[Watch] James Hendry chats to Alex van den Heever and Renias Mhlongo about their new book, Changing a Leopard’s Spots
More about the book!
World-renowned wildlife trackers Alex van den Heever and Renias Mhlongo have spent more than two decades working together, tracking leopards and lions at Londolozi, jaguars in South America and grizzly bears in the United States.
In Changing a Leopard’s Spots, Van den Heever shares stories from his life with Mhlongo, including the successes, failures, dramas, laughter, disappointments and highlights.
By challenging each other and learning from one another they break down social, cultural, racial and personal boundaries and obstacles that often divide South Africans; and in the process, the two men forge an unbreakable bond.
In this video, Van den Heever and Mhlongo discuss their book with James Hendry, wildlife presenter and bestselling author:

Back when scientific publications came in paper form, libraries played a key role in ensuring that knowledge didn’t disappear. Copies went out to so many libraries that any failure—a publisher going bankrupt, a library getting closed—wouldn’t put us at risk of losing information. But, as with anything else, scientific content has gone digital, which has changed what’s involved with preservation.
Organizations have devised systems that should provide options for preserving digital material. But, according to a recently published survey, lots of digital documents aren’t consistently showing up in the archives that are meant to preserve it. And that puts us at risk of losing academic research—including science paid for with taxpayer money.
Tracking down references
The work was done by Martin Eve, a developer at Crossref. That’s the organization that organizes the DOI system, which provides a permanent pointer toward digital documents, including almost every scientific publication. If updates are done properly, a DOI will always resolve to a document, even if that document gets shifted to a new URL.
But it also has a way of handling documents disappearing from their expected location, as might happen if a publisher went bankrupt. There are a set of what’s called “dark archives” that the public doesn’t have access to, but should contain copies of anything that’s had a DOI assigned. If anything goes wrong with a DOI, it should trigger the dark archives to open access, and the DOI updated to point to the copy in the dark archive.
For that to work, however, copies of everything published have to be in the archives. So Eve decided to check whether that’s the case.
Using the Crossref database, Eve got a list of over 7 million DOIs and then checked whether the documents could be found in archives. He included well-known ones, like the Internet Archive at archive.org, as well as some dedicated to academic works, like LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe) and CLOCKSS (Controlled Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe).
The results were… not great.
When Eve broke down the results by publisher, less than 1 percent of the 204 publishers had put the majority of their content into multiple archives. (The cutoff was 75 percent of their content in three or more archives.) Fewer than 10 percent had put more than half their content in at least two archives. And a full third seemed to be doing no organized archiving at all.
At the individual publication level, under 60 percent were present in at least one archive, and over a quarter didn’t appear to be in any of the archives at all. (Another 14 percent were published too recently to have been archived or had incomplete records.)
The good news is that large academic publishers appear to be reasonably good about getting things into archives; most of the unarchived issues stem from smaller publishers.
Eve acknowledges that the study has limits, primarily in that there may be additional archives he hasn’t checked. There are some prominent dark archives that he didn’t have access to, as well as things like Sci-hub, which violates copyright in order to make material from for-profit publishers available to the public. Finally, individual publishers may have their own archiving system in place that could keep publications from disappearing.
Should we be worried?
The risk here is that, ultimately, we may lose access to some academic research. As Eve phrases it, knowledge gets expanded because we’re able to build upon a foundation of facts that we can trace back through a chain of references. If we start losing those links, then the foundation gets shakier. Archiving comes with its own set of challenges: It costs money, it has to be organized, consistent means of accessing the archived material need to be established, and so on.
But, to an extent, we’re failing at the first step. “An important point to make,” Eve writes, “is that there is no consensus over who should be responsible for archiving scholarship in the digital age.”
A somewhat related issue is ensuring that people can find the archived material—the issue that DOIs were designed to solve. In many cases, the authors of the manuscript place copies in places like the arXiv/bioRxiv, or the NIH’s PubMed Centra (this sort of archiving is increasingly being made a requirement by funding bodies). The problem here is that the archived copies may not include the DOI that’s meant to ensure it can be located. That doesn’t mean it can’t be identified through other means, but it definitely makes finding the right document much more difficult.
Put differently, if you can’t find a paper or can’t be certain you’re looking at the right version of it, it can be just as bad as not having a copy of the paper at all.
None of this is to say that we’ve already lost important research documents. But Eve’s paper serves a valuable function by highlighting that the risk is real. We’re well into the era where print copies of journals are irrelevant to most academics, and digital-only academic journals have proliferated. It’s long past time for us to have clear standards in place to ensure that digital versions of research have the endurance that print works have enjoyed. | <urn:uuid:87c3dcc7-b258-4cfd-a4f5-fbc641b06fe2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://readnews.ai/study-finds-that-we-could-lose-science-if-publishers-go-bankrupt/ | 2024-04-24T03:03:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.963102 | 1,128 |
Maple Venison Breakfast Links
Sausage links are always a big hit around our house or deer camp. These are made with a combination of venison, pork butt, and bacon for a nice sausage consistency and slightly smoky flavor.
While the process is fairly simple, it does take some equipment. A grinder is a must, as is a sausage stuffer or jerky gun. You will need casings of some sort, we use 21mm collagen casings, but natural 19-21mm sheep casings will work as well. If your local butcher shop doesn't stock casings, there are multiple online retailers that do. I learned a long time ago that a meat mixer is worth its weight in gold when blending sausage, but it isn't really necessary, you can blend the seasonings well enough by hand, it just takes a while.
For 10 pounds of breakfast links
6 pounds venison, trimmed and chunked
3 pounds of pork butt, cut into chunks
1 pound of bacon, diced
1 cup maple syrup
1 cup ice water
21mm collagen or natural casings
Seasoning bend (mix well)
3 Tablespoons kosher salt
3 Tablespoons black pepper
3 Tablespoons ground sage
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (more to taste if you like it spicy)
1 teaspoon rosemary
1 teaspoon ground coriander
Begin by grinding the meat. I like to run the meat through at the correct ratio, but everything will be mixed well by the time the seasonings are blended in.
Vacuum seal the links then freeze for maximum storage time. | <urn:uuid:b300e347-164c-430b-a8c2-22f573d8fb13> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://realtree.com/timber-2-table-wild-game-recipes/maple-venison-breakfast-links | 2024-04-24T04:21:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.919875 | 331 |

The next morning he was seen arriving on the block and making h
is way halfway over to where Redbush and family were camped. Mr. Redbush decided to tak
e a package of moose hamburger out of the freezer to feed it to
him towards evening. He grabbed the hamburger in his talons, and made his way to a spot a little away from where they had given it to him. He dug into the frozen meat and ate the better of most of the pound. That evening, while eating their late supper, Redbush happened to look out their camper window to
see him flying past their unit back to his block. When Mr. Redbush ventured over around 9:oo P.M. that night, baby bald flew off into the horizon and was never seen again for the remainder of their camping trip. Redbush was happy to know that perhaps finally he had found his wings, and would survive. Redbush is having trouble loading pictures at this point because her server isn't working, but will try later. She hopes everyone is having a superb week! | <urn:uuid:3d51f05c-ad1f-441c-aad8-3a91762da248> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://redbushsbrambles.blogspot.com/2010/09/ | 2024-04-24T03:18:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.994924 | 237 |
Redcar Athletic look to rewrite their fortunes, as Northallerton Town visit Green Lane for Friday night football.
With expectations high, Redcar’s opening week of the season proved rather drab.
The Steelmen suffered a shock opening day defeat to Birtley Town, before being dealt an early exit from the Emirates FA Cup at the hands of Tadcaster Albion.
Tonight’s affair proves an opportunity to start afresh, but a tough one at that.
First team boss Gary Forster commented on Northallerton’s quality, framing astute summer recruitment as their greatest threat.
“He (Northallerton Head Coach Paul Edwards) has recruited really well in the summer, and so I expect them to be top eight come the end of the season.
“No matter what, I expect a full bloodied derby affair today, by two really good sides.”
Here’s everything you need to know about tonight’s encounter…
WHO ARE YA?
Formed in 1881 as Northallerton Football Club, today’s visitors have competed under a multitude of names, including Northallerton Central, and Northallerton Alliance.
The club bounced around the local leagues for the majority of their existence, before finally settling in the second division of the Northern League in 1982.
Northallerton’s first Northern League outing took them to Ryhope CA (now known as Sunderland RCA), where they suffered a 4-1 defeat, before gaining their revenge a week later in the reverse fixture.
The club suffered a huge scare in the late 90s, as a local businessman was forced to step in to rescue them from financial insolvency, as they were days away from folding.
For the coming campaign, Northallerton have recruited well, and pose a much more significant threat than some have given them credit for.
Tonight’s encounter will prove hard-fought, and tight, with a number of familiar faces desperate to haunt Redcar in their Green Lane return…
LAST TIME OUT
Redcar Athletic scored an impressive double over Northallerton last season, fighting back on both occassions from a position of dropped points.
Much like tonight, Town visited Green Lane early in the season, pegging the Steelmen back after Sonni Coleman converted from Isaac Walker’s pullback cross.
Young Alfie Conway stepped up to clinch the match-winner with 20 minutes to go, turning another pinpoint delivery from Walker into the back of the net, with a slight deflection on its path to goal.
The return fixture took place on a cold January evening, where Northallerton lead at the interval through Marske United loanee, Joey Hope.
Donny Holdsworth’s flicked header started the Steelmen’s triumphant response, before club captain Anthony Bell notched his first goal for the club to gain the advantage.
It was Alfie Conway once again who put the seal on another five-star performance, keeping his composure to beat the ‘keeper, and squeeze the ball home from a tight angle.
Northallerton completed a number of high profile signings over the summer, and two of which will be all too familiar for those of a Redcar persuasion.
Signed on loan towards the end of the 2021/22 season, McKenzie Diccico was a versatile winger, whose tenure at the club was cut short due to a horrific injury.
Diccico has since returned to Green Lane with Guisborough Town, scoring the opening goal for the Priorymen, before an Isaac Walker hat-trick claimed all three points for the ten-man Steelmen.
The wide man is joined in Town’s new cohort by none other than Craig Hutchinson, a man who proved vital to Redcar’s success last season.
The forward scored a number of important goals during his stay, including a debut hat-trick against his former club, Thornaby, and is certain to pose a threat this evening.
Alongside his eye for goal, Craig boasts an invaluable playmaking ability, teeing up a catalogue of chances last season, as he and Donny Holdsworth established the perfect link up.
Hutchinson is a big miss for Gary Forster’s side this season, and certainly one to watch tonight for the visitors.
With a poor start to the season, Gary’s team choices are yet to be seen, as potential changes are in the offing.
The only certainty is the absence of the two long-term injuries, Donny Holdsworth and Joe Ferguson, who are both due back later in the calender year.
Goalkeeper Jack Norton is aslo still serving a suspension, although has now been placed on the transfer list ahead of the new campaign.
From programmes to admission, here’s all of your matchday information ahead of Friday night football at Green Lane.
Fans can begin to make their way through the turnstiles at 6:00pm this evening, ahead of kick-off at 7:30pm.
Entry will cost £7 for adults, £4 for concessions, and £2 for u16s.

You definitely need to be drinking/ taking electrolytes if you drink that much water. Not necessarily in the water, but at some point in the day, you needs to get some. We are really prone to electrolyte imbalances, and that much water will definitely do it.
I drink ~64oz plus what I drink with meals. My doctor says 90oz, but still seems ok with my amount. I keep my bottle with me everywhere, and at night. It is a 32oz bottle (this one ) so it is still small enough to easily carry and I don't feel like I am lugging around a jug everywhere. The longer you drink more, the more your body will grow accustomed to it and your body will start to crave that much water. For me at least, I started to not have to actually think about drinking too often and my body just kinda did it.
You could try a water/hydration app. I don't have any to specifically recommend (though others might), but that could help.

Lanquín, one of the tribes conquered by a group of friars, among them: Fray Pedro Angulo, Fray Luis de cancer and Mr. Rodrigo de la cerda, was based on the year of 1540. Between 1540 and 1550, its first catholic Church was built, the one that was founded with the name of San Agustin.
Originally, this church was made up of ranch straws but later on it catching fire and resulting in a large sum of deaths led to its reconstruction in 1574.This was however possible after a set of Spanish rules and regulations were agreed upon. In 1810, a significant portion of the building was lost to an earthquake after which the current civil market is found on the debris and foundation of what was a piece of the Church.
By presidential agreement of May of the year 1956, Lanquín by its natural beauties and that constitute one of the greater tourist attractions of the country, was declared NATIONAL PARK. In 1970 Lanquín was declared NATIONAL MONUMENT (artistic, tourist. etc.) and in 1997 by presidential agreement was declared CULTURAL PATRIMONY.

It is 29th April 2017. We celebrate the memorial of St Catherine of Siena, Doctor of the Church. The readings are from Acts 6:1-7 and the Gospel from Jn.6:16-21. The first reading clarifies the dilemma of the Apostles whether to serve the Word to God’s people or to serve the poor in feeding their physical hunger. In this context, the deacons were appointed to take care of needs of the poor as the church delivers the message of Love, Peace and Compassion. Hungry person is indeed an angry person. When physical needs are deprived in a person, the higher levels of needs cannot be met easily. People find it hard to listen to the Word of God when they are hungry physically. In the 1st reading we heard about the Hellenists complaining against the Hebrews. Until now what we had been hearing was a united and loving early Christian community. The situations change even in the church and spiritual settings. People gossip, and complain and destroy the unity of the church when they forget who they need to prioritize. When our preferences in serving for popularity and positions, we neglect or choose to forget the poor and the most vulnerable amidst us. We refuse to accept corrections and a new perspective in times of pain and confusion. It is for God whom we serve. Winds of support and encouragements change by time and situation; yet our priority for the people who are less fortunate must be given the utmost priority. Serving the poor is indeed the signs of the times parallels the preaching of the Word. We cannot neglect one over the other. The responsorial Psalm acclaims, “May your love be upon us, O Lord, as we place all our hope in you.” (Ps.32:22). The Gospel encourages us not to be afraid of wind and rough sea in the walks of lives. Whatever the confusing, painful and distressful situation we are in, Jesus walks on towards us and leads us all to experience above the mighty waters that threaten our unity and peace of mind. “It is I, Do not be afraid.” (Jn.6:20). Jesus wants to fill us with his Body and Blood before he invites to listen to Him. Let the Eucharist satisfy our hunger so as to be filled by His nourishing and healing Words of Jesus. May you have a good day. | <urn:uuid:9f932d22-7785-4593-9dc4-d0008b4aced4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://reflectionsofpeter.org/6569-2/ | 2024-04-24T03:21:40Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.961384 | 486 |

Ethel Lombardi was a Reiki master trained by Takata. Lombardi’s student, Elaine Andres, remembers Ethel telling her students they weren’t allowed to give a Reiki treatment to someone else on a day they didn’t practice self-treatment.
Self-practice is the beginning and remains the foundation of Reiki practice at all levels.
Do you resonate with the universe?
Daily self-practice moves us into what Reiki masters Hyakuten Inamoto and Hiroshi Doi refer to as resonating with Reiki, meaning “we are at one with the universe.” In this state, we have transcended duality; we experience oneness and realize there is nothing to be protected from, and we are safe.
As Inamoto and Doi said,
…as long as we resonate with the universe, there is no opposite, such as good or bad. All good, so we don’t have to worry about protecting ourselves when we offer Reiki healing.
As long as we resonate with the universe.
Fortunately, you don’t have to be permanently established in this state in order to treat others safely. But you do need a steady mind, especially when you are treating others. It’s easier to have a steady mind when you have confidence in your Reiki practice.
When you have confidence in your Reiki practice–the true, grounded confidence that only comes with practice experience–you are more likely to remain resonating with the universe when treating others, and to avoid ruminating about the client afterwards. As Takata said, Do your best and walk away.
How can you know if you are safe?
You are safe when you are calm, mindful, and present. You may not be safe if:
- you are worried about what’s happening with the recipient
- you are trying to fix the recipient
- you are trying to have a specific outcome
- you have an emotional need to impress the recipient
- you feel sorry for the recipient
- you cannot witness another’s suffering with a placid mind
- you are insecure in your practice, perhaps due to inexperience
- you don’t know the difference between compassion and sympathy.
These are just some of the scenarios in which you may be in danger. But not from Reiki; from your mind.
How can you know if you are safe? By the state of your mind. Is your mind steady and peaceful?
How can you keep your mind steady and peaceful? Daily Reiki self-practice.

