You may have seen videos of people banging pots and pans, or expressing gratitude in other ways to encourage and celebrate healthcare workers and their service on the frontlines of the Coronavirus response.
They are heroes in Canada and they deserve all our support and praise.
But in some countries, like the ones where we serve, health-care workers are being attacked and stigmatized. They are being accused of spreading the virus. We have seen this before. There were more than 300 attacks on Ebola health workers in 2019, leaving six dead and 70 wounded, according to Médecins Sans Frontières.
We know that the number of attacks on health-care workers are under-reported due to a lack of robust monitoring of violence against health workers.
Our partners tell us of similar experiences. In addition to the increased risk of contracting the virus due to a lack of protective equipment, they are facing physical violence and threats. Doctors are abused because people think they are the carriers of the virus or are blamed for their deceased one’s death and front-line staff are being pelted with stones, spat on, or forcefully evicted from their homes.
Thankfully, countries are bringing in new laws to deter the abuse. In India, violent criminals could face up to seven years in jail for serious attacks. Also, the lockdown has now been lifted in the country. While this helps the people we serve by ensuring they can access medicine and they or their families can go into the city to work, it also hurts them. COVID-19 is spreading fast and hospitals are at capacity.
Will you please join us in praying for these front-line heroes and their safety, as well as their families’? Will you also pray they will have enough protective equipment during this pandemic?
Father in Heaven,
We come to you, humbled by the devastating effects the coronavirus has had on a global scale. And yet we know, as the Maker of this Universe, that you are always in control. Nothing surprises you, and you hold the world in your hands.
Lord Jesus, we ask for protection over our health-care workers, here in Canada and abroad. Many are working with insufficient protective equipment. Lord, please provide for their needs. We pray you will protect them from COVID-19. We pray for their stress and energy levels, that you would fill them with your mighty strength and power.
Father, we think especially of health-care workers who are serving in countries where they aren’t respected, and instead wrongly blamed and attacked for the spread of this virus. We pray for them and for their families. May you send your angels to guard and protect them. May all countries enact laws to protect those serving on the frontline. We pray they will choose to persist in their good work and be appreciated and respected for all they do.
Lord, you are our refuge and strength. You are an ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1) and we trust in your goodness and mercy. We pray COVID-19 will stop spreading. We lift up people affected by neglected tropical diseases and all vulnerable populations into your hands. Lord, thank you for hearing their cries. We pray you will provide for them through this difficult time. We pray a safe and effective vaccine will be developed soon and become available to all.
Thank you for hearing our prayers and for your comforting words in John 16:33, which remind us of your sovereignty: “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” We place all our burdens and cares on you, knowing you are great and you can carry them all.

Today, she speaks with us about Extended Reality (XR) myths, leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) in workforce development, and making a solid business case for immersive learning.
What's the first step that organizations can take to plan a successful immersive learning strategy? Can you share any tips to make a strong business case for it?
As organizations look to enhance their learning and performance strategic plans, understanding how to augment an existing learning strategy to include immersive learning can be challenging. A clear understanding of what has worked well and what has not will provide valuable insight as to how to move forward. Knowing what types of immersive learning an organization's learner will adapt to will help in creating a targeted roadmap. Learning leaders need to have a good understanding of immersive learning to educate internal stakeholders, learners, and IT. Building a partnership with IT enables synergy to address technical requirements and needed technology during the planning stage of the strategy. Also, it allows for a business plan and technological readiness, including cost and project implementation and time frames. Leaders must ensure they are looking at scalability and sustainability, focusing on business models, growth, employees, and culture. If organizations are not sure where to start with an immersive learning strategy, they should partner with a learning vendor who can help expedite their success.
In your opinion, what is the most common myth surrounding Extended Reality that prevents organizations from leveraging it in their L&D strategies?
Most organizations may view Extended Realities as hard to implement, not knowing where to start. Additionally, the expense is an unknown factor causing resistance from stakeholders. Depending on where you are in the Extended Realities life cycle, there are easy starting points that will provide a positive first experience that will yield a measurable return on performance and create more awareness, ease of implementation, and usage within an organization. Starting with an Augmented Reality (AR) project is a very impactful first step that will not have a high-cost impact. This will provide visibility within an organization, create champions within business units, and provide the initial step into Extended Reality.

Advantages of a Planetary Motor
If you might be seeking for an affordable way to power a machine, think about buying a Planetary Motor. These units are made to give a huge selection of gear reductions, and are capable of making significantly larger torques and torque density than other types of travel systems. This post will explain why you ought to consider purchasing one particular for your demands. And we’ll also talk about the variances between a planetary and spur equipment program, as well as how you can reward from them.
Planetary gears in a motor are utilised to decrease the velocity of rotation of the armature 8. The reduction ratio is established by the structure of the planetary gear system. The output shaft 5 rotates by means of the system with the help of the ring equipment 4. The ring gear 4 engages with the pinion 3 when the shaft is rotated to the engagement position. The transmission of rotational torque from the ring equipment to the armature brings about the motor to commence.
The axial conclude surface of a planetary gear system has two circular grooves 21. The depressed part is utilized to retain lubricant. This lubricant helps prevent foreign particles from entering the planetary gear room. This feature allows the planetary equipment gadget to be compact and lightweight. The cylindrical part also minimizes the mass inertia. In this way, the planetary equipment device can be a great decision for a motor with constrained room.
Simply because of their compact footprint, planetary gears are fantastic for reducing heat. In addition, this design and style makes it possible for them to be cooled. If you require large speeds and sustained performance, you may want to consider utilizing lubricants. The lubricants existing a cooling result and decrease sounds and vibration. If you want to increase the effectiveness of your motor, make investments in a planetary equipment hub drivetrain.
The planetary gear head has an interior solar equipment that drives the numerous outer gears. These gears mesh with each other with the outer ring that is mounted to the motor housing. In industrial purposes, planetary gears are utilized with an rising variety of tooth. This distribution of energy guarantees larger performance and transmittable torque. There are numerous benefits of using a planetary gear motor. These positive aspects contain:
A planetary gearbox is a kind of drivetrain in which the input and output shafts are linked with a planetary construction. A planetary gearset can have a few major parts: an input gear, a planetary output equipment, and a stationary situation. Diverse gears can be employed to adjust the transmission ratios. The planetary framework arrangement offers the planetary gearset substantial rigidity and minimizes backlash. This higher rigidity is essential for fast begin-stop cycles and rotational path.
Planetary gears want to be lubricated frequently to prevent wear and tear. In addition, transmissions need to be serviced often, which can consist of fluid adjustments. The gears in a planetary gearbox will put on out with time, and any problems ought to be repaired quickly. Nonetheless, if the gears are damaged, or if they are defective, a planetary gearbox producer will restore it for free.
A planetary gearbox is usually a 2-speed style, but specialist makers can provide triple and solitary-pace sets. Planetary gearboxes are also suitable with hydraulic, electromagnetic, and dynamic braking techniques. The first step to creating a planetary gearbox is defining your application and the sought after final result. Renowned constructors use a consultative modeling method, starting up every single venture by finding out device torque and working problems.
As the planetary gearbox is a compact layout, area is limited. Consequently, bearings need to have to be picked meticulously. The compact needle roller bearings are the most frequent alternative, but they are not able to tolerate big axial forces. Those that can handle substantial axial forces, these kinds of as worm gears, ought to choose for tapered roller bearings. So, what are the positive aspects and disadvantages of a helical gearbox?
planetary gear motors
When we think of planetary gear motors, we tend to consider of large and powerful machines, but in reality, there are many more compact, far more low-cost variations of the identical machine. These motors are often produced of plastic, and can be as small as 6 millimeters in diameter. Unlike their larger counterparts, they have only one particular equipment in the transmission, and are produced with a little diameter and modest number of tooth.
They are similar to the solar program, with the planets rotating about a sunlight equipment. The planet pinions mesh with the ring gear within the sunlight gear. All of these gears are related by a planetary provider, which is the output shaft of the gearbox. The ring gear and planetary carrier assembly are connected to every single other by means of a sequence of joints. When electrical power is utilized to any of these users, the complete assembly will rotate.
In comparison to other configurations, planetary gearmotors are much more challenging. Their design consists of a solar equipment centered in the middle and a number of scaled-down gears that mesh with the central sunlight gear. These gears are enclosed in a more substantial interior tooth equipment. This style makes it possible for them to manage bigger hundreds than standard gear motors, as the load is dispersed amongst many gears. This variety of motor is generally more high-priced than other configurations, but can endure the larger-load specifications of some machines.
Simply because they are cylindrical in shape, planetary gear motors are extremely flexible. They can be utilised in a variety of purposes, which includes computerized transmissions. They are also employed in programs exactly where higher-precision and speed are needed. Moreover, the planetary equipment motor is strong and is characterized by low vibrations. The rewards of making use of a planetary equipment motor are huge and consist of:
planetary gears vs spur gears
A planetary motor utilizes a number of enamel to share the load of rotating areas. This offers planetary gears high stiffness and lower backlash – frequently as reduced as one particular or two arc minutes. These attributes are essential for applications that go through repeated start-stop cycles or rotational direction modifications. This article discusses the advantages of planetary gears and how they differ from spur gears. You can look at the animation under for a clearer knowing of how they function and how they vary from spur gears.
Planetary gears move in a periodic way, with a comparatively small meshing frequency. As the meshing frequency increases, the amplitude of the frequency also increases. The amplitude of this frequency is modest at lower clearance values, and boosts dramatically at larger clearance levels. The amplitude of the frequency is increased when the clearance reaches .2-.6. The amplitude raises speedily, whereas put on raises gradually soon after the original .2-.6-inch-vast clearance.
In high-velocity, substantial-torque programs, a planetary motor is a lot more efficient. It has several make contact with points for increased torque and greater pace. If you are not confident which sort to pick, you can seek the advice of with an skilled and style a custom gear. If you are doubtful of what type of motor you require, get in touch with Twirl Motor and question for support choosing the appropriate 1 for your software.
A planetary equipment arrangement offers a variety of advantages over traditional fixed-axis equipment program patterns. The compact size allows for decrease reduction of performance, and the much more planets in the gear system boosts the torque density and ability. Another gain of a planetary equipment program is that it is significantly stronger and far more resilient than its spur-gear counterpart. Combined with its a lot of rewards, a planetary equipment arrangement gives a superior solution to your shifting demands.
planetary gearboxes as a compact substitute to pinion-and-gear reducers
Even though conventional pinion-and-gear reducer layout is cumbersome and intricate, planetary gearboxes are compact and flexible. They are suitable for numerous purposes, especially where space and bodyweight are issues, as properly as torque and velocity reduction. Even so, comprehension their mechanism and doing work just isn’t as easy as it appears, so here are some of the important benefits of planetary gearing.
Planetary gearboxes work by using two planetary gears that rotate about their possess axes. The sunlight gear is employed as the input, while the planetary gears are related via a casing. The ratio of these gears is -Ns/Np, with 24 tooth in the sunshine gear and -3/2 on the world equipment.
Unlike traditional pinion-and-equipment reducer designs, planetary gearboxes are significantly smaller sized and considerably less expensive. A planetary gearbox is about fifty% smaller sized and weighs less than a pinion-and-gear reducer. The smaller equipment floats on best of a few massive gears, reducing the results of vibration and ensuring constant transmission in excess of time.
Planetary gearboxes are a excellent different to pinion-and-equipment push methods because they are smaller sized, significantly less sophisticated and supply a larger reduction ratio. Their meshing arrangement is related to the Milky Way, with the sunlight gear in the center and two or a lot more outer gears. They are related by a carrier that sets their spacing and incorporates an output shaft.
In contrast to pinion-and-equipment decreases, planetary gearboxes provide higher pace reduction and torque capability. As a outcome, planetary gearboxes are modest and compact and are typically favored for space-constrained applications. But what about the substantial torque transfer?

Announcing Use of Your Maiden Name
There are several ways to make clear the name you plan to use now that you are married. You can begin by mentioning your intentions casually before the wedding. If you plan to be announced at your wedding, this is your first opportunity to announce your name publicly. "Here is the bride and groom... Karen Pollack and Jim Davis!" Wedding announcements, both mailed and in the newspaper, are another way to get the word out, especially to those who didn't attend the wedding. Your stationary, the return address on thank-you-note envelopes, and in your email signature are all places that will signal your choice to use your maiden name. Older relatives may not understand your decision, as it was uncommon in their day. If you need to correct someone, do so kindly. | <urn:uuid:01863f28-a485-4f54-8bc6-602cb082d705> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://emilypost.com/advice/announcing-use-of-your-maiden-name | 2024-04-25T07:03:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.97231 | 165 |

It appears that the Safemoon team is in contact with those responsible for the cryptocurrency theft, but the story may be hiding some dirt.
Let’s look together at the details of this most interesting affair.
Safemoon LPs victims of hacker attack: security cost $8 million
On 28 March 2023, the Safemoon team told the community that its LPs were compromised in a theft worth more than $8 million in crypto-assets.
The attack was made possible by a vulnerability in Safemoon’s contract associated with a feature called “Bridge Burn.”
This feature would have allowed the thief to transfer user tokens to the developer’s address.
The result was that 32 billion SFM tokens were sent from Safemoon’s LPs address (0x8e0301e3bde2397449fef72703e71284d0d149f1) to the deployer’s address (0x678ee23173dce625A90ED651E91CA5138149F590).
This brought an instantaneous price pump, which allowed the hacker to empty the LPs, swap all the SFM tokens to BNB, and transfer them to this address, in which they are still stored: 0x237d58596f72c752a65658589348d0fce622ed.
The address is only 6 days old, but can already count a balance of more than 27,380 BNB equivalent to $8.5 million.
The Safemoon team is in contact the perpetrators of the hacking attack
Apparently, the person responsible for the theft got in touch with the Safemoon team.
How? Quite simply through the additional data (intended as text) that can be added to each transaction made on blockchain.
The address used by the hackers to send the message to the Safemoon team is the following:0x286e09932b8d096cba3423d12965042736b8f850.
The message reads:
“Hey relax, we are accidently frontrun an attack against you, we would like to return the fund, setup secure communication channel , lets talk.”
The conversation continued until an unknown user sent a message to the Safemmon team through this address:
The message reads:
“Let me give you some advice: seek help from security companies that have good connections with Binance to obtain the hacker’s personal information and involve law enforcement.
Hackers may only refund the money when their safety is threatened, so it may be necessary to engage the underworld power in the hacker’s residence.
I assure you that this is the most effective approach. If you are not in the same country as the hacker (most likely China), seek help from the community. The Safemoon community could reach the hacker’s home in half a day.”
In a nutshell, the unknown user recommends relying on on-chain investigation companies that have a good relationship with Binance, this is because it was discovered that the address responsible for the theft had previous transactions with Binance, hence the cryptocurrency exchange is in possession of personal data thanks to “know your customer” (KYC) verification.
After discovering the hacker’s data and home address, the best strategy would seem to involve the authorities and take action, again according to the unidentified user’s report.
For now Binance has not issued any statement on the matter, we remain waiting to find out if there will be any news on the matter.
Safemoon hacker attack: what if the team was involved in the affair?
There are those who speculate that the Safemoon team is making the whole thing up and that they are responsible for compromising LPs.
In particular, a Dune user by the nickname “@factsudeny” posted an address involved in the theft that he said was related to Safemoon.
Cross-chain data show that these addresses match across different blockchains, though it is not yet possible to confirm this.
According to the Twitter community, this seems very strange:
Details of the attack show that the “bridge burn” function, which allegedly enabled the hacker attack on Safemoon LPs was implemented by the project’s developers on 28 March 2023 at 10:52 AM (UTC).
Several hours later, the attack took place.
In addition there is to consider that the previous version of the smart contract did not have these vulnerabilities.
Many believe that the Safemoon team is responsible for the attack
🚨 Someone has abused burn() function of #Safemoon new smart contract, gaining almost $9M
Not sure whether we can call it as a "hack", but anyway that quite funny 🤔

