Where to meet me away from work:
- During a nice conversation with dear people, while wandering through the world or on a journey, near or far.
What moves me:
- On warm sunny days: sport, culture and the desire to discover new things.
- On cold rainy days: away from my couch – just my wife.

If you are looking for free guidance in the selection and use of PPE for safety and to comply with the OSHA requirements, you've come to the right place. This OSHA standard, included separately in the standards for each industry segment (except agriculture), requires that employers provide employees, at no cost to employees, with personal protective equipment designed to protect them against certain hazards. This can range from protective helmets to prevent head injuries in construction and cargo handling work, to eye protection, hearing protection, hard-toed shoes, special goggles (for welders, for example) and gauntlets for iron workers.
(a) Application. Protective equipment, including personal protective equipment for eyes, face, head, and extremities, protective clothing, respiratory devices, and protective shields and barriers, shall be provided, used, and maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition wherever it is necessary by reason of hazards of processes or environment, chemical hazards, radiological hazards, or mechanical irritants encountered in a manner capable of causing injury or impairment in the function of any part of the body through absorption, inhalation or physical contact.
Employers are required to provide a hazard free environment for employees. Anyone encountering hazardous conditions must be protected against the potential hazards. The purpose of personal protective clothing and equipment (PPE) is to shield or isolate individuals from the chemical, physical, and biological hazards that may be present in the workplace.
The adverse effects chemical substances may have on the human body necessitate the use of protective clothing. The predominant physical, chemical, or toxic property of the material dictates the type and degree of protection required. For example, protection against a corrosive compound is different than that for a compound which releases a highly toxic vapor. The work function and the probability of exposure to the substance must also be considered when specifying protective clothing. As with the selection of proper respiratory protective apparatus, the hazards encountered must be thoroughly assessed before deciding on the protective clothing to be worn.
Once the specific hazard has been identified, appropriate clothing can be selected. Several factors must be considered, most important being the safety of the individual. The level of protection assigned must match the hazard confronted. Other factors include cost, availability, compatibility with other equipment, suitability, and performance.
In general, it is just good common sense to have PPE available for whatever emergency situation could arise in your operation. The use of PPE is specifically required by OSHA in 29 CFR 1910, in at least the following places:
1910.94(a)(5) - Abrasive Blasting
1910.95(b)(1) - Noise Exposure
1910.120 - Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response
1910.156(f) - Fire Brigades
1910.252(a)(5) - Welding, Cutting, and Brazing
1910.261(b)(2) - Pulp, Paper, and Paperboard Mills
1910.262(qq) - Textiles
1910.266(c)(1) - Pulpwood Logging
1910.1000(d) - Asbestos Exposure
1910.1200(h)(2)(iii) - Hazard Communication Standard

I want to reduce 220VAC to 5VAC and using one 100K Ohm resistor and another 2K Ohm resistor. Two resistors are connected in series and measuring the voltage from middle of two resistors. I am happy with the result I am getting. It is giving 4.5 VAC, but the problem is 100K Ohm resistor is getting hot. I haven't used the 4.5 VAC to anything if you say the Amps are going high.
My question is: Is it normal if the 100K Ohm resistor gets hot? I might put 20mAh on 4.5 VAC. If the answer to my question is "no" then what should I do to make it work?
Claudio Avi Chami's answer is the answer to my question, he explained it very good, since he answered to my question I am marking it as an answer, but I like Whiskeyjack's answer. He gave me better idea for what I am trying to do. | <urn:uuid:c02d9054-50dc-4bf5-9d6a-7c96680f1a51> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/225844/reducing-the-ac-voltage-using-resistors/225848 | 2024-04-13T22:42:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.968779 | 207 |

The next moon eclipse will happen on August 7th at 18h20 GMT.
It is an excellent opportunity to listen to the message of the heart. What is tricky is that what we think is the message from the heart can be a message from the brain. The brain is very intelligent and can sometimes express messages that are more convenient than truthful.
If our heart’s message is not linked to love but is in any way linked to anger or fear, there is some true message behind it. Discrimination is necessary to be able to listen to one’s loving message from the heart. What we need to be thoughtful are questions like “am I thinking like this because this is how I want to be seen from other people?” or “am I trying to retaliate/prove my worth towards someone (very often coming from childhood – like one’s mother)” or “am I trying to keep my position as a victim?”.
During an eclipse, it is good to keep things simple and pure – eat good food, keep your words positive, have a bath to cleanse yourself in and out. Om Shanti. | <urn:uuid:d2840cf2-4b4b-40b0-bc87-0acaa8070ccb> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://en.keikoshanti.com/blog/314/ | 2024-04-13T22:17:23Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.956325 | 239 |
Nestled within steep limestone hills on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia, Ipoh has the proud heritage of a former tin mining boom town. While the current state capital of Perak had bigger heydays during the early 20th century, it is now better known amongst Malaysians for its excellent restaurants, hawkers, and famous local dishes. Old residents are returning to their beloved hometown, eager to remake Ipoh into the "City of Millionaires" yet again. The country's third largest city, with 657,852 inhabitants as of 2010, is also a gateway to the Cameron Highlands and Pangkor Island.
Ipoh was the city that tin built, developing into one of Malaysia's major cities after rich alluvial tin deposits were discovered in the Kinta Valley in 1876. Its location as the furthest navigable point on the Kinta River at that time made it a prime spot for the centre of all trading activities, an upstart little village bypassing the already established towns at nearby Gopeng and Papan. Waves of starry-eyed prospectors, many of them Chinese immigrants, came to find their fortunes working the mines and providing support services to the industry. It rapidly grew into Malaya's second commercial and administrative centre after Kuala Lumpur (the Straits Settlements of Singapore, Penang and Malacca were administered separately during the British colonial era), overtaking Taiping, the then state capital.
World War II hit Ipoh hard, with all mines shut down and left to flood. Even after their reopening, demand for tin continued to drop steadily over the years and production costs rose. It culminated in the debilitating crash of tin prices in October 1985 from cartel meddling which then became the final nail in the coffin for the mines, just slightly over one hundred years after the very first tin rush. Many residents of Ipoh finally left for greener pastures elsewhere, as their forefathers did before them, though the city has been slowly reclaiming its stature since. Food, and not tin, is now the word most synonymous with Ipoh.
The post-independence economic decline let the city escape the Brutalist towers of concrete that represent 1970s ideas of progress, and its colonial importance still shines in the grand old buildings, such as the railway station and the town hall, which complement the rows of shophouses. There are surprisingly few tall buildings for a city of its size due to height restrictions for the local airport, hence inadvertently maintaining its sleepy old town charm. However, this is soon to change after a push by the state government for more development projects.
Ipoh | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Climate chart (explanation) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
As in the rest of Malaysia, Ipoh has a typical tropical climate. Temperatures are generally constant year round, with daily highs of around 30-32°C (86-90°F) and nightly lows around 22-24°C (71-75°F). Rain and thunderstorms can also be expected fairly often, along with high humidity. The wettest months of the year are from October to November, while the least amount of rain is seen in January and February.
Visitor centre edit
- 1 Ipoh City Tourist Information Centre, Jln Bandar (near the Padang). 9PM-6PM except on public holidays. The visitor centre has a spacious hall with tourist brochures, photographs of historic landmarks and goodies from the local cottage industries. Staff are on hand to help with attraction and accommodation enquiries.
As in the rest of Malaysia, Malay is the lingua franca, However, most of the ethnic Chinese, who form the majority in Ipoh, speak Cantonese as their first language, and many are also able to speak Mandarin. Most of the Indians speak Tamil as their first language, and quite a few others speak Urdu. Most younger locals would be able to communicate in basic English.
Get in edit
By plane edit
- 1 Sultan Azlan Shah Airport (IPH IATA). Serves only a small number of flights, with a single domestic flight to Johor Bahru on AirAsia, and international services to Singapore on both AirAsia and Scoot.
For most visitors from elsewhere, the most practical option for getting to Ipoh would be to fly into either Kuala Lumpur or Penang, which have larger and better served airports, and make your way to Ipoh by road.
By train edit
From 2 Ipoh Railway Station, trains head as far north as Padang Besar (4h) and as far south as Johor Bahru (including Singapore) via Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur is predictably well served by several trains per day. To KL, prices for the old diesel trains (3 hr) range from RM12 to RM30 depending on class. New electric trains (2 hr) cost from RM25 (stopping service) to RM50 (express non-stop). ETS service to Butterworth (2 hr) has ticket prices of RM22-33. The train station can get crowded at times and there can be barely any space to sit or stand, particularly so on weekends when the roads around the station are also very jammed.
By bus edit
To get to the city centre (Stesen Bas Medan Kidd) from the terminal, you have to take T30a or T30b (myBAS) from the upper level. It costs around RM2 and runs about every 30 min. To pay you have to have a Touch'nGO card (which can be purchased at the information counter downstairs). Taxi fare will be at least RM20.
Most frequent routes are to and from Kuala Lumpur (Terminal Bersepatu Selatan), Singapore and Penang. Larger bus companies like Transnational, Plusliner, Konsortium and Sri Maju provide the most frequent, reliable and safe services. For Taiping and the Cameron Highlands, the local bus station (see Get around) is more convenient.
Some bus companies also operate from more convenient locations in the town: mainly 4 Jalan Bendahara. Choice is limited but for Kuala Lumpur, Penang, Butterworth or Singapore, they represent a better option than a trip out of town.
- Sri Maju 2, 4 & 6 Jalan Bendahara, +60 5 253 5367, fairly decent selection of destinations, including Hat Yai in Thailand. Tickets can be bought via their website and you can pay via credit cards.
- Lapan Lapan (88 brand), +65 6392 2188 (Singapore number) has services from Jalan Bendahara to Singapore (RM55).
- Grassland Express[dead link], Singapore based company, also serves Jalan Bendahara.
Starshuttle runs to Kuala Lumpur International Airport from Jalan Bercham (about RM40 one way).
By car edit
Ipoh is well connected to the North-South Expressway. You can get into Ipoh via Exit 137: Simpang Pulai or Exit 139: Ipoh Selatan.
Get around edit
Ipoh is split into half by the River Kinta: Old Town on the west side and New Town on the east. Old Town is walkable, New Town less so. City outskirts are reachable by taxis or public buses in a pinch, and your own wheels are best for further outlying areas. Streets were renamed in the 1980s. This can still be confusing as many locals still refer to the former colonial road names. The following list showing the old and new names is useful: Ipoh road names - old and new. Jalan Bijih Timah, for example, used to be known as Treacher Street.
By car edit
The city centre grid layout contains mainly one-way streets. Road maps are available in bookstores, tourist centres and online. Traffic is not as heavy as in other cities such as Kuala Lumpur but the rush hours are usually congested. There is adequate parking but finding a space may require some patience. Car rentals are available.
By bus edit
Local buses run around the city and its suburbs and have a hub called 2 Ipoh Bus Terminal, Medan Kidd (or also bas stesen), which is on Jalan Tun Abdul Razak in the old town (follow the road south from the railway station and past the post office, the bus station is on the right of the first big junction). This is not to be confused with Jalan Bendahara which is in the new town and has long distance services by some bus companies. Ipoh city buses: www.peraktransit.com.my may be useful.
Local bus information is not well published but there is a helpful information desk at the bus station. Visitors may find this bus station useful for its services to the Cameron Highlands and Taiping. Useful to look out for is local bus number 94, which heads from the bus station (bas stesen) through the old and new towns to the Sam Poh Tong Cave Temples. It calls at the following bus stops in the new town: Tingat Pasar, on the south side of Pasar Besar; at the junction of Jalan Raja Musa Aziz and Jalan Theatre; and on Jalan CM Yusuf, near the Grand Park Hotel and Sri Maju Bus Terminal.
On foot edit
Most roads have pavements and marked crossings, which makes strolling around the old streets a pleasant experience.
By bicycle edit
There are no hard and fast rules for cyclists, but you are expected to observe road rules at all times. Cyclists are forbidden from riding on the sidewalk but often do. Helmets are optional but not common.
By taxi edit
Prices are by negotiation. It is possible to take the taxi all the way up to Pengkelan Hulu (near the Thailand border, c. RM170 one way, c. RM300 return). Rides within the city should cost around RM5 to RM10. The better alternative to taxi is GrabCar, a Southeast Asian Uber alternative; through the app, you will see the price beforehand and are less likely to have to negotiate.
Old Town edit
The heart of Ipoh Old Town lies on the west banks of the Kinta River and is vaguely bounded by the train tracks. A two- to three-hour guided tour of the Ipoh heritage trail starts at the Railway Station at 8AM every Saturday (as of 2015, RM30 per person). Rejuvenated Kong Heng Square on Jalan Sultan Yussuf houses buzzing small cafes and shops.
Historic Buildings edit
- 1 Birch Memorial Clocktower, Jalan Dato Segor. Dedicated to the first British Resident Minister of Perak who was murdered by a local Malay chief. The chief's profitable trade in Orang Asli, indigenous tribal folk, was curtailed by the British abolition of slavery. By all accounts he wasn't well-liked personally and the road passing the tower's north side is now named in the killer's honour. It hosts friezes representing the progress of civilization and depicts various religious and secular worthies, but the Prophet Muhammad was painted out as a respect to local sensitivities.
- 2 Ipoh Railway Station, Jalan Sultan Iskandar. One of the three grand British-built stations on the former Malayan network. ETS trains connect this station, fondly dubbed "Taj Mahal of Ipoh", to KL's colonial beauty, Kuala Lumpur Railway Station (one stop before KL Sentral). The fountains on Ipoh Station square are active between 8PM and midnight. The cenotaph on Ipoh Station quare commemorates the deaths of different wars.
- 3 Ipoh Town Hall and Law Courts. The two buildings opposite the Railway Station, in neoclassical style.
- 4 Muzium Darul Ridzuan, Jalan Panglima Bukit Gantang. An interesting historical museum of Perak in a former tin-mining tycoon's pretty mansion.
- 5 Padang Ipoh (Ipoh Green). This immaculate lawn near Jalan S.P. Seenivasagam was planted by the British during the colonial period as the cricket ground for the Ipoh Club, then a whites-only establishment. Today, it still serves as the main cricket ground for the Royal Ipoh Club (re-named from the Ipoh Club after the Sultan of Perak was admitted as the club's first non-white member), and is also used as the club's football (soccer) ground when not in use for cricket. The surrounding historic buildings include the mock-Tudor style Royal Ipoh Club, FMS Bar, HSBC Building and the magnificent St Michael's Institution secondary school.
- 6 Han Chin Pet Soo (Ipoh World), 3 Jalan Bijih Timah. Appointment only, closed M. A painstakingly restored Hakka Miners' Club that documents the activities of tin miners far away from home with cash to spend. Opium smoking, gambling and prostitution were some favourite vices and are shown in all their glory through the use of carefully curated antique items. The history of tin mining in Perak is also exhibited with old mining equipment and photographs of the big towkays (bosses). Free but donations welcome.
- 7 Kinta Riverfront Walk. Come here at night, as trees are beautifully lighted up, making it a romantic riverside walk. There's a small hut with an interesting exhibit depicting the rise and fall of Ipoh's tin mining industry. It's also possible to hire bicycles for a more vigorous workout.
- 8 Little India. Various Indian related outlets, including clothing and food. And you can also find Indian restaurants and cafes here. Every year the Deepavali Carnival is held by locals here.
Street art edit
- Seven wall murals, of which six still exist in 2020, have been painted by Ernest Zacharevic, the same Lithuanian artist that took George Town by storm. The one on Jalan Bijih Timah (literally Tin Ore Road) showcases the once-important tin mining industry that made Ipoh. Pick up a map from the Ipoh Padang Old Town White Coffee branch, or just wander around the old town streets as each mural displays this map. In addition to these, more street art is hidden throughout the old town.
9 Uncle drinking coffee (Jalan Bandar).10 Paper plane (Jalan Tun Sambanthan).11 Five packets of kopi-O (Jalan Tun Sambanthan).12 Hummingbird (Jalan Panglima).13 Evolution (Jalan Bijeh Timah).14 Trishaw garbage collector (Concubine Lane 3).15 Girl and sparrows (painted over, not existing anymore) (Jalan Bandar Timah).16 Original kopi-o (Jalan Bandar Timah).
- In the new town, Erik Lai, a local art teacher, has initiated the painting of multiple murals on old heritage buildings in a effort to preserve them. These displays multiple aspect of the Malaysian culture : lion dance, kids kepang dance, a playful multi-mural displays kids playing hide&seek. All of these are found in a lane between Jalan Masjid and Jalan Sultan Iskandar (Hugh Low Street). See the murals at the 17 Mural Art’s Lane, Jalan Masjid, Taman Jubilee. Mural Art’s Lane lies in Ipoh New Town where all the murals were painted on the back walls of old heritage houses. In an attempt to preserve them, Eric Lai, a local art teacher, started the painting of numerous murals on those buildings. These demonstrate various facets of Malaysian culture, such as Chinese lion dance, kuda kepang Malay dance, traditional Indian dance, playful multi-mural displays of children playing hide & seek, beautiful waterfall scenery, etc.
Around Ipoh edit
Thousands of miles away from their motherlands, religion remained a touchstone for the Chinese and Indian communities. Cave temples abound in the karst limestone hills north and south of Ipoh, although only the richest and most famous are properly looked after and not forgotten.
- 18 Perak Tong (Perak Cave), Gunung Tasek. 8AM-5PM. Houses over 40 Buddha statues and many murals. There is a steep, tall staircase in the interior of the cave rising up to the top of its hill, where one is greeted by a beautiful and panoramic view of Ipoh and its surroundings. The statue of Buddha in Perak Tong is the tallest and largest of its kind in Malaysia. Perak Tong was built in 1926 by a Buddhist priest from China.
- 19 Sam Poh Tong (Cavern of Triple Gems). 9AM-2:15PM (for Sam Poh Tong). Actually a cluster of three Chinese temples in Gunung Rapat. The first temple, Ling Sen Tong is shrouded in the smokey haze of hundreds of joss sticks. Its neighbour, Nam Thean Tong, has hundreds of stairs that climb right through the mountain to high up on the other side, providing great views. Sam Poh Tong itself is the third of the row, just after the small coffee shop, where you should relax after climbing all the stairs of Nam Thean Tong. By this temple's entrance is a charming landscaped bonsai garden and fish pond; inside, a tunnel leads right through the rocks to the sanctuary of the temple and its tortoise pond; you can buy tomatoes for RM3 to feed the tortoise. On the road leading to the temples are stalls selling pomelos. Sam Poh Tong also contains a vegetarian restaurant. Local bus 94 continues to right next to these temples after passing the former Medan Gopeng Bus Terminal. RM10 in a taxi from the city should be enough, and regional buses will also get you there quickly from the centre of town.
- 20 Kek Lok Tong (Cavern of Ultimate Bliss), Pesiaran Sepakat 3, Tmn Endah Jaya. Calm Chinese cave temple with good views on the other side of the same limestone hill as Sam Poh Tong. Being newer and a little richer than the other cave temples, the place feels much airier and cleaner. Monkeys can be found here. Accessible through Gunung Rapat housing area. Taxi from Ipoh town should cost RM10.
- 21 Sri Maha Mariamman Temple, Jalan Sungai Pari, Buntong (just before the bridge on the river). An old Tamil temple. Not only is it religious in nature but also a place for discourses, and on Sundays, children are given an introduction to verses in Tamil.
Outside Ipoh edit
Peaceful Batu Gajah was initially the planned European centre for Kinta Valley in the Federated Malay States, but the rough and tumble Ipoh quickly stole its crown. The areas surrounding Ipoh were similarly diminished by the tin mining crash, and may yet be absorbed into Ipoh proper.
- 22 Kellie's Castle. The deserted mansion of an eccentric Scottish planter, located in Batu Gajah, is half an hour's drive from Ipoh city centre. Its main appeal lies in the belief that it is haunted and that secret passages leading to hidden chambers exist. A taxi will cost you around RM50-60 and they will usually wait for an hour (which is long enough to look around). RM5 for adults, RM3 for kids 3-12.
- 23 Tanjung Tualang Tin Dredge Ship, 9th Km, Jalan Tanjung Tualang, Batu Gajah. The last tin dredge that has not been dismantled from its old workspace is an example of how easy it was to extract alluvial deposits from the river by merely scooping up tin-bearing soil on an industrial scale and filtering out the ore. There is a small museum and tours are available for both the outside and inside of the dredge depending on pricing. RM5-15.
- 24 Papan. A century-old half-deserted mining town built on a rich deposit of tin that was due to be dug up before the price of the metallic ore halved in the 1980s. In the war years, resistance fighters based themselves here as the last outpost before the inhospitable jungle terrain, even setting up an invaluable free clinic and dispensary. Nowadays nature is slowly taking its own course, with caved-in roofs and overgrown houses, though the odd elderly resident seems content in their familiar surroundings.
- Cricket: Royal Ipoh Club (at Padang Ipoh). Founded in 1895, this is the club's football and cricket ground.
- 1 Caving at Gua Tempurung. Gua Tempurung is the largest limestone cave in Peninsular Malaysia. Located close to the North South Highway's Gopeng Exit, it provides the opportunity to explore in detail the insides of a limestone cave. You can choose to experience a short tour of the cave or adventure into the far end of the cave by walking off the walkways and in the cave river. The wet adventures have you wading in the cold underground water, squeezing through holes and sliding over smooth rocks, but require at least 8 people to start. RM6-22.
- White Water Rafting, Kampar River. Get wet and wild with nature on the Kampar River, a 12-km ride down big rapids, taking 1½ to 2 hours depending on how high the water level is. The rapids have some of the easiest grades for beginners and are a good choice for family bonding. Transport from a set location (usually Gua Tempurung) to the river is usually provided by the guides and participants also get a briefing on safety, paddling and rafting techniques. Radak Adventure and Nomad Adventure are two such companies in the area. RM100-200.
- 2 Bukit Kledang, Menglembu. Trek up one of the many trails up the Menglembu-Kledang Hills (these are the hills you can see to the west of Ipoh with the radio-TV masts on the top) to enjoy the awe-inspiring view of the limestone outcrops that surround Ipoh. If unsure of how to get to these trails, just ask the many locals who trek up daily in the early mornings and late evenings. If you have a GPS, hikes can either start from 101° 1.813'E/4° 34.577'N or at 101° 1.638'E/ 4° 34.312'N where the paved road to the summit begins. Most trails are open and hot (take a hat and water) but much of Trail 4.9 is through shady forest. There are interesting plants and some wildlife (long-tailed macaques, pig-tailed macaques, leaf monkeys, and siamang) to be seen if you are lucky.
- 3 Ulu Geroh. Be an ecotourist and experience the rainforest here. This is an Orang Asli kampung about one hour's drive into the hills east of Gopeng. The last half of the ride is along a rough road (4x4 preferred) through rubber, durian and oil palm plantations to the village on the edge of the rainforest. Guides from the Orang Asli community take visitors to see the parasitic Rafflesia flower (the largest flower in the world) and the Raja Brooke's Birdwing butterfly as well as other forest bugs, plants, etc. There's also a small but beautiful waterfall. You will need your IC or passport number for the visitor log book. Basic accommodation is available at Ulu Geroh itself or in a rural setting at three nearby eco-resorts: (My Gopeng Resort, Rumah Rehat Adeline and Gopeng Rainforest Resort).
Parks and recreation edit
- 4 The Lost World of Tambun. Ipoh's only water theme park provides great rides and entertainment for families and also organizes tours into the nearby limestone caves for those interested in eco-tourism. It has a petting zoo that allows children to feed and pet a variety of animals. Tambun has been traditionally known for its juicy pomelo fruit and the Tambun Hot Springs (now known as the Lost World Hot Springs and Spa). Soaking in these hot springs is said to bring health benefits to the body because of the high sulphur content in the water. RM40-50.
- 5 Gunung Lang. A general recreational park with a man-made waterfall and a long waterfront boardwalk. The serene 80-foot-deep lake, like many others in the region, hides the deep scars tin mining made on the landscape. There's a mini zoo and playground for the kids and campsites for overnight stays. A boat ride is required to get across the lake to the park. RM3.
- Golf. The Perak Royal Golf Club is the oldest of the golf courses located close to the city centre but there are also great golf courses at Clearwater Sanctuary in Batu Gajah and Meru Valley in Jelapang. Clearwater Sanctuary and Meru Valley also provide accommodation.
Local specialities edit
Pastries like Ipoh fragrant biscuits (香饼 or heong pang), traditional flaky biscuits containing a sticky sweet malt paste, are always popular. Handmade examples are rare though the factory-made ones are longer lasting and handily packed for souvenirs. Malaysia's best pomelos (柚), a citrus fruit with massive rind and mild taste, are reputedly from Tambun, about 10 km north of the city centre. Pottery is also produced for export. If pots are your bag, try Jalan Kuala Kangsar. Coffee beans specially roasted with palm-oil margarine, better known as white coffee, originated from Ipoh. The packet versions are not particularly special and are sold throughout the country anyway.
Ipoh Fragrant Biscuits aka Heong Pang (香饼) edit
- 1 Seng Kee Food Trading, 177 Lorong Gunung Rapat 3, ☏ . Still making heong pang in the traditional manner in the backyard of their house, and worth a look just to see the masters at work. The biscuits are broiled to a crisp in giant clay jars over a carefully managed coconut husk fire, then cooled and packed into pink translucent bags tied off with a rubber band. They usually last a week before going soft. There's another cottage factory called 189 Heong Peah the next road over on Lorong Gunung Rapat 5 too. RM7 for a packet of ten.
- 2 Yee Hup, 151 Jln Sultan Iskandar, ☏ . The family-operated business started at home in the 1980s, before becoming a corporate company pumping out biscuits by the truckload from industrial sized electric ovens. The convenient branch in town usually has varieties not found elsewhere. RM9 for a packet of ten.
Egg Tarts edit
- 3 Hong Kee Confectionery (鸿记饼家), 14, Jalan Dato Onn Jaafar, ☏ . 7AM-2PM, closed on Fridays. Family business famous for their Cantonese-style egg tarts. Come early as possible to avoid disappointments. RM1.6/piece.
- 4 Chin Pomelo Farm (Gerai Limau Tambun Chin), 158258A Jln Ampang, ☏ . There are two types of pomelo to try, sweet (pale cream flesh) or sour (pink flesh). They vary on ripeness, depending on whether they're meant to be eaten fresh or for prayers. Starfruits and guavas are also grown on the farm. Closer to town, a bunch of pomelo stalls open in front of Sam Poh Tong. About RM15 a pomelo.
Traditional markets edit
- 5 Memory Lane (Pasar Karat). A flea market along Jalan Lim Bo Seng that takes places every Sunday morning. It is a good place to find imitation goods, antiques and other interesting local souvenirs. Be ready to bargain for the best price and be conscious of the fact that some stuff being sold here is probably stolen goods.
- Pasar Malam - night markets, stalls selling a variety of food, groceries, toys, clothes and household items. They move to various locations throughout the week:
- Monday: Taman Menglembu, Taman Ipoh Jaya (near Gunung Rapat)