How it works
Reliably can handle the task of running your experiments for you. It’s a great way to get started and allows teams with various technical levels to run experiments without having to install anything.
Your pricing plan defines how long each experiment can take, as well as your total allowed time per month. Your remaining run time is available on your organization page External link will open in a new tab.
Use Github Workflows to run experiments without having to set up anything. Reliably will create a GitHub workflow and use it as your execution environment. Additional billing from GitHub might occur depending on your usage.
Use Kubernetes to run experiments without having to set up anything. Reliably will create a Kubernetes Job and use it as your execution environment.
Reliably relies on Chaos Toolkit to run experiments. It means you can benefit from its versatility and run Reliably pretty much anywhere. Use the Reliably CLI in your environment, as a CI/CD, a container, or a terminal, and it will get everything it needs from your plan and deployment.
With an Enterprise Subscription, Reliably can be installed on-premises entirely
In that case, the Reliably Cloud is not available as a deployment target but other, bespoke deployments targets can be enabled: Docker (in which case you provide your own image), Kubernetes, etc. | <urn:uuid:103a4250-ad54-4859-b841-02014188ac8b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://reliably.com/docs/how-it-works/ | 2024-04-24T02:41:11Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.941933 | 284 |
If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
— 1 Corinthians 3:14
It is a fact that one day we will all stand before Jesus. On that day, each of us will give account for what we did with our lives. We’ll answer to Him for what we did, what we didn’t do, and what we should have done with our lives. On that day, there will be no hiding or twisting of facts. Hebrews 4:13 (NIV) says, “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” Make no mistake — Jesus sees it all! One day He will deal with us, and we will give an account. So if we’re smart, we will ask and discover the answer to the question: On what basis will you and I be
rewarded when we get to Heaven?
Today I want us to look at a very important verse in which the apostle Paul answered that question for us. In First Corinthians 3:14, Paul wrote, “If any man’s work abides which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.”
*[If you started reading this from your email, begin reading here.]
Notice that Paul said, “If any man’s work abide….” What does the word “abide” mean? It comes from the Greek word meno, which means to stay, to remain, to continue, or to permanently abide. It gives the idea of something that lasts, remains, persists, or endures. It speaks of something that has lasting power. Implied in this word “abide” is the idea that tests will come in life that will try our works.
It is just a fact that tests come in life. Many wrongly assume that God is the source of all such tests, but I assure you that life by itself will send many tests your way. Your relationships, your job, your finances — all of these will be tested along the path of life, and God’s participation is not needed to make these tests happen. They are just part of the package of life. But in addition to this, the devil will try to test your works. If he can find a way to do it, the enemy will pry his way into as many of your affairs as possible. He would love to set fire to your relationships, your job, your finances, or anything else that you hold dear.
So be assured that between life and the devil, you will encounter fiery tests in the course of your life. I’m not prophesying bad news to you; rather, I’m endeavoring to equip you to build your life right so you can withstand every test, regardless of its source. If you have built your works right, you and your works will pass the test. But if you have built works made of wood, hay, or stubble (see 1 Corinthians 3:12), one of these tests will ignite them like a match set to hay!
The good news is that even if your works fail and are consumed before your eyes, underneath you is a foundation that is immovable! In First Corinthians 3:11, Paul said, “For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.” Jesus is your Foundation! As we saw in yesterday’s Sparkling Gem, the word “foundation” in this verse is from the Greek word themelios. It is a compound of the words lithos, the Greek word for stone, and the word tithemi, which means to lay something down, like the laying of a foundation. This describes a foundation set in stone and thus a foundation that is strong, stable, and enduring. Even if everything else burns, your foundation will remain intact!
But who wants to lose everything in the end? There will be no special rewards for works that burn! In fact, Paul says we will only be rewarded for works that “abide.” If only works that survive will merit a reward, we must be very careful in the way we build our works.
So let me ask you: How are you building your life, your relationships, your children, your job, your ministry, and so on? Paul says, “If any man’s work abides which he hath built thereupon….” The words “built thereupon” are from the Greek word epoikodomeo, which is a compound of the words epi and oikodomeo. The word epi means upon, and the word oikodomeo is a word borrowed from the world of construction. It means to build or to construct. When these two words are compounded as in this verse, the new word means to build on top of something.
The apostle Paul was alerting us to the fact that once the foundation of Jesus Christ is laid in our lives, it is our responsibility to build on top of that foundation. This foundation cannot be improved upon, but what is built on top of it depends on us. We can build marvelous structures that endure the test of time, or we can build shacks that crumble and eventually go up in a puff of smoke. What is built on top of the foundation depends on us.
When the fires of life come — and they will come — those fires will reveal the quality of what we have built. Works that were built wrong will burn, and works that were built right will endure. And Paul assured us that we will be rewarded only for the works that abide. Man measures man’s success by activity and earthly achievement, but God measures success by how well we built our works and by the longevity of our works. As impressive as works may be at the moment, if they don’t pass the test of time, they will not merit a reward. That is why the Bible declares, “If any man’s work abides which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.”
The words “shall receive” point to a future moment when each of us will stand before Jesus. At that moment, the books will be opened, and Jesus will carefully examine our lives. He will look to see if our works survived or if they failed in the fires of life. By looking at His ledger, He will know if we built our lives thoughtfully in a manner that brought honor to His name or if we built shacks on top of the glorious foundation He established under us through the riches of our spiritual inheritance in Him.
If our works were built right and endured the tests of life, Paul says we will receive a “reward.” The word “reward” is the Greek word misthos, an old Greek word that denotes pay, salary, or reward. In other words, Jesus will make sure you are well-compensated and rewarded for all of your works that were built right! When you stand before Him and He sees that your life and works survived every test, you will receive full remuneration for every sacrifice you made. Because you built your life and works correctly, you’ll get a bonus that will last for all of eternity!
This verse could be taken to mean:
“Every person is set on a rock-solid foundation, but what he builds on top of it is his responsibility. If he has constructed his life and works so well that they remain after all the fires of life have come and gone, this is what will merit him a reward in the future.”
What a shocking insight this is! It means that as important as we think our activities are, God’s measuring stick by which He determines rewards is not determined by how busy or active we are in life. His measuring stick is how well we accomplished our activities according to His instruction and whether or not our actions were built to survive the fires of life. Why would God reward us for anything we built that ultimately went up in a puff of smoke because of our shoddy workmanship or because our building materials were mixed with wrong motives and “good ideas” that were not “God’s ideas”? He is looking for obedience, excellence, permanence, and durability. These are the qualities that give Him glory.
Take a moment to look at your life today. What can you ascertain about your future reward based on the character of your actions? Have you built your life and works in a way that gives glory to Jesus? Jesus Christ is your glorious Foundation, but what have you built on top of that foundation? Have you constructed something marvelous that honors Him and gives Him glory, or have you built your life and works so fast and cheap that they can’t endure the many tests of life?
Since we will be rewarded only for what “abides,” we must ask the Holy Spirit to help us take an honest look at our lives to see what has been built right and what has been built wrong. It’s never too late to start doing it right. If you’ve built your life and works on such a solid foundation that it can pass any test, then rejoice! But if you know that your works aren’t built to survive, now is the time for you to let the Spirit of God help you start all over again!
If your works have already burned, this is very regretful. But the good news is your foundation is still in place. The foundation of Jesus Christ in your life is immovable! Because you still have Him as your Foundation in your life, with God’s help you can start building your life and works again. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you, and He’ll show you how to build better this time!
MY PRAYER FOR TODAY
Father, I thank You for speaking to me today through what I just read. Now I understand that You are looking for excellence, permanence, and durability in my life. Forgive me for thinking that You would reward me only for being active and busy. Now I understand that You want quality from my life, not just quantity. You are looking for more than a lot of works – You are looking for works that remain! From this moment onward, I ask You to help me constantly take an honest appraisal of what I am doing and what I am building to make sure that I am investing myself wisely into works that will endure the tests of life. I want You to be pleased the day I look into Your eyes, so I am asking You to help me carefully measure my works and to make sure that I am living and building my life in a way that will merit a reward.
I pray this in Jesus’ name!
MY CONFESSION FOR TODAY
I confess that the Holy Spirit is helping me to build my life and works so strong that they will resist any test that comes in life. I am living by the Word of God, listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit and obeying God’s commands. As I walk in obedience to the Word of God and build my life on this solid foundation, I can rest assured that what I am building will pass the test of time. I am committed to living a life of excellence, to building my life for permanence, and to bringing glory to the name of Jesus Christ in all that I do.
I declare this by faith in Jesus’ name!
QUESTIONS FOR YOU TO CONSIDER
- As you look at your life, can you see areas of your life that because you built too quickly and too cheaply, they therefore didn’t last very long? What were those areas, and what did you learn from these experiences?
- As you look forward to the rest of your life, how are you constructing your life and works right now? What steps and actions are you taking now that are different from what you did in the past to assure that your works will abide?
- If you saw someone else building their works in a way that wouldn’t resist a fiery test, what would you tell them to do differently in order to prevent a painful loss? Can you think of such a person that you know right now? Pray that you or someone else will have an opportunity to speak the truth to them in order to help them avoid a catastrophe later in life. | <urn:uuid:6028b2ec-8627-4fe2-91c0-1cc4da405048> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://renner.org/article/on-what-basis-will-you-be-rewarded/ | 2024-04-24T02:43:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.972584 | 2,591 |
Plane spotters with £2.99 app expose top secret UK spy plane off Russia: Highly-classified mission involving £650m aircraft is watched by thousands online
Source: Daily Mail
- A top-secret British spy plane was tracked using a £2.99 mobile phone app
- The £650 million RAF aircraft, called Rivet Joint, could be seen at 27,000ft
- Monitered as it tried to gather intelligence about a Russian base on the Baltic Sea
A top-secret British spy plane was tracked using a £2.99 mobile phone app as it flew on a daring mission to eavesdrop on Vladimir Putin’s air defences.
The £650 million RAF aircraft, called Rivet Joint, could be seen at 27,000ft as it tried to gather intelligence about a heavily defended Russian base on the Baltic Sea.
A minute-by-minute record of the highly classified mission to study the Kaliningrad naval air base was watched by hundreds of thousands of people on the internet, and details were shared on Twitter.

Radar pictures on social media suggested the RAF jet flew to within 60 miles of the Russian base at 478 knots, accompanied by American spy planes and F-35A stealth jets.
The joint UK-US operation, launched last Tuesday, came at a time of high tension between President Putin and Nato and just days after British troops began manoeuvres in Estonia intended to prevent a Russian invasion.
Last night, former Air Commodore Graham Pitchfork warned that websites such as Flightradar24.com and Planefinder.net had made it almost impossible for the RAF to maintain operational secrecy.
He said: ‘There’s not much these clever geeks can’t watch and share with the world. The speed of transfer of the information and the ease with which it is shared is remarkable.
‘I find it slightly odd that these people want to track our military spy planes everywhere, but there you go.
‘It is right that the issue is highlighted but I fear we’re going to have to live with it.’ The 146-ton Rivet Joint and her 27-strong crew took off from RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire on Tuesday morning. The 136ft-long aircraft was later seen crossing the North Sea and flying over Denmark.
Open Secret: The £650 million aircraft was tracked near a naval air base
Plane-spotters logged the aircraft’s speed, direction of travel and flight number as she approached the Russian coast.
Security experts said the plan was for Rivet Joint to fly behind the F-35As and respond electronically to any attempt by the Russians to track the F-35As.
Justin Bronk of the Royal United Services Institute think tank explained: ‘Rivet Joint takes a very sensitive reading of Russian air defences, such as their search radars. It is very useful for the UK and US to know the sorts of patterns that the Russians’ frequency-agile radars operate with.
‘The UK and US aircraft were most likely trying to provoke a response, because usually the Russians wouldn’t broadcast their highest end radar waveforms for Britain and the US to collect and analyse.’
The Mail on Sunday has previously revealed how, using the Flightradar24 app and mobile phones, terrorists could have tracked Prince William’s air ambulance helicopter
Mr Bronk said Rivet Joint’s position was revealed by its transponders which can only be turned off in a war zone.
‘European airspace is extremely crowded so there is a limit to what it can do silently,’ he added. Transponders record an aircraft’s position using GPS satellites, then broadcast the information to ground stations monitored by the likes of Flightradar24.
Defence sources said the RAF is mandated by the International Civil Aviation Organisation to ensure that in peacetime its aircraft comply with safety procedures, including the use of transponders.
The Mail on Sunday has previously revealed how, using the Flightradar24 app and mobile phones, terrorists could have tracked Prince William’s air ambulance helicopter.
Last night, a Ministry of Defence spokesman said: ‘The RAF has a wide variety of cutting-edge intelligence-gathering capabilities, which may be used in association with our allies, to obtain vital intelligence across the globe. As a matter of policy we do not comment on speculation on operational or intelligence matters.’ | <urn:uuid:604e63e9-1ec1-4305-bf0c-a9ea339f12e3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://republicbroadcasting.org/news/plane-spotters-with-2-99-app-expose-top-secret-uk-spy-plane-off-russia-highly-classified-mission-involving-650m-aircraft-is-watched-by-thousands-online/ | 2024-04-24T03:52:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.958698 | 972 |
Suffering for others in the theology of Edward Schillebeeckx
Edward Schillebeeckx has consolidated the theoretical and practical dimensions of the Christian approach to human suffering in his theology of suffering for others. His concept of beneficial suffering is defined in a two-fold way: (1) compassionate, inter-subjective service to individuals and (2) a critical orientation to unjust socio-political structures that dehumanize or oppress people. Suffering for others can take several forms, which are not perceived as exclusive of each other: suffering vicariously, instead of others; suffering with others for their benefit; and expiatory self-sacrifice. In Schillebeeckx's theology, suffering in any form is redemptive when it is unmitigated self-surrender through and for others in unwavering communion with God. Schillebeeckx also perceives mystical communion as redemptive, especially the suffering of the via negativa, or paradoxical experience of perduring faith in God's presence mediated by the negativity of God's absence. The two kinds of redemptive suffering are related in Schillebeeckx's theology in the following way. Both suffering for others and the mystical, apophatic experience of God provide access to knowledge needed to alleviate suffering. In Schillebeeckx's view, ethical consciousness is not simply a value transmitted by tradition and honed through discipline. Human beings are endowed with the capacity for contemplative knowledge and redemptive activity through a personal encounter with transcendent reality, or grace. Moreover, ethical praxis necessarily occurs within social structures, which constitute the historical medium in which grace is made manifest. This dissertation encompasses Schillebeeckx's concern with both the theoretical and practical, or symbolic and ethical, aspects of the Judeo-Christian traditions in his theology of suffering for others. Although the theme of redemptive suffering is not presented systematically in the body of Schillebeeckx's work, its various elements and sources can be gleaned from his later writings, especially those published during the 1970s and 1980s. His conception of suffering for others is anchored in the social critical theory of the Frankfurt School and a historical reconstruction of Jesus and the early church, specifically: (1) Theodor Adorno's “negative dialectics” and Argen Habermas's unification of theory and praxis; and (2) images of selfless service or redemptive suffering in eschatological Jewish and Christian texts correlated with critical concepts derived from interpretations of Jesus' identity in primitive Christianity and from social critical theory. Together with critical theory, the images and concepts shape the contours of Schillebeeckx's theological-ethical praxis.

National AIDS councils (NACs) were established in many African countries to co-ordinate the multi-sectoral response to HIV/ AIDS. Their main mandate is to provide strategic leadership and co-ordinate activities geared to fight against HIV/AIDS. This study sought to understand the extent to which NACs have achieved their goals and the challenges they face. Best practices were identified and shared among countries involved, so as to enhance their efforts. This review is crucial given that the fight against HIV/AIDS is far from being won. Data for this study were collected from five countries: Ghana, Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Lesotho. A qualitative study approach was employed by conducting individual in-depth interviews with senior staff members of NACs. We also collected important NAC documents that are used in achieving their mandates. The NAC documentation seemed to be in order in all countries visited, and there was a good understanding of the NACs' mandate and their functioning. There were numerous constraints and challenges that need to be addressed in order to make NACs perform their activities better. NACs need to operate independently of the usual government bureaucracy. Additional work is still needed by governments in making NACs responsible for the multi-sectoral response in sub-Saharan Africa. | <urn:uuid:49c31933-e66b-426a-a1ee-a154e01a4962> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://researchonline.lshtm.ac.uk/id/eprint/5880/ | 2024-04-24T02:53:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.982561 | 259 |
In 2022, inflation took a toll on retirees’ finances. Gas, food (eggs! yikes!) – everything seemed to shoot up in price. Although there’s a hefty cost-of-living increase coming in 2023 for those who receive Social Security, some of your clients will still be feeling the pinch.
As a restaurant consultant, I have a suggestion: If they’re thinking they need to find a part-time job, ask your clients whether they’ve considered the restaurant/hospitality industry.
Lots of reasons. They can join a fun team. Be friendly and outgoing to guests. Learn some new skills. And their local restaurant owner will welcome them with open arms because there’s a labor crisis in the restaurant industry.
Not only that, many owners have been let down time and again by younger staff. They are scheduled for interviews and don’t show up. They get hired and never come to work. They work one shift and are never heard from again.
We people “of a certain age” know what it’s like to show up on time, work hard and then do it all again the next day.
If they don’t want to work full-time, that’s great. The restaurant/hospitality business is built on part-time staff. They might be thinking, “I don’t have any experience.” Fantastic! Hospitality is an industry that lives to train great people.
Let’s look at a few things an inexperienced but mature restaurant employee can do.
Be a host
The host is the “face” of the restaurant. A guest may actually leave without dining if they don’t have a good experience from the moment they walk in the door. It’s not about greeting the guest; it is about making the guest welcome, comfortable and excited about the dining experience they are about to enjoy. Customers will even come back because they love the host.
Be a prep cook
This is a job of instant gratification. Prep cooks get to turn vegetables and fruit into art, as well as support everyone in the kitchen with the products that they have prepared. Plus, they learn professional knife skills! Most kitchens are thrilled to have someone in this key support role on a part-time basis. They could come in at 7 a.m. and be out by 11 so they have the rest of the day to enjoy themselves.
Learn garde manger
Imagine getting paid to learn garde manger and then showing off new skills! “Garde manger” actually means Keeper of the Food, which means that they would be the main person who everyone in the kitchen comes to for the cold food that the team has prepared. Again, a great part-time position where you get to use those new skills at work and at home.
I know several seniors who are working in restaurants now and are having a great time on a full- or part-time basis, and as in the case of a 60-year-old woman who was hired as a dishwasher. It gets her out of the house and away from her husband who just retired.
They get to do artistic work, hone those knife skills, and at the end of the day, they’re done! No work to take home, no stress, and the only thing you will be thinking about is what you want to learn tomorrow.
Restaurants need seniors to step in and step up and save their businesses. If you have a client who’s casting about for something to do in their spare time to earn a little extra cash, think about the restaurant industry.

Sucrose (table sugar) is a disaccharide made of 50% fructose and 50% glucose. Sucrose is metabolized primarily in the small intestine releasing equal parts glucose and fructose. Glucose causes insulin release and is rapidly cleared from the blood stream by insulin dependent channels. Fructose is independent of insulin and is rapidly taken up by the […]
Glucose and Fructose have different effects on the addiction centers in the brain. Fructose produced activation in the brain’s ‘reward circuit,’ and increased the desire for food. Glucose does not directly activate the reward center.

