huge economic losses in the Gaza Strip, and there are no projects to develop the moribund economic situation due to the Israeli blockade. | <urn:uuid:d4b0df56-0b1f-4603-b08d-dcbfa379641e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://1-e8259.azureedge.net/news/2022/6/24/impoverished-gaza-economy-struggles-under-israeli-blockade | 2024-04-24T03:48:30Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.970992 | 1,090 |
Boise Art In The Park Kicks Off Today
Having grown up in Nampa, "driving in" to Boise was always a treat. Until I was in high school at Bishop Kelly, I didn't have sports, friends, school, or really any other reason to head out to Boise, and neither did my parents.
If there is one event that I always remember my mom going to, and most years bringing me along to, it was Art in the Park. Each Fall, Julia Davis Park right here in Boise gets filled with art of all kinds--a large gathering of artists showing off their work. Art in the Park 2017 kicks off today and runs through Sunday. It's closed as of now, but tomorrow you can catch the art from 10:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. and Sunday, it shuts down at 5:00 p.m.
One thing I never knew about this event, however, was that it's actually a fundraiser-- the largest for The Boise Art Museum. It's a tradition that has been going for 63 years!
Not only is art for sale-- you'll be able to find food trucks and a beer garden, so there is certainly something for everyone.

In this article, we’re going to talk about the switch and router, and the difference between router and switch.
With the increasing number of desktop computers, notebooks and laptops at home, routers and switches are gradually becoming more widely known by people in order to enable these electronic devices to access the internet together. Since home routers and switches look very similar from the outside, many people don’t know the difference between routers and switches, and what they can do. So we’re going to look at the difference between router and switch in this article.
What Is A Switch?
A switch is a network device used for electrical (optical) signal forwarding, which can provide an exclusive electrical signal path for any two network nodes connected to the switch. The switch recognizes and completes the forwarding of Ethernet data frames based on the MAC (Media Access Control) address. Usually, the switches include Ethernet switches, telephone voice switches, fiber optic switches and so on.
How network switch works
Data sent from a computer is forwarded through devices such as hubs, switches, and routers to its final destination. The forwarding device will find the destination IP address based on the header information in the data packet. Then the forwarding device queries its internal forwarding rule table for the export path that the data needs to be forwarded.
Routers and switches play the role of couriers. No matter whether the data packets contain application data or TPC protocol control information, they will not affect the transmission operation of the packets. That is, when you access a website in a browser, no matter what information you send, it will be identified as a data packet in the switch, and all the packets are independent in the process of transmission to the destination and have no relationship with each other.
After the data packet passes through the hub, it will be broadcast to the entire network. A hub is equivalent to a splitter, which separates an entry into multiple exits. It does not determine which exit the data packet should flow out from based on its destination address. Instead the hub directly broadcasts data packet. That’s the downside of hubs, as this way can easily cause broadcast storms.
What is broadcast storm?
The broadcast storm is when broadcast data floods the entire network, causing devices to be unable to process it and occupying a large amount of network bandwidth. It will result in the inability of normal services to operate, or even complete paralysis. Since the hub only broadcasts the signal intactly, even if the signal is distorted by noise, it will be sent to the destination as it is. This way requires devices such as switches or routers to check and find errors, and then retransmit the lost packets. But it will lead to disadvantages such as low network transmission efficiency and large network delay.
Why are switches more efficient than hubs?
The design of the network switch is to forward the network packet to the destination intactly. When the signal reaches the network cable interface, it is received by the PHY (MAU) module. When the signal comes in from the twisted pair, it enters the receive part of the PHY (MAU) module. Next, the PHY (MAU) module converts the signal in the network cable into a common format. Then it passes the signal to the MAC module. The MAC module converts the signal into digital information, and then checks the error through the FCS at the end of the packet, and stores it in the buffer if there is no problem.
A port is composed of a network cable interface and the following circuit parts. That is to say, a port on a switch is equivalent to a network card on a computer. But switches work a little differently than network cards. The network card has a MAC address. It checks the MAC address of the recipient of the packets it receives to see if they are addressed to it, and discards them if they are not addressed to it. While the port of the switch does not check the MAC address of the recipient, but directly receives all the packets and puts them into a buffer. So the switch port does not have a MAC address.
After the switch deposits the data packet in the buffer, it needs to check whether the receiver’s MAC address is already in the MAC address table. The MAC address table contains two pieces of information. One is the MAC address of the device, and the other is which port the device is connected to on the switch.
If the receiver’s MAC address is not in the MAC address table, the switch will send a broadcast packet to query the MAC address, and the packet will be broadcast to each port. After the computer connected to the switch port receives the data packet, it drops the data packet if it confirms that the data is not its own. If it is then computer will respond with a packet to the switch. From which port the switch receives the response, it writes the port and the MAC address of the response into the MAC address table, thus recording a piece of data.
However, the switch has limited storage space. The MAC address will not be added to the address table indefinitely. When the device moves, or the port changes, the MAC address table also needs to be changed. The switch will automatically delete the MAC address records that have not been used for a period of time. In this way, the switch can automatically add and delete records for a long time. And it works properly without any special measures.
What Is A Router?
A router, also known as a gateway, professionally it is a device used to connect multiple logically separated networks. The logical network represents a single network or a subnet. When data is transferred from one subnet to another, it is done through the router’s routing capabilities.
Therefore, the router has the function of judging the network address and selecting the IP path. It can establish flexible connections in a multi-network interconnection environment. Also it can connect various subnets with completely different data packet and media access methods. The router only accepts information from the source station or other routers. So it is an interconnection device belonging to the network layer.
How network router works
We all know that computers can support wireless LAN by replacing the wireless network card, and so can routers, if the port module of the router is equipped with hardware that supports wireless LAN. In addition, the router not only supports wireless communication modules, but also broadband private lines such as ADSL and FTTH. As long as the port module is installed with hardware that supports these technologies.
After receiving the data packet, to determine the forwarding destination, the router will query in the routing table according to the IP address recorded in the IP header of the received packet. Then the forwarding module transfers the packet to the port corresponding to the forwarding target. Then the port sends the packet out according to the rules of the hardware. This means that the port module sends and receives network packets as the actual sender or receiver.
Taking an Ethernet port as an example, the port of a router is different from that of a switch. It has a MAC address, so it is able to be both a sender and a receiver of Ethernet. The port also has an IP address, in the sense that it is the same as a computer’s network card. When forwarding a packet, the router port will first receive the Ethernet packet sent to itself, and then query the forwarding destination, and then the corresponding port will act as the sender to send the Ethernet packet. Each port of the router has a MAC address and an IP address. So each can send and receive data packets as a normal computer.
The general idea of “lookup table to determine the forwarding destination” is similar for routers and switches. But the process is different. The switch uses the MAC address of the receiver in the MAC header to determine the forwarding destination. Whereas the router uses the IP address. Due to the different addresses used, the content of the table that records the forwarding destination will also be different. The switch forwards the data according to the MAC address table, while the router forwards the data according to the routing table.
The record of the routing table also has something called the subnet mask, which is only used to tell the router how many bits to match when matching a destination address. Through the above method, we can also write the address of a specific computer into the routing table with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.255. It means that all 32 bits in the address are 1. In this way, if all the bits of the host number are 0, it can represent a subnet, and if the bits of the host number are not all 0, it can represent a certain computer. Both cases can be handled by the same rules.
Another item in the routing table is the hop count (also the hop count). It indicates how many routers locate before the destination IP address. The smaller the number, the closer to the destination. The larger the number, the further away from the destination.
Another entry in the routing table is the hop count, which indicates how many routers are from the destination IP address. The smaller the number, the closer to the destination. The larger the number, the further away from the destination.
The Difference Between Router and Switch
Routers are created after switches, just like switches are created after hubs. So routers and switches are also connected to a certain extent, they are not two completely independent devices. The router mainly overcomes the deficiency that the switch cannot route and forward the data packets. Connecting the networks to each other requires the use of some intermediate devices, or relay systems. According to the level of the relay system, there are the following five relay systems.
- The physical layer (that is, layer 1) is a relay system, a repeater.
- The data link layer (ie the second layer, layer 2), ie the bridge.
- The network layer (the third layer, layer 3) is a relay system, a router.
- A mixture of bridge and router, the brouter combines the functions of a bridge and a router.
- The relay system above the network layer, the gateway.
When the relay system is a repeater, it is generally not called a network interconnection. Because it is just an expansion of a network, which is still a network. Therefore, the network interconnection generally refers to the network interconnected by switches and routers. The main differences between routers and switches are reflected in the following aspects.
1. They work at different layers
The original switch worked at the data link layer of the OSI/RM open architecture, which is the layer 2. The router is designed to work at the network layer of the OSI model from the very beginning. Since the switch works at the layer 2(data link layer) of OSI, it works in a simpler way. While the router works at the layer 3(network layer) of OSI, where more protocol information is available. So the router can make more intelligent forwarding decisions.
2. The data forwarding is based on different objects
The switch uses the physical address or MAC address to determine the destination address for forwarding data. The router uses the ID numbers (ie IP addresses) of different networks to determine the address for data forwarding. IP addresses are implemented in software and describe the network where the device is located. Sometimes these Layer 3 addresses are also called protocol addresses or network addresses. The MAC address is usually provided by the hardware, assigned by the network card manufacturer, and has been solidified into the network card. Generally speaking, it cannot be changed. The IP address is usually assigned automatically by the network administrator or the system.
3. Traditional switches can only partition conflict domains, not broadcast domains. Whereas routers can partition broadcast domains
The network segments connected by the switch still belong to the same broadcast domain, and the broadcast packets will be propagated on all network segments connected by the switch, which can lead to communication congestion and security holes in some cases. The network segments connected to the router are assigned different broadcast domains, and broadcast data does not pass through the router. Although switches above Layer 3 have VLAN capability and can also split broadcast domains, communication between sub-broadcast domains cannot be performed, and routers are still required for communication between them.
4. The router provides the service of the firewall
The router only forwards data packets with specific addresses, and does not transmit data packets that do not support routing protocols and unknown destination network data packets, thereby preventing broadcast storms. Switches are generally used for LAN-WAN connections. Switches belong to bridges and they are the devices at the data link layer. Some switches can also implement Layer 3 switching.
Routers are for WAN-WAN connections and can resolve the forwarding of packets between heterogeneous networks, acting at the network layer. They simply accept incoming packets from one line and forward them to the other. These two lines may belong to different networks and use different protocols. In comparison, routers are more powerful than switches, but they are also relatively slow and expensive. Layer 3 switches have both the wire-speed packet forwarding capability of switches and the good control functions of routers, so they are widely used.
Conclusion – The Difference Between Router and Switch
The above are some differences between switches and routers. In fact, although these two devices are different in functions, they often complement each other in application scenarios. The router is for home use. It is enough when there are few computers or mobile Internet devices in your home. There is absolutely no need to buy a switch. The switch is especially used when many devices need to access the Internet. For example, dozens of computers in a company need to access the Internet. With a switch you also need the routing device to access the external network.
Switches form a local area network, and routers form a wide area network. The router is used to connect to the external network, and the switch is used to connect to the internal network. That is to say, when the company has a lot of computers, it is necessary to use a switch to expand the local area network, only router is not enough at all. If it is for home, the router is enough for you to use to access network. | <urn:uuid:c12b226c-1af8-4f8a-9b18-d9aff74bdf40> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://10techpro.com/what-is-the-difference-between-router-and-switch/ | 2024-04-24T03:25:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.941441 | 2,917 |

19/99 When did you start doing makeup? How did you get into it?
Rachel Goodwin I started really young. I never had any other aspirations besides being a makeup artist. I discovered that it was an actual occupation when I was 15. When I graduated from high school I immediately started to look into ways that I could get into the industry. I was living in San Francisco at the time, and there really wasn’t much to speak of in terms of the industry in the Bay area. I started at the San Francisco Opera House, where the head of the Makeup Department taught me technique. So I started in theatre makeup and that translated into high fashion, avant-garde makeup. From there I did my first movie, Til Death Do Us Part. Since the movie was about a family of morticians and took place in a funeral home, I had to learn how to apply post mortem make up which was a whole other craft. Then in the 90s I started working at the MAC counter in downtown San Francisco. At that time MAC was new and it was a phenomenal brand that had such incredible ethics. I was a radical kid, really into the punk scene, did my own thing, had crazy hair and piercing. MAC was really embracing everybody and everything, and if you wanted to work at their counter, you could look any way you wanted to. So as wild as I looked, I could be paid really well, and be a part of this really inclusive company who believed in all of the same things I did at the time. I was at the height at the Russian Red and Twig phase, it was crazy fighting off the lines; it was like being a bouncer at a nightclub. It was really an incredible experience to be apart of that; the two Franks owned it at the time, who I think were really visionaries. Then I was invited to go to their concept store, MAC Pro in New York and that really changed my life. The store was all about MAC makeup artists working with other makeup artists to create the product they wanted for editorials, and shows. Basically any makeup artist in the industry would come and tell us what they needed, and we would create it for them. It was a really exciting time. Say Pat McGrath came in, and wanted a creamy yellow shadow for the Versace show, we’d work with her to make it, or say Linda Cantello would come in and tell us what she wanted for a show and we’d put a package together based on that. It was just for artists. So all we dealt with all day were the upper echelon of the artist world; I got introduced to every hero I ever had. It just transformed my life.
So that was the late 90s, and I ended up moving to LA in 2001; I had been coming out for jobs here and there and I was shocked that the makeup industry was not very well known at the time. I was out here and started getting booked a lot on music shoots. I was really into music; and at the time MTV was still really big and there were big budgets to create cool videos. I started working with Kim Bowen, she kind of plucked me up, on all of these music shoots. She wanted really avant-garde makeup – I worked with Bjork, No Doubt, Marilyn Manson and got to do these insane projects, over the top videos. I loved that work so so much. I got to do all that theatrical stuff which was really my vein of gold. When I was starting in San Francisco, I would do makeup at the S&M clubs and drag clubs down south of market; I got to do whatever I wanted, just expression. Anytime I could get into a room to create and paint, and do something radical, or something compelling or create a performance, I was there.
19/99 France is a love of yours; do you find notable differences between French & American approaches to makeup?
RG What I love about France in general is an unapologetic love for art, femininity and the role that beauty plays in a woman’s life. There is enjoyment there, there is pleasure there, and that is what I think American women miss out on – is the pleasure of it. And without the pleasure of it there is no skill that can come. It is really with the pleasure and enjoyment of it that you are doing it and practicing it that the skill comes. I can’t tell you how many interviews I’ve done where people are looking for hacks, and that is a very American approach; to really go the other way and try to get the results without being present in the process. I have never been about that and I feel like the French really understand that. When they eat something they take pleasure in it, they don’t wolf it down; there is a knowing and understanding of the joy in the act. And that is how I see beauty; the ritual is everything, being able to pass on the luxury that that is – the small window of time that you are present to putting on your makeup and taking it off. And French women get it right.
We’ve been told so many things that nobody knows what is right for them anymore. And that is the part that bothers me...It is important to recognize the individuality.
19/99 Can you take us through your daily beauty routine; morning & night?
RG I have two small kids and as soon as they came I understood why women want a 5 minute face. The thing is for me, is that the time I take to get ready sets me up to be a better mom, and sets me up in the right mental state for the day, because I feel better in my skin when I take that 10 or 15 minutes to do my makeup. In the morning after I get up and give the kids breakfast I will take that 10 minutes; my favorite thing to do right now is a mini facial massage. I’m obsessed with Victoria Beckham’s Cell Rejuvenating Power Serum she did with Augustinus Bader, so I will put that on and then use either the Jillian Dempsey tool, or I love this new Knesko roller, for about 5 minutes. Then I do my makeup which takes about 10 minutes. It is nothing complicated. I have this little alter I’ve set up to do my makeup at; with everything set out really beautifully, my brushes and products, I have pictures of things that matter to me that make me feel connected, I have things from my grandmother, things that make me feel uplifted. I have essential oils that I put on and take three deep breathes before I do my makeup so I am fully present. So even though it is a short amount of time, I am just there for it. And then I move on with my day and I feel like I can embody the best version of myself when I do that for myself.
19/99 I’ve definitely noticed a difference not getting ready in the morning during COVID and how that changes my whole day.
RG Totally, and sometimes you’re just not there and that is okay. What is important is to honor where you’re at and what is right for you. We’ve been told so many things that nobody knows what is right for them anymore. And that is the part that bothers me. I have been in a position for so many years where I could give advice to so many women, and I’ve always hesitated to be absolute because it is really an individual experience on what makes her feel great. For some it is just a lip, for others it is a full face, for other women they feel totally beautiful without anything and just want skincare. It is important to recognize the individuality. That is why I love what you guys are doing because I think it really stresses there is no right way, there is only what is right for you. And that is not great for selling products because people want to be told definitively what to do. And it is a really tough one because I realized, especially working at a makeup counter in my youth, that with makeup women often just want to be told, they don’t want questions, they want answers. And it is a really hard one because I have never subscribed to that belief.
19/99 Do you feel pressure to look a certain way?
RG I feel like I did when I was younger. It is funny I guess I do and I don't. I grew up in the late 70s and early 80s, and my earliest imprint of what I saw in the media was a lot of gender bending and wild stuff going on. There was David Bowie, Annie Lennox, and Boy George; every boy looked like a girl and girls looked like boys but it was not discussed in the way it is today. People weren’t talking about Boy George being gay, Boy George was a pop star and there was no mention of if he was gay or not. It was socially acceptable to look and express yourself however you wanted. I always thought that makeup was about finding out about different parts of your personality. For as long as I can remember I was just trying to express myself and I didn't’ really think about it as trying to look good – I wanted to people to know what I was feeling inside on and I expressed it on the outside with makeup. I was never thinking if a boy would like it or not, I just wanted to express how I felt. So thank goodness I didn’t come to ‘I should look a certain way’ in my youth. But I know a lot of girls do, especially with social media. There is a template for what beauty is now, and I escaped that somehow.
19/99 Yeah there now seems to be a strive for uniformity and constricted version of beauty that we are seeing.
RG Yeah, it bums me out. That is the hardest part of social media for me. I am so about expression and authenticity (I know that word is over used). I really love individuals and personal style. Witnessing the embrace of uniformity in beauty is so disappointing; I thought social media would have nurtured the opposite. But it actually has done the thing I thought it wouldn't do which is nurture this really limited version of beauty in a stringent way.
19/99 Does the term ‘Age Appropriate’ mean anything to you personally? What about in your work? Do you hear this from clients you work with?
RG I hate that. I hate age appropriate. I don't like the way that sounds. I don’t feel age appropriate – I probably seemed 90 when I was 12 and I’ve always embraced my old soul vibe. I’ve always felt like it was another way of making women feel like they had to be in a box about what they could express. And for me it is all about expression. I love those women who you see and they don’t give a fuck about whatever. Women who have crazy style, radical style, women like Tilda Swinton, who are completely lead by their whim and what feels right to them. Those are the kind of women that excite me. And you can see people saying of a woman a certain age, ‘oh is that appropriate?’, but who cares if you think it is appropriate or not, as long as I do. Hopefully that term will start to move. I think we are living longer, we have a different way of being in the world these days, and I don’t think age is going to be seen as much in the future.
I think a lot of women don’t know who they are, until their late 30s, and to all of a sudden have the most incredible time of your life taken out by ‘is that appropriate’ it’s like, ”Fuck you, who gets to tell me that?! I am feeling my absolute best and your going to tell me it’s not okay?” - no. When it comes down to it the obsession with youth in our culture comes to advertising because if brands can get young people to be loyal it will be more sales dollars. But really there is a whole group of women, and people in general, who are being completely ignored. And those are the people that have a critical mind, are thinking of different concepts, and have a sense of identity, and they are being ignored.
19/99 What makes you feel beautiful?
RG When I make someone happy, when I see that I have actually had an effect on someone that lights them up. Being with the people that I love, cooking for them, celebrating them. A Sunday night dinner with my family is when I feel most content and happiest.
19/99 Do you think there is a point where we stop growing and learning?
RG No. That saying ‘You can’t teach an old dog new tricks’ is such bullshit. You have neuroplasticity in your brain that can be rewired until the day you die. You can choose to not grow and evolve if that is your thing, but if you want to learn and grow you can. You can become someone who you don’t even recognize from the year before. That is what is so amazing about identity in general; you decide what your identity is and your life follows suit. You can decide you are this person today, and then you become that person. But if you just decide you are this person and you are never changing then that works too. My hope is that I am changing and growing till the day I die. My husband and I have been together for 26 years. I have been about 10 different people since we’ve been together and so has he; he isn’t the person I met and I’m not the person he met. When you look at your life in a linear fashion you look back and can think I am not the person I was last year, or, I’m sure, right now a lot of people are finding out they aren’t the person they were three months ago because of the crazy time we are in. So I think that change is your life force in motion. Hopefully you’ll always change till the day you leave this planet. | <urn:uuid:0e268266-8480-4ce7-8009-681b36ef879f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://1999beauty.com/blogs/conversations/rachel | 2024-04-24T02:11:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.986037 | 3,023 |

Topic: Dangers of Backsliding I
(Open Heaven 24 July 2020)
Memorise: And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God. – Luke 9:62
Read: 2 Peter 2:20-22 (KJV)
20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.
21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.
22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Bible in One Year: Isaiah 37-39
Open Heaven 24 July 2020 Friday MESSAGE:
Our God is a builder – He builds lives, and He has a plan for every single person here on earth. Jeremiah 29:11 says:
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”
The moment someone surrenders his life to Christ, He begins to build that fellow into something great. However, every time the fellow backslides, the building will be affected. I also like to use the analogy of a sculptor for this. A sculptor may decide to carve a lion out of a piece of wood but find it uncooperative, breaking easily, and thus decide to carve a cat from what is left of it. If at some point while sculpting, the piece of wood breaks again, the sculptor may then decide to make a rat with what is left of the wood. If the wood breaks yet such that it cannot be salvaged, sculptor could turn it to firewood.

