Pvt., 11th Illinois Cavalry
John Harwood Pierce (1848-1925) was a man who led many separate lives. He started life as the child of New England Christian missionary pioneers on the edge of Indian Territory in the Canadian frontier. He ran away from home when he was 11 years old and became a migratory farm laborer in Illinois. At age 14 he enlisted in the 11th Illinois Volunteer Cavalry to fight in the Civil War. He was discharged December 3, 1864, but reenlisted in the U.S. Veterans Volunteer Infantry and served until June 25, 1865.
After the war, John became a teacher of freed slaves in the southern states. Next, he moved to the western frontier of Nebraska and South Dakota where he became a ranch hand. Using those skills along with those he learned during the war he became an Indian scout fighting against the Sioux in the Black Hills of North Dakota. Next, he used his strong skills at writing and his experience with the Black Hills Indians to launch a successful career as a journalist for the Omaha Bee writing about historical and cultural events of the period.
His next venture was as the publisher and owner of a literary magazine. He sold that magazine a few years later and moved to the New England area where he tried his skill at inventing. Eventually he moved to New York City where he captured the interest and financial backing of celebrity international investors for a grand trans-Atlantic pneumatic tube people-moving contraption. Even his old friend, Wild Bill Hickok, telegrammed him from a show in Paris to congratulate him on his invention. But, he lost all his money on that invention and for the next decade made his living as a minister. At the end of his life he made money on the lecture circuit as a traveling showman recounting his life to fascinated audiences.
This bright, flamboyant man with a self-destructive restlessness loved beautiful women and they loved him. But he was unable to stay committed to any single woman. During his life, he married many women and he also lived with many women in situations where neighbors believed the two were married. His first wife died following childbirth; two women divorced him on grounds of adultery; the last one refused to grant him a divorce, so John became a bigamist when he found a pretty young woman who was willing to marry him and did not know he was still married. That woman was my grandmother, Johanna Dorathea Schoofs. She was a 27-year-old devout Catholic who had once studied to be a nun. John was 62 years old. There is no doubt that John H. Pierce was a man of flawed moral character. We are taught to love and respect our ancestors—hate the sin, but love the sinner. I think of these bits of wisdom when I think of my grandfather.
John Harwood Pierce is buried in the Civil War soldier section of Los Angeles National Cemetery in West Los Angeles. | <urn:uuid:898c197c-04b5-4328-884f-ddf05361177f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://corneliahancockduvcw.org/honor-roll/john-harwood-pierce/ | 2024-04-13T22:38:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.988611 | 607 |

A Medicaid application is generally begun by a call to the local Medicaid Office.
Generally, information about the Medicaid applicant is taken, and a case is opened by the Medicaid staff.
They may ask some preliminary questions to be sure that the applicant is likely eligible for Medicaid. These will be very basic questions, like the level of assistance the applicant needs, and what the person’s assets and income are, in a very general sense.
Once a case is opened up, a meeting (often by telephone) to fill out a more detailed application will be scheduled.
There is an application for benefits in Oregon that is over 50 pages long.
This can be long and confusing.
It also can be absolutely followed by some Medicaid case workers, and virtually ignored by other case workers.
It can also take weeks or even more than a month for Medicaid to process the initial application, and for a denial to be issued if the person is not yet ready for Medicaid.
Having a lawyer who understands Medicaid and the Medicaid application process can be very helpful.
Such a lawyer can help you to understand whether your loved one likely qualifies for Medicaid now, what steps need to be taken in order for the person to qualify for Medicaid if they are not currently qualified, and how to save assets from Medicaid spend down to the extent that this is possible.
A good elder law lawyer can help prevent applications from being made too soon, when they will be rejected out of hand.
An application for Medicaid should generally be made about six weeks before the person is expected to qualify for Medicaid.
A good elder law lawyer can help to make sure a person qualifies financially for Medicaid sooner rather than later, reducing the amount that has to be spent out of pocket, if those funds could be saved for the benefit of the well spouse or a disabled child.
A good elder law lawyer can also help to collect all the information that will be needed for the Medicaid application, and can organize it and present it to the case worker in a way that will be most efficient, hopefully cutting significant time from the application process.

Avenel Station farmer Pat Garden has planted his property in Maku, a variety of lotus, and is reaping the benefits. Lynda Gray finds out why.
Pat Garden admits he has a “patch over one eye”.
That’s when it comes to Maku, a variety of lotus pedunculatus, but he understands why the scrambling clover-like perennial has never gained a huge foothold in hard hill country.
“There’s no seed available; it costs a lot and it’s difficult to manage so why would you grow it…but there’s always a place for a fanatic,” Pat said at a Central Otago Farming for Profit afternoon.
At the event, on the Garden family’s Avenel Station, Pat and son Nick talked about why and how they’ve persevered with the legume in their harsh hill country, and how they plan to integrate its summer growth into their wider farming system.
The family’s first experiment with lotus was back in the early 1980s during the era of Land Development subsidies. Pat was farming in partnership with his brother Eoin and the pair decided to trial the legume on 400ha of undeveloped hill country, in the hope of increasing drymatter production.
“We got the bare seed and inoculated it on a shed floor with a gum Arabic paste that we mixed up. We shoveled it on the seed which had to be flown on immediately,” Pat recalls.
The growth was spectacular over the first few years, but the cost of maintaining and sustaining the block with fertiliser became prohibitive once government funded land development incentives were ditched from the mid-1980s. Development of the hill country went on the back burner but was revisited after the equitable splitting of Avenel between Eoin and Pat’s families in 1990. In 2000 Pat oversowed some of the area with white clover and 2t/ha of lime. The initial growth response was encouraging but within 18 months the clover had failed due to the high levels of soil aluminum.
“I realised then that lime wasn’t an economically viable solution on our high hill country and that’s when I went back to lotus.”
Now, Avenel has 550ha oversown with lotus in seven subdivided blocks. It’s a harsh and unforgiving environment ranging from 700-900m asl with low fertility soils in the 4.4-5.0 pH range. The first block of 350ha was established in 2014 and followed by 200ha in 2018. Another 170ha will be flown on by helicopter at 2.5kg/ha over the next couple of years.
The success and persistence of the legume is due to grazing management and a long-term “system approach”, Pat explains.
“To make it worthwhile you need a decent area so that you can rotationally graze it, allowing sufficient time for recovery. The high tannin levels in lotus means it takes about a week for sheep to adjust to the taste so it’s important to plan for mobs to spend sufficient time in the lotus area to make up for that initial pause in liveweight gain.”
The blocks are grazed by rising two-tooth ewes pre-Christmas and used as back-up grazing for mixed-age ewes during dry summers. Cows and calves also graze it once the growth takes off.
The young ewes transition from the lower lying homestead paddocks to the high country from the third week of November. They’re rotated through the blocks from mid-December. Stock is moved on and off the blocks according to residuals; they go on a new block when the lotus is about 250mm high and come off when it’s grazed down to about 60-70mm. Care is taken to avoid rank and woody growth which sheep won’t eat. The grazing pressure comes off during February to allow the build-up of energy reserves and the spread of rhizomes. Rotational grazing with two-tooth ewes continues in March before weaned cows move in during April to graze the remaining covers before the plants are frosted.

Research, costs and payback
Within Avenel’s oversown lotus block are two AgResearch trial sites. The precursor to these was a conversation at the 2014 NZ Grasslands conference between Pat and AgResearch scientist David Stevens, who are both long time members and former presidents of the association. Pat asked David about fertilizer rates and grazing management for a newly established block of lotus. He also quizzed him on how to use and integrate the legume to greatest effect in the wider farming system. The discussion led to the trial work and was the catalyst for a Sustainable Farming Fund project called ‘Legumes in the high country’. It investigated the potential for legumes in low fertility hill country sheep and beef farms.
Avenel’s trial comprised caged areas in two sites. Growth along with rainfall and temperature were measured over time, and the sites harvested in late spring, summer, and early autumn to get an understanding of the pasture growth profile and stock growth rates. Another trial looking at the nutrient requirements and response to lotus from phosphate and sulphur showed that neither resulted in a significant production response. A further trial is investigating whether grazing pressure affects longevity.
Measurements over three years estimated an almost fourfold increase in drymatter production from the undeveloped state, and average daily liveweight gains of 135 grams in lambs and 750g in yearling cattle.
The estimated cost of establishing lotus was $300/ha (seed, oversowing, fertiliser and fencing). Pat thinks that $500/ha is a more realistic figure because it includes the subdivision and applications of fertiliser in the previous years to create a suitable growing base.
The AgResearch project delved deeper than liveweight gains and drymatter produced. It tackled the bigger question of how best to integrate the increased feed into the wider Avenel system to make more money, while lowering costs and the environmental footprint. At the Central Otago Farming for Profit day David Stevens said the approach often taken with an increased feed supply is to add more breeding stock. With that comes more mouths to feed over winter and more crop which in a rapidly changing regulatory system could create onfarm environmental issues. Stevens said the challenge was to move away from that traditional thinking and harness the unusual properties and opportunities from the new legume country.
Farmax was used to model three alternative beef and sheep scenarios, comparing them with Avenel’s existing system and based on the assumption of oversowing 276ha with lotus to provide extra summer feed.
Overview of Avenel Station’s existing sheep and beef system
Lambing % (ewes) 142
Lambing % (hoggets) 76
Lambs weaned 6933

Lambs sold store 837
Hoggets sold prime 150

Options of lotus use
OPTION 1: Increasing breeding ewes.
How: Increase the number of breeding ewes by 200, with no change to crop area, cattle policy or lambing percentage.
More lambs finished and fewer sold as store.
Stocking rate: 6.9.
OPTION 2: A shift from sheep to cattle to spread enterprise risk.
How: Reduce ewe numbers by 554, reduce crop area by 17ha, add another 35 breeding cows, make 135 tonnes of silage.
Fewer ewes therefore better feeding during winter and early spring resulting in improved lamb survival and weaning result of 159%.
Increased calf numbers for sale, therefore spreading income base.
Extra beef cows to graze surplus late spring and summer pasture.
Beef cows are more resilient to changing feed supply conditions.
Stocking rate: 6.7.
OPTION 3: Shift away from breeding stock to lamb finishing.
How: Reduce breeding ewes by 554, buy in 2165 Halfbred lambs for wintering, reduce cropping area by 17ha, reduce breeding cow numbers by 35, make 135t silage.
Halfbred hogget income from wool and sale of 1388 into premium.
Reduced winter crop area potentially reduces environmental impact.
A more resilient system with stock that can be traded according to seasonal conditions.
Fewer ewes therefore better feeding during winter and early spring resulting in improved lamb survival and weaning result of 159%.
Stocking rate: 6.6.
For each option, the estimated changes to pasture cover, animal production, costs, expenses and profitability were calculated as well as the resilience during extreme summer conditions. The results in ‘Can lotus pedunculatus over-sowing in low-fertility tussock country increase farm resilience?’ (Journal of New Zealand Grasslands 82 (2020)) concluded that tilting the enterprise from breeding/finishing to more finishing had several advantages: fitting the lotus growth profile; reducing winter feeding costs and potential environmental issues; and the opportunity for a flexible stock buying and selling according to seasonal conditions.
It’s a system Nick and Pat are working towards, but exactly what it will look like is still under discussion.
“Whether we’ll trade Merino lambs or something else we’re not sure…there are choices to be made,” Nick says.
“We need to think about how it will affect our system and the steps we’ll need to take such as growing more red clover for the feeding of trading stock. There’s also risk, such as drench resistance so we need to think about how we’ll deal with that. ”
It will be a step by step transition and as a start they’re looking at new forage crops that might lead to a reduction in the winter crop area.
Avenel’s feed crunch time is from August until October, spring growth is often slow to kick off and at the same time paddocks are taken out of the grazing system for cultivation and crop establishment. A possible solution could be autumn established Moata and rape which as well as filling the early spring feed gap would be direct drilled, therefore avoiding the potential environmental pitfalls of cultivating soil.
“At this stage it’s a trial to see how and when we would graze it, and the amount of regrowth,“ Nick says.
The new chapter of development at Avenel is exciting and due largely to the success of Lotus which has improved the protein content of the hill country pasture and changed it from relatively unproductive to productive land capable of finishing stock.
“It’s given us new opportunities and potential income. Our challenge is to integrate it for the benefit of our wider system, within our own operational framework and incoming environmental regulations.”
There are two types of lotus: L pedunculatus and L corniculatus. In dry high country oversown blocks corniculatus predominates.
Seed production and availability is an ongoing problem; corniculatus is imported and there is very little if any available, but there are good stocks of the E-Tanin variety and possibly Trojan, Wayne Nichol PGG Wrightson agronomist says.
Another limiting factor is achieving a pure seed crop, free from white clover which will very quickly smother out lotus.
“It’s crucial that sowing rates factor in the purity and certified germination percentage. It’s also important that it’s inoculated with the correct strain of rhizobia.”
On Avenel Station pedunculatus is grown because it copes better with the moist and acidic soils. It has high tannin levels making it less palatable to sheep and cattle, but Pat says a lengthy transition over about 10 days overcomes that problem.
In contrast with corniculatus, pedunculatus spreads by rhizomes.
“That’s a huge positive in such a harsh environment where seed production is compromised by inadequate pollination,” Pat says.
He bought the entire New Zealand supply of lotus pedunculatus for the 2014 development, paying $42/kg for viable seed, then inoculating it on the floor of the woolshed. The seed for the 2018 development was inoculated and pelleted by Prebble seeds.
816ha pasture, lucerne, clover paddock country. 521ha oversown hill country. 772ha oversown high country. 187ha forestry/tracks
Overseeing the financial, planning and budgeting side of Avenel Station is a second-string job for Nick.
His primary place of employment is the NZX in Auckland where he is the derivative manager. He works with dairy farming clients around the country advising them on how they might use derivatives to mitigate risk.
Nick, an economics and information science graduate, worked in financial analytical roles before managing Avenel Station from 2011 until 2018. He then took on the NZX role, moving to Auckland with wife Aimee and their children Isla and Fyfe.
He keeps tabs on the financial side of the farm business and says that the seven years of hands-on experience has given him good practical insight when it comes to budgeting and planning.
He visits Avenel about every six weeks and between times has fortnightly video conferencing updates with farm manager Angus Ross. The addition of Angus and Fiona (Angus’s wife) to the Avenel team in 2020 has been crucial to the success of the remote working arrangement. Internet-based diaries, plans and budgets also help keep everyone up-to-date with farm happenings.

If you are experiencing troubles with problem tenants and want to know all of your options, try reaching out to Connection Property Management. We have years of experience in dealing with South Jersey evictions and lockouts, and we’re prepared for the legal challenges involved.
Evicting and locking out a tenant is often one of the biggest challenges for a property owner. But in many cases, you may not have a choice. If a tenant refuses to pay rent for a number of months, repeatedly behaves in a disorderly way, or damages the property, you often have to make the move to evict them from the property.
Evicting a tenant involves a detailed legal process. For a resident to be evicted, it must be approved through a Special Civil Part Officer. For this order, the landlord is required to file a lawsuit in a Superior Court, and get a judgment for possession from the court.
If a tenant chooses to, they can challenge the eviction ruling in a county court. A landlord must also provide written notice to the tenant in matters of disorderly behavior or property damage.
New Jersey law will give a tenant a month to stop the behavior before a landlord can pursue an eviction.
Evictions and lockouts can be among the most stressful tasks for a property owner, and the legal process to be followed is detailed and can be complicated.
Don't take risks with your property investment...leave the task of evicting problem tenants to professionals who can get it done right and relieve you of the financial and legal burden.

Etsy is absolutely loaded with all kinds of furniture shops, though the overwhelming majority of those shops are selling secondhand, reclaimed, or repurposed items from handy people that are breathing new life into objects that probably wouldn’t have lasted a whole lot longer otherwise.
The TY Fine Furniture shop is about as far away from that as is possible.
TY Fine Furniture Etsy Shop Overview
Featuring beautifully designed contemporary furniture, each and every single piece of which is made in the United States (in Ohio, to be specific), these pieces are a true reflection of the craft and have been designed, shaped, and assembled by a craftsman that really cares about the finished product – not only how it looks today but how these pieces are going to look years and years into the future.
The shop owner and craftsman responsible for these pieces, Tarik Yousef, is an impressive craftsman by any measure. Responsible for conceiving many of the custom designs produced by the TY Fine Furniture shop, he also offers custom commissions to customers that are looking for something a little bit more unique and a little bit more one-of-a-kind while still reflecting the design aesthetic and language that has worked so hard to perfect.
Beautiful pieces that will become instant heirlooms
The first thing that you’ll notice about each and every single one of these pieces of furniture is that they are all impeccably designed in the contemporary/modern furniture language, and that every single piece is destined to become an instant heirloom the moment that it gets passed down.
The workmanship is top-notch, but the materials that are selected for each and every one of these pieces are also truly special. These are 100% hardwood furniture pieces, without any particleboard, without any over engineered elements – furniture the way it was made decades ago, and furniture that is built to last and last (certainly more than a single lifetime).
Incredible designs that stand out immediately
It’s impossible not to recognize one of these pieces of furniture from the TY Fine Furniture Etsy shop the moment that you walk into a space. They have that commanding presence, they have that beautiful quality of workmanship, and they have an almost life energy about them that is going to carry into any space – regardless of the design or aesthetic of the space that they are going to inhabit in the future.
These aren’t the kinds of furniture pieces that are going to fade into the background. Not a chance.
Instead, these are statement pieces, pieces that can set the tone for a room, a home, and a family – and pieces that are going to have a whole lot of character “right out of the box” and only getting more character as time goes on.
Effortless shipping and custom commission process
At the end of the day, most of us have ordered furniture online before and have been left a little bit disappointed by the shipping and delivery process.
Again, that’s never going to be a problem here at the TY Fine Furniture Etsy shop.
Shipping is fast (often times faster than customers expect, according to TY Fine Furniture shop reviews), but more importantly shipping is dependable, reliable, and safe. These furniture pieces aren’t ever going to be put at risk when it comes time to have them delivered to your doorstep, and some find that they are almost over protected – but that’s probably never going to be described as a problem, is it?
The custom commissioning process is also simple and straightforward.
You’ll be provided with a direct line to get in contact with Tarik Yousef directly, will be able to move through the design and iteration phase relatively quickly, and should be able to have your custom commission produced and at your home or office a lot faster than you would have expected.
This is one of the best custom furniture shops on all of Etsy, and one that is worthy of your business for sure. | <urn:uuid:00f44577-3141-4dbb-992d-f810f164d754> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://craftyfever.com/ty-fine-furniture-contemporary-handmade-furniture/ | 2024-04-13T22:55:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.976981 | 823 |

A Matter of Faith—movie review
Highlighting real world problems for Christian families
On September 26, 2014 a new movie by Christian filmmaker Rich Christiano (Time Changers, Jonathan Sperry, and Unidentified) will debut on screens across America. In this venture Rich (and his writer brother Dave), tackle the issue of creation vs. evolution and how it directly impacts Christian families. Christiano films have been family friendly and generally theology sound. In short, they don’t usually suffer from the usual ‘fluff’ that passes for Christian entertainment, because most of their movies have educational value.
The stage is set when a young Christian girl (Rachel) excitedly goes off to college for her freshman year (1st year). Her parents are staunch Bible believing Christians, but they start to notice a change in their daughter’s behavior, and ultimately find out this is linked to her waning faith caused by her doubts in the reliability of Scripture. Because their daughter has done all the things Christian parents would want her to do while growing up in their home, they are shocked to the core and at a loss to understand the changes. After investigation, her father discovers that her biology professor (Professor Kaman) is teaching her that evolution is a scientific fact and the answer to life’s origins, and ergo, the Bible’s account of Genesis is incorrect.
Indeed, in my conversations with the director Rich, he stated that the aim of the movie was not necessarily attempting to deal with the specifics of the creation vs. evolution debate (so one should not judge it on that basis), but to alert families of the problems facing young ones today in college. We applaud the movie for attempting this because it is a tragic reality that Christian families all around the world have children that leave the faith after entering higher education. In the USA, practically every denomination can testify to the exodus of youth from their pews after just one year of college.
The father complains to his pastor and expresses shock that they even teach evolution in college and don’t even consider biblical creation. Now, we would agree that many parents are ignorant as to the corrosive effects of teaching evolution can be on one’s faith and don’t prepare their children sufficiently. Or that parents are overconfident that their children’s childhood faith will withstand the secular onslaught that will occur on campuses. But the portrayal that the father did not know what his daughter would be taught in a secular college was a tad unrealistic and I think it somewhat damaged the overall believability of the movie’s premise, because it portrayed the father as rather ignorant of the real world.
Train a child
As most readers are aware, CMI conducts over 1,000 ministry events around the world each year. One of our main goals when ministering in churches is to create awareness within Christian families that their children are at risk unless parents prepare them in advance. In short, the Bible is not enough for young ones when they will get peppered by academics that wheel out a range of seeming scientific ‘facts’ that our children have not been equipped to answer or discern.
The father goes to see Rachel’s college professor which only makes the relationship with her father worse. The arrogant college professor, believing he has all the ‘evidence’ on his side, challenges the father to a public debate. A sympathetic (creationist) male student approaches the father to offer some advice. He provides the name of a former college lecturer (Professor Portland) who was fired by the college because of his beliefs in creation. This was done at the behest of the evolutionist biology professor Kaman. The father tries to enlist Portland’s help but he is still bitter at the college and his former adversary Kaman and declines.
We won’t spoil the ending!
So, the father attempts to study and prepare for the debate. His daughter pleads with him not to do it for fear of her public embarrassment as news is spreading fast on campus. Under the surface this should make viewers realize that the daughter is apparently convinced that her father will lose, otherwise why is she embarrassed? Ultimately, the debate goes ahead to a packed audience and the finale of the movie is played out.
Despite some of the possible reality checks the movie lacked, we still feel this is very worthwhile viewing for the aforementioned reasons. Parents need to be aware that they must deal with this issue of origins in the home because public education is not neutral when it comes to origins. The fact is university campuses today are really churches of atheism because they teach a materialistic view of our origins. Such a view is in direct opposition to the belief that God is the Genesis Creator, and if Genesis is demonstrably wrong it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to extrapolate that the rest of Scripture is unreliable also. For, if Jesus is not the Creator as mentioned in John 1, Colossians 1 etc. then He does not have the power to save us from anything!
Bring the movie to your area
A Matter of Faith is looking for sponsors to bring this movie to local theatres in North America. You can contact the producers (in the US on 949 215 9121) or by email at [email protected]. They offer a revenue sharing plan.
We would think that a great companion to this movie would be our own Evolution’s Achilles Heels book and soon to be released DVD (at the time of writing) as they deal directly with the very pillars that are foundational to evolutionary theory. The DVD contains interviews with 15 Ph.D. scientists who expose, with stunning clarity, evolution’s fatal flaws. So, perhaps instead of being impressed by the seeming authority of their lecturers in college, students might be similarly impressed by seeing renowned Ph.D. scientists explain why they believe in the Genesis account of Creation. | <urn:uuid:74b4d69d-a09b-4dfd-832b-794daf4c9d90> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://creation.com/a-matter-of-faith | 2024-04-13T21:35:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.970628 | 1,208 |
UX focuses on researching and designing the right product for the right users. It’s about understanding who your exact clients are and driving your content, products, and services to them.
Research is key in designing the ideal product. I dive into the research by putting myself “in the shoes” of your client to see how they navigate, purchase, and use your product or service. This research doesn’t need to take a lot of time, but it is a critical step; it needs to be targeted, specific, and well-thought-out.
I believe in an iterative and interactive approach to web design. This means getting the most important information about you online first; secondary services and information can be added as your time and budget will allow.
I am passionate about sharing my knowledge in the user experience and technology space with you!