- Thursday: Taman SPPK
- Friday: Taman Pertama; Pekan Razaki (near Taman Ipoh Jaya)

- 6 Gerbang Malam, 21 7, Jalan Dato Tahwil Azhar. A popular night market among locals . Sells mainly shoes and clothes. Great imitations of backpacks, glasses and watches can be found as well...
Shopping malls edit
- The 7 Kinta City Shopping Centre and 8 Ipoh Parade are the two older malls in the city. Both have a fair range of branded stores, with good bargains during sale periods that could be of interest to keen shoppers. AEON has also opened up big shopping malls at 9 AEON Station 18 and 10 AEON Ipoh Klebang, the latter of which has the first Uniqlo and H&M stores in Perak.
- For a stretch of quaint boutiques, visit Ipoh Garden South.
When tin mining died out, food sustained Ipoh and made the city bustle once more. Like everywhere in Malaysia, the local food is dirt cheap and sublime. Loads of people come from all over just to fill their bellies, creating a headache of congestion during weekends. Quite a few locals already avoid the most famous stalls, whether due to dropping standards or the unrelenting crowds. Some specialities to look out for include: chicken and beansprouts (芽菜雞), Ipoh kai see hor fun (怡保鸡丝河粉) and salt-baked chicken (盐锔鸡). Due to its Cantonese-majority population, Ipoh is also a very good place to have dim sum.
Early-rising Ipoh loves breakfast and brunch, and has scrumptious treats and coffee to match. Egg tarts are a popular Western-styled dim sum dish that made it off the cart and one can get white coffee (also see #Drink) or soybean milk to wash it down.
- 1 Sin Meng Kee Products, Jalan Datuk Onn Jafar 34 (corner with Jalan Foo Choo Choon) (in front of the Central Market (UTC Perak)). 6:30AM-5PM. Excellent Chinese vegetarian restaurant, there for more than 50 years. Very large options of food, mostly rice with toppings. Amazing mock meat and mushrooms. Self service. You will be charged after you finish putting food on your plate by someone checking what you got. Large range of drinks and take away also possible. RM7.5 for rice with two toppings (Dec 2017).
- 2 Choy Kee Bakery (才記餅家), Kampung Simee & 218 Lebuh 3, Kampung Simee. 5AM onwards. A little out of the way for most tourists, retaining their authenticity. They sell Chinese breakfast pastries like prawn fritters, pork buns. They are best known for their flaky custard egg tarts. Operates from a stall in the market from 5AM-11AM, after which, they operate from their bakery at Lebuh 3.
Rice noodles edit
The rice noodles (sar hor fun or kueytiao) found in Ipoh kai see hor fun and other dishes are particularly light and silky smooth, said to benefit from their preparation in mineral-rich spring water that flows through the limestone hills. Add clear chicken and prawn soup with chicken shreds, prawns and spring onions, and kai see hor fun can be had for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Chu cheong fun is similarly springy and delicious. Popular noodle dishes like yong tau foo and hor hee are also worth a try.
- 3 Dai Shu Geok (Big Tree Foot), 652 Jln King, Pasir Pinji, ☏ . 8:30AM-5:30PM. Sells a variety of noodles accompanied by a large selection of yong tau foo, vegetables stuffed with fish paste. Soup base is also variable, from the normal clear chicken soup to the lemak coconut-based curry soup. The busy stall is set up underneath the shade of a few big trees, hence the name.
- 4 Restoran Li Heng Fatt, 14 Jln Panglima. 11AM-10PM. Bouncy fishballs, springy fish cakes and chewy fish paste dumplings, all served in a light soup with noodles of your choice, altogether better known as hor hee. Add a dipping of soya sauce and tiny chilli padi for that extra bit of spice.
- 5 Restoran Nam Chau, 54 Jln Bandar Timah. 7AM-3PM, closed Sa. Their dry curry noodles are topped with roast pork, chicken, prawns and a generous dousing of rich curry gravy.

Also, their white coffee is among the best and can be taken alongside half-boiled eggs and kaya toast.
- 6 Restoran Kong Heng, 75 Jln Bandar Timah (Next to Thean Chun). 8AM-4:30PM, closed W. Classic Chinese coffee shop with a variety of hawkers. They're noted best for their Ipoh kai see hor fun.

- 7 Restoran Thean Chun, 73 Jln Bandar Timah (Next to Kong Heng), ☏ . 8AM-4:30PM, closed Th. Also known as the "hall of mirrors" for the large mirrors adorning the walls of the coffee shop, it is famous for its pork satay and Ipoh kai see hor fun. Their caramel egg custard is a perennial favourite, and can sometimes sell out by noon on weekends. The satay man might plonk a whole bunch of sticks on your table, but you're only obliged to pay for the ones you eat (he'll count the empty sticks), and the rest are returned back to the grill. Located next to Kong Heng, one can order food from any hawker in either coffee shop, except for hor fun.
Food courts and stalls edit
There are still many hidden delights outside of the city centre of course, and if you can't quite decide what to eat or want something outside of normal Malaysian fare, there're always food courts which are a little more organised than the traditional coffeeshops.
- 8 Tong Sui Kai (糖水街), Jalan Sultan Ekram (Next to Sam Tet High School). 5PM-1AM depending on the stall. Long stretch of about 50 inexpensive hawker stalls selling mainly dessert but also a variety of Malaysian food. Best for dessert with a large selection of stalls selling Rojak, Ais Kacang and local speciality mixed fruits. Stalls 21 and 41 appear to be pretty popular dessert spot among locals. RM2-7 (June 2017).
- 9 Kafe Best Hillview (山景美食中心). dinner only. Popular spot for dinner with a dozen of stalls serving local food. Can be difficult to find a seat and is a bit of a windy spot. Prices run a bit high for street food RM2-10 (June 2017).
- 10 Medan Aneka Selera/Gourmet Square (Tung Koo Thing), Lengkok Canning (Next to Woolley Food Court). Dinners only. Variety is the name of the game here. A giant food court with hawkers selling just about every local fare imaginable as well as local renditions of Japanese, Thai and Western fare. One of the attractions is a stall selling exotic Chinese seafood.
- 11 Family Food Court (Woolley Food City), Lengkok Canning, Ipoh Garden (Next to Medan Aneka Selera). Lunch Only. A food court selling a variety of local dishes as well as some localized versions of Japanese, Vietnamese, Western and Thai cuisine. The ais kacang from ABC Desserts, especially the gula melaka version, is a sinfully sweet mix of red beans, cendol (pandan-flavoured rice strands), condensed milk, syrup combined with shaved ice - perfect on hot days.
South Asian edit
There's an equally wide South Asian diaspora, evident in the assortment of eateries all specialising in different areas of the subcontinental cuisine, from the Indian Muslim mamaks who serve crispy roti canai and rich nasi kandar to the South Indian curry houses.
- 12 Nasi Kandar Yong Suan, 2 Jln Yang Kalsom. Nicknamed "Nasi Ganja" for the addictive quality of their food that keeps people coming back for more. Housed in a crowded non-descript coffeeshop, join the queue and choose a selection of various dishes like ayam merah (red chicken curry) and spicy egg omelette, then watch as the proprietor pours the special mixed curry sauce all over your plate of rice. They have a separate shop lot called Nasi Vanggey on Persiaran Greentown 11.
- 13 Restoran Samy, 70 Jln Besar, Chemor. South Indian style banana leaf rice, the choices of curry are aplenty. Besides the typical chicken, fish, prawn, squid and mutton curries, they also serve crab, shark and seasonally, turkey curry as well.
Ayam tauge, or chicken and bean sprouts, are a famous Ipoh twist on Hainanese poached chicken and can be paired with plain rice or the ever-popular sar hor fun in soup served with lightly blanched bean sprouts doused in soy sauce and sesame oil. Salt-baked chicken, on the other hand, is a Hakka delicacy which makes full use of free-range kampong chicken, wrapping them in paper and then baking them in large woks filled with heated salt.
- 14 Aun Kheng Lim, 24 Jln Theatre, ☏ . 11AM-10PM. The red-and-white striped corner shop is the place for local speciality salt-baked chicken. Tender meat falls off the bone, just about enough to share for two or for one very hungry person. There's drive-through business like Funny Mountain down the street. RM25-35.
- 15 Cowan Street Ayam Tauge & Koitiau, 44 Jln Raja Ekram, ☏ . 7PM onwards, closed M-Tu. Less famous than Lou Wong and Onn Kee, yet far more popular among locals. Their opening hours are actually more variable than listed, but it doesn't stop hungry patrons from turning up and hoping to fill their cravings. RM20-30.
- 16 Restoran Tauge Ayam Lou Wong, 49 Jln Yau Tet Shin, ☏ . 10:30AM-2:30AM. Claims to be Ipoh's most famous purveyor of nga choy kai, the local speciality chicken and beansprouts. It's almost always a crowd here. Chances are you'll have to wait and right on the road to boot, though the large kitchen churning out dish after dish is interesting to watch. RM20-30.
- 17 Ong Kee Restaurant, 51 Jln Yau Tet Shin (Next to Lou Wong Restaurant), ☏ . 1PM-3AM. Onn Kee and Lou Wong have a much touted rivalry, having had stalls opposite each other for as long as locals can remember. Their quality is a little more consistent compared to the other place. RM20-30.

One of the most well-known delights of Cantonese cuisine, dim sum for breakfast in Ipoh is not just tasty and reasonably priced, but is a long-held weekend tradition for generations of families here. Jln Leong Sin Nam has been coined "Dim Sum Street" because of the concentration of popular dim sum outlets.
- 19 Foh San Restaurant, 51 Jln Leong Sin Nam, ☏ . 6AM-1PM, closed Tu. Most well established dim sum restaurant in the city. Tourists flock here by the bus loads (literally). Even with two floors, weekends have the place filled to the brim, with strangers sitting next to strangers as long as there's an open seat. Not the place for a leisurely chat over tea unless you get there very early in the morning. RM25-35.
- 20 Ming Court Hong Kong Dim Sum, 32 Jln Leong Sin Nam, ☏ . 6AM-noon. Many locals will argue that the dim sum here is superior to the more well known Foh San though their servings portions are also smaller. Their tong sui (sweet dessert drinks) are just as popular. RM25-35.
- 21 Restoran Yoke Fook Moon, 67-69 Jln Leong Sin Nam, ☏ . 6-10AM, 6:30PM-11PM. The lesser known Dim Sum restaurant on "Dim Sum Street", one can generally avoid the crowds here. The char siew baos are freshly steamed and fluffy. Portions are slightly bigger and unlike Foh San and Ming Court, this place is open for dinner too. RM20-30.
Chinese banquet restaurants that serve seafood are a reliable shout for fancier dinners. If you travel out to see the tin dredge at Tanjung Tualang, it's also known for their large big-headed udang galah (freshwater prawns). There are at least ten seafood restaurants in this small township alone, earning it the name of Lobster Town.
- 22 Mun Choong Restaurant (Pusing Public Seafood Restaurant), 511-517 Jln Pasir Puteh, ☏ . The popular choice for special family occasions in Ipoh because of their consistently good food and large portions. Their steamed freshwater prawns with ginger are a crowd favourite. Service is attentive and efficient. RM60+.
- 23 Sun Swee Kiong, 15-17 Jln Homan, Tanjung Tualang, ☏ . The place stands out with its large aquariums teeming with soon-to-be dinner. Kon chin har, pan-fried prawns to be dipped in soya sauce, is the dish you'll see on everybody's table. Prawns usually cost 30 bucks a pop. Expensive? Perhaps, but it doesn’t stop intrepid food hunters from making long detours just to have a meal here. RM40-60.
A growing number of Western cafes and restaurants have been opened by Ipoh residents returning from KL or overseas, with clusters around Kong Heng Square and Bandar Baru Medan. Indulgence Restaurant remains the pioneer and the standard bearer.
- 24 Citrus Wine & Dine, 38-46 Laluan Ipoh Perdana, ☏ . Tu-Su 6:30AM-3PM, 6:30-11PM. Modern European fine-dining cuisine with Asian flair in a cosy atmospheric shophouse. Service is excellent with a selection of wines and cocktails. Offers cheaper 3-course set lunches during weekdays. RM90-120.

Ipoh has a small and still growing night scene. Bandar Baru Medan (behind the Kinta City Shopping Centre) has been the usual haunt for supper for the last decade or so, albeit with a large turnover of pubs and bars. The newer nightlife area is around New Town and Greentown, and also the revitalised Lorong Panglima in Old Town, a narrow alley once notoriously known as Concubine Lane, where rich businessmen used to house their mistresses back when the tin mines were booming.
White coffee edit
Ipoh white coffee was invented here: to reduce the bitterness of coffee roasted in the European style without adding sugar (as during the roasting of Kopi-O), beans are roasted with palm-oil margarine. The result is a mild tasting kiddies' version of what westerners would call real coffee. A few genuine Chinese coffee shops that sell Ipoh white coffee are located opposite the Kinta Heights flats in the old town.
- 1 Nam Heong Coffee Shop, 2 Jln Bandar Timah. 6AM-6PM. This Chinese coffee shop is the home of the famous "Ipoh White Coffee" and has links to the big OldTown coffee chain too. The egg tarts are fresh out of the oven, all sweet and flaky. Also serves fried rice noodles and other local eats. Meals from RM3.
- 2 Sin Yoon Loong Coffee Shop, 1 Jalan Bandar Timah. Located across the street from Nam Heong Coffee Shop, they are rivals in the "White Coffee" business. A favoured breakfast location among locals, they also serve good kaya cakes, which are sponge cakes with coconut jam. Meals from RM3.
- 3 OldTown White Coffee, 3 Jalan Tun Sambathan (on the Padang, opposite the Tourist Information Office), ☏ . 9AM-12:30AM. Chain of coffee shops selling Ipoh's very own white coffee in comfortable surroundings. The first outlet actually began in Ipoh Garden South. Reasonably priced but uninspiring snacks. A rarity in Ipoh but standard in all branches is free Wi-Fi. Coffee RM3.50.
Bars and pubs edit
For those more inclined to clubbing, Sensation of Sound on Jalan Yang Kalsom and House Music Club on Jalan Sultan Idris Shah are open for business, although a little quiet and empty on weekday nights.
- 4 Bricks and Barrels, 28-30 Jln Lau Ek Ching, ☏ . 4PM-1AM. A self-fashioned gastrobar, the place is a good place for families to dine during evenings in the quieter restaurant section before the nightbirds come in to chill around the open alfresco area. They serve pizzas, roast pork and ribs and German bratwursts among others (non-halal obviously), and the bar does draft beer, shots and cocktails.
- 5 Miners' Arms Bistro, 8-10 Jln Dato Maharajalela (in the commercial part of the old town), ☏ . Mock Tudor pub complete with wonky stained wooden beams and correctly placed apostrophe. The convivial clientele is entirely ethnic Chinese but the inevitable karaoke is kept at a civilized volume.

Stay safe edit
Ipoh is in general a very safe city, certainly by international standards. However, there are some irritants like beggars, especially at bus terminals. It is better not to attract any unwanted attention by giving money to the beggars as most of them are professional beggars operated by syndicates.
Perhaps not so much a safety thing per se, but at the Central Market in New Town, particularly if you are an orang putih (white person), don't let the traders rip you off (which they are likely to do, if you let them). If the prices are signed clearly, hold them to it! Learning how to say "It's too expensive" in Cantonese, Mandarin, or Malay as the case may be, is also very helpful. Furthermore, Ipoh is probably not as tourist-friendly as some publications make it out to be.
The city centre is relatively safe, but again, pickpockets do work in the stations. If you are carrying a bag make sure that it's secured (all zipped up). If you have a wallet in your pocket keep a hand near it while exiting the buses. It is not advisable to leave your handbag dangling on your shoulder while walking next to main roads, as motorcycle snatch thefts do happen.

Reinforced Israeli deterrence will advance interests of pro-US Arab countries; Hesitant Israel will only help terrorists and rogue regimes
The suggestion that the application of the Israeli law to the Jordan Valley and parts of Judea and Samaria would jeopardize Israel’s peace treaties with Jordan and Egypt and Israel’s overall ties with Arab countries, is divorced from the Israeli track record and Middle East reality.
Israel’s track record
The resurgence of the Jewish State from the ashes of WW2 to global prominence, technologically, scientifically, medically, agriculturally, economically, diplomatically and militarily – despite systematic adverse global pressure and Arab wars and terrorism – has demonstrated that there are no free lunches for independent nations, especially in the Middle East.
For example, in 1948, Prime Minister Ben Gurion, Israel’s Founding Father, did not wait for a green light from the White House, in order to declare independence. He was aware that a declaration of independence would trigger a costly Arab military invasion. The CIA estimated that it could amount to “a second Holocaust.” However, Ben Gurion concluded that achieving a supreme goal was preconditioned upon the willingness to pay a supreme cost. Indeed, the war against the Arab invasion consumed 1% (6,000) of the Jewish population (600,000). Fending off the Arab invasion, Israel expanded its borders by 30%, and would not retreat to the suicidal 1947 lines, despite brutal global (including US) condemnation.
In June 1967, Prime Minister Eshkol preempted a planned Egypt-Syria-Jordan joint offensive, in defiance of prominent Israelis who predicted a resounding Israeli defeat, and despite a strong red light from the White House (“Israel will not be alone unless it decides to go alone”). Eshkol was aware that Israel’s existence, in the violently intolerant and unpredictable Middle East, required a firm posture of deterrence, which could entail heavy cost. In the aftermath of the war, Eshkol reunited Jerusalem and renewed Jewish presence beyond the 1949/1967 indefensible Green Line, in spite of a very heavy US and global pressure.

In June 1981, Prime Minister Begin ordered the destruction of Iraq’s nuclear reactor, notwithstanding the menacing red light from the White House and the opposition by the Mossad, the IDF Intelligence and additional Israeli defense authorities. The naysayers were certain that an Israeli attack had a very slim chance of success. They feared that this would trigger a global Islamic assault on Israel; it would produce a European boycott of Israel, would create an irreparable rift with the USA and would doom Israel, economically and diplomatically. Begin decided that sparing Israel a nuclear assault justified even a traumatic cost. In December 1981, Begin applied Israeli law to the Golan Heights, disregarding the brutal US opposition, which included the suspension of a US-Israel strategic accord and the supply of advanced military systems.
The aforementioned Israeli Prime Ministers defied international pressure, and therefore were burdened with a short-term loss of global popularity. However, they earned long-term respect for their willingness to defy the odds at severe cost. Thus, they bolstered Israel’s posture of deterrence, which has played a key role in enhancing Israel’s national security and Israel’s regional/global standing, including its unprecedented military and commercial cooperation with all pro-US Arab countries.
Middle East reality (Israel-Arab relations)
Conventional wisdom is that an Israeli application of its law to the Jordan Valley and parts of Judea and Samaria would threaten the Israel-Jordan and Israel-Egypt peace treaties, and could abort the burgeoning relations between Israel and all Arab Gulf States. Such a school of thought underestimates key Arab national security priorities, which have always transcended the Palestinian issue. It ignores the significant role played by Israel’s posture of deterrence in the national security strategy of Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Oman and Kuwait.
For example, the 1994 Israel-Jordan peace treaty reflects Jordanian national security priorities, rather than a Jordanian reconciliation with the existence of an “infidel” Jewish State in the “abode of Islam.”
Just like all Arab regimes – and especially since the eruption of the still raging Arab Tsunami in 2010 – the pro-US regime in Amman is highly vulnerable, domestically and regionally.
Irrespective of its pro-Palestinian rhetoric, Jordan’s actions – since 1949 when it occupied Judea and Samaria, while prohibiting Palestinian political activity – have represented the overall Arab view of the Palestinians as a role model of intra-Arab subversion and terrorism.
Jordan’s Hashemite regime considers the proposed Palestinian state a clear and present lethal threat. At the same time, it considers Israel’s posture of deterrence as its most effective line of defense against lethal threats, domestically (subversion by Palestinians, Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS and hostile southern Bedouin) and externally (Iran’s Ayatollahs, Iraq and Syria).
King Abdullah II is aware of the key role played by Israel’s posture of deterrence in forcing a retreat of the 1970 Syrian invasion of Jordan, when the US was unable to extend military help.
Jordan considers Israel a unique source of intelligence and counter-terrorism assistance. Israel supplies water to the 1.5 million refugees from Syria, provides Jordan with commercial access to the port of Haifa and price-discounted offshore natural gas. Moreover, Israel is the most effective lobby for Jordan in Washington, DC. In addition, Israel has accorded Jordan a prominent inter-Islamic plum: the custodian of Jerusalem’s Moslem and Christian holy sites.
Is King Abdullah II expected to cut off his nose to spite his face?!
Saudi Arabia and the other Arab Gulf States, as well as Egypt, regard Israel as a most reliable and effective ally in the face of mutual threats, such as Iran’s Ayatollahs, the Muslim Brotherhood, ISIS, Turkey’s Erdogan and potential tectonic spillovers from Iraq and Syria.
This Saudi-Israel congruence of national security interests eclipses the role played by the Palestinian issue in Riyadh’s order of national priorities.
In fact, Riyadh considers the proposed Palestinian state a potential rogue regime, siding with its arch enemies. Hence, the effective Saudi opposition (contrary to its rhetoric) to the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Furthermore, Saudi Arabia appreciates the Israeli technological and potential scientific contribution to its effort to diversify their oil-dependent economy.
Thus, the national security concerns of the pro-US Arab countries is advanced by a reinforced Israeli posture of deterrence. On the other hand, a hesitant, appeasing and retreating Israel, which sacrifices its independence of national security action on the altar of overseas green lights, whets the appetite of terrorists and rogue regimes, which threatens the national security of Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and all other pro-US Arab countries; thus, undermining vital US interests.

Togo Murano(村野藤吾 1891 -1984) , the architect, with his strong commitment to excellent craftsmanship, has many fans especially among Japanese people.
He was a master of the craft who ruled over the architectural world of the Showa Era, and was referred to as “The Kenzo Tange of the East, and Togo Murano of the West”.
The Nissay Theatre in Hibiya Tokyo, often mentioned as one of Murano’s masterpieces, occasionally holds free architectural tours, so I decided to drop by.
A guide kindly explained a great deal about Murano’s nearly paranoid-level commitment to his style, so I’ll be introducing this unique architectural space while adding what I learned.
First, the entrance.
It’s rumored that some of the mountains in Spain disappeared because of the sheer amount of beautiful, white marble used. Murano was very particular about eliminating the border between the floor and the reception counter in the photo, and so it looks almost as if it has grown up from the floor.
From trash bins and stands to ash trays, nearly everything located within the theatre was originally designed by Murano.
And the red carpet of the stairs leading to the theatre floor is not actually placed on the floor, but the marble has been hollowed out and the carpet embedded. (!)
The handrail with its elegant, delicate curves, was created with the image of “a gentleman reaching out to a lady.”
One of Murano’s famed architectural pieces, the elegant spiral staircase.
Apparently, Murano was very particular about the back of this spiral staircase being perfectly smooth, and didn’t overlook even the smallest of irregularities.
If you touch it, it really is incredibly smooth, and you can almost hear the groans of the tired workers from the time it was made.
The ceiling inside the theatre is akoya pearl oyster, and the walls are glass mosaic tiles. Together they create a wide-open, dreamy space that almost makes you dizzy.
It is said that no matter how hard the skilled craftsmen worked, the task of sticking the tiny pieces of baked glass onto the wall only progressed about 10cm(3.9in) per day.
And apparently, during the final check, Murano was displeased with this corner of the theatre door marked in the photo and personally added a small accent. From the eyes of an amateur, the need for the accent is a complete mystery…
When looking at the way the chairs are aligned, perhaps a number of people feel it’s a little “insane” or “like a nightmare.”
Murano was famous as an extreme perfectionist. When taking a tour of another of his works, the Meguro Ward General Government Building, a guide said that Murano looked up at the ceiling 7 floors above himself and said “I need to move that 10cm to the right…” or something along those lines. (That eyesight is nothing to laugh at, either…!)
I asked the guide, “Weren’t there any craftsmen at the time devastated after hearing that?” to which he replied, “Well, he was a god, so…” It seems everyone at the time followed Murano unwaveringly.
The pure passion and desire to create something truly good along with an extraordinary level of perseverance created a piece of architecture which is still cherished today.
That being said, the ‘perfect’ structure originally envisioned by the master Murano has been partially altered due to unavoidable circumstances such as creating a barrier-free space, the addition of LED lighting, etc.
Although I’m not personally connected to the architecture, even I thought “Murano must be rolling over in his grave over these changes…” and felt a bit worried. If you stop by sometime, I recommend you stop and take the time to take in all the details of the building. I think it deserves to be a world heritage site.
The number of buildings left by Togo Murano is decreasing, but some remain, so if you ever travel around Japan you should definitely add them to your list of sights to see.