Every time you backslide, you frustrate the ultimate plan of God for your life.
Each time a person falls out of the faith, they are just like that piece of wood that keeps breaking. When they get back on their feet, God may decide to continue with what is left, but believe me, except by divine mercy, they cannot be what He originally planned for them. God’s original plan for Samson was that he would deliver Israel out of the hands of the Philistines and then be their leader, but he didn’t fulfil destiny. Gehazi could have become a greater prophet than Elisha, but he ended up with leprosy. Backsliding can cost you your destiny; beware.
The main danger of backsliding is being thrown into hell fire. Some people get the chance to stand again after backsliding, but not everyone does. Judas Iscariot had been falling and rising while he was Jesus’ treasurer (John 12:6), but one day he fell and never had a chance to rise again. It is a disaster for anyone who has had an encounter with Christ to still end up in hell.
Open Heaven 24 July 2020 Friday Prayer Point:
Father, let me never do anything that can make me fall short of Your glory in the mighty name Jesus.
Open Heaven 24 July 2020 Friday Hymn 5: Deeper, Deeper In The Love Of Jesus

Daily let me go;
Higher, higher in the school of wisdom,
More of grace to know.
O deeper yet, I pray,
And higher ev’ry day,
And wiser, blessed Lord,
In Thy precious, holy Word.

Take me deeper still,
Till my life is wholly lost in Jesus,
And His perfect will. [Refrain]
3. Deeper, deeper! tho’ it cost hard trials,
Deeper let me go!
Rooted in the holy love of Jesus,
Let me fruitful grow. [Refrain]
4. Deeper, higher, ev’ry day in Jesus,
Till all conflict past,
Finds me conqu’ror, and in His own image
Perfected at last. [Refrain]
5. Deeper, deeper in the faith of Jesus,
Holy faith and true;
In His pow’r and soul exulting wisdom
Let me peace pursue.

Quality Ozempic injection online pharmacy Bangkok: Why Does Semaglutide Only Work for Some People? The unpredictability of semaglutide largely comes down to the way it works. Semaglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonist, which means absolutely nothing to most people. It’s not necessary to know what a glucagon–like peptide is in order to understand how semaglutide works, so it’s often shortened to GLP-1. The important part is that it’s a chemical your body naturally makes when your stomach is full and you need to stop eating. When GLP-1 is made, it attaches to a certain receptor, letting your body know it’s there and your stomach is full. It’s like checking to see if someone has parked their car in the garage to determine if they have arrived yet. Semaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist. A receptor agonist is a chemical that attaches to these spaces, even if it’s not supposed to. Semaglutide is the same shape as GLP-1, so it parks in the same space.

When you first start taking Ozempic, you might use the 2 mg/1.5 mL or 2 mg/3 mL pen. If you need a higher dose of Ozempic to help manage your blood sugar levels, your doctor might prescribe a higher strength. Each Ozempic pen comes with several needles. You’ll use a new needle each time you give yourself an injection. Ozempic pens are used multiple times, but you should never share a pen with another person. When you first start taking Ozempic, you’ll take 0.25 mg once weekly for 4 weeks. After this, you’ll take 0.5 mg once weekly for 4 weeks.
Top rated Ozempic injection online pharmacy Thailand: Guidelines by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) recommend using a GLP-1 agonist, such as Ozempic, in adults with type 2 diabetes who are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. In some cases, doctors may prescribe Ozempic off-label. This means prescribing a drug for a purpose other than what it’s been approved for by the FDA. Ozempic is not FDA-approved for treating type 1 diabetes and has not been studied in people with this condition. However, in some cases, Ozempic may be used off-label to treat type 1 diabetes.
Semaglutide lowers blood sugar levels and regulates insulin, which is crucial for people with Type 2 diabetes. The drug also imitates a hormone called glucagon-like peptide-1 that we naturally produce in our intestines, limiting appetite by signaling to our bodies that we feel full and prompting our stomachs to empty more slowly. As a result, people with obesity and accompanying health concerns have lost weight while taking it. People feel fuller faster, said Dr. Janice Jin Hwang, chief of the division of endocrinology and metabolism at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine. For patients taking the medication, “foods that used to be really exciting to them are no longer exciting,” she said. Some people report that their “food noise,” or ruminations about food, disappear after taking drugs like Ozempic. The medication has not been significantly studied in people without diabetes or excess weight. The medication can also reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease for people with diabetes, said Dr. Robert Gabbay, chief scientific and medical officer of the American Diabetes Association.
Ozempic comes as a liquid solution that’s given by subcutaneous injection. It contains the drug semaglutide, which belongs to a class of drugs called glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 agonists). Ozempic may be taken by itself or in combination with other diabetes medications. Ozempic comes as a pen that you can use to self-inject the medication. The pen comes in four strengths: 2 milligrams of semaglutide in 1.5 milliliters of solution (2 mg/1.5 mL); 2 mg/3 mL; 4 mg/3 mL; 8 mg/3 mL. Each pen delivers a different dose of Ozempic.
What Is Semaglutide? Wegovy, Ozempic, and Rybelsus are all brand names for semaglutide, a medication designed to alter your body’s chemistry to reduce appetite and support weight loss. Originally, semaglutide was developed to treat Type 2 diabetes. Semaglutide increases insulin secretion inside the body, so some people with diabetes don’t need to take as much (or any) insulin to manage their blood sugar. Semaglutide was first released onto the market in pill form under the brand name Rybelsus and was joined a couple of years later by the injectable form Ozempic.

Second Place – Residential
Touguinhó III House
Architect: Raulino Silva
Design Team: Photography: João Morgado
The strong slope of the topography of about 5 meters between the street and the top of the site defined the planning of the house in two floors, nevertheless it was sought that both floors had direct connection with the outside garden.
In the lower floor, which occupies half of the implantation, we have a porch that allows car parking but can also be used for other activities, like children’s parties. From this space, we have access to the laundry, to a toilet, a storage room, the technical area and to the atrium that allows access the upper floor through the stairs.
On the upper floor, we have three bedrooms faced south, one with dressing room and private bathroom, the other two have a shared bathroom. Both bathrooms have a private winter garden that allows its natural illumination and ventilation. In the posterior zone, oriented west, we have the office, the kitchen and the living room, which extend to the outside through the deck zone, connecting to the swimming pool area. In the East zone, we have the stairs and corridor with a book shelf as well as the toilet with an attached patio next to the living room.
About the house finishings, on the lower floor the walls and the flooring of the toilet and the laundry are covered with polished white marble panels. The outdoor black concrete flooring defines the house entrance and the shale gravel outlines the crawling vegetation areas. | <urn:uuid:18ddd9ec-7a4d-4cc1-bcc2-cbf343e4b296> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://2acaa.com/touguinho-iii-house/ | 2024-04-24T02:25:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.947486 | 314 |

September was another busy month for TikTok, Twitter, Instagram and more of our favourite social media platforms, with lots of fresh features being released and app improvements being launched. We always enjoy discovering how brands, businesses and everyday users can have better experiences online, so join us as we outline and review last month’s updates below.
Twitter users have been asking for an edit button for a long time (in fact, it might be the most requested social media update ever!), and it looks like the platform is finally ready to start trying out this feature, with an initial test taking place at the start of September. Edited tweets will include a note at the bottom saying that they have been edited, along with a timestamp of the latest edit, and users will be able to view the edit history by tapping on the pencil icon. The trial is initially being made available to Twitter’s internal team, before being expanded to Twitter Blue subscribers in the coming weeks.

this is a test to make sure the edit button works, we’ll let you know how it goes
Scaled-Back Shopping Tools on Instagram
There’s no denying the social commerce boom during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, which saw shoppers flocking to apps like TikTok and Instagram to make direct purchases - but as we approach the final few months of 2022, it seems that the trend has started to slow down slightly, with customers beginning to lose interest in shopping on social media. As a result of this, Instagram has started scaling back its in-stream shopping facilities and may be removing the Shop tab, according to tech magazine The Information. Instead, the platform is planning to focus its efforts on short-form video (Reels) and the advertising opportunities this brings.
Instagram Repost Tab
Speaking of Instagram - it’s also testing a new Repost option, which will enable users to re-share posts to their followers in the app, just like the Retweet button on Twitter. However, unlike retweets which show up on a Twitter user’s main page, mixed in with their own tweets, all of the posts a user has reposted on Instagram will be displayed on a separate Repost tab on their profile.
Instagram Reposts Tab on profiles?!

WhatsApp & LinkedIn Share Buttons on Twitter
In order to facilitate cross-platform content sharing, Twitter has begun testing some new buttons which will allow users to easily share their favourite tweets to other social media sites. The first one is a WhatsApp share button (currently only available for some users in India), and the second is a LinkedIn share button. Snapchat and Instagram Story sharing, which were previously only available on iOS, have also now been rolled out to Android users too.
some of you might see a WhatsApp Share icon and if you do, let us know what you think pic.twitter.com/Y23vWUPTs1

Community Chats on Messenger
Meta has introduced Community Chats on Messenger, which “let people connect more deeply with communities in real time around the topics they care about in multiple formats, including text, audio and video”. The feature seamlessly blends Messenger and Facebook Groups together, enabling Group admins to start conversations about specific topics and get quick responses instead of having to wait for members to comment on a post. And, rather than navigating multiple topics in a single Messenger group chat, the person who creates each Community Chat can organise them into categories so group members can easily find what’s most interesting to them.
In our August updates blog post, we mentioned emerging social app BeReal and its sudden influence on other social media platforms - and now TikTok has jumped on the bandwagon too, by announcing a new tool called TikTok Now, which is available in a separate app. The feature invites users and their friends to capture what they’re doing in the moment using their device’s front and back camera, sending out a daily prompt to capture a 10-second video or a static photo to easily share what they’re up to. Just like BeReal, the quick, impromptu nature of TikTok Now aims to boost authenticity and prevent users from feeling pressured to post airbrushed, polished content that has been planned and perfected in advance.

New Snapchat Features
Snapchat unveiled a range of new in-app features, including lock screen widgets which keep conversations with your friends saved to your phone’s lock screen so you can start chats with one simple tap; chat shortcuts which appear at the top of the chat tab to make it easier to keep an eye on your unopened snaps, chats and missed calls; and finally, question stickers for Stories, which are similar to the question box sticker available on Instagram Stories.
Additionally, Snapchat has decided to make its web-based platform available to all users. It was previously only accessible to Snapchat Plus users, but now anyone can use it without having to pay the monthly subscription fee of $3.99.
YouTube Shorts Comment Replies
YouTube has added a fresh way for creators to engage with their community via Shorts, with a new option to create a Shorts clip in response to a comment rather than just typing a standard reply. This could be a great way for creators to answer fan questions, take content requests and add a further level of interaction and collaboration between them and their viewers. From the watch page of your Short or standard video, simply tap Reply on a comment, then tap +Create a Short. It’s currently exclusive to iOS users, but will be rolled out to Android users too in the future.
Streamlined LinkedIn Inbox
In order to help users manage their LinkedIn inbox more effectively, the platform has begun testing a new inbox layout which automatically sorts messages into two categories: ‘Focused’, which is for important, valuable messages that require attention, and ‘Other’, which is for junk/spam messages that aren’t as urgent or can simply be deleted. Users can also easily move messages between the two tabs, and over time, the inbox will become smarter based on how it’s used.
Downvote TikTok Comments
It’s been in a test phase for a while, but now the ability to downvote TikTok video comments has been rolled out to all users. TikTok says the feature will enable moderators to “better identify irrelevant or inappropriate comments”, which will help the platform “foster a comment section for genuine and authentic interactions”. A thumbs down icon will be displayed on the right side of each comment, which users can tap if they think it needs to be flagged. Dislike counts won’t be public like they are on Reddit - instead, only the person who tapped the button will be able to see that they have done so. TikTok explained that this is to “avoid creating ill-feeling between community members or demoralise creators”.
🔔 New feature incoming. Earlier this year, we started to test a new way people could identify comments they believe to be irrelevant or inappropriate. After some testing, we're releasing it globally. 📲 Read on for 3 fast facts

Longer Instagram Stories
As part of the ongoing process of merging all its video tools into one, Instagram announced that Stories under 60 seconds in length will no longer be split into 15-second segments in the app, forming a seamless viewing experience and giving users more space for creativity. The integration of its video options (including the retirement of IGTV last year and the fact that all videos under 15 minutes are now automatically shared as Reels) aims to simplify the app, while also helping Instagram maximise user engagement by making all of its video formats available in more places.

WhatsApp Call Links
Following the arrival of group chat links on Messenger last month, a similar feature has been added to WhatsApp called Call Links, which enables users to share a link to invite others to join a group chat in the app. Dedicated URLs can be created for both video and audio chats. This update could help enhance community connections amongst casual chatters, while also making it easier and more direct for brands to contact customers, influencers and advocates - for example, they could start a chat to discuss an upcoming product launch or create an exclusive space for Top Fans.

New Video Tools on Twitter
Twitter has launched a couple of new tools to enhance the video viewing experience on the platform. Firstly, there’s a new immersive media viewer which expands videos to a portrait shape with a single tap, allowing users to easily watch videos in full-screen mode. From here, you can simply scroll up to start browsing through more videos - or, if you want to exit the viewer and go back to the original Tweet, just click the back arrow in the top left corner. Secondly, a video carousel called ‘Videos for you’ has been added to the Explore tab, meaning users can find more videos they might like alongside the recommended Tweets and trends that usually appear here.
Some of you on iOS and Android will also see recommended content in a new video carousel on the Explore "For You" page.

On Thursday, his children and wife took to Instagram to share their thoughts and memories of the “Crocodile Hunter”.
“Happy Birthday! Missing my Action Man,” Terri Irwin wrote, sharing a video of Steve doing all the things that made him famous — handling snakes, hanging out with crocs, and talking enthusiastically about wildlife.
“The greatest to ever do it, and he couldn’t have done it without you Terri!” one fan wrote.
“Don’t worry Terri. We all miss our hero ❤,” wrote another.
“The world misses him. What a legend. Thank you Terri and team Irwin for continuing his legacy,” added a third.
Across on Bindi’s Instagram, the 25-year-old noted the legacy he had left behind.
“Happy Birthday, Dad. Your legacy will live on forever,” she wrote, sharing a carousel of photos.
In one, Bindi and Steve pose with a kookaburra, while in another she sits in a washing basket as Terri and Steve hang clothes out on the line.
“What a beautiful legacy you and your family continue! Phenomenal!!♥️✨🙌✨♥️,” one follower wrote.
“Happy Birthday Steve! Such a great guy and pleased your family are carrying on your legacy ❤,” wrote another.
“A great legendary man that loved animals and caring of them,” added a third.
“A beautiful family he raised, missed and loved by lots.”
Perhaps most poignant was Robert Irwin’s post, in which he shared a video about his father’s love of a particular Honda motorbike.
The video contained photos and footage of Steve on his beloved bike, which Robert is now looking after.
“It’s a meaningful day to share this special story ... on Dad’s birthday,” Robert wrote.
“It makes me so proud that his legacy lives on.”
In the video, Robert explains his dad’s “long history” with motorbikes.
“When he got this Honda 100 it was his main mode of transportation around Australia Zoo,” he said.
“And for me and my sister, every morning we’d get on, hold onto the handlebars, Dad would take us around on the morning park checks and we’d get ice cream.
“Some of my fondest and earliest memories were on that bike and after Dad passed away the bike sat sitting for quite some time.
“But I got it back up and running recently and now it’s my job to get the motorbike started of a morning and do the same park checks around Australia Zoo.”
Robert added that every time he started the bike up, it brought back a flood of memories.
“Every time I get on that bike and ride the same route around Australia Zoo that he did, it means so much that this piece of machinery that he loved and used every day keeps on running,” he said.
“I take good care of it, but still take it off road every opportunity I get.
“I reckon Dad would have wanted that.”
Finally, Robert said he was grateful he still had so many connections to his father, even though he died when Robert was still a young boy.
“And just like he did, I’ll still often take it out to the Crocoseum,” he said.
“It was well known back in Dad’s day that you could always hear him before you could see him thanks to that motorbike, and these days the sound of the Honda engine still rings around Australia Zoo pretty much every day.”
Fans absolutely loved Robert’s heartfelt video and narrative, thanking him for sharing the story.
“Thank you for sharing these precious memories,” one follower wrote.
“Keep those wheels spinning around!”
“He’s a tough act to follow, Robert, but you’re killing it,” said another.
“Robert, I’m really glad that you’re carrying on your dad’s legacy,” noted a third.
“Watching this post made me smile and miss him too.
“I even had tears in my eyes. You’re a great person.”

Kirk Hammett Explains Why New Metallica Albums Take So Long – ‘I’ve Grown to Accept That’
Metallica released four albums in the '80s despite not starting until 1983, but things don't move as quickly for the band these days. In fact, after 1997's Reload the band has been averaging about six years between each new album. So why have things slowed down? Guitarist Kirk Hammett spoke on the subject during a recent interview with Goldmine magazine.
"Yeah, you know, it's not getting any quicker, too," remarked Hammett. "It's just like, we have a way of working. We have a process that unfortunately takes a long time. It's just the way we work, the way it is, the way it works as a band. And I've grown to accept that."
"You know, putting out [Hammett's solo effort] Portals is great for me because it kind of frees me up from that schedule," Kirk explained. "I can come up with a few tracks, record them and put them out, and I can do it on a completely different time schedule from the band. And that's great because it doesn't seem to get in the way of the band's schedule because, like I say, we move at our own pace."
The guitarist later spoke about the band's songwriting, explaining, "When I go in and create Metallica stuff, I give it my full creative energies. The way I look at it is, all the notes are already there. You just have to find them. I'm serious. They're already there. You just gotta friggin' find them. And so there's that but also a reliance on spontaneity, on real in-the-moment creation. I think that's where I'm most effective.:
He adds, "It's like, any time I sit down to try and compose something that should be spontaneous, it ends up sounding composed. There's nothing wrong with that, but I think catching yourself in a spontaneous moment is just much more exciting and much more honest. That might not make me sound like Eddie Van Halen, but that's beside the point. I really feel like I'm playing for the song when I play that way."
While there was talk of Metallica working on new music during the COVID lockdown period, the band has been rather quiet on discussion of their next studio album. Back in September 2021, Lars Ulrich downplayed the band's progress on a new album to SiriusXM host Eddie Trunk, stating, "We're engaged. And we are creating at some level. It's way too early to talk about a record or a timeline or anything. But we're staying busy. And it's exciting to just think of the possibilities. Right now we're so rejuvenated and just ready to get back in."
Metallica have remained pretty busy over the past year with their 40th anniversary concerts, more touring, their philanthropic efforts andHammett's Portals record, not to mention taking advantage of their recent Stranger Things bump in popularity. That said, it's been stated that they didn't view the next album as taking another eight years to make. | <urn:uuid:1ce14bf6-8749-4372-bbb5-b85216b8ebd1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://97rockonline.com/kirk-hammett-explains-why-new-metallica-albums-take-so-long/ | 2024-04-24T02:20:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.981443 | 670 |
Mental health experts, spiritual leaders, and educators all have developed a variety of meditation practices. The variety of forms of meditation suggests that each type of meditation specifically suit certain people’s lifestyle or personality.
All types of meditation can largely improve both emotional health and physical wellbeing. There is no prescribed “right way” of meditating. This means that you can freely explore the different types of meditation to find what works for you.
Main Types of Meditations
Point: Silently repeating a mantra with your eyes closed
This is one of the spiritual forms of meditation for heightening mindfulness and spiritual experiences. To meditate you need to sit still and breathe slowly. The primary goal of transcendental meditation is to rise above or transcend above your present state of being.
During a transcendental meditation session, you normally focus on a mantra, a series of words or a single repeated word. The mantra is determined by a teacher depending on a set of complex factors some of which include on the year he/she was trained and the year you were born.
Alternatively, a contemporary version allows you to choose your own mantra. This isn’t technically transcendental meditation even though its substantially similar. It can be used to alleviate certain fear an example is repeating “I am not afraid of closed spaces” while meditating.
Point: Be aware of the present moment
Mindfulness is crucial in almost all types of meditation. This type of meditation discourages people to dread the future or dwell on the past. It instead urges you as a practitioner to remain present and aware in the moment. The ultimate goal of mindfulness meditation is to encourage you to be aware of your existing surroundings. Lack of judgment is also crucial in mindfulness meditation. This form of meditation has been attributed to:
- Improved memory
- Improved focus
- Less fixation on negative emotions
- Improved satisfaction in relationships
- Reduced impulsive, emotional reactions
You can practice this type of meditation almost anywhere. Including while carrying out mundane tasks like waiting in line. Rather than being burdened by the wait or mundane nature of a situation, mindful meditation allows you to calmly notice sounds, sights and smells around you. You get to experience everything without judgment.
Point: Traditional practices with rules to follow
This is an ancient Buddhist meditation practice. This type of mediation means seeing things as they really are.
With vipassana mediation, you can establish a profound connection between your body and mind. To accomplish this, you need disciplined attention to the physical sensation in your body. The interconnectedness achieved through vipassana meditation leaves you with a balanced mind full of compassion and love.
Vipassana meditation also allows you to achieve self-transformation through self-observation. When practicing this type of meditation, you are expected to strictly follow preset rules. The rules include abstaining from stealing, intoxicants, telling lies, killing any species and sexual activity.
Point: Led by a guide or teacher
Guided meditation is also called visualization or guided imagery. During a guided meditation, you usually formulate mental situations or pictures that help to relax. As the name suggests during guided meditation you are typically guided by a teacher or guide. They will often suggest and encourage the use of as many senses as possible to evoke calmness in your relaxation state.
This type of meditation is perfect if you feel more comfortable with being lead through your meditation experience. You can practice guided meditation by listening to a recording, going to a meditation class or following verbal instruction. Guided meditation focuses on manifestation, abundance, physical well-being, and so many more themes.
Point: Similar to mindfulness meditation but requires some specific steps and postures
Zen meditation is also sometimes referred to as zazen. Most people practicing zen meditation need to study under a teacher. This is because it involves specific postures and steps. You need to find a relaxed position, center your focus on breathing and then mindfully observe your thoughts without judgment.
Lots of aspects of zen meditation are similar to mindfulness meditation. Nevertheless, zen meditation requires more practice and discipline. It’s perfect if you are seeking a new spiritual path and relaxation at the same time.
Point: Physically active form of meditation
Yoga involves a wide variety of styles and classes. Yoga meditation involves controlled breathing exercises and performing numerous postures. All of which are meant to calm the mind and promote flexibility. Yoga poses normally require high-level concentration and balance. When practicing this type of meditation, it’s important to stay in the moment and focus less on any distractions.
Third eye meditation is universal and the most common type of yoga meditation. Moreover, other popular yoga meditations include chakra, gazing (trataka), kundalini, kriya yoga, tantra and sound meditation (nada yoga). Your choice of yoga meditation depends on lots of factors. If you are new to yoga or suffer a health condition, consult with a doctor on which styles are okay for you.
Love kindness meditation
Point: Repeat the message about love and happiness many times
Also known as Metta meditation, this type of meditation concentrates on cultivating a love and kindness attitude towards everything. Including the things that trigger your stress and even your enemies. During meditation you need to breathe deeply and emphasis on opening your mind to receive loving-kindness. You then send messages of loving kindness to your loved ones, specific people or the world.
Loving-kindness meditation intends on promoting feelings of love and compassion for oneself and others. Therefore, increasing positive emotion. Those affected by resentment, anger, interpersonal conflict, and frustration can largely benefit from this type of meditation.
How to select the best type of meditation for you?
There is a meditation practice best suited to you. Trying out a variety of meditation styles suited to your specific goals is a seamless way to improve the quality of your life emotionally and mentally.
Whether you are looking to achieve spiritual enlightenment, flow through movement, find stillness or even reduce stress. Don’t be afraid to try the different types of meditation even when it forces you to step out of your comfort zone.
To find your perfect fit it takes a little or sometimes a lot of trial and error. Gentle and regular meditation practice eventually becomes an enjoyable, supportive and sustaining habit.
As a beginner meditation practitioner open yourself to unlimited possibilities. If one form of meditation isn’t comfortable or isn’t working for you be open to trying another one. | <urn:uuid:78cd52e5-99bd-4765-807c-d8789bf7f19b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://a-lifestyle.com/main-types-of-meditation/ | 2024-04-24T02:44:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.933118 | 1,332 |

Brandt's voles have an annual cycle of body weight and adiposity. These changes can be induced in the laboratory by manipulation of photoperiod. In the present study, male captive bred Brandt's voles aged 35 days were acclimated to a short day (SD) photoperiod (8L:16D) for 70 days. A subgroup of individuals (n=16) were implanted with transmitters to monitor physical activity and body temperature. They were then randomly allocated into long day (LD=16L:8D) (n=19: 8 with transmitters) and SD (n=18: 8 with transmitters) groups for an additional 70 days. We monitored aspects of energy balance, glucose and insulin tolerance (GTT and ITT), body composition and organ fat content after exposure to the different photoperiods. LD voles increased in weight for 35 days and then re-established stability at a higher level. At the end of the experiment LD exposed voles had greater white adipose tissue mass than SD voles (p=0.003). During weight gain they did not differ in their food intake or digestive efficiency. However, daily energy expenditure was significantly reduced in the LD compared to SD animals (ANCOVA: p<0.05) and there was a trend to reduced RMR (P=0.075). Physical activity levels were unchanged. Despite different levels of fat storage, the GTT and ITT responses of SD and LD voles were not significantly different, and these traits were not correlated to body fatness. Hence the photoperiod induced obesity was independent of disruptions to glucose homeostasis, indicating a potential adaptive decoupling of these states in evolutionary time. Fat content in both the liver and muscle showed no significant difference between LD and SD animals. How voles overcome the common negative aspects of fat storage may make them a useful model for understanding the phenomenon of 'healthy obesity'.