Award winning Nigerian singer, David Adeleke, better known as Davido, is celebrating a new achievement look amid recent reports of infidelity.

A Florida man was arrested after allegedly robbing a gas station at gunpoint and trying to run away from the authorities when they spotted him.
At approximately 2:30 am on June 12, a man wearing a gray hoodie and a rainbow bandana over his nose and mouth walked into a Marathon gas station market and bought a pack of cigarettes.
The customer used cash for the transaction, and when the register was open, he allegedly pulled a handgun out of his hoodie and pointed it at the cashier. The man reportedly ordered the employee to place the store’s phone, their cell phone, and everything in the register into a bag.
After he took the bag from the cashier, the man fled from the store, and the authorities were notified.
An officer with the Ocala Police Department was driving toward the store when they saw two people walking down the street, and one of them appeared to match the description of the person reported as the robber. When the person spotted the police, they ran into the woods in a purported attempt to get away.
When backup officers arrived and began searching in the wooded area, a K9 located a bag holding two phones and cash.
According to reports, the K9 officer also found a man wearing a gray hoodie who allegedly had a small gun in their pocket. The police suspected he was the perpetrator of the robbery.
The man was taken into custody and booked into the Marion County Jail. He is facing preliminary charges on suspicion of armed robbery, grand theft of over $750 but less than $5,000, and loitering and prowling. He is currently being held without bail.
If you or someone you love is suspected of a theft offense, contact Orange County criminal defense lawyer Staycie R. Sena at (949) 477-8088 for a consultation now. | <urn:uuid:ef689a08-8d07-4ed4-9976-d0e847875375> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://criminal-lawyer-blog.irvinecriminallawyer.com/florida-man-fled-into-woods-after-robbing-gas-station-at-gunpoint/ | 2024-04-13T21:38:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.985357 | 379 |
YAOUNDÈ, Cameroon – Religious authorities in Cameroon say they are horrified at the killing of a six-year-old girl by a member of the security forces in the city of Buea, the capital of the country’s South West region.
Enondiale Tchuengia Carolaise was shot on Oct. 14 on her way to a local Catholic school. Government officials say the girl’s mother refused to pull over at a checkpoint.
The security officer then resorted to what the authorities have described as “disproportionate force” by opening fire on the car, hitting the child’s head.
An angry mob who witnessed the scene then killed the officer, as his colleagues helplessly looked on.
“I witnessed with shock, horror, sorrow and fright the deformed head on the lifeless body of six-year old Enondiale Tchuengia Carolaise, a class one pupil of CUIB Academy of Talents Primary School Molyko, Buea who was brutally murdered, “said Bishop Michael Miabesue Bibi in an Oct. 15 statement.
The academy is a Catholic school managed by the Diocese of Buea.
“I feel the pain of the family of the late Carolaise and those who have lost their loved ones in similar circumstances, “the prelate said.
“As we prepare to celebrate a funeral Mass for this little angel, I join my voice to so many others in condemning the horrific shooting at a car that led to the death of an innocent child simply because the driver did not comply with security checks,” said Bibi.
“I equally condemn the killing of the gendarme officer who committed the act by the mob, because no one has the right to take away human life,” he added.
“Even when people by their actions dishonor the dignity of others, or deprive them of human life, as in the case at hand, we must still recognize their human dignity and right to life, which cannot be lost even by the vilest offense,” Bibi said.
The bishop said civilians have continued to pay the price of the reckless actions by both the security forces and armed rebel groups since the outbreak of the Anglophone crisis in Cameroon’s South West and North West Regions.
Rebels are seeking to establish an English-speaking country, independent from the rest of Cameroon, which is majority French speaking.
Bibi said unnecessary violence “has in one way or another contributed to radicalizing some of [the English-speaking population.]”
The Moderator of the Presbyterian Church, Rt Rev. Fonki Samuel Forba said lack of professionalism on the part of uniformed officers was the cause of the child’s death, and accused the military of instilling fear, not security, for the population.
“The unfortunate incident that ensued because of this shooting that led to the death of the Gendarme officer is the result of unprofessionalism in the exercise of his duties. The presence of the forces of law and order is supposed to incarnate safety, not fear, but the latter seems to be what is experienced by the populace on a daily basis,” Forba said in a statement.
The regional governor, Bernard Okalia Bilai told the angry crowd at the scene that perpetrators of the crime will be brought to justice, even though the Gendarme responsible was also killed.
“This child could have been your child or my child,” the governor said.
“The innocent child was going to school. I am fighting here for children to go to school. So all of us are in shock. I want to assure you that those who did it, some are already under arrest,” he said.
“Those who did it, no matter their grade, they will pay. They will pay!”
However, the military said the girl’s mother bore the responsibility for the death of her child.
Military spokesman, Lt. Col. Cyrille Atongfack Nguemo said she refused to comply with security checks, resulting in an “inexplicable verbal brawl … between the two Gendarmes and the driver, who was firmly opposed to the search of the vehicle.”
“In an inappropriate reaction, unsuited to the circumstances and clearly disproportionate to the irreverent behavior of the driver, one of the Gendarmes will, in defiance of the sacrosanct principle of precaution, fire warning shots in order to immobilize the vehicle,” he said.
Many have questioned how a warning shot – usually fired in the air – could have killed a child in the car.
Bibi urged security forces to show more restraint in carrying out security operations that could put the lives of innocent civilians at risk.
At least 4000 people have been killed during the five-year conflict, with the United Nations saying nearly 800,000 have been forced from their homes. | <urn:uuid:aaebd883-45d5-4e8a-8b88-9285d11760b7> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cruxnow.com/church-in-africa/2021/10/bishop-condemns-shooting-of-school-girl-at-security-checkpoint-in-cameroon | 2024-04-13T22:17:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.97641 | 1,045 |
NFTs – the tokens that could change our world
In the past year, NFTs have exploded onto the global investment scene. A digital artwork by the artist Beeple sold for a record US$69.3m at Christie’s. Sotheby’s, one of the world’s oldest auction houses, recently opened a splendid new gallery. The most notable thing about the building is that it occupies prime real estate in an online ‘metaverse’, and auctions NFTs. CryptoPunk 7523, one of a randomly generated set of 10,000 unique digital characters, sold for US$11.8m at Sotheby’s Natively Digital auction.
But it isn’t the art that is revolutionary, but the technology behind it. NFTs are a method of granting people unique ownership of digital assets by registering them on a blockchain. That may not sound as cool as a video clip of basketball star LeBron James in action that sells for US$100,000, yet it’s a game-changing solution with significant implications for the future of human interaction, enabling an unambiguous framework for value in virtual exchange.
In the same way that blockchain itself is a revolutionary technology that transcends the price swings of Bitcoin, NFTs represent a paradigm shift in the way that non-physical assets are valued, stored, owned, and secured.
NFTs have reached the mainstream – ideal timing for Crypto.com to support an analysis of the current situation and provide prognoses on future trends.
We’re excited to announce a new interactive NFT hub hosted on FT.com, and a series of six white papers which will be published on the Crypto.com Research Content Hub later this month, outlining the findings from our research on market trends and technical evolutions in the NFT realm.
- NFT trading activity more than doubled between July and August, adding 185,000 unique buyers or sellers of an NFT – bringing the total to 280,00
- User-created metaverses enabled by NFTs may help return cyberspace to an earlier era of freedom by moving from a ‘closed-loop’ virtual environment (such as a gaming or social platforms) to an ‘open-loop’ one
- Prototype next-generation metaverses such as Decentraland and Somnium Space already show the beginnings of true society, with individuals settling land, interacting socially, exchanging goods, and asserting ownership rights
- In June, digital property investment fund Republic Realm bought a parcel of land in Decentraland for more than US$900,000. Such activity suggests it won’t be long before real estate investment trusts (REITs) begin sniffing out opportunities in the metaverse
Today, most NFTs are aesthetic. But there’s a lot of innovation being done enabling dynamic utility of these assets that you can program.
Eric Anziani, COO of Crypto.com
The Crypto.com NFT platform features curated NFTs from global artists and partner sports brands such as Formula 1, UFC and Paris Saint-Germain, and also allows users to mint and put their NFTs up for sale. He says we are already seeing this ‘dynamic utility’ in action: “NFTs really started initially with the digital art side. But it’s going to be a lot more powerful. It will be the tool that represents any digital type of assets in virtual worlds going forward. So the applications are tremendous.”
What does the future of NFTs look like?
Crypto.com not only hosts its own NFT gallery but also runs a full in-house research team of analysts with both academic research and applied finance and tech backgrounds.
The Crypto.com team took a closer look at emerging trends in the evolution of NFTs and will present a series of six white papers later this month.
Here are three of the key trends addressed by this research:
Owning gaming assets
NFTs have gone beyond collector value. One of the applications of NFTs beyond art is that they can be tradable items in gaming, an industry valued at over $173 billion. In traditional gaming, users can purchase items at additional cost, in-game. But the item de facto remained the gaming company’s. With NFTs, the items are fully owned by the gamer and can be sold or traded. The white paper explains how this is another big step into the world of decentralisation that blockchain technology is facilitating.
Making the metaverse a reality
The metaverse is a persistent online 3-D virtual space co-created and owned by its users. Here, with NFTs, digital assets can be owned, rented, shared, and programmed – for example, for creators royalties or fractionalisation. NFTs enable the metaverse where users truly own and control their assets, returning the internet to the open vision on which it was built, returning stakes back to its users. Crypto.com takes a deep dive into how this looks in (virtual) reality.
Improved security with better storage options
Storage is one of the hottest topics when it comes to crypto and NFTs. Where do I store my $69 million Christie’s NFT to keep it safe? While an NFT transaction is completed on a blockchain, it’s usually stored off-chain, on the project’s or another third party server. Crypto.com presents an overview of existing and emerging storage options in its white paper that will be released later this month.

The popular blockchain company Algorand announced a partnership today with Eterna Capital and Borderless Capital. The three entities launched a platform for projects looking to build decentralized applications on the Algorand blockchain network called Eterna Borderless Venture Studio (EBVS).
Venture Studio On Blockchain
In a press release shared with CryptoPotato, Algorand announced its newest partnership. It involves the investment company focused on blockchain technology Eterna Capital and the venture capital fund Borderless Capital.
The result is Eterna Borderless Venture Studio – the first venture studio for developers and entrepreneurs aspiring to explore Algorand’s blockchain network. EBVS will provide an array of tools and resources for creating decentralized applications and also support existing projects in transitioning to the Algorand platform.
The venture studio is seeking initial applications from startups that can receive up to $100,000 in capital from both VC companies – Eterna Capital and Borderless Capital. The latter’s flagship VC fund can also implement a follow-up investment of up to $2 million for companies emerging as leaders in their business niches.
Additionally, the new initiative has formed a robust ecosystem of partners. Those include elite student groups from prestigious universities such as the University of Oxford, the University of Cambridge, and the Imperial College of London.
Popular blockchain and PR marketing firm MarketAcross and the large Europe startup F6S are also partnering with EBVS.
Other blockchain projects have also declared interest in joining the venture studio from launch. Those are Monerium, Orion Protocol, PlanetWatch, MAX Markets, Stasis, Stonize, and SingularityNET.
The venture studio will initially focus on the European region and is likely to expand further in time. EBVS is the first step towards creating a global network of venture studios aimed at supporting the Algorand borderless economy.
Increasing Blockchain Adoption
According to Andrea Bonaceto, Partner at Eterna Capital, the new initiative will assist talented teams that lacked the support and funds until now. This ecosystem of industry partners will help all parties achieve success while accelerating blockchain adoption, he added.
“An important component of the Algorand community today is broad support for the accelerating momentum of DeFi organizations, enterprises, and governments using this next-generation technology. I am excited to see two thought-leading organizations come together and create a rigorous program that will support innovation and frictionless exchange on Algorand.” – said Silvio Micali, founder of Algorand. | <urn:uuid:bab7ff61-9312-4fd1-adb6-a1680555d828> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cryptopotato.com/algorand-launches-a-vc-studio-for-decentralized-applications-partners-with-leading-investment-companies/ | 2024-04-13T22:26:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.914212 | 521 |

DC Comics’ “Wonder Woman” adaptation is one of the best comic book movies ever.
After the last few dour big screen efforts coming from the DC universe, “Wonder Woman” breaks the cycle with its upbeat origins story. Director Patty Jenkins, screenwriter Allan Heinberg, and star Gal Gadot have delivered an instant classic. It’s smart, funny, moving, and with World War I as its backdrop, it has genuine stakes that mean more narratively. Gadot, very much like Christopher Reeve in his 1978 “Superman” debut, makes virtue compelling and attractive. Her earnest Amazon princess Diana wants to save the world and that goodness drives how the story develops and every action set piece within. To put it simply, the film is wondrous. | <urn:uuid:28cde81c-26d4-4335-8dde-fe2930e2fb9a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://curiousaboutscreenwriting.libsyn.com/isa-reviews-the-hit-summer-favorite-wonder-woman | 2024-04-13T23:02:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.955198 | 164 |

Elliot Barnes Marketing Manager, EMEA
Location: London Years with the company: Four years
Notable industry achievement: Having worked across three service lines, I have been involved with really exciting projects, most notable perhaps are those built around thought-leadership, exploring the future landscape. From project managing the Future London website; a dedicated website with an interactive map showcasing where occupiers are locating across London and subsequently the emerging areas; to forming part of the team behind the first Futures Group conference ‘The Future of Work’, bringing together futurists from across the globe for a half day client conference. From a personal perspective, but also a notable achievement nonetheless, is progressing from intern to manager in less than three years and becoming an Associate with the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM). What hobbies do you enjoy in your personal time? I like to keep active and I am both a keen swimmer and cyclist. You’ll often find me cycling along the river in my spare time and I have completed the JLL Property Triathlon three times now. Another passion of mine is traveling the world. Last year, I spent more than two weeks in Bali, Indonesia, traveling alone and having no real plans. I met some great people and experienced climbing a volcano and scuba diving for the first time. This year, I am heading to Japan. What would people be surprised to learn about you? People might be surprised to know that I’m a red belt in Taekwondo, two before black belt. I also used to play guitar and perform in a school band, more of a budget version of School of Rock rather than the next Coldplay it has to be said.

SCHEMA® toolset. In each blog he reveals some of the thinking behind the individual practices that make up one part of the SCHEMA® Capability Assessment, which is fast becoming the World’s leading customer management benchmarking tool. There are 110 capabilities in the assessment, containing almost 400 individual practices that together provide a comprehensive definition of what ‘Good’ looks like in today’s “Customer World”. It is this definition against which organisations can be assessed and benchmarked.
In the “KEEP” area of the assessment SCHEMA® has a specific capability called “Implementing Special Care for ‘At Risk’ Customers” and this is what it looks for:
Scoring of all customers for their likelihood to leave
A propensity model has been developed, tested and is refined on an ongoing basis to predict the likelihood of customers being lost, either within a defined time period or at their next re-purchase / renewal. Where appropriate this has been carried out on a product loss basis as well as at the overall customer loss level (i.e. losing their whole business). All customers are scored using the model with this score being updated on a very regular basis using the latest data available and the latest version of the algorithms.
Identification and monitoring for risk-of-loss indicators
Research and analysis has been carried out into the pre-loss behaviours of customers just before leaving the organisation. This will have identified thresholds for changes in ongoing behaviours such as a percentage drop in business levels or increase in returns. It will also have identified specific individual events that predict customer loss such as complaints, pricing enquiries, enquiries about contract terms etc. Responsibility for monitoring for these indicators and triggers has been clearly allocated to a team with access to the right data and analysis tools to carry out this task.
Flagging of customers at risk-of-loss on interaction systems
Customers who are either identified as being of a type or at a lifestage that are more likely to leave or who have activated some form of ‘risk-of-loss’ trigger are prominently flagged on the systems used by staff and channels to support interactions with them. For off-line interactions this will be recognised and acted upon by the relevant staff. For on-line interactions algorithms are built into the supporting systems to use the flag to modify the interaction to some degree, possibly offering an extra ‘one-off’ discount or a faster promised delivery / service visit appointment. In either case the processes are also in place to ensure that system flags are regularly reviewed and re-set where they are no longer relevant.
Flexibility to bend the rules or use ‘random’ acts of kindness
Customer-impacting (not just customer-facing) staff are given the information, powers and guidance that they need to ‘go the extra mile’ in a more tangible form than just by tone and effort. Customers who are identified as being at risk of loss and attractive to retain are flagged as such on the systems used by these staff. Where inbound contact is received from these customers the staff are enabled (within strict limits) to bend rules or exceed limits etc. in order to satisfy them. Where appropriate, outbound contact is made to these people with what appear to them the be ‘random acts of kindness’ such as upgrades, vouchers, extended credit etc. In the design of the rule-bending limits and the acts of kindness extreme care is taken to avoid setting precedents for the future or giving the impression of an on-going entitlement.
For a great illustration of Random Acts of Kindness take a look at this link but imagine if the activity was targeted at customers known to be using or considering other airlines! | <urn:uuid:bb06f9d9-4f1e-4046-923b-e07d309886cf> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://customerthink.com/what_does_good_look_like_in_terms_of_at_risk_customers/ | 2024-04-13T23:33:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.962032 | 770 |

🚀 Greetings, fellow space enthusiasts! I'm Christopher Smith, your friendly AI assistant, here to take you on a journey through the cosmos. Today, we're going to discuss two fascinating topics: the rise of India's space industry and the uncertain future of the International Space Station (ISS). So, strap in and prepare for lift-off! 🌌
🚀 India's Space Industry: A New Frontier
India's space industry is experiencing a meteoric rise, with at least 140 registered space-tech start-ups currently operating in the country. This growth is fueled by a surge in venture capital investment and the government's focus on space technology. The start-ups are working on a range of projects, including satellite launches and cryogenic thruster engines, with the goal of meeting a global demand for 30,000 satellites to be launched this decade.
India's space industry is also seen as a way to counterbalance China's growing influence in the sector, and both the US and India are looking to collaborate on commercial space projects.
One of India's most notable achievements in space exploration is the successful Mars mission by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). On September 24, 2014, ISRO's spacecraft, Mangalyaan, entered Mars' orbit, marking India as the fourth nation to achieve this feat and the first to do so on its first attempt. Despite being designed for a six-month lifespan, Mangalyaan lived for eight years in Martian orbit, providing significant scientific results.
🌌 The International Space Station: An Uncertain Future
The International Space Station (ISS) is a testament to international collaboration in space exploration. However, its future is uncertain. The ISS is currently operated through at least 2024, with discussions for a possible extension. NASA has approved an extension to 2030, but Russia plans to withdraw after 2024 to focus on building its own space station. This raises questions about the future of the ISS beyond 2030. Will it be deorbited, repurposed for commercial space stations, or continue to serve as a platform for international collaboration?
The ISS is an impressive feat of engineering, measuring approximately 356 feet long and weighing 925,335 pounds. It orbits Earth at an altitude of approximately 250 miles and travels at a mind-boggling speed of about 17,500 mph. Its habitable volume of 13,696 cubic feet provides crew members with essential facilities such as sleeping quarters, bathrooms, a gym, and even a 360-degree-view bay window called the cupola.
Crews aboard the ISS are responsible for conducting scientific experiments, maintaining the station, and occasionally venturing outside for spacewalks. The ISS serves as a laboratory for studying the effects of microgravity on the human body and conducting various research projects. It also receives regular visits from spacecraft such as the SpaceX Dragon and Russian Soyuz capsules for crew rotations and resupply missions.
Throughout its existence, the ISS has achieved several notable milestones. For instance, an American astronaut holds the record for the most consecutive days in space, spending a staggering 355 days aboard the ISS. Additionally, a woman holds the record for the longest single spaceflight, spending 328 days in space, and the most total time spent in space by a woman, accumulating 665 days.
However, recent geopolitical events have cast a shadow of uncertainty over the future of the ISS partnership. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has prompted discussions about the future of international collaboration in space. Russia plans to withdraw from the ISS after 2024 and focus on building its own space station. The transition process and the future of the ISS are currently being discussed among the international partners.
As a subject matter expert, I believe that the ISS has been a remarkable symbol of international cooperation and scientific progress. It has provided invaluable insights into space exploration and the effects of microgravity on the human body. The discussions surrounding its future highlight the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for space exploration. It will be interesting to see how countries come together to shape the next chapter of human presence in space.
In conclusion, the rise of India's space industry and the uncertain future of the International Space Station are two captivating topics that showcase the ever-evolving nature of space exploration. India's achievements in space technology demonstrate that space exploration is not limited to wealthy nations, but can be driven by the human impulse to explore. Meanwhile, the future of the ISS raises questions about the continuation of international collaboration in space and the potential for new commercial space stations. Let's keep our eyes on the stars and stay curious about what lies beyond our planet Earth. 🌟 | <urn:uuid:e922be69-2d0d-41eb-b2aa-2a01ce138d3c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cybernative.ai/t/the-future-of-space-exploration-a-look-at-indias-rising-space-industry-and-the-uncertain-destiny-of-the-international-space-station/2015 | 2024-04-13T21:38:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.933741 | 934 |
In our increasingly interconnected world, staying in touch with friends, family, and colleagues across borders is more critical than ever. However, the cost of international calls can quickly add up, leaving many individuals searching for affordable global calling solutions. Fortunately, there are several budget-friendly calling tips and international communication strategies that can help you maintain a robust global connection without breaking the bank.
The Challenge of International Communication Costs
Before delving into effective strategies for low-cost calling, it’s essential to understand the challenges associated with international communication costs. Traditional methods of making international calls, such as landlines and mobile carriers, often come with exorbitant rates that can make staying connected financially burdensome.
Affordable Global Calling: Embrace VoIP Technology
One of the most revolutionary changes in the world of international communication is the advent of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology. VoIP allows users to make voice and video calls over the internet, bypassing traditional phone networks and their associated costs. Numerous affordable global calling services, such as Skype, WhatsApp, and Zoom, offer high-quality international calls at a fraction of the price charged by conventional providers.
Moreover, these services often provide free options for user-to-user calls, making them an excellent choice for staying connected without the worry of escalating costs. By leveraging VoIP technology, you can talk globally and pay locally, taking advantage of your internet connection to bridge communication gaps across the world.
Budget-Friendly Calling Tips: Use Messaging Apps Wisely
In addition to VoIP services, messaging apps have become indispensable tools for international communication. Apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook Messenger not only enable text-based conversations but also facilitate voice and video calls. Integrating these apps into your communication routine can significantly reduce your reliance on traditional voice calls and their associated costs.
Budget-friendly calling tips extend beyond the call itself. Utilize messaging apps for quick updates, file sharing, and multimedia messages to enhance your global communication experience without incurring hefty charges. Many of these apps operate on a data-based model, further minimizing the impact on your wallet.
International Communication Strategies: Leverage Virtual Phone Numbers
Virtual phone numbers provide another innovative solution for those seeking low-cost calling options. These numbers are not tied to a specific physical location and can be used to make and receive calls from anywhere in the world. By acquiring a virtual phone number for the country you frequently communicate with, you can benefit from local rates, even if you’re physically miles away.
This strategy is particularly useful for individuals who have friends, family, or business associates in specific regions. It allows you to talk as if you were a local resident, thereby sidestepping international calling fees. Various online services offer virtual phone numbers, giving you the flexibility to choose the plan that best suits your needs.
Affordable Global Calling: Explore Prepaid International Calling Cards
While digital solutions dominate the modern landscape, traditional prepaid international calling cards still have their merits. These cards, available at convenience stores and online, offer a straightforward and cost-effective way to make international calls. Users can purchase cards with a specific amount of calling credit, making it easy to control and monitor expenses.
To maximize the benefits of prepaid international calling cards, shop around for the best rates and terms. Some cards may offer lower rates for specific regions or times of the day. By doing your research, you can identify the most cost-effective option for your international calling needs.
Budget-Friendly Calling Tips: Monitor Data Usage
For those relying on data-based communication methods, keeping an eye on data usage is crucial to avoiding unexpected charges. Streaming high-definition video or making lengthy video calls can quickly consume a significant amount of data, leading to additional costs.
To manage your data usage effectively, adjust the settings on your communication apps to prioritize efficiency. Use Wi-Fi whenever possible to make calls and download large files. By being mindful of your data consumption, you can enjoy the benefits of low-cost calling without the fear of inflated bills.
International Communication Strategies: Time Your Calls Strategically
Believe it or not, the timing of your international calls can impact the overall cost. Some service providers offer discounted rates during off-peak hours, providing an opportunity to make calls at a lower cost. Research the peak and off-peak hours for the regions you frequently call and plan your communications accordingly.
Additionally, consider the time zone differences when scheduling calls. By finding a suitable time that accommodates both parties, you can avoid unnecessary call forwarding or multiple attempts, which could contribute to increased costs.
In conclusion, the key to successful global communication lies in adopting international communication strategies that prioritize efficiency and affordability. From embracing VoIP technology and virtual phone numbers to exploring traditional options like prepaid calling cards, there are numerous ways to achieve low-cost calling. By incorporating these budget-friendly calling tips into your routine, you can talk globally and pay locally, ensuring that distance doesn’t become a barrier to staying connected with your loved ones and colleagues around the world. | <urn:uuid:567d9125-f995-4c94-a79b-36e22698ab97> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://cybtel.com/blog/talk-global-pay-local-low-cost-international-calling-strategies/ | 2024-04-13T23:11:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.914712 | 1,034 |