How is the SFM token doing following the alleged hack?
Today the SFM token appears to be recovering slightly with an increase in the last 24 hours of 4.3%. The current price is $0.000189 per token, market capitalization of $105 million and volumes in the last 24 hours hovering around $1 million. The price is far from its all-time high, which stands at $0.003 per token; this is a drawdown of more than 90%.
On 28 March, the day of the alleged hack, the SFM token suffered a sharp downward slide that took it from $0.000239 to $0.000190 in a very short time, a percentage change of -19%.
This situation may not have created major structural problems for the Safemoon token, given the strength and resilience of the community.
However, it is a must to remember that this is a highly speculative token, lacking any purpose of existence, and without any innovation in the blockchain field.
Moreover, it is important to note that the token was born in the wake of the success of memecoins during 2021: as of today Safemoon still lives but is far from its all-time high. There is a high risk that this project will disappear in the years to come and be replaced by new trends and innovations in technology. | <urn:uuid:c4bc0e1c-71df-41c9-8b47-db7e21c869ee> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en.cryptonomist.ch/2023/04/04/hackers-breach-security-safemoon/ | 2024-04-25T07:26:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.961025 | 1,352 |
Fifa offside technology does not need chips in player’s body
A misinformation spread throughout the mainstream and social media regarding the special technology used in football world cup in Qatar. In a bid to explain the semi-automated offside technology, it was claimed that just like there are chips set in the football, so are chips inserted into the players’ bodies to ascertain their movement.
Dismislab has found no evidence of such a claim.
A Facebook group named ‘Gyaner jagat’ (The world of knowledge) posted on 26 November 2022 explaining how the world cup was using AI. A portion of the post states,”…. In addition to that, each player’s body is also fitted with a similar chip. So, it collects data from 29 points (parts) of the player’s body, i.e. it collects data 50 times every 1 second and stores in a central computer used for Artificial Intelligence (image attached)…”
The claim is also found on various Facebook groups, pages, a blog post and a Jamuna TV report. Chips fitted in players’ bodies came up while explaining this new offside technology. Here are some samples in the slideshow.
And here is what Jamuna TV said in its report from the 1 minute 30 second mark: “The chip implanted in the players’ bodies has 29 data points. As you can see, these 29 data points at different joints of the players which ultimately determine whether a player was indeed offside.”
A basic internet search on offside technology found a post on FIFA website titled “Semi-Automated Offside Technology”. It states: The new technology uses 12 dedicated tracking cameras mounted underneath the roof of the stadium to track the ball and up to 29 data points of each individual player, 50 times per second, calculating their exact position on the pitch. The 29 collected data points include all limbs and extremities that are relevant for making offside calls.
However, FIFA’s World Cup ball, known as ‘Al Rihla Pro‘, uses an IMU sensor. The sensor, placed right in the centre of the football, can transmit data 500 times per second.Similarly, in an event called ‘Living Football‘ held in 2021 on FIFA’s verified YouTube channel, Johannes Holzmüller, director of FIFA’s ‘Football Technology and Innovation’, said that this semi-automatic offside technology in football is based on ‘limb tracking’ or ‘skeletal tracking’ technology. There is no discussion of the use of sensors on the players’ bodies.
A detailed description of the aforementioned semi-automated offside technology was made available later from FIFA’s Digital Hub platform. That said, these data points are automatically identified on players’ bodies. There is no mention of measuring the players by adding anything to their bodies.
Besides, while searching for more information about ‘skeletal tracking’ technology, a clear explanation can be found on the website called ‘Real Sense’ of the famous computer chip manufacturer Intel. It says that ‘skeletal tracking’ technology uses sensors and depth cameras to track a person’s movements. The technology is similar to Hollywood special effects, but in this case, people do not have to wear any special clothing or markers.
That is, human movement can very much be tracked or monitored from outside the body with the help of sensors and depth cameras. No sensor or chip is needed in the body. A post titled “Types of Tracking Defined” on the Intel Real Sense site also provides a more detailed explanation of ‘skeletal tracking’.
According to FIFA’s official website, the American Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Australia’s Victoria University are involved in this cutting-edge technology for offside detection.
Dismislab reached out to Anette “Peko” Hosoi, co-founder of MIT’s Sports Lab, to learn more. She said, “It is absolutely not possible. I have never heard of players having microchips in their bodies before. I doubt any such technology is in use at all and it will not work either.”
So, the claim that the offside detection technology in Qatar Football World Cup used any kind of chip or sensor on players’ bodies is misleading.
However, in European club football, there is talk of using chips or sensors on players. With the help of this chip, it is possible to understand the body temperature, and heart rate of a player. But the proposed chips are said to be added not to the player’s body, but to the clothing.
Also, in 2016, Argentine football club Tigre announced ‘Passionate Tickets‘ for their ‘crazy fans’. It is basically a chip that spectators voluntarily insert into their bodies, which precludes the need for a physical ticket to enter the stadium. However, the club assured that no one’s personal information will be compromised as there is no tracker. | <urn:uuid:4ef489a3-881a-4943-b195-29fbdfec190d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en.dismislab.com/offside-technology-factcheck/ | 2024-04-25T08:10:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.948679 | 1,072 |
Japanese PM Kishida to visit UAE, focusing on the next 50 years
As the Prime Minister of Japan, I am delighted to visit the United Arab Emirates (UAE), our strategic partner, for the first time since taking office. Last year marked the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Japan and the UAE, reflecting our longstanding ties. Japanese companies have been integral to the development of Abu Dhabi's oil industry since the 1960s, ensuring a stable energy supply that has contributed to Japan's economic growth.
A Renewed Commitment to Collaboration
Over the years, our collaboration has extended beyond energy and economy, encompassing various sectors such as climate change, education, science and technology, outer space, and defense. In pursuit of further cooperation, our countries signed the Joint Declaration on the Implementation of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Initiative (CSPI) last year, paving the way for concrete discussions and actions.
Promoting Youth Exchanges and Human Resource Development
Education plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of our nations. Japan is committed to supporting youth exchanges between our countries and developing human resources in the UAE. We will continue to facilitate Emirati undergraduate and graduate students' study programs in Japan, promote high school student exchanges, and encourage young Emirati nationals to participate in internship programs offered by Japanese companies. These educational initiatives will strengthen the foundation of our bilateral relations and foster development across various fields, particularly in the economic and business sectors.
Cultural Bonds and Creative Industries
The 50th anniversary celebrations highlighted the keen interest of the UAE's people in Japan. The Japan Pavilion's popularity at the Dubai Expo demonstrated the strong connection between our cultures. Japanese language education will receive continued support to meet the growing demand among UAE's youth, who are increasingly fascinated by Japanese manga, anime, and creative industries. We will expand our collaboration in content creation and the creative sector, including e-sports, to further enhance cultural exchanges.
Unlocking the Potential of Tourism
With the opening of the Japan National Tourism Organization's (JNTO) MENA headquarters in Dubai, we anticipate an increasing number of UAE citizens discovering the allure of Japan. The full visa exemption for UAE citizens has facilitated travel, inviting them to explore Japan's authentic cuisine, experience the beauty of its changing seasons, and witness the marvel of its renowned Shinkansen (bullet trains). This growing tourism connection will strengthen our people-to-people ties and foster mutual understanding.
Exploring the Frontiers of Space Cooperation
Japan has been a steadfast contributor to the UAE's space program, and our collaboration continues to deepen. The successful launches of KhalifaSat, the Mars Exploration Hope Probe, and the recent lunar probe Rashid Rover, in collaboration with Japanese partners, highlight our joint achievements. Japan remains committed to supporting future endeavors in space exploration, propelling us toward even greater success.
Addressing Global Challenges: Climate Change and Innovation
The UAE's role as the host of COP28 in November underscores its commitment to climate action. Japan recognizes the UAE's net-zero greenhouse gas emissions pledge and its proactive efforts to address climate change while ensuring global energy security. In this regard, Japan stands ready to collaborate closely with the UAE for the success of COP28. Additionally, Japan proposes the "Global Green Energy Hub" initiative, leveraging the UAE's renewable energy resources and Japan's decarbonization technologies to create a supply chain hub for next-generation fuels and mineral resources in the Middle East.
Embracing Innovation and Strengthening Security
To accelerate innovation, especially in decarbonization, Japan aims to establish a "Japan-UAE Innovation Partnership." Building upon the existing Japan-UAE Coordination Scheme for Advanced Technology (JU-CAT), this expanded framework for industrial collaboration will foster resilience in the global supply chain of semiconductors and attract greater foreign direct investment. Japan and the UAE, serving together as non-permanent members of the UN Security Council, share a commitment to upholding international principles and promoting a free and open Indo-Pacific region. As both nations prioritize the rule of law and tolerance, closer cooperation in realizing our common vision is paramount.
Charting the Course for a Promising Future
Reflecting on our bilateral relationship's history, I am inspired by the immense potential for further cooperation between Japan and the UAE. As we embark on the next 50 years, I am determined to work closely with His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the UAE, to turn this potential into reality. During my upcoming visit, I eagerly anticipate discussing strategies to strengthen our bilateral ties with the President and the people of the UAE. Together, we will forge a path toward an even more prosperous and mutually beneficial partnership. | <urn:uuid:9ebb2029-f7c3-428f-8864-24736ee8a1ad> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en.elmethaq.net/world/japanese-pm-kishida-to-visit-uae | 2024-04-25T09:04:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.919234 | 956 |
Argentine President Javier Milei's La Libertad Avanza (LLA) Tuesday suffered a major blow in Congress when its workhorse Omnibus Law bill was sent back to further treatment by the various Lower House committees, thus annulling last Friday's broad approval.
In light of imminent defeat at the item-by-item voting on the House, LLA bloc leader Oscar Zago requested the entire bill be sent back to the committees, which, pursuant to Article 155 of the House's Rulebook renders all previous votes null.
Whether Zago was aware of the scope of his initiative remains to be seen. Interior Minister Guillermo Francos, who had been entrusted with garnering support from various governors to have the bill passed through the Lower House, was notoriously oblivious to this fact when he insisted during a TV interview that last Friday's broad approval stood. When Article 155 was read to him, he replied that the lawmakers of the LLA block must have been aware of that fact when they put forward such a motion.
For the ruling party, this parliamentarian setback to the the 646-article bill (hence the Omnibus Law unofficial title) meant a delay in the privatizations of public companies, and the increase of penalties for social protests, among other issues.
Everything looked favorable for LLA after Friday's session and even on Tuesday when an economic emergency declaration was agreed upon in addition to the granting of extra powers to President Milei. But things were stalled when most articles regarding the State's administrative reform failed to be greenlighted thanks to negative votes from Unión por la Patria and other parties.
President Javier Milei took office on December 10, 2023, with the responsibility to free the productive forces of the Nation, face inflation and end the deficit. Under this mandate, he will not allow those who for years have benefited from a corrupt and impoverishing system to frustrate the future of all Argentines, stated the President's office in an official communiqué through which Casa Rosda blamed the governors for their thumbs down hours after agreeing to support it.
They decided to turn their backs to the Argentines to protect their interests and prevent the national Government from having the tools to solve Argentina's structural problems, the Government added.
We are not going to continue discussing with those who demand to keep their privileges while 63% of Argentine children do not eat. The law will be debated when they understand that it is the people who need it, not the Government, the statement went on.
It goes back to committee because there were deputies who had committed to accompanying us through the governors, and the governors did not keep their word, Zago said. | <urn:uuid:c3230c64-dcd1-4e33-9b2e-45f96d231ab5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en.mercopress.com/2024/02/07/parliamentarian-setback-for-milei-s-omnibus-law-bill | 2024-04-25T07:24:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.968372 | 547 |
The NewClass online & offline hybrid classroom teaching mode meets the needs of distance learning. The system integrate inside/outside school and classroom, so as to manage, teach, and train students in a unified manner.
Traditional remote teaching solutions often fail to meet the needs of individualized teaching since they only provide teachers with special cameras and provide students with one or two high-definition cameras in the classroom, and pick up the sound by hoisting microphones.
Different from regular remote training systems, NewClass Remote Teaching Solution is suitable for a cross-space 'class teaching' mode, where teachers can operate the 'control interface' on the system to organize students locally or remotely, and to conduct visual and interactive teaching activities such as lecture, skills training, and examination.
With the unique control interface, teachers can monitor, manage, and mobilize all students onsite and online, and organize a variety of interactive classroom activities to boost students’ learning experience. | <urn:uuid:f730aa33-827a-45d8-9006-4f66ac8dcb90> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en.newclass.com/products.aspx?nid=3&typeid=67 | 2024-04-25T07:18:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.945365 | 191 |
To raise awareness about diabetes and blindness and help the community, Specsavers Opticas Santa Ponça is joining forces with the Calvia Lions Club to hold another diabetes testing event on Saturday 19 September from 10:00 to 13:00. This is open to all and totally free of charge. During the events, a qualified nurse will be conducting a simple finger prick test to detect the signs of diabetes and an appointment is not necessary. Results will be given immediately and if positive, patients will be referred for medical advice.
This type of screening can detect pre-diabetes and diabetes, a condition with over 170 million sufferers worldwide. One of the side-effects of diabetes is Diabetic Retinopathy, a condition which affects vision when the blood vessels in the retina are damaged by the changes in blood sugar levels. This leads to blurry vision which can often come and go throughout the day.
If untreated, the condition can become more serious, resulting in the network of blood vessels which supply the retina suffering permanent damage. This can result in irreversible vision loss. In order to avoid problems with sight, it is important that blood sugar levels, blood pressure and cholesterol levels are controlled.
Not all diabetes causes sight loss, but it is important to have regular screenings and eye tests so that any problems or changes can be monitored. Most complications can be treated; however it is vital that they are detected early. Once vision is lost, it cannot be restored.
Calvia Lions Club and Specsavers are committed to ending avoidable blindness and have joined forces to offer these free screenings. Please come along on the day if you would like this free screening test. The Specsavers Santa Ponça store is located on Avda Rei Jaume 1, 117, Locales 14 y 15, Santa Ponça, 07180, Mallorca, please call 871 964331 for more information.

Sleepless beaches awaken night time economy
Boasting a coastline of over 3000km and stunning beaches, Vietnam has the potential to develop its night time economy. Yet many coastal cities are lacking proper investment in services, shopping and entertainment to attract and increase tourists’ spending. Realizing the gap, the central city of Da Nang is pioneering the “Sleepless beach” initiative with a variety of activities for tourists to boost night-time economic development.
The city will also begin to pilot a cluster of restaurant services, shopping malls, bars, pubs, cafes ... operating until 2am in the riverside and coastal areas. At the same time, there are mechanisms and policies to develop the night time economy, encouraging overnight services.
However, many opinions suggest that Da Nang needs to be careful and make clear plans, as well as calculate options to ensure security, order and safety for tourists.
With the advantages of nature and infrastructure, Da Nang still has plenty of rooms to prove its nightlife appeal. And the formation of "sleepless beaches" with careful planning is expected to help the central tourism city to awaken its night time economic potential./. | <urn:uuid:c1f445d1-52dd-4c47-a978-c30c4e9e8ef1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en.vietnamplus.vn/sleepless-beaches-awaken-night-time-economy/165931.vnp | 2024-04-25T07:58:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.94454 | 238 |
One highly anticipated event was the Investment Forum, where enCity’s CEO Dzung Do Nguyen, together with other thought leaders in the region, offered insights on how Southeast Asian metropolises such as Jakarta and Ho Chi Minh City can overcome urban challenges through revitalisation and rejuvenation.
At the Forum, the panelists discussed indepthly the case of Jakarta, where the relocation of the Indonesian National Capital to Kalimantan serves as an opportunity for urban regeneration. Dzung, together with Tiyok Prasetyoadi, Managing Director of PDW Indonesia, unveiled enCity’s work on a 29-ha site in Ragunan, South Jakarta, showing the potential to turn abandoned civic administrative sites into housing opportunities for different income groups, new public amenities, and employment hubs for the city at large.
Through careful traffic and hydraulic impact assessments, the proposal for Ragunan also adds to the overall infrastructure network of the city through strategies involving Transit-oriented development and water-sensitive urban typologies. With high-density development around transit stations and an extensive network of walkways and bike paths, less than 50% of total trips will be made by private vehicles. Additionally, with one third of land area reserved for public greenery and retention areas, the development will be able to keep all 10-year stormwater runoff on site, and effectively implement the city’s zero run-off policy.
During the discussion, Dzung also pointed to the development potentials on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City, due to significant improvement in regional transport infrastructure such as the construction of Long Thanh international airport and Ring Road 3. These showcase the crucial role of infrastructure and connectivity as levers for urban development. With the relocation of the existing airport to the outskirts, opportunities for inner city revitalisation also avail for Ho Chi Minh City.
In summary, the panelists agree that the potential is ripe for Southeast Asian cities, and we await exciting opportunities to further transform these global metropolises into liveable cities and economic powerhouses in the coming years. | <urn:uuid:d04d9ec1-1b15-4a09-9eef-1e77bebf72b6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://encity.co/encitys-ceo-unveiled-urban-regeneration-proposal-at-uli-asia-pacific-summit/ | 2024-04-25T06:53:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.925812 | 428 |