Could it be the sugar-sweetened beverage companies know that the reward system is activated by fructose, creating more compulsion to purchase? The incidental side effect is an excessive fat accumulation in the liver, and our epidemic of NAFLD, Metabolic Syndrome, Prediabetes, Type 2 Diabetes. Could the priming of the opioid epidemic be associated?
It’s no secret that sugar is bad for you. It spoils your teeth, packs on pounds around your belly, and provides zero nutrition. Unfortunately, these are the least of sugars crimes. The biggest reason why you should stop taking sugar is that it is one of the most pro-inflammatory foods. Current Research suggests that chronic, body-wide inflammation is […]
The prevalence of vending machines that stock soda in schools, particularly elementary schools, is concerning for the overall health and well-being of the country. Sodas are made largely with high fructose corn syrup. Fructose activates the dopaminergic reward system more than glucose, and high fructose corn syrup is spiked with extra fructose, far beyond what […]
Fructose and glucose are both sugars, but they are not the same. High-fructose corn syrup was invented in the 1970s and began to replace regular sugar around 1975. The obesity epidemic coincides with the use of HFCS, and vegetable oils and ultra-processed grain also increased in the mid-1970s. The per capita consumption of HFCS — […]
There has been an intentional, unlabeled increase in manufacturing fructose, which is having an impact on weight and leading to the obesity epidemic. Soda drinkers in particular are consuming more fructose than people realize. Manufactured high-fructose corn syrup contains a ratio of 55:45 fructose to glucose. High-fructose corn syrup was invented in the early 1970s […]
Many people think that sugar is sugar, but there are different types and sugar comes in many forms. Compared with glucose, fructose plays a primary role in development of metainflammation, obesity, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes Fructose directly increases de novo lipogenesis, promotes dyslipidemia, decreases insulin sensitivity, increases visceral adiposity, and stimulates the reward center, similar to […] | <urn:uuid:ed159e79-eff8-47d6-bdfa-42bfbdfaf1c5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://reversingdiabetesmd.com/tag/fructose/ | 2024-04-24T02:08:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.937364 | 614 |

Tell me about your The Beginning!
We met as children (Our families new each other) we were around 8 or 9. Krystal used to want to play with me and I was always to shy. We lost contact for 10 years with my family moving back to Brisbane. I moved back to Melbourne at 17 and started working at my Uncles salon – Co owned by Krystal’s sister. Krystal came in to the shop a few times before we really re connected. After a few times of her coming into the shop, by chance I was closing up and Krystal had just finished having her hair done. I had to catch a tram home and asked what she was doing, which Krystal replied waiting to catch up with some friends. We then decided to wait for the tram together, I sat with Krystal for an hour or so as we chatted away whilst we waited for her friends (also missing many trams). I didn’t want her waiting on Lygon St alone – a core value I’ve been brought up with from my Mum. It’s amazing how that moment in time our conversation seemed so insignificant, yet it was the true beginning of something special. This is the exact moment that we reconnected
When and where did you get engaged?
What a special day, so much planning went into this. Krystal was spending a day at the beach with her family and without her knowing I was gallivanting around Red hill’s winery’s looking for the perfect spot to propose this was in January. From there I fell in love with Pt Leo. I organise a photographer to attend Pt Leo in April where I had booked Krystal and I to go for lunch and then to walk around the sculpture park. That’s where I proposed with the photographer acting as someone photographing the sculptures. I played our favourite song (which she will be walking down the aisle to) and proposed. Krystal was in shock and said yes! My favourite memory was of Krystal after she had recomposed herself, she turned to me and set OMG I need to call Dad. Little did she know I had arranged for our whole families to be on top of the hill with food and drinks to share the special day with us.
What style/theme have you chosen for your Wedding Day?
What are you most looking forward to on the day?
The moment Krystal walks down the aisle
Send there emails earlier than two week before the wedding. Have fun in the planning process and enjoy the ride. | <urn:uuid:9361ab46-537d-4316-bea1-653e761ab90b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://rickliston.com/levantine-hill-estate-wedding-of-krystal-and-liam/ | 2024-04-24T02:51:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.986263 | 521 |
So, yes, it’s true. As announced today in Publisher’s Weekly Children’s Bookshelf, I have written a crossover story featuring Carter Kane and Percy Jackson. The story is called “The Son of Sobek.”
This is something fans have been asking me to do for years, but why this story and why now? My publisher Disney-Hyperion was looking for something fun to add to the paperback version of The Serpent’s Shadow, which comes out May 7 — something to encourage folks who haven’t yet tried the Kane Chronicles to pick up the series. I decided what the heck. Let’s throw Carter and Percy together in a Greek-Egyptian dilemma and see what happens. The result was SO much fun to write.
If you buy the paperback version of Serpent’s Shadow on May 7, “The Son of Sobek” will be at the end of the book, no extra charge.
“But what if I’ve already bought The Serpent’s Shadow?” you ask. “Do I have to buy it again just to read this story?”
Well, the story will be released first in the paperback edition, since that’s what I wrote it for, but fear not — there will be other ways to get “The Son of Sobek.” Disney will be releasing it a little later in the summer as an e-single and audio, read by yours truly — the first time I’ve ever narrated the entire audio for my own story. As soon as I have more information about the e-release, I will let you know. As always, this information only applies to the US market, as that’s the only country I get info for. I can’t say if/when it will be available in other countries and other translations.
Now please be aware this is a SHORT STORY. In print, it runs about forty pages, though I think it packs a lot of adventure into those pages. It’s not a full novel, because I have been spending most of my time working on The House of Hades, and I know you don’t want me taking more time away from that project than I absolutely have to! The e-single will be priced accordingly, and I hope you find the adventure worth it. I certainly had a blast mixing up the Egyptian and Greek worlds.
An excerpt from the story can be found on Disney’s Facebook Kane Chronicles’ page.

Cool air will plunge out of Eastern Canada into New England Thursday night into Friday. A departing cold front will open the doors to the fall-like airmass that will settle in on Friday. By Friday morning, the temperature in interior Southern New England will be in the 40s, with low to mid 50s at the immediate coast and in the cities. It will be even cooler in Northern New England where the temperature will dip into the upper 30s to low 40s near dawn.
Overall, this looks like the coolest airmass to hit New England since early to mid June. The temperature at TF Green Airport has not been below 53° since June 6, 2013. It has not been that cool in Boston since May 28, 2013. The fall preview will not be long-lived, with highs in the 70s expected this weekend. | <urn:uuid:9d6ed881-d8aa-4f9c-b949-e2653ffe1b41> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://rightweather.com/2013/09/fall-feel-new-england-friday-morning/ | 2024-04-24T03:37:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.970617 | 169 |
It’s another RAW In A Nutshell, and this week we will be prepping for next week’s big anniversary show.
And, by prepping for the big anniversary show? I mean let us get some matches booked.
Last week, we already learned that it will be the Judgement Day battling Jimmy and Jey for tag team gold in Philly.
What else will be featured on the big show?
Considering it is also our go-home show, next week should be pretty stacked, and I have faith in my Philly fans for a lively show.
But tonight? Tonight we are in Cincy and things should be plenty fun.
Lots of matches to be made ahead of the Rumble, and of course, prepping for the big 30th anniversary show.
So, without any further delay…let us get into…
RAW In A Nutshell: Prepping For Big Anniversary Show
It’s time to crack open this Nutshell and get to prepping!
Best Match of the night:
I really liked the six pack challenge.
Could complain that you had 2 guys from Ohio…and they lost early…in Ohio…but other than maybe making Dolph the last guy out, no complaints.
Love the teasing of the Hurt Business. MVP was out with Cedric and Shelton earlier, and now with Omos to tilt things in Lashley’s favor.
Which, in a manner, delivered the win to Bobby Lashley.
Giving us a Lashley-Theory US Title match next week.
Worst match of the night:
Hmm…which way to go?
I think I’d say Omos and Elias.
Of all the folks who did well in NXT…or even earlier in their main roster runs…something is off with Elias now.
Star of the Night
What direction for here?
Probably Lashley, for winning the main event.
But a nod for Bayley and Becky on the mic, too.
Lots of good performances, I think.
Spot of the Night:
I mean…this is just painful.
— WWE on BT Sport (@btsportwwe) January 17, 2023
And, not kidding here, but the sequence where Theory used the table to get out of the choke slam?
Followed by Rollins’ stomp of Omos?
And then, a little later, Rollins’ big super kick? Nice sequence.
Jobber of the Night:
Man oh man…did Elias get jobbed out or what.
But then, Tozawa was like “hold my beer”. Poor guy was fed to Bronson Reed.
Holy Sh** Moment of the Night:
Iyo Sky got her old entrance back. Missed that.
Commentary of the night:
Speaking about Dom, Graves was giving KP some grief. One nugget?
“Give Dom a bar of soap, let’s see if you walk the next day”
Also? I have to say that that, right there, is proof Vince still is not touching the on-air product.
LOL Moment of the night:
Graves, on Otis during his gradual face turn: “I expect him to burst through a brick wall and offer me a cold beverage”.
If ever they re-cast the Kool-Aid Man…
Also, Graves in particular helping to sell Dom’s “hard time”. Like learning to make tattoo ink from a saltine box…
I think we all knew he’d be in it, and there were many who thought he’d be an expected surprise.
Change it to just expected.
— WWE on FOX (@WWEonFOX) January 17, 2023
People love to rave about “long term story telling”. And, under certain leadership, it seemed like what talent did in NXT was ignored.
Like, it was there, we all knew it, but it wasn’t factored in often, other than in vague talk (or, too often).
Now…this is long term story telling…
Everything about this promo, from the insults to all the 4HW tea that was spilled about 2015 to the fiery intensity that Becky spoke with = I can’t wait for next week! #WWERaw
pic.twitter.com/8VPKCwFAEI— Deadly Alex (@HurriKane_Jr_88) January 17, 2023
It’s not where’s Waldo…but how about “Where’s Nikki”
I thought the show was not bad…but either what I saw wasn’t what the crowd saw…or the crowd was just flat?
And, it wasn’t just me, plenty on Twitter felt something was a bit out of sorts for most of the show.
Then again, RAW was up against a (bad) NFL playoff game this week, and it’s a limbo show.
Ya know…prepping for next week’s big anniversary show…so maybe they held back?
I still think we had good action.
Love Bronson Reed, though maybe the match went too long? But…it was a squash, without being a total squash, I guess.
Lots of legends in Philly next week.
Curious how they are positioning this acknowledgement ceremony. All generations of the Bloodline“…I mean…would WWE really do The Rock setting up ‘Mania before the Rumble?
— Denise ‘Hollywood’ Salcedo (@_denisesalcedo) January 17, 2023
Then again, having The Rock on the 30th Anniversary show…does make some sense. But…no way WWE spoils the Rumble like that, right?
Otherwise…there’s a tag title match…a US title match…Becky and Bayley in a steel cage? I am in.
Call me crazy, but with us basically on the Road to WrestleMania…and the show is in Philly…can we have Heyman announced for the WWE Hall of Fame already?
After the final bell:
Not a bad show, but next week looks seriously loaded.
It’s your go-home show for RAW prior to the Rumble.
Loads of legends announced for the RAW 30th anniversary show.
United States title match, tag title match, women’s steel cage match…and a curious acknowledgement ceremony.
That might “only” build toward the Rumble title match between Reigns and KO. But it could be a bigger tease. | <urn:uuid:ffe20172-3ca5-4685-8357-4e9bcb1c1efd> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ringsideintel.com/2023/01/raw-in-a-nutshell-prepping-for-big-anniversary-show/ | 2024-04-24T03:54:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.943081 | 1,395 |

Frequently Asked Questions on TRX Leg Exercises
What is a TRX strap?
A TRX strap is part of the TRX suspension trainer system. It is an adjustable nylon strap that can be anchored to a fixed point, allowing you to use your body weight as resistance for various strength training exercises. The straps allow you to adjust the difficulty level of each exercise.
What muscles does TRX workout target?
TRX works out multiple muscle groups simultaneously by utilizing your own body weight as resistance. TRX leg exercises specifically target muscles of the lower body including the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, hips, inner thighs and calves. They also engage your core and stability muscles.
What is the proper way to set the TRX straps?
First anchor the TRX securely to a fixed point like a sturdy door frame or beam. The height you set it at depends on the exercise and your height. Adjust the strap length by pulling the adjustment tab to shorten or lengthen the straps to suit each exercise. Stand on the foot cradles to test the tightness and stability before starting.
What are some beginner TRX lower body exercises?
Some good beginner TRX lower body exercises include:
- TRX squats
- TRX lunges
- TRX glute bridges
- TRX hamstring curls
- TRX hip presses
These movements allow beginners to develop strength, balance and stability in the lower body using the TRX straps for support.
What muscle groups do TRX lunges work?
TRX lunges target the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes and calves. They build lower body and core strength while improving stability and range of motion. Adding a front or side lunge works the muscles slightly differently but still targets the major muscle groups.
How can I up the intensity of my TRX leg workout?
To increase the intensity of your TRX leg workout:
- Use single leg exercises like pistol squats
- Increase reps, duration or number of supersets
- Adjust strap length to be more challenging
- Add explosive exercises like squat jumps
- Try crossing lunges or abducted lunges
Scaling intensity allows you to continually challenge your lower body.
What muscles do glute bridges work out?
Glute bridges primarily target the gluteus maximus but also work the hamstrings, lower back muscles, hips and core stabilizers. This makes them an excellent exercise for strengthening the posterior chain.
What is the benefit of the TRX squat jump?
The TRX squat jump is a plyometric exercise that builds power and explosiveness in the lower body while increasing your heart rate for cardiovascular benefits. It's an efficient exercise that engages the major muscle groups and enhances athletic performance.
How can I set the proper TRX strap length?
The strap length depends on your height, the exercise and the intensity you want. As a general rule, start with the mid-length setting. Shorten towards top for more stability or lengthen away from anchor point to increase instability and challenge. Test strap tightness before starting any exercise.
Which muscles do side lunges work?
TRX side lunges target the quadriceps, inner/outer thighs, glutes and calves. The lateral movements enhance stability while working muscle groups that standard front lunges may miss, creating balanced lower body strength.
What are some good TRX lower body exercises?
Some excellent TRX lower body exercises include:
- Glute bridges
- Hamstring curls
- Side lunges
- Squat jumps
- Single leg squats
Mix up these moves for a complete lower body workout routine using just your body weight and the TRX trainer.
My Experience Using the TRX Suspension Trainer
Setting Your TRX Strap Length
When I first started using my TRX suspension trainer, I knew that properly setting the strap length would be crucial for both safety and effectiveness. I began by anchoring the TRX securely to a sturdy door frame to serve as my anchor point.
With the black buckles, I was able to easily adjust the straps to achieve different lengths depending on the exercise. I started with the mid-length setting facing the anchor point to get a feel for the tension on the straps at this beginning stage.
As I gained more confidence, I experimented with lengthening the straps away from the anchor point to increase instability and challenge my core muscles more.
Testing different strap lengths really allowed me to leverage my own body weight in new ways!
One exercise I began incorporating early on was the TRX low lunge. I started by setting the straps to mid-calf length and facing the anchor point in a standing position.
Gripping the handles for stability, I stepped my left leg forward and placed my foot on the ground, bending my front leg at a 90-degree angle. As I lowered my hips straight down towards the ground, my front leg carried most of my weight.
The tension on the straps allowed me to control the range of motion and intensity of the stretch. I made sure to keep my core engaged, shoulders back, and weight in my front heel throughout the movement.
Really feeling the stretch in my hip flexors and quad with my left leg forward, I held for 30 seconds before stepping back to the start position.
After repeating on both sides, the low lunge opened my hips beautifully!

PROVIDENCE, Rhode Island (AP) -- Oscar the cat seems to have an uncanny knack for predicting when nursing home patients are going to die, by curling up next to them during their final hours.
His accuracy, observed in 25 cases, has led the staff to call family members once he has chosen someone. It usually means the patient has less than four hours to live.
"He doesn't make too many mistakes. He seems to understand when patients are about to die," Dr. David Dosa said in an interview. He describes the phenomenon in a poignant essay in Thursday's issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Conditions related to aging are identified, treated and managed through personalized care and regular monitoring.
Geriatric assessment is a multi-dimensional and holistic assessment of an older person that looks into cognition, emotion, nutrition, mobility, activities of daily living and social functioning to assess the health and well-being. It is the best way to evaluate the health of seniors. The assessment is used to plan the care required, improve quality of life and improve survival.
This assessment evaluates the thinking and reasoning abilities of the individual that can be broadly categorized as the intellectual functioning or the cognitive capacity. It takes into account the ability of the brain to think, listen, learn, understand, justify, question and pay close attention. Signs of cognitive decline include forgetting appointments and dates, forgetting recent events and conversations and feeling overwhelmed while making simple decisions.
The objective of preventive geriatrics is to improve life expectancy while maintaining a high level of physical and mental functioning through disease prevention and control of chronic diseases of aging using a mix of lifestyle changes, health care management and environmental management.
Dementia is a condition where two or more brain functions such as memory loss and judgment are impaired and therefore daily functioning is impaired. While medication and therapies help, some of the causes are not reversible. Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia.
This progressive disorder of the central nervous system impairs movement and causes tremors. Dopamine levels drop due to the cell damage in the brain. While it may start with tremors in the hands, other common symptoms include stiffness, slow movement and loss of balance.
Palliative care aims at improving the quality of life and mitigating suffering in patients with serious and complex conditions. It is an interdisciplinary medical caregiving approach aimed at optimizing quality of life and mitigating suffering among people with serious, complex and life threatening illnesses. Palliative care can be combined with other treatments, therapies, chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
Impaired cerebral metabolism or altered mental state is called metabolic encephalopathy. There is alteration in consciousness and brain dysfunction. Common signs include delirium, dementia, ataxia or difficulty with tasks such as walking, eating, writing or activities of daily activities, jaundice and coma. It could be caused by infections, anoxia, metabolic problems, toxins, drugs, physiological changes and trauma, among others.
Vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, certain medicines and burns can cause loss of body fluids or dehydration. This also means that there is loss of important electrolytes such as sodium, chloride and potassium. Hyponatremia is the most common electrolyte disorder. | <urn:uuid:3dc8d08f-2eab-4bfb-8288-576b995fdbd1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://rkspecialityhospital.com/specialities/geriatrics/ | 2024-04-24T03:15:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.930522 | 569 |

Robusta coffee is a type of coffee bean known for its robust flavor and high caffeine content. It is often used in blends with Arabica coffee to create a full-bodied and deeply flavored cup of coffee. However, the aftertaste of Robusta coffee is a topic that is often shrouded in mystery. This distinct characteristic has been the subject of much discussion among coffee aficionados and has inspired many to explore the nuances of different varieties of Robusta coffee. In this article, we will delve deeper into the aftertaste of Robusta coffee, exploring what makes it unique and how it is perceived by those who drink it.
Overview Of Robusta Coffee
Robusta coffee is one of two main species of coffee beans, alongside Arabica. It is grown primarily in Africa and Asia and is known for its strong, bitter taste and high caffeine content. The popularity of Robusta coffee varies depending on the region, but it is generally considered to be a lower quality bean than Arabica and is often used in blends to add depth and complexity to the flavor. Despite its reputation as a lower quality coffee bean, Robusta has a loyal following among those who appreciate its unique flavor profile and high caffeine content.
History Of Robusta Coffee
The history of Robusta coffee dates back to the late 1800s when it was first discovered growing in the mountains of central Africa. The French were among the first to recognize the potential of this coffee species, and they began to propagate it in their colonies across Africa. By the early 1900s, Robusta coffee had spread throughout the continent and had become an important cash crop for many African countries.
Robusta coffee is known for its resilience and ability to flourish in a variety of environments. These attributes have made it a popular crop in regions with less-than-ideal growing conditions, such as the lowlands of Vietnam. The country has become the world’s leading producer of Robusta coffee, accounting for more than 40% of the world’s total output.
Despite its rising popularity, Robusta coffee has always been seen as ‘inferior’ to the more refined Arabica coffee. This perception stems from the fact that Robusta beans are more bitter and have a higher caffeine content than their Arabica counterparts. However, this hasn’t stopped Robusta from becoming an essential component in many coffee blends, especially in Europe and Asia where its intense flavor is much appreciated.
Today, Robusta coffee plays a vital role in the global coffee industry and is used in a variety of applications, including instant coffee, espresso blends, and even energy drinks. Its unique flavor and aroma make it a favorite among coffee enthusiasts around the globe.
Aftertaste Of Robusta
The aftertaste of Robusta coffee can be described as much stronger and harsher when compared to that of Arabica coffee. While Arabica coffee has a sweet and smooth aftertaste, Robusta coffee tends to have a more bitter and earthy aftertaste. The aftertaste of Robusta coffee is often described as lingering in the mouth, leaving a sensation of dryness in the throat. This is because Robusta coffee beans contain about twice as much caffeine as Arabica beans, and the higher caffeine content gives Robusta coffee its stronger and more lingering aftertaste.
In addition, the higher acidity in Robusta coffee also contributes to its harsher aftertaste. Despite these differences, some coffee drinkers actually prefer the aftertaste of Robusta coffee, as they find its earthy and bitter flavor to be more robust and full-bodied. Ultimately, the aftertaste of Robusta coffee is a matter of personal preference, and coffee lovers should experiment with both types of coffee to determine which aftertaste they prefer.