According to LinkedIn’s User Agreement, each LinkedIn account should be tied to an individual. But there are several compelling reasons why sharing a LinkedIn account isn't advisable.
👩💼 Sharing vs Managing
Firstly, sharing an account doesn’t offer any benefits.
Considering LinkedIn registration is free, having separate accounts allows you to maintain your distinct connections, personalise your content, and curate your profile as per your preferences without risking each other’s reputation or getting confused.
However, if your only purpose in accessing a LinkedIn account is to manage it on behalf of someone else, the dynamics change. That’s what we’ll be discussing in this article.
It's noteworthy that LinkedIn doesn’t explicitly forbid having another person manage your account for you.
⚠ Risks of 2 People Using 1 LinkedIn Account
Sharing a single account between two individuals escalates the risk of suspension or permanent banning of the account.
If the account gets suspended, LinkedIn may request identity verification to return it - a clear photo of a valid government-issued ID card, driver's licence, or passport.
Should the account owner be a real person who granted you permission to manage their account, this verification process is relatively straightforward.
Remember, LinkedIn is only trying to protect you from hackers!
🧾 Best Practices for 2 People Using 1 LinkedIn Account Safely
Avoid Simultaneous Logins: Ensure that both users don’t access the LinkedIn account concurrently, as simultaneous activity can trigger scrutiny from LinkedIn.
Use a Proxy or VPN: Both users should utilise these tools to mask their IP addresses and locations, making it harder for LinkedIn to flag unusual activity.
Utilise Separate Chrome Profiles: If you’re managing someone else’s LinkedIn account while having your own, use separate Chrome profiles. Each profile maintains its own set of cookies and cached data.
Ultimately, the risks involved in sharing one LinkedIn account lie with both the owner and the manager. However, many individuals, such as Virtual Assistants or Social Media Managers, have effectively managed LinkedIn accounts under these circumstances.
By diligently following all the three tips outlined above, you significantly decrease any potential risks.
Always grant account access to only trustworthy and reliable individuals. Otherwise, your account and your reputation could be at risk.
Exercise caution, prioritise safety, and protect your LinkedIn presence. | <urn:uuid:d40e67ba-471f-4638-b364-38b59f6976f4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://engageai.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/HelpStrategyHub/pages/43515953/Multiple+People+Sharing+or+Managing+The+Same+LinkedIn+Account | 2024-04-13T23:30:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.907772 | 496 |

“The crabs tried to escape through the rocks, the shrimps piled on top of one another, practically making a paste, the eels jumped, the water boiled.” That’s how Carmen Rodríguez described the disturbing sight she saw on Saturday, October 12 on the beach of San Pedro del Pinatar, in the southeastern Spanish region of Murcia.
Fish suffocating due to a lack of oxygen have come to symbolize the environmental collapse of Mar Menor, the largest saltwater lagoon in Europe.
Experts put the disaster down to the management of the land surrounding the lagoon, which itself covers 17,000 hectares. More specifically, they blame intensive farming for contaminating the soil and the groundwater with nitrates from fertilizers, which end up in the Mar Menor, causing eutrophication. This happens when there is an excessive amount of nutrients the water, provoking the growth of phytoplankton which reduces the amount of oxygen.
The lack of urban planning together with poorly designed sanitation networks exacerbate the problem, which is growing at such a rate that new “acute fatal episodes can be triggered at any time,” according to Juan Manuel Ruiz, a scientist from the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO).
Floods are proving to be ever more deadly due to the decline of dryland agriculture, which uses terraced fields that retain water. Now the solution is more complex because, even if no more nitrates are leaked directly into the lake, the release of those already present in the groundwater will continue to be discharged into the Mar Menor for some time to come.
In Los Nietos, Cartagena, a municipality badly hit last month by Spain’s worst storm in 140 years, the locals know what Ruiz is talking about. The flooding was so bad that even after a month-long cleanup operation, the streets were still being hosed down last Thursday, and buckets filled with the mud that entered homes were still lying in waste containers. “Before this, we grew almond and lemon trees, and cypresses and hedges were used to separate the fields, which were planted in terraces. This all helped contain the downpours,” recalls local resident Antonio Luengo.
At the far end of the town, Nani Vergara, president of the neighborhood association, indicates a large field ready for sowing. “Anchovy-flavored lettuce,” jokes one of the association’s members, Verónica García, alluding to the field’s proximity to the coast.
García and her husband are fishermen but, like their 150 colleagues, their activity has ground to a halt. “Who wants fish from the lagoon after the images that have come out?” she says. They were in the middle of gilt-head bream season, a catch which accounts for between 50% and 70% of their annual income, and they fear it will take them years to recover.
The first indication that the Mar Menor was in crisis came in 2016, when the phytoplankton became so dense that it turned the water green. With sunlight unable to reach the bottom, 85% of its vegetation was wiped out. Subsequently, the water became clear again, giving rise to an optimism that turned out to be unwarranted.
This time, the problem was compacted by fresh water entering the lagoon along with contaminated sediment dragged in by the flood waters. Preliminary estimates from the IEO indicate that 35 to 60 tons of nitrates, 25 to 45 tons of ammonium and more than 100 tons of phosphates, found their way into the Mar Menor, along with the fresh water and mud during the September floods.
The change to the agricultural model in Campo de Cartagena, which drains into the Mar Menor, was adopted in 1979. Under this model, water from the Tagus River is channeled into the Talave Reservoir, which feeds into the Segura River. The dry land was irrigated, and this irrigated land increased to cover an area ten times its previous size: 49,488 hectares of irrigated land have been detected, 12,165 (25%) of which has been watered without irrigation permits, according to a report by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the Southeast Naturalist Association (ANSE) analyzing environmental developments in the Mar Menor between 1977 and 2017. Data from the Segura Water Confederation indicates that in 2018 the net irrigated area amounted to 43,071 hectares.
Conservationists argue that the increase in irrigated land was encouraged by authorities, pointing out that even protected areas were used for irrigation farming despite the legal restrictions. To make matters worse, large desalination plants such as Valdelentisco and Torrevieja were used for new illegal irrigation rather than to cover the Tagus-Segura Water Transfer areas when water is scarce.
The president of the Proagua growers association, Santiago Pérez, is prepared to take “some of the responsibility.” “People got used to operating outside the law, watering without permits, taking groundwater, desalinating it and throwing the brine into public water channels,” he says in reference to the desalination network authorized in 1994 by the Segura Water Confederation (CHS) to use brackish water for irrigation. Although the concession was not renewed, the practice continued.
“More than 1,000 desalination plants were in operation, and their discharge meant nitrates in the Mar Menor, a practice tolerated by the authorities until 2017,” says the report by WWF and ANSE.
That year, legal action was taken by prosecutors against 34 politicians, government workers, growers and entrepreneurs accused of turning a blind eye to agricultural activity that was hurting the lagoon. In April, the Civil Guard closed 50 illegal desalination plants. The CHS, meanwhile, conducts its own investigations into illegal wells, irrigation and dumping sites. The number reached 842 cases in 2013. Last year, there were 671 and, in 2019, the figure so far is 641.
Proexport, an umbrella group for fruit and vegetable producers in Murcia, represents 30,000 individuals and around 150 cooperatives and associations. Its president, Juan Marín, also admits to sharing some of the collective responsibility. He is in favor of reporting all the irregular activity and increasing the sustainability of farming. But the WWF and ANSE point out that there is still no mention of reducing the extent of the current irrigated area.
Tourism is another sector that is concerned about the lagoon’s health. “It has affected us directly, as bookings have been cancelled,” says Luis Cabello, the president of the Mar Menor Nautical Station. “The image we are projecting now is terrible, it is a big concern for the future.”
The solution is complex. But ANSE and the WWF believe that everyone involved needs to make a concerted effort to fix the problem and agree to freeze all new irrigation plans in the Mar Menor area.

From the first moment the details of the gunpowder plot became known, the government sought to have the Jesuits incriminated as being behind it.
During the final years of Elizabeth’s reign severe legislation had been passed making Jesuits and those who harboured them, criminals, punishable by death. Many Jesuit priests were subsequently captured and executed.
The Society of Jesus was founded by a Spaniard, Ignatius Loyola, under the name “The Company of Jesus”. Ratified in a Papal Bull of Paull III, the name was latinised to “Societas Jesu” on 27 September 1540. Loyola’s self reform and his enlistment of followers, was not initially set up as a vehicle to oppose Protestant doctrine, moreover it had in its aims academic study and education. Loyola offered his orders services to the Pope, and in time they became a powerful tool in the Papal Counter Reformation of the sixteenth century.
As Europe underwent religious reform, England was undergoing its own Protestant reform under Elizabeth. Under Mary, the restoration of the Catholic faith had been welcomed by the clergy, but Elizabeth’s new laws were slowly forcing the Catholics into exile. As more and more of them travelled to Rome and Flanders they became increasingly accustomed to the more academic and modern teachings of the Jesuits, something that the English welcomed, considering a great many of them were themselves from academic institutions.
In 1574, plans were discussed to begin an official mission to reconcile the English, and eventually Robert Persons and Edmund Campion made their way to England. Campion spent his time travelling around the Midlands, being hidden by the families of Catesby, Tresham and Vaux. It was perhaps one of the reasons that when the Gunpowder Plot unfolded after the capture of Fawkes, the government was so entrenched in the belief that the Jesuits were ultimately behind the plot. Not only was their very existence in England seen as seditious, but they had a long and ‘criminal’ association with Robert Catesby and his kin.
Campion was eventually captured and executed, and the familes who had harboured him were subject to severe fines and imprisonment. This however did not stop many more English Jesuits returning home, nor did it prevent the more staunch Catholic families from hiding them. English houses are today still littered with priest hides, secret hiding places, or tunnels.
Many of these families were also committed to sending members of their family to France and Rome to receive Catholic education, still others found the work of Campion and Persons inspirational, and submitted themselves to the Jesuit order, with the aim of returning to their mother country and assisting in the theological education and salvation of the people. During Elizabeth’s reign, several hundred Jesuit priests were put to death, yet this did not seem to deter them from their mission of converting the English. Among those Jesuits executed were friends and relatives of the plotters, including Francis Ingilby of Ripley, uncle to the Wintour brothers.
The biographies within this section represent the lives of many of those who were captured, tortured, and payed the ultimate price for their faith. Some were kin to the plotters, but all spent many years on the run, dodging the authorities as they moved from one Catholic household to the next, holding clandestine services and maintaining the morale of their Catholic flock.

Only four percent of businesses stay the distance and are still standing after a decade of trading. If you study these successful businesses, one thing you will find that they almost all have in common is a policy of innovation – they don’t stand still. This makes sense because, if your remain stagnant as the world changes around you, then your products and services are going to become obsolete pretty fast.
By being a forward-thinker, planning for the future and doing things that other companies in your sector aren’t doing, and doing it consistently, you can get ahead of the competition and secure your company’s place as a market leader – it really is that simple.
Check out these very real reasons why having an innovation mindset really is the key to entrepreneurial success:
There are Always Problems to Solve
If there is one thing we can absolutely say is true, it’s that problems are never going to go away. No matter how advanced our technology gets, or how much smarter we get as a collective, there are always going to be issues that need to be overcome so we can advance even further. What that means for any business, including yours, is that there are endless opportunities to make money. If you can find ways to solve new problems in your sector as they arise, you can continue to be relevant and keep making money.
A good example of this can be found at https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/heres-how-dealdash-is-revolutionizing-the-online-auction_us_5a5e8566e4b03ed177016ec0, which discusses DealDash. They are a penny auction company that realized there were many issues with similar businesses in that customers would lose any money they’d spent on bids if they were unsuccessful in the auction.They changed then game by innovating their business model so that unsuccessful bidders could “Buy it Now’ using the value of their bids towards purchasing the item they were interested in, This is just one example of how innovation can push a company to the top of the tree.
(Business) Life is Unpredictable
Another truth about life, and especially business, is that it is totally unpredictable; you can forecast all you want, but you never know exactly what is around the corner. When you have a culture of innovation in your business, that is really not a problem because you have all of the tools you need to respond to the unpredictable challenges you face with ease; you can adapt your business to fit changing circumstances as and when they happen. You will be able to think analytically to solve every problem that comes your way, and that will put you out on top when other companies, who do not value innovation flounder and sink.
You Can Take Your Business Global
Innovators don’t stay in the same place with the same people for all their lives; they understand that there are numerous lessons to be found from other companies and other business cultures all around the world from China to South Africa. So., if you’re dedicated to innovation, you will do more and be more because you will always have your eye on other markets and what they are doing; you will be able to look at trends around the world and adapt them to meet your needs in the here and now, whatever they may be. Entrepreneurship is now truly global, and it is the innovators who do the best on the global stage because they take pieces of information that is available to them from all over the world and they turn it into action.
You Can Find New Markets More Easily
When you’re open to new ways of doing things, it’s much easier to expand into other markets and set up new projects than it is if you are stagnant in your business life. If you visit www.kickstarter.com, you will see countless entrepreneurs using what is still a pretty innovative platform to raise money for their startups, get their businesses off the ground and spread the word about the amazing products they are getting stuck into. An innovation mindset gives you more options to reach more people in more ways than ever before, and I think you can agree that is a pretty good way to almost ensure your continuing success in the business world.
Technology Changes So Rapidly
We’re in the 21st Century now, and I’m sure you’ve noticed that we are experiencing something of a technological revolution. Things that we only dreamt of being possible on science fiction novels, like driverless cars and 3D printers are now a reality, and they can make business life so much easier and productive than it ever was before. Of course, this is only going to be the case if you have an innovation mindset and you’re willing to keep abreast of and invest in the newest technologies as and when they become available and useful to you.
The Way People Work is Changing
Millennials often get a bad rap, but one area where they’re really good is at shaking up the workplace. They have grown up with technology, and they realize that the way we used to work – stuck in an office from 9-5 communicating via telephone and fax was not the best way to get things done. If you’re an innovative boss, you will learn from them and start offering a higher level of autonomy into the workplace. Using the latest innovations like smartphones, video conferencing software and shared servers, you can let employees work from home, where they will actually be more productive and boost your business. This is one area where having an innovation mindset and not being afraid to try new things can really pay off.
Customer Expectations Can be Met
When you embrace innovation, it’s so much easier to meet customer expectations than it ever was before. These days, customers expect more than just a “How can I help you?” when they enter the store and a “Have a nice day.” when they leave. Heck, a lot of customers are now doing all of their business online and they want to be able to have a smooth experience, when they’re browsing, paying and contacting customer service – which they want to be able to do in a way that suits them, whether that means via email, live chat, social media, or whatever the next big thing will be, If you can give your customers what they want by implementing the same technology that they are implementing, and ideally adopting it before they’ve even thought to do so, you really will be on to a winner.
It Keeps Your Fresh
Most obviously of all, innovation helps to keep your company, and your brand image fresh. Does Google still have the same logo it did when it first started out? No. Do Apple Macs look exactly like they did back in 1984 when they were first unleashed on the market? No. If they were, people would have quickly lost interest and moved onto the next big thing anyway. People like novelty, but they don’t like novelty for the sake of novelty – it has to offer them something more too, and that is exactly what you can achieve with an innovation mindset and a good team behind you.
Innovation Enriches Us All
Perhaps most importantly of all, we all as the human race, need innovation. Where would we be without the wheel? The car? The internet? If the people who worked on those inventions had just sat back, chilled out and ditched their innovation mindsets, we’d all be a whole lot poorer for it. The world needs innovators, and good innovators are almost universally rewarded. So, if you want to succeed, you need to cultivate an innovation mindset.
Theatricality & Fun Can Be Had
Many people think of business life, marketing, the development of products and services to be something of a cold science. But there can be plenty of fun, ambition, visual appeal, and even bravado with celebrating your brand and what it sets out to do. For instance, the best entrepreneurs know how to launch a product by using a corporate event venue to invite audience members who may be interested, as well as bringing the team together through a shared ambition and vision for the future. This can be fun, and it can be inspiring to see your dreams enacted in that way. Without this kind of fuel that boosts morale and binds people together, it’s hard to be a fully-fledged entrepreneur.
The Bottom Line
If you are passionate about what you do, and you understand the value of regular innovations, providing you have a vision and you employ the best team of people, who also have a vision and the skills to see that vision through your business is likely to not only stay the distance but to be one of the best in your industry. Even when times are tough and other businesses are going to the ground, if you have faith in innovation and you keep working on the next best thing, you will give yourself a fighting chance when fighting chances are few and far between.

Tablet charges but shuts off after being unplugged?
I got this tablet a while ago, set it up, and used it for about a week. Then shut it off and never used it for a few years tbh. Its in perfect condition, so I connected it to a charger and let it charge. Immediately after unplugging it, the screen went black and wouldn't come on. I plugged it in, and it eventually came back on with 0% battery. I've used the tablet less than an hour total, and it's been stored in good conditions without moisture, excessive temps, etc. Why would it do this? | <urn:uuid:5e7366ef-839f-42a9-aef7-05040aabb995> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://es.ifixit.com/Respuestas/Ver/752101/Tablet+charges+but+shuts+off+after+being+unplugged | 2024-04-13T21:49:06Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.977095 | 132 |

The influence of Thomas Aquinas on Western theology is beyond dispute—yet his is a contested legacy. In current evangelical studies, there is an emerging infatuation with Thomas. Questions that need to be asked include: Is the thought of Thomas and Thomism(s) the same? What strengths and dangers does the legacy of Thomas Aquinas present to evangelical thought? Join Adam Szabados as he unpacks these questions and more in this interview with Leonardo de Chirico about his new book "Engaging with Thomas Aquinas". | <urn:uuid:7c08400a-6fc0-4d82-b84d-9db5db476bba> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://euroleadership.org/2024elf/engaging-thomas-aquinas-interview-leonardo-de-chirico-about-his-book | 2024-04-13T23:13:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.95501 | 107 |

The UK live events sector is one of the most high profile and professional in the world. Indeed, many of our international counterparts look at the quality of this sector with envy. We really are blessed with some phenomenal indoor and outdoor events, attracting some of the world’s best talent, whether this is at sports events, music festivals and concerts and other prestigious events.
The infrastructure for big events is also something to behold, with a large array of contractors supplying, setting up and providing a great service to event organisers, to help them create the memorable events they are striving for.
Often unseen, commercial fridge hire (and refrigeration hire as a whole) is one of those elements that isn’t particularly exciting, but is required nonetheless!
Event refrigeration hire at affordable prices
VIPs and dignitaries at major sports events will want a sit-down dinner. Festival goers at Glastonbury will want chilled drinks, and so on. Commercial fridge rental, therefore, is an essential part of the wider catering requirements for big scale catering teams and bar operators at major events.
Commercial fridge hire can take a variety of different forms, usually determined by the setting, and the size of the event. The bigger the event, the more refrigeration required both in terms of size of units, and quantities.
By this, we mean that a large VIP dinner for hundreds (and, sometimes, thousands) of guests will call for refrigerated trailer hire rather than small catering fridges. Likewise, a marquee wedding would probably need these catering fridges, under counter fridges and bottle fridges rather than a big, portable modular cold room out the back of the catering area.
Commercial fridge hire for events & occasions
Event refrigeration rental is, very much, a case of hire what you need. And what you need is sufficient cold room storage, easy access, functional, clean and affordably priced.
Here at eventhireRefrigeration, our range of commercial fridge hire and freezer hire is here to make your life simple and hassle-free. We offer you the whole range of refrigeration hire for all events and venues, indoor and outdoor, at great prices, nationwide.
As and when you need commercial fridge hire, don’t hesitate to drop us a quote request, where our team will be delighted to provide you with a customised quote based on your specific requirements.
We very much look forward to hearing from you soon. | <urn:uuid:6499e2c2-fb7d-440a-8336-18ec5b05e0a4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://eventhirerefrigeration.com/commercial-fridge-hire-for-any-event/ | 2024-04-13T21:52:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.9389 | 499 |
Science Discovery Day, our annual public engagement with science event, returns for the first in-person session since 2020.
The event offers a day of fun, inspirational and informative STEM activities from across the Faculty of Science in the School of Physics and Astronomy (J F Allen Building). Activities will include hands-on science games, flash-bang demo lectures, lab tours and the chance to engage with researchers. The café will be open throughout the day.
The event will be followed in the evening by the Observatory Open Night, which gives everyone acccess to the University Observatory from 6pm to 9pm. The evening will offer tours of the Observatory's telescopes, an exhibition of artwork, discussions with astronomers, and (weather permitting) the chance to do some stargazing through some of our smaller telescopes once the Sun goes down. Find out more on the Observatory web page.
Both events are drop-in, so come along any time they are open. We will have activities for families with young kids and for any other interested members of our community who want to find out more about science research going on in St Andrews.
The event is free and open to everyone. | <urn:uuid:faa31941-5878-44fe-b2a6-58b409777476> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://events.st-andrews.ac.uk/events/science-discovery-day-2023/ | 2024-04-13T21:22:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.936314 | 236 |

Alcohol is a depressant. In other words, it’s a substance that slows down the function and activity of the central nervous system. This has several effects on both physical and mental well-being. For instance, alcohol can cause temporary feelings of relaxation and euphoria, but it can also lead to mood changes, impaired judgment, and decreased coordination. In severe cases, it can even result in blackouts, coma, and death.
If you or a loved one is struggling to overcome alcohol use disorder, know that help is available and recovery is possible. Call 866.430.9267 or contact Evoke Wellness at Hilliard online to reach our alcohol rehab near Columbus and begin treatment today.
Is Alcohol a Depressant?
The word ‘depressant’ sounds ominous, conjuring mental health struggles and the darkest of human emotions. Yet, when we discuss depressants, we’re referring to a type of drug that slows the brain’s functions and affects the central nervous system. Yes, alcohol falls squarely in this category. It does not mean that every experience with alcohol leads to clinical depression, but its properties can assuredly exacerbate the symptoms of those afflicted.
Alcohol slows down the activity of the brain, which can influence thoughts, speech, movement, and more. Such effects are particularly potent at higher dosages or with prolonged use. The danger lies not just in the immediate but also in the compounding effects over time. The more you drink, the more you’re bound to experience its depressive-like characteristics.
For those already dealing with depression, anxiety, or related conditions, the addition of alcohol can be dangerous. Recognizing this interplay between substances and state of mind is vital for understanding personal behavior and knowing when help is needed.
When to Get Help
The progression from a social drinker to someone struggling with alcohol use disorder (AUD) can be slow and insidious. Many may not even realize they’ve crossed the line until it manifests as a problem that requires professional intervention. There are signs that it’s time to step out of the shadows and into the recovery light. Seek help if:
- You drink to feel better or different
- Blackouts are part of your drinking experience
- You lie about or hide your alcohol use
- You’re unable to control the amount you drink
- Hangovers don’t stop you from drinking again
- Relationships, work, or health are being negatively impacted
There is a life beyond alcohol addiction, and recognizing these signs can lead to a healthier and happier opportunity. It’s about accepting the need for a different path and reaching out for the resources and support that can guide you to that path.