Litecoin Foundation trying to generate revenue to be self-sustaining: Xinxi Wang
“No, @LTCFoundation won’t be bankrupted.”
Litecoin Foundation’s Co-founder, Xinxi Wang, took to Twitter to address the controversy that has been making the rounds since the release of the Foundation’s audit of financial data posted by Reddit user u/Toyake. A screenshot of the Foundation’s audit posted by the user apparently showed “almost depleted in funds” in the first quarter of 2019.
According to the released document, Litecoin Foundation drew most of its income from donations, merchandise sales and the upcoming Litecoin Summit, which is set to begin in two weeks. Wang had previously stated that the fall in donation numbers was due to market stagnation.
Litecoin’s ecosystem has been engulfed in a lot of FUD lately, and mostly because its price failed to gain necessary momentum or movement after its much anticipated halving. The Litecoin Foundation, which came into existence only in 2017, six years after the cryptocurrency emerged, had been on the receiving end of a lot of strong criticism, mostly directed towards inefficiencies over “how the business is run” and its “balance sheet.”
Wang, a Board Director at the Litecoin Foundation, tweeted,
“We will do more if we have more money and do less with less money. We didn’t have a business model. And we have been trying to figure out ways to generate revenue to be self-sustaining. Let us know if you can help.”
In his latest tweets, the Co-Founder revealed that despite the fact that he is not being paid, the Foundation has “strong believers” and that “money won’t be a problem,” since the team “has a plan.”
While many in the community tried to stir up conflict, Charlie Lee, Litecoin Founder and the Managing Director of LTC Foundation, put the notion of “LF wasting all the money on sponsorships” to rest. On the original Reddit post, while revealing that the Foundation will release the latest financial numbers, Lee reiterated that “the Foundation has not paid a single cent” towards any sponsorships.
Additionally, Wang also refuted claims of a “non-public deal” with WEG bank worth $2.8 million. He tweeted,
“We spent $0 on WEG bank’s equity. Don’t know what people are talking about the acquisition of millions of dollars. Reporters, be professional and grab some financial knowledge before reporting.”
The Litecoin Foundation Co-Founder added,

The US needs to invest more in aviation safety technology solutions after a series of close-call runway incidents this year, the head of the US National Transportation Safety Board said on Tuesday.
The NTSB is investigating six runway incursion events since January including some that could have been catastrophic.
Technology systems that help detect aircraft and ground vehicles at airports to prevent runway incursion are currently used at 43 US airports. That technology needs to be upgraded and all other commercial airports also need additional technology, Jennifer Homendy, chair of the NTSB, told reporters.
She was speaking after a five-hour meeting with industry, union, government and academic representatives on ways to address runway incursions.
"We have to make sure all these upgrades to safety can be funded," Homendy said, adding that proper pilot and air traffic control staffing was also important.
The US has about 500 commercial airports.
The US runway incursion rate steadily increased from late 2022 and into 2023, peaking in March at 33 per 1 million takeoffs and landings. That rate fell to 19 in April.
According to Reuters, Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said the rate was coming closer to normal levels and vowed continued vigilance.
The US has not had a major fatal US passenger airline crash since February 2009.
In March, the FAA said it was taking steps to improve air traffic control, convening a safety summit and issuing a safety alert. In April, it named an independent safety review team and on Monday, it announced an investment of $100 million in 12 airports for improvements to taxiways and lighting to reduce runway incursions.
Homendy said a FedEx cargo plane and a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 that came within about 115 feet (35 meters) of each other in Austin on Feb. 4 in poor visibility conditions could have been a "terrible tragedy."
She disclosed Tuesday that the FedEx plane's first officer saw a single light from the Southwest 737 and then a silhouette of the plane before they aborted their planned landing.
"The first officer said, 'Hey this is what I see' and then says 'I think we should perform a go around,'" Homendy told reporters. "This crew did a great job."
Near-miss incidents have also occurred in Boston, Florida and include a near collision at New York's JFK airport between a Delta Air Lines plane and an American Airlines Boeing 777. | <urn:uuid:19107d01-687b-411f-bd03-6249d9cd1ff6> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://english.aawsat.com/technology/4344416-us-safety-board-more-tech-investment-needed-prevent-aviation-accidents | 2024-04-25T09:05:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.977228 | 488 |
Robin Williams’ wife: He had Parkinson’s disease
Susan Schneider said that Williams, 63, was struggling with depression, anxiety and the Parkinson’s diagnosis
Robin Williams was in the early stages of Parkinson’s disease at the time of his death, his wife said Thursday.
In a statement, Susan Schneider said that Williams, 63, was struggling with depression, anxiety and the Parkinson’s diagnosis when he died Monday in his Northern California home. Authorities said he committed suicide.
“Robin’s sobriety was intact and he was brave as he struggled with his own battles of depression, anxiety as well as early stages of Parkinson’s disease, which he was not yet ready to share publicly,” Schneider said.
Schneider did not offer details on when the actor comedian had been diagnosed or his symptoms.
The Marin County Sheriff’s Department, which said Williams hanged himself, is conducting toxicology tests and interviews before issuing a final ruling. Lt. Keith Boyd of the Marin County Sheriff’s Department did not return phone calls and email messages from The Associated Press seeking comment on Schneider’s statement.
Williams’ death shocked fans and friends alike, despite his candor about decades of struggle with substance abuse and mental health. With Parkinson's, Williams faced shouldering yet another challenge.
Parkinson’s disease is an incurable nervous system disorder that involves a loss of brain cells controlling movement. Tremors, sometimes starting out in just one hand, are among the early symptoms.
It can also cause rigid, halting walking, slowed speech and sometimes dementia. Symptoms worsen over time and can often be treated with drugs.
Actor Michael J. Fox, who has long had the disease and is known for his efforts to fund research into it, tweeted that he was stunned to learn Williams had early symptoms.
“Stunned to learn Robin had PD. Pretty sure his support for our Fdn predated his diagnosis. A true friend; I wish him peace,” Fox tweeted.
Pop star Linda Ronstadt revealed in 2013 that she had Parkinson’s and said the disease had robbed her of her ability to sing. Boxer Muhammad Ali, the late radio personality Casey Kasem and the late Pope John Paul II are among other well-known figures diagnosed with the disease.
Parkinson’s affects about 1 million people nationwide, 6 million globally. The cause isn’t known but genes are thought to play a role.
There is no standard test for Parkinson's; doctors rely on symptoms, medical history and neurological exams to make the diagnosis.
Dr. Tanya Simuni, director of the Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center at Northwestern University’s medical school in Chicago, said patients often react to the diagnosis with surprise and despair.
Depression is often present even in early stages and can sometimes precede tremors that help doctors make the diagnosis, Simuni said.
It’s important to emphasize that not everyone who is depressed has Parkinson’s or is likely to develop it, she said, especially given “this tragic case” involving Williams in which the two diseases occurred.
She noted that many can live for years without severely debilitating symptoms, but also that 20 years after diagnosis, as many as 80 percent develop dementia. Antidepressants are among drugs commonly prescribed for the disease, along with medication to help control jerky movements.
Dr. Christopher Gomez, neurology chairman at the University of Chicago, said while it makes sense to think that a diagnosis could make someone feel depressed, depression and Parkinson's have a deeper, more organic connection. They are thought to affect the same regions of the brain, although their neurological relationship isn't well understood, he said.
“It’s downright curious that there's so much depression in Parkinson’s,” Gomez said.
Williams had publicly acknowledged periodic struggles with substance abuse, including alcohol. Recently, depression prompted him to enter rehab.
Schneider said that those who loved Williams are taking solace in the outpouring of affection and admiration for him.
“It is our hope in the wake of Robin’s tragic passing, that others will find the strength to seek the care and support they need to treat whatever battles they are facing so they may feel less afraid,” she said in her statement.

Explanation and Examples of Interjections in English
Interjections, express meaning or feeling in a word or two words. They do not help the reader understand the relationship between words and phrases in the sentence.
Instead, interjections are words that express easily the emotions of the speaker or the author. They have nothing to do with the grammatical structure in other parts of the sentence. Sometimes, interjections are used in academic or formal writings. They’re offset by an exclamation point. You’ll find interjections at the beginning of sentences, in the middle of sentences, at the end of sentences, and sometimes as standalone sentences on their own.
Table of Contents
Beginning of sentences
Usually, interjections are used at the beginning of the sentence. They’re also associated with a punctuation mark designed to convey emotion: the exclamation point.
For example: “ I forgot that there was a grammar quiz today!”
Middle or end of sentences
Interjections don’t have to be at the beginning of a sentence. They can appear in the middle, at the end, or anywhere else where the speaker wants to interject a bit of feeling and emotion.
For example: “So, it’s raining again, huh?”
The interjection is found at the end of this sentence. In this example, an exclamation point wasn’t that necessitated the emotion. Instead, the interjection turned the sentence into a question.
Types of interjections;
There are literally hundreds of interjections. They are designed to express strong emotions. These are; love, hate, surprise, happiness, anger, enthusiasm, disgust, boredom, confusion, or unhappiness. However, this isn’t always true. Some interjections can express a mild emotion, such as “Excuse me.”
A sample list of interjections includes words such as: boo,crud,dang,eew,gosh,goodness, etc.
Sometimes, interjections aren’t recommended in formal or academic writing. Because of their emotive function, there’s virtually no place for them in an academic writing designed to convey facts. By definition, facts should be devoid of emotion or opinion in the academic or formal writing.
Here is List of Interjections and Meanings;
Aah: Exclamation of fear
Ahh: Realization or acceptance
Aww: Something sweet or cute
Uh: Indicates a pause / need for more time
Hmm: Thinking / Hesitating about something
Er: Not knowing what to say
Um: Pausing or being skeptical
Eww: Something disgusting
Hmph: To indicate displeasure
Oh: I see / I think
Oops: Making a mistake
Ouch: Exclamation of pain
Shh: An indication for silence
Bingo: Acknowledge something as right
Eh: Question something
Uh oh: Showing dismay
Whew: Amazement and/or relief
Wow: Expressing surprise or admiration
Yay/Yaay: Congratulatory exclamation
Yeah: Variant of yes
Yikes: For fear or concern (not serious)
Yippee: Exclamation of celebration | <urn:uuid:68d6d173-949b-4a18-95c1-7a1f9134aa89> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://englishgrammarhere.com/interjections/explanation-and-examples-of-interjections-in-english/ | 2024-04-25T07:12:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.908943 | 686 |
ELC #288 Interactive Table
For our Choose your eLearning Challenge Topic #288 submission, we created an interactive table, which provides the population, number of COVID cases and number of COVID deaths for five states: PA, GA, NY, TX and FL.
We selected a simple primary-color palette: red, blue and yellow. The design is a simple, block-type, rectangular shape design with shadow effects.
The user clicks on an icon and a slide layer appears, which has the statistic and the percentage relationship of that statistic to the US general population, number of COVID cases and number of COVID deaths. Once the user selects all the icons, the Exit slide layer appears with a brief slide that displays the three things people can do to protect themselves from contracting the coronavirus.
We created the table interaction using layers, variables and states. Here’s how we did it.
- Lay out the objects on the base layer: columns, column titles, rows, row titles and icons (population, coronavirus cases and coronavirus deaths).
- Create a Visited state for each icon, which displays the statistic. (Earth = Population; Coronavirus = Number of Coronavirus Cases; Skull = Number of Coronavirus Deaths)
- Create a slide layer for each icon. For example, the first three slider layers are for Florida’s population, number of coronavirus cases and number of coronavirus deaths.
- Create a number variable called counter.
- On each slide layer, add a trigger with the counter variable that adds a value of 1 each time the timeline begins on that slide layer. Add another trigger that shows the Exit layer when the counter variable reaches 15. So once the user views all the slide layers the Exit layer shows.
- On the main layer and for each icon, add a trigger that displays the corresponding slide layer when the user selects the icon. Add another trigger that changes the state of the icon to the visited state, which shows the statistical number.
- Add an Instructions slide layer that appears immediately when the timeline on the main layer starts. This slide layer tells the user how to user the interactive table. Add a trigger that hides the Instructions slide layer when the user selects the Continue button.
This interaction took approximately three hours to create in Storyline 360. | <urn:uuid:6e94d9ce-3df0-41cc-8970-4e5ee950a022> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://enovatelearning.com/elc-288-interactive-table/ | 2024-04-25T08:21:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.842817 | 485 |
Beyond Lithium (BY.CN) engages in the acquisition, development, and exploration of mineral property assets in Canada. The company primarily has a focus on Lithium, a commodity with great fundamentals given the increasing demand for Electric Vehicles. With 64 lithium properties in Ontario covering over 150,000 hectares, Beyond Lithium is the largest greenfield lithium exploration player in the Province.
The program consisted of:
- A stripping program designed to expose the extension of the spodumene pegmatites in all-directions and to potentially uncover more subparallel dykes;
- A drilling program targeted to further understand and delineate the characteristics and the densities of these subparallel spodumene pegmatite dykes; and
- An exploration and sampling program along the identified 13 km lithium exploration corridor.
Allan Frame, President and CEO of Beyond Lithium, commented, “Beyond Lithium announced the discovery of the spodumene-bearing pegmatites zone at Ear Falls Project in September (see press release dated September 17, 2023). Grab samples from the area where the initial discovery was made (named the Wenasaga North Zone) assayed up to 4.54 per cent lithium oxide (“Li2O”). Given the promising results announced at the time, our team went back to the property and made significant additional discoveries. We are delighted that, in less than three months of field work, we have completed a prospecting program, a stripping and channel sampling program, and a drilling program and we have extensively sampled new areas.”
“Our field crew continued exploration was based on the geological data we collected from the early field work. They were able to expand the Wenasaga North Zone by over 50% from 1.0 km to 1.5 km by locating additional spodumene-bearing pegmatites. Yet, the footprint of the Wenasaga North Zone accounts for only 1.0% of the total Ear Falls Project size of 20,623 hectares.”
“We expect to receive all the drilling assays from the lab in the first half of January at which point we will review all the data collected in 2023 and finalize a comprehensive drilling program to begin once permits are received.”
The channel sampling program consisted of a total of 64 channel samples from 15 channel locations ranging from 0.67m to 10.77m. The stripping and channel sampling program was designed to further understand the grade distribution and continuity in the pegmatites and the host rocks for designing the follow-up exploration program to explore for additional and subparallel spodumene-bearing pegmatites.
Lawrence Tsang, Beyond’s VP of Exploration stated: “We are glad that the prospecting, the stripping and channel sampling, and the drilling program completed at Ear Falls were successful at reaching the programs’ objective which was to gather geological data to understand the characteristics of the Ear Falls system for planning the next exploration program, including drilling.”
Drilling Summary included:
- Completed seven AQ sized diamond drill holes totalling 329.59m from three different drilling sites testing up to 150 m strike length and 50 m dip continuity of pegmatites.
- Five holes intersected spodumene mineralization, including one dyke not exposed on surface.
- Model for stacked pegmatites system intercepting multiple subparallel spodumene-bearing pegmatites at depth confirmed.
- System remains open to all directions.
- Over 240 drilling samples results expected in the first half of January.
Lawrence Tsang commented: “This initial drilling program at Ear Falls demonstrated the pegmatites have good strike and dip continuities. In addition, the system remains open in all directions. The drilling has shown the potential to uncover more subparallel pegmatites at depth. In other words, more pegmatites are potentially covered by vegetation or overburden which can only be discovered by stripping or drilling. The Wenasaga North Zone discovery provided us with a starting point for exploration drilling at Ear Falls. The combination of wider and denser pegmatites with lithium mineralization in the Sandy Creek West Zone and the geological data collected from the prospecting and the channel sampling programs in the Wenasaga North Zone establishes a strong vector towards the Sandy Creek West Zone for further follow up exploration at Ear Falls.”
The stock is down 8% on today’s news at time of writing.
In terms of technical analysis, the stock failed to hold above the $0.42 support zone. What was once support has now become resistance. The stock retested $0.42 as resistance and saw the sellers jump in, leading to today’s drop. It looks like the stock will make a leg lower taking us down to the $027 support zone. | <urn:uuid:3b1f864a-2a47-4dd1-a249-a52832b35174> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://equity.guru/2023/12/19/beyond-lithium-by-cn-reports-ear-falls-exploration-results/ | 2024-04-25T06:44:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.9292 | 998 |

The online lottery market refers to the segment of the online gambling industry that offers customers the opportunity to purchase tickets for various lotteries, including national and international lotteries, over the internet. Online lottery platforms allow customers to choose their numbers, purchase tickets, and check the results of lottery draws online.
Data includes revenue figures in Gross Gambling Revenue (GGR), which is the total amount of bets placed by customers minus the amount paid out in winnings, Users, average revenue per user (ARPU) and, user penetration rate. User and revenue figures represent B2C services.
Online lottery ticket sales for national and international lotteries such as Powerball, Mega Millions, and EuroMillions
Instant win games or scratch cards that can be played online
Online keno games, which are similar to lottery games.
Offline lottery ticket sales, such as those sold at physical stores or kiosks
Private or unlicensed lottery games
Betting on lottery outcomes rather than purchasing actual tickets
The Online Lottery market is experiencing significant growth and development worldwide.
Customer preferences: Customers are increasingly turning to online platforms for their lottery needs due to the convenience and accessibility they offer. Online lottery platforms allow customers to participate in various lotteries from the comfort of their own homes, eliminating the need to physically visit a retail location. Additionally, online platforms often provide a wider range of lottery options, including international lotteries that were previously inaccessible to many customers. The ability to purchase tickets and check results online also appeals to younger generations who are more comfortable with digital technologies.
Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the online lottery market is the increasing popularity of mobile lottery apps. With the widespread use of smartphones and tablets, customers can now easily access lottery platforms on the go. Mobile apps offer a seamless and user-friendly experience, allowing customers to purchase tickets, check results, and receive notifications directly on their mobile devices. This trend is particularly prominent in countries with high smartphone penetration rates. Another trend in the market is the emergence of blockchain technology in the online lottery industry. Blockchain offers enhanced security and transparency, addressing concerns about fraud and ensuring fair play. Some online lottery platforms are leveraging blockchain technology to create decentralized and tamper-proof systems, providing customers with greater trust and confidence in the lottery process.
Local special circumstances: In certain countries, the online lottery market is heavily regulated or restricted. Some governments have imposed strict regulations on online gambling, including lotteries, to protect consumers and prevent illegal activities. These regulations can limit the growth of the online lottery market in those countries. In contrast, other countries have embraced online lottery platforms and have implemented favorable regulations to encourage their growth. These countries recognize the potential economic benefits of the online lottery industry, including increased tax revenues and job creation. They have created a supportive environment for online lottery operators, allowing them to thrive and expand their customer base.
Underlying macroeconomic factors: The growth of the online lottery market is also influenced by macroeconomic factors such as disposable income and economic stability. In countries with higher disposable income levels, customers are more likely to spend money on leisure activities such as playing the lottery. Similarly, countries with a stable economy and low unemployment rates tend to have a larger customer base for online lottery platforms. In conclusion, the online lottery market is experiencing significant growth worldwide due to customer preferences for convenience and accessibility. Mobile apps and blockchain technology are key trends shaping the market, while local regulations and macroeconomic factors play a role in determining the growth potential in different countries.
The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Gambling Revenue (GGR) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services. The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.
Modeling approach / Market size:
Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies, and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.
In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, the urban population, the usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.
The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level.