Nurses under the umbrella of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, NANNM, have protested against the management of the Federal Medical Centre, Idi Aba, Abeokuta, Ogun State, over what they call terrible working conditions.
The health workers, during their protest on Wednesday, said their members collapsed on duties over work overload and due to an unconducive work environment.
The nurses protested against a shortage of manpower and an alleged exclusion from the 2023 promotion carried out in the institution.
During their peaceful procession on the hospital premises, they insisted that stiffer actions would be taken if nothing was done to alleviate their many sufferings.
The aggrieved workers, singing solidarity songs, brandished placards bearing different messages such as “Stop Selective Promotion,” “Nurses Workload is Enough for Promotion,” and “Nurses’ Lives Matter,” among others.
recalls that the National President of NANNM, Michael Nnachi, recently lamented the loss of over 75,000 of their members to the outside world due to poor wages and an indecent working environment in the country.
Speaking for the protesters, the chairman of the FMC Abeokuta chapter of NANNM, Olufimilola Adekunle, said more than 200 nurses in the hospital have relocated abroad.
She added that less than 300 nurses are left in the institution to take care of hundreds of patients visiting the hospital daily.
Adekunle lamented that the nurses are exhausted and overworked due to the acute manpower shortage in the hospital | <urn:uuid:017f52d4-1496-47b5-833c-766c0d5052ec> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://abntvnetwork.com/were-dying-nurses-protest-in-ogun/ | 2024-04-24T03:52:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.964866 | 330 |

The Reserve levy is more like a savings account. A contingency fund for accruing funds that are long term projects, or projects that are at the end of their serviceable period; such as painting, lifts etc. This levy accrues over time alleviating the need for a specific purpose levy. Once the reform has been passed this reserve levy will be a holding account for your 5 – 10-year maintenance plans. | <urn:uuid:06971061-041c-4a2c-be9e-8293a9a038ff> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://abodestrata.helpjuice.com/en_US/144781-levies/what-is-the-reserve-levy | 2024-04-24T03:59:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.872882 | 202 |
Students from Robinvale P-12 have been given the chance to explore cultural identity in one of the most ethinically diverse communities in Victoria, and all through the process of making a film.
The group is made up of 9 students from Tongan and Aboriginal backgrounds, the idea being to give all students an opportunity to explore their identity and relationship to each other, while developing filmmaking skills.
The workshops are being facilitated by two Melbournians, Amie Batalibasi and Lia Pa’apa’a, who each have experience in community arts education and film production.
The Robinvale project comes off the back of similar workshops held in Melbourne in 2011, that resulted in the film series Pacific Stories, where members of the Melanesian community got to explore their own past and tell stories through film dealing with language, art and other areas surrounding cultural identity.
Now, the idea has been developed to incorporate the highly diverse border town of Robinvale, where 52 communities squeeze into a community built for just a few thousand people, a situation which has in the past brought about tensions between the communities.
Two short films, running up to ten minutes each, will be developed as part of the project, with each student taking part as crew members and learning different aspects of the production process.
“The idea of this project is that we are facilitating filmmaking skills, so that each participant will have the ability to go off and create their own films,” says Lia Pa’apa’a, one of the educators; but the workshops are not only about filmmaking.
“Not only have we been doing the filmmaking process, but we’ve been talking about identity and being able to show films around that; and what that means for Pacific Islanders living on Aboriginal land and for Aboriginal people having other people on their land.
“They’re up for learning and for listening and understanding that,” says Ms Pa’apa’a, who is quick to stress that the students are the ones leading this conversation.
“It’s always surprising how forthright they can be with their opinions”, she says.
Amie Batalabasi says she has been amazed at the eagerness which the students have shown to learn.
“We usually do our project over six months, one class every week; this has been four days of intense filmmaking.
“Lia and I as facilitators we’re feeding them all of this information and they’re just taking it in like sponges,” she says.
The project is auspiced by Robinvale Network House and has received funding from Arts Victoria and Swan Hill Rural City Council. | <urn:uuid:6d52f98c-1d62-4c8e-a42c-934d6d9c4969> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://aboriginalartdirectory.com/finding-harmony-through-film/ | 2024-04-24T03:57:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.974562 | 558 |

- Antioxidants – Raw organic cacao has an amazing ORAC score of 98,000 per 100g, vs blueberries at a mere 2,400. ORAC scores measure the ability of antioxidants to absorb free radicals.
- Highest Plant-Based Source of Iron – Cacao is the highest plant-based source of iron known to man, at 7.3mg per 100g. This compares to beef and lamb at 2.5mg, and spinach at 3.6mg. Iron deficiency is common in the 6 months to 3-year-olds.
- Source of Magnesium – Raw organic cacao is one of the highest plant-based sources of magnesium. Magnesium is important for a healthy heart helping convert glucose into energy enabling your child’s brain to work with laser-sharp clarity and focus.
- Tryptophan to help sleep- Tryptophan is the amino acid helping you get to sleep and stay asleep. Combined with low glycemic index carbohydrates it converts to melatonin in the brain. It takes just one hour for tryptophan to teach the brain and trigger sleep.
- More Calcium Than Cow’s Milk- Raw Organic Cacao has more calcium than cow’s milk, at 160 mg per 100g vs only 125 mg per 100ml of milk.
- A Natural Mood Elevator – Cacao contains– serotonin, tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylethylamine. These neurotransmitters are associated with feelings of well-being, happiness, and can even alleviate depression.
- CAFFEINE: occurs naturally in foods, such as coffee, tea, herbs and cacao related products.
However according to Food Legislation, the only products that have to have a mandatory statement for caffeine are the ones containing guarana or any other type of caffeine extract. Therefore cacao or chocolate related products do not have any caffeine declaration on the label.
Our products with cacao powder will contain residual levels of caffeine, however they have not been measured. It is the same as any other chocolate product (example chocolate bars)
- It is high in protein, B vitamins, iron, selenium, zinc and potassium.
- It contains prebiotics like beta glucan, for gut and immune health.
- And compounds called nucleotides which have recently been associated with increased energy and endurance.
- It contains Glucose Tolerance Factor which assists blood sugar management.
- Brewers Yeast may also help increase milk production when you are lactating.
- This is a natural sugar from the coconut palm.
- Coconut Sugar has higher levels of zinc, iron and calcium than granulated sugar.
- It also has trace amounts of phytonutrients and antioxidants.
- And some Inulin – a prebiotic which feeds healthy bacteria and slows glucose absorption.
HYDROLYSED COLLAGEN PEPTIDES
- Collagen is one of the most abundant proteins in the body. In fact, collagen is “the main structural protein that forms the connective tissue throughout our body, from skin to bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments
- Collagen peptides are rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline which allow for optimal maintenance and repair of tissues. This is so important after childbirth. The birthing process usually needs 6 weeks of repair and healing, but that will be more where there has been a caesarian birth, or episiotomy or tears etc. Adequate protein for this repair process can make a big difference both to the rate of healing and the final result.
- Collagen peptides also provide an energy source – always helpful for breastfeeding mothers.

Pat Rothfuss Fans Should Thank Me
Yesterday Patrick Rothfuss, author of the hugely successful The Name of the Wind (and I do mean HUGELY successful), was kind enough to blog about me. Seems he had some misconceptions about ole' Dave at the start, but was pleasantly surprised by the real thing... If you want to know why his fans owe me a debt of gratitude, take a look. Here's the post. He's a funny guy. Be ready to chuckle. Labels: Acacia, Links, Other Authors, Patrick Rothfuss
Day After Launch Day...
... feels a lot like launch day, which felt a lot like the day before... Anyway, I'm about to head off to "teach". Before I do, I can't help mentioning that the excellent John Scalzi was kind enough to mention Acacia over at Whatever, in his Book Haul post. I'm sure we all know that Mr. Scalzi is a highly intelligent man, with refined tastes. See here, for example, his comments on Acacia: "Durham's very excellent fantasy debut, now in convenient paperback form. I'm a big fan of this book, so check it out if you haven't done so already." Oh, he mentions some other books also... ;) Labels: Acacia, Links, Other Authors
Another Launch Day
So, this is it. August 26th. Acacia, the paperback, will pop up like a fungus on bookshelves across the nation. At least, I'm hoping it will. (And anchor is hoping it will, since they printed enough copies of the thing to cause considerable contamination.) So, you may be wondering, what changes for David on this momentous day? Well, I may answer, not much. Naw. Pretty much a regular day. I taught my first session of one class last night. I'll be getting ready for the first of my other class meetings on Wednesday. Also writing a bit of The Other Lands, spending a little time online. I've got a doctor's appointment in there somewhere. Need to take some dvds back to Blockbuster and a few books back to the library. I'll have to throw something together for dinner for the family, probably watch a bit of the Democratic Convention later. Read before bed, and then get up and do most of it over again. Yes, I will check Amazon a few times as well. I probably won't get out to Borders or B&N today, though. I did that on the day that Gabriel's Story came out back in 2001. It was a surprisingly muted experience. Yes, my book was there on the new release shelf, but damn, there were so many other books in that place! Needle in a haystack, it felt like, and I was there hoping people were going to get pricked. That was, of course, a first novel. Things are different now. In some ways. Just the same in others. But still, my life goes on quite normally. Things to do. Books to write. Donuts to make. This is a good thing, really. On another note, Fantasy Book Critic is doing a giveaway. He's got five copies of the paperback to doll out to folks. Click over and sign up for one. (And if you win one, please consider buying another copy, just to like balance the karmic scales and all that.) Labels: Acacia, Contests, Links
Apparently, Facebook deleted Vintage-related pages recently. So it's look likes anyone that joined my Facebook, um... fan page... is no longer a, well... a fan. So, if you're interested in reaffirming your fandom, please visit again! All sorts of good things will come from it, I'm sure. Not sure what sort of things, but I have faith. I think this link will take you to right place.By the way, did I mention that Acacia goes on sale in paper tomorrow? Well, it does! Labels: Acacia, Links
Just An Update
Hi, folks. I've not been blogging a ton the last couple of weeks. Had a lot going on. Some of it was some family stuff that's taken a good deal of time and energy. I've also been preparing - mostly mentally, really - for beginning of the new academic year. I'll be teaching two classes, an undergrad Beginning Fiction Writing course and a Graduate Writing Workshop. Not a bad schedule, really, but it's a readjustment. Oh, the third thing that's been taking up a lot of my time, of course, is The Other Lands. I was trying to get as much of it done before the school year began as I could. I didn't make it all the way to the end, but I'm pretty happy with where I ended up. Not done yet, but the end is in sight. I've got all the story before me. I know all the scenes that are yet to be written. I know exactly how each narrative thread ends. (Suspect cliffhangers. It is a middle volume, you know.) It's one of the funny things about writing novels that the process often requires living with uncertainty for years. I've had that with this one, as I've had it with each of my longer books. For example, even up until a few days ago there were... um... "problems" ahead of me in this book. Spaces that were blank. Storylines that seemed to dead end. Plot moves that I knew I had to make but wasn't sure how I was going to make them. It's kinda crazy if you think about it too much. Like - "David, you've been working on this book for how long? How could you not know by now how you were going to handle what happens when $%^& finds out about *(&)%? That's crazy!" But that's part of the process. Those plot elements and connections and character growth and the surprises can't all by mapped out ahead of time. Some of them have to be lived - by the author as well as by the characters. What I'm saying, though, is a good thing. The end of The Other Lands is firmly in my sights. I have to work toward it while I'm also doing some other stuff, (You know - LIFE!) but I will be at the end soon. I will get this to my publisher and (barring something unforeseen - like my editor hating how I finished) I'm confident this book can make the pub date that we've had in mind for a while now, which essentially is a year from now. And, just so you know, I'll be at work on the third book immediately, no delay in getting the engine revving between two and three. This is mainly because the narrative really does flow right into the next book. I'd like to say I'm finished with The Other Lands one day and start work on &%^$# the next day. So that's my plan. BTW, don't forget that Acacia: The War With the Mein hits in paperback form in two days! August 26th is the release date. It's mass market, you know, perfectly priced for these difficult economic times... Labels: Acacia, Creative Process, Random Ruminations
Interview with Dave Brendon is Up
Hey folks. Just writing to make sure that everyone knows Tobias Buckell's new novel, Sly Mongoose, blazes into the world today. I've mentioned Toby before, since I think he's both a great guy to hang out with and also a very slick writer. His novels Crystal Rain and Ragamuffin are both top notch, fast, well-crafted, action-oriented sci-fi. I expect more of the same from Sly Mongoose. I've had a galley of it for a few months, but, through no fault of my own, I've been unable to crack it open yet. I will, though. I will. I'd like to enjoy it, though, instead of feeling like I'm cramming it in between the host of other unmentionable things that demand my time. Don't trust old Dave's opinion on Mr. Buckell? Well how about Publishers Weekly? Here's what they had to say: Buckell returns to the universe of Crystal Rain (2006) and Ragamuffin ( 2007) for another action-packed story of human colonists fighting to survive on an alien world with all the odds against them. The story bounces between two protagonists: teenage Timas, one of the few inhabitants of the floating spherical city of Yatapek who can maintain the enormous mining machine that harvests ore from the furnace-hot surface of Venus-like Chilo, and Pepper, aka Juan Smith, an elite Ragamuffin soldier from New Anegada who'd prefer to forget about his violent past. As the only survivor of a ship infected with a virus that turns people into murderous zombie slaves of the alien Swarm, the last thing Pepper wants is another fight, but with the Swarm making inroads on Chilo, he has little choice. Buckell delivers double helpings of action and violence in a plot-driven story worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster.There's plenty more about Toby here at his website: Tobias Buckell Online.Labels: Links, Other Authors
davebrendon's fantasy & SciFi Weblog
Dave Brendon, a bookseller and blogger from South Africa, has posted a lovely review of Acacia on his blog. He's the SciFi and Fantasy specialist at Fascination Books, which appears to be a chain with stores all over South Africa. Cool. Also very nice that he liked the book so much! Dave has been in contact with me, actually, and I'll be answering a few interview questions for him shortly. Great to think I'm getting some attention way down south in Africa. If you have any desire to buy your books in Rands, now you know where to go! Labels: Acacia, Interviews, Links
I'd Take That Action
(Bear in mind, please, that I don't have a vendetta against spiders in general. I know they do much good in the world. But... this is personal, baby.) If you said, "David, I'll bet you a negihamichi roll that you can't kill ten black widow spiders within the confines of the half acre or so of your house this very evening..." I'd say, "I'll take that action. Start toasting the maki, my friend." I'd say, "You're on, baby, and I won't even include the one I smashed in the garage earlier, or the two I squished on the walkway to my back office." And then I'd say, "Yeah, but those three cheeky buggers hiding in the bushes beside the front steps... they're fair game. Sweetness. They're going down..." Am I disturbed?... Another August evening in Fresno, CA... Who needs reality TV? (I'd include pictures, but I've had enough of seeing these things. Honestly... yesterday, I dragged one of our kayaks from the side of the house. Figured I'd plop it in the pool and see if I could still hand roll. How many black widows had made it a home? Four. Four! It was a six foot, bright red plastic spider condo. Two had egg sacks. Planning for the future, I guess.) Labels: Fresno Baby, Random Ruminations
If Only Jeff VanderMeer Were A World Fantasy Judge This Year...
If he was, maybe I'd have made the list of finalists for best novel. But he's not, and I didn't. (Sad face.) I learned this news via his Omnivoracious Amazon Blog, from his post: World Fantasy Award Finalists Announced-- Gone Trad? Click over and read his thoughts on it. Spontaneous Derivation also mentions me as a finalist pick: A Quick Note of the 2008 World Fantasy Awards. Thanks for that. (It's funny, as well, because that post features Kindle content/subjects, and links to the Kindle version of Acacia. Hi Arachne Jericho.) And Yendi had a few words on the subject: World Fantasy Awards. Thanks to all of them for the kind mentions, and for placing me in the rather grand company of some of the others that didn't make the list. (Think Patrick Rothfuss, Dan Simmons, Ekaterina Sedia, Scott Lynch, Nalo Hopkinson, Daniel Abraham, John Crowley, Paul Park for example.) We should all get together and have a party at the Convention. Don't get me wrong, though. I've nothing against the folks that are nominated. Actually... I haven't read any of the books in question. A couple of them I didn't even notice coming out, which is strange because I was looking. It's possible that I'll find a new favorite author from this list - and that's one of the things that awards are really about. (They can also be a kick in the pants that helps get my nose back into The Other Lands. There are books to be written!) Here's the full list from the Locus website.See any of your favorites there?

Kindles? Anybody Out There Using Them?
(I'm actually away from the internet for a few days, but I set this up to post in my absence. So if you write me and I don't respond it's just because I'm away for a bit. Be back soon!) I guess somebody is buying them, considering that all of my books have a Kindle sales ranking on Amazon, but this bit of technology is hard for me to get my head around. I, admittedly, have hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of books. They're more important to me than any other household item, honestly. But is my favorite medium for the consumption of stories (by which I mean the stuff of life) on its way to obscurity? I came across this post on the subject by a former student of mine, Allison Hartman Adams. Found it quite amusing: Prick Your Finger on the Kindle Spindle. So, anybody out there with one of these?

Denvention Not Happening For Me
I'm sad to say I'm not going to be going to WorldCon this year. I'm bummed about it, but some familial stuff has come up that I simply have to deal with. Family first. So this time I'll be missing out on the fun. I have tapped a friend to be on hand at the Hugo ceremony. On the very off chance that I'm the person called up for the John W. Campbell Award there will be somebody there to pick it up for me and to say a few over emotional words. If you're going, have a great time! Me...

Soon To Be On Airport Shelves All Across The Country
Hey, so I've had a busy week. Yesterday I got another box in the mail, this one with the mass market paperbacks of Acacia in them! Again, I'm very happy with it. It's chunky, but Anchor still pushed for a quality feel to it. The lettering is all shiny and cool, and I like the way they slapped the John W Campbell Award Finalist Emblem on it. I'm imagining this one on airport bookshelves all over the country... The scary thing (for me) is that this is the last page of the book... You'll note that in the lower right hand corner there's a projected pub date. It's says "Summer 2...." Oops, I guess I blocked that part accidentally. Anyway... This book (the first one) will definitely be on shelves at the end of August, the 26th to be exact. Labels: Acacia, Acacia 2, Covers
A Little Italian Action
Will it get annoying if I keep mentioning nice things that are happening to me? I don't want to overdo it, so let me know if I start to get on your nerves. I'll keep it to myself then. (Or give you a bit more info on the things that AREN'T going right. There's plenty of that, too! It's just not quite as much fun to talk about.) Anyway, my heart is a twitter today because I just received my copies of the Italian version of Acacia - I Ribelli del Mondo Oscuro! I think it's kinda lovely. It's very different than the other covers. Kinda brooding, not a person or strange beast or scraggly tree to be seen. What do you think? It appears that this version has actually rolled out in that lovely country. I know this mainly because I've started to get Google alerts about it in Italian! I got two in the last few days, for example. One of them took me here: fantasy.blogosfere.it. The other one was here: FantasyMagazine. Nice as well, although they used the photo of me from last year's World Fantasy. Overdressed and overheated and too smiley... Oh, well, though, that's me. I noticed that there was a comment up already. Scanning it I noticed the word "tortura". Uhoh... Might this mean someone found the book a "torture"? "Ce l'ho ma ancora non l'ho letto! Aspetterò l'uscita del secondo volume, altrimenti - se la storia mi cattura - sarà una tortura aspettare!"And with an exclamation point, no less! Although, there's also something in there about the "secondo volume"... Okay, time to call of free internet translation technology... Babel Fish made a complete mess of it, but SDL came up with this... "There I have it but still I did not read it! I will wait for the exit of the second volume, otherwise - if the story captures myself - will be a torture to wait for!"Ah, okay. That I like. It's a reminder that the book was split in two for the Italian publication. This kind person, it seems, has picked up the first volume but is waiting for the second to come out before he starts reading. Nice of him. Makes me hope the story does capture him and is worth the wait. Also makes me very curious about how this first volume will be received. For those of you that have read the book, imagine if it stopped right in the middle, while Aliver was still with his rock-shaped friends in the Far South. Hmm... There's an awful lot left to go...