Youth And Foundation Academy Charter School Staff Directory
Youth and Foundation Academy Charter School is an educational institution dedicated to providing quality education and support to young learners. The staff directory is an essential resource for students, parents, and community members to connect with the dedicated professionals who ensure the smooth functioning of the school. This essay discusses the importance of the Youth and Foundation Academy Charter School staff directory and highlights key aspects of its structure and benefits.
The staff directory serves as a comprehensive list of all the faculty and staff members working at Youth and Foundation Academy Charter School. It includes information such as names, positions, contact details, and areas of expertise. This directory is an essential tool for students and parents to connect with the appropriate staff members for any concerns or inquiries they may have. By accessing the staff directory, parents and students can easily find the contact information of teachers, administrators, counselors, and support staff, fostering clear communication and effective collaboration.
Furthermore, the staff directory highlights the diversity and expertise that the Youth and Foundation Academy Charter School staff possess. It showcases a variety of academic qualifications, years of experience, and specialized skills within each department. This diversity enables the school to cater to a wide range of student needs and offer a well-rounded education. For instance, the directory may include experienced teachers specialized in various subject areas, language specialists, special educators, and counselors who can provide valuable guidance and support to students.
Additionally, the staff directory promotes transparency and accountability within the school community. When parents and students have access to the contact information of staff members, it fosters a sense of trust and transparency. It allows parents to easily reach out to teachers and administrators to discuss their child’s academic progress, behavioral concerns, or any other issues they may have. This open communication enhances the school’s ability to address individual needs and create a supportive learning environment.
Moreover, the staff directory also benefits the staff members themselves. It enables teachers and administrators to connect with their colleagues, promoting collaboration and shared expertise. For instance, if a teacher needs guidance on a particular topic or is interested in collaborating on a project, they can easily identify and reach out to a staff member with relevant expertise through the staff directory. This cross-disciplinary collaboration fosters a culture of continuous learning and professional development among the staff, ultimately benefiting the students.
In addition to the professional benefits, the staff directory also plays a vital role in building a sense of community within the school. By including short biographies or personal statements alongside the contact information, the staff directory provides an opportunity for teachers and administrators to share their passions, interests, and educational philosophies. This personal touch allows students and parents to understand the individuals behind their education, fostering a sense of connection and belonging.
Furthermore, the staff directory can guide students in exploring their potential career paths. By providing brief descriptions of each staff member’s background and area of expertise, the directory can inspire students to consider various professions. For example, when a student interested in history reads about a teacher’s educational background and passion for the subject, it may encourage them to pursue a similar career path. This exposure to different careers broadens students’ horizons and strengthens their aspirations.
Another significant advantage of the staff directory is its role in emergencies or unforeseen situations. If a student or parent needs immediate assistance outside of school hours, they can refer to the staff directory to find contact information for the appropriate staff member. This quick access to emergency contacts ensures that students and parents receive timely support when needed, further enhancing the safety and well-being of the school community.
Additionally, the staff directory is an invaluable resource during school events and parent-teacher conferences. When organizing these events, having access to the contact information of each staff member ensures effective coordination and seamless communication. It allows event organizers to reach out to the relevant staff members for scheduling, event logistics, and any other requirements, ensuring a successful and well-organized event.
Finally, the staff directory encourages a sense of unity and shared purpose among the Youth and Foundation Academy Charter School community. By showcasing the entire staff’s expertise, dedication, and qualifications, it reinforces the school’s commitment to excellence in education. Students and parents can take pride in the talented staff members who are invested in their academic success and personal development.
The staff directory at Youth and Foundation Academy Charter School plays a crucial role in connecting students, parents, and the community with the dedicated professionals who ensure the smooth functioning of the school. It promotes clear communication, collaboration, and accountability while fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.

Like his fellow Bauhaus professor Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, Albers was preoccupied throughout his long career with perceptual ambiguity. In this drawing, created two decades after Albers had immigrated to the United States, a geometric shape floats in an undefined and seemingly infinite space, denying the stable viewpoint associated with traditional perspective.
After leaving Germany in 1933, Albers brought the Bauhaus model of experimentation in art, craft, and architecture to the United States at the Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where he and his wife, Anni, taught from 1933 to 1949. At Black Mountain and subsequently at the Yale University Art School, where he chaired the Department of Design from 1950 to 1958, Albers exerted a powerful influence on the development of postwar American art.

Mango Tree and COCA Restaurants, two Thailand-based franchise success stories that have grown to a total of 71 restaurants across the region, are setting a new benchmark for Asia’s F&B market by introducing dedicated culinary retail spaces into all outlets.
The two restaurant chains, one the renowned Thai Mango Tree brand and the other the wildly popular Chinese hotpot chain COCA, are for the first time lifting the lid on some of their most closely guarded culinary secrets as the company continues create opportunities in the new market conditions.
The newly launched Market Place corners in each outlet will sell a wide range of sauces and snacks, as diners and outside visitors are encouraged to take a little piece of Thailand home with them and experience the group’s time honoured culinary flavours in the comfort of their own abodes.
“Borders remain closed so many people can’t travel to Thailand, the fourth largest tourism destination in the world and one truly loved for its food. So, we are unveiling some of our closest guarded recipes, encouraging customers to try them at home and keep the dream alive of their next trip to Thailand when they can travel again,” said Mango Tree and COCA Restaurants Managing Partner, Trevor MacKenzie.
“We also need to be nimble to the needs of the market and look at new ways of generating revenue. So, we are leveraging the very heart of our business – the consistently original tastes in our cuisine – and bringing that into the retail space,” Mr MacKenzie added. “It’s a logical brand extension for us.”
Pioneered in the Bangkok outlets and extending to all 10 countries’ in which the two restaurant franchise powerhouses operate throughout Asia, Market Place is divided up into several different categories.
These are led by ‘We Prep, You Cook’ meal kits which offer cooking sets of fresh raw ingredients, sauces and spices; dried sets for dishes such as tom yam and phad thai; ready to use sauces, that just need protein and fresh vegetables adding, such as the iconic COCA Suki sauce, gaeng kiew wan (green curry) and gaeng ped (red curry) and gaeng massaman (southern curry).
Drinks to go include cold brew teas such as lemongrass and the famous Thai milk tea, while snacks include durian chips, salmon skin tom yam and mango sticky rice, ideal to eat right away or as gift sets.
The launch of Market Place follows other highly successful innovations this year for the restaurant group, with the launch of delivery services by its own team of bike riders who can service to the same standards and deliver an equivalent price as its restaurants.
Mango Tree and COCA Restaurants have now opened all of their restaurants in Asia as demand increases and brand loyalty becomes a key differentiating factor in future growth.
“In many ways we are returning to our roots,” said Mr MacKenzie. “Original and high-quality food is at the core of what we deliver and we are looking to reach new market segments while retain the loyalty of existing ones.”

Notes to Editors
The Mango Tree group is a dynamic, innovative and fast-growing company that has a vision to bring authentic Thai cuisine with a creative twist to the world, and to plant a Mango Tree in every major world city. At the vanguard of the global Thai food explosion, the Mango Tree group comprises the Mango Tree, Mango Tree Bistro and Mango Tree Cafe brands, as well as Coca, the contemporary steamboat suki concept. The group’s heritage dates back to 1957, when Khun Srichai Phanphensophon opened the first Coca restaurant in Surawong, launching the suki trend in Thailand. The pioneering spirit continued when the group’s CEO and celebrity chef Pitaya Phanphensophon, Srichai’s son, opened the first Mango Tree restaurant in the heart of Silom in 1994. Today, the group operates more than 71 restaurants and cafes in 15 countries in Asia and the Middle East. Part cultural ambassador and part culinary innovator, Mango Tree has charted a course to become the premier global Thai cuisine brand, delivering quality Thai cuisine, stylish design, and intuitive. | <urn:uuid:37d18668-21e7-45ea-b452-9b89ea10409d> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://exquisineglobal.com/thailands-mango-tree-and-coca-restaurants-brands-retool-global-franchise-business-by-launching-culinary-retail-spaces/ | 2024-04-13T22:57:31Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.939894 | 939 |

Hello sweet friends!
FIRST OF ALL, CAN I PLEASE ASK YOU KIND LADIES IN BLOG LAND TO PLEASE PRAY FOR 'LITTLE REA,' OUR DEAR BLOG FRIEND CHRISTINE'S GRANDDAUGHTER FROM Christine's home and Travel Adventures.
SHE IS GOING THROUGH CHEMO THERAPY BECAUSE SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER.
SHE IS SUCH A BRAVE LITTLE GIRL, SHE'S ONE OF THE TWINS.
Thank you all.
I decided to go for a buffet table for Father's Day 2014...opposed to a sit down dinner.
I used my 'Multiple Choice' mix and match black and white china to give it a masculine aura to the the buffet setting; among other elements accordingly.
Alejandro deserves it all, he has being a wonderful father to our two daughters, as he has given each girl their first home.... and he is also a great (awesome) granddaddy to our little girls.
Let me mention that he is a lovable and caring husband and I am so thankful on how generous he is with me and my love for collecting lots of things, specially dishes and decorating the house.
I don't think he's 'hardly said NO' to something I wanted, or the changes I wanted to make in our houses, except for maybe a couple of times because he probably didn't totally like it himself, as fortunately we always agree on our projects or things we wish to purchase for the house, or pertaining to the family.
Thank you my God for giving him to me, you've blessed us all!
May God bless your fathers, husbands, sons and Son'in'laws this Father's Day 2014 and always.
Ok, here goes my buffet setting in honour of my dearest 'Man of the House!'
Happy Father's Day 2014 everyone! |
I bought a few years ago two different sets of, 'Multiple Choice' (brand) of dishes for four places... actually, for a Father's Day 2010. I decided on buying two different patterns to do just this...mix them together and here is the result. |
I bought this adorable 'shell rooster' on my recent coastal vacation. I decided to use him as I believe it's also 'Rooster's Day' next Sunday too...hehehe.. |
I used this very different and masculine fern for a centerpiece instead of flowers. |
I had some small faux-shells and I made napkin holders gluing them to an elastic. Only the White one is real. |
Love the teacups! |
I placed an oil hurricane lamp for a romantic mood. |
Alejandro and our guests will be watching the 'Soccer World Cup' too. |
Natural shells from our vacation. |
Tea will be served from the pretty Chinese teapot. |
I placed in the back of the fern the warm buffet servers. |
I am using the hot servers with the buffet food. I might have to add one more, according to the menu. |
I will always miss you daddy. Thank you so much for your love, you were my best role model! |
Here is the 'bigger picture' on how I'm serving the Father's Day 2014 buffet. Guests will grab a dinner plate from the right side of the table and promenade towards the back to serve themselves dinner and continue around it for a glass of white or red wine to celeb. Thank you dear friends for your sweet and kind comments, as you always make my day! Thanking the lovely hostesses for having me at their great parties too.

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER
One question we regularly get is: Where should I begin? You should start right here, by arming yourself with the knowledge you need to understand the problem and fight back.
Below are links to resources for both public school families and private school families (because your child has different rights based on where he or she is enrolled), as well as some big picture information: links to curriculum options developed by education experts, an overview of some of the new terms and jargon that you’re probably hearing school officials use, and some recommended articles to help you get up to speed quickly.
We’ll be adding to these resources regularly, so please let us know if we’ve missed something – we’re happy to add to this list!
Since public schools are funded by federal, state, and local governments, the government has a say in how they are run — including curriculum and hiring. Public schools are state actors who must follow federal guidelines, including the U.S. Constitution, and uphold federal anti-discrimination laws.
Traditional public schools must accept all students; these students are assigned to schools based on where they live.
Charter schools are funded with tax dollars, much like traditional public schools. However, charter schools often do not fall within the jurisdiction of local public school districts and often have greater freedom to determine their operations and hiring. Depending on where they are located, charter schools may fall within or outside educational oversight by the state.
Magnet schools are public schools that offer specialized instruction (for example, in math & science, or the arts). Like charter schools and traditional public schools, they are taxpayer funded. Magnet schools are often selective, admitting students either through a competitive application process or a lottery.
Private schools educate about 10% of American schoolchildren. As non-government schools, they are a key component of civil society. And because they are private, they’re not subject to all of the regulations that govern public schools. As private actors, private schools set their own standards for admissions, hiring, curriculum and how the school is run.
Private schools contribute to education diversity, with options for parents to select the school that best meets their children’s individual needs or aligns with their family’s faith and values. More states are offering more school choice options than ever before.
Not all private schools are the same. So parents need to do their homework when choosing their child’s school, and stay involved along the way.
The Big Picture
Knowledge is power. If you walk into a meeting confident that you know what you’re talking about, you’ll be more effective. Below are some resources that might be helpful as you think through these issues and how you might want to engage.
In addition, other topics you might want to research for your specific school include:
- Budget: How much is being spent on specific programs/curriculum? Were any outside consultants brought in, for what reason, and at what cost? Do you believe that these resources might have been better spent elsewhere to benefit needy students? Where?
- Education quality: How does your school perform? What percentage of children read at grade level? How about math and other subjects? How does that compare with your city/state/national statistics? If your school isn’t a top performer, is it really smart to direct time and resources away from basic learning?
- Public Opinion: Has your school collected any feedback about its programming? If so, was it anonymous? If not, those results are probably inaccurate, seeing as a majority of Americans self-censor on controversial subjects out of fear. | <urn:uuid:8ee97853-4150-45f5-b8eb-17175f8dddf4> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://fameschool.blazewebtech.com/empower/ | 2024-04-13T23:14:33Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.974696 | 752 |
Hugo Lewi traded in military surplus
Unlike the Kleemanns, the Lewi side of the family had few relations in Danzig. That's because Hugo came to Danzig from another German region, Thuringia, and his family roots are in the town of Sondershausen. We know he married Emilie Kleemann in 1870, and that their five children arrived in quick succession.
The Danzig address books show an interesting tidbit about Hugo's line of business that does not appear in the Sue Key book. He traded in "military effects," which may be items such as swords and uniforms for collectors or surplus. The Prussian military tradition ran strong in Danzig, which must have made for a business opportunity for Hugo Lewi.
The three listings are for 1874, 1886 and 1896. He was not listed in either 1869 or 1905, which gives an idea of his years in Danzig. Hugo, Emilie and all the Lewis relocated to Berlin sometime after 1996. Hugo died in Berlin in 1909.
The mention of "Eisner nachfolger" in each listing means the firm is a successor to a previous company. This suggests that Hugo purchased the business from a previous owner, Eisner. I'll take a look at earlier address books to see if I can find an Eisner in the military effects business.
One other term in the listings is not fully clear to me. "Herren-Garderobe-Magazin" translates as men's wardrobe storage, which sounds like another kind of business but not especially related to military effects. Maybe the storage was for military uniforms. | <urn:uuid:14afa3d8-2546-45da-981f-188ddc531792> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://familyhistorymachine.com/storyspace/discovery-notebook/hugo-lewi-traded-military-surplus | 2024-04-13T21:54:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.973912 | 335 |
My family recently returned from our first family trip to Walt Disney World since the start of the pandemic. Immediately after our last trip, in January 2020, my wife Dana experienced a severe MS flare that diminished her mobility so she now uses a wheelchair outside of the house. Four years later, we headed back to the House of Mouse and discovered an even more accessible way to visit using Disney Vacation Club.
Disney Vacation Club Basics
For those not familiar, Disney Vacation Club (DVC) is Disney’s version of a timeshare. Unlike a traditional timeshare where you’re locked into a fixed week at a certain time of year, Disney utilizes a flexible, points-based system that can be used at over a dozen different Disney properties in Florida, California, South Carolina, and Hawaii at any time.
More about accessible travel:

- Disney’s Newest Cruise Ship Makes Cruising Even More Accessible for Travelers with Mobility Issues
During our Disney World trip, we booked an accessible room in the sophisticated Riviera Resort—inspired by Mediterranean beach retreats along the French and Italian Riviera. Disney’s Riviera Resort is a dedicated DVC property conveniently located between EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme parks. We could easily watch the colors changing on Epcot’s Spaceship Earth from our room at night, and hop on the Skyliner gondola for quick and convenient access to two theme parks. Plus, my wife could roll right onto the cable car in her wheelchair.
DVC Villas Aren’t Traditional Hotel Rooms
Disney calls its DVC rooms a “home away from home” because they feature amenities not found in a traditional double queen hotel room, such as a fully equipped kitchen (with full-size refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher), dining nook, and stacked washer and dryer. Our one-bedroom wheelchair-accessible villa had plenty of space for the whole family of four: myself, my wife, and young adult daughters (ages 26 and 23).
MEET YOUR MATCH: 12 Best Disney World Hotels for Every Age and Interest
Accessibility features included wide doorways and a large bathroom (with room to maneuver the wheelchair) with grab bars next to the toilet. This particular room had a tub with additional grab bars and a hand-held shower head. Our daughter called housekeeping, and they quickly delivered a transfer bench for the tub. Accessible rooms with roll-in showers are also available.
Dana said the space worked really well for her especially after rearranging some of the side chairs and tables, “I had plenty of space for my wheelchair and walker.” This was the first advantage of DVC for our accessible Disney trip, the larger room with ~820 sq feet and over twice the square footage of a standard Disney Deluxe Resort hotel room.
Because of the large size, the DVC villa was easily navigable in a wheelchair. The king-size bed in the bedroom was close to the bathroom that included a roll-under sink, and the clever queen-size Murphy bed and pull-down bunk in the living room provided bunks for our daughters to sleep. Four adults in our family were quite comfortable sharing this one-bedroom DVC villa.
DISNEY DOLLARS: How Much Does it Really Cost to Spend a Day at Disneyland?
Unfortunately, my wife had one bit of trouble with the accessible room: the bed height. The king bed was lowered for accessibility purposes. While this may help some, for her disability, a lower bed is much more difficult to get out of. We mentioned this to the front desk and they looked into changing the bed height, but couldn’t for safety reasons.
Instead, they offered us a deluxe studio room with a standard-height bed for my wife and me to sleep in, just down the hall from our original accessible one-bedroom villa. We used the one-bedroom villa as our home base, and the studio as the bedroom for my wife and me.
DVC Perks Made the Theme Parks More Accessible
In addition to the larger room size of the DVC villa, there were extra perks for DVC members that made our theme park visit even more accommodating for our family’s accessibility needs. There is a special lounge just for DVC members on the second floor of the Imagination! pavilion in Epcot. The lounge offers free soft drinks and places to recharge your devices while taking a break from the crowds and sun. Gazing out of the glass pyramid are commanding views of The Land pavilion gardens and World Nature beyond.
During our trip, we experienced Moonlight Magic at Epcot—a special after-hours event where the park is open from 10:00 pm to midnight for DVC Members, which means shorter lines for rides and attractions. For us, the best part of Moonlight Magic at Epcot was the certificates for free food throughout the park (each guest received three vouchers).

We redeemed the snack certificates at the Flower and Garden Festival outdoor kitchens and dined on chicken and waffles, Dole whips, peanut butter and jelly soft-serve, and strawberry rhubarb upside-down cakes. The smaller crowds during Moonlight Magic again made it easier to navigate the park in a wheelchair and see the topiary and garden displays. The evening hours were also much cooler for my wife, who’s sensitive to heat due to her MS.
Our family’s favorite experience during the whole trip was also a DVC exclusive benefit. Atop DVC’s Bay Lake Tower is a lounge overlooking the Magic Kingdom theme park. Each evening it turns into “A Villains Lair” with themed cocktails, appetizers, and desserts. We treated this as our dinner and opted for the Wicked Wind Down with a cocktail, appetizer, and dessert for $55 per person plus a special reserved spot to watch the Magic Kingdom fireworks.
Our server (with impeccable villainous makeup) took our order and, since it was almost 8:00 pm, said she would hold everything until after the fireworks. We headed to the terrace outside and had a bird’s-eye view of the spectacular complete with background music and narration. Dana’s eyes lit up describing the experience, “it was so great to see the fireworks from up there, it wasn’t crowded at all. I couldn’t see the [Magic Kingdom] castle, but the higher fireworks were some of the best I’ve seen.”
Following the pyrotechnic show, we returned to our table to find cocktails, charcuterie, pork belly sliders, hummus, and flatbread all waiting for us. Dana said, “the food was awesome.” After drinks and the substantial appetizers, our server delivered two slices of Seven-Lair cake (a seven-layer cake drizzled with salted caramel sauce) on our table with another two packaged to go. This was a smart move as the pieces were immense, and became a special treat we enjoyed in our room on the last night thanks to the full refrigerator and stocked kitchen.
ROOM FOR EVERYONE: These 11 Disney World Hotels Are Perfect for Families of 5+
This DVC extra was easily the highlight of the trip—a relaxed way to see the Magic Kingdom fireworks while enjoying food and drinks.
DVC Accessibility Comes at a Price
While the larger DVC villa, member lounges, and Moonlight Magic party all helped our family’s accessibility needs, Disney Vacation Club does come at a price, and the entry cost can be a barrier for some families.
Depending on the number of points you purchase, the size of your family, and the type of resort, the investment can be substantial. For example, I used the cost calculator on the DVC website and created a package based on how my family typically travels including a six-day vacation, our family of four, and flexible travel season.
I picked Disney’s Riviera Resort (where we stayed on this trip) as the home resort, and the calculator recommended a DVC membership of 250 points. The cost equaled $53K that could be financed using a 10-year loan with a 10% down payment for $755 per month. In addition, there’s another $2,215 in annual membership dues as $185 per month. So that’s nearly $950 per month, and we have not even purchased theme park tickets or food for our vacation yet.
Before you get too sticker-shocked, the package quoted above presumes your family uses 250 points for a six-day trip to Disney’s Riviera Resort every year, staying in that same one-bedroom villa. However, DVC members don’t have to use all their points in the same year. By banking unused points from previous years and borrowing points from future years, you can purchase a DVC membership with fewer points and not travel every year. Other accommodations, such as Deluxe Studios and Tower Studios, also require fewer vacation points per night.
You do not need to stay at the same resort every time, either. After staying at Disney’s Riviera Resort, you might decide to try a different property such as Disney’s Animal Kingdom Villas the next time and use fewer points. The flexibility in how many DVC points you need and how you use those points allows more options for families.
Remember, your DVC Membership will last far longer once you pay off your upfront costs—in some cases up to 50 years. So you need to ensure you are ready for decades of Disney vacations when you sign up.
Disney Park Accessibility
During this trip we expected the Disney Parks to be accessible. Disney is famous for accommodating many types of special needs, including people visiting Disney World in a wheelchair. However, in the past four or five years, we’ve also realized that accessibility while traveling is not guaranteed (even when booking accessible rooms and experiences).
We were thrilled to find many of the rides in the parks were fully accessible to those in wheelchairs. My wife could stay in her chair and roll right inside a Little Mermaid clamshell, onto a Jungle Cruise boat, into a Ratatouille ride vehicle, and more. Our DVC one-bedroom villa and special member perks, made the trip even more enjoyable and accessible for our family.
However, even if you cannot pay the premium for DVC, there are ways to replicate some of these perks. There are larger, accessible accommodations just off Walt Disney World property at a lower price point, for example a two-bedroom villa with a roll-in shower two miles away at the Caribe Royale Orlando.
Disney holds After Hours events at the theme parks with limited numbers of tickets, shorter wait times, and free snacks similar to DVC Moonlight Magic. While not a lounge, for those who need to get away from the crowds or heat of the theme park, there are first aid stations with beds and nurses for a quiet respite from the park.
For those who have the means, DVC offers a “home away from home” and plenty of perks that can make your Disney vacation even more accessible for those with special needs.