The aftertaste of Robusta coffee can last for several minutes after the last sip, depending on factors such as brewing method, roast level, and personal taste preferences.
4. Can the aftertaste of Robusta coffee be improved with certain brewing methods?
Yes, certain brewing methods such as French press or pour-over can help bring out the more complex flavors in Robusta coffee and minimize its harsh aftertaste.

Help us by DonatingDecorating or gardening around the homes, clearing land and building polytunnels at our horticultural site, preparation for our annual fete, the opportunities available across our services are wide and varied and we are always finding new and exciting things for your team to get stuck into!
Our make a difference days are very popular and we have such positive feedback from volunteers who take part.
Daniel Astley, Barclays, volunteered to help tidy the pool at Rossendale
“The highlight of the day was taking before and after photos of the pond which showed the work we had done and also meeting the friendly and welcoming tenants. I really feel we made a difference as we relieved some of the pressure on the staff by taking care of some of the jobs they don’t have time to do.”
Stuart Johnstone, Nationwide, helped with the grounds maintenance at Rossendale
“It was great to really get stuck in helping out, cutting down trees and being outdoors! I really enjoyed meeting and chatting with some of the tenants and hearing their great stories. Doing some of the tasks that maybe they can’t do made it feel like we really made a difference.”
Max Ashley, Barclays, worked in the grounds of Rossendale Hall and helped with the pool area.
“The highlight of the day was seeing all the work that had been accomplished by everyone that volunteered! It feels great to know that ‘we’ not ‘I’ have made a difference to all the tenants within the Trust. I hope they all approve of the work we have done!” | <urn:uuid:4c4edd7b-bdd3-4bb3-aa13-6b5355763ae4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://rossendaletrust.org/make-a-difference/ | 2024-04-24T02:55:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.977656 | 360 |
We recently took a trip to Cambodia for a break from this city and to explore the south of that country, something I’d never done before. After being there I have to ask myself why haven’t I done this before?? It was just so good.
Originally we were going to travel first to Phnom Penh and then down to Sihanoukville, but ultimately we decided to go in completely the opposite direction. We flew from Sai Gon to the southern Vietnamese city of Rach Gia, caught a taxi into the market/bus depot and boarded a 25 seater local bus that eventually had around 35 persons on board. However, it was comfortable enough and for the 3 hour trip to Ha Tien on the border the princely sum of 38,000 VND (US$1.80) each was very reasonable.
The bus dropped us outside of Ha Tien and still 7 klms short of the border leaving us at the not too tender mercy of the local motorbike taxi drivers. Eventually we settled on 50,000VND each for them to take us to the border, which didn’t turn out to be a bad proposition really as they stuck with us and walked our bags through for nearly an hour in the very hot sun as we left VN and purchased a visa etc on the Cambodian side.
We paid them off on the other side and were besieged with individuals offering to take us to Kep for outrageous sums but Lan began talking to one guy in Vietnamese and he offered to take us in his car for $15. We accepted and he became our driver for the rest of the trip only ever scaring me once when, on the road to Phnom Penh he tried to overtake 3 trucks on a blind corner that was cresting a hill and we met an oncoming car half way. After a couple of expletives I asked him not to do that again.
From Kep we drove to Kampot, then to Sihanoukville and on to Phnom Penh. From there to Sai Gon we caught a bus which is a manageable 6 hour drive. So actually we did a large circle with many pleasant stops on the way.
The pick of the places we stayed we both agreed was Kep closely followed by Kampot. Sihanoukville has better beaches but it also has a seedy feel to the place and too many children trying to sell stuff which turned me off. Phnom Penh of course is Phnom Penh, hasn’t changed too much over the years and I always enjoy being there.
I’ve put a lot of images up on galleries divided into 4 sets, Kep, Kampot, Sihanoukville and Phnom Penh for your viewing pleasure. Please click on the images below to go to the galleries. | <urn:uuid:c929526f-2b66-4965-9c24-0a0667e001d0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://royby.com/recent-trip-to-cambodia/ | 2024-04-24T02:10:53Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.982909 | 582 |
The world is no stranger to anxiety after the shitstorm 2020 threw at us. And though the light at the end of the tunnel draws nearer in 2021, we’re still in need of some serious de-stressors.
Canadian indie rockers Autogramm found the classic comic strip Garfield perfect to sum up the overwhelming emotions we’ve all felt recently. That little orange cat gives zero fucks and encourages you to laze around. Autogramm’s track “Anxiety” is a melodic indie rock thrasher that makes you want to dance around in a relatable I’ve-been-stressed-out-of-my-mind-and-need-a-release kind of way.
“I like to think that it was more that I felt akin to [Garfield’s] give-no-fucks disdain for the 9-to-5,” Autogramm guitarist/vocalist Jiffy Marx says. “It’s not that I want to focus on the bad and/or complain about my own anxieties, but I honestly believe it could help others with their own manic worries and irrational fears to know that they are not alone—like, for me, all these many years later, it still helps to know Garfield and I are very alike in that we both hate Mondays and we both love the Ramones.”
The video shows the tragic life of a teddy bear as he keeps being hit with bad luck. Though it seems like the end for Teddy, the ripping guitar riffs and pop-punk-esque choruses end this fluffy badass on a note that keeps him going strong.
“While the song is not specifically about the global pandemic, it is about the feelings we collectively share as we navigate our way toward an uncertain future,” bassist CC Voltage adds. “Especially those of us, or those we know, who are connected to the live music industry.”
From their upcoming sophomore LP ‘No Rules’ (out April 16), watch “Anxiety”
‘No Rules’ keeps with the band’s tradition of crafting singalong pop-anthems, while adding angular elements that are reminiscent of Ghost in the Machine-era Police. For the band, the album title refers less to a no-gods-no-masters set of rules as it does to a no boundaries aspiration. Instead of building walls, they want to build bridges. | <urn:uuid:68c7b287-060b-4181-bfe7-67f118ddea8e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://rpmonline.co.uk/?p=14976 | 2024-04-24T02:39:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.95219 | 521 |

Troubleshooting GeForce Experience Login Issues
If you’re experiencing login issues with GeForce Experience, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can take to fix the problem.

You can also try resetting the DNS cache. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator, then type “ipconfig /flushdns” and press Enter.
Another solution is to disable any privacy extensions or VPN applications that may interfere with the login process.
If none of these solutions work, you can try uninstalling GeForce Experience using the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) tool and then reinstalling the latest version from the NVIDIA website.

The 12 Days of CRS
December 7, 2022
Here in our local Saint Joe community, the 12 Days of CRS is currently happening. CRS stands for Catholic Relief Services, which is an organization devoted to global humanitarian aid. At the beginning of last school year, Mrs. Abby Fink (who teaches multiple theology courses at Saint Joe) decided to start a CRS club within the student body of Saint Joe. The CRS club is in charge of Rice Bowls, advocating for those who need help throughout the world, praying for those in need, and completing monthly action items given to them by the official Catholic Relief Services organization. The club works to localize the efforts of CRS on a smaller scale within the Saint Joe community, and to spread awareness for people in crisis situations who need aid and prayers.
The 12 Days of CRS is the clubs way of utilizing the Christmas season to spread joy and simultaneously advocate for the causes that Catholic Relief Services is currently supporting. The 12 days (from December 1-16, factoring in weekends) will also end with fundraising for CRS. Concluding with the annual “Pie Day” tradition that began last year in 2o21, students will spend the days of December 12-16 donating money in their lunch periods to try and vote for their favorite (or least favorite) teacher to get a pie in the face. On the Friday afternoon of December 16th, the 12 Days will end with the teachers who had the most money voted for them getting pies launched to their faces. It’s the perfect event to get students excited about the good causes and goals that CRS upholds and supports.
CRS is always looking for new members who are passionate about helping those who are in need or suffering in the world, so consider joining if you love service and advocating for those who may be oppressed or set back in some way. | <urn:uuid:df12225e-d5b6-4561-a20a-62ea17708c55> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://saintjosephsquare.com/9957/student-life/the-12-days-of-crs/ | 2024-04-24T03:29:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.972185 | 385 |
I earned my juris doctor degree in 1979 from the Georgetown University Law Center in Washington D.C. I graduated from Berlin American High School in 1971. After high school, I attended college for three years in Munich, Germany – two years at the University of Maryland, Munich Campus and one year at the Ludwig Maximillian Universität under the auspices of Lewis and Clark College in Portland, Oregon. During this time, I received a Zellidja travel scholarship for study in Israel. In 1974 I returned to the United States to attend college at Penn State University where I received my BA degree in 1975 and my MA degree in 1976. Before attending law school, the focus of my education was literature, art and history, particularly of the Weimar Republic in Germany between the World Wars.
I came to Seattle sight unseen in 1979. When I arrived, Seattle was still a small town – Boeing was the biggest game in town. Microsoft wasn’t even on Wall Street’s radar. I cut my trial lawyer’s teeth under the tutelage of Washington ‘s senior state trial judge, the Hon. George H. Revelle. After that, I joined the 100 year old Seattle law firm of Ogden Murphy Wallace where I practiced as a civil and commercial litigator, first as an associate and then as a partner/member, for 23 years. My practice over the years covered a range of issues from contract, business, real estate, and construction disputes to personal injury and probate litigation. I represent both plaintiffs and defendants.
As I practiced law, I also remained active in the bar. I was the youngest member elected to serve on the Washington State Bar Association Board of Governors. The preceding four years I was editor in chief of the Washington State Bar News. After serving on the Board of Governors, I was appointed to, and later chaired, the Washington State Commission on Judicial Conduct. From time to time, I continue to represent the Commission as outside special counsel. I have participated in numerous panels, programs and symposiums related to technology, constitutional and privacy issues, the judiciary, bench-bar-press relations and the practice of law.
I have chaired or co-chaired six WSBA or KCBA approved Mandatory Continuing Legal Education seminars and lectured at others, typically on the issues of contract litigation, civil procedure and ethics. During the preceding thirty-five years, I have published more than 60 articles in professional journals as well as numerous articles, commentaries, stories or works of fiction that have appeared in non-legal venues. A sample of some of my writings are available at this site.
While practicing law, I have also served my local community. I was a trustee of the Montlake Community Club, a director, and later President of the Windermere Corporation neighborhood association, a director of the Fuhrman and Boyer Neighborhood Improvement Association, and an officer of the Sandpoint Tennis Center Association. I get involved in local, national and international issues.
I am not a “techie”, but I speak “geek” and I am keenly interested in technology issues. I serve as President of Monowave Corporation, a closely held neurotechnology company that is doing R&D in the area of machine speech recognition. I have been a member of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, the Academy of Model Aeronautics and the Free Software Foundation. My law firm computer systems run on open source Gnu/Linux.
I am nearly fluent in German. I also can read and speak a modicum of French and a smidgen of Italian. I have played the guitar for more than fifty years. I finger-pick my own compositions and play personal arrangements of blues, rock and folk music. I practice law like I play the guitar: it’s not always conventional, but it often works.
I am married. I have a strong interest in bicycles, three-wheeled utility vans, motor scooters and small electric or ICE urban vehicles. I am a voracious reader. I am an amateur history sleuth with a keen sense of the 3D tapestry of events over time and space. For many reasons, including client confidentiality, I do not use a “smart phone” or social networking sites. I have been television-and-Hollywood-disconnected for more than two decades. | <urn:uuid:22989301-5382-44a4-a44d-1cb2afaa3aee> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://sarpllc.com/autobiography/ | 2024-04-24T03:32:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.966579 | 896 |
Indica strain are known to help with insomnia, chronic pain, anxiety and loss of appetite. Can be physically sedating good for relaxing or at bedtime.
Hybrids fall somewhere in between the indica-sativa spectrum, depending on the traits they inherit from their parent strains.
Sativa strains can help with depression, fatigue, a creative block and lack of focus. Pair well with physical activity, social gatherings and creative projects.
Cannabis flower is one of the most familiar products on the market and the most versatile. Cannabis flower can be smoked or vaporized, or used to make concentrates and other infused products.
Concentrates -- also referred to as extracts -- come in a multitude of textures and consistencies. Concentrates are valued for their versatility and high concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes.
Edibles, which come in many forms from baked goods to beverages, are a popular way to consume cannabis for those who don’t wish to smoke or vaporize flower or concentrates.
A lotion or ointment that is applied directly to a part of the body. Topicals are utilized for fast-acting localized relief of inflammation and pain.
Medication made by dissolving cannabis in coconut oil. Tinctures contain a range of cannabinoids and are administered orally, sublingually, or in tandem with a beverage.
A pill-sized, dissolvable cylinder used as a vehicle to administer medication through ingestion. Capsule shells, of which there are many variants, can contain any form of cannabis, even decarboxylated flower.
Chemical compounds found in cannabis and produced by the human body that interact with our body’s receptors. Endocannabinoids, or internally produced cannabinoids, are an essential component of our bodies cannabinoid system that is largely responsible for maintaining internal balance. Phytocannabinoids, or cannabinoids produced by the cannabis plant, mimic the functions of our endocannabinoids and are responsible for the euphoric effects that are associated with THC.
The process of heating a cannabinoid to the point of removing a carboxyl group that enhances its ability to interact with the body’s receptors. Decarboxylation is dependent on time and temperature. For example, tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) will naturally decarboxylate into THC over time, or immediately after being exposed to an open flame.
Organic compounds that provide aroma and flavor in cannabis and a variety of other organisms, including plants and insects. Terpenes are responsible for the aroma and flavors of cannabis and interact with cannabinoids when cannabis is consumed, which influences the effect. Terpenes are formed inside cannabis trichomes and increase in production with light exposure. | <urn:uuid:ed9636d9-2509-4a1e-a093-3b7063c02389> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://sbcollective.net/about-cannabis | 2024-04-24T02:42:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.94183 | 557 |

When it comes time to order high school yearbooks, all students get excited. And it should be that way: the excitement to own a piece of their own history. These books capture everything their school years stand for; they are a representation of their abilities, their successes, their joys, their sorrows, their relationships. The books will forever be a symbol of their growing years, the symbol of who they were and who they have become; their very important memories encapsulated. Small wonder they really, really want a copy.
But then, something happens. As time goes by, they move away. Their cumbersome high school yearbooks stay on their bookshelf. The books remain behind while they move on. In a way, it’s as if the students leave a bit of their lives behind. Do they really want to forget?
Not at all. The issue is that the traditional paper yearbooks are heavy, cumbersome and difficult to carry around. No wonder they get left behind on their old bookshelves. That would definitely not be the case if they had online high school yearbooks.
In a world that’s gone digital it’s time for high school yearbooks to go digital as well. Imagine being able to access an old high school yearbook from your phone or via the web. Imagine being able to connect with old friends, imagine being able to keep memories alive, imagine pictures that never fade, imagine being able to see all of it as if it had happened just yesterday.
Now, that which was just imagined can be reality.