“A democracy cannot survive merely by being well informed, it must also be contemplative, and wise.” – E.B. White
John and Jeremy Zogby are part of the team at Zogby Strategies whose mission is to examine Americans’ thinking to keep us better informed, and hopefully, more “contemplative and wise.”
Before Tuesday’s election, both correctly recognized that the race between Trump and Biden was much closer than others believed – 49 percent for Biden; 43 percent for Trump.
Jeremy produces The IntelligenSEER, a weekly report that distills polling and combined with historical perspective, gives us a clearer picture of where America may well be headed. This week’s report entitled, The Reset or The Anchor reveals much behind the thinking of both democrats and republicans.
In an email exchange, Jeremy observes that the popular vote totals between Trump and Biden indicate an equal divide between urban and rural America, something that surprised me and much of the media.
According to countrystudies.us, a similar conflict took place in the 1790s between the Federalists and Antifederalists.
“The Federalists, led by Alexander Hamilton… represented the urban mercantile interests of the seaports; the Antifederalists, led by Thomas Jefferson, spoke for the rural and southern interests. …
“Jefferson advocated a decentralized agrarian republic. He recognized the value of a strong central government in foreign relations, but he did not want it strong in other respects. Hamilton’s great aim was a more efficient organization, whereas Jefferson once said, ‘I am not a friend to a very energetic government.’ Hamilton feared anarchy and thought in terms of order; Jefferson feared tyranny and thought in terms of freedom.”
“‘We live, without question, in Hamilton’s America,’ says Stephen F. Knott, professor of national security affairs at the United States Naval War College and co-author of ‘Washington and Hamilton: The Alliance That Forged America.’
“‘Hamilton had the foresight to see the United States emerging as an economic and military power that would surpass Great Britain and the other European powers. All of Hamilton’s policies as treasury secretary and as President Washington’s closest advisor were designed to convince his fellow Americans to, as Hamilton put it, “think continentally.” He wanted the citizenry to think of themselves first and foremost as Americans—not New Yorkers or Virginians.’ ”
Today, “I’m afraid we’re headed down the path of political tribalism,” Jeremy Zogby observes.
“In a tribal culture – individuals only understand the ways of their kinship and have a difficult time empathizing with those outside their kin or kind. This results in seeing how others do things differently as wrong and even foolish. I’m seeing this trend intensify and play out in politics – a total loss in the ability to understand the other – and it’s getting beyond that.
“We should never forget George Washington’s farewell speech,” Jeremy emphasizes. “Many of us get the gist but are not taking it seriously.”
In a speech that spoke of his love of country, Washington was humble but firm on what he believed could be a grave internal threat.
Speaking of rigid party loyalties, Washington warned they could “…become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion. …
“It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection. It opens the door to foreign influence and corruption, which finds a facilitated access to the government itself through the channels of party passions. …
“… A fire not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vigilance to prevent its bursting into a flame, lest, instead of warming, it should consume.”
“We should be wary of political parties,” Jeremy says. “Yet, I see people treating party identification like religion. Citizens should not rely on the leadership of political parties who are at war with each other.”
First and foremost, we must think of ourselves as Americans – not red or blue. | <urn:uuid:c614e239-b5cb-442a-8a4d-31c5dd849627> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://ethicsstupid.com/character/a-fire-not-to-be-quenched/ | 2024-04-25T06:52:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.959242 | 949 |

Portugal: Portuguese Union of Journalists’ initiative to help reduce risks of burnout in journalism
The European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) welcomed the Portuguese Union of Journalists (SJ)’s project on mental health of journalists and media workers in Portugal. The initiative aims at raising awareness and helping employed and freelance journalists navigate the rising challenges of digital journalism, especially difficult in these post-pandemic times. It includes a research study, three workshops, digital trainings and a concluding conference. It is headed by SJ’s former Vice-President Isabel Nery and board member João Miguel Rodrigues.
The study: Analysing the digital journalism sector
The project kicked off in March this year with a study on journalism as a high-risk profession, focusing on the digital journalism sector. The study analysed how working online can affect the journalists’ mental health. The research ran from January to June 2022 and was done based on a sample of near to 850 journalists in Portugal. The results will be published in March 2023 and presented in Lisbon.
The workshops: Basic training needs
Three workshops have been organised. Each of these workshop aims at improving the digital skills of journalists as well as addressing the mental health challenges that can be encountered.
The first workshop, which was held online in May, answered questions on audio editing and podcasts, with storytelling advice. The workshop, that lasted a total of 12 hours divided in three sessions, included practical exercises.
The second workshop, partly online, has started mid-October and will be completed at the end of 2023. The workshop covers the areas of digital writing, storytelling and data development, social media networks and SEO. Due to the success it has already received and high demand, the sessions will be accessible online in November.
The third workshop, that will take place in January 2023, will focus on mental health. Psychology, law and creative writing specialists have been invited to held the sessions.
The podcast: Tackling burnout
As part of the project, a series of six podcast episodes on burnout will be launched at the beginning of 2023. Personal experiences will be shared by journalists from Portugal, and mental health specialists will share insights, advice and discuss resilience.
The conference: More to come in 2023
The concluding conference will highlight the main findings of the report.
This project is partly funded by the European Commission through the EFJ and the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC)’s joint project “Trade Union for a Fair Recovery“. | <urn:uuid:66f13b24-92f2-4f37-832f-1283608e9f83> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://europeanjournalists.org/blog/2022/10/31/portugal-portuguese-union-of-journalists-initiative-to-tackle-burnout-in-journalism/ | 2024-04-25T07:41:45Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.958155 | 520 |

Toronto Public Library – Gerrard/Ashdale Branch
1432 Gerrard Street East, Toronto, Ontario, M4L 1Z6
As part of THE NFB IN LIBRARIES, the Gerrard/Ashdale Branch of the Toronto Public Library is offering a free screening of the following documentary :
Undertaker for Life! (Georges Hannan | 2022 | 52 min)
Despite the somewhat frightening name of their occupation, undertakers are actually charming philosophers and keen observers of life. We only see their sombre side, but away from the funeral rites and on camera, they turn out to be amazingly insightful. Their love of life and the living, their dark humour and comforting wisdom are the best remedies against existential despair.

Queenslanders will tell you that their state is the best of Australia all rolled into one – it is the home of some of the world’s most treasured natural wonders like the Great Barrier Reef and the ancient Daintree Rainforest. It boasts beautiful beaches, perfect islands and the razzle dazzle of the Gold Coast; there is the channel country, the savannah country, Cape York, the Great Dividing Range and the Gulf country. Queensland is larger than life!
Southern Queensland takes in the four main centres of Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and loads of lovely rural and natural hinterland. Brisbane is an optimistic city, its sunny weather, gently winding river and low population density all add up to an outdoor lifestyle. The Gold Coast is renowned for its action-packed theme parks, wildlife sanctuaries, championship golf courses and the sophistication of Main Beach.
A little further north are The Whitsundays – 74 incredibly beautiful tropical islands, a fabulous place for boating holidays and home to Qualia, one of Australia’s most luxurious small hotels.
Behind all this is the vast Outback, a landscape which seems endless in time and space and where every town has a story to tell. There are dinosaur foot prints, brilliant wildflowers, ancient Aboriginal rock art sites and dinky-di characters to share a beer with.
Far North Queensland offers is perhaps the epitome of ‘the best of Australia rolled into one.’ Port Douglas is the perfect base from which to explore tropical rainforests and the underwater treasure trove of the Great Barrier Reef. Here you can take a walk with an Aboriginal guide, enjoy an excellent meal of fresh seafood and tropical fruits, potter about in the Atherton Tablelands and spend a morning with a naturalist who will have little forest creatures skittering about your feet.

When to go
Queensland is blessed with an enviable climate of warm sunny days. Warm summers and mild winters are what you can expect, plus loads of sunshine (with just the occasional shower).
Queensland is divided into a subtropical region in the south, where summers are warm, winters are mild and autumn and spring offer the very best of climates, as well as a tropical region in the north, where the wet season (throughout summer (October to April)) can be quite humid and hot, while the dry season (throughout winter (May to September)) is quite dry and mild.
And as for the jelly fish…
The marine stinger season is between November and May. Stingers are more common on the inside of the Reef and in the north than they are on the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef and on the outer reef and around the outer islands such as Lizard, Heron and Wilson. In these months, however, no matter where you are we recommend you wear a stinger suit which greatly reduces the likelihood of a sting and protects you from the strong summer sun!

So many Brits dream of moving to France…
From the tranquil lavender fields of Provence to the bustling streets of Paris, moving to France has long been a dream for British expatriates seeking a new life filled with culture, cuisine, and that je ne sais quoi. With its close proximity to the UK and a deep-rooted historical connection, France has become a popular choice for many Brits looking to venture across the English Channel.
We are a Franco-British couple and have been sharing our time between the UK and France for many years. Being fluent in the French language hasn’t prevented us from finding French bureaucracy complicated, not to say incredibly frustrating at times, and a bit of a headache, to be honest.
We hope this post will be useful to British expatriates who decide to take the plunge, and that it will help them adapt to the French way of life, navigating the highs and lows of cultural integration, language barriers, heavy paperwork, and the pursuit of la belle vie.
What to expect once you’ve taken the plunge?
Our first and main point is language immersion: quite often armed with a simple basic command of the French language, British expats in France are usually surprised to find that it isn’t enough and that speaking English doesn’t get them very far (this statement applies to larger towns as well as remote or small villages). It can be a challenge, but on the plus side, as they are exposed to the French language on a daily basis, this often leads to improved fluency and understanding of French culture. As far as we are concerned, this is a positive point: being thrown in at the deep end can be a plus. However, we recommend taking French lessons long before you decide to move instead of waiting until you’re settled.
Adapting to a new healthcare system is another must: the French healthcare system is considered one of the best in the world. Obviously, expats must familiarize themselves with the process of accessing healthcare, including registering for a Carte Vitale, which is the French social security card (a must): no long waiting lists to access medical care, and from our own personal experience, great communication between GPs and specialists. They actually seem to care about their patients. Or perhaps we have just been lucky?
Food, glorious food
French gastronomy is world-renowned, so changing diet and eating habits is inevitable: expats living in France often experience a change in their diet, with an increase in fresh produce, bread, cheese, and wine consumption. Most French people buy their daily baguette from their local boulangerie or supermarket (where choice and quality are also very good) and are spoilt for choice with countless styles of baguettes ranging from Céréales to Rustique, from Pain au Maïs to the baker’s own signature baguette, to Pain de Campagne, Boule or simple plain Pain.
Customers can even buy half a baguette or loaf. Bread is definitely THE staple food in the French diet. A meal without bread is simply unheard of. Besides, isn’t it funny how suddenly dipping your buttered baguette, croissant, or other viennoiserie in your morning coffee has become so natural when it once felt revolting?
Work/life balance, Bureaucracy, and French customs
Embracing French work-life balance will help: the French are known for their work-life balance, with a 35-hour work week and a focus on leisure time. This may be an adjustment for British expats accustomed to longer working hours. But isn’t it great?
Navigating bureaucracy: now, this is more of an issue. France is known for its complex bureaucracy, and once living in France, expats must adapt to the various administrative processes, such as obtaining a residence permit, registering a vehicle, paying taxes, etc. The French have a paper document for everything. Paper is big. In fact, even cheques are still a widely accepted form of payment!
Adopting French customs: expats often adopt local customs, such as greeting others with a cheek kiss (la bise or les bises, depending on the region. Hugging is not really the done thing, though), observing the French tradition of apéritif which is incredibly popular (l’apéro), or celebrating French holidays like Bastille Day. Dare we mention the strikes? Striking seems to be part of the culture in France, so expect regular disturbances ranging from shortages of petrol due to refineries being blocked on a regular basis, to strikes in the public transport sector (SNCF, Air France, etc.) and the education sector. Most people are inconvenienced by these strikes but generally tolerate and even support them.
Education, Currency, and Driving on the right-hand side of the road
Education system: British expats with children must navigate the French education system, which can be quite different from the UK’s. This includes understanding the grading system, the school calendar (France is usually divided between 3 different regional zones, A, B, and C, in order to avoid overlapping. Depending on where you live, you may find that your Easter break takes place well after the actual Easter weekend) and the significance of the Baccalauréat diploma.
Currency and banking: moving to France means adapting to the use of the euro instead of the British pound. Opening a French bank account to manage your finances is a must.
Driving on the right: unlike in the UK, and similarly to every EU country, people in France drive on the right side of the road, which may require an adjustment for British expats. We have always found that owning a French car with left-hand drive makes it a lot easier to drive on the correct side of the road: less chance of getting confused, especially when negotiating roundabouts.
A nice, slow, easy pace…
Adjusting to a slower pace of life: France, especially in rural areas, tends to have a slower pace of life compared to the UK. This can be both a challenge and a welcome change for British expats. Lunch breaks generally last between 1 and 2 hours, and Sunday trading is not as widespread as in the UK. There are no 24-hour supermarkets (certainly none that we know of), and most shops are closed on a Sunday (except for boulangeries and the odd supermarket which are open in the morning). Small towns are absolutely dead on a Sunday afternoon.
Last but not least: Brexit consequences
Brexit implications: since the UK’s departure from the EU, British expats in France have faced additional bureaucratic hurdles, such as applying for new residency cards and dealing with possible changes in access to healthcare and pensions. Watch out for your stay allowance until you get a residency card: 90 days in a rolling 180. If you go over the allowance, French immigration will most likely give you 2 or 3 days’ grace, but any longer and you risk getting banned from entering the EU for a whole year. So beware! | <urn:uuid:bc82b7e2-8218-4862-a00b-1c7b4d4a11e1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://expatsfrance.com/what-happens-to-brits-after-moving-to-france/ | 2024-04-25T07:33:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.95423 | 1,476 |
The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers). An example of a network attack is an attacker causing a denial of service by sending a specially crafted TCP packet across a wide area network (e.g., CVE-2004-0230).
The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker. Examples include: a remote attacker is able to send packets to a target system a locally authenticated attacker executes code to elevate privileges
An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In the case of a vulnerability in a virtualized environment, an exploited vulnerability in one guest instance would not affect neighboring guest instances.
There is total information disclosure, resulting in all data on the system being revealed to the attacker, or there is a possibility of the attacker gaining control over confidential data.
There is no impact on the integrity of the system; the attacker does not gain the ability to modify any files or information on the target system.
There is no impact on the availability of the system; the attacker does not have the ability to disrupt access to or use of the system.