Rumi: Why show about the Sufi mystic could be Turkish television's next Ertugrul
Since 2015, TV producers in Turkey have been fixated on one goal: creating a show that will outperform Dirilis: Ertugrul (Ertugrul: Resurrection), about the trials and tribulations of the eponymous Ertugrul, father of Osman, the founder of the Ottoman Empire.
Ertugrul was a sensation in the Arab world and Pakistan, and amongst British Muslims, as evidenced by Ertugrul-themed restaurants in the UK and sales of traditional Turkic Alp hats, which are worn by its characters.
The poet and Islamic scholar is famous for his devotional poetry about divine love, which has earned him esteem in the Islamic world as well as the West, where his verses have sometimes been stripped of their religious undertones by artists and singers.
The new series, named Rumi, has much to compete with. Each episode of Ertugrul - there are hundreds - gets millions of views on YouTube, and at the time of publication, the Tabii Urdu channel alone, which is owned by TRT and publishes the episodes on the platform, had accumulated more than 8.7 billion views.
Few could have predicted Ertugrul's success in the Muslim world, particularly outside of Turkey. If there were one lesson Turkish producers have learnt, it is that there is a hunger for historical biopics amongst foreign Muslim audiences.
A spin-off series about Ertugrul's son, Osman, followed the original in 2019, as did one on the last major Ottoman sultan, Abdulhamid II, plus a biopic series about the Barbarossa brothers, the Ottoman corsairs, who controlled parts of the Mediterranean in the 16th century.
The last of these, Barbaros: Sword of the Mediterranean, starred Ertugrul actor, Engin Altan Duzyatan, as Oruc Reis, also known in the West as Redbeard.
While its successor shows racked up millions of views per episode, they weren't able to duplicate anything close to Ertugrul's viewership. So a lot is riding on the potential success of Rumi.
Written by screenwriters Ali Aydin and Milay Enzingen, directed by Can Olcay and produced by Keri̇m Ayyildiz; the starring role will be taken by Bulent Inal, who played Abdulhamid II in The Last Emperor.
Who was Rumi?
The main thrust of the story follows Rumi after he flees his native Central Asia, following the Mongol invasion. Born to a Persian-speaking family in Afghanistan in 1207, he later lived in what is today Iraq, Syria, and Turkey.
Rumi trained in religion at a young age, specialising in the Hanafi school of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence, and settled in the city of Konya in southern Anatolia, where his tomb is located today and is a major tourist attraction.
It is for his poetry that Rumi is most celebrated today, and he is widely considered amongst the greatest Persian language poets. It is difficult to understate Rumi's impact on Persian literature without hyperbole, given his influence on renowned poets such as Hafez and Saadi.
His poetic themes span various topics but his most well-known verses deal with the nature of god and the transcendence of divine love.
Rumi's collections have also influenced Turkish and South Asian literature and are read in their original languages - which include Persian, Arabic, Turkish and Greek - as well as in translations.
His most famous work is the Masnavi-e Manavi (Spiritual Couplets), which is composed of around 25,000 couplets that deal largely with religious issues - outward legalism derived from orthodox Islamic theology, but also Sufi wisdom, which focused on the inward contemplation of God.
Typifying the theme, a famous couplet from Masnavi reads:
"Come, seek, for search is the foundation of fortune:
every success depends upon focusing the heart."
The scholar and poet worked on his magnum opus until his death in Konya in 1273, but the book would become part of the canon of Sufi poetry for centuries to come.
One principle theme in the Sufi poetic tradition to which Rumi belonged was the overcoming of the "nafs" (the self). In Islamic theology, nafs roughly corresponds to the psychoanalytical use of the word "ego" and represents an aspect of the mind that is responsible for worldly desire and the drive for material power.
In Sufism and other Islamic mystic traditions, a Muslim's aim in life is to overcome this base aspect of the self, so that the true self or "ruh" (spirit) can connect with its creator, or God.
The love Rumi and other Sufis spoke about is a result of this union and is therefore distinct from romantic love. Nevertheless, Sufis believe divine love opens the doors for true love of all types, including between friends, as well as the romantic kind between a husband and wife.
Translations of Rumi's poetry have gained popularity in the West, although there is controversy over the way some artists have stripped back or downplayed the religious connotations of the original texts, and applied them exclusively to the concept of romantic love.
Later Western writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson and Rainer Maria Rilke are believed to have been influenced by Rumi's poems based on the common theme found in their works of looking for the divine within one's self.
Will it be the next Ertugrul?
It's clear that the producers of Rumi want to focus on the spiritual dimension of the great poet's life.
A trailer on the Tabii channel opens with Rumi amongst other Sufis, practicing a dhikr, which involves repeating the Islamic declaration of faith - that "there is no God but God".
One character is heard telling Rumi to "dive into the ocean", a common allegory within Sufism for the pursuit of divine knowledge.
He continues: "Two big challenges lie ahead, each bigger than the other; one in the earthly life, the other in the spiritual realm."
Rumi then learns that his material challenge is the threat the Mongols pose and the spiritual challenge is his own voyage of self-discovery.
The inclusion of the Mongols seems to be a plot device, given that they did not play a major role in Rumi's personal life after he left Central Asia.
Their presence, however, does provide an opportunity for the kind of epic battle scenes that helped win Ertugrul its huge fan base. Indeed, Rumi has its own - the trailer for the second episode depicts the Sultanate of Rum's defence against Mongol hordes in the city of Erzurum.
The mix of Islamic ideals and high-octane action in Ertugrul struck a chord with Muslim audiences, which have for decades been exposed to negative western depictions of their culture.
In a previous Middle East Eye article about the success of Ertugrul in the Islamic world and beyond, Riyaad Minty, director of digital at TRT, summarised the sentiment:
"The fact that it’s been able to resonate beyond just the Muslim world shows that, given the opportunity to tell our own stories, we will find that we as humanity have much more in common than we think," he said.
Therein lies the significance of Rumi and other shows that followed the success of Ertugrul: they are stories about Islamic figures told by people who know and value those personalities as their own. | <urn:uuid:ce08c987-de8c-4054-b334-dfa03bb1b739> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://acquiaprod.middleeasteye.net/discover/turkey-rumi-tv-series-ertugrul-success | 2024-04-24T02:28:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.973063 | 1,621 |

An SGP+ or SGPx just combines a same game parlay with another single bet, parlay or even another SGP. It’s really just one giant parlay, with at least one of the legs as an SGP.
Explaining a Same Game Parlay
First, a same-game parlay is when you combine multiple bets from one game. The odds increase as you add more options, making it harder to hit but more lucrative if it does. Bettors must hit every leg of a same-game parlay to earn the full payout. They won’t earn any money if five legs hit and one doesn’t.
Markets like the spread, moneyline, and point total are the popular for an SGP, but player props are becoming a bigger and bigger part of the ecosystem. However, sportsbooks don’t allow you to put every prop into the same game parlay. Bettors can view their options when they select “SGP” for any game.
SGP+ and SGPx Explained
FanDuel was the first to launch the same game parlay, and they proudly boast the SGP+. DraftKings is behind the SGPx. Other sportsbooks offer similar products with similar names.
FanDuel is one of the premier sportsbooks for same-game parlays.
Users can click on a sporting event and scroll to the “same game parlay” tab. From there, they’ll see all the options that can be combined into a same game parlay.
From there, you simply create multiple parlays to build the SGP+, and FanDuel will build it into the bottom of the bet slip.
The SGPx is what DraftKings calls this feature. Bettors can access this feature by selecting a sporting event and clicking the “SGP” bar above the odds for said game.
The execution is slightly different at DraftKings. You need to enter each game, create an SGP, and then add it to your bet slip. Then you’ll go to another game, create an SGP, and add it to your bet slip.
Tips For Building SGP+ / SGPx
What are the best strategies for building an SGP+ or SGPx? Let’s check out a few tips that should help you win money.
There’s plenty of strategy behind building an SGP. You have to look at various factors beyond one player being on a hot streak.
If you have an NFL matchup where the point total is north of 50, it’ll likely be a high-scoring game. That’s an excellent opportunity to take the over on passing yards and receiving yards for the WR1.
Building off that, if there’s a strong pitcher’s duel, you may want to take the under on most hitting props while betting the over for strikeouts.
Bet On One Player To Have A Big Game
This can serve as an extension to our last SGP+ or SGPx tip, but backing one player to have a massive game could be key to hitting the SGP.
This tip could also go the other way if you think a player will struggle. Take the under on his props
Don't Be Afraid To Use Alternate Lines
DraftKings and FanDuel boast alternate lines that can be used for the spread, point total, and player props. These can be used on SGP+ and SGPx in two ways.
If you want to go on the safe side, you could combine multiple props with -300 odds to form an SGP with +100 odds. If you’re feeling really confident, you could take an alternate line or two with +200 odds. You could even combine the markets to give your SGP+ or SGPx value.
It’s literally an alternative way to approach your parlay.

The brave choice in following a passion takes a lot of guile. When you have chosen to become a professional Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter, there’s going to be many roadblocks in your way. First off, the critics will always doubt you. Everyone that surrounds you will think you’re crazy. Secondly, this is the most grueling sport in the world. Lastly, the chance of failure is WAY high. But if you have fortitude and determination, then you can’t look back. Those are two pillars of success that will push you further than you think.
But if there’s hesitation, then it’s normal. Of course you will need skill to start. There’s also a few baby steps that you will need to succeed at first and here’s a quick guide to getting past those hurdles to succeed.
Remain Mentally Tough, Emotionally Sound
The first and foremost challenge one you are in the ring or the octagon (if you are planning to become a UFC fighter). All the drives a fighter resides from within. You have heard the cliche slogan: “Heart of the Champion”. Or you may have listened to the cliche motivational song: “The Eye of the Tiger”. As cheesy as it may sound, they are true. A MMA fighter needs heart and tenacity when training and competing. There’re going to be moments (and plenty of them) when you are exhausted and want to just quit. There’re going to be times when you are hurt that you want to run away from the sport. At the end, these are just mental hurdles that you will face. Once you get past the fears of competing or training, the rest is gravy. Sporting News once stated what famed wrestling coach Daniel Cormier tells his competitors to “Embrace the grind”.
The Stronger, The Better
Now you need to understand that you will be hurt. There’s no “ifs” here. You will be hurt at some point during your career. It will vary from minor to major — think about the torn ligaments and broken arms because they are extremely common. But you can’t escape that. Again, once you train yourself to be physical tough, then you will succeed for the long term. Depending on your age, your body will take its toll from the constant training and fighting. As you take your baby steps in the MMA realm, you must recognize your physicality. You shouldn’t overtrain when your body feels drained. You also can’t quit when your body is injured, which doesn’t mean fighting with a broken leg. That means you work passed the minor injuries and stop yourself when you feel you’re pushing the body too far.
Internally and Externally Regimented
Every MMA fighter that has succeed has faced the same obstacle: dedication. The ones that succeed are the ones that do as much as they can to push forward. They are willing to sacrifice to be the best. The MMA fighter will pretty much spend his or her lives in the gym — with minimal financial gain. The dedicated MMA fighter will put all aspirations to the side to succeed — be it a girlfriend or a passion or a party. This is, honestly, the hardest step among them all because you are completely tear yourself away from society. There’s temptations that will interfere with your focus on a daily basis. You must remember that once you take your eyes away from the dedication, you are that much closer to failing.
Be Smart and Adaptable
Many onlookers will think that MMA isn’t smart man’s game. The average viewer only sees the physicalness of the sport and not the technique and strategy. The main point of MMA resides solely on being smart. Many fighters and coaches often compare the sport to chess. As a beginner, you will need to be fast learner and able to read your opponents moves and signals in the ring. That’s something that can’t be taught but that must be innate. As soon as you recognize this skill from within, the rest is gravy. You will need to read each opposing fighter differently and adjust on the fly. Of course, this is a skill that improves with time and training. As long you recognize you adaptability, then you will thrive enormously.
Build the Dream Support Team
Just like a boxer, the success relies with those around you. You will quickly learn that bringing together a team of trainers and partners that you trust. That’s a non-negotiable. These are the people that will guide you in the ring and push you in the gym. They also need to be honest and not afraid to show tough love.

Tis the period for “Very best of” lists and yr-close awards, and when Apple lately announced the App Store’s Best of 2020 winners, Canadian developer RAC7 Games’ Sneaky Sasquatch was named the Apple Arcade Game of the Yr. The once-a-year listing celebrated 15 of the year’s best apps and game titles, selected for their creative imagination, excellent and innovation, but also their cultural impression. In other terms, yes, Zoom was just one of them. So was Disney+.
Other apps that acquired leading honours involved Glow, a Black-owned self-treatment app which introduced a portion of sources specifically committed to Black mental wellbeing and wellbeing (in a yr wherever that was additional vital than at any time), and Wakeout!, an application that encourages brief movement breaks all over the working day (for people of us whose sofa now doubles as a property office). Then there was Pokémon GO!, which was forced to evolve like an App Keep Charizard in get to adapt to our new socially-distanced earth.
“It’s a activity that you are enjoying exterior with other people, it’s intended to advertise socializing,” stated Matthew Slemon, senior product manager at Niantic, expressing that the challenge grew to become “how you take a activity like that and adapt for a world wherever you can not actually do that any longer.” That meant concentrating a lot more on the game’s core rules of encouraging workout and true-earth exploration, and much less on encouraging the type of crowds you noticed hunting Pikachus by the Islands ferry terminal during the game’s heyday.
Largely nevertheless, in 2020, men and women appeared to gravitate towards video games that acted as an escape from the year’s seemingly infinite stresses, like the Vancouver-designed Sneaky Sasquatch. In the sport, accessible via Apple Arcade, people perform as a mischievous Bigfoot roaming a landscape inspired by Squamish in the 1990s, proper down to driving BC’s Freeway 99 to go skiing at Whistler. “It’s essentially an early ’90s Pacific Northwest childhood simulator,” laughed RAC7 Game titles co-founder Jesse Ringrose.
The game’s attractiveness “really started to strike a peak suitable around the pandemic,” Ringrose advised Intricate Canada, which he attributed to its capacity to let gamers to dwell vicariously by way of the titular squatch though self-quarantining. “You simply cannot definitely have a standard everyday living, but we’ve constructed this regular everyday living that the Sasquatch can stay. So there’s a good deal of escapism with that.”
RAC7 then coupled that brilliant, cartoon escapism with lower-essential, lower-worry gameplay. “It’s just this quite cozy setting. There’s no express goals that you have to do. You can go and trigger mischief or discover, or just do what ever you want to do,” he stated. “It was the suitable activity at the ideal time, I consider.”
Sneaky Sasquatch turned so well known, it finished the calendar year as Apple Arcade’s No. 1 sport in the U.S. (Back again residence in Canada, it landed at No. 5.) In actuality, the whole top rated a few most well-known video games in the US were all created in Canada, with Sizzling Lava (built by Vancouver’s Klei Entertainment) coming in at No. 2 and Skate Metropolis (designed by Toronto’s Snowman) getting third. In other text, tunes is not the only location exactly where Canadians topped the charts in 2020.
Write-up-quarantine, 2020 became a calendar year where those weekly Monitor Time stories started to browse like a problem daring us to established a new personalized very best, and that intended people who may possibly not normally participate in games on their equipment commenced selecting them up. “Where video games may well have been perceived as niche before, I think in the quarantine so many people today are now actively playing additional online games that it’s a big action ahead for online games in basic,” presented Jeff Jew, government producer of 2020’s iPad Game of the Year, Legends of Runeterra.
“We’ve gotten a lot of messages indicating that [Sneaky Sasquatch] has been very critical this yr to just hold their household sane,” claimed Ringrose, echoing individuals sentiments. “People have been in essence saying I am so glad that this recreation exists for this 12 months, mainly because otherwise I really do not know how we would have managed.”
Which is why, 9 months (and counting) into our new socially-distanced regular, receiving together—and gaming together—online, is a person 2020 craze that Jew thinks will continue on article-pandemic and over and above. “Having social gatherings in an on line area, for some individuals it was component of their day-to-day everyday living. For most persons it likely was not,” he stated. “But I think moving forward, now that we have all experienced that environment, playing online games collectively, having together for an party in a digital hangout will be significantly far more popular. There’s no heading again.”
Other best apps in Canada for 2020 involved, unsurprisingly, social media applications like TikTok and Instagram, messaging solutions like WhatsApp and Fb Messenger, and for the iPad, streaming expert services like Amazon Prime Video clip and Netflix—while Canada’s COVID Alert application arrived in at No. 8 on the checklist of the country’s most downloaded no cost Apple iphone applications.

Russian Overseas Minister Sergey Lavrov mentioned Saturday that further weapons can be deployed in Russian areas to match the threats that “might seem on the territory of Finland and Sweden” following their accession into NATO.
“The conclusion that we’ll draw for our safety is that we’ve already made an organizational resolution,” Lavrov mentioned on the sidelines of the Antalya Diplomacy Discussion board in Turkey.
“Further weapons can be positioned, stationed, deployed there, which can be enough to the threats which will seem on the territory of Finland and Sweden,” he concluded.
Hungary’s parliament on Monday authorised Sweden’s bid to affix NATO, eradicating the ultimate hurdle for the Scandinavian nation to develop into the trans-Atlantic army alliance’s thirty second member.
Sweden’s accession means the North Atlantic Treaty Group members will enclose practically the entire strategically vital Baltic Sea, which borders Russia and is anticipated to boost the alliance’s deterrence towards Moscow, army consultants say.
Whereas Finland joined NATO in April final yr, Sweden wanted to attend for approval by Hungary, the one alliance member that had not given the greenlight amid tensions stemming from Stockholm’s criticism over Budapest’s democracy.
Lavrov additionally commented on the prospect of army engagement with NATO after a number of distinguished Western figures made feedback concerning Ukraine and troop deployment.
“The newest statements by each (French President Emmanuel) Macron and (U.S. Protection Secretary Lloyd) Austin and the dialog of German generals nonetheless point out that the social gathering of struggle doesn’t need to change its course in the direction of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield. We perceive this,” Lavrov mentioned.
U.S. Protection Secretary Lloyd Austin remarked throughout a congressional listening to on Thursday that, he believed, NATO could possibly be in “a battle with Russia” if “Ukraine falls.”
French President Emmanuel Macron appeared remoted on the European stage this week after saying the potential of Western troops being despatched to Ukraine couldn’t be dominated out, a remark that prompted an outcry from different leaders.
French officers later sought to make clear Macron’s remarks and tamp down the backlash, whereas insisting on the necessity to ship a transparent sign to Russia that it can’t win in Ukraine.
The Kremlin warned that if NATO sends fight troops, a direct battle between the alliance and Russia could be inevitable.

European army heavyweights Germany and Poland affirmed Tuesday that they’d not be sending troops to Ukraine, after reviews that some Western international locations could also be contemplating doing in order the struggle with Russia enters its third yr.
The pinnacle of NATO additionally mentioned the U.S.-led army alliance has no plans to ship troops to Ukraine, after different central European leaders confirmed that they too wouldn’t be offering troopers.
The thought of sending troops has been taboo, notably as NATO seeks to keep away from being dragged right into a wider struggle with nuclear-armed Russia.
Nothing prevents NATO members from becoming a member of such an endeavor individually or in teams, however the group itself would solely get entangled if all 31 members agree.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz made clear Monday that he stays reluctant to ship Taurus long-range cruise missiles to Ukraine, pointing to a threat of his nation turning into straight concerned within the struggle.
Germany is now the second-biggest provider of army assist to Ukraine after the US and is additional stepping up its help this yr.