Ant infestations are awful. Who wants to have countless ants milling around the place? Of course, to prevent that from happening, you need to be able to prevent the ants from breeding. This means knowing where their eggs are located.
On this page, we will look at the following:
- Where ants lay their eggs
- How you can spot ant eggs
- Whether there is any difference between ant species
Where Do Ants Lay Their Eggs?
Ant species are different (more on that in a short while). This means that the locations where they lay their eggs will differ.
Of course, in this section, we are going to go through some of the most common nesting locations of ants. This is where their eggs are most likely to be.
How Ants Nest
If you can remember back to your High School science classes, then you will probably have an idea about how ants nest already. Ants are formed of colonies. You have one or more queen ants, and the rest of the ants are going to be workers.
Queen ants are the only ants that can lay eggs. Because the queen is responsible for ensuring that the ant nest continues to thrive, the queen ants remain in the nest at all times. They just lay their eggs and do not do much more other than be worshipped by the worker ants.
The job of the worker ants is to…work. Worker ants will have a variety of different roles. Some will collect food. Some will tend to the young.
Others will continue to build the nest. If you see ants out and about, then it is almost certainly going to be a worker ant.
All of the eggs are going to be located within the ant’s nest. They will be properly protected because, once again, eggs are important for the ant nest to thrive.
They do need to keep producing new ants, after all. Because the ant eggs tend to be pretty protected (and sometimes buried underground), you may not ever encounter ant eggs. Although, this is something that we are going to also discuss in a short while.
We will expand upon the specific locations that you may find the ants nesting in shortly. However, for the most part, any location would need to meet the following requirements:
- It protects the ants (i.e. they are not going to lay their eggs out in the open)
- The location has water (dampness helps here)
- The location has a food source.
Depending on the ant species, they can opt to nest in one of three different locations:
- In the soil
There is a little bit of overlap between the latter, although as we dive into the next couple of sections, you will start to see why.
In Your Garden
Outdoor ant species love to nest in your garden. While they can burrow underground, most will find a secluded location where they can lay their eggs. Some of the most common places for ants to lay their eggs in a garden include:
- Plant beds
If the ants are hanging around plant beds, then it is likely that they will dig a small hole underneath them. This will provide them with access to a network of tunnels that can provide proper protection for both the ant eggs and the queen.
Obviously if the ants are burrowing under your plants, then there is a good chance that they will end up ruining them too. Most plants aren’t fans of having ants chomp through them, after all.
Under Stones and Paving Slabs
Ants are tremendous burrowers.
As we said before, there is a little bit of an overlap between ants that live outdoors and those that live underground. It is here that we see this overlap.
Ants that live under paving slabs will burrow into the loose mortar. They will then nest just below the paving slab where, typically, there is going to be some soil that they can hang around in.
Many people class these ants as ‘outdoor ants’, while others class them as underground ants. Honestly, it probably isn’t going to make too much of a difference. At the end of the day, ants are ants and they are going to go wherever they want.
Ants need food so, for some ant species, they will tend to lay their eggs pretty close to (or in) trash piles.
You have to remember that ant eggs take a lot of food to develop. In fact, a good chunk of an ant is fat. This is how ants are so strong in comparison to their size.
So, if ants spot a lot of food near trash piles, then you can bet your bottom dollar that they are going to try and build a nest around there.
Of course, this is something that doesn’t always work to the advantage of the ant. After all, trash piles can get moved.
Although, thankfully, because of that, trash pile eggs are probably going to be some of the easiest to destroy.
Rotten logs are a surefire bet for ants. These places often contain a lot of food, and they will provide ample shelter for the little creatures.
Some ant species may also nest in rotten wooden beams around your home. Those who have old sheds in their garden may often find that ants make a beeline for them.
You may even notice a few ant eggs on the walls, particularly if you don’t spend a whole lot of time in the shed (the ants need to feel protected, remember?)
Some ants prefer to live indoors. Here, they are often looking for warmer locations. This means that you may, on occasion, find that ants have laid their eggs in the walls.
They will often open up a small hole in your wall to get in there although, in most cases, they will probably just try and look for an open hole that they can crawl right on through.
Under Floors In Home
As with the walls in your home, some ant species may also like to nest under the floor. Quite often, this is going to be much easier for them to access, particularly if you have floorboards rather than cemented floors. A bit of carpet isn’t going to stand in the way of an ant either.
Dark, Damp Locations In Your Home
Honestly, any dark and damp location in your home is probably going to be great for the ants. We have seen them lay eggs in places as varied as under cupboards, and even in coffee machines that aren’t being used.
Argentine ants (found in some places in the US) are pretty much the only ant species that will use the leaf litter for their nesting.
Generally speaking, they won’t nest in the leaf litter properly. Instead, they will dig a nest underneath, and the leaf litter is more to provide them with a little bit of protection.
Nests Of Other Ants
We know that this doesn’t tell you exactly where those ants are nesting, but we do think that it is worth us pointing out.
There are some ant species that are willing to nest just about anywhere. These are known as thief ants (a pretty apt name, don’t you think?).
This means that they can nest in pretty much any of the locations that we have listed here. This does mean that if you know that you have thief ants, it is going to be pretty difficult to check where their eggs are located.
Is There a Difference Between Ant Species?
Yes. Different ant species lay their eggs in different locations. For example, Pharoah ants tend to live in damp, warm locations. Thief ants prefer to look to take over nests populated by other ants. Black ants are fans of lawns and around plant areas.
This is not to say that ant species won’t look into other locations beyond where they would normally nest. However, if you do have a rough idea about the type of ants that you have kicking around your home or your garden, then you are going to find it a whole lot easier to track them down.
How Do You Know Whether You Are Looking At An Ant Egg?
Unless you see some ants hanging around, you can probably never be certain that you are looking at an ant egg. This is because many insect eggs look the same.
However, we can give you a few ideas of the sorts of things that you are looking for. This way, if you have managed to uncover a nesting location for the ants, you will be able to tell whether there are eggs there or not.
Ant eggs tend to be small and white. They will be oval.
They are a bit tinier than a worker ant. In most cases, you are going to see them grouped up into bundles of eggs.
Once again, because ant nests thrive on ensuring that the eggs survive, you will often find a lot of worker ants hanging around the eggs, trying to protect them. While it certainly is possible, it is very rare that you will find ant eggs completely unguarded.
While they are not ant eggs, we do want to point them out. This is because ant pupae sort of look like ant eggs.
Ant pupae is the ‘cocoon’ stage of an ant’s growth. It is the final stage before an adult worker ant emerges.
Ant pupae are larger than worker ants. They tend to still be oval and white. However, you will find that they are much, much longer than ant eggs. They won’t be grouped quite so much.
You can be sure that you are looking at ant pupae if you look at the end of the cocoon and there is a black dot on the end.
When ants are in a pupae form, it is only a short hop until they become adult ants.
Ants can lay their eggs pretty much anywhere. It will be dependent on the species of ant that you are dealing with. However, in most cases, ants are going to try and lay their eggs in locations that are cool and damp.
They will also want to have ready access to food. You will rarely see ant eggs. This is because the ants want to ensure that they are properly protected.

The study of single proteins has always been tricky. First of all you need to locate them. Until today, most of the solutions involved the labeling of the molecules an then their attachment to something else: links, surfaces, etc. And the problem gets trickier if you want to study their dynamics.
A new promising technique that solves most of these problems has been recently proposed. Scientists at the Kavli Institute of Nanoscience together with the Technische Universität München, have managed to create what they’ve called the NEOtrap: a functional nanopore electro-osmotic trap. As they describe it, “the NEOtrap is formed by docking a DNA-origami sphere onto a passivated solid-state nanopore, which seals off a nanocavity of a user-defined size and creates an electro-osmotic flow that traps nearby particles irrespective of their charge“.
This new technique, featured on the cover of Nature Nanotechnology, is another interdisciplinary finding at the intersection of biology and physics and it opens the door to the study of label-free single proteins dynamics. | <urn:uuid:eaa36d57-690e-4865-8c74-da9db885bc96> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://scixel.es/the-keymaster-and-the-gatekeeper | 2024-04-24T04:13:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.93127 | 231 |
How it Works in a Nutshell
Each year, the coalition invites non-commercial OA/OS services to apply for SCOSS co-ordinated funding.
This process begins with an invitation for interested infrastructure to submit an Expression of Interest; applicant entries are evaluated and up to six are selected and invited to submit a full, formal application.
The SCOSS board evaluates applicants rigorously based on criteria including the service’s value to communities such as funders, universities, libraries, authors, research managers and repositories. Applicants are also evaluated on details pertaining to their governance structure, costs, sustainability measures, and future plans.
The infrastructures who are determined to be eligible will be proposed by the coalition to the wider OA/OS community with an invitation to help fund them in a fashion similar to crowdfunding. Employing a funding structure devised and managed by SCOSS, research affiliated organisations and institutions of all sizes and funders throughout the world are requested to contribute financially to the service for a defined three-year period. This temporary funding is intended to support OA/OS service providers so that they may obtain a more secure financial footing.
Up to three services may be selected for funding during each funding cycle.
Learn more about the application process.
Note: SCOSS does not act as an intermediary in the process of coordinating and collecting funds; this transaction is handled by the infrastructure themselves. However, it works with consortia and shares out lessons with the SCOSS infrastructure family. Download Considerations regarding financial transactions between SCOSS-supported infrastructure and financiers document for details. | <urn:uuid:2ddf8b07-795f-4080-915f-790385efddf2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://scoss.org/how-it-works/ | 2024-04-24T03:37:39Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.948991 | 327 |

BOARD AGENDA MEMORANDUM
Receive Information on the Annual Work Study Session on Water Supply Master Plan Monitoring and Assessment Program Update - Drought Response Actions and the Long-term Water Supply Planning.
A. Receive Information on the Annual Work Study Session on Water Supply Master Plan Monitoring and Assessment Program Update - Drought Response Actions and the Long-term Water Supply Planning; and
B. Provide direction to staff.
Santa Clara County (County) has been in an extreme drought since 2020, with limited local surface runoff, reduced imported water supply, and low surface reservoir storage levels. In responding to the drought condition, the Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) declared a water shortage emergency condition in June 2021 that called for 15% water use reduction to minimize water shortage risk. The call for water conservation has been instrumental in reducing county-wide water use and helps alleviate the negative consequence of the ongoing drought. Since the call, county-wide water use has been reduced by 6% cumulatively against a 2019 baseline.
Since the current situation reflects past planning and implementation efforts and future conditions will be impacted by present day planning, the need to describe the link between short-term drought response actions and long-term water supply planning was raised by the Water Conservation and Demand Management Committee. This includes whether the need to call for water use reduction during droughts could be prevented by better long-range water supply planning. This memorandum provides rationales for short-term water use reduction calls within the context of long-range water supply planning. It also discusses the selection of the base year for the reduction call, as well as current efforts and next steps for enhancing future drought response actions.

In DC's June Solicitations there are 132 comic issues, hardcovers, trade paperbacks and original graphic novels listed. Of these, what has me most excited is a reprint of something 30 years old:
That, my friends, is "Superman vs. Muhammad Ali", a classic story written by Dennis O’Neil & Neal Adams with art by Adams (inks by Dick Giordano & Terry Austin) originally published in 1978 in oversized tabloid format
I still have a copy, with the Whitman logo in the top corner, so I really don't *need* this new $40 hardcover "Facsimile" edition, but I want one. If you're a Neal Adams fan, a Superman fan and/or a Muhammad Ali fan, this is a MUST HAVE! (Man, I feel like a QVC shill). It's an absolutely incredible and unique reading experience.
There's also 7x10 "Deluxe" HC edition with 16 pages of additional material which is crazily tempting, but essentially I'd be paying the $20 cover price for those 16 pages which isn't, in fact, all that enticing. Plus I think the reduced size diminishes the grand epic scale and uniqueness of the book. The bonus features should really be included in the
And then for $250 there's this:

Welcome to our culinary journey where we unravel the secrets of cooking that truly brings out the exceptional taste and enticing aroma of ingredients. At [OurGourmetTable], we are passionate about the art of cooking, and we believe that with the right techniques and understanding of ingredients, you can elevate any dish to culinary perfection. Join us as we delve into the alchemy of cooking and discover the transformative power of simple yet effective culinary methods.
1. Respect the Quality of Ingredients
At the heart of exceptional cooking lies a deep respect for the quality of ingredients. Start by selecting the freshest produce, aromatic herbs, and premium cuts of meat. The inherent flavors and aromas of fresh ingredients serve as a solid foundation for any dish. Whether it’s vibrant vegetables or succulent meats, always opt for the best quality available.
2. The Art of Seasoning
Mastering the art of seasoning is a fundamental aspect of cooking that enhances the taste and aroma of any dish. Use bold and delicate flavors strategically to complement the natural tastes of the ingredients. From kosher salt to freshly ground spices, the right balance of seasoning elevates the overall dish, coaxing out hidden depths of flavor.
3. Embrace Cooking Techniques
Different ingredients respond best to specific cooking techniques. For vegetables, consider roasting to intensify their natural sweetness or blanching to retain their vibrant colors. For meats, marinating and grilling add depth and smokiness to the dish. Delicate fish might shine when gently poached. Understanding the right cooking technique for each ingredient is the key to culinary success.
4. Layering Flavors
The art of layering flavors is a technique that professional chefs swear by. It involves building complexity by adding ingredients in a specific sequence. Begin with the foundational flavors and gradually introduce others to create depth and dimension. A well-layered dish not only tantalizes the taste buds but also releases an enchanting aroma that fills the senses.
5. The Magic of Slow Cooking
Slow cooking is a magical technique that transforms tough cuts of meat and humble ingredients into sumptuous delights. The long, slow simmering process allows flavors to meld, resulting in rich, succulent dishes that are packed with taste and aroma. From hearty stews to tender roasts, slow cooking is a culinary marvel worth mastering.
6. Harnessing the Power of Herbs and Spices
Herbs and spices are the essence of culinary alchemy. Their ability to impart complex flavors and alluring aromas is unmatched. Experiment with various combinations to find the perfect balance that enhances your dishes. From fresh basil to exotic saffron, let the bouquet of herbs and spices guide your culinary creations.
7. Balancing Sweet and Savory
A delicate balance between sweet and savory elements can elevate the taste and aroma of a dish to new heights. The subtle sweetness of caramelized onions or roasted garlic can harmonize beautifully with savory flavors. Don’t shy away from experimenting with sweet and savory pairings to create delightful surprises for the palate.
8. The Importance of Timing
Timing is everything in the world of cooking. Knowing precisely when to add each ingredient, when to raise or lower the heat, and when to let flavors meld is essential. Pay attention to the smallest details, as perfect timing can make the difference between a good dish and an extraordinary one.
9. Understanding Umami
Umami, often referred to as the fifth taste, is the savory, mouthwatering flavor found in certain ingredients like mushrooms, soy sauce, and aged cheeses. Understanding umami and incorporating it into your dishes adds a unique depth of flavor that captivates the taste buds and leaves a lasting impression.
10. Trust Your Senses
While recipes provide a foundation for cooking, don’t be afraid to trust your senses and instincts. Taste and adjust as you go, relying on your palate to guide you to culinary perfection. Like any skilled chef, let your intuition be your greatest ally in creating dishes that resonate with your taste preferences.
In conclusion, the art of cooking that brings out the taste and aroma of ingredients is a captivating journey filled with exploration and creativity. As you respect the quality of ingredients, master the art of seasoning, and embrace various cooking techniques, you’ll embark on a culinary adventure like no other. From layering flavors to harnessing the power of herbs and spices, you’ll discover the transformative magic that elevates dishes from ordinary to extraordinary. Embrace the art of culinary alchemy and unlock the true potential of your cooking, delighting yourself and your guests with every delectable creation. At [OurGourmetTable], we celebrate the joy of cooking and the boundless possibilities it offers to tantalize the taste buds and awaken the senses. | <urn:uuid:1042d509-0fb0-47fe-b178-88267166a0d3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://seisnote.com/mastering-culinary-alchemy-unlocking-the-taste-and-aroma-of-ingredients/ | 2024-04-24T03:25:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.890867 | 984 |
We’re very excited to let you know that Self Help Africa has been selected to participate in the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2016.
Big Give is the UK’s largest match funding campaign. Last year the Christmas Challenge raised more than £20,000 for our work. It’s a fantastic opportunity for us to raise funds and build awareness.
Donate online through the Big Give Christmas Challenge, and your donation to Self Help Africa could be doubled, helping your money go further for African farmers.
We’ll be raising money for our ‘Farmer Seed Enterprise’ project; providing farmers with the skills to produce their own seed. In 2017, the funds raised through the Big Give Christmas Challenge will be used to support the continuation of this work in Oromia region of Ethiopia, working in areas affected by erratic rainfall and changing weather patterns. We’ll support farmers to produce drought-tolerant seed varieties, enabling them to mitigate the worst effects of a changing climate. Better seed results in bigger harvests, which mean fewer people facing hunger.
In order to access the vital match funding that we have secured, we need to receive online donations via our Big Give page from 12pm (midday) Tuesday 29th November – 12pm Friday 2nd December 2016.
Match funding is offered on a first-come first-served basis so we recommend taking part on the first day of the challenge for the highest chance of having your donation matched. Donations will be doubled until the funds run out.
A gift of £35 this Christmas could be doubled to £70, helping to support many more farmers and their families to improve their harvests and earn a living.
Please do feel free to spread the word to anyone you might know that would be interested in supporting our work. The more donations we get doubled, the more we can help African farmers to feed their families this Christmas. | <urn:uuid:96eec1e1-ad99-4f0b-bef1-548abeec3c2f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://selfhelpafrica.org/uk/double-your-donation/ | 2024-04-24T02:58:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.94896 | 392 |
The April, 2007 Legal Learning with Jeffrey Greenberger Webinar raised one question so much, that it seemed to create a topic for this column.
Our Webinar topic of the month was late fees. The crux of the discussion was that a late fee is, by definition, a liquidated damages clause to a contract. Liquidated damage clauses are acceptable in contracts when three (3) conditions exist, specifically: (a) damages are uncertain as to the amount of difficulty to prove; (b) the contract, as a whole, is not so manifestly unconscionable, unreasonable, and disproportionate in amount as to justify the conclusion that it does not express the true intentions of the parties; and (c) the contract is consistent with the conclusion that it was the intention of the parties that the damages and the amount stated in the contract should follow a breach of such contract. If these three (3) factors do not exist the liquidated damage clause is most likely to be construed by a court as a penalty. I have previously written on the issue of late fees in self storage in ISS Magazine, if you wish to go back and review that article (April 2001 issue). The point we were making in the Webinar was that unless you are in one of the states that had a statute which fixed a reasonable late fee (Arizona, California, Kansas, Maine, Missouri, Ohio, North Carolina, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and maybe Maryland) and/or you were charging late fees multiple times per month, or that as a percentage of rent were very high, you, as a self-storage operator, may be exposed to risk of a lawsuit from the tenant who will claim that the late fees you have charged are a penalty and file a class action lawsuit.
To my readers and attendees of the Webinar, this is nothing new to you. The question that seems to be bothering most of you, however, is “What about other charges that I impose as a result of a late payment?” Several examples I received, in the form of questions, were:
1. I impose a late fee on the 5th of the month and I impose an overlock fee when I overlock the unit on the 15th of the month;
2. I charge for a pre-lien letter on the 20th of the month;
3. I charge a $25 NSF fee when a check bounces.
Other charges you mentioned were for sending certified mail, advertising, and the costs of sale. Further, you questioned what happens if your tenant comes in and makes a payment and then becomes delinquent again the next month; can you charge these same types of fees again and again each month? There are some definitive answers and some of the questions are darn good questions without a definite answer.
The first thing you need to understand is that a late fee (a liquidated damage clause) occurs without your providing a service. You have your leases set up so that on a certain date if a tenanta has not paid their rent by that date, you are going to automatically assess the charge without doing anything further to “earn” that charge. The questions above involve providing a service in exchange for imposing a fee. That is, if you are imposing an overlock charge, I hope it is because you are actually going out and putting on an overlock on the unit, checking the unit to make sure it is not empty if it is unlocked, entering the information into your computer, logging all of your activities. You actually have to take time out of your day to prepare the overlock list, to go out to inspect, to overlock, you probably also send out an overlock letter, and you have a lot of information to log back into the computer. This is actually real time you spend. You are providing a service in exchange for the fee, as opposed to simply sitting on your hands, and collecting a late fee. The same is true when sending out a pre-lien notice, inventorying the unit, advertising, etc. You are often incurring not only the costs in postage, certified mail fees, advertising fees, etc., but you are also providing a service (required or not) for that fee.
I haven’t answered the question yet, have I? Can you charge these fees and, if so, how much? The answer to that question depends on different factors:
1. Did you list and clearly disclose that the tenant might have to pay these fees in the event of late payment in your rental agreement?
2. Are your fees reasonably related to your actual costs for performing these services or adding these?
3. What does your state statute say that you are allowed to pass through to your tenant, if you have a state self storage-statute? And
4. Are there any legal opinions to the contrary in your state?
Let’s look at two different state statutes to demonstrate what the issue might be. First, Florida, Section 83.805 provides that “the owner of a self-service storage facility … has a lien upon all personal property, whether or not owned by the tenant, located at the self-service storage facility … for rent, labor charges, or other charges, present or future, in relation to the personal property and for the expenses necessary for its preservation or expenses reasonably incurred in its sale or other disposition …” This statute is broad and appears to give broad discretion to charge for the types of services that operators provide for preservation of property and expenses reasonably incurred in the sale or other disposition. While I am not a Florida licensed attorney, it would seem that this includes the costs of overlocking, relocating, sending late notices, and certainly includes the costs of advertising and sale so long all of those expenses are “reasonably” incurred. How to define “reasonable” is not the subject of this article today and you are naturally encouraged to discuss this type of language with your state licensed attorney. However, I hear from so many operators charging high fees for sending out an ordinary mail, pre-lien letter. This is where I think the industry will hurt itself. If it costs you a few dollars in time and materials to send out an ordinary mail letter and you are charging $25.00 for it, I am afraid that will eventually come back to haunt you and the rest of the industry. Certainly, people have freedom to make contract and if you have listed that item in your contract as a fee that the tenant agrees to pay in the event that you have to get that far in the default process, you certainly have an argument that there was a meeting of the minds for that fee. Unfortunately, a judge always can rule the fee unconscionable. Thus, we have discussed that the fee needs to be clearly delineated in the contract, it should be reasonably related to your costs, and your state statute needs to say it is okay.
Now, look at the West Virginia statute, Section 38-14-11(a) provides “the Owner has a self-service storage lien on all personal property stored within each leased space for agreed rent, labor, or other charges and for expenses reasonably incurred in the sale or destruction pursuant to this Article.” Does not sound that much different, does it? However, the State Attorney General in West Virginia has interpreted that section to inform a large self storage operator in the state that this section is limited. In the interpretation of the Attorney General’s office this section means you are only allowed to charge the costs that you pay for the actual storage rent and labor and for those expenses reasonably incurred in the sale, such as the hiring of an auctioneer, maybe the advertising. The State Attorney General has said agree that you cannot include pre-lien letter charges, certified mail charges, overlock charges, etc., because the State Attorney General has taken the position that these are not “expenses of the sale or other destruction.” Thus, even though this West Virginia operator had disclosed a pre-lien fee, overlock fee, etc., on his lease and the tenant had agreed to it, and the state statute was just slightly different in language than Florida’s, the difference in the language appears to be monumental.
We do not have state attorney general or case law interpretations in many states expressing opinions whether these types of “other fees” that you may charge are enforceable, but it would not surprise me to see other attorney generals following West Virginia in their own states against operators who charge other fees that are not well disclosed, not rationally related to the expense you incurred in providing the service, and, of course, if you are in a state with a state statute and your state statute is more narrow Florida statute I provided above, then you may not be entitled to collect these sorts of fees.
The second question was “Can I impose these fees every month?” If you are in fact in a situation where a tenant ends up in default and you charge a pre-lien fee, if the tenant then comes in, pays the rent, and then if he becomes delinquent again the next month, if your fees are otherwise permissible, it would seem to be permissible to charge them each time there is a default. Please notice the number of “ifs” in that sentence. What I think is very clear is that you should not be charging these types of default fees more than once per event of default. It may seem obvious that you are only going to impose one overlock fee per default, though it does seem that some operators may operate differently. I think I can say safely that is not well advised.
As always, this is a technical legal issue, one that is really well-worth sitting down with your local licensed attorney who understands self-storage law to help you. Make sure that you are acting, to the best of everyone’s knowledge, within the parameters of your lease and your state statute, if you have one. A little money spent at this time, on this issue, could result in a remarkable savings against future litigation over these types of fees.