I was minding my own business, searching for my tennis ball, when I realized that the stream I’d just crossed was new. As the self-appointed cartographer of Sparkadia, I charted its headwaters to a spring in the Fields of Lost Memories—that’s a place outside of town where lost memories from all the dimensions grow on flowers. They are beautiful little treasures that bloom and pollinate every so often. However, it can create the most frustrating of all emotions: nostalgia. What’s even weirder is that you can get “infected” with someone else’s nostalgia! Nothing’s stranger than suffering from someone else’s nostalgia for times you’ve never lived. I do not remember “boy bands,” or “the halcyon days of the great bard,” but I’ve spent countless hours sniffing them out to scratch that nostalgic itch, only to find myself wondering what the fuss was all about. Guess some things require the context of the lived life.
Luckily, this new stream fueled up my own nostalgia for all my old animal chums back on my Earth. I don’t know where that is, but as I looked at my reflection, I saw my old pal Ginger looking back at me. She was quite the drama queen, but she had the most beautiful, sweetest little soul… for a cat. I dipped my nose to the water, to see if it smelled like her—she smelled like a pleasant blend of tortillas and mushroom soup. The water smelled like her! I got so excited I dipped my schnozz into the stream, inhaled the water, and then kinda choked in that infuriating way one chokes on water. When I regained my composure, I saw bubbles rising off the surface of the stream. In each one was a memory of my old animal buddies! How I miss them all… I watched a gust of wind carry the bubbles across the sky (which was a soft cyan color today) and scatter them across Sparkadia.
My own nostalgia, now deeply activated, must be scratched! If you have an image of an old animal friend of mine, be a pal and share it with me, Max, will you? | <urn:uuid:88be3223-a5f1-4898-8ab5-b68270257505> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://explore.sparkadia.gg/universe-and-ip/introduction/an-ascension-message-from-max | 2024-04-25T08:21:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.958231 | 470 |
Can Mental Illnesses be Inherited?
Can mental illnesses be inherited? Many people have asked this question, especially if they have family who suffers from mental disorders. In addition, a lot of research shows that some mental disorders have a genetic component.
On the other hand, research hasn’t been able to answer all the questions about how much do our genes influence this. Science advances slowly. Bit by bit, we’re learning more about the genetic inheritance of mental illnesses, although there’s still a lot of ground to cover.
We now understand that mental illnesses and health in general result from both genetics and our environment. In addition, we now know that, in many cases, people don’t inherit the illness itself, just the predisposition to develop it.
People with relatives who suffer from mental disorders often wonder if they may get them.
What factors determine your health?
Getting an illness or not depends on many factors. This is true even in cases of dominant inheritance. Thus, if there are no predisposing and triggering factors (the spark that lights the genetic fuse), you may never get the disease.
Because of this, scientists use probabilities. It’s impossible to predict if the child of a mentally ill person will develop the same disease. On the other hand, they do have a higher probability of suffering from it. And if the father and mother suffer from the same disease, the probability is even higher.
Let’s discuss the probability of inheriting some common mental illnesses.
Likelihood of inheriting schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is a serious mental illness that affects many brain functions, such as thought perception, emotions, and behavior. It’s a psychotic disorder, meaning that those who suffer from it lose contact with reality.
An estimated 1% of the population suffers from schizophrenia. Various studies also estimate that 40% of descendants of a schizophrenic father and mother will develop the disease. 15 out of a 100 people will have psychological anomalies, although not the disease itself.
The incidence rate is the same among fraternal twins. However, among identical twins, one of the twins has an 80% chance of suffering from schizophrenia if their twin suffers from it. It’s caused by a recessive gene, with an incomplete dominance of the carrier gene or genes.
Likelihood of inheriting bipolar disorder
Bipolar disorder is a serious disease due to the associated danger and disability. It’s also known as manic depression. People with bipolar disorder have unusual mood changes. It’s one of the most feared mental illnesses.
People with bipolar disorder have manic episodes and usually feel very happy and lively. They’re also more energetic and active than usual. Other times, people with bipolar disorder suffer depressive episodes and feel very sad and depressed, have little energy, and are much less active than normal.
About 0.4% of the population suffers from bipolar disorder. A patient’s risk increases when their parents suffer from it. Among identical twins, one of the twins has a 95% chance of developing the disorder if their twin suffers from it. It appears to be a dominant gene, with an incomplete dominance of the gene or genes.
Likelihood of inheriting intellectual disability
Most of the serious intellectual disabilities (80%) are caused by environmental factors. It might be an accident or disease that the patient suffered in the womb or in their early childhood. Therefore, they aren’t hereditary.
On the other hand, 80% of mild or moderate intellectual disabilities are linked to inheritance. When both the father and mother have intellectual disabilities, 80% of their children will suffer from the same mental illness. However, only 40% of children will be affected if only the mother or father has an intellectual disability.
A negative factor is that people with intellectual disabilities often form relationships with each other, increasing the chances of a genetic effect. If there’s an inherited gene, it appears to be recessive. It’s possible to inherit a mental illness such as an intellectual disability, although most of them are caused by external factors.
But what about other mental disorders, such as neurosis?
Someone with neurosis reacts abnormally because of previous experiences and environmental causes. Therefore, it isn’t hereditary. Multiple cases of neurosis in the same family can be explained by a “false inheritance”. It’s not due to genetic inheritance, but instead a poor family environment. This is sometimes called an “emotional pathogen” that tends to trigger the mental illness.
That being said, hereditary neurosis has a 70% rate. If a twin has it, their identical twin has an 83% chance of suffering from it as well. However, fraternal twins only have a 23% chance of suffering from the same disorder. Thus, the hypothesis of “emotional pathogen” is still in question.
Neurosis does seem to have a genetic component. In other words, there seems to be a genetic predisposition to react neurotically to pathogenic experiences. Although some are more likely to be inherited than others, studies on twins and family histories have shown it’s possible to inherit mental illnesses. | <urn:uuid:6281c0e5-2281-4af4-8288-ec363dace331> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://exploringyourmind.com/can-mental-illnesses-be-inherited/ | 2024-04-25T08:35:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.958723 | 1,070 |
Emotions Are the Driving Force of Your Life
At the end of the day, humans are emotional beings who learned to think just a little over one hundred thousand years ago. Today, the strength of your emotions often still precedes any conscious thoughts. They have always been the driving force, a set of processes that guaranteed human survival.
This isn’t always an easy idea to process. That’s because a lot of people prefer to think that they’re in total control of their actions and decisions. Nevertheless, a powerful universe of emotions directs a large part of your behavior, although you aren’t always aware of it.
Let’s reflect on this idea for a minute. You wake up in the morning in a particular mood. Sometimes, you feel motivated, while other times your energy is low. Whatever your emotions, the way you feel affects your whole day.
The drive that propels every step you take, big or small, is filtered by emotions. While it’s true that we try to rationalize our decisions after the fact, emotions are the initial driving force, and they leave their mark. In addition, you can’t deny that what you buy is motivated by your emotions, as are your social and emotional relationships.
The transcendence, permeation, and complexity of emotions inform everything you do and the way you relate to your surroundings. This is an undeniable fact.
“I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.”
-Oscar Wilde, The Portrait of Dorian Gray-
Your emotions are the driving force of everything you do
The idea of gaining control of your emotions is common in practically every self-help book out there. The books (and the general public) often use words such as “manage” and “control”. When you see those words, it’s easy to think that emotions are like cars or accounts that you simply have to know how to administrate.
Well, if that’s indeed the case, you can’t manage or control something if you don’t understand what you’re dealing with. To that end, neurologist Antonio Damasio has written books such as Looking for Spinoza and The Strange Order of Things that shed some light on the subject.
Your emotions want you to survive and do well
An emotion is basically a chemical and neural response to a stimulus. It’s your brain reaction to a stimulus that requires some kind of action on your part. For example, you see a snake. You know it could be dangerous, so you get away from it “without stopping to think”. This internal chemical response triggers changes in your body with one goal in mind: to help you execute the appropriate behavioral response.
The purpose of this emotional force is to help you react to things that happen around you. It ensures your survival and helps you return to homeostasis – in other words, to a state of balance and well-being. That being said, most people have emotional problems because they don’t know what their emotions are telling them.
Fear, sadness, anger, frustration… Many of these emotions we label “negative” also serve a certain purpose. They’re there to warn you that something is wrong and that you need to react. However, it’s easy and common to leave your emotions there, in the deepest recesses of who you are, and let them upset your balance and well-being.
Emotions, feelings, and thoughts
Emotions always come before feelings, and they often precede even your thoughts. In Damasio’s book Looking for Spinoza and How the Brain Works by Francisco Mora, the authors talk about the importance of understanding the difference between emotions and feelings. Emotions, they explain, are from the body, while feelings come from the mind.
The first thing you experience is emotion. It’s the first reaction to anything that happens to you. The mental experience that those changes trigger in your body is what shapes your feelings. Feelings can be a motivating force or they can be a stumbling block.
In the last stage of human evolution, we’ve learned how to better understand and control our emotions. The development of the frontal and prefrontal lobes has allowed humans to be aware of feelings and emotions. That has shaped more refined, creative, rational, and powerful behaviors.
After all, don’t forget that you can’t separate emotions and thoughts. Together, they provide the driving force that propels you through life. Emotions that are controlled by thoughts tend to shape innovative and positive behaviors.
Your emotions should be your allies, not your enemies
You can’t deny that emotions are the driving force of your life. To a great extent, they’re what informs most of your behavior. Likewise, your feelings are what gives you hope and revitalizes you when they align with your thoughts. That’s why it’s important to know not only what an emotion is, but also how to manage them, channel them, and make them work in your favor.
This isn’t an easy task. It requires time and self-awareness. You need to be connected to your inner-self and respond appropriately. As Daniel Goleman so aptly explains, people have two minds: one that thinks and another that feels. Happiness and true well-being come when your thinking and feeling minds work together.

Everyone makes sacrifices, not only to protect ourselves but to also protect others. However, essential workers put themselves at even higher risk daily. Thank you to all the essential workers who have displayed empathy and courage through their continuous work.
Our communities would lack essentials for shelter, food, and toiletries without the work of grocery and retail employees, truck drivers who transport goods, and the individuals who package the goods.
Thousands of people have put their lives on the line in hospitals where they are in direct contact with dire and contagious COVID-19 patients. It does not matter whether they are doctors, nurses, janitorial staff, or administrative; each hospital job is a necessity to help fight the pandemic and keep the curve from rising. We know that this has been extremely difficult for healthcare workers, as many voluntarily self-isolate for weeks from their immediate family to protect their loved ones.
A simple text, card, email, or phone call to acknowledge the work of our health-care worker friends can make a big difference in their lives. This can give them more incentive and momentum to keep their morale and during a busy time of work. Many hospitals have created online kudo boards so that community members can post pictures and inspirational morale boosters to share with the staff. I encourage you to visit these boards and have your kids upload their drawings.
Our educators are another group of specialized workers who work tirelessly during the pandemic: our teachers, paraprofessionals, support staff, and the administration for each local school district continue to be selfless leaders. Many teachers have had to make an abrupt shift to teaching online lessons. Based on my interaction with my daughter’s teachers, I know this has been a very difficult task for them to adapt to a strictly online forum. They have played a very important role in helping children continue to learn and by keeping them engaged during long stay-at-home hours. Some teachers have the added responsibility of having to teach our children during the day while simultaneously helping their own children with schoolwork.
I have noticed more and more of our “everyday” citizens showing daily acts of kindness by volunteering and helping neighbors. I have read numerous accounts of individuals assisting others during this pandemic, and have witnessed some myself. I have seen so many good-hearted people running errands, grocery shopping for the elderly, or delivering meals to the most vulnerable. During a crisis, it is reassuring to see that it brings out the best in our citizens, and people rise to be leaders in their local communities. I encourage you to visit CT Dart to look for ways you can volunteer in your local communities.
Ordinary people can achieve the extraordinary by helping their communities during this unusual time.
There are ways that each of us can thank and celebrate the work of our peers. In New York City, the mayor has promised a ticket-tape parade when the crisis comes to an end. While this may seem like something in the distant future, I hope to see them march down the Canyon of Heroes with the crowd chanting as loud as they did for Derek Jeter and Eli Manning! But until then, it’s going to be the little acts of kindness that show our appreciation.
Thank you can really go a long way, especially to our many essential workers that surround us. So please remember to say it the next time you see an essential worker. | <urn:uuid:c21679eb-218a-45e6-8b81-b80e6b6481ea> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://fairfieldcountymom.com/a-big-thank-you-to-our-extraordinary-essential-workers/ | 2024-04-25T07:07:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.977437 | 689 |

Alexis Jergenson is a former practicing attorney who specialized in rape cases. Burned out by the work and still trying to come to grips with her own past experiences with rape, she’s left Atlanta and moved to Tennessee for a teaching job at a Christian college. Technically, she shouldn’t have been offered the job; she’s not a believing Christian. But the college needed a teacher four weeks before the start of school, and she needed to get away.
Luke Stephens is a professor at the college. He is a believing Christian, but he’s still chasing the demons of his war experience and his former wife’s unfaithfulness. The new and attractive professor is exactly what he doesn’t want or need, especially because she looks so much like his former wife. He’s also dealing with what happened to him while he was on active duty – his best friend was killed in the same explosion that caused the loss of Luke’s leg.
Linda Rodante |
Alexis and Luke will be pulled together when a student is raped and becomes pregnant. The rapist is the mother’s boyfriend, and he is one despicable and dangerous character who will end up threatening the girl, her mother, and Alexis.
Looking for Justice is book four in the Dangerous Series Christian romantic suspense novels by Linda K. Rodante. The series currently includes seven books: Amber Alert, As Long as You Both Shall Live, Splashdown, Looking for Justice, Honor Respect Devotion, Pursued, and Warrior. Rodante has worked with both crisis pregnancy centers and anti-trafficking groups, and that experience infuses her fiction. She lives in Tennessee.
It’s a sweet story that could have slipped into the formulaic, but Rodante rather neatly avoids it. Instead, Looking for Justice offers a story of two people, both with broken lives, coming together to help a young girl, and finding themselves and each other. | <urn:uuid:afca5cbd-e59f-42d6-9963-ffd41a3113f8> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://faithfictionfriends.blogspot.com/2019/02/looking-for-justice-by-linda-rodante.html | 2024-04-25T07:28:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.979489 | 407 |
Anti-HPV jab close to being available for boys after evidence shows virus causes more cases of cancer in men than previously thought
- Campaigners call for NHS to vaccinate boys against the human papilloma virus
- Evidence shows it causes more cases of cancer in men than previously thought
- Until recently, health bosses argued vaccination ‘would not be cost effective’
Campaigners have called for the NHS to vaccinate boys against the deadly human papilloma virus (HPV) after health chiefs accepted new evidence that it causes many more cases of cancer in men than previously thought.
Until recently, health bosses had argued it was ‘overwhelmingly’ likely that vaccinating teenage boys against HPV ‘would not be cost effective’.
Their conclusions were based on a computer model that predicted vaccinating them would not prevent large numbers of cancers.
Campaigners have called for the NHS to vaccinate boys against the deadly human papilloma virus (HPV) after health chiefs accepted new evidence that it causes many more cases of cancer in men than previously thought
But they have now conceded their old calculations were based on flawed information, The Mail on Sunday has discovered.
Health bosses have acknowledged that HPV causes up to five times as many cancers of the mouth and throat in men as had been estimated – and that the number of HPV-related cancer cases is rising faster than had been appreciated too.
Campaigners say the U-turn makes it far more likely Ministers will soon take the decision to approve vaccination of boys – as this paper has been urging – and ending an apartheid arrangement under which girls are routinely vaccinated.

The move would protect about 400,000 boys every year from the virus.
Last night, well-placed sources told the MoS a new computer model based on the updated figures ‘demolished’ the old assumptions. One said: ‘The new figures massively strengthen the case for vaccinating boys. It’s inconceivable for the policy not to change.’
Until recently, health bosses had argued it was ‘overwhelmingly’ likely that vaccinating teenage boys against HPV ‘would not be cost effective’
The revelation follows a meeting of the Joint Committee on Vaccinations and Immunisations last week. Its experts provide recommendations to Ministers about which groups of people should receive particular vaccines on the NHS.
The JCVI only makes its decisions public six weeks after such meetings – but will already have sent its recommendation to Steve Brine, the Minister in charge of vaccinations.
Oncologist Professor Chris Nutting, a head and neck cancer specialist at the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, said he understood the JCVI had ‘re-evaluated’ data on the cost effectiveness of vaccinating boys and were ‘very close to recommending’ it goes ahead.
He added: ‘This would be a major step towards preventing around 2,000 male cancer cases a year caused by this virus. I urge the NHS to confirm that a vaccination program will now go ahead.’
Girls have been prioritised because more women suffer from HPV-related cancers than men. Yet HPV also kills around 650 men a year, mainly due to oral cancers.
Public Health England said the JCVI would be carrying out an independent peer review of evidence before concluding its advice.