I helped with the cost by purchasing a 25 yd roll of 90" wide wadding for a super price from Empress Mills. I have cut 2 quilt lengths from it, but the waste annoys me still. Last night I had a "light bulb moment", today I unrolled the remaining 20 miles of wadding, and there is the snow drift , I would have taken a photo but could not escape the drift.
Using my largest cutting mat, 12 1/2" ruler, rotary cutter, lots of sweat and quite a few "grown up" words I trimmed 10" from the length.
80" is the maximum width that I can get on the frame and still access my machine to change the bobbin.(The 10" strip will be cut in half long ways and zig zagged together, rinse and repeat to give me a usable piece of wadding.)
I then manhandled the snow drift to the frame, and with more sweating, grunting and lots of huffing and puffing, wrestled it onto the bottom bar, it just about went on with about 5ft draped over.
The last 5ft is just draped on ready to be pulled up and floated on the quilt backing. This means that when I FMQ to the bottom of my next quilt I will just cut across the fleece and there will be no waste.
I am also considering joining 2 quilt tops with a 3" strip and doing the same, just cut across the joining strip at the bottom of the first quilt. That can act as a border and my next top is loaded and ready to go. Time saved if not fabric.
While I was at it I decided to go for gold, when I bought the frame it had never been set up full size. This meant that the leader cloths were in 2 pieces for each roller. I was in such a hurry to get started that I loaded them like this and just pinned them together when I loaded the quilt layers. Well not no more, so to speak, I have taken them off, sewed the bits together and reattached them.
I went shopping with a friend yesterday, Angela wanted new nets but is unwilling to struggle around in her wheelchair, so I went off with the hubby and duly found the pattern that she had selected. Today I had to shorten them by 4", why can you never get the right size? They are hung and looking good, my Janome QC sailed through the slippery fabric like a hot knife through butter.
We also had a quick tootle round Wyevale, just look at what jumped in to my arms.
The yellow rose has an amazing fragrance, I will be looking for a good pot to put it in tomorrow, just behind it is a Magnolia Stellata, half price woo hoo, this will also be going into a pot.
This cute little Gerbera had to come with me, I just love the colour.
These Camellias are in Lidl, less than £2, and will have the most fragrant white blooms, I bought them in bud as I will be potting them on later.
There a a few of these little wild flowers popping up and I am leaving most of them. They are so bright and happy, they deserve their place.
Finally, this is done and will be wrapped and in the post tomorrow, it is going North and I hope that it will be used and enjoyed. The stitch length is organic in places but it is part of my learning curve. I love it and would happily keep it for myself, I am even happier to be sending it off to be part of another persons life.
Now it is time to get dinner on the go, mushrooms stuffed with pate and topped with herby breadcrumbs, new potatoes and salad. | <urn:uuid:91374617-9a51-4131-82f5-f62154b08b25> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://agoodlifeintydd.blogspot.com/2015/06/hot-work-in-snow-drift.html | 2024-04-24T02:43:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.979897 | 788 |

“What to do?”
One of my biggest confusion has been, what to do when something disturbs me in a relationship. Should I keep quiet and resolve the disturbance on my own? Should I tell the other person what is bothering me? Should I catch a plane to the Himalayas and live in a cave? What should I do??
This confusion becomes more compounded when you are an introspective person. Which I would like to believe I am. Also sensitive. (Okay, enough self-promotion!) Self-aware individuals tend to seek the cause of the disturbance within themselves.
“My authority issue is acting up!”
“My rejection and abandonment button is pressed.”
“My intimacy and trust soft spot has been touched.”
“My identity and sexuality conflict is exposed.”
“Can’t make sense of this, must check with my therapist.” (damn, these shrinks are so expensive these days!)
There are many wounded aspects of our psyche that invariably get pressed when we are in a relationship with someone. Like someone touching a raw wound, it immediately sends painful emotional currents across our system.
Now if we are blessed with the IS Syndrome (I = Introspective and S = Sensitive), it is most likely we will not express ourself. We may express ourself in our mind, in our journal, to our counsellor, even to our pet dog…but we will not express ourself to the person who has triggered the disturbance. We will try our best to rationalize and resolve (read suppress) the emotion on our own, as far as possible.
We may even derive some psychological or spiritual insight out of our condition.
“I must be selfless and giving.”
“God knows my heart is pure.”
“My true nature is love and compassion.”
This ‘self-help-spiritual-band-aid’ will provide us relief for some time, until the pain becomes too difficult to endure. Then usually two things happen. First, a volcanic eruption. Second, a meltdown. Quite often the relationship does not survive beyond this point. Or even if it does, it does so in a watered down version of it.
So what can be done to avoid this avoidance pattern?
What can we do to build a healthy relationship?
Yes, talk. As in open the mouth, move the tongue and emit sounds that the other person understands. But before we do that it is important to realize one thing. Actually two things.
1) The true cause of anything that disturbs us is within us. The other person is simply a trigger.*
2) But in a relationship, an emotional resolution must also happen through the relationship.
At least in a relationship that matters. And if we do not do that, the relationship stops mattering.
What do I mean by an emotional resolution in a relationship?
Let’s say, our partner says something that disturbs us. Perhaps he or she was not even aware that it has affected us in the manner it has. But what our partner said has now seeded in our mind and is playing like our favorite song on loop. It is annoying. And every time it repeats, it gathers more momentum, more thoughts and more feelings.
“How could he say this? He doesn’t respect me? He takes me for granted?” On and on it goes. After this heavy metal song has played long enough, the track switches to something softer and melodious “I must learn to let go. After all, he takes care of me. He is not that bad, for a Tinder match!”
Rather than allow this tape to play in our head and try to resolve our disturbance on our own, it is much better to talk to the other person.
Talking essentially comprises of two things.
Asking and Sharing.
One could begin by asking “What made you say that?”
Or one could begin by sharing “I felt …. when you said that.”
Which is different from saying “You SOB, how could you say that!” It is simply saying (the tone is critical), how we feel when the other person says or does something. We are not holding the other person responsible. We are simply sharing what emotions got triggered in us, while relating to that person. Sometimes it’s good to actually say the last two sentences aloud, so that the other person does not feel you are blaming him or her.
Which is why before we talk it is important that we spend some time with our reactivity. Notice it. Watch it. Be curious. Without doing anything about it. When our reactivity is met with a silent gaze, it often dissolves into nothingness. If we talk without working on our reactivity, ask can easily become interrogate and share can unknowingly become judge. While there is no best time for having a conversation, there is definitely a best state of mind for it. Calm and balanced.
Now if our partner has a certain degree of maturity (which is becoming a rare commodity these days) he will probably understand what we are saying, and respond by saying where he was coming from when he said what he said. And probably, hopefully, eventually, God willing, alleluia! both will understand each other a little better. And the relationship will grow deeper in trust and intimacy.
But if that does not happen, even after repeated attempts, it would be good to ask ourself. “Is this relationship worth my emotional investment? What is keeping me here?” Often we remain in a dysfunctional (inauthentic and abusive) relationship due to our own fears. While it is easy for me to write about it, I understand it is not easy to overcome deep rooted fears and take a step into the unknown. Often we choose to stay put, until we are pushed out of the relationship by circumstances beyond our control.
But if we have not reached that level of hopelessness in our relationship, it is good to talk, ask and share. And yes, I almost forgot the other key ingredient for a healthy relationship.
Listen with curiosity. Listen as though our life depended on it. Listen as though there is a password to a buried treasure in what the other person is saying. After all, the best gift one human being can give another is their undivided attention.
Relating is not easy. Particularly if we want to have an open (not that kind of open!) and honest relationship. But it is worth giving it our best. After all, our happiness greatly depends on the quality of our bonds with other human beings. And to build strong bonds, we must learn to talk. Ask and share. Share and ask. | <urn:uuid:bab4959c-aff5-4fbc-ade8-22fbdb06c6e0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ajayakalra.com/2021/07/03/ask-share-the-building-blocks-of-relationship/ | 2024-04-24T02:14:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.972518 | 1,419 |
JIUNGE NASI WHATSAPP TU FOLLOW. BONYEZA HAPADustin Hoffman Net Worth :Remarkable Career and Wealth of Dustin Hoffman
Dustin Hoffman Net Worth :Remarkable Career and Wealth of Dustin Hoffman Dustin Hoffman, a name synonymous with Hollywood excellence, has left an indelible mark on the film industry through his stellar acting and unforgettable performances. With a career spanning over five decades, Hoffman has not only achieved critical acclaim but has also amassed a considerable fortune. In this blog post, we delve into the life and career of Dustin Hoffman, shedding light on his net worth and the factors that contributed to his financial success.
Early Life and Career Beginnings:
Hoffman’s early acting career was not easy, and he found himself working odd jobs in order to support himself. His first notable roles were in theatre productions at the Pasadena Playhouse. He worked with a young Gene Hackman, and Dustin later followed Hackman to New York City, living with him alongside Robert Duvall during the 60s. Hoffman found it quite difficult to get work due to his appearance, but early roles during this period included off-Broadway and Broadway productions. He also appeared in TV series like “Naked City,” “The Defenders,” and “Hallmark of Fame.”
Dustin’s film debut came in 1967 with “The Tiger Makes Out.” His breakthrough came later that year with the release of “The Graduate,” in which he played the lead. Hoffman received an Academy Award nomination for this role, for which he received a salary of $20,000 (which became a net of $4,000 after taxes and expenses). Despite receiving multiple offers to star new films, Hoffman returned to New York to further his stage career. He later followed up with a film role in “Midnight Cowboy.”
During the 1970s, Hoffman appeared in films like “Straw Dogs,” “Lenny,” “All the President’s Men,” “Marathon Man,” “Straight Time,” and “Agatha.” To end the decade, Hoffman took a lead role in “Kramer vs. Kramer,” winning his first Academy Award. During the eighties, he appeared in “Tootsie” before appearing in the critical and commercial failure that was “Ishtar.” Hoffman once again ended the decade with an Academy Award win, this time for his role in “Rain Man.”
Dustin’s success continued throughout the 90s with roles in films like “Hook,” “Outbreak,” “Sleepers,” and “Wag the Dog.” This run of notable roles continued throughout the 2000s with “Moonlight Mile,” “Runaway Jury,” “Finding Neverland,” “I Heart Huckabees,” “Meet the Fockers,” and “Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium.” He also booked a prominent voice acting role in the commercially successful animated film “Kung Fu Panda.”
During the 2010s, Hoffman booked a role in the HBO series “Luck” before directing his first film, “Quartet.” In 2017, he starred in the critically-acclaimed movie “The Meyerowitz Stories.”
Critical Acclaim and Iconic Roles:
Dustin Hoffman’s career is a testament to his versatility as an actor. From the disillusioned college graduate in “The Graduate” to the enigmatic and transformative roles in films like “Midnight Cowboy,” “Rain Man,” and “Tootsie,” Hoffman has consistently demonstrated his acting prowess. His ability to immerse himself in diverse characters has earned him numerous awards, including two Academy Awards, six Golden Globe Awards, and an Emmy Award.
Dustin Hoffman’s Net Worth Annually
He and Tom Cruise were praised for their roles in “Rain Man” along with Bonnie Hunt, and Emma Thompson was stunning in her role opposite Hoffman in “Last Chance Harvey”.
Hoffman then appeared with Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey in “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”, which received critical acclaim.
Here’s a breakdown of Dustin Hoffman’s annual net worth:
- Dustin Hoffman’s Net Worth In 2017 – $85 Million
- Dustin Hoffman’s Net Worth In 2018 – $88 Million
- Dustin Hoffman’s Net Worth In 2019 – $90 Million

- Dustin Hoffman’s Net Worth In 2021 – $95 Million
- Dustin Hoffman’s Net Worth In 2022 – $100 million
- Dustin Hoffman’s Net Worth In 2023 – $100 Million
Dustin’s role opposite Nicole Kidman in “The Interpreter” along with Sean Penn was praised by critics and loved by audiences around the world.
Throughout his career, he has established himself as a versatile performer who can bring complex characters to life on screen, and he has worked with some of the biggest names in Hollywood.
Dustin Hoffman’s first wife was Anne Bryne, an actress whom he met in 1963. After their marriage in 1969, Hoffman adopted Bryne’s child from a previous marriage. They then divorced in 1980. That year, he married businesswoman Lisa Gottsegen, and they subsequently had four children together. The family raised their children Jewish.
S3xual Assault Allegations
In 2017, several women came forward with s3xual abuse allegations against Dustin Hoffman. One woman accused the actor of making s3xually inappropriate comments around her when she was a 17-year-old intern. She also alleged that Hoffman asked her to give him foot massages. Another woman accused Hoffman of exposing himself to her in a hotel room.
A third woman claimed that Dustin had assaulted her in the back of a station wagon, coercing her into a sexual encounter that left her traumatized. In total, six women came forward with accusations, which ranged from inappropriate comments to groping or even full-on s3xual assault. Some of these women are actresses, such as Meryl Streep and Kathryn Rossetter, both of whom claim Dustin groped them. These accusations involve incidents that span multiple decades.
Business Ventures and Investments:
In addition to his contributions to the film industry, Hoffman has made strategic business moves and investments that have further bolstered his net worth. Like many successful actors, he has capitalized on endorsement deals, brand partnerships, and investments in various ventures. Hoffman’s business acumen has played a crucial role in securing his financial stability outside of the silver screen.
Philanthropy and Personal Endeavors:
Beyond his professional achievements, Dustin Hoffman is known for his philanthropic efforts. He has been actively involved in various charitable causes and organizations, using his influence to make a positive impact on society. Hoffman’s commitment to social causes reflects not only his talent as an actor but also his dedication to making a difference in the world.
In 2012, it was confirmed that Dustin Hoffman was one of the many celebs who owned property in Malibu’s exclusive Broad Beach neighborhood. His ownership was revealed because of a controversy involving beach erosion. The 114 residents of this affluent area became concerned that the water was eroding the sand dunes upon which many of their expensive mansions lie.
Although a seawall might seem like the obvious solution, the residents (including Hoffman) hatched an ambitious, $20-million plan to dig up sand from the bottom of the ocean in order to build more of a barrier. However, this proved to be a divisive issue. Various environmentalist groups protested the plan, claiming that it would damage local ecosystems.
In 2017, Hoffman’s real estate deals sparked controversy once again. He and his son teamed up with a developer named Jeffrey Yohai (the son of Paul Manafort) to build a mansion in Hollywood Hills. The Hoffmans invested $3 million into the project. Aside from the strangeness of the Hoffmans (lifetime Democrats) doing business with the son of a then-prominent politician in the Trump administration, the deal caught the eye of media sources for another reason.
Yohai’s company, which was responsible for the project, filed for bankruptcy, and the Hoffmans looked as if they would never get their $3 million back. The investment property was later put on the housing market for $7.45 million – taking a $1.5-million price reduction since first being listed. The Hoffman’s were understandably concerned, and they took legal action against Yohai to ensure that when the property did finally sell, they would get their initial investment back – or at least some of it.
Awards & Achievements
Throughout his career, Hoffman was known for his ability to bring complex characters to life on the big screen.
He has received numerous awards and nominations for his performances, including two Academy Award nominations for Best Actor for his roles in “Kramer vs Kramer” and “Tootsie.”
Here are a few of the most significant events in Dustin Hoffman’s career:
- Dustin won numerous awards for his performance in “The Graduate”, with the most notable being a Golden Globe Award in 1967.
- The film “Rain Man” won him another Golden Globe Award in 1988.
- He went on to receive yet another Golden Globe Award with his appearance in the film “Kramer vs Kramer” in 1979.
- Dustin received an Academy Award for Best Actor for the film “Kramer vs Kramer,” in 1979.
- In 1988, Hoffman received an Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in “Rain Man”.
In “Kramer vs Kramer,” Hoffman played the role of an advertising executive who must adjust to life as a single father. In “Tootsie,” he played a struggling actor who finds success by posing as a woman.
Dustin has also worked in theater and television throughout his career, earning an Emmy for his performances in “Death of a Salesman” and “The Execution of Private Slovik”.
How Does Dustin Hoffman Spend His Money?
Dustin was met with very angry comments about being one of the celebrities who owned Broad Beach Neighbourhood.
This was because people claimed that the building of these mansions was causing erosion of the sand dunes, which affected many ecosystems.
To buy Dustin some time, he decided to spend $20 million on digging up sand from the bottom of the ocean to create more of a barrier but, this did not work and caused more controversy.
He also owns property in the UK, living in one of the most expensive houses in the world on Victoria Road, very close to Kensington, High Street.
Dustin owns some interesting cars, including a Toyota Prius, a Tesla Roadster, and a Porsche Carrera, which is not very eco-friendly.
Hoffman has a life-long ambition to be a jazz musician and has taken piano lessons to bring his wish to fruition. | <urn:uuid:eb20ba22-a2e0-42af-8270-eb94e98e2659> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ajiraforum.com/dustin-hoffman-net-worth-exploring-the-remarkable-career-and-wealth-of-dustin-hoffman/ | 2024-04-24T03:16:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.980856 | 2,391 |
Hair Follicle Drug Test
The hair follicle drug test is available as a 5 panel test and 5 panel test with extended opiates panel.
The hair follicle drug test detects:
- Marijuana (THC)
- Opiates (codeine, morphine, heroin)
In addition to the following 5 drugs, the extended opiates panel includes:
Laboratory testing and results reporting is included. The hair follicle drug test is intended for court-ordered monitoring programs such as probation and substance abuse treatment programs.
90 Day Window of Detection
The 90-day detection window associated with a hair follicle drug test allows you to detect more drug users. When collecting a hair sample, the collector cuts a small swatch of hair close to the scalp. Only the 1 1/2″ of hair that grew closest to the scalp is sent to the lab for analysis. Because hair grows approximately a 1/2″ a month, the collected hair sample represents three months of growth. Because it takes only four to five days after drug use for hair to grow above the scalp, any drug use during the three months prior to the hair test will be detected with the hair test.
Eliminates Specimen Tampering and Adulteration
At this time there are no known adulterants for a hair follicle drug test. Since hair tests analyze the drugs inside the hair shaft, external contaminants and chemicals have no effect on the hair test. The non-intrusive collection procedure virtually eliminates test evasion, making hair testing far more effective than urinalysis in correctly identifying drug users. Two independent studies found that hair testing detected four to eight times as many drug users as did urine testing.
Laboratory GC/MS Confirmation Testing Process
The laboratory first performs a screening test using enzyme immunoassay methodology to detect the possible presence of drugs. Non-negative specimens are re-tested using GC/MS. To rule out the possibility of external contamination and to increase the level of certainty, GC/MS testing also looks for both the parent drug and/or the drug metabolites, as appropriate for the particular drug. | <urn:uuid:68b2825b-025d-429e-b642-94f9e43e52e2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://alcopro.com/product/hair-follicle-drug-test/ | 2024-04-24T02:51:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.918483 | 433 |
I Am Gay, Please Help!
I am a 22 year old man, Muslim from Nigeria. I am very devoted to my religion and my parents. But my faith is making my life miserable, because of my sexual orientation, i am gay, i knew it since i was 6 or 7, i tried to change it since for almost 10 years now, it is only wish for during the Ramadan for more than a decade, i prayed every night that Allah make me normal or at least make me attracted to women, but so far nothing has changed, worse my desire for sex with men is only growing every day, and i am desperate.
I tried having sex with a girl of my age hoping for a miracle, but it was a disaster and a humiliation as i didn’t have an erection, worse i was disgusted.
Every day for me is a torture, i can’t to the mosque cause i feel dirty and guilty for having such thoughts in Allah ‘s house, i feel like everyone around me knows, or that the angels are watching me , and i am ashamed of what god might think of me.
I don’t have male friends, i felt in love with both of my two previous best friends when i was 14 and 17.
I am lonely, miserable and desperate. Every night i close my eyes i find myself hoping not to wake up the next day.And i have so many questions in my mind :
Why did god make people gay but forbids homosexual intercourse ?
Why did is god punishing me like that?
Is God punishing my dad?
Why isn’t Allah answering my prayers?
How am i supposed to leave like this?
How can i have kids if can’t even have an erection with a girl?
What if i loose it?My faith is shaking i don’t wanna go to hell. I would kill myself to end this but i would go to hell too.
Help me please, i don’t understand, give some answers.PS: I know that some imams can’t accept the fact that people are born gay or think that homosexuality is a choice but i can assure you in my case it’s not, i would have never chosen that.
Dear Rafiq (name changed),
The first thing you should do is to get rid of your guilt. This is not possible as long as you believe in Islam. You have to understand that God will not send humans to hell. This whole idea is a lie. There is nothing you can do that is offensive to God. Of course if you hurt other people then I assume there may be consequences. If there is an afterlife, there must also be some justice. But God will not punish people for believing or not believing or for any other reason, especially for their sex life. If God exists, he cannot be so petty.
We humans, compared to God are infinitely smaller than ants are to us. Can an ant do anything that could offend you to such an extent that you may want to burn her? Can a cat that is much closer to us do anything that you would want to burn him? Of course this is silly. You’d be crazy if you could be offended by an ant or a cat and want to punish them. This belief that God will punish and reward people for their beliefs or for their sexual activities is attributing insanity to God. If God exist, this belief is blasphemy.
Don’t believe in that lie. Don’t believe in Islam and anything Muhammad said. He was a psychopath who wanted to have control over people’s lives and their thoughts. Fear is the tool of domination for psychopaths.
Once you get rid of your belief in Islam and your irrational guilt about your sexuality, more than half of your problems will be solved. This guilt is the killer. Get rid of it. If you still think Muhammad was a prophet of God, read my book and you will be convinced that he was a mentally sick man. He was a pathological liar.
Now as for you being a gay, of course living in an Islamic country makes your life very difficult. This is not something that can be changed overnight. For attitudes to change, Muslims must leave Islam.
Also no one knows why some people become gay. Some say it is genetic. I don’t believe that it is genetic because if it were so, it would have become extinct millions of years ago. Since homosexuals generally don’t procreate, a homosexual gene would not have passed to future generations.
An ancient poet called Sappho wrote about love between women in 600 BC in the Islands of Lesbos, a district in Greece. Although most of her her poems are destroyed, the legend has it that because all the men in the Island were massacred, women turned to each other for love and sex.
It is a fact that adults who have never had sexual feelings for same sex can develop it. Despite this evidence those who want to live in self-deception insist that homosexuality is genetic. The women of Lesbos, the Lesbians, prove them wrong. But how can you convince someone who prefers lies to truth?
There are many movies and literature that actually promote homosexuality. When I had a TV and used to waste my time in front of that box I saw several movies that were clearly promoting homosexuality to heterosexual women as a form of liberation from their abusive marital life. Today they teach it in schools. This is the Left’s agenda to destroy the family.
Despite this brazen propaganda to promote homosexuality, homosexuals deny categorically that homosexuality is a learned behavior. It is kind of like Islam being a religion of peace. On one hand Muslims promote jihad and murder people and on the other hand they insist that it is the religion of peace.
When lies take over our lives, truth is always the casualty. To silence the critics of Islam or of homosexuality they label people with derogatory adjectives such as Islamophobic and homophobic. Both these terms are devised to silence any discussion about Islam and homosexuality. You can never find the truth under tyranny of thoughts.
Many factors contribute to the development of homosexual attractions. Same-sex attraction is the result of a complex interaction of personality, biological inheritance, and developmental experiences.
Homosexuality is often the symptom of deeper inner psychological conflicts. For example, a girl may lose her mother at a very young age. She may feel a void in her for maternal love. She may feel attraction to other women to fulfill this void and that attraction is erroneously expressed in a sexual way. This may provide instant intimacy and gratification but leaves the underling cause unsatisfied.
Also boys need to create a strong bond with their father. If the relationship is not ideal, emotional scars are created that affect their identity, including their sexual identity. Often people growing up in dysfunctional families are not aware of it because that is the only model they know.
These emotional struggles can be rejection, abuse, lack of self-steam, confusion in gender identity or fear. However, often people who have sexual problems can’t recognize this and hide the real issue and deny it. The need may not be sexual at all and the solution is also not sexual.
In my opinion homosexuality is formed through classical conditioning. Pavlov’s experiment may explain it. If an individual is conditioned to respond when a neutral stimulus (in the case of homosexuality, someone of the same sex) is presented along with a stimulus of some significance (in this case, sexual pleasure) the individual will link the two together and may be aroused by objects that are not sexually meaningful, such as a person of the same sex.
This association can take place at any age. But like all conditional responses, the younger the person the stronger will be the link between the stimulus and the response.
Animals can also be conditioned. In fact the experiment was first performed by Pavlov on his dog. Just as a dog can salivate by hearing a bell ringing, something that has nothing to do with food, a person can feel aroused by anything, including someone of their own sex if that thing is linked to sexual pleasure, love or romantic feeling. This explains also fetishism and why someone can be sexually aroused by a woman’s shoe or a piece of her apparel. It is the connection that the individual makes in his head that makes the fetish sexually significant. Animals can become homosexual – for the same reason we human become homosexual.
Sadly, the subject of homosexuality has become a taboo. No one can study it objectively. On one hand we have Muslims who think gay people should be killed and that is the end of the story and on the other hand westerners believe any objective discussion of homosexuality is homophobia and bigotry. The result is perpetual suffering for countless innocent souls. Humans are stupid creatures.
Can a gay person develop sexual attraction for a person of the opposite gender? There are many who claim to have done it. It might be difficult but not impossible. It must be done gradually. I have read also stories of people who claim they had no sexual feeling for the persons of the same sex and developed that feeling later in life. One gay person who wrote in the forum of Faithfreedom.org, several years ago, said he was not gay at all. He started watching gay porn for laughter and gradually became curious and interested until he fantasized and then acted upon it.
If what this person said is true and if the stories of gay people who have become heterosexual are true then it must be possible for a gay person to develop sexual feelings for the opposite sex and effectively recover.
The recovery will be easier if you don’t entertain sexual fantasies with another man. Every time you fantasize, your attraction to men become stronger. Instead, if you fantasize about women, you gradually will feel attracted to them. Brain is a powerful tool. You are what you think. Think what you want to be and you will be it.
It is a sure thing that life for you in an Islamic country is not going to be easy. If you can migrate to a non-Muslim country you will have a much better chance to live a happy life. Another thing you must do is to get rid of your guilt. This guilt is the main killer. It is a false guilt. God will never punish you for being a gay. If He is God, he will love you just the way you are. You are not committing any crime or sin and your thoughts are not disgusting. Don’t let false beliefs destroy your life. You are in control of your thoughts. You can stop believing in a false religion and liberate yourself from its yoke.
There are three things that I suggest you should do.
1- Get rid of your belief in Islam because it is a lie and get rid of your false guilt. That false guilt torments you more than anything else.
2- Try to migrate to a non-Muslim country by all means.
3- Slowly, try to awaken in you the sexual attraction towards women. If one guy can develop attraction for men by watching gay porn, maybe the reverse is also true and you can develop attraction for women by watching them in a sensual way. If homosexuality is caused by classical conditioning, which is what I believe, then one may be able to reverse it by the same process by changing the stimulus. This process may be slow. Don’t expect result overnight. The process must be pleasurable. Don’t force yourself. Watch the faces and the bodies of nude women in erotic poses and discover their beauty. Do it slowly and regularly until you start seeing them sexually appealing. You may pleasure yourself at the same time envisioning having sex with them. What you want to do is connect the part of your brain that is aroused by sexual pleasure to women and their bodies. Your brain neurons must create new connections linking women with eroticism. Avoid watching porn that involves men even if that is a heterosexual act.
You tried to sleep with one woman and it was a disaster. That is because it was too much at once. You have to do this slowly without any pressure for performance. Do this alone first and once you start feeling attraction to women, find a girlfriend, explain your struggle to her and you’ll find that she will be more than happy to help you.
You may never be able to get rid of your homosexual feelings. Don’t try it because it does not work and it will cause you frustration. It is fine if you feel attracted to men. Accept yourself as you are and be in peace with yourself. Just don’t act upon it and don’t engage in fantasizing about men. I may find many women attractive, but this does not mean I should act upon my feeling.
There is an old Chinese story I mentioned before about a young student going to his master complaining about his handicaps and telling him how he has tried and has failed to overcome them. His master draws a line on the ground and says if you can make this line shorter, without erasing it or covering it, you will be able to overcome your flaws. The student thinks and thinks and finally gives up saying this is one of those puzzles that has no solution. His master says, it has, watch carefully. He then draws another much longer line next to it and says, look, isn’t the first line shorter? The moral of the story is that instead of striving to overcome what you perceive as flaws in you, ignore them and instead work on other areas of your life and make them stand out. Your flaws may never go away, but they become insignificant in comparison to your strengths. Eventually, when you draw many longer lines, they become invisible.
I am of the opinion that homosexuality is a disorder, not unlike eating disorder. Some people are more prone to be obese than others. But this is not a determining factor. Obese people can overcome their eating disorder and have a normal body. It takes more work and more awareness for them than it takes for someone who has no problem with food.
Don’t commit suicide. Even if you never get rid of your homosexuality, you can live a happy and fulfilling life by getting rid of your guilt and by migrating to a non-Muslim country. You can take these two steps easily. In Nigeria, go and live in Christian areas and befriend non-Muslims.
Strive to excel in what you can be good at. It may be a profession or a vocation and serve humanity in that capacity. If you can discover heterosexual attraction, fall in love with a woman and form a family that would be great. If you can’t, it is also fine. Many great people, like Socrates, Leonardo Da Vinci and Michael Angelo were gay. You can be gay and have a very fulfilling life.
There are sites that can help. This is a good one with sound advices.