Estevan Sentence Examples
With the Spanish governor Estevan Miro, who succeeded Galvez in 1785, James Wilkinson of Kentucky, arrested at New Orleans with a flat-boat of supplies in 1787, intrigued, promising him that Kentucky would secede from the United States and would join the Spanish; but Wilkinson was unsuccessful in his efforts to carry out this plan.
New York Bay and the Hudson river were discovered by Giovanni da Verrazano in 1524, and were probably seen by Estevan Gomez in 1525; for many years following French vessels occasionally ascended the Hudson to trade with the Indians.
Governor Estevan Miro of Louisiana, however, disapproved of the grant, on the ground that it would cause the province to be overrun by Americans; the settlers became restive under the restraints imposed upon them; Morgan himself left; and in December 1811 and January 1812 a series of severe earthquake shocks caused a general emigration.
Among these are the Gulfs of Tres Montes and San Estevan, and Tarn Bay at the entrance to Messier Channel.
In the following year Estevan Gomez, a Portuguese sailor in the service of the emperor Charles V., in his reputed voyage southward from Labrador, is said to have made note of the Hudson and Delaware rivers. | <urn:uuid:703c0b68-3ba4-4b8e-99dd-3b4ac05ac4a0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://sentence.yourdictionary.com/estevan | 2024-04-24T04:00:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.977506 | 273 |

Launched in 2008, it has quickly become one of the leading platforms in the music industry, with millions of users worldwide. Spotify allows users to access music from various genres and artists, both mainstream and independent, making it a go-to platform for music enthusiasts. It offers personalized recommendations based on users’ listening habits and preferences, creating curated playlists and discovering new music. With its user-friendly interface and seamless integration across devices, Spotify has revolutionized the way people consume music, providing a convenient and enjoyable experience for music lovers everywhere.
Notable Outage Incidents with Spotify
One of the most notable outages in Spotify’s history occurred on July 10, 2020, when the music streaming platform experienced a widespread disruption that affected users across the globe. The outage lasted for several hours, leaving millions of Spotify users unable to access their favorite music and playlists. This incident sparked frustration and disappointment among users who heavily rely on the platform for their daily dose of music.
The outage was caused by an internal technical glitch within Spotify’s infrastructure. The company later revealed that a bug in their software caused a cascading failure, leading to a significant disruption in their service. This bug affected the platform’s ability to authenticate user logins, resulting in users being unable to access their accounts or stream music.
As news of the outage spread, social media platforms were flooded with complaints and inquiries from frustrated users. Many expressed their disappointment and frustration, as they were unable to enjoy their music during work, workouts, or leisure time. The outage also impacted Spotify’s reputation, as users questioned the reliability of the platform and its ability to handle such technical issues.
Spotify’s technical team worked diligently to identify and resolve the issue. They kept users updated through their official Twitter account, acknowledging the problem and assuring users that they were working on a fix. After several hours of downtime, Spotify gradually restored its services, allowing users to regain access to their accounts and resume streaming music.
This outage served as a reminder of the challenges faced by technology companies in maintaining uninterrupted services for millions of users worldwide. It highlighted the importance of robust infrastructure and effective bug detection and prevention mechanisms. Spotify took this incident as an opportunity to learn and improve its systems, ensuring that such disruptions would be minimized in the future.
Despite the frustration caused by this outage, Spotify’s loyal user base remained largely supportive, recognizing that technical issues can occur even with the most reliable platforms. The incident also highlighted the strong community surrounding Spotify, as users shared their favorite alternative music platforms and playlists to help each other during the downtime.
Overall, the July 2020 outage of Spotify was a significant event in the platform’s history, causing inconvenience and disappointment for millions of users worldwide. However, it also served as a reminder of the challenges faced by technology companies and the importance of continuous improvement to ensure uninterrupted services. | <urn:uuid:409c2d11-927e-4923-8d2b-fe1fa3467e10> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://seovigil.io/is-spotify-down/ | 2024-04-24T03:42:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.968827 | 613 |

House of the Dragon spoilers follow.
House of the Dragon star Paddy Considine has revealed he harboured some “disappointment” over the role of Viserys Targaryen.
The actor appeared as the King of the Seven Kingdoms in the first season of the fantasy drama, but was killed off during the eighth episode.
“Yeah, I was told that [Viserys would die]. That was the first tiny bit of disappointment,” he said. “But then I saw the character arc and his demise, and I thought he was a gift. Sometimes things just come to you at the right moments. I feel like I was ready for him.
“A couple of years earlier, I wouldn’t have played him so well, bizarrely. But I’ve done a big theatre run in the West End and New York. Because I wasn’t trained in acting, I felt like, somehow, I finally done my school and learned something about the craft.
“I learned a sense of freedom. There’s nowhere to hide on stage. Sometimes in characters, I’d hidden in them, instead of express them, if that makes sense,” he continued. “I saw all this conflict in him. I saw all this dignity. Those were really interesting things to play, to be a dignified man in that cutthroat world.”
Considine had previously talked about the scene in which Viserys passed away, with the actor saying he was “in tears” when watching the emotional scene back.
Whilst Considine won’t be appearing in the second season of House of the Dragon, production on the follow-up is now well underway. The new cast members for the next run of episodes include Freddie Fox, Abubakar Salim, Simon Russell Beale and Gayle Rankin.

Like many other things in life, I love to follow World fashion too. Excuse me; I did not say news, although I should have said that to sound fancier. Truth be told guys, this girl follows Fashion news to the core.
While growing up my mom always told me to ‘own’ the clothes I wear, even if it was a sack for that matter. And when I see others doing it, that too in front of so many cameras that judge you, scrutinize you all the time for your weight, color, and brand value is something I admire. As I shared on my Facebook page, the dress Lupita Nyong (12 years a slave – loved it) was wearing for her Cannes2015 appearance and how she owned it really. It was a beautiful pleated green dress by Gucci. It gave me a crazy adrenaline rush when I saw Lupita walking the red carpet twirling that gigantic dress like a bird flying in the sky and showing off her wings to the Sun as if.
The green color of her dress reminded me of my own almost forgotten post, which we shot sometime in March. I knew I will be inviting a lot of comments for my color choice and it did not bother me a bit. The girl is just a frog waiting to be kissed to turn into a princess. Then yeah maybe you might see me going all pink in the ‘Suit it up’ series. Until then, the teeny little frog will wear as much green as she wants to and will try not looking like a Hulk ever, I promise.
I have had this pant from Old Navy since years now, since the time ‘neons’ were not in fashion. And this Blazer from Zara is kind of the best investment ever. I love Blazers, and love to layer my pieces with this bright one all the time. These two pieces were made for each other and hence I got it to Suit-up.You too can try pairing same shades of any color and have your own fancy suit in much cheaper price. I am all for cheap stuff looking fancy guys.
I paired it with a plain black shirt with lace sleeves playing peek-a-boo from inside the Blazer. I added a small bag to carry my essentials and paired the look with sneakers as opposed to Stilettos. I loved how easy to carry this look was with my comfy shoes on. #Sportsluxe on point maybe.
I love this whole trend of pairing all the feminine clothing with your sneakers. I never knew I am such a fashion person that something as simple as wearing sneakers with everything would be called as a trend in 2015. Hello, aren’t we tomboys doing it all the time? Though I do agree it takes chic to some other level altogether and secretly is a boon for my tired ankles.
The point is, there will be people who would comment on your choices in life. And i am not talking about big things here. Something as simple as how you dress, how you behave or even how you laugh. There will always be some negativity around if you do not follow the ‘norm’ as we call it. The thing is in the end you need to have absolute faith in your choices and stand by it. Then these little teeny tiny negative air won’t bother a bit ever. And we will not lose our beauty sleep over it. okay? okay!
So, how are you wearing your sneakers today?

Our hair care products address hair concerns from two perspectives - care and cure. Hair care refers to maintenance mainly which means keeping scalp/hair free from dandruff, dirt, nits, lice, flakes, dryness, and irritation. This keeps hair clean and is mandatory to minimise hair loss. While cure implies reactivating those hair follicles in the resting phase and improving volume. In general, including our products in your hair care regime is all you need to strengthen your hair. That's why we recommend nourishing from the outside and inside. Our products, may it be shampoo or tablets, are enriched with vitamins and minerals that may be most important for hair growth, especially Vitamin A and B Vitamins. | <urn:uuid:07bf89f4-31b0-4752-8ec1-7ac60e152ed7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://shop.kosmoderma.com/concerns/haircare-range/ | 2024-04-24T01:50:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.950484 | 145 |
Whether you’re looking for a way to relax, sleep, relieve pain or improve your mood, CBD gummies are the perfect choice. They’re easy to take, have attractive models, and are available in many different potencies.
Which is better hemp or CBD?
Choosing the best cbd gummies on the market for you involves choosing one that’s broad-spectrum, made from organic hemp, and tested by third-party labs. These gummies also have a good taste. Aside from being delicious, they’re also effective for reducing stress, anxiety, and insomnia.
When choosing the best CBD gummies, choose a company that offers an easy and secure shipping process. It’s also important to make sure that the company has a Certificate of Analysis on their website. The Certificate of Analysis will tell you what’s in the product and how it’s been tested. It’s also a good idea to choose a company with a 60-day money back guarantee.
For those who are new to CBD gummies, it’s a good idea to start with a low potency. This will help you to gauge your body’s response and know how much to take. Taking one or two gummies at a time will help you get a better idea of how much CBD you’re consuming.
If you want to know the best CBD gummies for anxiety, look for those that contain between 2.5 and 5 milligrams of CBD. You can also try to find a product that is THC-free. CBD has anti-inflammatory and anticonvulsant properties, and can help to reduce stress and insomnia. | <urn:uuid:a4f33610-957e-46ee-a845-a07c7d5405bb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://shopbelina.com/choosing-the-best-cbd-gummies-on-the-market/ | 2024-04-24T03:52:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.951283 | 349 |

At P+M we spend time thoughtfully reflecting on what good design means to us. We think about how we can bring new items and designs to our customers that reflect who you are, what you believe in and what you love. We're excited to go "behind the design" with you, and share how our pieces came to life!
First up, two of our new summer 2021 designs!
The "Chill Out" design features a red white and blue design similar to the firecracker popsicles (also known as rocket pops) from our childhood. We don't know about you but we can practically taste that treat when looking at this shirt!!
One of the consequences of "hyperactivity" is having teachers, parents, family telling you constantly to CHILL OUT or RELAX, despite the inability for most kids with hyperactivity to control their energy levels. Although no kid in the history of ever has chilled out by being told to chill out, gentle reminders are helpful to help them consider their actions that are within their control.
That's the story behind these designs. Both are available in store and online now. We hope you love them as much as we do! | <urn:uuid:38cdafb9-1906-452a-a2a7-73219a562c5e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://shopportageandmain.com/en-us/blogs/news/behind-the-design | 2024-04-24T03:20:43Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.98023 | 240 |

Short Film of the Day July 20, 2020
drama · Short Films · english
If a short film is simply the portrayal of a moment in its characters' life, the choice of this particular moment by Miranda Manziano exhibits uniqueness and originality of thought. Velour opens on a note of calmness; it's morning and a woman sleeps in her pristinely white bed, wrinkled enough only to reveal the presence of its occupant. However, this sense of tranquility is disturbed, before the viewer becomes too comfortable, by the protagonist's screams into her pillow.
It is important to spend time allowing this image to sink in as the perfect harbinger of what's to come - a sincere engagement with trauma and the manner in which it comes to affect the life of someone who grapples with it on a daily basis. After the emptiness and the silence of her house, Valentina is introduced to the viewer as being a senior professional in a fashion house, a woman who is quite the opposite of what they might have been led to assume so far. This juxtaposition is especially interesting for it will serve to accentuate and amplify the sentiment and series of events that are about to follow.
The protagonist's struggle to overcome a traumatic experience of a sexual assault leads her to a dominatrix, Velour, introducing the audience to the premise of the film. Through the controlled interactions of its characters, the short film presents a relevant engagement with trauma, mental health, sexual violence, and progress just when things seem too bleak. While growth and recovery might not follow a linear trajectory, there is indeed something to be said about the hope and motivation to never give in, to forever keep pushing instead of succumbing to the darkness, and it is in this reminder that the film acquires all its power, foregrounding the experience of a survivor who is more than what her trauma often threatens to reduce her to, and who is perhaps finally on the path of overcoming and vanquishing the darkness within once and for all. | <urn:uuid:1785947f-9482-4e7f-89fc-249634357da9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://shortedfilms.com/short-films/velour-miranda-manziano/ | 2024-04-24T03:52:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.965575 | 406 |