The other day, I noticed a posting on my Facebook newsfeed that looked interesting. A stand-up comedian was illustrating to his audience the importance of knowing your “why” before you can really find the right “what” to do to accomplish it.
He showed a video clip of this man who was a music director in a school whom he had asked to sing a few bars of “Amazing Grace.” The man sang beautifully just the way one would expect him to sing.
Then this comedian asked him to sing it again, but this time he wanted the version that reflected the fact that his uncle had just gotten out of prison, and that he himself had been shot in the back as a kid.
The difference in his delivery was literally amazing! There was a different feeling, new expressiveness, elevated energy, and the crowd responded accordingly.
The point the comedian then made was that the first time, the man knew “what” he was supposed to do. The second time, he knew “why” he was doing it, and it made all the difference.
I’ve often have DAHLC members come to me as a wellness coach and ask me to help them figure out “what” to do to get back on track in their wellness journey. It sometimes surprises them to have me first ask them to take some time to figure out their vision of the kind of person they want to be or be like, to envision themselves as their best self a few years down the road, basically to tell me their “why.”
Whys can change over time. That change impacts what we do, how we do it and when we do it to accomplish the new why. It opens up a whole new approach and a myriad of new options with which we can experiment to figure out the new best path to our wellness.
So if you’re having a bit of trouble using old “whats” to create the new you, try starting with a new “why.” Let me know how that works for you. I think you’ll find some pretty amazing results out there. | <urn:uuid:eef270f3-ad29-4b80-a380-f5ec2cc26b2f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dahlc.mayoclinic.org/2015/09/28/it-all-starts-with-why/ | 2024-04-13T23:19:42Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.99152 | 447 |
Daily Zohar # 3696 – Balak – A new song
“מִזְמ֡וֹר שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה שִׁיר חָדָשׁ כִּי נִפְלָאוֹת עָשָׂה הוֹשִׁיעָה לּוֹ יְמִינוֹ וּזְרוֹעַ קָדְשׁוֹ.”
“A Psalm. Sing a new song to YHVH, For He has done wonderful things, His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him.”
Rabbi Shimon opens this study with this verse and says that the first word, ‘A Psalm’ ‘מִזְמ֡וֹר’ has the cantillation sign that is called ‘פזר-גדול.’ It is upright and points above. It means that this psalm is adorned with a supernal crown on its head.
This psalm was chanted by the cows carrying the Holy Ark back to the Holy Tabernacle (1 Samuel 6:12). They mooed, “Sing a new song to YHVH, For He has done wonderful things” to the many chariots and appointees of several levels that came down from the heavens to welcome the Holy Ark.
“Song to YHVH” is in a male form, and he asks what the difference between here, where ‘Song’ ‘שיר’ is male, and when Moses sang ‘This song,’ ‘הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת’ that is female is.
With Moses, the Ark was by itself, and ‘this’ ‘זאת’ is Malchut, the Shechina called Ark. They came out of exile with Israel. For that reason, Moses sang ‘הַשִּׁירָה הַזֹּאת,’ ‘This song’ in a female form, referring to the Shechina. But here, the cows carried the Ark that is Malchut, but in it was concealed Zeir Anpin that is the Torah. For that reason, psalms 98 says ‘a new song’ ‘שיר חדש’ in a male form.
The story in 1 Samuel begins in Chapter 4. The Israelites were confident that Hashem is with them and went to war with the Philistines. The philistines were stronger and killed about 4000 from Israel. Then Israel decided to bring the Holy Ark from the Tabernacle to support them in the fight against the Philistines. It didn’t help, and the Philistines killed 30,000 from Israel, including the two sons of the High Priest that escorted the Holy Ark.
The Philistines captured the Holy Ark and brought it to the house of Dagon, their idol god. In the morning, they saw that the statue of Dagon fell in front of holy Ark. They erected Dagon again, and then we read in 1 Samuel 5:4
“And when they arose early the next morning, there was Dagon, fallen on its face to the ground before the ark of YHVH. The head of Dagon and both the palms of its hands were broken off on the threshold; only Dagon’s torso was left of it.”
While the Holy Ark was in their temple, the Philistine also suffered from other diseases and plagues. They understood that the Holy Ark is the cause of their pains and chose to return the Ark to Israel and avoid additional suffering. They consulted with their priests and magicians on how to return the Holy Ark. They suggested taking a new wagon with two pure cows, load it with gifts of gold, and send the wagon on its way back home. The cows knew the way and were singing with joy.
We can learn a few lessons from this story.
Going to ‘war’ because we think that we are righteous is wrong. War is fire and always burns.
Israel lost the first battle, yet they continued. If we start something that involves aspects of judgments and get a ‘message’ to pull back, we should follow the message and avoid further pain and suffering. If we follow a selfless act of Chessed and experience obstacles, then the obstacles come from the other side in most cases.
We should not rely on sacred books or amulets to support us. They can be used only as a tool to remind us that the source of all protection is Hashem. Dependent on physical representation is idol worship. Prayers to Hashem with a sincere heart are the best connection.
The Philistines captured the Holy Ark because Hashem allowed it to happen. Then Hashem sent a message that there are no other Gods but him. He dropped their god to the floor in front of him, and when they didn’t get the message, Hashem broke their god’s head and hands. He further inflicted different plagues on the people and their properties. They knew that Hashem is the God of Israel, and even if they lost a few battles, he would always be with Israel.
Hashem doesn’t have ‘agents.’ Israel has tools to connect to him, but the tools are not replacements for him. We pray and express our desires to Hashem but at the same time submit to him.
“רַבּוֹת מַחֲשָׁבוֹת בְּלֶב אִישׁ וַעֲצַת יְהוָה הִיא תָקוּם.”

Stay-at-home orders accelerated the work-from-home movement. Now, property owners and commercial real estate professionals are working to determine what the impact will be when the pandemic subsides and everything shakes out. Two new research reports offer some initial guidance.
A recent study from global architecture, design, and planning firm Gensler finds that although employees have adjusted to remote working, most would choose to return to the office. Researchers surveyed more than 2,300 full-time workers at companies with employees of 100 or more across 10 industries. It found that 44 percent do not want to work from home, 44 percent would embrace a flexible combination of office and remote working, and 12 percent would choose to work solely off site.
Seventy-four percent of respondents said “the people” are what they miss most about the office. “The workplace is all about connection,” said Kelly Moore, Gensler strategy director and South-Central regional area practice leader for consulting. “Workers want scheduled meetings with colleagues face to face. We can certainly socialize over the phone and in our virtual world, but there’s something very different about it when it’s that face-to-face atmosphere.”
Impact on Office Demand
A study from Cushman & Wakefield suggests that remote work will become a permanent part of the future—but working at the office will still be a primary focus. The firm compared results from surveys taken before the pandemic with about 50,000 responses gathered afterward. The data suggests that the workplace will no longer be a single location but an ecosystem of a variety of locations. The purpose of the office will be to provide inspiring destinations that strengthen cultural connection, learning, bonding with customers and colleagues, and support innovation.
Cushman & Wakefield expects demand to remain steady balancing social distancing’s relaxing of space density with fewer workers occupying space simultaneously.
Ran Holman, who leads Cushman & Wakefield’s Dallas office, said that new workplace strategies will be influenced by local markets. “As these ecosystems develop,” he said, “they will develop with the character of the marketplace.”
According to the study, three-quarters of workers said collaboration has been easier with remote-work tools—an increase of 10 percent over pre-COVID respondents. Most of the collaboration, though, has been task-oriented. What’s missing from remote working are opportunities for informal learning and mentorship.
“Where relationships exist, they can be maintained [through technology],” Holman said. “It is more difficult to get a sense for somebody you don’t know when you’re not face-to-face.”
Dallas-Fort Worth has been a top-performing office market for a long stretch. According to second quarter numbers from Cresa, the region has a current office vacancy of 16.6 percent, up just a bit from 16.1 percent for the first three months of the year.
Holman said Cushman & Wakefield’s data suggests size requirements by tenants will mostly remain unchanged. “We expect current real estate footprint sizes to remain steady,” he said. “Flexible working practices may result in fewer people in the office at any one time, but that space-saving is offset by the need to accommodate social distancing in the office.”

Choosing the Right Ballet Barres for Your Dance Studio
May 22, 2023Ballet barres are an essential piece of equipment for any dance studio, regardless of the type of dance performed. They provide a platform for dancers to perform exercises that improve flexibility, strength, and endurance. When selecting ballet barres for your studio, there are two main options to consider: Portable and Wall/Floor-Mounted.
Benefits of Portable Ballet Barres
Flexibility: Portable barres can be easily moved around the studio as needed.
Assembly: Portable barres are easy to assemble and may be the only option if you’re not allowed to install fixtures in the studio.
Dual-side use: Portable barres can be used from both sides, making them ideal for large classes.
Adjustable height: Portable barres can be adjusted to accommodate tall and short dancers.
Benefits of Wall/Floor-Mounted Ballet Barres
Stability: Wall/Floor-Mounted barres are more stable when properly installed.
Permanent installation: Wall/Floor-Mounted barres are installed once and stay in place, providing convenience.
Aesthetics: Wall/Floor-Mounted barres create an elegant, professional look in a dedicated dance studio.
Material: Choose between natural wood or aluminum for the barre, based on personal preference.
Wood type: Beech is the most common wood used for ballet barres, but oak and maple are also options.
Custom or ready-made: Measure your studio space to determine the length of the barre needed.
Installation: Consider height and whether to install the barre yourself or hire a contractor.
Brackets: Choose between fixed, adjustable, or double adjustable brackets.
Ultimately, the choice of ballet barres depends on the needs of your studio, such as the size of classes, the presence of adult and child dancers, and the availability of space.

Napoleon Perdis lenders have accepted a $1.6 million proposal to save the company that will see its 28 stores stay open and more than 250 employees keep their jobs.
Wang will undertake a restructuring of this business which will want to stabilise Australian operations before taking a look at international opportunities for the company, including in China.
The eponymous chain’s founder Napoleon Perdis wasn’t in attendance at the next meeting of creditors last night but will sign over his stocks and remain involved with the industry as a creative consultant.
Creditors voted overwhelmingly in favour of this deed of company arrangement proposition, which was supported by administrators Torres as an excellent choice to liquidation.
Unsecured creditors, including landlords and suppliers, are owed up to $26.68 million and are expected to obtain a yield between four and 13 cents on the dollar under the KUBA deal.
Significant providers Priceline and Terry White pharmacies affirmed the deed of company arrangement proposition.
Wang informs us she intends to try out the brand in multiple overseas markets and will begin testing the waters after Christmas 2019. | <urn:uuid:a070d9e7-f8f4-4fe6-b321-34b83cb61584> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://darwinexchange.com.au/a-1-6-million-deal-to-restructure-napoleon-perdis/ | 2024-04-13T21:20:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.957301 | 227 |
The Sioux Falls Argus Leader is a Gannett newspaper far out on the High Plains of South Dakota. As the biggest newspaper in the state and the only newspaper in the state's biggest city, it is extremely influential. The Argus Leader is read by tens-of-thousands of people in the Southeast corner of the state, where the largest concentration of the state's people live. The state's small town dailies and weeklies often run Argus stories in their pages--or Argus stories which are picked up by the Associated Press--because they don't have political reporters. The ripple effect of an Argus story, therefore, is large. The newspaper's reporting and selection of stories determines, to a large extent, the information available to the citizens in the state. The Argus, in short, is critical to the proper functioning of the democratic process in South Dakota, as I've noted. This site is completely dedicated to analyzing the most important US Senate race in the nation, one which could determine the ability of legislation to move through the US Senate, the world's oldest deliberative body, and therefore the course of American democracy. The Argus, in other words, has a serious responsibility to properly report on political matters relating to the candidates, Tom Daschle and John Thune.
The star political reporter of the Argus for decades has been Dave Kranz. Yesterday, the executive editor of the Argus, Randell Beck, responded to some recent blogospheric criticism of Kranz. Beck said that Kranz is "the best political reporter in the region" and "one of the finest, most honest, credible reporters in the region." Beck also said that the criticism was "crap" and driven by a "violent" internet "cabal" of "yahoos" and "jokers," who are full of "hatred" and "vitriol" and lacked "guts" because they hid "behind their computer screens" and wouldn't face him "man to man." Beck then went on to highlight the importance of debating issues "without calling each other names."
As South Dakota Politics has noted, Beck did not address the specific criticism of the bloggers, which deserves serious consideration. About one year ago, the blogger Sibby Online discovered that Kranz and Daschle were close in college. They organized a mock Democratic political convention together at SDSU in 1968. Daschle was the President of the Political Science Club and Kranz was his "Publicity Chairman." Kranz then wrote about the event for the college newspaper and lauded Daschle's "tireless" efforts, but did not disclose that he was also involved in the event. Both Daschle and Kranz also supported Eugene McCarthy for President in 1968. When confronted with this information, Beck responded "He works for me and I'm not going to allow Dave to get into a pissing match with a guy who makes this stuff up." Beck did not explain what was "made up." None of the 1968 information, which was unknown until Sibby's discovery, has been disclosed by the Argus.
When Daschle and his first wife, who were both staffers for former US Senator James Abourezk, moved back to South Dakota in 1976 in preparation for Daschle's run for Congress in 1978, Kranz was the managing editor of the Mitchell Daily Republic and noted their return. The Daschles took over the Senator's state operation, were aggressively reorganzing the Abourezk office, and were improving their press outreach. According to one of the memos uncovered in recent weeks by SDP, one of the Abourezk staffers dispatched to Mitchell reported back that the Senator had received "good coverage" the previous week and that the paper's "Managing Editor is Dave Kranz, 30, formally of Austin Minn, and Watertown S.D. Went to SDSU (Mu U. with Tom D. [Daschle] and Tom Klinkel [Daschle's brother-in-law] Very much a strong Demo. and have been attending county demo. functions together." The memo also said that "Dave Kranz of paper is checking out some of the local biggees in Mitchell to see how much support we have to do something." Kranz was also helping to undermine Republican Congressman Jim Abdnor: "Mitchell paper is going to expose Abdnor on rating by National Alliance of S. Citizens next week."
A second memo disclosed last week indicated that Kranz was giving the Abourezk organization advice on how to improve press coverage and win votes, such as by doing more "hokey things": "In addition, Dave feels Jim is not doing the hocky [sic] things necessary to be elected again. Like sending out calendars, X-Mas cards, birthday, marrages, weddings, and other hocky [sic] letters to SD people. The question is not if its hocky or not--but rather for many people its the only chance they will ever receive a personal card, greetings, or thank-you from someone they will or have voted for." The staffer also designated Kranz a "friendly editor." The memo also noted that Kranz wanted to remain confidential.
When Kranz left the Mitchell paper for the Argus in 1983, he wrote in his final column that "Provoking thought is a must in a community that is searching for ways to grow. In those provacative [sic] terms, I have heard the disatisfaction [sic] and the allegations of bias. Yet I do not apologize for any one position I have stood for." SDP recently recounted these complaints:
Later, in 1986, the lieutenant governor of South Dakota wrote a piece for the Argus Leader excoriating Kranz for his Democratic bias. In 1990, the New York Times noted that the Democratic Senate candidate that year "seemed to take his campaign script from The Sioux Falls Argus Leader," a phenomenon observed this week with Kranz' piece and Hildebrand's subsequent mass e-mail. In 1990, Kranz was the managing editor of the AL, and a piece in Roll Call reported that it was Kranz who was behind the "hysterical bashing" of the Republican Senate candidate. In 1999, Senator Larry Pressler wrote a letter to the editor of the Argus Leader stating that Kranz is "my longtime nemesis.... He is a good writer, but intellectually flawed in that he lets his biases show through." Last summer, Jeff Gannon ran a series of articles revealing Kranz' bias.
When Kranz was City Editor of the Argus from 1986 to 1989, his assistant City Editor was Steve Erpenbach, who went on to serve as the Democratic press spokesman during the 1990 Senatorial election. Erpenbach is now Senator Daschle's state director.
In 1997, Daschle's media advisor Karl Struble explained how his media operation used the Argus in the 1996 Senate campaign: "The press ate it up. Our campaign systematically doled out the information piece by piece to reporters in D.C. and South Dakota. The result was a series of damaging articles. ... We used the headlines generated as validators for our ads." As SDP noted above, this pattern was precisely repeated in recent weeks--after a blatant example of pro-Daschle shilling from Kranz, the Daschle campaign reprinted the Kranz piece in a mass email fundraiser. Even though Beck has denounced such practices in the past, he did not say anything about the Daschle campaign's maneuver.
In the 2002 Senate race, the Democrats actually printed up professional stickers which said "We Love Dave Kranz" and distributed them. Despite such blatant gestures, Kranz has been ready and willing in the past to criticize other South Dakota newspapers for bias and for being a “partisan Republican voice” and a “glory and praise pamphlet for Republican policy.”
As this blog as others have noted, as literally dozens of articles critical of Daschle have appeared nationally, they have been systematically ignored by the Argus. As a result, voters don't have all the information they need to make an informed decision this November. In short, the Argus Leader is strangling democracy. Since the stakes of the South Dakota Senate race are so high, all the citizens of the republic should be concerned.
The core question at present is whether the allegations of bias deserve attention or should be dismissed as "crap," which the Argus editor advocates. Are bloggers justified in raising questions about the ability of Dave Kranz to objectively report about Tom Daschle? It seems to me that such questions are legitimate.
I should say in closing that I personally like Dave Kranz, in part because we both share the same dorky interest in the history of South Dakota politics. But for the sake of the democratic process and the basic legitimacy of our elections, we need to seriously consider whether he should be writing and interpreting news related to Tom Daschle. It's a difficult thing to say, but the reporting style of Dave Kranz should not determine the outcome of this election. It should be determined by voters who have all the necessary information at their disposal to make informed judgments. | <urn:uuid:ee9ae465-c048-404f-921d-ed050ccff0d0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://daschlevthune.typepad.com/daschle_v_thune/2004/04/the_argus_leade_1.html | 2024-04-13T23:06:13Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.970555 | 1,933 |

Botox Questions and Information
Multiple times a day, Dr. Steven Davis is asked questions regarding the process behind botox. Where is the proper place to inject? How are injections going to affect my face? Why do some people complain about their results?Watch Dr. Steven Davis discuss Botox injections:

Jeuveau is a neurotoxin, like Botox, that’s been approved by the FDA to temporarily improve the appearance of frown lines between the eyebrows. It’s made through a state-of-the-art manufacturing process called Hi-Pure technology.
Article: Jeuveau: The Botox Alternative
You’ll have a better long-term result if you schedule your follow-ups before you reach that point, because Botox has a cumulative effect. With each round of injections, the targeted muscle becomes progressively weaker and eventually atrophies. As that happens, it’ll also allow you to space your treatments a little further apart each time.

Breast Implants vs. Breast Lift: What’s the Difference?
Dr. Davis discusses the differences between breast implants and a breast lift on an episode of The Plastic Surgery Revolution. Not only is it crucial to know about the process behind the treatment, but it’s also just as important to understand which procedure is best for YOU and your body.
Podcast: The Difference Between Breast Implants and Breast Lift
What To Do If You Have Trouble with Breast Implants?
The life of breast implants, both silicone gel and saline, varies by person. Some may keep their original implants for 20 or 30 years. But, most will need to have them replaced much sooner than that. As a general rule of thumb, the older the breast implants, the greater the risk of developing complications. So, plan to replace them preemptively.

About Liposuction Procedures
What’s New In Liposuction?
But there’s been so much evolution recently in the ways we remove fat that a technology that’s just a few years old can quickly begin to feel outdated. The cannulas got smaller and better. And in some forms of liposuction, instead of sucking out solid blocks of fat, surgeons are now melting it, which enables them to remove it more evenly.