In a customer-centric world, mapping the data of the customer journey can help organizations to understand their audience better. This knowledge can drive better product development, marketing, UX, and merchandising decisions. Customer journey is at the core of Customer Experience (CX), mapping out these journeys is vital to improve customer experience and tap into the monetary potential of great customer service.
The customer journey has increasingly become more complex as we continue to see a rise in customer expectations. Successful customer journeys have massive benefits for an organization. Mapping the customer journey is the best way to visualize the overall experience of a customer with a business, from customer motivation to post-purchase emotions. Understanding the different steps involved in this journey can help brands to create more personalized customer experiences, which can lead to greater loyalty and retention.
The importance of mapping customer journey
The purpose of breaking down the customer journey is to maximize customer success to achieve long-term brand loyalty and advocacy. Marketers use analytical and anecdotal data mining tactics to identify customer behavior and market trends, which are essential to conducting a comprehensive mapping process.
Mapping customer journeys can amplify a company’s inbound marketing efforts, and help them become more customer-centric. Additionally, detailed insight into the customer journey is beneficial when expanding and targeting a new customer base. When business leaders and marketers are aware of customer needs and pain points, they are able to construct precise marketing strategies that result in greater conversion and revenue.
Research published by Aberdeen Group stated that companies with formal customer journey management programs enjoy a 54% greater return on marketing investment compared to those without it. The study also found that mapping customer journeys have the ability to improve the cost of customer service by ten times while also enjoying 3.5 times more revenue through customer referrals. Customer journey management has a direct linkage to a greater share of wallet & customer lifetime value and increased top & bottom-line revenue. It can increase up-sell and cross-sell revenue by 56%.
Steps to mapping a customer journey
Understanding the customer
The first step to formulating a customer journey is to understand who your core customer is. A deeper understanding of the customer can help companies to create better marketing strategies to convert a visitor into a long-term, loyal customer. Companies employ various tactics to gather customer information such as feedback surveys, customer contact forms, customer interviews, usability tests, on-site analytics, etc. Extensive data collection provides businesses the opportunity to capture the customer’s perception of their product or service experience. This information is crucial to visualize a customer’s experience with a product over a period of time, and identify areas of improvement to enhance CX. Businesses use a combination of competitive and comparative research to observe and analyze how customers use an existing product or service. There is also value in gathering inputs of all company personnel who come in direct contact with customers, to truly understand the frustrations and pain points of the customer. Every customer touchpoint is a critical part of the customer experience, and it requires an in-depth analysis to create an accurate customer journey map.
Creating customer personas
Customer insights help businesses to create customer personas. Customer personas represent a sample of the homogeneous audience, with recognizable key traits within them, which help businesses to build a detailed picture of hypothetical customers. Personas allow companies to evaluate important customer information such as customer motivations, personal preferences, the preferred mode of communication, and other emotive information. These insights are key data that help companies to create and deliver more relevant and customized experiences. An ideal customer persona requires empathy mapping which takes into account what a customer thinks, hears, sees, and feels in the process of a product purchase, thus creating a truer customer perspective. It also might be worthwhile to create negative customer personas (the kind of people brands don’t want as customers), to avoid wasting time and resources.
Defining the steps of a customer journey map
The customer journey depends on various factors such as marketing strategies and sales funnel design. It is important to define all the different stages of your customer journey to get a proper overview of the complete journey. The focus of this journey is on different factors such as channels through which customers find your business, their course of navigation on your website, and their actions on each stage of the journey. There are 3 important stages in a journey map- awareness, consideration & decisions, and conversion & retention. It’s important to evaluate each stage of the journey to make a customer-focused design, product, user experience, and marketing decision.
Listing out all key customer touchpoints
Touchpoints are defined as all the areas on the brand’s website and channels of communication that customers interact with at each stage. This includes landing pages, case studies, webinars, blogs, etc. These touches are critical to understanding the objectives of the customer journey. Although every company is different, some of the most common customer touchpoints are social media channels, reviews, testimonials, advertisements, customer support teams, and sales team interactions. Companies need to analyze where their traffic is coming from, and where the customers are heading next. These touchpoints can help you anticipate your customer’s next move, and accurately design a customer journey with the best possible user experience.
Analyzing various key touchpoints will help businesses to find weaknesses and areas of improvement in the customer journey. Something as simple as reducing the number of steps customers need to reach the purchasing stage can have a big impact on conversion rates. Here the focus should be on finding roadblocks that are causing customers to abandon the journey, and creating ways to improve the site to enhance the user experience.
Mapping customer journeys help businesses to identify problems and opportunities in customer management. As customer behavior continues to evolve, businesses will have to adapt and re-evaluate their customer journey to sustain a seamless user experience. At Alkye, we help our clients to analyze and map out a customer journey that elevates the customer experience and brand value of the company. | <urn:uuid:f952065e-2b71-460d-8f5a-bdb11fd003cd> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://alkye.com/blog/how-to-map-complex-customer-journey/ | 2024-04-24T03:04:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.931504 | 1,226 |
GeoGrid what is it ?
Geogrid is a geosynthetic material used to reinforce soils and similar materials. Geogrids are commonly used to reinforce retaining walls, sub-bases or sub soils below roads or structures. Soils pull apart under tension. Compared to soil, geogrids are stronger in tension. This fact allows them to transfer forces to a larger area of soil than would otherwise be the case.
Ok… Ok…. that’s the technical term…Hell I don’t even understand it (lol).
You may have to cut the geogrid at different widths depending on the plans…
When the weight of a retaining wall units along is not enough to retain soil loads geogrid will provide the additional soil reinforcement necessary for your wall stability. A properly design wall can be constructed to heights exceeding 30-40 feet.
That’s still a little too technical so here it is….
It’s safe to say pretty much any retaining wall over 4 feet or with special requirements might need geogrid (Check with your local building department or engineer).
At All Access we try to keep it as simple as possible. Remember any of our retaining walls can be built using Keystone, Baselite ,Allen block, Belgard ,Redi-rock block system , Versa-Lok or any other system you may think of.

After the Lagos State House of Assembly's Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, was cleared of funds misappropriation, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has said that it would launch an investigation into the allegation.
Obasa was accused of diverting public funds and abuse of office in a series of revelations by SaharaReporters after an investigation into the speaker.
SaharaReporters had reported that Obasa had allocated contracts to himself using third-party channels, as well as owning 60 bank accounts linked to his BVN under different names.
Although, members of the State House of Assembly had dismissed the claims as false, the EFCC Lagos Office via its Zonal Head, Mohammed Rabo, said that the commission will investigate the matter.
Rabo said, “We will give it the required attention. We have our process here. This is the first process. You have submitted. We will go through it. I assure you we will give it the attention it requires. Always do your things within the ambit of the law.”
Members of the Civil Society Network Against Corruption (CISNAC) had picketed the EFCC office demanding that the commission looked into the matter, while submitting a petition to the commission to induce the investigation. | <urn:uuid:1539b176-2d1a-42c1-be45-bae698299aeb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://allnews.ng/news/efcc-to-launch-probe-into-corruption-charges-against-obasa | 2024-04-24T02:26:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.974514 | 264 |
By James Careless
It was the kind of funding news that many first responders were hoping for. On February 22, 2022, FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel proposed using revenues from future spectrum auctions to fund Next Gen (NG) 911 rollouts across the United States. She made the proposal during a speech at Washington’s National Press Club to mark FirstNet’s 10th anniversary.
“Historically, our nation’s 911 systems have been updated through fees on bills and a mix of town, county, and state funding measures. But as with first responder communications, it’s time for a nationwide, digital upgrade,” said Rosenworcel. “Once again, we would be using the auction of public airwaves to support public safety. And the funds would flow to every state and jurisdiction with 911 call centers to help make next-generation 911 a reality nationwide.”
Rosenworcel’s Next Gen 911 funding proposal was welcomed by retired NYPD Deputy Police Chief Chuck Dowd, who spent the last 12 years of his career in charge of New York City’s 911 systems. “I think it’s a great idea,” Dowd said. “Most larger municipalities and counties can usually manage funding these kinds of 911 services. But when it comes to more rural counties and smaller towns, it’s almost impossible for them to fund this on their own. So having a funding mechanism in place on a nationwide basis would be very helpful.”
“I’m quite partial to Chairwoman Rosenworcel’s concept of using spectrum auction proceeds to give an immediate lift to Next Gen 911,” said Fire Chief Jeff Johnson (Ret), CEO of the Western Fire Chiefs Association. “It’s a really rational way to take a national asset, which is spectrum, and leverage it to boost the part of the public safety communications system that’s lagging the most. Her vision is insightful, and I think she has this right.”
“I do think that the strategy the FCC proposed about auction proceeds would be the most reasonable way to secure dedicated funding for NG 911 deployment,” observed Chris Fischer, Past President of the Association of Public-Safety Communications Officials (APCO) International and Interim Deputy Director of the Seattle 911 Center. “I’m not clear on the exact amounts needed for initial funding but I do know that a mechanism needs to be established to support on-going support and operations for those agencies whose 9-1-1 revenues won’t cover the operational costs going forward. Many states have adopted a statewide plan but funding appears to be the holdup for many.”
A Piecemeal Process
At present, Next Gen 911 system upgrades are being funded by local and regional jurisdictions using their existing revenue streams. “Today, a typical 911 agency receives its funding from 911 fees charged by commercial wireless carriers,” said Fire Chief Johnson. “That money filters down to the states, and then down to local governments to run the PSAPs.” In many cases, those local governments count on that money to run small town police departments and rural sheriffs’ departments, he noted. 911 service is just one of the items in their budgets, and often it’s at the bottom of their lists below payroll, police vehicles, and firearms.
Given the low rank of 911 service in this hierarchy, it is not surprising that the Next Gen 911 rollout is a piecemeal process across the United States. Big cities and prosperous rural areas with the tax base to support their police/sheriffs’ departments can afford to use their 911 revenues to finance NG 911 upgrades now. But those who lack such resources have little choice but to put Next Gen 911 on the back burners, until something like the FCC’s proposed funding comes into being.
This analysis aligns with Chris Fischer’s assessment of Next Gen 911 deployments in this country. “Many states have developed NG 911 plans, and deployed networks and mapping to support Next Generation technologies, but this tends to be the more progressive, well funded areas of the country,” she said. “Most states are beginning to undertake planning but still lack the funding to move forward.”
For his part, Fischer advocates a national Next Gen 911 system similar to the FirstNet system. “If there isn’t a nationwide NG 911 network, the chance of success is rather slim,” she said. “Much like FirstNet, there must be a consistent approach to deployment to accomplish all the features and functionality that NG 911 can provide.” This includes being able to acquire, access and share the multimedia data that callers are capable of sending via their smartphones to 911 dispatch centers.
Are Auction Revenues Enough?
As appealing as allocating spectrum auction revenues to fund Next Gen 911 deployments sounds, it is not the same as providing this upgrade process with assured, consistent, and predictable federal funding. So it could be argued that Rosenworcel’s proposal doesn’t go far enough to resolve this financial problem. After all, if events intervene to forestall FCC spectrum auctions for months or even years – because, as COVID-19 proved, unexpected things happen – the 911 community could find itself in the same funding hole it is currently mired in.
“The most ideal scenario would be a regular form of funding, but not on a state-by-state basis,” said Deputy Police Chief Dowd. “We’ve tried the state model before, and too many times the money doesn’t get to the actual 911 systems. So a federal model, with funds going directly to these agencies, would be the best option – as long as actual 911 operational decisions remain at the local/regional level.”
“Dedicated funds are necessary to move this buildout of NG forward and allow all 911 systems to migrate from legacy 911 to take advantage of newer technology,” Fischer noted. “By funding this at a national level, it will avoid the piecemeal approach to implementation and provide an opportunity for all eligible states, territories, and tribal entities to deploy and create a uniform Next Gen 911 experience for all callers in the U.S. Everyone in this country should have equal access to these enhanced services when they have to call 911 regardless of their location, urban or rural.” | <urn:uuid:fc540108-60bd-4acc-a2d8-1d9e97337f60> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://allthingsfirstnet.com/first-responders-applaud-fcc-proposal-to-fund-next-gen-911-with-auction-proceeds/ | 2024-04-24T02:22:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.958255 | 1,340 |
One physician who perpetuated it was Dr Walter Y. Cowl, a New York obstetrician and homeopathist. Writing in 1878, Cowl repeated numerous anecdotal accounts of maternal impression. In Rome, “ugly boors and women with hideous features” give birth to “sons and daughters of surprising beauty” – because they spend their lives looking at “grand statues and paintings”. A Boston lawyer bore a striking resemblance to Napoleon Bonaparte because his parents, obsessed with the French leader, had Napoleon’s picture in their bedroom.
In a cautionary tale to mothers, Cowl cites a case, originally described by Hester Pendleton, of a woman who studied while pregnant:
“For some months previous to the birth of her fifth child [she] exercised her mental powers to their fullest extent. She attended lectures, both literary and scientific, and read much of such works as tended to strengthen the reason and judgement… Her labour, always before short and easy, was this time two days in duration and exceedingly painful, owing to a very large foetal head, with especial prominence of the forehead. The child, a son, now grown, bids fair to outstrip in ability all her other children.” | <urn:uuid:39b47ff6-6492-4ada-a4b9-22ffce120600> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://alphahistory.com/pastpeculiar/1878-study-pregnant-big-headed-children/ | 2024-04-24T02:27:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.957511 | 262 |
The global economy is facing existential risks of disruption in the supply of strategic materials due to impacts from conflicts in many parts of the world, trade tensions, protectionism and difficulties in transport sector.
Vietnam’s Ministry of Industry and Trade has actively discussed with many partner ministries, including the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry to establish a cooperation mechanism to maintain connection and secure the supply chain.
On May 1, 2022, upon the occasion of the official visit of Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio to Vietnam, Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade Tran Quoc Khanh and Mr. Hirose Naoshi, Deputy Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan have officially exchanged the above signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in the presence of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and Prime Minister Kishida Fumio.
The signing of this Memorandum of Understanding gave practical contributions to the results of the visit to Vietnam by the Japanese Prime Minister, as well as creating a framework for cooperation to reduce the risk of supply chain disruption, particularly strategic raw materials for the economy.
According to the agreed content, both sides will regularly share information related to production activities and supply chains between Vietnam-Japan enterprises, which helping to identify cases of supply chain interruption to discuss the necessary measures to resume production and supply chain activities promptly and thoroughly.
To achieve this goal, Vietnam and Japan agreed to hold regular and ad-hoc meetings, especially maintaining communication channel through agencies of the two ministries. | <urn:uuid:34ede696-acda-44cc-9c27-592fbe29f6c3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://als.com.vn/en/vietnam-japans-mou-to-prevent-supply-chain-disuptions | 2024-04-24T02:45:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.935595 | 308 |
Choosing the Right Cable Lubricant
Cable lubricant has become a must-have for any contractor undertaking a wiring or cabling job. Cables today are much better designed and built than they were even until a few years ago. Stronger sheathing, higher quality and more durable casings and designed to bear some strain, such cables a boon for cable installers. However, offsetting that gain, cable installation is tougher now with fewer points of entry and access to cable; cables themselves house more sensitive circuitry, such as fiber optics; and, cables must now navigate spaces more tightly packed with other cables and equipment.
Cable lubricant is therefore a must have on any professional work site. Speaking simplistically, cable lubricant helps to dramatically reduce friction making cable pulls that much better. Reduced friction means less pulling strength has to be transmitted through the cable; less friction along the pulling path reduces damage to the protecting casing of the cable; and reduces the chances of the cable snapping during the pulling operation.
Cable lubricant helps dramatically reduce cable pulling effort, reduces the chance of the cable breaking and reduces heat in surrounding areas.
Cable lubricant has evolved greatly, coming tailored for a variety of applications and in different forms: liquid, gel and spray-on. Which cable lubricant is suited best for you depends on the cable installation and type of cable to be pulled.
Polymer-based cable lubricants are the vogue now, being water soluble and far less likely to cake and leave a residue. Cable lubricants are also tailored to different working temperatures.
Spray-type cable lubricant is a new way to lubricating cables. Simply sprayed on before the cable is pulled, this concentrated formula forms a film around the cable to reduce friction. That said, its application is limited in jobs that require more than one or two persons.
Instead, for such contracting jobs, wire pulling pastes or gels are better bets. In the paste form, the cable lubricant does not run or drip. It means less wasted material and a faster application to boot. It reduces the drag coefficient of the wire and is suitable for overhead cable runs.
Wire pulling gels are better suited to ground level or underground pulling runs. Depending on their viscosity, they may be applied or be poured into the conduit. They are good for longer pulling runs or when the cable is expected to experience high pulling friction. | <urn:uuid:c96f52a2-d074-478e-be1c-aa210f574db6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://amace.ca/choosing-the-right-cable-lubricant/blog.html | 2024-04-24T03:22:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.946321 | 493 |

Over the course of four weeks, students received training in severe thunderstorm forecasting techniques, safe operation of meteorological instruments in severe weather, and potential career tracks in research meteorology. During a one-week field trip, students traveled around the continental U.S. in search of severe weather. Under the instructors’ guidance, students participated in daily weather briefings, fielded instruments, and documented their deployments. Instructors shared relevant observations with local National Weather Service offices via social media and collaborated with other severe weather research groups in the field, helping enhance students’ network of professional contacts. At the end of each operations day, students engaged in reflective journaling to distill lessons learned. On days with no targetable severe weather, students traveled to sites deemed valuable for their professional development, such as the National Weather Center in Norman, Oklahoma, where they met with professional meteorologists. After the end of the SPOTTR course, some students requested to continue working with the instructors in an independent study capacity, further exploring the data sets they had collected. Some SPOTTR data sets have been presented at professional conferences.
We present our findings regarding the SPOTTR course’s impacts on students’ severe weather forecasting skills and career aspirations, along with lessons learned by the instructors. Anecdotally, an overall increase in students’ knowledge level and confidence, along with the enthusiasm displayed in student comments, affirm the efficacy of the overall experiential course design. These results constitute a basis for continuation of the SPOTTR course, and a template for other institutions to follow. | <urn:uuid:fe7a7373-b558-40f7-a76d-ff1a619d34b3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ams.confex.com/ams/98Annual/webprogram/Paper328813.html | 2024-04-24T03:57:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.940543 | 319 |

26 Feb EUPHORBIA TIRUCALLI
Euphorbia tirucalli, more commonly known as the “pencil cactus”, “fire stick” or “milk bush”, is a succulent large shrub or tree within the spurge family. Although normally green in colour, it is known for its bright red, orange and yellow stems that appear to be on fire when exposed to sunlight. Euphorbia tirucalli is a popular plant in Australia due to its eye-catching brightly coloured stems and minimal maintenance requirements.
Euphorbia spp. produce a milky white sap that contains numerous irritant compounds. The sap is released from the plant when it is chewed on, and can cause irritation or an immediate burning sensation of the lips, tongue and throat. Affected animals may start drooling and vomiting will often occur if the plant material has been swallowed. Skin that comes into contact with the sap frequently becomes red and irritated, with reports of dogs developing blisters and burns of the skin after rolling amongst plant material. Eye exposure to the sap is of greatest concern, typically resulting in severe irritation and potentially ulceration of the eye.
Pet owners should be mindful to:
✅ Keep toxic plants in areas that cannot be accessed by pets.
✅ Ensure broken branches or leaves are cleared away after pruning.
✅ Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling these plants prior to touching your pet.