Have you ever been at a concert, sporting event, or festival and wondered about the blue stuff found in portable restrooms? If you have ever used a porta potty and dared to peek inside, you likely noticed the bright blue liquid inside the tank. But what is it? The blue liquid is a disinfectant and deodorizer added to portable restrooms to help minimize any unpleasant odors. Below, we will take a more in-depth look into this blue substance and how we all benefit from its use.
If you are interested in learning more about porta potty maintenance or are looking for a luxury portable restroom rental in Southern California, give Showbiz Rentals a call. Our restroom rental experts are ready to assist you 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For affordable and convenient portable restroom rentals, call (818) 431-2539 today.
The Benefits of Portable Restrooms
Portable toilets not only offer a fast and convenient temporary sanitation solution but also provide an environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional toilets. Porta potties allow for the proper disposal of waste, protecting vegetation from toxic waste and wildlife from the spread of disease.
But perhaps the most significant benefit of portable restrooms is water conservation. The Portable Sanitation Association estimates portable restrooms save more than over 125 million gallons of water daily due to their ability to dispose of waste without the use of water. However, since waste is not being flushed away, porta potty providers must take a proactive approach to minimizing unpleasant odors.
Why Do Porta Potties Contain Blue Liquid?
The blue liquid inside portable restrooms has a very specific purpose. Since porta potties do not flush waste away, the waste must remain in the tank for a prolonged amount of time, which can lead to unpleasant smells. The blue liquid, an extremely strong disinfectant and deodorizer, is added to the tank to combat odors. The disinfectant most commonly used in portable restrooms is a form of chlorine, containing a concentration ranging from 0.05% to 0.50%. Chlorine is effective in killing bacteria and other microorganisms and in breaking down waste.
Why Is It Blue?
The deodorizer itself is not blue. The blue dye is added to the solution to mask the waste contained inside the tank. With regular cleaning and maintenance, the blue dye should be effective at concealing most of the tank’s contents. Adding a strong deodorizer to mask odors and a blue dye to mask the waste ensures users will have a more pleasant experience.
What Is in the Blue Liquid?
In addition to the blue dye, the disinfecting liquid contains the following:
- Biocides – A primary active ingredient in a portable restroom’s blue liquid, biocides prevent the growth of bacteria that release unpleasant odors. Biocides inhibit rapid growth, minimizing the foul smells that can be found in porta potties.
- Surfactants – These are substances that reduce surface tension, increasing the liquid’s wetting and spreading properties. Increasing these properties allows the chlorine to better penetrate the waste, improving the solution’s cleaning power.
- Fragrances – To further mask any unpleasant odors, strong yet pleasant fragrances are added to the deodorizer.
Is the Blue Liquid Safe?
In diluted form, the substances in today’s porta potty’s blue liquid are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. This is a significant improvement over the harsh chemicals used in the past. Previously, hazardous chemicals, such as formaldehyde, were used to deodorize porta potties. However, the use of formaldehyde, a known carcinogen, was discontinued as states began banning the substance.
Luxury Restroom Rentals Offer an Even Better Experience
The blue liquid has drastically improved the experience of using a portable toilet. However, some rental companies aim to further improve the experience by offering luxury portable restrooms. Features offered in luxury restroom rentals vary. However, some popular features that can be offered in high-end restroom rental trailers include the following:
- Spacious accommodations
- Multiple Stalls
- Air Conditioning and Heating
- Increased ventilation
- Sinks, Soap, and Paper Towels
Some luxury restroom rental companies take it a step further, offering running water and flushable toilets.

Difficulty Starting Urinating – Men Only!
There’s a common cause that’s specific to men:
The prostate is a gland that is exclusive to men. It’s located in an area surrounding the tube responsible for the outward flow of urine (the urethra).
The prostate gland often enlarges as we age. This doesn’t necessarily mean prostate cancer – it’s commonplace for benign growth of the gland. As it surrounds the urethra it’s logical that any expansion is going to put increased pressure on it and that’s going to cause difficulty starting urination and maintaining a flow.
Obviously, this condition is exclusive to the male sex but is one of the most common reasons for urinary hesitancy.
Difficulty Starting Urinating – Just Women!
Urinary hesitation is actually less common in women than men. For women who have just given birth though this is a fairly common, temporary problem that stems from damage to the nerves around the bladder and urethra as a direct result of childbirth.
Apart from that, and any type of STI or UTI that maybe exclusive to women there’s nothing else that can only affect the female of the species in relation to urinary hesitancy.
Yes … shy bladder syndrome can, and often does, cause a difficulty starting urination but it’s more likely something else. That’s why you need to seek professional medical advice on this to establish exactly what the cause is.
It’s especially important to prioritise this medical consultation if you have other symptoms too. Symptoms such as vomiting or nausea, high temperature or pain in the lower back area. Make that call without delay in these cases. Medical options need to be considered.
One final word on this and we don’t wish to cause alarm but if the condition has deteriorated and you can’t urinate at all this is called urinary retention. And, if this is the case, you need to seek emergency help right away. This could become very serious if not treated early enough so really, don’t delay!
If the diagnosis turns out to be the psychological disorder that we know as shy bladder syndrome then treatment is going to be very different. The challenge will be to repair a fault in the mind rather than a physical problem. But don’t worry … you CAN beat paruresis. Check out our shy bladder treatment reviews. | <urn:uuid:9089b635-affb-45a6-8037-f84cb25198f4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://shybladdersyndrome.org/shy-bladder-syndrome-information/difficulty-starting-urination/ | 2024-04-24T03:05:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.942175 | 504 |

Six miles from Market Harborough, resting between gentle rolling hills in the heart of some of England’s most beautiful countryside, lies the sleepy village of Sibbertoft.
Steeped in history, Sibbertoft is certainly not a place without interest or beauty.
They say you can tell a lot about a village by its gardens. The gardens of Sibbertoft denote a very caring community.

Welcome to Simon Hill Holistics
As a blind person since the age of four, touch has been a crucial sense to help me interpret the world around me. I have experienced the physical and mental benefits of massage for many years, and so when I found myself out of work and trying without success to find a way back in, I decided to learn how to deliver a professional massage myself, and use my heightened sense of touch to pass on the benefits I have experienced to other people.
My experience as a former international blind footballer and Paralympian, has taught me how important it is to look after both our body and mind. Although regular exercise is good for our physical and mental health, it does take its toll on our muscles, and if not taken care of tension can build up causing pain and discomfort. I know how much massage has helped me recover from and manage injuries over the years, and by passing on the knowledge I have picked up I’m confident I can help with whatever issue you have.
Benefits of Massage
The benefits of Massage include,
- Reducing stress in your mind and muscles, which helps to improve sleep and reduce headaches.
- Releasing of oxytocin, serotonin, endorphins and dopamine, also known as the four happy hormones.
- Improved Blood circulation, helping to flush out Lactic Acid and Uric acid which can build up in muscles and cause pain.
- Increased circulation also means more oxygen delivered to your muscles which boosts your energy levels.
- Improves Posture and increases flexibility and range of motion in your joints.
So if you have some knots and niggles that need ironing out, or you would just like some relaxation time to clear your mind, have a look at the different massage treatments I offer, and contact me to discuss your requirements.
Please visit my Facebook Page – Simon Hill Holistics for the latest information and reviews:

This recipe is all about romance, and I don’t mean just the lovey-dovey Valentine’s Day romance, but the romance that can be found in enjoying the every day beauties of life. You know, “stopping to smell the roses.” Even when I was single I loved Valentine’s Day. Although I would feel twinges of loneliness, I guess it was never that sad for me because there is so much to love and be thankful for in life. Anyone who knows me well knows that I don’t lead an excessively charmed life, and I’ve seen a fair amount of sadness and dysfunction. I truly feel, however, that there is beauty and romance to be found in most of life’s experiences, even the hard ones, if I take the time to look for it.
Sometimes it can be as simple as noticing something little that I take for granted: The way the cold snow sparkles as the sun is rising. The sweet hum my son makes when he’s playing. The sparkle in my friend’s eyes when she tells me she’s going to have a baby. The fact that my husband makes me coffee before work. The proud look on my son’s face as he shows me how he cleaned my bathroom with an entire bottle of hand soap. The stories and wisdom my 95 year-old patient relates in her old, tired, and grateful voice…
Aside from your relationship status, and whatever stage of life you’re in, take some time today to think about the simple snippets of beauty and romance in your life. After all, life is usually as good a we choose to perceive it!
Whether you’re making this recipe for your lover, for those you love, or for the joy of cooking and all things beets, it’s about loving the simple and somewhat necessary experience of making dinner. So, to make this romantic Beet Pasta with Pistachios and Shallot Butter properly, you will need a glass of red wine and some romantic sounding Italian music, and then be prepared to get your hands dirty, feel the pasta dough between your fingers, and be swept away by the beauty of homemade pasta.
Beet Pasta with Pistachios and Shallot Butter
- 1 C cubed red beets
- 3 C whole wheat flour
- 1 C white flour
- 4 eggs
- White flour for dusting (count on needing about 1 C)
- large pot with 12 C of water
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp salt
- 4 Tbsp butter
- 3 medium shallots, diced
- 5 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- juice from 1 lemon
- zest from 1 lemon
- 3/4 C chopped pistachios
- 4 oz goat cheese
- 3/4 cooked red beet, cut into match sticks
1. Cube 1 C of cooked red beets and puree until smooth in a food processor. Cut 3/4 C of cooked red beets into matchsticks and set aside. You can cook your own red beets in advance using my post on How To Make Baked Beets, or you can find them precooked in the refrigerator section of most grocery stores.
2. Make a mound of your whole wheat and regular flour on a table or counter, dig a well into the center of it and add your eggs and beet puree to the middle. Learn from my mistake below, and make your well plenty big to hold everything!
3. Beat your eggs and beet puree together with a fork and then begin working the flour into the center of your well until the beet and egg mixture is combined with the flour.
4. Knead your pasta dough together for 5 minutes.
5. After kneading, wrap your pasta up with plastic wrap and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. Rushing this will result result in a bready textured pasta (yuk)!
6. Once 30 minutes have elapsed, knead your dough for another 3 minutes (you’ll notice that the texture of your dough is much smoother now), and then divide it into four pieces. Dust a large work surface, such as kitchen table or counter, with flour and then rub your rolling pin and dough balls with flour. This will prevent sticking to your rolling pin and the table.
7. Roll your dough ball out in an rectangular/oval type shape until it’s about 1 mm thick (as pictured). You will need to flip the dough a couple of times while rolling it out to dust it and the rolling pin with more flour so that it doesn’t begin to stick to everything.
8. Cut your noodles to your desired thickness using a sharp knife. Remember that once cooked, the noodle will get bigger.
9. Hang your noodles to dry for 30 minutes. If you’re like me and have a relatively low-tech kitchen, you can always make your own pasta rack. I lightly sprayed a cookie rack with olive oil and then hung the pasta over it.
10. While your pasta is drying, bring 12 cups of water, 1 Tbsp of olive oil and 2 tsp salt to a boil to cook the pasta in.
11. Before adding the pasta to the water, saute your shallots in butter over medium heat until they become soft (about 5 minutes). Add your garlic, salt, and pepper to the pan and saute an additional minute. Finally, add the juice of one lemon and then remove from heat.
12. Next add your pasta to the pot of boiling water. Depending on the thickness of your pasta, boil for 1-3 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when it begins to float towards the top.
13. Once the pasta is cooked, add it to the pan of sautéed shallots, being sure to reserve the pasta water. Place the pan on medium-low heat, coat the pasta in the shallot butter, and cook with 1/4 C of reserved pasta water until heated through. If the pasta seems dry, just add additional pasta water. Take note: reserving your pasta water and adding it to your pasta dishes is one of the secrets to amazing pasta.
14. Once your dish is heated through, sprinkle it with chopped pistachios, julienned cooked beets, fresh lemon zest, and creamy goat cheese.

There are a few Frugal wins this past week so here goes....
* Evelyn/Evelyn the Egret has moved on and we didn't see him/her this past week. I blame the lack of rain filling up the fishing holes in the yard. Goodbye for now my bird friend.

Games as a Service (GaaS) is a model in which video games are developed as a continually supported service, providing ongoing content updates, features, and bug fixes. This model allows developers to keep players engaged and encourages them to spend money on in-game purchases, ultimately generating more revenue for the developer.
Benefits of GaaS
One of the biggest benefits of GaaS is that it allows developers to create a long-term relationship with their players. By providing regular updates, bug fixes, and new content, developers can keep their games fresh and exciting for players. This can lead to increased player engagement and loyalty, which in turn can lead to more revenue for the developer.Another benefit of GaaS is that it allows developers to test out new features or content before releasing them to the broader player base. By doing this, they can gather feedback and make adjustments before rolling out the new content to everyone. This can help to ensure a better player experience overall.
Drawbacks of GaaS
One potential drawback of GaaS is that players may become resentful of constant in-game purchases or updates. Some players may view this model as a way for developers to nickel-and-dime them, rather than providing a complete and polished game from the start. Additionally, some players may feel pressured to constantly stay up-to-date with new content or features, even if they don’t necessarily enjoy or want it.
Overall, Games as a Service can be a beneficial model for both developers and players. By continually updating, adding new content and testing it, this model can keep games fresh and engaging over the long-term. While there are some potential drawbacks, GaaS has proven to be popular with players and developers alike, and it’s likely to continue to be a prominent model in the gaming industry for the foreseeable future. | <urn:uuid:4b98e489-3d8b-4812-81af-a7833653c64f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://simplexitygames.org/games-as-a-service-gaas-5/ | 2024-04-24T02:03:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.951706 | 466 |
Get ready to upgrade your Discovery ads with Demand Gen
Consumers today are presented with an array of content options, ranging from lengthy live streams to brief Shorts, leading to diverse responses at varying paces and in various manners. In June, Google unveiled Demand Gen, a cutting-edge AI-driven campaign aimed at amplifying creativity and generating demand. This innovation is crafted to assist advertisers on social platforms in identifying and converting consumers through captivating, pertinent, and visually engaging creatives that seize attention and incite action at the opportune moment. Demand Gen is instrumental in stimulating conversions, site visits, and actions such as sign-ups and cart additions across our entertainment-centric touchpoints, encompassing YouTube (including Shorts), Discover, and Gmail.
Today, Google announced that you can get access to the new features of Demand Gen by registering for our beta program [here]. If you currently have an active Discovery campaign, it will seamlessly transition to Demand Gen once you opt into the beta, ensuring uninterrupted service. As of October, Discovery ads will be eligible for an upgrade to Demand Gen.
Demand Gen features to elevate performance beyond the familiar realm of Discovery Ads
Based on a Google/Ipsos survey, 1 out of 3 consumers claim to have purchased on Google feeds (such as Discover and Gmail) for items they initially weren’t seeking. Additionally, 86% of Gen Z users affirm that YouTube aids them in discovering new products of interest. Demand Gen campaigns introduce a suite of potent new features tailored to the requirements of today’s social marketers.
- Diversify your narrative with a blend of video and image ads in one campaign: Engage your audiences with an array of ad formats, encompassing short-form videos, carousels, portraits, and square images, all within a single campaign.
- Expand your reach with Lookalike segments: Leverage your first-party data, and we’ll correlate it with Google’s audience intent and interest cues to help you connect with potential customers akin to those who have already interacted with your brand, using inputs like previous purchases, website and app activity, or YouTube engagement.
- Tailor performance based on your distinct objectives: Just like with Discovery ads, you can optimize Demand Gen for conversions or employ value-based bidding strategies. Alternatively, if you’re aiming to steer high-value customers to your website, you can optimize for site visits and actions through Maximize Clicks bidding.
- Launch campaigns confidently utilizing new ad previews: With an overhauled workflow and updated ad previews, you can effortlessly visualize how your creatives will appear on diverse platforms. Moreover, you can fine-tune your placements for optimal campaign performance with A/B experimentation.
Anticipated Benefits of the Discovery Ads Upgrade
Starting today, sign up for the Demand Gen beta to upgrade your Discovery ads: Upon beta enrollment, you’ll be able to create new Demand Gen campaigns, leveraging the latest features. For existing Discovery campaigns, the transition to Demand Gen will be seamless, preserving all historical data and insights for consistent performance. You can explore the revamped UI and commence optimizing your Demand Gen campaigns with the added features.
Starting in October, Demand Gen campaigns will be accessible to all advertisers in Google Ads, and your Discovery campaigns will be eligible for upgrades: Reach out to your Google account team to facilitate the upgrade of your Discovery campaigns. In the absence of a designated Google account team, your Discovery campaigns will automatically transition by November, ensuring the preservation of all historical data and insights. You can then begin optimizing your campaigns with the new features of Demand Gen post-upgrade.
Beginning in early 2024, all remaining Discovery campaigns will undergo automatic upgrades: Between January and March 2024, all outstanding Discovery campaigns will be seamlessly transitioned to Demand Gen, equipping you with enhanced AI-powered features to bolster demand in the new year.
Prepare for Campaign Upgrades with Additional Resources
In the upcoming months, we’ll share more resources and best practices to facilitate a smooth transition during your upgrade process. Meanwhile, take a look at this overview of what’s new with Demand Gen, or visit the Google Ads Help Center. Stay tuned to @GoogleAds for updates throughout the process.

Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) is a technology that directly affects a user's vestibular system by altering their sense of balance and direction through electrical stimulation via electrodes placed on the mastoid bones behind each ear. In standing users, GVS evokes a prolonged galvanic body sway.In walking users, it affects balance and produces anodal staggered foot placements (Fig a, b). However, in walking users, when their head is pitched forward, it causes them to turn smoothly from their planned trajectory in the anodal direction (Fig c, d). In this work, we explore GVS as a collaborative navigation interface in an asymmetrical VR game, Dark Room. A VR player equipped with the GVS device, and a non-VR player who can control the GVS stimulus (time, duration, direction) to steer the walking trajectory of the VR player, work together in an 'escape the room' like game.