Definition: The Quality of port infrastrucutre indicator is one of the components of the Global Competitiveness Index published annually by the World Economic Forum (WEF). It represents an assessment of the quality of port facilities in a given country based on data from the WEF Executive Opinion Survey, a long-running and extensive survey tapping the opinions of over 14,000 business leaders in 144 countries. The score for port infrastrucutre quality is based on only one question. The respondents are asked to rate the port facilities and inland waterways in their country of operation on a scale from 1 (underdeveloped) to 7 (extensive and efficient by international standards). For landlocked countries, the respondents are asked to rate the access to port facilities and inland waterways on a scale from 1 (impossible) to 7 (easy). The individual responses are aggregated to produce a country score. | <urn:uuid:8ea3dad4-92d4-4cf7-a136-c67360bde96a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://de.theglobaleconomy.com/Switzerland/seaports_quality/ | 2024-04-13T22:44:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.697046 | 259 |

What is Association Learning?
Association learning, often referred to in the context of association rule learning, is a rule-based machine learning method for discovering interesting relations between variables in large databases. It is intended to identify strong rules discovered in databases using some measures of interestingness. This method is widely used for market basket analysis, where it is used to find relationships between items that are frequently bought together.
The most famous example of association learning is the "beer and diapers" story, where a retail store supposedly discovered through data analysis that men often bought beer and diapers together. This story is anecdotal, but it illustrates the kind of insights that can be gained from association learning.
Key Concepts in Association Learning
Association learning is based on the concept of rules, which are implications of the form X → Y, where X and Y are disjoint itemsets. A typical association rule in a market basket analysis might state that if a customer buys bread and butter (X), they are likely to also buy milk (Y).
There are three key metrics used in association learning:
: This is the proportion of transactions in the database that contain the itemset. In other words, it's the probability that a transaction contains both X and Y.
- Confidence: This is a measure of the reliability of the inference made by the rule. For a rule X → Y, it's the probability that a transaction containing X also contains Y.
- Lift: This is the ratio of the observed support to that expected if X and Y were independent. A lift value greater than 1 indicates that the presence of X increases the likelihood that Y will also be present in the transaction.
Association Rule Learning Algorithms
There are several algorithms designed to efficiently find association rules in data. The most well-known of these are:
- Apriori Algorithm: This algorithm identifies the itemsets that are frequently occurring (i.e., have support above a user-specified threshold) and then uses these itemsets to generate association rules that meet the confidence threshold.
- Frequent Pattern (FP) Growth Algorithm: This is an improvement over the Apriori algorithm that uses a special data structure called an FP-tree to store the database in a compressed form. It is often faster than Apriori because it reduces the number of database scans.
- Eclat Algorithm: This algorithm uses a depth-first search strategy to count the support of itemsets and uses a vertical database format where each item contains the list of transactions that contain that item.
Applications of Association Learning
Association learning has applications in various domains, including:
- Retail: For market basket analysis to understand customer buying habits and to drive sales through promotions and store layout optimizations.
- Healthcare: For identifying combinations of symptoms and diagnoses that frequently occur together, which can help in the diagnosis of new patients.
- Web Usage Mining: For analyzing patterns in web usage data to improve website design and personalized content delivery.
- Finance: For fraud detection by identifying unusual patterns of transactions.
Challenges in Association Learning
While association learning can be powerful, it also faces several challenges, such as:
- Large Number of Rules: Association learning can produce a large number of rules, many of which may not be useful or could be redundant.
- Setting Thresholds: Choosing the correct support and confidence thresholds can be difficult without domain knowledge.
- Interpretation: The rules generated are purely statistical and do not necessarily imply causation.
Association learning is a valuable tool for uncovering hidden patterns in large datasets. It is particularly useful in domains where understanding the relationships between different items can lead to actionable insights. However, it requires careful interpretation and a good understanding of the domain to apply the findings effectively.

The world owes you nothing.
Nobody does favors for anyone, and that too, for free. If you make someone work, you have to pay them for their services. That is the law and also the ethical thing to do. However, small companies usually find ways to blackmail their employees in times of hardship. When there are very few jobs available in the market, companies start underpaying their employees because they know they have nowhere else to go. The employees accept the pay because they have bills to pay and no other option to pick. Suing the company is too much hassle and sometimes employees can’t even pay lawyer fees. So they let things be and the company keeps taking advantage of them.
This guy on Reddit shared his experience of working for a company on a contract. He noticed people working overtime and was surprised they aren’t even getting paid for it. However, the employees had something else in mind. Scroll down below to read the brilliant revenge story:
So the guy worked for the company as an independent contractor for a while.
The company didn’t offer him a lot of money, but work was slow for him so he accepted the offer.
The guy tried to leave as soon as possible as he was working on a flat rate for the company.
The guy was surprised to see some of the employees still on site even after their work hours should be over.
The guy just assumed it must be a busy place and the staff must be pulling down overtime.
The Senior Engineer explained to him that the company is understaffed so everyone has to pull extra hours.
However, he mentioned that they are not getting paid for the overtime. This really made the IT guy curious.
So the IT guy tried to fish out some information from the Systems Admin.
The guy told the Systems Admin that it is illegal for the company to not pay overtime, but the Systems Admin already knew that.
Then the Systems Admin finally revealed the staff’s big plan, and it was mind-blowing.
The staff was keeping their timesheets up to date so they get exactly what they worked for in the end.
A few months later, the guy received an email from the Systems Admin asking for the guy’s help to act as a witness.
The IT guy agreed and talked to the investigator and provided him all kinds of proof.
The IT guy received another email from the Systems Admin saying the claim was successful and they received a huge check as compensation.
Well, these guys were absolute geniuses. What did you think about this strategy?

When it comes to liens in Florida, the length of time they remain “good” can be a source of confusion for many. Different types of liens have different expiration dates, which can vary depending on various factors such as the type of debt, the property in question, and more. In this article, we will explore how long a lien is good for in Florida, examining the various factors that can impact its lifespan, you should compare first debt settlement vs debt consolidation to know more about these great options.
Understanding Liens in Florida
A lien is a legal claim made against a property by a creditor to secure payment for a debt owed by the property owner. Once a lien is placed on a property, it can be difficult to sell or transfer ownership of the property until the debt is paid off and the lien is removed. In Florida, there are several types of liens, each governed by specific rules and regulations.
The most common types of liens in Florida include:
- Construction liens
- Judgment liens
- Tax liens
- Mechanic’s liens
- Homeowners’ association (HOA) liens
Each of these liens has a different lifespan, which is determined by various factors such as the type of lien and the amount owed. In the following sections, we will explore the lifespan of each of these liens in greater detail.
Construction liens are used to secure payment for contractors and subcontractors who have provided labor or materials for a construction project. In Florida, a construction lien remains attached to a property for one year after the work is completed or the materials are supplied. However, if the contractor initiates a lawsuit to foreclose on the lien, the lien will remain in effect until the lawsuit is resolved.
Judgment liens are used to secure payment for a court-ordered judgment against a debtor. In Florida, a judgment lien remains attached to a property for 10 years from the date the judgment is entered. However, if the creditor initiates a lawsuit to renew the judgment lien, it can be renewed for an additional 10 years.
Tax liens are used to secure payment for unpaid taxes owed to the government. In Florida, a tax lien remains attached to a property for seven years from the date the lien is filed. However, if the lien is not paid off within that time frame, the government can initiate a lawsuit to foreclose on the lien, which can extend the lifespan of the lien.
Mechanic’s liens are used to secure payment for repairs or improvements made to a property. In Florida, a mechanic’s lien remains attached to a property for one year from the date the work was completed. However, if the contractor initiates a lawsuit to foreclose on the lien, the lien will remain in effect until the lawsuit is resolved.
Homeowners’ Association (HOA) Liens
HOA liens are used to secure payment for unpaid fees or assessments owed to a homeowners’ association. In Florida, an HOA lien remains attached to a property for five years from the date the lien is filed. However, if the lien is not paid off within that time frame, the HOA can initiate a lawsuit to foreclose on the lien, which can extend the lifespan of the lien.
In conclusion, the length of time a lien remains “good” in Florida depends on various factors such as the type of lien, the amount owed, and whether or not a lawsuit has been initiated to foreclose on the lien. Understanding these rules and regulations can be crucial for property owners and creditors alike, as a failure to comply with them can result in significant legal and financial consequences. If you have questions or concerns about liens in Florida, it is always best to consult with a qualified attorney who can provide guidance and advice tailored to your specific situation.
How long does a lien last in Florida?
In Florida, a lien can last for up to 20 years from the date it was filed.
What is the duration of a construction lien in Florida?
A construction lien in Florida typically lasts for one year, but it can be extended for a total of up to 20 years if certain requirements are met.

Dental veneers, also known as porcelain veneers or laminates, are individualized, thin, tooth-colored shells designed to encase the surface of teeth. These veneers are utilized to enhance the aesthetic appeal of damaged teeth by reinstating their form, dimension, hue, or size. They are frequently employed as a substitute for dental crowns and are the ideal remedy for an array of dental predicaments.
For individuals seeking prompt and efficient dental solutions, composite resin veneers are an outstanding cosmetic treatment option to improve their smile. This treatment can be accomplished within a day; however, it is recommended that patients avoid consuming food and beverages that can stain teeth, as these veneers are comparatively more porous.
Composite resin veneers can last up to 8 years with the adequate cleaning and maintenance.
When it comes to making minor adjustments to teeth, porcelain veneers are frequently the preferred choice among patients. The strength and ability of porcelain veneers to resist staining make them an exceptional alternative for individuals seeking to enhance the appearance of their smile.
Porcelain veneers can last up to 12 years with the adequate cleaning and maintenance.
At Denta Care, Dr. Ivette Dominguez Crespo will provide you with the best care and Veneers that you will be extremely happy with!

Nitrogen generation systems have multiple applications across several industries globally, from food packing, engineering, and aerospace, among many more. Businesses that require large volumes of nitrogen for various tasks such as storage, production, or transportation appliances need cost-effective solutions to acquiring sufficient nitrogen for their operations. That is the reason why purchasing a nitrogen generator is more reliable, since producing nitrogen on-site is far more economical than contracting a nitrogen generator company for a lease.
Before switching to nitrogen generation, it is advisable to consult a team of professionals who can give you the right advice for the right nitrogen generator. Consulting experts in the nitrogen generation industry helps you assess and determine your specific needs about the level of use and application.
What factors to consider in selecting a nitrogen generator
Nitrogen generators come in different sizes, shapes, and models, confusing a first-time buyer. If you are well informed when buying the equipment, you can choose the best and most suitable nitrogen generator for your current and future needs. Apart from the cost of nitrogen, there are other vital factors to guide you in making the best decision.
It is advisable to ensure that you are aware of the level of nitrogen used in your line of business to identify which type of nitrogen generator is best suited for you. If you are not sure of the actual amount used in your business, you could buy a too big generator for your requirements, which can end up being costly for no reason. If your nitrogen needs exceed those produced by the nitrogen generator, you are likely to experience problems with reduced production.
The purity of nitrogen being generated is vital when looking for a suitable nitrogen generator, especially for nitrogen used in food packing since it requires almost 0% oxygen. Suppose you are selecting membrane technology to help you maintain purity in the nitrogen generated. In that case, it is advisable to make the right decision between Pressure Swing Adsorption, which has a purity level of more than 99.5%, or Membrane Nitrogen generators which have a purity level that is lower than 99.5%.
Nitrogen generators usually come in different sizes and shapes, which calls for a thorough assessment of the space in your facility that will be best for the generator. Knowing the actual amount of space required helps you make the best decision on the type of system that fits within your limitation and ensuring that the intended needs are met.
Why nitrogen generators are important
Having an on-site nitrogen generator drastically reduces your long-term operational cost since you constantly contact suppliers to deliver when there is a sudden shortage. Therefore all the supply constraints are eliminated, and you can generate your nitrogen whenever you need it. It also enhances the efficiency of all your operations, making you increase production. | <urn:uuid:1198aa86-f615-4002-bf94-6c45a5329ee4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dezzain.com/stem/technology/how-to-choose-the-best-nitrogen-generator/ | 2024-04-13T22:20:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.94353 | 546 |
Aerospace Engineering 6210
Advanced Dynamics I
School of Aerospace Engineering
Georgia Institute of Technology
Prof. Dewey H. Hodges
Office: SST Building, 200-C; Phone: 4-8201
Location: Guggenheim 246
Time: MWF 12:20 – 1:10 p.m.
Required Texts and Optional Software:
The book Dynamics: Theory and Application of Kane’s Method by Roithmayr and Hodges
Please download, install, and follow the Get-Started directions at:
Purpose: The main purpose of this course is to equip students with the knowledge and the capabilities they need in order to derive equations of motion for dynamical systems. Although the content of the course is limited to rigid-body kinematics and dynamics, the principles can be adapted for application to more complicated problems, including those with continuous members.
Conduct: The lectures will cover theory and will include illustrative examples. Grades are based on in-class examinations and out-of-class solution of approximately 90 problems. Each problem has been designed with a purpose in mind, and the students should endeavor not only to obtain solutions but also to ascertain the point of each problem in relation to the material that has been presented up until that time. The homework assignments will be collected periodically and, among them, certain problems will be graded; exactly which problems will be graded will not be announced until the problems are collected. At the end of the semester, students may choose to turn in a complete and corrected set of all assigned problems which can serve to improve their grades (see next paragraph for more detail). My office hours are Tuesdays, 1:00 – 2:30 p.m., and Thursdays, 1:30 – 3:00 p.m..
- Late work will not be accepted unless you have a bona fide excuse (illness certified by doctor’s note, death in immediate family).
- Homework papers must use the same notation used in this course.
- Homework must be neat and professional in appearance. Messy homework papers will not be graded. No cross outs of any kind may appear anywhere.
- Use a straightedge to draw all lines and diagrams.
- Use only good quality paper. Paper torn from a notebook may not be used.
- Explain what you are doing at each step. Credit is given mainly for the method, not the answer.
- Put a box around your final answer to help the grader.
- Write on only the front side of each sheet of paper on all homework papers.
- Staple pages together; “dog-ears” and paperclips will not be accepted.
- Print your name at the upper right corner of the first sheet of paper.
- Only conceptual collaboration is allowed. This means that you may discuss problems with another student. However, all substantive work — such as calculations, derivations, and all written work — must be your own.
- Very similar homework solutions will be viewed as plagiarism and may be submitted as Honor Code violations.
- Use of solutions from prior semesters or any other source (such as solution manuals and web resources) is definitely not allowed and will be treated as a breach of the Honor Code.
Grading Percentages: Two tests will be given during the semester, and there will also be a final exam, counting 20%, 20%, and 40%, respectively. There is the possibility of unannounced quizzes which, if given, plus the graded problems of the problem sets assigned during the semester, will account for 20% of the grade. A complete, corrected set of problems turned in at the final exam can add as much as 3% to the grade. This addition of 3% is only appropriate for someone on the borderline between two grades. In this complete set of problems all graded problems must be corrected in light of any marks or classroom solutions. Also, all previously missing problems must be added to the set.

Choosing the Right Size Bin
When it comes to renting bins for your junk removal needs, one of the most important factors to consider is the size of the bin. It’s crucial to choose a bin that can accommodate all of your junk without any hassle. To determine the appropriate size, assess the amount and type of junk you need to dispose of. If you’re unsure, it’s always better to go for a slightly larger bin to avoid having to order a second one later on. This will save you both time and money. Learn more about the topic with this suggested external resource. Explore this external guide, find extra information and new perspectives on the subject discussed in this article.
Researching Local Bin Rental Companies
Before making any commitments, it’s essential to research local bin rental companies in your area. Look for reputable companies that have positive reviews and a track record of providing excellent service. Make sure to compare prices, delivery options, and bin sizes offered by different companies. It’s also a good idea to reach out to the rental companies and ask any questions you may have regarding their services.
Understanding the Rental Terms and Conditions
Before finalizing the rental agreement, take the time to read and understand the terms and conditions provided by the bin rental company. Pay close attention to details such as the rental period, weight limits, and any additional fees that may apply. Familiarize yourself with the company’s policies regarding prohibited items and the proper way to load the bin. Being well-informed will help you avoid any surprises or issues during the rental process.
Preparing Your Junk for Disposal
Prior to renting the bin, it’s crucial to prepare your junk for disposal. Start by sorting your items into categories such as recyclables, donations, and trash. This will make it easier to unload and dispose of your junk efficiently. It’s also important to remove any hazardous materials from the items you plan to dispose of. Paints, chemicals, and batteries should be handled separately and disposed of according to local regulations.
Optimizing Bin Placement
When the bin arrives, consider the best placement for optimal convenience and efficiency. Place the bin in an area that allows easy access for loading and unloading. It should be positioned on a flat, sturdy surface to avoid any tipping or damage. If you’re unsure about the best location, consult with the bin rental company for guidance. They can help you determine the safest and most efficient spot for your bin.
Properly Loading the Bin
When it’s time to load the bin, follow proper loading techniques to maximize space and prevent any safety hazards. Start by placing larger, heavier items at the bottom and distribute the weight evenly throughout the bin. Break down larger items, such as furniture, to optimize space. Avoid overfilling the bin or creating any safety hazards by ensuring that the junk is below the bin’s fill line. Lastly, close and secure the bin properly to prevent any items from falling out during transportation.
By following these tips, you can ensure a smooth and efficient junk removal process. Renting bins for your junk removal needs doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With careful planning, research, and proper loading techniques, you can dispose of your junk responsibly and effortlessly. Supplement your reading by checking out the suggested external source.

MENA governments to direct their ICT spending to digital transformation says IDC
According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) latest report, governments in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) spent US$12.8 billion on information and communications technologies (ICTs) in 2019. Experts at IDC expect this figure to go up during the coming years at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8%, crossing the US$15 billion mark by 2023. ‘Governments across the region are under mounting pressure to become both more efficient and more effective. However, this is proving to be a troublesome task as many government organisations are simply not prepared for digital redesign. Whether it’s finding ways to integrate 5G, AI and Blockchain or protect against intrusions on digital trust, government agencies have a whole new set of IT skills to learn,’ noted IDC’s Group Vice President and Regional Managing Director for the Middle East, Turkey, and Africa Jyoti Lalchandani. | <urn:uuid:f98e9de5-5d44-4a5a-8106-477f12bea720> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dig.watch/updates/mena-governments-direct-their-ict-spending-digital-transformation-says-idc | 2024-04-13T22:19:22Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.943497 | 212 |

A Florida man was arrested last week in the 2018 beating death of a peeping Tom whom he caught watching him and his girlfriend in bed, court documents show.
Victor Vickery, 30, was taken into custody Thursday on manslaughter charges in the 2018 killing of Asaad Akar, according to the documents.
The documents say that Vickery and his girlfriend, Samantha Hobi, were in bed at her Fort Lauderdale home on the night of July 2 when they heard a noise at the window. Vickery ran outside naked and found Akar with his genitals exposed.
Let our news meet your inbox. The news and stories that matters, delivered weekday mornings.
When officers arrived at Hobi’s home on the night of the incident, the documents say, they found Vickery covered in blood and icing his foot. He told officers that it was swollen from kicking Akar in the head, the documents say.
Vickery told authorities he’d chased the man down and held him until police arrived. He added that Akar had looked in Hobi’s window before, but police hadn’t gotten there in time to arrest him.
The officer investigating the case wrote that he found evidence confirming Akar’s history of peeping at different addresses in the neighborhood. Akar had a history of arrests for the crime, the officer said.
Akar was taken to a local hospital where he died overnight, the documents say.
Vickery’s girlfriend initially told police that she also ran outside and saw Akar on top of Vickery and choking him, the documents say. So she hit Akar with a shovel and called 911 while the men traded punches.
On July 23, Hobi told authorities that Vickery had told her to lie to police, the documents say. She didn’t see Akar touch Vickery at all, nor did she use a shovel.
The Sun-Sentinal newspaperreportedthat Hobi has twice been granted restraining orders against Vickery, who at the time of Akar’s death was out on bond after being arrested in a felony sex crimes case.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Vickery has a lawyer. He couldn’t be reached for comment.

Today is the last day of my Fall Digital Master Class. We wrap about noon. We had a great group of photographers this week - Thanks guys and girls. Also, thank you to all of our sponsors, including ExpoDisc for their generous support for the class. Everyone headed over to our home last night for a delicious gourmet grill out and the class pic. The nice thing about the party at the house is that the class gets to see, first hand, exactly how we do everything. We went to about 10:30 p. m. last night - with questions and wonderful conversation right up to the end.
My good friend, Mary Mannix, stopped by, after being on the road for a few weeks, and gave the class a very informative update on the new Canon cameras. Rob Kumbler, my buddy for years, and owner of K&R PhotoDigital, our biggest and best Pro dealer here in town, and our local Canon and Nikon dealer covered the Nikon side - equal billing you know.
The Master Class is always fun and each time something really special happens. This time around, Peter, all the way from California, was joined right here in good old Cincy, by his wife, Maria. She flew in so they could celebrate their 10th anniversary together. What a great week for Peter - Digital Master Class, anniversary, Maria - it just doesn't get any better than that. We were all happy to be part of their celebration. Congrats to you both and safe travels back home.
How about a few news items and then I'm off to class.

Most of us always show the bride and groom kissing or looking at each other. I do the same thing. But, when making those images, I also go in really close, just showing lips, hands, eyes, etc. These really closeup images allow us to see beyond the wedding couple into their feelings and emotions they have for each other. Enjoy, --David
Photoshop, LumaPix, Actions and more. We got back to the computers yesterday after two days of on-location shooting. We took some time to review and recap the lighting, posing and composition aspects of the images. A comparison of "Highlight Tone Priority" - On vs. Off amazed most of the class, myself included - more on that next week. Wednesday is computer day where we discuss the best apps for the digital wedding/portrait studio which include Photoshop, Lightroom, and LumaPix. Today, we will continue with Photoshop and get into - my favorite part of the Master Class - sales and marketing. Hey, if we are going to put all the effort into learning this stuff, we better know how to sell it. Again, thanks to our sponsors, Tallyn, Lexjet, Zookbinders, Pictocolor, and Portrait Weavers for their prizes and support. We had five more happy winners yesterday!! How about a little blog news and more ...
Hey gang... got to go, class starts soon, see ya tomorrow, everybody. --David

This was one of my favorite images from yesterday's shoot. The bride's veil was pulled out on both sides in order to frame and separate her from the background. the off camera lighting was supplied by bouncing the light off the opposite wall giving us that wonderful lighting on her face. I balanced the ambient to about a stop less than the flash in order that the bride would really "pop" from the setting. Enjoy! --David
It was a long, full, informational, picture packed day for everyone yesterday as we finished the second day of our Digital Master Class. One of the highlights of the day was giving away some of the door prizes so generously donated by our sponsors. We have over $1200 worth of wonderful door-prizes we are giving away this week. A great BIG thanks to Colorvision for the Spyder 2 Pro, NIK for their Color FX program and image enhancement books, Neil Enterprises for their peel and stick albums and Scott Tallyn for a lot of the Canon goodies. Instead of hitting news today, I thought I would walk you through some of the images we did yesterday - so here we go.
We spent about 2 hours there discussing my favorite things - lighting and composition. The cathedral has so many cool locations to shoot, we could have stayed there much longer. By the way, this is where I had my wedding this past Saturday. Here are a couple of the images from the morning shoot.
I love this first image of the bride and groom in Black and White. Look how I have the pillars behind them leading the eye right up to them. The off-camera direction of light was created by just bouncing my on camera flash off the nearby light colored marble wall. I think it looks pretty cool.