How many times you came across an automated blog? How many times you have read about a new WordPress plugin that works automatically to publish posts on your blog with out you do any effort? Could this be a new business opportunity?
In discussion forums you will find everything possible, people who waste your time, and other who really gain your respect. I was in a discussion forum today and I found people talking about a new WordPress plugin that allow you to create automated content by pulling articles based on specific keywords and publish them to a blog, basically the idea is to use this blog for making money by display Google AdSense ads, but I wonder why no body mentioned the possibility of having duplicated content and how is could hurt!
I just don’t want to link to the plugin page not to give it any credit, but you can find lots of these plugins simply by searching.
Keywords or RSS feeds?
The idea of getting the articles or the posts is by two ways, the first is pulling them from article directories, and the second way it to grab the articles from RSS feeds and re-post them to the automated blog.
Trackbacks from the darkness of the internet
Of course all of us knows about this awful way of content creation, and probably you will remove these ugly trackbacks you are getting all the time when you discover it’s from one of those automated blogs. I personally hate it when some blogs from the darkness of the internet links back to my blog, I personally consider it a link from a bad neighborhood.
AutoBlogging.. is it a way of creating a successful blog?
What really annoy me is the creators of these plugin convince buyers of the paid version that they will earn money easily by installing the plugin on their blogs and do nothing more than that! Because everything is automatically done! And they -of course- do NOT mention content duplication, and they will not talk about it because this will hurt their sales, they even promote automated blogging as it’s an innovative tool to help keep the content fresh!
Did they ever think about how much duplicated content hurts?
Automated content creation
Just pay attention that we are talking here about automated blogging, not about automated content creation, and I am actually against both ways, because at the end both ways can lead to content duplication, because there is no reason to duplicate content 100s of times on each blog.
SEO experts teach these ways, and use these content generating software that allow you to create 50 different versions or more of one original article by changing a few words and paragraphs placements. Then simply you can submit these articles to web directories and convince them all that these are original and unique content.
A message to auto generated content blogs owners
I just want to tell to everyone who is using this way that -Don’t forget- people who works on developing search engines is working day and night to discover your 50 auto generated articles and they will send them to the basement of the search results sooner or later.
If you don’t believe me then read what’s on Google Webmaster Central support pages about little or no original content.
From the page: “Google will take action against domains that try to rank more highly by just showing scraped or other auto-generated pages that don’t add any value to users”
Conclusion and personal opinion
Blogging should be about writing original content all the time, this is case you are trying to give value to readers and you are planning a long life for your blog. I don’t recommend automated blogs and content generating software for anyone, it’s a very bad human behavior, and it’s a way to to destroy the value of the internet, search engine results and making money online niche reputation, duplicated content waste our time and efforts on the internet looking for something not said yet so many times, and it’s not the right way to create a successful blog or website.
This is absolutely the most ridicules way to earn money online, automated blogs in my opinion is the worst idea for a blog, and I dare you to give me one example of a successful blog by any assets using automatic content generation WordPress plugins.
What about you?
What you think about automated blogs, and unique content generators? Are they good or bad? Can bloggers think about it as a new business opportunity? | <urn:uuid:82a3af17-8c55-46ad-8e83-2d03e7ec4e32> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://famousbloggers.net/automated-blogging.html | 2024-04-13T22:20:52Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.93855 | 901 |
Hamsters are nocturnal pets that sleep heavily during daylight hours. Here’s what to know about hamster circadian rhythms and sleep:
- Nocturnal Nature – As prey animals, hamsters evolved to avoid daytime predators and forage at night. Their peak activity time is dusk to dawn.
- Light Sensitive – Exposure to light, even ambient room light, suppresses melatonin production and interferes with sleep cycles in hamsters.
- Nap Habits – Hamsters take short naps sporadically through the night between bouts of activity. On average, they sleep a total of 10-12 hours per day.
- Deep Sleepers – Hamsters sleep very deeply and are difficult to wake. Avoid unnecessary disruptions during daylight hours when sleep is heaviest.
- Bedding Burrows – In the wild, hamsters burrow underground to sleep safely. Provide deep, nestable bedding for burrowing and napping.
- Cage Placement – Keep hamster cages away from windows, direct light, and high traffic areas to create a suitable dark, quiet space for undisturbed daytime sleep.
- Nocturnal Care – Since hamsters are most active at night, provide fresh food and interact with them during their natural waking hours after dusk.
- Circadian Disruption – Sudden schedule changes, light pollution, and stress can disrupt healthy sleep-wake cycles resulting in lethargy.
Paying attention to hamsters’ natural sleep rhythms allows them to follow their nocturnal instincts. | <urn:uuid:8695a06c-9970-439c-9e96-d70466f9d2a1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://fampetsupplies.com/sleep-circadian-rhythms/ | 2024-04-13T22:53:28Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.915625 | 311 |
David Learner actor and fan, involved in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy since early 1980.
He played a number of roles including Marvin in the Theatr Clwyd touring version directed by Jonathan Petherbridge that opened in North Wales in January 1980. He appeared as Marvin in the Rainbow Theatre production in the summer of 1980, and in the autumn filmed inside the famous suit for the BBC Television series that was broadcast in early 1981. Late 1981 saw a revival of the Theatr Clwyd production in a tour that included Scotland and England, with David's last appearance at Plymouth in June 1982.
Outside of Hitchhiker's he played many theatre roles, but is also remembered for Pickle, the wood elf, in three series of the ITV children's television series Knightmare in the early 1990s. At LL3 we will reunite him with Michael Cule, another Knightmare stalwart, for some live action role playing shenanigans.
David branched out into journalism and retail, for a while running a shop on Mill Road in Cambridge opposite where Douglas Adams was born. His current role is as the proprietor of Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe in Ely.

Marvel Cinematic Universe fans who loved Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man are in for a sweet present tomorrow. Recently, Marvel Studios announced that they would be dropping the trailer for the sequel for the 2015 superhero sleuth, Ant-Man & The Wasp. This news comes on the heels of the 10th anniversary of the launch of the widely successful franchise of superhero comedies which started in 2008 with Jon Favreau’s Iron Man. The Marvel Cinematic Universe has since then broken critical and financial records and spawned successful spin-off television shows such as Agents of SHIELD and Daredevil with more to come as three new installments are to release this year with the upcoming Black Panther, The Avengers: Infinity War, and Ant-Man & The Wasp. It is a big year for the franchise which has been leading up to the colossal event in the third installment to The Avengers trilogy.
With Black Panther releasing in just a few weeks, and The Avengers: Infinity War following close behind it in May, the final installment for the MCU’s 2018 release schedule would be Peyton Reed’s Ant-Man & The Wasp with star Paul Raud and Evangeline Lilly teaming up to reprise their roles as Scott Lang and Hope Van Dyne respectively. Lilly who was in a more supportive role in the previous Ant-Man film will assume a much larger role in the film as she will finally suit up as The Wasp. Obviously now that the marketing campaign for Black Panther has wrapped up and a trailer for The Avengers: Infinity War, it makes perfect sense for the lesser talked about MCU film of 2018 to finally release it’s trailer after official photos being released as well as set photos leaking on to multiple forums.
At tonight’s world premiere for Black Panther, the Marvel Studios Instagram account had been providing coverage of the festivities and of leading actor Chadwick Boseman as he got ready for the premiere and made his victory lap down the red carpet. In their final addition the Marvel Studios Instagram story, the camera had panned to a small, ant-sized poster for Ant-Man & The Wasp, then quickly moving to a card with the words “trailer tomorrow.”
— Molly Freeman (@mollyrockit) January 30, 2018
The announcement to release the trailer for the film is unexpected and definitely on short-notice but it’s not necessarily surprising for Marvel Studios to market a film like this. It is to be noted that The Avengers: Infinity War trailer was not released until Thor: Ragnarok released in theaters, but that decision was presumably made to avoid spoilers for a critical story point in Thor: Ragnarok, in which Thor loses his eye. However, trailers for films such as Black Panther, Thor: Ragnarok, and Spider-Man: Homecoming all respectively had their trailers release way before their films made their big debuts in theaters worldwide. The Avengers Infinity War trailer was an oddity among them.
The decision to announce the trailer for Ant-Man & The Wasp at the premiere for another highly anticipated MCU installment like Black Panther is certainly a smart marketing tactic. It serves as a way for Marvel Studios to maintain a constant flow of hype that can spread to not just one film as it is about to hit theaters but also to create some extra positive momentum for a film that is months away from release and is also the last MCU film for the year. It certainly would need it. While not everyone has been talking about Ant-Man & The Wasp and shown some serious excitement it is certain that tomorrow’s trailer will still get fans hyped up and cause them to produce all sorts of speculations about the plot and everyone’s role in it.

PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG appeared to bid farewell to Barcelona fans in his team's friendly against Manchester City as his exit to Chelsea looms.
Aubameyang has been identified by Chelsea as the man to boost their attack following the departures of Timo Werner and Romelu Lukaku.
At present, Thomas Tuchel's side only have the inexperienced Armando Broja to rely on as a striker by trade.
They splashed £50million on winger Raheem Sterling this summer, but still lack firepower upfront.
Chelsea's dire need for goals was exposed during their 3-0 loss to Leeds last weekend.
This is why they've presented Barcelona with a final offer of £17m to secure Aubameyang's services.

Aubameyang reminded fans what they'll be missing as he put on a sizzling display in Barca's 3-3 draw against Manchester City.
The 33-year-old's goal cancelled out City's opener, and Barca fans showed their appreciation for his input by giving him a standing ovation when he was subbed.
Aubameyang simply cracked a smile and offered a wave to the home crowd as the rapturous gesture engulfed the stadium.

Barca would prefer to keep hold of Aubameyang but need to balance to books in order to register new signing Jules Kounde.

The Cycles of Change
Eric Asimov at the NY Times has an interesting story in print that speculates on the coming increase in price of imported wines, due in large part to the weak dollar. What struck me about the article is how it is a perfect example of how to find a silver lining in what might be an unfortunate situation.
Eric points out, "Meanwhile, those who don’t want to pay higher prices might consider building up a supply now, or looking for values elsewhere." This in turn leads one of the folks Eric interviewed for the story, Josh Wesson, to make this statement:
“This is a sommelier’s dream. They won’t have to try
so hard to convince anybody to try picpoul. I would be going long on
A perfect example that in nearly every situation that might look bad from one angle, from another perspective opportunity exists. In this case it is a matter of new opportunities no only for producers from lesser known areas in both the Old World and New World that don’t demand higher prices, but also for consumers, who will be introduced to wines that they may otherwise have ignored.
Of course, with imported wine prices on the rise, domestic wines should be able to make a run at somewhat higher market share. More opportunity.
This is of course how good money is made; by first looking at the opportunity any particular circumstance provides. In the wine industry one of the main focuses of opportunity seems to be related to technology. This makes the wine industry no different than most others. Working out exactly how wine lovers will use technology is the key to riches, isn’t it. I suspect they’ll do this mainly in the traditional way: by giving money to folks who provide access to wine and access to good prices on wine.
But then there are those who will provide the technology for others to satisfy wine lovers’ desires to get their hands on wine and wine at a good price. They seem to be the one’s in like to cash in.
With the exception of the constant advance of individual rights, I don’t think I’ve ever come across anything that is not cyclical in nature. If a slowdown in sales of imported wines occur or if a slow down in sales of all wines occur, it will not be permanent. | <urn:uuid:74a47151-99ca-4bb2-9625-adb993b6a50e> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://fermentationwineblog.com/2007/12/the-cycles-of-c/ | 2024-04-13T22:00:49Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.961178 | 484 |

How to cancel Adobe subscription?
The process of cancelling your Adobe agreement plan is fairly easy. These are the steps that you will have to follow.
1. You already have an Adobe account – so to proceed with cancellation, you will have to log into it and go to the section that will show you the plan that you had subscribed for.
2. You must access your account’s Manage Plan section. Since you are using a premium account, a pop-up window will appear as you browse asking you whether you would want to alter your plan. If you still wish to cancel it, please move on to the section named Cancel Your Plan.
3. Following its hold-back customer policy, Adobe will reopen a window after you click the Cancel button and ask why you want to cancel. Select the suitable choice by clicking on it.
4. When you’re finished, Adobe will once more put additional plans in front of you as part of their hold-back policy. If none of the alternatives appeal to you, click on the No Thanks button and move forward to complete the process.

Would you want to cancel an Adobe trial?
Though this article is about the details regarding the cancellation of Adobe agreement, some people have taken an Adobe trial. Do you not wish to go any further with this plan? In that case – you will have to get back to your account and go to the section of Manage Plan. From there, you will have to select a reason for cancelling your plan (there are set questions asked) and finally cancel the plan. You will have to follow the instructions to complete this process.
Would you like to consider it before cancelling?
It is understood that Adobe is not serving your purpose as you thought it would. Even with the conveniences of Photoshop and the Creative Cloud, you are looking to unsubscribe. Yet, before you take this step – here are certain points you might want to consider.
1. When you cancel an Adobe subscription – the benefits that are associated with it – additional storage, some features that are specifically available to the premium clients, and other sets of benefits are not accessible anymore. So, if you wish to use the same features, then it will be a little problematic, and you have to be careful of the same.
2. If you do not cancel this agreement plan in 14 days, rest assured you will be able to use the benefits until the end of the billing period.
#Just note – Simply because you cancel the agreement plan does not mean that your account will be expunged. You will be able to use the account, only minus the premium benefits.
Results of canceling the subscription
This article depicts to you the answer to – how to cancel Adobe subscription. However, as someone who is looking to cancel the agreement plan, here are some of the points that you must remember.
1. An increased storage limit is one of the premium features you get with an Adobe agreement plan. The storage is limited to 2GB as soon as you decide to cancel your contract. In the event that you exceed the limit, you have 90 days to retrieve the excess data. Unfortunately, you will no longer have full access to any of the data after the 90 days are up. The information described above relates to the ability to access Creative Cloud servers.
2. You can still access the Lightroom Images that you had access to for up to a year. It is advised that you take the pictures down as soon as possible. You may always access the Lightroom Classic Images on your hard disc.
3. Another convenience that Adobe provides is – the chance to assemble the photos and then, as per the requirement – import and export them, print them and publish them. However, once you decide to cancel your membership – you will no longer have access to Lightroom or even Map and Development Modules.
What about the refunds?
Regarding Adobe, the refund is only accessible if the relevant plan has information on refunds. Not all of Adobe’s plans are covered by the refund policy. If your company has a return policy, you will need to terminate within 14 days of the agreement plan if it does. If cancelled after 14 days, the return policy will not be applicable.Well, there must have been multiple reasons as to why you wish to cancel this agreement plan. However, now that you have decided to cancel this agreement, in that case – hopefully, this article on how to cancel Adobe subscription was helpful. Do share the link if you have any friends or family who wish to know more about this. If you have any comments to make – do leave your feedback.

Jurassic Park is an American science fiction movie released in the year 1993. This film was produced by Gerald R. Molen and Kathleen Kennedy and directed by Steven Spielberg. Steven Spielberg directed many movies like Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, Ready Player One, War Of The Worlds, Minority Report, Close Encounters Of The Third Kind, and E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. This movie is based on Michael Crichton’s novel, published in 1990 by the author Michael Crichton.
The Jurassic Park movie was shot in Kauai. It is made on the fictional island of Isla Nublar near Costa Rica in Central America. John Hammond and the genetic scientists created a wildlife park on the island with the help of the de-extinct process. Ariana Richards played Hammond’s grandchildren as Lex and Joseph Mazzello as Tim Murphy. Hammond’s grandchildren and a few tourists get stuck on the island in the movie. You will see in the film how the island suddenly gets shut down and how Hammond’s grandchildren fight to save their lives?
Two different vehicles were used, like Ford Explorer XLTs and Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Ford Explorer XLT series 1992 model was an electric car that got redesigned. It is an SUV-style vehicle used for a tour ride in the movie. They had made changes to the vehicle’s interior, also added a sunroof and floodlights.
Hammond’s grandchildren use a vehicle in the movie, also popularly known as Jurassic Park Jeep. There were a total of four jeeps used in the film. Jeep Wrangler Sahara is a 1992 model manufactured by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in America. It had a Sand Beige Low Gloss Metallic color. This color was available only with the Sahara package; hence they were extremely rare.
Table of Contents
When was YJ Wrangler redesigned?
YJ Wrangler was redesigned in 1987. After a year, in 1988, the Sahara Package got presented. The Sahara package offered embroidered seat covers and extraordinary paint tones. Instead of 16 to 17-inch wheels, they used sparkly 18-inch wheels, dual-zone programmed environment control, mudguard, road tires, 4.0L, and a 6 Cylinder Engine, giving a classy and lavish look Wrangler. The real jeep got changed before making the movie by adding extra Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) for creation purposes. This iconic jeep roamed on the island in the Jurassic Park Movie. They used Jeep Wrangler Sahara to bring and take tourists to the Park and the airport. Every vehicle had a unique number at the side known as 10, 12, 18, 29.
Jeep No. 10
This jeep is showcased several times in the movie. Among the four jeeps, this jeep no. 10 had a slight difference as there was no roll cage as they used to carry goods; however, it was very simple for dinosaurs to attack tourists. At first, you will see the jeep parking in the field where Dr. Harding is treating a sick Triceratops. Later it was used by Muldoon to escape; however, it gets damaged in the attack of T-Rex. At the end of the movie, you will see John Hammond using the jeep to escape from the island.
Jeep No. 12
This jeep is mostly featured in the movie. Dennis Nedry uses this jeep to escape from Jurassic Park as he had stolen the dinosaur embryos. Jeep No.12 was the only jeep that had a soft top. Unlike the other jeeps, it had a Light Bar with Jabsco 135SL fully motorized searchlights. Also, there was a winch that Dennis Nedry used to protect himself from a Dilophosaur.
Jeeps No. 18 and No. 29
These jeeps are first shown when Lex and Tim arrive at the island by helicopter to transport them to the visitor’s place. These jeeps were very similar to each other. There was a slight difference between Jeep No. 12, 18, and 29 as they lack Jabsco 135SL searchlights. While traveling, Lex and Tim see how the dinosaurs come to life. Later in the movie, after escaping the horrendous assault, Rex, Zach and Gray coincidentally reach the Visitor’s Center, where they find Jeep Wrangler Saharas No. 18 and No. 29. Jeep no. 29 is used by the kid to escape while Bryce Dallas Howard’s Claire and Chris Pratt’s Owen hide in Jeep no.18; however, they get crushed into the wall later.
It was an amazing movie about how the dinosaurs came to life and the dinosaur attack, predicted by Goldblum’s character. Currently, only one jeep is available, and Universal Pictures owns it. It is kept in the personal collection and only displayed in museums or car shows. Many fans loved the redesigned Jeep Wrangler Sahara 1992, so that they started to redesign their vehicle in the garages. There are many replicas of the jeep available in the market; however, it is difficult to analyze as they look the same. There are chances that you may find a slight difference in the color. Even though they are replicas, they are still making a good amount of money.

The Northman is another hit of cerebral terror from director Robert Eggers.
Published on April 21, 2022
Rating 4.5 /5
Robert Eggers continues directing some of the most surreal and brutal of historical thrillers with The Northman. Much like his last movies The Witch and The Lighthouse, this is a film that finds people losing their minds while trying to seek answers in cruel worlds. Set in the era of Vikings, there’s no shortage of violence and plenty of lore for one to become lost within. And yet the film never loses focus for its contemplations on the nature of masculinity, revenge, and legacy.
At the center of this story is Almeth, the Viking prince of his tribe. Raised by his father, King War-Raven (Ethan Hawke), Almeth is set to inherit his dad’s role in their Irish coast village. He learns the ways of his people and is given a trippy coming-of-age ceremony in which he acts like a dog while the cackling jester (Willem Dafoe) speaks of how men function. After being shown a surreal vision of his own legacy, Almeth then witnesses his legacy being slaughtered by War-Raven’s jealous brother of Fjölnir (Claes Bang). After killing the king and seizing his wife Queen Gudrún (Nicole Kidman), Almeth escapes his ransacked village, aiming to return and avenge the death of his father.
Almeth grows up to be played by a muscular and violent Alexander Skarsgård. He’s become hardened by a world where he’s grown up being the part of a roving collective of Vikings, killing and pillaging anything in their paths. It’s an empty existence, finding little thrill or satisfaction in such cruel acts as killing men and setting fires to houses of women and children. It’s only once he learns of Fjölnir’s tribe buying slaves that he finds a way to regain the throne he was promised. He poses as a slave and is sold into Fjölnir’s collective. Having not seen Almeth since he was a child, Almeth has the perfect cover. He uses this life of slavery to slowly gain the favor of the tribe and slowly slaughter those who wronged his family.
Almeth’s quest for bloody satisfaction is suitably messy and dark. He finds himself dealing with supernatural elements, relying on a sword that can only be opened at night that will surely slay Fjölnir. He finds himself combatting zombies of the past for the right to his destiny. His visions of the afterlife find witnessing valkyries carrying him off to Valhalla, ensuring that his life will only end in violence. All of it is staged with an eerie tone and a grotesquely dirty style, where his third for vengeance leads to him chopping up bodies in all the worst ways.
There’s also a deep questioning of manhood within the picture. For his entire life, Almeth has believed that the only way to be a man was to be brutal, cruel, and willing to die in battle. He believes if he places himself in this hell that he’ll be able to restore a certain piece. It’s only once he probes deeper into Fjölnir’s rule that he realizes it’s not as simple as thought. Most of his problems stem from not being able to understand the desperation and desires of women, leading to Kidman delivering a shocking monologue when confronted by her lost son. Also, you can’t forget Anya Taylor-Joy as the slave Olga, rebellious enough to be both an ally and lover for Almeth. He gives him a reason to fight that he didn’t have before and realizes there’s more to life than revenge.
The Northman is another hit of cerebral terror from director Robert Eggers. Comparatively, it’s not his best picture when you look at his filmography of The Witch and The Lighthouse. That being said, it’s still an unforgettable piece of historical horror that manages to be deeper and darker than most within this subgenre. That final sequence of a dual at an active volcano is certainly going to remain in the mind for quite some time. | <urn:uuid:752edda8-a43c-43e9-bf5a-9bdece456e6b> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://filmchop.com/moviereview/the-northman-is-another-hit-of-cerebral-terror-from-director-robert-eggers/ | 2024-04-13T22:02:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.970808 | 900 |
When you have a urinary tract infection, it can cause discomfort and can be dangerous if left untreated. However, even after you have received treatment, it is possible to experience lingering symptoms. Learn more about how to handle these symptoms if they persist after beginning medication.
What is a UTI?
A UTI is an infection in any part of the urinary system, most commonly in the bladder and urethra. Women are more likely to develop UTIs due to a shorter urethra, which allows bacteria to easily reach the bladder. Symptoms of UTIs can include a strong urge to urinate, burning while urinating, blood in the urine, strong-smelling or cloudy urine, pelvic pain, fatigue, and fever. If left untreated, UTIs can spread to the kidneys and cause serious complications.
UTIs are classified into three types, each affecting a different part of the urinary system. Urethritis is an inflammation of the urethra, characterized by discharge and burning sensation during urination. Cystitis is inflammation of the bladder, causing painful and frequent urination, as well as cloudy urine. Pyelonephritis is inflammation of the kidneys caused by infection, resulting in symptoms such as fever, chills, back pain, and nausea.
Treatments for UTI
When a urinary tract infection (UTI) is diagnosed, the usual course of treatment is antibiotics. The specific antibiotic prescribed will depend on the individual's health and the type of bacteria found in their urine sample. Common antibiotics prescribed for UTIs include trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, fosfomycin, nitrofurantoin and cephalexin ceftriaxone. Symptoms of UTI usually decrease within the first few days of taking antibiotics, but it is important to finish the full course of treatment, which typically lasts one week. Pain medication may also be prescribed to alleviate discomfort. It is important to note that once a person has had a UTI, their risk of developing another one increases, and in some cases, long-term treatment with antibiotics or other measures may be necessary.
Can UTI symptoms linger after antibiotics?
It is crucial to continue taking the entire prescribed dosage of antibiotics for a UTI, regardless of any improvement in symptoms, to ensure the complete elimination of the bacteria causing the infection. Failure to do so may result in antibiotic resistance and persistent symptoms. Monitoring for changes in symptoms after taking antibiotics is essential to confirm the effectiveness of the treatment.
When do the symptoms disappear?
It may take a few days to a week for a UTI to fully clear up after starting antibiotics. Symptoms such as a low-grade fever or lower back pain may take longer to improve. Your doctor will likely prescribe a treatment plan for 3-14 days. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics to ensure that the infection is completely eliminated.
When a UTI is not responding to antibiotics
If you are experiencing persistent or new symptoms of a UTI after starting antibiotics, it is crucial to seek medical attention as soon as possible. This could mean that the infection is not responding to treatment and may lead to serious complications if left untreated, particularly for pregnant women. Ignoring a UTI can result in permanent damage to the kidneys and in some cases can even become life-threatening if bacteria enters the bloodstream and causes sepsis.
It is important to be aware of the symptoms of UTIs, especially for women who are more susceptible to these infections. While antibiotics can help alleviate symptoms, it is not uncommon for them to persist even after treatment. That is why it is essential to follow your doctor's instructions and complete the full course of antibiotics prescribed. If symptoms persist or new ones appear, it is important to seek medical attention for further treatment. | <urn:uuid:a26d6658-18b9-4d05-b999-eb5d29596b76> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://filmorebody.com/blogs/reproductive-health/can-uti-symptoms-linger-after-antibiotics | 2024-04-13T21:51:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.939669 | 774 |
LOS ANGELES – A Koreatown man is scheduled to be arraigned this afternoon after being arrested Saturday on federal charges alleging he worked with a Hollywood woman who ran a drug-delivery operation that in one incident sold counterfeit oxycodone pills containing fentanyl that resulted in a fatal opioid overdose.
Mucktarr Kather Sei, 36, whose stage name is Kather Sei, was charged in a federal grand jury indictment returned February 24. The indictment alleges that Sei delivered fentanyl-laced pills that led to the death of a Beverly Hills man in late 2020.
The second defendant in this case who allegedly orchestrated the drug-delivery service – Mirela Todorova, also known as “Mimi,” 33, of Hollywood – is currently being held without bond after being charged last year for possession with intent to distribute cocaine and MDMA (commonly called ecstasy). Todorova – who holds United States, Bulgarian, and Canadian citizenship – also is scheduled to appear in court this afternoon for a status conference in her case.
Todorova and Sei are charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances resulting in death, and one count of distribution of fentanyl resulting in death. The four-count superseding indictment filed last week also charges Todorova with the two previously alleged drug counts stemming from the seizure of cocaine and MDMA at her residence in March 2021.
According to the indictment, Todorova provided cellphones and narcotics – including counterfeit oxycodone pills that contained fentanyl – to Sei and other drivers to facilitate the delivery of drugs to customers across Los Angeles County and elsewhere. Todorova also delivered drugs herself and gave Sei keys to her Hollywood apartment so Sei could access drugs when Todorova visited Mexico, where she continued to manage her drug operation while tending to her pet jaguar, “Princess.”
On November 15 and 16, 2020, after a 37-year-old man placed orders for oxycodone pills to Todorova’s phone number, Sei allegedly delivered pills laced with fentanyl that caused the man’s fatal overdose in his Beverly Hills home. As part of that transaction, Sei called the man from a phone that Todorova provided to facilitate drug sales, the indictment alleges.
Before and after the fatal overdose, other drug customers raised concerns about the authenticity and safety of the oxycodone pills that Todorova and Sei allegedly distributed. Several weeks before the death of the drug customer in Beverly Hills, according to the indictment, another customer texted Todorova, “Yo mimi the oxys are dirty.”
To facilitate drug payments, Todorova gave Sei and her other drug delivery drivers her electronic payment usernames such as “$clubmimi,” “@clubmimi,” “@mimiclub,” and [email protected].
An indictment contains allegations that a defendant has committed a crime. Every defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
The charges of conspiracy to distribute drugs and drug distribution resulting in death carry a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years in federal prison and a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
Assistant United States Attorneys Patrick Castañeda and Jason C. Pang of the International Narcotics, Money Laundering, and Racketeering Section are prosecuting this case.
This case is the result of an investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department and the Drug Enforcement Administration’s Overdose Justice Task Force, which was created to address opioid-related deaths in the greater Los Angeles area, most of which are caused by the synthetic opioid fentanyl. Under the Overdose Justice program for the DEA’s Los Angeles Field Division, DEA agents collaborate with local law enforcement to analyze evidence to determine if there are circumstances that might lead to a federal criminal prosecution, and, if so, proactively target the drug trafficker. | <urn:uuid:84e830eb-d984-4c3a-82f5-89c2c0dd3f73> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://finchannel.com/hollywood-tv-actor-charged-with-participating-in-home-delivery-drug-trafficking-ring/108470/crime/2022/02/ | 2024-04-13T22:19:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.949251 | 821 |