According to MyAnimeList (see Producers section), AnimeNewsNetwork, CrunchyRoll, and a number of less reputable sites, an organization called "Kiyosumi High School Mahjong Club" took part in the production of the Saki anime. For anyone not familiar with Saki, it follows the Mahjong club from Kiyosumi high school as they compete to be the best in the nation. The websites listed all included "Kiyosumi High School Mahjong Club" under production, which is unusual for in-universe organizations.
First, can anyone confirm that this is legitimate and not just an elaborate trolling attempt (e.g. by screencapping the credits)? And if so, what does the organization do? Is it a real high school mahjong club which was used as inspiration for Saki, or were they involved in some aspect of the production process, or were they just thrown in as a sort of shout-out, or something else? | <urn:uuid:2ce53a52-c8f5-4d2a-b22c-c8e060bc0d85> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/2876/is-kiyosumi-high-school-mahjong-club-from-saki-a-real-life-organization | 2024-04-24T02:46:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.974159 | 198 |
Book signing planned at museum
The Union County Museum in downtown Cobden is planning to host a book signing by Mike Estel of Anna from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, June 25.
Estel has released his 19th book of historical fiction.
The book is about a Pennsylvania physician who joins the Union Army. The doctor, John Beatty, was one of the few American doctors who had any experience in battlefield injuries during the Civil War.
Beatty served in the Crimean War with a fellow doctor from England he had met in medical school.
The experience he gained from the European war carried over on the battlefields of the Civil War.
Copies of the book will be available at the museum after the signing. | <urn:uuid:25d94f67-4101-43f3-ae80-838f8f6192a8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://annanews.com/news/book-signing-planned-museum | 2024-04-24T03:49:36Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.982679 | 154 |
Prattware was highly sought after at the sale of the William Blakey Collection – one of the most important and comprehensive private collections of early British pottery to come on to the market in recent years.
Bidding at auctioneers Peter Wilson reached £1,200 on two Prattware teapots c. 1800 (more than 10 times their low estimate). Each had a moulded body, one with a swan finial, the other with a cherub finial, all painted in Pratt colours.
Two further similar teapots sold for £1,100, while another, with dolphin finial and moulded body painted with a verse and a bird in branches, sold for £900, all multiples of their presale estimates.
The collection comprised around 350 pieces dating from the mid 18th to the early 19th centuries and covered such areas of interest as Prattware, Creamware, Pearlware, Black Basalt and Redware from the country’s most important manufactories, as well as a group of wares from early North East potteries inspired by the late Mr Blakey’s childhood years. It was sold in 108 lots, which raised a total of £28,000, more than double expectation.
Mr Blakey was a long-time member of the Northern Ceramic Society and many of the pieces had been illustrated in the society’s journals and publications as well as reference works he had authored.
He was particularly interested in the work of early Staffordshire potter Thomas Lakin and among the most valuable lots was a group of stoneware possibly from his factory. It comprised a dry-bodied three-piece teaset and another teapot moulded with figures and painted with over-glaze blue, sold with a another teapot and a lidded dish with silver handle.
Bidders were more convinced of the Lakin attribution and took the bidding to £1,200, against an estimate of £50-100.
Blakey left his collection to the Northern Ceramic Society, while a small number of pieces had been donated to museums in his memory. The remainder was sold with to raise funds to continue the society’s educational mission. | <urn:uuid:29483140-ce5e-4f1f-98ca-1a90ddf386de> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://antique-collecting.co.uk/2015/10/01/prattware-is-top-draw-at-sale-of-early-english-pottery/ | 2024-04-24T02:14:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.983371 | 455 |

I think most people will agree that if photojournalism is to survive the media revolution the innovations will need to come from the photographers and agencies, because the magazines that used to support them have run out of gas. The only hope really is experimentation and failure. The right business model will involve many different income sources and a myriad of ways to present the stories.
VII photographers agency recently hired former Fortune Magazine photo editor Scott Thode and launched VII Magazine as their platform to experiment and innovate. One innovation that I think has great potential is the photographer interviews they’ve been doing. Infusing the photographers personality into the pieces makes them so much more enjoyable and watchable to me and seems like the opposite of the objectivity and invisibility photojournalists usually strive for. I think VII is different, with the strong personalities of the founding members and their initial foray into advertising the group with canon and their ongoing workshops, these videos are a perfect match.
Vanishing: Antonin Kratochvil
The Consequences of War: Ashley Gilbertson
Paparazzi: Jessica Dimmock
I asked Scott Thode to tell us more about VII Magazine and what they’re up to:
It is hard to describe what it is when in truth, it was and continues to be, a grand experiment. It is an experiment that is very much in a formative stage from an editorial and business standpoint. That might sound strange as it’s been online for two months and any casual viewer can see what’s there, but maybe knowing what’s not there gives a better perspective. There’s no website (it’s online but only as an insert in other people’s sites), there’s only a hint of commercial activity and there is limited content in the various story telling formats we have put together.
I think in some very important ways VII The Magazine is a reaction to what has happened to our industry over the last few years. Photographers have always been seen as “suppliers” (the traditional role of editorial photographers, one or two rungs up the ladder from stationers and utilities but suppliers nonetheless) to the print world. A big question now seems to be who is left to supply and why should we remain dependent on the whims of a dinosaur industry. The question VII asked is why not become publishers and control their own destiny? Obviously the answer to that is VII The Magazine. This is a huge shift in the role of the photographers and the agency that opens up a whole new world with all the possibilities of originating and distributing.
Editorially, the magazine is an editors candy store. There is just a wealth of content to be explored and repurposed in new and interesting ways. When I first came on as Editor in January I felt we needed to be very careful not to overextend what we could do with very little time and no budget. After some discussion we decided to proceed on four storytelling fronts: The Interviews, The Stories, The Videos and The Day. This strategy was important in that we also did not want to compete with newspapers and the newsweeklies. We aren’t a news source. To this end I see us telling stories in a different fashion. I don’t see simple linear tales but hope to break away from a beginning, middle and end format to a nonlinear story telling based on the emotional and visual. I’m really excited about this type of approach because it involves still photos, video, music, text, and audio in various combinations and emphasis.
From the outset, I have always felt that the strength of the magazine and its ultimate success would lie with the personality of the photographers and their personal visions, quirks, and unique way of seeing the world not only visually but editorially as well. They all have something to say and do it in their own way. Initially, my job was finding an interesting way for them to get their visual and auditory voices out there. To this end I came up with the idea of doing “The Interviews”. These are produced videos done in conjunction with Michael Hanna and Protean films where I sit down with the photographer and interview them on a specific subject. We have produced four of these, Ashley Gilbertson, “The Consequences of War”, Jessica Dimmock, “Paparazzi”, Antonin Kratochvil, “Vanishing” and Christopher Morris’s, “Mr. President”.
I have also incorporated the photographer’s voices and video in “The Stories”. These are meant to be less produced and are done by the photographers themselves at home or on the road. They are still asking to hear a point of view about what happened or in the case of Agnes Dherbeys what was happening as the story of the Red Shirt Protests unfolded. This was our first attempt to try to be on the news but with our own unique photographers point of view. I also decided to do wrap up of the story with Agnes that became “UPDATE: Red Shirts” where she summed up in her own words how she felt about what took place. One of my other favorites of this type of story telling is Marcus Bleasdale’s “Fashionista”.
Not all the stories incorporate the photographers. I still love a good slide show with music. One that I am especially happy with is by Ziyah Gafic called “Tito’s Bunker.” Not everybody wants to hear the photographers and not all the photographers want to lend their voices or be on camera. Take a look at “Invisible” with Franco Pagetti.
The Videos are the photographer’s own productions that are unedited on my part. It is a new way of working for many of them and I am very excited seeing what they are doing with it. I love Stefano De Luigi’s “Blanco”, the videos Chris Morris has done on Obama, and Ron Haviv’s Haiti. This is all about approaching stories in new ways and finding new forms of reaching our audience.
Finally there is “The Day” which takes an event that happened on a the specific day you are looking at and uses a photograph from the VII archive that speaks to the event but doesn’t necessarily pertain to it. It is definitely one of my favorite things to do as an editor.
The most difficult part for me is making sure there is a balance of stories from something on the lighter side like Jessica’s Dimmock’s Paparazzi and The Kimbangist Symphony Orchestra by Marcus Bleasdale to a story on Afghanistan by Eric Bouvet or Haiti by VII.
So what’s to look forward to? First, I’m happy to say that recently I became the full time editor of VII The Magazine. We will begin designing our new home for the magazine on the web and on the iPad. We will continue to search for new ways to tell stories in as many new and exciting formats as we can think of. We are also going to begin incorporating writing into the magazine. Yes! The written word does have a place in our hearts.
From a business standpoint, VII The Magazine is designed to be a commercial tool. In the modern environment where innovation and implementation often precede monetization, the evidence for this will have to follow (and I’m not giving away the keys to our thought-bank just yet), but suffice it to say that there is a method in the madness.

§ Mr. ARTHUR LEEasked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether his attention has been called to the overcrowding of H.M.S. "Terrible" on her recent voyage to the East with relief crews; whether he is aware that the total number carried was over 1,100, for which the sanitary arrangements were insufficient, and also the boat accommodation in the event of it becoming necessary to abandon the ship: whether he is aware that the accommodation for officers was quite inadequate, especially for a voyage through the Red Sea in the hot season, and that ten wardroom officers had no accommodation beyond hammocks; and whether he will take steps to prevent this overcrowding in future voyages?
§ The FIRST LORD of the ADMIRALTY (Mr. McKenna)The number stated is approximately correct, and with proper temporary organisation the sanitary arrangements in a vessel of this type should be sufficient. No representation has been received as to the ship being overcrowded, but inquiry will be made of the commanding officer on her return. The number of ward-room officers without cabins was 11. Junior ward-room officers are only entitled to cabins so far as accommodation admits, and in view of the great cost of passages by packet it was decided to take advantage of the Government opportunity.
§ Mr. ARTHUR LEEWill he have this case inquired into in view of the fact that the information has come from a number of officers who have been on the ship?
§ Mr. McKENNAI will certainly inquire on the facts of the case. I understand the numbers given are quite right, but the actual numbers reported to the Admiralty were not quite the same. I will inquire into the whole circumstances. | <urn:uuid:7f84725c-88f5-45e8-ad20-459b7f96931b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://api.parliament.uk/historic-hansard/commons/1909/sep/13/hms-terrible-relief-crews | 2024-04-24T04:31:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.980314 | 354 |

Can Pitbulls Eat Strawberries?
Whether you can feed strawberries or other fruits to your pitbull is a common question among the owners. There are some fruits you should avoid feeding your pitbull.
The strawberries are a healthy and tasty treat for any dog. They are rich in vitamins and antioxidants. You can safely feed them to your dog in small amounts.
- Be mindful of potential hazards such as allergies, digestive irritation, and choking before feeding any fruits to your Pitbull.
- Washing strawberries, chopping them into small bits, and limiting daily servings to a few are all precautions.
- When made properly, homemade strawberry snacks for pitbulls can be a delightful option.
Are Strawberries Safe for Pitbulls?
Yes, Pitbulls may safely eat strawberries. They are in fact a nutritious treat for all dogs, including Pitbulls. Strawberries are high in fiber and low in calories.
Antioxidants and vitamin C are also present in this fruit. They can also aid in dental whitening for your dog. However, it’s crucial to give your pitbull strawberries in a moderate amount. A strawberry overload may upset the stomach. You can give a small amount to your pitbulls if strawberries haven’t been fed to them before.
Can Pitbulls Eat Strawberries? Is There Any Risks?
In general, pitbulls can enjoy strawberries as a healthy and harmless treat. But before feeding them to your dog, there are a few things you want to consider:
1. Allergic Reaction:
Though uncommon, some Pitbulls may have an allergy to strawberries. You should stop feeding strawberries to your pitbull if you see an adverse reaction.
They can have itching and hives. Some dogs may also swell and develop breathing problems.
2. Uncomfortable Stomach:
Consuming too many or unclean strawberries can result in an uncomfortable stomach. Your pitbull might show stomach distress symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, and gas.
Strawberries can cause choking. Therefore, exercise caution when giving strawberries to your pitbull. The strawberries can be chopped or mashed if your pitbull is having trouble chewing or swallowing.
Precautions to Take Before Giving Strawberries to Pitbull
Here are some precautions you must take before you feed strawberries to your pitbull:
- Before giving the strawberries to your dog, you should properly wash them. This will get rid of any chemicals or pesticides that might be on the fruit’s surface.
- Strawberries should be cut into small pieces. Choking will be less likely as a result.
- To begin, try offering your dog a few strawberry pieces to observe how they react. You can progressively offer your dog more strawberries if they aren’t having any issues.
- You should not give more than a handful of strawberries to your dog each day. Strawberries can be unhealthy if consumed in excess. Also, include proteins such as meat and fish in the diet to balance it out.
- Don’t give your dog any strawberry leaves or stems. These could upset your stomach and be challenging to digest.
- Before providing strawberries to your dog, you must discuss any underlying medical concerns with your veterinarian. This is important if your pitbull suffers from diabetes or kidney illness.
- After giving your dog strawberries, keep a watchful eye on them. You should stop giving them strawberries and call your veterinarian right away if they exhibit any health issues or an allergic reaction.
Homemade Strawberry Treats for Pitbulls
The following homemade strawberry snacks are suitable for Pitbulls:
1. Fruit Ice Cream
You can blend frozen strawberries, bananas, and plain yogurt. Do it until the mixture is smooth to make strawberry-banana ice cream. Do not mix grapes as they may harm your dogs’ health.
Now, you can place the mixture in silicone molds or ice cube trays. Then, freeze for at least four hours.
2. Strawberry with Peanut Butter
You can also combine plain yogurt, peanut butter, and strawberries in a bowl. On a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, form the dough into small balls. Until firm, freeze for at least 30 minutes.
3. Strawberry and Oatmeal
Mixing strawberries and oatmeal is a healthy diet for your pitbull. You can start by baking some strawberry oatmeal cookies.
You can also combine other fruits such as apples, bananas, blueberries, and watermelons. After that, mix the fruits and oats. Now, you can add honey and peanut butter and stir.
Drop the dough onto a baking sheet that has been coated with parchment paper in tablespoon-sized pieces. Until golden brown, bake the dish and fully cool it before serving.
4. Additional Tips for the Treats:
You should only use ripe and fresh strawberries. Before using the strawberries, give them a thorough wash. You should not add any extra salt or sugar to your pitbull’s treats.
In the refrigerator, you can keep homemade strawberry treats in an airtight container. These treats can be stored for up to a week in the refrigerator.

Sample Trials and Appeals in Private Practice
Mt. Olive Storage LLC v. L.A. County Tax Assessor. A Ninth Circuit judge hired Polly to represent his family business after several tax lawyers told him the case was hopeless and he should just pay the tax. After a series of administrative hearings, Polly obtained a final judgment lowering the tax valuation of the business from $7.5 million to $2 million.
Cordis Corp. v. Advanced Cardiovascular Sys., Inc., 2000 WL 376416 (D. Del. 2000). Akin Gump represented Dr. Julio Palmaz, the inventor of the stent medical device, which is used in angioplasties to keep previously-clogged arteries from collapsing once opened. Several doctors who worked with Dr. Palmaz claimed they invented the stent. All cases were either settled with the opposition paying damages or were decided in our client’s favor in court.
50-OFF Stores, Inc. v. Banques Paribas (Suisse) SA, 180 F.3d 247 (5th Cir. 1999). Akin Gump’s corporate client, 50-OFF, sued Banques Paribas Suisse (BPS) and Chase Manhattan Bank for conversion of stock when one of BPS’ customers stole 50-Off’s stock worth $6 million that was being held in trust at Chase Manhattan Bank for a Regulation S offering. The jury found Chase intentionally disregarded notices from 50-OFF that the purchasers had not yet paid for the stock, and awarded $13 million in actual and compensatory damages and $138 million in punitive damages.
Barshop v. Medina County Underground Water Conservation Dist., 925 S.W.2d 618 (Tex. 1996). Just three weeks before trial, the Edwards Aquifer Authority hired Akin Gump to represent it. The Authority had been created by a state statute to regulate the withdrawal of ground water for the first time in Texas’ history. Several municipal water districts and citizens sued the EAA, seeking to have the new statute declared unconstitutional so that they could withdraw as much water as they desired. Polly served as second chair at trial and had sole responsibility for drafting the winning brief in the Texas Supreme Court.
San Mateo County Transit Dist. v. Tanforan Park Shopping Center, L.L.C., (San Mateo County Superior Court 2001, Case No. 407836). Polly helped obtain a multi-million judgment in an eminent domain trial involving the value of land at a shopping center that was being taken by BART.
Trinity Universal Ins. Co. v. Bleeker, 966 S.W.2d 489 (Tex. 1998). Polly drafted an amicus curiae brief that was the only brief to raise the winning issue that reversed a $77 million judgment on a $40,000 liability insurance policy. The decision made new law regarding an insurance company’s responsibility for a judgment in all third party liability cases in Texas. | <urn:uuid:5df28d55-16c9-445d-8a7f-c1df307a3b1f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://appellateattorney.com/wins/ | 2024-04-24T03:33:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.957614 | 619 |

The main purpose of the incarnation process is to release the trapped energy within your soul memory. This trapped energy comes from unexpressed thoughts and negative emotions, such as fear, doubt, insecurity, low self-esteem, anger, hatred, jealousy and shame; all of which have been carried inside of your emotional body lifetime after lifetime. Most of these energies have been carried for many incarnations, waiting to be released. It is these subconscious energies that create the blocks in your energy body. The energy body, also called the subtle energy body system, is made up of the physical, emotional/mental and spiritual bodies. When the energy is not properly released from these bodies, it can lead to dis-ease, and prevent you from moving forward in vibration.

ESL has officially announced a deal with Emirates Airline to have on-demand esports content on all their flights through the in-flight entertainment systems. The content has actually been in place since March 2017 and is confirmed up until June 2018.
ESL’s post on their site says:
“This inaugural partnership allows anyone traveling with Emirates to enjoy highlights from some of the biggest esports events in recent history. Relive Na’Vi’s immaculate run through the ESL One New York 2016 bracket. Catch up on the biggest plays, upsets and storylines from Intel Extreme Masters World Championship Katowice 2017 – Astralis lifting their first ever Intel Extreme Masters trophy, TY’s intense StarCraft II grand final match against Stats and Flash Wolves’ success story in the League of Legends bracket.”[perfectpullquote align=”right” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]We can expect the library of mile high esports content to expand.[/perfectpullquote]
Emirates are already involved in esports with the FA holding the Emirates FA Cup FIFA 17 earlier this month. The event was at Wembley Stadium and replicated the format of the Emirates FA Cup—even down to the winner lifting the Emirates FA Cup.
As for ESL and the airline, the available content will include future events as well—ESL One Cologne is mentioned—so we can expect the library of mile high esports content to expand. Torsten Haux is ESL’s VP of global media rights and is quoted in the post:
“At ESL, we are always looking to increase the visibility of esports and are happy to work with Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, on our first inflight entertainment deal. As a truly global company with events all around the world, I’m sure that players and fans will enjoy ESL’s esports highlights as they travel on Emirates airline.”
ESL is not the only gaming content available on the flights with GINX eSports also listed as available according to the programming guide, and hopefully this will be a trend that continues elsewhere—allowing anyone to watch esports and taking it another small step towards the audience not yet watching online. | <urn:uuid:6d352642-ada2-461a-b0a2-56df22d2b204> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://archive.esportsobserver.com/esl-emirates/ | 2024-04-24T02:27:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.929292 | 483 |
Rebekha Sharkie (@MakeMayoMatter) was so committed to the opportunity to represent the electorate of Mayo that she took the bold move to take out a second mortgage on her house and quit her job. Thankfully, the story ended well and her dedication to the community was rewarded with a large swing that secured her the seat under the Centre Alliance party.
The sitting MP for Mayo, Rebekha highlights that she is not an Independent, instead she is a member of the Centre Alliance party, which allows members the autonomy to vote on conscience.
Its website states the party judges all policy on its merits and are always guided by what is in the nation’s best interests.
We believe Australians are fed up with the adversarial politics of the major parties — where striking a blow against the other side and claiming the high ground is more important than working together for the national good.
Centre Alliance believes in a commonsense approach. It does not rely on unions, big business or special interest groups to fund or direct its operations.
Recently, Sharkie teamed up with Wentworth Independent Dr Kerryn Phelps to establish the Parliamentary Friends of Climate Change group. There was a parliamentary friends group of every sporting code possible, yet none for climate change. Establishing this group is one of the many ways Sharkie has been able to contribute to this important debate in parliament.