Adding a 300-pound offensive lineman into the mix only makes it 10-times better. Why would anyone expect a dude that big to touch the ball or doing anything athletic?
Back in 2015, the Texas Tech Red Raiders were taking on the Kansas Jayhawks. TTU head coach Kliff Kingsbury had a quarterback named Patrick Mahomes at his disposal, but after a touchdown in the second quarter he decided it was time to get the ball to his 308-pound senior offensive lineman.
Texas Tech Lineman 2-Point Conversion
First of all, this formation is a wacky one. Similar to what is called the "swinging gate" formation that coaches like Chip Kelly have used, this one is designed with the same intention.
The center looks like he's going to snap the ball through his legs but instead throws it to his side like a rugby player (which is totally legal).
That's where 308-pound offensive lineman Le'Raven Clark is huddled behind his teammates. He took the snap, bolted for the end zone behind blockers, and dove across the goal line for the successful two-point conversion. Who says big men aren't swift on their feet?
Plays like this are why Kingsbury was billed an offensive mastermind and why he was promoted to the NFL to coach the Arizona Cardinals. Even Clark was selected in the NFL Draft and played for the Indianapolis Colts.
This play in particular made ESPN's SportsCenter Top 10 thanks to its creativity and, obviously, the fact that it worked. The Red Raiders went on to win, 30-20, and this trick play was definitely the most memorable moment from the game. | <urn:uuid:ffa8e55e-59a1-44c1-a4ad-e2a84ca29c09> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://fanbuzz.com/college-football/leraven-clark-two-point-conversion/?utm_medium=recirc-module&utm_campaign=recirc&itm_source=parsely-api&utm_source=recommended-poster | 2024-04-25T07:02:03Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.989328 | 334 |
Getting drafted into the NFL is every college player's dream, but for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who was the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, the salary isn't allowing him to live in a multi-million dollar mansion just yet. Instead, he has a roommate.
Appearing on the TODAY YouTube Channel, Purdy, an Iowa State alum, was asked, "What is the reality for Brock Purdy at home?"
"So I still have a roommate, one of the offensive lineman here. So he and I are splitting rent. I still drive, you know, my Toyota Sequoia. And other than that, it's pretty simple.
Known as Mr. Irrelevant, Purdy is in the midst of a four-year contract worth $3,737,008, per Spotrac.
This is certainly a healthy yearly salary at $870,000 this season, but living in the San Francisco area can add up quickly, so having a roommate and driving his "modest" Sequoia might be the best move until he gets his massive second contract.
It's not confirmed who his roommate is, but Purdy, 23, recently got engaged to his then-girlfriend and now-fiance Jenna Brandy in July.
Before they tie the knot and start living together, it appears the 49ers starting quarterback is saving his money.
Set to be a free agent in 2026, it's safe to assume we can expect Purdy to get a healthy second contract.
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, who's performing far worse than season than Purdy, is receiving $40 million per season. It's only a matter of time before Purdy gets his second deal that could be worth even more than that. With the way Purdy is performing and how much quarterbacks are making in the NFL right now, the 49ers quarterback could be expecting a potential nine-figure deal.
The 49ers are 4-0 this season and head into Sunday Night Football in Week 5 to take on the Dallas Cowboys. | <urn:uuid:0e55c5a0-f84b-4cfc-8a06-8b3a14387fd4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://fanbuzz.com/nfl/nfc-west/brock-purdy-roommate-49ers/?utm_medium=recirc-module&utm_campaign=recirc&utm_source=recommended-poster | 2024-04-25T08:20:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.98122 | 421 |

If you've ever caught a glimpse of a bobcat and thought, "I wish I could have a cat that looks like that," then you're in for a treat. There are several cat breeds that bear a striking resemblance to these majestic wild felines. From their sleek coats to their piercing eyes, these domestic companions might just fulfill your desire for a touch of the wild in your home. But which specific traits do these bobcat look-alike breeds possess? Let's explore further.

- Bengal cats showcase a leopard-like look akin to bobcats with their sleek build and leopard-like spots.
Revealing their striking resemblance to bobcats, Maine Coons captivate with their large size and tufted ears. These majestic felines aren't only one of the oldest natural breeds in North America but also the largest domestic cat breed. Maine Coons are known for their friendly and sociable nature, making them excellent companions for families and individuals alike.
Their thick, water-repellent fur and bushy tails are adaptations that harken back to their origins in the cold climates of the Northeastern United States. With tufted ears, lynx-like tips, and expressive eyes, Maine Coons exude a wild charm that echoes their bobcat-like appearance. Their playful and intelligent demeanor adds to their allure, as they enjoy interactive play and puzzle-solving.

I almost forgot I had these overalls until I recently discovered them boxed up in my summer gear! I had an amazing thought…overalls aren’t just for sunny summers. I could rock this bad boy in winter too! thus this outfit post! I was inspired to buy these from H&M after seeing
them all over the runway! its…true not everyone can pull these off but I for one will be keeping these on the rack year round!
strongly considering busting these out at New York Fashion Week in a similar manner with a leather jacket and biker gloves. Yes…it’s only January but I’m already thinking about Fashion Week.
I can’t help myself.

Why Do We Need Faith? | Joseph Ratzinger | From What It Means to Be a Christian.
Editor's note: In the original Preface to What It Means to Be a Christian, written in Münster on Easter 1965, Joseph Ratzinger wrote the following:
This little book presents in written form three sermons that the author preached in the Cathedral at Münster to a congregation from the Catholic Student Chaplaincy, December 13-15, 1964. The response to my efforts once again to raise the question of what being Christian means for us in today's world and to answer that question, in the spoken words of these sermons, has encouraged me to publish them. I have consciously avoided going beyond the linguistic and material limitations inherent in the whole of this on account of its origin; with just a few alterations, it bears the form it took at the given moment. It is my hope that what I have said, in a form that makes no literary claims, may help in its own way toward that renewal of faith and proclamation which we so much need in a world that has fundamentally changed.
Here is the chapter titled, "Why Do We Need Faith?"
Being a Christian means having love. That is unbelievably difficult and, at the same time, incredibly simple. Yet however difficult it may be in many respects, discovering this is still a profoundly liberating experience. You will probably say, however: Well and good, that is what Jesus' message is about, and that is very fine and comforting. But what have you theologians and priests made of it, what has the Church made of it? If love is enough, why do we have your dogma? Why do we have faith, which is forever competing with science? Is it not really true, then, what liberal scholars have said, that Christianity has been corrupted by the fact that, instead of talking with Christ about God the Father and being like brothers to each other, people have constructed a doctrine of Christ; by the fact that people, instead of leading others to mutual service, have invented an intolerant dogma; by the fact that instead of urging people to love, they have demanded belief and made being a Christian depend on a confession of faith?
There is no doubt that there is something terribly serious in this question, and like all really weighty questions, it cannot be dealt with just like that, with a well-turned phrase. At the same time, however, we cannot miss the fact that it also involves a simplification. To see this clearly, we need only realistically apply our reflections so far to our own lives. Being a Christian means having love; it means achieving the Copernican revolution in our existence, by which we cease to make ourselves the center of the universe, with everyone else revolving around us.
If we look at ourselves honestly and seriously, then there is not just something liberating in this marvelously simple message. There is also something most disturbing. For who among us can say he has never passed by anyone who was hungry or thirsty or who needed us in any way? Who among us can say that he truly, in all simplicity, carries out the service of being kind to others? Who among us would not have to admit that even in the acts of kindness he practices toward others, there is still an element of selfishness, something of self-satisfaction and looking back at ourselves? Who among us would not have to admit that he is more or less living in the pre-Copernican illusion and looking at other people, seeing them as real, only in their relationship to our own selves? Thus, the sublime and liberating message of love, as being the sole and sufficient content of Christianity, can also become something very demanding.
It is at this point that faith begins. For what faith basically means is just that this shortfall that we all have in our love is made up by the surplus of Jesus Christ's love, acting on our behalf. He simply tells us that God himself has poured out among us a superabundance of his love and has thus made good in advance all our deficiency. Ultimately, faith means nothing other than admitting that we have this kind of shortfall; it means opening our hand and accepting a gift. In its simplest and innermost form, faith is nothing but reaching that point in love at which we recognize that we, too, need to be given something. Faith is thus that stage in love which really distinguishes it as love; it consists in overcoming the complacency and self-satisfaction of the person who says, "I have done everything, I don't need any further help." It is only in "faith" like this that selfishness, the real opposite of love, comes to an end. To that extent, faith is already present in and with true loving; it simply represents that impulse in love which leads to its finding its true self: the openness of someone who does not insist on his own capabilities, but is aware of receiving something as a gift and of standing in need of it.
This faith is of course susceptible to many and varied developments and interpretations. We need only to become aware that the gesture of opening our hand, of being able to receive in all simplicity, through which love first attains its inner purity, is grasping at nothing unless there is someone who can fill our hands with the grace of forgiveness. And thus once again everything would have to end in idle waste, in meaninglessness, if the answer to this, namely, Christ, did not exist. Thus, true loving necessarily passes into the gesture of faith, and in that gesture lies a demand for the mystery of Christ, a reaching out toward it--and that mystery, when it unfolds, is a necessary development of that basic gesture; to reject it would be to reject both faith and love.
And yet, conversely, however true this may be--and however much christological and ecclesiastical faith is for that reason absolutely necessary--at the same time, it remains true that everything we encounter in dogma is, ultimately, just interpretation: interpretation of the one truly| sufficient and decisive fundamental reality of the love between God and men. And it remains true, consequently, that those people who are truly loving, who are as such also believers, may be called Christians.

“Burt’s Cheese’s Burt’s Blue cheese is made using pasteurised milk; the milk is inoculated with Penicillium Roqueforti (blue mould), which develops on the surface of the cheese. The ‘mouldy coat’ of each cheese can vary seasonally from darker ‘green and blues’ to paler ‘grey and blues’ (and its all edible – incase you were wondering!)
Each cheese is then pierced by hand during the ripening process to encourage and allow the growth of mild blue veins through the paste. These blotches and punctures of blue throughout give the cheese its character and flavour.
The younger cheese is more resistance to the touch and the flavours are more piquant and upfront, as the cheese matures, the flavours become more rounded and the resistance gives ways to a much softer texture.”

Our new cellar, built in wood and with bio-architecture techniques by local workers, has been imagined as a space of relationship between the countryside and man. A building procedure was implemented through the application of techniques and materials aimed at the environmental sustainability of the intervention. Solar energy is produced and rainwater is recovered with which the apple orchard in front of the cellar is irrigated. The architecture chooses a mimetic, excavated, earthy profile; solid wood and raw brushed iron prevail. A 'green-copper' canopy emerges from the terrace, reverberating inside the image of the large centuries-old Pinus pinea, featured in the company logo. Wine and wood in a marriage of archaic memories.
In the basement there is the production area, with fermenters and steel tanks connected to the temperature control systems. In a special space insulated and protected against the ground there is the barrique cellar , where the wine is aged before bottling. The various vintages of our products are kept in the wine-cellar area . The spaces on the ground floor, on the other hand, wind through a dynamic sequence and serve a series of functions: for welcoming customers , an integral part of the company's business, for services, for company management.
Our harvest is done by hand and in small quantities of crates, respecting the plants and the times , so as to collect the ripe bunches and practice the choice of grapes with particular regard to their health status. The objective of a wine production that focuses on quality is linked to the possibility of making wine starting from grapes in perfect conditions both for ripening and cleaning.
The processing begins with the crushing and destemming and then with the fermentation of the must, in steel fermenters kept at a controlled temperature using modern technologies. The first part of the maturation of the wine takes place, subsequently, in steel storage tanks while in the barrique cellar we proceed with the refinement and aging of the different vintages and qualities. Before reaching stabilization in the appropriate tanks and, therefore, bottling, the wine is subjected to constant checks and analyzes in order to guarantee the best and safest quality of the product. | <urn:uuid:cfa9cf0c-11b0-4164-8c94-65168d95e83b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://fiorentinovini.it/en/pages/cantina | 2024-04-25T07:34:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.950255 | 442 |
United States – In Florida, lawmakers suspended the bill, which would have slated the “unborn child” to protection, while others feared it would be used against in vitro fertilization (IVF) clinics like the one that sued the judge in Alabama this month.
Erin Grall, a Florida state senator, said in an emailed statement today that she had requested that her bill “be temporarily postponed at this time.”
“Although I have worked diligently to respond to questions and concerns, I understand there is still work that needs to be done,” Grall wrote. “It is important we get the policy right with an issue of this significance.”
Grall’s bill wasn’t expected to be brought up for consideration before the end of the current session of the Florida legislature on March 8.
Republicans nationwide are making efforts to prevent an outcome from a recent Alabama Supreme Court case. The decision allowed people to make a wrongful death claim for the death of minor children, including embryos, from a 2018-sanctioned Sanctity of Life Amendment approved by voters that supports “the sanctity of the life of unborn and the rights of unborn children.”
The decision taken by Alabama’s Supreme Court, whose nine judges are all Republicans, made some clinics treating IVF patients shut down, a move that infuriated patients and those who think it is another infringement on women’s reproductive rights, as reported by Reuters.
Court Decision Sparks Controversy
In 2022, the Supreme Court of the US overruled the 1973 Roe v. Wade judgment, which identified such a right to abort as a constitutional right.
This was a states’ rights issue, and legality within the borders of the states was left to state definitions of marriage. In turn, conservative states, similar to Alabama, have enforced a ban on abortion almost in totality.
Post the 2022 ruling, in the midterm elections, the Democrats were able to retain control of the US Senate and had merely minimal losses of seats in the US House.
Now, Democrats would like the abortion problem to be the leverage that would make President Biden be re-elected and would help them perform better in both the Senate and Congress.
Trump Weighs in on Alabama Situation
Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, on February 19, advised the Alabama House of Representatives to save fast assessment of the law that is now restricting access to IVF treatment in the state.
“I strongly support the availability of IVF for couples who are trying to have a precious baby,” the former president said in a post on Truth Social.
Advocacy Groups Mobilize Against Restrictions
Chief advocacy and policy officer Sean Tipton, for Reproductive Medicine, working against measures like Alabama’s restrictions, tracking the legislation, and representing the lobbyists, said in an email to the group that they have witnessed several bills of bans of pregnant persons in many states, as reported by Reuters.
“Given the profound backlash to the Alabama decision, I doubt there are many elected officials looking to be accused of stopping access to IVF,” Tipton wrote. | <urn:uuid:0fc92dad-2ef0-4ff0-8df7-c76df1ea2cb7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://firearmkart.com/news/florida-lawmakers-pause-unborn-child-protection-bill-amidst-concerns/ | 2024-04-25T06:51:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.972524 | 649 |

Slowing Down Seafood
By Chase Martin, Communications Project Manager
On a Saturday afternoon in a fish processing warehouse on the docks of San Francisco, I was confronted with a dream come true: 200 dozen fresh oysters, from all along the West Coast, and only a few dozen people to share them with. After an earlier Seafood Throwdown event, in which top chefs were pitted against each other to prepare their best black cod dishes, I was eager for more seafood. And I was more eager to see what other experiences the Slow Fish 2018 conference had in store.
From April 14-16, I zipped up to the Golden Gate City for the second Slow Fish conference. The weekend started with the Seafood Throwdown, which took place publicly in front of the popular Ferry Building, and allowed locals and visitors alike the chance to learn about American seafood, ask questions, and sample the chefs’ black cod dishes.
Consumer education and face-to-face interaction with actual fisherpeople is priceless for Slow Fish. A subdivision of the global Slow Food movement, Slow Fish focuses on shortening the links between fisherpeople and consumers, empowering communities through access to local seafood, and inspiring passion for sustainable, well-managed resources. Attended by fisherpeople from across the country, NGOs and industry working to help and restore American fishing economies and heritage, and interested consumers, the conference was a mixture of success stories, hot topics in fisheries, and obstacles still to be overcome. These were driven by the three tenets that the Slow Food movement revolves around: Good, Fair, and Clean.
These were manifested in the first full day’s “World Cafe” activity, with nine breakout sessions, each focused around one of the tenets. I chose Direct Marketing, Women in Fisheries, and Aquaculture.
In Direct Marketing, embodying the “Good,” we discussed how storytelling at the local and near-local levels can establish brand-identity and put a seafood on a solid track to success. Led by Hog Island Oyster Co. founder John Finger, we heard firsthand how an honest, well-marketed company can thrive and even overcome unforeseen hurdles, including an oyster recall due to waters polluted by campers. I then jumped over to Women in Fisheries–the “Fair” tenet–for the next cycle, which focused on inclusive communication when describing individuals who fish (notice I’m using fisherpeople!), and some of the darker realities for women working in such a male-dominated industry. It was hands down my favorite of all the sessions, and had me thinking back to the important work our Social Responsibility team does in a similar realm. Moving on, I finished up at the Aquaculture group, where the “Clean” tenet was evident in the speakers’ steady stance on aquaculture that is both rigorously sustainable and responsible.
Throughout the event, the talk of salmon was everywhere – understandable given the amount of folks who came down from the Pacific Northwest and Alaska – and the second day really drove home the reason why. Faced with a looming possible Bristol Bay mine development threatening the largest sockeye salmon fishery in the world and numerous other concerns, salmon fisherpeople are at the the forefront of the Slow Fish movement. They hope that by connecting consumers to the story behind the world’s arguably most popular superfood, they can garner support that leads to action and action that leads to success.
If there was one thing to take away from the Slow Fish 2018 conference, it’s that American fisherpeople are vehemently passionate about fish. And rightly so. Salmon, shrimp, oysters, and many more salty animals make up their livelihoods in many instances the communities they live in, and form the basis of one of the most important relationships to these hard-working folk: the connection they have with those who buy their catch.
The message from the fisherpeople was clear: take care of the fish and those whose livelihoods rely on them, and they’ll take care of us. | <urn:uuid:1346a884-e1a2-414b-a0bd-82f9f37f88f9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://fishwise.org/slowing-down-seafood/ | 2024-04-25T07:59:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.964273 | 827 |
It wasn’t momentum that Darren Clarke was riding, though on Sunday he won his second straight PGA Tour Champions start, the Mitsubishi Electric Championship at Hualalai on Hawaii’s Big Island.
Clarke, 52 and not, shall we way, in fighting trim, is one of the few senior players who uses a golf cart to ferry himself around the golf course.
Suffice it to say, he’s enjoying the ride. The affable Northern Irishman, the 36-hole co-leader, shot a final-round eight-under-par 64 to win the first senior event of 2021.
Clarke completed 54 holes in 21-under 195. Retief Goosen, who began the round two shots back, also shot a 64 and finished second. Jerry Kelly, the 36-hole co-leader, shot a 68 and finished third.
Momentum, meanwhile, can’t explain two in a row for Clarke, given that more than two months separated his second senior victory from his first, in the TimberTech Championship in November.
“I sort of broke through in Boca [TimberTech] and I sort of liked the feeling of that,” he said. “But down in Abaco [his home in the Bahamas] straight after. Went down there with my group of mates. We play all the time. I give them lots of shots and all that sort of stuff and just keeping me competitive. I worked and practiced nearly every day from the break.”
The outcome came down to virtual match play between Clark and Goosen, and Clarke prevailed by making six birdies on the back nine, including two straight, at the 16th and 17th, that delivered the margin of victory.
It is not a new season, only a new year. When the pandemic reduced the senior tour schedule to only 15 events in 2020, a decision was made to include 2021 tournaments in a wraparound season.
On that note, then, Clarke joined Jim Furyk and Phil Mickelson as the only players to have won back-to-back starts in 2020-21 season. | <urn:uuid:b316f3fd-0da7-48b6-854c-82c417e04aa7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://fitgolfeveryday.com/2021/01/24/darren-clarke-rolls-to-victory-in-his-second-straight-pga-tour-champions-start/ | 2024-04-25T06:54:09Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.974022 | 446 |