“Helping you gain control over the things you want to change”
All This And Then Christmas!
Posted on 24 Dec 2020
At this time of year I usually blog about Christmas anxiety. I am sorry if that makes me sound like Scrooge. I do not mean to. I like Christmas a lot. But as a therapist I know that every year I see clients who are prone to anxiety and they find it difficult. Some may get worse at this time of year. People who live stressful lives and find it difficult to cope can find the festive season very difficult. It is the straw that breaks the camel’s back for some.
This year, this strange 2020 year unlike no other in our lifetimes, I will not be blogging about Christmas anxiety. Well, that is not quite true, I am going to be talking about anxiety but in a very different context.
Most of my ideas come from my clients, they teach me as much as I teach them. I also notice trends because I see a lot of clients from many different backgrounds. As I said, usually at this time of year there is a spike in anxiety. This year it is different. Obviously, anxiety levels are high anyway, and people are very worried about what is going to happen. Are they going to manage to see family and friends? Questions like this are coming thick and fast. People seem much less worried about the usual things: buying all the presents, the office party or the monumental task of cooking Christmas dinner. It is as if their big worries have pushed out the littler, more routine, ones. In a way I think this is healthy. It pulls us all up short about what really matters and makes us ask the question if we worry far too much about things which don’t really matter in the greater scheme of things..
So where are we? I would say many of us are anxious, more anxious than usual. We are worried about finances, jobs, the health of ourselves and our loved ones, especially of the vulnerable. We are delighted about the good news on vaccines, but know the roll-out to everyone is not immediate. However, there are new things which I am seeing. I would say we have less social anxiety. We are less worried about ‘doing things right’ or what other people think about us. We are not thinking about what to wear to the office party or whether we can successfully cook a whole goose. Surviving and protecting those we love has taken the place of these worries.
We are also desperate for a change. For many people the constant lockdowns and restrictions give the whole world a grey aspect. Every day feels too much the same and the chance of a few days which are different, and hopefully brighter, is something of us crave.
If that is the background to our 2020 Christmas what should I blog about? What advice and support do my clients and readers need this year? I would sum it up as surviving in the healthiest way possible, holding on until the vaccines are rolled out, and perhaps beginning to plan for life in the post Corona world.
This means looking after ourselves both mentally and physically. Let’s try to set out a bit of a route map. All of you will be different but I hope I can provide some general guidelines and also give you a model to make your own roadmap (you might want to do this is conjunction with your nearest and dearest who you will be spending the festive season with).
So here goes:
Asses your risk and what you feel comfortable with
The chance to meet up with family is causing tensions as different people perceive their, and their loved ones, risk of the virus differently. If this sounds like you I would suggest you do the following:
Start with an honest open statement about how you feel. Talk to your nearest and dearest about this and do not stop talking until you have your own family risk assessment on which you agree. If this proves impossible you might have to move up a gear and consider spending the Christmas window apart. This sounds drastic, but do not underestimate how harmful spending time feeling scared and out of control is for you. It will leave you with bad memories and bitter feelings, so perhaps it is best to avoid the situation altogether.
If you can agree with your immediate family, or your partner what you do feel comfortable with, the next step is to inform others around you of your preferences. Plan this out carefully.
You need to be clear, if you have done step one you should have covered this. But remember you cannot clearly communicate with anyone unless you know your own mind.
Next step is to hone your communication style so the people you are telling will listen, and accept and respect your decision and will not feel hurt or personally slighted. This does not mean they have to agree. But your aim is that they do appreciate your views and take them seriously.
Understand the styles of the people you are talking to
You will communicate this best if you understand and acknowledge the thinking style of the people you are communicating with.
It can be useful to check out the different personality types in the Myers Briggs model to get an idea. For example, if you are talking to someone who is a thinking type then be armed with facts and evidence. If you are dealing with someone who works through feeling then talk about how we need to look after each other and how you worry about the safety of the family.
Next you may want to look at how your interlocutor perceives the world. If they are creative you might want to tell them stories about your fears and your hopes for the future. If they are strategic you might ask them to draw up a way forward for the time the vaccine arrives. As I said, it is worth taking a look at the Myers Briggs site to get more detail on this, but once you start to reflect upon it you will probably realise that you know a lot more about the person you are talking to than you think. We do a lot of this by instinct and innate knowledge.
Stick to the point
Stay calm and on the point. Do not be afraid to bring the conversation back to the main point. Promise to talk about other things later but make it clear that you need to sort out the Christmas arrangements now not later.
Offer hope and show love. If you are telling someone that you are not going to see them face to face over the Christmas period then make it clear that you will speak to them and make some plans for later in the year. Stress that you are doing what you think or feel is best for everyone and that the situation is only temporary.
Make new expectations
A route to feeling miserable is to try to replicate a traditional time in a world where this is impossible. So don’t try to live up to old expectation, make some new expectations.
It might even be that you can do this in a positive way. Are there things you have always wanted to do for Christmas but have never managed? I know of several people who have always wanted to spend the day going for a long country walk but have felt obliged to stay in eating the traditional lunch. This year they are heading for the hills with a pack of sandwiches.
Don’t worry if things are not perfect
This is a traditional Christmas stressor, and this year is the time to break it. You may not want to spend too much time in shops and you may be cooking for fewer people. So take advantage and say good enough is best this year. You may find you enjoy yourself more when the expectations of others are pushed into the background a bit.
Make a difference the difference
One thing most of my clients have found tough about the lockdown is the monotony. The Christmas break should be a chance to do things a bit differently. Think about how you can break your usual at home routine. Don’t neglect the little things. Eating a different breakfast, taking a different route for your morning walk can send signals to the brain to wake up and appreciate the changes.
Moving your body, laughing and getting out in the fresh air are good for your physical and mental health so keep doing them over the festive period. If you are seeing other people its a chance to swap experiences and rituals.
Now is the time to get your cousin to show you some simple yoga positions and your niece can introduce you to the app with the dance routine. Remember having a good laugh will do you as much good as getting rid of some calories.
Remember you will always remember Christmas 2020
We will be talking about this year well into the future. Whether this Christmas is good or bad for you, you will remember it. So make at least some good memories. If it is going to be tough carve out some space in which you feel you can make something which you will look back on with joy. | <urn:uuid:b7588ccd-ac61-40b6-a8ac-116451bfb697> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://fionanicolson.com/all-this-and-christmas-too/ | 2024-04-13T22:50:17Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.971011 | 1,811 |

Boosting Your Google Ranking with Quality Content & Keywords
Search engine optimization or SEO is the process of making a website or web page more visible in the unpaid results of a search engine. The higher a website or web page ranks in the search results, the more likely it is to be visited by a user. There are many factors that can influence a website's or web page's ranking in search results, and it's important to stay up-to-date on the latest best practices in order to effectively optimize your site. Here are some tips from experts on what works now in the world of SEO.
Google's algorithms are designed to favor websites that provide useful, relevant content to users. So, it's important to focus on making high-quality, informative content that meets the needs and interests of your target audience. Keywords are the words and phrases that people use to search for information online. By including relevant keywords in your website's content, you can help search engines understand what your site is about and improve its ranking in search results. But you should use keywords in a natural way and avoid keyword stuffing, which can hurt your ranking.

How to Rank Well in Google Map Listings
The very best way to have your Google Business Profile displayed in the top three spots of the Google Maps business listings is to have a large number of positive reviews. Google provides you with a link in your Google Business Profile that you can send to your happy customers so they can leave a review. On the flip side, it's very important to make an extra effort to keep your customers happy so you don't end up with bad reviews. This practice is generally a good approach for any business in general. That little extra step, which may not have been technically necessary for you to take in taking care of a customer's pain point, can go a long way.

By incorporating these keywords into your webpages, search engines get a sense of what your business is about, allowing them to push your site toward potential customers. It is useful to imagine what phrases a customer would type into the search engine when seeking out your services. The more keywords on your web page that match those of a customer’s search query, the higher you will rank in their search results.
Keyword research is the process of finding the most effective keywords to increase your rank and in turn, your site traffic. Online services such as SEMrush, Google Keyword Planner, and Google Trends can be effective in keyword research. These sites allow you to analyze search trends related to the content of your website. Included in this information is the monthly search volume for specific keywords. For the best results, try to find keywords that you feel confident you can rank for based on the scale and presence of your business. Smaller businesses may want to focus on keywords with lower monthly search volumes, as many of the high search volume keywords are already dominated by larger corporations.

The EURJPY – like the USDJPY and other JPY pairs – have experienced a volatile up and down ride today after the BOJ meeting yielded no change in policy, but “the market” remains intent on forcing the central banks hand at some point in the future.
The initial squeeze to the upside on the news, took the price barreling through the 100 and 200 hour moving averages and also the 200 day moving average (at 140.715). The high price extended to 141.684 before starting the rotation back to the downside. Once the 200 hour moving average was rebroken near the 140.42 level, the buyers had lost their advantage, and the price continued lower.
In the early US session, the momentum to the downside continued with the break of the 100 hour moving average at 139.308 (blue line in the chart above). The price has been able to stay below that falling 100 hour moving average over the last four trading hours. Stay below is more bearish.
Although the price is well off its highs (the New York session low reached 138.856), it still remains above its closing level from yesterday at 138.245. Getting to and through that level is a target.
Also on the downside, there is a swing area (see red numbered circle in the chart above) between 137.84 and 138.17. That area comes ahead of the extreme low from January 3 which reached down to 137.358.
Technically, stay below the 100 hour moving average keeps the sellers firmly in control. IT is up to the buyers to push above that MA line.
On a move above it would soften the sellers control but would still require more work from the buyers to take back more control. The highs from yesterday at 139.61 and the 38.2% retracement of the move down from last week’s high at 139.853 would be the minimum targets needed for the buyers to take back more control. Absent that, and they really are not winning. | <urn:uuid:d80bbc11-aa88-43e6-81e1-39a98d387f12> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://flyforex.net/eurjpy-remains-below-100-hour-ma-after-volatile-up-and-down-day/ | 2024-04-13T22:00:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.958874 | 415 |
The US attorney in Chicago was asked by Attorney General Merrick Garland to investigate the matter after President Joe Biden’s attorneys acknowledged Monday that several classified documents from Biden’s time as vice president were discovered in a private office last fall.
Congressional Republicans are also taking notice of the issue since it’s unclear what the documents pertain to or why they were taken to Biden’s private office apart from the information that they included some top-secret files with the designation “sensitive compartmented information” – also known as SCI – which is used for highly sensitive information obtained from intelligence sources.
Biden’s special counsel confirmed that the classified documents were discovered in a private office at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement – periodically used by Biden from mid-2017 until the start of his 2020 campaign as part of his relationship with the University of Pennsylvania, where he was an honorary professor – while Biden’s personal attorneys were packing files housed in a locked closet.
According to special counsel Richard Sauber, the documents were turned over to the National Archives in November, noting that since that discovery, the White House is cooperating with both the National Archives and the Department of Justice to ensure that any Obama-Biden Administration records are appropriately in the possession of the Archives.
Sauber emphasized that none of the documents were the subject of any previous request or inquiry by the Archives.
Garland appointed US attorney in Chicago, John Lausch Jr. – one of the rare Trump-era holdovers who wasn’t asked to resign after Biden’s inauguration – to investigate the matter.
Back in 2021 Illinois’ two Democratic senators noted they want Lausch to remain at his top post to conclude sensitive investigations, avoiding revealing what probes he was working on.
It’s unclear if any investigation will be launched based on the discovery though we must have in mind that the Department of Justice is investigating Trump for his handling of classified information after classified documents were similarly found and seized by the FBI from former president’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
House Committee on Oversight and Accountability GOP chair, James Comer, recalled President Biden’s earlier statement that taking classified documents from the White House is ‘irresponsible.’
Pointing out that DOJ and the National Archives have made compliance with the Presidential Records Act a top priority under the Biden Administration, Comer stressed that they expect the same treatment for Biden, who has obviously inappropriately maintained classified documents in an insecure setting for several years. | <urn:uuid:4f2e4faa-0f32-4361-84b7-0fa09a725910> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://focuswashington.com/2023/01/10/classified-docs-from-bidens-days-as-vp-found-in-private-office/ | 2024-04-13T22:25:29Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.973494 | 523 |