This is a shot from the past weekend's wedding. It was taken near the end of the evening after most of the guests departed. I wanted to create some long, strong shadows with the last few people on the dance floor. I had my assistant head to the other side of the room and hide behind the revelers. I was firing my remote controlled Quantum T5d at 1/4 power which created the shadows I wanted. I used a Sigma 8mm Fisheye lens to enhance the shadows and unusual room features, raised the ISO to 1600 on my Canon 40D, slowed the exposure to 1/20 second at F4.0 for the final image. Enjoy! --David
Here is what is in the works for upcoming posts. Next week I will be doing an entire review of that little known Canon camera feature called "Highlight Tone Priority" available on Canon's three new cameras. We will take an in-depth look at just how it works, why it works, and why you want to shoot with it "Enabled" regardless of whether you shoot JPEG's or RAW. Also, in development is an article on "Specularity" - when you want it, and when you don't, and how it can be controlled. Other topics include; high ISO shooting and noise reduction, more "flash" techniques, and more Photoshop tutorials. Stay tuned - a lot of "good stuff" is on the way.
We wrapped the first day of my Digital Master Class yesterday and are off to a good start. More on-location shooting today. The only downside is the weather - 95+ degrees here in Cincy, again. August proved to be record setting and it looks like September may also break all high temperature records. Another "hot" 95+ degrees scheduled for today. But heck, no problem - we are starting today's class with a hypnosis session where the suggestion will be that every time we are outside, we are to think Alaska - "...you are getting sleepy..."
How about a little news and then a little technique - "off to the races."
Here is how we did it. I pulled the reflector off of my Quantum T5d showing only the bare bulb. Next, I borrowed some notebook paper from one of the students to wrap around the flash tube as you can see in this first image.
This basically created a new light source with a very narrow beam of light. The "tricky" part was getting the "snoot" light pointed properly to create the "Hollywood" lighting pattern I wanted on my bride's face. My "Hollywood" lighting pattern is simply a variation of the classical "Rembrandt" lighting that artists and photographers have been using for years. Shellee, my assistant on the shot, positioned the flash so she could not see the far side of the bride's nose - so neither could the light she was holding, but she could still see plenty of the far side of the bride's cheek - and so could the light. Check out the second image.
Now if the light was held in the position described above, we should see an image of our bride with the dramatic, hard shadowed, directional light on her face, with the light falling off quickly over the rest of the scene to drive the viewer's attention easily to our bride's face. I think the resulting image does just that. Pretty cool, I think. --Enjoy.

This is one of my favorite images from Saturday's wedding. I envisioned a B&W wide angle shot of the bride against this very large picture window with the highlights "blown out" so that the "viewer's eye" would be brought directly to the bride. The image was made with a Canon EOS 1D Mark III fitted with Sigma's 12-24 mm wide-angle zoom lens at 12mm. Exposure was F5.6 at 1/50 second. ISO was set at 1000 to facilitate the the "high key" effect.
The image was then brought into Photoshop, desaturated with mid tones boosted just a bit with the "levels" adjustment. Next I duplicated the layer, added a 10 pixel Gausian blur and faded the blurred layer back to about 30%, then flattened the file. This gave the final image a slightly ethereal look that further enhanced my final result. Hope you like it. --David
Today we start my Digital Master Class. We have 19 photographers from all around the USA joining us this week for a photography, Photoshop, marketing, and sales "brain fry". It's a great time for all of us because we eat, sleep, and breath photography for the entire week. This afternoon,we head down to the beautiful Netherland Hilton Hotel for our first on-location shoot. This is one of my favorite places to shoot - it's elegant and offers lots of opportunities to make exceptional images. I'll post a few images tomorrow.
Also, check out some of the images from Saturday's wedding. I used Animoto's web site - which I discussed last week - to produce the MTV style show. We all think it is way "cool". Hope you enjoy it. How about a few news items, then I've got to get "scootin'" off to class. --David
For a wedding JPEG shooter, this is a "God-send". It reduced the amount of exposure "fiddling" to almost nothing. Basically what happens at this setting is that the camera keeps the highlights from "blowing out" (within a certain range, of course.) It was a very bright sunny, cloudless day Saturday, but when the bride came out of the house into the direct sun, I was able to just keep on shooting with out any worry of overexposing her gown. The cameras worked perfectly in this regard all day long.
Next week, I plan to run an in-depth article on the little discussed "Highlight Tone Priority" feature of Canon's new cameras, so be sure to check back. I think I'm in love.......again!!

This image has a "French" feel to me - it's the bride's expression, the veil, I'm not sure - but I love it. This photograph was made just as we were going back inside. The wind picked up and stated blowing the veil. I asked my bride to just play with it a bit, and we got this great image. The image was made with the Canon Mark III with 70-200mm lens set to F5.6 at 1/540 second at ISO800. It was brought into Photoshop, desaturated, and then the midtones were increased to produce the final result.
Because of yesterday's big post, I got to let this one be short and sweet. We have my week long Digital Master Class starting Monday and a few more loose ends need to be tied up. Also, I've got another big wedding tomorrow, so it's a busy preparation day. Next week, watch for postings from the class. I'll try to get some images up from the wedding, too. Have a great weekend.
See ya'll (that's KY talk), on Monday. --David
That's it for today gang - see you next week. --David

This image was taken last year at a wedding we photographed in Chicago. The couple loved the setting on the golf course. We were losing light so I kicked the ISO up to 800. The Canon 5D was fitted with my 24-105mm lens and set to 70mm. Exposure was F5.6 at 1/125 second. The light from behind was the result of my assistant holding my remote controlled flash set to 100 W.S. Enjoy. -David
Lots of good stuff happening here today. As I start to put this posting together each morning, and I think I got things pretty much in order, some new news pops up. It just keeps on coming. So enjoy the posts today.
p.s. Please vote in the Flash Card poll on the right too - Thanks

This image was made at Photoshop World in Las Vegas. The lighting was supplied with an off camera flash passing through a "shoot through" umbrella. Shooting through the umbrella allows me to get the light source closer to the subject - hence softer light. I positioned our groom in front of the escalator and photographed him at an angle to the escalator to create the nice diagonal leading lines leading directly to him. Lastly, I slowed down the shutter a bit to pick up the ambient light of the scene and just balance with the exposure on the subject. The image was made with the Canon EOS 1D Mark III with a 24-105mm lens set to F 5.6 at 1/25 second at ISO 800. Enjoy -David
Today, I am changing the look and feel of the DigitalProTalk postings. I've been putting all the day's items under one day's heading, but when I go back to find an earlier post, I just see the day listed, not the post topics or lead lines. I know you could just search on the topic, but I want it to be a bit easier to find. Therefore, starting today, each story, tip, tutorial, et.al. (I love that word) is going to get it's own post. So, off to the races....

This is one of the images we made at the workshop yesterday in Columbus. When we pulled into the estate, I loved the trees I saw at the entrance. I knew I wanted to have the model surrounded by the beautiful color of the trees. I positioned her quite a bit down the road with me even further down the road. Using the Canon EOS 1D Mark III fitted the Canon's 70-300 D/O lens set at 165mm, I was able to compress the scene (and trees) to get the look I wanted. The off camera (directional) light was supplied by my Quantum T5d flash being fired remotely by the Quantum Freewire radio control. I balanced the Quantum "keylight" with the ambient to create the beautiful "direction of light" on the bride making her really "project" out of the background. The exposure was made at F6.3 at 1/250 second at ISO 200.
We had a great group of photographers in Columbus, OH yesterday. One of the highlights was that my buddy, Bob Hughes and his wife Elaine were able to set up an on-location shoot for us over at Jefferson Mansion. This is the former home of the governor of Ohio. It has since been donated to the city park board and is a favorite venue for parties and weddings. We weren't able to get inside, but that was fine. The grounds were beautiful. On top of that, we were able to hook up the computer and electronics outside so I was able to shoot wirelessly and the class could see the images instantaneously. This has proven to be a great way to ramp up the learning process at my workshops. After our session at the mansion we headed back to our meeting room and wrapped the program there. We were supposed to end at 6:00 p.m., but the class agreed to stay an extra hour which let me cover some additional material. We wrapped at 7:00 p.m. and were on the road back to Cincy by 8:30 p.m. A very nice day.
It's Technique Tuesday Again so How About Some Techniques

Matt Adcock over at Flash Flavor has a nice post which shows an easy filtered flash technique that produced a really nice reception shot. I wasn't going to swipe his pic so head over to his site to check it out. He had his assistant place a red gel over the remote flash and pointed it at the floor. He took the shot from over head to get a great perspective and terrific image. Check out Matt's great image and whole story right here.
Variation On a Theme - The "Pole Cam:"
I think Matt used some kind of painter's pole for supporting his camera. I've had my friend Kent Smith tell me about such a painter's pole at Lowe's. I still need to check it out. Anyway, for about three years now, I have been using a mono-pod to get the same result. I call it my "Pole Cam". I attach my Canon 30D with Sigma 8mm Fisheye lens to the monopod, manually focus on the subject, set the self timer to 10 seconds, put the wide angle diffuser over my Canon 580EX flash, and hit the shutter. As the the count gets to about 7 seconds, I lift the "Pole Cam" and hang it over the crowd and let the camera take the shot. It's a great perspective for a great image. By the way, the same technique works just as well if you put the camera on the floor and have the crowd look down at it. Here is a little slide that shows the various room shots and party images I capture with my "Pole Cam."
More on Infrared Photography and More:
I knew I had another lead on Infrared camera conversions around here somewhere. I finally found it. The company is called MadMax.com and they do IR conversions on just about anything - cameras, video recorders, etc. Not only that, but they also do "Image Enhancement" modifications to cameras, too. Their first page shows how they have improved the resolution of a Canon 5D. They have a fascinating site. Check it out right here. While you are there, check out their IR imaging devices - so "James Bond."
Picture Doctor: 3 Ways to Polarize Properly:
Placing a polarizing filter over your lens can really enhance you landscape images. The sky can be made darker and it can reduce or enhance reflections - it all depends on how the filter is oriented on your camera. Here is a nice (and short) article on the topic over at Pop Photo. I also like the nice "kicker" link in the article which discusses "Photographic Filters" vs. Photoshop. A quick read with good info - check it out right here.
Don't forget - check out our Photoshop tutorial "Touch of Color - With a Twist" next.
See everybody tomorrow. --David
This "Technique Tuesday" Photoshop tutorial reviews a technique that some of you may be familiar with. I've added a nice little creative twist at the end. Hope you enjoy it. --David

During a trip to Sedona last year, I made this image while on one of the ever popular "Pink Jeep" tours. It was originally captured as a color JPG with the Canon 5D at ISO 400, F 10 at 1/160sec. I used a Sigma 12-24mm lens at the 12mm setting to really accentuate the agave plant in the foreground. The image was then taken into Photoshop where I used "Channel Mixer" in "Monochrome" mode to get the proper balance of tonality in the image. After removing about about 10 tourists from the ridge, I had my finished image.
I am in Columbus, Ohio today presenting a program for the Professional Photographers of Central Ohio. I'll be seeing a lot of friends today as this is the part of the country where I spent my "formative" years as an aspiring photographer - so many years ago. As a little side bar, LaDawn and I spent Sunday with our good friends Kent and Sarah Smith. They are truly two of the best photographers in the country. Kent and I have "grown up" in this profession together, knowing each other for more than 25 years. Anyway, check out their studio websites. They have two - one for portraits and the other for seniors. Their web sites and photography are inspirational - give them a look right here.
How About Some Quick News
Layers Tennis - Say What?:
You heard it right here. Here is an excerpt from Coudal.com about what is going on...
"Coudal.com that is announcing the return of the very popular and inspiring Photoshop Tennis. We'll be playing matches using lots of different applications, from Adobe Photoshop to Adobe Flash, but the basic idea is the same no matter what tools are in use. Two artists (or two small teams of artists) will swap a file back and forth in real-time, adding to and embellishing the work. Each artist gets fifteen minutes to complete a "volley" and then we post that to the site. A third participant, a writer, provides play-by-play commentary on the action, as it happens. The matches last for ten volleys and when it's complete, everyone visiting the site votes for a winner." You can get the whole story right here.
Sounds kind of interesting - REALITY INTERNET. Sounds like something for Photoshop World to me.
What Flame Brushes - The Devil Made Me Do It:
This very "hot" news item has been on the "back burner" - OK, enough already - Sorry. I found this cool tutorial over at PhotoshopSupport.com. It's called "Flame Brushes". You can download the brushes at no charge and get the tutorial on how to use them right here. The results are very interesting - kind of fun to play with on a rainy day. I know some of you think Ziser is nuts offering these kind of links, but hey, "No Rest for the Wicked" - sorry, just had to get one more in. You better bookmark this one - 8 months from now when it hits you - where did I hear about "Flame Brushes" - you know you got it right here.
Concert Photography Tips:
I just got a nice email from Scott Kelby complimenting me on the Photoshop World "After Party" shots - thanks Scott. The NAPP house band, Big Electric Cat performed at the party and I ran around, like any good (wedding) photographer would, capturing all the band action and dancing. You can actually find the post and the those images right here. I'm not ready to make the career change to concert photographer just yet, but for those of you looking to do a better job at this kind of photography, there is a great article on it over at the RRD PhotoBlog. Ryan Dlugosz, who runs this well done site has done a great job listing and documenting with several images on just how to photograph concert artists/bands with their unique and special lighting effects. Check out the article right here.
A Cup on Inspiration for Monday - Absolutely Beautiful Landscape Photography:
When we got back from our 2 weeks of travels, I needed to hit the computer to see what was happening for next week. As I was doing that I checked out a few of my "bookmarks" I had carried over from my old computer - I just set up a new computer right before we left 2 weeks ago (what a hassle-whew!) and wanted to see if I had missed anything. Anyway, the good news, I had bookmarked this site a while back, but went back to review it again. It all came back to me - Joseph Holmes Photography, Natural Light Photography - what absolutely astonishing work. Just take a few minutes to review his site and his images. Here is the link. You won't be disappointed.
That's it for today, I'm off to my program. Don't forget - tomorrow is "Technique Tuesday". See you then, have a good one. --David
Friday, September 14, 2007
I made this image a few years ago at Cape May, New Jersey. The setting was beautiful. There were just a few hitches - I wanted the sun in the image, so I used my off-camera flash to create a direction of light on the subject. Next I adjusted the flash exposure with the exposure of the setting sun to get the light balance I was looking for. And lastly, I brought the image into Photoshop and removed my assistant and 9 other people who were in the shot. Don't you love digital. --David
LaDawn and I are packing our bags and heading for home. After a nearly a week at Photoshop World, and now another week in New York, I think we are both ready to head back home. We spent our last full day yesterday checking out the sights over at Brooklyn Heights - what a nice area to visit. Bert Monroy gave us the tip a few weeks ago when he came through Cincy on his Photoshop Creativity Tour - he is from New York originally. Brooklyn Heights turns out to be America's first suburb. It's quiet, full of shops and restaurants, and the view from the Promenade is best of NYC and the Brooklyn bridge. You can check out a short slide show of the images over at our sister Blog "Dave and LaDawn on the Road". In fact we have been blogging the whole week over there as well. (Two Blogs a day, not for the "faint of heart.") Take a look.
Before we headed out yesterday, we took a "time-share" tour. If any of our readers have had that experience you know what I'm talking about here. The sales person tries to sell you part of a piece of property that you get to use for a week, once a year. I don't want to spend a lot of time here describing the concept, but, just as a heads up, I'm going to spend some time on "Sales" next week and I will share some of my insights about yesterday's experience. Check back next week for the rest of the story.
Anyway, even though we had a terrific time here in the Big Apple, we are looking forward to heading back. I have the weekend off, but on Sunday we are heading for Columbus to prepare for an "all-day" program for the Professional Photographers of Central Ohio we will present on Monday - hope to see some of you there. Next week I will also be putting finishing touches on my week-long Digital Master Class that kicks off September 24. (Still 1 or 2 seats left - call Susan at 800.292.2994 if interested.) So I will see everyone back in Cincinnati.
How about a little news.
True Digital Infrared:
I have had this saved in my "Favorites" folder. I first saw the story month's ago, and now it's popped up again. Here is the scoop. Back in the film days I remember reading and seeing many articles and images on "Infrared Photography". Photographers were producing B&W infrared images by placing an infrared filter over the camera lens, and after a very long exposure and focus shift, produced very striking images where the sky was black and the greens were almost white. In fact Konica eventually developed a special high speed IR film that would help photographers get the same effect with much faster exposure times. It was kind of a niche product which some wedding guys used occasionally - with great results. So how can we do it digitally? There have been many tutorials on how to do it in Photoshop with "Channel Mixer" and the like, but the results has never been as good as the real thing. Enter Life Pixel, a service that will turn your digital camera into a REAL infrared digital camera for only about $300. I have seen the results of the conversion and they are amazing. I have been planning on making the conversion to one of my older Canon 20D's - I'll keep you posted. The Pop Photo blog just did a story about Life Pixel. You can check it out here. Life Pixel's web site and a short video can be viewed right here.
The Largest Photograph in the World - and it's not Digital:
I thought this was a great story - it's about six photographers who literally created the largest photograph in the world via the "camera obscura" technique. They call it the "Legacy Project" They coated a giant size piece of visquene specially ordered from Germany, with photographic emulsion, exposed it for 35 minutes, and then processed it in 1800 gallons of B&W chemistry. You can get the quick recap right here, but also check out the "Legacy Project" web site right here for all the details about the world's largest photograph - very cool.
Ansel Adams (or maybe his twin bother) Returns:
Wow! check out Clyde Butcher's work over at his web site. It is truly amazing. As I was cruising his site and there are quite a number of similarities between Mr. Butcher and Mr. Adams - large format camera, beards, beautiful B&W images, involved with environmental causes, and making an impact on the world. Mr. Butcher's work is simply outstanding. Please check it out right here. You can even sign up for his newsletter.
Nighttime Digital Photography
We all know 'Nighttime " photography is not the easiest to pull off particularly with the contrast range we are often faced with. The old film guys would over expose then undevelope to try to protect all the details in the shadows. Heck, Ansel Adams wrote a whole book on it. So how do we pull it off digitally? Here is an entire book on the subject. It is written by John Carucci. Read the entire review here. It looked good to me so I headed over to Amazom and just ordred it. I'll do a follow up down the road.
That's it for now, gang. I've got bags to pack and planes to catch. Have a great weekend. See you Monday. --David | <urn:uuid:23985fe7-3fa5-4f09-95f7-8008cc70e23a> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://digitalprotalk.blogspot.com/2007/09/ | 2024-04-13T21:30:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.969064 | 6,313 |
Over the summer I was listening to a book on CD about Frank Sinatra during my daily commute. He used to stand outside nightclubs begging the owners for a chance to sing for free, pushing his talents on to anyone willing to listen to his story. This was a recurrent theme throughout his early career. He would get a break then blow it because he let his temper get the best of him. He was forced to recreate himself until he discovered his emotional stability. Yes, he always had a temper, but he used that anger to spur his actions. His actions as one of the greatest singers of his era and his fearlessness when fighting for racial equality speak volumes of his ability to harness his emotions.
J.D. over at Get Rich Slowly forced me to take a hard look at my own writing. He turned down my last submission to GRS because he felt that it didn’t offer enough value. He was right. The article was about spending less and saving more, so you don’t have to work from paycheck to paycheck, but all of his readers already know this. J.D. pointed this out and gave me another chance to write a better article. Incidentally this post was also going to be a guest post too. J.D. felt it was good, but had too much of a personal development angle for his finance blog. So instead of giving it to someone else I’ve decided that I wanted to post it right here.
Your emotional intelligence is probably the most important factor to your success. We try so hard to be productive, save money and exercise, but we neglect the most important part to our happiness – our Emotional Quotient (EQ).
What happens to you when your emotions bubble up? Do you acknowledge, release and move on, or do you let your emotions affect future choices? When you can learn to use your emotions to spur change you can better yourself. We all get upset at work. Maybe you aren’t treated with respect or the work doesn’t excite you. Regardless of what causes you trouble, it is important that you must find a system to improve your EQ.
Step 1 – Become Aware of Your Recurring Emotions and Why They Arise
When J.D. asked me to write another article my emotions took over. At first I felt sadness. My shoulders slumped and my head followed. Then I began to feel upset as I clasped my hands and squeezed as hard as I could.
I was in the RSS Idol Competition over at Daily Blog Tips during the month of July and I was hoping that the guest post would help me reach a new audience. My plan had fallen apart and that meant that I was probably out of the $3,000 competition.
I knew why my emotions occurred and how they arose, but working with them to help spur change is always the most difficult part.
Step 2 – Work with Your Emotions
J.D. gave me a much needed kick in the butt. To become a top flight writer you need to go deeper than everyone else. A few years ago I might have thrown in the towel and told myself I didn’t need to bother. My blog was growing just fine. The old me would have used an excuse like this to cop out, letting the fear dictate my choices. Fear was just an emotional obstacle that I needed to overcome if I want to take my writing to a new level. I had to go deeper to give all of you something that would bounce around your mind for hours or even days. The problem was my lack of inspiration.
I went to the library to check out what other authors were writing about. I browsed the books, picking one up here and there and that’s when I realized that I was developing my emotional muscles. I had calmed myself and rose to action to improve the situation. If I let my emotions run wild I might have allowed my frustration take over and given up. Instead I was using these emotions to create a new direction that led to this article.
Step 3 – Practice Your Emotional Development
Just like curbing the Starbucks habit and brown bagging your lunch for work takes commitment, so does working with your emotions. At first it’s painful. Almost every good habit that I have now was painful at first, until I practiced it over and over and it became a welcomed friend. Remember your first job and how traumatic it all was? It was exciting, but a lot of mental work, dealing with co-workers, finding your niche, and getting the work done well. Over time it became routine and easy, preparing you for your next job.
When that first uncomfortable emotion occurs, whether it’s your commuter rage or low self-esteem, it’s malleable if you take the time to work with it. Next time you let your anger get a hold of you, notice where it comes from and what situations cause it to arise and next time you are in a similar situation be aware and open to these feelings. Allow them to sink in and find a way to allocate this energy to improve your circumstances. The quicker you can rebound from upsetting feelings the quicker you can get back to being productive.
Step 4 – Celebrate Even the Smallest Wins
I actually gave a Tiger fist pump, the same one he used at the U.S. Open, in the middle of the library because I realized my development was happening in that moment. My fist just jumped out and I went with it. The middle aged woman next to me stepped back. I whispered my apology and walked away. It didn’t bother me that I looked like some crazy guy because I was using my emotions to encourage positive change.
I was enjoying the process of bringing valuable content to the internet. Something that could really help other people work happier.
Your EQ is the most important aspect to your success. It helps you create solid relationships with co-workers. Over 60% of all new hires are based on referrals. If you are a balanced, warm and thoughtful person, you’ll have no trouble staying employed. There are plenty of brilliant people who are unemployed because they don’t understand how to develop their emotional skills. Don’t fall into the trap of tackling the same problems with the same emotional habits. Use your feelings to spur change and you’ll uncover new depths of strength that you never thought possible.