Just starting a gen2 faux drive with my son for a school project. Pretty experienced in foiling and building boards of all types for many years. 1st efoil type build so second guessing everything. As others have done I plan to update this post with progress.
We’re both over 6’/2m and 210lbs/99kg so going for get us on foil power.
Started with the battery as many posts suggest. Below is the BOM and plan. Suggestions and questions are welcome.
a. (36) Molicel 21700 P42A 4200mAh 45A Battery
b. Nickel 0.15x8mm
c. 10-17S Smart BMS
Get the battery built.
a. Layout: The cells will be 2cm high at a 45 degree offset and held in place with a 3D printed cage on both sides. (Dims and .stl to come)
b. Spot weld nickel as described in this video ( 3P + layout will cause some interesting choices, input welcome)
Wire up all the electronics and confirm it all works (Sounds simple)
a. Configure the remote
Waterproof and retest (Motor, ESC, Battery pack, , Remote (read screen can be an issue)
a. Design given waterproofed size of components
b. Build base out of carbon or have machined (tbd)
a. Plan to print (need to find stl for Axis 19mm)
a. Plan to print ideally a 3 blade folding
b. Vacuum carbon overlay on blades, because I heard that helps
Thank you for the input everyone! Have the cage for the battery layout of the 12s3p where height is minimized and going back and forth on the two obvious approaches for laying out the nickel strips and connecting the packs. Most everything we find on line is symmetrical. Will these options cause to much heat build up? Is there a better option that’s not being considered. I drew up the options and included a shot of some 21700 cells in the cage frame.
Thanks for the input I’ve updated the diagram
What spot welder do you have? I would go with option b but would do copper nickel sandwich. You can cut 0.1mm copper from a roll or sheet to the size you want. This will bring the resitance down and keep it even between the parallel packs.
Does this work for Axis? When I saw your file before, I thought it was designed for a slingshot mast. Or is the slingshot profile the same as the 19mm axis profile? I ride Axis so was excited to see this as your mount looks great but wanted to check. Thanks.
If you look through the specific stl files included on the page @hangloose linked you should see that there are a few versions of the mount including one for Axis. The page may come up in German and you can switch to English in the upper left corner if that helps
Looking for a BMS recommendation. Built the 12s3p battery, wired up the BMS and nothing… Voltage reads correct on all the pins etc…
Paying a bit of 1st timer tax with finding out what I didn’t know to was important and buying wrong stuff (Oh well).
Went with the common port smart BMS which is big when all I think I really want is a BMS for charging. Now for taking the 1st BMS off the pack and thinking about how to do it better the 2nd time.
Great battery build!
My personal OCD loves clean cables. So you did a good job there.
Regarding the BMS, I totally see your point why you would want to install one.
Here’s my 2 cents:
Companies like Foil Drive have to include BMS in their batteries cause their systems need to be idiot proof.
In our DIY builds you’re actually better off not using a BMS but using a balance charger when charging your pack. You’re gonna take good care of your battery anyway.
The advantage is that you don’t have to include a huge bulky BMS in such a small battery as yours.
I’ve build several huge efoil batteries where I have included a 200A smart BMS just to have peace of mind.
The BMS is oversized but I have enough space in the battery box.
For my Faux drive (12S2P/ 12S3P & 12S6P) I’m not using a BMS.
TY! Appreciate the insight from experience. Trying to catch on here and under the assumption that if the have to have the (12-13) pack wires connectable via some sort of waterproof membrane/connector to charge correct? Not sure I’ve seen one of these yet I wonder if I’m thinking about this the right way ? idiot proof idea was as you said to have a small BMS for charging… no BMS does sound good… as long as I can get the pack charged, balanced, etc…
In case you’re planning to build a housing for your system that is harder to service, and/or you plan to leave your battery in the housing to charge it, a simple solution would be to use a waterproof balancer port.
Use the search function and you will find many successful battery builds like this one by @Flightjunkie | <urn:uuid:e310a317-6933-4d84-80b0-2f0befb5b4cc> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://foil.zone/t/gen2-faux-drive/20205 | 2024-04-25T08:42:05Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.944319 | 1,136 |
Finding balance and an interdisciplinary approach to agri-food sustainability. These were two key messages that resonated across two and a half days of talks, research displays and presentations, panels, and discussions during the inaugural Agri-Food Excellence Symposium at the University of Guelph. The event culminated with a talk from 2018 World Food Prize Winner, David Nabarro.
Food from Thought and the Arrell Food Institute partnered to deliver the event, which was situated in the heart of Ontario’s food and innovation corridor at Canada’s Food University. The Symposium convened more than 150 Canadian and international thought leaders and industry representatives for collaborative talks, discussions, and research dissemination.
Moving Conversations Forward
Speakers at the event included world-renowned scientists, industry leaders and policymakers from Canada and around the world. These included representatives from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency, University of Saskatchewan, Maple Leaf Foods, Community Food Centres Canada, ALUS Canada, IBM Canada, and of course, right here at the University of Guelph, among other respected industry and international research institutions.
University of Guelph Innovation
Nearly 30 University of Guelph speakers supported plenary panels and concurrent sessions at the Symposium. Speakers spanned food systems expertise from landscape to micro scales, sustainability in farm management practices, resiliency in our systems and our communities, and more.
Internationally Renowned Keynotes
Three global leaders in agri-food provided thought-provoking keynotes during the Symposium:
Dr. Alison Van Eenennaam, Cooperative Extension Specialist in the field of Animal Genomics and Biotechnology in the Department of Animal Science at University of California, Davis.
Professor Tim Benton, Dean of Strategic Research Initiatives at the University of Leeds and Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Energy, Environment and Resources Department at the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House, UK.
Dr. David Nabarro, Professor of Global Health at the Imperial College London and supports systems leadership for sustainable development through his Switzerland-based social enterprise 4SD.

We’ve all seen the graphic replays of some of the worst career ending tackles in the history of football.
We’ve all watched as numerous professional footballers take on the nickname of ‘Sicknote’ and watch their once dazzling careers fade into a plight of injury woes.
Then there are countless examples of the potential footballing legends whose careers were ended before they had even signed a contract: your dad’s best mate from school who was as good as George Best, uncle Dave’s wife’s ex-boyfriend who could bend it like Beckham, that guy on your street who had trials for Fulham and Manchester City.
When a professional footballer has their career cut short from an unexpected injury or mishap they are usually covered against loss of earnings and damages incurred but what happens to the grassroots stars who break their leg in a Sunday league game? Not only can these players miss out on future earnings of millions as a top flight footballer but they have the immediate problem of not being able to go to work or look for jobs.
Whatever your status in the footballing world, sustaining an injury whilst participating in a team sport can end in serious financial losses at any level. Not many people are aware of it but even at grassroots level players, clubs, trainers and managers can insure themselves against loss of earnings or unexpected expenses resulting from their involvement in football.
In 2012 the FA investigated insurance at grassroots level and found that the majority of players were unaware of their insurance position when they stepped out onto the pitch. So it was decided that a new minimum standard needed to be introduced. The National Game Insurance Scheme was introduced to improve upon lack of guidelines and to raise the standard of cover available. The FA also ruled that it should be mandatory for all adult 11-a-side grassroots players to have personal accident insurance. This not only insured that all players would be protected but it was also put in place to reduce litigation within the game as a whole.
The FA looked to companies like Bluefin Sport – who were awarded a Football Business Award for ‘Best Professional Service Business Serving Football’ in 2013 – to deliver the National Game Insurance Scheme across the UK, and to specifically design .
The cover was intended to pay out against expenses and risks that grassroots sportsmen and women had never thought of such as: loss of earnings, time off work, hidden hospital costs, medical aids, special equipment, home assistance and travel to and from the hospital (including hospital parking fees).
Since their appointment as an approved insurance broker to deliver the National Game Insurance Scheme throughout the country, companies like Bluefin now provide insurance policies to tens of thousands of grassroots football players, clubs and match officials in the UK, leaving everyone with enough peace of mind to get back to focusing on the beautiful game. | <urn:uuid:6066d431-153b-49f5-baae-c05c95de7a9b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://footballfriendsonline.com/2014/06/27/football-insurance-at-grassroots-level/ | 2024-04-25T08:49:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.98219 | 571 |

Just because your careful, reasoned look at the future makes a decision or conclusion clear to you, doesn’t mean everyone else will “get” your reasoning. When you have grasped how things are changing, and decided what should be done that is new and different, you still have to explain your thinking to others.
It’s hard to make change without doing that, and there are some good ways of understanding what kinds of explanations might work.
Charles Tilly’s Why? (2006) explains how we explain things, and is a good framing for people trying to get others to understand the basis for conclusions and decisions about the future.
Tilly describes four ways we answer the question Why? Let me use a story from my family to show what each one is about.
A couple of years ago, we decided to dismantle a wooden swing set in our backyard to make room for an addition to the house. At the time, one of our boys was about 7 years old, and he was the key stakeholder in this decision. He was the one who would ask Why?
As I used a crowbar to dismantle the swing set, while my son was out for the day, I tried out Tilly’s four kinds of explanations in my mind. Here they are with my thinking ab out what I would tell my son:
- Conventions–Connect the decision to common practice, what others are doing, the social, business, societal norms. In my case I framed it as: “You’re a big boy now, big boys don’t play on swing sets”
- Stories—Use a story to explain the situation, put the decision in a context familiar to the ones you are explaining it to. My approach: “Remember how we’ve been talking about building a climbing wall up to the tree house?”
- Codes—Frame the decision as essential to legal requirements, social norms, rules, etc. My framing: “If this were a public park, the swing set would not meet safety requirements, and we’d be told to take it down”
- Technical accounts—Explain the decision technically, with the technical details making the case for a change. My technical explanation: “The pressure treated wood has gotten splintered and rotted, and isn’t safe anymore”
In my work with Jennifer Jarratt, we’ve increasingly recognized the value and power of stories. This certainly carries over to explaining the reasoning behind changes that are often scary for people. But stories are not the only thing to reach for. Of the four kinds of explanations, your situation may dictate what you use and perhaps what combination you use. On my decision, I used the story approach, using it to show my son the promise of something better.
It’s critical to remember your audiences when you explore how best to explain things. What we’ve found over 20+ years helping people explore the future is that we often start our efforts with a technical group, one that’s happy and comfortable in having technical explanations for things. The problem arises when they see their stakeholders and ultimately the public as most easily swayed by a technical explanation. For a young boy, at least, the technical explanation would have failed, led to tears, in fact.
Of the four, I am tempted to say that conventions is the weakest, but we have to remember that lots of people, even lots of business executives, have times when they want to follow the norms, and not take big risks or strike out on their own. Conventions may be quite compelling to them. For a 7-year-old, saying “you are a big boy now” rings hollow. He felt like a little boy, and couldn’t imagine life without his swing set.
Codes are important too, because they tend to be fixed requirements. You are not usually in position to change them. But they are not sufficient explanations to really energize people to get them on board for doing something new. Our son didn’t, of course, care about codes, about the law, and so on. He just wanted to have a place to play.
In the end we built a great climbing wall up to the tree house. The decision made sense to the critical stakeholder. The future didn’t look scary or arbitrary. | <urn:uuid:dd8cb497-c3c0-4179-ab30-08d3fbad26a9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://foresightculture.com/2008/09/02/thoughts-on-why | 2024-04-25T06:56:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.965832 | 909 |

It’s a tremendous understatement to say that I love Plucker’s wing sauces. I’ve tried many of their bottled sauces and they are all absolutely fantastic. I devoured my last bottle of medium Buffalo sauce, so I had to resort to making a copycat Plucker’s medium Buffalo wings sauce. Oh, and all was right in the world again! The perfect amount of heat, just enough to wake me up but not so much to make me cry. Wonderful traditional wing flavor. These are the wings that are destined to disappear in no time.
I cut the recipe down so I could enjoy a small batch of copycat Plucker’s medium Buffalo wings for my lunch. No point in heating up my huge restaurant-style deep fryer for just a handful of wings. So, I used my Fry Daddy fryer instead. This little fryer gets a workout in my house. It’s the perfect size for a small batch of wings.
I usually reach for the Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce when I make anything Buffalo-style. And sometimes I’ll go for Crystal Hot Sauce, which has a wonderful Louisiana-inspired flavor. You want a traditional cayenne sauce, and not something flavored like a habanero mango hot sauce!
Check out my always-growing list of over 100 homemade wing recipes, including sauces and seasonings!
Copycat Plucker’s Medium Buffalo Wings
For the sauce
- Place the hot sauce, vinegar, butter, jalapenos and pepper in a sauce pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter melts, whisk the ingredients together until the sauce comes together.
- Reduce heat and keep warm until ready to use.
For the wings
- Heat 3" of oil to 350 F in a deep fryer or Dutch oven.
- Working in batches if necessary, fry the wings 8-10 minutes or until they reach 165 F. Remove to a wire rack over a baking sheet or paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Transfer wings to a large bowl. Drizzle with the sauce and toss gently to coat.
Nutritional values are approximate and will not include any store-bought wing sauce or seasoning nutritional values. | <urn:uuid:3853de17-7f44-459a-baf1-1f24604f2ef9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forthewing.com/copycat-pluckers-medium-buffalo-wings/ | 2024-04-25T08:01:25Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.900588 | 494 |
I am a week to two from entering 12/12 and I am seeing a handful of preflowers, and only one plant is showing extremely pronounced little pods at this point - an obvious male. Should I remove it immediately or wait until I enter 12/12 or even a week or more into it. I simply want it to grow as many young leaves as possible before I perform triage and have a smoke. *
I assume you know you can't smoke males. But beyond that, unless you're collecting pollen, and you are SURE it's male, get rid of that thing.
you can, they just have nowhere near the amount of thc that a female produces I'd make tea out of the male.. mmm tasty... or if your not down for killing it, go plant it somewhere in a forest or something.
first off you can smoke males, there just like mids. But what i do with my males is make hash with them. u can remove it now or later doesnt really matter, just the longer u wait the more chance it will pollinate ur girls, u shuold be able to tell when that is because the balls will look like there about to burst | <urn:uuid:476dd308-66b5-4f2e-99b3-adf2156efd14> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forum.grasscity.com/threads/male-preflower-showing-how-long-until-i-have-to-get-rid-of-it.606004/ | 2024-04-25T07:36:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.973498 | 244 |
Much the same way you can apply a firewall rule, directly to a SSID. Add a “content policy” rule that could be directly applied.
This would be for the Balance-20, but should apply to all peplink devices.
Perhaps you can clarify your objective and how you’d like to Peplink to accomplish this? Are you talking about deep packet inspection where each and every packet in/outbound would be examined? Or, maybe something like this (example from a customer’s Balance 310X):
In this situation the customer is concerned about Facebook, malware, spyware, etc, but does not wish to interfere with activities considered “legitimate.”
These rules can be applied to none or all “groups” and these groups can be made to be essentially synonymous with SSIDs. In this case, they are applied to all because none are exempted:
I’m not trying to make an argument for/against your suggestion. I write this to ask for a clarification of your objective(s) and to point out that Peplink routers include some rather powerful features “out of the box.” (What you see in the GUI of your Balance 20 will be slightly different than my examples.)
Sure, I am most concerned with children accessing things they should not, so porn drugs and etc. The screenshot you provided, we don’t have those custom options, (that would be handy for sure. I am running the latest firmware, but not seeing it)
We would use the preset category, and your content filtering database auto updates.
I would also maybe use some customized domains, but ideally along how the application area lets you pre-select things like “Facebook, tik-tok” that would be my first area to select from. Or perhaps something like “Social Sites” and you guys maintain an auto update list.
I understand how to apply the e all groups, I have a post in the other form about this and someone walked me thru it. I did get it to work, but having just 3 groups was a little bit annoying. Our setup required the “Staff” group to be assigned to the Wifi, leaving guests (which include wired IOT devices) to be left exempt.
I would much more like to do something like have a group that would be auto created each time you build a new SSID… in that way, it could auto link to the SSID and you wouldn’t have to do all the manual exemptions and such.
It would also be good if it wasn’t just “Exempt” from all rules, and more like “exempt from selected rules” so that different group levels could have different web blocking and such settings.
Basically, I know there are 3rd party devices out there (Circle) being more well known that would do what I am asking.
But that’s yet another device to get up and running and deal with. The Balance routers are targeted to small biz, yet a lot of folks are seeing these for home use now. So thinking more along the lines of “protection” instead of connectivity (you guys have that nailed) will serve Peplink well in the future.
The real hardcore integration of something that can do protection for children will be a major selling point I feel in years to come. Being able to easily configure this is a great selling point for small biz who might create guest networks and such for there patrons.
OK. Thank your for your clarification. (I did not see your other thread or a link to it.) I’ll leave it to the nice folks at Peplink to consider your request but I’ll note that as one “goes up” in the Peplink product line the features get more and more “powerful” which is why your GUI (and features/capabilities shown) may look a bit different than my illustration. Some of the most important features can be seen here. I was not able to “see what you see” as I don’t think any of our customers have Balance 20s any longer.