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated drivers for virtual health adoption and triggered the US federal government to implement regulatory changes to reduce barriers to virtual health implementation. Consequently, virtual health solutions have been increasingly adopted, and health systems in the United States have been reorganizing their care delivery process with unprecedented speed.
Objective: This study aimed to assess and make recommendations on the strategy, business model, implementation, and future considerations for scaling and sustaining virtual health solutions based on the views of executives from the largest health systems in the United States.
Methods: In September 2020 and October 2020, the Health Management Academy conducted 29 quantitative surveys and 23 qualitative interviews involving 58 executives from 41 of the largest health systems in the United States. Participating health systems were approximately equally distributed across size categories (small, medium, and large, defined as annual total operating revenue US $2-3 billion, $3-6 billion, and >$6 billion, respectively) and US Census Bureau regions (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West).
Results: Based on the Health Management Academy’s assessment of approaches to governance, financing, data infrastructure, and clinical integration of virtual health, most participating health systems (13/24, 54%) had a mid-stage level of maturity in virtual health implementation. Executives reported the pandemic is forcing health systems to re-examine strategic priorities; the most commonly raised key impacts were increased access (15/21, 71%) and flexibility (10/21, 48%) as well as lower costs of care delivery (9/21, 43%). Most executives (16/28, 57%) reported their organization had a defined budget for virtual health, and many noted that virtual health is best supported through value-based payment models. Irrespective of health system maturity, reimbursement was consistently rated as a key challenge to virtual health scaling, along with patient access to and understanding of virtual health technology. The success of virtual health implementation was most commonly measured by patient satisfaction, health care provider engagement, and proportion of health care providers using virtual health solutions (reported by 7/8, 88%; 6/8, 75%; and 7/8, 75% of information technology executives, respectively). Almost all health systems (27/29, 93%) expect to continue growing their virtual health offerings for the foreseeable future, with user-friendliness and ease of integration into the electronic medical record as key factors in making go-forward decisions on virtual health solutions (each selected by 9/10, 90% executives).
Conclusions: The increased demand for virtual health solutions during the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue postpandemic. Consequently, health systems are re-evaluating their current platforms, processes, and strategy to develop a sustainable, long-term approach to virtual health. To ensure future success, health system leaders need to proactively build on their virtual health solutions; advocate for payment, site flexibility, and reimbursement parity for virtual health; and demonstrate continued engagement and boldness to evolve care beyond established models.
Virtual health is a rapidly evolving field, encompassing a range of information and communication technologies and forms of care delivery. Although there is no static and universally agreed definition of virtual health, the World Health Organization has defined eHealth in the following way: “the cost-effective and secure use of information and communications technologies in support of health and health-related fields, including health-care services, health surveillance, health literature, and health education, knowledge and research” [
].Virtual health, as well as telemedicine or telehealth, could be considered as components of eHealth, with virtual health focused on modalities of care delivery. For the purposes of this research, we defined virtual health to include the following components.
- Live (synchronous) videoconferencing: a 2-way audiovisual link between a patient and health care provider
- Store-and-forward (asynchronous) care delivery: transmission of a recorded health history to a health care provider or patient
- Remote patient monitoring: the use of connected electronic tools to record personal health and medical data in one location for review by a health care provider in another location, usually at a different time
- Mobile health (mHealth): health care and public health information provided through mobile devices. The information may include general educational information, targeted texts, and notifications about disease outbreaks.
Over recent years, there have been trends toward an increase in virtual care solutions for patients [
]. However, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, health systems across the United States faced several barriers to the expanded use of virtual health, including a lack of reimbursement, uncertainty around workflow integration, resistance to change, and concerns about quality and efficacy [ , ]. The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated drivers for virtual health adoption, as maintaining continuity of care during “stay at home” orders necessitated increased use of virtual health to minimize exposure to and spread of the virus during care delivery. The pandemic also triggered the US federal government to implement multiple regulatory changes to reduce barriers to virtual health implementation. Pandemic emergency orders allowed for cross-jurisdictional recognition of licensure, enabling health care providers licensed in one state to work in any other state [ - ]. The Coronavirus Preparedness and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2020 waived many of the geographic and site restrictions on Medicare reimbursement [ ]. The US Department of Health and Human Services loosened enforcement of some rules under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 during COVID-19, giving health care providers more flexibility in the use of telehealth solutions [ ]. Consequently, virtual health solutions have been increasingly adopted, and health systems in the United States have had to reorganize their entire care delivery process with unprecedented speed [ , ].Although the pandemic has catalyzed significantly higher virtual health utilization, health care providers and academics in the field are predicting a fundamental, enduring shift in how health systems deliver care [
- ]. Although health systems scaled virtual health out of necessity, innovating to meet the needs of an immediate crisis is different from sustainable, long-term transformation. Consequently, health systems are beginning to re-evaluate how the virtual health strategies implemented during the COVID-19 surge in virtual health utilization will meet the needs of the system, health care providers, and patients going forward. The pandemic quickly demanded that patients, health care providers, and health systems adapt virtual care at an unprecedented pace of change. Continuing to manage this rate of change will continue to be a challenge postpandemic. Maintaining these elevated levels of virtual health adoption among health systems into the future will depend on key factors, including sustained payment mechanisms, regulatory flexibility around site-of-service requirements, and development of a virtual care delivery model that wins the confidence of patients, health care providers, and health systems with regard to quality, safety, and cost. With 637 separate health systems across the United States [ ], sharing learnings and best practices between health care providers is important for ensuring consistency and equity in health care delivery across the nation. Sharing information can also assist health systems with decision-making and implementation of the most effective solutions. Some of these learnings may also be applicable to health care systems in other countries.In this study, we aimed to assess and make recommendations on the strategy, business model, implementation, and future considerations for scaling and sustaining virtual health solutions based on the views of executives from the largest health systems in the United States.
The Health Management Academy (referred to herein as The Academy) comprises over 3500 members, including C-suite executives and principal leaders from more than 150 of the largest health systems in the United States (each with an annual operating revenue of at least US $2 billion), as of July 2021 [
]. In September and October of 2020, The Academy distributed a survey and interview request to members with clinical, operational, or informatics roles with role titles that included Chief Medical Officer (CMO), Chief Nursing Officer, Medical Group President, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Information Officer, Chief Medical Information Officer, and Chief Nursing Information Officer.The survey and interviews included questions on health systems’ strategic approach, implementation, and future outlook on their virtual health modalities. Surveys were distributed by email and included 18 multiple choice questions divided into 4 sections: general quantitative survey, clinical, strategy and operations, and information technology (IT)/data (
). The questions included under the General Quantitative Survey section were given to all participating executives, whereas the sections on clinical, strategy and operations, and IT/data were sent to targeted executives with expertise on those topics. Interviews ran for 30 minutes to 60 minutes, were conducted virtually through Microsoft Teams, and included questions based on a qualitative interview guide containing 31 questions divided into 6 sections: strategy, structure, implementation, finance, data, and consumerism ( ). Questions from each section were asked as relevant to the interviewee’s role; for example, only C-suite executives in IT were asked questions in the data section. Executives from the same health system were allowed to attend the same interview if preferred.The Academy collected responses and analyzed results. For the quantitative survey data, percentages were calculated for each question, with the total number of responses to each question as the denominator. For the sections on clinical, strategy and operations, and IT/data, the denominator was the number of executives with the relevant experience who answered each question. If a respondent skipped a question, then the denominator for that question would be reduced by 1. Due to the small sample sizes involved, statistical analyses of survey data were not feasible. Responses from the interviews were qualitatively assessed, and observations were summarized in the report. Quotes were blinded and included as spoken by interview participants.
Data were segmented by health system size, geographic region, percent of revenue from government pay, and virtual health maturity. Health system size was defined based on annual total operating revenue (TOR), including all revenue from both patient care and health plan if applicable; large systems were those with >US $6 billion TOR, medium systems were those with $3-$6 billion TOR, and small systems were those with <$3 billion TOR. Geographic regions were based on the US Census Bureau regions [
] and were defined as Northeast, Midwest, South, and West ( ). Government pay was defined as the proportion of payer mix coming from Medicare, Medicaid, or other government sources, with high and low categories of greater than or less than the median of the survey group, respectively. Virtual health maturity was defined and assessed by The Academy based on responses to survey and interview questions in 4 categories: virtual health governance, finance, data/IT, and clinical. General features of health systems at early stage, mid-stage, advanced, and innovative levels of virtual health maturity are shown in . Selected subgroup analyses are presented for qualitative comparison.Ethical Considerations
This research was considered exempt from institutional research board review according to the US Department of Health and Human Services, Office for Human Research Protections, §46.101, (b)(2) [
] because it involved survey procedures, and the information obtained could not be linked to the participants and did not place them at risk.Results
Participating Health Systems
Study participants included 58 executives from 41 separate health systems in the United States. There were 29 quantitative survey responses and 23 qualitative interviews (some interviews involved more than 1 executive).
Participating health systems represent a mean TOR of US $5.5 billion. Participating health systems were approximately evenly distributed across the size categories: 32% (13/41) were large, 39% (16/41) were medium, and 29% (12/41) were small. Participating health systems were also approximately evenly distributed across the different US regions: Northeast (9/41, 22%), Midwest (13/41, 32%), South (11/41, 27%), and West (8/41, 20%). The median government pay across these systems was 42% (range 23%-66%). Based on their approaches to governance, financing, data infrastructure, and clinical integration of virtual health, most participating health systems (13/24, 54%) were categorized as being at a mid-stage level of overall maturity in virtual health implementation (
). Health systems tended to be at a more advanced level of maturity in their approach to strategy/governance and finance and less mature in their data and IT infrastructure and clinical integration ( ).Virtual Health Strategy
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, most health systems had implemented some form of virtual health solution for specific use cases, most commonly tele-stroke, tele-intensive care unit, or within behavioral health. However, most health systems did not have defined infrastructure, processes, or strategies to leverage virtual health on a large scale. Most health systems reported a neutral to conservative approach to pursuing virtual health modalities pre-COVID-19 (60% to ≥70% across modalities). Reimbursement difficulty and lack of integration with the electronic medical record (EMR) were cited as the main barriers to virtual health implementation.
Executives reported that the pandemic is forcing health systems to re-examine strategic priorities, and executives raised multiple key impacts on health systems and health care providers. In light of the virtual health “new normal,” health systems are forced to re-examine the cost structure of their business model and the composition and skills of their workforce, as well as the need for brick-and-mortar facilities. There is also a push for health systems to incorporate insights from consumer-facing industries (eg, banking, finance) in digital front door strategies. Health systems and health care providers are being pushed to develop a strategy to partner with patients to design and implement virtual health solutions from a consumer lens, address the social determinants of health that impact patient access to virtual health, and ensure equity and access in moving beyond traditional (eg, phone, video) telehealth services. Health care providers are also being forced to adopt virtual health and learn how to modify their workflows accordingly.
In order to scale existing virtual health modalities to meet surging demand, many health systems found building on their existing platforms—regardless of how small—was the best choice for rapidly scaling virtual health to meet the needs of their patients and health care providers:
We have had a telehealth option since 2012, and the growth had historically doubled each year from a very small base. But that growth is now exponential—we went from about 70,000 virtual health visits a year in 2019, to nearly 70,000 per week by early April (2020).
[Chief of Medical Technology]
Health system executives reported that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, immediate priorities included maintaining patient and staff safety by keeping health care providers and patients remote whenever possible and sustaining revenues to support the business. As health systems look to develop a long-term strategy for virtual health, executives are beginning to set new goals for enterprise-level virtual health and, in particular, increasing flexible, consumer-friendly care; improving access and expanding market share; broadening the suite of digital health technologies; and building new virtual health business models.
Areas in which executives expect virtual care to have the greatest impact include increasing access and flexibility of care delivery and lowering costs (
A). It will be essential for health systems to leverage technology to develop a model of a continual ongoing relationship with the patient across the health care journey of their lifetime, as compared with a previous model of episodic care. As virtual health expands, executives are prioritizing equity in access and outcomes. Health systems do not want virtual health to exacerbate existing divides in patients’ ability to access and benefit from care and are taking steps to monitor and address equity concerns ( B).Many health system executives considered virtual health to form part of both their care delivery strategy and consumer strategy. This is because improved access, flexibility, and convenience are increasingly sought by consumers, and virtual solutions may assist health systems in meeting these expectations. However, health system executives recognize the opportunity to improve the consumer-friendliness of their current virtual health systems. Most executives from large health systems (5/9, 55%) rated their organization’s virtual health systems as either consumer-friendly or very consumer-friendly. For medium and small health systems, only 20% (2/10) and 14% (1/9) of executives, respectively, rated their virtual health systems as consumer-friendly or very consumer-friendly.
Virtual Health Business Model
Health systems will likely focus on development of a hybrid model of virtual and in-person care, with efforts focused on population health and value-based reimbursement. Most executives (16/28, 57%) reported their organization had a defined budget for virtual health (
).Many executives expressed concern that a retraction to a prepandemic lack of payment and site-of-care restrictions on virtual health would significantly detract from their ability to deliver care virtually:
If payment parity for virtual visits goes away, expenses will have to decrease to meet the corresponding decrease in that revenue stream... We’re not going to stop doing virtual, because we believe it’s the right thing to do for our patients, and it’s about continuing to evolve with the future of healthcare.
[Senior Vice President, Finance]
Executives saw virtual health as a strategy best supported through a value-based payment model:
Going forward, we’re trying to get to a more value-based world where we’re only bringing patients onsite if they need complex care. That’s a large transformation that is underway, and virtual is an important component of that, but there’s still a long way to go.
[Chief Medical Information Officer]
Most health systems in the United States are predominantly fee-for-service and have only a small proportion (an average of 29%) of revenue coming from value-based payment models. Executives reported that their organization would not shift to a fully value-based model until a larger proportion of revenue comes from these models.
The [value-based payment] tipping point is probably 40%, but we’re not near that now; we’re at 10% or less, and many value-based arrangements start with fee for service.
[Senior Vice President and CMO of Ambulatory Service]
Health systems are restructuring their operations to adapt to the increased use of virtual health. For example, most health systems (6/10, 60%) intend to use technology to automate certain tasks associated with virtual services, such as clinical documentation during virtual visits. This increased automation can also assist with cost management. Other strategies to address cost management in response to the shifting business model include reducing or consolidating the physical clinic’s square footage (5/10, 50% of health systems), adjusting the workforce by reducing or reassigning staff (3/10, 30%), and redesigning health care provider compensation (2/10, 20%). Health systems may also be able to manage costs by aligning and partnering with other health systems to provide financial support for necessary technologies.
Health system executives stressed that the federal government’s actions to maintain payment for virtual health and promote flexibility in care delivery during the pandemic will need to be sustained for health systems to continue to provide virtual care. These responders were optimistic about these benefits being extended, and some health systems have developed “legislative teams” willing to align efforts with other health systems to help drive government support, at both state and federal levels, for sustained reimbursement for virtual care. Despite these efforts, uncertainty remains:
The maintenance of virtual visits is dependent on a payment model remaining in place for them, I can’t stress that enough. If there isn’t payment parity between virtual and in-person, we’ll have to re-examine how to manage our costs.
[President, Medical Group]
Implementing Virtual Health Solutions and Workflows
Health systems experienced a rapid surge in virtual health utilization during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic; during spring and summer 2020, 58% of total visits to participating health systems were virtual. As in-person care resumed, the proportion of virtual visits declined, reaching 21% at the time of the survey (September-October 2020).
As they exit the COVID-19 surge, health system executives report a shift in focus to medium- and longer-term virtual health strategy, with key concerns of payment mechanisms and the ability to practice across state lines. Going forward, 67% (6/9) of participating health systems have a defined target for the percentage of health visits occurring virtually. Almost one-fourth (2/9, 22%) of health systems reported that they want 21% to 30% of all care to be delivered virtually going forward, and one-third (3/9, 34%) of health systems expect 11% to 20% of care delivery to be virtual.
As health system executives consider their long-term virtual health strategy, many expect to leverage the governance structures established during the pandemic moving forward. For medium and large health systems, almost all executives reported that their organization had a centralized governance structure for virtual health implementation (
A). These central committees were typically composed of multiple key stakeholders and representative groups (eg, clinical leadership, regulatory, patient experience), and many executives reported their organization had a formal leadership role established for virtual health (eg, CMO of virtual health). Virtual health governance structures most commonly fell within the IT and/or population health division (14/29, 49% and 10/29, 34%, respectively), and most participating health systems created a dedicated virtual health committee or taskforce, which will remain post-COVID-19.Key considerations around creating these new governance structures included centralization versus decentralization of authority, defined versus undefined accountability, and outsourcing versus insourcing committee members. High-maturity approaches tended to feature a multistakeholder governance structure that clearly delineated responsibilities for virtual health strategy and implementation.
During the COVID-19 surge in virtual health utilization, the higher a health system was on the virtual health maturity curve, the more likely they were to scale up existing solutions rather than implement new technology. Patient and health care provider usability was reported as being the primary criteria for selecting virtual health solutions. Health care provider acceptance and adoption of virtual health increased during the pandemic; however, health system executives reported less success in developing and integrating virtual health into existing clinical workflows in a sustainable and comprehensive way.
Health system executives and leaders are considering whether their existing EMR and IT capability will be positioned to sufficiently support and adapt to telehealth efforts moving forward or whether a partnership with an outside vendor would be a more viable option long term. Most (7/9, 77%) IT executives reported their organization currently uses multiple virtual health platforms; however, 44% (4/9) aim to streamline operations and move to one base platform in the next 1 year to 2 years (
B). Most health systems (19/29, 66%) used Epic as their primary virtual health software solution, and most (15/29, 52%) used Zoom as their primary synchronous video platform. All IT executives reported that their organization had at least some success in integrating virtual health data into the EMR, with 22% (2/9) rating this integration as very successful. There will need to be a focus on developing platforms that are friendly and affordable to patients and health care providers.The expansion of virtual health has caused some organizations to consider reshaping their clinical pathways from being EMR-centric to more consumer-focused:
Our EMR plays an important role, but when we launched our virtual health app, we made the decision to shift away from EMR-focused processes to consumer-focused ones. What’s easy and intuitive for the consumer is not the same as the way the EMR wants you to do things.
[Chief Strategy Officer]
Executives were generally less confident in their IT capabilities (eg, interoperability, technology, data analytics) than some of the process components of virtual health implementation (eg, adoption by health care providers). Executives were most confident in their cybersecurity proficiency and the distinct virtual health technology solutions, with leaders rating their proficiency within these components as “at goal and advancing.” Executives noted that, to effectively implement virtual health enterprise-wide, it is critical to ensure that virtual health solutions effectively support both patients and health care providers with frictionless, accessible care at each step of the patient journey, from finding care to managing care, and paying for care:
Our digital front door aims to help patients solve their inconvenient pain points – where am I in my deductible? How much do I owe? To do that, we’re focused on empowering the patients to answer three questions: how do I find the care I need, how do I manage the care I need, and how do I pay for it.
[Chief Strategy Officer]
Some health system executives reported using virtual health to supplement and extend the reach of their existing care infrastructure. For example, one health system used physicians’ offices as specialty access hubs where the primary care physician could connect virtually with specialists in a single appointment. In another example, the health system’s virtual health platform was incorporated into ambulances, enabling emergency department staff to connect virtually and triage patients to the most appropriate care venue according to the level of care needed. Approximately 50% of the time, health care providers were able to make decisions to monitor patients at home, reducing the number of emergency department visits, and thereby reducing potential exposure to COVID-19 and conserving personal protective equipment.
Irrespective of health system maturity level, reimbursement was consistently rated as a key challenge to virtual health scaling, along with patient access to and understanding of virtual health technology (
C). To improve patient and health care provider understanding, health systems may need to develop and provide training for virtual care to both their patients and health care providers.Defining Metrics to Measure the Success of Virtual Health Implementation
Patient and health care provider satisfaction and health care provider engagement are the most commonly prioritized virtual health metrics among participating IT executives (
D). Health system executives reported a need to increase the tracking and measurement of virtual health–specific metrics.Health metrics differed slightly between health systems with high and low government pay, with low government pay systems more likely to prioritize patient satisfaction and wait time (
D). Organizations used a variety of different metrics, including measures of patient and health care provider satisfaction, clinical and screening metrics, platform and follow-up metrics, and financial metrics. Health system executives commonly reported they have not yet settled on their key metrics but recognize their importance for virtual health validation.Several health systems are using pilot projects to better evaluate the success of their virtual health initiatives on metrics such as total cost of care, readmissions, and follow-up rates. Health systems plan to build on these projects to understand how they can continue to optimize their use of virtual health. These pilot projects enable health systems to maintain the “fail fast” mentality that they developed during the pandemic.
Health system executives stated they have a narrow window of time to collect sufficient data on virtual health’s efficacy and efficiency compared with in-person care, in order to make the case to regulators and payers for why supporting virtual health’s financial sustainability is a must. There were some differences of opinion between executives on whether in-person measures can or should be transferred over to digital modalities.
Almost all health systems (27/29, 93%) expect to continue to grow most or all of their virtual health offerings for the foreseeable future:
What’s here to stay is the adoption of it, acceptance that care is not always in person. People have trepidation around payment, but what I’ve said is we're not going to have a choice. It's not going to matter. Health systems and physicians will learn how to adopt this, or they will go out of business or be purchased. You have maximum two to three years. If you're not aggressively adopting these services, you will fail.
[Executive Director, Virtual Care]
Health system executives’ degree of satisfaction with their current virtual health system varied between US regions, with executives from health systems in the Western region most likely to rate the organization’s virtual health system as sufficient for most or all of their needs (
A). Many health systems are reevaluating existing virtual health infrastructure, with user-friendliness and ease of information sharing or integration with the EMR as the 2 most commonly reported key factors (9/10, 90% of operations executives) in making go-forward decisions on virtual health initiatives ( B). Other factors in making go-forward decisions included to ensure data-driven decision-making; maintain patient confidence in a trusting, confidential patient-health care provider relationship; and a focus on how to best leverage technology to support a hybrid model of virtual and in-person care. This will require both patients and health care providers to rethink their relationship and the journey of providing consumer-focused health care. Alternate payment models driven by population health and value-based reimbursement will require adaptability and change in health care provider contracts.Executives raised a number of key challenges moving forward, including transparency and flexibility in health care provider licensing, maintaining the “move fast” cultural shift, integrating patient-generated health data with the EMR, determining which types of visits should be virtual versus in-person, and maintaining relationships between health care providers and their patients. Other unknowns and challenges included the pandemic trajectory, aid and politics, macroeconomic factors, demand for services, impact of regulations, and operational resilience. Addressing burnout and health needs of health care providers were also identified as issues going forward, with most (13/20, 64%) health system executives describing their care team as “tired and frustrated” with the COVID-19 journey. About one-third (6/20, 32%) were in a state of “acceptance of the new normal,” and 5% (1/20) described their status as “return to hope.”
Health system executives commented that, although the future outlook is uncertain, a proactive mindset is needed to create the future they want for their patients and their health care providers. This includes key actions such as executing and building on the established continuum of virtual care; advocating for payment, site flexibility, and reimbursement parity for virtual care; and continued engagement and boldness from leadership to evolve care beyond established models. Such care models are evolving toward a hybrid model of virtual, in-person care supported by changing the mindset of both patients and health care providers of what the new patient-health care provider relationship is seen as across the continuum of the patient care journey and not just episodic care as it may have been before the pandemic.
Through surveys and interviews with executives from many of the largest health systems in the United States, this study assessed and makes recommendations on the strategy, business model, implementation, and future considerations for implementing virtual health solutions in the United States. The key findings were (1) the main impacts of increased demand for virtual health solutions on health systems were increased access and flexibility and lower costs of care delivery; (2) health system executives commonly believe that virtual health is best supported through value-based payment models; and (3) almost all health systems expect to continue growing their virtual health offerings for the foreseeable future, with reimbursement being the key challenge to virtual health scaling.
A robust, patient-centric virtual health offering is now a standard expectation for health system executives. Health systems are evaluating whether their current virtual health system meets the differing needs of the system, health care providers, and patients and are identifying the mission-critical goals of a long-term virtual health strategy. Although the external shock of COVID-19 disrupted care models, all participating health systems are expecting to continue virtual care moving forward.
A key consideration in maintaining virtual care is to establish its safety and efficacy relative to traditional in-person care. The efficacy and safety of virtual care would be dependent on the nature of the solution and circumstances of use. For example, a Cochrane review of admission avoidance–hospital-at-home programs showed no differences in mortality between patients treated using admission avoidance–hospital-at-home programs compared with conventional inpatient hospital care [
]. On the other hand, virtual solutions such as a chatbot have proved more controversial, and experts have raised concerns about efficacy [ ]. Delivering care virtually can also impact the patient-health care provider relationship, as physical touch and eye contact can communicate interest and empathy. In one study, patients who did not previously have a relationship with their health care provider reported feeling less comfortable with clinical video telehealth than those who had previously visited in person [ ].Current virtual health platforms were sufficient for participating health systems’ COVID-19 response but far from perfect. These health systems are reevaluating their current platforms, processes, and strategy to develop a long-term approach to virtual health that addresses key challenges, including adjusting clinical and operational workflows that meet clinical and operational needs with one user-friendly, integrated, scalable platform to ensure patients’ access to technology and avoid exacerbating existing health equity disparities. Early adopters of new medical technologies commonly have high socioeconomic status due to differences in access (the digital divide) and differences in use (due to factors such as health literacy) [
]. The transition towards increased adoption of virtual health solutions has the potential to either relieve or exacerbate existing health care disparities. The decisions that health systems make now in the types of solutions they offer, and the strategies they choose to minimize disparities, are important in shaping health care equity for the future. For example, apps that are difficult to use could make accessing care disproportionately more difficult for people who are older, have a lower level of education, or are from a diverse racial or ethnic background, who may have lower digital literacy [ ]. Alternatively, health equity disparities may decrease over time for technologies that simplify treatment, as innovations gradually diffuse through society [ ]. Another concern is fragmentation of patient care due to the expansion of non-health system–affiliated virtual care options. This could erode relationships between health care providers and patients and reduce the effectiveness of care due to a lack of communication between affiliated and nonaffiliated health care providers. There is also a lack of clarity on which clinical and financial metrics are most valuable to validate virtual health’s cost and efficacy compared with in-person care. With one estimate showing that US physicians spend approximately 15 hours per week on quality metrics [ ], it is important to focus on the most valuable metrics to minimize the time and effort these require.Participating health systems report significant uncertainty around changes to payment models and regulatory policy (eg, reduction in payment parity, eliminating payment for phone-only visits, persistence of site-of-care, and state licensing restrictions) as they try to plan for the financial sustainability of their virtual health offerings. A lack of payment parity for virtual and in-person visits could be a disincentive to offer virtual visits, because if insurers reimburse telehealth appointments at a lower rate than in-person visits, health systems may have to operate telehealth services at a loss or not offer these services at all. Regulatory policies also differ substantially by state; for example, 43 states and Washington DC have payment coverage laws for telehealth, but only a subset of these have payment parity laws [
]. Health system executives have a role to play in shaping the financial sustainability of virtual health solutions going forward, as they can proactively advocate for continuation of many of the regulations and payment structures that have enabled increased virtual health adoption during the pandemic.Health system executives are concerned that current virtual health modalities are not sustainable if regulations regress toward prepandemic status; however, many note that accelerated movement toward value-based payment models would support virtual health expansion. Health systems that proactively seek alternate payment models could benefit in the long-term with payment structures that are more sustainable in a post-COVID-19 world. The use of value-based payment models is predicted to increase due to incentives created by the 2015 Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act [
]. Under this act, stakeholders are able to propose alternative payment models to the Physician-Focused Payment Model Technical Advisory Committee. An example of an alternative payment model is the bundled hospital-at-home and 30-day postacute transitional care program at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, which led to improved patient outcomes and care ratings compared with traditional inpatient care [ ]. In this payment model, health care providers were able to charge a base payment for hospital-at-home services and fee-for-service charges for other services, demonstrating the feasibility of this alternate payment model.To establish a sustainable, enterprise-wide approach to virtual health that addresses the challenges and barriers laid out in this research, health systems are working through key components, including governance structures, finance, data/IT, and clinical operations. As health systems evolve in their virtual health maturity, governance structures tend to become more centralized, with the most mature health systems having explicit C-level support for virtual health. Virtual health budgets become more defined and high-level, wherein advanced and innovative health systems have system-level budget lines for virtual health, and work with payers to develop and advocate for virtual health payment structures. With increasing maturity, data and IT systems become more advanced, and health systems proactively seek cutting-edge technologies, move beyond standard metrics, develop interconnectivity between platforms, and proactively monitor for cybersecurity threats. Additionally, health care providers become increasingly empowered and able to seamlessly integrate virtual and in-person care. As health systems evolve in their virtual health maturity, their market impact is expected to increase.
Strengths and Limitations
This analysis has several strengths and limitations. One strength is the breadth of executive types that inform this study. Participants included executives from the 3 categories of clinical, operations, and data/IT, which may assist in understanding virtual health from different perspectives. In addition, survey participants represent a variety of health systems, differing by size, region, degree of government pay, and virtual health maturity level. This even distribution of health system features suggests that the sample is likely to be representative of the health system landscape in the United States, which is further supported by the substantial portion of the total US health system market represented by these systems. These surveys do, however, only represent a subset of systems, and these findings may not be applicable to every health system. Also, these findings represent the views of individual executives, and there may be differences of opinion within individual health systems. In addition, by including only US-based health systems, some of the issues raised are specific to the United States, such as concerns around state licensing requirements. Although this analysis is limited to US health systems, the COVID-19 pandemic has precipitated a trend toward increased adoption of virtual health in countries around the world [
], and it is likely that many of the trends and challenges highlighted by this study would be applicable in other countries. Additionally, the timing of the study in late 2020 allows the authors to only document health systems’ early response to the pandemic.Conclusions
The COVID-19 pandemic saw a substantial increase in virtual health adoption, and this increase is expected to continue postpandemic. Consequently, health systems are reevaluating their current platforms, processes, and strategy to develop a sustainable, long-term approach to virtual health. Health system leaders need a proactive mindset to create the future they want for their patients and their health care providers, including executing and building on the established continuum of virtual care; advocating for payment, site flexibility, and reimbursement parity for virtual care; and continued engagement and boldness to evolve care beyond established models.

President Adama Barrow has received a team of policy-makers, contractors and consultants at State House in Banjul on the 28th of March 2024, together with heads of Gambian institutions under the Ministry of Higher Education, to review the achievements and challenges of the Ministry.
The Delivery Forum’s discussions focused on improving education and widening access to higher education for all, the key to which is the transformation of the Gambia College into a University of Education.
Meanwhile, discussions at the Delivery Forum indicate that the School of Agriculture and the School of Nursing and Public Health at the Gambia College, will be integrated into The University of The Gambia’s School of Agriculture and Medicine respectively.
In his deliberation, Professor Pierre Gomez said human capital is a priority for the Government, and said the new Gambia is ready to support Gambian youth by giving them quality education which starts with infrastructural development.
He said the Ministry of Higher Education in collaboration with the Government and the World Bank RISE Project, will build a state-of-the-art National Laboratory equipment at Gambia College.
“It cannot be business as usual,” Minister Gomez emphasized, adding that the transformation process will affect all sectors including the National Agency for Quality Assurance, in monitoring and taking care of the quality assurance component. To maximise the impact of education on society and to ensure its success and sustainability, the Minister also put forward changes at the Faraba Banta Campus regarding the construction of the School of Medicine and Allied Health Sciences. The Higher Education Minister also shared plans for resource mobilisation to provide state-of-the-art facilities and medical laboratories for the School of Medicine.
“For the first time, the country will have medical equipment we never had before,” he said.
For the information of the reader, President Barrow’s administration is embarking on a transformative journey in the education
Sector, and his Government’s plans include the construction of TVET centers across all regions and the transformation of the Management Development Institute (MDI) into a Civil Servants University, to enhance the professional training of civil servants for a more efficient public service delivery.
On his part during the discussion, the President remarked that this is part of his Government’s Civil Service Reform programme, and it is part of his Government’s agenda not just in the field of education, but also from the perspective of entrepreneurship and innovation. And for the first time in history, the Government of the Gambia through MOHERST will approve an annual stipend for students of the TVET programme equivalent to 400 dollars per student, to enable them start a business upon completing their course.
The Ministry also briefed President Barrow on the construction of Lot 2 of the Faraba Banta Campus and the Government’s partnership with MRC Holland Foundation on the ongoing consultation with contractors to build a dormitory for UTG students in Faraba.
Meanwhile, the construction of the University of Science, Engineering and Technology (USET) is said to be progressing satisfactorily. Following the presentation, President Barrow thanked the Ministry, its institutions and donor partners, for supporting the transformation of higher education in The Gambia. | <urn:uuid:bcfa85cc-4492-47dd-b23b-906e214a3dd2> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://foroyaa.net/moherst-makes-presentation-at-the-presidential-delivery-forum/ | 2024-04-13T21:49:47Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.947287 | 664 |
This is the #1 question I get asked – What should I wear for my Maternity Shoot? Just like with any other type of session, there are a TON of options for you to choose from. And I want you to look and feel amazing. Keep in mind that you can do more than 1 outfit too!
Including siblings in maternity photos allows for us to capture a deeper connection between the growing family. BONUS: it captures the anticipation and love that siblings have for their unborn brother or sister. | <urn:uuid:fce84ea3-a2c0-4640-9b78-66df0e7cd7c5> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forthewildlingsphotography.com/tag/dfw-maternity-photographer/ | 2024-04-13T22:42:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.965272 | 105 |
Sorry that I haven’t posted in a while. I was browsing the forum today and saw a post from user @Gaming that was a device on how to crash a game. I then decided that I could make a very very funny trap. So, without further ado and credit to Gaming, let us get into the trap.
First, you’re going to make the crasher. Now, I am not going to show how to make it, but I am going to put Gaming’s guide here: How to crash the game [1/10] - #6 by I_Am_Bigfoot
(For the guide, replace the button with a trigger and make sure it is triggered when receiving on a channel.)
Once that is done, add a button with these settings:
Now add a notification with a block like this:
Then link the button to the notification, and you are done!
You now have a trap that whenever someone presses the button, it will crash the entire game that they’re in. | <urn:uuid:4732230f-e365-4cd6-a250-8f9ac9aa0ce1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forum.creative.gimkit.com/t/patched-how-to-make-the-game-crashing-trap/28123 | 2024-04-13T23:37:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.962243 | 215 |
does anyone think that capping with a heli is dumb AF?
you actually need to LAND to cap…?!?
instead of a “PLATE” (only things on ground count as caping), how about making it a “CYLINDER”, so helis can dogfight while capping, or at least…
prevent capp-o-meter rising while FLYING inside cap-space?
…or something other than as it is now?
But the base is on the ground, not in the sky. Just put some ground movement parts on.
rofl, lol, lmao…then why even drive a heli in the first place, m8…?!?
it’s not like they (the devs) CAN’T make the area of caping effect higher…
You tell me, you’re the one playing it… I think it’s stupid and badly implemented.
You don’t know that. Base cap could be coded and tied to the ground terrain etc.
For me, switching between ground and air to take advantage of various terrain and situations is the best part of heli mode. Cover your build in tracks, Goliath or Sleipnir are best, or save weight and use wheels, or get some Gerrida legs. They’re all good in their way.
Yeah, it’s the bouncing between modes that’s really fun.
Although my current helicopter doesn’t have any ground parts, which is something I should change.
fair enough…i thought it was kinda dumb that u had to land to cap, but if yall like it that way, then i guess it’s good enough as it is…
i believe they said they didnt design it to be this way. not to mention it would have alot of unfair advantages as well. making it to high would make it be way to easy for helis to capture bases.
just add some movement parts to your heli build its not difficult. on mine i have a dual incinerator build with atoms on it and they can be a life saver at times. they help to absorb some damage and provide some protection to. id fuse them though to increase tonnage or use less power.
well, if they designed it that way…that’s that.
i stoped playing b4 helis were brought in (i think it was around after the brotherhood was implemented), and only recently came back.
my post was more along the lines of allowing dogfights to prevent capture much like car do, is all… | <urn:uuid:99d01b17-b5f4-46cf-95c0-864b41e94da1> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forum.crossout.net/t/heli-capping-dumb-much/20558 | 2024-04-13T23:05:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.976181 | 548 |

Thanks for all.
Gotta few more here, hope they aren’t too obvious. I’m back in my folks house for Xmas and have absolutely feck all to do so I’m gonna melt a few heads with some tunes, hopefully this brings out a few of the younger Lingq heads from hiding.
May as well spread a bit of German hued cheer!
This is, was huge, you have probably heard it. I honestly think Seed generally are crap and the idea of German reggae isn’t exactly enticing but this isn’t reggae and is actually a wee bit of a tune, better on a decent soundsystem.
Seed - Ding
I’m a massive hiphop fan and whatever that dude said about not listening to hiphop because it may offend is nonsense. It’s not all guns and bitches and this wee tune from Absolute Beginners sums that up. It’s frankly one of the best hh tunes I have ever heard no matter the language, up there with the best and very reminiscent of Saian Supa Crew (for your Franzoisich hh heads!) back in their hayday.
“Fuchs muss tun was ein fuchs tun muss!”
Straight out of the '98, pure beats and melody, sounds unreal on a decent system due to beautiful low end production. Check this out!
Absolute Beginners - Fuchse
Heard to put into words how influential this tune was on techno/electro a few years back, almost single handedly spawned Fischerspooner and the whole electroclash thing. Smoky, entirely sexy, it pretty much grabs you by the throat and forces you to dance. Beats on this one by Felix da Housecat but the almost computer vox by Frances Miss Kitten make it what is. Sung in English, this though is the sound of Germany
Miss Kitten - Silver Screen Shower Scene
This one is Bolz Bolz, German producer with Remix duties by Englands and Leftfields Paul Daley. A pure stinker and almost sums up why Germany excels at dance music. Rhythmic, paced melodic it packs a punch but always takes a step back and allows itself to build. Disturbingly good.
Bolz Bolz - Take A Walk (Paul Daley’s Drunken Bass Rmx)
A beautiful song, chanson style by the great Freddy Quinn. Don’t worry about those slightly dubious records he put out by the great German experiment in Namibia, this was the man at the height at his powers. Yes, we all know Brel etc did this better in French but this is great 60’s production and a beautiful sentiment as well.
Freddy Quinn - Komm Bald Wieder
Relentless relentless relentless. Sums up Frankfurts biggest producer, in terms of sales and the fact he’s a bit of a muscleman. Don’t let the self absorption put you off Chris is a great guy! This is rolling techno that builds until the block is either dead, or dancing. Boom.
Chris Liebing - American Madness
Beautifully tuneful, with an ear for the more melancholic side of vocal future house. Moderat pretty much shows us how long players should exist in 2012. Beautifully building, dark and secretive. A showcase song from a showcase artist.
Moderat - Rusty Nails
Not sure if this was really released, again this is dance music which I will probably only be dealing with so I guess if you want schlagers or “german popular music” from my posts you may be disappointed. Lets face it, Deutschland comes into its own in the nightclub but this doesn’t mean you have to be a on drugs or into the beats to get this music. This song is as haunting as any Johnny Cash ballad to me, it has the hi hats, it has ‘pep’ but you almost feel to dance to or to celebrate would do it a disservice.
One that sneaks up on you.
Schatrax - Misspent Years
This is something that is what it is. It’s as old as the hills, the remix is by an Englishman but this is still an assault on the senses 8 years later. Earplugs bitte, it will get you kicked you out of your Wohnung.