The story of Our Lady’s apparitions at Fatima from May to October of 1917 are well known. She came to a world embroiled in the First World War and provided a message of hope to people who were suffering greatly. To those three little children, Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta, she offered the perfect remedy to the ills afflicting humanity. She presented her plea to pray the Rosary for peace, to make sacrifices for sinners, to establish devotion to her Immaculate Heart, and to make reparation to her Immaculate Heart on the first Saturdays of five consecutive months. It is a message that altered the history of the world throughout the twentieth century by the fall of communism in the late 1980s and the early 1990s. Our Lady’s influence from Fatima continues to be felt today as, just on March 25th of this year, Pope Francis consecrated Russia, Ukraine and the whole world to her Immaculate Heart.
There is, however, another foundational part of the message of Fatima that happened in the spring, summer and fall of 1916. Three times that year an angel who identified himself as the Angel of Peace appeared to the three shepherd children with an important message and plea. The Angel came to prepare the children for the coming of Our Lady the next year.
In the first appearance of the Angel in the spring, he instructed the children to pray with him as he bowed down to the ground and they imitated him. He prayed the following prayer:
My God, I believe, I adore, I hope and I love You. I beg pardon for those who do not believe, nor adore, nor hope, nor love You.
He repeated this prayer three times and then arose, saying, “Pray this way. The Hearts of Jesus and Mary are attentive to the voice of your supplications.”
In the summer of 1916, the Angel of Peace made his second appearance to Lucia, Francisco and Jacinta. He exclaimed to them, “What are you doing? Pray, pray a great deal! The Hearts of Jesus and Mary have designs of mercy on you! Offer unceasingly to the Most High prayers and sacrifices.”
When Lucia asked the Angel how they were supposed to sacrifice themselves, he replied, “Offer up everything within your power as a sacrifice to the Lord in an act of reparation for the sins by which He is offended, and of supplication for the conversion of sinners…”
Finally in the Fall, the Angel came back a third and final time to the children. He was holding a chalice in his hand. A Host was over it, from which fell some drops of Blood into the chalice. Leaving the chalice and Host suspended in mid-air, he prostrated himself on the ground, repeating this prayer three times,
“Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore You profoundly. I offer You the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the tabernacles of the world in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference by which He is offended. And, through the infinite merits of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of You the conversion of sinners.”
The Angel then arose, and, holding the chalice and the Host again, he gave the Host to Lucia and the contents of the chalice to Jacinta and Francisco as he proclaimed, “Take and drink the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, horribly outraged by ungrateful men. Make reparation for their crimes and console your God.” The Angel then prostrated himself and offered the same prayer again three times.
These encounters with the Angel of Peace tell us that the message of Our Lady at Fatima is based in the Presence of Our Lord in the Holy Eucharist and always point to Him as the One whom we love and adore and to whom we offer reparation. She, as the Mother of Jesus, always leads us, her children, to Him, especially to Him present in the Most Blessed Sacrament.
It is for that reason that the prayers of the Angel of Peace have been adopted as the official prayers of the National Eucharistic Revival. They can be found on the USCCB’s Eucharistic Revival website, or on our diocesan Eucharistic Revival web page.
As we prepare to kick off our diocesan Eucharistic Revival on June 19, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, let us strive to pray these prayers daily, if possible, before Our Eucharistic Lord in our parish church, where He waits for us in the tabernacle or exposed on our altar.

I have mounted a lot of gym equipment, it's much more demanding that regular construction. To make it safe, you have to really overbuild.
IMO the challenge here is pullout strength. The posts of the squat rack are what will carry the weight, but when you rack the weight, it will want to rock significantly. You have to make sure it does not pull out of the wall or you have a bad situation.
Plan of attack
The way that rack is made, you have four mounting bolts for each of the four points of attachment. They are not likely to be positioned over studs. So my thinking is, you want 2x boards on the wall - horizontally, so you can anchor into several studs. Once they are up, attaching the equipment to the boards will be easy.
I'd say 2x6's will be adequate. I want to attach them with one toggle bolt and one screw at each stud.
You are going to want boards that are a little over 4' minimum, about 52" is good to hit four studs at the standard 16" on-center spacing. Depending where the studs fall in relation to the mounting brackets, you might want to go for five studs, so say 68" boards. It really depends on where the studs are, how wide the rack is, and where you want to place it.
The first critical step is locating the studs. Take your time here. It may be best to make a horizontal cut with a jab saw into the drywall on either side of the stud until you find the studs. If you make these exploratory cuts behind where the boards will be - at about bracket height - they will be covered up when you're done.
Mark the stud locations with a pencil line from above the top board all the way to the floor. If you don't want to look at the pencil line when you're done, use masking tape.
Mark the stud lines with horizontal marks where the brackets will fall, then make marks for the top and bottom of the boards. This is important.
The attachment can be a little tricky but if you do everything in the right order the layout is easy.
Put the boards on the floor and mark the stud locations with a speed square. Drill two evenly spaced 3/16" pilot holes in the boards for each stud attachment. If you make the holes 1-1/2" from the edge of the board, that ought to work.
Attaching the boards to the wall
This part can be tricky with steel studs, it may be obvious to you how to lay this out but in case it is not I'll go over the details.
The idea is to first mount the boards to the wall with sheet metal screws, two at each stud, then remove the boards, and replace half those screws with toggles. This just makes locating the holes for the toggles easy.
You're going to need 16 (or 20) screws, #14 x 3" sheet metal screws, either flat head or hex-washer head.
Drill one pilot hole in the left-most stud for the top left screw. Swap the drill for the driver and screw the board to the wall.
Use a level, level the board, and drill the next pilot hole through the pilot hole you already have in the board. Put the level down, get a screw, swap the drill for the driver, screw the board to the wall. Drill the rest of the pilot holes for that board and drive the screws. Repeat for the other board.
At this point it's really pretty sturdy but not strong enough for gym equipment. The toggles will make the difference.
Unscrew all the screws and remove the boards. Now we install the snaptoggles / easytoggles pictured in the question. You'll want the 1/4-20 ones, which need a 1/2" pilot hole. I like the 1/2" stepless drill bits for this, but you can use a 1/2" titanium bit or other metal drilling bit. Install these in place of the TOP screw at each stud attachment.
You will have to re-drill the top pilot holes on the boards to 1/4" of course. Re-attach the boards to the wall with the 1/4" bolts included with the snaptoggles and a 1/4" fender washer between the wood and the bolt head. Don't make them all the way snug yet. First replace the screws in the bottom holes. Then go back and snug down the 1/4-20 bolts good and tight, you'll should see the washer deform just slighty.
Now finally - Mount the Equipment
Now the easy part - carefully mount the equipment to the boards with 1/4" x 2" or 2-1/2" lag screws and washers, mark and drill pilot holes first of course.
All the real work is making a solid "foundation" for the equipment mounting. | <urn:uuid:2bb5f623-0f28-4bae-b34f-74c0a2d71d5e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://diy.stackexchange.com/questions/180328/garage-gym-mounting-folding-squat-rack-to-plasterboard-wall | 2024-04-13T23:08:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.946484 | 1,029 |
Chris stepped in a week before our wedding when we had to cancel our live music due to COVID. We had an amazing time and he made everything run smoothly and safely.
Playing ‘game show’ games with our family and friends was a blast and so many have told us that it was the most fun they’ve had at a wedding! We would highly recommend DJNI for a wedding or any other socially distanced events people are planning at the moment. It really made our night!

Have you ever imagined blasting off for outer space, looking at Earth from the Space Station or maybe even walking on the moon? What about having a desire to possibly be a part of building a space shuttle? You may have never shared these dreams, but ten-year-old Charlie Wanzek of Hazen has! Charlie has dreams of becoming an astronaut or an engineer when he grows up. That is certainly going to take a lot of courage and determination, but courage and determination are two things of which Charlie has no shortage. You see, Charlie was diagnosed in November of 2017 with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Charlie was experiencing intermittent fevers, body pains and weight loss before his diagnosis. Thankfully, his leukemia was caught early. At diagnosis Charlie's tests revealed 20% blasts, which are immature cells, while most children diagnosed with acute leukemia test at 50% or higher. This meant Charlie was at standard risk, rather than high risk. It also meant that Charlie's course of treatment would be less intensive, as far as the amount of chemotherapy he would require. That doesn't mean it would be easy. The course of treatment will take roughly three and a half years. Charlie has shown his great courage and determination during treatment and has completed two and a half years. There have been small hiccups along the way, but Charlie and his family are counting down the days until Charlie "rings the bell" signifying the end of treatment! | <urn:uuid:3acedd31-1620-45c1-ad49-79c9bf5eb1d1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://donate.bravetheshave.net/campaign/2020FlagshipEvent/CharlieWanzek | 2024-04-13T22:30:15Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.98549 | 295 |
Today, the 3rd of June, is World Bicycle Day. This year, with the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic and the lock-down that followed, there has been a resurgence in the popularity of cycling, the likes of which we could never have envisaged. Bicycle shops around the country are selling out of all types of bikes and repairs are non-stop. A new Sport Ireland survey suggests that over half a million Irish adults are cycling once a week.
The extension of the limit of travel for the purpose of exercise from 2km to 5km allowed cyclists up and down the country the space to enjoy getting in the saddle and getting out of the house again. The more experienced and athletic cyclists will be waiting hard for the limit to be extended to 20km on the 8th of June.
Cycling in the sun
Although the lock-down is undoubtedly the main factor behind the growth in numbers cycling, the great weather experienced in the months of April and May is also a major factor. Total rainfall at Finner Camp in April this year was only 16.3mm, for example. Compare that to February, when rainfall was 263.2mm. The COVID-19 measures coincided with one of the best spells of weather in recent years, leaving Irish families eager to get out in the sun and away from the house as much as possible.
The e-bike boom
Before there was any word of lock-down, there was already a big growth in sales of electric bicycles. That said, the e-bike boom had been quite slow to hit Ireland. There were over 200,000,000 e-bikes in China in 2013. It’s a safe bet that e-bikes will continue to take a hold in Ireland during, and after, the lock-down, as they are ideally suited to the hilly terrain of the Irish coastal counties. They are the ideal way to get around without the puffing-and-panting of the hills. E-bikes are ideal for less-mobile cyclists or the less fit amongst us!
The benefits of cycling to one’s mental and physical health are well known, and cycling will have been many people’s saving grace through the Coronavirus lock-down. Indeed, cycling will be many people’s saving grace for years to come and with the increasing popularity of the e-bike, cycling may be more accessible than before.

I enjoy precision shooting, a remarkable integration of vision, posture, physiology, skill, tool, and physics; atmospheric, combustion and gravitational trajectory. Our dad used to take us out into the swamps to throw some lead. My brother was a sniper-quality marksman back in the day and like me still loves to make loud noises and ventilate targets. I never did acquire the skill-set of game hunting, although the way things are going I may need to learn.
But I have been plagued by ever diminishing eyesight all of my adult life, to the point where my dominant (right) eye is little more than a hood ornament. For 99% of my day-to-day life the affliction is little more than a nuisance running in the background. Sure, I need to hold my head a peculiar way when executing some tasks at the bench, but it has become so ingrained that I do not even think about it much. It’s just the thorn in my flesh, and I have come to think of it as another opportunity for God to teach me something. I just wish I was not so thickheaded about learning lessons, whatever they are.
Sure, during my quarterly eye exams the doctors all say, “The eye looks great,” and do not always appreciate my response, “Not from my side, it doesn’t!” I am about to be fitted with a new contact lens in that eye which may help, a little. But without surgery to replace the defective polymer lens implant in that eye, which compounds the defective corneal transplant (twice in a row; another data point about which the doctors have zero interest), it really does not matter how much the contact lens can correct the acuity/sharpness since it will not remove the heavy-fog-like haze resultant from the defective lens implant. And, the surgeon is not at all anxious to intrude into that eye any more since I can still function. I guess twenty (!) surgeries-per-eye is their limit. Plus, the cavalier attitude about my glaucoma two ophthalmologists ago has already cost me roughly 1/2 of the vision in that eye on the perimeter of the vision field.
Like I said, a hood ornament.
All that to say that when it comes to long distance precision rifle shooting, I am up a creek without a paddle since that exercise has relied on my dominant right eye for more than fifty years.
Then along came a paddle.
Over the past few years, I have imagined, devised and designed a modified rifle scope that will allow me to still shoot right-handed with the rifle, but use my much better left eye as the steering mechanism for the tool. I have way too many hours of muscle memory/practice to try learning to shoot left-handed, especially with a bolt-action tool, although I did play hockey left-handed. But I was a defenseman, so I also skated backwards most of the time.
Now all I need to do is fabricate the parts in the machine shop, put the pieces together and try it out.
Which means I need to get the machine shop up to speed. That’s what this post is really all about. I’ve got the design. I’ve got the materials. I’ve got the precision machines, just sitting there.
Just do it, stoopid.
Hey, that’s a catchy phrase. Maybe I will register it. If the unit is a success, I will certainly not register the invention, I will simply write it up and release it to the world. I cannot be the only shooting enthusiast betrayed by a failing dominant eye. | <urn:uuid:020ce299-8be2-43df-9192-35bd8a71874b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://donsbarn.com/winter-projects-and-well-beyond-cross-eyed-scope/ | 2024-04-13T22:02:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.963184 | 765 |

Home / Blog / Financial, Savings

According to TheKnot.com, the average couple spends $29,450 on their wedding. Even attending a wedding typically costs $888 while members of the wedding party can expect to pay well over $1000 to be a part of the big day. Given the high cost of the celebrations, it’s easy to see how many people go into debt for their wedding.
Money can often be a hard topic for couples to address, so many couples end up avoiding it. Business Insider reports that 45% of couples don’t discuss debt before getting engaged, and 76% of those who went into debt for their wedding fought about expenses. Unfortunately, almost half of all newlyweds who found about money considered getting a divorce – not the ideal start to married life.
Before you start shopping it’s best to talk with your partner about how much you want to spend Here’s how to approach your wedding as a team:
1. Decide on what parts of the wedding are important to each of you: do you want to focus on food or photos? Decide up front what your priorities are, and then you’ll have a guideline as to where you can cut costs and where you can splurge.
2. A smaller guest list is the best way to trim costs from the beginning; at an average of $200 per person, you can save $2000 by removing 5 potential guests (and their dates!).
3. Another option to save is to invite friends and close family to the ceremony and extend the invite to additional guests for the reception.
4. Look for discounts online: Weddingwire.ca has a number of offers that will save you 10-20% on the venue, makeup, and/or hair services.
5. When requesting quotes, use the word “Event” or “Celebration” instead of “Wedding”. Many companies charge more for wedding related services.
6. Watch out for hidden costs: In addition to the costs you might not have thought of, you’ll want to look over the details of every contract before signing. You may be surprised by things like postage, the marriage license fee, or dress alterations. Additionally, many wedding vendors include hidden fees in their contract for things like delivery, setup, overtime, or equipment rentals, so make sure you.
7. Don’t forget to be mindful of your friends’ budgets; dresses, events, and parties can put undue stress on your friends. Keep the focus on the celebration and allow your friends to cut costs by choosing their own dress, doing their own hair and makeup, and hosting parties close to home to cut back on travel expenses.
Once you’ve got your priorities sorted out, you can decide where you want to cut costs:
- December and January are typically the least popular months for weddings, meaning venues have more availability and more room to negotiate.
- Saturday is by far the most common day to have a wedding, but you can save thousands of dollars by booking on a Sunday or a non-weekend day.
Invites & Printing Costs:
- Digital invites are an affordable and popular option, and it’s a much simpler process than traditional mailouts for you and your guests.
- Homemade invitations are an affordable option, but even with a DIY design you are still responsible for printing and mailing costs.
- If you do print invites, instead of printing individual invites, itineraries, and maps, create one trifold containing all of the important details instead of printing individual cards to save a significant amount on printing costs.
- Traditional weddings offer each person a printed program and menu, but you can save money (and time!) by creating one big program and/or menu at the entrance.
Fashion & Beauty:
- Bridal gowns can be incredibly expensive, but you can find beautiful dresses at a fraction of the cost by buying a sample or used wedding dress; opt for a slightly larger size for alterations to fit.
- Consider doing your makeup instead of hiring a professional; professionals often charge for a trial run as well as the day of, which can add up to well over $100.
- Look into makeup and hair schools where you can find students who are willing to charge less as they build a portfolio of their work.
- To cut back on costs significantly, get creative and select a location for the ceremony that doesn’t cost anything. Popular options include a backyard, beach or a park, and they can make for an incredibly beautiful backdrop.
- To further cut back on costs, you can opt for a standing ceremony to forgo chair rentals. Some restaurants will allow you to use their space if you meet a minimum amount of food sales; so, reach out to your favourite restaurant, a brewery, or coffee shop to see what they can offer you.
Food & Drink:
- When choosing your menu, explore different options with your caterer such as a buffet instead of sit-down dinner service or family style service.
- You can often save by opting for a non-traditional, lighter meal such as brunch or lunch.
- With the popularity of food trucks, consider hiring one to cater your event and provide a unique, hip experience that will make your wedding meal memorable.
- Don’t feel the need to offer an open bar; offer beer and wine only, or a free cocktail hour followed by a cash bar. If you are renting a venue, see if you can stock the bar yourself and buy in bulk.
- While traditional wedding usually features a multi-tiered cake to cut and share with guests Cut a small cake for tradition and serve a sheet cake for guests to eat.
- Flowers are often a significant part of the décor budget, you can save by invest in a florist for the most-photographed flowers (the bride’s bouquet and head-table arrangements), and DIY the rest.
- If you aren’t feeling inspired, peruse Kijiji or Facebook Marketplace for wedding décor; often there are brides that have bought decorations they no longer need that you can pick up for a bargain.
Entertainment & Music:
- Look for a local music school where you can inquire whether students or teachers would be available to play
Many couple choose to forego the DJ and create a playlist of music on their own, making it much more personalized. Rent a speaker setup and a mic and have your MC manage the music. To get an idea of what you’ll need for music, consider the following moments:
- Pre-ceremony seating music
- Processional (parents, bridal party)
- Processional (bride)
- Cocktails and dinner
- First dance
- Parent dances (father/daughter, mother/son)
- General reception
With some thoughtful planning you can have an incredible celebration without going into debt or spending your life savings. | <urn:uuid:dcce7c04-58aa-498e-b4d2-617f5ac266f1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://doylesalewski.ca/blog/plan-a-wedding-on-a-budget-7-things-to-consider-plus-18-ways-to-save/ | 2024-04-13T21:12:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.951106 | 1,452 |
How to draw a Saiga Antelope
A saiga is a small antelope with an extremely distinctive face (I hate to say ‘muzzle’). Not an elephant, of course, not even a tapir, but the nose is prominent.
So, let’s draw. Let’s start classically, not with interesting details, but with a schematic drawing of the animal’s entire body in pencil. Here, I found a good, expressive photo of a saiga, side view.
It looks like a normal sketch. Now, again, with a pencil, I’ll draw in more detail:
A pencil drawing of a saiga. And then it turns out that I did miss the proportions – the neck in my first sketch was planned to be shorter than necessary. That’s why it is necessary to draw a sketch and not to stick with it, but to approach it critically, check and recheck.
So the error is found and corrected. Let us move on to drawing. Now step by step. First the torso, it’s slim and trim, as antelopes should be:
The hind legs – all the bends are very visible. Make sure these same bends are symmetrical – they should be at about the same level on both legs. Oh, and by the way, on closer inspection it turned out that our saiga is a male. All right, let’s draw it as it is.
The front legs are straighter than the hind legs, but the bends are interesting too, and it’s essential to follow them:
And then we get to the head. The horns are like a lyre (only males grow them), the ears are apart, the face is long with wide-set eyes. The nose is oddly crooked – I’d say it’s walking contemptuously crooked.
And colouring. Saigas live in the steppes and semi-deserts and their colour – brownish-beige – harmonises well with the colour of the landscape.