Long ago I read that when a mouse was put into a cobra's enclosure to feed it, the mouse ran up to the cobra, bit it, and ran into a corner. The cobra eventually died of an infection since snakes have very weak immune systems.
Searching for that story on the internet, I found a similar story in The Telegraph 09 October 2008 about a mouse killing a viper in Taiwan.
This article warns that live mice & rodents fed to pet snakes could injure them.
You may be surprised to learn that one of the risks of giving a live rodent to a pet snake for dinner is the possibility that the snake will wind up getting bitten. Rodent bites range from small and superficial to severe, deep punctures. These bites can damage the snake’s eyes, tongue, mouth, and even internal organs and spine. They also have the potential to introduce harmful bacteria into the snake’s system.
“Superficial wounds are treated with supportive measures, antibiotics, and pain medications. However, deep wounds may require surgery to correct and can even lead to the death of the snake,” says Dr. Keller.

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots player Mikyle Louis who is from St Kitts was forced to leave the 2021 Hero Caribbean Premier League (CPL) after breach of the tournament operating protocols.
He will take no further part in this year’s competition, a media release said.
“The tournament bubble will be maintained for the entire duration of the tournament and no one from outside the bubble will be allowed in at any of the bubble locations. Conversely, no one from inside the bubble will be allowed out of the main bubble areas. Persons who break these rules will be expelled from the tournament – no exceptions,” the 2021 protocols state.
Speaking on the incident, Hero CPL’s Tournament Operations Director, Michael Hall said: “Following the receipt of some tragic news about a close friend, the player took the unfortunate and ill-advised decision to leave the hotel bubble without permission. While the league is sympathetic about the circumstances which led to the player’s decision, it cannot allow the integrity of its Covid-secure bubble to be compromised.” (PR) | <urn:uuid:403d6b6e-ca27-41d1-9772-3384dae39995> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://sknpulse.com/st-kitts-and-nevis-patriots-player-forced-out-of-hero-cpl/ | 2024-04-24T01:59:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.940865 | 225 |

The Nike Air Force 1 Wild isn’t going anywhere.
Introduced to the world in April, the reworked Air Force 1 has emerged in handfuls of color schemes over the last six months. Retro Nike Hike and ACG design cues are abundant on the updated silhouette, further distancing the “presidential” sneaker from the hardwood. Bruce Kilgore’s blueprint is evident on the style, but the old school basketball sneaker has been prepped for the trails via modified materials, extra accoutrements, and a different sole unit.
A light green tone covers the bulk of the textile and suede upper. Stitching at the lateral forefoot and lace loops along the tongue introduce rich blue contrast; non-standard pull tabs on the top of the tongue and bootie-like collar follow suit. The two-tone arrangement doesn’t overtly reference a single item, but falls in line with early hiking footwear from Nike – the brand favored vibrant greens, yellows, purples, blues, and other tones for the trails. Nike Hike differed from the sea of brown boots that dominated off-road adventures throughout the 1970s and 80s. Underfoot, sole units don’t do much in terms of eye-catching colors, but their textile-wrapped midsole and aggressive traction deliver reliable, comfortable performance.
No firm nike.com launch date has been disclosed by the brand as of this writing, but that’s likely to change soon. In the meantime, enjoy official photos of the pair ahead. The Air Force 1 Wild is priced at $145 USD.

Blood-sucking parasites give the dog a lot of discomfort, causing it to comb, and carry a variety of dangerous diseases. Today, there are many ways to stop fleas and ticks disturbing the animal effortlessly. Shampoos, sprays, wipes impregnated with a special compound, oral medications and solutions for removing flea and tick stings from the skin are sold in every veterinary pharmacy. But the most successful solution would be a collar that will help remove parasites and prevent their reappearance convenient and safe for the dog.
Moreover, it does not require water or a comb. To apply it, you do not need to fight with an energetic pet, forcing it to stand still. It is not necessary to unclench the animal’s teeth and force it to swallow pills that kill fleas and ticks. The collar is convenient; it’s easy to put it on, does not irritate the sharp scent of the pet with pungent odors. Eight month warranty.
It is a plastic flexible strap that wraps around the animal’s neck like a habitual collar. The active saturation substance gets on the hair. Fleas keep move under the coat and fall under the accessory’s influence at least once a day, followed by their death. In a week, all parasites die and they are not return until the effective work of the natural substances is over.
And when it expires, simply replace the old collar with a new one. Dangerous blood-sucking insects, fleas and ticks won’t bite your animal, and you and your pet will be able to enjoy games and walks in nature.
The collar looks like the most ordinary strip of flexible plastic, if you put it on the dog’s neck and snap a convenient buckle, the agent contained in the plastic base will slowly soak into the coat and spread over the animal’s skin. When this happens, the fleas and ticks will be affected by the active ingredients of the product. And the parasites will not attack your pet. Thus, it is an effective way to exterminate fleas and ticks and also an effective remedy for prevention.
The protection will not lose its strength either, even if the animal gets wet in the pouring rain, gets dirty or swims in the pond. It is impossible to wash off or erase the substance because of its water-repellent properties. The warranty is as long as indicated in the instructions, regardless of the operating conditions and the pet character.
Every dog owner is fond of his faithful friend and strives to get the best flea collar for dog. One may have important questions – will a substance aimed at eliminating fleas have a negative effect on the leather of pets, such as itching or vomit?
The right choice is to purchase anti-flea remedies from reliable manufacturers who care about pet health. Sobaken is a brand that is highly rated among most animal owners. It produces dog tick and flea collars that are safe for animal life.
Reasons for this:
We care about the health of our four-legged clients and carefully monitor that the ingredients of the active mixtures are safe for puppies and adult dogs. The collars provide a natural, not chemical, barrier to fleas and ticks, contain no harmful substances, and therefore are recommended by veterinarians for use as soon as your little friend is 3 months old.
After contact with our products for the destruction of blood-sucking insects, dogs do not show signs of deterioration. They do not have itching, skin irritation, vomiting and other unpleasant symptoms. But animals, like people, can have allergic reactions, so follow the behavior of the animal for some time after using the collar and make sure that it feels comfortable. Do it only at first. Later, after changing expired products, you will be sure your pet will wear it without problems.
Sobaken flea collar for puppy is absolutely safe for dog. If you have two puppies or kittens living in a private house who drag each other by the collar during active playing, it won’t harm them. You can put flea collar on puppy from two months.
The natural substances that the saturation of the Sobaken brand products contains won’t harn sick and pregnant dogs and won’t cause any side effects.
There are three main types of collars that ticks and fleas are afraid of. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Ultrasonic type scare away dangerous insects emitting sounds at a high frequency while walking. However, their effectiveness is doubtful by many people.
Insecticide type can kill fleas and ticks, inhibit larval development, and are durable. However, they can be unsafe for the dog itself, especially if you have two animals at home, which often bite each other.
Repellant dog flea and tick collars Sobaken are as safe as possible. Essential oils and herbal extracts not chemical components are used to repel ticks and fleas without harm. If you are concerned about the safety of your pet, this is the best choice.
Besides, the use of this product demonstrates the highest efficiency. This is confirmed by the numerous positive reviews of pet owners who were able to remove fleas and other blood-sucking insects from the animal once and forever, and the recommendations of veterinarians who respond favorably to it.
If you can’t decide on your own, check with your veterinarian about which collar is best for your pet.
It’s very important to care of the health of dogs and unacceptable to expose an animal to the danger of extermination of fleas and ticks. That is why our brand collars are without chemical insecticides. We use natural mixtures for cleaning the animal’s hair from harmful insects. They are safe for animals, but at the same time effective against various arthropods.
The scents of peppermint oil, clove and citronella will keep fleas and ticks away from your dog, but won’t make your dog feel ill, irritate its skin or nauseate it. Let your caudate pets wearing our collars play and run gaily without being distracted by itching, and let ticks, fleas and dangerous diseases that they carry from one animal to another (for example, ehrlichiosis) don’t disturb your pets! From now on, each of your dogs will be protected.

Relapse Prevention: Here’s Everything You Need To Know About Relapse Prevention
November 13, 2018
What Is Relapse?
Understanding relapse is the key to helping you understand the significance of relapse prevention. Relapse is the process of returning to heavy alcohol use, following a period of abstinence. It is a transitional process, marked by a series of events that unfold time after time during the addiction recovery process.
According to research done by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, 60 percent or more of people struggling with addiction will return to the old behavior within a year of drug recovery process. Recovery is not as easy as many people think and possibility of relapse is always present. Relapse prevention is therefore a key strategy meant to provide a conceptual framework to help reduce relapse episodes and thus an improved outcome process.
What Is Relapse Prevention?
Relapse prevention is the term given to the process of working with an addiction recovery patient to help prevent the impacts of a lapse before they get into the stage of heavy drug use. Relapse is not the best of experiences. It is a dreadful experience and addiction patients must be helped through a successful addiction treatment. Relapse prevention is therefore the key goal when trying to help patients reduce or end drug use.
Drug / alcohol abuse is an acute physical and mental disease that is affecting many people in the US and the world at large. When individuals start using drugs, it’s all fun but wait until they get into alcohol / drugs dependency and they now want to quit this negative habit. The real battle begins. Some manage to go through drug recovery process successfully but to some few others, it results into relapse.
Relapse Is A Process Not An Event
Relapse simply means going back to drug or alcohol abuse after going through a drug / alcohol recovery treatment. Relapse is not a one day event but it’s an ongoing process. If you want to sustain a healthy sober lifestyle, a relapse prevention plan is a brilliant idea for you.
According to the research done by the US Department of Health and Human Services, during the first six months of recovery, there are reported two third cases of relapse. Therefore, we can see that relapse is very common during the first stages of withdrawal.
What Causes Relapse?
Drug cessation is a life-threatening experience and not everyone manages to go through it successfully. The tough and painful withdrawal symptoms make many drug recovery patients to retreat back if they are not given proper support by experienced health professionals.
There are several factors that can cause relapse. These factors trigger substance abuse resulting into uncontrollable cravings. To some point, due to the difficulties experienced during withdrawal, the patient looks for a quick relief by going back into drugs. Let’s look at the common causes of relapse.
- High-risk withdrawal symptoms
- Cravings and urges
- Certain sights and smells
- Uncomfortable emotions and outcome expectancy
- Old friends, environment and things that reminds you of the drugs
- Relationships and sex issues
- Financial problems
Withdrawal symptoms like nausea, severe headache and stomach pain among others can make a recovery victim to give up along the way. The feeling that going back to the drugs will help get a quick relief are very difficult to overcome, hence relapse.
Relapse? Here’s Some Good News For You
The good news is that relapse is not the end of your recovery journey. Committing yourself to a relapse prevention plan does not literally mean that relapse must happen in your case. It is just a plan to help minimize the damage caused and help you to get back on track.
Why Relapse Prevention?
It is of paramount importance that every drug recovery patient knows that relapse prevention is a paramount component of addiction treatment. As discussed earlier in this content, we now know that relapse is not an event. It is a gradual process marked by danger signs and red flags. We can say that relapse is a journey and anybody can find him /herself into it. That is why addiction specialists introduce specific strategies to address every step of relapse process.
Young people are most likely to experience relapse even after getting motivated to change their lifestyles by choosing drug cessation. In most cases they encounter situations that encourage them to get back to drugs.
Stages Of A Relapse
There are three steps of relapse process and relapse prevention is meant to provide techniques to deal with every step of a relapse. The best thing ever is to apply strong coping mechanisms immediately you notice signs of a relapse. It will help you gain power to resist, leading to a successful recovery mechanism.
This is the initial stage of relapse commonly caused by depressive feelings. Remember, during the addiction recovery process, it doesn’t mean that life’s challenges and stressors will be absent. The only thing that happens is that now you don’t have to use drugs / alcohol to deal with stress. Therefore, it becomes quite a tasking exercise to train your brains to deal with stressors without the influence of drugs. During this stage, a recovery patient who does not have strong emotion response to stress, depression and anxiety is most likely to be overwhelmed and relapse process begins at this point. Poor self-care is the key cause of emotional relapse.
Signs of emotional relapse:
- rapid change of emotions
- feeling of staying in isolation
- failure of attending support group meetings
- attending meetings but no contributing
- poor feeding and sleeping
- focusing on other peoples’ problems
Ask yourself these questions to test your self-care.
Denial and lack of self-care are key issues that lead to emotional relapse. Do you feel like you are being fair to yourself? Do you crate time for yourself? Do you enjoy fun? Is your self-care worsening or improving? Prolonged poor self-care leads to mental relapse.
At this level, you are really battling with your mind. After having those rough experiences and you start judging the situation that if you had the drugs, it wouldn’t have worsened. You compare your life now and how it used to be with drugs and the feeling that life has become difficult without drugs can be really overwhelming. In most cases, addiction recovery patients fall into a trap of thinking that they will use the drug just once, find some relief and never to use again.
Signs of mental relapse
- cravings for drugs / alcohol
- thoughts about people and places related with past use
- looking for relapse opportunities
- planning a relapse
The best therapy at this point is to help a patient understand and avoid the high-risk situations. In most cases, the patients think that by avoiding high risk situations, they portray a sense of weakness.
Bargaining is the trickiest part of mental relapse. You find that some individual bargain that they relapse periodically in a controlled manner during holiday tours and travel or other high-risk situations. Some go to an extent of switching from one addictive drug or alcohol to another. Everyone going through the recovery process must understand that occasional cravings will still happen so as to avoid the shock during addiction treatment.
These occasional cravings are very tempting. When an individual relapses, he feels so guilty and the fear of how the family and friends will feel let down makes them to feel ashamed to even talk about it. This may worsen the situation since it becomes difficult to find help.
The fact that it is not easy to overcome substance dependency should be addressed thoroughly to during the initial stages of therapy since it is not possible to erase memory. This is not to imply that the person will relapse or is using poor skills, it is meant to create the awareness that with proper coping skills, anyone can let go of those thoughts within a short period.
This is the third and the final stage where the patient takes physical actions in the addiction recovery process. The continuing negative emotions caused by poor coping skills leading to damaging thoughts makes the patient justify cravings and use of drugs. The uncontrolled thinking and obsessiveness of drug use is what lead to the physical relapse.
Now, the individual starts using the drugs again. The most dangerous aspect about this is that the person now gets into relapse of uncontrolled using. Because the patients are aware that going back to old behavior is wrong, during physical relapse the only look for a window of escape where they can go unnoticed. Addiction specialists equips patients with relapse prevention strategies where they review those situations and develop strong exit strategies.
Relapse Prevention Strategies
After understanding what relapse prevention is, the stages of relapse prevention, it is important you learn about cognitive therapy being one of the key relapse prevention strategies.
Cognitive therapy is part of addiction treatment that involves helping patients to change their negative thoughts and develop strong coping skills. When a patient has gone through a bad addiction and now wants to change and live a better life, there are many issues that arise in his minds. Some fear how life will be without drugs, whether they can manage to stay without drugs, whether to leave their friends and hangout places, fear that withdrawal is going to be a tasking exercise and many other concerns. These concerns triggers stress, anxiety, depression, resentment and negativity, thus relapse. They even tend to think that they can eventually relapse without anyone noticing.
Cognitive therapy along with mind-body relaxation is what helps a person abandon the old habits and establish new and healthy ways of thinking even during the toughest moments.
What Are Your Experiences?
Are you feeling overwhelmed? You feel like you can’t move on with your normal tasks? You don’t find joy in thing that were normally fun to you? You feel like you want to stay alone in isolation from family and friends? You neglect self-care and recovery goals? Then, you need help. These are key warning signs of relapse.

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner wouldn’t it be nice to add a little subtle sex appeal to your date night outfit? 2015 was the year of the naked dress. For us mere mortals, this isn’t a look that can be pulled off in our everyday life- we probably wouldn’t be allowed into our date night venue. There are ways to be attractive and sexy without venturing into tasteless territory. Here are a few date night outfit inspiration ideas that can help elevate your look from so-so to sultry and stunning!
The Slip Dress
Celebrities such as Kate Moss and Amber Heard count the slip dress as a staple in their date night wardrobe. The style has been on trend since the 90s, made especially popular by Courtney Love. This slip-inspired silky stunner provides a simple backdrop for a relaxed yet alluring look. An unadorned pair of pumps or one toe strap high heeled sandals are the perfect accent to keep the focus on the dress. As for jewelry, you can layer a few of your favorite chains to create a delicate statement, or add a little drama with shoulder-grazing drop earrings. My slip dresses have all come from thrift stores, but I can never find one if I am on the hunt so I rounded up a few I am currently coveting.
Long Velvet Dress: BCBGMAXAZRIA
Lingerie is generally meant to be hidden under clothing, but letting a little lace show can create an added layer to your look. There are numerous bras that are designed to show- from decorative straps to lace panels to fancy fringe, these pieces are meant to be seen on date night! Since cleavage can be too obvious, one of my favorite ways to let a little lingerie (and skin) show is to wear a lace-backed bra under a scoop back top. I found the perfect Cosabella cropped lace cami at Chantilly Lace in my home town of Wilmette; if you aren’t in the area, you can snag it online. Also, The Bra Lab makes interchangeable sets of bra straps and bands that you can customize.
The Cut Out
This year at the Golden Globes, cutouts at the waist popped up on red carpet stars such as Jennifer Lawrence and Brie Larson. Although this style skews a little more towards the younger crowd, it can be wearable for all ages if the cutouts are strategically placed. If you are shy about showing your midsection on date night, cutouts around the neck or on the back can be just as sexy. Keep the shoes simple with such an intricate design- nude toe strap or stilettos make a great complement! The dress I am wearing in the photo below (left) is from Akira- it was around $100 and I accessorized it with a gold metal skinny belt and geometric accessories.
Blue Dress: Zappos
Take a little risk and add some subtle sex appeal into your date night wardrobe- it will definitely pay off!

I want to print a monthly calendar on A3 (or 11x17", tabloid) paper, with spiral bindings in the middle of the (cut) sheet. The top half is a nice photo and the bottom is one month, with custom events that I control.
I also know about this Inkscape plugin but it only generates a full year on one page, not at all what I need. And there are various PDF, PowerPoint or ODT templates lying around, but none of those make my life any easier.
I want to programmatically generate the calendar. I have over 30 events I need to fill in and I don't want to do each by hand.
Said tool would also be free software based. Output would be PDF or SVG or some accessible format. | <urn:uuid:d13c267e-76da-4b1b-ae7c-a872db7b42fa> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/52778/printing-a-monthly-calendar-with-custom-pictures-and-events | 2024-04-24T02:04:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296818999.68/warc/CC-MAIN-20240424014618-20240424044618-00768.warc.gz | en | 0.93145 | 158 |