Damaged device hasn't been found in Warehouse and I have proofs that it was returned to Flower Mound, Tx return center
Damaged device was sent back to assurion on April was delivered to Flower Mound Texas on May 07,2021. Now Assurion is saying that the device wasn't received. I have 2 weeks calling At&T and Assurion they have open almost 5 cases and nothing has been resolved. August 24, 2021 they were going to give me credit between 3-5 business days because they had found the device it in the warehouse but it wasn't fully scanned.

When using C4R can you have 2 different version of Revit open ?
I seem to get an issue when ever I'm working in one version and then have to open up a different version to make some minor modifications. that when I come to choose the project folder it just stays on loading until I close both versions and then re-open the version needed for C4R
If you click on Revit's help button, select "About Autodesk Revit 20xx," and then click the license info button, do you find that your two versions of Revit are licensed using two different serial numbers?
Autodesk C4R QA
A possible workaround that might work in this case is to start the second instance with 'Run as a different user' (Shift+Right Click) on Revit.exe or Revit icon
Does this allow you to resolve the problem?

The Hyundai i30 is a small family car manufactured by the South Korean manufacturer Hyundai Motor Company since 2006. The i30 shares its platform with the Kia Ceed, available as a three-door hatchback (2012–2017), five-door hatchback, five-door estate and five-door liftback (2017–present), with a choice of three petrol engines and two diesel engines, either with manual or automatic transmission.

Which bodystyle do you prefer?
An amazing car which is also a quality track weapon. Please bring it to fm8 it’s in horizon!! I know this thread says i30. But please we only need the n variants in the game. Lol
i30 N is in FH5, now it needs to join Motorsport so it can be tested down in the Nurburgring!
One thing to remind Turn 10: If you’ll bring this in a future FM update, there are issues encountered with the i30 N in FH5. This needs to be fixed before bringing it to Motorsport. I’ll address the issues down below.
The i30 N in-game is a 8-speed DCT, but why does it act like a 6-speed Manual? It only got up to 6 gears maximum. Also, the shifting is slow, as it acts like a 6MT sometimes.
We might end up installing a Race clutch and a Race 8-speed transmission instead. Although, the model of the i30 N in FH5 is the 8-DCT version, which is not an issue. What I’m talking about is the shifting behavior and maximum gears of 6, which is the main problem.
Lastly, the Speedometer is Km/h, but it unfortunately act…
This car is already in FH5 so | <urn:uuid:be864f0b-ba3c-45a6-a0a7-0aae80b865a3> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://forums.forza.net/t/hyundai-i30-2016-current/637985 | 2024-04-13T22:41:00Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.926679 | 515 |
Approximate Purchase Date: Within a month or two
Budget Range: Well- the parts list has me at around $1200....
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Hardcore gaming 4 months out of year, then casual usage
Are you buying a monitor: After the build is made, maybe later on, but more concerned about getting this thing in the bedroom all setup than about a monitor.
Parts to Upgrade: Everything- new build!
Do you need to buy OS: Yes sadly. Planning to buy W7 HP 64bit.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I've enjoyed shopping on newegg, but anywhere that is cheapest yet has good customer service.
Location: Dallas, Texas- United States
Parts Preferences: Intel for sure. No AMD.
Overclocking: Maybe, but not sure if I want to mess with it. The processor I have in the parts list looks as if it'll do just fine without overclocking for my usage.
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe, but need to learn more about this/ don't think my graphics card in parts list is what I need for this.
Your Monitor Resolution: Honestly I don't know what my new monitor will have or what my current one does. It's sitting in the garage not being used.
Additional Comments: I'm sort of adamant about keeping the i7-3770k. This is because I want to have a top notch processor which is futureproof and won't be a part I'll be upgrading for a while (rather upgrade a graphics card or something)
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Don't want a cheap prebuilt computer/ want to learn more about computers.

Gastritis In Dogs
Gastritis is any condition in which your dog’s stomach becomes inflamed.
While acute cases of gastritis tend to resolve themselves quickly, in as little as a day, chronic cases can cause permanent damage if the condition isn’t managed.
That’s why it’s important to not only understand the symptoms of gastritis in dogs, but the causes, types, and possible treatment options. Here’s everything you need to know.
Symptoms Of Gastritis In Dogs
Wondering how to tell if your dog has gastritis? There are a few common symptoms of gastritis in dogs, including:
- Abdominal pain
- Bleeding from the intestinal tract (often seen in stool or vomit)
- Weight loss
- Poor coat appearance
What Causes Gastritis In Dogs?
There are many possible causes of gastritis in dogs. It could be from a lifetime of eating foods your dog doesn’t digest well, or a one-off occasion where your dog ate some garbage or a specific food that upset his stomach. Here are the most common causes of gastritis in dogs.
1. FoodCertain foods can cause gastritis in dogs. If the gastritis has just started, and you’ve made recent changes to your dog’s diet, it could be that something you’ve added to his food doesn’t agree with him.
It’s possible your dog is allergic or sensitive to a particular food or ingredient. Long-term exposure to environmental allergens can also cause gastritis in dogs.
3. Medications Or Chemicals
Pharmaceutical drugs or chemicals found in household cleaners or other products can ause gastritis and other problems, especially if your dog swallows them directly.
Some common household products and chemicals that irritate dogs include:
- Heavy metals
- Driveway salt and bath salts
- Acids and rubbing alcohol
- Bleach and other cleaners
When a dog eats foreign bodies or garbage, he may develop “garbage gut” – a catch-all term for when dogs swallow molds, fungi, spoiled or raw food, leftovers, cat litter, or other garbage. Eating these things can cause acute gastritis in dogs.
Finally, gastritis can also be a symptom of underlying illnesses, such as kidney or liver disease. These systemic diseases and infections can cause chronic gastritis in dogs.
Types of Gastritis In Dogs
There are three types of gastritis in dogs: acute, chronic, and atrophic. While all types of gastritis tend to have similar symptoms, there are important differences when it comes to the length of the illness and severity of symptoms.
Acute gastritis in dogs is by far the most common. Since it’s acute, the condition usually resolves itself quickly … usually in less than 24 hours. Gastritis that lasts up to a week is still technically classified as acute. The quicker timeline can make it harder to determine the cause of acute gastritis. Most of the time, though, it’s caused by eating foreign bodies, medication, or a new kind of food.
If you know which of these things caused the acute gastritis, then you can take measures to prevent it from happening again. For example, maybe you tried feeding your dog broccoli only to find that it doesn’t agree with him. In the future, you can avoid feeding broccoli. Similarly, if you know a certain kind of medication upsets your dog’s stomach, you can try to avoid it or alert your vet in the future.
Any form of gastritis that lasts longer than seven days is technically chronic gastritis. If your dog experiences digestive issues, vomiting, or other gastritis symptoms for more than a week, he may have chronic gastritis.
If chronic gastritis is left untreated for too long, it can lead to serious intestinal damage, and even stomach bleeding. Since chronic gastritis can also be a sign of other illnesses, you may want to take your dog to the vet to rule out a more serious issue.
If chronic gastritis is left untreated, it can develop into atrophic gastritis. At this point, serious damage has been done to the stomach lining, which means there is a higher risk of ulcers, infections, and long-term digestive issues.
How To Test For Gastritis In Dogs
How can you tell if your dog has gastritis? Aside from the symptoms above, there are a few ways your vet can diagnose gastritis in your dog.
Since acute gastritis is so short-lasting, it usually passes before any type of testing is necessary.
Chronic gastritis, on the other hand, can pose long term risks if it isn’t corrected, or it could be a sign of other illnesses, so it’s important to test for gastritis if you think your dog might have this condition.
Your vet can perform several test for gastritis, including:
- Chemical blood profile
- Complete blood count
- Abdominal X-rays, contrast X-rays, and abdominal ultrasounds
Treatment For Gastritis In Dogs
If your dog has acute gastritis, no treatment is necessary. The issue should resolve itself in 7 days or less.
However, if your dog’s symptoms last longer than that, it may be time to speak to your vet about the possibility of chronic gastritis.
If the gastritis is severe, medical treatments can include prescribed anti-vomiting medications and gastrointestinal protectants. In severe cases of stomach ulcers, a proton pump inhibitor may be used and H2 receptor antagonists may be prescribed.
However, before resorting to these drugs, which can have some side effects, there are also a few ways to treat gastritis at home.
How To Treat Gastritis In Dogs At Home
Start by withholding food from your dog for 24-48 hours. If he goes 24 hours without vomiting, you can reintroduce a bland, easily digestible food (like bone broth, or cooked ground turkey with pumpkin).
After 24-48 hours with no ill effects, resume feeding your dog small meals throughout the day. For example, you can feed 4 small meals instead of 2 large ones, etc.
It’s very important to give your dog plenty of water throughout this period. Gastritis symptoms can cause serious fluid loss, and you don’t want your dog to get dehydrated.
Over the course of the next 2 to 3 days, you can gradually increase your dog's food meals to normal portions. If your dog resumes vomiting at any point, it’s time to speak to your vet.
How To Prevent Gastritis In Dogs
As with many things, preventing gastritis in dogs comes back to a high-quality diet, making sure your dog doesn’t have any parasites, and feeding him a healthy (preferably fresh whole food raw meat based) diet consistently over time. This is the best defense against chronic gastritis.
As for acute gastritis, monitoring your dog to make sure he’s not eating anything he’s not supposed to can go a long way. If you’re introducing new foods or medications, do so slowly and pay attention to see if he develops any negative symptoms. | <urn:uuid:591eb120-8626-4ec2-9846-5cf808a6f4a9> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://fourleafrover.com/blogs/natural-health/gastritis-in-dogs | 2024-04-13T21:50:57Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.927851 | 1,513 |

Imagine Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Annie Ross and Edith Piaf taking a turn from Barbara Kingsolver and Dr. Seuss and you’ll have some idea of these mad and moving musical adventures! Whether it’s a plaintive cry for families at the border, a polyrhythmic improvisation on the physics of sound, an anthem to the preservation of wild rivers and oceans, or a musical ride on the love train, Terry, Becky & Elise cook from the minute they hit the stage. Bringing three radically different voices to the blend, their voices find each other in that mysterious world of harmony in diversity. The trio’s concerts are also famous for getting the audience singing, and even self-professed “non-singers” find themselves part of an Impromptu Glorious Chorus. Elise Witt, who has sung with Bobby McFerrin, along with Terry Garthwaite and Becky Reardon, will also collaborate with Rip Jackson and the First Parish sanctuary choir during part of the concert. A free will offering will be taken to defray concert costs. For more information call the church at 781-862-8200 or visit www.fplex.org.
The amazing vocal trio Natural Rhythms consists of 3 dynamic singer/instrumentalists. Becky Reardon’s voice is familiar to the millions of people who heard her sing on the Charlie Brown TV specials (Charles Schultz called her his favorite singer!). Becky’s songs and rounds are treasured for their ability to move singers and listeners to ancient places of pleasure and healing. Terry Garthwaite is an internationally known singer, songwriter, composer, producer, and teacher and has shared the stage with BB King, Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt, The Band, Allen Ginsberg, Santana, Rosalie Sorrels, and many others. Elise Witt is a singer, composer, musical ambassador, and community activist and has sung with Bobby McFerrin. She has been a cultural ambassador to South Africa, Italy, Nicaragua, Switzerland, China, and Bosnia. | <urn:uuid:92521bb7-44fd-4831-9db3-cd69df936f36> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://fplex.org/events/natural-rhythms-concert/ | 2024-04-13T21:55:55Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.934729 | 471 |

Ivermectin obliterates 97 percent of India's Delhi Covid-19 casesPosted on 06/02/2021 7:33:54 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Ping for your interest
Yeah...but it doesn’t work /mega sarc
The pattern continues. Deep State and Pharma operatives with help from the Leftist Media, in concert, denigrating any low cost-effective treatment to push Pharma’s “EXPERIMENTAL” high cost, high-profit drugs. The demonization of HCQ/Z-Pack/Zinc is the same thing. It has recently been revealed that Fauci himself, in 2005 published a paper touting HCQ as both an effective remedy and prophylactic. While denying this since the moment President Trump mentioned it at a Presser.
Biden/Fauci MUST have shipped India tens of millions of doses of the magical elixir they label 'vaccine'.
Doc Justus Hope is on a ranting rampage. Go Doc!
But...but...we need double blind studies in which human guinea pigs are denied the treatment, suffer and die to prove that it works.
It would be interesting to see a RCT with the Vax in the control arm and ivm in the treatment arm.
We’ll never see that, of course.
RE: But...but...we need double blind studies in which human guinea pigs are denied the treatment, suffer and die to prove that it works.
You want the double blind studies, we have it as well.
Five Random Controlled Trials (RCTs) recently published in mainstream scientific journals that confirm major, statistically significant benefits of Ivermectin against COVID-19
Rehman Medical College RCT Reveals Ivermectin & Azithromycin Safe & Effective for Mild COVID-19 Patients
Expected, that’s why India went back to Ivermectin. Got sick of seeing the country collapse and it was going to take far too long to wait around for vaccines.
Seems like a smart move, surprised other countries chose the sickness/death path instead.
The Freerepublic docs say they wouldn’t give it to their patients even if they were dying and requested it.
It looks like that was done in India, unintentionally, since the state of Tamil Nadu refused to use Ivermectin and suffered huge case increases and deaths.
Double blind study by political edict.
RE: Got sick of seeing the country collapse and it was going to take far too long to wait around for vaccines.
India has 1.4 BILLLION ( That’s Billion with a “B” ) People.
You can either wait for western vaccines to be made available by the billions ( make that double since you need two shots for most ) or wait to develop your own vaccines ( which India is doing ), or use the Chinese vaccines ( Yeah right, China is India’s mortal enemy . They just had a border fight with nearly a hundred soldiers on both sides dead ).
Or.... they can use Ivermectin ( with a recommended cocktail ), which is widely available, cheap, has been studied, has extensive use for Covid worldwide and within India.
These are the choices. Other than that, what’s the alternative?
Dean of prestigious Emory Medical School in Atlanta endorses Ivermectin use. No coverage in the local Atlanta Journal-Constitution nor CNN.
Existing affordable drugs could rapidly reduce Covid-19 cases and deaths in India
FLCCC Alliance Statement on the Irregular Actions of Public Health Agencies and the Widespread Disinformation Campaign Against Ivermectin
Ivermectin meta-study, with other meta-studies linked in the page header.
We are witnessing a crime against humanity by the public health authorities and Big Pharma.
RE: The Freerepublic docs say they wouldn’t give it to their patients even if they were dying and requested it.
What’s the doc’s alternative?
If it’s acknowledged that there is a treatment for covid19, that Ivermectin works, might have to yank the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization for the vaccines. Can’t have that. So can’t acknowledge that Ivermectin works.
Fauzi said so don’t you know.
RE: If it’s acknowledged that there is a treatment for covid19, that Ivermectin works, might have to yank the FDA’s Emergency Use Authorization for the vaccines.
People can be given a choice.... use Ivermectin or take the vaccines.

January 17, 1997
Winter has finally arrived in Nashville, so lately I’ve spent a lot of time watching the Weather Channel, and listening to weather reports on the news, just so I know what’s not going to happen during the course of the day. I think all this is starting to really affect me, though–I’m actually starting to find these weather reports interesting. I had to slap myself awake the other night because I was mesmerized by those little H’s and L’s buzzing across the screen. As my last defense against completely losing my mind in a cold front, I started thinking of ways to make the weather more interesting. With all those graphics they have, the weather isn’t far off from being more than a giant video game. People by the millions would tune in to hear updates about Ralph the intern and Lisa the anchor blasting each other with hurricanes, gale force winds, and tornadoes. It would be a lot more interesting than what’s really going on. The problem is it would upset too many people. There would be bets on where the next tornado would touch down, there would be under-the-table payments for rain to wash out baseball games, and schoolkids would flood the office with mail begging for snow. Maybe it’s better just to leave it alone. Besides, there’s something reassuring about the weather report. It does my ego a little bit of good to know that, even if I can’t predict the weather, neither can anyone else.
Enjoy this week’s offering.
From a newspaper contest where entrants were asked to imitate "Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey."
My young son asked me what happens after we die. I told him we get buried under a bunch of dirt and worms eat our bodies. I guess I should have told him the truth–that most of us go to Hell and burn eternally–but I didn’t want to upset him.
It sure would be nice if we got a day off for the president’s birthday, like they do for the queen. Of course, then we would have a lot of people voting for a candidate born on July 3 or December 26, just for the long weekends.
Democracy is a beautiful thing, except for that part about letting just any old yokel vote.
Home is where the house is.
Often, when I am reading a good book, I stop and thank my teacher. That is, I used to, until she got an unlisted number.
As you make your way through this hectic world of ours, set aside a few minutes each day. At the end of the year, you’ll have a couple of days saved up.
It would be terrible if the Red Cross Bloodmobile got into an accident. No, wait. That would be good because if anyone needed it, the blood would be right there.
Give me the strength to change the things I can, the grace to accept the things I cannot, and a great big bag of money.
The people who think Tiny Tim is strange are the same ones who think it odd that I drive without pants.
For centuries, people thought the moon was made of green cheese. Then the astronauts found that the moon is really a big hard rock. That’s what happens to cheese when you leave it out.
Think of the biggest number you can. Now add five. Then, imagine if you had that many Twinkies. Wow, that’s five more than the biggest number you could come up with!
I bet living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.
The only stupid question is the one that is never asked, except maybe "Don’t you think it is about time you audited my return?" or "Isn’t is morally wrong to give me a warning when, in fact, I was speeding?"
Once, I wept for I had no shoes. Then I came upon a man who had no feet. So I took his shoes. I mean, it’s not like he really needed them, right?
When I go to heaven, I want to see my grandpa again. But he better have lost the nose hair and the old-man smell.
I believe you should live each day as if it is your last, which is why I don’t have any clean laundry because, come on, who wants to wash clothes on the last day of their life?
I often wonder how come John Tesh isn’t as popular a singer as some people think he should be. Then, I remember it’s because he sucks.
Whenever I start getting sad about where I am in my life, I think about the last words of my favorite uncle: "A truck!"
If you really want to impress people with your computer literacy, add the words "dot com" to the end of everything you say, dot com.
I like to go down to the dog pound and pretend that I’ve found my dog. Then I tell them to kill it anyway because I already gave away all of his stuff. Dog people sure don’t have a sense of humor.
THIRD RUNNER UP
I don’t know about you, but I enjoy watching paint dry. I imagine that the wet paint is a big freshwater lake that is the only source of water for some tiny cities by the lake. As the lake gets drier, the population gets more desperate, and sometimes there are water riots. Once there was a big fire and everyone died.
SECOND RUNNER UP
I once heard the voice of God. It said "Vrrrrmmmmm." Unless it was just a lawn mower.
FIRST RUNNER UP
I gaze at the brilliant full moon. The same one, I think to myself, at which Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato gazed. Suddenly, I imagine they appear beside me. I tell Socrates about the national debate over one’s right to die and wonder at the constancy of the human condition. I tell Plato that I live in the country that has come the closest to Utopia, and I show him a copy of the Constitution. I tell Aristotle that we have found many more than four basic elements and I show him a periodic table. I get a box of kitchen matches and strike one. They gasp with wonder. We spend the rest of the night lighting farts.
If we could just get everyone to close their eyes and visualize world peace for an hour, imagine how serene and quiet it would be until the looting started. | <urn:uuid:653057d0-f966-438f-a799-3e38298fc356> | CC-MAIN-2024-18 | https://freethinkersanonymous.com/1997/01/handeyesqueisms/ | 2024-04-13T21:30:12Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2024-18/segments/1712296816853.44/warc/CC-MAIN-20240413211215-20240414001215-00067.warc.gz | en | 0.976637 | 1,375 |
Much of the attention and online discussion around the US Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC’s) just-released privacy report focuses on the concept of a “Do Not Track” mechanism, similar to the “Do Not Call” list now in place. The recommendation is that any such capability operate at the browser level and communicate to publishers and their cookies in real time whether the consumer wishes to be tracked or targeted.
Here’s a relevant excerpt about the idea from the commission’s report:
Commission staff supports a more uniform and comprehensive consumer choice mechanism for online behavioral advertising, sometimes referred to as “Do Not Track.” … The most practical method of providing uniform choice for online behavioral advertising would likely involve placing a setting similar to a persistent cookie on a consumer’s browser and conveying that setting to sites that the browser visits, to signal whether or not the consumer wants to be tracked or receive targeted advertisements.
Yet the report and its recommendations are much broader than online behavioral targeting or the idea of a Do Not Track capability. It proposes a sweeping new privacy framework that would encompass both online (including mobile) and offline marketing and data collection:
The framework applies to all commercial entities that collect or use consumer data that can be reasonably linked to a specific consumer, computer, or other device.
The early part of the report, which argues that consumers do care about privacy, is full of references to privacy snafus and scandals with all our favorite internet brands, including Google and Facebook:
Consumer survey data discussed during roundtable panels and in comments also evidences consumer interest in privacy. For instance, consumer surveys have shown that a majority of consumers are uncomfortable with being tracked online, although the surveys provide little or no information about the degree of such discomfort or the proportion of consumers who would be willing to forego the benefits of targeted advertising to avoid being tracked. In addition, the public outcry and backlash in response to the rollout of new services, such as Facebook Beacon and Google’s social networking service “Buzz,” further evidence consumer interest in the privacy of their information.
The immediate purpose of the report is to elicit further comment on principles and recommendations and to provide guidelines for potential Congressional legislation and rule-making. There are a number of principles that are at the core of the new framework: make consumer privacy central to data collection, simplify privacy and provide more disclosures to consumers about how their data will be used.
While many companies may publicly welcome better consumer privacy protection, the ideas in the report go against most of the targeting and data collection practices in use today. Most of them (with some notable exceptions) rely on consumer ignorance.
The new framework would place burdens on online ad networks, data vendors and others in the advertising value chain that most would find unwelcome. And more information disclosures and consumer control over data would probably mean more consumers opting out of much of online tracking and targeting.
Display ads would potentially suffer but search would probably not be substantially impacted. That’s because search is one of the few online ad vehicles that doesn’t rely heavily on audience or behavioral targeting — although some of that has crept into search recently.
All this is speculative right now and none of these recommendations have the force of law. Much could change as this framework is discussed by lawmakers and potentially codified. But if regulations consistent with the report were enacted it would mean a comprehensive overhaul of current privacy and data collection practices for marketers across the board.