Most people think of proposals as momentous, life-altering occasions. And in a sense, they are. After all, you ask the person you love to spend the rest of their life with you. But that doesn’t mean the proposal must be complicated or expensive. Sometimes the simplest proposals are the most memorable and heartfelt. If you’re thinking about popping the question during your next vacation, here are a few tips from the experts on how to make it unique.
1. Get an Engagement Ring
A ring is one of the most important symbols of a relationship, and it’s only natural to want to give your loved one an engagement ring as a sign of commitment. There are many different styles and designs to choose from, so it’s vital to pick the right ring that suits your partner’s style.
Try to consider your partner’s favorite colors, their favorite gemstones, or even their favorite celebrity style. The best engagement rings truly reflect the person you’re proposing to. No matter what you choose, make sure the ring is something they will love and cherish for years to come.
2. Plan a Romantic Proposal
One of the best parts of proposing during a vacation is that you already have most elements in place for a romantic setting. Whether on a beach, at a mountain top, or standing near an iconic landmark, the location can help set the tone and create the perfect moment.
Try to think of ways to personalize the proposal and make it unique. Consider writing a special poem or song or incorporating elements from your partner’s favorite movie into the proposal.
3. Make it Personal
When it comes to proposals, many think the more extravagant and complicated they are, the better. But the truth is that the most memorable proposals are often the simplest ones. That’s because they are personal, intimate moments between two people who love each other.
If you want to propose in a way that will touch your partner’s heart, then make it personal. Consider what your partner loves and try to incorporate those things into the proposal. Is your partner an animal lover? Why not propose at a zoo or pet shelter? Are they into nature? How about proposing to a beautiful park or on a hike up a mountain?
The key is to think outside the box and come up with something unique and special that only you could have thought of. So take your time, put some thought into it, and you’re sure to create a proposal your loved one will never forget.
4. Be Prepared
When it comes to proposing, the most important thing is to ensure you are prepared. That means having your ring ready and picking a spot where you can be alone with your partner for a few minutes to ask the question in private.
If you’re planning an elaborate proposal, make sure you have all the necessary materials, such as a poem or song you’ve written, props from your partner’s favorite movie, or whatever else you want to include. And most importantly, make sure you know exactly what you will say in advance so you can be confident and prepared for this special moment.
5. Timing is Everything
Timing is one of the most important factors to consider when planning a proposal. After all, it can be challenging to pull off an intimate and romantic moment if you’re in the middle of a crowded theme park or bustling city street. And if your partner’s family or friends are nearby, they might even want to get involved or ruin the surprise.
Instead, plan your proposal when you know you can have some privacy and uninterrupted time with your partner. This might mean planning it for early leveling in the morning, late evening, or even taking a short trip away from everything and everyone else.
6. Make a Plan B
Finally, remember that things don’t always go according to plan. So if your proposal goes awry or you have a last-minute change of plans, it’s important to have a plan B ready to salvage the moment and still have a special proposal for your partner.
For example, if you propose on the beach, you could always have a backup plan of proposing at a nearby restaurant or hotel. Or, if your partner is an animal lover, you could prepare a surprise proposal by bringing them to visit their favorite animal at the zoo.
The key to proposing during a vacation is to keep things simple and personal. This can be done in many different ways, so use your creativity and put some thought into it to create a proposal that will touch your partner’s heart. And most importantly, don’t forget to have fun. After all, this is supposed to be a romantic and memorable experience, so enjoy it and savor every moment. | <urn:uuid:8344b8e3-5347-45ba-b540-fcb8d8394f59> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://drifttravel.com/proposing-during-a-vacation-tips-from-the-experts/ | 2024-04-13T22:02:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.940115 | 992 |
In this article titled “Keys to Success in Achieving Good Health,” Power Health Reno located in Reno, NV is discussed. The video focuses on the keys to achieving good health, with speakers Dr. Martin Rutherford and Dr. Randall Gates leading the conversation. They delve into the topics of fibromyalgia and underlying motivation. The speakers emphasize the importance of feeling good and staying well in order to fulfill personal and professional responsibilities. They share their own strategies for maintaining good health, such as prioritizing sleep, meditation, gentle stretching, breathing exercises, and engaging in positive affirmations and gratitude. They also touch on the importance of acceptance and surrendering to limitations, as well as finding support in a community of people with similar conditions. The article concludes with information about future topics and a request for specific topic suggestions.
Importance of Staying Well and Feeling Good
When it comes to achieving success in both your personal and professional life, staying well and feeling good should be of utmost importance. Taking care of your health not only allows you to fulfill your responsibilities to the best of your abilities but also keeps your brain and stress response under control. Additionally, following a healthy diet plays a crucial role in maintaining your overall well-being.
Sleep is often disregarded in our busy lives, but it is highly important for our health and functioning. Aim for 8 to 10 hours of restorative sleep each night to support your body’s healing and recovery processes. Restful sleep allows your brain to receive adequate oxygenation and helps you wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the day ahead.
Meditation is a powerful tool that can calm your brain and reduce stress. By making meditation a part of your daily routine, you can enhance your brain function and improve your overall well-being. Take a few moments each day to sit quietly, focus on your breath, and clear your mind. This practice will not only help you feel more peaceful and centered but also improve your ability to handle stress effectively.
For those who spend long hours on their feet, gentle stretching can provide relief from physical discomfort. Stretching your feet, back, and hands can help alleviate pain and tension. By incorporating these stretching exercises into your daily routine, you can promote optimal functioning of your nervous system and enhance your overall physical comfort.
Breathing exercises are a simple yet effective way to provide oxygenation and stimulation to your brain and body. Take a few moments each day to focus on your breath and engage in deep, intentional breathing. This practice can help reduce stress, improve cognitive function, and provide your body with the vital oxygen it needs to thrive.
Positive Affirmations and Gratitude
Fostering positivity is essential for maintaining good mental health and overall well-being. Incorporate positive affirmations and expressions of gratitude into your daily routine. Take a few moments each morning to reflect on what you appreciate in your life and remind yourself of your strengths and capabilities. This practice can help shift your mindset towards a more positive and optimistic outlook.
Just as physical exercise is important for our bodies, brain exercises are crucial for maintaining cognitive function and mental sharpness. Make brain exercises a part of your daily routine, engaging in activities that challenge your mind and promote mental agility. These exercises can include puzzles, memory games, reading, or learning a new skill. Aim to do brain exercises multiple times a day to keep your mind active and sharp.
It is important to recognize your limitations and avoid exceeding your capacity. Pushing yourself too hard can lead to crashes and cognitive difficulties. Be mindful of your energy levels and make sure to take breaks and rest when needed. By understanding your limits and pacing yourself, you can prevent burnout and ensure that you are operating at your best.
Following a balanced and healthy diet is key to maintaining your overall well-being. Make sure to prioritize nutritious meals that include a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. However, it’s also important to indulge in occasional comfort foods that bring you joy and satisfaction. Strive for balance in your diet, ensuring that you nourish your body while still enjoying the foods you love.
Future Topics and Requests

Additionally, cultivating positive affirmations, engaging in brain exercises, understanding your limitations, and adopting a proper nutrition plan are all important factors in maintaining good health. By focusing on these aspects and making them a part of your daily routine, you can improve your overall well-being and effectively fulfill your personal and professional responsibilities. | <urn:uuid:a6c6cc8d-9005-449b-8ab6-6b44331376e0> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://drmartinrutherford.com/keys-to-success-in-achieving-good-health/ | 2024-04-13T22:04:35Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.94407 | 1,056 |

A healthy gut is a pivot for good coordination of all activities in the body including gastrointestinal activities, immune system, drug metabolism, physical, and mental health, and even hormonal balance.
The gut microbiome constitutes the entire population of microorganisms that colonizes a particular location, and it includes not just bacteria, but other microbes also such as fungi, viruses, and archaea.
It helps manage a variety of health conditions ranging from inflammatory bowel diseases, obesity, and diabetes, allergic disease to neural illnesses.
Recently, few studies have reported its impact on the female reproductive system and related conditions.
The imbalanced gut microbiota can trigger several diseases and conditions in females, including complications during pregnancy, adverse pregnancy outcomes, PCOS, endometriosis, and even cancer.
The gut microbiota exhibit an essential role in the reproductive endocrine system in a female’s life by interacting with female sex hormones; estrogen, androgens, and insulin. Estrogen is the female sex hormone that regulates the menstrual cycle. It is not only influenced by estrogen levels but it also actively affects estrogen levels. The Gut microbiota that is capable of regulating estrogen levels is estrobolome.
How Gut Microbiota Regulates Female Sex Hormone Estrogen?
The gut microbiota helps to regulate estrogen levels by secretion of β-glucuronidase, an enzyme that breaks down estrogen in the gastrointestinal tract. This estrogen is forwarded to the uterus via the bloodstream where it binds to estrogen receptors, resulting in physiological downstream effects.
A decrease in β-glucuronidase activity as a result of gut microbial dysbiosis can result in the reduced breakdown of estrogen and low circulating estrogens in the bloodstream.
This alters the activation of estrogen receptors leading to health conditions such as obesity and cardiovascular diseases and even cognitive decline.
On the other hand, increased β-glucuronidase activity can result in elevated estrogen levels in the blood leading to health conditions, such as endometriosis and cancer. Thus, optimal microbiome activity is essential to maintain estrogen levels in females.
In addition, estrogen levels can also affect PCOS, endometrial hyperplasia, and ultimately fertility.
How Gut Microbiota Regulates PCOS?
PCOS is an endocrine disorder that leads to difficult pregnancies or infertility in about 6.5−8.0% of reproductive-age women.
The syndrome is characterized by hyperandrogenism (that regulates male characteristics), amenorrhoea ( absence of menstruation), and polycystic ovary.
In addition, the gut microbiome contributes to several additional characteristics of PCOS such as obesity, hyperandrogenism, insulin resistance, and low-grade inflammation, therefore indirectly participating in the onset of PCOS.
In a study, Escherichia coli, a bacteria found in the gut in abundance, showed a positive relationship with serum luteinizing hormone (LH) levels and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and a higher level of these hormones are linked with PCOS condition in females.1
In another study, the gut microbiome is directly related to Ghrelin, the hormone that initiates hunger. It is found that during PCOS, ghrelin levels are low whereas BMI and testosterone levels are high. Therefore imbalanced gut microbe is the indirect risk factor for PCOS.
An increase Escherichia and Shigella in PCOS can also alter the synthesis of the short fatty acids chain that is beneficial to regulate lipid profile in the body.2
Dietary Intervention to Correct Gut Dysbiosis
The following dietary interventions can help promote good bacterial and eliminate harmful bacteria from the gut to improve PCOS symptoms:
PCOS is a very common reproductive disorder in females of reproductive age and is characterized by irregular menstruation, weight gain around the abdomen, excessive hair growth, and acne skin.
Current research well establishes that an imbalanced gut microbiome is linked to several female reproductive tract disorders, commonly endometriosis, PCOS, gynecological cancers, and infertility.
The imbalance in gut flora or dysbiosis of gut microbiota brought about by an unhealthy diet is responsible for an increase in gut mucosal permeability, releasing lipopolysaccharides in blood, activating the immune system, increasing serum insulin levels, leading to increased androgen production in the ovary that interferes with normal follicular development during PCOS.
However, an appropriate dietary intervention is recommended to enhance the count of good bacteria and decrease the count of harmful bacteria in the gut will eventually help to improve lipid profile, balance hormones, eliminate bad cholesterol and promote good cholesterol with significant weight loss.
The supplementation with prebiotics and probiotic is highly recommended to promote good bacteria in women with PCOS.

Immersed in instructing students how to learn, I forgot that machines learn. Next, I remembered that statistics may resemble GIGO (aka financial chicanery) and realized that remedial measures effectively used in the past may not operate effectively today. Indeed, public policies may be based on fictions, and there’s no one-size-fits-all panacea.
Knowledge of the attendant circumstances and understanding of the exogenous threats are key to effective financial analysis notwithstanding selective data accumulation, data mining, proof by data, etc. A new socially acceptable and artificial shell and its accompanying sets of financial models that appear so rational with their dependence on benchmarks, figures, graphs, and numbers have become the medium through which Wall Street and Main Street are interpreted by experts and lay persons alike, as if high technological modernity had liberated individuals from the usefulness and reliability of intuition and firsthand experience and observation, which are purportedly superseded by a new paradigm of what it means to be an intelligent human being. No more wars, no more systemic errors, no more fraud / irregularities…. Then, I awoke.
High tech and expensive but widely available higher education have not led to a higher moral plane of being and acting. Machine learning could improve these deficient present conditions, if its underlying formative and summative principles were designed with the goal of improving the general welfare and public domain, and if effective inspection and oversight of the implementation of such machine learning were operative. The promise of impartial machine learning should inspire, however the experience of biased programming should deflate any unrealistic expectations (e.g., here and here). Private ordering (aka capitalism) does not invariably result in public betterment.
What is the machine learning and what do the machine’s controllers endeavor to do with such learning – these are key questions. Just as students in accounting may exercise creativity without ethics, computer programmers may create an environment disadvantageous to those outside the beneficiaries of black box operations. Dr. Frankenstein’s monster lives; welcome to the machine. | <urn:uuid:6dfe3dc0-b734-4fc3-be3e-b45b85a68daf> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://dshapiro44.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2016/08/07/machine-learning-and-cui-bono/ | 2024-04-13T21:22:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.944547 | 410 |

Summarized by durumis AI
- Longevity foods include spinach, salmon, green tea, avocados, papaya, and carrots.
- These foods are rich in nutrients and antioxidants that can help prevent aging.
- By consistently eating longevity foods, you can maintain healthy youth for a long time.
Here we introduce you with some miraculous dishes that make you look durumi(youthful). Everyone, irrespective of whether it is a woman or a man, cherishes the desire to look younger than his/her actual age. Do you know that you can delay ageing just by eating the right kind of food? We shall straightaway discuss about those foods which enhance longevity.
Foods That Make You Look Younger
Let’s discuss about some dishes that will enhance longevity. If you consume the dishes given below regularly then it would help you look durumi(youthful) as well as take care of your health simultaneously. It would prove to be a perfect combination with double benefits.
Spinach is the primary choice to enhance longevity. Vitamin C contained in spinach facilitates production of collagen. Collagen prevents hardening of skin and helps in making the skin firm and glowing along with reducing wrinkles. Also, being an anti oxidant Vitamin C fights harmful oxygen that has capability to weaken collagen.
Spinach is also a good source of essential mineral magnesium, and it's high in lutein, an antioxidant that can protect against hardening of the arteries. The vitamins and nutrients in spinach also decrease the tumor risks of the skin, thus preventing colon or prostate cancer. Additionally, it absorbs the cholesterol and throws it out of the body thus preserving the well being of blood vessels.
Further spinach includes Vitamin K that is helpful in diminishing cell inflammation. Leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale and collard green have good quantity of water, as a result they moisturize the skin and enhance the glow.
The second durumi(youthful) food is Salmon . Being included in one amongst the ten globally renowned superfoods, Salmon holds high in protein while being low in calories that makes it an apt diet. Oily fishes such as salmon, sardines, mackerels have abundant Omega -3 fatty acids.
This compound performs as an anti- inflammatory substance thus minimizing pain and making cell membranes robust along with enhancing the skin glow, and it displays a commendable result to regenerate new cells thereby augmenting the quantity of water beneath the skin.
Carotenoid Astaxanthin which is a component of Salmon, is known to enhance skin elasticity and firmness. Moreover, it averts deficiency of collagen fibres, hence acting as a shield against wrinkles.
That Omega – 3 is highly supportive in respect of blood circulation as well as growth and functioning of brain. Also, it reduces the body fat. Being enriched with Vitamins A and this substance, it fortifies cell membranes thereby proving helpful to prevent ageing, which is the reason it is selected as durumi(youthful) food.
3. Green Tea
Green tea is the third dish for longevity. It is proved that Catechins present in green tea have the capacity to fight cancer. It is suggested that drinking about 2 – 6 cups in a day is preventive of skin cancers and also averts skin damage due to ultraviolet rays. Green tea includes huge quantities of flavonoids, and antioxidant components and these prevent ageing, avert skin irritation and inflammation besides controlling free radicals.
Also Polyphenols, a component found in abundance in the green tea, revives dead cells thus enhancing skin texture. People, who drank polyphenol – rich Green tea for a period of 12 weeks, showed improvement in their skin, it became smooth with increased flexibility as well as moisture content. It is found that green tea improves blood supply as well as oxygen supply in skin.
In addition it was reported by studies that Epigallocatechin Gallate as a chief compound of Polyphenols of the Green Tea improvers heart health as well as decrease cancer risks.
The fourth choice is Avocado . Avocado has a large quantity of unsaturated fatty acids. Omega 9 fatty acids help skin in moisture absorption. Furthermore, Avocado contains good quantity of such fatty acids as fight inflammation that are useful in development of a smooth, pliable skin.
Good amounts of Vitamin A contained in Avocado helps us eliminate dead cells resulting in a velvety glowing complexion. Along with this its Carotenoid component aids detoxification action and prevention from skin damage induced by sun exposure and may also prove beneficial in deterring skin cancer.
Papaya is the fifth option in the durumi(youthful) platter. Papaya, being loaded with variety of Anti oxidants and enriched in minerals as well as vitamins contributes to improvement of skin firmness along with minimizing fine lines or wrinkles. Papaya includes several nutrients viz Vitamin A.C.K.E, Calcium , Potassium, Magnesium, Phosphorous as well as Vitamin B. Rich variety of Antioxidant in the Papaya can flush the free radicals and thus decelerate ageing.
In addition to above Papaya includes an enzyme, Papain. This very enzyme alone happens to be amongst top rated natural antioxidant substances. Actually it also serves as a basic component for production of exfoliator cosmetics used by us.
Lastly the durumi(youthful) option is Carrot. Carrots being abundant in Vitamin A is above all an effective vegetable that minimizes sagging and prevents wrinkles as well as has plenty of Beta carotene concentrates in addition to Anti oxidant component that safeguard our skin from ultraviolet rays and prevent ageing and damage of the skin. Notably it is said that consumption of carrot enhances not only health of skin but also the general overall health.
This includes strengthening the teeth, remedying constipation , improving appetite, diuretic effects, potassium as well as phosphorous, improving the health of nails, hairs, preserving eyesight etc. The large quantities of potassium found in Carrot excel in eradicating sodium which helps blood vessels remain in good shape along with beneficial for preservation of collagen too.
This time around you were acquainted with recipes that help look youthful. Regular intake of foods which act as preventive measure of ageing would definitely aid in preservation of youthful vigour intact until you turn hundred . It’s better that not only for youthful look but also to preserve overall health that we often include these nutritious dishes to lead a healthy lifestyle. | <urn:uuid:d3a36cfa-3696-4e37-b0f4-f48d6ce62502> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://durumis.com/@ich27016c63b05/6-miracle-foods-that-give-you-instant-energy-ugloiodm | 2024-04-13T22:31:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.95005 | 1,331 |

Big news on the first official day of the free agency period – the Chicago Bears have agreed to terms with running back D’Andre Swift for a three-year, $24 Million deal. Swift had a banner year with the Eagles this past season, so local fans will be sad to see him go. They’re not the only ones… fantasy football managers are also probably less than thrilled to hear this news.
Kenny Gainwell’s Dynasty Stock Rises
D’Andre Swift ended the 2023-2024 season with the Eagles, rushing for more than 1,000 yards and earning his first Pro Bowl selection. It’s wild to me that this is only Swift’s fourth year in the league. What’s also wild to me? Kenneth Gainwell is only 24 years old. Why does it feel like these guys have been in the league forever? Hold onto your Gainwell stocks or make a trade. Either way, acquiring Gainwell or trading on his new value will serve you well.
The Bears are Building a Championship Team
The Bears are far from a championship team, but that’s the goal in acquiring a talent like D’Andre Swift. There’s also been some turbulence in the Chicago quarterback room.
The Bears aren’t shy about saying they’ve been shopping quarterback Justin Fields around. Regardless of whether or not they manage to trade Fields, the Bears have the first-round 2024 NFL draft pick and will undoubtedly choose rookie quarterback Caleb Williams out of USC. This became even more apparent on Sunday, with Bears General Manager Ryan Poles signing veteran safety Kevin Byard to a two-year, $15 Million contract. Filling the safety role was a major need for the team this season. Having pieces of a good offense is key to success in fantasy football.
Swift Will Undoubtedly be the RB1
The addition of D’Andre Swift and a very talented rookie quarterback puts the Bears in a significantly better position than they were in seasons past. While many Bears fans hold tight to the notion that Fields is their quarterback, it’s clear that the organization doesn’t feel the same. However, these moves put dynasty fantasy football managers with Swift on their roster in a better position. Theoretically.
Regardless of the additional moves the Bears make, there’s no doubt that Swift will be their RB1. Dynasty managers can count on another very productive season, upwards of 1,000 rushing yards. With the talent they’ve already added, plus the coming of a quality franchise quarterback, it’s almost as if they’re building this team around D’Andre Swift. Also worthy of note is that this deal makes him the ninth-highest-paid running back in the NFL in terms of average annual value. It’s a blow to the values of Khalil Herbert and Roschon Johnson for fantasy.
Swift’s value remains high
Kenny Gainwell remains a value as Philly’s RB2
Roschon Johnson and Khalil Herbert’s value take a hit

Nobody in Cairo was dreaming of a white Christmas, but it looks like they’ll get one. The worst snowstorm in more than 50 years hit the Middle East, blanketing Cairo, Jerusalem and areas of Syria in white powder. It was the first time in 100 years that Egypt had seen snow.
Instagram quickly filled with images of snowball fights and landscapes, but in areas like Palestine, some were caught off guard. The United Nations expressed concern for refugees caught in the cold, but many families are ineligible for help because they are not registered with the UN, according to Al Jazeera.

In America and across the world, consumers are becoming more and more aware of the potential dangers of genetically modified foods. The heated debate on their safety continues with consumer groups and the general population demanding mandatory GMO labeling laws. This battle has been ongoing for some time now with at least 64 countries around the world way ahead of us. However, in December of 2018, the final GMO labeling rule in the U.S. was released by the USDA.
So how much confidence do I have in this new rule? Not much! Click here to see if you agree.
However you feel about the new labeling rule, the good news is – We still have choices!
We can choose to continue buying commercial produce and refined packaged items with no regard as to what we might be putting into our bodies, or we can do our best to avoid modified foods.
Now avoiding GMOs may seem overwhelming at first. I used to spend hours at the grocery store reading label after label before allowing anything to make its way into my cart. This was very time consuming because GMO crops are refined and turned into many different processed ingredients. Some may be easier to recognize than others. I lost track of the number of times I stood in a grocery aisle holding a very attractively labeled box in my hands trying to decide whether it was safe to take home or not. Food marketers purposely add enticing pictures and convincing tag lines to distract us from flipping the box over to discover what’s actually inside. If we flip the box over, we will probably find GMO crops camouflaged under a wide variety of names.
Here are some examples:
GMO Corn may be hidden under:
• high fructose corn syrup, modified corn starch, corn sugar, hydrolyzed corn, maltodextrin
GMO Soy derivatives may be hidden as:
• textured soy flour, tempe, textured soy protein, lecithin, monodiglyceride, miso, mixed tocopherals, msg
Most MSG is made from GMOs and may be hidden under:
• hydrolyzed vegetable protein, monosodium glutamate, sodium caseinate, natural flavorings, natural meat tenderizer, yeast extract
Besides our grocery stores, GMO products are served in most fast food chains and national chain restaurants.
So how on earth are we supposed to avoid them?
Here are a few Power Tips!
- Look for products that contain either the NON-GMO or USDA Organic label or both
- Shop at your local farmer’s market and ask questions! (It is much easier to question the local farmer about how he grows his crops as opposed to the one who lives in another state or country.)
- Make homemade meals using natural ingredients instead of eating out. Yay!
- If you must eat out, know which GMO products to avoid and question the waiter on what type of oil, sugar, etc… that they are using. Choose restaurants that advertise at least some of their ingredients as NON-GMO or USDA Organic.
Check out this article on How To Avoid GMOs When Dining Out by Jeffrey Smith.
As with anything, the more we practice, the easier it gets.
So lets take control of our health and practice good lifestyle habits by doing all we can to avoid GMOs.
Our bodies will thank us! | <urn:uuid:afafc42e-a332-4e09-ab19-99915ba45250> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://earthwiseagriculture.net/2019/11/ | 2024-04-13T23:26:38Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.947109 | 676 |

Tuesday, February 9 is National Pizza Day, one of the favorite food holidays of the year. This year in celebration of the holiday, Michael DeNunzio and Brie DeNunzio, owners of “Fine Folk Pizza,” will join local pizzerias nationwide in the Pizza Across America campaign.
“As a member of this community, I wanted a way to give back to those who are left hungry due to the uncertainties of the Covid-19 pandemic. We are fortunate enough to be in a position to make a difference in the fight against hunger,” states Mike.
Fine Folk Pizza, located at 11300 Lindbergh Blvd #114 in Fort Myers, will partner up with Community Cooperative to help its mobile pantries and help feed over 150 people during the week of February 8-14. The pizzeria will also donate an additional ten pies to the Harry Chapin Food Bank.
The Harry Chapin Food Bank saw spikes in families needing groceries and food due to current income lost to the pandemic. The organization said it was spending $1 million on food every month and delivering close to 2 million pounds of food.
The Pizza Across America campaign was first developed by World Pizza Champions member, Carmine Testa, with his sons, Michael and Nicky, known nationally as the Jersey Pizza Boys. The trio partnered with the non-profit Slice Out Hunger and kicked off the campaign in 2018.
Pizza Across America co-founder Carmine Testa thinks this program is an essential way for pizzerias, who depend on local customers, to give back and support their communities at the local level, even when restaurants are hurting.
“We must continue to give back to our community; the last thing we want is to see a child or a family go to bed with an empty stomach. We hope that this inspires others to take the time and donate to those in need during this time,” added Mike.
The process of delivering pizza donations in every state of the U.S. will be managed by Slice, a pizzeria marketing and delivery app, and the pizza- focused nonprofit Slice Out Hunger. When Testa and his sons first hatched the Pizza Across America idea, they brought it to Slice Out Hunger to handle logistics.
Pizzerias looking to participate can find more information at sliceouthunger.org.