FusionHub (FH) software license is controlled online from InControl2 root servers.
If FusionHub is installed on a private network that is completely isolated from the Internet, the FH license won’t work.
There are two main requirements to operate FH:
An Outbound Internet connection to access public IC2 servers via UDP port 5246 with a return path on the same port as illustrated in the picture below.
NOTE. If these requirements cannot be implemented due to various reasons such as in government or military networks, please contact your Peplink account manager for a customized solution. | <urn:uuid:9325c541-61dd-4334-90d6-bff6a024bf55> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forum.peplink.com/t/privately-hosted-fusionhub-licensing-requirements/36159 | 2024-04-25T09:07:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.924296 | 123 |
I have noticed that my appliance warranty had expired.
the initial purchase was with Smartcare, 3 Year Plan.
Since that is expired, I was looking at my options to go with TotalCare, PrimeCare & Smart Care.
& Can I buy them online
I need a suggestion as my appliances are expired would like to renew them at the earliest.
All relevant comments are welcome.
Totalcare is/was only available in north america - it adds telephone support and advanced replacement tothe standard warranty and I think IC2 subscription.
Like Totalcare Smartcare allows for defective device replacement - this is advanced replacement if a device is Dead On Arrival otherwise return to base. It also includes IC2 subscription.
Primecare is brand new and includes IC2 subscription, enhanced fusionhub licensing and hardware warranty but is only available on specific PrimeCare devices (Just the Transit Mini and MAX Transit currently).
you can see what is available for your device by looking at peplink’s online store at peplink.com
The faster ways to work on this is to contact Peplink local partner base on your country and they should able to advice you the best method to work on this. | <urn:uuid:a13da5c9-ea87-4a6c-95e4-76f1d28916f9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forum.peplink.com/t/support-renewal/23629 | 2024-04-25T07:37:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.949584 | 247 |

+Daniel, Oh I'm really sorry, you are right we can only talk to IQ Connect device at the moment and I'm really skeptical we could ever support the vivosmart devices. The main problem is we need an app on the device to make this working to be able to do custom aggregations on the sensor. If let say some device would be providing raw accelerometric data over BT, the battery would be empty in no time…this is why we need to collect raw frequent data on the device, highly aggregate them and than send them to the app in long time interval…
From Daniel on 2017/03/14 04:31:17 +0000
Awesome you guys are starting to work with Garmin. I just wanted to point out that the Vivosmart HR and HR+ are not part of the Connect IQ apps devices so we cannot use the app there. Is there any chance you could develop a work around this for us?
Thanks in advance.

I second the integration with vivosmart HR.
Garmin does allow API for their garmin connect which works across all garmin smart products

I posted a question earlier about my Radeon DDR, and part of the solution was to change the AGP driving value in the BIOS to 68. Why 68? Is there any reason behind it? Or did someone just sit there and try every value until they found one that worked? Will it hurt things if I try a different setting? Thanks for the info guys.
Hey, did the value of 68 get you to do 4X AGP? If so msg back. Basically what I have been reading is that AGP value is a trial and error thing. May AIW Radeon can only do 2X AGP with the defualt AGP driving value. I will try 68 later. | <urn:uuid:f45f686f-1841-4e1a-b546-264be79f3c4c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/agp-driving-value-how-do-you-determine-the-best-setting.428484/ | 2024-04-25T06:53:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.972033 | 140 |
I will be buying a GTX 780 this week. I want an excellent brand that has quiet cooling fans and will fit in my computer case. The computer case have is the Corsair Carbide 400r. Please recommend a GTX 780?
There are no graphics cards that don't fit inside the 400R, so that's irrelevant.
Excellent brand? I'd go for EVGA. The ACX cooler is fairly quiet, not the best but it's decent enough. Either go for the ACX SC or ACX FTW, the SC will probably be cheaper by enough of a margin that the FTW isn't worth it but, you didn't mention where you're buying from so I can't check for you.
MSI, Asus, and Gigabyte are fine choices too, all offering 3 year warranty. Avoid Zotac which only offers 2 years. Asus don't seem to overclock that well based on what I've seen and they lack cooling on the VRMs (someone prove me wrong), I'd probably pick Gigabyte (Rev 2.0) if EVGA wasn't available or as good of a deal.
I ended up getting an MSI and the fans are super quiet, now only my HDD is louder but that's been solved by switching to a WD Red drive. B&H Photo was awesome enough to let me return my EVGA with no restocking fee so I ended up picking the MSI after reading reviews of how quiet the TwinFrozr fans are. | <urn:uuid:536e9d9f-6d3a-40b5-b9f1-7903f2f3cdb2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/please-recommend-a-gtx-780-with-quiet-cooling-fans.2381470/ | 2024-04-25T08:09:46Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.978912 | 302 |

On top of this, I feel horrible for the families of the troops over there. The sentiments they've expressed are no surprise to me, they're absolutely glued to their TVs. They don't want to be, but could you peel yourself away from it, knowing what it's broadcasting? It's making their lives even more miserable and paranoia-filled than they already are.
I just don't see what is accomplished by having them there, and i see a lot of negatives... | <urn:uuid:8238e27b-eeb2-4ffc-9262-2f0c18d79692> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/the-television-war-journalists-in-the-middle-east.1032708/ | 2024-04-25T08:28:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.98859 | 103 |
Washington DC Reagan National has an amazing takeoff, too. Quite a view of the city if you're on the right side:
I also like JFK's landing around mid-to-late afternoon. Fantastic views of Lower Manhattan and of Jamaica Bay & Long Island.

I have a Linksys 4-port router model BEFSR41 connected to two computers and sharing an aDSL connection. Let's say someone tries to find out my IP address. Because the router uses NAT, will they only see the local "192.168.xxx.xxx" addresses? I mean.. if I go to a website that can check my IP, it shows my actual IP that my ISP gives me. So, wouldn't someone else be able to see it to?
So if it is possible for someone to look up my IP on one of my computers.. and then checks the other computer on the LAN.. will it be the same? | <urn:uuid:5da97b09-2d8f-410b-ae68-a99164f1e8ed> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/what-are-my-ip-addys-with-router.733423/ | 2024-04-25T07:58:21Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.931252 | 135 |
Obviously the mobile landscape changes very quickly and what looks good today might not look that good in a year's time, but what OS/platform/ecosystem do you think your phone will run or be this time next year?
Probably the same thing I'm using right now, since my phone was only released a few months ago, and I signed a 2-year contract.
In two years? All bets are off. Windows Phone and BlackBerry OS might actually be mature by then. I could see myself on any of iOS (where I was last year), Android (where I am now), BlackBerry (which has my favourite phone specs), and Windows Phone (OK maybe not ).
I'm on android for the last few years and it has matured nicely. iOS is basically the same so I see no use in using it. Windows is interesting and I am looking forward to getting one when my job provided iPhone 5 is up for renewal I may look into it.
WP8 most likely. Been using an HTC Trophy on VZW for 2 years (WP7.5) and absolutely love the OS. The camera on it is terrible (and no ffc), no gyro, nfc, etc, but otherwise I have no problems with the phone or ecosystem.
Hopefully VZW gets something equivalent to the Lumia 920 this year (I want that camera), and if so, I will be on WP8.
I completely agree there. After I try the 822, it'll either sell me on WP8 or turn me off altogether. The Pre was a phone that sold me on that operating system. The problem with that phone was it came out so very late to the carriers which ended up not having the best of specs. BB10 reminds me of WebOS so very much, but combines fantastic elements from the other players (iOS, Android, WP). I would just love to play with a device.
Anyway, my next phone will more than likely be Android with Key Lime Pie and in the mix will be several devices. It's probable I'll be toying with whatever new WP8 devices that come my way. Until Apple gives iOS an overhaul, I don't want to use it. It honestly feels like the same exact OS since it was released. I had the first 2 gens of iPod Touches so I can recall how stale that OS got, and it does the same for me to this day.
So in order:
iOS (unless revamped, then put it where BB10 is)
Android or possibly Ubuntu depending on how that progresses as there's no way I'm going to a more restrictive system. WP8 seems to have a lot of potential if you buy into the MS ecosystem, but after seeing the other engineers at my work get them and bitch left and right about all of the features they lost compared to Android it'll be a while before that's even a consideration.
Android, because of contract, but when the contract is up, it will be which ever phone I find to be the best regardless of OS. This time around, I felt the gs3 was the best phone out at the time(for me). | <urn:uuid:aad24d28-3e6a-4dad-abca-6939e7031b57> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/which-smartphone-os-do-you-think-you-will-be-using-in-a-year.2300117/ | 2024-04-25T08:02:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.968799 | 644 |

By MILAN SIMONICH
What do you get when you mix computer geeks and professional wrestling freaks?
Two rich teen-agers.
High school students Brandon and Justin Fritz are grossing $9,000 a month with their Web site on the weird world of pro wrestling.
The brothers offer an orgy of wrestling results, reports and rumors, plus interactive polls and chat rooms at http://www.wrestlepages.com. Ever conscious of wrestling?s testosterone-charged fans, they serve up hundreds of photos of taut and tanned female valets.
Brandon, 17, and Justin, 16, make their money through a contract with IGN.com, a San Francisco cyberspace conglomerate that liked the boys? site so much it bought the rights to place its high-dollar advertisers on the pages.
?Only the elite sites are affiliated with it,? Brandon said, not a trace of wrestling braggadocio in his voice.
So along with the latest innuendo about Stone Cold Steve Austin?s injured neck and rattlesnake disposition, the brothers? computer site pitches Gatorade, PlayStation video games and movies geared to youthful audiences, such as the cheerleader melodrama ?Bring It On.?
IGN.com offered the Fritz brothers a two-year contract in March. The deal has brought the boys a steady $9,000 a month because their site has attracted more than 3 million ?impressions? ? Web slang for views of individual computer pages.
Now the Fritz brothers are so big that they?ve become a corporation under the name Dreamscope Technologies.
With the help of their parents, they also have hired an accountant, a tax attorney and a financial adviser. All those services are necessary, for their income from the wrestling site will exceed $100,000 a year.
That?s considerably more than their parents make. All of this free-flowing, dot.com cash has come as a shock to their mother, Elaine Meyer.
?I always thought when Brandon got a job, he would be a stock boy in a grocery store,? she said.
Now 42, she raised her sons alone for 13 years after a divorce that left her reeling and temporarily on welfare. Meyer went back to school and now makes her living by doing ultrasound tests on medical patients.
She remarried three years ago, and her husband, Tom, has assumed the role of the boys? dad. They have no relationship with their biological father.
These days, the moneymaking exploits of the Fritz brothers are legendary at Bethel Park High School.
?I hear you?re doing pretty well. How about cutting me in on it?? Principal Thomas Hisiro joked to Brandon.
?Everybody,? Brandon replied softly, ?says that.?
Brandon is a senior who loves wrestling. He?s a 125-pounder for the Bethel Park Black Hawks varsity. Along with genuine competition, he has followed the unreal story of professional wrestling since he was a small boy.
That same passion for professional wrestling infected younger brother Justin.
Meyer, a patient woman, indulged her sons? interest in wrestling. Her boys are quiet, respectful, active and make all A?s and B?s on their report cards.
She considered wrestling a phase that wouldn?t hurt. Never did she think it would become a cash cow for an average family in the suburbs.
?As a mother, I don?t always agree with everything on their site,? she said, meaning in particular the wrestling ?babes? her sons feature. These scantily clad women are now as much a part of wrestling as a platinum blonde doing a shrill interview.
Mixed in with the photos are the Fritz brothers? reports from their wrestling contacts, along with rehashes from newsletters, cable and pay-per-view broadcasts.
They work several hours a week to keep their site up to date.
It?s been widely copied on the Web.
Justin said that?s because it?s easy to navigate and has a wealth of material for fans.
The brothers work as a team, so they see no problem in continuing their Internet business after Brandon heads off to college next year. He plans to attend Duquesne University in Pittsburgh to study marketing and multimedia communications.
He?s made so much money this year that the prospect of need-based financial aid is gone.
Justin has two more years of high school to make his plans.
By then, he hopes to have a hammer lock on the same kind of deal his big brother got: Brandon?s allowance now hits $600 a month.
Believe it or not, these guys make more money than actual WRESTLERS working in the small federations... | <urn:uuid:c3113972-41aa-4278-9488-f3219c659fc4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forums.anandtech.com/threads/wrestling-pays-off-in-a-big-way.362903/ | 2024-04-25T07:11:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.963882 | 997 |
I updated arnold to Htoa 188.8.131.52 to take advantage of the light linking now supported in Arnold GPU. This meant i Had to also change houdini build from 18.0.566 to 18.0.597. Unfortunately GPU rendering has stopped working altogether. Scenes that were working fine now just present a solid grey render buffer in the render view. I looked at the console and it says WARNING [htoa node] [soho] Parameter not found: radius (ar_radius)
Can you increase the Arnold log verbosity to Detailed, and post that log?
I don't think that WARNING would explain a solid grey render buffer.
Hi @Stephen Blair, Exactly! it just makes a solid grey render buffer - the 'Generating Image' kind you'd get whilst waiting for first pixel and then stops.
CPU works fine - it's been a lifeline. It's not like the scene is huge either - literally one asset (750k polys) one set of maps and one shader with some very basic shadow/phantom geometry.....that's it. I'm also running an RTX 3090 which should be overkill for a project like this.
The only thing I can think to do is totally uninstalling all aspects of houdini/Arnold when the project is over and starting again.
ignore textures does nothing, same with ignore lights,bump,shaders etc.... | <urn:uuid:d8e3b7db-ecb2-4c94-bc4a-7522972f9ad7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/arnold-for-houdini-forum/arnold-gpu-just-creates-a-grey-frame-with-arnold-6-1-0-1/td-p/11042092 | 2024-04-25T08:05:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.945594 | 301 |
I've been using AutoCAD to create 3D models for many years for design visualization and I am yet to encounter a form that I can't create within that program. However, now I am extending my skills into manufacturing and am aware that Fusion360 is a better tool for that purpose. I don't want to go down the path of modelling in AutoCAD and then importing into Fusion360 as that wouldn't make the best use of Fusion's features particularly parametrics.
Although the workflows and modelling concepts are pretty much the same in both programs (2d sketches->3d forms->boolean operations->Mesh) I am really struggling to adapt to Fusion360's way of doing things. has anyone else made that migration and can offer some "big picture" concepts for me to understand? Are there any particular resources I can refer to?
Solved! Go to Solution.
In the links below some tutorials for learning Fusion 360.
I'm an AutoCAD user 20 years ago 🙈
After that, I switched over to Inventor and had the same situation as you have now.
Sinds the start of Fusion 360 I made slidely my switch to Fusion 360.
Hope the tutorials help you understand how to use Fusion 360.
If specific things are not clear on how to use, you can better write those down so one of us can help you.

Could the BIM360 description be added to the Revit BIM360 UI?
we work with many files that use a document control number for the file name, but then a description of the actual file information. That being said, it is difficult learning document control codes to know what file needs to be opened and or linked. I noticed someone post the same idea for Civil 3D (HERE) so I'm guessing this would benefit all platforms. | <urn:uuid:b3c8c8ff-22b4-483d-9a42-6afa83b79cb7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-ideas/could-the-bim360-description-be-added-to-the-revit-bim360-ui/idi-p/11390820 | 2024-04-25T08:10:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712297290384.96/warc/CC-MAIN-20240425063334-20240425093334-00668.warc.gz | en | 0.926204 | 204 |