The Project proposes to construct a standalone RDF boiler facility on the Mt Piper site, adjacent to and integrated with the existing Unit 2 coal fired boiler at the power station. The RDF boiler would use a modern combustion process and advanced emissions control system to produce steam to provide additional energy input to the power station.
EnergyAustralia and Re.Group are proud to publish this Knowledge Sharing Report (KSR) in order to demonstrate the final outcomes of the feasibility assessment of the Mt Piper Energy Recovery Project (the Project). The report is a requirement of the funding assistance ARENA provided to carry out the feasibility assessment.
As the report will be the first published detailed document about the Project, it provides information to assist all interested stakeholders and communities understand the intention and nature of the Project, and the processes to which its final approval and implementation will be subject to.
Purpose of the proposed energy recovery project:
The Mt Piper power station in the Lithgow local government area is owned by EnergyAustralia and has a 1400 Megawatt (MW) capacity providing about 12 percent of NSW’s energy supply. To produce this energy Mt Piper uses about 12,000 tonnes of coal per day.
The key purpose of the Project is to enable Mt Piper to improve the efficiency of the use of its coal supply so that:
- Its coal needs are sustainable regardless of changes in the coal supply market; and
- EnergyAustralia can reduce the carbon emissions profile of the power station in a manner which is consistent with its commitments to maintain the viability of Mt Piper and transition its business to a clean energy future providing reliable and affordable power. | <urn:uuid:908c9dc9-349d-4379-9dd1-5388bdb21a2a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://arena.gov.au/knowledge-bank/mt-piper-energy-recovery-project/ | 2024-04-24T03:05:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.933539 | 327 |

Cryptocurrencies have become increasingly popular in recent years, with the emergence of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital currencies.
But a new cryptocurrency has been making waves in the industry – CMPD Coin. This article will provide a comprehensive overview of what CMPD Coin is, how it works, and it’s potential as an investment opportunity.
So let’s start!
What is a CMPD Coin?
CMPD Coin is a new cryptocurrency that has recently entered the market. It is built on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC), a blockchain that allows for the creation of decentralised applications and smart contracts.
CMPD Coin is the native token of the CMPD (Community Multi-Purpose Development) platform, a social network that connects people and businesses in a decentralised manner.
CMPD Coin is unique because it aims to be more than just a crypto currency. It is also designed to serve as a medium for social networking, allowing users to connect with others in a secure and decentralised way.
In addition, CMPD Coin can be used to purchase goods and services within the CMPD platform and beyond.
How Does CMPD Coin Work?
CMPD Coin is based on the Binance Smart Chain, which uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to validate transactions. This mechanism allows faster transaction times and lower fees than traditional Proof-of-Work (PoW) crypto currencies like Bit coin.
One of the key features of CMPD Coin is its utility. As mentioned earlier, it is the native token of the CMPD platform, which means it can be used to access various services and features.
For example, users can stake their CMPD Coins to earn rewards or use them to pay for advertising within the CMPD community.
CMPD Coin also has a limited supply of 1 billion tokens, which helps to create scarcity and can increase its value over time.
Additionally, the CMPD team has implemented a buyback program, meaning they will use a portion of their profits to buy back and burn CMPD Coins, further reducing the supply and potentially increasing its value.
Facts and Figures:
- CMPD Coin is a new cryptocurrency built on the Binance Smart Chain.
- CMPD Coin is the native token of the CMPD (Community Multi-Purpose Development) platform, a decentralised social networking platform.
- CMPD Coin uses a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism to validate transactions, which allows for faster transaction times and lower fees compared to traditional Proof-of-Work
Potential as an Investment Opportunity
As with any investment opportunity, there are both risks and rewards associated with CMPD Coin. On the one hand, CMPD Coin is a new and relatively unknown crypto currency, which means there is some uncertainty around its potential value and prospects.
On the other hand, the CMPD platform has a strong community and a clear vision for the future, which could drive demand for CMPD Coins.
In addition, CMPD Coin has several unique features that could make it an attractive investment opportunity.
For example, its limited supply and buyback program could create scarcity and increase its value over time.
Furthermore, the CMPD platform itself has the potential to become a significant player in the social networking space, which could drive demand for CMPD Coins as more users join the platform.
CMPD Coin is a new crypto currency that has the potential to become a significant player in the industry.
Its unique combination of social networking and crypto currency features, strong community, and clear vision for the future make it an attractive investment opportunity for those willing to take on some risk.
However, as with any investment, it’s important to research and assess potential risks and rewards before deciding. | <urn:uuid:9c4ae6dc-3e0f-402b-b9a8-5627fe6698fe> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://articlesall.com/what-is-cmpd-coin-everything-you-need-to-know/ | 2024-04-24T03:49:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.958426 | 777 |
DON’T LET PESTS MEANDER ON YOUR OLEANDER
What’s that you see on your thinning oleanders? Is it the pesky pest Syntomeida epilais Walker, more commonly known as the oleander caterpillar? Or the spotted oleander caterpillar moth?
If you live in Southwest Florida, you’re probably seeing an infestation of oleander caterpillars (no spots). If this critter with its stingless, bright-orange body and tufts of long black hair sets its sights on your oleanders, prepare yourself. It’ll be just a matter of days before you see complete defoliation.
Still, no reason to despair. Even though these caterpillars will chomp away at the leaves, they’ll cause no long-term harm to the plant. The blemish is purely aesthetic. Yes, they may consume great numbers of leaves, but if your plants are healthy, new ones will sprout and no one ever know your oleanders had a problem. So why can’t birds just swoop down and snarf these guys up as delicious little snacks? Well, even though birds are often great predators of caterpillars, they won’t get near this pest due to its poisonous diet of oleander leaves. Your options? You can hope the oleander caterpillar’s natural enemies – stink bugs, wasps, and fire ants – will save the day, but a smarter choice would be to contact your professional landscape-maintenance company for other options to eliminate your infestation.
Just remember: a caterpillar’s meander on your oleander needs to be addressed quickly.
More facts: Native to the Caribbean, the oleander caterpillar inhabits Florida year round until the cooler winter temperatures kill it off until the following spring. Its orange eggs are laid in clusters on the bottom of the oleander leaf. Once hatched, the caterpillar begins to feed on its host plant until it’s time to wrap itself in a silk cocoon and emerge as a polka-dot moth. The moth’s five-day lifespan is filled with finding a mate to start the whole process once again.

I just came across this post (well I'm a little late) from archimuse about the Science Museum of London winning the SXSW conference - Best Game and Best of Show... for its Launchball game. That's a great achievement for the museum. It reminds me of this 'dos' game I used to play years ago... I think it was called The Machine, - you had a bunch of little building block materials, and you could build any kind of little machine with it. One of the first sort of virtual erector sets. Anybody else ever played that?
Mike Ellis, worked at the Science Museum and on this project and writes a great blog about the project here.
Launchball is a pretty cool game.
- Its an engaging way to learn about how energy works
The layout of the game is easy to understand and the concepts are really clear. You begin by placing a few 'blocks' containing a battery, or wind turbine, or water heater in the space to get your ball activated and sent to its goal. Then you "TEST" your setup and see if it works yet. Hints are available for Luddites like me who need a little help.
- Its addictive
The game has multiple levels of play that progress with complexity. A good part of my morning got consumed trying to understand how to get the ice melted, by placing the water tank and the heater in just the right location.
- Its participatory
From the very first step, you are asked to participate in creating a solution to each challenge. And once you've explored this you can create your own levels.
- Its social

The main techniques used in xylology include microscopic analysis, chemical analysis, and dendrochronology. Microscopic analysis involves studying wood samples under a microscope to examine their cellular structure and identify wood species. Chemical analysis involves analyzing the chemical composition of wood using various methods. Dendrochronology is the study of tree rings to determine the age of trees and wooden objects. | <urn:uuid:068657c4-16f0-40b8-afd8-a23579e895fc> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://asap.tips/xylology-understanding-the-science-of-wood/ | 2024-04-24T02:39:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.944206 | 1,440 |

These Bollywood stars have become a catalyst for social change by supporting causes they believe in.
Behind the never-ending glamour and high-octane action sequences in the lives of our Bollywood stars, there is a life of gratitude and thoughtfulness. These Bollywood biggies have now become the catalyst for social change. Not only are they associating themselves with social causes, but also are extending monetary help to the issues they believe in. This Independence Day, we take a look at a few of those who have used their name for a good cause.
The actor set an example by aptly using his fan base towards creating awareness. After creating a show like Satyamev Jayate that discussed social issues, the actor went ahead and founded Paani Foundation. Through an experiential training programme, the villagers of rural Maharashtra are equipped with both technical know-how as well as leadership skills to tackle the issue of drought in their villages. “In the next five years, Paani foundation wouldn’t be needed as all the villages will know by then how to do this. They shouldn't need us anymore. I am getting very strong support from the government, not monetarily but also in other ways,” he said.
Kareena Kapoor Khan:
For someone who couldn’t finish her education, Kareena Kapoor Khan has been actively been involved in promoting children’s education and the safety of women. The actress has been a brand ambassador of UNICEF for the last six years. Talking about girl child education, an issue close to her heart, she said, “I didn’t get to complete my education and I know how important it is for children to complete their secondary education. So, it started with the discussion and opened up from there,” says the actor who also took up the issue of neo-natal health after her son was born. The actor has already done field trips to Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and the North East and wants to get involved in reaching out to more people.
“They spoke about things that I found relatable to talk about and people can relate to those issues,” she adds. In 2010, Kareena adopted the village of Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh to provide the village with a regular supply of electricity and later took part in the international campaign, 1GOAL Eduction for All. She was also the ambassador of Shakti Campaign.
The actress likes to remain tight-lipped about her philanthropic activities. But her surprise visit to a rural school in Tamil Nadu made headlines in March. It appears that Katrina has been contributing a portion of her earnings from films and reality shows to the Mountain View School in Tamil Nadu. Her mother Suzanne Turquotte, who is a part of the Relief India Project, is also associated with the school. Despite her hectic shooting schedules, the actress ensures that her monthly donations reach the school on time and occasionally drops in to spend time with the kids.
His movies Toilet: Ek Prem Katha and PadMan have contributed immensely in terms of strengthening conversations around menstrual hygiene and open defecation in the country. But besides this, the actor has also been instrumental in promoting the Swachh Bharat campaign and has paired up with BMC to promote cleanliness drives in Mumbai. The 50-year-old martial arts exponent is also vocal about the cause of women’s safety. “I have been saying this for so many years. Make self-defense compulsory especially for women. It’s wrong for a man to think that he can overpower a woman whenever he wants to and take advantage of her when she is defenseless. I want to use the greatest gift and asset I have with me for the greater good—martial arts.”
The Satyameva Jayate actor has actively been involved in various philanthropic activities. John has helped to raise funds for the poor to build them safe and decent homes and has been associated with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) through its numerous campaigns. The actor believes it’s only when we give back to the society we can foster change. “Unfortunately our country is capital of the World for certain unwanted happenings. I love India but we need to solve corruption, child molestation, rape, and women molestation. If we do not address who will do it,” he says.
Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has been associated with many causes and charities. After polio cases peaked in 2002, he was made the UNICEF goodwill brand ambassador for the Polio Eradication Campaign. In 2015, the actor made a startling revelation about surviving with only 25 per cent of his liver today, having lost the rest to the deadly Hepatitis B virus. Now, he is the goodwill ambassador for spreading awareness on the disease. In an interview to a news channel, he had said, “I am absolutely committed to the cause of Hepatitis. As a person living with Hepatitis-B, I know the pain and sufferings that Hepatitis causes. No one should ever suffer from viral Hepatitis.”
Her Live Laugh Love Foundation aims to reduce the stigma and lack of awareness around mental health in India. The actress herself came out in an interview in 2015 to normalise conversations around depression in a bid to highlight that depression could happen to the best of us. In the same year, the actress founded the Bengaluru based foundation on World Mental Health Day that has been visiting schools around the country to offer sessions for students and teachers. | <urn:uuid:3bde0b38-7b7e-449c-b52e-d1216e8ea543> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://asianage.com/entertainment/bollywood/150818/the-good-samaritans.html | 2024-04-24T02:19:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.974695 | 1,153 |
The primary goal of the Aspen Center for Physics is to nurture cutting-edge research in physics and related disciplines by providing a unique physical and scientific environment ideally suited for stimulating interactions, collaborations and innovation. The summer workshops are designed to maximize informal interactions within areas of physics as well as cross-fertilization between areas. They span a wide range of physics topics, with two or three workshops running concurrently.
The Center invites proposals from the physics community and from researchers in closely related disciplines. Typically, more proposals for ACP summer workshops are submitted than can be accommodated in a given year (typically, about 12 workshops are held each summer). The ACP Summer Program Committee evaluates workshop Letters of Intent and Proposals and recommends a program of workshops to the ACP Members. The aim is to have an exciting, balanced, cross-cutting program that will attract a diverse group of outstanding researchers to come together for free and respectful discussion of the most important unsolved problems, to explore creative ideas, and to continue or forge new collaborations.
If you are interested in submitting a summer workshop proposal, we request that you send a brief Letter of Intent by May 15 using the online link below. The designated contact person should be the organizer who submits the Letter of Intent. The LOI should contain the title of the workshop, the name of at least one organizer, their affiliations and email addresses. In addition it should contain a brief description of the workshop, together with an indication of the current interest and importance of field. If there have been previous ACP workshops on this or related topics in the recent past, it would be helpful to note those. Also please explain why your proposed workshop would be timely, given developments in your field and the past history of workshops in the center.
The purpose of the Letter of Intent is several-fold: First, to enable the Summer Program Committee to have an early overview of the subjects of interest, to help in planning a balanced summer program; second, to enable the Summer Program Committee to provide early feedback to the workshop organizers—this feedback may include encouraging submission of a full proposal (potentially with suggestions to improve the workshop) or, particularly in cases where proposal pressure is very high, discouraging submission where approval of the full proposal would be unlikely; and third, to identify, early on, workshop proposals on similar topics that may be suitable to combine into a single proposal and to give the organizers of those workshops a chance to coordinate their efforts before submitting full proposals. The Committee will provide feedback to LOI proposers by May 30.
For full consideration, proposals must be submitted by June 10. Only one organizer, the designated contact person, should submit the proposal. You will be notified of your status by the second week of August. More than 3-4 organizers is strongly discouraged. Flexibility in dates will significantly enhance the likelihood of proposal success; note that the middle of the season is typically more oversubscribed than the earliest or latest weeks in the summer. Your proposal should include:
- Workshop title. The topic should be related to physics.
- A three-page-or-less description/abstract and justification that presents a compelling case aimed at all members of the selection committee, not only specialists in the topic of the proposal. This should include a discussion of the timeliness of the proposed topic and potential impact for the field.
- A list of preferred, acceptable, and impossible weeks for the workshop, ranked by how many of the organizers, and the fraction of likely participants, are available for each week. As noted above, flexibility on dates may determine whether a proposal can be scheduled (and thus approved); on the other hand, indicating weeks that are impossible for the organizers as acceptable or preferred in order to gain approval is not a winning strategy. In addition, the proposal should indicate the preferred length of the workshop; most workshops are 3 weeks long, but 4- and occasionally 2-week workshops are possible Other scheduling notes you could add are:
- potential timing conflicts with national or international meetings or other workshops
- a preference for a time adjacent to another meeting to increase international participation
- other serious constraints
- A list of organizers, with email addresses and institutions.
- Please Note: all workshop organizers should commit to a stay of at least two-weeks during their workshop
- All proposals must include a diversity plan. The ACP is strongly committed to including under-represented groups in the summer program, and the proposal must include a description of the steps that will be proactively taken by the organizers to achieve a diverse group of applicants. Also, please indicate which workshop organizer will be responsible for working to ensure diversity in the group of people who will apply to participate in the workshop.
- A list of about 40 possible participants, with attention to item #5.
Note: The link below is only active when we are accepting propsals.
A confirmation email will be sent to the organizer who submits the proposal. That organizer can then share it with the other organizers. | <urn:uuid:202bc3e9-adab-4da3-b843-d6467573aba3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://aspenphys.org/summer/proposing-a-summer-workshop/ | 2024-04-24T04:06:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.938173 | 1,020 |

Client Testimonials |
“We would sincerely like to thank you for all the assistance you gave us during the purchase of our home in Sun city Anthem at Merrill Ranch. You definitely exceeded our expectations and your wealth of local knowledge proved invaluable in our getting settled in our new home away from home” Thanks again for everything. - Ken and Luana, Manitoba CA "Joyce helped us find and purchase our dream home in AZ. From our first phone call, Joyce helped us find what we were looking for. She made sure we had all the information, set up appointments on short notice and took the time to show us numerous properties. We highly recommend Joyce and Terry Thomas to any of our friends who need a realtor." - Bev and Joe, Alberta CA My husband and I were referred to Joyce and Terry Thomas by our friends. What a great referral it was! Joyce was so instrumental in setting up appointments on a last minute notice and she ensured the houses we looked at were exactly what was on our list of must-haves. We immediately found a wonderful home and Joyce started the negotiations for us. She truly went to battle and we wound up with a great deal on the home as well as a better deal regarding closing costs. Of course the Thomas team did not stop there. Joyce kept us updated throughout the buying process, sent us lots of pictures of the home, and kept us on track. Just before the purchase of the home, Terry did the final walk-through with us. He pointed out items we would have never seen and did an excellent job relaying the concerns to the builder. Because of Terry, the home was even better than expected. What an amazing experience! – Mike & Tanya - Washington We were very pleased with the efforts of both you and Terry in the listing and selling of our home in Merrill Ranch. The entire process was seamless and efficient. The Thomas Team was on top of all the details necessary to make the closing happen on schedule. I would recommend the Thomas team to anyone interested in buying or selling their home. Thank you very much for all your efforts. – Paul & Iris, British Columbia Canada |

I know today is a holiday, but I couldn’t resist sharing this fun way to sweeten up treats for an upcoming party, a friend’s birthday, or a festive Thursday night. Roll your food, roll your cups, roll your vegetables and even treats in colorful sprinkles! You can roll basically anything in sprinkles, have you ever tried?
They add a bright festive vibe and extra sweet taste to whatever you are serving. My favorite foods to roll in sprinkles are oreos, bananas and avocados (the kids love this one!). To easily roll any type of food: use a finger to place a small dab of water around the whole surface, then roll in a shallow plate filled with sprinkles. If store bought sprinkles are not your thing, remember this recipe to make your own peppermint sprinkles.

Swedes were among the first European settlers of Geneva, Illinois. Pride in their Nordic heritage pervades the culture even today, as it does much of the Upper Midwest. Part of that heritage includes the adventurous Vikings. I’ve found Viking images in a number of trees in the Northern Illinois-Wisconsin area. Below is this nature spirit energy manifested in a mature oak tree on what was once a pioneer farm and is now the LeRoy Oakes Forest Preserve
This tree lives at a major juncture point, leading into the woods then splitting into two major woodland paths. Notice, in the product photo, the Viking spirit’s warrior-honed lean facial muscles, horned helmet and long hair.
To the left is the official Viking mascot logo for Geneva High School. Amazing similarity…
To the right is the view of the tree as seen from the ascending path below him. | <urn:uuid:c9d31a47-c7cf-4edd-aa26-b8eb720f81c4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://atalatoy.com/product/viking-leroy-oakes/ | 2024-04-24T02:43:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.948649 | 181 |
Secular Sunday #8 – News and Views
Time for another Secular Sunday!
In this issue:
- Upcoming Events
- Atheist Ireland has sent a letter to all of the members of the respective Committees on Procedure and Privilege of both the Dáil and the Seanad requesting an end to daily prayers in the Oireachtas. Read it here.
- On Thursday, representatives of Atheist Ireland attended a seminar on racism in the offices of the Irish Human Rights Commission. Ireland has submitted its third report to the Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities. Atheist Ireland is at present preparing a Submission to the Advisory Committee which is due before the end of March. We intend to challenge the Government Report.
- On Friday, representatives of Atheist Ireland attended the Twelfth NGO Forum on Human Rights in Dublin Castle, organized by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs. We raised the cases of Alexander Aan, the Indonesian civil servant facing blasphemy charges because of a comment on Facebook, and of Hamza Kashgari, the Saudi journalist extradited from Malaysia to face blasphemy charges because of a comment on Twitter. It is important for the Irish Government to be made aware of these cases, as Ireland is chairing the OSCE this year, and protection of human rights is one of the issues on the OSCE agenda.
- Monday 20 February, 7:30 pm, Kane Building, University College Cork (map)
A novel three-way debate on the Catholic Church, Islam and secularism. Brendan O’Neill, editor of Spiked magazine, will argue that the Catholic Church is a force for good. Adnan Rashid, of the Islamic Education and Research Academy, will argue that Islam is a force for good. Michael Nugent will argue that secularism is a force for good. After audience contributions, there will be separate votes on each of three topics, allowing people to vote for whatever permutations of the three arguments they agree with. The debate is jointly organised by the UCC Philosophical, Atheist and Muslim Societies, and anybody is welcome to attend. - Friday 24 February 2012, 7:00 pm, J. M. Synge Lecture Theatre, Arts Building, Trinity College, Dublin 2 (map)
The annual Darwin Day Lecture, as arranged by the Humanist Association of Ireland, will be given this year by Dr Stephen Oppenheimer,of the Institute of Cognitive and Evolutionary Anthropology, University of Oxford, on the subject: “Tracking Migrations with DNA: relevance to Britain and Ireland”. All are welcome.
Here are a few opinions on recent events from Irish atheists. They are not necessarily the views of Atheist Ireland and in some cases will be the exact opposite of those of the majority of our members, but they’re no less interesting for that.
- Geoff’s Shorts was present at the recent debate in DIT between Michael Nugent and Hamza Tzortzis. He live tweeted the event and then expanded his thoughts into a blog post.
- datbeardyman takes issue with calls for the government to stop First Communion payments to poor families. He also has an opinion on the prospect of a Papal visit to Ireland.
- The irascible Ian O’Doherty wants a new faith: Common Sense
That’s all for another week. If you have an opinion you want to share, why not visit our forum or join our Facebook group? If you’ve written – or just read – something that you think may be of interest to our readers, send us an email and we may include it in a future issue.
Till next Sunday,