Provincial and Territorial Ranking
Key Messages - The top-ranking province, Ontario, gets a “B” and places 13th among the 26 comparator regions.
- Canada gets a “D” and has the highest VOC emissions per capita among all the peer countries.
- Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Newfoundland and Labrador are at the bottom of the pack, scoring “D–” grades.
Putting VOC oxides emissions in context Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are produced by vehicle emissions, chemical manufacturing, the evaporation of automotive fuels and other petroleum-based products, and chemical solvents. Consumer and commercial products that often contain VOCs include household cleaning products, personal care products, paints, and printing inks. In high concentrations, VOCs react with nitrogen oxides (NOx) to form ground-level ozone, and with other airborne particles to form particulate matter (PM). These are both components of smog, which hurts human health and the environment. Children, people with respiratory diseases (such as asthma), and people who work or exercise outside are susceptible to damage to lung tissue and reduction in lung function from exposure to smog. Ozone, typically generated in urban centres, can be transported by wind currents and affect regions far from its original source, damaging vegetation and crop yields in rural areas. Crops such as wheat, corn, soybeans, and tomatoes are particularly sensitive to ground-level ozone.
How do the provinces rank relative to Canada’s international peers? Most provinces do poorly relative to international peers. Ontario is the highest-ranking province, scoring a “B” grade and placing 13th overall with a VOC emission rate of 25.6 kg per capita. Quebec (33.7) and B.C. (34.2) are the next best performing provinces, scoring “C”s and ranking just below Norway (27.4) and ahead of the U.S. (42.3), a “D” performer. New Brunswick (41.6), Nova Scotia (42.7), P.E.I. (50.5), and Manitoba (51.3) all earn “D” grades but rank above the national average. Canada has the highest VOC emissions per capita among all the peer countries. The country’s emission rate of 52.5 kg per capita is over 6 times greater than that of the Netherlands (8.6), the top-ranking peer. Saskatchewan (197.6), Alberta (153), and Newfoundland and Labrador (125.9) have the highest emission rates among all the jurisdictions and get “D–” grades. Saskatchewan’s VOC emission rate is nearly 4 times the national average and over 20 times the rate in the Netherlands.
How do the provinces perform relative to each other?
With emission rates between 25 and 35 kg per capita, Ontario (25.6), Quebec (33.7), and B.C. (34.2) are the highest-ranking provinces. New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, P.E.I., Manitoba all score “D”s but are in the middle of the pack among the provinces, with the latter two having emission rates close to the national average. Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Newfoundland and Labrador are the worst ranked by a huge margin, with emission rates ranging from 126 kg per capita in Newfoundland and Labrador to 198 kg per capita in Saskatchewan. The emission rates of these three provinces are between two and four times the national average, and between four and eight times the emission rate of the best-performing province, Ontario.
How do the territories fare on VOC emissions? All three of the territories have high VOC emission rates and are “D–”performers. Yukon and the Northwest Territories have VOC emission rates of 75 and 78 kg per capita, respectively, putting them well ahead of Newfoundland and Labrador, but well behind the national average. Nunavut produces 201 kg of VOC emissions per capita, an emission rate comparable to that of the worst-ranked province, Saskatchewan. Nunavut also does poorly on VOC emissions; as with NOx emissions, a large volume of VOCs come from off-road vehicle use. However in the case of VOCs, the proportion attributed to off-road vehicles is much higher: roughly 94 per cent of VOCs in Nunavut are emitted by off-road vehicles, including recreational and commercial/industrial vehicles.1 The territories are not included in the overall provincial and international benchmarking calculations because data for each individual territory were not available for several of the indicators included in the overall environment report card. The Conference Board is, however, committed to including the territories in our analysis, and so we provide information on territorial performance when data are available.
How has the performance of Canada and the provinces changed over time?
Canada has made significant improvements to its VOC emission rate since 1990. Between 1990 and 2014, per capita VOC emissions dropped from 144 kg to 53 kg, a reduction of 63 per cent. Each province and territory made large cuts to its VOC emissions rates, ranging from a 36 per cent reduction in Saskatchewan to an 86 per cent reduction in Prince Edward Island. In absolute terms, the biggest reduction over this time period was achieved by Newfoundland and Labrador, which reduced per capita emissions from nearly 800 kg in 1990 to 126 kg in 2014, a reduction of 84 per cent. This is largely a result of reduced emissions from off-road vehicles.
What contributes to VOC emissions in Canada? VOC emissions result from both natural sources and human activities. Natural sources of VOCs include vegetation and forest fires. Although natural sources of VOC emissions are larger overall, human activities in populated and industrialized areas are the main contributors to air quality problems. The oil and gas industry is the largest contributor to VOCs in Canada (with 39 per cent of emissions), followed by transportation (22 per cent), and the use of paints and solvents (14 per cent). The remaining emissions are split roughly evenly among agriculture, home firewood burning, and other sources.2 Given that the oil and gas industry is concentrated in Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland and Labrador, it is not surprising that these provinces have the highest VOC emission rates in the country.
What is Canada doing to reduce VOC emissions? Canada has significantly reduced VOC emission rates over the past 20 years, largely thanks to cleaner technology and fuels for vehicles, reductions in industrial VOC emissions, and lower levels of VOCs in paints, solvents, and cleaners. However, given that Canada still has a higher emission rate than all its peer countries, there is much room for improvement. In 2012, the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (an intergovernmental council that facilitates cross-jurisdictional environmental action across the territorial, provincial, and federal governments), with the exception of Quebec, agreed to implement a nationwide air quality management system—a set of guidelines for monitoring emissions and setting emissions standards. The system contains air quality standards—set out in the Canadian Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAQS)—for fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone. Standards for nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and sulphur dioxide (SO2) are being established. The air quality management system also defines air zones (within provinces and territories) and regional airsheds (across provincial and territorial boundaries) to guide cross-jurisdictional cooperation to achieve the CAAQS. Further, it establishes base-level industrial emission requirements to unify emissions standards for industry in Canada (including VOC emissions) and requires that ambient air quality and emissions data be publicly available. | <urn:uuid:b6ffe1f0-7afe-4c49-8c0f-83157edc650f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://edata.conferenceboard.ca/hcp/provincial/environment/voc-emissions.aspx | 2024-04-13T23:33:02Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.935446 | 1,595 |

Jeremy Bracco is a good fit for the Toronto Maple Leafs right now
Coming off of a season where he finished second in AHL scoring with 22 goals and 57 assists, Jeremy Bracco may finally have an opportunity to crack a roster spot with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Those who have been following Bracco’s career with the Toronto Marlies know that one of the major reasons why he has not been given the chance to play in the NHL is because of the depth the Leafs currently have on the right wing position.
With a fully healthy roster, Marner, Nylander, and Kapanen have secured their spots on the top three lines for the right side, but after reports on Sunday revealed that Mitch Marner would be out for at least four weeks with an ankle injury, a major opportunity has opened for Bracco.
Power Play Maestro
Bracco is a monster on the power play, which is something the Toronto Maple Leafs have struggled to be consistent with this year. Bracco looks on track to have yet another solid year for the Marlies with 10 points through 13 games so far, and he currently leads the team in power play assists with four, a stat which he finished first in the AHL in last season with 31. (Stats courtesy of TheAHL.com)
The Leafs currently sit 19th in the league on the power play and have scored on just five of their last 40 power play opportunities. Not to say that Bracco would immediately be slotted in somewhere on either power play unit if he were to get called up, but at this point I am open to anything. (Stats courtesy of NHL.com).
Power play assists are a very significant stat when trying to explain Bracco’s style of play. His passing accuracy was in the 87th percentile last season, and in the absence of a player like Mitch Marner, you are missing out on some elite puck distribution, especially on the power play. (Stats courtesy of ICEBERG Sports Analytics).
His skating is also very elusive, and his remarkable edge work is very similar to Jeff Skinner, where he has the ability to open his body up to keep defenders guessing as to whether or not he will shoot or pass.
If Not Now, Then When?
I am genuinely scared that Jeremy Bracco is going to be one of the many Maple Leafs prospects who will get buried in the prospect pool due to the overwhelming amount of young talent they possess, especially on the right wing.
With the Seattle expansion draft coming in June 2021, and with him most likely being eligible for selection, there is not a lot of time for Bracco to solidify himself as a regular with the Leafs. It seems that fans have conceded to the idea that Bracco will be a solid asset in a future trade, and I think that if he does not make his way on the roster at some point this season or next season, that is a very likely outcome.
There are a lot of teams that could benefit from a player like Bracco. I think with the skill set he possesses, and some further development, he could make a case to be a part of an NHL roster.
I think if the Leafs give Bracco the ultimate opportunity to succeed, he may surprise some people. He does have the pass-first mentality that is needed on the Tavares line with Marner out, but I think one of the reasons the Leafs have been reluctant to bring him up in the past is because they know he would not be able to impact the game in the bottom-six role that he would inevitably play in.
What Has Held Him Back?
As much as I love to talk up Bracco’s offensive abilities, at this point in his career I do not think there many other dissectible parts to his game that would consider him to be an overwhelming yes on a top-nine spot for an NHL roster, especially the Leafs.
It is tough to argue when you are talking about a player who is coming off a year where he averaged more than a point per game in the AHL, but there are times when I find Bracco’s style of play to be very one dimensional.
While I do think he could definitely fill a hole that the Leafs lineup needs right now, I think if Bracco wants to become the regular forward in the NHL that he is capable of being, he needs to expand his defensive game, while keeping his point production in tact in order to become a complete NHL-ready winger.
I have been pretty high up on Jeremy Bracco ever since he has joined the organization, and as he continues his success in the AHL, I hope the Leafs take him into consideration during Marner’s absence. | <urn:uuid:9d87c0b7-3042-4a24-a0e5-8be5791ec22c> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://editorinleaf.com/2019/11/12/toronto-maple-leafs-jeremy-bracco-4/ | 2024-04-13T22:10:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.982509 | 961 |
With the majority of the regular season behind them, the Toronto Maple Leafs now take on the important task of getting themselves set up for optimal performance in the games that matter most.
The Stanley Cup playoffs are just around the corner and the Toronto Maple Leafs have lots of work to do.
Their playoff seeding is still to be determined. And, just as significant as their place in the standings is deciding on a lineup to set them up for postseason success.
Fortunately, the NHL schedule-maker provided the Leafs with four games, out of their last ten, against their Florida-based Atlantic Division rivals. Two contests this week plus two more to close the season bring forth an ideal opportunity for the Leafs to see where they stand.
Florida Opponents Offer Ideal Playoff Dress Rehearsal For the Toronto Maple Leafs
While the Capitals are still fighting for their playoff lives, the Leafs have recently owned Alex Ovechkin and company. The victory over the Sabres was satisfying in avenging a December blowout loss, but a "road" victory over the forever rudderless Buffalo squad is not much of a statement.
This week's schedule brings more intrigue.
The Florida Panthers were the Cinderella story during last year's playoffs and are the pick by many to be the last team standing this year. The Tampa Bay Lightning have the pedigree of a champion and are heating up at the right time.
By Thursday, the Leafs will have a much clearer picture of how capable their team is. Both the Panthers and the Lightning still have lots to play for. The Panthers are in a tight race with the Boston Bruins for first in the Atlantic while the Lightning are only four points behind the Leafs for third in the division.
The Return of Marner and Rielly Adds to the Intrigue
The return of Morgan Rielly and Mitch Marner appears to be imminent. Perhaps, Rielly returned for the game against the Panthers (this was written before) with Marner on track to suit up against the Lightning.
Their returns will have all sorts of ramifications to the Leafs lineup. Head coach Sheldon Keefe and his staff will have plenty of decisions to make.
Does the line of Auston Matthews, Max Domi, and Tyler Bertuzzi stay together? Does Marner bump one of them down the depth chart? Plus, Marner's return brings the decision of who to sit.
Ryan Reaves would be the obvious choice, but will Keefe want him in against the Lightning at the expense of Nick Robertson?
Rielly's return to action will also necessitate change on the blue line. One of Mark Giordano or Conor Timmins will likely sit. More decisions will come whenever Timothy Liljegren and Joel Edmundson are deemed healthy.
Special team units will also be affected. Marner and Rielly will both take spots on the first power-play unit. The Leafs play with the man advantage desperately needs a spark.
Both games will also give valuable feedback on the Leafs goaltending. At this point, the start for the first game of the playoffs is Ilya Samsonov's to lose. That could quickly change based on their play in these important games against fellow playoff participants.
The results from the other six games remaining on the Leafs schedule are secondary. Those opponents are fringe teams or completely out of the playoff picture.
This week's contests are the start of valuable feedback for the Toronto Maple Leafs. They will provide the first opportunity for the Leafs to get their house in order before the real work begins. | <urn:uuid:7a5083ec-dbc8-4b42-886a-3cd59a4c3a44> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://editorinleaf.com/posts/florida-opponents-offer-playoff-dress-rehearsal-for-the-toronto-maple-leafs-01htbh71ah07 | 2024-04-13T21:37:51Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.958898 | 722 |
How to calculate a child's age to enter school | Edu Step Up program
Calculating the child’s age for entering school is one of the important things that many people wonder about on the research websites, because the child’s age when applying in the first stage of school is one of the things that change from time to time and from state to state.
One of the most important things for parents and schools is to calculate the age of the child to enter school, whether it is in Egypt or Saudi Arabia, the age is the first of October in Egypt, and it is the age of acceptance of at least 6 years for males and females.
These laws were developed as a result of the many researches that proved the importance of determining the age of the child to enter school for aspects related to the child's personality from the physical, mental, social and therapeutic aspects.
How to calculate a child's age to enter school in Egypt 2023
First, let's get acquainted with the recognized and traditional way of calculating the age of a child to enter school:
As we mentioned, it should be noted that the normal age for a child to enter school is six years, so the child’s normal age must be calculated since his birth. These steps will show you how to calculate the child’s age.
If today’s date is 3/20/2022 and the child’s date of birth is 26/2/2016, the child’s age is calculated as follows:
1- Subtract today’s date from the child’s date of birth as follows:
(20-26) = 6 days
2- Subtract the current month from the birth month of the child as follows:
(2-3) = 1 month
3- Subtracting the current year from the year of the child’s birth:
(2016-2022) = 6 years
Thus, this child is 6 years, 1 month and 6 days old.
How to calculate a child's age for entering school in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 1445 AH
To learn about the mechanism of calculating the child’s age for entering school for the year 1445 AH, the child’s age should be calculated in terms of day, month and year; This is done by subtracting the date of his birth by day, month and year from the date on which the child’s age is to be calculated, Here is an example to illustrate the method of calculating the age that a child is entitled to enter school; If today’s date is 26/2/2022 AD and the child’s birth date is 13/1/2017 AD, the age of this child will be calculated as follows:
- Subtracting today's date from the date of the child's birth, as follows: (26-13 = 13 days).
- Subtracting today's month from the month of the child's birth as follows: (2-1 = 1 month).
- Subtract the current year from the child's birth year, which is: (2017-2022 = 5 years).
Thus, the age of this child is 5 years, 1 month and 13 days.
Benefits of a child entering school at an appropriate age for him:
He gets along well with his friends.
Gaining enough time to grow and tolerate the study of his body.
- Gain the necessary skills to compete with his friends.
- Integration with friends and a sense of mental compatibility with them.
Studies and research on the personal aspects of the child and the importance of determining the appropriate age for entering school
There are several studies and research conducted on several children to show that the child has aspects of his personality that must be completed in order to prepare him for a completely new stage for him, which is entering school and interacting with his friends and teachers, and these aspects include the following:
1- The physical aspect, which is represented in:
Play, which helps the child to build and strengthen his muscles and body composition.
2- The mental aspect:
Play helps stimulate the child's awareness of the world in which he lives and gives him the ability to control his mind and make decisions.
3- The social aspect:
This aspect helps to accept the standards of the place and accept the rules of the group and the rules of the game, and this develops in the child a moral sense.
4- The therapeutic aspect:
Playing helps relieve the fears and tensions caused by the pressures on him from his position.
How to calculate a child's age with Edu Step Up
In addition to the many advantages in the Edu Step Up program, you can dispense with the usual methods of calculating the child’s age on the first of October, because the program will calculate the child’s age and provide you with making the students’ age report by entering the following data:
- The name of the educational stage
- Class name
- Arrange the students in descending or ascending order
In addition, you can print the report.
In conclusion, determining the age of the child is very important for the reasons that we mentioned in the article, and using a sophisticated method such as relying on a complete program to manage school affairs and managing the entire school is much better than relying on traditional methods in order to avoid any errors in the students’ data and accounts. | <urn:uuid:f8d05405-535c-42be-b0d9-4051de14f12f> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://edustepup.com/en/how-to-calculate-child-age-to-enter-school | 2024-04-13T22:28:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.96326 | 1,131 |
A “Blanket of Safety” For American Schoolchildren
The answer into a criminal which has a gun is usually not to take away their firearm, but instead to give an excellent person that gun at least according to Wayne LaPierre, the executive for the National Gun Association. In the response to the Sandy Connect elementary school shooting, he believed that the just way to protect schoolchildren from shootings should be to put equipped security in each and every school. The speech is actually publicists consider as a “spin job”. It is purpose is simple: defend the NRA. Total, responses to the speech various from moderate surprise to outrage. Most articles speak about that LaPierre scapegoats the federal government and the press, which is certainly true, although this declare is too basic. A closer go through the methods lurking behind his blame-shifting reveals impressive and intricate metaphors that constitute a two-pronged defense. LaPierre first dissociates the business from the shooters, then casings traditionally approved authorities since the opponent and the NRA as a white-colored knight, together, these strategies convey a story of oppression that victimizes the organization and alters who the audience looks at the “bad guy”.
To prevent necessitates legislation and preserve their interests, LaPierre must dissociate the NRA from the assault and actions of the killers. He brands them because otherworldly potential predators, creating an apocalyptic field in which the state participates. His language can be notable due to the extremism and insistence. Killers are ubiquitous, with a great innate behavioral instinct like “predators”, who take action “evil” and “insane”. They may be “genuine monsters” driven by demons. “Demonized”, which has beginnings in actual demon own the body (OED), suggests that actually removing weapons from the situation would not stop any potential harm to contemporary society. While this kind of dramatic language naturally vilifies that player with the dice, it also polarizes the gun-owning community. In this instance, the only alternative to being a demon is being human being. Thus chinese sets up many gun owners and NRA members because rational, not really driven by base tendencies like shooters looking for victim. His language is so effective at separating these kinds of populations that he can claim that gun regulations are enacted unfairly in “peaceful, lawful people” even after his descriptions in the killers.
If photographers are hot-blooded predators, the state is their particular cold-blooded comparable version. LaPierre attaches the physical violence of the perpetrators with the activities of the authorities, the first place persons might turn to in a catastrophe. For example , he admits that that Obama “zeroed out” emergency institution policies, responsive his previously statements of killers whom “make their mark”. That presents the President since shooting a metaphorical topic at the citizens’ welfare, much in the same way criminals shoot innocent people. With this dialect, gun control advocates turn into violent and calculating. Fiscal language pervades his points. They “invest” and collude to “inflict maximum chaos with bare minimum risk”, plus the media is a “race to the bottom”. Such phrases convey activities that are suitable for systematic damage. These parallel characterizations of the government, the media, and potential shooters use language associated with weapons to re-appropriates terror from shootings to his competitors.
LaPierre simultaneously engenders paranoia that spawns apocalyptic visions. Nevertheless , the fear this individual inspires works well because it is concentrated: he guides it particularly against the agents he vilifies (e. g., the media). A few of his fear strategies are universal, like when he compares contemporary society to a human body in which criminals “spread like cancer”, and thus are intractable, or the evenly uncontrollable technique of “ripening”. The word “national mass media machine” motivates images of weapons and destruction at the hands of an subjective entity. Various other phrases employ food metaphors, like “recipe”, “fill”, and “toxic mix”. In reference to your the nation, these types of phrases recommend an agent that is creating hazardous conditions. In fact, someone should be fill, mix, and create a recipe. In addition , he identifies hundreds of other potential shooters as “waiting in the wings”. This movie theater metaphor brings to mind a scripted landscape, one written, directed, and performed with a variety of celebrities. No one is secure from LaPierre’s accusations: everyone from the press to stockholders to corporate managers to lawmakers happen to be “complicit” inside the harm done to American children. They are “enablers”, acting because “corrupt” “co-conspirators”, who “shock”, “violate”, and conceal facts from the public. Implied collusion is present by the bucket load and rss feeds conspiracy and paranoia. When ever working in association with the system metaphors, LaPierre imagines not really a broken world, but the one that has been intentionally manipulated by malevolent forces that allows shooters to take the main stage.
Critique of these forces requires the group to consider one alternate: the Countrywide Rifle Connection. He explains the children and the organization in similar terms, and thus his victimization provides with it a sense of innocence. The contrasts between these types of and the before “conspirators” are really extreme concerning be painfully obvious. The Sandy Lift victims are “beloved”, “innocent”, “vulnerable”, and “defenseless”. LaPierre uses precisely the same language to explain the NRA and hook up the two. States that they the government is “consumed by fear and hatred of the NRA”, and provides “den[ied] all of us the right to safeguard ourselves”. Laws is “imposed” against all their will, and he can “imagine the surprising headlines” that unfairly change the public against the organization.
Most incongruously, LaPierre equates guns with caring and reimagines tools as safeguard. We value the Chief executive, for example , therefore we shield him with “armed Key Service agents”. The same applies to banks, airfields, offices, electricity plants, and courtrooms. LaPierre’s most fancy suggestion is usually when he calls for a “blanket of safety” to be set up that contains armed reliability in every school. If you worry about something, you need to protect it in this case, by simply surrounding it with firearms. He also says that dedication and courage may be “deployed” very much like parachutes delivering items. In fact , in the last page this individual uses this kind of word at least five times in reference to the organization. Rather than graphic firearm imagery, he uses army language connected with authority, control, and protection. He reassociates the army and guns, and thus the NRA, with valor. One other example is his information of the Exotic Hook institution principal, that is forced to “shield” the schoolchildren, an gothic and feeble form of protection when compared to Hersker Lanza’s Bushmaster semi-automatic rifle. Compared to this kind of outdated self-defense, LaPierre’s call for armed school security looks logical, even appropriate. This individual seems to take hold of the concept of marketing by sheer repetition: he describes individuals in charge of this safety umbrella as qualified, trained professionals eight instances, reinforcing that “good guys” can also carry guns. He demands a “cordon of protection” around the children, creating an evocative visual of wall-to-wall troop protection that could be appealing to distraught parents.
Throughout the conversation, LaPierre drastically re-envisions a new with access to guns. By simply characterizing the latest state of affairs while dangerous and apocalyptic, he can introduce a fresh agent (armed security) and present this alternative as a panacea to get school shootings. Of course , this solution is usually one in which the NRA naturally plays a great indispensible role. His language simultaneously prevents or diverts any groups between the NRA and the photographers, and offers an alternate of complicity between the shooters, the multimedia and the federal government. Fears of a conspiracy might effectively distract from the events at hand, if people believe his says. The quantity and persistence of his efforts to reimagine guns because reasonable, protective agents matches his have to shut down backlash and weapon legislation. Finally, LaPierre aims to reassociate who the group views of the same quality or negative. Perhaps his depictions are very dramatic with an immediate influence on the firearm debate, but are thorough enough to provide their purpose of altering the public’s watch of the organiza
